Today Amazon offers By turns epic and explosive, Robert Kroese's Mercury trilogy draws inspiration from the impertinent, side-splitting, and madcap adventures of Douglas Adams's "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy." The books chronicle the universe-saving slacker angel, Mercury. Destined to be cult favorites, today the Mercury Trilogy books are only $1.99 each (80% off).
While on assignment in Utah, Christine Temetri isn't surprised when yet another prophesied Apocalypse fails to occur. After three years of reporting on End Times cults for a religious news magazine, Christine is seriously questioning her career choice. But then she meets Mercury, a cult leader whose knowledge of the impending Apocalypse is decidedly more solid than most: he is an angel, sent from heaven to prepare for the Second Coming but distracted by beer, ping pong, and other earthly delights. After Christine and Mercury inadvertently save Karl Grissom—a film-school dropout and the newly appointed Antichrist—from assassination, she realizes the three of them are all that stand in the way of mankind's utter annihilation. They are a motley crew compared to the heavenly host bent on earth's destruction, but Christine figures they'll just have to do. Full of memorable characters, Mercury Falls is an absurdly funny tale about unlikely heroes on a quest to save the world.
Jaded religion reporter Christine Temetri and Mercury, a renegade angel, have just thwarted two diabolical plots to destroy the world. But their work isn't finished yet: mysterious powers outranking even the Heavenly bureaucracy seem intent on keeping the Apocalypse on track. While the world is plagued by natural disasters and nations prepare for war, crazed billionaire Horace Finch plots to use a secret device hidden beneath the African desert to discover the deepest secrets of the Universe—even if he has to destroy the Universe to do it. Meanwhile, unassuming FBI investigator Jacob Slater tries in vain to find a rational explanation for the mysterious destruction of downtown Anaheim—a quest that ultimately brings him to Kenya, where he meets Christine and Mercury. Together, the three must stop Finch from activating the device and tearing reality to pieces. Uproarious and wildly entertaining, Mercury Rises proves that the devil is in the details!
Mercury Rests: The epic conclusion to the Mercury trilogy!
After foiling an attempt to destroy the universe, Mercury has gone missing. And with the devil already putting the final fiendish touches on his next scheme to bring about the apocalypse, all that stands between Lucifer and his dreams of a hellfire holocaust are two misfit humans: jaded religion reporter Christine Temetri and mild-mannered forensic analyst Jacob Slater.
But the pair soon realize that the Prince of Darkness has set his sights higher than they can reach; he's planning to bring his battle for domination straight to the pearly gates. They'll need the wisecracking, ping-pong loving, apathetic angel Mercury to help save the day, the world, and heaven before the clock ticks down to the End Times…if they can find him.
By turns epic and explosive, Mercury Rests concludes the trilogy that Booklist describes as a "hilarious romp" that has "cult favorite written all over it."
The Named (Guardians of Time) by Marianne Curley is a book for young readers with ages 10 and up. Today's price is only $1.99
Magic blooms in Angel Falls, the setting of this promising launch to Curley's (Old Magic) time travel trilogy. At the edge of a national forest, where two worlds co-exist, 16-year-old Ethan Roberts guards time or, more specifically, history ("My job is to make sure it all happens the way it's supposed to, the way it already did"). As one of the Named, a Guardian of Time, he has been doing this since age four, not long after his 10-year-old sister, Sera, was killed. Her murderer, an evil half-faced monster, Marduke, is an Order of Chaos minion who wishes to alter the past in order to change the future-and to avenge his own losses. As the novel opens, Ethan is given an Apprentice to train, 15-year-old Isabel Becket, younger sister of his ex-best friend. With the help of Arkarian, a 600-year-old Guardian who lives deep inside the mountain, Isabel quickly takes to the apprenticeship, and her power to heal strengthens. But the forces of good and evil are headed for a Final Conflict foreseen by the Prophecy found in Veridian, the ancient city hidden deep under Angel Falls. No machine is required for time travel here; a strange "sleep" is the conduit between worlds past and present. Told in convincing alternating chapters by Isabel and Ethan, the novel reveals a mystery, the clues to which unfold via the duo's trip back in time to John of Gaunt (during the reign of Richard II) and details of Sera's death. Readers will likely be swept up by the ever-growing complications and want to return for the series' next installments.

