Report: Red Sox 'players-only meeting' ignited run
What turned it around for the Red Sox after Josh Beckett's Thursday Night Nightmare and epic fail against the Indians on May 10?
According to Fox Sports' Ken Rosenthal, David Ortiz called a players-only meeting before the next day's game during which "the hitters challenged the pitchers" to step things up.
The revelation of the meeting came to light during Saturday night's telecast of the Red Sox-Phillies game from Philadelphia. Rosenthal said the "meeting grew heated" and that the overall theme of the meeting was "taking responsibility" and that it "cleared the air."
The Red Sox won five straight in the wake of the reported meeting and six of eight heading into Saturday night's affair.
Given how well the team played following its internal rap session (as opposed to Bobby V.'s "Nightly Wrap"), you have to wonder what took so long? Facing the Indians and Mariners probably didn't hurt either. But this certainly reinforces the notion that the players are running things in the Red Sox clubhouse. Bet the affair wasn't catered by Popeye's.
When can we get a transcript?
Update: Here's a no-so-exclusive video of what could have been the meeting. (Is that Beckett in the cowboy hat?):

Bird flu: one virus, many challenges
This year has seen the H5N1 bird flu virus spread further and faster than ever before. In this article in Nature, Declan Butler interviews researchers in some of the countries affected.
Disease researcher Andrew Jeremijenko describes how Indonesia has become a bird flu hotspot, and says delays in detecting and reporting the disease remain a problem.
Les Sims, a consultant for the UN Food and Agriculture Organization, says Thailand's innovative door-to-door monitoring programme has done much to help control outbreaks there.
According to virologist Shahid Jameel, two major problems in India are a lack of public communication, and a lack of laboratories to detect infections.
Nigeria is also short of detection facilities, with only one diagnostic laboratory, says Claude Muller of the World Health Organization. He argues that poultry farming is so important in Africa that vaccinating flocks is the only way forward.
But virologist Guan Yi points out that this approach has led to problems of its own in China, where poultry are still shedding the virus in markets despite the country's extensive vaccination campaigns.

As Spitzer greeted lines of well-wishers at the Governor's Mansion, I spotted Sen. Chuck Schumer in the Empire State Plaza Concourse, which has been transformed into a subterranean street fair, randomly greeting anyone who recognized him. Schumer was accompanied by just an aid or two and he appeared to have no set agenda or timetable, other than visiting the concourse.
Goings on at the concourse, by the way, had a different feel from the inauguration speech, which appeared to be attended largely by campaign workers, lobbyists, activists or others with some connection to the business of government. The plaza, with an array of food offerings including Buffalo chicken wings and New York City knishes, also featured kids' activities such as make-your-own model subway cars and free music.
And some of the visitors were apolitical folks, just looking to have a good time. "We're going to get something to eat," said Ellen Putnam of Scotia, N.Y. who was there with a friend Bill Taylor. They had one some of the lottery tickets for the free James Taylor concert later in the evening and stopped by the plaza-cum-giant-food-court to check things out. Â

Q. I've heard that a fetus will respond to different foods in the mother's diet. Can a fetus taste what its mother eats?
A. Research has shown that food experiences and preferences do, indeed, start in the womb. A fetus is exposed to the flavors and smells of its mother's diet through the amniotic fluid that surrounds it. By the last trimester, the fetus is inhaling and swallowing large amounts of this fluid, and the sensory systems to detect taste and smell are already functioning. A mother's diet can influence the smell and flavor of her amniotic fluid as well as her breast milk after the baby is born.
The development of food preferences in the womb was first shown in other mammals; rabbits whose mothers were fed juniper berries during pregnancy were more likely to forage for juniper after birth. Julie Mennella, a researcher at the Monell Chemical Senses Center in Philadelphia, has shown that the same phenomenon occurs in humans. In one study, 46 pregnant women were divided into three groups: One drank carrot juice during pregnancy and plain water after, one drank water and then carrot juice, and one group avoided carrot juice during the study period. When the babies began weaning to solid foods, researchers gave them the option of plain cereal or cereal mixed with carrot juice. Babies whose mothers had consumed carrot juice during pregnancy or while breastfeeding ate more of the carrot-flavored cereal and showed fewer negative facial responses to it.
Mennella says in-the-womb experience helps babies learn from their mothers which foods are available, desirable, and safe to eat. It provides yet another reason why eating a varied diet that includes plenty of fruits and vegetables is important during pregnancy and while breastfeeding. "When you eat these foods, you're giving the child the opportunity to learn to like them,'' she says. It's also another reason to avoid alcohol and tobacco while pregnant - both can change the flavor of amniotic fluid, and Mennella has found that babies exposed to alcohol in the womb have a stronger preference for the scent of alcohol.

