- You wish to see savage...? I will show you savage!
- -- Black Condor src
John Trujillo, alias Black Condor is the third hero to take up the mantle. John is a man of Mayan descent who was given wind and earth powers by Tocotl, the Spider Goddess. He has joined Uncle Sam's Freedom Fighters to protect America. He first appears when he single handedly rescues Uncle Sam and the other Freedom Fighters who had been defeated by agents of S.H.A.D.E.. Trujillo is very serious and seems somewhat uncomfortable interacting with other people.
Powers and Abilities
- Divine Empowerment: John was given the hereditary powers of the Black Condor by Tocotl, a Mayan Spider Goddess.
- Flight: Tocatl gave Black Condor black feathery wings, which sprout from his shoulders. With them, he has the ability to fly at great speeds
- Aerokinesis: He also has the ability to manipulate the wind. He can create large blasts of air that can cover city blocks. He can spin the winds into a whirlwind, knocking out creatures with concussive force.
- Superhuman Strength: Black Condor also draws strength from the Earth, giving him superhuman strength, agility, and a higher resilience to pain.
- Superhuman Speed:
- Dialogue between John and Phantom Lady hints that he may be a virgin. [citation needed]

In the statement published yesterday on the 23rd of September, the activists confirmed their peaceful struggle and thus their choice to protest on that day comes to translate their principal. The picture above is the invitation circulating online.

UNDERSTANDING THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN KNOWING AND FEELING ABOUT NATURE AND PRESQUE ISLEDecember 12, 2011 9:10 am 3 Comments
Earlier this summer I became reacquainted with what I have heard referred to as that old codger who walks on the park. Let's just call him Ed. I have known Ed for a number of years, even so, had not seen him for quite a while. Ed walks on Presque Isle with a few of his pals about three days a week. He loves Presque Isle.
He always speaks fondly and authoritatively about the wildlife, birds and plants found on the park. Now, he does not really know many of the birds and plants actual names, and often sees wildlife that really does not live on the park. However, to his pals, he is THE Presque Isle expert. Sometimes the "facts" he talks about are a bit out of whack, and I am sure that the experienced bird watcher or naturalist would discount much of his wisdom.
I, however, have a simple question that I like to use in situations such as this. "Would you rather be happy or right?" Ed worships and enjoys birds and everything about Presque Isle. Can he name the birds? That answer is a definitive "NO." My second question is does it matter? He and his pals are extremely happy with Ed's expert status.
One morning a few years ago, I remember watching him while his eyes filled with delight as a flock of Canada Geese passed overhead. He was totally absorbed in the way they shifted within their formation and slowly banked into the area around Leo's Landing. It took Ed a full two or three minutes to bring himself back from the experience. He enjoys his encounters on Presque Isle, and that is all that counts.
I have always appreciated the way he loves and enjoys Presque Isle. I think he has the right approach to his walks. Sometimes, a causal approach to living a happy life is much more important than being a purely scientific observer.
Just go for a walk. Avoid categorizing everything you see; instead, focus on feeling closeness with everything you experience. If you look at what you see as though you are perceiving it for the first time, but with a child's eyes, you will get a new awareness of wonder from Presque Isle.
Visit and experience Presque Isle year-round and gain a fresh new perspective.

