Verizon Communications' first-quarter report received glowing reviews today as the telecom delivered a profit that -- excluding one-time items -- beat Wall Street forecasts by 4 cents a share. Verizon Wireless totaled 86.6 million customers, of which 13.2 million belonged to recently acquired Alltel, although average revenue per user slid a bit to $50.74. The telecom's wireless unit, which now ranks as the largest in the U.S., accounted for 57% of the company's total revenue.

|Meeting Description:
|The aim of the conference is to provide participants with an opportunity for critical discussion on the different models and approaches to linguistic research developed within the usage-based perspective. This is a cross-cutting theme in relation to various subdisciplines of language sciences (experimental phonology, variational sociolinguistics, corpus linguistics, cognitive linguistics, historical linguistics) and to the different levels of language (phonetics and phonology, morphology, syntax, and semantics).
The conference seeks to identify the essential elements of the usage-based paradigm, which anchor the analysis to actual language use and its relation to an 'abstract' system, such as:
- The physical nature of language as acoustic signal, articulatory gesture and multi-sensorial percept
- Repetition frequency and memory storage of language use experiences
- Production of highly conventionalized or prefabricated sequences as opposed to traditional language units (phonemes, morphemes, clauses), which can be accessed directly
Shifting the focus of linguistic observation to these elements makes it possible to consider language within more general cognitive processes such as categorization, chunking, storage, analogy, and cross-modal associations. Moreover, this change of perspective requires a new reflection on how linguistic categories are represented cognitively, how they emerge, and whether structures and variability may be explained through a single adaptive mechanism.
Invited Speakers:
- Harald Baayen: Naive discrimination learning and Exemplar Theory
- Marco Baroni: Learning meaning representations from naturally occurring text and images
- Sonia Cristofaro: Usage-based models in typology: traditional assumptions and prospects for future research
- Jen Hay - Paul Foulkes: The evolution of medial (-t-) in real and remembered time

text: High Schools Seniors: 5 Things to do Before Summer's Up Aug 15, 2011 by Suada Kolovic Ah, senior year. It's a time chock-full with to-dos, from finalizing your college choice and filling out applications to applying for scholarships and getting your financial aid in order. And with summer slowly coming to a close, it's a good time for rising high school seniors to realize that some deadlines are just around the corner. So rather than let the last weeks of summer slip away, avoid the fall time crunch and consider U.S. News and World's top suggestions of five simple things you can do now: Examine school prices: Relying on just the sticker price when making your college selection is a huge mistake. For the most part, sticker prices are often meaningless. Take the time to do some serious research and understand the real cost of the institutions you're interested in. Know deadlines: Keeping track of the various deadlines you'll have to meet is essential for a successful senior year. In order to make things easier, use Scholarships.com's calendar as a reference! Get started on your college essay: Writing a college essay is one of the most nerve-wracking chores high school seniors face. To relieve some of the pressure, start early. Think about it: If you start now, you're more likely to be able to devote the time needed to do a great job. Consider supplemental materials: If you're an artist, musician or actor, applying for colleges (and scholarships!) may be more time consuming. In some cases, you'll have to audition and have an impressive portfolio to standout. Some schools also require SAT Subject Tests so find out and book exam dates now. Research: If you haven't begun researching schools, get started now. Check out schools online, take virtual tours and really consider what qualities are most important to you. Think about what you want out of your college experience – whether it's a school with a strong academic record, impressive athletic teams or diverse social programs and services – and take a hard look at whether you're applying to schools for the right reasons.Going to college doesn't have to break the bank or saddle you with tens of thousands of dollars in student loan debt. Check out the Scholarships.com free college scholarship search where you'll discover you qualify for hundreds of thousands of dollars in scholarships in just a few minutes, then apply and win! It's that easy!

Of course,
No one shall make you cry.

Oh so sweet,
For you,
I'm glad,
That we meet.

Not just yet,
You are clearly something,
I can't forget.

