Kinsler ready to go after sitting with virus
By Christian Corona / MLB.com
Like he normally does, Kinsler batted leadoff and returned to second base. Alberto Gonzalez filled in for Kinsler at second base during Wednesday's 4-1 victory over the Athletics, his third straight start and batted second. Elvis Andrus took over for Kinsler in the leadoff spot of the order for the second time this season.
"I was sick," Kinsler said. "I couldn't play."
Kinsler, who leads the Major Leagues with 33 runs, is batting .222 with three RBIs in his last 13 games. The Rangers are 16-8 when Kinsler scores a run, and 8-6 when he doesn't.
"He's fine," said manager Ron Washington after Wednesday night's game. "By the time we got to the fourth inning, he was ready to go. But it was too late."
Hamilton has brief day off before pinch-hitting
ARLINGTON -- Every regular in the Rangers' lineup got a day off this week except one. On Thursday, Josh Hamilton got his, albeit until the eighth inning.
"It was just as simple as it was to give the rest of them a day off," said manager Ron Washington. "Just had to pick a day."
Hamilton, who extended his hit streak to an American League-best 16 games during Wednesday's 4-1 win over the Athletics, was out of the starting lineup Thursday. David Murphy filled in for Hamilton in left field and batted fifth. Hamilton leads the AL with a .399 batting average, 18 home runs and 45 RBIs.
His 16-game hit streak, the longest in his career since a 23-game stretch in June 2010, came to an end during Thursday's 5-4, 10-inning loss to the Athletics. Hamilton entered the game as a pinch-hitter for Craig Gentry in the eighth inning and went 0-for-2.
"It allows you to be stress-free for a few innings," Hamilton said. "Not really having to think about the game, but just out there supporting your teammates and encouraging them. If we have a day off, about the sixth inning, I'm still getting ready. In about the sixth inning, I went to the cage, and I was ready to go."
Michael Young was hitting third in the Rangers' lineup, where Hamilton normally bats, as the designated hitter.
"We have a lot of established guys in our lineup," Young said. "Josh is on an incredible tear, but we really have a talented team with a bunch of established hitters so that's not really an issue right now."
Nathan blowing hitters away
ARLINGTON -- Before Wednesday, Joe Nathan had only made four appearances all month.
He had pitched in each of the Rangers' four series, but had only one save opportunity, which he converted in a 5-2 win over the Indians on May 5.
"There haven't been a lot of chances out there, but I've been in every series," Nathan said. "This job, as much as we don't want it to be, it's a flooding and then it's a drought. You're going to get a ton of chances and then there's going to be spells when you don't get out there."
Nathan struck out the side in the ninth inning of Wednesday's 4-1 win over the Athletics, needing only 15 pitches to do, so and showing an increase in velocity, touching 95 and 96 mph.
"It's been a while since I have thrown this hard," Nathan said. "I've been used to throwing 91, 92 mph. I probably hit [95-96 mph] back in '08, but not as consistently. ... Velocity's not the most important thing out there, location is. But it doesn't hurt, because you can get away with a lot more mistakes."
"He's back," said manager Ron Washington. "He had tremendous stuff last night. Each time he's taken the ball, since the first two games of the season, he's been getting sharper and sharper."
Since blowing his second save of the year in a 4-3 loss to the Mariners on April 11, Nathan has posted a 0.77 ERA and five saves.
"Saves aren't important. Winning games is, however it happens," said Nathan. "That was just a little raindrop."
GM Daniels impressed with bullpen
ARLINGTON -- It's no secret that a team's bullpen is crucial to its success, particularly in the later months of the season.
Fortunately for the Rangers, their bullpen boasts the best ERA in the Major Leagues at 2.13. Rangers relievers are also holding hitters to a Major League-best .210 batting average and have walked only 16 batters in 101 1/3 innings this season, while striking out 97.
"They've all put the team first and been prepared," said general manager Jon Daniels. "Whether it's Scott [Feldman], who has the ability to start as we saw the other day, they've all kind of put that aside and put the team first."
Feldman suffered a loss on Monday against the Royals but did not give up an earned run in 4 2/3 innings. Adrian Beltre made a throwing error, his second of the season, which extended a fifth inning that saw the Royals take a 2-1 lead on a single by Alcides Escobar. That would be the last batter Feldman faced before he exited the game.
Joe Nathan retired the side in Wednesday's win over the Athletics, striking out all three batters he faced, and picking up his eighth save. Alexei Ogando has a team-best ERA 0.45 ERA and has not allowed a run in his last 15 1/3 innings, while Koji Uehara has a 9 1/3 scoreless-innings streak of his own.
"We've just tried to put as strong and as deep a roster together as possible," Daniels said. "Guys are going to struggle for periods. Injuries, you don't know when or where, but they're going to happen. We have to be proactive and get out in front of them."
Through 38 games, the Rangers have yet to make a roster move.
"Knock on wood," Daniels said.
Worth noting
Double-A Frisco shortstop Jurickson Profar singled in the fifth inning of Wednesday's game, extending his hitting streak to 26 games. He has reached base in 35 straight games.
Washington said Feldman, who made a spot start on Monday for Derek Holland, will likely not be available until Friday's game against the Astros.
Wednesday's game against the Athletics marked the 12th sellout at the Rangers Ballpark in Arlington, tied for the third most in team history. Thursday's game was also projected to be a sellout.
At 24-14, the Rangers are off to the second-best 38-game start in team history.

