|Betsy Ross widely credited with making the first American flag purportedly in 1776, according to family tradition, upon a visit from General George Washington, commander-in-chief of the Continental Army, and changing the shape of the stars described on the flag from six-pointed to easier-to-produce five-pointed stars. However, there is no archival evidence or other verbal traditions that this story or "legend" of the first American flag is true and supposedly the story first surfaced in the early 1870s by the description of her descendents, , a century later with no mention being made or documented anywhere in earlier decades

After much success and popularity with the KTA-282 Modbus TCP Weather Station Gateway, we are pleased to announce that we have released a new and improved revision to the product.
If you are not already familiar with the KTA-282, it allows any one of our weather stations to be connected to a programmable controller (PLC, RTU, SCADA, etc) via the Modbus RTU (on RS-485) or Modbus TCP/IP (on Ethernet) protocols. Furthermore, it provides the ability to easily monitor the weather station and carry out actions based on weather data. For more information and a complete description of features, please visit the KTA-282 product page.
One of the more significant changes adopted with the new version is the inclusion of two open collector outputs. After some development and feedback from customers, we have included these outputs to allow the user flexibility to program alarms and/or other conditional events based on variables received from the weather station.
*Note* You are not limited to this specific hardware. Variations of this kit are available to allow you to choose hardware that best suits your needs. Please visit the Vantage Pro2 Modbus Weather Station Kit page for more information.
*Note* We have several other GSM Controllers available. Choose one that will be suitable for your needs.
Connect hardware up as follows:
*Note* The LED's setup up in this configuration will light up when inactive and turn off when the output is active.
MODBUS holding registers will have to be set as follows. Please see the KTA-282 User Manual for more detail on how to do this.- Open Collector 1 Setup
This will set up the Open Collector 1 Output to go active when the Outside Temperature reaches ABOVE 24 degrees Celcius.- Open Collector 2 Setup
This will set up the Open Collector 2 Output to go active when the Outside Humidity reaches ABOVE 70%.
Refer to the LEC-010 User Manualto properly configure the unit. In general, we will need to:
Upon either of the two OC1 & OC2 conditional events becoming active, the KTA-282 will communicate directly with the GSM Controller and trigger an alarm as configured by the user. The GSM controller will then alert any authorised numbers with a pre-configured SMS message.
It is easy to see the added benefit of these Open Collector Outputs on the KTA-282. It allows the user much more functionality right out of the box and the flexibility of controlling and communicating with external hardware.

Three most commonly used missile configurations are tested in a shock tunnel, and a new set of aerodynamic data is obtained at M∞ = 3.85 and 9.15 by using an accelerometer balance system. The agreement between theory and experiment is generally good for all the cases. Noticeable decreases in measured CLand Cmvalues are obtained at M∞=9.15, compared to those at M∞ = 3.85. The dependence of CDon M∞ seems to be insignificant.

On Saturday, Oct 11, 2003, at 14:25 Europe/Rome, Nicola Ken Barozzi wrote: > Please don't forget Forrest. we are not. I thought about it and I totally resonate with Bertrand: we need to outline an incremental transition to our own CMS reusing as much dog food as possible (which is also good for a community perspective). Here is my proposal: 1) the system gets divided into three parts - frontend -> mapped to http://cocoon.apache.org -> static - repository -> a WebDAV server - backend -> mapped to http://edit.cocoon.apache.org -> dynamic 2) each page is rendered with a wiki-like "edit this page" link, that points to the exact same URI, on the backend virtual host. 3) everybody is able to edit or to enter new pages, but they need to be approuved to get published. 4) a committer can publish directly (thru a login) 5) each page is considered an atomic learning object (LO) and is identified by a numerical URI 6) the process of creating a learning object (editing) and the process of linking some together, are kept independent. The above is really important, IMO, because separates concerns between: - writers -> those who know about something and want to write about it - editors -> those who know what users want to know and assembles knowledge for them The lack of separation between these two types of people is, IMO, what is missing from our documentation infrastructure. Note that wikis concentrate on the first part and leave the second part up to the collective task of content refactoring. I think this is weak and it's the worst part of the wiki pattern: we need something better. The future idea is to use indirect linking where lookup is a sort of "what's related" understood out of the analysis of user patterns, but this is far ahead in the future. For now, I think direct linking would be enough for our needs... we just need a good "lookup and discovery" of learning objects integrated in the backend. - o - As the implementation 1) forrest will be used to generate the site from the contents of the repository 2) the repository can be either plain vanilla subversion or a webdav server implemented by cocoon on top of another repository (either subversion or catacomb or JSR170). even CVS, but we might want to stay away from it. 3) lenya will be used as the backend. Missing things: 1) is forrest already capable of doing what we ask? 2) what's the best repository? where do we install it? 3) is lenya enough for what we need? (Michi says so) 4) how much work is the integration of linotype with lenya? (I'll investigate this soon) 5) how do we get the wiki into the repository? (I plan to write a wiki-syntax editing pane for linotype, would this be enough?) 6) how do we get the rest of the data into the repository? 7) how do we make it simple to edit linkmaps? what searching and proximity tools can we provide for this? Enough of a braindump for now. Fire at will. -- Stefano.

