Yahoo Integrates Twitter Into Search Results
Twitter and Yahoo have reached a deal to include Tweets in Yahoo search results and throughout various Yahoo properties, Twitter co-founder Biz Stone announced Tuesday.
"Similar to the partnerships we have made with other large Internet companies, Yahoo will receive what has been dubbed 'Firehose' a full feed of public tweets sent to Twitter and our partners every second of every day from all around the world," Stone wrote in a blog post.
Google and Microsoft announced in October 2009 that they would start including Tweets in search results for Google Search and Bing.
Under the deal with Yahoo, users will have access to Tweets via Yahoo Search, as well as their own Twitter feed via the Yahoo homepage and Yahoo Mail, Sports, News, Entertainment, and Finance. Users will also be able to share Yahoo activity comments on articles, ratings, buzzes on Yahoo Buzz on Twitter, and Yahoo will be able to build Twitter clients into their products.
Real-time Tweets will start showing up in Yahoo Search today, while other features will be integrated throughout the year, Yahoo said.
"Yahoo is giving your online social life wings to help you stay in touch with the people and things you care about most across the Web," Bryan Lamkin, senior vice president of Yahoo's consumer products group, wrote in a separate blog post. "It's part of our strategy to ensure that Yahoo! delivers the people and things that matter most to you."
"Tweets may be short, but they have proven over and over again to contain valuable information," Stone wrote. "As the Twitter information network grows and expands, it becomes more valuable for everyone who participates. Our open approach helps us get closer to providing universal connectivity to a global network of immediate information."
In December, Yahoo said it would allow Yahoo Mail users to check Facebook status updates from their inboxes starting next year. The service will also be available across other Yahoo properties, including News, Answers, and Sports, thanks to Facebook Connect.

"Kent Samuel is the poster boy for Southeastern athletics."
That quote is from Kent Pickens and seems to sum up the general consensus of friends from childhood, high school and college.
Samuel was Southeastern's first All-Conference golfer after an outstanding athletics career at Durant High School.
Pickens was another All-Conference golfer for the Savages who went on to become the softball coach at Durant High and lead the program to elite status.
Samuel will be inducted into the Southeastern Oklahoma State University Athletics Hall of Fame August 25.
Pickens said, "I always looked up to Kent. He was a very good role model and a great example of Southeastern athletics. He is just a great person who has had great success and has always been very humble.
"We were always kind of special friends because of our first names. I have been mistaken several times for Kent Samuel.
"The driver was his best club. He hit the ball low and straight, he was always consistent, never too high or too low, always stayed on an even keel. I'm really happy that he is going into the Southeastern Hall of Fame. I've been pushing this for a long time. He is very deserving."
Samuel was a standout athlete at DHS. He was the Most Valuable Player on the 1970 football Lions and the Best All-Around Athlete at Durant High School in 1971.
He was an All-District fullback and a tri-captain on the basketball team, earning All-Conference honors in both sports and was also a standout on the golf squad.
He wasn't perfect, though, because he once made a "B" in the third grade. Once. His only "B" in secondary education. He also once made a "B" at Southeastern. Once.
Durant optometrist Dr. Greg Clay and Samuel grew up together, all the way from first grade at Washington Irving to Durant High and a year at Southeastern.
"I got Kent started in golf when we were 11 years old," Clay said. "My dad (the late Dr. Joe Clay) would take us to the Durant Country Club just about every afternoon.
"I gave Kent his first set of clubs and I remember them well. They were from Sears and still had the wooden shafts. He started with a driver, 3-wood, 3-5-7-9 irons and a putter. Kent took to golf very quickly, like from zero to 60 in no time. He certainly passed me up quickly."
Clay recalled some of the golf trips in high school. There would be five players and coach Bill McCarson in one car. Cars were more rider-friendly in those days.
"Kent was one of the nicest people you will ever meet," Clay said. "He was outstanding in athletics and in the classroom. I played golf three years in high school with Kent and one year in college. I can remember we played one time at Hugo when they had sand greens."
Samuel was the all-around gold standard at Durant High, but never got involved in the political side of things.
Clay said, "He was never into politics or the (vocal) leadership stuff. His actions took care of the leadership. Any honors he received were earned. He never sought anything like that.
"Kent was just a cool guy. Everybody wanted to be like him. We were in the Boy Scouts together. He has gone on to be extremely successful in life and is still wearing people out on the golf course.
"I was thrilled to learn he was being inducted into the Southeastern Hall of Fame. He truly deserves this honor and I couldn't be happier for him."
Samuel married his high school sweetheart, Sue Seago, whom he dated through most of the high-school years. His mother and father, Dean and Ouita, still live in Durant.
"Sue and I have been married 40 years," Samuel said. "Our daughter, Kendle, is a first-grade teacher in the Conroe (Texas) School district."
After his career at Durant High, Samuel continued his athletic and academic achievements at Southeastern.
Along with being SE's first All-Conference golfer, he placed second in the conference championship tournament as a freshman.
Samuel was a three-time Scholar Athlete at Southeastern who completed his four years with a 3.91 grade-point average.
Beyond Southeastern, Samuel was a 4-time winner of the Durant Country Club's Little Dixie Classic, which was at the time the state's oldest amateur tournament.
His most-recent title was in the Senior Division of The Woodlands (Texas) Country Club Golf Championship. In between, Samuel claimed the 2007 Texas Legends Golf Championship-TPC Houston, and picked up second-and third-place finishes in The Woodlands CC club championship tournaments.
Samuel finished second in the 2011 Texas State Senior Fourball tournament and ninth in the U.S. Senior Challenge in Bowling Green, Kentucky.
After graduating from Southeastern, Samuel earned his CPA certificate and spent 25 years in the oil and gas business in Tulsa, Dallas, Omaha, Nebraska, and Houston. For the last 11 years, he has lived in The Woodlands (Texas) as a registered investment advisor. He served as CFO (Chief Financial Officer) for his last four energy companies.
William "Bebo" Dodd Jr. was another Durant High teammate.
He said, "We just all respected Kent and could count on him always doing the right thing all the time. Man, all of the locker rooms in football, basketball, golf trips . I remember one time all of us in junior high were cutting up, making fun of an assistant coach and Leonard Morgan would yell, "You honwocks!" and make us run laps.
"Kent was never involved in the mischief, but he got in trouble just because he was there. I visited Kent and Suzy a couple of times and we played a lot of golf. I didn't tell him, but it was funny to me with the tables turned, so to speak, in terms of golf.
"Here I was, the PGA Golf Pro playing better than Kent and helping him with his swing. I just thought, 'Wow, here is my old buddy that would beat me and everyone else to death at golf, had the perfect swing and great putting stroke.
"I thought about those days and how much I wanted to compete with him to no avail. He was just better and now, 30-plus years later, here I am with the upper hand. The whole thing was just humbling.'"
Boyd Robertson, another of Kent's teammates, is now working with a TV station in Los Angeles that carries the Dodgers baseball games. Robertson is in the booth with legendary broadcaster Vin Scully.
Robertson said, "For me, Kent Samuel not only played No. 1, he acted that way off the golf course. He was a consistent golfer, quiet leader and a wonderful teammate and friend to this day.
"As I look back and reflect about Kent on the golf course, whether it was a practice round or in tournament, his signature was if he made a bogey he would and could come back on the next hole and post a birdie better than any other player that I was around."
"That is the spirit of a great teammate that I will take with me the rest of my life. Kent going into the Hall of Fame reminds me of how special it must be for him and his wife Sue because they are home grown. I also want to mention our golf coach, Dr. Phil Dunham. He was a huge part of the golf team. It was an honor to play for coach Dunham and Southeastern.
"Congratulations, Kent, well done."
Samuel recalled his first year at Southeastern. "I don't know if that was the highlight of my golf career at Southeastern, but I finished second in the conference tournament as a freshman.
I was leading until the last group completed its round, leaving me one stroke behind the leader.
"I've been a registered investment advisor for the last 11 years, but my hobby is still golf. I still enjoy competing and I play about 25-30 tournaments a year in events like the Texas Golf Association, Houston City and TransMiss Senior Championships, along with many tournaments held at my country club, The Woodlands.
"My all-time low round is 66 and I still shoot in the 60s two or three times a year. My handicap is zero at The Woodlands.
"Perhaps the most important thing I learned playing golf at Southeastern was how many great golfers there were and that I'd better learn something in class because I wasn't going to make a living playing golf."
Kent Samuel will be inducted into the Southeastern Oklahoma State University Athletics Hall of Fame at 5:30 p.m. Saturday, August 25.
A reception for the four inductees will begin at 4:30 in the Visual and Performing Arts Center. Kent will join Natalie Brown (basketball), Charles Gulley (football and track,) and Cary Ammons (baseball.)
For tickets or information, phone the SE athletics office at 580-745-2250.

