text: I mean i know this team has responded well to not getting respect but at what point do you get respect? I was watching the KU Mizz game last night and they showed us and Texas as the two bubble teams in the B12. Some reason it just really angered me. Come on we beat K-St twice who beat Mizz and BU in their two previous games. We beat KU. Texas with their poor showing @TTech definately showed their still a bubble team but how is ISU still a bubble team. Evidently 21-8 (11-5) in the B12 31 RPI rating and 3rd in the B12 isnt good enough to be a lock.

Most Americans agree that we need healthcare reform. Adequate health care costs too much, and too many people—especially the working poor and unemployed—don't have access to the care they need.
But in the frantic rush to pass health-care reform before the August recess, Congress has cooked up a health-care reform package that should give every Christian grave concern. And I'll tell you why.
First, Congress has rejected every amendment to protect the consciences of medical providers. Doctors and nurses who refuse to participate in abortions, embryo-destructive reproduction procedures, or even so-nicely phrased "end of life services" could be forced to choose between their consciences and their careers. This is unjust and un-American. Freedom of religion, last time I checked, is still enshrined in the Constitution.
Even more ominously, forcing religious institutions—like Catholic hospitals—to perform such procedures could lead to the closing or sale of nearly 13 percent of our nation's hospitals. The effect on the health care system—and on the poor—would be devastating. As Fred Caesar of the Catholic Health Association points out, "Catholic health care providers are [often] the 'safety net' to thousands of patients in the communities they serve who cannot afford health care coverage."
Second, we have every reason to believe that the various reform plans being debated could lead to taxpayer-funded abortions. House committees have already voted down amendments specifically prohibiting abortion funding. And Congress is ready to give the secretary of Health and Human Services and other governmental bodies the authority to mandate abortion coverage.
Third, as I've said before on BreakPoint, we have to resist any so-called reforms that would lead ultimately to a government-run health care system. I can argue that, as a matter of promoting justice, ensuring access to quality health care is a proper, biblical role for government. Actually running a health care system, determining who gets what care when and for how much, is not.
Does the term "Health Choices Commissioner" send chills down your spine? One House bill would, according to the National Review, "hand over vast powers" to such a commissioner, who would be in charge of "the new bureaucracy charged with regulating basically all health insurance in America."
Frankly, the only medical choices I'm interested in are the ones I make in consultation with my doctor and my family. Not a government commissioner who, with tight budgets, could be called "Dr. Death."
Then there's fiscal responsibility. The Congressional Budget Office says the health care plans now being considered in Congress would add $1 trillion to the federal deficit over the next 10 years. Yet more debt being heaped on future generations.
So as your members of Congress and your Senators return home for their summer break, find out where they stand on these important issues. Attend a town hall meeting, write a letter, make a phone call to their local office. Be polite, but be firm.
We want reform. But anything that violates freedom of conscience, erodes the dignity of human life, or leads to a government takeover of health care cannot be called reform.

Aphorism, a concise expression of doctrine or principle or any generally accepted truth conveyed in a pithy, memorable statement. Aphorisms have been especially used in dealing with subjects that were late in developing their own principles or methodology—for example, art, agriculture, medicine, jurisprudence, and politics.
The term was first used in the Aphorisms of Hippocrates, a long series of propositions concerning the symptoms and diagnosis of disease and the art of healing and medicine. The first aphorism, which serves as a kind of introduction to the book, runs as follows:
Life is short, Art long, Occasion sudden and dangerous, Experience deceitful, and Judgment difficult. Neither is it sufficient that the physician be ready to act what is necessary to be done by him, but the sick, and the attendants and all outward necessaries must be lightly prepared and fitted for the business.
A well-known medieval collection of aphorisms is that formulated in about 1066 in Latin verse by the celebrated doctor Joannes de Meditano, giving the precepts of the medical school of Salerno. Another collection of aphorisms, also medical and also in Latin, is that of the Dutchman Hermann Boerhaave, published at Leiden in the year 1709; it gives a terse summary of the medical knowledge prevailing at the time and is of great interest to the student of the history of medicine.
Authors of maxims and aphorisms, on the contrary, strive for the brevity of inscriptions on medals and public buildings and for a diamond-like resistance to the devastation of time upon diffuse and padded writing. This form is periodically revived. In modern letters, in the latter half of the 20th century, a condensed and enigmatic sort of prose was preferred to poetry by several poets, who...READ MORE
The term was gradually applied to the principles of other fields and finally to any statement generally accepted as true, so that it is now roughly synonymous with maxim.

