Back to Men's Basketball coverage
Former Kansas University power forward Darnell Jackson has signed a free agent contract with the Indiana Pacers, the NBA team announced on Tuesday.
Terms were not disclosed.
It is believed the contract is not guaranteed, meaning the 27-year-old Jackson will need to make the team in preseason training camp.
The 6-foot-8, 240-pounder who played for KU's 2008 NCAA title team, averaged 13.8 points and 6.7 rebounds a game last season for Reno (Nevada) of the NBA Developmental League. He has also played 138 games for the Cleveland Cavaliers, Milwaukee Bucks and Sacramento Kings with career averages of 2.2 points and 1.5 rebounds.
Jackson has also played for pro teams in Ukraine and China.
The Pacers on Tuesday also signed 6-5 guard/forward Ron Howard, who played for the Fort Wayne Mad Ants of the NBADL last season.
Adams to juco: Former KU guard Anrio Adams will play basketball for Odessa College in Texas this season, Adams told the Journal-World in a Facebook message on Tuesday. He was recently dismissed from Ohio University's program after transferring from KU following his freshman campaign.
McLaughlin to decide today: Jordan McLaughlin, 5-11 senior point guard from Etiwanda (Calif.) High, will announce his college choice at 4 p.m., today, in a news conference at his high school. USC is believed to be the favorite over KU, UCLA and Indiana. He's ranked No. 43 nationally by Rivals.com.
"Look for McLaughlin to pick Andy Enfield and the Trojans. If that happens, it will show that Enfield's hire of assistant Tony Bland has paid immediate dividends," wrote ESPN.com's Jeff Goodman.
"Indiana really never went hard after McLaughlin, Kansas is still waiting on Tyus Jones and UCLA appears to have prioritized Quentin Snider over McLaughlin. This would be a huge pickup for Enfield and Co., as they would have their backcourt of the future with McLaughlin and UNLV transfer Katin Reinhardt," Goodman added.
Turner update: No. 6-rated Myles Turner, 6-11 senior from Trinity High in Euless, Texas, will conduct an in-home visit with KU coach Bill Self on Thursday, Rivals.com reports.
ESPN reports that he will hold in-home visits with coaches from Texas and Kentucky today. Duke will also be visiting Thursday. He will visit KU for Late Night in the Phog on Oct. 4.
Way to go DJ! I hope you make the Pacers roster and hit the floor running. You are one of my all time fave Jayhawks, for so many reasons. Heart as big as a house and solid gold!
Rock those Pacers some big-time Chalk!!
Congrats Darnell. Always enjoyed watching Darnell play. Good luck in Indy.
Wishing you the best in making the Pacers team, DJ. You have earned it.
I think Bill gets most of his kids wwithbthe in home visits...and seals the majority of the rest with Late Night. Often you hear how impressed the parents are with Bill and his coaches. Direct, fair, no b.s.
D-Jack...keeping the dream alive. That's always great to hear. I wonder what his post basketball plans are? He hopefully has time but I suspect these guys are thinking about what to do down the road.
Here's wishing all things good for D-Block. If any player deserves a break in this game, he stands right up there with the most deserving. Absorbed an unconscionable screwing from NCAA, in my humble opinion. Then the sad family travails. Bill Self's program and that '08 Championship appear to be very bright spots in his young adult life.
Couldn't agree more. D-Block is a guy that, because of the way he handled everything that came his way, you root extra hard for good things to come his way.
To go from playing in happy days to directing Apollo 13, Ron's been everywhere.. And now basketball, impressive.
Andy Griffith?
I wonder if his brother plays too. He was the serial killer in the Los Angeles Seinfeld double episode.
"...the Fort Wayne Mad Ants of the NBADL last season." Who picks these NBADL team names? Maybe it's a mental thing to motivate players to "develop" quickly so they can move up to the League to avoid being "Mad Ants" for long.
Anthony Wayne, known as Mad Ant or Mad Anthony was the founder of the city of Fort Wayne. He was in the military..not really sure what he did, but I know that part of the story
Congrats DBlock from Midwest City, OK
"Kansas is still waiting on Tyus Jones." My first reaction was "Really? " The explanation on McLaughlin not picking Kansas is that we're waiting on Tyus Jones? The implication is that Self decided not to pursue McLaughlin, or even accept a commitment, because he would prefer Jones. Again, just assuming.
I then thought, "Is that the best approach?" Is it the best approach for KU to pass on the #43 guy on the off chance we get a top 10 guy who is a likely OAD? We are in the game on McLaughlin and have recruited him because Self has determined he's worth pursuing. A top 50 guy like this is perfect for Self and his program. Right?
But there is a good reason why Self may be waiting on Jones, and why he may have actually taken a pass on McLaughlin.
Self has Tharpe for 2014-15, and Mason. How much of an upgrade is McLaughlin? If we inked McLaughlin, he likely doesn't start in 2014-15, and then, is he better than Mason to be the backup? Or better than Frankamp if he emerges as a PG? Self can always pursue a top PG in the 2015 class. And he is.
The answer to question, "Why would Self pass on McLaughlin and wait on a guy (Jones) that might even be a long shot?"
Because he can.
HEM, Good points. I had been wondering the same myself. I would find it fascinating to know how these situations are handled by Self. We are, in theory, set at the point for awhile (assuming Mason is a good PG, or CF is). It would make sense to hold out for one of the top guys.
The points you bring up are why Jones will most likely not be in a Jayhawk uniform next year.
Tyrus Jones will be playing for Duke but regardless..we don't need another short (relatively) PG.
The only guard we sign next year is 6'7 Kelly Oubre. A SG with Selden type talent.
Miles Turner is leaning heavily towards KU. I think he waits to see if Embiid leaves before any decision.
jhawk- I think Turner inks regardless of Embiid. Turner knows that Embiid plays this year and may jump. However, if Embiid stays one more year, it's a developmental year for Turner either way, with or without Embiid.
If these recruits will learn Self's history with recruits and 1-3 yr guys, they could make a much better decision. I think McLaughlin and Turner are in two totally different situations. Turner knows he plays and will start fairly quickly. If these bigs are patient, they develop and grow under 1-2 yr bigs with experience at the D1 level. You then come in your second year likely to get some significant pt and maybe start. So it's a win win for Turner whether Embiid stays or jumps.
I want to see who commits first between Turner and Okafor. I think we have a good shot at Okafor for the same reasons as Turner. I think we get Alexander, Turner or Okafor and Oubre, and not holding my breath for Jones or any pg at this point. We lose Wigs, Wesley, and maybe Selden and/or Embiid. We will have at least 2-3 and maybe 4 depending on Selden/Embiid. Ellis will likely stay, but he is a possibility if his draft status blows up this year. I say we lose Wigs, Selden and/or Embiid and possibly Ellis if we win NC. We will lose either Selden or Embiid if we make it to the championship game. IF we fail to win NC, One of them stays and Ellis stays too. Ellis may stay through his senior yr regardless of each yr's results.
I would die if Wigs shocked the world of bball and stayed one more year. It makes you wonder if they fail a NC, if Wigs stays. It may not be too far fetched with his winning nature. He surprised the world once with his college choice.
I would like to think that you are correct in that Turner signs regardless. You have made a good case for that occurring but it's hard to read the mind of a very talented high school senior.
I would be surprised if we didn't sign Alexander and Oubre. They are both very versatile and have the talent to step in immediately. My only worry is that I don't want to emulate Kentucky.
Hem made a very good point about passing up the #43 ranked player for a possible OAD. Self has done very well with these types of players.
One game away from the final four with Morningstar (unrated), Tyrel Reed #109, Tyshawn Taylor #77, Markief Morris #49 and Marcus #32
Personally, I think that far out shines Trey Burke and his miracle shot.
HEM- It appears this kid is high on USC. It seems they have recruited him really hard. They seem to need him more than KU. We've all discussed starting pgs, bench pgs, and future needs. This kid is not going to sit for 2-3 yrs, only to watch Tharpe for a year, Mason/CF for 2-3 years, and maybe get a chance his last 1 or maybe 2 yrs to play. He will likely start from day one and start through his last senior game at USC. He's all about the pt, not anything else.
I read your first paragraph the same way. I thought, hmm, maybe we have a chance with Jones. But then I read where McLaughlin is a big USC lean. Then again, your third little post, "But there is a good reason..." and thought maybe Self knows more than we realize.
I totally agree with your fourth paragraph as I stated above. Perfect ending to your post, "because he can." LOL
Anrio Adams. Ping pong ball.
Hey, hey, hey....... big props to Rio. Isn't it every college player's dream to leave KU for Odessa College ?
Talk about a fall from grace, huh?! From the number 1 program in the country, down about 500 or so to an obscure community college somewhere amongst the tumbleweeds in west Texas. I shouldn't be too hard on Odessa, on second thought. I mean after all, it IS the county seat of Ector County.
I mentioned this before in a prior post .. being "humbled" may be exactly what Adams needs. He has his entire future in front of him. He does have the talent. There is no reason why he can't spend a year in Odessa community college, prove he has his head on straight, get good grades, and transfer to a D-I west coast school (where he wants to be).
...or he may just be a knucklehead (if we're talking possibilities).
After seeing the way he handled himself in the handshake line with Coach Williams after the UNC game last year, this seems like a viable possibility...
Like he said we he announced his intention to transfer, he wants to be playing closer to home. oh, wait....
Wow, from KU, NC contender, to Odessa College. Hey, props to Rio for doing what is needed to get things done.
I would agree, I would rather have Mclaughlin than Jones. We could have him longer and we don't need a point guard right now so he woul be a great get.
Self has quite oft been maligned as not getting the so called right guys for his teams, but with the results he achieves with the likes of, lets say, his 2011 squad, we should all be content that he won't soon be on Who Do You Think You Are?, and is certainly not a descendant of Old Mother Hubbard. I'm far more concerned about him heading to the L than who he lands with the LOI. JMO.
And having all four of them on the team at the same time is a good thing?
Voted number one regular season play. Darnell steals, spin move then scores against Yale.
Odessa is actually a very good fit. They are one of the best junior colleges for bball in the nation.. and the city of Odessa is a good college town (about 100k people).
Ok, Mr Mayor of Odessa - things must have picked up wonderfully in the last 26 years. When I left Houston in 1987, the metropolis known as Midland/Odessa, Tx was also known as the armpit of the Southwest. (no offense to armpits)
Actually, it is known as the " Jackrabbit roping capital of Texas ". Look it up.
That's really about all that anyone needs to know about Odessa, Tx.
Yeah, THAT'S what I meant to say.
drgn, thanks for the article.
I had mad love for Ol Roy when he was a Jayhawk. I hated his guts with everything I have when he left for Traitorville, NC. But the dude can coach. Anyone that thinks otherwise is an idiot. And he's still really a great guy (yes, I'm over it now.....mostly). I never, ever root for North Carolina, but I still like Roy Williams as a person and as a coach.
Does Mclaughlin commit at 4 kansas time?
A better fit all around. Don't think I saw a single reference to Kansas.
With all of the comments about Okafor being a possiblity........isn't he serious about a package deal with Jones? If we don't get Jones...........we don't get Okafor?
Great picture of Darnell. Every time I read something about him hanging on in the league it makes me smile.
Love DJack. I've lived in Indy most of my life and the Pacers are my NBA team....with that being said, unfortunately he will not make this roster. They made moves in the offseason to strengthen their bench, especially this position. I don't see him beating out Luis Scola who backs up David West. Hopefully he can develop a bit more practicing against them and turn some heads in the preseason and make an active roster.
Jones and Okafor are going to either Duke or UK. KU will have best shot at Alexander (b/c of the gf) Turner and Oubre. I don't see Embiid being ready a year from now but we will have to see what develops. Wiggins and Selden both OAD. Perry stays for 3rd year I think

