First, there were Burry's Fudgetowns. Then, Dare Chocolate Fudge Cookies. Now, Nabisco's Oreo Fudgees.
And, coming soon to a cookie jar near you: Fudgies, the cookie for grownups who like to play with their food.
You know who you are. You're the one who breaks apart the Oreo in order to eat the top cookie first, then the bottom cookie with its thick layer of sumptuous icing. You pick the toppings off pizza—mushroom by pepperoni slice by olive. And then there's the appearance of your inner artist every time you grab the can of Reddi-wip…
I grew up with Fudgetowns. Crisp chocolate cookies. Rich, dark fudge filling. Best of all, a hole in the center perfectly sized for a kid to poke her finger through. Which I did, creating both a cookie "ring" to wear on my finger, and a fingerful of fudge.
Alas, Burry's Fudgetowns are no more. Dare fudge cookies come close, but only one cookie in the sandwich has a hole—not so good for finger-poking.
And Oreo Fudgees have no holes at all.
What's a cookie apprecianado to do? Recreate Fudgetowns, in a version large enough to poke my adult finger through.
Introducing Fudgies. Finger-poking, filling-scraping, finger-licking fun for grownups.
In the absence of the late lamented Burry Fudgetowns, I went to Plan B for inspiration: Dare fudge cookies. The hole in their centers doesn't go all the way through, thus preventing the poke-through maneuver. But the texture and taste of cookie and filling are quite similar to the original.
How do you get that extra light, crisp-crunchy texture in a cookie? Ammonium carbonate, a.k.a. baker's ammonia. The recipe gives a baking powder equivalent, but if you like cookies with crunch, baker's ammonia is SO worth it. Back me up here, readers. Aren't those Vanilla Dreams divine? These cookies are the chocolate equivalent.
It helps to dissolve the baker's ammonia in liquid first. Since the only liquid used is vanilla, that's what we'll use.
Stir to dissolve. It's OK for a bit to remain undissolved n the bottom of the cup.
Mix the vanilla/baker's ammonia with salt, sugar, espresso powder, and butter.
Mix till smooth. This is clumpy.
This is smooth. By the way, if you read a recipe and it tells you to "cream" the butter and sugar, this is what it should look like.
Add flour and Dutch-process cocoa. Can you use unsweetened baking cocoa? Sure; the flavor won't be as rich, and the texture might be slightly altered, due to unsweetened baking cocoa's lower (more acidic) pH. Me, I use our Double Dutch cocoa, which is lively blend of Dutch-process and extra-dark black cocoas.While the cocoa itself doesn't look dark, it produces ebony-dark brownies, cookies, cake, and fudge sauce.
Mix to combine. The mixture will look very dry; keep beating.
Eventually it'll work itself into a stiff dough. If you didn't measure your flour with the sprinkle and sweep method, and used too much flour, you may find that the dough doesn't come together. That's why it's important to measure flour correctly. If your dough never comes together, despite lengthy beating, dribble in a bit of water till it does.
Scoop out chestnut-sized pieces of dough. Here's how heaped up a teaspoon cookie scoop should be—a generous 2 measuring teaspoonfuls of dough.
About this size.
Round the stiff dough into balls.
Place the balls on a lightly greased or parchment-lined baking sheet, leaving about 1 1/2" to 2" between them; the cookies will spread as they bake.
Flatten with the bottom of a drinking glass—or the pusher from a food processor. If it sticks, dip the glass bottom lightly in some cocoa.
Press the dough to about 1/4" thick.
See how much space I've left between these cookies?
Just barely enough. Caveat emptor.
Now, here's the challenge: finding something to cut out the center hole. An apple corer works well. So does a cannoli tube.What you need is something that can cut a 3/4" to 1" hole. Have it ready; you need to work quickly once the cookies are out of the oven.
Cut a hole in the center of each cookie. If you dub around and wait too long, the cookies become crisp, and may break as you cut the hole.
So, what if you absolutely can't figure out how to cut holes in the centers of the cookies? No worries; just go without. Of course, then you won't be able to poke your finger into the fudge in the hole in the center, but that's the price you pay for not having an apple corer or cannoli tube or a teeny-tiny biscuit cutter. Or...? Readers, tell us what you use to cut these holes.
A toothpick is a good tool for removing the cutout centers.
