NWL notes: Spangenberg stays cool
No. 10 overall pick remains humble despite quick success
By Special to MLB.com | July 8, 2011 8:18 AM ET
Through 18 games this season, the 10th overall pick is hitting .391 with 18 RBIs and one home run, and his .557 on base percentage leads the Eugene Emeralds. His fast start also contributed to the Ems' recent 14-game winning streak, which set a Northwest League record. Rogue Valley (1969) and Walla Wall (1973) were previously tied with 13-game streaks of their own.
His early success as a pro has also earned him his own accolades, as he was named as Player of the Week for the Northwest League for each of the first two weeks of the season. Still, the 20-year-old would not take any credit for the Emeralds' quick start this season.
"We have a good team, and we have a great coaching staff, and our team chemistry is unbelievable," Spangenberg said. "I'm just trying to get better in every aspect of the game. You can never be satisfied with where you're at."
The recognition is nothing new for the left-handed hitter. Spangenberg was the Big South Conference Freshman of the year at Virginia Military Institute in 2010, then transferred to Indian River State College in Fort Pierce Fla., where he compiled a .477 batting average.
Just a few days after being drafted, he signed with the Padres and even got a little taste of what it's like to take some swings in the batter's box at PETCO Field.
"The Padres have treated me very well," he said. "They flew me out there for a couple games, and I got to sit right next to the field. I also got to take [batting practice], so that was cool."
San Diego drafted Spangenberg with the intent of keeping him at second base, so he consequently said defense is his main focus as he develops in his professional career. As that development continues, though, his popularity continues to grow, and that's something he's already started to enjoy.
"Signing autographs after the game for little kids is awesome," Spangenberg said. "We have great fan support here in Eugene."
Although the pressure to live up to the hype may get to some, Spangenberg tries to take the simplest approach possible. He was in college just a few months ago but has already found his baseball groove by staying consistent in his demeanor, whether it's in practice, or a game situation.
He said if his baseball career hadn't panned out, he would have liked to have studied secondary education with the ultimate goal of teaching math. That's no longer his focus, though, and he said it's important to not focus on the hype surrounding his early performance.
"You can't really play with that pressure because if you do, it will just hurt you in the long run," he said. "You're playing the game you love for your job, so life can't get any better."
Streak ended: Eugene's 14-game win streak was halted with an 11-1 loss to Vancouver on Wednesday, during which Stephen McQuail left the yard twice, collected four RBIs and scored three times.
Sharing the wealth:: In addition to Spangenberg's award, the Emeralds also boast the Northwest League Pitcher of the Week. RHP Matthew Stites earned the honor after going 1-0 in four games, a span of 5 2/3 innings. He did not allow a single hit while walking two and striking our five.
Big kids: The Everett AquaSox announced an adult baseball camp, which will be led by former Mariner Dave Henderson. The camp, scheduled for Aug. 4-7, is open to anyone over 30 and will give participants the full professional baseball experience, including their own Everett AquaSox jersey.
Don't forget the ladies: The Vancouver Canadians are hosting their fourth annual "Ladies Day on the Diamond," in which the club invites the participants onto Scotiabank Field to learn baseball basics, includes how to accurately score a game, as well as proper training techniques. The one-day event takes place on Saturday, July 16.

Hi 'fryup',
Firstly, Your "little fella" is a girl, not a boy, because she is carrying pollen in her pollen baskets - which boy bees don't have.
Secondly, to my mind she is almost certainly a Common Carder Bee (Bombus pascuorum).
They are quite variable in fur colour, but have some dark patches on her abdomen.
There are some rarer carder bees, but these are range restricted, so in most parts of the country you are unlikely to see them.
I hope this helps.

Hi fryup,
I agree with Clive's i/d. Did you notice which flowers she was foraging? B. pascuorum workers have long tongues and like to visit deep tubular flowers to get the nectar. In my garden, this includes white dead nettle.
16 June 2013 01:24 AM #3
I have a similar bee and would be grateful if anyone could confirm that it is also B. pascuorum. This bee was resting above the flowers of comfrey plant after a heavy rain shower so it is a bit bedraggled.
Sorry for jumping onto someone elses thread.

TARRYTOWN, N.Y. – What do you think the new Tappan Zee Bridge should look like?
State officials released the details of three bridge designs on Wednesday. The New York State Thruway Authority will make the final decision Dec. 17.
The bridge selection committee is recommending Proposal No. 1, which would cost $3.142 billion and take five years and three months to build. The design would include the dredging of about 951,000 cubic yards of river bottom.
Proposal No. 2 would cost $3.990 billion. Construction would take about six years and would include the dredging of about 1.8 million cubic yards of soil.
Proposal No. 3 would cost $4.059 billion and take about six years to build. Dredging would include about 1.55 million cubic yards of river bottom.

