Acta among Astros' managerial hopefuls
Former Nats skipper spent 16 years in Houston organization
By Brian McTaggart / MLB.com
"It is a very special organization to me," Acta wrote. "I spent 16 years of my baseball career over there. I owe them for shaping me into the baseball man that I'm today."
Acta, 40, spent six years as a player and 10 years a coach and manager in the Houston system, leading the 1999 Kissimmee Cobras to the Gulf Coast League title. He managed the Washington Nationals for two-plus seasons and had a 132-198 career record before being dismissed earlier this season.
Acta was signed by the Astros at age 17 as a first baseman and reached Double-A but never played in the Majors.
Astros general manager Ed Wade and his baseball operations staff will begin interviewing candidates for the manager job on Wednesday. The Astros have about 10 names on their initial list of candidates, with interim manager Dave Clark the only candidate the club has disclosed to the public.
Wade said Thursday that Clark would probably be the first to interview in what will likely be multiple interviews next week. After each candidate goes through the interview, he will sit down and meet with the media.
"We made contact with quite a few of the prospective candidates and set interview times up for them," Wade said. "This is a very attractive opportunity, and everyone I talked to today was very excited and pleased."

Hochevar again chosen by Dodgers
Top draft pick was a Los Angeles selection three years ago
By Ken Gurnick / MLB.com
LOS ANGELES -- Unable to sign talented right-handed pitcher Luke Hochevar out of high school three years ago, the Dodgers will try again. Scouting director Logan White selected Hochevar with his top pick Tuesday in the supplemental round of the First-Year Player Draft, the 40th overall pick. Hochevar, represented by Scott Boras, was ranked as the sixth best prospect in the draft by Baseball America, but fell out of the first round because of signability concerns. Although the Dodgers did not have a first-round pick this year, they believe they drafted a first-round talent. "It's like stock-market theory," said White. "You maximize your choices, whether that means taking an Andy LaRoche in the 39th round or a Hochevar with the 40th pick. This wasn't expected, but we were prepared for it and I'm ecstatic." The 40th overall pick in last year's draft was University of Texas right-handed pitcher Huston Street, taken by the Oakland A's, signed to an $800,000 bonus and already making an impact in Oakland's bullpen. Hochevar is far from the prototype "Moneyball" bargain selection from general manager Paul DePodesta's days with the A's. He figures to cost significantly more than Street, and the Dodgers apparently are prepared to pay him like the first-round pick they really didn't have. "The McCourts [Dodgers owners Frank and Jamie McCourt] have been great with that," said White. "We took him with the intention of signing him. I talked to Scott a couple days ago. I feel he's signable. He wants to play. As long as the family thinks we're fair, I think the kid will sign." The winter signings of Boras clients J.D. Drew and Derek Lowe indicate the club is not reluctant to negotiate with the agent, although he also represented Adrian Beltre, whose departure as a free agent actually led to this selection.
The Dodgers' first-round pick (No. 26 overall) went to the Boston Red Sox as compensation for signing Lowe. But for losing Beltre to Seattle, the Dodgers received the 40th overall pick in the supplemental round and the Mariners' second-round pick (No. 53), because a team drafting in the top half of the draft cannot lose its first-round pick. And the Dodgers retained their second-round pick (No. 76).
Hochevar is 6-foot-4, 198 pounds, and was 12-2 with a 1.81 ERA at the University of Tennessee. White selected him in the 39th round in 2002 out of Fowler (Colo.) High School, was unable to sign him and predicted at the time Hochevar would be a first-round pick three years later. He had a college scholarship as leverage the first time, but now has only one year of college eligibility remaining.
"He's improved a lot since high school," said White. "I won't put a label on when he'll arrive. We have a lot of pitchers in our system and it's not our plan to rush him. He has a power arm, a sinker and slider and big-time makeup."
Luke Hochevar
Position: RHP B/T: R/R
Born: 1983-09-15 Class: 4YR
Scouting report:
Body similar to Kevin Brown. Heavy sinking FB w/ arm side run, disappears from strike zone. Hard 11-5 CB. Tight, sharp, late-breaking slider w/ some downward tilt. Good arm speed on sinking changeup. Smart, wants the ball, goes after hitters.

The public session will be at the Election Commission Headquarters, 1509 E. Main St., Suite 7.
The 2010 census results showed Pope County's population at 61,754, up from the 2000 census number of 54,469, allowing for 13 justice of the peace districts, with each district comprised of about 4,750 residents. Approved criteria used by the Pope County Election Commission for the justice of the peace redistricting was the same criteria used by the Arkansas Board of Apportionment.
The criteria include compliance with the 14th Amendment and Voting Rights Act. The commission is also expected to form geographically contiguous and compact districts, to keep cities within the districts intact as much as possible, to avoid the splitting of precincts as much as possible to maintain communities of interest intact within districts as much as possible and to maintain cores of existing districts as much as possible.
The final approved maps of the Senate and House of Representatives districts will be overlaid to the Pope County map to compare district lines.

K.A.C.C. Military Fuels is a military aviation fuel depot in the northern part of Las Venturas, San Andreas.
Carl Johnson stole a Leviathan from the depot as part of the plan for the Caligula's Casino heist in the mission Up, Up and Away. The depot is inaccessible to civilians, but the K.A.C.C will open its gates for the Patriot, Rhino and Barracks OL. The player can also use a jetpack or any aircraft to fly over the fence or climb over it with aid of a high vehicle, such as the Packer.
There is nobody inside the base, but the player may rarely receive one wanted star if they jump over the gate. To get out of the depot, the player can use the Cargobob or any car from the parking lot inside (the gates will open from within). The name may be a pun on the word "kack", which essentially means "crap". The logo features a curved line that resembles a person's buttocks, or a 'smell cloud', lending credence to the 'crap theory'. K.A.C.C. is a sponsor for the Las Venturas Bandits baseball team, their advertisements can be seen on Las Venturas Bandits Stadium.
- Flamethrower under ladder to helipad.
- Tear Gas on backyard near containers.
- Cargobob on helipad.
- One Horseshoe north of deposit.
- The name of the fuel depot may be a reference to the computer club where soon-to-be members of DMA Design (now Rockstar North) used to go to. It was called KACC, which stood for 'Kingsway Amateur Computer Club.'
- KACC is a Zulu word for faeces.
- K.A.C.C could be a reference to rockstar's adult humor as it sounds like "cock" slang for male genitals.