Be sure to keep the cutouts. You'll see why later.
Next, the thick fudge filling. I found, after the fact, that the cookies will stay crunchier if you apply this filling when it's completely cool. So to be more time-efficient, you might want to make the filling first, then the cookies.
Let's start with ganache: chocolate chips and heavy cream. I've added corn syrup, too. The corn syrup helps the filling retain its relatively soft texture. If 1/8 teaspoon of corn syrup in a cookie bothers you, leave it out.
Heat till the cream starts to bubble; this is easily done in a microwave.
Remove from the heat, and stir. Trust me, the filling will look VERY unpromising at this point.
Keep stirring. The chocolate will form itself into a gloppy lump in the center.
Eventually it'll smooth out. Stir in the vanilla.
Add the sifted (yes, sifted) confectioners' sugar. (Just run it through a sieve; sifting prevents lumpy filling.)
Stir to combine.
First, I set the cookies on a cooling rack, and dolloped on the filling. DUH. What do you think happened? You got it, the filling ran right out the bottom. Luckily, I'd set the rack over a parchment-lined pan.
Plan B: Put half the cookies on a parchment-lined pan. Yes, half the cookies; remember, these are sandwich cookies, so half will remain unfilled.
Use a scoop to add the filling.
Like this.
Spread filling nearly to the edge of the cookies.
Top each filled cookie with a plain cookie, pressing down gently.
Looking good. Leave the cookies on the pan until they chocolate is set, which will take several hours. Once it's set, lift each cookie off the sheet with a spatula, and serve—or wrap for storage.
Here's the Dare cookie (left) and your homemade Fudgie (right).
Dare (left); homemade (right). Pretty similar amount of filling and thickness of cookie, eh?
Remember that little circle you punched out of the center of each cookie? You can now use any leftover bits of filling to make the Smallest Sandwich Cookies Ever.
And yum again. Aren't these handsome?
OK, here comes the playing with your food part.
Save the glob of fudge filling for the end. That's what I do.

Spanish league investigates possible match fixing
The Spanish soccer league is investigating a game between first division clubs Levante and Deportivo La Coruna for possible match-fixing.
League spokesman Juan Carlos Santamaria said Friday the league is examining Deportivo's 4-0 win at Levante on April 13.
Levante issued a statement on its website saying it will "help and collaborate with any investigation.''
"I have spoken with (league president) Javier Tebas and he has passed on indications (of a fix)'' Levante club president Quico Catalan told El Pais newspaper.
Deportivo coach Fernandez Vazquez denied any wrongdoing by his club.
Following the heavy loss to Deportivo, Levante forward Jose Barkero apparently accused four of his teammates- captain Sergio Ballesteros, goalkeeper Gustavo Munua, forward Juan Luis "Juanlu'' Gomez, and defender Juan Francisco "Juanfran'' Garcia- of a suspicious lack of effort in the match.
Barkero later publicly retracted his accusations. It is not clear if the league had already begun investigating prior to leaks of Barkero's accusations.
"I only want to make public what I have told my teammates,'' Barkero said at a news conference on Wednesday. "I asked them for forgiveness, above all my four teammates, those who I accused of something erroneous. I ask Ballesteros, Munua, Juanlu, and Juanfran for forgiveness for what I have done to their image, their persons and their family, because they didn't deserve it.
"I am the one who was wrong. I accused them of something that didn't really happen.''
Match-fixing is a crime in Spain and can lead to prison time for individuals or expulsion of a club from official competition.
Deportivo is in a fight to avoid relegation. Stuck in last place in Spain's first division last month, it started a four-game winning streak that ended with the lopsided victory at Levante. The previous wins were against teams also struggling to avoid relegation - 3-1 over Celta Vigo, 3-2 over Mallorca, and 3-2 over Real Zaragoza.
Deportivo has since tied two more games and currently lies one point above the relegation zone with five games left.
"As an athlete I'm slightly offended,'' Vazquez, the Deportivo coach, said. "But I believe that we athletes have our conscience clean. I don't know about Barkero.''
Deportivo became the latest Spanish club to seek bankruptcy in January. It spent last season in the second division and would take a hard economic hit if it dropped down again this summer.
Levante, meanwhile, has lost four straight games, its worst run in two seasons under coach Juan Ignacio Martinez. The modest Valencia-based club was the darling of the Spanish league last season when it briefly occupied first place in the standings for the first time and ended the season by qualifying for the Europa League.