Gulabo's Brunch and BBQ is a new, fast-casual Halal and Pakistani restaurant in Carrollton. It is owned by executive chef Muzasfar Kushmiri, who has more than 10 years of experience working in kitchens in Pakistan and all over the globe.
Gulabo's is operated by husband and wife team Ibrahim Choudhry and Aisha U-Kiu. The restaurant is a two-year pilot project through their organization, Gulabo's Ventures. Independent from the restaurant, Gulabo's Ventures offers small business consultations to DFW entrepreneurs, specifically South Asian women, with the goal of empowering immigrant women.
They opened Gulabo's because they wanted to create a restaurant that caters to the next generation of South Asians. U-Kiu, Choudhry and Kushmiri worked together to develop a menu that plays to Kushmiri's strengths as a chef. He is a specialist in paratha, a flaky flatbread, and kebabs.
"There's no other chef in DFW who make paratha and kebabs like he does," U-Kiu says.
The menu they settled on features traditional South Asian foods with a format that appeals to all audiences. The $10 barbecue basket allows you to pick a meat, a sauce and a bread. There are five options of each, including items like dangal kebab, chicken tikka boti, Texas barbecue sauce, Bastra jalapeno sauce, butter naan and laccha paratha.
There are also family-sized specials that include all the meat items they offer — at $35, $45 or $60, depending on number of sides, bread and drinks.
Gulabo's serves brunch whenever they are open and has three menu options. There is the salt and pepper, a garden omelette served with crispy paratha; the sweet and savory, with halwa, poori, aloo and cholay; and the ginger and spice, with beef Nihari and butter naan. Prices vary from $5 to $30, depending on if you get one, two or four orders of each.
They also have a Halal bar centered around non-alcoholic drinks. Popular items include the Rooh Afza, a bright-red rosewater lemonade and Gulabi Chai, hot chai served with pistachio and almond shaving, a drink unique to the Kashmir region. If you want something special, ask for the mango lassi; it's on the secret menu.
Gulabo's soft launch was July 1 and since then, word of mouth has been strong.

