Washington, D.C. (CNN) — Two steps forward, one step back.
A surge of optimism for a possible compromise to end the partial government shutdown and avoid a U.S. default as soon as this week got jolted with the sudden announcement on Monday that a White House meeting between President Barack Obama and congressional leaders had been postponed.
In a brief statement, the White House said the meeting announced earlier in the day was postponed "to allow leaders in the Senate time to continue making important progress" toward a solution.
It was unclear if the postponement signaled a problem or was needed to give more time for talks between Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and his Republican counterpart, Mitch McConnell, to finish an agreement that could win approval in the Senate and the House.
Negotiations heated up Monday, with the Democratic and Republican leaders signaling progress toward a positive result.
"I'm very optimistic that we will reach an agreement that's reasonable in nature this week to reopen the government, pay the nation's bills, and begin long-term negotiation to put our country on sound fiscal footing," Reid said about an hour before he and other Democratic and GOP leaders were to have met with Obama.
McConnell said he shared Reid's optimism that "we're going to get a result that will be acceptable to both sides."
At the same time, both sides noted that nothing had been finalized.
Now, the postponement of the meeting with Obama and Vice President Joe Biden raised a new question mark in the process.
During a visit Monday to a local food kitchen, Obama cited "some progress" in the Senate negotiations. But he also warned of what he called continued partisan brinksmanship by House Republicans.
"We'll see this afternoon whether this progress is real," Obama said before the meeting with congressional leaders was postponed.
"I think there has been some progress in the Senate," he continued, adding that House Republicans "continue to think that somehow they can extract concessions by keeping the government shut down or by threatening default, and my hope is a spirit of cooperation will move us forward over the next few hours."
Separately, House Speaker John Boehner and other top House GOP leaders planned to meet later Monday to discuss their options and consider preparing their own bill to raise the federal borrowing limit in the event the Senate talks break down.
The political stalemate in Washington caused the government to start shutting down on October 1 because Congress failed to authorize spending for the new fiscal year, which started that day.
Another deadline looms on Thursday, when the Treasury says it will need Congress to raise the debt ceiling so it can borrow more money to pay all the government's bills.
During his visit to Martha's Pantry in Washington, Obama said the congressional leaders could "solve this problem today."
He warned that a default, in which the government would lack enough cash on hand to pay down its debt obligations as well as other daily bills such as Social Security checks "could have a potentially devastating effect on our economy."
"We've already had a damaging effect on our economy because of the shutdown," he said. "That damage would be greatly magnified if we don't make sure that government's paying its bills, and that has to be decided this week."
Sen. Joe Manchin of West Virginia told CNN early Monday that a deal was 70% to 80% done, while Republican Sen. Bob Corker of Tennessee cited progress in talks with Manchin and other colleagues from both parties.
"I'm more optimistic today at 9:50 (a.m.) than I was at last night when I went to bed," Corker told reporters.
However, Manchin and moderate GOP Sen. Susan Collins of Maine, who have spearheaded the bipartisan talks, warned more work needs to be done. According to Manchin, Reid and McConnell must work out vital specifics.
The two party leaders met around twice in the morning and early afternoon, and they offered their optimistic assessments following their second face-to-face discussion.
According to Manchin, the framework under consideration would temporarily fund the government to end the shutdown and also raise the federal borrowing limit for a limited period.
At the same time, the proposal would set up House-Senate negotiations on a budget for fiscal year 2014, and delay for two years a tax on medical devices imposed under Obama's signature health care reforms, Manchin said.
In another provision involving the 2010 Affordable Care Act, known as Obamacare, the proposed compromise would strengthen verification measures for people getting federal subsidies to purchase health insurance.
Manchin told CNN's "New Day" that Reid and McConnell now "need to put the numbers to it."
Early blowback from conservatives focused on the proposed budget talks, which would include flexibility to soften or eliminate forced spending cuts known as sequestration that were part of the agreement that resolved the last congressional showdown over the debt ceiling in 2011.
Corker said Democrats have retreated from a weekend push for the deal to wipe out the sequestration cuts, signaling progress on an issue that could have derailed agreement by both the Democratic-led Senate and the Republican-led House.
"It appeared the Democrats had wandered off the reservation and overreached over the last 48 hours," said Corker, a veteran of many congressional budget battles.
CNN political analyst John Avlon said Monday that Democrats wanted to press what they perceive as an advantage over Republicans on how the public is perceiving the latest round of Washington budget and deficit brinksmanship.
"What's behind it (are) poll numbers that saw Republicans getting their butt kicked because of this whole gamesmanship," Avlon said.
Manchin said the brinksmanship was a chance to address what he called the "draconian cuts" of sequestration.
A new round of the across-the-board spending cuts for the military and other non-entitlement programs takes effect on January 15, he said.
Sticking point
As reported by CNN Chief Congressional Correspondent Dana Bash and CNN Senior White House Correspondent Jim Acosta, the main sticking point for now involves how long an agreement would fund the government to end the shutdown and increase the debt limit to enable required federal borrowing.
Democrats want the debt ceiling increase to extend as long as possible to avoid similar showdowns in coming months.
At the same time, they seek a temporary spending plan to reopen the government while formal budget negotiations work out a longer-term agreement that can negate the impacts of the forced sequestration cuts.
Republicans, however, want a longer spending proposal that would lock in the planned sequestration cuts in coming months, with a shorter debt ceiling extension in order to negotiate further deficit-reduction measures.
Watching developments closely in Washington, Wall Street greeted news of apparent progress in the Senate positively. Stock indexes gained in afternoon trading after sharp early losses to start the week. Bond markets were closed for Columbus Day
Political leaders were mindful of the impact on financial markets if they signaled possible failure to avoid a default.
"I believe we can do it," Democratic Sen. Dick Durbin of Illinois said Sunday on NBC's "Meet the Press." "I hope sensible people prevail, because at this point, it's not just a shutdown and all of the damage it's caused, but if we default on our debt, it will have a dramatic impact on the savings account, on the retirement account of average Americans."
On the other side of the aisle, Republican Sen. Rob Portman of Ohio said he also thinks Congress will find a way out of the crisis before Thursday, when the United States hits the debt ceiling.
"We will have decided as a Congress that we need to avoid going over the debt limit, and we'll figure it out. And it will probably be a relatively short-term solution," Portman said.
A weekend of rejections
Despite the positive prognoses, the only actions over the weekend involved one "no" after another.
• Reid said Saturday the plan Collins was assembling was no longer on the table, because it treated reopening the government as a "concession." Reid continues to demand that any plan include a "clean" bill, one that raises the debt limit and reopens the government with no strings attached. However, Manchin's comments Monday indicated the Collins plan remained alive.
• Republicans blocked a measure to extend the debt limit with no strings attached, refusing to support a procedural vote that would have brought it to the Senate floor.
• House Republican leaders said Obama rejected their proposal for a six-week extension of the federal debt ceiling.
• Meanwhile, Republicans objected to the prospect being floated over the weekend that the forced spending cuts of sequestration, which have cut deeply into federal operations since March, might be rolled back under any eventual deal.
The Treasury Department said it will be unable to pay the government's bills unless the debt limit is increased by Thursday.
Christine Lagarde, head of the International Monetary Fund, said Saturday the consequences of a failure to raise the debt limit would be dire for economies around the world. She spoke to CNN's Richard Quest at an Institute of International Finance conference in Washington.
"You know, I've just spent the last two days with representatives of about 188 countries around the world. I wouldn't say they are confident. I would say they are concerned, and they are very anxious to see this crisis resolved, because they know it's going to impact on their economy," Lagarde said.
Obama spoke by phone with House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi on Sunday to discuss the ongoing battle over the shutdown, the White House said. The two agreed on the need for a "clean debt limit increase" and a "clean continuing resolution to open up the government and end the shutdown."
Mindful that the Thursday deadline is days away, House Republican leaders are considering all their options even as Republican and Democratic Senate leaders try to craft a deal on the debt ceiling, said a GOP leadership aide, speaking on the condition of anonymity.
One option Republican leaders are considering is sending back a measure to the Senate that would increase the debt limit; exactly what it would contain is unknown at this time.
But the aide noted that the House is able to move quicker than the Senate, and this idea could come into play. If a decision were made to pursue this idea, then it would require Democratic support to pass in the House.
Senate Democrats meet with president
Senate Democrats met with Obama on Saturday, and a Senate Democratic leadership aide said the party is unified.
"Democrats are willing to negotiate on anything Republicans want to discuss as soon as we reopen the government and pay our bills," said the aide.
Another Democratic source said party leaders regard Republicans as lacking a coherent position. They hope McConnell can "cut through the clutter," the source told CNN's Dana Bash.
The sources, who are familiar with the talks, spoke on the condition of anonymity so they could speak candidly.
Even as he demanded a "clean" bill, Reid said he and McConnell are involved in "cordial" and "preliminary" discussions.
"I hope that our talking is some solace to the American people and the world," Reid said. He said McConnell had approached him. "This hasn't happened until now."

