The bitter feud between Bumi's co-founders hasn't affected the coal miner's performance, as the firm today announced it had met 2012 production targets and cut quarterly costs.
The London-listed firm, co-founded by Nat Rothschild and the Indonesian Bakrie family, said it mined 15% more coal in the fourth quarter, helping it hit a full-year production target of 21 million tonnes. In the last three months, the company also cut production costs by 19% to $36.1 per tonne and. Chief executive Nick von Schirnding said Bumi would "continue to relentlessly cut costs across the group."
The Indonesian firm has been plagued by uncertainty at the top since a dispute led to Nat Rothschild's exit from the board last October. Rothschild is calling for the removal of 12 of the 14 board members.
A shareholder vote on Rothschild's proposal is set for February 21st. Bumi shares were up 4.8p to 389.9p.

ANAHEIM, Calif. -- The Seattle Mariners have tried just about everything to end their losing skid. They even started Ichiro Suzuki in center field on Sunday.
Nothing has worked.
Chone Figgins singled home the winning run in the ninth inning and the Los Angeles Angels beat Seattle 3-2 Sunday to send the Mariners to their 11th straight loss.
"Miserable comes to mind. The others you can't print," manager Mike Hargrove said, trying to describe the skid. "It's a good time for a day off. Our guys have shown up every day to play, no matter the circumstances. Eventually, this thing will end."
Seattle's losing streak is its longest since September 1992, when the Mariners dropped a club-record 14 straight. All 11 losses have come on this road trip, the first winless trip of 11 or more games in the franchise's 30-year history.
"I don't know if there's a word to describe it," said Seattle closer J.J. Putz, who surrendered Figgins' hit. "There's been games where we haven't played very well, and games where we've played really well and just didn't get the 'W.'
The Mariners have lost 20 straight games against AL West opponents, extending their major league record for consecutive losses within a team's own division and tying the mark for consecutive losses against any division. The Montreal Expos lost 20 straight against the NL West in 1969, according to the Elias Sports Bureau.
"They've obviously hit a rough spot in the last couple of weeks," Angels manager Mike Scioscia said. "But you learn something very quickly in this game -- nobody is going to feel sorry for you. It's just the nature of baseball."
Putz (2-1) came in with two out in the eighth after reliever Rafael Soriano gave up a walk to Orlando Cabrera and a single to Vladimir Guerrero. Garret Anderson, the Angels' career RBI leader, greeted Putz with an opposite-field single to left that brought home Cabrera to tie it at two.
Reggie Willits led off the ninth with a single against Putz, advanced on Jose Molina's sacrifice bunt and came home when Figgins singled to left on the next pitch. The loss was Putz's first since Aug. 12, 2005, when the Angels beat him in Anaheim.
"I was surprised that it found a hole," Figgins said. "The ball I hit before that, I lined out to shortstop. I was thinking, if (Yuniesky) Betancourt catches this one, I'm going to go chasing him on the field."
Brendan Donnelly (3-0) pitched 1 2/3 scoreless innings of relief for the win, allowing an infield hit.
Angels starter Ervin Santana, who surrendered three home runs Tuesday in a no-decision at Texas, served up Richie Sexson's 26th drive of the season in the fourth inning after a single by Raul Ibanez. The Angels got a run closer in the sixth on consecutive doubles by Cabrera and Guerrero with none out.
Santana gave up two runs, four hits and five walks over seven innings while striking out six.
Left-hander Jake Woods, making his first major league start against his former team, threw 74 pitches over 5 2/3 innings and allowed a run and five hits. He struck out two, walked one and stranded runners at third base in the third and fourth innings.
The left-hander was inserted into the rotation after the struggling Joel Pineiro was demoted to the bullpen on Wednesday. Pineiro did not pitch in the four-game series against the Angels.
Suzuki, the Mariners' five-time Gold Glove right fielder, started in center for the fourth time in his career and first time since Aug. 17, 2002, at Detroit.
"Although we lost, playing center field today was something that was enjoyable in a different way than usual," Suzuki said through a translator. "When you play center field, you're able to see everything."
Seattle's Adrian Beltre was 0-for-4, ending his hitting streak at 15 games.
Seattle's last win against a division rival was on June 11, when it completed a three-game sweep at Anaheim with a 6-2 victory. The Mariners' next game within their division is Aug. 28 at home against the Angels. ... The blown save was the fifth for Putz in 30 opportunities. ... Angels bench coach Ron Roenicke served the one-game suspension he received in the aftermath of Wednesday's bench-clearing brawl at Texas. The team was 3-0 with Roenicke running the team during suspension. "He set the bar pretty high," Scioscia said. "Now he's got to be in the penalty box like I was." ... 2B Adam Kennedy and RHP Kevin Gregg finished serving their four-game suspensions.

