Tristan White, 4, and Avery Stately, 2, were reported missing Nov. 22 after they went out to play. Searchers from the reservation, located in for northern Minnesota, were joined by volunteers from across the state. But their efforts were futile until Sunday morning, when a volunteer rescue squad from St. Louis County, which included a half-dozen searchers and three dogs found the bodies encased in ice in First Thunder's Lake, about a half-mile from the boys' home, said FBI special agent-in-charge Ralph Boelter. "Today, our worst fears were confirmed," Boelter said at a news conference in Minneapolis on Sunday night. He also said that there has been no determination yet whether foul play was involved. Autopsies are pending. "We're deeply saddened and heartbroken," said Tribal Chairman Floyd (Buck) Jourdain, Jr. "So many people were hoping for a safe return back to their family," Jourdain continued late Sunday. "Unfortunately, we didn't get the result we were hoping for. It is a sad day." The lake was initially searched by divers in November as part of an intense search just days after they vanished. The official search was called off after five days, but some continued looking in and around the area including roadsides, farmland and cabins. On Sunday, dogs picked up a scent on the southern part of the lake and the boys were found partially floating in the northern part of the lake near a beaver dam, Boetler said. The boys' identification was confirmed based on the clothes found on the bodies. Jourdain said that a series of small lakes near the boys' home were frozen and couldn't be searched thoroughly last fall but had begun to thaw and were a priority area for searchers. 'Just playing outside' Tristan and Avery had been playing outside their family's house Nov. 22 in the woodsy Walking Shield neighborhood when they disappeared between 9:30 and 9:50 a.m. "They were just playing outside," their mother, Alicia White, said plaintively at a news conference Nov. 25, pleading for the public's help. "That's the last I saw them." Searchers combed area Within hours, hundreds of volunteers were combing the rough, bramble-filled woods surrounding the family's home. Aircraft with heat-sensing equipment and unmanned aerial vehicles were also used. At the time, Jourdain said there was "nothing to indicate the children have been abducted - no evidence that someone pushed them into a car or something," but neither tribal nor federal authorities were ruling out any explanation. "They're so young, so small, you wouldn't think they'd get very far on their own," he said. "We've looked high and low, but we can't find them." He recalled on Sunday how divers looked in the water repeatedly for the boys. "There's a lot of mud and weeds down there," Jourdain said. "So, it's not unimaginable that they would sink, get entangled or stuck in the mud." In her tearful meeting with reporters on Nov. 24, Alicia White described Tristan as an adventuresome boy who loved water and sometimes wandered off when the family lived in Redby, another community on the reservation. "But we always found him," she said then. "This is the first time we didn't find him. Avery, she said "just follows his brother. [He is] the sweetest little boy, just lovey-dovey." As the search continued that weekend nighttime temperatures fell below freezing. Some reservation residents, still shaken by the Red Lake High School shootings of March 2005, reported they were having trouble sleeping. Parents suspected abduction Tribal elders offered prayers to guide the searchers, who waved smoke from a wood fire over themselves as the started out Psychics and shamans also weighed in, Jourdain said. When a month had passed with no sign ofthe boys, their mother admitted fearing the worst "I think somebody picked them up," she said in a Star Tribune interview Dec. 22. "I think all the people looking would have found something. And the bloodhounds didn't pick up any scent" leading into the woods. "The dogs stopped at the road and that was it." Still, she held onto enough hope to buy Christmas presents for the boys. "Toy cars, their favorite," she said. Jeff Stately, Avery's father, also said in December that he believed the boys were abducted. BOYS to page 5 VOICE OF THE PEOPLE Indian plaintiffs voice objections to Interior trust settlement By Mary Clare Jalonick Associated Press WASHINGTON - The lead plaintiff in a decade-old Indian trust lawsuit told Congress Thursday that an Interior Department attempt to settle the suit is a "slap in the face." Senate Indian Affairs Committee Chairman Byron Dorgan, D- N.D., said his committee will continue to try and help resolve the conflict. At issue is a lawsuit by American Indians against the government claiming that the Interior Department has mismanaged more than $100 billion in oil, gas, timber and other royalties from their lands held in trust dating back to 1887. Earlier this month, the government proposed paying $7 billion partly to settle the lawsuits. The litigation, filed in 1996 by Blackfeet Indian Elouise Cobell of Browning, Mont., deals with individual Indians' lands. Several tribes have sued separately, claiming mismanagement of their lands. "We, of