Fourth time lucky: Hanan Turk is now the proud Mama of a Baby Girl!
Egyptian starlet Hanan Turk has just become a Mummy for the fourth time around, and she must be overjoyed to finally experience being a mum to a girl!
The former actress is married to Mahmoud, whose brother is the noted Muslim Brotherhood figure Hassan Malek, and who many suspect is the reason behind her quitting showbiz.
Mahmoud is Hanan's third hubby, who was by her side when she gave birth to their baby girl in one of Cairo's hospitals.
Standing closely by Hanan's side at the hospital were also her family, friends and close friends from the entertainment world.
According to Sayidaty.net, the little bundle of joy is yet to be named, since she came to the world a little earlier than expected.
Doctors assured the concerned mum that her baby girl is doing well and there is no need to place her in an incubator.
Hanan has two boys from her first marriage and a third from her second marriage.

Achievement Guide + Roadmap
iStunt 2
-Estimated achievement difficulty: 4/10
-Estimated time for 200: 5-9 hours
-Minimum playthroughs: 1 (level select)
-Offline: 20/20 (200)
-Online: 0/20 (0)
-Missable Achievements: 0 (level select)
-Unobtainable Achievements: 0
-Does difficulty affect achievements: No difficulty option
-Cheats disable achievements: No cheats
-Glitchy achievements: 1 (Superstar...see description)
-Extra equipment needed: Windows 8 PC or Tablet
iStunt 2 is a 2D physics-based racer in the form of a snowboarding game. You begin each level in a gravitationally-favorable position, with the goal of making it through the obstacles to the finish line. The levels mostly play out like a roller coaster, so you are essentially along for the ride. Tilting and jumping with your snowboarder to react to the environment is your only task. The controls are crisp, which make the game quite fun to play. There are more than 80 levels to complete, with each also having ten gold stars to be collected along the way for several of the game's achievements. The tablet and PC controls are both very suitable. Currently the game is available for $3.99 in the Windows 8 Store.
Step 1: Complete all the levels and get all the stars on first two level packs
Play through the game, starting from the beginning, completing all of the levels. Make sure to collect the 10 stars from each level of the first two level packs to earn those specific achievements. Afterwards, you do not need to worry about stars at all.
Step 2: Mop-up miscellaneous achievements
There are a good bit of miscellaneous achievements in the game. You will get many of them without even trying, but for those that you miss in Step 1, look up their descriptions and find the best strategies and levels to complete them on quickly.
The physics in the game are consistently stellar. Completing the levels is not much of a challenge, but collecting the stars in order to earn Gold ranks takes some practice and memorization of the levels. With the exception of this star collecting, the game is rather easy. The levels are always short and there are ample checkpoints. You should have no problem completing the game in under 8 hours.
COMPLETION ACHIEVEMENTS (8 for 90 )
The following 8 achievements are obtained just by completing all levels of the game and are unmissable.
Graduation - 5
Complete Tutorials.
This achievement unlocks at the end of the very first level which serves as the game's tutorial.
Grabs Unlocked - 5
Unlock Grabs so you can perform Tail Grab, Nose Grab and Indy!
This achievement unlocks during Level 3 of Insane Hills towards the end when you learn how to perform grabs.
Insane Hills Completed - 15
Complete "Insane Hills" Pack.
See "Desert Paradise Completed."
Stadium Stunts Unlocked - 10

These achievements will all unlock along the way to completing every level of the four level packs in the game, which are Insane Hills, Stadium Stunts, Extreme Skies, and Desert Paradise. Completing a level only requires that you make it to the finish line. The collection of the gold stars is not required, but it is recommended for two of the game's other achievements. To save time, you should attempt to gain a Gold rank on each level before proceeding (this is for the first two level packs only), unless you get stuck.
See "Superstar" for more information about collecting stars.
GOAL : 300,000 Gamersore by Dec 31, 2015 - 331 COMPLETED GAMES (116 WP / 84 360 / 32 W8 / 2 GFWL / 15 XB1 / 81 XBLA / 3 Other)