Tebas, who was recently elected league president, said that one of the priorities was stamping out match-fixing.
"UEFA and FIFA say it only happens in 1 percent of matches,'' Tebas told El Pais on April 28. "But if one game of the 380 played in the first and second division is fixed, it's a serious problem. The first thing we have to do is recognize it's a problem. "

Q: I heard salt is good for my pond. Can I run my water softener discharge into my pond?
Chris – Eureka, MO
A: No, that's not a good idea. Resourceful, but it's not safe for your fish. Water softening products often have additives in addition to the salt. Even at low doses, these additives can be harmful to your pond's inhabitants.
Believe it or not, there's a lot to know about salt. Here's a quick primer about the different types of salt and what's best for your fish.
Salt 101
Salt comes in several forms, including rock salt (halite), solar salt (sea salt), evaporated salt (refined salt), iodized salt and packaging salt. The first three are the kinds most commonly used in water softeners.
- Rock Salt: The most popular salt used in softeners, rock salt, or halite, is mined from underground deposits by drilling and blasting. Being raw and unrefined, you can imagine the other kinds of minerals and impurities that hitchhike along with the sodium chloride.
- Solar Salt: Commercial solar salt is produced by natural evaporation of seawater or brine in large, diked, earthen concentration ponds called condensers. Though the end product can be up to 99 percent pure sodium chloride and has become a favorite among food gourmands, the sea salt also contains minerals and other impurities.
- Evaporated Salt: The purest grade of salt, evaporated salt is manufactured using a system of pans that boil away the water from salt brine. The brine, which can itself be purified, is crystallized under controlled conditions often in plants that resemble food processing plants. The process has two steps: obtaining the brine, usually from a solution mine, and then thermally reducing it to crystallized salt.
Salt for Your Fish
Pond Logic® Pond Salt, which is a special form of evaporated salt, is the purest form of sodium chloride and is created specifically for use in your pond.
Adding pond salt to the water reduces the stress on the fish by assisting the fish's osmoregulation, making it easier for the fish to maintain itself physiologically in the water. It reduces fish stress, adds essential electrolytes, improves gill function and protects against common pond toxins. In fact, most diseases suffered by fish can be cured and prevented by simply adding pond salt.
Salt is a great addition to your pond, but careful to only apply as directed, particularly if you have plants in the water. Be sure to monitor your salt levels by using a salt tester, which will instantly measure your water's salinity.

Why you'll love this trip
The wildlife is remarkably abundant in this extreme environment. Scan the seas for seals; look out for minke, humpback and orca whales; spot rare birds on the Beagle Channel; and witness gentoo, Adelie and chinstrap penguins on daily boat trips
The spectacular terrain of Antarctica is like nowhere else on earth. Set foot on the unique plains, mountains and beaches of the white continent and watch icebergs calve into the sea
A polar plunge in Antarctic waters is like nothing else. This is sure to be one of the most invigorating swims you will ever take
Additional optional excursions allow you to see this continent from many perspectives. Explore by sea kayak, or take to the snow in snowshoes for an extended hike over the icy terrain (be sure to book early)
Is this trip right for you?
Although our ice-strengthened ships are large and sturdy, Antarctic waters can be unpredictable and rough. Some people may experience seasickness, especially on the Drake Passage and other open water crossings. Be sure to prepare with appropriate medication; there is also a doctor on board for any further assistance needed.
Lots of warm clothing, base layers, and a waterproof parka are all absolutely essential. Read the Essential Trip Information for further information on what to bring.
Depending on the weather, there will be regular excursions in a Zodiac boat for exploring and wildlife-viewing. It can get very cold and wet on the Zodiac, so make sure you are dressed appropriately and take care to keep your camera safe and dry. Sturdy sea legs are required for wet and dry landings from the boat, as well as on steep terrain, snow and other uneven surfaces. Some ships have a lot of stairs, and the handrails will come in handy when the seas are rough.
The weather plays a pivotal part in this adventure, and although there's an itinerary in place, there are no guarantees that you'll be able to do everything that is planned for. A level of flexibility and openness to embracing the unexpected are important in expedition travel, especially to such a remote area. There are nearly 200 recognised sites in the Antarctic Peninsula and South Shetlands; the places mentioned in the itinerary may need to be changed to others (which are equally interesting). We may also be confined to the ship during rough weather. The onboard library and educational lectures are ideal ways for keeping entertained.
