Blanco leads the way as Giants rout Braves
San Francisco, CA (Sports Network) - Gregor Blanco hit a three-run double and an RBI triple, while Madison Bumgarner tossed seven stellar frames as the San Francisco Giants downed the Atlanta Braves, 10-1, in the third installment of a four-game set at AT&T Park.
Pablo Sandoval added a solo homer and Brandon Belt hit a two-run single for the Giants, who pushed across four runs in both the fifth and eighth innings.
Bumgarner (4-1) fanned 11 batters and allowed one run on four hits for San Francisco, which has won three of four and nine of its last 12 overall.
Atlanta starter Paul Maholm (4-4) drove in the team's only run, but allowed six runs on eight hits. The lefty also issued three walks with three strike outs over 4 1/3 innings of work.
Atlanta's only run came in the fifth, as Maholm helped his own cause and cut the Braves' deficit to 2-1 with a shallow, two-out single to left. That's the only offense the visitors received, though, as the bottom half of the inning proved to be their, and Maholm's demise.
Marco Scutaro extended his hitting streak to 11 games with a triple to right field that Justin Upton misjudged and let slip by with one out. Maholm then plunked Sandoval before serving up Buster Posey's RBI double to right to make it a 3-1 game. Once again, Upton poorly attempted to catch the ball as it sailed over his head and looked to be catchable.
Maholm's last batter faced, Hunter Pence, was intentionally walked to load the bases with one out. It didn't get any easier for reliever Cory Gearin, who allowed Blanco's base-clearing double in the right-field gap to expand San Francisco's advantage to 6-1.
San Francisco added four more runs in the eighth. Blanco hit an RBI triple and Guillermo Quiroz followed with a run-scoring double, to make it an 8-1 Giants lead. Belt provided a pinch-hit, two-run single to account for the final margin.
Sandoval helped the Giants take a 1-0 lead in the first inning. Facing a 3-2 count with two outs, he crushed Maholm's offering deep to left for his fifth home run of the season.
The hosts added another run in the fourth. With runners on first and third with two outs, Brandon Crawford sliced a double down the left-field line, scoring Posey for a 2-0 Giants lead.
Game Notes
It was Bumgarner's first win against the Braves since earning a victory in Game 4 of the 2010 National League Divisional series. He was 0-3 in his last four starts versus Atlanta since then ... Maholm is 0-3 in six career starts at AT&T Park ... Atlanta's Dan Uggla went 0-for-4 with four strike outs.

CHICAGO (CBS) — The commute home last night on Lake Shore Drive was a little rough for some ducks.
As WBBM Newsradio 780's Nancy Harty reports, the mother duck and her five ducklings were found in a Streeterville parking garage by Jamie Holbrook around 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, according to the Chicago Tribune.
Ushering them to a park, and what she thought was safety, Holbrook saw them trying to cross Lake Shore Drive, the Tribune said.
With the help of a Good Samaritan, she scooped the ducklings up. But three fell into a storm drain.
Police, fire, and Streets and Sanitation workers came in, and a tow truck yanked off the manhole cover.
Crews used a baseball cap to rescue the stranded ducklings, and released them into Lake Michigan.

Posts tagged: Lois Lane
One of the things that bothers me I guess about Superman's current status quo is the fact that Lois Lane is absent from his life in a significant manner. This isn't to say I'm anti- Wonder Woman, I love Wonder Woman as a character. The thing is, Lois was Clark's anchor to the real world. She grounded him and made him realize the complexity of normal human beings.
I worked on the Superman books for the better part of three years and this was the only time that I got to draw this side of their relationship.
Lois Lane is as much a part of the Superman legacy as Clark Kent is. Someone forgot that along the way.
One of my greatest points of pride in my career is that I along with the immensely talented Chris Roberson got to close out this chapter of Superman's history.
My regret is that I didn't get to stay longer.
I agree on every point, in every particular. It was an honor to do that last issue with Jamal.
Whenever I think of Lois Lane, I think of this Fleischer cartoon. Really.
I'm on vacation this week so I've lined up a number of other bloggers and readers to give their thoughts on the world I cover. Today I have post from Natasha Townsel who, as you will see, describes her self as a "huge" Superman fan. Today Natasha give her thoughts on a recent issue of Action comics. It is a terrific piece so please give it a read.
I am a huge Superman fan. No, let's get something clear: I am a HUGE Superman fan. I collect comics, memorabilia, DVDs of now-defunct Superman TV series, and any and all Superman movies, both live action and animated. I love Clark Kent because of who he is, not because of what he can do. The fact that Clark possesses all those powers, yet remains an incredibly humble man from the Midwest who just wants to do the best he can to help moves me deeply. I love that his entire purpose is for us as humans to use the abilities that we were born with to benefit humanity. The ultimate theme of this character is hope, not revenge, fear, or hubris. Clark believes the best in humans because he was raised by two of humanity's best representatives. He believes in second chances (and third and fourth) and that there is good in everyone. He believes that all life is precious and will do everything he can to preserve it. Superman is the ideal representation of humanity and inspires us to be our best possible selves.
"It's not invulnerability or flight or heat vision or super speed that makes him the World's Greatest Hero. It's that Superman refuses to despair. He is a testament to the opposite, in fact. Superman is hope." (Adventures of Superman #640)
Here are some notes and images from Lois Lane, Girl Reporter, a pitch for a series of illustrated young adult novels I worked on a few years ago for DC Comics. Story by me, with considerable brainstorming help from my pal John Campbell, and art by Project: Rooftop fan favorite Daniel Krall.
My wonderful editor, Chris Cerasi, was a real champion of the series, which we codenamed "Project 77," and while we had a great time working on it and finding this secret window into the DCU, it doesn't look like the current leadership of DC is remotely interested in this kinda thing. I thought some Lois Lane fans here on the interwebs might at least like a look at what might have been…
As I started planning my best and worst of 2011 for DC women, a year which saw enormous change and debate, I thought that rather than just offering my opinion, I'd ask other smart comic reading women from across the net to give me some of their best and worst of the year as well. I'm glad I did. First, because it helped me remember some things I forgot and more importantly because they had brought some good commentary.
When I do these, I never know where to start — do I praise first and criticize later? Or do I get the criticism out of the way first and then end on a positive note. Or do I just flip a coin a la Two-Face?
The coin said worst goes first so here we go! I want to note there were a lot of answers and I wish I could have included all of them but I tried to include the consensus (if any of you ladies want to post your whole list I'll be glad to link). Some other topics, such as the change to Wonder Woman's origin, will be touched upon in the next post which will have a whole list of positives so be assured this isn't going to be only a negative endeavor.
I'm kinda sad based on what I saw coming out of SDCC yesterday. Why? Let me show you:
Catwoman with her bra showing. And why not? According to the writer, "This is a dirty, dirty book, and you're going to enjoy it." Why? Because Catwoman is "a chick in a catsuit who steals things" "If…
Sigh. Just… sigh.
Superman hates jealous women!

