Alonso leads Padres past Royals 8-5
Associated Press | Last updated March 18, 2012
San Diego Padres rookie first baseman Yonder Alonso feels as if he is just starting to get comfortable at the plate. The Padres hope Saturday's performance is a sign of things to come. Alonso hit a three-run double in the first inning and singled as the Padres topped the Kansas City Royals 8-5. Alonso is one of four players the Padres received in a Dec. 17 deal that sent pitcher Mat Latos to the Cincinnati Reds. Alonso thinks he is seeing the ball better and his timing has improved. ''Every day feels better,'' Alonso said. ''I'm just trying to lock in with the guys. It's time to go. It's time to roll.'' Manager Bud Black thinks the Padres will see improvement from Alonso shortly. Alonso is hitting .286 with seven RBIs through his first 35 at-bats this spring. Black liked Alonso's approach against Royals pitcher Bruce Chen in the first inning when he lined a first-pitch changeup off the right-field fence to give the Padres a 3-0 lead. ''That was good aggressiveness,'' Black said. ''We've seen him hit it off the right-field wall, the left-field wall and the center-field wall. His spring average is not what we thought it would be, but we're not concerned.'' Chen's spring ERA is not where he'd like it to be. Chen said his arm feels good and pointed to his 66 pitches thrown as evidence. But how Chen felt didn't keep him from getting hit hard for a second time in three outings this spring, an outing that saw his ERA increase from 9.64 to 11.74. Chen, who was 12-8 with a 3.77 ERA in 25 starts for the Royals last season and figures to be among the team's top three starting pitchers in 2012, allowed five runs and eight hits in three innings. He also struck out two. The left-hander said he adjusted well after he allowed five runs in the first inning. Chen allowed three hits in his final two innings, but stranded two runners on third base. ''My arm feels great, my stamina feels good, I have no pain in my arm,'' Chen said. ''I feel very strong. Right now I'm not making pitches. So I only have to work on keeping the ball down and making better pitches. But everything else is there.'' Padres starter Cory Luebke thought he did a better job of keeping the ball down, and for the most part he did. Luebke and Padres pitching coach Darren Balsley made an adjustment in a bullpen session two days earlier. While he did leave one pitch up in the zone that Kansas City's Alex Gordon blasted for a 410-foot single, Luebke felt good otherwise. He allowed a pair of runs, six hits and struck out four in four innings. ''Most of the balls up in the zone were intended to be up,'' Luebke said. ''Out of the stretch is where we wanted to keep the ball down and we did it. It was an easy fix.'' Right fielder Jeff Francouer went 2 for 3 and designated hitter Billy Butler had an RBI single for the Royals. Cameron Maybin doubled and walked for the Padres in four trips to the plate. Will Venable went 1 for 4 with a run scored for San Diego. Huston Street and Andrew Cashner pitched scoreless innings for the Padres. NOTES: The Padres said they have rescheduled Sunday's split-squad game against the Colorado Rockies in Tucson for Thursday afternoon. ... Padres C Nick Hundley missed his third straight game with a sore right side, manager Bud Black said. Hundley said the Padres are just being cautious and the injury isn't severe. Hundley, who missed a month last season with a right oblique strain, expects to return Tuesday. ... Padres 2B Orlando Hudson (groin strain) resumed baseball activity on Saturday and could return to the lineup in the middle of the week, Black said. Hudson was scratched from Thursday's lineup and hasn't played since Tuesday.

I recently bought my first cycle of testosterone and dbol and have a few questions since I am new to this. I bought 1cc of test and 25 pink pills of dbol with a test booster of Cryotest and post workout Analbolic Halo and I also been taking Nitrix for the past month. Is this a good combination to start out with??
My initial thoughts were to take 200-250 test a week and only 2 dbol tablets the day I workout, one in morning and one before my workout with taking the booster daily along with the nitrix. My body tends to react different to meds so I thought I would start slow to see how I feel. Also I am prescribed Adderall by my physician and was wondering will that effect me in anyway?
Any thoughts and opinions would be great. Thanks!!