Brunch Comes to Poland
Polish has no word for a leisurely, late-morning meal, but brunch is catching on in Krakow, with french toast, stiff drinks, and schmoozing
By 12:45, Adam Popiel, who hosts a local radio show Power Nap, appears in uniform: massive headphones around his neck. He grew up in Massachusetts to Polish parents, who are thrilled he's connecting to the Jewish community after living here for almost a decade. JCC staffer Kasia Leonardi wanders in shortly after. She usually attends with her mother and sister, who all prepare the weekly Shabbat meals that draw more than 70 people to the JCC. While Shabbat draws a wide spectrum of people from various age groups, brunch typically attracts the younger generations. It's not uncommon for people to stumble in hung-over after a Saturday night out.
Aside from these meals, the JCC hosts language classes and lectures, an active seniors club, and events for people of all ages. At the legendary JCC dance parties, rabbis and professors mingle among the imbibing, youthful crowd. When I moved here to conduct fieldwork for my master's thesis on souvenirs and art representing Jews, I yearned to engage with the community, and that's how I ended up joining the JCC—and soon after that, the JCC had its first brunch.
"Who is ready for Slivovitz?!" Ornstein asks, lifting up a slim glass bottle of plum brandy labeled in Hebrew. Joanna grins, then cowers in her seat. It's barely after 1 p.m., but shots are poured and we toast: "L'chaim na zdrowie!" A few weeks earlier we'd sampled raspberry nalewka (traditional fruit-infused vodka), homemade by Sylwia Płucisz, who explained the art of nalewka-making. At upcoming brunches, we'll be serving JCC Brunch Beer, specially branded and labeled for our events.
Adam's semi-regular co-host Phil Manchester, a Brit who sometimes attends the JCC brunch, once told me, "It's an American thing if you think alcohol is standard with brunch." He's right; even though the term "brunch" was coined in 1895 by an Englishman, after five years of eating brunch in New York before my move to Krakow, I've always adopted the American view that alcohol is part of the experience. That, and french toast; while we add other dishes to the menu from week to week—once, a fluffy banana-chocolate-chip cake made by local restaurateur Jerzy Lewinski was a highlight—the challah french toast is always available.
The timing, too, is a key part of any brunch: starting late, and staying for hours. Joanna's farewell brunch lasts until almost 3 in the afternoon, typical for our gatherings, with people grazing and talking and grazing some more. Schmoozing, to use the Yiddish term—talking without any particular direction. "Brunch here is like Seinfeld," Ornstein says, his youthful grin emerging. "It's successful because the only agenda is no agenda, just letting people express themselves."
As people start saying goodbyes, the few of us remaining clean up together. Some of us relocate into the kitchen, to continue the conversation while we wash dishes, and then we move on to our favorite local café, Cheder. Brunch usually ends this way, but today is particularly bittersweet because Joanna is leaving town. We're discussing another event for the brunch crowd: challah grilled cheese with tomato soup for dinner, endorsed by brunch regulars and others who work Sundays and still want to partake in the schmoozing.
Joanna starts to chuckle and asks, "When's my next trip to Krakow?"

