KNOXVILLE (WVLT) -- Tennessee senior center Brian Williams violated Tennessee's substance abuse policy late in the basketball season, a source tells Volunteer TV.
Former Vols head coach Bruce Pearl told media members Williams was missing time due to a back injury.
Williams missed two games, but returned in time for the SEC Tournament.
Pearl's failure to disclose the information about the failed drug test is being labeled by some as one of the reasons the UT administration changed its stance on his viability as Tennessee's coach.
GoVolsXtra.com is reporting that a Tennessee basketball player's family used extra tickets for the Kentucky game, which is a secondary NCAA violation.
The player's name was not disclosed.
The report states that the ticket miscue is the March violation which caused the "dynamics of our case with the NCAA" to change, as Mike Hamilton stated in the press release announcing Pearl's termination.

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) have drafted new advice in an attempt to encourage young children, women who are pregnant or may become pregnant, and those breastfeeding, to eat more fish.
Fish contains important nutrients for developing fetuses, infants who are breastfed, and young children, but the latest analysis of fish consumption by pregnant women shows that this group is not consuming adequate amounts.
Research suggests that the intake of omega-3 fatty acids, in particular DHA, from at least 8 ounces of seafood weekly for pregnant and breastfeeding women is associated with improved infant health, such as visual and cognitive development.
The new proposed advice is for these women and young children is to eat 8 to 12 ounces (2 to 3 servings) of fish weekly from a variety of fish that are lower in mercury.
For children, the portion size will be smaller depending upon the age of the child. Mercury occurs naturally in the environment, and is also a byproduct of industrial processes and pollution.
The airborne form of mercury accumulates on the surface of streams and oceans and is transformed by the bacteria in the water into the form of methylmercury. The fish absorb the methylmercury from the water or get it by eating the organisms that live in the water. Methylmercury is a neurotoxin that can be harmful to the brain and nervous system if too much is consumed.
While nearly all fish contain some methylmercury, larger fish with a longer lifespan contain the highest concentration of methylmercury. For that reason, it is recommended that the following fish be avoided or limited by women who are pregnant, breastfeeding, and by young children:
Tilfefish from the Gulf of Mexico
King Mackerel
Limit white (albacore) tuna to 6 ounces weekly
The good news is that many of the most commonly eaten fish, which include salmon, shrimp, pollock, light canned tuna, tilapia, catfish, and cod, are all lower in mercury.
The FDA also recommends that consumers pay attention to fish advisories when eating fish that you or others have caught from streams, rivers, and lakes. If advice isnt available, adults should limit these sources of fish to 6 ounces a week and young children to 1 to 3 ounces a week. They should also not eat other fish that week.
Here are some tips to getting more fish in your diet:
Flake canned salmon over your lunch or dinner salad.
Grill once, eat twice. Make extra fish for dinner and enjoy the leftovers for lunch the next day.
Order fish when dining out.
Add light tuna to cooked pasta and veggies and toss with a light salad dressing for a quick pasta salad meal.
The new advice by the FDA and EPA will be finalized in the future.
Be well, Joan

Here I Stand Lyrics
Artist: Dokken
Album: Shadowlife
I will rise up - over this
'till I come to a higher place
I will find strength - let go
of all the ties to my disgrace
I'm no more - and no less

looking for a new horizon
I can find in myself
(It's all right) the shadow's gone
(shine your light) with the risin' sun
(It's all right) take me as I am
(yeah yeah yeah) cuz here I stand
No hesitation - holdin' back
I'll take each step one by one
but I might fall - I could stray
If I loose my eye's today
I'm only one in a crowd
I'm just one voice on the line
looking for a new horizon
another place another time
(It's all right) the shadow's gone
(shine your light) with the risin' sun
(It's all right) take me as I am
(yeah yeah yeah) cuz here I stand
CODA: In our hands a light shines
we still wonder
change our world into sand
we will hunger

draws near its mother
like a son -fears no one-
will cast our shadow forever
'cause here I stand

Calais Migrant Crisis
Migrants walk along train tracks as they attempt to cross into Britain through the Channel Tunnel near Calais, France. (Reuters)
This week's snapshot focuses on the crisis in Calais, France, where thousands of migrants have fled a refugee camp known as "the Jungle" in an attempt to cross into Great Britain via the Channel Tunnel.