cooking 10 Essentials of the Vegan Kitchen f p @
8.4k views 10 items Follow Embed
Not many chefs cook vegan. But for those who do, cooking tends to work better with a well stocked kitchen. And when going vegan (especially if you didn't cook that much) it's hard to know what should be on the countertops and in the cabinets. So I've comprised a list—perhaps a shopping list – of the essential items that every vegan kitchen needs in order to painlessly bake up those vegan cupcakes, and cook the ultimate seitan.
Dry Ingredients
When you are outfitting your kitchen, one should always think of spices, dry pastas, and rice. These items its best to look for when they are on sale and get them when the getting good. Having these sorts of items at hand always is really important, so you don't have to grab spices when a recipe calls for them, instead you can focus on finding the fresh vegetables and quality ingredients. It will also save you money in the long run.
Vegan Cookbooks
There are a lot of amazing vegan cookbooks, and it's really hard to figure out which ones one should get when they are starting out. However I suggest start with one book that is more or less a vegan primer, for beginners like Sarah Kramer's How it all Vegan, and then a more experienced book – for the money Veganomicon will definitely give you a lot of choices. But it's best to ease into cooking, if you are new at it. Some vegan recipes can be pretty daunting for novices.
Measuring Cups
Though this should be quite obvious, when you are cooking from recipes, things can get disastrous especially in baking if you just eye ball everything. You don't need to get anything amazing in terms of measuring cups, plastic ones usually suffice.
You will use a mixer a lot, and having a good countertop variety, instead of the hand models are really going to save you a lot of headache. However, I hate to say that YOU need to have the more expensive kind, but it's a lot more convenient in the long run.
Baking Pans
If you're like every vegan out there, you need to get your baking on. You don't necessarily need to spend a good deal of money on your baking sheets, and cupcake pans, as one can usually get away with reusing the aluminum ones as long as you have a good quality deep pan to lay it in.
Ergonomic Cutting Knives
All knives are not created equal, and when it comes to cooking expensive items like knives should not be skimped on. Cheap knives rust and dull rather quickly, so it's best to look for quality over quantity.
Non-Stick Frying Pan
When you do a lot of frying, a Teflon coated non stick frying pan is amazing and saves you a lot of worry. And allows for a pan to be kept, and reused for many years, as apposed to having to replace them every year or so. It should be mentioned that due to the nature of Teflon these pans should be hand washed.
Food Processor
I cannot stress enough how important it is to have a decent food processor. From making vegetable stock for soup to finely dicing a cooking marinade for baked tofu it will be used heavily. I use a hand cranked one from Betty Crocker, which has served me for years. But, electric or hand driven doesn't matter too much, but spend the money if you can on one that is going to last, because you'll be turning to it quite often.

Lame...lame reasons. Heritage my A**.
Lacson-España flyover takes off despite protests
By: Augusto Villalon
Philippine Daily Inquirer 2:20 am | Monday, August 6th, 2012
THE DEPARTMENT of Environment and Natural Resources has given the permit to topple down these trees on Lacson Avenue, Sampaloc. The sidewalk beside the University of Santo Tomas will be narrowed for road expansion to pave way for a multimillion flyover.
Another flyover is preparing to soar in one of Manilas most populous districts.
The district is Sampaloc, whose already dense population is aggravated by the daily influx of thousands of students who attend the University of Santo Tomas (UST), Far Eastern University, National University, University of the East and other vast campuses in the University Belt.
The Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) announced plans to construct the flyover on Lacson Avenue, eventually to be followed by a Metro Rail Transit (MRT) line on España Boulevard.
The Varsitarian, official student paper of UST, quotes government officials in a report as justifying the project to alleviate traffic congestion at this major intersection.
To alleviate traffic, whether vehicular or human, is an absolute necessity in Sampaloc and in the rest of the city as well. But is a flyover the answer?
A flyover is the easiest answer, a stock solution to traffic management that favors the movement of vehicles over the movement of people.
The Varsitarian says, the DPWH has argued that, from studies we made, we found out that the level of service has already plunged to the F level, referring to the worst condition for traffic.
The flyover construction has been preceded by a road-widening project that will eat into Lacsons sidewalks, displace pedestrians many of whom are students, and cut down trees.
The Varsitarian says the Department of Environment and Natural Resources has allowed trees which have a measurement of 30 cm or more to be cut down for the road widening and the flyover construction.
A traffic-impact assessment is being prepared to justify the flyover project.
Traffic management
There are many ways to reduce traffic. An integrated master plan that looks at design technology together with transit development is normally done for an overview on solving traffic problems.
Other methods include coordinated traffic lights to allow smooth flow, andthis is a more far-fetched but overdue solutionthe reeducation of Filipino drivers.
Even simply controlling the crush of jeepneys at loading points (jeepneys have made the corner of Lacson and España their terminal, apparently with the blessing of City Hall or the MMDA); strictly controlling parking and imposing the provision of off-street parking facilities by all new constructions; clearing sidewalks from obstructions and illegal hawkers; and other relatively simple housekeeping measures will alleviate traffic.
These methods are hardly carried out on Lacson-España and elsewhere. When the traffic mess piles up, the DPWH and MMDA and the rest of government get an excuse to construct multimillion flyovers. (The Sampaloc flyover is estimated to cost over P900 million.)
Lack of impact studies
However, none of the studies by the DPWH takes into account the software aspect. Has the impact of this project with respect to zoning laws and to visual congestion of the area been studied?
Have community-impact and cultural heritage-impact assessments been done?
Despite being a highway project, its not just a road job. It has strong social implications that maybe the road people dont see.
The proposed flyover impacts on the local community which has to live with the wages of flyover long after DPWH completes its construction. It will, actually, change peoples lives. It may have the same impact as the LRT on Rizal Avenue, which has caused the death of business and street life.
So many flyovers detach, distort and scar the city, professor Rizalito Mendoza of the UST College of Architecture is quoted by the Varsitarian as saying. The flyovers autocentric design dehumanizes the city, separating the people because of its focus on vehicular rather than pedestrian mobility.
(The Varsitarian, in its July 7 editorial, Down with the Lacson Flyover, has protested the constructions. Visit The Varsitarian | The Official Student Publication of the University of Santo Tomas.)
Urban neighborhoods have been sliced in two by flyovers, dividing what once was a homogenous population and cutting off contact, which abets urban decay and blight.
Is flyover progress? Are we looking at outdated development models? The Los Angeles model, vehicle-friendly but people-unfriendly, divides neighborhoods, isolates sections of the city from each other, destroys the human activity of simply walking, has been proven to be harmful to community life.
To restore community life, some American cities have gone to the extreme. Flyovers and elevated highways are being taken down at great cost and replaced with open green areas.
Urban quality of life is what cities are recapturing. We want to live in comfortable cities that we can be proud of.
Assault on heritage
Heritage is, of course, an important part of the urban quality of life and forms the identity of a city.
UST is the oldest university in Asia and a national heritage site: Four of its campus landmarks were declared National Cultural Treasures by the National Museum in 2010. Last January, when UST turned 401 years old, the National Historical Institute declared UST a National Historical Landmark.
With a national-heritage declaration come sanctions to development taking place around the heritage site.
A flyover trivializes the historic and cultural significance of the UST campus. Sight lines to the heritage site must be maintained. UST must not go the way of the campus of De La Salle University on Taft Avenue that was forever ruined by the elevated tracks that run across its entire length.
Progress? At what cost? It is time to rethink our image of progress.
The pressures on the fragile quality of Manila life are increasing at an alarming rate. Alarms should ring loud before another flyover accelerates the citys degradation rate