|1990s 2000s
1961, Korin, Mali. Converging the traditional sounds of griot and western dance music, Bagayogo has been nicknamed Techno Issa in his home country. The singer-songwriter began singing and playing the kamelégoni (a six-stringed harp, traditionally associated with hunters in the Wassoulou region) and the daro (a metal bell) while working on the family farm. Becoming well known locally, Bagayogo briefly relocated to the capital Bamako where he recorded a cassette of music before returning home to his family. Two years later, he ventured back to the capital where he became an apprentice bus driver and recorded more music. Becoming increasingly destitute and depressed, however, Bagayogo turned to drink and separated from his wife.
Fortuitously, the musician hooked up with guitarist Moussa Koné and French engineer Yves Wernert. With his new collaborators, Bagayogo began mixing his traditional music with digital sounds at...

There are actors, and then there are stars. One's first reaction would be to call Holly Hunter a star. She is, after all, one of America's finest film actresses; she won an Academy Award for her blazingly memorable role as Ada, a mute 19th-century Scottish widow in The Piano, and was Oscar-nominated for two other films: Broadcast News and The Firm. Any producer with a suitable film role for her would feel profound gratitude for her name on the dotted line. Respect for her in the industry borders on reverence.
That sounds like stardom, but Hunter insists otherwise. "I've never flown that path," she says. "That path chooses people and people choose it. It's a dance. It takes two, the public and the person. You have to want it: the public has to want it from you. Neither is part of my equation."
To ram home the point, she contrasts herself with Julia Roberts: "Julia's a movie star, man. With some people, there's an undeniable bond between the audience and the actor. It's a chemical thing between the public and a performer. And in a way, movie stars become public property."
No one would say that about Hunter. She doesn't relish the jokey intimacies of talk-show sofas. She isn't one to linger on the red carpet, encouraging paparazzi to keep snapping away at her. In interviews she is studiously polite and happily discusses her work, but she doesn't ingratiate. As for her personal life, she is disinclined to share.
"I've never allowed the public to have expectations of me," she says. "My career has allowed me to make whatever choices I like. No one ever says, 'You've betrayed us. You can't do that. Why don't you do what we love?'" In a sense, then, she's a clean slate? "Absolutely. I can move when I want, how I want, where I want."
In person, Hunter, 45, has dark, striking looks and an inquisitive expression. She is tiny (5ft 2in at most) and slim to the point of frailty. Settling back into the overstuffed sofa, her legs barely touch the floor; from across the room she resembles an adolescent girl. This is ironic, because in her new film, Thirteen (which opened yesterday), Hunter plays a single mother whose teenage daughter slides from childish innocence to self-destructive delinquency at alarming speed.
It's equally ironic that Hunter, whose voice is unmistakable, earned her Oscar for playing a mute character. Raised in Georgia, she speaks with a slow Southern drawl that makes you wonder if she has marbles in her mouth. Somehow she manages to sound both nasal and guttural; her plosive consonants ricochet off the walls of the suite.
She laughingly describes her choice of roles as veering between no-profile through low-profile to high-profile. On this spectrum, Thirteen would rate as low-profile – or at least it was when she committed to the film. It was by first-time director Catherine Hardwicke, it cost a mere $2 million, and even then only Hunter's agreement to sign up (she also functioned as one of its executive producers) allowed the flow of enough funds to get shooting started.
"Not that my presence brought a whole lot of dough," she says modestly.
For those people who are now or have ever been the parents of teenage girls, Thirteen can be a bumpy ride. It starts with a wrenching scene: two girls sitting on a bed, hitting each other hard in the face in turn until they bruise and bleed. One of these is Tracy (Evan Rachel Wood), who swiftly graduates from Barbie dolls to shoplifting, body-piercing and self-mutilation. The other is Evie, played by Nikki Reed, now all of 15, who with Hardwicke co-wrote the script, based on events in her own life. Evie is the coolest girl in school, and Tracy is irresistibly drawn to her. But Evie is deeply troubled.
Hunter plays Tracy's mother, Melanie, who has troubles of her own. A recovering alcoholic, she has a feckless addict for a boyfriend, and she toils from home as a hairdresser to make ends meet. Now her daughter, with whom she recently felt a close bond, is slipping away from her. Yet she's a tolerant, loving, liberal mother; it's not much of a stretch to imagine what Melanie was like as a teenager herself.
"So she has her own latent adolescent war with herself, which doesn't help her to see her own child's problems clearly," Hunter says. "Melanie is living out her own torture and instability. She's struggling with adulthood."
While Thirteen has been praised for breaking new ground and tackling its subject matter head-on, Hunter, who is childless, begs to differ. "Even if children don't go through the same extreme upheaval as this girl, every culture has celebrated the rite of passage into adulthood with some kind of formality and respect," she says. "But we've erased rites of passage in modern culture.
