Demonstrating a clear commitment to genocide-free investing, TIAA-CREF announced on January 4, 2010, that it had sold all of its holdings, worth $58 million as of September 30, in four companies tied to the genocide in Sudan.
TIAA-CREF's divestment of its holdings in PetroChina, CNPC, Sinopec and ONGC followed its announcement on March 26, 2009, to vigorously engage PetroChina and other problem companies partnering with the Government of Sudan and to divest from those companies if they continue to substantially contribute to genocide or crimes against humanity.
TIAA-CREF was the first large, mainstream financial services company to take a public stand supporting the vast majority of Americans who do not want their savings and pension funds connected to genocide.
"We recognize that genocide and crimes against humanity, whether in Darfur or elsewhere, require a higher standard of response."

Any help would be very much appreciated.

Unfortunately that's where the generation nowadays is going. Individualism lacks, all they do is mere copyings of what they see on TV plus education.
Dunno, some parents just don't teach children important values of life. I am talking about that type of parents who, instead of learning that things in life are achived through hard work, they just offer on a plate everything for them, and later on, when they're not capable of keeping up with their children's whims, the real 'war' starts as the now-teenagers are always grumpy, disrespectful and such because they were taught that when they snap their finger they get everything they want rather than working their ass-out for what they believe they deserve.

I have ZAISS running along side ForceField as two separate installations. I understand that you can buy ZA Extreme which has ForceField included. I've noticed that it has a licence to protect up to 3 PC's.
This has caught my eye, as my son has a laptop and will be going to Uni next year, so it would be nice to pay a single yearly fee yet protect two computers (added bonus: it's cheaper than buying single security suites for each one).
My question(s) is this; installation onto the two computers is bog-standard, but what if my son (or I for that matter) have to reinstall ZA Extreme? Do we just uninstall and reinstall as if it were a single program, as long as we have the product key, we would be okay?
If I renewed the product key - do I (and my son) just enter the key in and it will be registered?
I apologise if the questions either seem confusing or silly, but this concept is new to me...
Thanks for any help given,

Khloe Kardashian has made it inside a place some of the biggest stars in the world have never set foot in – the White House.
The reality starlet was on hand as her husband, Lamar Odom, and the rest of his Los Angeles Lakers met President Barack Obama in Washington, D.C., on Monday to celebrate the Lakers' 2009 NBA championship.
After the team posed for a photo with the Commander in Chief, Kobe Bryant presented the President with an Obama #1 Lakers jersey.
Obama then made his way into the few rows of seated guests who had accompanied the team, shaking hands with many of them along the way, including Khloe, as well as Kobe's wife, Vanessa Bryant.
As part of their day at the White House, Khloe, Lamar and the rest of the Lakers gang also went on a tour of the presidential grounds on Pennsylvania Avenue.
However, Khloe might not be the only Kardashian who gets to meet President Obama – if Reggie Bush's New Orleans Saints win the Super Bowl, he could always bring girlfriend Kim along on their post-game trip to Capitol Hill.
It has become a tradition for the champions of the NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL and several college sports to visit the White House following their win.

Will someone please stand up and give these paternalistic female (sic) politicians a reminder that the mission statement of both our federal government and the State of California is TO KEEP US FREE.
Government's job is to keep us free, not to keep us safe. If you want to be safe, raise your children properly. If you want to be safe, reprioritize your life to put the children at the top of your list. Not just YOUR children. ALL children.
A woman's place is in the village. A man's place is to be hunted, and to hunt.

Based on recent events, we need better bomb control policies. I dont the the right to own a bomb is part of the constitution.

Wo\'O Ideafarm is a registered user.
There are two ways to interpret the constitutional right of the people of the United States "to bear arms". The "collective interpretation" is that the people IN COMMUNITY have the right to form, train, provision, and equip militias and to maintain battle readiness, in order to deter crime by government. The "individual interpretation" is that the people INDIVIDUALLY have the right to arm themselves to defend against crime by private persons.
The latter interpretation raises the issue of crime prevention. The former interpretation raises the issue of the fundamental allocation of coercive power between the State and the People. In the United States, organic law empowers the People to take direct action by forming militias to revolt against a government that has encroached upon or outright repudiated the Constitution.
AFAIK, the U.S. Supreme Court has intentionally avoided determining whether the Constitutional right "to bear arms" is a community right or an individual private person right.
IMO, all of the discussions about which weapons to control or ban miss the constitutional point. The important question is whether the population is to be empowered or disarmed. If empowered, we need to find a way to restore the population's worthiness to be entrusted with lethal force. If disarmed, we need to find a way to restore THE GOVERNMENT'S worthiness to be so entrusted.
Either way, we have a problem. Either way, the solution is for society to reaffirm that the primary function of society, community, and each and every adult individual is to raise up the children into good, strong adult men and women.
To do that, we need to reaffirm the critical leading role that is played by the family. By "family" I mean a provider and protector husband / father, a nurturing wife / mother who is focused on managing and administrating the family and integrating it into the community by connecting it with other families, and children who know right from wrong, accept responsibility for their own actions, and respect the authority of the parents, teachers, police officers, ministers, and other adults to whom the community entrusts them.

We need laws to control liberal politicians who want to eliminate the Bill of Rights (and that goes for conservative politicians too).
© 2013 Thomson/Reuters: The two brothers suspected in the Boston Marathon bombings, who police say engaged in a gun battle with officers early Friday after a frenzied manhunt, were not licensed to own guns in the towns where they lived, authorities said on Sunday.
Just my guess, but maybe they did not have a permit to own a pressure cooker. We need more pressure...

If a police officer feels the need to have an AR-15, a shotgun, and a pistol to drive around the streets of Mountian View why shouldn't I have that same option?
After all the police carry those weapons to protect THEMSELVES. The police have no obligation or duty to protect individuals. None. The courts have rules on this many times. An individual has no expectation or right to protection provided by the State. We are supposed to protect ourselves.
But at the same time the Government wants to limits our options about how we can protect ourselves and others.
So I'll take the same weapons a police officer chooses thank you. If they think they need an AR-15 I do too.

What shining examples of precisely why we need to control the guns in our country! An AR-15 - or whatever the heck stupid names these things have - to drive around MV? One poster above has a history of criminally violent behavior too! Bill of rights, freedom - the right to get shot while learning your ABCs, the freedom to wear a bullet proof vest to the movies.