Still Glowing From the 'Oscar Effect' at P.S. 22
SchoolBook reporters spent Thursday morning on campuses that were in the news last year. Here is another in a series of dispatches on how things went on the first day back to school.
Just like the first day of school last year — and the second day and the last day, for that matter — Gregg Breinberg started his morning Thursday with a trip to Dunkin' Donuts on Forest Avenue, in Graniteville, Staten Island. As usual, Mr. Breinberg ordered a large decaffeinated French vanilla coffee, then got back behind the wheel of his Honda Accord for the short drive toward Public School 22, for what would be his 13th "first day" there.
At 38, Mr. Breinberg is obviously no elementary school student, but he is no ordinary teacher, either — for one thing, he had a documentary film crew recording his every interaction. There were the giddy students remarking about his freshly buzzed head — no more ponytail and corn rows this year! — and the questions from parents eager for their children to land in his classroom, all of which could be summed up as the "Oscar Effect."
It continues to glow months after Mr. Breinberg and the student chorus he directs at P.S. 22 were catapulted into an international spotlight, performing "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" at the 2011 Academy Awards ceremony. Already pre-Oscar Internet sensations, thanks to the chorus's melodic renditions of chart-topping pop songs that Mr. Breinberg began posting on YouTube in 2006, his fifth graders sang their hearts out at the awards and were subsequently treated to the barrage of praise and criticism afforded any fresh-faced superstar.
But the young singers, who refer to their charismatic director as "Mr. B.," have moved on. This year, they said, will bring new friends, new quizzes and, of course, new hit singles to cover. (An informal poll on Thursday morning revealed Rihanna and Bruno Mars as early student favorites.)
Mr. Breinberg, whose musical taste veers sharply toward Tori Amos — her "Shattering Sea" provided the soundtrack for his brief commute — said that the indie sensation Florence + the Machine had expressed interest in visiting the chorus this year.
But first, there were new T-shirts.
"You recognize anyone on that?" Mr. Breinberg asked a petite fifth grader named Divina Hernandez, 10, after handing her a red T-shirt that fell to her knees when she put it on.
"It's you!" Mr. Breinberg said with a huge grin, pointing to a graphic made from a photograph featuring Divina and a handful of other singers.
Divina and her friends vowed to wear the shirts for the remainder of the day. "It's quite an experience, because I've never been on a T-shirt before," Divina said.
Documentary crew rolling, Mr. Breinberg said that the most important part of his job was "seeing the kids get excited about music."
"All the extra stuff," he added, "is just, you know, cake."

have not quite grown into. One or two are the real deal, though, and Billy will meet Tod in
a few days.
Bex is not ready for the sex thing. She is quite matter of fact about the whole issue.
She reels off reasons as if she is reading a list of faculties in a university prospectus;
qualifications, boys rather than men, too young to really know her own mind, being
frightened of the responsibility. It is Billy who is uncomfortable. He has a history, a list, a
little black book chock- full of names from his illustrious past, but like his own parents, as
he grows older he finds the subject increasingly difficult to talk about to people younger
than himself, especially those he loves. He feels inadequate. He should be able to pass on
the benefit of his experience, but it seems so sordid. The thought of Bex in the arms of
some heathen called Tod begins to form in his head and he changes the subject.
Results. Bex wants to take a year out if she gets good grades, a year doing
something somewhere. She has yet to make up her mind. A year on the tiles before taking
up the books again. She wants to be a vet. Billy revels in her optimism, in the sheer range
and exuberance of her take on possibilities. The world beckons and she is ready to follow.
Billy tries to explain how careful she must be and how she must try to understand the
questions before assuming that she has any answers. He still has nightmares about his little
girl being led away by a Pied Piper.
How do you live with love, he wonders?
Bex wants to know about his past. Billy plays a game with her, one they have
enjoyed for some years now. He selects records from his collection, talks her through the
stories and the lives, and pins the melody to his own life. Bex has an aural map of her
father's history.
They always end up with Vic. As the last bars of On the Street Where You Live fall
away, Bex asks, "Can we go out tomorrow night? I want to see where you work".
Billy protests. "I wouldn't call Snuggle's the place where I work".
Bex insists and Billy bows to her youthful enthusiasm. "Okay, okay. Tomorrow
night. Actually, it's not a bad idea. Open mic night. You'll see how terrible most people are,
and just how talented your old man is."
"Modesty", says Bex, smiling up at her father. She is sitting on the floor, resting her
head on his knee as he selects records and tracks, and cues them up on the turntable. "And
it'll be nice to catch up with Maggie. Haven't seen her since last summer. How is she?"
Billy puts a hand on his daughter's head and strokes her hair gently. "Same old
The old Sillick place continues to rot. Each season brings with it cliff top weather. It
almost never snows and frosts are rare, but it rains hard and often. When the wind blows
the rain billows across the fields in great sweeping clouds. It seeps into the fabric of
anything man made, finding the smallest cracks and gaps. For Doctor Jasari and his good-
time girl the early part of the week passes without weather. They have an accommodation
to make.