Assault Squadron in review – Take out the aliens high and low
I'm still on a quest to find the ultimate scrolling shooter for the iPhone, and so far my top choice doesn't even have a full version available! So the real question is – where does Assault Squadron rank in my search? Well, it's definitely not the ultimate shooter. It's fun, but a bit too short. It also doesn't push some of it's concepts as far as it could. I think there's a lot of potential for the game, but at the moment it rises above but doesn't tower over mediocrity.
Assault Squadron's story is your standard "aliens attack the earth and you must defend it" type affair. I do like the fact that you start off by taking out the aliens' floating headquarters before dealing with the ground level assault – it's sort of like the generic version of the Death Star battle. Anyway, you fight two levels to destroy the mothership, then head down to the earth for another four to cleanse the alien infestation from Earth. In a nice change of pace from most shooters, the game sports both horizontal and vertical scrolling levels, so you get the best of both worlds from that perspective.
Game play is pretty standard "blow up everything in sight", and each ship has a primary and secondary weapon to accomplish this task, as well as bombs. Primary weapons are fired automatically, secondary weapons are fired by holding down a big S in the bottom right corner of the screen, and bombs are used by pressing the B button or double tapping the screen. Given the position of the B button, you'll probably be tapping the action as well as the button.
There are four different possible controls schemes, but the only one I cared for was the mode where the ship travels to where your finger is pressed. There is a similar mode that uses "relative" movement, but that didn't flow well for me. Tilt control saw my ship going all over the place, and the virtual joystick seemed too restrictive. There are three ships to choose from with a fourth that can be unlocked. Personally, other than one ship lasting longer than another, they didn't seem to play much differently to me. This seems to be a widespread problem with shooters that offer multiple ships, and I wish someone could figure out the key to making the gaming experience feel different depending on your choice.
The game sports three difficulty levels, but there needs to be better balance. Casual is too easy, and the game can be completed in about 20 minutes if you don't watch the cut scenes. However, I found myself dying quite easily on Normal mode. I didn't even try Expert mode because I get embarrassed easily, even when I'm by myself. Assault Squadron also either needs a few more levels or longer levels, because six short levels aren't enough.
The graphics are really nice, most notably when it comes to the backgrounds. I love how they tied the levels together, especially with having the defeated boss from the previous level show up in the background of the next level a couple of times. The ship designs have an insect like motif, which was a nice change from the standard, but they should have done more with it. Even if the designs wouldn't have been practical, make them look cool. That's the great part about alien technology – we don't need to understand it, we just want it to appear outrageous. A couple more ship types would have been nice as well.
Sound effects are what you'd expect, with nice little voiceovers telling you your weapons have been upgraded. I really like the music. I'm pretty sure there's a separate track for each level, though there doesn't appear to be special boss music. Either way, I highly suggest you balance the audio so music is maximized and the sound effects are just in the background. I think that's the optimal experience for this game.
So is Assault Squadron the king of the hill? No, but it's a fun little game. A better balancing of difficulty levels and longer / more levels would certainly make it a strong contender. Still, I've played Causal mode through three or four times now without getting bored, so that has to count for something, right?

Can you see the Woods from the Par Threes
If there was a tournament for Tiger Woods to get back to winning ways, then this is it. He hosts his annual get together of golf buddies who shoot it out for a $5m prize fund, of which the winner gets $1.2m.
The defending champion is Northern Ireland's Graeme McDowell but he isn't participating this year. He beat the host and this year's favourite, Tiger, in a playoff last year.
Despite hosting the event Tiger only just managed to gain entry due to the fact his world ranking has slipped so much. The former World Number One has stated his intent to play a full 2012 season, and as such he will look to start in the best way possible. At 11/4 he is mirroring the prices that would have been quoted about him at his peak. But with a field that includes Jim Furyk and Jason Day, it may appear a little too short. His performance in the Presidents Cup was somewhat flattering and inflated due to the fact he holed 'the winning putt'. His best finish this year was a T4 at the Masters.
Keegan Bradley (18/1) is the only major winner taking part this year. The 25 year old is no longer a Tour unknown after he stunned the golfing world with his impressive win at the PGA Championship. The American has watched the tournament every year, but I'm sure he never envisaged that he would be participating in it, at least not so soon into his career. The rookie will have no fear going into the season ending event and is sure to put it up to the big boys, he could well be worth an each way shout.
Steve Stricker (16/1) is the highest ranked player in the field, the veteran will be taking on his Presidents Cup partner Tiger Woods. Although the duo didn't hit the highs of their previous pairings this was not down to Steve, rather a lame Tiger. Stricker also has the highest putting average in the field and has the best Birdie average. His short game at the moment is on fire but he may be let down by his driving.
Jason Day (14/1) is one to watch, the Australian has had a sensational 2011 and claiming the $1.2m first prize here would be the perfect end. The only real blip came in his home tournament, the Australia Open when he finished T6 and has limited the amount of visits to Australia he can have next year. He has only missed the cut three times all year, not that there is one for this tournament, but it gives an indication to the consistency of his play. His ability to scramble is among the best in the game and this could serve him well over a tricky course. At 2/1 he is a good bet for best Rest of the World player.
Bubba Watson (20/1) had a blow out at the Australia Open, he went into the final day one stroke off the lead, but after he shanked his first drive of the day things went from bad to worse. He eventually tied for 12th at 7 under, a long way off from where he started. But he can never be discounted and his three tour wins this season are testament to that.

for National Geographic News
Filled with larger-than-life heroes and epic battles, they may be the most accessible of all medieval literature and a source of inspiration to classic authors like J.R.R. Tolkien.
Yet many people have never heard of the Icelandic sagas.
Written by unknown authors in Iceland in the 13th and 14th centuries, the sagas contain 40 narratives, describing the life of Icelanders in the Viking age immediately before and after the year 1000. This was a time when they abandoned ancient gods and adopted Christianity.
The early Icelanders also traveled westwards, culminating in what many believe is the true first voyage by a European to North America: Leif Eiriksson's expedition, described in the sagas as having taken place a thousand years ago.
Although the Vikings themselves did not write the Icelandic sagasthe stories were constructed centuries after the end of the Viking agethe sagas may provide the most detailed accounts of Viking life.
Today the sagas are part of Iceland's daily consciousness, and they are celebrated both for their historical record and their narrative artistry.
"The sagas of Icelanders, being renowned as outstanding masterpieces of literature, rank with the world's greatest literary treasures, such as the epics of Homer, the Greek tragedy, and the plays of William Shakespeare," said Alma Gudmundsdottir, curator of the Icelandic Saga Center in Hvolsvöllur, a village in southern Iceland.
Fact and Fantasy
Iceland has no pre-historic era. It was not settled until around A.D. 900, when the Scandinavians arrived in search of new farmland. Shortly after, an influx of people from the British Isles brought Celtic influences to Iceland, though the language remained predominantly Nordic. Before long, the Icelanders saw themselves as a separate nation.
The only written monuments of the Vikings themselves are runic inscriptions, which are often brief and laconic, and not very informative. British and French clergy, who were attacked by the Vikings, described the raiders as savages.
The sagas, on the other hand, portray the settlers in a favorable light. A blend of fact and fantasy, their actions span the whole world known to the Vikings, but center on the unique settler society they founded in Iceland.

