Also I'm in love with Lindt's Dark Chocolate with A Touch of Sea Salt. The stuff is amazing. After experimenting with a paleo caramel slice recipe, and eating the fore mentioned chocolate, I was inspired to make my doughnuts salted, caramel and of course, chocolate. The actual cake recipe is just something I completely made up on the spot. I was pretty surprised to have them turn out perfectly the first time. Things don't always do that for me.
Paleo Chocolate and Salted Caramel Muffins/Doughnuts
For the cake mix:
1 cup almonds
1 cup dates
30g grass-fed butter
1 tbs coconut cream
1/2 cup water
2 tsp apple cider vinegar
1 tsp bicarb soda
2 free range eggs
3 tbs cocoa
pinch salt
Pre heat oven to 200c.
Process almonds until starts to clump together, transfer to bowl. Process dates with cream and melted butter until smooth, blend in water. Transfer date mix to saucepan and simmer, stirring occasionally until mix darkens slightly. Remove from heat and leave to cool.
In the mean time, whisk eggs, then whisk in vinegar. Stir the bicarb, cocoa and salt into the almond meal.
Whisk date caramel into the egg mix, then mix in the dry ingredients.
Bake in a greased pan for ~23 mins (Remember I have a doggy oven, they are ready when toothpick comes out clean). Let cool in pan.
For the frosting:
140g can coconut cream, from the fridge (if you live in Aus, I can't recommend Woolworths select coconut cream highly enough. I've tried so so so many brands and that is the best, plus there's no water)
1/2 cup dates
1 tsp sea salt
1/3 cup water
20g butter
Once again, make the caramel from dates as in previous instructions, using 1 tbs cream from the coconut cream measurement. Once your caramel is cool, stir in the salt. Then whip your coconut cream, and whip in the cooled caramel.
Assemble your chosen cake form by spreading the frosting over the top and finishing with a sprinkle of sea salt.

Firefighters gain ground on massive Washington blaze
Firefighters made progress Sunday battling a large wildfire that has burned thousands of acres of mountain wilderness in Washington state.
The wildfire — the largest of numerous ones burning in the West — started July 8 in Mills Canyon in Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest, which encompasses more than 4 million acres along the eastern slopes of the Cascade Range.
The fire has burned 34 square miles and is 25% contained, said Daniel O'Connor, a U.S. Forest Service spokesman at the fire command center.
The fire did not grow in size before dark Sunday, but O'Connor said firefighters were concerned about forecasts of possible lightning storms without rain overnight that could ignite dry brush.
Residents of 37 homes were ordered to evacuate, and people in 48 others were told to be ready to leave, he said.
"It's been a real good day on the fire so far,'' O'Conor said. "Crews made a lot of progress.''
Dry lightning — cloud-to-ground lightning without accompanying rainfall — has a 90% chance of igniting sagebrush and grass in the national forest, O'Connor says.
The fire, which is southwest of the central Washington town of Entiat, is being battled by 781 firefighters, and its cause has not been determined, he says.
Wildfires have plagued the drought-stricken West for months.
President Obama last week asked the House to fund $615 million for "emergency wildfire suppression activities" for fiscal year 2014. The request was attached to a larger request for $3.7 billion for improved border security and other immigration concerns.
While dry, hot weather adds to firefighters' concerns in the Northwest, other regions of the country are facing severe weather conditions.
Thunderstorms are forecast for upstate New York, northern and western Pennsylvania and the lower Midwest states Sunday afternoon and evening, according to senior meteorologist Kristina Pydynowski at AccuWeather.com. The Northeast and Mid-Atlantic will face "severe thunderstorms and flooding downpours" through at least Tuesday, she says.
In the Midwest, the first part of this week "will feel more like September than the middle of July," Pydynowski says. Advancing cooler air will not only cause temperatures to drop but also bring rain and severe thunderstorms across the Ohio and Tennessee valleys, she says.
The high temperature in Chicago will be 77 degrees on Monday and 71 degrees on Tuesday — much lower than Seattle's highs of 89 degrees on Monday and 90 degrees on Tuesday, according to AccuWeather.com. Chicago's predicted low temperature on Monday — 55 degrees — will approach the city's record low for that date, 52 degrees in 1967.
Firefighters in the West probably wish they could have some of the rain predicted for the Midwest, but they have made strides on their own.
Another fire in Washington — east of Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest — burned 400 acres in the Lake Chelan area and is 75% contained, O'Connor says. The fire, which began July 10, is expected to be fully contained Monday, he says.
Firefighters in Nevada were also successful in battling a wildfire that burned 15,246 acres in Washoe County, three miles south of the Oregon border.
The fire, which began July 1 "in a very remote area," is 98% contained and expected to be fully contained Monday, says Jeff Fontana, a Bureau of Land Management official.
In northern California, firefighters haven't made as much progress in a wildfire that has burned 3,700 acres in Shasta County. The fire is only 10% contained and is being fought by 1,056 firefighters, according to the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection.
Freddie Alexander Smoke III, 37, was arrested Saturday and accused of causing the fire and illegal marijuana cultivation, the agency said. The exhaust from Smoke's truck allegedly ignited dry grass at an illegal marijuana plot, according to the agency.

How to Use the Context
Inquiry Question
When the Southern states first considered secession, most people believed that if war came, it would be brief. They did not envision four years of fighting that would lead to cruel deaths and the thousands that were captured as prisoners of war. In 1862 a system of parole and exchange was informally adopted by the Union and Confederate governments. A "paroled" prisoner pledged not to participate in the war or assist his allies. He would often be released on the spot to proceed to a camp where paroled soldiers were concentrated until the two governments officially exchanged prisoners. He could then return to the military. In the fall of 1863, the U.S. government suspended exchanges. The growing number of captured soldiers soon began filling Union and Confederate prisons.
Although conditions were bad in both Southern and Northern prison camps, the large number of prisoner deaths at Georgia's Andersonville Prison, or Camp Sumter as it was officially known, combined with the defeat of the Confederate states resulted in national attention and public outrage on the treatment of Union prisoners there.

