Emmy Awards 2008 Articles
Emmy Awards 2008 hilights, gossip, photos, and video.
Best Emmy: Tina Fey
Here's a novel idea: write before you can act. Tina Fey became famous for her brain and her sense of humour stands today as the most respected woman in the business. Do parent pimps look to Tina Fey for inspiration? Do they enroll their kids in creative writing instead of Star Search? Doubtful. Full Story
Worst Emmy 2008: Not Alyssa Milano
This is the only photo I could find. Which is shocking. Worst dressed photos sell almost as briskly as best dressed ones. …the f&ck was she thinking??? Am most offended by the small details. Like those shoes. Those Asian massage parlour shoes. Jessica Simpson shoes. Shoes for women with two names - Betty Lou, Connie Sue, Sally Mae, Peggy Lee – who aspire to aging like Dolly Parton: garish makeup, bleached out hair, frosty blue eye shadow, and two pigs fighting under a blanket that make up her ass. Full Story
Worst Emmy Hair: Jennifer Love Hewitt
Size Two wore her hair for a small town prom. Or a small town wedding circa 1995. How the f&ck does this get past security? How the f&ck did she find a stylist even willing to do this? Ken Paves wouldn't do this! Even Ken Paves would draw the line at this! I'm telling you…when you have to go out of state to get your hair did, it's wrong. Full Story
Best Emmy Hair: Felicity Huffman
Super bob. Age appropriate bob. Unfussy and uncomplicated and it looks amazing on her. Her body looks amazing on her too. But some say Felicity Huffman can be a little too body focused… A lot of attention is being paid of late to young actresses on tv and their dangerous desires to be thin. Full Story
Worst Emmy Makeup: Eva Longoria Parker
Too much hanging out with Posh. This is vintage Victoria Beckham: make everyone around you look worse. It's working with Eva Longoria. And of course, it's easy enough with Ken Paves cocking up her hair. The dress doesn't help either. Of course it's f&cking Marchesa! Photos from Wenn.com Full Story
Most Emmy Overrated: Evangeline Lilly
Everyone is losing their sh*t today over her dress. Really? She's gorgeous, yes. Her skin is ridiculous, yes. Body is the tightest, yes. But the dress? Hate the crushed velvet. And that ratty fringe hanging off of it. Like some kind of converted 70s disco carpet from a night club with the lingering smell of cigarettes and sweat all over it and a stain in the back that you can't scrub off. Full Story
Best Emmy Couple: Neil Patrick Harris
Never mind that his boyfriend looks like a young waxy gay Val Kilmer. It's not important. What's important is that NPH is the hotness. And I want him. So poised, so self assured, so damn sexy in his confidence, such an inspiration for Zac Efron when he finally realises what he's missing. Full Story
Worst Emmy Couple: Patrick Dempsey & Mrs BitchFace
Another carpet, another case of the BitchFace. She tried to smile and it almost incapacitated her. My mother calls it Fu Gwa Gon: Dry Bitter Melon Peels. Her godson married a Fu Gwa Gon. Even when she's happy she looks like she's at a funeral. One day a few years ago, mother was playing mahjong and Fu Gwa Gon was sitting in her eyeline. Full Story
Worst Emmy Breathless: Hayden Panettiere
Is it just me or did the 35 year old seem like she was sucking in so hard she could barely breathe? I get that everyone there was Spanxing it last night, holding in every last imaginary ripple, every curve that starvation could not kill, faint and woozy from a week's worth of eating air… but Hayden Panettiere seemed especially uncomfortable. Full Story
Most Emmy Boring: Lauren Conrad
Her own dress was boring as f&ck. The dress she designed for the statue girls was boring as f&ck. And her presentation skills were the most boring as f&ck. So boring that poor David Boreanaz who unfortunately had to share the stage with her was so bored he almost fell asleep handing out the award. Full Story
Best Emmy AssTalk up the ass: Conan O'Brien
Katherine Heigl didn't show but he called out the ungrateful Princess of Asstalk for the ungrateful asstalker she is: "At this point I had planned on doing a few more jokes…but Katherine Heigl told me she didn't think my material was Emmy-worthy." Love, love, love. Photo from SPLASH Full Story

This is my first time getting a baby so young to give him the chance to learn to fly and keep his wings un cut. Edited to add: I mean flight re call. I did this informally with a lovebird I handfed and raised who was the sweetest bird I ever had. And a black cap conure that became so in love with me he would fly to and attack my husband and we couldn't keep him because of how aggressive he was with my husband (DNA sexed male thought I was his mate ) This was 16years ago (before 15years of marriage and having 4kids) and I know most of the things I think I did wrong now, after doing a lot of reading and want to try again.