NCGR Research Faculty
Callum J. Bell, Ph.D., President
Dr. Bell's main interest is in turning advances in genome sequencing into changes in clinical practice. He joined NCGR in 2008 to work on a carrier screening test to identify couples at risk of having children with severe Mendelian diseases. In plant genomics Dr. Bell leads NCGR's contribution to the Northwest Advanced Renewables Alliance, a $40 million USDA grant aimed at developing biofuels from forestry waste products. He is also the principal investigator of a project funded by the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation to sequence the transcriptomes of several hundred marine eukaryotic microbes.
Joann Mudge, Ph.D., Senior Research Scientist
Dr. Mudge works on structural genomics, studying how genomes are organized and how genome structure controls gene expression and phenotypes. Her main areas of focus include plants (especially legumes) and plant pathogens. She was part of the team that sequenced the leguminous Medicago truncatula genome. Further, she is a co-PI on an NSF-funded Medicago truncatula Hapmap project which recently resequenced over 300 M. truncatula accessions and is currently generating de novo assemblies for 25 accessions. Dr. Mudge is also a co-PI on an NSF-funded Maize Recombination project looking at the genomic structure underlying recombination in corn. She recently completed assembly of genomes in cotton and a plant pathogen, uncovering in the latter a loss of heterozygosity-based mechanism for rapid evolution. Dr. Mudge has also worked in human genomics, playing a major role in the sequencing of the 6th ever genome (of a Korean individual) and of female monozygotic twins discordant for multiple sclerosis.
Andrew Farmer, Bioinformatics Fellow
Mr. Farmer's interests focus on plant genomics with an emphasis on agricultural systems important to global food security and environmental stability. He collaborates with academic and industry partners to characterize diversity in deep germplasm collections and in many "orphan" species, and to develop new reference data sets or leverage resources from well-studied crops or model systems. His aspirations include contributing to the understanding of genotype/phenotype correlations using integrative analytical and visualization techniques encompassing both the dimension of the diversity of datatypes such as transcriptome and epigenetic profiling, and the dimension of intra-organismal diversity.
Anitha Sundararajan, Ph.D., Research Scientist
NCGR Adjunct Faculty
Greg D. May, Ph.D., Research Fellow
Dr. May's interests are in the understanding of the recruitment of genes to serve new biological functions and in the biology of the genome. When novel organs or biological functions such as vision evolve, genes are often recruited to serve new purposes. Lens proteins in the eye, for example, were recruited from metabolic enzymes and in some instances still retain metabolic activity. Plant genome duplication or increased ploidy facilitates genome plasticity and the opportunity for genes to be recruited to serve novel functional roles. The effect of these duplication events on the biology of the genome, in particular, the molecular mechanisms, such as DNA methylation and histone modification employed to compensate for changes in genome content are also of interest.
Stephen Kingsmore, MB, ChB, BAO, DSc, FRCPath, Research Fellow
Dr. Stephen F. Kingsmore was appointed Director of the Children's Mercy Center for Pediatric Genomic Medicine in January 2011. He was named one of the best physicians of 2012 by Medscape. Previously, Dr. Kingsmore was variously the President, CEO and Chief Scientific Officer of the National Center for Genome Resources, Santa Fe, New Mexico. Prior to this, Dr. Kingsmore was Chief Operating Officer of Molecular Staging Inc., Vice President of Research of CuraGen Corp. and Assistant Professor at the University of Florida. Dr. Kingsmore received a B.Sc. in medical microbiology, degrees in medicine (M.B., Ch.B., B.A.O.) and D.Sc. in molecular genetics from the Queen's University Belfast in Northern Ireland. He completed residency in Internal Medicine and fellowship in Rheumatology at Duke. Dr. Kingsmore is a Fellow of the Royal College of Pathologists (UK) and a member of the DHHS Secretary's Advisory Committee on Heritable Disorders in Newborns and Children Carrier Screening Workgroup. His research interests are genome analysis, systems surveys and individualized medicine.
Norman G. Lewis, Ph.D., Research Fellow
Dr. Lewis was initially trained in chemistry (natural product/organic chemistry/biochemistry specializations) receiving B.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees from the University of Strathclyde (Glasgow) and University of British Columbia, where he received ICI and NATO/SRC scholarships to support his studies. He next worked with Professor (Sir) Alan R. Battersby on Vitamin B12 biosynthesis at the University of Cambridge through NRC (Canada) post-doctoral support, prior to taking up a NRC (Canada) Research Associate position. Dr. Lewis has also previously held positions as Group Leader at PAPRICAN (Pulp and Paper Research Institute of Canada), and as Associate Professor at Virginia Tech.His research has largely been supported by the U.S. Department of Energy, National Aeronautics and Space Administration, National Institutes of Health, National Science Foundation, U.S. Department of Agriculture, as well as from Thomas G. and Anita Hargrove Foundation, and the Arthur M. and Katie Eisig-Tode Foundation. Dr. Lewis has also received support from NSERC (Canada), Tembec (Canada), ICI, McMillan Bloedel (Canada), NATO/SRC, Philip Morris Tobacco Company and many other funding entities.
Craig Beattie, Ph.D., Program Leader
Matthew Fields, Ph.D. Research Fellow
Dr. Matthew Fields is an associate professor in the Department of Microbiology at Montana State University. His lab is in the Center for Biofilm Engineering, and he is also associated with the Thermal Biology Institute and the Energy Research Institute at Montana State University. His laboratory uses molecular ecology to study microbial communities associated with different environments in the field that include subsurface sediments, groundwater, coal, and industrial environments. Laboratory work includes sulfate-reducing bacteria, methanogens, and lipid-producing algae, and these types of organisms are important to bioremediation, metal corrosion, and biofuel production, respectively. Ultimately, a driving question is to understand the relationships between structure and function at different scales of biology and how ecological and physiological responses help shape the structure and function relationships. An improved understanding of structure/function relationships will allow predictive modeling and design for a variety of natural and engineered systems.
Matthew Bellgard, Ph.D., Research Fellow
Professor Bellgard is Murdoch University's Bioinformatics Chair and Director of the Western Australian State Government Centre of Excellence, the Centre for Comparative Genomics. His scientific work has resulted in developments in both the areas of pairwise sequence alignment and artificial intelligence, bacterial bioformatics, whole genome comparative analysis and annotation for a range of species, as well as advances in the development of web-based integrated systems utilizing high performance computing. Major discoveries include vaccine candidates in bacteria and cattle tick, evolutionary mechanisms in bacterial genomes, molecular plant breeding, new computational bioinformatics tools and the development of integrated web-based systems for human health and agricultural applications. Current research interests are human rare diseases, food security (biosecurity, crop improvement, host/pathogen interaction and weed research) and cattle tick genomics.