Bullpen allows one to slip away as Cole Hamels is once again denied win no. 10.
The Phillies' bullpen allows a win to slip away as another good outing by Cole Hamels is wasted as the Phillies lose to the Dodgers, 4-3. The Phillies would score their first run in the first inning, as Chase Utley, batting second against Dodgers' starter Clayton Kershaw, would hit a solo shot, his thirtieth home run of the year, to give the Phillies a quick 1-0 lead. The Dodgers would tie the game in their half of the first, as, with two men on, and two outs, Casey Blake would hit a RBI single, scoring Matt Kemp, who has earlier doubled. The Phillies would retake the lead in the second when Cole Hamels would help his own cause by hitting a RBI single, knocking in Chris Coste, who has earlier singled and has gone to third on Eric Bruntlett's single, giving the Phillies a 2-1 lead. The Phillies would increase their lead in the third as Pat Burrell would hit a sacrifice fly, scoring Jimmy Rollins, who has earlier doubled and then stole third, to make it 3-1 Phillies. The game would then become a pitchers' duel between Kershaw and Hamels, with Kershaw confounding Phillies' batters, as he would end up striking out eight Phils and not giving the Phils the clutch hit they needed to increase their lead, before he is finally lifted in the sixth. The Dodgers would make it 3-2 Phillies in their half of the sixth, as, with two men on, and one out, Manny Ramirez would hit a RBI single, scoring Juan Pierre, who has gotten on based earlier with a bunt single and has moved to second on Kemp's single, while Kemp moved to second. After a Blake ground out, pitcher to first, for the second out of the inning would move the runners to second and third, Hamels would intentionally walk Nomar Garciaparra to load the bases. Hamels would then get out of the inning by getting Russell Martin to line out to Utley. After getting a 1-2-3 seventh, Hamels would be lifted for a pitch hitter in the eighth, handing the ball over to the normally spot on bullpen which, before last night's game, had only blown eight save opportunities, the best in the National League. Well, the bullpen would blow their ninth save opportunity, as Chad Durbin would, with no one out, load the bases via a single (Kemp), a walk (Jeff Kent) and a hit batman (Ramirez). He would then give up a sacrifice fly to Blake, for the inning's first out, scoring Kemp and leaving runners on first and second, tying the ballgame. He would then end the inning by getting Garciaparra to hit into a 6-4-3 double play. In the ninth, J.C. Romero, pitching in place of Durbin, would lead the inning off by hitting Martin on the foot. James Loney would then move Martin over to second as he grounds out, first to the pitcher, for the first out of the inning. Andre Ethier would then end the game with a walk-off single to left, scoring Martin, and giving the Dodgers a 4-3 victory.
Cole Hamels gets a no-decision as he is for the seventh straight start denied victory number 10. He would go seven innings, giving up only two earned runs on five hits, while striking out seven Dodgers. Chad Durbin receives his third blown save of the year as he goes an inning, giving up an earned run on one hit, a walk and a hit batter. J.C. Romero would take the lost as he goes a third of an inning, giving up an earned run on a hit and a hit batter. His record is now 4-4 with an ERA of 2.30. Clayton Kershaw would also get a no-decision as he pitches six innings, giving up three earned runs on six hits, while striking out eight. Joe Beimel would pitch a scoreless inning, giving up no hits. Hong-Chih Kuo would get the win, as he pitches two innings, giving up no hits and no runs. His record is now 4-2 with an ERA of 1.70.
Once again the Phillies' offense has hurt the team as it is unable to do anything after scoring its third run in the third. It didn't do anything in the middle innings, and blew an opportunity with a runner on second and one man out in the sixth to do further damage. The lack of a pure contact hitter within in the bottom part of the line-up keep hurting them when they need such a hitter the most. Although the bullpen will be the one that folks will be pointing the finger at for the lost, the real culprit will be the still inconsistant offense.
The Phillies (64-55) will continue their four games series with the Dodgers (60-59, 2nd National League West) as they now look to split the series. The game will be played at Dodgers Stadium and will start at 10:10 pm Eastern (7:10 pm Pacific). The Phillies' starter will be Joe Blanton (6-12 (1-0), 4.71), who is coming off a no-decision against the Pirates on August 8, where he threw seven shutout innings, giving up only one hit, in the Phillies' 2-0 lost. Blanton will be looking to continue his present string of quality starts while hoping to give the Phillies their first win on the road trip while trying to muzzle Manny Ramirez's hot bat. The Dodgers will be sending to the mound Brad Penny (6-9, 5.66), who is coming off a win against the Giants on August 8, after coming off the disabled list, where he went only five innings, giving up an earned run on one hit and walking three, in the Dodgers' 6-2 win. He hopes to get his second straight win after coming off the dl which hoping the Phillies' bat will continue being inconsistent.
With the lost, the Phillies' lead over the Met shranked to one game, as they defeated the Nationals, and to one and a half games over the Marlins as they beat the Cardinals. The Phillies' lead over the Braves is presently at eight and a half thanks to a rain out, but they are now playing a day/night doubleheader with the Cubs and are presently trailing them in the first game, 4-0 in the top of the fourth. The Phillies hope to come back from their second straight defeat to the Dodgers and try to salvage a series' split while hoping that their opponents will not get any closer.

Critics see lack of info at Vermont Yankee meeting
MONTPELIER (AP) - Critics of the Vermont Yankee nuclear plant say the federal Nuclear Regulatory Commission provided insufficient information at a recent public meeting on the plant's 2013 performance.
"We feel the public was shortchanged by NRC's shifting the emphasis of the meeting to general information on decommissioning at the expense of focused discussion about significant deficiencies in management and operations at Entergy Vermont Yankee," said Clay Turnbull, a trustee and spokesman with the nuclear watchdog group New England Coalition.
Vermont Yankee's owners, subsidiaries of New Orleans-based Entergy Corp., announced last August that the plant would shut down permanently in late 2014, so much public attention has turned to decommissioning, or dismantling the reactor and restoring the site in Vernon, where the plant has operated since 1972.
Diane Screnci, a spokeswoman for the NRC's Northeast regional office, attended Wednesday's meeting in Brattleboro. She said the agency's presentation was designed to provide information the public wanted to hear.
"I think our opening remarks did cover both topics," she said, referring to decommissioning and the plant's 2013 performance. "Once we started taking questions, we did answer what was asked."
But she acknowledged that the presentation didn't cover all the findings from last year.
An inspection report for the third quarter of last year, from July to September, found several issues that the NRC labeled of "very low safety significance" but "more than minor."
Incidents included a diesel generator being run at about 130 percent of its rated load and workers being exposed to about twice the expected dose of radiation during one procedure.
In the radiation incident, the NRC said, "Inadequate work planning and control resulted in unplanned, unintended collective exposure due to conditions that were reasonably within Entergy's ability to control."
Turnbull, who attended the meeting, said in an email, "Nowhere in print, on a screen or verbally did NRC present the ten violations of 2013 to the public. The violations repeatedly point to management making poor decisions, poor project planning, and cutting costs at the expense of safety."
Vermont Yankee spokesman Robert Williams said the company didn't want to comment on the NEC concerns.
All the incidents listed were rated green, the lowest level on an NRC matrix rating problems of any significance. A green rating, unlike the higher levels, doesn't prompt stepped-up NRC inspections, Screnci said.
For a nuclear plant, though, Screnci said: "You'd want no inspection findings, none of any color."