More than just a costume
By KARA EBERLE
While shopping for Halloween costumes this year, I noticed a theme.
Girls could choose from a wide array of princess, fairy and witch costumes.
Boys could be firemen, police officers, ship captains, ninjas and doctors.
And, although I know it's just a Halloween costume, I couldn't help but think about the message this sends to my little girl: Boys are protectors and professionals. Girls are fair maidens waiting to be rescued or ugly witches.
As Mara and I scanned the costumes, I tried not to influence her decision, except to point her away from the ones that cost more than $30.
When we came to the doctor costume in the boy section, she was excited.
"I want to be a doctor!" she proclaimed.
My heart filled with pride, no matter how silly or insignificant her decision might seem.
"Of course, you can be a doctor," I said and put the outfit into the cart. I chose not to tell her it was supposed to be a boy costume, even though the tag clearly said "BOY" on it.
When we got home, Mara beamed as she told her daddy what she picked out. Mark told her that she could be a real doctor when she grows up. Mara maintained that she wants to be a princess.
"But you're already a princess," said my wise husband, "so you can be a doctor when you grow up."
Mara seemed OK with that idea and then used her pretend stethoscope to check her baby brother's heart beat.
Since that day, I have had many daydreams about my little girl being a doctor. "Paging Dr. Eberle" seems to have such a nice ring to it.
But, just as I don't want costume manufacturers to influence my daughter's decisions, I need to remember not to push Mara into being something just because I like the idea of it.
I'll make sure she knows that I will be proud of her no matter what she chooses to do.
And I'll tuck away this year's Halloween costume in her hope chest, just in case.

As Mitt Romney heads into Super Tuesday rising in the polls, he is doing his best to shed three favorite memes of the political chattering class. After essentially six years of running for president, he may have gotten the knack of it.
The dig on Romney has been that he doesn't convince or bond with the conservative base. In fact, he's been winning the "somewhat" conservative vote but not the "very conservative" vote for some time. Now, a new Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll shows: "He had the support of 38% of likely GOP primary voters in the survey, his highest mark since launching his campaign in June and up 10 percentage points since January. His closest rival, Mr. Santorum, had 32% support. . . . His backing among tea-party supporters jumped to 35%, up from 21% in January, while his support among Republicans who call themselves 'very conservative' nearly doubled, to 32%. He also saw a surge of support in the South, where Mr. Gingrich's own backing plunged to a third of what it was just six weeks ago." Importantly, he did all of this without engaging in culture wars or plunging into rhetoric or taking positions that will turn off general-election voters.
Romney has also been scolded for being "too negative." His campaign team has continued its search-and-destroy mission, picking apart Rick Santorum's record bit by bit and seizing on his rhetorical extremism and organizational flubs (e.g. not qualifying for 18 delegates in Ohio). But the candidate has been focused on policy lately, rolling out his tax plan and reintroducing his plans on debt control and entitlement reform.
In doing so Romney also reduced the emphasis on his own bullet-point resume (business man for 25 years, rescued the Olympics, etc.), which critics claimed was not sufficiently compelling to reach conservative voters and persuade Republicans he was the best-equipped candidate to take over the executive branch. It turns out that conservative voters really care about the issues, and Romney has satisfied them by revealing in greater detail what he wants to do as president.
And finally, Romney is now talking about positive aspects of his life. It had often seemed that the positive parts of Romney's personal life (his huge charitable giving, support for his sick wife, his work as a lay leader in the Mormon Church) were stamped "top secret," and kept from public view. But that began to change. First, he relented on release of his tax returns, highlighting the enormous sums he pays in taxes and gives away. Ann Romney has become a beloved figure on the trail and now cuts biographical ads, sharing Romney's softer side. And Romney himself now talks about his overseas mission, his Bain rescue operation, his wife's illness and his dad's immigrant and rags-to-riches story.
In this he surely has been helped by the comparison to Rick Santorum, who seems to be doing his best to appear harsh and angry. In the choice between a sort of TV dad and a cultural scold, the TV dad doesn't look so bad.
Much has been made about Romney's wealth "gaffes." Fred Barnes argues this is much ado about nothing: "One, people by and large don't hate the rich. They don't think the well-to-do are evil, as they might have in the 1930s. Two, by definition, a gaffe is a social blunder or faux pas. Romney's supposed gaffes don't qualify. Three, everybody already knows Romney is rich. Next to the fact he's a Mormon, it's the personal detail for which he's most famous." Romney will likely continue to make comments either because he's being honest (he really does have NASCAR owners as friends and his wife does have two Cadillacs) and because he sometimes tries to hard to bond with ordinary voters. But if the rich-guy utterances are one small part of a larger, more favorable image of a candidate, those comments won't have the bite they once did.
And let's be honest, the fight has gone out of a lot of Romney's right-wing critics. They'll still slam him for real and imagined slip-ups. But as he becomes more and more likely to be the nominee, the conservative media no longer delights in piling on every time he lets on that he is rich.
President Obama (who's a millionaire himself) and the mainstream media will continue to flyspeck for Romney's failure to abide by the rules of class-correctness (the counterpart to political correctness in which only liberal rich guys get a free pass for amassing wealth). But all of that will have less traction, the Romney team hopes, if the public knows more about a guy whose worst quality seems to be that he provokes envy among those who chide him for being too perfect ("plastic," they say). And let's not forget that he is running against a president whose idea of connecting with average voters is to drop his "g's."

