In 1996, when Denise Grabowski first arrived in Savannah, moving into a Whitaker Street Victorian house apartment across from Forsyth Park, she was so captivated by the urban living experience that she changed her career.
Up until then, Grabowski was using her environmental science degree from Furman University to conduct water quality outreach work. However, the simple pleasures of meeting new people and taking up new activities, such as ultimate frisbee in the park, had a profound impact.
"Had I lived in a different physical environment, I probably would have never met a lot of those people," said Grabowski, who earned a master's degree in city planning from Georgia Tech in 2000.
"It was a completely different lifestyle that I had never experienced before. It just got me really thinking about the way in which cities are designed and the impact that that has on everything that we do."
Grabowski, 40, is now president of a one-person urban planning firm, Symbioscity, which has worked with local governments and consulted with public and private companies since 2011.
Most recently, Grabowski has worked on three Chatham County corridor studies of U.S. 80, SR-204 and SR-121 and developed a curriculum training program for elected officials on the impact of school locations.
Meeting new people, working with developers and government officials and formulating policy recommendations to create new communities, revive diminished areas and tackle growth issues, leaves few slow work days for Grabowski.
In fact, the field's broad scope is what really excites her.
"One of the things I love about my job is I get to do a lot of different types of things," Grabowski said. "My work really ranges from phone calls and meetings to design work on the computer to having dialogues with individuals, groups or holding public meetings."
The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics projects the number of urban and regional planners (40,300 in 2010) to increase 16 percent by 2020, as planners will be called upon to develop projects deferred by the recession and meet increased population demands.
"The way in which our cities are designed and the way in which we develop our communities, both from a physical, as well as from a policy standpoint, it has everything to do with our resources," Grabowski said, "whether they're natural, human or fiscal resources - all of those elements are addressed by urban planning."
Grabowski is also a founding member of the U.S. Green Building Council's Georgia chapter, sits on the Savannah Tech Community Council, Friends of Massey Board of Directors, and co-founded Designing4Health, a nonprofit that works to bring together design and public health.
In November, she began a seven-month stint in GeorgiaForward's Young Gamechangers statewide program in which 30 successful professionals, ages 20 to 40, tackle a community challenge. The latest class is working to transition Americus and Sumter County into a "21st century rural community."
Amir Farokhi, director of GeorgiaForward, said Grabowski was selected for the annual program because she reflected the best qualities of young leaders in Georgia.
"She is successful in her home community, she brings her professional experience and innovative spirit to solving statewide problems and she is intently focused on the future, especially a future in which Georgia is a leader in livability, sustainability and quality of life," Farokhi said.
"Plus, she is a team player, always seeking common ground and shared interests."
A Gwinnett County native, Grabowski has been married 12 years to Michael "Ski" Grabowski, a physician assistant who also serves in the Coast Guard Reserves. They have a 6-year-old daughter, Julia, and a 2-year-old son, Michael.
The city of Savannah is famous for its early attempt at city planning, centered around individual wards and squares in its basic design. Generations of planners have been lauding it ever since Gen. James Oglethorpe laid the first downtown squares in 1733.
Asked her professional opinion of urban planning in Savannah, Grabowski said her primary concern is that the strengths of Oglethorpe's plan - utilization of the grid system, walkability and scale - were abandoned south of DeRenne Avenue, giving way to the 1950s development era.
Her desire is for city officials to move toward true social equity, environmental stewardship, fiscal responsibility and public health in their short- and long-term decision-making, which she feels would create better communities.
"I think we have a great history here," Grabowski said.
"We've made some mistakes just like every community has. I think we've learned from our mistakes but I think that we still have a ways to go. I think we have tremendous opportunity here and there are some great people involved and interested in planning issues."

Cookie Turkeys
Total TimePrep: 20 min. + standing
Makes20 servings
The 6 year old did these had a lot of fun used truffles instead of cherries. Will save this one for years to come.
I was unable to find candy corn, so I cut small triangles out of circus peanuts to use as beaks. Everything turned out great!
I made these when I was a child and now my children make them
This was easy and fun to make with my grandson. We used Lindor Truffles by Lindt instead of cherries. Delicious!!!!
No comment left
My Mother made similar "turkeys" for years, but she used the chocolate mounds and round crackers (like HiHO). She would cut a sliver off on end of the cracker used for the fan tail - in this manner it was easier to set in the frosting. The candy mound was laid on it side and the candy corn attached like the one in the picture. The salty taste was good with the sweet candies.
I make these every year but I use a miniature reeses peanut butter cup for the body .Everyone likes them.
TOH.... THANKS for making so many wives and moms look like top sweet dessert chefs with these turkey cookie creations ! These are so clever and easy and Tom Turkey always gets "flying colors" at whatever event (especially church)that I take them to. Take this simple idea and get creative with any candy & treat favorites, I added 4 candy corns to the back cookie for tail feathers... FUN & YUM for all !
I made these last year from Thanksgiving and everyone loved them. I used royal icing and the cookies stayed better. Will be making these again this year.
I made 48 of these little adorable turkeys for my grandchildren to take to school. The kids LOVED them! I didn't use the chocolate covered cherries but instead used chocolate donut holes that I purchased. They were quick and easy! I used chocolate frosting in a pastry tube to attach the two cookies together.Then to attach the donut hole, I used the chocolate frosting on the bottom and "back" of the donut hole. Again, a little frosting on the candy corn and just stuck it on. I froze the donut holes becaused I had purchased them a few days before the assembly. I wouldn't do that again. The glaze on the donuts got wet and the frosting had trouble sticking. After I let the holes sit out a while, everything worked out great. Thanks TOH for the smiles and giggles you gave to these kids!

Landmine kills at least 15 people in western India
At least 15 people were killed in a land-mine blast in India, ONAreports citing Reuters.
Suspected leftist insurgents killed at least 15 police and a civilian driver in a landmine attack on two security vehicles on Wednesday in the western state of Maharashtra, police said, as the state celebrated its foundation day.
The Maoist insurgents, known as Naxals, have battled the state for decades, saying they are fighting for people left out of a long economic boom in Asia's third-largest economy.
Security forces killed at least 37 Maoist militants last year in Gadchiroli, the same district where Wednesday's attack took place.

