Reds rally for 6-4 victory over Cubs
Cincinnati had just one hit in the decisive rally, but took advantage of another woeful outing by reliever Carlos Marmol to secure its first winning road series of the season. The Reds held on for a 6-5 victory in the opener on Friday when Darwin Barney struck out with the bases loaded to end the game.
Alfonso Soriano hit a pair of two-run homers for the Cubs, who have lost four of five. It was Soriano's 31st career multihomer game.
Shin-Soo Choo homered on the first pitch of the game. Jeff Samardzija went on to pitch six effective innings for Chicago.
James Russell got three outs before Marmol (2-2) came on to begin the eighth with a 4-2 lead. It was Marmol's 453rd relief appearance with the Cubs, snapping a tie with Lee Smith for the franchise record.
The erratic right-hander marked the occasion by walking Zack Cozart on four pitches, walking Joey Votto on a full count and hitting Brandon Phillips to load the bases with no outs.
That was enough for manager Dale Sveum, who replaced Marmol with Hector Rondon. The crowd of 36,455 showered Marmol with boos as he made his way to the dugout.
Jay Bruce hit an RBI single and Frazier followed with a fly ball to right, tying it at 4. After Xavier Paul was walked intentionally, pinch-hitter Jack Hannahan walked to force home a run and Mesoraco, another pinch hitter, sent another fly ball into right field to give the Reds a 6-4 lead.
Logan Ondrusek (2-0) worked the seventh, Jonathan Broxton pitched the eighth and Aroldis Chapman finished for his seventh save. Chapman worked around a one-out walk by Soriano one day after he gave up three runs in a non-save opportunity.
The Cubs wasted a solid start by Samardzija, who settled down after Choo sent a drive over the left-field wall for his seventh career leadoff homer. He allowed two runs, one earned, and four hits while throwing a season-high 111 pitches.
Cozart had an RBI single in the third for Cincinnati, but Samardzija retired 11 of his final 13 batters. The right-hander is winless in six starts since he tossed eight scoreless innings in a 3-1 victory at Pittsburgh on opening day.
Reds starter Tony Cingrani struggled against the heart of the Cubs' order. The left-hander hit Anthony Rizzo in the first and Soriano followed with a long drive to left. Rizzo doubled off the wall in center in the third and Soriano hit another shot to left for career homer No. 375.
Cingrani, who is from nearby Evergreen Park, allowed three hits in six innings. He struck out five and walked one.