The one everyone's been talking about...
A few thoughts:
Even though I was so tired I thought I was gonna hurl in the third round, I don't look as knackered as I expected to look. Eye's a bit fucked though, eh?
Artem hits like a beast. That shot that did the damage was the second punch at around 13:40 and it doesn't look much but look at the mess it caused. Was winded by a knee in the third too but I did a good job of hiding it, you can't really tell haha.
Round one and the low single at 8:07 were pretty good.
Workmanlike I'd say, did what I had to do to win against a very dangerous guy, and one of my favourite fighters on the circuit. Was mad to be in there against him when I called his last fight (two rounds down, wins with some ruthless punches early in round three - it was sounding all too familiar....)
Big thanks to Artem for the fight - super cool guy, as are the rest of the SBG dudes.
Thanks to everyone who supported me on Twitter and what not, really appreciate it!
Good performance from Jay, diligent and relentless with the wrestling with a few moments of brilliance, the low single being the highlight then on the ground it was real solid, good consistent use of underhooks and pressure to not give Artem space then when Artem recovered guard Jay's posture was good
Always like watching both guys fight
Thanks Brett. Using pressure, leverage and a consistent grind was what got me through that fight. Couldn't really play it any other way - he's a tough guy to prepare for, let alone a tough guy not to prepare for!
looking forward to checking this out.
Solid and very measured performance. Loved the ankle pick! Reminded me of Sakuraba!
Your eye didn't look too good tho. Everything ok i.e. no lasting damage?
Very good wrestling from jay and a great win.
Great win, good control and given the cirumstances- Hats off to you. True Warrior
Cheers dudes <3
Stitches out but I am still a cyborg!

Beware the Civil War relic: It could be stolen - or a fake
By Jeffrey Roth
GETTYSBURG, Pennsylvania (Reuters) - With 250,000 visitors expected to converge on the Gettysburg battlefields this week, historians and antiquarians say the 150th anniversary of the clash that defined the U.S. Civil War has prompted an increased interest in Civil War relics — and an apparent uptick in the thefts and faking of conflict memorabilia.
While there are no national statistics about thefts of war mementos, museums and law enforcement officers around the nation have reported a range of incidents involving the plundering of Civil War artifacts.
The thievery even extended to the current Gettysburg re-enactment, where criminals made off with a trailer containing war items valued at $10,000 in Frederick County, Maryland, last month.
Cheri Gainor, owner of the missing goods, is portraying a camp laundress in the Gettysburg battle commemoration on July 4-7. Among the rare items taken, she said, were a 150-year-old washing dolly — a wooden device used to agitate water in a washing barrel — as well as a number of mini-irons for cuffs and collars.
In Burke County, Georgia, thieves plundered the graves of Confederate soldiers in the Old Church Cemetery, prying open caskets — presumably, according to cemetery oversee Leroy Matthew Bell Jr., in the hope of finding relics to sell. Burke County police have arrested two men in connection with the April incident.
In downtown Lexington, Kentucky, determined thieves went to even greater extremes by stealing an iron prison gate from the Hunt-Morgan House, a museum that houses an extensive collection of civil war relics, in May. Sheila O. Ferrell, executive director of the Blue Grass Trust, which runs the museum, said the 400-pound gate, a remnant from the Ohio State Penitentiary, which once held Confederate General John Hunt-Morgan, was almost immovable. It was the museum's third theft this year. A $1,500 reward has been offered for recovery of the gate.
Stephen W. Sylvia, a military historian, author and antique store owner in Orange, Virginia, attributed the rising popularity of relics to the anniversary of the war and the popularity of movies such as "Lincoln."
Prices for Civil War relics vary widely, Sylvia said. An authentic minie-ball, a cylindrical bullet named for its French army officer inventor, Claude-Etienne Minie, starts at around $3, while a Confederate uniform button can go for $150. A uniform can sell for thousands, and a sword may fetch more than $20,000. Continued...

