Boyd's World has done an excellent study on pitch counts for the 2008 season. He looked at every start from around the nation and figured out which schools treat their pitchers the best in terms of pitch counts while other schools abuse their pitchers with insane pitch counts. He ranks the pitchers individually for a start, a season and also as a team. For individual starts, he has North Dakota State's Shane Bushland as the most abused pitcher in an 11.1 inning appearance where he threw 176 pitchers. Two Utah Valley State pitchers are second and third on the list with Marcus Moore throwing 164 pitches in eight innings while Bryan Smith threw 161 in a nine inning start.
He also looked at his most abused pitchers for the entire 2008 season and see that Utah Valley State's Marcus Moore leads the country in Pitcher Abuse Points. The rest of the top five is rounded out by Miguel Parga from Florida A&M, Shane Bushland of North Dakota State, J.R. McAllister of Delaware State, and Alford Arnold of Savannah State.
The final thing he looked at was what schools abused their entire staff throughout the 2008 season. Of course, Utah Valley State leads the pack with Florida A&M, North Dakota State, Old Dominion, and Delaware State rounding out the Top 5. He lists Duke as the team with the least amount of pitching abuse points. The rest of the top five is rounded out by Creighton, UNC-Greensboro, Bowling Green, and UConn.

Lindsay's Yummy Tabouli
"Give me this recipe or you will have to make it for me once a week!" Is the how to treat a friend? This is what I told my friend Lindsay a few days ago at work. You see, we have been implementing our "salad club" for a few months now. About 8 of us have an assigned day to make and bring a salad for all of us to enjoy at lunch. That way, we only have to make lunch for 1 day per week! I love my fellow "clubbers" because they are making food items that I can eat by placing meat and milk items on side or eliminating them altogether. We have been eating some very impressive vegan salads lately! Here is one of my favorites from one of my favorite people!
1.Pour 1 1/2 cups of boiling water over 1 cup bulgur. Cover and let sit for 30 minutes.
2.Break off a few leaves of Kale from their stems and rinse off. Break into small pieces. Add a small amount of salt,
lemon juice and olive oil. Massage for a few minutes until it softens.
3. Combine together soaked bulgur, massaged kale, 1/4 cup lemon and lime juice, 1/4 cup olive oil, 1/2 tsp. chopped parsley, 1.2 tsp. dried mint or 1 tsp. chopped fresh mint, 1 tsp. salt, 1/2 cup fresh ground pepper, 1/2 tsp. garlic and 2 chopped ripe tomatoes. Toss altogether and enjoy!

Apocalypse: Early Date Advocates
Henry Cowles : The Book of Revelation | F.W. Farrar : Dating The Book of Revelation | Thomas B. Slater - Dating the Apocalypse to John | Gonzalo Rojas-Flores The Book of Revelation and the First Years of Nero's Reign
"The chief obstacle to the acceptance of the true date of the Apocalypse, arises from the authority of heaven." Frederic W. Farrar
Had the
Apostle James read the
Book of Revelation?
The Book of Revelation
and the First Years of Nero's Reign - Catholic Gonzalo Rojas Flores
"According to ecclesiastical tradition, the
Book of Revelation was written by the apostle John, the son of
Zebedee, about the year 95, during his exile in Patmos, shortly before
writing the fourth gospel in Ephesus. Most scholars support this late dating
(last days of Domitian's reign), but the early dating (between the years 64
and 70) has the support of many important authors1.
In this article I will try to demonstrate that (a) the external evidence is
not conclusive in favor of a late dating, because there is an important
patristic tradition in favor of Nero's reign; and (b) the internal evidence
provides important arguments affirming that the definitive version of
Revelation was redacted after Nero's ascension to power in the year
54 and before the earthquake of Laodicea in the year 60."

"On balance, the virtues far outweigh the faults. The book deserves wide circulation among students of the New Testament, since scholarly opinion (whether conservative or liberal) should regularly examine its assumptions and conclusions. In passing, it is perhaps important to note that Robinson makes elaborate use of the scholarship of Theodore Zahn, perhaps the most brilliant conservative New Testament scholar in the last century.. Let us hope that he will be heard." (Review of Redating the New Testament, by John A.T. Robinson, "When Was the New Testament Written?" Christianity Today 21, April 15, 1977; p. 45)

"It was at this point that I began to ask myself just why any of the books of the New Testament needed to be put after the fall of Jerusalem in 70. As one began to look at them, and in particular the epistle to the Hebrews, Acts and the Apocalypse, was it not strange that this cataclysmic event was never once mentioned or apparently hinted at (as a past fact)? (Redating, p. 10).
"One of the oddest facts about the New Testament is that what on any showing would appear to be the single most datable and climactic event of the period — the fall of Jerusalem in A.D. 70 — is never once mentioned as a past fact. . . . [T]he silence is nevertheless as significant as the silence for Sherlock Holmes of the dog that did not bark". (Ibid., p. 13.)
"If the Book of Revelation was written after the destruction of Jerusalem and the temple, it seems strange that John would be silent about these cataclysmic events. Granted this is an argument from silence, but the silence is deafening." (The Last Days According to Jesus, Grand Rapids, MI: Zondervan, 1998; p. 147)

"The historian who tries to date and place John's Revelation is guided by the author to a quite specific time span. The words of Revelation are written down four years after the Roman fire, and shortly after Nero's own death. We know that they were written before the ultimate calamity of the Sack of Jerusalem by the Romans in AD 70...He writes of the earthly temple as still in existence [Rev 11:1-2]."

"It is very obvious that if the book itself throws any distinct light on this subject, this internal evidence, especially in the absence of reliable historical testimony, ought to be decisive. Instead of appealing to tradition or to some doubtful passage in an ancient father, we interrogate the book itself, or we listen to what the Spirit saith that was in him who testified of these things. It will be found that no book of the New Testament more abounds in passages which clearly have respect to the time when it was written." (Life and Writings of John, p. 151-152)
"So clear is the internal evidence in favor of the early date of the Apocalypse. And no evidence can be drawn from any part of the book favoring the later date so commonly assigned to it." (Life and Writings of John, p. 167)
"And when we open the book itself, and find inscribed on its very pages evidence that at the time it was written Jewish enemies were still arrogant and active, and the city in which our Lord was crucified, and the temple and the altar in it were still standing, we need no date from early antiquity, not even from the hand of the author himself, to inform us that he wrote before the great historical event and prophetic epoch, the destruction of Jerusalem." (Life and Writings of John, p. 171-172)
"There appear to have been but seven church in Asia... when the book was written. It is dedicated to these seven alone by the careful mention of them one by one by name, as if there were no others... The expression 'the seven churches' seems to imply that this constituted the whole number, and hence affords one of the most striking incidental proofs of an early date.. Those who contend for the later date, when there must have been a greater number of churches than the seven in the region designated by the apostle fail to give any sufficient reason for his mentioning no more. That they mystically or symbolically represented others is surely not such a reason." (ibid., p. 154)

"Advocates of the Early-Church-in-general's earlier (Neronic) date for the book of Revelation, include: Epiphanius, Andreas of Caesarea, Arethas of Caesarea, Theophylact, Annius, Caponsacchius, Hentenius, Salmeron, Alcazar, Grotius, Hammond, Wettsteign, Harenberg, Herder, Hartwig, Guerike, Moses Stuart, Adam Clark, Zuellig, Luecke, Bleek, Duesterdieck, Lightfoot, Westcott, Hort, Van Andel, A.D.