I think my grandmother (z"l) would have been quite shocked by my erev Yom Kippur menu. It was definitely not the usual family fare. But, I have finally realised that we shouldn't have a heavy meal before the 25 hour fast. It is just not healthy. So, I collected some interesting recipes for the meal.
I found a very interesting Iraqi fish dish that was adapted from a 13th century Baghdadi cookbook called Kitab al-Tabikh.
Al-Baghdadi's Kitab al-Tabikh was for long the only medieval Arabic cookery book known to the English-speaking world, thanks to A.J Arberry's path-breaking 1939 translation as `A Baghdad Cookery Book' which was re-issued by Prospect Books in 2001 in Medieval Arab Cookery. For centuries, it has been the favourite Arab cookery book of the Turks. The original manuscript is still in Istanbul, and at some point a Turkish sultan commissioned a very handsome copy which can still be seen in The British Library in London. – From Amazon.Com
The recipe called for 1/2 cup of sumac and I was a bit skeptical, but the dish was outstanding. I used a large drumfish, called מוסר in Hebrew or Mussar, which is a nice firm, meaty fish that was perfect for this dish. The Iraqis probably made this with a type of carp that is found in the Tigris river called Mangar.
I only stuffed one fish for the two of us, so I have enough stuffing left over for one more fish.
(Samak Mashwi bil Summaq) From A Baghdad Cookery Book (Kitab al-Tabikh) by Muhammad Ibn Al-Hasan Al-Baghdadi
1 to 2kg whole fish, such as drum fish, barramundi, grey mullet or gilt-head sea bream (you may need 4 fish, depending on the size)
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 teaspoon turmeric
1/2 cup sumac
1/4 cup fresh za'atar or thyme
1/2 teaspoon each of coriander, cumin, and cinnamon
3 cloves of garlic, peeled
1/2 cup toasted walnuts
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
About 3 tablespoons water
Preheat the oven to 220C (450F).
Place all of the stuffing ingredients in a food processor and process into a paste, as pictured above. Add more water, if needed.
Cut 2 to 3 diagonal slits in the fish and rub the oil and the turmeric on the outside and inside of the fish. Stuff the fish with the sumac mixture and close the incision in the fish with kitchen string, tooth picks, or the silicon ties as shown in the picture above.
Place the fish on a roasting rack and bake in the second level of the oven for about 20 minutes or until the fish is flaky. Cooking time will vary according to the size of the fish.
Israeli Couscous with Roasted Butternut Squash and Olives
My husband is not a big fan of ptitim (in Hebrew and maghrbiyya in Arabic) or what the rest of the western world calls Israeli couscous. I have been trying to convince him to let me make it, so when I found an interesting recipe on Epicurious, I decided to push him a bit. He said ok. I found some whole wheat ptitim at the supermarket and I could have bought spelt ptitim, but I didn't want to scare him off too much. This dish calls for preserved lemon which I like very much, but I didn't have any at home, couldn't find any in the olive sections of two different supermarkets, and didn't have time to make any. So, I decided to add some lovely tart Tsuri olives instead that I cracked and pitted. The sweetness of the butternut squash with the tartness of the olives and the crunchy pine nuts and the fragrant hint of cinnamon gave a wonderful texture and taste to this dish. It was a perfect accompaniment to the fish and the salad I made. I think I have converted Mr. BT.
Janna Gur's Carrot and Date Salad
I am in love with this carrot and date salad. I do not like tzimmes in any shape or form, but I really loved this dish. It calls for fresh dates which I have never cooked with.
Fresh dates are high in vitamin C. They are also a special food for Rosh Hashana. Moroccan Jews dip a medjhoul date in anise seeds, sesame seeds and powdered sugar to "mark the new year that is beginning as one of happiness and blessing and peace for all mankind."
The crunchy dates and the cooked carrots were perfect together. And the silan (date honey) did not make the dish too sweet. I will definitely make this again.
The finishing piece to this meal was the semifreddo I made the day before. This is a very easy dish to make and would be perfect for any dinner party. I recommend using a strong-tasting honey such as chestnut, eucalyptus, thistle, or heather. The rosemary was quite subtle, so I will steep more rosemary in the milk next time. You need to factor in the cream that you will be folding in later. It will mute the honey and rosemary flavor.
2 cups goat's milk
3 sprigs of rosemary
2 egg yolks
1/2 cup chestnut honey
Pinch of salt
2 cups heavy cream
Put the goat's milk in a heavy saucepan and heat until the milk is steaming, but not boiling. Turn off the heat and add the rosemary. Let it steep for 45 minutes. Taste the milk to make sure that it has a significant rosemary taste. If not, let it steep for another 20 to 30 minutes.
In a medium size bowl, whisk the egg yolks, honey and salt together.
Strain the milk mixture and place the milk in a clean heavy saucepan. Reheat the milk on medium heat, but do not boil. Gradually whisk the hot milk mixture into yolk mixture; return to same pan. Stir over medium-low heat until custard thickens and leaves a path on back of the spoon when a finger is drawn across (do not boil). Strain into another medium bowl; chill covered until cold.
When the custard is cold, whip the cream to soft, thick peaks. If the cream is added when the custard is still warm, it will melt the cream.

Zac Posen Fall 2013
The balcony above the Plaza Hotel's Terrace Room was the perfect spot to meet Zac Posen for a little pre-show tête-à-tête. "There's such great history here," he said, looking out over the flickering chandeliered space. "Halston showed here. Oscar de la Renta did shows here. Pat Cleveland [the former supermodel and mother of model Anna Cleveland, who wore one of the finale dresses tonight] was like, 'OK, so here's the karma—it's really good.' There's just this feeling of glamour, fantasy, and like I'm continuing a tradition of craft and construction in American fashion." It is a grand statement, yes—we wouldn't expect anything less from this designer—but the room at the Plaza was also the smallest one Posen has ever shown in. Why downsize? He said, "To keep the focus on the clothes."
So let's. Playing with linear silhouettes—emphasis being on the shoulders instead of the waist—Posen proposed a series of looks for smart, decadent work-to-play dressing. "She's unconventional, but she appreciates and loves the historic codes of luxury," he said of this season's muse-customer. Those codes, it seems, come down to two things: tailoring and fabric. The former was especially evident in the shoulders that peaked sharply from jackets, and in the tightly tucked bodices of stretch duchesse dresses. The latter was technical without looking techy. "The tweed is actually a stretch jacquard," Posen explained. "The duchesse is like a scuba, so it's architectural, seamed, and clean." Adding embroidery and metallic thread to many of the pieces made them fancier, while simultaneously eliminating the need for jewelry. (Posen had been reading up on the oil heiress and tastemaker Millicent Rogers and on Wallis Simpson, two of this country's great style influencers, and found himself feeling especially fond of the soutache cording and bugle beads they wore.) But his favorite look—and one of this writer's, too—was a fern-green chiffon dress cut on the bias with just a single seam. Also of note: the burgundy floor-sweeper with flyaway sleeves worn by Catherine McNeil, which was a far cry from the grand-ballgown-Posen of seasons past, but a perfect fit for the Plaza and beyond.

Home to the Book of Kells, biting humour, great craic and moments of disarming charm, Dublin is a small capital with a huge heart
This place needs no introduction. Dublin is, after all, home to the "Black Stuff" (Guinness) and the Book of Kells, to the statue of Molly Malone whose bust beams out from a billion postcards. It's home to some of the island's finest Georgian architecture and boasts a mind-boggling array of must-dos.
The only trouble with the Republic's capital is deciding what to leave out. Dublin boasts a cracking zoo, the 11th-century Christ Church Cathedral, and a plethora of literary pubs befitting its status as one of just five Unesco Cities of Literature on the planet.
You can raise a pint to writers like James Joyce and Bram Stoker, or explore the life and works of poet WB Yeats at the National Library. You can even have a pint with a local for free.
Our advice? Mix things up. There's much more to Dublin city than Trinity College and Temple Bar.

