text: I am trying to find a casual neighborhood restaurat with the feel of The Galley or Chez Jay but with better food. Growing up in Santa Monica, I remember (maybe incorrectly) both of these restaurants having fantastic salad and steak. I have eaten at each of them recently after many years. The vibe is exactly the same but the food at both was mediocre at best. I am hoping this restaurant will be on the Westside but I will drive if needed. It can even be less casual but I do like the non-chain feel of these places. I know Cut and Mastro's have great steak but that's not what I am looking for.

Thank you to Megan for attending Disney Planes with her family on behalf of Raising Three Savvy Ladies. All thoughts and opinions are her own.
My husband, my 5-year-old son, and I went to an advance screening of Disney Planes 3D and loved it! This film from the World of Cars was highly anticipated in my house.
Planes is about a crop-duster plane who dreams of leaving the farm to compete in and win a race around the world. He has the drive and the heart, but he is afraid of flying too high. With the help of his friends including his mentor, Skipper, an old fighter plane, and some good karma, he just might achieve his dream.
My 5-year-old understood and appreciated a few lessons in perseverance and kindness (because what goes around, comes around). To him, it didn't disappoint; he says he can't wait for Planes 2!
My husband and I expected a little more, but thought it lacked the visual and writing genius of Cars and Cars 2. We hoped to see one or two recognizable Cars characters but didn't see one. But what do we know? It's a hit with the kids!
To keep the Disney Planes excitement going, check out these two games:

'Horror,' U.N. Security Council says at South Sudan massacre
NAIROBI, Kenya — The U.N. Security Council today expressed "horror" at the recent massacre of several hundred civilians in South Sudan, while the U.S. ambassador to the world body said she fears a deepening human catastrophe.
The strongly worded Security Council statement deplored the killings last week in Bentiu, the capital of oil-producing Unity state, as well as the use of radio broadcasts to "foment hate and sexual violence." It said council members may be willing to impose sanctions if attacks on civilians continue.
"The world's newest state is clearly on a precipice," said U.S. Ambassador Samantha Power, who demanded that the nation's leaders end the violence. "Failure to take bold action now very well could push South Sudan into a cycle of retaliatory ethnic killing, a deepening civil war, and an even more devastating humanitarian catastrophe."
The condemnations come about 10 days after rebel fighters from the Nuer ethnic group took control of Bentiu and slaughtered non-Nuer civilians in the town mosque, the hospital and on streets, leaving "piles and piles" of bodies, according to the U.N.'s top aid official in the country.
Melker Mabeck, the outgoing head of the International Committee of the Red Cross delegation in South Sudan, called the conflict's ethnic component worrying.
"Because it can reach a point where the political efforts that we hope make progress might be overrun by these kinds of dynamics, so that even if a political solution is found the rifts between the different ethnic groups is too wide to bridge," he said.
President Salva Kiir fired the country's top military officer, Chief of Staff Gen. James Hoth Mai, further isolating the Nuer group politically. Mai is Nuer and his command position, which he held since 2009, was frequently cited as an example of the ethnic diversity of the government led by Kiir, an ethnic Dinka.
Mai's removal further freezes a powerful minority out of top government positions, said Casie Copeland, a South Sudan analyst for the International Crisis Group.
"The move will make many Nuer who remain with the government nervous," she said.
Kiir also relieved his director of military intelligence, a Nuer, following his testimony at a recent treason trial that appeared to politicize the army, said Copeland. The newly named replacements are Dinka, like the president, she said.
Col. Philip Aguer, South Sudan's military spokesman, noted that chiefs of staff are posts not for life, and that the military implements the president's decisions. It is only the second change in the top military position since 2005, Aguer said.
A spokesman for the rebels, Brig. Gen. Lul Ruai Koang, said the firing of Mai and the director of military intelligence "marks the beginning of an imminent bloodbath, escalation and regionalization of the conflict."
"Kiir has finally unplugged the last safety valve and glue that had partially kept together his faltering regime in the last four months," Koang said.
Aguer reported battles in Jonglei state on Wednesday around the town of Renk, which he said is in the military's control. The rebels say they now control Renk. It was impossible to immediately reconcile the accounts.
The situation in Bentiu remains calm but the city is in rebel control, he said.
Violence has been raging in South Sudan since mid-December, when Kiir accused Machar of leading a coup. About 1 million people have fled their homes and an unknown number have been killed. Most estimates are in the thousands.
"Who knows how many are killed? Nobody knows," Mabeck said in an Associated Press interview Thursday in Geneva, where he was briefing Red Cross officials. "I think it's likely to get worse before it gets any better," he said.
South Sudan became the world's newest country in 2011 when it cleaved off from larger Sudan after a referendum. Enmities between ethnic groups have been longstanding.