Published November 28, 1994
TSN announced a deal with the NBA for the '94-95 season to show some 40-regular season games, plus playoffs. "But it didn't come easy, nor will a national cable contract for next season" when the Raptors and Grizzlies begin play, according to Rob Longley in the TORONTO SUN. Terms of the current deal were not announced, but TSN Coordinating Producer Scott Moore called it a "much more complicated negotiation" with the NBA than in the past. A '95-96 cable deal is "still under negotiation." Longley also reports that the Raptors' first local broadcast contract -- buying time on City-TV and CKVR -- "may be an innovative and controlling way" for the team to broadcast its games locally. "But it may also reflect the fact that basketball is yet to be seen as a hot property. ... If, as sources suggest, the Raptors paid $2 million for air time, aggressive selling and major advertising support will be needed to turn a profit. And it's a lot more work for the money than taking the $5 million or $6 million the Raptors would have hoped to get for simply handing over their local rights to a broadcaster" (TORONTO SUN, 11/25).

This is the script:
set d to do shell script "date +%d-%m-%Y"
tell application "Finder"
set dir to POSIX file ("/Volumes/Xsan/PathTo/Folder") as alias
repeat with f in entire contents of dir
if comment of f does not start with "Archived" then
set comment of f to "Archived " & d
set label index of f to 2
end if
end repeat
end tell
My problem is I am running this on a folder with 1000s of images and folders. Finder goes to around 90% CPU usage and it takes roughly 40 seconds PER FILE/FOLDER to set the comment and the label.
Is there some optimisation that anyone can suggest. Or alternatively, an alteration to the code that will allow a 100% Bash script implementation of this task? (If that helps with speed).
I feel there might be something in the "entire contents" command that is messing things up.
Like before it goes to make a change on a given file or folder, it is checking for tags of "Archived" on ALL of the files again after making a single change. I thought this would be cached in memory at the start.
Would love any ideas you may have!

(I have tried twice to post this directly on cyberchimps forum but the post did not appear. It must have fallen into spam or something. Unfortunately I was not able to find an email to ask)

Hey there! I have been very interested in what works for people and their life styles!!! We are TTC #1, but I would like to see if there is a big difference?
I am pretty crafty and I love to sew, so the cloth route seems like a nice alternative to disposables. I have heard of service, cloth premades etc. There is so much info out there!
We will both be working full time after taking a few months off, but on days that we need help we will be using grandma and grandpa, so no day care. My mother in law did cloth 30 years ago, so I know it has changed!

Deal said today that he met with Gingrich last week and they talked briefly about a possible White House bid.
Deal says Gingrich told him he was still deciding whether to run for the Republican nomination.
Gingrich threw his support behind Deal's gubernatorial bid during a hotly contested GOP runoff last summer. The two served together from Georgia in the U.S. House.
Gingrich has said he will decide by the end of February whether to launch an exploratory campaign and will announce his decision in early March.

March 8, 2013
SAN LUIS OBISPO, Calif. - Despite home runs from Sara Parsons and Ashley Butera, the University of Nevada softball team fell 9-7 to Sacramento State on Friday at the Mustang Classic.
The loss dropped the Wolf Pack to 10-12, while the Hornets improved to 10-5.
Nevada clawed out of a seven-run hole to tie the game at seven in the top of the fourth inning. Behind after Sacramento State scored seven runs in the second, the Pack got three in the third and four in the fourth.
The three runs in the third came on the fourth home run of the season from Parsons, who tied Megan Fincher for the team lead with the blast. With two runs across in the top of the fourth, Ashley Butera came to the plate and hit her third home run of the year, tying the contest at seven.
Parsons is now 5-for-7 at the Mustang Classic with two doubles, one home run and six RBI.
A run from Sacramento State in the bottom of the fourth gave the Hornets the lead again, with one more in the fifth proving to be the final run of the game.
Bailey Brewer came on in relief of Megan Dortch and pitched three innings, getting the loss to fall to 1-2 on the year. Taylor Stroud came on in relief of Sacramento State starter Jennifer Hartman and pitched the final 3.2 innings to get the win. She is 2-2 in 2013.
Nevada will meet Rutgers at 11:30 a.m. Saturday in its next contest.