Trainyard is a puzzle solving game unlike any that you've ever played. It's easy to learn but very tough to master. Your job is simple: get each train to a goal station. Red trains go to red stations, blue trains go to blue stations, etc. You control the trains by drawing track for them to follow. There isn't a time limit or even a score; the only thing you need to do is figure out a solution for each puzzle.
The first few puzzles are almost too easy, but as the difficulty increases you'll be thankful that you were able to practice the fundamentals of drawing track. As the game progresses, you'll have to use colour theory to combine trains of different colours, use timing to merge and split trains, and use every inch of your brain in your quest to beat the game.
Product features:
- Innovative and challenging puzzle mechanic
- Smooth difficulty curve
- 100 main puzzles and over 50 bonus puzzles
- Hundreds of ways to solve each puzzle
- Colour-blind mode

Monmouth Joins The MAAC [VIDEO]
Monmouth University was officially welcomed into the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference Monday during a press conference at the Multipurpose Activity Center. In other words the MAAC came to the MAC.
Monmouth and Quinnipiac are the two schools among what had been a list of about 12 that received invitations Friday to join the league for all but three sports: football, field hockey and bowling. Those three will seek to remain in the Northeast Conference as associate members.
The move to the MAAC means the Hawks will renew conference rivalries with two other New Jersey schools, Rider and St. Peter's.
On hand at the press conference was MAAC Commissioner Richard Ensor, a Brick native and 1971 graduate of Monsignor Donovan High School which was then St. Joseph's. Ensor, a longtime resident of Lacey and father of four has been the league's commissioner for 24 years. Our Shore Sports Network is the radio home of Monmouth basketball and football.
In their worst moment Christine and Anthony Volpe sought to find something to perpetuate the memory of their son James, a Jackson Memorial High School senior who was tragically killed while a passenger in an auto accident in May of 2011.
The parents asked that in lieu of flowers that friends and others donate to a fund to install a new scoreboard on the Jaguars baseball field as James was a proud member of the varsity program.
Without knowing it at that moment the James Volpe Foundation was born and Co-chairperson Rob Meleo says that in its first full year the non-profit organization gave out over $20,000.
Through various fundraisers, including a waffle ball tournament and golf outing, as well as donations the foundation was able to help in many different ways. They funded scholarships, gave money to local little leagues for families that could not afford fees, established a SADD chapter at Jackson Memorial High School, helped a Monmouth County high school student-athlete get needed eye surgery and assisted victims of Superstorm Sandy. What better way for James Volpe to be remembered? For more information visit jamesvolpefoundation.org.
In a short time few will remember that Red Bank Catholic beat Red Bank in a varsity boy's basketball game last night. What won't be forgotten is that before the game the Bucs retired the #34 jersey worn by senior Albert Martin, who collapsed and died during a scrimmage earlier this month. No other boys or girls basketball player will ever wear that number again.

Pryor lauds Norwich schools in start-of-year convocation
Norwich — State Education Commissioner Stefan Pryor has been a regular fixture at the opening convocation for Norwich public schools staff, accepting the invitation to attend as guest speaker for three straight years.
One week after Pryor announced he would step down from the position at the end of December, he made his final convocation speech Tuesday to more than 700 Norwich school staff and supporters at the Kelly Middle School auditorium.
Along with Pryor's appearance, the event featured its characteristic festive atmosphere combined with a motivational speech by the reigning teacher of the year, giveaways and even a T-shirt toss.
"In Norwich, one gets the warmest of feelings and gets the greatest energy in the entire state," Pryor told the audience.
The annual morning event kicks off the school year, as teachers and administrators then attended afternoon professional development sessions to prepare for today's opening day of school.
Norwich has been an early and repeat beneficiary of education reform programs initiated under Pryor's supervision. Norwich is one of 30 Alliance Districts in line for several million dollars in school improvement funding, and the John B. Stanton School was one of the first four Commissioner's Network schools three years ago.
Uncas School was added as a Commissioner's Network School this year, ushering in its school turnaround plan with new staff and added positions, such as classroom interventionists, a family liaison coordinator and an improvement coordinator.
Superintendent Abby Dolliver said more than 50 percent of Uncas School staff is different this year, either new employees or transfers from other positions. A similar turnover occurred at Stanton three years ago when it became a Network School.
Some staff requested transfers, either into or out of Uncas, Dolliver said, while others were administrative changes or new hires.
"That's to be expected," Dolliver said. "Some was at their request, some we shifted."
Throughout the school district, Norwich added about 50 new staff members, Dolliver said.
Including state Network and Alliance District funding, regular state school grants and federal grants, fully one-third of the Norwich public school staff is grant-funded.
Pryor said the state has been committed to the school improvement plans, and test scores are starting to show results. Stanton's standardized test scores rose 6 points in one year after receiving funding, Pryor said. Alliance District funding to Norwich's $3.89 million Alliance District grant this year is a 63 percent increase over last year, and a 220 percent increase over the initial 2012 grant, he said.
Teacher of the Year Lara Garber, a first-grade teacher at Samuel Huntington School, used a low-tech prop to engage her audience Tuesday. Garber, entering her 25th year as a Norwich schoolteacher, lifted a gift bag onto the podium with a happy face on one side and a frown on the opposite side. She turned the bag as she described the many surprises a teacher is likely to face in a typical school day or school year.
New math curriculum, frown face.
A new manageable size class of students, happy face. She quickly turned it around to the other side to mark how that teacher might react when several new students are added to the class.
"What other job can you go in every day and get a surprise?" Garber said. "In Norwich, some days have lots of surprises."
Garber said last year, one boy in her class broke up into hysterical laughter — and the entire class joined him — whenever the word "nugget" showed up in a story. It could be a chicken nugget or a corn nugget. There was no turning back, Garber said, so she learned to avoid the word altogether until near the end of the school year, when an adventure story about Mount Rushmore turned into a gold mine story, and yes, someone found a gold nugget.
"The best thing is trying to figure out what you're going to do with those surprises," she told her colleagues.