Bloemfontein - Three ANCYL members died when their bus overturned outside Bethlehem in the Free State, it said on Sunday.
"This is a tragedy for the nation, as these are young cadres of the ANCYL who in their commitment and dedication always responded to the activities of the ANCYL in the province and country," it said in a statement.
"The NEC [national executive committee] of the ANCYL conveys its deepest condolences to the families of the comrades... and conveys wishes for a speedy recovery to those who are still in hospital."
The provincial branch of the African National Congress Youth League said the bus was transporting members back to the Thabo Mofutsonyane region after a rally in Bethlehem on Saturday.
ER24 spokesperson Werner Vermaak said four people died and 58 others were injured in the accident.
The injured were taken to nearby hospitals.
He said the accident could have been caused by strong winds in the area.
Police spokesperson Sergeant Majang Skalkie confirmed that the bus was carrying ANCYL members. She could provide details of the fourth person killed in the crash.
I'd like to know what 'activities' these ANCYL members were always so committed to respond to ???
One thing's for sure - helping to deliver books to schools was not one of them.
Couldnt have happened to a nicer bunch of people...."off to the big farm with a mine on it for mahala" in the sky...i wonder how long til they demand free sh1t from their god? And how long til they pull the race card? And cry victiiim for a heavenly struggle they missed by 30 years yet feel they need a gravy train for their "contribution" and spilt blood to yet again undermine the actual struggle their fathers and grandfathers pushed through. Rip ancyl...
This is truly terrible - when I read the article I burst into tears. Horrible, horibble news - I cannot believe the tragedy that only 4 died when there were 62 that could have been killed....
Reading these responses it is heartbreaking to see how much hate some people harbour. 4 South Africans have lost their lives. Have a little respect.
@curry - yeah like these numbskulls would show any respect for the 2000+ farmers (white) that have been killed so far...
With all due respect (and there is respect) I send my condolences to the families of the deceased - however, there was nothing special about their lives - in fact being part of the youth league today is a disgrace to South Africa, a disgrace to our freedom of speech, a disgrace to helping the poor and a disgrace to being a patriotic South African.
Patriotic South Africans are those that go to work each day, pay taxes and make this country a better place. Fighting for freedom while we have had freedom for almost twenty years is a scandal and a waste of petrol for these buses.
The ANCYL is nothing less then a group of thugs, which are hungry for power & money – it is a shame these young youth's lives were not put into more constructive effort for South Africa.
Okay you win, there is a God.
lol, be nice now
...and He doesn't pay in rands and cents. Pity?
good for you jason until your house is taken lol
This statement says a lot about you,Jason...it shows just how much materialistic you are,moron. People have lost their lives and the foremost thing you can think of is a house?..gee man,you're disgusting.
Justin,I meant to say.Sorry, Jason.
You still thick lol
4 People have died....lets stop hating so much....we shud be sensible to the death of any individual.... where is the love...my south africans?
are you on crack? the ANCYL is a bunch of retards!
HEY EVERYONE!!! Do you remember how enraged you were when some people were nasty about the farmer who died of rabies and someone else was murdered? Just cool it now!!! We are all entitled to vote for whoever we like and to be really disappointed in the performance of the ruling party and its people BUT show a bit of moral decency here. Some people have been killed, there are mothers, fathers, wives, husbands, kids - all grieving tonight, give them so space...............ok?
Show your sympathy to the many farmers family that have been murdered by the very scum of the earth and most of them hateful ANC scumbags.
@ ALL ANC/ANCYL WANKERS - rejoice in your corrupt & inept government and the sh*thole that is the current South Africa. Like the ANC, our roads are disintegrating, 60% of national & provincial roads are in poor or very poor condition, compared to 22% in 1998. High time you hold the ANC responsible & accountable for the road deaths which costs the SA economy R58bn each year. With 15000 fatalities & several hundred thousand injuries every year on our roads, the three ANCYL members are just another statistic. Blue lights VIP have killed more.
The major contributing factors of unnatural deaths in SA are thanks to the stupid practice of affirmative action and ANC corruption & stupidity. If your ANC want to appoint friends & family or idiots in positions of power & influence, by skin colour, who are unskilled, not qualified, have no ability, no work ethic, no training, no experience & no moral fibre, that's your problem, live with it. Expect more of your beloved comrades to die on the country's deteriorating roads because the ANC are never going to get serious about road maintenance or infrastructure. Anyone who believes otherwise or that the ANC is going to turn over a new forrest, is living in LaLa land.
Dont expect the political rhetoric and self enrichment to stop either. There is no political will to rectify the situation (lip service does not count), a fish always rots from the head. The ANC is not here to serve the people, they are here to steal & accept bribes!
opinionhater, The ANCYL is a group of confused and vulnerable people ready to be brainwashed by their leaders, I don't think it's fair to blame the ANCYL as a whole, they are a product of a bad ruling party...you may remember that most white people were also brainwashed to confuse patriotism with racism...the ones that should be despised are all individuals in this country who think money will bring them happiness and step on each other to get it, the ones who think they should not be held accountable for their actions...we should remember that the promise of riches and fame blinds rational judgement, it's no excuse of course...but instead of hating until you're on the edge of killing, getting them to realize how blind they have been and welcoming them as fellow south africans is a long term solution that is much more progressive for the whole of society and well-being of our country...
the "love" was dropped somewhere among all the corruption and flaming stupidity. The "love" was dropped when the systematic genocide of farmers began. Premeditated, with full knowledge of the government, and with NOTHING being done about it.
The love was lost sometime soon after Shaik walked free, soon after the animals who run our country sold us out to the arms dealers, to the toll road operators, to China. We COULD have had a bit of extra love, but the Dalai Lama was barred - TWICE - from coming to SA.
Zuma et al have stolen all the love. You want love? go get it from the ANC - they have everything - even the 7 jobs I cannot even apply for because I'm not black. And, lastly, there is no love, because it has been nationalised.
Im trying to figure out how this is a national tragedy? Should we be driving with our lights on, flags half-mask? I think not! This isnt my tragedy!
good one Lynn
Thanks Michael - I mean't half mast. I'm sure it does not detract from my reply though.
@Lynn, maybe halfspear will do it, but half mast, not in million years, pity that the whole lot of idiots did not all die at once!
This ACT OF GOD should make you all feel o so tiny. ancyl God is bigger than you , remember that. and all who read this. God is bigger than you. you are so small and so tiny. Go hears our prayers. He is going to stop the ancyl dead in their tracks.
@ black dude -- payback is a bitch isnt it
Dont associate God with evil! You are evil Catherine period. Your prayers was answered by Satan.
as long as they are answered right?
now that's why i don't believe in man's GOD cos of people like you... Catherine stay away from computers i heard evil mediums make you write stupid things, i dislike the ANCYL but to say that come on you more of a sheep than what they are!!!!
This BITE OF DOG should make you all feel o so tiny. ancyl Dog is bigger than you , remember that. and all who read this. Dog is bigger than you. you are so small and so tiny. Go hears our barking. blah blah etc etc.
do you know what fundementalism is Balstrome? Please don't be disrespectful against other Christians who don't share the same dumb and confused reasoning as Catherine's...
The bus driver must be fully investigated
@domzahir, i want to give that driver a case of bells!
Why Zahir, do you think he might be a AWB member under cover?
That's so sad kengo
Why does them being ANYCL members make this a tragedy?... its a tragedy that people died, full stop. Them being ANCYL members is irrelevant.
rest in peace combrade
@DOMMURAVHA, rest in peace your idiot!
Dammit Muravha, you missed the bus!!!!
We all know the problems that we suffer under the rule of the ANC government but please let us not forget that those that died in this bus crash could have been your sister,your mother etc involved in another accident. Would you like it if people passed on these kinds of remarks. Yes we do not like the organization bt let us feel sympathy towards the loved ones of those that were lost
Those 'loved ones' make up the organisation, so sorry, no can do.
Irene. Have some sense please.
Irene, just as you "make up" (sadly)the white race in this country. Stop drinking whatever you've had for breakfast. I'm really tired of your racist comments on this platform.
Have respect and compassion because you don't know what is around the corner for yourself.
@DOMAYANDA, My family does not get stupid dumb drivers to drive them around.They are so clever as to drive themselve. Maybe they should have asked the ministas death blue brigade to have driven them, I am 100% sure that alot more if not all would have died!
@iceberg.standard - what goes around, comes around. For years the ANCYL members have been calling for the murder of white farmers, karma is a biatch!
give those strong winds a bells
I don't like the ANCYL but no one deserves to die like that
@Cassandra, stop being naive, you think these bastards give a rat ass by how old farmers and defenceless woman and children are murdered and rape. To me this is still too soft on them, if they should die I wish they way they must, believe, they will run to hell without being dead!
Why Cassandra, do they deserve to die brutally on a farm maybe?
all whites move to cpt we half the country in half lets see how long durban and jhb last they will come begging
Guys we are talking about people's lives here. Families are grieving for their loved one, and all we can think is racism n politicians. Please guys lets leave those two things aside just for a while. May their soul rest in peace.
Yes and there are farmers families that are also grieving....
Thing is, farmers actually provide for the country. What did these cretin contribute?
You are right, Patrick. Lynn - two wrongs don't make a right. If we don't stop this mutual hatewe are in serious trouble. Dead is dead. Tackle the ball, not the man.
@Tania, but it is idiot men that handle the ball.
So you guys turn everything into a race issue?...even death?, *damn
really? pot calling kettle black
National tragedy? Please elaborate? Is the economy gonna collapse?
@Douglas, yes to them it is because it means less domrades to steal and pluner the country, less domrades to give tenders too and less domrades to incite violence and hate!
A national tragedy is that the government is defrauding itself of at least R30bn a year, 60 people are being murdered every day, 5 Yr old girls are being raped, girls re gang raped on a video and then they are released for a lack of evidence.. Poverty is increasing contrary to popular belief... That is a national tragedy not 3 people that have died.. It is sad i anyone dies but seriously this is not a national tragedy unless we live in different countries is the reporter really so bored to have to write stories like this please do some real journalism and stop wasting our time and MB with crap...
So? Are they dead because of the road we white people brought to this barren land? or is it because of the taxi... Likely paid for with stolen money? \r\n\r\nNo? So, it can then only be the very rassist spell of weather we had then there... Yea... What else?
So yal r making everything about racism?May their souls rest in peace
@DOMOTJIE, Maybe you now rest in peace after you come and display your non text book DOMPOPO education here on a platform for intellectual people!
May they RIP. Its not nice to celebrate anybody's death, and to those who want to justify it by saying 'they started it first', that makes you no better than them. if you want to claim you are better than them, why act like them. The comments just fuel their fire of hate and a lot of innocent people may get hurt.
Lynn, with all the hate in your heart you will also be troubled for eternity. Seriously, try and pull yourself from that cesspool of hate you are swimming in.
It's Monday, go for a walk, get off the internet and find something uplifting for your spirit.
Imagine just for a moment, living in a shack in a squater camp somewhere. Then community leaders invite you to join them on a bus trip to a nearby town. To me that sounds like a chance I'll grab in order to escape my bleak circumstances - even if just for a day, NO MATTER WHAT THE CAUSE I have to support.
Have compassion. Have respect. And be thankful.
@Iceberg, leaders inviting you to join them on a bus trip to do what? incite violence and hatred with a promise of free land, free house and non existant economic freedom. Well, you decide do you want to free or do you want to stay DOM!
Nicolaas, that's not the point. You don't know for sure all of the people on that bus went to Bethlehem for the rally. If I lived in a shack in the Mofutsonyane region I will also grab this oportunity to visit Bethlehem for a change in scenery. Seriously, you can't make these assumptions as fact.
According to News24 they went to a "rally" - a rally is a "Public meeting" or "Get together" an "assembly" or "convention". Nowhere does it say they were protesting or causing havock in Bethlehem.
Now some of the passengers died on their way back. All I'm asking is that you have respect. Clearly you have never lost a child, brother or sister to death. If you had, you might just felt differently.
Who votes Malusi off this site,im going to report this person just like i did with the other sicko.
Im with you Mike!
I am with You Mike. That bastard threatening woman as well.
Agreed, Chikunga. These comments are sick. Living on a Farm, I don't think these armchair racists have any idea what they are fuelling. As one silly little racist said: "Why on earth do they live on a farm if they know it is so dangerous?" We don't have to love the ANCYL, but they are still fellow SA's. However misguided, and misled. They are people, like us. Never dance on a grave - you will dance into yours.
Some of you with these negative comments are actually the reason for this racial tension in the country. You should die rather. The ANCYL is rather sh*ty but speaking ill of the dead like this. Shame on you. There really has to be more to life than the ANCYL
One thing to remember people, two wrongs don't make a right, the ANC doesn't care what happens, they play their agenda very well, blaming everything on race, and the moment when you believe that, is the moment you lose all sense and rational thinking, whether you are black,white,green or purple...extremes are not the way to go people..and neither is vengeance...it amounts to absolutely nothing except more inhumanity, so look into you hearts and realize that none of you are animals and that you CAN be rational and mature...doing that would make you a better person...we all feel anger,hate and pain..but how we react on it is what defines us people and makes us different from animals...
Very nice thank you for bringing us back to earth..
I take exception to you depicting anger, hate, vengeance as animalistic. Animals are part of this planet as we are, they act on instinct, they kill only to feed, and the domesticated ones protect, guide and are our best friends. They are incapable of causing untold human suffering, we do it to them. So rightly so humans beings are the ones that harbour hate and bitterness to each other, not animals!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Tasmee, I meant we have a choice, animals don't, as you said, they act according to their instinct and can't be blamed for it, humans on the other hand can be held accountable for what they do because the always have a choice...anger in an animal, whether it's out of defense or predatorial, its part of their nature. What makes us human is the ability to not act on anger or forgive...
@ jackie.stone.501. When you hate me its just OK but when i hate you and what you stand for i am a racist. The fact is racism will be alive until the likes of you forget the word.
ANCYL spreads racist propaganda and now I'm meant to feel sorry? - - - KARMA is a BITCH ----
Yes please how is it a tragedy for the natiion? Dont speak for me please. Malema wasnt on the bus nor his new crony, so......
This is certainly NOT a national tragedy & feel feathers for the ANCYL!!!! This is aNother 4 people killed on the SA roads this weekend along with around 20 others. This is an horrible accident, very sad so many die at the hands of taxis & drunk drivers & non road worthy vehicles - my condolences & sympathies go out to all the families grieving this weekend as well as all those still mourning their lost loved ones every day other preceeding today.
why dont ppl go back where ever u come 4rm if u dont like it here in SA.we love it,beautiful weather,no natural disasters like where u come 4rm,no suicide bombers,etc.
Tornado in kestel...
Flooding, lightening strikes, drought and over-breeding... no, there definitely are NO natural disasters.
@DOMMIKIZHE, A natural disaster happened after THE ALL NATIONAL CRIMINAL PARTY recalled Thabo Mbeki and replaced him with an excuse of a human being called Jacob, not so regop the spear ZUMA!
wow...celebrating the death of these lost lives..happy that they are dead and black..and also that they were members of ancyl....what a sick society we live in...it might not be a national tragedy but please have respect for the dead...there's nothing exciting about the death of this fellow humans...its a tragedy.....my sincere and deepest condolences to their famalies....may their souls rest in peace
Personally I am worried that Racism is still so rife in this country , the speed at which social cohesion is reversed by comments on this forum is alarming.Many of us thought the struggle against apartheid was over, that the country would move forward with all the politicians dealing with political matters in parliament (Black , White , Brown , Pink together ) . Carry on like this and you are going to see a two thirds majority for the ruling party , people were starting to forget and you just bring it all back.Sincere condolences go out to the grieving families irrespective of political affiliation.
This hatred has been carefully cultivated by the ANC and it's allies. We need to be strong and resist what they are doing to us, but I must give them credit, we are already a very poisoned bunch. I think I may be beyond repair already ... too many freinds raped, murdered, assaulted, too many things broken ... but I'm trying to be strong.
Itjoo Chub u give ANC so many points even when they r not responsible. No ANC member was brought up to hate fellow human beings bcos of their skin color. The only mistake they hav committed is to take a way the liabilities of the oppressive system n left its assets! Sam ppl mara!
Hey people please !!! People have died ....show some sypathy...What if it eas YOU!
Iwas saying What if it WAS you
i wouldnt know i would be dead
Sharon, Freda is trying to say, what if you were the parent with a dead child this morning or a sister with a dead brother?
So much 'hatred' - WHY. This was an unfortunate accident - black or white - ANC or DA. This is why this country will never 'succeed'....
Thank you lord
You are evil thats why you even write Lord with small l.
Well they are not friends nor family of mine, it is not a loss to the SA Nation but only to there families. Pity Malema was'nt on the bus
I wish the injured speedy recovery and bahlokahetseng, moya wabona o phomòle ka kgotso. ivangeli yeECONOMIC FREEDOM usaqhubeka apho nishiye khona.maQhawe!
To all those who are happy wait until it happens to your loved ones.I understand why you dont show any remorse because realy why would you feel anything if you have never been in a loss situation.
Maybe if you have lost a loved one on a farm attack you would understand too,you idiot ancyl dont give a crap....die you idiot die.
Johan i expect you to understand even more because you sound like you have been in that situation. I repeat my words wait until it hits home!
Its a true reflection of where we are in terms of mindset puse. This mindset has been taught by the ANC and its allies. Sorry, it worked. We're over the edge. Well done ANC - now we just need to see where we all end up - I'm not sure if it will be a good place...
Back from where.....probably a farm attack! Good riddance!
I neva knew dat some white ppl hate black ppl like dat til i started reading news24, ant de black ppl suppose to be de ones hu hate de white de white bcos of appartent, wat is dis so much hatred for, i dnt andastand, i work wit white guys n dey r great, i wonder wer dis ada ones comes from
Same here! Sad reality neh? If feel like we are one accident away from falling apart
@ Prince, if that had been 3 DA Youth members who had died how much space would News24 have devoted to the story? Probably nothing..... I think that the political affiliation of the deceased and victims is not news or newsworthy because of their politics but rather because the loss of any young lives is tragic and a waste... News24 are indulging in sensationalist rubbish and the Youth League are trying to make cheap political mileage out of the tragic deaths of 3 young South Africans Sies!
the wind is racist and an imperialist!!!!
Bloody wind bastard!
Why didn't Malema take that bus :(
Mr editor why erase my comment? Are you one of the dromedaris?
how is this article important? do they intend on reporting about DA members dying as well?
A tragedy to the nation is the fact that school books are being destroyed in Limpopo while kids are half way through their school year without any books to learn from.
Three people dying is sad to those families affected but never ever a tragedy to the nation!!
Never voted for the ANC, but I'm seriously considering doing it after all these comments! shocked beyond measure.
The filth ,racism, prejudice, hate, anger and need for Revenge by death or murder express in the response to the death of 3 ANC youth league members who died in bus accident over the weekend is not shocking but for me pose a threat to our collective future. So to all my friends who is still in denial about a very serious potential violent outburst in our country I say wake up We must take our responses to what happen around us more serious. And for me this \War\ will be about (poverty, unemployment, land, and yes White on Black violence/racism). So \we\ need to measure ourselves in what we do or say. What is worst is there are No one in the current collective political leadership or leaders that might be able to stop such an explosion of \war\. Sorry but for me no leader Black or White commands such respect or control over the masses unlike a Madiba or Hani. God help us that this day or such a day never/not happen. I hope media 24 take notice of what are said in the name of freedom. We don't need court action to stop people its way beyond that. Tell me I'm a preacher of doom and I tell u about 76 and 1985.
lol jissie.
i saw more simpathy expressed for a snake in a washing machine than this guy.
I won`t be attending their funeral but I will send a nice letter saying I approve of it.