Widespread (Nile Valley, Delta, Eastern Desert, oases, Gebel Uweinat).
Physical Description
Cairo spiny mice are defined by gray-brown to sandy colored, spiny hairs that cover their backs. These hairs resemble the spines of hedgehogs. The underside of these mice is characteristically white while the upper body is brown, grey, or beige colored. These mice have a body length of 7 to 17 cm, weigh between 30 and 70 g. They are characterized by a scaly, hairless tail that varies in length from 5 to 12 cm.
Range mass: 30 to 70 g.
Range length: 7 to 17 cm.
Other Physical Features: endothermic ; homoiothermic; bilateral symmetry
Sexual Dimorphism: sexes alike

Body length: 75–138 mm. Tail length: 85–138 mm. Weight: 21–64 gm.
Cairo spiny mice tend to live in arid, rocky habitats, such as rocky canyons, near cliffs, or near human habitation where they use crevices in buildings. They may also be found in gravelly washes, but are not generally found in sandy areas. They are found mostly on the ground and in burrows, but they occasionally climb. Generally, these spiny mice avoid altitudes above 1500 meters.
Range elevation: 1500 (high) m.
Habitat Regions: temperate ; terrestrial
Terrestrial Biomes: desert or dune ; savanna or grassland

Habitat and Ecology
- Terrestrial
Habitat and Ecology
- Terrestrial
Cairo spiny mouse inhabits in rocky arid regions, desert gardens, settlements, huts and houses.
Trophic Strategy
Cairo spiny mice are omnivorous and opportunistic, eating seeds, fruits, dried plants, spiders, small insects, and even snails. This species has also been known to feed on dried Egyptian mummies. In populations that live in close contact with humans, they are known to feed on grains, stored food, and human crops.
Animal Foods: carrion ; insects; terrestrial non-insect arthropods; mollusks
Plant Foods: leaves; seeds, grains, and nuts; fruit
Primary Diet: omnivore
Cairo spiny mice serve as a food source for Vulpes cana. They also are parasitized by ticks and fleas that are carriers for diseases such as typhus, Salmonella food poisoning and spotted fever.
Commensal/Parasitic Species:
- lice (Siphonaptera)
- ticks (Ixodida)
The main predators of Cairo spiny mice are Blanford's foxes (Vulpes cana). In order to avoid this predator, Acomys cahirinus uses chemical signals to communicate with other mice in their group to warn them that danger is near. Though there are no published accounts of other predators, it is likely that the Egyptian spiny mouse are preyed on by a variety of species, such as nocturnal raptors and snakes.
Known Predators:
- Blanford's foxes (Vulpes cana)
Anti-predator Adaptations: cryptic
Life History and Behavior
Cairo spiny mice seem to use chemical signals in order to communicate with each other to warn others of dangerous predators; however, there is little information regarding specific chemicals produced by this species. This species most likely also perceives the environment through their other visual, tactile and acoustic senses.
Communication Channels: chemical
Other Communication Modes: pheromones
Perception Channels: visual ; tactile ; acoustic ; chemical
Nocturnal animal. Omnivorous, feeding on snails, insects, spiders, scorpions and sometimes on various plant parts. Lives in social groups. Cairo spiny mouse drinks large quantities of water because of high evaporation rate through skin and can survive without food or water for three to nine days, but cannot tolerate cold weather. The tail and large patches of dorsal skin come off easily when handled, an anti-predator device. Cairo spiny mouse breed throughout the year with peak in breeding activity from February to July. Female gives birth to litters of one to five young after a gestation period of around 42 days. The young are weaned after two weeks and reaches sexual maturity after two or three months. Cairo spiny mouse can live for three years.
Life Expectancy
In captivity, Cairo spiny mice live up to 4 years. No information is currently available for the lifespan of this species in the wild.
Range lifespan
Status: captivity: 4 (high) years.
Lifespan, longevity, and ageing
There is little specific information on the mating system of Cairo spiny mice in the literature. However, social groups seem to be made up of a dominant male and a group of females, suggesting polgyny. Females have help from conspecifics in raising their young.
Mating System: polygynous ; cooperative breeder
The main breeding season of Cairo spiny mice is between September and January, while females are reproductively inactive from February through to August. However, other sources suggest that breeding may occur year-round. The main breeding season corresponds with the onset of the rainy season, which generally begins around September and ends in April. The increase in rain and food availability is perhaps the most important factor for reproduction in female Cairo spiny mice. This species reaches sexual maturity in about 2 months. Acomys cahirinus have a gestation period of 5 to 6 weeks, about 2 weeks longer than typical in similarly sized mice, which means that the young are extremely well developed at birth. Since they live in small groups (see Behavior below), during the birthing process, females tend to help each other by chewing through the umbilical cord and licking the placenta. The young are born with enough hair to thermoregulate independently without the help of a mother and also open their eyes at birth or within the first couple days. These mice tend to produce approximately 1 to 5 offspring in a litter and in just a few days after their birth, infant mice are treated as common children where they are nursed by every mother in the group and accepted everywhere. Incredibly enough, the new mother is fertile once again the evening of the same day she gives birth.
Breeding interval: Cairo spiny mice breed 3 to 4 times during their breeding season.
Breeding season: Acomys cahirinus breeds from September to January.
Range number of offspring: 1 to 5.
Range gestation period: 5 to 6 weeks.
Range age at sexual or reproductive maturity (female): 2 (low) months.
Range age at sexual or reproductive maturity (male): 2 (low) months.
Key Reproductive Features: iteroparous ; seasonal breeding ; gonochoric/gonochoristic/dioecious (sexes separate); sexual ; viviparous
Since Cairo spiny mice live in groups and care for young cooperatively, the mother is not solely responsible for parental care. Additionally, the advanced development of the young at birth and their early independence mean that the duration of parental investment is relatively short. By the third day after birth, young mice are already exploring and investigating their surroundings, and by the age of 2 months they are sexually mature.
Parental Investment: precocial ; female parental care ; pre-fertilization (Provisioning, Protecting: Female); pre-hatching/birth (Provisioning: Female, Protecting: Female); pre-weaning/fledging (Provisioning: Female, Protecting: Female)