DOJ Sues Anti-Abortion Protester
Women's health activists have come to expect throngs of protesters in front of clinics. Some even know the protesters by name. Unfortunately, abortion opponents are commonplace at clinics, regardless of the wide array of services provided by those clinics.
Despite the existence of a federal law designed to protect clinic patients and staff, oftentimes those protesters go beyond the waiving of signs and singing of hymns. The law, Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act, or FACE, is nearly twenty years old and is designed specifically to prevent protesters from interfering with access to clinics that provide abortion services. But like most laws, its only as effective as its enforcement and over the past ten years its enforcement has been all but non-existent. After its passage in 1994 a total of 69 lawsuits have been filed. Only 25 of those were filed since 2000.
That may be changing though. US Attorney General Eric Holder filed suit last week, seeking an injunction preventing notorious Florida abortion protester Mary Susan Pine from entering any driveway leading to the clinic and anyone associated with her from blocking women from entering the clinic. If the Department of Justice is successful Pine would face a $10,000 fine.
The lawsuit comes after a promise made by Holder to vigorously enforce FACE in the wake of the murder of Dr. Tiller, an abortion provider who was gunned down at his church in Wichita, Kansas by anti-abortion zealot Scott Roeder. Just a week before Dr. Tiller's murder, Roeder was seen gluing the locks of Dr. Tiller's clinic–in violation of FACE–before ultimately escalating his actions to murder. This represents the sixth lawsuit filed by DOJ since Dr. Tiller's death.
And that is the whole purpose of FACE- to prevent ideologues from having their actions escalate from vandalism to murder. It's not too simple to ask that had FACE enforcement been taken seriously would Dr. Tiller's murder have been prevented?
Like Roeder, Pine has a criminal history of harassing clinic patients and staff. In 2003 she was charged with trespassing on clinic grounds. The clinic has also been the target of escalating violence, including an unsolved 2006 fire.
And like Roeder, Pine insists that she is the victim here as the lawsuit represents some effort to squelch her First Amendment rights. But Pine is not protesting outside a government office, she is protesting outside private property–a medical clinic to be exact. Which is why more and more women's health practitioners are embracing moving abortion services into general care facilities as an effort to stamp down abusive protesting tactics. This Florida suit makes a good argument as to why this kind of move should happen.

Sorry, no definitions found. Check out and contribute to the discussion of this word!
Sorry, no etymologies found.
Police in the resort community of Aspen, Colorado collared the Two and a Half Men star after an alleged knife-wielding throwdown with wife Brooke Mueller.
An Austrian police official said Thursday that a woman last month refused demands by a knife-wielding man to give him 400 euros ($570) from an ATM – but she then handed over 90 euros ($130) out of pity after he put away his weapon, took off his mask and told her that he was homeless and broke.
The knife-wielding daemon staggered to his feet, one arm hanging loose at his side.
The simmering conflict boiled over in November in the desert city of Laayoune, about 130 miles from Amgala, as knife-wielding gangs attacked unarmed Moroccan security officers, killing 11.
Kathleen can attest that it wasn't martial magic that saved her in a bloody struggle against a knife-wielding rapist.

But I wonder how the government proposes to make it safe for ANYONE in this country to take a short-cut through parkland without being accosted by knife-wielding lunatics?
Meanwhile, the Press Complaints Commission hovers around the fringes of the whole mess like an ineffectual supply teacher at a playground gang-fight, politely asking the knife-wielding combatants to adhere to Queensberry rules.
For now it seems to me there are only two answers: wipe out all men I'm not alone in never having imagined a knife-wielding woman in my bedroom or try hypnotherapy.

Cynthia Leitich Smith, author of several acclaimed books for young readers, developed an interest in writing children's literature at a young age. She was "Dear Gabby" for her sixth grade newspaper, and she edited her junior high and high school newspapers. Following graduation from journalism school at the University of Kansas and from Michigan Law School in Ann Arbor, she began writing fiction. She is recipient of the 2001 Wordcraft Circle Award for children's literary prose. Her latest novel, "Tantalize "(Candlewick, 2007), marks her debut as an author of dark fantasy for young adults. A tribal member of the Muscogee (Creek) Nation, she lives in Austin, Texas.
Previous National Book Festival Appearances
The Scoop
From the 2007 National Book Festival
What sparked your imagination for writing your first gothic fantasy book Tantalize?
I've always been a voracious reader, and I'm known for keeping up on new releases. But I also have a love of the classics. Tantalize was inspired by Bram Stoker's Dracula. I was intrigued by Stoker's decision to cast a Texan, Quincey P. Morris, as one of Van Helsing's vampire hunters. Building on this tradition, I decided to bring the mythology "home" to Texas and update it to modern day. As part of this, I created my own protagonist, Quincie P. Morris of Austin, Texas. My Quincie is a strong, ambitious teen girl trying to save her family's Italian restaurant by re-launching it with a vampire theme. It's a great idea, too, until some real vampires show up.
What challenges do you face in your writing process? How do you overcome them?
For me, the rough draft is the toughest part of the process. Though I love to revise, to reinvent and polish, the vast wasteland of initial nothingness is scary. To conquer it, I do a lot of prewriting. I flip through magazines for photo models of my characters. I write letters to myself in their voices. I find songs that seem to reflect their personalities. I also stop writing each day while I still have more ideas and jot down notes that will be waiting for me when I come back. That way, I only face the blank page once, when I'm working on my first line.
The weird part? I almost always toss that first draft, delete the file and start over anyway, armed with knowledge of my characters and world that will allow me to build on a stronger foundation for draft two.
What tips or advice can you share with young students who hope to start writing? Can you provide an inspiring writing topic to get them started?
Read broadly and with joy. Challenge yourself to try new genres. If you're a fan of contemporary fiction, try a historical novel. If you're a fan of prose, try a novel in poetry.
Keep in mind, too, that story is part of our everyday lives. Take time to appreciate the storytellers around you, especially your elders. Listen to your grandparents' generation.
For an exercise, write a description of your home and family from the point of view of a visitor from outer space.

