The failure of lawmakers to patch a problem in the public financing system could effectively force candidates next year to go back to running for office the way they did years ago: taking money from special interests and other private sources.
Sen. Jonathan Paton, R-Tucson, could not marshal the necessary votes on the last night of the session for his legislation designed to overcome an anticipated federal court ruling crippling a key provision of the program. So the bill died, leaving the law on the books as it is.
House OKs hiking public money for campaigns
Only thing is, a federal judge has concluded, at least preliminarily, that a key provision of that law is unconstitutional. Unless that is fixed - and soon - that may make the law unworkable for many who plan to campaign for next year's election.
But Paton said that, at least for now, he has no intention of asking Gov. Jan Brewer to add the issue of fixing the system on the agenda for the special session set to begin Monday.
The 1998 voter-approved law sets up a voluntary system of public financing for those who want to run for statewide and legislative office.
Candidates who can get the required number of $5 donations - designed to show a level of public support - get public funds to run their campaigns. In exchange, they agree not to take money from outside sources.
So a candidate for governor would get $707,447 for next year's primary, and an additional more than $1 million for the general election. Legislative candidates are entitled to $14,319 for their primaries and $21,479 for the general.
The law also allows candidates to get more if their privately financed foes exceed that spending, up to three times the original allocation.
In a preliminary ruling last year, though, U.S. District Court Judge Roslyn Silver said the matching fund provision is unconstitutional. She agreed with privately financed candidates who argued that the system can be "manipulated" by their publicly financed foes - called "participating candidates" in the law - to actually give them a financial advantage.
Silver has not yet issued a final ruling. And Todd Lang, director of the Citizens Clean Elections Commission, said it is still possible she could be convinced to change her mind.
But even Lang acknowledged that whatever she does leaves candidates uncertain. More to the point, any candidate who agrees to accept public funds - a decision that cannot be reversed once chosen - runs the risk of being seriously outspent by an opponent, with no possibility of catching up.
And that, Lang said, could convince some candidates to take the safer course of asking private sources and special interests to finance their campaigns.
"Anytime you're considering a run, you have to consider all the possibilities," Lang said.
"I think there will be some people who do decide not to take that risk," he said. "So we will lose a few participating candidates."
In the last election, 30 out of 51 candidates for the state Senate took public funding; the figure was 72 out of 103 in the House.
The solution Paton pushed would give publicly funded candidates more money upfront. They would not qualify for more later when their privately financed foes outspent them. Gubernatorial hopefuls would get more than $1.4 million for a primary and more than $2 million for a general election race. Legislative candidates would qualify for $21,478 in the primary and more than $32,000 for the general.
But the bill also had a sweetener for those who choose to take private dollars, increasing the amount they could accept.
Now, statewide candidates can take only $840 from any one person, with a maximum of $83,448 from political action committees. Paton's legislation would have doubled that, potentially making fundraising easier.
Similarly, legislative candidates now limited to $410 from an individual and $13,464 from all PACs combined would be able to get $615 from donors with the PAC cap at $26,978.
The bill also scrapped current law that limits the total any one person can contribute to all candidates to $5,610 in any one year.
But Paton ran into trouble, largely from fellow Senate Republicans who do not like public financing and see no reason to fix it. His measure came up short of the necessary votes for approval.
Paton actually is in agreement with those foes, at least philosophically. In fact, he sponsored a measure to ask voters next year to eliminate all public funding for future elections.
That proposal failed. But Paton said that plan will come back next session.
Paton said he agreed to sponsor this fix only because candidates for the 2010 race needed some certainty about how to finance their campaigns.
That is also the logic of the Arizona Republican Party, which lobbied, unsuccessfully, for passage of the proposal. "We think it's critical to have certainty going into the 2010 election," said Brett Mecum, the party's executive director.