Shrimp Salad in Fan-Tailed Avocados with Dijon Mustard Vinaigrette
- 1 (3-ounce) package Shrimp and Crab Boil in a bag, or seasoning
- 1 lemon, halved
- Salt
- 1 1/4 pounds medium shrimp
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon minced shallots
- 1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley leaves
- 1/4 teaspoon minced garlic
- Pinch cayenne
- 1/2 cup finely chopped celery
- 3 small Hass avocados
- 1 large cucumber
- 6 ounces mixed lettuces, washed and spun dry, refrigerated in an airtight container until ready to use
- Dijon Mustard Vinaigrette, recipe follows
- Chopped chives, garnish
- Dijon Mustard Vinaigrette:
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 2 teaspoons minced shallots, optional
- 2 teaspoons white wine vinegar or Champagne vinegar
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil or olive oil
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- Pinch salt
Bring a medium pot of water to a boil with the crab boil bag, the halved lemon, and 1 teaspoon salt. Let boil for 5 minutes. Add the shrimp and cook at a low boil until pink, 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and let sit in the water for 3 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold running water. Drain.
When the shrimp are cool enough to handle, peel and discard the shells and heads. Using a paring knife, make a shallow slit down the center of the back of each shrimp and remove the black-gray vein. Refrigerate the shrimp until well chilled, 2 hours.
In a medium bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon of the lemon juice, the mustard, shallots, parsley, garlic, cayenne, and a pinch of salt. Fold in the shrimp and celery and mix to coat. Adjust the seasoning, to taste. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve. (The salad can be refrigerated for up to 1 day.)
Cut each avocado in half lengthwise and remove the seed and peel. Rub each on all sides lightly with the remaining 1 tablespoon lemon juice to prevent discoloration. Place each avocado cut side down and with a knife, cut 5 or 6 thin lengthwise slices, leaving about 1 inch at the stem end uncut. Gently press down on the avocado to separate the slices and form a fan.
Peel the cucumber and cut in half lengthwise. Run a teaspoon down the cut sides of the cucumber to scrape away the seeds. Cut each half in half horizontally, and then cut each into spears.
In a large bowl, toss the lettuces with enough dressing to lightly coat, 3 to 4 tablespoons. Adjust the seasoning, to taste, with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
Divide the lettuces among 6 large salad plates and place a fan-tailed avocado in the center of each plate, hollow side up. Arrange a portion of the shrimp salad in each avocado and decoratively arrange the cucumber spears around the plate. Drizzle, if desired, with the remaining vinaigrette and garnish with chopped chives.
Serve immediately.
In a small bowl, whisk together the mustard, shallots if using, and vinegar. In a slow, steady stream, whisking constantly, drizzle in the vegetable oil, to form an emulsion. Whisking, slowly add the extra virgin olive oil. Add the salt and adjust the seasoning to taste.
Use immediately.

My Beautiful Babies, submitted by Chris P. Crittaz. One of the most disturbing trends on the Internet is the DBW or "Dead Baby Website". People naturally become emotionally invested in their brewing fetuses and when they are born without a pulse these people often go a little crazy and decide to start a DBW. These sites range from simple "my poor dead babies are in heaven now with the angels and Jesus" type of site, to the more profoundly disturbing sites featuring pictures of the dead babies and a bizarre menagerie of junk purchased to fill in for the dead babies. Try to guess which category this difficult-to-read site falls into.
Your first Christmas we bought two angels to go on our tree,
Your second Christmas we bought two angel snow globes and two angel bears. Every year we will get something special because of you both.
"My mom started collecting Beanie Babies about two years after she died."
Folks, your dead babies don't give a shit about Christmas, they don't care about the stacks of crap you buy and pile around them. If they're really in heaven they're probably off enjoying how totally awesome heaven is, not trying to substitute their lives not lived with a bunch of crap they buy at a Hallmark store.
The Remains of Bidet (James Ivory, 1993)
We might find we have more in common than we think if we just stop fighting long enough to combine our bodies into a singular organism.
A contest to guess a Pokémon engenders awe-inspiring art!
A holy trainwreck of product placement, bland romance, and incredible gluttony!
Ever wanted to just cram a burger into a stranger's mouth?
Awful Links of the Day spotlights the worst and weirdest websites on the internet. And we're not talking "weird" in a good way either.

