Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 2/6/2012 (1904 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
NEWARK, N.J. -- Brendan Shanahan has a lot of traits that make him a strong candidate for the job he holds, but it is his particular blend of intelligence and detached arrogance that makes him the ideal choice.
Shanahan, in his role of league disciplinarian, can never be right and never be wrong in his decisions. Everyone has a different opinion and he faces criticism and praise at every turn. If he were to listen carefully and try to absorb the running commentary on his fitness for the position, he'd be in hospital right now with some sort of syndrome.
Shanahan, lucky for him, cares little what others think of his decisions. He has the support of commissioner Gary Bettman and really, that's all that matters. Who cares about a puffed-up Glen Sather, inconsolable fan, raging player agent or foaming reporter?
"My skin has thickened." Shanahan told the Free Press between Games 1 and 2 of the Stanley Cup final. "I'm always open for constructive criticism. You can't shut yourself off from the world and not learn if you want to improve. But at the same time I just remind myself about our mandate, and that's to make players have safer and longer careers."
For a future Hall of Famer like Shanahan, with three Cups on his resume and 1,354 points over 1,524 games, there was no shortage of job opportunities when he retired, but he chose what is perhaps the most difficult in hockey management.
"It's not a job where you say, 'Boy this is fun.' I like the challenge of trying to do something that is important for the game of hockey," said Shanahan.
Bettman appointed him and has supported him at every turn. A Shanahan mistake is a Bettman mistake and the commissioner ranks ahead of his employee in terms of self-assuredness.
Don't get me wrong, I've got no complaint with these men and their belief that they know better than the rest of us. It doesn't make them right all the time, but it does make them right for the jobs they hold.
"In the scope of time and the way some of the rules have changed, and player behavior and player recognition when it comes to head injuries, I think players have made a lot of strides," said Shanahan.
"It's hard (for fans) to notice the things we notice, like when a player lets up on a guy or when a player recognizes in a split-second that another player is in a defenceless position. Nobody reports on the safe landings at the airport. There have been a lot of positive strides but there are still incidents. To me it's a matter of not wavering and making the difficult call sometimes."
Shanahan says the law and order portfolio of his appointment is just a small slice of what he does.
"People look at the suspensions and think that's all we do, but it's a very small percentage of what we do.
"We meet with players, we meet with all the teams, have conversations with players and GMs," said Shanahan.
The league also makes teaching videos from game action, to demonstrate to players and coaches what is deemed acceptable and what is not. And if a player starts trending toward dangerous play, he is warned that he is skating on this ice.
"I believe we made 81 warning calls to players. Maybe in the past it was just a mental note that a player was creeping toward the more dangerous side. Now when we seem those things starting to develop we'll call and head him off at the pass."
As one coach famously replied to a question about what the fans wanted: "The minute I start listening to the fans is the minute I should go and sit in the stands with them."
Same goes for Shanahan. He should know better than the rest of us and you can rest assured he's firm in the knowledge that he does.

CLEARWATER — Authorities have arrested a Tarpon Springs man suspected of using an assault rifle in a string of robberies throughout Tampa Bay.
Authorities took 32-year-old Stephen P. Attore into custody at his home without incident Wednesday night.
Attore is a suspect in armed robberies in both Pinellas and Hillsborough counties.
In Pinellas, he's accused of using an AR-15 on July 25 to rob a Papa John's Pizza restaurant in Clearwater.
The next day, officials say, Attore robbed a Tampa hotel.
Investigators with the Tampa Police Department and Pinellas County Sheriff's Office are working together on the case. Attore may be linked to other robberies, according to the sheriff's office.
Detectives are working to recover the gun.

Hempfield stays alive in playoff race
It sounded like a lame excuse, but it was far from it.
First-year Hempfield coach Rich Bowen couldn't have said it better after his Spartans pulled away from Norwin in the second half for a 42-8 victory on Friday night, keeping alive their WPIAL playoff hopes in the Quad East Conference.
"It's been a long, hard couple of weeks with all the injuries," a jubilant Bowen said.
Playing for much of the season without a host of key players, including top running backs Joey DeFloria (broken arm) and Skyler Carkuff (knee), Hempfield's promising start had gone sour. The Spartans entered the Norwin game losers in four of their previous five games after a 2-0 start.
De'Lorian Day rushed for 121 yards and three touchdowns and passed for another, and D.J. Gearhart added 119 yards and one score as Hempfield (4-4, 4-3) wore down Norwin (1-7, 1-7), which dropped its fourth consecutive decision.
Hempfield ended a three-game skid.
Ty George threw one touchdown pass to Tyler Handlan, a 28-yarder in the third quarter that gave Hempfield a 21-8 lead after Norwin closed the gap to 14-8 on a 25-yard touchdown run by Casey Rebosky.
"Give that team some credit. They made us work," Bowen said. "Norwin is getting better. It doesn't show in the results, but they're young and we were in the game there in the first half."
Hempfield led just 14-2 at the break after George Day with Handlan on a 15-yard scoring pass in the first quarter and Day rushed 22 yards for a touchdown in the second quarter. In between, Norwin scored on a safety after pinning Hempfield on its 1 by downing a punt near the goal line.
George's TD pass to Handlan early in the third quarter began a spree of 28 unanswered points for Hempfield, which closes out the regular season at home on Friday night against Class AAAA No. 10 Penn-Trafford.
Touchdown runs by Day from the quarterback position of 4 yards in the third quarter and 41 yards in the fourth increased the Hempfield lead to 35-8 before Gearhart capped the night with a 4-yard touchdown run late in the fourth.
"I was pleased with the way DeLorian Day and Ty George played, rotating at quarterback," Bowen said. "I'm proud of everyone on this team for how they've carried on. We could've folded up the tents, but these games mean something and I just think our guys have overcome a lot of adversity."
Hempfield survived a rough start when penalties plagued the Spartans, who were whistled nine times for 86 yards before halftime.
Before the game, U.S. Rep. Tim Murphy, R-Pa., presented a flag to the family and school in honor of Lt. Col. Christopher "Otis" Raible, the marine and former Norwin player who was killed in action in Afghanistan in September.
He was buried at Arlington (Va.) National Cemetery.

Rachael Ray's New Bakeware is Without Compareby Emily Silman in View All Posts, August 4th, 2009
Listen up, Rachael Ray fans… Rachael's got a brand-new line of bakeware, now at the Food Network Store! It's called Oven Lovin', and I'm really lovin' it. I've been bursting at the seams wanting to tell you about it ever since I saw the line at the Chicago Housewares Show back in March. I was sworn to secrecy about it until launch, but the wonderful folks at Bonjour Gourmet—the company that produces Rachael's cookware and bakeware—sent me some samples to try out at home. For those of us who love nothing more than playing around in the kitchen, getting new toys to play with is like being a kid on Christmas morning. And since I'm addicted to baking, getting the cookie sheets, muffin tins, cake pans, and loaf pans was like getting a visit from my kitchen fairy godmother. And boy, have I had fun with them.

"Our wedding shower invites and thank you post cards were absolutely beautiful. On the thank you cards we used our own (personal) photo shots and were extremely happy with the print, photo, and card stock quality. Both cards were amazing! Thank you for the beautiful work you do."
"We wanted the ability to have one main picture on the front and then a few extra ones inside on our wedding thank you cards. This seemed to be the only one that allowed this. It was easy to add photos and change the design. The end product is amazing and we changed the design to have a plain white background so it didn't crash as much with our save the dates and wedding invitations. I'm so excited to send these out!"
"This is my second purchase from wedding paper divas and again I am very happy with my product. Easy site to navigate, super fast delivery all the way to NZ. The print and paper quality would have been perfect if the bottom pictures hadn't been cropped slightly. They still look great but it may pay to check your not going to lose anything important if the bottom is cropped just a smidge. Again very pleased with this company :)"
"WeddingPaperDivas was wonderful to help me customize the card for my wedding colors and the paper and envelopes are great quality."
"I loved our thank you cards. We chose the color coast on the cards and added all of our coastal wedding pictures and it turned out beautiful."

