'The Adventures of Tom Sawyer - A New Musical' presented by Random Farms Kids' Theater Workshop - Yorktown Stage
March 18, 2013 - Yorktown Heights
Random Farms Workshop performers (grades 3-8) present this family musical adapted from Mark Twain's beloved novel, and specially commissioned by The Random Farms Kids' Theater. In the story, Tom meets and falls in love with Becky Thatcher. However, Becky's father, Judge Thatcher, does not approve of Becky fraternizing with a mischievous boy like Tom. Tom prevails when he secretly takes Becky's punishment for her after she spills ink on the schoolmaster's prized book of verses. Then, he returns home from a pirate adventure, unwittingly returning a stolen treasure to its rightful owner. Memorable scenes from the classic book appear in this musical: Tom incurring Aunt Polly's wrath, whitewashing the fence, pirating on Pirate Island, getting engaged to Becky Thatcher, and dedicating himself to adventures with Huck Finn. Tickets are sold at the door on the day of the performance (cash only).

The Panoramic River: the Hudson and the Thames - Hudson River Museum
Through May 19, 2013 - Yonkers
In the late 18th century, British artists developed the large-scale panorama, which became a popular form of entertainment in Europe and the United States. The Hudson River Museum's exhibition, "The Panoramic River: the Hudson and the Thames," explores the panoramic vista as the ideal expression for a new, all-embracing way of seeing the landscape that influenced how the public and artists perceived it as well. By the early 19th century, painters such as Robert Havell Jr. worked to express this panoramic perspective in their choice and depiction of vistas. Havell and other artists in the exhibition such as Thomas Cole, Jasper Cropsey, and John Kensett, favored the chain of cities, suburbs, and countryside along these two rivers, where horizontal planes and historical associations gave form to both artistic and cultural expression.
"The Panoramic River" features loans from museums, galleries, and private collections. Museums lending paintings include: Baltimore Museum of Art; Museum of Fine Arts, Boston; Fenimore Art Museum, The Frances Lehman Loeb Art Center at Vassar College; Maryland State Archives; Metropolitan Museum of Art; The New-York Historical Society; and Princeton University Art Museum.
"The Panoramic River" is organized by Hudson River Museum co-curators Bartholomew Bland, Director of Curatorial Affairs, and Laura Vookles, Chief Curator of Collections. The exhibition is accompanied by a fully illustrated catalogue with additional essays by Pat Hardy, Curator of Paintings, Prints and Drawings, Museum of London, and Geoff Snell, Doctoral Student, University of Sussex and the National Maritime Museum, Greenwich, England.
The exhibition and the accompanying catalogue have been made possible by a generous grant from the Mr. and Mrs. Raymond J. Horowitz Foundation for the Arts, Inc. On view through May 19, 2013.

Patriot's Paradise
Part 2: Hope and freedom are pretty much all the 125 or so souls aboard the Mayflower had when she landed at Plymouth Rock.
Story and Photography by Kim Kavin
Hope and freedom. Terror and justice. The American spirit. They have been embodied in Massachusetts for centuries, and aboard this yacht, they come alive on a fascinating charter of discovery.
Hope and freedom are pretty much all the 125 or so souls aboard the Mayflower had when she landed at Plymouth Rock. That's right, a hundred people more than Sovereign carries, all crammed into a wooden hull just 24 feet longer. The crush of humanity is staggering—and easily imagined with a historic replica docked across the harbor from the modern beauty.
The full-scale Mayflower II is a living history exhibit where workers present themselves as characters. You can ask them about the way the ship is run, life in the England they fled, their two-month Atlantic crossing. "I was casting out my belly at all times," a woman in a thick wool skirt explained under the hot July sun. She told me they had all expected to die. I asked her why she got aboard in the first place. "Mistress," she replied, "God did truly call us to come across the sea."
Talk about a great way to start a charter through history—and a terrific lead-in to an afternoon at nearby Plimoth Plantation, also a living history experience. There, I watched an "English settler" tell a teenager in Nikes what the village does to those who challenge its rules. "'Twas in the spring of last year that they were banished," he said with great fanfare. The boy was rapt beyond his history teacher's dreams. Nearby, in a replica of a Wampanoag village, a Native American man quietly explained how women work in the fields instead of men. "Women are considered life-givers here," he said. "They plant the corn. They sing to it. It's a living, breathing thing."
The contrast in cultures is vivid, and it's easy to see why a clash was imminent. It's also easy to see how what happened later that century, just up the coast in Salem, exploded from within the Puritan culture.
Terror and justice are the themes at the Salem Witch Museum, which recounts the hysteria that overtook the village in 1692 and resulted in 20 deaths. All but one person was hanged; 80-year-old Giles Cory refused to plead guilty or innocent, so he was pressed to death beneath boulders meant to purge a confession of witchcraft.
Salem nowadays is full of "witch kitch"—haunted houses, wax museums, and spooky shops—but the memory of what happened is startling in the context of our worldwide hunt for terrorists today. There were good people in Salem and there were evil-doers. The former took on faith that the latter were getting what they deserved, even when there wasn't any evidence beyond the circumstantial.