Tulare CA (SPX) Feb 15, 2017
AeroVironment, Inc. has shared details regarding its ongoing pilot programs which are entering their third year and have guided development of the AV DSS platform. The company also displays its Quantix drone and AV Decision Support System (AV DSS) to World Ag Expo and National Farm Machinery Show attendees this week, highlighting the fully-integrated ecosystem's powerfully-simple operations and innovative data analytics capabilities.
"Our extensive work with early adopter agriculture customers continues to inform the architecture for our Quantix drone and AeroVironment Decision Support System," said Jon Self, vice president of Commercial Information Solutions at AeroVironment.
"The pilot programs allow us to learn how to integrate drone technology into the way growers operate and is helping us to develop some very specific analytics. Our results and experience from working with multiple crops guide our design to give farmers an intuitive solution that is the first of its kind in the marketplace."
AeroVironment partnered with a group of independent farmers and universities to ensure the Quantix drone and AV DSS platform meet the agronomic needs of commercial farmers and operators.
The project team repeatedly surveyed tens of thousands of acres during the past two years, focusing research efforts into various crops including almonds, walnuts, corn, grapes, sugar beets, strawberries and tomatoes to test analytics that identify canopy cover, early disease detection and yield prediction capabilities.
The projects employed a variety of sensors including photogrammetry, multispectral, and LiDAR to develop highly precise (1 in. resolution) topographical maps for water management, developing flow diagrams that examined drainage, erosion, run-off and tile line designs within a field.
As the pilot programs extend into 2017, AeroVironment will expand research to include additional surveys of row crops, specialty crops and permanent crops. This commitment to research ensures that Quantix with AV DSS will continue to evolve in its precision and targeted crop analytics.
Innovative design, engineered for precision agriculture
Quantix is the first hybrid drone to be introduced to the agricultural marketplace and is designed to pair seamlessly with AV DSS, allowing growers to review drone-collected data easily for both quick insights and deeper analysis.
Quantix collects RGB and NDVI multispectral images that can be viewed on-site immediately after each flight and then are uploaded, processed and stored securely in the cloud for growers to view either on their mobile device or a desktop computer.
The AV DSS will feature a mobile app component allowing producers to collect and record infield observations. The platform is equipped with an alert system that instantly notifies farmers of anomalies in the field so that immediate action can be taken to address stressors.
To develop this technology based on agronomic research, AeroVironment has partnered with leading universities that are studying the use of aerial multispectral imagery to better identify specific crop stresses.
The company recently announced it has begun a year-long study with California State University, Fresno to research how UAV imagery and analytics could potentially detect varying levels of water stress in almond trees and give producers smarter insights to make more effective in-season decisions regarding water management.
AeroVironment also has engaged with North Dakota State University on a similar study to enable the early detection of three key diseases in sugar beets. Findings could help sugar beet growers identify infected plants before symptoms are visible to the naked eye - saving time and production costs while increasing yield.

The African Union has officially recognised Libya's National Transitional Council as the country's legitimate leadership, the group's chairman said Tuesday.
The announcement was transmitted by the office of South African President Jacob Zuma, six days after he hosted a meeting of the AU's special panel on Libya in Pretoria.
The AU's reluctance to formally recognise Libya's new leadership had created a split on the continent, as about 20 nations had already established ties.
The president of Equatorial Guinea, Teodoro Obiang Nguema, who holds the AU's rotating chair, made the announcement after consulting with the panel in New York, ahead of the UN General Assembly, the AU statement said.
Obiang Nguema "hereby announces that the African Union recognises the National Transitional Council (NTC) as the representative of the Libyan people as they form an all-inclusive transitional government that will occupy the Libyan seat at the African Union."
"The African Union stands ready to support the Libyan people... as they rebuild their country towards a united, democratic, peaceful and prosperous Libya," it said.
At the AU panel's meeting last week in Pretoria, the group had "committed itself to working with the NTC" but stopped short of formally recognising it.
The pan-African body has doggedly stuck to its own "roadmap" for the Libyan conflict and criticised the NATO bombing campaign -- even though the rebellion had rejected the AU proposal, insisting on the removal of Moamer Kadhafi from power.
But earlier this month, the NTC gave assurances that it would work to meet key AU concerns, promising that they remained committed to the African continent and to building national unity after Kadhafi's ouster, the statement said.
We're on a mission to show you the real Middle East.

The NTC also promised to protect foreign workers, including black Africans, following allegations that many had been detained on suspicions they had worked as mercenaries for Kadhafi.
"I don't think it's backtracking. At the end of the day more countries are recognising the transitional council," said Henning Snyman, senior researcher at the South African Institute of International Affairs.
"President Zuma and the AU came out and said there are certain requirements that they have before they will recognise the NTC. I think the main one was that the NTC must assure them that they would involve everyone in the new government."
Kadhafi was a major financial backer of AU operations, and an advocate for stronger integration on the continent -- with himself at the helm.
He built a massive complex in his hometown of Sirte, which he hoped would become the capital of a United States of Africa, a drive that many nations including South Africa resisted.
"Everyone was a bit shellshocked," by Kadhafi's ouster, Snyman said. "If the strongman of Africa can be toppled, who is next? And if the strongman of Africa can be toppled with foreign intervention, who is next?"
Initially the AU's reluctance to deal with the new leadership in Tripoli stemmed from the group's policy against recognising power grabs by armed groups, said University of Pretoria analyst Laurence Caromba.
"The AU were sticking by its principles not to recognise an unconstitutional change in an African state or a coup," he told AFP.
"But there is a dangerous vacuum at the moment with the previous government which has fallen, and the new one hasn't consolidated, so it was forced to recognise the reality."