De Blasio Marches in Queens St. Patrick's Day Parade
Mayor Bill de Blasio marched in a parade known as St. Pat's for All, while planning a boycot of Manhattan's annual St. Patrick's Day parade.
"My approach has been to embrace parades that are inclusive and that's the standard we're going to hold," de Blasio said.
He's planning to skip the St. Patrick's Day parade along Fifth Avenue because parade organizers won't allow groups to identify themselves publicly as gay. City Council Speaker Melissa Mark-Viverito and Public Advocate Letitia James are also boycotting the event.
Police Commissioner Bill Bratton said he will march in the parade. That's okay with de Blasio, who said he respects everyone's right to make their own decision.
Mayor de Blasio's predecessor, Michael Bloomberg, marched in both parades.

Sidewalk Cafés
These standards apply to all new sidewalk cafés in the right-of-way. SDOT has the discretion to approve modifications to these standards or require conditions to the permit given specific site characteristics.
The sidewalk café must be accessible and detectable per American with Disabilities Act (ADA) guidelines.
Any sidewalk café less than 75 square feet must have an entrance/exit directly to the public place. If a sidewalk café has an area of 75 square feet or more and does not have an entrance/exit directly to the public place, the applicant will be required to obtain an additional DPD permit.
1. A minimum of 6 feet of clear path of travel is required on all sidewalks located within the Downtown Urban Center. A minimum of 5 feet of clear path of travel is required on all other sidewalks. The clear path of travel is measured from the outside edge of the sidewalk café fencing or fence post base to the nearest obstruction (i.e., tree pit, parking meter, bike rack, planting strip, etc.). If no obstruction exists, the clear path of travel is measured to the back of the curb. Sidewalk cafés may not encroach into tree pits. A-frame, portable signs or any other encroachment is not allowed in the pedestrian clear path of travel.
The Director may require more than the minimum clear path of travel when needed to facilitate the public's use of the right-of-way. Examples of where the Director may require more than the minimum include, but are not limited to, areas with high peak-period pedestrian volumes, areas where more specific planning and analysis suggests a wider clear path of travel is necessary, areas where approved street design plans call for additional width, or areas with transit loading zones, public plazas, art installations, and access points where large volumes of pedestrians circulate.
2. The pedestrian path of travel should be straight and not involve sharp or jagged turns that would impair pedestrian circulation.
3. A sidewalk café width should not exceed the available pedestrian clear path of travel width. The Director may, in his or her sole discretion, allow the area of the sidewalk café to extend beyond the available pedestrian clear path of travel width when adjacent to one of the following:
4. If the sidewalk café causes a change in pedestrian travel, appropriate repairs to the right-of-way in the immediate vicinity may be required to accommodate the change or to assure compliance with the ADA. An additional Street Use Construction permit must be obtained to perform any required repair work. (SMC 15.16.040(B)(10))
5.Electrical cords or strings of lights may not be strung over or be placed on the pedestrian path of travel.
Setbacks are required from the following elements. These elements must be clearly identified on the required site plan in the permit application.
A clear path of travel must be maintained from any building exit, equal in width to the exit door. This path of travel must be free of obstructions, including gates of any type, and connect the building exit to the sidewalk.
Sidewalk cafés will not require a change to the occupancy permit for the associated business, provided the following standards are met:
Fencing is required to delineate the sidewalk café from the pedestrian path of travel. The following design standards apply to fencing:
Seating platforms and other structures are discouraged from the public place and a separate Street Use permit must be applied for any time additional items beyond the sidewalk café fencing, including seating platforms, are proposed to be installed in the public place. Additional permitting and review will be required by SDOT for all proposed seating platforms and additionally from DPD if the seating platform surface is 18 inches or more in height above existing grade at any point. Only sites that require leveling due to site topography will be considered by SDOT for approval for an additional Street Use seating platform permit. When allowed, seating platforms should not be higher than what is required to level the site. Seating platforms must be temporary in nature and removable, with no lasting damage to the sidewalk or public place. The following design standards apply:
1. Seating platforms may generally not be 18 inches or more in height above existing grade at any point. Additional height may be allowed, depending on site topography characteristics, and will require additional DPD review and/or permit. Refer to Section III.D for when other DPD review would be required.
2. Seating platforms must be wheelchair accessible, as required by Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) guidelines, and must provide a fixed railing and other safety measures in accordance with Seattle Building Code ( SBC) Section 1607.7 and ANSI 117.1.
3. All seating and tables on the seating platform must be movable to accommodate wheelchair access.
4. All visible portions of the seating platform and its railing and footings should be constructed with high-quality finish materials (such as steel, glass or finish woods).
5. Street use permit applications for seating platforms are required to have the following:
6. For seating platforms less than 18 inches in height for which a DPD permit was not required, applicant must submit a letter stamped by a registered design professional to SDOT, confirming that the seating platform was installed per the Seattle Building Code (SBC), Chapter 11, Accessibility, and other applicable regulations including, but not limited to, SBC Section 1607.7 and International Code Council A117.1. Letter must be submitted to SDOT within one week of installation of seating platform.
Where seating platforms are used, potted plants, planter boxes or other landscaping is required at either end to delineate it from the rest of the sidewalk or public place. These planters must be contained within the footprint of the approved sidewalk café dimensions. Landscaping may be no higher than 42 inches and may not encroach on the clear path of travel required in subsection I of this Rule.
Heating elements and free-standing umbrellas are allowed within the footprint of the permitted café, but may not encroach on the clear path of travel required in subsection IV.B of this Rule, except that when opened, an umbrella may encroach on the clear path of travel if the opened portion is more than 8 feet above sidewalk grade and if no part of the umbrella is within 25 feet of a stop sign. Heating elements must be of a type permitted by the Seattle Fire Marshall and must be temporary in nature and easily removable.
Sidewalk café seating is allowed adjacent to the curb only if:
Installation and use of speakers and other amplified sound equipment is not allowed.
Sidewalk café must be in compliance with all Washington State Liquor Control Board (WSLCB) laws, subject to WSLCB enforcement