Discrepancy - Fifth or Sixth Busiest Airport in China[edit]
This article says the airport is the fifth busiest in China; the article on Chengdu says it is the sixth busiest. Can anyone resolve the discrepancy? papageno (talk) 03:44, 16 May 2008 (UTC)
- This article describes the airport as the fifth busiest. Chengdu says it's the sixth 'largest'. I believe busiest is defined in passengers per year (arrivals/departures/transfers), while largest may be defined by area. I do agree there are discrepancies in the articles discussing this airport, though. For example, right now both Chengdu_Shuangliu_International_Airport and Shanghai_Hongqiao_International_Airport claim to be the "5th busiest airport in China", but I imagine this is because of using different years for the given statistics. Varuka (talk) 16:58, 16 May 2008 (UTC)
- This page should be the main source of information about the airport. Both claims of bigness were unreferenced, so a cleaned things up by removing a lot of information from the Chendu article, and making it say what this page says. When references are available and this article gets updated, we can then copy the information to the Chengdu article. I'm not sure what is factually correct, but the current edits make things consistent and much cleaner. —fudoreaper (talk) 23:54, 6 October 2008 (UTC)

Hi All
I'm using WP 3.1.1 Hebrew
I've installed the Converson Popup Survey plugin
And it works Great
Until I write in Hebrew, then It saves the Survey blank,
It erazes everything I've designed into the survey.
the Guy who created the plug - does not support it anymore, he told me to find where the code breaks. Being a newbie to all this, I have no idea where too look or what to look for in the code..
Will appriciate any help.

I just recently received a new laptop a couple of days ago and I've noticed that, whenever I'm gaming, the laptop spontaneously forgets that it's plugged in. That is, even though just a minute ago it was plugged in and charging, whenever I start to game, the laptop reports that it's on battery power, even though the adapter is still physically plugged in. To fix it, all I have to do is unplug and replug the laptop in and it thinks it's plugged in again, but usually just a few seconds later it will forget again. This doesn't happen under 'normal' usage. My thinking is that this happens because the laptop is using more power than it's taking in while gaming, and so it doesn't actually charge, and hence thinks it's not plugged in.
This presents an obvious problem, however. I have my power settings set up so as to conserve charge while on battery, but this means that games are essentially unplayable while on battery power. I don't really want to change these settings permanently (I'd like to conserve battery as much as I can whenever I don't have an outlet immediately available), but I also don't want to change the power settings every time I start and stop gaming. Is there any way to fix this problem? Perhaps I could trick it into thinking it's plugged in even if it's not charging?
Thanks in advance!
Here are my specs if relevant:
- Lenovo Y580
- 1366x768 Glossy LCD
- Intel Core i7 3rd Generation 3630QM @ 2.4GHz

After the immense success of Madagascar (2005) it was inevitable that sequels would follow, and that they did in the form of Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa (2008) and Madagascar 3: Europe'S Most Wanted (2012), with a fourth installment planned for 2018. However, it wasn't just the main characters/animals to win over the hearts of children and adults alike; four penguins by the names of Skipper, Kowalski, Rico and Private have shot to stardom, with their film Penguins Of Madagascar a hoot from beginning to end.