Plastic Fantastic
The color of money on Canal Street in Nashua, N.H., is tangerine one day and magenta the next. It's there, in a 20,000-square-foot converted luggage factory, that artist Mary Boone Wellington has built a highly profitable business from one of her creations: sturdy sheets of tinted plastic used in retail displays, chi-chi restaurant ceilings, and avant-garde corporate boardrooms.
Wellington makes the translucent material, called LightBlocks, using a patented technique that treats and colors sheets of acrylic or polycarbonate to form a pliable plastic that is nearly impossible to scratch and, when backlit, seems to glow. "When a designer holds a piece in their hand, they often get a dreamy look as though it's catalyzing some inspiration," says Wellington. "It just seems to spark off a lot of new concepts."
Sales are pretty bright, too. Six-year-old M.B. Wellington Studio had revenues of $3 million in 2004, up from about $1.5 million the previous year. Wellington's portfolio includes IBM's eBusiness offices, Discovery Channel stores, and Los Angeles' Beverly Center shopping mall. She has just signed contracts with Hilton, Sony, AOL, and BMW.
The 55-year-old Wellington, who once studied under Siddha yoga teacher Swami Muktananda, peppers talk about polymers with her spiritual philosophies. But she shatters the stereotype that artists don't make good businesspeople. In the 1990s she sold about 1,100 of her oil paintings in four years. "I had 25 dealers selling my art," recalls Wellington. "The perception is that artists are flaky. But I would get things done, so I would get the commissions."
It was a commission that led her to LightBlocks. In 1998 the city of Flagstaff, Ariz., hired Wellington to build a 75-by-45-foot solar calendar along Route 66, consisting of 12 colored towers that would glow at dusk. She couldn't find the right material, as existing plastics came in limited colors and easily faded and scratched. Wellington had no formal science training, but she began researching polymers, touring plastics factories, and thumbing through textbooks. After plenty of trial and error, and $14,000 of her own money on top of the $50,000 commission, Wellington hit upon a process to give plastic the quality she wanted. She patented it in May, 2003.
Right away, she knew LightBlocks were different. "I'd been selling stuff for a long time, but no one raved about things they way they did about LightBlocks," she says. Wellington sent product samples to 100 top architectural firms. The result was a 33% order rate. "That was phenomenal. I had heard that a 2% response rate was good," she says.
One of those orders came from fellow Philadelphia University of the Arts alum Ron Pompei, whose New York firm Pompei AD used LightBlocks in the design of Discovery Channel's flagship store in Washington, D.C. "One of the most subtle things about LightBlocks is the way light goes through it," says Pompei. "She has applied an artistic process to something you'd use in an automated or industrial setting. It's not arts and crafts, and it's not industrial. It holds a great middle ground."
In 2000, IBM wanted LightBlocks for offices in three cities -- in two months. Wellington hustled to expand her six-person staff by hiring 10 temps and moved from her tiny studio to her current space. Since that success, dozens of corporate offices -- and the future of Wellington's studio -- have been looking a lot brighter.

