Despite early injury exit, Santiago nets win for PR
By Barry M. Bloom / MLB.com
SAN FRANCISCO -- Puerto Rico right-hander Mario Santiago left Sunday night's World Baseball Classic semifinal victory over Japan with tightness in his right forearm.
No matter. His 4 1/3 brilliant innings of scoreless two-hit ball sent Puerto Rico on to a stunning 3-1 win, unseating the two-time defending Classic champion Japanese.
|Bracket | Full scoreboard
"This game was big for me and big for my family," Santiago said on the field after he was credited with the win. "Everybody in Puerto Rico is happy. Nobody was thinking that we were going to be here. This game was big for everyone."
For Puerto Rico, it's on to the championship game on Tuesday at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT on MLB Network and ESPN Deportes against the winner of Monday's second semifinal tilt between the Dominican Republic and the Kingdom of the Netherlands.
Santiago, who will return to Dodgers camp as a Minor League invitee later in the week, said afterward that his arm was just fine and he would be ready to resume Spring Training.
"I had a little bit of strain in my arm, but everything is fine," Santiago said. "If I had to I could have continued out there. Yes, sir."
A career Minor League pitcher, Santiago protected a 1-0 lead as he retired the first 10 hitters he faced. Hirokazu Ibata's single through the middle in the fourth ended the streak of outs, but Santiago retired the next two men to end the inning.
After Hayato Sakamoto singled to lead off the fifth, Yoshio Itoi hit a ground ball that was smothered by second baseman Irving Falu. His throw to first baseman Carlos Rivera retired Itoi, but there was congestion at first involving Santiago, Rivera and Itoi all around the bag. Santiago was removed from the game at that point.
After walking the first hitter he faced in relief of Santiago, Red Sox reliever Jose De La Torre struck out Atsunori Inaba and Nobuhiro Matsuda to close out the fifth inning.
Santiago said the near-collision at first base had nothing to do with the precautionary decision to take him out of the game.
"On the play before, I feel like I pulled my arm down and that caused the problem," he said. "Nothing happened at first base. Everything was good."
Santiago, 28, is a 6-foot-2, 210-pound right-hander born in Guayama, P.R. He is 36-51 in seven Minor League seasons with a 4.04 ERA. He has appeared in 156 games, 116 coming as a starter.
He said that he wasn't sure what the Dodgers had in store for him this spring, but that he'd be ready for any circumstance.
"I don't know," he said. "They make the decision. I don't make the decision. I think they're going to send me to Triple-A. If they do, I'll go there and do my job. That's the only thing I know."

Mickey Thompson $7 Fun Night segue:
- Details
- Published on Wednesday, 15 May 2013 13:01
The calm before the Cavalcade! Race results included.
NORWALK, Ohio – Rick McWaters bagged a second Super Stock victory at the May 15, 2013 Mickey Thompson $7 Fun Night at Summit Motorsports Park in Norwalk, Ohio.
Rick McWaters enjoyed a free ride final round at 107 mph on his 2007 Roadliner motorcycle when a 1982 Camaro of Andy Innes, New London, Ohio broke at the tree.
In Mickey Thompson Tires Stock, Len Searl, Norwalk, Ohio won a battle of the Chevys on a triple threat over James King, Willard, Ohio.
Len Searl turned out a respectable 0.017 reaction time then followed up at the other end by crossing the stripe on his dial with a three. Trying to make up the difference, James King broke out.
Not to be outdone in Mickey Thompson Tires High School, Taylor Young, South Amherst, Ohio followed with a triple threat of her own in a 1991 Mustang over Trent Thacker, Tiffin, Ohio in a 1981 Mirada.
Taylor Young won at the tree, crossed the finish line on her dial with a two, and Trent Thacker broke out by 0.027 seconds. Both teens hit 90 mph.
This week proves hole shots happen in Mickey Thompson Tires Truck and Van.
Chad Pocock, Norwalk, Ohio launched his 2011 Dodge Ram 1500 in 0.018 seconds against Harrison Strickler's .299 seconds in a mystery truck.
Harrison Strickler claimed the elapsed time skirmish by 0.122 seconds, but not by enough to make up for the tree.
Chad Pocock's best light for the evening sizzled the tree at 0.004 seconds – in a Ram 1500! Wouldn't be surprised if next we see wheelie bars on the back of it.
In Mickey Thompson Motorcycle, Justin Miller, Elyria, Ohio tooled his 2003 Suzuki Hayabusa down the track at 102 mph and crossed the stripe on his dial with a zero in a final round win over John Weisz, Bellevue, Ohio on a 2000 Aprilla.
A red light gift characterized the final round of Mickey Thompson Mod Stock. And Marsha Manille, Doylestown, Ohio in a 1969 Dodge Dart accepted the win light from Alex Miller, Mansfield, Ohio in a 2008 Cobalt.