New Albany and Kossuth Fight to Scoreless Draw
By Dennis Clayton on August 21, 2013 in Sports
by Dennis Clayton
The fall sports season is officially here. New Albany got their football season started with a two quarter jamboree game at Kossuth. The teams battled to a 0-0 tie. Both offenses made some ball movement, but both were unsuccessful in denting the scoreboard.
Coach Ron Price said "We knew coming in what we wanted to see. We did not move the ball like we wanted to, the defense put us in some great positions to put some points on the board. Kossuth's defense would make a big play every time and keep us out of the end zone."
"The kids overall tonight played with great attitudes and gave great effort. Now we need to get back and watch the film and make sure that we (coaches) make the right adjustments for Friday night," stated Price.
Price noted the play of Jake McDonald on defense saying "he did a great job on defense, he's having to play on both sides of the ball. He was going a hundred percent tonight and made many plays for us on defense."
Offensively, Price said "Jimmy Baldon played a great game for us tonight, we've got to get the ball in his hands. He's the guy that's going to be our offensive threat this year."
Coach Price said that quarterback Bryce Collins did a good job of managing the game and that he was trying to get Collins comfortable in a high school situation. Price said "hopefully we'll move the football with our running game and that will open up our passing game."
Looking forward to the Water Valley game, Price said that Water Valley would be very athletic and have a lot of team speed especially at the skill positions. Price said the quarterback was an Arkansas State signee and was very talented. Kickoff for Friday's game is at 7:00.

I'm not a gun owner but I do believe in the fundamental right to possess fire arms. I would never support the NRA, however, on account of a number of its stances. I would support a more moderate organization that more closely mirrored my beliefs. JMO, but if the NRA re-branded itself to be more inclusive and mainstream, they could benefit. I could be totally offbase though.
You can probably say the same thing, on the opposite spectrum, about NOW. There are probably a good number of people who support a women's fundamental right to choose but would never support NOW on account of certain of their positions.

C.H. Mason Upper Room Prayer Chamber
Deliverance for my brother (please read)
|Submitted By:
|Tina Durden
|Prayer Request:
|I am requesting prayer for my brother to be delivered from depression. He was a funny, talkative, and independent person. However, he's been mistreated,misunderstood and belittled, by others his entire life. He's been called names and labels have placed on him. He's been, mentally, emotionally,verbally and physically abused in the worst ways. This has spanned over his entire life. He just turned 28 years old I know he has dreams and aspirations. He goes to church but it's like the devil won't let him sit comfortable in church. About 3 or 4 years ago. The church had a revival (i did not attend) and after the revival he started having episodes (only at church)in which he will yell and scream and jump up during the entire service. Sometimes the church would pray and sometimes they didn't. Eventually my brother learned the suppress it and just sits in church trembling. He doesn't talk to anyone anymore. His nerves are so bad to the point that he shakes, and is fidgety. If someone walks in his direction he'll turn around and walk the other direction or moves abruptly as if someone is going to hit him even if its a family member. He sits on the couch 24/7. Trust me this is no way for anybody live and this is not the brother I grew up with. He's smart, funny, and gifted.I need for him to be happy and confident. I've been on suicide watch ever since I was 14 years old and I will be 26 in December I cannot accept depression in my brother's life. It has taken a toll on me as well I feel as if no one else understands him or even know him as an individual. He won't talk so it's hard to figure out what he is thinking or feeling. Sometimes I feel no cares anymore and has accepted him in this state. So I end up feeling like I can't move on in life because I don't want to leave him behind. I want my brother restored to his normal self and to be saved and that the demons that plague him are cast out of him. I need prayer for my self as well because the situation affects me as well. I can't be content when I know someone I love in misery. I know I said a lot but I don't have anybody to talk to about this. I felt that with this situation I needed be as specific as possible. My brothers name is Ernest. Thank you for the prayers. God Bless you!!
The C.H. Mason Upper Room Prayer Chamber allows saints to list their prayer petitions online so prayer warriors around the globe can pray for them.
While there is often the temptation to only pray when there is an emergency or when in dire need, the Prayer Chamber is an incredible tool that encourages people to continually pray and to share their prayer needs, as well as to pray at designated times.

About Chris James
We are both Cornish but do not live in Cornwall. We bought the cottage so that we could visit our elderly parents. We consider Dharma House our home and maintain it as such. It is well equipped, therefore. We have been letting it for several years now and aim to meet the expectations of modern guests.
Why Chris James chose Whitecross
Traditional granite cottage. Centrally located in West Cormwall only a five minute drive to either the North or South Coast. Quiet. Good for walkers. Sleeps five comfortably. Attentive to guests comments and suggestions so continually improving.
What makes this cottage unique
Wood-burning stove. Pleasant garden. Well-equipped. Parking for two cars. No hidden extra costs.
Guestbook comments from the owner
We thought that the cottage was just perfect. Although we're not experienced cottage-hirers, we were surprised how nicely decorated it was, how comfortable, how easy to locate and how well located. We appreciated the welcoming touches of the tea, milk, flowers and logs. Our planned first night out ended up as a night in! Everything worked, the traditional games were fun and the plentiful guide/historical books gave us fresh ideas on where to visit during the half term. The weather held well enough too (but that wasn't in the contract so...).

