James Gandolfini Laid To Rest [VIDEO]
James Gandolfini was laid to rest at a funeral in New York.
Friends & family lined up early outside Cathedral Church of Saint John the Divine to fill the 1,500 seats inside. Fans were also invited to attend. on a first come, first served basis.
One of four speakers at the funeral, Sopranos creator David Chase gave his remarks in the form of a letter to Gandolfini, in the present tense. The actor's widow, Deborah Lin Gandolfini, and two family friends, were also speakers at the ceremony.
Chase remembered that Gandolfini once told him that "you know what I want to be? A man. That's all. I want to be a man." Chase said he marveled upon hearing that, since Gandolfini represented a man so many others wanted to be.
Paradoxically, Chase said he always felt he was seeing a young boy. "A sad boy, amazed and confused," he said. "You could see it in your eyes. That's why you were a great actor."
Susan Anton, who was Gandolfini's longtime dialogue coach and collaborator, spoke of how the actor struggled with his work.
"He worked hard," Anton said. "He was disciplined. He studied his roles and did his homework." But when the cameras rolled, his work was an act of faith that carried him to an uncharted place, she said.
Sopranos Cast Pays Their Respects
Sopranos cast members attending include Federico Castelluccio (Furio Giunta), as well as Joe Pantoliano (Ralph Cifaretto). Edie Falco (Carmela Soprano). Also there: Steve Schirripa (Bobby "Bacala" Baccalieri), Lorraine Bracco (Dr. Jennifer Melfi), Steve Buscemi (Tony Blundetto) , Michael Imperioli (Christopher Moltisanti) , Tony Sirico (Paulie "Walnuts" Gualtieri), Jamie-Lynn Sigler (Meadow Soprano) and John Ventimiglia (Artie Bucco)
Little Steven is on tour with Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band in Spain and will not be able to attend.
HBO filmed the Sopranos cast for a "farewell" video for a a private gift to the family from the network according to the New York Post. "They originally wanted the cast members to file in through the front door, but it would have created [chaos]," a source tells the Post, "so now they're going to escort them to private property and they're going to walk in through the side."
A Flag For The Family
Also among those attending will be New Jersey Governor Chris Christie, who said on Townsquare Media's Ask The Governor he will be presenting a flag to the Gandolfini family.
"I'll be proud to present that flag tomorrow to his family to let them know that the people of the state, where he was raised, where he went to college, and which he helped to make even more famous through his professional work, honor his memory and feels for their tragic loss of him at 51-years old."
A Wake In Park Ridge
Yesterday Gandolfini was remembered on Broadway as the marquees went dark in his honor.
Mourners at Wednesday's invitation-only wake for family and friends left flowers at the Robert Spearing Funeral Home in his hometown of Park Ridge. Among those paying their respects were Gandolfini's sisters Leta Gandolfini and Johanna Antonacci along with his 8-month-old daughter, Liliana Ruth Gandolfini, who arrived flanked by guards and a blanket according to E!.
Fans also came to the wake and were turned away but left flowers.

EVERETT — A major political shift looms for the Snohomish County Council in November, with two of the five seats opening up because of term limits.
Incumbents Dave Gossett, of Mountlake Terrace, and John Koster, of Arlington, cannot run again for the council because they will have served a maximum three consecutive terms in office.
County Councilman Dave Somers of Monroe, who is in his second consecutive term, is up for re-election as well. Somers served an earlier term, too, but lost re-election in 2001.
Democrats and Republicans are promising to back seasoned candidates for all of the contests. That said, don't expect party agendas to drive the workload for whomever gets elected.
"The good thing about this local government is it's not so partisan as state and federal government, thank goodness," said Koster, also a three-time Republican candidate for Congress. "It's more about good public policy."
Any hopefuls for Koster's job, or the other contested council seats, would do well to prioritize constituent work, he said.
There's also plenty of studying to do on all aspects of county government, spanning land-use regulations, the law-and-justice system and county parks, among myriad other areas.
As of Friday morning, Somers was the only County Council candidate with fundraising paperwork on file with the state's Public Disclosure Commission. The area he represents, District 5, includes communities along the U.S. 2 corridor as well as the areas of Lake Stevens and Maltby.
Two Republicans have declared their candidacy to follow Koster in representing District 1. The district covers most of northern Snohomish County except for Tulalip.
Arlington City Councilman Ken Klein is a financial manager who serves on the county planning commission.
Realtor Gary Wright, who has owned Coldwell Banker Gary Wright Realty in Marysville for more than 40 years, said he's running. His wife, Donna Wright, serves on the Marysville City Council. Also weighing runs are Arlington Republicans Larry Stickney, a political consultant and campaign manager, and Ed Moats, a public affairs consultant and former County Council analyst.
Koster's Democratic opponent from four years ago, marketing and public affairs consultant Ellen Hiatt from the Seven Lakes area, said she also is considering another run.
Nobody has made an announcement about seeking the seat Gossett has held in District 4, though former Mill Creek City Councilman Terry Ryan said he's giving it serious consideration. Ryan in September stepped down from the nonpartisan city post he held for more than 17 years, citing an increased workload in his commercial real estate job.
The Democratic-leaning district includes the areas of Mill Creek, Silver Firs, Mountlake Terrace, Brier and Bothell north of the county line.
It won't be clear who's in the mix for the three races until mid-May, when hopefuls must make their candidacies official by filing with the Snohomish County Auditor's Office.
The local leaders for the county's Democratic and Republican parties said they'll be busy preparing for that time.
"The Democrats will be fielding quality candidates in all three of the races," said Richard Wright, chairman for the Snohomish County Democrats and husband of County Councilwoman Stephanie Wright. "The folks I've spoken with, they're experienced candidates. This will not be their first campaign."
Wright's GOP counterpart said she would look for candidates who are familiar with the area and who could ask voters if they are happy with the direction of county government under the majority Democrats, who control four of the five County Council seats.
"If we focus on what the needs are for Snohomish County and drill down to the issues, we might be able to open some new doors," county Republican Party chairwoman Billye Brooks-Sebastiani said.
Fundraising for recent winners of Snohomish County Council seats ranged from Koster's high of $175,000 in 2009, to a low of $45,000 for Stephanie Wright in 2011, according to the Public Disclosure Commission.
The job pays $104,320.74 per year.