Growth for the sake of growth is over, but that doesn't mean mergers and acquisitions in the mining space are finished, says Ian Parkinson, director of equity research-mining with GMP Securities L.P. Parkinson expects a fresh round of takeover bids for underperforming single asset producers and developers that could move the needle for state-owned enterprises and multinationals. In this interview with The Gold Report, we picked Parkinson's brain for some likely targets.
The Gold Report: Most of the companies you cover either mine gold or copper. What's GMP Securities' forecast for each?
Ian Parkinson: We're using $1,350 per ounce [$1,350/oz] gold, flatlined. On the copper side, we have a $2.85/pound [$2.85/lb] long-term copper price, but this year and next we're forecasting $3.30/lb. We see the copper price being range bound above $3/lb and then trending down to $2.85/lb, which is probably toward the bottom of the Street's consensus.
TGR: What are your thoughts on recent copper consumption data from China?
IP: It's not as robust as we would like, but London Metals Exchange [LME] data suggests copper inventory levels are being drawn down almost daily. LME warehouses in June and July 2013 had well over 600,000 tons [600 Kt]-they are now below 200 Kt. There isn't a huge stockpile of copper available to disrupt the market. We're seeing cash to three-month spreads tighten, which means nearby copper is being priced higher than three-month material. Without any major changes in China, we see this being the price range for the next year or two.
TGR: Can the companies that you cover make money at current gold and copper prices?
IP: Yes. I have a positive outlook on most of the base metal names that I cover using a long-term copper price that's below today's spot price. But those companies need to be prudent.
TGR: What's the average margin with the companies you cover in the base metals space?
IP: On a cash-cost basis, low costs would be in the $1.30-1.40/lb range, and then higher costs would be around $2/lb. That would be only the site costs. Adding offsite costs-transportation, etc.-could raise costs to $2.30-2.40/lb. Today's copper price is sustainable for most producers. At $3.15/lb copper, even a non-best-in-class copper producer is going to generate $0.50-0.60/lb margin. The real question is: Is the current copper price substantial enough to overcome the lofty capital expenses developers face?
TGR: What type of margin are companies typically generating at $1,300/oz gold?
IP: It varies. Some companies I cover have cash costs in the $600-700/oz range, but when we factor in everything else, we quickly get to all-in sustaining costs of $1,000-1,050/oz. That's the rationale for the all-in sustaining cost reporting-so people can more easily determine the margin. We are seeing all-in sustaining costs around $1,000/oz for a lot of producers.
TGR: You believe mining equity investors will see an onset of "macrocentric" merger and acquisition [M&A] activity in the sector in 2014. Would you please elaborate?
IP: I believe that we will definitely continue to see M&A, but there may be some debate as to whether it's purely macrocentric. I think it's the right time for M&A. If we go back several years, there was growth for the sake of growth. I see things being more opportunistic now. We've seen it already with the recent takeover bids for Osisko Mining Corp. (OSKFF) [OSK:TSX].
TGR: What types of companies will drive this kind of M&A?
IP: I think it's going to be a marriage between a balance sheet and a project, perhaps from state-owned enterprises, the typical Chinese buyer or large multinationals seeking growth. Pre-cash flow projects can be thought of as cheap exploration. There are a substantial number of junior mining companies with market caps that are smaller than what they have sunk into the ground. The market is not giving much value to these development or explorer stories because the opportunity to raise development capital in the junior market is not there, except for something special. It's an opportunity for the large, Western, publicly traded mining companies or state-owned enterprises with decent balance sheets and a focus on growth to step in and say, "We will take that off your hands."
TGR: Do you cover any names you believe could be M&A targets?
IP: I could make an argument for a takeover of the vast majority of companies I cover.
On the base metals side, my coverage focuses on copper. Copper is strategically important and the fundamentals look solid-it's a 22 million ton market. There will be continued desire to grow the copper portion of a mining company's portfolio. On the gold side, I cover some quality companies that have the scale and the right political risk. When we're talking about M&A, it's not simply about the commodity or the cost structure, it's also about political/jurisdictional risk.
TGR: Large companies want large-scale, low-cost, long-life projects in relatively safe jurisdictions. What fits the bill?
IP: I look at a name like Nevada Copper Corp. (OTC:NEVDF) [NCU:TSX]. The company is building phase one of the Pumpkin Hollow mine in Nevada. It checks all the boxes. It's in a mining-friendly jurisdiction in the U.S. with road access and an able-bodied work force. It's a project that has the right scale if we look at the big picture. Phase one is the underground portion of Pumpkin Hollow but the bigger prize is the as-yet unpermitted open-pit mine that would move the needle for any suitor. The permitting timeline is less problematic for a larger company. If permitting takes 6, 12 or 18 months, it's less of an issue in a broader portfolio of assets.
TGR: Do you have a permitting update on phase two?
IP: The Lyon County Land Bill has been entered into the calendar of the U.S. Senate. Subject to scheduling among other Senate business, the bill could be heard at any time, so I am optimistic. If the bill passes, we could be talking about having all the boxes checked by the end of the year.
TGR: Does that account for the overhang on the stock?
IP: Yes, mostly. Phase one is not 100% financed so there is a financing overhang, but I think it's quite minor. I think the company can overcome it. This is an example of a big disconnect in the market. Nevada Copper is trading at 0.41x our estimated net asset value [NAV]. But its producing peers are trading at much higher valuations: Capstone Mining Corp. (OTCPK:CSFFF) [CS:TSX] is trading at 0.59x NAV, Lundin Mining Corp. (OTCPK:LUNMF) [LUN:TSX] at 0.86x NAV and First Quantum Minerals Ltd. (OTCPK:FQVLF) [FM:TSX; FQM:LSE] at 0.95x NAV. You could argue that Nevada Copper is trading like a junior that's not as advanced.
TGR: What's another name that ticks off all the boxes for a larger company?
IP: I think there are opportunities with single-asset companies. Another one that comes to mind is Copper Mountain Mining Corp. (OTCPK:CPPMF) [CUM:TSX]. It runs the Copper Mountain copper-gold-silver mine in south-central British Columbia. It would move the needle for another midtier copper producer. The company tends to lag the valuations of more senior players. In our numbers, Copper Mountain trades at 0.69x NAV; larger names are trading at 0.85-0.95x NAV in today's market.
TGR: What's your target price on Copper Mountain?
IP: I have a $3.20 target-based on 1x our NAV10 estimate.
TGR: Copper Mountain is up about 35% this year. It's noteworthy that you're ranked No. 1 in the Bloomberg Absolute Return Rank [BARR] for your call on Copper Mountain.
IP: Thank you. I didn't realize that.
TGR: Copper Mountain and Lundin Mining, both of which are under coverage, are performing. What are some common denominators in their success?
IP: They're base metal-focused. I have a stronger view on the base metal pricing structure versus bulk commodities like iron ore. If we go up-market and start playing in the realm of BHP Billiton Ltd. (NYSE:BHP) and Rio Tinto Plc (NYSE:RIO), we are taking on more of that bulk commodity exposure. Investors have to come down to these smaller names to get that pure exposure to base metals.
The valuation of Copper Mountain and Lundin, as well as other companies that I cover, are all driven by the same inputs. Our price targets are all 1x NAV/share, using the same price deck for all companies.
TGR: Where is the best value?
IP: Capstone Mining is a valuation call. I think there's a catch-up to be made in that name. I can't explain why it is lagging the group. It recently acquired the Pinto Valley asset from BHP Billiton and that asset is running well. The cash costs were a bit higher than it originally guided, but they are trending in the right direction. All things are looking solid at Pinto Valley. Capstone's other assets are Minto in the Yukon and Cozamin in Mexico. My price target is $4.50.
TGR: Lundin's best asset is a 24% stake in Freeport-McMoRan Copper & Gold Inc.'s (NYSE:FCX) Tenke Fungurume copper mine in the Democratic Republic of the Congo [DRC]. How does that asset compare to others in its peer group?
IP: It's a staggering asset in terms of grade and scale. We are dealing with a mine that's moving material that's 10 times the grade of other mines in my coverage universe. What holds back the deposit is that it's located in the DRC-a difficult place to do business due to limited power, infrastructure and the overall work environment. If that deposit were anywhere else in the world, it would have been mined much earlier and be much bigger than it is.
TGR: How does Lundin balance the DRC risk?
IP: Lundin has become increasingly diversified. The Eagle nickel-copper mine, its main growth asset, is under construction in Michigan's Upper Peninsula-the polar opposite of the DRC in political risk. There's also the Zinkgruvan zinc-copper-lead mine in Sweden, and the Neves-Corvo copper-zinc mine in Portugal. Its political risk is broadly diversified. I have a $6.75 target on Lundin.
TGR: Most of the gold companies you cover have been given a rough ride in 2014. Among the underperformers year-to-date, which ones are poised to post a stronger H2/14?
IP: It's a "show me" year for AuRico Gold Inc. (AUQ), because it is transitioning from an open-pit mine at Young-Davidson in northern Ontario to underground mining at higher grades. More ore is coming from the underground portion but it's still ramping up and that's skewing the financial numbers. By the time Q3/14 rolls around, the open pit should be completely shut down and the numbers should be clearer. The higher grade should move its mining costs in the right direction.
TGR: Please leave us with a thought or two to buoy the spirits of disheartened gold investors.
IP: I'm encouraged that the industry is focusing on economics. Growth for the sake of growth is no longer the preeminent mantra. Assets are being shelved, sold or put on care and maintenance as companies focus on assets that make money. Management teams are being forced to be prudent. The industry is in better shape today than it was a year and a half ago.
TGR: Thank you for your insights, Ian.