I started playing chess during the prime of Bobby Fischer on circa 1970.I was too naive then that I did not give much attention with stories about the World Chess Championships between Bobby and the depending champion Spassky.
Eventually, I became his fan when chess articles appeared in most newspapers telling about the outcome of the World Chess Championship, that he grabbed it from reigning champion Boris. Since then, my passion for chess begins and never fade till the present days.
Text from local newspapers was my only means of research, there were no books, no computer, no Fritzes, no Rybkas none whatsoever.I like those days, because there were sense of neutrality, honesty and dignity.

User review on Skoda Rapid written by Saleem Siddiqui on 29 June 2015
Saleem Siddiqui's review on Skoda Rapid 1.5 TDI CR Elegance AT
Year of Manufacture : 2014 | Driven no. of Kms. : 5700
- Pros: Decent styling
- Cons: Suspension problem
I completely agree with the words of Mr. Ramesh Rana, the suspension of this car is stiff. But overall it is a very nice and budget friendly Sedan from Skoda. Being the AT variant, this car is very easy and comfortable to drive in the traffic conditions. But due to the automatic transmission, the fuel efficiency is bit effected by it. But overall a pretty decent deal from Skoda.

Analyzing community responses to HIV and AIDS : operational framework and typology
This paper presents a framework for analyzing the community response to HIV and AIDS. On the basis of a review of the literature, six criteria are proposed for characterizing such community responses: (1) the types of organizations and structures implementing the response, (2) the types of activities or services implemented and the beneficiaries of these, (3) the actors involved in and driving community responses, (4) the contextual factors that influence community responses, (5) the extent of community involvement in the response, and (6) the extent to which community responses involve wider partnerships and collaboration.

Lubbock police Officer Travis Riddle was not at fault in an automobile collision that took the life of 15-year-old Courtney Bosler on Dec. 7, an investigative report shows.
The accident was one of dozens involving police cars this year. The Police Depart ment, however, has seen an overall decline in wrecks involving patrol cars, city records indicate.
A police accident investigator determined that Officer Travis Riddle was traveling below the posted speed limit of 40 mph prior to the collision, police Capt. Richard Foster said.
Courtney died shortly after the car she was riding in collided with Riddle's cruiser about 6:35 p.m. at the intersection of Martin Luther King Boulevard and Parkway Drive.
Teresa Cameron, 41, of Lubbock was in serious condition at University Medical Center most of last week. Her condition improved over the weekend, and she remained hospitalized Monday in satisfactory condition, a hospital spokeswoman said.
Her son, Cameron Bosler, 13, and Riddle also were hospitalized at UMC for injuries suffered in the collision. Riddle was released the day after the collision and Bosler was released Wednesday.
Witnesses said Cameron's eastbound Plymouth Breeze turned in front of the westbound police car. Both vehicles had a green light, report said.
Riddle, who was driving a marked patrol car, was on routine patrol and did not have his emergency lights activated.
An investigator determined Riddle's speed at the time of the collision by analyzing the point where he would have begun evasive actions and the point of impact, Foster said.
From Oct. 1, 2001, through Sept. 30, police vehicles were involved in 89 collisions, according to city Human Resources Director Mary House.
Of those 89, 33 were deemed preventable, she said.
A collision report is made every time a city vehicle collides with another vehicle or a fixed object and damage occurs, Assistant Police Chief Dale Holton said.
The city had recorded 165 police car accidents over a 21-month period between October 1999 and June 2001, which is an average of 7.9 accidents per month.
The 89 collisions over the last fiscal year represent an average of 7.4 accidents per month.
Police Chief Claude Jones said last week that he has made a priority of reducing the number of collisions involving police vehicles.
"I'm pleased it has come down as much as it has and we're working to move it more in that direction," Jones said.
In the past year, both the city and the Police Department have established accident review boards, he said.
Holton described the two boards as a kind of checks and balances system that allows the city and police to agree on whether a collision is preventable.
Collisions involving police vehicles are unavoidable given the mileage driven by the police fleet, Jones said.
The police fleet consists of 260 vehicles, which log nearly 5 million miles a year, according to Randy Ervin, fleet services manager for Lubbock.
Accident prevention begins at the Police Academy, police Sgt. Robert Hook said.
Rookies take a nationally certified 32-hour professional driving course. The four-day course features both classroom and in-car training, he said.
Graduation doesn't mean the end of driver tests though.
Officers must be recertified annually, he said.
"We have had people wash out (of the academy) because" they were unable to pass the driving course, he said.
"Liability is so high you have to be very careful," he said. "There's a standard they have to meet. If they don't, we have to cut them."
Hook compared driver training to the intensive training rookies receive on using firearms.
"Chances are they're never going to use that weapon, but they're going to drive every day ... They're not good to anybody if they can't get to where they're going."

TWO people suffered slash wounds when a samurai sword was waved around during a drinking session.
David Jenkins swung the weapon towards the heads of a 24-year-old woman and a 34-year-old man who were at his house on May 19.
Newcastle Crown Court heard they both suffered wounds to their hands, which they had raised in a bid to protect themselves.
The female victim suffered nerve damage where the weapon cut the base of her thumb.
Jenkins told police he had been "dancing around" carrying the sword when his visitors got hurt.
The 29-year-old, of Penistone Road, in Pennywell, admitted unlawful wounding and assault.
At the time of the attack he was on bail for breaking a man's cheekbone with a single blow outside the Last Orders pub, in Red House, last November.
He pleaded guilty to causing grievous bodily harm in relation to that attack.
At Newcastle Crown Court yesterday Mr Recorder Jonathan Sandiford sentenced him to 18 months behind bars.
The Judge told him: "You swung the weapon around near enough to people's heads that injuries were caused when they raised their hands thinking they were going to be struck."
The judge said the public were "sick to death" of drunken violence.
Andrew Finlay, defending, said Jenkins was remorseful for what he did.
Mr Finlay said Jenkins was under considerable stress due to a family member's ill health at the time of the pub attack.
In relation to the attack, he said: "He was dancing around, waving the machete around.
"It was obviously a reckless thing to do and when the machete was waved towards someone's head they are going to put up their hands.
"He has to accept responsibility."