"The early date [of Revelation] is now accepted by perhaps the majority of scholars." (Encyclopedia 3:2036.)
"Tertullian's legend of the Roman oil-martyrdom of John seems to point to Nero rather than to any other emperor, and was so understood by Jerome (Adv. Jovin. 1.26) (History 1:428.)
"The destruction of Jerusalem would be a worthy theme for the genius of a Christian Homer. It has been called "the most soul-stirring of all ancient history." But there was no Jeremiah to sing the funeral dirge of the city of David and Solomon. The Apocalypse was already written, and had predicted that the heathen "shall tread the holy city under foot forty and two months." (p. 397-398)

"Of the two books the Apocalypse is the earlier. It is less developed both in thought and style. The material imagery in which it is composed includes the idea of progress in interpretation. . . .
"The Apocalypse is after the close of St. Paul's work. It shows in its mode of dealing with Old Testament figures a close connexion with the Epistle to the Hebrews (2 Peter, Jude). And on the other hand it is before the destruction of Jerusalem." (Brooke Foss Westcott, The Gospel According to St. John (Grand Rapids: Baker, [1908] 1980), pp. clxxiv-clxxv.)

"The Revelation was written to a persecuted church about to face the most tremendous onslaught it had ever known. It would be absurd (not to say cruel) for John to write a letter to persons in such circumstances which not only ignores their difficulties, but reveals numerous details about events supposed to transpire hundreds of years in the future during a seven year tribulation period at the end of the church age." (The Time is at Hand, p. 49)
"It is to remain unsealed because 'the time is at hand.' That is, its prophecies are about to be fulfilled. The events which it predicts do not pertain to the far distant future, but they are soon to happen. The message is for this generation, not for some future one." (The Time is at Hand, p. 51)
Adam Clarke
"Bengel has said much on these points, but to very little purpose; the word in the above place seems to signify delay simply, and probably refers to the long-suffering of God being ended in reference to Jerusalem; for I all along take for probable that this book was written previously to the destruction of that city." (Revelation 10)
Henry Cowles

