- Rita looks like a typical housewife, but don't let her looks fool you! She might do the family shopping, pay the bills, and put food on the table at night, but behind closed doors this little vixen is a nasty girl! She showed off her juicy melons that are 100% natural and fondled her nipples. Then Rita opened wide to take his big erection down the back of her throat until he was rock hard.

Trade-Ideas: Amgen (AMGN) Is Today's Post-Market Leader Stock
- AMGN has an average dollar-volume (as measured by average daily share volume multiplied by share price) of $376.3 million.
- AMGN is up 4.6% today from today's close.
EXCLUSIVE OFFER: Get the inside scoop on opportunities in AMGN with the Ticky from Trade-Ideas. See the FREE profile for AMGN NOW at Trade-Ideas More details on AMGN: Amgen Inc., a biotechnology medicines company, engages in the discovery, development, manufacture, and marketing of human therapeutic products in the areas of supportive cancer care, inflammation, nephrology, and bone diseases primarily in the United States, Europe, and Canada. The stock currently has a dividend yield of 1.6%. AMGN has a PE ratio of 19.3. Currently there are 8 analysts that rate Amgen a buy, no analysts rate it a sell, and 12 rate it a hold. The average volume for Amgen has been 3.2 million shares per day over the past 30 days. Amgen has a market cap of $86.5 billion and is part of the health care sector and drugs industry. The stock has a beta of 0.39 and a short float of 1.4% with 3.35 days to cover. Shares are up 33.2% year to date as of the close of trading on Friday. STOCKS TO BUY: TheStreet Quant Ratings has identified a handful of stocks that can potentially TRIPLE in the next 12-months. Learn more. TheStreetRatings.com Analysis: TheStreet Quant Ratings rates Amgen as a buy. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its revenue growth, notable return on equity, reasonable valuation levels, solid stock price performance and growth in earnings per share. We feel these strengths outweigh the fact that the company has had sub par growth in net income. Highlights from the ratings report include:
- Investors have apparently begun to recognize positive factors similar to those we have mentioned in this report, including earnings growth. This has helped drive up the company's shares by a sharp 29.87% over the past year, a rise that has exceeded that of the S&P 500 Index. Regarding the stock's future course, although almost any stock can fall in a broad market decline, AMGN should continue to move higher despite the fact that it has already enjoyed a very nice gain in the past year.
- Despite its growing revenue, the company underperformed as compared with the industry average of 8.7%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues slightly increased by 4.5%. This growth in revenue appears to have trickled down to the company's bottom line, improving the earnings per share.
- The return on equity has improved slightly when compared to the same quarter one year prior. This can be construed as a modest strength in the organization. Compared to other companies in the Biotechnology industry and the overall market, AMGEN INC's return on equity exceeds that of both the industry average and the S&P 500.
- AMGEN INC's earnings per share improvement from the most recent quarter was slightly positive. The company has demonstrated a pattern of positive earnings per share growth over the past two years. We feel that this trend should continue. During the past fiscal year, AMGEN INC increased its bottom line by earning $5.51 versus $4.03 in the prior year. This year, the market expects an improvement in earnings ($7.31 versus $5.51).

A conflict with a trade union has led FreightCar America Inc., Chicago, to close its Pennsylvania manufacturing facility.
The rail car manufacturer said the shuttering of its 390-employee Johnstown, Pa., plant is an effort to optimize production at other, lower-cost manufacturing facilities. FreightCar's administrative offices in Johnstown will remain open, but most of the plant's union work force has already been laid off.
FreightCar said it expects to record a fourth-quarter restructuring and impairment charge of about $34.3 million related to the closure.

Evolution: "just a theory". Scientific caution is sometimes confusing.
The fact that our best available theories are still speculations misleads some people to believe that these ideas are not founded. Hence, some people suppose their uneducated opinion is just as bad, or as good, as the mainstream scientific hypothesis.
This trend is probably led by the way science has been taught, i e as a flawless method that offers facts about reality.
And by pre-scientific philosophy, still strong in our modern societies.
Evolution is "just a theory" the way Notre Dame is "just a pile of rocks", isn't it?

Jun 10 2013: What about Lamarkian evolution? I don't think the basic premise holds water, but I do think environment influences evolution. Phenotype drives genotype. The idea that random mutations, for example, drove dolphins and whales from land creatures to sea creatures is hard to understand. However, if living in an aquatic environment droves the changes, nostrils on top of the head and blowholes, it makes more sense. I have no thoughts on the mechanism that drives these mutations, but think somehow environment influences mutation. Any thoughts?
Jun 10 2013: Yup, that's Epigenetics for you! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epigenetics
Jun 13 2013: I doubt many people doubt evolution, but many people question that it was driven by random-mutation-and-natural-selection. (premature death doing something to genetic accidents). It is easier to imagine that each organism exerts its own effort to adapt, and if persistent over generations, such adaptations are eventually incorporated into the genome. Thus evolution is closer to Lamarck than anything Darwin suggested.

