War fever as seen from Iran
By Pepe Escobar
So Tehran is betting on the strategic achievement of a "reliable anti-West front consisting of Russia and China". His conclusion; "The strategic equation of the region as a result of the ongoing developments in Syria has by no means changed to the detriment of Iran."
In an interview to the Iranian Diplomacy (IRD) website [4] former ambassador and strategic analyst Mohammad Farhad Koleini comments on how "some Arab countries, which have very bleak records in the field of human rights, have joined hands with the United States in the current equation in Syria in order to define a new security game. This security game, however, has been so
mismanaged that it will certainly taint the international image of the United States."
Koleini notes that as the West goes for a new security arrangement in the Mediterranean, Moscow is trying "not to allow the West to impose its geopolitical monopoly." So the Russian approach to Syria "is not necessarily focused on what is actually going on inside the country, but it stems from a regional package and how Moscow aims to regulate that package in relation to its interactions with the West."
That explains why Russia "will never allow Western states to impose a no-fly zone region over Syria". Is this confrontation? Not really; "Russia is doing its best to avoid outright confrontation by any means. China has also shown all along the way that it is following the same policy."
Mehdi Sanaei, the director of the Russia Studies Group at the University of Tehran and the director of the Iran and Eurasia Research Center (IRAS), writing at the Tabnak News website[5] goes way deeper; Moscow is now working under "unprecedented suspicion of the United States' goals and intentions in the Middle East and Eurasia."
So forget about the famous "reset" between Washington and Moscow.
Sanaei refers to the famous foreign policy article [6] published by Putin on the eve of the Russian presidential election: "Putin took a direct shot at the United States by accusing Washington of deception and abuse of the UN structure and resolutions, applying double standards to various global issues in different countries, as well as seeking its own interests under the cover of advocating democracy."
Sanaei also correctly describes how Russian analysts see the Obama administration's foreign policy as "based on two theories: 'ultimate realism', and 'new liberalism.' As a result, the Americans actually believe that world countries are simply divided into the United States' friends and enemies. Hostile countries, therefore, should be weakened and their presence in global and regional strategic arenas should be limited and even suppressed in political, economic and cultural terms."
So, for Moscow, "a new wave of the world order has been initiated by the United States in order to create a new version of the past unipolar world system. The main targets of this wave, Moscow maintains, include North Africa, the Middle East, Iran, Eurasia, and finally China and Russia."
Koleini, this time writing for the Tehran Emrooz daily [7], introduces the Pipelineistan theme in the Iran-Russia relationship; "Despite its cooperation with Iran's nuclear energy program, Russia has been always willing to cut Iran's hand in the European natural gas market. Therefore, Russia has been interacting with Turkey and certain Eastern European countries on the Blue Stream project. This proves beyond any doubt that Russia is trying to take the lead in engineering security structure in Europe through its energy policy and reduce Europe's reliance on other energy sources."
All this while "trying to play a balancing role in Iran's nuclear case."
Koleini also outlines the main challenge to the "Eurasian policy" laid out by Putin before his election; "The point is that the West is designing new political games, especially in Central Asia to give new problems to Russia and divert Moscow's attention from Eurasia to traditional spheres of the former Soviet Union."
Egypt and Iran kiss and make up
Iranian intellectuals are carefully monitoring neighboring Turkey. Turkey and Caucasus expert Elyas Vahedi observes how "the Turkish government came up with such concepts as 'neither state religion, nor religious state,' 'secular government, not secular man,' 'civilizing the constitution,' 'democratic openness / Kurdish openness / Alawite openness,' and 'civil control and supervision over the army' and has been using them to strengthen and maintain the political clout of the Justice and Development Party."
And of course, before the Arab Spring, all talk was about "zero problems with our neighbors" and Turkey's "strategic depth" doctrine.
But now that Turkey is stuck in Syria, the AKP government is "trying to justify its failure by claiming that the policy of minimizing problems with neighboring countries has just entered is second phase ... Turkey believes that the main feature of the second version of this policy is interaction with people in neighboring countries rather than interaction with their governments."
It simply doesn't hold, says Vahedi: "This viewpoint, despite some shortcomings, was somehow justifiable in some countries like Libya, Egypt and Tunisia, but this is not the case in Syria." Besides, Ankara "remained silent toward the predicament of people in Bahrain, under the pretext that political protests in Bahrain are not popular."
Moreover, Turkey's foreign policy "has also nurtured speculations that Ankara has joined the Shi'ite-Sunni conflict which has been fostered by the West. The damage that this notion will do to Turkey's regional and international standing and prestige will be too costly for Ankara."
Vahedi sees Turkey, as well as Saudi Arabia and Qatar, as just following the West, which is leading from behind, Obama-style. Turkey "has apparently read the West's mind and is trying to accept that role on behalf of the West in return for certain concessions." But it won't work - as, for instance, facilitating Turkey's accession to the EU over immense French and German objections.
Not to mention that Ankara "is facing scathing criticism from nationalist figures. They allege that while the rights of Turks are being ignored in Karabakh as well as in the Balkans through the oversight of the Western powers, the government of Turkey has made defending the rights of the Syrian people its first and foremost priority."
Ali Akbar Asadi, from the International Relations Dept at the University of Allameh Tabatabaei, expands on the key event of the next few weeks: the renewed diplomatic relationship between Iran and Egypt - which is drawing Washington's unmitigated wrath; the State Department, in a childish move, is even saying that Iran "does not deserve" to host the summit of the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM) in Tehran, which will be attended by Egypt's President Mohamed Morsi. [8]
Asadi goes to the jugular - the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) petro-monarchies are terrified that "Egypt may renew relations with the Islamic Republic of Iran or even enter into strategic relations with Turkey, thus working to undermine the influence and clout of the GCC in the new balance of regional power."
So the GCC is doing what it usually does; showering a bit of cash. "They want to keep Egypt, as a big and important Arab political player, on their own side."
Besides, they are demanding from Morsi and the MB that "they do not take any step to export their revolution and activate affiliates" of the MB in the GCC. And they "expect Cairo to avoid adopting a new approach to strengthening Hamas against Fatah, helping Gaza and the Palestinian population there, and taking an adamant stance against the Israeli regime."
The GCC policy, supported by the West and Israel, is "to keep Egypt entangled in its domestic challenges" and thus unable to exercise its" historical claim to leadership of the Arab world."
This is just a sample of the level of intellectual discussion going on in Iran. Compared to the bombing hysteria in Tel Aviv and Washington, it does look like it's coming from Mars.

