Afternoon groups to watch
By Brian Wacker, PGATOUR.COM
AUGUSTA, Ga. -- A line of thunderstorms spanning as far north as Kentucky and as far south as southern Louisiana is barreling toward Augusta National. The expected arrival time: Approximately 4 p.m. ET.
In the meantime, here's a look at a few afternoon groups to keep an eye on as they'll try to get in as much golf as they can before the heavy stuff hits.
Adam Scott, Sergio Garcia, Angel Cabrera, 12:57 p.m.: Scott has fared well here the last couple of years, tying for eighth in 2012 and second in 2011. The latter was Scott's best finish in a major at the time, and he held the lead by himself while playing the 71st hole. Then Charl Schwartzel birdied the last four holes to win by two. Garcia, meanwhile, famously said a year ago here that he doesn't think he will ever win a major. He's softened his stance since, but he has just two career top 10s here, the last of which came in 2004 when he tied for fourth. Cabrera has won a major -- three of them -- including this one in 2009.
Phil Mickelson, Louis Oosthuizen, Martin Kaymer, 1:30 p.m.: It's not a driver, it's not quite a 3-wood, it's a Phrankenwood. Mickelson never disappoints when he comes here, one way or the other, and this year is no different with a special club in his bag that's part driver, part 3-wood. He's also won here three times before. Oosthuizen lost to Bubba Watson in a playoff here last year, and he comes in off a 10th-place finish in Houston. He's also played well on the European Tour, winning the Volvo Champions in January.
Rory McIlroy, Keegan Bradley, Freddie Jacobson, 1:41 p.m.: Bradley has been a popular pick in various Masters pools in the press room and with good reason. Bradley, who two years ago won his first major at the PGA Championship, arrives here off four straight top 10s, including a tie for fourth at PGA National and a tie for third at Bay Hill. McIlroy, on the other hand, has had his ups-and-downs but seems to be trending in the right direction after a 65 at Doral and a runner-up in San Antonio.

I think it goes without saying that biblical Christians will vote in November in a way that favors basic pro-life issues, supports a return to some form of fiscal sanity, and rejects all attempts at legislative gender-bending. So much goes without saying. So I am not so much concerned about how our folks vote, for voting out the rapscallions can be edifying on a personal level, and instructive for the kids to boot. I am talking rather about how conservative Christians might get themselves invited to a rally, and then be tempted to get swept up into all the throw-the-bums-out excitement, losing track of some things that would be better not to lose track of. So . . .
1. Keep your head. We are living in a time when politicommotions are running high, and the pushback against socialist lunacy is likely to be rowdy and vigorous . . . but angry mobs do not constitute permission from God to stop obeying Him for the duration of the rally. If you are called to fight, then gird up the loins of your mind (1 Pet. 1:13).
2. Conservative forms of postmodern relativism are no better than the other kinds. History happened the way it did, and advocacy history for our side, celebrating whatever makes us feel better about ourselves, is no better than having the light bulb invented by a Zulu chieftain during Black History Month, and by Edison the rest of the year. I mean, co-opting Abraham Lincoln and Martin Luther King Jr. as champions of conservatism is enough provocation to make St. Francis kick three or four puppies. If some conservative rally a century from now has a big banner of Obama at it, then perhaps it wouldn't be too far off to suggest that somehow, somewhere, somebody slipped a cog.
3. Do not make the mistake of thinking that anything that makes the socialists, liberals, progressives, and commies froth at the mouth must be biblical. What they are advancing is evil, sure enough, but that doesn't mean that anyone who fights them must be good. Evil forces fight other evil forces, evil forces fight confused forces, and evil forces fight good forces. So you could be fighting evil, and still have the odds of you being a good guy be two to one against.
4. Always act, and never react. Action needs to proceed from a biblically based framework of political principles, and not from faux outrage over the fact that your gored ox is not covered by Medicaid.
5. Don't support any political movement in such a way that eliminates your ability to protest the inevitable compromises that will follow in the train of electoral victory, such compromises being undertaken and advanced by Republicans ten minutes after the election. Ten dollars says that after the election, which will be a good night for Republicans, a few leading Republicans will come out almost immediately and say that they don't actually want to dismantle Obamacare piece by piece, in order to throw it into the Chesapeake piece by piece. The only way to effectively counter to this will be by throwing congressmen into the Chesapeake, as a way to help them get the tar and feathers off.
6. Take note of the fact that pastors, theologians and writers alive today, who actually embody the principles held by the Founders, will usually not be allowed anywhere near the microphones, at least not while the television crews are still there. I have a cartoon from The New Yorker hanging on my bulletin board, where a school teacher in a flower power dress is saying to the kids, "'Give me liberty or give me death.' Now what kind of person would say that?"
7. Above all, beware the idolatry of a Christless civil religion. The American civil religion has the kind of pantheon that can fit lots of statues around the base of that dome, and Christians must not bow down to any of them. We are Christians and the worship of a generic Deity is prohibited to us. There is no way to the Father except through the name of Jesus. But there are manifestations of the American civil religion that are seductive to evangelicals. And so we must be told, again and again, little children, keep yourselves from idols (1 John 5:21).

Herbert Hoover Middle School vandalized; police call it a hate crime
The scene at Herbert Hoover Middle School in Potomac, Md. resonates with rage.
Shattered glass litters hallways from dozens of smashed windows. Spray paint stains walls and chalkboards with hateful language and sexual images.
Police say the Herbert Hoover Middle School was vandalized sometime between 3:30 p.m. on Wednesday and 9:45 a.m on Thursday. And it's being investigated as a hate crime.
"What kind of pleasure would someone get by walking into a school and breaking all the windows," said Ruth Heltzer, who has lived across from the school for 30 years.
Montgomery County Police responded to a call and went to the school where they discovered extensive vandalism to the walls, doors, windows and furniture.
The vandalism depicted sexual images, genitalia, and hate language, police say.
A $1,000 reward is offered for information.
And there's another concern. Police said that earlier in the week, at least 20 cars were vandalized in similar fashion in the Spencerville area.
Investigators wonder if the same person who vandalized the vehicles also hit the middle school.
From authorities: Anyone who may have information about who is responsible for this vandalism is asked to contact the 1st District Investigative Section at 240-773-6084. Those who wish to remain anonymous and qualify for a reward may call Crime Solvers of Montgomery County toll free at 1-866-411-TIPS (8477), or at 240-773-8477. Crime Solvers will pay a cash reward of up to $1,000 for information provided to them that leads to an arrest and/or indictment of the person(s) responsible for these crimes. Anonymous tips can also be provided by typing "MCPD" plus the tip on a cell phone or PDA and texting it to 274637 (CRIMES).