Hollywood and AI
What the advent of robotics means for our cultural world
In our innovation-obsessed society, there's a lot of talk about automation, about robots, about the end of jobs and of supercomputers. This is the adoption of technology as corporate tools. Elon Musk has been in the news recently saying the same thing he said a few months ago, talking darkly about Terminator and the dangers of artificial intelligence. This is the science fiction of human disaster films.
A year of robots
At the end of this month in London, the BFI will screen the showpiece to its Sci-fi season, 2001: A Space Odyssey. Kubrick's masterpiece is probably the most iconic exploration of the human perils of developing artificial intelligence. It is a pertinent choice for this season, given the coverage afforded the issue in mainstream cinema.
The first half of 2014 welcomed Her and Transcendence. The coming months will see Alex Garland's Ex Machina and Neill Blomkamp's Chappie. All, in different ways, explore our relationship with AI. The conventional understanding of Her is a romantic tale of a man who falls in love with his OS (although it's more a rebirth or overcoming the monster story, if you subscribe to Booker's schema); Transcendence is a cautionary tale about Kurzweil-esque Singularity; Ex Machina and Chappie appear to examine our uneasy relationship with superintelligence, collectively and individually (Blomkamp's, naturally, looks at our propensity to segregate what we fear).
Having more supercomputers in film is not interesting in itself. Rather, it is interesting that Hollywood insists on the anthropomorphosis of their robot protagonists, choosing implausible portrayals of otherwise plausible storylines.
Are film robots made more human to warn us of the implications of AI, or to confuse us?
Moravec's paradox asserts that when it comes to AI, the hard problems are easy and the easy problems hard. More specifically it states that, contrary to conventional assumptions about robotics and AI, "it is comparatively easy to make computers exhibit adult level performance on intelligence tests or playing checkers, and difficult or impossible to give them the skills of a one-year-old when it comes to perception and mobility." In short, Google can now – extraordinarily- recognise pizzas, but C-3PO is still quite a way off, let alone Kubrick's Hal or Spielberg's David from AI.
It is understandable that films try to make machines seem more lifelike, more human. It allows us to look at man vs. machine, loneliness and segregation as part of a socio-technological discussion, of course very relevant to our lives today.
The real world does the opposite, and tries to make us more robotic. It does not take a particularly hard look to see that Apple is not about humanising technology, but automating humanity. Similarly, it isn't the world's information Google is organising to make accessible and useful, but us. We see the effects in the most mundane aspects of our lives in the real world, beautifully illustrated here by our homogenous, robotic, physical behaviours. We also see the effects in our personalised, predictable and hyperreal digital lives.
How film reflects our world
In a fascinating book, the film critic James Hoberman shows how the aftermath of 9/11 saw a huge surge in popularity in films with high body counts "to capitalize on the nation's new bellicosity"(although, interestingly, just two weeks after 9/11, President Bush urged Americans in an act of defiance to "get down to Disney World", the utopian hyperreality). Black Hawk Down was rushed into cinemas early, Collateral Damage, We Were Soldiers, The Sum of All Fears and Attack of the Clones all came out in spring 2002, to greater success and marketing than envisaged. The political, social and corporate context at the time forced a response in culture (normally this happens the other way around); but the story of war is a more straightforward one to tell on screen.
One might wonder whether the current swathe of films examining AI is performing a similar function. Rather than reflect a wounded and angry country in the aftermath of a shocking attack, films – like us - are grappling with the more complex ramifications of the information age. In a post-Snowden, post-Wikileaks, post-Matrix era of Facebook and drone delivery, these films are trying to create powerful human stories instead of the mundane, everyday deference we show to automation. It may be less cinematic, but is no less significant.