Let's face it folks. We have six days between games and there isn't much to talk about in Canucks land right now.
The Rypien saga looks to be mostly contained. The Canucks don't have rookies in the lineup where they need to send them back to the minors or to junior. And the supposed goaltending "controversy" was all for naught.
So let's review the Canucks season so far. Why not, eh?

Game Day Recon #09 - Avalanche @ Canucks
The Vancouver Canucks are starting the season by dealing with mounting injury problems, especially on defense. Tonight they face another team with missing bodies on the blueline, as they face Colorado at Rogers Arena. Will the Canucks depth on defense be able to withstand the high-flying Avs forwards? And will the young and inexperienced Avs D be able to contain the Canucks forwards who may have finally found its groove.

This is Issac Newton. In addition to discovering gravity, he developed quadratic equations and famously invented the number '3.' "It was an obvious thing to do" he would later explain, "there was such a big opportunity between 2 and 4. It was only a matter of time between someone closed the gap."

Frozen diet meals like Lean Cuisine, Weight Watchers and Healthy Choice offer a wide range of options – you can find everything from breakfast sandwiches to pizza to Chinese noodle dishes. Those in favor of these packaged meals are all about the ease of use.
Top 5 Pros
• Portion controlled
• Ready in minutes
• A wide variety to choose from
• Easy to transport and store at work
• No cooking skills required
Folks on the opposing side argue that convenience will cost you.
Top 5 Cons
• Loaded with sodium – most brands have a at least 25-percent of the your daily recommendation
• Unappetizing odor and fake taste
• Lots of unrecognizable ingredients, little real food
• Pricey – $4 a box may not seem like a lot but cost can pile up quickly
• Not a long-term solution to healthy eating (do you want to rely on these meals forever?)
Bottom Line: What's more important? Eating real whole foods or taking the effort (and creativity) out of meal prep? If convenience trumps quality, you may want to reconsider how much you value your health.
Tell Us: We feel a taste test coming on. Which brands would you like us to try?

MP3s: 61 versions of Tico Tico below the jump
Maybe the reason I keep playing single-chord songs on my show lately is because at one time, I couldn't get enough of the song Tico Tico, the tune that packs in more notes per measure than a scat singer on Dexedrine. I stumbled onto my cassette cache of Tico Tico's the other day, and without someone nearby to slap some sense into me, I ripped all of them. Then I came to the station and proceeded to find even more versions. Then I stupidly searched online and.. and…and… just go below the jump for all 61 versions.
Tico Tico was written in 1917 by Zequinha de Abreu. The song's first title was actually Tico Tico no Farelo, and in the 40's it became Tico Tico no Fuba. The song was imported to the US by Disney via their animated piece of World War Two-era Happy Latinos propaganda, "Saludos Amigos," in which Donald Duck introduces the song. That version is below. Do I want more versions? No. Unless you have the Captain Beefheart version. I gave up my Tico Tico obsession on the air years ago because I quickly discovered it was a bottomless pit of wants, desires and notes. Lots of notes. Three hour's worth (note to Kenny G: don't do it!)
Next song to get this treatement, The Internationale. It has fewer notes.

