The Cyclones scored three goals in the first 13:11 of the game to take control of the contest.
The first goal came 30 seconds into the game as the ball bounced off of a War Eagle into the net for a goal.
Russellville scored its second goal of the half on a penalty kick by Miguel Nava. After the initial kick was saved by the War Eagles goalkeeper, Nava sent his second try into the net to give Russellville a 2-0 lead.
Only minutes later, Jose Crisostomo got into the act as he netted a kick using his heel. Crisostomo's first score of the contest made it 3-0 with 26:49 left in the first half.
Jahaziel Martinez nearly scored with a shot that bounced off the left side of the crossbar with five minutes left in the half.
Seth Grace gave the Cyclones a 4-0 lead with a blazing shot with 39 seconds remaining in the first half.
Russellville opened the second half with a goal as Nava earned an assist with a pass to Crisostomo, who scored to make it 5-0 two minutes into the half.
Once again, the Cyclones struck quickly as Dennis Molina set up Landon Short, who scored with a header to give Russellville a 6-0 lead.
Meanwhile, the War Eagles hardly advanced the ball past midfield as the stifling Cyclones defense controlled possession.
The Cyclones used a nifty header by Short to set up a a goal after a corner kick to make it 7-0.
Grace finished off the Cyclones' offensive showcase with his second goal of the day, which came on a penalty kick to extend Russellville's lead to 8-0.
The War Eagles finally found the net with just under one minute to play in the game to set the final score at 8-1.
Crisostomo and Grace both finished the day with two goals each, while Short and Nava had one goal each.
Cyclones head coach Jared Fuller complimented his team's ability to control possession throughout the game.
"We kept the ball out of the back for no stupid goals," Fuller said. "We had our defenders up as midfielders and kept the ball under control."
With the Cyclones playing in nearly 24 hours after the first game, Fuller emphasized the need for rest.
"It was great to give other guys playing time," Fuller said. "We could get rest and not get anyone hurt."
Even though the weather turned out to be pleasant Thursday, the soggy field made it difficult at times for teams to execute as the ball came to rest multiple times in puddles.
"More skilled teams have more difficulty on a wet field," Fuller said. "We pumped 5,000 gallons off of it last night and 2,000 today. We just had to do the best with what God gave us."
The Cyclones will enjoy the comforts of Cyclone Stadium today as they play in the quarterfinal round at 5 p.m.

BERLIN – Live music outside the Atlantic Hotel and continuously running refrigeration units at the icehouse have prompted the town of Berlin to think about buying a decibel meter and getting more specific with the town noise ordinance.
Councilwoman Ellen Lang reported to the council this week that she has had several citizen complaints over recurring noise issues.
The live bands playing outside the Atlantic Hotel are so loud, Lang said, that one 26-year resident of Jefferson St. has put her house up for sale.
"They almost have to leave home the music is so bad," Lang said.
The hotel occasionally features live musicians on Sunday afternoon cookouts on a grassy strip to the side of the building with one concert held in the rear parking lot.
"We really need to look into this and see if we can work a solution out," Lang said. "I've even had two merchants down on Main St. complain about it."
In a phone interview yesterday, Atlantic Hotel owner Sam Chmar said the intent of the concert series this summer was to bring more people to town on Sundays.
"The music was definitely too loud for some people. We definitely apologize to them," said Chmar. "We just want to make everything right for everybody."
Only one person, who lives across the street from the hotel, complained to the hotel itself, he said.
Chmar said he was in contact with the Berlin police before the concert series and that he made sure to get all necessary permits.
By law, the Atlantic Hotel is permitted to offer live music outside.
"The laws themselves are not written specifically for this," said Berlin Police Chief Arnold Downing.
The hotel is in the Arts and Entertainment District, Downing said.
"They've got to be good neighbors. The residents were there before it became an Arts and Entertainment District," said Lang.
The Berlin Police Department borrowed a noise meter from the Ocean City Police Department to measure decibel levels during a recent musical event outside at the hotel.
According to Downing, the decibel level measured was below Ocean City's noise ordinance cut-off. Berlin's noise ordinance does not address specific decibel levels.
"We've got to accommodate the business community but we've also got to think of the comfort of our citizens," said Mayor Tom Cardinale.
Chmar said he is looking into offering some different kinds of music next year, to reduce the noise, compared to the rock and reggae bands hosted primarily this year.
Lang suggested sound barriers placed behind the live bands. Chmar said he would consider it.
"We'd do any measures that would be necessary," said Chmar. "We just want everyone to be happy."
The residents of the Henry's Mill development also had complaints about noise recently. The noise from the ice factory trucks' refrigeration units, which are left running overnight to maintain freezing temperatures, is too loud and disturbing, they say.
Tom Collins, president of Kool Ice, the owner of the icehouse, has not responded to a letter from the development asking for some relief.
Two years ago, Collins appeared before the council to respond to similar concerns and told the council he had taken steps to reduce the noise penetration into nearby residential neighborhoods.
"We've already tried to make it better," Collins said two years ago. "We've re-parked the trucks from the east side of the street to the west side to get them away from the residents a little, and we've tried to modernize the plant with new coolers and other technology to make it much quieter and more efficient."
Collins said this week in a phone interview there is nothing more Kool Ice can do.
Apparently, that has not been enough to satisfy the neighbors, but there is little the town can do.
"There's no limit at all with the ice plant," Downing said.
The noise ordinance does not cover legitimate business or industrial noise.
"We certainly conform to all zoning laws," Collins said. "We've done all we need to do. Maybe on the residents' side they need to do something."
The council might need to change the law, Downing said.
The icehouse has been in place for 76 years and under Kool Ice ownership for the last 10. The plant operates roughly from April to October.
"Unfortunately, they built residences right up next to an established commercial operation," Collins said.
Lang asked the rest of the town council to write another letter to the ice plant owner.
"This has been discussed every year for the past three years," Downing said. "The problem doesn't get solved. It just goes away for awhile."
Sound barriers between the plant and the residences might alleviate the problem, Lang said.
Cardinale asked town attorney Dave Gaskill to look into state noise law for guidance.

