Nevada led 35-22 at halftime behind Story's 11 points. The junior guard's three-point play gave Nevada a 35-20 lead with 37 seconds to go in the half.
Nevada improved to 5-1 at home. The Highlanders dropped to 2-5 away from Riverside.
PACK WINNERS OF FIVE IN A RWO AND EIGHT-OF-NINE - Nevada has won a season-high five in a row and eight-of-nine after starting the season 0-2. The only loss in the stretch was 76-55 to BYU in Chicago.
The last time the Wolf Pack won five in a row was during the 2008-09 season when the team put together two five game win streaks. The last team to win six in a row was the 2006-07 squad that started the season 7-0 and also had win streaks of nine and 10 games.

Nevada was 0-10 away from Reno until a 69-67 victory at Boise State on Jan 15, 2011.

The Pack has attempted more free throws than its opponents in 10-of-11 games this season. Montana became the first team to attempt more free throws than Nevada in a game this season, 29 for the Grizzlies and 19 for the Wolf Pack. The Montana game also marked the only time an opponent has made more free throws than the Pack, 21 for UM and 13 for Nevada. In the Washington game both teams made 15 free throws. The Pack shot a season-high 25 more free throws than Prairie View A&M.
Despite the numerous opportunities at the charity strip, Nevada is shooting just 63.2 percent at the free throw line and opponents 67.3 percent. Nevada shot a season-high 75.8 percent from the line at Arizona State making 25-of-33 free throws. Point guard Deonte Burton made 13-of-15 free throws versus ASU including making his first 11 and 15 in a row going back to the end of the Washington game.

Story made a career-high seven, three-pointers in Nevada's 80-78 victory over Longwood. Story was good on 7-of-10, three-point attempts versus the Lancers and finished with 28 points on the night. The 28 points is tied with Deonte Burton for the second highest scoring game for the Pack this season. His previous high for three-pointers was six that he accomplished twice last season, with the last being against Fresno State in the WAC Tournament.
Story is eighth in the WAC in scoring at 14.1 points per game. The 6-5 guard, is shooting 85.7 percent from the free throw line to rank third in the conference and his 2.1 assists per game is 15th.

REMEMBERING MILTON - In remembrance of University of Nevada president Milton D. Glick who passed away of a stroke on April 16, 2011, the Wolf Pack men's basketball team will wear an MG patch on their shorts. Glick, 73, was the 15th president of the University of Nevada.
BURTON FIFTH PACK PLAYER TO EARN PRESEASON WAC POY NOD - Point guard Deonte Burton became the fifth Nevada player and sixth overall to be selected as the WAC Coaches' Preseason Player of the Year. Kirk Snyder (2003-04), Nick Fazekas (2005-06 & 2006-07), Armon Johnson (2008-09) and Luke Babbitt (2009-10) were all preseason players of the year with Fazekas earning the honor twice. Snyder, Fazekas (twice) and Babbitt all earned the honor at the end of the season when chosen as the preseason player of the year. Like Burton, Babbitt and Johnson were both sophomores when they earned the preseason honor.
A Nevada player has been named the season ending WAC Player of the Year in five of the last eight seasons with Fazekas grabbing the honor three consecutive seasons from 2003-2007.
Johnson and Babbitt are currently on the roster of the NBA's Portland Trail Blazers. Snyder was first round pick of the Utah Jazz and Fazekas was chosen in the second round by the Dallas Mavericks. Both played for several teams in the NBA.
Burton was the fourth Pack player to earn WAC Freshman of the Year honors last year when he averaged 13.7 points and 3.5 assists per game. Ramon Sessions (2005), Johnson (2008) and Babbitt (2009) were the previous Nevada players named WAC Freshman of the Year. Sessions, a second round pick of the Milwaukee Bucks, is currently on the roster of the Cleveland Cavaliers.
YOUNG GUNS NO MORE - Nevada was dominated by first-year players last season with nine new faces on the 14-man roster. This season there are two new faces on the 13 player roster. The Wolf Pack returns 93 percent of its offense from last season. All five starters are back in Deonte Burton, Malik Story, Jerry Evans Jr., Dario Hunt and Olek Czyz. Burton, Story and Hunt started all 32 games while Czyz made 21 starts and Evans 20. Four other players who made starts last season are back in Kevin Panzer (10), Jordan Burris (6), Jordan Finn (3) and Devonte Elliott (3). Patrick Nyeko appeared in 26 games last year and earned the team's Sixth Man Award. Junior guard Keith Fuetsch is back for his third season in the program giving the Pack 11 letterwinners on the 2011-12 roster. The two newcomers are freshmen Richard Bell and sophomore Brice Crook.
HUNT RECORDS 200TH CAREER BLOCK, NEARS 800 REBOUNDS - Senior forward Dario Hunt broke the Nevada career blocks record in the season-opener versus Missouri State with the 193rd block his career. In the Longwood game Hunt recorded his 200th career block and now has 214 in 111 games. He came into the season tied with Nick Fazekas (2004-07) with 192.
Hunt had six blocks in the Pack's 66-60 loss to New Mexico State in the WAC Tournament last year to move into a tie with Fazekas. Hunt's 214 blocks have come in 111 games while Fazekas' 192 came in 131 games. Hunt has three of the top five seasons in school history with his best year of 67 during the 2008-09 season ranking third and is the freshman record. In 2009-10 he had 66 which are fourth on the list and his 59 last year ranks fifth.
Hunt made his 100th career start versus Washington (12/2) and now has 103 in the Silver & Blue. The 6-8 forward, has started 103-of-111 games played in his career. He has started the last 47 games and 80 of the last 81 games.
Hunt is also climbing the Nevada rebounds career chart with his 790 ranking seventh. His nine in the MSU game moved him over 700 for his career and the five against Bradley pushed his total to 750. With 10 more rebounds he will become the sixth Nevada player to grab 800 in the Silver & Blue. Ric Herrin (1989-93) is sixth with 815 rebounds.

Today's guest author, Jodi Ellen Malpas, knows all about how compelling a playboy can be—the hero of her This Man trilogy, which finished with This Man Confessed, is a very sexy playboy who knows exactly what he wants. She's here to talk about playboys in general and one very dashing one in specific. Thanks for being here, Jodi Ellen!
I'll take that martini shaken, and you can definitely stir me up, too. Then you can carry me to the shower and take your slow, sweet time washing me down while I skate my palms over every hard inch of you.
Playboys; the ultimate dangerous men. Often stunning, almost certainly filthy rich, and without doubt unforgettable under the sheets. There is little point in asking why we would be attracted to them because I've just answered it. Should it matter that you're potentially the notch on his bedpost that will sever it, making it give and send his bedframe crashing to his bedroom floor? Probably, but a playboy will ooze confidence and determination, and most certainly immobilise you with lust. When that's all targeted at you and you alone, it would be near on impossible to let sensibility filter through to your desire-drenched mind.

