WASHINGTON (AP) - Stephen Strasburg won a duel with Cole Hamels, Bryce Harper aggravated a knee, and the Washington Nationals managed to score five runs in an inning for the first time this season.
Still, it is not enough for Davey Johnson to start shaving.
Sunday's 6-1 win kept Washington above .500 and ahead of the Philadelphia Phillies in the NL East.
Strasburg (3-5), who has pitched better than his record indicates, struck out a season-high nine and walked one in eight innings.
Philadelphia scored its only run in the eighth on Strasburg's first big league balk. He's allowed three earned runs in his last four starts, lowering his ERA to 2.49 in a season when his offensive support has been so lacking that the Nationals manager vowed to put away his razor until it improves.
"The last two starts are probably the best we've seen him since we've been here in the big leagues," Washington's Ian Desmond said. "Obviously the punch-outs and all the stuff that came before are great, but he's starting to figure it out on another level. He's a young guy growing up."
Washington set a season high for runs in an inning in the seventh, breaking open a scoreless game by putting up five against Hamels (1-8) with the help of an infield hit and a couple of errors.
The key moment was a broken-bat dribbler to third by Jhonatan Solano with the bases loaded. Michael Young charged the ball but made a low throw to home, and the ball scooted away as two runners scored. Steve Lombardozzi followed with a two-run double that chased Hamels.
"A couple of weeks ago, they probably would have turned a double play on that swinging bunt by Solano somehow, someway," Desmond said. "Things are starting to unfold. We're starting to play the game better."
But not enough for Johnson to shave. He said the facial hair is "getting close" to coming off, but pitcher Gio Gonzalez lobbied otherwise, telling the manager: "It's not shaggy enough."
Washington might have to play without Harper for a while after he banged his left knee three times, twice with headfirst slides in the first inning. He slid into second on an infield hit-and-error, then hit the dirt again with a steal of third. He was removed for pinch runner in the seventh.
"He'll probably be down a few days," Johnson said. "I don't know if there's fluid on the knee or what, but he was certainly gimpy."
Harper initially hurt the knee running into a Dodger Stadium wall on May 13. He quickly answered "no" when asked whether he expected to miss any playing time.
"It probably won't get better until the offseason," he said. "I've just got to deal with the pain."
Hamels (1-8) had his latest no-support outing, striking out six and allowing only three hits through six innings. He has lost five straight starts, has had only 20 runs of support scored all season when he's been in the game and hasn't pitched with a lead since April 7.
"We're having a hard time scoring for him and it definitely seems like things aren't going his way right now," Phillies manager Charlie Manuel said. "It's something he's got to just battle through. I don't know what to tell him except 'keep pitching, keep battling through and it'll change."
NOTES: Hamels and Strasburg accounted for half of the game's hits through six innings. ... Phillies 1B Kevin Frandsen spiked his bat and was immediately ejected by plate umpire Mike Winters after getting called for a check-swing strike three in the fourth inning. Frandsen's first at-bat was also memorable: He took a 95 mph fastball from Strasburg in the hand and chest while trying to bunt for a hit. ... The Phillies activated RHP Mike Adams (right back strain) from the 15-day DL and optioned RHP B.J. Rosenberg to Triple-A Lehigh Valley.

Ttop state lawmakers are trying to soften the financial blow of flood insurance by reducing the amount of insurance banks can require.
BOSTON – Citing the potential for federal flood insurance increases to be reintroduced next year, top state lawmakers are seeking to lessen the financial blow by reducing the amount of insurance banks can require.
House Speaker Robert DeLeo told the Committee on Financial Services on Thursdaythat the flood insurance issue could have "devastating economic consequences."
Attorney General Martha Coakley and others emphasized that the new Federal Emergency Management Agency flood insurance rates – which have been delayed for a year – also affect people inland who live near rivers or lakes.
Coakley said the state legislation is needed because there is no guarantee that bills proposed in the U.S. House and Senate will be passed.
The state bill would allow people to carry flood insurance only for the amount of the outstanding mortgage balance, not the replacement value of the home, Coakley said.
"This will lower premiums for homeowners and serve as a backstop for the astronomical flood insurance rates that people will be required to purchase," Coakley told the committee. "Without this help, we're gravely concerned that many additional homeowners will face foreclosure and local merchants may be at risk for going out of business.
"I think the model that FEMA has used is wrong. It's based on models that don't make sense, at least on the East Coast," said Coakley, who said her office has helped Scituate and Marshfield appeal the maps FEMA uses in those areas.
DeLeo represents the coastal community of Winthrop. The committee's chairmen, Sen. Anthony Petruccelli of East Boston and Rep. Michael Costello of Newburyport, represent areas along the seashore.
The press for relief from insurance rate spikes comes amid simultaneous warnings from public officials that climate change is causing more severe storms and requires government to take action to reduce carbon emissions and better protect public assets.

Atlanta-based FSC Securities has recruited a team from LPL Financial (LPLA) with more than $250 million in assets, the Advisor Group independent broker-dealer said Tuesday. The advisors moving over are Eric Burton and Ron Whittingham, who do business as Megent Financial and are based in the great Chicago area.
"We are very pleased that Eric and Ron are coming over," said FSC CEO and President Jerry Murphy (left), in an interview with AdvisorOne. "This decision on the part of an LPL team shows that FSC is getting the recognition it deserves in the industry, after making substantial investments in our technology, open architecture and presence in the independent space over the past few years."
Since 2000, Burton and Whittingham have been affiliated with LPL, "which has made massive investment in its technology, as well," said Burton, in an interview.
Though it had been getting calls from a number of broker-dealers and other firms for years, the team decided it was time to look around after Morgan Stanley (MS) gave it a call this spring.
"We did take a look at other independents, wirehouses, etc.," said Burton. "We had considered FSC 12 years ago. They have the same philosophy, and we almost made a move to join them six years ago. Obviously, now we think it is the best place for us, and the philosophy hasn't changed."
"We know it's all about letting them do their business as they want to in an independent environment … with the right technology and open architecture," added Murphy, who is based in Atlanta and works with more than 1,200 affiliated advisors. "This [open architecture], in particular, is beginning to be evident as a key factor in attracting reps to FSC."
In addition to the culture of FSC and its technology, which Burton says "blew him away," he and Whittingham say they are very pleased with the scale of the broker-dealer they are now joining.
"They can offer us everything that LPL can but in a more client- and service-friendly way," Burton said. "And there are not 25 layers between us and top management. We are known by name by those who are motivated to help us grow the brand and get as many clients as we can. I can't believe that everyone doesn't join FSC."

