Can Mark Prior be This Season's Comeback Kid?
Some of the best stories in sports are the stories of comebacks. Most people are familiar with Josh Hamilton of the Texas Rangers, who was a highly touted prospect but fell victim to temptation and drugs. He worked as hard as he could and made it back to become one of MLB's best players.
If you are a football fan, David Tyree's name comes to mind. He was arrested and lost everything, becoming another athlete with a drug addiction. Yet he exorcised his demons and eventually had the huge "helmet catch" to help propel the New York Giants to a 17-14 Super Bowl victory in 2008 over the undefeated New England Patriots.
The so-called "rise up from the ashes" tale is one everyone enjoys – not just sports fans.
At 30, life in baseball has seemingly not yet begun for Mark Prior. Stemming back to his debut in 2002 with the Chicago Cubs, he has a history of injuries and he has never really been able to recover from them. You name it, Prior has been through it.
Hamstring injuries, Achilles injuries, shoulder surgery, elbow strains, a tweaked oblique, tendinitis – he has not had an easy career considering all these problems.
Although he has been hurt most of his career, he still holds a lifetime record of 42-29 with an ERA of 3.51, and he has fanned 757 lifetime batters. He was the second overall pick (in the first round) by the Cubs in the 2001 draft and he even made the National League All-Star team in 2003. That being said, he has the makings of a very good pitcher.
Now, if he can only find a way to translate it to his career without getting hurt.
Since leaving the Cubs after 2007, Prior has bounced around baseball. He tried to make it with the San Diego Padres, but never pitched a Major League game for them. He was released by the Padres in August of 2009 and in June of 2010 he went back to USC, where he had previously attended College.
He worked out for a Major League scout, but was deemed "just all right."
In September of last year Prior agreed to a deal with an independent team – the Orange County Flyers of the Golden Baseball League. Exactly a month after he had agreed to play for the Flyers, he signed a Minor League contract to pitch for the Texas Rangers. He made it clear that he wanted to pitch for a Major League club and hoped to catch on with the Rangers in a middle or long relief role.
Obviously he didn't get a roster spot on the Rangers, but that didn't mean he was giving up.
This past off-season the Yankees signed Prior to a Minor League deal. He has only pitched one inning this spring- a perfect frame against the Detroit Tigers on Monday March 1. He has also been working out with the team consistently and hopes to accomplish what he didn't with Texas – receive a spot in the bullpen as a middle or long reliever.
In a recent interview with the YES Network, Prior described his arm strength as "good" and stated that he needs to prove that he can stay healthy. One of his goals this spring is to show everyone what he is made of.
"I want to show everybody that I can stay healthy and I can still pitch," he told YES. "I know how to pitch. My stuff may not be what it used to be, but it's still good enough to get guys out at this level."
Prior added that he wants to get comfortable pitching in games.
At the trade deadline last season, the Yankees acquired Kerry Wood, who was Prior's teammate for five years on the Cubs. At one time the two were considered a "dynamic duo," if you will, being the Cubs' top tier starting pitchers. Like Prior, Wood sustained a number of injuries and analysts and fans questioned his ability to return from them and effectively pitch.
Wood proved to everyone that he can indeed still pitch, as he went 2-0 with a 0.69 ERA down the stretch for the Yankees. He was also instrumental in fortifying the Yankee bullpen, acting as the bridge to Mariano Rivera for the second half of 2010.
Prior was happy to see his former teammate succeed in pinstripes.
"I know Woody had a great time here, he really enjoyed himself here, and I think it revitalized him to continue on and keep playing," he said.
"He pitched outstanding the last two months of the season for the Yankees and hopefully I can do just as good a job as he did."
Everyone loves a comeback story. And this year Prior might be the guy the fans look at and say, "He's the guy who rose above; the guy no one believed in, but he proved us wrong."
The fans should be rooting for him. I am.

Exclusive preview: 1112 Episode 02 – Just when you thought it couldn't get any better…
A little over a year ago, while the App Store was void of even a single decent quality adventure game, a small independent developer called Agharta Studio released 1112 episode 01– the first adventure game to be exclusively developed from the ground up for the iPhone. The project came to fruition through the hard work of a small team led by Alexandre Leboucher and got high praise from critics all across the board (including an honorable mention in our The App Store's Best Adventure). It was stylish, beautifully drawn and had an original storyline and puzzles to back it all up.
Despite the original promise of a sequel in about 4 month's time, the team decided to take a little detour to make the excellent Rogue Planet, which messed up the schedule somewhat. Fastforward to April 20, 2010 – Alexandre has just informed me that the long awaited sequel has finally been submitted to Apple and graciously allowed me to take a full hands-on go with 1112 Episode 02. And here's how it looks.
First of all – I am NOT going to go into every nook and cranny – that I will do in the full review as soon as 1112 Episode 2 is officially out on the AppStore. I am going to give you a few teasers and highlights, especially compared to the first episode.
Speaking of which – there is no need to actually play  1112 episode 01 to get full enjoyment out of the sequel. All of the necessary backstory about the previous events is told in a handy intro sequence and you find yourself right where you left off before – in an unknown hotel room somewhere in New York. You can't remember how you got here, or where exactly HERE is. First things on the TO-DO list – find out what happened and finally get in touch with Goodman. The gameplay in this part is a bit more dialogue based than in the first part and to spice it all up, Agharta Studio added several minigame-like puzzles. Yes, be prepared for a little Sudoku and some wire-twisting.
The storyline in Episode 2 advances quite considerably, though by the end of it you'll still have no idea what's going on.  By the way, I'm being told that 6 episodes total have been laid out, which promises a consistency rarely found in sequels and the like. An interesting vibe I got when playing 1112 Episode 02 was one akin to watching the first season of LOST, arguably the best TV show of all time. The game sucks you in and constantly keeps you off balance with the events unfolding, and while it leaves you with more questions than answers, it feels natural and makes you hungry for more.
On the technical side the game is simply a massive improvement over Episode 1. The engine has been rewritten completely from scratch (which was the other fact responsible for the delay) and renders the beautiful hand-drawn scenes with music and sfx flawlessly even on the older iPhone 3G.
The interface also received a complete overhaul. Gone are the action buttons on the right – instead only a single small icon is present. With a tap and drag you can bring it down to reveal the same 3D backed inventory where you can take each and every item and spin it around to examine from all angles. One thing that got cut in the transition was the map – but I never thought it useful anyway. In the game scene, not only can you pan using a finger and zoom-in out using the pinch gesture, but scan around the area with a magnifying-glass-cursor that makes finding the active spots a cinch. And finally – you can do all of that at the same time (full multi-touch support – finally!).
What more is there to say?  1112 Episode 02 is a masterpiece – and once it is out it will definitely be the crown jewel of the 1st Person Adventure games on our App Store's Best list. On my personal list, it is one of the best adventure games I ever played and I can't wait for Episode 03 Coming Summer 2010 they say…