1. UK government announces new steps against illegal immigrants
Media: Agence France-Presse (AFP)
Byline: N/A
Date: 03 August 2015
London, Aug 3, 2015 (AFP) – Britain's government promised new measures Monday to crack down on illegal immigrants by making landlords evict them, as the Calais migrants crisis continued to dominate the headlines.
Landlords in England who do not remove people with no right to remain in Britain, or do not check their immigration status before renting them a property, could be jailed for up to five years.
The move, announced by Communities Secretary Greg Clark, is set to be included in a new Immigration Bill that parliament will debate in the coming months.
2. Traffic slowed as Calais migrants try to enter Channel Tunnel
Media: Agence France-Presse (AFP)
Byline: N/A
Date: 04 August 2015
Lille, France, Aug 4, 2015 (AFP) – Migrants in France made hundreds of attempts overnight to penetrate the Channel Tunnel to get to Britain, a police source said Tuesday, as an unidentified "anomaly" in the tunnel slowed traffic.
The migrant crisis in the northern French port of Calais has hit the headlines in the past week, with people desperate to reach Britain making attempt after attempt to breach Eurotunnel defences, some paying for it with their lives.
3. 18 migrants found hiding in truck on British motorway
Media: Agence France-Presse (AFP)
Byline: N/A
Date: 09 August 2015
London, Aug 9, 2015 (AFP) – Eighteen migrants have been found stowing
away in a lorry on a British motorway, police said Sunday.
The migrants were found after the lorry was stopped Saturday by
police on the M1 near Flamstead, north of London, 111 miles (178
kilometres) northwest of Folkestone, where Britain's Eurotunnel
cross-Channel terminal is located.
The driver of the truck, a 40-year-old man from Poland, has been
arrested on suspicion of assisting people entering the country
4. Hammond: African migrant surge imperils EU social infrastructure
Media: Reuters
Byline: Andrew Osborn
Date: 09 August 2015
LONDON (Reuters) – A surge in migrants from Africa threatens the
European Union's living standards and social infrastructure, British
Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond said on Sunday, saying the bloc was
unable to take in millions of people seeking a new life.
Hammond's comments, some of his most outspoken on the subject yet,
underscore how the British government is ramping up its
anti-immigration rhetoric in response to a spike in migrant attempts
to reach Britain via the Channel Tunnel from France.

David Cameron shares the foreign secretary's concerns about
millions of African migrants threatening the UK's standards of
living, Downing Street has said.
The prime minister's official spokeswoman on Monday backed Philip
Hammond's warning about the inability of Europe to absorb millions
of new residents from Africa, but would not repeat his language about
migrants "marauding" around the Channel tunnel entrance at
Coquelles, near Calais, in northern France.

The Scrap Pile
( Originally Published 1916 )
THE human scrap pile.
The refuse, the discard, the useless, the non-producers, the wasters, the parasites, the loafers, the do-nothings, the consumers of unearned food, the wearers of given clothes, the stalled, fattened, curried, sleek human animals devouring the sub-stance of them that sweat and toil.
Wherever you find an idle group you find a septic point in mankind.
Among the "rights of man" there is no right to work not.
The conscience of the Twentieth Century thunders the commandment of Carlyle: "Find thy work ! Produce ! Produce ! In God's name, pro-duce !"
The prosperity of America is attacked already by that species of vermin that always infest accumulated wealth, vested privilege, old-standing institutions.
The tramps, hoboes, and slum loafers are not our severest menace. The unemployed rich men, who do nothing but amuse themselves and spend their own or their father's money, are just as bad.
The women who flit from northern fashionable resort hotels in summer to southern fashionable hotels in winter, who spend their days in motoring and their evenings at cards, whose whole energy is occupied in dress and schemes of precedence, are but particles of that heap of waste and poison that must be swept away before democracy shall find a basis of justice and peace. They are the seed of the coming revolution. They are the kindlings for the cleansing fires of Des-tiny.
There is direct connection between the work-house convicts and the hangers-about at the snob palaces of American plutocracy.
A. A. McCormick, president of the County Board of Cook County (Chicago), speaking of the efforts being made to put paupers and out-casts to work, observed:
"The human scrap pile for which we have to pay is cluttered up, not alone with the paupers and the `down and outs,' but with the idle rich, who sit around luxurious hotels and watering places with nothing to do but overeat and sleep. I was astounded by the waste of human energy at the county institutions, but I am appalled when I think of that far greater waste of energy among those whose wants have been provided for and who have nothing to do but dress for dinner.
"We have 2,500 persons sitting with folded hands in our county institutions, content because their wants have been provided for. I could not help thinking of our wealthy outcasts in this connection. They are really beyond the pale of human effort, for they are doing nothing that is of good to anybody, not even to themselves.
"The idle wealthy are going on the scrap pile voluntarily. They are not only useless but harmful. Somebody ought to wake them up and make them think."