Well, not yet it doesn't. But it will. Oh, how it will, if you good little boys and girls go and download the demo right away.
See, Volition Inc and Y2K have done a sort of deal. As the demo for Red Faction: Armageddon (more details in our first impressions article here) was released yesterday on Xbox Live, they're offering a potential unlockable weapon.
Milliseconds later, that alien was dead
It's a unicorn that farts rainbows at your enemies. Deadly laser rainbows. The unicorn's name is Mr Toots. We're not making this up.
But how do we get hold of Mr Toots, and unleash his deadly stream of butt-warfare on the aliens that are trying to take over Mars? How can we add his multicoloured charms to our arsenal (ARSEnal, geddit? Only top quality humour here at FHM)?
It's simple – once 1 million downloads of the Red Faction: Armageddon demo have been completed, they'll release the windy little blighter and we'll be free to point his rectum at stuff and have it explode in a ray of cosmic flatulence.
With a unicorn that farts rainbows, Mars is almost too easy to save
For more details on Mr Toots, why not watch this instructional video?
Aside from deadly mythical creatures, here are 4 other reasons why you should download the demo for Red Faction:
1. It has a magnet gun that launches bits of the scenery around the place and into baddies
2. The magnet gun can also fire baddies into walls if you want
3. Similarly, the magnet gun can fire baddies into other baddies making a sort of delicious baddy sandwich
4. Seriously, just download it for the magnet gun. To be honest we don't even care about the stupid unicorn
The demo for Red Faction: Armageddon is out now on Xbox Live and has been since yesterday, so go download it! The game itself is out on 3 June 2011 for Xbox and PS3

Ancoats is in the process of transforming itself from a dilapidated former Cottonopolis into a 21st Century post-industrial suburb. As part of this process, artist Dan Dubowitz was commissioned to document the faded grandeur of the Ancoats built environment before some of it disappeared forever.
Cutting Room Square features five giant sentinels, which house images captured from within the decaying mills. Besides this Dubowitz has created a series of 'peeps', which are portals offering glimpses into the industrial past via found objects. The peeps are deliberately unobtrusive, fixed into anonymous walls, which means that they are likely to be discovered by accident rather than intentionally.
This weekend, there was a series of guided walks around the industrial heritage of Ancoats and I joined one of them. It was like discovering a whole new city within Manchester. Murrays' Mills, for instance, has to be the most spectacular mill complex I have ever seen.Source: ancoatspeeps.com