As well as the National Museum, what about a trip to the Little Museum of Dublin, or the Dublin Writers Museum? Did you know you can buy a bar of lemon soap at Sweny's Chemist – just as Leopold Bloom did in the pages of Ulysses a century ago?
Capital coastline
While it's easy to get caught up in the city centre, it's also worth remembering that Dublin is a capital between the mountains and the sea. A ride on the suburban Dart train whisks you north to cliff walks around Howth, or south to the coastal villages of Blackrock, Monkstown, Dun Laoghaire, Glasthule, Dalkey and Killiney. It's in these seaside gems that you'll find some of the city's best seafood, waterfront festivals and sandy beaches.
Recently, Dublin Bay has even tempted two water-loving visitors to postpone their stay indefinitely – two resident dolphins. Watch out for them playing in the wake of yachts or paddle-surfers as they glide from Dun Laoghaire's Victorian pier to the historic Dalkey Island.
A city in flux
You can't step in the same river twice, the Greek philosopher Heraclitus once said.
It's ditto for Dublin –– the city is constantly changing, closing one door to open several more. Visit today, and you'll find funky boutiques, old-school bars and design collectives making a scene out of Smock Alley or South William Street.
Come back in a year's time, and there will be a whole new energy somewhere else – fuelled by the fashionistas and baristas of the future.
"Better pass boldly into that other world, in the full glory of some passion, than fade and wither dismally with age," as James Joyce, Dublin's most famous literary son, wrote.
It seems this decadent city is taking him at his word.

The story of how people with disparate personalities learn to manage each other is by now so hackneyed it's almost a wonder any playwright or screenwriter even bothers.
Netflix queues and DVD shelves are littered with dramas about warring couples and testy police officers assigned to the same case. But give credit where credit is due. Neil Simon may not have invented the drama of the annoying roommate, but he certainly gave us a shining template in his 1965 Broadway hit "The Odd Couple."
Without Oscar Madison and Felix Ungar hurling insults over a plate of linguini or battling it out with a can of aerosol, we might never have had the chance to laugh at future pairings such as Neal Page and Del Griffith in "Planes, Trains and Automobiles." And the world would be poorer for it.
Pioneer Theatre Company's Artistic Director Karen Azenberg, who directs its production, comes equipped with all the tools to do "The Odd Couple" even justice. Her credentials as a New York City theater professional aside, her father, Emanuel Azenberg, worked alongside Simon for decades, producing many of his plays.
Imagine yourself as a young composer or musician, your father working years with George Gershwin. You get the idea.
Expectations run high, then, the second we cast our gaze on Pioneer Theatre Company's eye-popping set, meticulous right down to the faux-baroque stereo cabinet with mesh-cloth speakers. The time machine, it seems, is obsolete compared with the talents of scenic designer Michael Schweikardt.
The cast is similarly impressive and attuned to the play's early 1960s milieu. The opening scene of a card game between Oscar Madison and his cabal of kvetching, yammering buddies reeks of beleaguered male camaraderie in the best possible way, popping and crackling along to Simon's wonderful dialogue. Oscar's divorce, a prelude to the troubles that will bring Felix Ungar under his wing, is more of a creative disaster to be managed than a personal shortfall to bewail.
"I'm 800 dollars behind on my alimony," Oscar, played earthy and gritty by Mark La Mura, tells his friends. "Let's up the stakes!"
The gnawing gusto and rhythmic energy of Simon's wry humor, built largely on conversational tangents, churns merrily along from there. La Mura's Oscar is so thoroughly portrayed it's easy to feel you're an eavesdropper inside his disaster-strewn apartment.
The speed bumps hit, as they should, with the arrival of wan, simpering Felix, played by Jeff Talbott. It's hard to judge whether Talbott's sometimes astringent version of Felix overdoes the character by half, or does it just enough justice so that we, too, see him through Oscar's weary, had-it-up-to-here eyes.
"You make the same sound for pain or happiness!" Oscar tells Felix early on.
The comic nerve of Oscar and Felix's bickering hits its high point, as does the production, with the arrival of the Pigeon sisters, Cecily and Gwendolyn, played by Helen Anker and Amy Bodnar, respectively. Watching all four characters negotiate the boundaries of their collective first date, complete with nervous giggling over a burnt cut of meat and Felix's endearing despair over his own divorce, is theater bliss.
There's no denying the aged quality of much of Simon's humor, and the pretext of Oscar's guilty conscience at Felix's fate by play's end feels all too forced and not nearly convincing in our age of ruthless irony and cynicism. The arc of Simon's script feels in the end more a collection of riotous set pieces than an interlocking whole.
But it's all great fun, and a heartfelt reminder of how chance and necessity reveal the best in people we may not get along with, but learn to care about all the same. Life is odd that way.
'The Odd Couple'
When • March 22-April 6. Mondays-Thursdays, 7:30 p.m.; Fridays, 8 p.m.; Saturdays, 2 p.m. and 8 p.m.
Where • Simmons Pioneer Memorial Theatre, 300 S. 1400 East, Salt Lake City.
Tickets • $25-$44. Call 801-581-6961 or visit www.pioneertheatre.org for more information.
Bottom line • A more-than-agile production showcasing the full spectrum of Simon's signature humor, from broad to narrow. But given a script that reads more like a series of set pieces, don't expect profundity. Two hours and 20 minutes, including a 15-minute intermission.

Justin Bieber settles lawsuit with former bodyguard
Listen to Justin Bieber on iHeartRadio
At least one of Justin Bieber's legal issues is being put to rest.
"The Hollywood Reporter" says the pop star has reached a settlement in a lawsuit filed against him by a former bodyguard last year.
Moshe Benabou sued Justin last January for assault and battery, after an incident that took place in October 2012. The singer allegedly attacked Benabou backstage at a concert after a confrontation. The bodyguard also claims Justin unfairly fired him after the incident. He asked for overtime wages as well as unspecified damages for the assault in his lawsuit.
The details of their settlement have been kept private. Justin will no longer have to attend the trial previously scheduled for February 18th, freeing him up for the February 14th court date set for his DUI arrest in Miami.