I fucken hate swirlies
by The Gravedigger
Sands just took in the words and with the time Gideon soke in he simply stood up and slammed both men down. Well after Gideon made that sudden GESK sound followed by the thud of the canvas. Sand's stood over both as he stomped Gideon out. When he turned his attention to GD he looked kinda stunned as if he was to do another spot but yet he rolled out under the bottom rope.
He walked to the ropes and looked down wondering why GD was holding is throat and looked around to officials and technical and still played his part and ignored him but kept his ears open. He stomped back on Gideon and looked back when he noticed Medics and Tech rushing up to him as he collapsed checking is vitals.
So in keeping with tradition he tried keeping everyones focus as he drove a knee into Gideon's skull. He bounced off with a leg drop to follow. And when he saw Gravedigger sprawled out he smiled sadistically and leapt over the top rope.
His leg sprang out as he came down but when he crashed through the medics and technicals he found only mat. His left part of arse was suddenly finding new sensations. His lower back felt like it went through a 24 hour shift and then some without the booze offset after that. No satisfaction from an honest attempt. It just plain fucken hurt.
No Gideon was getting to hid feet and saw GD stirring. With no reprisal the dark Savior went darker and just rushed over stomping away like a crack wore busting up a mark for some chance at the sweet bliss that could be the reward.

Harper Beckham will turn three next month, but already she looks set to follow in her fashion designer mum Victoria's famous stiletto steps.
Just look at this artistic creation, shared by her proud mother on Twitter. We've seen worse from some of the world's top designers!
Mum-of-four Victoria, 40, tweeted a snap of the collage Harper had made of a woman wearing a peach floral blouse, dungarees and carrying purple high heels.
With her mum's attention to detail, Harper had positioned the paper doll's clothes perfectly in place.
Victoria captioned the shot: "Look at Harper's artwork!! I'm such a proud mummy!! X vb"
Shortly after tweeting the pic of Harper's artwork, Victoria revealed where Harper had drawn her inspiration from by sharing a photo of the Sticker Dolly Dressing Fashion Designer Spring Collection book Harper had been working from!