VICTORIA — The time has come for Canadians to discuss whether the country needs new laws to specifically combat the issue of cyber-bullying, Premier Christy Clark said Friday as she reacted to the suicide of Amanda Todd.
"I think we should have a national conversation about whether or not we should criminalize cyber-bullying," Clark said in an interview.
"That could be the right thing to do, because what it will do is it will make a very strong statement about where we stand as a society."
But Clark was quick to warn that any potential new laws are far from the only answer, and that the bigger solutions lie with parents, educators and other role models.
"That's the toughest thing that we need to recognize is bullying, and children committing suicide because they've been bullied, is entirely preventable," she said.
"But we as adults have to pay attention to it. We have to recognize when we see it happening, and then once we see it happening we have to address it properly," she added, saying her government has already begun trying to make improvements within the province's schools.
"I don't believe for a second that anyone who is bullied doesn't want to report the fact that they were bullied; they don't trust that the people to whom they'll report it will use the information in a way that's going to protect them," she said.
Clark said a large part of addressing this lies in helping educators to not only identify signs of bullying, but also to deal with it in a way that sends the right message.
"We tend to deal with bullying as though it's just another kind of dispute resolution," she said, adding authorities generally seek to have the two parties come together, and then for the bullies to apologize for what they've done.
"You can't do that with bullying because you're not talking about a dispute, you are talking about a perpetrator and a victim," she said.
"The perpetrator needs to be punished and the victim needs to be supported. That's the fundamental disconnect we have. That's part of what we want to make sure teachers know when we're educating them."
In June, Clark's government announced the ERASE bullying strategy, which included a five-year program to train 15,000 educators and community partners about issues like anti-bullying and risk assessment.
Clark said the province has issued a request for proposals to find the proper trainers, and hopes to move forward as quickly as possible.
"The experts know what to do. What we have to do is translate what the experts are telling us to the front lines of schools and that's what we're beginning to do with the ERASE bullying program."
Clark said the strategy also includes a smartphone app that will help kids report bullying anonymously. On Friday, she said she hopes to have the app launched by next month.
Meanwhile, Clark also called on parents to instil in their children the importance of standing up for those who are being bullied.
"We have to teach our children not to be bystanders. It's tough, and sometimes it feels like a very risky thing for a kid to step in between a bully and a victim and to stand up for the underdog like that, but bullies survive because nobody stops them," she said.
"When we raise our kids to be the one who's going to stand up for the underdog and when we make schools a place where that kind of behaviour is rewarded and welcomed, that's when bullying stops."

The Vickers Ruwolt Collection comprises over 1,700 glass plate negatives relating to production at the Vickers Ruwolt engineering works on Victoria Street Richmond, taken between 1915 and the late 1950s. It also includes a small selection of photographic prints, company publications and factory signage dating from the period between 1948 and 1986. The collection was donated to Museum Victoria by Vickers Ruwolt Pty Ltd between 1987 and 1989.
In 1902 the German-born and Australian educated engineer, Charles Ernest Ruwolt (1873-1946), opened an iron foundry and engineering works in Wangaratta for the purpose of manufacturing windmills and carrying out agricultural machinery repairs. By 1906, Ruwolt had diversified into repair work on bucket dredges and other gold mining equipment employed in the Ovens Valley, employing a workforce of 20 to 30. In 1908 Ruwolt merged his business with an engineering workshop in Bright owned by Isaac Stevenson, an experienced dredge engineer from New Zealand, and they commenced manufacturing complete gold and tin mining dredges. The firm was at this time registered under the title Charles Ruwolt Pty Ltd, with a working capital of £25,000, with Ruwolt and Stevenson as the principal shareholders.
In 1911, partially in response to a growing export demand for large tin mining dredges, Charles Ruwolt acquired a 10-acre site previously used for market gardens on the banks of the Yarra River in the Melbourne suburb of Richmond, with a view to relocating the company's manufacturing operations. Construction of engineering workshops, company offices and an iron and steel foundry commenced on the Richmond site in January 1912 and over the following few years all the firm's activties were progressively relocated to Richmond. By 1914, the registered office of Charles Ruwolt Pty Ltd had moved to Victoria Street, Richmond.
In November 1920, the firm was reorganised as a public company under the title Charles Ruwolt Proprietary Company Ltd. with a nominal captial £250,000, with additional shareholdings taken up two long-term employees Mr Arthur Irwin Beard and Mr Ellis H. Davies, and the founder's son Rupert Ruwolt, who also became directors. By 1922, the firm had began diversifying into heavy industrial work, producing road-making equipment, ore crushing machinery for the mining industry, brewing machinery and hydraulic presses for the emerging Australian car industry. By 1938, Ruwolts was one of the largest engineering companies in Australia, occupying 20 acres (8 hectares) and employing 600-700 workers. With the advent of the Second World War, the firm was deployed to manufacture field artillery and Charles Ruwolt held a senior position in the wartime administration of home-front resources.
Charles Ruwolt died in 1946 and by 1948 Vickers Limited (UK) had purchased the business, which then became Vickers Ruwolt Pty Limited. Later, Hoskins and HADWA, both companies in Perth, were purchased and a new public company, Vickers Australia Limited was formed. Vickers Ruwolt, a Division of Vickers Australia Limited, was over one-third owned by the Australian public and employed about 4,000 people around Australia. Between 1982 and 1983, the HADWA steel foundry in Perth and the Ruwolt steel foundry in Richmond were closed, and in 1985 it was decided to close the Ruwolt facility and move the heavy fabrication, machine and fitting factories to Karrabin, Queenland.
The material in the collection relates to the period from 1915 to the late 1960s, after the company had moved to Richmond and begun producing heavy industrial equipment. The images show the products produced by Ruwolt & Co, both in the factory and the field, and also depict the factory, its development and staff, during this period.