TRURO - Local schools under review for possible closure are moving ahead with the process and proceeding to public hearing.
© Raissa Tetanish - Truro Daily News
Roughly 50 people gathered in the cafeteria at Cobequid Educational Centre last night to hear the Chignecto-Central Regional School Board's decision as to whether or not five schools will continue in a review process that could lead to closure. All five schools are continuing in the process and will proceed to public hearings.
The decision was made during a special meeting of the Chignecto-Central Regional School Board last night to continue with the process for both Bass River and Maitland District elementary schools. Also up for review are East Pictou Middle School, River John Consolidated and Wentworth Elementary. The schools were identified on a list of about 16 schools last fall.
Although the schools are proceeding to a public hearing, it doesn't mean that closures are imminent.
"I do believe we will get extra information from the schools and the public from these hearings, which will be instrumental in the board making its decision," said board member Vivian Farrell of Pictou, who added schools are the hearts of their communities.
"We've tried to support these schools as much as we can and I want us to go to each school to get the feeling for what people have to say and see what their perspectives are."
As one of almost 50 people in the audience, Owen Roberts was both "disappointed and surprised" by the decision to move ahead with the review process for all five schools, but especially Maitland district.
"There were some negative points about tonight, especially the fact that the motions were put through very quickly, without any discussion," Roberts, a concerned community member, said. "But afterward there were some heartfelt words that I would agree with."
Sitting on the board, Truro's Susan MacQuarrie brought up her own experience with attending high school outside of her residential area.
"By the end of it, our bus ride was an hour and we didn't like it," she said, about her time attending school in Kennetcook. "I can't imagine a four- or five-year-old getting on the bus for an hour. I don't like it."
MacQuarrie said the board is being forced to make numerous cuts because funding for education has declined.
"It seems like the financial scenario is being held higher than doing what is best for the kids."
All five public hearings will be held in their respective communities before March 24. Members of the public will have a chance to voice their concerns either in person or in writing.

Highland Park will be among the latest towns in New Jersey to build vegetable and herb gardens at local schools, thanks to a $10,000 grant from Wal-Mart.
Gardening helps children learn about nutrition and the environment, said Tina Weishaus, a leader of Sustainable Highland Park, a borough task force. And in Highland Park, teachers will also use the gardens for educational purposes, such testing the soil for a biology class, or using math to construct the plant beds, Weishaus said.
"Students will see what's getting analyzed, then may get interested in biology of how things grow," said Weishaus. She said she had been inspired by a high school English teacher in Mullica Hill in South Jersey had her English students grow flowers mentioned in Shakespeare plays and sonnets to compliment their study of the author.
Produce grown in the Highland Park gardens could wind up in the borough's farmer's market, local soup kitchens such as Elijah's Promise in neighboring New Brunswick, or even into school cafeterias, said Karen Lewis, the district's deputy superintendent.
"We'll be talking to our food services people," Lewis said.
Last week, Weishaus and others from Sustainable Highland Park shopped for materials such as cedar to start building plant beds next month, she said. Seeds will be sown as early in January inside classrooms.
"We were just at Lowe's yesterday, pricing out all the materials," said Weishaus, on Wednesday. More than 15 teachers have signed up to help maintain the gardens, and the teachers will decide what type of seedlings will be sown, she said. Two gardens will be built at each of the borough's four schools, which span pre-Kindergarten to 12th Grade. Each garden will measure eight feet by two feet, Weishaus said.
Sustainable Highland Park is an offshoot of Sustainable Jersey, a statewide group founded in February that offers accreditation to municipalities that complete its required checklist of things towns can do to help the environment, such as enacting water conservation laws.
The statewide group partnered with Walmart to offer $200,000 in grants to local groups for "sustainable" projects. Besides Highland Park, 13 other municipalities won grants, which were announced in June. Of Highland Park's $10,000 grant, about half the sum will be reserved to pay stipends to students who maintain the gardens during the summer, Weishaus said.
Highland Park resident Lisanne Finston, who is also director of Elijah's Promise, hopes the fresh produce will end up on students' plates. Nationwide, she said, some school lunch menus feature unhealthy processed food with unfamiliar names.
"What is a riblet? -- is what I want to know," Finston said.

This afternoon, Pete Abraham offers a brief breakdown of tonight's matchup. He reminds us that Andy Pettitte had success in his one start against the Indians this season (7.1 innings, two earned) runs, while Fausto Carmona -- who admittedly got better as the season rolled along -- struggled against the Yanks (two starts, 13 total innings, 14 hits, six earned runs). If Andy can give anything near seven innings and two runs, the Yanks should be able to sneak out with a victory.
Meanwhile, Kat O'Brien considered Chien-Ming Wang's home-road splits, wondering if he really is the "ace" of the staff. This question, however, is mostly irrelevant, at least for right now. It will only matter if Joe Torre needs to decide whether to pitch Wang at home in Game 4 or, potentially, if there's a Game 5 in Cleveland. But let's just take it one game a time for now.
If you're a little down about how Game 1 went, cruise over to Jim Johnson's blog at MVN, which we're starting to enjoy more and more each day. Today he addresses Lebron James's Yankee fan-ness, and he's a little bit skeptical.

Metal Gear Solid HD Collection coming to PS Vita next month
Konami has confirmed that the will be releasing the PS Vita version of the Metal Gear Solid HD Collection next month.
The Vita version of the collection is slightly cut down from the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions as it only includes Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons Of Liberty and Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater.
Both games feature significant optimisations for the PS Vita taking advantage of the touch capabilities of the handheld to allow easier access to weapons and gear, interrogate enemies, perform quick knife attacks and even zoom in on cutscenes.
Those that have the PS3 and PS Vita versions of the MGS HD Collection will be able to move their save games between both platforms using the new Transfarring system.

Reaction to the Samsung Galaxy Note [Video]
At IFA 2011 this week, it looks like Samsung has stolen the show with their onslaught of Android devices. One of the more notable devices showcased was the Samsung Galaxy Note, a 5.3" tablet/smartphone hybrid powered by a 1.4GHz dual core processor and 1GB of RAM. The screen is impressive and the specs are sharp. But does it have a place in your current lineup of devices?
- Laptops were introduced to bridge the gap between desktops and phones.
- Tablets were introduced to bridge the gap between smartphones and laptops.
- The Note is introduced to bridge the "gap" between smartphones and tablets?
We can't forget the disappointing announcement that Samsung unfortunately has no plans to introduce the Note to the United States market.
Below is the official intro video from Samsung, followed by a reaction video from MKBHD:

Ground based S-band radar observations of Mercury show a group of features in the northern and southern polar regions with highly depolarized radar echoes. These features are coincident with the positions of known craters and thought to be water ice deposits on the permanently shadowed floors of the craters (Harmon, et al., 1994, Nature, 369, 213). A byproduct of the discovery of these small features is an improved determination of the direction of Mercury's rotation axis. Twenty-seven separate radar images taken from the Arecibo Observatory in the summers of 1991 and 1992 are in a correct viewing geometry to resolve the northern polar region. The direction of the rotation axis of Mercury has been determined to higher precision than possible from previous observations by minimizing the motion of these features relative to the latitude longitude coordinate system through perturbations of the axis direction. One source of error is the apparent motion of these features caused by changing crater floor illumination due to the different viewing geometries of the observations. This has been modeled and a correction has been applied to the results of the axis perturbation technique, resulting in a rotation axis direction of RA(1950) $281.7\deg\pm0.7\deg$ , Declination $61.6\deg\pm0.3\deg$.