There's no question that the sticker autograph is a sticking point for many a collector.
They often loathe them because they want something that someone held signed, because they want an autograph that can accentuate the image that it is affixed to, because they want a signature that is not cut off by the edge of a sticker that's smaller than the item it's affixed to.
But collectors also don't want to wait on redemption cards — an inevitable byproduct of on-card signatures. But collectors also don't want to receive cards with dinged corners, either. (This just in, many athletes don't treasure corners on their cards as much as you do … ) This, in turn, has spawned the letter patch autographs, the manufactured logo autographs, the Sweet Spot autographs and so on …
There are advantages for companies to get stickers (and non-card items) signed — primarily pertaining to the issues above — but it's also one of asset management. What does a company do when there are cards left over after redemptions are fulfilled (something that also costs money)? They've cost the company something — yet aren't necessarily usable in a future product.
Stickers or other types of autographs on the other hand can be used later down the line if a lineup changes or a deadline is missed or if redemptions go unfulfilled — something that saves the company money, which is more important than ever as a shrinking industry continues to weather a poor economy in a world where costs for autographs aren't shrinking. (Even though they probably should be.) Every company uses them — and it's become en vogue to tout when they aren't, likely when it's time to move some products.
So, we have to ask — is there a right way to do sticker autographs?
Read more after the jump.
TRISTAR recently launched a line of autographed photos as part of its TNA Wrestling lines — images that appear to use sticker autographs based on the sizes and the consistent size and locations of the autographs. Several top TNA stars like Sting, Mick Foley and Knockouts like Velvet Sky and Tara are available on the limited-edition photos found on ShopTNA.com. (See a full gallery of the images below.)
Does it work? In many ways it probably does — particularly when managing the company's inventory of autographs. (After all, wrestling gimmicks and storylines change much more than players change teams in traditional sports.)
Think about it. What is in more demand for a company when a big trade like, say, Alex Rodriguez going from the Rangers to the Yankees? His autographed Rangers photos or his autographed Yankees photos? And what is a company to do when they can't move items that aren't hot — sell at a loss? (That could put a dent in business, if not end it, depending on the subject of the autographs and the volume of them.)
So, ultimately, isn't a big portion of an autograph's appeal the item that it is affixed to, whether its via a sticker or direct application? Of course it is — just look at the price differences between a signed jersey and a signed baseball — then compare the quality of a majority of those autographs. (Some might be more in favor of a cheaper, cleaner autograph even if it's on a lesser item.) Most veteran collectors will tell you that without having to read anything written here — otherwise we'd all just be collecting the traditional autograph on a random item or (gasp!) piece of paper.
Now, this writer isn't advocating widespread sticker use — or slapping stickers on items like baseball bats or movie posters — but there is a place for them if they're done right — one of those things being that the items are designed with the sticker's aesthetic limits in mind. And that varies from sport to sport, product to product.
Stickers and wrestling make sense more than other sports because they're traveling more than the typical athlete with no off-season and multiple stops per week. It's not realistic to get a full checklist of cards printed, mailed off in bulk months in advance to several addresses and then hit a deadline a few months later when it's time to sell a product. (Well, presuming that those pricey printed cards ever arrived… were ever signed … or ever returned.)
Yes, there have been products in the past with on-card autographs and deep checklists. They were either produced with longer time-frames to work with (which costs money as costs mount and return time is months, years later) or with a lot more legwork to get stuff signed with runners (which also costs money). Remember that whole shrinking industry and poor economy part?
TNA will reportedly be going under several changes very soon as Hulk Hogan will be joining the company's ranks next week and its main television show is moving (on occasion) to Monday nights to compete with WWE, which by the way does not regularly sell autographs of its wrestlers on its website — despite the fact that they could do quite well doing it. (There must be a reason… logistics?)
There will be plenty of changes for TNA — storyline, gimmicks, even reportedly the wrestling ring's dimensions. It wouldn't shock this writer to see even more dramatic changes down the line to branding, logos, names, etc.
With a company that could be changing so much so soon, stickers make sense — even when affixed to photos. (Though this writer thinks the design and the stickers' use looks acceptable on the TNA photo mock-ups. We'll see in person. And ultimately, it's truly about the quality of the photo as well.)
Let us know what you think about stickers — we have a feeling you won't be afraid to voice your opinions on this one.

Clicking around the web today I landed on a couple of really amazing videos. I love a happy accident like that! I think all of you creatives will enjoy these as well. They aren't quick studies, but rather involved, well done videos showing one artists perspective. These are part of the Documented Life Project Challenge.
I'm headed for my journal now, and know just how I'll be spending this evening!