iPhone 5 vs. Galaxy S3 review: Who wins the battle between the two hottest smartphones on the market?
After endless rumors, Apple's latest smartphone -- the iPhone 5 -- is finally out.
Rather than just do a straight iPhone 5 review, I'll address something more topical -- the hot topic that's being discussed everywhere right now, including coffee shops, television ads and everywhere online: Which smartphone is better -- the brand new iPhone 5, or the recently released Samsung Galaxy S3?
I happened to have my hands on both at the same time (a Verizon iPhone 5, and an AT&T Galaxy S3), so I'll run down the comparisons between the two and let you know how the two most well-known super-phones on the market compare.
First, let's talk about screen size. The iPhone 5 has grown, it's up to 4 inches; the first size upgrade since the phone debuted. This means a taller, larger screen that iPhone fans have been waiting for. This is better, but not as much as I would have wanted. Even at 4 inches, I find the keyboard to be a bit small for typing.
If you want real size, the GS3 has the numbers - 4.8 inches to be exact. This is more real estate for your viewing pleasure, though some folks might not want a phone that big. It's up to each person to decide how big is too big, but I think most people will be just fine with a 4.8 inch screen, which is a little more manageable than the 5-inch plus screen on phones like the Galaxy Note and the LG Intuition.
In terms of materials, the iPhone wins this battle; it's more solid and less plasticky, an Apple hallmark. But don't think the GS3 is a slouch here. It will withstand some drops too, it's just not quite as sturdy as the iPhone. To be safe, with either phone, get a case.
Slimness is close, but iPhone wins out by a hair ... 0.30 inches for iPhone, 0.34 inches for GS3. The difference is negligible, as both are very slim and light.
Full specs are as follows: The iPhone comes in at 4.87 inches high, 2.31 inches wide, .3 inches thick and a weight of 3.95 ounces. The GS3 is 5.38 inches high, 2.78 inches wide, .34 inches thick, and weighs 4.7 ounces.
In terms of what you'll see on screen, both devices offer sharp visual quality for viewing media and photos and video.
With the iPhone 5, you get their well-known Retina display on the 4-inch touchscreen.
There is a 1136x640 resolution, or 326 ppi (pixels per inch). There is a fingerprint-resistant coating on the front, but it didn't really work in my experience. I still found myself wiping my fingerprints off the phone regularly.
In the GS3, you get a slightly better resolution of 1280x720, but due to the larger 4.8-inch size the ppi is slightly less. The HD Super AMOLED screen on the GS3 is very bright and attractive.
This is one area where I would call it a push between the two phones. The numbers are slightly different, but both look amazing.
The iPhone 5, no exaggeration, is lightning quick. Apple did a bang-up job with its dual-core Apple A6 processor, and you won't be waiting long to do anything.
But hold on, because the GS3 is definitely up to pace, in fact it's even faster. Its 1.5 GHz dual-core Snapdragon processor is nothing to sneeze at (the European version is even better with a quad-core processor). Multitasking will not slow it down in the least, even if it involves intensive apps such as Pandora Radio or Netflix. (Side note: One benefit of Android over Apple's operating system is that multitasking is much easier to manage on the Android OS than it is on an iPhone)
In the area of RAM, the iPhone 5 features 1 GB, but the GS3 features a whopping 2GB of RAM. This is going to become the new standard for smartphones, and the iPhone 5 will be seen as behind in this area, though Apple will argue its operating system requires less RAM to operate than the Android OS.
You can get the iPhone with various storage levels -- 16, 32 or 64 GB; of course, that's what you get, no upgradability in the iPhones. The GS3 is available in 16GB or 32 GB options, plus it has a microSD slot, which allows for up to 64GB, so the potential for more storage space is there on the GS3. Realistically, though, most people don't need to go past 64 GB, or even that high, especially with so much data and music, etc., stored in the cloud these days (For example, all your music could be stored online in iTunes or Google Music, so it wouldn't take up space on your phone).
The big news about the iPhone 5 is that it's (finally) capable of accessing the 4G networks of its carriers, another example of Apple showing up fashionably late to the party. That is big news for Apple fans, who now will get faster downloads and uploads as a result.
But as Apple's competitors are quick to point out, that's old news for Android phone users. They've been using the faster 4G LTE networks for over a year now, so in this area Apple is just catching up to the Android competition.
The iPhone is offered on Verizon, AT&T, and Sprint, who all have their own 4G LTE networks. Verizon and AT&T's networks are the most expansive right now, and Sprint's is newer so its reach is limited.
The Galaxy S3 is available on all four major wireless networks - Verizon, AT&T, Sprint and T-Mobile. It's basically the same phone on all four networks, other than some carrier-specific software that's included on each version of the phone, plus the fact that it will access a different 4G network, depending which version you buy.
More and more these days, people skip the standalone digital camera and rely on their smartphones. As a result, there are high expectations in this regard.
Good news: Both the iPhone 5 and the Galaxy S3 have fantastic cameras, and fantastic video quality too.
Both devices have an 8-megapixel camera in the rear, as well as crystal-clear 1080p HD video that looks amazing and life-like on replay. They do well in low light, for the most part, compared to previous versions of these phones.
In the area of front camera, which is used primarily for video chat, the GS3 does a little better with its 1.9-megapixel camera. The iPhone 5 front camera comes in at 1.2 megapixels. Both phones' front camera feature 720p HD video quality.
Both phones have a great deal of editing/cropping/sharing ability in regard to photos, as was as various modes such as burst mode and panorama to choose from. To be fair, the Android phones have had the panorama shot for a while, and it's now becoming available to iPhone users with the latest update to Apple's operating system.
iphone Connector issue
In addition to the change in size, a major update on the iPhone 5 is the new size of the charging connector - the newly named Lightning connector that is a lot smaller than all previous Apple chargers. A connector is included with your phone, but if you want to connect your iPhone 5 to your old iPhone accessories, you'll need a new Lightning adaptor - which, in true Apple fashion, they're willing to sell you online for only $30 (yes, a bit ridiculous I know).
Luckily for the Apple faithful, knockoffs usually come shortly after a new overprice adaptor is announced, but Apple should be ashamed of itself for this overcharging here like it always does for its silly adaptors. They probably cost $2 to make, and it's simply price gouging. (Luckily for them, the most hardcore Apple fanboys/fangirls don't care about their general trend of overpricing everything the company sells, for some strange reason I've yet to comprehend.)
One big software change on the iPhone 5 is that Apple now relies on its own maps, and no longer uses Google maps. There have been some major bumps in the road for Apple in this transition, especially in Europe, where mapping is just way off. Even in the U.S., some folks aren't happy with how the new maps work.
This is a work in progress, and a result of Apple trying to distance itself from its rivals (Google is behind the Android operating system, hence the distancing), so for now and probably a long time, the GS3 has the edge in terms of getting you where you need to go properly. If I were a user of the new iPhone, the downgrading of the navigation capability of my phone would be very annoying. They'd be better of just going online and visiting Google Maps and leaving the Apple navigation alone completely until they work out the bugs in this transition.
Point blank, Apple's weakening of its maps feature is the biggest disappointment on the iPhone 5, and a big win for the Galaxy S3 in comparison, as Google Maps work wonderfully on it.
Of course, behind all this other mess, it's really - for a lot of folks - all about the apps.
Apple, of course, was out with its iPhone before Android phones ever hit the market, so they got a big jump on the competition in terms of having better app selection. And it's true that pretty much whatever you need to do with an app, Apple's got you covered on the iPhone.
But that doesn't necessarily mean the Android competition loses this battle. It may have gotten a later start, but in the past several years Google's Android Market (now referred to as the Google Play Store) has grown by leaps and bounds, and I would say at this point it's caught up to Apple's App Store in terms of offering whatever you might need in the app department.
In the past, the apps battle was a clear win for Apple, but I think those days are over.
Operating systems
This is really the big difference between these two phones.
Apple's iPhone 5 runs the latest version of Apple's operating system - iOS 6. This features integration with Apple's ecosystem - iTunes, iBooks, etc. When you use an iPhone, you're in Apple's world. Some people like that, others don't.
With the Galaxy S3, you get Android 4.0 (aka Ice Cream Sandwich), and an update promised soon to Android 4.1 (aka Jelly Bean), and you're in Google's world here - Google Maps, Google Voice, Gmail, etc.
The operating systems operate quite differently in my experience. I find the Android OS more easily maneuverable than iOS 6, for basic reasons such as the presence of a pull down menu listing your apps in use, and the presence of a back button on the phone instead of having to hunt for an arrow within each app to return to the previous screen. Other little things bother me about iOS 6, such as the more difficult steps you must take to sign out of some apps that are operating in the background.
Still, I know a lot of folks who love their iPhones and don't complain about the user experience, so obviously we're not all going to have the same opinion in this regard. This opinion about operating system preference, to me, is the decision you'll make that will likely have the biggest impact in determining which of the two phones you prefer.
One feature that the GS3 has that the iPhone 5 does not is NFC, aka near-field communication, which allows users of phones that both have this feature to share certain things by simply tapping the phones together, and you can use it to pay for purchases. It's a very cool feature, though not widely used yet, so I don't think it will sway too many people from Apple to Android. But, it's fair to mention that Apple is lagging behind in this exciting new area of smartphone technology, and if they're smart they'll make sure to add it on next year's model.
Call quality
Call quality on these phones will, of course, depend on which network you are using and where you are calling to/from, but in my time with Verizon's iPhone 5 and AT&T's GS3, I didn't experience any dropped calls or distortion or anything of that sort. It would appear to me that the issues previous versions of the iPhone have had with call quality are now pretty much gone.
4G phones are notorious for sucking up battery, but with proper management of your features like WiFi and Bluetooth, you can make them last longer.
Samsung's GS3 slightly outlasted Apple's iPhone in my testing, and both were among the better 4G phones I've seen so far. They got me through the day and then some, unless I was just going crazy with my app use.
New EarPods
One small change on the iPhone 5 comes in the area of accessories, as a new variety of earphones are included -- called EarPods. As you can guess, they fit better in your ear. Hardly revolutionary, but I suppose they do feel a little better in the ear.
Siri vs. S Voice
The star feature of the iPhone 4S was Siri, your personal assistant who will answer any question you ask - sometimes accurately, sometimes not. She's a little better this time around, and still has a little wit in her, but Samsung also offers something similar on the GS3 - called S Voice. It's got its own bugs, too, just like Siri, but both of them allow you to ask questions, open apps, make calls, etc.
Some consider S Voice to be a clone of Siri, but that's for the courts to settle (Apple and Samsung will likely be suing each other into the next century over various copyright cases). To the user, I'll just say this: Both Siri and S Voice do what they're supposed to do - for the most part, but with a few hiccups that will likely be worked out on future updates. Siri maybe gets a slight advantage, but it's not by much.
The pricing for the iPhone 5 is the same on Verizon, AT&T and Sprint: With a new 2-year-contract, you pay $199 for the 16GB version, $299 for the 32GB version and $399 for the 64GB version.
Costs for the Samsung Galaxy S3 vary by carrier: On both Verizon and Sprint, it costs $199.99 for 16GB version, $249.99 for 32GB version, with new contract; on AT&T, it's $199.99 for 16GB version (and refurbished GS3s are just $99.99) with a new contract; and on T-Mobile, prices are now $99.99 for 16GB version and $149.99 for 32GB version, with a new contract.
This is to be expected, as Apple never adjusts its pricing (at least until the next model comes out), but with the Android phones you can sometimes catch a break at the point of purchase. Personally, I think the $399.99 price out of pocket even with a contract is a bit ridiculous, but I doubt most people would go that route anyway, as 64GB is not needed by 90-some percent of buyers.
As Samsung and Apple battle in the courtroom over copyrights and the billions they are making, the battle between these two superphones is now officially under way, as the iPhone 5 is finally here to compete with the Galaxy S3, which had been dominating the market for the past several months.
My final verdict is that these phones are very close in overall performance and quality, but the undeniable truth is that the iPhone 5 is finally catching up to its Android competition - namely the Galaxy S3. Most specs are very close between the phones, but the Galaxy S3 has some features that you can't do with iPhone (NFC) and better maps/navigation.
Both phones are very fast, have 4G access, great cameras and video, and it's a safe bet to say these are the two best phones on the market right now. Really, in the end, it all comes down to what is your favorite operating system and how big you want your phone to be.
Some people (aka Apple fanboys/fangirls) swear by Apple and herald the greatness of iOS 6, which I recognize does have some solid upgrades. But others (aka Fandroids) believe that Android's OS is far superior and easier to use.
In my book, the Galaxy S3 is slightly ahead in this battle, but those who swear by the iPhone likely won't agree with me. Still, I recommend they check out the alternatives though before committing to the iPhone 5.
The iPhone may still be a great phone, but we're long past the day where it was assumed to be the best phone on the market. That only lasted a couple years, really. This time around, the Galaxy S3 gives the iPhone 5 a good run for its money, and is arguably better, so I would recommend all new smartphone buyers contemplating buying either phone try out both and see what side of the argument they choose to be on.

