2009 Recap: Ryan Dempster
Because of how prominently these recaps are titled, I probably shouldn't lead this one with, "Guess who led the Cubs in innings pitched and strikeouts?" But I'm clever, so I basically just did it anyway without you even noticing.
P.S. The answer is Ryan Dempster!!!
At the beginning of this season, a lot of Cubs fans were expecting to be really super pissed at Demp right about now. No one thought he'd be able to deliver on the four-year, $52 million deal he signed in the offseason.
But deliver he did, maintaining a 3.65 ERA over 200 innings, with 172 strikeouts to just 65 walks. To put those numbers into context, Dempster allowed 65 walks in one game this past postseason. (Consider yourself lucky if you don't get that joke.)
For the statheads out there, Dempster's '09 season was worth 3.7 wins over a replacement level pitcher, a value of just over $16 million, or twice his 2009 salary.
How'd he do it? Demp ended up taking the meh-diocre route, allowing two or fewer runs in only 16 of his 31 starts, and allowing three runs in exactly three starts. That's 12 starts with 4 or more runs, which is kinda not really all that great, actually.
In fact, that's probably the best explanation for why a guy with a 3.65 ERA only won 11 of his 31 starts.
Having said that, Ryan avoided disasters for the most part (although 6 ER in 4 IP against the frikkin' Pirates is pretty dern close). And he managed to post a few really good lines, too, like his two games against the Dodgers (7IP, 0ER, 3H, 1BB, 5K in each).
And of the 15 starts with two or fewer earned runs allowed, Ryan allowed zero earned runs in seven of them.
Beyond the numbers, there was one majorly frustrating moment during Dempster's 2009 season. Heck, when a kid in the stands starts pointing and laughing at you, you know you've screwed up.
That was when Ryan broke his toe on July 5th. He pulled a move that's known in sports circles as a "Gramatica," severely injuring himself while attempting to celebrate a recent victory.
But even with that stoopid move, Demp managed to hit the 200IP mark, give the Cubs a bunch of chances to win, and basically earn his salary. I'd put my money on another 200IP, sub-4.00 ERA season next year, too.

On Monday, Bridgeport city council discussed the possible use of its home rule authority to use city funds for school projects.
Mayor James Christie said the City of Bridgeport hopes to develop a partnership with the Harrison County Board of Education to make improvements that would benefit not only the schools but also the community.
Mayor Christie said they hope to address two projects: The bleachers and air conditioning at Bridgeport High School.
"We have discussed probably close to half a dozen various or different projects that we feel could benefit the city, benefit the residents and help improve our school," Christie Said.
Mayor Christie also stated this is just a preliminary step for Bridgeport City Council to develop a partnership with the board of education. Bridgeport City Council and the Board of Education will have to take other steps and meet other requirements including a meeting with state Home Rule Board.

Busy Blue Jays add CabreraBy BEN WALKER
The Associated Press | November 17,2012NEW YORK The busy Toronto Blue Jays struck again Friday with their latest big deal: All-Star game MVP Melky Cabrera is set to join them in his return from a drug suspension.
A person familiar with the negotiations said the free agent outfielder and the Blue Jays have reached agreement on a two-year contract worth $16 million. The deal is pending a physical, the person told The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because there was no official announcement.
ESPN Deportes first reported the agreement Friday.
Earlier this week, the Blue Jays got All-Star shortstop Jose Reyes and pitchers Josh Johnson and Mark Buehrle from the Miami Marlins in a blockbuster trade that could involve a dozen players.
Toronto has not reached the playoffs since winning its second straight World Series in 1993, and has often been stuck behind big spenders in the AL East. After going 73-89 this year, the Blue Jays have made quite a splash in the offseason.
The 28-year-old Cabrera was leading the National League in hitting at .346 for the San Francisco Giants when he drew a 50-game suspension Aug. 15 for a positive testosterone test.
Cabrera later asked to be removed from consideration for the NL batting title, feeling it would be a tainted crown a rule change in the number of required plate appearances for the champion let Giants teammate and eventual NL MVP Buster Posey win at .336.
The Giants didnt put Cabrera on their postseason roster on the way to winning the World Series, even after he became eligible at the start of the NL championship series.
Cabrera hit 11 home runs with 60 RBIs in his lone year with San Francisco. He hit .305 with 18 homers and 87 RBIs the previous season with Kansas City, then was traded to the Giants.
Cabrera made his major league debut in 2005 with the New York Yankees and stayed with them until being traded to Atlanta after the 2009 season.
The Blue Jays had their share of sluggers Edwin Encarnacion hit 42 homers and two-time home run champ Jose Bautista hit 27 but didnt score at an exceptional rate.
Toronto averaged 4.42 runs per game last season, slightly below the AL average.
Cabrera is friendly with Encarnacion and Bautista, another reason he felt comfortable joining the Blue Jays.MORE IN Wire SportsBOSTON The Boston Bruins have some lineup questions entering training camp after a...

