Ouray, Colorado
Red Mountain Overlook on the Million Dollar Highway
August 30, 2011
Voni Glaves and Ardys Kellerman became the first two women in North
America to document riding one million miles on BMW motorcycles. As they
approached these accomplishments they arranged to meet in Ouray,
Colorado to ride their one-millionth miles together on U.S. Highway 550,
the ÔÇ£Million Dollar Highway. They reached this milestone at Red Mountain
Overlook between Ouray and Silverton, Colorado the morning of August 30,
2011. Dealership documentation of their achievements has been sent to
BMW Motorrad U.S.A. and to the BMW Motorcycle Owners of America, each of
which provides mileage awards at 100,000 mile intervals.
Glaves, 64, is a retired teacher who resides in the Texas Big Bend just
north of Big Bend National Park. Kellerman, 79, is a retired electronics
technician who resides in Lexington, Texas. Both have been riding BMW
motorcycles for many years. Kellerman bought her first BMW in 1985.
Glaves first BMW was her MotherÔÇÖs Day present in 1977. Glaves
accumulated the million miles on 15 different BMWs over the years since
then. Her highest mileage on a single motorcycle was 357,658 miles on a
1993 R1100RS, which she still owns. Kellerman has owned 16 BMWs
including a 1999 R1100RT with 170,000 miles.
Both Kellerman and Glaves are experienced long distance endurance
riders. Glaves finished the 11-day Iron Butt Rally in 2003. Kellerman
completed the biennial 11-day Iron Butt Rally four times.

Congrats to both women on a huge milestone and what a beautiful road to reach the milestone on.
In the press release it says "Voni Glaves and Ardys Kellerman became the first two women in North
America to document riding one million miles on BMW motorcycles."
My question is do any other woman have 1 millions miles on any motorcycle?
I did a quick search but could not find any.
Congratulations Voni and Ardys! Very impressive number of Smiles!
Congratulations ladies! Most impressive! Cheers!

"Franklin & Bash" 9 p.m. TNT I haven't quite acquired a taste for this legal comedy-drama, but I understand my opinion is in the minority. Mark-Paul Gosselaar and Breckin Meyer star as a wise-cracking, rule-breaking pair of attorneys working at an uptight firm headed by Malcolm McDowell. In a summer overrun with reality series, it's at least a watchable scripted show. Season three starts tonight with two episodes.
"Futurama" 10 p.m. Comedy Central This recommendation is as much a nod to the past as the present. "Futurama" begins its final stretch tonight: 13 new episodes that will bring to a close the comic science-fiction cartoon series that launched in 1999. The "other" series from "The Simpsons" creator Matt Groening may be a little long in the tooth, but it remains clever and more than occasionally funny.
"Futurama" began 14 years ago on Fox, where it lived for four seasons. In reruns, it became a staple of Cartoon Network's Adult Swim, and its enduring popularity prompted four direct-to-video movies starting in 2008. In 2010, new episodes began airing on Comedy Central. When the current run is finished, "Futurama" will have produced 140 episodes and four movies.
"Hot in Cleveland" 10 p.m., "The Exes" 10:30 p.m., "The Soul Man" 11 p.m., TVLand Fittingly for a network that began life as a haven for classic shows, TVLand's block of original summer comedies feel like they would have been at home in primetime 1993, sitting next to "The Nanny" and "Coach."
Unfortunately for us, it's 2013, and what was tolerably amusing 20 years ago is groan-inducing today. All three of the comedies rely almost entirely on setup-quip humor, and the jokes – if we can be so charitable – arrive with the subtlety of a Harley-Davidson pulling into your driveway. Any halfway alert adult can usually beat the actors to the punchline.
To add to the retro feel, TVLand has populated the series with familiar faces from sitcoms past: Valerie Bertinelli, Jane Leeves, Wendi Malick and Betty White in "Hot in Cleveland"; Kristen Johnson, Wayne Knight and Donald Faison in "The Exes"; Cedric the Entertainer in "The Soul Man." They're all fine actors who deserve better scripts than these.
"Hot in Cleveland" at least manages the occasional funny line, so if you're tired of reruns and looking for half an hour of mindless diversion on a Wednesday night, you can be excused for tuning in. The other two simply should be avoided.

The 14th annual Bargains Galore on 64 will feature 160 miles of garage, street and yard sales from Fort Smith to Beebe. Linda Hiles and her husband Frank started the event in 2000 after attending the 127 Corridor Sale, which stretches nearly 700 miles from Michigan to Alabama.
Hiles and her husband owned an antique store in Altus and would attend those events looking for inventory.
"We noticed their sale was on a two-lane road similar to [U.S. Highway] 64 and they didn't have nearly as many restaurants and tourist spots as we have here," she said.
She approached several chambers of commerce with the idea, and the plan immediately gained support.
"We have a lot of enthusiastic supporters and participants," she said.
Hiles said sellers don't need a permit to set up a booth, but they should get permission before setting up on someone else's property.
The event is great for the Arkansas River Valley economy and Arkansas tourism, she said.
"It draws people from all over and they need a place to eat and sleep," she said. "Once people come to Arkansas, they see how beautiful it is and how friendly the people are and they want to come back."
Hiles said participants come looking for jewelry, clothes, books, tools, furniture and "just about everything you can think of."
She said local clubs could also benefit by participating.
"It's a wonderful opportunity for civic groups and churches to make some money by having a booth or selling food and drinks," she said.
Hiles said she is aware the sale stalls traffic because many people slow their vehicles to look at available items without leaving the comfort of their vehicle's air conditioning. She said the positive economic impact on the community is worth the hassle of traffic jams.
The sale ends Saturday. For more information, visit www.bargainsgaloreon64.com.

Martin, who wears No. 55, has thrived on 5/5
By Tom Singer / MLB.com
PITTSBURGH -- If Russell Martin goes 5-for-5 in Sunday's game against the Nationals, don't be surprised. Just call it predestined.
May 5 ... 5/5 ... Cinco de Mayo -- or, as they say in Martin's French-Canadian home, Cinq Mai -- is his day.
Martin has worn No. 55 throughout his career. He made his Major League debut on May 5, 2006 -- totally coincidentally -- and went 2-for-4 with a pair of RBIs for the Dodgers against the Brewers.
He went into Sunday's game as a lifetime .385 (10-for-26) hitter on the date, with one homer and -- what else? -- five RBIs. In Sunday's 6-2 loss to the Nationals, he went 1-for-3 with an RBI single and also made a sliding catch at third base.
But here is the clincher:
In making out his lineup against Washington left-hander Gio Gonzalez, Pirates manager Clint Hurdle gave Martin his second start of the season at third base -- the "5" position on your scorecard.
Hurdle also listed Martin in the five-hole.
"Should be a great day," Martin said with a wink before taking the field.

college semester
Anne Marie Roderick 10-05-2011
Just a few days after I returned from my respite in the mountains, Israeli forces killed eight Turkish nationals and one American on a Gaza-bound aid flotilla. Protests erupted all over Israel and Palestine.
In the midst of this tragic chaos I found myself visiting my yoga center more often than usual, hoping to find another glimpse of the peace I had tasted so vividly just a few days before. Perhaps these wise, centered people could offer a perspective that would look forward to a vision of understanding, or reconciliation -- a vision too often missed by politicians, military officials, media, and even activists.