WS-AtomicTransaction Configuration MMC Snap-in
The WS-AtomicTransaction Configuration MMC Snap-in is used to configure a portion of the WS-AtomicTransaction settings on both local and remote machines.
If you are running Windows XP or Windows Server 2003, the MMC snap-in can be found by navigating to Control Panel/Administrative Tools/Component Services/, right-clicking My Computer, and selecting Properties. This is the same location where you can configure the MSDTC. Options available for configuration are grouped under the WS-AT tab.
If you are running Windows Vista or Windows Server 2008, MMC snap-in can be found by clicking the Start button, and typing in
dcomcnfg.exe in the Search box. When the MMC is opened, navigate to the My Computer\Distributed Transaction Coordinator\Local DTC node, right click and select Properties. Options available for configuration are grouped under the WS-AT tab.
The previous steps are used to launch the snap-in for configuring a local machine. If you want to configure a remote machine, you should locate the remote machine's name in Control Panel/Administrative Tools/Component Services/, and perform similar steps if you are running Windows XP or Windows Server 2003. If you are running Windows Vista or Windows Server 2008, follow the previous steps for Vista and Windows Server 2008, but use the Distributed Transaction Coordinator\Local DTC node under the remote computer's node.
To use the user interface provided by the tool, you have to register the WsatUI.dll file, which is located at the following path,
%PROGRAMFILES%\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0\Bin\WsatUI.dll
The registration can be done by the following command.
regasm.exe /codebase WsatUI.dll
You can use this tool to modify the basic WS-AtomicTransaction settings. For example, you can enable and disable the WS-AtomicTransaction protocol support, configure the HTTP ports for WS-AT, bind an SSL Certificate to the HTTP port, configure certificates by specifying certificate subject names, select the Tracing mode and set default and maximum timeouts.
If you must configure WS-AtomicTransaction support on the local machine only, you can use the command line version of this tool. For more information about the command line tool, see the WS-AtomicTransaction Configuration Utility (wsatConfig.exe) topic.
You should be aware that both the MMC Snap-in and the command-line tool do not support configuring all WS-AT settings. These settings can be edited only by modifying the registry directly. For more information about these registry settings, see Configuring WS-Atomic Transaction Support.
User Interface Description
Enable WS-Atomic Transaction Network Support:
Toggling this checkbox enables or disables all the GUI components of this snap-in.
Before you check this box, you should make sure that Network DTC Access is enabled with inbound or outbound communication, or both. This value can be verified in the Security Tab of the MSDTC snap-in.
Network Group Box
You can specify the HTTPS port and additional security settings such as SSL encryption in the Network group. This group is disabled (grayed out) if DTC Network Transactions are not enabled.
HTTPS Port
This is the value of the HTTPS port used for WS-AT. The value must be a number in the range 1-65535 (as to represent a valid port). Changing the HTTP Port modifies the HTTP Service Configuration, which means that the previously used WS-AT Service Address is released, and a new WS-AT Service Address is registered based on the new port. In addition, the newly selected port is encrypted with the currently selected certificate for SSL Encryption.
If you have already enabled the firewall before running this tool, the port is automatically registered in the exception list. If the firewall is disabled before running this tool, nothing additional is configured regarding the firewall.
If you enable the firewall after configuring WS-AT, you must run this tool again and supply the port number using this parameter. If you disable the firewall after configuring, WS-AT continues to work without additional input.
Endpoint Certificate
Clicking the Select button displays a list with the currently available certificates on the Local Machine, allowing the user to select the certificate that can be used for SSL encryption. The certificates must have a private key. Otherwise, you receive an error message.
When you set an SSL certificate for a selected port, you overwrite the original SSL certificate associated with that port if one exists.
Authorized Accounts
Clicking the Select button invokes the Windows Access Control List editor, where you can specify the user or group that can participate in WS-Atomic transactions by checking the Allow or Deny box in the Participate permission group.
Authorized Certificates
Clicking the Select button displays a list of currently available certificates on the LocalMachine. You can then select which certificate identities are allowed to participate in WS-Atomic transactions.
Timeout Group Box
The Timeout group box allows you to specify the default and maximum timeout for a WS-Atomic transaction. A valid value for outgoing timeout is between 1 and 3600. A valid value for incoming timeout is between 0 and 3600.
Tracing and Logging Group Box
The Tracing and Logging group Box allows you to configure the desired tracing and logging level.
Clicking the Options button invokes a page where you can specify additional settings.
The Trace Level combination box allows you to choose from any valid value of the TraceLevel enumeration. You can also use the checkboxes to specify if you want to perform activity tracing, activity propagation or collect personal identifiable information.
You can also specify logging sessions in the Logging Session group box.
When another trace consumer is using the WS-AT trace provider, you cannot create a new logging session for trace events. Any attempt to configure logging during this time results in the error message "Failed to enable provider. Error code: 1".
For more information about tracing and logging, see Administration and Diagnostics.