New York Giants running back Ahmad Bradshaw is a talented running back whop trusts his skills, maybe more than he needs to.
Over the early part of his career, Bradshaw has had the maddening tendency to try to "make something happen" before his blocking can develop. With the Giants running game off to a very slow start, every player has had to look into the mirror, including Bradshaw. The team has had only 9 runs of over 10 yards in 6 games so far, but running backs coach Gerald Ingram sees progress in Bradshaw.
"I think that's something that we've always worked on with him because he's always been very impatient," said running backs coach Jerald Ingram.
"He likes to get up there as fast and as hard as you can – he doesn't like those two- and three-yard runs. He is always trying to find more or always trying to get in space. That's something he's working on."
Bradshaw finished the last game against Buffalo with over 100 yards and 3 touchdowns, his best performance of the season to this point. Ingram indicated that Bradshaw did a great job in the game of following his blockers and trusting them more than he had been of late.
Also impressively, the running game was able to get on track without the presence of all- pro right guard Chris Snee, whom the team will have moving forward.
It will be imperative that the Giants establish solid balance on offense on a game to game basis if quarterback Eli Manning is to continue his efficient level of play.

From Here to Eternity

LONELY HEARTS OF THE COSMOS The Scientific Quest for the Secret of the Universe. By Dennis Overbye. Illustrated. 438 pp. New York: HarperCollins Publishers. $25.
A small, poignant moment arrives near the end of "Lonely Hearts of the Cosmos," a battlefield history of cosmology. An astronomer picks up a 30-year-old chart and starts tapping individual ink marks, each one a galaxy not far from our own. "Okay, Cepheid distance, Cepheid distance, Cepheid, Cepheid, Cepheid, Cepheid, Cepheid, Cepheid, Cepheid," he says (and by now we're so entangled in his story that this actually passes for mesmerizing dialogue). "Here's my Cepheid distance, Cepheid distance, I divined that, and I divined that." In these data points -- each one representing long hours in the cold dome of a telescope -- he was seeing the raw genesis of the modern understanding of where the universe is headed.
There may be no grander themes in science than the ones commandeered by the cosmologists: the origin of the universe, the destiny of the universe, how big it is, how old it is. And at the moment there may be no discipline more riddled with confusion, backtracking and theoretical uneasiness. Understandably, there's a good share of near-theological speculation as well. (If the quest for the secret of the universe sometimes sounds like the stock in trade of the Pope or the Dalai Lama, that's all right. Pope Pius XII and Tenzin Gyatso, the current Dalai Lama, both make cameo appearances here.) Cosmology's current theories -- and there are quite a few in contention -- without exception look deeply flawed.
Yet the ink marks painstakingly plotted by the cosmologists of this century have created an extraordinary amount of knowledge in a short time about what turns out to be quite an exotic universe. When Albert Einstein started working out the geometry, astronomers had nothing to keep track of but planets, stars and void, plus an occasional moon or comet. Even galaxies were a thing of the future. We have not reached the end of Einstein's century, and today's cosmologist rides herd on quasars and supernovae, black holes and white dwarfs, gravitational lenses and superconducting strings and plasma shock waves in the astonishingly lively stuff that we call vacuum. Cosmologists have to worry about subatomic particles while keeping in perspective the giant pancakes and soap bubbles of the universe's large-scale structure.
How all these strange creatures emerged from the telescopes and ink plots of the last two generations is the story Dennis Overbye tells in "Lonely Hearts of the Cosmos." It is a vivid and passionate telling. Mr. Overbye, a science journalist and contributing essayist to Time magazine, seems to have lived among the men and women of cosmology for years, attending their conferences, recording their conversations, joining them by night in the cages of the great telescopes and banging into their offices by day. He likes them and admires them, and through their eyes he has assembled a mostly oral history of their enterprise. The story is detailed and suitably disheveled. Mr. Overbye leads us past virtually every milestone, large and small: the discovery of cosmic expansion, black holes, the microwave echo of the big bang. When Allan Sandage, the astronomer who serves as the narrative's central figure, plots a thousand stars on a chart in 1952 and experiences a revelation about stellar evolution, we understand his excitement, just as we understand him again a long generation later when he chants, "Cepheid, Cepheid, Cepheid."
"Lonely Hearts of the Cosmos" will not be the last history of modern cosmology. It is strictly a report from the trenches, lacking some distance from its subjects. It omits any source notes or bibliography. Mr. Overbye is as entangled in his story as we are and sometimes lets an overwhelming amount of detail sift through. He mingles interviews in the present with narrative of the past. And scientists don't just reminisce -- they reminisce while drinking a reddish tea-colored Manhattan, or eating lunch in the towering lobby of the Austin Hyatt-Regency Hotel, or wearing comfortable-looking hiking boots, or hiking boots with ferocious lug soles.
But for his sense of their culture of science -- the traditions, the slang, the rivalries, the unwritten rules -- Mr. Overbye makes himself a wonderful tour guide. Sometimes he is content to play the naif walking among giants (though they are well aware of his presence; in one faintly comic moment, Mr. Sandage, asked about a comment of a rival, Gerard de Vaucouleurs, reaches over and speaks into the author's tape recorder as though it were a telephone: "Now, you know that's wrong, Gerard"). At other times Mr. Overbye takes the microphone himself to become an expressive master of ceremonies.
"Cosmology is serious business," he writes, describing an address delivered by Mr. Sandage before the launching of the Hubble Space Telescope, "and in our hearts we are nothing if not cosmologists, hanging in a cold cage sifting the ruthless jewels of existence. Someday Sandage's atoms and those of everyone in that lecture hall would be splashed across space, stripped, and recombined in some as-yet-unborn star, or slumped into a black hole. . . . This was the image I wanted to retain of Sandage, a cosmic quipster, edgy as a razor, scat quick, and humorously dry as a lemon, standing on the lip of the stage as if it were the edge of eternity, one eye on the audience scanning for trouble, some hard fact, the other one gazing much farther." He mixes his metaphors and takes chances with his prose and sometimes snares us: cosmology is, after all, about the secrets of the universe.

Piaggio Aero Industries is considering laying off 150 to 170 workers over the next few months. This reduction follows a three-year period of transition of ownership from the Italian government, where a "pre-purchase level of employees was to be retained," said company officials. The personnel changes result from "efficiencies created by the new management team." These layoffs are not for reduced production in response to market conditions, Piaggio emphasized. "In fact, production is continuing to increase, with 14 to 18 Avanti twin turboprops planned to be built this year and
at least 22 next year."