These deer has such sweet faces!
And they loved to get fed by the park visitors. I think this little guy must have still been hungry with his tongue out!
There was one big Daddy Reindeer, with extra-large antlers on his head! He must have been the big daddy of all the other deer.
Then what did my mom see running around the park? A White Leghorn Rooster! He had something on his head too! It was bright red, and mom told me it is called a "comb". Now why would a rooster need a comb when he has no hair??
Last, but not least......I pondered this thought......
The Deer and I have similar fur colors, and dark tails, so is there a chance I am related to them in some way? Ok, that is probably a silly thought to ponder, but it sure would be nice to have relatives who were this sweet and friendly! I am glad they are my friends!

Arizona Death: Possible Connection to Massive E.Coli Outbreak
The death of an Arizona patient could be linked to the deadly German E. coli epidemic that caused 29 deaths and sickened thousands, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported on Thursday. The outbreak has alarmed doctors, who have never seen such an aggressive intestinal bacteria before.
U.S. health officials say the epidemic was more deadly than previous outbreaks because it combined dangerous characteristics of two different strains of the bacteria. The unusual combination of traits makes it more likely for infected people to develop a potentially fatal kidney complication called hemolytic uremic syndrome, or HUS, researchers said.
There are already five confirmed cases in the U.S., but the Arizona man would be the first death directly linked to the outbreak in Europe.
It has been confirmed that the man had recently visited Germany, according to a statement by the CDC.
His death is currently under investigation but health officials say he did have hemolytic uremic syndrome (kidney failure) similar to the hundreds of afflicted people in Europe.
The massive outbreak has sickened 3,601 people, including 815 with HUS, and killed 39, according to the Robert Koch Institute.
Recent studies conclude that the "STEC O104:H4 outbreak in Germany and other European countries "is so far one the largest reported outbreaks in the world."
According to new findings published in The Lancet Infectious Diseases "kidney complications are usually observed in children under age 5; however, in this outbreak the great majority of cases are adults, with more than two-thirds being women."
"Although we lack an explanation for increased virulence, this outbreak tragically shows that blended virulence profiles in enteric pathogens introduced into susceptible populations can have serious consequences for infected people," researchers in the Lancet Infectious Diseases journal said.
The bacteria produced a poisonous by-product called Shiga toxin and had the ability to stack together and stick to the gut, researchers led by Helge Karch, director of the Hygiene Institute at the University of Muenster, said in an article published in the journal.
The CDC says any person with recent travel to Germany with signs or symptoms of STEC infection or HUS, should seek medical care and let the medical provider know about the outbreak of STEC infections in Germany and the importance of being tested.
Symptoms of STEC infection include severe stomach cramps, diarrhea, which is often bloody, and vomiting. If there is fever, it usually is not very high.
Most people get better within 5-7 days, but some patients go on to develop HUS-usually about a week after the diarrhea starts. Symptoms of HUS include decreased frequency of urination, feeling very tired, and losing pink color to skin and membranes due to anemia.
Health officials announced earlier this month that contaminated raw sprouts from one farm in Germany are the likely source of the outbreak, after incorrectly blaming Spanish cucumbers at first.
German health officials said the farm has been closed and the sprouts produced there are no longer in restaurants or store shelves in Germany.
In 1997, E. coli detected in alfalfa sprouts infected 108 people in Michigan and Virginia. Health department specialists and epidemiologists in both states quickly isolated the specific strain of E. coli found in victims and conducted interviews to determine the source of the sprouts, finding that the alfalfa fields at the four suspect farms were possibly contaminated by cattle manure, run-off water or deer feces.
Sprouts have been a common culprit in such outbreaks, having been linked to 30 outbreaks over the past 15 years, according to the CDC.
In the previous worst case, which occurred in Japan in 1996, 12 people died and more than 9,000 fell ill from tainted radish sprouts.
Sprouts are grown in hot, humid conditions -- ideal breeding grounds for E. coli bacteria.

Five Academy for Creative Media student films to screen at the Shanghai International Film Festival
Event marks ACM's inaugural participation in UH-Shanghai University film exchangeUniversity of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa
Academy for Creative Media
Arlene Abiang, (808) 956-5637
External Affairs & University Relations
HONOLULU — The Academy for Creative Media (ACM) at the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa will screen five of its students' films at the 9th Shanghai International Film Festival (SIFF) on June 20, 2006 in Shanghai, China. The nine-day festival, held this year from June 17-25, is among the top ten of worldwide film festivals.
The five student films to screen at the SIFF include award-winning films "Plastic Leis" (Golden Honu Award, 2006 Big Island Film Festival) directed by Ty Sanga; "Steve Maʻiʻi" (Audience Favorite Award, 2004 Hawaii International Film Festival) directed by Kaliko Palmiera; "Tunnels" (Best Music in a Short Film, 2006 WorldFest-Houston International Film Festival) and "Still" directed by Jay Hubert; and "Elevation" ( Best Film Award, Hawaii Pacific University's 2006 Short on the Rocks Film Festival) directed by Seong Whang. The student filmmakers (except Palmiera) will travel to Shanghai to screen their films.
The films are part of the Student Media Art Exchange (SMART Xchange) program between the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa and Shanghai University, in conjunction with the SIFF and the Hawaiʻi International Film Festival (HIFF). ACM's participation in the SIFF marks the program's inaugural exchange. Shanghai University film students will have a similar opportunity to showcase select films at the HIFF in October.
"Our SMART Xchange illustrates the international reach of ACM and the solid storytelling talents of our student filmmakers across cultures," said ACM Director Chris Lee. "We're particularly proud of the Hawaiʻi-based themes of these films that offer a more accurate and reinvigorated image of local life and culture."
Lee added, "When added to the numerous national festivals that have screened our student films, and our partnership with the Korean Film Commission to develop Korean and Korean American filmmakers, ACM is taking Hawaiʻi to a global audience."
During the festival, ACM officials will work on strengthening the student film and filmmaker exchange program with Shanghai University, as well as forging another exchange agreement with the Shanghai Institute for Visual Arts.
The ACM student filmmakers will also take part in an SIFF film forum, "Future Tides: Sino-American Students' Short Programs Exchange," moderated by director Jia Zhangke (Shijie: The World). ACM Director Chris Lee will participate in a forum on the "Relationship Between Chinese and Hollywood Film" along with directors Ang Lee (Brokeback Mountain) and Feng Xiaogang (A World Without Thieves, Shou Ji).
About the Shanghai International Film Festival
First run in 1993, the Shanghai International Film Festival was accredited by the International Federation of Film Producers Association (FIAPF) as one of non-specialized competitive international film festivals in 1994. The festival is the only annual world film gathering in the Chinese market, the market that has not been completely open to the outside world, with total involvement of 959 official films selected out among 3823 submissions from over 60 countries and regions and the box office reaching 27.7 million RMB in the previous editions. Fascinated by filmgoers in Shanghai and its surrounding areas, the nine-day festival in June has become an important movie celebration event highlighting cultural life in Shanghai.

JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (Jan. 23, 2014) – Hitting 32 of 33 free throws and manufacturing a 16-2 run midway through the second half, the ETSU men's basketball team rebounded from a tough Florida road swing with a 99-93 win over Atlantic Sun Conference foe North Florida Thursday night inside the ETSU/MSHA Athletic Center.
The Buccaneers – who had lost three of their last four games – improved to 10-10 overall, 3-4 in A-Sun play, while North Florida fell to 11-10, 5-3. The Ospreys are now 0-9 all-time in the Dome.
"We weren't feeling real good coming back after the Florida trip, so this helps," said ETSU head coach Murry Bartow, who picked up his 199th victory at ETSU with the win. "I don't want to say this was a must win, but we did need it. Now, we have something we can hopefully build on."
The offensive effort – especially in the second half – was impressive. ETSU finished the game shooting 50 percent from 3-point range (9-of-18) and 97 percent from the free throw line, while scoring 58 points and shooting 59 percent from the floor in the second half.
Four ETSU players reached double figures, led by a team-high 24 points from senior post Hunter Harris (Nashville), while junior guard Rashawn Rembert (Tampa, Fla.) added 22 points. In addition, senior forward Kinard Gadsden-Gilliard (Georgetown, S.C.) netted 19 points, junior guard Jalen Riley (Racine, Wis.) pitched in 18, and sophomore point guard Petey McClain (Mobile, Ala.) finished with nine assists and no turnovers.
The game saw multiple lead changes and ties over the first 32 minutes of play, but the critical stretch for ETSU came with less than eight minutes left in the second half. At that point, Rembert re-entered the contest despite having four fouls and responded by scoring the first seven points of a 16-3 run that took a 70-68 UNF lead, and turned it into an 83-70 ETSU advantage.
The Ospreys would manage to cut that advantage to just five at 87-82 with 2:21 left, but the Bucs' finished from there with a perfect 12-of-12 clip from the charity stripe. In all, ETSU would hit its final 23 foul shots in the game.
For UNF, forward Beau Beech scored a game-high and career-high 28 points to lead the way, while forwards Jalen Nesbitt, Chris Davenport, Travis Wallace and Demarcus Daniels also reach double figures scoring. The Ospreys were out-rebounded 35-34, but did lead the game 43-41 at half.
The Bucs will return home for the second game of their current five-game home stretch when they take on Jacksonville Saturday afternoon inside the ETSU/MSHA Athletic Center at 4 p.m. For more on ETSU men's hoops throughout the year, visit ETSUBucs.com and click on the men's hoops link.

Dave Grohl on Foo Fighters' Hard Rock / Metal Grammy Win: I Feel Bad for Dream Theater
As the 2012 Grammy Awards slowly become a spotlit memory, one of the most successful and featured winners of "music's biggest night" were Foo Fighters. With his band having captured five Grammy awards (only one less than pop star Adele), including Best Hard Rock / Metal Performance, frontman Dave Grohl revealed to MTV that he feels bad for beating out Dream Theater for that very award.
It seemed like the cameras couldn't keep their lenses off of Dave Grohl during the pre-show, red carpet and Grammy ceremony. The Foo Fighters frontman was shown accepting awards for Best Hard Rock / Metal Performance, Best Rock Song, Best Rock Album, Best Long-Form Music Video and Best Rock Performance. Grohl also appeared in three separate live performances throughout the show – playing 'Walk' with his band, collaborating with Deadmau5 for a multi-genre mix of 'Rope' and finally jamming with Paul McCartney, Bruce Springsteen and others during the show's conclusion.
Despite his success and constant ear-to-ear smile, Grohl was feeling badly for Dream Theater. "We got it!" Grohl said about winning the Best Hard Rock / Metal Performance Grammy. "I feel so bad for the Dream Theater guy, because they actually had a metal performance, we didn't, but it's awesome. That's kind of the coolest song we've ever written," he said of the edgy 'White Limo.'
Check out a recap of Foo Fighters' triumphant night at the Grammys here.

Just a suggestion. My comments can be a search term for more information on the subjects I mention.
I got into the registration line with Chris Dancy and got a first hand look at his iPhone apps connected to his very obvious Google glasses. Very interesting. They had us all in a large conference room with tables and lunch for all of the attendees. Box lunches. OK, back to Chris Dancy, he is known as the world's most connected human. From a very short conversation, I can say that the reputation is probably true. The idea here at the Innovator Summit is that FamilySearch is open for business to help people find their ancestors. Story by Ben Bennett about his search for his grandmother.

Moving to a single platform so that all their users can access the same information from all of the databases. One centralized server. Single platform. They want to partner with more entitles to make more records available.
Meantime, I ended up on Chris Dancy's Google glasses recording out there on the Internet somewhere.
Andrew outlines a capture app for smartphones that will allow users to capture memories from relatives and add them to a family tree profile. It appears that integration is the goal.
Chris Dancy, BMC Software
Brief video clip about Chris. I believe this is online and I viewed part of it previously. Slide on Facebook for the Dead. He comments that he is covered in Electronics. He talks about what it means to be immortal. Boston University study on immortality. Egyptian Book of the Dead was created for the living. Is immortality confined to what is preserved about an individual during life? People are dying all the time. Culturally we have traditions concerning death and now we are moving into a concept of digital preservation. Digitally it is really hard to die. How do we treat people who have passed away online. Bringing people back digitally from the dead. What does it mean to die today? Now you can have Tweeji, to tweet dead people. The dead's Facebook accounts are kept open. CG recreations of people who have died. There is now an indistinct difference between the living and the dead when websites and Facebook pages for people with tragic deaths.
Amanda @TrappedAtMyDesk is an example of the type of website where people are preserved after death as if the person was still there. Historical Identity can become a digital identity. The Internet of Things. Gero Lab. Deathswitch.com, The Tweet Hereafter, Last words from IfIDie. These are services that will send your last words to whomever you choose. Books Your Digital Afterlife and Digital Archeology. Dancy is totally connected. Is this good? Maslow's Quantified Digital Self. "The machine is a tool. But it is not a neutral tool". Jacques Ellul What happens when there are more digitally dead people than those who are digitally alive. When you touch a system, you are probably touching a system that is recorded.

We are right in the middle of summer. And it could not be clearer (with the exception of today—what is southern California?). From weather reports, we're in this for the long-haul. Which only means one thing—
T-shirts galore. They're comfortable, they're protective, they can be fashionable, and most importantly, they keep you comfortable in this heat wave.
There are a number of factors that go into choosing the perfect t-shirt for you though. Fittings vary depending on brand, as do breathability and style. It's funny to think that this is one of the most-sold items globally, yet so few people own t-shirts that they truly feel flatter them and are comfortable. A lot of picking the t-shirt that best suits you, is trial and error. But through my lustrous experience as an avid t-shirt wearer, I have gained some insight that might assist you in your t-shirt journey.