The brainchild of the Board of Control for Indian Cricket (BCIC), the IPL has developed into the most lucrative and most popular outlet for the game of cricket. Matches generally begin in late afternoon or evening so that at least a portion of them are played under floodlights at night to maximize the television audience for worldwide broadcasts. Initially, league matches were played on a home-and-away basis between all teams, but, with the planned expansion to 10 clubs (divided into two groups of five) in 2011, that format changed so that matches between some teams would be limited to a single encounter. The top four teams contest three play-off matches, with one losing team being given a second chance to reach the final, a wrinkle aimed at maximizing potential television revenue. The play-off portion of the tournament involves the four teams that finished at the top of the tables in a series of knockout games that allows one team that lost its first-round game a second chance to advance to the final match.
With the advent of the IPL, almost overnight the world's best cricketers—who had seldom made the kind of money earned by their counterparts in other professional sports—became millionaires. The owners of the IPL franchises, who included major companies, Bollywood film stars, and media moguls, bid for the best players in auctions organized by the league. At the outset of the IPL, the well-financed Mumbai Indians had the league's biggest payroll, more than $100 million. It cost the Chennai Super Kings $1.5 million to secure the services of M.S. Dhoni in the initial auction for the 2008 season and the Kolkata Knight Riders $2.4 million to sign Gautam Gambhir, the opening batsman for the Indian national team, in the bidding for the 2011 season.
The eight founding franchises were the Mumbai Indians, the Chennai Super Kings, the Royal Challengers Bangalore, the Deccan Chargers (based in Hyderabad), the Delhi Daredevils, the Punjab XI Kings (Mohali), the Kolkata Knight Riders, and the Rajasthan Royals (Jaipur). In late 2010 two franchises, Rajasthan and Punjab, were expelled from the league by the BCIC for breeches of ownership policy, but they were later reinstated in time for the 2011 tournament. Two new franchises, from Pune and Kochi, joined the IPL for the 2011 tournament.
The first tournament, held over 44 days in 2008, was won by the Rajasthan Royals, one of the smaller-market franchises, captained by Shane Warne, the great Australian bowler. The second IPL season had to be relocated to South Africa because the competition overlapped with that year's Indian general elections, and authorities believed it would not be possible to provide the security necessary to conduct both events simultaneously. The tournament, which was won by the Deccan Chargers, was still deemed a huge success. In 2010 IPL play returned to India. In April of that year Lalit Modi, the chairman and commissioner of the IPL, was suspended from his post for alleged financial irregularities over the allocation of franchises. In the wake of the IPL's success, other cricketing countries scrambled to grab some of the riches by forming their own domestic T20 leagues.
Results of the Indian Premier League championship are provided in the table.

Red Sox returning to WEEI radio
Club back on former broadcast partner starting Wednesday
By Tom Singer / MLB.com
The Red Sox are returning to their former longtime radio home. Starting with Wednesday night's home game against the Chicago White Sox, broadcasts of Red Sox games will be back on WEEI 850 AM, which had carried Boston games from 1995 to 2006, when they were switched to WRKO 680. WRKO and WEEI are both properties of Entercom New England, which has decided to return Red Sox broadcasts to their original spot on the dial. Explained Jason Wolfe, Entercom New England's vice president of AM programming, "We have a tremendously close partnership with the Red Sox, and are very excited to bring them back to WEEI. "This move will add consistency to our lineup, whereby all of our sports assets will be consolidated in the same place." WEEI already carried the Boston Celtics, Sunday Night and Monday Night NFL football, Patriots Monday and Patriots Friday, the Super Bowl, and the NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament. Such programming has established WEEI as the nation's highest rated sports radio station.

Comments about Epiphone Worn '66 Wilshire Electric Guitar:
I own over 30 guitars, but my Epiphones are among my favorites. The Wilshire '66 re issue is one of the best solid body guitars I have, including several Gibson's and Gretsch's...VERY lively, resonant mahogany body and neck -sustains like crazy and has beautiful tone...and a LOT of variety of sounds thanks to the GREAT Epi mini humbucker pickups...I think they are Epi's best pickup, and I am not alone in that. Very fast neck, very good feel, light and easy to play. One of the best current guitars and should cost a lot more...get one while it doesn't.
Comments about Epiphone Worn '66 Wilshire Electric Guitar:
I'm probably unsure if this guitar deserves a four or a five. Perfection is a tough achievement. But, this guitar lies somewhere in between there; especially considering the price. I heard about this guitar last year sometime, and I always had it in the back of my mind to consider. Recently, I went on a bit of a pedal spree and then, I took a look at some guitars, but I didn't want to spend too much.
I specifically chose this model in the Worn Cherry due to the mini humbucker pickups. I had a good impression of them because, I believe during the Concert for Bangladesh a guy came out and jammed on I guess a Firebird with them. I also do a lot of research before buying a product, and the NYT mini humbuckers were receiving good reviews as well as the guitar as a whole.
I had always wanted an SG for reach to the lower frets (Though, I do have guitars with reach). That was another plus, the neck joint at the 22nd fret like an SG.
I generally like a classic sound and the NYT mini humbuckers didn't disappoint. You can get a bright snappy sound or a bluesy tone or a psychedelic pop 60s sound. I do like the classic sound of Gibson Burstbuckers, but a little more brightness is welcome.
Finally, there is always the surprise I have something different factor. This guitar has that feature from the body to the fret access to the pickups to the whole guitar.
Comments about Epiphone Worn '66 Wilshire Electric Guitar:
I've had the black worn 66 Wilshire for about a year now which i've used at numerous concerts. Solid tuners never had a problem with it going out of tune. I love the New York Mini Humbuckers, Such a big difference in tone compared to my Gibson Les Paul Studio. I've been using my Wilshire with the Line 6 HD 100 half stack. The Wilshire has a nice mid-range tone so if you play drop D rythem and leads on top of it the leads come out really pronounced.
Comments about Epiphone Worn '66 Wilshire Electric Guitar:
OK, yes, we can see by the pics just how beautifully retro this guitar looks. Even better in person. Faded finish is the icing on the cake. Mini humbuckers SOUND great. Output matches a 335 Epi w/ a Gibson P94T bridge pickup. Very lightweight. Action was slightly high out of the box.... not too bad... not enough to make me lower it. If you're used to LOW action, then you'd probably lower it. Its all personal pref. Stays in tune well. Usually I change strings immediately on a new guitar but these actually arent too bad. But I KNOW when I slap a fresh set of Ernies on there, it'll only get better ! All in all , definately worth the money; not a lower end Epi. Nice quality guitar, cool looks, good sound. I say its the closest I'll get to owning a Strat.... since Epi's smart enough to put the knobs off to the side & out of the way.... Very happy with it.