"Gynae and ear nose and throat"
About: Ormskirk & District General Hospital / General surgery Ormskirk & District General Hospital General surgery L39 2AZ Southport & Formby District General Hospital / General surgery Southport & Formby District General Hospital General surgery PR8 6PN Southport & Formby District General Hospital / Gynaecology Southport & Formby District General Hospital Gynaecology PR8 6PN
Posted by Gisele (as ),
I have recently had a hysterectomy in E ward at Ormskirk hospital and one cannot complain about any of the experience where the medical care is concerned.
From the beginning I did not have to wait long for the operation or previous outpatient appointments and the care on the ward was excellent.
In contrast, although the medical staff were just as caring when it came to a small operation at Ear, Nose and Throat about 18 months ago (the actual surgery was also done at Ormskirk Hospital), the experience at the outpatient appointments at Southport were quite stressfull.
I have had 3 appointments cancelled and have had to wait months for them. At one of them I had to wait about 2 hours as the appointments had been double booked. What is going on in this department?
Generally I think the Southport and Ormskirk District Hospitals have improved a lot, particularly for cleanliness.

Rusedski's lawyers confine drugs agency to sidelines
GREG RUSEDSKI and the legal team defending him in Montreal on Monday against the drugs charge that could end his career have banned representatives of the World Anti-Doping Agency (Wada), from observing the hearing.
Wada said that it accepts the decision "with regret" and though it does seem strange, given the pleas of innocence by the British No 2, the agency's recent pronouncement of disquiet at the procedures that led to the acquittal of seven players who had tested positive for nandrolone, the anabolic steroid, between August 2002 and May 2003, may have unnerved the Rusedski team, who are expected to use the verdicts as a basis to establish their client's innocence. Rusedski tested positive for nandrolone at the RCA Championships in Indianapolis in July.

12:41 PM - July 27, 2015 by Steve_OS
The NHL 16 EASHL beta starts on July 30 and runs through August 6 for those that own NHL 15 on Xbox One and PS4. Today EA also revealed what the strengths and weaknesses will be of all the playable classes.
Again, the big change this year will be that all the classes will have baked-in attributes that are locked and can't be leveled up. So this beta will serve as another way to test the classes and provide feedback (when it opens) to the NHL development team before NHL 16 launches in September.
Below you can find the strengths and weaknesses of the assorted classes:
- The perfect class for when you need some scoring touch inserted into your lineup. Snipers have strong shooting abilities.
- Lack physical strength and will depend on teammates to create space and scoring chances.
- Below average defensive skill.
- Excellent balance and strong on the puck. An effective player class for those who use the cycle game.
- A physical player that uses strength to open space for other teammates.
- Heavy slap shot.
- Average shot accuracy.
- Top-end passing skill. The best choice for the EASHL player who likes to set up their teammates and create scoring chances.
- Good puck control helps this class keep possession of the puck while teammates look to get open for a scoring chance.
- Lacks physical strength and can get knocked off the puck by stronger opponents.
- Average shot accuracy. This class should always look to make the pass before shooting.
- Average defensive skills.
- High rated physical skills. This class works well for players who like to engage in the physical side of the game – including puck battles, shot blocking or deliver crushing hits.
- With a strong hand-eye rating, this class will have a higher chance at deflections in front of opposing goalies.
- Below average shooting and puck skills. Needs to keep things simple on the offensive side of the puck.
- An imposing force with top rated physical skills. Can easily knock the puck off opponents by using checking skills.
- Top rated fighting skills that can help energize the team.
- Poor shooting and puck skills.
- Strong but not skilled.
- Has elements of both a playmaker and a grinder. An excellent player class for those who deploy a balanced attack strategy.
- Uses defensive skills to win puck battles and create turnovers which help the team in the transition game.
- Good passing skills which allow this class to set up teammates.
- Good transition game but doesn't excel on the offensive side of the puck compared to other classes.
- This class needs to keep their play simple on offense as they lack deking ability.
- This class provides a good balance of offense and defense from the blue line. They are an excellent player class for those who deploy a balanced attack strategy.
- Good at the transition game causing turnovers and getting a solid first pass out of the defensive zone.
- Average shooting.
- Average puck control.
- A good choice for those who want to generate offense from the back-end or are looking for a power play quarterback.
- Great shooting accuracy from the point.
- Great passing in all situations.
- Lack physical skills on offense and can get knocked off the puck more easily than the average player class.
- Lacks physical skill on defense and will have trouble stopping opponents along the boards or in front of the net.
- The perfect choice for when you want to shut down your opponent.
- High rated physical and checking attributes.
- Heavy shot from the point.
- Average puck skills. This class can make simple breakout passes, but don't expect them to act as a playmaker.
- Low shooting accuracy.
- Covers the bottom part of the net utilizing the popular butterfly style.
- Strong rebound control.
- More vulnerable to high shots going into the top corners.
- A style that might be rare in today's game, but could be extremely effective in EASHL. Covers the top part of the net more effectively.
- Can see over screens with a higher vision rating.
- Strong passing and puck playing ability that can help your team breakout of the defensive zone.
- More susceptible to low shots that go along the ice.
- Average goalie skill across the board. This goalie class is perfect for the player that like to mix up their playing style as the game goes on.
- No major weaknesses.