During time trials Jeff Harvey, Mansfield, Ohio tested a royal purple haze 1967 Chevy Nova.
Brothers Jeff, Ron and Rick Harvey wrenched on this little honey of a group project since December.
"It's a Harvey pack," said Ron Harvey, who owns R&R Restoration, Mansfield. "We're like a wolf pack. One gets hurt, we all feel the pain."
After one fateful Nova launch, next on the Harvey agenda is an axle upgrade.
"We just put this thing together over the winter," Ron Harvey said. "We actually do tractor pulls. We have two mini rods in tractor pullers. We have two V-8 motors, one Chevy, one Ford.
"We thought it would be better to run on asphalt than dirt."
Habit led them to the dragstrip. For the last 40 years, when the tractor pullers stilled for the season, the Harvey pack migrated to Summit Motorsports Park and staked out a regular camping spot, even in the early days of unrolling sleeping bags by a campfire.
"We've only missed five maybe six Halloween Classics," Ron Harvey said. "This year we'll be in it. We just got tired of sitting in the camper watching all these cars go by. We talked about using the motors from the pulling tractors.
"Then I found me a deal on this one," Ron Harvey said. "I said, 'Will you help me put it together?'"
The Harveys' drag racing experience includes Rick Harvey's pro stock bike, "The Joker," and prowess of their father.
While doctors fix up their dad with medical treatments, guys in the Harvey pack are ganging up on ways to set up their dad in sportsman racing, Ron Harvey said.
"He's always had the knack," Ron Harvey said. "He did it as a kid, illegal. We just sold his 1964 Chevy Impala 409 SS. It was his when he was 17 years old. It only had 22,000 miles on it."
By the way, the Harveys spared the motors on the pulling tractors, and gifted their pack project Nova with a new Chevy 528 motor.
One of the perks of hosting a huge, beautiful event such as the Mickey Mart Rewards Cavalcade of Stars presented by Budweiser, a part of the NHRA Lucas Oil Drag Racing Series and the new NHRA Harley-Davidson Drag Racing Series is watching the tests and tunes at Mickey Thompson $7 Fun Night on Wednesday.
Bill and Mary Ann Jackson, who race two dragsters and a Monza, all named, "Scratcher," tested and looked forward to a great weekend.
Paula Cambria, Buffalo, New York, lined up in a new black Chevy Camaro for licensing runs.
"We just got this one two Fridays ago," said Bob Bielaszka, crewing for Paula Cambria. "She's getting her license so she can race this weekend. Her husband, Paul Cambria, has an identical Camaro, but his is a Super Stock car."

Laura Henson
May 24, 2012
Program: International Environmental Policy
Undergrad: Washington and Lee University
Fast Fact: Ran a private marathon with two other volunteers down the national highway of Mozambique
"I genuinely want to be a part of something that is much bigger than myself."
Laura Henson thinks that for a curious person like herself, the sea is a dreamworld.
"I find the ocean fascinating for its grandness and mysteries," she said.
So it's no surprise that Laura is drawn to marine policy. She believes that the management of our oceans and their resources is one of the most important issues of our time.
"What we decide to do with this vast resource in the next century will determine whether or not it remains a resource for generations to come," she said.
As a Center for the Blue Economy Fellow this summer, Laura is working with UNESCO on an international marine law issue in southern Africa. She will have the chance utilize both of her languages (Spanish and Portuguese) and use the knowledge she acquired in her International Marine Law course.
"This particular internship will be the perfect challenge for me," she said. "I hope it will take me to a new level in terms of perspective and problem solving skills that I will bring to the field upon graduation."

Are you mad at the people of New Orleans for staying in the path of disaster? Then you should also be mad at the people of San Francisco for living on top of a fault line, and the people of New York for living so close to an obvious terrorist target.
Are you considering that the people who could have afforded to get out had already done so? That some of the people who were caught in the disaster may have done so by choice (some who decided to stick around for whatever odd reason), but that a great number
You're still paraphrasing "let them eat cake". As I said, think about it.
I don't think money would have mattered. The levees were only strong enough to withstand a cat3 hurricane and there were no plans for a cat5, money or no money.
If you live on the coast, below see level, in a bowl, something sometime is bound to happen and it did.
Scifi authors have written all sorts of stories about this fer cryin' out loud.
I realize the poor may not have all been able to flee on the spur of the moment. OTOH my point is they do not in fact have to be there.
I am sorry, but this is just not true. In all likelyness, the "poor" probably cannot flee at any moment, no matter how much warning they are given.
When you are poor, when your family is poor, when you parents are poor, when poverty goes back generations in your family, you do not have the same choices as people who are more well off might have. You cannot just pick up

We see about 190MB/s per OSS out of the disks and around 150MB/s via the dual network interfaces. I can't think of any benchmark you care to mention that a single lustre OSS/MDS won't outperform NFS. Especially, if you configure your systems to use both NIC's (most motherboards now come with dual interfaces) and I don't mean trunking the ports. Just configure portals to know that it can speak to the OSS's via both nics and it will handle the rest for you. Lustre's meta data performance is WAY better than NFS. I'd almost say its WAY better than any global FS I've played with. Certainly, you have to use Lustre kernels... all we do is run Centos as our clients/servers and then we just grab the pre-build/supported kernels from CFS. Its all pretty easy. The current Lustre V1.4 is very very nice and we have found it to be very robust. Nearly all the problems we experience turn out to be flakey hardware or kernel issues. Not Lustre at all. You can also checkout the FUSE implementation of a Lustre client I posted to CFS's website a few weeks back https://mail.clusterfs.com/wikis/lustre/fuse while it needs a LOT of work to give decent performance, it does work.