Changing of the guard?
Barcelona are still highly likely - bar a mahoosive collapse - set to win the La Liga title back from Real Madrid. However, Saturday's win for Mourinho's men over La Blaugrana was the second of the week, both significant in their simplicity. If the Portuguese coach's job was to belittle the Barcelona regime which has thrilled Europe for so long, it would appear his work is done. Even if he is to leave in the summer.
Malaga and Atleti defences are the bosses.
Diego Simeone's first game in charge of Atletico Madrid was a 0-0 draw with Malaga. This weekend they drew 0-0 with Malaga again, failing to completely capitalise on Barca's defeat. It wasn't completely unexpected though - Thibaut Courtois and Willy Caballero are the leading candidates for the Zamora trophy.
Thriller in San Sebastian.
Two of this season's most exciting teams put on a cracking encounter at Real Sociedad's Anoeta on Sunday night. Following two 0-0's in the Sunday schedule, there was pressure on this fixture to produce. It did. Real Betis led 2-0, before trailing 3-2 only to clinch an equaliser through Colombian loanee Dorlan Pabo. Great entertainment.
Espanyol bore draw keeps home form going.
Valladolid came for a draw and got one, frustrating Javier Aguirre's Espanyol as they held out for a 0-0 draw. The home side will be disappointed that their five match winning run came to an end at Cornella-El Prat, but can seek encouragement in the fact they are still unbeaten there since the Mexican took charge.
Massive Mallorca win.
Tomer Hemed's 90+4 minute winner against Granada brought to life thoughts of the great escape for newly-appointed Gregorio Manzano's Mallorca. Still plenty of work to do mind, but it will breathe some confidence into a squad who desperately needed some. The same can't be said for Deportivo la Coruna who drew 0-0 at home with Rayo Vallecano. Draws are not the medicine needed for their survival though.
Jornada 24: Espanyol vs. Real Betis; Cornella-El Prat
To coin an old cliché, football is a very funny game.
Another illustration of this took place at Cornella-El Prat on Sunday night as an Espanyol team, inflated with the confidence that not so long ago resided in Real Betis, took on Los Verdiblancos from Seville.
On the Catalan coast a fixture all-too-frequently gracing screens worldwide was staged in front of the home side's largest attendance of the season. Except this wasn't El Clasico, rather the mini version, the youngsters continuing the feud one league down from La Liga – a concept not familiar in England.
one. one win between the top eight.
Granada's win against floundering Real Madrid, Valencia and Barcelona's draw, Malaga's point against Zaragoza and defeats for Levante, Rayo Vallecano and Real Betis meant that Atletico Madrid's 1-0 win over Los Beticos was the only win for any of La Liga's top eight heading into the weekend's fixtures.[[MORE[[
two. espanyol still on the charge.
Since taking charge Mexican Javier Aguirre has led Espanyol on a fantastic run which has seen them lose just once - to city rivals Barcelona. This weekend they beat Levante 3-2 to record their fourth straight win at home and move a few more points away from the bottom three.
three. schuster to replace caparros?
Another weekend, another defeat for Mallorca. This time they lost 3-0 at Anoeta to in-form Real Sociedad. Following the defeat rumours are floating about that time is up for boss Joaquin Caparros and that he will be replaced by Bernd Schuster - watch this space.
four. big win for osasuna
Struggling Osasuna recored a 1-0 win against Celta Vigo, moving out of the bottom three for the first time in a long time.
five. big losses for galicia
That defeat against Osasuna dropped Celta Vigo into the bottom three alongside Mallorca and fellow Galician's Deportivo la Coruna who themselves suffered a 3-1 defeat to Getafe on Saturday.

Jack here in Thunder Bay. Goderich has had Brian Taheny for several years and I have learned much with him. He is stellar in the area of trad Irish settings and can excel in mando and guitar.Angela…Continue
Hi Rob -- Concert in Westboro went well, even though we had to compete with Westfest! Not a big crowd, but very responsive. Only did a couple of Irish and Quebecois tunes with the banjo -- most was singing stuff with guitar and mandolin. 'Not aware of Colm Naughton's CD -- I'll have to check it out.
Thanks for the birthday greeting, Robert!. My celebrating will definitely include playing some tunes on the banjo...and perhaps quaffing a Guinness or two!
Alas, we won't be making it to southern Ontario this year. Will miss the visiting and the Goderich Celtic Festival (drat!). But will play lots of music between canoe trips! Have a great summer!
Happy Birthday Ron!
Hey Bruce - How did your show go in Westboro go? I tried to attend but couldn't make it work sadly. Incidentally, I just bough 5 CDs: Enda Scahill's Pick It Up, Brian Kelly's Plain of Jars, Colm Naughton's The Space Between the Notes, Adrian McAuliffe & Cathal Flood's Between the Strings, and Damaris Woods' With a Banjo on my Knee. All great albums. I particularly like Colm's album and Brian's. Solid stuff ...
Looks beautiful! Did you restore it yourself? the Finish is outstanding
Hey all - I'm selling one of my banjos, my beautifully restored Paramount Leader. Check it out by clicking HERE
Welcome to the Canadian Club Kenny! What province are you in?
Happy New Year CC all the best in 2014 for all the CC pickers

This is an amazing school! My son has been in many day cares and academies and this one is by far the best. He is now in Pre-K and he has learned so much and his behaviour has improved wonders while at this school. I highly recommend it to anyone in Port Saint Lucie. The staff is great. I have never had an attitude from a teacher or from the administration. Always smiley faces around! My son loves been there. I wish they would add additional grades or have a preparatory academy in town.
My son has been going since last year when he turned 3 and so far, all 3 teachers he has had have been great! He loved his last teacher which we use as a babysitter once in a while. He will be starting VPK this month and will be there till next year! I have not had any problems with any staff and have been happy with my son attending. I felt very comfortable when I first visited the school and have been happy ever since.
Although it is pricey, Chesterbrook is an amazing school. I feel safe dropping my daughter off knowing she will be in the hands of well-trained and caring teachers. I wouldn't go anywhere else!
I regret enrolling my child in this school. Although most teachers are great, there are some teachers that are not trained to teach children in a loving nurturing manner, instead they are rude and unprofessional to innocent little children. Make sure you ask for the teachers credentials before you enroll your child along with the management credentials as well, because I still question the education of some of these teachers and staff members. Just remember looks are deceiving so don't trust easily, this is your child you are trusting these individuals with. This school only cares about money not your child!
Very clean, children wear uniforms, and they have a few choices for attendance to help working parents. Some of the teachers are very good, but some are not well trained. The school has a small parking lot and a very good chance that a child will be hurt as the parents stand out side and talk to each other while the children are running in the parking lot or crossing without supervision. It has potential and our child liked it ok. When we had our child there they did not have lunches except McDonalds or Pizza.
Best preschool in town. My daughter loved the school and learned alot. Would highly recommend. Wonderful.