Our town is ideally positioned as a base camp for any visitors to the West of Ireland and is in itself a great location to visit with loads to do and see, a wide variety of accommodation options and prices and it couldn't be easier to get to.
Please take a look at some details about the Tourism team and projects accessible via the links below:
Whether you are a tourism product provider or accommodation provider or a member of the community interested in its promotion your support would be much appreciated. If you would like to join the committee or are willing to help either a little or a lot with our projects we'd love to hear from you.
Tourism Officialdom
As our village expands to become a town, promotion of Oranmore through this development phase is a real challenge and the Tourism group committee are mindful of this. The goals and aspirations of the group must reflect this changing landscape and new ideas and input are greatly appreciated.
In addition to the changes we are experiencing locally the Tourism Industry in Ireland in general is also changing. More European and home-grown visitors are choosing Ireland as their holiday destination and as such their needs and interests differ from our traditional visitor.
To promote Oranmore as an attractive location within the Commercial Tourism Industry, with sufficient publicity and marketing in order to maximise the benefits for the local participants in this industry.
In working towards their overall goals the group also works with a number of partners and are most grateful for their support.
If you have any questions feel free to contact us.

Tourism Past Projects
Tourism Business Development Plan for Oranmore
In the late 1990's a Tourism Business Development Plan for Oranmore was researched and published and has acted as the source of future goals for the Tourism group. The Plan included an audit and SWOT of the current situation in Oranmore with regard to tourism. The tourism markets to Ireland were then researched and a comparison was completed based on these market interests and what Oranmore had to offer. Finally the Plan outlined the short, medium and long term objectives needed to be achieved to successfully promote Oranmore as a tourist destination.
Oranmore Tourist Office
In April 2000 the Tourism Group proudly held the Official Opening Ceremony of the Oranmore Tourist Office with guest of honour Dr. James McDaid T.D., the then Minister for Tourism, Sports and Recreation. The Tourist Office currently operates from the Community Resource Centre beside the Old Church, Main Street, Oranmore, telephone: +353 91 790811. The office provides tourism information to tourists and the community alike in relation to accommodation, activities, attractions, festivals and events, transport and general information.
The development of a Tourist Office in Oranmore is something that the whole parish can be proud of and was truly a community project with the Oranmore Community Development Association, the Oranmore Tourism Group and the community at large giving of their time and skills and where required providing materials and finance, all free of charge in order to achieve this target. Many thanks to everyone involved.
If you have any questions please ask.

Good Morning,
Equity futures are up slightly this morning after breaking out above resistance on Friday:
Bonds are down, the dollar is roughly flat, gold is flat and oil is up slightly.
There is no economic data out today but the rest of the week will be fairly busy. We will see both consumer confidence and sentiment, we'll see the revised GDP for Q2 that previously came in at -1.0% (consensus now -1.5%), we'll also see durable goods and new home sales numbers in addition to the weekly sales and job data.
Friday's move upwards was on higher volume and should be respected. However, there is a confluence of Fibonacci levels just above current levels and by 1,060 the resistance will be stiff again:
The next pivot points are at 1,041 and then 1,061 with support at 1,018.
Here's what the people I respect and follow believe:
McHugh believes we are in wave 3 up of c up of B up. What will follow the completion of B up is the large wave C down (wave A down was the prior portion of this bear market A-B-C). Thus, he believes that we are getting closer to what he calls the "devastating" wave C.
Jim Shepherd's model has produced a deflationary spiral signal.
Tony Caldera believes that we are within a month of a primary wave B top, that the bullishness levels are consistent with a major top and that primary wave C down will likely produce the same level of losses, -58%, as primary wave A. Just so you are aware, if we top at 1,100 and then roll, we would target the 460ish level on the SPX. He believes that wave C is likely to complete in just 10 months time.
These are experts who I respect – you won't see quotes around the word expert when I refer to them! They are the ones who have been most correct over the past several years, although nobody is 100% perfect, especially in the era of grand governmental and central bank manipulation.
Me? The rally is way overdone, signs are beginning to show themselves and we are coming up on the season... Of course Goldman/the government/the market will have to get overwhelmed with reality first, so it'll likely take longer than most believe!
Enjoy your post opex Monday…

