The Bold And The Beautiful Weekly Summary For May 21-25.
Bill bluntly ordered Katie to get an abortion. Given her health problems, a pregnancy could be suicide. He broke into tears and blubbered about how afraid he was to lose her. She refused to back down from her choice. Later, she told Brooke the news. She was stunned and worried about her health. After hearing about the episode with the annulment papers, Katie ran off to find Steffy and question her about it. Liam kept thinking it over too.
Brooke and Steffy bickered about Hope and Liam's impending wedding as Hope was telling him that she was back to her old self. Meanwhile, Alison planted a spying device in Dr. Barton's office. This was all on Bill's orders. Justin thought this was another bad move but his friend would not listen. Bill listened in to Hope's therapy session and got the idea to track down her dad, Deacon. Hope had discussed her daddy issues with her shrink, but refused to track him down since she wanted to focus her attention on her wedding. Bill decided that Deacon was the key. He sent Alison to dig him up. Once they got his location, Bill and Justin flew off to visit Deacon in prison. He offered to get him out if he would follow his orders. Deacon was reluctant. Bill badgered him and then secured his release by threatening the warden. Finally, Deacon gave in.
Brooke gloated to Stephanie about the wedding going ahead in Italy. Ridge was still skeptical. Down the hall, Steffy and Hope bickered again about who Liam's future would be with. Stephanie showed up in Liam's office and told him not to get the divorce. Meanwhile, Brooke paid Hope a visit and was horrified when her daughter began entertaining the idea of bringing Deacon back into their lives.
Caroline told Thomas about how her grandfather forced her mom into the closet. She worried that Bill might do the same. She thanked him for being understanding. Once he left, Rick showed up. He explained that he loves women's clothes, just not wearing them. After blaming everything on Amber, he kissed Caroline. She kicked him out.

Energy, ATP and Exercise
ATP and Energy
For muscles to contract they need energy. And as you probably know this comes from what we eat: more importantly the glucose and triglycerides in the food. But the muscles do not directly get their energy from here. Their immediate source of energy is ATP (Adenosine TrioPhosphate) [ah-den-o-zyn try-fos-fate] and it has the following structure:
As the diagram shows, there are a string of phosphates coming from the ribose unit which is where ATP gets its energy from. The last bond contains a lot of energy, that is released when it is broken down and forms ADP (adenosine DiPhosphate). This is exactly the same as ATP but with one P removed.
To rebuild energy reserves the body uses energy from respiration to put a P back onto ADP to reform ATP; and thus the molecule is recycled.
Aerobic and Anaerobic
Now we are looking at this in more detail you must know that there are two types of respiration in humans: aerobic and anaerobic, but rather than being two separate types, they are part of the same pathway.
Anaerobic means without oxygen and the first stage of the reaction does not use any, so is anaerobic and produces ATP. If the reaction continues it will use oxygen to produce even more ATP. However, if there is insufficient oxygen then only anaerobic respiration will take place and lactate (which is acidic) is produced as a by-product. The below table summarises the two systems.
|Type of Supply
|Near maximum for up to 1 minute
|Long term exercise but lower intensity
|ATP produced
|2 per glucose molecule
|Up to 36 can be produced per glucose molecule
|By product
|Only carbon dioxide
|Athletic Comparison
|200m to 400m sprints
|From 800m to marathons
Muscle Fatigue
When not enough oxygen gets to the muscles, the respiration will become more anaerobic. Continuing this will lead to a build up of lactate in the muscles, which is acidic, and causes a pH drop in the blood plasma. This causes muscle fatigue where muscles ache and do not contract correctly, because the pH levels interfere with the functioning of the proteins and enzymes. So this is what stops you when you are exercising too much.
All of this built-up lactate does not stay in the blood indefinitely. It is taken to the liver where it is broken down to glycogen via the process of oxidation. This process in the liver however, requires oxygen. So after exercise we breath heavily to get enough oxygen to break down the excess lactate, this is known as an oxygen debt.

Tandem kayaks are an awesome approach to appreciating the water with the organization or the companions. They are by and large quicker than single – fueled by two individuals rather than only one – and they are strong and firm, with more length and weight of single kayaks. Tandems can take some getting used to, yet once you take in the fundamentals of paddling with an accomplice that you can cover a lot of miles together.
Most vessel control needs to happen from the outboard position to the rower better versed in the heading and control of strokes should be at the back. Nonetheless, the weight can likewise be a variable in the decision of spot. A handle gathering, for the most part, better if the circular segment is lighter than the stern. Some sit-on-top kayaks truly won't have the capacity to bolster a more prominent weight on the front of the pontoon. It might be a matter of attempting both and see which setup gives better control and steadiness, the heavier individual is not the most experienced paddler.
Moving forward
The kayak American Association expresses that the rower on the front of the boat characterizes the oar rhythm paying little mind to encounter. Both paddlers must oar on the same side of the pontoon while paddling to stay away from the impact. Begin gradually and work on getting used to the pace of every paddling such as pace is the way to a course for the smooth and effective front.
Turning and Boat Control
Numerous tandem inflatable kayak are outfitted with a rudder and control of the watercraft. Most rudders can be dropped or raised to make discretionary use. Normally joined to the rearward sitting arrangement of the pedals, the stern paddler, for the most part, controls the rudder. Simply press the foot holder that compares to the heading you need to turn.
When broad and dynamic should be possible without the utilization of using so as to control both rowers harmony filtering blows on the same side of the watercraft. When more keen should be possible utilizing paddle propels alone the rower utilizing a filtering stroke side of the watercraft far from the turn and the back rower at the same time utilizing a converse scope stroke, on the inverse side of the vessel. Similarly as with the course forward, moving the paddles as one, even in clearing strokes, will move the pontoon in a steady single development.
Rescues are a crucial ability to learn before wandering into the water of any sort. Should you happen to turn, both rowers must stay in contact with the vessel at all times. Also, monitor your racket. Both rowers should adjacent Hull press his lodge on the same side of the watercraft and, utilizing a scissor kick as a part of the water, push up and over to abstain from clearing more water into the pontoon. A sheltered rower stable pontoon, while alternate delays board. Once the first rower is joined to the watercraft, the second rower must enter the pontoon while utilizing a stabilizer the first stroke and/or skim scoop to keep the parity of the vessel to them.