Students Named 2007 Presidential Management Finalists
Posted: May 10, 2007 at 1:00 am, Last Updated: November 30, -0001 at 12:00 am
Six George Mason students were recently named finalists in the Presidential Management Fellows (PMF) Program run by the U.S. Office of Personnel Management.
Two of the finalists will be graduating from the School of Law: Johna Ohtagaki and Meredith Steer. Two more will graduate with master's degrees in public policy: Daniel Fraim and Christopher Harm.
The other students are Augustine Fahey, graduating with a master's in conflict analysis and resolution; and Lindsay Irvine, graduating with a master's in economics.
The PMF program looks for qualified master's and PhD students who have either already completed their degrees or are expecting to graduate within the current academic year, and allows them to obtain paid internships and entry-level opportunities with the government.
Several of the finalists have already decided on what job they will take after graduation. Steer will soon be working as an attorney for the U.S. Air Force. Fraim will begin working with the Bureau of Intelligence and Research at the U.S. Department of State. And Harm will take a position as program analyst with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
To become a finalist for the PMF — one of the federal government's most prestigious academic honors — each student had to undergo an intense and competitive application process that included interviews, presentations and essay writing.
Once selected as a finalist, each had a series of interviews at a job fair held in Washington, D.C. The finalists were competing for federal jobs specifically allocated for PMF fellows.
Some of the jobs allow the fellows to rotate to different positions during the two-year program. During that time, the fellows also participate in training and other activities to prepare them for leadership positions within the federal government.
To learn more about the PMF Program, visit the Presidential Management Fellows web site.

Despite owing much to the excellent performances of Toby Flood and Matt Smith, the 25 year-old winger displayed explosive pace and a clinical finishing ability to condemn Exeter Chiefs to a 30 – 8 defeat. The winger's first try was a fantastic example of wing play and raw acceleration. Upon receiving the ball at an almost standing start, Thompstone was able to exploit the little bit of space in front of him to burst over the try line. With Ben Foden set to miss the Autumn Internationals, there are places in the back three up for grabs – could Thompstone be in the reckoning?
Owen Farrell – Saracens
Whilst Saturday's papers were purring about the prospect of Freddie Burns, it was a somewhat more familiar fresh face that stole the show this weekend. Owen Farrell produced a faultless kicking display to not only claim all of his side's points, but inflict a first defeat of the season on high-flying Harlequins. The 20 year-old has been in stiff competition with the fine form of Charlie Hodgson; however, this commanding performance provided a timely reminder that he is very much in the frame for the England number 10 shirt. The match was defined by the battle between the two fly-halves, with Farrell seeming to have the cooler head than his Kiwi counterpart Nick Evans.
Shaun Knight – Gloucester
Gloucester have a number of exciting, youthful players emerging. Fine performances from the likes of Burns and Billy Twelvetrees are testament to this, but it's 22 year-old prop Shaun Knight, who capped off a plucky and resilient display with a well taken try, who gets my vote this week. Knight, who started the game on the bench, made the desired impact in the last 20 minutes as London Welsh fought their way back into the game. The youngster spoke to local press after the game and showed a maturity and understanding of the contention for places within the team. The importance of changes within the front row is aptly described as, "a 6- minute arm wrestle, or a 20-minute blast", and Knight provided that impact just when it was needed. One for the future for England perhaps.
David McSharry – Connacht
Connacht will have come away with their heads held high from this derby match. To win so convincingly as underdogs and the manner in which they dispatched Leinster is quite an achievement. The player who contributed most to Connacht's flowing rugby was 22 year-old centre David McSharry, the youngster opening the scoring with a fantastically timed run from deep to burst over the try line and was instrumental in initiating the move which sent Vainikolo over for Connacht's second. Dan Parks' excellent kicking stretched Connacht's lead to cement their win over the European champions and the team's second of the season.
Steffan Jones – Newport Gwent Dragons
A good performance by the Dragons was characterised by the decisiveness of young fly-half Steffan Jones, 21. Two well-taken drop goals showed not only the youngster's ability, but also the vision and understanding to see an opportunity when it presents itself. The second of these attempts was particularly impressive as the fly-half recognised that the attack was slowing down and dropped into the pocket to calmly slot the three points. It was vital that the Dragons won as they are desperate to gather some momentum in order to kick start their season. The coolness under pressure and the presence of mind to take the points when they presented themselves is even more impressive.