When it is not possible to lower the intraocular pressure adequately with eye drops or oral drugs, eye surgery may be advised. In some situations, you and your doctor may decide to try surgery instead of using drops, especially angle-closure glaucoma. There are 2 types of surgery: laser surgery and incisional surgery.
Laser Surgery
This is performed in a doctor's office or an eye clinic. In laser surgery, the surgeon uses a concentrated high-energy beam of light to make changes to the eye to help relieve the intraocular pressure.
The 3 types most frequently used are:
Trabeculoplasty —This procedure is most often used to treat open-angle glaucoma. Using the laser, the surgeon will make many small microscopic burns in the drainage area of the eye. This will allow the aqueous fluid to drain more freely. The procedure takes 10-20 minutes, and you can resume normal activities right after it. It takes about 2-3 weeks before one can see the maximum effect from the surgery. Most people will need to continue medications and repeat treatment may be needed in half of all people having this.
Iridotomy —This surgery is frequently used to treat angle-closure glaucoma or to prevent it in those who have very narrow drainage angles. Using the laser, the surgeon will make a small hole in the iris. This will allow the aqueous fluid to flow more freely inside the eye and help to widen the drainage angle between the cornea and iris.
Cyclophotocoagulation —This procedure is usually reserved for more advanced or aggressive cases of glaucoma that are refractory to other treatments. Using either the laser or a freezing probe, the surgeon will destroy selected areas of the ciliary body—the part of the eye that produces fluid. This will reduce the production of aqueous fluid.
The surgeon will place eye drops into your eyes to numb them. You will sit facing the laser machine. Using a special lens held to the front of your eye, the surgeon will focus the high-energy beam of light at specific structures in your eye. You may see flashes of bright green or red light. The process often takes just a few minutes.
You cannot rub your eyes for at least 20 minutes or until the numbing eye drops have worn off. You may experience some local eye irritation. You may need someone to drive you home after the procedure, but most people can resume their normal activities within a day after the procedure. Your vision will probably be blurry for one to two days after the procedure.
Incisional Surgery
Trabeculectomy—also known as filtering surgery, involves the use of tiny instruments to make a tiny hole in the sclera, or white of the eye where it meets the cornea. The aqueous humor can now drain out through the hole and be reabsorbed into the bloodstream. This reduces the pressure in the eye. In some cases, the surgeon may place a valve in the eye through a tiny incision. These valves act as a regulator for the buildup of fluid within the eye, allowing fluid to flow out and be reabsorbed.
Incisional surgery is usually performed in an operating room with local anesthesia. The surgeon will make the small incision in the eye to allow for a slow release of aqueous fluid. If necessary, the surgeon will place the tiny valve in the eye through an incision. The surgeon will also often cut out a small hole in the iris to help prevent the iris from blocking the hole.
You will need someone to drive you home after the procedure. In addition, you may need to wear a patch and use eye drops following surgery. Avoid activities that expose your eye to water, such as swimming and showering, as recommended by your doctor. Also avoid strenuous activities, as recommended by your doctor.
Mechanical shunts—In advanced cases, sometimes a placement of a mechanical shunt is the best option. Shunts are small silicone tubes that are inserted into an eye to help drain the aqueous fluid.