Deep within the coastal lowlands of Ecuador, Dave Owens recently discovered just the right beans for his next unique Bissinger's confection. As chief chocolatier, Owens helps keep the renowned St. Louis-based company's roots in the past, with an eye toward the future.
This holiday season, Bissinger's, which originated in 17th-century France, is celebrating its 85th anniversary in St. Louis. And the history of Bissinger's is as rich as the chocolate itself, notes company president Ken Kellerhals. "We are grateful to be here carrying on the legacy that started in Paris centuries ago," he says. "Bissinger's remains committed to the high standards, heritage and the passionate attention to detail that goes into every piece we craft."
While Bissinger's continues to offer its hand-crafted classics, such as nut balls and milk chocolate bear claws; and traditional holiday favorites, including 3-pound chocolate Santa centerpieces, premium peppermint bark and chocolate-covered, hand-decorated Christmas cookies, it also has created a record number of new sweet treats during the past year, according to Owens.
A chef of 30 years who also has spent time at the helm of Cardwell's at the Plaza, Owens has a deep understanding of all things Bissinger's—from its celebrated legacy and loyal lifelong customers to its acclaimed confections. You can't buy a legacy, or create a nationwide audience overnight, he notes. "We're still always working toward being the best European-style chocolate company in the country," he says, adding that Bissinger's is part of family traditions across the nation.
While it has three shop locations—two in St. Louis and one in Edina, Minn.—Bissinger's can be found across the country in specialty and upscale grocers like Straub's and Whole Foods Market, as well as high-end retailers such as Neiman Marcus. And Owens boasts that Oprah Winfrey, Emeril Lagasse and Lauren Bacall are fans. "Wherever you are, without fail, you will meet a loyal Bissinger's customer. Whether they grew up with it or received it as a holiday gift, they will always enjoy it."
Bissinger's creative chocolate-making takes place in the company's St. Louis kitchen. Confection centers like caramel and toffee are enrobed in chocolate. Finally, the handcrafted creations are packaged into those classic signature Bissinger's boxes. And while Bissinger's European-style chocolate (sourced from the Ivory Coast) remains the same, Owens is experimenting with beans he recently found in Ecuador to extend one of the company's unique new lines—Rainforest Alliance Bars—which are currently available in coconut caramel, coffee toffee, and assorted milk and dark chocolates. "We are incorporating a lot of contemporary flavors without forgetting our rich chocolate-making history," Owens notes. And as far as new confection creations go, Owens says the sky is the limit. "We are constantly exploring unique and innovative flavor combinations. There's always something in the pipeline."
As Bissinger's celebrates its 85th anniversary, the nationally popular St. Louis-based handmade chocolatier remains true to its confection roots while still making new creations for the future. For more information, call 534-2401 or visit bissingers.com.

MiraCosta College President Francisco Rodriguez will give up a 1 percent increase in his salary — and refund it for the past three years — after The Watchdog reported that the increase may not have been approved properly.
Rodriguez got the raise in July 2009, increasing his base annual pay to $258,800 from the $256,200 he started at four months earlier. Over three and a half years, the total earned through the raise is about $9,000, plus increases in benefits tied to the salary.
Rodriguez said he will return the money as a "gesture of good faith and good will to the organization."
"There's enough ambiguity in the contract that there are larger issues that the organization needs to address, and this is not something that should require time and attention," Rodriguez said. "We have bigger, more important issues to focus in on, particularly the success of our students."
Rodriguez's salary increase was never spelled out on a board agenda in a public session.
Board member Ron Ruud told The Watchdog this week that state law required public notice that did not occur and the board did not know the raise was given to Rodriguez until years later.
The administration said Rodriguez's salary was tied to that of faculty members, who got a 1 percent cost-of-living adjustment at that time. Board documents at the time show specific board approval for other administrators — not for Rodriguez.
Also, Rodriguez's contract said his starting pay would stay in effect through June 2010.
The board discussed the matter Tuesday in a closed session and announced no action afterward under state open meetings laws.
After the board's open session, Rodriguez told The Watchdog that he is giving up the raise of his own accord. Board President David Broad praised Rodriguez's decision.
"I think it was a very magnanimous gesture on his part, to voluntarily do that," Broad said. "I don't want to comment anymore. This is a personnel, salary issue."
Rodriguez declined to discuss how he ended up receiving the raise or whether it was proper.
"I think we're beyond that. I really do," Rodriguez said. "There was considerable ambiguity, there were lots of things going on. The important part, I think here, is voluntarily doing the right thing, and I believe that is the most important thing here."
Rodriguez said he was prepared to return the funds before The Watchdog's Tuesday article on the raise. He noted that the board decided to investigate the raise and get a legal opinion on what to do about it before addressing it.
"We discovered this matter a few months ago and we delayed this matter until this time period," Rodriguez said. "The timing was as expected."
The Watchdog discovered the raise issue in reporting on pay across the county for community college district leaders. When including all compensation, Rodriguez is the top-paid community college district chief in the county, even though MiraCosta is the smallest of the districts.
His total compensation in 2012 was $314,574, including $19,500 in cellphone, car and business expense allowances, $18,114 in pension contributions and $18,189 in health insurance premiums.Copyright © 2017, The San Diego Union-Tribune