In a small ceremony on June 26, Gary Williams handed over the district chains to newly appointed district governor for the lower South Island Jonathan Usher.
Former district governor Mr Williams, of the Dunedin South club, said it took three years of organisation and leadership training to prepare for the position, which was handed over to a new candidate annually.
''Jonathan started his journey two to three years ago.
''If you're on the district governor train, then you know your successors,'' he said.
He said he had achieved a great sense of satisfaction during his time as district governor.
A particular achievement from the past year was raising money for the Rotary Children's Ward at Dunedin Hospital through the Carisbrook Project, in which Rotary clubs sold off mementos of the former sports ground: turf, goal posts and seats.
''It was a collaboration between the Dunedin area clubs.
''We raised quarter of a million dollars to put into the children's ward.''
Mr Usher, who has been with Dunedin Rotary Club since 1997, said he was happy to be taking over the role, acting on behalf of 30 rotary clubs from the Rangitata River southwards. He had been to his first project as district governor on June 29.
''Some young prospective Rotarians ran a rubber duck race in Queenstown, raising $16,000 for resources to continue cleaning up the beach area,'' he said.
Having the opportunity to meet members of all the clubs was something he was particularly looking forward to.
''We don't just do projects here [in Dunedin].
''We're also trying to encourage new people to get involved,'' he said.
It was good the district governor was changed annually, as it meant new people could come in and bring different ideas and experience to the table, he said.

About 100 supporters of senatorial candidate Kamala Harris waited outside of the Long Beach Democratic headquarters at Pine Avenue and 4th Street Monday afternoon for a chance to see the candidate herself, as she made a few final stops on the campaign trail.
"I am here to ask my Long Beach family to please keep doing what you've been doing, but over these next 24 plus hours do twice as much to make sure we get everyone we know to the polls," Harris said.
From selfies and pictures to interacting with voters, Kamala Harris called each of her supporters a leader. She encouraged them not to celebrate, but instead to take leadership by getting those, who believe their voice doesn't matter, to vote tomorrow.
"There is so much at stake in this election," she said as she started to discuss how the country's founding ideals have been attacked.
The election is challenging each person to stand by what he or she believes in, but regardless, California will still be that place where the rest of the country looks to see an example of change, she said.
"California role of leadership in this moment of time with so many issues, but I am going to name two—gun control and immigration," she said.
Offensive leaders are almost getting away by conflating criminal justice policies with immigration policies, saying they are the same, but they are separate problems with different solutions, she said.
"An undocumented immigrant is not a criminal," Harris said. "[...] and if you need an assault weapon to go hunting, you need to go back to hunting school."
She said that guns can be a tool used for the violence of human destruction, emphasizing the need to create reasonable gun safety laws, as exemplified by the state's approval of legislation requiring background checks before the purchase of a gun.
Harris, who was accompanied by Mayor Robert Garcia, visited Long Beach during a four-stop campaign tour in Southern California, which included San Diego, Anaheim and the University of Southern California (USC).
"It is great to be in a room filled with people that believe in inequality, that believe in fighting for women and that believe that those who need our help-- for seniors, for veterans," Garcia said.
"Long Beach is a jewel of our states-- always has been, always will be," Harris said. "I can see all the thriving small businesses that are here that he [Garcia] has been supporting, so I can see the port and talk about the needs of more resources and attention and the need we have in this region to focus on the jobs that are connected with the port."
Harris asked Garcia if he is elected to be an advisor to her, to advise her about the issues that challenges the cities in the state.
"We are all going to come out tomorrow, and vote blue," Garcia said.

Happy Monday ya'll! I hope you had a great day and start to the new week. My boys are getting so excited now that they see the end of school is near. I am getting excited too as that means no wake up alarms and I can take my time in the mornings! Most of my day was spent completing another Japanese-inspired bucket tote. I have a few fabrics set out to make more for my shop, but something about {Read More}

Menu Monday's ~ What's on Your Menu?
Happy Monday everyone! I hope you had a nice relaxing weekend with friends and family. This weekend was the annual Boy Scout Pinewood Derby for our pack. We only had two of the boys participate this year. Z is a Webelo now and while he didn't place, he loved his monster-truck interpretation. Youngest will be a Tiger Cub next year so he participated in the Sibling Division. And wouldn't you know my boy won his division! He was so excited {Read More}

Happy Monday everyone! I hope you had a nice relaxing weekend. M had the weekend off so we had some good quality time with him. We took advantage of the warm weather to do some much needed yard work. Not the most fun thing to do, but with three boys it goes by pretty fast. We did manage to plant quite a few sunflowers and I picked a few tomatoes of my oldest son's tomato plant. Super yummy and sweet! {Read More}
Menu Monday's! What are your plans for the week?
How was your weekend? I had quite a busy one, but very fun and rewarding.

Construction trucks travel our nation's roads daily. Whether hauling concrete to new building sites, transporting water to fill swimming pools or tanks, bringing gasoline to the local gas station, or moving sand and rocks to a new location, each holds an increased risk over passenger vehicles of catastrophe. All trucks hold the potential for serious accident and injury, but because cement, water, gas, and dump trucks typically weigh thousands of tons more than the average truck and are shaped differently than most to carry their respective goods, these trucks have an increased risk of causing disaster.
Construction trucks can be found almost anywhere in Central Florida. Cement, water, gas, and dump trucks often make dozens of trips and deliveries a day, joining other large trucks jostling for space with tourists, full-time, and seasonal residents on congested roads and highways. Due to this factor, the possibility of being involved in a construction truck accident is greater than one might believe with dangers grave and serious.
The majority of construction trucks are considered a part of intrastate traffic. This means that these types of vehicles operate within a particular state and do not cross state borders. As a result, construction trucks are regulated by state law, instead of federal Department of Transportation regulations.
The possibility of a construction truck accident can become even more dangerous if the truck is not properly maintained or well-driven. This, in combination with the goods needing to reach their destination quickly to avoid expiration and drivers working to complete a timely deadline, can often result in a crash like no other, leaving families forever affected.