If you don't want to compromise in the face of the halting problem, more
power to you but don't expect me to join you. Your desire to avoid
compromises will not make the halting problem go away. Regardless, I don't
see what is broken about computability theory.
I don't think you understood which theory I applied pragmatically.
Are you arguing in support of hidden constraints and hidden updates as good
enough even if not perfect?
I don't see what this has to do with whether the dbms must express to the
user every constraint that might affect a user prior to the user
encountering it at runtime. (ie. no hidden constraints)
I believe in more than one theory. I prefer not to ignore the halting problem.
You have just given your safety system the task of solving the halting problem.
Your absolute rejection won't change anything or solve the halting problem.
I know. While not the exact situation, I believe the following reference
deals with a similar problem:
One may come up with algorithms that transform some constraints such that
they no longer mention hidden relvars, but the general case is a hard
problem. In fact, I suspect it is fairly easy to prove that one cannot
describe some simple constraints without explicit reference to a specific
relvar. Even if the security function prevents one from spelling out the
constraint to a user, the dbms can still enforce it.
It is wrong to assume it was impossible for the manager to attempt to
violate any of the transition constraints on the basis of no attempt. He was
not able to see the other audit trail directly. He never tried to violate
any of the transition constraints the dbms enforced, which is the equivalent
of not looking.
I have thought about it. The example involves both hidden updates and hidden
constraints. If the manager violated a transition constraint that references
the relvars he manipulates and the relvars hidden from view, the dbms would
have to balk even though the security function prevents the dbms from
mentioning the hidden relvars.
The triggered procedures might force every transition to match the
constraint, or they might not. In general, the dbms won't be able to decide
whether this is the case; although, it might be able to decide some or even
most of the time.
Consider a situation where the dbms is upgraded and where the upgrade
includes an additional algorithm that would determine whether a specific
triggered procedure will guarantee a constraint.
On the basis of this algorithm, the dbms might conclude it does not need to
enforce a specific constraint because it now knows the data can never
violate it. (i.e. the dbms has a proof that the constraint always evaluates
to true for a specific update.) The dbms might run faster, but there is no
change in logical behaviour because the update never could violate the
constraint even when the dbms tested for it during the update.
Consider the situation with your 'safety system'. Prior to the upgrade, the
dbms lacks the ability to know whether to enforce the constraint and might
conclude it is too expensive to decide the matter. (ie. the dbms balks on a
specific update) After the upgrade, the dbms allows the update. The addition
of a new optimization algorithm should not change the logical behaviour of
the dbms.
The 'safety system' approach you propose above will cause the logical
behaviour to change even though the logic remains the same.

The actress and Alexandra Hedison exchanged vows in a private ceremony after about a year of dating.
Jodie Foster tied the knot to girlfriend Alexandra Hedison over the weekend. A representative of the "Panic Room" star confirmed to E! News on Wednesday, April 23 that the couple exchanged vows in a low-key ceremony.
Foster and Hedison had been dating for about a year. The notoriously private actress never confirmed their relationship but sparked dating rumor after they were spotted out and about together last summer. "It's pretty serious," E! reported at the time. "They're totally in love."
Foster opened up a bit about her personal life when giving an acceptance speech at the 2013 Golden Globes. She said she did her "coming out about a thousand years ago back in the stone age," adding, "If you had been a public figure from the time that you were a toddler, if you had to fight for a life that felt real and honest and normal against all odds, then maybe then you too might value privacy above all else."
Before Hedison, Foster was in a longterm relationship with Cydney Bernard. The couple, who separated in 2008, co-parented two sons, Charles and Kit. Hadison previously dated Ellen DeGeneres for three years before DeGeneres moved on with Portia de Rossi

One of my favorite Mac OS X features is the capability to "print" to a PDF file. In any program, you just choose the Print command, click on the PDF button in the Print dialog, and then choose Save As PDF. In fact, as part of my personal efforts to conserve, the vast majority of "printing" I do these days is directly to PDF. For example, I have a Receipts folder that contains a PDF receipt for every online purchase from the past few years. (Which means that in addition to saving trees and toner, I've also made it easier to store and find information about past purchases. And since I have a good backup routine, all those documents are also backed up regularly.)
My only beef with this system is that I wish it were more efficient. Whereas printing involves simply pressing Command+P and then the return key, saving a document as a PDF requires me to press Command+P, mouse down to the PDF button and click on it, choose Save as PDF from the resulting menu, navigate to the desired folder, and then press return. (If I choose to rename the resulting PDF before saving, that's another step.) This may not seem like much, but when you print to PDF as many times each day as I do, it's a hassle.
I found a solution in CodePoetry's CUPS-PDF. Actually a Mac OS X-specific version of the open-source CUPS-PDF project, CUPS-PDF is essentially a virtual printer driver for CUPS (Common UNIX Printing System), OS X's printing software. Once installed, using OS X's own Installer program, CUPS-PDF lets you create a "printer" that automatically saves documents as PDF files.
Setup isn't difficult, but it requires a few more steps than adding most printers. In Leopard, you open the Print & Fax pane of System Preferences, and then click on the add (+) button. In the window that appears, click on Default in the toolbar, then select CUPS-PDF in the printer list. (The default printer name will be "CUPS-PDF"; you can change it, if you prefer, in the Name field.) From the Print Using pop-up menu, choose Select A Driver To Use, and then select Generic Postscript Color Printer in the list of printer drivers. Click on Add to create the new printer.
Once you've completed that initial setup process, your new PDF "printer" appears in the Printer pop-up menu in every print dialog. Choose it and click on Print and a PDF of your document is created in a new cups-pdf folder on your Desktop, with the PDF file named using a combination of the document name (the Web page name if printing from a browser) and the CUPS print-job number. If, like me, you save to PDF more than you print to paper, you can set your virtual printer as the default using Print & Fax preferences; this makes saving documents as PDF files as easy as pressing Command+P, return.
CUPS-PDF is also useful for converting documents to PDF format. If you place your CUPS-PDF printer in the Dock, or create an alias of it on the Desktop, you can drag most documents onto the printer icon to automatically save a PDF version in your CUPS-PDF folder. (The printer--actually its print-queue program--is located in ~/Library/Printers. Just drag that printer icon to your Dock, or hold down command-option while dragging the icon to your Desktop to create an alias in that location.)
If you prefer to save your PDF files somewhere other than the default location, you can edit the destination folder in the CUPS-PDF configuration file (/etc/cups/cups-pdf.conf); specifically, you want to edit this line:
Out ${HOME}/Desktop/cups-pdf/
changing {HOME}/Desktop/cups-pdf/ to the path to your desired folder. For example to save to a folder called PDFs inside your Documents folder, you'd change the line to read Out ${HOME}/Documents/PDFs/
There are a few downsides to CUPS-PDF compared to using the Print dialog's Save As PDF command. First, PDF files created using CUPS-PDF are roughly twice as large as OS X's built-in feature. Second, if you use Preview or Adobe Reader to inspect the PDF's information, OS X's built-in PDF-saving feature includes a few more details, such as the name of the user who created the PDF. Finally, with CUPS-PDF, you don't get a chance to change the name of the resulting PDF file before saving (although for me, this is an advantage, as skipping the Save dialog makes the process more efficient).

Randy Neugebauer: Publicly apologize to the U.S. Park Service Ranger
On Wednesday, October 02, Randy Neugebauer, a United States Representative (R-TX), rudely and publicly rebuked a U.S. Park Service Ranger for carrying out orders to close the World War II National Memorial, run by the NPS in Washington, DC. The Texas Representative proved a strong lack of understanding about how public law and the government's reach into every aspect of our society work by incorrectly interfering in the duties of his fellow public employee. We are asking for Rep. Neugebauer to correct his misstep and publicly apologize to the U.S. Park Service Ranger for his obtuse and disrespectful comments.#apologizerandy "How do you look at them and... deny them access?" said Neugebauer. "It's difficult," responded the Park Service employee. "Well, it should be difficult," replied the congressman, who was carrying a small American flag in his breast pocket. "It is difficult," responded the Park Service employee. "I'm sorry, sir." "The Park Service should be ashamed of themselves," the congressman said. "I'm not ashamed," replied the ranger. www.apologizerandy.com http://goo.gl/ZSEFSj short code

Another great installment of the League from Moore. This time he takes the conceit of using characters from literature to a new level, and uses "War of the World" as the scaffolding or this story. I love the twist of incorporating Dr. Moreau as well. I wish some of the stuff that happens on Mars at the beginning of the story was fleshed out more, as I found it fascinating. The story-telling is quirky and fun, and it's a very enjoyable ride. The encyclopedia-like almanac at the end has some interesting tidbits in it, and does contain some explanations useful if you plan on reading the Black Dossier, but otherwise I found that section a bit dry.