Kregganie necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 107 diseños de 27 diseñadores freelance.
Energy Pathways, Inc.
I am a Reiki practitioner starting my business. Reiki is a healing modality utilizing soft touch. My business will consist of giving treatments in an office, teaching classes and running seminars on Reiki. I anticipate growing into and learning other energy healing modalities throughout the years and expanding the business as needed.
I chose the name Energy Pathways because it lends itself to the entire energy system that we all have running around us. With all of the energy pathways running in harmony, it brings us to a balanced state of being which promotes wellness (body, mind and spirit).
I often see hands as a symbol in logos for this. I don't mind something like that as long as it's unique.
When I was making the decision about starting this business I went to VA beach to visit with my aunt. As we were talking about where I wanted to go with Reiki, I felt something at my feet. To my amazement it was a BEAUTIFUL Welk sea shell. On the outside it is very light sand color with some black marks. On the inside it is a beautiful coral color. I consider this my reiki gift and it has become my signature. If this could be incorporated into a design, that would be great (although not mandatory).
I currently don't have a tag line, although "A journey to wellness" is something I have thought about.
Reiki is an energy therapy that can benefit everyone. I am targeting anyone that feels they would benefit from having a Reiki session for anything from stress relief to complemting any traditional health care treatment . I also will target anyone that would like to be attuned to Reiki (teach classes). As my business grows, my audience will expand into other areas of energy therapy.

Pint-size rockers rejoice! Dirty Sock Funtime Band are back at the Levitt
The other day it was the roller skaters in New York City's Central Park. Tomorrow it could be the call of a bird.
For members of the Dirty Sock Funtime Band, inspiration for new material comes in all shapes, sizes and sounds.
"We draw our music from everywhere," said Stephen Jacobs, one of six musicians who make up the band. "We recently had to write a song about a character who does not know what music is ... and we decided music was anything you intended it to be."
For fans of Nick Jr.'s "Jack's Big Music Show," this high-energy rock band needs no introduction. It was appearances on that children's show that first garnered them fans among children and adults. Hoping for a show of their own, they recorded three pilot episodes for television featuring music, comedy, puppetry and plenty of opportunities to sing and dance. They can be found on the group's DVD, "The Dirty Sock Funtime Band."
As they await the small-screen opportunities, the group remains a busy creative force, appearing in venues across the tristate area, including the Levitt Pavilion in Westport on Wednesday, July 17.
It is a return trip for the band, which also includes Jacobs' brother, Adam (aka "Mr. Clown"), Mike Messer, Sean Dixon, Bill Phillips and Annie Elmer.
Stephen Jacobs said the band's shows depend on a lively crowd that is not afraid to move.
"I think playing live is the most fun for me," Jacobs said. "Kids are an amazing audience ... they are just so much fun in that they give you everything ... they don't hold back."
For many youngsters, a visit to see the Dirty Socks is likely their first rock 'n' roll concert, which pleases Jacobs and the others tremendously. Still, the group does not shy away from other styles. One can easily hear a folk and country influence in some of their tunes, as well as rhythm-and-blues, klezmer and funk.
"As educators, we had a very real conversation about what we are teaching," he said. "We want it to be entertaining, but we know we are introducing kids to all different genres of music and ways of experiencing music."
Stephen and Adam Jacobs also run a rock 'n' roll peace education program for New York City children. This program serves hundreds of children after school and in the summer.
The band's fans are waiting for a new album this fall, but they can whet their appetites with the band's EP it released a month ago, "The Spin Cycle," which features five songs.
"We really all love music," said Stephen Jacobs of his fellow band members. A rich set of musical influences colors the band's palette, he said. For instance, he was greatly influenced by Frank Zappa, the Beatles and Parliament Funkadelic.
Although the lyrics can be quite silly, and Mr. Clown helps to put an imprint on many of the songs, Jacobs said the mission has always been to bring quality music to all ages.
"I think that a lot of people set out to be a kids band and we just set out to be a band and the people we play for happen to be families," Jacobs said. "It happened incredibly organically.
"We are just doing the things we love to do and when you do that, especially with kids, you are going to have a great time."