My calendar (calendar? what am I talking about? I mean, of course, my phone and my computer) is telling me that today is 8 September.
Seems about right: I seem to remember yesterday was the 7th. Without this reassurance, though, I might have thought that it was 1 April.
This is because, as a kind of tail end to the summer 'silly season', some of our more reactionary newspapers are giving publicity to an 'idea' from architects nbbj, who are suggesting that the Circle Line of London Underground could be replaced by a series of parallel moving belts — 'travelators' — which would move at successively faster speeds.
They claim that this would be more efficient than the 'late-running' trains (I am indebted to the Evening Standard for this description) which presently provide the service.
How anyone can know if an Underground train is running late unless they have a copy of the working timetable is beyond me. Neither, with headways of a couple of minutes, do I care if train 703 is actually in its theoretical path or not. But there, the Standard probably inserts the adjective 'late-running' as a matter of course when it refers to trains, just as all rail passengers are 'commuters', irrespective of the purpose of their journeys.
The principle of moving belts (you board the slowest, and then progressively step across to the faster ones) can be traced back to a story written by Robert Heinlein soon after the Second World War, called 'The roads must roll'. His system was more ambitious — the fastest belts were really fast, and wide enough to include structures such as restaurants.
But the Circle Line suggestion is a recognisable development of Heinlein's story, even without the restaurants.
Heinlein, however, was intentionally writing fiction. nbbj appears to be serious.
Well, now. I have not been able to see the nbbj version (there is nothing obvious on its website), so I am relying on newspaper summaries, which may have omitted some of the details.
But taking the idea as it is being presented, it demonstrates a breathtaking ignorance of the layout of London Underground. The truth is that there is no such thing as a Circle Line, because it is really a Circle Service. Nearly all its route is shared with Metropolitan, Hammersmith & City or District services. There are just a couple of short lengths at the south western and eastern 'corners' which are used exclusively by Circle trains.
Indeed, even the Circle ceased to be a true Circle several years ago. Circle trains now start from Hammersmith, terminating at Edgware Road after one circuit and then going back the way they came, until they pass through Edgware Road again en route to Hammersmith. You could call it a Coffeecup Service, perhaps.
If you replace the traditional 'Circle' route with moving belts, what happens to the other lines? The District would be interrupted at Earl's Court and Aldgate East, the Hammersmith & City would be reduced to two shuttles serving Hammersmith and Barking, and there would be no Metropolitan trains to Farringdon and Aldgate. Parts of the Circle route are in the open air, so take your umbrella on cloudy days.
Moving belts also seem unlikely to satisfy accessibility rules, and would surely pose problems for people in wheelchairs and, indeed, anyone who is not too steady on their feet.
The nbbj website includes the mantra that "Ideas are the source of innovation. They propel us forward, fueling new insights and breakthroughs." Quite so (even when the propulsion apparently depends on a US spellchecker).
I am sure this firm has come up with some excellent ideas in other fields, and although this one is not so much an argument in a Circle as utterly beside the point, it has at least got nbbj's name mentioned in a few places.
Perhaps that was the real idea?

For lunch we stopped in at a little tourist trap restaurant on a rooftop in a pedestrian walkway. I had one of the local specialities – a stuffed pepper with cheese and various other things. Quite warm. Apparently they like to laugh at tourists eating it here, but it is not actually that hot.
We spent the afternoon getting a couple of last minute things and arranging our bus trip to Puno before supper.

The Adi Badri the first temple complex among the Sapta Badri temples is an ancient shrine dedicated to Vishnu and is one among a chain of 16 small shrines located in the hill ranges 17 kilometres , beyond Karnaprayag confluence of Pindar River and Alaknanda River in Chamoli district.
Seven temples of this chain were built during the late Gupta period . According to tradition, Adi Shankara is attributed as the builder of all the temples.Adi Shankara is believed to have sanctioned these temples in order to spread Hinduism to every remote part of the country. In ancient times, when an approach to the main shrine of Badrinath was closed due to weather conditions, pilgrims worshipped Vishnu at this temple.
Adi Badri, also known as Helisera according to revenue records, is a tiny temple complex enclosed within a space of 14 metres . The height of the temples varies from 2–6 metres . The chief temple is dedicated to god Vishnu, which is built on a raised platform, with a small enclosure in a pyramidal form. The sanctum holds black stone 1-metre image of Vishnu.The image depicts Vishnu holding a mace, lotus and chakra .

He's had a great career in television too on shows like Hawaii Five-0, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. and of course Iron Chef; he's also been successful as Kung Lao in Mortal Kombat: Legacy.
So I thought it's about time we did a poll were you call get to vote for your favourite Mark Dacascos film; once the results are calculated I will put together a list of his 10 best movies.