No, it's not a plotline from the first season of "Smash."
A massive statue of Marilyn Monroe has arrived in the desert resort city of Palm Springs.
The Los Angeles Times reports the 26-foot-tall, 34,000-pound statue arrived Monday morning.
U.S. & World
News from around the country and around the globe
Chamber of Commerce CEO Nona Watson says the statue of the "Some Like it Hot" star is still being assembled.
The sculpture depicts Monroe trying to push down her skirts as they're billowing in the wind from her memorable scene in the "Seven Year Itch."
The statue was created by 80-year-old artist Seward Johnson, an heir to the Johnson & Johnson fortune.
The artwork was previously in Chicago, and it took about a week and $40,000 to transport the statue.
The official ribbon cutting will be held May 24.

An Elegant Garden Wedding at Thomas Bennett House in Charleston, South Carolina
Hyer Images
Katie Morton (29 and a lawyer) and Derick Thranhardt (29 and an IT salesman) met during their last year of college through a common friend. Over the course of several years, law school, dating other people and a spontaneous trip to Costa Rica, their friendship slowly evolved into much more. Katie and Derick hosted an elegant garden wedding with a laid-back feel echoing the decor from the elaborate proposal that Derick had executed in their new home. "We knew at the end of the day we'd be just as married as we would if something went wrong with the planning, so that put us at ease," Katie says. Blooming white hydrangeas were used everywhere, navy linens covered the tables, and twinkling cafe lights illuminated the night under the clear-top tent. The lush gardens of Thomas Bennett House, lined with century-old oaks covered in billowing Spanish moss, offered Katie and Derick breathtaking decor for their garden ceremony and reception. Staying true to low-country Charleston, South Carolina, culture, the menu included an extensive raw bar while also including local seafood in paella. "The cake was pretty amazing," Katie says. "We had several flavors, including yellow almond with key lime mousse and graham cracker filling, strawberry pound cake with cream cheese filling and hummingbird, and the backup sheet cakes were banana chocolate chip and lemon with buttercream icing." Staying true to the classic color scheme, the bridesmaids wore navy blue J.Crew dresses and carried verdant bouquets of hydrangeas, while the men's boutonnieres of peach ranunculus elegantly contrasted their streamlined gray suits. Katie's chic lace fit-and-flare dress looked stunning and was comfortable enough for her to enjoy the big day. "For the last hour of the reception, we just cut a rug, and it was fabulous." —Juliette Cheatham