Every "mile stone" we get to watch him experience is with joy . We are raising him differently than I did my past birds starting with diet and cage size, among other things.
Anyway I wanted to share what my baby can do !
But I would love to get connected with those who have raised a parrot from chick and not just a parrot they acquired un tamed and had to tame it. I'm interested in learning what I need to do if my situation calls for different training tactics , or not. I have ordered Micheals book and it should arrive tomorrow and I am waiting to hear back from about planning a consultation with him.
But here is a video of my baby's first attempts "flying" (jumping) to mommy while we cheer him on. Sorry it is so dark. Taken with cell phone because I was too eager to show what he can do, to set up my dslr on a tripod and it was at night.
I plan to upload all the pictures and videos of his growth and training progress at this new page I created:

All children will have free attendance to children's events at the 2009 Kilkenny Arts Week in August as part of taxback.com's new sponsorship partnership with the festival.
The current economic climate has hit many families hard and with household budgets tighter than ever, many children may not get the opportunity to attend an event like the Kilkenny Arts Festival.
To help make this possible, taxback.com is covering the costs of all 2000 children's tickets* available for the festival to ensure local children have the opportunity to experience this exciting event.
"As a parent, I am acutely aware that the crisis in the economy is impacting on the family budget," says festival CEO Damien Downes. "At Kilkenny Arts Festival we took the view that children didn't create this mess so why should they suffer for it? With the very kind support of taxback.com we are delighted that we can continue to offer an excellent programme of events for children this year."
"We have been exploring ways of making the festival more inclusive so this sends out the message that Kilkenny Arts Festival is for everyone. Book your tickets now before it's too late!"
The festival is on from August 7 to 16 and includes a kaleidoscope of family experiences, from Italian fairytales, to interactive rhythm workshops, creative dance for kids, art workshops, puppetry, sleepovers and storytellers. The Children's Programme has been curated by Donegal storyteller and writer, Joe Brennan.
"We are delighted to be able to give children the opportunity to enjoy this great family event, especially at a time when the current economic climate means many families are having to cut these kinds of extra expenses out of their budgets," says taxback.com CEO Terry Clune.
"This sponsorship is part of our company's International Community Outreach Programme through which our offices around the world support local community projects. Our financial headquarters is in Kilkenny so when the opportunity came up to help local families participate in the festival we jumped at it."

U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission
Restaurant Chain Will Pay $345,000 to Six Male Employees Who Agency Alleged Were Repeatedly Sexually Assaulted
PHOENIX – Cheesecake Factory, Inc., a nationwide restaurant chain that touts itself as a place to create "lasting memories with family and friends," will pay $345,000 and furnish other relief to settle a sexual harassment suit filed by the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), the agency announced today. The EEOC had charged that six male employees were subjected to repeated sexual harassment at the company's Chandler Mall location.
In its lawsuit (EEOC v. Cheesecake Factory, Inc., CV 08-1207-PHX-NVW), the EEOC charged that Cheesecake knew about and tolerated repeated sexual assaults against six male employees by a group of male kitchen staffers. The company denied the allegations. However, according to the agency, the evidence overwhelmingly showed that the men suffered sexually abusive behavior, including abusers directly touching victims' genitals, making sexually charged remarks, grinding their genitals against them, and forcing victims into repeated episodes of simulated rape. Managers witnessed employees dragging their victims kicking and screaming into the refrigerator, the EEOC charged.