Lingering winter weather in the Texas Panhandle has left some roads and schools closed a day after a blizzard dumped 17 inches of snow in the Amarillo area.
The Texas Department of Transportation says part of Interstate 40 east of Amarillo and near the border with Oklahoma remained closed Tuesday. Stretches of Highway 87 in the Dalhart and Dumas (DOO'-mus) areas were also closed.
State officials say improving weather should mean reopening the roadways by early Tuesday afternoon. Temperatures in the Amarillo area are expected to reach the mid-30s.
City offices in Amarillo were closed Tuesday. A spokesman says Rick Husband Amarillo International Airport isn't operating flights until runways could be cleared by likely midday Tuesday.
The Amarillo Independent School District canceled classes Tuesday.

In regard to the constitutionality of President Barack Obama's National Security Agency's (NSA) Prism surveillance program, I shall defer my analysis until the court rules in the recent American Civil Liberties Union action, since the issues are complex.
What is more perplexing is President Obama and the NSA's immediate defensive posture and the implicit claim that NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden is a traitor and criminal for bringing to light the issue of Orwellian "1984" totalitarianism.
The bottom line is that if Obama circumvented American constitutional law vis-a-vis national security activities and lied to the Congress and the people, then we need two trials: one for Snowden on grounds of civil disobedience and another for Obama's impeachment.
In the end, "one word of truth shall outweigh the world" (Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn). This applies both to the Gulag Archipelago of the former Soviet Union, as well as to the United States of America.

RENO, Nev. - It's National Crime Victims' Rights Week and every year the Alliance for Victims' rights shines the spotlight on those who advocate for victims all over the region. More than a hundred people gathered for an awards ceremony at the Mills B. Lane Justice Center in downtown Reno Wednesday night.
"The purpose of us meeting here today is really to honor those doing great work on behalf of crime victims," Alliance for Victims' Rights Chair Kari Ramos said. "The idea behind that is to raise the morale among people who are doing that work and also raise awareness in the community. I think it's really helpful for survivors to know that there are people doing work on their behalf."
According to the Alliance for Victims' Rights, more than half of crimes go unreported and only about a fifth of victims receive the services they need.
"There's a big fear that maybe people won't believe these victims or they don't understand the criminal justice system," Ramos said. "So there can be a stopping point where they say maybe I'll just handle it on my own but there are a number of people in our community who are excellent with crime victims."
Nine awards were presented at the ceremony. A candlelight vigil in front of the courthouse paid tribute to those touched by violence.
"When everybody comes together for a common cause to bring light to the victims in our community and do what they can to help prevent these things from happening it really shows the support we have here," Washoe County Undersheriff Todd Vinger said.
He says the Sheriff's Office, District Attorney's Office and local police departments are committed to advocating for those affected by violence.
"Law enforcement has come a long way over the years to really understand the impacts on the victim," Vinger said. "Years ago we used to focus on the crime and the criminal and unfortunately we forgot about the victim. Events like this really bring to light the fact that we need to never forget about the victim."