3) While there is no shortage of coffee options–everything from a re-imagined Starbucks mermaid to Nespresso lover George Clooney taking a sip–Deviant Art, based in Hollywood, may have the ultimate java brainstorm. Given the way President Trump tweets at 3 a.m., this is probably the way he takes his #covfefe.

Here are five tests of possible upcoming Facebook features seen 'in the wild' in the last week.
In order to maintain their position as the leading social media platform in the world, Facebook's constantly trying out new measures and testing new tools in order to boost user engagement and keep you inside Facebook's digital walls for longer.
As such, there are always limited tests and features being pushed out, minor updates that may not make big waves, but are still relevant and worth highlighting.
To help provide some additional context on these smaller tweaks and tests, we're co-ordinating them into a weekly update to help keep you abreast of what Facebook's trying out, where they're focused and what you should be watching for in future.
Here are five smaller tests or updates seen 'in the wild' in the last week.
1. Active Admins
Facebook's very keen to own the growing messaging space, which they largely do, in western nations at least, through their ownership of both Messenger and WhatsApp. But messaging could be so much more – there are bots, there are new engagement options – Facebook sees so much more opportunity in personalized, one-on-one, brand to consumer engagement.
To help foster such connection, Facebook's testing out a new notification which lets Page visitors know when the Page admin is actually logged in an active, prompting you to send a message to start a conversation with them.
The update, spotted by The Next Web's Matt Navarra, could become a headache for social managers if it's rolled out more widely – if more users start taking it up, it could mean an ever-growing mass of e-mails to respond to every time you log in.
But then again, it could also prompt more engagement, and ultimately, more conversions from those connections.
No word from Facebook as to whether this will be rolled out to all users.
2. Adding Posts and Check-Ins to Albums
Facebook's albums feature is an easy way to group your photos and better categorize and present your images. But what if you could add more than just photos to albums. Like, maybe, posts within albums, or check-ins – and not just you, but other contributors?
Well now, some users can.
As you can see, some users are now able to add 'posts, check-ins and more' to their albums, which creates a sort of event page within your profile.
As you can see, the posts sit in between any images – you can choose to share the album with whomever you want, and who can also add updates to the page.
It's another way for Facebook to encourage more group interaction and engagement, within a closed environment, in order to make Facebook the home for your collective memories.
3. Total Saves
You know how many Likes your Facebook post got, how many Reactions, how many shares. But how many times was it saved? That's the key question.
I mean, it's probably not, but it might be interesting to know either way.
Some users are seeing a new listing on their posts for total Saves.
More data is always better, and there's definitely some contextual relevance to be had here – particularly given 250 million people use the 'Save' option every month. But it's hard to see how it adds anything of major significance to your analytics.
Like, just because they saved it, doesn't mean they read it.
But then again, just because they shared it doesn't mean they did either, so…
4. 'Community' Tab
Facebook ads expert Mari Smith has also reported a new change to her Facebook Page, with the 'Likes' tab replaced by a new 'Community' page.
As you can see, there are various new elements here – the current 'Likes' tab shows 'People talking about this' and new Likes gained, whereas this new layout focuses on related videos and images and… well, the wider community, as opposed to the metrics.
The focus appears to be on avoiding the skew of base numbers, broadening the perspective to actual impact and engagement – it doesn't matter how many Likes a Page has, necessarily, it matters who their audience is and how active they are. This new option aims to highlight the benefits of community and activity over a static graph, which could be better for prompting more engagement and involvement.
5. Facebook Learning
And the last significant test seen in the last week is a new option to create education courses within the Facebook eco-system.
This one again comes from Mari Smith – as you can see, on Smith's 'Inner Circle' Group Page, she's been able to post a new education course unit on Facebook ads.
Smith posted several other images from the course creation process – first, there's a prompt to add units and courses on the Group page to build the offering.
You then need to enter all the details of the unit, which goes into the course structure.
Each unit is then added to the course tree for students to take.
It's very interesting to see Facebook moving into online education – though it makes sense, given the increased emphasis on Groups of late (more than a billion people use Facebook Groups every month) and the integration of Groups with Facebook Pages.
Adding educational content to Page-linked Groups seems a fairly logical step – though it's one that will no doubt have online education providers raising their eyebrows as they consider the implications of Facebook's reach and influence stretching into their market.
All of these functions are in test mode, and we have limited information on their future availability – which, of course, is the whole point of testing. But it's interesting to see where The Social Network is looking, and what you should maybe prepare for in the near future.

The Chevy Vega - A Different Perspective
Oct 27, 2011 | Views: 1,687
AMC in contrast, spent all of 5 million to convert an existing Hornet compact into the Gremlin, selling it for about the same price as the Vega which was new from the ground up, sharing nothing with existing vehicles.
Introduced September 1970 starting at $2090. no other car company in the world was able to invest hundreds of millions of dollars on a vehicle to sell in that price range, and GM made little or no profit on the Vega which was usually ordered with few options (GM's profits came from expensive options).
But in a rush to bring the car to market, numerous piecemeal "fixes" were performed by dealers and Chevrolet's "bright star", received an enduring black eye despite a continuing development program which eventually alleviated most of these initial shortcomings.
Motor Trend selected the Vega one of the 10-Best cars of 1971 and awarded the Vega 1971 Car of the Year.
Car and Driver readers voted the Vega "Best Economy Sedan" for 1971, 1972, and 1973 in C&D's Readers Choice Polls.
By 1974, the Vega was among the top 10 best-selling American cars. By 1976, the car had received five years of improvements (300 new part numbers in '76 alone) but the smaller, lower priced Chevette was introduced the same year, and the handwriting was on the wall.
The liner-less aluminum/silicon engine technology that GM and Reynolds Metals developed turned out to be sound. Mercedes-Benz and Porsche use sleeveless aluminum engines today, the basic principles of which were developed for the Vega engine.
Motor Trend said in 1971, "So, the Chevrolet Vega 2300 is Motor Trend's 1971 Car of the Year by way of engineering excellence, packaging, styling and timeliness. As such, we are saying that for the money, no other American car can deliver more."
Motor Trend Classic said in 2010, "Chevrolet spun the Vega as a more American, upscale car. And let's face it, the car looked hot. So can you blame us for falling hook, line, and sinker for the Vega and naming it 1971's Car of the Year?"
"..well-maintained examples are great looking, nice-driving, economical classics.."
Motor Trend Classic said in 2013, "Overblown - The China Syndrome might have overhyped the TMI (Three-Mile Island) incident as bad press might have exaggerated the Vega's woes."