That is a great movie and I would love to see it again. Hopefully more copies can be made on DVD for a reasonable cost. John KK9A To: email@example.com Subject: [TowerTalk] K2GL rotators, etc From: firstname.lastname@example.com Date: Tue, 01 Jan 2008 02:02:10 +0000 (GMT) List-post: mailto:firstname.lastname@example.com I have also received some inquires about the "To Win the World" movie and can comment: 1. I have contacted the producer and seems like something may be happen for 2008. Either simply more copies or (hopefully!) and updated version with some previously excluded out takes. The movie was professionally done and is narrated by Bill Leonard, W2SKE (SK). For those of you who don't know, Bill was VP at CBS News, a famous "announcer" on par with Walter Cronkite, and was the author of the famous Sports Illustrated article on contesting. 2. The movie recorded one of only three "losses" at N2AA at K2GL. In this one, we lost to W2PV (10.618M vs 10.399M...not that I remember such things). The year was 1981 and we actually lost both modes to the PV crew. The other loss was to N5AU, but I don't remember the year. Yes, that right, a "5" won M/M that year. de Doug KR2Q _______________________________________________ _______________________________________________ TowerTalk mailing list email@example.com http://lists.contesting.com/mailman/listinfo/towertalk

Results tagged ' Chase Headley '
1/17 Roundup
On a day when the Dodgers announced their seven-year, $215 million contract extension with ace left-hander Clayton Kershaw, numerous smaller deals were completed across the Major Leagues.
Friday was the deadline for teams to exchange salary figures with arbitration-eligible players, leading many to work out compromises, albeit none that carry the financial impact of Kershaw's. For those who didn't reach agreements, negotiations can continue until hearings take place from Feb. 1-21, at which point the decisions will be in the hands of three-judge arbitration panels.
Here is a look at some of Friday's big arbitration-related news:
- The Nationals signed five of their seven eligible players, including All-Star right-hander Jordan Zimmermann and shortstop Ian Desmond. Washington bought out the final two years of arbitration for both players, locking them up for $24 million and $17.5 million, respectively.
- Reigning American League Cy Young Award winner Max Scherzer agreed to a $15.525 million contract with the Tigers, who still have a lot of work to do if they want to prevent him from reaching free agency next offseason.
- Chris Davis headlined the Orioles' five signings, getting a raise of roughly $7 million in his second year of arbitration after leading the Majors in home runs and RBIs. Catcher Matt Wieters, also two years from free agency, has yet to reach a deal.
- Third baseman Chase Headley was among the players to settle with the Padres as he readies for his final season before free agency.
- While the Braves were able to sign four arbitration-eligible players, they will have to exchange figures with closer Craig Kimbrel, first baseman Freddie Freeman and outfielder Jason Heyward.
- The Marlins put a stop to all three of their arbitration cases, handing $6.5 million to slugger Giancarlo Stanton in the process. Stanton's salary will jump from $537,000 in his first year of arbitration.
- The Yankees also locked up all of their arbitration-eligible players, as outfielder Brett Gardner led the way with a $5.6 million settlement.
- Another club set to sit out the hearings is Toronto, which rewarded center fielder Colby Rasmus' strong 2013 with a $7 million deal in his final year of club control.
- Royals first baseman Eric Hosmer, who bounced back in a big way after going through a rough '12, settled on a $3.6 million contract in his first year of arbitration.
- Josh Reddick is the only A's player who remains unsigned after the club came to agreements with four more players on Friday, including offseason acquisitions Craig Gentry and Luke Gregerson.
- Pedro Alvarez and Neil Walker were among the players to come to terms with the Pirates, who closed all of their arbitration cases.
- A day after settling with ace lefty David Price, the Rays avoided arbitration with each of their six remaining players, including righty Jeremy Hellickson.
- The Reds have negotiating left to do with starter Homer Bailey and closer Aroldis Chapman and are hoping to ink Bailey to a long-term deal.

11/17 Roundup
When a team is looking to improve on one facet of its club, it helps when it has a surplus in another area. Read ahead in today's Hot Stove roundup to find out which club is in such a situation, and plenty of other news:
- Between Jurickson Profar, Elvis Andrus and Ian Kinsler, the Rangers have a wealth of infield depth. The Dallas Morning News' Evan Grant reports the Rangers could very well trade one of those players (with some top prospects also working their way into the picture) to fill other needs. "We have three guys at the major league level and two guys at Double-A [Rougned Odor and Luis Sardinas]; it would be irresponsible not to consider it," general manager Jon Daniels told Grant. "Will we ultimately make a deal? I really don't know. Teams are getting the lay of the land, see what's out there and make a decision."
- The Blue Jays are looking to add starting pitching talent. But would they be willing to part ways with Jose Bautista in order to get it? The Boston Globe's Nick Cafardo says it's a possibility.
- Cafardo also notes there's a "growing sentiment" that the Padres will deal third baseman Chase Headley this winter.
- It's no secret the Tigers need a closer, and Joe Nathan and Brian Wilson are two names that have been closely linked to Detroit. It was reported earlier this week that there has been mutual interest between the Tigers and Nathan, but Buster Olney tweeted that the Tigers may prefer Wilson because of salary.
- Right-hander Jeff Samardzija has the potential to be a building block for the Cubs moving forward, and David Kaplan is reporting that the Cubs have reached out to him about a contract extension. Samardzija, who will become a free agent after the 2015 season and turns 29 in January, had a 4.34 ERA last year and logged a career-high 213 2/3 innings.
- Because of the unique structure of Bryce Harper's contract and some unresolved issues, the Washington Post's Adam Kilgore reports, Harper and the Nationals could be looking at a grievance hearing next winter.

