Daphne Miller, M.D., travels around the world in search of native cuisines to address the Western ailments that plague her patients. This exciting culinary adventure reveals the health and well-being benefits of eating a less processed, more natural diet and how one can incorporate native foods into everyday living.Foreword by Andrew Weil, M.D.
©2008 Daphne Miller (P)2010 Inspriation Productions, LLC
"A wonderfully practical tome that explains how folks around the world benefit from the healing power of food." (Mehmet C. Oz, M.D., co-author of You: The Owner's Manual)
"In this bracingly hopeful and eminently practical book, Daphne Miller shows us how we can bring the wisdom of traditional diets to our own plates, in the interest of both our health and our pleasure. The Jungle Effect is a fascinating, useful and important book." (Michael Pollan, New York Times best-selling author of The Omnivore's Dilemma and In Defense of Food)
Well researched and well argued. Dr. Miller looks at traditional diets from the perspective of modern medicine, and modern nutrition and explains why modern American diets fall short of the mark when it comes to long-term health. If diet is something you would like to examine, I recommend this book. If you are interested in the slow food movement, read this book. If you are a Michael Pollan fan, read this book. If you think that it is more than coincidence that rates of certain diseases rise dramatically when people adopt a Western diet, read this book. If you struggle with poor health and low energy, read this book. If you are healthy, and have no interest in the topic of diet....then I guess you might not be interested...
Audiobooks Make Weed Wacking a Pleasure
"Like a Massengill Commercial"
I liked this audiobook... basically. The information was interesting. Nothing was particularly objectionable... Still, I get a lot more information and motivation from the works of Drs. Andrew Weil, and Joel Fuhrman. This seems to be a cookbook without recipes, and a travel book without snapshots.
Dr. Daphne Miller might get a patient who's fat, depressed, refuses to exercise, and won't eat vegetables who needs a miracle cure. So Dr. Daphne books the next flight out to some jungle and comes back in a few weeks with some custom cure-all recipes. Kinda like Fantasy Island.
OK, I lied... I do have an objection: Dr. Daphne never passes up the opportunity to use a cliché, and the narrator Heather Hathaway has this prom queen tone that's like fingernails on the chalkboard. Hathaway is probably fine reading other works, but this synergy is like a Massengill commercial. The surprising thing is that Dr. Daphne Miller read the epilogue herself, and although it sounded like she recorded it on her laptop in the bathroom, her voice was natural and pleasant.
Why is there no .pdf of the recipes?

SHEPHERDSVILLE — Through two budget meetings, councilmembers voiced some concerns over the apparent turnaround in the financial status of the city of Shepherdsville.
However, at Monday's council meeting, the concerns about adopting the proposed budget grew louder and the confidence that the budget would be approved seemed to wane.
As a result, the council will hold a third budget workshop at 6 p.m. on Wednesday, June 20, in hopes of having a document a majority of the members can pass on June 25.

Wow, this is freaking awesome. It's so great because it delivers its punchline so well. I honestly never thought of anything like this before. It makes a perfect joke! You can tell jokes because you're a comedian...what? On top of that, the artwork is great.
Every background is done wonderfully. The shading is all different. Of course, non Christians talk about how they hate Christianity all the time. Yeah, I guess there's exceptions. You have a great sense of humor. It makes you appreciate why we have webcomics.

Everything on today's menu is low-fat and high-fiber. Consume as much as you wish:
The challenge for author Paul Piraino will be capturing the excitement of the district's milestones within 450 pages — the purchase of the Gallegos Water System in 1940; the $4.95 million system improvements bond in 1964; the Aquifer Reclamation Program in 1974; the completion of the Hidden Valley tank in 1979; the first phase of the telemetry system in 1988. Talk about a page-turner.
If the district — which just raised its water rates for the 12th consecutive year — needs help with a title, here's one: "100 Years of Soaking Alameda County."
A partial list includes U.S. Reps. Jared Huffman (San Rafael), and Alan Lowenthal (Long Beach); state Sens. Darrell Steinberg (Sacramento), Ellen Corbett (San Leandro), Loni Hancock (Berkeley) and Lois Wolk (Davis); Assembly members Susan Bonilla (Concord) and Joan Buchanan (Alamo); state Superintendent of Public Education Tom Torlakson (Pittsburg); county Supervisors John Gioia (Richmond) and Federal Glover (Pittsburg); and a dozen current or former local city council members.
If you knew nothing before of DeSaulnier, you now know he has a lot of well-positioned friends.
A proposed soda tax designed to curtail obesity lost at the ballot box because it was wildly unpopular with voters. An eminent domain proposal to help homeowners escape underwater mortgages is in limbo because no other cities want to share liability for what may be an illegal plan.
Now comes the notion of a minimum-wage hike — jumping from the current $8 an hour to $11, $12.30 or $15 — that Councilwoman Jovanka Beckles describes as "an economic recovery strategy." If the biggest economic woe facing Richmond is unemployment (11.9 percent in August), what's the likelihood more jobs will be created if the cost of labor goes up?

I just wanted to ask you if you have found a place for grammar on the internet. I have witnessed a lack of it.
Also (and I know that this is strange) do you think grammar is important in writing (for example a letter) or is it only important in speech.
I am having difficulty working that out.

The Cobalt and Claret kept their hopes of a domestic treble alive with an important result that could hurt the 'Caps.
The visitors, with one eye on Tuesday's U.S. Open Cup final, reted a number of starters. Kyle Beckerman, Nick Rimando and Javier Morales were uninvolvedand the questionable Alvaro Saborio was similarly not risked.
Real Salt Lake found the game's lone goal early. Lovel Palmer was unchallenged charging forward from right back, and had the time to serve up an excellent cross to Devon Sandoval, who slipped away from Jay DeMerit to connect a powerful header and put the ball in the back of the net.
The Royals showed little sign of missing their rested key players, out-passing and out-possessing the home side. Deputy goalkeeper Jeff Attinella came up with several key stops, including a 14th-minute smothering of a Vancouver counterattack and a reflexive 36th-minute save to deny Russell Teibert.
RSL (15-10-6) now has the best record in the league, although level-on-points New York has a game in hand and Seattle, trailing by just a single point, has three matches to make up. Vancouver's postseason hopes take a big hit, as the Whitecaps (11-11-8) now trail Colorado and Los Angeles by four points.

Topic: Chemicals
Hi this is Val. I haven't posted many messages on the board but do read it a lot.
My husband Rand, 60 years old was diagnosed with CC in March of this year. He has been receiving chemo and the tumor, when the last CT scan was done, had shrunk. We haven't had a scan in several months but I have a feeling the cancer is growing.
The reason for the subject being chemicals is because I am just curious how many people out there with CC have worked with chemicals. Rand has been around airplanes his entire life and in the 70's worked as a mechanic at a airforce base. He worked with trichloroethylene, they used it to clean their tools and also would take off their shirts and dunk it in this stuff to clean the grease off and then put it back on while it was still wet, they even strayed it on the inside of the airplane to clean the grease and did not wear masks.
I don't know if this is what casued his cancer and don't want to go after any companies but would be interested in knowing if others have worked with chemicals or were around them.