Two years ago my grandmother had to come live with my mom. She was 86 and healthy, but beginning to forget to pay her bills, take her BP meds, and she wasn't eating healthy enough.
The first thing Mom did was take her to the doctor for a full check up to see how her overall health was doing. The doc said she had the beginnings of Alzheimer's, and put her on medication for it (sorry, I can't remember the name of the pills! :/ ) The doc said to try the pills for 6 months.
Within a week or so, Grandma became difficult to deal with: she didn't like anything and had trouble remembering the names of close relatives. She was so cranky, she wouldn't eat her food, and didn't like anything.
Mom took her back to the doc and the doc said it was the Alzheimer's getting worse, and to stay the course and keep her on her meds. Mom did this for two more months, but Grandma was getting worse and more cranky and downright mean.
This is when I suggested she start giving her coconut oil daily and get her off whatever those pills were. Mom informed the doc of the plan and, of course, the doc didn't like it, but said to let her know how it goes.
Very soon, days after getting off those pills, she started getting back to where she was when Mom took her in. She was much more pleasant, and ate her food without complaining – turns out the pills made her food all taste terrible and caused irritability.
After a few weeks of gradually increasing her coconut oil intake and working up to 3 TBS daily, Grandma had improved even beyond where she was when she first came to live with Mom. Her memory was improving and her confusion was gone. She was pleasant and happy to be with us: she was a fully functioning 86 year old! Even some of her aches and pains were better! The only two meds she was on were BP and Synthroid, both of which now needed to be lowered, as she just didn't need them so much anymore!
That was two years ago and now, at the age of 88, Grandma is still taking the coconut oil and has not lost one bit of her alertness, memory, or character! Coconut oil gave my Grandma back to us!

Law & Politics
The CCP is Russia's running dog! Putin tells Hu JinTao – Take a crap for me BOY! Hu says Yes SIR! What color do you need it SIR!
I can see why Russia and China voted against the latest UNSC resolution proposal introduced by the Arab League, as Russia is Assad's number one arms supplier, and is the only country in the region that allows a Russian navy base to be present………………………….so Russia will lose much when Assad falls!
China also stands to lose much prestige too, as the third largest supplier of arms to the Assad regime, and stands to lose investments in Syria, similar to the CCP investments lost in Libya after Qaddafi fell from power!
Once again, China supports the wrong side! And when Assad does fall, I guess we'll hear the same announcement from the CCP of how 'China supports the people of Syria' after Assad is gone, Then the CCP will scratch their heads once again, wondering why the Syrian people no longer wish to allow Chinese investments into their country, for the very same reasons why the Libyan people no longer want Chinese investments back into their country today!
Even when China and Russia vote 'no' to try and protect their influence in Syria, they don't even realize they have already lost their credibility with the entire Arab League by voting against the UNSC!
China and Russia have learned nothing from the Libyan experience!
Ooh we just lost the no fly zone!