When quality and quantity go head to head, it's the former that usually prevails. Given the University System of Georgia's latest announcement, it appears such is the case in higher education as well.
The system's board of regents recently approved a plan to consolidate eight of the 35 state colleges and universities – Gainesville State College and North Georgia College & State University; Middle Georgia College and Macon State College; Waycross College and South Georgia College; and Augusta State University and Georgia Health Sciences University – into four schools. Spokesman John Millsaps revealed that though the consolidations were brought about by the fledgling economy, the plan was devised with the students in mind: Combining the schools will provide greater access to more classes, degree programs, educators and resources and remove bureaucratic hurdles like transferring credits between institutions.
Are you attending or considering attending one of the institutions to be consolidated? If so, how does this news impact your college career?
And don't forget, you should pay for your college education with as much free money as possible! Find as many scholarships and grants as you can before turning to student loans. Visit the Scholarships.com free college scholarship search today where you'll get matched with countless scholarships and grants for which you qualify, then apply and win! It's that easy!

By Ryn Gargulinski: Quay County Sun
With hundreds attending the Quay County Fair since Tuesday's kickoff, folks have been riding high on the hog — some of them literally.
Tucumcari's Jared Jennings, 17, who has been raising and showing pigs since he was 9, said showcasing his specimens was by far his favorite aspect of the fair.
"I like their personalities," he said his entrants. He said their names are Pig One and Pig Two.
"Pig One is funny and likes to bite," Jennings said, adding it reminds him of himself. "Pig Two is lazy and reminds me of my sister."
The livestock exhibit is also the first thing Tucumcari's Dan Aragon takes his daughter Celeste through every year.
"We love the animals," he said, adding they raise pigs of their own. Theirs are not for show, he said, but for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
Other fair goers were riding high on the rides. The Super Slide was Tucumcari's Katherine Sena's favorite, a ride she said she slid down more than a dozen times — and the only one she'll go on. Not to say Sena didn't also enjoy the animals. She especially preferred the pigs she said, "because they're pink."
Still others were popping balloons or racking up balls in bushels in attempts to win the infamous carnival prizes. San Jon's Niki Krantz, who took the ride to Tucumcari with her family, said she had already spent $50 to win a gift for her boyfriend. Although swine was on many fair goers' minds, her prize of choice was a teddy bear with a heart that said "I love you" — not a giant pink pig.
Next week
Look for full contest results in next Wednesday's Quay County Sun.

Mangalore: VHP, Bajrang Dal condemn cattle trafficking, slam government
Daijiworld Media Network - Mangalore (DV)
Mangalore, Jul 10: The Bajrang Dal and the VHP on Wednesday July 10 condemned the incidents of cattle trafficking in the region over the past few days and held the Congress government responsible for the rise in such incidents.
Jitendra Kottari, district president, Dharma Prachara Samithi, said, "After the Congress government came to power in the state, undivided Dakshina Kannada has witnessed illegal cattle trafficking and other nefarious activities like stealing of idols from temples and Basadis, which have hurt the sentiments of Hindus. VHP and Bajrang Dal severely condemn this."
"Cattle trafficking is increasing at an alarming rate. Today, about 20 cows have been rescued near Ullal. After the formation of this government, there have been various attacks on Hindu sentiments," he added.
"The government should take bold steps to stop cattle trafficking immediately. If the government fails to take action against this, the VHP and Bajrang Dal will hold intense protests," he warned.
Jagadish Shenava, working president, VHP, Sharan Pumpwell, division convener, Bajrang Dal, Gopal Kuthar, secretary, VHP, Bhujanga Kulal, district convener, Bajrang Dal, and Pradeep Pumpwell, district Gouraksha Pramukh, Bajrang Dal, were present on the occasion.

Our relationship with Milwaukee Ballet in 1993. We were looking for a new ballet school for our daughter Jackie, who you now know as Company dancer Jacqueline Moscicke. We wanted her to get the best ballet training possible and since the Milwaukee Ballet School had a reputation for great ballet training and the Company is one of the best in the nation it was a natural choice. It wasn't long before we were asked to be on the parents' board and volunteer with the school helping as backstage dressing room monitors for The Nutcracker. It was a great opportunity for us as a family to get involved. My wife Kris and I still work at the reception desk Saturday mornings.
With the time we spent at Milwaukee Ballet it became our second home. We would be there every night for Jackie's classes, leaving home in the morning at 6 a.m. and not returning until 9:30 p.m. that night. Our son Michael would do his homework in the second floor studio lounge, but Jackie would stay up late to do her homework and even graduated a year early so that she could join the Nancy Einhorn Milwaukee Ballet II trainee program.
The most challenging part of being a parent of a child in training is dealing with the raw emotions that come along with the ballet. The highs of all the accomplishments, promotions, and opportunities, and the lows of fatigue, rehearsing, stress and injuries. But the challenges have made as all closer as a family.
Our local community of Sussex, Wisconsin has been following Jackie's training and career throughout the years. We are often stopped at the grocery store, drug store, restaurants, etc. and people mention Jackie and want an update on what is going on with her career. Michael ran into one of his college friends and found out she had been following Jackie's career for several years now and did not know Michael was her brother. It was a nice surprise for the both of them at this season's performance of The Nutcracker where Michael introduced her to Jackie. We have also become good friends with Jackie's sponsor, Bob Dohmen, and his family. We already had a family connection with Bob but it was nice to see him and get to know him better. It seems whatever we do or where ever we go it has something to do with Milwaukee Ballet. We have grown up and grown together as a ballet family.

text: The other night while DD was nursing she fell asleep so I slipped my finger in to unlatch her...well she was having no part of that and started to suck furiously! Problem was, my nipple was already half way out. Now here we are three days later and my nipple is cracked and has bloody spots on it. It's been so sore since the incident and it kills me when she first latches on or when I start up the pump. I've been religiously using my Lansinoh lanolin on it and making sure my pads are dry all the time. Does anyone have any other suggestions to help ease this discomfort while I'm waiting for my poor nip to heal? I don't even remember either of them hurting this bad in the begining when we were first learning to BF.