"Still, this event occurs at some point in a person's life where there's a separation between parents and child. There's a desire from the child to join the world, and that joining and separating can be cataclysmic. It can happen at age 25 or at age 13. People say the film expresses something new. I think it expresses something absolutely timeless."
Thirteen happened astonishingly fast. Hardwicke and Reed began writing the script in March last year, and finished in April, when Hunter read it and agreed to participate. Shot in June and July, it was first shown last January at the Sundance Festival, where it received rave reviews. "One thing this film has going for it is momentum," says Hunter. "Reading it, it had a real urgency on the page, and it comes out that way. It feels like breaking news. It's a galvanising element, and audiences seem to smell that."
At this point, Hardwicke, a tall, tanned hippyish woman with blonde dreadlocks, enters the room to bid Hunter good morning. She cradles the actress in her arms. "Good morning, Miss Thing," coos Hardwicke. Oddly, Hunter looks like a tiny daughter in a mother's embrace.
She grew up the youngest of seven on a cattle farm, graduated from university with a drama degree, then headed off to New York. There, she met the Southern playwright Beth Henley (they were stuck together in a jammed lift) and appeared in several of her plays, such as Crimes of the Heart and The Miss Firecracker Contest.
One of her flatmates in Manhattan was actress Frances McDormand, then dating filmmaker Joel Coen (they later married). The Coen brothers wrote the role of Ed, the broody but barren prison officer in Raising Arizona (1987) specifically for Hunter; her film career was under way.
Though not too high-minded to appear in routine studio films (The Firm, Copycat, Steven Spielberg's Always), Hunter isn't your typical screen queen, and seems more comfortable in quirkier, offbeat movies such as the controversial Crash by director David Cronenberg (whom she greatly admires) and Mike Figgis's split-screen experiment, Timecode.
Above all, she likes to keep working. She makes movies for US TV networks that are not broadcast here, and even embraces the anonymity of American regional theatre. This year she starred at the San José Rep in By the Bog of Cats, a Medea-influenced play by Irish dramatist Marina Carr. Hunter confides that she may also appear on the London stage in 2004.
Off duty, she's a bit of a mystery. She lived in Los Angeles for 10 years, but found it provincial and returned to New York in 2001: "I'm very suited to ultra-urban life." She was married to Oscar-winning cinematographer Janusz Kaminski (he often works with Spielberg and lit Schindler's List), but they are now divorced. Does she live on her own at the moment? "I don't go into that stuff," she says flatly, maintaining silence until the topic changes.
For now, Hunter is concentrating on urging people to see Thirteen, which she regards as an ideal film for parents and teenagers to see together. "It's challenging, but palatable," she says. "People definitely want to talk about it after they see it. Other than having an emotional connection with a movie, that's the best one can hope for – that it inspires talk."

1. Seems Little Expensive But Cheaper
By Kristen Babb from Nebraska on Apr 29, 2011
I was a longtime online purchaser till I stumbled across brilliantstore.com on pricewatch" website. They"ve yet to be beat on prices. There have been times I"ve found they were about two or three dollars more than some one, but once you read a little further you"ll see that brilliantstore includes free FEDEX shipping for items above ??50! Can"t beat them. Fast delivery, order status online is accurate and real time. I"ll recommend these guys to my friends.
2. Do more business in the future
By Jay from District of Columbia on Aug 14, 2010
They always seem to have the lowest price. I've ordered from them twice, both times the stuff comes quickly and in good shape. I haven't had to return or get in any hassle yet so that's why service was only good.
3. Good service and price never lose customers
By Anthony from Maine on Jun 27, 2010
These guys are excellent. Each and every order I have placed has been delivered quickly and accurate. I find here to have the best prices, they're not always the lowest but when you figure s&h they usually are. The one time I did return an item, it was handled fast and my exchange was received the same week! Their customer service is excellent, prices very good. This is one of the few on line retailers that I use as a price standard and I have been so impressed with there service that I almost always buy from them.
By Cody from Modesto, CA on Mar 10, 2010
The battery came 10% charged but per instructions had to be drained over night before being fully charged. After the initial night of draining i plugged that bad boy up and fully charged it up and drained it a couple more times while using it this time and so far it has lasted just as long as my original.
5. Good website
By James from Illinois on Jun 23, 2008
The website is simple to understand and it's easy to complete the purchase, with only one extra page with other products suggestions and then it's pretty straightforward. Shipping and delivery on time, absolutely no problems with packaging and condition of the product when it was received. It works pretty well too, no problems whatsoever.