For a long time, we always thought all RED INDIANS, MEXICANS, GERMAN are BAD GUYS until the INTERNET came along and exposed the truth. DEMON like the one invented their own truth and above is constantly and suddenly ridiculed like now.
I dont think Assad will be dethroned. Russia seems very sure he will stay in power. Perhaps there are thousands of Russian military advisors on the ground now in Syria. No that the UN gives Assad the green light to kill as many people he wants – those countries that cringe at dictators slaughtering opposition will now have to tick off Syria as another North Korea and ignore the deaths, even if hundreds of thousands. The UN is broken, this should have never went to a vote. Russia and China use their Veto's without regards to whats right but to help whats wrong.
Why do they celebrate? After all, "evil" Assad kills them by 1 million a day.
Ah, I see! They do not read the venal Western press.
North Korea, Pakistan, Iran, and now Syria…China is making all sorts of interesting friends these days. Would anyone want to live in any of these places though?
I think the USA and Europe should back off on Syria and just forget about the loss of life there. The most important thing the USA and Europe should be doing now is punishing CHINA for destroying the global economy with its CHEATING. The west only needs to destroy China then all bad guys, Syria, North Korea etc. will fall – Game over.
The veto is done so that the west would not again abuse it by invading and massacring people of Syria in a scale which would be a multiple of today's losses of lives. The world never learn from Libya or does it?
@ Lorne Smith
More NONSENSE from this funny white idiot who continue to stay in China.
Get out of there, HYPOCRITE!
China will ignore reality and the facts on the ground for as long as possible and follow Russia's lead. Then it will switch sides when Assad goes down.
It is illegal to replace the leader of a country by foreign force as well as by any UN decision. It is Syria people who can decide the future of the country.
"…also stands to lose much prestige."
NO WAY! Every time China stands up to imperialist powers, the world cheers.
"House slave" Ms Rice should remember MLK's words: "we shd embrace our colored brothers and sisters; and not wage war against them!"
UN must take action against the Imperialist occupation of Tibet !
UN must take action against the Syrian regime and its cronies!

@OODA loop, Lorne Smith
YEAH, free Tibet from the medieval monks and these licentious lamas !! Especially here in America, many naive women devotees got tricked into having sex with their lamas. When SEX is a part of the religious rites, one really has to question the credibility of these "cults". S0 many lamas and gurus have free sex with many of their devotees. Hence, the hard question need to asked: "Are these so called religions no longer a religion, but a cult. The Tibetan Buddhism as practiced by the DL and his monks here in America certainly raises that issue of dishonesty time and again. It's based on a charismatic swindler with his duplicitous tongue, serving up platitudes and bromides, depending on how he's figured out to trick the subject.
The FTC ought to be doing their job here. Just like what they did with the Moonies and the Indian Swami, Bhagwam Shree Rajneesh or Osho, who operated a billion dollar scam from his commune in rural Oregon. Americans are such patsies for such kinds of SMOOTH talking scoundrels. They never learn.
OODA loop STAT and WSJ editor who deleted our post in support of OODA loop STAT,

The world should have another voice,it is common!right?
I have no idea why the western governments are willing to start a war in another country because of 'human rights'. I feel very sorry for those who lost their lives in the conflict. However, when i saw the news of the continuous bomb attacks and the terrifying number of death in IRAQ after the war,a thought came to my mind 'Where are victims' human rights?Their right of being alive has been neglected.'. I think China make the right choice this time.
@deportthelicentious lamas, name one Tibetan lama involved in a sex scandal?!
Voices of dissent inside China's Communist Party over the Xi Jinping's long-running anti-graft campaign appear to have gained enough currency to make some in the leadership nervous.
China's evolving legal system is a study in contrasts: the Party is taking new steps toward legal reform, but they coexist with the Maoist practice of show trials and public confessions.
The recent study examining the lives and labors of Communist party cadres in Shandong province is noteworthy not only because it shows that many Chinese officials have a tough time staying clean. It's also a telling example of the tension within China's political circles about the best way to wage war against corruption.
The removal from office of a long-serving police chief in Tianjin, one of China's largest cities, is a vivid example of the problems facing Chinese law reform, writes veteran China legal scholar Stanley Lubman.

The Victorian Order of Nurses celebrated its 117th birthday this week by highlighting a new exercise program that's already helped 800 people across Northwestern Ontario. With this birthday's theme being This is what independence looks like! the program helps seniors keep their balance and strength, preventing falls and helping them stay active in their communities.
"And keep them in their homes," VON Canada's Northwestern Ontario executive director Joan Wekner said.
Seniors want to stay in their homes. Programs offered by VON not only make that happen, but it also helps reduce costly hospital visits and longterm care home stays. VON Canada homecaer vice-president Sharon Goodwin said that helps keep the cost of health care down.
"The more we prevent illness and injury the better off we all are in society," she said.
As for the VON's birthday, Goodwin said she's proud of the organization's work over the past 117 years.
"We're a Canadian institution and we're really one of a kind," she said.

The USC Trojans baseball program represents the University of Southern California in college baseball. Established in 1888, the team is a member of the National Collegiate Athletic Association and the Pacific-12 Conference. The head coach of the Trojans is Dan Hubbs, who has held the position since the start of the 2013 season. USC home's field is Dedeaux Field, which is named in honor of former coach Rod Dedeaux.
The USC Trojans are arguably the most dominant program in the history of college baseball. With 12 baseball national championships, USC is far and away the leader in that category; no other school has more than six. Since 1924, the Trojans have compiled a record of 2,221-1,093-15 (.669) against college opponents, and have captured outright or tied for 38 conference championships. USC's most notable baseball coach was Rod Dedeaux, who coached from 1942 from 1986 and led the school to 11 of its NCAA crowns, including five straight from 1970 to 1974. The first Trojan national championship came in 1948. The 12th and most recent title came in 1998.