RENEWED calls have been made for improved road safety measures and a bypass in Rillington, which has been in talks with authorities for years.
Villagers living along the A64 fear that a fatal accident will occur before something is done and have called once again for the authorities to look at plans and act before someone is injured.
Colin Wicks, 80, who has lived in Rillington for 51 years is particularly concerned about children from the nearby school using the main crossing through Rillington when heavy goods vehicles are turning.
He said: "The lorry's turn whilst the light is green but then it goes red and the green man comes on but it's already moving around because it can't see the lights.
"I have seen no end of people step out in to the road. We haven't had an accident yet thankfully. It is sad that we have got to have something serious happen for someone to sit up and take notice.
"This has been going on since the 1970's and it is very irritating."
In 2000 the Highways Agency were given approval to develop a bypass through the village and an exhibition was held later in the year to show the proposed options for the plans. However in July 2006 the Government accepted recommendations from the interim Regional Transport Board for Yorkshire and Humberside which did not identify the scheme as a funding priority during the period of up to 2016.
A further blow was dealt to the residents of Rillington back in May 2012 when the bypass scheme was not selected as part of government schemes which would be developed to enable potential construction in the next Spending Review. According to the Highways Agency the plans are currently on hold.
Yet despite stalling from the authorities, Mr Wicks believes that the bypass and improved traffic measures would improve quality of life in the village.
He said: "It would make life nicer, quieter and much cleaner with no pollution. It would make a better community if we were to get it and then people would want to come in to Rillington."
A spokesperson for Rillington Parish Council said that they were still in full support of the bypass.
The spokesperson said: "The parish council feels that a by-pass is essential and urgently required. The sooner a bypass is built the better as residents have already waited far too long for this essential safety improvement.
"A bypass for Rillington is long overdue and we fully support residents in their campaign to bring this issue to the attention of the Government. The A64 is a very busy road and gets considerably worse during holiday periods
"There have been a number of traffic accidents in Rillington over the years with residents concerned that it is only a matter of time before a fatal accident occurs."
MP for Thirsk, Malton and Filey Anne McIntosh was meeting with the new roads Minister John Haynes MP in the Department of Transport yesterday (Tuesday) afternoon to discuss the issue.
She said: "This is a wonderful opportunity to really make the case of improving the major road artery, which is the power house of economic growth in a rural community such as North Yorkshire."