Powerful storm kills one, wreaks havoc throughout region
PORTLAND, Ore. -- Strong winds and heavy rain pounded much of the Pacific Northwest on Monday, killing one man when a tree fell and causing several other close calls.
A Washington State Patrol trooper had stopped at a mudslide on Highway 101 near Naselle when the mudslide carried a tree into the trooper's car.
The patrol car burned, along with another car stopped nearby. The trooper was not hurt and the driver of the other car had a sore neck.
Trooper Russ Winger says it was the worst of several weather-related incidents on the Washington coast in Monday's wind and rain storm.
Heavy rain and howling winds raked the Northwest region on Monday, knocking out power, toppling trees and flooding rivers.
Firefighters said the man who died was an elk hunter. Nathan Christensen, 52, of Seattle died when a tree snapped and fell on his tent near Nehalem.
A Portland Police Bureau officer was seriously injured at about 11 a.m. on Hayden Island after a tree fell on him.
Sgt. Pete Simpson said the officer was participating in all-terrain vehicle training when the incident happened. He said it was likely a weather-related accident.
The officer underwent surgery. His condition was unknown late Monday.
About 24,000 Pacific Power customers lost power during the day's storm. Crews whittled that number down to about 6,000 customers in Clatsop, Lincoln and Coos counties by about 10 p.m. But officials warned that those customers remaining without power Monday night may not get power restored until Tuesday morning. Crews are working to restore power but officials said the weather and other adverse conditions have made it difficult.
In Clackamas County, a homeless woman and her dog were rescued by boat from a campsite surrounded by rising water.
A tree toppled onto Danielle Tudor's home in Southeast Portland, heavily damaging it.
The tree hit the roof, took out part of her deck and the metal overhang. The gash in the roof let in the drenching rain, soaking a kitchen wall, dripping onto a counter and then onto the floor. Construction crews worked to patch the holes.
"It looks like a bomb went off," she said about the damage.
Most of the damage was confined to the kitchen and dining room areas.
KATU Meteorologist Dave Salesky said the bulk of the storm system moved away from the coast Monday afternoon and moved east of the Portland area at around 5 p.m.
Coastal areas were especially hard-hit by the storm.
Water rose in the usual spots as two inches of rain soaked the Coast Range over the weekend. High winds howled along the beaches with gusts ranging from 43 to 89 mph, according to the National Weather Service. Lincoln City recorded a 85 mph gust Monday morning.
The wind even stripped away parts of the roof of an Izzy's restaurant in Newport.
At 11 a.m., ODOT officials in Clatsop County asked motorists to postpone or delay trips from Portland and the Willamette Valley to the coast because of falling trees and other hazardous conditions on Highway 26 and Highway 30.
Water was across several roadways near Seaside and elsewhere along Highway 101 through the north Oregon Coast. ODOT officials said two sections of Highway 101 in Clatsop County "remains either closed or restricted due to weather-related issues."
On the Astoria-Megler Bridge on Highway 101, morning high winds caused a semitrailer to overturn, forcing the closure of the bridge. Unsafe conditions prevented crews from clearing the truck, and the bridge remained closed until about 7 p.m.
The National Weather Service said many small streams and rivers could get pushed to flood stage as the storms continue.

- Flood tables for individual rivers in Oregon

The wet and windy weather is expected to last into the week with over an inch of rain forecast for valley locations and another two inches possible for coastal areas.
Portland city officials are asking residents to call 503-823-1700 if they see urban flooding and are also asking residents to clear curbside storm drains of debris so rainwater can drain away.

From 28 February Sylvie Zijlmans and Hewald Jongenelis are showing their new project 'Ten To One' at Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen. The installation is dominated by a wall-sized photograph of a large party in a field. Upon closer examination it becomes apparent that there are only ten guests, each of them depicted ten times in a different outfit. The outfits have been made by a hundred different Chinese tailors. In the magazine that accompanies the installation, the artists have put a face to these tailors, thus shedding new light on the global social and economic reality.
Zijlmans and Jongenelis invited ten friends to a meal on ten consecutive days in field in the Dutch countryside. Each day they shifted the friends, the tables and the food closer to the horizon. They then assembled the photographs of the ten meals into a single image of a large party. Each friend appears ten times in the photograph, each time in a different outfit. The colours are carefully balanced: the outfits in the background are more brightly coloured than those in the foreground so that they attract equal attention and because of the expanse of blue sky there are no blue outfits.
Zijlmans and Jongenelis commissioned a hundred different tailors in Beijing to make the outfits, not only because this made the outfits more affordable but also to show that the real world is at least ten times larger that that of the friends in the field. Each of us in the West is probably connected with thousands of Chinese, Thai, Filipino, Indonesian and Indian workers through the products with which we fill our lives. Zijlmans and Jongenelis travelled to Beijing to meet the tailors. Some of them operate according to the Western model and have large shops and warehouses, but the artists also found themselves in workshops no larger than their own bedrooms in which a whole family lives.
By being multiplied by ten, each person in the photograph has been rendered an anonymous figure. However, the magazine 'Ten To One' introduces us personally to the hundred tailors behind the outfits. The artists photographed a hundred shop fronts, workshops, outfits and tailors. Even the labels sewn into the outfits and the sales receipts are given a place in the magazine, which is part of the installation. The magazine with a text by the philosopher and writer Dirk van Weelden is being published in an edition of 1000 and is available from the museum shop.
The museum is giving contemporary art a prominent place in its new displays in the form of three artist's presentations that reflect upon the collection and the building. These visual statements are intensified through alternation with works from the permanent collection, establishing a dialogue that heightens the senses and encourages contemplation.
The exhibition and publication have been made possible by The Netherlands Foundation for Visual Arts, Design and Architecture (project grant) and H+F Patronage (exhibition and publication).
H+F Patronage, a foundation initiated at Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen by patron Han Nefkens for a period of five years, aims to stimulate contemporary art and artists at an international level and bring them to the public's attention. This is achieved by facilitating projects and exhibitions at Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen.