The early years[edit]
The Trojans began recognizing baseball as a school sport in 1889. As with many programs during the late 19th century and early 20th century, the Trojans lacked a consistent head coach, when they even had one at all. It wasn't until 1908 that the Trojans had an official head coach, Harvey Holmes, but Holmes only coached the team for 1 year. Holmes also coached other sports at USC including football and track. The team would get another coach during the 1911 season, Curtiss Bernard. Bernard also only coached for a year, and in 1912 the Trojans once again had a one-year coach in Len Burrell.
During the World War I years, the USC baseball team was made up mostly of law school students, but opened the team up to all students for the 1916 and 1917 season. Following the conclusion of the war, the baseball team was coached by "Gloomy Gus" Henderson in 1920. Henderson would join forces with Willis Hunter as co-coaches for the 1921 season, but the team was left without a coach for the 1922 season. In 1923 the team was coached by George Wheeler, who also coached the law students during the 1914 season. Wheeler coached the team for a year, and would mark the last time the Trojan baseball team has lacked consistency at the coaching position.
Sam Crawford era[edit]
Sam Crawford took over as head coach of USC baseball in 1924. Crawford would mark the end of inconsistency at the coaching ranks for the baseball program. During his tenure, the program slowly began to rise to national prominence, and Crawford helped to create the California Intercollegiate Baseball Association in 1927. Crawford coached the Trojans for 6 years before turning the reigns over to Sam Barry. All in all, Crawford compiled a record of 59-46-3, including a second place finish during the initial campaign for the CIBA.
Sam Barry era[edit]
In 1930, Sam Barry took over the USC baseball program and immediately built off the success his predecessor had. On his arrival at USC in 1929, he was named head basketball coach, and was made an assistant for the USC football team under his friend and colleague, Howard Jones. When Jones died suddenly in 1941, Barry was named his successor, and served as head coach for all three major USC sports teams simultaneously. Barry won the CIBA title in his first year finishing 11-2 and 25-5-1 overall. During the next decade, Barry would claim four more CIBA titles. Barry coached the Trojans from 1930-1941 before joining the Navy during World War II. As he left, he recommended that Jeff Cravath become the head football coach, Julie Bescos become the head basketball coach, and Rod Dedeaux, the captain of his 1935 team, become the head baseball coach. Upon his return, Barry would resume coaching the Trojans alongside Dedeaux. Barry finished with a career mark of 219-89-3. He remains only one of three coaches to coach a Final Four game and in a College World Series. Barry was elected to the inaugural class of the American Baseball Coaches Association Hall of Fame in 1966.
Barry-Dedeaux years[edit]
When Sam Barry returned from World War II in 1946, Barry and Dedeaux served as co-coaches, with Dedeaux running the team each year until Barry finished the basketball season. The arrangement was so successful that USC won the College World Series in 1948.
1948 National Championship[edit]
After finishing the season 40-12-1, USC met Yale for 1948 NCAA Division I baseball championship at the second College World Series. The CWS in 1948 was a best 2-out-of-3 format. The games were played on June 25 and June 26, with June 26 being a doubleheader if necessary. USC won the first game, 3-1 to take a 1-0 series lead, but lost game 2 by a score of 8-3. The third and final game immediately followed game 2. USC scored a run in the first inning and never looked back. USC claimed their first National Championship with a game 3 victory, 9-2. Although USC won, they were unable to prevent future President of the United States of America, George Bush, from collecting a double in the final game.[1]
Rod Dedeaux era[edit]
After being co-head coach in 1942 with his former college coach Sam Barry, Dedeaux took over the USC program in 1943. Barry recommended Dedeaux to coach the team when Sam Barry joined the Navy. Dedeaux coached the Trojans by himself for the next three years, until once again joining forces with Barry as co-head coaches. After Barry's death in September 1950, Dedeaux became the sole coach of USC baseball.
After taking over in 1951, Dedeaux became the sole coach and proceeded to build on the early success to establish the strongest program in collegiate baseball. The Trojans claimed 11 straight CIBA titles in Dedeaux first 11 years. The Trojans claimed 9 outright titles and tied for 1st in 1953 and 1957. Following the 1957 campaign, Dedeaux's team finished the season 36-8 overall and earned the first of his 10 national titles as sole coach.