- Modelling ultra-relativistic heavy ion collisions with the quark Molecular Dynamics qMD (2005)
- This thesis presents a model for the dynamical description of deconfined quark matter created in ultra-relativistic heavy ion collisions, treating quarks and antiquarks as classical point particles subject to a colour-dependent, Cornell-type potential interaction. The model provides a dynamical handle for hadronization via the recombination of quarks and antiquarks in colour neutral clusters. Gluons are not included explicitly in the model,but are described in an effective manner by the means of the potential interaction. The model includes four different quark flavours (up, down, strange and charm) and uses current masses for the quarks. The dynamical evolution of a system of colour charges subject to the Hamiltonian equations of motion of the model yields the formation of colour neutral clusters of quarks and antiquarks, which are subject only to a small remaining interaction, the strong interquark potential notwithstanding. These clusters can be mapped onto hadrons and hadronic resonances. Thus, the model allows a dynamical description of quarks degrees of freedom in heavy ion collisions, including a recombination scheme for hadronization. The thermal properties of the model turn pout to be very satisfying. The model shows a transition from a confining phase to a deconfined phase with rising temperature, going hand in hand with a softest point in the equation of state and a rise of energy density and pressure to the Stefan-Boltzmann limit of a gas of quarks and antiquarks. Moreover, the potential interaction is screened in the deconfined phase. For the dynamical description of ultra-relativistic heavy ion collision, the qMD model is coupled to UrQMD as a generator for its initial conditions. In this way, a fully dynamical description of the expansion and hadronization of the fireball created in such collisions can be achieved. Non-equilibrium aspects of the expansion dynamics and hadronization by recombination of quarks and antiquarks are discussed in detail, and a comparison with experimental data of collisions at the CERN-SPS is presented. The big advantage of the qMD model is the possibility to study cluster formation, including exotic clusters, and fluctuations in a dynamical manner. As an example, event-by-event fluctuations in electric charge are studied. Such fluctuations have been proposed as a clear criterion to distinguish a deconfined system from a hadrons gas. However, experimental data show hadron gas fluctuation measures even at RHIC, where deconfinement is taken for granted. We will see how the dynamics of quark recombination washes out the quark-gluon plasma signal in the fluctuation criterion. Moreover, we will discuss briefly the problem of entropy at recombination. In a second application, the formation of exotic hadronic clusters, larger than usual mesons and baryons, is studied. Such clusters could provide new measures for the thermalization and homogenization of a deconfined gas of colour charges. Moreover, number estimates for exotic clusters from recombination are considerably lower than corresponding predictions from thermal models, providing a clear difference between statistical hadronization and hadronization via quark recombination. A detailed analysis is provided for pentaquark candidates such as the Theta-Plus. It turns out that the distribution of exotic states over strangeness, isospin, and spin could provide a sensitive measure for thermalization and decorrelation in the deconfined quark phase, if it could be measured.

MORRISTOWN, N.J. – The complexity of Vikings owner Zygi Wilf's business world has been a major focus in the lengthy civil trial that has made headlines in both New Jersey and Minnesota.
The judge in the New Jersey case, in summarizing the trial, has talked of the Wilfs having an ownership stake in 460 separate business entities. An accountant for the Wilfs, according to one lawyer in the case, has told the court of preparing roughly 700 separate tax returns. The family's businesses, according to the family, are spread over 37 states, including New Jersey, California, Florida and New York's Manhattan skyline.
There were even pictures of Zygi Wilf, as the trial dragged on, posing at last year's New York premiere of the movie "Smashed," which lists him as an executive producer.
In Minnesota, the stadium authority overseeing the Vikings' new $975 million stadium has concluded — even before the New Jersey trial finishes — that the family has more than enough money to help contribute to the project's cost. The stadium authority's chairwoman, Michele Kelm- Helgen, said last week that an investigation also showed that "everything" on a background check of the Wilfs "has come back very clean."
For all of their real estate holdings in New Jersey and on the East Coast, the legal trail left behind by the Wilfs is relatively skimpy, but complicated.
There are a handful of other lawsuits, in New Jersey and elsewhere, that involve everything from federal allegations that the Wilfs' companies discriminated against blacks in renting apartments to charges by a landscaping contractor that Wilfs' companies were "nickel and diming" him.
In the New Jersey case in Morristown, a state Superior Court judge has found Wilf and his family guilty of an intricate plan to defraud their business partners regarding a 764-unit apartment complex. As she prepares to announce civil penalties the Wilfs will have to pay, Judge Deanne Wilson has on repeated occasions complained of how difficult it has been to unravel the Wilfs' many interrelated companies because of a lack of records and the Wilfs' own confusing testimony. She has also outlined how the bookkeeping for many of the companies has been done, in keeping with the Wilfs' low profile, at a nondescript office building next to a Walgreens in Short Hills, N.J.
The family, through Vikings spokesman Lester Bagley, declined to comment for this article. The Wilfs' lawyers in New Jersey have meanwhile cast the Morristown case as an anomaly, saying that "as with many businesses, disputes occasionally arise."
Confusing connections
Wilson moved slowly during one phase of the New Jersey case to explain how Rachel Gardens, the apartment complex at the center of the dispute, was financially intertwined with the Wilfs' Manhattan high rise — known as Rock 54, and located miles away. In picking through the Wilfs' many different companies, she said Rock 54 received money from the Wall Street Journal for the media conglomerate's transmitting towers located atop the building. As part of the family's presence in New York, the Wilfs have talked proudly of helping create the first private school in the area near Wall Street.
The intertwined holdings have been the focus of other lawsuits.
In 2008, three workers were stripping wood floors in an apartment building in New Jersey when the chemical they were using ignited, causing an explosion that killed one of them and severely injured the other two men.
Five years later, attorney Gary Cavalli is still not sure who employed the men — he has sued more than 30 companies, most believed to be in one way or another linked to the Wilfs. Cavalli said in court documents that after a 15-month effort to obtain company documents he was told the records had been lost in a flood.
"Everything is incorporated under a separate entity," said Cavalli.
One five-page document in the case illustrated the complexities involved. An attorney for Garden Homes Management Corp., one of the defendants, acknowledged that the company did have "purchasing accounts" related to Lambert's Mill Village, where the explosion occurred. But the attorney said Garden Homes Management had no employees.
The attorney said Zygi Wilf and his younger brother, Mark, the president of the Vikings, together owned 40 percent of Garden Homes Management and Leonard Wilf, a cousin and also the Vikings' vice chairman, owned another 50 percent.
In another New Jersey case, Zygi Wilf has been sued this year for giving a contract to provide coin-operated laundry machines in two Wilf properties to his brother-in-law. The lawsuit claims the Wilfs violated a contract the family had with another company that had a first right of refusal to renew the business relationship.
The Wilfs' said the company had already gotten a settlement, and instead insisted that the Wilfs were owed money because the company that lost the contract took too long to vacate the premises.
Federal suit
Garden Homes Management Corp. also was accused by the federal government in 1999 of not renting to African Americans and, after agreeing to a consent order in September 2001, was found in contempt for not pursuing remedies. At one point, a federal judge pushed for a $1,000-a-day fine against the Wilfs.
As part of the investigation, federal officials said, a white renter was told there were vacancies at Lakeview Garden Apartments in New Jersey one day after a black applicant at the same complex was told there were no vacancies and that there already was a waiting list of 18 to 20 people. The complex, federal officials added, also discouraged families with children from renting or limited them to first-floor apartments.
The case was later settled, but not before the Wilfs and federal officials squabbled over when the company should have begun pursuing remedies.
The Wilfs also have faced state penalties and tax liens. In 2003, according to State of New Jersey documents, the family was penalized $680,216 by the state's bureau of housing inspection. The money was repaid five years later.
In the early 1990s, records also showed that Zygi and Leonard Wilf and a third person owed the state $47,174 in wage report penalties under the state's unemployment compensation law. The money, according to state documents, was likewise later repaid.
There also have been more minor cases. Zygi Wilf filed a lawsuit in New Jersey earlier this year when he rented four personal exercise machines, claimed an elliptical machine did not fit in the room he wanted to put it in and wanted his rental fee and security deposit back.
James Alexis said the Wilfs can be persistent courtroom adversaries — no matter how little money is involved. Alexis owns Professional Edge Landscaping and in 2010 sued the Wilfs in New Jersey for failing to pay just under $7,000 in past due bills.
"They wanted stuff for free," he said. Then "I come [to] find out [they own the] Minnesota Vikings." Alexis said he eventually settled the lawsuit for less money.
Questions about bookkeeping
In the Morristown, N.J., case, the judge said she was continually confused by Zygi Wilf's finances. Wilson said, for example, she was frustrated with Zygi Wilf's explanation regarding the profits of Garden Homes Agency, a company that provided bulk insurance coverage for the Wilfs' properties.
The judge said that Zygi Wilf testified that Garden Homes Agency "pretty much, generally" does not make a profit, and that any financial distributions from the company to him were "many years ago." But she said the evidence showed otherwise. The judge said records from the trial showed that from 1991 to 2009 the company "made a substantial profit," and said the total was $18.4 million.
Wilf, the judge said, later added that there might have been some years when the company made a profit, and added that "there's nothing against the law that says I shouldn't be able to operate at a profitable situation."
She also chastised Zygi Wilf in court last month for having selective memory in not being able to explain why Rachel Gardens was being charged substantially more for insurance than other Wilf projects.
Wilf, according to the judge, seemed to have little criteria for choosing which projects were charged more. "Once again, I have no idea what the witness' answer actually was, or what he was doing, or why he did what he did," said the judge.