Appropriate vs. High-Risk Uses
To me one of the worst things about a cold is that feeling that I can't breathe through my nose at night. Invariably, my sinuses will be clear all day, but as soon as I lie down, it's as if someone stuffed a large cotton ball up each nostril. I try blowing my nose just right, I try turning this way, then that to get one nostril to drain and open up, but to no avail. Hours later, with little sound sleep, I reach for an herbal formula with the Chinese herb called ma huang, which I know will shortly open things up.
Of course, I could have gone to the drug store and bought one of the many over-the counter (OTC) preparations like SudafedÆ or PrimatineÆ that contain the same active ingredient as ma huang, ephedrine, but then I would have gotten a few other things that I might have to lie awake and worry about, like FD&C Blue dyes Nos. 1 and 2, Red No. 3 parabens and black ink.
Ma huang (Ephedra sinensis) is an important medicinal herb from China used for over 3,000 year in teas and other preparations to help with symptoms of asthma, colds and flu, and allergies. It has also found worldwide acceptance as an effective component of many herbal formulas, over-the-counter (OTC) medications, and as a source for the purified drugs ephedrine and pseudoephedrine used widely for upper respiratory tract ailments (such as allergies and asthma).
The broom-like stems of the herb are harvested by the tons in China and shipped to ports all over the world. Although there are several American species (known as Mormon Tea and used traditionally as a blood purifier), such as E. nevadensis, it is important to note that they contain little or no ephedrine.
The most common use of ma huang in traditional medicine is to relieve symptoms from the first stages of what we call "the common cold," in western countries, especially the type that is due to exposure to cold, damp, and wind. It is also invaluable for helping to relieve the wheezing and breathing difficulties associated with some types of asthma and allergies.
A TCM herbalist or acupuncturist will always prescribe ma huang in combination with other herbs to help counteract possible side effects such as nervousness, sleeplessness, heart palpitations, high blood pressure, and directing energy away from the digestive organs.
The main active ingredient of ma huang, ephedrine, falls into a therapeutic category of "Adrenergic bronchodilators." (Opens up the bronchial tree by stimulating the sympathetic nervous system) and is the only adrenergic bronchodilator that is available without a doctor's prescription. Ephedrine can shrink congested mucous membranes, helping to dry up the watery discharge and open the stuffed nasal passages which so often accompany the common cold or some flu.
The alkaloid acts in similar ways to the body's own stimulant, adrenaline, but is milder and longer-lasting and, unlike adrenaline, works orally.
Pseudoephedrine, a natural variant of ephedrine from ma huang, is found as a main ingredient in such well-known products as Sudafed, Actifed, Contac, Robitussin-PE, Sinutab, and others, because it causes less of a blood-pressure rise than ephedrine, while maintaining a similar strength for bronchodilation.In current medical practice in the United States, ephedrine is approved for the following conditions:
Presently, there is a controversy "brewing" over ma huang. The problem is that some herbal product manufacturers tend at times to disregard the traditional use of ephedra. A number of popular weight-loss and energy products include pure ephedra concentrates, which stimulate the nervous system and metabolism (by stimulating the thyroid gland). There is evidence that the herb works for these purposes, but there are possible dangers... side effects such as a weakening of the digestion, blood pressure increases with an extra demand on the heart, as well as sleep disturbances, nervousness, and anxiety. Some manufacturers do try to add tonic herbs to help counteract these effects.
David Litell from Excell Products, a popular line of "human energy" products containing ma huang said that some of the formulas blended with tonic herbs "are good enough to use on an as needed basis" and that "....ma huang formulas give many people what they want [in the way of extra energy] without draining their reserves."
He adds that when blended with tonic herbs, ma huang is safer to use than other popular (and legal) stimulants like coffee, kola nut, or guarana, all of which contain caffeine.
However, the uncontrolled and possibly uneducated sale of ma huang is concerning many licensed practitioners of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) who worry that the herb (and perhaps others) will become unavailable to them for use in their clinics because of restrictions by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Harvey Kaltsis, the President of the American Association of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (AAAOM) told me that if ma huang is used in commercial formulas for weight loss or energy products, the contraindications should be on the bottle, and it should be properly formulated with other herbs that help counteract its possible side-effects.
