Mother found guilty in death of 3-year-old son
Boy died in 2011
MADISON, Wis. - A Madison mother was found guilty late Friday night of first degree reckless homicide.
The criminal complaint alleged that child abuse led to her son's death in 2011. Castillo-Dominguez admitted to police to throwing the child against a wall, according to the complaint.
The complaint said the boy, identified as LAV, was taken to a hospital the night of June 30, 2011, with subdural hematoma -- or brain swelling. Emergency surgery was performed to reduce the pressure.
Doctors also indicated they noticed bruising on the boy's left arm, left leg, under his chin and on his left hip. Doctors said they noticed more three dozen hemorrhages in each of the boy's eyes, which they said was indicative of abuse, according to the complaint.
When questioned by hospital staff, Castillo-Dominguez originally said the boy had fallen from a swing weeks earlier, the complaint said.
But later, when confronted by police, she said, "I didn't throw him. I only hit him in his head, but I didn't know if I hit hard," according to the complaint.
Investigators said the mother changed her story once again, saying she did throw the toddler against a wall, and he was crying.
According to the complaint, "LAV grabbed some Chiclets and she told him not to eat them. The defendant stated, 'I grabbed the Chiclets and I pushed him against the wall ... it was hard' and LAV was crying."
Later that night, Castillo-Dominguez said she noticed her son sweating, and that he "looked different," the complaint said.
The child also started vomiting and wanted to go to sleep, but Castillo-Dominguez said she kept him awake and saw him turning purple, according to the complaint.
Later that night, Castillo-Dominguez took the boy to an emergency room, police said. He died three days later.
Castillo-Dominguez's bail was revoked, and she is awaiting a sentencing hearing.

Deeplinks Blog posts about Cell Tracking
New Mexico law is so devoid of any established authority for this practice, a reasonable prosecutor, upon the exercise of diligent research could determine that the practice was very probably unlawful.
- Judge John Paternoster, Eighth Judicial District of New Mexico
The National Security Agency isn't the only agency that's willing to flout the laws of the land in order to obtain your telephone records. As we're learning from a case out of New Mexico, local prosecutors may be to willing to ignore rights enshrined in the Constitution for an unfair advantage in criminal cases.
Once again, a federal court will decide whether police can track your movements over an extended period of time without a search warrant. Federal and state courts have divided over whether the Fourth Amendment requires police seek a search warrant to obtain historical cell site location information (CSLI)—the records of which cell phone towers your phone has connected to in the past. We've weighed in, filing a new amicus brief in one of the most important legal cases to watch in 2015.
It's that time of year when people don sinister masks, spray themselves with fake blood, and generally go all out for a good fright. But here at EFF, we think there are plenty of real-world ghouls to last all year-round. Fortunately, we won't let them hide under your bed. Sometimes our work sounds like science fiction, but the surveillance techniques and technology we fight are all too real. Here are some of the beasts hiding in your backyard that we've been fighting to expose:
The Fourth Amendment protects us from "unreasonable" government searches of our persons, houses, papers and effects. How courts should determine what is and isn't reasonable in our increasingly digital world is the subject of a new amicus brief we filed today in San Francisco federal court.
At issue is historical cell site data—the records of the cell towers a customer's cell phone connects to. The government has long maintained that it's unreasonable for customers to expect those records to remain private. As a result, the government argues it does not need a search warrant to obtain historical cell site records from cell phone providers.