Samardzija talks contract after Rizzo's extension
CHICAGO -- Cubs shortstop Starlin Castro signed a long-term deal last August and first baseman Anthony Rizzo received a new contract Monday. What about Jeff Samardzija?
"It's not really important to me, to tell you the truth," Samardzija said Monday. "I'm the type of guy who the play speaks for itself, and if you're healthy and do everything you're supposed to do, like those guys do, and most importantly, do what it takes to win ballgames, that's what it's all about. I'm a little older than they are -- I wouldn't mind being 22 or 23 again -- but baseball-wise, I'm still pretty young. That stuff comes as the game goes."
In Spring Training, the 28-year-old Samardzija said he wanted to pitch first, then talk contract. That's still the way he's looking at it.
"We're still in only the second month of the season," said Samardzija, who is 1-5 with a 3.70 ERA and has not won since Opening Day. "Coming in and starting Opening Day and pitching every fifth game from there, I've felt great. I'm excited to get into the summer and get into August and get toward that high-innings count and see where I'm at as a starter. Nothing has changed. The games that happen out here are the most important for me, personally."
He didn't ask to table negotiations.
"I know they have a lot of things on their minds right now," Samardzija said of the Cubs' front office. "We have an understanding that we both want to be here, and both want me here, and that's a great place to be. It's up to me to do my job on the field."
The right-hander recognizes that players are paid based on what they do on the field.
"I want my play to determine how everything goes down," he said. "I have high expectations for myself and this team. That comes first. I feel everything after that will fall into line for me, personally."

Nevertheless, the whole thing has started me thinking about using Kinect as an alternative to more traditional means of getting user input. Of course, not all applications are suitable for rewriting so that they use hand gestures, but some of them might be. And I think it would be a lot of fun to develop applications using Kinect. The first try (a fingerpaint application) has already proven to be a success for my 8 year old daughter and her friends…
Could Kinect be the poor mans version of Surface? Well, it does have potential! So stay tuned for more!
Update: Apparently Microsoft now says it's not going to happen. Read about that at ZDNet. Well, we'll just have to wait and see!

To calculate lineal feet of trim, (e.g. base, quarter round) simply measure each wall in the room and add up the lineal feet. For ease of installation use whole pieces where ever possible. Allow extra for cutting each corner and splicing pieces together.
To determine the square footage of a square or rectangular room, measure the length and width of the room in feet or inches and enter the values in Area 1 of the calculator below. For irregularly shaped areas or multiple rooms, it is helpful to draw a diagram and divide the room up into sections. Treat each section as a separate area, as in this illustration. Input the measurements of each area below to see the total SQFT needed.

One of the attackers, who spoke Arabic, told Dr. Barghouti, "let the Intifada help you," suggesting the attack was politically motivated and that they could be collaborators with Israel.
"What happened was an assassination attempt. A cheap and cowardly criminal act," said Dr. Barghouti.
"I believe the attack is targeted at the Palestinian popular resistance, at the Palestinian people and their leaders. It represents serious risk to freedom of speech, pluralism and Palestinian civil society. Those who committed this crime are not only criminals but are definitely serving the interests of the occupation."
He added the incident, "represents a risk to people's personal safety and shows no Palestinian is safe."
Dr. Barghouti emphasised that the attack should not discourage the popular resistance movement and that he will remain committed to the non-violent struggle.
"It will not stop me from struggling for our freedom, performing my humanitarian work and believing in the power of non-violence. It will not distract me from my duty. We will continue until we stop all settlement activities, until we end this occupation and most importantly, until we guarantee that our prisoners will be released."
"Our struggle is also aimed at building a free democratic Palestinian state with respect, freedom of speech and organisation."
Dr. Barghouti thanked all the Palestinians and internationals who called to express their support, adding that this attack will only lead to more unity among the people and an unprecedented level of solidarity.
"You would never have imagined that all these different political parties and organisations would gather in this way. The most important thing is that we have shown the possibility of having a united leadership. We will not be silent about what happened, we have to continue."

OUR Aims & Objectives
Following short story clearly illustrates our aims and objectives
Holmes and Watson are on a camping trip. In the middle of the night Holmes wakes up and gives Dr. Watson a nudge, "Watson", he says, "look up in the sky and tell me what you see." "I see millions of stars, Holmes," says Watson. "And what do you conclude from that, Watson?" Watson thinks for a moment. "Well," he says, "astronomically, it tells me that there are millions of galaxies and potentially billions of planets. Astrologically, I observe that Saturn is in Leo. Horologically, I deduce that the time is approximately a quarter past three. Meteorologically, I suspect that we will have a beautiful day tomorrow. Theologically, I see that God is all-powerful, and we are small and insignificant. Uh, what does it tell you, Holmes?" Watson, you idiot! Someone has stolen our tent!"
The point is Dr. Watson knows everything beside the one that is most relevant. Edexcel and CIE examination boards require very precise answers and students like Dr. Watson often miss the point. This is the most prevalent problem amongst students. edexcel-cie.com aims to bring precision and accuracy in students' work by providing