Cloudy with a Chance of Robots
"Just don't call them drones. People in the business dislike that word, which brings to mind a robot with no pilot; there is a pilot, but not on board."
The New York Times, Feb 1, 2013
There is a growing body of literature—if news reports, essays, blogposts (reflexivity duly noted), etc. constitutes such—concerning the contemporary phenomenon of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles, an easy shorthand for technologically-optimized efficacy in modern warfare. (The epigram is from an article on college-level UAV training from a recent Times Education Supplement.)
But if UAV has the euphemistic ring of a state school or an STD, or a prophylactic measure obliquely related to the latter—the letters 'U' and 'V' tend to suggest as much—common parlance prefers the slangy alternative.1 Drones have increasingly made headlines not only as an indication of America's purported Omega-level superiority in strategically targeted carnage but also as a threat to a justifiably paranoid citizenship. The semantic irony, of course, is that naturally occurring drones are precisely the hive or colony members who do not work, the small fraction of ants or bees whose sole duties are to feed and mate (as opposed to gathering sustenance).2
Yet insofar as its homonymous forms are polysemous—etymologically related despite their semantic divergence—the third meaning of "drone" has particularly relevant subtext for the hapless hoi polloi, an uncannily felicitous connotation for the masses who may be in denial about UAVs.
As a function of human agency, to drone denotes a dull, monotonous manner or tone, colloquially equivalent to 'carrying on,' for which alternate descriptors such as discursive, meandering, aimless, etc. vaguely suggest sense of purposeless motion; second-order associations such as ennui and banality evoke a contrary metaphor of inertia or stasis qua static. This twofold characterization ultimately represents a kind of nothingness, specifically a empty signification, vocalization without peaks or troughs, speech sans the variation or modulation that conveys passion, emotional investment, or, as it were, fallibility.
To drone implies background noise, a low-pitched hum that does not register consciously, rather more subtle than the liminal roar of an airplane engine; not stimulus but possibly its very opposite, a soporific or otherwise anesthetic blanket of white noise. A drone becomes part of the landscape, an ontological given of an environment: in a word, omnipresent—the auditory evidence of existence.
Thus, on one hand, a drone is essentially senseless or meaningless, that which goes unnoticed (albeit not necessarily by design); on the other, to drone connotes persistence, super- (or sub-) human degree of endurance that comes at the expense of intelligence or autonomy.
But if the English Language informs our concept of aerial technology as much as it betrays and elucidates our ambivalence towards a paranoid present, another now-quotidian acronym belies its equally bleak subtext. Almost exactly half a century after Turing's eponymous test entered the lexicon of artificial intelligence, a team at CMU has turned the concept on its head with the CAPTCHA, an oblique insinuation that any upstanding netizen might just be a malicious machine.3 The inverted imperative defines us as that which we are not—bot until proven human—capturing, so to speak, the vague concession that the robots have already won.
Insofar as the current generation of UAVs in service are instruments of mortal hand and eye, these glorified (and lethal) remote-controlled vehicles are not yet autonomous. In fact, both cases underscore the shortcomings of artificial intelligence (cf. employing humans to crack CAPTCHAs), and I was curious to learn of a new service that 'learns' from one's Twitter behavior in order to publish 140-character missives from beyond the grave. Contrary to the social-media-soteriological morbidity of its intended purpose, I can only assume that it would also be possible to use _LivesOn in vivo as well, such that particularly lazy or otherwise uncommitted Twitter users can train their bot-ghosts to emulate their musings for perpetuity.
But I digress: Like its digital analogue, airspace is (for all intents and purposes) infinite, and the point has less to do with whether robots are actually out there than the fact that they are a permanent possibility of our ever-new reality—hovering out of sight as opposed to merely blips on the horizon.
---- --- -- - -- --- ----
Postscript: I initially stumbled upon (or Wiki-walked into) the notion of sousveillance last year, so I was curious to read Mark Hurst's recent rant about Google Glass, a lengthy hypothesis about the new AR gadget in the real world, where it becomes an instrument of sous-surveillance, a quasi-parallel development to mostly legitimate concerns about domestic drones.
---- --- -- - -- --- ----
1.) It should go without saying that capitalized appellations also suggest opaquely abridged defense-related subject matter, cf. DARPA, perhaps the most ominous acronym of all.
2.) I've always been interested in the congruence between the words etymology and entomology, though this is purely serendipitous. It does, however, explain the image.
3.) Issues of identity verification and/or authentication are also paramount, but beyond the scope of this otherwise free association. See also: Captchart.