Complaints to virtually every manager at the restaurant were made, but they never put a stop to it. Victims felt helpless, the agency said, and one finally had to call the police.
Sexual harassment violates Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. The EEOC filed suit after first attempting to reach a pre-litigation settlement.
Mary Jo O'Neill, regional attorney of the EEOC's Phoenix District Office, said, "The evidence was clear, and everyone knew about it. Behind the lavish décor that the company boasts on its web site was a horribly dysfunctional workplace where male workers lived in fear."
The two-year consent decree settling the suit, in addition to the monetary relief for the six victims, calls for the company to specifically train its employees and managers about sexual harassment and institute an ombudsman to field and address sexual harassment complaints by employees, among other injunctive measures. Failure by the company to fulfill its duties under the decree may mean court intervention and possibly sanctions.
Guy Knoller, one the EEOC trial attorneys who prosecuted this case, pointed out that the EEOC's Phoenix District Office is prosecuting a similar case against Fleming's Prime Steak House.
Acting District Director Rayford Irvin of the EEOC's Phoenix District Office said, "I am glad that such a severe case of same-sex sexual harassment has been resolved and that we can steer the Cheesecake Factory in the right direction toward creating a safe work environment free of sexual harassment for all employees. I'd like to commend the superb investigative and litigation efforts made by the EEOC team in Phoenix."
The EEOC enforces federal laws prohibiting employment discrimination. Further information about the EEOC is available on its web site at www.eeoc.gov.

It was around midday on the first Sunday of 2013 that I found myself on an exploration of what can be said to be secret spaces around Marina Bay, an exploration which was to lead me and the group I found myself in the company of, to the search for happiness during which I did also find love. It was an exploration of places and spaces in which we might have expected love and happiness to be in short supply including a lawyer's office and as well as the offices, meeting spaces and even a boardroom and trading floor of one of the world's largest financial institutions.
The search for happiness did lead us to a seemingly happy space – the offices of Google Asia Pacific. There I did momentarily find that elusive emotional state – I was very happy to have a peek into Google's much talked about working spaces. The goal however was a happy looking abstract art installation, Eeshaun's 'The Search for Happiness', one of several installations awaiting discovery along a rather unique trail, touted as Singapore's only art walkabout, OH! (or Open House). OH! Marina Bay, The Happiness Index, is the latest edition – three previous sell-out events had some 5,000 strangers taking a look at art installations in real life homes in Niven Rd (2009), Marine Parade (2011) and Tiong Bahru (2012).
For OH! Marina Bay, there is a shift from the more personal and intimate spaces that the previous OH!s explored. For the latest edition, participants take a look instead into corporate Singapore. This shift is explained by Alan Oei, the co-founder and curator: "I thought Marina Bay was all office, glass, steel and mirrors. But there is a secret and fascinating life beneath all that. In many ways, one can look at it as manifesting a kind of zeitgeist. It's a really interesting moment in Singapore now, and the arts should be part of that conversation."
That the arts is part of the conversation, OH! leaves little doubt. OH! Marina Bay features the installations of twelve artists, in very different and exclusive locations. There is a little bonus in that as well as the installations (some of which I could identify with), the walkabout does offer that peek into the ultra modern offices of major financial institutions housed in the glass and steel structures which have risen where the sea once stood – as well as taking participants back some three decades to an office that once housed the practice of renowned architect Tay Kheng Soon, who played a role in shaping the architectural landscape of Singapore back then. The office, now hosts the law practice of Ann Tan and Associates, and does still bear some evidence of Tay's interventions within its space.
It was at the lawyer's office that one of what I did think was one of the more interesting installations – sound artist Tan Peiling's 'And they gathered them together in heaps' was to be discovered. Set amongst stacks of documents stored in files are the records that perhaps have not been stored – a visual record as well as one of the sounds of the old harbour – once only an earshot away.