R-MC (9-3) was led by 16 points from Calvin Croskey. All-Tournament team members Adam Desgain and Lamar Giggetts each had 12 points in the Jackets' victory. Freshman Marcus Badger posted a career-high 11 points.
Farmingdale State (7-3) was paced by the tournament's most outstanding player junior forward AJ Matthews (Brooklyn, N.Y.). Matthews had 18 points to go along with 16 rebounds in the championship game. Fellow all-tournament team selection senior guard Joshua Smith (Deer Park, N.Y.) had 21 points to go along with 21 from Dyshaun Flournoy (Brentwood, N.Y.).
With three minutes to go in the first-half, R-MC found itself down 35-26. A jumper by Evan Jackson proved to be the first of six points to close the half for the freshman as he sparked an 8-1 run that sent the teams to the locker room with FSU up 36-34.
The game remained close with Mathews scoring his lone bucket of the second half at the 16:40 mark, giving the Rams a 44-39 advantage.
R-MC then went on an 18-4 run over the next three minutes, opening up a 57-48 lead on a lay in by Desgain.
The Rams battled back, tying the game at 71-71 on a layup by Flournoy with less than three minutes to go in the game.
After each team turned the ball over on their ensuing possessions, R-MC's Dylan Cole was fouled and knocked down two free-throws to put Randolph-Macon on top 73-71 with two minutes to go.
R-MC would get a stop on the defensive end and a Cole bucket on the offensive end extended the Jackets' advantage to 75-71. The Yellow Jackets sealed the win by going 7-for-8 from the free-throw line in the final 40 seconds.

Jette Parker Young Artist Ashley Riches is currently in the midst of rehearsals for Bizet's classic Carmen. 'It is real blockbuster and a wonderful fixture of the art form,' he says of the opera.
'The piece is extraordinary as a theatrical construction', he says. 'It has this persuasive, pulsating, driving narrative that just drags you into it. It really is one of the most entertaining operas.'
Ashley will sing the role of Moralès, opposite Roberto Alagna's Don José. 'Moralès is a soldier driven not by a sense of duty, but by his hormones. He is the first soloist to sing, and really sets the tone for what life is like in a hot, sensuous and sweaty Seville.'
Ashley joined the Jette Parker Young Artists Programme in 2012, making his Royal Opera debut as St. Jacques to Roberto Alagna's Le Cid in the Our Extraordinary World gala. 'It was the stuff of dreams really,' he reflects. 'The Royal Opera House showing the very best of what it does, all executed with such care, such thoughtfulness and just total commitment.'

However, despite a passion for music, a career in opera has not always been on the cards for Ashley. 'My grandpa was a jazz trumpeter for about twenty years before becoming an accountant, and my Mum was the village organist and a singer of the shower variety,' he says casually when asked to describe his musical background. 'I played the flute and piano to quite a high standard, and only joined the choir at 15 as it seemed to be part of the deal with a music college', he explains.
It wasn't until he went to study English at Cambridge University, joining the King's College Choir, that he began to take singing more seriously. 'It was an extraordinary three years for me,' he explains. We rehearsed for about 20 hours a week so it was a real lesson in dedication and collaboration. Music stopped being a hobby and I started to consider it as a potential profession.'
Over the course of the three years, Ashley performed in two operas, Engelbert Humperdinck's Hansel and Gretel and Mozart's Don Giovanni. 'Performing Don Giovanni in second year was a life-changing experience for me, and the reason I chose to follow the operatic path,' he explains. 'It was the first real opportunity I had to work at constructing a role and stitching together music and theatre to feel how the two elements work together.'
He went on to study with Robert Dean at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama, winning a scholarship for the opera course. Now, one year in to the Jette Parker Young Artists Programme, he has performed on the Main Stage alongside the likes of Bryan Hymel, Angela Gheorghiu and Jonas Kaufmann.
'There is an enormous amount of impressive work that goes on here,' he says, 'and to see the very best in the world in the rehearsal room, on good and bad days, is extraordinary. Knowing just how much dedication and hard work goes into performing some atrociously difficult things has been a real inspiration.'
Following Carmen, Ashley will perform in Turandot, L'Ormindo, La traviata, Dialogues des Carmélites and Ariadne auf Naxos.

Hartford, Conn. – Sophomore Candace Wu teamed with fellow rookie Lauren Quisenberry (Corpus Christi, Texas) for an 8-2 win at No. 1 doubles and Julia Hsu earned the deciding point with a 7-6, 7-5 triumph at No. 3 singles to lead the visiting Massachusetts Institute of Technology Engineers in women's tennis action this afternoon at Assaiante Tennis Center. With the win, MIT improves to 11-0 on the spring season.
MIT took a 3-0 lead after doubles play, but Bantam junior Kelsey Semrod (Princeton, N.J.) dominated the No. 4 singles match with a 6-1, 6-1 victory to put the Bantams on the board. The Engineers answered with straight-set wins at No. 2 (Candace Wu) and No. 3 (Julia Hsu) singles, clinching the match with Hsu's narrow victory over Trinity senior co-captain Jillian Steckloff (Framingham, Mass.). Quisenberry won in three sets at first singles, while Sophomore Frances Cameron (Mill Valley, Calif.) and first-year Senzosihle Mauve-Maphisa (Bulawayo, Zimbabwe) added late singles wins for the Bantams.
MIT, ranked No. 9 in the Northeast, improves to 16-4 with its 11 consecutive victory. The Engineers will now have to wait until May 9th to see if they get an at-large invite to compete in the NCAA team championships. The Bantams finish the regular season with a 9-6 record.