F.W. Farrar
"We cannot accept a dubious expression of the Bishop of Lyons as adequate to set aside an overwhelming weight of evidence, alike external and internal, in proof of the fact that the Apocalypse was written, at the latest, soon after the death of Nero." (The Early Days of Christianity; NY, NY: A.L. Burt, 1884; p. 408)
The reason why the early date and mainly contemporary explanation of the book is daily winning fresh adherents among unbiased thinkers of every Church and school, is partly because it rests on so simple and secure a basis, and partly because no other can compete with it. It is indeed the only system which is built on the plain and repeated statements and indications of the Seer himself and the corresponding events are so closely accordant with the symbols as to make it certain that this scheme of interpretation is the only one that can survive. (The Early Days of Christianity; NY, NY: A.L. Burt, 1884; p. 434)
Ken Gentry
"John emphasizes his anticipation of the soon occurrences of his prophecy by strategic placement of these time references. He places his boldest time statements in both the introduction and conclusion to Revelation. It is remarkable that so many recent commentators have missed it literally coming and going! The statement of expectancy is found three times in the first chapter – twice in the first three verses: Revelation 1:1,3,19. The same idea is found four times in his concluding remarks: Revelation 22:6,7,12,20. It is as if John carefully bracketed the entire work to avoid any confusion." (The Beast of Revelation; Tyler, TX; ICE, 1982; p. 21-22).
"Think of it: If these words in these verses do not indicate that John expected the events to occur soon, what words could John have used to express such? How could he have said it more plainly?" (The Beast of Revelation; Tyler, TX; ICE, 1982; p. 24).
"It seems indisputably clear that the book of Revelation must be dated in the reign of Nero Caesar, and consequently before his death in June, A.D.68. He is the sixth king; the short-lived rule of the seventh king (Galba) "has not yet come." (Before Jerusalem Fell (Tyler, TX: ICE, 1989; 158.)
Ovid Need Jr.
Admittedly, there are good arguments for both an early and a later date of the Revelation. However, I believe Biblical evidence requires an early date, before 70AD. As an introductory statement, let me mention thatprophecy is from the time it is written, NOT FROM THE TIME IT IS READ.
A pre 70 AD date would make the purpose of the Revelation the same as was Isaiah's prophecy -- that is, to seethe faithful people of God through the extremely difficult times ahead as their then known world was going to be shaken to its very foundation by the judgment of God against Babylon. (Revelation: Date, Time and Purpose)
Ernest Renan
"It may be that, after the crisis of the year 68 (the date of the Apocalypse) and of the year 70 (the destruction of Jerusalem), the old Apostle, with an ardent and plastic spirit, disabused of the belief in a near appearance of the Son of Man in the clouds, may have inclined towards the ideas that he found around him, of which several agreed sufficiently well with certain Christian doctrines. " (Life of Jesus )
R.C. Sproul
Moses Stuart
"If now the number of the witnesses were the only thing which should control our judgment in relation to the question proposed, we must, so far as external evidence is concerned, yield the palm to those who fix upon the time of Domitian. But a careful examination of this matter shows, that the whole concatenation of witnesses in favour of this position hangs upon the testimony of Irenaeus, and their evidence is little more than a mere repetition of what he has said. Eusebius and Jerome most plainly depend on him; and others seem to have had in view his authority, or else that of Eusebius." (Ibid. 2:269..)
"I say this, with full recognition of the weight and value of Irenaeus's testimony, as to any matters of fact with which he was acquainted, or as to the common tradition of the churches. But in view of what Origen has said. . . , how can we well suppose, that the opinion of Irenaeus, as recorded in Cont. Haeres, V. 30 was formed in any other way, than by his own interpretation of Rev. 1:9. (1:281)
"Now it strikes me, that Tertullian plainly means to class Peter, Paul, and John together, as having suffered at nearly the same time and under the same emperor. I concede that this is not a construction absolutely necessary; but I submit it to the candid, whether it is not the most probable." (1 :284n.)
"It seems indisputably clear that the book of Revelation must be dated in the reign of Nero Caesar, and consequently before his death in June, A.D. 68. He is the sixth king; the short-lived rule of the seventh king (Galba) "has not yet come." (2:324)
"A majority of the older critics have been inclined to adopt the opinion of Irenaeus, viz., that it was written during the reign of Domitian, i.e., during the last part of the first century, or in A.D.95 or 96. Most of the recent commentators and critics have called this opinion in question, and placed the composition of the book at an earlier period, viz., before the destruction of Jerusalem." (A Commentary on the Apocalypse, 2 vols; Andover, MD: Allen, Morrill, and Wardwell, 1845; p. 1:263)
"The manner of the declaration here seems to decide, beyond all reasonable appeal, against a later period than about A.D.67 or 68, for the composition of the Apocalypse." (A Commentary on the Apocalypse, 2 vols; Andover, MD: Allen, Morrill, and Wardwell, 1845; p. 2:326)
Milton Terry
"It is therefore not to be supposed that the language, or style of thought, or type of doctrine must needs resemble those of other production of the same author .. the difference of language is further accounted for by the supposition that the apocalypse was written by the apostle at an early period of his ministry, and the gospel and epistles some thirty or forty years later." (Biblical Apocalyptics, p. 255)
"A fair weighing of the arguments thus far adduced shows that they all excepting the statement of Irenaeus, favor the early rather than later date. The facts appealed to indicate the times before rather than after the destruction of Jerusalem." (ibid.,258)
Now, there is no contention that Galatians and Hebrews were written before the destruction of Jerusalem, and, to say the least, the most natural explanation of the allusions referred to is to suppose that the Apocalypse was already written, and that Paul and many others of his day were familiar with its contents. Writers who cite passages from the apostolic fathers to prove the priority of the gospel of John are the last persons in the world who should presume to dispute the obvious priority of the Apocalypse of John to Galatians and Hebrews. For in no case are the alleged quotations of Gospel more notable or striking than these allusions to the Apocalypse in the New Testament epistles." (ibid.,260)
"The verb was seen is ambiguous and may be either it, referring to the Apocalypse, or he, referring to John himself." (Biblical Hermeneutics, p. 238)
C. Vanderwaal (1989)
"The book of Revelation presents a clear testimony to the churches in the first century. To be more specific, I am convinced that Revelation was written in the seventh decade of the first century – before the destruction of Jerusalem in the year 70, which Jesus talked about in Matthew 24." (Hal Lindsey and Bible Prophecy; St. Catharines, Ontario, Canada: Paideia Press, 1978; p. 12)
Otto Nordgreen
The majority of modern scripture scholars attribute late dates to the composition of the New Testament books in the form that we now have them. This is particularly true of the four Gospels. It is usually claimed that Mark was the first gospel written around A.D. 70. Matthew's composition is dated in the 80's, followed by Luke in the late 80's. The Gospel of John is given a composition date in the 90's.
One may be inclined to think, "So what! After all, regardless of the dates attributed to their composition, each book remains the written word of God because the Holy Spirit is the principal author. What does it matter?" Actually, it matters a great deal.
One naturally assumes that the proponents of late composition dates, men with academic degrees, base their conclusions on sound scholarship that is rooted in recent discoveries in History, Archeology, Patristics, Papyrology and other related fields. This is especially true because these scholars pride themselves on their "scientific" approach to biblical interpretation. Certainly, it would seem that their arguments must be buttressed by the data coming from objective research. Nothing could be further from the truth. Those supporting late authorship base their statements solely on the wobbly foundation of their own fanciful imaginations. Why is this so?
Late authorship fits conveniently into their first principles, which rejects the possibility of any reality that is beyond the scope of their personal experience. They make the limits of their finite intellects and narrow experiences the measure of God's activity in the world he created out of nothing. Thus accounts of miracles, the resurrection, claims that Jesus is God, the definition of his mission, the founding of the Church with its hierarchical authority, and statements attributed to Jesus cannot be part of what is the actual inspired word of God. Rather these "beliefs" are explained away as a late editing which merely reflects the tenets of Christians far removed from eyewitnesses and the actual words of Jesus. These claims, of course, have no documented foundation in any historical sense of the word. In order to support this evolutionary flight of fancy it is necessary to claim that the gospels had late compositions.
Starting from this faithless, secular viewpoint it is easy to understand why Mark was selected as the first gospel written and the source of Matthew and Luke. This is expedient because Mark lacks many of the "embellishments" found in Matthew and Luke, for example, the institution of the Church on Peter, and the miracles surrounding Jesus birth. Support is drawn from another fashionable invention the Q document, so called from the German word quelle, "source." "Q" is a hypothetical source from which it is claimed the Synoptic Gospels drew common material. There is no historical evidence that Q ever existed except, of course, in the fertile imaginations of revisionist scholars. The result of this foolishness is a whole system of biblical interpretation based on the myths fabricated by their creators who, themselves, have become the embodiment of the fable, The Emperor's New Clothes. In the fable of The Emperor's New Clothes, it required the uninhibited innocence of a child to proclaim, "The king is Nude!"
The resulting interpretations of many modern biblical scholars are so methodologically flawed that they should be the subjects of derision not serious study. Unfortunately, just as in the fable there were many that gawkishly admired the Emperor's invisible attire, so today there are many who fawn over these illusionary conclusions based on invisible data. At the college and university levels these speculations are taught with indiscriminate dogmatism. Woe to the inquiring student who dares to challenge these pronouncements! One is left to wonder if St. Paul foresaw these times when he prophesied: "For the time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching, but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own liking, and will turn away from listening to the truth and wander into myths" (2 Tim 4:4). Fortunately, amid this academic madness there are voices that are erxposing the nudity of much in modern biblical studies.
As it relates to the dating of New Testament books, the pioneering labor of John A. T. Robinson in his scholarly work Redating the New Testament is of great importance. He argues persuasively that all the books of the New Testament were written before 70 A.D. Modernists have refused to seriously investigate his scholarship, choosing instead to ignore it. However, Robinson's thesis provides a reasonable assumption of composition dates based on sound scholarship not ideological illusion.
Recently the scholarly work of the papyrologist, Carsten Peter Thiede, has received widespread notice. He persuasively argues that Matthew's Gospel is the account of an eyewitness to the events of Jesus' life. His pathfinding book written with Matthew D'Ancona, Eyewitness to Jesus, published in 1996, argues that the Magdalen Papyrus of St. Matthew's Gospel was written around A.D. 60.
Between Robinson and Thiede other persuasive voices have also challenged the late dating nonsense. Gunther Zuntz, the internationally recognized authority on Hellenistic Greek, assigned the date 40 A.D. as the most likely date of Mark's composition. Orchard and Riley in their book, The Order of the Synoptics, argue that Matthew was written in A.D. 43. Reicke's "Synoptic Prophecies on the Destruction of Jerusalem," in Studies in New Testament and Early Christian Literature: Essays in Honor of Allen P. Wikgren, 1972, give the years 50-64 A.D. for the composition of Matthew. Eta Linnemann's two works: Historical Criticism of the Bible: Methodology or Ideology? and Is There a Synoptic Problem? Rethinking the Literary Dependence of the First Three Gospels provide a piercing debunking of the myths of modern biblical scholarship. What makes her arguments so penetrating is the fact that she studied under Rudolf Bultmann and Ernst Fuchs.
Kenneth L. Gentry, Jr. in his doctoral dissertation, Before Jerusalem Fell: Dating the Book of Revelation, argues persuasively that John wrote the Book of Revelation before 70 A.D. David Chilton in his excellent commentary on the Book of Revelation, The Days of Vengeance, comes to the same conclusion. Dating of the Book of Revelation is important since even most revisionist scholars affirm that it was the last New Testament book written.
The impressive work of Claude Tresmontant, a distinguished scholar at the Sorbonne, confirms Robinson's thesis. He bases his arguments on language and archaeology. He points out, for example, that in John 5:2 that "there is [estin in Greek, not "was"] at Jerusalem, at the sheep gate, a pool named in Hebrew Bethzatha. It has five porticos." This makes no sense if Jerusalem was reduced to a heap of stones 25 or 30 years earlier. (See: Claude Tresmontant, The Hebrew Christ and The Gospel of Matthew.) Father Jean Carmignac of Paris also assigns early composition to the four Gospels. Carmignac, a philologist with exceptional skills in biblical Hebrew, was a noted scholar of the Dead Sea scrolls and the world's most renowned expert on the Our Father. His The Birth of the Synoptic Gospels is a lucid summary of his thesis.
As a result of the persuasive erudition of these and other scholars a shift is occurring away from the blind acceptance of late New Testament authorship. An example of this shift is reflected in Fr. George H. Duggan's fine article in the May 1997 issue of Homiletic & Pastoral Review titled: "The Dates of the Gospels." By the grace of God may this trend continue!