Chamfering to measure
With the LCD 300 ChamferCut, Liebherr now offers a standalone solution for chamfering with the increasingly popular ChamferCut process. At the EMO 2013 trade fair, Liebherr debuted an integrated machine orientated around the automotive industry, offering hobbing and chamfering with the ChamferCut process simultaneous with prime time operation. In 2014, the portfolio was extended to include an LC 300 ChamferCut for components up to 300 millimetres in diameter. It soon became apparent that there was a demand for a pure chamfering machine as well. To meet these requirements, Liebherr has now developed the autonomous ChamferCut machine. The LCD 300 ChamferCut can be deployed to enhance an existing machine park, to replace existing chamfering machines or assemble new lines.
The fundamental idea is speed and simplicity
The basic idea for the solution was clear: "This machine should be easy to operate and work as quickly as possible", explains Dr Hansjörg Geiser, head of gear cutting machine development & design. With the LCD 300 ChamferCut chamfering machine, workpiece clamping for chamfering can be geometrically optimised and smaller tools can be used. This achieves additional variance and broadens the area of use. Thanks to this technology and the fast tooling times, an LCD 300 ChamferCut machine can perform the same work as about two to three milling machines.
The result is a machine with extremely fast tooling times and optimised workpiece clamping. The operator can input and adjust data for the ChamferCut process with ease via CNC axes. New software has been developed for the user interface. This is orientated around the adjustment sheets of the FETTE ChamferCut tools. With graphic support and examples for adjustment corrections, the user can find his way around in no time. An intuitive guide simplifies machine operation.
The machine is loaded automatically using the trusted ring loader principle, though the use of robots or a gantry as an alternative loading system is also possible. This provides flexibility for inclusion in the automation process, for example via a plastic chain conveyor.
Cost effective and outstanding results
Compared with pressurised deburring and chamfering with end mills, chamfering with ChamferCut is becoming more and more popular as the machining costs with this method are the lowest. The special tools have a very long service life and easy to regrind. Precision chamfering with repeat accuracy, combined with long service lives speak in favour of the ChamferCut process. Little wonder, therefore, that the significance of chamfering with ChamferCut has grown in recent years. Chamfering is especially popular owing to the high level of quality associated with passenger vehicle and commercial vehicle manufacturers as well as in gearbox and engine manufacture: "In these areas of industry, the expectations are naturally very high", explains Hansjörg Geiser. "As gearboxes become more and more compact in their design, special requirements in chamfering quality arise that can be fulfilled particularly well with the ChamferCut process on Liebherr machines."
Good reasons for chamfering with Liebherr ChamferCut units:
- High chamfering speeds (short cycle times)
- No reduction in milling length
- Geometry of hob and ChamferCut can be selected freely
- Rigid clamping system during hobbing, adapted device for chamfer cutting
- Very small diameters possible (> 30 mm) with broad application possibilities
- High quality and precise chamfer forms
- Trouble-free chamfering of root of tooth
- Very long service life even with dry machining
- No needle chips
- Adjustment via CNC axes with simple tooling
- Lowest tool costs with chamfering by comparison
- Tools can be reground easily
- User-friendly data input

A look across the Atlantic Ocean shows several interesting trends in tractor technology. Smaller fields and narrow roads influence Western European machinery. Conversely, expansive land and production potential drive the trends in Eastern Europe.
Machinery manufacturers now have two distinct customer demands: highly sophisticated and maneuverable equipment for the intensively farmed and densely populated West; and more basic, high-output machines for the East. The following trends have emerged as a result.
1 Higher horsepower
Leading the technology charge in Western Europe are row-crop tractors with 350 to 380 engine horsepower. There's no reason why the power limit should not increase to more than 400 hp, providing tire technology keeps up. These European high-horsepower tractors aren't just basic pulling machines. They come equipped with all of the latest and most sophisticated technologies—everything from electronic lift control and continuously variable transmissions (CVT) to ISOBUS universal controls and the latest GPS guidance systems.
2 Niche tractors with more power and narrow width
Two years ago, Fendt previewed a prototype of a six-wheel tractor; this past year, Deutz-Fahr unveiled its Agro XXL eight-wheeler. These are tractors with 450 hp (Fendt) to 600 hp (Deutz-Fahr) and a transport width of less than 9.9'.
This "narrow" configuration enables the high-horsepower tractors to not only work for a couple of weeks in the field but also to extend their use to towing trailers and tanks and jobs such as mowing—either with mowers in reverse mode or with one mower at the front and two at the rear—with a working width of 30' to 36'.
3 Highly sophisticated multiuse tractors
Claas is continually refining its Xerion, a huge workhorse with multiple cab configurations, four wheels of equal size and steering options. Claas recently expanded the series to include two models with 480 and 524 engine horsepower, two steered axles and a top travel speed of more than 31 mph.
4 Electronics for more precise and comfortable work
Claas, John Deere and New Holland offer an "auto-fill" option for self-propelled foragers. A camera watches and guides the forager to fill the trailer evenly from end to end, without the help of the driver.
5 Push-off trailers for high performance
Biogas is the top renewable fuel in Europe. Feedstock supply to biogas plants increases the need for high capacities in transportation. The distances to the plants aren't long enough to demand trucks, so this category of grain trailers fills the need.
6 Continuously variable transmissions
CVTs are increasingly popular with European farmers. AGCO's Fendt is the only brand to market a complete line of CVT models, from 70 hp to 360 hp. Other companies are extending CVT offerings—either by having specific CVT models in their range (CNH) or by selling a CVT option for existing models (John Deere).
7 High-speed farming
Most new tractors in Europe are sold with top speeds of 19 mph or 25 mph. Many models between 180 hp and 350 hp feature standard speeds of 31 mph. Even 37 mph is available on some tractors.
These higher speeds bring the obligation to make machines safe through the use of anti-lock braking systems (ABS) and electronic stability programs (ESP) for improved handling.
In Germany, the potential maximum limit for tractor speed is about 37 mph. The German autobahn requires a minimum speed of 37 mph, and most engineers can't imagine finding a tractor with a plow or rake on the country's main high-speed highway.
However, JCB has offered tractors with 50 mph capability for years, and Mercedes-Benz plans to increase activity in the ag sector with Unimog.
8 Highly sophisticated suspension systems
In addition to ABS and ESP, higher travel speeds have encouraged a more in-depth focus on suspension systems. According to European law, a suspended front axle is required for speeds of 31 mph or more. Cab suspension is not required, although many farmers spend extra to achieve the most comfortable ride. The same applies to front suspension: Even though it is not legally required, there are customers who invest $7,500 for the technology.
The interest in "intelligent suspension systems" grows. These systems provide the entire cab with what John Deere has been achieving with its "active seat."
9 GPS-controlled guidance systems
GPS has and will continue to have a major effect on farming methods. In Europe, you will find the complete range of GPS controls in tractor cabs—from entry-level lightbars to top-of-the-range GPS auto-steering with RTK
correction. As in the U.S., some farmers are hesitant when it comes to tech adoption and don't know how to justify the cost.
10 Telematics
Telematics is a form of digital communication whereby the machine collects data while at work in the field and makes this information available on the Internet for the owner's use.
11 Biofuels and electric power
Two manufacturers market biofuel tractors with two-tank systems for cold-pressed rapeseed oil. The reduced diesel price during the past 18 months has led to less of an incentive for
farmers to test these new fuels.
Electric power is another popular subject at farmer meetings. John Deere introduced its E Premium tractors with high-voltage generators.
The next generation of tractors with fuel cells has been previewed in the shape of New Holland's NH2 tractor. This is undoubtedly an interesting development, but at this stage it is still very much a prototype. This machine won't be commercially available for another three to five years.
There is certainly no denying that we're in an extremely exciting period in the continuing development of the agricultural tractor.
Manfred Neunaber is editor of profi, a Germany-based international farm machinery publication.