ComicMix Pro: services for indie comics creators
As a solo creator looking for ways to grow the audience for her sf graphic novel, I'm interested in this. But the nonspecificity of the site's claims worry me.
"At ComicsMixPro Services, we've promoted some of the most successful titles of the last several decades." Titles such as?
They talk about licensing properties but don't mention anything they've been involved in the licensing of. They talk about crowdfunding experts with "proven track records" but don't mention any campaigns.
In short: "We have a lot of experts. But we won't tell you who they are or what they've done. Now give us $75 for us to consider looking at your project."
That's totally not tripping my scam detectors. Not at all.
Yeah, the give-us-money-to-consider-you is kind of the classic scam tactic. I don't know one way or the other whether these people legit or not, but I agree that the scam detectors are going off.
In Hauman's defense, he's worked with John Ostrander and Peter David. According to the website, Mike Gold, who was an editor with DC and First Comics, is also involved in ComicMix (though I don't know if he's involved with the Pro project). So while I don't know what he delivers with CMP, he's certainly not a scam artist.

I think that one of the main arguments for the separate port number and URI scheme for https was that the client software needed to know to make a secure connection; upgrading from a clear connection to a secure connection is subject to man-in-the-middle attacks. At the workshop this week, the focus was on the "last two feet", i.e. between the client software and the human operator, and from this perspective, it seemed that the 's' is more trouble than it's worth. There's a failure mode where User follows a link to https://example.com/pg - example.com is under attack; doesn't respond User tries http://example.com/ instead. - bad guy has gotten in the middle, and fleeces user The argument might have been more subtle than that. I hope somebody can help me re-create it. There are, of course, problems of aliasing and such. There was some argument that http: is enough, combined with... Upgrading to TLS Within HTTP/1.1 Khare and Lawrence May 2000 http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2817.txt I think this is one of the more subtle cases of metadata in URIs. I was happy to let it sleep indefinitely, but with renewed work on security, it's perhaps time to take another look. I don't see this case discussed in either of http://www.w3.org/2001/tag/doc/metaDataInURI-31.html http://www.w3.org/2001/tag/2006/02/metadatainURI31Roadmap.html I see that Noah concludes Roadmap with a nice short 4-point list.

Mandip Dhamoon, MD, MPH is an Assistant Professor of Neurology at the Mount Sinai School of Medicine (MSSM) and a Dr. PH candidate in epidemiology at Columbia University. He has performed several research projects in stroke epidemiology with the Northern Manhattan Study (NOMAS) resulting in multiple first-author publications. His immediate goals are to gain the skills needed to perform longitudinal analysis of repeated functional and quality of life (QOL) measures and to model the course of these outcomes before and after stroke. His long-term career goals are to become an independently funded academic neurologist and epidemiologist with expertise in the prediction of functional status over time in population. Environment: Using resources and mentors from MSSM and Columbia University, Dr. Dhamoon will obtain statistical expertise through coursework and mentorship with Dr. Bagiella, a senior biostatistician at MSSM. He will also gain facility with measures of functional status and QOL under the mentorship of experienced trialist, data manager, and epidemiologist Dr. Markowitz. He will continue learning about the design and analysis of large epidemiological datasets by working on NOMAS and through mentorship with Dr. Elkind. Seminars and annual conferences and meetings will complete his training plan. Research: The objective of this proposal is to identify individuals at risk of steep decline in functional status and QOL, and to describe the long-term trajectory of these outcomes before and after major vascular events. Our central hypotheses are that stroke can cause a decline in function and QOL over the long term even in the absence of recurrent vascular events, and that vascular risk factors and inflammatory and imaging markers predict an accelerated decline. To enhance validity, we will study these hypotheses in two large observational cohorts, NOMAS and the Cardiovascular Health Study (CHS). The hypotheses for this proposal are: Hypothesis #1: The following factors independently predict worse functional status and QOL in NOMAS in those free of stroke at baseline: a) serum inflammatory biomarkers;and b) cerebral white matter disease. Hypothesis #2: The slope of decline in functional status and QOL over the long term is steeper after stroke than before stroke. The slope of decline before and after myocardial infarction (MI) does not change. Hypothesis #3: NOMAS has several unique strengths, but its measures of functional status and QOL are limited, and this Aim is intended to interpret results according to more modern and applicable scales. We will collect the Frenchay Activities Index (FAI), modified Rankin scale (MRS), and the Short Form Health Survey (SF-12) in all patients returning for follow-up assessments. We hypothesize that there is moderate agreement between the FAI, BI, and the MRS in NOMAS, primarily due to ceiling and floor effects of the BI. There is high agreement between the SF-12 and QLI.
With an aging population, disability will increasingly burden the economy, the health care system, and family structure. In order to predict the future impact of vascular disease on disability and plan interventions, reliable data about the impact of stroke on long-term disability and quality of life are needed. The proposed research will provide this data and allow more accurate identification of those at risk of long-term decline who may benefit from intensive interventions.