No Way Out, Yet
The Americans have no idea how to define success that will allow them to end the fight in Afghanistan
The American security firm Blackwater, several of whose employees have been accused of murdering civilians in Iraq, can rest easy. The U.S. administration recently awarded it a $220 million contract for work in Afghanistan. Blackwater, which as part of its attempts to change its image is now known as Xe Services, will secure the new American Embassy building in Kabul and the Central Intelligence Agency bases in that country.
Congressmen are fuming because the contract was awarded to the company that was booted out of Iraq and described in a congressional report as "being staffed with reckless, shoot-first guards who were not always sober and did not always stop to see who or what was hit by their bullets." But this apparently isn't bothering CIA chief Leon Panetta. In response to complaints about the signing of the contract, Panetta said there is an increasing need for security, and it appears there aren't many alternatives.
If the decision to employ Xe Services seems strange, to say the least, Panetta's statement that only about 50 to 100 Al-Qaida fighters remain and are in Pakistan's tribal areas implies that the CIA does not know exactly whom it is fighting. And we have not yet said a word about where Osama bin Laden is; the last precise information is from 2005.
Gen. Stanley McChrystal's dismissal because of the Rolling Stone story in which his aides disparaged Vice President Joe Biden brought to the surface the discord among decision-makers in the U.S. administration.
McChrystal, who last week announced he would retire from the military and not wait for another assignment, copied from Iraq to Afghanistan the strategy based on a big increase in troop numbers. He intended to act extensively against the Taliban, in close cooperation with Afghanistan's military forces and civilians.
This strategy assumes that civilian cooperation is essential for military achievements. Therefore, it is necessary to have a stable government and tremendous development budgets, which will make clear to the people who is serving their interests and encourage the Taliban to lay down their arms.
To this end McChrystal asked for, and received, around 30,000 additional soldiers. According to the presidential order, this effort should lead to the withdrawal of American forces in July 2011. Biden did not support this strategy. In his opinion, focused operations against terror activists was preferable to showy military actions.
Active Taliban
McChrystal's strategy will also be implemented after Gen. David Petraeus, head of Central Command, takes over. Even if this strategy has not yet yielded real results, there is nothing to replace it at the moment. The battle for Marja in Helmand Province, which was supposed to mark a turning point in the way military operations are carried out, did kill many Taliban (and Afghani civilians, while causing tens of thousands to flee. ) However, as predicted, the Taliban have taken over other areas of the country and have not stopped attacking in Marja.
The result is that the target date for the start of the American withdrawal, July 2011, is not yet a sure thing. "Now, there has been a lot of obsession around this whole issue of when do we leave," said U.S. President Barack Obama at a press conference at the G-20 conference in Toronto. "My focus right now is how do we make sure that what we're doing there is successful."
The problem is that there is no definition of "mission successful."
The obstacles, however, are perfectly clear. For example, the American planners aim to build an effective Afghani army and police force based on 400,000 recruits. According to estimates, at the American training center in Afghanistan it is possible to train 28,000 soldiers a year, at a basic level.
But it turns out that new recruits come mainly to earn some money, not to fight. Many of them disappear after they receive their first pay packet. The basic training courses for police, which last eight weeks in the United States, are abbreviated in Afghanistan to three weeks. According to reports that have reached Congress, many of the new police are permanently high on drugs.
The Afghani rookies train using American methods, which include carrying heavy backpacks, something they are not used to. The weapons they have received from the U.S. military, M-16 rifles, are sensitive to dust and are not suited to Afghanistan.
Ethnic problems
A bigger problem lies in the tensions among the ethnic groups. In the military units there is balance, more or less, between the Pashtuns, who are the majority in the country and from whom the Taliban stem, and the Uzbeks, Tajiks and Hazaras (who are mostly Shi'ites ). But when it comes to fighting the Taliban in Pashtun regions, Pashtun soldiers are hesitant and the burden falls on the Americans.
The inter-ethnic tension in the army is linked to the political tension in the country. President Hamid Karzai, whom the Americans chronically distrust, is pursuing an independent policy that does not jibe with the U.S. strategy. Unlike Washington, he takes the American withdrawal date seriously and is preparing for it.
Karzai is focusing on enlisting the support of Taliban leaders to ensure security and political stability in the country on the day the American defense evaporates. To this end he has been talking for several weeks with his colleagues in Pakistan, who support his approach. For them, too, cooperating with the Taliban will provide a political advantage.
The Taliban leaders, and especially the head of the Haqqani movement, Jalaluddin Haqqani, who commands the largest radical militia in Afghanistan, have declared they will negotiate only when the Americans leave Afghanistan. Until then they will persist in their fight against Karzai and the Americans.
In the meantime, however, Karzai continues to take steps to bring the Taliban closer. He has fired his army chief of staff, Bismullah Khan, and brought about the resignation of intelligence chief Amrullah Saleh. Both men are of Tajik origin, fought the Taliban at the start of the war in 2001 and are considered fierce opponents of rapprochement with the Taliban. Both, incidentally, have excellent relations with the CIA, which sees their dismissal as a measure designed to obstruct the American strategy.
In light of the changes in the Afghani administration, there has been an awakening among the Uzbek and Tajik leaders, who fear that Karzai is "giving the country to the Taliban," in the words Rahman Oghli, an Uzbek member of parliament. "Afghanistan is liable to revert to civil war if the Taliban are part of the regime," he says.
The U.S. administration is investing about $7 billion a month in the war in Afghanistan. However, as in Iraq, where military operations and street battles dictated the shaky political outcome, in Afghanistan the Americans have no idea how to define success that will allow them to end the fight.

IT is true that Rovers have had some poor refereeing decisions go against them already this season.
And it is true that they were right to feel aggrieved here when Keith Stroud and his assistants failed to spot a foul on Craig Conway in the lead up to Wolves' second goal and when Danny Batth escaped without further sanction after giving a penalty away.
But the bottom line is that Rovers did not lose this game because of the actions, or lack of them, of the officials – they lost this game because their defending was nowhere near up to the standard required for a side serious about winning promotion.
Worryingly this cannot be put down as a one off.
You have to go back to February 22 for the last time Rovers kept a clean sheet away from home and, while this was just their second loss in 17 league outings, during that time they have conceded 30 goals with 20 of them coming away from home.
It is all well and good having the potential to be one of the most potent attacking forces in the division – and 39 goals over the same period backs that assertion up – but you cannot and should not consistently have to rely on scoring two, three or even four times to win a match.
In the main that is what Rovers have been having to do to offset their inability to stop handing out gifts at the other end of the field.
It was always going to catch up with them and that is precisely what happened on a disheartening afternoon in the Black Country.
Rovers had more of the ball and more shots than a resurgent and high flying Wolves side whose unbeaten home league run now stands at 15 games and nine months.
Ultimately, though, the spells of possession and pressure they did enjoy in both halves counted for absolutely nothing after they gave away a trio of so, so soft goals.
It cost Rovers dear and it will cost them again unless lessons are learned.
What Gary Bowyer and his staff must now do is ensure that they are.
And if that means making changes, then so be it.
Rovers boss Bowyer will certainly have an extra body at the back by the time Wigan Athletic arrive at Ewood Park after the international break.
Shane Duffy, whose impending arrival from Everton was confirmed after the match, will provide genuine competition in the centre of defence.
But Saturday also underlined what Bowyer knows and accepts – he must, if he can, strengthen other areas of his squad, be it before the window for permanent signings shuts tonight or when the loan window reopens later this month.
With talismanic striker Rudy Gestede absent with an ankle injury, the only obvious replacement for the player who is now central to the way Rovers play was Luke Varney, as Chris Brown, though named among the substitutes, was clearly not fit enough to come on.
But Bowyer, who was also without in-form left back Markus Olsson because of a family bereavement, instead made the decision to select defensive midfielder Lee Williamson ahead of Varney and move Tom Cairney into the 'hole' behind lone forward Jordan Rhodes.
It was a decision he must have lived to regret as Williamson was to blame for the game's opening goal.
But you cannot fault Rhodes, the Rovers player to emerge with the most credit and whose coolly converted 59th-minute penalty – a penalty he had won after he raced on to Cairney's through pass before being barged over in the box by Batth with just Carl Ikeme to beat – gave his side hope of extending their unbeaten run at Molineux to seven matches.
However nine minutes later Grant Hanley allowed himself to be turned this way and that by Nouha Dicko who then pulled the ball back for fellow Mali international Bakary Sako to beat Paul Robinson with a scuffed shot that the former England goalkeeper should have kept out.
Rovers captain Hanley was also partly to blame for the excellent winger's first goal in the 33rd minute as, after Conway had been impeded near the touchline, he gave away a needless free kick on the corner of the box.
Super Sako did the rest but, as good as his strike was, there was no way it should have got past and through an undermanned and woefully weak wall.
Wolves' opener, after an even first 12 minutes, was just as bad as a dreadful and unnecessarily ambitious pass from Williamson led to Dicko meeting an inviting cross from former Burnley midfielder Kevin McDonald and flicking a deft header into the bottom corner.
Robinson, who was making his 200th appearance for Rovers, went on to deny Lee Evans, Matt Doherty and Dave Edwards while his opposite number was equally as busy, saving from Marshall and, most impressively, Conway.
But after Ikeme acrobatically tipped that latter effort over the bar, moments after Sako's killer second, the match petered out to the disappointment of the 1,023 travelling supporters.