course, will work to ensure that Interior's truly diabolical scheme fails," Cobell said in written testimony before the Indian Affairs Committee Thursday. "And that is why vigorous litigation will continue unless an alternative fair resolution can be reached." Interior Secretary Dirk Kempthorne defended the proposal at the hearing, saying money spent on the lawsuit could be better used elsewhere in Indian Country. "For the first time ever, the administration has put a dollar figure on the table," Kempthorne said. Under the terms of the settlement offer, the government would pay $7 billion over 10 years, without interest. In exchange for the money, all tribal and individual mismanagement claims against the government would be dropped and the government would be relieved of future liability. The proposal would also end, over a period of 10 years, most of the government's responsibilities, to manage Indian trust lands and would consolidate ownership of Indian lands, which are now often held by many people. Roughly half of the $7 billion would go toward settling individual and tribal claims, with the remainder covering other parts ofthe proposal. Cobell said the government is trying to do too much at once and objected to the inclusion of the individual and tribal suits in the same settlement Dorgan appeared to agree, asking Kempthorne whether the administration would consider a settlement just involving the individual claims. "It would be our hope and our intent" to find a solution for all of the claims together, Kempthorne said. John Bickerman, a mediator in the case, testified that the amount owed to the Indians in the Cobell lawsuit alone is probably an estimated $7 billion to $9 billion. He urged Congress to find a solution. 'Shinobs' lose in the State High School Basketball finals by one point! By Vincent Hill Minneapolis - Ellsworth 74, Cass Lake-Bena 73 The Cass Lake-Bena 'Shinob' Panthers (gaazhagensag) from a small town in northern Minnesota (and next to the large Leech Lake Chippewa Indian Reservation) made basketball history by making it to the Minnesota State High School finals in the IA Classification, this last Saturday at the Target Center in Mpls. The Panthers had been scoring 100+ in games prior to the tournament playoffs; in the finals, Cass Lake-Bena vs. Ellsworth, the small schools racked up the highest points. At half-time, the Cass Lake-Bena Panthers led 37 to 35. I thought the 'Shinob' High School team was superior to Ellsworth, it being a very small Senior High School of 47 in southwest Minnesota, next to the Iowa border. Ellsworth had quite a few senior players, and had been in the finals last year; this basketball town was also a runner up team in 2003. In contrast, the 'Shinobs' had only one senior, Brady Fairbanks, a superb player at 6'4", who was off his offensive maneuvering mark in the semifinal and championship games; he had been the high scorer and the MVP in the very tough quarterfinals at the University of Minnesota William's Arena on the Wednesday before the finals. Brady Fairbanks was limping after this game and continued to be hurting in the ensuing games; but functioning at lesser capacity; this anishinabe was still great, such as in defensive playing (blocking shots, and holding down #21, 6'5" Cody Schilling, an equally brilliant player). Joel and Nate Salscheider, twin brothers playing for the Panthers: juniors at 6'6" and 6'5", were absolutely fabulous in the semifinals, taking up the team slack due to Fairbanks' obvious injury earlier. Cass Lake-Bena had no problem with Barnum, that is, interestingly, near the Fond du Lac Chippewa reservation, next to Cloquet, 25 miles south of Duluth, MN; I noted many 'Shinob' supporters for Barnum in both, the quarterfinal and semifinal games. Travis Huesers was the 'Shinob' hero in the final game on Saturday: He is a junior at 6'0, and he scored the highest for Cass Lake-Bena at 19 points. This talented anishinabe was easily the MVP for this championship cliffhanging game! Travis was all over the court in aggressive defense and offensive strategy; he was swishing in 3 pointers when needed. Freshman, Martin Wind, at 5'11" was invaluable, scoring 12 points. Nate Howard, a sophomore at 61", while he scored no points in the final game, did an outstanding job in backup. The "Magnificent Basketball Five" at Cass Lake-Bena, with only a few backup players, went all the way this year in the Minnesota High School basketball tournament. Red Lake anishinabeg made it to the semifinals 10 years ago, leaving a bsketball team legacy unmatched today. I still remember, that highest scoring game in Minnesota High School Basketball History! Of course, Ellsworth, also called gaazhagensag or Panthers was outstanding, for they won! The 3 pointer hotshot, senior Aaron Van Der Stoep, was lucky with his final 3 pointer in the last seconds. After the game, I asked the Ellsworth players how they got so good in basketball. This tall dude replied: "We have nothing else to do but shoot basketball down in Ellsworth!" I laughed with them (better than watching TV). Next time, anishinabeg! web page: www.press-on.net Native American We Support Equal Opportunity For All People A weekly publication.