11/12 Late-night Roundup
The second day of the General Manager Meetings in Orlando got off to a quick start, as the Phillies and outfielder Marlon Byrd agreed a two-year, $16-million deal.
Byrd, 36, hit .291/.336/.518 last season with the Mets and Pirates and now returns to the organization where he played his first 3 1/2 seasons after being a 10th-round selection in the 1999 First-Year Player Draft.
While that was the day's only significant transaction, there was no shortage of other news, including a late-breaking rumor that has the Phillies making an even bigger splash.
NL East
- The Phillies are discussing a deal that would bring Blue Jays outfielder Jose Bautista to Philadelphia for a package including outfielder Domonic Brown, according to Howard Eskin of FOX 29 TV and WIP radio in Philadelphia.
- The subject of trade speculation only a year after the Nationals acquired him from the Twins, center fielder Denard Span is hoping to return to Washington.
- The Mets are looking for outfielders, with free agent Curtis Granderson representing one appealing option.
NL Central
- While rumors continue to swirl about the Cardinals executing a blockbuster deal for Rockies shortstop Troy Tulowitzki, our Jenifer Langosch plays down the likelihood of that scenario. St. Louis could choose to sign a free agent such as Stephen Drew or orchestrate a trade for a shortstop who wouldn't demand such a hefty return.
- Cubs general manager Jed Hoyer confirmed his club's interest in Japanese right-hander Masahiro Tanaka and acknowledged that other teams have asked about Chicago righty Jeff Samardzija.
NL West
- The Rockies offered free-agent catcher Carlos Ruiz a two-year deal worth about $15 million, according to The Denver Post's Troy Renck, but it seems that won't be enough to entice Ruiz to Colorado. Renck writes that the veteran backstop has a two-year, $20 million offer from another, unspecified club.
- The Padres could consider trading third baseman Chase Headley if they can't agree on a contract extension to keep him in San Diego beyond this season, CBS Sports' Jon Heyman writes.
AL East
The Yankees' David Robertson isn't a lock to inherit the ninth inning from the retired Mariano Rivera, with general manager Brian Cashman saying he will explore the free-agent and trade markets for relievers, including closers.
- The Yankees' reported interest in free-agent outfielder Carlos Beltran is legit, MLB.com's Bryan Hoch hears.
- The Blue Jays have some money to spend and could look to use it on a free agent starting pitcher.
- Fox Sports' Ken Rosenthal speculates that the Red Sox could be the frontrunners for Ruiz.
AL Central
- The White Sox are prepared to welcome back Paul Konerko for his 16th season with the club, but Konerko remains undecided about his future.
- The Indians have interest in free-agent closers Fernando Rodney and Brian Wilson, according to the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
- According to Heyman, the Twins are exploring a reunion with free-agent catcher A.J. Pierzynski, whom they took in the third round of the 1994 Draft. Pierzynski, however, figures to have several suitors, including the Phillies.
- Meanwhile, Minnesota may be closer to signing veteran right-hander Bronson Arroyo, according to the St. Paul Pioneer Press' Mike Berardi.
AL West
- Heyman reports that multiple teams are interested in Astros catcher Jason Castro, who hit .276/.350/.485 with 18 home runs last season. Our Brian McTaggart downplays the likelihood of a Castro trade, however.
- The Mariners would like to add free-agent outfielders Carlos Beltran and Nelson Cruz, tweets ESPN's Jerry Crasnick, who also reports that their interest in Jacoby Ellsbury is lower.

The last-place Padres, 11 1/2 games back in the National League West, don't appear to be buyers as the July 31 non-waiver Trade Deadline nears, general manager Josh Byrnes told UT-San Diego:
"I think the one thing our recent play has done is it doesn't make sense for us to go for a rental," Byrnes told the newspaper. "To say that we make a trade to bring in somebody who is on our team now and helping us but we also have beyond this year, we're certainly knocking on those doors."
Also, on Wednesday, Jon Heyman reported the Yankees inquired about Padres third baseman Chase Headley, but San Diego told the Yanks there wasn't a fit.
Heyman also speculates that the Twins will retain manager Ron Gardenhire after his contract runs out this year. Twins general manger Terry Ryan recently told MLB.com Gardy's job is not in jeopardy:
"There's no validity to it," Ryan said of a recent column in the Minneapolis Star Tribune speculating the ending of Gardenhire's tenure. "He and I are the leadership of this organization, and we take accountability. He is basically in the clubhouse and in the dugout, and I'm in charge of the whole operation, and we both are feeling like we're letting the people down. It's as simple as that."
In International news, one day after MLB.com reported Cuban right-hander Miguel Alfredo Gonzalez could sign with a club as early as next week, the El Nuevo Herald reported 24-year-old pitcher Misael Siverio has defected from Cuba.
"It is not easy leaving behind what is yours, but after a giving it a lot of thought I made this decision for my future and for my family," Silverio told the paper. "My dream, of course, is to make the Major Leagues, and starting today I will start doing what I need to do to accomplish that."

July 28 Late Night Roundup
- The A's will send right-handed reliever Fautino De Los Santos to the Brewers in exchange for catcher George Kottaras, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reported. Kottaras was designated for assignment on Thursday, but no trade has officially be announced.
- Zack Greinke is off the board, and the Braves might not be able to close a deal for Ryan Dempster either. That has led Atlanta to search elsewhere for starting pitching help while also taking a look at the market for relievers, reported our own Mark Bowman.
- The Cardinals are looking to upgrade their starting pitching, according to Scott Miller of CBSSports.com. Francisco Liriano was one option, but the White Sox nabbed him on Saturday night. That could lead St. Louis to focus more heavily on the Rays' James Shields, who is attracting interest from several clubs.
- The race for Padres third baseman Chase Headley is hotly contested but apparently no longer includes the A's, according to Jon Heyman of CBSSports.com.
- Teams looking for bullpen help are considering Rockies closer Rafael Betancourt, with the Orioles, Yankees and A's among the possibilities, reported Troy Renck of The Denver Post.
- Should the struggling Phillies decide to sell, Shane Victorino could be at the front of the line heading out of Philadelphia. Talks regarding the veteran center fielder are "getting warm," according to CSNPhilly.com's Jim Salisbury. Outfielders Juan Pierre and Hunter Pence and starting pitcher Joe Blanton also could be trade bait.
- The Red Sox's interest in Mariners lefty starter Jason Vargas is "mild," according to the Boston Globe's Nick Cafardo.

Padres 'focused on conversations that make sense for us' …
On Friday, Padres general manager Josh Byrnes huddled with several front office types — with professional scouts on a conference call as well — to 'compare notes' as Byrnes put it, as the team ramps up for what could be a busy time leading up to the July 31 trade deadline.
Or, of course, it could be pretty quiet as well.
"I don't think we'll be quiet as busy as everyone thinks," Byrnes said.
That said, the Padres hold what might be one of the more interesting trade pieces in third baseman Chase Headley, a player they won't part with unless the return haul is satisfactory — and, by all accounts, pretty steep.
Most of the conversations Byrnes has had to date involves Headley.
"For the last several weeks, we've been pretty busy spending time on it," Byrnes said. "… But at the same time, we're focused on the four or five conversations with clubs that makes the most sense for us."
The Padres have taken outfielder Carlos Quentin off the trade market by signing him to an extension. There seems to be momentum that the team will do the same with closer Huston Street.
If the Padres don't deal Headley, they could part with reliever Luke Gregerson in a deal. If they don't, then it could end up being a quiet weekend as Byrnes predicted.

