Matt Manning Starts His Delivery
20 – year old RHP Matt Manning is learning how to use his pitches, hold the runners, and is quickly developing his potential into a major league pitcher, who could lead his parent club back to the roses..
The 6-6 youngster has all of the makings of the #1 ace on a major league pitching staff. The Detroit Tigers drafted him in Round 1 of the 2016 Draft (9th overall). Savvy baseball folks have rated him the 47th best prospect in all of minor league baseball, and second or third best of Tigers' minor league prospects. He is the son of a NBA star, Rich Manning and could have played basketball at Loyola Marymount, but the Detroit $3.5 million offer persuaded him to forego college and pitch baseball.
In 29.1 IP at GCL Tigers in 2016, in his professional baseball debut, he struck out 46 batters, in 2017 at NY/PA Rookie A Connecticut Defenders, he struck out 30 batters in 33 IP, and in a couple starts at Low A West Michigan near the end of the season, he stuck out 26 batters in 17.2 IP.
Matt Manning Unleashes His Fast Ball
In the first half of this season, he continued pitching at the Tigers' Midwest League affiliate West Michigan Whitecaps, where after recovering from a strained oblique and a resulting slow three games start, he pitched a stretch of games in which he allowed one run or less in 5 of his next 8 outings and consecutive 7 IP shutouts to close out his Midwest League stay with a 2.34 ERA in his last 8 starts and overall the first half of the 2018 season, a 3-3 W-L, in 11 GS, and 3.40 ERA, 28 BB, and 76 K in 55.2 IP pitched.
Tigers brass thought he was ready for a tougher test in late June and promoted him to the Fast A – Florida State League where In his first three starts with the Lakeland Flying Tigers, he's 2-0, with a 2.70 ERA, 10 BB, 20 K in 16.2 IP.
Matt Manning is Averaging More than a K an inning
Although Manning has at each minor league level consistently doubled or better the number of his Ks to BB, his pitching coach at West Michigan Jorge Cordova believed he still had some pitching lessons to learn. "He needs to understand with the great stuff he has that he doesn't have to pitch to swing and miss every batter. He's got such a great fastball, he has such a great curveball, and he can get hitters off balance with the change up," that he can get the hitters out on contact too.
In the Midwest League, he learned to hold the base runners better too. Cordova observed, "he was holding runners pretty well his last starts against Dayton and South Bend. While there weren't many runners in those games, four and five each game respectively, "He's learning, understanding he needs to be quick to the plate. He needs to vary his look, he needs to hold the ball as long as he can."
Interviewed after the Dayton game, Manning said he did his homework before the game, "I studied the Dragons hitters' tendencies in the two previous games, and thought if I pitched to contact, forced the hitters to swing, and located my fastball inside to both lefties and righties, I'd be successful."
The outlook for Matt Manning is bright as he is applying the lessons he has learned to his minor league pitching and is blossoming more and more each start. If he keeps getting A's on his Florida State League report card, it won't be long before he moves up to the AA- Erie Sea Wolves then AAA – Toledo Mud Hens and onto the pitchers' mound at Detroit's Commerce Park.
There the tall lanky RHP may remind some old timers of another tall right-hander who won 183 games in 13 seasons for the Tigers because Matt Manning could be just as good or better than that pitcher for the Detroit Tigers.

Here's part two of my interview with Professor Uro:
(CWS) 4. To your mind, what is the relationship, if any, between the Gospel of Thomas and the Gospel of John?
(RU) I agree with Ismo Dunderberg that the attempts to reconstruct a conflict between John's and Thomas' communities are on a shaky ground. I also find helpful his idea that both the figure of the beloved disciple in John and the apostle Thomas in the Gospel of Thomas should be seen in the context of other figures of authentication that abound in early Christian literature. There are interesting points of contact, though, and both gospels seem to roughly derive from same stage of the Christian movement as 1Timothy, Hebrews, and some of the Apostolic Fathers.
(CWS) 5. Another research interest that I have and one that I hope to promote on this blog is the historical Jesus. What implications for historical Jesus research does the Gospel of Thomas have? In your opinion is there anything in Thomas that is old enough to be potentially illuminating about the life of the historical Jesus? If so, what?
(RU) I think the most important contribution of Thomasine studies to historical Jesus research is methodological. As I explained above, one of my first interests was to use Thomas' materials to understand the tradition process in light of orality and literacy studies. Now the field is often called orality-scribality-memory studies. The results of such studies may not be as direct or dramatic as tracing some "authentic" traditions in Thomas, but I have been influenced by E.P. Sanders too much to take the sayings tradition as a point of departure in the study of the historical Jesus.
(CWS) 6. What scholars pursuing research on the Gospel of Thomas (and/or Christian Origins) have you found most helpful for your own work on the Gospel of Thomas?
(RU) As to the scholars, I cannot overstate the influence of the "original" Thomas project team in Helsinki (Dunderberg, Marjanen and Uro). We worked together intensively musing over Thomas and other Nag Hammadi writings on countless occasions for a period of several years. Moreover, my post-doctoral studies in Claremont brought me under the influence of the so-called Koester-Robinson school. I haven't been a very obedient member of the school, but I always think with appreciation of what these great scholars have done to promote the study of Nag Hammadi and extra-canonical writings.
In terms of books, I have already mentioned Davies' The Gospel of Thomas and Christian Wisdom and Kelber's The Oral and the Written Gospel. Steve Patterson's The Gospel of Thomas and Jesus was on my desk constantly while working on Thomas.