By Bankole Thompson
U.S. Representative John Dingell, Jr., from the 12tth Congressional District, at 86 is being celebrated as the longest serving member of the U.S. Congress, a milestone not easily reached, one that climaxes Dingell's more than five decades in public service.
Elected to Congress at 29, to replace his father John Dingell, Sr., the younger Dingel, steadily built his public portfolio, becoming chairman of powerful House committees that have broad powers over the environment, energy and the auto industry.
He wielded incredible influence and for years almost single-handedly decided the fate of the American auto industry in Washington.
One of the watershed moments in Dingell's political career came when he vehemently supported the 1964 Civil Rights Act, at a time when it was very unpopular to come out unequivocally in support of legislation to challenge Jim Crow.
It was a decision that almost cost Dingell re-election to Congress. He told the Huffington Post that he "damn near lost an election over it. The Wall Street Journal gave me a 1-in-15 chance of winning that race."
The nation's first African American president, Barack Obama, acknowledged Dingell's crucial role and support for civil rights in the last 50 years.
"John has always worked tirelessly for the people of his beloved Michigan and for working families across America," Obama said. "He has helped pass some of the most important laws of the last half-century, from Medicare to the Civil Rights Act to the Clean Air Act to the Affordable Care Act, and he continues to fight for workers' rights, access to affordable healthcare, and the preservation of our environment for future generations to enjoy. Michelle and I send our warmest wishes to John and his family."
Dingell, the dean of the House, never relented in his support for legislations that have an imprint on the nation's growth.
In Michigan Republican Governor Rick Snyder called him a champion for the Great Lakes state.
"During his 57 years in Congress, John Dingell has been a champion for civil rights, clean air and clean water, and affordable health care. Most of all, he has been a champion for Michigan and its people. He has worked tirelessly to advance the interests of our state and all Michiganders," Snyder said. "The United States and Michigan have been truly fortunate to have John Dingell serving them. He has brought great honor to himself, our state and our nation and continues to build on his historic legacy of leadership and service."
Retiring Michigan U.S. Senator Carl Levin called Dingell "a remarkable figure, not primarily because of his historic length of service, but because of what he has done for America with his time in Washington. If you are a senior who depends on Medicare, a worker who punches a clock, or an American who wants clean air, water and land, you are a beneficiary of John's extraordinary legislative legacy."
Dingell and his wife of more than three decades, Debbie, are both a dynamic duo in Washington and in Michigan's political circles. Mrs. Dingell currently chairs the Board of Governors of Wayne State University and is a member of many boards of organization,s including the Democratic National Committee.
A strong ally of labor, Congressman Dingell, addressing the 35th United Auto Workers Constitutional Convention, said, "Raising the standards of living for the middle class should be something that everyone, regardless of their political beliefs or their title in the workplace, can agree on. As we continue to work towards a better living for all families, it is imperative that we do not get sidetracked by partisan bickering, and it is also imperative that both business and labor join together to come before Congress with a set of shared priorities."

I see that the Rally vendors' list is now up (dated as of June 10)
I note that Hannigan Motorsports is not listed though the company web site has listed the MOA rally as being on their schedule. I wonder why they aren't listed?
Last edited by ben721364; 06-17-2008 at 03:47 PM. Reason: clarification
Can we expect an update to the vendors' list? Is Hannigan coming? Lighting suppliers/installers, other saddle builders, etc., etc.

Alabama Archives and Libraries
United States Alabama Archives and Libraries
Most archives and libraries collect records about local residents (biographies, family histories, and local histories) and about nearby places (maps, gazetteers, and place-finding aids). They often compile reference helps and special indexes to important local sources. In many communities they serve as a meeting place for local historical and genealogical societies, and may be able to provide referrals to people who are willing to look up information in local records. Before you visit an archive or a library, contact them and ask for information on their collection, hours, services, and fees.
Many archives and libraries have helpful sources for locating information about Alabama, such as maps, gazetteers, and other place-finding aids. They frequently have collections of previous research, such as family and local histories and biographies. Many have record-finding aids, such as guides to their own collections or inventories of records housed elsewhere in the state. Archives and libraries near state boundaries usually collect records relating to the adjacent states.
The following archives, libraries, and societies have collections or services helpful to genealogical researchers:

The 1975 is a band that hasn't been around very long — despite the name, none of its members have firsthand experience with that particular year (or the decade itself) and they've actually only been releasing music under that moniker since last August. However, these lads from Manchester, UK have actually been playing together since 2002, having met at school and cut their musical teeth under various other names. ("It was a good way to get out of lessons," they wryly explain.)
They banged through a near schizophrenic collection of monikers, including the better-known Bigsleep and Drive Like I Do, before finally settling on the name "1975" (which singer Matthew Healey explains came from an inscription found in an old book about the beat generation).
And even then, the quartet wasted no time, putting out four EPs in a bit over a year under their finalized title. They also managed to garner a lot of attention in that short period. The band's mature-beyond-its-years blend of melodic electronica, ambient pop, R&B, and rock attracted a slate of critical response ranging from gushingly positive to actually confused in regards to its wildly mutable state.
The 1975's decision to release four EPs in rapid-fire succession leading up to the release of its debut full-length (which hits the streets September 9) also drew a mixed response from critics; however, the band has won over scores of pure music fans who are eagerly anticipating the self-titled release.
We at Yahoo! Music are excited to bring this set of performances, as well as an exclusive interview, with the 1975 in a few short weeks advance of their new album. Enjoy!

Date Climbed: Oct 1, 2006
|The first of October was a perfect day for a hike up Crow Peak. The Fall colors on the drive up, as well as along the trail, were fantastic. My hiking companion Susan, and I, had a nice visit at the summit with a seasoned climber from Alaska. The temperatures were perfect for the day's hike.