Later this month I'm leaving to visit my father and help and abet my youngest niece's wedding. She has asked me to do one of the readings during the service and also, because it's a huge family get-together, to consider a color palette in green-blue-yellow for photo purposes.
And so started several days of staring at various websites looking for the Right Dress. Pretty soon I was so confused that I started downloading pictures and emailing them to my friend Nan, with whom I sell clothes and other outgrown whims and sizes on eBay and, hence, whose clothing sense is verifiably akin to my own.
This is a big deal for me because I walk dogs and write for a living. I have many sets of the same sweatpants and shorts and a stock of t-shirts that I try to weed the stained ones from, although I keep a couple for taking my ball-mad dog to the dog run. I put on a dress a half a dozen times a year and in the majority of cases, the dress comes home covered in dog hair because my friends all have Labs. Or my Lab's friends all have humans I like a lot.
But I digress.
I didn't go to the prom. I never got married. Anytime something like a wedding or big even comes up, I get into a tizzy. This wedding seems to be a low-key event in that my niece is wearing a tea-length dress. I had to work in the perimeters of not too much formality and green-yellow-blue. I emailed Nan pictures of navy chiffon and flowered chiffon, Monet-print key-hole sheaths and royal blue beaded maxi dresses. I spent hours of both our time seeking out chiffon or tuxedo jackets to hide my arms, which we agreed need coverage.
As I was about to give up on my favorite websites, I remembered eShakti, which allows the buyer to tailor its clothes. One can order a dress made-to-fit or in a regular size, but one can also very often choose the type of sleeve, neckline, length. I downloaded any dress I could add sleeves to that came in my niece's color scheme and together Nan and I decided on a turquoise number. I posted the picture on Facebook and my niece and her matron of honor, also a niece, both praised the choice. I assured them it had sleeves and their guests would be safe.
I was immensely relieved until I started worrying about shoes.
The dress arrived yesterday. I tried it on and my heart fell to the floor because it was desperately tight. The neckline was so low that my bra showed. I didn't know if I had the energy to start the search over again so I called Nan and asked if I could run over and show her.
Let me say now that trying on clothes in 95-degree high humidity weather ought to be considered a form of sports. I dropped the dress over my head, smuggled it over my boobs and tugged it into place. Feeling like a wedding shower gift of awkward dimensions wrapped in eye-burning turquoise I walked into Nan's study for her opinion.
"It's not too tight, Frances," she said. "It fits." She circled around me, rubbing the fabric between her fingers and noting the clever sewing. "It shows off your curves."
I cocked my head, thinking and sweating. I could move my arms. I could bend over. But I don't like seeing the exact girth at the empire waist and my breasts. It makes me feel so fat. But what I consider embarrassingly tight is actually form fitting. The clothes I prefer leave me looking shapelessly big. It seems I have a choice between curves and fat or blocky and big.
Curves and fat are the honest choice. Big and blocky is a clumsy attempt to lie when you're caught red-handed in the act of being fat.
Last summer, I had a dress tailored exactly to my measurements from eShakti. I took it to Nan's as well, as a back-up for the wedding. I knew it was too big because it's a dress that zips and I can pull it on over my head. It was comfortable when I put in on for her, but, I said, somehow too big...
"In the boobs," Nan said. "It's a fitted empire and the material is all pouchy in the boobs."
This is classic Fat Dysmorphia. I don't understand the difference between fitting perfectly and tight. My definition of tight is the buttons gapping but neither dress had buttons so I couldn't tell. I finally had a taste of what Lori and Monte go on about with their plus-sized brides on Say Yes to the Dress. If I were getting married, my instincts would be to be filmed on Say Yes to the Pup Tent.
I had done one thing correctly before going over to Nan's. I took off my sports bra and put on the lacy underwire bra I'd just gotten for the occasion. I t'sked a little at how I didn't fill the cups. It seemed at the moment that I couldn't get anything right. When I got home and took off the prickly lace, I saw that it was a – yes, I'll put this in print – 46B. Maybe I should reconsider how big I think my boobs are the next time I order a size larger t-shirt than I need.
There is another lesson here, which is that a heavy woman should never make important clothing decisions by herself. Nor, for that matter, should the former overweight woman do so.
I once asked my Psychology Today editor about naming clothing companies as resources and she felt that it was in some readers' interests to have this information. In addition to recommending eSkakti as a way to really see your body, then, I'm also going to give a shout out to IGIGI, which offers a "Shapestylist" to help you "Learn your shape. Love yourself. Dress accordingly." Nan and I can also attest to the fact that if you undergrow your IGIGI outfit, it will sell in a nanosecond on eBay.
I'll find out how eShakti does on eBay if I survive my visit to my hometown. As much as I love the dress that was made to measure, I have less of last year's body.
Oh, and my OCD search for shoes led me back Ros Hammerson. I have very sensitive, somewhat wide feet. This brand, which is available through Zappo's or Shoebuy, is actually tolerable for the overweight woman who has reason to wear high heels.
There. I've pimped and primped enough for one day. Do you think any of these companies will send me a freebie?

The screenshots are from the alpha build of the PC version of the game, but according to the developer, all versions, both PC and consoles, will end up looking pretty much the same. Project Cars is a community funded racing simulator game and will feature 30+ racing tracks, dozens of cars (including Formula 1), co-op, franchise mode, 10 game modes, and a social network as well. Hopefully the Wii U version will include some new and interesting features, especially considering the possibilities with the new controller. Project Cars is rumored for release sometime in 2012.