jeffkibuule - Thursday, June 06, 2013 - linkIt's good to see that high DPI displays won't just be limited to Apple products! And breaking the 1080p barrier too! Reply
MonkeyPaw - Thursday, June 06, 2013 - linkHigh density displays are common for Android. It's the Windows tabs that suffer. Some of that is Clovertrail's fault, since the integrated GPU is pretty sad. There could be some desktop scaling issues at play as well. If we could just see better adoption of Modern, I think we'd see a high DPI breakthrough on all Windows tabs.
I'm pretty sure out next PC will be a dockable tablet running either a low voltage AMD or late model Atom CPU. Reply
Gigaplex - Thursday, June 06, 2013 - linkThe Modern UI DPI scaling isn't much better. Reply
kyuu - Friday, June 07, 2013 - linkI've heard it is much better. Reply
inighthawki - Friday, June 07, 2013 - linkMetro is much better and is completely high dpi aware. It is only legacy desktops apps that do not have proper support. Reply
B3an - Friday, June 07, 2013 - linkComplete BS. I've used Metro at 720p to way over 2560x1600 and much higher, and it scales perfectly on everything. Reply
DanNeely - Friday, June 07, 2013 - link2560x1440 is large enough for 2:1 integral scaling (to 1280x720) which should allow non hDPI applications to be scaled with fewer artifacts than with various non-integral scaling options. Reply
zeo - Friday, June 07, 2013 - linkHigh density displays are only common on the high end and certain name brand Android devices and they don't make up the majority of the Android market!
One reason is because very high PPI increases power consumption considerably. The screen alone increased power consumption by 30% for the 3rd gen iPad for example.
While the other reasons is much higher resolution also puts a much higher load on the system for both CPU and GPU and until recently most ARM devices didn't provide much performance at all.
The latest Cortex A15 SoCs are only rivaling Intel ATOM performance and that's still very low on the PC performance scale!
Devices like the iPad only get away with it because they managed to put in a 50% larger battery and increased the GPU performance with a quad configuration but even then performance doesn't exceed the graphical performance of even a low end AMD APU like the Hondo Z-60...
While for PC's the reasons are because the desktop still doesn't scale well and because on PC's you'll be running far more powerful programs and at higher resolutions you need even greater performance in order to run things like modern games at good enough fps...
Mind that iGPU's are still at best only at the level of a entry level discrete graphic card, with options like the Haswell Iris Pro pushing that maybe to mid range. While you'll need high end discrete graphic card performance to really support gaming on those high resolution displays!
Never mind how all that performance will just kill battery life... So I wouldn't suggest they push it this early... Reply
kiotu - Sunday, June 30, 2013 - linkInteresting point, but how come windows tab performance flaw has something to do with Clovertrail? Windows 8 RT tabs generally powered by nvidia tegra3, and the Windows 8 pro tabs are by intel Core series which I think is a powerhouse for any tablet in comparison. Care to elaborate? Reply
hackbod - Thursday, June 06, 2013 - linkFyi Android introduced higher density displays well before iOS -- Droid was the first one, running Android 2.0, and came out a bit less than a year before the first iPhone with a retina display. :) Reply
Alexvrb - Saturday, June 08, 2013 - linkMy dad had an original Droid. It was a real pile. You can have a lot of pixels, but you'd better be able to drive them. It was slow as crap, and buggy as hell. After 2.2 it was a lot more stable and reliable, but it was EVEN SLOWER than the older releases on that anemic chip. So it was slow and buggy or really slow and not so buggy.
The Galaxy Nexus he replaced it with is much better. It's showing its age though, but it's getting replaced soon. Reply
MrSpadge - Friday, June 07, 2013 - linkWhat kind of "barrier" is 1080p at 10"?! Reply
HisDivineOrder - Thursday, June 06, 2013 - linkSince Haswell is so focused on power-sipping and device life, I really think Bay Trail is the one to be more interested in since it's a quantum leap from Atom to anything modern-ish. Reply
DTK - Thursday, June 06, 2013 - linkIs that a USB3 port I see? are we finally going to see decent NAND in these things to make use of it? Reply
hypopraxia - Friday, June 07, 2013 - linkUSB3? Fourth to last image shows a weird connector and (what I find to be much more interesting) a thunderbolt connector. External display, external GPU (thanks SilverStone), external storage, docking station, etc. Hmm...methinks I like this mobility focused Intel. Reply
sphix - Friday, June 07, 2013 - linkThat is indeed a micro USB 3.0 port. Snapdragon 800 also has confirmed USB 3.0 support. Reply
sphix - Friday, June 07, 2013 - linkAre you sure that's a thunderbolt connector and not a displayport connector? Reply
hypopraxia - Friday, June 07, 2013 - linkIt's Intel, of course it's a TB port. BTW, it's the same connector for TB and DP. Reply
Penti - Friday, June 07, 2013 - linkOf course not, Bay Trail-T probably doesn't have much in terms of PCIe lanes or rather none at all M version does have a few lanes. I.e. 4 lanes PCIe 2.0 which is needed by other controllers than the TB-controller that consumes x4. It does have DP in all it's variants though. Reply
zeo - Friday, June 07, 2013 - linkBay Trail does have USB 3.0 support, while for storage drive it'll depend on what you consider decent.
The Tablet version will still use eMMC but it'll at least be the more up to date version that supports the 4.5 specification that's a bit faster than what has been available up till now.
It'll also use the better LP-DDR3-1066 RAM instead of the LP-DDR2-800 RAM that Clover Trail used.
While, the Bay Trail-M range adds SATA II support and switches RAM support to DDR3L-1066...
And finally, Bay Trail-D range increase the max number of cores to eight and max RAM speed to 1333, but lowers the number of support power states from C7 to just two but this version is meant for desktops and servers...
Incidentally, Intel will be selling the Bay Trail-M under the Celeron branding! Reply
kyuu - Friday, June 07, 2013 - link"If Intel's reference design uses a 2560 x 1440 panel, it's safe to say that at least some of its customers will do the same."
Is it? I wouldn't think OEMs would give a rat's arse what Intel does with their reference tablet. Reply
haukionkannel - Friday, June 07, 2013 - linkIt is something to compare with... Thre will be some with terrible panlel at low resolution, but it is guiet likely that there will some really good ones too. Just like ultrabook is not for everyone, but it gives some parameters that are guidelines. Those 300$ tablets are definitely not using a screen like this, but higher end version difinitely want to have more pixels just for advertisement purpose. The best thing is that bay trail can support resolutions like this! Reply
TheJian - Saturday, June 08, 2013 - linkIt's a total bummer they are going above 1080p. How slow do you want my games to run? Useless for all but app stuff, just like my dad's nexus 10 comes up short usually. I wish they would stop trying to dwarf my desktop with a SOC. I will be able to see 1440p on a 27/30in monitor, but what the heck do I need this for on a 10in screen? You are just slowing down my fun until at best 14nm socs. I'd rather have 1080p and far more graphical affects in the games (not that baytrail can even handle 1080p great...We'll see). Reply
zeo - Sunday, June 09, 2013 - linkWe'll, you can always set the game to a lower resolution!
You don't have to play most games at native resolution and it should still look good on most screens, especially the smaller ones...
As for 1080P... Intel actually demoed Bay Trail system running Torchlight 2 at 1080P and running smoothly!
So you can expect to at least be able to run games at that range and maybe a few higher up at lowest settings... Reply
albruni - Wednesday, July 17, 2013 - linkwhat is the brand name and what is the model of this bay trail based tablet. Reply

ST. CLAIRSVILLE, Ohio (AP) -- Friends of coal are certain they know the enemy.
They fault President Barack Obama and his Environmental Protection Agency for new clean air rules they deride as a devastating blow to a multibillion-dollar industry, the lifeblood of Appalachia for generations.
The agency standards imposed earlier this year tightened limits on existing coal powered-plant emissions. Guidelines on restricting greenhouse gases could affect new plants as early as 2013.
Obama's moves on clean air and fossil fuels have complicated the lives of Democrats in coal-rich states that count on mining for jobs and economic growth. This election year, incumbents and candidates are adopting drastically different strategies to ensure their own political survival.