1978 National Championship[edit]
Retirement and Legacy[edit]
After a total of 45 years as head coach of USC, Dedeaux decided to retire following the 1986 campaign. Dedeaux drastically changed college baseball and left historic marks on the sport that might never be touched. All in all, Dedeaux won a total of 11 national championships, 10 by himself and 1 with Sam Barry, compiled a record of 1,332-571-11, and completed and unbelievable stretch of 37 years without a losing season. He retired as the winningest coach in college baseball history and held that distinction until 1994 when Texas head coach Cliff Gustafson broke it.
While he was at USC, Dedeaux also served as coach of the United States team at both the 1964 Summer Olympics in Tokyo, Japan, and the 1984 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles, with baseball being a demonstration sport prior to its elevation to full medal status in 1988.
Following his retirement, Dedeaux became the Director of Baseball for USC, and for the rest of his life remained a beloved annual presence at the College World Series in Omaha, Nebraska. The field the Trojans currently play their games at is named after him. He was inducted into the American Baseball Coaches Association's Hall of Fame in 1970, and in 1999 was named the Coach of the Century by Collegiate Baseball magazine.
Dedeaux died at age 91 in Glendale, California, of complications from a December 2, 2005, stroke.[2] He was survived by his wife of 66 years, the former Helen Jones, and their four children. On July 4, 2006, he was a member of the first class of inductees into the College Baseball Hall of Fame.
Post Rod Dedeaux[edit]
Mike Gillespie[edit]
Following a legend is never an easy task, but USC reached out to one of Rod Dedeaux's former players to replace the recently retired coach. Gillespie played under Dedeaux from 1960–1962, and after a successful coaching stint at the College of the Canyons, Gillespie was named just the 4th Head Coach of USC since 1924.
1998 National Championship[edit]
Gillespie was named National Coach of the year in 1998.
Retirement and legacy[edit]
After 20 years as the head coach of the Trojans, Gillespie decided to step down following the 2006 season. During his career, Gillespie kept Trojan baseball in the spotlight, especially in the years leading up to and following the 1998 championship. He finished with an overall record of 763-471-2 during his tenure as coach of the Trojans. As a result of his success, Gillespie earned the honor to coach the 2000 USA National Team. During his tenure he was named Pac-10 coach of the year 4 times, while his teams produced 44 All-America selections 94 draft picks, and 25 major league players.
After sitting out the 2007 season, Gillespie was named coach of the UC Irvine Anteaters in September 2007. Gillespie replaced Dave Serrano, who had just guided the Anteaters to their first CWS appearance but left to take over at Cal State Fullerton, his alma mater, after George Horton left Fullerton to head the new program at Oregon.[3]
Chad Kreuter[edit]
In June 2006, Chad Kreuter became only the fourth man to earn the title of Head Baseball Coach at USC. Kreuter replaced his father-in-law, Mike Gillespie, after Gillespie retired. Kreuter was charged with restoring USC baseball into a national powerhouse once again, and stated his two main goals were to get to Omaha and prepare his players for the Major Leagues.
Kreuter failed to make the post-season in each of his four years. He had a combined record of 111-117 during his four years as head coach, never posting a winning record. During his tenure, the Trojans twice finished in last place in the Pac-10, and never higher than 5th in the conference. Although his players flourished in the classroom, he came under heavy criticism late in his tenure.[4] He was relieved of his duties in August 2010 and replaced by assistant coach and former Loyola Marymount head coach Frank Cruz.[5]
Dedeaux Field[edit]
Dedeaux field is a baseball stadium in Los Angeles, California. it is the home field for the University of Southern California Trojans college baseball team. It is named after the former USC legendary coach Rod Dedeaux, who coached from 1942 to 1986. The Trojans moved into the ballpark in 1974, the same year they won their fifth consecutive College World Series title. After many renovations, the current capacity is 2,500 people.

- Ingredients
- 8 lasagna noodles, cooked
- 1 (10 ounce) package Green Giant frozen chopped spinach, thawed and well drained
- 1 (15 ounce) container ricotta
- 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese
- 1 egg
- 1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
- 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasonings
- salt and pepper, if desired
- 1 (15 ounce) can Muir Glen organic pizza sauce
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- Directions
- 1Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- 2In a medium bowl combine spinach, ricotta, Parmesan cheese, egg, garlic, and Italian seasonings. Add salt and pepper if desired.
- 3Pat noodles dry with a paper towel and lay them on parchment or wax paper. Cut each noodle in half widthwise. Fill each noodle with 2-3 tablespoons of the ricotta mixture, leaving an inch empty on one side of the noodle. Start rolling each noodle up, ending on the side that has one inch empty. This is so that the filling doesn't spill out the end.
- 4Slice each noodle in half with a sharp knife and place roll seam side down in a baking dish that has been sprayed with cooking spray. Make sure you have a dish that has a 1-2 inch edge so that you can cover it with foil later and not mess up the rolls. If you like your pasta with crispy edges, no need to cover it.
- 5Place 1 teaspoon of pizza sauce on top of each roll and top each with a teaspoon of mozzarella.
- 6Cover baking dish tightly with foil and bake for 18-20 minutes or until cheese is melted inside. Serve with warm pizza sauce for dipping.
- 7Freezer instructions: Prepare as directed above but freeze right before baking. Reheat by baking for 25-30 minutes at 350 degrees. Or for a quick snack, freeze after baked and pop one in the microwave any time you want a little bite

The Weekly Would Get It was an idea I came up with near the end of the 2011-year, and I'm very happy to say that it is now over. You wouldn't think posting pictures of beautiful women online and writing why you like them would be tough, but trust me it was. Even though I had a folder of 60+ names in it before the year even began; picking which woman should go when, finding pictures I liked and saying the right thing(s) was a lot to do. And every Thursday I felt like I wasn't remotely prepared.
But really I just want to say thank you so much to all those who have been with me from the beginning, those who showed up midway through, or those who only saw a few; seriously, thank you. Whether you loved or hated the women I chose thought this whole thing was stupid and misogynist, or just found it humorous I want to again say thank you.
Now what I have in store for 2013 is going to blow the WWGI out of the water, and will without a doubt be FAR more daunting. And with my next "Weekly," I look forward to your input and support in this new challenge I've decided to place on myself. Again, thank you, and see you next year.
Arianna Huffington (July 15th, 1950) - She's smart, independent, I love her accent and I'd be beyond fortunate if my looked like that at her age.
Charlize Theron (August 7th, 1975) - Do I really need to say anything?
Cintia Dicker (June 12th, 1986) - Ginger, model, freckles, gorgeous.
Kathy Griffin (November 4th, 1960) - A funny, atheist, liberal, redhead who's in to black guys, done and done.
Lana Kane - DANGER ZONE!
Lily Cole (December 27th, 1987) - Copy/Paste Cintia Dicker portion plus British.
Lisa Loeb (March 11th, 1968) - Probably my first ever white girl crush, and who can ever get enough of THIS SONG.
Mary Elizabeth Winstead (November 28th, 1984) - I'm in lesbians with you.
Michelle Jenneke (June 23rd, 1993) - My love of women who run track personified.
Nia Long (October 30th, 1970) - Long time crush, you still got it girl; that black don't crack.