"We've had a great response from the community," U-Kiu says. The grand opening is still in the works.
"Our vision is beyond just the food," U-Kiu says. "There's so much more that can be done to empower women, not only in the nonprofit world, but also the small business world. We wanted this space to be not just a restaurant. We want it to be more of a community center."
In line with that goal, Gulabo's Ventures just announced a $1,000 scholarship for South Asian female high schoolers in North Texas.

It seems Brie Larson will have to hang up her Captain Marvel suit for a while since she's getting ready to step into the shoes of another amazing character. The Oscar winning-actress just landed the lead role in an upcoming CIA drama series, ordered by Apple.
This female-driven project will be on based on Amaryllis Fox's upcoming memoir Undercover: Coming of Age in the CIA. It's been described as a "provocative and contemporary look at a young woman's journey in the CIA, told through the prism of her closest relationships."

It's still unclear when we'll get to see this series. The Oscar-winner is currently busy promoting her new film Captain Marvel, and she'll reprise the same role in Avengers: Endgame next month.

Today's Football Transfer News looks at Manchester United's interest to bring in Real Madrid's Gareth Bale this summer and Marouane Fellaini's undecided future. FTN, brought to you by Last Word on Football, also looks at Riyad Mahrez and Russian midfielder Aleksandr Golovin.
FTN: Latest on Fellaini, Mahrez, Bale and Aleksandr Golovin
Fellaini's Future Still Undecided?
Marouane Fellaini announced earlier this week that he will make a decision on his future on or before July 1st. The Belgian midfielder is a controversial player among Manchester United fans, with many wanting him to leave this summer. Fellaini rejected several contract extensions, as the club were not willing to meet his demands of £120,000 per week.
Fellaini has been a favourite of manager Jose Mourinho, who has only had positive things to say about the defensive midfielder. Rumours have been coming out that Manchester United have been able to tie Fellaini down to a new three-year contract.
It has been reported that AC Milan are willing to meet the players' demands and so it will be interesting to see where the Belgian will be playing next season.
Mahrez Mayhem Coming to a Close?
After an eventful winter, Leicester winger and former PFA player of the year, Riyad Mahrez, may finally get his dream move to Manchester City. Algeria failed to qualify for this year's World Cup and as a result, Mahrez has enjoyed an extended vacation. Reports say that a fee had been agreed for £75million, however, the delay has been caused by the player wanting a cut of the profit.
Mahrez has been one of Leicester's key men in the past three seasons, and a move away could prove costly for the Foxes. The departure of N'Golo Kante highlighted the cracks in the Leicester side. Nevertheless, this deal seems as good as completed and the Foxes will need to find a replacement.
Gareth Bale Headed Back to England
Real Madrid's Gareth Bale may be a man on the move. The winger has not been able to settle into the Real Madrid squad in the past few years and a move to Manchester could be on for the Welshman. Real Madrid are reportedly demanding £176 million for Bale, however, are open to a swap deal for goalkeeper David de Gea or winger Anthony Martial.
London Clubs Battle for Aleksander Golovin
After gaining some international recognition from the 2018 World Cup, Aleksandr Golovin has gained interest from both Arsenal and Chelsea. Russia have been very impressive so far in the World Cup and the London clubs could see themselves paying a premium due to his standout performances on the biggest international stage.

The AIP diet is a way of eating designed to support those with autoimmune conditions. "AIP" stands for autoimmune protocol. This diet works to remove many irritating or inflaming foods and incorporate foods that are known to be healing or health-promoting. Specifically, the diet is helping you manage your autoimmune symptoms and improving your gut health.
The autoimmune protocol diet is like a more intense version of the paleo diet. The paleo diet eliminates some common allergenic or irritating foods. The AIP diet takes it up a notch. The AIP diet removes all of the foods that paleo removes but then also includes eggs, nightshades, nuts, seeds and coffee.
Foods that are encouraged to make it into an AIP diet are high-quality proteins, fruits, vegetables and healthy fats. Other health-promoting foods are encouraged as well, such as fermented foods, bone broth and organ meats.
As you can see, the foods included on a *strict* AIP diet are limited. But, for most people, the AIP diet can be followed in phases. Most experts agree that the diet doesn't need to be followed strictly forever. (We recommend working with your personal healthcare professional to figure out exactly what you need.)
Our general recommendation is to stick to the strict AIP diet for 30-60 days. This gives your body time to cut out common inflammatory foods and hit the reset button on your health. After your desired amount of time, you can begin to add foods back into your diet - slowly and deliberately.
We call this the reintroduction phase. Let's say after 60 days, you want to add eggs back into your diet. Try to eat some eggs on day one of your reintroduction phase. Wait two or three days before introducing another new food to see if your body has any reactions to the eggs.
If you notice a symptom (maybe you break out or have digestive issues), then you know that you still need to avoid eggs for the time being. You can then move on to the next food you'd like to reintroduce. If you eat this food, wait a few days, and notice no immune response, then it can be slowly included back into your diet.
It's important to know that this diet is not meant to heal your autoimmune condition (but for some people they might see this happen), but it can drastically help you improve or manage autoimmune symptoms.
Asperiores est quia eum provident dolor. Tempore eos sed. Aspernatur in quia in odio quos fuga. Optio maxime minus voluptatem reprehenderit nemo adipisci eaque eaque dolores. Praesentium culpa ipsum. Minus placeat sit quos. Labore eius reprehenderit harum

I love that I don't have to sit down and figure out what to make. I know that it will be balanced and good for me.
I tried one of the recipes this morning. It was simply amazing!
This has been the easiest diet I've ever been on. My husband is amazed at how easy it is for me to stick to it.