Padres extend Quentin, could do same for Street
So go ahead and scratch outfielder Carlos Quentin off your list of viable/available options that could be had before the July 31 trade deadline.
The Padres on Sunday gave Quentin a three-year extension worth $27 million that will keep him in his native San Diego through the 2015 and possibly through 2016 (mutual option).
There seems to be momentum internally that the Padres could do the same with closer Huston Street, the Padres lone All-Star representative, giving him a contract extension as well as the team looks toward 2013 and beyond.
It's worth noting that majority owner John Moores and the new ownership group (O'Malley family, though nothing has been officially announced) signed off on the Quentin deal. Could they do the same for Street?
General manager Josh Byrnes continues to field calls about players, no more so than third baseman Chase Headley, who is about as coveted a player as you'll find this month. If the Padres aren't blown away from a haul of players, they'll likely retain Headley, who is under team control through 2015.
Is any of this surprising, that the Padres haven't sold off any significant pieces? Not at all, as Byrnes said earlier this month that the team didn't need to trade anyone.
The Padres, who have made noise in the past at or near the trade deadline — see Jake Peavy, Heath Bell — might just stand pat this month.
— Corey Brock
July 18 Late Night Roundup
- USA Today's Bob Nightengale provided the splashiest rumor of the day, reporting that the Marlins had informed the Red Sox of their willingness to deal third baseman Hanley Ramirez and closer Heath Bell, in exchange for left fielder Carl Crawford and a prospect. But ESPN's Buster Olney later shot down that idea, tweeting that the proposal "immediately died."
- According to our own Joe Frisaro, the Marlins are more likely to explore trading Ramirez during the offseason. Miami, scuffling below the .500 mark, still could look to move the likes of starting pitchers Anibal Sanchez and Josh Johnson or infielder Omar Infante below July 31.
- Three different scenarios remain in play for Brewers ace Zack Greinke, Jon Morosi and Ken Rosenthal reported at FOXSports.com. The 28-year-old could walk away as a free agent after the season. He could sign a long-term contract to remain in Milwaukee, although the report stated there is "no evidence," that a formal offer has been made. Greinke also could be traded before the deadline, although he will start only twice more before then, following an extended break.
- Greinke, along with the Phillies' Cole Hamels, is a prime deadline target for the Rangers, according to Danny Knobler of CBSSports.com. Texas also could consider bringing back Philadelphia's Cliff Lee.
- Several teams have looked into acquiring third baseman Chase Headley or outfielder Carlos Quentin from the Padres, but San Diego's asking price for both has been "exorbitant," reported CBSSports.com's Scott Miller. The club also might attempt to re-sign Quentin this winter.
— Andrew Simon
Bell headed to Marlins … who closes for the Padres?
The Padres finally got the clarity to the Heath Bell situation that they needed/wanted late Thursday, when reports came out that Bell had agreed to a three-year, $27 million deal with the Marlins.
Bell had until Dec. 7 to accept or decline the Padres arbitration offer (or, of course, sign elsewhere). That he has done so (though not officially) before the Winter Meetings could help the Padres in their pursuit of …
You guessed it, a closer. Not just a closer to replace Bell, but the Padres would love to find an eighth-inning specialist to set-up their to-be-named closer.
Look for the Padres to acquire relief help instead of spending big in free agency. They don't want to — and with a projected payroll of around $53-55 million — get stuck with a long, hefty contract.
The Padres were linked to A's closer Andrew Bailey on Friday, though the A's want offense in return. The Padres don't have much to move, unless they part with third baseman Chase Headley and/or outfielder Kyle Blanks, who could be moved in the right deal.
Stayed tuned, things could get interesting.

But have you taken a moment to look at your makeup bag?
Go ahead, dump it all out.
If you're feeling like a pack rat or a hoarder, you're not alone.
Many women admit that they have drawers full of cosmetics that they just can't seem to part with. But beauty gurus and doctors say cleaning clearing out our makeup bags should be at the top of our lists when it comes to spring cleaning.
Makeup can be a breeding ground for bacteria and other problems, according to Lynne Cary, makeup artist and owner of The Hideaway in Fairhope.
"Old, contaminated cosmetics can lead to some serious skin issues," Cary said.
While most women don't take notice, cosmetics are usually labeled with an expiration date of the expiration.
"And if you love a particular product, you should have used it all long before it expires," Cary said. "If you have had a lipstick for more than six months, you're probably not enjoying it that much, anyway."
Cary said that she keeps her personal beauty routine organized by using small glass containers that are labeled.
"I have one for eye pencils, one for sponges, one for brushes, etc. This way I know exactly what I'm reaching for every time."
Getting organized will allow you to see your product at all times and notice instantly when a brush, sponge or other utensil needs to be discarded.The life of a particular cosmetic will depend on the type of product, Cary said.
"Most foundations and powders will last longer than other products because they are formulated with ingredients to stabilize them. But I tell most women that their skin color often changes from season to season. This usually require a shade adjustment."
When it comes to cosmetic tools like brushes and sponges, women need to be particularly careful about hygiene. Sponges are bacteria breeders, of bacteria according to Cary.
"I never recommend that women wash a sponge and reuse it. They are just not that durable. But I do recommend purchasing good brushes that can be washed frequently."
Cary suggests purchasing a barbicide, a disinfectant solution, from your local beauty supply to keep utensils clean.
"The barbicide will add to the life of your brushes and kill any germs. If you share a brush with someone else, I would definitely clean it immediately."
Speaking of sharing beauty products with others, Cary said it's just not a good idea.
"Lots of infections are passed on by sharing lip gloss, mascara and eyeliners."
Once you've sorted your makeup collection and thrown out last year's trendy colors, clumpy mascara and products that are way too old, Cary suggests creating a small "emergency bag" for your purse.
"This is your lifesaver when you need a touch-up during the day or if you're going out after work. I usually carry a lipstick, gloss, lip liner, powder and blush. Keep this little rescue bag just for your purse and you're never caught off guard."
If she had to recommend one thing that every girl should add to her cosmetic bag this summer, the make-up artist adamantly suggests "clear gloss."
"It's a must-have. You can add it to your favorite lipstick for special occasions, or wear it alone on the beach. You can't live without it."

TUSCALOOSA, Alabama -- Two men seriously hurt in a drive-by shooting Sunday are refusing to cooperate with law enforcement officers investigating the crime.
Sgt. Dale Phillips, the commander of the Tuscaloosa County Metro Homicide Unit, said investigators were called to a residential area of west central Tuscaloosa around 4 p.m. after receiving reports of a shooting there.
Witnesses told the homicide unit that two men, one 20-year-old and a 21-year-old, had been inside a vehicle at the intersection of 25th Street and T.Y. Rogers Jr. Avenue when a dark SUV pulled up beside them.
Phillips said the occupants of the SUV began shooting into the victims' vehicle, and hit the 20-year-old three times in the left arm. The older man was shot twice, once in the side and once in the back. Phillips said the shooting may paralyze him.
The case is still under investigation, but Phillips said it is complicated by the victims, who refuse to cooperate with police.