It's been a while since I updated this.
It's been a while since I updated this.
Airports.. pieces of no man's land
It's time for diary writing again.. seems like these waiting times at the airport are very productive for diary creation :)
I had an early flight from Helsinki to Stockholm, got to the airport before 7am. The good thing about that is there was not much queueing to check-in (even though I only took the certified-for-cabin -sized bag with me this time) Before I had a backpack with me, but looks like those are not very nice in the customs - they seem to get too much attention or something, and one ends up checked way too often. This nice wheel-and-a-handle thing is much more convenient in that sense.
For some reason an American Airlines security guy wanted to talk with me.. Maybe it is because my tickets had been purchased from the States or something. He asked me if I had packed my stuff myself and all that stuff you already know.. Of course it is nice to see that they do care about our safety :)
I am about to board the Chicago plane in about twenty minutes.. I have been waiting for this flight: 9.5 hours of (hopefully) sleep! I might as well read some of my largish (70MB!) inbox .. Lots of mail backlog to clear up. The last week has been a horrors for me to get all the stuff done for COMDEX, and I didnt have much time to rest before the flight. Sounds like a few days off after the show. That's the plan atleast.
Hmm.. looks promising, I am starting to yawn and the boarding should start very soon!
..and on the air again.. This time it's the American Airlines flight from Chicago to Las Vegas, landing will be in another one and a half hours, so there is plenty of time to write some diary stuff and other things.. I might as well compile my first kernel in 28000 feet! I actually managed to get some sleep during the previous 9.5 hour connection, which is good. I dont even want to know about the jetlag, better get some sleep at the hotel so I can do stuff at the booth during the week.
It will be fun to see the Helix Code folks again, it's been a while since the last visit and it is a lot cooler to talk with people in person instead of over irc or email. Seems like the remote working stuff is going pretty well though, but I have noticed it still makes a lot of sense to have phonecalls and meet in person every now and then. The bandwidth of IRC is not enough, one can get stuff done, but you dont hear the talk what happens in the cubicles, you dont see the naked monkeys on Peters cube, you dont smell the Bertucci's pizza, you dont poison yourself with the PopTarts (eek!) and you have no idea what you can do with Cozmo.com. (Hi Chris! :)
I noticed that in COMDEX the Helix Code booth is about 10 meters away from the SOT booth. The (finnish) acronym SOT stands for "Finnish Software Engineering" if I remember correctly. They make a localized version of Redhat for Finland and Eastern-European countries. (Yeah, original.. Though Turbolinux seems to be doing pretty well in that business in Asia..) I wonder if they have any of the finnish staff around, since they do have US offices too. That remains to be seen :) Sometimes it's a small world, even in COMDEX..
Ok, starting the final approach soon, so I'll wrap this up for now. I should be seeing Larry at the gate, where we were planning to take a cab together to the hotel. Going to write more stuff once I get this submitted first.
Oh what a rainy day
We went to this "happy family together" -dinner thingy with my wife, and on the way there I saw something remotely familiar on the ad stand by the road. Now I admit I get a lot of inspiration by looking at the works of good artists, and it is probably something everyone is doing, but still this was pretty amusing.. :-)
Today was a productive day
I did at least 1324452 little chart images for Jody to be included in Guppi, the chart tool for Gnumeric and Gnome. Yes, now it is time to sleep. All the saving of the PNG files has exhausted me %-)
Oh, yes, the network is back up again and works. So tigert.gimp.org works too.
... gotta hit the sack now.
Oh my..
Our kind network provider decided to move their offices and the services will be down for the weekend. So it's modem time if I want some TCP/IP.. Yes, this also means tigert.gimp.org is down.
Things like this just show me how easily one takes high speed net access and all this technology for granted, even though a few years ago nothing like this existed. It is scary sometimes.
I think I am going to go outside this weekend. Time to take some photos and to enjoy the nice and colourful autumn nature with my wife.
Yes, I intend to come back too, dont worry :)
I am sitting at London Heathrow airport waiting for a connecting flight to Boston.. The first flight was delayed for over 2 hours because of a technical failure in the air conditioning/pressure system.. Finally after trying to repair it for a while the tech staff decided they need to change the plane. Duh. On the other hand it is good that they take security and mainteinance seriously :)
I shot some photos while wandering bored around the airport.. I wish Advogato supported linking of images somehow.. Maybe raph doesnt want to have us fill the harddisk with random holiday photos, but I wish I could even link an image from a remote server.. On the other hand that would allow the use of Web Bugs(tm) to track you, dear readers (are there any? Hello? :) and I wouldnt even think of committing such a horrible crime! But nevertheless, I think it would be nice to have a possibility to add an image to the diary every now and then. Hm.. Of course linking to images via a hyperlink would work.. I need to think about this.
Ok, they are starting to board the plane finally, gotta get in the big aluminium bird!
. . .
..and finally at Helix Code. After a nice cab-ride from the airport I arrived to the office and met the hard workers who were still hacking. We decided we were hungry and went off to Kendall Square to get some protein units. The first chinese restaurant was closed, but the second one was open. I remember eating shrimps and chicken, but I was really tired.. (the time was around 5 am in Finland at that time) So off to bed. The "barracks" turned out to be an excellent place to stay, very nice apartment with a nice, comfortable bed.. YummyzZzZZZ....
. . .
Ok, now I feel good! Got some nice sleep and it's a beautiful morning, the sun is shining through the windows and I am sitting in the living room writing my diary and waiting for the other guys to wake up.. One tends to wake up in strange times when changing timezones :)
Back to stuff!
I had a nice holiday and it's time to get back to work. My friend ettore greeted me with a icon request list yesterday, and I have been hacking on them. Lots of thinking on how to do good and intuitive (the word starts to sound like a cliché to me..) icons.. I like making icons but some of them are comparable to real mini-artwork, when I think about the creative process. Lots of sweat and hard thinking. Maybe I should start printing them and framing into tiny little wooden frames and hanging them in my wall.. :)
I played with gphoto and my digicam, creating a nice hack-kludge webcam, go see if you want here. The good part is I run it from my laptop, so having it with me, I can "broadcast" from anywhere - I just need a net connection. There is a drawback though, I dont know what the camera likes to be scripted and taking photos every N seconds for extended periods of time. Thus I only update once per minute or so and it is running only occasionally. I dont even consider linking the webcam page from my frontpage.. It is a fun hack anyway, and if you are lucky, you can spot me hacking with Gimp :)
I also got around and installed the latest Gimp-print plugin. The results are cool. I dont need to print anything from windows anymore, the quality is awesome already. I cant wait to get raph's cool hacks into it, then it will be clearly superior to the windows drivers. It is excellent even already. Way to go!
Uhm. Another day of work fame
New screenshots in the Evolution page
US keyboard is not exactly ideal for HTML since the < >'s are in completely braindead places for me ;P
Good nightzZzZZzzZ..
I tried the USB stuff with 2.3.99pre-something kernel, and it worked fine. However the kernel crashed when I copied the linux source tree to keep a fresh copy before applying the ac-patch.
I then decided to go back to stable kernel, but I needed the USB for my mouse and Wacom. (no. it doesnt work in Gimp yet. You can use the tablet as a generic mouse without pressure etc. A serial version works fine. Xinput support for the usb version is on the works though..) Well the non-fun part is the backport USB driver for 2.2.x doesnt like my tablet at all. The backport driver is 0.2 I think and 2.3.99 kernel has version 0.5. The USB trackball works fine but the wacom just goes into a weird state, unplugging the tablet fixes it. It spews this to kern.log:
Apr 12 21:03:39 fun112 kernel: usb-uhci.c: interrupt, status 3, frame# 1114 Apr 12 21:03:39 fun112 kernel: usb-uhci-debug.h: uhci_show_td d49a1de0 (149A1DE0) Apr 12 21:03:39 fun112 kernel: usb-uhci-debug.h: MaxLen=07 DT0 EndPt=1 Dev=3, PID=69( IN ) (buf=0a0ae400) Apr 12 21:03:39 fun112 kernel: usb-uhci-debug.h: Len=07 e3 SPD IOC Stalled Babble
I wonder what it is. On the other hand, it is pointless to wonder, the current driver works fine. I just wish the backport was updated at some point. Or I just need to play with the devel kernel again.. Gotta take backups :)
Anyway, sleep time. Good night and happy hacking people!
I got a broken NIC. That is why my site was downlast night and this morning.. I first thought that the network was down but I found out my old tired SMC ultra was not feeling too well.
I took a Tulip card from the other box and got my connection working again, then decided to stick the SMC to the other box, and it worked. Go figure.
I got Redhat 6.2 in a shrink wrap box. They have a sticker of the most important Linux commands that you can stick to your monitor or keyboard. Handy. The box also contained a little book consisting of one page ads of all kinds of commercial software packages. Umm. I dont know what to think. We just need more free software. But dont write a napster client, please : )
I heard Redhat 6.2 does not start inetd at all unless you need it. Jonathan said that they turned a lot of services off by default. This is very good. I might consider having a look at it for a change - it's been a long time of debian lately. Not that I am not happy with it, it is also great.
Raph, I now have an Epson. Send me the Stuff. : )

