LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Former Chicago Bulls basketball star Scottie Pippen will not be prosecuted over an altercation with a man at a Malibu restaurant in June, prosecutors said on Tuesday, citing insufficient evidence.
Pippen, 47, was questioned by police following a scuffle with the man outside the Nobu eatery in the oceanfront community of Malibu in June.
Camran Shafighi told police that Pippen refused to take a photograph with him while the former NBA star was dining in the restaurant with his family, according to a report by the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office.
Shafighi said that when he later approached Pippen in the parking lot, the former athlete spit in his face, punched him in the mouth, knocked him down and kicked him in the face, causing him to lose consciousness, the report from prosecutors said.
Shafighi later sued Pippen over the confrontation.
Pippen, a seven-time NBA All-Star, told police that Shafighi spit at him first and he spit back, and that he then pushed Shafighi, who fell back and started kicking at him, according to the prosecutors' report. Pippen told police he raised his foot to block the blows from Shafighi.
There is "insufficient evidence to prove beyond a reasonable doubt" that Pippen is guilty of committing a crime against Shafighi, the District Attorney's Office report said.
Shafighi, who was hospitalized after the scuffle, had a blood alcohol content of 0.18, which was more than twice the legal limit for driving, according to the report.
There was also an "absolute lack of physical injuries" that one would expect from the blows Shafighi told investigators that Pippen inflicted on him, and his behavior at the hospital was described by a physician as "feigning non-existent injuries inflicted by a celebrity suspect," the prosecutors report said.
Shafighi's attorney did not return calls seeking comment.
Pippen won six National Basketball Association championships with the Chicago Bulls in the 1990s, playing alongside basketball great Michael Jordan. He also played for the Houston Rockets and Portland Trail Blazers before ending his career back in Chicago in the 2003-04 season.
He was inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame in 2010.

Head over to Broker, and visit the hospital off of Cassidy Street. You'll meet up with John Gravelli here, who is still bed-ridden in his well-protected hospital room. He has yet another task for you, since he's so impressed with your first foray into working with him. Do you remember the North Korean counterfeiter who we helped smuggle money into the States earlier? Well, John Gravelli isn't too pleased with him, and he wants him dead. After telling Niko where he can find this guy, you'll be out on your way.
Your destination is an Asian restaurant in Alderney. Once you boost a car, your GPS will give you the quickest route to your destination. You'll likely be crossing the Algonquin Bridge heading westward over Colony Island. Then, the Booth Tunnel will bring you westward from Algonquin to your destination borough, Alderney. Head to the north end of the borough, to a small street off of Lyndon Avenue. You'll know you're at your destination because the restaurant has a huge, quite obvious red façade.
Walk on in unarmed and speak with the host of the restaurant. When Niko asks about Kim, his Korean mark, the host tells Niko to go away. Ignore the left side of the restaurant—the right side of the restaurant, near the stairs leading up to the second floor is of prime interest. When you approach this area, however, the host will pull a pistol and begin firing on you. Do yourself a favor and kill him before he even pulls a gun. Naturally, either way (whether you shoot first or he does), all of his cohorts will know you're in the building as soon as the guns begin firing. So, work your way into the room with the staircase and begin firing at foes coming down the stairs. You should also attempt to thin out the enemies on the second floor before heading up there, which will make your life much, much easier once you go up there yourself.
You'll no doubt notice that the enemies here have plenty of cover to utilize, so you should use that same cover when you're being fired upon yourself. Make sure to pick of the varying weapons your enemies will drop when slain (such as Uzis and assault rifles), and work your way towards the turquoise dot on your HUD, which represents the restaurant's manager. When you bust into his office, hold a gun to him but don't fire... at least until the manager gives up Kim's location, which will show up on the HUD thereafter. Once he shows up, you'll need to work your way through the kitchen and out the back door, down some stairs (kill enemies en route if you desire). Kim will take off in a car, and you'll have to chase him and kill him. Even though there's a motorcycle nearby, you'll want to grab a car, since you can command the slow-moving car into a wall and shoot Kim to death before he gets very far. Once he's slain, the mission concludes.

RICHMOND TWP. - A Mohnton man was pulled from his burning pickup truck by a passing motorist after a four-car crash on Route 222 around 1:30 p.m. Monday, police said.
According to a press release from Fleetwood Borough Police, the accident occurred as southbound traffic was slowing due to congestion south of Dietrich Court on Kutztown Road/Route 222. A 2004 Mack dump truck, driven by Raymond T. Jones, 46, of Telford, rear-ended a 2006 Mazda Sedan, driven by Nick Davrados, 32, of Fleetwood, police said. Davrados was transporting a 1-year-old girl in his car, according to police.
The impact of the crash caused the Mazda to be pushed into the northbound traffic of Route 222, where it stopped, police said.
The Mack dump truck then hit the rear of a 2006 GMC pickup truck driven by Jonathan Martin, 38, of Mohnton, causing Martin's vehicle to hit the back of a 2007 Freightliner dump truck driven by Wanda Davila, 45, of Bethlehem, police said. The pickup truck then caught fire, police said.
A good Samaritan who stopped to help after the crash pulled Martin from the burning pickup truck, police said.
After hitting the pickup truck, the Mack dump truck traveled halfway down an embankment before it overturned on its left side on a berm, police said. Jones, the dump truck driver, was trapped and had to be rescued by responding firefighters, police said.
Jones, Davrados and the 1-year-old in Davrados' vehicle were taken to Lehigh Valley Hospital for treatment after the crash, police said. Martin was taken to Reading Hospital for treatment, police said. Davila was not injured in the crash.
Police said all injuries were minor.
Assisting Fleetwood police at the scene was the Virginville, Walnuttown, Lyons and Kutztown fire departments; Kutztown, Schuylkill Valley and Muhlenberg EMS, and fire police from multiple counties.