The Philbrick family of Hampton, New Hampshire, traces its origins to Bures St. Mary, Suffolk Co., England, where it is noted that Thomas, son of Thomas Filbrigg, was baptized 13 September 1584. We know this is the same individual who appears in Hampton, as his wife and children re-appear in New England.
A record researched and compiled by Theodore V. Dickerson, called "My Family Lines", would seem to have established the ancestry of Thomas.
Those who have done research during the sixteenth century may find yeoman families bearing the name of a prominent knightly family. In all probability, they are descended from a younger son of the family, but it is almost impossible to trace the generations. It is also possible that an individual was a free tenant and took on the name of the owner family when they moved on.
However, it is generally accepted that there was only one family of the Felbrigg name, which started with Roger Bigod, who came to England with William the Conqueror, and married Adeliza, daughter of Hugh Grentdesmesnils. The history of this family through five generations is well documented.1
The first ancestor Mr. Dickerson ties to the Bures family is Nycholas Fyllebrigge, who died 21 Feb 1563 at Bures.2 He places, as the only known child:
1) *William Fylbrigge.3 Born prior to 1540. William was living in Bures parish between 1540 and 1550. On February 23 or 26, 1559, he married a woman with the given name of Cyslie. William died in 1579 at Bures St. Mary, Suffolk, England.4 Mr. Dickerson places as children:
1) *Thomas Fylbrigge. Bapt. 1545-50, Bures, Suffolk, England. Md. circa 1574 to Elizabeth. He died after 1621. She died in 1619 and is buried at Bures.5
2) Robert Fylbrigge. Bapt. 15 Feb. 1561. Bures, Suffolk, England.
Because of the discrepancy in dates, it would appear that the ancestry of Thomas Felbrigge cannot be stated with any degree of certainty.
Thomas Felbrigge, of Bures, Suffolk County, may have been a fuller6. He was born about 1545-1550 and died after 1621. He married Elizabeth, last name unknown, about 1574. She was buried at Bures in 24 Apr. 16197. Their children, all baptized at Bures, Suffolk, England, were8:
1) John, baptized 9 Jan. 1575/76.
2) Priscilla, baptized 2 Feb. 1578/79.
3) Margaret, baptized 5 Nov. 1581.
4) *Thomas, baptized 13 Sept. 1584.
5) Robert, baptized 5 Nov. 1584.
6) Alice, baptized 25 May 1590.
7) Edward, baptized 18 June 1592.
8) William, baptized 28 Apr. 1594.
9) Elizabeth, baptized 28 Nov. 1596; died young.
10) Elizabeth, baptized 27 Aug. 1598.
Thomas Filbrick, baptized 13 Sept. 1584 at Bures St. Mary, Suffolk, England9; died at Hampton, New Hampshire in 1667. He married, while living at Bures St. Mary, Elizabeth Knopp or Knapp, daughter of William Knopp and Elizabeth Reade, 4 June 1615.10 She was baptized 8 July 1593 at Bures St. Mary.11
On 12 Oct. 1631, Thomas "Filbrig junior" appears in the Manor Court Rolls of Bures. Apparently he and some others have converted some of their tenements into cottages and have been brought before the court. It is determined that no one within the manor be allowed to convert tenements to cottages as a result of the action.12 This proceeding may have precipitated his move to America.
It has been said that he came to New England in 1630 in the ship Arabella. It was one of seventeen ships which brought colonists in that year. Traveling with this company was Gov. Winthrop and Richard Saltonstall. They set sail from Yarmouth, England on 8 Apr. 1630 and arrived at Salem, Massachusetts on June 14. Many who came in 1630 settled at Charlestown, but some, including the Philbricks, moved with Saltonstall to Watertown. However, it would be difficult for Thomas to have been in New England in 1630 and Bures in 1631, unless he made more than one trip and returned to England to take care of property disputes. Thomas was noted as a proprietor at Watertown, Massachusetts in 1636.13
In 1639 his son, John, removed to Hampton, followed not long after by another son, Thomas. Hampton was known for its abundance of fish, fowl and clams, and the salt marshes provided fodder for livestock. Thomas decided to sell his property in Watertown, and about 1646/47 joined his sons in Hampton.14
Elizabeth died 9 February 1663/64.15 Her death probably
prompted Thomas to see to a will for himself, as his will was written 12 Mar.
1663/64. It was proved in court 8 Oct. 1667, indicating that he probably died
in that year.
Their children, all born in Bures, Suffolk County, England were:
1) John Philbrick, baptized 1 Oct. 1616; drowned 20 Oct. 1657. Married Ann Knopp, daughter of William Knopp and Judith Tue, circa 1646. He, his wife, and a daughter, Sarah, were lost at sea when they left on a vessel sailing from Hampton to Boston.16
2) James Philbrick, baptized 2 Dec. 1619; drowned 16 Nov. 1674, in the Hampton River, near the mouth of Cole's Creek.17 Md. (1st) Jane Roberts, daughter of Thomas Roberts of Dover, abt. 1644, Strattford, NH. Md. (2nd) Ann Roberts, daughter of Thomas Roberts of Dover. After James' death, Ann married William Marston.18
3) *Elizabeth Philbrick, baptized 31 Oct. 1621/22; died 11 Feb. 1677, Hampton, Norfolk, NH.19 Married (1st) *Thomas Chase of Hampton abt. 1642. Thomas and Elizabeth settled opposite the Philbrick homestead. They remained there until the death of Thomas.20 Md. (2nd) John Garland of Hampton, 26 Oct. 1654.21 Md. (3rd) Henry Robie of Hampton, 19 Jan. 1674.22 His first wife, Ruth Moore, died 5 May 1673.23 After the death of Elizabeth, he married Sarah, surname unknown, who died 23 Jan. 1703. He died 22 Apr. 1688.24
4) Mary Philbrick, baptized June 1622. D. 28 Oct. 1702, Hampton, NH.25 Md. (1st) Edward Tuck, son of Robert and Joanna Tuck of Hampton, about 1648. He died 6 April 1652.26 Md. (2nd) James Wall of Exeter and Hampton. He died 3 Oct. 1659.27
5) Thomas Philbrick, baptized 7 Mar. 1623/24 Lincolnshire, England; died 24 Nov. 1700, Hampton, NH.28 Md. (1st) Ann, surname unknown. She died 17 May 1667.29 Md. (2nd) Hannah French, widow of John White of Haverhill, Massachusetts, and daughter of Edward French of Salisbury,30 22 Jul 1669.31
6) Hannah Philbrick, born about 1626.
7) Margaret Philbrick, baptized 30 Nov. 1628. Died young.
8) Martha Philbrick, baptized 4 Sept. 1631. Md. (1st) John Cass of Hampton, 7 Apr. 1657, Hampton, NH. John died 7 Apr. 1675.32 Md. (2nd) William Lyon Sr., of Roxbury and Rowley, Mass., 30 Nov. 1676.33 Md. (3rd) John Brackett, 21 Nov. 1698, Hampton, NH.34
The will of Thomas Filbrick follows:35
Some of the will of Thomas Philbrick was either damaged or could not be read. Missing parts are noted with " . . ."

