Seedsnipe, also called Lark Plover, any of four species of South American birds comprising the family Thinocoridae (order Charadriiformes). The seedsnipe, related to such shorebirds as the gulls and terns, is adapted to a diet of seeds and greens. Seedsnipes are streaked birds with short, rounded tail and long wings. They are the only charadriiform birds with covered nostrils and the only ones that eat predominantly vegetable matter. Seedsnipes flock on tundra and pampas from the Falkland Islands to southern Argentina and Ecuador. The smallest (15 centimetres or 6 inches) and most widely distributed species is the least, pygmy, or Patagonian seedsnipe (Thinocorus rumicivorus). It covers its eggs with sand when it leaves the nest. The largest (about 30 cm, or 12 in.) is Gay's seedsnipe (Attagis gayi), which nests high in the Andes.

Well as a beginner in the DSLR realm I'm learning through experience. After all trial and error is the only way you get better. So with that said we ventured on our yearly trip to Disney for my daughter's b-day which falls on the 4th of July.
I learned a few lessons....lol
1. Never ever attempt to go to a park as big as Disney without a telephoto lense. I tried but mine never arrived in time. So there I was walking around with the standard Kit lense.
2. Carry a small cover for your camera and not a huge bag. With the temp well into the 90's it was unbearable to carry a bag without much camera.
The Lowepro bag did come in handy when riding the water rides especially the rapids. I was soaked but the bag remained dry. In retrospect I would have done a small tiny cover bag over the camera. Sling it over my shoulder and off. Lightweight was key.
3. Night shooting without a great flash or a tripod is pointless.
4. Did I mention needing a telephoto zoom lense?
5. I need practice practice practice and will be back next year for my Disney attempt.
With that said here are a few shots. Nothing spectacular but I'm a Star Wars fan so that was huge for me as well as my daughter who even though she's the girly girl her mom always wanted, she's still a huge Star Wars fan. lol
As usual your critiques, comments , suggestions are all invaluable and I do appreciate all your posts. Thanks.

After years of practice and endurance, former Jacksonville Jaguars linebacker Russell Allen's professional football dreams are tragically coming to an end.
Allen, 27, has officially announced his retirement following an on-field stroke in December, explaining that a brain injury will permanently prevent him from playing professional football.
But despite the unfortunate circumstances that led Allen, a devout Christian, to prematurely exit the field, he says he's keeping his spirits high and relying on God to guide him.
"My family [and] I want to thank everyone for the love [and] support," Allen tweeted Tuesday. "It's been a tough time but we serve a God who is bigger than our struggles."
[blackbirdpie url="https://twitter.com/RussellAllen50/statuses/458647865204563968″]
Problems for Allen began Dec. 15, 2013, when he had a routine, on-field clash with another player during a game between the Jaguars and the Buffalo Bills.
But what he thought was a minor football injury ended up leaving a small, dime-size portion of his cerebellum "dead," according to Sports Illustrated's MMQB.
"It was strange because it was so routine. We hit, I got off the block, no big deal," Allen told the outlet. "I felt something flash — like they say when you get your bell rung. I didn't lose consciousness. I walked back to the huddle and finished the drive."
Later in the game, though, he started having double vision and a headache persisted into the next day. Allen then reached out to the team and let physicians know about the minor clash, having little idea just how serious the injury was — one that would end his five-season NFL career.
After an MRI and a subsequent visit to the emergency room, Allen learned of his brain damage and that he had suffered a stroke on the field.
Flash forward a few months: The Jaguars recently announced that Allen failed his physical and he was cut from the team.
The former player has been open about his experience in recent days, sharing how the injury that initially seemed so simple has now derailed his football career.
Despite the tragic news, Allen is keeping positive. He's hoping to help other players recognize and speak out about their injuries before they become too serious. Additionally, he wants to coach high school football in the San Diego area.
[blackbirdpie url="https://twitter.com/RussellAllen50/status/458647954857787395″]
In his interview with MMQB, Allen also spoke about meeting Robert and Stefanie Herbert, a pastor and his wife, who had a major impact on Allen and his wife Ali.
Robert Herbert married the couple in 2010 and, after considering the impact the pastor and his wife has had on his life, the former Jaguars player realized that he, too, can have a positive effect on others, mainly young people.
"God changed our life through those people. It started to sink in for me what it was all about. I feel like high school is such an important time for kids to learn what football is about," Allen told MMQB. "You play the game because you love it, and you want to honor it. You treat people with respect and do things the right way, and you keep it in perspective, keeping family and faith up front."
He added, "Those were lessons I learned down the road. I didn't always have that perspective. I learned my lesson."
Despite concluding his NFL career, Allen seems determined to turn something negative into an opportunity to positively impact others' lives.