Remember that time in college when your best friend was convinced he was going to hook up with the hottest girl in your dorm?
You knew he had no shot and when he failed you quietly said to yourself, "Saw that one comin'."
Or how about the time your friend gave $50 to a homeless guy in exchange for beer? But to ensure the guy returned, your friend held the homeless guy's Walkman for collateral.
That never happened to you? Well after the homeless guy took the money, never came back with the beer, and your friend stood there with an old Walkman, you would have said to yourself, "Saw that one comin' too."
Those were easy calls and no one other than you really remembers them.
But the bold calls? Well those are something that stick with you.
I still remember a kid telling me that the New York Giants were going to beat the Patriots in Super Bowl XLII. He was so convinced that he bet the Giants on the money-line and he won a nice chunk of change.
Every time that guy walks into a room, he gets the kind of greeting shown in the picture above. It's a celebration of epic proportions. That's what happens when you step out on a limb and you're right.
The next five predictions start off with a hint of bold and finish with enough boldness to make you think I'm a walking, talking idiot.

Read an Excerpt
Chapter One
First sentences are doors to worlds. -Ursula K. Le Guin
New writers oftne find beginnings difficultwhether they're starting a story or a novelbecause they take the word "beginning" too literally. They cast around for the "beginning" of a storyforgetting that beginnings rarely have the necessary ingredients for trouble, for conflict, or for complication. Your story can begin with dialogue, narrative summary, description, whatever, but it must begin in medias res, in the middle of things. You must resist the temptation to give the reader too lengthy an explanation as to how things got to this point. Remember, you are trying to hook the reader's attention, to pull the reader into your story so that he won't wonder, What's on television tonight?
Another stumbling block to beginning a story is that new writers think they have to know where their story is going and how it will endbefore they begin. Not true. Flannery O'Connor says, "If you start with a real personality, a real character, then something is bound to happen; and you don't have to know what before you begin. In fact, it may be better if you don't know what before you begin. You ought to be able to discover something from your stories. If you don't, probably nobody else will."
The following exercises are designed to encourage you to think about real characters who are involved in situations that are already under waysituations that are starting to unravel because of, or in spite of, the desires and actions of their beleaguered characters. Don't worry about middles or endings yet. Just give yourself over to settingstories in motionyou will soon know which stories capture your imagination and seem unstoppable, which stories demand to be finished. Till that time, begin and begin and begin.

Cauliflower and Horseradish Cakes for Passover
1 head of cauliflower
6 T. horseradish (original recipe says 2 T., but I kept adding more because it wasn't strong enough for me, so add however much you like!)
1 cup cake meal
3 egg whites
6 scallions, finely chopped (I kept adding more until the batter was evenly scattered with green)
Cut cauliflower into sections. Place a few sections in a microwave-safe bowl, fill halfway with water and microwave about 10 minutes until soft. Repeat with all of the cauliflower until the whole head is steamed. Put the head through a food processor, sections at a time, until cauliflower resembles a fluffy consistency. Put processed cauliflower in a large bowl. Add horseradish, cake meal, egg whites and scallions. Mix together. Add more scallions as desired; add more cake meal if the batter is moist. The mixture should resemble mashed potatoes. Heat a pan with olive oil. Form batter into small patty shapes and drop in hot oil. Fry on each side for about four minutes, until lightly browned. Place paper towels over a baking rack. Scoop patties onto paper towel to absorb excess oil. Serve with more horseradish if desired.
For Passover, I try to eat foods that don't necessarily contain Passover ingredients, such as matzah. The cake meal in my patties is a Passover ingredient, but it doesn't taste like most Passover foods taste. I try to eat a lot of eggs and yogurt, rather than fill up on matzah and matzah products. It's also good motivation for me to eat more fruits and vegetables. I think I'll make a frittata and a big salad for lunches during Passover. My mom makes Passover blueberry muffins, blintz muffins and rolls. The rolls are great when I'm craving a slice of bread. Passover is the one time a year I buy cream cheese, for no particular reason. I have nothing against cream cheese, I just never buy it. But on Passover, Temp Tee whipped cream cheese is my favorite!