(AP Photo/Le Mars Daily Sentinel, Earl Horlyk) American Indians lose bid to have Supreme Court step into lawsuit Associated Press The Supreme Court Monday rejected appeals by American Indians to step into a decade- old lawsuit accusing the government of mismanaging more than 100 billion dollars in oil, gas, timber and other royalties from their lands. The justices declined to disturb an appeals court ruling, that removed U.S. District Judge Royce Lamberth from the case. The appeals court said Lamberth, who held successive Democratic and Republican Interior Department secretaries in contempt of court, had lost his objectivity in the case. The court also refused to review another appeals court ruling, reversing Lamberth's order that the Interior Department disconnect its computers from the Internet, for failing to provide adequate security for the Indians' trust records. The government has proposed paying seven billion dollars to settle the lawsuits. The Indians have said they would accept 27.5 billion dollars to end the litigation. Tribal leader calls for boxing director's resignation Associated Press ST. PAUL - The leader of the Mille Lacs Band of Ojibwe urged the head ofthe Minnesota Boxing Commission to step down today. Former boxer Scott LeDoux was appointed by Governor Pawlenty last July to oversee the sport in Minnesota. The Mille Lacs Band has its own boxing commission, which held its first pro card in Hinckley last Saturday. The day of the fights, the Duluth News Tribune reported that a boxing judge claimed LeDoux called the tribe "stupid" for its handling ofthe fights, and that he pressured that judge and another one not to participate. Tribal Chair Melanie Benjamin calls those comments "offensive and inappropriate." LeDoux says he won't quit. He says a referee for the Hinckley fights had inappropriate ties to one boxer. He also says there's no need for a tribal boxing commission because the band could just hire the state's. Pawlenty spokesman Brian McClung says it doesn't warrant LeDoux's resignation. Leech Lake gaming vendor indicted in federal court By Diane White Note: Complaint on page 6. MINNEAPOLIS~The United States Grand Jury arraigned Craig Keith Potts, owner of Cash Systems, Inc., on Thursday, March 22,2007 in federal court on charges that resulted from an investigation of possible corruption of casino development and contracting practices. He was charged with one count of conspiracy, two counts of making false statement and two counts of obstruction of justice. Potts plead not guilty to all of the charges filed against him. If convicted, Potts faces a maximum penalty of five years in federal prison and a $250,000 fine for each count of conspiracy and making false statements. For each count of obstruction of justice Potts faces 20 years in prison and a $250,000 fine. Potts was a vendor to the Leech Lake Band of Ojibwe (LLBO) and the Leech Lake Gaming operations during the time period 2003-2004. Potts' check cashing company, Cash Systems, Inc. operated in each ofthe tribe's three casinos, Northern Lights Casino in Walker, The Palace Casino & Hotel in Cass Lake, and the White Oak Casino in Deer River until recently when Leech Lake Band began their own check cashing company. Agents of the Department of the Interior (DOI) and the Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI) participated in the criminal investigation that began in 2004. During two-year investigation, they interviewed Potts on July 27, 2005, because the agents had received reports about an alleged payment to Gaming Director Rodney White, but did not know the true circumstances of the payment. The federal investigators found that Potts had caused $35,000 to be wired to Leech Lake's Gaming Director Rodney White through Potts' father's Twin Cities area check cashing business. In the indictment, the Gaming Director is only identified as "R. W," however, it is known that during 2003, the Gaming Director was tribal member Rodney White. White was later fired from Leech Lake Gaming amidst allegations of financial wrongdoing not related to this indictment. (See reprinted story, "Leech Lake investigation alleges embezzlement of gaming funds.") During the July 27th interview, Potts claimed that the $35,000 payment was a loan to Rodney White from Potts' father. Potts could not explain why Gaming Director Rodney White would say that the payment was a gift from him. At the time, Potts did not disclose to the investigators that his wife had issued the check for him that was given to Rodney White Potts promised he would supply documentation to support his claim that the payment was a loan between Rodney White and Potts' father. According to the complaint, on August 12,2003, the wife of Potts drafted a check payable to "Cash," which Potts intended to give to Rodney White To conceal the true source of the funds, Potts arranged for the check to be processed through his father, who ran a check-cashing business in the Twin Cities area. Potts gave the check to Rodney White and arranged for Rodney White to obtain the money through his father. Shortly thereafter, on or about August 28,2003, a $35,000 wire transfer was issued by Potts' father's business for Rodney White It was later, but prior to August 3,2005, Potts supplied his counsel with a document purporting to be a Promissory Note signed by Rodney White, and his father, but the document had not truly been signed by Rodney White, according to the eight page indictment The federal prosecutors also stated that on or about August 25, 2004, while the investigation was underway, including interviews of persons in and around the tribe's reservation, Potts falsely stated to another person that Rodney White had borrowed $35,000 and was not paying the money back as promised. According to the indictment, the revenue from the gaming operations is crucial to the economic condition of the tribe and that for many years; the tribe has depended upon gaming employees and vendors who contract to provide services to the tribe. The indictment explained that Potts' business Cash Systems, Inc. was in a position to engage in other business deals with the tribe in 2003 and 2004. In particular, Cash Systems proposed other agreements with the tribe connected to the gaming operations and Potts negotiated with the tribe to participate in the development of a new casino location on lakefront property. [Note from Editor: The property development was known as Shingobee Casino & Marina Emporium.] In the midst of the casino development dealings, COURT to page 7 ;