New Programs - Now Playing
Earlier this year, NPR announced it is discontinuing production of the popular call-in show, Talk of the Nation as of June 27, 2013. Talk of the Nation aired on Capital Public Radio's News Station Monday through Friday at 11:00 a.m. Because of this change by NPR, Capital Public Radio is adding three compelling new programs to our News Station and changing the line-up between 9 a.m. and 2 p.m.
Starting July 1, 2013, Insight with Beth Ruyak will move to 9:00 a.m. in order to better continue the big stories from Morning Edition and keep listeners up to date with the news of the day from around our region. At 10:00 a.m., we'll broadcast public radio's newest daily news magazine Here and Now, hosted by Robin Young and Jeremy Hobson. At noon, we'll have a rotation of programs including TED Radio Hour on Monday, America's Test Kitchen on Tuesday, Radiolab on Wednesday and This American Life on Thursday. Science Friday will continue to be heard every Friday at 11:00 a.m. Finally, Fresh Air moves to 1:00 p.m. Monday through Friday.
"Anytime we have the opportunity to offer a new program it's really exciting. America's Test Kitchen, for example, is a show we've been interested in for a while. It's a great fit for our farm-to-fork region." -- Rick Eytcheson, Capital Public Radio President and CEO
There will be no changes made to the schedule on Capital Public Radio's Music Station.

New Schedule New Program Descriptions
Monday – Friday 9 am
Capital Public Radio's live, daily interview program informs and entertains with compelling, timely and civil conversation. Using sound journalistic principles, Insight illuminates the big ideas and issues confronting our communities, and reflects the arts and culture of our region. Host Beth Ruyak has authentic, memorable conversations that show our region's diverse voices and heart.
Insight is produced by Capital Public Radio. More information may be found at www.capradio.org/insight
Monday – Friday 10 am
Here! Now! In the moment! Paddling in the middle of a fast moving stream of news and information. Here & Now is Public Radio's daily news magazine, bringing you the news that breaks after Morning Edition and before All Things Considered.
A gifted journalist, Robin Young is a superb interviewer and versatile host who can go deep on the Syria crisis and then pivot to heartfelt, probing human interviews. She's a Peabody Award-winning documentary filmmaker, and has been at the helm of Here & Now for a decade. Co-host Jeremy Hobson joins Here & Now from his role hosting the Marketplace Morning Report. Adept at taking complex news and making it comprehensible and engaging for listeners, Jeremy will be an equal partner with Robin Young, bringing his trademark candor and energy to the program.
Here & Now is a co-production between NPR and WBUR. More information may be found at www.capradio.org/hearandnow
Monday – Friday 1 pm
Fresh Air has been heard on our air for many years and will now be moving to 1 pm Monday through Friday. Fresh Air with Terry Gross, the Peabody Award-winning weekday magazine of contemporary arts and issues, is one of public radio's most popular programs. Though Fresh Air has been categorized as a "talk show," it hardly fits the mold. Its 1994 Peabody Award citation credits Fresh Air with "probing questions, revelatory interviews and unusual insights." And a variety of top publications count Terry Gross among the country's leading interviewers. The show gives interviews as much time as needed and complements them with comments from well-known critics and commentators.
Fresh Air will be broadcast Monday – Friday at its new time of 1 pm. Fresh Air is produced by WHYY in Philadelphia and broadcast nationally by NPR. More information may be found at www.capradio.org/freshair

An idea is the one gift that you can hang onto even after you've given it away. The TED Radio Hour, hosted by Guy Raz, is a journey through fascinating ideas: astonishing inventions, fresh approaches to old problems, new ways to think and create. Based on "talks" given by riveting speakers on the world-renowned TED stage, each show is centered on a common theme such as the source of
happiness, crowd-sourcing innovation, power shifts, or inexplicable connections – and injects soundscapes and conversation that bring these ideas to life.
TED Radio Hour is a co-production of NPR and TED. The TED Radio Hour will be broadcast every Monday at noon. More information may be found at www.capradio.org/tedradiohour

If you've never heard This American Life, it's difficult to describe. So usually, they just say what it's not. It's not a news show or a talk show or a call-in show. They tell stories that are like movies for radio. There are funny moments, emotional moments, moments where the people in the story say interesting, surprising things about it all. It is a documentary show for people who normally hate documentaries. "A public radio show for people who don't necessarily care for public radio."
This American Life started in 1995 in Chicago and in the years since, has won many awards including the Peabody, and the duPont-Columbia. Ira Glass, the host of the show, was named best radio host in the country by Time Magazine and received the highest individual honor in public broadcasting, the Edward R. Murrow Award. The American Journalism Review declared that the show is at "the vanguard of a journalistic revolution."
This American Life is broadcast every Saturday at noon and 6 pm, and is re-broadcast Thursday at noon. It is a production of Chicago Public Radio and is distributed by PRI. More information may be found at www.capradio.org/thisamericanlife

(Reuters) - The Detroit Tigers have agreed a new contract with starting pitcher Max Scherzer to avoid salary arbitration, the team announced Monday.
Scherzer will sign a one-year deal worth $6.7 million, according to local reports, bringing an end to negotiations between the two sides.
"We're pleased," said Tigers general manager Dave Dombrowski. "We've always been in a position where we try to hopefully negotiate our own deals."
The 28-year-old Scherzer was the team's second best pitcher last season when he finished 16-7, struck out 231 batters and carried his success into the post-season where he helped the Tigers reach the World Series.
Detroit acquired Scherzer from Arizona following the 2009 season.