When the local iteration of the MasterChef phenomenon arrived in 2009, it ushered in a new type of competitive cooking show. It was inclusive, nurturing and homely, and a total turnaround from the cut-throat, expletive-laden and aggressive styles of a previous generation of TV chefs such as Gordon Ramsay and Anthony Bourdain.
The MasterChef effect was immediate and inescapable. Matt, George, Gary and an army of contestants were turned into household names, once-exotic recipes became standard school-night fare and supermarkets began to dedicate aisles to culinary items that were once the domain of fancy delis.
''It's revolutionised the way we eat in this country'', says Sydney restaurateur Kylie Kwong.
Five series and several spin-offs down the track, little, if anything, has changed in the world of MasterChef Australia. And that, contends Kwong, who also has a handful of books and three TV shows under her belt, is cause for celebration.
''How much has MasterChef improved the way Australians see food, cook food? The MasterChef terminology is part of the everyday vernacular; there's a lot more exotic ingredients in the big supermarkets. It's very inspiring and it's very sophisticated. How many people has it reached in the world?''
An occasional guest in previous series of the show, Kwong will join presenters Matt Preston, Gary Mehigan and George Calombaris as a guest mentor when it returns for its sixth outing on Monday.
She says she will share her food knowledge and restaurant experiences, dispense advice to the contestants and throw in ''a little bit of jeopardy'' during immunity challenges.
But, primarily, it is her role as a nurturer that made the offer of a regular part on the show appealing.
''I like mothering people and nurturing them … I'm comfortable in that role. It's something I do at work.
''A lot of my role here as a mentor is not just to help nurture and keep the contestants calm, but to go around and ask questions that I know will bring out people's personalities.
''When I watch TV, or when I was doing my cooking shows, it's about allowing the audience to feel your presence and connect with you and not being this intimidating figure on the screen. We want to see the real person on screen. The contestants are real people; they're ordinary people doing fantastic things.''
She credits Neil Perry, with whom she worked for six years, for mentoring her when she was a budding chef.
''He believed in me, as I try to do with these contestants here. I'd say, 'I can't do it, I'm not ready', and he would push me off the cliff and walk out the door. He did that to me time and time again. We had this wonderful mentor and disciple relationship. He's a very good teacher, very good with females in the industry, as well as men''.
Kwong admits she could not endure the competitive paces through which the MasterChef contestants are put.
''It's so exposing, and allowing yourself to be so vulnerable. The sacrifices, being away from the family, or the university career, or the incredible job. If only all of them could win,'' she says.
Arguably, another key element of the MasterChef effect is the way it has turned chefs and restaurateurs into celebrities.
''For someone of my generation, it's important to keep my brand and my name and profile out there by doing things like this and books and so on to keep [her restaurant] Billy Kwong in the front of people's minds. Otherwise, you get left behind.
Ultimately, MasterChef is about empowering the contestants, Kwong believes.
''It's a feel-good show whether they win or lose … they're let down softly, they're given constructive criticism, they're given life lessons. It's a very empowering competition and that's why I'm proud to be part of it. It's not about putting people down; I'm not into that. I think that's why the audience connects with it. It touches you.''
MasterChef, Ten, Monday, 7.30pm.

But most directors like to keep their focus on the heroines. However, in the upcoming movie Seetamma Vaakitlo Sirimalle Chettu, the unit members have revealed that the camera's focus is hardly on the actress Anjali. Most of the time, the focus is on the actor Venky and other artists and hardly on Anjali.Everyone is clueless as to why the director Sreekanth Addala is actually doing this.
Grapevine whispers that this is because Anjali was doing extremely well that the director did not find it necessary to focus the camera on her expressions and performance. This may also be good news for Anjali as it is being observed that she has improved as an actor a great deal. Therefore, there did not arise any necessity to pay much attention to her. In fact, Anjali's career graph is expected to rise up after this movie.

JERUSALEM (Sep. 7)
A grant of offshore drilling rights to the Canadian prospecting company, Sancana, by the Israel Petroleum Council was announced last night by Menahem Bader, director-general of the Israel Development Ministry.
The Canadian firm has undertaken to investigate drilling possibilities along Israel's Mediterranean continental shelf. Part of the seabed is composed of limestone similar to the composition of some of Canada's largest oil fields.

LOS ANGELES -- Los Angeles Dodgers rookie shortstop Dee Gordon, who returned to the starting lineup on Tuesday for the first time since injuring his right shoulder on Saturday night, left the game after aggravating that injury while fouling off a pitch in the bottom of the eighth inning.
Gordon is scheduled for an MRI exam on Wednesday morning to determine the severity of the injury, but he said his shoulder doesn't feel as bad as it did when he injured it on Saturday.
"It was way worse the first time," he said. "I can say that for sure. That was more of a quick stinging action. I didn't feel it once on a swing until I took that swing. It just didn't feel right."
Gordon suffered the initial injury on a rundown play in which he chose to run Arizona's Kelly Johnson almost all the way back to first base, then had to dive into Johnson's back in order to tag him. Gordon jammed his right shoulder as he broke his fall with his right hand.
After it was determined Gordon didn't have a separation or a dislocation and didn't need X-rays, he sat out Sunday's game to let the injury recuperate, then came off the bench to play the final three innings of Monday's game.
Gordon said that although the pain isn't as severe this time, he is more concerned about the situation now than he was then because the discomfort returned.
"I just have to see what happens," he said. "I'm just going to do whatever the training staff tells me I should do."

Julianne Hough: Dancing is more than exercise
Julianne Hough credits her slim frame to dancing, because it works more muscles than just a regular workout.
The 26-year-old is known for her slim frame, which she flaunts with regular energetic routines both on stage and on Dancing with the Stars.
And Julianne said in a new interview with Women's Health magazine that she credits her svelte physique to dancefloor activity – which she says is better than any other exercise regime.
"I feel like dancing is the best workout you can get because you're working out muscles that you can't necessarily get just lifting weights," she told the publication. "To get my cardio in I'll do a lot of twists to get my obliques going and my heart rate up and then a lot of cha-cha moves because that's all about your core."
Julianne opened up to the magazine as she showed off her figure in a series of sexy swimsuits.
The stunning blonde also spoke about her personal life. She is in a happy relationship with Canadian hockey player Brooks Laich and says that when it comes to spending time with her beau, she is happy doing anything.
"We love going on day dates or staying in," she said. "He wants to dance so bad and literally wants me to teach him every single day so while we're in the kitchen we'll be dancing around with music playing."
The pair are incredibly low maintenance when it comes to romance. And Julianne said she believes relationships are all about spending quality time with your partner.
"We make our own dates," she said. "We don't have to go somewhere to have a date night."

Is Blount on the verge of being fantasy relevant?
Adam Rank | Tags: Cadillac Williams, Kareem Huggins, LeGarrette Blount, Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Many football enthusiasts know the name LeGarrette Blount, but not for positive reasons. Now the Buccaneers rookie running back could make a name for himself in fantasy circles — and for positive reasons.
The St. Petersburg Times is reporting that Cadillac Williams days as a featured back are over. That likely means an increased role for Blount, who figures to see work in short-yardage situations and near the goal line. Kareem Huggins also figures to get into the mix during passing situations.
So who becomes the primary back? Well, as the Buccaneers develop younger players it stands to reason it won't be Williams. This looks like backs-by-committee situation. I would not waste a wire claim on Blount right now, but he is certainly somebody to keep an eye on.