Best of 2007 (so far)
June 25, 2007
This was both one of the funnest and hardest music lists I've made for this site. Fun because I got to relisten to all my favorite albums of 2007 and remember why I liked them so much in the first place. Hard because I only am choosing 12 (and a half) for this list and I'm cutting out some big favorites. When it came down to it though, I chose the albums that are both hitting me the hardest right now and that I think I'll remember most down the road. Without further adieu, here they are.
These 12 and a half albums (picked because it's half of 25) are listed in chronological order and only include albums released in the first half of this year.
Of Montreal – Hissing Fauna, Are You The Destroyer?
Of Montreal have made some wonderful records in their career but this one tops them all. Kevin Barnes takes the glam and elctrodance tendencies of the band to their extreme and comes up with twelve of the most memorable tracks of the year.
MP3 Heimdalsgate Like a Promethean Curse
Bloc Party – A Weekend in the City
I really didn't expect much out of this album. Bloc Party seemed like a surefire entry in the "sophomore slump" category. Boy, was I wrong. The album is just as ambitious and grandiose as their debut, and proves how incredibly talented this band is.
Dear and the Headlights – Small Steps, Heavy Hooves
I knew the moment I heard the opening piano to "It's Gettin' Easy" that Dear and the Headlights were something special, but it wasn't till I got their whole debut did I realize how seriously awesome this band is. Takes the best of the parts of indie folk and late-90's emo scene and creates an album where each track is as stunningly fresh as the one before it.
Arcade Fire – Neon Bible
It's not as incredibly powerful and consistent of an album as Funeral, but Neon Bible is still far from being a disappointment. Songs like "Keep The Car Running", "Antichrist Television Blues" and the updated "No Cars Go" prove that Arcade Fire are still completely in a league of their own.
Andrew Bird – Armchair Acrophya
Andrew Bird is ridiculously talented, I don't think it's possible for him to make a bad album. In Armchair Acrophya, Andrew Bird really embraces guitar rock while still incorporating his trademark violin and whistle on some of the best songs of his career.
MP3 Heretics
LCD Soundsystem – Sound of Silver
What an incredible step-up from LCD Soundsystem's first album this is. Going from an album with a couple great singles and a bunch of filler to one that has one great song after the other, filled with musical variety and lyrical sincerity. If I had to choose a favorite song of the year right now I think it would be "All My Friends".
MP3 All My Friends
Klaxons – Myths of the Near Future
I know these songs have been floating around for a while, but this has been my go-to album ever since I first heard it early this year. The album is hyped as a nu-rave dance record but what's really amazing how hard Myths of the Near Future rocks. This is a party album if there was one.
Cloud Cult – The Meaning of 8
I've never heard an album that is so enjoyable to listen to and at the same time is so emotionally draining. The lament for the singer's lost son is really heartbreaking, but it's done in a way that is so musically and lyrically beautiful that you can't help but listen to it again and again. I can't imagine this not being a top 5 album when the end of the year comes.
Windmill – Puddle City Racing Lights
Windmill is probably the most exciting new band I've heard this year, and it would seem that I can't stop talking about how great this album is. Puddle City Racing Lights impresses me even more on a daily basis. Unbelieveably epic stuff.
Patrick Wolf – The Magic Position
This album was my first experience with the sheer brilliance that is Patrick Wolf, and the mixture between dark and enchanting and uplifting and triumphant is completely captivating. The songs creep into your ears and don't escape.
Wilco – Sky Blue Sky
I've only been a full-fledged Wilco fan for a couple of years, and I'm really glad that I jumped on board because this to me is up there with the band's best. Nel Cline's guitar freak-outs alone would be enough to secure a place on this list, but Tweedy's songwriting and vocal delivery are also in top form on tracks like "On and On and On" and "Impossible Germany".
The National – Boxer
This one was a blog favorite from the get-go, and it shows that 2005's Alligator was no fluke. The musical atmosphere that The National portrays is what separates them from the pack, the album is overflowing with the fantastic drumming and dark and meaningful vocals that create a dense musical landscape.
MP3 Fake Empire
Favorite EP of the 2007 (so far):
Beirut – Lon Gisland
These five songs represent the half in my 12 and a half number, and the main reason I think it should be recognized is it proves that Beirut weren't a one-album wonder. The new version of Scenic World is a huge improvement, and Elephant Gun is easily one of the best singles of the year. This band is going to be around for a long time and I couldn't be more excited about it.
MP3 Elephant Gun
Just Missed:
The Rosebuds – Night of the Furies
Page France – And The Family Telephone

That he belongs.
"I think I played really well the whole week," Maye said on Tuesday evening. "I played to my strengths, worked hard and did well against some of the better players. I knew that I was one of the best players. I played like that, wanted to show my skills and keep improving."
Maye was the camp's leading rebounder and put up solid numbers against players ranked near the top of the 2015 and 2016 classes.
He said playing against Ben Simmons, a top five player in the 2015 class, was one of the highlights of the camp.
"He's a pretty versatile player," said Maye. "He's pretty good, but I thought I did well against him. He scored some on me, and me against him. It was back and forth a little bit."
On the Nike EYBL circuit, Maye plays with Team United and is often among his squad's leaders in points and rebounds. That production, however, hasn't led to a prominent national ranking.
"I try to not really look too much into those," Maye said of national rankings. "My job is to just go out there and produce. That's all I can do. If I keep playing well, everything else will work itself out."
Prior to the start of his senior season, Maye has collected offers from UNC-Charlotte, Davidson, Clemson, St. Joseph's, Notre Dame, Charleston, Iowa State and Tennessee. He's also receiving interest from UVa., N.C. State, UNC, Xavier and Butler.
"Coaches just tell me they love how I'm so versatile and how I rebound the ball," explained Maye. "They like how I can shoot and how I'm a true basketball player and I do a lot of things really well."
A day after coming home from the NBPA Camp, Maye and his mother took an unofficial visit to UNC on Sunday. Following pickup with current and former Tar Heel players, Maye met with assistant coach C.B. McGrath and head coach Roy Williams for about 30 minutes.
"They just talked about how they love my game," Maye said. "They think I can definitely play in the ACC and want to watch me more in July."
Tyler Zeller, Kendall Marshall, Maye and the current UNC team were the participants in pickup on Sunday. Maye matched up several times with sophomore Kennedy Meeks, a friend and former rival from the Charlotte area.
"It was a great experience and I felt like I held my own," said Maye. "Kennedy is a good player and has gotten a lot better. We want back and forth and I thought played well. I feel like I made an impression."