Sonnier was born the son of French-speaking sharecroppers near Rayne, LA. He was raised in extreme poverty, often working in the cotton fields with his parents. Sonnier began playing his much older brother's battered accordion at age three and was soon known as something of a Cajun-music prodigy. He first performed on the radio when he was six (on Crowley, LA, station KSIG) and was recording by 11. As a teenager Sonnier became a well-established Cajun musician, recording four albums and at least a dozen singles on regional Louisiana labels. (Some were reissued in 2000 on the Cajun Valentino album, whose title referred to Sonnier's billing at the time.) He moved to California in search of wider fame in the early '70s, landing session work and making friends among the Los Angeles music elite, and he seemed to have stardom within his grasp when he was signed to the Mercury label's Nashville division. Sonnier's Mercury releases attempted to make him into a Lousiana version of the wildly successful Freddy Fender, mixing his accordion with Nashville electric bass guitars and including French-language passages in some songs. Sonnier experienced little commercial success at the time, but his Mercury material continued to amass fans and was reissued in its entirety in 1992.
Meanwhile, Sonnier temporarily gave up on country music and returned to Lousiana, cutting the Grammy-nominated Cajun Life album for the Rounder label. Merle Haggard tapped Sonnier as an opening act in the early '80s, and renewed contacts with California musicians such as Albert Lee, who was then helping to spearhead Nashville's traditional-country revival as part of Emmylou Harris' Hot Band, led Sonnier to take another shot at recording in Nashville. Signed to RCA, he released the album Come On Joe in 1987. The album coincided with the crest of the late-'80s neo-traditionalist wave, and Sonnier soon was sharing country airwaves with the likes of Randy Travis as the album spawned two Top Ten singles, the ballad No More One More Time and a ferocious cover of British folkster Richard Thompson's Cajun-inspired Tear-Stained Letter.
Sonnier moved to Capitol in the early '90s, but the new trend toward country music rooted in '70s rock left him behind. Although his country career never really recovered, Sonnier remained in heavy demand as a Nashville session player. Sonnier appeared on recordings by Alan Jackson and Harris and went far beyond country music with guest slots on releases by Elvis Costello and Edie Brickell New Bohemians. He also had success as a songwriter; both Patty Loveless and George Strait recorded Sonnier's Blue Is Not a Word, and he consistently placed songs on albums by other artists in the late '80s and early '90s. Sonnier also dabbled in acting, appearing in the films #Mask, #They All Laughed, and #A Thing Called Love. Finally he returned to pure Cajun music and to the Rounder label, where he teamed with Beausoleil's Michael Doucet on several 1990s releases. A second Grammy nomination came Sonnier's way for the 1997 release Cajun Pride, and he joined fellow Louisianan Eddy Raven for the album Cookin' Cajun. Sonnier toured widely, performing at the New Orleans Jazz Festival and the Grand Ole Opry (in 1999) and visiting Europe and South America. His self-released album Cajun Blood won him a third Grammy nomination, one for the 2001 Best Traditional Folk Album award. By the early 2000s, Sonnier seemed to have found his niche: He was a true ambassador of French-descended Louisiana. ~ James Manheim, Rovi

Suarez treated like a 'dog', says upset granny
Uruguay striker Luis Suarez has been unfairly victimised in his "barbarous" expulsion from the World Cup for biting, according to his disconsolate grandmother.
"Everyone knows what they've done to Luis. They wanted him out of the World Cup. Perfect, they did it. They chucked him out of there like a dog," a sobbing Lila Piriz Da Rosa told Reuters from Suarez's birthtown Salto in north-west Uruguay.
Piriz, who has 22 grandchildren, said football authorities had been watching Suarez from the outset.
"This was on purpose," she said of the brilliant but volatile Suarez, who has been punished three times now for biting and once for racism.
Earlier on Thursday, FIFA suspended him from all football-related activity for four months and banned him from playing in Uruguay's next nine competitive games for biting Italian defender Giorgio Chiellini.
"They had their eyes on him to see what he does. It's barbarous what they've done to him," Piriz added.
Suarez, who had a tough and humble infancy in Salto some 500 kilometres from the capital Montevideo, wears his family affections on his sleeve and was flying home on Thursday.
He moved to Montevideo when he was six.
"I'm his granny and I love my boy loads!" Piriz said. "Please don't ask me any more."
About 500 fans gathered outside Montevideo's Carrasco international airport to express solidarity with Suarez and chant his name. Some had been waiting for hours, waving Uruguay flags, posters of Suarez and replicas of the World Cup trophy.
Airport authorities said, however, that he was to be whisked out privately and to his home in the coastal resort of Solymar, about 40 kilometres outside Montevideo.

|Me, sister, and grandma Piggott
Boy do I love raspberries. Especially grandma's home grown ones. Not only did I love them with milk and sugar, but there's nothing like grandma's canned raspberries. Sometimes she would let us pick them. And then there were the times I picked them and they went straight into my mouth. I sure would love to have a bowl right now.
You're probably wondering why we were all dressed up. It was a Sunday so we just got back from church. The upside down date on the top tells me that my baby brother was blessed that day. That would also explain why grandma Piggott was at grandma Smedley's.
I kind of liked the wagon wheels too. Would love to have them in my yard now. I wonder what ever happened to them.

See if you recognize this story: A small group of academics and analysts come together to propose reforms to the U.S. health care system.
They want to help workers, the elderly, the poor, and others whose needs aren't being met. But instead of working with those groups, they try to gain the acceptance of industries whose interests are threatened. Popular movements have no sense of ownership, doubt that the plan will work, and offer little support. The health care industry mobilizes against the plan, calling it socialist, and it never becomes law.
Flashing back to the Clinton bill of 1993? Predicting how the Obama plan will turn out? Actually, I was describing a proposal made in 1915. Though favorably reviewed by congressional and state commissions, the proposal's only partial legislative success was in New York, where protesting women suffragists and trade unionists had added it to their demands. Elsewhere, the reformers' emphasis on lobbying and research alone couldn't build the necessary momentum. Meanwhile, insurance companies, conservative politicians, and business and physicians' organizations derided the proposal and compared it to Bolshevism.
For the rest of the century, health care reform efforts—one led by the Committee on the Cost of Health Care in the 1920s, the short-lived inclusion of health coverage in the New Deal, the Wagner-Murray-Dingall bill of the Truman era, and, of course, the Clinton plan—followed the same storyline.
In each case, says historian Beatrix Hoffman, "the relentless opposition of medical, business, and insurance interests pushed reformers to design health care proposals around placating their opponents more than winning popular support. In turn, ordinary people had trouble rallying around complex proposals [that didn't recognize] a universal right to health care."
The root of the problem, Hoffman says, was that the proposals came from elites who sought to compromise with interest groups, where they believed real power lay, rather than to ally with grassroots movements. Reformers gave up too soon-folding to entrenched interests before assessing the strength of their own hands. They failed to enlist the support of the majority of Americans who favored public health care, just as they failed to unite the diverse, already mobilized social movements—like those for civil and women's rights, organized labor, or, later, for AIDS and cancer funding—that considered it a worthy, but politically unlikely, goal.
This same dynamic still operates today. Reformers and opponents alike have treated this latest attempt as a political game—what concessions can (or should) be squeezed from powerful industries?—rather than as the righting of an injustice that concerns us all.
Our failure to reframe the issue is part of the reason that, though we've been at it since 1915, we're the only industrialized nation without universal access to health care.
But this time, we may have a chance to transform the debate. The broad, committed, grassroots movement that was missing before is beginning to take its rightful place in the equation: marching in the streets, petitioning Congress for real solutions, and mobilizing to debunk the myths spread by industry.
Still, we can only get so far unless we learn from past failures. A plan that ignores the demands of the people in favor of industry (say, by leaving a single-payer system off the table) runs the risk of losing that crucial grassroots support. The belief that health care is a human right and ought to be universally accessible in a country as rich as ours is not just a good idea in itself. It's a powerful rallying cry, necessary for achieving the sustained grassroots momentum we need to succeed this time around.