- I didn't realize that GM had that much invested in the car, but considering all the new technology they brought to bear in the one car, I guess it isn't too surprising. I'm sure Ford didn't invest half as much in their new-for-1971 "Barbecue", er, "Pinto"!
- Nov 2, 2011 at 8:37 pm
- Yes, a nice looking car. My boyfriend (now hubby) had a red '73 4 speed that his mom bought him when she traded in his '71 Charger R/T after he lost his license for drag racing. He taught me how to drive a manual so I could chauffeur him to the usual hang outs until he got his license back. Threw a rod through the block in less than one year. The guys at the parts store got to know me by name since I was up there constantly picking up parts for the repair.
That said, these many years later we still love looking at photos of that old Vega in the family photo album.
Thanks for the link to the great article!

PERQUIMANS COUNTY, N.C. (WVEC) -- Sheriff's deputies charged a Perquimans County High School student with Assault after a fight Thursday morning that left several teachers and administrators injured.
Superintendent Matthew Cheeseman told 13News Now the fight began shortly before 9 a.m. while students were changing classes.
Two boys started the fight which Cheeseman said appeared to be related to an off-campus incident that took place Wednesday.
Soon after the boys began fighting, three other students joined them.
Thirteen school district employees were hurt as a result of trying to stop the fight. They included teachers, administrators, and a district official.
Cheeseman said although most of the injuries were bruises, cuts, and scrapes, the family member of one teacher took her to an urgent care facility where a doctor diagnosed her with a concussion.
He said one student threw a fire extinguisher that ended up hitting a staff member.
Although deputies charged only one student, charges are pending against the other four students.
All five students involved are currently suspended until further notice.
"We held a faculty meeting after school. I praised all of our adults for their efforts but no student should feel unsafe here tomorrow. This is what we believe is an isolated incident between two students and then three others got involved in and from there all 5 will not be at school tomorrow," said Cheeseman.
Officials will review video from three different angles from the school's cameras as part of the investigation.

Folive Birthday
Olive POV
I got the next morning feeling furious with Fletcher. How could he lie to me? Iput my thoughts aside as Igot ready for school. As I walked into the kitchen I walked into the kitchen to see my mother at the stove, and my dad sitting at the table reading the newspaper.
''Hi, everybody''. I greeted.
My dad waved, but still looking at his newspaper.
''Hi, sweetie. Do you want some eggs''? She asked.
I nodded and sat down beside my father.
''So….. How's work''? I asked.
''It's good. I have a meeting today''. He said.
''Here are your eggs''. She said placing them in front of me. I gobbled them down. They were delicious. After eating, I grabbed my book-bag and got on the bus.
At the A.N.T Farm-
I walked into the ant farm room to see Chyna and Fletcher at the table, probably making fun of you. I thought to myself. I walked over to them; ''what are you guys looking at''?
''Nothing''. Fletcher said, quickly as he put whatever they were looking at behind him.
''Yeah, nothing important''. Chyna said with a sweet smile. It made me sick.
I grabbed Fletcher's hand and pulled him out into an empty hallway.
''What's the matter''? Fletcher asked.
''Like you don't know''. I said bitterly.
''Well, I don't''. Fletcher asked.
''You lied to me yesterday''. I said.
''Oh, about that…..'' Fletcher started but I cut him off.
''I can't believe you, after all the times you said you didn't like chyna….. ''
''I don't like chyna''.
Then why do you hang out with her more than me.
''I can't tell you''.
''Why not''? I asked, suddenly filled with anger.
'I just can't.'' He said.
''Fine, don't, then I hope you like me not talking to you''. I said, as I walked away.
''Olive, wait''. He begged, but I was gone.
I went home, not caring if my parents were mad. I made myself some pizza rolls for a snack. There were good. Buzzzzzzz. Ugh, my phone was ringing. A text from chyna:
Why you aren't at school, Fletcher is worried about you.
I texted her back:
So. He's probably happy he's with you.
She quickly texted about:
What are you talking about, Fletcher loves you!
I texted:
Chyna, he likes you.
No, he doesn't.
Yes, he does.
Olive, Fletcher is in love with you.
Sure he is
Why don't you believe me?
Because you're lying.
No, I'm not.
Do me a favor and leave me alone. I texted back, then shut my phone off.
''Something wrong''? My mom asked.
I shook my head, ''it's nothing''.
She looks at me like she didn't' believe me, but said nothing.
''What are you cooking''?
''Pizza rolls, want some''?
''No, thanks''. Checking her watch, gasped, ''oh my gosh I'm late''.
''I'll see later''. She said, running out the door. It was weird how she didn't ask about me being home early from school. I toke the pizza rolls out of the oven and watched as they cooled off. My dad and I made them when I was nine. He taught me to cook things, like, carrot cake, chicken pot pies, sugar cookies, etc. We used lots of cooking books, spent lots of time cleaning the kitchen.
The pizza rolls were really good. Later, I decided to listen to some Taylor Swift. I completely adore her. She's amazing.
Why can't I just be happy?
Author's note: Sorry, you had to wait so long. School is making me very busy. Thank you to everyone who reviews this story.
Till next time! .

US bishops release video in defense of marriage
June 16, 2011
The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops' Subcommittee for the Promotion and Defense of Marriage has released "Made for Life," a video in defense of marriage as the union of a man and a woman.
The subcommittee is led by Bishop Salvatore Cordileone of Oakland, a leading force behind the 2008 passage of Proposition 8, the California ballot initiative that recognized marriage as the union of a man and a woman.