MKR recap: My Kitchen Rejects
Welcome to the second of three episodes of My Kitchen Rejects, the programming equivalent of a DIY carport leaning precariously against the side of an otherwise glamorous home, which serves only to reduce the overall value.
This is the I Can't Believe It's Not MKR sideshow in which the eliminated contestants whose lawyers couldn't get them out of it come back to a cooking purgatory where one of them may one day get to re-enter the competition.
As though it was in any way the same show, the MKR voice gives us an update on what happened last time on My Kitchen Rules.
To be fair though, this is a segment that now holds genuine value as a quarter of the audience have buggered off to watch The Voice and we learn that in Perth on Wednesday, the cupcake queens gave it all they had ... and were thusly eliminated as tear soup with a side of self-pity lacked a certain something.
The producers, assuming you have sustained a brain injury in the last week, know that you're shocked to discover they haven't really been eliminated, because all of seven days ago we discovered it is near impossible to get kicked off this show without using curry powder.
Jenna and Joanna join Mick and Matt, and Angela and Melina, in the place that cooking forgot, Colin Fassnidge's experiential dining restaurant, where the experience is choosing how much to pay to watch what you believe has to be performance art.
Colin gives them all an hour-and-a-half to cook a test menu that is to be served at a restaurant quality. Note that is "a" restaurant. My First Kitchen from Mattel is a restaurant right?
Colin says if their test menus are restaurant quality he'll let them cook tonight, but then spoils the fun by admitting only one of the teams can be eliminated, and there's no circumstance under which the customers are saved from themselves and told to just go home.
Jenna and Joanna choose duck because they've never cooked it before in the competition and also because whenever Jenna goes to a restaurant the first thing she looks for is duck. This is all very Leunig to me.
Mick and Matt are cooking cray tails with abalone mash, followed by a meringue roulade and frankly they're sounding competent so we'll just move on ...
... to Angela and Melina. Who aren't.
They're making veal saltimbocca which apparently means an "an explosion in your mouth" and they hope to create exactly that: an explosion in Colin's mouth. Though with his accent it will sound like an exploooshun.
The tedium of cooking with a guitar riff soundtrack is soon interrupted by a bit of bickering over who is using and opening the oven. Oven sharing turns out a lot like house-sharing: prone to arguments that are best not presented as interesting for anyone else to watch. In fact if this could just be reduced to post-it notes on the fridge it could only be more entertaining.
Joanna takes a moment to explain how she has learned so much every day in the MKR kitchen, particularly about coping with pressure. Jenna nods in the way of someone who doesn't understand a word she's saying, or possibly even speak the same language ... before she crumbles under the pressure of getting her nod right and bursts into tears.
Angela is stuffing her artichokes and ... oh look you can make your own jokes out of that one.
Mick and Matt have moved on to advanced level baseless drama creation. Matt proceeds to execute every step of preparing his roulade pretty darn well, which is pretty darn obvious from the footage, but the boys try pretty darn hard in retrospective narration to suggest it was all almost a disaster.
Joanna realises she's running out of time while Angela realises she's gone off like an advertisement for nasal sprays and has dressed her salad far earlier than she meant to.
Around about now, blow-by-blow instalments of the cooking become entirely redundant, as watching wildly inept people be wildly inept is wearing a bit thin. Suffice it to say, Mick is confident about his cray tails, Jenna and Joanna are yelling at each other while not crisping their duck skin, Melina says it's ok that their dish looks bad because its traditional ... and time's up. Colin agrees with that last point, as Angela and Melina are to plating what a carsick child is to leather upholstery, then Colin complains that eating artichoke peasant style is hard work and moves on.
Mick and Matt have gone seriously down the rustic route says Colin, and proves that he is to comedy what a carsick child is to the people trapped in the car with him by asking if they want him to eat the roulade or jump over it.
Finally he says that Jenna and Joanna's dish was, on paper, a winner. However he wanted sauce and they instead served the duck up in what looked like a crime scene.
Colin stands the teams in a line and explains that he's not sure they all "deserve to go true tonight" thankfully this isn't an episode of My Kitchen Polygraph, so we move on.
Ok, that's my last accent joke, I promise.
"I'm only going to let through the teams I think will perform and will get great food out tonight" says Colin, and if you didn't predict it already, or if you quite reasonably changed channels on the assumption that meant the show was over, he means they're all cooking tonight.
Melina says this is a mind twist and like being in a bad relationship. Which is ironic, as I'm pretty sure Australia just said "Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!"
After the break, the teams explain what's going on tonight – they cook, someone goes home – but not why tonight is happening at all. Then they head back to the kitchen to do exactly what we've already seen, only with the sort of economies of scale that really facilitate panic, stress and a race to be the first to screw up.
And the winner is: Jenna!
Her crème patissiere is in fact sweet scrambled eggs and that, she says, is her "worst nightmare". She gets the patissiere right the second time though, because she "shows it love and it shows me love back" and that image has officially updated my worst nightmare. Jenna and Joanna are serving their fiasco with a side order of crumble tonight as they convince themselves there isn't time to do all that they had planned, so Jenna reluctantly agrees to leave her crying until after service. Meanwhile, season two of Four's A Crowd, the wacky oven-based sitcom that takes place on the other side of the kitchen has started up and it's about as funny a use of an oven as Sylvia Plath's. We jump back to the other side of the kitchen to see that Jenna and Joanna's policy of talking themselves out of success is working well as Colin announces 30 minutes to go and Jenna amps up her insecurity to self-destruction levels.
If there's one thing less interesting than watching Jenna wobble her lower lip then I'd be interested in flicking over to it, but before you can say "no seriously, who took the freaking remote?" Jenna and Joanna take a "finished" plate over to Colin and suggest they may improve their plating technique by adding micro-herbs. He instead suggests they improve their plating, by plating it in the manner of someone with eyesight. He re-assembles ... well assembles the food on a second plate and Joanna stares at him as though he is some sort of alien creature. He is. He's a chef.
Customers arrive and Mick is upset none of them have ordered the crayfish.
Then, hold on to your hats, people order the crayfish. I'm just glad I was here to witness this.
The passive aggressive championships that were the oven time-share have now progressed to amateur clock-watching as Melina and Mick debate the minutiae of minutes.
Then Pete and Manu arrive, yes they actually walk in the door, and it is so monumentally interesting by comparison to what has gone before that the editors use some heavy bass-filled rap anthem as their soundtrack.
When you're making Pete and Manu look like gangstas, you need to get back to the treehouse and work on your club's intimidation tactics. Joanna holds up the service for the VIPs, but before any drama accidentally breaks out, the gangstas get their grub. Word.
Pete and Manu think Angela and Melina's veal is dry but impressive, Mick and Matt's cray dish is the best abalone they've had in the competition for which they'd pay top dollar, while Jenna and Joanna's duck is cooked beautifully and is of restaurant quality. They mark it 10 out of 10, though not actually, because this spin-off competition doesn't have scores. Or competition. Or really much to speak of. The duck is a fantastic foundation for Jenna to build her dessert on. Which she would do, if it wasn't a liquid. Unsurprisingly, Colin's not happy. He wants a bowl. Sadly, he doesn't give this to Jenna and tell her to go beg for whatever she can get with her tears, instead he shows Jenna how to plate, well bowl up her tart-shake. She says it looks like Strawberry soup in a bowl. The customers, those poor bastards who are served this mess sum it up even better: it looks like breakfast cereal. This makes sense really, it is clear that the title Dessert Queen is like King Willy Weetie, it's an honorific that bears no relation to Jenna's ability to, say, actually make dessert.
Colin sends Matt and his meringue back as it's on a hot plate, not a cold plate, and this is the edge of your seat stuff that you can only dream of seeing this time next week.
Jenna starts shouting out random time allotments – two seconds, 30 seconds – before getting the next tart out of the fridge. Colin wants to know if it's set. Joanna wants to know if it's set. Even we, the audience, are vaguely curious if it is set. Jenna keeps saying she hopes it's set ... but just won't cut the blessed thing to find out. Finally she does. It is set. And this has two genuinely mind-jolting effects. She sings. And Colin kisses her.
Kiss free, Pete and Manu are disappointed in the strawberry tart, love the meringue (like a cloud, says Manu), while Angelina and Melina's Middle Eastern coconut cake with rose water is a perfect way to finish a meal. Though sadly not a TV show.
Colin joins Pete and Manu to reflect that tonight's Comeback Kitchen has been a lot better than the first Comeback Kitchen, which is the sort of standard we all wish we were held to.
What it hasn't been is shorter. Somehow this is two hours of programming. But at least it's been chock full of developments, twists and turns right? Yeah, right, there's no padding out of the show here.
None at all. So, once the exact same feedback we've already heard Manu and Pete give to each other at length is relayed at length to the teams, the only dish that gets a backhand is Jenna's tart. And.
Wait for it.
I know this will shock you.
Jenna cries. Even Joanna looks like she couldn't care less. As Colin announces that Mick and Matt have, again, taken out the customer's vote, Jenna looks tired and depressed and we all know exactly how she feels. In fact Jenna is the perfect example of the difference between empathy and sympathy: I feel exactly what she feels, but I just don't care. Jenna says in voice over that she hopes it's not her and Joanna who have been eliminated. She really, really hopes that.
It is.
Colin says Jenna and Joanna are going home because they can't have their hands held any more. He then says it's a pity because Joanna's duck was amazing. Then the entire room turns and points at Jenna, screaming "IT'S YOUR FAULT!"
Jenna can't hear them over the voices in her head though, so she takes a moment to tell us about how the show hasn't killed her love for cooking so it's all ok.
Joanna is ominously silent. It's possible that some love has been killed after all.
And as we all breathe the sigh of contentment that comes from being let out of a cramped closet we accidentally locked ourselves into for two hours where we entertained one another by gargling mystery cleaning products in the dark just to see what happened, the voice of My Kitchen Rules promises that there will be another episode of the proper show – you know, the one with the competition that isn't entirely redundant – tomorrow night, featuring food trucks ...
... and more My Kitchen Rejects next Sunday, which will feature something that rhymes with "food truck ups".
Till then, we can all just truck off.

Purely out of interest, is all.

At The Brown Derby in Disney's Hollywood Studios, the Flourless Chocolate Cake is served with sorbet on the side for $8 (plus tax and tip). At the Starring Rolls bakery next door, you can get a slice of the same cake (without garnish) for under $3.
I hope this helps.

We're planning on dessert there this coming Saturday, so I'll let you know.
I see you've seen Remy. We're planning on lunch at Chefs de France this coming Tuesday.

It looks like neither rumor is true. The Brown Derby makes the desserts for Starring Rolls Cafe, and while it's true that you can get some of the desserts at Starring Rolls (like the grapefruit cake and flourless chocolate cake) you can't get all the desserts there. We asked twice about the Banana White Chocolate Toffee Tower and were told twice that you can't get it at Starring Rolls. So we stopped in at Brown Derby just for desserts. Since we have the Tables in Wonderland card it wasn't too bad.

Here's my crack at sharing a little video with you. This is an MPEG-4 file and is much smaller and easier to download than some of the other videos around. However, this means that it is what I call a "convenience over quality" file. As I said before, about YT quality.
Here's a test file. This is from the 2006 World championships. I want your feedback as to the quality/practicality. This one is on the large side- 10MB- but only because it's excessively long.