Hi, could someone help with the page Allan Schwartzberg. Many thanks Joe Vitale 5 (talk) 11:25, 29 September 2014 (UTC)
A photo of "Allan Schwartzberg" would be great!, But for now it just needs a section about his career. Many thanks Joe Vitale 5 (talk) 12:31, 30 September 2014 (UTC)
The article Brent Fitz, is a good example of how I want the Allan Schwartzberg to be like. All the best wishes and kind regards Joe Vitale 5 (talk) 10:23, 10 October 2014 (UTC)
Hello there! As you may already know, most WikiProjects here on Wikipedia struggle to stay active after they've been founded. I believe there is a lot of potential for WikiProjects to facilitate collaboration across subject areas, so I have submitted a grant proposal with the Wikimedia Foundation for the "WikiProject X" project. WikiProject X will study what makes WikiProjects succeed in retaining editors and then design a prototype WikiProject system that will recruit contributors to WikiProjects and help them run effectively. Please review the proposal here and leave feedback. If you have any questions, you can ask on the proposal page or leave a message on my talk page. Thank you for your time! (Also, sorry about the posting mistake earlier. If someone already moved my message to the talk page, feel free to remove this posting.) Harej (talk) 22:48, 1 October 2014 (UTC)
Also the article Nik Kershaw, needs a lot more information, it's almost empty as it misses key infomation. Joe Vitale 5 (talk) 08:35, 9 October 2014 (UTC)
Please see Talk:Wednesday_13#Why_only_one_article.3F. â Cirt (talk) 17:51, 12 October 2014 (UTC)
We appear to have an IP editor who is a grammatical pedant. In this case, he/she has made an edit of the type: "'Band X' are an English rock band" to "'Band X' is an English rock band". Is there a standard WP policy on this? Is there a difference between British English, and American English regarding common usage? CaesarsPalaceDude (talk) 18:28, 17 October 2014 (UTC)
I have noticed that within the past year, some users have vandalized popular '80s band templates by bolding a selection of former members of the band. Some examples of this are the Journey template, the Foreigner template, and the Boston template (which may warrant an exception IMO). But I'm kind of baffled as to why no one has taken care of this yet... I mean, if we're going to bold former members who have long been associated with the band, why not bold Dennis DeYoung on the Styx template, Steve Gaines and Ronnie Van Zant on the Lynyrd Skynyrd template, or Bon Scott, Malcolm Young and even Simon Wright on the AC/DC template? This practice of bolding former members based on their level of involvement seems highly subjective to me. Molandfreak (talk) 05:45, 20 October 2014 (UTC)
I've started a peer review for the WP:GA quality article, R U Professional.
Comments to help further improve quality would be appreciated, at Wikipedia:Peer review/R U Professional/archive1.

Note: Public Citizen submitted testimony to the House Financial Services Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations in advance of its hearing today titled "Who is Too Big to Fail: Does Dodd-Frank Authorize the Government to Break Up Financial Institutions?" The testimony is available here.
Public Citizen commends the House Financial Services Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations for holding today's hearing to discuss the government's authority to break up financial institutions under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act.
In January 2012, Public Citizen called on the Federal Reserve and the Financial Stability Oversight Council to break up the financial behemoth Bank of America. We relied on a relatively obscure provision in the Dodd-Frank Act, Section 121, which grants financial regulators authority to mitigate the grave threat that an institution poses to U.S. financial stability. More than 30,000 people have signed our petition calling for regulators to break up the bank into pieces that are smaller, simpler and safer for market stability.
But regulators appear unwilling to use the broad authorities in their arsenal to safeguard financial stability, and the Federal Reserve Board's three-paragraph response to our detailed petition suggests that regulators may not be taking seriously their responsibilities under Dodd-Frank. As a result, too much risk remains concentrated in and between the largest financial institutions.
Issues relating to financial institutions' excessive size and complexity have not just created a "too big to fail" problem; they have metastasized into a "too big to jail" problem. Just last month, U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder admitted that some of our banks are too big to prosecute. A U.S. policy that immunizes the largest and most complex banks and their executives from criminal prosecution reinforces the notion that they pose a grave threat to the financial system and larger economy—effectively enabling them to hold regulators and prosecutors hostage. Such a notion is antithetical to market-based principles and to any reasonable sense of equal justice under law.
If financial regulators refuse to take decisive action to safeguard financial stability, then we will remain susceptible to another economic crisis. But there is still an opportunity for regulators to use their authorities under Dodd-Frank. We urge regulators to use those authorities and for Congress to continue to use its oversight authority to hold regulators and banks accountable.
We also support congressional efforts to limit the size or scope of financial institutions' activities, to increase transparency around deferred prosecution decisions that may have been based on the size of the institution, and to craft higher equity capital requirements in a way that encourages the largest institutions to restructure their businesses.