I personally shudder at the prospect of a Conservative Majority. Mr. Harper and his approach to democracy is more American that anything he accuses Iggy of being.
But this is not just something based on feelings so here are some of my reasons for not wanting Mr. Harper.
His economic policies.
What exactly are his policies? He has taken a lot of credit for Canada weathering the recession storm better than many other countries. Problem is that many of the rules that governed the financial sector in this country were Paul Martin's. It wasn't Mr. Harper who went from, "there will be no deficit", to a "there will be a small deficit" to "we will be in deficit until at least 2015. Even a blind mole could tell you that when your major trading partner is falling apart at the seams that trouble is going follow into our resource and manufacturing sectors. Apparently he and his finance minister couldn't which either makes them extremely thick or worse, outright liars.
Now he wants to drop Corporate tax rates "Again" to 15%. How about lowering the GST or personal income tax instead. Better yet, leave it alone for now. We are competitive among G8 countries and frankly, we are in deficit so now is not the time to get all generous with corporations when the average Canadian is trying to make ends meet. Put the money towards, Health Care or Education or even improved benefits for Seniors. All Canadians would stand to benefit from measures in those areas.
His fear mongering. - ah yes, the dreaded coalition, his version of the "red menace". Funny how a coalition didn't seem to be too bothersome when he was involved with a possible collaboration with the NDP and the dreaded Bloc. But now that the shoe is on the other foot, well, that is just plain undemocratic. I would prefer a coalition to his style of government. Nobody could get too out of line and pull the kind of undemocratic crap he tries to pull.
How about:
The 5 question a day policy that his team put together for this campaign. It is campaign, if you don't want to answer questions, you are in the wrong business.
Proroguing parliament twice to avoid loosing his grip on the government. Each time he has done that, many worthy bills have died in parliament. Great for getting things done. Parliamentary rules aren't' meant to be a way to avoid scrutiny or punishment for your misdeeds. He has done it twice, and that is twice too many.
Contempt of parliament. - this is a good one. How badly do you have to misuse power to get this. Apparently you have to go out of your way to ignore or delay requests for information pertaining to costs for Prisons and Fighter Jets. Mr. Harper claims that it is just the opposition ganging up on him. If this is so, then how come it has never happened in the history of this country up till now? I think it takes something special to be so honoured.
While we're at it. Lets talk fighter jets. First of all, for F-35 Supporters, a question. Would you buy a car that was a. still under development b. untested in real life and c. the cost of which you don't know? That is essentially the approach of Mr. Harper. Now lets hearken back to the heady days of the CF-18. When they were purchased, they were already deployed, had a known price tag and not the only jet fighter that was examined. See a difference? Even if these jets are ready for 2016, it will still be years before they have the bugs worked out of them. They are extremely complex aircraft. There are two roles that we use military equipment for, domestic defense and military collaborations of a peace keeping nature. It terms of domestic defense, against who? Our biggest threat is likely to be our good neighbours to the south. If that is the case, then A. They will have way more resources to expend against us than 50 jets are going to help with and B. they will have the same jets so technologically we would have no advantage anyway. Peacekeeping? this is a first strike capable aircraft with stealth properties. Who are we going to be using it against? The Libyans, the Afghan's, the Somali's. Chances are that we will never need the extremely expensive and complex abilities of this aircraft nor do we know they will work well in our harsher northern climate. I don't deny that as a pure flying machine, they have a lot of potential, but is that worth the risk of billions and billions of dollars over the next 30 years without so much as a look at what else may be on the market? In the end, it may be that the F-35 is the right jet for the job but until it is fully operational (they are still 5 years away at least), then maybe we should be looking at something else even if it means getting a smaller amount of different planes now and stretching out the CF-18's time in the air.
We can also talk about government misconduct - wonder if Lisa Raitt finds the events in Japan "sexy"
or would Bev Oda be ok if we decided to follow her example of altering contracts after they are signed. Where was Mr. Harper's indignation on that fundamental requirement of honouring a contract.
How about monies slated for border crossing improvement s going to a Conservative riding improperly
There are a lot of things but frankly I don't trust any of the parties with Majority power at this point but I find Mr. Harper tries to insult my intelligence by warning us about the "other guys" when in fact he has been just as "undemocratic" and fast and loose with the truth as his opponents". Their CRAP party smells as bad if not worse than the other guys.
And for the record. I have voted for many different parties over the years including the Conservatives of old, the Liberals and even the NDP. I am not partisan but the conduct of the Harper edition of the PCC has me sufficiently worried to urge people to think long and hard before voting for them.
Flame retardant underwear is ready. Have at er!

By Kevin Tate/Outdoors Writer
When I was in my mid-single digit years, my Grandaddy used three converted cattle ponds on his place raising catfish to sell. The operation thrived for a while then played out, but it taught me a lesson I hope I'll never forget.
One afternoon, a man and his wife came by and wanted a small quantity of fish. Just a sample amount, really, maybe five or 10 pounds.
Catfish from these ponds were generally harvested by way of a two-man seine, a net several yards long and maybe five feet wide, but my Grandaddy was still working for JESCO at the time and wasn't home, and none of the other Old Men were available either. Still, no more than they required, my Grandmother suggested she, the couple and I could fish in the nearest pond and get what they wanted.
I took pride in rigging out rods for Grandmother and the two guests. The first three rods stood ready to fish when I grabbed them but nobody else had to know that. The last one I picked up for myself was the only one without a weight, hook and float in place.
Just weeks before, I'd been coached to tie what I still think of as my Uncle Buddy's fishing knot, in actuality a work of art called the improved clinch, so I grabbed the first hook I could find, a tiny, long-necked specimen meant for bream, and tied it on as quickly as I could, forgetting in my haste to add a weight or float. My knot wouldn't have earned any praise but, no matter, the game was afoot.
The first of the three ponds lay within sight of the house. Three sides of this small body of water stood thick and tall in brush and the other side already had the other three people fishing on it when I took a chunk of liver from the bait can and loaded my weightless hook.
"I'm going around to the next pond," I said to no one in particular since, if I made too big a point of it, Grandmother probably wouldn't have let me get out of sight near the water. She was deep in conversation with the visiting lady and the man was bent on catching fish.
Around the hedge, just out of sight of where they were standing lay the next pond, one whose levy had recently suffered a breach. It held water, but not too much. I climbed down the grassy bank, walked a few steps out onto the bare mud flat and immediately saw a catfish as long as my arm circling my way in the scant pooling that remained. The sun was in my favor and I lowered my hook into his path. Seconds later, when he inhaled the bait, I bent the rod double and swung him up out of the water. The hook came untied at the apex of the arc and he fell flopping onto the mud flat, where I pounced on him, gathered him behind the pectoral fins as I'd been taught, left the rod and walked back to where Grandmother and the guests were standing. I couldn't have been out of their sight an entire minute.
When I walked up holding the big catfish like the champion grabblers I'd seen pictured in the state game and fish magazine they were amazed, and I told the story just as I've written it here, the unvarnished truth. It sounded so goofy it almost had to be a lie, but who would intentionally tell a lie that goofy? The man stared at me in disbelief, then demanded to be shown where I caught him. At the sight of the big mud puddle, I could tell he thought I was putting him on. When they left an hour later with three fish, mine plus two small ones caught by Grandmother and the lady, he was nonplussed to say the least.
Even at a young age I knew what I'd found. That story was true, but I saw then if one could believe his bluff so well he forgot he was bluffing, the art of the fish tale could take him far.

This is 4 forks, but I can't get it to record. Loved sauce, and meat marinade goes perfectly, in my opinion.
I've made this twice now and it is delicious! Very simple to make. Although I use lime juice instead.
The best thing about this recipe is how slippery the sauce is, which I spilled on the tiled kitchen floor and my brother slipped and cracked his wrist. Haven't laughed like that in days. Hilarious. Four forks!
just would love cook it and eat wow new food for me to cook i love to cook wow wow
I made it with steak first and loved it, then tried the sauce and seasonings with a lamb steak, and lamb might be even better!
I had this sauce on broiled salmon and it was great! I used half the oil, as other users suggested, and it tasted light and full of flavor. I did use a blender, but you could also use a Food processor and have less clean up; smaller batches tend to be messier clean-up in the blender. Next time I intend to make a double batch of the sauce and freeze it into cubes-- so tasty!
This is a great recipe. It always impresses. The sauce actually freezes well too.
So easy and so good! Cilantro sauce is much faster and easier to make than a traditional chimichurri sauce. Always a hit at bbq's and dinner parties.
The steak was good, the suace was awesome and so simple!
Fantastic! used a cast iron skillet instead of grill pan and cider vinegar instead of lemon juice (it's all we had) and it was outstanding.

