England players still in state of shock after World Cup exit
England staff were still dismantling the team games room and meeting room at their Royal Tulip base here yesterday (Wednesday) but the hotel clearly anticipated their early departure from the World Cup. The place was heaving with new guests, many of them French. Only a few rooms were available.
Occasional reminders could be found that the 72-strong England party had been in residence: the Cross of St George next to a Brazil flag in the lobby bar, a receptionist with a Three Lions lapel badge and the squad's dining area with newly painted wooden boards to keep out prying eyes and one table with a place card saying "Players Only". Otherwise, England have been airbrushed out of this World Cup. In the hotel grounds, the only hint of football was a children's set of goals near the pool.
The sign for guests to "bring your friends and let's cheer together" when matches are televised in the bar cannot have been aimed at England. Nor would they have appreciated the promise of "live music - after the games".
England were in what Roy Hodgson called their "realm of despair". This is the World Cup of "all in one rhythm", except England. Barring a drive to training that bored certain players, Sao Conrado actually proved a good base for England, a mixture of sufficient privacy but also allowing contact with the public. The players had walked from their roped-off areas through the main reception, stopping for photographs and autographs. No key-cards were required to access the lifts. There was the huge beach 50 yards away and the mall 100 yards away with its popular Starbucks. England players could wake up and smell the coffee, off the field at least.
It was a world away from the five-star, heavily guarded prison in Rustenburg at the last World Cup. England have tried isolation at tournaments, and now tried involvement, but still to no avail. They flew out in the night, scarcely remembered, not mourned. Before he left, Hodgson admitted that when he arrived back at his Chelsea abode that "I have to continue the grieving for a period".
He will not resign. It was pointed out to Hodgson that Cesare Prandelli, Italy's coach, had stood down. "He's been there a long time [since 2010],'' Hodgson replied. "The FA have asked me to continue. They want me to continue. I'm very happy that they want me to continue.
"There's an interesting group of players here to work with. I get no feeling whatsoever that any of them will want me to resign. I have no reason to do so. I have no intention to do so. I think I've stood up to the criticism, to the comments and that's as much as I can do. I'm not a quitter. I believe in this team and that the FA seriously want me to keep doing this job, as do the players, so therefore I will continue to do it and I'll try and lead the team to Euro 2016 and try to get some good results."
That journey starts in 70 days when Hodgson will convene at St George's Park with Ray Lewington, Gary Neville and Dave Watson before the Wembley friendly with Norway on September 3 and then the Euro 2016 qualifier against Switzerland in Basle on September 8. England's video man is working on "cutting up" clips of performances in Brazil which will be presented to Hodgson and his staff.
"We will all sit down together before we start our next campaign to see what did we learn from the World Cup, what did we learn about our players, what did we learn about the way we want to play, what do we think we can push forward and if we made any glaring mistakes then what can we do to make sure we don't make them again," Hodgson said.
Hodgson will receive a report on trends and tactics at the World Cup from Dan Ashworth and Gareth Southgate, who continue scouting in Brazil, and will continue talking to Club England about the future development of the team. There was an element of clutching at straws at Hodgson searched for positives but he took heart from the attitude in the dead-rubber draw with Costa Rica in Belo Horizonte. Since being knocked out, England's players had suffered "four days of absolute misery" but the likes of Ross Barkley and Jack Wilshere performed well enough against Costa Rica. "I would defy anyone to question the determination, spirit and desire of the team," said Hodgson.
As England staff broke camp at Sao Conrado, Hodgson was still wrestling with many issues. He wants Steven Gerrard, 34, and Frank Lampard, 36, to stay on when many observers understandably want a clean break with the push towards Euro 2016 coming from a squad of under-30s.
"If the question is 'could they still play a part' then obviously the answer is 'yes','' Hodgson said of Gerrard and Lampard. "It would be nice if they don't formally retire because when players do that they disappear from England selection. Leave it to a dialogue perhaps whereby at any moment in time I could speak to one of them and say: 'Look, do you want to play in this game, are you up for it?' That's how I'd really like to see it.'' He acknowledged that Rooney is in the frame for captaincy if Gerrard goes.
He defended Steve Peters's involvement as the psychiatrist to a squad with such brittle belief. "He's been very, very good with the individual players. The nutritionist, extra fitness coach and Steve Peters have all been very valuable members of our squad and helped us prepare better."
Hodgson will take with him the memory of England fans'"fantastic" ovation at the final whistle in Belo Horizonte. Explanation of the fans' reaction came from one of their best-known members, Dean Cornish. "The scenes afterwards in Belo were also superb,'' Cornish tweeted.
"A poor team being supported until the end. Congas, new songs, and upbeat support. Fantastic. Homages to Lampard, Gerrard, Rooney, Hodgson and the rest of the side that 'the man in the pub' would never understand. Support unquestioned. That's not to say England fans are happy with performances. Not good enough. They've not performed. One day they will and those who support in 'bad' times will deserve it."

Hello everyone, long time reader, first time poster...
I recently came to a sort of insight that has basically flipped my entire practice over onto itself. Its been quite stressful.
About a week ago I was doing my usual concentration practice, just simple awareness of my breathing, nothing else. When I was done I got up and walked around and sort of tapped into something. I had this profound insight into Anatta in a very practical way. It was almost as if I found this place that was a dwelling independent of the Khandhas that could observe the aggregates perfectly and clearly unhindered. I had sort of found my no-self and found great wisdom and compassion within this dwelling.
The problem with this is that my breath (which has always been sort of my "center" or my anchor to the present moment and all impressions) had been rendered useless as I could now simply observe everything without the breath being any differing or significant object. Everything I thought I knew about meditation has been for the most part torn apart.
For the last week I've been reading a lot and torn between 2 methods. My original method which is centered around the breath and allows sort of indirect awareness to come on its own accord (which I feel inclined to continue with for continuity sake) and this new method of basically immediate full present time awareness.
The even freakier part which almost drove me crazy is that yesterday I was doing a seated meditation and this second method led me to the EXACT same jhana that I had been reaching before with my strictly concentration practice... Absolute confusion.
So I guess my question is should I keep concentrating and why? recently when I've been trying to simply just follow my breath I've been getting really frustrated, like I'm missing out and should just give in to my new method. But I feel like if I give in on my previous practice I will be doing myself a number of disservices (such as continuity, leaving my longtime practice handed down to be from a teacher, and my fear that eventually without a sort of directed anchor I will lose my present time awareness).
Another question is about what folks do in this context with daily life-non-seated mindfulness, before I was following my breath, or coming back to my breath, throughout the day but I have found my new method to be more beneficial in this field as well.
Any thoughts are truly appreciated.