"Ephedra should be determined by a TCM differential diagnosis to be appropriate for the person who is using it. Because ephedra is warm in nature, it is inappropriate for people with high blood pressure, spontaneous sweating, and other heat conditions because it will aggravate them."
Michael Tierra, author of The Way of Herbs is a licensed acupuncturist and western herbalist who feels that ephedra should not be taken long-term. He feels that it is also not appropriate for use in people who have "yin deficiency," or stress-related adrenal weakness disorders like chronic fatigue.
Currently, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has an import alert on ephedra extracts, and the herb was recently mentioned in testimony before a House Sub-Committee hearing on dietary supplements (Proxmire hearings) as a substance about which unsubstantiated claims and documented hazards had occurred in the marketplace. They state that serious side effects have been reported to them from products containing ma huang.
Traditional contraindications for ephedra include general weakness, poor digestion, high blood pressure, nervousness, sleeping difficulties, cardiac arrythmias, and heart disease. It may also contract the uterus, which means it should not be used during pregnancy.
As an OTC and pharmaceutical drug, a number of cautions must be included in labels and instructions for products containing ephedrine, including tremors, nervousness, insomnia, hypertension, heart palpitations, diabetes, hyperthyroidism, and prostatic enlargement. Ephedrine is classified by the FDA for pregnancy in category C (no studies on adverse effects on the fetus exist for humans or animals). It passes through mother's milk to the infant and should not be taken during breast-feeding. It should not be taken with monoamine oxidase (MAO) inhibitors (such as isocarboxazid, phenelzine, or tranylcypromine or possibly the herb St. John's wort--Hypericum perforatum) which can potentiate the stimulating effects of ephedra.
Despite the number of side effects listed for purified ephedrine in therapeutic doses, studies show that the whole herb ma huang has a very low toxicity and potential for side effects, when used properly (Tang). Animal studies also have failed to demonstrate carcinogenic or mutagenic potential for ephedrine, and the alkaloid is rapidly eliminated from the human body (88% of an oral dose is excreted in the urine within 24 hours, 97% after 48 hours).
Traditional Uses
Herbalists have been saying for years that ma huang should not be used out of the context of a system of medicine that considers its possible side effects as well as clearly defining what kind of person can safely take the herb and for what kind of conditions. Some herbalists feel like manufacturing and advertising products containing ma huang for energy or weight loss are irresponsible and can do nothing but hurt the industry in the long run. This may not have been an easy controversy to clear up without outside intervention, because ephedra makes fantastic profits for manufacturers promising quick energy and slimmer torsos.
Manufacturers of diet and energy products containing ma huang say that ephedra really works to burn fat by stimulating the thyroid gland, a major player in determining the rate of metabolism. They add that when blended with "tonic" herbs that help to counteract its side effects, ma huang is safer to use than other popular (and legal) stimulants like coffee, kola nut, or guarana, all of which contain caffeine.
In TCM, it is known as "Ma Huang," which means, literally, "hemp yellow," because of its color. Botanically, it is more closely related to the conifers like pine and firs than to familiar flowering plants such as the mints or dandelions.
The broom-like stems are harvested by the tons in China and shipped to ports all over the world. Although there are several American species (known as Mormon Tea and used traditionally as a blood purifier), such as E. nevadensis, they contain little or no ephedrine or its natural variants.
For coughs and wheezing, it is often combined with apricot seed; for retention of fluids (such as around the eyes) with symptoms of flu or colds, it is combined with ginger; and to counteract its tendency to aggravate inflammation or "heat" during colds and flu, combined with gypsum (Shi Gao) and scullcap root (Huang Qin).Traditionally, the contraindications (times when it is inappropriate to take ma huang) are listed as
Medical CautionsAdditionally, western medicine gives these cautions for the use of ephedra:

Sleep is a precious commodity for a lot of working folks. Many don't get enough during the work week, so they try to make up for it during the weekends. But a new study shows that catching up on sleep won't undo the damage already done.It is common knowledge that being sleep-deprived is not good for someone's health, but a new study mimics how a lot of people live. For five days, volunteers were only allowed six hours of a sleep each night. Then for two days, they were allowed to sleep in, getting a solid 10 hours a night.During that time, researchers measured their stress and inflammation as well as performance levels and found that sleeping in doesn't really help.Dr. Kyra Clark, Medical Director of the Sleep Center at Morehouse School of Medicine, says this is a wakeup call for people in safety jobs, such as pilots and truck drivers, not to mention health care workers."Because it shows that after being sleep-deprived for five days, and getting two days of "recovery" sleep, your performance does not improve back to baseline," says Dr. Kyra.That cycle of getting up early, then sleeping in late, creates another problem of throwing off the body's internal clock."You may have recovered some of your sleep. But when you start on a Monday, you feel like you've got jetlag, because your biological clock is out of sync. It usually takes 2 or 3 days to get back into sync," says Dr. Ketema Paul with Morehouse School of Medicine.So, how do you fix a sleep deficit? Dr. Clark says it is a matter of rethinking sleep habits.First, everyone should try to get at least 7 to 8 hours of sleep every night. Then it is just a matter of sticking to a sleep schedule by going to sleep at the same time each night and waking up at the same time each morning. They say this schedule should be followed even on the weekends."You want to reserve your bedroom for only sleep and intimacy. So, to have the television in the bedroom, to do your work in the bedroom, and maybe have your iPad and your cellphone, those things are disrupting to your sleep," says Dr. Clark.And there is always napping."Many of us are in jobs where we can't do it. But if you're in a situation where you can take an hour, or half hour nap in the afternoon, I highly recommend it," says Dr. Paul.It also helps to check the sleep environment. Small changes like making sure that a bedroom is dark, cool and quiet can help bring about better relaxation.Dr. Clark says getting a sleep schedule is really the key even though it is really tempting to stay in bed.