"When Revelation was revealed to John and written down for the Church to read and understand, it had an immediate impact. Christians were about to witness one of the most devastating judgments in history- the destruction of Jerusalem."
What do YOU think ?
How do you find a church that teaches this way in a particular area?
Why would you want to find a church that teaches the erroneous early dating of Revelation? Please see the first comment that follows the accompanying posting on the late dating of that book. Then start studying typology - first step, the slaying of the earthy and natural lambs (Ex. 12) typified the slaying of Christ, God's heavenly and spiritual Lamb. Follow that process through the entire history of OT, natural Israel (the nation's destruction in AD 70 was also an OT type requiring a NT fulfillment).
Once you've relied on God's typological guidance to understand the NT, instead of relying on your own and others' subjective and fallible personal opinions, you'll laugh at the countless, erroneous personal opinions about the NT that have been aired by "scholars" over the last 1,900 years - such as the inability to understand that a new, spiritual and eternal ISRAEL and a new, spiritual and eternal WORLD were created (via spiritual regeneration) in the first century - and the failure to understand the significance of the two ages of the old, natural world, separated by the universal flood, and the two ages of the old, natural Israel, separated by the Babylonian captivity - and the erroneous ideas that Christ's parousia either occurred during the destruction of Jerusalem and the temple in AD 70 or is yet in the future - and the equally erroneous ideas that first-century Jerusalem is the Babylon of the book of Revelation and that Nero is the first beast of Rev. 13 - and above all else the failure to comprehend the critically important role played by the satanic blasphemy of emperor worship in first-century prophetic fulfillment.
I don't see any necessary connection between an early dating of Revelation either dispensationalist or preterist interpretation. Ted in Dallas
Dispensationalists and preterists see natural war as the critical key to God's plan for mankind. The former have the bizarre idea that the 21st-century military adventures of the American Empire in the Middle East will result in the second coming of Christ. The latter have the bizarre idea that the 1st-century military adventures of the Roman Empire in the Middle East resulted in the second coming of Christ. Neither group can spiritually discern that Christ's 1st-century parousia (not in AD 70) involved spiritual warfare, specifically the young church's spiritual triumph over the usurping spiritual dominion (Dan. 7:26) of the Roman Empire. Of course, the popularity (and book sales) of the two groups depends on their ability to invent physical or natural "explanations" that will attract large numbers of spiritually blind people.

Manual's not too good, managed to wipe out the content (one measly cd ripped during the trip) after installing iTunes to another computer. Feel stupid, and it's not all because of lack of sleep. Have to look for additional info on the subject. Either on the software cd or web.
It's gonna take a while deploying favorite music on this.

Survey your garden and try to imagine it in spring and summer, and identify dead spots and relocate new perennial divisions to those.
Many of us in the Midwest are planting even more peonies than ever. These easy-care plants do have some problems. One is buds that never develop into blooms.
In the Midwest, May is the month when our bearded iris bloom, and they are often combined in beds with the multi-petaled peony, another May-flowering perennial.

Here's a few Kodak Moments that I'll bet Disneyland would rather soon forget.
Several blogs and news agencies are posting these photos of Disney characters being arrested during a protest rally this week at the Anaheim resort. Hotel workers there are demonstrating for a new contract that would allow for health care. It would be nice if "The Happiest Place on Earth" were also "The Healthiest."

Dell's Next-Gen Data Center Strategy Is a Winner
Apr 19, 2011 5:00 AM PT
Dell's announcement of new solutions and investments around its Virtual Era data center strategy provided clear insights into the company's future plans and direction. The new solutions include the following:
- vStart -- a virtual infrastructure solution delivered pre-assembled and ready to run up to 100 or 200 virtual machines (VMs) from a single management environment.
- Email and File Archive -- a preconfigured storage solution leveraging Symantec or CommVault backup and archiving software, and optional cloud or on-premises services as needed.
- Dell Desktop Virtualization Solutions -- a configured and tested desktop virtualization solution portfolio designed to support virtually any end-user computing device, anytime, anywhere.
Dell also plans to invest US$1 billion during the current fiscal year on cloud-based solutions, services and delivery options. During the next 24 months, it will build multiple highly efficient data centers to provide customers access to public and private cloud technologies and outsourcing services.
x86 and the Cloud's Rise
What does this all mean? First, consider that as x86-based systems came to dominate the server market over the past decade, they did so largely due to innovative virtualization technologies like VMware's vSphere. Why is that the case? Because without virtualization, the total cost of ownership of typically underutilized x86 systems would be unsustainable.
Along with driving up the efficiency and value of x86 technologies, however, virtualization is fundamental to the rise of cloud computing. Since the very beginning of the cloud phenomena, highly virtualized and integrated x86 systems have been the choice of cloud pioneers including Google, Amazon and Yahoo, and they constitute the primary architecture for most commercial cloud infrastructures.
What does this have to do with Dell's latest announcements? Among current major systems vendors, Dell is alone is focusing singularly on x86. It has tended to be at the forefront of driving new innovations and value for that architecture in the form of cloud and hyper-scale computing solutions. These newest products and planned services are simply logical extensions of those earlier efforts.
Pushing the Ball Forward
Consider vStart -- a system pre-architected, pre-integrated and pre-assembled to reliably deliver specifically sized VMware virtualization environments. vStart isn't magic -- any knowledgeable IT staff could put together the same combination of Dell servers, storage and networking solutions, load and configure them with VMware apps, and have 100 or 200 functioning VMs.
But at what cost in time and effort? Instead, for a flat fee, a pre-assembled vStart solution arrives fully racked and ready to plug into the customer's data center, accompanied by Dell service professionals who deploy and configure the system before turning it over to the client's IT staff.
vStart isn't the industry's first fully assembled enterprise system, but it is perfectly in line with Dell's long-time dedication to minimizing complexity and maximizing value for customers.
A similar approach is evident in the new Email and Archive and DDVS solutions, each of which support specific, increasingly painful and complex IT/business processes. Both complement (and leverage) other Dell offerings -- EqualLogic storage systems for the Email and File Archive, and hosted solutions, including virtual desktops, offered by Dell Services -- but both also push the ball significantly forward.
Trust Matters
Which also relates to Dell's planned cloud investments and global data center construction efforts. At one level, these new efforts will simply expand the hosting assets and facilities Dell gained in the 2009 acquisition of Perot Systems. However, it also seems to me that IT vendors including Dell may be tweaking their strategies to accommodate clients sensitive to cloud security, reliability and multitenancy issues.
The public buzz around cloud tends to focus on the role service providers will fill in supporting commercial public and hybrid clouds. To date, though, the vast majority of cloud deployments have occurred in large enterprises that already have the necessary financial, human and IT assets in place.
Many of these organizations are leery of trusting public cloud providers with business-critical data or IT processes, but they could feel differently if cloud services were offered by trusted vendors like Dell.
Overall, Dell's new Virtual Era solutions, cloud facilities and service efforts find the company at the forefront of evolving enterprise IT. That is a position the company has long been familiar with and one in which Dell is likely to continue to find considerable continuing success.