Hampden Bridge - South Coast NSW
in Culture & Heritage
Next you are acknowledged, by the oncoming drivers, with a little gesture to say "thanks for waiting while I cross". A social courtesy life doesn't always offer.
Looking forward you travel through the hand crafted smooth stone gateway that announces your arrival to the other side.
Facts about Kangaroo Valley's lovely bridge:
Discover the history of Australia's most famous wooden suspension bridge
Much more than just a bridge the Hampden Bridge, in Kangaroo Valley, is considered a major engineering feat of the Victorian era and second only in importance in Australia to Sydney Harbour Bridge.
Hampden Bridge is in fact Australia's last surviving wooden suspension bridge, built in 1898.
The Hampden Bridge forms part of the Historic Walk through the Kangaroo Valley Village where you can watch a film (see link below) about the bridge; hear its folk song on your smart phone (activated by QR codes) and there's a fun activity sheet for kids (free copy available in reception at Crystal Creek Meadows accommodation).
The bridge symbolises Hope & Respect for the Kangaroo Village community as it was recently restored and reopened to match its original glory - after much anxiety that it would be inappropriately 'modernised'.
The same wood used in the restoration for the decking was also used to create seven benches which are raised on sandstone blocks to match the style of Hampden Bridge with its gothic Victoria style towers. Each bench carries a different sign about the special features of Kangaroo Valley.
What you will experience at Hampden Bridge
First you have to slow down and stop before you can even cross, as Hampden Bridge's width only caters for a single lane of traffic. You need to check for others. This gives you time to take a look at its sandstone towers which resemble the entrance to a medieval castle.
Next you are acknowledged, by the oncoming drivers, with a little gesture to say "thanks for waiting while I cross". A social courtesy life doesn't always offer.
Going forward you trundle over the deck, hearing your wheels rumble over the bolts that hold the hard wood decking.
Peer down to swimmers and canoes playing in the water and hear their joyful calls. After heavy rain you can listen to the river rushing past. Notice how the pedestrians on the bridge can feel the bridge move as it takes your car's weight. Being a suspension bridge it is supposed to brace itself and calmly carry you over.
Looking forward you travel through the hand crafted smooth stone gateway that announces your arrival to the other side.
Now it's your turn to give a little wave to those who have patiently waited for you to cross. Hampden Bridge is part of your journey and in the words of the Rev J Graves, 'to journey (can be) better than to arrive'.
Heavy trucks must also wait until other trucks have moved off the bridge at the other side - only one truck at a time is allowed on the bridge.
Facts about Kangaroo Valley's lovely bridge:
- Completed in 1898 at a cost of 8,382 pounds, the bridge was a significant
financial commitment when considering that the whole of Cambewarrra
Shire's annual council budget was 1,774 pounds (1908).
- The
sandstone was taken from the quarry (within the Kangaroo Valley Pioneer Museum grounds)
and timber selected locally. Only the 28 steel cables were sourced
outside the area.
- The towers made of hand carved local sandstone
resemble the turrets of an English medieval castle, made by the early Australian colony's principal stonemasons Loveridge
and Hudson. The bridge workers spent 18 months living in tents beside the site
in tough conditions
- Two weeks after Hampden Bridge was completed the old bridge was washed away in flood waters from a storm
- 110 trees were planted on the bridge's 110th birthday for harvesting in 80 years to restore the bridge in the future, Crystal Creek Meadows is one of the properties where the trees were planted (the other business partners in the scheme are Banksia Park, Jeroma Cottage & Man from Kangaroo Valley Horse Trail)
A round trip from your Kangaroo Valley accommodation at Crystal Creek Meadows takes 45 minutes (walking) or 15 minutes (cycling) or just a few minutes by car.
You can stop at the Hampden Bridge for a small tour, have a picnic, go swimming or spend the day.
Kangaroo Valley Safaris offer canoe hire by the Hampden Bridge.
Crystal Creek Meadows managed the 'experience project' taking two years to design and arrange installation of the seven benches, write and produce the 7 minute film, website and nine signs; using grants from the RMS, Shoalhaven Tourism Board, the Kangaroo Valley Tourist Association and Friends of Hampden Bridge.

Driving Lessonsby Doug Calisch • July 12, 2004 Share:
In a flash we both knew something was not right . . . the truck did not slow. The clutch had been our "pedal of focus." In my meticulously detailed lesson, I had neglected to reconfirm the role of the brake pedal.
Professor of Art Doug Calisch is this year's recipient of the McLain-McTurnan-Arnold Excellence in Teaching Award.
At some point during the internship I decided to teach Bobby to drive my stick shift truck so he could drive himself home in the evenings and back each morning. One hot July day we took a mid-afternoon break and drove to a remote country road where I did some of my most focused and impressive teaching—clutch, four-on-the-floor, gear-shift patterns, gas—the whole thing. I made a handout, drew diagrams, got out the owner's manual, and talked (lectured) him through the whole process.
When I felt comfortable, we changed seats as I preached the lesson one more time. Bobby found first gear and with a jolt we were off. Slowly gaining speed, he shifted into second, then semi-smoothly into third gear as we approached our first intersection. With all the newfound self-confidence of a bird taking first flight, Bobby moved boldly toward the intersection and, at the appropriate moment, applied pressure to the CLUTCH pedal.
In a flash we both knew something was not right . . . the truck did not slow. The clutch had been our "pedal of focus." In my meticulously detailed lesson, I had neglected to reconfirm the role of the brake pedal.
We flew into the intersection, swerving to miss an oncoming van, left the road and wrapped the truck around a telephone pole. An ambulance ride and too many stitches later, we apologized to each other and reconfirmed our commitment to the summer studio work—arrived at via bicycle.
That experience continues to inform me as a teacher. The scar on my forehead reminds me that a good teacher needs to build on the basics, reintroduce how new ideas grow from a foundational understanding, find ways to monitor how students are reacting to new information, and find the right method of delivery. And don't be concerned with impressing yourself.
A year later Bobby needed a reference letter to graduate school and I was happy to write a letter of wreckomendation on his behalf.