Multiple Sclerosis Management
Receiving a diagnosis of Multiple Sclerosis (MS) or experiencing an exacerbation of this chronic, degenerative disorder can be devastating. For patients and their families, learning to live with MS is often a daunting challenge, but new treatments and compensatory strategies can help to optimize function and independence.
Kessler Institute for Rehabilitation offers a unique neuropsychology-driven outpatient program that addresses the specific psychosocial and cognitive needs of persons living with MS. Our dedicated team of neurorehabilitation specialists effectively integrates evidence-based treatment with the latest medical and technological advances to help individuals manage this disease.
Our Approach
Understanding is the cornerstone of Kessler's Multiple Sclerosis Rehabilitation Program. Our psychologists and neuropsychologists conduct an extensive clinical interview with each client, as well as a neuropsychological evaluation, if indicated, to best identify and understand the range of physical, cognitive, and emotional concerns. This comprehensive assessment process will help determine the combination of services that will best meet the individual's needs.
The program includes three major components:
Psychoeducational Support Group Services
The focus of these services is to create a greater awareness - and indeed, an understanding - of the many changes that an individual with MS might experience. The small group sessions, facilitated by a psychologist, are held for 8 consecutive weeks and topics include:
- Mind/body interaction
- Adjusting to your changing self
- Managing MS-related fatigue
- Loss, grief and spirituality
- Communication and relationships
- Coping mechanisms
- Stress management
- Cognitive challenges
The program is geared to helping clients:
- set realistic functional goals
- enhance and build on personal strengths
- address complex emotional challenges
- utilize the support systems available to them
- establish a new and/or renewed sense of self and of one's family structure
In addition, individual and family counseling is available to further support our clients' needs.
- Neurocognitive Rehabilitation Services
These highly specialized services are designed to assist the client in identifying and targeting specific cognitive functions known to be affected in MS, such as memory and problem solving. Using evidence-based methodologies, Kessler's clinicians provide compensatory strategies to improve cognition and develop the skills that enable individuals to effectively manage daily activities.
- Medical and Therapy Rehabilitation Services
Kessler's MS Rehabilitation Program draws on the expertise of the team to identify the need for physical, occupational and/or speech therapy, as well as the services of a Kessler physiatrist, a board-certified physician specializing in physical medicine and rehabilitation. Progress is carefully monitored and treatment plans are updated accordingly.
Specialized Services
To support the changing needs of our clients, Kessler offers a wide range of specialized services, including:
- Driver Rehabilitation Program
- Wheelchair Seating & Mobility Services
- Assistive Technologies
- Vocational Rehabilitation
- Neuro-Optometry Services
- Urology Services
- Case Management Resources
For More Information

Sen. John Cornyn and House Homeland Security Committee chairman. Michael McCaul, R-Austin, filed legislation today that would force the Department of Homeland Security to tangibly measure border security as Congress seeks to reform immigration.
Border security has been one of the biggest blockades to bipartisan reform. Proponents of immigration reform argue the border is secure and it is time to move forward with a pathway to citizenship.
At the end of March, Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano described the border as "secure as its ever been".
Cornyn and McCaul beg to differ, and McCaul said the proposed their bill intends to suggest the border is a more complicated issue than people in Washington think.
"If there's been one public official that's been most irresponsible in dealing with the sequester, it's been Janet Napolitano," Cornyn said.
The bill, known as the Border Security Results Act 2013, will require the Department of Homeland Security to assess the border using results metrics and develop a plan that would give the United States "operational control" of its borders.
"Until Congress mandates the creation of a national strategy, the Administration will continue to say the border is secure while America's back door remains wide open," McCaul said.
Cornyn said that since 2010 there has been no metric to measure border security. He believes this bill will ensure that national security policy is based on real results, not "baseless claims"
"Operational control" is defined by the legislation as a 90 percent apprehension rate and a 50 percent reduction in wait time at the border.
"For too long, we have approached border security backwards – by throwing resources at the problem, to plug the holes on our borders without a comprehensive plan to tactically distribute those resources," McCaul said.
Cornyn said the bill falls in line with what the Gang of Eight is reportedly drafting, although no plan has been made public as of yet. Cornyn said in his private conversations with Marco Rubio, R-Fla., and Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., they are as "flummoxed" as he is about the lack of a "measuring stick" with which to assess the border.
The lawmakers said the bill does not tell the Department of Homeland Security how to go about securing the border. Rather, it asks the department to come back to Congress with what they will need – under a tight deadline.
The bill requires Napolitano to submit a report that assesses and describes the state of "operational control" no later than 60 days after the bills enactment. Napolitano is then required to submit a plan "a comprehensive strategy for gaining and maintaining operational control" of borders within two years.
The plan will need to include efforts to increase situational awareness, technology implementation, staffing requirements, and agreements with foreign governments.
Rep. Pete Gallego, D-Apline, said he hopes the bill wasn't proposed to build another wall against pathways to citizenship. Gallego represents 800 miles of the Texas-Mexico border, and doesn't see how the bills requirements will be met.
"The math doesn't add up," Gallego said. "You can't reduce border wait times and apprehend more people with fewer employees and less money. Those who supported sequestration should see that."
Gallego said he is supportive of the effort to reduce border wait times, but says voters want to see immigration reform now.

But Jackson's slider saw the most improvement. He threw it about one in every four pitches with Arizona at an average of 85.4 miles per hour, and it was a few ticks above average at 0.56 w/RC. With the White Sox, Jackson threw his slider 36.1 percent of the time at an average of 87.6 miles per hour—and, not surprisingly, the pitch was worth 2.28 runs above average per 100 pitches.
JJ also looked at Gavin Floyd's curveball and John Danks' changeup.

With the advance of technology, the price for extra CPU, Memory and Network bandwidth units has become negligible. Thus it has become affordable for most hosting providers to maintain very fast and powerful servers. While the above is true in most cases, some hosts such as SiteGround have gone beyond the industry standards. We are proud to announce that the load on our servers is kept much below the server's capacity. This allows us to support almost every kind of site - from small personal sites to corporative business portals, from simple PHP scripts to huge forums. Though no matter which your host is and how fast and optimized its servers are, your site may still load slowly. There are many factors, which affect negatively the site performance such as:
- Connectivity Problems - slow / unstable connection between you and the server;
- Application / Development problems - your website's code is not optimized and takes a lot of time to be executed
- Incorrect Scalability - that's when the needs of your website have exceeded the server capacity.
Very often it takes just a few steps to make your site load much faster. This could involve enabling cache, removing heavy modules or something else. There are plenty of articles on the net available for just about any web application.

Sam's Wines & Liquors, Inc. v. Hartig, 2008 WL 4394962 (N.D.Ill. September 24, 2008)
Hartig worked for Sam's Wines & Liquors and had access to a password-protected customer list. Hartig left Sam's in June 2005 and went to work for Plinio Group. Some two and a half years after leaving Sam's, Hartig sent an email to customers appearing on Sam's list, soliciting business for Plinio.
Sam's claimed that Hartig used his password to access and copy the customer list prior to the time he resigned. So Sam's sued Hartig for a number of things, including violation of the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act (CFAA), 18 U.S.C. 1030 et seq. Hartig moved to dismiss the CFAA claim under Rule 12(b)(6) for failure to state a claim upon which relief can be granted. The court granted the motion.
Hartig put forth three arguments why the CFAA claim should be thrown out. First, he argued that Sam's had not and could not adequately allege that Hartig accessed a protected computer without authorization, or that he exceeded his authorized access. Second, he argued that Sam's had not and could not allege that it suffered "damage" under the CFAA from Hartig's conduct. Finally, he argued that Sam's had not and could not allege that it suffered "loss" under the CFAA from Hartig's conduct.
The court held that Sam's adequately pled unauthorized access to a protected computer (applying the agency principles Judge Posner set forth in Intl. Airport Centers v. Citrin, 440 F.3d 418 (7th Cir. 2006)). It also held that the expenses Sam's incurred in responding to Hartig's alleged conduct were properly pled as "loss" under the CFAA. But the claim failed on the damage element: merely accessing the information and allegedly using it while working for a competitor was not "impairment to the integrity or availability of data, a program, a system, or information."
See Garelli Wong & Assoc., Inc. v. Nichols, 551 F.Supp.2d 704 (N.D.Ill. 2008) for a similar analysis.