Vivian Jendzio brilliantly blurs the line between drawing and painting, fusing charcoal, pencil, ink, pastel, watercolor and acrylic into her own dynamic style. In her work the physical, emotional and spiritual merge. Images move, advancing, receding, shifting side to side, creating a layered tension that makes surfaces come alive.
Her background in both physical education and fine art translates into a kinetic approach to art. Imagine choreographing a dance: a rush across space, a fluid turn, an embrace, a tumble, a yield to another, a push away, and a final flurry of passion as the dancers surrender to each other. That is the kind of physicality Jendzio brings to her artwork… a rush of feelings built upon layers and layers of sketches, gestural drawings, figurative work, observation, movement… the sheer physical work. These layers flow across her surfaces, then unite as the natural world surrenders to the emotional.
While part of her work's appeal is its spontaneity and immediacy, it is built upon scores of preparatory sketches. She will clip a huge piece of paper to a wall and begin creating. She works intuitively. There is a communion between her, her materials, and her animal images… each member of the trio contributing to the artistic dialogue. She might spend days creating a painting's elements. Then she begins building layer upon layer until finally the components congeal. She says, "After intense anatomical drawings, studies of light on form, the pieces are ready to begin. Each layer must be completely dry before the series of glazing and impasto can be applied. The work becomes intense and autonomic. Because of the in-depth analysis of the subjects, the pieces are depicted with complete feeling and emotion."
When asked what lights her creative fires, she replies, "Nature's internal powers have become the source of inspiration for my paintings. They reflect weight and balance, power and release, synchronization and contraposition. Many paintings utilize opposition through use of color, split planes, and visual fields. It is through these visual forces that the dynamics and the internalization of energy, life, and the reverence for it are revealed."
Jendzio's artwork has won numerous awards. She has exhibited in many prestigious shows and galleries. Her pieces are highly sought after for collections both private and corporate.
To see more of her work visit John Collette Fine Art Gallery at 381 Main Street in Highlands or in Cashiers at 104 Hwy 107 South. They can be reached by calling (828) 743-7977 or (828) 526-0339 or visit the gallery online at www.johncollettefineart.com.by Donna Rhodes

Sometimes it seems like there have been a lot of plane crashes lately. Between Malaysia Airlines Flight 370, Malaysia Airlines Flight 17/a>, and Transasia Airways Flight 235, it sometimes feels like there's never been a worse time to fly.
Of course, that's not true at all. There's statistically almost zero chance at all of you dying in a plane crash, no matter how often you fly. And now there's an app, specifically dedicated to assuaging your fears of dying in an aircraft.

You need to tell us what you've tried already, and where you're confused. This looks a lot like homework or an exam, and we're not going to (not supposed to, at least) just write the answers for you.
Write a short paragraph to answer each of the following questions about solutions of systems of linear equations. You should not perform any calculations, but instead base your explanations on the appropriate properties.
[1] One solution of the homogeneous linear system
x + 2y + z + 3w = 0
x - y + + w = 0
y - z + 2w = 0
is x=-2, y=-1, z=1, ans w=1. Explain why x=4, y=2, z=-2, and w=-2 must also be a solution. Do not perform any row operations.
[2] The vectors x1 and x2 are solutions of the homogeneous linear system Ax=0. Explain why the vector 2x1-3x2 must also be a solution.
one thing you can do which will probably be somewhat better received, is to list which theorems you are allowed to use, and what you think they imply, and how they might apply to this problem. the point of these problems is not to test your skill at calculation, but rather, how you can use the theorems to get results with a minimum of calculation.
these two problems are not that difficult, they are basic applications of general principles of linear algebra.

Snow plow driver discovers 2-year-old tied with twine
Mother arrested on suspicion of tying 2-year-old to bed
A city of Madison snowplow driver is being credited with preventing a bad situation from becoming much worse.
Shortly after 2 p.m. on Tuesday the snowplow driver was clearing snow on Sunfish Court when he spotted a 2-year-old child out by himself wearing only a diaper and a T-shirt.
The driver stopped and when he approached the child, he noticed a length of twine tied around the boy's waist. The snowplow driver called Madison police.
"Shortly thereafter, the mother does show up on the scene and it turns out she had tied the child with a piece of twine to a bed while she was out doing errands," said Joel DeSpain, public information officer for the Madison Police Department. "The child was evidently able to at least un-tie the portion of the twine that was tied to the bed and go outside, because when the plow driver sees him and when we arrived the child still has the piece of twine tied around his waist."
The child's mother, 22-year-old Katrena Salmon was arrested on a tentative charge of child neglect. She was booked and released. The 2-year-old boy was taken to an area hospital to be checked. The child is now in temporary foster care.
"We don't know how long that child was out there, but had that plow driver not come along at the time that he did and the child spent more time out in the elements we could be looking at a very different situation," DeSpain said.

Voters sack sales tax; Haddix out as PTC mayor
A majority of Fayette voters said "no" to a proposed countywide sales tax, and while Peachtree City residents elected three councilmembers, they will face a Dec. 3 runoff election to decide whether Vanessa Fleisch or Harold Logsdon will be their next mayor. Incumbent mayor Don Haddix was sent packing with less than 250 votes.
Meanwhile in Tyrone, incumbent Post 3 councilman Ken Matthews won by a six-vote margin over challenger Pota Coston. And in Woolsey voters rejected a proposal to allow Sunday alcohol package sales by a vote of 16-12, breaking a tie from the previous election.
In Peachtree City, Kim Learnard handily won reelection to her Post 3 council seat beating Cathy Haddix 3,824 to 588. Likewise, Terry Ernst took the Post 4 seat with 2,763 votes to 1,467 for Stephanie Franz. The Post 2 seat in Peachtree City was claimed by Mike King, who pulled in 2.915 votes to beat Shayne Robinson (865) and Austin Chanslor (341).
Though county voters rejected the sales tax 5,522 to 4,135, they did approve allowing Sunday sales by the drink in establishments located in the unincorporated county. The Sunday sales initiative passed with 6.313 in favor and 3,339 against.
In the mayor's race, Fleisch won 39.2 percent of the vote to lead the pack trailed by Logsdon at 27.37 percent. The remainder of the field was led by George Dienhart with 20.29 percent, Ryan Jolly with 7.65 percent and incumbent Mayor Don Haddix bringing up the rear at 5.05 percent.
In losing the SPLOST vote, the county won't get a planned $16.8 million to handle stormwater infrastructure projects in the unincorporated county, where residents will continue to pay the stormwater utility bill. Those funds will be used to finance about $5 million in bond to handle the most urgent projects, county officials have said.
Peachtree City also loses a significant chunk of revenue, more than $14 million, with the SPLOST being sacked. The city had planned to use that money to pay for its road and cart path repairs for several years. It costs about $1.5 million a year to accomplish that, and with money exhausted from the 2004 transportation sales tax, the city will have to find a funding mechanism elsewhere.
These are the final results from tonight's election although they are not yet certified and official.
PTC Mayor:
George Dienhart 957
Vanessa Fleisch 1,849