If, for some reason, you no longer want to receive meal plans, there's an easy one-button cancellation that immediately stops payment and cancels your account. No games about it!
People are always looking for more information on the AIP diet. Unfortunately, though, there are unhelpful and frankly unscientific resources out there, that's why we've come together to collect the best resources we can find. Read more below:

Magazine article The Christian Century
Twisters Not Random, Says Calvinist Preacher Piper
Article excerpt
An author and preacher popular in Calvinist circles says it is no accident that recent killer tornadoes followed paths that ravaged some communities while others were spared.
"Why would God reach down his hand and drag his fierce fingers across rural America killing at least 38 people with 90 tornadoes in 12 states and leaving some small towns with scarcely a building standing, including churches?" John Piper of Desiring God Ministries wrote in his blog on March 5.
Piper, pastor for preaching at Bethlehem Baptist Church in Minneapolis, said it is wrong to ascribe power capable of causing an estimated $2 billion worth of property damage to Mother Nature or the devil.
"God alone has the last say in where and how the wind blows," Piper said. "If a tornado twists at 175 miles an hour and stays on the ground like a massive lawnmower for 50 miles, God gave the command."
Piper made a similar connection in 2009 when tornado-force winds hit part of downtown Minneapolis just as the Evangelical Lutheran Church of America was voting at its national convention there to permit the ordination of gays or lesbians in partnered relationships. …

Life in the good old today belongs to the pensioners
These days the elderly are comfortable in their own skin, and a self-pitying and over-sensitive society doesn't like it
When I was young, I identified as an outsider just for cheap thrills, posing as a punk and a lesbian simultaneously when I moved to a new job in a new city.
I was a combative girl and viewed the "right" to join in fights that weren't "mine" with all the relish of a hungry glutton getting first to the breakfast buffet spread.
Imagine my delight, then, at being about to legitimately join society's most recently demonised group, the old, when I turn 60 in July.
I'll be one of those planet-despoiling, money-splashing old devils who is to blame for absolutely everything that has and can go wrong. I can't wait.
For my ancient peers in the real world, however, things aren't so rosy.
This week a tribunal ruled that it was perfectly OK to dump old dons "in order to boost diversity" after Prof John Pitcher – a leading Shakespearean scholar at Oxford – claimed to have unfairly been given the heave-ho at 67.
Over at another haven of the Great and the Good, the BBC not only has a whopping gender pay gap, but also a creepy tendency to sack its female presenters at around the age they would have ceased to be attractive to the late Jimmy Savile.
And last month a House of Lords select committee advised that gratis TV licences and bus passes might also be surrendered "in the interests of generational fairness".
Being told by the snoring old bores of the Lords that one is a freeloader surely takes the pot and the kettle into uncharted territory.
Singling out any section of society for a dressing down is a shabby thing to do, but the old are unique in that, as we're all going to get old, people can pretend they're not bashing them because they'll eventually be one of them.
But this is the sting that makes their taunters loathe them more; the old are a reminder of our fate, mocking our illusions of youthful immortality.
They're like peasants: in other countries, the workers can be idealised as earthily authentic; here, they're pasty-chomping chavs.
Similarly, old people in other countries – from Italy to India – are seen as wise beings worthy of being cared for in respectful extended families; in Britain we send them to fancifully named care homes, while counting down how many of their deaths it will take to swing the pendulum to Remain.
It's been particularly pathetic to see the likes of the Liberal Democrats – a bunch of dinosaurs by anyone's reckoning – and their "Bollocks to Brexit" slogan, trying to get down wit' da kidz with all the conviction of Mr Pooter chatting up Cara Delevingne.
In the past, the old could be written off as stick-in-the-muds, but now there's not even that comfort – they're no better than they should be, with their (relatively) rocketing alcoholism and STD rates.
For the first time there is an odd element of envy involved: the boozy, bed-hopping beneficiaries of some sort of superannuated Eden of triple-locked pensions and jobs for life.
Last year's book, The Happiness Curve, claimed life satisfaction declined from youth through middle age, hitting a low at 50 and rising to a peak at 70.
Meanwhile, youngsters cling on to their virginity, make a fizzy water last all night and complain about the weather in the shape of climate change.
Our loathing of the old has gone hand in hand with our elevation of the young.
Fifteen years ago I had a friend who kept resigning from waitressing jobs because the middle-class mothers who lunched at the restaurants of Brighton and Hove would ask her to change their children's nappies and be incredulous when she refused.
These entitled little rotters have now grown up into the types of people who bring traffic to a standstill on protests against emissions that their poor put-upon parents probably drove them to.
Meanwhile, the old – who have seen too much of life to worry – have taken like ducks to water to the new technology, and would never dream of moaning about social media giving them a feeling of poor self-image, whatever that is.
"Wrap up warm and meet me at the cybercafe!" an old lady shouted happily into her mobile phone on the bus the other day.
The old seem comfortable in their own skin – even if it is all wrinkly and liver-spotted – and for this, in a self-pitying and over-sensitive society, they will not be quickly forgiven.

Giant liner on maiden trip met with disaster
330 miles from Cape Race and went to the bottom.
New York. —The greatest marine disaster in the history of ocean traffic occurred Sunday night when the Titanic of the White Star Line, the greatest steamship that ever sailed the sea, shattered herself against an iceberg and sank with, nearly, 1,500 of her passengers and crew in less than four hours. The monstrous modern ships may defy wind and weather, but ice and fog remain unconquered.
Out of nearly 2,400 people that the Titanic carried only 866 are known to have been saved, and most of these were women and children. They were taken from small boats by the Cunard Liner Carpathia, which found when she ended her desperate race against time, only the boats, a sea strewn with the wreckage of the lost ship, and the bodies of drowned men and women.
Among the 1.480 passengers of the giant liner were Col. John Jacob Astor and his wife, Isador Straus, Major Archibald W. Butt, aid to President Taft; George D. Widener and Mrs. Widener of Philadelphia. Mr. and Mrs. Henry S. Harper, William T. Stead, the London journalist; F. D. Millet, the artist, and many more whose names are known on both sides of the Atlantic. The news that few besides women and children were saved caused the greatest apprehension as to the fate of these.
The text of the message from the steamer Olympic reporting the sinking of the Titanic and the rescue of 675 survivors also expressed the opinion that 1,800 lives were lost. "Loss likely total 1,800 souls," the dispatch said in its concluding sentence.
It is hoped and believed here that this is unless the Titanic had more passengers on board than was reported. She carried about 2,200 persons, including passengers and crew.
Deducting 675, the known saved, would indicate a loss of more than 1,500 persons.
Deducting 675, the known saved, would indicate a loss of more than 1,500 persons.