India has a large diasporic population in the Middle East with more than six million Indians living and working in the Gulf countries alone. According to the World Bank, India was the largest recipient of remittances in the world ($69 billion) in 2012. A large percentage of these remittances come from the more than six million expatriate Indians working in the Gulf, many of whom are Muslims. Indian Muslims who live and work in the Middle East play a prominent role in influencing the historical, financial, and ideological links between India and the Middle East.
The United States and India have a mutual interest in ensuring a stable and secure Middle East. Some of the key challenges in this area include confronting the threats posed to the region by nuclear-armed countries, e.g., Iran, and the destabilizing effect of state support for terrorist organizations.
In Fall 2013, the U.S. Consulate General at Hyderabad and Indian School of Business will host a major conference in Hyderabad that will focus on the changing energy, security (including non-proliferation and terrorism) trade, and people-to-people trends in the Middle East vis-à-vis the U.S. and India. It will bring together civilian and military think tank experts from the United States, India, and other countries to discuss opportunities and obstacles as the U.S. and India take on significantly different roles in the Middle East. Conference organizers will later publish the proceedings of this conference.
Below is a summary of the conference themes.
Panel 1: Energy Trends
- Current energy trends and challenges for the U.S. and India
- Energy security issues
- Role of technology in the production and transfer of energy
- Alternate sources of energy and their impact
Panel 2: Trade Issues
- Bilateral trade between India and the GCC (Gulf Cooperation Council)
- Bilateral trade between U.S. and Persian Gulf countries
- Infrastructure modernization and its impact on trade
- Trade beyond the Persian Gulf
- Trade choke points and obstacles
Panel 3: Geo-political and Geo-strategic Issues
- U.S. and Indian maritime activities in the Persian Gulf states
- India as a mediator between Iran and the West
- Iran's nuclear challenge
- Terrorist networks in the Middle East
- Port security and security of naval vessels
- Piracy, transnational crime, and counter-terrorism
- Arab world relations with Pakistan vis-à-vis India
Panel 4: People-to-People Ties
- The influence of Indian Muslims in shaping India's Middle East policies
- Historical and contemporary linkages between India and the Middle East
- U.S. colleges in the Middle East
- Financial remittances from the Gulf
- 'Wahabi' influences on Indian Islam
- The Indian diaspora in the Middle East and its effect on Indian foreign policy

Rockies Recap: Fogg drubbed, Koshansky homers
Dodgers 13, Rockies 5
At Tucson, Feb. 28
At the plate: The 0-4 Rockies are hitting just .216 as a team, but they did hit their first homer of spring with Joe Koshansky launching a two-run shot in the ninth.
On the mound: Veteran Josh Fogg, battling to make the roster, was consistently behind in the count and got rocked again. The Dodgers sent nine men to the plate in the fifth, scoring four runs on five hits. Fogg also hit a batter.
Jorge De La Rosa's two innings mirrored his up-and-down 2008 season. The lefty looked crisp tossing a hitless fourth, but lost command in the fifth, leading to three hits, a walk and a two-run homer by Matt Kemp.
Reliever Jason Grilli, his final game before leaving to play for Italy in the WBC, served up a grand slam to the career minor-leaguer Mitch Jones in the Dodgers' six-run eighth.
In the field: Left fielder Scott Podsednik flashed his speed in the first, hauling in Blake DeWitt's shot to the gap in deep left-center. Eric Young, Jr. had a tough day at second, bobbling a throw by shortstop Troy Tulowitzki in the second and misplaying a grounder in the fourth.
Footnotes: Jeff Baker was scratched from the DH spot because of a sore right elbow. … Shortstop Troy Tulowitzki was the only projected starter to play in the field for the Rockies.
Up next: Rockies travel to Goodyear (West of Phoenix) on Sunday to play the Indians.
Scheduled Rockies pitchers: Aaron Cook, Ubaldo Jimenez, Taylor Buchholz, Ryan Speier, Cedrick Bowers.

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Microsoft Corp stunned Wall Street with disappointing results that included plans to slash up to 5,000 jobs and a warning that profit and revenue will almost certainly drop over the next two quarters.
The news from the world's largest software maker, which had not been expected to report results until after the close of trading on Thursday, sent shock waves across financial markets, pulling down the Nasdaq, and sending U.S. Treasury debt prices higher as investors sought safer assets.
Microsoft's shares dropped as much as 11 percent to their lowest level since January 1998, adding to a 40 percent decline in the past year.
The company blamed the miss on the weak PC market and the popularity of low-cost netbook computers, which have combined to badly undercut sales of its Windows operating system.
"Our financial position is solid ... but it is also clear that we are not immune to the effects of the economy," Chief Executive Steve Ballmer told employees in a letter. "Consumers and businesses have reined in spending, which is affecting PC shipments and IT expenditures."
The market has become so volatile, Microsoft cautioned, that it will not issue earnings or revenue forecasts for the rest of its fiscal year ending June 30, 2009 — other than to predict both will very likely be lower.
"It is pretty bad when things are deteriorating so fast that even the largest companies in the world don't know how rapidly it is happening," said Jefferies analyst Katherine Egbert.
Microsoft posted a profit of $4.17 billion, or 47 cents per share, in its fiscal second quarter ended December 31, versus a profit of $4.71 billion, or 50 cents per share, a year earlier. Analysts were looking for earnings of 49 cents per share, according to Reuters Estimates.
Revenue rose 2 percent to $16.63 billion, missing the average analyst forecast of $17.1 billion.
Sales in the Windows segment fell 8 percent, while its Business division, responsible for the Office software package, marked a 1 percent increase. Revenue at the unit that makes the popular 360 Xbox gaming system rose 3 percent.
Looking ahead, the Windows business is expected to perform in line with the weak traditional PC market, Microsoft said.
Microsoft's staggered elimination of 5,000 jobs — 1,400 immediately and the rest over 18 months — amounts to about 5 percent of its estimated 96,000 work force, the biggest reduction ever by the software maker. Other cost cuts include travel and marketing budgets, and the roster of independent contractors.
"Clearly business conditions are worse than people were expecting," said Richard Williams, analyst at Cross Research. "This is a substantial amount of jobs cuts. Microsoft has never had a layoff like this in my knowledge and it's sending a signal that the times are definitely changing."
The job cuts follow similar moves by other technology firms, including AT&T Inc, Dell Inc, Motorola Inc and Advanced Micro Devices Inc, all of which are suffering from the global economic slowdown.
Microsoft faces a shift by PC buyers to netbooks, which are smaller, stripped-down laptops. Microsoft only gets $60 or less for each sale of Windows for a netbook, compared to $90 for traditional laptops, according to Enderle Group analyst Rob Enderle. Some netbooks also use the rival open-source Linux software instead of Windows.
On a conference call, Ballmer said Microsoft also lost market share to Apple Inc, which on Wednesday posted surprisingly strong results. Ballmer, whose public histrionics often overshadow a sharp intellect and gift for numbers, was serious in tone.
"We are certainly in the midst of a once-in-a-lifetime set of economic conditions," Ballmer said, adding that the company is "dealing with unprecedented ground."
As for the economy, Ballmer said he did not expect a quick rebound.
Still, Ballmer noted that Microsoft will be adding "thousands of jobs" in strategic areas like Internet search, where it has been lagging behind Google Inc, and that he still desires a search partnership with Yahoo Inc.
Ballmer said the result of the job cuts and additions would be an overall staff reduction of 2,000 to 3,000 positions.
But Chief Financial Officer Chris Liddell said he does not expect significant acquisitions this year, despite hopes from some Yahoo shareholders for a buyout.
Shares of Microsoft were down $2.13 at $17.25, after touching an intraday low of $17.17, the weakest level since January 1998. It was the biggest single-day drop in the stock since an 11.38 percent fall on April 28, 2006.