Meals IncludedThere are no meals included on this day.
Special InformationOn arrival, please make your way through to the Arrivals Hall where our representative will be waiting for you to transfer you to your hotel.

IGN - Wii U arrives in stores soon, but why wait? Check out this early look at Mario's first HD adventure
audrey drake will give this at least a 9. At least Colin, Greg and Ryan can be harsh on their fav console exclusive.
whats so bad about her giving the game a 9 and praising it? funny how you would prefer someone rating low and being harsh on it and even consider that score the TRUE score look at it this way im a huge fan of mario, i never get tired of mario why not listen to a review of someone who likes mario the same way i do? say someone thinks mario is just copy and paste then that person should look for a reviewer that isnt that big of a fan its just funny to me people see a review that praises less truthfull than a review that is harsh
Honestly, I sort of agree with eferreira up there. I've read quite a few reviews and articles by Audrey, and she doesn't seem to have very high standards when it come to reviewing games. Because of this, I honestly don't trust her criteria, even though I'm a big Nintendo fan.
i love mario too but sometimes she praises such small changes in the series and calls it a game changer. I just want a mario 64 sequel instead of the constant new super mario games. Wouldn't you want someone else's opinion too rather than the same one on the franchise?
"Wouldn't you want someone else's opinion too rather than the same one on the franchise?" why would i want another opinion if i dont like what they like? i need to find a reviewer that has MY tastes i know what your saying and you might agree with someone who is more critical. i just want to read a review from a fan of the games, like i am a fan of them.

Yep, we got LKH25 and Halion H25 server firsts too. But we didn't get a thread about it.
I think its kinda nice to see some newer guilds stepping up, were kinda boring progression wise earlier. But still gz on lk hc kill.
I love the monthly necroing of this thread. Also I think the reason behind the xfer was their old server was being terrorized by anti-Ensidia people crashing it so the moved to Paragon's server to sabotage them as well if the haters followed.
Grats to Ensidia. Even though this is the wrong section. :P

Kylesa / Vicitms split 7" gold vinyl
This classic split 7"EP was previously released in Europe by our friends at La Familia. This revamped Deathwish version is a brand new pressing and features killer new artwork and design by Ryan Patterson (Coliseum).
Savannah, Georgia's Kylesa offer a monster of a song in "Pain And Suffering", a sample heavy punk/doom jam that calls to the band member's deep roots within the punk/crust community. Since the recording, Kylesa have gone on to release the "Spiral Shadow" album, which showed the band moving in a more progressive influenced direction. On the B-Side, Sweden's punk/hardcore mainstays Victims offer up "On Our Knees", a buzzsaw of a song recorded by Fred Estby (Dismember, etc) and Nicke Andersson (Entombed, Hellacopters, etc). And if that's not enough, Victims also plow through a version of the Kylesa's "Descend Within", the most infectious song from Kylesa's self titled album on Prank.

MOVIE REVIEW- Opie v. Opus Dei: Howard's code for 'let down'
'No one is more worshipful of the gods of cinema than I, yet I manage to keep them separate from the God I worship in a spiritual sense. When I can't distinguish fact from fiction in the movies, I err on the side of dismissing everything I see as the product of a screenwriter's imagination.
That means I don't take The Da Vinci Code any more– or less– seriously than The Passion of the Christ. Mel Gibson's gorefest aimed at the heart and gut, while Ron Howard's thriller asks viewers to engage their brains. But both are really going for the wallet.
A thinking person's thriller– you might call it "brainsploitation"– The Da Vinci Code is based on Dan Brown's controversial novel which almost every literate person in the Western world has read. Being one of the rare exceptions, I can only judge the movie as a movie, and as such I find it wanting.
While The Da Vinci Code isn't likely to shatter anyone's faith in Jesus Christ, it will make you lose your faith in sure things. How could one of the world's most popular directors, working with one of the world's most popular stars, screw up the most popular book of the new millennium?
The most effective thrillers are the simplest ones. There's a bomb on a bus that will go off if it slows down. A cab driver is forced to chauffeur a hitman on his rounds. There's a shark in the water.