Dear god why can't I make mayo in my food processor?
- yobofofas Aug 14, 2010 12:44 PM
Ok, I'm going insane. Why can't I do this? I add two egg yolks, a teaspoon of mustard. Turn on the food processor, slowly pour in the oil (i've tried mind-numbingly slow to slow stream, and every time I end up with liquid. What's wrong with me? I followed both Jole Robuchon and Gordon Ramsey's recipes verbatim. Is it me? Am I the problem?
Actually, I think it's the recipes that you're using. Mayonnaise is an emulsion; tiny droplets of oil suspended in water. For the droplets of oil to do this, they need an emulsifier, something that can hang on to both the oil and the water and keep them from separating into an oily mess. You have plenty of emulsifier in the egg yolk and the mustard. You have plenty of oil. What you don't have is enough water to wrap around the oil, the emulsion won't form without it. Lemon juice is my favorite; if you find it comes out too tangy, you can cut it 50/50 with water. Food scientist Shirley Corriher uses 2 yolks, 2 tablespoons each of water and lemon, and gently cooks the mixture until the yolks just start to thicken. Once off the heat, in goes 1/2 teaspoon of sugar, a teaspoon of dry mustard, and a scant teaspoon of salt. She then throws it all in a blender and slowly drizzles in 1 cup of oil. Cook's Illustrated blends 2 egg yolks, 4 teaspoons of lemon juice, and 1/8 teaspoon of sugar in a food processor, then slowly adds 3/4 cup of oil, and adds salt and pepper to taste. Try either of those, it should come out MUCH better than either the Robuchon or Ramsay recipes.
re: JK Grence the Cosmic Jester
I would concur. It's got to be the recipe. I've made mayo in the FP on and off for years. Even my "mini" cuisinart (or "the herb mincer," as I think of it) makes good mayo.
re: JK Grence the Cosmic Jester
According to my recipe isn't enough mustard either. We also don't know how much oil is being used.
My recipe is 2 yolks, 1 tbsp lemon juice, 1 tbsp dijon and 2 c canola oil. Procedure is simple.
Now, first and foremost, due to my diet I do not put salt or sugar in it. Secondly, if there isn't enough oil it will be runny. Mine can get very thick but only at the end. I have to get about 3/4 of the way through the oil before I notice significant thickening.
re: jaykayen
Poster said food processor. Not blender, not mixing bowl and whisk.
re: kemi5
I use my food processor to make mayo. It comes out just fine, and my arms don't get sore from the constant whisking. A food processor actually does BETTER at creating a stable emulsion because the whirling blade breaks up the oil into smaller droplets than a whisk can. Using a mixer sounds like a good way to fling the slowly drizzled oil all over your kitchen. I should mention that as a direct result of the more vigorous mixing, mayonnaise made in a food processor is considerably stiffer than whisked mayo; FP mayo comes out closer to commercial mayo in texture, while whisked mayo is about as thick as yogurt.
re: JK Grence the Cosmic Jester
I'll have to give it a try in the FP and report back. In culinary school we made large batches in a stand mixer so the qty. made vs. the volume of the bowl being used is probably a factor as well. I only make a cup or 2 as needed now. I do concur with JK that vinegar or lemon juice is a superior emulsifying aid rather then mustard because of the liquidity. I enjoy using an infused vinegar for a herbaceous backnote.
re: kemi5
Pardon me while I get all Alton Brown here... Lemon juice isn't the emulsifier. The egg yolk and mustard are. I'm a bartender, so I'm going to use my favorite setting, a cocktail party, as a metaphor for the mayonnaise. Think of two groups of people at a party (the oil and the lemon juice). Left to their own devices, they'll generally stick with their own kind and stay as two separate groups. There's also a hostess at the party (your mixing method). She can bring people together and get them to mingle (mix oil and lemon together), and the harder she tries (with a blender or food processor instead of a whisk), the longer they'll stay together . if she stops, then the two groups of people will eventually slink back together to be with their own friends (separate back into oil and lemon instead of being a vinaigrette). That's where a tray of drinks (the mustard and egg yolk) comes in. When the hostess introduces two people and gives them a drink (mixes everything together including the egg yolk and mustard), they now both have a drink they like (the oil and the lemon juice both hold on to the egg yolk and mustard), and will stick with each other for a longer time.
re: JK Grence the Cosmic Jester
Fantastic metaphor! Love, love, love!
re: JK Grence the Cosmic Jester
Ok JK, I really do understand how an emulsion works but I did say the lemon juice, or vinegar was an "aid" but not THE emulsifier in mayo making. BTW, have you made a vinaigrette (not Caesar) without lemon juice or vinegar as the emulsifier?
re: JK Grence the Cosmic Jester
Did we have our own Good Eats marathon??
re: dianne0712
Yes it will. As stated, I use my food processor to make mayo. In fact, I made some on the weekend. It works just fine.
re: Passadumkeg
I have heard this is an urban myth, if not..why? (PS this was asked of me 20 years ago and I am stymied)
re: Passadumkeg
Or earthquakes.
re: Davwud
Generally speaking, I don't do emulsions when the sun is exploding.
an hour in the fridge helps thicken and gives any flavors such as garlic in an aioli or ali-oli a chance to meld. I've never used water, used a mini-prep on occasion and usu. add lemon juice at the end (before the fridge).
I had the same problem. I blamed it on the food processor and the recipes. Then Antelope turned me on to using a quart jar and a stick blender. Perfect!
Go to this thread: http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/7188... and scroll down to Antelopes entry "Homemade Best Foods/Hellmans Mayonnaise using stick blender".
re: morwen
Here is a working link to my recipe for making mayo with a stick blender. You can also substitute 1/4 cup of Original Eggbeaters for the whole egg.
re: Antilope
Thanks - I will definitely try this!
Okay. My food processor only fails to make good mayo when the kitchen is over 100º.
One whole egg, plus one egg yoik, 1/2 teaspoon dijon mustard, 1 tablespoon lemon juice [less if you like less bite], plus 1 tablespoon oil in the work bowl. Whirl this in the processor for at least 10 seconds to get the emulsion started. Now with the machine running, add the oil in a slow steady stream, up to 1.5 cups, though I generally only use 1 cup.
When all the oil has been incorporated, open the top, taste, add salt and white pepper, and more lemon juice or mustard to taste. Whirl a bit more, and you have great mayo!