So when I was offered the option of sharing the release of this new product with ye all, I jumped at it as it looks like a really cool product and alternative to the short-term heat methods that we've all used until now.
It's a semi permanent straightening system that you do at home, lasts up to 10 washes, and seems simple to do!
What the official soundbite says...
"Banish out-of-control curls and flyaway frizz by following the two simple Smoothing & Sealing steps to create perfectly sleek, straight styles that will last up to 10 washes. Think of it as a professional blow-dry at home – every day!"
How it works is;
1. After washing and towel-drying the hair, you apply the straightening serum in sections, using gloves, and brush it through the hair to smooth out & straighten the hair, then leave it to develop for 20-25 minutes like you would a hair dye. Comb it 3 or 4 times throughout the 20-25 minutes to ensure the hair is kept straight, and after the development time is up, you rinse it out with luke warm water without using shampoo!
2. To seal it, apply the sealing cream and repeat the same process as above letting it develop for 10 minutes. This time when you rinse out the sealer, you can apply a conditioner if needed. All that's left to do is to blow-dry your hair straight after every wash and enjoy smooth locks for up to 10 washes.
'Play it Straight' how-to video can be watched here... http://www.youtube.com/got2bUK
The system is priced at £6.99 and will be available from Boots, Superdrug, Asda, Savers & Amazon.

Looking for a delicious, gluten free desert for Valentine's Day that is not full of food dye, sugar or white flour? Here is our one of our family's favorite cake recipes, with bright pink frosting made from beet juice and sweetened with raw honey and maple syrup. This recipe is not original; it was inspired by the book Make It Paleo, which I absolutely love. But since this is what I make on all of our special occasions I decided to share the step by step recipe with you.
Cake Batter
- 7 farm fresh eggs
- 3/4 cup of warm coconut oil (find it here)
- 3/4 cup coconut flour
- 1/2 maple syrup
- 1 tsp baking soda
- One pinch of sea salt (find it here)
- 24 ounces of cheese
- One beet
- 1/2 cup of raw honey
1. Combine all the dry ingredients together and then add in the eggs and the maple syrup.
2. Mix it vigorously!
The batter will look like this:
3. Pour it into two baking pans. I found some heart shaped pans this time.
4. Place in the oven at 375 F.
5. Bake for about 20 minutes, or until golden brown on top.
6. In the meantime, juice the beet. You will get more than you need that from one beet ,but this is about how much I use to dye the frosting. I also juiced some celery sticks and a lime for a refreshing beverage while I was in the kitchen.
7. Combine the beet juice, cream cheese, and honey in a bowl.
8. With a hand held blender, mix it all together. The final product will look like this:
9. Take the cake out of the oven, and let it cool.
10. Gently tap the bottom of the pan and use a spatula to get the cake out.
11. Cut the first cake in half horizontally.
12. Set the first layer on a platter and begin the frosting process – my favorite part! Here is the first layer:
Then, place the second layer:
13. Repeat the same process with both layers of the second cake. I got a little too impatient with my second layer and my heart ended up with a whole in it. How romantic!
Here is the last layer ready to be frosted:
And here is the finished product!
I had a slice before dinner. Mmmm so good! This is a very nutritious dessert. It contains a ton of good fats, from the eggs and coconut oil, and is not excessively sweet or starchy. I like how simple it is and easy to make, since I'm not a fan of overly complicated baking. I can whip this cake up in about 45 minutes!
I recommend letting it sit in the fridge for 24 hours. It will get moist and delicious. With a glass of raw milk, this even makes a great breakfast!
Happy Valentine's Day Everyone!

On one level, the Orioles have already put 14 years of misery to rest by clinching their first winning season since 1997. Now they're seeking another first since that same year - a playoff berth.
While it isn't a certainty with their final 13 games coming against AL East foes, the O's chances look good with a little bit of padding in the wild card standings and a narrow margin behind the Yankees for first place in the division.
Baseball's playoff format is a little different from the last time Baltimore experienced the postseason with this year's addition of a second wild card.
With that in mind, here's a basic look at the playoff calendar, subject to change barring unforeseen tiebreaking procedures:
Wednesday, Oct. 3 - Final day of the regular season.
Thursday, Oct. 4 - Off-day (built into the schedule for tiebreakers, weather-related make-ups that could impact standings, etc.).
Friday, Oct. 5 - Wild card games played in each league (one game, win-and-you-advance format).
Saturday, Oct. 6 - The American League Division Series or the National League Division Series begin, pitting the No. 2 seed against the No. 3 seed. The lower-seeded team hosts the first two games of the best-of-five series.
Sunday, Oct. 7 - The ALDS and NLDS series involving the No. 1 and No. 4 seeds begin at the home of the lower-seeded team, which hosts the first two games of the best-of-five series. Game 2 of the ALDS and NLDS between the No. 2 and No. 3 teams is played at the home park of the lower seed.
Monday, Oct. 8 - Game 2 of the ALDS and NLDS between the No. 1 and No. 4 seeds, at the home park of the lower seed. Travel day for the other series.
Tuesday, Oct. 9 - Game 3 of the ALDS and NLDS between the No. 2 and No. 3 seeds, moving to the ballpark of the higher-seeded team for the remainder of the series. Travel day for the series between the No. 1 and No. 4 seeds.
Wednesday, Oct. 10 - The No. 1 seeds (the teams with the best record in each league) finally realize the reward of a home playoff game as the ALDS and NLDS involving those teams shift to the top-seeded teams' home ballpark for the remainder of the series. Game 4 of the other ALDS and NLDS (if necessary) at the home park of the higher seed).
Thursday, Oct. 11 - Game 5 of the ALDS and NLDS between the No. 2 and No. 3 seeds (if necessary) is played at the home field of the higher seed. Game 4 of the ALDS and NLDS involving the No. 1 and No. 4 seeds (if necessary) is played at the home park of the No. 1 seed.
Friday, Oct. 12 - Game 5 of the ALDS and NLDS (if necessary) between the No. 1 and No. 4 seeds is played at the home park of the No. 1 seed.
Saturday, Oct. 13 - Best-of-seven American League Championship Series begins in the home park of the higher seed.
Sunday, Oct. 14 - Best-of-seven National League Championship Series begins in the home park of the higher seed.
Wednesday, Oct. 24 - Best-of-seven World Series begins in the home park of the NL representative (by virtue of the NL's victory in the All-Star Game).
And thus, the ramifications for the Orioles are completely up in the air.
They might be involved in the wild card game, they might not. It appears the most likely situations are that the Orioles either face the AL Central champ by winning the division, or play in the wild card game for a crack at the AL West victor. (The West entered Monday with the top two record-holders in the American League.)
The list of Baltimore's possible opponents for the wild card and Division Series remains quite lengthy: A's, Rays, Tigers, Yankees, White Sox and Rangers.
Then again, the Orioles could miss the playoffs altogether, which would likely be a disappointment to most fans even though this season has been a smashing success in comparison to recent Charm City summers.
So let's look at it in the frame of the O's current situation where they would claim the second wild card with the A's taking the first and the Yankees winning the division. In that situation, Baltimore would open Oct. 5 at Oakland in the wild card game for a likely matchup against the AL-leading Rangers in the Division Series.
Then say the Orioles beat the Athletics. Because of the desire to eliminate off-days in each series and have the playoffs over by Nov. 1, Baltimore would benefit from being the lower seed by hosting the first two games of the best-of-five meeting with Texas.
So the O's would fly back across the country and host Games 1 and 2 against the Rangers at Camden Yards from Oct. 7-8. Baltimore wouldn't play at the favored club until Oct. 10 in Game 3. The last three games of the series would be hosted by the team with the better record.
The best-of-seven ALCS would revert to a more traditional format with the favored squad opening the series at home on Oct. 13. At this point, the Orioles wouldn't likely earn that right unless they win the division or advance to play a team from the AL Central.
Because of MLB rules, MASN won't be able to broadcast any of the games, though the Orioles' regular-season television rights-holder will continue to air "O's Xtra" pregame and postgame shows. And you'll have the best coverage available of the Orioles' playoff run right here on MASNsports.com, which will have staffers with the team every step of the way.
As for where to watch the games, all tiebreaker tilts and Oct. 5 wild card games will be aired on TBS, which will also air 18 of the 20 LDS games, with MLB Network airing its first live playoff games Oct. 7 and Oct. 10 (games to be determined). TBS also has the ALCS while FOX will present exclusive coverage of the World Series.
The specific dates listed above could all be moot if the nightmare scenario occurs: more than two teams are involved in ties atop divisions or for the wild cards.
Only one day was left after the regular season for tiebreaker games, so all of this could be pushed back and shuffled if the exciting but schedule-smashing tiebreaker games come to fruition. The races for all three AL divisions and the wild card are tight enough that the possibility doesn't seem so farfetched. And don't even think of what might happen if weather has a negative effect on the tiebreakers or wild card games.
But for now, assume that won't happen and the schedule outlined above is accurate. That should help you pencil a possible O's postseason schedule onto your calendar.
But hang loose. It could definitely change.