The Da Vinci Code strives for complexity as it takes the ambitious tack of using the Holy Grail as a MacGuffin, the item everyone's looking for and killing each other over. The grail turns out to be something other than what you (and Monty Python) thought it was.
It takes major sorting out, but it boils down to good guys and bad guys. The Priory of Sion (good) is a fictitious secret order that protects the Holy Grail and the secret it contains. Opus Dei (bad) is a conservative sect within the Catholic Church that, in this story, is dedicated to finding and destroying the grail so the secret dies with it, because of the impact it could have on the church.
The secret, as has been widely reported, is that Jesus married Mary Magdalene, who bore him a child, and his bloodline continues to this day.
American symbologist Robert Langdon (Tom Hanks) is drawn into the struggle when a curator at the Louvre is murdered, and he's implicated. The dead man's granddaughter, Sophie (Audrey Tautou), who happens to be a police cryptologist, helps Robert escape, and they spend the movie trying to unravel secrets while on the run from, among others, Silas (Paul Bettany), a self-flagellating albino monk who does dirty deeds for Opus Dei.
Is it me, or is Tom Hanks aging into Bill Murray? In any case, he's no action hero.
Ian McKellen adds life and levity to the film's central hour as Sir Leigh Teabing, a self-described "old cripple" who's obsessed with the Holy Grail for reasons that may become clear.
Unfortunately, many things may not become clear in The Da Vinci Code because Akiva Goldsman's screenplay crams in so much detail– perhaps in an effort to avoid disappointing readers of the book– that the viewers who are coming to the story cold will wish they had the luxury of pausing to absorb something or going back a few pages or chapters to recheck some facts. (That's good for repeat business and DVD sales, of course.)
The trouble is, The Da Vinci Code is full of puzzles and riddles that should be fun to try to solve but aren't. One of the main ones is a "cryptex" that must be decoded to reveal a clue– a low-tech version of trying to guess a password on a computer. Besides not being engaging or audience-friendly, it ignores the fact that the code word should probably be in Latin.
The phrase "beneath the Rose" is interpreted so many different ways that you're not likely to care about the final version, which comes at the end of a 20-minute anticlimax after the last action sequence is over. It's preceded by the revelation of a surprise that shouldn't be very surprising by then.
The violence, especially what Silas inflicts on himself (the S/M crowd will love it!), pushes the boundaries of the PG-13 rating; but there's not much excitement in the action scenes. Howard and Goldsman– who previously teamed on A Beautiful Mind– pour on the mystery so heavily in early scenes you may still be trying to dig your way out by the end. It's hard to appreciate when a character's allegiance changes when we don't understand what it was in the first place.
Perhaps the most impressive scenes are some spectacular throwaway flashbacks to ancient times.
If The Da Vinci Code worked its pretensions would make it an above-average thriller. Since it doesn't, they only weigh it down. It's not an awful movie, but let's hope there's not a greater disappointment this summer.

I have been working on a project which used composer to manage dependencies. If you are a PHP developer and do not know about it, I think you
should learn about it. If you happen to worry about the combination in the topic, that means you are already using composer. Great.
In a project I was working on at work was using composer and composer.phar was added to the version control (we use git). Composer.phar is a binary file that would change sometimes when you run
php composer.phar self-update
I didn't like the idea of having a binary file in version call that would occasionally require a pointless commits in the history. So I went reading about what's the right thing to do. It was bit of a messy subject but finally I decided that there is no point of adding composer.phar to version control.
Also I found that composer.lock should be in version control (which was not in the project I mentioned). So here it is right from the horse's mouth.
Commit your application's composer.lock (along with composer.json) into version control.
This is important because the install command checks if a lock file is present, and if it is, it downloads the versions specified there (regardless of what composer.json says).
So you add composer.lock to version control but keep composer.phar out of it. But what about when you want to use composer.phar? You just get it with
wget -O - https://getcomposer.org/installer | php
Maybe add the instructions to the project's README file. Also add it to .gitignore to avoid accidents from colleagues who do 'git add .'
So if you were losing sleep over this, I think now you know what to do.

A new multimillion-dollar communications system that would link fire and police departments throughout Los Angeles County got some good news last week after a long series of setbacks that has forced stakeholders to relinquish millions in federal funding.