The Morning Download: Balancing Big Data Promise and Pitfalls
Good morning. Big Data is an especially big deal for retailers like GameStop, who hope to turn insights about their customers into more frequent purchases at higher price points. The technology holds the promise of turning mountains of data into gleaming nuggets of information, but companies using this new tool have to ask themselves how much insight is too much, lest they find themselves staring down the barrel of a giant lawsuit. GameStop CIO Jeff Donaldson says the videogame retailer is mindful of that danger. "We don't want to give the impression that we are collecting so much data on our customers that we might be violating their trust," he tells CIO Journal.

Skip to comments.Prof. Dershowitz Hedges Allon Plan Support after Langfan Op-Ed
Posted on 04/30/2013 6:00:53 PM PDT by Eleutheria5
Prof. Alan Dershowitz, appearing at the Jerusalem Post Conference in New York this week, spoke about his plan to restart the peace talks. Dershowitz, who has not official position in Israel, spoke to PA President Mahmoud Abbas and suggested a version of the Allon Plan of 1970. His suggestion for a "tripartite settlement freeze" was panned by Israel's Minister of International Affairs, Yuval Steinitz, as well as by former National Security Advisor to PM Netanyahu, Dr. Uzi Arad, who opposed "ulilateral concessions."
AFSI's newly elected Chairman, Attorney Mark Langfan, sent an open letter to Prof. Dershowitz for posting in the oped section of Arutz Sheva, outlining the present day security and water rights issues which, he writes, make the Allon Plan impossible to implement.They include lacunas such as no provision for inspection of cargo entering the area, control of air space and immigration, the ease with which Sarin-tipped rockets could be launched against Israel and more.
Langfan challenged Prof. Dershowitz to a debate as to whether the "1970 Allon Plan being implemented in 2013 is a hoax on the Jewish people."
The following response was received by Att'y Langfan and forwarded by him to Arutz Sheva. In it, Prof. Dershowtitz hedges his support for the plan.
From: Alan Dershowitz To: Mark Langfan Sent: Tue, Apr 30, 2013 8:18 am Subject: Re: Open Letter to Professor Alan Dershowitz - Op-Eds - Israel National News
With all due respect, it misses my point. I argue against civilian settlements that have no positive relationship to Israel's security. Water does. I call for a variation on the Alon plan that takes into account Israel's current security needs including water. I'm not committed to Amy [sic] particular plan or formula-- only to a distinction between security needs and biblical claims.

I agree with you. It always amazes me how educated idiots think that somehow there will ever be peace between Israel and those Islamic countries who are committed to her destruction. I for one would exult in Israels destruction of them.

MUMBAI/NEW DELHI, Feb 20 (Reuters) - The Indian government is seeking to raise around $500 million by selling partial stakes in 10 state-owned companies via an exchange traded fund that will be operated by Goldman Sachs' asset management unit.
The Central Public Sector Enterprises ETF will start accepting subscriptions starting on Tuesday with an aim to raise as much as 30 billion rupees ($490.46 million) by March 21.
The ETF will target mainly retail investors, although the fund will also be sold to institutional and foreign investors.
The ETF is an important part of the government's target to sell stakes in state-owned companies worth 160.3 billion Indian rupees ($2.62 billion) by the year ending March so India can meet its revised fiscal deficit target of 4.6 percent of gross domestic product.
"This ETF will give the government a new vehicle to sell stakes (in state-owned companies)," said Alok Tandon, joint secretary in the Department of Disinvestment at a news conference on Friday.
"We're hopeful of good retail investor response."
A senior official in the finance ministry dealing with stake sales said the government has already raised 74.78 billion rupees as part of its disinvestment drive this year.
Tandon also said on Friday that India was aiming to raise an additional 30-40 billion rupees via the sale of a stake held by a state-run trust fund in Axis Bank Ltd.
Analysts have said that the ETF could better help the government divest its stakes in some of the public sector companies by pairing blue chips such as Oil and Natural Gas Corp Ltd (ONGC) with relatively smaller and financially weaker ones.
Finance Minister P. Chidambaram had first announced plans to introduce the ETF last year, but volatile markets have delayed the launch and also forced it to lower its disinvestment target from the previous 400 billion rupees.
The launch comes as the broader NSE index has rallied this month to record highs. But the individual performances of companies in the ETF have varied, including a gain of around 12 percent so far this year for ONGC, but a fall of around 9 percent in Coal India Ltd.
ETFs for retail investors have traditionally struggled in India despite their low management fees.
Equity ETFs had just about $225 million in assets under management as of the end of February, or less than 1 percent of the $150 billion held by domestic funds, according to data from Association of Mutual Funds in India. ($1 = 61.1675 Indian Rupees) (Additional reporting by Archana Narayanan in MUMBAI; Editing by Rafael Nam & Kim Coghill)

