text: How much of an afterthought is the Rule 5 draft these days? Well, during the 2009 Winter Meetings, the minor leagues were based in one hotel, major league executives and media in another, and the trade show was in the convention center, basically in the middle. The Rule 5 was in a third hotel next door, sort of off to the side, where little other Winter Meetings activity transpired.

A few weeks ago, I had a short conversation with @dawnwow on Twitter who said to me that she had always felt like pico de gallo was a flavor short of being Thai. I completely agreed with her. In fact, if you're familiar with both Mexican and Thai cuisines, surely you've noticed some similarities as well (compare the roasted tomato sauce accompanying "crying tiger" in Simple Thai Food with roasted tomato salsa, for example).
That dialogue reminded me of a quick relish I frequently made when I was a new student in the US which, for some reason, I don't make nearly as often any more. Back then, though, I practically lived on it. There would always be a batch in the refrigerator, ready to be used on anything I could afford to make or bring home. As a cash-challenged student, those things usually included a Thai omelet, some hard-boiled or medium-boiled eggs, or a store-bought rotisserie chicken one of which would last me for 3-4 days.
There were a small repertoire of quick, simple, affordable, and highly versatile dishes like this relish that saw me through those days when I had very little time and even less money. In many ways, I feel I owe my life to them. Continue Reading →

Kim Kardashian With a Mystery Man at LAX
So Kim is now proving that wearing black does not make you look slimmer.
Kimmie thinks that having her face shots taken with her looking downwards makes her look better (it doesn't). The Paps know this so they keep crouching farther and farther down to take their shots. So Kimmie starts bending at the waist, and the Paps crouch down even more. I can't wait 'till she starts walking through airports doubled over at the waist.
why do people think she is hot? she looks pregnant.

text: Such wiki sites would be very interesting. Some of the articles in Wikipedia are so frequently updated they are analogous to constantly-updated news stories. Actually, just in general, I am compiling a list - hopefully - of different and interesting ways of finding and presenting news. For example - http://www.frustratedcities.com/ - which compared four types of news systems' coverage side by side in four columns on a "live" basis. (You can also choose two words or phrases and have the page highlight them for you wherever they appear in the news annotations.

LONDON (Reuters) - European Union regulators warned investors on Thursday of the dangers of buying contracts for difference (CFDs), a type of derivative that offers potentially high returns.
CFDs are derivatives contracts that bet on price moves of an asset, such as a company's shares, without having to own the underlying asset.
"These products appear to promise investors substantial returns at a low cost but may ultimately cost them far more than they may have intended or could afford to lose," the European Banking Authority and the European Securities and Markets Authority said in a joint statement.
It was ESMA's third warning - it warned on foreign exchange in December 2011 and on using the Internet in September 2012 - a sign of how the EU playing a greater role in consumer protection, an area which has been the preserve of national authorities.
Sellers of CFDs are regulated and required to warn investors about the risk they face but regulators worry such warnings are not being given. They say investors should only consider trading CFDs if they have extensive experience of trading in volatile markets.
CFDs were only suitable for very short term bets or for hedging against an exposure the investor has elsewhere and were not suitable for holding for any length of time.
The regulators also warned about offers of "free start up money", gifts, discounted fees or trading tutorials to attract new clients.
"If investors do not understand what's on offer, they should not trade," the regulators said.
CFDs have become popular across Europe, especially in Britain as they are not subject to the UK stamp duty tax on share trades. Buyers only have to put down a small deposit of the total value of the trade.
"There is no denying that trading leveraged products like CFDs are risky. They can magnify your gains and your losses so it's possible to lose more than your deposit," said Angus Campbell, head of market analysis at Capital Spreads, which offers CFDs.
"As a CFD provider regulated by the Financial Services Authority, we have to make our clients aware of those risks before they trade," Campbell said.