Madeira Park was named by Joseph Gonsalves, who settled here in the early 1900s after arriving from Madeira Island near Portugal. The communities of Garden Bay, Madeira Park and Irvine's Landing form what is collectively known as Pender Harbour located on the Sunshine Coast of BC.
Pender Harbour is a tough part of the Sunshine Coast to get a handle on. If you try to figure it out as you are passing by on Hwy 101, you'll never figure out where freshwater lakes end and saltwater coves begin.
This area is like a wonderful ecological maze. Even if you take the plunge and begin exploring the roads that connect the three ocean side towns found in the area, you'd be hard pressed to keep things straight.
Take a relaxing walk down easy paths you will find here. Or go on one of the more difficult hikes through the area surrounding Pender Harbour. The routes to Pender Hill and up Mount Daniel are popular with practised hikers, their summits providing amazing views overlooking the water.
Pender Harbour offers a surprising array of amenities for the population. Madeira Park is the main shopping centre for the region, with banks, IGA, the Oak Tree Market (great butcher!), liquor store, pharmacy, RONA, tool rental yard, handicrafts and furniture stores, as well as and art gallery and book & gift stores. The Pender Harbour Health Clinic includes a full time Dentist and Medical Clinic as well as offering a variety of other services including chiropractors and physiotherapists. Restaurants, pubs and coffee shops round out the rest of the business community.
When you drive through the village and will find yourself at Madeira Landing, the first real indication of how close you are to seawater in this maze of waterways and land. The marina offers a small well-maintained picnic area with tables, lawn and gardens and the notice board on the pier offers boats, tours, and halibut cheeks for sale in this mixed commercial fishing and pleasure boating area.
Madeira Park is located on Pender Harbour off Highway 101 on the Sunshine Coast of BC. Travelers from the Lower Mainland should take a ferry from Horseshoe Bay to Langdale, and then drive 50 miles northwest on Highway 101.
Madeira Park, with its secure settled feel and its availability for so many land and water outdoor pursuits, is popular with landlubbers and boaters alike.

Surgery was a piece of cake…
"Prior to cataract surgery, I couldn't see anything without glasses! But now, after having Refractive Laser Assisted Cataract Surgery with the Toric Implant, my vision is 20/20! I don't need glasses at all for distance. I really am impressed with it. Surgery was a piece of cake and completely painless. I definitely recommend this."

Kevin Matthews, an orthotist, came up with an innovation in KAFO design that effectively and comfortably removes 100% of load bearing force at the knee
"This design is indicated for patients suffering from chronic, acute conditions such as failed TKA, hardware removal, severe osteoarthritis…If the load is removed the pain is effectively eliminated. I have attached an introductory video and a video of my first patient. These will be available soon through your local orthotist. Please reply if you're interested. This design is patent pending. http://youtu.be/_ksIoVNEcdI Intro video http://youtu.be/GJCHyOxnPIU First patient I hope the links work! I'd appreciate any input!"
In this video Kevin Matthews demonstrates his new KAFO design. This orthosis, or knee brace design is indicated for patients who suffer from chronic, acute knee pain that limits their life. It will also work well for patients who had a post-operative infection after knee replacement surgery and had hardware removed. It effectively removes 100% of the load bearing force at the knee. If there is no load, there is no pain. It is also armor against the outside world. It was originally intended for physicians, and still is, but all can view.

Ever want to take a family trip to a wonderful Florida Amusement park? Maybe you already have but you want it to go a little smoother.
1Have at least one person in your group wear a backpack. TRY TO REFRAIN FROM PURSES! Purses get lost easily and left behind. Some women prefer waist purses. A purse on your shoulder all day in the Florida heat can be a drag.
2The backpack should include water (you can buy some but even water is expensive in those parks). Sun screen! Even if you have some on, re-apply every few hours to avoid sunburn. And a camera perhaps.

We'll be the first to admit that it's difficult to imagine Hillary Clinton facing legal consequences for anything she does -- whether it's related to her private e-mails or destroying Libya.
Aside from the fact that she's a Clinton, and therefore above the law, there are plenty of indicators which suggest that Hillary will never see her long-overdue day in court. For example, Howard J. Krongard, a former Inspector General of the Department of State, insists that the FBI's probe into Hillary's private e-mail server "will never get to an indictment".
But the investigation has taken a number of interesting turns since Krongrad made those remarks in the beginning of February. The "investigation" into Clinton's mishandling of classified information, which many have viewed as somewhat farcical, has actually expanded over the last month:
An investigation into possible mishandling of classified information on Hillary Clinton's private email server has expanded to consider whether Clinton's work as Secretary overlapped with her work for the Clinton Foundation run by her family.
Indeed, Hillary Clinton is now tied to at least four investigations by federal agencies.
And now the FBI, which has publicly acknowledged that it is conducting a criminal investigation, has a "devastating witness" against Clinton:
Former Hillary Clinton IT specialist Bryan Pagliano, a key witness in the email probe who struck an immunity deal with the Justice Department, has told the FBI a range of details about how her personal email system was set up, according to an intelligence source close to the case who called him a "devastating witness."
The source said Pagliano told the FBI who had access to the former secretary of state's system – as well as when – and what devices were used, amounting to a roadmap for investigators.
"Bryan Pagliano is a devastating witness and, as the webmaster, knows exactly who had access to [Clinton's] computer and devices at specific times. His importance to this case cannot be over-emphasized," the intelligence source said.
Here's the juicy bit, though:
The intelligence source described the morale of [FBI] agents as "very good and nobody is moping around which is the first sign a big case is going south."
We doubt that Hillary will ever have formal criminal charges brought against her. But if there's enough irrefutable evidence to show that Clinton broke the law -- and this witness apparently could be the key -- Hillary might be compelled to bow out of the presidential race.
Yes, Hillary Clinton's ego and apparent immunity from the law makes this scenario seem far-fetched. But there's always a breaking point. The system will eat its own when faced with situations that could expose its rotten core. If the evidence is damning enough, Hillary could be thrown under the bus.