A MAN has been jailed for life today (Tuesday, May 6) after being found guilty of a string of sex attacks.
Mark Anthony Thompson, 37, from Hospital Fields Road, in the Fulford area of York, was found guilty of three counts of rape, two counts of sexual assault, one count of kidnapping, one of attempted rape and one count of trespass with intent to commit a sexual offence.
Today (Tuesday) he received a life sentence at Teesside Crown Court and was told he must serve at least 11-and-a-half years in prison before being eligible for parole.
Thompson, who used a number of Christian names, was arrested last October. The court heard last week how he had kidnapped a student from Stonebow in York at about 4am as she walked home from a Halloween party.
The woman was then raped three times.
Earlier the same morning, Thompson, had been thrown out of a friend's house, where he had been allowed to spend the night, after entering the bedroom of a woman living at the property with his trousers undone.
He also attacked a 24-year-old woman on Coney Street in York, in February 2009 and in July 2013 he assaulted a 32-year-old woman at a house in York.
Detective Chief Inspector Maria Taylor, who led the investigation, said: "Thompson is a violent and dangerous man who carried out a premeditated attack against a defenceless woman he preyed on at random. He subjected her to a horrifying and degrading ordeal.
"I believe that Thompson would have subjected his other victims to a similar trauma had he had the opportunity."
DCI Taylor praised the victims for their bravery in reporting the crimes and having the courage to give evidence in court.
"Although this verdict can never undo the events they endured I hope the fact that Thompson will now go to prison brings them some comfort," she said.

Microsoft on What Went Wrong with Age of Empires Online
Age of Empires is a great IP and when Microsoft released the MMO version in August 2011, many players played it. But Age of Empires Online turned out to be unsuccessful because of the poor business model it used at launch. Today at GDC, Executive Producer Kevin Perry looked back the original F2P model of the game and explained how they fixed it.
In the speech titled F2P The Wrong Way, Perry listed several things that Age of Empires Online did wrong at the beginning such as limited content, no Skirmish mode, gear based PvP which led to pay-to-win, grindy gameplay and so on. The fix was not an easy task, according to Perry, parts of the problems were easy to deal with but some were difficult to fix. What we see now is a game that has a totally different F2P model. Microsoft has dropped the price point and players can get Empire points by playing the game and they can earn everything in the game without spending a cent. The Skirmish mode was added, along with new civilizations. What's more, the game was released on Steam in March 2012.
One interesting thing about Age of Empires Online is that the developer has stopped adding new content for the game. Perry explained the decision today. He showed a graph of the game's population and said AoEO has a steady community from the very beginning. Although the steam release boosted the population significantly, the overall playbase remained very steady even the game adopted a new business model and released new content updates. Thus, the developer decided to focus on maintaining the game instead of updating it.
Perry said a game can recover from disastrous and he stated that keeping players engaged is the key to success. "Don't be afraid of change," he said at the end of the speech.
You! +1

Bryan Corey
Bryan Scott Corey
- Bats Right, Throws Right
- Height 6' 0", Weight 170 lb.
- School Pierce College
- High School Thousand Oaks High School
- Debut May 13, 1998
- Final Game August 9, 2008
- Born October 21, 1973 in Thousand Oaks, CA USA
Biographical Information[edit]
Bryan Corey has pitched in the US, Japan, Korea, Taiwan and Mexico.
He was drafted in the 12th round of the 1993 amateur draft by the Detroit Tigers as a shortstop. Assigned initially to the Bristol Tigers, he only hit .105/~.298/.137 as his sole offensive skill was drawing walks. In '94, Corey hit .153/.280/.188 for the Jamestown Jammers. With two years like that, his future clearly was not as an infielder. He also only fielded .878 in 1994, making him a "no-hit, no-field" player.
Moving to the pitching mound in 1995, Corey returned to Jamestown and went 2-2 with a 3.86 ERA and 10 saves for Jamestown. More impressively, he struck out 41 in 28 innings of work. At age 22, Bryan was a star for the Fayetteville Generals, going 6-4 with 34 saves and a 1.21 ERA. He allowed 50 hits, 17 walks and struck out 101 in 82 1/3 innings, providing further proof he had been assigned the wrong position originally. He led the South Atlantic League in both saves and games pitched (60) and Baseball America named him the top reliever in the SAL.
Corey struggled for the '97 Jacksonville Suns, having a 4.76 ERA and going 3-8 with nine saves. That November, he was taken in the third round of the 1997 expansion draft by the Arizona Diamondbacks. In 1998, Bryan went 4-6 with two saves and a 5.44 ERA for the Tucson Sidewinders, with a WHIP of 1.60. The new Diamondbacks needed arm help and he pitched three games for them that year, allowing four runs in four innings. It would be five years until he returned to the major leagues.
Corey was waived by Arizona that winter and claimed by Detroit again. For the 1999 Toledo Mud Hens, he went 5-2 with two saves and a 2.86 ERA as the club's most frequently utilized reliever. Joining the Oakland Athletics as a free agent, Bryan was 8-3 with four saves and a 4.24 ERA for the 2000 Sacramento RiverCats and was second on the team in appearances.
In 2001, he continued the wanderings of a AAA journeyman, going to the San Diego Padres chain and toiling for the Portland Beavers, where his line read 8-7 with six saves and a 4.67 ERA as opponents hit .300 against him. In 2002, his fifth organization was that of the Los Angeles Dodgers and his record was 5-4 with one save and a 4.36 ERA for the Las Vegas 51s and he allowed .348 average. He threw one scoreless inning on May 28 for the 2002 Dodgers. Returning to the same organization for a second (!) season, Corey went 4-5 with three saves and a 2.97 ERA in 60 relief stints for Las Vegas.
Another year, another franchise with the Chicago Cubs. Going 2-0 with five saves and a 3.38 ERA in 10 outings for the Iowa Cubs, he then moved on to the Yomiuri Giants. In Japan, Bryan went 1-1 with a 5.48 ERA in 21 games. His services were not retained for 2005.
In 2005, Corey signed with the Florida Marlins, his 8th organization. For the Albuquerque Isotopes, he was hammered to the tune of 3-6, 7.65 and a .312 opponent average. Joining the Texas Rangers chain in '06, Bryan saved 8 of 12 games with the Oklahoma RedHawks, allowing 1 earned run and 10 baserunners in 15 innings while fanning 16. He was 1-0 with 7 saves and a 2.08 ERA for the Frisco RoughRiders. Called up to Texas, he went 1-1 with a 2.60 ERA in 16 outings.
On July 31, he was shipped to the Boston Red Sox in exchange for Luis Mendoza. He had a 7.20 ERA in three games for the Pawtucket Red Sox and a 1-0, 4.57 record in three outings for Boston. In 2007, he pitched 58 games for Pawtucket and fared better (6-8, 3.69, 3 Sv) while he was 1-0 with a 1.93 ERA in nine outings for the 2007 Red Sox. Corey also split 2008 between Pawtucket (0 R in 5 IP) and Boston (7 R in 6 IP) before being sold to the San Diego Padres. He was then with the Portland Beavers (1 R in 6 2/3 IP) and San Diego (1-3, 6.23 in 39 G). Signing with the Texas Rangers, he posted a 7-9, 5.34 record for the 2009 Oklahoma City RedHawks.
Returning to Japan in 2010, Bryan went 4-4 with a 4.87 ERA and .289 opponent average for the Chiba Lotte Marines. He moved to the Korea Baseball Organization in 2011. Starting on Opening Day for the Lotte Giants, he fanned 7 in seven perfect innings to beat Hyun-jin Ryu and the Hanwha Eagles. He finished 4-3 with a 4.23 ERA in 25 games that year. Let go, he finished up the season with Taiwan's Lamigo Monkeys, going 2-1 with a 4.37 ERA. He spent most of 2012 back in the US with the Camden Riversharks but was not too sharp (8-10, 5.91, 152 H in 126 1/3 IP); he also allowed 3 runs (2 earned) in 5 innings for the Mexico City Red Devils with a win and a save. He tied for 7th in the Atlantic League in losses and tied for 10th with 89 runs allowed.
Corey became a Cleveland Indians scout in 2013. He then became a coach with the Vermont Lake Monsters in 2017.