Legislation that gives the project limited exemption from environmental review passed both houses of the Legislature in a whirlwind effort to get the measure onto Gov. Jerry Brown's desk.
"We received [a] significant stride forward in Sacramento," Patrick Mallon, executive director of the authority for the Los Angeles Regional Interoperable Communications System, said at a meeting this week in downtown L.A. "We have great confidence that Gov. Brown will sign the legislation."
If Brown signs AB 1486, it will take effect immediately because it's considered emergency legislation, Mallon said.
The bill by Assemblyman Ricardo Lara (D-Bell Gardens) is designed to expedite construction of the system, which had to scrap its second request for proposals last month because federal legislation is blocking the purchase of $70 million of equipment needed to complete the project.
The agency is now putting together a third request, but time is of the essence since it's already missed spending deadlines to keep some federal grants and more delays could cost the project more federal money.
The environmental review exemption was added on Aug. 24, just one week before the Legislature adjourned for the year.
"That was a full-court effort," said William T. Fujioka, chairman of the communications agency and chief executive of Los Angeles County.
Without the legislation, Mallon said the agency would have faced a monumental challenge because construction of the first antenna site couldn't begin until the last site had cleared environmental review.
Fujioka said if that requirement had remained in place, agency members "would probably be retired" before construction could start.
The legislation gives exemptions for antennas on police and fire stations, as well as existing publicly owned transmitter sites, Mallon said.
Stakeholders, though, agreed to keep antenna sites off school grounds amid concerns from some lawmakers, Mallon said.

CARE Ethiopia knows that the impact of crises on people's lives, experiences and material conditions differ based on their gender and...
Gender and Emergencies
Gender and Emergencies
Publication info
Emergencies have different impacts on men and women and often change household and community dynamics. Women are disproportionately affected by natural disasters and face specific challenges in armed conflict. CARE is committed to working with women and girls, boys and men to free women's potential to the benefit of society as a whole.
Women are most affected by armed conflict and post conflict situations. They experience war and conflict in different ways compared to men, as victims of rape, trafficking, sex slavery and forced prostitution as well as in some instances, perpetrators of violence and participants in conflict.
- Rachel Mayanja
How we include gender into our emergency response:
- Having a gender balanced team with the ability to assess and respond to the different needs of men, women, boys and girls, and who know and respect CARE's codes of conduct.
- Applying a solid gender analysis including sex and age disaggregated data (SADD). This means we analyze the different power, roles and needs of women, men, boys and girls within the community, and how these have been affected by the crisis.
- Grounding our emergency response strategy, program design and implementation directly on the gender analysis.
- Incorporating a gender lens in all of our humanitarian programs.
- Ensuring that we monitor the different impacts of our response on women, men, boys and girls, including by using gendered indicators and monitoring tools that allow us to see and track the different impacts according to sex and age.

_Honda Press Release
Torrance, CA: Nearly 47,000 fans were in attendance to see Honda riders on the podium at round 12 of the Monster Energy AMA Supercross, an FIM World Championship series in Toronto, Canada. Team Honda Muscle Milk's Justin Brayton finished second, scoring his third podium of the season aboard his CRF450R and GEICO Honda's Kevin Windham had his second podium appearance of the season, placing third. GEICO Honda's Justin Barcia had another solid ride aboard his CRF250R, scoring his fifth win in the Supercross Lites East competition.
The Race
For a second week in a row Team Honda Muscle Milk's Justin Brayton put together an impressive ride. He set the tone for the day after laying down the fastest qualifying time in practice and placing second in his heat race. During the main, Brayton grabbed the holeshot and led the pack for the first few laps of the race. Wil Hahn joined the team at Toronto, riding the factory CRF450R during the Lites West championship break, and finished a solid 10th.
"I am really happy to be back up here on the podium for a second week in a row," said Brayton. "Being able to get the holeshot and lead for a few laps is a big confidence builder for me. I really want a win, and I know that I can run up front now. Now that I have been able to start riding a little more during the week it is really starting to come together."
Windham got away to a mid-pack start in the main and was able to work his way up to third. "It was a long week of therapy for me after my crash last weekend, but I was able to dig deep and get the GEICO Honda up on the podium," said Windham. "The track was really tough and my main focus was staying consistent and keeping the bike straight through the whoops."