You're right of course, that AoC gets compared to a far more developed WoW. Were we assessing them on their accomplishments and what the developers have done with the time available your point would be valid.
But the problem is, they're competing in the same market place for the same customers. And as such the comparison IS valid. Because the end-user doesn't care how the software was made, they just care which is better. Would AoC be better than WoW in 4 years if it had its money and subscriber base? Maybe. But most people are looking for a game to play now, and in terms of polish WoW is just so far ahead it is almost financially impossible for anyone else to compete.
Which sucks for them but Blizzard have raised the bar so high the reality of the marketplace is they provide a massive barrier to entry.

3 Analyst Calls Worth Noting on Tuesday
Brian is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
On Tuesday the market responded with gains after posting its largest loss of the year on Monday. While most stocks saw gains, there were many that saw excessive movement following the opinions of analysts. Therefore, I am looking at the three most noteworthy calls of the day.
Analysts Continue to Piggy-Back Each Other & Push this Stock Higher
Shares of social media company LinkedIn (NYSE: LNKD) ticked higher by more than 3% as the stock inches closer towards all-time highs. The run higher was caused by the initiation of coverage by National Alliance Capital, with a "Buy" rating and a $192 price target. The firm believes that LinkedIn's risk/reward ratio is favorable and that there are very few competitive threats in its business. Finally, the fact that the stock is so close to new highs also added to the firm's reason for the bullish call.
This call by National Alliance Capital is a "follow the leader" call if I've ever seen one. The firm didn't explain "how" the company is worth $192 with its current business model. With a $192 price LinkedIn would be worth $21 billion, and let's not forget that its primary industry is in jobs, and networking jobs. My question is how in the world is this one segment worth $21 billion, especially when LinkedIn only reported revenue of $972 million in the last 12 months with revenue decelerating? In my opinion, this call was based on momentum, and was based on the fact that LinkedIn has become a favorite in the social media space, but is in no way based on fundamentals or valuation, which should be part of "Analyst 101." Therefore, I believe it was a horrible call, although the price target is likely in the short-term.
I'm Finally Becoming a Believer
Over the last six months I have found it quite interesting to follow the behavior of analysts who cover BlackBerry (NASDAQ: BBRY). For the most part, it has been the speculation created by analysts that has pushed shares higher, and I have remained vocal of my concerns regarding the lack of fundamental induced movement. Yet on Tuesday, analyst Peter Misek (who I highly respect), from Jefferies, returned from an Asian trip with a bullish take on Blackberry; saying BB10 phones have increased to over 2 million per month. Misek suggests that at least 2-3 more models are likely to launch this year and that Z10 sell-through data is steady, while Q10 pre-sales are strong.
I never had a problem with Blackberry; I simply wanted to see fundamental progress to compliment the large gains. Now, much of the hype has died down, and shares of Blackberry have found a steady range. On Tuesday the stock rallied almost 2% and the stock is still trading at just 0.64 times sales. In regards to the new BB10, I have now had the opportunity to explore its features and personally I love it. However, I also love the Windows 8; therefore the question is whether or not demand will remain strong. Either way, I am becoming more convinced every day, and $14 I think the stock is very attractive.
My Suggestion for this Stock Holds True
Shares of Sarepta Therapeutics (NASDAQ: SRPT) fell lower by 13% on Tuesday after Leerink Swan downgraded the stock to "Market Perform" from "Outperform." The firm believes that the FDA's recent request (additional trial, drug, and company information) has "prolonged uncertainty" and that the need for a Phase 3 preapproval could give GlaxoSmithKline's competing drug a market advantage.
Two weeks ago I wrote an article here on Motley Fool breaking down the best way to play Sarepta Therapeutics ahead of the FDA decision. I explained that it was only a 50/50 chance that the company gained an accelerated approval and that the best bet was to wait and buy afterwards. I still think this holds true, and I think Leerink Swan's downgrade is both wise and responsible to investors.
On a side note, I do consider Sarepta to be one of the more promising stocks in biotech long-term. I chose the stock for my "Value of the Month" back in March (returned a 25% gain) and I believe it could become a $3-$6 billion company based on its pipeline and the valuations awarded to other companies with Orphan statuses. With that said, the market expects an accelerated approval, and that weighs badly for the stock if the 50/50 chance does not fall in favor of Sarepta. Therefore, I would simply wait and see what happens.
In my book, Taking Charge With Value Investing (McGraw-Hill, 2013) I discuss how to assess the opinions of analysts, and how to use them to your advantage. Typically, there are two types of calls: those that follow the trend and those who call regardless of the trend. It is important to distinguish between these two groups, and to not follow the performance that a call creates, but rather read and incorporate the notes as part of your research. Then, when you are able to find inconsistencies between value and valuation you will be better prepared to capitalize on the opportunity.

Re: Torry "BIG GAME" Holt
Holt is great. I still hold some bitterness from the dropped TD pass against the Panthers. He's a great player though and he does it without all of the off the field issues that you get from Chad Johnson and T.O.
BTW, just thought I'd like to bring this up. Why is it funny when Chad Johnson celebrates and sends Pepto Bismol to the Browns DBs, but when T.O. does a pregame skit for Monday Night Football, it's a National Controversy. I dont like the guy, but if you're going to jump all over one player do it with the rest as well.The Roman and The Prince. Playmakers until the end.

Bryan County Sheriff Clyde Smith said Thursday that Monica Renee Laminack, who would have turned 2 years old in June, slipped out a dog door and into the fenced-in yard where she was attacked.
He says by the time the child's grandmother heard the dogs barking and looked outside, the girl was dead and her clothes were in shreds all over the yard.
Authorities say the dogs were pit bulls and pit bull mixes. Animal Control officers euthanized them after the attack Wednesday night.
The sheriff says authorities are considering criminal charges, but none has been filed.

NORTH ADAMS — Composer Julia Wolfe is used to writing music for ensembles of all shapes and sizes. But she'd never before written a score that called for clogging — nor wooden bones, banjo, or mountain dulcimer.
But "Steel Hammer," her epic explosion and reconstruction of the folk ballad "John Henry," called for a real down-home feel. Aptly, the musicians she works with tend to have meticulous conservatory training but catholic sensibilities when it comes to musical style.