This method of mayo making was published by Abby Mandel and Cuisinart back in the early 80's.
Ok, crisis averted. It wasn't the recipe, thunderstorms, acid, emulsifier or lack thereof. Thank you to everone who responded but I'm afraid the problem was much more simple than I expected. It's almost embarrassing. It turns out there is a very small space between the blade and the bottom of the bowl. When using less than 3 eggs there just isn't enough liquid present in the bowl to whip the eggs with the mustard. Therefore, add all the oil you want as slow as you can and still, the mustard is sitting on the bottom of the bowl rather than whipped into the eggs. No emulsifiers = no emulsification. The solution; add another egg yolk. More yolk, more liquid for the blades to whip with mustard and, voila, I can make Mayo in food processor. Thanks again guys.
re: yobofofas
Ha! Sometimes it's the simplest things, isn't it?
re: yobofofas
Way to go, yobofofas!
re: yobofofas
Excellent use of root cause analysis in the ktichen! As an aerospace quality manager, I often have to sit back and find out what went wrong with what I'm making. Material, method, machine, manpower...all the major categories of potential issues. My hat is off to you, yobofofas!
20 replies and not one who knew what they where talking about!? The food processor blade turn so fast that it physically breaks apart the lecithin, the emulsifier that binds mayo together. Add an egg white. It's proteins protect the lecithin from destruction. Mayo is not witch craft. It's science.
I go 2 tablespoons of Vinegar, 1-2 tablespoon Lemon juice, a heaping tablespoon hot mustard, 1 egg, 1 egg yolk, 2 cups oil. Also, don't use EVOO, It doesn't hold up in the food processor.
re: guitarpah
I have made mayo in the fp for 20 years and have never failed and have never used a white. And although I don't usually like evoo mayo on the occasions I have made it it has worked fine.
so perhaps it is you who don't know what you are talking about.
re: guitarpah
As my usual method of making mayonnaise IS the food processor, I know damn well what I'm talking about. What, pray tell, does lecithin break down into when beaten too hard? I'd just *love* to find out.
re: JK Grence the Cosmic Jester
*LOL*. obviously, you are the FP Mayo Master. Nice rejoinder to a snarky comment.
re: JK Grence the Cosmic Jester
mechanically I'd say there's validity to gpah's premise, but sheesh how long didja run it? a brief coupla pulses and just toss it in the fridge to set. sure a whisk (french whisk btw) would be more hardcore but I fail to see the difference if one employs discretion and good timing.
It doesn't work for me in the food processor, either and I have made gallons of aoilo/mayo in other devices. I always suspected it was because of too little ingredient in the bowl as you say you've discovered. And I do agree that it's possible it beats up the egg yolk too much and destroys it's emulsifier.
FWIW, everything besides the egg yolk and oil is just flavoring. That stuff has nothing to do with the recipe "working".
Use an immersion blender or do it by hand if you want a smaller amount.
It never works for me either, and I think it's because my food processor blades sit slightly above the bottom of the container. Unless you're making a really large quantity of mayo, the liquid just sits on the bottom and the blades spin above it. You need a blade/whisk that will actually touch the bottom of the container.
An immersion blender or whisking by hand is the way to go!
re: kathleen440
"You need a blade/whisk that will actually touch the bottom of the container."
No you don't.
re: kathleen440
Both a regular and an immersion blender have blades that don't touch the bottom either. In fact, my Cuisinart blade *is* the bottom of the blade device, so it comes as close as is physically possible to touching the bottom of the workbowl. Much closer than an immersion blender could.
Not saying immersion blenders don't make great mayo, just that one isn't required.
I made some in a regular blender yesterday, using this recipe from the Wall Street Journal: http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001...
Turned out perfect, no issues with emulsification.
re: loratliff
That site requires a subscription. Could you paraphrase the recipe? Also, does it make a large or small amount? Or is the recipe scalable? I'm on the lookout for a tried Nd true recipe that makes a small amount of mayo.
re: nofunlatte
If you're looking to make a small amount of mayo, the immersion/stick blender is the way to go, as older posts mentioned in this thread above. Serious Eats has a great article (with video) for how to do it: http://www.seriouseats.com/recipes/20....
The absolutely essential detail of this method is to use a container that is barely wider than the head of your stick blender. I have a Cuisinart SmartStick and the cup it comes with is perfect for this.
I know this is an old thread, but I have had this problem for days and I am stumped. Previously, I lived in Rochester, New York. I could make a single batch (2 yolks) in my food processor, or even in my blender, without changing the basic recipe. I never had to add the oil slowly. I dumped everything in and got instant--PERFECT--mayonnaise.
I now live in Phoenix, Arizona. I just dumped out my fourth batch of attempted mayo and I am going to kill someone (not really--just exasperated and p.o.'d beyond belief).
Something else is going on here.
re: SusieMac
Check this out, put a folded towel under one side of your food processor, so it's tipped at an angle. This helps the blades grab the small amount of egg yolk. Pour your oil slowly and boom. You've got mayo.
re: yobofofas
Thanks. I tipped it the entire time I was making it, but no luck! Drat!
re: SusieMac
Sorry to hear of your frustrations.
Maybe the eggs in Phoenix are slightly smaller than the Rochester eggs, and there isn't even volume to get started.
Try one more batch with an additional egg yolk?
re: KarenDW
I did add another yolk to my fourth batch, but no luck! We live next to a mountain range and our barometer reads "stormy"--very low pressure--even though we rarely get storms here.
I'm going to chalk it up to the low pressure here.
My hygrometer reads 40, and my barometer reads 970.
HOWEVER, I am going to go to the supply store today and buy some kitchen gadgets to get my mind off of it! I will most likely try my mayo again in a few days, just because I am a masochist like that.
If it doesn't work again I am going to declare my house a ghost zone, because there is probably an evil witch in the vicinity, spoiling everything. Uh...right? Wait--I'm not the evil witch. It's not me. ......?
Thanks for the reply!