I'm a pseudo-intellectual in the midst of a renaissance. going from safe into the realm of uncertainty. one thing is for sure, you won't find anyone quite like me.
I'm an ex-introvert that gets enjoyment from the smaller things in life. I'm looking for a partner-in-crime to enjoy things even more. Brazilian Jiu-jitsu and I have a love-hate relationship. old cars are always a way I find new excitement. I love all sorts of movies but will never call it "The Cinema." that just sounds very douchy! I still get a certain excitement, nay...a euphoric feeling from reading a great book.
my pictures don't give me any justice. I'm even more goofy-looking in real life, but if you look into my eyes I'll have you. (lil cocky?)
I came to the online dating world simply cause I've come across the same thing over and over again. hopefully I can meet the exception to the rule.
I'm a Prince Charming who is looking for his damsel who is NOT in distress. are you a super hero?
soy feo, pero soy hombre bueno. sigo luchando, sigo pensando positivo.
I am ambitious, trusting, and huh
soy feo, pero soy hombre bueno. sigo luchando, sigo pensando positivo.
-Mark Twain
after "ONLY" turning 33 years old recently, I've decided that I'm going to do more with my life that will make me happy (crazy idea, I know.) did to much with the just existing, now on to the living.
Remember when I said I don't really like talking about myself? THIS question is very high on that list. my job is not who I am, its just a way I get paid. my job is not a status symbol, and neither is my automobile.
le tengo que dar tanto gracias al Jiu-jitsu brasileno. estoy mas calmado gracias a esos brasilienos, pero nunce se lo digo, hahaha
I'm really good just laughing at myself. why take things so serious all of the time? people who can't laugh at themselves but say are very, VERY confident are just fooling themselves. if you you're someone who can't laugh at yourself, I feel sorry for you....afterall, we're on an online dating site, COME ON! I'm really good at anything I set my mind on doing. except this online dating thing. maybe going to a pay site will be better?
READING. as simple as it sounds, reading is a way we learn. knowledge is power.
eventhough I haven't done it in such a long time, I love to cook. being cuban of course I can cook cuban food but I can cook almost anything. I've prepared lots of food from all over latin america, parts of asia, and few places in between. email me and I'll be more specific about this part.
As much as I'm confident in my cooking, I'm going to start baking more. why do I have so many friends who are diabetic? haha
Y que hablo mas de un idioma.
My eyes, that I speak spanish, my willingness to laugh at the smallest things and even laugh at myself. laughter is such great medicine.
I'll always have a smile on my face. I'll smile even larger if I eat food that is delicious, its completely involuntary. if you haven't eaten something so good that you don't smile...I feel sorry for you. good food = joyous moments.
I find the smile of children to be very infectious. there view of the world is pretty awesome. kids are people, too (so I've heard.)
I'm so deep in thought sometimes that I sorta...kinda...stumble over my own words sometimes. I may ramble on, but its just one of my lil foibles that just seems to make me AWESOME!
Si, yo hablo Espanol. es uno de los idiomas que se.
my mind. stories from Sir Arthur Conan Doyle makes the hamster wheel of my head go into overdrive...and yes, I did love Sherlock Holmes I've really enjoy alot of Robert Downey Jr flix
over these recent years...Kiss Kiss, Bang BangGarden State (I have such a thing for Natalie Portman) Iron Man just to name a few.Simon Pegg and Will Ferrel are comedy geniuses. Japanese samurai and gangster flix are so awesome. Fight Club is a good movie, even better book.
who needs drugs when you have music?? I could listen to almost anything...Jimi Hendrix and The Doors to classical stuff the next thing. as much as I find a thrill with music
I don't own an Ipod whats the point in having your entire music library on your person?? if there is anything I like more than music, it has to be food. being cuban of course
I have to say [cuban food]] first...and thats ok with me, haha. being in So Cal, how can you not have a fave Mexican food joint??? a good cheesecake can be almost as, if not better than mediocre sex. a lil over a year ago I was introduced to 7 layer dip
and fell in love almost immediately. I could go on n on about food...but I'll just end my love of food with OREO's ...YOU'RE WELCOME!!!
Does "The Girl Next Door" truly exist in this day and age?
The best thing in life you can be is yourself.
the number 42 ?
Where to travel to....Europe...Asia...South Africa?!?!?!?

...and as I've been spending an inordinate amount on OKcupid recently, I've been thinking about how much of a meat market this site is.
Watching (in part) the Super Bowl, I'm thinking when in the heck the Gracie Barra soccer league will start. I want to get started playing some Soccer. Yeah, I know I'm technically "LATINO," but the sport will always be called SOCCER to me. football is that thing here in LA that we just do not have.
Why the hell I am single! I know I am a G-R-E-A-T guy. sure, I'm fugly and furry...but still, COME ON!!! (j/k of course.) you should totally get in touch with me abd just find out how much of a great guy I am.
food is always on my mind. not just eating what I like, but eating whats right. (Cotton Candy is AWESOME!)
in life, we don't have as much time as we believe.
The Dodgers . Love them so, but have not been to a home game since the O'Malley's sold them to the evil fox corporation.
Will I see some other part of the world?
L-O-V-E...and how much I want it. (Bwaaahhhh, I know)
pienso de lo mejor Y lo malo en este mundo. me gusta las cosas bueno. es loco, lo se.
tambien de que voy hacer ESTE domingo, Y tu?
I'd say in search of inspiration, but I do that in only in days that end in "Y"
At a serious cuban/human rights event recently, Perez Hilton himself totally checked me out.
As much as I love to read, I really don't care to own a kindle or any sort of E-book reader. something about the tactile sensation of a book.
I'll always have a weak spot for ice cream, but am a TOTAL sucker for Coldstone Creamery...OMG YES!!!
as much as I am "MAS MACHO" I love Coldplay. I've also grown an appreciation for The Cure.
for the life of me, I'll never get polyamory. monogamy is not a bad thing.
I want to meet my wife on a blind date. my parents met that way and were happy for over 20 years. my mother was my dad's best friend.
My life is (almost entirely) an open book...all you have to do is ask.