text: Whitfield (American Studies/Brandeis; A Death in the Delta: The Life of Emmett Till, 1988) examines the complex interplay between Jewish newcomers to the US and the culture they helped shape. Whitfield states his central concern early in this volume: "The United States may be the site . . . that has most fully tested the category of Jew. . . .'' Although the Jewish presence in America is nearly 350 years old, Jews did not come to the US in significant numbers until the 1880s when the first influx from eastern Europe arrived. At the turn of the century, Jewish- American institutions experienced an explosive period of growth, and the Jewish influence in American culture became widespread, far beyond the tiny size of the Jewish-American community. There is "no epicenter of American Jewish culture," as Whitfield notes, yet Jews have dominated many areas of American culture, most prominently Hollywood, the musical theater, and, in this century, literature. Whitfield's thesis is as complex, multifaceted, and polyvalent as the Jewish-American experience itself. He sidesteps the more heavily trod fields of film and literature to focus on music, theater, and the Jewish-American reaction to issues of race and the Holocaust. The book suggests that while the Jewish contribution to American culture has been a central one—perhaps second only to that of African-Americans in this century—the reverse has been less true, with the greater freedom and security of America having a deleterious effect on Jewish identity. He is hardly the first to make that observation. Nor is he the first to argue that a stronger faith component to Jewish-American identity is all that stands between the community and an eventual evaporation into the American ether. But he makes his case wittily. In Search suffers a bit from a ramshackle structure, but the author pulls the threads of his themes together convincingly in the book's final chapter. If readers can stay with him that long, they may be rewarded for the effort.

Rated 5 out of 5 by jccwc from Perfect in every way It's the perfect size and shape for appetizers, a dressed salad, waffles, French toast, cold or hot veggies, etc. I like the smooth, flowing rounded corners. The quality is good. It washes up easily in dishwasher (purple sticky rice tends to stick and leave purple marks on it, but a little scrub with a soft brush takes it off). The white shows off whatever I put on it, and the shape works well for any type food.Date published: 2017-03-10Rated 5 out of 5 by kittyb from Yet another versatile Pillivuyt platter I could not resist to add this my other Pillivuyt serving pieces. This too was on sale. Already used for a pork loin and a boneless turkey breast. It can be used for a variety of things, so of course I had to purchase. Love all of my platters, each one is different yet versatile!Date published: 2014-04-27Rated 5 out of 5 by KTKT from One of my favorite serving pieces This Pillivuyt Long Porcelain serving platter is a versatile, beautiful piece. It's substantial in feel (yet not weight) and accommodates a variety of dishes .. appetizers, sides, main course meat dishes from the grill, etc. I even used it to beautifully display baked goods on a dessert bar. It's dishwasher safe, scratch resistant and durable.

DescriptionFrom University Video Communications' catalog:
"Microorganisms make up a huge but largely unknown part of the biosphere. Developing a better understanding of the complex interactions between microorganisms and their surrounding environments, including soil, requires developing new methodolo-gies. Many of them rely heavily on computation techniques. Joseph provides some biological background, at a level accessible to a computer science audience. She then discusses the computational work that is currently being done in this area. Finally, she talks about the much larger collection of problems that remains unsolved."

The winner of the Daffy's apartment contest was announced yesterday: Kimberly Dawn Neumann, the only female finalist and a self-described "'girl like Carrie from Sex and the City'," who reportedly lives in Midtown. As her prize, Neumann will live at One Seventh Avenue South on the corner of Clarkson Street, a $7,000-a-month apartment for which she will be charged just $700 a month. In her entry, Neumann spoke of her wish to live in an apartment in which she could throw cocktail parties for her "hot friends." Neumann was one of 2,867 contestants who filmed a short video explaining why she wanted to be selected to live in the spot. The winner was not selected based on need, but on creativity of the video submission. Daffy's selected the top contestants, and their videos were put to a public vote to determine the grand prize winner. Neumann beat out four other finalists, including a young, struggling comedy performer living in a Washington Heights studio and an aspiring gospel singer who wanted a home where he and his wife could start a family.

"If you've ever tweeted about Bieber, texted about nipples or asked the Internet about vagina steam, we're on to you."
Consider us guilty three times over, Hasan Minhaj! On last night's "Failosophy," which featured the hilarious Nicole Byer of MTV's new series, "Girl Code," three Internet critics sorted through a particularly snatch-heavy batch of tales (something you wanna tell us, computer nerds…?). Among the sex craze, though, there were three flagrant #FAILs that stood above the rest.
First, as Hasan predicted might happen, one Internet user well-versed in the art of TMI decided to poll cyberspace about her koo-kah: "Why does steam come out of my vagina?" she asked. Uhh, care to field this one, ladies? At least she was able to remain anonymous, though — another poor soul revealed her face as she told the story of how sneezing in a masseuse's face got her a passive aggressive "karate chop to the vagina." Youch. And lastly, one horny audience member said she gave her friend's computer a virus by d-loading too much porn on it. The Geek Squad must've loved that one.
Which #FAIL stood above the rest? Tell us in the comments!