First graphene-based flexible display producedSeptember 5, 2014 12:03 pm | Videos | Comments
A flexible display incorporating graphene in its pixels' electronics has been successfully demonstrated by the Cambridge Graphene Centre and Plastic Logic. The new prototype is an active matrix electrophoretic display, similar to the screens used in today's e-readers, except it is made of flexible plastic instead of glass. This advance marks the first time graphene has been used in a transistor-based flexible device.

In a low scoring game, one pitch can end up being the difference. Unfortunately, it turned out that Yordano Ventura made that one mistake, as the Royals fell to the Baltimore Orioles 2-1.
Ventura ran into trouble early on, allowing back to back base hits to Nick Markakis and Manny Machado to open the game. However, Ventura fought back, getting a double play and striking out Chris Davis to end the threat. From that point, Ventura settled in. He needed to, as Orioles starter Wei-Yin Chen was making quick work of the Royals lineup.
The game remained scoreless until the top of the fourth. Following a leadoff walk to Davis, Nelson Cruz drilled a pitch right over the heart of the plate to deep right center, giving the Orioles a 2-0 lead. Ventura settled in from that point, retiring ten batters in a row, but the damage had already been done.
The Royals had their chance in the bottom of the inning. The Royals loaded the bases with one out on three singles, bringing up Danny Valencia to face his old team. Valencia drilled the 0-1 pitch deep to left, but it remained in the park for a sacrifice fly, scoring Eric Hosmer and moving Salvador Perez to third. Chen managed to get Johnny Giavotella to fly out to right to end the threat, but the Royals were able to cut the lead to 2-1.
Kansas City appeared as though they would get to Chen in the bottom of the sixth. With one out, the Royals put runners on first and second, ending the night for Chen and bringing in Darren O'Day. O'Day was terrific in his outing, as the sidearmer set down all five batters he faced, stifling the threat.
The Orioles had a chance of their own in the top of the seventh. With one out, J.J. Hardy and Ryan Flaherty singled, ending Yordano Ventura's night. Tim Collins came in, striking out David Lough to get the Royals within an out of escaping the jam. On a 2-2 pitch, Markakis grounded a single to shallow left. Hardy attempted to score, and the Orioles learned what many teams have already discovered – do not run on Alex Gordon. Gordon cut Hardy down at the plate with ease, keeping the Royals within a run.
Unfortunately, the Royals were unable to mount a rally against the Orioles bullpen, as they were unable to get a baserunner against Baltimore's relievers. Zack Britton came on and pitched a perfect ninth, nailing down his first career save and sending the Royals to a 2-1 loss.
Yordano Ventura certainly deserved a better outcome, taking the loss as he gave up two earned runs on seven hits and a walk, striking out nine in his 6.1 innings of work. Gordon was 2-4 in the loss.