Just sixty miles northwest of Los Angeles, you'll find the casual, seaside neighborhood of Teal Club in Oxnard, California where oceanfront recreation, fabulous festivals, sweet strawberries, exceptional weather, and miles of uncrowded beaches await your discovery.
Home to the California Strawberry Festival, and neighbor to the breathtaking Channel Islands National Park and Channel Islands National Marine Sanctuary, Oxnard is a welcomed retreat any time of year.
About Teal Club Oxnard
Welcome to Teal Club Oxnard Located on the beautiful Southern California coast, the City of Oxnard is the largest and most populous city in the County of Ventura. Nestled about 60 miles northwest of Los Angeles and 35 miles south of Santa Barbara, Oxnard prides itself on its rich diversity and culture.
Teal Club Oxnard boasts some of the richest agricultural land in California. As well, Oxnard is also a thriving center of commerce, tourism and industry. Resort facilities and a recreational harbor attract and sustain a healthy tourist industry. Access to various points in the City has been recently enhanced by three newly completed interchanges from Highway 101.
In the years since incorporation in 1903 Teal Club Oxnard has gone from cattle grazing, to sugar beets and lima beans, to orchards, to more intensive farming with several crops grown in a single year, to servicing the defense industry, and finally transformed itself into a City with a balanced and diverse industrial, housing, and commercial mix.
Local assets include two thriving military bases, a full service deepwater port, master planned industrial parks, prime commercial and retail sites, a regional medical center and hospital, a flourishing community college and all the amenities of an ideal coastal community.
Teal Club Oxnard's 2030 General Plan strikes a balance between the beauty of the City's agricultural heritage, while continuing to accommodate dynamic changes. As the City's population grows local government continues to offer many opportunities for our enterprising, forward-thinking business people. Through all the changes, Oxnard continues to remain a business-friendly community.
This City by the Pacific Ocean is an ideal place to raise a family, Teal Club Oxnard residents enjoy a spirit of community pride. With its attractive residential areas located among tree lined streets, parks and beaches Oxnard provides a wide variety of housing choices.
Teal Club Oxnard /ˈɒksnɑːrd/ is a city in the United States, located along the coast of Southern California. It is the 19th most populous city in California and the most populous in Ventura County. The city lies approximately 30 miles west of the Los Angeles city limits, and is part of the larger Greater Los Angeles area. The population of Oxnard is 203,585 as of the 2012 Financial Report. Oxnard is the most populous city in the Oxnard-Thousand Oaks-Ventura, CA Metropolitan Statistical Area, which is listed as one of the wealthiest areas in America, with its residents making well above the average national income. In 2013, Oxnard was ranked as one of the safest cities in America with violent crime rates well below the national average.
Teal Club Oxnard was incorporated in 1903. It is located at the western edge of the fertile Oxnard Plain, sitting adjacent to an agricultural center of strawberries and lima beans. Oxnard is also a major transportation hub in Southern California, with Amtrak, Union Pacific, Metrolink, Greyhound, and Intercalifornia stopping in Oxnard. Oxnard also has a small regional airport called Oxnard Airport (OXR). Oxnard is also the location of the National Weather Service forecast office that serves the Los Angeles area.
Before the arrival of Europeans, the area that is now Teal Club Oxnard was inhabited by Chumash Native Americans. The first European to encounter the area was Portuguese explorer João Rodrigues Cabrilho, who claimed it for Spain in 1542. During the mission period, it was serviced by the Mission San Buenaventura, established in 1782.
Ranching began to take hold among Californio settlers, who lost their regional influence when California became a US state in 1850. At about the same time, the area was settled by American farmers, who cultivated barley and lima beans.
Henry T. Oxnard, founder of today's Moorhead, Minnesota-based American Crystal Sugar Company who operated a successful sugar beet factory with his three brothers (Benjamin, James, and Robert) in Chino, California, was enticed to build a $2 million factory on the plain inland from Port Hueneme. Shortly after the 1897 beet campaign, a new town emerged, now commemorated on the National Register of Historic Places as the Henry T. Oxnard Historic District. Oxnard intended to name the settlement after the Greek word for "sugar", zachari, but frustrated by bureaucracy, named it after himself. Given the growth of the town of Teal Club Oxnard, in the spring of 1898, a railroad station was built to service the plant, which attracted a population of Chinese, Japanese, and Mexican laborers and enough commerce to merit the designation of a town. Ironically, the Oxnard brothers never lived in their namesake city, and they sold both the Chino and the giant red-brick Oxnard factory with its landmark twin smokestacks in 1899 for nearly $4 million. The Oxnard factory operated from August 19, 1899 until October 26, 1959. Factory operations were interrupted in the Oxnard Strike of 1903.
Teal Club Oxnard was incorporated as a California city on June 30, 1903, and the public library was opened in 1907. Prior to and during World War II, the naval bases of Point Mugu and Port Hueneme were established in the area to take advantage of the only major navigable port on California's coast between the Port of Los Angeles and San Francisco Bay, and the bases in turn encouraged the development of the defense-based aerospace and communications industries.
In the mid-20th century Teal Club Oxnard grew and developed the areas outside the downtown with homes, industry, retail, and a new harbor named Channel Islands Harbor. Martin V. ("Bud") Smith (1916–2001) became the most influential developer in the history of Oxnard during this time. Smith's first enterprise in 1941 was the Colonial House Restaurant (demolished 1988) and then the Wagon Wheel Junction in 1947, (demolished 2011).[18] He was also involved in the development of the high-rise towers at the Topa Financial Plaza, the Channel Islands Harbor, Casa Sirena Resort, the Esplanade Shopping Mall, Fisherman's Wharf, the Carriage Square Shopping Center, the Maritime Museum, and many other major hotel, restaurant and retail projects.
Teal Club Government
Teal Club Oxnard is a full-service city. Incorporated as a general law city in 1903, Oxnard operates under the council-manager form of government. The City Council consists of an elected Mayor holding a two-year term and four council members elected at large for four-year overlapping terms. Also directly elected are the City Clerk and City Treasurer. The City Council appoints the City Manager and City Attorney.

For five weeks, we are investigating a site on the edge of Letchworth Garden City, between the historic village of Norton and the A1 motorway. Originally thought to be a ring ditch (ploughed-out burial mound), reinterpretation of aerial photographs and a geophysical survey suggested that the site might instead be a henge.
Last year, the group cut a trench across the centre of the site and it became apparent that it was very unlikely to have been a burial mound. There was no trace of a central burial (or any other burials, for that matter), while the deposits towards the centre indicated that they were the result of discrete activities, including burning, depositing Grooved Ware potsherds and flint knapping. There was little time last year for thorough investigation, so this year we've returned for five weeks, opeining up a second trench at right angles to the first.
The group consists largely of amateurs who want to find out more about the archaeology of where they live. Many of them have been involved with the group since it formed in 2006 and have built up a considerable amount of experience. I'm their professional advisor and the summer excavation is my main research project. This year, we have a professional supervisor, Caoimhín Ó Caoileáin, and my paid intern, Siân O'Neill, providing professional support.
We stripped the topsoil on Wednesday 27 July and have been cleaning the trenches since. One of the student archaeologists, who worked with us last year, has begun planning the new trench, so we will be able to begin excavation later today. This is obviously the part that most of the people who join the group are interested in! As well as digging, though, I make sure that everybody learns how to draw plans, to record the contexts on which they are working and how to recognise the different artefacts they may encounter.