Penguins of Madagascar moves toward an interesting take on the sequel genre, if there is such a thing, by creating a spin-off film, from characters that have already had a spin-off show. Such is the appeal of the Madagascar films (though the straight sequels have had varying levels of success), that both the penguins and King Julien have managed animated series, and there's something to be said for the idea that if people love the penguin characters we should run with that.
The film bases its plot on the dueling ideas that Private is fed up with having no role in the crew, and that the penguins in general, and then to another level of "in general," have taken the spotlight off of a certain octopus.

Penguins of Madagascar was unlucky when it came to looking back over the year, because it was overshadowed by other animated efforts in a year that was just lousy with surprisingly strong animated releases. But, it's not a movie you should let slip past, and is one that will certainly be a rewatch staple for younger audiences for a long time.
We'll have a full review of the Digital release very soon, but wanted to make sure you got the news that the movie is available now on iTunes and other Digital HD retailers.
We also want to make sure you have all the info for the Blu-Ray release, including the toy pack that will be available. The iTunes release comes with the bonus features of the Blu-Ray release.

The PlayStation 3 is a multimedia hub that's well-suited to a wide range of users, even those who don't have an extensive video game collection. With streaming services, a built-in Blu-ray player and internet connectivity, there are plenty of ways you can stay entertained with Sony's console. Picking out the right PS3 accessories can create an even better experience while using the device, by enhancing all of its best features.
A controller is a basic necessity for every user. Consoles typically only come with one, so having extra controllers is necessary if you want to invite friends to play a game. You can pick and choose from numerous colors. Don't forget to buy a charger, as well. PS3s sync with new controllers via the wired connection, and without it, once a battery dies it's dead for good.
For people that use video services but have a hard time searching for movies and TV shows with the on-screen keyboard, there are external keyboards available. You won't have to navigate to different letters with the analog sticks after buying a mini-keyboard that syncs with your PS3.
As the Blu-ray player was a major part of the PS3's appeal for many, a remote control may be more intuitive to use than controllers and make on-screen navigation much simpler. Additionally, movies will look even better with a HDMI cable for a higher resolution picture.
For gamers who like to play online, a headset may be the perfect accessory to enhance the experience. You can use this tool to strategize with teammates or psych out an opponent during a heated basketball or football game.
Buying the right PlayStation 3 accessories can make the console even more fun to use and enhance all your favorite features.

Easter Crafts for Kids | Egg Decorating | Easter CraftsJoanne Roehm
Your children will get a kick out of helping to decorate the table for Easter dinner. These napkin rings are a colorful way to show off their creativity.
- White construction paper or drawing paper
- Paintbrushes
- Colored paint (as before, skip the kiddie tempera paint and use acrylic craft paint for bolder results and a thicker coat. Just be sure to cover up your painting surface and dress your child in a paint shirt to avoid stains)
- Colored construction paper or cardstock
- Scissors
How To:
- Give child a large sheet of white paper and paintbrush and ask them to cover the page in stripes of color. Tip: Only give them one color to paint with at a time, and limit each piece of paper to two to three colors to avoid everything mixing together and turning brown.
- Once paint is dry, draw or trace egg shapes onto paper and cut out.
- Cut 1 ½ inch wide strips of colored construction paper and form into rings, attaching together with tape.
- Stick eggs to rings.

Employees of the Probation and Parole office in Hannibal received an unexpected break from work Friday morning when the building was evacuated after a threat was made against the facility.
According to Hannibal police, at 9:54 a.m. Marion County 911 received a call stating there was a bomb in the building located at 2002 Warren Barrett Dr.
During a search of the building, approximately 25 people congregated at the edge of a parking lot west of the Community Supervision Center.
One member of the Probation and Parole staff called out to me from across Warren Barrett Drive, "You can come over, but I can't tell you anything."
A worker from a nearby towing business sat in the shade of a tree and observed the scene.
"I don't know what's going on," said a woman who lives nearby.
At least one passing motorist pulled in and inquired about what was transpiring.
According to police, a search of the building and grounds turned up no explosive devices. At 10:40 a.m. employees and visitors to the facility could be seen going back inside.
In a media release, Lt. John Zerbonia indicated that the incident remains under investigation.

OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) -- A bad day for Barry Zito still meant a
win -- and that's a testament to the talent of the Oakland Athletics.
Zito got his league-leading 22nd victory without being at his
best and Ray Durham hit a tiebreaking, three-run homer as the
Athletics moved into a tie for the AL West lead with Anaheim,
defeating the Angels 7-4 on Wednesday night.
"Our guys showed we're not going to go down easy,'' Zito said.
"I didn't have my best stuff but they came out and weren't worried
about being down 4-1.''
Eric Chavez and Jermaine Dye hit back-to-back homers to nearly
the same spot in center field off Mickey Callaway (1-1) in
Oakland's six-run fourth. Durham hit his shot to left-center off
reliever Dennis Cook later in the inning.
"It was big,'' Chavez said of winning for Zito. "We haven't
been able to pick up our pitchers very often. They've carried us
all year and it's nice to return the favor.''
Mark Ellis added a solo homer in the second and scored twice for
the A's, who lost 1-0 in 10 innings Tuesday.
The Angels had won seven of eight and 17 of 19. The teams play
Thursday afternoon in the finale of this four-game series.
"As much as they drive the ball in the middle of that lineup,
it's tough to set them up the way we did tonight,'' Angels manager
Mike Scioscia said.
Billy Koch pitched the ninth for his 40th save in 46
opportunities a night after giving up a game-winning homer to Tim
Salmon in the 10th.
Koch became the first pitcher in major league history with at
least 10 wins and 40 saves in the same season.
Zito (22-5) was tested in all but one of his 5 1/3 innings, one
start after pitching a near no-hitter. He faced five batters in the
first inning, four in the second, six in the third and seven in the
fourth before getting a 1-2-3 fifth.
Struggling with command of his fastball and changeup, Zito
allowed four runs and seven hits, striking out four and walking
The left-hander had combined on a two-hit shutout in his last
outing, a 5-0 win Friday over the Seattle Mariners in which he did
not give up a hit until the eighth.
Chad Bradford held the Angels scoreless and to two hits in 2 2/3
innings of relief.
"It's nice to give Zito a win when he wasn't really his best,''
manager Art Howe said. "We were right back in the game with two
swings of the bat. It took every little ingredient to get it done.
We needed zeros on the board from the 'pen. Chad had his best
outing for a while after a couple tough ones.''
Anaheim's Darin Erstad had four hits, an RBI and a run scored.
Benji Gil, filling in for regular second baseman Adam Kennedy, went
3-for-3 with two doubles, a run scored and an RBI. Kennedy came in
to pinch-hit in the eighth and stayed in the game.
Zito fell behind 1-0 in the first after allowing a leadoff walk
to David Eckstein, a single to Erstad and a sacrifice fly by
"Even on a day Zito probably wasn't as sharp as he usually is,
he's still pretty darn good,'' Erstad said.
The A's then saved a run in the second. With Scott Spiezio
aboard on a walk, Gil hit a double that rolled to the wall in
Dye, playing in right field, relayed to Ellis at second, whose
throw home was just in time for catcher Greg Myers to tag a sliding
Ellis tied the game at 1 with his homer in the second. The
Angels scored a single run in the third and two more in the fourth.
Callaway has not been effective against Oakland. He faced the
A's for the first time last Thursday, a 7-6 Oakland win in which he
left trailing 5-3. This time, he gave up five runs and four hits in
3 1/3 innings.
Game notes
The A's hit back-to-back home runs for the sixth time this
season. They last did it July 31 at Cleveland, also by Chavez and
Dye. With Durham's shot, it marked the third time this year the A's
have had three or more homers in an inning. They had four in the
third against Chicago on April 27 and three in the third May 29 vs.
Baltimore. ... Gil entered the game hitting .235 (4-for-17) against
Zito. ... The Angels bullpen came into the game having allowed only
five earned runs in its last 55 innings pitched, spanning 18 games.
... Zito is 8-3 in 12 starts vs. Anaheim. ... RHP Francisco
Rodriguez made his major league debut for Anaheim. ... Koch made
his 78th appearance of the year, tying Buddy Groom (1997) for the
franchise record for games pitched in a season.