TAMPA, Fla.— Winn-Dixie Stores announced that beginning Tuesday, guests using the new Winn-Dixie Customer Reward Card (CRC) at any of the grocer's 95 stores in the Tampa/St. Petersburg, Tallahassee, Gainesville, Fla., Albany and Columbus, Ga. areas, can earn significant fuel discounts at participating Shell stations. The savings are part of Winn-Dixie's fuelperks! Rewards Program.
For every $50 in qualified purchases using the new CRC at Winn-Dixie, guests earn a 5 cents-per-gallon discount on fuel that is redeemable on a single fill-up, up to 20 gallons at any one of more than 300 participating area Shell stations. Additionally, the more customer spends, the more fuelperks! they receive. For example, if a customer spends $100, he or she will earn a 10 cent-per-gallon discount, if a customer spends $150, he or she earns a 15 cent-per-gallon discount, etc. Shoppers also don't have to spend $50 in one transaction. Purchases are automatically tracked on their receipt tape and each time the $50 threshold is met, another 5 cent-per-gallon discount on gas is earned.
"We encourage shoppers to visit their nearest Winn-Dixie location to sign up for their new Customer Reward Card and start saving on gas through our fuelperks! rewards program today," said Dan Lafever, Winn-Dixie's regional vice president. "We are thrilled to bring this new savings opportunity to our guests here in the Tampa Bay, North Central Florida and West Central Georgia areas and look forward to expanding it soon into Central Florida, especially with gas prices back on the rise."

Grand Central
July 11, 2005, By Tony Mejia, CBS SportsLine.com Staff Writer
As a result of last week's free-agency looting, the NBA has a new king in terms of division strength. Once the moratorium on league business ends July 22, the Central will become an absolute beast.
Larry Hughes instantly makes Cleveland a better team. (Getty Images)
Sure, the Southwest houses league champion San Antonio, 50-game winners Dallas and Houston and playoff participant Memphis, but all four fattened their win totals by going a combined 14-2 against New Orleans, which will remain locked in rebuilding mode next season.
Can you spot the weak link in the Central?
The easy answer would be the Bucks, who went 30-52 last season, but they've rapidly upgraded their roster. Within a two-week period, Milwaukee drafted Andrew Bogut, potentially a Top 10 center in the league from Day 1, agreed to re-sign coveted shooting guard Michael Redd and came to terms with Bobby Simmons, the top small forward available on the market.
GM Larry Harris got lucky that the Bucks snatched up the No. 1 pick, but fortune has had nothing to do with his other strong moves. He and his staff identified the players who would help the franchise win immediately and wasted no time setting things in motion. There have been reports the five-year, $47 million dollar deal that Simmons accepted was originally offered to Portland's Shareef Abdur-Rahim, the top power forward available.
"This originally started out as talks in case Michael left, but as we talked more and more, it started to make sense for Bobby even if Michael stayed," Simmons' agent, Mark Bartelstein, told the Associated Press. "So, we just kept talking, and they had enough cap room. It worked out well for both."
How well remains to be seen, but the move likely pushes Desmond Mason back to a sixth-man role, strengthening Milwaukee's bench. If T.J. Ford can come back healthy and form a solid point guard tandem with the promising Maurice Williams, the Bucks promise to not only be good, but good for a long time. The nucleus of the team is young and emerging and should grow collectively under new coach Terry Stotts. They have penetraters, strong mid-range shooters on the wings and a capable young 7-footer. On paper, they sound pretty good, and certainly not worthy of a last-place finish.
How about Cleveland? The Cavs finished fourth in the division last season, collapsing down the stretch and missing the playoffs after losing a tiebreaker with New Jersey.
Try again.
Under new coach Mike Brown, they'll be better defensively, especially after the addition of reigning steals king Larry Hughes.
Hughes will also make them better on offense, giving the Cavs another ball-handler who can create his own shot. LeBron James is only going to be a stronger force in year No. 3, especially with teams unable to key solely on him. If they can hang on to Zydrunas Ilgauskas as well, Cleveland has a "Big Three" on par with any in the league.
There are nice role players around them as well, rebounders Drew Gooden and Anderson Varejao, solid perimeter defender Eric Snow (a capable defender himself) and a potential breakout wing in Sasha Pavlovic. On paper, they sound pretty good, and they certainly are expected to make the playoffs.
Indiana, which finished third last year despite throwing together one makeshift lineup after another, gets Ron Artest back, will have Jermaine O'Neal playing with two healthy shoulders and Jamaal Tinsley running on two healthy feet. Considering how disciplined the Pacers are under Rick Carlisle, they have to be considered a championship contender if all their pieces are back in place. Reggie Miller will be missed, but Stephen Jackson and top pick Danny Granger should find ways to make up for his production. If healthy, they should easily top the 50-victory mark considering they managed to piece together 44 last year.
Chicago comes off its breakout season, and after bringing back Scott Skiles and likely re-signing Tyson Chandler and Eddy Curry, they should have their young base back in place. Don't forget, Ben Gordon, Andres Nocioni and Luol Deng were all rookies last year, while Kirk Hinrich played All-Star-caliber ball during the latter part of his second season. Bulls fans have every reason in the world to be excited.
Even if they lose Larry Brown as coach, Detroit is obviously not the weak link, returning the bulk of a squad that was a poor fourth quarter away from repeating as league champion.
Only the fact these teams will have to beat up on one another will keep all five teams from making next year's playoffs, but at this point, it's hard to identify who will wind up staying home.
Consider that even though Milwaukee was clearly the worst team in the division last year, they still finished 8-8 against Central competition. The Pacers actually had the best mark against their divisional brethren, finishing 9-7. These teams are used to competing hard against one another, and the stakes have just gotten higher.

The capital of Western Australia and one of the country's most vibrant and energetic cities, Perth, is a juxtaposition of sparkling beaches, green parks, gold mining heritage, multicultural suburbs and vibrant restaurants and cafés. Book a flight to Perth with Qatar Airways to discover a blissful lifestyle, and a chance to encounter and discover the real Australia.
Though the area has been inhabited for many thousands of years, modern Perth began as a British settlement in the early 19th century. You'll find many of the historic attractions in the Central Business District during your trip to Perth, including Australia's oldest mint, The Perth Mint, still in operation, The Western Australian Museum and Art Gallery of Western Australia.
Archaeological evidence from Perth suggest that the Noongar people have lived in the area for at least 45,000 years. Most of the history and artefacts can be seen in the museum.
The Perth Town Hall is located on bustling Barrack Street. It was built by exiled convicts almost 150 years ago for the citizens of Perth. To trace the history of Perth back to where it started, visit the restored tower mill, an historic landmark located along the Swan River, first built in 1835.
Other Perth highlights include a visit to the expansive Kings Park and Botanic Gardens, the Swan Bell Tower located on the banks of the Swan River and Perth Zoo. The city's beaches are also popular drawcardss in their own right, with Cottlesloe Beach, and Scarborough Beach being some of the most popular. Rottnest Island is filled with beautiful beaches and Quokkas, the native animal of the island.
Perth has an abundance of excellent beaches; there are plenty of opportunities for swimming, sunbathing and watersports. Cycling the city's bike paths is also a highlight for some who make the trip to Perth, and is a great way to see more of the city in a short time. Residents and visitors can spend many hours in Perth's botanic gardens and parks, which include Lake Monger and Bold Park.
For a day trip from Perth, visit Western Australia's oldest national park, John Forrest National Park. The park is home to a variety of plant communities, two waterfalls and wildlife including kangaroos.
Perth has plenty of high-quality restaurants where you can indulge in local and international cuisine, whatever your budget. Locally caught seafood and fresh regional produce can be found in the port city of Fremantle.
Just 40 minutes from Perth, Mundaring is a popular tourist attraction. The area is filled with locally owned café shops, restaurants and art galleries. It is also home to the Mundaring Weir Dam. The area is perfect for walking and cycling along the Bibbulmun Track and Munda Biddi Trail. A perfect spot for barbeques and picnics.
Travel to Perth and you'll find a range of shopping malls and outlets, selling everything from Aboriginal crafts (try the Aboriginal Art & Craft Gallery) and didgeridoos to fashion designer clothing stores on King Street.
The Hay street mall is home to many national and international retailers. Perth's outlet store, Harbour Town, is located in West Perth. Access to this mall is free along the local CAT (Central Area Transit) bus network. Look for the black cat on the buses.