Royals add Coleman to 'pen, option Dyson
Coleman had a 1.69 ERA with one save in three games for Omaha. He spent most of last season with the Royals, appearing in 48 games with a 2.87 ERA, a 1-4 record and one save. He also racked up 64 strikeouts in 59 2/3 innings.
Dyson had been called up in the wake of Lorenzo Cain's groin injury that put him on the 15-day disabled list on Thursday. Dyson played center field and led off in the Friday and Saturday games against the Indians, and was 2-for-8 with two runs scored, getting thrown out in his only steal attempt.
"We need pitching, that's just it," manager Ned Yost said. "We really saw improvement in Dyson the two days he was here, especially offensively. But the way we've gone the last couple of days, our starters going short and using up the bullpen, has put us short down there, so we brought up Louis Coleman for added protection."
The move gives the Royals 13 pitchers for the first time this season, with eight in the bullpen instead of seven. The 'pen was stretched thin in the first two games against the Indians, when starters Luke Hochevar and Jonathan Sanchez lasted just four and 2 2/3 innings, respectively.
Coleman has the capability of pitching long relief, important now that long man Everett Teaford might be needed to start on Wednesday night against the Tigers if Hochevar's sore ankle doesn't heal in time.
"We were just looking for an available arm and the last time he threw was on the 10th," Yost said. "He's up to 50 pitches so he gives us some depth. He's a real good guy, especially against right-handed hitters."
Dyson sat solemnly in a hooded sweatshirt in front of his locker after getting the news.
"They said they need pitching," Dyson said. "It's all right, it's just part of the game."
Dyson had difficulty tracking a fly ball in the wind and missed it in Friday's game, and had a drive fall out of his glove after a long run in Saturday's game. Both went for triples and both came in big innings for the Indians.
"It was tough circumstances," Yost said. "Both days the wind was howling out there and the ball got up in the jet stream, and he made a couple real nice close plays, too, on balls that no one else would've gotten near."
When called up, Dyson was hitting .364 for Omaha and was 6-for-6 in steal attempts.
"He was catalystic, that's all I heard," Yost said. "He was getting on the base and creating havoc. He was playing really well, hitting the ball good, creating rallies, right in the middle of the offense."
The decision to move Dyson was, in part, because he's a left-handed batter and veteran backup Mitch Maier, also a lefty, is out of Minor League options. The other reserve outfielder is Jason Bourgeois.
"Bourgeois has an option left, but he's the only right-handed bat off the bench," Yost said.
Maier was in center field in the Royals' lineup on Sunday.
Dyson's departure also prompted Alex Gordon's return to the leadoff spot and Jeff Francoeur dropping back into the fifth spot. Yuniesky Betancourt, who belted a game-tying home run in Saturday night's 10-inning, 11-9 loss to the Indians, is slowed by an ankle sprain, so Chris Getz was at second base on Sunday.
Gordon, Getz in the two-hole and Eric Hosmer batting third gave the lineup three left-handed batters at the top for the first time this season.
"Yuni has been battling a slight sprained ankle and Getz gives us protection there, so it was the only thing we could do," Yost said.
Alcides Escobar, a right-handed batter, was 2-for-14 in his three turns at batting second.

Tectonic Plate Lubricant
Tectonic plates are composed of oceanic lithosphere and thicker continental lithosphere, each topped by its own kind of crust. Tectonic plates are able to move because the Earth's lithosphere has a higher strength and lower density than the underlying asthenosphere. Plate movement is thought to be driven by a combination of the motion of the seafloor away from the spreading ridge (due to variations in topography and density of the crust, which result in differences in gravitational forces) and drag, downward suction, at the subduction zones. Scientists at Scripps Institution of Oceanography at UC San Diego have found a layer of liquefied molten rock in Earth's mantle that may be acting as a lubricant for the sliding motions of the planet's massive tectonic plates. The discovery may carry far-reaching implications, from solving basic geological functions of the planet to a better understanding of volcanism and earthquakes. The scientists discovered the magma layer at the Middle America trench offshore Nicaragua.
The new images of magma were captured during a 2010 expedition aboard the U.S. Navy-owned and Scripps-operated research vessel Melville. After deploying a vast array of seafloor instruments that recorded natural electromagnetic signals to map features of the crust and mantle, the scientists realized they found magma in a surprising place.
"This was completely unexpected," said Key, an associate research geophysicist in the Cecil H. and Ida M. Green Institute of Geophysics and Planetary Physics at Scripps. "We went out looking to get an idea of how fluids are interacting with plate subduction, but we discovered a melt layer we weren't expecting to find at all. It was pretty surprising."
For decades scientists have debated the forces and circumstances that allow the planet's tectonic plates to slide across the earth's mantle. Studies have shown that dissolved water in mantle minerals results in a more ductile mantle that would facilitate tectonic plate motions, but for many years clear images and data required to confirm or deny this idea were lacking.
For a considerable period of around 25 years (last quarter of the twentieth century) the leading theory suggested large scale convection currents in the upper mantle which are transmitted through the asthenosphere as the main driving force of the tectonic plates. The liquid magma or water layer merely helps the overall flow.
"Our data tell us that water can't accommodate the features we are seeing," said Naif, a Scripps graduate student and lead author of the paper. "The information from the new images confirms the idea that there needs to be some amount of melt in the upper mantle and that's really what's creating this ductile behavior for plates to slide."
The marine electromagnetic technology employed in the study was originated by Charles Cox, an emeritus professor of oceanography at Scripps, and in recent years further advanced by Constable and Key. Since 2000 they have been working with the energy industry to apply this technology to map offshore oil and gas reservoirs.
The researchers say their results will help geologists better understand the structure of the tectonic plate boundary and how that impacts earthquakes and volcanism.
"One of the longer-term implications of our results is that we are going to understand more about the plate boundary, which could lead to a better understanding of earthquakes," said Key.