Two drug suspects tossed $17,000 onto San Diego freeways during a police chase Thursday afternoon. Motorists stopped to scoop up the bills, but police say officers recovered most of the money.
"I just saw cars stopped and them picking up money from their cars," said witness Nancy Acosta.
Police and federal drug agents were following the suspects' pickup truck when the driver fled on busy Interstate 5 during the afternoon commuter rush. They tossed $20 and $100 bills out the window before surrendering.
Cash was blowing across freeway lanes, Sgt. Kevin Rausis said. Some motorists stopped in traffic lanes to pick up the bills.
"People were jumping the median and stuffing dollar bills in their shirts," according to Cal Walker with KOGO traffic.
Law enforcement officers shut down Interstate 805. Officers following the money trail collected more than $17,200 and some passers-by later turned in cash to police.
Officers believe there is still more money out there, and are warning people to turn it in.
"It is evidence in a crime and they should turn it in to their nearest police station," Sgt. Kevin Rausis said. Officers may look at police helicopter video and Caltrans cameras to identify people who took the money.
A spokesperson for the DEA would not give details about where the money came from, but did say that it was part of a bigger ongoing investigation.

** About We Elected You **
** Building A Million Dollar Retirement Portfolio **Remember that it's your money. If you live above your means, using borrowed money to do so, then the banks and money-lenders will own what should have been your retirement savings when you hit retirement age. This is especially true if you use borrowed money throughout your working years to purchase things that you want but do not necessarily need. Distinguish clearly between what you need and what you want. In the end, the fiscally prudent will own the fiscally profligate, and this applies equally to households, businesses and governments. If you think being a diligent saver will tank the economy, think again. The banks will lend money to those who spend it; investments in in mutual funds and individual stocks (i.e., publicly-held companies) will go back into the economy in the form of salaries, product development, plant expansion, and countless other ways. By saving or investing, your role has gone from being a direct consumer of goods and services to an indirect consumer. Unless you lock it in a vault or stuff it in a mattress, the money hasn't left the economy. .

Kemp powers Dodgers to victory but injures himself yet again
Matt Kemp looked healthy and healed, but managed to injure himself in the ninth inning. [AP]
With two stints on the disabled list and a slugging percentage well below .400, it's been a trying season for Matt Kemp. Fresh off a 15-day stay on the disabled list, the Dodgers' 28-year-old centerfielder went 3-for-4 with a walk Sunday, falling a triple short of the cycle and helping the Dodgers to a three-game sweep of the Nationals and a share of first place in the NL West. Alas, Kemp sprained his left ankle while trying to score a meaningless ninth-inning run and limped off the field, his prognosis once again in doubt.
The MVP-caliber player who hit 39 homers and stole 40 bases in 2011 has rarely shown top form since undergoing offseason surgery to repair the labrum of his left (non-throwing) shoulder. Unsurprisingly, he got off to a slow start in 2013, hitting just .251/.305/.335 with two homers through May 29, when he strained his right hamstring. He spent 26 days on the DL, and was just starting to heat up — homering on back-to-back days on July 3-4 — when he aggravated the acromioclavicular joint of his left shoulder in his first plate appearance on July 5. After receiving a cortisone shot, he was placed on the DL in a retroactive move on July 8.
Upon returning Sunday, he appeared ready to pick up where he left off. In his first plate appearance, Kemp led off the second inning of a scoreless game against the Nationals' Jordan Zimmermann. Five pitches in, he crushed a hanging slider for a solo home run to rightfield:
That homer kick-started a seven-run rally that featured six hits and two walks, with a three-run homer by Hanley Ramirez the biggest blow. As the Dodgers batted around, Kemp capped the rally by driving in Andre Ethier with a two-out double.
The outburst chased Zimmermann after just two innings, the shortest start of his major-league career. It's unclear whether the neck stiffness that scratched the 27-year-old righty from an All-Star Game appearance was a factor. Zimmermann has reportedly been pitching through the injury — said to be a slightly bulging disc — for some unspecified amount of time, but his effectiveness has waned. Since putting up a 2.28 ERA through the end of June, he's been rocked for a 7.32 mark in four starts this month, only one of them quality starts. Meanwhile, his opposite number, Clayton Kershaw, cruised Sunday. In seven innings, he yielded just two hits, both of them solo homers by Jayson Werth.
In the fourth inning, Kemp added an RBI single off Ross Ohlendorf, running the score to 9-1. He had two chances to complete the cycle, but lined out to left in the sixth inning, and walked in the ninth. Given the 9-2 margin, the radio announcer Steve Lyons wondered aloud if manager Don Mattingly would pull Kemp for a pinch-runner; in the previous three innings, he had replaced Ramirez, Ethier and Adrian Gonzalez. Kemp remained in the game, however, advancing to second on Mark Ellis' single, and taking third when Brandon League walked (!). He tried to score when Carl Crawford rolled a grounder to first base, but wasn't running anywhere near full speed, and then decided to try scoring standing up instead of sliding. While crossing the plate, his left foot caught beneath the outstretched left leg of catcher Kurt Suzuki. From Chad Moriyama of MLBGIFS.com:
Kemp limped off the field and was replaced by Yasiel Puig for the bottom of the ninth inning. After the game, the Dodgers' official Twitter feed summarized Mattingly's postgame comments on his condition:
Even so, "Dodger Talk" co-host David Vassegh of Fox Sports LA reported that Kemp appeared fairly uncomfortable:
At least for the moment, the injury will again forestall the need for Mattingly to worry about their four-outfielder logjam. When Crawford was activated on July 5, it was the was the first game for which Mattingly had him, Ethier, Kemp and Puig all available, but that lasted only until Kemp departed in the third inning due to his injured shoulder. Though he spent a few days lingering on the roster before being placed on the DL, Sunday's game was the first time since then that all four outfielders were healthy enough to play; Puig, who was just 1-for-14 over his previous four games and without an extra-base hit over his previous 10, was the one who sat until being called upon to replace Kemp in the ninth.
For all of the injuries, the Dodgers have been surging. They're a major-league best 27-15 since June 3, the day that Puig made his major-league debut; the next day, Ramirez returned to the lineup following a four-week absence due to a hamstring strain. Since then, Puig has hit .369/.400/.581 with eight homers, while Ramirez has hit .388/.441/.705 with nine homers. Ramirez collected the go-ahead hits in the previous two games against the Nationals, with a third-inning two-run homer off Stephen Strasburg on Friday night, and a 10th-inning RBI double off Craig Stammen on Saturday night.