Dried Apricot Jam
Total Time
Prep 1 hr
Cook 8 hrs
If you like dried apricots you will love this as a spread for sponge cake etc, or just as jam on bread or scones. I have only ever made this using slab dried apricots which are very dry. I'm not sure if this recipe would work using the moist Turkish dried apricots.
Ingredients Nutrition
- Soak apricots overnight.
- Next day, boil gently until tender.
- Add sugar and boil 1/2 hour or until set.
- Bottle and seal in clean jars.
Most Helpful
I attempted making this using a half recipe in my breadmaker which normally makes jam quite successfully. The jam just didn't want to set. There also seems to be more sugar in this recipe than in others and a quick taste test revealed that the jam is very sweet indeed. I'm going to have to recook this and probably add some pectin.

Natural gas vehicles an expensive, ineffective way to cut car and truck emissions – not a 'bridge fuel'
Increasing the use of natural gas in cars and trucks would be largely ineffective in reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and air pollution, a new independent study finds. There are no GHG savings in shifting from diesel cars and trucks to compressed or liquefied natural gas (LNG) cars and trucks, while petrol-hybrid, electric and hydrogen cars deliver much greater climate benefits, the study for sustainable transport group Transport & Environment says.
Šefčovič and Bulc talk the talk in hearings but now need to deliver on climate
In the two European Parliament hearings, which were clearly designed to avoid undue controversy, both Commissioners-designate Maroš Šefčovič and Violeta Bulc displayed a good grasp of their briefs but stayed clear of strong statements, let alone concrete commitments.
'Europe needs an e-mobility strategy to halt transport's oil addiction' - T&E urges Mr Sefcovic

Anchoring sustainability and the environment in the structure of the new European Commission
The Green 10, a coalition of the 10 leading environmental organisations active at EU level, wrote to Commission Vice-President designate Frans Timmermans expressing grave concerns over the proposed set-up for the new Commission. The letter notes that none of the vice presidents' mission letters mention sustainability as a key issue, and the mandate for the Environment Commissioner aims for a freeze and possibly rollback of environmental policies. The new Commission structure would also mean that for the first time in two decades the EU would not have a dedicated Environment Commissioner. There are also serious concerns over conflicts of interest resulting from the current assignment of some portfolios.The letter reiterates the Green 10's four proposals to rebalance this situation: establish a vice-president for sustainability; upgrade the Vice-President for Energy Union to 'Climate Action and Energy Union'; ensure the full-time environment portfolio is reinstated; and resolve the conflicts of interest.
If sustainability and the protection of our environment are everybody's responsibilities, why are they part of nobody's mission letter?
T&E's reaction to European Parliament's hearing of Commissioner-designate for Environment Mr Karmenu Vella. Today's two-hour grilling of Commissioner-designate for Environment Mr Karmenu Vella revealed how critically important 'Green 10' demands are for anchoring sustainability higher in the Commission's organisational chart. A first, important move will be to give one Vice-President the formal responsibility for sustainability, stressing the need for a VP to be held accountable for delivering sustainable development.

How to make transport policies healthier, wealthier and wiser
One of the frustrations of EU transport policy is the relentless focus on the internal market as the one-and-only justification for setting standards, introducing rules or spending money. It leaves us all short-changed. On the rare occasion that 'Brussels' tries to make suggestions for cities' or regions' transport policies to improve air quality, safety or health, the spectre of 'subsidiarity' spooks everyone and the idea vanishes.
10 things that went well for sustainable transport in 2013
Yes, this editorial has an unlikely title. If you have been following us, or the issues we work on, a little bit, the overwhelming impression is that things have been scaled back (emissions-trading aviation), postponed (the Fuel Quality Directive, possibly NOx from ship engines, truck CO2 emissions) and watered down (CO2 from cars, biofuels).