Toyota Exploring Expansion, Third Shift at SA Plant
With sales of Tundra and Tacoma pickup trucks flying off dealer lots at a faster clip than anticipated, Toyota is considering expanding production at its San Antonio plant, 1200 WOAI news has learned.
Mario Lozoya, a spokesman for Toyota Motor Manufacturing Texas, confirmed that the plant is seriously considering something that has never been considered before, adding a third shift at the south side plant.
"We're stuck to mechanical issues," he said. "There is also a maintenance window that we need to use to maintain our equipment."
The huge assembly line at the ten seven year old plant have never operated round the clock.
Toyota currently operates two full shifts plus a Saturday overtime shift to keep up with demand for the trucks.
When the plant opened in November of 2006, Toyota officials pegged peak production at 200,000 Tundras a year. The plant added about half of the Tacoma production line in 2010 when Toyota shut down its joint venture with General Motors in California, but it was only this year, after the construction recession ended, that pickup sales took off.
And took off they did. Toyota has some an amazing 248,000 Tundras and Tacoma combined through the first eleven months of 2011, up an amazing 14% from last year.
Toyota had expected the pickup market to be relatively flat in 2013, with only a growth of 1.7 million units this year.
Lozoya says a boost in production would mean a ton of new jobs.
"Not just in Toyota itself but also for our suppliers."
Toyota and the suppliers which ring the plant are currently at peak employment, with some 5400 employees between them.
Toyota would also have to make a major investment in equipment if it were to add a third shift at the plant. Toyota has already spent $2.2 billion in its San Antonio faculty.
This is an amazing turnaround for Toyota from 2011, when the combined impact of the recession and the huge tsunami in Japan had local plant workers painting community centers and repairing playgrounds.
"Currently we are in a phase where we are struggling to meet demand, which is a good problem to have," Lozoya said.

Both Hess and Shaffir are saying that women's prayer at the Western Wall is not top on the average Israeli's priority list.
Hess scoffs at the notion that friendships drive Washington dealmaking.
These are household names, global corporate titans: Sony, Pepsi,Apple, Microsoft, Hess.
Shell, ExxonMobil, Hess, and other oil companies beat BP in getting Libyan oil licenses.
Hess concludes, "the vilest [online] communications are still disproportionately lobbed at women."
Among the pieces was a chair, similar to yours, which I understand was also a Hess heirloom.
A Hess, and a hay and a hell and a double ho, and a hen—saloon!
Dr. Hess looked very grave, and Jim exceedingly anxious, as the two bent together over the patient.
But you cant ride that car all over this country alone, Hess!
"I was telling you about our chair having been in the Hess family," explained Sid.
Hess (hěs), Walter Rudolf. 1881-1973.
Swiss physiologist. He shared a 1949 Nobel Prize for his research on the brain's control of the body.
American geologist who studied the sea floor and developed the theory of sea-floor spreading in 1960. Hess theorized that sea floors were constantly renewed by the flow of magma from the Earth's mantle through the oceanic rifts. This hypothesis became an important component of the theory of plate tectonics.

Any Indian or non-Indian land that is removed from the project by such redesignation shall bear its proportionate share of the construction costs, either deferred or assessed, and its proportionate share of the operation and maintenance cost to the date of such removal, if the removal is based on a redesignation for a higher use. If the lands removed are in Indian ownership, and the removal is based on any other factor, the lands shall not thereafter be assessed for construction charges.
Approved, September 26, 1961.

At the start of this year, Mario Monti, the Italian prime minister, unveiled a programme of liberalisation, which together with austerity measures were meant to put the country back on track for growth.
The package triggered protests from taxi drivers, pharmacists, petrol station operators and lawyers – all professions that were included in the liberalisation plan. The measures also targeted the gas and electricity market, the insurance sector and local public services. The aims of these plans were to reduce the costs of goods and services to consumers and to foster competition among providers, with cheaper products and services making the austerity measures easier to digest.

SEARCH for the answer?
Does anyone know what the default UN and PW is to get the program to run? I am getting a prompt for a username and password after it runs. I have not idea what the UN and PW is.
Of course, if you really wanted to have some fun, go to Wal-Mart late at night and ask the greeter if they could help you find trashbags, roll of carpet, rope, quicklime, clorox and a shovel. See if they give you any strange looks. --Streaker69
I do my best to bring levity to the forums! I'll be here all week, remember to tip your waitress...don't forget to try the veal. <rimshot>Heh, now this is freaking funny!

Craig Morgan helps in on-stage proposal!
Listen to Craig Morgan on iHeartRadio
(WQIK) - Craig Morgan was in Jacksonville, Florida, Thursday, July 11, to do a free concert for the USO... well, he helped out the USO and helped a man propose to his girlfriend, all with a swollen left eye.
It all went down at the Jacksonville Landing in downtown Jacksonville, a popular spot for events. Craig was in town for the Jack Daniel Distillery and USO "Toast to the Troops" campaign, in which volunteers held a "Stuffing Party" to fill 7,500 Operation USO Care Packages for men and women serving overseas.
[PHOTOS: Craig Morgan "Toast To The Troops"]
After a storm delayed the concert for about an hour, Craig finally took the stage. During his performance of "Love Loves a Long Night," Craig brought the couple up on stage, stopping the song long enough for the proposal. She said yes, the crowd went wild, and then Craig serenaded the newly-engaged couple with the rest of the song, while they danced on stage.
As for the eye.... Craig wore sunglasses during the show, to cover up the very swollen left eye due to a bee sting he got earlier in the week. Saving people... helping guys propose... performing with just one eye... all in a month's work for Craig Morgan!

Fucking a 15 year old girl under the umbrella of the law, getting found out and sent to prison.
I know we're talking semantics, but I don't get the comparison.
That facts it's non sanctioned makes it worse (IMO) that's like saying that putting on an event makes it out with the law. Under 18 is legally not an adult in the uk (can't vote, buy alcohol etc) so what if you put on a cage shagging event where you shagged birds in a cage for sport and some of those birds were under the legal age of consent, should you then be immune from prosecution as you've put on a "non sanctioned" event?
Cage shagging I imagine would be like Ultimate Ball...but hopefully better.
Sig awaiting witty quote from someone.
Grizzly, If I ever here of a cage shagging event I'll be sure to give you a shout mate haha
id shag the ring girls LOL
I'll shag your dog
I tried to organize a cage shagging event once, but I had a load of pull-outs.
Fighting, writing and mood lighting.

Mr. Little Guy's House
by WatrWalker (nom. by Kitch)
I'm always looking the perfect kids cache and this is one I have my eye on. This cache is known worldwide and has been featured on WCCO, CNN, Canada Press, CBSnews.com, Associated Press, the CBS Early show, and countless others.
All of life is magical and fairy tales are true. This little tale takes place
at this cache. About 9 years ago a elf moved into this spot near Lake Harriet and that little guy still lives there today. However, no one has ever seen him so if you are a really good cache hunter maybe you'll spot him. Your mission is to find his home and leave him a note.
If you write him a letter he will write back. Please always use all lower case letters he prefers it that way. Mr. Little Guy's height is not confirmed but the press knows that he is taller than his younger brother and shorter than his older brother. The press is saying he wears comfortable khakis and the color green most of the time. If you want to bring him a snack bring Minnow Pizza he loves that.
Stop by and visit his special cache......I'm planning a little girls first visit
O.K. maybe it is not a "real" cache but you can still bring something to leave for the him and you can leave a letter.
by rod and andrew (nom. by Marsha and Bob)
I chose this cache for a number of reasons. One, the absolutely breathtaking view from both the parking lot, located off of Frontier Place in Settler's Ridge development, and the top of the steep hill which descends to the cache location. Second, the difficult location at which the cache resides. And third, the beautifully maintained preserve which includes large displays at prominent points in the park.
I have read, from the logs of other cachers, that both parking and hiking from the south may not be advisable. When I visited this cache I felt lucky to have chosen to park at the north parking lot off of Frontier Place in the beautiful Settlers Ridge development. I was overjoyed to see several people from the neighborhood taking advantage of the breathtaking views and beautiful park surroundings. I arrived slightly before 8:30am and was awestruck by the mist covered hillside leading down to the river valley.
Going into this I had no idea it had a terrain rating of four stars. As I peered over the edge of the steep descent I was glad that I chose this cache as my first find of the day. I do not recommend this for those with children or no traction on their feet. It took me quite a bit of time to reach the area where I thought the cache should be. Heavy tree cover had me wandering in circles for quite some time until I found the cache.
Normally relieved at finally securing my find, I turned and looked back up the hill and braced for a lengthy ascent. My reward for all my hard work was getting to watch several deer enjoying the cooler temperatures of the morning while I read about the history of the Richard T. Anderson and his vision.
If you are looking for a challenge with rewarding views of the 125 acre preserve, please do make a visit to yogurt1 (GCEF8E) in the Richard T. Anderson Conservation Area in Eden Prairie.