(CNSNews.com) – If a "personnel security investigation" reveals that a soldier is homosexual, that information cannot be used as grounds to remove the soldier from the armed forces under the newly revised "don't ask, don't tell" (DADT) policy, the Defense Department told CNSNews.com.
Under DADT, the military does not ask new recruits (as it once did) to state whether they are homosexual or not. However, existing law -- Article 10, Section 654 of U.S. Code -- makes it illegal and a cause for separation from the service for a member of the military to reveal that they are homosexual or bisexual or to engage in homosexual or bisexual conduct while serving in the armed forces.
CNSNews.com asked the Department of Defense, "If it is revealed through a security clearance that a service member is a homosexual and/or has engaged in homosexual activity, they would or would not be discharged under these new rules?"
Defense Department spokeswoman Cynthia O. Smith said: "Under the revised regulations, information about a service member's sexual orientation or conduct obtained in the course of a personnel security investigation will not be used for purposes of discharging a service member for homosexual conduct."
"If a commander received other credible information that the service member had engaged in homosexual conduct (including making a statement that he or she is homosexual or bisexual), then the member could be separated for that," said Smith.
Defense Secretary Robert Gates announced the revised DADT regulations during a press conference on March 25.
"We will revise what constitutes credible information to begin an inquiry or separation proceeding by, for example, specifying that information provided by third parties should be given under oath, and by discouraging the use of overheard statements and hearsay," he said.
"We will revise what constitutes a 'reliable person' upon whose word an inquiry could be initiated," said Gates, "with special scrutiny on third parties who may be motivated to harm the service member."
During his remarks, Gates listed the type of information that will no longer be used in "support of discharges" from the armed forces, as follows:
"Information provided to lawyers, clergy, and psychotherapists; information provided to a medical professional in furtherance of medical treatment or a public-health official in the course of a public-health inquiry; information provided in the course of seeking professional assistance for domestic or physical abuse; and information obtained in the course of security-clearance investigations, in accordance with existing Department of Defense policies."
The Department of Defense did not return CNSNews.com's follow-up inquiries on the DADT policy changes.

There are plenty of digital agencies offering SEO and PPC services, but how can you separate those which are not to be trusted from those that will provide a high quality, reputable service? A good way of telling is to check the company's accreditation.
theEword was recently named as one of the ten best search engine optimisation agencies in the UK. The accolade was given to us by independent search authority TopSEOs after clients they surveyed gave us a rating of Excellent for the services we provide. Read more about our Top SEO Manchester honours.
Google AdWords accreditation
theEword is a Google AdWords Qualified Company, which means we've gained full accreditation from Google to run PPC campaigns for our clients. The award is a marker of trust and quality, given out to companies which meet strict criteria and are capable of displaying an outstanding level of proficiency in using the AdWords system.
Many SEO and digital marketing agencies employ AdWords Qualified Individuals (and display the certificate on their website), but theEword is one of the few agencies to hold the status of a fully certified Google AdWords Qualified Company.
To gain full accreditation as a Google AdWords Qualified Company, agencies must fulfil two stringent criteria. Firstly, they must commit to a minimum 90-day client spend (Circa. £70,000); secondly, companies must employ at least two Google AdWords Qualified Individuals.
theEword is an AdWords Qualified Company
For those members of staff to become Google AdWords Qualified Individuals, they have to sign up to the programme and manage at least one client account for 90 days, building and maintaining a minimum spend of around £70,000 over the course of the period.
In addition to this, they must pass the Google Advertising Professional Exam. The test consists of just over 100 questions, which have to be answered in under 90 minutes. In order to pass, candidates must get a score of at least 75 per cent.
Two members of theEword team are fully accredited Google AdWords Qualified Individuals. Online marketing manager Mark Baker has held the award for a number of years (he has passed the exam twice – he retook it when theEword became a Google AdWords Qualified Company), and Managing Director Al Mackin also has Google AdWords Qualified Individual status.
Both Mark and Al passed the exam with flying colours, coming away with test scores in the high 90s – well above the 75 per cent pass rate. Each of them has been involved in the subsequent training of other team members, meaning that all key staff at theEword have a good understanding of AdWords, how it works and its importance in online marketing.Al has been optimising pay per click campaigns, including AdWords, Yahoo Search Marketing (previously known as Overture), MSN adCenter and Miva since 2003, while Mark has been working on high level campaigns since 2005.

SYDNEY – Feed Nova Scotia has announced that it has found a new executive director.
After an extensive search process, it has found a replacement for Dianne Swinemar, who will retire from the organization this month. The successful candidate is Nick Jennery, who brings to the position more than 30 years of experience with national and provincial associations and the food industry.
In a news release, Paul Kidston, Chair of the Board of Directors, commented on Jennery's clarity of vision, strong understanding of Feed Nova Scotia's core values, and commitment to collaboration and rallying stakeholders around a common goal.
"He has the experience, charisma and passion we were looking for. And I have every confidence that he will pick up the reins with tenacity to ensure that Feed Nova Scotia continues to move forward in our mission to alleviate the effects of poverty on Nova Scotians," Kidston said.
Jennery's experience includes serving as CEO of the Winery Association of Nova Scotia; president and CEO of the Canadian Council of Grocery Distributors; senior vice-president of Grocery Products Manufacturers of Canada; and executive director of the Tea and Coffee Association of Canada.
I come to the organization with great admiration for all that has been accomplished by such a respected and committed team under Dianne's leadership, and I look forward to working with our partners in finding and aligning support around sustainable solutions to alleviate the effects of poverty," Jennery said in the release.
Jennery will begin at Feed Nova Scotia on July 21.