Suicide Girls (White)
For the 4th of my 4 days of posting Suicide Girls, I decided to close out with my 5 favorites: Katherine, Kemper, Lass, Quinne and Radeo. When it comes to Suicide Girls, they have it all, the tatts, the piercings, the colorful hair and their bodies are perfect. I just love them all for various reasons.
Hope you kids enjoyed my Weekly Would Get It, look out for my Honorable Mention and send off tomorrow. And if you love Suicide Girls, check out their various Tumblr's HERE.

Hi Ozan,
I'm itching to have a go at it too (I was wondering what had happened to my trial request but I'm guessing the office move explains it!)
I'm currently using Kayako SupportSuite and looking at your product as a viable alternative. The booking feature is a huge bonus as we're currently using an old and creaking web-based portal and access back end!
Will it just be the hosted version that is available for trial, or would I be able to trial the locally hosted version?

I recently bought a new Henry Golden Boy .22 lever gun and while I love the appearance of the thing as well as how nicely it handles, I do have a problem that someone here may be able to assist with. The rifle has a beautiful brass butt-plate on the stock and while this is a lovely thing to look at, when you mount the gun to your shoulder and try to get a firm shooting position that chunk of brass slides all over the place, spoiling your aim. I don't want to replace the plate but I would like to find something to fit over it that would give more purchase when in shooting position. Something rubbery that could be slipped on and off is what I envision; and if it could also be used on the butt of my Smith & Wesson M&P 15-22 that would be a welcome bonus.
Anyone know of such a thing? I welcome your suggestions.

Pick up a slip on recoil pad for it. It will add a bit to the length of pull, but it will certainly be grippier. As far as the M&P, there are rubber recoil pads made for AR's as well. You'd be hard pressed to find a one size fits all.
Or use some non-slip tape on the butt plate. I had that problem with my Mini-14 so I stippled the butt plate.
Just walking on the edge of of my grave.
I'd lean toward 357's idea simply because I think that the tape could pull the protective finish from the butt-plate or stock. I have seen a stick on rubber pad that you trim to fit and while the shop owner said they she had sold many of them, a few customers came back to say how the glue messed with their finishes. just my thoughts
Curlyjoe_99 is exactly right. But you don't want it on the stock, just the metal butt plate. A slip-on recoil pad would work but they are often made for thicker/bigger stocks than found on your rifle. Plus if you leave the slip-on pad on you run the risk of it discoloring or removing the finish from the stock. No problem though if you don't leave it on the rifle when not in use. You could have a gunsmith do some checkering on your butt plate. That would look nice and be functional. Or stipple your own butt plate.
Look at a auto parts store or walmart for a little square pad that you lay on the dash of your car that keeps cell phones and such from sliding, they will stick and peel off with no residue, just trim it to fit, it is only about a 1/16th of an inch thick. One pad will do 2 or 3 butt plates. Give it a try they worked for me.
My readings of history convinces me that most bad government results from to much government.....Thomas Jefferson
Being Ignorant is not so much a shame as being unwilling to learn............Benjamin Franklin
If Barack Obama is the answer, the how damn stupid was the question.
Billy9mm - I know the stuff you are referring to; used it to hold small wooden parts for sanding and larger ones for routing. Never thought of using it, thanks a bunch!
And thanks to the rest of you, I'm still going to look for more traditional butt-pad that installs and removes easy since I am loathe to mess up all that shiny brass (old Army habits die hard) and will also keep the possibility of having checkering done to the plate in mind. We don't have many gunsmiths around here and those that I would trust are booked up until after I'm probably going to be dead. Thank you to all!
You might consider one of those lace-on leather butt plate covers. They look pretty cool and give it a cowboy look and feel to it.