No personal info needed to view our list of top Scappoose roofers. Our list of Scappoose roofing contractors are hand picked from some of the top Roofers that serve Scappoose.The link below will show you the hand full of Scappoose roofing contractors that we have reviewed.Click Here to View Our List of Pre-Screened Scappoose Roofers!Are you looking for a few good local Scappoose roofing contractors? look no further, we have them here. We have researched this list of Scappoose roofing contractors for you. They all meet up with our standards of job knowledge and overall workmanship.As your roof gets older in age, you will more than likely need to have it repaired. When a home owner calls a roofer for a repair or a bid on a new roof, they need to be ready to make a decision. The home owner needs to decide if a repair is going to be good or if they need to look into a total replacement. If they decide on having the roofer do a total replacement then a tear off should be done.Tear Off – Scappoose Roofing Contractors.A tear off is where the company removes all the old material from the home and possibly the need to replace the sheeting of the plywood on the roof structure. If a roofer says your plywood needs replaced, you should listen up. (Nailing new roofing into bad wood is like installing your new roof on a sponge.) Once the structure is in good shape the felt paper can be installed. Felt paper is not for sealing, it's main purpose is to keep the plywood sheeting from drying out the oils in the roofing. The next step is to choose what type of roofing they want on their house and what color. A tear off will usually take a couple of days depending on the size of the building. Remember in Scappoose, weather can be a factor, it may be more important to make the building water tight then to do a complete clean up of the yard. So give the roofers some time. Doing a tear off is the best way to do a complete inspection of the structures durability. Such as the plywood sheeting and any fascia boards. It is not advised to put the new roofing on bad lumber. If you do there is a good chance it will blow off in a wind storm. Attaching to bad sheeting is like nailing into a loaf of bread.30 Year Composition – Scappoose Roofing Contractors.30 year composition is the choice of most Scappoose home owners. This roofing material is a very good roof for the Scappoose area. With proper maintenance it will last a couple decades or more. It is made up of Laminate composition material and will stand up to pretty high winds.Presidential Roofing – Scappoose Roofing Contractors.Presidential is the system that a lot of Scappoose "H.O.A.'s" will make you use if you are not wanting to use cedar. (This is a heavy duty, high wind, long lasting roofing material that is designed to look like cedar shake, kinda.) It is made up of thick laminated composition roofing material. Think this is not a Do It Yourself roofing system. Hire a professional roofer on this for sure.3 Tab Roofing – Scappoose Roofing Contractors.3-tab was used a lot in Scappoose back in the 70's and into the 80's they are not a good shingle for the Scappoose area. One common mistake made with 3-tab. It's not to be installed on roof of less than a 5/12 pitch. This roofing is usually made up of asphalt material, it is very thin and does not do well in wind. There is really no reason to use this type of roofing as it is just dollars cheaper then a 30 year composition roof.Metal Interlocking Roofing – Scappoose Roofing Contractors.Metal lock seam is a great choice, but one of the most expensive systems. The interlocking systems that are available in Scappoose is by far the better system when you are talking about a metal roof. (Metal roofing can be very loud in a rain storm.) Metal roofing systems can last a life time with proper maintenance.Ceramic Tile Roofing – Scappoose Roofing Contractors.Ceramic tile, This type of roofing has a very long life. (can last over 100 years) Here in Scappoose the biggest con for tile roofing is the wind, the wind will drive the water up and behind the tiles. It does not have any problems with rot of mold. The cons with tile roofing is the weight of the tiles and the cost. If your home was not engineered to have a tile roof, you should consult with a Scappoose framing specialist before installing tile to make sure the structure can handle the weight. There is also a lighter metal version of tile roofing. (You do not want to walk on the tile roof as they can be very fragile.)Cedar Shake Roofing – Scappoose Roofing Contractors.Cedar shake, In Scappoose a cedar shake roof only looks good for a couple of years. After that it takes almost a yearly maintenance program to keep it looking good. A Cedar roof will last you maybe 20 years with good maintenance. If you have a cedar shake roof and are thinking about getting up there your self, think twice. When wet, the shakes will be very slippery. If the roof is old and starting to curl the shakes will break when you walk on them. A cedar shake roof is a O.K. choice for a roof here in Scappoose. If you are looking for cedar shake Scappoose roofing contractors we have them.Commercial Roofing – Scappoose Roofing Contractors.Commercial roofing (flat roofs) here in Seaside is a little tricky because we get so much rain. There are really only 4 different methods of roofing a flat roof. The older buildings may have hot tar applied to the roof structure. (This is the old way of doing flat roofs). Or maybe they have a torch down roof. (torch down has a short life time and extreme fire danger when installing.). The new way to roof a flat area is with P.V.C. or T.P.O. roofing. (Thermoplastic Polyolefin)These two methods come in rolls and are strips of membrane roofing that are adhered to the surface and welded together at the seams with heat. (heat gun or iron).Flat Roof Repair – Scappoose Roofing Contractors.Flat roofing is one of the hardest repairs a roofer can do. Even well qualified Scappoose roofing contractors have trouble sometimes chasing down where the leak can be coming from. One of the biggest problems with the flat roof is the water can just sit and puddle on the roof. This gives the water a chance to seep down through the cracks that may have developed in the seams. Or if the roof is a older hot tar type roof the leak could be coming from anywhere. Applying new tar to the roof is only a band-aid, and will just move the leak to a different area. A roof with tar on it will need maintenance every year. The tar will dry out and crack in the summer months. Many roofers will take a torch and reheat the tar instead of applying more.Residential Roof Repair – Scappoose Roofing Contractors.One of the worst feelings you can get as a home owner is finding out your roof is leaking. Our crews of Scappoose roofing contractors that we have listed can help. Leaks can come from something as small as a crack in the rubber of a pipe jack or bad flashing's around a skylight. More advanced roof repairs would be something like a leak in a valley or shingles missing off the roof.If you are a , Do It Yourself type of person, here are a couple troublesome areas to check. A tube of sealer may get you through the winter. (We advise you NOT going up on your roof. but if you do, be careful and try not to walk up the valleys, you can put a hole it it.)The rubber seals around the pipe jacks.Cracked air vents.Exposed nail heads.Missing shingles.Holes in the valley.Flashing around the chimney or side wall.Scappoose Roof Leak Repair.One of the main reasons for a leaky roof here in Scappoose is the use of staples instead of roofing nails during the installation. As the roof ages and flexes with the weather, the head of the staple rubs the back of the upper shingle and works its way up through it. A roofing nail has a flatter head then a staple ,of about .35 of and inch. While a staple is about .02 of an inch. (The head of the staple is smaller and sharper then the head of the roofing nail.) It is also harder for the wind to pull up the roofing when using the nails. Ask your roofer to use roofing nails not staples. Another reason for a leak is improper installed valley.[Services include: residential roofing contractors,commercial roofing contractors, roof repair, tear offs, roof replacement, recovers, flat roof repair, torch down,laminate, presidential roofing, metal, interlocking metal roofing, 3 tab, roll roofing, cedar shake, plywood sheeting,roof maintenance, roof cleaning, roof inspection, air vents and commercial roof repair.Brands Offered: Malarkey, CertinTeed, Gaf, Atlas, IKO, Owens Corning, Pabco, Tamco.]Scappoose Roofing Contractors.Oregon Roofing Contractors Network.