SOCIAL psychiatry professor Rob Poole believes Adrian Kowalik shouldn't have been allowed to leave Great Western Hospital just hours before his death, an inquest heard.
Prof Poole was called to Salisbury Coroners' Court for the second day of the hearing looking into the death of Mr Kowalik, 30, on June 19, last year.
Mr Kowalik died at around 5pm, after being hit by a train near Swindon Station.
He'd been at GWH since June 17 after he caused a 4cm wound to his left wrist when his wife Joanna said the couple needed to have a break.
The injury Mr Kowalik suffered was considered superficial but he was kept at the hospital as staff were concerned for his mental wellbeing with him threatening to commit suicide.
Between June 18 and 19 Mr Kowalik, originally from Poland, underwent three assessments before being discharged as there were no legal grounds to detain him.
It was recommended that he attended Applewood ward, at Sandalwood Court, for a three day assessment but he was under no obligation to go. He left GWH at 3pm.
"Given the information available at the time, I would have recommended detainment and I can say that with some certainty as I have done that in the recent past," said Prof Poole, who works at Bangor University.
"I'd have needed more time to understand and it might have changed everything."
Mr Kowalik, who'd twice previously self-harmed, suffered abuse as a child from his father but didn't want to discuss it at GWH.
Prof Poole said that mental health staff should have contacted his mother for more details to help them reach their conclusion and decide whether Mr Kowalik had a mental disorder, while also seeking a consultant psychiatrist's guidance.
Dr Sammad Hashmi, a consultant psychiatrist for Avon and Wiltshire Mental Health Trust, who oversees Swindon's services, led a review following Mr Kowalik's death.
He said: "In this situation the risk was identified and people knew as the assessment went on that a comprehensive assessment was needed. I think after this they did feel there was neither evidence of a disorder or illness and let him go."
The inquest, overseen by David Ridley, Swindon and Wiltshire coroner, heard the Kowaliks had married in 2005 and moved to Union Street, in Old Town, in 2007 with their two children.
After suffering a severe back injury, Mr Kowalik, gave up work in 2011. He would occasionally get abusive towards his wife after drinking alcohol.
The inquest continues.

Whats up with all of this playing time for Pendy?
Yes, take Miles out Frank! Terrible that guy!
What the hell?? Johnson?
Yes, Frank, GREAT offense we have!
Augustin can pass
George's handles look just as out of control.
I'm liking DJ's dishing ability!
I actually think his handles look better, his turnovers haven't been because of them, they've been errant passes. George has been able to get where he wants with the dribble for the most part.
It's night and day when DJ is in. You obviously can tell the difference with Ahern (not a knock on the guy, just stating the obvious)
Yeah, I like Augustin's game alot, not a good defender, but you can tell he makes a difference on the offensive end.
Gives us a passing dimension, a real point guard vision we haven't had for quite some time. Right now he just fed up Hibbert with a nice nifty pass.
This coming from a DC supporter, mind you
George started rough, but has looked good in the 2nd quarter.
nice head fake and step in bank by PG
How does Augustin look??? Is he living up to all the hype???
pretty sure the Indiana Criminal Justice Institute wouldn't have dreamed of sponsoring the Pacers a few years ago
Augustin looks excellent on the offensive end. He took 1 ill-advised shot but otherwise distributed the ball very well and had 3 assists to Paul George alone.
Nobody has look good tonight.

Overall, the 2013 golf season was considered a success by Elizabeth coach Dave Strang and his Cardinals. They just wish it could have ended on a higher note.
Elizabeth won the Colorado Seven League title. But when it came to state, only two team members were able to qualify for the tournament held Sept. 30 and Oct. 1 at the Hiwan Golf Club in Evergreen.
Thus, leading the way for Elizabeth were Ross Galmon and Sean Herr. Galmon shot 92 on his first round then followed with an 84 for a 176 total to finish in 57th in the 84-player field. Herr shot 97 on the first round and 99 on the second for a 196.
Galmon, who will head for the University of Colorado in Colorado Springs in the Fall, capped his high school career going out as the league champion.
"It certainly was a good season and I enjoyed it," Galmon said. "State was fun, but I just wish we all could have been there as a team. The Evergreen course was tough, especially when it came to putting. We had a couple of practice rounds and felt we could do well, but it just didn't turn out that way.
"League was really good for us. I was the conference champion and all four of us were all-league. That's good. Again, I just wish we all could have been at state. My long game was good, but putting was just crazy. I'm not going to play golf on the college team."
Herr felt confident heading into state, but his results were not what he had hoped.
"I felt I was prepared but I didn't perform well," said Herr, a junior. "I had more strokes putting than I did on the fairways. It's a tough course and it certainly tested your abilities as a golfer. We had a couple of practice rounds. It was a course that tests your abilities.'
Indeed, it was a tough go for Herr. He started on the 10th hole on day two and shot a heart breaking 10 strokes on the hole to open the day.
"You have to show up on a course like this and I just wasn't too ready to play," Herr said. "We won all our league meets this season and I thought our whole team would make it to state. We gave it our best all season, we were in the right mind set, we worked together and we did what needed to be done. We thought we would go to state as a team, but it didn't work out. It felt good to win league, I just wish we could have carried our season to a much better conclusion."
While the regular season was solid for Elizabeth, Strang had also hoped for a better finish.
"It was a great season winning the league," Strang said. "We almost had the team qualify for state, but Dave Walstrom and Adam Eveleth just missed for us. The kids looked forward to state with great anticipation, but they did struggle. It was a tough course, but one that was in great shape. Yet, it was tough on everyone, not just us. Being in the mountain, the course was up and down, too.
"Sean had a tough second day, getting a 10 on his first hole," Strang continued. "But he showed a lot of character and continued to play hard after that. It was good competition overall for all the golfers. We're looking forward to next season. We have a fine junior varsity and I think we have a fine outlook for next year."
Coronado's Isaac Peterlilie won medalist honors with a score of 144. He shot a 70 on opening day then followed with a 74 on his second round. That first round proved to be the winner as runner-up Wilson Belk of Cheyenne Mountain carded a first round 71 then also followed with a 74.
The bronze medal was won by Pueblo West's Glen Workman with a 147. He had been tied with Petersilie after the first round, but zoomed to a 77 over his second round.
Valor Christian, out of Highlands Ranch, came through to win the team championship with a score of 454. Silver Creek finished in second with a score of 456, followed by Cheyenne Mountain with 463.
Jake Staiano led Valor Christian with his fourth-place finish, carding a 148. Teammates Ross McDonald and Josh Seiple finished seventh and ninth, respectively. McDonald finished with a score of 152, Seiple, 154. The fourth member of the team, Cody Welch, tied for 13th in the individual standings with a 156.