Sabin Vaccine Institute (Sabin) is a non-profit, 501(c)(3) organization made up of scientists, researchers, and advocates dedicated to reducing needless human suffering from vaccine-preventable and neglected tropical diseases. Sabin works with governments, leading public and private organizations, and academic institutions to provide solutions for some of the world's most pervasive health care challenges.
Since its founding in 1993 in honor of the oral polio vaccine developer, Dr. Albert B. Sabin, the Institute has been at the forefront of efforts to control, treat, and eliminate vaccine-preventable and neglected tropical diseases by developing new vaccines, advocating use of existing vaccines, and promoting increased access to affordable medical treatments.
Sabin was founded on the legacy and global vision of one of medicine's most pre-eminent scientific figures, Dr. Albert B. Sabin, who is best known for developing the oral live virus polio vaccine. Dr. Sabin not only dedicated his entire professional career to groundbreaking medical advancements to reduce human suffering, he also waged a tireless and lifelong campaign against poverty and ignorance.
Sabin works to provide greater access to vaccines and essential treatments for hundreds of millions of people stuck in a cycle of pain, poverty and despair. Sabin's three main programs – Sabin Vaccine Development, the Global Network for Neglected Tropical Diseases, and Vaccine Advocacy and Education – strive to uphold Dr. Sabin's lifelong efforts by developing preventative measures for diseases that place burdens on the world's poorest countries.
Sabin's diverse partnerships are key to our efforts to fulfill the organization's mission. In 2011, the Sabin Product Development Partnership (Sabin PDP) relocated to Houston, Texas to begin a new affiliation with Texas Children's Hospital (TCH) and Baylor College of Medicine (BCM). The Sabin PDP laboratories are housed in a new, state-of-the-art, 10,000 square-foot facility at TCH, which is part of Texas Medical Center, the world's largest medical center.
These and other partnerships with groups such as the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, governments, academic institutions, scientists, medical professionals, and non-profit organizations are critical in furthering the development of strategies to reduce human suffering from devastating vaccine-preventable and neglected tropical diseases.

"No matter how good you are, you're going to lose one-third of your games. No matter how bad you are you're going to win one-third of your games. It's the other third that makes the difference." ~Tommy Lasorda
Hardy could probably be had for quality minor leaguers and taking on some salary especially since the Brewers are pushing him out the door.
Reyes would likely take significant parts of the 25 man roster as the Mets don't strike me as a patient team. If that's true, one has to subtract the advantage associated with the guy (s) going the other way from the upgrade represented by Reyes.
Since he's likely a two year guy, it doesn't make a ton of sense to me to pounce on him if he ultimately only upgrades the roster by two wins or less.
The Reds need to add as much WAR (wins above replacement) to their 25 man roster as possible while minimizing the WAR going out the door.
"This isnt stats vs scouts - this is stats and scouts working together, building an organization that blends the best of both worlds. This is the blueprint for how a baseball organization should be run. And, whether the baseball men of the 20th century like it or not, this is where baseball is going."---Dave Cameron, U.S.S. Mariner
I agree with jojo. Hardy is the guy they should be looking at. Reyes would be too expensive (and I'm not talking $$).
The hamstring issue with Reyes is significant. The risk of reinjury is probably high (Freel and Griffey had chronic hamstring problems, to cite two examples). For a guy who uses explosive speed a lot (he attempts lots of steals), Reyes is probably at higher risk for reinjury than most.
Health is a major factor in this case. Any team trying to deal for Reyes will have that as leverage, alongside the fact he's a short-timer. I think the Mets will have a hard time getting a ton of service time in return for him, especially in that players who bring that are also cheap, while Reyes is pretty costly. I just don't see the Mets getting equal value for the guy, if you're looking at him being as productive as he has been.

There is something about Reyes that I don't like. He disappeared during the NYM's collapse at the end of the last two regular seasons. He has rifts with many of his English speaking team mates. And doesn't seem like the stand up ball player that David Wright is. Im not too worried about his hammy, and he hasn't shown any signs of being injury prone during his career.
To be honest, If I am committing long term to one player from outside of this organization, its Matt Holliday. Reyes is a nice player, but he seems a little too diva for me, as well as the city of Cincinnati.
I'll third the Hardy notion. He's a no-brainer option for the Reds right now. He's within the realm of their financial resources. He would be under the club's control for the next two years. And lastly, he would not cost the Reds an arm and a leg to acquire.

Good OF glove, 100+ RBI machine.
Put him in the lineup with Bruce, Votto, Rolen and Phillips and I think you're going somewhere.
By merely taking on the salary over the next 2 years, you might not have to give up two arms and a leg to get him.
As for the no trade clause, you sell him on the kind of numbers that he'll put up playing 81 games a year in Cincinnati, and plenty more in places like Wrigley and Pittsburgh. Those numbers help him either secure one last decent contract and/or make him attractive to a contender when he's a FA.
Beltran is due to make 18 million each of the next 2 years. He has a fracture in his knee. Pass.

The Mets have a lot of issues right now. The Wilpons, who own the team, lost in the neighborhood of $350-$700M in the Bernie Madoff ponzi scheme (it's been reported, not confirmed). To the point where the speculation is anywhere from a huge reduction in payroll, to possibly selling the team.
It will be an interesting offseason for the Mets.

Sorry for the recent suckage
By the time I got to work this morning, I had already put in 50 hours this week. I'm wiped and things have just been insane the last few weeks, so I apologize for my lack of posting.
Not much has been going on, really. Except that I've gotten fatter again thanks to my long hours and crappy eating habits. And I'm debating on whether I should drop out of the October half marathon, or just deal with my knee pain until then and then go see a surgeon. I had surgery on my right knee about 5 years ago and I can tell the same issues are happening with my left, so I'll need surgery at some point. Now is just a matter of deciding if I want one last running hurrah or if I should throw in the towel now.
I lean toward one last hurrah. Because I'm stubborn and don't want to quit.
But my knee does not feel like a happy knee. I work in the attic (third floor) of our building and often have to visit the basement, and those trips have been far less pleasant over the last two weeks. Not a good sign.
Here's the thing. I can't even say that I really like running…I like the sense of accomplishment I feel when I complete a good distance, but I don't like the actual running. I'd rather do strength training and cardio in my basement. But damn it, I signed up for this half and I WANT TO FINISH IT.
But I also don't want to cause damage that will prevent me from doing the activities I do love, like playing volleyball.
So what's a girl to do? What would you do? What would Brian Boitano do?
Seriously, I'd love some opinions from the blogosphere. Here are your presents for helping me:
My favorite thing from this week (thanks, Kenz!):

Becker wins national lacrosse award
Posted June 6, 2003; 02:40 p.m.
Becker, captain of Princeton's lacrosse team, was named the 2003 Tewaaraton Trophy recipient as lacrosse's most outstanding athlete.
The award, given annually to the sport's top male and female college lacrosse players in the nation, was given to Becker and Virginia senior Chris Rotelli after they led their respective teams to NCAA championships this past spring.
Becker is also this year's Honda Award winner for lacrosse and is a first-team All-America selection for the third year in a row. She led her team to a second straight national championship as the anchor of a defense that allowed 4.5 goals per game during the 2003 NCAA tournament. For her efforts, she was named the NCAA Tournament MVP.
The full story is available on the Princeton athletics Web site.

Hi there. I live and hunt in NW Pa and spring gobbler hunting is one of my favorite things to do. IMO there is nothing more exciting when it comes to hunting than turkey hunting and elk hunting. There is simply nothing like a thunderous gobble or a screaming bugle in your face and it gets my blood pumping every time.
The hunting is usually great here in Pa but this year has been real tough. I was fortunate to take a nice longbeard on opening morning but filling tag #2 has been a challenge.
Well I look forward to sharing tips, tricks, and stories with all of you on this site. Thanks and God bless.