Rizzo teams with Cards' Motte to fight cancer
MESA, Ariz. -- Anthony Rizzo is wearing a new T-shirt that he hopes will help cancer patients across the country.
The Cubs first baseman has joined forces with the Cardinals' Jason Motte and his "Strike Out Cancer" movement. One player from each Major League team will promote the T-shirt -- which will be in that team's colors -- and $5 will go to Motte's foundation and $5 to the other player's charity of choice. That will assuredly benefit Rizzo's foundation, which has already hosted two walk-a-thons in Florida and a celebrity "Cook-Off for Cancer" in Chicago.
"It's nice that he reached out," Rizzo said of Motte. "I saw the Cardinals wearing them last year, and I liked it because of the cancer angle."
Rizzo does have T-shirts for his foundation and has worn shirts given to him from cancer patients he has visited in hospitals. Rizzo is a cancer survivor himself, having been diagnosed with limited stage classic Hodgkin's lymphoma in 2008.
"It's really cool that [Motte] is doing this, and hopefully one day, my foundation can be as big as that," Rizzo said. "It helps mine, it just helps the cause. That's really the nicest part that you can help out -- it doesn't matter if it's my foundation or someone else's. It's just to help the cause."
The website 108stitches.com went live on March 17, with 108 Stitches showcasing the "Strike Out Cancer" tees in each team's colors. Each is promoted by a different player who agreed to join Motte in a partnership that will benefit multiple charities. Each participating player has chosen a charity that will benefit from the T-shirts sales, and for each shirt sold, $5 will go to the Jason Motte Foundation and $5 to a charity of that player's choice. A full list of recipient charities will be listed on the 108 Stitches website soon, along with a photo of each player rep in his team-colored shirt.
"At the end of the day, it's about reaching people," Motte said. "Baseball is great and everything, but there are other really important things going on out there that affect a lot of people. Wearing these T-shirts shows people that they're not alone. They're not sitting there doing chemo by themselves where no one cares. People do care, whether it's friends, family or baseball players. There are people who this has touched and this has affected. This is something we're trying to do to get the word out there and try to raise money to help."
Some Cubs fans apparently couldn't wait for the blue shirt and purchased the red one on the site.
"I have had Cubs fans tweeting me, 'Hey, man, I'm a Cubs fan, but my mother just got diagnosed with cancer and I'm showing my support for her,'" Motte told MLB.com.

DENVER — Giants outfielder Andres Torres will have bone spurs removed from his left foot, ending his season and putting the rest of his career in doubt.
Manager Bruce Bochy said Torres would need at least six months of rehab, meaning he would not be able to be ready for the start of camp next season. Torres, 35, will be a free agent at the end of this season.
Torres was placed on the disabled list last week with a left Achilles strain and Bochy said the tendon is fine. But given that Torres has always relied on his speed, the foot surgery could prove to be too tough to recover from.
"I know that's what Andres has been thinking about," Bochy said. "When he comes back, you see how he's running. It's such a big part of his game."
Torres hit just .250 in his return to the Giants and proved to be a surprising liability on defense. He made five errors after committing just eight in his first eight seasons and was so lost at times in left field that the Giants switched up their alignment just before the All-Star break, moving Gregor Blanco to left and Torres to center, where he felt more comfortable.
"It's been an up and down year," Bochy said. "I'm sure he's a little disappointing about how his year has gone. He struggled from the left side and his outfield play, it's fair to say, wasn't as strong. He thinks the Achilles (injury) played a part in that. Andres gives you everything he has, but he made some mental lapses in the outfield.
"It's fair to say that it wasn't the type of year he was hoping for and we were hoping for."
Despite the struggles, Torres was a popular figure in the clubhouse and Bochy said they exchanged texts Tuesday.
"He said 'I'm doing great,' " Bochy said. "He's looking forward to getting this thing taken care of so it doesn't nag him occasionally."

Going over-board with adding letters to the traditional "GLBT (Gay/Lesbian/Bi-sexual/Trans)" acronym to attempt to include every non-homophobic possibility. GLBT alphabet soup can become a very long, nonsensical acronym. It becomes nonsensical in that it is redundant. Queer, for example, is a rather broad term that has already been covered by the GLB part of the acronym. Trans-gender and transsexual are close enough to the same thing that it's safe to just refer to those people as "trans". Questioning is ridiculous, because it doesn't take that long to figure out if you're gay or straight. Most people know their sexual orientation at a very young age. Allies shouldn't be included in the acronym because, as much as gays appreciate their support and openness, they simply aren't queer. The whole point of the original GLBT acronym is to have an all-inclusive term to describe queer people, not their fan club. Intersex is too detailed for the acronym; as previously stated, the very purpose of the GLBT acronym is to have a universal, simple term to refer to queer people. There can be more letters added, but the example of the GLBT alphabet soup is enough explanation of the redundancy of this term.
GLBT alphabet soup example (these are not all of the letters that some people use): GLBTIQQA=Gay/Lesbian/Bi-sexual/Transgender/Transsexual/Intersex/Queer/Questioning/Allies

In this tutorial, I'll show you how easy it is to create a list-based app with the jQuery Mobile framework in just a few minutes, and hopefully encourage you to give it a try.
jQuery Mobile is an excellent way to create web applications for mobile devices, but it suffers from a bit of a PR problem. When I first learned about the framework, I put it on my list of technologies I should investigate, but I figured that because it's based on jQuery, I'd have to be a jQuery expert before I could use jQuery Mobile. I found that nothing could be further from the truth.
All that is needed to use the framework is some basic HTML knowledge. In addition, because the framework is built on top of jQuery, you get all of the functionality of jQuery in a way that is easily accessible.
jQuery Mobile is a framework for developing web applications for touch-optimized devices. A framework gives you a structure or methodology for doing something—in this case, for developing web applications.
So let's get started with a quick example. I'm going to build a list-based app that will show a selection of photos. I'll start with some super basic starter code for a normal page:
<!DOCTYPE html>

<meta charset="utf-8" />
This is pretty standard HTML code. Let's add a header section to our body:

My Photos

And of course, we'll need a footer. I'm going to add a navigation with fake links to some other potential pages:

Home

Photos

Info

Now we need some content. To keep things short for this article, I'm going to add just two photos to the mix, but you can add as many as you like. Since this is a list-based app, I'll put the photos inside a list.