It is becoming clearer by the day how badly President Barack Obama misplayed his cards in August 2011 when he paid a political ransom in return for Republican legislators agreeing to increase the debt ceiling. The GOP leadership brought the country to the brink of default to get what they wanted and the president caved.
The resulting Budget Control Act of 2011 mandated that if Congress could not figure out a way to trim the deficit by $1.2 trillion, then cuts equaling that amount would take place automatically over a 10-year period, beginning this year. And rather than addressing the deficit challenge with surgical spending reductions and changes in tax policy, the automatic "sequestration" cuts would take place evenly across agencies and programs, cutting the necessary and the wasteful alike.
President Obama calculated this would put the problem off until after the election. It did. The administration also bet on a post-election change in attitude that would lead Republicans to compromise on a combination of taxes and spending reductions to avoid the draconian cuts. But they didn't budge, and why should they?
The Republican congressional leadership is getting what it wants, cuts in government spending, $85 billion this fiscal year, with the added luxury of saddling the president with the political fallout from the most unpopular of cuts. Take, for example, the current public outrage about flight delays caused by the furloughing of air traffic controllers to meet sequestration mandates. The furloughs and delays do not result from sequestration, say House Speaker John Boehner and Majority Leader Eric Cantor, they result from the administration's inability to cut waste, eliminate consultants and manage a budget.
Not only that, say Mr. Boehner and Mr. Cantor, it is the president playing politics - causing the flight delays to pressure Congress to back off the sequestration cuts.
Well, if the administration is playing politics, it is not playing well. As any mayor knows, the City Council may cut funding for garbage pickup, but taxpayers will blame the mayor when trash piles up on sidewalks. Likewise the anger of air travelers will focus on the president and his administration if they can't get around sequestration and fix it.
This is what President Obama's appeasement has wrought.