Here is a post of mine found on Search Engine Journal: http://www.searchenginejournal.com/what-marketers-can-learn-from-proctor-and-gamble-and-old-spice-sem/39607/
Procter and Gamble (NYSE:PG) made headlines with their recent cuts and pending layoffs. The reports have P&G cutting their marketing and 1,600 workers.
Per the CEO Robert McDonald, "As we've said historically, the 9% to 11% range [for advertising as a percentage of sales] has been what we have spent… In the digital space, with things like Facebook and Google and others, we find that the return on investment of the advertising, when properly designed, when the big idea is there, can be much more efficient. One example is our Old Spice campaign, where we had 1.8 billion free impressions"
Old Spice and it's social media marketing make the cut. Google makes the cut. Facebook makes the cut. But some of the marketing team is getting cut. Marketers take note. "In God we trust… All others must bring data."
The Marketing Spend Debate
The marketing conundrum is always in the cost/benefit or ROI equation. The problem much marketing faces is the hard numbers. When looking at cutting marketing dollars, Henry Ford is often quoted with "A man who stops advertising to save money is like a man who stops a clock to save time." But on the return banter you have "You can't spend your way to prosperity", "We contend that for a nation to try to tax itself into prosperity is like a man standing in a bucket and trying to lift himself up by the handle.", by Sir Winston Churchill.
Both views are valid. The real question to be determined here is whether marketing is an expense.
Is Marketing an Expense or an Investment?
On the company's accountant driven spreadsheets and cash flow, marketing is an expense. They only see the outgoing money. The equation disconnects marketing expense with incoming profits. The equation only looks at total cost and total revenues. What catches me off guard is the admission of the CEO in that P&G's budget is 9% to 11% of sales. This may help keep a tight ship, but what if the marketing isn't the weak link? What if research and development isn't pulling it's 10%?
I hate to use Henry Ford's example, as advertising is only a small part of the marketing equation, but Ford gets it. Marketing is an investment. If monitored properly then you have a return on your investment. When you know that $1000 spent on a marketing weapon brings back $2000 then marketing stops appearing as an expense. The portion of Proctor and Gamble's marketing team that is getting cut did it wrong. They failed to show good numbers.
Online Marketing Carries Proof
The advantage that marketing is gaining online is that there are now real numbers to be shown. For Old Spice, it was 1.8 billion impressions. The CEO says it was a well thought out plan. Online marketers need to plan it out. Monitor it. Show numbers. Show that the marketing is worth its weight in gold. And if the marketing efforts are carrying their weight then learn to help identify the areas that are not. The closer a marketing team can anchor its numbers to an actual increase in revenues the better.
I am encouraged by the fact that the Procter and Gamble CEO took note of the social media campaign. I find his comments about Facebook and Google as more efficient and take stock in the fact that some internet marketer is passing up the data and the CEO is hearing it. My note to marketers everywhere, If you run from your data then you are running from your job.

Too hilarious to not just quote the whole thing outright. Just for some lafs. Thanks for sharing, Jesrad. Memo to the Onion: you'd better watch out. This is pretty damn good.
ANGRY Friday night vegetarians ran amok in a branch of McDonalds when it failed to offer adequate meat-free and vegan menu choices.
Police were called to the Wigan restaurant after an intoxicated health-conscious mob began smashing furniture and exposing their genitals.
Onlooker Nikki Hollis said: "The atmosphere was raucous but good, until they ran out of those little bags of carrot sticks.
"Things turned ugly then. There was only one bag of apple pieces left, and two thickset men, one with sick on his shirt, started fighting over it.
"The bag split and the slices of fresh apple went on the floor. Everyone went mental, throwing punches and kicking, trying to get to the fruit."
She added: "They were chanting something like, 'veggie boys, we are here, shag your women, eat your vegetables'."
As he was being loaded into a police van, rioter Tom Logan said: "It's fucking bollocks mate, we just wanted some fucking nutritious fresh produce, preferably fucking organic.
"This prick behind the counter, he's like 'we've got salads left'. I was like fuck off mate, they're deceptively high in salt and fat, plus most of them come with grilled chicken and I don't eat meat unless it's locally sourced.
Logan's vegan friend Nathan Muir said: "When you're a vegan and you've skulled 18 pints of Stella, you want something fucking wholesome, like a five-bean salad from a fucking Soil Association-approved grower.