Animation and Anime
Eastern Hemisphere Tag Team - Anime-AICN-Downunder: The Art of Hayao Miyazaki
Hey, Scott Green here, thrilled to be able to present AICN-Downunder's Latauro with a great survey of Hayao Miyazaki art books (available in North America by Viz). I'll note that there is anime that you can only get in English via Australian release, of which Studio4C's artistic statement Genius Party is of particular significance.
Hi, all. Scott Green's letting me crash his Anime column today, in what must surely be the most significant synergy between anime and Australia since the ill-fated CROCODILE DUNDEE MEETS UROTSUKIDOJI. (Paul Hogan and tentacle rape, it turns out, is not a pleasant mix.)
I'm here because Madman Entertainment here in Australia has sent me review copies of the new Hayao Miyazaki "The Art Of..." books, which examine, in great detail, most of the films Miyazaki has directed. They've been around for a while, but with four new ones out last month, it seemed like a good excuse to look over the series as a whole. Unfortunately, I can't show you any of the images within the books -- and it's the extraordinary artwork which will compel you to pick them up -- so you'll have to let my words create the images in your mind. Like with that Paul Hogan/tentacle rape suggestion in the first paragraph. Haven't been able to get that out of your head, have you?
I'm not terribly familiar with NAUSICAA, having only seen it once several years ago, albeit in a beautiful film print at The Astor. Long-lost memories of the film came flooding back with the astonishingly-gorgeous illustrations in this book. It's not the first to be published, but I want to do these using the chronology of the films.
The first ninety odd pages are devoted to the art that Miyazaki did for the original manga comic. The massive double-paged spreads displays the art, usually spilling onto both pages, with all relevant details in the bottom corner and a running commentary by Miyazaki in the top corner. His comments are a fascinating insight into the mind of someone who I've often thought of as the classic elusive genius, and they range from insightful to hilariously curt (ie: a simple "I don't even remember this one"). The second section of the book is devoted to concept art and storyboards for the film, and both the illustrations and the accompanying commentary goes into more detail. The final section delves into the motifs that inspired NAUSICAA; it's basically the contents of Miyazaki's bottom drawer, and it's fascinating to see what was discarded and what was kept.
I've often said that no filmmaker has a more tactile tense of place than Miyazaki, and I think a lot of that comes down to the understated sound effects he employs. But that sense is still very present in static drawings, every one of which I'd be happy to stick in a frame and put on the wall. That there are two hundred pages of them is nothing if not gloriously overwhelming.
TOTORO is possibly my favourite of Miyazaki's films, and an even clearer glimpse than NAUSICAA into the types of story he would eventually tell.
The book begins with pencil sketches and watercolours, and compares the initial art to the final images used in the film. That sense of place is even more intense here, as the book gives you the chance to linger longingly on landscape and character details. The running commentary from Miyazaki and art direction supervisor Kazuo Oga is insightful, and discusses the process without ever getting overly technical. How they manage to make blighted power lines look gorgeous is a mystery. And yes, I'm getting effusive, but I dare you to try looking at this book without spewing hyperbolic adjectives.
The book ends with an article taken from 1987/1988 about "Totoro Studio", serialised at the time in Animage magazine. It's a nice way to end the book, a snapshot of what it was like to observe Miyazaki at work before so many (myself included) deified him.
TOTORO's biggest contender for my favourite Miyazaki film is KIKI'S DELIVERY SERVICE (original language version -- I hate the English one!). I like how each of these books seems to be taking on a different format depending on what's required for the individual film. This book kicks off with a few articles about the origins of KIKI and how the story developed from the original book. There's some terrific detail about character development and colour temperatures, which is very, very clear. And the reason you know it was clear is that I managed to understand it.
After the articles, the book kicks into gear with an array of pencil sketches and watercolours contrasted against the final cels and accompanied with commentary from Miyazaki and other animators. The complexity of emotion given to Kiki and how her youth and innocence informs her expressions is very eye-opening. For both Kiki and the reader. My favourite part, however, is the design of the town of Corico, and Miyazaki describes how the city is the Japanese idea of what a European city looks like.
The third part of the book delves into the animation process: the camera work, the lighting and the techniques. The book ends with an illustrated screenplay, which is surprising in itself given such a thing could be released on its own. To find it as an additional extra in a book like this is more than a bit cool.
PORCO ROSSO is actually one of the few Ghibli films I've not yet seen, which is bad for my standing as a film geek, but good in this context so I can judge at least one book without my preconceptions of the film overwhelming my opinion. The book kicks off with look at what inspired the story, with articles and reprinted pages of the original comic. There's the two page concept of the film, and a lot of the usual concept pencil and watercolour work.