The Major League Baseball Umpires Association criticized the one-game suspension of San Diego shortstop Manny Machado, calling it "a slap in the face" and "a disgrace to the game."
Machado was suspended for "aggressively arguing and making contact with" plate umpire Bill Welke as he disputed a called third strike in Saturday's game against the Colorado Rockies.
The association, in a post on its Facebook page on Tuesday, said the punishment isn't harsh enough.
"One game..one single game. What kind of precedent is that setting? It is NOT okay to throw a temper tantrum and physically touch someone of authority, just because you don't agree. Violence in all workplaces is not tolerated. Period," the group's statement read, in part.
Major League Baseball also fined Machado an undisclosed amount for the incident.
The suspension was to be served Monday night, with the Padres hosting the Milwaukee Brewers, but it was delayed after Machado chose to appeal. He told reporters before the game he didn't believe he made contact with Welke, who ejected Machado in the top of the fifth inning of the game won by Colorado, 14-8.
"I didn't touch him. I didn't think I touched him. Video says it all," Machado said of the encounter on Monday. "I think we've got a good case. I don't think anyone's ever gotten suspended a game for arguing balls and strikes. I think that's a little too much, a little unjustified, but there's a process to this, and we're going to go through it."
Machado argued with Welke after the umpire called a third strike on a pitch that was narrowly outside. Machado responded by throwing his helmet to the ground, walking toward the umpire, yelling animatedly in Welke's face and then throwing his bat to the backstop.
"A one game suspension for this type of behavior is a slap in the face of all umpires and a disgrace to the game itself," the umpires association's post continued. "Physical contact simply cannot be tolerated, and the penalties need to be swift and harsh."
The Padres signed Machado, 26, to a 10-year, $300 million contract during spring training. The four-time All-Star is hitting .264 with 14 home runs and 40 RBIs in 71 games.

On Wednesday, September 18, 2019 at 7:30 pm, the Beth El Synagogue of East Windsor, Mercer County Jewish Genealogy Society presents "The Jewish Marriage Contract and What it Really Says". Vital records (birth, marriage, death) have always been a valuable source of family information and sought after by genealogists. The Jewish Marriage Contract (Ketubah) is no exception. The information in the Jewish record actually complements the information in the civil record: the civil record typically identifies the bride and groom by giving their family names whereas the Jewish record gives their fathers' names instead. There is a basic difference between the civil and religious marriage records in that one focuses on the union and the other on the termination of the union.
This meeting discussion addresses what is contained in the Jewish marriage contract, explains what it really means and provides information that can be useful to family historians. Beth El Synagogue is located at 50 Maple Stream Road, East Windsor, NJ, 08520; 609-443-4454; www.bethel.net.

Why The Disney-Fox Merger Matters.
Something of a hotly debated topic recently in the entertainment industry is the prospect of a Disney-Fox merger which could see the mouse-house acquiring franchises such as the X-Men, but why does it matter, what does it mean for the future of Disney owned properties such as Marvel's Cinematic Universe? Let us explain.
Although the merger between Disney and Fox would finally unite the Marvel properties (we're hoping for an Avengers/X-Men crossover, come on Kevin! Please!)– it hasn't been easy to get the ball rolling since the move was first announced in December last year. Not only does the merger have to be approved by the US government, there's also the small matter of Comcast, owner of NBCUniversal, which wants a chunk of that 21st Century Fox pie.
Comcast, the current opponent to Disney has offered an impressive $65 billion – in cash – for the company's entertainment assets. As of 21st June 2018, Disney has bumped up its earlier bid to buy 21st Century Fox from $52 billion to a huge $71.3 billion.
Disney boss Robert Iger has said that, if its bid is successful, the Disney-Fox merger will "bring significant financial value to the shareholders of both companies. We believe that we have a much better opportunity, both in terms of approval and the timing of that approval, than Comcast does" Iger continued to say, according to The Wall Street Journal.
"We remain convinced that the combination of 21 Century Fox's iconic assets, brands and franchises with Disney's will create one of the greatest, most innovative companies in the world."
But do you agree with Bob Iger? Would you prefer a merger between 21CF and Comcast? Or do you just want that Deadpool cameo in Avengers 5? Let us know below! :)

Abu Bakar wary of Perak's 2 new attacking options
Last year in the FA Cup, PKNP FC were only narrowly beaten by eventual champions Pahang in the last four stage of the competition and this time around, Perak and at least 90 minutes of football stand in their way to repeat the feat.
In the first leg played at Manjung Munincipal Council Stadium last week, PKNP put on a brave show and showed plenty of improvement to hold Perak to a scoreless draw. That, after losing 0-4 to the same opponent, at the same ground just a couple of days earlier.
Having denied Perak a precious away goal, the advantage does sit slightly with PKNP going into the return leg on Saturday where any score draw would be sufficient to take PKNP through to the next round. Head coach Abu Bakar Fadzim knows Perak inside out but has his head scratching over two recruits potentially taking the field for the first time.
"We know Perak's strength in their wingers on both flanks who are among the best in the country. They are supported by their fullbacks at every opportunity. The only thing that is unknown right now are the two new imports. We've not seen them play and we will see what they can do in the first half. I will instruct my players to keep a close eye on them but hopefully they are still lacking fitness after only being here for a short period
"This situation is similar to when we were in the FAM Cup semi-final and drew the home first leg. We have to be really disciplined, compact and try not to make mistakes. We know they will go on the attack and we have to be patient and wait for the right time to go forward," said Abu Bakar.
Speaking at the press conference on Friday, announcing PKNP's capture of Pedro Victor who replaces the outgoing Siyovush Asrorov, Abu Bakar admits there's little he knows about Perak's two new signings in Ronaldo Henrique Silva and Raianderson da Costa Morais.
It might take Mehmed Durakovic some time to gel his new attacking duo to the team or they could start like a house on fire. For Abu Bakar, the challenge remains the same, which is to ensure that his team are able to soak up the expected pressure and pounce on any openings that they can get in Ipoh.