From Proteopedia
The tumor suppressor p53 is mutationally inactivated in approximately 50% of human cancers. Approximately one-third of the mutations lower the melting temperature of the protein, leading to its rapid denaturation. Small molecules that bind to those mutants and stabilize them could be effective anticancer drugs. The mutation Y220C, which occurs in approximately 75,000 new cancer cases per annum, creates a surface cavity that destabilizes the protein by 4 kcal/mol, at a site that is not functional. We have designed a series of binding molecules from an in silico analysis of the crystal structure using virtual screening and rational drug design. One of them, a carbazole derivative (PhiKan083), binds to the cavity with a dissociation constant of approximately 150 muM. It raises the melting temperature of the mutant and slows down its rate of denaturation. We have solved the crystal structure of the protein-PhiKan083 complex at 1.5-A resolution. The structure implicates key interactions between the protein and ligand and conformational changes that occur on binding, which will provide a basis for lead optimization. The Y220C mutant is an excellent "druggable" target for developing and testing novel anticancer drugs based on protein stabilization. We point out some general principles in relationships between binding constants, raising of melting temperatures, and increase of protein half-lives by stabilizing ligands.
Targeted rescue of a destabilized mutant of p53 by an in silico screened drug., Boeckler FM, Joerger AC, Jaggi G, Rutherford TJ, Veprintsev DB, Fersht AR, Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A. 2008 Jul 29;105(30):10360-5. Epub 2008 Jul 23. PMID:18650397
From MEDLINE®/PubMed®, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine.
[P53_HUMAN] Note=TP53 is found in increased amounts in a wide variety of transformed cells. TP53 is frequently mutated or inactivated in about 60% of cancers. TP53 defects are found in Barrett metaplasia a condition in which the normally stratified squamous epithelium of the lower esophagus is replaced by a metaplastic columnar epithelium. The condition develops as a complication in approximately 10% of patients with chronic gastroesophageal reflux disease and predisposes to the development of esophageal adenocarcinoma. Defects in TP53 are a cause of esophageal cancer (ESCR) [MIM:133239]. Defects in TP53 are a cause of Li-Fraumeni syndrome (LFS) [MIM:151623]. LFS is an autosomal dominant familial cancer syndrome that in its classic form is defined by the existence of a proband affected by a sarcoma before 45 years with a first degree relative affected by any tumor before 45 years and another first degree relative with any tumor before 45 years or a sarcoma at any age. Other clinical definitions for LFS have been proposed (PubMed:8118819 and PubMed:8718514) and called Li-Fraumeni like syndrome (LFL). In these families affected relatives develop a diverse set of malignancies at unusually early ages. Four types of cancers account for 80% of tumors occurring in TP53 germline mutation carriers: breast cancers, soft tissue and bone sarcomas, brain tumors (astrocytomas) and adrenocortical carcinomas. Less frequent tumors include choroid plexus carcinoma or papilloma before the age of 15, rhabdomyosarcoma before the age of 5, leukemia, Wilms tumor, malignant phyllodes tumor, colorectal and gastric cancers.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10] Defects in TP53 are involved in head and neck squamous cell carcinomas (HNSCC) [MIM:275355]; also known as squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck. Defects in TP53 are a cause of lung cancer (LNCR) [MIM:211980]. LNCR is a common malignancy affecting tissues of the lung. The most common form of lung cancer is non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that can be divided into 3 major histologic subtypes: squamous cell carcinoma, adenocarcinoma, and large cell lung cancer. NSCLC is often diagnosed at an advanced stage and has a poor prognosis. Defects in TP53 are a cause of choroid plexus papilloma (CPLPA) [MIM:260500]. Choroid plexus papilloma is a slow-growing benign tumor of the choroid plexus that often invades the leptomeninges. In children it is usually in a lateral ventricle but in adults it is more often in the fourth ventricle. Hydrocephalus is common, either from obstruction or from tumor secretion of cerebrospinal fluid. If it undergoes malignant transformation it is called a choroid plexus carcinoma. Primary choroid plexus tumors are rare and usually occur in early childhood.[11] Defects in TP53 are a cause of adrenocortical carcinoma (ADCC) [MIM:202300]. ADCC is a rare childhood tumor of the adrenal cortex. It occurs with increased frequency in patients with the Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome and is a component tumor in Li-Fraumeni syndrome.[12] Defects in TP53 are the cause of susceptibility to basal cell carcinoma 7 (BCC7) [MIM:614740]. A common malignant skin neoplasm that typically appears on hair-bearing skin, most commonly on sun-exposed areas. It is slow growing and rarely metastasizes, but has potentialities for local invasion and destruction. It usually develops as a flat, firm, pale area that is small, raised, pink or red, translucent, shiny, and waxy, and the area may bleed following minor injury. Tumor size can vary from a few millimeters to several centimeters in diameter.[13]
[P53_HUMAN] Acts as a tumor suppressor in many tumor types; induces growth arrest or apoptosis depending on the physiological circumstances and cell type. Involved in cell cycle regulation as a trans-activator that acts to negatively regulate cell division by controlling a set of genes required for this process. One of the activated genes is an inhibitor of cyclin-dependent kinases. Apoptosis induction seems to be mediated either by stimulation of BAX and FAS antigen expression, or by repression of Bcl-2 expression. In cooperation with mitochondrial PPIF is involved in activating oxidative stress-induced necrosis; te function is largely independent of transcription. Induces the transcription of long intergenic non-coding RNA p21 (lincRNA-p21) and lincRNA-Mkln1. LincRNA-p21 participates in TP53-dependent transcriptional repression leading to apoptosis and seem to have to effect on cell-cycle regulation. Implicated in Notch signaling cross-over. Prevents CDK7 kinase activity when associated to CAK complex in response to DNA damage, thus stopping cell cycle progression. Isoform 2 enhances the transactivation activity of isoform 1 from some but not all TP53-inducible promoters. Isoform 4 suppresses transactivation activity and impairs growth suppression mediated by isoform 1. Isoform 7 inhibits isoform 1-mediated apoptosis.[14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24]