Academic activity – learning, teaching, writing, and research – is based on academic freedom: the freedom to think, to teach, and to express different ideas, even when these are highly unpopular. There can be no academia without these freedoms; no free thought; no science of philosophy; and no Nobel prizes. The essence of academic research, and the key to scientific progress, is the ability to cast doubts and to challenge basic assumptions. This is one reason why innovative scientific ideas sometimes arouse opposition and criticism, but it also explains why it is so important to allow these ideas to be expressed.
Academic activity – learning, teaching, writing, and research – is based on academic freedom: the freedom to think, to teach, and to express different ideas, even when these are highly unpopular. There can be no academia without these freedoms; no free thought; no science of philosophy; and no Nobel prizes. The essence of academic research, and the key to scientific progress, is the ability to cast doubts and to challenge basic assumptions. This is one reason why innovative scientific ideas sometimes arouse opposition and criticism, but it also explains why it is so important to allow these ideas to be expressed.
Academics have always expressed views that many people find unpleasant, to put it mildly. Over the past year, however, the academic freedom of lecturers and educators has been subject to a concerted attack by public officials and political organizations.
In August 2009, Dr. Niv Gordon, head of the Department of Politics and Government at Ben Gurion University, published an opinion piece in the Los Angeles Times. In the article, Dr. Gordon urged the international community to impose a boycott on Israel in order to pressurize it to end the occupation. Other academics agree with this position. In protest at the article, the Israeli consul general in Los Angeles wrote a fiercely-worded letter to the president of Ben Gurion University. The university joined the voices of condemnation, arguing that Dr. Gordon had overstepped the boundaries of academic freedom.
Since then, it seems that a floodgate has opened allowing attacks on the freedom of expression of educators in general, and academics in particular. Minister Moshe "Bogie" Ya'alon recently attacked academics who expressed views that diverge from his own, accusing them of joining a campaign against the State of Israel. The education minister himself joined the attack, announcing that he would take action against lecturers who advocate an academic boycott of Israel. In response, 542 lecturers signed a petition in June warning the education minister not to attack their academic freedom or that of their colleagues. "In order for the higher education system in Israel to be high-quality and decent," the petition explained, "it should include the expression of opinions that not everyone finds pleasant; it should present social and political criticism; and it should maintain critical and even controversial research and teaching." The education minister does not seem to have been convinced by these arguments.
An article published in December 2009 in the newspaper Ha'ir1 described the activities of an organization called Israel Academia Monitor, which presents a monthly report to the board of governors of the various universities detailing the activities of "academics who want to destroy the State of Israel." The organization's website explains that this epithet refers to "academics who call for a boycott of Israel at international conferences, or academics who collaborate with pro-Arab organizations such as Adalah and B'Tselem." Academics interviewed for the article described an atmosphere of silencing and persecution.
At the end of 2009, the State Prosecutor's Office asked Dr. David Bukai to retract statements he allegedly made against Arabs, and to sign a statement undertaking not to make such comments in the future. However, Dr. Bukai denies making such comments, and it has never been proved that he did so. In another incident, Ben Gurion University recently took swift action to remove a lecturer who expressed opinions against homosexuals. Although his comments were offensive, the Association for Civil Rights in Israel supported the lecturer, arguing that academic freedom includes the freedom to make outrageous comments, particularly when these are confined to the expression of an opinion. The teaching committee may require the lecturer to clarify that this is his personal view, and it should certainly ensure that the lecturer does not mislead the students regarding current research and ethical approaches. However, there are no grounds for dismissing the lecturer.
The attack on academic freedom has also reached the Knesset Education Committee. Following a report prepared by the Im Tirtzu movement, the committee held a discussion on the subject of "the displacement of Zionist opinions in academia." The members of the organization enjoyed ample time to present their position at the discussion, while participants who sought to present different views were given almost no opportunity to do so. The participants did not have an opportunity to read the report before the meeting of the committee. During the discussion, the speakers attacked the content of studies in institutions of higher education, and suggested that the inspection of lecturers should be intensified. Following the discussion and the report, the education minister announced that he would investigate the movement's claims about lecturers' opinions and the content of studies. The Institute for Zionist Strategy (which attacked civic studies in schools, as described above) intends to publish a report claiming that there is a "post-Zionist bias" in the sociology departments in Israeli universities. As in the case of the report by Im Tirtzu, the content of university studies were not examined in accordance with academic criteria,2 such as the quality, innovation, or originality of research, but rather on the basis of political criteria. In other words, an organization with a clear political agenda is seeking restrict the academic freedom of researchers whose positions are inconsistent with those it seeks to promote.