Have Relationship Questions? Ask a Counselor for Answers ASAP
You cannot make him stay if he wants to leave no matter how much you beg and plead with him if his mind is made up to leave then he will do that. One thing you should have never done was go off the Antidepressant that seemed to help you to stay calmer and work harder on your marriage. If you tried numerous things to save your marriage and nothing seems to be working, then your spouse has given up and is ready to walk away from the marriage, even if that is the case, until the divorce papers are signed, you still have a chance to save your marriage. Try not to make the classic mistake of blaming your husband for all that is wrong in the marriage, even if he has made a big mistake, it takes two to make a marriage and it takes two to break a marriage. Sit down with your husband and make sure before he leaves that he understands that you are ready and committed to doing whatever it takes to save your marriage, he may not believe or share your positive outlook but it will give him food for thought.
What you should do is to try and look back over your marriage and find out where things went wrong, write down everything that bothered about your husbands actions. Like his going to chat rooms and commenting on picture and then being gone on weekends. It really sounds like he is going through a midlife crisis. Sometimes all it takes to get this mid life crisis is to have problems with marriage issues. He seems to be going through this especially since you said he goes into chat rooms pretending to be much younger than he really is. That is a classic sign of a midlife crisis wanting to feel younger and finding ways to hang out with younger people.
As we get older we focused on reflecting back on life. If we can look back on our lives and appreciate our accomplishments and our contributions, feel a sense of satisfaction and few regrets, then we will achieve a positive outcome of this crisis a sense of wholeness and completeness but your husband did not find that in his life. He may feel his life has no meaning, or his life has been wasted and therefore he has many regrets, he is experiencing the negative outcome of this crisis which is despair, regret, yearning to be young again, living life the way he wants to without having to answer to anyone. Midlife is a stage of life that has more to do with growth and possibilities rather than reaching a certain age and having a crisis but many men don't see midlife crisis as something positive and they often times look at all of the negatives about the crisis.
If you want to save your marriage then you need to take a timeout and try to figure out what went wrong. If you try to get your spouse back without doing so, you may find yourself doing things that will only make your situation worse. So give yourself and your spouse time to reflect on the relationship while you work out a plan to save your marriage. Try and find out from your husband the problems they have in the relationship. When your husband reveals the issues they have within the relationship do your best to correct them. Sure they will have some changing to do also. But focus on yourself first and make the necessary changes you need to make to fix the issues in your marriage first, also you may want to seek marriage counseling. They can help you both to better communicate and find ways to work on the marriage and also they can tell you if the marriage can be saved or if it's time to walk away.
If you aren't sure about marriage counseling but are willing to consider it, one thing you must keep in mind is that this can be a long process, you're not going to find answers right away it may take some time. You may not like for anyone to know your business, it can be extremely hard to open up to someone you barely even know but it's important to have that neutral opinion from someone on the outside looking in. If you want to save your marriage you could also try and do it on your own. It is very possible to do so if you have a plan and know the right way to go about doing it, there is the possibility that you will make things even worse then before, especially when you have no clue of what to do or say to get them back. If you are going to try and do it on your own then you need to find the root of your problem and then find ways in which you can fix the issues at hand.

This was taken last weekend as we hiked through the wilds of BC. Jake wasn't impressed. He didn't want a Mother's Day photo; he didn't want any photo. He wanted Hubs to hurry up and take the damn picture already, and for me to like, quit hugging him. The only reason he stood still and sort of smiled was that I used good old fashioned guilt ("but honey, it's Mother's Day?") and bribed him with a treat at Starbucks.
Later, Hubs drove past our favorite restaurant immediately after Jake and I had just consumed Starbucks drinks and a slice of raspberry lemon loaf. (aka "The Bribe")
Have you have tried Starbucks raspberry lemon loaf? We wait all year for it to make it's return in the spring. We then do a dance to the lemon loaf gods and bow to the pastry case when it makes it's appearance...
..no really. We love it. But I digress.
Anyhow, as I'm finishing up the last sip of my latte and feeling pleasantly full, Hubs suggests we go out for an early dinner. Jake and I are all...."NOW?! My God man, had you told us we would have skipped Starbucks, but now we're full!?We never go out for dinner and we've planned to go to this place for months, and now you just spring it on us, and I can't even eat another thing for hours because I'm full?"
Some of you are probably wondering how the hell we could be full from a tall latte and a slice of lemon loaf, but our family happens to be notoriously small eaters. Except when Jake is going through a growth spurt, and then he eats enough to feed a small village.
I seriously considered eating dinner anyway. But we thought the place was probably busy, so we made the painful decision to wait for another day.
So reality is that I'm getting to stretch Mother's Day out to TWO weekends, and this Sunday we'll be back out to try a great new restaurant.
You'd almost think I planned that, huh?

Mother Day Part Deux

For medium sized businesses contemplating making the move into the cloud, many questions rear their ugly heads and the answers at first glance may not seem entirely clear. However, a chat with Paul Goepfert from Pronto Software provides an excellent opportunity to answer the most pressing questions.
Big Data seems to be one of the latest buzzword to appear in the ITC dialog. I still wonder if most of us understand its meaning or impact.
It appears that various groups believe they have a handle on it the Big Data phenomenon. The interesting thing is that if you comb the internet you'll see the term being sponsored by companies such as NetApp, EMC and IBM as vendors that manage big or large amounts of data. I wonder if this means that these companies are positioning themselves to capitalise on this slice of the pie or are they still trying to ascertain what it really means in a commercial sense before it's more widely adopted by the market.
In short, it was not uneventful.
Let's face it the days of owning your own house with the white picket fence, all the furniture inside and a car, mortgage and debt free, are rapidly disappearing.
Likewise businesses that paid cash for most of their assets, from buildings to machinery, are becoming a distant memory.

Christian college to nix 'Crusader' mascot?
Some students believe name sends 'wrong message' to world
An evangelical Christian college in Idaho is considering dumping the nickname that has identified the school for decades – the Crusaders – because it is considered insensitive and inappropriate.
Northwest Nazarene University in Nampa, Idaho, has fielded Crusaders since at least the 1940s, but next month a less evocative mascot could emerge as the school's Board of Trustees meets to discuss the issue.
"In the very places where the Church of the Nazarene is reaching out through its colleges and universities [around the world], the term conjures up extremely negative images," opined the Idaho Statesman recently.
A task force last fall recommended 7-1 that the school, which has 1,500 in its student body, make the change.
"Other students were curious, 'Why would you have a Crusader mascot?' To them, it brought up killing and raping and pillaging. Why would you choose to have that represent you? A lot of people think the change is being made for political correctness, and I can understand why they think that," Nicole Bodenstab, who served on the task force, told the local paper.
"But if that's the first impression of people when they hear the Crusader mascot, then maybe we're sending the wrong message."
Proponents of the change note that when the "Crusader Choir" sang concerts in England, the group was asked to go by a different name.
Some students are resolute about keeping the Crusader mascot in place.
"I feel that the Crusaders is part of what we at NNU are, not in the sense of the Crusades, but that we can be crusaders for Christ," student body Vice President Shannon Bell said. "If we're going to take away the Crusaders, some people equate it to saying 'Happy Holidays versus Merry Christmas.' You can't make everyone happy, and we're taking a stand in our Christian faith."
Most in the athletic department favor leaving the Crusaders name in place. Making a change could cost upwards of $50,000, the Statesman reported.
The paper suggests Cavaliers or Knights as a permanent replacement for Crusaders.
Blogger Robert Duncan is an alumnus of NNU who opposes the change. In a tongue-in-cheek letter to university President Richard A. Hagood, Duncan wrote:
"I would like to suggest that NNU consider adopting a plant as its mascot, and especially one that imbues pure humbleness: the pensive and sublime 'Viola tricolor hortensis.'
"I can think of nothing that would be more fitting than to hear at future sporting events that loud and clear cheer: 'Let's go, Pansies!'"
There is precedent for Nazarene schools to cast off the Crusaders moniker. The mascot of Point Loma Nazarene University used to be Crusaders, but now its teams go by the Sea Lions.
Wheaton College, the evangelical school in Illinois, was the Crusaders for 70 years but dropped the name in 2000.