Mumbai, India (PressExposure) August 27, 2014 -- Gorakhpur celebrated with Masterchef Sanjeev Kapoor who brings the 'The Yellow Chilli' to the enterprising people of Gorakhpur
First launched in 2001, with restaurants spread across India and outside its shores too, The Yellow Chilli chain has been serving its patrons with excellent and innovative Indian cuisine. Apart from the food (which lives its definition of - Redefining Indian Food) the common thread that binds all the restaurants is that the ambience everywhere is contemporary and chic with exquisite elements. Beautiful furnishings in muted tones, soft music, combined with an exquisite use of glassware and cutlery seamlessly set the tone for a refined casual dining experience. To top it all the service is on par with the best across the world. These restaurants are designed to cater to the myriad tastes of its discerning guests.
The latest avatar of The Yellow Chilli was presented to the people of Gorakhpur at a glittering function in the evening. The spacious restaurant comprising of 86 covers has a lovely Mocktail bar as well.
SKRPL (SK Restaurants Pvt.

After Mayor Adams announced a stay of execution for Memorial Coliseum yesterday, I thought tonight's planned rally to save the building would be sort of back-patting victory party.
But instead, the 30 planners and preservationists who gathered downtown tonight had some harsh critiques of the Rose Quarter redevelopment process and say they'll keep pressuring the city to slow down the major projects planned for the area. "What seems to be lacking is a vision. The questions they're asking are can it all fit, can it be done on a budget, but not, is it the right thing for Portland? It's not like the tram, where the goal was, 'Let's make something great,'" says designer Randy Higgins.
"What do you think about the process for this redevelopment?" I asked.
"There is no process!" says architect Stuart Emmons, "They figure out what they're going to do and then try to jam it down our throats! This is enormous. This project has all these implications and we're trying to decide it on a weekend."
Higgins, Emmons and others are upset that, so far, the design of the Rose Quarter projects have been given to large corporations instead of finding local talent to do the job. Cordish Company is signed up to turn the area into Rose Quarter Live! and the Beavers ballpark design was given to Ellerbe Becket, an architecture firm with no offices in Portland but offices in DC, Dallas and Dubai.
"We're a town that's got a reputation for visionary design and we didn't get that reputation by hiring out of town designers," complains strategic designer Don Rood. "The local creative class is not really part of the equation," agrees Higgins.
In his announcement yesterday, the mayor said he feels an urgency to move quickly on the Rose Quarter both because the city needs to meet Major League Soccer's deadlines and because "stimulus projects" like the stadium will ease the 18 percent unemployment in Oregon's construction industry. Also I should point out that it wasn't the city who hired Cordish to redevelop the Rose Quarter, the Blazers have development rights on the area. But it's a valid question to ask whether local talent (and businesses) could be a bigger part of the development. The angry architects are meeting with the mayor's staff tomorrow morning - we'll see what sort of plans come out of that discussion.
At the back of the room during the low-key "rally" were two architects who actually helped design Memorial Coliseum back in the mid-60s. Bill Rouzie and Ned Kirschbaum are old enough to remember when the Winterhawks were called the Buckaroos. I asked what they thought of all the recent hubbub over the merits of their building (to quote: Memorial Coliseum is "an ugly monstrosity"). "I like it quite a lot. On nice days when people were ice skating, they could bring the curtains down and look out at the city," recalled Kirschbaum. "There's always going to be split opinion," replied Rouzie, explaining how the Coliseum's design came about. "The thing we hated was the mouselike approach to the seats in most stadiums, where you walk blindly through these dark corridors."
Rouzie personally designed the big chip at the front of the Coliseum (seen here sheltering Blazer's refugees). "Detail wise it takes a lot to design something simple," says Rouzie.

May 03, 2009 Phil Blackwell Uncategorized
In advance of Sunday's highly-anticipated encounter with its neighbors from Bishop Ludden at Alliance Bank Stadium, the Westhill baseball team began to show off all that it could do, with 61 total runs in three games.
In the case of last Monday's game at Jordan-Elbridge, that meant a long, productive fourth inning that served as the basis for a 24-7 victory over the Eagles.
J-E had every intention of keeping it interesting as, down 5-1 in the bottom of the third inning, it used a four-run rally to tie it, 5-5.
That only seemed to make Westhill angry — for in the top of the fourth, it stayed at bat for a while, twice going around the order while accumulating 14 runs.
By game's end, the Warriors had 23 hits, including Pat Lemmo's home run as he led his side with three RBIs. Mike Mascari doubled twice as he, along with Mike Fagan, Mike McMullen, Mike DeCarr, Nate Nigolian and Ryan Malley, each finished with two RBIs. Greg Schmidt, Dan Lowery and Dan Karleski drove in single runs.
Nick Downs, one of four Westhill pitchers, got credit for the win. J-E's Christian Berwind took the loss, as Ben Snyder earned two RBIs. Berwind, Colby Auer and Jeff D'Onofrio drove in one run apiece.
Westhill continued to dominate on Wednesday afternoon, when it hosted Solvay and bashed the Bearcats 19-1.
A five-run first inning set the tone, but Westhill really put it away by torching Solvay for 11 runs in the bottom of the third.
Malley and Jake Rush both smacked home runs, with Malley also getting a pair of doubles as he finished with four RBIs. Nigolian's hits produced a season-best five RBIs as Mascari and Rush both drove in two runs. Schmidt and David Grace drove in runs, too.
On his way to a combined one-hitter with Lemmo, Malley only gave up R.J. Lostumbo's solo home run in the top of the fifth inning.
To cap off this stretch, Westhill went to Skaneateles on Friday and engaged in all kinds of early destruction during an 18-6 victory over the Lakers.
Two days earlier, Skaneateles had unbeaten Bishop Ludden down 6-4 in the bottom of the seventh inning, only to surrender a three-run, game-winning home run to John Rooney.
Perhaps the shock hadn't worn off, for Westhill jumped all over the Lakers with seven runs in the first inning, then got seven more runs in the top of the second for a 14-0 lead.
Amid the 19-hit attack, DeCarr (also the winning pitcher) tripled and joined Dan Karleski with three RBIs apiece. Malley hit the game's only home run as he, along with Mascari, drove in two runs. Nigolian and Dan Manzano earned single RBIs.
Westhill's game with Ludden is the first of two encounters, the other to be held May 16 or 17 during Utica-Notre Dame's tournament, where both teams are participating.
Malley, meanwhile, made official his plans to go to Niagara University. He hit above .400 in both his sophomore and junior campaigns, hitting five home runs in 2008 and pitching his way to a 3-0 start this spring.