The attack on academic freedom reached a new peak with the threat by the Im Tirtzu movement to the president of Ben Gurion University. Im Tirtzu stated that it would work to halt donations to the university unless the university corrects the "anti-Zionist bias" in the composition of the faculty and the content of the syllabuses in the university's Department of Politics and Government. The president of the university was not intimidated by the attack, and the heads of the institutions of higher education were quick to support her position. The gross attempt by Im Tirtzu to impose its political agenda on academic content is particularly alarming given the possible contacts between this movement and the establishment. For example, the Calcalist website revealed that Im Tirtzu receives most of its funding through the Jewish Agency for Israel. The president of Tel Aviv University commented in Ha'aretz on "the open door Im Tirtzu activists enjoy to the political echelon in Israel."
The freedom of expression of students has also been impaired. In one case, the management of Haifa University, with the support of the student union, prohibited a group of students from holding a demonstration to mark the first anniversary of Operation Cast Lead. In a similar case, Haifa University prohibited a demonstration against the events surrounding the flotilla from Turkey to the Gaza Strip. In a third instance, the NRG-Maariv website alleged that Tel Aviv University prevented a reporter from a regional radio station in Judea and Samaria from covering a conference on the subject of the Nakba.
At a recent meeting with human rights organizations, including ACRI, Arab students at Haifa University raised complaints regarding the university's policy toward their political and social activities. The students claim that, in most cases, they cannot receive authorization for their activities (such as demonstrations, lecturers, setting up a stall, or distributing leaflets). When authorizations are given, they are often withdrawn at the last moment, sometimes without any explanation and sometimes on spurious grounds. The students also claim that demonstrations are occasionally dispersed by force and the student organizers are summonsed to a disciplinary committee. In response to letters sent to Haifa University by Adalah in recent months concerning the students' freedom of expression, the university claims that public activities are secondary to its primary goals, which are teaching and research. The university argues that it permits extensive public activities on the campus, subject to its laws and procedures.
Last June, the Knesset Education Committee discussed the subject of the freedom of expression of school teachers. The speakers at the meeting, on the subject of the boundaries of freedom of expression of educators, included the principal of Herzliya Gymnasium, Dr. Zeev Dagani, who criticized visits to schools by army officers as part of the program to encourage recruitment to combat units. Another guest was Ram Cohen, principal of Ironi Aleph School in Tel Aviv, who discussed the subject of the occupation with his students; Cohen was criticized by senior Ministry of Education officials and summonsed to a clarifying meeting. Freedom of expression in educational institutions is a serious issue and worthy of discussion. However, the fact that these two principals alone were "invited" to the meeting suggests that an effort was being made to delegitimize specific political and social views. By way of example, the Knesset Education Committee does not seem to have any problem with events marking "Gush Katif Day" in schools, which reflect clear political opinions with the approval of the ministry.
The cases described above create grave concern that views are being silenced and the academic freedom of teachers and lecturers is coming under attack. This freedom is a vital condition for higher education in a democracy. According to reports in Ha'aretz, even the Ministry of Education itself recently noted that "there is no willingness today to listen to opinions that deviate from the official line," and that "some officials are afraid to express their opinion and fall into line with the instructions of senior ministry officials, in order to survive."
In March, Sa'ar was the keynote speaker at the conference of Im Tirtzu, a movement that uses aggressive and antidemocratic means in order to delegitimize any position that diverges from its own particular Zionist narrative. "I am a strong admirer of your activities," the minister told the participants at the conference. "I think that together with other groups who are working with young age groups, this gives grounds for much hope (…) it is certainly particularly vital on our campuses."
As a politician, Sa'ar certainly has both the right and the obligation to express his opinions. However, there is something distasteful, at the very least, about his sweeping support for a body such as Im Tirtzu, which recently declared war against human rights organizations and is systematically seeking to delegitimize them. Such a position is completely contrary to the values of pluralism, diverse views, and freedom of expression.