Data released Friday by the Arkansas Department of Workforce Services also shows the state posted an increase of 1,700 employed people, the first gain in that category since April 2012.
The agency says the increase coupled with a slight decline in unemployment was enough to move the rate from 7.2 percent to 7.1 percent for the month.
The national jobless rate for April was 7.5 percent, also reflecting a drop of one-tenth of a percentage point.
Sectors posting the biggest employment gains in Arkansas in April included leisure and hospitality, retail, and trade transportation and utilities.

Chiefs break ranks on drugs
THE AFL's two most experienced club bosses have broken ranks with the majority and confessed they would feel uncomfortable in learning the identity of two-strike drug offenders within their clubs.
West Coast boss Trevor Nisbett and Geelong's Brian Cook have told the AFL they do not believe club chief executives should necessarily be informed if their players were drug offenders. Nisbett is understood to have told last week's gathering of CEOs he would rather not be given details of his two-strike players.
''Telling us is not going to solve the issue,'' said Nisbett, whose club was forced to rebuild its off-field culture after the Ben Cousins era at West Coast. ''If I'm told, I do have a duty to tell my board as I am a member of that board and this issue is far better handled with confidentiality.
''I'd want someone far more qualified than me to handle the situation because I believe firmly this remains a medical and educational issue. People say, 'We've got to punish these guys'. Well let's all go down to the pub tomorrow night and arrest 40 people.''
While most club chiefs have pushed to be the first point of contact after a second illicit drug strike, Cook backed Nisbett's belief that each club would be better to nominate a more qualified official.
''After two strikes I agree the club should know, but unless there is a player blatantly flaunting his drug use and thumbing his nose at the system, then I'm not sure I'm the person to handle the issue,'' Cook said. ''Players should perhaps nominate a welfare officer or the football manager. It may or may not stand up legally, but it could work.''
Collingwood is one of two AFL clubs to have been placed on red alert by the AFL and warned that several players on its list have positive drug strikes or have self-reported illegal drug use - a loophole certain to be removed this season.
Collingwood chiefs Eddie McGuire and Gary Pert reportedly publicly warned their players late last year of dire consequences should they continue to indulge in illegal drugs.
Pert is one member of the newly formed working party looking at a number of reforms after having alerted the competition to his fears - fears that several clubs believe remain largely, although not exclusively, a Collingwood problem.
With AFL boss Andrew Demetriou predicting more positive test results from the 2012 season - most clubs believe the increase could amount to four times as many players testing positive to illicit substances compared with the previous year - last week's summit also showed strong support for club profiling to start from 2013.
The profiling would see every club given details of its proven drug offenders at the end of each season. While no names would be revealed, a club such as Collingwood would be told how many players had tested positive, how many two-strike players were at the club and how many players had recorded positive hair tests over the holiday period. The move was cautiously supported by the AFL's doctors and the league executive and was not ruled out by the players themselves.
Nisbett has counselled Pert on illicit drugs among senior players - an issue that led to his club being investigated by the AFL and a West Australian government commission.
While most club CEOs have continued to push to learn the identity of their two-strike players, some have received assurance from their boards that those identities need not be revealed to club directors.

Molina day to day after being hit by a pitch
By John Jackson / Special to MLB.com
CHICAGO -- Rays catcher Jose Molina had to leave in the fourth inning of Saturday night's 10-4 win against the Chicago White Sox after being hit by a pitch just above the right knee. He is listed as day to day with a right quad contusion.
After being hit by Sox reliever Hector Santiago, Molina immediately went down and stayed on the ground for a couple of minutes as he was attended to by trainer Ron Porterfield. At that point, Molina got up and walked to first base. It appeared he was going to stay in the game, but then he headed to the dugout and was replaced by backup catcher Jose Lobaton.
"I think he's fine," manager Joe Maddon said. "It got him somewhere around the knee. Ronnie told me it was not bone, just a muscle area, so he's probably gonna be stiff and sore [on Sunday]. I don't know what his availability will be [Sunday], but nothing horrible."
With a day game after a night game, Molina wasn't scheduled to be in the lineup on Sunday anyway.
Maddon confident Price will turn things around
CHICAGO -- As the calendar nears May, David Price, last year's American League Cy Young Award winner, is winless with a 5.52 ERA, and the Rays have dropped each of his first five starts.
But manager Joe Maddon said on Saturday that he's not concerned about his ace or the frustration he's shown so far.
"[It's] a little more than normal, but he's gotten over it and gets back to being himself," Maddon said of Price's frustration following his starts. "I know that he holds some very high standards for himself. I know, and I feel very comfortable saying, he's going to be good record-wise by the end of the season. The numbers are gonna be there.
"It's been a very disappointing start, but he's been able to shake off disappointment and come back and support the rest of the group."
Price gets his final chance to register a win in April on Sunday when he faces the Chicago White Sox in the finale of the four-game series at U.S. Cellular Field.
Maddon has said repeatedly that he's not concerned about Price, and side-stepped the question of when he might become concerned.
"The concern would be based on him not throwing the ball like he can; if there was an injury," Maddon said. "That would be my concern. But a guy that young, that athletic, that good, in good health, you know that it's gonna come back to him."
Escobar day to day with tight hamstring
CHICAGO -- Rays shortstop Yunel Escobar remains day to day with right hamstring tightness.
"He's doing better," Rays manager Joe Maddon said. "He's still not ready to go, he's not ready to go out there yet, but he's doing much better. It's kind of going away little by little. I don't want to press it right now and have any kind of setback. It's getting better, but it's not time to push it."
A premature return from even a minor hamstring injury can result in a worse injury and a prolonged absence, so the Rays are likely to play it safe -- especially for a player like Escobar, who relies on speed. Because the Rays have an off-day on Monday, they might hold Escobar out until Tuesday when they open a series at Kansas City.
"There's a shot that it may turn out that way," Maddon said.
Worth noting
Designated hitter Luke Scott, who is on a rehab assignment with Class A Charlotte while recovering from a strained right calf, was OK after being removed from the game following getting hit on the elbow on Friday night. Scott was back in the lineup Saturday night.