'Lumberjills' shine for Penn State Woodsmen Team
'Lumberjills' shine for Penn State Woodsmen Team
UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. -- Two women from the Penn State Woodsmen Team placed first in their events at a competition in Syracuse, N.Y., on March 23, defeating their opponents in the women's obstacle course and women's stock saw.
It may come as a surprise to many that Penn State has a Woodsmen Team, comprised of students who compete in collegiate lumberjack competitions throughout this country and Canada. But don't let the "men" in Woodsmen fool you -- the team has a solid group of "lumberjills" competing as well.
They include Kara Knechtel, Jennifer Snyder, Elyse McMahon, Celine Colbert, Lindsay Mitchell and Sara Ashcraft. Knechtel won the stock saw event and Snyder won the obstacle course event in the recent competition.
"Being a female on the team is not at all intimidating," said Colbert, a freshman majoring in both forest science and wood products from Pittsburgh. "We all just do our best and find our strengths."
The Woodsmen Team existed at the University Park campus during the 1970s but was disbanded due to a lack of interest and participation. As the years went by, the club gained major popularity at Penn State Mont Alto. In 2002, students from the Mont Alto team transferred to University Park and brought their love of wood chopping with them.
"They didn't have any equipment or funds to compete," said Knechtel, a senior architecture major from Butler. "They spent their first semester raising funds by splitting and selling firewood."
Mike Powell, an instructor in the Ecosystem Science and Management Department in the College of Agricultural Sciences, became the team's coach when it formed again in 2002. The team was able to gather enough funds to compete in its first competition in Colby, Maine, in the spring of 2003.
Snyder, a junior sociology major from Lancaster, spent her first two years at Mont Alto but did not join the team until she came to University Park.
"Two of my friends told me they needed girls desperately," said Snyder. "So, I tried out and ended up liking it a lot. I love a challenge, and competing against men makes me try that much harder to win."
Like Snyder, Mitchell also transferred to University Park, but not from Mont Alto.
"I was on the Woodsmen team at the University of Vermont," said the senior wildlife and fisheries science major from Warrington, Vt. "When I transferred here, one of the team members at the time was in a class of mine, so I started talking to him and here I am."
Penn State has sent men's teams and combined men's and women's teams to competitions in New York, West Virginia, Ontario and Pennsylvania. For the club to send a women's team to an event, there must be six females willing and ready to compete, which has only happened twice before now.
The women are doing very well in some of the events, according to Powell.
At a competition in West Virginia last fall, Ashcraft, who is a graduate student in the ecosystem science and management program, took first in the underhand chop -- an event she had practiced only twice. Originally from State College, she joined the team as a graduate student.
Junior wildlife and fisheries science major McMahon, from Erie, went in completely blind when she tried out for the team.
"Some of the guys in my forest measurements and tree physiology classes encouraged me to join," she said. "I had no experience with wood cutting, but after they got me cross-cutting and bolt-splitting, I knew this was going to be fun."
The women agree that their practices, which occur three times a week, are a great workout and a perfect way to relieve stress.
"Having grown up in a rural area just north of Pittsburgh, chopping firewood was always part of our chores," Knechtel said. "When I came to Penn State as an architecture major, the heavy workloads and long hours seemed to keep me from enjoying outdoor activities and kept me from finding people who shared similar outdoor interests."
Knechtel joined the team thanks to her boyfriend, who mentioned the team on their first date and brought her to practice on their second date. Her first attempt at an underhand chop took her almost the entire practice. The event, standing on a block of wood and chopping it between her legs, left her with a number of blisters before she was able to break through the log.
"Today, almost two years later, I can do it in a matter of minutes," she said.
Each girl competes in her own individual events at competitions. Some of these events include crosscut, bow saw, stock saw, under chop, log roll, water boil and bolt split. At practices, the women work to improve their own events, but they also are encouraged to try new ones.
Colbert noted that the events are a physical challenge for most of the women. "Girls don't have as much upper body strength as guys do, so it makes the events more difficult for women to complete," she said. "But the guys on our team are extremely helpful and knowledgeable."
"I appreciate what these women are doing," Powell said. "They put so much effort into this team and have been very successful. They deserve just as much of an opportunity as the guys to go out there and compete."