I purchased a complete CarPC from Mocoso. The unit is an Atom330 powered by a M2ATX. I have a moderate sound system using a couple of amplifiers. I was also using the amp on lead to trigger a relay that controls a couple of fans to cool a compartment my carpc and amps are in. Well the amp out lead wouldn't ever trigger any of those components. When I started trying to troubleshoot I measured the voltage of that wire. The wire had 12v when not connected to anything, but dropped to 3-5v with a load on it (connected to the multiple components). I tried connecting to just one amp (thinking maybe the current draw was just too much, it not even a light flicker or any indication that it was even trying. I did a lot of reading on these forums and read that the amp out lead on these psu were notoriously faulty. I contacted MOCOSO, who was great and offered to send me a replacement unit. Once it arrived, I quickly swapped it out and got everythign connected with the exact same results......I feel I have tried everything. I even changed the input wire from about 12 gauge to an 8 gauge hot wire feeding the PSU because I thought maybe the input voltage wasn't enough to do the internal switching and power the external components...but that had no effect. Any ideas or suggestions? It's not the end of the world, but when connected direct to my ignition, I get the notorious "Pop" out of my speakers which is really annoying!!

A PUB landlord has welcomed measures to prevent frequent flooding of the A38 near Wellington.
Somerset County Council pledged this week to clear dead trees and dredge streams near the Blackbird Bends, which are often under water.
Phil Anderson, landlord of the Blackbird Inn, said: "Apart from the delays to traffic while the work is being carried out it can only be a good thing.
"People know it floods here and avoid it when it's been raining heavily, so if they can stop that it will be a benefit to us." Trade has been hit big time in the past when the road has been closed. If the road is closed there is no business."
The council will remove silt, re-align the streams and lower rocks to funnel water out towards the River Tone.
Work started on Monday and highways teams removed dead and dying trees from the site to allow machinery to move in.
The work is expected to take two weeks and the A38 will remain open, although temporary traffic lights might be needed during some stages.
Cabinet member Harvey Siggs said: "This is one of Taunton Deane's busiest roads and a diversion route for the M5 so it is important to keep traffic moving freely here.
"Our aim is to protect the road and bridge at Blackbird Bends, which have been vulnerable to flooding during times of heavy rainfall.
"The streams and drains will be able to handle much more water after we've finished and will help to reduce the risk of flooding."

Alabama will be without two playmakers for the rest of the season after they suffered knee injuries Saturday against Ole Miss.
Receiver DeAndrew White and running back Dee Hart had surgery, Alabama coach Nick Saban announced Monday.
White had emerged as a big-play receiver for Tide quarterback AJ McCarron. White caught a 9-yard pass from McCarron on Alabama's third play of its opening series Saturday night but was injured later in the quarter.
The sophomore had eight catches for 105 yards and two touchdowns this season. He showed flashes of his quick-strike potential last season with 14 receptions for 151 yards and two scores.
"He was really playing well for us on special teams and really playing his position well offensively," Saban said of White after Saturday's game.
Hart injured his knee in the fourth quarter on a punt return. He missed all of last season with a knee injury and spent time returning punts and at running back this season for the Tide.
Hart returned four punts this season for 50 yards and was fourth on the team in rushing with 88 yards on 21 carries.
The top-ranked Crimson Tide beat Ole Miss on Saturday, 33-14, and is off this week before playing back-to-back road games at Missouri (Oct. 13) and at Tennessee (Oct. 20).

Cognitive Neuroscience Laboratory
In the Cognitive Neuroscience Lab we use the tools of cognitive psychology, cognitive neuropsychology, and functional neuroimaging (fMRI, EEG/ERP) to investigate the role that the body plays in directing our perception, attention, recognition, and emotional processing. In addition to studying the behavior and brain function of typical individuals, we collaborate with neurologists and neuropsychologists to study people with brain-damage and atypical development.Students are encouraged not only to contribute to on-going studies but to develop their own original experiments. For further information, contact Professor Reed.
Cultural Influences on Mental Health Center
This center seeks to answer two primary questions.How does culture affect mental health?And, how do we improve the treatment of mental illness for those from diverse backgrounds? Students conduct research in areas such as immigration's impact on family relationships, adaptation of mental health services for those from different backgrounds, cultural competence and mental health outcomes, and ethnic differences in dating preferences. For further information, contact Professor Hwang.
Psychology Lab: Cultural Influences on Mental Health Center
There's no denying the fact that the United States is one of the most diverse countries in the world. At the Cultural Influences on Mental Health Center, supervised by Wei-Chin Hwang, Ph.D., Associate Professor of Psychology, students work on high quality and cutting edge research examining how culture influences various aspects of mental health. Current projects include studying how mindfulness and meditation improve mental well-being, examining issues of acculturation and the acculturation gap, and researching how to culturally adapt and modify psychotherapy and mental health services to be more effective and accessible to diverse populations.
Decision Neuroscience Laboratory
Research in this lab examines how valuation and decision-making emerge at the neural level, and how these cognitive processes interact during choice. Using neuroscience techniques such as event-related potentials (ERP), students will contribute to research on how decision-making unfolds over time, and across domains including social and economic choice. For further information, contact Professor Harris.

Memory and Aging Laboratory
Research in this lab examines memory in healthy aging, specifically investigating older adults' prior knowledge and its influence on other aspects of memory. More broadly, we are interested in how knowledge works in memory, not only in older adults, but also in our memories for the stories of our lives (autobiographical memory), in our shared culturally-based experiences (collective memory), and in educational contexts. Students can participate in all aspects of conducting research including developing experiment ideas, recruiting participants, collecting data and interacting with participants, analyzing data, and presenting findings at professional conferences. For further information, please contact Professor Umanath.
Moral Emotions and Trust Lab
Research in the MEAT Lab examines how emotions and non-conscious processes influence judgments of equity, justice, and harm as well as the tendency to engage in antisocial or prosocial behavior. Examples of current research include 1) the influence of emotional states such as compassion gratitude and awe on social judgment, and 2) understanding the processes by which institutions lose and regain public trust after moral transgressions. For further information, contact Professor Valdesolo.
Behind the Scenes: CMC's Moral Emotions and Trust (MEAT)Lab
What effect does a person's emotional state have on moral behavior or judgment and decisions? Student research assistants at the MEATLab are finding out how relevant this under-studied field can be in such areas as politics and religion. The College's Moral Emotions and Trust Lab is led by Assistant Professor of Psychology Piercarlo Valdesolo. Half a dozen students work closely with Valdesolo weekly, coming up with ideas for cutting-edge research projects, running studies, analyzing results, and presenting their findings. "We get to engage every step of the way and put our work out there," says RA Isabela Osthoff-Magalhaes '14. On the flip side, says Valdesolo, "We (faculty) get to interact with these very smart and talented students without whom we wouldn't be able to do our research."