I have a wynn rocket very similar to the one posted. I like it. its a good go to board for nj. I have a tri quad converter. I like it. Waves generally need to have either curve or a little push i.e. not a groveler type board. I ride in in waist to head high. I have been experimenting with it as a quad and it holds rail a little better as a quad cause the tail is so wide, i suppose. Once you get the board going its fast and connects sections well. Skates over flat sections sooo easy. It has a nice tight turning radius and enough tail rocker to release the tail.
If you are looking to replace an everyday shortboard with something more fun and shorter. Replacing something like a flyer I think the rocket is a good choice. If you are looking to replace like a groveler its not a groveler. If you are looking to replace a hpsb its not that either. Hope that helps.
If anyone has another I am interested. I am 5"11' 160. Not sure what is a good size
Hey man, I have a 5 10 lost motivator, which is the same as a rocket but a tad more beefy. I am 6'3 and 210 lb and the 5'10 seems perfect. I can get up in waist high, yet it has performed awesome in shoulder to about head high. I use it with thruster set up. At your size you could prob get away with a smaller rocket, like a 58, 59, 510, etc. Good luck!
I have a 5'10 with MB3 Futures and carbon fiber tail rails thats in like new condition...would consider a decent offer.
I am 6'2 about 175 and i ride a 6'0, 20, 2.5 rocket. +1 on riding it in anything over head. slid out in a tube and my fin got ripped out. thank god it didnt break the plug. i think i could have went shorter, thinner, and less wide but it still works great in anything with push just like everyone has said. it's a good board for a decent day on the EC.
where can i find a v2 rocket? those boards are sweet

Mr. Græme had received from Paris an unpublished opera of Auber's.
At last Auber spoke, laying a hand on my shoulder: "It is over; let us go ahead."
Liszt relates a speech of Auber's, to whom a young musician of great promise had been presented.
That was true, Ezekiel said; and Auber had not seen the man in five years.
Auber was a small, delicate man, yet distinguished in appearance, and noted for wit.
Putting my ear to Auber's door, I listened—till I had made sure.
It was just the heat of the day, and Auber, stretched out on a deck chair, was taking a sort of siesta.
He had picked up Auber's purse from the table, where it had lain beside his watch.
Here also he made the acquaintance of Auber, 'a stolid little elderly man, rather petulant in manner.'
"But that is not an independent career, my child," said Auber slowly.

We're Gettin' a Makeover!
Do pardon our dust as we do a little remodeling. We're going over to a very different design, so graphics will likely be stretched or otherwise ill-fitting, but it'll be worth it. Our new design will be easier to navigate and maybe even a little prettier. We just want to look our best for you.
We'll let you know when we're presentable again…and most likely have a couple more announcements. Why? Because the ladies of the VVC do not sleep.
See you soon!

Last Wednesday, Hubby was off completing some very important Hubby business. He needed the car and no car for me meant that I had to get Buddy to school on the bus. Hubby and I went online and figured out which bus the kids and I needed to take. The route left from a bus stop near our house, switched buses once and dropped us off near Buddy's school. The trip, which takes us five to ten minutes by car (depending on traffic), was going to take 35 minutes to complete by bus.
Wednesday morning, I rushed the kids through their breakfast because we had to walk over to a nearby convenience store to pick up some bus tickets. Getting the tickets was a must because they're $1.10 cheaper per trip than paying in cash and, more importantly, because I live mostly cash-free, I didn't have any change for the bus.
We left the house at 9:15am and trudged towards the store, while Monkey wailed, "I want DRIVE, Mommy! Drive! Whaaaaannnnn! Drive!"
I explained (very patiently, I think), "We don't have a car today. That's why we have to take the bus."
Half way to the store, Monkey said, "Mommy, I need pee!"
I told him we were almost there and picked up the pace while Monkey started to do the pee-pee dance. We arrived at the store and I asked the man behind the counter if they have a public washroom. He took one look at Monkey, who was by now doing the pee-pee tango, and he reached under the counter and pulled out a key. He started towards the back of the store and indicated that we should follow. We followed him to the back, past some drinks coolers, around a corner, and down a hallway. He unlocked a door and showed us into the nastiest little bathroom I've ever seen. It was FILTHY. I closed and locked the door and hissed to Buddy, "Don't touch ANYTHING."
I tried to hold Monkey over the toilet, but he wasn't having that: "No Mommy! No do that!" So I sat him on the seat and he peed for, like, 100 years, or so. At one point, he grabbed the toilet seat to steady himself before I could stop him. Ew!
I shushed Buddy (who was asking in his loud, loud voice, "don't they ever clean in here, Mommy?") while I debated whether it was better to risk using the sink, or if it was better to wait until we got home to wash Monkey's hands. Because Monkey touched the toilet seat (argh! argh!), I decided to err on the side of washing. We vacated the bathroom, bought our tickets and left the scene.
We arrived home at about 10:30am. We needed to leave to catch the bus at 11:20am (must hurry! Fast! Fast!). So, I got Buddy's snack ready, sanitized the boys (yucky toilet germs! Argh!) and fed them lunch. We were out the door on time but, as we were walking towards the bus stop we saw a bus go by. I said, "Shit! I hope that wasn't our bus!" (Confession time: I said "Shit!" a lot this day... Mommy gold star for me!).
At the bus stop, I checked the schedules and decided that it must have been the other bus that stops there. So, we waited... And waited... And waited... And waited. The bus didn't come for 20 minutes, which meant that we definitely missed the one we were supposed to be on; it must have been early. We rode the bus to the stop where we were supposed to switch buses. I sat the kids down on the bench and checked the schedule. I was dismayed (yes I was) to find out that this bus only comes every 30 minutes and that we'd missed it. The next one was scheduled for 12:41 - 11 minutes after Buddy's school starts for the day... "Shit!" I said, "Shit! Shit! Shit! We'll have to walk."
So, I grabbed the kids by the hands and headed off at a lively trot towards the school. The walk took 15 minutes, with Monkey and Buddy almost running to keep up with me. But we made it on time - only just on time. The kids were already lined up to go into their classroom, which meant Buddy was too late for outdoor playtime (poor Buddy!).
I gave Buddy a kiss goodbye and Monkey and I rushed toward the bus stop to catch the bus back home. As we were walking, we saw a bus go by. "Shit!" I said. "We just missed the bus... Again!"
"Again!" Monkey echoed.
At the bus stop I noticed that there was a number you can call to check the bus schedules and to find out when the next bus is due. I called the number and an automated voice informed me, "The next bus is scheduled in 25 minutes." Then, I noticed a bus go by in the other direction. I watched it longingly as it disappeared in the distance. I considered walking and I considered waiting and, looking at Monkey, who was chillaxin' gratefully on the bench, I decided to wait. Monkey wandered around the bus stop, looking at flowers and peering into the small group of trees next to the stop. He declared the trees were a "scary, scary woods!" and the flowers were a "princess garden!". Someone had written the word "Monster" on the bench. I, recognizing a photo-op, had Monkey sit next to it.
"Again!" Money echoed.
We got to the stop and I called the number, only to be told "the next bus is scheduled in 30 minutes." I decided, since it would be the same bus anyway, that we would take the bus in the other direction, rather than wait or make the kids (who were both tired and cranky) walk. We crossed the street, and I called the number to check when the next bus was scheduled. The automated voice told me, "the next bus is scheduled in one minute." "Great!" I said. "The bus will be here in a minute."
"Great!" Monkey echoed.
We boarded the bus and rode it to the end of the line. The bus driver watched us for a few minutes then told me, "M'am, we're here." I told her that we wanted to go back the other way. "Well, okay," she answered, with a slight roll of her eyes. And we headed off (vroom! vroom!). A few stops later, the bus driver looked back at us and said, "Just a warning: A million high school students are going to get on at Centennial High School." Sure enough, at the high school the bus filled with students. It was like the bus on Ferris Bueller's Day Off. I kept expecting someone to offer me some gummy bears that were "nice and warm and squishy" because they'd been in her pocket.
Only, it was more crowded than the Ferris bus because people were also standing up in every available space. We were the only non-high school students on the bus. Finally, we squeezed and pushed (kids EVERYWHERE) our way out at our stop and waited for our second bus. The kids picked clover while I threw a conniption fit every time they went too close to the road ("Stay on this side of the tree! On THIS side of the tree!"). We arrived home at 4:15pm. I made the kids another snack and we curled up on the futon upstairs to wait for Daddy to come home. We were completely exhausted.
Number of dollars spent getting Buddy to school on the bus: A full page of bus tickets - $9.00, plus tax.
Number of hours spent getting Buddy to school on the bus: 9:15am to 4:15pm - 7 hours.
Not having to take Buddy to school on the bus everyday: Priceless.