Goffine's Devout Instructions – Feast of Saint Bridget, Abbess and Patroness of Ireland
Saint Bridget was born about the year 453 at Fochard, in Ulster. When about twenty years old she received the veil from Saint Mel, the nephew and disciple of Saint Patrick. So many sought the religious life under her direction that a convent, the first in Ireland, was erected for her and she was made superior. From this parent stem branched forth other convents in different parts of Ireland, all which acknowledged her as their mother and foundress. Several churches in England and Scotland are dedicated to God under her name, and some also in Germany and in France. After seventy years devoted to the practice of the most sublime virtups, corporal infirmities admonished our saint that the time of her dissolution was nigh. For half a century she had irrevocably consecrated herself to God, and during that period great results had been attained. The day on which our abbess was to quit this life, 1 February 523, having arrived, she received the blessed body and blood of her Lord in the Blessed Eucharist, and, as it would seem, immediately after her spirit passed forth, and went to possess Him in that heavenly country where He is seen face to face and enjoyed without danger of ever losing Him. Her body was interred in the church adjoining her convent, bnt was some time after exhumed, and deposited in a splendid shrine near the high altar. In the ninth century, the country being desolated by the Danes, the remains of Saint Bridget were removed to Down-Patrick, where they were deposited in the same grave with those of Saint Patrick. Their bodies, together with that of Saint Columba were translated afterwards to the cathedral of the same city, but their monument was destroyed in the reign of King Henry VIII. The head of Saint Bridget is now kept in the church of the Jesuits at Lisbon.
The Introit of the Mass is as follows:
"Thou hast loved justice and hated iniquity; therefore, O God, Thy God hath anointed Thee with the oil of gladness above Thy fellows. My heart hath uttered a good word. I speak my works to the King." Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit. As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.
Give ear to us, O God our Saviour, that, as we celebrate with joy the solemnity of blessed Bridget Thy virgin, so we may improve in the affection of piety. Through Christ, Our Lord, Amen.
Epistle: II Corinthians 10:17-18; 11:1-2
Brethren: He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord. For not he who commendeth himself is approved, but he whom God commendeth. Would to God you could bear with some little of my folly, but do bear with me. For I am jealous of you with the jealousy of God. For I have espoused you to one husband that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ.
Gospel: Matthew 25:1-13
At that time Jesus spoke to His disciples this parable: Then shall the kingdom of heaven be like to ten virgins, who, taking their lamps, went out to meet the bridegroom and the bride. And five of them were foolish, and five wise; but the five foolish, having taken their lamps, did not take oil with them, but the wise took oil in their vessels with the lamps. And the bridegroom tarrying, they all slumbered and slept. And at midnight there was a cry made: Behold the bridegroom cometh, go ye forth to meet him. Then all those virgins arose and trimmed their lamps. And the foolish said to the wise: Give us of your oil for our lamps are gone out. The wise answered, saying: Lest perhaps there be not enough for us and for you, go you rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves. Now whilst they went to buy, the bridegroom came, and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage, and the door was shut. But at last came also the other virgins, saying: Lord, Lord, open to us. But He answering said: Amen I say to you, I know you not. Watch ye therefore, because you know not the day nor the hour.

- Subject: [mg85972] Magnification?
- From: AES <siegman at stanford.edu>
- Date: Fri, 29 Feb 2008 06:20:53 -0500 (EST)
- Organization: Stanford University
1) Changing the magnification value in the small drop-down menu at the bottom left of a notebook window obviously magnifies the on-screen display (but presumably NOT the printed page contents resulting from a Print command?) For example, select all the cells in a NB; set this magnification number to, say, 150%; the whole notebook expands as above. 2) Now, type the word Magnification into a new Input cell, then select *anything* else in the NB -- another cell, a word in another cell, all the cells in the NB; then again change the magnification value in the little bottom drop-down menu: **Only the word Magnification in that one input cell changes (even though it's no longer selected). Nothing else -- including any other selection you make -- changes size.** In fact, you can run the word Magnification way up, or way down, in size this way. The value in the little menu and the size of the word Magnification in the one NB cell change to various values; the rest of notebook doesn't change at all. At least that's what I'm seeing, right now . . . 3) OK, now shrink the Magnification word to 50% as above, leaving the rest of the NB at, say, 150% (though the little menu says 50%). Then select all cells; go to the Format >> Magnification menu; and select various values, say 100%, then 200%, etc. **The entire notebook changes to those new sizes -- including the word Magnification, which jumps into sync with rest of notebook and follows along through all size changes.** 4) Having done the preceding, leave the display at some new size; select all cells; then return to the little drop-down menu at the bottom of the NB window and try to further change NB magnification from there, as you had done earlier. Result: **The little magnification menu has now apparently ceased to function AT ALL: Neither the entire NB nor the word Magnification any longer change size (though the number in the menu field changes value appropriately).** ----- At this point, I give up . . .

With a third photo identified with a Bruderer in it, I thought I would make these photos available. From my understanding, the Bruderers were good friends of my grandparents, Norwood and Colleen (Andra) Jonas, when they lived in Richmond, Cache, Utah. When my grandparents moved to Burley, Cassia, Idaho in 1968 the friends did not see each other as much. Leonard and Donna (Andrus) Bruderer also eventually moved to Brigham City, Box Elder, Utah. Leonard and Donna also lived next door to my Great Grandma Lillian Coley Jonas (Edna's sister)(and across the street from the Dorney family).
I visited with Donna in 2007. She is an Andrus and her father is Gerald Andrus(1903-1984). Gerald married my Great Grand Aunt Edna Coley(1900-1983) on 17 April 1921 and had a son, Harold Christian Andrus(1921-1966). Harold is my cousin and is an Andrus although raised as a Neilson. Gerald and Edna were married less than a year or so and he remarried to Donna's mother, Ida Christena Smith, in 1923. Harold is Donna's half-brother and I called to visit with her more regarding Harold than the Bruderer line. I did mention I had a photo of Leonard and Donna from many years ago as well as a photo of their daughter Lola. Leonard Bruderer passed away in 2006 (born in 1922).

Is there something special about the AES key expansion algorithm that makes it secure, or it is a compromise between security and speed? For example, say with a key I expand it by taking pbkdf2(key) or scrypt(key) as the next round, and scrypt(scrypt(key)) as the round after that, until I have all of my subkeys. Would this be more or less secure than the standing key-generation method, and preferred in the case of having a machine which can perform them both in the same amount of time (impossible I know, but it's hypothetical).
Often I hear the key expansion is the weakest part of AES, but conflictingly that it was designed to prevent the use of "weak keys" which its predecessor suffered from.