Sounds expensive. Very expensive. And with the 4th movie on the horizon, who knows what Hasbro will do with those figures.
Soundwave in DOTM turns into a stock Mercedes SLS, the one with gull wing doors. The scale would be 1:24th to fit HA. If that's what it is, you might as well buy 1, if it's anything like this one then the only differences are the silver secondary inlet grilles instead of black: http://www.diecastcars.tv/product_in...ducts_id=15303
I didn't even know there was a 3rd party LC Blackout until your post. I looked it up, it looks... very hollow from the back, and very rough in design: http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-...ackout-174257/
still, if they can keep working on it and get it looking better as it goes along, they could really have something here. This is another case where I really want to support Hasbro's rights to defend their IP, but they are simply ignoring the pleas made by the market leaving many fans unfulfilled, and show no interest in listening or compromising with their market, making it easy for the fan base to turn a blind eye to the company complaining about others violating their rights.

What financial aid can you expect next fall
- Walks you through the financial aid process
- Guides you through the forms
- Reminds you to get your forms in early so you don't miss out on aid
It has very little to do with scholarships. Most of it is from the federal government, and most of it needs to be paid back.
Low-interest federal loans are the most common, but awards like Pell Grants are given, too
Grants from colleges are free money that the institutions give to select applicants.
Some states give out grants based on academic achievement, family background, or ethnic heritage.
Private grants and scholarships are the least common form of financial aid, and the hardest to get.
40% of college financial aid is federal loans!
With Alltuition! We're simply the best way for high school students and their families to manage the financial aid process from start to finish.
We'll work with you to hone your list of schools and keep track of application deadlines. When you're ready, you can take advantage of our streamlined application for federal, college, and state aid (the only one in the nation).

Where I stayed
my girls house
Let me know if you get this!!!!!
The festivals were… Festa Junina and a festival about the Immigrant history of Brazil. First was the Festa Junina.
The festival took place at a really neat church. (See picture) There was a lot of food, live music, and bingo. :o)) I was starving so the first stop was to get a steak sandwich and a coke. After I got settled, we walked around and Rony and Fabiola started in on the eating. I got to taste foods from different states of Brazil. It was interesting to say the least. I preferred my steak sandwich. We walked around listening to live music and eating all night. I ended up having 2 sausage sandwiches and a churro filed with a cream. OMG it was good!! Their was a ton of sweet things to eat and I think we all had a little of everything. Near the end of the night we went into the Bingo hall. It is a little different from our bingo. I am not really sure how you play here!! We made one more pass through the food and headed home. Stuffed!!!!!
The Immigrant festival was fun. Just Fabiola and I. This festival was held at the immigrant museum. This festival had food from about 20 different countries. We ate Japanese and then a crape from France. The festival was more of a cultural sharing event. Each country had some kind of dance that they did. We saw about 5 countries dance. The best one was from the Ukraine. I think!!!! They had a lot of kids dancing and the boys did the dance where they squat down and kick out there legs one at a time. I am not describing that well but it was really neat. One other country had a lady walking around with 4 wine bottles on her head.
Fabiola and I walked through the museum. It was really neat and several photo opps. The stuffed people from each country were neat but the guy from the US was dressed like a cowboy!! Go figure. We walked through taking funny pictures. I thought it was neat that they had some very old passports from people traveling to Brazil.
Anyway, the even was great and Fabiola and I had a great time. I just found out that I get to go to A French fest and a Japanese fest this weekend!!! (7/18)
Lastly… Fabiola and I went to a theme park in Sao Paulo. The name is Hopi Hari. We met some good friends of Fabiola's and their kids.
We had to take a bus there. It took about an hour and a half. It was the size of say Six Flags. There was a Wet & Wild right next door!!!!
The park was cool but they seem to miss out on sticking to the theme. The western part of the park had western attractions and even a Wild West show. However, walking thorough the section they play Indian music. They even had a street performance to Indian music. Another section had Sesame Street characters. However, the cookie monster did not sell cookies, he sold pizza. The little details they missed made me laugh. I was going to ride on the Oscar the Grouch teacups but I tend to not feel so good after. As the night progressed we dodged the rain, ate popcorn, churros and road a roller coaster in the dark. (The only way I can ride one. Ha ha!!) We were going to wait around to watch the fireworks but we both were getting sleepy so we jumped in the car with the family we were with and headed home.
It was a good day!!!!