text: By Carlos Mendez firstname.lastname@example.com ARLINGTON -- They cut a starting guard, lost another to injury and had their starting center unavailable for the first two weeks of training camp. But the Dallas Cowboys don't act like a team short on options in the interior offensive line. They used Phil Costa at center while Andre Gurode recovered from knee surgery. They plugged rookie David Arkin in at a guard spot when Montrae Holland -- last season's backup to the released Leonard Davis -- hurt his back just days into camp. Gurode has come back, but the Cowboys want to keep looking at Costa. And Monday, they threw another rookie, Bill Nagy, into the mix at guard. Nagy, a seventh-round pick out of Wisconsin, practiced with the first team. Costa, Arkin, Nagy, Holland. Options.

Canonbury Primary in Islington will now be placed in special measures, as the Evening Standard revealed last month.
The inspectors' report said: "The school is failing to give pupils an acceptable standard of education and those responsible for leading, managing or governing it are not demonstrating the capacity to secure necessary improvement."
Last year then head teacher Jay Henderson was sacked for viewing porn on school computers.
Though Canonbury's Sats remain above average under new head Matt Britt, it will now be overseen by an Ofsted-appointed committee.
The decline in standards led to complaints from parents, who have included Lord Adonis. Up to 30 of the 70 staff could now go.
Mr Britt said: "I truly believe that with the prompt action governors have supported me to take, we have already laid the foundation for turning Canonbury around."

Gitmo Tribunal: Things Fall Apart
Prosecutors at the war crimes tribunals in Guantanamo Bay can't be feeling very upbeat nowadays. Over the last six months, nearly every decision on the island has gone against the prosecution.
Yesterday was no exception.
A military judge ruled that a detainee's alleged confession couldn't be used in court since it was coerced by Afghan authorities who had threatened to kill the detainee and his family. The threats, the judge ruled, qualified as torture.
The case involves Mohamed Jawad, who was detained as a teenager in Afghanistan after allegedly throwing a grenade at U.S. soldiers in late 2002. Jawad was first arrested by Afghan security officers, who turned up the pressure.
"You will be killed if you do not confess to the grenade attack," they told him, according to Jawad. "We will arrest your family and kill them if you do not confess."
(The judge wrote that he admitted Jawad's statements "into evidence as a remedy for the Government's inability to provide timely discovery to the Defense.")
Jawad's lawyer, Major David Frakt, told us that the (forced and now inadmissible) confession was central to the government's case.
"The only other evidence is some very sketchy and inconsistent statements by Afghan cops who allegedly were eyewitnesses to the crime," Frakt told ProPublica. "However, two of these witnesses have disappeared and the others have serious credibility issues."
We've called the Pentagon for their perspective on the ruling. We'll post their response as soon as we get it.
The ruling is the latest setback of many for the government at Gitmo—and for Jawad's case specifically.
Last month, the prosecutor in Jawad's case resigned in protest, complaining in an affidavit that the government hadn't given the defense all "potentially exculpatory evidence." (As we've reported, six Gitmo prosecutors have now resigned or asked to be reassigned citing the tribunals' unfairness.)
Then, a few days after Jawad's prosecutor resigned, the judge concluded (PDF) that Jawad had been abused at Gitmo. Among other interrogation techniques, Jawad had been subjected to what was known as the "frequent flyer" program. In one two-week period, Jawad—who was a teenager at the time—was moved from cell to cell 112 times. (The judge stated that those "responsible should face appropriate disciplinary action." We have asked the Pentagon whether there has been investigation, but we have yet to hear back.)
In another decision the same day, the judge ruled that the government's main allegation against Jawad, essentially that he's an enemy combatant, isn't itself a war crime. (The judge suggested the government present additional evidence for the charges against Jawad, a move the government is apparently still mulling.)
The next hearing in Jawad's case is set for early December. Assuming, of course, the case makes it that far. "If I were the government," said Stacy Sullivan, who has observed the tribunals for Human Rights Watch, "I would be looking to negotiate a plea because its case is falling apart."
Update: We just heard again from Maj. Frakt, Jawad's lawyer, who told us: "In at least 36 separate interrogations at Guantanamo, Mr. Jawad has denied throwing the hand grenade."