Principal Marcia Lawrence has looked into a new format for high school students looking to earn both high school and college credits. The format, which Arkansas Tech University advocates, includes credentialed high school teachers teaching college courses at the school.
"We were encouraged by parent groups to consider this option, and we started researching it this summer," Lawrence said.
The new program would see the Dardanelle School District paying for students' tuition and books, in addition to billing Arkansas Tech for the teachers' time. If passed, the program will initially offer six hours of concurrent English credit — Composition 1 and 2 — for students.
Despite the program's obvious advantages — students get a head start on earning college credits, in addition to getting a feel for college classes — several of the board members express concern about the impact the program might have on their curriculum.
"The board feels that we do what we do very well," Lawrence said, citing the school's high standardized test scores. "So we don't want to do something that makes our foundational classes less effective."
Lawrence cites research showing that while concurrent credit courses do give the students an early start on college, it could come at the cost of a solid educational foundation.
Dardanelle currently offers concurrent credit options through AP and vocational classes. Seniors also have the option of enrolling at Arkansas Tech and driving their for classes two hours per day. But with this option, students must pay for their own tuition and books.
"[With the new plan], kids are going to get six hours for no cost," Lawrence said. "The classes will be taught on our campus, by our teachers, with Tech's syllabus."
But while the Board faces a dillemma, Lawrence sees plenty of positives in the conundrum.
"I do appreciate the fact that they are proud of their curriculum and cautious to change it. I feel like we're choosing between two good things," she said with a laugh.
Dardanelle is the latest school to consider offering more diverse dual credit options for its students. Other schools, such as Pottsville and Russellville, offer distance learning programs for their students. In a distance learning format, students sit in a classroom while a teacher interacts with them through a television screen at the front of the class through a video link. This allows the teacher to interact with and teach students without physically being in the class.
"Students can get a taste of college with a safety net at Pottsville High School," Pottsville counselor Mark Lee said. "They can try it out, and see if it's something they like."
Pottsville offers a multitude of courses for high school students, including Composition 1 and 2, College Algebra and Trigonometry, U.S. History, Public Speaking, and Western Civilization.
Like Dardanelle's potential program, Pottsville pays for students' tuition and books.
"Some kids graduate our high school with over twenty-four hours of college credit," Lee said.
Russellville also offers distance learning courses in addition to allowing students to drive to Arkansas Tech campus to attend classes. "Most students enroll in day classes, and some take night classes as well," counselor Charlotte Locke said.
Like the other school districts, Russellville's distance learning program is free for its students.

King Felix? No Problem
The White Sox "To Do" list for the stretch of games vs. the the Mariners and A's, beginning on June 6:
* Bounce back from the lost weekend series with Detroit…check
* Defeat Seattle's rookie pitching sensation Michael Pineda…check
* Find a way to beat 2010 Cy Young Award winner "King Felix" Hernandez…check
* Overcome Mariners' tough lefty Jason Vargas tonight for the sweep…mission pending
* Win the four-game series vs. Oakland, which begins on Thursday…pending
So far, so good, as the Sox continue their effort to accomplish everything on their check list. There's much more to be done, but last night's impressive 5-1 win over King Felix and his teammates was particularly satisfying.
Before the season, if you would have told me we'd be facing Hernandez without Adam Dunn, Alex Rios and Alexei Ramirez in the starting lineup, I would have said we have little chance. But that's exactly what occurred last night as the struggling (to say it mildly) Dunn and Rios were on the bench (Rios did pinch run and played defensively in the ninth) and Ramirez was given a rest in favor of Omar Vizquel.
Vizquel wasn't simply Ramirez's replacement, he was one of the game's heroes. His triple drove in a pair of runs in the Sox four-run third inning. Along with Paul Konerko's 14th homer and Carlos Quentin's two-run blast, his 15th, it provided more than enough offense for the victory.
And, of course, there was another virtuoso performance by the South Siders' unlikely pitching ace, Phil Humber. The former No. 1 draft choice of the Mets won his fifth game, allowing only a single run on five hits in 7 2/3 innings as he lowered his ERA to 2.87. Humber left the game in the eighth to a standing ovation.
Just think where we'd be without him.

Discussion in 'Star Trek: Enterprise' started by Spock/Uhura Fan, Aug 24, 2012.
I'm confused. Why are you in this forum...?
Doc would be an addition to any Trek series.
How about if Phlox takes Neelix and keeps him in one of his cages and feeds him super nutrient guano to see if he metamorphoses out of his (presumed) larval stage?
They kicked me out of all the other ones.
It's okay Skywalker, you may not be into "delicious men" but you are providing me with one with every post.
And no I don't mean you, I mean your avatar.
I need to go to the crappy forum where I'm a sex symbol.
Ouch. That calls for Skywalker's signature smiley.
I want Neelix to be torn apart by rabid tribbles. Any series will do.
Then I will go write me some tribble slash.
It is terrifying that Neelix being torn apart inspires you to write sex fanfic.
Well, it's tribbles.
Sorry, I've been spouting iffier nonsense than usual.
^ There's nothing to be sorry about. Fanfiction is devoted to whatever floats your boat.
I like Captain Hernandez. She's got a lot of wit and sass and maturity. Some of the stuff with the virus was interesting, and it's nice that Malcolm is back on the bridge. I'm glad he kicked that Section 31 guy to the curb. That man meant well, but it seems that he was played for a fool and then he tried to cover his butt with Malcolm about it.
Grade: C
I had serious issues with Trip going along a cable between two giant starships travelling at multiples of the speed of light. It was incredibly silly and unbelievable, even by Trek standards.
Although I liked that they basically ripped of the movie Speed. "If we drop below warp 5, we'll explode!" quick, someone find Keanu Reeves!
Now that would have been an interesting addition to this cast.
It's funny because the situation being unbelievable never bothered me too much. It was great to see Trip and Malcolm work together again and Trip finding out what happened while he was away.
I never had a problem with Trip climbing on a wire from Columbia to Enterprise. It's not like there was any wind or gravity or anything else for him to fight against. He was literally in a bubble. In space. I thought it was fun.
I love her.
I would have loved to have had a series with her as the Captain.
Would you do it?
Wrong uni but ....
PS The image is from STPMA; I believe it was done by Angel Sakura.
Depends. Would I have a sexy Vulcan lady waiting for me on the other ship?
Ah! Thank you!
I'm off to write some Keanu slash fic now.
I gotta agree. Hernandez was a lot more interesting captain than Archer. I wouldn't have minded seeing her captain Enterprise from day one. And she isn't a self-parody like Janeway, at least from what we've seen. Though she does seem to have questionable tastes in men, but hey.
On another note S/U if you like Erika, she plays a prominent role in the Destiny novels. They're a trilogy of novels set mainly after Nemesis, which encompass all four major series. Though Columbia and Hernandez's roles are via flashback but tie into the main story quite smoothly.
-- You're 'shipping him with Keating?
Nah, I'm shipping him with tribbles.
Separate names with a comma.