I first heard Bad Braids last summer, the night before I was supposed to leave for a month long tour with Folk to Folk. It was one of those hazy August nights where everything felt spooky. My room was already packed up, all my things in storage, and I was already feeling a little anxious, so I biked over to Dreamhaus to catch one last Allston house show before setting off.
Mike Bruno and Bad Braids were playing. They were two gloomfolk musicians on tour from Philadelphia, where they had roots at a house venue called Dreamcastle. Liz Pelly, who lived in Dreamhaus, had met them while on tour with Quilt a while back.
Bad Braids was on first. Bad Braids is really just Megan Biscieglia and her guitar, but Megan has one of those rare voices with the power to totally captivate listeners and transform a space. Megan weaves intricate vocal melodies that twist and build and arc, as if she is telling a story. Her lyrics mainly act to supply sensory details, but the actual narrative is in the vocal line, which gives the music a universal quality. Zone into it and you get the feeling that she is singing in another language and that language is old and magic, full of deep woods and dusk, folk spells and enchantment.
Later, Mike Bruno played, conjuring mossy forest spirits with his theramin. Between the cozy kitchen vibes, the dark trees rising up around the dreamhaus porch, and the dreamy summer night, Lower Allston began to feel like it belonged less to the city of Boston and more to New England, not "historic" but truly old, unknowable, heavy with secret ghosts.
A wolf-eyed girl in attendance told us that she was a shaman, or at least a shaman's apprentice. She asked us if we wanted to find our spirit animals. We did. She beat a drum, led each person down a hole in our consciousness, where something powerful could find us. I think something did.
When I came back to empty my room, I laid out a sleeping bag on the floor and played the cassettes I had picked up and felt the music melt into the creaks of my haunted home and it felt right. And after, leaving started to feel right as well.
Bad Braids' new album, Supreme Parallel, is out May 1st on Haute Magie, but you can pre-order the digital version and the CD. Supreme Parallel will be out on cassette & vinyl sometime in the future. Bad Braids and Mike Bruno are going on a month-long European tour starting May 11th.

A MAN died and two others were left with life-threatening injuries after a multi-vehicle crash on a Doncaster motorway.
Emergency services were called to the crash on the A1(M) near Marr yesterday, at about 6.10am, between junction 36, at Warmsworth, and junction 37, near Scawsby.
A South Yorkshire Police spokesman said: "A silver Vauxhall Astra was in collision with a white MAN tipper lorry on the northbound carriageway.
"The Astra then collided with the central barrier and came to rest across the inside lane of the carriageway, while the tipper pulled onto the hard shoulder.
"A green MAN tipper stopped to assist behind the Astra. A white DAF lorry was then in collision with the back of this."
The DAF driver, a 47-year-old man from Leeds, was killed, while two passengers in the vehicle suffered life-threatening injuries.
One passenger, a 58-year-old man from Redditch, Worcestershire, is being treated at Sheffield's Northern General Hospital, while the other, a 35-year-old Bedford man, is being treated at Doncaster Royal Infirmary.
The Astra driver, a 26-year-old Doncaster man, has been arrested on suspicion of dangerous driving.
The carriageway was closed for more than eight hours as a result of the collisions.
Anyone with information about the collisions is asked to call police on 101.

Food and energy costs again driving up consumer prices
By Christine Hauser New York Times / October 20, 2011
Text size – +
Consumers paid more for food and gas last month, although inflation outside those volatile categories was tame. The Labor Department says the Consumer Price Index rose 0.3 percent in September, below a 0.4 percent rise in August. Excluding food and energy, so-called core prices increased 0.1 percent, the smallest rise since March.

If all goes to plan, Batavia will be the new home of a yogurt company by next year.
The Genesee County Economic Development Center announced today that South American company Alpina Foods has agreed to build a 28,000 sq. ft. yogurt factory in the Genesee Valley Agri-Business Park in the Town of Batavia.
The investment will be $15-million, and Alpina Foods expects to create 50 jobs at the new factory.
GCEDC President Steve Hyde says the process began 9 months ago – he says it was ultimately the shovel-ready Agri-Business park that attracted Alpina.
"Shortly after we just get it ready - boom, we land a company," says Hyde. "It kind of proves that thesis that you've got to have these shovel-ready sites to cluster industries, or companies won't even come.
"They want to be ready to build and go."
Alpina Foods is an international business with commercial representation in 12 countries. According to Hyde, Alpina has 70% of the market share in the South American dairy food industry.
Alpina CEO Julian Jaramillo says the company has been planning an American expansion for quite some time. Batavia was chosen, according to a release from Jaramillo, "for its skilled workforce, proximity to milk supply...and the long standing tradition of dairy and agriculture within Western New York."
Tax incentives didn't hurt, either. Alpina will receive incentive packages from six different factions, including the GCEDC and the Town of Batavia, to build their factory here. Assistance in sealing the deal also came from the Governor's office, and the IDA's for Rochester and Buffalo.
Hyde says Alpina Foods already has some lofty projections for their future in Batavia.
"They will create 50 really nice-paying jobs...their goal is, within three-to-five years, potentially doubling that," says Hyde. "That's why they bought a ten-acre parcel: so that they've got some real footprint for future growth."
Construction is tentatively set to begin in August. Hyde expects it will take nine to ten months to complete the project. The roadway at the park must be extended to reach Alpina's parcel of land. Hyde says there are other improvements to the park that the deal is contingent upon.
The Genesee Valley Agri-Business Park is located on Route 5 in Batavia near the county fairgrounds.
ORIGINAL REPORT (9:40am)
Alpina Foods, a Bogota, Columbia company says it plans to build a 28,000 sq.ft. food manufacturing facility in Batavia.
The specialty yogurt maker says the local facility would initially create 50 jobs.
The company issued a statement saying that construction would begin in August in the Agri-business Park off of Route 5 near the county fairgrounds.
Steve Hyde, President of the Genesee County Economic Development Center confirmed this morning that Alpina plans to locate here. Hyde said eventually the company may double the size of the facility here as well as double the number of employees.
Hyde said construction could be completed within 9 to 10 months, "depending on our weather."
Hyde credited the GCEDC "regional partners" with helping to secure the Alpina deal.