Apr 16, 2013|
The Sox manager talked to Joe Castiglione about the attack on the day that is Patriots' Day and Jackie Robinson Day. John said that Boston is a resilient city.
Transcript - Not for consumer use. Robot overlords only. Will not be accurate.
John where were you when you get word about the explosions. Copley Square. You know Joey you're in the clubhouse so it was about. 3540 minutes at the end of the yesterday's ball game and as we're packing up get ready on -- bus a couple of reporters to blow there -- Sox personality mentioned that there were explosions over the finish line. In and the a tragedy that took place in our heart and our thoughts and prayers go out to all those that have been affected by the us. I'm thinking of our kind of our conversation yesterday before the game with our border glorious day it is -- Boston something very unique. He really is and we consider Patriots stay all the goes into it in addition to the Jack Robinson celebration. But with Patriots stay the 11 o'clock start with us the Boston Marathon just a great sporting event that draws people from worldwide. But that's the thing about it is you know if you hit it hits home. When it's in your neighborhood when it's in your city and when people such as we've had people -- the Red Sox organization be affected by this directly. It's certainly a tragedy and again our our thoughts and prayers go out all those affected. While I certainly hear it for sure and where did you sense on the plane on the bus with your club. Well you know I I I couldn't be more probably some guys have responded quickly you know in this information age guys -- tweet about this is a very resilient group it's a resilient city it's. It's a very heartfelt. Place that knowing that the Red Sox are such a part of the fabric of Boston and all of New England. -- live. The feeling around the team as well certainly one of concern. And when I think everyone found out -- their own families or loved ones that might have gone down to see the conclusion of the race were safe. Before -- service was shut off there was a feeling of relief. But I know that there is these are guys that Wear this uniform we know that we've got a a place in this city and and we can hopefully help those who've been effective get back to some sore and sensitive to analyses. And I think by doing that we can go out and play as tough ball game as we can -- to show that spirit and that resiliency. What do you think could be gone through the minds of baseball people tonight when they happen as being player moment of silence is observed. Well I think they'll be quicker recall of you know 2001 and 9/11 situation that took place back then. People probably reflect on where were they on that day that those planes crashed into the cities around the country. And no doubt that everyone will think about where they were yesterday. Will line up on the field tonight both the unions and -- third base side will be on the first base side. In celebration of Jackie Robinson day that wasn't celebrating your magazines being off but. In our hearts and our moment of reflection will think back to the people that were effective yesterday in Boston will baseball be an escape for you and the players tonight. I think it will be and I and I think you know there's been so many -- -- -- in society wind sports. Maybe can give some or -- -- -- to allowing people to get back to a normal routine no I can't say it'll be a complete distraction. But I think the same time. You know it on the heels of a very cowardly act it's important for us to get back to our daily lives and our daily routines. More mundane and then getting back to baseball he made a roster move today and tell us about that and some of the we have people. Well what -- Joel Hanrahan going on the disabled list because of the right hamstring issue it was becoming more clear that he's gonna need about five or seven days so we've DL him Weaver called Steven Wright the knuckleballer. Who worked out of the bullpen for us to provide us lengthened multi innings if needed. This will also give Joseph a chance and only get that right hamstring cleared up but. Probably go out -- make a couple of appearances to get going again. Other guys that are making steady progress -- Ortiz was back in the lineup today he did go over four but. On the I'm coming off of some spasm in the left -- yesterday there was no issues today so that was a positive sign we've adjusted Franklin Morales is. Rehab program he'll -- good Greeneville later today and -- there tomorrow. Craig Breslow pitched an inning of relief down extended spring training so guys start to make their way game and that will be -- before those guys get back to us on a full time basis. I just saw Terry Francona and they say these try to get a year in between. Doing TV before he came back to manage against his own team and he's your very close friend though it's going through your mind. You won't win tonight you know -- put me at times is to share some laughs whether that's been before we cut into Cleveland or or once the series is over but. I think everybody in our dugout that has the utmost respect for Tino. And today is just it is it isn't. A very different and -- -- given what the events that transpired yesterday in Boston another celebration for Jackie Robinson connection between the teams across the field today. There there's an array of emotions that are gonna certainly be in this ballpark here tonight John thank you for wells said then don't talk again tomorrow OK -- appreciate it.

Tarah Mikacich Interview By Wake World
Although she's gone from one famous watersports name (Benzel) to another (Mikacich), Tarah Mikacich has been quietly making a name for herself. Once you've been introduced to her bubbly personality and experienced her drive to progress in all she does, it's no surpise that she's successful in just about any undertaking. Even in the off-season we had to catch the busy Tarah between projects so you could find out more about her.
WW: What's the most important part about being a pro wakeboarder?
TM: I think that loving what you do has got to be the most important thing. Sometimes people get too caught up with little things and they forget to be grateful that they get to wakeboard and spend their days on the water.
WW: What's the hardest part?
TM: Sometimes it's hard to know how far you can push yourself. There's always a risk that what you're trying could injure you and set you back, OR it could bring your riding up to the next level.