We have a 2002 Saturn L200 with 4 cyl. 2.2 motor. About a month ago we had problems with it accelerating and after believing the transmission was slipping and having it checked at a transmission shop found out the cat. Converter was plugged. We had that changed. It does run better but since then we are having problems with the way it runs. In drive at a light or stop sign it shakes back and forth and acts like it is going to die once it gets below 1000 rpm. The radiator fan runs from starting the engine to stopping it instead of kicking on and off like it should. The car comes off cold on the gauge on the dash almost as soon as you start it instead of taking a bit and it is now getting 14 mpg instead of the normal 22. We used 2 cans of sea-foam, one of which at a half tank to make it stronger and we also replaced the plugs which were fouled with carbon that built up with the converter plugged. We are also getting a lot of carbon black out of the tailpipe. I know this is a lot to take in but it makes no sense. I have talked to a couple of mechanics and car people about it but they are all stumped at what to try next. Any suggestions? Thanks!

String Yarns Monthly Style: Yin & Yang Sweater
Fashion trends constantly change, but one constant on the runway year after year are black and white designs. This year graphics are also very high on the list. Top fashion designers all have differing opinions on what's hot, but everyone agrees that "Black and White" is here to stay.
In the Fall 2015 issue of Vogue Knitting, Trisha Malcolm writes, "Black and White have been tempting us for a few seasons now, and I don't see our infatuation with this color combination changing anytime soon. We love the play of these two high-contrast shades."
Inspired by Valentino's black and white collection, Lidia Karabinech created a flattering silhouette with her newest "Yin and Yang" sweater. Contrast colors of black and white were placed in such a way to ensure your figure looks its best.
Soft-edged panel insets of black and white seem to float on the body creating a very feminine and modern look. The wave of white continues throughout the sleeve creating a flowing movement from start to finish. Our monthly Tutorial Video will show you how to achieve a seamless transition of color by working Intarsia on the body. The sleeves use the color block method so that you will breeze through those.
With this garment, we let the graphic do the talking and planned it over a classic silhouette. The very sophisticated and chic design perfectly matches our Filatti Biagioli Modesto 100% Cashmere DK. We show it with a turtleneck, but you can make the neck as short or tall as you like.
The classic, monochromatic world of black and white fashion is totally timeless and easily blends into any existing wardrobe. As Vogue Knitting states, "Black and White throws any pattern into high focus." Check out The Knitter's Guide to Wearing Black & White from the String Yarns Blog for an in-depth review of the black and white phenomenon.

China data could spark sharemarket
The Australian sharemarket is expected to start the week in flat territory following modest gains in the US on Friday.
But the release of Chinese economic growth figures on Monday for June and the June quarter could end up being a strong market mover.
On Wall Street, the S&P 500 finished about 0.3 per cent higher on Friday, the Dow Jones Industrial Average was flat and the tech-rich Nasdaq Composite Index closed 0.61 per cent higher.
In futures trading in Australia on the ASX 24, the September share price index futures contract was pointing to a slight gain on Monday, trading 14 points stronger at 4950.
The ASX200 Index of Australia's largest companies had a good week last week, posting gains of an average 2.7 per cent.
CommSec chief economist Craig James said the futures trading indicated Australia might play ''follow the leader'' to the US. Higher base metals prices might help the Australian market, while the spot iron ore price was up above $US125 ($136.88) a tonne on Friday.
''Those Chinese GDP figures include economic growth, production, retail spending and the like and can be a real market turner,'' Mr James said.

Yes, that was a football reference. Deal with it. You're reading the works of none other than the main editor/writer for Razzball fantasy football so some pigskin is gonna leak over no matter what I do. But more to the point, I've been bringing the Discount Double Check series to you this pre-season in the hopes we can find some potential sleepers for 2013 fantasy baseball and what better way to do that then to revisit a former Grey love in Lorenzo Cain. Grey really wouldn't leave this man alone in 2012. At some point I'm sure he got addicted to Cain...SUGAR! The fact he didn't land on Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew is a bit surprising as he was snorting lines of confectionery by late March. At least that's what he told me when I asked about the white powder caking his nose. But back to the point, we're here today to look at Lorenzo and see if his current ADP of 196 is warranted or if he's going at a discount for 2013 fantasy baseball...The post Discount Double Check: Lorenzo Cain appeared first on Fantasy Baseball Blog at Razzball.com.

A Stat That Should Scare Kansas Fans
If Kansas fans turned off their TVs in disgust at halftime of the Jayhawks' Final Four comeback win over Ohio State on Saturday, they should have known better. KU hasn't led at halftime since its NCAA tournament opener, against Detroit Mercy, which it led 34-24. Since then the Jayhawks have trailed Purdue by six, NC State by 1, been tied with North Carolina and trailed the Buckeyes by nine. Add up the first 20 minutes of the five Kansas games in this NCAA tournament, and the Jayhawks are losing by six points – which makes them a shocking NCAA finalist.
Of course, the Jayhawks did go on to play the full 40 minutes each time, and they made up for their slow starts with dominating finishes. Still, Kansas has a most unusual profile for an NCAA finalist. Kentucky is far more typical, having led each of its games by halftime. And typically, the finalist that's done better in the first half of its first five games wins the final – not necessarily because starting fast is a virtue, but more likely because the best teams are best in any arbitrary 20-minute stretch.

History of
CITY Of MASON
From History of Ingham and Eaton Counties, Michigan
by Samuel W. Durant
Published 1880 by D.W. Ensign & Co., Philadelphia
"Memories of Mason"
A vintage photograph album
The first settler at Mason, or in what is now the township of Vevay,
was Lewis LACEY, who came here in February or March, 1836, to build
a saw-mill for Noble & Co., of Monroe, and to chop twenty acres
on section 8. Upon the completion of the sawmill,
Mr. DANFORTH was elected one of the first associate judges for Ingham County in 1838, and was re-elected in 1842. He was twice elected to the State Senate, and in 1848 was appointed by the governor and Senate a commissioner to lay out and construct a State road from the village of Mason to Lansing. In 1850 he was a delegate to the convention which framed the present constitution of the State. While a member of the Senate he, together with Hon. Joseph H. KILBOURNE, of the House, worked with untiring zeal to secure the location of the State capital at Lansing, and is well known, their labors were crowned with success.
In 1850, Mr. DANFORTH sold his interest in the village of Mason and removed to Lansing, where he died, Aug. 17, 1853. He was engaged in the milling business in the latter city, and during his residence in the county was one of its most useful and prominent citizens.