The character designs are amazing, and take up a good portion of the book. Half-way in, I'm desperate to see PORCO as soon as possible. Of particular interest is the extreme detail on how they designed the classic fighter planes featured in the film. As usual, my favourite part is the vistas, the lush backgrounds and detailed places that should exist in real life, but currently only live inside Miyazaki's head. If there is any cheap real estate going in his frontal lobe, please let me know.
There are some gorgeous illustrations that apparently take place over the final moments of the film, but I skimmed these so as not to be spoiled. There's a great section about the publicity for the film, including all the original posters. Then, as with KIKI, the book features illustrated screenplay. As much as I prefer his films in Japanese, I am grateful that the the script itself is in English! Most impressive is a translated comic by Miyazaki called "The Age of the Flying Boat" featuring Porco himself. Whether this is the comic the film is based on, or a spinoff, I don't know, but it's brilliant.
Destined to be remembered as Miyazaki's crowning achievement, and certainly the film that alerted the wider public to the genius of the man, SPIRITED AWAY is done justice to perfectly in this book. Of course, this doesn't come as a huge surprise to me given how great the first four books were.
At this stage, I'm just repeating what I said earlier: lots of great concept art, both polished and sketched. Even having gone through four books already, this one is no less awe-inspiring. This is probably the best book yet, partly due to the imaginative surrealism that Miyazaki's quasi-"Alice In Wonderland" adaptation offers. The combination of gorgeous real-world locations and impossible creatures makes this an appropriately-dense book. There's less room for running commentary here, but this is made up for towards the end of the book, with some incredibly detailed pieces describing Miyazaki's "policy for digital", which includes utilising all the benefits of CG without letting it inform the look of the film. As a result, the descriptions of how the computers were used to complement the traditional animation is fascinating and very different from what has come earlier.
The book ends with the complete screenplay for SPIRITED AWAY in English. This is not illustrated, but with the amount of detail on offer throughout the book, the accompanying storyboards are hardly missed.
Despite the use of CGI, there's something about this film that always felt handmade. As such, the original concept art displayed here feels like the final product, an alternate angle on the film we saw. Seeing so much concept art remains fascinating, particularly the least-detailed sketches that only give the roughest idea of what the frame will look like.
There are some interesting contributions from other key crewmembers, and as much as I'm loving all the detail from Miyazaki himself, it's good to read other takes. HOWL'S is many things, but it's also the culmination of all the experience Ghibli has had creating mind-blowing countryside. The double-paged spreads of the original artwork are predictably gorgeous. Astonishing is how the castle itself was designed, with detailed looks at how each individual element was created and then fit together like a puzzle. Given the way the castle moves, this is not very surprising, but still very cool to see.
There's a real sense that the animation is being pushed with every film, with more risks and more ambition as the confidence grows. It's also interesting to pick up on running themes throughout the films: the bird creature that Howl feels very reminiscent of the artwork that the character Ursula paints in KIKI'S DELIVERY SERVICE. It's the sort of detail you can pick up on by the detail examination that books like these allow.
There's even more detail on the CGI processes used by Ghibli, advancements that are reflected in the book. Concluding the package is the complete screenplay for the film.
In my reviews of PONYO (which, thanks to DVD double-dips and top ten lists, now number four on AICN alone), I commented on how much PONYO feels more like a throwback to his simpler TOTORO-style films. This is not to bely the scale of, say, a massive world-destroying sea battle, but the stakes always feel more important than that: like TOTORO, it feels like everything hinges on the relationship between two kids.
Perhaps because this is the most recent of the films, "The Art of Ponyo" feels like it has a lot more material to work with. The previous books haven't been lacking, but you do sense there is more stuff crammed into this one.
More stuff is good. There are the rough pencil sketches, the watercolours, the detailed paintings, and the final framed, all wall-worthy. The PONYO book is probably the best in terms of comparing initial sketches through the design phases to the final frame. It also ends with a complete script, and it always surprises me that it's not based on a classic children's storybook. Every time I see it, I want to go out and find that non-existent book, but this Art Of book does plenty to sate that desire.
If you have the money to drop on all seven of these books, I can't think of a better way to spend it. However, if you just want to pick up the book of your favourite Miyazaki film, any one of these will satisfy. I'm really hoping that we get a couple more for PRINCESS MONONOKE and LAPUTA, because those feel like the notable exceptions. These are extraordinary books I cannot recommend highly enough.