Seriously thinking about a move to Hove area. Advice please!(14 Posts)
Hi there
I recently split up with OH (no chance of reconciliation) so it'll just be me and little ones potentially moving. DDs are 1 & 3.
I'm very keen to move to the area - one of my closest friends lives in Hove (& has been trying to get me to move for a while!) but must admit I'm a little scared..
I've always felt a bit like a fish out of water living in Newbury and in other areas locally, but strangely whenever I've visited B&H, I just feel like I'm coming home (..that might sound odd and I realise this might well be 'holiday syndrome'!!).
The upside is I absolutely love the area, I already have a couple of friends there, so there will be a bit of a support network (and I don't actually have any friends at all locally at the moment, though I have tried ). Also, I'm in the process of changing jobs, so I wouldn't be leaving a fantastic job behind.
Downsides are that it'll be further for ex OH to travel to see the kids (and for his family, a couple of whom are absolutely lovely), much further from my mum..approx. 2 1/2 hours (she will be heartbroken, however we have a very up and down relationship, just very different personality types really..), more expensive.
I would have jumped at the chance to move there a few years ago, but the responsibility of having LO's & thinking about their happiness makes you so much more cautious doesn't it?! And I'm a bit worried about being lonely..(though I'm incredibly lonely now in a quiet village with no friends and no partner..so much so that I've started talking to myself ALL THE TIME
Sorry for the long post, any advice or experiences or any local knowledge about Primary Schools would be very gratefully recieved x
Hi Trixie,
So sorry to hear about your split. I must say, I moved my lot here last year and the kids (and me) have never been happier. It's a great place to raise a family and the fact you already have support here is a real bonus. The best thing about living by the seaside is that you'll never be short of visitors, so I'm sure your family and your ex's family will be more than happy to visit.
I don't live in Hove (hence the name ;-) but I hear the schools are very good and it's a very family orientated area, so I'm sure you'll be absolutely fine.
I have never regretted our move for a second. So very best of luck, you won't regret it. :-))
We moved to Hove about a year ago with our two boys (now 4 and 11 months) and really like it. There are loads of kids around and quite a few things to do with them that don't cost anything (library with great storytimes, Hove Museum arts and crafts sessions, seafront, playgrounds etc). There are some good playgroups although you might have to go to a few before you find one that's a good fit.
We had no family support nearby before we moved here so that wasn't so much of a factor, but I think friends are just as valuable, especially if they have kids similar ages to yours and will be around in the day to hang out with.
Don't know too much about the schools but from the reading I've done it seems like there aren't any terrible ones in Hove - have just applied for ours so not sure yet how easy it is to get your first choice. Good luck making the decision, it's hard to decide on a move but it's really lovely here!
We're looking at moving to hove too and were hoping for some advice on areas, what is hangleton like? Also a bit concerned hove may be a bit too middle class for us as we're moving from London to try and escape that, is it terribly "yummy mummy" or is it evened out with more down to earth types? Hope that doesn't offend at all but these are the questions it's impossible to answer just by visiting an area!
Sorry also to hear about the split - hope you are ok.
Another one singing high praises of Hove here - have lived here for 2.5 years and there is a fantastic sense of community, great schools, toddler groups and parks etc. I really don't think you would be disappointed Good luck!
Emma - i guess you could say it's a bit middle class just because of the prices etc but not at all in a stuffy "yummy mummy" type way. Everyone i have met is very down to earth. Not sure about hangleton but i live in poets corner, i guess the more affordable part!
Thanks very much BrightonActually (love the name!), nightcaps, Emma & Kcubs for all the posts, all the positive information and advice is very gratefully received .
I'm still very keen still, the only resistance is from some family members (my mum..just as I thought really!) and exOH, though he has now said he may move too!
And Emma - I was thinking the same thing actually, but couldn't think of a way to phrase it...I would feel a little uncomfortable if it were 'yummy mummyish' (especially being a newly single mum & needing to work on my confidence a little) thanks for the reassurance kcubs .
Have been checking out local schools online such as St Andrews and Davigdor which do look brilliant. I really want to make the move..I just need to bite the bullet and do it!
i was a bit worried about hove being up itself, but i've found whenever i've gotten into conversation with other people (which btw i'm fairly useless at) in shops/library etc the vast majority of them have been pretty friendly.
also depending on where you're thinking of moving, might be worth looking at west hove connaught road school, it's only been going a couple of years but is an outpost of west hove infants school which is outstanding rated. its outdoor space is pretty teeny but if you're living anywhere near the sea or a park that's not too much of an issue.
Thanks nightcaps - great to hear your experience of what's it actually like.
And thanks for the info re: West Hove Connaught Rd School, I've had a look online and it all looks very good! We've got quite a bit of time to settle in before applying which helps (eldest will start school in Sept 2014).
All set for the big move in March this year...(very excited now! )
Forgot to say thanks again to everyone who posted, might see you around! x
good luck with the move - and feel free to pm me if you want an extra coffee buddy when you get here
we live on hove/hangleton border, moved over from fiveways as we wanted a proper garden etc. love it here, great community, local library etc. great schools (our daughter is at goldstone, massive playing field and outdoor space etc). you can get into town on bus in about 20/25 mins from us. have definitely noticed more young families moving in since we moved to this part of hove 3 years ago. i have heard mixed things about connaught and when we were looking we realised how important it is to actually look at school rather than just go on ofsted etc. good luck!
Hove is lovely -
there's a particularly close community feel around the Poet's Corner / Portland Road area.
the beach is also quiter than in central Brighton.
lovely big park is St Anne's Well's Gardens, so living near there could be a bonus
Good luck with the move
We moved to Hove at the end of last year and haven't regretted it for a second. It's a fantastic place to live and as other posters have said, very friendly. I'm still getting my bearings and working out where everything is, but loving it. DC love the parks and the beach and I can't see us moving from here for a very long time.