The Richardson Health Department has postponed tonight's planned mosquito spraying due to poor weather conditions. The Richardson Health Department had planned to ground spray three separate areas beginning this evening in order to help prevent the spread of the West Nile virus, but wind gusts up to 15 miles an hour will prevent the proper application of the insecticide.
Weather permitting, ground spraying will now occur on Monday and Tuesday, April 15 and 16. See below for schedule and map of spraying locations.
The decision to spray comes after City Health Department workers were notified last week that four traps located in the three subject locations returned mosquitoes that tested positive for carrying the West Nile virus.
Richardson began its West Nile virus monitoring program this month, which is the earliest it has ever begun testing for signs of the virus. Typically, the City begins its monitoring program in May, but the Richardson City Council approved increased surveillance this year due to the heightened incidence of West Nile virus cases experienced in the Metroplex in 2012.
Richardson is working in conjunction with other cities and health agencies in the Metroplex to mitigate the spread of West Nile virus. Additional measures being taken in Richardson include:
Spraying Locations
Weather permitting, spraying will occur according to the following schedule:
Monday, April 15 and Tuesday, April 16*
Location 1**
W. Campbell Rd. south to W. Arapaho Rd.; Coit Rd. east to Central Expressway (US75).
Location 2**
E. Lookout Dr. south to Apollo Rd.; Plano Rd. east to Jupiter Rd.
Location 3**
President George Bush Turnpike east to Breckinridge Park, and between the northern and southern borders of the city.
*As part of plans to increase in the response to incidents of finding the West Nile virus in people and mosquito traps, targeted neighborhoods are sprayed twice.
**Spraying events begin at 9 p.m. and will end by 4 a.m.
If wind speeds of greater than 10 miles per hour are sustained, if it is raining, or if temperatures are forecast to drop below 50 degrees Fahrenheit, then Health Department staff may postpone spraying until weather conditions are more favorable.
How Spraying Locations Are Chosen
The Richardson Health Department schedules mosquito spraying based on positive findings of West Nile virus in mosquito traps placed around the city or if a human case is confirmed. Once located, the area around the positive finding is targeted for spraying in an attempt to help limit the spread of the disease. In an effort to decrease the incidents of finding the West Nile virus in people and mosquito traps, targeted neighborhoods are being sprayed twice as part of a comprehensive plan implemented in early 2013 to help deter the spread of the disease. However, spraying is only a measure to help limit exposure, and health workers urge people to maintain vigilance in protecting themselves when going outside.
When Spraying Occurs
Richardson schedules spraying events during overnight hours to limit exposure to people who may wish to avoid contact with the pesticide used to control mosquito populations. Spraying events begin at 9 p.m. and will end by 4 a.m. In order to minimize human exposure, the Health Department typically does not schedule spraying events on Friday or Saturday; however, an increase in findings of West Nile virus may cause the Richardson Health Department to spray on weekends as needed.
Spraying Is One Part Of The Protection Plan
Spraying to control the population of mosquitoes and the spread of the West Nile virus is a last resort, and is part of a comprehensive plan the Richardson Health Department follows to control the mosquito population. Other activities include: continuous monitoring of mosquito test pool results, implementation of a residential pool abatement program to reduce areas where mosquitoes can breed, surveillance and treatment of storm drains, use of larvicide and mosquito eating fish along creeks and other stagnant bodies of water to prevent mosquito eggs from developing into adults, monitoring and notification in neighborhoods where potential mosquito breeding areas are discovered, closer collaboration with regional health departments, and public education efforts through mass communications channels.

How To Protect Yourself
To protect from mosquito bites, people are asked to follow the Four D's of protection:
More On The West Nile Virus
The West Nile virus is transmitted by a bite from an infected mosquito that's already carrying the virus, but not all mosquitoes are capable of carrying or transmitting the disease. In North Texas, the risk of being bitten by an infected mosquito is greatest from July to October. Not everyone who gets bitten by an infected mosquito will get the virus, and it's rare for people to become very sick if they do develop symptoms from the disease.
Symptoms of West Nile virus vary depending upon the person who becomes infected. People who do develop symptoms usually suffer from mild "flu-like" illness. Rarely, symptoms may require medical care or hospitalization. The people who are most susceptible to the disease are the very young, the very old and those with weakened immune systems.