Miniature Doberman Pincher

This is what happens when a
friend brings a dog to the studio.

Gummy Bears

Three different poster boards...mirror for reflection,
black for background white for highlights

We encased our list inside an
 tag, and inside each list item we have a link, which will eventually take us to a large version of our image and then a headline, a thumbnail, and a short description.
So far this is just a regular HTML page. Let's now add the jQuery library. Since the app is based on jQuery Mobile, we'll need to add that library too, as well as some styles that the library needs. The easiest and recommended way to do this is to copy three lines of code from the jQuery Mobile Download page.
<link rel="stylesheet" href="http://code.jquery.com/mobile/1.1.1/jquery.mobile-1.1.1.min.css" />

You can put this code in between the  tags in your document (not to be confused with the  tags). These three lines tie in the CSS, the jQuery Mobile library, and the jQuery library. If you preview the page now, you'll be able to see some slight differences in the look of the page. The background will be gray, and the fonts will be different. Not too exciting, but it means the library is already working. Here comes the exciting part.
Modifying our list so that it gets mobile device functionality is super easy: we just need to modify our
 tag to read like this:

Your page should look something like this:
From someone who has written the CSS necessary to make a list look like this photo, this library has already saved me a ton of time.
jQuery Mobile uses the data-role tag to assign roles to regular HTML elements on a page. The reason it can do this is because of a really cool feature in HTML5: the ability to add a data-whateverattribute to any tag and store information that you can use to style elements and create interactivity.
For an even more impressive example of what the library can do, try modifying your
 tag like this to make your list searchable:

You should see a search box appear on top of your list. Start typing the word gummy into the search box and you'll see that the list only displays one item (the one with the text gummy bears in the title). jQuery Mobile does all of that for you automatically.
Let's add some of the other tags that tell jQuery Mobile to format things in a more mobile-friendly fashion.
Content in jQuery Mobile is normally placed inside a data-role="content" section. We can add that to our
 tag.

Let's also fix up the header. We'll use data-role="header" in the  tag.

Next, we'll fix the footer. Modify the  tag like this:

Not perfect yet, but this shows a big improvement. Our header looks like a mobile device header, our search bar and list are nicely formatted. Notice that I've added the data-position="fixed" attribute to the footer. That places the footer at the bottom on mobile devices. Our footer looks good, but the links could look better. Let's make them look like buttons on a mobile device.
Modify the  tag in the footer to read like this:

Our application is looking great; however, we could really use some icons on the navbar links. jQuery Mobile lets us easily add icons by adding a data-icon attribute to links by modifying our list items like this:

Home

Photos

Info

With just a few attribute tags, we've added mobile functionality to a page that would have taken hours to write and style otherwise.
So far, we've built a single page app. If you want to create an app with multiple pages, you have to wrap each page with a tag, use the data-role="page", and add an id so that we can link to that page.
Before the  tag add the following line of code:

And don't forget to close it underneath the  tag:

I always add a comment because when working on a large jQuery Mobile project, I use a lot of
 tags and it's nice to know what the closing tags belong to.
Now that we have a page, let's add a page for each of our photos:

Min Pin

Photos

Gummy Bears

Photos

The code is pretty similar to the photo list page with some important changes. First, there is no footer on these pages, since they will just display the photos. Second, we added a header with a link back to the home page—note the data-iconpos attribute on that link. You can control the position of the icons on buttons with this attribute, or you can turn the buttons off altogether using notext as a value. The button on the header is linked to our photos page.
I've also added a class of fullscreen to my photos. This is not a jQuery Mobile class, but something I've added manually because I want the photos to display full screen, so eventually I'll add some CSS for that further down. First though, we need to link the items in our list view page to our new pages. Modify the list like this:

Miniature Doberman Pincher

This is what happens when a
friend brings a dog to the studio.

Gummy Bears

Three different poster boards...mirror for reflection,
black for background white for highlights

Our app is almost done. Now, right before the closing  tag at the top of our document, let's add the style to make sure our photos fit.
img.fullscreen {
max-height: 100%;
max-width: 100%;
Our app is now ready. You can take a look at the finished jQuery Mobile app here.

I did something bad to my right side. Ended up in urgent care last night. Muscle strain vs. "rib out of place". The Dr. said, "I don't move ribs, but some of my osteopath friends do."
Anyway, RHBH with any power at all is a no-go. I suck in a major way with forehand. Not even sure I would have fun trying to play, but I can do that with no pain. Use this time to develop a better forehand, or just take a break and practice putting?

Sally Hansen Insta-Dry Fast Dry Nail Color Reviews
Pretty and Gets You On Your Way!Sally Hansen does it right again with their "Insta-Dri Fast Dry Nail Color." The colors are plush and substantive; often one coat is all you need (I love it in "Expresso"). The shades range from demure to quite vivid and unusual. It leaves a shiny finish and does dry incredibly fast. I also get long wear from this polish. — 4 years, 3 months agoGigiSD | 1102 reviews

Not Impressed But It Indeed is Instant DryMy friend bought two of these in a yellow and red color, and it looks so much better on her than it is on me. Personally I felt the brush was too large to work with and it tried way to quickly. Basically, it's almost as if the brush was meant for one stroke only and dries instantly. You'll have to work and be precise, which is not what I like to do. It may work better for you, like it did for my friend or it may not. It's up to you to give this a try. — 6 years, 3 months agoMissXu | 102 reviews

I wanted to love it...But I was disappointed. Maybe it was the color? I had a yellow cream color, and the polish was kind of thick and streaky.