A motorcyclist from the Devizes area died this morning after a head-on collision with a bus at Prison Bridge, Devizes.
Emergency services were called at 7.40am and the male motorcyclist was taken by land ambulance to the Royal United Hospital, Bath.
At first police described his injuries as life threatening but they later confirmed that he has died.
There were about six passengers on the bus but neither they or the bus driver were injured.
Diversions are in place via the A342 Dunkirk Hill and into Rowde and via the B3101 Marsh Lane linking to the A361 at Caen Hill, where traffic was having difficulty getting through.
Police say the A361 at Bath Road and Caen Hill in Devizes will remain closed until 12.30pm.

Onion prices have climbed sharply following a drought, a worry for the government as it heads into state elections that have been known to turn on the cost of the vegetable.
Prices have more than doubled in the last three months and no respite is in sight. Supplies remain tight as low rainfall has cut sowing and curtailed growth of individual bulbs.

Crisis mappers have used digital data to track beneficiary needs in real time and have collaborated with UN agencies and NGOs on various humanitarian initiatives. Additionally, images from satellites have helped humanitarians identify threats to civilians; have played a role in advocacy campaigns to raise public awareness about ongoing conflicts; and have been entered as evidence before several international courts and tribunals, including the International Court of Justice, the Inter-American Court of Human Rights, and the European Court of Justice.
While some practitioners highlight the benefits of the unprecedented level of information sharing facilitated by this technology, others warn of the challenges facing this emerging professional sector. In particular, analysts often offer conflicting interpretations of digital data, and various practitioners have expressed concern about the proliferation of flawed analyses. Some humanitarians have also cautioned that the publication of digital data could place civilians at risk by making information available to military actors. Such dilemmas have led to debates over how the humanitarian sector can most effectively harness the full potential of this technology while retaining a principled approach to humanitarianism.
In light of these complexities, this live web seminar will bring together expert practitioners to address the following questions:
- Have remote monitoring methods enhanced the humanitarian sector's capacity to engage in civilian protection?
- What measures can help practitioners reach an agreement on interpretive analysis and on key ethical issues, such as how decisions should be made about publicizing information that might place civilians at risk?
- Given the consensus-based nature of international humanitarian law, what legal and political complexities arise with the capacity to monitor situations from afar without a state's consent?

ISC reducing seating capacity at tracks to increase demand
Too many fans are waiting to buy tickets for NASCAR races, so International Speedway Corp. plans to continue its trend of decreasing seating capacity at its racetracks to create more demand.
The plan was announced by ISC officials Wednesday when discussing its recent financial results.
"It's the age-old supply-and-demand concept," ISC President John Saunders said during a conference call with financial analysts. "It's what we built this company on.
"We'll be talking on future calls about some capacity reductions with the idea of bringing a tremendous amount of sense of urgency back into the ticket-selling model so if you do get a negative weather forecast or rain for that matter, you've really hedged the risk."
At Talladega Superspeedway in May, the track's ticket sales were down 23 percent entering the week of the race, Saunders said. With an unfavorable weather forecast, the track didn't meet its ticket sales from a year ago.
Reducing seats is nothing new for ISC, a publicly traded company whose majority of stock is owned by the NASCAR-controlling France family.
ISC already has announced an overhaul of the grandstands at Daytona International Speedway. It will eliminate backstretch seating and increase the size of seats from 18 inches to 20-21 inches, which will decrease capacity from 147,000 to 101,000 (not including suites).
Only one other ISC track has more than 100,000 seats. Talladega, which has placed banners over thousands of seats, has a capacity of 108,000, not including suites.
Five years ago, Daytona had 168,000 seats and Talladega had 143,000.
Other ISC tracks also have decreased seating capacity by taking out sections and putting in larger seats.
ISC will target seating that doesn't include sightlines to pit road and the opportunity for fans to take advantage of prerace events and track amenities.
"There is simply too many seats in inventory at several facilities in our portfolio," Saunders said during the call to announce ISC's second-quarter earnings.
"The seats that we have today don't necessarily offer or project the best experience for our fans. … An engaged customer, one who understands the sport and has a good at-track experience is more likely to return."
Saunders stressed that there will be a range of ticket prices, including tickets for the Daytona 500 that are under $100.
ISC has seen its ticket revenue for races from January-May drop from $69.87 million in 2012 to $66.515 million in 2013.

When you hear the word "Tuscany", the first things that probably come to mind are Florence, Pisa and Chianti. But few of you might have heard of the Valdarno, an idyllic area between Florence and Arezzo that has inspired artists for centuries, even the likes of the great Renaissance Master Leonardo da Vinci.
My wife and I stayed at a charming boutique hotel, the Relais Villa Belpoggio in the Valdarno community of Loro Ciuffenna , perched on the slopes of the southern ridge of the Pratomagno.
Our first morning I had a delightful chat with the Villa's manager Maria Ventrone, and I told her that I was eager to know more about the Valdarno. Maria, a lively woman that is visibly enthusiastic about the surroundings, gave me extensive insights about this attractive province.
The Village of Loro Ciuffenna dates back to pre-Roman times, when it was an Etruscan settlement. Its appellation derives from the stream that runs through the town, the Ciuffenna, a name of obvious – to the scholar – Etruscan origins. Most of the town's heart is mediaeval in architecture, and one can still see the remains of a water-powered mill built prior to AD 1200. Relais Villa Belpoggio in Loro Ciuffenna is an ideal starting point to reach the famous cities of Tuscany or just roam through panoramic hillside roads.
What stroke me as a very fascinating story was that of the Balze of the Valdarno. Millions of years ago, in the Pliocene and Pleistocene periods, the Valdarno – or the Valley of the Arno River – was a large bowl formed by the movement of marine foundations subsequent to the development of the African and European continents. As in the case of Bryce Canyon in Utah, erosion has molded rare and interesting formations. Now, at the feet of the Chianti Mountains and the Pratomagno, bizarre, edgy pinnacles, the so called Balze or Calanchi, are still attracting numerous scholars and mystifying the unprepared onlooker.
"One of the most illustrious individuals who felt a tremendous attraction towards the Balze was Leonardo da Vinci," Maria explained to me. "Between 1502 and 1503 Leonardo was a military consultant for Duke Cesare Borgia – the notorious son of the Borgia Pope Alexander VI. He was commissioned by the Duke to map out the territory that Borgia had conquered for the papal state. Leonardo surveyed military fortifications, waterways and road networks, and thus became well acquainted with the topography of this area".
Scholars have debated for centuries if the backgrounds of some of Leonardo's painting were just a figment of his imagination or if they were real landscapes. Professor Carlo Starnazzi, a paleontologist at the University of Florence, and many others here in the Valdarno are convinced that some of those dreamy landscapes are in fact inspired by this region.
Take the most famous of the great Master's paintings, the Mona Lisa, which was painted between 1503 and 1507, that is after Leonardo's activity in the Arezzo region. The landscape in the background is illustrated by an odd cliffy land that resembles the Calanchi very much. Moreover, on the center-right end of the painting, more or less at the height of Mona Lisa's shoulder, one can distinguish an arched bridge.
For many experts, this bridge is none other than the Buriano bridge Ponte Buriano, built in approximately 1277 and a marvel of engineering of its time. The Buriano bridge, still open to traffic to this day, consists of seven distinctive arches and lies 6 km from the city of Arezzo: it is very reasonable to argue that Leonardo took careful notice of it while studying the area and placed it so gracefully in his masterpiece.
The Calanchi have also almost certainly inspired the background of Leonardo's Virgin of the Rocks. This holy scene, portrayed by the Master in two analogous paintings, one hosted at the Louvre in Paris (1483-1486 ) and one at the National Museum in London (1495-1508), is set in a hazy and hilly countryside. These cliffs are also very much like the spiky Balze of the Valdarno.
If all this wasn't enough to convince you, observe da Vinci's Madonna of the Yarnwinder (circa 1502), hosted in a private collection in New York. Not only you will notice jagged rocks similar to the Balze in the background, but, this time on the left side of the painting, there lies the Buriano bridge again.
If a genius like Leonardo was so intrigued by the Valdarno to quote it in his works, shouldn't we all better go to see it for ourselves? For some time, Italian authorities have been considering to make the Balze a protected area and promote tourism in this area. So far little has been done, and this fascinating Tuscan Monument Valley remains unknown to many. But maybe it's better like this: those who do visit the Valdarno will still witness an unspoiled and delightful site that may still retain some of the magic of Lenardo's time.
Awesome.I always believe that most of Leonardo paintings were indexed fictions of his imagination.I am charmed and excited with the beauty of Tuscan valley.