LOSA Collects Coats, Blankets for Needy
Logan Media Services
CARTERVILLE – The Logan Operational Staff Association (LOSA) is fully involved in its fall humanitarian project, which kicked off last month and continues this month on the JALC campus.
This year's focus is a "Cold Weather Clothing Drive," which benefits children and adults in four different counties in the region – Williamson, Jackson, Franklin and Perry.
Donors are asked to bring new or clean and gently-used winter wear items, such as heavy coats, jackets, hats, gloves, pajamas, and blankets.
The collection will conclude next Friday, Nov. 16.
Event organizer Judi Pastori said LOSA has a long history of sponsoring two humanitarian projects each year.
"In the past, some agencies that have benefited from our efforts include Create-A-Smile, GumDrops, Crayon Connection, American Cancer Society for breast cancer, Thanksgiving food drive, area women's and homeless shelters, and advocacy centers," she said.
Pastori said LOSA has also assisted some college employees who have had serious illnesses by sponsoring monetary drives to help maintain their health insurance premium for a period of time.
"We would like to thank staff and students for helping our organization make a difference in the lives of many people through contributions," she said. "One of our goals at LOSA is encouraging members to exercise their rights and privileges as citizens and to willingly accept leadership in civic affairs."
For more information on how to assist LOSA with the Cold Weather Clothing project, call Pastori at 985-2828, X8356.

Matt Damon Headed Back To Play Jason Bourne Yet Again
16 September 2014 7:58 PM, PDT
Damon and director Paul Greengrass are making deals with Universal to team up for a new Bourne film.
As the old saying goes, you can't keep a good government assassin down. Jason Bourne – and not Jeremy Renner's semi-confusing Jason Bourne analog – is coming back as Matt Damon and director Paul Greengrass are currently making a deal with Universal to reunite for a third time, according to Deadline.
This will be the fourth time Damon has stepped into the shoes of the titular trained killer, first playing him in 2002 in The Bourne Identity. Identity was directed by Doug Liman who handed the series' reigns over to Greengrass in 2004 for The Bourne Supremacy.
It was Greengrass who gave the franchise its iconic handheld 'shaky cam' look, which he used to acclaimed effect in the 2007 installment The Bourne Ultimatum, which was the last film Damon appeared in as the eponymous hero.

Jenny McCarthy Reveals Why She Really Left 'The View'

Jenny McCarthy gives reason for why she is no longer on 'The View' and for why she does not have a ring on her finger.
Host Jenny McCarthy left The View, and now she's explaining why.
In an interview today with Good Day NY, McCarthy was asked about her departure from the ABC talk show.
She said she is no longer on it, "Because they wanted to make sure the table was diverse. So they consider when Rosie was coming back it was too liberal and they wanted a conservative and they wanted a Latina, so they got Rosie Perez and their Elisabeth if you will, so that way it was a balanced table with more diversity."

Who is the new Jennifer Love Hewitt? Who is her Freddie Prinze Jr.?
We'll always know what you did last summer*. Because Sony won't let us forget.
Deadline recently reported that the studio is rebooting I Know What You Did Last Summer, the 1997 slasher film about a group of college kids (Jennifer Love Hewitt, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Freddie Prinze Jr. and Ryan Phillippe) who cover up their hit-and-run, only to be stalked and slayed by the very person they thought they killed.
Now our ultimate dream cast for this reboot is present day J.Love, Smg, Freddie Prinze, and Ryan P. playing the same roles they did two decades ago (most are available), but since that definitely won't happen, we brainstormed a few suggestions:

Why Is Eminem Suing New Zealand's National Party?
16 September 2014 9:05 AM, PDT
Slim Shady's team claims that "Lose Yourself" was used illegally in campaign ads.
Politicians may want to refrain from using Eminem music in their campaigns.
No, not because the Detroit-based rapper is known for his rapid-fire, profanity-laced rhymes, but because his legal team may come after you for copyright infringement.
Em's music publishers Eight Mile Style and Martin Affiliated have filed a lawsuit against New Zealand's National Party, claiming that the party breached copyright laws when it used "Lose Yourself" in campaign ads.
"It is both disappointing and sadly ironic that the political party responsible for championing the rights of music publishers in New Zealand … should itself have so little regard for copyright," Martin said in a statement to the Associated Press. "We do not hesitate to take immediate action to protect the integrity of Eminem's works."

When asked if she ever had a "great love" who got away, the 35-year-old writer/actress admitted, "He's a good friend of mine, yeah. He's my best friend. He broke up with me. It was years and years ago that that breakup happened. I was so sad, not angry, sad. That was the hottest I ever looked 'cause I stopped eating. When I get depressed, I stop eating. I was so miserable and so beautiful."