I first saw it in '84 at Worlcon in LA, in Japaneese with no subtitles. It held a room full of non-Japaneese speakers spellbound. His other films are wonderful, but as a sci-fi guy, Nausicaa tops 'em all.
Porco Rosso is the best one, IMO !!! =)see it....

WTF is it about Mononoke?
by BoStrike1
How on earth has it come to pass that this film is almost never mentioned in articles/conversations about Miyazaki? I just don't get it. Even if the somewhat disjointed closing act keeps it from having the pollish of Spirited/Kiki/Totoro, the score alone should make up for this. I just find it strange how completely this film seems to be in the shadow of some of his other (less well made) films like Howls, Castle and Ponyo.

The Minden High basketball teams hosted district rival Huntington Friday night in a pair of important District 1-4A games. Unfortunately, Huntington won both games, hurting the district title hopes of both the Tide and Lady Tiders.
The Crimson Tide and Raiders were tied for first place. With a win the Tide would hold sole possession of the district lead, but a loss would drop them to second place. And a loss is what they got, as Huntington beat the Tide, 63-47.
"It was just one of those nights," Minden coach Alan Shaw said. "It was an old-fashioned beating. They were the better team that night. They were more physical than us and I think their size wore us down."
The teams played even in the first quarter (12-12) before Huntington took a 31-24 halftime lead by out-scoring the Tide, 19-12, in the second quarter.
Huntington then out-scored Minden 16-12 and 16-11 in the final two quarters to take the win.
Minden only shot 31% in the game, which hurt the Tide as Huntington's size ruled the paint.
"One thing we knew going into the game was that we had to shoot the ball well," Shaw said. "We knew we had to have a good perimeter night with their size inside. But unfortunately we didn't. With their size, if we don't make more shots than that we knew we were in trouble."
The loss dropped the Tide to 22-5 overall and 5-2 in District 1-4A.
Dominique Walker led the Tide with 15 points and C.J. Elkins added 12. Demmaria Hill scored six points and Reggie Seamster and Tra Thornton both added five.
"It was just one of those nights when things didn't go our way," Shaw said. "We're just going to have to bounce back and get ready for these last three games. Woodlawn, Fair Park and Northwood are all going to be tough, but I think these guys will bounce back."
The Lady Tiders dropped a 69-41 decision to the Lady Raiders.
"The first quarter kind of told the whole story," Lady Tider head coach Jacob Brown said. "They out-scored us 23-5 and I didn't think we played with any energy or much effort. For whatever reason, we just didn't have much focus. I don't understand why, because we still had an outside chance to win district before this loss."
Huntington proved to be a tough opponent for the Lady Tiders, as they used their size to their advantage.
"They are a good team and they took it to us early," Brown said. "We didn't step up to the challenge. We dug ourselves in a big hole early, and I just don't understand the lack of mental focus we had in the first quarter."
The Lady Tiders were out-scored 14-7 in the second quarter and trailed by 25 points at the half.
Minden out-scored Huntington, 15-13, in the third quarter and both teams emptied their benches in the fourth.
"I don't know why we didn't come out and play well," Brown said. "Huntington was a part of it, as they are a very good team, but we just didn't take care of the basketball or shoot very well. We were also very timid most of the times we tried to go inside. We just have to get things going. These next three games will be key for us. We need to play better than we did on Friday, and I think these girls will respond."
Carmella Specks led the Lady Tiders with 14 points and Antavia Sterling and JaCourtney Neloms both scored seven. Metosha Gill added five points and five rebounds. Tyia Green had five points.

The Homeland Security Department plans to award $3 million this summer for nuclear detection technology exploratory research that could lead to a dramatic improvement in the country's nuclear detection capabilities, the department said.
DHS has published a Broad Agency Announcement as part of its exploratory research program to develop new nuclear material detection technologies. The Domestic Nuclear Detection Office (DNDO), which runs the program, anticipates making multiple awards under the program, according to the solicitation first published March 25 and updated April 9. Interested parties must submit white papers by April 15. Full
proposals are due June 5. DHS expects to make the awards during the
The DNDO works to make sure the country is safe from the illegal importation, development or purchase of nuclear or radiological devices.
According to the solicitation, DHS is interested in technology that involves detection materials, passive and active detection technologies and forensics. The department said it prefers comprehensive program proposal that may include elements of scientific theory, modeling, simulation, experiment investigations, algorithm development and other parts of applied research that could lead to a proof-of-concept demonstration.
The competition is open to private industry, nonprofit organizations and academic institutions. Those organizations are encouraged to partner with the national laboratories, federally funded research and development centers and national agencies. However, those organizations can't submit proposals to be prime contractors, DHS said.

WWF Piledriver music videos recalls the super cheesiness of 1980s wrestling: September 21, 1987
I don't know why I think of GLOW when i see these videos. Probably the excessive cheesiness of it all (see "Mean" Gene Okerlund, Rick Derringer and the Hulkster redoing "Rock and Roll Hoochie Koo"). And "Jive Soul Bro" is still one of the most racist things that I've ever seen … other than Virgil, who apparently plays a tough guy in the last video. Ha.

"Mean Gene" met "the Doctor of Style" Slick in a ghetto (described as "the deepest, darkest parts of Africa" where tribal dancers in high-tops danced and chanted around a burning garbage can. Through an explosion of of fire, Akeem emerged and strutted and spoke in the most stereotypical way possible before hitting play on Slick's boombox and dancing to "Jive Soul Bro."