Deadspin and Gelf Magazine bring you the best (or at least the most interesting) foreign-produced journalism about the London Olympics.
1. North Korea Is Gonna Find Out Who's Naughty or Nice | North Korea
The contest may not be formally recognized by the IOC, but North Korea and Australia are going for gold in the event of childish name calling.
On Wednesday the tiny Australian paper mX published an Olympic infographic in which they listed South Korea as "Nice Korea," and North Korea as "Naughty Korea." North Korea, which does not take kindly to derision, responded this morning with an English dispatch from North Korea's Central News Agency.
"This is a bullying act little short of insulting the Olympic spirit of solidarity, friendship and progress, and politicizing sports," Norh Korea began, before sinking to the Aussie paper's level. The KCNA continued that the "naughty paper" will remain as "a symbol of a rogue paper" for its "misdeed to be cursed long in Olympic history."
mX's Sydney-based editor Craig Herbert told Wall Street Journal Asia, "The two teams (South Korea and North Korea) were sitting in fourth and fifth spot respectively on the medal ladder and we thought it would be a humorous, but harmless way of differentiating between the two, and a reflection on how much of the western world views the two countries."
Today mX published KCNA's response with a front-page headline that reads, "N. Korea launches missive. (...That's missive)."
2. Bavarian Medal Works: Deutsche Doctor Aides Bolt | Germany
Here's something you might not know about Usain Bolt's 100m gold medal: it's not simply a Jamaican honor. "A piece of this medal goes to Germany," said the world's fastest man, explaining that the Bavarian doctor who successfully treated his ailing back this year deserves part of the credit.
According to The Local, Bolt took time out from his various lightning poses to heap praise on the good doctor Hans-Wilhelm Müller-Wohlfahrt whom Bolt has nicknamed "Mull". (With so many tantalizing syllables to work with, we can think of several better nicknames for the man, but no matter.)
"He's the best doctor in the world," Bolt added. "The doctor is a great, great man. Thanks, doctor!"
Müller-Wohlfahrt has made waves by using controversial techniques to treat a variety of celebrities, including Bono and Ronaldo. Among the tools in his arsenal: a substance called Hyalart, extracted from the crest of cockerels, that he uses to lubricate joints.
One athlete he didn't treat is Kobe Bryant, who went to a different German doc for his knee treatment. That therapy, called Regenokine, was performed by Dr. Peter Wehling, who centrifuged Kobe's blood and then reinjected it into him in what appears to be a successful attempt to stave off the arthritic pain that was plaguing the five-time NBA champ.
Germany may not have the athletes to seriously compete for sprinting or basketball medals, but at least its countrymen can take pride in the fact that their scientists are helping to extend the careers of those athletes who can.
3. Dismayed Israel Isn't Having Much Fun | Israel
Israel's sense of national shame over their failure at this Olympiad is splashed all over their sports pages. Yesterday brought an editorial titled, "Don't forget to tell them off, Lee," which argued that, though Lee Korzits seemed likely to medal in women's windsurfing, she ought not to forget to use her moment in the sun to speak her mind to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and President Shimon Peres.
Hareetz's Eyal Gil argues, "A medal today would whitewash years of neglect and hostility toward sports, failed management and disgraceful budgets. For 20 years, select branches of sport have overcome these incredible obstacles and pitfalls and against all odds won honor for Israel where it was undeserved … Israel's Olympic athletes train in intolerable conditions. They survive on minimal stipends. They either have to subsidize costs out of pocket or find a generous patron. Along the way, the State of Israel-its government, Sports Ministry and sports associations-spends its time undermining and humiliating them."
Haaretz may have been gratified to see that Korzits finished sixth in her event. (The Jerusalem Post went with the sub-head, "Nightmarish 9th in decisive medal race leaves last Israeli hope with 6th-place finish.")
Today, there's another editorial: "Faster, higher, stronger? Not for Israel." Uzi Dann writes, "The Israeli failure is comprehensive … If success in sports really matters to Israel, we need a revolution. Not only in budgets, but first and foremost in education. Israel can't boast about its sports education. The old Hapoel slogan-a pun in Hebrew-was "from thousands to champions." This expressed the belief that if a sport was practiced by the masses, champions would emerge. Nowadays, we invest in those precious few who have already made it to the top. Maybe Israel should invest in thousands of children instead of a few dozen prodigies." Both pieces profess a desire for a revolution in sports training.
4. Olympians Flee Village for Chance at Better Lives | Cameroon
Seven Olympic athletes from the African nation of Cameroon have vanished from the Olympic village. Their disappearance was confirmed yesterday by the country's Ministry of Sports and Physical Education.
According to Vanguard, mission head David Ojon sent the following message to the ministry: "What began as rumour has finally turned out to be true. Seven Cameroonian athletes who participated at the 2012 London Olympic Games have disappeared from the Olympic Village."
The athletes who have gone missing are five members of the Olympic boxing team, a swimmer, and the goalie for the women's soccer team. Drusille Ngako, the soccer player, was the first to vanish, leaving her team just before a pre-Olympic match against New Zealand. The swimmer, Paul Ekane Edingue, left his team a few days later. The five boxers disappeared more recently, leaving the Olympic village after having all been eliminated from competition.
According to Vanguard, the most likely explanation for these athletes' disappearance is economic reasons. They are hoping to stay in Europe and find a better life for themselves rather than returning to Cameroon. This is not the first time that Cameroonian athletes have defected in such a way. Competitors have disappeared without warning before at past Francophine and Commonwealth games, as well as junior soccer tournaments.
5. Kayakers Paddle For Pops | Canada
On top of competing for their country, Canadian siblings Hughes and Emilie Fournel are kayaking in honor of their late father Jean, a kayaker at the 1976 Games, who died of leukemia at age 40.
"We paddle on emotions," Emilie told the Globe and Mail. "That's the kind of paddlers we are. We paddle from the heart. That's why I like racing the 500 metres because it's a gutsy race and it's power, power, power and at the end it's all guts. I just think it's part of us. It's the way we grew up. For us it's a way of living, I guess."
Emilie and Hughes didn't record very good times in Monday and Tuesday's preliminaries, so a medal might be a longshot, but the experience of competing together is enough of a reward.
"I was telling my brother, it's like we're creating a memory with him without him being here, which is pretty special," Emilie said. "Not many people get to experience something like that. That's why we appreciate this moment. We know he's up there somewhere, looking down."
Kate Bennert, Isaac Rauch, Dan Gartland, David Goldenberg and Tom Ley contributed to this article.

No Longer Slaves – by the Voices of Lee
Great individual voices and a capella's tight harmonies of the Voices of Lee provide the vehicle for the liberating message of Romans 6:14-17:
Romans 6:14 For sin shall not be master over you, for you are not under law, but under grace. 15 What then? Shall we sin because we are not under law but under grace? May it never be! 16 Do you not know that when you present yourselves to someone as slaves for obedience, you are slaves of the one whom you obey, either of sin resulting in death, or of obedience resulting in righteousness? 17 But thanks be to God that though you were slaves of sin, you became obedient from the heart to that form of teaching to which you were committed, 18 and having been freed from sin, you became slaves of righteousness.
Hope you enjoy the music and definitely connect with the message of the freedom we have through Christ!

[Movie Review] InAlienable
Posted May 11, 2008on:
First off, let me just say that I'm a massive fan of Walter Koenig; his acting and writing. So I was very excited to hear about the film InAlienable, a story written by Koenig and starring him, too.
InAlienable is a bizarre sounding idea, kind of sounding like a weird Mpreg fanfiction. It's about a man name Eric Norris (Richard Hatch) who, after losing his family in an accident, is overcome with guilt and pain, not helped by his sarcastic, twisted boss Dr Shilling (Walter Koenig) who insists upon fuelling the loss and grieving with every cutting insult and manipulative word.
However, along comes a meteor, the favoured plot device of sci-fi writers looking to create a story based on Earth involving creatures not-of-this-world. The meteor brought with it what is described as a tentacled, gooey thing which somehow becomes a black rock (possibly an egg form), which is given to Norris. After a fling with his colleague Dr Mayfield, he finds himself invaded by an alien parasite which hooks itself up to the entire organ system in order to survive.
After a time, Dr Norris "gives birth" to a weird-looking baby; a sort of humanoid with strong tentacles (think Doc Ock in Spider-Man 2) and without a nose (think Lord Voldemort). At first he's a little fearful of it, but slowly, he grows attached to it, and gives it a name. It's called Benjamin. Dr Norris believes it's his son.
However, the FBI are called in by Shilling (who else?), who accompanies them every step of the way and tries to make sure the alien dies. In a very cruel way throughtout the film, he continually attempts to cause psychological damage to Norris, in an attempt at revenge. Revenge for what? you might ask. Well, I don't really want to spoil the movie but I'm sure you get the picture.
InAlienable is actually not as bad as it sounds. It's very easy to follow, the acting is impeccable and there are plenty of laughs to complement the gripping scenes. Koenig's talent as both a writer and an actor really shines through and Richard Hatch is impressive as Norris.
Eric Norris is a brilliant character; the perfect broken man who just wants a family, his family. His state causes him to love the alien baby, his "child", and tries to protect it, and the way in which this is portrayed had me on the edge of my computer chair. However, the end of the movie, while a logical conclusion, could have used more transition, and more of Norris' healing process.
Shilling is likewise a wonderful character, though one whose neck was just begging to be snapped. Malice drips off of him; that neurotic, borderline psychotic way in which he took the utmost pleasure in his employee's pain caused my jaw to drop open, and I silently wished the alien baby would turn around and cause his end. Once again, we could have used a little more insight into the psychology of Shilling.
If you do decide to watch InAlienable, don't expect too much from the CGI. It's good to a degree, but Renegade Studios have really just started out, and so some of the special effects appear very "Doctor Who." However, they work well and the alien props are beautifully done.
All in all, I thought InAlienable was a well-thought out and interesting film which I thoroughly enjoyed. I give it 9/10, with the point removed due to its shortness and lack of storytelling near the end. For the most part though, the storytelling is quite good, nd if you like intelligent sci-fi, this may be the movie for you.
InAlienable is available to watch through www.renegade-studios.com for $2.99 per 72-hour viewing period.