The finals have been set! Last week's semifinal showdowns had plenty of action. Some teams beat up on others, while some came down to the final seconds. It's been fun so far this season to see how far players have come and which teams lived up to expectations. We will look at every team who is playing in the finals later, but right now, we are going to examine the games from last week. If you are so inclined, the football finals at Ford Field are a lot of fun, so head on down for a game or for the day. It's blast to see these kids playing for what might be the biggest prize of their life (so far.) Now, onto the results!
Detroit Catholic Central 35 Rockford 6
It was a tough loss for Rockford. They had closed the gap to 7-6 in the second quarter. On the ensuing kickoff, Jon Malone flew down the field 82 yards for a kick return touchdown and deflated the Ram fans. Rockford coach Ralph Munger said, "They were on their 'A' game and obviously we struggled right from the very beginning…they were significantly more physical than we were and that certainly doesn't help.â€Â For DCC, quarterback Garrett Moores completed four of his ten passes for 100 yards and a score. Malone caught three of those passes for 78 yards and the score. Running back David Houle rushed 19 times for 76 yards and a score. Anthony Darkangelo toted the rock 12 times for 54 yards. Wyatt Shallman and Zach Bock each chipped in touchdowns in the second half. For Rockford, quarterback Kyle Short completed 11 of his 19 passes for 120 yards. Scott Kaule ran 13 times for 74 yards and scored his team's lone touchdown. Connor Darby ran 11 times for 19 yards. Ryan Donley caught three passes for 38 yards. Detroit Catholic Central will play Detroit Cass Tech in a rematch of last year's state title game.
Ishpeming 8 Pewamo-Westphalia 7
Talk about a close game! P-W struck first in the game. Quarterback Kyle Nurenberg threw a pass that bounced off of an Ishpeming player and into the hands of Lane Simon who raced 94 yards for a score. The Hematites struck back in the third quarter when Eric Kostreva ran the ball in from 10 yards out and Alex Briones scored the two point conversion. With only five minutes left to play, P-W was threatening again at the Ishpeming six yard line, but Briones intercepted the pass. Kostreva ran 21 times for 93 yards to lead Ishpeming in rushing. The team ran for 159 of their 198 yards. For P-W, Nurenberg completed six of his 15 passes for 166 yards and a score, all to Lane Simon. Jered Myszak gained 26 yards on 10 attempts to lead P-W in rushing. Ishpeming plays Detroit Loyola on Saturday morning.
Deckerville 14 Bellaire 12 (8 Man Final)
It was all about the stops on Friday night. Deckerville came up with four huge stops that allowed them to win the game. The last stop was at their four yard line with the last few seconds ticking off the clock. Bellaire gave them a run for their money when they recovered an onside kick with 49 seconds left and got the ball down to the Deckerville four, but it just didn't happen for Bellaire. Deckerville quarterback Nick Pagel didn't complete any of his passes, but did run for 53 yards on 15 attempts. Chris Wolfe led the rushing attack with 108 yards and a score on 20 runs. Ryan Stone punched in the other touchdown run form 23 yards away. For Bellaire, they moved the ball all night but couldn't find the end zone. Quarterback Zach Smith completed six of his 10 passes for 117 yards and a score while also running 11 times for 116 yards and the other score. Chase Small led the rushing attack with 14 carries for 149 yards. Wes Villafane caught three balls for 93 yards, which included a 52 yard scoring strike late in the fourth quarter. This is Deckerville's first year playing 8 man football and first state title.
Birmingham Brother Rice 31 Wyandotte Roosevelt 3
We talked in the preview about coaching LEGEND Al Fracassa. I could go on and on about the guy, but we are here to talk about his team's latest win, so let's do that instead. I'll gush about him later this week when I post the football finals preview. The game was never in doubt and Brother Rice just had the better day. Running back Brian Walker got 159 all-purpose yards and scored a touchdown. He also returned a kickoff 63 yards to set up a field goal at the end of the first half. Shon Powell ran for 105 yards and scored once. Quarterbacks Lacanaria and Malzone combined to throw for 59 yards and each threw for a touchdown. Christopher Carter made 13 tackles on defense. For Wyandotte Roosevelt, quarterback Kevin Matejko completed 12 of his 25 passes for 117 yards. Running back D'Aries Davis ran the ball 10 times for 35 yards. Damon Singleton made 12 tackles on defense. Brother Rice will play Muskegon for the state title this week. Talk about two of the major programs in the state squaring off!