Oprah Guru's Deadly Sweat Lodge Involved Induced Vomiting, 'Vomit Everywhere'
So, that horrifying sweat lodge where Oprah-endorsed guru James Arthur Ray may or may not have inadvertently killed three people? NYT has some new eye witness reports, and they're as scary, icky, and infuriatingly New-Agey as you thought.
Texas orthodontist Beverley Bunn told The New York Times that the sweat ceremony was the rebirth phase of a "vision quest." Much like an actual birth, disgusting things spewed from everyone's orifices and a lot of pain was involved: "There were people throwing up everywhere" based on the kinda-bulimic advice that vomiting "was good for you, that you are purging what your body doesn't want, what it doesn't need." Apparently the body doesn't need consciousness, either, because at least three vision quest-ers passed out during the session, Bunn and others claim. When horrified participants yelled for help, Ray said he would "deal" with it later.
The experience cost $9,695. And, as if paying money to be trapped in a coal-heated, plastic-wrapped, life-threatening wigwam in the middle of the desert with 50 fellow "spiritual warriors," then watching them die before your very eyes, weren't bad enough, James Arthur Ray is apparently not letting up on his New Age bullshit: He brought a "channeler" into a conference call with the likely PTSD-ridden sweat lodge participants. She explained that the spiritual warriors' deceased peers were not, in fact, the victims of homicide—rather, they had powerful out-of-body experiences and it was "so much fun" that they decided not to come back. Seriously, could you even invent a more tasteless line of reasoning for the future Law & Order episode this is clearly about to become?
Local police are investigating the deaths as homicides, but despite the surviving warriors' most obvious wishes, James Arthur Ray has not been charged.

Teixeira named AL Player of the Week
First baseman bats .414 from Aug. 29-Sept. 4
By Jordan Bastian / Special to MLB.com
Mark Teixeira's showing this week had his manager at a loss for words at times. "Mark had a big day. My goodness," was all Texas manager Buck Showalter could say after Teixeira belted two home runs on July 30. The 25-year-old first baseman hit .414 with three homers, 12 RBIs and seven runs in seven games this week en route to being named the Bank of America American League Player of the Week for the period ending Sept. 4. Teixeira, who won a Silver Slugger Award last season, posted a .500 on-base percentage, collected four walks and led the AL with an .862 slugging percentage and 25 total bases last week. In the first game of a doubleheader on July 30 with the White Sox, owners of the AL's best record, Teixeira belted two long balls and notched six RBIs. The day before, Teixeira went 3-for-4 and collected his 100th RBI of the year against Chicago. The Maryland native followed by slipping into an 0-for-9 slump during the next three games. But Teixeira, who was selected to his first All-Star Game this year, snapped out of it by finishing the week 6-for-12 with a home run, four RBIs and four runs in the next three games. On Sept. 2, Teixeira went 2-for-4 and hit the ninth triple of his short career. "What I like about this year compared to last year is that I really haven't had a lot of fluctuation from big highs to big lows," Teixeira said this week. "When you do that, your team can count on you pretty much every game to make a contribution." Teixeira hit .333 with six home runs and 22 RBIs in August and is currently hitting .288 through 138 games. His 35 homers and 111 RBIs rank fifth and third in the American League, respectively. Last season, Teixeira had a .281 average with 38 homers and 112 RBIs in 145 games for the Rangers. "There's a ton of room for me to grow," Teixeira said. "I'm still working on a lot of things and trying to get better." The weekly honor was the third such award in Teixeira's career and the second he's won this season -- the other coming in the third week of May. He was selected over Boston's John Olerud (.533, three home runs and 11 RBIs) and Chicago's Jermaine Dye (.286, four homers, eight RBIs). New York Yankees pitcher Aaron Small (2-0, 0.00 ERA, 13 innings) was also considered. A $1,000 donation will be made by the Bank of America to the Little League Urban Initiative on behalf of Teixeira as part of the award.

BACKSTORY (January 1956–Present): The East Side of Main Street is where you will find this favorite shop. In 1955, Disneyland hired two specialists in silhouette cutting, Alex Degonslar (8/30/1899 - 8/7/1966) and Joseph Markay (5/21/1905 - 10/19/1968). Markay was better known as "Nemo" and he often signed his early silhouettes in this way. The two were interviewed in early editions of the "Disneyland News" newspaper and were featured in an episode of the Disneyland television series called "An Adventure in Art," which was broadcst in April 1958. Today, you can still get your silhouette hand-cut by this shop's talented artists. From the OC Register, August 14, 2012:
From a Disneyland office, two artists capture the profiles of babies, grandparents, dogs, cats, parrots, horses, goats, a hedgehog and even a vintage car. Sometimes they work from photos, but usually from the people themselves. Halos are sometimes placed above those who have died. Over the decades, the two have worked at the Disneyland Silhouette studio to create more than 4 million images, using surgical scissors to cut outlines of faces with black paper in a half-minute that are placed on white backing. The studio opened on Main Street, U.S.A. in January 1956, six months after the park opened. Bonnie Elliott has been here 38 years; Sylvia Fellows, 33 years. Two other artists have worked for shorter periods.
"I'm drawing with my scissors. It's very fun. It's like a game," said Elliott, 61, of Redondo Beach. The studio is one of the few deliberately messy places in Disneyland: Employees are told to keep the paper scraps on the floor. Fellows has created up to 434 images in a shift. Elliott has done 472 pictures in eight hours; she can do some in as little as 15 seconds. Artists cut two mirror-image copies at a time. Each head costs $9 each.
A Northern California pastor asked church members to get their portraits done if they went to Disneyland so his wife could put them in their house. So artists kept hearing from customers who wanted portraits for "the pastor's wife."
One day, a woman came in and said, "You know me. I'm the pastor's wife." She went on to collect portraits of 147 individuals and a dog. Fellows once cut the profile of a terminally ill child because her parents wanted to use the art for her grave. Others are replicated for tattoos or jewelry. Elliott had one couple get silhouettes when they were dating and later come back with their own children and then their grandchildren.
Mike Healy of Alamo in Northern California brought his two daughters. He recognized Fellows as having completed 13-year-old Gabrielle's portrait when she was 5. "I wanted to keep the tradition going on," Healy said. "Hopefully, their kids will get a chance."

David Frum, former speechwriter for George W. Bush, is supposed to be one of the 'sane Republicans', a breed that is on the verge of extinction. Kevin Drum points to his strange argument as to why it is better for Mitt Romney to win.
Frum says:
The congressional Republicans have shown themselves a destructive and irrational force in American politics. But we won't reform the congressional GOP by re-electing President Obama. If anything, an Obama re-election will not only aggravate the extremism of the congressional GOP, but also empower them: an Obama re-election raises the odds in favor of big sixth-year sweep for the congressional GOP – and very possibly a seventh-year impeachment. A Romney election will at least discourage the congressional GOP from deliberately pushing the US into recession in 2013. Added bonus: a Romney presidency likely means that the congressional GOP will lose seats in 2014, as they deserve.
Basically he is saying that although the Republican congress is nuts, if Obama is re-elected, they will go even more nuts and completely blow up the country. So vote Republican!
Yes, even the sane Republicans have gone nuts.