A year ago at this time, Robert Griffin III was coming off his Baylor team's first loss of the season—a 36-35 heartbreaker at Kansas State. But the Bears' 3-1 record wasn't much of a downer in terms of RG3's rising fame and the Heisman chatter that was beginning to surround him.
Statistically, RG3 was already blowing everyone's mind, passing for 327 yards per game with 18 touchdowns—only two fewer than his total of 20 incompletions—and one measly interception.
In other words, he was setting the table for Geno Smith's 2012 campagn. Smith is so far out in front of the statistical derby, it's silly. But he isn't the only player on a winning team whose Heisman potential is driven by eye-popping numbers. Here are the five best season stat lines for players on teams that are meeting or exceeding expectations:
PHOTOS: Looking back on Saturday's action
1. Geno Smith, QB, West Virginia
Only a team collapse, a huge drop in individual performance or—hate to even say the word—an injury could derail him now. In other words, there's a lot that could still go wrong for Smith. But right now, the senior is miles in front of the competition. If he beats Texas this Saturday in Austin and puts up strong numbers, he'll be as solid an October favorite as there's been in many years. The Longhorns are explosive on defense, though.
Season stats: 141-of-169 (83.4 percent) for 1,728 yards (432 per game), 20 TDs, 0 INTs; 208.4 pass efficiency rating; 99 yards, 1 TD rushing.
Next game: at Texas on Oct. 6.
MATT HAYES: Enjoy Smith's run now, it won't last
2. Braxton Miller, QB, Ohio State
The numbers aren't quite amazing—115.4 yards per game on the ground is close—but they sure stand for a lot taken in the context of the Buckeyes' 5-0 start. Without sophomore Miller, this team might have three or four losses already. There isn't a more valuable player in college football.
Season stats: 76-of-121 (62.8 percent) for 933 yards (186.6 per game), 8 TDs, 3 INTs; 144.4 pass efficiency rating; 577 yards, 7 TDs rushing.
Next game: vs. Nebraska on Oct. 6.
TOP 25 RECAP: Alabama, Oregon take care of business
3. Johnny Manziel, QB, Texas A&M
He's only a freshman, which means he'd have a hard time securing the Heisman even if the Aggies did something crazy like beating Alabama and LSU and winning the SEC. But Manziel's team is 3-1—its only loss coming by a field goal in the opener vs. Florida—and his play has been almost flawless. He's the best freshman in the country thus far.
Season stats: 87-of-124 (70.2 percent) for 1,094 yards (273.5 per game), 10 TDs, 0 INTs; 170.9 pass efficiency rating; 366 yards, 6 TDs rushing.
Next game: at Mississippi on Oct. 6.
SN EXPERTS: Expect shakeup next week in Top 25
4. Stedman Bailey, WR, West Virginia
It's hard to even mention Bailey's name without bringing up not only his quarterback but also fellow Mountaineers pass-catcher and playmaker Tavon Austin. Bailey has fewer catches than Austin but more yards and touchdowns. No other receiving duo comes close to this one's productivity and explosiveness, which doesn't mean Bailey has a realistic shot at the Heisman. He probably has no chance to win it. The WVU votes will go overwhelmingly to Smith.
Season stats: 41 catches for 653 yards (158.8 per game) and 10 TDs.
Next game: at Texas on Oct. 6.
RECORD DAY: West Virginia-Baylor offensive outburst
5. Terrance Williams, WR, Baylor
This might be the guy we'd all pick first out on the proverbial sandlot. If you watched that classic vs. West Virginia on Saturday, you might've come away more impressed by Williams than you were by Smith or Bailey. The senior's 19.6 yards per catch is pretty unreal. It's hard to believe he was "held" to 957 yards and 11 TDs in 2011 while Kendall Wright had the starring role for Baylor.
Season stats: 34 catches for 667 yards (166.8 per game) and 6 TDs.
Next game: vs. Wisconsin on Sept. 29.
AP TOP 25: Alabama still the 1

In just over a month I will be in Chicago with my mother. We've met in Chicago before for shopping trips.
(You thought I meant clothing shopping trips, but I mean gluten-free shopping trips, of course.)
But this time we won't have to traipse around Chicago and all of its suburbs to experience all that's new in the gluten-free world. All of the gluten-free goodness will be located in one place. The Gluten & Allergen Free Expo!
I first got to know Jen Cafferty, the originator and director of GFAF, through her blog called Gluten Free Life with Jen. Her site is packed with resources and recipes galore. But when I had questions about which track to sign up for at the Expo, my mom suggested that I call or email Jen.
WHAT? Call or email a celebrity? (Just look at her bio and you'll understand my fandom.)
Mom had met Jen at last year's Expo and assured me that she was "down to earth" and would be happy to help. I was amazed that one of my favorite bloggers had time to manage such a huge event as well as answer my silly questions about the Expo via email! Not only did she answer my questions, but she answered them within the hour. With that kind of attention to detail, I know this is going to be an amazing event.
Another one of my favorite bloggers, Shirley of Gluten Free Easily, will be a presenter at the Expo! (One of my questions to Jen actually had to do with Shirley. Help! I have to meet Shirley! If I sign up for the "Beyond Basics" Track, how am I going to meet Shirley who's teaching in the "Essentials" Track? Poor Jen.) This morning I awoke to Shirley's tantalizing post about all of the gluten-free goodness that we will be experiencing at GFAF. And now I just can't stop thinking about it! Please read her post for all of the delicious details. I've almost committed it to memory!
For three whole days, April 29-May 1, Mom and I will be taking cooking classes, sampling products, eating delicious gluten-free meals, and buying the newest cookbooks from our favorite authors…I said FROM them, not from Amazon. (I'm swooning!) AND we've signed up for a special bread baking session on Friday with Carol Fenster, author of numerous gluten free cooking and baking books. You all know how I desperately need to learn about the nuances of gluten-free bread making. I think this three-hour class just might be the perfect cure for my Ooey Gooey Zucchini Bread.
And my Christmas Strawberry Bread woes.
If you remember, I finally did get it right, but I may never know why. Guess and check is such a frustrating experience for a busy girl!
Carol, please fix me!
This year Nashville's Country Music Marathon and Half Marathon is the same weekend as The Gluten & Allergen Free Expo. I haven't missed this race once since my first year as a runner. So, I'm a little sad not to be a part of the event this year. Okay, I'm not just a little sad. It's killing me! I've been especially jealous as the weather has warmed and I've watched the streets of our city become more congested with runners. This event is a big deal in our city.
But meeting my favorite gluten-free bloggers and authors, learning more about gluten-free products, fine-tuning my gluten-free cooking techniques, and spending a weekend with Mom doing something we both love will be worth missing the race. And I promise, I'll share everything I learn right here at Gluten-Free Cat.
So, will I see you at The Expo? What goodness are you hoping to experience there?