PARIS (Dec. 1)
More than 200 messages from Jewish leaders in all parts of Europe — except the Nazi territories — were received today by the European office of the American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee in connection with the relief organization's 25th anniversary, which will be marked this week-end in the United States.
Coming from virtually every important Jewish leader in a score of countries, these messages stressed the great work of salvation done by the J.D.C. for millions of needy Jews in Europe up to the present and its historic mission at a time of unprecedented Jewish catastrophe.
Outstanding among the messages were those of Dr. Chaim Weizmann, president of the World Zionist Organization and Jewish Agency for Palestine; Barons Edouard and Robert de Rothschild of France; Sir Osmond d' Avigdor Goldsmid of England, Prof. William E. Rappard of Switzerland and Senator Justin Godart of France. Those from the various Jewish communities in Central and Eastern Europe were touching.
Dr. Weizmann wired: "I am sending to the Joint my heartiest congratulations on the completion of 25 years of magnificent work in behalf of suffering and oppressed Jewry. The Joint has earned the gratitude of Jews throughout the world. Its wise and generous administration of relief funds has saved thousands from despair. I pray that its work may be continued and extended during the dark days before us."
In similar vein were messages from the Board of Deputies of British Jews in London, the World Jewish Congress in Geneva, the Alliance Israelite Universelle in Paris, the Jewish Colonization Association, HIAS-ICA Emigration Association, World ORT Union, the OZE, the Quaker relief organization and the federations of Jewish communities in France, Switzerland, Belgium, Italy, Hungary, Yugoslavia, Rumania, Greece, Latvia, Lithuania, Bulgaria, Slovakia, Luxemburg, Turkey, Finland, Sweden, Portugal and others.
Morris C. Troper, chairman of the J.D.C. 's European Executive Council, sent the following message to the 25th anniversary conference of the relief organization which will be held in Chicago this week-end:
"My deep regret in not being with you in your deliberations today is exceeded only by the determination to remain on the bridge during the hurricane through which we are now passing.
"Once more the pitiful, pain-wracked and starvation-marked faces of decent men, women and children look westward, all now in one single category of war sufferers looking to you and to you alone for assistance.
"Once more the organization born in war is asked to become the pivotal agency in bringing war relief. Once more refugees stalk the open highways and barren wastes of no-man's-lands with their bodies mutilated and their hours numbered.
"Once more American and Americans are looked to for a modicum of help and assistance for those uprooted from an already abnormal existence, for those torn asunder from all vestige of hope, for those for whom in their stark nakedness and degradation, death seems the only escape.
"I know what it means, after the year of fund-raising through which you have just passed, once more to attempt to raise the necessary wherewithal even fractionally sufficient to cope with the present situation. And yet, with full realization thereof, I feel it my duty to tell you that unless you come forward again with the utmost resolve and generosity to help in this situation, there will be no help, and even worse, no hope.
"Like the great nations fighting for principles for which so many of their sons have fallen, we too have our honored dead, who during their lives nobly carried on the work in behalf of the downtrodden, the persecuted and the underprivileged.
"Let us be true to the memory of Jacob Schiff, Louis Marshall, Julius Rosenwald, Felix Warburg, Cyrus Sulzberger, Arthur Lehman and so many others who so unselfishly gave their all to this cause. Millions are present with you in your deliberations today. They have faith that their urgent pleas, though physically unspoken, will be heard and answered by you."