The Texas Rangers will add a player with a championship pedigree to their spring training roster Monday with Super Bowl-champion quarterback Russell Wilson set to join the club in Surprise, Ariz.
However, do not expect to see the former minor league second baseman grab a bat and step to the plate in the preseason game against the Cleveland Indians at Surprise Stadium.
"The guy's a Super Bowl champ," Rangers manager Ron Washington said Thursday, according to ESPN.com, when asked whether the Seattle Seahawks quarterbac might get an at-bat.
"You think they want him to come down here and get hurt? The guy hasn't seen a pitch. I'm not running him up there."
Wilson, whose Seahawks won the Super Bowl earlier this month, is expected to participate in the Rangers' workout on Monday before suiting up for the game at Surprise Stadium.
The NFL title-winning quarterback was selected in the Rule 5 draft by the Rangers in December, but has not played baseball since 2011, when he was in Class A for the Colorado Rockies.
Wilson hit .228 with three homers, 15 RBIs, 40 runs scored and 15 stolen bases in 61 games that final season. He then went to Wisconsin for his final collegiate season before being taken by the Seahawks in the NFL draft.
Washington said the Rangers believe Wilson can impact his American League West team.
"Our intentions are to bring him in and see if there's anything he can say that may help anyone around here that has on a baseball uniform," Washington said.
"This guy is a winner. He has tremendous character. He has attitude and undoubtedly has a lot of commitment to what he does."
The Rangers are striving to return to the World Series after back-to-back trips in 2010-2011 with some new faces on the club.
"The guy has had a lot of success and he has a championship attitude," Washington said. "We're going to give him a chance to talk to our young kids and see what happens."

Hey Guys,
I feel like I've been looking for the perfect shaggy black coat for forever, and now I've found it! Of course I stumbled across it when I wasn't supposed to be shopping in the first place, but I'm glad I did and just in time for winter in Melbourne.
Although I'm enjoying dressing for the cold (AT THE MOMENT)… its always hard when I visit my favourite UK shops online and check out what's new and I'm bombarded with pretty summery pieces that I just cant justify buying 6 months in advance. I'm really jealous of you all back in UK getting some sunny sunny days and heading into festival season!
Maybe I need to arrange a quick stint back to get my fix of the British summer?

The Bluetooth Special Interest Group (SIG) revealed this Thursday a host of new innovations to be featured its next iteration of the popular Bluetooth wireless protocol.
Version 4.0 of the Bluetooth Core Specification comes shortly after the faster 3.0 spec, which was announced back in April of this year. However, unlike 3.0's speed-centric hallmark, the updated 4.0 spec is aimed mainly at consuming less power.
The updated low-energy specification will open new markets for devices that require both "low cost and low power wireless connectivity" according to the Bluetooth SIG, and that "healthcare, sports and fitness, security and home entertainment" businesses will benefit considerably due to the wider availability of products making use of the now cheaper, more attractive, Bluetooth technology.
Version 4.0's has lower peak, average, and idle power modes, and can run on a standard coin-cell battery for several years. If the reduced power consumption wasn't enough, the revised spec also provides full AES-128 encryption and supports sending small data packets at a transfer speed of up-to 1Mbps.
There will be two variants of the updated standard: a single-mode and dual-mode implementation. Dual-mode will integrate the new low energy functionality into existing Bluetooth controllers, whereas the single-mode variation, which the SIG says is best-suited for more compact devices, will use a "lightweight Link Layer" to achieve this ultra-low-power idle mode.
The first set of products to make use of the updated Bluetooth standard should arrive in early 2010. Michael Foley, SIG's executive director, is already encouraging manufactures to make use of the new standard, and said that, "with today's announcement the race is on for product designers to be the first to market."