I am very new to programming and am currently taking a c++ class.
I am a little confused as to what the parameters and return are.
I am currently working on how to use functions outside of "main" and as well as outside of the file.
So here it goes..
Does anyone know what I am doing wrong?Code:int myFunction(int whoAmI_1, int whoAmI_2) //Am I declaring these //now? So they didnt //exist till now? { int whoAmI_1 = 2; int whoAmI_2 = 3; int sendBack; inMain += wh0AmI_1; //how do I use this "inMain" from another //function sendBack = whoAmI_1 + whoAmI_2; return sendBack; //I know I am sending "sendBack" to the function it was called //from right? If this is so than what are the parameters for at the //top? Are those vars I am getting from another function? // Also what if I want to send all of the variables back to main for //further computation? can I return a few vars? } int main() { int inMain=4; cout << myFunction(); //This should print out 5 because //"myFunction" returned "sendBack" which //is 4 right? //What about the parameters I put in when I //created the function? do i need those here? return 0; }

Where do you want to go today?
Sounds like the first thing to be switched off if I were ever to buy one. A bit like the growing collection of crap I have to switch off every time I reinstall Windows.
Toyota USA has announced a bundle of new electronics for the Lexus and other Toyota models, including the ability for the company to send you voice mail based on your location and interests: no subscription required. The new package is designed to compete with GM's OnStar service, with much of the same functionality. Both …
Sounds like the first thing to be switched off if I were ever to buy one. A bit like the growing collection of crap I have to switch off every time I reinstall Windows.
After screaming "SHUT THE FUCK UP!!" a few times at it, I think attention in the form of some wire snippers may be required. Or remove the optical storage banks while in zero G. "Daisy, Daisy, give me your answer do."
They'll sell you a subscription service to not send you these voicemails. Now that's the money maker!
You know, adding a simple "ON-OFF" to the feature and a short menu of topics (like "restaurants", "gas stations", "malls", "car features", etc.) would turn this from a useful but intrusive feature into a "must have". My cell phone comes with a navigation feature that lets me find "things" based on location: I find this to be the second most useful application on the phone (after voice calls, ahead of SMS).
This could be a win-win for Toyota: the revenue stream from providing product placement for advertisers could be enhanced by improved targeting (you get to charge a whole lot more for adverts that actually generate a sale than the usual AM radio kind of "spam") and you convert an (annoyed) customer into a sales force with the "Hey, Bubba, watch this!" effect.
Someday someone will figure out this simple formula to use location-based services effectively. Until then we'll have to put up with sorting one more set of voice mails each morning before we have had our coffee...
"You seem to have parked on the Golden Gate Bridge, a well known suicide hotspot. Would you like me to connect a funeral director to arrange a pick up?"
"Your lease payment is due. Would you like directions to the bank"
"Your lease payment is overdue. Please wait for our collection agent at your location"
"Your lease payment is way overdue, executing self destruct sequence"
The list goes on...
if it just reported if you had an accident when you may not be able to but the sales stuff needs to go
Shame we don't a similar telematics system in the UK.
God help us if they see fit to break in over the in-car CD player with these 'service announcements' - I can see myself going back to the bicycle in *very* short order....and getting run down by someone rushing to the 50% sale on at PC World they've just heard about.
Bad idea - but be honest: you could see it coming...couldn't you?
Does it also come with the ability to listen in to conversations in the car as OnStar is reputed to do?
"You seem to be having an accident - shall I direct you to your nearest BUPA hospital?"
Its only Toyotas - who cares what they do to Toyotas
I bought a Toyota and raised hell when they tried to get me to sign a waiver to allow them to sell my personal information to "third parties." Eventually they agreed to let that slip, but then when I tried to register to view the loan details online, one of the terms of service was that they'd be allowed to sell my online habits as well.
I shudder at the thought of the spam I'd be getting from my damn car.

Sony C650X Odin could be known as the Xperia X
0. phoneArena posted on 27 Dec 2012, 09:33
You know, there's always been something special about the letter X. It often gets attached to exciting, mysterious, awesome things, and this case might be no exception. That's because the long-rumored Sony C650X smartphone, also known by its codename "Odin", might hit the shelves as the Xperia X...

I really wish that Sony could make it back in the to as big as the Nokia Lumia 920. I really miss this brand since Apple and Samsung eclipsed it.

I just wonder what the camera is like, and even more importantly, the battery capacity. So far I think the perfect package is that OPPO 5 phone.

10. Insignificant (Posts: 192; Member since: 22 Sep 2012)
Sony will have a new compression for the camera, the exmor RS camera with HDR (not just a software thing in this case), waterproof (Yuga), IR-blaster (odin), very slim (Yuga), 2400mAh+ battery (in the Yuga - possibly up to 2800mAh), PS suite, BE2, and it looks amazing physically. Quad S4 but with Sony optimisations (Sony are the best at making the most out of hardware, look at the S and T/Tx/V for examples).
SIV sounds dangerous to it? Well, I can't even imagine the 2H flagship. That will just annihilate the competition.
14. gmacattacks (Posts: 24; Member since: 07 Sep 2012)
Google X and Xperia X?
15. MauriceGerald (Posts: 18; Member since: 09 Dec 2012)