Mr. Worthngton has made a valid point. The USCCB advocated a "consistent ethic of life" which caused me to reevaluate my thinking on capital punishment. Perhaps a "consistent ethic of marriage" would help Catholics understand that God's plan includes stable families formed by heterosexual couples for a reason. As it is the USCCB has been defined a anti-homosexual by the media and their message on DOMA is not being heard.

It's all well & good that the Bishops will address homosexual marriage. When will they clamp down on the annulment factories that most of the dioceses have set up? Heterosexual marriage has been under attack with no fault divorce since the 70's. It has destroyed the black community, while causing gov't to now act as daddy to the fatherless. Divorce is also a contagion, giving plaintiffs a warm & fuzzy feeling while destroying his or her family, & causing great suffering to the kids. Man up!

New ICA President
At last Wednesday night's South Tipperary ICA Annual General Meeting in Halla na Feile, Dualla-Cashel's Anne Devitt was elected Federation Pesident to succeed Peggy O'Brien of Ballingeary.
Peggy wished Anne every success in her new role and thanked her committee for their assistance over the last three years. President-elect Anne complimented Peggy on her capability and the decision-making of her immediate officers. She went on to reflect on the great leading ICA women, right back to Mrs. Carton, T. Trench, & Chris O'Connell (of the Cashel Guild).

Carmenere is probably the grape most closely associated with Chile in the minds of wine geeks. It is an outcast from Bordeaux that has found a home in Chile. Only identified in 1994 (before then it was known as Chilean Merlot), Carmenere produces a lovely wine that combines some of the softness of Merlot with the complexity of Cabernet Franc and the depth of flavor of Cabernet Sauvignon.
In some cases, Carmenere is marked with a pronounced green character that recalls tomato leaves and bell pepper. Coming from naturally occurring compounds called pyrazines, these leafy green aromas and flavors can really set Carmenere apart when they are judiciously balanced by rich fruit. Koyle is a new operation taking advantage of biodynamically farmed hillside vineyard to produce one of Chile's best Carmenere wines.
Must try wine: 2009 Koyle Royale Carmenere

I like the feelings you expressed in this poem. The most important part is that there seems to be a transformation and meaning when you reach the ending. That's the most important part by far in my opinion. I'm usually against feeling poems since the vast majority dont pour any meaning or dont have hidden meaning. This poem is a little bit open in meaning. But just the same it has a powerful effect with the ending. Thanks for sharing.

So sad. Even though this speaker has realized that they must move on it hasn't helped in the pain they experience. How true of life. Another fantastic job. Well done.

It feels like you're actually communicating something to me, as opposed to... not communicating something.

|08.01.2013 - Has commercial real estate bottomed?
|U.S. office space isn't a very sexy economic indicator, but it's an important one. We live in a service-driven economy, and commercial real estate vacancies are a very good indicator of whether employers are growing and businesses are starting up … or conversely, whether they are closing up shop. Unfortunately, the latest numbers show office vacancies remain stubbornly high. According to fourth-quarter numbers from Reis, a commercial real estate research firm, the vacancy rate remains stubbornly high at 17.1%. That's down from a peak of 17.6% in Q3 and Q4 of 2010, but hardly much improved — especially considering the 12.6% rate in 2007 before the financial crisis...............................................Full Article: Source

John Preston, contributor
IN THIS posthumously published book, the maverick philosopher of science Paul Feyerabend questions the dominance of abstract, theoretical, objectivist science over more human modes of thought. He also targets society's adoption of scientism, the belief that science has the answer to all meaningful questions.
Feyerabend's strategy is to take some hallowed idea - for instance, that the success of science is due to observation and experiment - and scrutinise its origins. In this case, he finds the roots of the idea in the philosophy of the ancient Greeks. After assessing their reasoning, he finds the idea "optional" in his value system, since he gives more weight to stories than arguments. Sadly, despite important remarks along the way, Feyerabend's critique of scientism, and his proposed alternatives, remain unfocused and not well worked out.

Oostende Head Coach Jean-Marc Jaumin:
"We knew, when coming here, we had to put every effort in defense. We played very good on our defensive rebound. This is a very offensive team with a lot of good shooters. The key in our defense was to take contest on opponent's three-point shots. It is a team who scores 85 points or more every game in domestic league and in EuroChallenge they proved that they can compete with everyone."
Oostende Player Will Thomas:
"It was a good game, we knew we had to fight. We really had to do our job to get every rebound we could. We also knew we had to play good defense against Prostějov. They are a very offensive team with good shooters."
Prostejov Head Coach Peter Bálint:
"Both teams played very good defense, I can not say that we would make any serious mistakes. We knew that Oostende is a very strong team. They scored a lot from the outside, which is not usual with them. Their percentage of three-point scoring was enormously high and when we had the chance to equal the score, they scored another three-points shots and managed to hold the lead."
Prostejov Player Benas Veikalas:
"We knew that Oostende is a very good team and in the first half, we let them shoot from side very often. In the second half, when we tried to make the things work, it was too late."

Lawmaker calls for research unit within parliament
Manama: A Bahraini lawmaker has called for setting up a research unit within the parliament.
"The unit will carry out studies and research work that will benefit the legislators with their work," MP Hassan Bukhammas said on Tuesday.
The lawmaker said that he appreciated the idea when he was on an official visit within a parliamentary delegation to the Bundestag, the German parliament.
"We were told that the research unit conducted the work for the lawmakers to help them with their proposals and motions. This meant that they did not have to depend on outside sources and that they had their own sources for support," he said.
Bukhammas who was elected in 2011 made the proposal at the weekly session as the lower chamber debated the merit of taxes and their effect on the economy.
Several lawmakers said that they needed to have access to research results before they could commit themselves to a line of thought.
The Research and External Relations Directorate-General in the Bundestag has 11 research sections in the Research Services that support MPs' political work in parliament and the constituencies by supplying specialist information, analyses and expert opinions, the centre website says.
The topics covered by the research sections encompass the whole spectrum of legal and policy fields.
Bahrain has a major research centre, the Bahrain Centre for Strategic, International and Energy Studies (Derasat).
The centre says that it is "dedicated to encouraging the use of research and dialogue to inform policy makers and interest groups and to increase understanding of current and emerging international issues in the pursuit of a prosperous and peaceful world for all".
In addition to conducting research, it holds regular forums and conferences to debate current and emerging issues that impact the region.