"I needed a part-time job and the bank was hiring. I thought it was a great starting point," Daraio said.
Nineteen years later, Daraio is now the senior vice president and chief operating officer of the very bank where he was once worked as a teller.
Outside the logistics and everyday tasks of running a bank, Daraio is proud of the relationship that exists between the bank and the customers in the neighborhood.
"Anything we do, most of our customers are aware of it. We have a small-town feel even though we are near Manhattan," Daraio said. "We want to make sure the neighborhood gets what it deserves."
Daraio prides himself on how his position allows him to be active in the community.
The bank holds several events throughout the year, such as free concerts, car shows, and fun runs. There is also a free carnival for kids every fall. The bank has held the concerts for over 40 year, and the popular fun run is co-sponsored by the 104th Precinct.
"Those things to me are the best," Daraio said.
Daraio also strives to have a friendly atmosphere at each of the bank's six branches. Most feature a welcome and kids area with a bulletin board to inform the community of news and local happenings.
Daraio is excited about the new opportunities the bank has to meet the demands of its customers.
"A lot of people, especially the younger generation, like to do their banking at their own convenience," Daraio said.
As a result, the bank is rolling out new features that will allow customers to deposit checks via their smart-phone.
Outside of his position at the bank, Daraio is also president of the Maspeth Chamber Commerce, which works to support businesses on Grand Avenue and the surrounding neighborhood.
The chamber provides several benefits for local businesses, including a free website listing and a spot at the annual street festival.
Daraio is excited about the opportunity to help promote local businesses and maintain the community he has been a part of for so long.
"It's something I look forward to," he said.

Haha, hilarious! (And a little gross, if I think about it too long.)
Such a great illustration. Love the pose, the tipping table, the great dress pattern and the fact his name is Walter. Really great job.

Oh no, poor girl - I think I would be very frightened when an octopus would do that to me.
Lovely illustration (as allways).

- Ted Blackman said...
Ha Ha Ha. You are very funny, my friend. And now also weird.. like me.
Poor Walter, he has fallen in love with the girl who talks too much. It's happened to me, but I've never tried the mistletoe from a fishbowl method to quiet them. I've never tried anything that actually works for long, better to let them talk.. more peaceful that way.
Walter is smart enough to know that the mistletoe method makes it okay to get close, too. No girl can say no to the mistletoe method.
That's all I got for now.
- November 15, 2011 at 2:14 PM
- Tammie Lee said...
i got to be honest, at first i was a little concerned. the mistletoe changes it all for me. and your words, you are so cleaver, I love your humor!

HAHAHAHAHAHA! Love it!
Walter is a romantic at heart! Do octopuses even have hearts?
She is adorable with her fat little legs.
So gosh darn cute!

Why...I thought the six-armed guy was KISSING her. See how my mind runs. Also mistletoe was a clue?
Well...wrong again. But no problem--I'm used to it.
No comment on Ces' comments, although I'd LOVE to write my thoughts re those.
Bella your art work--AWESOME! Your sense of humor--unequaled. Your choice of sister-friend (Ces)--I don't believe either of you chose. God did!

oooopps, then everyone wanted to know why I was laughing, so I showed them and everyone laughed except for one mother who said, "ugggh, why is it sucking the little girls face off?" I told her it was covering her mouth to make her be quiet. That made her quiet. Maybe I should get an octopus... ;)

Hi Bel.......DAMN! Will someone get this octopus outta my hairy face?
WHEW! Thanks, you with the scissors! WAIT! Did you cut off my mustache???
I'm glad this day is almost to end--but there IS no end--it continues right on as if, as if...starting over now:
Hi Bella! It's me, steveroni! AGAIN...to wish you a HAPPY holiday season. (Are we allowed to write 'the word' Christmas this year?)
1. Do not know if it's money or love which makes the world go 'round. I still believe the sun moves, and we do not. Lazy earth-globe.--grin!
2. What in Hades is serendipitous? Is that like finding a too-friendly octopus sucking on your face?
Seriously, I admire your talent SO much, I feel awkward, unqualified, even to say that. But your art takes me to a place of pre-youth, ogling children's illustrated books like Cinderella, Rumpelstiltskin, that Egg-who-fell-off a wall,And the "Jacks" (beanstalk, Spratt, Jill's brother).