Perhaps you live in the heart of the Arizona desert, a devotee of dry heat and mesas. Or maybe you're a resident of Maine looking to give your living room a little kick. Wherever you call home, no house can't benefit from some Southwestern style.
Flavorful and exotic, Southwestern architecture and décor make up some of America's most unique interior design touches. If you're looking for the right mix of style for your home, you may find what you need in Spanish hacienda roofing or stucco walls. Consider some of these stylish options.
1. Hardwood floors. While the classic creamy color of stucco walls are an iconic part of Southwestern architecture, nothing fits them quite so well as dark hardwood floors. Knotted with whorls and rich character, these floors will bring any room to life in your home. Choosing engineered hardwood over solid may be a wise decision, especially if you want to have radiant heat installed under the boards. Even the heart of New Mexico can get chilly at night, so be sure you've got an energy-efficient heating option.
2. Turquoise paint. It's easy to get carried away with this color, but remember that the desert is host to a rich and evocative variety of hues, all of which turquoise can beautifully accent. Try painting some old wood cabinets or drawers with turquoise paint to bring the character of the wood grain to startling new life. You can also use it to highlight navy blue tiling or rust-red ceramic pots holding houseplants.
3. Navajo rugs. These geometrical designs are immediately evocative of the Southwest and its rich native traditions. They can also light up a sandy-hued stucco-walled room, bringing the space to colorful life.
4. Earthenware pottery. Terra-cotta is second only to the brilliant colors of the Navajo rugs in bringing traditional Southwestern style into a home. Whether you put them on display or utilize them in your cooking, some terra-cotta pots and dishes will liven up your kitchen. If you've got a talent for ceramics, fire a few yourself. Try various glazes too, including turquoise!
5. Distressed furniture. Take a pad of sandpaper to your chairs and wooden furnishings. Giving them the worn and sturdy look of handcrafted furniture is a great way to fill them with the rugged character and history of the Southwest.

Rays Emerging as Modern Baseball Gladiators
A Gladiator is deemed one who is an armed combatant who entertained the audiences in the Roman Republic with violent confrontations and engagement with both fellow warriors, animals and in some cases, condemned souls. The term gladiator is actually Latin in origin meaning "swordsman" from the original word "gladius" or "sword".
The first sighting of the rejuvenation of this classic Roman warrior reared its head on Monday evening when Rays closer Fernando Rodney (Maximus Savous Gameous) and his partner in battle Joel Peralta (Setus Gameous Maximus) donned the headgear of the Roman Centurions. It was quite a sight to see the pair of Bullpen comrades in arms sitting there stoic in the Rays dugout before their quest to the Bullpen.
Seems kind of apropos that the Tampa Bay Rays have taken on the historic persona lately of these grand entertaining warriors of old as the game of baseball has always been about the attack, the mano-on-mano engagement of pitchers and hitters and the ultimate entertainment ebb and flow that pulsates throughout the stadium on any given play or action.
Like their Roman counterparts, the end result is to gain the victory or die trying. Gone are the menacing lethal weapon of yore that combatants use to eliminate and produce pain and suffering upon their victims. Today clubs made of ash, maple and pine replace the menacing swords,and deadly weaponry. Leather padded fielding and batting gloves and other assorted protective gear aimed at diverting blows and direct hits have replaced heavy and restricting chain-mail, shields and armor. A sphere of white leather is the fondest tool of their trade. It can be thrust, scuffed and even propelled to heights and distances beyond the arena's turf and into the hands of the new (Rays) Republic.
But today just as it was so long ago, the men who partake in these games do it as much for the adulation and cheers of the crowd as they do for their fellow combatants. For it is the cheers or jeers of the assembled masses that energize, vitalize and make these men want to fight to the last out, cursing a loss as if it was the admittance of an open wound. The Rays Republic have always been vocal to the cause and effect of their combatants, showing praise even in the dire times and pure adulation in the moment just after securing victory. In that manner, the two societies inter-mingle with grand clarity.
Then after last night's heroics, 2 more legionnaires of Rays descent Carlos Pena (Hittus Ballus Longous) and Luke Scott (Wolerinous Magnus) made their on-screen appearance bearing the same garb and distinctive helmet accessory as Rodney and Peralta a day earlier. It really was a great interview, with the crowning touch of Scott looking deep into the camera lens possibly scaring a few young kids ( hopefully not).
But that goes to show the character of this team. They are a true band of comrades battling it out in a 162 game war that has seen its share of casualties and heroic moments. I always thought the 2008 team had that special something, possibly that extra sports chromosome that would bring them victory in November, but we all know of the Fall of the Rays 2008 Empire. This season's team feels more energized and bit more prepared for the long journey again possibly into those cooler night when victories are savored and cherished for eternity.
This Rays team does bode well with their Roman counterparts as each fought to preserve their way of life or process. Both have brought innovative ideals and procedures to fill their arsenal and each reincarnated past winning strategies and forgotten maneuvers and thus them up for all to see and bask at as they take their victories. Like their Roman counterparts, these modern combatants live a better life compensated for their grand actions and reveled by the throngs of the Rays Republic for their game day deeds as well as their action off the field of battle.
And their mentor and Field General Joe Maddon instills the truth and balance that makes this whole unit stand united as well as loose and ready to change their battle plan at a tip of the cap. Fine tuned plays, signals and the rhythm of playing together as a single unit has strengthened their resolve and boasted their confidence as they strut onto the turf, just like the gladiators of old.
I think the Roman Emperor Commodus would give a robust "thumbs up" to these modern Rays gladiators.

Imagine taking a 500 square foot apartment with only one window and make it liveable. I had posted a photo of this not too long ago, but I didn't have any photos of the rest of the place. I love the sleeping nook in this apartment and the space was just executed so well.
"[They] incorporated tons of white and wood to open the space and make it feel lighter. They also removed most of the doors and replaced the empty wall space with sleek and simple compact storage. In fact, there is storage space within nearly every surface of the apartment, including overhead spots and even tucked into the stairs climbing toward the loft. Minimal fixtures and alcoves built directly into the tile walls make the bathroom appear large and luxurious, even by New York standards! The kitchen also feels super spacious with even more storage and ultra chic appliances offset by brightening white tile."