Decision makers
- US Congress
Reduce Harsh Consequences of False Claims to U.S. Citizenship
In 1996, INA § 212(a)(6)(C)(ii) was added to the immigration laws which expanded the scope of provisions which made an intending immigrant inadmissible and barred adjustment of status if the individual made false claims to U.S. citizenship. The bar to admissibility and adjustment applies to anyone who falsely claims U.S. citizenship for any purpose or benefit under the INA made to a government official or even a private employer. Such individuals who are found inadmissible under § 212(a)(6)(C)(ii) are permanently inadmissible and are removable. No waivers are authorized for false claims to citizenship even for the spouse or children of U.S. citizens or lawful permanent residents. While waivers are available for fraud or material misrepresentation in other contexts, no waivers are authorized for false claims to citizenship even for the spouse or children of U.S. citizens or lawful permanent residents. Countless US citizens and lawful residents are suffering from the application of this clause. US citizen families are separated for life. Even the case of an immigrant with a history of violent crime presents far fewer bars to immigration and family unification than this "false claim to US citizenship" clause, which allows for exactly no chance of immigration. It prescribes automatic, permanent inadmissibility with no recourse for an immigration waiver. This clause is part of the "Comprehensive Immigration Reform" bill S.744 passed by the Senate on June 27, 2013. Help ask Congress to do their part by making a change and bring this clause into line with the rest of the immigration code, with a reasonable time limit on inadmissibility and the creation of a discretionary waiver of inadmissibility in the case of an immigrant who is the spouse, parent, child, son or daughter of a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident.

By: Michael Weisdorf
It disappoints me that 149 years after slavery in the United States was abolished, 69 years after the holocaust ended, 67 years after Jackie Robinson first took the field and 59 years after Rosa Parks took that seat, that there is still racism and hatred toward minorities – visible or not. Maybe "disgust" is a better word.
The recordings that were made public this week of Donald Sterling – owner of the NBA Los Angeles Clippers – allegedly spewing hatred about African-Americans is a stark reminder that there are still some people that are in the dark ages when it comes to hating entire groups who are not similar to themselves.
Although this type of Ignorance is not isolated (see the Dani Alves story the following day), it is much easier for communities (cultural, religious and business) to take collective and punitive action when the ignorance comes from someone in the public eye… especially when that someone is the owner of one of North America's professional sports franchises.
The challenge however, is who can quickly take action that has a profound, immediate, long-term and negative influence on Mr. Sterling?
Based on the very quick and definitive actions taken by NBA commissioner Adam Silver on Tuesday, it appears that they have learned from the errors of Major League Baseball in the 1990s by letting Marge Schott run amok with her First Amendment rights. For anyone not familiar, Ms. Schott insulted various groups including African Americans and Jews for the better part of a decade before she was suspended indefinitely from team management by MLB, eventually deciding to sell the team and get out of baseball altogether. Mr. Silver suspended Mr. Sterling from all NBA and LA Clippers basketball related duties for life, fined him the maximum under the current NBA legislation, and vowed to gain the support of 75% of the owners to force Mr. Sterling to sell the team.
Mr. Silver should be applauded for these actions. But one may wonder whether these actions would have been as strong or as quick if it wasn't for the collective powers of both team and league sponsors? Within 48 hours, no less than a dozen current LA Clippers sponsors either terminated or suspended their current sponsorship with the club. I can assume that these same sponsors, along with other team and league sponsors, may have also called upon Mr. Silver to fulfill what many prognosticators in the sports world were calling for.
Sponsors, especially in today's era of huge television and sponsorship deals, hold enormous power in influencing actions of sports teams and leagues. Gone are the days where teams heavily depended on ticket sales to keep the teams afloat; for many teams in North America's big 4 sports (specifically football), teams could get by even if they didn't sell a single ticket throughout the season.
Fans, who could boycott the games, cannot do this en masse. Even if every single fan disagrees with what the owner did, the tickets are already sold (for this game beyond), and by the time anything impactful could be done, the issue will no longer be fresh in people's mind to have the relevance it would have if 18,000+ just did not show up for game 6 of the Clippers first-round playoff series.
The players could also boycott. Although this would be unprecedented for North American sports, it would surely speak volumes. The challenge with this form of protest is that it punishes the wrong people: it punishes the fans by pulling entertainment and it punishes the players who have worked all their lives for the opportunity to play on basketball's biggest stage with the hopes of winning a championship. If it were the regular season, this may be an easier pill to swallow. However, the organized protest by the players by coming out to practice with their jerseys on inside out should be commended.
The goodwill that teams/properties develop over years within communities is one of many things that sponsors look to leverage when seeking out partners. Although strong on-field performance is helpful, the equity that teams build with their fan base over time is why a sponsor will look to leverage the property to gain brand awareness, consumer loyalty and ultimately a return-on-investment.
The few sentences spoken by Mr. Sterling eradicated any goodwill the Clippers organization had built up since moving to the Los Angeles area 30 years ago. The sponsors recognized this and many immediately distanced themselves from the team and the owner. It will be interesting to see how many, over time, return to sponsor the club and whether this occurs during or after the process of revoking Mr. Sterling's ownership. Unfortunately, the comments by one insensitive and ignorant individual may forever tarnish this team and make it quite difficult for any new management group to re-establish itself in the market (as the Clippers) and rebuild the trust within the community, the league, and with its sponsors.

I read Tony Holland's article "The Law Society must face its responsibilities" (Viewpoint, The Lawyer, 19 November) with great interest.
While I was relieved to find that there was someone in the higher echelons of the legal profession who expressed concern about the plight of the many hundreds of unsuccessful candidates, I found that his suggestions fell rather short of a solution to the problem.
At the very least, I share his view that the Law Society ought to do something about the problem instead of washing its hands of it.
At least five of my acquaintances from the 1994/95 LPC course at The College of Law in Guildford have not secured training contracts and have somewhat fallen by the wayside. In fact, you only needed to look at the back pages of The Lawyer to find photographs of desperate students.
Most galling of all is to read about promising schemes, such as that outlined in The Gazette (13 November) for "judicial assistants" to provide help for the High Court and The Court of Appeal to clear a backlog of cases, only to find that candidates will be chosen from trainees or recently-qualified solicitors and barristers in the last stage of pupillage. How disgraceful it is to have a bottleneck of people on the lower rungs (Holland's so-called "bulge") and delays in access to justice at the other end.
Ideas such as this should be implemented faster than it takes a Law Society working party to deliberate and come forward with proposals. I hope that you will agree with me and look forward to your views on this matter.