My children are excited we are going to a friends house on Saturday for a little bit of trick or treating. Im not a full fledged celebrator of Halloween but did enjoy going trick or treating when I was an exchange student ... years ago.. in the USA . Last year we were living in a gated complex so it was nice a safe to take the children around. This year we are in a new neighbourhood so we've decided a dress up party is the safest option. Im thinking about making some more of these...
and these The oranges were a bit fiddly to make but I really did like the finished effect - and the icecream tasted like oranges - Yum!
I cant remember where I got the ideas from originally but it looks like I will be getting stuck in and making them again this year :)
have done a bit of sewing today and yesterday, but I'll save that for another day :)

For the purpose of proposing a settlement of rule violations alleged by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority ("FINRA"), without admitting or denying the findings, prior to a regulatory hearing, and without an adjudication of any issue Equity Services, Inc., submitted a Letter of Acceptance, Waiver and Consent ("AWC"), which FINRA accepted. In the Matter of Equity Services, Inc., Respondent (AWC 2010020870401, November 6, 2012).
Equity Services, Inc. has been a registered brokerage since 1969, nestled in lovely Montpelier, VT – not exactly a hotbed of Wall Street securities fraud. Notwithstanding the likely inferences of having a home office in such a bucolic setting, during the relevant period of 2007 through June 1, 2011, Equity Services had an impressive roster of as many as 775 registered representatives spread out over 263 branch offices; in more recent times, those numbers are reduced to under 600 reps and under 200 branch offices of which 27 are Offices of Supervisory Jurisdiction ("OSJs").
The AWC alleged that during the relevant period, although Equity Services required its registered representatives to maintain antivirus software on their computers, the firm failed to adopt written policies and procedures that:
Pointedly, the AWC alleged that:
Respondent also did not adopt written policies and procedures providing for follow up on potential computer security issues uncovered during branch audits. Moreover, the firm's written policies and procedures also did not provide for the verification of information provided to it by registered representatives regarding antivirus software use. Further, Respondent did not provide its Office of Supervisory Jurisdiction principals with adequate training or guidance on how to conduct inspections of branch office registered representatives' computers.
Accordingly, the AWC deemed the alleged failures to constitute violations of NASD Conduct Rules 3010 and 2110 and FINRA Rule 2010; and the sanction of a Censure and a $20,000 fine was imposed.
Amazin'. FINRA imposes a hefty $25,000 fine and I don't have the faintest idea as to what the firm actually did wrong or, to be a bit less diplomatic, what exactly the self-regulatory organization is actually talking about.
For regulatory settlements to have any value, they must specify with reasonable clarity the underlying misconduct so that industry members can understand what transpired. FINRA should minimally offer some guidance as to what steps could/should have been taken to prevent the cited violations and what better practices are suggested to avoid future recurrences.
What would a compliance officer or manager at one of FINRA's indie/regional firms learn from this Equity Services AWC? What lessons or warnings are provided to those who supervise at the likes of Merrill Lynch, Morgan Stanley, Wells Fargo, UBS, or JP Morgan? From my perspective: Zippo. All of which raises the disturbing inference that too much of what passes these days for Wall Street regulation is little more than generating revenue via fines rather that timely detecting and preventing misconduct.
Apparently, there was some snafu with the use of antivirus software at Equity Services. Frankly, that's an intriguing scenario and I would very much have appreciated some details – and I do mean "some" details in contradistinction to the absence of any substantive facts in this AWC. Having raised the specter of a problem with antivirus software, what does FINRA tell us happened here or went wrong?
Ah yes, the member firm's written policies and procedures were deficient. Ka-ching.
This AWC wags a finger at a member's failure to reasonably ensure compliance with its directive about antivirus software, which apparently resulted in a violation about something to do with the antiviral program but, gee, we don't exactly know what that was.
Then there's the titillating allegation that Equity Services uncovered "potential" computer security issues during branch audits but failed to follow-up.
Okay, so lemme see if I got this: The firm didn't actually uncover a security issue during its audits but uncovered a "potential" issue and failed to pursue the possible indications that something may have been wrong with something that wasn't actually a problem but could have been but for the fact that it wasn't?
I mean, seriously, y'all at FINRA gotta do a lot better than this when explaining to the industry and the public just what the hell is going on at all those branches and OSJs.