USD Professor of Law Robert Fellmeth Quoted on Verdict of School Construction Proposition Law Suit
San Diego (November 15, 2013) – University of San Diego (USD) School of Law Price Professor of Public Interest Law Robert Fellmeth was quoted in a Voice of San Diego article that examines ramifications of a recent verdict of a multimillion-dollar lawsuit against the San Diego Unified School District for improperly using school bond money to construct stadium lights at a Hoover High School in Talmage and for thumbing its nose at a requirement to properly assess the lights' impact on the neighborhood.
The verdict may impact more than just football stadiums. It potentially opens the district to future lawsuits, and could ultimately change the game for how the district pitches bond sales to the public.
In 2000, California passed Proposition 39, legislation that lowered the bar for a school district to win bond money, from a two-thirds majority to a 55 percent majority. In exchange, Prop. 39 required that school districts hoping to sell bonds must formally assess their needs and then provide a list of projects they'll fund based on that report.
At issue is whether or not school districts are proposing projects, winning approval from the voters, and then altering the plans without further input from neighbors and voters. Some voters are skeptical of the practice.
School board member Scott Barnett said he understands why people might be angry at the school board for what they perceive as a "bait-and-switch," but said the projects they're choosing to tackle make good fiscal sense and save money in the long run.
According to USD's Professor Fellmeth, the district has a certain degree of flexibility as to how it spends money to complete projects, but it doesn't have discretion as to what it spends money on.
For example, if the district planned to spend money on 1,500 air-conditioning units, but a new type of technology comes out that revolutionizes the way we condition air, judges wouldn't begrudge the district for changing the details.
On the other hand, Fellmeth said, "If you say you're going to build a classroom, then you spend the money on a watchtower, you've got problems. That's why stadium lights are so important."
Thus, even if the district wasn't required to include the level of detail it sent out on the ballot, once it's been voted on, it becomes part of the district's stated intent. In short, legal questions are framed by what the district said they were going to do, and judges will hold them to that.
"It's not a blank check," Fellmeth said. "You can't say, 'We've already got the money, we can spend it how we want to now. That's not how it works."
If the district needs to change plans to a significant degree, "then it's time to float a new bond," Fellmeth said.
It's likely the situations will repeat themselves if the school board and voters don't find a clear way to handle the disagreements.

Despite a few nagging injuries to key players, slumping all-star caliber outfielders and uncertainty in the bullpen, the Atlanta Braves continue to find ways to win.
Atlanta is poised to run away with the National League East in the month of June after a 5-4 come from behind victory in extra innings over the Pittsburgh Pirates.
B.J Upton homered in the sixth inning to tie the game 4-4 and in the 10th Andrelton Simmons had the first walk-off hit of his career sending the Turner Field crowd and his Braves teammates into a frenzy.
Whether its Brian McCann, Upton, or more recently Simmons, the Braves have begun to put all the pieces together to create the formidable team everyone expected to see at the beginning of the season. This is what the National League East has feared since April, a healthy Atlanta Braves team clicking on all cylinders.
"I think this shows how dangerous our lineup can be when everyone is contributing," said Simmons, who is hitting for an average of .256 in the leadoff spot.
Braves' pariah B.J. Upton has transformed into a savor in recent games. Upton's game-tying two-run home run Tuesday night was his second home run in three days. Sunday night the Braves' outfielder also had a walk-off hit to win the game against the Washington Nationals.
"I still got to get better, I have to cut down on the strikeouts and I'm working on getting more quality [at bats]," said Upton.
Upton, Jason Heyward and Dan Uggla are all hitting below .200 but yesterday's game could be a sign of good things to come for the Braves. Heyward had his second consecutive multi-hit game and Uggla finished the night 2-for-3, drawing two base on balls including a walk in the 10th to set up Simmons' late inning heroics.
"We have guys that step up when they are called upon and everyone has been able to pick up the slack," Uggla said.
The Braves bullpen, who will miss Eric O'Flaherty and Jonny Venters for the year, pitched four scoreless innings, allowing the Atlanta hitters to break through against the Pirates, considered the second best bullpen in the major leagues.
The Braves bullpen leads the majors with a 2.61 ERA and have a three-way tie for fifth in saves (18).
"Our pitching staff has stepped up, they have done a great job of keeping us in ballgames throughout the season" said Uggla.
Atlanta has posted a 4-0 record in June and extended its N.L. East lead to seven games. Atlanta will face only two teams (the San Francisco Giants and Arizona Diamondbacks) with a record over .500 in the month, which could put the Nationals even further behind the streaking Braves.
"We won't know who the better team is until it's all over, right now we are just trying to win games and play well as a team," Uggla said.

Think back to Minato vs. Obito/Tobi when Minato catches the kunai in mid air before destroying Obito with a rasengan.
I was just imagining how he could use that to travel in a speedy fashion.:faust: If he had 2 kunai marked w/ the seal of the FTG technique, couldn't he throw one, teleport to it, catch, throw the 2nd one, teleport to it, repeat? I mean, come on. That would be awesome, right? "Flying" Thunder God.... I can only imagine. :confused:
What do you think?

I recently used this page to assemble cards for a baby shower. I purchased 3 of these pages, (3 girls needed a card), and I formed the base of the card from the Sweet Sentiments paper line from Graphic 45.
Once again, the "cut a parts" from pages like this one, coupled with a paper line that is interchangeable with almost all of their paper pads, allowed me to assemble really beautiful, simply crafted cards. Thanks Graphic 45!

BERLIN- After briefly relinquishing the lead in the driver's standings in the live meet at Ocean Downs this summer, local driver Raymond "Shorty" Robinson, Jr. posted three wins last Saturday to nudge back into the top of the standings.
Robinson got off to a fast start when the live meet at Ocean Downs opened and June, jumping out to a big early lead in the driver's standings. Robinson posted multiple wins in six straight racing nights to start the season and had 14 wins after the first week of live racing at the historic track just south of Ocean Pines.
Robinson did cool off somewhat over the last several weeks but continued to pad his win total with steady performances night after night. His lead was first challenged by last year's driver of the year Tony Morgan but continued to maintain his lead in the standings.
However, driver Frank Milby has come on strong in the last few weeks and briefly overtook Robinson at the top of the standings. After the close of racing on July 19, Milby had 18 wins at Ocean Downs, which left him eight behind Robinson on the leader board, but since then he has gone on a hot streak the likes of which are rarely seen at Ocean Downs or anywhere on the harness racing circuit.
Milby won 14 races over three nights at Ocean Downs last week including one stretch when he won 12 of 15 starts. "I've been hot before, but not quite like this," said Milby after his incredible run.
The outburst of wins briefly put Milby on top of the driver's standings at Ocean Downs. His four wins last Thursday nudged him ahead of Robinson, 31-30, going into last weekend's action, but the veteran local driver Robinson had a few tricks up his sleeve. Robinson posted a driving triple on Saturday night to go back in front of Milby, 33-31, and joked after the race about retaking the lead.
"That's because Milby wasn't there tonight," he said. "That's the only reason."
Robinson and Milby have been friends for a long time and they appear to be feeding off each other's success thus far in the 2007 live meet at Ocean Downs.
"We learn from each other," said Robinson. "He's driving really well, making some very smart moves. I think we both drive very smart on the racetrack and that helps out a lot."
Robinson's first win last Saturday gave him his 31st of the year at Ocean Downs and came behind seven-year-old Waseem, a horse which he is very familiar with. His wife Carolyn Robinson trains the horse and he has raced him several times.
"He's always raced good here at Ocean Downs and I credit my wife and kids," he said. They take good care of him."
Robinson collected his second win of the night, and his 32nd of the live meet, behind three-year-old filly Super Snappy, which built a big lead and hung on to win by a neck. He completed his driving triple behind Perfect Cam to collect his 33rd win of the season and vault back into the lead in the driver's standings.
Live racing at Ocean Downs in heading into the backstretch for the 2007 summer live meet, which will conclude on August 25. Live racing his held four nights a week, Wednesday and Thursday, and Saturday and Sunday, with post time each night at 7:35 p.m. As always, parking and admission are free. Call the track at (410) 641-0600.