Dodgers working on reliever League's mechanics
By Ken Gurnick / MLB.com
League has allowed two runs in two innings of relief since joining the team in exchange for Minor Leaguers Leon Landry and Logan Bawcom. A one-time closer for the Mariners, League lost that job and his effectiveness this year.
The Dodgers feel, and League said he agrees, that his problems are mechanical. League was conspicuously absent from the late innings of Friday night's close win, and manager Don Mattingly said he wants League's mechanics smoothed out before he throws him back into that kind of fire.
"He has a tendency to pull hard to the side and his arm drags behind him," said bullpen coach Ken Howell. "We're trying to get him to stay back on his right leg longer, stride the front leg out farther, and he'll stay in line with the target. It should be an easy fix."
League said he "absolutely agrees" that he has a tendency to pull off as he throws.
"It's been a battle all year," he said. "I had keys in Seattle, and we're using different keys here. I tend to get my front leg moving too fast and that causes my problems."
League had 37 saves, five blown saves and a 2.79 ERA in 2011. But this year, he has nine saves, six blown saves and a 3.86 ERA.
Mattingly meeting precedes trip-opening win
MIAMI -- The Dodgers on Friday night opened a 10-game trip with a 5-2 win that followed a team meeting called by manager Don Mattingly that came after a 4-5 homestand.
"I didn't think we played badly [at home], but I wanted to make sure they knew the opportunity they had," Mattingly said of his meeting.
"We have a lot of new guys and there's a lot of stuff they didn't get to hear [in Spring Training] because they weren't here. Guys like Shane [Victorino], [Joe] Blanton, Hanley [Ramirez]. We're at 49 games left, just a little under one-third. It's a lot of baseball, but not that much, you know?
"We can't sit here and waste games. I just needed to make sure they understood that every game is important, make sure they understand the opportunity. You don't get that many chances to win. What they did early gave us the opportunity to pick up guys to enhance the team. Now, can we put it all together?"
The first move made was the July 25 acquisition of Ramirez and reliever Randy Choate. Through that date, the Dodgers were eight games above .500 and 2 1/2 games out of first. Since that date, they've played one game above .500 and are tied for first.
Hairston exits early with hip tightness
MIAMI -- Dodgers third baseman Jerry Hairston left Saturday night's 7-3 loss to the Marlins in the seventh inning with left hip tightness that he said he's been managing to play through all year.
Hairston, who went 1-for-3 before leaving, said he felt discomfort diving for Donovan Solano's bouncer inside third base, the first of three consecutive doubles that turned the game around in a four-run fifth inning for the Marlins.
"If I take a wrong turn to step, I feel it, and that time I jammed it pretty good," Hairston said. "Now I've got to make sure and be a little cautious. I've managed to be ready to play the next day. I don't want to blow it out and need a week or two or a month. It's one of those things I've got to manage better and I will."
Hairston missed 16 games in May with a left hamstring strain, but otherwise has been as versatile as advertised, playing third base, second base and left field. He has been getting significant time at third base recently with the benching of Juan Uribe.
Dodgers' Kasten, Rosen check out Marlins Park
MIAMI -- Dodgers president Stan Kasten and Lon Rosen, top lieutenant to partner Magic Johnson, joined the club for a one-day visit to check out Marlins Park on Friday.
The fact-finding mission was designed to glean ideas from baseball's newest stadium that might be applicable to the significant upgrade of Dodger Stadium that Kasten has spoken about recently.
Earlier this week, the Dodgers hired Janet Marie Smith away from the Baltimore Orioles to spearhead the stadium's revitalization as senior vice president of planning and development.
Kasten and Rosen seemed especially interested in the state-of-the-art MarlinsVision that hovers over center field, as well as the moderate amount of advertising through the building.

Reynolds nervous about Mariners first pitch
By Josh Liebeskind / MLB.com
In town to throw out the ceremonial first pitch before Saturday's game against the Giants, Reynolds was on the field prior to Friday's contest, taking throws at second from the Mariners' catchers during pregame drills. But his mind was still on that first pitch.
"The first pitch is more nerve-wracking than playing the game," Reynolds said with a smile. "I've only done it a couple times. We'll see -- I got to make sure I throw a strike."
A Corvallis, Ore., native, Reynolds was drafted by the Mariners in 1980 and debuted with the club in 1983. He spent 10 of his 12 Major League seasons with Seattle, earning two trips to the All-Star Game and three Gold Gloves. He now works as a studio analyst with MLB Network.
Many of his best memories playing in Seattle revolved around the opportunity to be close to home, just a short drive for his family and friends, he said. But Reynolds also said he will never forget the great moments his teammates had.
"It's more about watching [Ken Griffey Jr.] on balls hit in the gap, watching them run after it, or Alvin Davis hitting that game-winning homer, or something like that," Reynolds said. "I played with a lot of great players, so that was fun."
After two-year absence, Perez back in bigs
SEATTLE -- Mariners general manager Jack Zduriencik announced prior to Saturday's game with the Giants that the team had called up veteran left-hander Oliver Perez from Triple-A Tacoma. In a corresponding move, they optioned right-hander Steve Delabar to Tacoma.
Perez, 30, signed with the Mariners prior to Spring Training as a non-roster invitee and was not on the 40-man roster. To make room for the reliever, Seattle designated Minor League outfielder Chih-Hsien Chiang for assignment.
"[Perez] was throwing the ball well in Triple-A, obviously a lot of big league experience -- different role for him out of the bullpen -- high strikeout ratio from the left side, so we felt like it was a good time to take a look at [him]," Mariners manager Eric Wedge said.
Perez posted career bests in back-to-back seasons for the Mets in 2007-2008 as a starter. He won 15 games in 2007 and then 10 in 2008, when he struck out a career-high 180 in 194 innings, also a career best. Since then, the lefty has struggled through patellar tendinitis and has transitioned to the bullpen. He has not pitched in the Major Leagues since 2010, although he played in the Nationals organization last season.
"After I got the call -- yesterday, I think -- I felt very excited because my last three years I was not that great and it was really tough for me," Perez said. "I almost retired because it's not easy, it's not easy being in this situation."
After pitching with the Nationals' Double-A club last season, the coaches told him he could evolve into a lefty specialist out of the bullpen if he put in the work. That spurred him to play winter ball this past offseason, and he said his velocity is now up.
In 22 games with Tacoma this year, Perez was 2-2 with a 4.65 ERA and one save out of the bullpen. He had 42 strikeouts and 19 walks in 31 innings pitched. He said he normally would throw more than one inning per outing with Tacoma.
Delabar, 28, opened the season with the Mariners and posted a 1-1 record with a 5.18 ERA in what was a team-high 25 appearances, but struggled to keep the ball in the park, allowing seven home runs. He was optioned to Tacoma on May 30 but was recalled June 13. Delabar pitched two scoreless innings on June 14 in his only appearance since rejoining the Mariners.
Chiang, 24, has spent time with Tacoma and most recently Double-A Jacksonville this season. He originally came to the Mariners from the Red Sox as part of the Erik Bedard trade in 2011.
Mariners give Gutierrez day of rest
SEATTLE -- After starting in center field back-to-back nights in his return to the Mariners following a stint on the disabled list to begin the season, Franklin Gutierrez received a day off Saturday.
Mariners manager Eric Wedge said that although Gutierrez was briefly shaken up after fouling a ball off his left knee in Friday's game, he was merely giving the former Gold Glove winner a break.
"We're still going to ease him in here for the first 10 days or so and pick some spots for him," Wedge said Saturday. "With the day game tomorrow, he played two days in a row, [so] it's a good time to give him a little break and get him back in there tomorrow."
Gutierrez is 1-for-6 with a run and an RBI in two games after returning from a partial pectoral tear and plantar fasciitis.
Worth noting
Kevin Millwood started Saturday's game against the Giants. It was his first appearance since throwing the first six innings of the Mariners' combined no-hitter on June 8. Millwood left that start with a strained right groin.
Entering Saturday, third baseman Kyle Seager had reached base safely via a hit or walk 25 times (15 hits, 10 walks) in his last 14 games. His on-base percentage has shot up from .299 to .324 during that time.
Left-handed reliever Lucas Luetge is the only pitcher in the Major Leagues who has thrown at least 15 innings without allowing an earned run.