Housing Authority rated substandard
Staff Writer
BENNINGTON -- The Bennington Housing Authority has been labeled substandard by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and must submit a corrective plan.
Deborah Reed, executive director of BHA, said the group has already corrected issues identified by HUD, however, and will soon submit its response. BHA operates the Brookside Apartments on South Street, the Walloomsac Apartments on School Street and the Beech Court Apartments on Beech Street.
In a Nov. 30 letter to the BHA board, Director Marilyn B. O'Sullivan said the local authority received a failing Public Housing Assessment System score for the fiscal year that ended in June 2011. The letter calls for BHA to take immediate action to identify the source of performance deficiencies and develop a plan to recover its score.
18 out of 40 points
BHA received 18 out of 40 available points for the physical condition of its properties. Elizabeth Montaquila, a public affairs assistant with HUD, said at least one housing unit in all 17 BHA-run buildings was inspected last year. A total of 24 units were randomly selected for inspection.
"Basically, there was just a variety of different issues. Some of them were really minor, ranging from holes in walls to ceilings and paint peeling," she said.
Other issues were considered more serious. Montaquila said some units had emergency or fire exits that were blocked. HUD officials also identified tripping hazards on sidewalks and windows with missing handles. "It kind of ranges from minor things to more serious, such as the health and safety hazards," she said.
Kristine Foye, deputy regional administrator for HUD, said BHA's low score for the physical condition of its units required HUD to label it as substandard.
Reed said she received the letter on Dec. 5. A response will be filed within the required 30 days, she said. BHA has already addressed the problems, however, she said.
"We are in the process of putting our plan together. All the deficiencies that they found have been corrected. Our maintenance man does weekly community area walks to make sure everything is the way it's supposed to be," she said. "Basically, we've taken care of everything. Our HUD person has come and inspected and he was satisfied. It's just a matter of answering this letter. Everything has been done."
A maintenance person is now following up all work orders to make sure work has been completed. In some cases, some of the deficiencies identified by HUD "were in the process of modernization," according to Reed.
She said HUD inspectors checked for "stuff that they've never been concerned with before."
"In the past, we've been good. We haven't been 100 percent, but we've always been where we had to be," Reed said. "This year the stuff they looked at was more curb appeal than it was with the apartments. We were concentrating on making sure that the apartments were good."
Foye said HUD officials will review the work completed by BHA and work with the group to make sure all deficiencies are addressed.

A number of news sources recently reported that (sniff, sniff) people just can't afford to get divorced anymore, what with mortgages upside down, and diminished family income.
Furthermore (more sniffs), in most cases, the couples have to stay together under the same roof just to make ends meet. No longer can divorced spouses count on maintaining a lifestyle. No longer are kids summarily thrown into visitation chaos and feelings of abandonment….and that, obviously, is a good thing.
One of the sadder aspects of my three decades plus on radio talking to people in some sort of crisis is the growing realization that many people see adversity as a motivation to turn on each other, rather than to turn to each other. I understand husbands who feel depressed when they can't adequately support their families, and I understand wives who feel desperate because they worry for the well-being of their home and children. But I don't understand turning away from each other at a time when both need support and hope. Each spouse needs to (as Archie Bunker often said on "All In The Family") "stifle themselves" and try to buoy up the other's state of mind.
In trying to make the other person still feel valued, competent and loved; in telling your spouse that you know that, ultimately, you can count on him/her; in letting your once "dearly beloved" feel your support, makes not only them feel better, it makes YOU feel better.
I'm sure everyone reading this has some sort of strain or stress in their marriage. Generally, it's something that can be overcome if you both pull together and put aside your individual resentments and fears long enough to follow through on your marital vows to love, honor and cherish.

NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - People with Parkinson's disease face an increased risk of the most deadly type of skin cancer, new research confirms.
Exams of more than 2,000 people with Parkinson's disease found that about 1 percent currently had melanoma, Dr. John M. Bertoni of the University of Nebraska Medical Center in Omaha and his colleagues found. Based on the findings, they say, people with the degenerative nerve disease should receive regular skin cancer screening.
A number of studies have found a higher risk for melanoma among people with Parkinson's disease, which occurs when brain cells that produce dopamine -- a signaling chemical with many important functions in the brain -- die off. But it hasn't been clear whether this increased risk is due to the drugs people take to treat Parkinson's disease or to the disease itself.
To investigate further, Bertoni and colleagues at 31 different centers across North America studied 2,106 patients with Parkinson's disease. The patients first underwent a neurological exam, and then at a second visit had a dermatologic exam, which included biopsies of any suspicious moles or growths.
The researchers found 20 localized melanomas among the study participants and 4 that had spread beyond the original site, while another 68 patients reported having a history of melanoma.
Among the patients living in the US, the likelihood of having melanoma was more than double that of the general US population, the researchers found. When the findings were compared to statistics from skin cancer screening programs run by the American Academy of Dermatology, the researchers found a more than seven-fold increased risk of melanoma for US Parkinson's patients.
Since the 1970s, a number of case reports have suggested that levodopa therapy for Parkinson's disease increases the risk of skin cancer. In the current study, nearly 85 percent of the patients had taken levodopa, but the researchers found no evidence that this drug was associated with melanoma risk.
This study, conclude Bertoni and colleagues, provides more evidence that melanoma occurs more often in patients with Parkinson's disease than in the population at large and "supports increased melanoma screening" in patients with Parkinson's disease.

Ball's contribution to the police department is wonderful and clearly made an impact. Her generosity is much appreciated!
However, her statement about officer's salaries is not accurate.
"These police officers come in from other cities because they can't afford to live in Palo Alto off of their salaries..."
The City of Palo Alto pays police between $75k and $200k per year plus benefits. The officers can live here on that salary. They choose not to.
Those of us who live here with family income of $150k live here in rental units or modest homes. These homes are smaller, older and more expensive than what is available in other communities. We choose to live in Palo Alto where we can pay more for great schools and city services.
The police officers have the same choice. They choose a larger house in better condition with more land. It's a choice based on personal values, not income level.

"These police officers come in from other cities because they can't afford to live in Palo Alto off of their salaries..."
This is not necessarily so. Many Police Officers simply prefer to live in other cities away from their work environment. We've had a police officer who lived in Gilroy because he owned farmland there. Another Officer owned horses and lived in the hills. Another officer commuted from Tracy because he liked living there.
Palo Alto may be a great place to work but not necessarily a great place to live.