The England keeper has hailed his side's run in the tournament as a "great achievement" and believes the Citizens contingent in the team will help against the Azzurri forward
Roy Hodgson's side face the Azzurri on Sunday evening, with 21-year-old Balotelli pushing for a return to Cesare Prandelli's starting line-up after coming off the bench to score against Republic of Ireland on Monday.
James Milner is another Manchester City player who looks likely to feature for the Three Lions against the Azzurri, and Hart is looking forward to the prospect of facing Balotelli, but is also wary of the threat posed by his club-mate.
"He could be a great threat, he's a great player," Hart told reporters. "But as well as me knowing him, more importantly Joleon knows him, who he'll probably come up against if he plays.
"It's going to be a totally different occasion, I've never actually played against the guy. But it'll be a lot of fun and it'll be interesting to see what he brings to the table."
The 25-year-old also spoke of the "great achievement" the Three Lions have made by reaching the knockout stage, and revealed the team knew the importance of the opening group game against France.
"[Reaching the quarter-finals is] obviously a great achievement, something we set out to do at the start of the tournament," he added.
"We identified the first game as key, against France, to get off to a good start. We obviously wanted to win it, but to get a draw with a solid performance and then follow it up with the two performances after that is a good start to the tournament for us."

Back in February, I mentioned that Asdrubal's 2011 would tell us a lot about what kind of career he would have and pointed out that one of the closest comparable players, in terms of stats for players through their first 3 seasons in MLB, was no less than Troy Tulowitzki. Admittedly, even I was a little dismissive of the findings, writing this:
Is that to suggest that a Tulowitki-esque leap to superstardom awaits Asdrubal?
Certainly not, but it definitely puts the disappointment of Asdrubal's 2010 (before and after the injury) into some perspective...
Um…well, in light of what's transpiring with Asdrubal this year, perhaps it's time to re-visit this comparison, as outrageous as it may seem at first glance, given Tulo's standing among the MLB elite. Regardless, here are the numbers compiled by each through their first 3 seasons, up to the point when each was 23 years old that prompted the revelation:
Tulowitzki (2006-2008) – 281 games
.276 BA / .346 OBP / .435 SLG / .781 OPS / 96 OPS+ with 99 XBH in 1,082 AB
(XBH = extra base hits)
Asdrubal (2007-2009) – 290 games
.287 BA / .355 OBP / .411 SLG / .766 OPS / 105 OPS+ with 92 XBH in 1,034 AB
Seriously, and that's not even bringing up this season for Asdrubal…
Now it is worth mentioning that Tulowitzki's HR total (33) for that 3-year stretch more than doubled the output (15) by Asdrubal in his first 3 years, but the XBH were on par with each other and it is worth noting that those 3 seasons were accumulated from the time that each was 21 years old through 23 years old.
Of course, Tulo followed up those first 3 seasons with some stat-stuffing years in 2009 (32 HR, .930 OPS, 130 OPS+) and last year (27 HR, .949 OPS, 138 OPS+) while Cabrera's 2010 was undone by a poor start and an ill-fated Jhonny Peralta dive into his forearm.
Yet if you look at what each player did/is doing in their age-25 season, you start to wonder if Cabrera was simply taken off of the track for a short time and if he and Tulowitzki are more similar players than the 2009 and 2010 season for each would suggest. By that I mean that here are Tulowitzki's numbers from 2009, when he was 25 years old:
And now, Asdrubal this season, when his is also 25 years old:
What is interesting there is while Tulo's numbers look better overall, a stat like OPS+ actually says that Asdrubal is having the better year in the context of what's happening offensively in the rest of the league because it uses the rest of MLB as a comparison tool and relates what each player is doing in the context of the rest of MLB. Now, if you project out what Cabrera has compiled over the 2011 season, he projects to finish the season with 33 HR, 36 2B, and 10 3B, which would best Tulowitzki in each category in his age-25 season.
Maybe Asdrubal backs off of his current torrid pace, but…maybe he doesn't and Asdrubal is starting to emerge as a special player to build a team around. Lest you forget, Tulowitzki is signed through TWENTY TWENTY (that's the year 2020) with a club option for 2021 with the Rockies guaranteed to pay him more than $152M starting next year to the end of his current contract. Yeah, they think that much of him in the Mile High City and while this isn't pointed out to suggest that the Indians need to be locking up Asdrubal through the end of the decade (though he becomes a FA at the same time that Choo does and I have yet to see any hand-wringing over losing Asdrubal), the Indians may have a special player whose qualifications as a "core" player could have been debated as recently as this off-season.
Asdrubal The Next Tulo?