German Mathematical Society
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Jahresbericht der Deutschen Mathematiker-Vereinigung)
The German Mathematical Society (German: Deutsche Mathematiker-Vereinigung – DMV) is the main professional society of German mathematicians. It publishes an annual report called the Jahresbericht der DMV.
The society was founded on 18 September 1890.
Georg Cantor was one of the founders and in his honor the society awards the Cantor medal.

Depth of talent has been touted as one of the best attributes of this year's LSU football team.
Saturday afternoon against Auburn in Tiger Stadium, that depth will be put to perhaps its greatest test after the suspensions of starting tailback Spencer Ware, starting cornerback Tyrann Mathieu and top reserve cornerback Tharold Simon.
A source familiar with the situation said the three sophomores have been suspended for the Auburn game (2:30 p.m., CBS) for violating team rules. There is no official word on the suspensions, including whether they will extend past the Auburn game.
LSU coach Les Miles refused to confirm the player discipline when he met with a bumper crop of reporters after Wednesday's practice. When asked the obviously leading question of whether he expected all of his players to be available this weekend, Miles refused to take the bait.
"I expect that my team will take the field ably manned and ready to play at all positions," Miles replied.
"If we miss guys we'll promote from behind. I don't think speculation serves our team at this point."
That said, the players LSU will be missing Saturday possess singular talents that will be hard to simply replace with the next man in line.
This LSU team faced a similar situation to start the season. The Tigers opened against Oregon — ranked No. 3 in the preseason — missing three offensive starters: quarterback Jordan Jefferson and wide receiver Russell Shepard because of suspensions and starting left guard Josh Dworaczyk after a season-ending knee injury.
Despite being without those players, the Tigers posted an impressive 40-27 victory over the Ducks in Arlington, Texas, a victory punctuated by a forced-fumble-turned-touchdown-recovery by the highly opportunistic Mathieu on a punt return by Oregon's Kenyon Barner.
While LSU has other quality players which it can turn to in the secondary, the Tigers have no one who can match Mathieu's disruptive intensity.
He's forced or recovered seven fumbles this season — returning two of them for touchdowns — grabbed a pair of interceptions and ranks second on the team with 42 tackles. Simon, Mathieu's usual backup, is fourth on the team with 29 tackles and first with eight pass deflections.
Senior Ron Brooks, typically the backup to Morris Claiborne at left corner, is the obvious choice to replace Mathieu as the starter at right. Brooks has only had 10 tackles in seven games, but has the experience to calm a suddenly lonely position.
Redshirt freshman Ronnie Vinson could play a backup role at corner (he has no tackles this season) while safeties Craig Loston or Sam Gibson could be called upon to fill in Mathieu's role when LSU goes to a nickel back formation.
Similar to Mathieu, no other LSU tailback can match Ware's bruising between-the-tackles style pound for punishing pound.
Sophomores Michael Ford (67 carries, 359 yards, six touchdowns) and Alfred Blue (52 carries, 238 yards, four TDs) will likely lead a running back by committee that will also include true freshman Terrence Magee (15 carries, 47 yards, TD).
Ford and Blue are generally smoother, more gliding runners than Ware, and as such more likely to bounce a run to the outside than grind out yards straight up the middle.
For those tough yards, LSU could well resort to true freshman Kenny Hilliard (5-foot-11, 240 pounds). Hilliard, who has five carries for 20 yards, showed what a load he can be to bring down when he dragged tacklers along with him for 13 yards on his only carry against Tennessee.
While not a running back, Ware's absence could definitely open up more running and passing opportunities for senior quarterback Jordan Jefferson coming off the bench.
Jefferson has been back just three games after serving a four-game suspension to start the season, but he is already LSU's fourth-leading rusher with 22 carries for 109 yards and two touchdowns. He had 14 carries for 73 yards and a score against Tennessee.
Jefferson's straight ahead keepers out of the shotgun formation could be a more than decent option for LSU's running attack sans Ware. At 6-5, 223 pounds, Jefferson is no easy load to stop either once he gets moving forward, and certainly he seems an even more likely choice for the Tigers when they need to gain that one yard to keep the chains moving or get into the end zone.

Alfonso Soriano went from being a jolt of much-needed energy to the New York Yankees team in 2013 to platoon duty in 2014 and essentially, a roster burden.
Back in early June, Soriano was hitting .220 and just .195 against right-handed pitching, the last of which was against the Seattle Mariners and Felix Hernandez; which prompted Joe Girardi to change Soriano's role from being an everyday player to a platoon role and starting against just left-handers.
The 38-year-old veteran, who is currently hitting .231 with six home runs and 23 RBI in 63 games, is now hitting .208 against right-handers; the average went up after getting a single against Blue Jays reliever Dustin McGowan on Tuesday night. He is however, hitting .379 against left-handers, which is why he starts against them while Ichiro Suzuki plays against right-handers.
However, despite the struggles against right-handed pitching, Soriano still feels that he's an everyday player that can still contribute to the team, as per Jorge Castillo of the Newark-Star Ledger:
"Yes, of course I feel like I can play everyday," Soriano said, speaking in Spanish. "The most important thing is the ability with my hands is there. The most important things are health and the hands. I feel like my bat is there, too. That's the most important thing for a player to play everyday. So I'm just trying to take it day-by-day and when my opportunity to play everyday comes, if it comes, I'll be ready."
Soriano, even though he has accepted his role on the Yankees, still works very hard every day to improve himself with hopes of getting more playing time in the future.
"I try to watch video and watch the game," Soriano said. "I go to the cage when we're home. And I always try to keep my mind in the game as if I were playing so when I get the opportunity — if I'm playing or if they give me an at-bat in the game — I'll be ready. Now that I don't play everyday, it's a little more difficult because since I don't have the same timing I would have playing everyday," Soriano admitted. "And there's a little more pressure because sometimes I go two, three, four games without playing. It's not the same as playing four games in a row and not playing one day. It's a little more difficult, but I'm trying to make the adjustments to get the job done when I get the opportunity."
Both Soriano and Ichiro are platooned in right field because of Carlos Beltran's inability to play the field due to his elbow still feeling pain and relegating him to designated hitter duties.