A coalition of more than a dozen news outlets is telling the Obama administration that its ban on the commercial use of drones—and "drone journalism" in general—goes against the First Amendment.
"This overly broad policy, implemented through a patchwork of regulatory and policy statements and an ad hoc cease-and-desist enforcement process, has an impermissible chilling effect on the First Amendment newsgathering rights of journalists," the media told the National Transportation Safety Board.
The filing was submitted in a Federal Aviation Administration appeal to a National Transportation Safety Board administrative judge's ruling that said the FAA illegally adopted the ban on the commercial use of small drones, and therefore the 2007 regulations are unenforceable.
Tuesday's filing comes four days after the National Park Service announced a rule barring all drone flights from Yosemite, a regulation that experts said was legally questionable.
Regulators' attacks on the commercial use of drones have included everything from drone journalism to a nonprofit search-and-rescue outfit using drones.
The media groups signing on to the filing include Advance Publications (the owner of Condé Nast, Ars Technica's parent company), The Associated Press, Cox Media Group, Gannett, Gray Television, Hearst, McClatchy, the National Press Photographers Association, the National Press Club, The New York Times, the Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press, the Radio-Television Digital News Association, Scripps Media, Sinclair Broadcast Group, the Tribune Company, and The Washington Post.
In response, the FAA said the administrative law judge's earlier decision puts in jeopardy "the safe operation of the national airspace system and the safety of people and property on the ground."

I have temperature as a raster file and different ecoregions of a province as polygons. What I want to do is calculate the mean temperature per ecoregion.
I succeeded in doing this by Zonal Statistics which creates an output raster, but what I actually want, as I realized later, is I the temperature value per ecoregion. So how do I assign that value to the ecoregion?
I thought I can do zonal statistics as table and then join this table to the ecoregion. It does work but for some reason it does not calculate values for some of the ecoregions (1400 ouf of 7400 get null values). I tried to find a pattern in the ecoregions that didn't get assigned a value, so e.g if they were too small or have a too complicated shape or if they are at the edge of the province...but no..they are just randomly distributed.
Any ideas or something that I am missing?

GCH CH LTO Prosperity
This afternoon's report comes in from the Great Plains. First, we have a "Betcha never saw this before" moment. The Ruby & King Charles English Toy Spaniel, GCH CH LTO Prosperity, pulled off the hat trick, three BIS in one cluster, at the Northeast Oklahoma Kennel Club and Bartlesville Kennel Club shows four shows, April 11-14, in Grove OK.
GCH CH Dawin Hearts On Fire
Thursday, BIS judge James Fredriksen preferred Prosperity to the Standard Poodle, GCH CH Dawin Hearts On Fire, whom he preferred to the Pointer, CH Chesterhope State of T Art, the Afghan Hound, GCH CH Maya's Mocking Bird, the Newfoundland, CH Numa's Cest La Vie Seabrook, the Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier, CH Shandalee Fireworks, and the Border Collie, GCH CH F Si A Ge Of Fu You Yuan Kennel.
CH Chesterhope State of T Art
Friday, judge Fred Bassett, would go with the Pointer, Miley, and the Standard Poodle, Flame, as his BIS & RBIS, while the Pharaoh Hound, Mia's Bakhu Risky Business Of Hallam, the Giant Schnauzer, CH Seven Seas Auroras Adonis, the Norwich Terrier, GCH CH Skyscots Texas Hold'Em, the Toy Spaniel, Prosperity, and the German Shepherd Dog, GCH CH Wolf Creek Galaxy Of Merivern.
The rest of the weekend belonged to Propserity and handler Jeff Wright. Saturday Prosperity and the Pointer, Miley caught the eye of judge Steven Hubbell, while the Ibizan Hound, CH Serandida East So Bigstar, the Giant Schnauzer, GCH CH Skansen's Harvard, and the previously seen Norwich, Standard Poodle, and GSD. Judge Don Duerksen would wrap it up on Sunday with Prosperity and Miley as his top two. Also there at the end were the now familiar Afghan, the Giant, Harvard, the Norwich, Decker, the Standard Poodle, Flame, and the Rough Collie, Windcrest Blown Away.
We rarely get to see a Toy Spaniel win back2back BIS, much less a hat trick. Hopefully one of you breed specialists can tell us if this is a first time occurrence. The three wins brings to five the number of BIS for Prosperity this year. Congratulations to Jeff, breeder/owner Mark Landers, and owner Ray J Cole.

More recently fanciers were in Grand Island NE last weekend for the hometown kennel club's two shows. Saturday's final saw judge Norm Kenney in the ring with English Setter, GCH CH Stardom Country Squire Livin' In The Limelight, the Afghan Hound, GCH CH Elmo's Martian Chronicles, the Kuvasz, GCH CH Szumeria's Wildwood Silver Six Pence, the Australian Terrier, GCH CH Dunham Lake Scout Master, the Pug, GCH CH Belaire's Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs, the Bichon Frise, GCH CH Vogelflight's "Honor" to Pillowtalk, and the Australian Shepherd, CH Copperridge What's Your Dream.
His Best In Show was the Bichon, Honor, and his Reserve was the Pug, Gibbs. Honor is the Number two Bichon and the Number Five Non-Sporting Dog with three BIS this year.
GCH CH Szumeria's Wildwood Silver Six Pence
Sunday, Keke Kahn would choose Honor as her RBIS and give the BIS to the Kuvasz, Tanner. She might have chosen the Brittany, Rainbow Splash's Ruggedly Handsome, the Norwegian Elkhound, Aspen's Hard Act To Follow, the above named Australian Terrier, the Smooth Coat Chihuahua, GCH CH Shorepointe´s Buddy Dazzler, or the previously seen Australian Shepherd, but she didn't.
Tanner, the winningest Kuvasz in AKC history, was 2012's Number Seven Dog All Breeds. He has been taking it easy this year making only occasional appearances. Sunday's win was his first of 2013. Congratulations to breeders/owners Lynn Brady, and Connie Townsend, co-breeders Bea & Clay Page, owners Mercedes Vila & Claudia Muir, and handler Diana Wilson.

Remarks by President McAleese at the Annual Parliament Meeting of the Irish Senior Citizens Parliament, 26th March 2010
Dia dhíbh go léir inniu. Tá an-áthas orm bheith anseo libh ar an ócáid speisialta seo. Míle bhuíochas dibh as an gcuireadh agus an fáilte a thug sibh dom.
Thanks to each of you for the warm welcome to the Irish Senior Citizens Parliament and to President Sylvia Meehan for inviting me.
This Parliament is one of a number of Senior Citizens Parliaments across the EU, providing access to political decision-making at the highest level and enhancing the coordinated and collective voice of older people, in particular those at risk of social exclusion. It only exists because you care about the quality of life of our senior citizens and care enough to get involved, get organized and insist on being heard. Thanks to your individual sense of responsibility and collective efforts, this Parliament has become a recognized and necessary centre of gravity right at the forefront of representing the distinctive needs and perspectives of older people at local, national and international levels. I thank you for giving older people such a structured and effective opportunity to engage actively on the many issues that affect your day-to-day lives.
They say that with age comes wisdom. A lot of other things come along too, things that can change a person's context and priorities considerably. Among the images I have from my teenage days is the memory of the rehabilitation of a small local park into which benches were specially put for the first time for seniors. It was a kindly well-intentioned thought but it carried a subliminal message that those of advancing years were expected to be sedentary and to be spectators. A more recent image points up the changed expectations and ambitions of Ireland's seniors – that is the opening of the first Tone Zone, a public outdoor gym for seniors in Dunshaughlin, thanks to Meath County Council's Tom Dowling and the redoubtable Mary Nally. That good idea has caught on all over Ireland so strongly that the equipment once manufactured in China is now manufactured here. The "grey pound/euro" and "grey ambition" are showcasing their collective power and their intention to use their lives to the full in new and imaginative ways that enhance its quality and its opportunities.