BestBuy now lists the Nikon D800 as available for order, but not available for shipping (it was listed as "sold out online" yesterday). You can check the "Shipping & Availability" link for the stores in your area where you can pick up the camera after purchasing it online. All stores in my area did not have any in stock, but you may get lucky. I believe the second shipment of D800 cameras is now hitting US stores - several non-NPS readers have already reported receiving their camera in the past few days. BestBuy doesn't keep a pre-order list, so there is a good chance that you may find one.
The Nikon D4 is still listed as "sold out online" but some readers were able to purchase it from BestBuy's website few days ago.

Tops Debunks Nutrition Myths
Folklore and food lore often get mixed into a goulash of advice on nutrition. Well-meant advice covers when and what to eat, but it can be difficult to sort out the facts.
Just in time for March, which is National Nutrition Month, here are some food myths to chew on from TOPS Club, Inc. (Take Off Pounds Sensibly), provided by Joan Pleuss, R.D., C.D.E., M.S., C.D., Senior Research Dietitian in the General Clinical Research Center at the Medical College of Wisconsin.
· Don't eat between meals.
False - Eating four to five meals and snacks helps healthy eaters control their appetites, according to numerous studies. The total calories must be stay within the range for the eating plan, however.
· Don't eat before bedtime.
False - Again, it's the total number of calories that matter, not when those calories are consumed.
· Breakfast should never be skipped.
True - Studies have shown that eating breakfast decreases the likelihood that you will overeat later in the day. Breakfast also increases overall energy and helps your brain concentrate, solve problems, and remember facts better.
· Protein should be a part of meals and snacks.
True - Lean meat, yogurt, cheese, nuts, and beans are all great proteins that will help keep healthy eaters feeling full longer.
· It's better to graze than eat three square meals a day.
True - Six mini-meals eaten throughout the day can effectively keep you satisfied. The foods selected should be healthy and the total amount of calories should not exceed the amount needed to maintain or lose weight.
· There are some foods that should be eaten every day.
True - You should include food from all the TOPS Exchange groups every day. In the Milk Exchange group, yogurt plays a role in bone health and strengthens the immune system. In the Vegetables Exchange group, spinach, kale, bok choy, and romaine are great sources of nutrients helpful for bones, heart, and eyes. Tomatoes decrease the risk of certain cancers and heart disease. Carrots, sweet potatoes, winter squash, and yellow bell peppers are wonderful sources of carotenoids, which fight cancer. Fruits such as blueberries, strawberries, purple grapes, and raisins contain many antioxidants to help prevent memory changes as we age and also to help prevent cancer, diabetes, and heart disease. Meat Exchanges such as dried peas and beans contain antioxidants that may improve brain and heart function. Grains, including oats, quinoa, and wild rice, lower the risk of heart disease. Heart-healthy fats can come from walnuts, almonds, peanuts, pistachios, and flaxseed.
· Skipping meals will help you lose weight.
False - Skipping meals actually may have the opposite effect. Studies have found that people who skip meals during the day tend to be heavier than people who eat the right foods four or five times a day. When you skip a meal, you may be slowing down your body's metabolism – thus, making your body require fewer calories and converting extra calories to fat.
TOPS Club, Inc. (Take Off Pounds Sensibly), the original, nonprofit weight-loss education and support organization, was founded more than 60 years ago to champion weight-loss support and success. Founded and headquartered in Milwaukee, Wis., TOPS promotes successful weight management with a philosophy that combines healthy eating, regular exercise, wellness education, and support from others at weekly chapter meetings. TOPS has about 170,000 members in nearly 10,000 chapters throughout the United States and Canada, and several chapters in Europe.
Visitors are welcome to attend their first TOPS meeting free of charge. To find a local chapter, view www.tops.org or call (800) 932-8677 for more information.