The installations that to me delighted the most however was Joy Abigail Ho's lighthearted and interactive piece at the first stop, as well as the tea ladies dancing to the strains of Bengawan Solo entertain also at the first stop. And it is for this as well as the little discoveries along the way that makes OH! Marina Bay worth the two hours spent.
There was a little to discover as well of the area's development history. Land reclamation which started in the 1970s has shaped much of what we do see today, including the Marina Bay Financial Centre (MBFC). It is from there as well as from the offices visited where we are able have a better appreciation of this, as well as have a peek into the future of the area. Just beyond the MBFC we see a multitude of cranes, cranes which help in the spread of the new downtown southwards on what is now bare reclaimed land. It is also a less known fact that even the area we see as the older part of the financial district centred on Shenton Way, was in fact built on land some of which was reclaimed as far back as the 1880s – the shoreline prior to that had been located at Telok Ayer Street!
It is close to where the walkabout began – at Deutsche Bank's offices which does offer a great view of the past, the present and perhaps the future from its boardroom, where it ends. It is here where the largest collection of works can be found – including many which is in the bank's own collection. It is also here where we find love, which takes the form of a love bomb – a bomb like installation with the Chinese word for love on it. There are also some accompanying paintings which spread the message of love on the walls. It is also here where another highlight of the walkabout lies in waiting – a look at the trading floor on the 18th. The trading floor's location was one selected for its auspicious number we are told.
There are four more days during which you can seek love and happiness in and around some of Marina Bay's secret spaces. Further runs of OH! Marina Bay will be held on 12, 13, 19 and 20 January 2013. Tickets are $20, and can be bought only at the door from 11am, at DBS Asia Central Branch, Marina Bay Financial Centre, Tower 3, Level 3. Last tours leave at 3pm daily. See http://www.ohopenhouse.com/ for more information.

HDtracks FAQ
Heads up!Welcome to this article from the Crutchfield archives. Have fun reading it, but be aware that the information may be outdated and links may be broken.
A: HDtracks is an online music store founded by David and Norman Chesky of the audiophile record label Chesky Records. HDtracks offers digital music files that, when played on a properly configured computer audio system, sound much better than the compressed files sold at the iTunes® store or most other online music stores. In fact, many of the HDtracks downloads sound better than CDs.
Initially, HDTracks offered mostly jazz and classical music from small audiophile labels. Recently, the company has expanded its catalog to include dozens of titles from major rock and pop artists, such as The Rolling Stones, Paul McCartney, The Eagles, Eric Clapton, Steely Dan, and many more.
Q: What kinds of high-definition audio formats does HDtracks sell?
A: There are two stores within the HDtracks website. The original store sells "regular" HDtracks in three different formats — FLAC, AIFF, and high-bit-rate MP3.
The FLAC and AIFF files sold in the original HDtracks store are "lossless" files that have CD-quality sound.
The MP3 files available at HDtracks are "lossy." That means the amount of compression used to achieve smaller file sizes yields sound that is not CD quality. However, at a rate of 320 kbps, the sound is closer to the CD benchmark than what you'll experience with downloads from mass market online music stores.
The new store within the HDtracks store is their 96khz/24bit Store. (That name's a bit misleading, actually, since some of the files have a sampling rate of 88kHz, and some go as high as 192kHz.) The 96/24 store sells FLAC format files only. If you have the right setup, these files sound better than CDs.
Q: Will HDtracks play on my computer?
A: Absolutely. Depending upon which file format you choose, you may want to consider installing a new media player application.
- AIFF files will play in iTunes on your Mac or Windows computer.
- FLAC files will not play in iTunes (at least not without third-party "plug-in" software). Music player software such as Winamp, Media Monkey, and Songbird will play FLAC files.
- MP3 files will play in iTunes or most any other music player software.