Scams at Ebay and Paypal
Patricia Johnson is a freelance writer living in Indiana. She agreed to write for starredreviews about real incident that happened with her. In her own words – "I just hope it helps someone else from being scammed."
As much as I hate to admit it, I was caught up in a scam. I should have followed my gut instinct and realized that when something sounds to good to be true it probably is, and to not just walk, but run as fast as you can from it. Hopefully my story will help others from getting scammed out of their hard earned money.
As with most couples today, you have a budget as to what bills are being paid and how much and no matter how hard you try, there are times when you have too many bills and not enough money or you just want a little extra money. Both of these were the case when I got caught in the scam.
My husband and I are both disabled. He is receiving his disability check and I have just applied so you can already see how tight money can be. I am a freelance writer but that does not bring a lot of money.
I belong to a big writing site, which will remain anonymous, and I have seen these job offerings for eBay sellers. I will admit that I thought long and hard before I bid on one of these jobs but I finally did. This employer contacted me and offered me a position. First clue, she did not want to hire through the site so like a dummy I agreed to sell without being awarded the job.
I had an eBay store so I placed the Blackberry phones in my store and within thirty minutes they were sold. I kept the percentage of my fee and sent the rest to this woman via PayPal. Needless to say, she did not send out the phones, nor did she answer my emails asking for the tracking numbers, and the carrier she used to ship them out. I sent her several emails telling her why I needed this information but they were ignored.
In the mean time, my Paypal account had a limitation put on it, which was the first indication that something was wrong. I could receive money, and issue refunds, but nothing else. All that money was froze.
I contacted PayPal who said that I had a dispute, and could file a claim, which I did. This woman had ten days to respond to the claim. On the ninth day I called to see what was going on, and was told that I would have my money, which I had sent her, back by Saturday afternoon if she did not respond by midnight the next day, April 1st. Just as we were hanging up, the representative told me that a mistake had been made.
Since it was a person to person claim, I should never have been allowed to file a claim, and immediately closed the claim. I was very angry and demanded to talk to a supervisor. The representative told me that she would have one call me. They called me that Saturday and informed me that I should have never been allowed to file a claim or dispute, and that since I had done something illegal, they were closing my account.
I had no idea at the time of these transactions that I had done anything illegal but they did not want to listen to what I had to say. I was extremely mad and disappointed in PayPal. I feel that PayPal should have a fraud department that handles cases like this because if they could put a limitation on my account, why couldn't they put a limitation on her account. I made a mistake and get my account restricted while she is a fraud and scammer who gets no limitations on her account and can continue her fraud and scams.
I went back to the writing site, and saw that she is still advertising for eBay sellers. When ever I see her listing, I leave a message in capital letters that she is a fraud and will steal your money. In her ad she states that she wants honest people.
I am getting ready to file a fraud charge on her plus I have requested a refund from her via PayPal, which I am sure I will never see. I also wonder if the two people who ordered the phones are not part of her scam ring. According to her profile on the job site she lives in Denver and has a company, but I could not find the company on the internet. The two that bought the phones live in Florida.
I just want to let everyone out there to not get caught up in the thought of some quick and easy money because you will land up like me. You will become a victim of fraud and will have to pay back money to the people who were possibly scammed by buying the merchandise.
There is no real way to tell if they are all part of an internet scam ring or not but when I file my fraud report, I am going to include them also. This was a very expensive lesson, almost $800 but I only had to refund $400 to the two who "supposingly" bought the phones. Why I say over $800, I am including the amount I sent to her for payments for the phones sold.
If you see someone advertising for an eBay seller, do no answer the ad. Common sense, which evaded me that day, should have told me that if they had things to sell, why did they need a middle man.

Amy Caruso was a junior in the nursing program at Boston College and seemed to have everything going for her - brains, beauty, athleticism, career goals, a loving family, and many wonderful friends. But in November 2009, she admitted she was a heroin addict and voluntarily entered treatment. Five weeks later she died from an overdose at the treatment facility on the day after Christmas, weeks shy of her twenty-first birthday.
Melissa Weiksnar attended Wellesley College and is a graduate of MIT, Harvard Business School, and the University of Houston. After 20 years in the high-technology industry, she changed careers to high-school teaching. Since Amy died, Melissa has been telling Amy's story to school, college, community, and religious groups to help others understand how addiction is an equal opportunity disease. She and her husband have two older children and live in Massachusetts.
"Melissa Weiksnar's detailed and bravely honest account of the years leading up to her daughter's tragic death brings true insight into the challenges and angst of parenting a child suffering from addiction. Amy's words and spirit can be felt through her journal entries and allow readers to immerse themselves within the mind of a person struggling to get sober. This story is ammunition towards fighting the stereotype of the 'typical' addict and is evidence that neither a loving family, education nor socioeconomic status can save a person from the powerful grip of addiction. May this book help others to find meaning in their losses and increase awareness about the most effective ways to support a loved one with an addiction." (Sarah Allen Benton, M.S., LMHC, therapist and author of Understanding the High-Functioning Alcoholic)