From Chronicle Staff Writer Susan Slusser in Oakland
The A's try to salvage a game from Cincinnati today, using this lineup behind Vin Mazzaro: Crisp CF, Barton 1B, Jackson DH, Suzuki C, Kouzmanoff 3B, Gross RF, Rosales SS, Ellis 2B, Davis LF
Bob Geren said it's a coincidence that Jack Cust has had two days off in a row; Gabe Gross had good matchup numbers against Bronson Arroyo last night, and today, Geren wanted to give Conor Jackson a day to rest his legs, reasoning that with tomorrow's day off, he'll get n extra little break. Also, Johnny Cueto's splits favor right-handed hitters, who have a .287 mark against him.
In the daily injury rundown, Geren said that if all goes well with Brett Anderson's rehab, he'll be back in the A's rotation shortly after the All-Star break.
Joey Devine and Josh Outman, both coming back from Tommy John surgery, have been shut down for a while in Arizona, according to Geren. Devine has had repeated setbacks since this spring, and Outman is just 12 months removed from surgery.
According to Geren, all the test results so far to determine what's behind the leg soreness that Buck told me about last week have come back normal. The tests are to determine if there's some sort of nutritional definiciency or the like causing the problem. Buck is undergoing more tests; he can't work out hard without severe leg soreness the next day.
Michael Ynoa made a nice organizational debut the other day, allowing one hit and striking out four in three innings for the Arizona rookie league team.

Babies may be the mantra behind marital blissFebruary 17th, 2009 - 2:29 pm ICT by ANI
Melbourne, Feb 17 (ANI): Marital bliss may depend on your decision to have a baby, say psychologists.
For many years, it was reckoned that the prescription for marital malaise was having a baby.
However, now, two psychologists from the University of California at Berkeley have claimed that if both partners are equally pleased about a pregnancy - and careful not to backslide into traditional gender roles - most couples are satisfied in their relationship, reports the Daily Telegraph.
To reach the conclusion, Philip and Carolyn Cowan, who are also fellows with the Council on Contemporary Families, followed 96 couples for six years after their first babies arrived.
Those who welcomed their children saw more positive feelings return at about 18 months. But those who were ambivalent or disagreed on the new addition - about one-third - continued to be caught up in tension.
And all those couples were either separated or divorced by the time the child reached kindergarten.
"Given these findings … it isn"t wise for an eager spouse or would-be grandparents to pressure couples to become parents before both are ready,"" reported the Cowans, who will present their findings at the council''s annual conference in April.
"In light of the long-term consequences … the decision should not be rushed, they added. (ANI)

You are incorrect. The Free Software Foundation has a monopoly on the trade mark "GNU". As a result, no other organization may title a document "GNU Manifesto" without the FSF's permission. So yes, suppose the Manifesto were a free, copylefted document. That would allow Microsoft to use parts of the Manifesto to support their own ideas. It would also allow the FSF to use parts of Microsoft's Manifestos. > Would that serve the cause of freedom? A free and open commons of ideas serves the cause of truth, through which we maintain freedom. A benevolent dictatorship of ideas, such as the FSF is attempting to create with the GFDL, is not Freedom -- merely a new set of masters. > I'm aiming to do the same thing with music, and I don't want the > record industry to put words in my mouth.