Continuing with Justice League of America #146, "Inner Mission!" Written by Steve Englehart, art by Dick Dillin and Frank McLaughlin.
The second part opens with Superman, Batman, and Green Arrow on their way to Atlantis, to check in with the Atom and Aquaman, who had fought the Construct before. Supes wonders why everyone on the team is "so mule-headed lately," which is weird for me to hear: rather than him being the guy with the team spirit, I'm much more accustomed to Supes begging off or being the first one out the door. Ollie and Bats are less concerned, believing the JLA has spirit, and is just pushing in new directions.
In Atlantis, Atom and Aquaman explain they fought and destroyed the Construct--the first one. This is a new one, which wouldn't know anything the first Construct had learned, but would still be mad for power. The Atom ditches his underwater globe-ship, noting the Construct could be in any machine, and hops between molecules into Ollie's air helmet. Ollie looks a little uncomfortable having Ray that close to his face.
The five heroes discuss their plans in a darkened war room, with no lights, computers, or other electronic equipment for the Construct to listen in. So, he instead takes over a nearby defense cannon, and opens fire. Aquaman takes it out pretty quickly, and the Atom takes advantage of the moment to use the computer to triangulate the Construct's position.
Meanwhile, in Vermont, the Red Tornado's body starts to walk...robot zombie! More after the break!
Wonder Woman leads her team, Black Canary and the Hawks, to Paradise Island. Hawkman came since he didn't want to be separated from his wife, which from just about anyone else would've been an excuse to get a visit to an island full of hot Amazons, but he means it. WW reminds him "No Man must ever set foot on out sacred ground!!" Which isn't a problem for Hawkman: with his anti-gravity belt, he can just float along, something that probably wouldn't have worked if he had to actually flap his wings. Hey, are the Amazons still doing that? I remember a house ad for Wonder Woman from about the same era, where a batch of Amazons with spears keep a shipwrecked sailor (or something) from dragging himself onto their shores. Meanies...
Shayera (I'm used to spelling it Shiera) takes her husband aside to say maybe he shouldn't have tried to push her JLA membership through. She definitely thinks she should be a member, but doesn't want to divide the JLA on the issue. Katar wants her in, and thinks it's just that no ones fought their stupid non-duplicating powers rule before.
Wonder Woman plans on using the Amazons' Memory Chair, to get to the bottom of her recent amnesia. Canary advises against it, since the Construct could get into that machine, but WW says Paradise Island is protected by defensive shields. That look like big floating playing card backs. While in the chair, the shields heat up, under attack; and in Vermont, Zombie Tornado tries to fly, and falls.
A surprisingly pissed off Wonder Woman remembers the Construct's control, and how it thinks. She had actually been controlled by a second Construct, making this one the third, and she vows, the last. The League regroups to beard the Construct in his lair:
The Construct's hideout is found pretty quickly, but the first robot body they find is empty. Left at a loss, Supes advises taking a break, since he has to get to work as Clark Kent. (This was during the GBS broadcast days, when Clark apparently worked an hour a day.) Before they can adjourn, the Red Tornado lurches in, barely.
Having been burned multiple times now, they are skeptical of Reddy's story. Superman, who seems a lot more take-charge than usual, advises Wonder Woman's squad to lock up the android, and takes his guys to Metropolis for dinner. Reddy makes a surprisingly impassioned speech, though, which convinces Hawkgirl and Wonder Woman that he's the real deal. Moreover, he can sense the Construct, who has just left...for the GBS building in Metropolis!
The third Construct has a pretty good scheme going: he's taken over the machines at GBS, and the people, including half the JLA, Lois Lane, and Jimmy Olsen. He announces any humans who feel anger, can be made to feel his anger, and become his slave. Red Tornado, still not at full strength (Hawkman carried him there) has to step up, falls once, but succeeds since the League believes in him.
With what she knows about the Construct now, Wonder Woman sets up "a continuous random-wave pattern in the ether," a broadcast of noise into space to keep another Construct from forming. And the JLA holds an off-panel election, bringing Red Tornado back into the fold, and making Hawkgirl official.
Not a bad issue, with some of the little character beats I like. Hawkman supporting his wife's membership is probably the coolest thing I can remember him doing, and Hawkgirl deserved it. I liked the Shiera/Mrs. Hawkman version of the character, in part because she just seemed nice. Red Tornado is more "alive" here than I can ever remember seeing him, and Black Canary gets in a nice line, that her and Ollie aren't matching bookends that have to be paired up. (I always have the same feeling about the Vision and Scarlet Witch, or Hank Pym and Janet Van Dyne in the Avengers.) While it's weird for me to see Superman seeming to really care about the League, it's also probably strange not to see Batman being the one bossing everyone around. Reading old stories like this, you can really chart where your feelings on the JLA come from. Well, I can, anyway...