NZ conference Super-close to call
The defending champion Chiefs and perennially-strong Crusaders present the most compelling case that New Zealand will claim a 12th title in the 18th edition of Super Rugby.
Deeper rosters at the Hurricanes and Highlanders and some bright signs from the overhauled Blues points to a keenly-fought New Zealand conference over the next five months.
New Zealand Rugby Union boss Steve Tew boasted at a recent competition launch that South African and Australian teams will struggle to match the quality on show in his country.
Tew may be biased, but an absence of serious injuries and a trickle, rather than torrent, of top players heading offshore since last year leaves a Kiwi conference brimming with class and depth.
Picking who will emerge top among the five franchises is no easy task.
Local bookmakers say the Crusaders will end a four-year habit of faltering in the playoffs under coach Todd Blackadder since predecessor Robbie Deans steered them to title No.7 in 2008.
The red and blacks will miss peerless flanker Richie McCaw, who is on a sabbatical for most of the competition.
But a clutch of other All Blacks in the pack and the guiding hand of Dan Carter at five-eighth suggests a 15th visit to the playoffs is close to inevitable.
Once there, Blackadder reckons they'll be in a better mental space than in recent years.
"If anything, probably we've bought into that too much - it's always been about winning a title or else you're gone," he said.
"Nothing's changed but we're going to enjoy it this year and the end result will take care of itself."
The Chiefs have reached the post-season just three times - less than any New Zealand outfit - but fully deserved their maiden crown in 2012.
Coach Dave Rennie's introduction of players he trusted to the franchise and a no-frills attitude paid dividends as they improved from 10th to first.
It's a more settled lineup this year, although they'll miss the x-factor that Sonny Bill Williams brought to the midfield.
That shouldn't matter, says Rennie, whose side are sure to be as methodical up front and base much of their attack around the selective strikes of No.10 Aaron Cruden.
"In the past the Chiefs have had a lot of rock stars and probably not a lot of workers," Rennie said.
"We're making sure we've got complementary players and the balance right."
The Hurricanes and Highlanders will have designs on higher finishes than their eighth and ninth respectively last year.
Coach Mark Hammett has lost star winger Cory Jane to a season-ending knee injury but his young Hurricanes backline achieved thrilling deeds without Jane in 2012, playing the brightest football of any team.
There's no reason five-eighth Beauden Barrett and outside backs Julian Savea and Andre Taylor can't shine again behind a bullish young pack boosted by prop Ben Franks from the Crusaders.
For major off-season transfers, though, nobody beats the previously-unfashionable Highlanders, who have added the considerable muscle of Brad Thorn at lock and lured veteran Blues All Blacks Tony Woodcock and Ma'a Nonu south.
Those departures were a body blow to a Blues side already stripped of numerous players from their tumultuous campaign under departed coach Pat Lam which ended in a worst-ever placing of 12th.
Sir John Kirwan - with support from assistant Sir Graham Henry - has been left to mould a raw squad, half of whom are new to this level.
The two knights have conjured a promising Blues pre-season campaign but that has only to quietened dire season predictions for the three-time champions.

Yea, I have seen my bike broken in half 8 times on my 2005 r1200gs, not a pretty sight. I have had 8 counterbalance seals replaced, six engine out put seals, 3 transmission input and 2 transmission output seals replaced. Along with the 3 clutch slave cylinders, the counterbalance itself and the front counterbalance bearing. All replaced under the 3 year factory warranty or the 2 year parts and labor warranty. You will probably not have any more leaks but keep an eye open for the tale tell oily line where the transmission and engine bolt together.
Enjoy the bike, it is a great bike.

About Forest Home Farms Historic Park
Click Here for Park Information
Click Here For Upcoming Events
In 1997, Ruth Quayle Boone bequeathed the 16-acre Boone family farm known as Forest Home Farms, at 19953 San Ramon Valley Boulevard, to the City of San Ramon for use as a municipal historic park in memory of her husband, Travis Moore Boone. After Ruth Boone's death in 1998 at the age of 94, the City expanded the memorial to include Ruth, in honor of her generosity to the people of San Ramon and in recognition of the contribution women made to agriculture in the San Ramon Valley.
In light of the recent, widespread development of agricultural lands for residential subdivisions in Contra Costa County and the rise of land values, the gift was extraordinary. Frequently approached by developers who wished to purchase the farm for subdivision, Mrs. Boone chose instead to preserve Forest Home Farms in perpetuity and give this large parcel of land to the people of San Ramon so that they too could enjoy the beauty of the property. The City accepted the property with the vision and foresight to recognize its potential as a regional open space that could provide recreational and educational opportunities possibly unsurpassed in the rapidly changing landscape of Contra Costa County.
The 16-acre farm is located at the base of the East Bay Hills and Oak Creek divides it in two almost equal parts. The northern portion of the site contains all of the structures built or used by the Boone's, except for the cistern that sits atop a hill on the southwest corner. The structures include 2 houses, fourteen outbuildings and two pergolas. The houses represent almost a century of residential development in the valley. The Boone House is a 22-room Dutch colonial that was remodeled several times since it was built in 1900. This home will eventually serves as offices and meeting center. The fourteen outbuildings vary significantly in date and size, including a barn originally built in the period from 1850 to 1860, a 7000 square-foot farm equipment and automobile storage structure and a three-building walnut processing plant that includes a three-story hulling and drying structure.
The southern portion of the property is now home to the Glass House Museum, a Victorian style home and its tank house built in 1877. This home was relocated from its original site at Lora Nita Farm. The Glass House is a two-story, wood frame dwelling with a one-story rear wing, which may be older than the main body of the house. The tank house, somewhat modified from historic condition, is a two-story, wood-frame structure that is probably slightly later in date than the house. The Glass House has recently been restored to its original beauty and is open for tours and a Victorian Life education program.

Unapproved Manuka gazebo pulled down
A gazebo built in public space by a Manuka eatery was ordered to be removed within hours of being installed after residents complained to Territory and Municipal Services.
The owners of Urban Pantry were ordered to remove the structure on Tuesday afternoon after it was up for only six hours.
Urban Pantry co-owner Luke Jennings said the gazebo, which was installed over an area used by the restaurant for outdoor dining, had been completely removed.
"There is no gazebo. Everything's been taken down," he said.
The deputy chairperson of the Inner South Canberra Community Council, Anne Forrest, was one of the residents who contacted TAMS with concerns about the structure. She said there was no development application for the fixed gazebo, which had been cemented in place.
The structure had been built off Bougainville Street in an open courtyard, shared by numerous cafes and businesses, next to one of two public lawn areas.
Ms Forrest said it was important to retain public space in Manuka and maintain the beauty of the area.
"There are more than enough places for people to sit and eat and drink in Manuka now," she said.
A Territory and Municipal Services spokeswoman said the cafe had began building a permanent undercover structure, including a roof intended to have lighting, heaters and drop down sides, to sit above an area it had been legally using for outdoor seating.
A resident had reported this was happening last week in an area nominated to the ACT Heritage Register.
"Territory and Municipal Services rangers investigated the matter to discover that no development approval had been granted for the work, however, by the time they attended the site, the pavement had been completely reinstated suggesting the work was no longer taking place. Since the café owners were overseas at the time, TAMS rangers decided to postpone any further action until they returned," she said.
But the resident called TAMS again on Tuesday saying work crews had returned to the site.
"Following this alert, TAMS rangers attended the café and issued the owner with a notice to stop work. The notice requests that all structures be removed within seven days," she said.
"If the café owner wishes to proceed with this work they must lodge a development application for consideration by the planning and land authority as well as apply for a licence under the Planning and Development Act."
The application will take that factors such as safety, public amenity and the "look and feel" of an area is considered.