From: Happy Food,
Ali Silk, founder of Tea Horse, the fabulous tea subscription company brings you reasons for why tea is beneficial to your health...
As a big tea lover, I'm always keen to encourage people to try the amazing variety of delicious flavours that loose tea has to offer - it's so rewarding when someone takes just one taste of a really great loose tea and says 'Wow, I never knew tea could taste so good!'
It's not just the taste benefits that makes tea so great, or the comfort we get from a cuppa when we're cold, feeling down or in need of a pick-up, but the numerous health benefits it has to offer. Here are just a few great reasons why drinking tea is beneficial:
1. For a happy heart - black teas help reduce blood pressure and lower cholesterol. Drinking three cups of tea a day can help to reduce the risk of heart disease.
2. For beautiful skin – Green and white teas are packed full of antioxidants called catechins. Using loose leaves (rather than tea bags), you'll get even higher levels – three cups of green tea are said to have eight times more antioxidants than one apple! These antioxidants combat free radicals in the body, fighting the signs of ageing and protecting against skin damage caused by the sun or the environment.
3. For a happy head – black tea contains L-theanine, an amino acid that works on the brain to increase serotonin, dopamine and GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid), reducing levels of the stress hormone, while also boosting concentration and even helping symptoms of PMS.
Try our 2nd Flush Assam from India for a malty, rich breakfast cup, Ceylon Uva OP1 from Sri Lanka for a zingy, refreshing cup or black Keemum Mao Feng for a fragrant tea with cocoa flavours. Available at www.teahorse.co.uk.
4. For a healthy stomach – Mint helps soothe the stomach and helps digestion, great after a big meal or if you're feeling a little queasy. Check out our Mint Detox tea which contains peppermint, aniseed, liquorice and fennel, a potent combination for cleansing the body of toxins, improving digestion and relieving bloating.
5. Keeping slim - The catechins in green and oolong teas are believed to boost the metabolism which, along with a healthy diet and some exercise, could help weight loss. For a lovely, refreshing green tea try our Sencha Fukujyu or Jasmine Pearls
You can subscribe to Tea Horse tea club at www.teahorse.co.uk and you will receive an exciting, carefully curated selection of four different loose teas per month, hassle-free filters to brew the tea plus a lovely booklet. You will also get some fantastic recipe cards, giving you some delicious ideas for food and drink recipes using tea!
Need some more inspiration? Check out Ali's recipe for tea jelly - we can't wait to give it a go...
The lovely folk at Tea Horse are giving Wahanda readers 25% off your first month's subscription if you sign up before the end of August - simply head over to their site and use the code THWA25 at the checkout.

Hey guys.
I was wondering; would it be all right to insert some sit-ups into the reps aswell?
Like this:
1 pull-ups
2 push-ups
3 sit-ups
3 squats
Would that work or is that a no-no? I feel like the abs could use some more focus :)
Thanks in advance!

Clark Breaks Silence On Tribute Park Dome
The local artist who is responsible for building the Tribute Park dome will open up his shop next month so the public can watch as he works on the overdue monument, The Wave learned this week.
"The Tribute Park Dome 'Heavens Over Rockaway' is nearing completion," artist Patrick Clark announced by placing an ad in this newspaper. "All are welcome to visit the workshop and watch final fabrication of the dome… Observe as the final dome panels are 'cast' and the liquid cement is poured into curved dome molds around the hand-faceted slab glass and crystal 9/11 name stars."
Clark, said he will show visitors how he chips, cuts and facets the colored glass slabs used in the dome, and will hand out free samples of the glass as well.
And despite his consistent refusal to set a completion date, Clark now suggests that the park's missing link could be finished soon: "The dome work will be done about two weeks after this demo," he said.
Chamber of Commerce President John Lepore greeted the news this week with an even mix of enthusiasm and surprise. "Well that's great. I look forward to seeing it," he said after The Wave told him about Clark's plans. "We're pretty much out of the loop on all of this," he admitted. "But the stage is set for him to finish up."
This is the first time that Clark has sought to update the public, and perhaps anyone else, on his progress since he broke his contract to deliver the dome almost a month after the park's unveiling on November 6, 2005. Clark was vague about a completion date leading up to opening day, which brought criticism from members of the Tribute Park Committee who said they thought Clark could have finished in time.
Clark's relationship with the park committee disintegrated as negotiations with the city Arts Commission brought more and more changes to his original design. Money squabbles and blowing the deadline widened the rift.
Clark hasn't returned calls from The Wave since October, when he accused a reporter of misquoting him in a story: The Wave reported that he said he might not finish the dome until the day after the park opened to the public; he denied saying that. Clark did not return calls this week.
The dome's unfinished state did not appear to cast a shadow over opening day as the other parts of the park, featuring two other key pieces of artwork designed by Clark, were very well received under sunny skies and balmy weather. Survivors of September 11 victims, community members, Mayor Michael Bloomberg and other elected and government officials gave Clark the loudest applause of the ceremony.
About two weeks later, Clark notified the Chamber of Commerce of the Rockaways and the park committee that he intended to break his contract to finish the dome by December 1, 2005. Clark claimed that the agreement was "rendered moot" because the Chamber hadn't installed bolts at the top of the dome. Lepore told The Wave that Clark was procrastinating and making more excuses.
The committee subsequently gave Clark as much time as he needed to finish, as long as he agreed to regular inspections so that progress could be assessed. The decision came after committee representatives Dan Mundy and Community Board 14 District Manager Jonathan Gaska visited Clark's workshop unannounced and found more progress than they expected.
Clark also announced that his business, Sunlites Stained Glass, will relocate this summer because the property that houses it, formerly owned by firefighter Eric Allen who was killed on September 11, has been sold. He said "neighborhood gentrification" will end his workshop's 20-year history at the location, where he says the Rockaway Artists Alliance was founded and stained glass pieces were made or restored for hundreds of local homes and religious institutions as well as prominent locations in Manhattan and beyond.
Clark will host the free open house on Saturday, March 4, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. The demonstration will pause while the Rockaway St. Patrick's Day Parade passes Beach 116 Street. Visitors are encouraged to travel by foot as there will be no parking in Clark's driveway and traffic will be restricted due to the parade. Sunlites Stained Glass is located in the basement of 117-07 Beach Channel Drive.