Penne alla Vodka Sauce | The Barefoot Contessa Project continues...
This post is part of my "A Month with The Barefoot Contessa" project. To read all about the project and to find the index of posts for the project, click here.
I've been saving this one. Immediately, I knew it would be a favorite. And it is. Of course, I love any and every kind of pasta... especially with a tomato cream sauce. I'm not sure why, but it seems that "Vodka Sauce" is really just tomato cream sauce. I'm not sure exactly what the Vodka adds, but so the recipe goes.
I made slight revisions (of course, because you know I can't just do what I'm told...) :
- I did not puree the sauce. I really like the texture of the hand-crushed tomatoes
- I did not use fresh oregano because I didn't have time to go the "good grocery store" to get it. So, I just used dried as directed.
- I only cooked the sauce in the oven for 1 hour, vs. the 1 hour 45 minutes, as directed. We were hungry!
This recipe is so delicious - very similar (but simpler) to the Tomato Cream Sauce I used to "Jazz Up Frozen Ravioli" in taste, but different in preparation.
Another winner from The Barefoot Contessa!

I had some ground meat to use up last week and also some cream so made a bolognese/vodka hybrid that was actually pretty yummy. I read once the vodka adds a hint of heat in the back of the throat. Whatever it does, vodka sauce is just so good!ReplyDelete
I loved it too as did my husband! Next time I think that I'll cut down on the salt a little as we both felt that it was a little too much for us. Otherwise, I'm so happy to have finally found a great vodka sauce recipe.ReplyDelete
Looks great!ReplyDelete
As I'm sure you've seen on Instagram, this recipe was a crowd favorite, and with good reason! I've made it three times now (though the third time was for a new mom), so it's already in heavy rotation. As the commenter above said, the vodka adds just a little heat, which I definitely found with this sauce.ReplyDelete
A staple in my house, its a wonderful recipe......bon appetit!ReplyDelete
LOVE this recipe! I made it awhile ago and I think I may have to make it again ASAP. Loving this series. Ina is my all time favorite!ReplyDelete

Food trucks might not be a big part of Durangos food scene yet, but as our community opens its doors to wider choices in housing and land use, it stands to reason that restrictions will also lighten up for more small food producers to sell their goods outside of brick and mortar venues.
Durango entrepreneurs ready to be innovative and with their fingers on the pulse of foodies could emerge from bad economic times and still land on their feet, just as so many ethnic food producers and chefs in New York, Boston, Portland, Chicago and a host of smaller communities have done.
Food truck choices, while fast, go beyond the expected. Just about anything that can go on a plate can go on a stick, including wide ranges of barbecue, grilled or roasted entrees. Soups, stews and chili have long been served from windowed trucks, as have salads and frozen treats.
This weeks Food feature is about a pastry chef who believes theres a market for her confections, but shes not ready to set up shop in a permanent location.
What questions should this evolution in food service opportunities raise for you?
Is it fair to those who invest in brick-and-mortar food service operations to compete with mobiles that can serve the same food and charge much less? Or does the public now require a wide range of access and delivery options?
How much are consumers really willing to pay for service, atmosphere and ambiance?
Should beer and wine be served from mobile trucks?
Some argue that lack of storage and preparation space is the motivator that keeps mobile foods fresh. Will this raise the bar for brick-and-mortar food providers?
Social media drives crowds to food truck routes. Menu selections and locations are tweeted. The operative word is fast, even if the food is not.
Is sitting down to a multi-course meal going to become a thing celebrated by families maybe a half dozen times a year?
Ive been hearing from lots of young families lately who are in the throes of remodeling or building new homes. Most agree that a dining room is pretty much a waste of space, a dinosaur that serves no purpose.
Why have a dining room, they ask?
(Was I the last bride on the planet to register for china, crystal and silver?)
This much I know: Sitting down to a meal is indeed still a celebration and location matters.
Im fortunate that I have family and friends who appreciate the time it takes to celebrate every step of the time-consuming commitment to good food and around-the-table bitching no, I mean conversation.
I like the idea of food trucks because they appeal to my impulsive evil twin who eats whatever and whenever the urge surfaces. But Im not ready to throw in the towel.
Im going to pledge to put flowers on the table and use cloth napkins more often. Ive just about worn the silver plate off the silver and Ive chipped more crystal than anyone I know, but so what?
Some things remain true even when progress and a changing economy drive change dress up and chances are youll like yourself more. (Or at least you might behave.)
Enjoy the treats from a food truck. But also take the time to celebrate in a brick-and-mortar kitchen or dining room, even if its your own.