Linus Pauling Protocol
Linus Pauling, Ph.D. (1901-1994) was one of the most brilliant scientific minds of the 20th century. He was one of the first scientists to work in the fields of molecular biology, quantum chemistry, and orthomolecular medicine. Pauling was one of only four individuals ever to win two Nobel Prizes. He was also the only person ever to win a Nobel in two unrelated fields, and the only person ever to win each prize without sharing the award with another recipient. Pauling's doctorate was in the fields of physical chemistry and mathematical physics and, as such, his work focused on the nature of chemical bonds and the structure of molecules. Later in life, he turned his attention and vast base of knowledge toward the fields of health and medicine.
Pauling believed that cardiovascular diseasehas at its root a form of chronic pre-scurvy, caused by a long-term deficiency of vitamin C (ascorbic acid). This deficiency weakens blood vessels, making them susceptible to the formation of millions of tiny lesions/tears/stress fractures. The coronary arteries are particularly susceptible, as these vessels undergo the highest mechanical stresses as they open and are squeezed flat more than 100,000 times daily by the pumping action of the heart. After the damaged areas form, they begin to be coated by fatty deposits in an attempt to repair the weakened vessels. Over many years the repair process overcompensates and plaque deposits develop.
Several species including humans, other primates, the guinea pig, and the Indian fruit-eating bat don't endogenously manufacture vitamin C. Humans are one of only several animals that develops atherosclerotic plaque and has heart attacks. Sometime in the evolutionary past humans lost the ability to produce the vitamin. Until very recent historical times—about 100 years ago—this was of no consequence as man consumed a nutrient-rich, plant-based diet containing sufficient amounts of vitamin C not only to prevent outright scurvy but to stave off the deterioration of the arteries and the consequent formation of atherosclerotic plaque caused by the chronic presence of the disease.
The advent of the industrial and chemical farming revolutions, the development of modern farming methods, and the ascent of the fast food Western nations all have contributed to a food supply which is nutrient deficient in comparison to that of our ancestors. Thus, our current Western diet is sorely lacking in many nutrients including vitamin C. Seagoing wayfarers developed scurvy due to their inability to store a sufficient supply of vitamin C-containing foods such as fresh fruits and vegetables. In 1753 James Lind, a Scottish surgeon in the British Royal Navy, proved scurvy could be treated with vitamin C-containing citrus fruit. Although this has been known for over 250 years, the understanding has never been applied to modern medicine's treatment of heart disease.
While plaque consists of a variety of substances—fibrinogen/fibrin; lipoproteins; cholesterol and other fatty particles, as mentioned—it is now known that the principal glue-like substance that initially binds to the arterial walls is lipoprotein (a), abbreviated Lp(a)—a specific sub-type of lipoprotein. Lp(a) particles are particularly sticky due to lysine and proline binding site receptors on their surfaces. As the chronic state of scurvy progresses, continued deposition of fatty particles and liproproteins worsen the deteriorating atherosclerotic condition.
Dr. Pauling's simple but brilliant cure for heart disease is to supplement with high doses of Lp(a) binding inhibitors—the amino acids lysine and proline—and also vitamin C. These substances, when taken together, produce collagen, elastin, and other reinforcement molecules, thus strengthening and stabilizing the arterial walls. Further, lysine and proline fill the lysine and proline binding site receptors on the surfaces of Lp(a) molecules, neutralize their stickiness, and prevent them from contributing to further plaque buildup. They also release Lp(a) molecules from their anchor sites within the plaque, causing them to dissolve over time.
Even end-stage cardiovascular disease patients have reported results including cessation of angina pain, reduced blood pressure, and lipid normalization. Pauling found the effects of this therapy were so pronounced he doubted clinical studies would even be necessary.
Autopsies of soldiers from the Korean and Vietnam wars revealed that up to 75% of soldiers in their early 20s had already developed some form of atherosclerotic deposits. Therefore, we know that atherosclerosis isn't a disease affecting only those of advanced age. Further, Dr. Matthias Rath, a renowned German cardiologist and colleague of Dr. Pauling, discovered that—depending on lifestyle—atherosclerotic plaque formation can increase at an average rate of almost 50% each year. Because it's an aggressive disease which afflicts such a high percentage of Westerners, it would be prudent for most everyone to consider supplementing with the group of plaque-reversing nutrients discovered by Drs. Pauling and Rath.
Because atherosclerotic deposits form over the span of many years, it takes time for the vitamin C, lysine, and proline combination to halt and begin to reverse the disease. As reported in 1996 in the Journal of Applied Nutrition (2), Dr. Rath and his colleagues discovered that in people with early stages of coronary artery disease, during the initial six month period the growth rate slowed, and essentially stopped during the second six months, as measured by EBCT scans. Thereafter, the deposits began to dissolve. More advanced atherosclerosis may take longer before the benefits are measurable. Despite these findings, Pauling noted that amazing symptom reversals in as little as 10-14 days are ordinary occurrences.
Dr. Pauling's dosage recommendations are:
- Vitamin C as ascorbic acid—not other forms such as buffered vitamin C or Ester C®: 3-10 grams (gm; 3,000-10,000 mg) daily in divided doses for prevention; 10-18 gm daily for therapeutic treatment, to bowel tolerance. If diarrhea occurs, decrease the dosage slightly
- Lysine: 2-3 gm daily for prevention; 5-6 gm for therapeutic treatment, and
- Proline: 250-500 mg daily for prevention; 2 gm daily for therapeutic treatment. The protocol is faster-acting when sugar (sucrose, fructose, etc.) is eliminated from the diet and omega-3 fatty acids are included.

Literature Must Fall is not your typical literature festival; it is not about celebrating literature or placing writers on a pedestal. Instead, this event intends to demystify literature, challenging it head-on, questioning the values we pour into books and the authority we give to writers, confronting the power that the publishing industry holds. Through critique, discussion and self-reflection we will explore what it could mean to decolonise literature today.
We want to support radical thought, create space for experimental and heartfelt storytelling, and encourage readers and writers to speak their truth. We believe that in order to do this we must confront the reality as we see it. We've witnessed how radical ideas like decolonising get drawn upon as sexy and increasingly profitable labels, a source of funding and publicity, but there is little attempt to understand what it might really mean to decolonise. In this era of the radical-chic, words like 'decoloniality' and the idea of wokeness have become increasingly fashionable and increasingly meaningless. This is no coincidence; movements, books and individuals are routinely co-opted and instrumentalised, and thus the status quo is maintained.
Seeing things as they are and moving forward is complex. Can we still continue to talk about what we do as decolonisation or has the term been taken away from us completely? Are such labels alienating anyway? Can these conversations happen outside of university structures? Can we have conversations within, rather than performing always for the mainstream? Can our politics engage with layers of oppression rather than binaries? Is there any space or possibility for collective conversation and resistance? Can we go beyond the individualism, celebritification and commodification of our time and our selves, (the time is money, money is time approach, the pressure to turn ourselves into brands), whilst also considering the exploitation of PoCs' time, ideas, and resources? Although social media has enabled the connections, the decolonial wave, giving a voice to so many, is it now becoming a tool for individual branding, complicit with white structures in the creation of decolonial celebrities? Is all this talk of labels actually distracting us from the important work?
This event intends to demystify literature, challenging it head-on, questioning the values we pour into books and the authority we give to writers, confronting the power that the publishing industry holds. We intend the day to be an opportunity to meet like-minded people and continue the lines of resistance that Birmingham is known for. Our hope is that everyone who participates will take away at least one thought, idea or question that they didn't arrive with.