I am back again to give you guys a little more inspiration for your December albums. If you haven't started one yet, now is the time!
I went back to my photos from last year and completed the 23rd and 24th. I had a lot of fun with these days. I cut up the 8" x 8" Divided Page Protectors for the two 4" x 4" pockets. I am so in love with these page protectors and all of the possibilities. Make sure to stock up before they are gone!
For this page I typed up some lines from our favorite Christmas song in My Digital Studio, then cut it out using a digital cutter. I used the Bebas Neue font. I then backed the page with a Gold Foil Sheet from the holiday catalog. I love these Gold and Silver Foil Sheets so much!!!
I love adding stuff to our albums from our everyday life. For the top 4" x 4" pocket on this page I included the cozy from Starbucks. I backed it with a Tea Lace Paper Doily and embellished it with a star cut out using a digital cutter.
On this page I added gold and silver glitter polka dots by placing Glue Dots on the page and sprinkling Gold Stampin' Glitter over them. Then I added a few more Glue Dots and sprinkled them with Silver Stampin' Glitter. I am in love with how it looks. (The photo I used is not really a Polaroid. I used an app that I downloaded to my phone to get this look.)
I hope this inspires you to get going on your December album! Make it as simple or as ornate as you want. Just have fun and I promise you will not regret documenting these memories.
Have a wonderful Christmas!

At first glance, some pilots might consider Aviation Tutorials' new Getting Around on the Ground software as a bit too basic to be useful for professional aviators. After testing the system for a few hours, however, this AIN editor now believes that it has plenty of substance and value.
This safety-focused software–one of eight packages the company offers–contains three hours of interactive initial and refresher training on airport signage, taxiway markings, lighting options and ATC ground procedures. The system runs on both a PC and a Mac and in simulator mode allows the pilot to set the visibility anywhere between unlimited and one-eighth of a mile, in daylight, dusk or at night, offering a host of challenging options.
Getting Around on the Ground consists of 16 different modules that test a pilot's skill at finding his way around both a GA and an airline airport, sprinkling in knowledge at almost every step along the way. And what training software wouldn't offer/demand a few quizzes along the way? I loved how they were presented.
The company website also offers a limited demo of each product so pilots can try before they buy.

VIERA, Fla.
Years before anyone heard of Frank Howard, another ballplayer came to mind whenever the name "Hondo" came up. Right after World War II, the baseball world was abuzz with stories of Clint Hartung, the "Hondo Hurricane" from Hondo, Texas.
Hartung had impressed every scout who had seen him play service ball, going 25-0 as a pitcher and batting .567. Just before he was discharged, he signed with the New York Giants for $35,000, then an enormous sum for an unproven player, and made his debut in 1947. The Giants saw him first as a pitcher but thought his bat was solid enough that he would be able to play the field or pinch hit on days he wasn't pitching.
In the end, Hartung's career wasn't quite what everyone expected. As a pitcher, he split 58 career decisions evenly with a 5.02 ERA. After 1950, the Giants made him exclusively a position player, but he had trouble with the breaking ball and was done in the big leagues after 1952, hitting .238 with 14 home runs and 43 RBI in 196 games.
The Hartung saga brings us to Micah Owings and his quest to make the 2013 Nationals. Owings, a 6-foot-5 right-hander, made his debut with the Arizona Diamondbacks in 2007. In the six seasons since breaking in, he won 32 and lost 33 with an ERA of 4.86 -- remarkably similar career numbers to Hartung. During that rookie season with the Diamondbacks, Owings won the Silver Slugger Award for pitchers, batting .333 with four home runs and 15 RBI. All in all, 12 of his 20 hits were for extra bases. He maintained his offensive prowess throughout the succeeding years, and his resume shows a .283 career average, with nine home runs, a slugging percentage of .502 and an OPS of .813 in 205 at-bats.
Any question why Owings might want to switch positions at age 30?
It's a tough battle for Owings, though it can't hurt that Nats general manager Mike Rizzo was Arizona's scouting director when he was drafted out of Georgia Tech in 2005. He's trying to make the club as a bench player who can play first base and the outfield and hit with some power from the right side of the plate. Tyler Moore filled that role last year and did so with distinction, hitting 10 home runs with 29 RBI in 156 at-bats.
The 26-year-old Moore, however, is considered a potential everyday player and was called up last year because of a need on the big league club. He still has minor league options remaining, and it may be difficult to find him as many at-bats in 2013. Might the club be thinking Tyler would be better off playing every day in Syracuse and let Owings take that role in 2013? Though manager Davey Johnson said Wednesday that Owings likely won't make the Opening Day roster, things may change in the early weeks of the season.
Owings has hit a ton this spring. Whether he gets the chance to make anyone forget Clint Hartung is in someone else's hands.

BUDAPEST (Aug. 14)
Dr. Nicholas Csmoss resigned today as director of the Hungarian Nazi Party, charging the party was financed from abroad and contained many pan-German propagandists. He said the party leadership had failed to investigate his charges. Resignation of Dr. Csmoss foreshadowed a split in the Nazi camp in Hungary, since he is expected to organize a new group. The party is under the nominal leadership of Capt. Ferenc Szalas, who is serving a three-year prison term for incitement.

James Yates, 23, gave killer Sean Mercer the gun which was used to murder the
He also helped Mercer cover his tracks after Rhys was gunned down in a
Liverpool pub car park in 2007.
Mercer, then 16, was sentenced to life and will serve a minimum of 22 years.
Yates was initially caged for seven years for assisting an offender and
possessing a firearm.
The sentence was increased by five years when Britain's top judge ruled the
first term was too lenient.
Now Yates — of the notorious Croxteth Crew — is set to be put on a day release
programme after being moved to Hatfield Open Prison, South Yorkshire.
Rhys's devastated dad Steve, 49, said: "If someone gets 12 years you expect
them to serve a good wedge of that rather than serving four years and then
being given the opportunity to get out.
"It's not what it says on the tin."
He added: "We know he's eventually going to be coming out but we don't feel he
has served long enough or has been punished suitably for what he's done. Is
he going to learn his lesson? Probably not."
A source claimed last night that Yates plans to spend his first night of
freedom in a hotel with fiancée Leanne Morrey.
They became engaged during his 2008 trial. The source said: "He'll be allowed
to roam around and go back to his old haunts. It's an insult to the
Liverpool people and to Rhys and his family."
The insider added: "Apart from Mercer, he's the last of the gang involved in
Rhys's death to still be in prison.
"He left Haverigg prison in Cumbria on Monday and now he is sitting in
Hatfield near Doncaster."
Yates's solicitor Julian Linskill said: "Clearly he's conducted himself
properly in prison otherwise this opportunity would not have been given to
A Prison Service spokesman said: "Only prisoners representing minimal risk of
escape and harm to the public are eligible for release on temporary licence.
They must pass a rigorous risk assessment."