Romeo and Juliet by R. S. White
Book DescriptionThis imaginative selection of new critical essays provides a range of contemporary approaches from psychoanalytical to cultural materialist and film theory. An original introduction by the editor seeks to explain the perennial appeal of Romeo and Juliet to young audiences. Included are essays by Catherine Belsey from a deconstructionist point of view, Dympna Callaghan from the viewpoint of feminism and new historicism, and Barbara Hodgdon on Baz Luhrmann's film Romeo + Juliet. Unique to this collection is the inclusion of the fascinating and little-known dramatic 'practice piece' by Bertolt Brecht, called The Servants. The collection as a whole demonstrates the plurality of recent critical approaches, and it also illuminates aspects of Shakespeare's plays which are not noticed in more traditional approaches. The range of critical views open up new ways of re-reading and restaging all of Shakespeare's plays.

Advertisement I'll be the first to admit that I'll happily recycle bottles, paper, and all manner of things but the idea of washing out Ziploc bags over and over again sounds both time-consuming and disgusting. Over at the parenting blog Parent Hacks they highlight a way for people who aren't going to reuse bags for food to still get double duty out of them:I'm a Ziploc bag-washer. I just can't bear to throw out those freezer-weight bags when they've only been used once. Problem is, some bags rinse more cleanly than others. For those bags that really shouldn't do double-duty with food, I store them in the car to act as self-sealing trash bags. That way, when my kid eats a banana and is left with the (rather fragrant) peel, she can seal it up in the bag and throw the whole thing away when we get home.It's a great way to reuse the bag without the ick factor of trying to get a heavy-duty freezer bag clean after it's had a bloody steak in it.

Eight acts we'd pay to not release a new record
The music industry has fallen upon hard times, and hard times call for innovation. Now, we don't know enough about the licensing difficulties behind streaming music, or the revenue share of digital downloads or any of that to suggest a business model based on how people want to listen to music these days (hint: we want it cheap, easy to find and available anywhere). But we do understand something else on a gut level. This:
This campaign has been going for less than two weeks. It has almost as many fans as Nickelback, arguably one of the biggest bands active in rock, and arguably one of the crappiest. See, the other side of love is hate, and for every million people that love a crappy, soulless hunk of shit like Nickelback, there are three million that would love to junk punch them -- and might be willing to pay for the privilege. With that in mind, here are the top bands and acts we'd pay the record companies NOT to release albums by.
8) Nickelback - You didn't think we were just using them as an abstract example, did you? We'd pay at least ten bucks each for a promise that Nickelback wouldn't release a new disc in the next five years, with the hope that people would snap to their senses by the time the deal expired.
7) Anyone associated with American Idol - Please, no more albums from the winners, the runners up or, god forbid, the novelty acts that they bring on in the first shows (we're still recovering from William Hung's Christmas album and we have nightmares about General Larry Platt's sure-to-come rap album). Just no more. Enjoy your TV show, let the "winners" sink into obscurity after the season and requisite tour is over, but for god's sake stop littering the earth with the shiny plastic containing their "music."
Note: This also covers Paula Abdul's eventual "comeback album." No, thank you.
6) Michael Bolton - The classic movie Office Space called him out as a "no-talent assclown" and really, what can we add to that? Just that we'd happily pony up to never hear another peep from the fucking guy.
5) Every Boomer nostalgia act - Every '60s and '70s nostalgia act that drags their dessicated carcasses on one final "last EVER!" tour every five or six years falls into this category: The Rolling Stones, the Eagles, the Who, et al. We don't begrudge them, or their fans, the chance to see them live, despite being mere shells of their former selves. We just wish they didn't feel obligated to release a new album to "tour behind" full of crappy, forgettable songs that serve primarily as a way to milk an extra ten bucks out of the fans (and give them a few songs they feel comfortable using as a bathroom break). No one wants to hear that shit, they want the hits and you know it.