Put that brand where the sun don't shine: The employees of a New York brokerage firm have gotten tattoos of the company's logo. The tattoos prove the workers' loyalty — and score them an extra 15 percent commission.

Associated Press
SEATTLE — C.J. Wilcox is bypassing a shot at the NBA and returning to Washington for his senior year, giving the Huskies one more season with their leading scorer as they try to get back to the NCAA tournament after a two-year absence.
The school announced Wilcox's decision on Thursday. Wilcox submitted his name for evaluation by NBA executives and most came back believing Wilcox would be a late first or likely second-round selection if he left after his junior year.
"The main thing is that my dad and I were talking and thinking back to about when I first got here and the vision to redshirt my first year and have that last year to become the best player that I can be and lead the team," Wilcox said in comments provided by the school. "We were not expecting the NBA to come into the picture so fast. That kind of got off track and we lost track of the vision. We started seriously considering it and meeting with agents, but at the end of the day we went back and wanted to finish what we started."
Wilcox led the Huskies averaging 16.8 points per game, good for sixth in the Pac-12. He was a second-team all-Pac-12 selection and played most of the conference season while battling a foot injury. He topped 20 points in 14 games and was the Huskies' leading scorer in 22 of their 34 games.
Wilcox spent his first two years with the Huskies mostly as a perimeter shooter, before expanding his game last season when he was asked to take on the bulk of the scoring load. Wilcox said he was surprised how many of the NBA evaluators believed he was just a spot-up shooter.
"A lot of the NBA doesn't know that I'm athletic and that I'm more than a stand-still shooter," he said. "I need to continue to work on ball-handling and getting to the free throw line more. I need to be more of a leader and help the team get more wins."
Washington coach Lorenzo Romar expects Wilcox to be able to show that versatility next season. The Huskies should have more scoring depth around Wilcox next season, allowing him to take less of the load and display the versatility to do more than just shoot. Wilcox's return means the Huskies will lose only three starters off their squad that went 18-16 and lost in the first-round of the NIT to BYU.
"I think we will see his role being all-around basketball player that won't just be the guy that is receiving the ball to make shots, but also distributing the ball to make shots," Romar said on a conference call. "He'll be out on the floor making more decisions with the ball in his hands."
Romar also announced that assistant Lamont Smith is leaving after one season to take an assistant coaching job at New Mexico. Romar said he doesn't expect any additions to his staff that already includes assistants Paul Fortier, Jim Shaw and Brad Jackson.

WASHINGTON, DC--The Ketchikan Indian Corporation (KIC) of Alaska became first-time property owners last week thanks to the federal government.
At a February 13 ceremony in Ketchikan, Alaska, the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) partnered with the U.S. Coast Guard to convey the former Marine Safety Detachment facility and .76 acres to the KIC to use as a clinic and social services facility. The conveyance resulted from legislation passed last year by Congress and signed by President Clinton on October 19, 1996 (P.L. 104-324).
Stephanie Rainwater, KIC president, accepted and signed the property deed. She was joined by GSA's Northwest and Arctic Regional Administrator Jay Pearson; Capt. D.B. Peterman of the Coast Guard; Ketchikan Mayor Alaire Stanton, and Sherrie Slick, the town of Ketchikan's Congressional liaison. Slick read congratulatory letters from U.S. Sens. Ted Stevens and Frank Murkowski, and U.S. Rep. Don Young.
Following the signing was a Tribal celebration highlighting three traditional Native Dance Groups representing Tsimshian, Tlingit and Haida Clans. The ceremony closed with all the participants joining in the traditional "Raven Dance" with Tribal performers spanning three generations.

Broccoli is a favorite garden vegetable in Georgia. It can be planted in early spring or fall. Broccoli is a member of the Brassica family and is closely related to cauliflower, Brussels sprouts and cabbage. Broccoli is a very healthy food and may reduce certain types of cancer.
The grass is dormant and plants are not blooming, but winter isn't the time to slack off from working in the yard and gardens. In fact, this is the perfect time of year to work on design issues in the yard and plan for spring.
In his online seasonal gardening calendar, Georgia garden expert Walter Reeves notes that now is the time to "redesign your lawn for easier mowing. Eliminate sharp angles and narrow turf areas. Use mulch, new flower beds or a groundcover such as mondo grass there instead."