FLHS using online videos to support learning
Joe Nathan
Education Columnist
Both national and local talent is being used to help Forest Lake and other students gain the benefits of video. That's good news for students and a compliment to teachers who continue seeking new ways to help students learn more.
Steve Massey, Forest Lake High School principal wrote, "We have a number of teachers who have used online videos to reinforce and support learning. This includes teachers who have recorded lessons and lectures and then posted them on their teacher websites for students to access at home.
"We also have teachers who are creating "flipped" lessons where the content of a given lesson is posted on the teacher's website and students are expected to review the information prior to class. This enables the teacher to use the class time to work with the information in a more in depth manner. In both biology and chemistry, for example, teachers have created flipped lessons and then used the class time for extensive labs where the information learned prior to class is relevant.
"On a related note, many of our textbook series have an online supplement that reinforces learning using videos and demonstrations. For instance, our math series has an online resource that provides re-teaching of the exact lesson students learned in the classroom. The lesson is retaught by using blackboard technology whereby the math concepts and problems are demonstrated on a digital blackboard.
"We are using technology to deepen and reinforce learning in many ways. Students live in a digital world and it is incumbent upon us to bring learning to their world."
Forest Lake Superintendent Linda Madsen pointed out that "Although some teachers in other schools in the district are working on this as well, (Steve) has captured where much of the in-depth work has occurred."
Cam Hedlund of Lakes International Language Academy in Forest Lake sent me several examples of videos, some created by teachers and students, and some created by a staff member. Some are in English and in Spanish. Here's a link to a video that Seth Erickson, the schools' tech coordinator made to help in his instruction for 5th and 6th graders: http://lilacademy.org/instruction/videos/google%20apps%20signin_students.swf
Jeffrey McGonigal, Anoka-Hennepin's acting interim assistant superintendent, reported that a number of teachers in that district have created videos for students to watch before and after class, to help them master ideas.
McGonigal showed me something called "HippoCampus: a project of the Monterey Institute for Technology and Education. The goal of HippoCampus is to provide high-quality, multimedia content on general education subjects to high school and college students free of charge. This website has hundreds of creative videos that are available free for educators, students and families: www.hippocampus.org/myHippo/?user=myMnLC
Finally, West St. Paul Sibley High School teachers sent several videos they have created. The first helps explain how they are replacing word problems with video problems.
Sibley teachers also are helping students make their own videos illustrating physics principles. A basic learning principle is if you can explain something to others clearly and accurately, you know the subject well.
I saw enormous creativity in talking with people from more than 30 districts and charters. I hope we'll find ways to share teachers' best work around the state.

- First full-support, miniaturized ventricular assist device approved in U.S. designed to be placed in the pericardial space -
- HeartWare Management to Host Investor Conference Call Today at 3:00 pm ET -
FRAMINGHAM, Massachusetts and SYDNEY, Nov. 20, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- HeartWare International, Inc. , a leading innovator of less invasive, miniaturized circulatory support technologies that are revolutionizing the treatment of advanced heart failure, today announced that it has received approval from the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the HeartWare® Ventricular Assist System as a bridge to heart transplantation in patients with end-stage heart failure.
(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20121120/LA17073 [http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20121120/LA17073])
The HeartWare® Ventricular Assist System features the HVAD® pump, a small full-support circulatory assist device (up to 10L/min flow) designed to be implanted next to the heart, avoiding the abdominal surgery generally required to implant competing devices. The HVAD pump, with sintered inflow cannula, weighs approximately 5 ounces and displaces a volume of approximately 50 milliliters. The HeartWare System is intended for use as a bridge to cardiac transplantation in patients who are at risk of death from refractory end-stage left ventricular heart failure.
The HeartWare System is currently the leading ventricular assist device implanted in patients outside of the United States, having received CE Marking in the European Union in 2009, and Australian Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) approval in 2011. Today, more than 2,500 advanced heart failure patients globally have received the HVAD® pump.
"FDA approval marks the culmination of an extensive clinical effort and represents an exciting advance in the treatment of late-stage heart failure patients," said Doug Godshall, President and Chief Executive Officer of HeartWare. "We wish to extend our most sincere thanks to the patients, and to their families, for participating in the study of this innovative device, and we also are grateful to each of the nurses, coordinators, surgeons and cardiologists who provided care to those patients."
Achieving long-standing goals"I've had the opportunity to work on the HVAD® project since its conception over a decade ago. The goal was to develop a miniaturized device with an integrated inflow cannula that could be placed within the pericardial sac, avoiding the necessity of creating a pump pocket with its attendant infection risks, as well as simplifying the surgical insertion," stated O.H. "Bud" Frazier, MD; Chief, Center for Cardiac Support; Director, Cardiovascular Surgery Research; and Co-Director, Cullen Cardiovascular Research Laboratories, at Texas Heart Institute and a global pioneer in mechanical circulatory support. "A second goal was elimination of mechanical bearings to suspend the impeller, designed to enhance durability and blood handling characteristics. Those of us who treat these challenging end-stage heart failure patients are fortunate to have this pericardial, wearless system available for our patients."
Commencing Commercialization"Our team is positioned to commence the commercial rollout of the HeartWare System immediately, first facilitating broad use by the 50 U.S. hospitals that participated in our clinical studies, and then with training and expansion to additional U.S. hospitals," added Mr. Godshall. "As always, HeartWare remains committed to enhancing outcomes for patients with end-stage heart failure and we will continue working to improve the overall clinical experience with the HVAD."
HeartWare's pre-market approval (PMA) submission included data from the Company's pivotal ADVANCE clinical trial, an FDA approved Investigational Device Exemption (IDE) study designed to evaluate the HeartWare System as a bridge to heart transplantation for patients with end-stage heart failure. Under ADVANCE, 140 patients at 30 hospitals in the U.S. received the HeartWare investigational device between August 2008 and February 2010. The ADVANCE study achieved a 94% survival at 6 months and successfully met its primary endpoint of establishing non-inferiority between the investigational device and comparator arm of the study, which was derived from contemporaneous patients from the Interagency Registry for Mechanically Assisted Circulatory Support (INTERMACS) [p