If you still don't know what to make for your Cinco de Mayo bash, we've got you covered. Sure, the margaritas are a given, but since you'll need something to soak up the libations, these surprise piñata cookies are guaranteed to please.
The piñata sugar cookies are frosted together in sets of threes. The middle sugar cookie has a hollow center that you can fill with a secret candy "prize" — we suggest mini M&Ms. Just like a real piñata, candy will come pouring out when guests take their first bite of the piñata cookies. These creative treats will get the party started without having to use a blindfold or a stick. Olé!
These piñata sugar cookies are perfect for Cinco de Mayo and Mexican fiestas.
Break open or bite into the cookie to get the candy prize inside.
Find a plastic container similar in size to your donkey/burro piñata cookie cutter.
You will need a few colors of food coloring, including black. Gel food coloring works best for intense colors.
Split dough into five, even-sized balls and one smaller ball (the black). Add food coloring to each.
Split colored dough balls in half (except the black) and begin layering in the container. Start with black and alternate.
Immediately after removing from the oven, use your burro cookie cutter to cut the cookie shapes.
Make sure you line up the bottom of the cookie cutter with the black dough layer to get "hooves."
Cut off the ears and legs and cut out the center where the M&Ms will go. (We used a small, square cutter.)
Let the cookies cool slightly (not completely!) before you move them and remove the excess, outer cookie.
Make simple frosting to use as glue (try 1/2 cup of powdered sugar and 2 teaspoons of milk).
Locate the candy you want to include in the middle of your piñata cookies, like mini M&Ms.
Outline the center of the piñata body with frosting -- try using a Ziploc bag with one corner cut off to make it easy.
Place the opposite-cut piñata cookie on top (pretty side facing out). Let sit and harden for at least 30 minutes.
Bueno trabajo! Pat yourself on the back for a job well done.
Everyone can't wait to get to the candy prize inside.

Kelly Clarkson Denies Pregnancy Rumors
When Kelly Clarkson called off her big wedding celebration with Brandon Blackstock, a ton of rumors sparked: Were they splitting up? Is she pregnant?
The answer to both questions: No and no!
The 'Stronger' singer tweeted her denial, and when you consider how down to earth she is every day, it makes perfect sense:
FYI ….Brandon & I are getting married & no I am not pregnant. We are eloping for one reason only. We both want an intimate ceremony.
— Kelly Clarkson (@kelly_clarkson) August 23, 2013
When she announced she and Blackstock were calling off their huge party, she explained, "Our whole life is a celebration. That's what we kept laughing about. We don't need another day where we throw a big party. Our lives are so in the spotlight all the time." She added, "Everything is such a spectacle, we were like, 'We would rather have an intimate moment that's special.'"
We don't blame her. The singer has also expressed her love for being a stepmom, but that doesn't mean she's in a rush to be a birth mom, too!

Currently she is a meeting leader for Weight Watchers. In May she will be among the WV Storytellers Guild members performing at the Children's Tent during the Vandalia Gathering in Charleston.
This article is based on a talk Judi gave at the Marshall County Historical Society [WV] on January 17, 2011.
(continued from yesterday…)
This was Mrs. Roosevelt's first direct contact with the Quakers' work, which she found impressive in its intent. She especially admired Clarence Pickett. Mrs. Roosevelt wrote that she liked the idea of trying to put people to work to help themselves. She visited a chair factory in the Scotts Run area where the displaced miners were being taught new skills.
This was just one of many trips for her into the mining areas, but it started the homestead idea. Mrs. Roosevelt cited West Virginia University's work with the Quakers to help the miners through the Quaker agricultural project of subsistence gardening. The WVU committee became the nucleus, along with WVU's Bushrod Grimes, for the Federal Resettlement Administration. Presidential advisor Louis Howe formed an advisory committee made up of Mrs. Roosevelt, Pickett and several others to plan the homestead projects. She acknowledged the idea was experimental, but it was intended to get people off relief, to put them to work building their own homes and give them enough land to start growing food.
Mrs. Roosevelt said only a few of the resettlement projects were a success but she felt the good they had done was immeasurable. "Conditions were so nearly the kinds that breed revolution that the men and women needed to be made to feel their government's interest and concern," she wrote.
She cited the conditions along Scott's Run, near Morgantown, and a village named Jere. The coal mines along the run were owned by out of state interests, with money largely flowing out of the state. Living conditions were primitive, with raw sewage running from the hillside homes to the run, where a community spigot supplied the only water. Each spring and fall there were outbreaks of typhoid fever that in some cases were fatal. The coal companies sent in doctors only after there had been several deaths.
The property that became Arthurdale was the antithesis of Scotts Run: a 1,200 acre farm purchased from Richard Arthur under the new Stranded Mining and Industrial Population Section of the Department of the Interior. The residents – known as "stranded" — were selected from the unemployed miners from Scotts Run.
There were several attempts to develop jobs in Arthurdale. One such effort in 1934 was the allocation by the Public Works Administration of $525,000 to the U.S. Post Office for a factory to make post office furniture and mailboxes. The congressmen and other interests from furniture-producing states attacked this plan as a step toward socialism that would destroy capitalism. The Indiana congressman whose district included the Keyless Lock Company (which made post office boxes and equipment) was able to block the appropriation.
In October 1935 the homesteaders chartered the Arthurdale Association, a branch of the Mountaineer Craftsman Coop Association that was operating in Scotts Run. The group took out loans and built a store, farm, inn, barbershop, industrial factory, dairy, and poultry operation. All the operations lost money, apparently due to poor management and planning. However, the projects did provide jobs.
The factory went through several alliterations: the Electric Vacuum Cleaner Company, the Phillip-Jones Shirt Company, the American Cooperative Tractor Factory and Brunswick Radio and TV Company.
The failures drew critical attention. Wesley Stout of the Saturday Evening Post wrote a scathing piece focusing on perceived monetary waste. The Gary, IN school superintendent alleged that there was a New Deal conspiracy to subvert the economy of Morgantown. He charged that the resettled miners wouldn't be paying rent and taxes. Mrs. Roosevelt pointed out that few, if any, of the unemployed miners had paid rent or taxes for years.
Most of the community buildings still stand in Arthurdale as part of the New Deal Homestead Museum. In 1984 Arthurdale celebrated its 50th anniversary by establishing Arthurdale Heritage, Inc., which has as its mission preservation of the historic community that continues as a viable part of West Virginia.
The 50th anniversary observation reminded my Dad of his Arthurdale experience. Goldenseal, the magazine produced by the West Virginia Division of Culture and History, devoted an issue to this event. The cover featured a photograph taken of Mrs. Roosevelt at Arthurdale, talking with an unidentified man.
But there was another man in the photo – a figure in a suit and stylish hat, holding a Speed Graphic in his left hand and a photographic film plate in his right. He's watching Mrs. Roosevelt and is turned slightly away from the camera in not quite a profile. The photographer had caught the most important moment at Arthurdale, at least for my family.