Secrets and Lies
Hollywood is a sketchy place. We never really know the truth - you know that right? Whether it's fake marriages, hidden homosexuality, or who sleeps with who to get a part, we never really know the entire story. It amazes me that things can stay a secret for so long, but I'm wondering if the craziness of Tom Cruise will finally expose him for at least one of the above.
Page Six was close to getting Rebecca De Mornay, an ex of Tom's, to spill some dirt on the superstar but it did not work. She did allude tot he fact that she has juicy gossip, but she left us hanging. She said, "Tom Cruise was a boyfriend of mine. We lived together. I can't comment on that stuff publicly 'cause it doesn't help anybody. I could tell you more if you weren't a journalist."
Someday something and someone will be exposed but until then, they are obviously good actors with lots of money to pay people off.

Obama of the Year
Joining the ranks of you, Kenneth Starr and the computer, Barack Obama has, not surprisingly, achieved the most prestigious superlative in history's magazine of choice: Time's "Person of the Year."
Go here for the complete Time.com coverage.
President-elect Barack Obama has been named the Person of the Year by Time magazine.
Time's Person of the Year is the person who most affected the news and our lives, for good or ill, and embodied what was important about the year, according to the magazine.
The runners-up were Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson, French President Nicolas Sarkozy, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin and film director Zhang Yimou, who designed the Beijing Olympics opening ceremony.

In September 2009 I blogged about the similarities between the Pittsburgh G20 framework for strong, stable and balanced global growth and the 2007 International Monetary Fund multilateral consultations, noting that when global leaders were wrong to say their commitments to get rid of imbalances were new or made significant progress.
Today it is genuinely déjà vu all over again as the "Seoul Action Plan" papers over long-standing divisions on currencies and trade imbalances. Leaders have been doing their best to say the summit was not a failure and that the engine of global economic cooperation is still firing on all cylinders.
What is the evidence? According to the G20 it is this new passage about indicative guidelines in the communique. Read more

The Labour party has set up a "rescue party" to save the government's delayed welfare reform amid concerns over IT problems and its management.
Shadow work and pensions secretary Liam Byrne told the Labour Party conference in Brighton last week: "When the welfare state was started, its big idea was to 'minimise disruption to earnings. Now our task is different. It's to 'maximise potential of earnings'. That why we need Universal Credit to work. So if the government won't act to save it, we will."
The universal credit system, which replace benefits including income support and housing benefit with a single payment, is due to be in place by 2017.
But its national rollout has been delayed due to...

A new Washington Post/ABC News Poll survey finds that the percentage of African-Americans who support gay marriage jumped almost 20 points after President Obama's announcement that he now backs same-sex marriage. One pastor doesn't believe the poll is representative of the nation's black Christians.
The Rev. Bill Owens, who leads the Coalition of African American Pastors, argues that opposition to same-sex marriage is steadfast and growing. "I know the poll is wrong," Owens told CP. "Very few black Christians I encounter support President's Obama's position on same-sex marriage. In fact, in a small poll conducted by our organization, 12 percent said they would not vote for President Obama again."
The new poll of 1,004 adults was released Wednesday and reveals that 59 percent of African-Americans say they back same-sex marriage, up from 41 percent in combined ABC/Post polls this spring and last summer. Also, 65 percent of African-Americans support Obama's new position. (Christian Post)

From Stengel Field to Redlands and now up to Modesto and seemingly everywhere in between, Brian Gadsby's funky delivery and phenomenal stuff has plagued the opposition throughout 2014.
Donning a different uniform, but tallying the same stellar results, Gadsby, a Crescenta Valley High incoming senior, twirled six no-hit innings in propelling the San Gabriel Valley All-Stars to a 7-0 win over Sacramento on Thursday afternoon in Modesto in the opening round of the Babe Ruth Pacific Southwest Regional.
"Brian threw a pretty good game today," deadpanned San Gabriel Valley Coach Phil Torres, who's also the head coach at Crescenta Valley. "He had it goin'.
"He threw really well, we played good defense."
Gadsby, backed by a defense that went without an error, needed just 63 pitches to navigate six no-hit innings, striking out eight and overcoming a pair of walks split over the first two innings, with one nullified by a double play.
Chris Butcher came on in the seventh and closed out the combined no-hitter.
"It helps when you've got a great defense behind you. I've got an all-star defense," said Gadsby, who's thrown 11 1/3 scoreless innings in two starts for SGV, beginning with a 5-0 win over Heartwell of Long Beach in the Southern California Regional on Saturday. "Coach Torres called a great game. Whatever he called, I threw and it worked."
It was an excellent start to the eight-team, double-elimination tournament, which sees SGV advance to the second round of the winner's bracket to face defending champion San Benito on Friday at 5 p.m.
"We drove six hours to play and win," Gadsby said. "We just want to keep moving on."
When SGV first arrived at Modesto Christian High, Gadsby said most of the hitters were excited at the small dimensions of the ballfield. But SGV, which was paced by two hits from Joe Torres (Crescenta Valley High), found out the park was hardly hitter-friendly.
"The wind is blowing in and the ball doesn't carry at all," Gadsby said.
Hence, San Gabriel Valley tallied three bunt singles and stole home twice, with Raul Camas (Glendale Community College) and Kevin Amezquita the culprits.
"You're gonna have to play small ball here," Phil Torres said.
SGV, which features an all-Crescenta Valley High coaching staff and other locals in Adrian Damla (Crescenta Valley High), Wes Walker (Crescenta Valley), Brett Klein (Crescenta Valley) and Cal Christiansen (Glendale Community College), didn't have to rely on much else besides pitching Thursday.
"Brian cut them up pretty good," Phil Torres said. "We really just made routine plays, which is all you need to do with this pitching staff."

The reason that Chet can't pinpoint the moment his mother sealed her lips is because he was a self-absorbed little rodent in those days.Read the rest
Not a cute freckled hellion. A miserable little shit who played hide-and-seek with the other miserable little shits in the bat-house, but played it violently, hide-and-seek-and-break-and-enter, hide-and-seek-and-smash-and-grab. The lot of them are amorphous, indistinguishable from each other in his memory, all that remains of all those clever little brats is the lingering impression of loud, boasting voices and sharp little teeth.
The Amazing Robotron was a fool in little Chet's eyes, an easy-to-bullshit, ineffectual lump whose company Chet had to endure for a mandatory hour every other day.
"Chet, you seem distr-acted to-day," The Amazing Robotron said in his artificial voice.
"Yah. You know. Worried about, uh, the future." Distracted by Debbie Carr's purse, filched while she sat in the sixty-eighth floor courtyard, talking with her stupid girlie friends. Debbie was the first girl from the gang to get tits, and now she didn't want to hang out with them anymore, and her purse was stashed underneath the base of a hollow planter outside The Amazing Robotron's apt, and maybe he could sneak it out under his shirt and find a place to dump it and sort through its contents after the session.
"What is it about the fu-ture that wo-rries you?" The Amazing Robotron was as unreadable as a pinball machine, something he resembled.

Hostess Gift Idea: DIY Cordials
Make these homemade cordials as a delicious treat and gift!
Make these homemade cordials as a delicious treat and gift!
Hosting a party can be a stressful job, which is why when I go to a party, I make sure to always bring a special gift for the host or hostess to thank them. Homemade cordials are the perfect way to thank someone for hosting a party and they are not as hard to make as you may think. Normally you would have to wait 2 weeks for all of the ingredients to infuse together in the bottle, but I've got a quick trick that will have your cordial ready to gift in 24 hours!
- Frozen Cranberries
- Fresh Kumquats
- Cinnamon Sticks
- Triple Sec
- Ketel Oranje Vodka
Find a sealable glass container to keep your cordial in.
Place your fruits and cinnamon sticks into the bottle then pour in your liquors using a 50:50 ratio.
Make sure the bottle is sealed shut. Run it through the dishwasher. This will save you 2 weeks waiting time for the ingredients to infuse together.
Let your cordial sit for a day. Label it like I did or dress it up even more for that extra creative touch.