Sportacular Warmups
(Books 1 - 4)Carolyn Miller - Willis Music Company
Sportacular Warmups combines sports and music into progressive finger "workouts." Each book contains material designed to strengthen the fingers, increase flexibility, and help the student master the many technical skills needed to perform. Students can relate the musical exercise to a similar activity in the five sport areas: basketball (i.e. fouls and overtime), baseball (i.e. slow curve), track and field (i.e. hurdles), extreme adventure sports (i.e. skateboarding), and soccer (i.e. charging and head ball). Each section ends with a solo made up of exercises from that section, making for an excellent review. The series progresses from the early elementary level (Book 1) to the intermediate level (Book 4).

Give it up for my main man Andy Milluzzi who, with some help from John Hansen, created the world's first NXT-G block that leverages the NXT's RS485 communication abilities! Well done.
What does that mean? Well now you can connect two bricks, back-to-back with a cable connected between their S4 ports and communicate at a blinding 921600 bps! That's quite a bit faster than regular Bluetooth and without the overhead of those mailboxes.
This opens up a whole new world of possible sensors! One of them being the new Dexter Industries NXTBees. How cool is that?
You can download the block from here: [LINK]. You will need at least version 1.05 of the LEGO NXT firmware to use this.

China National Petroleum Corp. (CNPC) has signed a cooperation framework agreement with Shenergy Group and Yangkou Port Co. Ltd. to build the Rudong-Haimen-Chongming natural gas pipeline. The 89.5-km pipeline will deliver 2.4 billion cu m/year from Jiangsu province to Chongming Island in Shanghai.
The line will serve as the third major source of gas for Shanghai after the first and second West-East Gas Pipelines. It will also transport regasified LNG from terminals at Rudong when needed.
PetroChina commissioned its 3.5-million tonne/year Rudong terminal in 2011, beginning with a cargo in May from QatarGas and completing the process in November. PetroChina's first LNG terminal in China, Rudong is expected to be supplied mainly from Australia's Gorgon project, scheduled to start producing in 2014 (OGJ, Apr. 2, 2012, p. XX).
CNPC, Shenergy, and Yangkou Port will jointly build and operate the pipeline and expect it to enter service in 2014.

I think the Raps actually have a chance today. Did anyone notice the Celtics get completely dismantled by Charlotte last night? Losing to the Bobcats is bad enough, but they lost by 26. I mean come on. I understand they rested Pierce but the talent level of the Boston team is still way higher than that of the shitty Bobcats. They have to be coming into this game somewhat discouraged.
Coach Casey informs media Rudy Gay will play tonight at Boston. Sat out Sunday's game w/ back stiffness. #Raptors #Celtics.— RaptorsMR (@RaptorsMR) March 13, 2013
Rudy's playing.
Jonas keeps getting lost in PnR coverages
JV little bit confused today
Ross attacking the rim!
Only if he would do that more often
Nice ovation for Garnett. Videoboard showing that he passed Jerry West in all-time points.
Raps need starters back in.. this could get ugly quick
Amir needs to get us a bucket right there
These refs are beyond ridiculous
Lowry just got a tech. CAn't blame him, he tries the same thing as Bradley and gets the foul call. Classic Boston game right here
EDIT: Tech on Telfair
I hate the Boston commentators to the bone they are soooo idiotic!!! UGH!
Jonas not playing well at all. And wow i can't believe I can still be bewildered by the shittiest officiating of any sport despite how often it happens.
I've decided to take the unusual step of turning the game off before I break something as opposed to after
Man, we suck.
I dont create controversies. Theyre there long before I open my mouth. I just bring them to your attention.

The Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra will offer $5-a-month memberships that allow members to attend as many concerts as they want starting this fall.
MPR News reporter Euan Kerr brought us the story this morning, but he told me it's one of a series of stories he plans to produce that speak to a larger issue in the arts world: some organizations are undergoing major changes in how they collect ticket money because of how patrons plan now plan their evenings. Arts consumers are much more spontaneous in planning, which makes it hard to abide by the more traditional model of subscribing to a season and picking out shows to attend months in advance.

Does anyone else here ride with an Arai Vector version 1 Phil Read Helmet? I've been riding with this helmet for a couple years and love the design b/c it's more than a single color but not too drastic. It's easily the best helmet I've worn.
I've recently found out that there is a new version for the Arai Vector 2 that should be out early next year.
The only thing I'm not 100% on is the British flag on the front of the helmet (opinions welcome). On my current helmet I put an American flag over the British one but I'm having second thoughts about whether that really matters or not. Phil Read was a British rider.