In April 2013, some of the original signers of DORA wrote to executives at Thomson Reuters to suggest ways in which it might improve its bibliometric offerings. Suggestions included replacing the flawed and frequently misused two-year Journal Impact Factor (JIF) with separate JIFs for the citable reviews and for the primary research article content of a journal; providing more transparency in Thomson Reuters' calculation of JIFs; and publishing the median value of citations per citable article in addition to the JIFs. Thomson Reuters acknowledged receipt of the letter and said, "We are carefully reviewing all the points raised and will respond as soon as possible."

Re: Proposal for Thomson Reuters to Modify the Journal Impact Factor
Dear Ms. Hollingsworth and Ms. McVeigh:
Thomson Reuters' two-year "Journal Impact Factor" (JIF) is a dominant bibliometric indicator employed by libraries, funders, research institutions, and researchers to assess the value of journals. As you know, there are a number of inherent limitations of the two-year JIF as a single metric, in particular when applied to research assessment, and Thomson Reuters has in fact launched a number of alternative metrics, such as the five-year JIF and the Eigenfactor. This is laudable.
However, since the two-year JIF remains the single metric most widely used by the research community for assessing journals, we write to make the case for correcting three inherent deficiencies in this metric: the use of a single JIF for reviews and primary research article content of journals, the lack of transparency about how the JIF is calculated, and the lack of a median value for citations per citable article.
The two-year JIF is widely misunderstood and therefore misused by the scientific community, especially in the assessment of scientists. Rather than being judged on the importance of their research papers, individual scientists are frequently judged instead by the JIF of the journals in which they have published. The JIF was never intended to be applied to the assessment of individual scientists, and the misuse of the JIF by the research community is not the fault of Thomson Reuters. Nevertheless, we believe that the organization has an obligation to make the JIF as robust, fair, and transparent as possible.
A group of editors of highly regarded journals that publish in the biomedical sciences met recently to discuss limitations of the two-year JIF and how the JIF and other metrics might be better used by the scientific community. We hope to educate the scientific community regarding the misuse of journal-specific metrics in evaluating science and scientists. At the same time, we hope that such metrics can be improved to better reflect the importance of a given journal to its field. The undersigned herewith make three suggestions to render the JIF more meaningful.
We propose that:
- Thomson Reuters replace the current JIF with separate JIFs for the citable reviews and for the primary research article content of a journal. As you know, reviews and primary research papers have rather different citation dynamics, and this can dramatically influence the overall JIF for a journal. A number of factors contribute to this difference. One is the imposition by many journals of limits to the number of allowable citations in a paper (or character/word limits that de facto limit the number of citations), which encourages authors to cite reviews as a means to bundle references to multiple papers. Another is the rapidly growing scientific publication rate, which has made it more difficult for authors to become familiar with all of the relevant primary research papers. This has led to an inflation of citations to reviews and, consequently, the loss of citations to primary research papers. As a result, the contribution of the authors of the primary papers who actually made the primary scientific discoveries is devalued, as is the rating of journals that focus mainly on publishing primary literature relative to those that publish many reviews. The publication of separate JIFs for reviews and primary research content will immediately remove the incentive for journals to manipulate the JIF by publishing more reviews. It will also ensure that credit is given where credit is due.
- Thomson Reuters provide more transparency in its calculation of these JIFs. In particular, we recommend the publication of the percentage of total citations that are to content classed as non-citable by Thomson Reuters. Although Thomson Reuters openly describes the method used to calculate the JIF from the number of citations to a paper, Thomson Reuters is less clear about how citations are counted—particularly what types of articles are counted as "citable" for a given journal (the denominator). Greater transparency would better allow journals to understand the trends in their JIF, discourage journals from manipulating or "gaming" the IF by making it more apparent that they are doing so, and provide valid means to compare the JIF to different bibliometric measures.
- Thomson Reuters publish the median value of citations per citable article in addition to the JIFs. The current JIF is a collective ratio that can be skewed by a paper that garners a disproportionate number of citations. Although we realize that there are also limitations to the median as a measure of distribution, the combination of JIF and article median would provide a more transparent indication of the distribution of citation numbers among citable articles than the JIF alone.
In our view, these proposed changes to the JIF are essential to ensure that the impact factor is a more useful measure of journal significance. We hope that you agree and look forward to your response.