World of Warplanes has revealed a new unique line of carrier-based aircraft for its US tech tree. The new tech includes the Grumman F2, Chance Vought F5U and Vought F7U Cutlass fighters, and the Brewster F2A Buffalo, the first biplane fighters with retractable undercarriage and several others. Check them out in the new screenshots and video below.
World of Warplanes Carrier-Based Aircraft Take To The Skies
22 June 2012 Wargaming, the award-winning global video game developer and publisher, today introduced US carrier-based aircraft - a unique line of warplanes to fight in the virtual skies of the highly anticipated flight combat MMO World of Warplanes.
The US tech tree features nine iconic carrier-based aircraft from the United States Navy, including the Grumman F2F and Brewster F2A Buffalo, the first biplane fighters with retractable undercarriage, as well as the boldly designed Chance Vought F5U and Vought F7U Cutlass fighters, both of which pioneered the use of turbojet power. Other WWII-famed carrier-based aircraft, such as F4F Wildcat, F4U Corsair and Goodyear F2G "Super" Corsair, offer even more options for players.
"The carrier-based aircraft in World of Warplanes showcases the evolution of North American engineering and the effort to create the ultimate shipboard fighter outfitted for challenging multitask operations over the seas and coastal areas", comments Alex Zezulin, Project Manager for World of Warplanes. "It is a unique and extremely interesting warplane type, sharing many features found in both light and heavy fighters".
With often unique and unorthodox body designs, carrier-based aircraft were also known for their ability to carry a wide variety of armaments, as well as carried a reputation for exceptional ruggedness under the most extreme conditions. They were also, however, highly maneuverable and able to carry an increased fuel load, making them perfect choices for intense dogfights, formidable surface attacks and reconnaissance missions.
World of Warplanes is currently in closed beta, where virtual pilots are invited to experience the thrill of aerial dogfighting combat in 59 different aircraft from Germany, the United States and the U.S.S.R, across four unique maps.
About World of Warplanes
World of Warplanes is the flight combat MMO action game set in the Golden Age of military aviation. The game continues the armored warfare theme marked in the highly-acclaimed World of Tanks and will throw players into a never-ending tussle for air dominance.
World of Warplanes will allow players to build full-scale careers as virtual pilots offering machines from several key eras, from1930's biplanes to the Korean War jet fighters that led the way to modern air forces.
World of Warplanes will feature a wide range of warbirds, each of them unique in their effectiveness and behavior. Virtual pilots will choose from three main warplane classes - single-engine light fighters capable of engaging enemies in close dogfights, heavy fighters with their deadly straight attacks, and strafing aircrafts, the fearsome threat to ground targets.
Every plane will feature multiple variations of ammo types, engines, and other crucial modules, and their various combinations will allow players to pick the optimal configuration for the most effective behavior in combat.

Advance Publications, owners of the Syracuse Post Standard, along with several other daily newspapers, has decided that the Post Standard will switch to three-day-a-week distribution come January 2013. This is becoming a common trend in the newspaper industry, particularly with Advance Publications, who swept its mighty sword and slashed the New Orleans Times-Picayune, and several other papers, a few months back.
As a long time fan of the Post-Standard, along with the long gone Herald Journal, I do find this to be a sad moment. I realize in these days of decling profitability in the newspaper industry coupled with the trend of younger audiences relying solely on the internet for news, that this is in many ways inevitable for many markets. It is highly condemning of the industry when the Post Standard goes through this type of change as its adult readership is ranked #4 in the United States, based on Scarborough research.
A lot of the information contained in the printed version of the paper is now on PostStandard.com, if not all the same information. However, as an invidual who works on a computer all day, I enjoy reading my news in the printed form each morning. Alas, I know I am part of an ever decreasing minority.
Often these distribution changes also impact the editorial and journalism staffs. I do hope that the Syracuse Post Standard sports department remains intact, particularly Mike Waters and Donna Dikota, who I enjoy reading regarding Syracuse University basketball.
I do think switching to a reduced number of distribution days is a sure way to destroy the newspaper. A paper that is distributed only three days a week, forces it readers to use another source the remaining four days a week. I believe a reader will become comfortable with that other source of news, and will then not bother switching back to the newspaper for the other three days, when the other source provides them the news they need all seven days. I think a paper has to be 'all in' with seven days of distribution, or just bow out. Perhaps that is there plan, and this is just an intermediary step to get some money before they close the doors on the printed business.