Lee County Seeks Early Childhood Certification- NEMS Daily Journal
The county became an Excel By 5 candidate community after its application was accepted by the organization. Excel By 5 is a Mississippi-only organization that provides guidelines for communities to support children from birth to age 5 and ensure they are eventually prepared to start kindergarten.
Those that meet the guidelines are officially recognized as early-childhood certified communities.
The certification process generally takes two to three years. To reach that point, Lee County must meet several requirements. The first step will be for focus groups to conduct surveys of parents, educators and health care officials to determine the county's needs. The group then will host a town hall meeting to discuss those needs and seek solutions.
Lee County's Excel By 5 coalition must also compile a manual of all resources available to children under age 5, must furnish an educational resource center for them and must host an annual health fair for them. A percentage of child care workers throughout the county will need to seek specific certifications. The group must also facilitate regular meetings between representatives from Head Start, child care centers and the K-12 community.
"Our first official order of business will be to do a needs assessment of what resources are available and what is needed," said Beverly Williams, who will serve as Lee County's certification manager.
Lee County's efforts began with a meeting in March, and the group has had several follow-up meetings leading up to submitting its application at the end of August.
"They have far exceeded anyone's expectations as far as getting to the point of applying," said Gabrielle Phillips, site coordinator with Excel By 5's state office. "They have taken a surgical approach with so many meetings, and had all of their ducks in a row when they applied."
Lee County joins 17 other candidate communities, including Lafayette County, New Albany-Union County and Corinth-Alcorn County. Eight communities are certified, including West Point and Oktibbeha County. Monroe County is no longer participating.

Medical Definition of Red blood cell
Red blood cell: The blood cell that carries oxygen. Red cells contain hemoglobin and it is the hemoglobin which permits them to transport oxygen (and carbon dioxide). Hemoglobin, aside from being a transport molecule, is a pigment. It gives the cell its red color (and name).
The mature red blood cell (RBC) is a non-nucleated biconcave disk. Thanks to this unusual shape and its hemoglobin content, the RBC is superbly suited to the transport of oxygen.
A red blood cell is sometimes simply referred to as a red cell. It is also called an erythrocyte or, rarely today, a red blood corpuscle.

Offense erupts with five homers, 22 hits in rout
Carter connects twice, Altuve finishes triple shy of cycle
SEATTLE -- They talked about sticking to the approach, they talked about becoming more selectively aggressive, and they talked about not letting the frustrations mount. The Astros quit talking Tuesday night and started hitting.
The Astros did their best to erase a week's worth of offensive frustration by exploding against the Mariners, scoring six runs in the first inning and building a 10-run cushion by the third to cruise to a 16-9 win at Safeco Field to snap their six-game losing streak.
The Astros' 22 hits tied for the sixth most in club history. It's the most runs and hits for the Astros since an 18-4 win over St. Louis on Aug. 3, 2010.
"It was only a matter of time," said Bo Porter, who earned his first road win as a manager. "We've had confidence the whole time they can hit. It was unfortunate the games prior to tonight that we had not hit, but it was good to see."
Houston, which scored only nine runs during its six-game skid, had matched that total by the second inning and nearly matched its run total (17) from the first seven games of season.
"We're going to take this day like a wake-up day," said Astros second baseman Jose Altuve, who went 4-for-6 with a homer and set a career high with four RBIs.
The Astros walloped five homers, with Chris Carter hitting two in his first career multi-homer game, and J.D. Martinez, Marwin Gonzalez and Altuve also hitting their first of the season.
"Hopefully this keeps rolling for us and we keep on winning," Carter said.
Porter never flinched during the Astros' early woes, saying he knew his club was due for a breakout performance.
"Like I told you guys the whole time, I was never really concerned," he said. "It's a long baseball season. I've been in this game a long time. I've played, I've coached, and you can never get alarmed in any stretch. As well as we played tonight, tomorrow we have to come back and it's a new ballgame."
Astros starter Erik Bedard, making his first start for Houston and first appearance at Safeco Field since pitching for the Mariners from 2008-11, threw four scoreless innings, allowing one hit. He left with a 13-0 lead but didn't go deep enough to qualify for the win after hitting his pitch limit.
"I don't change anything," said Bedard, who threw 66 pitches. "I throw like it was a 0-0 game and you can't let the score do too much to the way you want to throw. You keep battling, you keep throwing strikes and the rest will take care of itself."
The Astros sent 11 batters to the plate in the first and bashed out six hits and seven runs to chase starter Brandon Maurer (0-2) after two-thirds of an inning. Carlos Pena's bases-loaded double scored a pair to get the offense going. Martinez and Matt Dominguez added RBI singles, and Altuve's two-run double made it 6-0.
"It's a tough game," Seattle manager Eric Wedge said. "I just told him to keep his head up when he was walking off the field. It's the big leagues and sometimes it doesn't matter what you do.
Carter cranked a homer in the second off reliever Kameron Loe, and Martinez hit a two-run homer to left-center moments later to push the lead to 9-0. Loe gave up a third homer, a solo shot by Gonzalez in the third that made it 10-0.
"They did a good job managing their at-bats and keeping the line moving," Porter said. "Even before we got the home runs, it was singles, doubles, line drives. It was what we talk about all the time, keep the line moving and make the pitcher work, and those guys did a tremendous job of that."
Martinez had been removed from the game a night earlier for his approach during an at-bat in the fourth inning, but Porter put him back in the lineup Tuesday and it paid off. The homer was Martinez's first since July 4, 2012, a span of 141 at-bats.
"You could feel that tension and anxiety that was built up, and once you let that go ..." Martinez said. "I felt like right away, in the first inning, we got guys on base and we got some big hits and we got it going right there. Everybody felt that relief, like, 'OK, all the pressure's not on me now. We got a lead and let's just hit.' You felt that in the dugout."
Altuve launched a two-run homer in the fourth to push the lead to 13-0, matching a career high with four hits. Seattle pushed across a couple of runs in the fifth on a pair of sacrifice flies off Paul Clemens, who worked four innings -- allowing three solo homers -- in his Major League debut and got the win -- and a shaving-cream pie in the face.
"It was an adrenaline rush," Clemens said. "It was an unbelievable feeling. It was a dream come true and that was the most important thing. My teammates were all in my corner, and it was an exciting time."