Excellent tour of Capri and Anacapri.
Our Tour Guide was knowledgable and personable. The comfortable tour bus made this trip even more enjoyable. I would have liked to have spent more time on the island.
I am from New York originally but with my friend visiting from Italy with little time on hand I thought of picking this tour .
I have not enough words to express our joy and excitement throughout this tour . This was sure an amazing tour but Tyler was brilliant a tour guide and made it such fun . Tx
beautiful scenary
The tour company picked us up at our hotel in Rome for a comfortable bus ride down to Naples. Once in Naples we boarded the ferry to Capri. Capri was fantastic. Our tour guide was friendly and knowledgeable. We had a great lunch at a small local restaurant. We didn't feel rushed. It was off season so many of the shops were not open but the scenery more than made up for it. Then back on the ferry to Naples and the bus ride back to Rome. They even dropped us off at the hotel after the tour was complete.
The entire day was breath taking. Guides were excellent
Capri was absolutely beautiful! Well worth the long day and journey to see. Our tour guides both on the coach and on Capri were so knowledgeable. The restaurant we had lunch in was really nice and the food was good.
Amazing tour! It's a must see and I would go back again.
The Capri tour was extraordinary! The views defy adjectives! A long day, but worth every minute. Tour director Mara was amazing and fun!
Gary and Lee
FP7020 Canada
Very long day but so worth it! We were picked up at our hotel which was very convenient.
This was a full size bus making it a large tour group but once we arrived in Capri we were split up into separate groups.
The blue grotto was closed but we were very happy with the boat tour around the island, we were able to see all the other grottos and we got up really close to them for photos.
We can't remember the name of our guide on the bus but we do remember Pino who was our guide in Capri, he was wonderful.
We also did the chair lift to the top of Mount Solaro, which had stunning views. Lunch was good, but felt that we spent too much time sitting inside a restaurant instead of enjoying the beauty outside.
This tour was longer than 13 hours as stated but no complaints as this gave us more time to spend enjoying the beautiful scenery. The tour ended with a surprise drop off at our hotel. We highly recommend this tour!
Our guide Patrick and Mr Beano in Napoli were really great. Had a fantastic day.
We had a great day even though it was very long. The bus picked us up and dropped off back at the hotel which was wonderful. The down side was the coach. It was really squashy with not much leg room but the rest of the day was fabulous.
Awesome trip....Lydia was fantastic, very knowledgeable and spoke 3 languages with ease. We loved the sights, the delicious lunch and of course the locally made Limoncello.
The tour was amazing!! Would definitely recommend it to my family and friends:
Beautiful day in Capri. Excellent bus service and our host was excellent and very knowledgeable.
it was a great experience. I highly recommend this tour.
Tour was great.Our guide was very informative.
This was my favorite tour of all 5 tours I was able to do. The food was great. The guide was great. And most importantly, there was spare time to do whatever I wanted. I walked around and I made new friends that also did the tour. The ride was long but comfortable. The boat ride was nice. Could not see the Blue Grotto due to weather, but it was still worth it to do this tour.
This tour was amazing!
This trip was in a class of its own. The beauty was breathtaking. I would love to return and enjoy the beauty again. Thank you to our guides especially on the boat trip. Excellant
Great island and site to see. I would love to visit in the height of the summer.
This tour was absolutely amazing Capri is such a beautiful location, we really enjoyed this tour and would definitely go back.
Heather N Canada
A must see when in Italy. Only change I would make would be to choose a small group size or private tour. Guides were great and length of tour was perfect. We loved Capri and will spend a few days in Capri on our next visit.
This was the best part of our trip to Italy. Thanks to Ms Sabeena our guide from Rome and many more thanks to Mr. Giuseppe Pino our guide from Naples Bay onwards for executing the trip professionally. Right from Naples Bay, Mr. Pino ensured that we all had a hassle free trip with his great disciplined style of working. When we arrived at Capri, we came to know that the Blue Grotto was closed because of high tide. Mr. Pino immediately had a back up plan and organised the boat cruise around the island but he saved it for the end of our trip. Like they say saving the best for last The cruise turned out to be cheaper only 18 Euros, much longer than the trip to Blue Grotto and covered all the important landmarks around the island. All along our bus trip to AnaCapri, Pino entertained us with the stories of the island, Roman Emperor Tiberius, what things one can do on the island and what it is famous for. He also had a good sense of humour. At Ana Capri, we took the chairlift to the highest point on the island Mount Solaro. It cost us only 11 Euros return but the slow 1000 feet ride up made every cent worth it. The views from Solaro was breathtaking. After a nice lunch, the best part of the trip was waiting for us, thanks to Mr. Pinos back up plan. Poseidon, the Sea God also favoured us. The sea was calm to allow the cruise to happen. Mr. Pino organised the cruise through Laser Capri. The captain of the ship with his live commentary and enthusiasm just added more flavour to the trip. He took the boat right into the grottos and we could touch the roof of the Green Grotto, see the stalactites hang above us from the roof of the White Grotto. The boat passed through the wave eroded openings in the stack of rocks Faraglioni emerging from the sea. The other important sights around the island that we saw were the Natural Arc, The Scugnizo, the Tiberius Leap, Marina Picollo, the light house Punta Carena. We all came back to Rome feeling very happy.

ARLINGTON, Texas -- Eric Gagne once converted a major league record 84 straight games. What the 2003 NL Cy Young winner had never done was save two games on the same day -- until Tuesday.
The burly Texas closer pitched the ninth inning in both games of a doubleheader, getting the last three outs after a leadoff hit each time, as the Rangers swept the Seattle Mariners. Texas won the nightcap 4-3 after a 2-1 victory in the opener.
Limited to 15 1/3 innings the last two seasons for the Los Angeles Dodgers because of three operations (two elbow, one back), Gagne pitched in three games in a 24-hour span. It's another strong indication that he is indeed healthy.
"You can talk about it, but until you prove it, that's all that matters," said Gagne, who has 16 saves in 17 chances this season. "Going back-to-back days and back-to-back games on the same day, it's just good to prove it."
Manager Ron Washington had said he had no intention of using Gagne twice Tuesday. In the series opener late Monday night, Gagne pitched in a non-save situation and allowed three runs in the ninth inning as the Rangers held on to win 8-7.
"He came to me," Washington said.
"Every time you give up runs, you want to get back on the mound and get the negative thoughts out of your mind," Gagne said.
No. 9 hitter Travis Metcalf was 4-for-4 in the nightcap. His last hit was a tiebreaking RBI double in the eighth that scored Gerald Laird, who had a leadoff single before a sacrifice bunt by Ramon Vazquez.
In the opener, John Rheinecker allowed only an unearned run over seven innings in his second start of the season.
Seattle has lost five straight games since getting within one game of the AL West-leading Los Angeles Angels -- but is still just 2 ½ games out of the division lead.
When the Dodgers declined Gagne's $12 million option for 2007 last winter, few teams seriously considered the hard-throwing closer who, from 2002-04, had 84 consecutive saves. But the Rangers offered a $6 million deal that gave Gagne a chance to earn up to $5 million in performance bonuses.
Now other teams seeking bullpen help before the July 31 non-waiver trade deadline are showing interest.
Gagne has said he wants to stay in Texas and the Rangers could offer a new contract if they don't trade him.
In the nightcap, Raul Ibanez went from an apparent strikeout to a two-run double on the next pitch that put the Mariners up 3-1 in the fifth. Even Ibanez appeared to think he had struck out on his swing until home plate umpire Jim Reynolds ruled a foul tip.
The Rangers got even in the bottom of the fifth when Mark Teixeira had a broken-bat RBI single and Michael Young scored on a wild pitch. Young's RBI double in the third plated Metcalf, who had a leadoff triple.
C.J. Wilson (2-1) struck out three batters in 1 1/3 innings in relief of Kameron Loe.
Both Game 2 starters left tied 3-3 after throwing a lot of pitches. Seattle's Jarrod Washburn threw 112 (63 strikes) in 5 2/3 innings. Loe, who had a 9.35 ERA his previous two starts since the All-Star break, threw 77 of 117 pitches for strikes.
The opener was the makeup of a game rained out April 24, one of six games in April that Seattle has postponed by weather. The Mariners still have to make up two games from the entire four-game series at Cleveland that was snowed out. ... In Game 1, home plate umpire Gary Cederstrom was hit on the hand by a bat that slipped out of Teixeira's hands on a swing. Later when Lopez struck out swinging, the ball never hit the catcher's mitt and ricocheted off Cederstrom's chest protector. Pitcher Joaquin Benoit picked up the ball and threw to first for a rare 1-3 strikeout.