Get Birds of Prey Guide
Accipiter cooperii
IUCN Conservation Status: Least Concern
Gerry Dewaghe
Among the bird world's most skillful fliers, Cooper's Hawks are common woodland hawks that tear through cluttered tree canopies in high speed pursuit of other birds. You're most likely to see one prowling above a forest edge or field using just a few stiff wingbeats followed by a glide. With their smaller lookalike, the Sharp-shinned Hawk, Cooper's Hawks make for famously tricky identifications. Both species are sometimes unwanted guests at bird feeders, looking for an easy meal (but not one of sunflower seeds).
A medium-sized hawk with the classic accipiter shape: broad, rounded wings and a very long tail. In Cooper's Hawks, the head often appears large, the shoulders broad, and the tail rounded.
Adults are steely blue-gray above with warm reddish bars on the underparts and thick dark bands on the tail. Juveniles are brown above and crisply streaked with brown on the upper breast, giving them a somewhat hooded look compared with young Sharp-shinned Hawks' more diffuse streaking.
Look for Cooper's Hawks to fly with a flap-flap-glide pattern typical of accipiters. Even when crossing large open areas they rarely flap continuously. Another attack maneuver is to fly fast and low to the ground, then up and over an obstruction to surprise prey on the other side.
Wooded habitats from deep forests to leafy subdivisions and backyards.
Separating Sharp-shinned Hawks from Cooper's Hawks is one of the classic birding challenges. The birds look very similar and can be similarly sized. Cooper's Hawks have a larger head that juts farther out ahead of the wings compared with Sharp-shinned's pinhead. Cooper's have "hackles" that are sometimes raised, giving them a fierce look versus Sharp-shinned's more timid, round head. Adults have a pale nape, making them look like they're wearing a dark cap. Juvenile Cooper's Hawks are more finely streaked below than Sharp-shinned. When perched, look for Cooper's Hawk's thicker legs and big feet.
Northern Goshawks are much larger than Cooper's Hawks. Adult goshawks are all gray with a strong white eyestripe, with longer wings and a shorter tail. A less distinct eyestripe in juvenile goshawks still helps tell them from juvenile Cooper's Hawks, as do the thick streaks against a buffy background on the underparts, and an irregularly barred tail.
Buteos such as the Broad-winged Hawk have longer wings and shorter tails, while falcons such as the peregrine have sharply pointed wings.
Cooper's Hawks from western North America are substantially smaller (weighing around one-fifth less) than birds in the East.
If you put out seed for birds in your backyard, there's a chance you'll also attract the attention of a Cooper's Hawk. While catching smaller birds is just doing what comes naturally for a Cooper's Hawk, many of us would prefer not to share the responsibility for the deaths. If a Cooper's Hawk takes up residence in your yard, you can take your feeders down for a few days and the hawk will move on.
Finding a Cooper's Hawk is typically a matter of keeping your eyes peeled – they're common but stealthy, and smaller than other common hawks like the red-tailed, so your eye might skip over them in flight. Look for the flap-flap-glide flight style and remarkably long tail to zero in on these birds in an instant. During migration, hawkwatches on ridgetops in both East and West are great places to see lots of Cooper's Hawks.

When there's a really tough mess to clean up, the Hammacher Schlemmer Institute named this The Best Floor Steamer because it cleaned the fastest of all models tested, and had more useful attachments than the others.
Heating up in only 3 minutes to produce its 212-degree steam (effective in killing up to 99.9% of bacteria), the Best Steam Cleaner easily outperformed lesser models on both carpet and hard flooring. While those others needed up to 8 passes to remove dried orange juice and apple sauce from carpeting, The Best model powered them away in just 1 and 3 passes respectively. And when removing powder debris from bare floors, the Best Floor Steamer again needed only 2 passes, compared to up to 8 for the competition. And the Best model includes 11 attachments, including apparatuses for steaming garments, a gout brush, even a window squeegee.
When you need to tackle the big spills before they become permanent stains, get the cleaner that gets ready in a hurry, then gets the job done equally as fast. The Best Floor Steamer, from Hammacher Schlemmer.

The government of
Uruguay was very enthusiastic about the project, and created "Plan
Ceibal" (Education Connect) to fund and distribute XO-1 OLPC
laptops to every state-funded elementary school in the country.
Uruguay was the first country to place a full order for XO-1 laptops,
with an initial 100,000 order in October 2007. It was also the first
to deploy them in a non-pilot project just two months later.
the last two years, 18,000 teachers have distributed 380,000 laptops
to every student between the ages of six and twelve. Approximately
70% of the XO-1 laptops handed out by the government were given to
children who did not have computers at home.
The original
goal of the OLPC project was to develop a $100 laptop, but that
out of reach. The government of Uruguay states that it has spent
$260 per child, which includes the costs of maintenance, equipment
repairs, training for the teachers and internet connections. Annual
maintenance costs are around $21 per child.
Uruguay was the
first country in Latin America to provide free compulsory schooling
for its population, and believes that participation in the OLPC
project will help to raise standards of living even more quickly. The
total cost so far represents less than 5% of the country's education
"This is not simply the handing out of laptops or
an education program. It is a program which seeks to reduce the gap
between the digital world and the world of knowledge," stated
Miguel Brechner, the director of Plan Ceibal.
laptops in Uruguay use the Linux operating system with a user
interface named "Sugar". Detractors have criticized the
lack of a Windows operating system, stating that it is needed in
order to created marketable computer skills. However, Windows has
only been available in XO-1 laptops since
late last year.
Insufficient electrical and internet
infrastructure are just some of the challenges that Project Ceibal
has faced. Some rural areas have required the deployment of solar
power generators, while other areas still lack Internet connections.
The situation is similar in other countries like Peru, which has
almost 300,000 XO-1 laptops.
Those aren't the only
problems facing students eager to use their computers. Insufficient
teacher education has meant that some students are learning to use
computers at the same time as their teachers. The government training
program only takes a single day to complete. Some older teachers have
shunned the laptops, preferring to stick to older methods of teaching
rather than appearing incompetent in front of their pupils.
may explain why other countries have been hesitant to adopt OLPC
laptops in large scale national programs. Only Uruguay, Peru,
Columbia, India, and Rwanda have or are planning OLPC adoption
programs to more than 100,000 students. However, there are smaller
scale or pilot projects in more than two dozen countries.
a culture shock scenario; many countries are simply too scared to put
it into practice," explains Brechner.
Since every primary
school student now has a laptop, the government of Uruguay is now
considering an expansion program to include children in kindergarten
and those in secondary schools that do not yet have a laptop.