Don't get ahead of yourself, Astrubal is a nice player, but he doesn't have the power or the arm/defense Tulo has. I can see Astrubal hitting 20 hrs and batting 300 for a few of his best years, but Tulo is a guy thats gonna bat 315 and hit 30 hrs regularly. Also, there might not be anyone in baseball with a better arm at shortstop, being a Reds fan i watch Paul Janish who has a cannon and Tulo has more arm strength than he does even! Cabrera has a long way to go on defense, he's already committed 7 or 8 errors this year.In a nutshell good ofensive SS are hard to come by, you've got a good player in Astrubal, but he's still light years away from being compared to Tulo..

Since they don't have a profit motive, they tend to be a little less expensive than the local commercial stores. I live around 15 miles away, and years ago I had become disenchanted with shopping there. But I peeked in a few weeks ago and discovered they had made some pretty big improvements, so I decided to give it another try.
So there I was, cruising the aisles with my little metal grocery cart. I made notes of all the improvements, comparing prices to the place I shopped before. It seemed like the stock was better, and the produce no longer looked like they beat it with a baseball bat before they set it out. I noticed it seemed less crowded than I remembered. I liked all the improvements.
Still, there seemed to be something different. I wandered around the store, trying to figure out what it was. The wider aisles? The better lighting?
Then it hit me. The change wasn't in the store. The difference was in me.
During most of our lives as a single-income Air Force family with two kids, we had lived paycheck-to-paycheck. I would sit down two days before payday, sort through the bills, struggle with how to pay them all and write the checks, and get everything ready to be mailed on payday. The grocery cash was the last thing on the list. If we had a higher than normal bill anywhere else in our expenses, the money came out of the money set aside for groceries. If that meant we ate Ramen noodles for two weeks straight, so be it. We were too proud to ask for help. We got in the situation through a lack of financial planning, no emergency fund, and several family emergencies. We were in debt to our eyeballs, and had no clue how to get out.
So when I'd go to the commissary on "pink check day," the day before payday, I was always armed with coupons and a calculator. I tracked every penny that went into the cart because I knew I didn't have much cash left in the checking account.
The store was normally packed that day with other families doing the same thing. It was crowded. There were often empty shelves for popular inexpensive items. The produce left, by the time I got there, looked a bit abused. I would shop, list in hand, coupons and calculator ready to compare every item for the best value.
There were many, many times I had to make a small amount of cash go a long way until the next payday. We bought lots of macaroni and cheese. We ate the cheapest reduced-price, frozen hamburger. There were times my calculator said I had to stop long before the list was fully checked off. I remember the pit in my stomach, especially when we had diapers and baby things on the list, from worrying how I was going to cover the basics. I was stressed.
Flash forward to the present:
Last night I had sat down, sorted through the bills, examined the budget and wrote the checks, and prepared everything ready to be mailed. It wasn't payday. We have a rainy day fund to cover unexpected expenses. We have reduced our debt, and soon will have the credit cards all paid off. We live below our means and gave up a few frivolous things along the way. We have money in our checking account. We're learning about 401(k)s and IRAs. We have a financial roadmap and know where we want to go.
Now I know what was different in the store. I was no longer afraid as I zipped down the aisles. We may not have yet achieved our goal of financial independence, but I have something more important. Financial peace.
Always ;-) Hunzi