If you want to nitpick, both of you are technically correct. But if you would like to have a 3-4 bedroom single family home, on a decently sized lot (i.e., over 8000 sqft), you are not going to be able to buy a home in PA that meets that profile.

We have a friend who is a PA officer. His wife works full-time at Stanford and they have two small children. However, they CANNOT afford a home in Palo Alto, as much as they would like to.
They live in a two-bedroom condo in Mtn View, which grew too small for them when the second child started walking. Now they are looking to buy in the San Ramon-Danville area, where a few other PA officers live.
Guess what? They can buy a 4 bdrm, 3 1/2 ba home on a quarter acre lot for LESS than what their condo here will sell for. That means a PROFIT! The benefits are that the air is cleaner, the schools rate higher, and there are people to carpool with. There are also more people with kids near the same age as their own.
Although I will miss them, I am genuinely happy for them!

my wife and I work full time in PA , these police officers make than both of us, we have a 4 bedroom house in pa. we have 2 children . Other than the mortgage. we are debt free, we never use the credit card, always the debit card. We cook all the time and we love it. We rarely go to restaurant or shop at Bloomingdale. Instead of whole foods, we go to TJ.
You CAN live in pa if you live withing your means.

Welcome to Eddie! Best of luck to him in his job, and may he and Officer Brad Young stay safe and sound. He sounds like a wonderful addition to the PAPD, as well as Officer Young's family.

Palo Alto has had police dogs for more than 20 years. There were 4 in 1992, but the number was decreased to 3 about 2000 or so then 2 in 2008 and 1 in the last year due to budget constraints.
A dog can smell and hear someone hiding in bushes or in businesses that the officer cannot locate - a great safety issue.
a resident of Downtown North
on Jul 24, 2013 at 1:33 pm
Costing the Dept $10,000, I hope "Eddie" can drive a police cruiser. Better yet, I hope he can drive "the specially modified" cruiser that cost taxpayers $50.000+. With night differential pay and special tactics differential pay, the officer handling "Eddie" will make 25% above his normal salary and compensation package. Yea for us!
a resident of Palo Alto High School
on Jul 24, 2013 at 1:47 pm
Such a sweet story and Palo Altans always have to ruin it with complaints. No, $200,000 (remember, that's before taxes) is NOT enough to buy a house in Palo Alto today. Sure, if the house was purchased two decades ago, a $200,000 salary is fine in Palo Alto. House prices start at $1 million now, and without a huge down payment, a $200,000 salary is not enough.
What? No complaints about the price of the dog? No questions about who pays for the dog's food? No complaints about PAPD? Something is amiss here.
Thank you, Angie. I agree, our PAPD should be appreciated. I have the highest respect for law enforcement.
This time we're not lying. HONEST! No, really!

Is it only considered tampering when its opposing teams management trying to talk too or woo potential free agents? Why aren't players that are trying to recruit held accountable too? Seems kind of shady to me. :mad:

LeBron James is the first choice. But Chris Bosh certainly would be a solid backup for the Miami Heat next summer in free agency.
And he's willing to consider it.
The Heat, which figures to have more than $15 million of salary-cap room, is looking for a superstar to pair with Dwyane Wade. And Wade, who talked last week about possibly luring James to South Florida while also mentioning Bosh, is positioning himself as a recruiter.
"Anything is possible, I guess,'' Bosh, the Toronto star who can become a free agent next summer, told FanHouse in an interview before Tuesday's game at Denver about the possibility of going to Miami. "I guess that seems to be an attractive place, you know, playing with Dwyane and playing in Miami and everything. I guess if they had the right chemistry, the right guys, that they could persuade guys to get there. But we'll see.''

Kylie Nottingham led the Seahawks with 18 points, or nearly half her team's total offensive output. The loss dropped Decatur's record to 3-9 overall, including a 2-8 mark in the conference. The Seahawks will host Snow Hill at home next Tuesday in the third game of the year against their county rivals. The two teams split a pair of close games this far this season.

Seeds and beans thrive in warm and humid environments — environments that are also attractive for bacteria like Salmonella or E. coli. As the spring 2011 outbreak in Germany showed, bean sprouts are particularly risky. To be safe, skip raw sprouts on sandwiches and in salads; eat them only when cooked thoroughly, as in a stir fry.
Oysters, clams, mussels or other bivalves can be contaminated with deadly bacteria or parasites. Before buying, check that the shellfish were taken from safe waters and, to be extra cautious, cook before eating.

That morning cup of joe could do more harm than expectant mothers may realize.
A new Swedish study found that women who drink more coffee averaged a whole five more hours of pregnancy per 100 mg of caffeine per day. And if that caffiene came from coffee it the time increases to eight hours of pregnancy per 100 mg per day, according to ModernBaby.com
That fact has some researchers believing that a substance in coffee alone could interfere with pregnancy. They also believe that coffee can lower a baby's birth weight and leave the infant exposed to health problems and complications.
The current recommendation for the World Health Organization is that pregnant women get no more than 300 mg of caffeine per day.