Ludwick appreciative of support for nephew
By Mark Sheldon / MLB.com
"I've got some other stuff in my life that puts things in perspective," said Ludwick, who started in left field for the Reds on Monday vs. Atlanta. "It's amazing the response it got from saying it on the air the other day. There are tremendous people out there. It's a blessing."
Rolen not sure when he'll resume activities
CINCINNATI -- Reds third baseman Scott Rolen, who went on the 15-day disabled list on May 12 because of a strained left shoulder, has yet to pick up a bat and swing.
Rolen has been getting therapy and massages daily and received an injection on May 14 in an effort to reduce the inflammation.
"They did it under an ultrasound so they got it into the joint," Rolen said on Monday. "They're trying to calm it down so I can get back to baseball stuff."
Eligible for activation on Sunday, Rolen still did not know when he could resume baseball activity.
"We haven't even talked about it," he said.
Rookie Todd Frazier has started every game at third base since Rolen went on the DL.
"Even though we've played well, we still need Scotty," Reds manager Dusty Baker said.
While Frazier has mostly handled himself reasonably well at the position, Baker has recently gone to Wilson Valdez as a defensive replacement late in some games.
"We feel Valdez is a better defender with more experience," Baker said.
Regardless of who has been at third, not every throw has been pinpoint perfect the way it was with Rolen -- an eight-time Gold Glove Award winner.
"You get spoiled by that," Baker said. "It's not how it is in a lot of places."
K not Bruce's or Reds' favorite letter at moment
CINCINNATI -- During the past week on the road, the Reds filled their share of the K Korner against the opposition. Cincinnati's hitters racked up double-digit strikeout totals in each of the previous four games entering Monday.That included a season-high 15 strikeouts on Saturday vs. the Yankees. Reds right fielder Jay Bruce has watched his strikeout total soar of late. During his 1-for-17 stretch, Bruce has struck out 11 times.
"I think as far as my routine and approach, it's been the exact same," Bruce said before Monday's game. "That's why I'm not too worried about it. It's a little combination of not getting a lot to hit and some tough pitches, and I chased a few pitches where I shouldn't have."
Bruce snapped a 0-for-16 skid with an infield single in his final at-bat on Sunday. He entered Monday batting .276 with a team-leading 10 home runs, and his 27 RBIs were second on the club behind Joey Votto's 28.
"When you do get pitched tough like that, you have to focus more on getting a pitch in the zone that you can handle -- regardless of the strike zone," Bruce said. "Stay with what has made me successful."
As much as the Reds have struck out lately, their 329 K's entering the night were only the sixth-highest total in the National League.
Chip off the old base: Reds honoring Jones
CINCINNATI -- To honor the career of Braves third baseman Chipper Jones, the Reds are using special commemorative bases for the four-game series. One of the bases will be presented in a ceremony on Thursday to Jones, who will retire at season's end.
The side of the bases read "Celebrating the career of No. 10, Chipper Jones."
"It's unique," said Jones, who did not start on Monday vs. Cincinnati. "It's something I never would have thought of, but it's awfully nice and classy of the Cincinnati Reds organization to do that. It's not expected, but I look forward to getting out and looking at it and hopefully rounding it maybe once or twice."

Planting Forests for Carbon Sequestration
Imagine a forest landscape where every tree is aligned and equally spaced apart. A forest where there are no sounds, no undergrowth and a distinct lack of species. Could this be the fate of our environment as carbon forestry becomes a common way to offset greenhouse gas emissions? Or, could it supplement reforestation programs and slowly ease the biodiversity crisis?
Post-Kyoto there has been strong support for global emissions to be 'capped'. Key nations, including Australia, Norway and Japan, have already started to place a price on carbon, with internal stakeholders now having a legal obligation to pay for the greenhouse gasses they emit. One strategy that has been adopted by these 'compliance' markets – as well as many 'voluntary' markets – includes the purchasing of carbon credits that are linked with the forestry sector. Referred to as 'carbon forestry', a new forest is established on degraded land in order to sequester carbon from the atmosphere, thereby allowing an investor to offset their emissions output.
According to a 2011 report by the monitoring and analysis agency Ecosystem Marketplace over 30 million metric tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e) was contracted across forest markets in 2010. The emergence of carbon forestry is particularly evident in Australia, where an estimated sixty five thousand hectares of forests have been planted for the purpose of carbon sequestration. Similarly, more than one thousand hectares of 'for purpose' woodland have been created in the United Kingdom through the Forestry Commission, one of the country's largest land managers.
It is clear that carbon forestry provides a low-cost and low-risk means for investors to hedge their carbon responsibilities. Yet whether these increasingly prominent plantations enhance the aesthetics of the landscape, or potential for biodiversity within those landscapes is questionable.
In general, carbon forests have the potential to offer a variety of benefits for the environment. Not only do they provide habitat that can be used by a range of vertebrate and invertebrate species for food and shelter, they may also act as 'green corridors' that link remnant patches of native vegetation. This could be particularly beneficial for certain groups of species such as butterflies and moths whose populations have been detrimentally impacted by the defragmentation of suitable habitat.

I enjoyed reading this. Having heard that it was not a great movie it was good to get the details. One would just assume DiCaprio and
Eastwood wouled make a great movie. I'll still be looking for another from the duo.

Just curious, did the movie report, accurately, that Alger Hiss was a Soviet spy, and that J. Edgar Hoover played a major role in smoking him out?

The movie was completely panned by the WSJ this weekend.
Wooden performances poor directing and acting- rambling script--they said.

Hoover's alleged homosexuality perhaps deserved a mention. Instead it was made the centerpiece. Funny, I thought Hollywood approved of accepting homosexuals into the mainstream.

Maybe it's the self-loathing, closeted, double-standard bearing homosexuals they detest, if indeed Walter's premise is correct.

I think it's simpler than that. Homosexuals are only acceptable if they are liberals. Same thing is true of Blacks, Women, etc, etc.

The simple fact is that it is a lousy movie

Martin Scorsese can do a much better film
This one is a dud

Overt homosexuality back then would have ended Hoover's career. His secret homosexuality, if indeed it was, harmed no one. Even his Pearl Harbor files, as a private reminder, were not illegal. With today's tolerance, this picture was unnecessary.