March 8, 2012 -- A small study that shows a surprising complexity of genetic changes within a single tumor has far-reaching implications for the march toward personalized cancer therapy, according to researchers.
A single biopsy from a tumor might not be sufficient to give a full picture of its genetic landscape, a team from the United Kingdom reports.
When the researchers examined 10 biopsies taken from a single kidney cancer tumor, they found "an extraordinary amount of diversity" in the genetic changes that had taken place in different parts of the tumor.
"There were more differences between biopsies from the same tumor at the genetic level than there were similarities," said researcher Charles Swanton, MD, PhD, from the Cancer Research UK, London Institute, and the University College London, United Kingdom.
The findings, published in the New England Journal of Medicine, were highlighted at a London news conference organized by Cancer Research UK, which funded the study.
The team also found differences in genetic changes between the primary tumor and places in the body where the cancer spread. Similar findings have been documented by other research groups.
But it is the extent of the genetic changes that is surprising, the researchers note.
Far-Reaching Implications
The findings have far-reaching implications for the efforts currently being directed toward personalized cancer therapy, in which therapy is targeted at genetic changes identified in tumor tissue. Swanton cautioned that "if you take only one biopsy, you could be misled clinically."
"I don't want to rain on anyone's parade, but the whole situation is far more complex than we could have imagined," he said.
"The simple view of directing therapy on the basis of genetic tumor markers is probably too simple," agrees Dan Longo, MD, deputy editor of the New England Journal of Medicine, in an accompanying editorial.
"A whole new world has been anticipated in which patients will undergo a needle biopsy of a tumor in an outpatient clinic, and a little while later, an active treatment will be devised for each patient on the basis of the distinctive genetic characteristics of the tumor," Longo writes.
However, a serious flaw in this imagined future of cancer treatment is the underestimation of genetic diversity within a tumor, he notes.
Differences Within a Single Tumor
The study evolved out of research into kidney cancer that was aiming to find a biomarker that would predict response to the drug Afinitor, explained co-author James Larkin, MD, PhD, consultant medical oncologist at the Royal Marsden Hospital in Surrey, U.K.
In that trial, patients underwent a six-week course of treatment with Afinitor; then after stopping the drug for one week they had the diseased kidney removed. Several biopsies were taken from the primary tumor and from where it spread both before and after treatment with Afinitor.
The team analyzed the cancer genes in biopsy samples taken from four patients. In total, 30 biopsies were taken from four primary tumors, and the genome analysis revealed that 26 of these 30 biopsies were different, Larkin said.
One hundred eighteen different genetic mutations were identified. The researchers also noted that genetic signals associated with a good prognosis and those associated with a bad prognosis were detected in different regions of the same tumor.
Evolutionary Changes
When the researchers modeled the genetic changes, they found an evolution pattern that resembles the trunk and branches of a tree. The tumor began with a number of genetic changes that developed early on in the "trunk"; over time, different groups of cells evolved different genetic changes and formed different "branches" of the cancer's evolutionary tree.
This theory is in stark contrast to current cancer theories being taught in medical schools, Swanton said. A mainstay of the medical school curriculum is that cancer is a disease that evolves in a linear fashion, with mutations arising in a sequential fashion. "This is what ... is guiding our research, but this theory is driven by a single biopsy from a tumor," he said.
However, this revolutionary way of thinking about cancer is based on a very small study. "We only analyzed four patients," Swanton acknowledged. More work is needed and is already under way as part of Cancer Research UK's Genomics Initiative.
Evolutionary Trees
Nevertheless, the theory could explain a number of clinical observations, Swanton said. Targeted drugs that have already succeeded in the treatment of cancer could be acting on genetic mutations that occur early in the evolution -- in the trunk of the tree, he explained. Examples of such agents are Herceptin for HER2-positive breast cancer, and Tarceva and Iressa, which block the action of a substance involved in tumor growth in non-small-cell lung cancer.
Other cancers would have a very short trunk and many branches, perhaps like pancreatic cancer, which is notoriously difficult to treat and has not responded well to any targeted therapies.
Swanton is concerned that some of the newer drugs targeting new mutations will be acting only on the branches, so will not have a big impact on the cancer. "Just because a mutation is there doesn't mean that you are going to see a robust response when you target it," he said.
"This research is going to change the way that we analyze cancers," predicted Peter Johnson, MD, chief clinician at Cancer Research UK, who also spoke at the press conference. "We are clearly only at the beginning of this process."
The findings highlight the extreme complexity of cancer genetics, but they also point to a way forward despite this complexity, he said. "They suggest a way to improve the success rate of personalized medicine."
Swanton and several of his co-authors report receiving research grants from Novartis.