For many American parents and grandparents, a Bar/Bat Mitzvah in Israel provides a young man or woman with an unbreakable link with what it means to be Jewish. Traveling together, members of family can effortlessly and positively influence their children`s attachment to their Jewish heritage as they experience together the phenomenal renaissance of their ancient homeland. Celebrating a Bar/Bat Mitzvah in Israel leaves treasured memories that last a lifetime. A Bar/Bat Mitzvah is easy to arrange - whether individually, or by participating in a group tour where all the planning is done for you. This information will tell you all you need to know, and how to make arrangements. The Israel Ministry of Tourism is at your service to assist and to point you in the right direction, and give you a full list of service suppliers. Call us at 1-888-77-ISRAEL, remember that no one belongs here more than you.
The Western Wall
Jerusalem's Western Wall - known also as the Kotel – is the last remnant of the Temple destroyed by the Romans in the year 70 CE. As such, it has always been the central focus of Jewish prayer, hopes, dreams… and pilgrimage. Since 1967, when the Western Wall was liberated, the Jewish nation has been able to return to its most sacred site.
The Western Wall is a popular choice as a venue for Bar and Bat Mitzvah celebrations since it symbolizes Jewish spirit and heritage. Bar Mitzvah services are held on Monday and Thursday mornings when Torah portions are traditionally read. Services at the Western Wall are in the Orthodox tradition, and men and women have separate prayer areas.
The Western Wall Heritage Foundation offers a free service to help families with everything from initial planning of the event to helping conduct or explain the service. Additional assistance is available, including lending Tefillin (phylacteries) or Talitot (prayer shawls), and organizing a tour of the Western Wall Tunnels for the Bar/Bat Mitzvah child and family following the service.
For more information about the many options available for Bar/Bat Mitzvah celebrations at the Western Wall, see www.thekotel.org, or call 972-1599-515888
The Southern Wall, Jerusalem
The Southern Wall is no less holy than the Western Wall, for it is part of the remaining Southern enclosure of the Temple Mount. Private Bar/Bat Mitzvah ceremonies may be held here. Unlike at the Western Wall, ceremonies are held according to your and your rabbi`s traditions - so men and women may celebrate, sit and pray together. The atmosphere is tranquil, the view of the Judean Hills and the Mount of Olives is haunting. The congregation sits on the ancient, stone Hulda Steps, the original stairs leading to the Second Temple. Your rabbi should make arrangements with the office in charge: Chevra L`Pituach Mizrach Yerushalayim 8 Shamai Street (POB 2395) Jerusalem 94631. Telephone: 011-972-2-627-7550 or 011-972-2-625-4404 Fax: 011-972-2-627-7962 or 011-972-2-624-7137
The Western Wall Tunnels
Excavated almost 30 years ago, the Western Wall Tunnels are one of Israel`s most splendid archaeological discoveries. Their galleries enable visitors to comprehend the enormity of the Second Temple (a construction of such height and vastness that it dwarfs the Dome of The Rock), and they reveal the extraordinary depth of Jerusalem 2,000 years ago, enabling visitors to reach the nearest point accessible to the destroyed Temple`s Holy of Holies. Ceremonies here, like at the Western Wall, are strictly Orthodox. To make arrangements: (Tel) 011-972-2-627-1333.
The Tower of David Museum of the History of Jerusalem
Private Bar/Bat Mitzvah ceremonies may be held in the historic courtyard and gardens of Jerusalem`s 2000+ year-old Citadel. For information: (Tel) 011-972-2-627-4111(fax) 011-972-2-628-3418 (e-mail) firstname.lastname@example.com
The Hurva Synagogue
The Hurva Synagogue, destroyed in the War of Independence in 1948, is now a simple and elegant memorial graced by a giant arch which soars against the blue sky in recollection of the synagogue`s shattered dome. It has become a symbol of the Jews` return to our holiest city, and it is an ideal site for a private Bar/Bat Mitzvah service.
Neot Kedumim
This 625-acre nature reserve dedicated to the restoration of the ecology of Biblical times lies between Jerusalem and Tel Aviv. It contains hundreds of species of trees, plants and vegetation mentioned in the Bible and Talmud: cedars and hyssop, olives, figs and pomegranates, grape vines, date palms and Jerusalem sage. It is also home to wild donkeys, ostriches, oryx, Golan wolves and fallow deer, easily spotted as visitors explore ancient olive and wine presses, and excavations revealing ancient threshing floors, cisterns and ritual baths. Bar/Bat Mitzvah ceremonies can be Orthodox, Conservative, Reform or Reconstructionist and include a tour of the nature reserve that connects to the week`s Haftorah. Celebrations are held in Neot Kedumim`s 600-seat outdoor theater and vegetarian or dairy catering is available. Arrangements should be made by the Rabbi or travel agent with the Neot Kedumim Reservations Department: (tel) 011-972-8-977-0777 (fax) 011-972-8-924-5881
Synagogues around Israel
Any Synagogue of your choice, in Jerusalem, or anywhere in Israel is also an ideal location for Bar/Bat Mitzvah, particularly if you wish to hold the ceremony on Shabbat. For specific information contact: The Center for Conservative Judaism: (Tel) 011-972-2-625-2529 (Fax) 011-972-2-623-4127 Har-El Reform Synagogue: (Tel) 011-972-2-625-3841 (Fax) 011-972-2-623-4866, email: email@example.com Movement for Progressive Judaism: (Tel) 011-972-2-620-3477 (Fax) 011-972-2-620-3446 Orthodox: Jerusalem Connection Resource Center (Tel/Fax) 011-972-2-627-1283, or The Great Synagogue, (Tel) 011-972-2-624-7112, (Fax) 011-972-2-623-3620
After the destruction of the Temple in 70 CE, hundreds of Jewish refugees escaped from Jerusalem and fled to King Herod`s abandoned fortress-palace atop Mount Massada, near the Dead Sea. For three years, the refugees, known as "the Zealots," lived, farmed and prospered atop the mountain, taunting the Roman besiegers from its summit. When the Romans finally breached the refugees` stronghold in the year 73, they discovered that 970 men, women and children had taken their own lives rather than becoming slaves. Massada was excavated in 1964 and has become one of Israel`s most prominent and most visited sites. For Israelis and for post-Holocaust Jews everywhere, it is a symbol of Israel`s self-reliance and determination that such atrocities will "never again" be committed against the Jewish people. Bar/Bat Mitzvah ceremonies atop Massada are held in the remains of the Zealots` Synagogue, arguably the world`s oldest synagogue still in use. Services here are conducted by the rabbi of your choice, according to Orthodox, Conservative, Reform or Reconstructionist tradition. Arrangements should be coordinated by your rabbi, travel agent or relative in Israel by contacting Masada National Park: (Tel) 011-972-8-658-4207/8 (Fax) 011-972-8-658-4464 or Arad Tourist Center: (Tel) 011-972-8-695-9333, (fax) 011-972-8-695-5052.
The Israel Ministry of Tourism is delighted to provide a beautiful certificate to Bar/Bat Mitzvah celebrants. The certificate includes the celebrant's name in personalized calligraphy, and is signed by both the Minister of Tourism and, if the ceremony takes place in the capital, also by the Mayor of Jerusalem. It is free of charge and perfect for framing. (If you are taking a group or individual tour with an experienced Bar/Bat Mitzvah tour operator/sponsor, this tour organizer will automatically make the arrangements for obtaining the certificate.)
Requests for individual certificates for families planning the arrangements themselves must be made a minimum of 21 days in advance of the ceremony, by completing the form below.

Mutronics MIDI Mutator
Most likely the best stand-alone rack mount stereo (two channel) filter, modulation and envelope follower unit. It has two great resonant filters with cutoff, envelope follower, and an LFO with 4 waveform types that can be linked or inverted. The Mutator is truly a great dance music machine. Run loops, synths, voice or entire mixes through this and filter them in stereo or dual mono. It sounds great!
The two filters are identical and totally independent of each other. The circuitry is analog too. The VCF (filters) have their own envelopes and there is a useful LFO for nice sweeping or pulsing effects. The LFO can also be MIDI synced to your music (it's a little tricky though).
There is a great implementation of MIDI control on the Mutator. Control the filter cutoff from your sequencer by hitting notes on the keyboard. That's it, the notes on your keyboard and the pitch-bend correspond to the different degrees of cutoff. There is no patch memory, but that's ok. The Mutator is a machine that's meant to be grabbed and played with live while either going to tape or live on stage. Filtering music for an effect has become very common these days and the Mutator is among the best machines for achieving this effect. It is THE SOUND used by Daft Punk and has also been used by Fatboy Slim, Future Sound of London, Depeche Mode, and Radiohead.

An interesting discussion of philisophically different views of government.
An interesting discussion of philisophically different views of government.

"Thinking is the hardest work there is, which is probably the reason why so few engage in it." Henry Ford
Thanks for sharing....I did not like the way this guy 'beat around the bush' listing all the transgressions of the past from both Repub's and Dem's. I think writers do this so the Dem's cannot just yell at them "Well you guys did it too"....but it would of saved all of us time if he had just outlined all the current Dem's under investigation, including 'Dingy' Harry Reid.....and let the Dem's Yell "You guys did it too"! Cause they will yell it anyway....
My Dad fought in WWII, he fought against a terrible evil....I think my generation has seriously failed that generation.....at least that is one man's opinion!
I guess in your world it would have been better to only bring up the transgressions of the Dems. Don't need to list transgressions of the Repubs; because they are all good guys.
Then you could prove it because their transgressions got swept under the rug in the great idealized world that is "Swampland"
"Fair & Balanced" ...regards
To me, the two most important points of the article are these:
"You cannot expand the scope and scale of government without expanding in parallel the scope and scale of government corruption. And government corruption is as natural as catching cold."
"When a conservative suffers from a moral failing, it is taken as an indictment of conservatism itself, even though conservatism in the Anglo–Protestant tradition is founded upon the expectation that moral failing is universal. In that sense, every Scott DesJarlais tells conservatives what we already know: that man is a fallen creature, and that, contra the Obamacare regime, there are no exemptions to be handed out from that condition, no waivers from human nature. The progressive view, on the other hand, is that our politics and our institutions could be channels of moral action and reliably ethical arbiters of such ill-defined standards as "fairness" and "social justice," if only we put the right people in power.
But there are no right people."