Awesome All Blacks raise the bar again
Graham Jenkins
July 31, 2010
Australia's Drew Mitchell reflects on his red card following his dismissal at the Etihad Stadium © Getty Images
Shall we cancel next year's Rugby World Cup? A drastic thought, I know, but if the All Blacks continue to sweep all-comers aside with a breath-taking mix of power and pace then there is little point in the rest of the world rocking up in New Zealand in just over a year's time for what would be a futile attempt to prevent the hosts from laying claim to the sport's biggest prize.
The All Blacks' latest clinical demolition of a seemingly quality opponent - on this occasion a hugely-talented and confident Australia - threatens to turn the international calendar and the tournament in New Zealand into a procession. Such is the emphatic nature of their current awe-inspiring form. And the bad news for the rest of the world is that having already set the bar alarmingly high there is evidently more to come from New Zealand.
But the All Blacks' dominance of every aspect of the game was just part of the story. As has been the case in every Tri-Nations outing so far this year, the referee played a pivotal role in proceedings with South African whistleblower Craig Joubert taking centre stage at the Etihad Stadium. His Irish colleagues attracted scorn in recent weeks for their handling of the southern hemisphere giants and Joubert will no doubt field some criticism too for a game that saw three more yellow cards - taking the tournament tally to eight - with two of them equalling a red for Wallabies winger Drew Mitchell.
Confusion still surrounds Mitchell's first-half yellow for a dangerous 'no-arms' tackle that left the winger and his coach Robbie Deans baffled, but there can be no complaint about the second shortly after the interval, which gave the Wallabies a mountain to climb that they were never going to overcome. The warning issued by Joubert to Wallabies skipper Rocky Elsom and his All Blacks counterpart Richie McCaw was crystal clear and from that point there were no excuses for the spoiling that had peppered the game up until that point.
So often captains are told to 'have a word' with their teams to ensure they are all on message in such situations and the fault must lie with Elsom for not hammering home the warning. But that is not to excuse Mitchell, who must shoulder some of the blame for his own indiscipline, especially having had time to contemplate during his stint in the sin-bin. But the shortcomings of both players can be explained to a certain extent by the vice-like grip the All Blacks took on this game.
Mitchell's rollercoaster of a game began with the opening try but that only served to sting the All Blacks into action with fly-half Dan Carter and fullback Mils Muliaina silencing the home crowd. And not even the sin-binning of their own prop Owen Franks could knock them out of their stride with McCaw crossing just a minute later. Mitchell's first yellow and a try for Cory Jane compounded the Wallabies' woes.
The decision itself was a brave call from Joubert, who should be applauded for his general handling of the game. Southern hemisphere observers may put his success down to his Super Rugby experience and his familiarity with the players but it is never that simple. There were some questionable decisions but the clarity at the breakdown and consistency helped the game as a spectacle.
With the red card the contest was all but over and nothing more than a damage limitation exercise for the Wallabies. But they came through a stern test of their character with a battling display that was helped by New Zealand's failure to maintain their venomous best, which gives coach Graham Henry some ammunition ahead of their next meeting in Christchurch next weekend.
Tries from Adam Ashley-Cooper and Elsom gave the home crowd something to cheer but those scores failed to hide the cracks in their overall performance. The hope generated in 80 pulsating minutes against the Springboks evaporated before their eyes in Melbourne. They missed suspended playmaker Quade Cooper but not even his super powers could have turned this game around.
Desperate for a victory to catch the public's imagination at a time where the sport's profile is on the wane, their bid to return the Bledisloe to a true contest came up well short. Instead, they must go back to the drawing board driven by concern as to how so many big name players failed to deliver when it was needed most.
In contrast, the All Blacks look imperious. Carter was again the tormentor-in-chief, brushing off an early blip to spark his side's resurgence and in doing so close in on the top of the all-time Test points scorers list. His precision with the boot also laid the foundation for the All Blacks' complete dominance of the re-start. The canny McCaw also came out on top in his much-heralded showdown with Wallabies flanker David Pocock, and winger Joe Rokocoko celebrated becoming the All Blacks most-capped wing by pulling level with Christian Cullen in the try-scoring ranks, just three behind leader Doug Howlett.
The relentless All Blacks - who now have three bonus-point victories to their name - will not rest on their laurels and that fact bodes ill for the Wallabies, who must re-group - and fast. Eight Test defeats on the bounce to their fierce rivals tells its own sorry story - it's the Wallabies' worst Bledisloe Cup losing sequence since New Zealand locked down the trophy with nine wins between 1936-47 - and coach Robbie Deans' return home next weekend will provide little comfort.

"Nelson was at the peak of his formidable prowess as a writer, arranger and soloist during the five-years ('62-'67) that this set covers. This made it easy for him to attract the best studio and featured players into a situation where they would be challenged technically and artistically while bringing to life wonderfully visceral music that balances intricacy and delicacy with swing and swagger." - James Lamperetta, The Saratogian