"Homosexuals are only acceptable if they are liberals."
Wow, no filter there, eh? One wonders what Log Cabin Republicans think about such a crass, uniformed opinion.
Actually, Observer is probably correct in her little cloistered world. Have the Republicans let Fred Karger into any debates? Web Link Was it only liberals booing an American service member live at a GOP debate? Web Link
Nah, nice try, Observer. Take off your blinders and perhaps your powers of observation would improve significantly.

Paddled out from Pompano beach on Sunday at sunrise. Beach was flat. Offshore was nasty. The wind was relentless. First 2 fish that were caught were Black fin tuna by Drichard1986 & Jvanpelt. Both fish were caught on live flat lined Pilchards. I stayed in a little shallower and was able to land a nice size King on a flat lined Goggle Eye in 135ft. Soon after that I peddled over to KayakAngler to see he landed his first ever grouper and a nice one at that! The grouper was caught on a vertical jig in 250ft.

Gervais says he's pro-euthanasia
Comedian Ricky Gervais has said he is pro-euthanasia, joking that he hopes one day he will be able to walk into a chemist and ask for a pill to end his life.
The Office star bemoaned the "out of sight, out of mind" culture towards old people in the UK and America, and speaking on the topic of assisted dying, he said: "Y ou should be allowed to die with dignity and say when you've had enough."
Gervais also revealed he has been offered a slot as alter ego David Brent at Glastonbury, although failed to say whether he will definitely appear at the world famous festival.
In an interview with the Mail on Sunday's Event magazine, he spoke of the upcoming second series of Derek, his Channel 4 comedy that is set in a care home.
Explaining that his mother, sister and three nieces have all worked in retirement homes, providing him with "30 years of their anecdotes to draw on", Gervais said: " In Britain and America we don't really take care of our old people.
"We have the attitude of out of sight, out of mind. People used to live with their grandparents but now it's, 'Put them in a home; we want our own life.'"
The 52-year-old said he is not afraid of dying, but fears ill health and not having a decent quality of life, adding that he is " absolutely all for" euthanasia.
"I believe you're the master of your own body and you should be allowed to die with dignity and say when you've had enough," he said.
"By the time I want to go it'll be easy. I reckon I'll be able to pop into Boots and say, 'Give me the pill, I'm going.'"
The funnyman also spoke of the "incredible response" from fans after resurrecting the character of Brent with a series of sell-out shows after first bringing the Wernham Hogg boss to the nation's TV screens in 2001.
"I've been offered Glastonbury, which I'm thinking about," he said. "Suddenly Brent is like the Rolling Stones!"

These cases are by no means isolated good good examples. Contrary the text has only grown while using years. The Prada Foundation will build up a 17,000 square meter museum in Milan, to show artworks connected with the current Prada collection, cinema, design and architecture. The Stacy K Fuller fashion and art produce a temporary exhibition within the Piazza del Duomo, in Milan, where there has been proven videos and movies of the extremely up-and-coming artists around the world. Lv launched an amount of bags together with the famous Stacy K Fuller fashion and art, in which the blush colors of Stacy K Fuller fashion and art vibrant and crazy figures introduced new existence for the classic design. You'll find further good good examples, too numerous to state, that illustrate the tight-knit outcomes of the skill and fashion cell phone industry's.
Sometimes most likely probably the most regular of items that individuals ignore, inspire a painter collection. Tales are actually told about designers being creatively inspired by something as mundane as falling leaves or different cloud shapes. Most designers see the work they are doing to become art itself, which describes why a couple of from the designs that are seen round the runaway may seem strange rather than fit being worn in society.
Art similarly draws its inspiration from existence to be sure it. The Stacy K Fuller fashion and art very best selling pictures are actually made round the most regular of subjects- take Van Gogh's Sunflowers for example, that's ultimately a painting from the vase with sunflowers. Therefore it is really common of these mediums of creativity simply to walk submit hands and influence each other. While pieces of art are actually made on models, certain poses, or possibly fashion shows, art and certain styles connected with artistic actions are reflected frequently round the runaway.
Such might be the relation between art and fashion that experts have wryly stated on forms being fanatics instead of a few. Cubist motifs, minimalist expressions, lines, designs, cubes, avant garde art, even impressionist shades have made an appearance popular eventually or any other. For the extent that fashion experts report that strong political sights, modifications in society or other history changing occasions which might be noticed in art may also be reflected popular once in awhile. Cubism particularly seems to own been very popular within the field of fashion.