Tom Moore of phillyBurbs.com: The Sixers' fan base, which hadn't been thrilled by the previous offseason moves, seems energized by finally having a player of Andrew Bynum's caliber. They've waited six years since Allen Iverson's departure. Andre Iguodala is a terrific defender and fine all-around player, but not a legitimate scorer or star. And his on-court sulking and dispassionate responses had become quite tiresome. Next summer, the Sixers can give Bynum a five-year deal worth more than $100 million, which is one year and $20-plus million more than anybody else. If he plays up to his potential and continues to mature, Bynum would be worth every penny. Should it not work out that way, the Sixers could trade Bynum at the February deadline or wait to deal him until after the season in a sign-and-trade scenario. They could also create quite a bit of salary-cap space to use on a free-agent class that's expected to be strong by allowing him, along with Wright and Young, to leave next summer. In short, the Sixers made the right move by trading for Bynum.
Ailene Voisin of The Sacramento Bee: The NBA is a follow-the-leader league, so when the Miami Heat captured the Finals with talent, quickness, versatility, with LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh but without significant size or a dominant post player, several team execs starting philosophically trending toward smaller, quicker, more athletic players. And then the Lakers acquired Dwight Howard. So now what? Couple the Lakers' long and powerful frontcourt of Howard/Pau Gasol with the Gasol brothers' near-upset of Team USA in Sunday's gold-medal game, and just like that, size again matters.
Tim Kawakami of the San Jose Mercury News: Thanks to their own recent moves, the Warriors have players who theoretically match up with the Lakers super team. Start with Andrew Bogut, a true center who, iffully healthy, can give Howard almost as many headaches as Howard gives everybody else. And Stephen Curry and his point-guard backup Jarrett Jack aren't a terrible matchup against Nash. OK, the Warriors certainly don't have the personnel to counter Kobe Bryant or Pau Gasol, but almost nobody does. And the Warriors aren't bankrupt at those spots -- they can toss David Lee, Carl Landry, Festus Ezeli and Draymond Green at Gasol, and Klay Thompson, Brandon Rush and Harrison Barnes at Kobe. I am in no way saying that the Warriors will ever be a super team with this roster. But they start off with a fighting chance against all rosters, even the super rosters.
Kyle Veazey of The Commercial-Appeal: As much as one-third of the Grizzlies could be owned by local partners as part of prospective owner Robert Pera's bid to buy the team, sources close to Pera told The Commercial Appeal. Pera's associates insist that the 34-year-old CEO of Ubiquiti Networks isn't pushing for local partners because he needs to, but because he wants to collaborate with Memphians for the franchise's overall good. In addition to local partners, the group also could include out-of-town partners, said the sources, who requested anonymity because they have not been authorized to speak on Pera's behalf. Also, the NBA discourages public comments by prospective owners and their representatives during the approval process. Pera's representatives have been in Memphis in recent weeks, meeting with dozens of business and community leaders in what has been termed a "listening tour."
Michael Cunningham of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution: There are reasons to believe the Hawks are in a better position than Dallas. The 2012-13 Hawks, on paper at least, are comparable to the 2012-13 Mavericks. Smith and Horford may be more attractive trade targets now than Nowitzki is 34-years old and owed nearly $44 million over the next two years. The Hawks also have multiple draft picks. The counter to those arguments is that the Mavs under Cuban have a much better organizational reputation than the Hawks. That means that, theoretically, they have a better chance of landing superstar free agents or keeping them for the long term after trading for them. Now that Ferry has gained the flexibility he coveted, the next step is trying to make the Hawks the kind of franchise where the best players want to work.
Shannon J. Owens of the Orlando Sentinel: I caught up with Darrell Armstrong during his 13th annual Darrell Armstrong Classic weekend to benefit his foundation for premature babies to get his thoughts on his former team. Armstrong, currently an assistant coach for the Dallas Mavericks, competed for the Magic from 1995-2003. You'll recall Armstrong helped lead the Magic to an impressive near playoff run on a 41-41 record for a team predicted to win 10 games led by a then young Doc Rivers. The Magic traded Penny Hardaway, Horace Grant and Nick Anderson, the final integral pieces to Orlando's inaugural NBA Finals appearance. So it's no surprise that Armstrong would feel the Magic don't need a superstar to remain competitive in an increasingly talented Eastern Conference. Matter-of-fact, the absence of a superstar makes the Orlando Magic an even bigger threat, according to Armstrong. "That's what makes a more dangerous team to me because you can't zero in on anybody," Armstrong said.
Paul Coro of The Arizona Republic: When Suns General Manager Lance Blanks talks about his team's summer makeover, infrastructure, style of play and its will to return to elite status, the presiding theme is commitment. The Suns, who sought a clear commitment to Phoenix from a draft pick, six free agents and a trade target, have focused on moving to a younger roster with more emphasis on player development. The roster has changed, but the commitment to a wide-open, entertaining playing style remains -- and the front office has done it all with an aim toward returning the team to a sustainable elite status. Two years have passed since Blanks was hired following the Suns' conference finals run. "I've surveyed the land, and I got it and I understand it from ownership all the way down," Blanks said. "My hands are on it in a different way now. Part of my goal in the first two years was as much about staying out of the way as it was hands on or hands off because what existed was working at the time."
John Rohde of The Oklahoman: Despite limited time with his new OKC teammates, Perry Jones surprisingly said he already felt close to one player in particular — Kevin Durant — even though they've communicated primarily by text. "He's a guy who really cares about his teammates," Jones said. "A lot of people at his level, they mostly just care about themselves. It's very rare you come around a guy like that who cares about his team. Besides just checking on me – seeing how I'm doing and things like that – he's talking about working out together when he gets back. He said he looks forward to being pushed." Jones has found a home locally, but admittedly missed some of the Summer Olympics while making the move. "Didn't have cable, and the power went out a couple of days," Jones said. Durant, Russell Westbrook and James Harden won the gold medal as members of Team USA, edging Thunder teammate Serge Ibaka and Spain in the championship game 107-100. "It's great to have four Olympians on the team," Jones said.
Staff of the Detroit Free Press: Brandon Knight traveled Monday to Winnipeg to promote the Pistons' Oct. 24 exhibition game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Knight, the Pistons' second-year point guard, was on hand to spread the word of the NBA, sign autographs and run a basketball camp for youths. "It's very important to expand to other cities besides Toronto," Knight told the Winnipeg Free Press at the MTS Centre, where the game will be played. "It's great to get the game of basketball to other places that haven't seen it firsthand. Just to have Winnipeg see it firsthand, they'll get to see what it's like, and we'll love playing in front of a new type of crowd that loves sports in general, and it will be a lot of fun." The Winnipeg Free Press reports close to 6,000 tickets have been sold for the game.