It's almost that time of year when the "Christians" strut around thump their bibles and think Christmas is all about them.
For me the Xmas holiday is disturbed by painful memories. Family deaths at this time, relationships that did not survive till the spring, jobs that did not pan out, and dreams that were never fulfilled.
When I go to a store, all decked out for the holidays, I can see the associations build and I can be once again transported to moments of unsettledness. The toy section reminds me of a sister that died young, and never had a chance to play with the toys that were still under the tree at New Years.
My father died on my 43rd birthday, just a few days before Xmas, and I gave his eulogy before our large family. I was the oldest, and it fell to me.
And on it goes....
Britain's Roswell festival ^_^ hehe
Here is what Jehovah says about Christmas trees:
Jeremiah 10:1 Hear the word which the Lord speaks to you, O house of Israel. 2 Thus says the Lord:
"Learn not the way of the nations,
nor be dismayed at the signs of the heavens
because the nations are dismayed at them,
3 for the customs of the peoples are false.
A tree from the forest is cut down,
and worked with an axe by the hands of a craftsman.
4 Men deck it with silver and gold;
they fasten it with hammer and nails
so that it cannot move.
5 Their idols[a] are like scarecrows in a cucumber field,
and they cannot speak;
they have to be carried,
for they cannot walk.
Be not afraid of them,
for they cannot do evil,
neither is it in them to do good."
I love Christmas. So sue me.
I love Bach's Xmas Oratorio and Handel's the Messiah and Verdi's requiem. The Mosque of Shiraz and reading the helarious fiction of the Bible and of course Xmas. My atheist friends love Xmas too. And during the spare time you have during the holidays...you can ponder:
execution for apostacy, genital mutilation, woman chained to the kitchen in their burkha, children denied medical treatment, work place descrimination, creationism taught in schools.
Or we can stir up shit over a tree in the village square and singing about living snowmen and red lighted reindeer while we give each other gifts and get drunk after enormous meals.
I used to have that attitude @Tim, of quoting scriptures to make other xians to see how wrong they were to celebrate xms, and calling passover weekend Easter weekend etc. But since I became a freethinker I just enjoy another excuse of enjoying my cognac and Windhoek Draught the whole week or weekend without anyone saying I have a drinking problem.
Sadly, I would rather ignore the whole thing.
Make a nice dinner, talk about ideas, and the coming spring. I do have to say that a nice glass of warm brandy, 'Tears of Christ', would help round the cold off to only a dull ache.
Sadly I have no expectation to visited Brazil anytime soon to obtain a bottle...

- Class Size Core Required
Course Description: The purpose of this course is to provide grade 8 students, using texts of high complexity, advanced integrated language arts study in reading, writing, speaking, listening, and language for college and career preparation and readiness.
Honors and Advanced Level Course Note: Academic rigor is more than simply assigning to students a greater quantity of work. Through the application, analysis, evaluation, and creation of complex ideas that are often abstract and multi-faceted, students are challenged to think and collaborate critically on the content they are learning.
The content should include, but not be limited to, the following:
- active reading of varied texts for what they say explicitly, as well as the logical inferences drawn
- analysis of literature and informational texts from varied literary periods to examine:
- text craft and structure
- elements of literature
- arguments and claims supported by textual evidence
- power and impact of language
- influence of history, culture, and setting on language
- personal critical and aesthetic response
- writing for varied purposes
- developing and supporting argumentative claims
- crafting coherent, supported informative/expository texts
- responding to literature for personal and analytical purposes
- writing narratives to develop real or imagined events
- writing to sources using text- based evidence and reasoning
- effective listening, speaking, and viewing strategies with emphasis on the use of evidence to support or refute a claim in multimedia presentations, class discussions, and extended text discussions
- collaboration amongst peers
Special Notes:
Instructional Practices: Teaching from well-written, grade-level instructional materials enhances students' content area knowledge and also strengthens their ability to comprehend longer, complex reading passages on any topic for any purpose. Using the following instructional practices also helps student learning.
- Reading assignments from longer text passages, as well as shorter ones when text is extremely complex.
- Making close reading and rereading of texts central to lessons.
- Asking high-level, text-specific questions and requiring high-level, complex tasks and assignments.
- Requiring students to support answers with evidence from the text.
- Providing extensive text-based research and writing opportunities (claims and evidence).
English Language Development ELD Standards Special Notes Section:
Teachers are required to provide listening, speaking, reading and writing instruction that allows English language learners (ELL) to communicate information, ideas and concepts for academic success in the content area of Language Arts. For the given level of English language proficiency and with visual, graphic, or interactive support, students will interact with grade level words, expressions, sentences and discourse to process or produce language necessary for academic success. The ELD standard should specify a relevant content area concept or topic of study chosen by curriculum developers and teachers which maximizes an ELL's need for communication and social skills.

Fran Ryan remembers moving to Forest Park in the early 1960s, a time when residents helped one another like family, looking after neighbors' kids and even pitching in to help with the laundry.
Fran Ryan remembers moving to Forest Park in the early 1960s, a time when residents helped one another like family, looking after neighbors' kids and even pitching in to help with the laundry.
"I could have never survived raising five kids and being on City Council without my neighbors," said Ryan, who was a council member in the 1970s and has lived in Forest Park for 47 years. "I think it was having young children in common. Children bring you together."
That spirit of cooperation is even more important now as the North Side neighborhood works to stave off a recent, sudden jump in crime.
Forest Park, tucked around bustling Karl and Dublin-Granville roads, offers residents homey living circled by urban activity.
Street names such as Satinwood, Ironwood, Sandalwood and Teakwood reflect the urban forest setting. The area was developed to be a self-contained community in the 1950s, with its own shopping and recreation outlets.
Giant trees with sprawling branches tower over homes, ranging from modest ranches to split-levels.
Karl Road splits the neighborhood into Forest Park West and Forest Park East. The east has the commercial roundabout of Tamarack Circle, the North YMCA, apartment complexes and Northland High School. The west is mostly residential, along with Woodward Park.
A billboard on Karl informs residents of the latest community events. The Forest Park Civic Association, founded 47 years ago, publishes a monthly newsletter that is distributed to 4,000 homes.
Residents and business owners hope that community involvement will help deal with a series of crimes in the fall, including the shooting of a Dairy Queen owner in Tamarack Circle and a separate triple shooting days later, which left one person dead.
Columbus police and the community have already cooperated to make the area safer, said Officer Scott Clinger, the liaison officer to the neighborhood.
Businesses are bringing additional lighting, private security and special-duty officers into the circle, Clinger said. Block watches have increased their vigilance.
Despite concerns about the spike in crime, Forest Park continues to attract new residents, said Mary Sguerra, a real-estate agent with Real Living HER who has been selling property there since 1981. Home prices range from $90,000 to $160,000. "You can get a lot of house for the money," said Sguerra, who has lived in the neighborhood since 1987. "A lot of houses have beautiful hardwood floors. A lot of them have fireplaces."
The homes are attracting young families, Sguerra said. "It's a rejuvenation of the neighborhood. When you get new people, they want to get involved and make it better."
Cecilia Marrone, 48, grew up in Forest Park and moved out after high school. She returned in 1998 to live in her childhood home with her husband, Bill Marrone, 59, after her parents, Albert and Betty Jo DeMers, died.
The desire to live in the old home was a factor in returning, but so was the neighborhood's comfortable setting.
Her twin 17-year-old sons, Zachery and Tyler, have attended the same schools she did, including Northland High, where they are seniors.
"Northland is very diverse, and it's representative of the community," Mrs. Marrone said. The neighborhood has a growing mix of African and Latino immigrants. "The kids have been exposed to a lot of things, and that's great."
Forest Park Elementary is a quality school that helps lure families, said Bobbi Sprague, a parent consultant at the school.
The elementary, which the state rated as being in "academic emergency" during the 2002-03 school year, has continued to improve since meeting federal reading and writing standards in the 2007-08 school year.
"We have an awesome school, great teachers and we're getting younger families in," said Sprague, a 13-year Forest Park resident whose son Hayden, 7, is a first-grader at the school.
The trend of city living and solid neighborhood values is pulling people back, Ryan said.
"I think they want to live in the city, and if you want to live in the city, this is a great place to live," she said.