American Airlines and US Airways on Thursday announced that their boards of directors approved an $11 billion merger deal, creating the world's largest airline.
The new company will be based in Dallas-Fort Worth and operate under the name American Airlines.
Officials from both airlines said the deal will allow American to emerge from bankruptcy as a larger, stronger company.
The combined airline will offer more than 6,700 daily flights to 336 destinations in 56 countries. The airline is expected to maintain all hubs currently served by American Airlines and US Airways, resulting in more travel options for customers, the companies said.
John Wayne Airport officials said they have had no talks with the airlines about what, if any, changes in service might be planned in Orange County, said airport spokeswoman Jenny Wedge.
American offers 12 daily departures from Orange County to Dallas-Fort Worth and Chicago's O'Hare International Airport.
US Airways serves Phoenix with six daily departures from John Wayne. That is a legacy service that used to be flown by America West Airlines before it merged with US Airways in 2005.
"The combination of American and US Airways brings together two highly complementary networks with access to the best destinations around the globe and gives us a strong platform to provide our customers the most connected, comfortable travel experience available," said Tom Horton, chairman and chief executive of American Airline, who will become chairman of the new company.
Doug Parker, chairman and chief executive of US Airways, said the merger would give the combined airline the scale, breadth and capabilities to better compete in the global market.
"Our combined network will provide a significantly more attractive offering to customers, ensuring that we are always able to take them where they want to travel, when they want to go," said Parker, who will become chief executive of the new company.

2007 Mmh - Loud Infrequent Noise
We purchased a Certified 2007 MMH with 19,000 miles. Occasionally and unpredictably there is a very loud noise that lasts a second or two that seems to becoming from the rear of the vehicle. It sounds somewhat like you would expect if a tire was rubbing against the wheel well. It seems to happen more frequently if the vehicle has sat idle for several days. The noise is very loud and sounds like something that could be causing damage. Has anyone else experienced anything along this line? I'm reluctant to take it in to the dealer because it is unlikely we could duplicate the situation.

The vintage Hollywood finger wave (think The Great Gatsby) is "hotter" than ever. Joi Rooks, educator, sent us this amazing video breaking down an easy creation in 6 easy steps. Check it out:
Step 1: Prep hair with KMS California HotFlex Creme and Hot Flex Spray.
Step 2: Clip hair around eye or fringe level to keep shape uniform.
Step 3: Take a veritcal section (around one inch) below the clip and shape the hair into an "S" wave.
Step 4: Press a flat iron along the S, pressing the hair into the shape. Press and hold for a couple of seconds until "set".
Step 5: Clip into place to secure. Continue around the head in veritical sections.
Step 6: Once cooled, remove the clips and brush into desired shape. Place KMS California AnitHumidity Seal onto a brush and brush over the surface to remove strays and place the shape.

Prospects Will Break Your Heart
Checking in On: Shortstops, Part 2
In part one of the series, we checked in on the pure shortstops in the minors, the players who stand above the rest with the leather and project to stay at position all the way up the chain. The criterion for inclusion in this particular series was a placement on the Baseball Prospectus 101, a team top 10 list, or a mention as an "On the Rise" candidate for the individual team prospect ranking series, so the pool of talent is by no means the entire ocean. By breaking down these featured prospects, the goal is to highlight the extreme depth at the position in the minors, while also shedding some light on the early season developments of the talent in question.
Part 2 will focus on the players housed in the tier below the pure leather wizards in the minors, but ones who still have the quality to stick around at the position despite some whispers to the contrary. It needs to be remembered just how difficult it is to profile as a shortstop at the highest level, as only a select few can stand above the crowded field of highly skilled individuals and wear the badge of the position. The "Pure Enough" tier features prospects known more for their offensive potential than their defensive heroics, but we shouldn't be too quick to dismiss their skill at the position just because the profile lacks the cloak of the magus. These combo prospects have some of the highest ceilings in the minors, with impact potential bats and the actions and arms to make plays at a premium position on the diamond.

I'm a little surprised that some of the non-top 101 guys aren't categorised as pure shortstops. I guess I'd seen guys like Vinicio and Marrero as significantly better defenders than the elite prospects that you mentioned. Is there a cut-off on a potential glove grade to be pure (I was kind of surprised you were talking about guys who might have a 6 glove as only being pure enough), or is it more to do with grace and fluidity and things like that?
Apr 18, 2013 03:20 AM
I wouldn't classify guys like Vinicio and Marrero as significantly better than the shortstops featured in part 1. Both have chops and perhaps a case, but the line had to be drawn somewhere. Marrero is a solid-avg to plus type, but those featured in part 1 had even higher projections than that. The grace in which the position is played will always be a factor, as fluid, athletic movements tease the eye more than movements that lack fluidity. Subjective stimulation. Unfortunately, some of the shortstops that make all the fundamental plays without the flash aren't viewed in the same manner as shortstops that make the abnormal plays even if they happen to scuff a few of the routine ones.

He is Venezuelan. Sent that fix into editing.
Apr 18, 2013 07:01 AM
That makes complete sense, but both MiLB.com and BBRef list Orlando as a Dominican, from someplace called Anaco.

What are your thoughts on the Cardinals Breyvil Valera?
Apr 18, 2013 07:14 AM
Can't remember if he was 'on the rise' or not, but know he didn't crack the M's top ten, but, well, Brad Miller?
Apr 18, 2013 08:00 AM
He didn't make the cut on the team list because I was infatuated with teenaged pitchers, but I can still profile him. He was included on the Mariners 'Factors on the Farm" section. I was able to watch Miller a lot this spring, and I like him more than Franklin. Neither prospect is a classic shortstop, but I think Miller will end up as the better all-around player, and I'll profile him in Part 3.

Tim Beckham? (Part 6 - the island of misfit middle infield prospects?)