I Went Vegetarian to Annoy My Mother
I recently became a vegetarian. I've tried before, but this time it's for real. I don't regret it, I'm proud of my new lifestyle, and I can see myself staying this way for a long time. Actually, that makes me think: I've not had many romantic relationships I can say the same about.
I grew up eating meat at every meal without a second thought. As recently as 2010 I scarfed sushi, bacon, succulent meat curries, and even the occasional chicken wing at a dive bar. But my relationship to the faces I imagined on my plate had become uneasy, so at the risk of shaking up my extremely food-centric social life, I decided to go full-veg. For me, that means: I still eat eggs and dairy, just not the flesh of any animal. But I won't freak out if my veggie burger is grilled next to your normal hamburger, I swear. In fact, I may enjoy the extra flavor.
Eating vegetarian is nothing revolutionary; I realize this. But a lot of people have asked me how I feel about it, what's it like, and is it difficult? So to that end, and to honor my new diet, I've decided at the six-month mark to write a list of the things I love, and do not like, about being (an octo-lavo) vegetarian.
I love to hear my mom (and other motherly types) beseech, somewhat shrilly, this question: But Where Do You Get Your PROTEIN? As if I am pumping iron day and night, or maintaining a job on the railroad, depleting my body's precious resources.
There are fewer options. Yes, in New York City, this is a pro! When a novel-length menu is narrowed to just a few, delicious-sounding veg options, I know exactly what I want.
Cheese. I love it. Being a vegetarian is an excuse for calling it a main course. (I do know that many cheeses contain rennet, which isn't exactly vegetarian. I am choosing conveniently to ignore this fact for now).
It adds another layer to things about me that make me "me." I am a conscientious eater who thinks about where my food comes from and its impact on the world.
I have become, I think, a little bit more knowledgeable about various aspects of nutrition, the industry of food production, and how eating meat affects the environment. I like sharing that knowledge.
Being a vegetarian sort of killed my food blogger career before it started.
In some ways, I can imagine dating being slightly more annoying. I like men. I like men to like me. Most men eat meat, I think.
The only kind of meat I still crave: nauseatingly, that would be… streetmeat. I can't walk by a gyro, Italian sausage, or cheesesteak cart without swooning.
I do not like turning down food offered in someone's home because of my dietary restrictions.
Sharing food is therapeutic for me. I always prefer to order a few things when I'm out with a friend or two and share plates; I find it extraordinarily comforting to break bread, as literally as possible, with the people I love. So I miss doing that with my friends who love meat.
But all in all, I'm thrilled with my decision. I have more energy–though I'm not thinner–and I never feel existentially guilty about anything I put in my tummy. (I'm still guilty calorie-wise, sometimes). If you're considering going full-veg, give it a try. Especially if it will bother your mom.
Laura with her bunny, Beulah!

"SCHOOL was never exactly enjoyable," says Coltness Academy pupil Holly Stewart, adding that she tends to sit alone at lunchtime.
In spite of gaining five As in her Highers, she said: "I never felt I could do anything."
Holly's mum Jacqueline says: "When Craig described the person he was looking for for the Polar Academy, I thought, that's Holly. He talked about people who were invisible, reserved, didn't mix well, had no ambition. Even Holly said, that's me."

Even so, Holly, who is 17 in September, was "amazed" when she was picked for the selection weekend and then for the final expedition.
Mathieson says: "Holly was a definite with every- one at the end of the selection weekend, because she thought she couldn't do anything, but her determination was incredible."
Holly is now looking forward to Greenland and feels more confident and ambitious, making plans to do zoology or marine biology at university.
She said: "Before, I didn't think anyone noticed me at all and I felt that because of that, I didn't really mean much or have to do anything in my life. But now I feel a huge sense of responsibility. I don't want to let anyone down. I don't want to let myself down most of all."

Agricultural Trade Liberalization And Strategic Environmental Policy: A Formal Analysis
This paper develops an extended general equilibrium model of international trade in order to analyze the welfare effects of agricultural trade liberalization if a large country influences its terms of trade by means of environmental policy. We derive globally optimal first-best and second-best environmental and trade policy combinations as a benchmark for assessing the trade-distorting character of strategically motivated environmental policies and demonstrate that if second-best rather than first-best policies are chosen as a benchmark the conclusions may differ not only in magnitude but also in direction. We further demonstrate that if a Pigouvian instrument is transformed into a strategic environmental policy, following trade liberalization, the global welfare effect is unambiguously positive. We thereby prove that the distorting effect of an optimal tariff is generally greater than that of a strategically motivated environmental policy.

Mets closer Bobby Parnell said he has recovered from neck surgery and expects to resume his role with the team by Opening Day.
"I'm doing very well," Parnell said Thursday on a conference call from Port St. Lucie, Fla. "I've been cleared for baseball activities. I've been throwing for several weeks now, taking it nice and easy. I'm going to resume my baseball activities as far as lifting, throwing and running down here."
Parnell, 29, had surgery Sept. 10 to repair a herniated disc. The problem originally was diagnosed as stiffness during a series against the Marlins in late July. Parnell was given anti-inflammatories and an epidural, but the discomfort persisted, and he was placed on the disabled list Aug. 6. He had 22 saves and a 2.16 ERA (1.00 WHIP), with 12 walks and 44 strikeouts in 50 innings.
"I don't feel like there's any question that I will be ready," Parnell said. "I have not been sore after throwing. Only thing I'm going to take my time with is lifting weights and getting my strength back up. Right now I feel like my arm's strong, I feel like my body's put together. [There is] plenty of time between now and Opening Day to get healthy here and get into shape."
There were reports that Parnell lost a significant amount of weight, but he disputed that, saying he never went under 195 pounds. He said he is up to a desired 207 or 208. "I never got down to 170 or anything like [that]," he said.
If Parnell is not ready for March 31 at Citi Field against the Nationals, the Mets likely will turn to Vic Black, but Parnell doesn't think that will be necessary.
"In my head, I feel like I'm still the closer," he said. "Go along with that until told otherwise. I feel healthy. I feel like there's plenty of time to get into baseball shape, so I came down early to make sure I didn't have to jump into anything too hard and I can come down and take my time. So yes, still envision myself in that same role."
Parnell, who made $1.7 million last season, is eligible for salary arbitration. Figures are to be exchanged Friday. "I'm sure something will be resolved," he said. "I'm not concerning myself too much about it, letting the agents and front office deal with that stuff."
Cervelli, Yankees agree. Catcher Francisco Cervelli and the Yankees have agreed to a one-year, $700,000 contract. Cervelli was limited to 17 games last season. He broke his right hand April 26 when hit by a foul tip off the bat of Toronto's Rajai Davis and was suspended for 50 games on Aug. 5 after the Biogenesis investigation. -- AP