Pistachio Cake Pops
Pistachio cake is an unexpected dessert that will surely make your taste buds tingle! The only way to make this sweet treat better is by serving it on a stick.
Pistachio cake is an unexpected dessert that will surely make your taste buds tingle! The only way to make this sweet treat better is by serving it on a stick.
When I got married, I asked my husband's Aunt Mae for her Pistachio cake recipe, and let me tell you, it's been the gift that keeps on giving. It's absolutely scrumptious!
For this Family Reunion, I decided to alter it slightly into a cake pop recipe and these are sure to please your family, too.
I always love to say that everything tastes better on a stick, but just when I think this recipe couldn't get better, it did. Next time you're looking for a new cake recipe, try this. Your guests will love it!
- 1 box white cake mix
- 5 eggs
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 3 boxes Instant Pistachio Pudding Mix
- 1 pint heavy whipping cream
- 2 packages Wilton's candy melts (color of your choice)
- Lollipop Sticks
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
For the cake, mix cake mix, eggs, water, milk, and oil on medium speed until smooth. Slowly add 2 boxes of pudding mix until smooth. Pour into 2 9-in round cake pans and bake for approximately 25-30 minutes until toothpick comes clean from the center. Set aside and cool completely.
While cake is cooling, combine whipping cream and 1 box of pudding mix and mix until it reaches a light, cool-whip-like consistency (1-2 minutes.) This will be the frosting you'll mix with the cake.
Once cake has completely cooled, tear it up into small pieces and put into a large bowl. Slowly add your frosting and mix with a spoon (might need to mix with your hands to mix well) until it reaches a moist consistency.
Roll into balls and set aside on a foil-lined cookie sheet or pan. Refrigerate covered until set (about 20 minutes.)
Next, melt about 4-5 candy melt rounds in the microwave on 50% power. Coat the end of a lollipop stick with the chocolate and stick down into each cake ball to insure that your ball does not fall off of the stick later. Repeat until all cake balls are on a stick. Refrigerate again to set (another 20 minutes.)
Melt remainder of the candy melts packages (1 at a time) according to package directions. Coat each cake pop with chocolate and set back onto lined cookie sheet to dry. When all are complete, cover and set aside (in a cool place, or refrigerate) to dry.
Add ribbon, flags or fabric strips dress them up to coordinate with your color scheme.

I can confirm that. After installing the final relese and nuking the beta1 version, I had to select the layout again. Since I was kinda sick of partitioning I selected `use the whole device` and actually happy with it now. No pain no gain - I know but it works fine. Anyway, is it a missing feature or just unneeded one?

Deadlines Related with SAT
Deadlines That You Must Remember
Most candidates begin preparing for the SAT from the junior year of high school. However, when asked, they may not be able to give a clear answer as to when they think they should take the test. The SAT test is conducted only on specific months during the year. Therefore, you must plan when to take the test much in advance.
At first, it may seem as though you have a lot of time to decide as the test is conducted many times in a year. It is only when you understand the deadlines of SAT then you will know the importance of planning for the test date.
- The First Deadline
The first deadline is the easiest to remember. It is the deadline for test registrations. Before you can take the SAT, you are required to register for it. The process of registration enables you to select a date, a test center and pay the fees for the test. However, keep in mind that:
- You have to register for the test one month in advance whether you register online or through mail.
- It is sometimes possible to register later than that but you would be charged extra towards late registration and you may not get the center of your choice.
- In case you are unable to register on time and need to or want to take the test on an urgent basis, you may do so by reporting to a test center early for a standby registration. This however does not guarantee that you will be able to take the test as it depends on the capacity of the test center. If there is a spare seat, you may be accommodated.
- The Second Deadline
Apart from the registration related deadline of SAT there is another important deadline that you must absolutely remember. It is the application deadline for the colleges that you intend to apply to. Every college will have its own specific date for closing applications. Any application received after this deadline will not be considered by the college. Thus, your complete application together with the SAT scores must reach the college before their application deadline. Remember, it takes time for your scores to reach you and the colleges.
- How Are the Two Deadlines Related?
Deadlines of SAT are linked to the test and application deadlines are linked to the colleges. How can they be related to each other? Though it may seem that they are not related at all, your test scores provide the vital link between the two. As you may be aware, to maximize your chances of admission in a college, you need to achieve a high test score. Some colleges do not consider applications with SAT scores below the average. Yet again, some colleges require you to provide scores for one or two subject tests as well. It may so happen that your score may not meet the requirements of the college you wish to apply to or you may simply be dissatisfied with them. In either case, you may want to take the test again. To retake the test, you would have to register for the test once again. It may not be as easy, since you may be well past the test deadlines. Therefore, it is important that you plan not just one SAT attempt but two, at the least, such that you do not miss the college application deadline.
For these reasons, it is recommended that you register early. This holds true especially for international candidates as there are fewer test centers compared to the large number of applicants in countries outside the US territory. Standby registration is not available for test centers outside the US. Therefore, missing any of the deadlines might cost you dearly if you are planning to take the SAT from outside the US.
Thus, you need to keep in mind both the test and the application
deadlines before planning to take the SAT test.
Mark the dates in your calendar or enter them in your mobile phones or
electronic diaries so that you can refer to them quickly and not
schedule other events close to the test or college application closing

Musix GNU+Linux is one of the few Linux distributions recognized by the Free Software Foundation as not being primarily distributed on distribution sites distributing non-free software and not including any non-free information for practical use.
Musix is developed by a team from Argentina, Spain, Mexico and Brazil. The main language used in development discussion and documentation is Spanish; however, Musix has a community of users in Spanish, Portuguese, and English.
Musix 1.0
The Musix 0.x and 1.0 Rx versions were released from 2005 to 2008, with Musix 1.0 R6 being the last stable Release on DVD and Musix 1.0 R2R5 the last stable release on CD.
The Live-CD system has more than 1350 software packages and runs directly from the CD/DVD without the need to install anything on the PC. It can be installed on the PC relatively easily if desired in a few minutes, just like Knoppix or Kanotix. The Live-DVD 1.0 R3 test5 has 2279 software packages.
Some of the programs include: Rosegarden and Ardour, both for musicians; Inkscape for vectorial design; GIMP for manipulation of images; Cinelerra for video editing and Blender for 3D animation.
Its desktop is very light (only 18 MB of RAM with X.org), based on IceWM+ROX-Filer and it has a unique feature: multiple "pinboards" ordered by General Purpose apps, Help, Office, Root/Admin, MIDI, Internet, Graphics, and Audio. The pinboards are arrays of desktop backgrounds and icons.
A small version of the KDE desktop is installed by default too on the Live-CD version. The Live-DVD has a full KDE version, supporting several languages.
Musix 2.0
Musix 2.0 is being developed using the live-helper scripts from the Debian-Live project. The first Alpha version of Musix 2.0 was released on 2009-03-25 including two realtime patched Linux-Libre kernels.
On 2009-05-17 the first Beta version of Musix 2.0 was released.
The final Musix GNU/Linux 2.0 version on CD, DVD and USB will be launched before november 20th 2009 by Daniel Vidal, Suso Comesaña, Carlos Sanchiavedraz, Joseangon and other Musix developers. This version will be presented at the "Palau Firal de Congressos de Tarragona, España" by Suso Comesaña.
Still have one other version knoppix-based developed by a brazilian music teacher called Gilberto Borges. This version is not a fork and it's named "Adriane" or "Musix Brazil", derivated from Knoppix 6.1 Adriane. This version is in RC1 stage.
Marcos Guglielmetti has announced the release of Musix GNU/Linux 2.0, a 100% libre, Debian-based distribution with a collection of software for audio production, graphics design and video editing: "It is a great pleasure for us to announce the availability of version 2.0 of the MUSIX GNU/Linux free operating system, after a year of hard community work.