The Lily Theater is a strikingly original debut novel-an international literary sensation-based on the author's experience growing up in China during the Cultural Revolution. When twelve-year-old Lian Shui accompanies her mother to reeducation camp, no one imagines that Lian will receive an education. But detained along with her mother are some of China's greatest thinkers and they take an interest in young Lian. She in turn delivers lectures of her own to the creatures inhabiting a pond she dubs "The Lily Theater." These ideas inform her life when she returns to school and reunites with her best friend Kim, a peasant girl through whom Lian ultimately learns about the painful failings of Mao's teachings-and of life.

Licensed Estheticians trained in microneedle therapy can do just as good a treatment if not better. Because they don't rush you and a good esthetician will monitor your homecare treatments.<br/>You can even do it yourself and have on-line help. You have to make sure to have a good quality dermaroller, like they say you get what you pay for. I personally used on my scars and saw 100% differance.

Douglas Doherty Electric Now Installing Renewable Energy Systems In The Bay Area
San Jose, California USA (November 20, 2009) - Douglas Doherty Electric, a local residential niche electrician, is now providing renewable energy solutions for the local Bay Area.
As a dealer of renewable energy materials, Douglas is able to offer optimum products, pricing and service. To include solar panels and accessories, fuel cells, wind turbines, home surge protection devices, electrical panels and disconnect units. All consultations, city permitting and federal incentive paperwork and installations, are completed by Douglas himself.
Douglas Doherty Electric is a full service electrical contracting business, providing consultation, design, and installation. The business was started in April, 2004 and has strived to provide his customers with state of the art, innovative products and devices that are best suited for each individual project. Douglas is determined that the next five years are going to be critical as we move towards a more sustainable planet. "With the American Recovery Act in place, you will begin to see improvement on several levels. The first, I feel, is going to be our carbon footprint on the earth. Secondly, the demand for "the grid" influx will decrease. I actually hope that its decrease will be above any expectations, creating other sustainable jobs for our children's future." (Douglas Doherty, on November 20, 2009).
California's solar industry has over 50,000 current customers and has installed 500 megawatts of solar power. Thermal, wind, solar and even fuel cell technologies are now beginning to become more and more a part of our immediate future, and there is plenty of support, money and people who are making it happen. Each renewable energy device or system installed helps out our overall "footprint"

About Douglas Doherty Electric: 12 years in the electrical industry, and 3 years previous in the construction industry. In 2006, the business had 4 full time employees and the future was bright. The industry has since caused downsizing in the business, but Douglas is confident that the new year will bring projects back in. Renewable energy systems design and installations are now a large part of the business, and with the American Recovery Act and other such incentives in place, the future looks large.