Martin Sheen breaks down as he praises son Charlie over HIV announcement
Hollywood veteran Martin Sheen fought back tears as he praised his son Charlie Sheen for his "courage" after he went public with his HIV diagnosis.
The former "Two and a Half Men" star confirmed long-running rumors about his health on Tuesday when he announced he was diagnosed with the disease four years ago.
During his appearance on America's "Today" show, Charlie admitted he spent a long time trying to keep the news secret, and handed over more than $10 million to silence those who threatened to go public with his story.
Charlie's father Martin has now revealed family members had been encouraging the actor to go public with his HIV status for "several months" even though talking openly about the well-kept secret was incredibly "difficult."
Speaking during a press conference in Florida, Martin told reporters, "He (Charlie) had been leading up to this sort of story for several months, and we kept encouraging him to do it… And he kept backing away and backing away because it was like going to his own execution, I guess…
"It was the most difficult thing he'd ever done. And he kind of sealed it when he called ("Today" show host) Matt Lauer last week and asked if he could go on."
The "West Wing" actor goes on to admit he had no idea Charlie was planning to go through with the TV talk until the day of the show, and he choked back tears as he told reporters how proud he was of his son for speaking out about such a personal matter.
"We didn't know until he walked on the set… that he was going to do it," Martin added. "I saw him Saturday night, my wife and I went to see him, to make sure he knew we were behind him, and if he wanted me to go (with him to the interview) I would have cancelled this event. He said, no, this was his and his alone… I can't speak for him of course. Sorry (for crying)…
"When someone comes to themself, they have the moment of clarity, and they reveal their secrets – which all of us have – in public, it is a great sense of relief. It is a miraculous occasion… As I watched him alone, reveal his deepest, darkest secret, I couldn't believe the level of courage I was witnessing, and that it was my son.
"I left him a message, and I said that if I had that much courage, I would change the world… I hope that this day is the first day of the rest of Charlie's life as a free man."
The actor concluded by encouraging everyone attending the press conference in Naples, Florida, which was part of a financial leadership conference, to show compassion to loved ones who are going through a tough time, according to Naplesnews.com.
Martin Sheen likens Charlie Sheen's addiction to cancer
MAX NASH/AFP/Getty Images
Charlie Sheen's dad Martin has likened his son's drug addiction to a cancer, insisting the troubled star needs as much "concern and love" as possible.
The "Two and a Half Men" actor is undergoing rehab treatment at his Los Angeles home, just months after police were called to his New York hotel suite after he allegedly trashed the room in a rage during a night with an adult actress.
Now actor Martin Sheen has spoken out about his son's demons, revealing he is throwing his support behind the star and willing him to recuperate.
He tells Sky News, "He's an extraordinary man. You know, if he had cancer, how would we treat him? The disease of addiction is a form of cancer and you have to have an equal measure of concern and love and lift them up and so that's what we do for him.
"You realize we're not all on the same journey all the time. We have to love that much more. We have to be that much more present."
Meanwhile, his brother, Emilio Estevez, revealed he has become "used to" constant scrutiny over Sheen's behavior, adding, "You get used to it though. After 30 years… 40 some years, you build up an immunity, I guess."
Martin Sheen returns to stage after almost two decades
Veteran actor Martin Sheen is set to return to the stage for the first time in nearly two decades – in a Los Angeles revival of "The Subject Was Roses."
The Frank D. Gilroy drama earned Sheen a 1965 Tony Award nomination after he originated the starring role of Timmy Cleary in the Broadway play, about a soldier whose parents' marital problems surface upon his return from war.
Sheen reprised the part in the 1968 screen adaptation.
Now 69, he will take on the role of John, Timmy's father, in the new Neil Pepe production, which will open on February 21 and play through March 21.
Martin Sheen was 'fanatical' about getting Charlie clean
AP Photo/AARP The Magazine
Martin Sheen was so determined to make sure his son Charlie kicked his drug habit, he became "fanatical" about getting him help.
Sheen's actor son was hospitalized in 1998 for a drug overdose and has endured a long-running battle with his addictions.
Former "West Wing" star Martin is a recovering alcoholic and admits he was so troubled when he found out about Charlie's problems he became fixated on helping him sort his life out.
And Sheen's first step was to report his son to the police in a bid to get him into a rehabilitation program.
He tells AARP The Magazine, "When a life is at stake and it's your child, you become fearless in a lot of ways. I mean, you just become fanatic. Nothing ever gets done unless it's done by a fanatic.
"The only way I got to Charlie, frankly, was because he'd skipped out of the hospital. I had to pay the bill.
"He'd consumed an illegal substance; he was on probation. This was a criminal matter. And so that was the wedge; that was the leverage I had. That is what I took to the court; that's what I took to the sheriff. It was the only way I got him."

A Coroner's jury yesterday afternoon declared that narcotic poison, administered by some person not known, killed Francis J. Lindner, who died May 2, at 14 East One Hundred and Twenty-seventh Street. Dr. John B. Huber, Coroner Hoeber's physician, diagnosed the case as one of Bright's disease, and said at the inquest that he made no autopsy because he did not consider it necessary.

This is the amendment that, among other things, adds readlink(), symlink(), lstat(), and fixes up all the errno lists to deal with symbolic links in pathnames. Now what was it we were discussing? I think the implemented behavior conforms to the draft specifications. I am not sure what in the traditional implementation was not conforming. I suspect though that there are other factors outside of conformance that provide a motivation for this particular change. Just guessing here, because I wasn't privy to the design discussions. /sjd

It was a beautiful day for an Easter egg hunt with sunny skies and temperatures in the upper 60s Saturday afternoon.
Hundreds of children and their parents were on hand at the South Pine Creek soccer field on Old Dam Road in Fairfield for the traditional egg hunt.
Before the mad dash for colored eggs began, many took time to meet and be photographed with one of two Easter Bunnies on hand. There was also a person dressed in a chicken costume.
The hunt -- for preschoolers up to third-graders -- lasted only a few minutes with all the eggs quickly snatched up by children.
The eggs were filled with candy, gold coins, pencil erasers and plenty of memories.

Cohoes fire destroys apartment building; 7 families displaced
Updated 1:19 am, Monday, March 13, 2017
Firefighters battled a massive fire at 10 Broadway in Cohoes Sunday evening and into Monday.
Seven families lived in apartments in the three-story building and 22 people were displaced, said Capt. Jim Fennen of the Cohoes Fire Department. The Red Cross was seeking shelter for 10 people.
As of 11:45 p.m. the homes on Broadway were without power. The city opened shelters at Spendwood School of Dance and Gymnastics, 50 Johnston Ave.,and Vineyard Community Church, 121 Remsen St., both in Cohoes.
Freezing temperatures, slippery conditions and winds all hindered firefighting efforts.
The fire started at 9:10 p.m., Fennen said. When firefighters arrived, the second and third floors were fully involved, making it impossible to enter the building, he said.
Neighbors said they heard screaming, went outside and saw the fire. Neighbor Anna Clukey was also displaced temporarily from her home at 14 Broadway and waited on a neighbor's porch in the freezing temperatures. Her home and other homes next to 10 Broadway sustained water and fire damage, Fennen said.
Troy, Albany, Watervliet, Green Island and North Colonie fire departments were all at the scene.
Around 9:45 p.m. the side of the building collapsed and firefighters were worried about the fire spreading to other homes.
A warming shelter for firefighters was set up for combatting the fire in freezing temperatures.