Chaminade's James Brady, SJB's Chris Abruzzo score in tie
Chaminade defender James Harris couldn't help but refer to the outcome of the game yesterday as a loss.
"It was just a difficult loss. Well, a difficult tie, I mean," Harris said after a CHSAA game at home against St. John the Baptist, which ended with the score tied 1-1. "But it's pretty much just like a loss because we really wanted at least three points."
St. John the Baptist (3-1-1) didn't earn a win, yet a tie against the defending CHSAA champions on the road left players encouraged.
"It's not the result we wanted but it's almost just as good," said SJB junior Chris Abruzzo. "We've always been the underdogs and today it was good to show that Chaminade and St. Anthony's aren't the only teams that are capable in this league."
Abruzzo tied the score with 17 minutes left in the first half when he scored a goal on a blast from about 40 yards away from the net.
James Brady scored on a header from close range for Chaminade (3-0-2) just two minutes into the game. Brady believed it would be the start of something more.
"It's definitely a loss for me," Brady said. "I thought we had the game and we would pile on with three or four more but it didn't work out that way."
After what coach Michael Gallagher called a "sloppy" first half, Chaminade displayed continuity with crisper passes in the second. Yet late in the game, SJB goalkeeper Nicholas Malderella made a handful of pretty saves, preventing scores on several close shot attempts inside the final five minutes. He finished with a dozen saves.
Chaminade goalkeeper Andrew Dorritie also made a bevy of nice saves. He recorded eight.
Both teams had multiple chances to take the lead. Kieran Hall and Matthew Scorce had a few good looks late in the game for SJB, and so did Ethan Ellsworth and Brian Cruse, playing in only his second game because of an injury, for Chaminade.
As the game ended, some Chaminade players covered their faces with their jerseys as some SJB players quietly clapped to themselves.
Said Abruzzo, "It's definitely a statement for us."

Someone to Watch Over Me
Someone to Watch Over Me
Fans of Judith McNaught waited a long time for this one! In the
tradition of Sandra Brown, Julie Garwood and Catherine Coulter,
McNaught, a best-selling romance author, is now also writing clear
suspense. This is not her strongest book, though there is much here
to enjoy. McNaught's talent for strong characters holds this one
together during the opening pages when the plot is
Broadway actress Leigh Kendall planned on meeting her husband,
Logan Manning, in a mountain cabin. However she gets lost, is hit
by another car and is rescued near death. Her severe injuries do
not keep her from trying to find her husband, though, as it soon
becomes apparent that he is missing.
Logan has some secrets, but Leigh does too. A childhood
acquaintance steps in to help her when she can trust no one else
and an interesting relationship develops. Sadly, this friend is an
Italian with a prison record and is rumored to have ties to the
mob. While McNaught is possibly trying to show how unfair this
stereotyping can be, it detracts from his characterization. Another
character laboring under stereotypes is the gay Broadway
The minor characters are almost more likable than the major ones.
McNaught fans will recognize Joe O'Hara, chauffeur/bodyguard to
Matt and Meredith Farrell, running characters in her books. A
sister of another favorite character also makes an appearance.
Introduced here are Samantha Littleton and Mitchell McCord,
detectives in the Manning case. Their interaction and sparring
provide some of the most exciting moments in the book. Hopefully,
they will return to solve new cases in McNaught's books.
The villain can be spotted by the middle of the book, which is
where the action really takes off. A second tragedy is a surprise
that helps keep the pages turning toward the conclusion, which
provides satisfying endings for characters that the reader will
grow to care about.
One note: the publication delays on this book were probably not
spent on editing. A tighter plot with earlier sparks among
characters will make future McNaught thrillers even more

Adapted from a recent online discussion.
Dear Carolyn: I'm getting married soon, and I need help dealing with my mother. She has a lot of good qualities, but tends to be pretty negative (she's already let me know she doesn't like my wedding dress), criticizes when it's too late to change something and reacts badly when she feels affronted, which is often.
For example, she screamed and hung up on me when she found out a wedding detail from a cousin instead of from me and then gave me the silent treatment when I tried to apologize.
Of course, when she does these things, it makes me feel awful.
I want to share my wedding day with my mother, but I'm terrified she's going to act in a way that really hurts me right before I walk down the aisle. Is there any way I can set behavioral expectations ahead of time in a way that won't make her angry, or should I just grin and bear whatever she throws at me?
Dear Bride: You should develop a better understanding of, and emotional resilience with, your mother.
There's no "of course" in she "makes me feel awful." To see it that way is to give her power over you when you can claim that power yourself. Specifically, you can choose not to take your mom's hostility personally because all of it is about her.
Who criticizes a bride's dress? Someone who is too emotionally stunted to even be happy for her own child, that's who. (Translation: When you're the center of attention, then she can't be!) And that's some sorry stuff.
As, too, is the screaming about hearing details from a cousin (translation: "Everyone must think I'm out of the wedding loop!"), as is criticizing when it's too late to change something (translation: "I get the last word"). As is her silent treatment (translation: "Bride doesn't get what she wants till I get what I want!")
So, you needn't worry that she'll act up at your wedding; you can go straight to counting on it. But instead of being terrified, be prepared:
She will undermine you as you head down the aisle, because she has to. It's where she is, emotionally.
It will be lousy for you — since who wants that kind of crud from her own mother? — but it will be far worse for her. She doesn't find joy where humans reliably find it; she finds insecurity and anxiety. Would you want to be in her place?
You have options. You can adopt a mantra: "She does this because she's needy, and it's not about me"; or talk to a good therapist; or develop cheery responses that deflect barbs, such as, "Oh, Mother, really"; or decline to engage with absurdity.
Ideally you can combine these approaches. Just avoid the one where you try to pre-empt her attacks. That will just frustrate you and, worse, invest you in changing her behavior (which puts her in control) instead of brushing it off (which puts you in control).
Congrats, good luck and train your eyes on the good.