Chris Kamara
Football Expert & Columnist @chris_kammy
End of an era
Kammy blogs on Fergie's send-off and says Moyes' Man Utd move offers hope for British bosses.
Last Updated: 13/05/13 8:36pm
Every Saturday, Chris Kamara heads to stadiums up and down the country to deliver his unique match reports for Soccer Saturday.
On Sundays you can see Kammy back in the Sky Sports studios as he brings you all of the highlights on Goals on Sunday.
And then you can find him right here on skysports.com as he brings you his views on the weekend action.
Read below for Kammy's thoughts on this weekend's stories, as he looks at Sir Alex Ferguson's send-off, Wayne Rooney's future and Wigan's FA Cup win...
Sir Alex Ferguson got a fantastic farewell
Sir Alex Ferguson got a tremendous send-off. And what a legend he is - he's the greatest manager in my lifetime. I don't think there's anything more to be said; there has been tribute after tribute pouring in since the news was announced. Normally people only get these plaudits when they've died so I just feel it's brilliant he gets to see this response now and can realise just how much he's contributed to football and the world.
David Moyes must seize his opportunity for the good of all British managers
David Moyes got a great round of applause at Goodison Park on Sunday. Everything has ended amicably there; the Everton fans don't begrudge Moyes going to United, they appreciate the financial constraints he was under and what an opportunity this is for him.
It was nice to see Moyes, a British manager, get offered the United job instead of a foreign manager coming in. It gives our managers in this country hope. A lot of them are working hard, in the same way as young players trying to get into the game, but feel they are blocked because of the number of foreign players and coaches in the game. Now we've got a British manager given a big opportunity and you hope he's successful and more British managers can be given a chance in the top jobs.
Wayne Rooney seems to be on his way out of Old Trafford - but where do you go from Manchester United?
Wayne Rooney and his former Everton boss David Moyes were involved in a legal dispute after the England striker released his autobiography a few years ago. Can they get over that? They should be able to. I don't see Moyes as someone who holds grudges. But Rooney doesn't seem to be happy at United. Sir Alex has done a lot for him and for Rooney to say he didn't want to play in the final game would have been a kick in the teeth for the manager.
Rooney made his point and it looks like he'll be on his way. But, as Gary Neville said on Sky Sports over the weekend, where do you go from United?
You have to go to a club such as Juventus, Real Madrid, Barcelona or Bayern Munich. I'm not saying those clubs are bigger than Manchester United but they are big clubs in their own right. If you go to PSG they don't have the history of those clubs.
Then again, Rooney might think it's a challenge to help them make that history, like when Diego Maradona went to Napoli. However, I'm not sure those impacts can happen anymore. If you put Lionel Messi, the best player in the world, in a struggling Premier League team they wouldn't suddenly be able to win the title.
Wigan won the FA Cup and memories which will stay with them forever on Saturday
Wigan fully deserved to beat Man City in the FA Cup final on Saturday. They weren't getting battered, they were opening City up. We had Joleon Lescott on Goals on Sunday and he said when City played Wigan at the Etihad a couple of weeks ago they really struggled and had to grind out a win. They thought it would be the same on Saturday and with Wigan having a few chances and not taking them it looked that way. But then sub Ben Watson came on and made the difference.
Would Wigan swap that FA Cup win for three points against Arsenal? You'd probably say no. To go to a major cup final and win...Wigan fans may never see the like of that again. They had an experience they could never have imagined and you can't take it away from them.
If they play that well against Arsenal on Tuesday night they could get a win at the Emirates - but, with Spurs beating Stoke, that will make Arsenal even more determined. It should be a great game.
It's crazy Chelsea aren't offering record-breaking Frank Lampard a new deal
Frank Lampard broke Bobby Tambling's scoring record for Chelsea with his brace against Aston Villa on Saturday. Unlike Tambling, every one of Lampard's strikes for the Blues have come in the top flight, which makes his an even bigger achievement. He's a legend and I can't see anyone beating his tally of 203.
But what on earth are Chelsea thinking by not offering him a new deal? Even when it is plain they have no intention of giving him a new contract he's carried on performing at a high level like the true professional he is. He's top draw in my book.
If I was in charge of any of the clubs in the Premier League I'd make him an offer now; he's a great person to have around. Even now, at the back end of the season, when Chelsea have played more games than anyone else, he was looking fresh as a daisy on Saturday. Young Fabian Delph couldn't live with him.
Their season's virtually done and dusted but there's plenty for Liverpool fans to look forward to
I was at Fulham-Liverpool on Sunday and witnessed Daniel Sturridge's hat-trick and I have to say he was brilliant. He could have scored six but Mark Schwarzer made some great saves in the Fulham goal. Liverpool looked very good. I know Fulham have been toiling over the last few weeks and winning at home has become difficult for them but take nothing away from Liverpool. They were in really good form.
Liverpool have got a lot to look forward to and the fans are starting to believe that now. Coutinho, in particular, was outstanding; Sturridge scored a hat-trick but Coutinho was man of the match. His pass for the third goal was fantastic.
There was one turning point in the game, though: the handball shout just before Sturridge scored his second goal. If Fulham had been awarded a penalty then the course of the game could have changed completely. But once it wasn't, and Sturridge doubled the Reds' advantage, it was game over.

Although the Dynamo are ten points back of a playoff spot with seven games remaining, players and coaches remain optimistic and know that the path to the postseason begins this Saturday when the Dynamo host Toronto FC.
Houston will have to face Toronto without midfielder Anthony Obodai, who will be out indefinitely after undergoing surgery to repair a torn meniscus.
Tomorrow night the Dynamo will host the inaugural 'Dine with the Dynamo' event. Fans will not only have the opportunity to dine with their favorite players and coaches, but will be able to purchase a cookbook featuring delicious recipes, courtesy of the players and their families.
The Dynamo Academy was in action this past weekend with the U-16s 2-1 winning and the U-18s falling 3-1 to the Lonestar Aztex. Academy players also made their mark for their respective collegiate teams, with Josue Soto tallying a goal and an assist for Southern Methodist University on Sunday.
Jordan Wise of SB Nation runs down a list of potential Designated Player signings for the Dynamo.
In the latest edition of Canetti's Corner, the Dynamo COO talks about the latest developments with the stadium project and last week's visit by the FIFA inspection team.
Former Dynamo midfielder Stuart Holden had a special guest in the stands last Saturday when his Bolton Wanderers squad took on Arsenal.
SI.com columnist Steve Davis offers his thoughts on this past weekend in MLS.
The Russian Football Union announced on Monday that the country's leagues will switch to the fall-to-spring season starting next year. Brian Straus of AOL Fanhouse believes MLS should not follow suit.

ANAHEIM – Traffic lanes along Broadway and Lemon Street quickly reopened Tuesday after crews repaired a 2-inch gas line that ruptured.
The incident was reported at about 11:26 a.m. on Broadway and Lemon Street, according to MetroNet, an emergency fire dispatch center. By about 12:20 p.m., all lanes were cleared.
"It started to be a larger incident, but the Gas Co. pinched it off pretty quickly," said Maria Sabol, a spokeswoman for the Anaheim Fire Department.
Affected intersections included: Broadway and Lemon Street, Santa Ana and Lemon streets, and Santa Ana Street and Harbor Boulevard, said Anaheim police Sgt. William Jefferson.
About 21 Anaheim firefighters were at the scene and no injuries were reported, Sabol said.

Watch this old man wake up to some of his favorite music. It's pretty incredible to see the power of some good tunes. I'm sure there are some pretty deep neural connections in the brain that can be aroused even in the wake of serious mental deterioration.
The clip is from a new documentary, titled "Alive Inside", that follows social worker Dan Cohen, executive director of the non-profit Music & Memory, as he brings iPods to a nursing home.
It's pretty breathtaking, and it surely gives credence to music therapy.