Staff were mostly friendly and helpful, the premises were generally well-kept. The cleanliness and facilities were adequate, but not outstanding and they were no justification for the hotel's high rates.
Very modern facility. Great decor. They were almost closed for the season
Proximity to town and airport Smoking by guests in rooms even though hotel had a non smoking policy
Warm welcome at 10 pm after long flights-harbour view as requested. Excellent breakfast from wide selection in airy breakfast room overlooking harbour. Soundproof rooms although next to road.
The Staff were fantastic, and the location is ideal. Free Wi-fi that actually works and a great cafe on the first floor with balcony that was so relaxing. I can't wait to go back.
This is a high quality hotel with plenty of marble staircases. -
The position of the hotel was extremely convenient and the rooms were well insulated against noise. Our room had a lovely sea view and a balcony. The staff were pleasant and helpful. It is excellent value for money.
Location was excellent very central and outstanding views from the balcony. Breakfast was average.there was no fresh milk and attendance was poor.
The location is exellent. Room is very clean and comfortable. Staff, specially at the reception was very kind and helpfull.
Helpfulness of staff
High ceilings.
Comfortable bed, clean bathroom For Greek standards, outrageously expensive considering facilities
Beautiful place with very friendly and helpful staff, they also spoke very good English.
Hotel Sappho is a comfortable place to stay. The rooms are basic, but clean and I had a lovely city view. For a little more, you can have a room with a harbor view. There is a great breakfast room with ample and comfortable seating and a view of the harbor. I loved the decor and views in this room. The breakfast was fine and the coffee was good. The location is excellent, close to many restaurants, clubs, the beach and the port. I recommend this hotel.
Spacious, clean room, modern structure, view to the sea, a short drive from a numerous interesting sights and places to visit. Car noise from the road in front of the hotel at night can be a little annoying if you're looking for a completely quiet and undisturbed sleep.
I was not at all satiafied by the ratio price/luxury.Far far away from every intresting place.I will not go there again.

Re "Obama's 18.4 percent effective tax rate too low" (Letters, April 17):
While letter writer George Halversen shows rightful concern, he makes a few common errors regarding the alternative minimum tax.
Charitable contributions are not part of the AMT calculation, and neither are most mortgage deductions.
He is correct that property taxes (as well as income and personal property taxes) are added back in calculating the "bad tax." As a result, the AMT affects Californians more than residents of other states.
Further, he confuses the "effective tax rate" (the average tax applied across the entire tax return) with the "marginal tax rate" (the tax imposed on the last dollar of taxable income). He would need to carefully examine both his AMT schedule and President Obama's calculated AMT schedule to determine the specific differences that caused him to be in AMT and the president not.
Halversen's implied notion that numbers are deceptive is quite accurate, especially through the lens of arbitrary, confusing and mysterious tax laws.
-- Bob Levine, Tarzana

Global warming must be addressed in water policy
Re "Drying times demand water wisdom" (Editorial, April 17):
Following the water-scarcity problem upstream, so to speak, takes us to the real source: global warming caused by excess carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.
If we want to continue living in California, we need to do more than catch rainwater and practice xeriscaping. National and international policy change is necessary to stop global warming.
Sens. Barbara Boxer and Bernie Sanders have the right approach in their Climate Protection Act: tax carbon to gradually make fossil fuels more expensive than clean energy, and let the market stimulate innovation in renewables.
This would boost the economy by generating green jobs and keep Southern California and the world livable.
-- Cher Gilmore, Santa Clarita
Senators miss message from 90% of Americans
Re "Senate blocks expanded background checks" (April 18):
It's sad that our elected senators refuse to do what 90 percent of Americans want. These legislators are not the people we want or need to represent us. We need men who understand that they have a chance to protect our children and other citizens without worrying about the gun lobby.
President Obama is trying to do the right thing and, once again, the National Rifle Association is behind a campaign to keep guns in the hands of criminals.
What happened to the days when our elected officials went to work and performed their jobs by doing what the people who put them in office expected them to do? By ignoring their constituents, they are leading the way for more tragedies to take place.
These so-called representatives are only do the bidding of the lobbyists who line their pockets. We need to get rid of them.
-- Ron Sellz, Chatsworth
With de-stressing plan, officials bark up wrong tree
Re "Canine Comfort: Volunteers with therapy dogs will visit terminals to calm passengers" (April 15):
It's wonderful to know our government cares so much about us that they want to calm our nerves with a destressing program. The fact that they have caused the problem doesn't seem to be of any concern. After all, why correct the problem when you can bring dogs in with handlers?
The solution is not to remedy the problem, but to do damage control.