Consensus has been reached.
How Canada's Health System needs to change to support people through illness or when dying.
At a national Consensus Development Conference held in Ottawa November 7-9, 2016, a lay panel of Canadians examine public opinion research questioned experts on how quality palliative care could be delivered. The panel concluded that palliative care must become an insured service under the Canada Health Act and made 20 specific recommendations:
- The Canada Health Act be amended to include integrated, palliative home care with portable universal access and support for patients and caregivers, customized to patients' medical and psycho-social needs;
- The federal government provide substantial and sustained funding for the development of a national strategy, including capacity building, standards development and monitoring, and research;
- Every physician in Canada be able to provide basic palliative care and that accrediting and licensing bodies and professional colleges ensure competencies are taught and tested; and
- A wide-spread public awareness campaign about palliative care support the implementation of a national palliative care strategy.
View the consensus statement and its 20 recommendations here.
What is Palliative Care Matters?
Sooner or later, most Canadians will need palliative care for themselves or someone they love. The problem is that finding this care is not a sure thing in Canada. We don't have a national strategy and not all Canadians can access the care they need for themselves or their loved ones.
We need to ensure that palliative care becomes part of Canada's universal healthcare model.
That's why Covenant Health has joined with many of Canada's leading national health organizations and experts in palliative care and health policy to lead this initiative. The initiative is being co-chaired by Karen Macmillan, Senior Operating Officer and Executive Lead for Palliative Care, Covenant Health and Fred Horne, former Alberta health minister and health policy advisor.
What are we doing?
- WE LISTENED! Palliative Care Matters began by listening to Canadians. Over the summer of 2016, we worked with Ipsos, a national public research and engagement firm, to find out what Canadians think, discover which services and supports they value most and understand their views on access and best approaches to palliative care.
Read the Ipsos Report here.
- WE REACHED CONSENSUS! We brought what we heard from Canadians to a national Consensus Development Conference which was held in Ottawa November 7-9, 2016. At the conference, a lay panel of interested Canadians deliberated on what they heard from Canadians, and listened to and questioned experts on how quality palliative care could be delivered. This Lay Panel, chaired by Don Newman, former broadcaster and public affairs consultant, reflected on what they learned and then developed a national consensus statement on palliative care.
Read the Consensus Statement here.
What's Next?
- POLICY OPTIONS AND IMPLEMENTATION PLANS. The consensus statement is at the heart of a road map for Canada. The Conference Board of Canada has prepared a report outlining potential policy options and implementation plans to guide governments, health care organizations, professionals and other stakeholders.
Join the conversation.
- Join our mailing list and receive updates.
Canada is at a turning point when it comes to palliative care. We need a national strategy so that everyone can access timely, quality care in the last phase of their life.

2004 Mazda MPV - Consumer Review
Build Quality
Reliability Value
Build Quality
Reliability Value
great van, great price
By eureka001 on
Vehicle2004 Mazda MPV ES 4dr Minivan (3.0L 6cyl 5A)
ReviewI pondered a while about which minivan
to purchase and test drove Odyssey,
Sienna and MPV. In the end I decided on
MPV because of its size and its cost.
MPV's size is just right - can fit a
lot of stuff, but handling and
parking is like that of a sedan. We had
this van for a few weeks and it's been
great. It really is fun to drive. My
wife, who was very worried about
driving a minivan is perfectly
comfortable with it now. So far I
didn't notice any problems with the car
(like mentioned missed gear shifts).
Finally, it is 3-4 K cheaper to
comparably equipped Odyssey!
Best FeaturesThe way it looks - I think it is quite sporty (for a minivan at least); The right size - enough room and it is not a huge elephant; Luxurious interior - m-u-u-u-c-h better than more expensive Sienna; It's cheaper than competition; Fun to drive
Worst FeaturesAircon doesn't seem to be that powerful (So. California summer) - it cools the car eventually but not as quick as my sedan; The ride is a little harder (i.e. feel the road bumps more) than Odyssey's

It's that magical time of year where we all pound eggnog, cook some chestnuts on an open fire and film videos about working capital loans.*
Direct Capital Director of Client Services Scott Lynch got a little shot of the Christmas spirit this week and we decided to take advantage of it by putting together this short video explaining why this is the perfect time of year to put a working capital loan to work for you. To make it extra festive, we put him in front of a Christmas tree. The result? Dazzling.
It took surprisingly little convincing to get him to wear the hat, in case you wondered.
Let us know if you enjoyed the video, and happy holidays, one and all!