Obie-Winner Roberta Maxwell to Join Soho Rep's UNCLE VANYA, 7/25
Soho Rep, in association with John Adrian Selzer, is pleased to announce that OBIE Award-winner Roberta Maxwell will join the cast of Chekhov's Uncle Vanya on Wednesday, July 25, replacing Rebecca Schull as Maria.
In the Annie Baker version of the Chekhov play, directed by Sam Gold, Maxwell will assume the role of Vanya's mother and the professor's first wife. Her part in this world premiere follows her performances in films such as Brokeback Mountain and Dead Man Walking as well as career of Theater Productions, including originating the role of Jill Mason in the debut of Peter Schaffer's Equus, in 1974. Rebecca Schull will play her final performance as Maria, mother of Vanya and the professor's first wife, on Sunday, July 22, at which point she will have occupied the role for the entirety of the initially announced run and the first extension. She must leave to attend to previously made commitments.
The July 25 – August 26 period in which Maxwell performs is the second extension of the tremendously acclaimed production. The initial six weeks and first extension have sold out.
Chekhov's Uncle Vanya reunites Baker and Gold, whose previous collaborations include The Aliens and Circle Mirror Transformation.
The cast also features Peter Friedman (Circle Mirror Transformation and After the Revolution at Playwrights Horizons, Twelve Angry Men on Broadway, Tony Award nomination for Ragtime) as Serebryakov, a retired professor; Maria Dizzia (Tony Award nominee for In the Next Room…, Eurydice at Second Stage; Film: Martha Marcy May Marlene) as Yelena, his wife; Merritt Wever (The Illusion at The Signature Theatre, Touch(ed) at Williamstown Theatre Festival; TV: Nurse Jackie) as Sonya, his daughter from his first marriage; Roberta Maxwell (Our Town, Equus and Othello on Broadway; Film: Dead Man Walking, Brokeback Mountain, Philadelphia) as Maria, mother of the professor's first wife and Vanya; Michael Shannon (Bug, Our Town and Mistakes Were Made at Barrow Street; Film: Academy Award nominee for Revolutionary Road, Take Shelter, TV: Boardwalk Empire) as Astrov, a doctor; Matthew Maher (Orange, Hat & Grace and LEAR at Soho Rep, A Doll's House at Williamstown Theatre Festival; Film: It's Kind of a Funny Story)as Telegin, an impoverished landowner; Paul Thureen (Buddy Cop 2 and Cape Disappointment with The Debate Society) as Yefim, a hired man/night watchman; and Georgia Engel (TV: The Mary Tyler Moore Show; Middletown at the Vineyard, The Drowsy Chaperone on Broadway) as Marina, an old nanny.
The production features set design by Andrew Lieberman, costume design by Baker, lighting design by Mark Barton, sound design by Matt Tierney and fight direction by Thomas Schall. For her version of the play, Baker worked off a literal translation by Margarita Shalina, trying to unearth the grammar and colloquialisms omitted in existing English translations.
*Please note: There will be no performance on Friday, July 27. There is an added matinee performance on Sunday, July 29 at 3:00 P.M. On Sunday, August 12, Soho Rep will host an additional and final 99¢ Sunday for Uncle Vanya.
Through its FEED program, which offers post-performance events aimed at enriching the audience's experience of the work on stage, Soho Rep is offering the "Chekhov and Me" series, in which, after the show, a luminary from theater or the humanities reflects on the writer's work and legacy.

Taking Bored Out of Board Meetings
4 comments post a comment
A group of outsiders, often with limited experience in the targeted market segment, spend 4 hours a month thinking about your company and then tell you, the CEO, who is dedicated 24/7 to the enterprise, what you're doing wrong. How can that be boring?
In my last blog, A Startup Needs a Good Board of Directors, I covered the importance of putting together a board of directors, especially at the startup phase. OK. The board's in place. Now what?
I can't stress enough the importance of regular and consistent communication throughout an organization. It's an even greater imperative that a company's CEO effectively communicate with investors and members of the board of directors. Naturally, the main interaction between the CEO/founders and the board is during the board meeting, though it should not be limited to just board meetings. As I've mentioned before, no surprises should be announced at a board meeting.
Before we go too much further, a first-time CEO may wonder about the number of board meetings per year, their duration, and other forms of board etiquette. Certainly, the number can vary and will range from monthly to quarterly, depending on the company's situation. A good rule of thumb is six to eight per year. Meetings typically last between two and three hours.Open and shut
Board meetings are typically split into two sessions. They start with an open session attended by the board of directors and the company's executive staff. During this first part, the executives will provide updates, and the team will discuss strategic issues. This is followed by a closed session attended by the directors only and typically including the CEO. At this point, the performance of the executive team and select issues (mergers and acquisitions, for example) are covered. Optionally, the outside directors, not employees of the company, might ask the inside directors who are company employees to leave for a separate discussion. When the company grows and the board expands accordingly, committees will be formed that meet separately, but this falls beyond the realm of our startup focus. Compensation and audit committees are the most common.
Organizing an effective board meeting can take practice and a fair amount of savvy. I have attended many as CEO, board member, observer, usually representing a minority investor, and investor, and can offer a few recommendations based on my observations to ensure they don't become bored meetings.
As CEO, being prepared for the board meeting is rule No. 1. This means that board materials should be informative and substantive. They should be ready and reach board members at least a couple of days before the meeting to give directors time to prepare, a necessary courtesy, given the busy schedule of most board directors.
One important benefit of prior preparation is that status updates can be kept to a minimum and the discussion can focus on strategies where board members can offer the most help. Frankly, wearing my outside board member hat, these discussions are more interesting. No one wants to rehash the CEO's tactical decisions unless there is a perceived problem. In general, meetings that are heavy on updates feel like a waste of time. I found it useful to choose a topic for a deep dive brainstorming session during each board meeting.
The CEO must take a leadership role in the board meeting, even if he or she is not the chairman. After all, it's his or her company. If board members dictate the discussion, the CEO and the company are in trouble. This starts with the CEO setting a clear agenda with meaningful objectives. When the CEO is not the chairman, it is important that the CEO and chairman communicate extensively before the board meeting about the agenda and objectives.
The CEO is expected to be leader and should act accordingly. When debating an issue, for example, he or she should offer specific solutions and options. These options will focus the discussion and may trigger a better alternative.
It's wise to remember that outside board members are not focused 24/7 on the company, which is why starting with a short refresher on the corporate strategy is useful. Because legal teams recommend that board minutes be kept to a minimum these days, the minutes review does not help set the context.
Board members should recognize the successes of the team and provide appropriate encouragement. However, the reality of board meetings is much different. CEOs can expect tough discussions that leave bruises that take getting used to. A group of outsiders, often with limited experience in the targeted market segment, spending four hours a month thinking about the company, are telling the CEO, who is dedicated 24/7 to the startup, what he or she is doing wrong.
However, experienced board members understand they are most useful when they bring a different perspective and force the CEO and the management team to think differently or unconventionally. The CEO needs to bring an open mind and quickly evaluate the new ideas.
Be a good host
Today, even startup companies are distributed around the world, so it is common for board members to hail from distant places. Hence, board members usually arrive the night before the meeting, and unseasoned CEOs wonder if they are required to host a dinner for them.
Pre-meeting dinners are a conundrum because they can be viewed as an informal part of a board meeting or as a social events. As discussed above, the CEO has to be prepared for a tough meeting, which makes the appropriate approach to these dinners even more elusive.
Here are three suggestions. First, dinners after the board meeting work better because the tough part of the discussion should be out of the way, implying that the board begins in the late afternoon. The second option is to set a specific discussion topic for the dinner to keep the interaction focused and avoid preempting the board discussions. The final option is to stay home and enjoy family time.
While transparency is important for healthy relationships among the CEO, the board of directors, and investors, the CEO must never forget to be a professional. While the relationship between both can be friendly and cordial, the board is the CEO's boss with hiring and firing authority. Board members should never be treated as a best friend or the next door neighbor.