Marcus WHITNEY,
Daniel L. CASE
Oliver GRIFFIN,
Amos E. STEELE
William H. CLARK,
Minos McROBERT
George W. SHAFER,
When Mr. SHAFER came the frame of the hotel was up, on the southeast corner of Ash and B Streets, opposite the court-house square. He purchased it the same year (1839), finished it during the fall and winter, and became its land-lord as soon as it was completed. It was known as the "Mason Exchange," and was the first regular hotel in the place. It was a two-story building, and was kept by Mr. SHAFER about ten years; he built an addition to it in 1847. The second proprietor of the house was Isaac HORTON. H.J. DONNELLY was one of its later proprietors. the building was finally moved to the eastern part of the city, where some one set fire to it and burned it down.
The first man who entertained travelers in the place was James BLAIN, whose log house was an approach to a hotelry. It stood in the middle of the road, about at the southwest corner of what is now R.F. GRIFFIN's place, and was a resort for land-lookers and immigrants generally on their way to other localities. It was torn down in the fall of 1842. James BLAIN and his son David afterwards built and kept as a tavern the house subsequently owned by Amos E. STEELE, and now occupied as a dwelling by the widow of the latter. James BLAIN exchanged his property in Mason for the farm of Mr. STEELE, in the township of Onondaga, to which he removed; he and his wife are both now deceased.
George W. SHAFER married in 1842 to a sister of Wright HORTON, the latter having also married a sister of Mr. SHAFER. The HORTON's had come to the place in the fall of 1838, and settled on a farm in what is now the northern portion of the city. Mrs. SHAFER thinks that there were three frame buildings in Mason, viz.,- Dr. McROBERT's office, and the dwellings of E.B. DANFORTH, and nathaniel BLAIN, - the latter then occupied by Hiram CONVERSE. Mr. BLAIN, who was a brother of James BLAIN, removed subsequently to Jefferson village, in the township of Alaiedon. Wright HORTON, whose wife died here, lived on his farm about thirty years, and is now residing in Kansas. Several of his children also died here.
Rosalvo F. GRIFFIN,
Perry HENDERSON,
Peter LINDERMAN and William H. HORTON, who are mentioned at length in the history of Vevay township as having settled respectively in 1836 and 1837, were both within what are now the city limits, having resided on farms north of the then village.
John RAYNER,
A post-office was established at Mason in the summer of 1838, with E.B. DANFORTH as postmaster. An office had previously (probably in the same year) been established at Leslie, and Mr. DANFORTH employed William H. HORTON to carry the mail from the latter place to Mason, making the trip once a week. Mr. HORTON performed that labor for six months, carrying it at first in a handkerchief, and afterwards in an old coffee-sack, following the trail between the two places. He received one dollar and twenty-four cents for each trip, making the return journey the same day. In six months the mail had increased in amount to half a bushel, and it was then necessary to use a conveyance. The postmasters have been, since Mr. DANFORTH, William HAMMOND, John W. PHELPS, Peter LINDERMAN, D.B. HERRINGTON, Frank SIGFRIED, and F.T. ALBRIGHT, the latter having held the office since 1867. It is possible that Hiram CONVERSE was also an early postmaster here, and that the forgoing list may not mention all in their order; but it is from the best recollection of those who should know.
VILLAGE and CITY INCORPORATION
The village of Mason was incorporated by act of the Legislature, March 9, 1865, including the southwest quarter of the southwest quarter of section 4; the south half of the southeast quarter of section 5; the east half of the southeast quarter of section 8; the northeast quarter of section 8; the northwest quarter of section 9; and the west half of the southwest quarter of section 9. The charter was amended Feb. 27, 1867, and March 25, 1871.
The first village election was held March 27, 1865, - John DUNSBACK and Perry
HENDERSON, Inspectors, and Henry LINDERMAN, Clerk. Thirty-six votes were
cast, and the following officers were elected:
The officers of the village from 1866 to 1875, inclusive, were as follows:
In 1875 the city of Mason was incorporated with two wards, including sections 4, 5,, 8, and 9, in the township of Vevay. The first city election was held April 5, 1875, when the following officers were chosen:
The present Mason City band was organized in 1878, and in 1879 was incorporated
under the State law. The instruments, of the style known as "helicon," are
those in use at the organization, and number fifteen. The band is very neatly
uniformed, in military style. For a considerable number of years a band has
existed in Mason, but none so complete in its workings as the present one.
The officers of the association are:
A meeting for the purpose of organizing a military company was held at the court-house in Mason, May 13, 1876, when the following resolution, offered by John C. SQUIERS, was unanimously adopted:
"Resolved, That we hereby organize ourselves into a Independent Military Company, to be mustered into the State service as soon as the Governor will accept the same."
The names signed to the roll numbered forty-eight, and the organization was perfected the same evening. May 20 the following civil officers were elected:
The company was disbanded as an independent company Jan. 20, 1877, but on the 8th of May, in the same year, pursuant to an act of the Legislature authorizing the raising of a company in its place, it was reorganized, and enlisted in the State service May 15, 1877. Alonzo CHENEY was elected Captain; J.C. SQUIERS, First Lieutenant; and L.A. HOLDEN, Second Lieutenant. The company received the letter "K," and was assigned to the First Regiment, Michigan State Troops, of which organization it is now a part. It is fully equipped, and armed with the State weapon, the Sharps military rifle. The armory for some time has been in the hall over M.W. TANNER's store, but will be transferred to the new opera-house upon its completion. The present membership is seventy-eight, and the officers are:
The company is well drilled, and is one of the largest in the State service. Several of its members saw actual service during the war of the Rebellion.

From article in the Ingham County News, 1875:
"In the fall of 1841, O. GRIFFIN came to Mason with fourty dollars' worth of leather, for which he had run in debt, and began work as a shoemaker. At the first, Judge DANFORTH and H.H. SMITH used to go close to his shop and peep in to see whether he was civilized or not, but they did not dare to enter, fearing that he was another barney MOON. But his good qualities must soon have become apparent, for by the first day of January, 1842, by borrowing three dollars of John RAYNER, he succeeded in doubling his money. In the following year, R.F. GRIFFIN, son of O. GRIFFIN, came to Mason and assisted his father in his work. After them, GRIFFIN & Son continued in the business fourteen years. In 1850 came J.L. HUNTINGTON and sons, and again, in 1858, G.W. POLAR."
An ordinance providing for organizing a fire department was passed by the village council, July 29, 1867, and a hook-and-ladder company was organized, and wagons and buckets procured. The ordinance was repealed march 21, 1870, after which the company was disbanded, and the implements and appurtenances were ordered into the care of the marshal, to be used in case of fire. The city is now without a regular department.
Having secured the consent of the county, the village caused an artesian well to be sunk in the court-house yard, near the west entrance, in 1870-71. This well, which is 676 feet deep, was bored by James A. STEVENS, and cost $1200. From it flows a constant stream, which is conducted (the waste) into Sycamore Creek through a tile-drain laid in the summer of 1880. The waters from this well are strongly impregnated with iron and other mineral substances, and are beneficial in numerous disorders of the human system.
A fine brick opera-house is being erected the present season (fall of 1880) by the Messrs. RAYNER, and when completed will add one more to the already large number of fine structures in the place. Its location is central, and the public spirit of the builders will cause, in its erection, another thrill of pleasure in the hearts of the inhabitants of the place. Its cost will be about $10,000.

Reading is not only the work of students every one of us reads. In fact, reading is a way of relaxing and enhancing knowledge. But not all are free enough to spend time to read, and this is where you need to know how to read more at less time. Here are few tips to read effectively in lesser time. Here we go with easy ways for less time more study….
Know the difference between random reading and reading page-to-page:
There are only a few things that you need to read top to bottom. Unless you are preparing for something important, you need not waste time on reading right from the preface to the end of the page. Many of the things that you read can be read in quick time. In fact, many of the articles can easily be read and grasped by eye reading. Differentiate between what need thorough reading and what needs eye catching. When you can do this, you will read more and more.
If you are all set to read voluminous books such as non-fictions or magazine /newspaper articles, the best thing would be to know what it has. Previewing is best way to know what the content is. When you preview a book, you are in fact saving more than 30 percent of your time. It will assist you in guessing what the book or article is all about.
Read extra by reading lesser:
Try to focus on obtaining the utmost possible information that too in as lesser time as possible. Glide through a para and chop it down as much as possible. Be ruthless while reading. Ignore all the unwanted things and read only such things that matter a lot. Cut down wherever possible and depend more on meaningful reading.
Know the central theme:
Every book and all the readings have one central plot or idea. When you set out to read anything, try to know the core theme at the earliest time possible so that you don't waste your time on reading unwanted things. Many times all the articles will let you know what the article is all about in the intro itself. So if you feel it is your cup of tea go for it or else you can skip it.
Cut cut and cut:
The more you know where to cut reading and where to continue with, the more you can read. Almost all the reports and readings have nearly half of unwanted stuff in them. So the simplest way to get more info in lesser time is to go for hasty reading and find out which is important and which is not.
Don't read word by word:
Reading this way is nothing but wasting. Instead of this, try to read more words at a time. The more you become familiar with this, the more time you will save.