This unexpected discovery has raised hopes that acute diabetics could one day be helped to make the drug inside their bodies. They would no longer need daily insulin injections and would be able to control their blood glucose levels far more precisely than at present - although scientists stress it will take several years' further development before the technique can be perfected for humans.
'This is the holy grail of diabetes research, and the project suggests we could actually achieve it,' said Annwen Jones, executive director of the Juvenile Diabetes Foundation.
The discovery that injections of pure DNA can have a physiological effect has surprised many researchers. Until recently, it was assumed that, if DNA were injected into the bloodstream without a chemical or biological protective coating, it would be broken up by the body's immune defences.
But in the past two or three years scientists have found that patients with illnesses such as cystic fibrosis and muscular dystrophy will respond to direct DNA injections. Now Aberdeen University scientists have found unadulterated DNA can produce a similar impact on insulin production.
'Injecting raw DNA may seem unusual,' said Professor Kevin Docherty, of Aberdeen's Institute of Medical Sciences. 'Nevertheless, it works. We have taken the gene that controls the manufacture of insulin in humans, put it into animals, and watched them produce the chemical in their blood.'
Insulin controls the rate at which our bodies absorb glucose, a chemical that provides our muscles with energy. Without insulin, people cannot make use of glucose and are starved of their main source energy. Administering insulin, usually through injections, helps to control glucose levels. But the technique is relatively crude. Glucose levels still fluctuate wildly and diabetics continue to suffer because elevated levels of the chemical cause damage to their organs.
The disease is the principal cause of blindness in this country. In addition, diabetics can suffer kidney damage and strokes and require amputations. 'On its own a regime of daily injections is painful, inconvenient and leaves a person vulnerable to complications and infections,' added Annwen Jones. As a result, scientists have tried for several decades to find an alternative - as yet without success. However, the Aberdeen research has raised hopes of progress.
'Insulin is made by one special type of cell in the pancreas,' said Docherty. 'If these are killed off, then the body has no reserve source.' So Docherty, along with collaborator Jim Shaw, decided to try to persuade other types of cell to make insulin instead. They took the gene which makes insulin in humans and spliced it into muscle cells in rats. These were then injected back into the leg muscles, where they began to make insulin that could be released into their bloodstreams.
'That was very encouraging,' said Docherty. 'It suggested we could engineer diabetics' muscle cells to make insulin, and return them to their bodies. But such treatments would require surgery, perhaps several times a year, and, while that might be preferable to daily injections, it is still not perfect.'
Adopting a different strategy, the researchers took the gene for human insulin, grew millionfold copies of it, and then injected these directly into rats. When the animals' blood was monitored it was found that human insulin was being secreted into it.
'We don't understand how this DNA is taken up by cells and incorporated in their own genes. Nevertheless it happens and that is enormously encouraging,' said Docherty. 'It means we could avoid surgery but still get diabetics to start making insulin in their bodies. 'However, that production would probably be a constant process. Ideally, we want to find a way to boost insulin output at meal times when it is most needed and decrease it during sleep and rest periods. That won't be easy but I'm confident we can do that.'

We had a super time making our own tortillas when studying about Mexico. I can't tell which were the cheesiest- the tortillas or the smiles on Jonathan and Madison!
On a side note- while it was a fun project, I think I am content to allow Costco to keep providing me with the uncooked tortilla dough. These are hard to roll thin.

I am using Office Basic Edition 2003 with Outlook as my email program. In
the past I have been able to insert many photos in an email without the email
becoming a large file. I have started with around 1MB jpeg files and they
have been reduced in size and included as pictures in the email. (Insert,
picture, from file) The email has remained small.
Recently using the same process I have ended up with huge emails, as an
example four 1MB photos ended up creating an email file of 21MB!!!
Can anyone help with what I can do to get each pictue down to say less than
100KB so I can email maybe 20 pictures at a time.
I can insert the full sized files in an email satisfactorily, but 20
pictures of 1MB will give me a 20MB+ email file size which is unrealistic to
handle, hence at the moment I have been reduced to sending pictures 2 or 3 at
a time. Not efficient time wise.

VIKINGS, godesses and medieval characters are preparing for this year's Horndon Feast and Fayre weekend.
The theme for this year's event, held on Saturday, June 29 and Sunday, June 30 is a Celebration of the River Thames through the Ages.
The organising committee is celebrating the role the river has played from the Middle Ages when it was used by merchants to the shipping and port activity of today.
The event runs from 9am until 6pm on Saturday and 9am until 5pm on Sunday with live music, refreshments, Viking re-enactments and, of course, the famed Rotary Club of Thurrock Gateway 10k run starting at 10am on Sunday.
The mediaeval Church of St Peter and St Paul will have a special display of flowers on the theme of the Thames and some genuine Essex Vikings will be encamped in The Swan Car Park for the duration of the weekend.
The "Eastend to Southend" exhibition will also be open at the Swan Gallery, upstairs at The Swan, from 1pm until 11pm both days.
The Swan Gallery was created last summer by members of the Dacha art group in Horndon, with support from landlady Rita, in time to host an exhibition by local artists for the first ever Thurrock Art Trail. The exhibition will run until July 2.