Not clear in the sense that his phlegm is clear because his allergies aren't an issue; clear in the sense that seconds after Domonic Brown hit a home run, Sanabia hocked a loogie on the baseball in plain view of the cameras.
According to the rulebook, which these days is used more as a guideline than anything, it says:
Rule 8.02: The pitcher shall not — (2) expectorate on the ball, either hand or his glove;
Take a look, should he have been tossed?
(Thanks Fangraphs)
15 Comments
I don't think the team could hit a beach ball on certain nights.
Classic, Bob, classic. Lmfao.
Can't get him for lyin' LOL
We've seen enough scrub pitchers baffle this team this year to know that an occasional spitball isn't the issue. He should probably be suspended, but let's not kid ourselves…they didn't lose because of that.
Only 4-4 against the worst team in the NL that can't score against anyone but us. More dumb baseball last night…not covering 1B, misplaying flyballs, not hustling, plus a terrible bullpen. This team stinks.
Wow. A suspension is in order, no?
I wonder if he was doing that all day, or our offense was just downright pathetic. I thought they'd be smacking the ball right and left after that amazing comeback win…
So what if the Phils have a bad offense? What Sanabia did is against the rules and he should have been tossed, even if he only did it once in disgust. Cheating is cheating.
Tossing him early could have changed the entire game. Getting into a team's bullpen is generally regarded as a positive thing.
I think everyone must have been sleeping or watching some busty woman in the first row, because the Phils should have made an issue of this immediately. Wasn't anyone on the bench paying any attention?
The next pitch he threw after the Brown home run was a FB sinker for a ball, and the one after that Delmon Young hit pretty hard to Ruggiano for an out. I wonder if he was doing it the whole game.
I don't ever condone cheating, but you gotta admit, if there is ever a good time spit on a ball, it's when the other team is celebrating a home run. You'd think the umpires would be trained to watch in that situation.
You should ditch this post ,Pat. Leave it to the other media.
It comes across as lame crybabying.
This team is a absolutley pathetic right now and one pitch has not a thing to do with that.
Wrong. A spitball can definitely have something to do with how a team hits.
In that case, I'd say a lot of pitchers must be throwing their spitballs against the Phillies this season!
Wow .Talk about denaial. With some rare exceptions, this lineup has been dominated by everyone. Like Rudy said- guess they are all throwing spitballsl. But only against the Phillies, since must of the scrubs that dominate the
PHillies can't get anybody else in the league out.
It's not being a crybaby when one is simply reporting what someone did. Nowhere did Pat say it cost the Phils the game or even an out. It's not even being a tattletale, because everyone (except maybe the idiot umpires) have been pointing out Sanabia's disgusting and unsanitary behavior, too.
It should be treated the same as ped use. Cheating is cheating.
From an old hitter..all pitchers cheat!
I'm sure if a pitcher was asked, he'd tell you all hitters cheat, too.

Colorado is set to play the final game of a four-game series against the Florida Marlins at Sun Life Stadium, scoring a combined 20 runs in the first three games. The Rockies have still dropped five of their last seven games and won't find it easy to get their offense going against a leading contender for the NL Cy Young Award. The offense does rank second in the the National League in some important categories including runs and (454) and on-base percentage (.340). The overall series between the two teams stands at an even 75-75, but the club is a disappointing 28-45 against the Marlins in South Beach. The Rockies will find themselves as a road underdog of +175 to +200 for the first time this year, posting a 2-6 mark in this situation the last three years (-240). Colorado has always been solid during the summer months, especially during July, tallying a 10-5 record this year (+500) and 42-26 mark the last three years (+1,100).
Rockies starting pitcher Jorge De La Rosa has struggled mightily since returning from a two and a half month layoff on the disabled list. He has lasted just 7.2 innings in two starts, giving up 11 earned runs on 10 hits in compiling a 12.91 ERA. "The first two starts post-rehab have been very erratic," manager Jim Tracy said. "I don't think he's giving himself an opportunity to use his repertoire of pitches." The left-hander is 1-1 with a 10.80 ERA in two road starts on the year, surrendering four long balls and issuing nine walks in just 8.1 frames. De La Rosa will be making his ninth career appearance (eighth start) against today's opponent, going 3-4 with a 6.57 ERA.
Florida sits just two games under .500 and has to feel confident in throwing its ace at Colorado this afternoon. The Marlins have managed to display no home field advantage this season, coming in with an even 24-24 mark (-360) and have averaged 4.5 runs at Sun Life Stadium compared to the visitors scoring 4.4. The total is 26-19 O/U for the Fish in Miami this season and 112-87 O/U the last three years. The starting rotation has the fourth-best home ERA in the National League at 3.30, while the bullpen owns a 4.71 ERA at home while posting a 3.86 mark on the road. Florida sits at 14-12 in day games this season (+300) with the total being 10-15 O/U in those games.
Marlins starting pitcher Josh Johnson is set to make his 20th start of the season, posting a 10-3 record and 1.62 ERA. He came away with his 10th victory last time out, holding the Nationals scoreless over six frames, allowing seven hits and striking out seven. The power right-hander has tossed at least six innings in his last 17 starts overall and finished the first half with the lowest ERA in club history at 1.70. Johnson will be making his third career start and fourth appearance against Colorado, going 2-0 with a 1.04 ERA. He last faced the Rockies on August 14, 2009 at Sun Life Stadium, earning the win by surrendering just a single run while striking out 11 in a 6-5 win.
Bettors must take notice of the Rockies 14-3 mark in the final game of a four-game set, which fits well with the team's 5-0 record in De La Rosa's last five road starts versus a team with a losing record. The Marlins consistently have problems putting together long winning streaks, going 2-5 in their last seven games following a win. Florida is currently a -215 at Bookmaker.com, as the team has been a -200 to -225 favorite just three times this season (1-2, -300).