The Arizona State Sun Devils came up short in their 10-9 loss to the Arizona Wildcats Wednesday in the last installment of the Territorial Cup at ASU's Packard Stadium.
Trending in the form of a seesaw affair, the game saw six different pitchers for the Devils and seven for the Cats, with five lead changes.
Despite RJ "Clutch" Ybarra going 3-for-4 with three RBIs on the night, ASU couldn't seem to battle back late in the ninth to secure a win.
ASU's starting RHP Seth Martinez saw trouble early, giving up one run in the first inning and three in the third, but the Devils came back with three of their own via back-to-back jacks by Drew Stankiewicz and Colby Woodmansee in the third off of Arizona starting RHP Morgan Earman.
After two ASU pitching changes, Arizona plated one in the fourth on an RBI single by Kevin Newman and another in the fifth per a Scott Kingery solo-homer, his first on the year.
Starting a rally in the bottom of the fifth inning, Ybarra hit his ninth two-out RBI of the season. Jake Peevyhouse and Dalton DiNatale, who extended his hitting streak to 10 games, followed his trend with RBIs.
LHP Nick Diamond came in at the top of the sixth, but let two Wildcats cross home after a wild pitch and an overthrow by Ybarra.
The winning run came unearned in the top of the eighth inning at the hands of Willie Calhoun after Woodmansee muffed his grounder at shortstop.
Woodmansee didn't feel good about the loss, despite his homer in the third inning. "The locker room is quiet, everyone's pretty pissed off," he said after the game. "No one wants to lose to U of A at Packard."
Wednesday's game was the second of five matchups between the Devils and Cats this season, and the last Territorial Cup game to be played at Packard Stadium before the team moves over to Phoenix Municipal Stadium for the 2015 season.
"[There have been] a lot of big games, a lot of historic games against the Wildcats here in this stadium, so that'll be something special," head coach Tim Esmay said before the game. "It'll be something that we probably gotta take in and take a step away at some point during the game and just kind of embrace that this is it, this is the last thing, but then obviously move it over and bringing the series back to [Phoenix Municipal Stadium], how it used to be, is kind of exciting too."
The Sun Devils (17-13) play at home again this weekend in a three-game PAC-12 conference matchup against the California Golden Bears (14-15).

News Release: FAMU
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – Today, Florida A&M University (FAMU) alumnus John W. Thompson was appointed the independent chairman of computer software giant Microsoft Corp., replacing company founder Bill Gates.
Thompson, a 1971 graduate of the School of Business and Industry (SBI), first joined Microsoft's board of directors in February 2012, serving as a lead independent director, a role he will continue in tandem with the appointment.
"Florida A&M University celebrates this achievement with John as he continues to excel in the world of business," said FAMU Interim President Larry Robinson. "This is an excellent example of how the education our students receive at FAMU will propel them from the classroom to the boardroom and beyond."
Thompson was inducted into the FAMU SBI Hall of Fame in 2011.
"John's selection as chairman of Microsoft, one of the world's most accomplished software companies, is a testament to the preparation that students receive at FAMU," said Shawnta Friday-Stroud, dean of SBI. "He has been a major supporter of SBI through both his time and resources. We are extremely proud."
In addition to chairman of the Microsoft board, Thompson is the chief executive officer of privately held Virtual Instruments. He is the former chairman and CEO of Symantec where he served for 10 years. Previously, he held a number of leadership positions at IBM, including sales, marketing, software development and general manager of IBM Americas.
"One of my key contributions, I hope, will be to engage with shareholders and keep focus on how together we can bring great innovation to the marketplace and drive strong long term shareholder value," said Thompson in a video statement from Microsoft.
Thompson received his bachelor's degree in business administration from FAMU. He earned a master's degree in management from the Sloan Fellows program of the MIT Sloan School of Management.
According to Microsoft, Gates will assume a new role on the Board as founder and technology advisor. Thompson was named chairman of the Board and Satya Nadella was named chief executive officer, taking over for Steve Ballmer.

The older I get, the more I understand the need for flexibility — to enjoy moving around the world safely and to reduce the risk of injuries from falling. Fortunately, there are now a variety of ways to enjoy flexibility training in our area — at private fitness centers, the YMCA, and yoga studios.
Flexibility is the range of motion possible at any joint. Flexibility is specific to each joint and depends on many factors, including the tightness of ligaments and tendons. Flexibility can be improved at any age with fun activities - done at least 1 to 2 times per week. Flexibility helps prevent injuries — and puts a younger bounce in your step!
1. YOGAThis 5,000 year-old practice offers very modern benefits, especially for flexibility and stress reduction, to bodies of any age. It's best to start with a few classes from a certified yoga instructor, available through yoga centers, fitness clubs, and hospitals. Many DVDs are also available for beginners and those with special needs, such as arthritis and back problems.
2. PILATESCreated by a German gymnast about 100 years ago, Pilates is similar to yoga with a focus on breathing, core strength, and flexibility. Depending on the teacher, Pilates can be a bit more intense and faster paced than yoga. However, many classes today combine aspects of both yoga and Pilates. Always look for a certified instructor for in-person classes or on DVDs.
3. TAI CHIThis centuries old practice from China is beneficial for anyone, whether you are athletic, sedentary, elderly, or have a disability since it can be modified to individual goals. Tai chi improves balance, posture, strength, flexibility, coordination, and concentration. While DVDs and online instructions are available, tai chi is best learned from a certified instructor.
4. DANCEAll types of dance can enhance flexibility. Anything that offers safe, appropriate stretching for joint muscles, tendons, and ligaments is great for gradual improvements in flexibility. Choose the type of dance that fits your rhythm and style. Just make sure that you know the steps or learn from a certified instructor. Injuries are no fun and not good for your flexibility.
5. SWIMMINGIf you've already had some significant injuries, especially to your joints, the safest and most effective way to improve flexibility is probably in the water. Pool activities, such as water exercise or water aerobics, provide support for injured, tender, or older joints. However, a certified and experienced instructor is still important to prevent further problems.