Next week, baseball's 84th All Star Game will be played at Citifield, home of the New York Mets. As has become the tradition over the last several years, the game will be preceded by a home run hitting contest and various special events featuring non-baseball celebrities. But during the World War II era, the Mid-Summer Classic was at risk of being cancelled. Baseball's future was also in doubt.
When President Franklin Roosevelt signed the Selective Training and Service Act in 1940, every American male between the ages of 21 and 36 was required to register for 12 months of military service "to ensure the independence and freedom of the United States." The draft put nearly two million men in uniform by the end of 1941 including many of baseball's greatest stars.
Baseball's commissioner Kenesaw Mountain Landis, worried that playing baseball while America was at war would be frivolous, wrote to President Roosevelt for guidance. Roosevelt in his famous Green Light letter wrote back: "I honestly feel that it would be best for the country to keep baseball going."
As global hostilities intensified in 1941, major league baseball hit its zenith. Ted Williams batted .406, Joe DiMaggio hit safely in 56 consecutive games, 41-year-old Lefty Grove got his 300th career win, and Dodgers' catcher Mickey Owen was forever immortalized for mishandling a pitch that cost Brooklyn the World Series. But that year, baseball bid a resounding farewell to players as they went off to war. The players responded patriotically and vowed to defend the nation with as much dedication as they had devoted to their honing their baseball skills
The Philadelphia Phillies' veteran Hugh "Losing Pitcher" Mulcahy was the first major league player drafted. The 27-year-old right-hander earned his nickname by losing 76 games between 1937 and 1940 as a starter with the National League's worst team. After Mulcahy answered his call on March 8, 1941, he proudly told The Sporting News, "My losing streak is over for the duration ... I'm on a winning team now."
Detroit Slugger Hank Greenberg, a celebrated star and future Hall of Famer, received his call on May 7, 1941. "Hammerin' Hank" had played in three World Series and two All Star games. In 1938, Greenberg hit 58 home runs in 1938 — just two short of Babe Ruth's 1927 record — and was the 1940 American League's Most Valuable Player. Greenberg gave up his $55,000 yearly salary for $21 per month Army pay and reported to Fort Custer, Michigan. In an interview with The Sporting News Greenberg said, "If there's any last message to be given to the public, let it be that I'm going to be a good soldier."
Because his father was terminally ill back home in Iowa, the Cleveland Indians' fireballing Bob Feller was draft-exempt. Nevertheless, at the peak of his Hall of Fame dominance, Feller enlisted two days after the December 7, 1941 Pearl Harbor attack. Feller, who lost four years of his playing career to the war, later wrote that he was "proud to serve his country during its time of need."
More than 500 major league players swapped flannels for khakis during World War II, and such well-known players as Stan Musial, Joe DiMaggio, Phil Rizzuto, Pee Wee Reese as well as Williams (who also had a tour in Korea), Feller and Greenberg willingly did their patriotic duty. Two others who appeared only briefly on major league rosters died in combat. They were Washington Senators' outfielder Elmer Gedeon and Philadelphia Athletics' catcher Harry O'Neill.
As Feller recalled his war experiences, "Survivors come home. The soldiers that didn't come back are the heroes."