I noticed two things, the music seems to freeze momentarily on map load. Its not too bad, but it does seem a bit strange. The other is the music sound slider seems to need to be scaled up if possible. I currently have the music on max and sound effects at about 25% which doesn't seem right.

Pena, Gyllenhaal show tremendous chemistry in cop film
Editor's Note: I missed "End of Watch" on its initial run earlier this year. The studio decided to re-release it last weekend in hopes of it garnering some awards season attention and I figured this was as good an excuse as any to run a review.
"End of Watch" is the best cop movie I've seen in a long time.
It's rare for cop movies to just be about cops. More often than not, these movies insist on either being about rebellious supercops who think the rules just don't apply to them or it's some procedural that's more about the seedy underbelly of a city or even the department itself. I can't remember the last time I watched a movie that focused on good cops trying to do a good job, so at the very least "End of Watch" gets points for trying to break the mold a bit.
I was initially a little wary of the film. I've grown to loathe the "found footage" genre and I began wondering if this would end up being little more than an episode of "Cops" but with some semblance of a plot. And while "End of Watch" didn't change my mind on the style, it wasn't nearly as bad as distracting as I expected. Although much of that is due to the fact that the use of "found footage" felt largely arbitrary and justified only through the flimsiest of excuses (one character is filming everything for a filmmaking class he's taking). There's no real rhyme or reason as to why it slips in and out of being "found footage," making the decision to use it at all even more pointless.
The film follows Brian Taylor (Jake Gyllenhaal) and Mike Zavala (Michael Pena), two officers with the Los Angeles Police Department. The two recently have been cleared following a wild car chase and shooting and are back on patrol, but on a new beat in a different part of town. The days mostly involve the same level of harrowing encounters they've become accustomed to (like finding small children duct taped inside closets), but things escalate quickly once they unknowingly draw the attention of a Mexican cartel.
I suspect that Ayer's decision to go found footage was in part so he could justify giving the film an episodic feel. Each scene plays out like its own vignette. Things connect to the larger events that come to a head at the film's climax but each scene feels largely complete in its own way.
The result is a film that isn't so much interested in telling a story as it is simply with giving us a look at what it's like to be a beat cop in southern Los Angeles. The two encounter more harrowing, soul-crushing incidents in a single shift than a lot of cops do their entire careers (or so we're informed, at least). Of course, it also doesn't stray from showing the rather mundane parts of the job, too. This might be the only cop movie that actually shows them doing paperwork.
That said, regardless of how curious (and occasionally distracting) director David Ayer's stylistic choice may be (or how trite his script may feel toward the end) or how light the script may be, what makes this a compelling movie is the relationship between Taylor and Zavala. Gyllenhaal and Pena are absolutely stellar together and have an on-screen relationship and chemistry that is among the best I've seen.
There is a history between these two and you feel it in every conversation they have. Lots of cop movies like to have the protagonists/partners proclaim their brotherhood, but it's never felt as genuine or had as much weight as it does here. At the very least it's some of the best acting I've seen out of either Gyllenhaal or Pena, making it so much more a shame that the film never really found an audience. Pena in particular is great, though that's hardly a surprise. The guy has quietly become one of the most dependable supporting actors out there and it's heartening to see him finally get a really strong lead role.
I could have watched a whole movie of just Pena and Gyllenhaal riding around in their patrol car, talking about their lives and their job. The dialogue flows naturally and the sense of a shared history is evident from the very first time we see the two together. Our final glimpse of the two just before the credits roll is one of my favorite scenes of the year
With that, it's a shame the movie sort of moves into a predictable, if not somewhat overblown, place by the third act. It's not unrealistic, per se, but it just sort of feels like Ayer wrote himself into a corner and couldn't think of a more interesting way to close out this story.
Be that as it may, no one should let the more cliche or predictable portions of "End of Watch" deter them from a viewing. It really is worth watching, if for no other reason than to see Gyllenhaal and Pena work together.
Grade: B+