I have not very latest PC but it is still good to play Games.
Here is my System Configuration
Intel dual core 2.2x2 - ProcessorIntel DG41TY - Mother BoardWindows 7 - 64 bitNormal Power Supply 400 watt1 GB DDR RAM (2 slots)160 GB SATA Western DigitalPCIe x 16
The previous 3D Card which was used:Nvidia GE Force 7200 GS256 MB400 Mhz clock speed64 bit
Please suggest a 3D Card which can be used based on my System Hardware Configuration.
Anyone Please! =)
Try nVidia GT 540M 2gb graphics card. I am using from last 2 years till now no maintenance is required. The nVidia GT 540M is good enough to play many games with medium settings that are not too demanding. I have also played Max Payne 3 on it with medium settings and there is no lags in video performance at all. So i will recommend it.
You can go for ATI Radeon 5770,6770 or 7770. Price of this is almost same and provides much better functionality.
I can't even remember the graphic card in my computer but it came with 2GB of memory and it is good to play any game. I do have a higher processor than yours.
nVidia cards have always worked for me so I'd go for that option. Nothing against ATI.
I'm oscillating between nVidia cards ATI Radeon. But previously I used nvidia card to play games on Personal computer. Lets see others options.
Hello friends,
You can try to use Gigabyte G1.Sniper M3 3D graphic card to play games. clearty of this graphic is best for run games.Try it.:):):):):):):)
My favorite is NVIDIA. I think most of time it is best. Try to use google for more good suggestion. I think you can get there helpful advice.
Choosing Graphic Card depends on:1) Prefered screen resolution2) Using or not PhysX and 3D tech from NVIDIA3) Power of power source4) Personal preferences for heat and noise.

Nuvia Ion Exchange Resins are a family of best-in-class ion exchangers designed to provide high binding capacities and/or exceptional resolution depending on chemistry and particle size chosen by the process developer. Their exceptional purification performance and high productivity makes these resins ideal for biosimilar and biotherapeutic downstream processes.
High-throughput experimentation (HTE) was used in this case study in concert with design of experiments (DOE) methodology to study the mass recovery of a basic therapeutic protein (pI 9.2–9.5) using a hydrophobic cation exchange mixed-mode resin.
Bio-Rad now offers two ultra-high capacity ion exchangers: Nuvia S, which can be used for capture and/or intermediate polishing, and Nuvia Q, which can be used for intermediate and/or final polishing.
Nuvia HR-S Resin is a small-particle-size, high-resolution cation exchange resin designed for intermediate and final polishing purification steps where the separation of closely related biomolecules is challenging.
Nuvia S is an ultra-high capacity, next-generation cation exchange resin built on the industry-proven UNOsphere™ base matrix technology. Nuvia S resin may be used in both the capture and polishing of biotherapeutics.
Nuvia Q is an ultra-high binding capacity anion exchange resin with wide pH and flow rate working ranges ideal for process development. It is the next-generation ion exchange resin of choice for biosimilars, delivering high-concentration feed titers.
Nuvia cPrime is a mixed-mode ion exchange media designed for versatile capture and high recovery across a wide range of salt concentrations and pH in process-scale applications for biosimilar and biotherapeutic purification.

Discussion in 'Fan Fiction' started by Bry_Sinclair, Apr 13, 2013.
Movie night aboard the Boone would look something like this:
I designed the Archer class ship, so I discussed ship names a bit with Marco Palmieri, the editor behind the books. The name of the ship in the books was USS Sagittarius, so I think all ships were named after famous archers. Unless the captain of the USS Enterprise (NX-01) was famously handy with a bow and arrow, I suspect the ships of the class weren't named after him. In fact, I suspect the class is like some UK Royal Navy classes that are named for a theme (e.g., Tribal class, County class) rather than for the lead ship (that is, there is no USS Archer). On Deviant Art, lots of CG artists have done scenes with Archer class ships and have given them such names as Rama, Artemis, and Scythia. So archer names are on the right track, I think.
Thank you for that Masao. I've decided to start looking down the path of famous/fictional archers to see what jumps out at me.
Might I make one last suggestion? What about Wanderer? I'm not beholden to the name so you're welcome to use it, sir.
If I had a starship, I'd name it the Tardis.
USS Oliver Queen?
USS Clint Barton?
I'm acutally thinking of going with the S.S. Hawkeye
You know that's Clint's nom de guerre, right?
I do. I just think Hawkeye sounds better.
That and I generallt dislike ships that have someone's full name, if they're not famous enough to be known by just their surname they don't deserve a starship named after them
I thought I'd share the fantastic photomanipulations made by FltCpt. Bossco for the crew of my little civvie ship (who I hope to tinker with in the near future). So here you have the crew of the Daystrom Institute (DI) research scout Hawkeye (2378):
Warren Bakare (Captain) - Chiwetel Ejiofor
Leyn Naavar (Boatswain) - Lena Headey
Halora Jofe (Engineer) - Miranda Hart
Kayden Nell (Communications) - Richard Winsor
Jill Reese (Helmswoman) - Carey Mulligan
Echo (DI Android) - Sienna Guillory
T'Lyn Kenyon (Archaeologist) - Karima Adebibe
Rodahl (Researcher) - Kevin McKidd
Vani Sharma (Sciences) - Parminder Nagra
Sissrook (Forensics) - Clive Owen (voice)
Ry-Vahn (Scout) - Henry Cavill
Kier Balen (Intern) - Luke Mably
All credit for the work goes to the artist, all I did was the casting.
I like it but how do you explain a Bajoran in the 23rd century? And a Bolian? Because we didn't see either in canon Trek until TNG so I'm curious about how you're going to spin this.
This looks like this could be one of your more successful crews like Silverfin and Trident.
Because it set in 2378.
Oh, duh, I feel stupid. Why such an old ship? Anyways, great crew selection!
From my first post:
The ship may look old on the outside, but the DI has radically upgraded every system without losing any of the aesthetics or styling.
Given that everyone except the CO and XO on an Archer-class ship apparently bunk in pairs/shifts, who gets to share a bedspace with a Gorn?
For the Hawkeye the accommodations are a little different than when she was first launched in 2264. Captain Bakare and Doctor Kenyon are the ones who occupy the single cabins (as the ship's CO and science team leader respectively), whilst all then other cabins have been fitted with bunkbeds so the rest of the crew share:
- Naavar and Sharma
- Jofe and Reese
- Kayden and Balen
- Rodahl and Ry-Vahn
Echo doesn't require sleep, instead she simply recharges in the lab or engine room when needed. Doctor Sissrook is a late addition to the crew and, as yet, I've still got to figure out exactly where he will be bunking.
Is your captain actually going to be a full four-pip Captain? That seems a bit excessive for such a small crew.
A lieutenant would seem a more appropriate CO for a ship that size.
The Hawkeye is a civilian ship so she doesn't work with the Starfleet rank system. For each crewmembers primary position I've tried to avoid using 'officer' to describe them, whilst the post of 'Captain' is more a title than a rank.
Since rank doesn't play much of a role on the ship (for the most part everyone is called by the first name) I haven't really spent time thinking up the Daystrom Institutes ranking structure--I will get to that sometime though. In the Vanguard series though they had a three braid Captain, as well as a Commander, Lieutenant Commander and six other officers on a ship with 14 crew, so they do seem to be ships that are somewhat disproportionate in their officer-enlisted ratio.
Has it really gotten so bad that we're using 'helmswoman' to describe a female helmsman?
I usually don't have an issue using helmsman for female, neutral or multi-gendered personnel that handle the stick and rudder. I went with woman as I think it fits with the kind of character Miss Reese is.
It could have been worse, I could have gone with helmsperson. Originally I was going with the job title 'Pilot', but I always think that fits better with shuttles, rather than actual ships.
Currently trying to work on the pilot story now.
Separate names with a comma.