Milk with Ghee
Does it help to drink milk with ghee in the last month of pregnancy? I have heard that it smooths the birth canal. I am not sure whether I should drink this mix daily or not?
26th November 2013 07:36 AM #2
Dear Emma,
Actually there is no scientific research that drinking ghee in the third trimester is beneficial to pregnancy and labour. In fact, some sources show that ghee can induce labour if a woman is full term by stimulating the gut and setting off contractions. This 'method' of induction is best avoided as it can cause diarrhoea which no-one wants to have during labour. Ghee is also very high in calories so daily consumption of ghee would make it more difficult to return to your pre-pregnancy weight in the months following birth.
What is advised to help to speed up labour is staying active during pregnancy. Unless your doctor has advised you otherwise, you can continue to exercise at a similar level to before pregnancy (avoiding any contact sports). Being active and in an upright position during the labour also leads to a quicker and easier labour.
Warm wishes,

Hello LJ,
That answers my concern.
Thank you for being a great help.
27th November 2013 07:34 AM #4
I'm glad this information was helpful Emma.
Have you come across Raspberry Leaf Tea? This can be drank at the end of the third trimester and is thought to make contractions more efficient (it does not induce labour as some incorrectly believe).

When I feel of pain during my monthly periods that time ghee always helped me. so i guess it will help at the time of delivery as well.
11th January 2014 06:44 AM #7
Dear austinkmadison,
I would advise you to keep a check on how many calories you are eating if you want to eat ghee. Ghee is very high in calories and it is wise to stay active and healthy during pregnancy. This has been shown to help in labour, however, there is no research I am aware of that shows eating ghee benefits a woman in labour.
Warm wishes,
22nd March 2014 07:30 AM #8
Thank you for your question.
This would help you to put on weight but it is not a healthy way to do this (because of the high levels of saturated fat). It would be better to raise the fat content in your diet from food such as meat, nuts and dairy. As you say, it is important to be a healthy weight in pregnancy. It is your body mass index which is important. A low body mass index unfortunately puts a pregnant woman at increased risk of miscarriage and having a baby with a low birth weight. Do you know what your body mass index is?
Warm wishes,

NEW YORK (The Deal) -- After Dish Network (DISH) withdrew a $2.2 billion bid for a group of LightSquared's assets, debt purchases by the satellite TV company's chairman Charlie Ergen were the focus of a Thursday bankruptcy hearing.
At the hearing, a lawyer for the bankrupt telecom suggested that the abrupt bid withdrawal, as well as the way Ergen went about acquiring his debt stake, were tactical moves meant to impede the reorganization to the benefit of Dish.
Judge Shelley Chapman began an extended hearing Thursday that will consider competing plans to reorganize LightSquared and a lawsuit that the debtor brought against Ergen because of his purchases of secured debt.
The hearing marks the culmination of legal wrangling between Ergen and LightSquared backer Philip Falcone over the troubled telecom.
The parties debated whether Ergen made a legitimate investment in LightSquared's secured as an individual, or whether he violated debt terms by purchasing the securities, maneuvers that David Friedman of Kasowitz Benson Torres & Friedman LLP, representing Falcone's Harbinger Capital Partners LLC, termed "Ergenomics."
After a few failed attempts to line up financing, LightSquared has proposed a reorganization plan with funding from Fortress Investment Group LLC, JPMorgan Securities LLC, Melody Capital Advisors LLC and Harbinger Capital Partners. Chapman will consider the debtor's plan later in January.
Dish and EchoStar, (SATS) which Ergen also chairs, are among a group of competitors that LightSquared's credit agreement prohibited from buying secured debt.
Ergen spent $700 million to $800 million purchasing debt through a family trust in the name of his daughter, for which Ergen and his wife are trustees.
Ergen holds about $1 billion in face value of secured claims against the company. LightSquared and Harbinger Capital Partners have argued that Ergen's claims should be subordinated or otherwise reduced.
LightSquared counsel Matthew Barr of Milbank, Tweed, Hadley & McCloy LLP told the court that when LightSquared's credit agreement "closed a door" to Dish acquiring the debt, Ergen "created a window" by making the purchases himself.
Barr questioned Dish's motivation for withdrawing its bid just before the hearing. He suggested the company may have wanted to force a committee to "run" to Dish to reopen negotiations, to lower the price or to bring LightSquared "to the brink" of liquidiation.

The Allman Brothers Band won't tour after this year
Listen to The Allman Brothers Band on iHeartRadio
The Allman Brothers Band is wrapping up its road work.
Frontman Gregg Allman tells "Relix" magazine "this is it -- this is the end of it," and the group's 2014 dates will be their last -- for now. He explains that "45 years is enough," and he wants to "do something else."
But Gregg isn't shutting the door completely, admitting that they might "get together every five years and just do one play at a time." Allman adds that he's not going to stop touring, but will keep playing shows with his Gregg Allman & Friends ensemble.
The end of the Allman Brothers touring coincides with the departures of guitarists Warren Haynes and Derek Trucks, who announced a few weeks ago that they'd be leaving the group at the end of the year.
Next up for the Allman Brothers Band is their annual Beacon Theater residency in New York City. They'll launch the run -- which has been expanded to 14 shows -- on March 7th. Tickets for the four new dates -- March 25th, 26th, 28th, and 29th -- go on sale this Friday.

Is Keith Richards joining the cast for fifth 'Pirates' film?
Listen to The Rolling Stones on iHeartRadio
Keith Richards is said to be on board for another "Pirates of the Caribbean" film.
An unnamed source tells the UK's "Daily Mail" the Rolling Stones guitarist signed on to reprise the role of Captain William Teague in Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales. The insider adds that filming on the fifth installment of the franchise will begin next October. A release date hasn't been set yet.
Keith originated the role of Captain Teague, the father to Johnny Depp's Captain Jack Sparrow, in 2007's Pirates Of The Caribbean: At World's End. The rocker was also featured in 2011's Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides. But his influence was felt in the first "Pirates" film.
Depp has said that he based his swashbuckling character on Richards.

Important Information
Issue No 52
| Spring Quarter | June/July 2009
10 Transfer Students
Mervyn Tsui: Top Transfer Student
Mervyn Tsui is majoring in
economics and math and is
transferring to the University
of Southern California in the
fall 2009.
Mervyn Tsui was
born in London and grew up in Hong
Kong and mainland China. He
came to Green River Community
College in the fall of 2007. His
major is Economics and Mathematics
and he will be transferring to the
University of Southern California
in the Fall of 2009.
"USC was my first choice
college," said Mervyn. "My father is
an alumni there. He is very happy
that I am attending."
"I chose economics as a major
because my grandfather was an
engineer and my father is a business
man. Also, this is a subject
that I am weak in and I want to
improve myself in this area.
When I graduate I want to be able to
help fix the inequalities between
the rich and poor in all countries."
Mervyn really enjoyed his time at Green
River. He got involved in many areas
on campus. He served as a finance
senator for ASGRCC (student
government), he worked for TRIO
as a math tutor, he volunteered in
the Math Learning Center, and
he was president of the chess club.
"ASGRCC was most memorable
for me. In the beginning I had a
hard time presenting my ideas
clearly. ASGRCC helped me a
lot with that. It gave me the
opportunity to learn
about the American culture, it
helped me with critical thinking,
and it made feel like I was really
contributing to the student body."