Nearly 44 years ago, in the bleak torrential rain of a Vietnam downpour, Morrie Stanley saved a lot of Australian lives.
Today the Australians recognised his Vietnam War bravery and in a moving ceremony which reduced the terminally ill Mr Stanley to tears, they pinned a bravery award on his chest in a ceremony at the East Coast Bays RSA on Auckland's North Shore.
The award was an Australian Unit Citation for Gallantry awarded to D Company, 6th Battalion Royal Australian Regiment which fought in a battle now famous in Australian military history.
Three New Zealand soldiers - Captain Stanley and lance bombardiers Willie Walker and Murray Broomhall - were attached to the 104 members of the Australian company when they were attacked in the rubber plantation of Long Tan by about 2500 to 3000 North Vietnamese Army and Viet Cong soldiers on August 18, 1966.
In the ensuing battle 17 Australian soldiers died and 23 were wounded but had it not been for the skills of the kiwis, the battle of Long Tan would probably have been lost and all the Australian soldiers killed.
The trio were at the front line directing the artillery fire from 21 artillery guns from New Zealand, Australia and American units which eventually drove back the attacking Vietnamese troops, leaving 245 dead.
Mr Stanley was in the thick of the action, directing artillery fire in torrential rain to land the artillery shells on the enemy soldiers within 30m of the Australian soldiers.
Today Mr Stanley said he was stunned to get the award and although he did not consider himself to be an emotional man, he had tears in his eyes, particularly when he was reunited with Mr Walker and several of the Australian soldiers. The Australian veterans had made the journey especially for the presentation.
"I am astounded, I was stunned.
"I have done a lot of weeping in the last week and I don't mind admitting that," said Mr Stanley, whose terminal cancer was diagnosed only two months ago.
He had expected to be going to the RSA for a small lunch gathering and said he was "floored" when he recognised people he had fought alongside nearly 44 years ago.
Mr Stanley said there were 104 Australian heros and three New Zealand heroes at the battle of Long Tan.
"We all saved ourselves. If I had not survived, they certainly wouldn't have and if they hadn't survived, I certainly would not have," he told NZPA today.
Veterans Affairs Minister Judith Collins hailed Mr Stanley as a hero who overcame overwhelming odds.
"It was an impossible situation in which the unit faced overwhelming odds. Without Mr Stanley's courage and cool-headed commitment to duty, many Australian soldiers might never have made it out of that plantation alive<" she said.
"I congratulate Mr Stanley on this citation from the Australian Government. He is an inspiration and true Anzac hero of whom all New Zealanders should be proud."
During the four-hour battle, more than 4000 artillery shells were fired from the 18 105mm pack howitzer artillery guns before the North Vietnamese and Viet Cong soldiers quietly slipped away.
In his account of the battle, Major Harry Smith, the company commander of D Company in 1966, said his soldiers fought off wave after wave of enemy attacks.
"They would reorganise and come back in with bugles sounding, clambering over bodies of dead comrades.
"At times we brought the artillery fire in very close, almost on top of us," he wrote.
Mr Stanley said many people did many great things during the battle.

In an acknowledgment of its efforts to make the city safer for women, Hindustan Times, Mumbai, was given the Laadli Media Award for Gender Sensitivity, 2011-2012 (Western Region) at an event in Jaipur on Saturday. HT's 'Blow the Whistle' campaign secured the award in the 'Best Campaign-Newspaper' category.
Dr Jitendra Singh, Rajasthan's minister for information and public relations, presented the award. Manish Pachouly, senior assistant editor, Hindustan Times, Mumbai, received the award on behalf of the team.
With an increasing number of women entering the workforce in urban areas, concerns over their safety are more relevant than ever. The campaign by HT focused on raising awareness about lack of safety in public places and posed hard-hitting questions to various authorities.
The campaign, executed jointly with non-government organisation (NGO) Akshara, saw both the railway police and BEST management take cognisance of the reports and take measures to make public transport safer.
Six hundred entries were received for the 23 awards presented in 20 categories. The awards were presented to media agencies from across four languages.