Good morning!!! We need all the octopuses we can find to suck the radios playing Christmas music, already!!! I heard my first Christmas song 5 minutes ago. Seriously!!! I love Christmas and will celebrate as soon as Thanksgiving is over but I hate these modern Christmas songs, especially when it is warm outside. Oh, I forgot. Last September, I saw some Christmas decorations in the mall when I was in the Philippines. Heheheh! Tsup!

This is lovely. I really enjoy the dynamic of the piece. The little squid holding (mistletoe?) an herb above her head. Then the girl, on her toes like she is kissing a boy.
I think both these creatures need to get out more!
Dig the colors too. Very soft.

It happens every political cycle.
Debates. All those ads. Charges. Counter-charges. Quotes. Quotes taken out of context. Messages. Mixed Messages. Facts. Fiction. Fact checkers.
I've noticed a lot of the same things have been happening in the sports world too. So I went work to see if I could approve of some of the sports messages — after fact checking….
— NBA opening night when Rajon Rondo took down Miami's Dwayne Wade with a hard foul. Wade said it was a "punk play" by Rondo.
Fact Check: A true case of it takes one to know one. Both Rondo and Wade are punks.
— On the day Dave Ortiz could have hit the open free agent market, word leaks from Texas that the Rangers might be interested in signing him. The Sox sign Papi to a 2-year / $26-million deal. "You all knew I wanted to be back. I've been here for a while. It doesn't get any better" was the Ortiz quote.
Fact Check: While it can't be proven the rumors about Rangers interest came from Papi's agent, the ploy worked. And the fact is, the Sox really needed Ortiz next year.
— After an embarrassing loss in the home opener Friday, the Celtics' Kevin Garnett talked about playing like a pack of hyenas during a players-only meeting. "Hyenas. Running in packs means that we help each other."
Fact Check: Hyenas are known for stalking their prey and killing it. I'm thinking Ray Allen better be careful around KG the next time the C's and Heat play.
— Milwaukee Brewers GM Doug Melvin tried to quell rumors about his team signing free agent slugger Josh Hamilton. Brewers hitting coach Johnny Narron was Hamilton's "accountability coach" when he was with Texas. Said GM Melvin, "We've got the connection with Johnny Narron but we don't have the connection with U.S. Bank."
Fact Check: Best line of the week.
— The Patriots allowed their assistant coaches to talk to the media during the bye week (thanks Bill). Cornerbacks coach Josh Boyer(who knew) said his players are improving, "there are some good things we've done and there are some things that we need to improve on."
Fact Check: No kidding.
— NHL deputy commissioner Bill Daly on cancelling the Winter Classic game. "We are extremely disappointed for our fans and for all those affected."
Fact Check: As with any negotiation, it takes two to tango. A pox on the houses of owners and players.
I'm Dale Duff…and I approve this blog entry!
— Mike Carlos has coached two teams, in two different sports, from two different schools, one girls team (Washburn basketball), one boys team (Houlton soccer), to state championships in 2012.
— While Westbrook football lost in the semifinals over the weekend, it should be noted that former Bangor Ram Jeff Guerette, the Blue Blazes head coach, has done a great job turning around the fortunes of football in that town.
— I think Foxcroft vs. John Bapst is going to be one heck of a football game to decide the LTC championship.
— We know about the miserable season of the Sox. But how quickly has it turned for the Yankees — from winning the most games in the AL to a team considered old, injured and filled with question marks

Editor's note: Margaret Hoover is the author of "American Individualism: How a New Generation of Conservatives Can Save the Republican Party."
(CNN) -- Dean Obeidallah, John Avlon and I kick off this week's episode of "The Big Three" podcast by tackling Congress' Benghazi hearings from three distinct perspectives.
Ever the centrist, my beloved husband John questions whether the hearings are an earnest search for the truth or a hyperpartisan GOP political witch hunt aimed at embarrassing the Obama administration while derailing Hillary Clinton's potential 2016 presidential bid. Dean and I duke it out from opposite perspectives, and we all agree on a surprising point at the end.
Then, on to a discussion of the dramatic fractures within the GOP on immigration reform -- a split between former Sen. Jim DeMint's Heritage Foundation and his protégé Sen. Marco Rubio -- which give Dean cause for celebration. But I'm not sure he will ultimately like the outcome of these GOP growing pains, which I suspect reveal a realignment of Republican reformers from old guard thinking.
Cracks in what had been GOP monolithic thinking on issues ranging from immigration to gun control to gay rights -- in a week where Delaware became the 11th state to pass marriage equality with a genuine bipartisan majority -- could reinvigorate the GOP brand and lead to a more competitive party nationally.
John thinks renewal and competition in any party orthodoxy is healthy for America, but Dean is clearly rooting for DeMint's success, even if it means the end of the Border Security, Economic Opportunity and Immigration Modernization Act. To be fair, Dean's a comedian, so maybe his partisanship is good for laughs, but it will give way to a desire for good policy to win the day -- even if the Republicans get some credit. We'll let you decide.
Finally, was Gov. Chris Christie's lap band surgery motivated by political ambition or personal health? One of us thinks Americans are too obsessed with weight to elect an obese president. Another worries that the act of losing weight will obscure Christie's record in New Jersey if he decides to challenge Hillary Clinton in 2016. Is it possible for aspiring elected officials to make decisions independent of their political future?
We hope you have as much fun hearing us analyze these issues as we had laughing it out over them.