Ada Wong (エイダ・ウォン Eida Won ) is a fictional character in the Resident Evil franchise by Capcom, introduced in Resident Evil 2 in 1998. Ada is a mysterious and ambiguous antihero figure, working for the series' villains but also helping the protagonist Leon. She is widely regarded as the most popular female characters in the series, alongside Jill, and also as one of the most attractive female characters in video games in general. The film version of Ada is set to appear in Resident Evil: Retribution, portrayed by Li Bingbing.
Character design
When Resident Evil 2 was still in development, Ada was known as a researcher named Linda who aided Leon across the game, but was changed for the game's final form.[4]
Ada is voiced by Sally Cahill in Resident Evil 2, Resident Evil 4 and The Darkside Chronicles,[5] and by an uncredited actress in The Umbrella Chronicles.[6] Cahill said that getting the part of Ada came from doing other voices for the company.[7]</blockquote> Ada's costumes are a red casul outfit as seen in RE2, her now-iconic red dress from RE4 (including appearing with a Tommy gun[8] in a homage reference to the 1979 gangster film The Lady in Red), and a black combat suit from the same game.[9]
In video games
An American woman of Chinese descent,[10] Ada is first mentioned in the original Resident Evil, in a letter written by a dying Umbrella Corporation researcher named John. She makes her first appearance in Resident Evil 2 where she is a spy sent to recover a sample of the deadly G-virus from the Umbrella's lab in the zombie-overrun Raccoon City, working for the mysterious "organization".[11] Ada poses as a bystander who is searching for her missing boyfriend, John, when she meets Leon S. Kennedy, a rookie police officer trapped in the city.[12] Her secret agenda is exposed, but (depending on which scenario is played) she is seriously wounded by either Annette Birkin or the Tyrant T-103. An epilogue in Resident Evil 3: Nemesis as well as a fictional documentary in Code: Veronica confirm that Ada survived the ordeal. Ada's role in Resident Evil 2 is explored in more detail in Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles[13] and Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles.[14] She also appears as a playable character in another RE2 spin-off game, Operation Raccoon City, in its multiplayer Heroes Mode.[15]
Her next appearance was in Resident Evil 4, where she assists Leon in his mission to rescue the U.S. President's daughter Ashley Graham, although her true objective is to obtain a sample of the Las Plagas parasites for Albert Wesker.[16][17] Ada appears in the game's sub-scenario "Assignment: Ada", as well as in the "Mercenaries" mode. A new scenario starring Ada, titled "Separate Ways", which depicts the events of the main game from Ada's perspective,[18] as well as a fictional documentary titled "Ada's Report", where she describes her involvement with other characters in the story, were added to the PlayStation 2, PC, Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and Wii ports.[19] In her report, it is revealed that she works for a different organization than Wesker's, and stole the dominant species Plaga sample for herself, sending Wesker a mere subordinate species sample. She also alludes to her "true purpose", which is as yet unknown.
It is confirmed that she will become playable in Resident Evil 6, after the player finishes the storylines for its main characters Leon, Chris Redfield and Jake Muller.[20] Hints dropped in the trailers seem to show that Ada has become a more villainous character, helping with the bio-terrorist attacks on various cities.
In other media
Ada was featured in the 1998-1999 manhua Shēnghuà Wēijī 2 ("Biohazard 2").[21] A romantic comedy retelling of the story of Resident Evil 2, centered on Leon, Claire and Ada, was released in the Taiwanese two-issue comic Èlíng Gǔbǎo II in 1999.[22]
Capcom sceewriters created two Resident Evil 2 radio dramas, broadcast on Radio Osaka in early 1999, and later released by publisher Suleputer as two separate CDs with the common title Biohazard 2 Drama Album.[23][24] One of them is Ikiteita Onna Spy Ada (lit. "Ada, the Female Spy, is Alive"). Set a few days after the events of the game, it deals with Ada's mission to retrieve Sherry Birkin's pendant with the G-virus sample from Hunk. Ada intercepts the delivery of the locket in the village of Loire in France, eliminating Hunk and his men, then survives an accidental T-virus leak. Ada escapes and realizes her feelings for Leon, deciding to quit the spy business and return to him.[23] Canonically, the characters' story arcs are continued differently, as Ada keeps the pendant with the G-virus and resumes her activities as a spy.[25][26]
In 2011, Li Bingbing was cast as Ada for the upcoming live-action film Resident Evil: Retribution.[2] In the film, Ada will be held captive by Jill Valentine,[27] and will fight against Jill and Bad Rain.[28]
Cultural impact
Producers of the Resident Evil live-action film series reportedly "chose her as a foundation for Alice."[8]
Two action figures of Ada were included in the figure sets Resident Evil 2: Platinum Edition 2 by Toy Biz (1998)[30][31] and Resident Evil 4: Series 1 by NECA (2005).[32][33] Hot Toys announced a 1/6 scale figure of Ada in 2011.[34][35] A few more Ada statuettes were also released in Japan only.[36][37] In 2011, Ada Wong was added to Bandai's Resident Evil Deck Building Game in the expansion Nightmare.[29]
Ada was generally very well received by critics. In 2007, Ada was featured by Tom's Games among the 50 greatest female characters in video game history (with a suggestion that she should be played by Kelly Hu in the live-action Resident Evil series),[38] was ranked second on the list of top "video game chicks" by ActionTrip,[39] and, together with Leon, she was also included in The Inquirer's list of the most memorable video game love teams.[40] GameDaily featured her as their Babe of the Week in 2007 (described as a "gun-toting hottie" with capabilities to star in her own video game),[41] also including her in the 2009 Babe of the Week galleries Asian Beauties[42] and the Girl Power (listed along with Claire Redfield, Jill and Sheva Alomar).[43] In 2011, Complex ranked her as 19th on the list of "most diabolical video game she-villains", noting her "dragon-lady qualities."[44] The Escapist found Ada to be an admirable feminist icon in light of the philosophies of French existentialist Simone de Beauvoir.[45] According to Rely on Horror, "Basically, Ada could be seen as the female version of Wesker. She's a true femme fatale."[46] According to Li Binbing, the character is very popular in China.[28]
Ada has been often regarded as one of the most sexy female characters in all of video gaming. In 2008, UGO ranked Ada as fourth on their list of "videogame hotties", describing her as "drop dead gorgeous" and stating that they anticipate what the series has in store for her in the future,[47] while GameDaily ranked her as 12th on their list of "hottest game babes".[48] In 2009, MSN featured her in the list of "gaming's hottest babes", calling her "the kinda babe guys dream about!",[49] Manolith listed her as one of the 25 "hottest" video game female protagonists, stating "Loyalists to Jill Valentine may cry foul, but Ada Wong is the true queen of the Resident Evil series",[50] while IGN included her on the list of characters they would like to see returning for Resident Evil 6.[51] In 2010, Complex ranked her as 28th of the "hottest" women in video games,[52] The Times of India listed her among the nine "sexiest babes" of action games,[53] and PopCrunch ranked her as tenth on the list of "hottest video game babes ever".[54] Complex also ranked her as 24th on the 2011 list of "best looking sideline chicks in games", commenting on Ada's resemblance to Nikita from La Femme Nikita,[55] while PSU.com featured her among the sexiest PlayStation characters, summing up: "Super hot Chinese lady killing zombies, what is not to love?"[8] In 2012, Complex ranked her as the eight best Asian character in video games, adding that this "bad girl killed zombies like roaches with the sophistication of a ballet dancing gunslinger."[56]
On the other hand, there was also some criticism of the character. Play editor Gavin Mackenzie criticized her perceived "bitch" personality in Resident Evil 4 in retrospective from the events of Resident Evil 2,[57] while GamesRadar found Ada's outfit from Resident Evil 4 to be unsuitable for the game's theme, ranking her iconic "out-of-our-price-bracket Shanghai hooker" look as the most impractical of all main outfits of the series' stars, and commenting that anyone dressing like she does to fight zombies "would have to be certifiably mental."[58]