- To play the better-than-CD files offered in the 96/24 store, you need a media player (such as MediaMonkey or Songbird) that is compatible with both the FLAC format and high-resolution files. You will also need a digital-to-analog converter that supports high-resolution audio. These high-res files will not play in iTunes unless you first convert them to AIFF, using a programs such as Max (Mac).
Q: What kind of audio gear do I need to get the best results from HDtracks?
A: HDtracks will not sound their best if you're listening through low-fi gear such as your iPod's® stock earbuds or your computer's built-in speakers. We recommend that you connect your computer to an outboard digital-to-analog converter (DAC). Then connect your DAC to a high-fidelity audio system or a good set of headphones.
Q: Will HDtracks play on my iPod or smartphone?
A: HDTracks MP3 files will play on iPods and on most any smartphone.
All iPods except the Shuffle will play HDtracks AIFF files. CD-quality files will quickly fill up a low-capacity iPod. Files from the 24/96 store will not play on an iPod at their full resolution (even when converted to AIFF).
Q: Do I have to connect my computer to my home audio system in order to play HDtracks?
A: Not necessarily. Some network music players, such as Logitech's Squeezebox Touch, will play high-resolution FLAC files.
Q: Can I play HDtracks on my car stereo?
A: Most car stereos will play the 320k MP3s from a disc, iPod, or USB thumb drive. If you have HDtracks AIFF files on your iPod, you can play those over a car stereo. But we haven't yet found a car stereo that will play the high-res FLAC files.

California has its problems.
One of them is Sarah Palin.
In a fit that's weird even for her, the former Alaska governor chose the moment of Mitt Romney's selection of Wisconsin Congressman Paul Ryan to issue an over-the-top, full-of-misstatements condemnation of... California.
The Facebook rant smacked of obsession. After praising Ryan, she made plain that the opponent of the Romney-Ryan ticket is not merely President Obama, but the state of California.
And it's nonsense to say government is the fastest-growing entity in the state. It's actually the slowest. Job loss in government, along with construction, has obscured private sector job growth.
But Palin doesn't let the facts stop her, and she doesn't stop, adding:
The trouble with Palin's take is that it goes beyond Palin. This has become the GOP shorthand for describing California's problems, and that shorthand, to the extent it reaches Californians, misinforms the public and makes it harder to fix what's actually wrong.

WASHINGTON (AP) — A judge has sentenced a former high-ranking official with the Environmental Protection Agency to 32 months in prison for stealing from the agency by failing to show up for work — while falsely claiming to be working for the CIA.
U.S. District Court Judge Ellen Huvelle sentenced John C. Beale, 65, following his guilty plea in September to stealing nearly $900,000 from the EPA in no-shows and filing bogus expenses.
Beale had been a deputy assistant administrator in the EPA's Office of Air and Radiation.
Beale agreed in his plea deal to pay $886,186 to the EPA in restitution, and forfeit another $507,207.

Photo Gallery: Living Room Design Principles
Create the perfect space with these tips.
Photo Gallery: Lacquered Walls
Use symmetry for a look that's pleasing to the eye.
Achieve balance by placing pairs of objects evenly spaced on either side of a centre point. Or opt for asymmetry, an edgier approach that contrasts an object or grouping with an empty space. In this living room by Montreal design team Les Ensembliers, pairs of artwork, leather chairs and lanterns form a symmetrical look. For contrast, the coffee table vignette and bowls atop the mantel are placed asymmetrically.
Find more inspiration in our photo galleries of Les Ensembliers Interiors and Living Room Design Principles.
Build your room around a natural focal point or create one with art or furniture.
An architectural element, like a fireplace, is naturally a prominent feature. Define it further by flanking it with built-in bookcases. Dress up the mantel by topping it with a stunning piece of art or a collection of items. Here in Toronto designer Jeffrey Douglas's home, the lower box-style shelves are made from CaesarStone, making them both sleek and practical as they won't scuff — perfect for storing firewood. On the shelves, he left room to breathe around the personal collections. The geisha photograph is by Laurent Guérin.