We're pushing forwards with our pioneering open femto trial around the UK. How do you bring mobile signal to a place where there is none? Read on to find out.
Imagine you're a keen cyclist – one who often tours the country to take part in cycling events and festivals. Wherever you go, you'd probably expect to be able to post your times online, or to text your friends about how difficult it was on the old thigh muscles. But, until this year, that's been one of the Newcastleton Cycling Festival's downfalls – as a natural not-spot, the Scottish village has always been bereft of mobile phone signal. Until now…
Connecting the not-spots
Newcastleton follows on from our pilot 'open femto' trial in East Garston. Click here to read how all this got started.
Newcastleton is a small village just north of the Scottish border, and it's just become the latest place in our pioneering 'open femto' trial, which aims to bring reliable Vodafone signal to some of the UK's most notorious 'not-spots'. To celebrate the system going live, the Newcastleton community invited us up to a gathering to check out how having signal for the first time is making a difference to people's lives.
Welcome to the community
"I'm fortunate enough that we live in a community where everyone pulls together, and I don't think it would have happened were it not for the locations that have graciously donated their buildings for each open femto unit to get the system going." Those are the words of Barbara Elborn, Newcaslteton's 'community champion' for the open femto trial.
Barbara first applied when we launched the initial search back in 2011. Since then we've managed to whittle the list down to eleven worthy locations from a list of over 170, Newcastleton being one of them. Vodafone's team of technicians has now fixed open femtocell antennas to several spots around Newcastleton, and at the beginning of April this year the system was switched on, providing reliable coverage around the local area for Vodafone customers. And, as Barbara tells us, it's been timed perfectly:
"This weekend is the start of one of our village events – the cycling festival. There'll be 120-150 participants doing the Cyclosportive over the weekend. They've come here mainly because of the challenges and the beautiful scenery, but these people will also have come to expect that whenever they go anywhere they've got connectivity 24/7, because that's what it's all about now.
"Having Vodafone to enhance that for us is a huge leap forward," she says.
Hidden magic
Just as with our trial in Cranborne, Newcastleton's been gifted its new connectivity by a squad of our unique open femto antennas. These white boxes, each of which is small enough to fit into a carry-on suitcase, use the same technology as the smaller Vodafone Sure Signal box; each one acts as a mini base station that amplifies mobile signal in the immediate area. They're completely safe, and completely unobtrusive.
"News of the new tech has travelled at lightning pace.
The units are attached to some of Newcastleton's most important buildings, such as the fire station, the community centre and local pub/hotel The Grapes, but you'd have to go really go looking for them to spot them.
Hidden as they are, though, news of the new tech has travelled at lightning pace. Barbara explains: "I know already, even though the system only really got switched on yesterday, that lots of members of the public and community are using it already. We've had examples of tradesmen who've gone and bought a second phone in order to check in and order parts.
"The local trades – electricians, plumbers and the small businesses – have got two phones now, and are trying to bring that down to just one – on Vodafone. That's not anecdotal, that's reality."
Important for the Borders
That's great to hear, but it gets better: the news had spread much further afield than just to the local tradesmen and villagers. Michael Moore, MP for the Borders and Secretary of State for Scotland (pictured centre with Barbara), made a special appearance at the Newcastleton gathering to champion the new tech:
"I've been an MP for more than 15 years," he said, "and one of the biggest issues that people have been worried about in that time is the lack of access to mobile phone signal – particularly the data signals which are now a big part of our lives around the country.
"I'm delighted that Vodafone has brought forward this new technology and is trialling it here in Newcastleton," Michael told us, "because it could be life transforming.
"This allows people to go about their lives the way people can in other parts of the country."
"What this allows people do to here in Newcastleton is to go about their lives the way people can in other parts of the country. It means visitors will be able to enjoy the experiences they can anywhere else, and that's great because it stops us losing people to other parts of the country, but even better for people who live here all the time, as it brings them up to the top end of the technology spectrum."
And that's undoubtedly life-changing – whether you've just finished a grueling four-mile uphill cycling time trial, or if you simply want to text your friends and family from your own home. Stay tuned for more on our open femto trial, and click here for the story so far.

Under Armour is the second-largest sportswear brand, behind Nike, but the Baltimore-based company thinks it's going to be No. 1 soon, thanks in large part to its ambitious effort in fitness tech.
Over the past three years, the brand has invested heavily in fitness technology.Under Armour chief digital officer Robin Thurston told Digiday that Under Armour is "building the biggest connected fitness platform in the world."
The company's first fitness acquisition took place in 2013, when it purchased MapMyFitness (founded by Thurston) at the price of $150 million. It then spent an additional $560 million to buy MyFitnessPal and Endomondo, both fitness apps. But the company didn't lay the groundwork for its connected fitness business until last year, when it assembled a digital fitness community across its four mobile platforms: UA Record, MapMyFitness, Endomondo and MyFitnessPal.
At CES this year, Under Armour introduced two models of wireless headphones in collaboration with JBL, a smart shoe and an activity tracker, as well as HealthBox, a connected fitness system.
Thurston said that those products were designed so athletes no longer have to go through multiple registration experiences on different apps and all the data goes into a unified dashboard for their health.
"We constantly ask what's the minimum set that someone needs to start his or her health? Collectively, all the initiatives showcase that UA products are consistent and integrated," said Thurston.
The idea of integration sounds familiar: The new Nike+ app that is set to come out in June shares a similar model. Basically, Nike+ is a unified portal to the company's three existing Nike+ apps: Nike Running Club, Nike Training Club and Nike SNKRS.
Under Armour doesn't feel threatened. Thurston explained that the company's fitness collection is more focused on health than the shopping experience, providing information and tools for workouts, activity tracking and nutrition, both in the gym and outside of the gym. Most importantly, Under Armour creates a personalized coaching experience with its consumer data. For example, if a user's activities point to stress and his or her heart rate is 20 percent higher than the normal level, UA HealthBox will probably suggest a less intense workout or even no workout; otherwise, it would be dangerous for the user.
Digiday Hot Topic: Addressable TV
The Digiday Video Briefing
An exclusive, inside look at what's actually happening in the video industry, including original reporting, analysis of important stories and interviews with interesting executives and other newsmakers.
"I think this is very different from what Nike did with their strategy. It's not a marketing-driven initiative. It's a product-driven initiative," said Thurston. "Nike is a formidable competitor, but we have a nice lead in connected fitness right now."
Aside from Nike, digital fitness products like UA HealthBox also put Under Armour in direct competition with Fitbit and Apple in the growing wearables market. Connected fitness trackers are estimated to increase from more than $2 billion in 2014 to $5.4 billion by 2019, according to research company Park Associates.
"We expect to see a big jump for the 2015 year-end figure due to Fitbit's success in the U.S., and we continue to expect the fitness trackers to drive the category's growth in the next two years," said Harry Wang, director of health and mobile product for Parks Associates.
As of 2015, Fitbit had approximately 9.5 million active users, compared to Under Armour's 77 million (around 160 million registered users). "They are not even close to our scale and size," said Thurston. "We don't see Fitbit or Apple as our direct competitors. We still partner with them."
More sports apparel makers are looking to integrate fitness sensor technologies into their mainstream products. By the beginning of 2018, expect new smart shoes and smart shirts to be more affordable and intelligent than what's available now, said Wang.
Under Armour's connected fitness business – consisting of digital advertising, digital fitness platform licenses and subscriptions – hasn't yet become a big moneymaker for the company. In 2015, it only represented 1.3 percent of Under Armour's total revenue of around $3.9 billion, according to the company's annual report.