FREDERICK, Md. (AP) -- Frederick County authorities say two big, red dogs are suspected of killing nine goats, 12 rabbits and several chickens in a series of attacks on farms near Frederick.
Animal Control Director Harold Domer said Tuesday that officers are seeking information about the dogs and their owner.
He says four separate attacks have been reported near the intersection of Old Annapolis Road and Green Valley Road, about six miles east of Frederick.
Domer says the first attack was on April 27. The latest was on Monday.
He says the dogs are dark red with medium-length hair. The dogs are believed to weigh 55 to 75 pounds each

MANITOU SPRINGS, Colo.—A major highway near Manitou Springs is back open after a large rockslide.
The Colorado Department of Transportation says crews worked through the night to remove nearly a dozen rocks off Colorado Highway 24. Some of the rocks that fell Tuesday were as big as a car.
According to KKTV-TV ( http://tinyurl.com/chwqvg9), no one was injured.
Crews pushed the rocks off the road and plan to bring in a machine Wednesday to blast the rocks into smaller pieces for easier removal.

I have been meaning to roll some fixes and enhancements into Jellybean [wgz.org] lately...
That looks very interesting, indeed.
And even if you should not be able to put some more features in it, it looks like a very good starting point.
You described exactly the problem it is intended to solve, so why not?
Ok, we _will_ use it.
The problem is the customer is a german publicly owned company. For any bigger project, they have to collect offers and then choose the "best" one, based 80-90% on the price
At least they think Java is an island in the pacific.

Latest SAS, Teradata Analytic Hero: David Schmitt, IHG
InterContinental Hotels Group analysts now spend less time gathering data and more on value-driving analytics for faster insights and peak performance
SAS and Teradata (NYSE: TDC) introduce the latest member of the League of Analytic Heroes: David Schmitt, under the superheroic persona of "Exploris," is Director of Interactive Marketing Operations and Analytics at IHG (InterContinental Hotels Group). Schmitt joins the award-winning community of database specialists and data scientists immortalized for implementing superior analytic database solutions from business analytics leader SAS and Teradata, the data solutions leader focused on big data analytics and data warehousing.
Schmitt, aka Exploris, led an analytics program helping IHG global sales and marketing teams continue to drive more revenue. IHG, one of the world's largest hotel companies, had been manually analyzing the revenue performance of its seven hotel brands - including InterContinental Hotels & Resorts, Hotel Indigo, Crowne Plaza Hotels & Resorts, Holiday Inn Hotels and Resorts, Holiday Inn Express, Staybridge Suites and Candlewood Suites – with up to 30 metrics and 50 associated variables. Analysts were spending 80 percent of their efforts assembling data and 20 percent doing analytics.
IHG has already developed strong analytical capabilities for its channels that attract guests to hotels. Channels include Priority Club Rewards (to be renamed IHG Rewards Club effective July 1, 2013), the industry's first, largest and fastest growing guest loyalty program with 71 million members; guest marketing; call center optimization; and revenue management. Schmitt was tasked with finding an integrated view that would better inform IHG about how it could continue to generate more revenue. His group needed to quickly integrate huge volumes of data from disparate sources and analyze numerous variables to achieve deeper insights.
Schmitt's heroic team burst the bonds of limited desktop productivity tools, converting IHG's analytic operations to enterprise-level force. Now, it can integrate multiple existing data sources with sophisticated new ones, resulting in a data set with more than 5,000 variables. Today, IHG analysts spend less time gathering data and more on value-driving analytics, like predictive modeling, for faster insights and enhanced performance.
IHG has also improved its data-driven culture. The centralized data set provides a common fact base for analysis across multiple teams. Together, analysts from key stakeholder teams use analytics to evaluate performance by reviewing the corporate scorecard, identifying new hypotheses and developing new strategies.
Schmitt rounds out the SAS and Teradata Analytic Heroes squad, joining heroes Rick Andrews (Illumino) of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), Cardinal Health Analytics Director Lisa Conley (Predicta), Medibank's Frank Caputo (Megavox) and eBay's John Scheibmeir (MagnaComm).
Launched in March 2012, the SAS and Teradata talent search for Analytic Heroes has celebrated the best-of-the-best analytics specialists, teams and companies – masters at integrating analytic solutions from SAS and Teradata to produce stellar insights and extraordinary business value.
The League's leader, Dr. Insight – aka Bill Franks, Teradata Chief Analytics Officer – says, "The Analytic Heroes program from SAS and Teradata has successfully identified a core group of innovative data analysts who are helping their organizations economically – cutting costs, detecting fraud, fighting crime and even protecting lives. They also identify revenue-raising opportunities. We know of many others who are likewise taking the analysis of detailed data to epic levels. Protecting individuals from things like credit card or insurance fraud, or the ability to identify medical risks is invaluable. Analytic heroes make that possible every day."

sixnationsrugby.com > Écosse
Conversions: Bailon 8
With four teams on two wins heading into the final weekend, France needed a big win to give themselves the best possible chance of a runners-up finishing, and they started quickly with tries from Elodie Guiglion, Billes and then a penalty try giving them a 21-0 lead after just 15 minutes, Aurélie Bailon converting all three.
Centre Sandrine Agricole then ran in a fourth French try before Billes crossed again out wide just before the break.
There was still time for Safi N'Diaye to go over on the stroke of half-time as France led 40-0 at the break.
It didn't take long for les Bleues to strike again, Billes completing her treble in the first minute of the second half, and when Agricole got her second France had hit 50 points.
Full-back Jessy Trémoulière then went over for the first of two tries, before powerful prop Christelle Chobet crashed over for the tenth French score with half an hour remaining.
Trémoulière then went over for her second before Guiglion finished off what she had started with the final try of the game.
The win means that realistically France will finish second unless England women win by more than 36 points away in Wales on Sunday.