AMERICUS, Ga. - It was a tale of two halves for the Georgia Southwestern Lady Hurricanes Thursday evening in the Storm Dome as the Blue & Gold couldn't maintain the momentum from a strong first half and stretched out their current losing streak to 10 games, succombing to Peach Belt foe Columbus State, 79-61.
GSW sophomore guard Kayla Dayton scored seven quick points as the Lady 'Canes raced out to a 13-5 lead five minutes into the contest.
Southwestern held the lead for the majority of the first half but the Lady Cougars slowly fought back and and took the lead, 33-32 on a made three-point basket from Shan Basley with just over a minute remaining in the half.
The Blue & Gold quickly responded and closed the first half strong scoring the final six points to give GSW a 38-33 lead going into halftime.
In the second period it was all Columbus State.
The Lady Cougars used 50 percent shooting (17-34), including a hot 5-10 from the behind the arc, to score 46 second half points to run away from Southwestern, 79-61.
The Lady Cougars, currently leading the Peach Belt Conference in three pointer field goals per game, lived up to their hot shooting reputation as CSU ended the game shooting 53.3 percent (8-15) from three point territory.
Dayton led Georgia Southwestern (3-18, 1-13 PBC) with 14 points while junior forward Ottishia Burden came off the bench to chip in a career-high 10 points.
Southwestern's leading scorer Jasmine McSwain was held to only five points on the evening, but the freshman forward contributed a game-high six steals in a contest that saw a combined 56 turnovers between the two teams.
Columbus State (12-9, 8-6 PBC) was paced by Basley's 22 points. The senior guard finished the game shooting 4-of-5 from behind the arc.
GSW will be back in action this Saturday as the Blue & Gold hosts Georgia College in the Storm Dome for a 5:30 p.m. contest.

A stroke happens when a blood vessel in the brain is blocked or bursts. Without blood and the oxygen it carries, part of the brain starts to die. Then the part of the body controlled by that area of the brain can't work properly.
Brain damage can start within minutes of a stroke. But quick treatment can help limit brain damage and increase the chance of a full recovery.

Clinton, Michigan — Eden Foods adds roasted and shelled Eden Organic Pistachios to its new line of 4 ounce healthy snacks.
Eden Organic Pistachios are organically grown on a thirteen year organic family orchard in California's Central Valley. They are the prized Kerman variety - plump, bright green, crunchy, and buttery. A mildly sweet and lightly salty, 'good for you' snack delivering heart healthy monounsaturated fatty acids, 7 grams per 3 tablespoon serving, with no cholesterol. They're a good source of protein, dietary fiber, thiamin (vitamin B1), and manganese.
Eden Organic Pistachios are harvested in late August to early October when the hulls turn rosy and the shells split indicating ideal ripeness. At harvest, machines shake the tree for several seconds causing the ripe pistachios to fall into a canvas frame. The frame prevents the pistachios from touching the ground, which causes bruising and staining. It also prohibits soil bacteria from entering the nuts preventing aflatoxins. The nuts are hulled, dried, sorted, and shipped to Eden's Clinton, Michigan AIB International Superior rated facility. Here they are rotary oven dry roasted, lightly misted with Eden Sea Salt, and packaged.
Pistachios Pistacia vera grow on trees in heavy clumps similar to grape clusters, and like almonds have a soft outer hull. They're called the 'green almond' as well as the 'happy' or 'smiling' nut for resembling a smiling face with their split shell. Enjoyed for at least 10,000 years, pistachios are one of the oldest nuts indigenous to ancient Persia, an area stretching from the Mediterranean to Afghanistan.
Pistachios grew in the hanging gardens of Babylon, and are one of two nuts mentioned in the Old Testament along with almonds. In Persia it was believed that good fortune and happiness came to couples enjoying the captivating flavor of the pistachio, while listening to the cracking sound of the shells above their heads as they strolled through the orchards.
California's Central Valley with its Mediterranean-like climate is the only place in the U.S. where pistachios can be grown. Today California is the second largest producer of pistachios in the world, next to Iran.
In the 1930s American plant scientist William E. Whitehouse spent months in Persia collecting pistachio seeds. He returned with 20 pounds of Kerman seeds. It wasn't until the 1970s that the pistachio became a viable commercial crop in California.
Eden Organic Pistachios can be ground and used to make cream sauces and desserts, tossed whole or chopped in stir fries, pastas, green or fruit salads, pilafs, couscous and wild rice dishes, any baked good, party mixes, and any cereal.
These ten snacks come in easy to merchandise, 4 ounce reclosable pouches.
- Organic Pistachios — NEW
- All Mixed Up — Nuts, seeds, and dried fruit lightly salted
- All Mixed Up Too — Seeds, nuts, and dried fruit
- Organic Tamari Almonds — Dry roasted and misted with tamari soy sauce
- Organic Dried Wild Blueberries — Hand harvested low bush Canadian
- Organic Dried Cranberries — Organic apple juice sweetened
- Dried Montmorency Tart Cherries — Organic apple juice sweetened
- Organic Pumpkin Seeds — Dry roasted and lightly salted

- Organic Wild Berry Mix — Dried berries, nuts and seeds, no salt
All are low or very low sodium, 15 bags per box, in merchandisable cases. The bags are hole punched for strip displays. kosher pareve.

San Diego Mayor Bob Filner released a statement on Thursday afternoon apologizing to city residents, hours after he was accused of sexually harassing numerous female employees.
"I begin today by apologizing to you. I have diminished the office to which you elected me. I have reached into my heart and soul and realize I must and will change my behavior," he said in the DVD.
Read Mayor's Full Statement Here
Earlier Thursday, three high-profile San Diegans described sexual harassment allegations involving "numerous" female employees of Mayor Bob Filner who were subjected to "unfortunate and reprehensible circumstances" but refused to reveal victim identities or details of the alleged behavior.
Special Section: Mayor Under Fire
Filner continued, "As someone who has spent a lifetime fighting for equality for all people, I am embarrassed to admit that I have failed to fully respect the women who work for me and with me, and that at times I have intimidated them.
"I am also humbled to admit that I need help. I have begun to work with professionals to make changes in my behavior and approach. In addition, my staff and I will participate in sexual harassment training provided by the city.
"Please know that I fully understand that only I am the one who can make these changes. If my behavior doesn't change I cannot succeed in leading our city.
"In the next few days, I will be reaching out to those who now work to those who now work in the Mayor's Office or have previously worked for me - both men and women - to personally apologize for my behavior."
Filner then said that residents have every right to be disappointed in him.
"I only ask that you give me an opportunity to prove I am capable of change, so that the vision I have for our city's future can be realized," he said.
The attorney representing the women who claim Filner sexually harrassed them said he will not comment until Friday, saying he wants to speak with clients first and find out if they are satisfied with this apology.