It?s been three years since Jacky?s last Cantonese album! As much as I like his mandarin songs (and I really did like his last mandarin album ?Where is He? quite a bit), I still prefer Jacky singing Cantonese songs?it just sounds more?JACKY! I downloaded (yes I?ll buy it when I actually get a chance) this album a day or two after its release and my initial reaction after listening to it once was?a bit disappointing, but after a few more listens, certain songs really grew on me and now I can truly say that I am quite satisfy with it. Like Mavis wrote in his review, the gimmick for this album is that Jacky composed all the songs and wrote 4 of the lyrics too. So let see what we got here? 1. Brave Story - We start off with a fast track with a few catchy lines?and really nothing else that?s worth noting. A theme song for a cops show on TV. Probably the worst track of the album. 2. Wanna Get Drunk - Another fast song, but much better. A punk-rock track with catchy beats and a very fine performance by Jacky. Jacky?s lyric is also quite good and fitting for the style of the song. 3. Frustrated - Third consecutive fast track. Style similar to track 2 and Jacky?s performance is great again. Compare to the last track, this one isn?t as well written and doesn?t have as much of that ?free & wild? feeling. 4. Life is Like a Dream - Title track of album. And another fast song. It has sort of a musical feel to it and reminds me of songs from the movies ?Chicago? and ?Moulin Rouge?. Very thoughtful lyric by Lam Chik. Fine performance by Jacky. I really like this song, it?s so relaxing. It?s probably the most catchy and standout track of the album. 5. Taking the Time - Wow! Another relatively fast song?am I listening to a Jacky album here?! This one has some very catchy rhythm and carries a taste of salsa. It reminds me of some of those faster tracks from his English album. 6. Her - Finally a slower song. Jacky?s lyric fits the song but nothing really interesting. This is a jazz track. Don?t know if it?s because of all the fast tracks preceding this, but I do find this song a little boring. 7. For My Friend - This track starts off with a voice-over talking about the death of a friend. I believe this is a song dedicated to Anita Mui. A very slow and emotional song. Jacky?s singing is absolutely flawless here, this is the type of songs that he?s been doing all his career. His voice-overs are also very good, you can just feel the sadness in his voice. 8. Rather Be Wrong - The most typical Jacky song of the album, he even co-wrote the lyric. Slow emotional love song. I thought nothing of this song at first, but it has really grew on me the last few days. It reminds me quite a bit of his hit ?I Should? from a few years back (a song that I really loved), but just not as good. Still a very good song if you like the ?typical Jacky?. 9. Tell You - First plug of the album. A slow and romantic love song dedicated to his wife. Jacky?s lyric is very romantic, the song is very melodic, and his performance is excellent, all this equals to a great track that?s probably going to be quite a popular pick for people at the karaokes. 10. Yiu Yiu - This one is dedicated to his daughter Yiu-Yiu. This sounds very much like a lullaby?NO! This IS a lullaby. Very cute lyric, a surprisingly good track to end the album. Overall, I think this is a pretty good album. It?s not going to be a classic like many of Jacky?s older albums, or is it musically as good as his last couple of Cantonese albums (?Top of the World? and ?There?s a Person?), but I think it?s definitely more special and defines more of what Jacky really likes. No surprises whatsoever in the styles or performances of the tracks. This album is for the more mature listeners?haha?like me?who considers the music in the 80s and early 90s were the best and still ARE the best stuff around! There?s no rap or hip-hop here which I don?t mind one bit. Jacky?s voice has matured through the years and is a lot ?rougher? than even in his last Cantonese album. It?s really suited for the punk-rock tracks.

Seeing Stripes: DIY Curtains
I always think the clothes we choose to rock affect the way we decorate our home. A lot of us take more time in picking out clothes that represent the true us then in decorating our home which are not on display everytime we leave the house.
When working with a new client I always pay attention to the way they present themselves. Are they in all black, wearing accessories, etc? It helps paint of picture of what their effortless style is, which is what I want to do for them in their personal space.
More than once I've been inspired by a fashion pic and during one of my latest projects a clothing picture saved the day.
When I first painted this room it was in the height of the blue and chocolate brown craze.
Only problem was the room was placed on the back burner when other projects took precedence and it never fully come together. With all that time placing I had at this point grown tired of blue and brown.
So instead of starting from scratch I removed all the brown in the room and went with a new color combo.
As always Kate Spade comes to the rescue! That yellow and white striped skirt was always one of my favorites and until recently I hadn't realized that the top featured was the same blue as my walls.
I then decided that horizontal yellow stripe fabric was the solution to my problem. When I saw that Jenny was doing something similar I knew I was on the right track.
I couldn't find the exact fabric that I wanted so I decided to go with a DIY solution.
Enter IKEA with my basic white curtains:
Plus Tulip Fabric Spray Paint, Frog Tape, tape measure, construction paper:
Now for the how to. I decided that I wanted 7" stripes so we (and by we I totally mean Jon) started taping off the fabric.
As you continue to make the stripes you will notice that spaces don't look equal. This is because the painted sections are 7" on the inside of the tape, but the section that will remain unpainted is also 7", but from the outside of the 1" tape.
We tried a bunch of techniques on the first panel to make sure we had no overspray, but for the second panel this technique worked best.
We cut construction paper to size and then taped it over the white section. No chance of overspray here!
Next step is spraying!
It's important to have a light hand when you spray. Keep the bottle moving as you spray so that you get a yellow mist coming out. Make sure you let the stripe set for around 5 mins and then remove the paper:
Immediately after you remove the paper move on to removing the frog tape. Be careful when doing this because there will be yellow overspray on the frog tape, which you don't want to get on the white section:
Voila! Finished Product:
Hanging them was rather simple. I didn't like the pull tab look, but it was the cheapest option at IKEA. Instead of cutting the tab off or using the sewing machine I used clips instead.
They still need to be hemmed, but I couldn't wait much longer. So up they went so I could snap some pictures!
Close up:
Due to the fabric paint the curtain was a bit stiff, but since we had done the first panel weeks earlier it was already soft. So the stiffness does disappear. After 3 days of setting the fabric can be washed!
Hope you all enjoyed the steps and try it out yourselves! I can't wait to try it out again.
Now I'm off to finalize the room. It needs artwork to go up along with the flat screen that Jon is trying to get in every single room of the house. Oh boys and their toys.