The medical team was in a race
Against some resistant bacteria;
A colony found a young boy's face
To treat as their own cafeteria
The miracle team investigates
Against some religious criteria;
The "promoter of justice" tries their fates
As they battle with strep or listeria
The desperate parents said their prayers
As conditions grew frankly horrific
They pleaded for help from the man upstairs
Whose germs were a bit too prolific
Operations and antibiotics combined
Broad-spectrum, as well as specific
Saved young Jake's life, although we'll find
The church is more unscientific
The search for answers sometimes leads
To a cultural bit of division:
A difference that comes from their separate needs
May find science and church in collision
A team of priests has been working for years
As a bishop provides supervision
And if adequate evidence really appears
Well… they won't let that stop their decision
I'm actually glad I didn't read the byline of this NPR story today; knowing it was Barbara Bradley Hagerty's contribution might have been enough to keep me away. (I'm ridiculously hard to bother, as even Mabus must have figured out by now, but BBH's voice makes me want to take a dremel drill to my inner ear.) But Jake FInkbonner, the kid at the center of the story, really seems like a good guy, and I am glad I got to hear about him.
Jake had a minor accident at the end of a basketball game, but the small cut on his lip turned nasty–necrotizing fasciitis nasty. This is the horrible "flesh-eating bacteria" that took Jim Henson from us, and it nearly took Jake. At Seattle Children's Hospital, doctors tried to stay a step ahead of the bacteria, literally carving away parts of Jake's face as they became infected.
Massive antibiotics and more than 20 surgeries later, Jake is lucky to be alive. So lucky, in fact, that some are calling it a miracle. And the Church is investigating. That, really, is the reason for the NPR story–a peek inside the Church's saint factory, to see the process of attaining sainthood, and the strict, skeptical procedure (you may feel free to roll your eyes here; I did) used to evaluate potential miracles, like Jake's. It is annoying, in the way that BBH usually is. To me, at least.
But there is good news. Jake turns out to be a really great kid. He may or may not believe it was a bona fide miracle–I certainly wouldn't blame him if he did–but on his home page, he ends his story thusly (comic sans in the original):
I am so thankful to the doctors at Children's Hospital in Seattle that saved my life.
Not everybody remembers to thank their doctors.
Take a look at his site–there are pics there, and you can see what a nightmare the poor kid made it through. More, you can see what kind of a person he is–the kind that is better than a certified miracle any day.

I try not to blog too much about la Suegra, porque bien sabes, the internet is a very small world. If my Suegra can run into random people in the United States that she used to know back in El Salvador, (which happens!), then a family member can easily find my blog and report back to Suegra like the little chismosos that they are. (Which is funny since they all talk behind her back and then pretend to be santos to her face.)
Well, sabes qué? Go ahead and tell then. Ya no me importa. I remember all the things you said about her, too – recuerdalo before you go tattling on me.
The truth is Suegra doesn't like me, and so I don't understand why I have to pretend to like her? I'm tired of the whole "respect your elders" thing. N'hombre. My respeto is EARNED with proper behavior, not given just because you've had more birthdays than me.
So go ahead, tell Suegra. Tell her I don't like her either. She already knows it. Tell her I don't respect her because she doesn't act right. And while you're at it, tell her that saying a little "gracias" once in awhile wouldn't kill her. How many evenings have I made dinner for this family? My husband and children thank me for the meal every single night. Suegra? She wipes her mouth and leaves the table without a word. In my mind I'm screaming, "De nada!" but she's completely oblivious to anyone's feelings but her own.
All she talks about is her suffering, and granted, she has had a difficult life – but what about my suffering? I didn't sign up for this. How did a "visit" turn into living with us on and off for a decade? Gone are my carefree years as a young wife and mother – almost every single one of those years was spent with her in the house causing drama.
Yes, tell Suegra – tell her everything. And tell her that when a man and woman's bedroom door is closed and they are both on the other side with Reggaeton music on, you don't stand at that door and call your son's name repeatedly until he answers you. HE'S BUSY!
And it isn't just privacy with my husband that I want. Rarely have I enjoyed time with my kids without her tagging along. If we so much as go for an ice cream without inviting her, all hell breaks loose. She cries and complains that we mistreat her, that she hates it here, that she wants to leave – but she never goes, at least not for very long.
Tell Suegra that I tried. For a good decade I TRIED, but sabes qué? I'm tired now.
Tell Suegra that I'm taking the kids for an ice cream today… and tell her she's not invited.