Fatheads do not like textured or bumpy surfaces. When we say you should put it on an interior surface, we don't recommend putting it in your garage unless you have one of those fancy, finished, heated garages. Fatheads don't like the cold, but who would want to leave their poor Fathead in the cold anyway? Lastly, you don't want your Fathead to stick to itself, let's just put it this way, your Fathead will not let go without a fight. The best way to prevent this is to grab a friend or two and have them help you put up your Fathead. Then you get to show it off that much sooner.

Padres' win streak is halted in Chicago
Alonso plates two in San Diego's first loss in five games
CHICAGO -- In a tightly contested game pitting two teams who, on paper, were as similar as could be, the Padres got a taste of what can win a ballgame on Monday night before minutes later reeling from what can tip it in the other direction.
Just two innings after Yonder Alonso drove in the tying runs in a two-run fifth, the first baseman was called out by third-base umpire Dan Iassogna for a checked swing with the bases loaded and one out. It would prove to be just one of a handful of missed opportunities in a 5-3 series-opening loss to the Cubs at Wrigley Field that snapped the Padres' longest winning streak of the season at four games.
"We couldn't get the hit," manager Bud Black said before listing off a slew of other opportunities in which the Padres left men in scoring position. "We just couldn't get the big knock. We got ourselves in position, we drew some walks, we got some hits, we put stress on them. We didn't get the hit."
San Diego went 1-for-10 with runners in scoring position and stranded 11 men on base. They left two in the eighth and were retired in order in the ninth, but it was with one out and bases loaded in the seventh when opportunity really snuck by.
Cubs reliever Shawn Camp gave up two singles and a walk before lefty James Russell entered to face Alonso, who had tied the game at 3 in the fifth with a two-out, two-run bloop single to left field.
Four of the five pitches Russell threw to Alonso were sliders, and the fourth caused him to offer. Iassogna ruled that Alonso did not check his swing, and Black was visibly upset in the visiting dugout.
"It is what it is. I'm not gonna sit here and cry over it or whatever," Alonso said. "I had two other pitches to hit and should have executed it before. That's all there is to it."
Said Black: "From the first-base dugout, left-handed hitter, it's really hard to tell. But that was a critical play for us. One out, bases loaded, middle of the order bat. I couldn't tell."
The Cubs threw four relievers at the Padres, and despite four hits in the final three innings, San Diego did not score.
"For whatever reason, guys are getting the job done and getting big outs when we have to get outs," Cubs manager Dale Sveum said. "That's the key is making pitches when you need to."
All five Cubs runs were charged to Padres starter Clayton Richard, who remains winless on the year with a 7.94 ERA. He allowed five runs in 5 2/3 innings, including back-to-back home runs in the second to former Padres Scott Hairston and Cody Ransom. It was just the second time this year the Cubs have hit back-to-back homers, but it's happened in consecutive home games.
San Diego scored first when Everth Cabrera walked to lead off the game and scored on a Jeff Samardzija wild pitch, but after the home runs and a fourth-inning Darwin Barney RBI double, Chicago had a 3-1 lead. Alonso's RBI knock tied it in the fifth, but Richard surrendered two more in the sixth. Ransom and Barney again were the culprits. They combined to go 4-for-7 with two runs, two doubles and four RBIs.
"Unfortunately, I fell behind guys at the wrong time and, in that last inning, I just left a pitch up," Richard said. "It stings."

SAINT LEO, Fla. - The Saint Leo women's lacrosse team won their third straight game, defeating Erskine College 10-8 on Thursday evening at Univerity Field. Setting a new program best for consecutive wins, the Lions came out on top thanks to a total team effort and smart play, advancing their overall record to 4-6 on the season. The Flying Fleet, in their fourth season as an NCAA program, drops to 2-8 on the season.
A balanced attack helped the Lions defeat their South Region opponent, led by Stephanie Marran with a game high five points as she tallied three goals and two assists on the evening. Alix Murray netted four points with a hat trick and an assist, followed by Joanna Chadwick with two goals of her own. Alyssa Viscomi and Ashlea Mann netted one goal each to complete the Lions' attacking efforts.
A spry and steadfast midfield unit helped Saint Leo put pressure on the Flying Fleet in all areas of the field. A staunch defensive squad that saw efforts from the entire team held Erskine to just 21 shots and 17 shots on frame. Brittany Millsap, who saw an entire 60 minutes between the pipes for the Lions, set aside nine shots while allowing just eight goals.
The Flying Fleet was led by Samantha Burns, who earned a team best four points with three goals and one assist. In cage, Kaitlyn Overley made 11 saves as she faced 29 shots, 21 of which were on target, from the Lions.
Erskine pulled out to a 1-0 lead three minutes into the game, but Marran put the Lions on the scoreboard on a free position shot at the 20:13 mark to set the score at 1-1. The ensuing 10 minutes remained scoreless for both teams, but a goal from Erskine's Alesia Jerrells snapped the drought and put the Flying Fleet up 2-1.
Murray netted two straight to give the Lions the lead with 4:11 before the half, and a free position goal from Mann at the 2:48 mark gave the Lions a 4-2 advantage at the half.
Marran opened the second stanza with a goal just 33 seconds in to pull the Green and Gold to a 5-2 lead, but the Flying Fleet jetted ahead and rattled off three straight over four minutes to knot the score at 5-5 with 24:23 on the clock.
Murray, Chadwick, and Marran each scored to give the Lions a three goal cushion with 12:30 remaining in the game, but a goal from Burns broke the streak to pull Erskine back to within two, 8-6, with 7:34 left on the clock. Both sides traded blows over the final seven minutes, scoring two goals apiece to close out the game with 10-8 on the scoreboard in the Lions' favor.
Saint Leo led the shot count, 29-21, and came out on top in the ground ball battle, 24-19 thanks to Chadwick, Marran, and Christina Minneci with four apiece. Viscomi, and Murray were close behind on the ground ball count with three each. The Lions drew even with Erskine on the draw, winning 10-of-20 led Marran with five, and Minneci came with three.
The Saint Leo women's lacrosse team returns to action on Wednesday, March 28, when they host fourth-ranked Rollins College. Game time against the Tars is slated for 7:30 p.m. at University Field.