So in a sense they are almost negative calories? It doesnt seem logical to me but im just wondering what everyone else says about this.

Why Did the Chicken Make You Sick?
A Bug In The System Late one night in September of 2013, Rick Schiller awoke in bed with his right leg throbbing. Schiller, who is in his fifties, lives in San Jose, California. He had been feeling ill all week, and, as he reached under the covers, he found his leg hot to the touch. He struggled to sit upright, then turned on a light and pulled back the sheet. "My leg was about twice the normal size, maybe even three times," he told me. "And it was hard as a rock, and bright purple." (From The New Yorker. Warning: terrible in almost every way.)

The Annotated Jagger/Bowie "Dancing in the Street"
...there's some desperation to this junk version of "Dancing in the Street," with both parties trying to affirm their A-1 celebrity status. One of the more pernicious effects of the whole Live Aid/Farm Aid/Band Aid spectacle was to cement the hierarchy of the "legend" rock acts and a smaller tier of anointed successors from the slightly-younger generation (Tom Petty, Sting, Dire Straits, U2). It was the height of the Boomer Counter-Reformation. The late Eighties would see the over-publicized returns of everyone from Steve Winwood to the Monkees to Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young, to a revamped George Harrison to a MOR version of Pink Floyd to Robbie Robertson pretending that he was Peter Gabriel (a version of Gabriel who couldn't sing) to an all-star Yes and a Zeppelin-sampling Robert Plant, culminating in the return of the "revitalized" Stones in 1989, the touring company now reincorporated into a gleaming multinational. As Marcello Carlin said back when Popular covered this single: "Suddenly we were once again reminded who in pop and rock mattered and who didn't…With their massacre of "Dancing In The Street," Bowie and Jagger seemed to relish rubbing it in."-The Annotated Jagger/Bowie "Dancing in the Street"

"People don't want to know the Marlboro Man has PTSD"
It was an instant icon, with Dan Rather calling it "the best war photograph in recent years." About 100 newspapers ran the photo, dubbing the anonymous warrior the "Marlboro Man." The photograph hit the world on Nov. 10, 2004: a close-cropped shot of a U.S. Marine in Iraq, his face smeared with blood and dirt, a cigarette dangling from his lips, smoke curling across weary eyes. He's quieter now -- easier to anger. He turns to fight at the sound of a backfire, can't look at fireworks without thinking of fire raining down on a city. He has trouble sleeping, and when he does, his fingers twitch on invisible triggers. The diagnosis: post-traumatic stress disorder. The man in the photograph is James Blake Miller, now 21, and he is an icon, although in ways Rather probably never imagined.

Sneak peek: Selena Gomez's new video laced with sex appeal
From her risque role in the recent Spring Breakers to new photos surfacing for the video for her new single "Come and Get It," (above) Selena Gomez certainly is trying her best to shed her Disney Channel persona.
The video features Gomez frolicking through nature and performing super-sexy dance numbers. The Daily Mail is reporting that during part of the video, Gomez is topless (but shielded by water).
Gomez recently made headlines after performing the Bollywood-inspired "Come and Get It" at the MTV Movie Awards. Dressed in an Indian-inspired costume and wearing a bindi — which is a Hindu religious adornment — on her forehead, Gomez garnered backlash from Hindu leaders. One criticized Gomez, saying she needed to "get acquainted with the basics of world religions."
In an interview with New York's Z100 Gomez said she's been learning a lot of her "chakra and bindis and the culture…It's beautiful."

Euthanasia has been an extensive and hot topic for discussion in the basis of morality and health care services First we must have a clear concept on what euthanasia actually is The term euthanasia is originated from Greek language Eu means good whereas thanatos means death By combining both meanings the word euthanasia means easy painless death There are two types of euthanasia - voluntary and involuntary Voluntary euthanasia involves the request of the patient for ending his or her life according to his or her will On the other hand involuntary euthanasia is known as the termination of a patients life without knowing his or her will when the patient is in a state of incapability to express it under certain circumstances such as in a comatose state The methods employed to end a patients life are also categorized into active or passive forms The active form requires assistance of additional means to accelerate the death of patient The passive form is performed based on the withdrawal of treatment and medications life support equipment and may stop food and water to allow the patient starve or dehydrate to death Most of the time when making decisions people are under the situation of a critical dilemma In the case of Liang Wanshan he was facing the dilemma of sustaining his comatose mothers life and financial hardship He could only choose to fulfill either one of the occasions If he chose to continue sustaining his mothers life he would probably face difficulties in his living since the cost of medication was so expensive together that he was unemployed and already at a quite old age of 67 However if Liang chose to end his mothers life he could also face the difficulties in his living but surely to a lesser extent in spite of being put in jail after legal counseling Though he benefited in certain ways from electrocuting his mother I think this kind of