They are pretty long naturally, not too wide and not too thin... People actually complement me on the natural shape of my nail... I'm not bragging about them, but just trying to point out that I don't have really oddly shaped nails or anything like that. This applicator is just so thick and so stiff, plus it's kind of half square, half oval at the end... What I mean is that you can't call it oval, because the curve is rough, and so obviously you can't call it square either... Come on! I really like my nails to be neat, and this just messes them up every time I use it! Unless you take two hours to do your nails - I find it impossible to achieve a flawless look with this applicator. And I'm still giving this polish 6 stars, because the pigmentation is great, the drying time is great, so in case you happen to have a nail that goes with a thick oval/square applicator - you'll love this polish... — 3 years, 10 months agoNikatron | 150 reviews

My Reasons for Reporting This

Carp designated for assignment; Victorino on DL
BOSTON -- Following a flurry of transactions prior to Thursday's non-waiver Trade Deadline, the Red Sox made a slew of internal moves prior to Friday night's series opener against the Yankees.
Boston designated Mike Carp for assignment, placed right fielder Shane Victorino on the 15-day disabled list, activated third baseman Will Middlebrooks from the DL and recalled starter Anthony Ranaudo, outfielder Mookie Betts, lefty Tommy Layne and righty Alex Wilson from Triple-A Pawtucket. Allen Craig and Yoenis Cespedes, both acquired Thursday, were added to the Major League roster, as well.
"This isn't a development setting right now," manager John Farrell said. "It is still about us going out and winning. ... We have gone through a number of changes because we have all contributed to the record up to date, but the priority is to win."
This is Victorino's third trip to the DL this year. He's missed 71 games this season because of a right hamstring strain. Victorino underwent an MRI on his sore lower back Friday.
"I think, until we get the information back, it's probably too early to tell," Farrell said of a timetable for Victorino's return. "The one thing we do have right now is we have some time on our side, so whatever is recommended for Vic to get back to full strength, if we use the remaining months in this calendar year to our advantage, we'll see if that makes sense."
Carp, meanwhile, said two weeks ago that he wanted more playing time. He missed a month with a fractured right foot and is batting just .198/.320/.279 in 86 at-bats this season. Last year in a similar role, he hit .296/.362/.523.
"In the role that he is very good at, in that platoon/bench role, he didn't seem to get on track as much as he did a year ago. That was frustrating for him," Farrell said. "He had a strong desire to get more consistent at-bats, which I can respect. With the additions we just got, those at-bats would have been even more limited. We felt like it was a chance to let him seek an opportunity better for him."
The roster changes over the past few days could mean less playing time for some, namely Daniel Nava. Farrell said Nava won't be in a strict platoon, and added that the team is "going to make sure Daniel gets on the field." The switch-hitter has an .815 career OPS against righties and a .587 mark against righties.
Brock Holt has missed just one game since he assumed the leadoff role on May 23. He's played every position this year except pitcher and catcher. Farrell said Holt will see time in center field against lefties, and against righties, the left-handed hitter will play shortstop and third base. Both Middlebrooks and shortstop Xander Bogaerts hit right-handed.
"We see his alignment being in those three positions," Farrell said.

Aavailable Medications
What other medications could help me with my asthma?I`ve been taking Albuterol for what seems to be forever. I am to take it only when needed [emergency] but find myself taking it way too much - which means it doesn`t even last one month.
I also take singular on a daily basis.
I use my nebulizer daily and sometimes up to five or six times a day. Also have a breathing device that allows me to monitor my lung capacity - normal day about 350 on a good day about 450 or so. Some days about 250 to 275.
You need to be on a controller anti-inflammatory medication such as an inhaled corticosteroid. I would see your primary care doctor immediately who may also want to refer you to an allergy or pulmonary specialist for further evaluaton and treatment of your asthma which sounds poorly controlled. Taking only a bronchodilator like albuterol can mask inflammation in the lungs and cause loss of lung function over time.

Making The Film
Using The Film
Being A Joines: A Life in the Brushy Mountains
John E. "Frail" Joines was a master tale teller from Wilkes County, N. C., on the eastern slope of the Blue Ridge Mountains. His hunting tales, stories from World War II, and religious narratives, and the life stories of Frail Joines and his wife Blanche mirror changes that swept away much of the traditional culture of his Appalachian rural community in a single generation and show the character and values with which his family met these circumstances. "They wanted to know how I got so many scars, when I come out of the Army, and I told them that being a Joines got me the scars. I told them going through the war was just like going to a Sunday-school picnic." -Frail Joines
Also highly recommended is "Frail Joines: Brushy Mountain Tale Teller of Wilkesboro," a 30-minute radio program edited by Allen E. Tullos from audio outtakes from the film "Being a Joines."
I laughed so hard at times, then nearly wept at other times as this noble man's life was presented without any glossy coating....

New York -- Shopper analytics firm Experian FootFall said Thursday that the final Saturday before Christmas – Super Saturday – could eclipse Black Friday as the top performer this holiday season.
Historically, Black Friday and Super Saturday are the two strongest shopping days throughout the holiday season, with Black Friday typically finishing just ahead of Super Saturday. Due to the 2012 calendar shift that provides an additional two days to spend between Thanksgiving and Christmas, FootFall said it anticipates consumers will flood various retail locations and boost performance by taking advantage of sales and promotions during the final weekend of the season.
"As we advised, retailers experienced a spending lull following the hugely successful Black Friday weekend where deep discounts and early Black Friday promotions extended spending into Thanksgiving Day," said Roseanne McCauley, VP the Americas for Experian FootFall. "We believe these same deep discounts and promotions like those seen over Black Friday weekend, added to the annual throng of procrastinators that wait until the final weekend to spend, could potentially drive Super Saturday performance ahead of Black Friday in 2012."
FootFall anticipates retailers will see a spike beginning Friday evening with weekend sales peaking late on Saturday. Retailers should see Super Saturday momentum extending into Sunday with sales and traffic levels tapering off as the weekend winds down, forecasted the firm.
Looking further ahead, Footfall said that retailers might see a slight increase early on Christmas Eve as consumers secure those last-minute items to finalize holiday spending. The firm also anticipates gift card redemptions and after-Christmas sales and promotions will once again boost retail performance on Dec. 26.