At Work
Honky-Tonk Hero: Talking with Henry HorensteinBy Eric Banks
I first noticed the work of Henry Horenstein when he published his 1987 book, Racing Days, a photographic diary in gritty black and white, compiled largely in the now mostly defunct northeastern thoroughbred circuit. I knew his name at the time to be vaguely familiar from other contexts, though I hadn't yet made the connection to the body of work he'd done beginning in the 1970s of the world of country music. Seeing the photographs in the new edition of Honky Tonk published together, I finally got it—I'd been admiring these pictures of bluegrass pickers and hillbilly crooners for years without realizing their author. Horenstein captured the extremes of the country-western world over the years, from the Hee Haw familiars onstage at the Grand Ole Opry to old-time cult favorites like the Blue Sky Boys; from seventies country-pop meteors like Jeannie C. Riley to such bona-fide C&W stars as Conway Twitty and Porter Wagoner. But what makes Honky Tonk such a terrific document are the photographs Horenstein took of the places where the music was heard—legendary joints like Tootsie's Orchid Lounge in Nashville and long-gone venues like the Hillbilly Ranch in Boston—and the regulars inside.
With the republication of Honky Tonk, I spoke to Horenstein, now based in Boston and a professor at the Rhode Island School of Design, about how a nice young guy from the University of Chicago got involved in documenting what the "King of the Strings" Joe Maphis summed up as the "dim lights, thick smoke, and loud, loud music."

Brevard, N.C. - Head Coach Paul Hamilton and the Brevard College football team is proud to announce their 2009 football schedule. The Tornados will play 11 games across five states in their second season as full members of NCAA Division II and the South Atlantic Conference.
Brevard finished 1-9 last season in their first year as full members of NCAA Division II and the South Atlantic Conference. Rising senior linebackers Stanley Jones and Brandon Rawls were named 2nd team All-SAC selections, while Jones led the conference with 9.8 tackles per game. The two defensive stalwarts headline the first four-year senior class since Brevard reinstated the football program in 2006.
The Tornados will open their fourth season on August 29 in Jacksonville, Fla. against Edward Waters College. The Tigers, independent members of the NAIA, finished 3-8 last season, and feature rising junior Jonathan Johnson, who averaged 17.1 yards per punt return last season and was named an NAIA All-Independent Team member. Kick-off of the inaugural meeting between the two schools is scheduled for 5 p.m.
Next the Tornados head to Pikeville, Ky. for a meeting with the Pikeville College Bears on September 5 at 6 p.m. Last season, in the only meeting between the two schools, Brevard scored a 20-17 win at Brevard Memorial Stadium. The Bears, members of the NAIA's Mid-South Conference, have a new coach in Joe Johnson and are led by rising senior Kyle Chilton, who last season was a 1st team All-Conference selection as both a kicker and a punter.
Brevard's 2009 home opener is September 12 against Chowan University. The Hawks rallied from 17 points down to beat the Tornados, 23-20, last season in Murfreesboro, N.C., but Brevard holds a 2-1 edge in the all-time series. Chowan finished 2-8 last season, with a 1-6 record in their first campaign as members of the Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association. Rising senior quarterback CJ Westler, who was honored as a 2nd team All-CIAA selection last season and led the league in total yards and touchdowns, will lead his team into Brevard Memorial Stadium at 2 p.m.
The final non-conference game for the Tornados comes on September 19 against Southern Virginia University. Last season, the Knights posted a 3-8 record as independent NAIA members. Two rising juniors, defensive back Nich Deniz and tight end Brett Petty, were NAIA All-Independent team honorees, with Deniz leading the team with 70 tackles. The first meeting between SVU and Brevard will kick off at 4 p.m. at Brevard Memorial Stadium.
The South Atlantic Conference portion of the season begins on September 26 in Hickory, N.C., against Lenoir-Rhyne University. The Bears have won both meetings between the schools, including last year's 40-14 win in Brevard. Rising junior defensive back Marcus Shuford led the Bears last season to a 3-8 mark, along the way leading the team with 78 tackles and four interceptions. This season's meeting kicks off at 7 p.m.
The month of October starts with a trip to Wingate University on the 3rd. The Bulldogs beat Brevard last season, 44-13, and won their first seven games on their way to an 8-3 season. Rising junior Nelson Woods, who ran for 1,238 yards and nine touchdowns last season on his way to being named 1st team All-SAC and 3rd-team All-Region by Don Hansen's Football Gazette, will welcome the Tornados to Irwin Belk Stadium at 1:30 p.m.
On October 10, the Tornados will host Tusculum College at 6 p.m. Coach Frankie DeBusk's Pioneers posted the finest season in program history in 2008, going 9-4 and beating Albany State in the first round of the Division II Super Region II playoffs, 34-22, before falling to Delta State in the second round, 27-19. Tusculum also captured a share of the SAC title with a 5-2 conference mark. Last season's match-up between Brevard and Tusculum was a shoot-out, with the Pioneers winning, 55-42. The Pioneers must replace quarterback Corey Russell, who last season was the SAC's Offensive Player of the Year and a finalist for the Harlon Hill Trophy.
Brevard hosts I-26 rival Mars Hill College on October 17. The Lions went 7-4 last season and downed the Tornados, 28-14. Rising sophomore wide receiver John Brown was named SAC Offensive Freshman of the Year after leading the conference in all-purpose yards, and rising senior cornerback Deshon Nesbitt led the SAC with five interceptions en route to 1st team All-SAC and 2nd team Football Gazette All-Region honors. This year's game starts at 6 p.m.
Brevard travels to vaunted Mossy Creek and Jefferson City, Tenn. on October 24 for a 1 p.m. game against Carson-Newman College. The Eagles and legendary coach Ken Sparks downed the Tornados last season, 34-3, and finished 7-4 with a share of the SAC title. Carson-Newman earned a Super Region II playoff birth last year, falling to Valdosta State, 24-20, in the first round. Rising senior quarterback Alex Good, a 2nd team All-SAC selection, heads an offense that led all of Division II in rushing yardage per game last season.
Brevard's 2009 home finale and Homecoming game comes against Catawba College on October 31 at 1 p.m. Last year, the Catawba Indians scored a hard-fought 24-10 win over the Tornados and finished 6-4. Rising sophomore linebacker Lakeem Perry was last season's SAC Freshman Defensive Player of the Year after finishing second on the team with 74 tackles.
The 2009 regular season finale comes on November 7, when the Tornados play Newberry College at 7 p.m. One of three teams to share the SAC championship last season, Newberry went 6-4 and beat Brevard, 17-0. Newberry features a new head coach in Todd Knight and a speedster at wide receiver in Kelton Tindal, a 1st team All-SAC member who scored eight touchdowns last season.
The 2009 NCAA Division II playoff field will be announced on Sunday, November 8, and first round games will take place on November 14.