The hotel is perfect - staff,food, location, rooms are exellent
I appreciate wireless internet access in rooms free of charge. Room odour was bad.
facilities, staff, breakfast, internet access renovation is going on
Friendly staff Garden with pool Breakfast Rebuilding
Nice breakfast. Clean room. LCD TV with English channels. Very good value for money.
We used this hotel in Italy and were happy to find the hotel staff speaking English. Professional and polite staff. Breakfast was exellent. Free and spacious parking. Free internet. Dead air in the bathroom. There were not many channels in English. Of course to have Russian channels would be fantastic! Free Wi-fi Internet was slow and unstable.
Best of I like breakfasts and park behind the hotel Nothing
the internet was a bit slow.
Fast to do check in Wi Fi conetion very poor
They think of everything!!! internet, great food for breakfast the hotel restaurant, service and food was poor
The staff couldn't speak English!
Poor breakfast.
Location in Tripadvisor was incorrect. This hotel is actually 29k from the centre of Verona No aircon. Location incorrect.
rooms, position hotel stuff didn't know english
Staff were very friendly and the rooms were in good condition. The bathrooms were particularly good. The single beds were quite narrow.
Service was very good. Nice breakfast.
Nice location and the rooms if you stay for one night (close to the highway). Good breakfast. Friendly staff
Quiet, clean, neat and tidy. Staff were very helpful. Hotel should consider having menu in other languages aside from Italian. Food was average and a little disappointing, but ok. Bread rolls were not fresh.
Hotel staff immediately split beds to make triple when we arrived which we appreciated. Good local wines served - meals in restaurant excellent Seemed business orientated. No tourist information available, and unable to get any information re sites, markets etc. Restaurant closed without notice on Sunday.
Good breakfast, friendly staff - would be a good business hotel Seems more like a business hotel. Although the location is convenient from Verona this appears to be a more industrial town.
very good large room with tea facilities, very good breakfast, nice location nearby ancient downtown
the room was really excellent, especially for paid price
Absolutely everything.One must go to unterstand what the words cann't describe.It is A class.You must have a room with castle view. NO!!!
situated right next to the old town of Soave no
Great value for money, very friendly and helpful stuff, spacious rooms, nice breakfast, easy to reach from the highway
Excellent hotel and services, comfortable room, I had a good time Nothing.
nice hotel,very clean,beautiful old village
Easy to find, not too far from Verona, the mediavel city Soave itself (one minute walk from the hotel) is worth for a tour. Spacious room, nice bathroom, helpfull stuff, extended breakfast with fresh friuts.
There were several things that really made a difference. One of things was the front staff, in particular; a young man who worked afternoon/evenings. I cannot recall his name, but he made an impression. He greeted us each time we walked in or out of the hotel, patiently answered our multitude of questions and was professional always. The other staff were just as nice. The convenience of the hotel to where we wanted to go/visit made it a perfect 'home base' for us. I wouldn't say that I did not like it, however; we all wished there was more variety offered at breakfast. What was provided was always fresh, and the staff were exceptional.
I liked wooden floor and marble bathroom, very quiet location and conveniently quick and simple access from A4 Highway. We were not late for breakfast (45 min before closing) but not all the offer was there (most bread and cheese were consumed already and the food was not added)
the hotel staff was very helpfull, the rooms are clean, free parking.
The standard of cleanliness in the hotel room and bathroom was exceptonal and the staff of this small, family run hotel were polite and so helpful.
Fantstic helpful & friendly staff! Could not fault the presentation of the hotel. Our stay was too short. Perfect stay!
Staff very helpful. Hepled us with winery tours.
very comfortable bed.nice brakfast.easy to find.
Fair price of minibar. Toothkit in the room. In hotel is everywere written that is Wi-Fi..thats mean that internet should be available in every room ,but this was not a true. Poor breakfest. Television was not working.
The staff was very nice, rooms enough large,very quiet place
Very kind hotel staff!!! No.
Very friendly and helpful staff.it was a pleasure staying there No restaurant but staff were very helpful in pointing us in the direction of 2 very fine res.
Location was excellent poor breakfast
quite,easy parking,rooms are spacious and comfortable
Helpful receptionist, clean room and large room with A/C, minibar and satellite TV, secure parking. Traffic noise coming from the road. Poor breakfast. The shower kit in the bathroom was out of order. Not easy to find with the coordinates written on the hotel page at night. Real and exact coordinates: N 45° 24' 26'' - E 11° 14' 04'' or, N 45° 24.444' - E 11° 14.083' . This will take you to the entrance of the hotel.
We had breakfast included and the first morning there was nothing left on the buffet as a tour bus was at breakfast first and the food was not replenished
the helpful staff poor breakfast
Excellent base for exploring the wine route. Within easy reach of Verona , Asiago , Lake Garda and Venice. The bed and breakfast is on an exceptional wine estate run by an energetic friendly family
I could make food in my room pretty cold at night
Quiet semi rural setting close to A4 motorway and Soave town centre Bedroom ceiling in the apartment was to low for all but the shortest person
Great location! Soave is an adorable medieval town, also very close to Verona & Vicenza. The B&B was very quiet (despite being close to the highway), with clean and comfortable rooms. Our quadruple room accommodated 3 adults and 2 young children (4 & 2) very well. The breakfast was very good and my husband said it was the best hotel coffee of the trip! We also enjoyed the winery tour and the children had fun playing with the old bottling equipment outside. Very child-friendly! The wine was excellent and we came home with as many bottles as we could carry. We would definitely stay there again if we are visiting the region or just driving by.
Nice and helpful receptionist. Daughter of the owner's family. Very knowleglable about wines of the region. Staff slow in refilling the brekafast buffet.
it was easy to find. a pleasure to stay in. our room was fantastic and far more luxurious than we anticipated for the price, want to go back now!!
Friendly helpful staff and great location, particulalry for wine lovers. The roof of the loft bedroom was a bit low, so we could not stand upright and the stairs to the loft were very steep.
The swimming pool was nice, but was under construction, and the workers made my daughters uneasy. The setting within the vineyard gave a nice appearance. The location is good onlly for Soave; it is quite far from anywhere else. The breakfast was all store-bought, packaged foods. Nothing fresh. The four-person apartment we rented had a very nice king-sized bed, but the bed was in a loft that did not receive any cool air from the a/c and was like an oven in the summer heat. A low ceiling made it impossible to stand upright. The bed downstairs is a pullout sofa which was very uncomfortable. The room appeared clean at first, but any higher rating of its cleanliness was negated when we found a roach crawling in the sink on our last morning there. The guest rooms are all above a basement workroom, which was in use and very noisy until eight in the evening
We where met with the most excellent service ever. Recomendation of restaurants, and things to do. That it was a winery aswell, should be mentioned, its a new winery, but their wine is excellent.
This was our second stay at B&B Monte Tondo. One of the highlights of our trip (again) for accommodations. Marta, the daughter of the owners who runs the Front Desk for the B&B and for Wine Tastings and sales, is an absolute charm and she made my wife and I feel very welcome. Prices are some of the best you will find, yet the rooms sizes and comfort are also among the top for B&Bs in Italy. Nothing
Nice, peaceful setting with a breathtaking view. Excellent choice for a night on your way to somewhere (like we were) but I would also consider to stay there for a few nights and explore the region better. Decoration is rustic and modern at the same time, a successful mix. Very good breakfast with cappuchino, bread, ham, cheese, pastries, fruits - all you wish for. What makes this place, apart from the setting and above points is definately the host, Christian. Open, friendly, available yet discreet. Might be tricky to find, especially if you arrive at night. Must point out that this was entirely our own fault though, we could have called before or checked the location better... After 3 phone calls host Chritian went out with his car to look for us in the dark !