NTEU and NUS revive Bluestocking Week (13 -17 August 2012)
Bluestocking Week largely disappeared as resources for women students to organise on campus dried up due to the anti-student legislation of the previous Coalition Government. This was a real loss, because Bluestocking Week drew attention to what women had won and were still fighting for in higher education. It was not just about access and numbers of women at universities, but also about what was being taught and researched and by whom.
While primarily focussed directly on education, Bluestocking Week often provided a vehicle for other key campaigns such as sexual violence, reproductive rights, international solidarity, paid parental leave, equal rights at work and the right for women to go anywhere, anytime and speak out, whoever you are and however you look.
NTEU has a long and proud history successfully advocating for women's rights in and outside universities. However, we still have much to do. Our 2011 Women's Conference adopted the theme of "we can do more", arising out of the Education International Women's Conference pledging to advance the educational rights and opportunities of girls and women worldwide.
This year, instead of a national conference the NTEU Women's Action Committee has decided to focus back on campuses and work with students and communities to highlight the issues and concerns for women in universities. Fortuitously NUS Women's Department had a similar idea – and we have decided to collaborate.
With more women than men now graduating with first degrees, women have come a long way from the original Bluestockings who had to argue against the learned men who claimed women's brains were smaller so they were incapable of higher learning – and if they tried their wombs would atrophy as too much energy flooded to the head! And of course, it was all about penis envy. Most of these nutty ideas have disappeared from out universities (I hope!), but there remains far too much gender based discrimination and prejudice in what is learned, how and from whom.
2012 Bluestocking Week will provide a wonderful opportunity for academic and general NTEU members to work alongside students on events. Already suggested are debates, exhibitions, film nights, speakers, performances, food – themed with blue and stockinged legs. Activities can be initiated at any level of the Union and with local, state and the national student union. Coordination will be provided by the National and Division Offices.
Jeannie Rea
NTEU National President
*The term Bluestocking comes from a tradition of scholarly women being disparagingly referred to as Bluestockings from the 18th century as women started organising literary societies and began campaigning for women's access to university. There is some controversy about the exact etymology – but the salient point is that serious intellectual women claimed the term for themselves. There is a long history of bluestocking societies, publications and events, not only in the West, but even a magazine in Japan around the turn of the 20th century!

Without proper hydration, the skin's natural barrier won't function correctly. This leads to the typical tell-tale signs of aging: fine lines, sagging, and a dry "papery" look. While many try to combat this dehydrating effect of aging by drinking plenty of water, an ideal way to maintain fluid balance of skin is through the use of a topical spray.
Antioxidant Facial Mist has been specifically formulated for dry or dehydrated skin. It provides immediate antioxidant hydration and moisture for all skin types. The Antioxidant Mist is excellent for dry climates, all activity levels, and for frequent travelers (fliers). Its high levels of potent antioxidants begin working instantaneously to smooth, soften, hydrate, and refresh your skin.

3 Steps to Ageless Skin
By Kim Erickson
Exfoliate: "Routinely exfoliating increases the turnover of fresh skin cells, helping to get rid of dead cells that can dull skin," says Denise Santamarina, a holistic aesthetician in Las Vegas. "The result is a clearer, smoother, more even-toned complexion." If you've got oily skin or you're prone to acne, opt for a purifying scrub with tea tree oil and lavender—like Trillium Organics' Facial Polish ($15, 2 oz; trilliumorganics.com )—and use it up to three times a week. For dry or mature skin, use a fruit enzyme treatment like Lily Organics' Rejuvenating Enzyme Mask ($26, 1.7 oz; lilyorganics.com ).
Moisturize: As the weather cools and the humidity drops, your complexion can become dry and flaky. Moisturizing every day not only keeps skin soft and supple, it actually improves the barrier function of your skin, which helps ward off toxins and improves the skin's ability to retain moisture. Look for products containing botanicals, such as free radical–fighting hibiscus or skin-calming chamomile. Great choices include: Lotus Moon Hibiscus Flower Hydrating Crème ($28, 1.7 oz; lotusmoon.biz ) or Real Purity Azulene Crème ($30, 2 oz; realpurity.com ).
Bronze: Give some year-round color to your complexion with a sweep of natural bronzing powder. For a healthy glow, apply bronzer only to the areas of your face where the sun would naturally strike, such as the nose, cheekbones, forehead, and chin. Look for a talc-free bronzer—inhaling talc can irritate the respiratory tract. Try Larénim Goddess Glo Bronzers ($25, 0.2 oz; larenim. com ) or Jenulence Mineral Makeup Bronzer ($10, 0.1 oz; jenulence.com ).