The St. Bernard Parish Council meeting previously scheduled for 7 p.m. Tuesday instead will be held at 7 p.m. Dec. 14. That's the Friday after this Saturday's election.
The Parish Council last week pushed the council meeting back until after the Saturday election so that it could learn the outcome of the fire millage ballot proposal that is expected to have major economic repercussions on parish government services. Parish President Dave Peralta has insisted that his administration will cut 79 firefighters if the 20 mills are not approved.
That millage is expected to bring in about $6 million year, on top of about $2.5 million generated from a nearly 8-mill tax already in place for the fire department. If it doesn't pass, the proposed 2013 budget states that the parish government would drop its contribution to the fire department from about $5.3 million to about $1 million next year.
In addition to the 79 firefighter layoffs, the proposed 2013 budget anticipates having to lay off an additional 70 government employees. The fire millage's passage would allow the parish to use at least that $1 million in anticipated sales tax revenue -- otherwise scheduled to go to the fire department -- to protect some of those other government employee positions.
According to parish charter, the Parish Council must pass the 2013 budget at its first regular meeting in December. So wanting to factor in whether there will or will not be a 20-mill tax, the council pushed back that first regular meeting.
The Parish Council also pushed back the second regular council meeting by 10 days. That meeting, previously scheduled for 3 p.m. Dec. 18, now is scheduled for 3 p.m. Friday, Dec. 28.

Ney Discusses Role in Abramoff Scandal
Stability and civility are gone in Congress, while international and domestic problems which demand answers remain unsolved according to former congressman Bob Ney.
Ney addressed a large crowd Wednesday at St. John Central High School as part of the school's Eagle Legacy Lecture Series.
The former Ohio congressman directly addressed his involvement in the Jack Abramoff lobbying scandal, including his own jail time and resignation as a result.
A lot of the issues with congressional lobbies which led to the scandal have only gotten worse in the years since, Ney said.
Speaking about the recent removal of a travel disclosure requirement from the annual disclosure form submitted by lawmakers, Ney said much of what he and Abramoff were convicted of has now been codified and made legal.
"Instead of full disclosure, they actually made it less transparent," Ney said.
"They've made it worse. Anything that Jack Abramoff and I ever did has been completely made legal by the U.S. Congress and put on steroids."
He added the removal was also done in such a manner that it can easily be undone, further demonstrating an unstable political system. He said about 1,900 privately-funded trips were taken last year, showing that some things don't change.
Speaking on education, Ney said the Catholic school system remains a boon in American education and cautioned administrators regarding the use of educational vouchers which can bring U.S. government influence into the system.
Conflicts between President Barack Obama and House Speaker John Bohner, R-Ohio, were another point of instability Ney addressed Wednesday.
"We've come down to a government where one branch is going to sue the other over something instead of working together," Ney said.
"A lot of main issues that should come to the surface will sit. There's no focus in America right now on jobs. Our jobs have just floated out the window. And no one's talking about balancing the budget. It's all squabbling in Washington," he said.
Globally, Ney said one of America's biggest weaknesses is a tendency to impose its will on other countries and refuse to compromise for the sake of peace.
"We need to understand we can't always make a threat," Ney said.
"We're going to have to work with some partners who we don't like. Now we sit in a position that we don't know what we are going to do. This is one of probably our most precarious times in American history," he said.
Ney's lecture on Wednesday was sponsored by the St. John Central History Club, under the supervision of teacher Michael Loccisano, as a fundraiser to bring the community in to meet and listen to Ney and to help pay for the club's first long-distance trip to Boston. Copies of Ney's book "Sideswiped: Lessons Learned Courtesy of the Hit Men of Capitol Hill," were sold throughout the evening with all proceeds going to the club.

Strawberry Frozen Yogurt Recipe (with Greek Yogurt)
On Friday I treated you to a luscious strawberry sorbet spiked with lemon and sparkling wine. Today, another frozen treat but one with a little more body to it – a strawberry frozen yogurt recipe. With Greek yogurt. And fresh strawberries. Again! Man, I'm just spoiling you folks left and right. But that's okay, you deserve it.
I thought I'd take this opportunity to show you yet another gorgeous shot of Louisiana strawberries. They were just so pretty when I bought them. I had to take a ton of beauty shots to share with you. And best of all, not only were they beautiful, they were also juicy and very sweet. Truly, a perfect batch of berries.
Back to our current project… Frozen yogurt is definitely all the rage these days. And it has been for quite a while. But now that Greek yogurt is the hot new kid on the block, it's now time to combine the two for an extra special treat. Strawberries and Greek yogurt are a favorite treat of mine. I could eat it for daaaaays on end. Add a little honey, and I'm so set.
Let's also discuss upfront that this recipe is not low fat. It's not even "healthy" by some standards. But it is full of full-fat milk products which are very satisfying and packed with protein. So that's a bonus. I know a lot of people are way into low fat or no fat dairy products. I am the complete opposite. I prefer to get my fat from sources like dairy. It helps me to feel fuller longer and the fat that those dairy products provide is a healthy fat. Good for the brain, good for the body.
Please take special note that you will need to use a full-fat Greek yogurt for this recipe. This recipe needs the fat that the yogurt provides to act as a softener. After about a day in the freezer, this frozen yogurt will get very hard regardless. That's just a problem with homemade frozen yogurts. I even added in some heavy cream, and it still got pretty hard. It's really best to eat this recipe the day you make it (after it stiffens up a bit initially). Otherwise, you will need to let it sit out and defrost for a few minutes before scooping. Rest assured, this recipe is delicious and has a great mouth feel/texture. Especially right after it's hardened. This is a good recipe for a group or party, for sure. The tang from the Greek yogurt compliments the fresh bright strawberries very well.
I was really happy with the way this recipe came out, for sure. Creating and testing this recipe was really the first time I'd made frozen yogurt before. One place I used it very often was in breakfast smoothies. It paired very well with fresh apples, strawberries, plums, and a little fruit juice. It provides a nice creamy base for a smoothie. I'm considering developing smoothie recipes that use this frozen yogurt as a base. I may even try to modify the recipe to use agave nectar instead of sugar. We'll see!!
Let's get those ice cream makers chilled and ready to roll – on to the recipe!
Strawberry Frozen Yogurt Recipe (with Greek Yogurt)
This frozen yogurt recipe features fresh juicy strawberries and creamy Greek yogurt. It's easy to make and tastes fantastic!
- 4 cups strawberries, hulled and quartered
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon water
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1-24 ounce container full fat Greek yogurt
- 1 cup heavy cream
- Optional garnish - Halved strawberries
- The day before you want to start this recipe or very early the morning of: place your ice cream maker mixing bowl in the freezer. These typically need to freeze at least 8 hours before they can be used.
- Combine strawberries, sugar and water in a saucepan, and simmer for 5 to 7 minutes until strawberries are softened and have exuded quite a bit of juice.
- Remove from heat and transfer to a metal bowl. Add the lemon juice and then puree the mixture with an immersion blender. Allow to cool to room temperature - this could take about an hour if done outside the refrigerator.
- Once cooled, gently whisk the Greek yogurt and heavy cream into the strawberry mixture. Whisk well until combine and all yogurt lumps are gone.
- Add the yogurt base to an ice cream maker. Spin for 30 minutes until very thick.
- Transfer to an air tight, freezable container. Set in the freezer for 4 hours for mixture to solidify.
- Best eaten the day it is made. It will keep longer in the freezer - up to a week - but will need time to soften before scooping.
Steps 1-3 can be done the day before you plan to serve this. Strawberry mixture can be stored in the refrigerator until ready to use.
Prep:20 minutes
Total:5 hours, 30 minutes