It could have been that they needed to do another version in LA, closer to home, with some actors that might not have been as expensive as we were and I understand that, and I wasn't contacted about it. [...] Well, of course I'm thrilled that many people are fans of the Chronicles because of Ada's voice and I understand they have complained that I'm not in The Umbrella Chronicles along with some of my fellow artists and if you feel that way, I think you can always contact Capcom, e-mail them and let them know how you feel. I think that we should always respect the fans and the fact they have followed us through all these years." (June 18, 2008_

May 20, 2012 - StaffLander native Claire (Cameron) Norsworthy, 76, of Walla Walla, Wash., died Thursday, April 19, 2012.
A celebration of life service was Friday, April 27, at Chism Hall, Whitman College, in Walla Walla, Wash.
Florence Claire Cameron was born Feb. 24, 1936, in Lander the daughter of Helen and Clair Cameron.
She spent her childhood in Lander, graduating from Fremont County Vocational High School in Lander in 1954. During high school, she was active in band and became an accomplished flutist, later leading to a year-long stint with the Walla Walla Symphony.
She attended the University of Colorado in Boulder, where she met her future husband, then-First Lt. David Ray Norsworthy of the U.S. Army. They celebrated 50 years of marriage in 2007.
Following Mr. Norsworthy's completion of graduate school, and as their family grew, the couple moved several times, finally to Walla Walla in 1968, when he began his career as professor at Whitman College.
From the early 1970s to 1995, Mr. Norsworthy held a variety of administrative assistant positions at Whitman College, the last of which was in the music department.
Her family said Mrs. Norsworthy enjoyed needlepoint, birdwatching, lunching with friends, and reading.
Mrs. Norsworthy is survived by her husband, Ray, of Walla Walla; children Scott Norsworthy and wife Lauren of Isanti, Minn., Ruth Bass and husband Don of Eugene, Ore., and Vance Norsworthy and wife Shelly of Walla Walla; four grandchildren, Kelli Koch and husband Paul of Davidson, N.C., Kevin Bass and wife Sarah of Eureka, Calif., and Colton and Ella Norsworthy of Walla Walla, Wash.; two great-grandchildren, Claire and Henry Koch of Davidson, N.C.; four step-grandchildren in Minnesota; sister Virginia Marshall of Poolesville, Md.; brother George Cameron of Tucson, Ariz.; nephews Bruce Marshall and Adam of Arlington, Va.; niece Leslie Sealey and Billy of San Marcos, Texas; sister-in-law Neva Guinn of Alexandria, La.; three brothers-in-law, Ralph Norsworthy and Audely of Torrance Calif., Hewyt Norsworthy of Monroe, La., and Hap Wailes of Waco, Texas.
She was preceded in death by an infant daughter, Margaret Ann, in 1962.