Bag: Vintage
As far as my outfit is concerned I can tell you, that except of the hat everything is at least 3 years old. I love reshopping my closet. I got this super flirty dress 3 years ago for christmas and never wore it since then. A pair of nice burgundy booties would have been a great match with this look but the Mango ones I ordered were super chic but uncomfy, so I returned them and still on the hunt for a nice pair. If you see some elegant yet comfy booties let me know.

The City of Cape Canaveral, Florida, is best known for being the launching site of NASA space shuttles throughout the history of the United States space program. Located in Brevard County, Cape Canaveral is just 60 miles from the popular tourist destinations of Orlando and Disney World. If you're cruising through the city in your Cape Canaveral rental car, you might want to stop by the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex, Canaveral National Seashore or the Cape Canaveral Lighthouse.
The Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex
For a look at the history of United States space flight up close, drive your Cape Canaveral rental car over to the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex, located at Kennedy Space Center, SR 405. The visitor center features a variety of exhibits, artifacts, displays and attractions on the history and future of human and robotic spaceflight. You can also explore the Apollo/Saturn V Center, north of the VAB and the United States Astronaut Hall of Fame. Recently, it was announced the Astronaut Hall of Fame exhibit would be moved from its current location to another location within the Visitor Complex to make room for an upcoming high-tech attraction titled "Heroes and Legends." The attraction is set to open sometime late 2016.
Canaveral National Seashore
For some rest and relaxation far from Space Coast tourists, drive your Thrifty rental car to Canaveral National Seashore. You won't regret it. Situated between New Smyrna Beach and Titusville, the park is located on a barrier island, giving it the feeling you are miles away from reality. The beach features 25 miles of pristine Atlantic Ocean, soft dunes, and more than 1,000 plant species and 310 bird species. Canaveral National Seashore's 25-mile-long beach is the longest undeveloped beach on the east coast of Florida. Depending on where you're standing, the John F. Kennedy Space Center can be seen at the southern end of this barrier island. Historically, access was often restricted to this part of the beach during launch-related events at the space center. The space shuttle facility is easily visible from the approach to Parking Lot #1.
Cape Canaveral Lighthouse
Adjacent to the Kennedy Space Center sits the historic Cape Canaveral Lighthouse. Established in 1848, the lighthouse was built to warn ships of the dangerous shoals that lie off its coast. Located inside the Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, it's a short drive over from the city in your Cape Canaveral rental car. The lighthouse stands at 151 feet and is open to the public as a part of the Air Force Space & Missile Museum public tour. However, visitors can only climb up to the fifth floor of the lighthouse because the remaining floors have been deemed a safety liability by the Air Force. Special tours may be available by request.

The former Burnley man has been in sparkling form for Southampton this season and is on offer at 9/1 to open the scoring, but if you fancy him to find the net any time during the game, he is best priced at 10/3 with William Hill to do so. If punters fancy him to take his first international game by storm, he is available at 10/1 with Ladbrokes to be named man of the match.

The Romsey Relay Marathon is a community event held in the spring of each year, on the Broadlands Estate. Originally inspired as part of the Olympic Legacy, the Relay Marathon is a unique event, open to the whole community, raising both funds and awareness for local charities and good causes of your choice.
Following the success of the last four Relay Marathons, The Rotary Club of Romsey will again be organising the event in aid of your charities. The Relay Marathon gives an opportunity for anyone to partake in a Relay Marathon, as part of a team who collectively will run the 26miles and 385yards. The 5th Relay Marathon will be held on Sunday 14th May 2017 and will again be hosted at the Broadlands Estate on the outskirts of Romsey.
If you can persuade your colleagues, family and friends to Get Involved and enter a team then do get in touch. Remember, if you can't get a team of 10, some can run more than 1 competitor stage (2 laps), so long as the whole team collectively completes the 20 laps.
The Relay Marathon is an event held by the community, for the community. Everyone can Get Involved somehow.
There are several ways in which you can do something. Encourage your colleagues, friends and family to Raise a team, encourage your company to place an advert in our programme and if you know of a charity in need of support, encourage them to look at our charities page. Finally if you are unable to participate in any other way, you could act as a marshal on race day, or send a donation. Everyone can Get Involved somehow.
Your team can consist of up to 10 members, who will take it in turn to run 2 laps of a 1.3mile course before passing the baton to the next team member. The oldest competitor to date has been aged over 80 and the youngest was 8 years old, so there is scope for everyone to get involved. The event caters for both able bodied runners and those with disabilities. The race begins at 10am and course marshals withdraw at 3pm, but so far every team has completed the race well within that period. There is an entry fee of £120 (with a £20 early bird discount) per team, every penny of which goes towards Rotary charities.
There are hundreds of charities and good causes that support people in and around Romsey. This is your chance to support them.
Charity revenue is always under strain, and it is essential that individuals, businesses, clubs and societies rise to the challenge and Get Involved in supporting causes that serve their local community. It is equally important for charities to get be able to raise awareness of various causes and showcase their work to the local community. To this end, the Relay Marathon acts as an opportunity for local charities to Get Involved with schools, businesses, sport clubs and families to spread the word about their work and also raise vital funds. At least 50% of the monies raised goes to charities and good causes serving the Romsey area.
If you are looking to fundraise, or have already fundraised for a charity then why not consider contacting them and seeing if collectively you could enter a team? Or, if you are a charity looking to showcase your work then contact us about having a stall on race day.