Here are some aphorisms, authored by the venerable Scientological theologian, John Travolta. I have found them a source of solace and guidance when troubled by the iniquities of the world. I hope you feel the same:
What are the wind, if not a gassy blowing?
Love as you would love a pig.
Dance as if you had no legs.
The wise man knows that wisdom is foolish.
Follow folly and you will find a fool.
We would all like to have clean pants, but who among us deserve them?
God is a dream, dreamed up by an alien.
Realise your hurt.
Argos is a brothel and its brochures are the brides of Satan.
'SNEEE' is the only word you need to know. All other words are frivolous.
Give your children to a bear. He would do the same for you.
Beneath the smiling veneer of the sitcom 'Happy Days' lurks a bottomless abyss of unholy unhappiness.

UPDATE | 9:15 A.M. Saturday, Dec. 1, 2012: DirecTV said this morning that it has a deal to prevent the blackout, though terms weren't disclosed. "Gannett and DirecTV have reached an agreement regarding DirecTV's continued retransmission of Gannett stations," DirecTV spokesman Robert Mercer said.
Less than two months after settling a messy dispute over retransmission fees with Dish Network, Gannett Broadcasting is once again going down to the wire in negotiations with Dish's satellite-TV rival DirecTV.
Gannett's KUSA, which includes 9News, Sunday Night Football and other programming, could go dark for DirecTV subscribers starting at midnight Friday.
DirecTV, the nation's largest satellite-TV operator, said Gannett has refused a request to extend talks, threatening to black out channels as a "negotiating tactic."

We certainly can't be the first film fan to say that 3-D technology is well-suited to the short film. We like the long 3-D movie, too -- obviously we all do, given the gigantic success of "Avatar" -- but seeing a bunch of brief stories flit by in glorious multi-dimensional form has its pleasures.
Those pleasures will be found at the Downtown Independent on Saturday, May 15. That's when the 7th Annual LA 3-D Movie Festival hands out the classic specs and buckles people in for an enter-the-movie ride.
The shorts start at 1 p.m. and there are two programs stretching throughout the afternoon. Then stay in the evening for a screening of Thomas Jane's "Dark Country." Thomas Jane of "Hung." He stars and directs. Like and like.
There will be awards, there will be hobnobbing, there will be a free demo on how to 3-D your own bad self.

He-Man script gets rave reviews!
El Mayimbe over at Latino Review recently read the first draft of the upcoming He-Man script that most people thought would be an absolute failure (although if you were fortunate to see the teaser that people were showing to the studios in order to get them to gain interest, you may have thought otherwise). In any case, he says this is an A+ script. The film is currently titled Grayskull: Masters of the Universe.
/film has posted a nice summary of 5 key reasons why this film will RULE.
1. This is not He-Man for kiddies! It's written as a hard and edgy PG-13 film tinkering on the edge of an R-Rating. And remember, PG-13 is the new R. You can get away with so much more now-a-days, especially when set in a fantasy environment like Eternia.
2. The story is described as "Lord of the Rings meets The Matrix meets Batman Begins." An epic battle for Eternia which begins with the origins of He-Man, Skeletor, and the Power Sword. Prince Adam has to "overcome his selfish need for revenge and realize his destiny for the greater good of his people" and "find the Sword of Light" in the hidden Castle Grayskull and "unify his kingdom."
3. Included are Fan favorite characters Zodack, Mekanek, Man-at-armsS, Teela, Evil-Lyn, Trap-Jaw, Tri-Klops, Beast Man, Battlecat and Panthor. And best yet, Orko is no where in sight!
4. All the corniness of the animated series is completely GONE. There isn't even a "single beat of comedic relief" in the entire script. Treat the property with realism, what a concept!
5. Grayskull is a geek's wet dream, "the perfect marriage of Sorcery and Science fiction where in Eternia both Fantasy and Technology co-exist." The script mixes "high tech, swords, and otherworldly creatures." Imagine the possibilities!
The full script review provides many more details and is packed full of goodness. Check it out here!
Justin Marks, the writer is currently fan-boy gold when it comes to scripts. There have been rave reviews so far of his Voltron script as well as his Supermax script which was recently revealed to be the script for the upcoming Green Arrow film.
Here also is the NON OFFICIAL teaser that supposedly has been what people have been bringing along to the studios when shopping around the film