Illinois lawmakers are gearing up to discuss pension reform during a special session called by Governor Pat Quinn.
The session will take place Friday in Springfield and Governor Quinn is hoping for a complete overhaul of the state pension system. Some lawmakers, however, are backing more scaled-down changes for pensions.
State workers are concerned about any potential cuts and what effects they could have on their retirement benefits. Some state workers have even retired earlier than planned in an effort to keep their current plans locked in.
Governor Quinn has expressed faith in lawmakers' ability to resolve the matter in one day, but other lawmakers argue that it is not enough time to fully discuss the issue.
For local lawmakers' thoughts on the upcoming session, click here.

cultural arbitration from a professional voyager based in los angeles.
The painting that takes down the beautiful wall: A big stone wall is glamorous if well done, and paintings don't need to be "centered" in every room as a rule, but they can't pull your eye so far out of a seating area that they become distractions.

I like this.
He said something interesting about masks. How he prefers to collaborate with people who don't wear masks, who don't act all upright, fake, and stiff under the guise of professionalism. I know a lot of people who could learn from this.
We chatted mostly about my forthcoming trip to Japan which eventually led to an anime geek out session and conversation about surfing.
I have a renewed sense of freedom that I haven't felt since my last adventure, and the best part? I can actually feel my soul ready to be quenched. Spring can't come fast enough.
This made me directly lol.

As fall makes its way closer and closer to us, our proverbial plates are filling faster and faster here at Just CrossStitch. On the heels of a super-busy summer, we're gearing up for an even busier fall. Since this newsletter also serves as an "insider" look at what's new and upcoming, I thought I'd take another short break from the specialty stitch coverage to tell you about some exciting new releases and products from Just CrossStitch and Annie's. Several of these have made their way into my stitching basket, and I have a feeling they'll make their way into yours too. I hope you'll be as excited about these as I am.
Pincushion Appeal
Cecile McPeak and Rachel Martin
Suggested retail price -- $16.99
While pincushions are a functional necessity in any stitching room, with a little creativity they can also become cherished works of art. Mother-daughter team Cecile McPeak and Rachel Martin of Just Another Button Company seem to have just that aim in mind with Pincushion Appeal.
This 48-page pattern book contains all the information you need to create eight adorable felted-wool pincushions from start to finish. Detailed patterns and stitch illustrations make the pincushions a snap to construct, while the forgiving nature of felt disguises any beginner mistakes. Each piece is adorned with an array of quirky embellishments like wooden spools, felted wool balls, odd bits of ribbon, wire, buttons and, of course, pins, leaving plenty of room for personalization with your favorite found materials.
Designs include such charming characters as a bird roosting atop a colorful nest of ribbon and a cheerful-looking whale. Other natural objects such as a bright, spotted mushroom cap and pot of highly textured succulents add their own playful appeal. With detailed instructions and beautiful color photography, this book will have everyone from beginners to experienced crafters beaming at their handmade pincushion art in no time.
For more information, or to purchase the book, visit www.shopmartingale.com. To purchase embellishment packs and wool/fabric kits for making the pincushions, visit www.justanotherbuttoncompany.com.

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
I had both a bad and a good time with it.
It was great when I was on my seventy, taking down Zombies and battling for Stormwind.
It wasn't so much fun when you and your boyfriend were trying to use up the last week of your RaF and were getting killed every ten seconds.
I found out while trying to finish up Swamp of Sorrows that it was possible to create a self-sustaining zombie horde there due to the rate of guard respawn. Leveling during that period was absolutely awful, especially if you were trying to push it to get close to the first wave of Northrend raiding/leveling.
I still maintain that Blizz cut the whole experiment short when the griefing got completely out of hand. It was their own fault: the zombie explosion made mass infections too easy, Blizz completely forgot that guards were a higher level than the players in the zone (making skull-level zombie armies) and there was no way to skirt the corners of the event. If there was no zombie explosion, if the zombies were low level, if there was a trinket that summoned a healer to you... Event would've been great and maybe we would've gotten a conclusion. As it was, it went for a few days, getting worse and worse and then mysteriously disappeared (replaced with the original invasion) because... let's say a wizard did it.
That being said, now that my characters are max level, I do hope that Blizz tries things like this again, only learning from their past mistakes.