California's rivers and reservoirs are running dry as drought deepens to new levels across the state.
According to the latest "Drought Monitor" report released Thursday, California has reported exceptional drought, the highest level of drought intensity, for the first time in 15 years.
As on Jan. 28, more than half of the state is in extreme drought with another 9 percent in extreme drought.
"Climatologically speaking, 15 years is a very short span of time, but it is safe to say that the current California drought rivals any in recent memory," said Mark Svoboda, climatologist at the National Drought Mitigation Center. "You've got to go back to the 1970s to find anything comparable."
However, according to the Sacramento (Calif.) Bee, locals disagree.
"This is worse than the drought in the 1970s," Rancher Stanley Van Vleck said. "That drought lasted longer but at least there was more rain per year. So, our lands are severely impacted. When you have no water, you have no grass. And when you have no grass you have no meat."
Ranchers are already beginning to sell off livestock at a time when sale barns are typically slow, and the California Farm Water Coalition estimates that lost revenue from the drought in everything from farming to trucking could top $5 billion.
Seventeen rural communities across the state are almost out of water. Some could run dry within 60 to 120 days, according to the San Jose (Calif.) Mercury News in an article here.
And it could get a lot worse.
Some scientists fear the state could be on the verge of a "mega-drought." Such an event could have catastrophic effects on the state. If the current drought stretches on for another 10 years, water experts say farmers would bear the brunt of the loss.
California isn't alone in battling deepening drought. Extreme or worse conditions exist from Idaho, Nevada and into a small area of Oregon.

A woman who threw a tablet computer at her boyfriend's head Wednesday was arrested by Oakland County Sheriff's deputies in Rochester Hills.
Authorities say the woman, 37, became irate and threw her Samsung Tablet after learning of posts her 37-year-old boyfriend made to an ex-girlfriend on Facebook. The computer struck the man in the face and gave him a black eye.
The tablet was taken as evidence.
The incident began after the Rochester Hills man came home from a night out at a bar. His girlfriend called sheriff's deputies and told dispatchers that she wanted her live-in boyfriend removed from the home. Before the dispatcher had a chance to ask follow-up questions, the woman hung up, according to a Wednesday media release.
Deputies responded to the family trouble complaint on the 1800 block of Village Green, and spoke with the couple.
After investigating further, deputies discovered that the woman had assaulted her boyfriend after learning about the Facebook posts. The tablet she had read the posts on was hurled at the boyfriend's head, injuring his eye.
The woman was arrested for felonious assault and was taken to the Oakland County jail.

NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Regional banks with major exposure in Western markets "stand to benefit the most" from the continued increase in home prices, according to UBS analyst Greg Ketron. On Tuesday, the S&P Case-Shiller national composite Home Price Index showed a third-quarter gain of 3.6% year over year, while prices were up 2.2% from the second quarter. Diving further into the recent data, Ketron said in a report later on Tuesday that "Western markets showed the most improvement with Las Vegas (+3.0%) and Phoenix (+2.9%) leading all metro-statistical areas (MSAs) over the past two months," while "Detroit was also up 2.9%." None of the MSAs showed home price declines. S&P Dow Jones Indices said that home prices rose for a "sixth straight month" nationally. Looking just at the September results, the Case-Shiller Home Price Index showed declines in five of the 20 MSAs, all on the East Coast or in the Midwest. Of course, with its legacy mortgage risk from its acquisitions of Countrywide Financial in 2008 and Merrill Lynch in 2009, Bank of America ( BAC) has quite a bit riding on the housing recovery. In its quarterly 10-Q filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, Bank of America reported that total unresolved mortgage repurchase claims against the company had risen to $25.5 billion as of Sept. 30, from $12.6 billion at the end of last year. Bank of America still hasn't resolved its long-running dispute with Fannie Mae over the government sponsored mortgage giant's mortgage putback claims, but the eventual resolution of that problem, along with a continued recovering in national home prices, should bode well over the long haul. While some analysts think investors should steer clear of Bank of America until the Fiscal Cliff is resolved, it's also important to note that among the "big four" U.S. banks, the company is expected to see the greatest year-over-year earnings improvement in 2014. The consensus 2013 earnings estimate for Bank of America among analysts polled by Thomson Reuters is 97 cents, while the consensus 2014 EPS estimate is $1.27. Turning back to regional housing trends, Ketron said that "generally speaking, Western banks and Midwest banks have led" his firm's month-to-month and year-over-year weighted rankings of home price increases within their geographic footprints. Ketron reiterated his "positive view of regional banks," saying that the group trades at an average of 1.5 times tangible book value, and for an average of 10.4 times his firm's 2013 earnings estimates, and that "we continue to see value in regional banks as leverage to an improving economy and housing markets, market share gains, and lower regulatory burdens serve as key levers." Here are the five regional bank stocks with "larger Western footprints" that Ketron says have the "most leverage" to improving home prices, ordered by ascending upside implied by UBS price targets.

Toronto Gets:

Indiana - Indiana obviously brings in PF & SG prospects to solidify positions of question. The catch is Udrih's deal which goes through next season. Udrih isnt horrible however so I see this is as a fair sacrifice.
Charlotte - Jack is a Larry Brown type of PG and will solidify the PG rotation with Augustine nicely. Dorsey is a scrappy big who also fits Brown's syle of play and Garcia isnt a bad fit either. Lastly Alabi is a decent prospect at C. All they really give up is Henderson who really isnt getting much burn anyway. They also are able to move Carroll's contract which runs through this ssn plus 2 more.
Sacremento - Mostly a cost cutting move here as they move Udrih and Garcia who are the only 2 players left with longer contracts who arent a part of the youth movement. They also aquire a couple draft picks. Essentially all they give up is Thompson who they are rumored to be shopping anyway. They do take on Calderon's deal which may or may not be the roadblock of this deal, however I think Jose would be a nice addition as the Kings PG of the future....IMO Evans is not a PG and would be complimented nicely by a PG like Calderon who is a pass first but can shoot from outside type of player.....2 things that Evans does not do well. Julian Wright is still a decent prospect as a throw in. Mohamed is an expiring plain and simple.
Toronto - All contract shedding here for the Raptors. They move both Jack & Calderon at once which is a coup for them. TJ is an expirer and will likely be a 1 year rental. Solo also just an expirer to them. Dahntay's contract is cheap so wont effect them. Carroll is the only catch as he has 3 years at 4mil left......but it shard to complain when you are shedding 14mil over 3 years in the process.
IMO this works for all teams involved....possible Sacremento the least since they take on Calderon's deal.....but with them moving other long term deals as well as aquiring draft picks in the process I think it works for them too.