The vaunted Jacksonville running game was almost non-existent as the team rushed for just 42 yards on 17 carries. Conversely the Dolphins offense ran on the Jaguars to the tune of 123 yards on 36 carries.
"They out-physicaled us," Del Rio said in a post-game press conference when asked what happened to his team that many believe to be a Super Bowl contender.
Jacksonville committed two turnovers and missed a field goal. Maurice Jones-Drew fumbled as he was about to score a touchdown early in the second quarter. Cleo Lemon accounted for the other Jaguars turnover as he was intercepted by Joey Thomas. When the starters left the game, the Jaguars trailed 13-0.
This game may have gained holdout first-round pick Derrick Harvey some more leverage as the Jaguars couldn't get anything resembling a pass rush. The team registered no sacks and didn't get close to any of the Miami quarterbacks, despite playing against a very average at best, inexperienced Dolphins offensive line that included Jake Long, who played flawless.

V3Fights: DAVE FERGUSON WEIGHS IN ON MEMPHIS BJJ'S CHANCES ON JUNE 15
There is an old saying… "Iron sharpens iron." That couldn't be more true than when it comes to Memphis Judo and Jiu-Jitsu's gym. On June 15 at Minglewood Hall in Memphis TN, Memphis Judo and Jiu-Jitsu (Memphis BJJ) has five fighters fighting in title fights. Flyweight champion, Hunter Joffre, will look to defend his title for the first time against rival and former teammate, Jesse Parker. Jeremiah Trundle will look to reclaim what was once his when he fights for the interim heavyweight title. And Adam Denton, Justin Edwards, and Jaleel Willis will all look to hold V3 gold for the very first time. Memphis BJJ owner, coach, and pioneer of the sport, Dave Ferguson weighed in on each of his fighter's fights and gave his thoughts on what to expect:
Dave Ferguson: "Memphis Judo & Jiu-Jitsu is very proud to have 5 fighters representing our school for title fights at June 15th's V3 show at Minglewood Hall. Having 5 fighters selected for title fights either to defend a belt or contend for a belt….is a testament to our great set of outstanding coaches such as Joel Gingery, Nathan Pang, Jason McDonald, Alex Meadows, Brian Hall, Jeremy Doty, Jamie Langstaff & Mike Ostrowski. These guys are just as dedicated and focused on fight preparation as the fighters are. Big thanks to V3 for giving these guys a chance to defend or contend for title belts.
Jaleel Willis vs. Tyler Hill (155 Title)
This is a fantastic Main Event for V3. Tyler is a very talented athlete and always dangerous for anyone. Jaleel, who is undefeated, is without a doubt one of the most gifted amateur fighters in the Mid-South area. He brought great wrestling skills to the sport of MMA when he first started, and has since worked diligently on his ground game, both offensively and defensively, as well as working on his striking. He will also be the stronger of the two for sure. Jaleel's will to prepare and constantly improve his skill set is what sets him apart from many other amateur fighters in this area. This fight will be very competitive, but I feel Jaleel will have too many tools for Tyler to deal with for 3 rounds. I haven't seen many fighters as hungry for a belt around their waist than Jaleel Willis.
Hunter Joffre vs. Jesse Parker (125 Title)
Hunter, who is undefeated, is young, feisty, tough and determined…Though his best quality is his heart. He showed unbelievable heart in his fight against a very tough Chance Wilson. Hunter will never ever give up or wilt in a fight. I have seen Jesse wilt many times in fights and in training. I do feel that Hunter has the better skills in all areas, however, if their skills were equal (which they're not) this fight will be won by Hunter on heart
Adam Denton vs. Jesse Sanderson (145 Title)
Adam, who is undefeated, is the most blue collar, workman-like amateur fighter in the entire Mid-South. He impresses me just as much with his character and work ethic as his fighting ability. Adam has very well rounded skills in all areas and is always seeking knowledge with his BJJ, wrestling and striking. I don't know a lot about Jesse Sanderson as a fighter, but I do know he has a very good coach in Burge Franks. I'm sure Burge will have him well prepared. Even though people think Adam is a huge favorite in this fight, I guarantee you Adam does not feel this way. He always sees himself as the underdog and will always fight like he has nothing to lose. Very difficult to beat a guy like that.
Justin Edward vs. Adam Osborne (170 Title)
Justin, who is undefeated, is a tall, lanky, southpaw who has very good accuracy and power with his striking. His BJJ game is good as wel,l though he hasn't had a chance to show it much. He may have to use his BJJ game against Adam Osborne who comes from a good BJJ school. Either on the ground or standing Justin will be in his comfort zone.
Jeremiah Trundle vs. Brian Meeks (HW Title)
Trundle always entertains and is a fan favorite. I feel that Trundle is realizing that he has a lot of potential in this sport and what kind of time and dedication that takes. He is refocused and hungry for a spectacular win on June 15th. His opponent is the perfect guy for Trundle to make his return against. He fights a lot like Trundle and is experienced. That being said, Trundle can KO anyone at anytime, and that's what I fully expect to happen in this fight.