Chrome program cans campaign ads
Sick of the election?
If you use Google's Chrome Web browser to surf the Internet, you're in luck. A new browser extension gets rid of all mentions of Mitt Romney and Barack Obama on Facebook and replaces them with campaign ads from a bygone era.
Story Continued Below
So instead of "Romney-Ryan" banners, you might see, say, "Nixon-Agnew" or "Bush-Quayle" instead.
The project is the brainchild of Noah Veltman, whose previous programming accomplishments include " An interactive chart of historical US federal income tax brackets," " An area chart of presidential pardons in the 20th century" and " Distribution of tweets by number of characters."
"I wouldn't say I'm sick of the election itself, but starting around the conventions my news feed was getting saturated with pointless political handwaving, and I got tired of being bombarded with a new cycle of outrage every day," Veltman told POLITICO. "Getting upset over campaign politics on Facebook (on either side of the spectrum) is nothing if not preaching to the choir, and often pretty uninformed preaching at that. So I had the idea for the extension about a week ago and actually coded it while watching the first debate last week! thought I should replace the content with something fun rather than just erasing it, and I liked the idea of vintage campaign ads because of the contrast between Facebook, the much-hyped campaign medium of the future, and political ads from 100 years ago."

I don't know when the GUI for DataLock was removed as it's not something you have to visit often, but here is my question.
I am trying to re-install my laptop, with a new drive, but I want to get the install partition off of my old one first (and my a copy of all my data would be nice). However with DataLock installed I cannot see them with the imaging tools and so failing at the first hurdle.
I use to have the option under Identity & Data tab to access the DataLock settings, but these seem to have disappeared in the later versions.
Can anyone tell me how you run up the DataLock GUI so I can start the decryption of my hard drive?
I'm am running ZoneAlarm Extreme with DataLock on Windows 7 64bit.

Last week a call came into the office from retired reporter Jack Nelson, who lives in Bethesda, Md. He wanted to ask a few questions regarding a letter he received from an East Washington Street address in Quincy. The letter informed Nelson that he was the winner of a $50,000 lottery. And just to show they were on the up and up, a check made out to Nelson in the amount of $985 was enclosed.
I've heard it said that it takes a village to raise a child. I have no idea if that is true or not. We grew up out at the end of Stonewall Street. The blacktop ended up at the hill in front of Paul David Campbell's house. You had to crunch the gravel beneath your feet to get on out to us.
I've been experimenting over the past week. I decided to drive the speed limit. No pushing the limit, no the-cops-won't-notice-if-I-go-a-mile-or-two-over attitude...none of that. I've driven the speed limit wherever I've gone, no excuses.
Don't get me wrong – I'm as guilty as the next person of pushing the speed limit. When I've run late, I've driven faster than I should. I admit it. But this past week, I decided to do the right thing.
And it's been a real education.
It has been a long time ago since I was in school, and there have been a lot of changes. In my opinion, some of those changes have made things better and some have not.
One Valentine's Day we grew weary of the same old "Be Mine Forever" cards, the same old chocolate and the same old girls. Our town was fairly small. Me and Ricky, Yogi, Don and Buddy had been swapping cards with Jane, LaRenda, Graylene, Pam and Ruth Ann since the first grade. Miss Carolyn demanded it. Miss Dorothy, the next year, quoted her verbatim. And then Miss Belle and Miss Dinwiddie...well, you can see our problem.
Kids do gross stuff. That's just the way it is. I believe, in fact, it's a part of the kid creed they're handed at birth.
My 3-year-old niece, Amanda, is no exception. I got an e-mail from my brother (her dad) last week that proved that although my niece is a prissy, pink-loving, lip-gloss-snitching girlie-girl, she also has a gross side.
What is it with Florida and children?
Every time I hear something on the news about a missing and exploited child, even before they say where it happened, my mind immediately clicks that it happened in our state.
It seems that, for whatever reason, children in Florida ages 3 to 13 are not safe, especially little girls. There was a time when you could lock your door and go to bed. You felt safe, knowing that when you got up your kids would still be there. But I guess that's a thing of the past.
I ran into Times Sports Editor Joe Ferolito at an eatery in Bristol. He was over there helping someone out, which seemed perfectly natural to me. Joe has been in the helping-someone-out business as long as I have known him.
It's finally happened. The glow in which our new president had basked has faded.
One month after President Barack Obama took his oath of office, 60 percent of Americans approve of the job he's doing, down from 65 percent three weeks ago. The percentage of people who disapprove has increased to 26 percent, up from 16 percent.
Some would argue that this is due to grumblings among Republicans. But numbers show that in mid-January, the majority of Republicans had a favorable opinion of Obama.
As of last Friday President Barack Obama has been in office one month. But from some of the comments I have heard on television and radio, and from individuals, you would think the man had been in office for four or five years.
It started the day he was sworn into office. Immediately, some of the people over at Fox News were counting the minutes. It was almost as if they were saying,"Well, he's been in office for 30 minutes. Now let's see what he can do."
The next day, it was, "He's been in office for a whole day and what has he done? Nothing."

In Career and Technical Education, theories and other philosophical approaches to education are taught in the context of practical experience. For example, students who wish to teach in the construction area will already have work experience in that area. In the Career and Technical Education program, that experience is combined with teaching methodologies. Career and Technical Education offers degree and non-degree licensures. State of Minnesota Career and Technical Education licensure requires a combination of technical competency and some related work experience. Individuals should consult with an advisor to determine the specific requirements for their field.
Note: Students interested in teaching career and technical education who do not yet have work experience may consider a bachelor of science degree in Technology Education. (See the Industrial Technology section in this catalog.)
The Bachelor of Science in Career and Technical Education does not meet licensure requirements for secondary school teaching in technology education or business education.
Significant changes in secondary licensure for career and technical education have recently taken place. Individuals should consult with a faculty advisor to determine what requirements will need to be met.
See Section II, Enrollment for required high school preparation.
Note: exceptions may be made based on work experience. Contact the Office of Admissions or the Career and Technical Education advisor.