Comedian John Pinette to perform April 13 at Penn State York
Comedian John Pinette to perform April 13 at Penn State York
John Pinette will present an evening of stand-up comedy at 8 p.m. April 13, in Penn State York's Pullo Family Performing Arts Center (The Pullo Center). Tickets are $38.75 and go on sale at 10 a.m. Feb. 15. Tickets can be purchased at www.pullocenter.yk.psu.edu, The Pullo Center Box Office or by phone at 717-505-8900. The show is for all ages.

His current comedy special "Still Hungry" debuted on Comedy Central on July 29, 2011, and was released on DVD in August. The food-obsessed, storytelling Pinette delivers smart, original, Bill Cosby-influenced observations on everyday life. "Still Hungry" is a follow-up to his successful "I'm Starvin'!" and "Show Me the Buffet" CDs and DVDs.
Pinette is no rookie to the stage. For the past 16 years, he has been in entertainment one way or another. Once he realized he could use his knack to make people laugh and turn it into a career, he left his job as an accountant and began touring comedy clubs around the country.
His caught his big break when he was asked to tour with Frank Sinatra and he has since become a regular guest on "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno" and "The View." Most recently, Pinette came off the theatrical stage and to the stand-up stage after wrapping up his starring role as Edna Turnblad in the winning Broadway musical "Hairspray."
His note-worthy accomplishments include being named Stand-Up Comedian of the Year by the American Comedy Awards in 1999 and he was also nominated for a Gemini Award for his television performance at The Montreal Comedy Festival in 2000. Pinette's acting career includes roles alongside Gwyneth Paltrow in the movie "Duets," Arnold Schwarzenegger in "Junior" and with John Travolta in "The Punisher." He is experienced in both film and television, and has been featured in programs such as "Parker Lewis Can't Lose" and starred as a car-jack victim in the final episode of "Seinfeld."

Cook the Book: Le Bernardin's Tuna Tartare 'Sandwich'
Looking at the long list of ingredients and multiple recipes-within-a-recipe, it's hard to believe that Le Bernardin's take on tuna tartare is one of the least labor-intensive dishes on the menu.
If you are intimidated by the sheer quantity, not to mention quality, of ingredients specified in this recipe, consider making just the excellent, Asian-inspired spice rub and ginger oil, which you can work into your existing repertoire of fish dishes. But if you do decide to give it a go, this combination of raw and seared yellowfin tuna, with its bright, spicy sauce and crisp flatbread accompaniment, is a cut above other tartares.
- Yield:4
- For the seared tuna:
- 8 ounces sushi-quality yellowfin tuna
- Fine sea salt
- 2 teaspoons spice rub (recipe follows)
- 2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil
- Freshly ground white pepper
- For the tuna tartare:
- 8 ounces yellowfin tuna
- 1 1/2 tablespoons ginger oil (recipe follows)
- 1 tablespoon wasabi paste
- 1 tablespoon minced scallion (white part only)
- 2 teaspoons minced jalapeño
- 1 tablespoon cilantro julienne
- 1 tablespoon yuzu juice*
- 2 tablespoons canola oil
- 1/4 teaspoon Sriracha chile sauce
- Fine sea salt and freshly ground white pepper
- For the sauce:
- 1/4 cup crème fraîche
- 1 1/2 teaspoons yuzu juice*
- 1/4 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- Fine sea salt and freshly ground white pepper
- Espelette pepper powder
- For the garnish:
- 4 flatbread crackers
- 1/2 lemon
- 12 micro cilantro sprouts
- 1 1/2 teaspoons ground ginger
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon Espelette pepper powder
- 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground white pepper
- 4 ounces ginger, peeled and minced
- 1/2 cup canola oil
For the seared tuna, trim any blood line or dark spots from the tuna. Lightly season on both sides with salt and the spice rub and drizzle the olive oil over each side. Heat a large nonstick pan over high heat. Sear the tuna in the hot pan turning once, until browned on both sides but still raw in the center. Set aside.
For the tuna tartare, cut the tuna into 1/4-inch dice. Refrigerate.
For the sauce, whisk the crème fraiche, yuzu juice, wasabi paste, and mustard together in a small bowl. Season with salt, white pepper, and Espelette pepper powder. Thin with water as needed; the consistency should be just pourable.
When ready to serve, slice the seared tuna steak into very thin slices; you need 24 slices total. Lightly season the slices with salt and pepper and brush with extra virgin olive oil.
Combine the diced tuna, ginger oil, wasabi, scallion, jalapeño, cilantro, yuzu juice, canola oil, and chile sauce in a stainless steel bowl. Gently mix and season with salt and white pepper.
To serve, place one-quarter of the tuna tartare in the center of each plate, lightly packing it into the shape of a flabread cracker. Lay the crackers on top of the tartare. Drape the tuna slices over the crackers (6 slices per serving). Spoon some sauce around each plate. Squeeze lemon juice over the tuna, and garnish with the micro cilantro sprouts.
Spice Rub
Combine all ingredients and mix well. Store in a tightly sealed container for up to 1 week.
Ginger Oil
Put the ginger in a clean jar and add the oil. Seal tightly and let stand at room temperature for 2 hours, or refrigerate overnight, before using. Store refrigerated for up to 2 weeks.
* Yuzu is a Japanese citrus fruit; both the fruit and its juice can be found in many Asian markets. If it's not available, lime juice is an acceptable substitute.

Taming the Cyberlibertarians
New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman made some interesting rhetorical choices in a New York Times op‐ed yesterday taking after share economy leaders AirBnB and Uber. The challenge they present to outdated regulation leads him to call these businesses "cyberlibertarians" and "cybercowboys." The latter awkward metaphor inhabits the title of the piece: "Taming the Digital Wild West."
It's an awkward metaphor because "Wild West" was an epithet leveled at the Internet itself in its early days. Thank heavens the forces of stasis didn't prevent us from inhabiting this place—and here's hoping they won't prevent us from finding new terrain. How safe and impoverished we would be, both materially and spiritually, if we didn't have the rollicking, wide‐open Internet.
But the most interesting rhetorical choice is his effort to push community‐enhancing job‐creation into the "libertarian" corner of Times' readers' vistas. His hope, it appears, is that readers' revulsion around the word "libertarian" (if not liberty itself) will overcome what they know about car‐ and room‐sharing. People all over New York and the world are operating small businesses, and these small businesses bring them in close personal contact with others. They build wealth, and they build community.
Calling that "cyberlibertarian" may just cause some reflexive progressives and conservatives to take a fresh look at liberty. While we're working toward miracles, maybe people will drop the "cyber" prefix, too!
(Disclosure: I've used both AirBnB and Uber with generally wonderful results.)