You read that headline correctly: Rocky Balboa and Jake La Motta - or, rather, the now-sexugenarians who brought them to life onscreen - may face off in a boxing comedy titled Grudge Match.
Speculation that Sylvester Stallone and Robert De Niro could co-headline Grudge Match has been ongoing ever since Peter Segal (Anger Management, Get Smart) closed a deal to direct the film, back in October 2010. Back then, the Grumpy Old Men-style laughfest was based on a script draft penned solely by onetime Arsenio Hall Show staff writer Tim Kelleher.
Jump ahead to the present-day and The Wrap is reporting that Stallone and De Niro have begun talks to work together on Grudge Match. Moreover, the script has now been retooled by a handful of writers - including (most recently) Entourage creator Doug Ellin.
Stallone and De Niro previously shared the screen in the 1997 crime drama Cop Land. Recently, Stallone has been enjoying a trip down memory lane, with his roles in such macho movie throwbacks as The Expendables (and this summer's sequel), next year's buddy flick Bullet to the Head, and the currently-shooting prison escape thriller The Tomb. De Niro, meanwhile, has spent the last few years appearing in a variety of action and comedy vehicles alike; that trend will continue in the future, as the acting legend has parts in upcoming titles like Last Vegas (a.k.a. The Hangover with old guys) and Luc Besson's latest action-comedy production, Malavita, among others.
The respective differences in Stallone and De Niro's current physique (see above) would, in theory, only heighten the comedy factor in Grudge Match - which will see the pair play former boxing rivals, who return to the ring for one final battle of fists. Segal has a long history of churning out competent (if only occasionally "good") high-concept comedies as a director; similarly, Grudge Match recalls the setup for Segal's so-so 1996 comedy My Fellow Americans, which also revolved around a pair of aging rivals (there, ex-presidents).
In short: Grudge Match doesn't exactly sound like a brilliant variation on previous films about cranky old guys who head out for one last hurrah (Space Cowboys, The Bucket List, etc.), but it could have some entertainment value.
Grudge Match has technically not been greenlit yet, but it's expected to begin production by early 2013. As always, we will keep you posted.

TOKYO/WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Japan and Australia plan to sanction North Korea's Foreign Trade Bank as part of U.S.-led efforts targeting Pyongyang's main foreign exchange bank for the role Washington says it has in funding the country's nuclear program.
A Japanese government source said Tokyo could act within the next two to three weeks. Australian Foreign Ministry sources said Canberra might also unveil sanctions soon.
A senior U.S. official said the Obama administration was trying to convince other governments to crack down on the bank after Washington announced its own measures this month.
Washington had urged the European Union to take action, a State Department official said on Monday. David Cohen, the U.S. Treasury undersecretary for terrorism and financial intelligence, told reporters he raised the issue of the bank with Chinese officials in Beijing last week, although he did not say what their response was.
Experts said the U.S. move was designed to make foreign banks that do business in the United States think twice about dealing with the Foreign Trade Bank, much the same way banks have become wary about having ties with financial institutions in sanctions-hit Iran.
"It was obvious to us, fairly early on, that this bank is key to the North Korean ability to finance and fund" their nuclear and ballistic missile programs, said the senior U.S. official, who spoke on condition of anonymity. "And so it was decided it would make sense to do everything we could to put pressure on their proliferation efforts and their WMD (weapons of mass destruction) efforts by putting pressure on this bank."
Not much is publicly known about the bank. One South Korean expert said it also handled legitimate trade and investment with China. The State Department official said some EU countries with embassies in Pyongyang used the bank for embassy business.
Washington had asked the U.N. Security Council to include the bank in fresh sanctions imposed on North Korea for its February 12 nuclear test, but China and Russia were opposed, said the senior U.S. official and U.N. diplomats. They did not say why Beijing and Moscow rejected the proposal.
Neither Russia's U.N. mission in New York nor China's had an immediate comment. Russia and China each wield vetoes in the Security Council.
The United States announced its unilateral measures against the bank several days after the U.N. resolution was passed on March 7. Washington's measures prohibit any transactions between U.S. entities or individuals and the North Korean bank.
The Japanese government source with direct knowledge of the matter said Tokyo was expected to announce sanctions once legal documents were prepared.
"The (bank) doesn't have a branch in Japan so the main reason behind the move is an attempt to cause as much reputational damage as possible," the source said, referring to any institutions that might be doing business with the bank.
In Canberra, Foreign Ministry sources said sanctions would be applied to prevent Foreign Trade Bank operations in Australia. Talks were under way with bank representatives, the sources said, declining to say what the measures would be or where the talks were taking place.
The office of Foreign Minister Bob Carr said that up to now regulators had yet to find any record of a Foreign Trade Bank branch in Australia. Australia has diplomatic ties with Pyongyang. Japan does not.
"We are continuing to review our sanctions regime against North Korea, including the further tightening of financial sanctions," said a spokeswoman for Carr.
The senior U.S. official indicated the American campaign was not meant to be coercive, but rather aimed at explaining Washington's concerns about the bank and advising other countries to take similar action. The United States took that approach, warning other countries and banks of reputational risk, in its drive to cut off Iran's access to the global financial system.
One expert said Washington was following up U.N. sanctions with its own, tougher measures, which meant going after specific entities and isolating them.
"Then countries have to decide whether they want to do business with North Korea, or do business with the rest of the financial community," said Mark Dubowitz from the Washington-based Foundation for Defense of Democracies, who has advised the Obama administration on sanctions focused mainly on Iran.
The new U.N. sanctions tighten financial curbs on North Korea, including the illicit transfer of bulk cash, and crack down on its attempts to ship and receive banned cargo.
One of the challenges is stopping the transfer of bulk cash, which U.N. diplomats say is one of Pyongyang's preferred methods of moving money - often in briefcases carried by its diplomats. Sanctions on the Foreign Trade Bank could force North Korean diplomats to carry more cash, exposing them to the risk of capture, the Japanese government source said.
The success of the new U.N. measures depends to a large extent on China, North Korea's sole diplomatic ally and its major trading partner.
However, China has become increasingly frustrated with North Korea, Chinese experts have said. Besides the latest nuclear test, North Korea launched a long-range missile in December and has stepped up its rhetoric against the United States and South Korea.
Cho Bong-hyun, an expert on the North Korean economy at the IBK Economic Institute in Seoul, said China might act against the bank but would not shut it down. China's actions could include limiting the bank's activities in China, partly by making it harder to transmit money, Cho said.
"The impact would be significant. It could mean the flow of money through the bank would dry up. The key is China is not likely to impose such actions indefinitely," he said.
The State Department official, briefing reporters in Brussels on Monday on condition he not be further identified, said it was complicated for the EU to impose sanctions on the bank because some European countries used it in Pyongyang.
Non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and humanitarian organizations may also use the bank, he said, adding: "We are not going after NGOs that do legitimate work."
An EU source said the bank was not on the current EU sanctions list. EU diplomats are expected to discuss additional sanctions soon, the source said.
The senior U.S. official contrasted the effort against the Foreign Trade Bank with the 2005 U.S. action against Macau-based Banco Delta Asia (BDA), which Washington alleged handled illicit funds for Pyongyang. Some $25 million in North Korean money was frozen in that U.S. Treasury-inspired raid.
Unlike BDA, the Foreign Trade Bank is a domestic North Korean institution.
"This is more an effort to impede their financial system's ability to operate" in the nuclear and missile sector, the senior U.S. official said.