In the Supercross Lites East competition, Barcia returned to the top of the podium on his CRF250R with an impressive race from start to finish, scoring his fifth win of the season.
"It is great to get another win here in Toronto," said Barcia. "I got my first Supercross win here a few years ago, so this is really special to me. It was a great night for me, and the GEICO Honda was running great. After grabbing the holeshot and getting back around Roczen I was able to breathe, ride my own race and check out."
The Focus: Troy Lee Designs
What began as the hobby of a motocross-racing teenager named Troy Lee, painting helmets in his parents' garage for his friends, has grown to become recognized as the premier shop for custom helmet paint and riding gear in the world. Troy Lee Designs is the place where "The World's Fastest Racers" go when only the best will do. For more than 30 years, TLD has been customizing helmets, and its relentless commitment to creating products that exceed the cutting edge of style, design and quality has given the company the reputation as an innovator in many different racing fields. Troy Lee Designs has since expanded into a full-force operation, offering a product line from helmet visors and graphics to casual wear and the all-new Speed Equipment Racewear. Team Honda Muscle Milk's official clothing is provided by Troy Lee Designs.

The 'Jane Goodall of Belize'
Belize Zoo provides a home for threatened wildlife with jaguars and rare birds.
Sept. 10, 2007 -- The tiny Central American country of Belize — no bigger than the state of Massachusetts — claims to have more birds, trees and plants than are found in all of the U.S. and Canada. Yet, it had no zoo, until an American woman with an extraordinary vision arrived.
Deep in the jungles of Central America, lurk wild beasts and exotic birds few people will ever get to see, especially in the jungle — which is what makes the little Belize Zoo such a wondrous place.
Watch more of Jeffrey Kofman's report tonight on "Nightline" at 11:35 p.m. EDT.
Sharon Matola bounds over a wire fence into a muddy enclosure that houses Navidad, one of the zoo's tapirs (pronounced "TAY-peer"). With her odd, very long, snout, Navidad looks like a pig that collided with an anteater; in fact, she's a tropical cousin of the horse.
"She would eat bananas till she fell over," says Matola, as Navidad snatches one banana after another, deftly curling that snout around the object her desire.
29 Acres of Scarlet Macaws, Spider Monkeys and Jaguars
In this country of fewer than 300,000 people, 40,000 people a year come to the remarkable little zoo to see Navidad and the other animals, birds and amphibians on display. All of it is the single-minded vision of Matola. Born in Baltimore, she is the founder and director of Belize's first and only zoo.
"I was astounded," says Matola. "I would go into schoolrooms when I first came to Belize, and ask kids to draw me a picture of a tapir, and they couldn't do it. They had no idea what a tapir looked like."
Those tapirs are the national animal of Belize.
The theme here, she says, is simple: "Every animal in the Belize Zoo is Belizean." You won't find a polar bear or a giraffe on display here. And you won't miss them.
In the immaculate cages of the 29-acre zoo, you will find jaguarondis, scarlet macaws, spider monkeys, the jabiru stork, and a pair of very entertaining otters who dart in and out of their pond with infectious curiosity.
Matola didn't plan to open a zoo when she arrived here in 1982. As a young woman, she worked in a circus as a lion tamer. She came to Belize to work with animals on a nature documentary — those animals would become the first residents of the Belize Zoo.
"I didn't know anything. I've never worked in a zoo. I was not a zoo person," she says, admitting she had a lot to learn.
$1 Million and a Mission to Save Animals
From its modest beginnings, the zoo has grown to more than 100 animals, 22 employees, and a budget of just under $1 million a year, all of it from tickets sales, private foundations, and donations.
It is Matola's work with the majestic jaguars that has really put the Belize Zoo on the map. This endangered species still roams in the jungle, but in the eyes of poor farmers, they are pests.
At the back of the zoo, a handsome, but ferocious, jaguar called Wild Boy is kept in a cage far from the public. Until he came here, he lived in the wild, where he was a persistent and unwelcome pest, killing the cattle of poor farmers. Matola took him in.
"He would have been doomed, because he was a repeated known cattle killer," Matola says, as she feeds him scraps of raw chicken that he devours eagerly. "The cattle ranchers are small farmers, and that's their livelihood, and how they feed their families. So, they lose any feeling of compassion for this animal … He would have been killed."