MSU Libraries' Events
Library Events (MSU Events Calendar)
From our writers and film series to traveling exhibits, come to one of the many events and programs we offer here at MSU Libraries. We look forward to seeing you!
Sign Up
Special Collections holds a beautiful and very large "Antiphonale" probably dating from the 15th century. It was donated in 1951 by the E.K. Warren Foundation, but little else is known about the manuscript except that marginal notations suggest it spent a portion of its life in a Spanish monastery and was probably copied for the Benedictine Order of the Catholic Church. An "Antiphonale" is a collection of liturgical chants surrounding the Psalm verses appropriate to the day of the Church year. The chants would be sung in unison by the choir in alternation (antiphonally) with the officiant who would chant the Psalm verses. Although the volume is referred to as an "Antiphonale," research indicates that it is actually two manuscripts bound together to form a service book. The first part, approximately 45 leaves, consists of antiphons for the Psalms used in the season of Advent, while the second part of 50 leaves contains Introits, Offertories, and Graduals for the Christmas Masses. You can listen here to six verses of the Advent hymn, "Conditor alme siderum," which precedes the antiphons in this manuscript. It was probably sung on a daily basis at or near the opening of the service and the hymn is still in use today; the most common translation is "Creator of the Stars of Night."

Bread can be "cooked" in different ways. It can be baked, steamed, grilled, cooked in a tandoor, etc. Do you know it can also be cooked with a pan? Some of you might know pita can be cooked with a frying pan. Below is a Chinese bun which is cooked with a pan too.
Basically it's a the dough of steamed bun, pan-fried for a minute at the beginning and then added with water to cook the bun. Therefore upper part of the bun tasted like a steamed bun while the bottom is crispy to give a tasteful texture. It's usually filled with vegetable and minced pork inside.
My oven is broken down (!) and hence I prepared this pan-fried bun to celebrate the World Bread Day 2011. Do you know any other ways to "cook" a bread? 🙂
Would like to submit it to YeastSpotting too.
Adapted from a dim sum class that I took in www.masterwhy.com
Flour 160g (the chef taught me there's a kind of flour used for making Chinese buns which the protein is lower than bread flour but higher than cake flour, and not exactly the same as all purpose flour. The common one is in this link. Or you can look for other brands in China town that are used for making buns)
Sugar 16g
Yeast 2g
Baking powder 2g
Water 80g
Minced pork 80g (the pork is minced with a chopper by myself. Also it's better to have about 1/4 fat inside which would help the filling taste juicer. The fat should be cut into small dices and mixed to the minced lean pork)
Salt 1/2 tps
Rice wine 1/2 tps
Pak Choi 80g (cut into dices. Cooked with boiling water for 20 secs. Drained. Wait till cool and use your palms to squeeze out extra water. This helps softening the vegetable and avoids breaking the dough during wrapping)
Sugar 3 tps
Corn starch 2 tps
Water 60g
Spring onions, Toasted sesame seeds (for sprinkling on the buns)
To prepare the buns:
1) Mix all the ingredients until smooth. A window pane test is not required
2) Rest for 20 mins (no need double in size. Just wait until the dough is relaxed)
To prepare the filling:
1) Mix all the ingredients except water and pak choi
2) Add the water slowly in 5 times. After adding the first 1/5 of water, mix the pork mixture and water with a pair of chopsticks in circular motion until the water is absorbed. Continue until all water is added.
It might look too much water at the beginning but it will all be absorbed by the mixture at last.
3) Add the pak choi
4) Place the filling in refrigerator for at least 30mins and the mixture will be firmer
To fill the buns:
1) Roll the dough into a log and cut into 12pcs
2) Press or roll the small dough into a flat one of 8cm diameter
3) Place 1 tps of filling onto the dough
4) Wrap up the dough (as below video which I found from YouTube)
5) 2nd fermentation is not needed
To pan fry the buns:
1) Heat a frying pan. Add some oil
2) Place the buns to the pan. Each of them should have 1-2 cm spacing between as the buns would be bigger after cooked
3) Pan fry for 1 min. Bottom should look crispy at this moment
4) Add water to the buns to reach 1/2 of the height of the buns. Wait until the water is boiled
5) Cover with a lid until cooked at medium heat
6) Sprinkle with spring onions and toasted sesame seeds
7) Serve & Enjoy!

White House party crasher fails to make ballot
RICHMOND, Va. (AP) — One-time White House party crasher and former reality television figure Tareq Salahi has failed to submit enough valid signatures to qualify for the ballot as an Independent Green Party candidate for outgoing U.S. House Majority Leader Eric Cantor's seat in Congress.
The Virginia State Board of Elections sent Salahi an email earlier this month saying Salahi submitted 2,051 signatures. But only 480 of them were from individuals who live in the 7th Congressional District in the Richmond area that Cantor currently represents. Salahi needed to submit 1,000 valid signatures. A copy of the email was provided to The Associated Press.
Salahi's campaign spokeswoman, CC Harris, says Salahi did not receive the email and was unaware that he did not qualify for the ballot.

It looks like "Community" will be back Feb. 7, but nothing is a certainty when it comes to NBC and this show. The network seems to be treating it like a bastard stepchild.
On Tuesday, the network announced its midseason premiere dates for three new series and new days/times for some returning shows. Here's the rundown:
- The Bill Pullman presidential sitcom "1600 Penn" premieres at 8:30 p.m. CT Jan. 7.
- The mystery "Deception," which was formerly titled "Infamous" and stars Meagan Good and Victor Garber, will debut at 9 p.m. Jan. 7.
- The new Eva Longoria relationship reality series "Ready for Love" bows at 7 p.m. March 31.
"Community," starring Chicago native Danny Pudi as well as Joel McHale, Donald Glover, Gillian Jacobs, Yvette Nicole Brown, Alison Brie, Chevy Chase, Ken Jeong and Jim Rash, was to have begun its fourth season Oct. 19--until NBC postponed the debut. This after screwing with the clever sitcom's schedule last year, too.
No respect for the show or the fans, I tell you.
Midseason debut dates of returning NBC shows:
- "The Biggest Loser": Jan. 6 and 7
- "Betty White's Off Their Rockers": Jan. 8
- "Parks and Recreation" moves to 7:30 p.m. CT Jan. 17.
- "Smash": Feb. 5
- "Community": 7 p.m. CT Feb. 7.
- "The Voice": March 25 and 26
- "Revolution": March 25
- "The Celebrity Apprentice: All-Star Edition": March 3