While MusketeerScoop only got to spend the better part of one day at the Adidas May Classic in Bloomington (IN) we still had the opportunity to watch several of Xavier's top targets from the classes of 2013 and 2014. After watching the fully loaded Louisville Magic team and seeing a trio of prospects on the Southwest Illinois Jets 16u team there was little doubt left that the event in Bloomington was full of high major talent.
Darreon Reddick - Southwest Illinois Jets 16u - Reddick went to Bloomington right after stopping by Xavier's campus on Friday for his second unofficial visit, along with teammate Darius Austin. While Reddick was surprised that Coach Mack didn't extend a scholarship offer to him on the visit Reddick was pleased with the experience and the style of play that Xavier's system focuses on. Reddick, who is being heavily recruited by Missouri, DePaul, Saint Louis, and Xavier, was very good on the court at Adidas May Classic. He's a smooth ballhandler that can really get to the rim off a speed burst and is a crafty finisher around the rim. Able to create turnovers as an on-ball defender he's creative in transition as a scorer or distributor as well. While he isn't a great shooter from deep Reddick can knock down the long jumper when he's in rhythm, especially after taking a few bounces to get his feet set. Still viewed as a recruit that is far from reaching his full potential Reddick was one of the more impressive 2014 prospects on Saturday.
Darius Austin - Southwest Illinois Jets 16u - Austin joined Reddick on the visit and likewise was somewhat surprised not to receive an offer but enjoyed the trip nonetheless. In Bloomington his motor wasn't running as high as we would've liked to have seen, in MusketeerScoop's first viewing of his team, but he was effective offensively. Austin is a strong bodied slasher that can get to the rim off a crossover move and is very skilled at earning trips to the foul line. He has a nice stroke from the line, as well as when pulling up from mid-range, and is a scoring threat from anywhere inside of 17 feet. Really liked the quickness he displayed on his first step and his explosiveness off the ground as a weak-side shotblocker and rebounder; although he didn't focus on those parts of his game enough in our opinion. The 2014 prospect lists Xavier, Missouri, Illinois, and DePaul as his top schools.
C.J. Rivers - Southwest Illinois Jets 16u - Just because he didn't join teammates Reddick and Austin on the visit to Xavier does not mean that the crafty point guard is not a recruiting target for the Musketeers in 2014. Rivers is still in the early stages of his recruitment, listing Missouri and DePaul as the schools who are most interested, but is getting better on the court. He's a smooth shooter from mid-range off the bounce that can make teammates better as a passer in transition or off the pick and roll.
D'Angelo Russell - Louisville Magic 17u - A class of 2014 prospect that is playing up a grade at the 17u division with his home state friends (Russell attends Montverde Academy in Florida) Russell immediately can step on the floor and just look like the five-star prospect that he is. With Indiana fans in attendance to check up on him, as the Hoosiers join Louisville, Kentucky, Ohio State, Xavier, and Cincinnati as high profile programs recruiting him, Russell was the talk of the tourney on Saturday in Bloomington. He has the complete skill package as a 6'3 guard that is comfortable at any of the three perimeter positions. Russell shoots the ball very well out to the three point line, can athletically attack the basket while staying under control, and is a very good passer. What we liked most about him this viewing was how hard he defends in both the half and full-court setting while playing with toughness when handling the ball against incessant bumping.
Jordan Green - Louisville Magic 17u - Like his teammate Russell the 6'7 combo forward is a class of 2014 prospect playing up an age group with the 17u team. Green has improved tremendously over the last year and is now one of the better shooters on the circuit for his size; while possessing elite level athleticism. Green plays hard all the time and is getting better at attacking the basket under control. He's still in the process of filling out his frame but if he keeps improving at his current rate he'll be a guy that will challenge for a Rivals150 ranking in his 2014 class. Currently Green lists Louisville, Xavier, and Cincinnati as the high majors that are showing him the most interest.
Trey Grundy - Louisville Magic 17u - Another 2014 recruit playing up at the 17u level Grundy impressed in Bloomington much more so then he did the previous weekend at Spiece in Fort Wayne. Playing with greater energy and desire Grundy influenced plays in the Magic's full-court pressure schemes while hustling back into the paint to control the rebounds as well. Our critique of the 6'7 combo forward has been his lack of ball-skills but Grundy was not only more aggressive in handling the ball, and shooting the outside jumper, but he was more effective and confident. While he doesn't have a high major offer to this point Grundy is being heavily recruited by Xavier, Cincinnati, Ohio State, Louisville, and more.
Jaylon Brown - Martin's Wolverines 17u - Similarly to Cincinnati's own Kevin Johnson this 6'0 combo guard from Fischers (IN) is rapidly ascending up recruiting rankings with his improved play over the spring. Brown continues to get better as a decision maker and a shooter, while already being arguably the top athlete in the country at his point guard position. Brown continues to thrive in the transition game where he can use his quick changes in direction to get to the rim and finish at will, but he is getting better as a distributor off the pick and role in the half court as well. He isn't a high priority target for the Musketeers at this point, but they have their eye on him.
Maverick Morgan - Martin's Wolverines 17u - The 6'11, and 240 pound, center from Springboro (OH) was instrumental in leading his team to an upset of the Eric Gordon All Stars behind his physical play in the middle, where he is his team's only true big man. Morgan demanded attention in the post and really competed against the shorter but stronger EG10 defenders. It was that space that Morgan created, as well as his ability to pass out of the paint, that freed up his sharpshooting teammates for three-point looks. Morgan currently lists Xavier among his top schools with West Virginia, Iowa State, and Minnesota in the mix as well.
Trevor Thompson - Eric Gordon All Stars 17u - The 2012 center from Indianapolis who will be prepping next season at Florida's IMG Academy continues to be high on talent. While he didn't get a lot of time in the middle for his EG10 team Thompson was very effective as a shotblocker in containing Maverick Morgan when he was in the game. Thompson, who lists Butler and Xavier as his top schools, is an energetic change of pace big man that has top notch athleticism and should improve greatly in his year at IMG.
Isaiah Johnson - Cincinnati Lakers 17u - Since earning an offer from Coach Mack a couple of weeks ago Johnson has taken his play to even greater heights. The 6'9, and 280 pound, center from Cincinnati Walnut Hills has a skilled but simplistic game down low. Going against mostly smaller players Johnson seals off deep post position and powers up strong to finish around the rim through contact. He has excellent hands and catches everything in his area, whether it's a pass or a rebound. As a space eater Johnson is very effective but needs to keep on making strides in his conditioning, college coaches have told him they'd like to see him get closer to 260 pounds. Xavier is the first high major to offer Johnson, but he also holds scholarship offers from Kent State and Akron, among others.
Devin Williams - Club Ohio 17u - With his normal team, Ohio Basketball Club, having a week off Williams decided to suit up with some local friends for the weekend in Bloomington. Joining fellow big man Antonio Campbell, someone who Xavier coaches have an eye on, Williams manned the other spot in the middle to provide a formidable one-two punch for Club Ohio. It wasn't a make or break weekend in his recruitment, and that showed on the court, but Williams was still very effective scoring around the rim and creating offense. Playing without the high level guard play he is accustomed to with OBC the 6'8 Cincinnati Withrow PF had to get to the offensive glass to get the ball down low and he did a good job controlling the boards to score easy buckets. After the game Williams listed UCLA, Xavier, and Ohio State as his current top schools.

The LA Galaxy's CONCACAF Champions League dreams are alive and well.
LA received the best possible result in Tuesday's match between Isidro Metapán and C.S. Cartaginés as the two teams battled to a scoreless draw at the Estadio Nacional in San Jose, Costa Rica. Cartaginés controlled play for wide stretches in their "home match" but could not convert their opportunities to put them ahead of the organized Salvadorian club. No opportunity was more costly than Pablo Jimenez's second half penalty kick miss that was skied well over the bar.
Currently, Cartaginés leads Group 8 with four points, but have played two more games than the Galaxy. LA is second with three and Isidro Metapán has just a single point.

Top 10: World Cup net-busters
1. Dennis Bergkamp (Holland) vs Argentina' France 98
Any goal that makes Barry Davies reach a pitch audible only to dogs deserves a place on this list; the fact that it was an 89th-minute quarter-final winner against the Argies makes it pretty special, too.
The way Bergkamp kills Frank de Boer's 60-odd-yard long ball with his first touch, flicks it back inside his marker with his second, before hitting it with the outside of his foot into the opposite top corner with his third... well, it's almost indescribable. Ask Barry.