Full-fat dairy also helps you absorb the vitamins and minerals in food, so it's actually far better for you (and far less processed than low-fat and non-fat dairy). This recipe looks incredible! Is there a way you'd recommend making this without using an ice cream mixer attachment or an ice cream maker? I would love to get the attachment for my KitchenAid, but I'm wondering if this is possible in a food processor and then freezing it or something.
This recipe looks amazing yet so simple, i'm Definitely going to give it a go. I was hoping to link to this page as i'm writing a page on ice cream makers for dieters for my site, then i saw the cup of heavy cream in the recipe, and thought maybe not (although I'm still going to give it a go).
Good advice about the ice cream maker, i was just wondering if you could tell us which one you have, and if you think it's a good machine?
Oh my goodness, Girl! You have been busy—-and a wonderful busy too. I am on to the mojito next. But I gotta comment on the frozen yogurt. Sooooooooo
creamy. Just like its suppose to be. Of course who doesn't love the little girl pink of strawberry ice cream—and in this case yogurt. Why am I reading this when I haven't eaten dinner? I should be kind to myself and eat some strawberries.

|email@example.com (Jim Idelson)
|Fri Aug 1 10:51:48 2003
Hi everybody, I pulled a couple of small cables through my 100 foot 3" conduit that goes from the house to the tower. This time it was extremely difficult. I can't even pull the cable another inch. I'm lucky that it's just sticking out the other end. Seems like the pull rope is twisted around some of the cables; and getting worse every time I pull something else through. What's the best way to deal with this? A. Start using cable pull lubricant and don't wory about it? B. Fish a new pull rope through the conduit? If this is the right answer, what's the right way to do it? This sounds like the proper thing to do, if I can figure out how. 73!

Reviews for Cake Doughnuts
"As a reviewer stated below, the dough was too soft to roll out. I would suggest refrigerating it for about 20 to 30 minutes to allow the gluten to relax and the fat (melted butter) to firm up a bit, then proceed as directed. This should help! Looking forward to trying this recipe!"
"The dough was too soft to roll out, more like a thick cake batter so I just used a cookie scoop and made doughnut holes instead. It worked pretty good. These are really moist donuts with a good flavor. They're yummy and I will be making them again."
"we are making the donuts as I type, I recommend that you split the dough up and only make what you can. You'll make the rest the next day. They are so good and you don't need toppings. Though if you must,and need a little sugar on it. cinnamon and sugar is just fine."
"They were tasty . But they didn't stay fresh tasting very long."

A-Rod's response: Tweet was "pure excitement"
Alex Rodriguez has responded to the newest installment of controversy in his ongoing saga with the Yankees, sending the following statement through a publicist on Wednesday morning:
"I will continue to work hard until my efforts get me back in pinstripes and help my team win. The tweet was pure excitement about Dr. Kelly's prognosis."
In case you missed it, here's the story from last night, where A-Rod tweeted that Dr. Bryan Kelly had given him "the best news – the green light to play again!"
Yankees general manager Brian Cashman responded by telling ESPN New York, "You know what, when the Yankees want to announce something, [we will]. Alex should just shut … up. That's it. I'm going to call Alex now."
Now here's my quick personal take on the situation —
It took A-Rod all of nine tweets to create a problem, which is amusing by itself, but looking back at the text of the tweet — I just don't see all that much to be upset about. Several Yankees have been tweeting injury updates all season, including Curtis Granderson, Mark Teixeira and Francisco Cervelli. No one seems to mind those, and they're actually quite helpful at times. I wish we could get Derek Jeter on Twitter for that reason.
So why did Cashman have a problem with this? For one thing, there is a chain of command. Dr. Kelly performed Rodriguez's hip surgery, but he doesn't have the final say in when Rodriguez gets back on the field. That belongs to the Yankees' medical staff, and so while Kelly's opinion certainly should be heard, that final call belongs to team physician Dr. Chris Ahmad. I have no doubt that A-Rod is close to getting into games, but as Cashman said on Monday, "the tail does not wag the dog."
Cashman has not yet talked about this latest situation, but here's a guess. Cashman was irked when a source close to A-Rod told the New York Daily News on Monday that Rodriguez would be playing in games by July 1. Cashman not only told MLB.com that was inaccurate, but a good chunk of his day was spent delivering the same denial to every other media outlet in the New York area.
Fast-forward one day and now the player himself (or someone using his account) is tweeting out information that clashes with the message that Cashman, Joe Girardi and the rest of the Yankees' hierarchy are putting out. That's surely part of this, and it was a bit of good timing by ESPN's Andrew Marchand to catch Cashman's reaction.
The other, and more obvious point, is this: with his massive salary, Major League Baseball's investigation into the Biogenesis situation, past antics on and off the field (including, most recently, his dugout chats with female fans in the ALCS) — it all piles into what can only be described as a strained, anxious relationship between A-Rod and the Yankees. This isn't new, but maybe it was easy to forget about while A-Rod was away all year. So we'd all better get ready: the circus is just about back in town.

* Erica M. Blackwell, 19, of Cohansey Street, was arrested Tuesday on the charges of false reports to law enforcement and conspiracy to commit theft. She was released on her own recognizance.
Blackwell had reported a 60-inch TV and a surround-sound speaker system she had rented from Rent-A-Center stolen from her home on Oct. 29.
Police later learned the TV and speaker system were not stolen, but rather were moved to a nearby home, where they were recovered and later returned to Rent-A-Center.
Also charged Tuesday in connection with the crime was Latif D. Gault, 26, of Fairfield Township.
Gault, who was already lodged in Cumberland County Jail on more than a half-dozen warrants, was charged with theft and conspiracy to commit theft. His bail was increased by $5,000 with the two new charges, police said.
* Jose Hernandez Francisco, 22, of Buckshutem Road, was arrested Tuesday morning on the charges of simple assault and criminal mischief. He was released on his own recognizance.
The charges stem from an alleged incident of domestic violence.
* Isiah D. Gillis, 18, of Burlington Manor, was arrested Tuesday morning on the charge of terroristic threats, accused of threatening a Bridgeton High School student who had accused someone police described as an acquaintance of Gillis of grabbing her breast and buttocks. He was lodged in the county jail on $5,000 bail.
* Megan M. Exel, 25, of Centerton Road, and Joseph W. Radcliffe, 36, of Cocelli Drive, were arrested at Radcliffe's home Monday night on the charge of simple assault. Exel also was charged with criminal mischief.
Both Exel and Radcliffe were released on their own recognizance.
* Derrick W. Byrd, 31, of Vineland, was arrested Monday evening on a failure to appear warrant and lodged in the county jail on $5,000 bail.
* A Rogers Avenue resident reported Monday afternoon that someone broke into his home sometime between 6:00 and 8 p.m. Sunday and stole a jar of pennies, a jar of quarters and a gold necklace.
The victim told police he arrived home to find someone had thrown a brick through the bathroom window. He did not discover the jars, which contained roughly $35 in pennies and $250 in quarters, missing until Monday afternoon.
Damage to the window is estimated at $150.
* Rodney K. Williams, 19, of Buckshutem Road, was arrested Monday afternoon on the charges of harassment and contempt, accused of violating a restraining order by attempting to contact the complainant through a third party. He was lodged in the county jail on $5,000 bail.
* Tyshena N. Mason, 24, of Morris Avenue, was arrested Monday afternoon on a failure to appear warrant, which called for $600 bail, but was released on her own recognizance.