The year is 2531. In the year 2531, during the infancy of the Human-Covenant war, human scientists stumbled upon a new world. Named "Lumoria", the planet was laden with both flora and fauna as alien as anyone had ever seen before. Nestled amongst the planet's varying terrain lie architecture left behind by a once seemingly all-powerful race known as the Forerunners. But what began as a scientist's greatest dream of study and discovery quickly turned into destruction and terror when the Covenant found the planet as well. When the Covenant attacked the human research vessel, the scientists had no chance. Their final hopes lay in a beacon dropped in desperation. A beacon found by you. Arriving at the planet aboard the small, stealthy UNSC Frigate Endless Horizon, your mission is to defeat the Covenant, discover the mysteries behind this new world, and give humanity their hope back. Welcome to Lumoria.
Embark on a journey that brings you to the Forerunner world of Lumoria. When a scientific research crew sends out a beacon of distress, the UNSC frigate...

DETROIT >> They don't grade them with style points.
The Tigers got a less-than-vintage start from Justin Verlander, paired with spotty defense, a number of missed double plays, and four innings of nerve-wracking bullpen work.
They still managed to stop their short two-game skid with a come-from-behind, 7-5 win over the Cleveland Indians that kept them in first place, and above .500.
A 'W' is a 'W.'
"Especially the way we've been grinding, and things haven't gone our way lately, it was a good feeling," said closer Joe Nathan, who got the save, as the last of a combined nine relievers used in the game. "It's one of those feelings where you know it's a step in the right direction. Gives you some confidence moving forward."
The Tigers (7-5) came in having lost five of seven after a 4-0 start, including their last two.
Not everyone's confidence was flagging, though.
At least one guy was still having fun.
"Oh, I'm playing ball, man. I love to play ball, so I'm enjoying myself. I would like to win some more games, but right now we're playing OK, and I'm just waiting to erupt a little bit, and run off a bunch of wins in a row," said Kinsler, who had a game-altering home run and matched his career high with four RBI. "You never know in this game. It humbles you very quickly, so you have to be ready to win every day. One's a start."
Then Verlander needed just five innings to amass 113 pitches, thanks to less-than-stellar command of the fastball.
He also contributed one of three Tigers errors on the day, extending the team's streak of games with an error to six — the longest stretch since 2011.
Luckily, the Tigers have another component not necessarily graded by style points — their new second baseman, Kinsler.
"He's been an All-Star for a reason. The thing I think his teammates, and certainly the coaching staff likes about him is his grittiness. Yes, he's got the ability to hit a home run, yes he can steal a base. He can play second base," manager Brad Ausmus said.
"But man, he sticks his nose in the dirt. He's just a baseball rat. It's like you took him right off the sandlot, and threw him in a big-league game."
Kinsler's three-run homer in the fifth inning capped a four-run rally that was aided by four walks — three by Cleveland starter Danny Salazar, who'd mowed through the Tigers' lineup the first time through the order.
"He came right at us, and was throwing strikes. We were able to get a little bit of offense going when he lost command of the strike zone a little bit," Ausmus said. "I think that was where we were able to take advantage."
Austin Jackson added a pair of RBI on sacrifice flies, while Kinsler drove in an insurance run with a sixth-inning single, and Rajai Davi's beat out a two-out infield single in the eighth to make it a two-run margin for Nathan in the ninth.

Florida Man Charged After Allegedly Throwing Sex Toy On New Era Field
A Florida man is facing charges after he allegedly threw a sex toy onto the field during the Monday Night Football game between the Buffalo Bills and the New England Patriots.
The Erie County Sheriff's Office said Michael Abdallah, 34, of Oveido Florida was identified by witnesses and in-stadium surveillance cameras that captured him throwing the dildo onto the field.
Abdallah has been charged with disorderly conduct and creating a hazardous/offensive condition. He was taken by police to the Erie County Holding Center pending an arraignment in Orchard Park Town Court.
An official spotted the sex toy on the field and kicked it out of the end zone. According to the Democrat and Chronicle, the dildo had Tom Brady's name written on it.
The trend of throwing sex toys onto the field when the Patriots visit New Era Field began in 2016 and has been faithfully followed by fans ever since. Two people were banned for life from New Era Field by the team after they threw a sex toy onto the field in 2016.
Oh, the Patriots won Monday night's game, 25-6.

In a small bowl, drizzle the gelatin over the cold water to soak. 2. Meanwhile, in a medium metal bowl, whisk together the egg yolks with 1/2 cup sugar, the salt, lemon juice and lemon zest. Place the bowl over a larger pot of simmering water and cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture is thickened to a custard-like consistency, about 8 minutes. Add the soaked gelatin and stir until dissolved. Remove from heat and place the mixture over an ice bath, stirring just until cooled to room temperature. Remove from the ice bath and set aside. 3. In the bowl of a stand mixer, or in a large bowl using an electric mixer, beat the egg whites until foamy. With the mixer running, drizzle the remaining 1/2 cup of sugar over the whites and continue beating until the whites form stiff peaks. 4. In a separate bowl, beat the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. 5. Mix approximately one-fourth of the beaten egg whites into the cooled lemon mixture to lighten it. Fold in the remaining egg whites, followed by the stiffly whipped cream, taking care not to deflate the filling as it is combined. 6. Turn the filling into the baked pie crust and refrigerate at least 4 hours to allow the filling to set up.