About Me Scooter Commuter
Best Uses
Comments about Cycle Force Mini Scooter:
This seemed like a very good product. The problem is that you can't get enough information about it from this site to make a truly informed purchase. Things such as, say, the actual make and model of the scooter.This is SHIPPED by CFS, but the make/model is the France Muffin. Had I known this I could have researched it further and gotten a more complete picture of it rather than having to wait until I received it, reading the accompanying literature, then returning it the next day.I'm a scooter novice, and out of the box this seemed like a very good product. But I wanted one for short commutes. This is strictly a trick scooter. The pamphlet that comes with it says to never use it on a slope or on any sort of imperfect surface. You can't commute with a scooter like that. That sort of info was not available on this website when I was shopping.Also know that if you return it, you will be picking up the tab for the shipping. In my case it was $15.50. Not a bank breaker, but something you need to know.To repeat, this seemed like a very good scooter. But know that its uses are very limited.

This chapter addresses the question of primitivism in the Natural History by examining Pliny's account of the primitive Chauci, inhabitants of the north-west German coast. The rather hostile description of this tribe draws on a long-established discourse concerning the watery chaos beyond the limits of the known world. In this way, the text equates the cosmos as it is ordered by nature with the world as it is ordered by the Romans, with their genius for imposing stability on chaos — a talent exemplified in the story of how the Cloaca Maxima was built.

Have you ever bawled your eyes out over a cartoon/animated film?
I watched UP today and I swear the first half hour of this film is the saddest thing I've seen in ages.
I feel so silly crying over an animated film but it was really sad. |

I cry at the majority of Disney/Pixar movies, they all have their sad moments. The first one I remember crying at was The Lion King when Mufasa died, but I was only little then, however it still gets me to this day. Up! is especially sad, it is amazing how powerful an animated film can be. But I've cried at them all, from Snow White to Tangled, dunno why, they just all get me!

Watership Down anyone? Watched it for the first time as an adult recently and it had me on the verge of tears, what I'd thought as a kid was a really sad ending is just beautiful.
that first 12 minutes of Up though, I'm with you all the way OP. |

Me too at Up!!! I'd read reviews where they talked about the opening and what a tearjerker it was. I reckoned this was load of rubbish and no way could a cartoon reduce people to tears in the first 10 minutes!!!
2 nights later, I'm sitting in the cinema trying to wipe my tears and keep my 3D glasses on!!! Absolutely brilliant film! I also had to wipe away a tear at Monsters Inc when Boo had to go home! (So looking forward to the new Monsters film this year!) |

Can't think of many that haven't left me in floods.
It's an age thing. Toy Story 3 was the most emotionally draining film I have seen for years. Try watching that when your own children were the same age as the boy in the first film and you bought them Woody and Buzz dolls. And then watching no. 3 when they are all off to Uni. Grave of the Fireflies Will never watch it as I value my peace of mind too much and having been told the story, I know I wouldn't be able to cope. |

It's legitimately one of the best films ever made, but it's just devastating in a way that no other film I've seen is. Disney didn't want it when it bought the rest of Studio Ghibli's films for US release, proving that it's some what out of place in this thread, but any film fan who thinks they can stand it should definitely see it. Probably the most powerful anti war film ever.