Ted (BS 2009) and Bethany Rydmark
"One of the most important reasons to travel is to know what it feels like to be a foreigner." - A. A. Gill
Not until I had been off North American soil for three months did I fully realize how much I missed home. South America was still "America;" I don't know what I expected, but I didn't expect to feel so out of place, so distant, so foreign. On a daily basis, I found myself in situations where I was completely dependent on local people for the most basic necessities: food, water, transportation, communication. There was no "Spanglish" spoken here. Read the rest of this entry »

Mariah Carey Tops 'Time' Chart Of 'Ultimate Pop Stardom'
Listen to Mariah Carey Radio on iHeartRadio
Time magazine has named Mariah Carey the "ultimate pop star" of the past 70 years.
The publication has researched and created an infographic based on the chart success of over 50 artists since 1960. The tally combines the number of Billboard top ten hits by each artist and the longevity of each career. It finds that, statistically, Mariah is the most dependable bet when it comes to producing a sure-fire hit.
Mariah's been the most consistent in getting songs into the top ten, starting with "Vision of Love" back in 1990 up through "Obsessed" in 2009.
Rihanna is runner-up as the "ultimate pop star, and the top five is rounded out by Usher, the Beatles and Madonna. The King of pop Michael Jackson comes in at number eight on the tally.

Ulcerative colitis treatment usually involves either drug therapy or surgery.
Several categories of drugs may be effective in treating ulcerative colitis. The type you take will depend on the severity of your condition. The drugs that work well for some people may not work for others, so it may take time to find a medication that helps you. In addition, because some drugs have serious side effects, you'll need to weigh the benefits and risks of any treatment.
Anti-inflammatory drugs are often the first step in the treatment of inflammatory bowel disease. They include:
Corticosteroids. These drugs, which include prednisone and hydrocortisone, are generally reserved for moderate to severe ulcerative colitis that doesn't respond to other treatments. They are given orally, intravenously, or by enema or suppository, depending on the location affected.
Corticosteroids have numerous side effects, including a puffy face, excessive facial hair, night sweats, insomnia and hyperactivity. More-serious side effects include high blood pressure, diabetes, osteoporosis, bone fractures, cataracts, glaucoma and increased chance of infection. They are not usually given long term.
These drugs also reduce inflammation, but they do so by suppressing the immune system response that starts the process of inflammation. For some people, a combination of these drugs works better than one drug alone. Corticosteroids also may be used with an immune system suppressor — the corticosteroids can induce remission, while the immune system suppressors can help maintain it.
Immunosuppressant drugs include:
You may need additional medications to manage specific symptoms of ulcerative colitis. Always talk with your doctor before using over-the-counter medications. He or she may recommend one or more of the following.
Surgery can often eliminate ulcerative colitis. But that usually means removing your entire colon and rectum (proctocolectomy). In most cases, this involves a procedure called ileoanal anastomosis that eliminates the need to wear a bag to collect stool. Your surgeon constructs a pouch from the end of your small intestine. The pouch is then attached directly to your anus, allowing you to expel waste relatively normally.
In some cases a pouch is not possible. Instead, surgeons create a permanent opening in your abdomen (ileal stoma) through which stool is passed for collection in an attached bag.
You will need more-frequent screening for colon cancer because of your increased risk. The recommended schedule will depend on the location of your disease and how long you have had it.
If your disease involves more than your rectum, you will require surveillance colonoscopy every one to two years. You will need a surveillance colonoscopy beginning as soon as eight years after diagnosis if the majority of your colon is involved, or 10 years if only the left side of your colon is involved.
If in addition to ulcerative colitis you have a rare condition called primary sclerosing cholangitis, you will need to begin surveillance colonoscopy every one to two years after you have been diagnosed with ulcerative colitis.

Stell and Blocker Earn All-State Honors
Liberty women's soccer defender Lauren Stell and goalkeeper Karen Blocker have been voted second team all-state by the Virginia Sports Information Directors (VaSID), as announced by the organization.
Stell and Blocker give the Lady Flames' program 17 total all-state selections and nine second team members all-time.
Despite spending the majority of her time on defense in 2010, Stell concluded the season third on the team with nine points on four goals and one assist, earning Big South All-Conference first team honors. On Sept. 4, she was named Big South Attacking Player of the Week for scoring back-to-back game-winning goals against American and Old Dominion. Stell's pair of performances helped the Lady Flames achieve their best start to a season in program history.
Later in the month, on Sept. 22, she posted another game-winning goal in Liberty's 2-0 win over UNC Asheville. In addition to her quartet of tallies, Stell was instrumental as a defender, helping Liberty finish second in the conference in fewest goals allowed (16), goals-against average (0.74) and third in shutouts (9).
Blocker closed her career as Liberty's all-time shutout leader with 20, and posted a program-best goals-against average of 1.33. She concluded her tenure No. 2 on the school's career saves list with 339.
Blocker was voted to the Big South All-Conference second team, finishing second in the conference behind Radford's Che' Brown in goals-against average (0.74), save percentage (.843) and shutouts (9). On Sept. 25, the Bowie, Md., native was named Big South Defensive Player of the Week for her performance in wins over Presbyterian College and UNC Asheville.

Just wanted to make some comments about ISKA MMA.
Fight Ikon will be running under their governenance and it is the first show I have really been exposed to under such governance. I have to say, after reviewing their rules and policies... they are MILES ahead of establishing a genuine professional governance of UK MMA than anyone else
They are also running Judges and refrees courses for ISKA MMA, which will help establish some standards in these areas too.
I have heard negative things before, but isn't this the potential path of least resistance for governance and profession credibility?