Always shaping the future: the history of Ossett Brewery
July 2017 sees the first steps taken in the latest expansion of Ossett Brewery. Ceiling panels are being lifted, tanks re-located and pipework re-directed. It is not the first time the organisation has shrewdly invested to pre-empt or catch up with demand, but this time a phased 18-month programme of development will leave the brewery in a strong position for the future. And given the relatively recent birth of the organisation, that the astonishing rise in popularity of real ale has been suitably served from the same humble area of land in the small market town of Ossett, goes to show how skilful manag..

Yorkshire Trio Launch The 'Ultimate' Pie!
The first-ever pie featuring the iconic Henderson's Relish from Sheffield in Yorkshire has been launched across the north of England.

Essence #1About this photograph
The Essence series is composed of 12 photographs numbered in ascending order. Each piece represents an abstract vision of the same landscape. Beyond illustration, the series returns to the artist?s favourite idea, being aware that the only invariable in this world is the certitude that nothing is constant. With the great freedom, nearing lyrical abstraction, enabled by visual language, Florian Muller distances himself from the real and transforms the landscape. The spectator is not asked to question what he sees but to question what he feels. These are photographic poems resulting from direct expression and which conjure up a personal emotional response. The artist doesn?t flaunt his savoir faire but proposes his ability to see. To portray the theme of the permanence of movement, the photographer takes up the codes of Op Art and creates vibrant images. He superimposes strongly contrasting coloured layers. The human eye is unable to adapt and the juxtaposition of these colours creates a slight retinal vibration which gives the illusion of movement.Read more Read less

Creating a Manuscript - Think Ahead in Word
Nan Barnes
Getting your book printed may seem like a long way off. But if you plan ahead now, as you're working on your book, you can save time and expense when it comes time to design and print your book. Here are steps you can take to stay organized as you plan, write, and complete your manuscript.
As You Are Planning the Book
1) Use an outline
No matter how large or small your project is, creating an outline will force you to make logical categories. Your book chapters might be organized according to time periods, or topics, or any other system. Chapters can also be grouped into sections, if you like. An outline is the only way to step back and get an overview of what has gone into each chapter. Inevitably, you will revise your book as you go, and knowing where everything is really helps.
2) Create a separate document for each chapter
The length of a book can quickly become too unwieldy to manage. By creating each chapter document separately, you can easily skim through the text to locate information, and then add, move or revise it. Try to keep your chapters short and focused on just one subject. As experienced writers know, once you have written a long, convoluted chapter, it can be very difficult to tease apart. Shorter chapters are better, as you can always merge them later. This method also makes it much easier to reorganize the book when you change your outline.
As You Are Writing the Book
3) Use the Styles in Word
Word's default Style is "Normal". You can use this common Word menu to designate your chapter titles "Heading 1" and designate any subsection headings as "Heading 2". The font and style of text you choose can be adjusted to your taste, and they can also be changed later. Assigning Styles is useful for two reasons, aside from appearance. You can now use the "browse" function in Word to skip from section to section. Styles will also carry over into InDesign, the book design software, preserving the difference between headings and normal body text for your book design. (If this is difficult or unfamiliar to you, skip it, and we can do it for you.)
4) Keep a separate folder for your pictures
Create a folder for each chapter of your book that will include pictures. Many people have multiple copies of the same image. Choose your best, highest resolution images (300 dpi minimum, or the largest KB size you have) and store a copy in this folder. This way, you will provide the right picture files to the book designer, associated with the correct chapters. You can place pictures into Word just to get a sense of how you want the book to look, but any resizing/reformatting of pictures you do in Word will not be used in the final printed book, (so don't work too hard at it!) Word reduces the quality of pictures, so your book designer will crop and resize your original images professionally.
When Your Manuscript Is Completed
5) Use a system to label your pictures
Your image files have all sorts of confusing names. To make it easy for the book designer to locate and place the right photo, try this system using location numbers.
1. Once you're sure your book is done and won't change, make a duplicate of your picture folders. Name these folders "Chapter #(x) Final Images".
2. Go back through the text of each chapter in Word. Wherever you want an image to be placed, create a new line in the text and note that a picture appears in that spot. For example, for the first image in chapter three, write "3.1."
3. On the same line, type the symbol %%%. We will use the "find" command to locate each instance of %%%. That is how we know where to place your images.
4. You may list more than one image location number, i.e, 3.2, 3.3, 3.4, if you wish to group images. Continue to number each image location sequentially.
Example: A note "3.6, 3.7, 3.8, 3.9 %%%" would tell the designer to group those four images on that page.
4. In your duplicate pictures file, rename each picture to correspond to the order of its appearance in the Word chapter. (A photo named "3.1" means chapter 3, picture 1. 3.5 would be the fifth image to appear in the chapter.)
6) Write your captions separately
Word has no workable solution for captions, so don't bother trying! If you want captions with your pictures, create a separate Word document called "Captions". Using the same chapter #, image # system as above, write and list all your captions in order.
The captions can then be easily placed in your book to match with the pictures named with the same location numbers. If an image does not need a caption, list its number and write, "none" so we know the omission is intentional.

3.6 - none
Finally, do feel free to ask for clarification if these instructions are not enough! We are happy to help.