NEW ULM, Minn. (AP) The city of New Ulm has agreed to pay $570,000 to the family members of two people killed when a police car crashed into their vehicle in 2011.
The city's insurer has paid the money to heirs of 82-year-old Myra Meyer and her 60-year-old son, Brian Wichmann.
The two were killed when Officer Mathew Rasmussen crashed into their vehicle while chasing a speeding suspect. Rasmussen was traveling at least 70 mph and did not have his lights or siren on at the time.
Meyer's three other children sued the city and Rasmussen, claiming he was negligent. The settlement was finalized in May but details were not disclosed.
The settlement includes no admission of wrongdoing.

Detroit Eagle — By George
L. Petrie — January 2002
Formula For A Winner
|Part 2: Detroit Eagle continued
Reflecting the "clean room" image, the engine room itself is a model of minimalist design, the only visible components being a pair of 3,650-hp MTU-DDC Series 4000 diesels flanking a 5,600-hp Detroit Diesel TF50 gas turbine. The overheads and walls are surfaced with flat aluminum panels painted glossy white with crisp red and black horizontal accent stripes. Almost as if he had read my mind, chief engineer David Wilder lifted the corner of a small one, then easily took it from its magnetic mounts and placed it to one side, revealing a pump mounted on a rack. The answer to my unspoken question was that all auxiliary equipment is concealed by similar lightweight panels firmly held in place by small magnets but easily removed by just lifting a corner. No screws or fastenings, no protruding handles, just smooth, clean side walls all around.
Even though most auxiliaries are hidden from view, a digital console lets Wilder monitor all systems from the comfort of an enclosed control room. At the core of the yacht's digital brain is a Seimens 400 PLC (programmable logic controller) that processes input from the DDECs and the Full Authority Digital Electronic Control systems (an electronic engine control system for the gas turbine) and drives the digital displays.
Wilder, who worked with Feadship's craftspeople outfitting the engine room during the last year of construction, was eager to show me other features that revealed Penske's influence. For starters, the MTU-DDC diesels are fitted with Cincinnati Gear epi-cyclic gearboxes: The input and output shafts are on the same axis so the engines can be as low as possible in the hull, thus lowering the yacht's center of gravity. To save weight, the shaft connecting the gas turbine and its waterjet is a laminated carbon fiber tube about 18 inches in diameter. Running on just the twin 3,650-hp diesels (turning 50-inch-diameter Lips propellers), Detroit Eagle cruises at 20 to 22 knots, with a top speed of 24 to 26 knots. Bringing the 5,600-hp TF50 gas turbine and waterjet online boosts the top speed to about 33 to 35 knots. Flat out, the 12,900-hp package guzzles fuel at a rate of some 700 gph.
Beneath the engine room's honeycomb-cored aluminum walkways, I could see for myself the deep longitudinal girders and transverse frames that form the backbone of the aluminum hull. Like a racecar's, the yacht's running surfaces are simple and clean, with propeller pockets and a moderate V at the stern to reduce draft and a fine entry with steep deadrise at the bow.
To keep the yacht's lines as smooth and aerodynamic as possible, the superstructure is low and the pilothouse is relatively well aft. Further enhancing the clean appearance, tenders are stowed out of sight in a cavernous garage that takes up most of the forward portion of the deckhouse and is accessed through a large panel hinged along the side.
Looking out over the long, low foredeck from the pilothouse or from the flying bridge helm station, I felt as though I was in the driver's seat of a low-slung racing machine. A bank of custom digital displays at both helm positions lets the captain keep tabs on all systems and equipment.
But I don't mean to imply that Detroit Eagle is all about engineering. On the contrary, she is as finely detailed and luxurious as you would expect from Feadship, with a beautifully executed interior designed by John Munford. Looking at the meticulous fit and finish, one would never guess that the deckhouse above the first deck is built of fiberglass and carbon fiber or that the interior bulkheads are honeycomb-cored to reduce weight and keep the center of gravity low. Nor would one guess that the luxurious furnishings are built of lightweight materials or that the richly toned madrona and lighter anigre interior joinery are veneer, vacuum-bagged over a foam or honeycomb core.
But not everything on the yacht is lightweight. Like any good diet, the diligent weight management program allowed a few indulgences. For example, in the main deck lounge, along the stairwell to the lower deck, there's a massive stainless steel railing specified by Penske. Brilliantly lacquered finishes on the interior joinery give Detroit Eagle a sharply defined, contemporary air. In counterpoint, soft textures and simple patterns in the furnishings make the interior feel warm and inviting. Particularly effective is the use of woven leather wall covering in the main stairwell and on the bulkheads enclosing the air-intake plenums, creating a welcoming texture in space that otherwise might have felt stark.
Accommodating the large engine room air-intake plenums posed a particular challenge, since they blocked a portion of the deckhouse that otherwise would have been allocated to windows. To compensate, a wide doorway from the saloon lets natural light flood forward into the dining room. Because the dining room is often used as a conference room, it can be closed off from the saloon by a beautiful etched-glass sliding door.
To give the yacht a more spacious feel, interior doors have been minimized. For example, a raised lounge area aft of the pilothouse affords wonderful views forward and to both sides, and in the owner's stateroom, partitions offer complete privacy in bathing and dressing areas without the need to close a door.
In all respects, Detroit Eagle exemplifies a winning formula. And if the careful planning, meticulous execution, and flawless details weren't suggestive enough of Penske's involvement in Detroit Eagle, the impressive array of racing helmets displayed in the pilothouse were a dead giveaway.

MF: But as for Rosemary and Edna, in their individual ways they are both earth mothers.
Sally began seeing child psychologist Dr. Edna Keener (Patricia Bethune) four times a week.
A few days ago, I met with Feinstein and Edna's "manager," Barry Humphries, in the bowels of the Henry Miller.
Now, whether Edna is a sympathetic character or not is not for me to judge.
I do believe there is one other similarity between Edna and Judge Judy in that Edna is quite possibly Jewish herself.
Miss Manwaring came to me yesterday with a letter of introduction from Edna English.
"I should think she'd do anything for variety," returned Edna.
"Telephone Service" was its name—and Edna Blank was its head.
Edna, will you run up-stairs and get it, from my bureau or table?
Secretly Edna was rather glad to hear this, even though it meant that the Fairmans went without meat for dinner.
fem. proper name, from Greek, from Hebrew ednah "delight" (see Eden). Related to Arabic ghadan "luxury." Among the top 20 names for girls born in the U.S. every year from 1889 to 1917.