Smart Phones and Gadgets – the New Nemesis of Avionics
I don't particularly care for airports. You rush to get to them. You rush thru check-in and push your way thru never-ending queues to go thru security and get the prerequisite pre-boarding massage (I seem to get pat downs as I go thru security a lot and even though I gladly submit to them I'm starting to think that they are a new service that the airlines provide and thus deserve a proper marketing name ;-)). Then you wait, wait and wait some more until your flight is called. Yup, I admit it. I'm not the most patient person and sitting in airport lounges drives me up the wall. So I'm really glad that I've got my Blackberry.
I can sit there and while away the time: I read and answer emails or make urgent phone calls (a bit unpleasant as you have to constantly stop talking until the overhead announcements are over and done with). On my last trip, I'd been super efficient. While standing in the baggage drop-off line for 30 minutes (I'm not joking, I had already checked in online and just needed to drop off my bag), I answered my emails so by the time I got to the pre-board lounge at 6 PM on a Friday night I had nothing to do. Mind you Frankfurt airport is massive (lots of shopping and good eats) but after 4 days of early morning wake-up calls and late nights I was just too tired to do anything but to plop down on a chair. After a couple of minutes of polite conversation, my colleague pulled out his iPad and we each retreated into our own worlds. After 5 minutes of people watching I spied the newspaper rack across the hall and realized there was an English newspaper there — my salvation from boredom. I sauntered over and picked up a copy of the Daily Mail. The Daily Mail offers a mix of hard news news with celebrity gossip and faced with the prospect of sitting idly or reading something it offered an acceptable solution.
Once settled on the plane, I retreated into the world of Daily Mail. The first half of the newspaper brought me up to speed on world affairs. Then low and behold on page 25, tucked in the corner I found an article that jumped off the page (at least to me). There were 3 other stories on the page but the relative font size of the title of this article in compare to the other 3 meant that 1) this article was the least important of them all or 2) it's news they wanted to bury. I suspected it had nothing to do with importance – I won't bore you with the details of the other three articles except one was about death, the second about money and the last one, well, I'll use the more business-friendly term of passion. The clip in question was titled "One Mobile 'can make a plane crash'" (Daily Mail, June 10, 2011). Not what you want to read while sitting on a plane.
The basic gist of the story was that "using just one mobile or electronic device during a flight can cause a plane's systems to shut down". According to the article which was based on a leaked confidential research paper, a single Blackberry or an iPad could cause the autopilot to disengage and turn on critical warning lights. Allegedly. I'm saying allegedly because the size of the data they had looked at was rather small: 230 passenger and cargo flights out of 49,000+ (I'm afraid the latest stats I could find were for the year 2000, where we had 49,000+ flights per day worldwide … I'm sure 11 years on we can conservatively say that we have a much higher figure). With a small enough sample you can get supporting evidence for pretty much anything. So I'm sticking with allegedly. But for the sake of argument, if this is true, then even one case is problematic – especially for the folks on the said plane.
Let's say one case may be possible. How do the numbers stack up? If you have travelled in the past year, you'll have noticed that there are a lot of iPads around. On a typical 777 with 3 classes of service, we have about 300 passengers. If we assume that 25% of passengers have either a BB or an iPad (and I am seriously underestimating here because a large portion of those travelling tend to have both), that is 75 potential gadgets that could allegedly wreak havoc on a single flight. Not all 49,000 flights are 777s but if you start multiplying away, you'll start seeing some astronomical figures. If you think I'm not conservative enough, then fine… let's say 10%. That still is 30 gadgets and 30 people who need to keep those gadgets off. I always make sure to turn off my phone before I get on the plane but I wonder how many people in the last minute rush forget to do it? And how many people rely on their gadgets to keep them entertained during the flight? On my return flight from the States last month, the teenager sitting next to me put down his iPad only while eating or using the facilities – the rest of the time he was either playing a game or watching movies. Any system or process is only as strong as its weakest link.
If and it's a big IF, this is possible, why would this still be an issue in this day and age of modern engineering? Maybe I'm naive but with such a wide selection of simulation tools available for avionics design (everything from thermal to electromagnetic analysis) why should we experience or even talk about these types of interference? I'm willing to kinda sorta maybe accept interference issues on older planes but on newer planes? If this is really an issue then this news shouldn't be hidden away in the corner at the back of newspapers and I truly and well hope that you guys, the engineering community, are looking into it. Surely one would get better ROI from simulation for fixing a potential problem than from the other option.
On every flight there is always one person who grumbles about having to turn off phones/ebook readers/MP3/PCs players during takeoff/landing. Maybe all flight attendants should carry a copy of this article with them and show it to those folks. Or maybe we should all be mindful that the more likely answer is that their request has got nothing to do with interference. Takeoffs and landings are the two most vulnerable stages of a flight and in case of an emergency the crew needs our full attention – mind you, I'm sure you'd notice the panic/pandemonium around you regardless of how engrossed you are in your game/music/movie. But if even the most impatient person, yours truly, can stand to bear 20 minutes without doing something I'm sure you can too.
Until next time,

About CFD doesn't mean Color For Directors
Technology for technology sake doesn't make sense in this economy. So to help you gather ROI information for your management team, my blog will focus on the business side of simulation. I'll share how design engineers using CFD have improved product functionality across a wide range of industries and applications while shortening their time to market cost-effectively. And to add a bit of spice, I'll feature "state of the union" interviews with industry pundits on a regular basis. CFD doesn't mean Color For Directors

Rock pioneer and Velvet Underground frontman Lou Reed is dead at 71.
Timothy Greenfield-Sanders, director of the feature documentary film Lou Reed: Rock and Roll Heart, confirmed Reed's death Sunday to USA TODAY.
Reed had a liver transplant in May, although a cause of death has not yet been released.
Best known for songs such as Sweet Jane, I'm Sticking With You, Sunday Morning and Heroin, the Velvet Underground was formed in New York by Reed and John Cale. It was popular throughout the 1960s. The group was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1996.
REACTION: Celebs tweet about Lou Reed
Reed left the Velvet Underground in 1970 and began a flourishing solo career that spawned such hits as Walk on the Wild Side, Perfect Day and Dirty Blvd. Reed took home one Grammy Award during his career of nearly five decades, for best long-form music video in 1999 for Lou Reed: Rock and Roll Heart.
After divorcing British designer Sylvia Morales in the mid-'90s, Reed married O Superman performance artist Laurie Anderson in 2008. In recent years, he toured with his new band Metal Machine Trio and contributed vocals to Metric's 2012 album Synthetica.

Young Harris, Ga.- The Brevard College Tornados earned a split in their four-game series with the Young Harris Mountain Lions over the weekend, falling 18-4 in Sunday afternoon's series finale at Zell B. Miller Field.
The Mountain Lions jumped out to a 5-0 lead in the first inning, beginning with a leadoff homer by sophomore Spencer Thomas.
Brevard starter Zach Joyce (L, 0-1) surrendered five earned runs in less than an inning of work before he was relieved in favor of Thomas Brown.
The Tornados plated two runs in the top of the 4th inning after Bennett Hixson led off with a single and scored on a Kody Spencer double to left center. Spencer then advanced to third on a groundout and scored on a Matt Proffitt infield single.
The Mountain Lions answered with three runs in their half of the 4th to take an 8-2 lead, thanks to a pair of errors by the Tornados.
The Mountain Lions scored 10 runs over the next three innings against four different BC relievers, pushing the game out of reach for the Tornados.
Young Harris starter Adam Moore (W, 1-0) earned the win, allowing two earned runs over six innings on the mound.
The Tornados and Mountain Lions meet twice more in 2013, first on March 13th and again on March 27th. Both games are at Brevard's Gil Coan Field.
The Tornados are back in action as they visit the Pfeiffer Falcons on Tuesday in Misenheimer, N.C. First pitch is slated for 2 p.m.