I don't think I would want to be doing multi row and column panos manually.
Have you every shot a multi row pano manually ? It sounds like your GP is the only way you've ever shot.It's so simple and there are advantages to working manually.
Hi Abe,I don't think that I would need anything more than a tripod for only 3-4 shots, but if you want to make very large prints at high resolution then the gigapan might be worth looking at. Set-up is easy and if you are only using one camera with the epic 100 then it is a one time thing for set-up/calibration. Instructions are here. When I start a new pano just mount the epic 100 on a sturdy tripod and level the device with camera mounted on the unit. Check camera alignment when attaching. Turn on camera, set fixed ISO, WB, exposure, and focus. If you are using a very slow shutter speed you could also set the 2 sec selftimer for shutter release. If you do make sure that your preset processing time in the epic 100 is adjusted to account for this. Turn on the epic 100, and when "New Panorama" appears on screen press OK, go through the checklist that pops up, using the directional arrow buttons direct the camera to the scene area that you want as the upper left corner of your pano (using LCD live view), next do the same for lower right corner, you will see info on pano dimensions and number of shots, press OK and let the epic 100 do its' thing. After a shoot I just dump the sd card files to a folder on my computer, batch them through SPP with preset WB, color mode, etc. and output 16 bit tifs to another folder. Open AutoPano Pro, point it to the output folder, it will find and organize all of your pano files (can be for just one or several panos), present previews for each pano, and then you have the option to either edit or render the panos for your desired output. Quick, easy, and good quality.Have fun,Carl
Hello Carl,I would like to know you said that you use AutoPano Pro, whats your reason you chose this over PTgui and others?Already got the Epic 100 waiting to arrive is the plate for the Epic from RRS, should arrive today and will try it on Sunday, will try to post some examples some NYC skylines.Just finished preparing my PC to handle the huge files, fitted with 24GB of RAM which on a Win 7 Pro 16GB is usable the rest is allocated for something which I don't know, still trying to figure out why and how can make use of all the ram without massing up the whole system which happened.Thank you for your guidanceAbe
Hello,Here is my first samples of the DP3
I continue to be absolutely astounded by the detail rendering of these little bricks.Here's a link to a full size image: http://rsadams.smugmug.com/Other/Fine-Art-Photos/i-vzc5Dwh/0/O/_SDI0110.jpg
you should shoot in raw, it will look even sharper.
What makes you think I don't shoot RAW? These are uploads to SmugMug. I shoot RAW to Sigma SPP to 16 bitt tiff to LR5 to "publish to" SmugMug for net display. Rand

The A's have traded Matt Holliday and $1-1.5 million to the Cardinals for three prospects. The Phillies are the reputed front-runners for Roy Halladay. Even the Rockies made a trade. If the Phillies trade goes down, that will mean teams in every NL division will have made a concerted effort to catch the major league-best Dodgers.
But does this necessarily mean that Ned Colletti has to make a trade to keep ahead of the competition? Maybe the perception of the Dodgers standing pat may work against them in the media and those damn blogs, but perception doesn't win games. Let's hope Colletti has learned from his past mistakes and doesn't make a trade for the sake of making a trade.

2016 AOTY – Day 3
Welcome to the 2016 Artists of the Year blog posts. It's year two for us at LOOKSLIKEFILM and we had another amazing year. We also held our first LOOKSLIKEFILM workshop, the CHOO CHOO Camp, in beautiful New York City, which was an absolute success! However, the best part of 2016 was all of you! Our community of artists continues to blow us away everyday with not only your love and support, but your amazing imagery.
This year we have over 500 images that received over 1000 likes in our Facebook Groups, the LOOKSLIKEFILM Group and the VSCO Film Users Group. In comparison, last year we had 93 images that made the #LLF1000CLUB. This tells me that not only is our community growing, but everyone is really pushing their limits and shooting outside the box.
Since we had so many amazing images this year make the #LLF1000CLUB, we are having 5 Days of Artists of the Year posts. We hope you enjoy these images and we wish everyone a happy and healthy 2017. May you continue to grow and strive to be the very best you can be. Keep pushing those limits. We can't wait to show you what we have in store for 2017. It's going to be epic!
From all the staff at LOOKSLIKEFILM. We love you all and CHOO CHOOOOO!

Here is my card for the challenge.
The challenge is to use one of the original 8 stamps (Charlotte with a Rose, Cocktail Emily, Cupcake Ruby, Lantern Rin, Scooter Chloe, Surfing Oliver, Swimming Lucy, Turntable Josh) for your cards. This challenge will run all month and the winner of this challenge will receive the ENTIRE August release. How cool is that? Can't wait to see what you make for this challenge!
I used the beautiful Charlotte with a Rose for my card. She is definitely one of my all time favorites. I know her apron and headscarf my look "dirty," but they are really intended to be light grey-ish. =) She is stamped on PTI's Stamper's Select White cardstock. The image is then colored with Copic markers before I cut and embossed it using a Labels 18 die.
I then masked Charlotte using this masking paper and stamped Hero Arts Friend Definition over the piece. The whole piece is then inked with antique linen distress ink. The patterned paper is from Out of Print collection by BasicGrey, I can only tell you that this collection is a must have! Yummy! =) The heart tag and sentiment are from Tiny Tags by Papertrey Ink.
That's it for now. Please check out what the other design team members came up with for this challenge and find out all the details for the challenge here.