James, Cavs KO Celts, set up rematch vs. Warriors
(The Sports Xchange) - LeBron James and the defending champion Cleveland Cavaliers are headed back to the NBA Finals.
Free-swinging Josh Hamilton provided the fireworks and pitcher Yu Darvish lit up the mound on a stormy evening in Texas as the Rangers thumped the Anaheim Angels 10-3 on Friday.
While thunder echoed above the Rangers Ballpark, Hamilton's booming bat made the most noise in the arena as the Texas slugger cracked a pair of home runs to give him eight big blasts in five games.
Hamilton's explosive night overshadowed a gritty display by expensive acquisition Darvish with the Japanese rookie sensation improving his record to 5-1.
Despite another extraordinary night at the plate, Hamilton was more interested in talking about his pitcher, who waited out a long rain delay to return to the mound and secure the win.
"I was proud of him (Darvish) coming back out there and just sticking it out and doing what you got to do," Hamilton told reporters. "It says a lot to his team mates about him as player and a competitor."
The first of 19 meetings this season between the American League West rivals expected to battle for the division crown promised a fascinating clash packed with intriguing sub-plots.
The game offered up something for every baseball taste, including a showdown between sluggers Hamilton and Albert Pujols, and a pitching duel between C.J. Wilson, who led the Texans to two World Series appearances before signing for Anaheim, and the man who replaced him in the Rangers rotation.
"The outside perception is (that this series is bigger than normal)," Rangers manager Ron Washington said. "But it's just a day on the schedule and it happens to be the Angels.
"It's not going to make us feel any different about the team we think we have if we lose the series."
While Washington downplayed the evening's significance, it is not hard to understand why the three-game series is completely sold out and has attracted national attention.
For nearly a decade, the rivals have dominated the division and both conducted off-season shopping sprees in an effort to maintain their supremacy.
Texas went "all in" and out-bid several teams for Darvish's services while Anaheim opened up their wallet to sign Pujols, snaring the biggest free agent on the market with a staggering 10-year, $240 million deal.
The Rangers (22-11) have lived up to expectations, settling in at the top of the division with the best record in the league but the big-spending Angels have received precious little bang for their buck, anchored at the bottom of the West standings.
Hamilton, who has battled drug and alcohol addiction throughout his career and suffered a relapse just prior to the start of Spring Training, has put the spotlight back on his play with a jaw-dropping display of power.
With the help of a record-tying four home runs in a single game against the Baltimore Orioles on Tuesday, Hamilton leads the major leagues with 17 homers and 40 RBI.
While Hamilton has climbed back on the wagon with devastating results, Pujols has fallen into a horrendous slump.
One home run is not the production the Angels (14-19) were expecting from a three-time National League MVP, who has 446 career homers (445 of them with the St Louis Cardinals) and never fewer than 32 in a single major league season.
Washington, however, said he would do his best not to disturb Pujols from his early season slumber.
"I'm not buying it," said Washington, who watched Pujols slug three home runs in Game Three of last year's World Series against the St Louis Cardinals. "You don't shut down Pujols.
"As a baseball player, all it takes is for you to step into the box and one guy toeing the rubber to give you your stuff back and I certainly don't want to be the team that gives it to him."
Pujols endured another unproductive night, going hitless in four at-bats while the anticipated pitching duel between Darvish and Wilson fizzled out early.
When the action resumed after a nearly two-hour rain delay, Wilson was out of the game, the Angels opting not to risk the arm of their ace and ending the showdown after less than one inning, leaving Texans fans to vent their anger elsewhere.
Wilson's work lasted just one third of an inning but it was long enough to be saddled with the loss as he surrendered four runs on three hits.