Bill eases autopsy disclosures
Sat., Feb. 9, 2013, midnight
Senate-sponsored measure covers police-involved deaths
OLYMPIA – A proposal to allow law enforcement officials to discuss details of autopsies from officer-involved shootings cleared its first hurdle Friday.
Senate Bill 5256 is designed to address a problem Spokane law enforcement officials say they have clearing up misinformation in controversial cases when a suspect is killed by a deputy or police officer. The Senate Law and Justice Committee gave unanimous support to a revised version of the bill, paving the way for a vote by the full Senate.
It would lift some confidentiality restrictions on autopsy reports if the death occurs in the custody of a law enforcement officer or during police contact, or for deaths that occur in a prison or jail. Under an amendment approved Friday, a medical examiner could discuss his or her conclusions about the cause and manner of death, but wouldn't be required to release photos.
Spokane Sheriff Ozzie Knezovich has said he'd be able to explain details of cases like the Sept. 5 death of Edward Gover, who returned to the home of a woman he'd held hostage and encountered deputies who thought he had a knife. They said they fired when he charged them, but no knife was found and two of the bullets struck Gover in the back.
Knezovich said the deputies responded appropriately, but couldn't discuss the autopsy findings because of orders from the county medical examiner's office.
Sen. Mike Padden, R-Spokane Valley, who is the sponsor of the bill and chairman of the committee, said there's a legitimate public interest in details surrounding deaths that involve police actions.


text: Culture 5 February 2007 Fighting talk Guerrilla Warfare: authorised edition Ernesto Che Guevara Ocean Press, 160pp Sign up for our weekly email * Written just a year after the 1959 Cuban revolution, Guevara's discussion of military strategy is more an anachronistic curiosity than a manual for tacticians. "No battle, combat, or skirmish should be fought unless it can be won," Che Guevara assures the readers, establishing early on the author's preference for banal generalities. The advice doesn't improve much – there are passages on the correct age to become a combatant, or the proper placement of food in a backpack. Undoubtedly, Che Guevara and Castro achieved incredible victories, yet the book never touches on any details of any campaign, which would at least have added historical interest. Whatever you may think of Guevara, his military record after this book was finished was less than glorious. He played a controversial role in the 1962 nuclear missile crisis and later failed in his attempts to ignite revolutions in Congo and Bolivia, losing his life in the process. Yet reading the passages of this work where Guevara issues vague instructions to show leniency towards captured enemies, and contrasting them with reports of the massacres of Batista supporters which he supervised, one is almost grateful that he never manages to explain himself clearly.

Meadow Village Fifth Graders are studying life science using a hands on method. Students discussed producers (plants), consumers (animals), and decomposers (bacteria and Fungi). To bring the idea home for students they were able to explore the contents of owl pellets. The students used tweezers to find bones of birds, voles, mice, and rats. Then students classified the bones found. Finally, they estimated the number of animals their owl eats in a typical day, week, and year! Imbedded in the learning experience students learned the importance of using safety gear such as goggles.

Does anyone know if Pressed Rawhide bones from China are safe?
Are pressed rawhide "bones" made in China safe? They are readily available and cheap- are we harming our dogs by letting them chew these? They DO swallow pieces of them. We have a big supply- but WOULD throw them away in a second if they are BAD!!

Rawhides aren't generally safe, unfortunately.
The cowskin (or other animal skins) used in rawhides are usually already contaminated by tanning or softening chemicals long before they end up as strips recycled for dogs.
Doesn't really matter where they come from, but I'd assume China is even worse, based on the carcinogenic chemicals that seem to be in lots of exports for dogs.
I'd not give my dog a rawhide. I'd rather give him some natural jerky or even just a rogz bone or a kong filled with peanut butter.
Chemicals aside, the person who said that the rawhides are indigestible are right; they basically have to rot in the gut because they are not digested in the normal way.
Not great, all around!

NO rawhides are good for dogs no matter where they come from!! Rawhides can become lodged in the intestines and require emergency surgery. Or worse, rawhides can kill the dog if the obstruction is left undiagnosed and/or untreated.
There are too many good treats out there to feed your pup so skip the rawhides! :)

I am not a big rawhide fan. But if I were to give them as a treat, I would make sure they were made in the U.S.A. Many other countries do not have the same regulations and may treat the rawhides with fromaldehyde or arsenic. IMHO, rawhides from China are not safe.
Depending on how large the pieces are that your dogs are swallowing, you may want to reconsider giving rawhides all together. Obstructions are not fun.

i agree with the other posters, i dont give my dogs rawhide no matter where they came from... they are not safe
you could try bully sticks, they are more expensive but i have to say my pups love them, they get all mad when i take them away when they get too small, but they are a great chew and the pups love them.
NuNu {Nubert Nubinsky} answered on 10/13/07. Helpful? / 0
If your dog has the desire to chew, get his/her some carrots to gnaw on. They are healthy and they usually like them.

Steven Tyler Apologizes to Nicki Minaj
Steven Tyler has apologized to Nicki Minaj, but says he's no racist.
The 'American Idol' judge lashed out at the Aerosmith rocker - who she replaced on the panel of the talent show - after he questioned her suitability and claimed she would've passed on legendary musician Bob Dylan if he auditioned but Steven was shocked when Nicki took it as a racist insult.
He told Canada's 'eTalk': "It was a moment, I'm sorry if it was taken wrong. But I'm the furthest from a racist. I'm not sure how she got that from me saying 'I'm not sure she would have judged Bob Dylan'. I was just saying if Bob Dylan came on the show he would have been thrown off. Maybe I spoke out of turn but a racist I'm not."
Nicki was furious when Steven insisted she would have turned down Bob Dylan if he auditioned for 'American Idol' and took to twitter to blast the 'Aerosmith' rocker.
She wrote: "Steven Tyler said I would have sent Bob Dylan to a cornfield??? Steven, you haven't seen me judge one single solitary contestant yet.
"I understand you really wanted to keep your job but take that up with the producers. I haven't done anything to you. That's a racist comment.
"You assume that I wouldn't have liked Bob Dylan??? why? black? rapper? what? go f**k yourself and worry about yourself babe. LOL lets make him a shirt that says 'No Coloreds Allowed' (sic)"