Stephen Harris '80 Seeks Judgeship
December 22, 2013
"I would like the opportunity to give back to our wonderful community which has given so much to me and my family," says Stephen P. Harris, who is seeking election as a judge in Kosciusko County, Indiana, Superior Court 1. An attorney and 1980 graduate of DePauw University, Harris tells the Warsaw Times-Union, "It is my desire to use my legal experience and education in serving our community. If elected I promise to serve the community and perform the duties of Superior Court judge No. 1 to the very best of my abilities, fairly, impartially and diligently."
The newspaper notes, "Harris, 56, is a lifelong Kosciusko County resident and has practiced law for more than 25 years with his father, Philip J. Harris, former prosecutor for Kosciusko County in the 1950s ... Harris is active in the community, having served as a board member of Combined Community Services and Warsaw Kosciusko County Chamber of Commerce and is currently serving as chair and president of the Kosciusko County Public Defender Board. He also has served as a precinct committeeman."
A history major at DePauw, Harris earned an M.B.A. from Butler University and graduated from the Indiana University School of Law with a degree of doctor of jurisprudence.

WATKINS GLEN, N.Y. — Brad Keselowski would have preferred to win. Instead, the Penske Racing driver will have to find solace in knowing he played a major role in one of the most spectacular last-lap battles of the season.
The fireworks began on the final lap of Sunday's Finger Lakes 335 when race leader Kyle Busch got loose in Turn 2 after sliding in oil put down by fellow Toyota driver Bobby Labonte.
As Busch slipped and struggled to control his car, Keselowski closed a 2-second gap and, with his own tires soaked in oil, plowed into the back of Busch.
The contact sent Busch spinning and opened the door for Keselowski to retake the lead.
"I got under (Busch) going into Turn 2 and we all slipped in oil," Keselowski said. "(I) hit him and spun him. I mean, I hate to say there was nothing I could do, but there was literally nothing I could do."
Ambrose then closed the gap on Keselowski, and the two spent the remainder of the final lap fighting nose to tail and side by side through the corners, down the straights and through the dirt.
With both drivers often more sideways than straight, Ambrose nosed ahead and streaked across the finish line to take his second straight win at Watkins Glen, with Keselowski half a second back.
"It came down to just running a whole lap against Marcos," Keselowski said. "I got in the oil and we'd slip up. He'd get by me and then he'd get in the oil and I'd get by him.
"I think that's the way racing should be. It's great to race against guys like Marcos that you can run on, lean on and don't lose their cool and intentionally wreck you."
Keselowski, who led 37 laps, had control of the race until a restart on lap 75 of 90. After taking the green, Busch bounded into the top spot with a bold move to the inside of Keselowski in Turn 1.
"(Busch) put me in a situation where it was either I let him go or we both wreck," Keselowski said. "It didn't make any sense to wreck out of this race for me.
"It would have been interesting to see what (would have) happened had we had another yellow there at the end. That would have put me in the third-place position where essentially it would have been my responsibility to dive the (expletive) out of Turn 1 and hope that Kyle let me in.
"It would have been interesting to see what mentality he had then. I'm guessing he wouldn't have let me in."
Four laps after losing the lead, Keselowski lost second to Ambrose.
"That was just from pushing so hard to try to get by Kyle," Keselowski said. "That was just me doing all I could to get back by Kyle."
On the penultimate lap, Keselowski made his way back around Ambrose for second but didn't have a shot of catching Busch until Busch slipped in the oil and set the stage for what is sure to be one of the most memorable finishes in NASCAR's 30 years of racing at Watkins Glen.
"That's what racing is supposed to be right there: a little bit of bumping and rubbing but none of that intentional wrecking BS," said Keselowski, who is still trying to get his first Sprint Cup win on a road course.
"I really enjoy coming here. This is a real road course. Seems like all the other places are parking lots with corners. You see real racing here. I think that's what today was."

text: The Cost of CareBrey, Robin L. M.D.Neurology Now: January-February 2009 - Volume 5 - Issue 1 - p 5 doi: 10.1097/01.NNN.0000345688.06570.0e Department: From the Editor Abstract Article Outline Can you afford to be sick? Abstract Being sick is expensive. According to the National Coalition on Health Care, a large nonpartisan organization working to improve health care in America, health care spending in the United States reached $2.4 trillion in 2008. The Coalition reports that employer health insurance premiums increased by 5 percent during 2008—two times the rate of inflation. The annual premium for an employer health plan covering a family of four averaged nearly $12,700; the annual premium for single coverage averaged more than $4,700. A national poll released in October 2008 by the Kaiser Family Foundation, a California-based nonprofit that researches health policy, found that about a third of Americans surveyed reported that their family had problems paying medical bills in the past year, and that almost one in five said they had medical bills of more than $1,000. An estimated 1.5 million families lose their homes to foreclosure every year due to unaffordable medical costs. Doctors, patients, employers, employees, and government officials often disagree on the best way to address these problems. Some believe in price controls, and others favor free market competition. There is no agreement on a single solution, and my purpose here isn't to argue one way or another. Maybe a combination of approaches will be the best solution. What we do know is that many people literally can't afford to be sick. This is particularly true for those with neurological conditions—which are often chronic and require ongoing treatment—and for low-income patients who need multiple medications. Unfortunately, many people will skimp on treatment when money is tight. Research conducted by the RAND corporation, a nonprofit policy analysis group, found that doubling patients' prescription drug copayments reduced their use of medications by 25 to 45 percent. Even people trying to manage chronic conditions such as diabetes cut their drug use between 8 and 23 percent. Needless to say this is dangerous. In this issue of Neurology Now we have several articles that discuss the cost of care. In "Good Golly, Miss Holly!" (page 12) we interview actress and Parkinson's disease advocate Holly Robinson Peete. Her organization, Hollyrod, was created when Holly and her husband began paying people's drug bills because insurance companies weren't covering them. As Holly says, "The health care crisis deeply affects those who are disadvantaged, or disenfranchised, when they get Parkinson's." In Penny Wise (page 32), we investigate whether or not hiring a medical billing advocate might be worth it for people facing stacks of bills. One man we interviewed faced a charge of $183,000 for treatment for the meningitis and other infections that were causing his headaches. Uninsured at the time and concerned that the debt could put his home at risk, he decided to hire a medical billing advocate. So what can you do to stay physically and fiscally healthy? Remember that preventing disease in the first place is always less costly (financially and emotionally) than treating disease. While not all neurological diseases are preventable, a number of them potentially are. And for most, with proper care, complications can be prevented or lessened—which costs less in the long run. Some of the basics relate to paying attention to good nutrition, exercising, avoiding unhealthy habits like smoking, and treating hypertension and diabetes. Figure If you would like to share your thoughts on the cost of managing a neurological condition, e-mail us at firstname.lastname@example.com. My very best, Robin L.