The tears, we can explain. The partial nudity, not so much.
From a user on the SyracuseFan.com message boards, via Nunes/Magician:
About 2 minutes left in the game I look to my right and this IU chick is sitting there in her bra and panties. I think she was sobbing a little. She had stripped down almost buck naked. As soon as the horn sounded she slipped her jeans and red IU t-shirt back on.
That explains nothing. Was it warm in the Carrier Dome? Did she lose a bet? Are those rally unmentionables? Does she think this is a Claude Rains thing, and she becomes invisible when she takes her clothes off? Is that her Sbarro slice? Did she eat it yet?
The world is full of mysteries.

So many things to do
Victoria is Australia's most densely populated state and marvellously multicultural. Melbourne sits firmly at its heart and there's probably no where more food obsessed than this capital city. Drawing on the fantastic array of local produce, the Victorians are justifiably proud of their menus. Outside of the city limits you'll find fresh air, great open roads and sporting pursuits to tick most boxes from gentle hill walking to extreme skydiving, rock climbing and surfing. Highlights to look out for include the spectacular Great Ocean Road heading south from the city, the epic forests of Errinundra and Snowy River and the picturesque mountains of the high country.

Re-release of Jaane Bhi Do Yaaro historic moment: Kundan Shah
Excited about the re-release of his cult black comedy Jaane Bhi Do Yaaro after 30 years, director Kundan Shah describes it as a historic moment and adds that he has a tentative script for the sequel, but nothing is confirmed yet.
Kundan Shah told IANS, "I am so glad that the film is re-releasing. We made the film on such a small budget and the film did so well. It's a great feeling."
The best part was that "the film had no songs, no item numbers, heroine had a negative role and despite that it connected well with the audience," he added.
The black comedy is coming out Nov 2 and Shah said: "For me, re-release of Jaane Bhi Do Yaaro is a historic moment. It's a big achievement. It's been 30 years the film was made and now the film is re-releasing."
PVR Director's Rare in association with NFDC (National Film Development Corporation) will release the digitally restored version of Jaane Bhi Do Yaaro pan-India exclusively at PVR Cinemas only.
It revolves around two simple and honest photographers, essayed by Naseeruddin Shah and Ravi Vaswani, who witness a murder and get dragged into the corrupt real estate circle where politicians and bureaucrats work hand in gloves. Through the protagonist, the film unearths the corruption in the system.
Making Jaane Bhi Do Yaaro in 1983 was a thorny ride for the director.
"Way back when I made the film in 1983, things were very different. We had a hard time directing the film. But now I see things have changed and it has become even harder to direct a film," he said.
The news of Jaane Bhi Do Yaaro sequel is making rounds in the B-town, but the filmmaker said: "It's a tentative script which is ready. Writing a script is a different thing and directing it is a different thing.
"Just the script is ready, now it all depends. I have not approached anyone for the story as we first need a producer. It's a very different script."

Update #3: Mysteries of the Elizabeth Bull Wedding Gown
The Smithsonian Institution is sometimes called the nation's attic, and the Bostonian Society could be considered Boston's attic. But the Bostonian Society wasn't founded until 1881, when citizens decided to restore the Old State House and turn it into a museum. That means the museum's collections contain lots of historic things, but not so significant that they weren't already owned by the Massachusetts Historical Society, American Antiquarian Society, Harvard University, Museum of Fine Arts, or other older institutions. It also means that the stories behind many of its colonial artifacts are based in family lore passed down for over a century and thus liable to evolution.
The Elizabeth Bull wedding dress is one of those treasures. As I understand the situation, its documentation was created in 1910 when descendants of Elizabeth (Bull) Price donated the garment to the society. They reported their understanding that:
- Elizabeth Bull began to embroider the silk gown with flowers while she was a schoolgirl in 1731.
- She wore the dress at her wedding to the Rev. Roger Price in 1735.
- Her daughter wore it to George III's coronation in 1760.
The Bull gown was on display in the Old State House for most of the first half of the twentieth century, according to newspaper reports. (The museum's internal records don't preserve such detail.) Such long display, perhaps with exposure to some sunlight or drips, has left the backs of the sleeves "shattered" and the skirt stained. These days, conservators told us, the professional rule of thumb is to display a costume for four months and then to keep it in storage for four years.
In addition to the pieces of the gown shown in the photo, there are some matching bits. One is an eighteenth-century underskirt that's in better shape than the overskirt, not having been exposed to light or spills. It also has a wider circumference, suggesting the dimensions of the original gown. There are also pieces of an old bodice, perhaps the original top of the gown or perhaps a part that was never completed and attached.
Those bodice pieces are marked with drawings of flowers for someone to embroider. So did Elizabeth Bull wear this gown at her wedding even though it obviously wasn't finished? Was there originally a plain bodice that's been discarded? Or were the unsewn flowers drawn on later because someone wanted more embellishment, but no one ever finished embroidering them?
Elizabeth and Roger Price moved to England in the mid-1700s. Their daughter reportedly attended a coronation in this gown—still apparently unfinished. She and her brother moved back to Massachusetts after the Revolutionary War, when celebrating George III was no longer a popular activity. Might the family memory of the gown have then morphed from a coronation gown to the gown their ancestor wore at her Boston wedding? Did the daughter, who lived until 1826, have the gown altered, or was that a relative's decision?
I doubt we'll ever know the full story of this garment, but the conservation will preserve the mystery for another generation.