Mauer leads AL in early All-Star voting
Longoria holds edge on A-Rod to prevent all-Yankees infield
By Alden Gonzalez / MLB.com
If the voting ended today, the nine starting position players in the AL would be Joe Mauer, Mark Teixeira, Robinson Cano, Derek Jeter, Evan Longoria, Ichiro Suzuki, Carl Crawford, Nelson Cruz and Vladimir Guerrero. If the season ended today, eight of those players -- all except Ichiro -- would be on teams headed to the playoffs.
By the time the Midsummer Classic at Angel Stadium in Anaheim rolls around on July 13, the Yankees could end up ruling most of the infield. But it's Mauer who rules all voting thus far.
The reigning American League Most Valuable Player and the face of the Twins checked in as the leading AL vote-getter in the year's first ballot update, sporting 644,533 votes to easily lead the position of catcher and put him on pace to make his third consecutive Midsummer Classic start.
Through his first 36 games, Mauer ranks third in the AL with a .346 batting average and fifth with a .414 on-base percentage. In the voting, he holds the second-biggest gap between first and second place among position players in the AL, as the Yankees' Jorge Posada comes in second among AL catchers with 287,486 votes.
The biggest lead belongs to "The Captain," Jeter, who has the second-highest vote total at 639,227 and holds a lead of more than 400,000 votes over the second-place shortstop, Rangers youngster Elvis Andrus.
Jeter, batting .276 with four homers and 27 RBIs, is looking to make his 11th All-Star Game appearance and start for the fifth consecutive time.
If he pulls that off, he may have some familiar faces around the diamond.
The Yankees' Teixeira leads at first base with 396,034 votes so far, which puts him nearly 138,000 votes ahead of the Twins' Justin Morneau. And one of the hottest players at the start of the season, Cano, holds a lead of more than 200,000 votes over Red Sox second baseman Dustin Pedroia.
Pedroia has appeared in back-to-back All-Star Games and started in 2008. But Cano is batting .335 with nine homers and 28 RBIs and is gunning for his second All-Star Game appearance -- and first since '06.
There is one man currently preventing an all-Yankees infield, however, and he's pacing the best team in the Major Leagues thus far.
Longoria -- with a .319 batting average, nine homers and 38 RBIs for the 32-12 Rays -- has captured 541,253 votes to lead the Yankees' Alex Rodriguez by a little less than 130,000, which is the smallest discrepancy between first and second place in the AL infield.
This would be Longoria's third All-Star Game in as many years in the big leagues.
In the bunched-up outfield, the Mariners' Suzuki (366,903 votes) leads the way, followed by the Rays' Carl Crawford (319,953) and the Rangers' Nelson Cruz (307,928).
For Suzuki -- batting .352 with a .395 on-base percentage and 11 stolen bases in his first 44 games -- it would be his 10th consecutive All-Star Game appearance in as many years in the big leagues.
But it's close in the AL outfield, where the Rangers' Josh Hamilton (265,896), the Yankees' Curtis Granderson (264,572), the Angels' Torii Hunter (230,036) and the Yankees' Nick Swisher (229,944) are creeping close with plenty of time left.
Guerrero's knees no longer have him patrolling right field. But the eight-time All-Star is swinging a hot bat in his first year as the Rangers' designated hitter, batting .339 with 10 homers and 37 RBIs in his first 44 games and leading balloting at his new position.
The 35-year-old Guerrero has captured 374,333 votes in the DH category, while Hideki Matsui ranks second at 298,487 and the Mariners' Ken Griffey Jr. is third, with 213,658 votes.

A visit from the royal couple
This week, World Vision will receive a visit from the royal couple, Prince William and Kate Middleton, Duchess of Cambridge. The king-to-be and his wife will be learning about World Vision's work in the Solomon Islands, which is part of the South Asia and Pacific region, where a billion people live on less than $2 per day.
The royal couple's stop is a part of the Diamond Jubilee tour to celebrate the 60 years during which Queen Elizabeth II has reigned as Monarch.
Kate will be attending a morning tea with World Vision's gender coordinator, Koisau Sade, who will share how World Vision has been working with church leaders to change men's attitudes toward women and reduce domestic abuse.
The community where the royal couple will visit struggles with high unemployment, limited educational opportunities, and drug, alcohol, and physical abuse.
World Vision has worked there for the past 18 months to empower community members through interventions like education and economic development.

User jjj posted a sale for Monoprice's 30" display on 03-22-13, and I took the plunge. (see comments section on http://techreport.com/news/24549/)
Unboxing was uneventful, with the exception of a few items; the first seemingly a blatant bait and switch:
• The monitor described and photographed on the product page is not the same monitor that was shipped. No two ways about it. (http://preview.tinyurl.com/c9ha8la)
- The product page says this monitor comes with stereo speakers and the cord to go with it. No speakers, no cable, nor mention of them in the two page "manual".
- The product page also includes OSD as a feature which is non-existent. (see below)
• The monitor stand has a good range of motion, but one must literally un-bolt and shift the bolt pattern over a row to pivot the screen into portrait mode.
• On a more minor note, the foot of the stand also sticks out about 2.50" from the front of the screen; something I'm not used to with the Dells I use at work.
None of the above are deal breakers for me personally, but perspective buyers beware.
With the system powered on, the screen is just 'lovely' in my opinion, but I'm also transitioning from a Samsung DF1100 CRT (http://preview.tinyurl.com/cyouvlw).
Essentially, the new monitor has about the same pixel pitch as my old monitor (at 1600X1200), and is positioned back at arms length rather than 12" from my nose on the desk.
I did check for dead pixels, and found none. There is no calibration to be had, however, beyond turning the back light up and down.
I have not yet tried to evaluate video lag (my only other big concern), but I'm hoping this thing will hold me over until OLEDs find their way into the realm of mortal men...
All and all, not a bad purchase on the face of it for yours truly.
Edit: one more bullet and a typo correction above

In stock form the car puts down a respectable 321 rear wheel horsepower. Supercharged with Vortech centrifugal unit, this goes to 441 at the wheels with full exhaust and headers. A 997.1 Turbo running on a dynojet only to the rear wheels puts down about 457 rear wheel horsepower stock. So, the supercharger on a base 997 Carrera 3.6 liter flat-6 just about brings the car to 911 Turbo power levels. Keep in mind the 997 Turbo wheel horsepower will drop when delivering power to all four wheels versus just the rears on the dyno.
Very nice results and a nice power gain.

text: My main issue is just the confusion. I understand the contracts say they can both use the Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch, but I can just see a lot of people who aren't aware of all of the BTS stuff being really confused by why there are two different Quicksilvers in the different series. Have we ever had to versions of the same character in two different series close together like this. I just remembered there are the two modern day Sherlock Holmes, so I guess it can be done. But those are also two very different versions of the character on two very different shows, and I have to wonder if the two versions of Quicksilver will be that different It's also IMO a little crappy to throw his casting out there so soon after it came out that they wanted to use Pietro and his sister in Avengers 2.