Churches sometimes do not have a very realistic view of themselves. Often this becomes very evident, when they begin to search for a pastor. It happens all the time, but it is out in the open during the pastor search process. Surveys are completed by the congregation in which individual members create a long list of qualities a pastor ought to have and things a pastor ought to do. Because each member has a different set of desires, the list for the prospective pastor becomes very long. So long, that no one person could meet all of the requirements. The church will select a new pastor because they believe that they have found such a person when in reality that is highly unlikely. Soon it will become evident and murmuring will begin. (See the book of Numbers)
It is easy for church members to get an overinflated view of their church because they will be flooded with resumes. This gives them the idea that their church must be the most desirable of all churches, when often the reality is that there are simply a very large number of pastors who are looking for any way out of the situation they are currently in. Often the pastor who has submitted a resume to your church only did it because he has fallen victim to unrealistic expectations at his current church.
I think that it is a good idea for a church which is seeking a pastor to fill out a pastoral profile survey. Really it would be a good idea any time. It should accomplish at least two things. First, it will provide some guidance to the search committee. More importantly, I hope that it will serve as a wake-up call to the entire congregation that the list of expectations could very easily and unintentionally grow to the point that no one person could meet all of them. I also hope that this reminder would temper expectations not only during the search process but also throughout the pastor's entire tenure. This also should help church members realize that any time any leader, including a pastor, makes a decision about what direction to go, how to get there, allocating time (including his), allocating resources, etc., etc. he will make some people happy and some people unhappy. It is not possible to make decisions that will make everyone happy.
In addition to the pastoral profile survey, I think a church ought to also fill out a "congregational profile survey". I suggest a blank piece of paper for each church member who will write a dozen qualities that a prospective pastor could reasonably expect that a church member ought to have or things that a church member ought to do. I would ask the individual church members to write down what qualities of church members would be attractive to a prospective pastor. I am not speaking of finances or facilities or location, but rather personal qualities of the individual members, i.e. the same sort of things found on the pastoral profile surveys. I also suggest that a few more should be added from the perspective of the pastor's wife and children. Often we have unrealistic expectations of them as well.
Thoughtfully and prayerfully completing both the pastoral profile and the congregational profile should help us all have more reasonable expectations of each other. Often we become disgruntled because of expectations that could never be met by any human being. Christ is the alpha and the omega, the beginning and the end. No man ever is.

CEO pleads guilty to 20-year, $200 million fraud
(CBS/AP) IOWA CITY, Iowa - Peregrine Financial Group CEO Russ Wasendorf Sr. pleaded guilty Monday to carrying out a 20-year fraud that duped investors and transformed his image from a highly-regarded businessman to one of Iowa's most notorious corporate criminals.
During a court hearing in Cedar Rapids, Wasendorf admitted to the $200 million fraud that he first confessed in a note found on him after an unsuccessful suicide attempt in July. The 64-year-old pleaded guilty to charges of mail fraud, embezzling customer funds and making false statements to two regulatory agencies.
Wearing an orange jail-issued jumpsuit, Wasendorf repeatedly answered "yes, your honor" as he admitted guilt to each element of the four felony counts.
Peregrine CEO to stay in jail
Prosecutor: CEO in Iowa fraud case admits to fraud
Peregrine CEO due in U.S. District Court over alleged fraud
"Did you embezzle or steal customer funds here in this district?" U.S. Magistrate Judge Jon Scoles asked.
"Yes, your honor," replied Wasendorf, who later repeated "guilty" four times when asked how he pleaded to the charges.
Prosecutors said Wasendorf likely will face a recommended minimum sentence of at least 24 years in prison at his sentencing hearing, which was not immediately scheduled.
U.S. District Judge Linda Reade ruled Monday that Wasendorf would remain in the Linn County jail while she considers the prosecution's claim that he poses a risk of fleeing abroad or committing suicide before sentencing. A magistrate ruled last week that Wasendorf could be released after Monday's plea hearing to live in suburban Cedar Rapids with his pastor before sentencing, but prosecutors appealed.
The guilty plea marks the latest step in the stunning downfall of a businessman and philanthropist who was well-known in financial circles and a major player in Cedar Falls. It comes as a receiver is dismantling the business empire and image that Wasendorf built over decades to pay back the 24,000 customers who are missing money.
The receiver has already gotten rid of Wasendorf's corporate jet, and is trying to sell the company that published Wasendorf's books and magazines on investing. Wasendorf's family charity, known for donations to universities and hospitals, has been frozen. The receiver is also moving to sell Wasendorf's homes, his 4,000-bottle wine collection, the upscale restaurant he owned in Cedar Falls, and the $20 million company headquarters that stood as a symbol of Wasendorf's home-grown success with a firm he started in an Iowa basement 30 years ago.
"He has gone from being a hero in his community to a villain," prosecutors wrote in court documents Monday, calling Wasendorf "the perpetrator of one of the most lengthy and egregious frauds in the history of this district."
Wasendorf was arrested in July, days after he was found unconscious in his car in the company's parking lot with a tube hooked up to the exhaust pipe. The suicide attempt came hours after he learned that his company, which marketed itself as PFGBest, would be forced to allow regulators to have electronic access to its bank accounts. That meant he would no longer be able to hide his fraud, and regulators would learn more than $200 million in customer funds was missing.
In his plea agreement, Wasendorf acknowledged that he secretly withdrew customer funds starting in the 1990s and used computers to make phony bank statements to conceal the theft. He gave fraudulent statements to his accounting department showing fictitious deposits and balances. The false numbers were used to generate monthly reports to regulators showing the company was holding more than $200 million in customer funds than it actually had.
Wasendorf fooled auditors with the National Futures Association, the industry's self-regulator, by changing the bank's address in the statements to a post office box he controlled. The auditors would mail forms asking the bank to verify Pergrine's account balances; Wasendorf would send back false documents purporting to be from the bank.
Wasendorf admitted that he used the money to prop up his struggling firm's finances and pay for its headquarters. He also acknowledged using customer money for a range of personal and other business interests, including a Romania real estate firm and the top-notch Italian restaurant in Cedar Falls called myVerona.
Customers of Peregrine, mostly investors in commodities ranging from corn to gold, have been unable to access their money since the firm's collapse in July. An initial payment is expected to be released in coming weeks that will give customers 30 to 40 percent of the money they had in their accounts. Additional payments are expected but the bankruptcy trustee has warned they will fall short of making customers whole.