Unemployment insurance tax rates fall in 2014
Send a link to a friend
[January 13, 2014]
CHICAGO — Unemployment insurance
tax rates for most businesses will fall in 2014 as the state economy
improves and more people return to work, the Illinois Department of
Employment Security said last week. Employers who did not reduce
their workforce in 2013 typically will see the greatest savings.
"This is another example of why Illinois is an attractive place
for businesses looking to grow," said IDES Director Jay Rowell.
"Falling unemployment insurance rates means employers have more
money to hire additional workers."
Illinois' unemployment insurance taxes make up 0.7 percent of the
average employer's per-employee compensation cost — or seven-tenths
of 1 cent for each dollar paid. Unemployment insurance tax rates
generally are separated by business type, such as transportation and
warehousing or mining. Each of these nine types is lower in 2014.
Minimum and maximum tax rates also are established. In 2014, the
maximum tax rate of 8.0 percent is down from 8.4 percent. The
minimum rate of 0.0 percent is unchanged. Additionally, there is a
0.55 percent fund building rate all employers pay. Tax rates in 2014
are applied to the first $12,960 of wages.
Unemployment insurance taxes pay for benefits that workers
receive when they are laid off. In Illinois, the taxes support 26
weeks of unemployment benefits. Operational funding for IDES —
dollars used to pay salaries and utilities, for example — come from
federal funds through the U.S. Department of Labor, not from
unemployment insurance taxes nor from the state's general revenue
budget in Springfield.
[to top of second column]
Other factors are considered when calculating an employer's tax
rate, including the trust fund balance, the number of workers an
employer laid off and the economic climate of the past three years.
The long-standing formula allows better planning for employers and
eliminates steep, yearly movement in tax rates.
IDES is the state's employment agency. In addition to
administering the unemployment insurance program, it manages the
state's hiring board at
IllinoisJobLink.com. Job seekers can post multiple resumes to
highlight specific skills and target multiple jobs. Employers can
use word-search technology, veteran status and professional
licensure to find specific candidates and qualify for tax
incentives. There were more than 200,000 help-wanted online job
advertisements in November, 84 percent of which sought full-time
workers. Using
IllinoisJobLink.com to apply for these jobs can help maintain
eligibility for unemployment insurance.

Despite scoring the final 16 points of the game, the Central Connecticut women's basketball team fell to Mount St. Mary's by a score of 50-48 on Saturday afternoon. Junior Lauren Arbogast led the team with 18 points and 10 rebounds.
The Blue Devil (11-12, 5-7 NEC) offense started slowly in both halves with Mount (11-13, 7-6 NEC) opening the game with a 10-2 run. In the second half, the Mountaineers opened with a 6-2 run before head coach Beryl Piper called a time out to stop the momentum.
Unfortunately, Mount was able to put together another run and with 7:26 left in the game the Mountaineers held a 50-32 advantage, but that was the end of the Mount's scoring.
The CCSU defense clamped down and held the Mountaineers scoreless over the final 7:26 of the game. However, Central was not able to overtake the Mountaineers in the final minutes, despite a 16-0 run to close the game.
The Blue Devils had a chance to tie the game, but junior Jessica Babe's last second jumper bounced off the rim at the buzzer.
Arbogast scored six of CCSU's final 16 points with senior Jaclyn Babe, freshman TeJahne Malone and Jessica Babe also contributing to the scoring.
Jessica Babe had a strong statistical game with 10 points, six rebounds and three assists.
Arbogast finished with her second career double-double. Her 18 points came on 7-of-12 shooting from the floor and 4-of-4 from the free throw line.
As a team, Central shot just 53.3% (8-15) from the line. The Blue Devils were also 0-4 from behind the three-point arc.
The loss is the Blue Devils fifth in a row and CCSU is now 0-6 in NEC road games this season.
The Blue Devils return to action on Monday afternoon at Wagner. The game is scheduled to tip-off at 1 p.m.

If you're preparing to file your federal financial aid form or you just want an idea of what college costs, check out ACT's free financial aid need estimator at www.actstudent.org. The estimator can calculate both your expected family contribution and typical costs at specific colleges.
The calculator first provides you with an expected family contribution (the amount you and your family would be expected to pay toward your education). This amount is the same for all colleges. Next, the calculator estimates costs of attending specific colleges, and using your expected family contribution, estimates your eligibility for federal need-based financial aid. You may select as many colleges as you wish without reentering your personal information. Also, the financial aid estimator does not ask you to identify yourself, nor does it retain any of the information you enter.
The calculator does not provide official results, but because it uses the federal financial aid formula to calculate results, the estimates can help as you plan your college funding.

This picture may remind you of an alien landscape, but it's actually a look at our own planet from hundreds of miles above. NASA's Terra satellite captured this view of a 35-mile-wide (55-kilometer-wide) alluvial fan in China's Xinjiang Province in 2002.
The geological feature spreads across the desolate landscape between the Kunlun and Altun mountain ranges that form the southern border of the Taklimakan Desert. Terra's color-coded view shows water flowing down from the mountains along the left side of the fan. Vegetation appears in shades of red in the upper left corner. NASA says the lumpy-looking terrain at the top of the image consists of sand dunes at the edge of the Taklimakan, one of the largest sandy deserts on Earth.
This is one of the first images you'll see in "Earth as Art," a newly published 158-page book featuring satellite pictures of planet Earth. NASA is making the book freely available online in PDF format, but it can also be downloaded as an iPad app or purchased as a coffee-table book from the U.S. Government Printing Office's online store.
"Earth as Art" serves as a great kickoff for this year's Cosmic Log Space Advent Calendar, which highlights views of Earth from space. Every day from now until Dec. 25, we'll pass along a fresh image for you to enjoy. The idea takes its inspiration from a traditional Advent calendar, which lets kids count down to Christmas with a daily treat.
If one cosmic treat a day just isn't enough, you're in luck: The Hubble Space Telescope Advent Calendar has just started up over at The Atlantic's In Focus photo gallery, and Zooniverse is offering a cosmic Advent calendar as well. Feel free to fill your eyes, and your imagination, with all these non-fattening holiday goodies over the next 25 days.