IMO, a corrupt individual acting in an official capacity & circumventing the law should have the key
thrown away when convicted.
You can't legislate morals - Unfortunately people get to self label & can call themselves anything they
desire. With a sympathetic press they get away with it, .

News Releases, Media Advisories
|For Immediate Release
February 28, 2002
|Ron Harris
Bob Biersack
Ian Stirton
Kelly Huff
-- Requests $46.9 Million and 362 Personnel --
WASHINGTON The Federal Election Commission has transmitted its fiscal year 2003 budget proposal to Congress and the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), requesting $46,917,000 and 362 personnel for FEC operations.
The request represents a continuation of the FY 2002 funding level for core programs, as adjusted for inflation and salary and benefits, with no additional funds or staff for new programs or initiatives. Also, the request does not account for any implementation costs for campaign finance reform legislation, should that legislation be enacted.
The total FY2003 request includes $1,673,000 to account for a new method of providing for federal retirees under the Civil Service Retirement Program (CSRS), which the Administration has proposed for all government agencies as the federal "Freedom To Manage" initiative. All totals in the Presidents recent overall federal budget proposal include these costs at the respective agency level. Absent those earmarked funds, the FECs proposed budget is $45,244,000, an increase of $1,555,000 (3.6%) over FY2002s $43,689,000 and 362 personnel.
FEC Vice Chairman Karl J. Sandstrom, who serves as the Commissions Finance Committee Chairman, said of this proposal, "The requested budget will allow the Commission to promote compliance with federal election law, while instituting innovations that allow the FEC to better serve participants in federal elections and the public at large."
The Executive Summary of the budget proposal highlights various FEC program-successes and innovations, noting, "In FY 2001, the FEC achieved three major successes: expansion of the compliance program, implementation of mandatory electronic filing, and issuance of the draft revision of the Voting Systems Standards (VSS). These successes are the result of FEC efforts and support from our Congressional oversight committees.
"Swift Congressional action on mandatory electronic filing for large filers and the establishment of an administrative fine program, as recommended [in PricewaterhouseCoopers audit, Jan. 1999], resulted in programs allowing the FEC to carry out its disclosure and compliance missions more effectively. In addition, two programs have received accolades from the regulated community -- Administrative Fines and Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR)."
Highlights of the FEC package (Congressional Justification Budget Request for FY2003*) submitted to Congress and OMB include:
-- Administrative Fine Program has streamlined the enforcement process for late and non-filer cases, while encouraging more timely filing. "For example," the Summary points out, "11% of the 2000 Year-End Reports were filed late, while 24% and 22% of the 1998 and 1996 Year-End Reports, respectively, were filed late."
-- ADR program affords both the FEC and the respondent parties the opportunity to resolve cases more rapidly. This pilot program concluded agreements with respondents and formally closed 35 cases (as of Jan. 31, 2002) in an average of 117 days from the time matters were referred to the ADR office. The Commission accepted the settlements reached in 33 of the 35 cases closed. Civil penalties from the final agreements exceeded $30,000.
From FY 1995 through FY 2000, the FEC closed an average of 205 cases each fiscal year. In FY 2001, with the addition of the administrative fine and ADR programs, the Commission closed 517 cases, a 152% increase over the FY 1995-2000 annual average of 205.
-- "The FEC enforcement goals," as established in the Strategic Plan and annual Performance Plan, the Summary notes, "seek to activate more enforcement cases and reduce the number of cases dismissed without substantive action. These goals build on the FY 2000 record when the FEC closed over 70% of the cases processed with some form of substantive action and over 50% of the average monthly caseload was actively being processed. At the same time, the FEC has improved the OGC enforcement tracking process through the Case Management System. In addition, future productivity benefits are expected from document imaging and management systems."
-- Electronic filing of campaign reports has "increased significantly the timeliness, scope, and amount of data available to FEC staff and external users of campaign finance disclosure information," the Summary notes. "A measure of the effectiveness of electronic filing is the comparison of the FEC target to process (make public) at least 95% of the itemized data within 60 days of receipt (based on historical and current experience in processing documents).
"Now that electronic filing is mandatory for most candidates and committees (excluding the Senate filings), for the 2002 cycle to date, the FEC processed 95% of the itemized data within 18 days of receipt, 42 days faster than the target. As we gain more experience with the mandatory electronic filing system, the targets for processing itemized data will be adjusted."
-- "The FEC issued draft technical Voting Systems Standards (VSS) designed as voluntary standards for election administration officials charged with selecting and using voting systems in federal elections. The final technical standards will be released formally at a conference hosted by the FECs Office of Election Administration (OEA) in April 2002. They will also be disseminated in educational outreach workshops and through other OEA efforts.
"The original FEC FY2003 budget request [$49,465,000 and 368 personnel] would have built upon the newly revised VSS by developing operational guidelines for election administrators to improve the operational management of federal elections. The Commission believed that funding of OEA initiatives to disseminate the new VSS and to begin work on operational guidelines for election administration was critical to ensure the integrity of federal elections. The OEA is the only federal office directly involved in providing assistance to state and local elections officials charged with administering federal elections," the Summary points out.
In a letter transmitting the budget-request package to Congress and OMB, FEC Chairman David Mason wrote, "The Commission strongly urges the full support of our FY 2003 budget request. We are ready to answer any questions you may have and to work with you in securing sufficient funding for the Commission in FY 2003."