With the holiday today, Martin Luther King Day, and Black History Month getting ready to kick-off along with Savannah's Black Heritage Festival beginning; I had to sit back and think about how honored I was to have the SCLC President Isaac Newton Farris, Jr stay at the Dresser Palmer House this weekend. Not only is he SCLC President, but also Dr Martin Luther King Jr's nephew. Mr. Farris was born in Atlanta, Georgia and attended his uncle's alma mater, Morehouse College where he majored in Political Science. Mr. Farris' background has given him a unique prospective and real life experience on some of the most pressing issues of our times. Growing up in one of America's most socially and politically active families has provided him with a front row seat, witnessing how policy is formulated and implemented.
Even though the SCLC kept his schedule pretty full, he did find some time to enjoy the company of the other guests at the Inn during Wine & Hors D'oeuvres Hour. It was my pleasure to give him some history of the house and show him some of that Southern Hospitality that we are known for here in Savannah. My favorite part was sharing some of the rich Black Heritage/History in Savannah with some of the guests, especially the tie Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. has with Second African Baptist Church. Did you know that Dr. King preached the first draft of his "I Have a Dream" speech at this church?
During the entire month of January and February Dresser Palmer House is partnering with three other Savannah Inns in a tribute to Black History month. Call Now to Reserve your Black Heritage Package.
The Dresser Palmer House is a premiere Bed and Breakfast in the Historic District of Savannah, GA.

Liberty Volleyball Announces Addition of 5 Student-Athletes
Liberty Volleyball Head Coach Shane Pinder and his coaching staff have announced the addition of five student-athletes to the Lady Flames' 2014 squad. Rachel Morris, Sirena Vorster, Hannah Weidner, Anna Willey and Hannah Williams have all signed commitments to attend Liberty University for the 2014-15 academic year.
"Overall, this is a very talented class," Pinder said. "We're bringing in multiple positions. All of them have played at a high level and know what it takes to win. They will all fill in some positions with depth, while some will be able to compete for spots right away. We're excited about the future with this class."
Rachel Morris (S, 5-10, New Brunswick, Canada/Liberty Christian Academy)
Rachel Morris joins the Lady Flames after competing for the Liberty Christian Academy varsity team for four seasons. She helped the Bulldogs to a State semifinal appearance this season, while also earning first team All-State honors. Morris has been named to the all-conference team each of the last two years, while earning first team all-state mention in 2012. A solid all-around athlete, Morris has won team and individual state track & field championships.
Morris will be the first LCA graduate since Courtney Cooper (2009-11) to compete for the Liberty University volleyball team.
"Rachel Morris is a local kid, playing for LCA," Pinder said. "She is athletic and versatile, having played setter, outside and some right side. She has the potential to be a pretty good defensive specialist. Rachel is someone who will make everyone around her better."
Sirena Vorster (MB, 6-2, Wellington, Fla./Wellington HS)
Sirena Vorster, a middle blocker, comes to Liberty from Wellington High School, where she led her team to an undefeated regular season and district runner-up finish this season. As a sophomore at Timber Creek High School, her team won a district title. Also in 2011, Vorster was named an AAU All-American. She also competed in basketball while in high school.
Vorster's older sister, Jade, is a sophomore on Hawaii's volleyball team, and was a first team All-Big West selection as a freshman in 2012.
"Sirena Vorster is a middle blocker, where we'll be graduating Kendle Rollins this year," Pinder said. "She has good size, and is a very good middle, with a strong presence at the net. Sirena is a really good attacker off of one foot. She is a really good leader, and is one of those people who adds great value to our team."
Hannah Weidner (RS, 6-1, Shorewood, Minn./Minnetonka HS)
Hannah Weidner has been a four-year all-conference selection for Minnetonka High School, setting her school's record for career kills, at 1,170. She was named to the Minnesota All-State team this season, hitting .576 while scoring 303 kills. During each of the last three seasons, she received her team's Offensive Player of the Year award. In 2013, she was tabbed to the All-Metro third team. Weidner earned Star-Tribune Athlete of the Week honors as a sophomore.
Weidner's mom, Angie, played volleyball at Memphis, while her dad, Kirk, played volleyball at Carleton College and later competed in professional beach volleyball.
"Hannah Weidner is a true right-side hitter, and has a right-handed swing at the net," Pinder said. "She puts up a very big block. Hannah is a very physical player with a heavy arm. She also uses a lot of shots, and can terminate points. She has a high volleyball IQ as well, and brings a lot to our team."
Anna Willey (S, 6-1, Davenport, Iowa/Bettendorf HS)
Anna Willey comes to Liberty from Bettendorf High School in Davenport, Iowa, where she captained her team to an Iowa 5A state championship in 2012. She has earned all-conference mention each of the last two years, including first team this season. Willey was voted to the 5A All-District Team and 5A State All-Tournament team as a junior. She has been selected to compete in the Iowa All-Star match, as one of the top 32 seniors in the state.
In club volleyball, Willey played on the Iowa High Performance team in 2011 and 2012, finishing first and second in the nation. Her older sister, Julia, currently plays volleyball at Taylor.
"We're excited about Anna Willey," Pinder said. "She has really good size, and is very athletic. She plays for a very good high school and club team, which run similar tempos to ours. She should have a chance to step in and compete right away. She has all of the skills in the position to make our team very competitive."
Hannah Williams (DS, 5-8, Yorktown, Va./Grafton HS)
Hannah Williams currently competes for Grafton High School, after three years at Hampton Christian High School. She leads the district in digs this season. As a junior, she was named Metro Conference Player of the Year, along with garnering first team all-state mention. She led her team to a conference title and VISAA Division 3 runner-up finish last season, and was runner-up for VISAA Division 3 Player of the Year. In 2011, she led her conference in kills, and earned VISAA All-State mention and selection to the All-Metro Conference team.
Williams' father, Mark, played volleyball at Penn State and also competed on All-Air Force teams.
"Hannah Williams is a DS/libero," Pinder said. "We've been able to have some good defensive specialists over the last few years. She has a very good serve receive platform, and also has a good range of motion. Hannah is very competitive, and will give us tremendous depth at the position."