Harvesting season worries grip Punjab leaders (Election Special)
As the election fever builds up in Punjab for the April 30 Lok Sabha polls, so is the concern among politicians about the polling date coming right in the middle of the peak wheat-crop harvesting season.
The period between April 14 and May 15 is when the maximum wheat arrival happens in a state known as the food basket of the country. Government procurement agencies do the maximum procurement of the wheat crop generally between April 25 and May 10.
"The centre and the Election Commission have not been fair to Punjab. The April 30 election date comes during the peak of the harvesting season," Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal has been telling gatherings in Punjab's rural areas, while urging farmers and their families to vote April 30.
"I think that this is a deliberate ploy. If the elections in neighbouring Haryana could be held on April 10, why are Punjab elections scheduled for April 30. I see no justification in this. Make sure that you cast your vote April 30," a visibly upset Badal tells people.
All 13 Lok Sabha seats in Punjab go to the polls April 30. The 19.5 million eligible voters will decide the fate of 253 candidates in the field.
"I don't think that much thought was given by the authorities while recommending the election date for Punjab. Farmers and their family members are busy in harvesting the crop, arranging to take it to the grain market. Even at the grain market, it can take three days or more for the procurement process to be completed. Many farmers will not be in their villages on election day," Jaswant Singh, a farmer at Sahnewal near Ludhiana, told IANS.
Even Punjab's election department is keeping its fingers crossed on the voter turnout for the April 30 polling date.
"We admit that the polling date comes in peak harvesting season. We are urging people that they must cast their vote," Punjab Chief Electoral Officer (CEO) V.K. Singh said.
Punjab, the country's green revolution state, alone contributes over 50 percent of the total food grains to the national kitty despite having just 1.54 percent of the country's geographical area. Punjab procures over 14 million tonnes of wheat during a bumper season.
Big names in the fray include Arun Jaitley (Amritsar, BJP), Amarinder Singh (Amritsar, Congress), Vinod Khanna (Gurdaspur, BJP), Pratap Singh Bajwa (Gurdaspur, Congress), union Minister Preneet Kaur (Patiala, Congress), former union minister Ambika Soni (Anandpur Sahib, Congress), leader of opposition Sunil Jakhar (Ferozepur, Congress), lawyer H.S. Phoolka (Ludhiana, AAP), comedian-actor Bhagwant Mann (Sangrur, AAP), Harsimrat Badal (Bathinda, Akali Dal) and Manpreet Badal (Bathinda, Congress-Peoples Party of Punjab).

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
Great, but Short-changed by Superintendent & School Board: The principal & teachers are superb. They listen and resolve any issues with competence. My child has learned more than I can believe. My only concern is that funding can be tight. Meanwhile, many families are from the city of Edina but not the Edina school district. They want a district boundary change so their property taxes can go to Edina schools, but people at the district level won't support the issue. The funding shortage means kids at this school need to bring many classroom supplies from home and pay out-of-pocket for all activities, field trips, special programs, etc. It's still a great school though.
This school is fabulous. The students are kind and caring, and many teachers are extremely charismatic to students and parents. A few problems that could be adjusted are cliques, pranking, minor bullying, and speaking put more during LGBTQQA month. Overall, this school is excellent, especially in education of gifted students. -A Student
The principal is creative, hard-working, innovative and an excellent listener. The teachers are some of the best. My only complaint is that there are cliques in the lunchroom. A handful of popular kids cuts in lines and excludes the majority of other students from sitting near them. It would be nice if kids sat according to the class that they just came from, or if once per week there would be a mix-it-up Monday, or something like that. Kids would verbally complain, but I think that they would feel some relief "on the inside."
you learn a lot, but many of the staff for special education were less than kind if one of the kids corrected them or didn't want to do something. instead of helping them, they would usually send them to the office for "tone of voice issues." the students are somewhat rude (like a lot of students all over), and some of the teachers are less than understanding too. I would say it was a bit overstaffed, and the teachers seem to not care about a few things.
Nothing good to say about this school at all, overstaffed and overestimated. Would never recommend this school to anyone.
This is a superb middle school. It has a pattern of innovation that is unmatched. There are many programs in place to reach students who are academically struggling, thriving, and in the middle. There is a clear passion from administration to make this a school that meets the needs of all students and teachers set clear expectations and hold students to high standards. There is a commitment to teaching students and helping them develop into the people they want to be. I really like the direction of the school and the focus the staff has on equity and excellence.
Great school. The teachers are excellent. The communication from teachers and the principal is impressive. The school is in tune with the psychological and emotional make-up of the middle grades. The school is organized and very well run, but not too controlling or harsh on kids. The class offerings are incredible.
Very Good School better than most schools ive been to and ive been to 7 different schools! although some people like taking advantage of you so you have to know how to defend yourself from others in the school otherwise its an extremely good school! i would send my kids here.
I go to school here and there is alot of spirit and everyone is very nice. Everyone participates and learning is fun.
I'm going there now and it is a very fun school! They make learning fun! :):):):)
I go to this school and I love it
Great teachers and professional staff to assist students with special needs. Excellent principal that cares about and relates with students.
An above average middle school in a district of high achieving students. The administrative leadership seems receptive towards challenging all students academically, including gifted, by allowing curriculum modifications to extend outside of grade level, and through appropriate teacher assignments and student placements. Teaching staff is young and enthusiastic, but individual teacher familiarity with implementing curriculum differentiation is still weak. Hoever, there are some really excellent, well qualified teachers on staff, who can be found by asking around among other parents. This school has strong parent involvement and support in school activites. One draw-back: the middle school is home to grades 6-9, which unfortunately, short changes the 9th graders out of a true high school freshman experience.
This is an outstanding school and school district. The saftey is great, and people really care about you.