Get more ideas in our gallery of living room design principles and watch a video tour of Douglas's home.
Learn to play with scale.
When everything in a space is of expected scale, relative to human proportions and perception, the result is comfortable but predictable. Introduce pieces that break from that norm to showcase a single item or spark conversation. In this small room, large artwork provides big impact without taking up precious floor space.
Find more ideas in our gallery of living room design principles.
When it comes to the layout, select and place furniture to suit the room's various purposes.
Armchairs face the centre of this room on an angle, which is great for easy conversing, enjoying the fire or the view. A tiny drinks table, wood side chair and upholstered cubes can be moved around to suit the occasion.
Choose window treatments that suit the look and functions you're after.
On the left, a wide bamboo roman blind adds more texture to the living room room and helps balance the dresser below. On the right, white plantation shutters were softened with inverted-pleat drapes in a subtle pinstripe. Layering window coverings lets you customize your privacy and light entering the room.
Get more ideas in our gallery of living room design principles.
Ensure the room is well-lit.
Layer lighting types to include a mix of task, room and wall lighting. Here a floor lamp is used for reading and a table lamp for ambiance. Large windows let light flood in during the day for a brighter look.
Define the seating area with a large rug.
In this open-concept condo, a banded neutral rug creates the feeling of a separate room. Placing the chairs, tables and sofa on the carpet provides a sense of order and unity.
Repeat colours, materials, furniture or accessories for a cohesive look.
Whether you're decorating a shelf or a whole room, this fail-safe decorating principle applies. In this new-trad living room, a mix of blue fabrics and silver materials work together in perfect harmony.
Have a small living room? Pay attention to furniture shapes to make the most of your space.
Rounded chairs are pretty from all angles and free of sharp corners — a peril in tight spaces. Choose a sofa with narrow arms to maximize seating, and limit leggy furniture (one or two pieces is enough) to prevent a busy look. H&H senior design editor Margot Austin and her husband Kevin chose white walls to allow their eclectic accessories, art and furniture to stand out. Each new treasure brought in necessitates that another is taken out for a clutter-free look.

The table below summarizes the responses to acquaintance rape of college students, the mechanism by which they are intended to work, the conditions under which they ought to work best, and some factors you should consider before implementing a particular response. It is critical that you tailor responses to local circumstances, and that you can justify each response based on reliable analysis. In most cases, an effective strategy will involve implementing several different responses. Law enforcement responses alone are seldom effective in reducing or solving the problem.
|Key Responses
|How It Works
|Works Best If...
|Conducting acquaintance rape prevention programs for college men in general
|Removes excuses for rape by increasing men's knowledge
|…programs are designed to change behavior, not just attitudes, and coincide with high-risk times
|Finding adequate time for programs before or during high-risk times; researchers recommend combining the programs with prevention programming targeting other forms of sexual assault and also with substance abuse revention programs
|Conducting acquaintance rape risk-reduction programs for college women
|Increases the effort offenders must make to commit rape and increases offenders' risk that they will be identified
|…programs are designed to change behavior, not just increase knowledge
|It is the victim's choice whether to report a rape and identify the offender; however, colleges should strongly support reporting, even anonymous reporting
|Developing risk reduction plans to prevent repeat victimization
|Increases the effort offenders must make
|…college counseling personnel work with prior victims—without blaming them—to develop individualized risk reduction plans

Homers costly as Colon drops Mets debut to Nats
Righty gives quality effort over six innings; C. Young exits hurt
NEW YORK -- The season is long and things will change for the better. The Mets will not strike out over 2,500 times, a number they are currently on pace to reach. They will not give up anywhere close to 1,100 runs. They will not lose every game of the season.
Nor will their three main offseason investments contribute so little. Curtis Granderson, Bartolo Colon and Chris Young will all play better, because the alternative is unimaginable.
Count the things that went wrong Wednesday night: Colon lost his first game with his new team despite a quality start; Granderson descended ever deeper into an early-April slump; and Young left early with a nagging injury as the Mets lost, 5-1, to the Nationals at Citi Field. The defeat dropped New York to 0-2.