My 3 year old daughter is very difficult. She starts preschool tomorrow and I don't think it will last long. She has issues with being told what to do, repeated tantrums, defiant behavior, tries to annoy on purpose, etc.. As we were visiting preschool she wasn't listening and sitting with the other children on the carpet. It hurt when the other kids were giving her the stink face of "what's wrong with that girl?" :( The doctor knows we've had issues beyond normal 2-3 year old behavior. He wrote "oppositional behavior" on her preschool physical. We are probably going to a pediatric specialist soon. In the meantime I ran across this diagnosis online and I think it could definitely be a possibility. Please share your experiences with me.
How did you know?
How was it diagnosed?
Were they diagnosed with anything else?
What is their treatment?
Do they ever get "better"?
Anything else you can share.
Well she made it one day in preschool. They don't think they can do it. They think she needs to be evaluated and may need a one-on-one aid. They were afraid she was going to hurt herself throwing herself on the floor. She just can't listen or sit still. She was going limp on them too when they tried to pick her up. As we were driving away she said "bye little girls! See you soon!" My heart broke at that point.

Brevard, N.C. - Brevard College senior first baseman Randy O'Dell and senior transfer Tarron Robinson were recognized among the Players to Watch in the Southeast Region in the preseason ABCA/Rawlings All-Region team.
O'Dell was recognized as one of the Players to watch, while Robinson was highlighted as one of the Newcomers to watch as the Tornados begin their fourth season in the South Atlantic Conference.
O'Dell, a senior first baseman from Durham, N.C., was selected to the 2011 All-SAC Second Team, after a season in which he was among the SAC batting leaders with a .373 batting average. O'Dell led the Tornados with 53 hits on the season, 10 doubles, four home runs and 33 RBIs, as well as a .528 slugging percentage and had a fielding percentage of .986 in 335 chances.
Robinson makes his debut with Brevard this season after transferring from North Carolina, where he played first base and outfield under Coach Mike Fox. Robinson saw action in 46 games with the Tarheels and will be in the mix for playing time immediately with the Tornados on the diamond.
The Brevard College baseball team begins the 2012 season on the road as they travel to Due West, S.C. to take on Erskine College. First pitch of the season is on Tuesday, February 7th, at 2 p.m.

Last night, while walking the dog I heard some guy screaming and cursing at somebody on his cell phone. Much of what he was saying was accusing his friend of not being a real friend because he wasn't supporting him vocally in some kind of conflict. It bothered me a bit because it reminded me of the types of manipulative arguments that my so-called "friends" used to make.
For review: What did the Buddha say is a bad friend and what did the Buddha say is a real friend?
As I see it, true friendship is defined by goodwill (metta), with no strings attached.
Typically, though, there is a very common misunderstanding of what a good friend really is. It seems as though most people define a friend as a person with whom we associate with for mutual benefit, like a sort of selfish alliance or sports team. So, the friend of my friend must also be my friend, even if this other person is a scumbag. And also, the enemy of my friend must also be my enemy, even if my friend was in the wrong and my friend's enemy was in the right in this conflict. This is the way that allied nations might turn a blind eye to eachother's war crimes or how athletes might turn a blind eye to teammates cheating, or using steroids.
The common notion of friendships also implies arbitrary social obligations. Not all people have the same interests or the same degree of want or need for social interaction. So, a "friend" may ask you to go out and do something you don't want to do, and if you reject him continuously, he may begin to question your friendship, even though your goodwill towards him hasn't changed.

After technique, the next most important ingredients in the sound of your guitar are its pickups and strings - which makes those a definite highlight of the EVH lineup. Take the Wolfgang Neck Humbucker Pickup and Wolfgang Bridge Humbucker Pickup for instance: it took more than 80 different prototypes before Eddie gave these the thumbs-up, so there's no doubt that they've been refined to perfection. When it comes to strings, you can get EVH Premium Electric Strings in 9-46 (the same gauges used by Eddie himself) or 9-42 if you'd like them a little lighter.
The best thing about EVH accessories may be that pickups and strings are only the tip of the iceberg. In this section, you'll also find straps, cables, picks, potentiometers and even an easy-to-use D tuning system, the EVH D-Tuna. If you rock EVH amps and cabinets, don't forget to take a look at the EVH 5150 III Amp Head Cover and 5150 III 412 Speaker Cabinet Cover as well - they'll keep the dust off your hardware to make sure it always looks as good as it sounds.
Whether or not you use EVH instruments and hardware, there are EVH accessories that can definitely help you out onstage. And if you do play EVH gear, you're even luckier, because you can take advantage of everything that this selection has to offer. It takes a lot of practice and technique to play like Eddie, but it also takes the right gear, and you're off to a good start looking for it right here.

Other pieces in the exhibition take on Richter as the god of abstraction.
The most recent activity had a high point of 3.6 on the Richter Scale.
Richter still lives among FLDS friends and family, many of whom no longer speak to him.
Where Richter took moments in the news and gave them a genteel blur, Fabian Marcaccio goes for gross-out goop instead.
"It makes me feel old, dude," Richter, who is now 33 and diving headfirst back into an acting career, tells The Daily Beast.
It was found to be much larger than Richter could have anticipated.
Carlyle didn't suit him, and Richter evidently made his head ache.
Won't you come in and rest yourself until Mr. Richter returns?
When at last he had been admitted, Mr. Richter whispered to Stephen his name.
Richter compiled from his drawings we can hardly overestimate the extent of his reading.