I signed up to run Highlands Sky 40 Miler a long time ago. I ran it last year, struggled, but absolutely loved the course and the event. This year we had friends that wanted to join us for a fun weekend in the mountains of West Virginia. They have two kids the same age as ours, so the kids would have fun together. Also, they had never been to an Ultra event and were curious to see what it is like.
When I originally signed up, I did not know yet that I would be running MMT (and subsequently Old Dominion). So, I was coming off two 100 milers and this would be my third Ultra in five weeks. I obviously was not excepting my best effort, but at a minimum would have fun and enjoy the course through the mountains. The race starts on a two mile stretch of road before heading onto the trail. There was a good group of runners upfront including Aaron Schwartzbard, Jeremy Ramsey, Mark Lundblad, and David Frazier. When we hit the first major climb, I knew my legs were too tired to stay at the front, so I hung back a bit. The first half of the course is harder than the second half; with two steep climbs and more technical trail. Knowing this I was not too concerned about not being able to push through this section. Instead, I tried to enjoy the trail and the beautiful scenery. I also had a good time chatting with several of the other runners, including David Ruttum (he went on to finish Third) who will be running UTMB this year and had interesting stories from last year's canceled UTMB.
Coming into the halfway aid station, Anne, our friends and kids where waiting for me. Seeing I was about 20/25 minutes back, Anne asked me what was wrong. I replied - "Legs are tired, not sure why" (smirk). I was feeling very good otherwise. I quickly said goodbye and headed onto the "road across the sky." Last year I blew up during this stretch. It is a rolling dirt road that is fully exposed and you can see about a mile ahead of you at all times. Last year it was about 95 degrees and humid, which made things worse. This year it was pleasantly in the upper 70s. I was able to run this section fairly well and passed a few people. I then headed out onto the Dolly Sods, and was feeling pretty good. Legs were still tired, but over the distance they had loosened up and allowed me to run at a fairly comfortable pace.
Now comes the most interesting part of the day. About 30/31 miles into the race I start to notice that there are no trail markings. This was fine for awhile as there was really know where else to go off the trail. However, I came to a junction. The trail I was on continued straight with a sign that said private property, but there was another trail that led off to the left. I vaguely remembered the personal property sign from last year and saw footprints on the trail. So, I continued forward but soon noticed that the footprints went in both directions (someone else had run up and then run back, I was not the only one that got lost…). So I started to run back to where the last trail marking was. I now came up a couple other runners and none of us knew which way to go. There were no markings to be seen. In the distance I saw the large boulders that we were supposed to get to, but was not sure how. Eventually Bill Young, a 9-year Highlands Sky veteran, caught up to the group of now several lost runners and told us to take the trail to the left. By this point many of the runners were discouraged. I had lost at least 25 minutes, but also know that this is part of the sport and it is just another obstacle Ultra runners must occasionally deal with. I took the leap of faith and decided to run on the unmarked trail. After about two miles I finally hit the bolder section and the course markings reappeared. When I got into the aid station, the race director's sons were there about to head out to remark this section of the course; apparently some backpackers had removed the original markings.
With that drama out of the way, I just focused on finishing well. I came into the finish in 6th place (exactly as I had been seeded), right around the 7 hour mark. I was pleased with the finish, considering the miles I have put on in the last month. Most importantly I had fun and was able to really just enjoy a good long run in the mountains.
|"Would have been here sooner if I knew where I was going"
The rest of the afternoon we spent eating, talking, drinking good wine and watching the other runners come in. Our kids had a blast running up and down the hills and seeing all the overly friendly deer (they come right up to you looking for food). Our friends also had a good time, learned a lot, and were inspired by what they saw. Next year I am hoping they join us again, but this time as participants rather than spectators.

By NEMS Daily Journal
OXFORD – A July 22 trial start was set Thursday for a lawsuit alleging that adults knew of sexual molestations by former Smithville coach Dwight Bowling.
Senior U.S. District Judge Neal B. Biggers Jr. set the trial to begin at 9:30 a.m. in Oxford.
A man, who claims he was molested as a child by Bowling, sued the former coach, the Monroe County School District and various school officials whom he claims refused to do anything after they were told about misconduct.
Bowling continues serving a lengthy federal prison sentence after 2011 guilty pleas to taking minors across state lines for sex and to witness tampering. He also faces state prison time.

Aquinas, Onalaska ready for State
LA CROSSE, Wis. - Two Coulee Region teams are two wins away from a state title: Onalaska and Aquinas.
The Blugolds are making their first trip to State since 2011, when they won the title. Last year, they struggled without Bronson Koenig and Michael Conway, both of whom were injured.
"I mean this was our goal. This was my goal since last year when I knew I wasn't going to be playing last year so definitely wanted to get back to State and win it for my senior year," Koenig said.
It was a tough year last year. We had some injuries, so just to know all that went into it, fighting back, getting healthy, it means a lot this year," said Conway.
Onalaska won the State title last season. They advanced to State this year behind a 41-point performance by Matt Thomas, who has now scored 2,017 points in his high school career.19162890
"I was aware, but during the game when it happened I didn't really think anything of it. I was just trying to win the game," Thomas said.
"He's pretty special," Onalaska Head Coach Craig Kowal said. "Every time they made a run at us, he seemed to answer."
The Hilltoppers face Pulaski on Friday at 1:35. Aquinas faces top-ranked Little Chute Friday at 9 a.m.
News 8 will have coverage leading up to the games, and complete coverage from Madison later in the week.

Family: Anacardiaceae, Cashew view all from this family
Description Large, rounded evergreen shrub or small tree. Leaves taco shell shaped, having the shape of laurel leaves when flattened. Tips of stems, veins of the leaves, and edges of leaves a glowing reddish color year round. Fragrant leaves and stems give chapparal its characteristic fragrance. Leaves and stems full of flamable compounds that give it scent. Leaves appear moist and supple all year long and are highly flammable. Adapted to frequent fires; after a burn a large burl underground resprouts new stems and leaves. One of the first plants to respout after fire. California dodder (Cuscuta californica) a parasitic plant which dies in the summer on other plants, can be seen covering laruel sumac in large stringy "cobwebs" of yellow/orange color. Flowers, very small, have five white petals and five-lobed green sepals. Large clusters reminiscent of lilac smell like green apples and occur at the ends of twigs in late spring and early summer. Fruit a whitish drupe with a smooth, flattish stone inside.
Dimensions Height: 5 m. (16 ft.)
Diameter: 15 cm. (6 ft.).
Habitat Cities, suburbs & towns, Scrub, shrub & brushlands.
Range California.
Discussion Laurel sumac is sensitive to cold and does not tolerate freezing conditions. Orange growers in the early history of southern California used to pick places to plant their oranges based on where laurel sumac was growing because this indicated it would not get too cold for oranges if laurel sumac could grow there.

On Jerusalem's ancient walls hung old fans that made a rattling, windy noise. There was no money for air-conditioning. The carpet for worshipers was old and ragged. I was inside one of the world's most significant buildings, but scaffolding and clutter prevented me from seeing the center of the Dome of the Rock.
Water leaks, disheveled shoe shelves, and unclean antique tiles brought a sense of disharmony to Islam's third most sacred site. No, this was not the fault of the Jews or the West, but we Muslims who claim to fight daily for "liberating Jerusalem" and yet neglect the very heart of this city. Why? And how can this change?
I recently visited Israel and the West Bank for the first time. I am Muslim and in Muslim communities around the world to visit Israel is to support "the Zionist entity" and therefore risk social isolation. Not only is this mind-set outdated, it is self-defeating.
The Arab League began its boycott of Zionist goods back in 1945 and later created a Central Boycott Office to ensure minimal Arab contact with Israel. In reality, the Gulf states and others circumvent this policy, but the Arab and Muslim masses have yet to break free from the mind-set of boycotting all things Israeli.

i shall smack you wrists in a minute and bat you round your ear hole--mrs slocumb---are you being served?
Are you f-ing kidding me? That is sooooo damn pathetic it's not even funny. I can't even go on typing more in this post...
Up, up, and OKAAAAY!!!
Actually I think it looks cool. I love black Troopers, especially Tie Pilots. I loved the black Clone Pilot variant and the Utapau Shadow Trooper. I'll definitely be picking this one up at Comic-Con.
At least its something that for those who will not be attending don't neccessarily feel like they are missing out on. It would really suck if it was a figure that evryone wanted like one of the Tonnika Sisters or something. A black Stormtrooper most people could live without.
Good, one less thing I will have to worry about rounding up, what a pathetic piece of junk

How does one acquire this if they are not going to the event? When is it?
It will probably be offered at Star Wars shop.com after Comic-Con just like the Holo Leia was.