Pocket Garden
One Planet Picnic Pocket Garden competition provides a great opportunity for pupils aged 3-18 to investigate plants and food, develop creative design skills and apply that knowledge to create a sustainable garden. For 2017, the competition was part of the Year of History, Heritage and Archaeology partner programme.
All entries were designed by young people using plants that can be eaten, that attract biodiversity and which reuse something which would otherwise have been thrown away.
Winners were invited to build and display their garden in the Living Garden area at Gardening Scotland 2017. The garden was visited by the BBC Beechgrove Garden team, the Scottish Government Minister for the Environment, the Scottish Government Minister for Education and the Lord Provost of Edinburgh.
Thanks to members of the Garden for Life Forum for supporting this competition and for helping to judge the winning entries.

Our Remicade leukemia lawyers are currently investigating the link between leukemia and Remicade treatment in both adults and children. It's long been known that Tumor Necrosis Factor (TNF) blockers, like Remicade, may increase risks for cancer, including leukemia. Since 2008, the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) has issued several warnings regarding the association between cancer, including leukemia, and TNF blockers like Remicade.
If you or someone you love were diagnosed with leukemia while being treated with Remicade, filing a Remicade leukemia lawsuit may enable you to obtain compensation for your medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering and other damages. The Remicade side effect lawyers at Parker Waichman LLP are offering free legal evaluations to victims of Remicade leukemia. To learn more about the legal options available to you, please contact our Enbrel leukemia lawyers today.
Remicade and Leukemia
Remicade is an injectable drug used to relieve the symptoms of certain autoimmune disorders including:
- Rheumatoid arthritis that is also being treated with methotrexate.
- Crohn's disease in adults and children 6 years of age or older that has not improved when treated with other medications.
- Ulcerative colitis in adults and children 6 years of age or older that has not improved when treated with other medications.
- Ankylosing spondylitis
- Psoriasis
- Psoriatic arthritis
Remicade works by blocking the action of TNF-alpha, a substance in the body that causes inflammation. However, TNF-alpha also helps prevent the formation of tumors and other malignancies.
In June 2008, the FDA announced it was investigating a possible increased risk of cancer in children and young adults treated with TNF blockers, including Remicade. The agency said at the time it had received 30 reports of lymphoma leukemia, melanoma, and solid organ cancers occurring in children and adolescents treated with TNF blockers.
Just a little over a year later, in August 2009, the FDA announced that warnings regarding leukemia and other cancers would be added to labels for all TNF blockers, including:
- Updates to the Boxed Warning to alert healthcare professionals of an increased risk of lymphoma and other malignancies in children and adolescents treated with TNF blockers.
- An update to the Warnings section of the drugs' labels described reported cases of leukemia in adults, adolescents, and children.
- Changes to the Warnings section of the labeling also included additional information on malignancies in children and adolescents.
According to the FDA, a total of 48 cancers, including leukemia, had been reported among children being treated with TNF blockers. Of the 48 cancer cases, 11 involved deaths.
For leukemia specifically, the FDA's review uncovered 147 post-marketing reports of leukemia in adults, children and adolescents using TNF blockers. The most frequently reported leukemia types included:
- acute myeloid leukemia (44 cases)
- chronic lymphocytic leukemia (31 cases)
- and chronic myeloid leukemia (23 cases)
Four reports to the FDA involved pediatric leukemia cases, and 30 deaths were reported.
Legal Help for Victims of Remicade Leukemia
If you or someone you love developed leukemia while taking Remicade you may have valuable legal rights. To discuss your case with one of our Remicade leukemia lawyers, please fill out our online form, or call 1-800-YOURLAWYER (1-800-968-7529) today.

Anger over Singer Lipa Schmeltzer in IDF Uniform: Hassidic Singer Upsets Haredi Jews
Anger over Singer Lipa Schmeltzer in IDF Uniform: Hassidic Singer Upsets Haredi Jews
The hugely popular Jewish singer Lipa Schmeltzer has stirred up controversy with his new music video in which he dons an Israeli Defense Forces Uniform reportedly in response to the heated debate over enlisting ultra-Orthodox Jews for military service. On a trip to Jerusalem earlier in the week, the self-styled Lady Gaga of Hassidic music posed in IDF uniform for the cameras in Zion Square accompanied by former soldiers from the ultra-Orthodox Nahal Haredi army unit. This provoked considerable anger in Haredi circles, where affiliation to the IDF is often taboo. This is not the first time Schmeltzer has attracted condemnation from the ultra-Orthodox community and has in the past been accused of 'ribaldry' for his outlandish videos. In 2008 thousands of Haredi fans were disappointed when the singer was forced to cancel a show at Madison Square Garden in New York when a group of 33 rabbis issued an edict against it. They accused Scmeltzer of luring young people away from the path of spirituality with his music.