A couple of months ago I added red lentils to our shopping list for a soup that I was making. Philip took that list, went to the shops and returned with green lentils (or French lentils as I now know they are also called), after checking with trusty Chef Google and finding out that green lentils really weren't appropriate for my tomato soup, I put the box on the kitchen shelf and vowed to look up some green lentil recipes.
Then last week (yes, I know it took me ages), I stumbled across a salad that sounded divine. I've made quite a few changes (I really can't help myself) and so the Lentil and Couscous Salad was born.
I know it probably doesn't sound very appealing, but trust me it is delicious. It is also really rather easy to put together, like most salads there are a few ingredients, but only the couscous and lentils need cooking – everything else is just chopped and chucked in a bowl. Plus you can make your own salad dressing in approximately 45 seconds, which works perfectly.
Now, this will work if the lentils and couscous are warm, but it is at its best if they are cold. If you want the entire dish to be cold, make sure you cook them at least two hours before preparing the rest of the salad.
- 1 cup couscous
- ½ cup dry French green lentils
- 2½ cups water
- 1 red onion
- 2 Roma tomatoes
- ½ Tbsp parsley
- ½ Tbsp coriander
- ¼ cup feta cheese
- ⅓ cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 2 Tbsp olive oil
- 1 shallot
- 1 tsp Garlic Salt (or ½ tsp salt and ½ tsp garlic granules)
- Lentils: Put the lentils in a saucepan with 1½ cups of water - don't let your lentils boil dry, if you need to add more water, just add more hot water. Bring the lentils to the boil, then let them simmer for 20 minutes. Once they are ready, drain your lentils, sprinkle in 1 tsp of garlic salt. Do not add salt to the lentils while they are cooking as it will toughen them and make them very unpleasant to eat. Give the lentils a good stir then cover and put to one side to cool.
- Couscous: This is the way I make couscous - if you want to follow the instructions on your packet, then that is fine too! Put the cup of couscous into a bowl and add 1 cup of boiling water. Give it a soft stir to ensure that the couscous is covered in water. Cover the bowl (a tea towel works fine) and leave it to absorb. After 10 minutes all the water should have been absorbed. Using a fork, gently stir the couscous to break up any clumps that have formed. Then cover and leave to one side to cool.
- The Dressing: Mince or very finely slice the shallot (it isn't worth losing a finger over, so if there are some bigger chunks in the pile, just go with it) place it in a bowl with the lemon juice and olive oil. Mix it all together and you're done. When I first made this I actually added much less lemon juice than the recipe stated, as I thought it would be too much. I was wrong. The lemon juice goes perfectly with the couscous and lentils and really makes the salad fresh and tasty.
- The Salad: Dice the red onion and tomato. Then finely chop the parsley and coriander. Into a large bowl add the salad ingredients, couscous and lentils. Pour in the salad dressing and give everything a good mix. Crumble the feta on top and then tuck in!

I wanted to quickly touch on a creative way you can go about expanding your exposure to hopefully get that "shot" at playing pro.
I have to admit that it's far from a "full-proof" plan, but with all the players out there available for teams to sort through, most players need all of the exposure that they can get.
Related: Bet You Didn't Know NFL Scouts Look for Some of this Stuff…
The method is simple in principle, but it may be a little more difficult to execute.
"OK, get to it, Alvin."
OK, here it is.
I'm talking about finding a way to workout with notable names that either currently, or formerly played in the NFL.
It's far from a sure shot, but it might be able to help you if you link-up with the right player.
Marques Clark's Story
It happened for Marques Clark who, at 28-years-old, got a shot with the New Orleans Saints by working out with Drew Brees.
In the off season, Drew Brees trains at the high school where he served (or serves, not sure if he's still there) as an assistant coach for Westfield High School in San Diego.
Related: Football Offseason Workout Program – Strength Training Fundamentals Every Player Should Know – Part One
The man was 28 years old, and had no pro football experience whatsoever.
He played at little-bitty Henderson State, and had actually given up on his chance to play pro a long time ago.
Related: Division 3 Football Players in the NFL
After working out with Brees for a few years, Brees went to the director of pro scouting with the Saints, as well as the Saints' backup quarterbacks talking about Marques.
After getting an endorsement from Brees, he ended up getting a tryout and got signed to attend training camp in 2012.
Now figuring out how to workout with NFL guys is something you'll have to figure out on your own.
Social media and email addresses makes it a lot easier to get in contact with the right people nowadays, so keep this in-mind; you never know what opportunity lies ahead for you.
What other "untraditional" ways of getting exposure can you think of?

Dele Alli penalty helps Tottenham down Southampton
Premier League, White Hart Lane - Tottenham Hotspur 2 (Eriksen 14, Alli pen 33) Southampton 1 (Ward-Prowse 52)
Tottenham tightened their grip on second spot in the Premier League with a 2-1 home win over Southampton.
Spurs were without the injured Harry Kane but took only fourteen minutes to open the scoring, with Christian Eriksen cutting in from the right and slotting into the far corner after a smart turn from Moussa Dembele.
Alli doubled the lead from the penalty spot later in the first half having won the spot-kick himself when Southampton repeatedly failed to clear their lines.
The Saints rallied after the break and James Ward-Prowse marked his first England call-up with a goal but his side were unable to find another and created few chances despite Tottenham playing poorly in the second half.
The win means Spurs stay second are ten points behind Chelsea but, crucially, seven clear of Manchester United in fifth. Southampton meanwhile remain 10th.
Tottenham pass first test without Kane. Southampton went into this match in good form, having won their last two league games scoring eight goals, so it wasn't an easy for start for the Kane-free Spurs but they got by. Son, who came in for Kane, squandered a couple of good chances but looked a threat. In his absence Tottenham need big displays from their other attackers and today Eriksen delivered.
Tottenham's Christian Eriksen celebrates scoring their first goalReuters
Christian Eriksen (Tottenham Hotspur). He opened the scoring with a nice finish and was the home's side best source of chances, impressing with his vision and range of passing. Stepped up just when his team needed someone to.
14' – GOAL! Tottenham 1-0 Southampton (Eriksen). Eriksen comes in from the right and from outside the box slots a left-footed shot past Forster into the bottom corner.
32' – PENALTY! Some pinball in the Saints box is brought to an end by Davis catching Alli late to give away a spot kick!
33' – GOAL! Tottenham 2-0 Southampton (Alli). Alli steps up himself and goes straight down the middle to double Tottenham's lead, with Forster having dived to his left early.
45+2' – PENALTY APPEAL! Rather than cross, Ward-Prowse lays the ball off for Bertrand who wasn't expecting it but Cedric recovers and stings Lloris' palms with a fierce shot from range. Tadic is taken out by Davis looking to get to the rebound but the referee doesn't award a penalty.
52' – GOAL! Tottenham 2-1 Southampton (Ward-Prowse). Bertrand's cross should be easy for Alderwiereld to deal with but he misses it entirely and the ball runs to Ward-Prowse at the back post who chests before firing home.
Tottenham Hotspur: Lloris 6, Walker 6, Dier 6, Alderweireld 6, Vertonghen 6, Davies 6, Wanyama 7, Dembele 7, Dele 6, Eriksen 7, Son 6. Subs: Trippier 6, Winks 7, Janssen 6.
Southampton: Forster 5, Cedric 6, Stephens 6, Yoshida 6, Bertrand 6, Romeu 6, Davis 5, Ward-Prowse 6, Tadic 5, Redmond 5, Gabbiadini 6. Subs: Long 5, Boufal 5, Rodriguez 5
Tottenham's Victor Wanyama in action with Southampton's Dusan TadicReuters
Tottenham have won ten home Premier League games on the bounce – a club record.
Alli has scored four goals in three games versus Southampton, and also netted in each of his last four games.
Spurs have won eight of the last ten meetings between these two.