For the past few weeks, as part of my project exploring black women, relationships and marriage, I've been immersing myself in books, films, blog posts and other media on the subject. Last week I read Act Like A Lady, Think Like A Man and am still trying to wash off the film and stink of patriarchy. I told my husband over the weekend that I am unbelievably proud of black women. As a group we are able to hold our heads high in the face of the relentless narrative that there is something wrong with us that needs to be fixed; that, for us, admirable qualities like independence, only make us more unlovable–a narrative not only championed by the mainstream, but, too often, by members of our own communities.
So, singer, actor and (God help us) author Tyrese decided to drop a little wisdom on the black lady folk during a recent interview with NecoleBitchie.com. (above) He warns us about being "too independent."
Bet Chick-fil-A wishes this month would end. Over the past few weeks, the restaurant chain's deep ties to the anti-gay movement have been exposed and uncovered by a number of activists, most notably Jeremy Hooper at Good As You. Whether it's Focus on the Family, the National Organization for Marriage, the Pennsylvania Family Institute, or Exodus International, Chick-fil-A ties run deep.
Of course, the President of Chick-fil-A wants gay people to share no hard feelings. The restaurant will gladly feed homosexuals gobs of chicken sandwiches, after all. But when it comes to marriage, Chick-fil-A believes strongly that same-sex couples just don't deserve equal rights.
As we wrote about a few weeks ago, Chick-fil-A's charitable arm, the WinShape Foundation, has been particularly active in the fight against marriage equality. They've hosted conferences with some of the leading opponents of gay marriage in this country. A higher up at WinShape has even praised the efforts of anti-gay activist David Blankenhorn for working against marriage equality, and for articulating a solid reason why American culture should reject same-sex couples.
Stealing information can be just as lucrative—and destructive—as stealing anything else. Our look at the history of data theft touches on some of the major (or just really interesting) crimes in history. The father of the American Industrial Revolution? A glorified data thief. That tea you're drinking (let's say just for the duration of this sentence, you are drinking tea)? That's a stolen secret recipe, the theft of which involved a Scotsman dressed up in "traditional mandarin garb." And if you're a PlayStation Network user or a Gawker commenter, you'll be familiar with some of the latter items on our list.
In the annals of Thomas's loose relationship with judicial ethics, Thomas and Crow's involvement with this museum is a fairly minor incident. The many personal gifts Thomas accepted from wealthy benefactors, including Crow, are much more disturbing. Beyond the Bible Crow gave Thomas — which is valued at $19,000 — and the half-million in start-up funds Crow provided Thomas's wife, Thomas also accepted a $15,000 gift from a corporate-aligned think tank that occasionally files briefs in Thomas's very Court.
This kind of gift-taking is obviously quite rare on the Supreme Court, but it is not exactly unprecedented. Forty years ago, Justice Abe Fortas accepted $15,000 to teach a series of seminars — funded by the leaders of frequent corporate litigants including the vice president of Phillip Morris — and he accepted a $20,000 retainer from a stock speculator who was eventually convicted of numerous securities violations. This gifting scandal, which is remarkably similar to the scandal Thomas is currently embroiled in, forced Fortas to resign from the bench in disgrace.

The issue of whether — or how much — social-media tools such as Facebook and Twitter influenced the "Arab Spring" revolutions in Egypt and elsewhere has been a contentious one since the first rock was thrown in Tunisia earlier this year. But as more experts have studied the events in those countries, it has become increasingly clear that social tools and networks played a fairly critical role in helping turn what had been undercurrents of dissent into open revolt. Although they didn't cause those revolutions to happen by any means, it's arguable that they would never have happened — or at least would have happened in very different ways — if it wasn't for the use of Facebook and other forms of social media.