Dove Men+Care Gets Fans Into March Madness With Major Social Media Campaign
By Barry Janoff
March 7, 2012: Tapping into what might be one of the top two online sports viewerships of the year, Unilever brand Dove Men+Care plans one of the biggest social media pushes in NCAA men's basketball tournament history.
Dove Men+Care "Journey to Comfort" will include Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, Amazon and Viggle. The campaign also features a series of March Madness TV spots, all anchored by new deals with former NBA star and current TV analyst Shaquille O'Neal, two-time NBA MVP Steve Nash and Michigan State University head basketball coach Tom Izzo.
Comparing 2011 against 2010, CBS and Turner reported a 63% increase in total digital visits and a 17% increase in total hours of streamed video, according to marketing research firm Kantar Media, New York. In 2011, advertisiers spend $738 million during the NCAA men's hoops tournament, second only to the $900 million spent during Super Bowl XLV in February 2011.
Analysts predict that the 2012 Summer Olympics in London might be the only sports event to surpass 2012 March Madness in online viewership.
Unilever is in the second season of a multi-year deal as an official "corporate champion" of the NCAA.
The Dove Men+Care "Journey to Comfort" campaign during the NCAA men's basketball Division I tournament will see O'Neal, Nash and Izzo share personal experiences that have helped them "become comfortable in their own skin." The campaign is breaking this week at Dove's Web site and dedicated Facebook and YouTube destinations.
It will expand beginning on March 11, aka "Selection Sunday," when the teams and brackets for the 2012 NCAA tournament will be unveiled.
Throughout the tournament, Dove Men+Care will air a series of TV spots with O'Neal, Nash and Izzo on the networks covering March Madness: CBS and Turner Network's TBS, TNT and TruTV, as well as their online properties. The 2012 tournament culminates with the Final Four at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome in New Orleans on March 31 and April 1.
Among its social and new media activations, Dove Men+Care said it has partnered with Viggle, a loyalty program for television, to offer fans who check into NCAA basketball games within Viggle the "chance to earn extra points" by watching the 'Journey to Comfort' videos."
Visitors will have access to a Viggle Dove Men+Care NCAA tournament page featuring live tournament stats, discussions, "Journey to Comfort" talent videos, and opportunities to purchase Dove Men+Care products through Amazon.com.
The Dove Men+Care Twitter and Facebook pages will enable visitors to connect with O'Neal, Nash and Izzo for game predictions and basketball discussions. Their stories will also be available via downloadable Dove Men+Care apps for IOS or Android devices.

"I wasn't always 'the man,'" O'Neal says in one of his vignettes. "I had to work hard for my success in basketball, and had tremendous coaches along the way. Now I'm a coach, both as a father and to my teams at the Boys and Girls Club — growing into that role has been a huge part of my journey."
Nash, in one of his spots, recalls his senior year at the University of Santa Clara on Selection Sunday "waiting for our name to come up. I had the whole team at my house. When our name came up, I took off out of the house and ran four blocks as fast as I could. It was a huge sense of relief and joy. When I came back my teammates were waiting in front of the house. 'Where'd you go? What were you doing?'"

"This campaign takes even the most successful sports figures and transforms them from herculean to human," Rob Candelino, vp-brand building for Unilever Skincare, said in a statement. "Most men admire these three legends for leading their teams to victory, but when Shaq, Nash and Izzo talk about the most important 'team' to them, it's their children that take center court."
According to Candelino, this perspective will resonate "with fans who are also fathers, and not only enhances their NCAA tournament experience, but also their relationship with our brand."
O'Neal, Nash and Izzo join a roster of athletes and coaches who have appeared in past "Journey to Comfort" activation that includes Drew Brees, Albert Pujols, Joe Girardi, Andy Pettitte, Magic Johnson, John Thompson III, Bobby Hurley, Stewart Cink, Davis Love III and Kirk Herbstreit.

A historic city
With two airports to choose from – Belfast City and Belfast International – there's no shortage of ways of getting to this fabulously historic city whose rebirth and regeneration has given it a whole new lease of life. Shaped by its industrial past (it's where Titanic was built, after all) it's now stepping out from the shadows as a confident and dynamic 21st century city.
The centre of Belfast is well stocked with different shopping options, whether you're after high-street chains or something a bit more individual. The large Victoria Square Shopping Centre (1 Victoria Square) is the main focal point, with a Hugo Boss store recently joining the likes of Apple, House of Fraser and Ted Baker. For a quirkier purchase, try the kitsch-heavy Corium (37 Church Lane), which stocks everything from handmade jewellery to painted plaques, or Space Craft (9b The Fountain Centre), which showcases homeware from local designers. Elsewhere, Oakland Antiques (135-137 Donegall Pass) has two floors of quality antiques.
Food & Drink
Northern Ireland has plenty in the way of farmland and coastline, which means it's fairly straightforward to source local ingredients – the seafood is often particularly good. Belfast itself has a number of gems for food shoppers, among them the Arcadia Delicatessen (378 Lisburn Road) and the fresh produce at St George's Market (12-20 East Bridge Street), which is open on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. For an excellent meal out, meanwhile, the best options include Deane's (36-40 Howard Street), The Barking Dog (33-35 Malone Road) and Mourne Seafood Bar (34-36 Bank Street). It's always a sensible idea to book ahead of time.
Belfast Children's Festival
An arts festival geared at children and young people from the ages of three to 25, the event aims to instil and encourage creativity through a comprehensive programme of performances, readings and workshops across the city.
Belfast Titanic Maritime Festival
Belfast is famed for its Titanic connections (the vessel was built in the docks here), and its yearly maritime festival gives the chance to explore the city's seafaring heritage further. Various Titanic-themed events take place, and some magnificent ships are on view.
Festival of Fools
A fortnight of high-quality street performances, the Festival of Fools sees artists, acrobats, clowns and stuntmen descend on Belfast. Performers are paid a fixed amount, with any money collected going to the following year's festival.
Cathedral Quarter Arts Festival
An eclectic line-up of musicians, comedians, authors and visual artists makes this annual shindig in the Cathedral Quarter one of Belfast's top events. There are performances from established acts as well as up-and-coming names.
F�ile an Phobail
An annual festival focused on community arts and traditional music, F�ile an Phobail has been running for a quarter of a century. It was established to highlight the positive side of local community in the face of social troubles.
Belfast has a diverse cultural offering, encompassing everything from its shipbuilding heritage to its high-tempo nightlife, and its hotel portfolio is no less varied. The fabulous Merchant Hotel (16 Skipper Street) is a five-star property occupying a former bank with a spa and champagne bar, while there's a more modest price tag attached to the bright but functional Park Inn by Radisson Belfast (4 Clarence Street West), which benefits from a city centre location. The 23-room Ten Square Hotel (10 Donegall Square South) is a smart boutique option, and the Premier Inn Belfast Titanic Quarter (2A Queens Road) is well placed for the Odyssey Arena.