We learn lessons from many different places. I, for one, learned the desert is a harsh, dangerous terrain by watching the Patrick Swayze movie Steel Dawn. Sure, I had an inkling beforehand, how could I not? It's really dry and has few inhabitants. Fair enough.
But it took the sight of Swayze dancing filmic ballet to the sound of Brian May's soundtrack to really concretise what were hitherto merely fleeting thoughts. Nomadic existence coupled with mullet: is there a more profound statement on the terror lurking behind each and every dune of the sandy ocean?
I doubt there is. I doubt even more that I could have been better prepared for Paul Bowles' excursion into the wilds of North Africa. Swayze laid a foundation into which Bowles placed his opus, The Sheltering Sky.
A travelogue of sorts, The Sheltering Sky follows an American couple (Kit and Port) as they travel around North Africa, moving from one obscure settlement to another. Accompanying them is Port's buddy, Tunner, a rather dull fellow, indecisive and weak, who Kit generally dislikes. The story focuses on the couple as they try to cope with both the foreign environment and each other. Neurotic and inclined to over-think seemingly trivial events, they become distanced, bifurcated by a hostile landscape brimming with the new and the inexperienced. They stand as lone figures on a sheet of sun-draped earth, links severed by the coarse wind, irrecoverably isolated with only the deepening darkness of the desert lying ahead of them.
Paul Bowles in many ways straddles the line between the Lost Generation and the Beat Generation. Ousting himself from the United States at an early age, he spent most of his life outside the country, primarily residing in Tangier. Over the 50s he became friendly with various expatiate poets and artists, ones frequently glazed with the label of Beat – Bill Burroughs being one notable visitor to his Tangier abode.
Yet, at least as far as The Sheltering Sky is concerned, a more accurate point of reference is that of Albert Camus. The meditations on the nature of the human and the sufferings of existence that fill The Outsider, typical of a Camus preoccupied with the individual ripped from the claws of religion and set down in front of a potential freedom, paint stark pictures of persons lost and exiled as they endeavour to function in the world.
Kit and Port are wayfarers in a sea of alienation, cut apart from each other, unable to bond with others except by the most tenuous of threads. The barren terrain of the desert perfectly allegorises the existential condition: the subject stripped of all social clothing forced to endure the elements of the world. Characters, failing to connect with the other, retreat into their own solitude – a solitude both geographical and mental. The fixity of Kit and Port's marriage becomes as eroded as the sand upon which they tread. Locals are momentary decorations on their aimless journey, mere objects to colour the scene.
The land is an abyss of dejection and physical torment, the bearer of disease and wanton disfigurement. Port's illness, which emerges some halfway through the novel, spawns as if from nowhere, its sudden darkness swallowing him whole – the illness of isolation transfigured into a ravaging of the body. Kit's descent into a cauldron of instability and tears also traces a progression from mental pain to physical pain. Kit and Port assume "an existence of exile from the world."
What is worse: to be locked off from the mind of the other, or to be treated insignificantly by the world you never chose to be a part of? Both emerge as a double whammy of estrangement for our two protagonists. The gulf between the thought and what is said is repeatedly used to show the discord between the interior self and the surface, and generates even more distance between one character and another. Dialogue scenes are marked by these snippets of interior reflection where Kit, say, will think what she wants to say to Port, but will then say something else, a banal mask for what she really thinks. The subject is concealed from the other, like Swayze enshrouded in his nomadic ways in Steel Dawn.
The web of social relations and the furtive eyes of the other may be off-limits, but the physical world of spaces and smells remains similarly a fount of despair. The desert assumes the form of another character, given body by long, winding descriptions flowing ruthlessly in and out of chapters. The desert is the site for loss; it takes and does not give, spiralling its prey further and further into its heart of darkness.
Bowles' novel – as if the foregoing synopsis isn't clear enough – is a bleak picture of people lost in the world. It can be quite harrowing at times, plummeting characters to terrifying depths, especially as the narrative reaches a climax. These later events work to such brilliant effect because by that time one has already become enraptured by the antics of the pair, of the curios of their minds, of their robust adventuring.
To go alongside the diegetic estrangement – the clawing remoteness separating Kit and Port – there is an odd reader estrangement prompted by the amount of foreign tongues not translated into English: the fragments of French, Arabic, and countless other local dialects spoken throughout the book. This and the subtle use of ambiguity make an alien world for the reader also.
There are some moments of humour over the course of the novel, such as when Kit and Port attempt to ditch Tunner, but on the whole The Sheltering Sky is a dark tale. Here, the snapshot is sepia-tinged with edges frayed by loss. Bowles' best known work is a wonderful creation in the vein of existential fiction; a joy to read and think about.Powered by Sidelines

Monika Schaefer busking permit still declined by tyrannical authorities
Open Letter by Monika Schaefer
"Who is this Dave Baker to possess such power over a gentle, law-abiding individual, whom he EXCLUDES from normal opportunity on the basis of some Communist-inspired crackpot theory of INCLUSIVENESS?"

Dave Baker
Habitat for the Arts
5 August 2016
Dear Dave,
Thank you very much for showing me yesterday exactly where you stand on the issue of my busking permit. Before having finally seen you face-to-face for the first time this summer, I had given you the benefit of the doubt. I believed that surely someone else is whispering in your ear, giving you direction. I believed that, because I did not recognize the Dave Baker that I have known since many years, in the curt email which you sent on 23rd July 2016, quoted here:
"We have considered your application for a busking permit in Jasper. In light of your recently publicly proclaimed non-inclusive beliefs we have decided to decline a permit to you at this time….Please see the attached Values and Principles statement."
The hostility with which you treated me yesterday, at the "soft opening" of the new library-and-arts facility, gave me quite a clear picture. It became much more obvious to me that it must indeed be you who has made the decision to arbitrarily deny me a busking permit. Your attitude was belligerent and quite frankly, cowardly.
"You – already – have – the – only – answer – that – you – will – get."
You and I have been generous with each other and with the community in the countless endeavours that we have participated in and shared over the years. Is that all forgotten? It seems you have left your humanity behind.
You have designated yourself judge, jury, prosecutor, and enforcer all at once, on a spurious assumption that I am guilty of a crime, when in fact I am acting in good conscience to rectify past wrongs. My actions are based on my new understanding that the Hollywood version of history we have been taught is indeed full of factual errors.
You made it perfectly clear that answers are not forthcoming to my two questions which I asked in my email of August 1st quoted here:
"There has been a stunning silence from you since the cursory email you sent me on July 23rd, 2016 … I am wondering who you are accountable to, and who the "we" refers to in your (original) message to me. These are two very important questions and I expect that you will be forthcoming with an answer to these…. Monika"
I asked those questions again yesterday, peacefully and in person, and you repeatedly told me "I will not discuss this here, I will not discuss this now. This is a sacred place." So I asked when and where? When would the answers be coming? Could we set up a meeting please? You then told me point blank "You – already – have – the – only – answer – that – you – will – get."
I see… final judgement has been made, and the proverbial jail key has been tossed out.
My first question was about accountability. I received a partial answer from the cover of this week's Fitzhugh newspaper. The caption under the front-page picture of happy buskers says "Music in the Streets… thanks to a new pilot-project between the municipality and Habitat for the Arts." For that reason I am sending this to all the town councillors and mayor, as they have a role to play in this. Are they also playing the role of thought police?
The Habitat "Values and Principles" statement is very good. The second paragraph follows (emphases mine), to show the absurdity of your accusation of "non-inclusive beliefs" against me. I contend it is you who is being non-inclusive.
"We believe that learning never stops
We know it enhances social inclusion, active citizenship and personal development.
We embrace new challenges and ideas.
We welcome new methods and change.
We help each other grow through knowledge exchange and support."
Dave Baker, since you do not want to talk with me, then you simply become part of the wider story. My 'bcc' list is growing ever larger, as more and more people from around the world are taking an interest in this story. It is beginning to look like this pretty little town in a National Park and a World Heritage Site is becoming a leader in the totalitarian anti-free-speech direction that Canada is taking.