In romance, there's an unwritten rule that if the guy busts off the engagement the girl isn't obligated to give back the ring. If she gets mad and fastballs it back at him, he can hustle down to the pawn shop and get a return on his investment, but otherwise he's out of luck.
And I think the same fair-is-fair philosophy ought to apply in divorce court when it comes to any championship ring an athlete of either gender has won on the field.
Tampa Circuit Judge Elizabeth Rice sees it differently. She has ordered Chidi Ahanotu to surrender the NFC championship ring the defensive lineman won with the St. Louis Rams in 2002.
The ring won't be used to pay alimony or child support. Lawyers for Ahanotu's ex-wife want to take the ring to help pay for more than $130,000 he owes in legal fees from divorce proceedings, according to the Tampa Tribune.
Ahanotu, who played for five different NFL teams from 1993-2004, was understandably upset. He told the Tribune: "This court system is a farce . . . This court wants a man to hand over his once-in-a-lifetime accomplishment to pay some damn attorney's fees? I could see if it was going to pay something for my children or my ex-wife."
There are at least two sides to every divorce case, but in the court of public opinion shouldn't an individual's awards be off limits? That should include a man's championship rings, a woman's Olympic medals and anyone's Oscar, Emmy or Pulitzer.
What do you say?
Here's what else is on my lunchtime plate:
. . . I'm kind of stunned at how much reaction was given to yesterday's Game On! item about Ron Franklin suing ESPN for wrongful termination. A lot of people are of the mind that The Worldwide Leader erred on the side of reverse sexism when it dumped Franklin because of his "sweet baby" remark to a colleague. Some network or college broadcast team probably could score some instant popularity by giving Franklin a job.
. . . Along that line, here's a shoutout to reader JboxCSU, for the comment on Franklin's situation: "Dick Vitale calls me 'baby' all the time when he's on the air. I find that offensive, I'm going to sue him."
. . . Fark.com has a biting (and hilarious) point of view on Tom Brady's reported injury issue, writing: "Tom Brady needs foot surgery for stress fracture. Patriots clearly trying to distract Rex Ryan from preparing for Steelers."
. . . A seemingly vengeful Carmelo Anthony threw down 35 points hours after the Nets walked away from trade talks for him. So maybe the Nuggets should try to get rejected by a few more teams between now and the trading deadline.
. . . The growing number of "Liestrong" references on the Internet (including Liestrong bracelets) is a pretty good indicator of the erosion that's eating away at Lance Armstrong's fan base in the wake of the latest PED allegations.
. . . The state of Texas probably leads the nation when it comes to rabid and knowledgeable football fans. Even so, their reputation is on the line as the Super Bowl approaches, and Jerry Jones offers $200 tickets for the right to stand outside during the big game. Anyone who buys in loses their credibility credential.
. . . Then again, that purchase probably makes more sense than the bids that are being made for the Mario Lemieux Suite's toilet from the Penguins' old arena.
. . . Big League Stew has cool photos of the Manhattan penthouse that Derek Jeter has listed for $20 million. Oddly, no photos of A-Rod on the wall.

Any kind of colourful tape (I use masking tape) will work fine. Before students arrive, I put 2 pieces of tape in the top, most accessible corner of their desk. I write a note on the board (along with my greeting) instructing them NOT to touch or ask about the tape, and promising them that I will explain it when everyone is here.

When a student is off task, they lose a piece of tape. When they are on task they can earn tape back (max 2). The second piece is a little harder to earn than the first. I've tried 2 ways that both seem to work: At the end of the day 1) all students that still have any amount of tape get a treat (I only use this strategy when the teacher uses treats regularly in their class), those with 2 pieces write their name on their tape and put it into a jar for a draw to win something from my prize bag; 2) all students put their name on their tape for a draw, regardless of how many they have, and throughout the day I give opportunities to earn extra entries into the draw. Of course I try to ensure every student has at least 1 piece by the end of the day, but it is not always possible.

When I return to a class another time, students always remember me and ask "are we gonna do the tape?!"email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-2271591171187607130.post-13061456298450543242015-07-16T16:41:06.292-07:002015-07-16T16:41:06.292-07:00Thank you!!

I've been subbing ...This struck a cord with me. I've been subbing for the past 7 years, mostly in the school I attended when I was young. And I like teaching. I really do. I wish more teachers would give "real" plans. I am better suited to elementary students, but frequently find myself in the high school end of our small K-12 school. And when I'm in that high school end, plans that include "Students have the assignment and know what to do" just doesn't cut it. You know what happens to a bunch of 12th graders on a Friday afternoon in June when a sub says that to them? They vanish. Poof. Gone. Suddenly I have 2 students that I like and identify with because they are bookworms just like I was in high school. I had one ninth grader react with disbelief that I was "real teacher" he was under the impression that subs were parent volunteers. There are a few things I wish more teachers would include in their sub plans: bell times, identifying students with special needs, photos of students, medical concerns (it's nice to know that one of your students is diabetic... or allergic to the sun), computer log ins and back up plans for when technology fails, and whether or not any of the assignments are homework. I know that for a teacher with the flu, remembering all this is a little much, but I remember when I was in University - we were told to make a substitute teacher binder with information like this in it. And I have only had one teacher leave something like this for me. I have had good experiences in the staff room, but usually feel a little marginalized. My least favourite phrase is "Who are you today?" And I completely agree that every teacher should take a turn at being a substitute for a few years. All in all, I love my job. No planning to take me away from my family, and I'm home at night, no staff meetings or extra-curriculars. On the other hand, no benefits, mediocre respect from staff, and little to no respect from students. I'm still hoping that I'll get to be a full time teacher, but when my own children are so young, it's a good "gig".email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-2271591171187607130.post-24858686703611045762015-05-05T18:08:31.798-07:002015-05-05T18:08:31.798-07:00I really enjoyed reading your article.

As a new sub (with college teaching experience, but that's a whole other ballgame), I've been wondering how in the world to better manage the wide variety of classrooms I walk into every week. We studied Love and Logic in a class I had last fall, and as a parent I've been familiar with the basic ideas for quite awhile, but since it is about building relationships, I was really curious today (as I get ready to sub in a new middle school tomorrow) about how it might work for subs. You've answered my questions!