US Navy Blue Angels Prepare to Soar Again
After a year on hiatus, the elite aviation daredevils are back.
March 15, 2014 -- For Lt. Commander Dave Tickle and the other five demo pilots, performing plunging dives and barrel rolls in an F/A-18 fighter jet with hairpin precision above a cheering crowd is all in a day's work.
They are the U.S. Navy Blue Angels, an elite aviation team that performs daredevil stunts with wing tips as close as 18 inches apart, as spectators watch below.
The Blue Angels have been out of action for a year due to budget cuts, but are making a comeback this year. The team's 2014 debut is today at Naval Air Facility (NAF) in El Centro, Calif., where a crowd of between 35,000 and 50,000 people are expected.
Ahead of their first show, "Nightline" was granted rare access to fly with the demonstration pilots during their final days of winter training.
Stay tuned to watch the full story on "Nightline" next week at 12:35 a.m. ET
The Blue Angels train together six days a week, two or three times a day, both in the gym and in the air -- for years -- each time pushing the envelope as they screech through the air in jets that costs $30 million each.
"We take our physical conditioning very seriously," Lt. Commander Tickle said. "Working out six days a week is no joke."
These men are picked for their skill and calm-under-pressure attitudes. Every Blue Angel pilot is selected by U.S. Navy operational fleet forces and all come from operational squadrons.
Lt. Commander Tickle was chosen from dozens of pilots to be a Blue Angel demo-pilot. Married with one child and another one on the way, Tickle is now in his fourth season with the team. He has a total flight time of over 2,000 flight hours.
"We do it so much that we're not nervous about it," Lt. Commander Tickle said. "Day after day, exact same things, so we're very comfortable doing it knowing that we always have that margin of safety."
His fellow pilots include No. 2 Right Wing Pilot, Lt. Commander John Hiltz, 34, now in his third year as a Blue Angel, and No. 3 Left Wing Pilot, Lt. Commander Nate Barton, who has a wife and three kids. Others include Captain Brandon Cordill and Lt. Mark Tedrow. Navy Commander Thomas Frosch, as known as "Boss," leads the team.
"It's all about inspiring kids," Frosch said. "I was inspired as a 6-year-old. ... It made me say, 'I don't understand the military as a 6-year-old but I want to do that,' and our goal is to inspire a culture of excellence and service to the country."
The team's key to perfection is practice. Each flier is required to put on 120 practice demos before they are ready to do a full show. The squadron trains in the desert to sift out any potential errors that could occur and every flight is crucial. A doctor is on base when the Blue Angels are training and said he watches to see if the nose of a plane starts to dip, which could indicate that the pilot is losing or has lost consciousness.
"They're flying sometimes only at 50 feet and so going unconscious just for a millisecond or a second can be detrimental or catastrophic," said Lt. Commander Mark DeBuse, the flight surgeon for the Blue Angels.
The aircraft are capable of soaring up to 30,000 feet in less than a minute, flying at speeds of over 800 miles per hour in just 30 seconds. The risks are incredibly high. Twenty six pilots have died since the Blue Angels were formed almost 70 years ago, giving this job a 10 percent fatality rate.
Safety is the first concern of any aviation team. By definition, high-performance jets are demanding and unforgiving. Many of the accidents are caused by the pilot's sudden loss of vision or consciousness. This happens because of G-forces on the body when they perform steep, fast turns.
"Unfortunately there have been guys in the past who have passed out," Lt. Commander Barton said. "It's fatal if it happens to you. You can't recover. You are so close to the ground so that's obviously why we take it as seriously as we do."
Lt. Commander Barton is the newest Blue Angels formation pilot. Core strength training is one of the main ways to avoid accidents that can happen in the air, he said.
"We've all had times where we've let that vision curtain close a little further than we'd like to," he said. "You'll start to see your vision start to go away and you need to have the core strength to be able to squeeze that blood back into your head, kind of like a toothpaste tube."
The pressure is on for this season's pilots after their season was canceled last year due to budget cuts. Some may see the Blue Angels performances as gaudy, an unnecessary show of American military might and a waste of money, but maybe those critics haven't see the Blue Angels soar.
"You won't find six other guys that are more excited about flying this year than we are," Lt. Commander Hiltz said. "You know it is really important for us to get back there to connect with the American public."

Forty of the nation's best and brightest high school seniors have been chosen as finalists for Intel's 2013 Science Talent Search.
Offered by the Society for Science & the Public, the Intel-sponsored program chooses finalists based on several factors, including their own scientific research, their achievements, and their leadership, both inside and outside of school.
The competition asks students to come up with scientific solutions to answer questions and resolve problems that affect the entire world.
"This year's Intel Science Talent Search finalists are presenting a wide range of research, from optimizing algae oil for biofuel to developing a new treatment for blood cancer," Wendy Hawkins, executive director of the Intel Foundation, said today in a statement. "It's exciting for the future of innovation because the U.S. needs these 40 high school seniors, and others like them, to question, explore and help solve some of the world's greatest challenges."
The 40 finalists will travel to Washington, D.C., in March to compete for $630,000 in awards.
Finalists in past years have also had the opportunity to meet with the president and scientific leaders and show off their research projects at the National Geographic Society.
Winners across various categories will be announced on March 12. Those categories include bioengineering, chemistry, mathematics, computer science, physics and space science, behavioral and social sciences, and plant science. The top winner of the Talent Search will take home $100,000 from the Intel Foundation.
This year's 40 finalists were chosen from among 300 semifinalists and more than 1,700 entrants.
Over the past 72 years, participants in the Science Talent Search have gone on to win 7 Nobel Prizes, 2 Fields Medals, 5 National Medals of Science, 11 MacArthur Foundation Fellowships, and even an Academy Award for Best Actress (Natalie Portman).

What happened to red-eyed Edward? I was extremely curious of what scene this pic might come from, but it wasn't in the movie. I couldn't have missed it, could I?
My b/f thought his eyes looked a little reddish too. And I am not sure about that picture, lol. Weird.
I watched the movie finally and my thoughts were ... eeeh?
To me, it seemed so rushed in places. I liked how they showed snippets of Rosalie and Jasper's past and also the story of the third wife. Otherwise everything seemed to move so fast after that. Since when was Riley from Forks (or Port Angeles, I do not recall that part being in the book)? And from the time Riley was bit up to the fight was suppose to be about a year? That would mean he should've been bit in New Moon ish, right? Cause Bella is in her senior year in Eclipse and her Junior year in New Moon. I am confused. xD

I came across a sister of an old girlfriend that I had a crush on for some time. I guess the universe had it coming to me one way or another, so I made sure I worked the situation to my favor. Milaa hasn't talked to her sister for a while because she ran out on a few hundred dollars in rent. That was my way in since Milaa didn't really remember me. My little crush wasn't going to be enough of an angle to get my cock in her mouth. I offered to help out with the money she lost which got her to smile more. We found a spot by the park that was a little more private to loosen her up some more. Milaa pretty much knew what was up as she took her shirt off. I gave her the loot, and she stripped down from me. She had amazing curves. Tats are not really my thing but big tits and a phat pussy are. She definitely is a lot more giving than her sister. She was all over my cock, and it was great to finally hit it after some many years. She was so turned on she even let me come on her face.