Ribs hurting, Ellsbury heading to Boston
By Chris Cox / MLB.com
Ellsbury, who missed 95 games earlier this season after spending two stints on the disabled list with fractured left ribs, left Friday's game against the Rangers after the fourth inning with pain in his left side."Unfortunately, he managed to fall right on the same spot," manager Terry Francona said. "We're going to send him out in the morning. ... It's very concerning. The exam [trainer] Mike [Reinold] gave him is very concerning. We'll get him looked at as quickly as we can so we can try to make a decision to move forward."
Eric Patterson replaced Ellsbury, who was 0-for-3 with a run scored at the time.Ellsbury took a hard fall during his leadoff at-bat of the game when he tumbled to the ground after crossing first base. He dribbled a soft grounder to Hunter, who raced to the bag for the out. Ellbury reached in the fourth inning on second baseman Andres Blanco's fielding error before coming around to score in Boston's seven-run inning.
"They got tangled up and when he fell, he got his arm caught under him," Francona said. "It was the same exact spot. So he's pretty sore. We'll see."
Pedroia to begin rehab assignment Saturday
ARLINGTON -- Red Sox second baseman Dustin Pedroia has been cleared to begin his two-day rehab assignment with Triple-A Pawtucket.
Pedroia met with foot specialist Dr. George Theodore on Friday in Boston and got the news he needed.
"He got the go-ahead from the medical people. The doctors looked at him," manager Terry Francona said. "He's going to play second base [Saturday], play [designated hitter] Sunday, take Monday off because we have an off-day and hopefully join us on Tuesday."
The PawSox play the Buffalo Bisons on Saturday at 6:05 p.m. ET and Sunday at 1:05 p.m. at McCoy Stadium.
Pedroia originally went on the disabled list June 26 with a non-displaced fracture of the navicular bone in his left foot in a 5-4 loss to the Giants the day before. Now it appears that he'll finally be able to rejoin the Red Sox.
"Needless to say he was very excited," Francona said. "I got a text from him that said, 'I'm back.'"
Pedroia, who hasn't suffered any setbacks this week while running, is hitting .370 with 12 home runs and 41 RBIs in 295 at-bats this season for the Red Sox.
Saltalamacchia reunites with former club
ARLINGTON -- With the Red Sox in Texas for a three-game series with the Rangers, catcher Jarrod Saltalamacchia was given the opportunity to reunite with the club that traded him two weeks ago.
The Red Sox acquired Saltalamacchia at the July 31 Trade Deadline from the Rangers for Minor Leaguers Roman Mendez and Chris McGuiness along with a player to be named later and cash.
Two weeks later, Saltalamacchia is already in the Major Leagues and in the ballpark where he played for the last four seasons.
"I'm excited to be back to see the guys again," Saltalamacchia said. "All in all, I'm just excited to be back up in the big leagues and getting a chance to play."
Saltalamacchia came to Texas by way of a trade with the Atlanta Braves when the Rangers sent Mark Teixeira to the Braves in exchange for Saltalamacchia and four others, including shortstop Elvis Andrus and closer Neftali Feliz.
Saltalamacchia provided the game-winning hit in the Rangers' Opening Day win over the Blue Jays but was placed on the disabled list two days later and never played for the club again.
"I didn't expect it this soon. But like I said, there's no bad blood there," Saltalamacchia said. "I spoke with [general manager Jon Daniels] and [assistant GM] Thad [Levine] ... today. I hope to see the guys and say hi to them. I think this is a great fit for me. It's a great opportunity for me. No hard feelings. I'm in a great place."
Added Rangers manager Ron Washington: "Salty still has ability at the big league level. They've been hurting in the catching department at the big league level and they feel like they have a quality guy. So they brought him up. It's not surprising. They have been after him for a while. I'm very happy for him and his family."
Saltalamacchia hit .243 with 19 home runs and 82 RBIs for the Rangers. In two games with the Red Sox, he's 2-for-4 with two doubles and a run scored.
"I think it was just one of those things where I just didn't do it. Plain as day," Saltalamacchia said of his time in Texas. "I got some opportunities and I didn't run with it. It can go either way, but I'm looking to run with it here.
"I think they felt the same way I did. Change of scenery. They put me in a great place. They could have put me anywhere and they put me here. Boston has wanted me for a few years. I think they did me a favor putting me here."
Francona not concerned about Texas heat
ARLINGTON -- Manager Terry Francona isn't concerned about the hot temperatures the club will face in its three-game series with the Rangers.
Temperatures in Arlington are expected to be over 100 degrees each day during the set with highs near 105 degrees for the 3:05 p.m. ET finale on Sunday.
"We actually talked about it a little on the plane," Francona said. "We don't want it to become an excuse. That's silly. It's great baseball weather. As the same time, we're not in it every day."
Francona insisted that the club's approach won't change despite the warm weather.
"The relievers will go out and do their routine, sit out there for a little bit and come in," Francona said. "The position players come in anyway.
"Do you know what you're going to see? You're going to see more balls during batting practice sitting in the outfield a little longer -- because we'll have a few less bodies."
Catcher Jarrod Saltalamacchia, who was with the Rangers before being traded to the Red Sox at the Trade Deadline, wasn't concerned about the heat either.
"There were a couple of questions about the heat here," Saltalamacchia said. "I think it's one of those things where if you play here all the time you get used to it. Teams from the West Coast come over here and it's a little tough. But I think we'll be OK."
Worth noting
The Red Sox have multihomers in each of their last three games with eight overall during that span. They've gone deep in 10 of the last 11 games overall. ... The Red Sox have won four of the last five season sets against the Rangers since 2005 and eight of 10 season series since '00. Despite that, Boston has lost five of six and six of eight at the Ballpark in Arlington.

In 1895 William G. Morgan, a Springfield College graduate, and then physical director of the Holyoke YMCA, originated the sport which he called "Minonette". The game was used to supplement the only indoor game then known, basketball. Once the game was moved to outdoor courts it increased in popularity throughout New England and later throughout the world. It is one game that any person, regardless of age, sex, race, physical ability, social or economic status, can paly. Volleyball is played by millions of people in more than 60 nations, and is the major sport in 25 countries. It has become the third ranking recreational sport in the world. Recently Springfield College played host to the International Volleyball Tournament with entries coming from all parts of the United States, Mexico and other neighboring countries. More than 10,000 spectators saw the four-day tourney which ended with a banquet at which time the prizes were awarded.

Sarah, question
Did you see the old tv show as a child, were you familiar with the show as reruns, or was this new to you completely?
These seem fair questions to judge your opinion for others.

Hi Resident. Yes, I saw the shows. What did you think of the movie? I found the slapstick so stupid and offensive, and aside from a few good jokes and the music, I thought the movie was boring.

I haven't seen the movie and don't really have any intention of seeing it. I do remember watching the tv shows as a kid and the little I remember seemed funny to me at the time, but I could hardly say I remember more than just a little of it.
But, my teenage kids have seen it and both thought it was funny but not hilarious. I think the younger they are the more they might like it, but from what they also said, I think it is not too appropriate for younger teens. So I am not sure who the target audience is. Those that are young enough to find the humor and slapstick really funny are not old enough for some of the other stuff. They should have made the humor more sophisticated if they wanted to appeal to an older audience, or taken out some of the innuendoes if they wanted to appeal to the tweenies (or that the tweenies would be allowed go by parents.)