Thermal Processing of Foods: Control and Automation
Thermal Processing of Foods: Control and Automation
ISBN: 978-0-813-81007-2 April 2011 Wiley-Blackwell 220 Pages
Thermal Processing: Control and Automation presents an overview of various facets of thermal processing and packaging from industry, academic, and government representatives. The book contains information that will be valuable not only to a person interested in understanding the fundamental aspects of thermal processing (eg graduate students), but also to those involved in designing the processes (eg process specialists based in food manufacturing) and those who are involved in process filing with USDA or FDA. The book focuses on technical aspects, both from a thermal processing standpoint and from an automation and process control standpoint. Coverage includes established technologies such as retorting as well as emerging technologies such as continuous flow microwave processing. The book addresses both the theoretical and applied aspects of thermal processing, concluding with speculations on future trends and directions.

Google has quietly removed a feature that warned Chinese citizens when they were searching for terms banned by the Chinese government, reports Chinese censorship watchdog site, Greatfire.org.
For instance, when people tried to search for the term "freedom" from mainland China, they would get a pop-warning from Google that said, "We've observed that searching for [freedom] in mainland China may break your connection to Google for a short while. This interruption is outside of Google's control," and it would give the person the option to change the search term or search anyway.
At some point in the first week of December, the warning stopped being displayed and the help article that explained how to use the feature was removed. This after months of games over it, where the Chinese government found ways to disable it and Google found ways to bring the warning back.
Google and the Chinese government have been battling it out over the censorship issue for years, since Google began offering its search service in the country in 2006. The government would disconnect users from the Internet when they attempted to view politically sensitive material and Google would counter with workarounds. This warning was Google's latest attempt, added in May.
But now it looks like Google has conceded defeat, writes Josh Halliday at the Guardian. Halliday quotes a source in China that said Google concluded it was "counterproductive" to continue the fight.

U.S. soybean farmers have a big stake in this country's livestock and poultry operations, which consume 94 percent of the soybean meal used in the United States. Any attack that threatens the animal agriculture industry also threatens soybean farmers.
The need for a unified front against such criticism from animal rights and environmental groups is one of the main reasons the United Soybean Board is partnering with the National Pork Board to sponsor Operation Main Street.
Operation Main Street is a grassroots communications program that involves intensive speaker training, as well as educational materials and seminars on the current state of pork production. OMS then schedules participants to speak to civic groups in the speakers' local areas.
So far, OMS has held eight training classes, and trained 120 producers. This has led to 106 speaker presentations, which has spread the word on pork production to 3,672 local influencers.
After the speech, 63.2 percent of the audience reports a positive attitude toward the industry — the combination of the 23.9 percent who came into the meeting with a positive attitude plus the 39.3 percent who report a change to a positive opinion about the industry.
"After participating in Operation Main Street, I saw how it clearly helps spread the word on the benefits of animal agriculture," said Vicki Coughlin, USB director and soybean farmer from Watertown, Wis.
Starting in January 2006, NPB plans to conduct 20 OMS training sessions throughout the United States and has offered USB the opportunity to have five participants per training session, through the end of 2006. The AAI team has allocated funding to sponsor OMS and join forces with NPB in educating farmers in creating a unified response.
NPB will handle all of the travel logistics, including meeting response forms, training dates and notebooks. This program includes participation in the current training schedule with no customization of the current agenda and no scheduling after the session. However, one section will focus on USB updates and USB will have an area within the Question & Answer section in the program. It will be the responsibility of USB to partner with Qualified State Soybean Boards to issue invitations.
"U.S. livestock uses 94 percent of the U.S. soybean meal used in this country, so it is important that soybean farmers protect that market," said Mark Pietz, USB director and soybean farmer from Lake-field, Minn. "Operation Main Street gives soybean farmers a chance to proactively defend and promote animal agriculture."