Knoxville Curriculum
In the Spring of 2011, Knoxville CUSD #202 engaged in a district-wide review of the district curriculum. The first step in this process was identifying and aligning the district curriculum with the Illinois Learning Standards and Common Core Standards. As the review progressed, the district committed to focusing on aligning the curriculum with the Common Core Standards as they represent the future of what students will be expected to know and do.
After the curriculum alignment was completed, content area groups began working with the curriculum in more depth. Because this process is more complicated, these in-depth reviews take longer periods of time to complete. As they are completed, information will be posted here for district staff to access, as well as parents, community members, and prospective residents.
The Content Area Reviews will occur on a four year rotation using the following schedule (the year in parentheses indicates the initial year the two content areas underwent the review process):
Year 1: Math & PE/Health/Driver's Education (2011-2012)
Year 2: English/Language Arts & Foreign Language (2012-2013)
Year 3: Science & Career/Technical Education (2013-2014)
Year 4: Social Studies & Fine Arts (2014-2015)

Police: Wrong-Way Driver Killed In Central Indiana Crash
By Rachel Agler
BROWNSBURG, Ind. (AP) - Police say a sport-utility vehicle going the wrong way on Interstate 74 crashed into a semitrailer, killing the SUV's driver and tying up the highway for hours.
The crash happened about 8:15 a.m. Wednesday near the I-74 interchange with Ronald Reagan Parkway near the western Indianapolis suburb of Brownsburg.
Hendricks County sheriff's Lt. Jim Yetter says the 59-year-old woman driving the SUV was going the wrong way in the westbound lanes when it hit the rear axle of one semi, went airborne and struck another semi head on.
The driver was pronounced dead at the scene, although her name was not immediately released.
The highway's two westbound lanes were closed as the crash scene
was being cleaned up, but traffic was using the road's shoulder.

Searching For The Significance Of Your Soul
Everything is paid for, nothing is free. Beware the dream that costs too much.
Hope resides within us all for a greater life, a richer existence, but sometimes the road to that dream is paved with broken glass, and the goal you find is empty, a shrouded thing, shimmering within your grasp, yet hollow and worthless.
I fear such a thing.
The grass is always greener on the other side because the gardener is full of shit. He will hold up dung and tell you it is gold, touting its glory for all who will hear, trapping any who dare dream of living in his garden.
But true gold exists, I know it, I've seen it. It hides not in the ground, nor in a fat man's wallet, but in the eyes of the one who grasps it true. That is the goal, the existence we all crave, though some know not. The paths to this quest vary greatly, but the goal is the same. It is purpose, it is fulfillment, it is worth.
Some already have it, walking through life unknowing of what they possess. They appear charmed in all they do, but it's an illusion. The true source of their wealth resides in their soul, a certain completeness within them they bear like a talisman. Watch them, envy them, and believe what they have is out of reach.
Or maybe not….
Happiness is within reach for all who truly seek it, though most don't know how. They reside within chasms of loss, hiding behind walls of trepidation, desperate for another to show them the route which they alone can find.
You must seek it with all your soul. Hunting, like a predator in the darkness, for that first tiny flicker of the wealth you so covet.
It could be something so simple as a flower, the only one of its kind, that will mean nothing to any other living thing for all eternity, but means everything to you, because it's yours. Or it might be so vast as world domination, in all its shapes and forms, that eludes you, and it is only at its loss that you realize you held it all along.
I hold no answers. There is no simple solution or else this world would be a paradise and not a bucket of fools all clamoring about unfairness, crying to whatever deity they worship to make their lives right.
Save your breath; help yourself.
The treasure you yearn can only come from struggling through the mire of odds to a glorious horizon. There is no easy route, and to think so is to set yourself upon a course doomed to failure. Prepare for all hardships and your way will run strong, and if by chance you arrive sooner than you thought, smile. You've found your way home.

All Dancing and i must say Very Exciting company: E-CigStar selling Electronic Cigarettes via www.e-cigstar.com Shipping out of UK and with free shipping in the UK. The Starter kit we sell is designed for two people really and so could prove a viable buy for one and likewise the disposable electronic cigarettes are buy one get one free at the moment. So a quick overview of what e-Cigarettes are all about! One can read all about it on the websites of course www.e-cigstar.com and www.buy-electroniccigarette.co.uk but in summary if you want to cut down switch to a healthier lifestyle or plan to quit then these alternative tools can definitely help you. What they do is let you inhale a nicotine flavoured water vapour via an atomising process. The E-Cigarette contains three main parts battery cartridge and atomiser and when triggered release the vapour which looks exactly like smoke. So the smoker or perhaps now new "E-Smoker" can puff away and get the nicotine fix required and not the other thousands of nasty chemicals! Good news and so no more irritable smokers and no more smelly clothes and start to get rid of the tar lining your lungs! So do yourself a favour and some one else of course and get an E-CigStar product now and give me a few reddies as opposed to someone else 🙂

One of the keys to sustaining a winning football franchise is the ability to build a team through the draft. This is actually true in all sports, but in today's NFL, being able to draft well, develop those players and retain their services is the difference between the elite franchises and the average ones.
The Dallas Cowboys usually make for quality media fodder and good theatre, but when it comes to the draft, the level of discussion usually hits epic levels. Everything from Jerry Jones' abilities, his decision-making and his desire to prove he knows more than everybody else seem to be the butt of every joke.
But in recent years, the Cowboys have started to reverse their well-documented draft trends with the selections of Dez Bryant, Sean Lee, Bruce Carter, Tyron Smith and DeMarco Murray. Add Dwayne Harris to the mix and now we have the formation of a young nucleus.
Fresh off the 2013 draft, the Cowboys will once again be looking for long-term building blocks with such players as Travis Frederick, Gavin Escobar and Terrance Williams.
The Cowboys will also be looking for immediate contributions and the expectations will be nothing short of that. But what about the 2012 draft and the impact those players have had on this team?
It's too early in the process to label this draft class, but it's never too early to assess the results.
Let's start by figuring out who needs to step things up in 2013.