Vikings Corner: Vikings must get over Arizona loss
An inability to finish games, that was the knock four weeks ago.
Halfway through the season the Minnesota Vikings were 7-1 and on the surface looked like one of the most dominant teams in football.
They claimed big wins over Green Bay and St. Louis, but were down at the half against both Cleveland and Detroit. Throw in a couple of last-second victories with Baltimore and San Francisco and it just emphasized Minnesota's lack of a "killer" instinct. It was the inability to close-out football games that would be the demise of the team.
Then came three more games against teams with losing records and the Viking's responded with three-straight blow outs and likewise, comparisons with the 15-1 team of 1998.
It all came crashing down in Arizona though and it had nothing to do with closing out a victory.
The purple ruled that game for exactly 5 minutes and 13 seconds. Then it was over, nothing. They couldn't move the ball on offense nor stop anyone on defense. The only consistency they showed was on the injury report and that was the key point in the loss.
Up until this week the Vikings were one of the healthiest teams in the league. Only one starter, Antoine Winfield, has missed any significant time. If you look across the league, no other team has had that luxury.
That's not to say, players haven't been hurt, they have, but they still played. Up until Sunday it hadn't interrupted the flow of the game
"Injuries are a part of it," said Brett Favre. "I'll still say it, we are a very good football team, but if you don't play very well you are going to get beat. It is as simple as that."
After their initial scoring drive the Vikings began shuffling through players at an alarming rate. The offensive line was missing three starters at one point. Same with the defensive backs, which was especially important late in the game with the E.J. Henderson injury. He collided with a diving Jamarca Sanford who had replaced the injured Tyrell Johnson.
If you're searching for an answer, here it is. Minnesota lost because they were dominated by the Arizona Cardinals. The physicality of that particular game affected the players more than they've ever had to deal with before.
Faced with a three-man rush and a patch-work line, Brett Favre and company looked completely ordinary. Afterwards coach Brad Childress tried to downplay that point.
"I know that there were some offensive linemen in and out. We were trading people in and out. I thought we had a chance to build on that (their first possession). Did he start to press? I don't use the word press. Did we start to throw more? Probably."
Forced to regroup, Sunday becomes an interesting match-up for the purple. Cincinnati has a three-game lead on the Ravens and Steelers and can clinch the AFC North title with a victory.
For Minnesota, its how they rebound from the rout in Arizona.
"I just remind them that we are a 10-2 football team," said Childress. "You put a loss behind you and you got to look forward. As I have said before; it's a forward looking business. We are in the fourth quarter of this schedule and it's December."
"We need to bounce back quickly," added Favre. "No different than coming back at practice. How you respond is so important. How we respond in this game early will be equally as important."
It's not necessarily how you finish the game, what's even more important is how you finish the season.
T.J. Melcher can be heard on KBUN-AM1450.

The Arduino IDE needs a 32-bit Java Runtime Environment installed on your system to properly work. Please download the Java 7 JRE update 80 (7u80), if not installed on your machine, from this URL :
Please also be sure to remove any existing Java Runtime on your system before installing this one. Some users have also reported a sudden crash of the IDE after the splash screen is shown. It is very likely that you might be running out of memory when the IDE starts. So, to prevent it, edit the file :
in the root folder of the IDE itself. The default one show these options :
so, if the IDE is suddenly crashing on your system, please edit the file this way :
and relaunch the IDE main executable again.
The flag Xmx specifies the maximum memory allocation pool for a Java Virtual Machine (JVM), while Xms specifies the initial memory allocation pool.
This means that your JVM will be started with Xms amount of memory and will be able to use a maximum of Xmx amount of memory. For example, starting a JVM like below will start it with 256MB of memory, and will allow the process to use up to 2048MB of memory:
java -Xmx2048m -Xms256m
The memory flag can also be specified in multiple sizes, such as kilobytes, megabytes, and so on.
The Xms flag has no default value, and Xmx typically has a default value of 256MB. A common use for these flags is when you encounter a java.lang.OutOfMemoryError. The same applies to the arduino_debug executable. So try editing the values and then launch again the IDE after you have changed them, once done you should be fine.

Hi. First of all, I want to thank all doctors on this site for helping... you have no idea how much it means to myself and others. I've had 2 IPLs and 1 laser treatment. After the first IPL, I started getting brown spots on the sides of my face and a bit on the forehead. Doctor said brown spots were sun damage coming to the surface and that I needed more treatments... hence the second IPL and the laser. He now says Profractional in conjunction with an IPL will solve? Is this true? Thank you!
Pro-fractional Right For Me? I Have Hyper Pigmentation from Laser. (photo)
Doctor Answers 1
IPL/Profractional for Hyperpigmentation
Hi IPL. We would ask your doctor -- "How about some good old fashioned hydroquinone"? Whether the hyperpigmentation is just temporary or if it is more perment (Melasma), our solution in this situation would be the same - hydroquinone. An IPL and Profractional will not solve the problem and may make it worse.

Better Planning Systems in BiH EntitiesMay 8, 2013
Policy discussions related to harmonization of the development planning systems in both entities of Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH) that were launched in late 2012 with the support of the Integrated Local Development Project gained speed and came to concrete results. In the past months, representatives from more than 50 institutions engaged in consultative discussions and agreed on the vision, key elements, institutional responsibilities and coordination mechanisms in the future consolidated strategic planning frameworks in each BiH entity.
In Republika Srpska (RS), institutional partners agreed on the vision, responsible institutions for development planning, types and timeframe of planning documents, mechanisms for vertical and horizontal coordination and linkage between strategies and budgets at local and entity levels. All these elements are mirrored in the vision of the RS development planning system: "We are building a system that would lead to continuous improvement of quality of life in municipalities and cities and to a more efficient management of resources, with a high degree of harmonization and linkages among strategies, plans and instruments for their implementation". The concept of the future development planning system will be submitted to the RS Government for review and adoption by the end of May, 2013, prior to undertaking further steps towards its setting in operation as envisaged.
In the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina (FBiH), following the creation of the concept of the FBiH development planning and management system, stakeholders from entity, cantonal and local levels agreed to embark on the creation of a legal act to govern the future FBiH development planning and management system. Legal experts led by the FBiH Development Planning Institute and the FBiH Ministry of Justice initiated the design of the legal document, which will be widely discussed with local governments, cantons, entity institutions, as well as socio-economic partners in the course of 2013.
The establishment of coherent development planning systems in both entities will allow for vertical linkage between local strategies and higher government levels` strategic priorities and financial resources, enabling better implementation of development priorities particularly at the local level. Such harmonised development planning systems are in line with the general requirements of the European Union (EU) for the accession process and also create better pre-conditions for effective utilization of the EU financial assistance.

A weighty debate 2 – the industry responds to "fat" comments
Last week I wrote how a critic referred to actor Rosie Cavaliero as fat in a review of her new drama, ITV's Prey.
Clearly I hit a nerve, as the response to the column has been phenomenal and a real eye opener – not just for me, but for the industry.
What has been particularly interesting to note is that other performers seem to have been on the receiving end of comments from critics about their weight. Even more interesting – though perhaps not surprising – is that most of the people reporting these comments are female. And some of them are truly shocking.
Jenna Russell turned to Twitter to tell people that when she starred in Merrily We Roll Along, one reviewer mistakenly reported she was pregnant:
Sally Ann Matthews, meanwhile, took to Twitter to reveal a critic had once called her a "little pudding". That particular comment had awful consequences for the actor:
Meanwhile, Jo Joyner revealed what someone had once written about her:
The above, in particular, reiterates that – when it comes to appearances – you never know what someone is going through. Commenting on size, when it has no bearing on the role an actor is playing, is rude, insensitive and potentially harmful.
Although last week's column was supported by many male actors, it's interesting that there were no reports of men being on the receiving end of comments about their weight. It's also interesting that – for at least two of the remarks highlighted above – the people making the comments were men.
Some people raised valid points about actors whose weight or size is often a part of a role they play. Miranda Hart uses her height for comic effect, for example, and references it regularly in her sitcom. And there's no getting around the fact that size is of relevance – and may be commented on – when actors are cast in series such as Kay Mellor's Fat Friends.
Often, too, actors make no secret of the weight they have gained – or indeed lost – for a role, which – when compared to their normal size – is bound to be commented on. For example, Matthew McConaughey and Christian Bale have both undergone dramatic weight loss for roles, while Charlize Theron put on weight to play serial killer Aileen Wuornos in Monster. But, as Theron points out:
It wasn't about getting fat. Aileen wasn't fat. Aileen carried scars on her body from her lifestyle, and if I'd gone to make this movie with my body—physically I'm very athletic—I don't know that I would have felt the things Aileen felt with her body. It was about getting to a place where I felt closer to how Aileen was living.
So clearly there are times when an actor's weight gain or loss may well be commented on. But usually this is for a particular role, and the weight loss or gain may well feature as part of the story. This may well attract comments from reviewers.
More often than not, however, the size of an actor will be irrelevant and have no bearing on the part they are playing. In which case, commenting on it just becomes personal, as the Tweets I've highlighted above reveal.
And as Tamzin Outhwaite says:

1 See Non-GAAP Reconciliations below for more information.Third Quarter Fiscal 2013 Summary Sales for the third quarter were $10.9 billion, an increase of 4.0% compared to sales in the same period last year. Food cost inflation was 2.4%, as measured by the estimated change in Sysco's product costs, driven mainly by inflation in the produce and poultry categories. In addition, sales from acquisitions (within the last 12 months) increased sales by 1.8%, and the impact of changes in foreign exchange rates for the third quarter decreased sales by 0.1%. Case volume for the company's Broadline and SYGMA operations combined grew 1.7% during the quarter, including acquisitions, and declined approximately 0.2%, excluding acquisitions. Gross profit for the third quarter was $1.9 billion, an increase of 2.1%, compared to the prior year. Operating expenses in the third quarter increased $140 million, or 9.8%, compared to operating expenses in the prior year period. This increase was due primarily to a $46 million increase in certain items, including a $41 million charge from an MEPP withdrawal; a $34 million increase in gross business transformation expenses; and a $22 million increase in payroll expense. Excluding certain items and business transformation expenses, adjusted operating expenses increased 4.4%. Operating income was $337 million in the third quarter, decreasing $102 million, or 23.2% compared to operating income in the prior year. Excluding certain items and business transformation expenses, adjusted operating income decreased 4.4%. Net earnings for the third quarter were $201 million, a decrease of $58 million, or 22%, compared to the prior year. Diluted EPS in the third quarter of fiscal 2013 was $0.34, which was 22.7% lower compared to last year's third quarter. Excluding certain items and business transformation expenses, adjusted diluted EPS was $0.49, which was a decrease of 2.0%, compared to the prior year.

Remember when live theatre was an event, a special occasion? Just as I was beginning to fear that those days were gone, along comes a troupe called In Mixed Company, which takes a good evening of theatre, Five Women Wearing the Same Dress, and turns it into a happening.
Five Women is the best production to be presented in the Valley since ASU's Stages.
This progressive troupe has brought the wedding experience to the intimate 7th Street Theater, complete with tuxedo-clad ushers, adeejay, wedding cake and champagne. Combine these ingredients with a well-acted performance of Alan Ball's thoughtful, outrageous play and you have a true theatrical experience. I won't give away any more of the surprises awaiting you; just dress up and wear your dancing shoes.
Like Steel Magnolias and the current cinema hit Waiting to Exhale, Five Women explores modern women's struggles with self-esteem, sexual abuse, ritual, rejection and, of course, men. The setting is Meredith's bedroom, which becomes a refuge from her sister's wedding reception below. Meredith and the four other bridesmaids assemble to gripe about the bride ("always a bridesmaid, never a schmuck") and to help each other cope with the memories that weddings and family gatherings dredge up.
Meredith and her cousin Frances are as opposite as they could be on the surface; Meredith is a drug-taking rebel, Frances is a fundamentalist Christian. But they are essentially the same--youthful idealists who believe that if only other people would adopt their world view, everything would be fine.
Tricia, once the bride's best friend, and Georgeanne, a distant friend of the bride, also have common struggles, yet they are polar opposites in their actions. Tricia drifts from lover to lover (claiming 100 or so), unwilling to open herself to real love; Georgeanne covets approval from men, unwilling to approve of herself. Both are thus removed from the possibility of experiencing true love.
The final bridesmaid, Mindy, is the groom's lesbian sister. Mindy is a calming influence, a sounding board for the bridesmaids. In contrast to the four other reception refugees, she has achieved a sense of maturity and balance.
Together, the personalities in this collection lay bare each other's inner lives as they quarrel, cry, drink and love together, making choices that will help each grow--perhaps even find happiness.
The play is suffused with humor, but Ball pulls no punches when he wants to make a point, be it about religion, AIDS or aging. Still, the play manages to end on a note of optimism without sugarcoating the difficult road ahead for each of the characters.
The play is wonderfully paced; director Jean Thomsen makes this two-hour group-therapy session whiz by.
Leading the cast in a beautiful piece of acting is Ginny Harman as Georgeanne. Harman ranges easily from silly to somber, and imbues Georgeanne with real depth.
As Tricia, the queen of the one-night stands, Debra K. Stevens rationalizes her behavior as the expected outcome of her past. Stevens' timing is smooth and deliberate as she tries to convince herself that sensual pleasure is true happiness.
Suzanne Sanders plays a militant Meredith, declaring what's on her mind at any volume shefeels is appropriate. Sanders is the focus of the disturbing scene in this show, and she handles Meredith's deep-seated conflict with just the right touch.

Katie McFadzen brings a fine sense of physical comedy to the role of Mindy, playing both butch and debutante with equal skill. McFadzen's nonchalance strengthens her character.
As the beleaguered Frances, Jasmine Stocken comes across as stilted at times, but is ultimately convincing as the designated substance-free member of this party.
This show is not to be missed. In Mixed Company has brought excitement back to live theatre, and can serve as an example for other Valley theatre companies.--Gerald Thomson
In Mixed Company's production of Five Women Wearing the Same Dress continues through Saturday, January 27, at 7th Street Theater, 3302 North Seventh Street.

SAN FRANCISCO - Hoping to do for the written word what iTunes did for music, the online document-sharing service Scribd is opening an Internet store that will offer new sales opportunities for authors and publishers, and possibly spawn more bargains for book lovers.
Scribd's commercial channel, scheduled to debut today, marks the first time the two-year-old service has charged for the material posted on its website. It claims to have amassed 35 billion words in a mix of books, PowerPoint presentations, legal briefs, and other documents.
Until now, access to all the material on Scribd had been free, although two months ago the company began to let publishers upload books with links to other websites where a copy could be bought.
Now San Francisco-based Scribd will pocket 20 percent of each sale completed in its own shop and pay the remaining 80 percent to the creators or copyright owners of the written material. It's a concept similar to other publishing sites, including Lulu.com, but Scribd appears more likely to shake up the market, said Gartner Inc. analyst Allen Weiner.
Scribd's biggest advantage is a system that will allow any document bought from its store to be read on different gadgets - a personal computer, an electronic book reader like Amazon.com's Kindle, or a sophisticated mobile phone.
"That's the Holy Grail right there, so I think this could turn into a really big deal," Weiner said.