A veritable who's who from the poetry world gathered last week on the University of California Berkeley campus for the latest in a series of fundraisers aimed to raise money for medical costs for Dean Young, author of the numerous collections, including Elegy (a Pulitzer finalist), Skid and, the just released, Fall Higher from Copper Canyon Press.
While it might be said that a poet's heart beats a little differently than the average person, Young, 57, underwent emergency heart surgery in December and a transplant operation in April. While Young's insurance through the University of Texas at Austin covered the surgery, poet and novelist Joseph Di Prisco, chair of the Dean Young fundraising efforts, explained that Young's out-of-pocket expenses will be about $50,000 a year. Young was born with a heart defect. "The goal is to keep him alive and out of bankruptcy for as long as he lives, which we hope is a long, long time," said Di Prisco.
Working with the National Foundation for Transplants since December, and holding events in Texas, New York, North Carolina and Minnesota, so far they have raised more than $177,000.
Last week, Michael Wiegers, executive editor at Cooper Canyon, reminded those in attendance at the reading that Young's need will be annual for the rest of his life. "What we have in Dean, as many here tonight have suggested, is a love poet," said Wiegers, adding that Young searched for the beloved in everything. Then Wiegers read from a new poem Young asked him to read at the event called "Harvest."
It begins: "Bring me the heart of a trapezist./ If not, bring me the heart of a drunk monk/ that I may illuminate an ancient text/ in a language I can't understand."
Sharing the dais with Wiegers and Di Prisco were: David Breskin, W.S. Di Piero, Robert Hass, Brenda Hillman, Troy Jollimore, Dora Malech, D.A. Powell and Octavio Solis. They alternated reading Young's work with their own.
Acting as emcee, Oscar Villalon, managing editor of ZYZZYVA (which co-sponsored the event with the Squaw Valley Community of Writers), looked at the renown poets on the stage and said, "Save your programs, because no one is going to believe you."
While his heath is good, Young is not able to travel and was not at the Berkeley event, which was captured on video. A video of the New York event is posted here.
Young told PW he was "humbled, grateful to have such great friends and support from so many areas."
Di Prisco said more events around he country are in the works, and donations can be made at: www.transplants.org/donate/deanyoung. The next fundraiser to take place in Iowa City, on August 29, features authors associated with the famed Iowa Writers' Workshop.

Pure Pepto Stik is a flashy, sweet, registered Quarter Horse filly (AQHA #5,476,202). She was foaled May 2012, is 14.1 hands (and growing), 850 lbs, and has great confirmation. She's built like a TANK, will be a nice sized horse, and is ready to start! She moves nicely and is watchy!
We halter broke her using Natural Horsemanship techniques, so she truly is halter broke- she leads, has excellent ground manners, ponies, loads, backs out of the trailer, easy to catch, desensitized, picks up her feet, stands for the farrier, and loves to be groomed.... (read more)

Key elements in Elie Wiesel's pedagogical method, as observed in his University Seminars at Boston University in the 1980's and 1990's, yield useful insight into how a secular classroom draws on deeply-rooted religious elements to enable students to realize their potential as human beings regardless of the differences in their religious backgrounds and inclinations.

There is nothing comparable to the transformation of the Jewish-Christian relationship "in our times".

Of all of the Jewish holidays, the major ones that are coming up next week—Rosh Hashanah (the New Year) and Yom Kippur (the Day of Atonement)—are the most universal in their message. At the same time, they do not ignore Jewish particularism. Yet, the universalist/humanist side of these days is all too often downplayed and subdued in favor of the nationalist themes which can also be found in our prayers on these days.

Not up to my standards I expected better. You ask if I enjoyed my stay it would will not let me put Not really
Thank you so much for allowing us to stay in your condo. It was very relaxing to come "home" instead of to a holel. We came for our honeymoon! We loved being on the island! Can't wait to come back. We spent most of our time on the beach right next to the condos. Best beach and most days not crowded. We did a few tours, went to the aquarium, ate great food and walked around Lahaina. Condo is in a great area - yes windy at this time of year but other than that - PERFECT! We visited beach bums restaurant (on the harbor) many times for their great happy hour and delicious food. Our last night we decided not to do a luau, but a dinner cruise- we loved it! Great food and loved being on the water. Overall a great trip and we cannot wait until next time. Thank you again for allowing us to stay in your condo.
This is a wonderful little condo. My husband and I stayed here with our two little kids (1 and 3). It is so nice to have a bedroom for the kids and a kitchen to make most meals. Dining out is delicious and fun but expensive, so making our own food was great.
Beautiful view off the lanai, which is nicely sheltered from the wind. We had coffees out there every morning, and Coronas in the evenings!
Satellite TV and fast wifi were great for the kids (and us) too. Laundry in suite meant we went home with a suitcase full of clean clothes, unpacking has never been easier!
Really no complaints about this place. The location on the island, although windy, was so handy for exploring. We rented a car and drove everywhere. 20 minutes to Lahaina, 15 minutes to the Safeway in Kihei, you are so central, and 15 minutes from the Kahului airport as well.
Would absolutely stay here again in a heartbeat.
Mahalo for allowing us to use your fantastic condo as our home base in Maui. It had all we needed. This is our second family holiday to Maui and we still Love It! We did some new things - sunset on Haleakala; snorkeling at Molokini; Makena Big Beach, but we also did lots of our favorites - snorkeling at Makena, surfing in Lahaina; Paia; D.T Flemming and many visits to shave ice in Kihei and Beach Bums. Best of all was watching one of our own kite surfing, here where it all began.
Maui- We hope to see you again!
Aloha! Thanks to the Chengs for a great place to stay for the first half of our vacation! We are here from Chicago, Illinois to get away from school, work and unpredictable weather! We have enjoyed the Road to Hana, Iao Valley State Park, and eating at Da Kitchen! We recommend going to Beach Bums down the street for happy hour to relax and sip on Mai Tais. (everyday 3-6pm!)
CAUTION! If you are too loud at the pool after 7pm the neighbors will let you know by throwing various fruits at you (all in good fun!)
Maui Tropical Plantation is another place to walk around with great views and shops.
We hope to be back soon, now we are off to West Maui!
Condo is within walking distance to a sugary, golden 5 miles of beach, restaurants from casual to fine dining, Maui Aquarium, public transportation and family sports center that features; (mini golf, water bumper boats, extreme trampoline and rock climbing) gas, shopping and the harbor!