Harvey has earned respect of National League peers
NEW YORK -- During his time working on Bruce Bochy's coaching staff at the All-Star Game, manager Terry Collins took the opportunity to get an assessment on Matt Harvey from a few of the National League's best players.
All of them complimented Harvey, for good reason. But the one from Cardinals outfielder -- and former Met -- Carlos Beltran stood out.
"I was talking to Carlos the other day in the outfield, and I asked him [about facing Harvey]," Collins said. "He said, 'Terry, in my career, he's the best I've ever faced.' That's a big statement from a guy who's faced the best of the best, in my opinion."
Harvey, who started against the Phillies on Sunday, is 7-2 with a 2.45 ERA in 19 starts this season, and he has 147 strikeouts in 130 innings. He's taken the Major Leagues by storm, earning the All-Star Game start at Citi Field in his first full season.
All of the players to whom Collins spoke lauded Harvey, but Collins said that even with all the praise, he wants Harvey to know his job is to get outs, and that he doesn't have to throw 98 mph each time to get them.
"Each and every start is important to him. I don't want this guy to think every time he goes out there he's got to be throwing 100 mph," he said. "Get outs. Whether they're 94 mph or 98 mph, get outs."
Some All-Stars told Collins that Harvey is so good it's almost unfair. Harvey can throw any of his pitches at any time because his command is so good. It could be a 3-1 count -- a typical fastball count -- but Harvey can throw a secondary pitch for a strike instead.
The high praise for Harvey isn't new, but to hear it coming from some of the best players in the NL means something extra.
"I just think it's a tremendous tribute to Matt and his stuff and how he competes," Collins said. "That's why every five days, it's an event."

Mariners pound Astros to earn sixth straight win
Franklin launches grand slam while Felix cruises through six frames
HOUSTON -- One day after winning a game in which they got just one hit, the Mariners found an easier avenue to victory Sunday as they rolled over the Astros, 12-5, to complete their second straight series sweep.
Rookie second baseman Nick Franklin's grand slam paced a seven-run outburst in the second inning as Seattle supplied plenty of support for Felix Hernandez.
"It was definitely a great bounce-back from yesterday after only having the one hit," said Franklin. "But at the same time, we've been swinging it well and it was just one of those adjustment periods we had to go through and get back after it the next day."
Hernandez was the happy beneficiary of the offensive production. The Mariners' ace won his sixth straight decision, improving to 11-4 with an American League-leading 2.43 ERA as he threw six shutout innings with four hits, one walk and seven strikeouts before being replaced after 99 pitches.
"It's fun to pitch like that," Hernandez said after getting a seven-run lead to work with in the second inning. "The last few weeks we've been scoring a lot of runs. We've just got to continue to do that and we're going to win a lot of games."
Seattle extended its winning streak to a season-high six games. At 46-52, the Mariners are within six games of .500 for the first time since May 21 as they head home to begin a seven-game homestand.
The Mariners continued their midseason offensive surge with their third double-digit scoring effort in the past 10 games. Seattle, which finished last in the American League in scoring the past four years, has the most runs and home runs in the Majors in July and has scored four or more runs in 16 of its last 17 contests.
"This is about as good a stretch as we've had since I've been here in 2011," said center fielder Dustin Ackley, who had three of Seattle's 13 hits. "This is a great feeling. It's not like we're doing it here or there. We've been doing it every day for the last couple weeks, so that's definitely an exciting thing."
The Mariners have gotten a nice push recently from several rookies. Franklin, 22, now has seven home runs and 24 RBIs in his first 45 games in the Majors and is hitting .268 after a 2-for-6 day.
Franklin's seven home runs are tied for second-most among American League rookies behind Aaron Hicks' eight for the Twins.
Shortstop Brad Miller added two hits and two RBIs as the two rookies atop the Mariners order combined to go 4-for-11 with six RBIs.
Astros right-hander Jordan Lyles threw seven shutout innings in Seattle last month in a sterling three-hit effort, but the Mariners jumped on the 22-year-old for 10 runs -- nine earned -- with eight hits, two walks and two hit batters in four-plus innings this time.
Seattle's seven runs in the second equaled its season high for an inning. Ackley had a bases-loaded infield single to score the first run, Henry Blanco got hit by a pitch to add another and Miller delivered an RBI base hit to left before Franklin crushed a 1-1 fastball into the right-field seats.
It was Franklin's first career grand slam, but the slender second baseman has already shown surprising power.
"They always say I'm like wiry strong," Franklin said. "I definitely put the work in in the weight room, though obviously it doesn't look like it. Other than that, I just try to square the ball up as much as I can. If it goes out, it goes out."
The early seven-run cushion was all the help Hernandez needed. Fresh off his fourth All-Star appearance, the 27-year-old continued an impressive stretch in which he's gone 6-0 with a 2.34 ERA over 10 starts since his last loss on May 25 in Texas.
"I feel pretty good," Hernandez said. "I've just been throwing a lot of strikes, trying to control the walks and just pound the strike zone and that helped me a lot."
Hernandez has yet to allow a run in 12 innings in two starts against the Astros this year.
"I don't think I've ever been in a ballpark where he's pitched and wasn't impressed," said Houston skipper Bo Porter. "He's one of the best in the game and showed it again today."
The Astros scored five runs against relievers Hector Noesi and Bobby LaFromboise after Hernandez's departure, but left-hander Lucas Luetge chipped in a perfect eighth with two strikeouts in his first Major League appearance in the stadium he often attended as a youth.
Luetge said two charter buses of fans came from his hometown of Industry, Texas, to see the game.
"I could hear the little cheers in the background, so it made me feel pretty special having everyone here," he said.
And with the offense providing a comfortable cushion, all the Mariners headed home happy after Seattle recorded its first road sweep since May 18-20, 2012 at Colorado and first AL West road sweep of three or more games since April 10-12, 2009 at Oakland.
"You saw yesterday we got one hit and scored four runs," said Ackley. "So we came here today expecting to put up twice or three times as many. Everybody has that confidence and it just keeps rolling. The All-Star break didn't really have any affect. This is something that is pretty real and everybody believes in it."

This is the album that started it all. It features Richard Perlmutter's witty, irreverent and hilarious lyrics set to some of the world greatest masterpieces of classical music.
On this album are some of Perlmutter's finest gems. There's "Beethoven's Wig" - a description the old master's giant hairpiece set to the immortal "5th Symphony." And "Tchaikovsky's Cannonball," the story of the "big bang" the composer made when he brought a cannon to a performance of his "1812 Overture." Also included is the song that audiences dance along to at every Beethoven's Wig concert, the famous "Can You Can Can?" set to the famous Can Can by Offenbach. Other favorites are "Just For Elise," in which Perlmutter rhymes everything with the name of one of Beethoven's many girlfriends, and "Please Don't Play Your Violin at Night," about Mozart's never ceasing desire to write and play music.
As a bonus (one that's included in every Beethoven's Wig album), there are trivia questions about the pieces and the composers. And for kids, parents and teachers there are activities to supplement the songs. At the end of the vocal renditions, each piece is performed without the words by a world-class orchestra, just as it was originally written.
"Brilliant, absolutely brilliant!" said Pulse Magazine. This album won Perlmutter his first Grammy Award Nomination and was designated an American Library Association "Notable Recording." Beethoven's Wig is a timeless classic. A must have for any music collection.