I've never cried during an animated film, but then again I've never cried during any film.
I really don't get all this love for Up. I'd heard all these amazing reviews of it so had high expectations, but I found it a bit "meh" to be honest! Anyway, here's a link to a picture of a guy who looks like the old man from Up; http://thefw.com/real-life-carl-from-up/ |

Loads of the Pixar movies have me welling up in places, but as Speak Softly said further up, Toy Story 3 had me (and still has me) completely bawling. The bits when the mother is packing up Andy's room to send him to college, and we've watched this kid grow up over the years, well, I have that to come so that really gets to me.
But the bit at the end, when Andy is giving his toys to the little girl, and he gets to Woody, and he's describing what a good friend he has been to him all his life, but he knows he's grown up now and doesn't need him anymore, but he still clearly loves him, WAAAAAH!!!!! Absolutely brilliantly done. And when they watch him drive off, and Woody's "So long, buddy....." I think Toy Story 3 is the best of the 3 movies - and that's saying something because all 3 are absolutely superb. |

Oh my God.. I cried during Jessie's sad story in Toy Story 2, truly heartbreaking, beautiful!
And that bit when Woody is seriously thinking about going to Japan and he overhears You've Got a Friend in Me play on the TV show which reminds him of Andy The incinerator scene in TS3 where all the toys are holding hands really got to me, and the beginning featuring all those flashbacks with You've Got a Friend in Me playing is now tinged with real sadness The part when Andy played with his toys one final time with Bonnie was beautiful I welled up during the song I See the Light in Tangled - very moving |

Not bawled my eyes out..but tearful at:
Toy Story 3 (the finale when Andy gives away his toys, although the furnace scene affected me like nothing I've ever seen in the cinema). Forrest Gump ("You died on a Saturday morning..") The Shawshank Redemption (the hug on the beach) Gladiator ("Go to them") Also, I maintain that Marley and Me is a pretty awful movie, but the last five minutes...well, as a dog-lover, that got to me. |

As for animated films, I agree about the Toy Story films, When She Loved Me is so sad. And Toy Story 3's ending is a choker. |

Of course, how could you not! Just off the top of my head:-
Watership Down - Bright Eyes. Need I say more? This film traumatised me as a child. I've never seen it since, and will never watch it again. Toy Story 2 - Jessie remembers her owner abandoning her with "When She Loved Me" by Sarah McLachlan playing. Toy Story 3 - The toys realise they are gonna be destroyed and they all stand holding each other awaiting certain death. Up - The first 15 odd minutes. The Lion King - Mufasa dies and Simba finds him and calls for help. Bambi - His mother is shot and killed and he calls out for her. Dumbo - His mother is locked up and she holds him through the bars of her cage and sings to him. Monsters Inc. - Basically the last 10 minutes of the film where Sully leaves Boo home and the very end when she sees him again. There are plenty more I'm sure, but the longer I think about it, the more I can feel myself wanting to cry, so I'll stop there! |

Colin Moran is the third baseman for North Carolina, one of the higher-ranked teams in college baseball. He's also B.J. Surhoff's nephew, and he's following nearly the same path as his uncle.
Among the high school pitchers -- the highest risk-reward part of any Draft -- right-hander Kohl Stewart from Texas and lefty Trey Ball from Indiana have broken away from the pack and left the others behind. There are some other potential first-rounders, enough to allow this year's first round to at least match that of last year, when five high school pitchers were selected
Hunter Harvey is ready for two of the biggest events of his life. First the 18-year-old will graduate from high school on Friday.. Less than two weeks later, he'll take the first step toward his future career -- the 2013 First-Year Player Draft, set for June 6-8 in New York.
The Cubs are finalizing prep work for the First-Year Player Draft, to be held June 6, and Theo Epstein, president of baseball operations, led a group of front office executives to Oklahoma to meet Wednesday with right-handed pitcher Jonathan Gray.
Major League Baseball announced that former All-Star Bob Boone and front-office executive Johnny DiPuglia will represent the Nationals at the upcoming 2013 MLB First-Year Player Draft.
Fittingly, one of the top Draft picks in Giants history will help represent the club at next month's Major League Baseball 2013 First-Year Player Draft, as Will Clark will be the team's standard-bearer along with Tony Siegle, San Francisco's senior advisor of baseball operations.
Former Cardinals pitcher Ryan Franklin, now an assistant to general manager John Mozeliak, has been helping the organization as it scouts potential picks for the upcoming First-Year Player Draft. His Draft-related work won't end there.
Mariners Hall of Famer Alvin Davis has been selected to represent the club at the 2013 First-Year Player Draft on June 6 at MLB Network's Studio 42 in Secaucus, N.J.
Five-time All-Star and two-time American League MVP Frank Thomas will represent the White Sox at the First-Year Player Draft on June 6.
The Blue Jays will be represented at the coming First-Year Player Draft by former first baseman Fred McGriff. The Blue Jays have the 10th overall pick in the June Draft, which will take place June 6-8.
Former American League Fireman of the Year Ken Sanders, who pitched three seasons for the Brewers, including their inaugural 1970 campaign, will represent the club on the first day of next month's First-Year Player Draft.
David Eckstein, who spent four seasons as an Angel and was a member of the 2002 World Series championship squad, will represent the Angels at the 2013 Draft.
A decorated member of the Astros' past and one of the men tasked with scouting the franchise's future will help usher in the next crop of Houston Astros, as Jose Cruz and Oz Ocampo will represent the Astros at the MLB First-Year Player Draft.