Wow! It must take a long time to make items with such beauty. This is an eyeglass case with a hard encasing. It holds glasses tightly without a closure at end. The black background has an embroidered cover with an ivory scroll, burgundy roses fading into pastels of green leaves, pink, purple and blue flowers. The attention to detail is most impressive. The interior is lined with a burgundy satin. This eyeglass case was a lovely addition to my collection. I work at a consignment shop and am able to see items as they come in. We receive items from the community estate sales, individuals that might be downsizing and retired collectors. Hope you like what you see! I sure do! <smiles>

I saw that there are a lot of advices in regard of allowed medicines: Buddhist Monastic Code II Chapter 5 Medicine
Do anybody has resources about detail preparations of "allowed" medicine?
Is there still a practice in regard of this by Bhikkhus today and in how far?
Are there professional doctors (ev. Bhikkhus) which are usually consulted by the community?

Medicinal Plants (Cambodia)
Nomad RSI's medicinal plants programme contributes to the protection of the knowledge of healing plants used by the Bunongs. The organisation works in collaboration with traditional healers (kruu boran), who are brought together to share their knowledge and experiences. They also work with Nomad RSI to collect plants, roots and seeds of useful plants, establishing medicinal plant gardens within their own villages, and a model one in the regional capital, Sen Monorom.
A crucial aspect of this project is to gain recognition and acceptance of Kruu Boran (= anicent/traditional Guru/Doctor) as valued and legitimate first-level health providers, often the only ones available. Among Bunong communities, illness in general is often understood as created by the anger of spiritual forces. In such cases, traditional healers are often consulted. However, the Bunong do also use biomedicines, which sometimes proves to be very problematic without a basic form of training, and do not rely on a single health system. People use the available medical resources pragmatically. But there is almost no cooperation between both biomedical and traditional health structures at the village level. Traditional healers and their practices are not recognized nor integrated in the national public health system of Cambodia. Today, however, the Ministry of Health, gives official backing, through the National Centre for Traditional Medicine with whom Nomad RSI works closely.

'Star Wars: Episode 7′ Ankle Watch: Harrison Ford Sidelined for Two Months
Last week, the internet couldn't stop talking about Harrison Ford's 'Star Wars: Episode 7' injury. Oh, the jokes! Oh, the memes! There's a certain amount of comedy to be found in an elderly Han Solo injuring his ankle thanks to the door of the Millennium Falcon. But now is the time to quit with the laughter: Ford's injury, while certainly not life-threatening, is bad enough that he won't be able to return to the set for eight weeks.

As Congress and the White House continue to debate the future of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, one of the oft heard concerns is that if we eliminate all the various mortgage subsidies in our system, then the cost of a mortgage will increase. There certainly is a basic logic to that concern. After all, why have subsidies if they don't lower the price of the subsidized good. Of course some, if not all, of said subsidy could be eaten up by the providers/producers of that good.

Federal Spending Cap: Corker vs. 3%
The American Action Forum will host a conference on Capitol Hill this afternoon to discuss budget reform (details here). Sen. Bob Corker (R-TN) will discuss his "Commitment to American Prosperity Act," which would cap federal spending at a declining percentage of GDP over ten years. Spending as a percentage of GDP would eventually be reduced to 20.6 percent, which is equal to the average from 1970 to 2008.
More Federal Contracting Corruption
I recently discussed corruption in the Small Business Administration's 8(a) program, which sets aside federal contracts for minority-owned or other "disadvantaged" small businesses. A ProPublica investigation into set-asides for Alaskan Native Corporations found that subcontractors and large companies in the other 49 states have been reaping the financial benefits.
Wasting Time on Government Waste
A recent poll found that 60 percent of those surveyed believe that problems with the federal budget can be solved by simply eliminating waste, fraud, and abuse. In fact, 40 percent strongly agreed with this erroneous position.
USDA's Budget Boom
Spending at the U.S. Department of Agriculture will be an estimated inflation-adjusted 43 percent higher this year compared to just a decade ago. The following chart shows the dramatic rise in USDA spending from fiscal 1970 to the president's projection for fiscal 2011:
Federal Budget Cap at 3%
The federal government is approaching its legal borrowing limit, and fiscal conservatives in Congress are wondering what spending reforms they can extract in return for supporting a debt-limit increase. Various sorts of balanced budget amendments and debt limits relative to GDP are being kicked around. I support those ideas, but I fear that they may be too complicated to gain traction right now.
Spending Growth: Nondefense Discretionary
Last week I compared "other mandatory" spending in fiscal 2007 to the president's proposal for fiscal 2012. Several readers requested that I produce a chart showing a similar breakdown for nondefense discretionary spending (or "domestic discretionary").
Video: $61 Billion in Spending Cuts
Congressional Republicans want to reduce fiscal 2011 funding by $61 billion. The Obama adminstration and Senate Democrats believe these cuts are too large. As a result, a two-week continuing resultion was passed to allow the sides to reach an agreement on funding the government for the rest of the year.
Spending Growth: Mandatory Programs
While Congress haggles over Republican ambitions to trim $61 billion in funding for domestic discretionary programs, it's important to remember that mandatory (or "entitlement") spending is the main driver of recent and future budget growth.
Rearranging Chairs on Farmhouse Porch
Mark Bittman had a column on the NYTimes online "Opinionator" blog yesterday on farm subsidies. He included a fairly (but not completely) thorough list of what is wrong with farm subsidies in America, but he ultimately comes down on the side of "fixing" farm subsidies rather than ending them altogether.