Comment: New government report looks at child protection failings
Child protection system is failing neglected children and vulnerable teenagers
A committee of MPs examining child protection in England has said that more children who are at risk should be put into care.
The report, from the House of Commons Education Select Committee, highlighted issues around too many children being left in circumstances of "long-term, chronic neglect".
The MPs suggested that too often the parents of neglected children were given multiple chances to change and yet failed to - at the cost of their children who weren't given the support and safety they needed.
The report also raised concerns about a gap in provision for older children, which could leave them vulnerable to the predatory behaviour of adults.
Lisa Harker, NSPCC head of strategy, said:
"Too often the child protection system fails older teenagers. Though some may look more like adults they are still children and it can't be assumed they can take care of themselves or know who to ask for help.
"The Committee's focus on child neglect is welcome as we know it is the main reason why children are subject to child protection plans. And often professionals see teenagers as more resilient so they can be left in neglectful situations for too long."
Further infoMore children should be in care, say MPs (BBC News)

With Election Behind Us, A Return To Normalcy OR Let's Get Back To Saving My Conservative Friends Government Job!
Thank GOD, now that the election is firmly behind us noted higher education expert Gary Gross and his also notably unbiased conservative political blog can get back to brow beating MNSCU and St. Cloud State University for daring to cut their budgets! That isn't speculation. That will be reality within the next 5-7 years. President Potter and Chancellor Rosenstone have the ability to change that by rescinding the decision to cancel the Aviation program at SCSU. It's without question that SCSU can't produce all of the graduates it'll take to replace the soon-to-be-retiring pilots. Still, they're capable of being a significant part of the solution. When oh when will these damn leaders of higher education finally LISTEN to an unemployed conservative blogger who thinks government … Continue reading

Gross Inaccuracies: Government Jobs Are For CONSERVATIVES ONLY!
For some time now this blog has been following the highly amusing story of conservative activist and local layabout, Gary Gross, trying desperately to convince his readers that his friend, a conservative elected official and public university professor, Jeff Johnson deserves his government job at Saint Cloud State University. You see, despite all his other writings about how the super evil menace of government should be cut to the bone, Gross feels that perhaps an exemption should be made for Mr. Johnson because frankly he is super awesome and his government job is useful to the community [disclaimer: the aforementioned statement about the super awesomeness of Mr. Johnson's government job should in no way indicate that maybe government can create jobs]. [on a side note, … Continue reading

Gross Inaccuracies: "Help Me Save My Conservative Friends Government Job!"
Gary Gross, local conservative drone, really thinks that government ought to be shrunk because frankly it's a terrible awful no good very bad thing. So bad that when he goes to get the benefits it generously provides him as an unemployed right wing blogger he has to write about his bad experience. Now I know it seems odd for someone who hates government so much to literally suckle at its teat but believe me there is some logic behind it. I am not sure what it is but trust me it's there. Anyway, in this latest installment of Gross Inaccuracies we find Gary once again fighting to keep government jobs despite his daily cheering for cuts to government in those very same areas. So, for … Continue reading
Gross Inaccuracies: But Government Doesn't Create Jobs!!! Except when it does…
Do you remember when cutting government meant allowing the private sector to thrive? Government, we are told, only drains resources from the private sector and can never EVER create jobs. It is the mantra of every small government conservative and it is the daily reminder from unemployed conservative blogger, Gary Gross. Except today apparently: Also discussed was how the decision was reached. In the commission's opinion, the public's input was limited at best. The commission is putting a resolution that a) talks about the economic impact closing the department down will have on St. Cloud's economic development and b) will call for a more transparent, public process. [emphasis mine] WHOA WHOA WHOA! How is it possible that making a government entity such as St. Cloud … Continue reading
You're A Racist, NO YOU'RE A RACIST!
Well that didn't take long. Only days ago I felt the need to write a post agreeing with local conservative, King Banaian, that the rhetoric of an SCSU Professor calling those people who voted for Michele Bachmann racist because some idiot was putting up disgusting posters of Muslims around St. Cloud. Now I find myself needing to write another post because another local conservative took the rhetoric too far. Leo Pusateri, who sits on the Executive Committee of the Senate District 15 Republican Party, decided to not only chastise the SCSU Professor in question but then turn around and do essentially what that professor did, call an entire group of people racists. Additionally, if I were to equate any political ideology with racism, it would … Continue reading

Visitation for Dana Davis, vice president of basketball operations for the Memphis Grizzlies, will be held Saturday afternoon before the team's opening exhibition.
The Grizzlies announced the funeral service Thursday. Davis, 56, was found dead in his home Wednesday.