Since its birth in Southern California more than 40 years ago, bicycle motocross (BMX) has attracted millions of riders and fans the world over.
From the makeshift dirt-lot tracks of the late 1960s and early '70s to the professional circuits and Olympic competition of today, the sport took a relatively brisk route to legitimacy and ubiquity.
The appeal is plain to see. After exploding from a gate on an elevated ramp, up to eight riders barrel through a series of hills, jumps, banked turns and bumps on an enclosed dirt track, all the while pumping for more speed and angling for the best line. A typical race lasts 30 to 40 seconds and is, at an elite level, a breathless display of courage and athleticism.
Doss High Talent
In Louisville, the nationally regarded track at E.P. "Tom†Sawyer State Park serves as a locus for the area's BMX scene and it's there – for three hours a day nearly every day of the week – that you will find 16-year-old Spencer Renck.
The junior-to-be at Doss High School has emerged this season as one of the area's top talents after a long-term hiatus from regular competition. Now Renck is aiming for his first expert-level win.
"He is one of the strongest riders in the metro Louisville area (and)…probably the fastest 16-expert in Kentucky,†said Weston Pope, a local pro who has trained Renck at weekly clinics this summer.
Started at two!
Renck's start in the sport came early when, at age two, he jettisoned his training wheels and began navigating the "rhythm section†of small bumps on the backstretch at Tom Sawyer. A year later he entered his first race.
Steve Butler, co-manager of the Addison Bikes team that sponsors Renck, remembered an impressive youngster.
"When he was at eight, nine and 10 he was at the top of his game,†said Butler, who is also a board member for Derby City BMX, a local body that organizes clinics and races. "I think he kind of got burnt out or drifted away.â€
Renck did drift away. For reasons he can't recall, he dropped the sport altogether and focused instead on baseball, basketball, football and soccer.
The itch to race returned a couple of years later, though, and in his first event back, he finished sixth at Grand Nationals in 2007. Encouraged by the strong showing, he planned to re-commit to the sport, but just a few months later his father, Craig Renck, was diagnosed with brain cancer.
A standout rider himself, the elder Renck had introduced Spencer to the sport and was a close friend, coach and role model. After an 18-month fight, Craig passed away at 47.
Spencer was devastated and BMX took a backseat as he and his mother, Kathie, tried to move forward.
Now three years later, Renck is back on the bike and said it has brought him closer to his late father.
"I'll be riding by myself and…I'll kind of see my dad's face. You get this feeling that he's there with me, and I believe he is,†Renck said.
What a rally!
In his first race back, Renck was placed among novice riders at a regional event in Dayton, Ohio. After advancing to the main event, he lost his balance and fell before the starting gate dropped.
For most riders a botched start puts them immediately out of contention, but Renck's substantial natural ability came to the fore as he gathered himself and darted from the back of the pack to the front, to win by a bike-length.
Only five months into his return, the upbeat kid with permanently scabbed elbows and knees has already risen from novice to expert, a progression in proficiency that typically takes years.
"This time next year you'll see him on the podium. He has that drive,†said Butler.
Renck's daily training regimen emphasizes snapping out of the gate, passing skills and jump work, as well as uphill sprinting and occasional mountain biking to increase endurance.
Although he admittedly has a long way to go, Renck is committed to one day turning pro.

2013 Revison of the Declaration of Helsinki
October 20, 2013
by Pamela Katz Ressler, MS, RN, HN-BC, faculty, Pain Research, Education and Policy Program (PREP), Tufts University School of Medicine
In 1964, the Declaration of Helsinki ushered in a new paradigm of thinking about medical ethics and research worldwide. Since that time there have been seven revisions of the original Declaration of Helsinki, the most recent one being released this week by the World Medical Association. In the past 50 years healthcare has undergone a myriad of changes, including additional checks and balances for patient protection, such as informed consent and hospital ethics committees: the Declaration of Helsinki has been instrumental in helping to increase awareness of the importance of ethic principles in relation to patients and human research participants. As a living document, there will undoubtedly be continued revisions of the Declaration of Helsinki in years to come. It is important to realize that as far as we have come in the past 50 years, building awareness of ethics in patient care and human subject research, there is still much work to be done locally, nationally and globally.
Click here to read the newly released 2013 Declaration of Helsinki. Are there additional areas that you would amend or revise ?

I went to the movies on the upper west side yesterday afternoon and stopped into the big Barnes and Noble at Lincoln Center. It was the final day of business for B&N at that location. Depressing. Then I walked uptown on Broadway and at 72nd street, I found this treasure trove:
Hot dog.
…and Happy New Year.

A unique post-season basketball game at the DeVos Fieldhouse on Wednesday, April 13, will be among the highlights of Disability Awareness Week at Hope College.
The Grand Rapids Pacers wheelchair basketball team will challenge a co-ed team featuring members of the Hope men's and women's basketball teams beginning at 7 p.m.
The public is invited. Admission is free.
The Hope players will be occupying wheelchairs with brief instructions on techniques and differences in rules from what they are accustomed. Although the Flying Dutch and Flying Dutchmen both advanced to the second round of NCAA Division III regional play this year and will have the homecourt advantage, the Disability Awareness Week coordinator notes that she gives the edge to the Pacers.
"The things they they do and how well they play -- it's a lot like having the Globetrotters come," said Louise Schumaker, who is director of disability services at Hope.
The Pacers will be making their third appearance at Hope in conjunction with the week. Their last time at Hope was 2008.
Schumaker is glad for the return engagement.
"We appreciate being able to bring really good people in to have an impact in a fun way," she said, "to build awareness of how much somebody who's sitting in a wheelchair can do with an athletic event -- that's a really big thing."

Four years ago tonight I decided to start Big Reading Life. I didn't know what I wanted to do here other than write about books and hopefully connect with other passionate readers. I didn't know if anyone would ever read my blog, let alone comment. It's been a wonderful experience these past four years! I can't express how much joy you all have given me simply by reading my posts and reaching out to me. It's so fun to know I have blog friends all over the globe.
At times this year I've wondered if I had anything left worth saying here. But I think I've turned the corner on that and have found my spark again! I'm excited about my reading plans and goals for the new year and can't wait to go on bookish adventures with you all.
To everyone who has read anything I've written here, and especially to those that comment, thank you. Let's keep having fun and reading good books in 2019! Happy New Year!