Make sure you know what NOT to feed your cat!
Photo: Shutterstock Caffeine
 Large amounts of caffeine can cause caffeine poisoning, and unfortunately there is no antidote.
Photo: Shutterstock Sugar
 Eating too many sugary treats can have the same effect on a cat that it does on a human.
Photo: Shutterstock Dough
 Eating bread dough before it is baked, will do the same thing in your cat's stomach as it does in the oven. As it swells inside, the dough can stretch the cat's abdomen and cause a lot of pain.
Photo: Shutterstock Onions and Garlic
 Any form of onions and garlic can destroy a cat's red blood cells and lead to anemia.
Photo: Shutterstock Candy and Gum
 Candy and gum contain xylitol which makes the foods sweet. This chemical can cause an increase in the insulin in the cat's body. Which can cause your cat's blood sugar to drop and can also cause liver failure.
Photo: Shutterstock Raw Eggs
 Feeding your cat raw eggs increases the chance of food poisoning from bacteria like Salmonella and E Coli.There is also an enzyme in raw egg white that interferes with the absorption of a the B vitamin biotin.
Photo: Shutterstock Trimmed Fat
 Trimmed fat from meat, both cooked and uncooked, can cause the intestines to become upset in cats and the bones can splinter and cause an obstruction to your cat's digestive system.
Photo: Shutterstock Grapes
 Grapes and raisins cause kidney failure in cats but it isn't clear as to why. Just a small amount can make your cat sick.
Photo: Shutterstock Alcohol
 Alcohol has the same effect on a cat's liver and brain as it does to a human's liver and brain. Only two teaspoons of whisky can cause put a 5-pound cat in a coma, and one more teaspoon could kill.
Photo: Shutterstock Dairy Products
 Surprisingly, most cats are lactose-intolerant. Their digestive system can't process dairy foods.
Photo: Shutterstock Dog Food
 Dog food should never be substituted for cat food. Cat food has more protein and certain vitamins and fatty acids that cats need.
Photo: Shutterstock Tuna
 Cats become addicted to tuna. Whether it's packed in a can, or tuna for humans. Too much tuna can cause mercury poisoning.
Photo: Shutterstock Liver
 Eating very small portions of liver from time to time is okay, but feeding your cat too much liver can cause vitamin A toxicity which is a serious condition that can affect the bones of your cat.
Photo: Shutterstock Chocolate
 Normally, cats won't eat chocolate by themselves, but their owners can talk them into it. The agent in chocolate is theobromine. This is in all kinds of chocolate. The smallest amounts of chocolate can cause your cat to become very ill. Larger amounts can also cause abnormal heart rhythm, tremors, seizures, and death.
Photo: Shutterstock Raw Meat
 Raw meat and raw fish can cause food poisoning from Salmonella and E Coli, but the risk is higher because there are more choices of meet and fish that can bring different harmful bacteria. There is an enzyme in raw fish that destroys thiamine, which is an important B vitamin for your cat. A lack of this B vitamin can cause serious neurological problems and lead to convulsions and coma.
Photo: Shutterstock Common Medicines
 Ingredients in common medicine taken by humans such as acetaminophen and ibuprofen are common in pain relievers and cold medicine to us but, they can be deadly for your cat.

Cut Scenes From Hell
Despise them.
NBA 2K11 loves them. With all its heart.
I am playing on full 12 min. quarters and games are taking a LONG time, because, well, I'm on 12 min quarters but also because every play stoppage, every sub, every free throw, 2K wants to show me how "TV Like" its game is.
I DO NOT CARE who the Sprite Player of whatever is, or the Gatorade whatever moment is. I do not need the Gatorade sub screen to show me who is coming in and out of the game. A quick flash of subs is all I need. I sure as hell don't need up close shots of players after a play.
Now, you are supposed to be able to turn that shit off, but in the presentation menu I only see a few options for such things and I still get to see these intermittent cut scenes far too often in this game.
GET ME TO THE ACTION. I don't give a shit if this is "just like it is on television."
This isn't television. I have shit to do. I am wearing out the A button on my controller pleading with NBA 2K11 to stop showing me stuff that has nothing to do with me playing the game.
As for the game itself, it's good, it's bad, and I hate Michael Jordan.
Seriously, it is a very challenging game when playing on the "PRO SIM" mode. I lost to the 76ers 104-101 as Boston in overtime. I didn't care to see Even Turner killing me with 3s because ...Even Turner shouldn't do that, but overall it feels pretty authentic.
I STILL think t egame is best played by gamepad gurus who can master a million different moves, and I still hate that slow PFers who get caught in rotation on Rondo can guard him like they are John Starks...but hey..

Why do games even show those reaction shots of their players? They models and animations aren't done well enough to justify the extra attention, much less make me watch them without saying, "Yeah, that's what real people look/act like," sarcastically.

Looking forward to how this year's edition stands up against the now-standard "Garnett test". Though, it might need to be another player this year, depending on KG's stats in the game...

I totally agree, I guess I'm one of the few people who don't scream for better presentation, I just want to play my sports game with a realistic clock setting in a reasonable amount of time, without halftime shows or "play of the game" or watching a coach talk to a player on a sideline. Just let me turn the stuff off already and let the people who want it leave it on, done and done.

Former Anthrax Guitarist's wife not pressing charges after assault arrest
Listen to Anthrax on iHeartRadio
It turns out former Anthrax guitarist Dan Spitz's alleged Christmas morning assault was nothing but a "big misunderstanding." That's what the rocker's wife Candi called it in an interview with GossipExtra.com. She said Spitz never hit her, although she admits he did shove her and she did bruise her shoulder.
Spitz was arrested after Candi's mother called 911, but Candi says the call should never have been made. She says she won't be pressing charges against her husband, and attributes the confrontation to "astronomical" stress levels at home. She adds that they had all been drinking wine, and that Christmas Eve was the first anniversary of the couple's temporary week-long separation.

Eric Holder Gets Serious About Limiting Speech, Investigates Obama Outhouse Parade Float
The U.S. Department of Justice is investigating a float that appeared at the annual Fourth of July parade in the small town of Norfolk, Neb. because the float featured a blue flatbed truck carrying a zombie-looking mannequin in overalls on the door of an outhouse labeled "OBAMA PRESIDENTIAL LIBRARY."
The Justice Department sent a member of its Community Relations Service team to Norfolk (pronounced "Norfork" by many locals), reports the Omaha World-Herald.
The Community Relations Service team investigates disputes concerning discrimination.
The Justice Department bureaucrat attended a meeting on Thursday about the float fracas. Also in attendance at the meeting were representatives of the NAACP, the town mayor and members of The Independent Order of Odd Fellows, the group that organizes the yearly parade.
The man behind the controversial float, Dale Remmich, has explained that the overalls-clad mannequin in front of the outhouse represented himself — not President Barack Obama. The point he was trying to make concerned his frustration with Obama's mismanagement of the Veterans Affairs Department. (RELATED: Obama Administration Knew About VA's Secret Wait Lists For Years)
News, Weather and Sports for Lincoln, NE; KLKNTV.com
The kerfuffle began after parade attendee Glory Kathurima, a native of Kenya, became deeply unhappy about the float. (RELATED: Obama Outhouse Parade Float Infuriates Nebraska Woman)
"I'm angry and I'm scared," she told a reporter from the Lincoln Journal Star. "This float was not just political; this was absolutely a racial statement."