I am really struggling to understand the distinction between pure shortstops and pure-enough shortstops. Some guys who were deemed "pure" shortstops when they were coming up--Yuniesky Betancourt comes to mind--turn out to stink, whereas other guys who lack one or more of the tools of "pure" shortstops--I'm thinking of Hanley Ramirez or Derek Jeter--are able to stick at the position at the MLB level due to the force of their will, bat or reputations. Despite his shortcomings in the field, I would still rather have Hanley Ramirez than Jose Iglesias as my team's starting SS, and I imagine all 30 teams feel the same way.
Apr 18, 2013 10:03 AM
As I tried to explain in the opening paragraphs, some shortstops are no-doubt shortstops all the way up the chain, some will encourage whispers of a future positional move, and some are definitely going to have to move off the position at some point at the highest level. Derek Jeter is a very good example of a pure shortstop, as he was projected to stay at the position from amateur status through the professional ranks, thanks to his elite instincts and well above-average glove.
Apr 18, 2013 10:15 AM
No such thing as a sure-fire SS. You only have to look as far as last year. Profar is already moving to 2B and Machado went straight to 3B. People can say that, "he has the tools..." but that, long with 99 cents will get you a sausage biscuit before 10:30 at McDonalds. As far as I am concerned, there are guys like Wilmer Flores - no chance in hell to stick at SS and the rest. As with every other job opportunity in the world, it is a combination of circumstance and ability. I have seen defensive metrics which tell a story of Derek Jeter being the worst SS of all time but he will retire as a Hall of Famer at the position.
Apr 19, 2013 09:20 AM
Does Arismendy Alcantara fit into part 3, or is he to much of a tweener with both the bat and glove?

"Presence Factor"
Apr 18, 2013 11:07 AM
David Laurila
Of the shortstops covered in these articles, is is safe to say Bogaerts has most closed the gap between his offense and defense? Whether he could remain at the position was once a big question, and now he's looking very much like a shortstop -- and scuffling somewhat [albeit in a small sample size] with the bat.
Apr 18, 2013 11:29 AM
I think so. From those polled for this series, the defensive reviews on Bogaerts were still mixed, but I think he's improved and is better (and has a better chance to stick around) than originally thought. I don't think he's ever going to be a premium defender, but I think he can play the position for a few years at the major league level. I would classify him as a "less-than-pure" shortstop, but that doesn't mean he can't pull it off.
Apr 18, 2013 11:37 AM
I have a big man crush on Story, but the K's seem to be eating him alive right now. Hoping he does turn it around, its still early.
Apr 18, 2013 19:18 PM
Has the ship sailed completely on Dee Gordon? He seems to be developing some patience to go along with his speed driven BABIP.
Apr 19, 2013 04:55 AM
He's not prospect eligible, so he wasn't included in the rankings. Always had the speed and the glove, but the strength at the plate just hasn't been there. Not sure it shows up. He's probably looking at a utility future, which is a shame because he has very loud tools on defense and on-base.

I have been able to see correa 6 times this season due to midwest league scheduling quirks sending him to kane county early and often. If i saw him at a bar i would push aside any woman in the way and stammer a sheepish hello i like his "presence" so much. He is so outsanding hedominates warm up tosses before the game. He towers over his teammates and you cant help be drawn to his presence. First game i saw him he hit a towering homer and vertically leaped 30 inches easy to snow cone a line drive. I watched javy baez at least a dozen times and correa and in a small sample he makes baez look like a piker. I still think baez has more impact potential than castro so my Correa crush runs deep.

The High Court will rule on an unprecedented legal challenge over GCSE exam grades.
An alliance of hundreds of pupils and schools and scores of local councils, as well as teaching unions, are seeking judicial review.
They are accusing the AQA and Edexcel exam boards of unfairly pushing up the grade boundaries for English last summer in what amounted to "illegitimate grade manipulation" and "a statistical fix" involving exams regulator Ofqual. Both the boards and Ofqual deny acting unfairly or unlawfully.
Lord Justice Elias and Mrs Justice Sharp will give their judgment at the High Court in London. They were told at a hearing in December that an estimated 10,000 pupils who sat exams in June last year missed out on a C grade - the minimum grade normally needed to go into further education.
Clive Sheldon QC, appearing for the alliance, said the lower grades were not the fault of the students, who had "worked well and hard". He said the evidence of unfairness was overwhelming.
Ofqual had given an instruction to avoid "grade inflation". Bodies awarding grades were required to meet tolerances based on statistical predictions derived from students' performances in Key Stage 2 examinations five years previously.
The predictions, which were used as a "straitjacket" rather than as a guide, were that too many students were going to get a C grade or better in GCSE English, said Mr Sheldon. A decision was taken to push up grade boundaries for the exams marked in June to bring down the numbers of good grades for the year as a whole.
Mr Sheldon said that had resulted in students being unjustifiably "clobbered" to meet the Ofqual requirement of no apparent grade inflation. He argued the "gross manipulation" that took place amounted to "conspicuous unfairness and an abuse of power".
Schools, teachers and students had reasonably expected that those sitting the June examinations would be treated consistently with students who had earlier taken papers and submitted controlled assessments, argued Mr Sheldon.
He said the June students should be put in the position they would have been in had the grade boundaries in January been applied to them.

I suggest a desk that has the ability to go up and down that'll give you the option to stand or sit. Sitting hours on end is just not good for us. These desks are crazy mad expensive but I think they'll pay for themselves in the long run. www.anthro.com
Been thinking about this for a while. I think my next desk upgrade is going to be a stand sit option. Heard good things about these and I think they are a fair bit cheaper than the anthro although maybe it's a case of you get what you pay for http://www.geekdesk.com/

Auburn landed their first 2014 commitment on Sunday when Prattville (Ala.) running back Kamryn Pettway committed to the Tigers.
Pettway visited Auburn's Junior Day last weekend and visited again on Sunday. His last visit sealed the deal.
"After I came for another visit, I loved the experience. I like the coaches, I feel very comfortable and it's close to home. I grew up an Auburn fan. I can stay close to home and play in the SEC," said Pettway.
"It feels awesome to be the first commitment in the new class. I can help bring in more recruits."
Pettway was formerly committed to Florida State before decommitting last week.
Auburn offensive coordinator Rhett Lashlee, running backs coach Tim Horton and receivers coach Dameyune Craig recruited the 6-foot, 220-pound Pettway to the Plains.
"Their offense, the coaches, the University, it's all good," said Pettway. "Coach Craig, Coach Lashlee and Coach Horton were all great. They told me they liked my size, I'll fit the offense and I can run the wildcat. I'm big, fast and physical and can also catch out of the backfield."
Pettway's favorite running back growing up was former Arkansas back Darren McFadden. Horton coached McFadden during his time in Fayetteville and expressed his desire to coach and mold Pettway in the same fashion.
Pettway is a true power back. He was a standout last season at Prattville High School and performed extremely well at the U.S. Army Combine in January. He rushed for over 1,300 yards and 14 touchdowns as a junior.
Pettway doesn't know about official visits next fall, that's still a ways off. But Pettway does believe this will be his last decision.
"I'm going to stay with Auburn," he said.

Cube RootSituation puzzles (sometimes called lateral thinking puzzles) are ones where you need to ask lots of yes or no questions to figure out what happened in the situation. These are good puzzles for groups where one person knows the puzzle and answers the questions.
Why did a man put two cubes in a glass of water? The cubes are not ice cubes or sugar cubes and no drink or refreshment is involved.
HintDropping the cubes in the water could save him a lot of money.
AnswerThe cubes are a pair of dice to be used in a craps game. If they are loaded, they will always sink to the bottom of the glass with their heaviest side down. This is a way of checking that the dice are fair.