BLACKBURN College welcomed car dealers, governers and building workers to a 'ground breaking' event to officially launch the construction of its new £5.5m Motor Vehicle Centre.
The two-storey state of the art motor vehicle building in Fielding Street will consist of five classrooms, two computer labs, a MOT lane, a diagnostic lab and a refinishing centre.
The college and building contractors Bardsley Construction have worked closely with car dealerships in the hopes of creating a centre that will give students a well rounded education about the whole of the motor industry, rather than just focusing on the basics of car repair.
Chris Wright, director of Vocational Curriculum at Blackburn College - who will be heading up the running of the new centre, said: "We are really excited to get our first cohort of students in during September this year.
"Working with local dealers has meant that we gained the best understanding of what the employers in the industry are looking for and we feel confident that the new centre will provide them with a well rounded knowledge of the motor vehicle industry.
"We know that whatever you would see in a high-tech Audi garage, for instance, students will be able to see and work with here."
The news comes as the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT) said that car sales recorded in the UK in 2013 was the best year since 2007.
The Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT) said that 2.26 million vehicles were registered in 2013 - a 10.8 per cent increase on 2012.
Andrew Turner, managing director of Chorley Nissan, said: "The motor industry is really driving the economy in the UK and there are jobs to be filled.
"We regularly take on apprentices and find that there are gaps in their industry knowledge and this new centre will address that.
"It's been a pleasure to work alongside the college and we are looking forward to the future."

SAINT LEO, Fla. – Behind a team-leading 15 points from Chelsea Williams, the Saint Leo women's basketball team (1-0) upended the University of West Florida Argonauts (0-1), 63-56, in the 2011 regular season home-opener, Friday evening from the Marion Bowman Activities Center.
The non-conference showdown saw three Lions pour in double digit points, in addition to a team-best 12 rebounds from Keishara Green. Despite 24 turnovers, the Lions used superb shooting to outscore the Argonauts in each half.
The Lions jumped out to a quick 4-0 lead behind the inside play of Williams, as she connected on back-to-back layups. Still, West Florida found their offensive touch shortly after and soon grew a seven-point advantage, 26-19, with 3:53 to play in the opening session.
Kinnara Lewis' three-point basket seconds later spearheaded a 7-0 run by the Lions, tying the game at 26 with 2:02 to play. After allowing West Florida to regrow its lead to four, Saint Leo finished its opening 20 minutes with consecutive baskets, including a three-pointer by Asia Wilson with five seconds left to gain a 31-30 lead.
The second half saw the Lions pound the paint as 16 of their 32 second half points came from the lane. Saint Leo triggered the scoreboard repeatedly in the opening moments of the second period as they tallied 11 of the first 17 points to gain a seven-point, 42-35, lead.
Saint Leo refused to relinquish the lead over the remaining 16 minutes. West Florida chopped the lead to two, 44-42, with 9:03 to play, but a Shalisa Hill jumper ignited the Lions to a 9-2 run to solidify the game. Leading rebounder, Green, closed the Lions' victory out from the free throw line.
Hanna Vette led West Florida with 17 points and four rebounds.
For the game, the Lions shot 47.1 percent from the floor. Defensively, however, the Argos posted 16 steals. Still, it was the Lions who held the visiting Argonauts to just 13 free throw attempts for the game. Saint Leo also out-muscled the Argonauts, outscoring them in the paint, 32-20.
The Lions will return to the hardwood again on Saturday, November 19, when the Blazers of Valdosta State will enter the Bowman Center doors for a non-conference slate. Tip-off is set for 2 p.m. For the latest news, information, and updates on the women's basketball team, visit SaintLeoLions.com.