Knee improving: A-Rod could be ready for return to Yanks Thursday
Tampa, FL, United States (AHN Sports) – In the midst of the dog days of summer, the New York Yankees will soon get a boost.
The Yankees, who are a 1/2 game behind the Boston Red Sox in the American League East, expect to have superstar third baseman Alex Rodriguez back by next weekend.
A-Rod finished his stay in the Florida sun Sunday with a simulated game in which he faced three different pitchers and fielded ground balls at the Yankees' Minor League complex. He is rehabbing from a surgically repaired right knee.
Rodriguez went 2-for-6 with a homer in two games with Tampa.
"It's another good day in the books," Rodriguez told ESPN. "I'm happy with the work I've done and I'm looking forward to the next step."
The slugger is scheduled to play two games for Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Tuesday and Wednesday, and could re-join his major league teammates as early as Thursday.
"The timetable is still the same," Yankees manager Joe Girardi said after the Yankees were rained out of Sunday afternoon's game against the Rays. "He'll return sometime in Minnesota. I can't tell you Thursday [with certainty], but I expect to see him sometime in Minnesota."
According to the ESPN report, Rodriguez had five hard-hit balls during Sunday's simulated action that would have probably resulted in him reaching base in a game, including two hits that hit the wall in right-center. Of his 13 simulated at-bats, he also struck out three times, two of which came on called third strikes.
After two of his hits, Rodriguez ran to second base at half-speed. He also ran to first after each of the three batting sessions.
During his runs to first and second, Rodriguez was tentative in his approach, similar to how he ran in the games in Dunedin on Friday and Saturday.
"Just don't want any setbacks," Rodriguez said. "It's just about taking one step at a time."

By Bertolt Brecht
Wednesday*–Saturday, April 23–26, 2014 at 8 p.m.
Sunday, April 27, 2014 at 2 p.m.
Chicago in the 1930s during the Great Depression was a time of unemployment, fear, and corruption. It was the perfect time for a small-time crime boss and his henchmen to make a grab for absolute power. Arturo Ui and his mob of gangsters run protection rackets for both workers and businesses. His rise to greatness is looming over the city and it seems he can't be stopped, whether you're with him or against him. Written in 1941 by Bertolt Brecht, The Resistible Rise of Arturo Ui is a sharp and thrilling parable of the rise of Hitler, told with a razor-sharp wit.

Aqua Engineers, Inc.
Hawai'i's Largest and Most Experienced Water and Wastewater Management Company
Aqua Engineers, Inc. got its start when Ian Kagimoto, Walter Briant, Seichi Oyama, and Frank Kiger saw a need for trained operators for the privately-owned wastewater treatment plants on Kaua'i. They formally opened for business on January 1, 1981, providing operation and maintenance services for the Poipu Kai wastewater treatment plant.
The number of clients soon increased, as well as the need to provide design and engineering services. After Hurricane Iniki hit Kaua'i in 1992 and the island's economy slowed, Aqua expanded and got its first off-island contracts—Lana'i Company at Manele Bay, the Keauhou Resort sewage treatment plant on the Big Island, and additional plants on Maui and O'ahu.
Now Lawa'i based Aqua Engineers is owned by its nearly 100 employees and is Hawai'i's largest and most experienced water and wastewater management company, with a wholly owned subsidiary, Briant Construction. Aqua operates and maintains 28 wastewater systems, more than 70 pumping stations, 13 water systems, and five R-1 Re-use facilities that produce the highest quality effluent in Hawai'i.
"We are committed to providing clients with innovative, sustainable solutions for water and wastewater systems that support health and safety and improve the environment," says President and Founder Kagimoto.
With contracts to operate and manage the Army's wastewater systems of O'ahu, Aqua also is one of the state's largest defense contractors. In 2008, Aqua was awarded a $229 million, 50-year military contract for the privatization of the U.S. Army Wastewater Collection Systems on O'ahu, making the company Hawai'i's largest private utility provider. Aqua Engineers has been honored with multiple "sustainability awards" and has received project recognition for its partnership with the U.S. Military and for its role in taking operational measures to improve the environment.
Aqua's commitment to the environment and community goes beyond wastewater management. Aqua employees volunteer regularly and work with schools to educate students about water preservation and quality.
"We are partnering with industry and community to promote potable water preservation and to create alternative and sustainable energy solutions through biosolids," says Senior Vice President Hugh Strom. "We will continue to design and operate efficient water and wastewater systems using the latest technology to meet community needs."

My muffins and smoothie contain NO EGGS or dairy..
almost vegan veggie burger
The burger is made from black soybeans, sunflower seeds, onions, garlic, oats, soymilk and spices. They are delicious. I topped this one with 1/4 of an avocado, red onion, tomato, spinach, mustard and ketchup with one of my lower calorie buns. 400 calories total. Great lunch! I added a large bowl of veggie soup and 1 tsp of olive oil to this meal. Very satisfying.