How do you live in the 21st century when you have the HIV virus, in other words when you are HIV-positive?
4 touching testimonies
We collected testimonials from four HIV-positive people who confide in themselves, explaining how they learned about their HIV status. They also talk about the first steps towards the doctors, the reaction of their entourage, in the professional environment ... and all the difficulties met because of their seropositivity.
Through their testimony, they convey essential messages for everyone!
This is what Chantal, Guillaume, Elise and Damien tell us.
Read these testimonials at once full of emotions, with anger sometimes, and especially that teach us a lot.
The importance of early detection
Unfortunately, there are still too many people living with HIV unknowingly and discovering their HIV status very late ... when the virus has progressed to the AIDS stage, or "Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome", that is, say the late form of HIV infection.
Today, most new infections are linked to people with the virus who are unaware of their HIV status. Hence the importance of early detection that allows HIV-positive people to be treated early, and to avoid new contagions.

What is a Visibility Audit?Know what's working, what's not, and where the real opportunities lie—our thorough SEO website audit will show you.
To get the most from your website, you need a sound SEO strategy. And to craft the best SEO strategy for your goals, you need to fully understand your website's digital visibility. This includes everything from traffic quantity and quality, to it's performance in search engines, to the technical elements that drive it.
SEO begins with a Visibility Audit.
The Visibility Audit is our unique process for establishing the current status of your website's digital visibility, and it's the first step to any SEO project we tackle.
Much more than a typical SEO website audit, our digital visibility experts review hundreds of checkpoints across eight key areas of SEO. Your results are scored and compared to the competition. We then use this information to pinpoint exactly what SEO tactics will be most effective at improving your website's rankings and increasing qualified traffic.
What goes into a Visibility Audit?
Our experts collect and analyze data from eight key areas that influence your website's SEO.
- What sources drive traffic to your website?
- How do visitors engage once they're on it?
Technical SEO
- What technical issues are helping or hindering your organic visibility?
- Does your content present well in search?
- What content is performing best on your website?
- What pages need improvements?
User Experience
- Is your website optimized for mobile?
- Can visitors easily navigate and convert?
- Is Google Analytics configured properly on your website?
- Are you building high-quality backlinks that show your authority to Google?
- Are toxic links damaging your ability to rank well?
Local SEO
- Is your website optimized for local search?
- Do your profiles on local aggregators (such as Google My Business and Yelp) follow best practices?
- How do your top competitors compare to your website when it comes to SEO metrics like keywords and backlinks?
Much more than a typical SEO audit.
Many SEO providers use a single tool to provide an SEO website audit, (often one that's freely available,) and rely on its auto-generated recommendations for improvement.
At Pure Visibility, we collect data directly from your Google Analytics and Google Search Console accounts. We also use a variety of industry-standard applications, designed to analyze specific areas of your website's optimization. All of our analysis and recommendations are made by career SEO experts, not an automated system.
We present our findings to your team in a detailed report and provide custom checklists for improving your visibility, step by step. Our recommendations are prioritized to ensure your resources are not wasted with trial and error.
It's time to upgrade your SEO.
The Visibility Audit is available exclusively as part of our SEO Upgrade plans. You'll get everything you need to improve your digital visibility in 6 months or less.
We were surprised to discover that there were different keywords that resonated with our clients. We were able to take these keyword findings and not only use them within our search engine marketing, but also our offline marketing, making our messaging overall improved.
The biggest benefit of working with Pure Visibility is that we have more traffic visiting our site every day, and we are monitoring conversion rates to make sure that traffic is productive. Being able to track our online efforts, turn those leads over to our sales force, then see the increase in sold products is very exciting.
Very engaging, extremely knowledgeable and [they] do a great job answering the question you're trying to ask – even if you didn't ask the right question.
Pure Visibility is a very positive, culture-driven organization. Clearly the people within the company like and respect each other, they have a transparent environment, which means you as a client have a transparent environment with them.
The results of working with Pure Visibility are pretty easily measured; the most material one is the 72% decrease in cost of customer acquisition.
We began seeing ROI on our Google Ads within two months of working with Pure Visibility. They continue to demonstrate their wealth of knowledge and have been a pleasure to work with. We are a small company and Pure Visibility was willing to work with us when a lot of other companies wouldn't.
From an ROI standpoint, our Google AdWords campaign's performance improved about 200% within the first three months we began working with Pure Visibility.
Their staff never tires of combing through the details to extract the next significant step in honing our optimization. They always exceed my expectations and help me do my job in better ways. They deliver real, measurable results that directly affect our bottom line.
Pure Visibility provided game-changing information that steadied our course and allowed us to maintain our superior search engine ranking.
Conversions doubled within the first month after we implemented the new, optimized site layout Pure Visibility recommended.
Pure Visibility has provided us with excellent SEO support, including website audits, keyword research, and content creation. This effort has helped our overall organic traffic increase by 156% year-over-year.
We couldn't be any more pleased with the results of the audit, and even more so with the PV team. What a group!!
Take the first step to better SEO!
You're six months away from better rankings and more traffic! Our Visibility Audit will show you how, and an SEO Upgrade plan will get you there. Contact us and we'll help you pick the best plan for your budget and goals.