That's covered by the laws against slander, libel, defamation, fraud, and the laws protecting trade and service marks. You could put your essays under the MIT/X11 license, and it would still not be lawful for me to claim you said other than what you did.

I have a lot to tell everyone so I'll start from the beginning.
In April of 2007 I started dating a guy named Parker. He was awesome. We graduated, I went to college, and he prepared for a mission.
Fast forward to December of 2010.
I was preparing to go teach English in St. Petersburg (that's in Russia) for spring semester. I was scheduled to leave January 25th so I decided to spend my last month at home with family, friends, and (of course) Parker. I moved home December 16th and he said he wanted to take me on a date.
We were planning to get engaged when I got home from Russia, get married in the summer (yes, it would have been a quick engagement) and both go to Utah State in the fall.
Back to the date. We were going to go to Temple Square, get something to eat, and go our separate ways; but, things never turn out as you might think.
He was late picking me up because his uncle's car had broken down and he also needed to go to Salt Lake so Parker came to get me in his dad's nice car (that's important to the story later) with his uncle in the backseat. We had a great time just chatting until we got to Parker's aunts house to drop off his uncle. Liz is awesome, so we went in to say hi. Upon leaving, Liz told us that Temple Square was probably closed at this time of night (it was around ten). She was right.
So, we picked up a hot and ready pizza at Little Caesar's and ate while we drove home. He asked if I wanted to watch a movie at his house, I said yes. When we got to his house he got out and he stood in front of his garage. I got out and threw the box away.
He said, "Come here, I want to hug you."
I said okay and hugged him, kissed him, and started walking away to go inside.
"Come back! I wasn't done hugging you yet!"
"Okay," I said as I turned around and went back to him.
"You make me so happy."
I smiled at him. "Good. That's all I want is to make you happy."
He smiled as he released me and said, "I know this isn't how you expected it, but I don't want to wait anymore."
He got on one knee and opened a Kay Jewelers box with a simple, white gold, band inside.
I stood there shocked for probably two full minutes. This was the last thing I expected. I thought I had at least seven more months!
My mind ran a mile a minute, though not really getting anywhere. I knew I was supposed to say something but I couldn't think of any words! Finally I said, "Of course!" and threw myself into his arms again as he stood up, smiling.
We hugged for a minute, I got a little choked up, and then he said, "Let's go tell people!"
Turns out that a few weeks before this, Parker's dad had told him, "When you propose, you can use my car". So when Parker asked for the keys his dad said, "So it's tonight, huh?" :)
We planned to get married July 30th and even had the temple scheduled. Then we crunched some numbers and realized that we could not afford for me to go to Russia. It was one of the hardest decisions I ever made because I'd been looking forward to it for so long. However, I realized that my family (Parker and I) was more important to me then Russia, so if what I needed to do was not go, I would do what I had to. I haven't looked back. I have no regrets on not going.
We're now getting married April 16th in the Draper temple and I've never been so happy, excited, or felt more safe and loved than I have for the past two months.
I have been truly blessed with an amazing fiancee, a good family, and a fantastic future family of in-laws.
Thank you to everyone who has supported us!

so happy alaura! I'm so excited for you and parker and the eternity you'll spend together. Cant wait to hear more about you and him and all of your adventures together!ReplyDelete
This made me smile!! You told me about it but I never got details like this. I'm so excited for your wedding! I just feel bad I won't be able to go inside the temple with you guys, but it'll be okay. hahah, you'll be able to come with me when I get married!! (Which is a while away but you never know!) it'll be so much fun.

SARATOGA SPRINGS — Jockey Shaun Bridgmohan rode his first horse of the meet Monday, guiding Fayoum to a second place finish in the third race. Bridgmohan picked up the mount late; he wasn't scheduled to ride until Wednesday.
The jockey has been out of action ever since July 6 when he broke a vetebrae in his back in an accident at Churchill Downs. He has been working horses at Saratoga but the inactivity in the afternoons was beginning to drive him a little loopy.
"When I first got hurt, I had to lay low and not do anything for three weeks," Bridgmohan said Monday morning. "Man, I was just bored out of my mind."
He is listed to ride one horse on Wednesday.