Sarah Michelle Gellar
She warded off vampires in the hit series Buffy the Vampire Slayer and has starred in hit movies like Cruel Intentions, I Know What You Did Last Summer and The Grudge.
AppealSarah definitely gives off the innocent girl-next-door vibe, which is part of her appeal and part of the reason men are so attracted to her. Men love her innocent look, but they also love the bad girl that lurks inside.
SuccessAfter getting her start on the daytime soap All My Children (from 1993 to 1995), Sarah Michelle Gellar made the move to hit teenage movies like I Know What You Did Last Summer (1997), Scream 2 (1997) and Cruel Intentions (1999).
People were quick to think that after her long-time stint as Buffy on Buffy the Vampire Slayer, she would disappear along with the show, but she only came back stronger with the No. 1 box-office thriller, The Grudge (2004).
In 2005, she can add Happily N'Ever After, Revolver, Southland Tales, and Romantic Comedy to her resume.
Sarah Michelle Gellar BiographySarah Michelle Gellar was born on April 14, 1977, in New York City. After the 1984 divorce of her parents, Sarah was raised by her mother, Rosellen. Incidentally, her biological father, Arthur Gellar, was found dead in his apartment in October 2001.
Fate stepped in when Sarah was 4 years old, after an agent discovered her eating at a local restaurant. She made her acting debut with the made-for-TV movie An Invasion of Privacy, and a slew of television appearances soon followed in shows like Spenser: For Hire.

After small, uncredited parts in films like Over the Brooklyn Bridge and High Stakes, Sarah was cast as the teenage version of Jacqueline Bouvier in the made-for-TV movie on the former First Lady, 1991's A Woman Named Jackie. She also appeared in the short-lived 1992 television drama, Swans Crossing, along with Mira Sorvino.
sarah michelle in all my children
Already practically a TV veteran with at least 100 commercials to her credit (including a McDonald's controversy), Sarah was gaining even more recognition with female soap opera fans, thanks to her role in All My Children (she befriended actress Kelly Ripa on set, who was quoted as saying that Sarah was always mature beyond her years). Sarah was even awarded with an Emmy for her portrayal of Erica Kane's daughter in 1995. Apparently, Sarah had to refuse the role of Juliet in 1996's Romeo + Juliet, which ultimately went to Claire Danes, because of scheduling conflicts with All My Children.
sarah is buffy the vampire slayer
But if it's any consolation to Sarah, her biggest role to date was only an audition away. Sarah was aiming for the role of Cordelia in Buffy the Vampire Slayer, but after her audition, it was clear that she was meant to play the lead. Sarah slayed vampires and dealt with teenage angst as Buffy Summers, from the show's debut in 1997 to its demise in 2003. As as result, both the show and Sarah enjoyed a lot of critical and commercial acclaim. The fact that she studied Tae Kwon Do for five years (she has a black belt), and also studied kickboxing, boxing, street fighting, and gymnastics, served to make her butt-kicking role that much more believable.
Despite -- or in addition to -- the huge success of Buffy, Sarah also turned up in some impressive movie roles in the late '90s, in films like 1997's I Know What You Did Last Summer and Scream 2, as well as other teen flicks like 1999's Cruel Intentions and Simply Irresistible. She also made an uncredited appearance in the Freddie Prinze Jr. vehicle, She's All That (1999).
sarah michelle in scooby-doo
Speaking of Freddie, the two became friends on the set of I Know What You Did Last Summer, and after years of friendship and romance, the couple announced their engagement on April 14, 2001, Sarah's 24th birthday. The two tied the knot on September 1, 2002.
Currently living in Los Angeles with her "Prinze," it's clear that Sarah is enjoying the best years of her life. In 2002, she even got to star opposite her husband in Scooby-Doo, and they both reprised their roles in 2004 for Scooby-Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed.
sarah michelle gellar in the grudge
Her next role was in the hit horror flick The Grudge (2004). She also did voice work in the TV film 2004: A Light Knight's Odyssey and the film Happily N'Ever After (2005). In 2005, Sarah Michelle Gellar can add Revolver, Southland Tales and Romantic Comedy to her resume.

This is something I have been wanting for a long time. A Reggie DVD, that highlights Reggie's career, has a top 15 or so plays/moments list, and has about 4-5 of Reggie's best games. And, I mean the entire games.
They did something like this with MJ, and the DVD was called, I think, Ultimate Jordan. I just hope the Pacers management or someone does this.
I think it would be sweet. One of the biggest reasons I would want something like this is because I don't want to have to download all of the games I want off the internet and crap like that. Takes too damn long. Especially off of bittorrents.
So, please, someone make a Reggie DVD!!!!

Startup Hopes to Capture Apple's Magic
Xiaomi Inc., the startup that has rattled China's smartphone market with its fast-selling handsets, is hoping to capture some of the magic that made Apple a global success story.
The Chinese company, which is planning to expand abroad, paid Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak to appear on Sunday in front of reporters at its headquarters in Beijing. Mr. Wozniak showed up at the event–labeled as the "Lei Jun & Woz Tech Talk"–with Xiaomi's founder and chairman, Lei Jun, and told reporters that Xiaomi's products were "excellent" and "good enough to crack the American market."
Mr. Wozniak said he was given Xiaomi's flagship Mi 3 smartphone to test. He also received a demonstration of Xiaomi's new Mi Wi-Fi router, which comes in a do-it-yourself kit that requires consumers to assemble the device themselves. Mr. Wozniak was later given the kit as a gift, which comes in an elegant wooden box, with his birthdate engraved on it.
"I'm playing with mine. I like it so far, and I'll tell you if I have problems," he told reporters. Mr. Wozniak didn't disclose how much he was paid for the appearance, but said he only nets 20% of his original fee. In fact, he said that 15% of his fee goes to a co-broker, 12.5% goes to his agent, 37% is paid in U.S. government taxes and 13% goes to California state taxes. "I do not do this for money," he said. "If I find things I don't like about the Mi 3, I'll tell them."
Xiaomi's corporate culture and rapid ascent has invited some comparisons to Apple. Like the late Apple co-founder Steve Jobs, Xiaomi's chairman sports dark shirts and presides over high-profile product releases. As part of efforts to expand overseas,
"A lot of our brain power comes from China," he said. "We've needed these elements that have come from Asia for so long."
Mr. Wozniak said he noticed that Singapore is changing. "They actually have quite a bit of great hardware development, and so they have very talented people. They have people that are thinking very much like Xiaomi thinks," he said.
Finally Mr. Wozniak said he "would love to live" in Beijing. "It's a very comfortable place for Americans … I want to shop in the little stores that are building components and parts, and plugging in phones and reprogramming them. I love that world — it's certainly where I started."