We have designed our process based on two decades worth of trial and error (a lot of the latter).
The aim is to give you (and us) a framework for making an educated and informed decision about working together.
Of equal importance, you will finish this process, irrespective of whether we decide to work together, knowing exactly where you stand when it comes to planning your retirement.
There is no cost or obligation for going through the first 5 steps of this process as we want you to know exactly how we can help you before you pay us a single penny in fees or trust us with your nest egg.
Retire with confidence using our unique 7-step process
Step 1 - 15 minute discovery call
This call gives us both a chance to make sure your situation matches our expertise. After all, you wouldn't see a Cardiologist if you needed foot surgery.
The call is free of charge and completely without commitment from either side.
If at the end of the call, we find that we aren't the right people to help you, we will happily point you to the right expert for your unique needs.
Step 2 - First full meeting
If we've both decided we're a good fit after our discovery call, the next step is a full meeting.
As with all our meetings, this will be conducted virtually via Zoom Meeting (you don't have to leave your home or office).
You will receive a simple checklist of what information to gather beforehand.
During this one-hour meeting, we'll get a clearer picture of your current financial situation, and dig into the questions that brought you to us in the first place.
Step 3 - Analysis
We will apply 20+ years of experience and thousands of hours of training to answer three critical questions for you:
1. Can you afford to retire?
2. Can your portfolio be improved?
3. Can you eliminate, or at least reduce threats to your retirement?
Step 4 - Recommendations meeting
During this meeting, we will explain, in plain English, exactly what you need to do to achieve your financial goals, including the answers to the three questions above.
This is also where we will provide you with the full picture of how we would work together, including the associated costs of doing so.
Step 5 - Sleep on it
With more than 20 years of experience, we are aware of just how important making the right plan for retirement is. Therefore, prior to deciding if we should work together, we will encourage you to "sleep on it."
We want you to answer these questions for yourself:
* Do I like/trust/respect the team?
* Will the benefits and value they provide exceed their cost?
* Do I feel confident that their advice will help me live my life to the fullest in retirement?
* Did they answer all of my initial questions clearly and thoroughly?
* Do I understand and agree with their investment philosophy?
We will follow-up within a few days to determine how you would like to move forward.
If you decide that we aren't a good fit to work together, we will not take it personally. In fact, we will wish you the best and help you find someone who might be a better fit. There is never a hard-sell or pressure to say yes.
Step 6 - Implementation
During this meeting, we will cover all of the steps needed to implement your retirement plan.
Step 7 - Ongoing service
Finally, after completing the onboarding process we'll begin our regular review process, where we'll meet virtually at least two times annually.

Macmillan was the last company to settle with the US Justice Department in February, when all of the other major publishes had settled months back. We are only now seeing some online book sellers discounting book titles from Macmillan.
Amazon, Barnes and Noble, and Apple iBooks are discounting ebooks and even matching each others' promotional deals. Meanwhile, Kobo and Google books are starting to discount books, but the better deals are found with the big three. For example, the The Silver Linings Playbook has a list price of $9.99, and you can get it from Amazon, Apple, and B&N for $7.99.
When Macmillan settled with the US Justice Department in February, it could no longer restrict the discounts that major ebook sellers could charge for their titles. This allows every front-list title to be severely discounted and give customers the ability to hunt around for the best deals.
Macmillan joins Hachette, Simon & Schuster, and HarperCollins in the top publishers currently offering discounts on their ebooks. Penguin has not begun to offer deals as of yet, and most major electronic stores still have the "Price Set by Publisher" flag.
Michael Kozlowski is the Editor in Chief of Good e-Reader. He has been writing about audiobooks and e-readers for the past ten years. His articles have been picked up by major and local news sources and websites such as the CBC, CNET, Engadget, Huffington Post and the New York Times.

The David Suzuki Foundation has released a video on the Squamish Estuary as part of a report and six-video series on sustainability for the newly elected council members across the province.
The Natural Capital Policy Review provides a review of policy options communities can use to create a green agenda for making communities healthier.
The videos outline real life actions that are having positive impacts on the environment and bring an interactive multimedia feel to a long policy document that would interest only a small group of people.
Squamish residents Edith Tobe and Kimberley Armour appeared in the two-minute video about the area where Howe Sound and the Squamish River meet.
Tobe, a biologist who heads up the Squamish River Watershed Society, explained in the video how B.C. Rail planned in the early 1970's to build an ocean terminal where coal could be moved from rail cars to ocean carriers.
"In order to do that, they started to dredge out the Squamish River and they put up what is called a training dyke to keep the river over to one side and in essence dry out the land so that they could build a coal port," said Tobe in the video.
According to Tobe, Fisheries and Oceans officials shut the project down in 1972. Since that time, a number of rehabilitation projects have taken place in the Squamish estuary to help bring the area back to its natural state.
"All of the plants you see here have been planted by volunteers since 2003," said Armour in the video with the estuary landscape and its relatively new plant life visible behind her.
Armour is part of an initiative that brings school students to the estuary to learn about its features and help with the rehabilitation efforts.
"In 2011, finally we're back with the area pretty much naturalized into estuary," Tobe said.
Projects like the Squamish Estuary rehabilitation are real life examples of the policies described in the Suzuki Foundation report.
The report and the videos can be found at www.davidsuzuki.org.

LOS ANGELES — Universal Studios has become the latest studio to release movies specifically for the Sony PlayStation Portable, a handheld game device that also plays movies in a special format.
Universal said Monday it will release six titles on Universal Media Disc (UMD), the proprietary format devised by Sony for the PSP.
Sony, The Walt Disney Co. and Twentieth Century Fox have previously said they will release films on the miniature disc.
Initially the studios are releasing films that appeal to young males, the audience most likely to buy the portable games device.
Among the titles Universal will release this July are widescreen versions of "Assault on Precinct 13," "The Rundown," "Van Helsing," "Dawn of the Dead: Unrated Director's Cut," "The Chronicles of Riddick: Unrated Director's Cut" and "The Fast and the Furious."
Earlier this month, Fox said it will release five titles this July, including "I, Robot," "Napoleon Dynamite," and "Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story."
Studios are embracing the format because, unlike current DVDs, the new discs include robust features to prevent the movies from being illegally copied.
The UMDs, which can hold 140 minutes of DVD quality video, typically cost about $20.

Estate Grown
River Junction AVA
Light golden straw in color with bright fruit aromas of pear, melon, and peach. The palate is driven by notes of stone-fruit, banana, vanilla, and a hint of buttered popcorn. Rich and decadent, our Chardonnay can be enjoyed on its own or with a delicious meal.
Harvest and Production Notes:
100% of the fruit for our Chardonnay came from McManis' very own River Junction AVA, located at the confluence of the San Joaquin and Stanislaus Rivers. We generally harvest in August with an average Brix of 24.1. The wine was cold fermented in stainless steel and filtered prior to oak aging. Approximately two thirds of the wine was allowed to go through malolactic fermentation to add complexity and texture.

Caesarean Section
A caesarean section is the name of the operation done to deliver a baby through a cut in your stomach and uterus (womb). In some cases this is safer than a vaginal delivery. The surgery is performed by an obstetrician and it usually only takes a few minutes for the baby to be born. A general or epidural anaesthetic can be used. Most women will be up and about within 24 hours of the surgery.