This audiovisual discusses the stigma that is faced by people diagnosed with lung cancer. Emerging evidence shows that lung cancer patients, more so than those with other cancers, may feel stigmatised by their disease. The main message is to encourage people to understand that all people diagnosed with cancer, regardless of what type, need support and understanding to survive their disease.

About Austria
Did You Know…
When you think of Austria, there's the music, art, architecture, the Austrian Alps, the spectacular scenery, the images and sounds from the "Sound of Music", or is it Arnold Schwarzenegger "The Terminator" saying "I'll be back!" or…
These are some of the things we normally associate with Austria but, did you know that:
Austria – As A World Stage: Although known world-wide for its music, architecture and of course skiing; Austria and Vienna in specific, is the home of the third highest concentration of UN related offices, with 15. Among which are the (IAEAC) International Atomic Energy Agency Commission, which is the world's central intergovernmental forum for scientific and technical nuclear cooperation and is now deeply involved in the issues associated with the Fukushima Nuclear Accident in Japan. Another is the seat of the UN Office for Outer Space Affairs, which is responsible for promoting the peaceful uses of outer space. OPEC, the organization dedicated to the stability of the petroleum markets also has its headquarters in Vienna as do many of Austria's major corporations. During the Cold War, Austria was an important go between East and West and that role certainly has expanded with the dropping of the Iron Curtain and the opening of the borders. This in itself could be considered the best of Austria.
Contributors to the World: Austria was home to Sigmund Freud, the founder of Psychoanalysis and the famous, or infamous to some, "Freudian slip". Among other noteworthy Austrians are: Ferdinand Porsche, of automobile fame and Christian Doppler, most famous for describing what is now called the Doppler effect, the science that brought about, among other inventions, the Doppler radar, which plays a major part in our storm forecasting. Another noted scientist is Anton Zeilinger, who is known as the first scientist to demonstrate quantum teleportation. Viktor Frankl, is a world renowned psychiatrist and author of Man's Search for Meaning. Other outstanding Austrian-born émigrés include the world-renowned management thinker, Peter Drucker and the 38th Governor of California, the (ex) Honorable Arnold Schwarzenegger, who is immortalized by these famous words: "I'll be back" from his Terminator movies. Interestingly, a number of these luminaries, including Mozart, come from the Salzburg area. Perhaps it's the fresh mountain air or the many clear mountain springs and lakes. Who knows? I may have had this same influence passed along to me. Is this the best of Austria?
Today's Energy Drink Purveyor: Red Bull, the world's preeminent energy drink distributor and sponsor of all things fast and adrenalin pumping comes from Austria sponsors Formula 1 teams, other sports car teams, air plane races, etc. You name an adrenalin pumping sport and Red Bull is there sponsoring it. Red Bull has its headquarters in a very scenic part of the Austria; in the small village of Fuschl am See, located in the state of Salzburg.
Austria and Wine: Perhaps not so well known around the world, is Austria's wine production, which can be traced back almost 4,000 years. There are somewhere around 20,000 mostly smaller wine producing estates in Austria, many of whose financial existence is based on selling the wine directly on the premises. The proliferation of wine estates is largely due to a decree passed in 1784 that allowed a person to sell his or her own wine out of their own house, without having to have a dedicated license to do so. Austria's wine region is situated primarily in the Eastern part of the country, with Vienna being in the midst of it. Today white wines make up approximately 70% of its production.
Vienna and Coffee: One of the benefits coming out of the wars and eventual defeat of the Ottoman Empire at the Battle of Vienna was the coffee brought into the area by the Ottoman armies. The Viennese in turn have turned coffee into an art form and are now well known for their Vienna Coffee and "kafés" (Coffee Houses). Do stop in one or two and indulge in the coffee and perhaps a slice of Sacher Torte.
Swarovski Crystal: Near Innsbruck in Tyrol is the town of Watten and headquarters of Swarovski Crystal, the manufacturer of some of the finest crystal ware in the world. Originally started in Bohemia, which was then part of the Austro-Hungarian empire and now part of the Czech Republic, Daniel Swarovski, the founder moved manufacturing to Watten, Austria in 1895 to take advantage of the hydro-electric power required by his newly patented crystal cutting and polishing machine. Today, the Swarovski Crystal products, are known for their fine jewelry quality and include; crystal glass sculptures and miniatures, jewelry and couture , home decor, and chandeliers . Swarovski subsidiaries focus on related products such as optics and the company also has partnerships with electronic giants such as Phillips. When in or near Wattens, a visit to the Crystal World Museum (Kristallwelten) is a must.
Austria and Green Energy: With nearly 25% of the primary energy consumption coming from renewable energy sources, Austria is considered one of the leaders in renewable energy production and technology. In fact, it is expected that the share of energy generated from renewable sources is expected to rise to 34% by 2020. A great example of these types of efforts is the town of Gussing, a previously dying, down trodden town near the Hungarian border and the former Iron curtain. In 1988, because of the cost of fossil fuels and its dire economic situation, it decided to embark on a journey to become fossil fuel independent and in 1990, the town's council made a decision to become 100% fossil fuel independent. Today it has achieved that and with it created some 50 new enterprises with over 1,000 jobs supporting that industry. In addition it is a magnet for a number of new related industries and an example of what can be done when a community looks forward and works together. There are a number of other similar projects in Austria, especially in its southern part where the temperatures are a bit more moderate and there are more hours of sunshine to enjoy.
So what is the best of Austria? Is it the music, it's famous sons, its architecture, the Swarovskis or Red Bulls, the images and sounds from the "Sound of Music", or… For such a small country its contribution to the world is manifold, and besides it is a wonderful place to visit and take in its spectacular Alpine setting and historic places like Vienna and Salzburg.
One Response to "About Austria"
i find your country amazing, im going there soon.

One of the many reasons our killer Captain EO home theater setup hasn't become a reality yet is because even with more than a few kinds of 3D HDTV equipment on shelves, there's no standard that guarantees that next Hannah Montana Blu-ray disc will be able to take advantage of it. The SMPTE hopes to change all of that, establishing a task force (has anyone asked the 3D@Home Consortium how they feel about it?) with the mandate of creating a standard for 3D "content distributed via broadcast, cable, satellite, packaged media and the Internet and played-out on televisions, computer screens and other tethered displays". The Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers are the fine people behind nearly every way you currently experience AV at home, so after the inaugural meeting August 19 and six months to create a report (EE Times notes actually setting a standard could take 18-30 months, so don't move the furniture yet), really all that's left is to explain our Michael Jackson infatuation.