Emotional Indians bid Sabathia adieu
Tribe looking to move on without on- and off-field leader
By Anthony Castrovince / MLB.com
DETROIT -- The news, like the Indians' plane from Minneapolis to Cleveland, had yet to land. But it was coming. So manager Eric Wedge huddled up with staff ace CC Sabathia on Sunday evening and gave it to him straight. A trade sending Sabathia to the Brewers was in the works, so the flight back to Cleveland was his chance to say goodbye to his teammates. "I told him it was an honor to manage him," Wedge said. "And I thanked him for all he had done." It was an emotional goodbye on the tarmac when Sabathia left his Tribe teammates. But all involved knew such situations are part of baseball. And leave it to third baseman Casey Blake to show his funny side during Sabathia's farewell. "I told him, 'Nobody around here liked you anyway,'" Blake recalled with a smile. That's not true, of course. Sabathia was as popular as a player as can be -- not just for the incredible performances he gave the Indians on the mound over the last 7 1/2 seasons, but also for the indelible imprint he left in the clubhouse. "He was a good friend," Blake said. "He was a guy you just liked being around. You could never tell what was going on in his life, because he was always smiling and laughing." What the Indians are going through this season is no laughing matter, and Sabathia's departure is proof positive that the front office is not expecting to contend in 2008. The players knew this day was coming. Sabathia's fate was basically sealed when the Indians were swept by the first-place White Sox in Chicago last week. Still, this was a difficult pill to swallow. "It's going to be tough not to have his presence and what he was to this team," center fielder Grady Sizemore said. "But it's part of baseball. It's out of our control. We've got to move on." The Indians will move on with Cliff Lee now the de facto ace of the staff. And Lee admitted it will be tough not having Sabathia, a fellow southpaw, next to him in the clubhouse to lean on for advice. "The main thing I'm going to miss is being able to talk to him about how you pitch this guy, how do you pitch that guy and what you were thinking here or there," Lee said. "Just basic pitching strategies and stuff like that." With a makeshift lineup on the field, Sabathia gone and Victor Martinez on the disabled list, this is an Indians team lacking some of its leaders. And Sabathia's absence could be felt in the visitor's clubhouse at Comerica Park before the Indians' first game without him. "When you're 6-foot-7 and 300 pounds, you're going to have a presence," Lee said of Sabathia. "He wasn't a rah-rah guy, but when he spoke, people listened. The team's going to take on a different identity with him gone." Wedge hopes his players find some way to make the best of a bad situation. "Now that [the trade] is said and done, we can move forward," Wedge said. "Now we can get busy and take the next step as a ballclub." What is the next step? "A lot of it comes down to the expectation that these guys have for themselves," Wedge said. "I want it to be consistent with the expectations that I have for them. I want their confidence level that they show in themselves to be the confidence that I have in them. If you do that and exude that confidence and come to the ballpark with great expectations, you're going to be a better ballclub." But the Indians, who came into their two-game series with the Tigers in the midst of an eight-game losing streak, aren't there yet. Wedge admitted that the feel he gets from his players walking into the clubhouse is not the feel he wants or the feel he expects will be there by season's end. No, on Tuesday, the Indians looked more like a team missing a big competitor and a big friend.

Wu-Tang Clan's O.D.B.'s estate announces management deal with Four Screens Production.
Ol' Dirty Bastard's estate has signed a management deal with Four Screens Production, which is slated to manage the fallen rapper's image and intellectual estate moving forward.
"Ol Dirty Bastard is a legend and a Hip Hop icon," Four Screens' president Messiah Jacobs says in a press release discussing the management deal. "Although his life was cut short, there is still more work to do. His fans want to see more and hear more, and with Four Screens creative background, the Estate can give them just that."
Four Screens Production has also announced a reality television program starring Ol' Dirty Bastard's family.
In 2013, Four Screens Production helped Icelene Jones, Ol' Dirty Bastard's widow and the administrator of his estate, secure a deal with Rock the Bells for the hologram performance featuring Ol' Dirty Bastard's likeness and his son, Young Dirty Bastard. Their work together for Rock the Bells helped make their partnership official, according to a press release from Four Screens.
Since working with Messiah, the estate has really seen growth," Jones said in a press release. "Four Screens is a company that makes things happen. We wanted to create a reality show and we are doing it. We wanted to have an O.D.B. hologram at Rock the Bells and we did it. We wanted my son Young Dirty to perform there and he did. Messiah and his team make it happen and that is what this estate is about."
Nicole Beckett, Four Screens' Creative Director, also spoke about the potential of the Ol' Dirty Bastard deal.
We are always coming up with new ideas and projects concerning O.D.B.," Beckett says in the press release. "As a fan myself, I am constantly in search of the next great collaboration concerning this iconic rapper, whether it be a commercial for pistachios, a bio pic similar to VH1s TLC, a clothing line, skateboards, whatever O.D.B. was a talent and a character like we will never see again and his legacy will live on.

text: Bored last night, and inspired by someone else's recent efforts to do the same with Bruce Wayne, I combined all the faces of the doctors in a face-mergy thing to see what the 'essential' doctor might look like. Turns out, he looks kind of like Liam Neeson: I then roughly pasted the face on a a suitable head: And that was about it. Enjoy. If I get some more time/inclination I might try polishing it up a bit, altering the face to better represent the shape of the composite, but the image is so low quality it may not be worth really investing in it.