Bob's Back! More Q & Aby Bob Tuschman in View All Posts, December 3rd, 2008
Which chefs shoot in their real kitchens?
Talk about kitchen envy. Ina now shoots in her elegantly welcoming kitchen on her property in East Hampton, New York. I keep hoping she'll adopt me. Paula also shoots in her gorgeous and gracious home in Savannah. The Neelys have just begun to shoot in their brand new home in Memphis.
Bobby, Giada, Ingrid, and Aaron shoot in real homes, but not theirs, either because their kitchen wasn't quite right to shoot in, or they preferred not to. Believe me, I wouldn't want hundreds of pounds of equipment and dozens of crew members tearing up my kitchen either.
Tyler shoots in a studio kitchen that was designed to resemble the kitchen he had at his NYC apartment, before he moved to California. Giada now shoots in a studio in Los Angeles on a set that is inspired by her airy new home kitchen. Sunny, Sandra, Aida, Anne & Guy shoot either in our studios here in Chelsea Market, or close by.
Please tell me you don't throw out extra food on your cooking shows.
Not a chance. We work with a fantastic group called City Harvest to donate some of the food to local shelters. Some prepared food goes to feed our crew and kitchen staff. The only food that is disposed of is that food deemed unsafe to eat because it has sat out too long under hot lights.
Why didn't you respond to my e-mail?
Rest assured we read every single message. But the sheer number — 20,000 a month — means that unfortunately we can't answer every single one.
That's it from where I sit.

There are many many dumb ways to die and the latest campaign from the Melbourne Metro illustrates a handful of them set to an original song for a video appropriately titled "Dumb Ways to Die." Featuring a downloadable song by Tangerine Kitty, the video is one piece of a campaign that includes a website hub and tumblr full of gifs.
In a style that marries the palette of Friends With You and the sensibility of Don Hertzfeldt, "Dumb Ways to Die" is an adorably morbid reminder to not be an idiot.

Mr. Adnan Oktar's Daily RemarksContinue…
Excerpt from Mr. Adnan Oktar's Live Conversation on A9TV dated October 29th, 2013
Didem Ürer: The number of Muslims killed by other Muslims in Iraq in just last 6 months, as a result of suicide bombings and other bomb attacks, is 7000.
Adnan Oktar: Had such deaths taken place in Europe, even if 7 people die, let alone 7000, everyone knows how they would move the earth. The extremists have rendered Muslims worthless. They even regard one another as base and worthless. They regard it as normal to kill one another. They even regard themselves as base, it is unbelievable.
They have formed a mass of low-quality, ill-educated, ignorant and repellent types in certain places. They have turned some Muslims into such masses. They are stinking types, mindless, who know not what they say, who know no forgiveness, affection or compassion, who favor violence. They are crude beings who look like animals, with no humane way of behavior. They have such low, inexplicable manners even lower than that of animals.
Europeans do not regard such people as human, and that is why they regard their being killed as normal, too. Of course, they martyr radiant, immaculate Muslims as well as bigots and fundamentalists. In this way people fail to see the difference in between these two groups of people. I mean they fail to understand the difference in between good, worthy people and these creatures. But it is of course terrible for a bigot to be killed or for a Muslim to be killed. It makes no difference, for it is horrible whoever it is. But they have led Muslims into the swamp of bigotry and on that pretext literally into the meat grinder. Thus they have slowly had Muslims killed. And the whole world is sitting by and watching. Look, they have convinced the whole world of one of the most dangerous things, that it is supposedly legitimate to kill Muslims. People in many places believe that. That have shown them it is easy to kill Muslims, and that it is necessary. And they have familiarized the world with not reacting. For example, 1 million Muslims are killed in Iraq, but the world regards that as acceptable. Along with the extremists, there are also highly valuable people we lose in this way. But nobody should be killed, extremists should not be killed either; they should be treated and educated. There is no need to hate extremists. It is a pity for them as well. Extremists do not emerge out of the blue. They are trained that way. Extremists are the result of that extremist training.
Today in Muslim countries, if a European for instance is killed, Muslims all protest. They all agree that this is wrong and ruthless, and embassies, consulates and ministries all go into action. But when a Muslim is killed- may God forbid- I am sorry to say this and I am only saying this for some certain people in some certain places- it is not regarded as important as a dog, or even a bug being killed. They do not even take it seriously. And no Muslim country or consulate or official department takes any action.
Look, they have martyred Muslims in Egypt, and did not even take them to hospital. They have not even allowed severely wounded people to be taken to hospital. But if one European, or three Europeans, is injured, they would take them to the top quality hospital and look after them very well. The press and other people take an interest and it becomes a major incident.
They have convinced the world that Muslims are worthless, crude and simple entities deserving of being killed. And they have developed this philosophy of killing under the name of Islamophobia. They have come up with that name Islamophobia. People kill Muslims, cut their fingers off and dry them and then hang them round their necks. And others admire this. They cut ears off and dry them and take them to Europe. And people admire that. As if they had killed an animal. You know the kind of people who cut an animal's horns or head off when they kill it and then dry them and hang them on their walls at home. This is the same logic. They boast as if they had killed an animal, may Allah forbid. (Surely Muslims are beyond this).
There is a system of terror and a policy of devaluing Muslims. That is the result of fundamentalist education. Because when asked, "Why do you kill these people?" they say; "These people hate women and say that 99% of women will go to hell. They say that "Women are semi-human." They regard them as mere creatures, equivalent to donkeys, pigs and dogs." They say that they will "kill those who do not fast or pray or give alms." They say they will "kill those who do not let their beards grow." They go on listing these. The list goes on forever. They say; "We hate such people and we want to kill them." That is how such a terrible state of affairs came into being.
The system of the Mahdi will resolve this. The followers of the Mahdi will resolve it. That is the reason for this vigorous struggle in the world. The followers of the Mahdi are passionately waging their intellectual struggle against such ideas in Europe, France and everywhere in the world. As a follower of the Mahdi I am also engaged in such a struggle in order to do away with this scourge, this policy of hatred.