Indo-American Chamber of Commerce cites Garg for achievementin medicine
By Lin Lofley
The Greater Dallas Indo-American Chamber of Commerce recently honored Dr. Abhimanyu Garg, chief of nutrition and metabolic diseases and an investigator in the Center for Human Nutrition, with an award for Outstanding Contribution in Medicine.
Dr. Garg, a native of New Delhi and a graduate of the All India Institute of Medical Sciences, was presented with the award by Meera Shankar, India's ambassador to the U.S.
Dr. Abhimanyu Garg met with Indian Ambassador Meera Shankar, who presented him with an award for Outstanding Contribution in Medicine from the Greater Dallas Indo-American Chamber of Commerce.
In nominating Dr. Garg for the award, Dr. J. Gregory Fitz, UT Southwestern executive vice president for academic affairs, provost and dean of the medical school, recounted Dr. Garg's "major contributions to understanding the genetic underpinnings of the role of fat cells in lipodystrophies and other disorders of lipid metabolism."
These disorders are marked by the selective loss of fat tissues, which can result in complications such as diabetes, fatty liver and high levels of fat in the blood. Some of the disorders are inherited, but many people with HIV also develop them as a side effect of medications.
Dr. Garg and his collaborators study how these conditions occur and are developing new therapies to treat them.
Dr. Fitz described his colleague as "an exemplary clinical investigator and a role model for young investigators."
This year is Dr. Garg's 25th at the medical center, in the city he now calls home and at a place he considers a perfect fit for himself.
"When I talk with researchers and students about coming here, I tell them about our school and I tell them about Dallas," said Dr. Garg, who holds the Endowed Chair in Human Nutrition.
"It's such a cosmopolitan city," he said, "and I like the full, distinct seasons that we have here. You're never snowbound, as you might be in the northern states, and you can play tennis outdoors all year round in Dallas. That makes it very similar to New Delhi.
"UT Southwestern is a stimulating place for research. Next door are Dr. Michael Brown and Dr. Joseph Goldstein, who are always willing to give advice and counsel."
Drs. Brown and Goldstein shared the 1985 Nobel Prize for their discovery of the underlying mechanisms of cholesterol metabolism.
Dr. Garg said he knew by the time he was 11 years old that he would be a doctor, even though his father wanted him to become an engineer like his older brother.
"I had already made the decision, partly because I just loved biology," he said. "I was always intrigued by doctors when I was growing up. The other exciting aspect was to help people who were sick and suffering."

For the WTC competition C+S created a memorial which was meant to become part of the fabric of Manhattan - part of the life of future generations, while at the same time giving the families of the victims a place to visit and to remember the loss of their loved ones.
The shrines are a reference to those found in many cultures. One finds them at the side of roads, in the middle of villages or on busy street corners and they give us a chance to remember and honor those we lost through a tragedy - a place to light a candle, to leave a bouquet of flowers or say a prayer.
It was our wish that when we are long gone, these shrines will inspire future generations to remember the tragic events of September 11, 2001 by taking the time to leave a rose or light a candle every year on that September morning.

Behind the Lens With Bruce Lindsay
I live in the UK and specialize in performance photography. I came to jazz after some years photographing musicians in almost every other genre: rock, indie, folk, Americana, metal.
My work has been featured in magazines, on album sleeves and in exhibitions. My photograph of bluesman Robert Belfour was chosen to be part of a Royal Photographic Society International Print Exhibition which toured the UK in 2009-10.
An elderly Nikon D80 SLR camera, usually with a Nikon 85mm 1.8 lens. No flash.
Teachers and/or influences?
My only formal teaching came from a night school class run by a guy called Steve. My dad taught me a few of the basics when I was very young. Mostly, however, I learn from watching and talking to other photographers.
My influences include Elliot Erwitt, especially for the humor in his work; William Claxton, for his amazing photos of the great jazz players of the '60s; Richard Avedon, for his style.
I knew I wanted to be a photographer when...
I gave up playing in bands but still wanted to keep in touch with the scene. I bought a pretty decent camera, went to Steve's evening class and, luckily, met a local promoter who invited me to shoot a few gigs. I enjoyed it, and people were very complimentary about the photos, so I kept on going.
Your approach to photography:
It has to be fun. It's not the way I earn my living, so I do have the luxury of only shooting when I want to.
Although I shoot in color, I almost always convert to black and white. All my exhibition work is black and white; I like the effect and, of course, it's a link with the great photographers of the past.
Your teaching approach/philosophy:
I've never taught photography formally, but I do occasionally get asked for advice about getting started with music photography and I normally give the same advice to everyone. Take lots of pictures, make lots of mistakes, be self-critical, enjoy it.
Your biggest challenge when shooting indoor (or low lighted) events:
Small club, big mosh pit.
When I started out I shot lots of hardcore metal and indie guitar bands. This was almost always in small clubs with no photo pit so I would be at the front surrounded by hordes of moshing teenagers. It was great fun, but no frenzied teen mosher is going to be watching out for a photographer, so I would regularly get slammed into. It teaches you to look after your stuffand it reminds you to leave your ego at home.
Your biggest challenge when shooting outdoor events:
Mud, rain, sunshine, crowds, heat, cold. And I always feel very conspicuous, which makes me uncomfortable. I like small, dark, clubs. I don't like outdoor gigs and I can't remember the last time I shot one.
Favorite venue to shoot:
Norwich Arts Centre. It's where I started: a converted church that still has memorials and tombstones inside. I must know every inch of the place.
Favorite festival to shoot:
It would have to be indoors. Snape Proms is a great onebeautiful hall, and the staff take good care of photographers (which isn't always the case).
Where was your first assignment location?
Norwich Arts Centre. I had fun. Looking back, the photos were pretty awful but I passed them off as being "artistic." I don't think I fooled anyone.
Your favorite musician(s) to photograph:
Drummers. The energy and movement is great. Also, they represent a bit of a challenge as they're usually stuck at the back of the stage. Singers. Because they usually look good and they'll often respond to being photographed, play up to the camera, which is fun.
Did you know...
I've just bought my first old-fashioned film cameraa Pentax Spotmaticin over 30 years. I'm realizing pretty quickly that there are skills I need to relearn.
Your favorite jazz story:
A few years ago I was shooting a gig by T-Model Ford, the blues guitarist. I arrived at the venue to find it covered in posters featuring T-Model's image and a plea to fans not to buy him alcohol. This was a first for me, but explained by the fact that he had recently had major surgery and medical advice was to keep away from the booze. My backstage shots of Mr Ford's Jack Daniels bottle show that the policy failed.