Americans Abroad
(Tuesday, January 26, 2010) -- Everton was absolutely flat in the first half when visiting Birmingham City put a pair of goals past United States goalkeeper Tim Howard and then held on for a 2-1 victory in a match of English Premier League clubs Saturday at Goodison Park, knocking Everton out of the FA Cup in the fourth round.
American Landon Donovan started on the right side of the attack and, after two strong performances in his Everton debut, at times had problems meshing with his new teammates. But Donovan played hard, often dropping all the way back into his own penalty area to play defense.
Donovan came out in the 75th minute when Mikel Arteta made his first appearance in more than a year after suffering knee ligament damage.
In another FA Cup game, U.S. keeper Brad Guzan was beaten twice, but the EPL's Aston Villa survived a scare from third-division Brighton and emerged with a 3-2 triumph. The two teams traded goals as Brighton put up a good fight and was tied 1-1 after 45 minutes. But Villa jumped ahead 3-1 during the next 18 minutes before Guzan surrendered a goal in stoppage time.
Guzan finished with three saves.
American keeper Marcus Hahnemann and seven other starters remained on the bench for the Premier League's Wolverhampton, which used a late goal to draw 2-2 with second-tier Crystal Palace, forcing a replay.
American forward Mike Grella dressed, but did not play for third-tier Leeds United, which used Jermaine Beckford's stoppage-time penalty kick -- his second goal -- and some sensational goalkeeping from Casper Ankergren (13 saves) to draw 2-2 at the Premier League's Tottenham Hotspur and force a replay at Leeds.
In the only Premier League match of the weekend, U.S. striker Jozy Altidore was still excused by Hull City for personal reasons tied to the earthquake in Haiti. Hull, in the relegation zone in 19th place was no match for league-leading Manchester United, which won 4-0 at home behind four goals by Wayne Rooney, three in the final eight minutes.
In the third-tier League One, U.S. defender Jay DeMerit went the distance for Watford, which fell 3-2 to Blackpool, which tied the match in the last minute of regulation and won in injury time.
Frank Simek remained on the bench as Sheffield Wednesday defeated Peterborough United 2-1.
After having been thought to be headed to Portugal, it now looks as U.S. midfielder Stuart Holden, formerly of Major League Soccer's Houston Dynamo, will stick with the EPL's Bolton Wanderers.
Holden signed a contract for the remainder of the season with a deal believed to include option years.
Halfway through a two-week trial, it looked like Holden would move on to Sporting Braga of the Portugese Liga. But manager Owen Coyle apparently reconsidered.
"Stuart has been training with us and he has done well," Coyle told his team's web site. "He has a great energy and desire, and he wants to show that he can play in the best league in the world, so he is a young man with a point to prove."
"It is exciting to have this type of opportunity and I'm looking forward to being a Bolton Wanderer," Holden said on his web site.
Eighteen-year-old American defender Gale Agbossoumonde, who has been training with Braga, looks to be near signing a six-month contract, essentially a loan from Traffic Sports, a Brazilian sports agency in Miami, Fla., and Miami FC, an American second-division club.
The contract is also said to allow the youngster to buy himself out of the deal.
In Scotland, U.S. midfielders Maurice Edu, with an ankle injury, and DaMarcus Beasley, with a thigh ailment, did not dress for Glasgow Rangers in a 1-1 tie with visiting Heart of Midlothian at Ibrox Stadium.
In France's League 1, Carlos Bocanegra went the distance last Tuesday for Stade Rennes, which drew 0-0 with St Etienne.
On Friday, Bocanegra also played 90 minutes as Rennes outclassed Saumur 4-0 in a Coupe De France second-round match. Three of Rennes goals came in the closing six minutes.
In the German Bundesliga, U.S. midfielder Michael Bradley went the distance for Borussia Mönchengladbach, which came up empty on a first-half penalty kick and drew 0-0 with last place Hertha Berlin.
U.S. defender Steve Cherundolo went 90 minutes for Hannover 96 and its new coach Mirko Slomka, but the fading team dropped a 1-0 decision to 1. FSV Mainz 05
Cherundolo received a yellow card in stoppage time as Hannover fell one point into the relegation zone.
In Greece, U.S. striker Eddie Johnson came on in the 68th minute and provided a lift for host Aris Thessaloniki, which drew 0-0 Sunday with league-leading Panathinaikos at Kleanthis Vikelides (Harilaou) Stadium.
Johnson triggered an open shot from the middle after running onto a cross, but he was denied by a good save.
American midfielder Freddy Adu, newly acquired like Johnson, was formally presented to the Aris fans and media this week, but he is not expected to crack the lineup for awhile.
"At this moment, Adu is improving a lot," Aris coach Hector Raul Cuper said Friday. "His playing minutes so far haven't been as many as he should have. If nothing changes until Sunday, he will be in the 18 (-player game roster). He might get some participation time, but for few minutes, because he's not yet at the same condition as the rest of his teammates."

Okay, so I was going to look into trying out file sharing. I've done a little bit of research on which programs are "safer" than others, but I was curious to know if anyone here does file sharing, and what programs/sites would you recommend?
But that's not my main question. I have a friend who used to use Frostwire quite a bit, and eventually he downloaded a pretty bad virus. That being said, I don't think he looked for the "warning signs" as far as what file are mostly likely safe and which ones could contain a virus, trojan, etc. Also, I doubt he has security software as good as ZA.
My question is, if I were to carefully determine which files are mostly likely safe before downloading them, and then after downloading them, scan them with ZA, do you think I'd be relatively safe?
I downloaded Frostwire a little while ago, but haven't really used it yet. I've been really skeptical.

DublB's X method works ... you have bias on the outside edges of yoru square in a square.
I used it for this quilt, as I needed to get the pattern facing the right way in the setting triangles. http://www.quiltingboard.com/picture...t-t179122.html
The \ method ... you have bias on the side you are stitching right away, leaving straight of grain on the outside edges.
Either ways, you have bias to deal with ... spray starch the fabric and it'll help keep it stable while you are cutting/trimming.
If not doing overly large sq-in-sq .... I like to PP them .... gets it all really nice and precise.
W4Me .... how large is your cross stitched maple leaf centre?