Michael Green's bid for a second straight perfect game ended when he hit the first Patrick Henry Community College batter he faced Saturday, but by the end of the eighth inning he had completed a second straight no-hitter. Until his last two starts, Green had never thrown a no-hitter.
BCC (9-5) beat the Patriots 9-1 in eight innings, and Green struck out seven batters.
Green, a sophomore who has signed with Winthrop University, threw a five-inning perfect game on March 4. Against Patrick Henry, Green walked three and hit two.
On Sophomore Day, sophomores Marcus Graham and Steve Johnson led a second-half rally as the Brunswick Community College basketball team beat USC Sumter 92-87 Sunday on Walter Shaw Court at the Dinah E. Gore Fitness & Aquatics Center gym.
Graham finished with 28 points and Johnson 11. Tre Francisco scored 19 points, sophomore Kameko Walls 13 and sophomore Alex Tucker 11.
BCC trailed 44-37 at the half but Graham scored 13 points and Johnson scored 10 as the Dolphins took a 69-55 lead with nine minutes left.
The Brunswick Community College baseball team beat Stanly Community College 6-5 in 10 innings Saturday, scoring two runs in the bottom of the ninth inning to tie the score 5-5 and then scoring the winning run in the 10th on sophomore center fielder Ryan Collins' double.
The score was tied 3-3 in the eighth but Stanly scored on a run on a wild pitch and scored in the ninth on a home run.
The Brunswick Community College men's basketball team avenged a 30-point loss to Aiken Tech by beating the Knights 80-76 Sunday on Walter Shaw Court in the Dinah E. Gore Fitness & Aquatics gym.
The Knights hit eight 3-pointers in the first half but BCC held them to none in the second half. The BCC defense held the Knights to three points in the final 3 minutes, 21 seconds.
For BCC (13-11), Steve Johnson scored 25 points, Quinton Morrow 15, Kameko Walls 11 and Marcus Graham 10.
Quinton Morrow made two steals in the final minute to help Brunswick Community College beat Spartanburg Prep 68-57 Sunday on Walter Shaw Court at the Dinah E. Gore Fitness & Aquatics Center gym.
For BCC (12-10), Steve Johnson scored 13 points, Morrow 11 and Alex Tucker nine.
BCC led 41-28 at the half and maintained the 13-point lead as Tucker scored seven of the Dolphins' first 10 points. Tucker later suffered an apparent leg injury and did not return.
The Brunswick Community College baseball team won two of three games over the weekend against College of the Albemarle.
BCC split two seven-inning games Saturday, winning 9-2 and losing 4-3. Starter Brock Holmes left the game with a 1-0 lead in the sixth inning. Albemarle scored four runs and held off a BCC rally in the seventh.
BCC beat Albemarle 6-2 in a nine-inning game Sunday. BCC scored all six runs in the fourth inning.
The Brunswick Community College men's basketball season ended Friday in a 67-66 loss to Clinton in a semifinal of the Region 10 championship tournament at Voorhees College.
BCC had beaten Clinton 79-72 on Feb. 5 and 86-79 on Feb. 13.
Clinton, seeded last and with an 8-18 record entering the tourney, built a lead against BCC with an energetic running game and more shooting attempts from the paint instead of under the basket.
Lattrell Royster made two free throws with 13.7 seconds left as the Brunswick Community College men's basketball team beat Denmark Tech 78-75 Saturday.
After Royster's free throws, the Panthers missed a 3-pointer and a rebound in the last home game of the season to be played on Walter Shaw Court at the Dinah E. Gore Fitness & Aquatics Center.

A New Way to Keep Clean
L. Benning (Leeds) monitors sterile conditions in an ice coring tool.
Credit: Kjell Ove Storvik/AMASE
Scientists have developed a new cleaning protocol for space hardware, such as the scoops of Mars rovers, which could be used on future "Search for Life" missions on other planets.
The new protocol was developed as part of a project to investigate life that exists in extreme Arctic environments, which are the closest analogue we have on Earth to the surface of Mars. The studies are also designed to help guide future NASA and ESA planetary missions.
Published in the journal Astrobiology, the decontamination protocol was developed and tested by scientists at the University of Leeds and NASA. It deals with the dilemma known as 'forward contamination' – ensuring that bugs from Earth don't hitch a ride across space and jeopardize the integrity of samples collected by rovers.

The decontamination protocol involves a cocktail of chemicals that were applied and tested on various sampling devices, including a glacial ice core drill and a rover scoop.
"We are trying to avoid a case of mistaken identity," says Professor Liane Benning, a biogeochemist from the University of Leeds and co-author of the paper.
"We know that on Mars, if present, any biological signatures will be extremely scarce. Therefore it is essential that we are able to minimize 'background noise' and to document just how clean our sampling devices really are before we use them," she adds.
"We are now able to fully a>decontaminate sampling devices in the lab and field to null levels of detectable organic biosignatures, before any samples are collected. Importantly, this new procedure doesn't just sterilize, but it also cleans off any trace organic molecules of dead organisms," says Professor Benning.
The work was carried out as part of the Arctic Mars Analog Svalbard Expeditions (AMASE) which uses Svalbard (a set of islands in the Arctic ocean at 74-80˚N) as an international test site for NASA and ESA "Search for Life" instrumentation scheduled to fly on future Mars missions.
The new cleaning protocol could be very useful in preventing forward contamination from robotic components on future life-hunting missions.

Svalbard is an excellent terrestrial analogue environment to Mars as life is scarce and it has a similar geology and many pristine glaciers.
"This work also enabled recent habitability and biomarker preservation studies in the extreme glacial settings of Svalbard. In addition, this work will guide future planetary missions, especially those to icy regions in the Solar System, such as Mars, or the moons of Jupiter and Saturn (Europa and Enceladus) where we are interested in understanding the potential habitats of cold-loving organisms living in ice," says Dr Jennifer Eigenbrode, NASA research scientist.
This work was carried out during the 2005 and 2006 field seasons of AMASE and was funded by a NASA ASTEP award to co-author Andrew Steele at the Carnegie Institution of Washington and grants from the Earth and Biosphere Institute at the University of Leeds to Liane G. Benning.