We are showing you the Global version of our site: would you prefer a different location?
I am a visitor here myself
I don't speak a word of Japanese, it turns out that it didn't really matter. This past weekend at the Tokyo Cycle Mode Exhibition confirmed what I suspected – riders are riders and we can all "talk cycling", even if we don't fully understand one another.
While Daisuke and his crew of friends and Yonretto riders manned the most handsome booth at the show, I talked with local riders and learned.
For instance, I found out that Damiano Cunego is a hero in Japan. The Japanese seem to love all Italians actually, as proven by the hour-long lines to test ride Pinarellos and De Rosas at the show.
Fashion shows at bike shows don't mix. Doesn't matter what country really. Somehow break-dancing in helmet and kit always seems like a good idea at the time. It's not.
Finally, it seems that one way to thank your wife for all of her support leading up to and over the weekend of the show, is to honor her by dressing like her. Mari and Daisuke looked every bit ready for the Gavia on the last day of the show.

+ Learning the trivia behind the musical
When I went to see "Sunset Boulevard" Saturday, Jan. 12, I heard a rumor from cast members of The Players Theatre production. In the book, "On Sunset Boulevard: The Life and Times of Billy Wilder," by Ed Sikov, there's a confirmation of this disturbing rumor.
In the script, there's a scene in which leading lady Norma Desmond buries her pet chimpanzee. According to the book, during a party someone asked Billy Wilder, the writer of the script, what the scene means. Wilder's explanation referenced bestiality.
On a lighter note, a scene featuring Schwab's Pharmacy is based on a real-life Sunset Boulevard soda fountain where Hollywood big shots used to hang out, much like in the musical. The musical doesn't feature F. Scott Fitzgerald suffering a heart attack there though, like he did in real life. The pharmacy was torn down in 1988.
These are some things to think about when you go see "Sunset Boulevard." It has been extended through Jan. 27; tickets cost $25.
+ Jazzed about Cynthia Sayer album
People are jazzed about the smooth-swinging four-string banjoist and vocalist Cynthia Sayer. During her sold-out Jan. 19 concert at The Glenridge Performing Arts Center, it's likely she will perform some numbers from her album "Joyride," coming out Jan. 22.
Sayer's parents, Bert and Barbara Sayer, are residents of Sarasota. Sayer has played alongside famous locals such as Dick Hyman, but she's also performed with impressive non-locals such as Wynton Marsalis, Les Paul, Bill Cosby and Bucky Pizzarelli, to name a few. For more info about the musician and to pre-order her new album, visit cynthiasayer.com.