The first review for my new book, Exporting American Dreams: Thurgood Marshall's African Journey, is just out from Publishers Weekly. Here's what they have to say:
While Marshall is best known for his pivotal role during Brown v. Board of Education and his appointment to the Supreme Court, Dudziak (Cold War Civil Rights) recovers a nearly buried undertaking, "one of the great adventures of his life": Marshall's contributions to the Kenyan Bill of Rights. Marshall arrived in London in January 1960; a month later, the Greensboro, N.C., sit-in began, and Marshall found himself "torn between two continents and two movements." The author effectively sketches those events in the civil rights movement (civil disobedience, urban riots, Black Power) and in Kenya (President Kenyatta's early moderation and subsequent mistreatment of the Asian minority and suppression of opposition) that supported and undermined Marshall's "faith in the law as a vehicle for social change." The tensions between Marshall's desire for equal rights and Kenyatta's priorities of "sovereignty and national unity" are still heartbreakingly unresolved, as are Marshall's great hope for the "entrenchment in Kenya of the rights he still hoped for in America." Dudziak's clarity and careful documentation make her book accessible to the general reader and a valuable tool for African and African-American studies.
Here's the book description:
Thurgood Marshall became a living icon of civil rights when he argued Brown v. Board of Education before the Supreme Court in 1954. Six years later, he was at a crossroads. A rising generation of activists were making sit-ins and demonstrations rather than lawsuits the hallmark of the civil rights movement. What role, he wondered, could he now play? When in 1960 Kenyan independence leaders asked him to help write their constitution, Marshall threw himself into their cause. Here was a new arena in which law might serve as the tool with which to forge a just society.
In Exporting American Dreams , Mary Dudziak recounts with poignancy and power the untold story of Marshall's journey to Africa. African Americans were enslaved when the U.S. constitution was written. In Kenya, Marshall could become something that had not existed in his own country: a black man helping to found a nation. He became friends with Kenyan leaders Tom Mboya and Jomo Kenyatta, serving as advisor to the Kenyans, who needed to demonstrate to Great Britain and to the world that they would treat minority races (whites and Asians) fairly once Africans took power. He crafted a bill of rights, aiding constitutional negotiations that helped enable peaceful regime change, rather than violent resistance.
Marshall's involvement with Kenya's foundation affirmed his faith in law, while also forcing him to understand how the struggle for justice could be compromised by the imperatives of sovereignty. Marshall's beliefs were most sorely tested later in the decade when he became a Supreme Court Justice, even as American cities erupted in flames and civil rights progress stalled. Kenya's first attempt at democracy faltered, but Marshall's African journey remained a cherished memory of a time and a place when all things seemed possible.
And the blurbs:
"Dudziak brings out with impressive clarity how Thurgood Marshall's greatness stemmed from his Whitman-esque ability to contain multitudes: committed to the rule of law, he could chide Kenya's new leadership for departing even slightly from it, work for justice in segregated America, and sustain a relationship with young civil rights activists taking direct and 'illegal' action in the early 1960s."--Mark Tushnet, Harvard Law School and author of Making Civil Rights Law: Thurgood Marshall and the Supreme Court, 1956-1961
"In this gem of a book, Mary Dudziak brings vividly to life the important but little known history of Thurgood Marshall's intense involvement with Kenya during its journey toward independence in the 1960s. This great champion of the American civil rights struggle never relinquished his hope that democracy and equality would one day flourish in Kenya, even as he became painfully aware of the obstacles that stood in the path of this dream. A powerful and poignant story, beautifully told."--Gary Gerstle, Vanderbilt University and author of American Crucible: Race and Nation in the Twentieth Century
"By dint of creative and exhaustive research, Mary Dudziak has written an excellent book about a facet of Thurgood Marshall's career that has never before received substantial attention. Who knew that 'Mr. Civil Rights' contributed significantly to African as well as American legal systems. All students of this great man's life owe a major debt to Professor Dudziak's labors."--Randall Kennedy, Harvard Law School and author of Sellout: The Politics of Racial Betrayal
The publication date for the book is July, but it should be available soon.

KSP News:
KSP Gran Canaria canceled
After extending the deadline several times in hope of a positive outcome, the KSP today took the hard decision to cancel the KSP event scheduled for Gran Canaria/Canary Islands at the end of this month.
This comes off the back of last months Portugal event being cancelled and is further evidence that the global economic crunch is hurting Europe more then anywhere during 2013.
KSP World Tour manager Terry Mckenna describes the turn of events: "KSP are bitterly disappointed that the first two events of the year have fallen over after such a promising outlook to 2013. I have been at the helm of boardsports for almost a decade and this is the biggest instability in the global arena that I have ever seen, non more so then Europe which is really feeling the pinch worse then anywhere."
"We have had a lot of positive talks with new potential events and in general the sport is moving forward, but the reality is that the KSP is only in its third year and compared to other sports is still in its infancy and dealing with teething problems that other more established tours already have behind them" said Mckenna.
The KSP will continue to work hard behind the scenes to confirm remaining events and develop new relationships with promoters worldwide.

We'll get into Roger Clemens more a little bit later — because we know you can just never get enough Roger Clemens and steroids talk, obviously — but we wanted to take a moment to salute Peter Gammons, everyone's favorite Andrew Jackson-impersonating, hard-rockin' baseball reporter.
Apparently, Gammons played at a charity concert the other night and performed a song he wrote about the Mitchell Report and steroids. A tasty excerpt:
Then one day I got a call from Mitchell's henchmen
Seems my name showed up where it shouldn't have been
Now I'm back at the Wal-Mart working midnight to nine
Playing beer league softball in lieu of ten years time
In lieu of ten years time
The Steroid Blues! We love it. Also at the concert: Bronson Arroyo, who took the opportunity to once again beg his way back to Boston. Reds fans have to just love that.