Engagement rings have been the ultimate symbol of love for thousands of years. In ancient Egypt, they wore rings on the third finger of the left hand to mark where the "vein of love" went directly to the heart, starting a tradition that continues today. When pledging your love with a unique engagement ring, you are starting your own family tradition. The most important value factor to consider when shopping for platinum solitaire september birthstone contemporary engagement rings is the quality of the center stone. Gemvara hand-selects top quality conflict-free gems that are expertly cut for maximum beauty. September's birthstone is sapphire, the ultimate blue gem. Gemvara also offers pink, yellow, and white sapphire for September birthstones to match every outfit. Platinum is exceptionally rare and luxurious to the touch, with a recognizable heft in your hand. Naturally white, its purity makes it hypoallergenic as well. Our unrivalled selection of engagement rings by Bijoux & Bijoux, Damon Washington, Gemvara Essentials, and other talented jewelry designers means you can find an engagement ring that perfectly symbolizes your relationship. One perfect gem, carefully selected to sparkle, takes center stage in our timeless solitaire designs. Clean platinum solitaire september birthstone contemporary engagement rings with mild dish soap: use a soft brush where dust collects. When taking off your engagement ring, don't pull on the gemstone: this won't damage the gem but it can, over time, stretch the metal that holds it in place, making the setting less secure. Be careful when removing your ring to wash your hands. Don't leave it on the rim of a sink where it can slip down the drain! Gemvara's fine quality platinum solitaire september birthstone contemporary engagement rings are designed to be passed down for generations to come, crafted by hand in the United States.

Sherrington: Why you should cheer ex-Ranger Josh Hamilton in his return
On Friday night, Josh Hamilton will make his return to Arlington as a member of the Los Angeles Angels.
Given the way his time in Texas ended -- Hamilton was booed during his final home game after going 0-for-4 -- and the less-than-complimentary things he said about the baseball culture in D-FW during the off-season, it would not be a surprise if Hamilton hears the jeers in his return. But SportsDay columnist Kevin Sherrington thinks Rangers fans ought to cheer the former AL MVP when his name is announced. Why? Watch the video below to hear his argument:

Lea Michele famously comes from an Italian background, and in her new book Brunette Ambition, she discusses some of her family's traditions.
…including one in which she basically started drinking as a toddler!
During a recent interview on Chelsea Lately, host Chelsea Handler of course couldn't help but to question the Glee star about that portion of her book, though Michele was happy to explain.
"I'm Italian, so at the dinner table it would be like Pellegrino, a jug of soda and a huge thing of wine," the singer/actress remembers (via E! News). "Everyone was just drinking wine, like it was part of what you would have along with your dinner. Growing up, I'd be having dinner with my boyfriend and his parents and I'd be like, 'Where's the wine? Pass the wine.' At like 17! And they're like, 'This girl's crazy.'"
Michele also attributes drinking casually at an early age to her not overdoing it in her later years, as she says, "When they make it so you can have it, then you don't want it. It's when they're like, 'You can't have this,' kids are like, 'We gotta get that booze.'"
What do you think about Lea Michele's mentality on casual drinking? Sound off below!

There was something I was supposed to tell you, but I forget what it is...Ah yes! Now I remember. Remember Me, that is. It's releasing this week and, over on the PlayStation Network, it's kicking off this week's list of new content as a day-one digital download.
Set in a dystopian Paris, circa 2084, Remember Me takes place in a time when humanity is constantly being monitored and our own memories are being bought and sold over the internet. Players will take on the role of Nilin, who has the ability to hack into peoples' minds in order to achieve her objectives. It sounds pretty cool, and it will be available in The Drop once the PlayStation Network updates Tuesday afternoon.
While Remember Me is all about breaking into memories in the future on the PS3 this week, Limbo, arriving on the Vita, is all about the unknown. You could say the bright-eyed character has no memories, actually, waking up in a strange land where death and more mystery waits around every corner. Quell Memento also arrives on the Vita this week, offering players dozens of slider puzzles that require contemplation and careful planning.
If you're looking to make something old new again, then you could always check out the digital version of Earth Defence Force: Insect Armageddon on the PlayStation 3, Class of Heroes 2 on the PSP, or Alfa Romeo Racing: Italiano as a PlayStation 2 classic.
These games, along with the usual batch of demos, DLC, videos and more, will be available Tuesday afternoon once the weekly PSN update goes live.