I had been to the range yesterday and since I was out running a few errands this afternoon, I decided to stop at Wal-Mart and restock on some ammunition. Since I was there anyways I thought Id stroll down the aisles and see if there was anything there I just couldnt live without.
As I was walking through the mens department, I noticed this guy. He was printing so obviously, I was surprised there hadnt already been a MWG call. He didnt look like a thug or anything. He just looked like a guy out shopping on a Sunday afternoon. He was wearing jeans with a t-shirt and an un-tucked button-down shirt over it.
The problem was that just standing there I could tell there was an obvious magazine on his belt on one side and a VERY noticeable protrusion on the other side. You could actually see the shape of the grip and slide. Now, I am not usually one to worry about how well I conceal. But this was ridiculous! As I looked a little more closely I could even see the bottom of his OWB holster peeking out of the bottom of his cover shirt. Sloppy! I mean really, if you are going to be that lazy about it, just open carry. Its legal in Michigan. This guy just didnt seem to care about it at all.
I just shook my head in disgust, turned away from the full length mirror, and vowed to take that shirt out of the cover garment rotation.

Background: Beach sand can harbor fecal indicator organisms and pathogens, but enteric illness risk associated with sand contact remains unclear.
Methods: In 2007, visitors at 2 recreational marine beaches were asked on the day of their visit about sand contact. Ten to 12 days later, participants answered questions about health symptoms since the visit. F+ coliphage, Enterococcus, Bacteroidales, fecal Bacteroides, and Clostridium spp. in wet sand were measured using culture and molecular methods.
Results: We analyzed 144 wet sand samples and completed 4999 interviews. Adjusted odds ratios (aORs) were computed, comparing those in the highest tertile of fecal indicator exposure with those who reported no sand contact. Among those digging in sand compared with those not digging in sand, a molecular measure of Enterococcus spp. (calibrator cell equivalents/g) in sand was positively associated with gastrointestinal (GI) illness (aOR = 2.0 [95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.2–3.2]) and diarrhea (2.4 [1.4–4.2]). Among those buried in sand, point estimates were greater for GI illness (3.3 [1.3–7.9]) and diarrhea (4.9 [1.8–13]). Positive associations were also observed for culture-based Enterococcus (colony-forming units/g) with GI illness (aOR digging = 1.7 [1.1–2.7]) and diarrhea (2.1 [1.3–3.4]). Associations were not found among nonswimmers with sand exposure.
Conclusions: We observed a positive relationship between sand-contact activities and enteric illness as a function of concentrations of fecal microbial pollution in beach sand.

A globe-trotter goes nowhere
By Stephanie Merry
Friday, August 10, 2012
It's difficult to make a successful multi-narrative ensemble drama. When the genre works, a collection of small stories adds up to compelling revelations about big, important themes. Just look at "Crash" (an examination of racism), "Traffic" (the drug trade) and "Syriana" (the oil industry). When the approach doesn't come together, it tends to look like "360" (well?).
The globe-trotting movie touts a long list of big names, including "City of God" director Fernando Meirelles, "The Queen" screenwriter Peter Morgan and actors Rachel Weisz, Anthony Hopkins and Jude Law. And though the cinematography looks sleek, with shots through windows and in mirrors, split screens and city lights that blur and sharpen, the stories equate to a tangled mess.
The movie is an adaptation of the roughly 100-year-old play "Reigen," by Arthur Schnitzler. That work features a series of two-character scenes. As if passing the baton, one character from each vignette moves onto the next duet, until the final interaction, which includes a character from the initial scene. "360" doesn't take such a streamlined approach.
The multitudinous tales take place in Colorado, Paris, London and Vienna, among other destinations, and feature the parallel stories of a husband (Law) and wife (Weisz), each of whom is unfaithful; a man (Hopkins) in search of his runaway daughter; a dentist (Jamel Debbouze) enamored of his married employee; and a sex offender (Ben Foster) tentatively leaving prison. Some characters recur; others don't. The common thread, as was the case in "Reigen," appears to be romantic entanglements, though there aren't any deeper messages to be found. There is an overarching emotion, however; nearly every character struggles with fidelity, which translates to an exhausting cynicism.
When the central theme makes a disappearing act from a multi-story motion picture, it can prove problematic, but it isn't necessarily a movie's undoing. Weaving together sampled scenes from life can convey the basics of the human condition, reminding an audience to seize the day because life is fleeting. The crowd-sourced film "Life in a Day" comes to mind.
"360" makes a curious case for this message during an utterly out-of-left field monologue by Hopkins, but after witnessing an endless parade of solipsistic relationships, the advice feels disingenuous. Few of the scenes give insight into the characters, which makes it difficult to care about their outcomes. Worse, a few stories feel wholly implausible. The subplot involving the struggling sex offender is a prime example. Even though he looks overtly scary and comes across as rude, a lovely young Brazilian woman practically throws herself at him upon their chance introduction. The moment feels designed to create suspense, but the effect is more annoyingly manufactured than genuinely tense.
If nothing else, the movie reminds filmgoers just how difficult it can be to pull off the multi-thread approach. Sometimes it's possible to take a spool of yarn and, with care and consistency, knit a stunning creation. "360" looks more like what happens when a cat gets ahold of the ball.
Contains sexuality, nudity and language. In English, French, Russian, German, Portuguese and Arabic with English subtitles.

Skip to comments.FOX NEWS HOST BILL O'REILLY DECLARES 'WAR' ON GEORGE CLOONEY
Posted on 01/21/2003 11:19:54 PM PST by ewing
Get in on it!
Fox News Bill O Reilly has declared war on actor/director George Clooney over the latters sarcastic remark about Charlton Heston and his suffering from Alzheimers.
The broadcaster compared the popular Clooney to Michael Jackson and Woody Allen.
O Reilly said he was certain that George's career would be negatively effected.
(Excerpt) Read more at pagesix.com ...
FreeRepublic , LLC
As a matter of fact, Clooney never progressed.
"Pray for the last man alive. Because he's not alone."
Of course he'll strike back from the safety of hiding behind his agent's skirt, lacking backbone and all.
Go for it O'Reilly, he's earned whatever you can dump on him.
Will Looney Clooney strike back?
BEAUTIFUL!!! Let's see, that could also apply to Clintons, McAwful, all RATS, all Hollyweirds, NYSlimes editors and reporters, ABCNBCCBSCNNMSNBC............. the list goes on and on!!
BUMPS for NRA President Heston (My other president!)
Sorry, but this picture is more than I can take at this hour of the morning; looks like she'd like to crawl under his big desk! Ewwww....
Normally, I would advise Bill not to "enter a battle of wits with an unarmed man," but Clooney the Clown needs a little "cutting down to size."
BTW, yes, Omega Man was great, but it should be noted that it was a remake of a movie starring the late great Vincent Price called "The Last Man on Earth."
O Brother, you can say that again.
Movies are movies, actors are actors, and why do they even have the opportunity to make these statements. Why do we have to suffer their ignorance, and be expected to regard their personal opinions as pertinent?
I detest Baba Striesand, Alec Baldwin, Meryl Steep, Julia Roberts (the list goes on and on), yet I have no problem watching the movies they have made.
It's like the Southern Baptists wanting all to boycott Disneyland; well if you boycott one company/product, where do you draw the line. You could probably come up with a reason to boycott most companies/products.
BTW...have you seen this movie? Clooney is great in this!
And he looks pretty sickened by the thought. What does that say about ol' Babs-the Toon isn't known for being too selective.