What is prevention?
Cancer prevention is action taken to lower the chance of getting cancer. By preventing cancer, the number of new cases of cancer in a group or population is lowered. Hopefully, this will lower the number of deaths caused by cancer.
To prevent new cancers from starting, scientists look at risk factors and protective factors. Anything that increases your chance of developing cancer is called a cancer risk factor; anything that decreases your chance of developing cancer is called a cancer protective factor.
Some risk factors for cancer can be avoided, but many cannot. For example, both smoking and inheriting certain genes are risk factors for some types of cancer, but only smoking can be avoided. Regular exercise and a healthy diet may be protective factors for some types of cancer. Avoiding risk factors and increasing protective factors may lower your risk but it does not mean that you will not get cancer.
Different ways to prevent cancer are being studied, including:
- Changing lifestyle or eating habits.
- Avoiding things known to cause cancer.
- Taking medicines to treat a precancerous condition or to keep cancer from starting.
General Information About Ovarian Cancer
Ovarian cancer is a disease in which malignant (cancer) cells form in the ovaries.
The ovaries are a pair of organs in the female reproductive system. They are in the pelvis, one on each side of the uterus (the hollow, pear-shaped organ where a fetus grows). Each ovary is about the size and shape of an almond. The ovaries make eggs and female hormones (chemicals that control the way certain cells or organs work in the body).
Ovarian cancer is the leading cause of death from cancer of the female reproductive system.
In recent years, there has been a small decrease in the number of new cases of ovarian cancer and the number of deaths from ovarian cancer. New cases of ovarian cancer and deaths from ovarian cancer are higher among white women than black women, but have decreased in both groups.
Women who have a family history of ovarian cancer and/or certain inherited gene changes, such as BRCA1 or BRCA2 gene changes, have a higher risk than women who do not have a family history or who have not inherited these gene changes. For women with inherited risk, genetic counseling and genetic testing can be used to find out more about how likely they are to develop ovarian cancer.
It is hard to find ovarian cancer early. Early ovarian cancer may not cause any symptoms. When symptoms do appear, ovarian cancer is often advanced.
See the following PDQ summaries for more information about ovarian cancer:
- Genetics of Breast and Ovarian Cancer (written for health professionals)
- Ovarian Cancer Screening
- Ovarian Epithelial Cancer Treatment
Ovarian Cancer Prevention
Avoiding risk factors and increasing protective factors may help prevent cancer.
Avoiding cancer risk factors may help prevent certain cancers. Risk factors include smoking, being overweight, and not getting enough exercise. Increasing protective factors such as quitting smoking, eating a healthy diet, and exercising may also help prevent some cancers. Talk to your doctor or other health care professional about how you might lower your risk of cancer.
The following are risk factors for ovarian cancer:
Family history of ovarian cancer
A woman whose mother or sister had ovarian cancer has an increased risk of ovarian cancer. A woman with two or more relatives with ovarian cancer also has an increased risk of ovarian cancer.
Inherited risk
The risk of ovarian cancer is increased in women who have inherited certain changes in the BRCA1, BRCA2, or other genes.
The risk of ovarian cancer is also increased in women who have certain inherited syndromes that include:
- Familial site-specific ovarian cancer syndrome.
- Familial breast/ovarian cancer syndrome.
- Hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC; Lynch syndrome).
Hormone replacement therapy
The use of estrogen-only hormone replacement therapy (HRT) after menopause is linked to a slightly increased risk of ovarian cancer in women who are taking HRT or have taken HRT within the past 3 years. The risk of ovarian cancer increases the longer a woman uses estrogen-only HRT. When hormone therapy is stopped, the risk of ovarian cancer decreases over time.
It is not clear whether there is an increased risk of ovarian cancer with the use of HRT that has both estrogen and progestin.
The use of talc may cause a small increase in the risk of ovarian cancer. Talcum powder dusted on the perineum (the area between the vagina and the anus) may reach the ovaries by entering the vagina.
Weight and height
Being overweight or obese during the teenage years, and gaining 40 or more pounds during adulthood is linked to an increased risk of ovarian cancer. Being obese is linked to an increased risk of death from ovarian cancer. Being tall (5'8" or taller) may also be linked to a slight increase in the risk of ovarian cancer.
The following are protective factors for ovarian cancer:
Oral contraceptives
Taking oral contraceptives ("the pill") lowers the risk of ovarian cancer. The longer oral contraceptives are used, the lower the risk may be. The decrease in risk may last up to 30 years after a woman has stopped taking oral contraceptives.
Taking oral contraceptives increases the risk of blood clots. This risk is higher in women who also smoke.
Tubal ligation
The risk of ovarian cancer is decreased in women who have a tubal ligation (surgery to close both fallopian tubes).
Breastfeeding is linked to a decreased risk of ovarian cancer. The longer a woman breastfeeds, the lower her risk of ovarian cancer.
Risk-reducing salpingo-oophorectomy
Some women who have a high risk of ovarian cancer may choose to have a risk-reducing salpingo-oophorectomy (surgery to remove the fallopian tubes and ovaries when there are no signs of cancer). This includes women who have inherited certain changes in the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes or have an inherited syndrome. (See the Risk-reducing salpingo-oophorectomy section in the PDQ health professional summary on Genetics of Breast and Ovarian Cancer for more information.)
It is very important to have a cancer risk assessment and counseling before making this decision. These and other factors may be discussed:
- Infertility.
- Early menopause: The drop in estrogen levels caused by removing the ovaries can cause early menopause. Symptoms of menopause include the following:
- Hot flashes.
- Night sweats.
- Trouble sleeping.
- Mood changes.
- Decreased sex drive.
- Heart disease.
- Vaginal dryness.