Cogent Commentary on Dave Baker's Actions Against Monika Schaefer
by Robert Klinck
Incredibly in this age of unprecedented material abundance, access to the necessities of survival is still conditional on meeting criteria laid down by domineering, puritanical financiers and their political minions. They can destroy anyone by restricting their ability to secure income. Who is this Dave Baker to possess such power over a gentle, law-abiding individual, whom he EXCLUDES from normal opportunity on the basis of some Communist-inspired crackpot theory of INCLUSIVENESS? I know about this occult power inherent in the employment system from personal experience, having had the administration of the House of Commons deny the existence of my degrees from the University of Alberta for the past 28 years. Get that – blatant, unrelenting lying on the part of the federal parliament (successive Speakers included), which promulgates laws and regulations to which it says I must conform! Unseen by the public, bureaucratic animus is given free rein, and protection absolute, against targeted individuals in the corridors of power. Let's call this ability on the part of an elect arbitrarily to close avenues of survival, and punish selectively through misuse of the institutions of government, by its proper name: terrorism. This immediate, pervasive form is the one the police and judicial authorities should be most assiduously working to eradicate. But they are blind to it.

Ok, I'm lying. There's no such thing (as far as I know) as magenta food coloring. I just had to see what the blue looked like when I altered the color in Photoshop. I like it.

Those with oily skin may prefer Propylene Glycol (an alcohol derivative). You could also use with the multitude of the two. I have actually tried KY Liquid lubricant in mine before, which combines Propylene Glycol and Glycerin, and provides a striking preservative. Note that although propylene glycol discovered in many skin care products, way to obtain backlinks prefer an all-natural Skin Serum. If this is applicable to you, you will need to only use glycerin with your skin care preparations. The two main positives are that the product contains both peptides and Acid hyaluronic. This will provide you with new collagen growth and firmer skin. The negatives are that the items cannot be discovered on need to be followed website! Also, the website does not provide detailed descriptions among the active ingredientd and products does not include Argireline. 2nd recommendation would keep skin color moisturized.

Whether they work any benefit than a normal Essential Skin Eye Cream Cream or lotion is open to discussion. Many mothers swear that one product worked for them.

American Pragmatism: An IntroductionBy: John J. Stuhr (author)Hardback
More than 4 weeks availability
DescriptionAmerican Pragmatism provides a thorough account of pragmatism's development, themes, major figures, and critical issues. The book begins with an introductory overview of pragmatism, stressing its historical development, its principal topical concerns, and its complex relation to American culture (including its frequent characterization as a distinctively "American" philosophy). The following four chapters explore the thought of the major pragmatists: Charles Peirce, William James, John Dewey, and George Herbert Mead. Chapter six deals with the development of pragmatism - and the proliferation of varieties of pragmatism - after Dewey. While issues concerning the philosophic adequacy of pragmatism are always close at hand, Chapter Seven attends explicitly to the critical assessment of pragmatism. The final Chapter examines not just the letter of pragmatism, but its moving spirit or, in the words of James, its temperament, strenuous mood, and Emersonian insistence on possibility. American Pragmatism provides a contribution to the ongoing resurgence and advancement of pragmatism and provides an overview of the subject. Self-contained and accessible to newcomers to the field, its critical focus also merits the attention of scholars. No other book provides comparable breadth, critical acuity, or direct, lively style.

Film canisters: Tiny canisters full of big uses
We know film has gone the way of memory sticks and Photoshop. But keep those traditional cameras around - if only for the convenient reuses of the plastic film canisters.
Here are the 10 best tips for reusing the tiny containers, sent to us by you, the readers.
1. Sewing accessory: "I drill a hole in the lid and keep it next to my sewing machine. All my used needles and bent pins go in it. Keeps me and the garbage people from getting stuck."
-Barbara Willey, Orange
2. Change container: "The best use for the film canister is to fill with quarters, place in glove compartment of car, and use quarters for parking meters, toll roads, coin laundry machines and spare change."
-Mary Ann Lyman, Mission Viejo
3. Change container II: "I have been using film canisters for years to keep quarters in. I keep one canister of quarters in my bowling bag to pay for bowling penalties, another for playing cards with the girls."
-Olivia Burbank, Orange
4. Change container III: "I stored quarters in the clear film canisters and used a permanent marker to mark $1 increments on the sides so I always knew how many laundry loads I had enough change for at the apartment-complex laundry room."
-Deborah Diep, Buena Park
5. Pet-food portions: "My wife and I often go on summer vacation for a month or two at a time. We have a box turtle outside that needs feeding. I punched holes in the lids of the film canisters, placed a few meal worms in each one of the canisters, then placed them in the refrigerator. Our neighbor would then come over and dump a canister every other day to feed our turtle while we were gone."
-David and Linda Pflaster, Fullerton
6. Mix custom paint: "As a model maker I often have to mix small quantities of custom paint colors, but need an exact match later, sometimes several weeks later. The film canisters work great for that type of storage ..."
-Mark Jones, Huntington Beach
7. Camping gear: "My suggestion isn't so much about the empty film canisters as it is the plastic lids of the canisters. I am an RVer and when on an outing I spread a roll of indoor/outdoor carpeting beside my RV. I used to try to find rocks for the corners of the rug to keep it in place in the wind. No more! I just drive a 10 penny nail through the canister lids and drive them through the corners and sides of the rug, and into the ground ... ."
-R.J. Burbank, Orange
8. Travel amenities: "We have used film canisters to store shampoo, conditioner and lotion on trips. They are the perfect size for one or two nights' supply. You can't purchase travel-size containers of most brands of hair-care products, so film canisters work perfectly."
-Tina Mudd, Mission Viejo
9. Stamp dispenser: Cut a slit down the side of the canister and use it to store and dispense a roll of stamps.
10. Save your salad: If you have any film canisters that you don't need anymore, they can be used to hold salad dressing when you pack your lunch. Just pour it into the canister, put the lid on, and you can put the dressing on your salad when it's time to eat it; that way it doesn't get soggy.