Appy notes: Granite 'scrappy' at the top
E-Twins center fielder flashing speed, patience in leadoff spot
By Bob Sutton / Special to MiLB.com | August 15, 2013 6:00 AM ET
Some of center fielder Zach Granite's comfort went away about midway through the Appalachian League season, but he's finding his way around just fine anyway.
By nature, Granite tries to be a pest on the baseball field, and that's been the case as he's one of the sparkplugs for the Elizabethton Twins in his first professional season.
Granite and reliever Brian Gilbert, also from Seton Hall, arrived in the rookie league and roomed together -- just like in college.
"We've been roommates since sophomore year and best friends," Granite said. "It was cool to come here with him."
Then Gilbert was given another assignment within the Minnesota system, promoted to Class A Cedar Rapids after tossing six scoreless innings to open his career. Granite, meanwhile, keeps on doing his thing for the E-Twins.
"We needed a leadoff guy," veteran Elizabethton manager Ray Smith said. "He has been a solid, prototypical type of guy."
Smith said Granite's tendency to go deep into counts is a positive trait. But there's one thing that stands out on the bases and in the outfield.
"He can fly," Smith said, "and that's going to be his thing."
Granite said maintaining a role he held throughout college -- batting in the leadoff spot and playing center field -- has been a benefit as he gains his footing in a new environment.
"It has been nice for me, just leading off and trying to do my thing," he said. "They stress it with me. It puts pressure on the defense. I'm a contact guy and put the ball in play.
"That's the type of player I am. I'm the scrappy player who no one wants to play against."
The Draft, though, put Granite in an element of unknown. He said it was one of the most agonizing periods but turned into one of the best.
Gilbert was picked a day earlier, going in the seventh round. Granite, a left-handed batter who was tabbed in the 14th round, said he benefited from being around when scouts came to watch Gilbert.
"Might as well look at me, too," he said. "I'm glad where I went and with the Twins."
Granite was a member of Seton Hall's Big East Conference championship team as a freshman in 2011.
For a player from Staten Island, N.Y., who dealt with all sorts of playing conditions during his college years, he knows how to deal with the altered schedules created by the rainy summer around the Appalachian League. He said that experience has been a plus as he makes his way through this summer's schedule.
In brief
Slammed again: Rory Rhodes of Elizabethton hit a seventh-inning grand slam to help beat the Burlington Royals on Sunday. It was Elizabethton's first grand slam since D.J. Hicks' championship-winning blast in the 12th inning of the deciding game of the 2012 Appalachian League Finals, also against Burlington.
Another hitman: Danville Braves infielder Johan Camargo became the team's second batter in a matter of days to reach a double-digit hitting streak when he was good for 14 games through Tuesday. Second baseman Mikey Reynolds' streak reached 12 games, though he walked three times in the game the streak ended.
Peculiar production patterns: The Princeton Rays scored in double figures twice in the first 10 days of August after rarely scoring more than six runs in a game all season. In Saturday's 13-12 victory at Pulaski, the Rays managed only five RBIs, which equaled the total put up by Pulaski right fielder Jesus Ugueto. He produced 12 RBIs in a six-game span.

Nine of the district's 12 public schools will see a new principal or vice principal for the 2012-2013 school year. The district will also be without an assistant superintendent.
Assistant superintendent Gina Tovine has left the county to take a similar job in Orange County schools. Because of a stretched budget, the district doesn't plan to fill the position for the immediate future.
"We're asking schools to make cuts so we have to do the same thing," said Director of Administration Jeff Edison.

Dead lawn mower?
When you're staring at a yard full of grass that desperately needed cutting two weeks ago, the last thing you want is a lawn mower engine that won't fire up.
Before you have a heart attack pulling on the rip cord of your lawn mower (or snow blower), check the fuel and carburetor. They're the root causes of more than 80 percent of all no-starts. I'll walk you through the steps.
You'll need hand tools and a socket set, a can of carburetor cleaner and your air compressor. And you'll probably have to make a trip to the small-engine parts store. But after an hour of effort, you just might have an operational engine, and you'll save a bundle by fixing it yourself. Let's dig in.
Check the plug
I'll assume you've cleaned the air filter, so the next step is to remove the spark plug to see if it's wet. If it is, there's no way the engine will start. So clean the plug with carburetor cleaner and let it dry. Cleaning it with compressed air isn't enough; you need a solvent to remove oil residue. If the plug was wet, move on to Step 3. If it was dry, skip to Step 4. If the fuel is more than a month old, dispose of it properly and refill the tank with fresh gas. Then reinstall the spark plug and try starting. It may take quite a few pulls to suck the new gas into the carburetor, so be prepared to clean and dry the plug a few more times.
Check the carburetor bowl for gas
Photo 4: Fellow DIYer's solution for corroded carburetor
An anonymous reader from Oakland, ME took issue with my statement that finding corrosion in a small engine carburetor means "game over." Instead he advises boiling the disassembled carburetor in vinegar for 30 minutes. He says the pitting will remain, but the vinegar will remove the rest of the corrosion. Since vinegar is cheap, you've got nothing to lose but time.
The engine can't get gas if the fuel filter is plugged or the carburetor inlet needle is stuck. Check the fuel filter (if equipped) by removing the fuel line at the carburetor. Gas should run out. If it doesn't, remove the fuel line ahead of the fuel filter inlet. If gas flows, the filter is clogged. Replace it. If you still don't get any gas, the fuel line is kinked or plugged. And check inside the tank for any debris that might clog the outlet.
If you're getting gas to the carburetor, check to see if there's any fuel in the bowl. Clamp off the fuel line with a C-clamp. Then remove the bowl (Photo 1). If the bowl is empty, the problem is a stuck inlet needle and seat. They're easy and cheap to replace (Photo 2). But before you buy the parts, check the condition of the rest of the carburetor's interior (Photo 3). If you see any corrosion, it's "game over." A corroded carburetor is a dead carburetor. Replace it.
Clean the jet
A clogged main jet is a pretty common problem. You can try cleaning it with spray carburetor cleaner (Photo 4). Then try starting. If the engine still isn't getting gas, replace the carburetor.
If it starts but runs rough
If you got the engine to start by cleaning the main jet, but it runs rough or the idle speed surges, you have two choices—rebuild or replace the carburetor. For rebuilding instructions, see "How to repair small engines." Otherwise, disconnect the old carburetor from the linkage, remove the two retaining bolts and slap on a new carburetor.