Sometimes I get tired of my star tip (the one I use to pipe big cupcake swirls). So, I pick a random tip from my set and see what I can come up with. For these cupcakes, I used Wilton tip 352 and piped a loose spiral with lots of lines criss-crossing over it. I think it's a keeper!
Note: If you click the link to my tip set above, you'll see that it doesn't have 352 in it. I have no idea how I got 352, but it must have gotten mixed in with the others.
Let's Talk About the Cupcake
These cupcakes are not my first ones made using olive oil and I wouldn't even say that they are the best (my olive oil cupcakes with lemon, thyme, and balsamic whipped cream are some of my favorite cupcakes ever). However, this is the first time that I used olive oil in the frosting. I made a basic buttercream frosting and used olive oil instead of milk. The olive oil makes you pucker just a little bit (especially if you use a bold, fruity olive oil). If you like the taste of olive oil, you'll enjoy the effect, although you may wish that it were even stronger (remedy this by drizzling some olive oil over the frosted cupcakes).
I Thought You Said We Were Going to Talk About the Cupcake, Not the Frosting
Ah, yes. The cupcakes. These cupcakes are also not my first cupcakes made with basil (I made vegan chocolate basil cupcakes). However, without the chocolate flavor to serve as a distraction, the basil flavor truly shines here. The basil makes the cupcakes feel light and Springy (as opposed to all the snow we've been getting here in St. Louis), but I will warn you that the cake is quite dense.
My neighbor tasted tasted these for me. She said that she didn't like the first bite because it was too unexpected, but that she enjoyed each subsequent bite more and more and was in love with the cupcake by the last bite.

I made these cupcakes for February's Cupcake Hero! I'm looking forward to seeing all of the other olive oil entries!

West Cumbrian father cleared of stealing 'on loan' shopping trolley
Last updated at 20:26, Thursday, 22 March 2012
A father-of-three from Workington has been cleared of stealing an Asda shopping trolley after telling magistrates that it was only on loan.
Unemployed Ryan Langcake, 21, explained to West Cumbria Magistrates Court that it was a toss up between buying nappies, wipes and food for son Ryan Jordan and taking the trolley or forcing his one-year-old to go without and paying for a taxi home.
Mr Langcake, who lives less than a mile from the Dunmail Park superstore, was acquitted of theft on Monday.
He said: "I did what any good father would do.
My baby needed these things so I bought them.
"I couldn't afford the shopping and the taxi, so I borrowed the trolley."
Mr Langcake, who has never passed his driving test, was arrested on January 6 after police raided the Far Moss home which he shares with fiancee Stacey Jefferson, 21, in search of stolen metal.
Stumbling across the trolley, they arrested the former Stainburn School pupil.
The trolley had been at his home for three days.
Brockbanks solicitors, representing Mr Langcake, wrote to the Crown Prosecution Service citing public cost as a reason to quash the case.
It cost the taxpyaer £377 to take the case to court.
Linda Vance, district crown prosecutor, said: "We made a decision there was sufficient evidence to provide a realistic prospect of conviction.
"We took the view it was in the public interest to proceed to trial so that a magistrate could assess the evidence and reach a verdict."
Mr Langcake added: "I am not a thief. I'm just a man who wanted to provide for my child, but I couldn't afford the taxi too."

Let's talk about mental health The Land | 06 Mar, 2013 THE Land wants to get more people in the bush talking – and thinking – about mental health.

The Land's editor Sally White said the online forum would allow readers to ask questions of mental health professionals.

Chinese human rights activist Chen Guangcheng arrived Saturday evening in the United States, bringing an end to a diplomatic firestorm that erupted after he escaped from house arrest and took to YouTube to complain about abuse he said his family suffered at the hands of authorities.
United Airlines Flight 88 landed at New York/Newark Liberty International Airport to little fanfare after the U.S. State Department prohibited public and media access. Traveling with Chen were his wife and two children.
Less than two hours later, Chen, 40, spoke from New York University, where he will participate in a fellowship.
"I am very grateful to the assistance of the American Embassy and the promise of the Chinese government for protection of my rights as a citizen over the long term," Chen said to a mob of reporters and onlookers. "I am very gratified to see the Chinese government has been dealing with the situation with restraint and calm."
The activist indicated through a translator that the U.S. government granted him partial citizenship rights. He asked people to work with him to "promote justice and fairness in China." And Chen said he was looking forward to recuperating in "body and spirit."
Reporters traveling with him were denied access to Chen for much of the 13-hour flight from Beijing until he agreed to talk to one member of the media.
Chen expressed mixed feelings about arriving in the United States, saying he has unfinished business at home, according to CNN's Steven Jiang, who was on board the flight.
Chinese-speaking diplomats from the U.S. Embassy in Beijing traveled with the family, according to two senior State Department officials.
Chen had neither passport nor visa in hand when he was abruptly shuttled to the Beijing airport for the flight. At the airport, Chen waited with his wife and two children in a secure location. He was in a wheelchair, dark glasses over his eyes -- Chen is blind.
Chen had been in a Chinese hospital for the past few weeks, awaiting the documents to travel to the United States.