Read our Walking Dead season 3 premiere review HERE
The Walking Dead season 3 has officially begun, taking Rick and the survivors into their most dangerous environment yet, the prison. But how many more years of adventures can we expect from AMC's hit series? That answer, unfortunately, depends on which producer you ask.
Speaking with Daily Dead, producer Gale Anne Hurd opened up about the potential future of the series - as well as how long she feels the series should continue - taking into account creator Robert Kirkman's plans for The Walking Dead comic book.
Hurd, knowing all of the storylines the comic book explores, feels as if there's more than enough content in the source material to continue the series for the foreseeable future:
There is so much rich material to draw from and so many fantastic characters. There are so many different situations and characters to join our survivors, as well as [characters] to be pitted against them… I think there is no limit. There is certainly no limit to the comic book series and Robert has probably 250 [issues] figured out.
However, before any Walking Dead fans jump for joy about the "no limit" comment, it should be noted that executive producer Glen Mazzara had previously stated that, even though Kirkman's source material is rich with stories, he has an ending planned for the series, as any television show can only last for so long. With a set amount of stories he wants to tell, Mazzara sees the series reaching season 7.
Even though Hurd knows that 7 seasons is what could likely happen for the show, she believes that her previous experience in film has given her a different perspective on the future of The Walking Dead:
I think much bigger and maybe it's my feature film background. Seven isn't nearly enough…
All things said, Hurd's comments about the 7 season plan is absolutely true, but only when pairing it with the comic book. Kirkman has previously stated that, because The Walking Dead is a story about survival, the comic could potentially continue indefinitely. And with the popularity of the comics growing each year, it's very likely that "indefinitely" is the current plan for the source material.
Television, however, is much more finicky, with viewers coming and going as tastes and trends change. Even though The Walking Dead has more than enough established storylines (via the comic book) to currently present audiences with eighteen seasons of show, many television producers see each season as a miracle, never knowing when, or if, the viewers' love for the series will wane. Television's graveyard is currently filled with more than enough once-popular television series being upended and canceled, many of which continued beyond their collective welcome.
Then again, The Walking Dead is not like any other television series, as its storylines and character moments have already stood the test of an opinionated – and much finickier – comic book audiences. So while some series degrade as they age, The Walking Dead has a succinct storyline already prepared, simply awaiting being told.
Like with most things, time will reveal all. Still, if The Walking Dead continues to evolve each season, there's no doubt that it can hit that season 7 goal. But the question is: If that happens, will you still be watching it?
Then again, if the show wears thin, there's always that Walking Dead movie that could potentially continue the story.

Series History
Saturday's game will be the 102nd meeting on the football field between these two schools. The Tigers hold a 52-42-7 edge.
Princeton won close games in 2005 and 2006 but Harvard has won every other game played since 1995 - winning 11 of those 13 games including a nine-year victory march enjoyed by Harvard from 1995-2004.
Last Year's Meeting
Chris Pizzotti threw a touchdown pass and ran for another score as Harvard rallied for a 24-20 win over Princeton, bringing the Crimson back from an early 11-point deficit. Pizzotti completed 17 of 26 passes for 247 yards, including a 15-yard touchdown strike to Chris Lorditch. He also scored on a 33-yard run while Patrick Long added a 25-yard field goal.
Pizzotti also kept the game-winning drive alive late in the fourth quarter when he hit Jason Miller for a 13-yard gain on a 4th-and-1. Three plays later, Gino Gordon put the Crimson ahead for good when he ran in from 6 yards out with 3:34 left to play.
Eric Schultz (16 tackles) then sacked Princeton QB Brian Anderson for a loss of 13 yards to the 34 on third down to help seal the win.
Harvard's Last Time Out
Two first half giveaways in its own territory and three critical defensive penalties paved the way for Lafayette to score 28 first half points en route to a 35-18 setback last week.
Harvard trailed 14-0 after one quarter and 28-3 at halftime in losing to Lafayette for the first time in nine chances and losing at home for the first time in over two years after winning 11 straight since the begining of the 2007 season.
Princeton's Last Time Out
Brown's Buddy Farnham scored two touchdowns and amassed 309 all-purpose yards to help Brown beat Princeton 34-17.
Farnham caught 10 passes for 199 yards, including an 80-yard touchdown, and returned a punt 92 yards for a touchdown.
Kyle Newhall went 23-for-36 with 309 yards and two touchdowns for the Bears. The Tigers were led by Tommy Wornham, who passed for a touchdown and ran for another.
He was 28-for-35 for 193 yards, including a 24-yard touchdown pass to Meko McCray. Wornham also scored on a 12-yard run.
McCray caught seven passes for 57 yards.
Ivy Updates
Harvard and Penn are tied atop the standings at 2-0 apiece following Penn's win over zColumbia last weekend. They are the only two undefeated teams in league play.
Harvard Coach Tim Murphy
In his 16th season as Harvard's head coach, Tim Murphy enters Saturday's game with a 100-54 record with the Crimson and a 132-99-1 overall head coaching record, which includes five years at Cincinnati and two years at Maine. Murphy is one of just five coaches to win 100 games since the formation of the Ivy League in 1954. Murphy has led Harvard to five Ivy League championships (1997, 2001, 2004, 2007, 2008). He is 11-4 all-time against Princeton.
Princeton Coach Roger Hughes
Roger Hughes is in his ninth year on the Princeton sideline, and he enters Saturday's game with a 41-43 overall record. Hughes had his best year with the Tigers in 2006, taking Princeton to a 9-1 record while tying Yale for the Ivy League title. He is 2-7 against Harvard.
After allowing just seven first downs in the first three quarters against Lehigh on Oct. 3, Harvard allowed just nine first downs in a win at Cornell on Oct. 10.
Poison Ivy
Harvard allowed 182 total yards to Cornell and has now held Ivy League foes under 200 yards of offense five times in its last 16 games and six in its last 20 dating back to 2006.
Against Cornell, four different Harvard players recorded a sack for the second consecutive game and five players had a tackle for a loss for the third straight game.
Harvard recorded four rushing touchdowns for the first since Oct. 27, 2007 in a 28-21 win against Dartmouth.
Elite Company
With 100 career victories on the Harvard sideline, head coach Tim Murphy ranks second on the Crimson's all-time wins chart. Murphy is 17 wins away from Joe Restic's school record 117 wins (from 1971-93).