NORTH AUGUSTA, S.C. -- While Thursday was technically the second day of the Nike Peach Jam, the 17u division (the oldest age group) began play on Thursday, making it feel like opening day.
With only the top 24 Nike sponsored 17u teams, and top 16 teams from Nike's core of 16u teams, invited to compete for the most prestigious title in AAU basketball, the competition was heated.
With head coaches from Kentucky, Indiana, Florida, Kansas, UCLA, Pittsburgh, Ohio State, Wisconsin, Michigan, Michigan State, Arizona, Villanova, West Virginia, South Carolina, SMU, Oregon, and countless others there, the recruiting scene was on full display in North Augusta. Here are some of the storylines that Rivals.com followed.
2014 Indiana commitment and Spiece Indy Heat forward Trey Lyles looked spectacular in two performances on Thursday. The 6-foot-10 athletic five-star, who can player either at small or power forward, was finishing above the rim with dunks all day as he led his Spiece team to a 1-1 record. Future coach Tom Crean of Indiana had to be all smiles as he looked on while Lyles hit face-up jumpers, rebounded at a high rate, and scored with strength in traffic. On an AAU team full of underclassmen playing up an age group, including fellow Rivals100 prospects JaQuan Lyle and Trevon Bluiett, Lyles is the go-to player because of his combination of physical and fundamental abilities.
An often overlooked player on a perimeter-oriented New Jersey Playaz squad, 6-foot-9 power forward Mike Young made his presence felt on Thursday in a win over Spiece Indy Heat. Young is an intriguing prospect who is skilled enough to step on the wings and make shots, or powerful enough at 230 pounds to score with his back to the basket. A three-star prospect ranked in the Rivals150, the versatility of Young is impressive, but it is the energy that he plays with which excited college coaches in attendance. Florida, Seton Hall, and Xavier were among teams tracking Young as he played a nice all-around game, in his typical throwback style, to lead his team to victory.
Julius Randle, the No. 2 prospect in the 2013 Rivals150, doesn't feel bad that his opponents are physically inferior; he just keeps on taking advantage of it. There simply aren't any prospects in the nation who can match the strength, speed, and leaping ability of the 6-foot-9 power forward from the Texas Titans. Randle easily lived up to his top-five prospect billing in Augusta on Day 1, as he used his ballhandling skills to take the ball off the class and drive through defenders to powerfully score around the rim. Coaches from SMU, Kansas, Ohio State, Kentucky, and Texas all looked on excitedly as Randle cruised his way to a pair of double-doubles in two Texas Titan wins.
2014 forward Jae'sean Tate, a four-star from All Ohio Red, continued his ascension on college coaches' recruiting boards on Thursday by dominating the 16u division against California Supreme in the morning session. Tate is a matchup nightmare because of his size at 6-foot-5, overwhelming strength, and superior leaping ability. He might not be the most skilled prospect, but no one on the court works harder or wants to win more. Tate showed some improved footwork in the win, using nice double-pivot finishes around the rim with his dominant left hand. Also getting out and running the break efficiently, Tate threw down a pair of monster two-handed dunks after he created turnovers. Ohio State and Michigan tracked Tate closely, as did Dayton and Xavier (who have offered the forward).
No one team has a more impressive "Big Three" than the Oakland Soldiers trio of five-star 2013 forward Aaron Gordon, four-star 2013 forward Stanley Johnson, and four-star 2013 guard Jabari Bird. In a blowout win over Team Final, that trio was phenomenal, led by the athletic and high energy play of Gordon. That was made even more impressive by the fact that the No. 5 player from the Rivals150 had not competed in game action in almost four months due to injury. Gordon was flying above the rim to finish alley-oops, attacking the basket off the dribble, and seemed like he had the ball glued to his hands when pursuing rebounds around the basket. Bird and Johnson both showed impressive athleticism of their own, combined with good ballhandling skills for their size, as they attacked the basket on the break and scored with ease and consistency. That "Big Three" has Soldiers coaches thinking Nike Peach Jam title as teams cannot find ways to match the physicality or effort of those elite prospects.
Four-star wing Davon Reed has always been known as sort of a jack-of-all trades. Thursday, the 6-foot-5 prospect from Team Final (based out of Philadelphia and New Jersey) found different ways to impact the game, leading his team to a 1-1 record. Playing alongside another sparkplug of energy in five-star forward Rondae Jefferson, Reed quietly waits for his scoring opportunities. He also takes advantage of them by using his power and leaping ability to finish well around the rim. Reed is capable of playing a point-forward role, makes plays on the defensive end, and is starting to get better as a shooter with good size from the wing. Reed said that Wake Forest, Connecticut, Memphis, Miami (Fla.), and Louisville (five of the schools from his final list of eight) are currently recruiting him the hardest.
Three-star Baltimore Elite forward Jamel Artis stood out in his team's second game on Thursday, an overtime loss to All Ohio Red. At 6-foot-5 with skill and athleticism, Artis doesn't have a true position as a small forward or a power forward, but he flat out can get the job done as a scorer and energetic, high-volume rebounder. He shows a nice offensive IQ where he takes advantage of his matchup, be it with speed or power, and has the touch to step out on the wing and knock down jumpers. Artis is currently a prospect that a lot of high major programs are monitoring during the evaluation period. With his aggressive and competitive nature he could easily earn several more offers before the Nike Peach Jam comes to an end.
Three-star Rivals100 point guard Clayton Custer, a class of 2014 prospect from Mokan Elite, put on a ballhandling show in a battle against Houston Hoops in the evening session. While he doesn't necessarily look the part of a big-time point guard, Cluster is a high-level passer, shot-maker, and overall creator of offense who can use deception to get past his man. High majors tracked the performance closely as Cluster was able to consistently make passes for assists to teammates, while very rarely throwing it to the other team. Kansas State, Oklahoma, Nebraska, Oklahoma State, Stanford, and Tulsa are among the schools recruiting Cluster who watched him on Thursday.