As the head of marketing, do small beads of perspiration break out on your forehead when you hear the dreaded phrase: "It's time to redesign our website?"
Those who've been through this process know they're likely to be in for months of late nights, budget blowouts, endless delays and revisions, and worst of all, a final site that's already out of date.
Websites are the keystone marketing asset as firms wrestle with the shift to digital. Digital transformation is at the top of the agenda for senior executives. Businesses are under increasing pressure to innovate and transform their revenue generation processes, technology and skills. They must match the emerging new world order where the customer is in control of their purchase cycle.
Marketing is sitting at the epicentre of the maelstrom and is increasingly being asked to look after a greater proportion of the customer's journey. Marketers today are holding the buyer's hand deep into their decision-making process before handing over to sales. Up to 70 per cent of the buying journey is complete before a buyer will connect with a salesperson. This has fundamental implications for your website design.
In this environment, we need to think about a different approach to website design.
Growth-driven design is a smarter way to think about website design that positions your website as a core component of an integrated marketing strategy.
Your website should be just one of the assets you use to manage your entire Web presence. Your buyers may find you in a myriad different ways, via a direct URL, a Google search, a LinkedIn post or recommendation, or your monthly newsletter. For the user, this experience must appear and feel seamless and natural.
Beyond being your Web presence, your website should be integrated into your full funnel, and become a central element in attracting and converting visitors into leads and onto becoming prospects for the sales team. In other words, a deliberate part of your revenue generation engine.
For this reason, many firms are planning full integration between their website, marketing automation and CMS technologies.
Websites must be dynamic and evolve based on user data gathered from your site. They need to be regularly optimised, not refreshed every two years. The implications of this approach are clear. The CMS must have top-notch tracking, data gathering and easy to implement reporting.;

Family struggles with loss of six-month-old
Funeral arrangements are being made for a 6-month-old boy who died Monday after succumbing to injuries sustained three days earlier, allegedly at the hands of his mother's live-in boyfriend.
While the baby's family struggles to cope with the loss, members said Wednesday they are also trying to raise the funds to pay for the boy's funeral. The funeral will be held March 28 at 10:30 a.m. at the First Methodist Church in Manhattan. There will be a viewing from 9:30-10 a.m. that will be open to the public.
Police were first called to the boy's home at Parkside Apartments in Ogden shortly before 6 p.m. Friday for a report that the boy, Dominick Lubrano, was not breathing. The next morning, they arrested Michael Dechant, 19, who lives at the complex with the boy's mother, Sabrina Lubrano, on a charge of aggravated battery in connection with the baby's injuries.
When Dominick died Monday morning, those charges were amended to first-degree murder and child abuse.
Members of the boy's family said the child was left with Dechant, as had been the case several times previously, while his mother bought groceries. Lubrano said she was only gone for six minutes on that errand Friday afternoon.
In that time, emergency personnel were called to the scene to treat the child for injuries that were originally diagnosed as a broken jaw.
Nancy Small, the boy's great-grandmother, said the family does not believe Dominick was abused previously and adds that the alleged beating came as a shock. She said the family's impression of the boyfriend was of a soft-spoken, well-mannered and trustworthy person.
Lubrano said that in the days since Dominick's death she has been feeling lost and confused. "I just want him back," she said, holding a smiling photo of her with Dominick and his older brother, who is one and a half.
"It's been horrible knowing he was just alive and I was just holding him," Angela Adams, Dominick's grandmother, said. But she said she is thankful that she was able to hold the boy one last time at the hospital.
Dominick was flown to Children's Mercy in Kansas City from Manhattan's Mercy Regional Health Center on Friday.
"Little Dominick was such a beautiful baby," Small said. "He is in God's hands."
According to Lubrano's next-door neighbor, it was Dechant who called the police at the neighbor's behest after he brought the child to her apartment on Friday.
She said that he appeared to be in shock and had trouble understanding what the dispatchers were telling him.
At the instructions of the dispatcher, the neighbor attempted to resuscitate the baby as emergency responders were sent.
Dechant is confined to the Riley County Jail on $1 million bond. His next court hearing is scheduled for Tuesday, March 26.
Readers can send donations to any Kansas State Bank branch in care of the Dominick James Lubrano Memorial Fund or send donations to the Yorgensen-Meloan-Londeen Funeral Home, 1616, Poyntz Ave., Manhattan, Kansas, 66502.