If there is a fire, do you first put out the flames or try to find their source? Most agree in Nassau County that the current system by which property taxes are assessed and grieved is a crisis of "fire" proportions – with a quarter of a billion in taxpayer dollars wasted each year and well over $1 billion in existing debt - but officials and interest groups have begun arguing heatedly over how to fight it before the whole county goes down in the blaze.
In week three of the Village of Mineola partnering with Omni of Babylon in a 10-year garbage disposal agreement, the transition has been up and down according to the Department of Public Works. However, it's working with Omni to better the delivery of the garbage and the performance of the garbage trucks.
In case anyone was wondering about the jackhammering and cement pouring that has been going on in the plaza of the Mineola Train Station, it will all be very clear soon. Construction is under way for the revitalization of Station Plaza North.
The Board of Trustees of the Village of Mineola revealed at its May 12 meeting that it has decided to reach out to a consultant to assess the noise issues at the Verizon Plant in Garden City to come up with a solution. Lally Acoustical Consultants was contacted by the village last Wednesday.
Mayor Jack M. Martins revealed that Mineola and Garden City officials met at the Verizon plant last Wednesday to hash out the issues that have been inconveniencing the residents of 13th Avenue since last December. He also disclosed that Garden City met with the senior vice president of Verizon who is authorized to have substantive discussions regarding screening and putting sound attenuation around the objects on the roof that are making noise.
Mineola School Board Trustee Laraine Salvatore is suing the school district for legal costs she incurred to bring action against the district because it failed to defend her during a defamation lawsuit filed against her by former district superintendent Dr. Lorenzo Licopoli. Salvatore will not be running for her 2010 board position.
Nassau County District Attorney Kathleen Rice formally announced her candidacy for New York State Attorney General in a video posted on her campaign's new website at www.kathleenrice.com on Monday, May 3. A written statement to the press Monday morning reads, "In the four-and-a-half minute video, Rice, a Democrat, outlines her record as a tough, innovative, and progressive career prosecutor who vows to fight for ethics reform in Albany, improved Wall Street regulation and a renewed focus on local 'kitchen table' issues affecting communities across the state."
At a recent board of trustees meeting, the Village of Mineola approved its settlement of a lawsuit which it had brought against major oil companies for actual and potential damages to the village's water supply as a result of a gasoline additive known as M.T.B.E. (Methyl Tertiary Butyl Ether).

Special thanks goes to Gil Cunningham, George Reihl, and Robert Young of the Chrysler 300 Club International (19 Donegal Court, Ann Arbor, Ml 48104) for their invaluable assistance during the restoration. Some of the required parts needed to perform the flawless body work came from Neil Freeman (rustfree sheet metal) of Whitehall, Montana, and the high quality chrome plating work was done by Paul's Plating in Mars, Pennsylvania.
The interior and top work was handled by the Auto Top Shop in Eau Claire, Wisconsin, while Gary Schmidt of Wheeler Race Engines (Blaine, Minnesota) did the complete rebuild of the 380hp 392 Hemi 2x4 engine.
Original options of this car (base price $5,603.00) included Power Windows, Heater, Electro-Touch Radio, Shaded Solex Glass, Outside Rearview Mirror, Manual Antenna, Sure-Grip (3.31:1 ratio) Differential, and 30 amp generator.

What extra needs to happen to sync at home
Rob commented that you need to do a little extra work to sync things up once you return home. That is a good point. Any one have anythoughts on how to best synch up any changes, say to a Doc you were working on it you Documents folder.
How to avoid the extra step.
If you really intend to use this "all the time", you should just make your iPod your primary user folder. Follow the main tip for changing the location of your user folder in NetInfo Manager, just do it on your home box as well. This will mean that all your "user activity" (saving prefs, documents, etc.) will be done directly on your iPod regardless of what box it is connected to. (You can actually use this method to log in to as many different boxen as you like. Just create dummy users on each of the additional machines.)
Keep in mind that this means you will no longer be using the original user folder on your HD. You could even delete it if you like, but I recommend that you don't. Even though the data in your original user folder will get stale over time, it will still be extremely useful if you should happen to lose/break your iPod as you will be able to use it to log in. (First log in as root and redirect NetInfo back to the user folder on your HD.)
You can freshen your old user folder from time to time by dropping your active user folder in your Users folder, replacing your user folder. Note the difference between Users folder (where all the user folders are) and user folder (your individual user folder, named after you). If you are wealthy, you could buy iPods for everyone in your family and put all their user folders on them. Which reminds me...
Bonus Tip
I can't test this myself as I have no iPod, but I don't see why you would need to copy the whole Users folder, just your individual user folder. I would be more than happy to test this if someone would be good enough to send me an iPod. ;)
BTW - This topic should illustrate why you should save everything in your user folder, unless it is to be used by all users, in which case it should go in to /Users/Shared. This also makes backups a breeze. Just copy the entire Users folder. Then, if you have to build your system back up from scratch, you just reinstall the OS and applications, create your users again, (make sure you create them in the same order so they keep their uid's, which is a number used to claim a file. uid's are generally mapped to usernames for you when you ls -l or something, but the file is actually owned by 501 and not frank. If you mess this part up, you can edit uid's by hand in NetInfo Manager) and then restore your backup of your Users folder over the new Users folder, overwriting and preserving ownership/permissions.
How to avoid the extra step.
u are damn right! after understanding the osx structure there are many comfortable ways to work with your data. i partitioned my hard drive in two parts: system and hellmachine. after installing osx on system copy your Users Folder on the second partition. do the netinfo thing (changing the userpath to the second partition) and now a clean install is a breeze. just format the system partition and change the userpath after this to the second partition. after logout/login everything should be as always but with a fresh install.
What extra needs to happen to sync at home
should work with every sync utility. just let compare the two userfolders...