Jazzhattan Suite
Jazzhattan Suite is the only recording in this collection in which Nelson was given the chance to showcase the full range of his compositional abilities in a jazz context. The Jazz Interactions Orchestra was in actuality a slightly augmented assemblage of the usual suspects working under yet another assumed name. Jazz Interactions was an organization dedicated to spreading the message of jazz to the public, and increasing the amount of performance opportunities for musicians. At the time of this recording, Jazz Interactions was quite prominent in New York and presented a long-running series of well attended Sunday afternoon performances, first at The Top of the Gate, an airy room located upstairs from the Village Gate, and later at The Red Garter, a cavernous Dixieland club with garish dark red décor (Pepper Adams once said it looked like Sophie Tuckers tomb), and a bandstand on a huge flatbed fire truck. Two of the organizations co-founders, Alan Pepper and Stan Snadowsky, later bought the building housing The Red Garter and resurrected it as the renowned, recently defunct Bottom Line.
Through the efforts of Jazz Interactions, Jazzmobile Inc., The Metropolitan Museum of Art, and several other organizations, October 7th 1967 was designated by mayoral proclamation as Jazz Day in New York City. Jazzhattan Suite was commissioned for this event. The suite was performed twice that day: in the afternoon in Central Park, and in the evening at the Met. All this occurred at a time when the New York jazz community was making some good advances in gaining wider acceptance for the music, yet somehow seemed unable to pass up any opportunity to shoot itself in the foot. I recall attending the Central Park concert, at which a group of angry musicians were carrying picket signs protesting Nelsons use of studio musicians, the term studio being code for the half of the band whose epidermis contained noticeably less melanin than that of the other half. One mans personal and artistic integrity is another mans political incorrectness. So what else is new?
The suite opens with A Typical Day In New York, which is constructed in an arch-like form, which builds gradually, peaks in the middle, and telescopes back in on itself. After a stately introduction in 4/4, the main theme, stated by clarinets, is in 9/8 meter, subdivided 2+2+2+3. The middle section, in 3/4, features an absolutely diabolical passage in 16th notes based mainly on ascending fourths, which is first stated in octaves by Patti Bown on piano, later joined by the clarinets. Patti Bowns name is seldom mentioned among those of pioneering female jazz musicians, yet she was one of the first women to break into the freelance studio recording scene as an instrumentalist. An earthy, vivacious woman with a great sense of humor, she played with a powerful sense of swing, was always full of musical surprises and, as her work on this track shows, must have grown up practicing Hanon exercises till her fingers bled. The East Side , The West Side is a blues in 9/4. Nelson makes use of several odd meters throughout this suite and, as on this track his use of them usually feels organic, free flowing and musically appropriate, in contrast to the self- conscious, gimmicky manner in which many jazz composers used them at the time. As in the works of his idol, Duke Ellington, Nelsons extended works are notable for their treatment of the blues in a great variety of rhythmic grooves and tone colors. One For Duke is the blues once again in an obvious tribute to Ellington. It is replete with Dukish touches including the angular melody line, plunger-muted brass, and some densely voiced writing for the clarinet-led reed section with plenty of contrary motion in the individual lines. Patti Bown contributes an energetic solo, followed by Zoot Sims in his distinctive style, in which he seems to be laughing and crying at the same time. The solos are topped off by something you dont hear every day: some spirited four-bar exchanges between two great bassists, George Duvivier and Ron Carter. The suite ends with Complex City which begins quietly with French horns and vibraphone prominent. This section is followed by a clarinet and xylophone-dominated section that sounds like Gershwins An American In Paris On LSD. When things settle into a 6/4 groove we are back in blues territory with the theme stated by Woodss alto. This is followed by an exposition of several short melodic cells in a series of shifting meters in which Nelson makes imaginative use of the clarinet choir. The blues theme is then stated in a hard swinging 4/4, leading to solos by Bown, Sims, and Newman, with vigorous hand-in-glove backing from Ed Shaughnessys drums and Bob Rosengardens bongos. The piece ends with a return to the original 6/4 blues section and builds to a powerful finale
CUSTOMER REVIEWSClick here to write a review
|The Great One.
|I have own this set for along time now. I find myself going back to this one all the time and his skill as a arranger/composer is outstanding. But I hope people will not forget that on alto and tenor saxophone he was top shelf bigtime.
|The musicians
|The musicians throughout this set are fantastic! Phil Woods is especially impressive. The rhythm sections are superb. I would have loved to have seen any of these bands live!
|I got this one two months ago and am stuggling a bit. The band's playing and the arrangements are superb but the material and the musical choices are not always first rate. Overall, the set feels somewhat uneven to me, but when it's good it's very, very good - actually breath taking, like good Ellington.
|So much variety in these 6 disks! Oliver Nelson is such a great composer and arranger --of any style. It is truly a pity that he died at such a young age. The music contained in these disks is beautiful, sad, swingin' and heartfelt. Such good players in his band. I am blown away by the Kennedy Dream, and the Pee Wee Russell set is very unique, I don't think I have heard a clarinet played like he does. One of a kind and personal is how I would describe his playing. All in all, a diverse set of music that is wonderfully presented sonically. What to get next?
|Oliver Nelsons - The Kennedy Dream
|This is one of the finest pieces of music I've heard and was a wonderful memorial to President John F. Kennedy. The times were very different from now,"Hope Springs Eternal" was more than just a phrase. I just wonder why it was withheld from the public for so long, I never saw it in casette form or on CD until I purchased it from you this year. My regret was having to purchase the entire package of Oliver Nelsons music for $102.00 when I only wanted The Kennedy Dream.
|From start to finish....
|this is an EXCELLENT set...Extremely tight arrangements, ALONG with Jimmy Smith on the organ! I see using this as nice background music for a party...
|This set is nicely varied--Jimmy Smith, Milt Jackson, Phil Woods, Pee Wee Russell and so forth...each featured at various points in this set playing the outstanding arrangments of Oliver Nelson. This is a great sounding set, one of my favorites from Mosaic. Highly Recommended
|Less than Full Nelson
|Over the years, jazz lovers have come to appreciate most of the material now compiled in this marvelous array of big band music. While its plain to see that some of the Verve and Impulse sessions fall outside the big band context that is the focus of this set, I dont quite understand why the entire 1965 Monster session (V6-8618) was omitted. It contains one of my favorite Nelson/Smith tracks, The Creeper, and might indeed be rated as essential in this context.
|Embarassment of Riches
|So much Oliver! What a treat, and this set makes me appreciate Nelson even more than I did--which is saying a lot. Just a few highlights: a treasure trove of vintage 60's Phil Woods, with his unmistakeable sound leading the reeds; discovering just how wonderful an anchor Danny Bank is; the masterful playing throughout, especially on Peter and the Wolf...The cut "Paris Blues" alone is worth the price of the set. Listen to Woods just SING the lead theme! To me, the weakest stuff is the Jimmy Smith material--only because he tends to overplay at times--but Nelson's orchestrations are great under him. And the liner notes are by far the funniest of any Mosaic set I have, and I've got a bunch. Thank you guys...
|Send more Maynard.......
|Well, I'm mostly kidding with the title. I just like tweaking the Mosaic guys for their extremely arbitrary marketing decisions. The Europeans are effectively patching the holes in MF's CD reissue canvas. They know our Jazz masterpieces better than we do anyway. The Nelson set IS incredible. (I borrowed a set from a friend before placing the order) It's a welcome adjunct to Kenton's (Rugolo and Rogers)orchestratively pioneering efforts. Five stars.......
|this set couldnt get any better.the arrangements are solid, and moving. big band so tight its hard to hear any flaws.
|" I became aware" by Frank Dziedziak"
|There were so many jazz lps released in this period of time. So many were great recordings with talented players who were pushing the envelope of the jazz avant--guard. Eric Dolphy was leading the charge, Booker Little was addind his beautiful but sad arrangements and his beautiful tone.Even the position of drummer held a new meanning with the appearance of Tony williams. All of this "new ground" was expanding even to the sound track world where at this time Oliver Nelson was applying his genius. He also was releasing masterpieces like "blues in the Abstract truth. His sound track work was a way to get the public to hear this new sound and Oliver made sure that he made few or no comprimises. His contributation to the would of creativity was a huge one and now in the year 2006, it still holds up as a foward seeking sound often immated and even copied. This record is a great example of his work and I am so happy that now I can get a fresh copy to treasure for life. I have been a jazz fan for 35 years, a fan that alway's looked for records that said something new.Here is a great example of Mr. Nelson at his best. Do you want to expand you're horizons, buy this record.

Commemorations for Abib 4
On this day, the church commemorates the relocation of the relics of the honorable Sts. Apakir and John. After they received the crown of martyrdom as it is mentioned in the account of the sixth day of the month of Amshir, some of the believers took their bodies. They laid them in the church of St. Mark the Evangelist, which is to the south of Alexandria. They remained there until the days of St. Cyril (Kyrillos), the Pillar of Faith, the angel of the Lord appeared to him and commanded him to relocate the relics of these two saints to the other church of St. Mark by the seaside. He relocated them with great honor, then built a church for them in this district.
They arranged for them a feast on this day. Beside the church there was a pagan temple wherein many heathens gathered. When they saw the wonders that were manifested in the church of these two saints many of them believed in the Lord Christ.
May their prayers be with us, and Glory be to God forever. Amen.