Not liking my hair right now!
I have been natural for 8months! Last month I decided to get my hair straighten to get my ends trimmed. I didn't keep it straight for to long because I wasn't really feeling it,and I wanted to go back to my curly kinky hair. So I wash my hair and now I have some straight pieces! I am not feeling this!!!!!!!! My twistout's don't look right any more because my hair is too straight and thick anymore .....
Sent from my T-Mobile myTouch 3G using CurlTalk App
You have heat damage meaning your hair will stay straight until you cut it off. You can either slowly cut it off or chop it off all at once. I heard that some people have reverted their hair by deep conditioning their hair several times, but I have also heard that nothing repairs the damage and it just needs to be cut off.
Thank u I will slowly cut it off
Sent from my T-Mobile myTouch 3G using CurlTalk App
You are welcome and good luck!
I agree that heat damage generally can't revert and sadly most of it probably will have to go, however since you're cutting it off slowly and not in one big chop, it might be worth trying DC-ing as K.Lee suggested, and also protein treatments (followed up again by a moisturising treatment) to try and get some of the elasticity back.
Its not my whole head it just a couple of pieces lol my friend who is natural said it take her hair a wHole yr to snap back.
Ima do the treatment ,and slowly cut off the pieces of straight hair.

New Viking discoveries never before seen in public go on show this week as the British Museum opens a major show on the famous pillagers.
The star exhibit is the surviving timbers of a 37-metre Viking warship, the largest in existence, on what is likely to be its only visit to the UK from Denmark where it was unearthed in 1997.
Finds that have not been displayed before include a series of beheaded Viking skulls discovered in Weymouth, Dorset, in 2009, which demonstrate that they did not always win.
A smaller British version of the Danish ship which was found in 2011 is also on show for the first time. A minor Viking chief was buried with his sword, brooches and other valuables in Ardnamurchan in western Scotland. About 200 rivets of the boat survive.
Museum director Neil MacGregor said: "It's the local Scottish version of the royal Danish ship — and the kind of burial that took place right the way to Russia. The most important thing about this exhibition is that it shows that history is living and still being discovered and written." The show also includes the Vale of York hoard — displayed in its entirety at the museum for the first time since being uncovered near Harrogate in 2007 — Slav jewellery such as twisted metal neck rings which were a fashion shared with the Vikings, and a copper crucifix, because the Vikings adopted Christian gods to honour alongside their own.
Curator Tom Williams said an axe-head and spear found in the Thames were perhaps abandoned when London's residents retreated within the old Roman fortifications to resist attacks.
Vikings: Life and Legend, supported by BP, opens on Thursday and runs until June 22, admission £16.50.

PITTSBURGH--The University of Pittsburgh women's soccer program signed 12 student-athletes to a National Letter of Intent, head coach Greg Miller announced on Wednesday.
Representing three countries (United States, Canada, Finland) and six states (3-California, 2-Pennsylvania, 1-Tennessee, 1-Wisconsin, 1-Massachusetts, 1-New Jersey, 1-North Carolina), all 12 members of the 2013 Pitt women's soccer recruiting class will enroll at Pitt this summer with winning backgrounds. Two compete for their respective country's national team, five won national titles of some kind and all 12 captured state titles at various levels. Six are multi-sport athletes, nine are four-year varsity soccer letterwinners and all 12 have served as team captains of their respective soccer squads.
"In building this 2013 class, we had several challenges to meet," Miller said. "Because we arrived here last January, we had a late start in the recruiting process for this group. Many of the nation's better players had already committed to schools by this point, so we knew we had to work much harder to attract the right players who would be able to compete in the ACC. Specifically, we had to address issues in each of our lines to add athleticism, talent and depth.
"Credit our staff not only for identifying, but also securing what we feel is a solid foundation as we transition to the ACC. They bring a wealth of championship and high level playing experience. These young women are very hard working and competitive who will succeed both on the field and in the classroom. We couldn't more proud to announce these 12 players as our first official recruiting class."
Pitt will enter the Atlantic Coast Conference next season. The ACC is generally considered the nation's top women's college soccer conference. Seven ACC teams finished the 2012 season ranked among the NSCAA's top-25, including national champion North Carolina (1), Florida State (4), Duke (8), Virginia (10), Notre Dame (13), Wake Forest (15) and Maryland (16).
In addition to the 12 signees, Pitt returns 12 letterwinners from a squad that finished with a 7-10-2 overall record in Miller's first year as head coach in 2012.
Following is a roster and biographical sketches on each of the 12 signees.