Tagged: Roger Clemens
Doc Halladay has won the 2010 NL Cy Young Award, receiving all 32 first place votes.
The BBWAA have just announced that Roy Halladay was voted the National League Cy Young Award, becoming the fifth pitcher to win the award as a pitcher in both league, as he had won the award in 2003 while pitching for the Toronto Blue Jays, joining Hall of Famer Gaylord Perry, future Hall of Famer Pedro Martinez, future Hall of Famer Randy Johnson and Roger Clemens.
Roy received all 32 first-place votes for a total of 224 points, beating out Adam Wainwright of the St. Louis Cardinals, who had received 28 second-place votes, for a total of 122 votes, and Ubaldo Jiminez, who ended third with 90 votes, including 4 second-place votes.
Roy won the votes by going 21-10 as he pitched in 33 games, all starts, as he finished first, second or third in several categories, including finishing first with the most wins in the NL (21), most complete games (9), shutouts (4) and innings pitched (250 2/3), while he finished second in strikeouts (219), behind Tim Lincecum of the San Francisco Giants, and third in ERA (2.44), behind Josh Johnson of the Florida Marlins and Wainwright. He also pitched the 20th perfect game in MLB History as he threw a no-no against the Marlins on May 29, at Sun Life Stadium in Miami, as he pitched the Phils to a 1-0 win.
Halladay became the fourth Phil to win the award, following four-time winner Hall of Famer Steve Carlton (1972, 1977, 1980, 1982), John Denny (1983), and Steve Bedrosian (1987).
Congratulations, Doc. You deserve this win.

Inspector General Hits Obama Admin's 'Hardest Hit' Housing Program
A $7.6 billion Obama administration program that targets areas especially suffering from the housing crisis is falling short, with the government spending only about 3% of money set aside for "underwater" mortgage borrowers and other problems, a watchdog report said.
The report released Thursday by the special inspector general for the 2008 financial system rescue criticized the administration's "Hardest Hit" program, which President Barack Obama announced in February 2010. It sends aid to 18 states and Washington, D.C. Bureaucratic hurdles, a refusal to allow mortgage writedowns at Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac and limited participation by banks have slowed spending.
Envisioned as an effort to help local communities target aid to address problems in their areas, the program had only spent $217.4 million as of the end of last year, according to the report. Only about 30,600 homeowners have been helped so far, out of an estimated potential for 487,000.
The inspector general, Christy Romero, said in an interview that she was worried that the Hardest Hit program will also fall flat. "There's a great concern that, without some drastic change, that money is not going to go out and help homeowners," Ms. Romero said.
Ms. Romero's report is the first comprehensive examination of a newer piece of the administration's foreclosure-prevention efforts, which have been widely criticized for not making a big dent in the country's housing problems.
The slow progress has prompted the administration to put a renewed focus on changes to its housing programs. The Treasury Department's main Home Affordable Modification Program had helped about 783,000 homeowners as of February, well short of the original goal of modifying three million to four million mortgages.
The housing programs are in line for up to $45.6 billion in funding from the 2008 financial rescue. But the administration has had difficulty getting that money out the door due to requirements intended to screen out undeserving homeowners.
Under the Hardest Hit program, states, like California, Nevada and Arizona focused on aiding "underwater" homeowners, or those who owe more on their properties are worth.
Those states had trouble launching their programs, mainly because of the refusal of mortgage-finance giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to allow loan writedowns. Bank of America Corp. is the only large mortgage servicer to participate in the Hardest-Hit mortgage writedown program.
Only $10.4 million, or 5% of the money spent so far, has gone to debt forgiveness, the report found.
States focused on aid for the unemployed had more luck. Of the money spent on the program as of the end of last year, 75%, or $162 million was on unemployment assistance, the report found.
Treasury officials say states are making tweaks to their programs that should result in more borrowers being helped before it expires in 2017. States including North Carolina, Oregon and Rhode Island are on already track to spent their money before the program runs out, officials say.
Tim Massad, assistant Treasury secretary for financial stability, said the inspector general's report "misses the mark by not acknowledging the hard work of participating states and the innovative ways they are preventing foreclosures in their local communities."
The inspector general's report also criticized the department for delays in rolling out the program and for waiting until September 2010 to bring industry and government officials together to get the program up and running.
In addition, the administration did not have broad acceptance from the mortgage industry for programs it approved, such as loan write-downs or reduction in second mortgages. And it took months of negotiations with the regulator of mortgage giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to hammer out implementation details.
"Treasury did not use its influence with key stakeholders for effective implementation of the program," the report said.
Mary Townley, director of Michigan's state housing authority, defended the effort Wednesday in a blog post on the Treasury's web site. The states involved "learned from initial trials and continue to adapt their programs to improve effectiveness," she wrote.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa. – The Harvard women's basketball battled back in the second half for a 56-48 win over Penn at The Palestra Friday night. Harvard's win coupled with a lost by Yale that night, moved the Crimson back into second place in the league and gives Harvard a shot at postseason play.
Victoria Lippert and Emma Markley both led the Crimson with 13 points and Brogan Berry added 10 points for three double-digit scorers. Lippert led the team in rebounds with six, while Berry and Christine Matera each handed out four assists.
The home team came out strong, cruising to a 7-0 lead two minutes and 30 seconds into the game, and forcing Harvard to call a timeout. After the stop, Markley nailed a jumper to get the Crimson on the scoreboard. But a Quaker three-pointer and follow-up jumper after a Harvard miss, gave Penn a 12-2 lead four minutes into the game. The Quakers increased its lead to 15-4 on another trey, but the Crimson answered with a Matera basket from beyond the arc to cut it to 15-7, with 15:06 left in the first half. Penn extended its lead to 11 before the under eight media timeout and the Crimson quickly cut the lead to nine, 21-13, on a three-point Clark play. Penn was unable to get ahead by more than 11 in the final seven minutes of the game, a three from Lippert with less than 23 seconds on the shot clock, cut the lead to 30-22.
The Crimson struggled from the field, shooting only 29.2 percent in the first 20 minutes, while the Quakers hit 50 percent of their shots. Harvard held a 16-10 edge in rebounds but committed 10 turnovers.
Harvard started the second stanza off with five points in 45 seconds to make it's a three-point game, 30-27. Penn answered with seven of its own points before a Matera three-pointer and then a Berry steal that resulted in a fast break lay-up to cut the deficit to 36-34 with 14:11 to play. Four minutes later another three from Matera tied the score at 39. The Quakers fired from downtown to go up 42-39 midway through the second session. Clark hit her next shot from the floor to make it 42-41.After tying it again at 45, the Crimson took its first lead of the night, 47-46 with 3:35 to play when Jasmine Evans hit a lay-up. Berry extended that lead to 51-46 on a Berry lay-up and two Clark free throws. The Crimson extended its lead as time wound down.
The Crimson shot 34 percent from the field and hit 16-of-17 free throw attempts for a 94.1 clip. Harvard held Penn to just 15 percent shooting in the second stanza to give them a 32 percent effort on the night. The Quakers won the battle on the glass, outrebounding Harvard, 37-31.
Harvard travels to league leader Princeton, who clinched at least a share of the Ivy League title with an 81-42 win over Dartmouth Friday night, Saturday. Tip-off is slated for 6 p.m.