His finest hour occurred about 38 years ago, but the red-headed stranger has stayed trucking. Willie Nelson's latest record, Let's Face the Music and Dance, is one of 2013's more pleasant listens. Nelson wrote just one of its 14 songs himself (the rest are standards like Carl Perkins's "Matchbox" and Django Reinhardt's "Vous Et Moi"), but he sings all of them with an intimacy that suggests they're his and his alone. Modestly arranged with acoustic guitar usually at the fore, it's a quiet record, perhaps deliberately so in order to protect the 80-year-old Nelson's ears. But ultimately, Face the Music hits hard enough to persuade listeners to keep up with the guy so long as he keeps recording stuff this tender.

Two words: Damian Lillard. If you see Damian and the resurgent Portland Trail Blazers ever scrap their way into a championship run, remember this playoff season as the beginning. By watching and noting the differences between the great western point guards as the play each other over a series, Lillard logs where they break down, or more importantly where he will break them. This man is witness to the best guards in the NBA, just like you. He learned their moves, what they like to do on the court, and paid tuition with the nicks and knocks he took from them all season. Now he watches Russell Westbrook fly like other fans of the game, except he's been in the air with him. He's watching Chris Paul make balls disappear from Mike Conley. Does he see some of himself in Andre Miller fourteen years in the league? He could since Miller's wearing a Blazer uniform on his wiki page. When Stephen Curry launches a long ball, you don't say to yours...

Marketplace: "A few medical tourism groups want to bring more American patients to Mexican hospitals for more than cheap prescriptions and dental work. They're promoting top notch care for cheaper price tag than what the patient would get in the U.S." One such group, located in Tijuana, Mexico, thinks it has the answer to more affordable health care. This organization, The organization, "sort of a mix between a PR firm and an accreditation service" reviews and "certifies health care providers in Baja California, and refers American patients to the region's hospitals and doctors -- places like Excel Medical Center in Tijuana" (Ferguson, 7/19).

Amey rules out formal panel plan following Enterprise merger
31 January 2014
In an age where every law firm with more than five partners claims to have a full-service national capability, it is refreshing to find a firm that makes no such claim - a firm which nevertheless has a client list to make much larger practices green with envy.
Glovers, with its nine partners and
Mayfair base, may seem like an old-fashioned kind of London law firm, but appearances are deceptive. It is actually strictly commercial, having ditched its private client practice seven years ago, and is now focused on employment, commercial disputes, commercial property, construction and property finance.
"If a client wants advice outside these core areas we decline, because we don't pretend to be something we're not," says managing partner Tony Bourne.
The strategy seems to work. The firm is the sole adviser to American Express Group in the UK on employment law, having won the client through a beauty parade three years ago. It also advises construction giant Sir Robert McAlpine on non-PFI matters and the Ask restaurant group on everything from property finance to health and safety (there are plans to replace banking partner Neil Blows, who left in May to become chief executive officer of Ask).
"It's a cliché, but we try to provide a big-firm service across a very specific range of practice areas - and nothing more," says Bourne.
The firm has evolved to its current size and shape over the past decade. It acquired the construction practice of partner David Miles 10 years ago, shortly before ditching private client. The second construction partner Philip Eyre is also a quantity surveyor, and it is a team that Bourne hopes to build on.
The largest teams in terms of turnover are dispute resolution and commercial property, accounting for approximately 45 per cent and 33 per cent respectively.
The stellar client list is one reason why the firm is regularly approached about merger opportunities, says Bourne. In the past they have always been quickly dismissed. "Our lawyers are here because they like working in a firm of this size and shape," he explains.
But with no sign of competition in the legal market diminishing, he admits that growth through acquisition or merger cannot be ruled out indefinitely.
"Organic growth has never really thrilled me, so we're working with headhunters to see who's out there. In the past we've always waited for people to approach us; from now on we're being more proactive," he says.
Future growth is aimed at developing existing practice areas as well as IT and intellectual property. "It's difficult," says Bourne. "The partners are very close and like the firm as it is. We have to weigh the benefits of growth via merger or acquisition against reshaping it and risking making our current lawyers - and potentially clients - unhappy."
Last year's £4m turnover was a 13 per cent increase on last year's and is a figure that the firm would settle for next year. "I'd expect us to be operating in the same areas, but with more strength in depth. We're not planning anything too radical. Our lawyers wouldn't like it and nor would our clients. It's a cautious strategy, but in this market it's best not to be lairy," says Bourne.
Senior and managing partner: Tony Bourne
Turnover: £4m
Number of equity partners: Five
Total number of partners: Nine
Total number of solicitors (excluding trainees, paralegals and legal executives): 25