Master Chorale of South Florida
Frost Chorale
Florida's Singing Sons Boychoir
Frost Symphony Orchestra
Our 29th annual Festival Miami closes with Karen Kennedy conducting a massive ensemble comprised of the Master Chorale of South Florida, Florida's Singing Sons Boychoir, the Frost Chorale and the Frost Symphony Orchestra performing Carl Orff's thrilling Carmina Burana, the most popular choral work of this century. Its propulsive rhythms and shimmering beauty have been heard in hundreds of movies (The Doors, Excalibur, Natural Born Killers) as well as TV commercials, but it must be experienced live to fully appreciate its sonic boom of savage sounds and lusty lyrics. Richard Strauss's flamboyant orchestral tone poem Don Juan is also a program feature.
Presented in collaboration with Festival Miami, Frost School of Music, and Master Chorale of South Florida

Repairing an iPhone--especially a brand-new one like the iPhone 5--can be a pain. Fortunately, many problems are fixable. But who do you choose to do the repair?
We did a quick review of some of the repair services available. There is Apple's own AppleCare+ insurance plan. Then there are companies like iCracked that specialize in fixing iOS devices--iPhones, iPads, and iPod Touches. iCracked handles broken screens, water damage, and battery replacements.
We compared the cost of using AppleCare+ vs. iCracked vs. SquareTrade, another insurance plan. The scenario: an iPhone 4S with a cracked screen. We found there isn't a huge difference in costs, but iCracked has the edge. Here's how it shakes out.
Let's start with AppleCare+. AppleCare+ costs $99 for two years. Under the insurance policy, a cracked screen--considered "accidental damage from handling"--costs $49 to repair. You're allowed two such repairs during the two years. The first broken screen would effectively cost $148--the cost of the policy plus the repair charge--to fix. A second instance--should you be klutzy enough to break the phone again within two years--would bring your total to $200.
The other insurance plan in our mini-comparison, SquareTrade's, charges $124 for two years of coverage, and a $50 deductible. This works out to $174 to repair our cracked screen, compared with $148 for AppleCare+.
The repair service iCracked would charge $124.99 to fix our screen. This is a savings over both AppleCare+ and SquareTrade, at least for a one-time incident.
iCracked is definitely the way to go if you have a freak accident and didn't insure your handset. It's also useful if you are out of warranty or bought it second-hand. Interestingly, many of the iPhones that iCracked gets are already covered by insurance, said CEO AJ Forsythe in a phone interview. "Most of our repairs are more convenient, or cheaper than the deductible," he said.
"No one wants to send their iPhone in for three days," said Forsythe, referring to the down time some users experience using AppleCare+. iCracked set up its own supply chain to insure it gets high-quality parts, he said. In addition, iCracked's technicians are located throughout the world, he said, with "300 guys in eight countries," to cut down on repair time.
Interviewing to become an iCracked "iTech" is a rigorous process, including background checks. Only 2% of those who apply make it into the training program, said Forsythe. He said that in the future, iCracked hopes to expand its repair service to include a full buy-back service.
With any luck your iPhone will never need fixing. A series of tests showed it to be much tougher than the Samsung Galaxy S III.
If you break your iPhone 5, you might be out of luck, at least for now. New iPhones are still on back order, according to Apple, so finding replacement parts could be difficult. Some reports say Apple will do in-store repairs. When we called Apple stores randomly chosen from this list, employees invariably asked us to bring our phones in to be looked at, but also told us that they didn't have parts right now.
iCracked said it would have iPhone 5 parts in a few weeks.

Customer Comments
I was very impressed and pleased by your service. I was shopping around for the perfume I ordered for my wife's birthday gift. I could not find it at many stores that I went; so I decided to buy it online. I must say that many other sites had it for double of what you had it for and when I saw your price I was sceptical because it was so much cheaper. I ended up ordering it anyway and seeing the Yahoo rating of your site made me feel a lot more easier in placing my order. I must tell you I was very pleased, I am a very picky consumer and when I shop I like to know what I am getting into. My order was here quicker than expected and from the day I placed my order I recieved an e-mail confirming it. Once again I am a very satisfied customer and I know where I am going to buy my Mother's birthday gift.

Mount Kilimanjaro is the highest peak in Africa, and when you book a flight to Kilimanjaro with Qatar Airways you'll experience a landscape that hasn't changed in millennia. The world's highest free-standing mountain has its own ecosystem and is located in the middle of Tanzania's Kilimanjaro National Park. Fly to Kilimanjaro and you're in the heart of Africa, full of elephants, leopards, buffaloes and many endangered species.
Kilimanjaro is the gateway to the Ngorongoro conservation area as well as the Serengeti National Park, while the Kilimanjaro International Airport is strategically situated within a close proximity to the Northern circuit.
Apart from actually climbing the mountain, there's a lot of other stuff to see and do during your trip to Kilimanjaro. These understandably mostly involve wildlife and the landscape's dramatic features. The Materuni and Kinukamori waterfalls, for example, are quite spectacular and have their own indigenous flora and fauna, especially birds and monkeys. Lake Chala in the foothills of the mountain is a great volcanic lake, and a tour will take you to the heartland of the Chagga tribe. Trips to Kilimanjaro should also take in a game drive around the slopes, using a camera to capture pictures of the wildlife.
A trip to Kilimanjaro is clearly going to be an activity holiday, and there are lots of different tours and treks to choose from depending on your tastes. The easiest way to get up the mountain, for instance, is via the Marangu Route, which is the most popular and takes it in easy stages.
The most scenic route up is the Machame Route, which is for the more adventurous climber. On the Lemosho Route you'd need to be accompanied by an armed ranger because of the less than friendly wildlife you're likely to encounter.
As you'd expect, there aren't any restaurants around here and food comes courtesy of the cooks and porters who accompany you on your tour. Bring some high-energy food along such as chocolate, as the food quality will fall towards the end of the tour as supplies shrink. This is all part of the fun, however, and as long as you drink your 3 litres of water each day you should be just fine.
If you're travelling to Kilimanjaro for shopping you may have got on the wrong plane! Don't expect any department stores or designer boutiques on the slopes. On the other hand, a few Tanzanian shillings can go a long way with entrepreneurial members of the indigenous Chagga tribe. You can pick up some authentic beads or craftwork.
Most of your shopping will have been done before you get here, with items like sleeping bags, malaria tablets and climbing equipment being the main priorities.
Qatar Airways flights to Kilimanjaro land at Kilimanjaro International Airport. It is close to the 'Northern circuit' which includes renowned tourist honey pots such as Mount Kilimanjaro, The Serengeti National park as well as the Ngorongoro conservation area.
Visa restrictions for entry into the country will depend on your country of origin, length of stay and whether your trip is for business or pleasure. So before you fly to Kilimanjaro please check the visa and passport requirements.
Currency: Tanzanian Shilling (TZS)