Home › Forums › General Forums › General Lightweight Backpacking Discussion › August Backpacking Trip in Utah (?!)
Jun 7, 2012 at 2:43 pm #1290800
Adrian SwansonSpectator
@storunner13Locale: Upper Midwest
A group of friends an I are on our third annual backpacking trip. We've been to the Grand Canyon in April 2010, then Glacier National Park in July 2011, and somewhere along the line we decided to do Utah in 2012. Unfortunately, the only free dates are August 4th – 12th. Needless to say, Utah in August does not sound like fun..
So–Two options:
Hike in very specific spots in the Utah Canyons to minimize any suffering in the heat. I was thinking higher altitudes in the Escalante Drainage area, or perhaps some canyoneering in watery canyons in Zion.
Pick a different location for our trip. We're coming from Minnesota, with a 'base' in Colorado Springs. Some ideas I've considered are: Hiking some Mountains in Colorado (though 1 of the company has done that often), Grand Teton NP, Yellowstone, or even going all the way to the far Northwest (maybe Olympic)…though the drive to and from would be LONG..especially after driving to CS.
We can't decide. UT seems FANTASTIC, but perhaps the misery would make it less so. Any advice, suggestions, or persuasions would be very helpful.Jun 7, 2012 at 7:28 pm #1885088

Yeah, August is rough outside of the mountains, and definitely the peak of monsoon season…
Consider the Winds or Uintas?Jun 7, 2012 at 7:51 pm #1885096

Capitol reef is a backpacking park. It is actually one of the northernmost parks in Utah. The lowest elevation is slightly less than 4k. I looked at the average high in August . It is 89. I have been hiking in 95 degree weather here in Fl since early May.
This park is beautiful with lots of backcountry trails. It is one of the most overlooked parks in the nps. Most of the visitors just drive thru the scenic drive for one day and then leave.
You will need to carry a good amount of water with you. But the flip side is that your overall kit will be sooooooo minimal. The only weight will be water and food.
There are some hikes that have water sources on them. But be prepared to carry water.
I went last sept / October and loved it. Spent a week there and felt like I barely touched the surface. Thinking abou going back in sept this year.Jun 7, 2012 at 8:02 pm #1885098

@brendansLocale: Fruita CO
Escalante area is well watered and would be good. Last July we did Boulder Mail Trail from Escalante to Death Hollow and the river back to town. Great trip. Dark Canyon (lower part) is great in summer with some great swimming holes.Jun 8, 2012 at 7:39 am #1885205
David ChenaultSpectator
@davecLocale: The West Slope
I've done plenty of canyoneering in high Utah summer, and while it was (for example) sweet to do full Neon without a wetsuit, we waited in the cathedral for hours before it seemed sane to hike back to the car out in the sun. In your shoes I would either:
-go hike in the Weminuche.
-go canyoneering in Zion (crowded, and as Dan mentioned the monsoon can be a headache)
-go hike in the Uintas. They're often overlooked and once away from King's Peak tend to be pretty empty. Quality alpine with a different flavor than Colorado.Jun 8, 2012 at 8:35 am #1885226

@davidpasseyLocale: New York City
Did the Death Hollow hike last August (except we started from Hells Backbone, and hiked downriver to Hwy 12.)
A very nice hike, with water all the way, so the heat isn't oppressive. Plus, some of the nicest swimming holes you'll ever find. Lots of springs pouring into the Death Hollow, some really neat. The spring at the beginning of perennial water is a huge clear pool, and from there on down water literally pours out of the rock in a number of places. A real southern Utah classic, without all the traffic you'll find in other more popular areas.
One qualification–if you start from Hells Backbone, there is a very long, hot hike till you hit perennial water. Unless you're after canyoneering, this upper section is easily avoided by hiking in at the Boulder Mail Trail.
If go in from Hells Backbone, bring a small inflatable pool float and a short section of rope or webbing (25ft?). There are some long deep sections of narrows, and having the option of floating your pack is welcome. Also, a few pour-overs require the rope.Jun 8, 2012 at 12:07 pm #1885283

Uintas is a good idea…but I haven't heard of The Winds. Is that in UT as well?
Capitol Reef also seems to be better than some of the more popular UT options. I'll have to do a little more research on that this weekend.
How late in July were you in Escalante? It seems like a VERY neat place to explore, with plenty of water, water holes (as you noted), and desert wilderness. Taking a closer look at the weather averages it averages around a max of 90 during that first week in August.
It looks like the key to doing Utah in August is finding some higher elevation. Escalante (at least the city) is 5-6k. Capitol Reef is about there too. Hiking the Uintas would put us above 7k…which would probably be pretty comfortable.
Thanks for the input! If you have any other suggestions to make this trip more enjoyable let me know…!Jun 8, 2012 at 12:45 pm #1885299

Wind Rivers are in Wyoming, running along the continental divide southeast of the Tetons. Headwaters of the Green River. Home to Gannet Peak and countless other beautiful peaks. 6 hours or less to most trailheads from Salt Lake, probably similar from FoCo?
In short, stunningly beautiful, but in August you will have horrendous bugs (maybe not this year, if it dries out early?)
The possibilities in the Winds or in the Uintas are neverending, and both have the advantage of no permit issues, great fishing, and fantastic opportunities for cross country travel and solitude if you are willing to walk off the trail a half mile.