- Frequent urination.
- Osteoporosis (decreased bone density).
- Risk of ovarian cancer in the peritoneum: Women who have had a risk-reducing salpingo-oophorectomy continue to have a small risk of ovarian cancer in the peritoneum (thin layer of tissue that lines the inside of the abdomen). This may occur if ovarian cancer cells had already spread to the peritoneum before the surgery or if some ovarian tissue remains after surgery.
It is not clear whether the following affect the risk of ovarian cancer:
Studies of dietary factors including various foods, teas, and nutrients have not found a strong link to ovarian cancer.
Studies have not shown a link between drinking alcohol and the risk of ovarian cancer.
Aspirin and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs
Some studies of aspirin and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) have found a decreased risk of ovarian cancer and others have not.
Some studies found a very small increased risk of one rare type of ovarian cancer in women who were current smokers compared with women who never smoked.
Infertility treatment
Overall, studies in women using fertility drugs have not found clear evidence of an increasedrisk of ovarian cancer. Risk of ovarian borderline malignant tumors may be higher in women who take fertility drugs. The risk of invasive ovarian cancer may be higher in women who do not get pregnant after taking fertility drugs.
Cancer prevention clinical trials are used to study ways to prevent cancer.
Cancer prevention clinical trials are used to study ways to lower the risk of developing certain types of cancer. Some cancer prevention trials are conducted with healthy people who have not had cancer but who have an increased risk for cancer. Other prevention trials are conducted with people who have had cancer and are trying to prevent another cancer of the same type or to lower their chance of developing a new type of cancer. Other trials are done with healthy volunteers who are not known to have any risk factors for cancer.
The purpose of some cancer prevention clinical trials is to find out whether actions people take can prevent cancer. These may include eating fruits and vegetables, exercising, quitting smoking, or taking certain medicines, vitamins, minerals, or food supplements.
New ways to prevent ovarian cancer are being studied in clinical trials.
Clinical trials are taking place in many parts of the country. Information about clinical trials can be found in the Clinical Trials section of the NCI Web site. Check NCI's list of cancer clinical trials for ovarian cancer prevention trials that are now accepting patients.
Changes to This Summary (09/11/2014)
The PDQ cancer information summaries are reviewed regularly and updated as new information becomes available. This section describes the latest changes made to this summary as of the date above.
Changes were made to this summary to match those made to the health professional version.
About This PDQ Summary
About PDQ
Physician Data Query (PDQ) is the National Cancer Institute's (NCI's) comprehensive cancer information database. The PDQ database contains summaries of the latest published information on cancer prevention, detection, genetics, treatment, supportive care, and complementary and alternative medicine. Most summaries come in two versions. The health professional versions have detailed information written in technical language. The patient versions are written in easy-to-understand, nontechnical language. Both versions have cancer information that is accurate and up to date and most versions are also available in Spanish.
PDQ is a service of the NCI. The NCI is part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH). NIH is the federal government's center of biomedical research. The PDQ summaries are based on an independent review of the medical literature. They are not policy statements of the NCI or the NIH.
Purpose of This Summary
This PDQ cancer information summary has current information about ovarian cancer prevention. It is meant to inform and help patients, families, and caregivers. It does not give formal guidelines or recommendations for making decisions about health care.
Reviewers and Updates
Editorial Boards write the PDQ cancer information summaries and keep them up to date. These Boards are made up of experts in cancer treatment and other specialties related to cancer. The summaries are reviewed regularly and changes are made when there is new information. The date on each summary ("Date Last Modified") is the date of the most recent change.
The information in this patient summary was taken from the health professional version, which is reviewed regularly and updated as needed, by the PDQ Screening and Prevention Editorial Board.
Clinical Trial Information
A clinical trial is a study to answer a scientific question, such as whether one treatment is better than another. Trials are based on past studies and what has been learned in the laboratory. Each trial answers certain scientific questions in order to find new and better ways to help cancer patients. During treatment clinical trials, information is collected about the effects of a new treatment and how well it works. If a clinical trial shows that a new treatment is better than one currently being used, the new treatment may become "standard." Patients may want to think about taking part in a clinical trial. Some clinical trials are open only to patients who have not started treatment.
Clinical trials are listed in PDQ and can be found online at NCI's Web site. Many cancer doctors who take part in clinical trials are also listed in PDQ. For more information, call the Cancer Information Service 1-800-4-CANCER (1-800-422-6237).

Comic-Con: First Footage of 'Batman v Superman' and Wonder Woman
SAN DIEGO — It was maybe 30 seconds of footage, but it had Comic-Con on its feet.
A surprise peek at "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice" pumped up fans to 11 at the beginning of Warner Bros.' Comic-Con panel Saturday. It wasn't a scene, but a teaser, with Ben Affleck as Batman and Henry Cavill as Superman staring each other down, preparing for battle.
Because the film is still in production and doesn't come out until May of 2016, fans were unsure whether they would see anything of "Batman v Superman." The answer was very little, but just enough to whet their appetites.
"I was shooting last night and I jumped on a plane and came here this morning to give you an update," said director Zack Snyder, whose update was simply to tell the crowd, "I couldn't be happier with the way everything's going."