Circus rolls into Greenville
Published: Sunday, January 25, 2004 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Sunday, January 25, 2004 at 12:00 a.m.
The all new 134th edition of Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey" will come to the Bi-Lo Center Wednesday through Sunday, Feb. 1.
This edition is a place where "Tempting Fate Daily" isn't a tagline, it's a mandate.
"Each performer in this year's show is going one step beyond," says producer Kenneth Feld in a press release. "There's a new, contemporary feeling to the 134th Edition, and it starts with the influence of the new talents that happen to be women on the creative team: Nicole Feld, the first female co-producer in Ringling Bros. history, and Sylvia Hase, the first female director in the history of the Greatest Show On Earth"."
The show is one of extreme styles: Never-before-seen thrills appear alongside iconic circus moments; pastoral barnyard numbers give way to entrancing sway pole displays; clown gags are buffeted against dangerous daredevil acts; a far-reaching original score fills the arena with everything from country-and-western to hard rock numbers.
Underscoring the notion of a circus turned entirely on its head is an Act One parade finale with dancing on the ceiling.
"I've always been fascinated by magic, I've always wanted to do it," says international award-winning "Prince of Laughter" David Larible of the historic introduction of magical mayhem to the 134th Edition. "Traditionally, when comedy has been combined with magic, the performer misses or reveals the trick and makes it transparent, and that's where the joke is," Larible explains. "My idea is to do real magic and find the comedy in it before and after. But I still want the audience to say, `How did he do that? How did he make that disappear? How did he escape?'"
In Act One, Larible unveils three rings of illusions, including a disappearing act, a sawing-in-half routine and an escape-from-shackles.
Crazy Wilson will wrangle with the wire, wrestle the whirling wheel of wonder, and master Motorcycle Mania.
How does a man earn "crazy" as a professional moniker? Is it by tempting fate daily attempting never-before-seen feats of demented daredevilry?
"You need to make something nobody has ever made before," explains Wilson. "You need to create it and do it." Not content merely to walk across a quarter-inch silver thread hoisted 25 feet above arena floors, Wilson secures a trampoline to the center of the high wire. He then balances himself upon the shoulders of a cohort, jumps, bounces off the trampoline and lands on the other side of the wire.
Topping himself, Wilson performs running somersaults atop the 42-foot-long, two-feet-wide, gyroscopic pendulum of pandemonium. He also mans a motorbike during "Motorcycle Mania," in which man and machine are placed mere inches from mortal mayhem. While wife Margarita stands in the center of a 16-foot-tall steel sphere, Wilson leads a troupe of motorcyclists around the globe as its riding surface is slowly stripped away.
For the first time in over 20 years, the center ring is rife with all-male lions as Clyde, Rummel, Winston, Sasha, Chico, Edward, Prince, Pasha, Simba, Kenya, Tarzan and Ghana tango with animal presenter Jason Peters.
"It's like being a schoolteacher," says Peters of his relationship with these kings of the jungle.
Meanwhile, pachyderm professor Troy Metzler presents a panoply of prodigious performers playing together in perfect partnership. "
They're so smart, and each has her own distinct personality," Metzler says of his elephant friends.
Sylvia Zerbini dares to master alternating realms of land and air. Combining the physical strength of her aerial act with the special interspecies connection of her liberty act, Zerbini casts a spell -- soaring 40 feet above arena skies without a net as she orchestrates a stable of Arabian and Andalusian equines.
On the arena floor, one hour before show-time, guests are invited to become part of the Three Ring Adventure". Hosted by hip New York City clown Elliot Zimit, the adventure gives children of all ages the chance to meet artists, acrobats, aerialists and animals, try on circus costumes, dance in a three-ring conga line, join in a sing-along, learn circus skills like juggling and balancing and participate in clown gags.
Then Ringmaster Kevin Venardos will take to the arena floor, filling the arena with his powerful tenor voice as circus diva Danette Sheppard -- the first featured female vocalist in Ringling Bros. history -- performs with her soulful sound.
With more than 100 human and animal performers from every corner of the globe, a live band and an original score, full-blown production numbers, completely reimagined sets, costumes, props, and lighting design, the circus will draw in children of all ages.
Performances will be held at 7:30 p.m. Thursday; 10 a.m. and 7:30 p.m. Friday; 11:30 a.m., 3:30 and 7:30 p.m. Saturday and Sunday, Feb. 1.
Tickets range from $15 to $22 and are available by calling TicketMaster at 251-5505 or the box office at (864) 233-2525.