The Weird Ways I Know It's Christmas
This year, I'm doing something different and spending Christmas with my new husband. While I'm super excited for his next great stuffed french toast concoction, it does mean that the days leading up to the big shebang feel a lot different. In years past, there would be the long drive to Dead Coal Mining Town, PA across large swaths of land where the only music on the radio was country. Today, nestled safely away in my own apartment, I have to keep reminding myself that it is Christmas Eve. The tree isn't doing the trick. All the strange cues are gone, and I'm missing … Uncles playing Christmas songs on beer bottles: Sometimes it made Grandma mad to have all six of them tooting out "Away in a Manger" via Budweiser, but I always thought it was hysterical. A few are serious musicians, so they'd debate how much liquid had to get poured out or drunk to create the perfect B flat. Always amazing.
Getting to watch cable television: When I was little, my family never had cable TV, just an antenna in the attic. Traveling across Pennsylvania to celebrate holidays and family was great, but I was also always super psyched to finally get to watch Nickelodeon, or the "Smurfs," or the 24 hours of "A Christmas Story." Hanging out in a motel room early in the morning wrapped in a blanket and honest-to-goodness children programming was it's own luxury.
Playing my cousin's Game Boy: Much like cable, I never had a video game system (although now I have a husband with an XBox 360). Post presents, Christmas was all about sweet-talking "Super Mario Brothers" away from Ray, so I could slip on the "Game Genie" and never, ever die. No matter how badly I played.
Long, interminable car rides stuffed into the back seat with my annoying little sister and enough luggage for a 5-year trek through the Himalayas: It's what family is all about.
Homemade marshmallows: While Thanksgiving also brings delicious pies and spiced turkey, no other day brings with it my grandmother's homemade marshmallows and cocoa. Served in clear depression glass that sparkles just slightly in the light; the glasses always held a little magic.
Stomping through the house pretending to be superheroes powered by 6-foot bubblegum: The best made-up game ever! Gum tastes way better than spinach, Popeye. Any of my cousins could have told you that.
What unique cues meant Christmas for you? We'd love to hear about your own quirky traditions!

More evidence that Google and Microsoft remain very interested in China has surfaced. Both companies have struck deals with MediaTek, a semiconductor company that specializes in wireless communications, and said deals should help them make headway in China's mobile market.
Dan Nystedt reported earlier today, "MediaTek has already developed a chipset and other hardware for Microsoft's Windows Mobile 6 operating system and has sent the package . . . to handset makers in China so they can start designing new Windows Mobile smartphones, a MediaTek representative said." Also, "MediaTek will release a similar hardware and software package with Google's Android mobile phone OS in the second half of this year . . ."
Microsoft's move may not qualify as much of a surprise. Over the past month, Steve Ballmer and Bill Gates have both made statements to the effect that they weren't troubled by recent hacking claims involving China. Microsoft's agreement with MediaTek was actually announced by a press release, too.
It's Google's involvement with MediaTek that is a little unexpected. Google more or less threatened to pull out of China, after all, and while it's normally much more communicative than Microsoft, the company hasn't yet put together any press releases or blog posts about this.
China's mobile market no doubt represents an opportunity for all three of these organizations to make a lot of money, in any event.

Umarex USA Introduces Modern Day Youth Pellet Rifle
FORT SMITH, ARKANSAS – (January 19, 2010) Today's young shooters are drawn to the new Ruger® Explorer air rifle. The sleek open-stock design is modern in appearance and the rifle is sized right for first-time shooters at 37-inches.
The single-shot, break barrel Explorer puts safety first by incorporating an anti-slam trigger barrel safety system—if the rifle's trigger is inadvertently pulled while the barrel is broken over for loading of a pellet, the safety system prevents the barrel from slamming shut.
Umarex USA's National Sales Manager, Neil Dickinson said, "The Ruger Explorer is not only desired by youth, but its safety feature and price have been popular among parents." The Explorer is priced at most retailers around 75 dollars.
The Ruger Explorer's spring pistol power plant accurately propels a single pellet at 495 feet per second and it weighs just shy of 4-1/2 lbs. Other features include a cocking effort of just 16-1/2 lbs, a length of pull of 12-inches, a black all-weather stock with ambidextrous thumbhole and vented cheekpiece, a blued receiver and fiber optic sights for quick target acquisition.
For additional information visit www.UmarexUSA.com.
Umarex was established in 1972 as "Uma Mayer Ussfeller GmbH" and served the market for tear gas and signal pistols followed by air rifles. After acquiring Reck Sportwaffen Fabrick Karl Arndt, they reorganized ultimately under Umarex. The company's Reck PK 800 enjoys worldwide acclaim and appears on the market as the perfect replica of the Walther PPK. Umarex has now become the largest maker of replicas by offering numerous German-made air guns, tear gas, signal pistols and now replica firearms. Umarex USA is North America's fastest growing airgun and replica tactical rimfire gun company. Umarex USA markets their airguns, airsoft, paintball and tactical rimfire products under famous brands such as Walther, RWS, Smith & Wesson, Browning, Heckler & Koch, Ruger, Beretta, Colt, Magnum Research and others.

Educators say permits for lay teachers won't work
Indiana school districts looking for new teachers say state permits for lay teachers don't meet the needs of the classroom.
The system approved in December by the State Board of Education allows anyone with a bachelor's degree and a 3.6 grade point average to pass a subject test and immediately qualify to teach that subject to middle and high school students in Indiana. The traditional path to the classroom requires training in child development, child psychology and how to run a classroom, along with classroom work before receiving a degree.
Valparaiso Community Schools Superintendent Mike Berta tells The Times that a person can be an expert in a subject, but that doesn't make them a teacher without skills like empathy and knowing how to guide students.

'Maleficent' Casts Powerful Spell Over Box Office
Angelina Jolie concocted quite the potion for theaters this weekend. Her Sleeping Beauty companion film Maleficent enchanted the box office well beyond expectations, taking in $70 million, according to studio estimates from Rentrak. The debut provided a storybook chapter for the film, which marked the largest debut of Jolie's career, eclipsing the $60.2 million bow for Kung Fu Panda in 2008.

Paterson, N. J. (Sep. 30)
Eve would have been acquitted and not expelled from the Garden of Eden if she had had a good criminal lawyer to defend her, according to Jacob L. Bernstein, local attorney, in a pamphlet just published here.
Mother Eve had a good reputation up to the commission of the alleged offense," Bernstein writes. "The applicable principles demand that the transgression … be condoned unreservedly. There was no crime, entrapment being shown."
Bernstein argues that the serpent was invested with proper authority in Genesis, 1, 24, which reads: "God made the beasts of the earth of its kind, and everything that creepeth upon the ground after its kind; and God saw that it was good."

The Big Burn by Timothy Egan
Although it might seem like establishing our national parks and wilderness areas was probably a bipartisan no brainer, it was not. In our modern world, there are people who are ambivalent about conservation but can you believe that long ago there were politicians and many wealthy people totally against conservation? I was astonished when I read The Big Burn by Timothy Egan which is about Teddy Roosevelt, his friend Gifford Pinchot, and their big dreams and achievements of preserving hundreds of millions of acres and establishing the U.S. Forest Service. They had to battle Congress every step of the way-Congress refused to provide funds for ranger stations or trails and sometimes even for rangers' salaries! Many rangers even had to provide their own tools and horses-some even would take up collections to help pay any new recruits. It took a monstrous wildfire destroying millions of acres of beautiful forests, frontier towns, and costing many lives before some politicians came to their senses and decided to fund the service. Still, Congress balked at paying rangers' medical bills from the fire or any back pay to the families who were left behind. One Congressman even stated publicly that if it weren't for the conservation movement and more logging companies were allowed to get into those forests and clear cut, there wouldn't have been any trees to fuel the big fire and so no lives would've been lost! I came away from this book with a lot of admiration for those early rangers and embarrassed at our Congress for their failure to provide basic support to these good men. Extremely interesting.