Shariah Index Project
What is the right balance between the institutions of religious and political authority in the modern state? Should religion and governance be legally separated, or is there a way to integrate the two? What is meant by religious law, and can it be implemented without endangering basic human rights? The Shariah Index Project seeks to answer these questions in the context of present-day Muslim society.
Although a large number of political movements support Islamic governance, and several states claim Islam as the basis of their legitimacy, no widely-held definition of a modern Islamic state exists, either in principle or in practice. This absence led the Cordoba Initiative to convene a broad-based panel of Muslim scholars, tasked with generating a consensus on the essential principles of Islamic governance.
The ensuing agreement is the springboard for the Shariah Index Project, which brings together a high-level network of international government officials, university professors, and Islamic legal scholars whose ideas on the basis of good governance within an Islamic context are setting the standard for the modern Islamic state.
The Shariah Index Project (SIP) defines and indexes the modern Islamic state using quantifiable and measurable benchmarks, enumerating Islamic principles of good governance – particularly regarding the preservation of life, intellect, property, dignity, religion, and family. SIP seeks to reframe the discourse on a wide range of issues, including:
Across the political landscape in the Middle East, Africa, and Asia, various grassroots movements and political campaigns are currently rethinking the ways of integrating Shariah into the modern nation state. At the same time, extremist Muslim groups have seized upon the ideas of Islamic governance and the Islamic state, insisting that the highest priority for the Islamic state should be the enforcement of a strict Islamic criminal code, known in Arabic as hudud punishments. This recent and ahistorical interpretation of the "Islamic state" disregards fundamental rights long recognized by both Islam and international law as guaranteed to all citizens. This conception of Islamic governance, especially threatening to women and religious minorities, is Islamic in name only, holding neither a clear commitment to the spirit of Islam nor an understanding of the essential values the laws uphold.
For too long, sloganeering has mischaracterized the nature of Islamic governance. In SIP, the Cordoba Initiative has developed a structure and a tool for defining and measuring Islamic governance in accordance with both the timeless values of Islamic law and the exigencies of the present day.
The Shariah Index Project proposes a quantifiable and measurable model for the modern Islamic state, rooted in characteristics derived from the Shariah. By establishing consensus-based, easily observable principles of Islamic good governance, SIP will play a central role in the negotiations between religious and secular political parties in the Muslim world, contributing to the international dialogue on a state's responsibility to its citizens, regardless of religion or ideology. After over five years of work, SIP's global team of Islamic legal scholars has achieved a remarkable consensus that defines metrics to rate the Islamic state. The eminent politicians and religious leaders who are involved with this program have created a groundbreaking methodology and benchmarking system that will both index and measure a state's compliance with the principles of Islamic good governance. These innovative tools will allow SIP to recapture the debate on Islamic states, adding substance to contemporary theories of the integration of Islam with governance.
The SIP index will be used as the basis for an innovative rating system – the first of its kind in the world – that will measure Shariah compliance in contemporary contexts. This index will:
The project has given rise to the forthcoming Shariah Index Project book, which includes an extended scholastic deliberation on the nature of Islamic governance and the process of Islamic state indexing. In addition, the Cordoba Initiative will introduce the State of the Muslim World Annual Index. The Index will offer Muslim governments and citizens a measurement that shows how well their nations comply with Islamic legal benchmarks found to be fundamental to Islamic governance.
The Cordoba Initiative will publicly release the SIP book and first annual index in 2012.

William Jenkyn, English Puritan (1612 - January 19, 1685), was one of many brilliant lights during the Puritan era. He was married to the granddaughter of John Rogers, another famous martyr for Christ.
He wrote a large and highly-regarded commentary on Jude; preached funeral sermons for Lazarus Seaman and Thomas Gouge; and, among other works, published three sermons in the Morning Exercises: Now is the Time; or, Instructions for the present Improving the Season of Grace, How we ought to bewail the Sins of the Places where we live?, and No Sin is in its own Nature venial; but every Sin is deadly, and deserves eternal Damnation. He was also a signer of the Commendatory Epistle to the Westminster Confession.
He spent time imprisoned in the Tower of London for Christopher Love's "Plot," was ejected in 1662, and died in Newgate Prison after months of confinement for the cause of Christ. His last arrest was notable in that he with praying with John Flavel and others when the king's men came to arrest them and while Flavel, et al. escaped, Jenkyn was caught because he would not step on a lady's dress on the staircase which was their only exit.
Some of his famous sayings:
"Grace is not native but donative."
"Praise shall conclude that work which prayer began."
"As the wicked are hurt by the best things, so the godly are bettered by the worst things."

How to Thread a Needle Step by Step
Added Mar 10, 2011

Newaygo, Michiga...
Step 1
You need thread, obviously, but what type of thread?
There are countless brands, weights, and fibers available, but most fabrics can be sewn with a 100% polyester, polyester/cotton, or 100% cotton thread. These threads can be used for both hand sewing and machine sewing. One brand I recommend is Coat's Dual Duty Plus All Purpose.

(WHO) At least one man was seriously hurt overnight when a celebration at Iowa State University got out of control.
Crowds flipped cars, pulled down light poles and removed stop signs.
It started around 11:30 Tuesday night when two large groups converged. People threw objects at officers attempting to break up the crowd, according to Commander Geoff Huff of the Ames Police Department.
"We're not sure what started it at this point," Huff said.
One person was injured when he was struck in the head with a falling light pole.