Steel Magnolia's
People who attend MerleFest are aware of the quality and diversity of the entertainment offered, but many would be surprised to know the economic impact the festival makes on non-profit civic and service organizations in Northwest North Carolina. In our newsletter, we would like to focus on some of those groups and tell about the good works that result from their hard work and dedication at MerleFest.
Since 2003 Steel Magnolias, a Wilkes County Relay for Life team, has played a major role in MerleFest. From 2003-2006 they were responsible for Flattop's One Stop (now MerleFest's Convenience Store) and in 2007 and 2008 have provided workers each day in the MerleFest Gift Shop. The members of Steel Magnolias welcome the opportunity to make sure their customers, who come from all over the world, feel welcomed and appreciated and hope they will take home memories of warm hospitality.
This hospitable attitude is just the beginning of the Steel Magnolias' contributions to our area. One hundred percent of the money the team makes working at the festival is given to the American Cancer Society. Members Sandy Day and Annette Battle speak for the team in saying, "Our team members benefit from our involvement with MerleFest because we feel that we have all been touched by cancer in our community, our families, our churches, and our lives. This is one way that we can help with research programs, research grants, and advocacy."
The Steel Magnolias participation in MerleFest benefits the community by raising awareness and funds for the American Cancer Society. In addition, they serve as a support group for people with cancer and their families as well as for survivors of cancer. MerleFest thanks the Steel Magnolias for their great contribution to the festival and for their valiant effort in the fight against cancer.

Linux Foundation Reveals Enterprise Adoption Survey Results
Linux usage and adoption poised for further growth.
The Linux Foundation along with Yeoman Technology Group have released the results of a survey that polled members of the Linux Foundation End User Council and government agencies, and private organizations. Of the nearly 2,000 Linux users polled, roughly 20 percent of the respondents represented companies with US$ 500 million in revenues or employed at least 500 employees.
The results are encouraging. Of those polled, 66 percent choose Linux for new deployments over Windows and Unix. Similarly 68 percent of those polled are in the process of or have already migrated from Windows or Unix to Linux. As a result of increased adoption, the survey found that Linux use is expected to grow by 76.4 percent during the next five years.
Some other interesting results gleaned from the survey were also encouraging. For example, traditionally the primary driver for Linux adoption has been cost-effectiveness. This survey found that the primary driver is now technological superiority. That said, 40.4 percent of respondents indicated that the recent economic downturn has caused their companies to increase Linux use, though 58.6 percent say the recession has had no effect on adoption. The vast majority of respondents (86.5 percent) believe that Linux continues to improve.
Cloud adoption was surprisingly low with only 26 percent of respondents planning to move services or applications to the cloud in the next year, as opposed to the 40 percent majority that has no plans to move at this time. The biggest obstacle to Linux adoption is an unsurprising one. Driver availability was the primary concern about adoption, followed closely by interoperability.
In all, the results were positive for the adoption of Linux and perceptions of the operating system as a whole, speaking volumes about adoption and the future. If Linux grows at the rate predicted in the survey, Linux IT professionals will be in high demand.

Top-rated pitching prospect Julio Teheran led a group of four Triple-A Gwinnett Braves named to the International League All-Star team on Thursday.
Center fielder Jose Constanza, first baseman Mauro Gomez and designated hitter Stefan Gartrell were also selected to the IL All-Star team, which will face the Pacific Coast League All-Stars in Salt Lake City on July 13.
Gwinnett trainer Mike Graus was also named to the IL All-Star staff.
Teheran turned 20 in January and is the youngest player on the IL All-Star team. He was 8-1 with a 1.79 ERA in 13 starts for Gwinnett, and already made two spot starts for the major-league Braves (0-1, 5.19 ERA).
It should be a memorable week for Teheran, who previously was selected along with Braves Double-A right-hander Arodys Vizcaino to play in the July 10 Futures Game during All-Star Weekend at Phoenix.

I remember a reject the Braves didnt want, name Jeff Francoeur, who is hitting .261, HR11, RBI 47, SB 13. All better than the great Chipper Jones, Heyward, Schafer, Mclouth and Prado who is hurt. Just because a player fails with one team doesnt mean he cant jumpstart is career somewhere else. Julio Franco is another case of someone who was old and a reject who helped the Braves off the bench.
June 30th, 2011
5:14 pm
Check JF's stats, 1st 60 games w/KC and games since then. He's done the same at every stop. You can't get him out for a couple of months, then he can't get arrested.
June 30th, 2011
5:17 pm
From that post about Frenchy:
"Jeff Francoeur is the new hot chick in your class that after a month you find out is totally crazy (or to be less sexist, he's the cute guy that seems funny and sensitive until you find out he lives with his parents, is unemployed, and spends all day playing Call of Duty). The Royals are just finding that out now."