Intro with Joshua's digitized voice (from 1983's WarGames) asking "shall we play a game?"
I've spent the better part of the past couple of days playing a game. I was chasing down some odd polling behavior observed in one of our internal prototype applications. It ultimately turned out to be some bad assumptions I made around how some code I wrote should behave. The rate limiting policy around one of the open APIs I was using was obfuscated.
The scenario reminded me of a challenge I faced earlier in my career at Netscape. We were trying to figure out how Netscape/Mozilla open source should function (early on in Mozilla's life… pre-independence from AOL; e.g. 1998). We struggled managing corporate needs, sometimes around confidentiality, in the context of open source. Mozilla wouldn't work if things that impacted the open source software on the Netscape-side of the engineering house weren't openly discussed. As predicted, innovation suffered when significant code contributions being made by Netscape weren't transparent. Netscape was faced with staying quiet about its intentions, or being open with them. Open sourcing the code (e.g. having an "open" API) wasn't enough. The process by which the code/API was to evolve and function had to be open.
Netscape/AOL weren't able to let go of key, though seemingly small, aspects of the project and innovation waned. Mozilla/Firefox didn't explode until there was a formal transition from AOL to Mozilla Foundation many years later. While Firefox has pushed the industry forward in bounds since then, there were years of browser industry confusion and impedance due to a non-committal controlling interest.
The parallel I'm drawing between Netscape/Mozilla's history and today's "open" web APIs is that there are key players chokeholding the rest of the industry with inadequately supported, poorly communicated, API access policies. Access policies, while sometimes documented, are highly irregular and poorly communicated. The result is a developing ecosystem around these APIs that has to decide whether or not to play the API access guessing game. When a developer using some of today's open APIs wakes up and rolls out of bed each morning they wonder "will my application work today?" That's untenable in the long term.
Just as it was Netscape's right to control the bits it wanted to, Kings of today's API hill have a right to do whatever they want. To those who've been successful at creating unyielding demand; hats off! Use that power wisely however, and learn from history's mistakes.
To APIs crying uncle due to the operational overload of their popularity I recommend moving to an event driven API access model (ala Gnip). When that's simply not possible (though I'd argue it always is) use something like SUP to minimize constipation in the rest of the digestive system.
If you're throttling access to your API because you don't know what your business model is, hurry up, get it sorted, and communicate intentions. If you don't, industry will find a way to pass you by.

WALNUT - A crane trundled onto the Mt. San Antonio College campus and hoisted a 23-foot, 3,000-pound aluminum dome onto the roof of the science building.
That dome, which will eventually house a 16-inch telescope, could be considered the cherry on top of the college's astronomy sundae.
Mt. SAC already houses a planetarium and has a "very strong" astronomy program, but the new observatory will take it to the next level, said Associate Dean of Natural Science Matt Judd.
"It's going to allow (students) to do some first-class research," Judd said.
The shiny metal dome, which can easily be seen from motorists passing by the campus, will also be an obvious reminder to the surrounding community of what Mt. SAC has to offer, Judd said.
"It really helps raise the awareness," he said. "This, people are going to see."
To get the dome in place Friday morning, the crew operating the crane had to perform some unusual maneuvers - a "blind lift" - Judd said.
The meant the crane was located on one side of a nearby building, reached over that building, grabbed the dome, and lifted it into place without the crane operator being able to see a thing.
"We were a little nervous," Judd said. "It was pretty cool, though."
School officials were a bit worried that stormy weather would affect the lift, but Judd said the wind was calm, and rain was negligible.
"Everything fell into place," he said.
The observatory won't be functional until sometime in late January, but the placement of the astronomy dome marks a significant step in a project five years in the making, Judd said.
Once completed, the observatory will not only allow students to look at more distant celestial objects, it will be connected to a network that can beam the images right into their classrooms.
The observatory will also be regularly opened to the public for viewing events, Judd said.
"This is going to be a lot of fun for us," he said.
Students are eager to use the telescope, according to Heather Jones, director of the Mt. SAC planetarium.
Thomas Harmonson, an 18-year-old animation student, is one of them. He said the telescope "says great things about" Mt. SAC.
"I'm actually in the astronomy class, so I'm really excited," Harmonson said.
The observatory is still a construction site, but Jones said it's "inspiring" to see.
"It's going to be a beautiful telescope," she said.

It's cool, but...
By Leona the Architect
from Chicago, IL
I love the watch, but it cannot be viewed unless you have two hands free (one to press the button). Only a problem when you're rushing to something while carrying things. Also, after one day's wear in a corporate office the bottom (inside wrist) portion of the band was already chipped of it's black coating. Considering the cost, I certainly wasn't expecting wear to show that quickly.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Fun, but classic
By Always looking for something unique
from Annapolis, Maryland
I was so excited to receive the watch and once I read the directions thoroughly as to how to set it, it has been keeping great time! The size may be a little bulky for a petite woman. I have found it to have an elegant look and have chosen not to shorten the wristband, leaving it loose as a bracelet. I alternate it with my white ceramic watch, which was considerably more expensive, so it's the best of all worlds at a great price.I have been watching for any scratching since I wear it under all kinds of circumstances, but to date, it remains unmarred and beautiful. This is a good choice for those who like to make a fashion statement with something just a little different than the norm and at a reasonable price!

I use it every day as a watch and a bracelet. Love the unique look. Have gotten many compliments on it.Sometimes it feels very heavy on my arm.

Prompt delivery & good packaging. Easy transaction. Women's "smaller" watch is still a bit bulky.... Otherwise, good stuff. Repeat buyer and happy buyer. I'll be back, thanks!

Tornados Visit Pfeiffer in Nonconference DualOctober 15, 2013
BC seeks its first road win of the season
The Brevard College men's soccer team wraps up a two-match road trip when it visits Pfeiffer in a nonconference bout in Misenheimer, N.C. at NE Lefko Field Wednesday afternoon at 3 p.m.
• On Saturday, the Tornados fell to Wingate, 3-0, in a conference match and were outshot 21-3. Wingate struck for two quick goals in the 70th and 71st minute to put the match out of reach.
• BC (3-7) has won more matches this season (three) than last season (two). However, the Tornados are winless (0-5) on the road.
• Heath Turner is the only Tornado to start every match this season. Ryan McPhillips, Winston Haddock, Augusto Isern and Alec Goettl have started all but one. Turner is second in the South Atlantic Conference with 46 saves while McPhillips paces the team with five goals, 11 points and shots (16). 20 different Tornados have recorded a shot during the 2013 campaign.
• Pfeiffer sits at 5-6-1 on the season while riding a two-match win streak. The Falcons are amidst a four-match home stretch and are 3-1 at home this season. PU defeated North Greenville, 4-3, Saturday and rallied from three goals back to claim the victory.
• Eight Falcons have accumulated double digit shots on the season while Nathan Regis leads the way with 22. Regis paces the squad in goals (four) and points (10). Goalkeeper Nicolas Dulac is the only Falcon to start every match while sporting a 1.83 goals against average and 48 saves.
• BC and Pfeiffer have played each other evenly the last three matches while each team has won one match while last season's match resulted in a 1-1 draw.
• BC head coach and Athletic Director Juan Mascaro enters his seventh season at the helm for the Tornados while assistant coach Bradley Morrison is in his first year.