I watched it last night, and I enjoyed it. Apparently the theater audience did as well, because everyone cracked up at the jokes.
Hrm, what sort of expectation did you have prior to watching it?
It's probably a movie meant more for watching when it comes out on DVD as one of those lesser summer flicks.
Still, it made my night, and I'm sorry it didn't impress you.
This time we're not lying. HONEST! No, really!

Social media hysteria
Peter Funt
During a trip to Washington, D.C., last month, Lindsey Stone posed for a snapshot while making crude gestures. She posted it on Facebook, and soon her life turned upside down.
The incident -- and to even call it that is part of the story -- serves to underscore the power of social media. Moreover, it exposes the extent to which mainstream media have become obsessed with whatever is echoing online.
Stone, 30, and a co-worker visited Arlington National Cemetery, where they noticed a small sign near the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier advising "Silence and Respect." As Stone had done earlier on the trip when she posed with a cigarette in front of a No Smoking sign, she mocked the cemetery advisory by opening her mouth as if yelling and raised her middle finger to convey disrespect. The behavior was juvenile, and posting the photo on Facebook was offensive, but what happened next was unexpected.
Protests about the snapshot erupted online, followed by a Facebook page devoted to getting Stone fired from her job at an assisted living facility in Massachusetts. Her employer responded by suspending Stone and her friend without pay. The Internet went into overdrive. Finally, WRC-TV in Washington reported the story, after which NBC's "Today" show devoted an entire segment to vilifying the two women.
Immediately following the network report the "Fire Lindsey Stone" site tripled its "likes." Hours later, Stone's boss made her dismissal permanent, despite her apology about the photo.
Stone wrote on Facebook that she "meant no disrespect to people that serve or have served our country," explaining that she was "challenging authority in general."
Perhaps she's naive as well as impudent. But even in an era marked by intemperate social and political debate, the content on the "Fire Lindsey Stone" website is chilling. In addition to calling the woman every vile name possible, posters had published her phone number and address, along with those of her employer.
NBC's decision to run the story, especially the way it did, is even more troubling -- the media equivalent of throwing gasoline on a fire. "It's sad," "it's horrible," "what's happening to this world?" said the three anonymous people "Today" chose to broadcast. They weren't talking about the Internet or media; they were referring to Stone's offending photo. There was also the VFW member "Today" found in Hyannis, Mass., offering the comment, "Pretty disrespectful and stupid."
NBC's Natalie Morales concluded her report by predicting, "I think she's not going to be having a job after this." Is Morales siding with the Facebook mob that believes Stone deserved to be fired? The four "Today" hosts discussing the story seemed only to be concerned with the photo, not the violation of the woman's right to free speech, or the slander being heaped upon her online.
"Today" and its network counterparts report daily on what's "trending" in social media. Cable channels, too, are quick to run photos from Twitter -- such as those during Hurricane Sandy -- without checking their authenticity. These channels also run Tweets and Internet postings at the bottom of the screen, without knowledge of who the sender might be.
The result of all this is that mainstream media are gradually becoming tools of social media.
Lindsey Stone shouldn't have lost her job. Nor should she be subjected to the barrage of hate that has erupted over her warped idea of what's funny, and her misguided decision to post a photo of it online.
For their part, "Today" and other mass media must reassess the difference between shedding light and lighting a fire.

Next time you're heading through Gatwick Airport, look out for a new installation called The London Collection, created by the godfather of British pop art, Sir Peter Blake.
The London Collection is a a walk-through gallery of 12 different London-inspired artworks that captures the city's cosmopolitan and multicultural spirit. With hints of Blake's trademark sentimentality and nostalgia, these artworks both welcome visitors to London, and provide a comforting cultural backdrop to Londoners returning home.

As part of the Government's implementation of the recommendations of the Ryan Report, a Committee was appointed by the Minister for Education & Skills to oversee the design and commissioning of a memorial for survivors of Institutional Abuse.
Following the consultative process, a competition is being organised and administered on behalf of the Committee by the Commissioners of Public Works. The competition is open to individuals and consortia and to professional and non-professional applicants.
Stage 1 of the competition, seeking expressions of interest, has been launched. The closing date for receipt of expressions of interest is Thursday, 13 October 2011. A short-list of no more than ten applicants will be selected to go forward to Stage 2, which will require those short-listed to submit detailed and specific proposals for each stage of the design, planning and realisation of the memorial.
A document outlining details of the competition, including selection criteria, indicative dates, and competition jury membership is available on the Department of Education & Skills web-site www.education.ie and www.publicart.ie
A budget of up to €500,000 is being set aside for the project which will be managed by the OPW.

"There's a great need for improvements," Superintendent Jerry Owens said. "The middle school was built in the 1950s. Right now, students have to go outside, cross a school road and walk about 400 yards for P.E. class. They have to walk outside about 200 yards to get to the cafeteria, even in bad weather. It's a safety issue."
The Dover Middle School Renovation Project includes renovations of 10 classrooms and construction of 28 classrooms, a state-of-the-art media center, physical education center, computer labs and a Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA)-approved safe room.
"The middle school doesn't currently have a tornado shelter," Owens said. "The FEMA-approved safe room would be rated for an F4 tornado with winds of up to 250 miles per hour. If we have a tornado alarm now, the students just get under their desks with their hands covering their heads."
He said the benefits of the renovation project go beyond safety.
"It is critical to have good facilities in order to be competitive in the age of school choice," Owens said. "We have to stay progressive and offer kids the best possible education we can give them. To do that, we need quality educators. New facilities tend to attract quality teachers and coaches."
Owens said if the millage passes, construction would likely begin in the spring of 2014 and be complete by Aug. 1, 2015.
"The goal would be to have the new facility complete before the start of the 2015 school year," he said.
Early voting began Tuesday and continues until Sept. 16 at Pope County Election Headquarters in Russellville. Polls will be open weekdays from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
Polls will be open on Election Day, Sept. 17, from 7:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. at the Dover First Baptist Church.

Golden Doorknob Awards

The four 10-year old boys thought it was safe. Tie one end of a string around your buddy's tooth, tie the other end around a door knob, slam the door, and collect big-time from the Tooth Fairy. But oops, that slamming door yanked out more than their friend's tooth. The plot thickened, and for the first time in 18 years, student filmmakers in the Park School...