Sounds like a big bat or two to me.
June 30th, 2011
6:19 pm
I don't think Minor has much of a future here with all those young guns coming up. He's not needed here, but other teams would be more than willing to give us a big bat for him + another player. It's a bummer the Yankees are "scared of Braves pitching" since they're about the only team I can think of who would trade for Lowe.
June 30th, 2011
7:17 pm
yankees scared of braves as brer rabbit said please don't throw me in the briar patch
June 30th, 2011

JJ or Hanson will have to be moved (unless we get new ownership). Now might be the time IF we can get a major impact player (Kemp) will do…
June 30th, 2011
7:35 pm
Teheran is ready!
June 30th, 2011
8:00 pm
How far is Jose Constanza from being ready for the major league team? Can he hit and steal bases?
I think Teheran should get the callup now! Find someplace to unload Lowe.
June 30th, 2011
9:04 pm
Constanza weak arm in CF with no power. Similar to McLouse but with more speed. Also, Constanza is another lefty bat or he would probably have already been up. We need a righthanded bat in the OF, thus Ramirez is up.
July 1st, 2011
3:41 am
His name should be Jorge Constanza just for laughs. Of course, we would have to trade him to the Yankees…
July 1st, 2011
8:11 am
Relax, we will know within the next 30 days if Wren pulls the trigger and then we will have to wait and see who benefits from another of his great trades( uh' ), wonder who ???????????????????
July 1st, 2011
8:16 am
The only problem with trading Minor is he is our only LH pitcher.
July 1st, 2011
8:19 am
We will get new ownership before JJ and Hanson are free agents.
July 1st, 2011
8:28 am
[...] Atlanta Braves [...]
July 1st, 2011
11:16 am
Hold on! If Wren hurries maybe he can trade Teheran, Vizcaino, Delgado, Hoover, and another prospect or two and rent Pujols for the remainder of the season. After all, that would mirror the Teixeira trade. That one worked out well- for Texas. But then Bradley says the trade wasn't that bad. WWII wasn't bad for Japaneither, was it?
July 1st, 2011
11:23 am
Let's throw Bradley in on a trade and promote DOB.
July 1st, 2011
11:24 am
BTW, the trade object for the Braves should be Cuddyer from the Twins, let's get'er done.
July 1st, 2011
5:05 pm
Stand pat, Braves. Don't trade any prospects. When the hitters gel, we'll push Philly.

7 notes &
I angry blogged this last night and than quietly slipped into a peaceful hibernation full of dreams about Prince William and Kate Middleton watching the Lion King together before I could post it. It was probably God's kind way of saying, "You sound like an asshole and should delete this immediately."
Well, guy who wears jeans to the gym and has vigorous workouts is still unfortunately a major part of my life. I have given him the very original nickname of "jeans". I refuse to capitalize the "j" in jeans because I hate him with every fiber of my face. For those who weren't aware, my face is made of cotton and rayon and my grandfather is Eli Whitney's butler.
Sometimes I come across people and I immediately dislike them without rhyme or reason. I don't know what it is about them, maybe it's their musk, anorexic like appearance or salty attitude, but sometimes I hate people immediately on sight. jeans is one of those people. From the moment he walked into the gym I was instantly, "Fuck that guy to Hell!" jeans is apparently like a cat because the more I seem to detest him the more he seems to gravitate towards me. I'm the sun, he is the moon, our gym is the dinosaur race and my anger is a meteorite. That doesn't make any fucking sense! Anyways, whenever I get on a treadmill he hops on the one right next to mine. He wants us to be friendly neighbors! I think he wants me to be Clarissa (Explains It All?) and he wants to be Sam, her attractive next door neighbor. Get your hair cut Sam! You'll never get a job! I'm convinced he's convinced I like him! Every so often he casually glances at me like I'm giving him seductive fuck me eyes. In reality jeans I'm giving you "fuck you" eyes.
For god sakes you're wearing JEANS at a gym! I might as well not wear a bra! It's insanity. Your sweaty skin is chaffing against raw denim. For some reason this makes me think you probably get lots of yeast infections. You're not Patrick Swayze and this
unfortunately isn't Roadhouse so stop trying. Little known fact, Patrick Swayze never had a yeast infection in his life.
Today, I found out jeans is a spitter (not in the sexual sense). After he "works out" he goes outside to spit on the sidewalk. I will never understand why men think it's appropriate or manly to do this. Unless you're drunk or under the age of 15 months, it is never acceptable to spit, retch or urinate in public. I was deathly ill with the common cold last month and was so congested I felt like Richard Gere with two hamsters lodged in the back of my throat and yet, I still resisted the urge to hock a loogie (yet I still managed to urinate in public). I swallowed it (I mean that sexually) and proceeded life like a lady. It was disgusting.

Dodd described his team's attitude going into the game as, "loose, relaxed and full of confidence. They didn't feel intimidated or get caught up in the moment," he said.

Cleveland Park Mystery Book Club Selection for February
Published on Thursday, January 19, 2012 - 10:39am
On Thursday, February 2, the Mystery Book Club will discuss Barry Maitland's Dark Mirror, the 10th in the series featuring New Scotland Yard DCI David Brock and DI Kathy Kolla. Maitland's police procedurals have been described as "whydunits," concerned with the histories and motivations of the characters. Known for their atmospheric settings, each book in the series takes place in a different part of London, in this case, the London Library. This series appeals to readers of hard boiled and clue/puzzle fiction. Visit Maitland's website for descriptions of the books in the series and interesting information about the author.
The Cleveland Park Mystery Book Club meets on the first Thursday of the month at Barnes & Noble, 12th and E streets N.W., at 6:30 p.m.