"It's not the way we wanted it to start," Granderson said.
Sharp early, Colon began struggling in the fourth, when Jayson Werth and Adam LaRoche tagged him with back-to-back doubles to plate a run. An inning later, Ian Desmond and pitcher Gio Gonzalez each hit solo homers to give the Nationals all the offense they needed. By the sixth, Colon had thrown 110 pitches, given up nine hits and walked to the bench in line for a loss.
"What you saw today is not his best stuff," manager Terry Collins said, and Colon later agreed with that assessment. "I never saw, in the last few years, Bartolo pitch up so much. His ball just didn't have the depth it normally has."
Colon also came up short in his most critical plate appearance, unable to lay down a sacrifice bunt with a man on first and one out in the fifth. The next batter, Juan Lagares, hit a double to left, but the inning ended when Bryce Harper threw out Ruben Tejada trying to score from first.
So it went for the Mets, who came up short in every aspect of the season's second game. Shouldering the heaviest offensive burden was Granderson, who finished 0-for-4 with two strikeouts and is 0-for-9 with five whiffs on the season.
But Granderson was far from alone. Other than Lagares, who tripled and doubled as the leadoff man, and David Wright, who plated the team's only run with a sacrifice fly, the Mets were positively punchless against Gonzalez and the Nationals' bullpen. Striking out 13 times, the Mets increased their total to -- according to the Elias Sports Bureau -- a Major League-record 31 whiffs in the first two games of the season.
"Certainly we've got to do a better job of putting the ball in play with two strikes, there's no doubt about that," Collins said.
The Mets' other significant issue was Young, who debuted after sitting out Opening Day with a mild right quad strain. He didn't last. Playing left field in the top of the first, Young aggravated the injury while chasing down a LaRoche foul ball that went out of play, departing after meeting with the training staff back in the dugout.
"It's the last way you want to come with a new team," Young said. "I feel terrible about it. At the same time, you can't control it. It's not where I want to be right now, but all I can do is try to get well as fast as possible and continue to support my teammates. It's just tough to be in this position right now."
It is indeed a trying time to be a Met. Though starting pitchers Dillon Gee and Colon each performed adequately in their season debuts, every Mets reliever not named Jose Valverde has struggled. Things are no better over by the bat rack, where Granderson, Travis d'Arnaud, Josh Satin, Wilmer Flores, Eric Young, Ike Davis and Lucas Duda are a combined 0-for-31. Through two games, the Mets are simply not making contact, and are not doing anything else quite well enough to make up for it.
But it is only two games, they know, and the Nationals are one of the best teams in the Majors. Things will improve. Simple logic dictates that they must.
"Two games in, it's not anything to throw up a white flag over," Collins said. "We've got a long way to go. We've got to get going, and we will."

#Ethiopian #AllemagneForDelivery #Ethiopia #About Ethiopia #AlcopeEgyptian president, Abdel Fattah el Sisi concluded a joint press conference with his Ethiopian counterpart by seeking the strongest reassurance concerning the latter's dam project on the Nile. Talks over the Grand Renaissance Dam, Ethiopia's $4 billion hydroelectric project, have been deadlocked for months. Ethiopia's prime minister, Abiy Ahmed was in Egypt for a two day state visit to conclude the resolution of the dispute over the Nile project, following the establishment of a joint scientific committee to handle the matter last month. displayAdvert("mpu_3") We will take care of the Nile and we will preserve your share and we will work to increase this quota and President Sisi and I will work on this. At the end of talks, the two leaders held a news conference, where Sisi asked Ahmed to swear to God before the Egyptian people that he will not hurt Egypt's share of the Nile. "I swear to God, we will never harm you," Ahmed repeated the words in Arabic after Sisi, who thanked him for releasing jailed Ethiopians. The two leaders signalled their commitment to mutually benefiting from the Nile's waters and cooperate in other projects. "We have come a long