Girls hoops squads get ready for district play
With District 5-5A girls basketball play starting next week, Burleson and Centennial each played its last Tuesday night non-district games.
Centennial collected a win while Burleson fell at home.
The Lady Spartans won on the road defeating Saginaw, 62-36, behind 17 points each from Kertisa Amos and Ne'Khyria Rogers.
Centennial played good defense all night. After allowing 12 points in the first quarter, the Lady Spartans held the Lady Rough Riders to single-digit scoring in the final three quarters.
The Lady Spartans (7-8) have the weekend off before hosting Mansfield Legacy, the No. 15 ranked team in Class 5A in the most recent Texas Association of Basketball Coaches poll.
Burleson came up short at home in a 43-36 loss to Mineral Wells.
"Tonight's game is our season so far," Burleson coach Curtis Enis said. "We played really well both offensively and defensively in spurts. Our defense is active and we are rebounding well and then we go four minutes without scoring."
Rylee Moseley led the Lady Elks in scoring with 11 points.
Burleson (2-7) opens play today at the Midlothian Heritage Tournament. The Lady Elks begin district play Tuesday at Crowley.
Lady Elks host tournament
Playing with just seven on the roster Saturday, Burleson's girls' basketball team lost to Waco University, 65-39, in the seventh-place game at the Lady Elk Classic.
Burleson went 1-4 at the tournament.
"I was really proud of the seven kids I had today," Burleson coach Curtis Enis said. "They were a gutsy group. They competed hard from start to finish."
The Lady Elks were short players because some were taking the SAT and another was at an out-of-state soccer tournament.
Trinitee Johnson and Emily White each scored 10 points to lead Burleson. Grace Paden added seven points.
University's Desirae Mathis scored a game-high 30 points.
Wolfforth Frenship, the No. 24 ranked team in Class 6A, took the tournament title with a 57-54 victory over Mesquite Horn on Saturday. Brock beat Mansfield Lake Ridge, 41-32, to finished third. In the fifth-place game, Everman topped Saginaw, 62-53 and Saginaw Chisholm Trail defeated Justin Northwest, 32-19, for ninth-place.
The third quarter was not kind to the Lady Elks on Friday as they dropped a pair of games.
Burleson found itself tied with Saginaw, 20-20, at halftime in its first game on Friday then scored four points in the third quarter as the Lady Elks lost 44-37.
White finished with eight points while Moseley, Johnson, and Renner scored six points each.
In the second game on Friday, Burleson held a 22-18 lead over Brock at halftime then scored four points in the third quarter as the Lady Elks lost 42-37.
Caitlyn Kirkham scored 11 points. Moseley, Renner, and White each scored five points.
Burleson opened the tournament with a 39-31 victory over Justin Northwest Thursday morning.
Moseley and Renner each scored nine points and Kamryn Johnson tallied eight points.
In their second game on Thursday, the Lady Elks lost to Mesquite Horn, 47-43. Horn's N'yah Boyd scored 10 of her game-high 21 points in the fourth quarter.
Moseley paced the Lady Elks with 13 points while Renner and White scored nine points each.
Lady Spartans finish fifth
The Lady Spartans found their groove over the weekend as they finished fifth at the Van Griffith Kia Invitational in Granbury.
Amos scored 15 points and Trystan Clark finished with 14 points as Centennial defeated Coppell, 48-38, Saturday for fifth-place.
"It was a great tournament for us," Centennial coach Valerie Wootan said. "We got to see four very different types of teams. I thought the girls really did some great things on both the offensive and defensive ends. Our team chemistry is starting to come together."
The Lady Spartans reached the fifth-place game by beating Coppell in overtime, 50-46, Friday. Centennial outscored the Lady Cowboys, 6-2, in overtime.
Clark tallied 14 points and Amos scored 13 points.
Earlier on Friday, the Lady Spartans fell to Hurst L.D. Bell, 82-59, in a winner's bracket game. Clark scored 15 points and Amos scored 12 points.
The Lady Spartans scored 20 points in the first quarter of their opening-round game Thursday and went on to a 51-34 victory over Lubbock Coronado.
Amos led Centennial in scoring with 19 points and Rogers finished with 13 points.

We live quite busy lives. From balancing family obligations to work commitments, social engagements and, of course, our service to our local church ministry, it is often difficult to consider adding one more thing to the list. With that reality, you may be wondering why revival is important now. Why is it worth the time and effort to spend two nights in revival with your CTUCC family?
The UCC believes that "the persistent search for God produces an authentic relationship with God, engendering love, strengthening faith, dissolving guilt, and giving life purpose and direction." Today, our world is in need of an authentic relationship with God that engenders love and strengthens faith. We are inundated with divisive messages and troubling realities that plague our world. Revival is the answer! The power that is shared during our revival time is guaranteed to galvanize us for the journey ahead. When we join in joyous music and faithful worship, our spirits are fed. Our spirits will be strengthened by powerful preaching from the Rev. Dr. Susan K. Smith on Friday night and (my pastor) the Rev. Keith A. Bolton on Saturday night.
Isaiah 40:28-31 says, "Have you not known? Have you not heard? The LORD is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. God does not faint or grow weary; God's understanding is unsearchable. God gives power to the faint, and to them who have no might God increases strength. Even youths shall faint and be weary, and young shall fall exhausted; but they who wait for the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint."
Need strengthened for the journey? Join me on Friday and Saturday, October 13 and 14, 7 pm at the Spring Glen Church in Hamden to be revived.

Gibbs stokes Dems' Nov. anxiety
Robert Gibbs says he merely "stated the obvious" in predicting Republicans could win control of the House in November.
But Democratic strategists are privately grumbling that the White House press secretary gift-wrapped a bludgeon and handed it to the GOP.
Story Continued Below
"It was the dumbest thing in the world to do," one major Democratic money-bundler told POLITICO. "Barack Obama doesn't understand this [election] is a referendum on his agenda."
Gibbs' perhaps too-candid remarks about losing the House has exacerbated Democratic anxieties about the prospect of fighting a political war on two fronts, against Republicans and their own White House.
And they privately express concern that President Barack Obama and his aides are willing to sacrifice Democratic seats — and perhaps the majority — to protect Obama's brand heading into the 2012 election. Gibbs's remarks are particularly galling, several Democrats say, because they feel that the White House is focused on Senate races and has done too little to help keep the speaker's gavel in Nancy Pelosi's hands.
"It's the difference between stating the obvious and disheartening Democrats and stating the obvious and emboldening Democrats," said a strategist who is working on 2010 elections. "Guess which he did?"
But even as they criticize his remarks, Democrats aren't challenging the accuracy of Gibbs's assertion – they're just questioning the political wisdom behind his forthcoming answer.
White House spokesman Bill Burton, a former DCCC aide, said there's a natural tension between the White House, which has to balance the president's time and energy, and the campaign arms of the House and Senate Democratic caucuses.
"There's never going to be a situation where a party committee feels that a president of their party is doing enough," Burton said. "That's why the DCCC is so successful. They've got such an aggressive committee and they're always asking us to do as much as possible."
Indeed, White House aides say Gibbs's remarks have been overplayed. One aide said the media is reporting on "a piece of what he said" rather than "the arc" of his argument.
House Democrats have been trying to strike the delicate balance of motivating their troops to work hard in November without arming the GOP by saying they may lose the House. Perhaps Gibbs was simply trying to match that balance. But his remarks sounded off the mark to some Democrats.
Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee Chairman Chris Van Hollen (D-Md.) recalibrated Gibbs's words a bit, framing them as a concession of the "mathematical" possibility that Republicans could win the House rather than the more charged observation that there are "enough seats in play that could cause Republicans to gain control."
"What [Gibbs'] comments highlight is the choice people will be making," Van Hollen said. "To the extent it got people to focus on the choice, it crystallized what's at stake."