WCIP at work in Wolseley
By: Rob Altemeyer, MLA for Wolseley
As published in The Metro
September 25, 2013
There are many fantastic organizations in my constituency of Wolseley, and I'm very proud of the valuable services they provide to local residents.
Partnerships between these groups and the provincial government help these groups continue their excellent work at the local level, and I was really pleased this summer to learn that no fewer than six organizations in the Wolseley constituency received a combined total of over $110,000 in new funding through the Winnipeg Community Infrastructure Program (WCIP).
The largest grant went to the Lions Club of Winnipeg Senior Centre, to help with their Harvey Hall Courtyard project at Lions Manor. This initiative will convert a parking lot into the first secure outdoor recreation space the seniors living in Lions Manor have ever had. As Laurel Ann Kalupar, executive director for Lions Manor explains, "outdoor programming is just so important for the physical and mental well-being of our residents."
At the other end of the age spectrum, the WCIP is also providing funding for Villa Rosa. Founded over 100 years ago by the Misericordia Sisters, Villa Rosa provides single, pregnant women a safe place to attend school as well as access prenatal and postnatal programs. I'm honoured to speak at Villa Rosa's fundraising dinner each year, and even more honoured to hear the incredible life stories of the participants who use Villa Rosa's supports to fundamentally change their lives and the lives of their children.
At the Broadway Neighbourhood Centre, young people can join a running club, a homework club and the nationally-recognized TV program called "Just TV," which teaches kids how to use sound and video equipment. WCIP funding will enable the centre to upgrade its kitchen and make other renovations. As well, the University of Winnipeg Student Association's daycare will soon have a "natural playground" for their children, thanks in part to support from the WCIP. Rounding out the WCIP grants this year are the Winnipeg Art Gallery and Crossways in Common, as both are in need of funding for repairs to keep the physical building in shape so volunteers and staff can continue focusing their energy on serving the community.
If you work with an organization that's looking for funding for necessary building repairs and/or renovations, feel free to get in touch with my office for more information on the next year's round of WCIP applications.
You can reach me at 204-775-8575 or by email at firstname.lastname@example.com.
The energy, creativity and dedication of community organizations' staff are the vital assets that keep our community growing, and we are happy to help out however we can.

The best time for me to clear my thoughts is during my daily walks. Thankfully, even with a sore back I've still been able to continue with my walks (although at a slower pace) and I always find that these walks are so important for me to either re-focus after a working day or to set my mind to a new day (if I walk in the morning).
Don't get me wrong, these are no leisury strolls down the street; I've got long legs and I'm used to walking fast so I can definitely get a good exercise during my walk through a varying terrain. In Finland I used to do a lot of Nordic walking; up and down the hilly landscape during the snowless months and when the new snow fell all I had to do was to put skis on and off I went again. I've always been a sporty, outdoorsy person and these exercises are absolutely vital for my physical and mental well-being.
This recipe dawned to me during one of my walks. I was so excited to go home and try it and I'm so glad to report it turned out exactly like I had imagined! This is definitely one of my favourite dishes!
750g Jap pumpkin (kabocha)
1 tsp dried rosemary
1 tsp dried thyme
Himalayan pink rock salt
ground black pepper
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp walnut oil
1 tbsp olive oil
1 medium brown onion, finely chopped
1,5 cups pear barley
1 litre organic vegetable stock
low-fat feta cheese, to serve
pine nuts, toasted, to serve
walnut oil, extra, to serve
Preheat the oven to 180C. Cut the peel of the pumpkin and remove the seeds. Cut the pumpkin into small chunks and place on a roasting tray lined with baking paper. Sprinkle on the herbs, seasoning and the oil and toss well to combine. Arrange the pumpkin evenly on the tray, then bake for 20 minutes or until fully tender. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly.
Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan. Add the onion and sauté for 5 minutes or until soften. Add the barley and stir through. Add the stock, bring to boil and let simmer stirring occasionally for 25-30 minutes.
In the mean while, place the pumpkin into a bowl of a food processor and process until smooth. Add one teaspoon of walnut oil and process again to mix. Once the barley has cooked through, add the pumpkin puree and let simmer for a further few minutes.
Serve the barley risotto with crumbled low-fat feta cheese, toasted pine nuts and a drizzling of walnut oil.

Rams Blank Gators for Skyline Win
Farmingdale State - 3, The Sage Colleges - 0
Farmingdale, N.Y. - The Farmingdale State women's soccer team allowed only two shots in a 3-0 win over Skyline Conference opponent The Sage Colleges this afternoon. The Rams improved to 12-4 overall, 7-1 in the Skyline.
Sophomore midfielder Kasey Estelle (West Islip, N.Y./West Islip) put the Rams ahead only 2:52 into the match, as she netted the pass from junior forward Rebecca Richman (West Islip, N.Y./West Islip). Farmingdale State allowed one shot in the first half and took a 1-0 lead into halftime.
The Rams came out of the break and scored within two minutes, as sophomore forward Christina Merrill (Levittown, N.Y./Island Trees) put Farmingdale State on top 2-0. Freshman defender Sarah Golden (Greenport, N.Y./Greenport) assisted Merrill's score as well as the game clinching goal by junior defender Kerry Larkin (Patchogue, N.Y./Patchogue-Medford) in the 85th minute. The Rams also held a 7-1 corner kick advantage over the Gators (5-6, 3-4 Skyline).
Senior goalkeeper Brittany McDonald (Schenectady, N.Y./Schalmont) had 12 saves for Sage.
Farmingdale State next will host Richard Stockton in a non-conference game on Monday, October 18th at 3:00 p.m.