I usually hate hand creams. As soon as I put them on, I want to wash them off. Too slimy! But this time of year (spring and fall seem to be the worst for me), my hands are crying out for moisture. And if I don't respond, my digits revolt and leave me with haggard, ow-y cuticles. But the product gods have been kind to me and I've found a new hand cream that I am absolutely loving! It's the Perlier Papaya Pulp Soothing Hand Cream ($20).
It's indeed quite soothing, and somehow seems to dry as soon as I slick it on. I don't quite understand how it does that (maybe the silicone? any cosmetic chemists out there?) but I'm happy to be on the receiving end of this minor miracle.
PS: Like my fancy, matchy background? It's an orange file folder. Feeling very resourceful today.

New York, NY 10022
Category: Religion and Spirituality
Region: East 50s
No jazz lover should miss this no-tricks singer try her hand at a standard or three, and if the woman herself doesn't seal the deal, the backing band surely will: Tedd Firth's on piano, Bucky Pizzarelli's on guitar, Warren Vache's on cornet, and Jay Leonhart's on bass. In other words, this is top-of-the-line music-making, and in the afternoon, no less.

Union Square - 2011
Nancy Savoca's first film in nearly a decade, Union Square stars Mira Sorvino as Lucy, a hard-drinking party-girl from the Bronx who takes a trip into Manhattan to meet with her married lover, and ends up visiting her sister Jenny (Tammy Blanchard) who has cleaned up her life and is engaged to a man running a health-food business. Jenny has hid the truth about her past from her husband, he thinks she's from Maine, and Jenny wants nothing more than to get her out-of-control sister out of the apartment. Lucy, however, doesn't know how to take a hint, ends up spending the night, and soon the two are fighting about old resentments and Jenny finds she can't keep the façade going with her fiancée. Union Square played at the 2011 Toronto International Film Festival.

(Dana Mac an Ghabhann, I see.) You could say that the gore is grandfathered, but since there are no rules violations, past or present, in either design, there's no point in doing so.

Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
On game day today, thinking back on our trip to Pittsburgh a year ago for Hockey Diaries: Winter Classic 2011 and probably our favorite made-for-radio quote about skating outdoors, from then-Penguin forward Michael Rupp.
MEDIACHAMELEON: "Can you describe to someone on the radio what it feels like to skate outside, what are the sensations that are different to you? What would you say?"
RUPP: "Did you ever go swimming in the nude? It's kind of similar to that, I guess. It's (laughs) it just feels, I don't know, it feels… you just, it's just… it's freeing experience. Like you're just in there, and you got the air around you, you can see it, it just… it's a pretty cool feeling. I guess that's a bad example, but it's what I got."
For the season-long radio documentary "Hockey Diaries: Change The Game", Washington Capitals head coach Bruce Boudreau recorded a diary entry in early Dec 2010 about the emotion of trading forward Tomas Fleischmann to the Colorado Avalanche. (Fleischmann is now under contract with the Florida Panthers.)
One of the things people often ask us about the Hockey Diaries project is how much the players "like" keeping the diaries. As you would guess, it varies from player to player!
If you've had a chance to listen, you'll know that forward Matt Hendricks and goaltender Braden Holtby agreed to be the diary-keepers for the 2010-11 season. Matt will tell you straight up that he didn't love talking into the diary recorder! It wasn't for lack of enthusiasm, lack of trying, or lack of something to say. He kept it with him all season long. It was there every day on his nightstand, at home and on the road. It traveled many miles in his hockey bag. Matt's roommate on the road was defenseman Tyler Sloan, our diary-keeper for the 2009-10 season. He gave Matt pointers and encouragement, and can actually be heard in the background of some diary entries, egging him on or helping Matt finish a crossword puzzle. Matt kept at it all season, and turned in a long list of great diary entries in the end… but he says it never really came easy to him.
When we sat down to give Braden his recorder at the beginning of the season, and talk through the project, we suggested he think about his diary entries as just leaving a voicemail message for a friend. Braden spent quite a bit of time on the road last year driving between Washington and Hershey, and then driving back home to Saskatchewan at the end of the season. He recorded a bunch of diaries while he was driving, many of them quite lengthy, rolling conversations! Listening back to those diary entries was like being on the journey with him. He, too, turned in a stellar diary performance.
When we make the documentaries, we might edit some diary entries down a bit to keep them focused. Others we have to leave out all together. But as the players were generous enough to record their thoughts so honestly, we thought we'd use this space to bring you the expanded versions of some of the audio diary recordings from the latest documentary. So if you have a few minutes, here are Matt Hendricks' very first diary entries, when he was still getting used to the idea and the recorder. And a long diary entry from Braden Holtby, recorded later in the season in Hershey, when he was resting an injury, and spending time alone at home while his teammates were on the road.