And so began the Problem Jaguar Rehabilitation Program. Through it, Matola has saved 10 jaguars from certain death. She trains them to be less aggressive, and ships them off to zoos in the U.S. With only 44 jaguars for breeding in U.S. zoos, the new arrivals are needed and welcome.
Matola would rather see the animals left in the wild, but that is clearly not an option.
"If we didn't take this animal out of the wild, he would be killed," she says. "We take him out of the wild. We change his behavior. We send him off to a zoo that is in desperate need of fresh, genetic input, to establish a healthy captive population. He lives happily ever after. The cattle rancher isn't bothered. They can view him in the states, learn about jaguars, and problem jaguar issues that face countries like ours. Who loses?"
Two of those problem jaguars have already been sent to zoos in Milwaukee and Philadelphia, with two more on the way to the U.S.
Because of her groundbreaking work, Matola has been called the Jane Goodall of jaguars, after the pioneering advocate for chimpanzees.
She says it wasn't always like this. Initially, she had to fight skeptics in the worldwide zoo community who saw her as an unqualified outsider.
"I didn't care what people thought," she says. "I knew that there was a very important need for a facility like this, and I just went head on into it. And I think it shows that you can accomplish something if you stay focused, and follow your dreams."
It's no wonder they call the Belize Zoo, "The Best Little Zoo in the World."

Jewish Defense Organizations: Lohamei Herut Yisrael (Lehi)
An acronym for Lohamei Herut Yisrael (Fighters for the Freedom of Israel), Lehi was an underground organization that operated from 1940 to 1948. At first, it was composed chiefly of a group headed by Avraham ("Yair") Stern, that broke off from Etzel in 1940. The split was due to disagreement on three main issues: (a) the group's demand that the military struggle against the British government be continued irrespective of the war against Nazi Germany; (b) opposition to enlistment in the British army, which Jabotinsky supported; and (c) willingness to collaborate, as a tactical measure, with anyone who supported the struggle against the British in Palestine.
Lehi rejected the authority of the yishuv's elected institutions and the worldwide Zionist movement, and sometimes clashed bitterly with the Haganah.
Lehi's goals were maximalist: conquest and liberation of Eretz Israel; war against the British Empire; complete withdrawal of Britain from Palestine; and establishment of a "Hebrew kingdom from the Euphrates to the Nile." In contrast to the scope of these goals, Lehi's strength was limited; it never had more than a few hundred fighters and its arms stores were meager. The disparity between its aspirations and its real power dictated Lehi's method of fighting: bold, extremist actions, intended both to obtain funding and weapons and to demonstrate that it was possible to strike at the enemy successfully.
As a result of its activities, Lehi found itself isolated in the yishuv. The yishuv's institutions condemned it and the British police hunted its members. On February 12, 1942, Avraham ("Yair") Stern, the leader of Lehi, was captured in a Tel Aviv apartment and murdered by British detectives. The remaining fighters continued to wage his war, and a new command structure was established. Terrorism continued to be the organization's guideline, in the belief that a series of painful attacks would force the British to re-evaluate the wisdom and price of remaining in Palestine.
On November 6, 1944, two Lehi members assassinated Lord Moyne, the British Minister for Middle East Affairs in Cairo. The perpetrators, Eliyahu Beit-Tzuri and Eliyahu Hakim, were caught, tried by a military tribunal, and hanged on March 23, 1945.
When the Hebrew Resistance Movement was founded in November 1945, Lehi joined it, along with the Haganah and Etzel. Lehi carried out several operations as part of the movement, the largest of which was the bombing of the Haifa railroad workshops in June 1946, in which 11 Lehi members were killed. After the Hebrew Resistance Movement broke up following Etzel's bombing of the King David Hotel in Jerusalem on July 22, 1946, Lehi continued with its harassment and attrition policy.
In 1947, Lehi decided to concentrate its activities in Jerusalem so as to prevent implementation of the partition plan and internationalization of Jerusalem.
When the IDF was established on May 31, 1948, Lehi was disbanded and its members enlisted in the IDF. Only in Jerusalem did Lehi remain an independent organization, arguing that at the time of the proclamation of independence the city's fate had not yet been determined. On September 17, 1948, Swedish Count Folke Bernadotte, a UN mediator, was assassinated in Jerusalem, and Lehi members were suspected. The government outlawed the organization's branch in Jerusalem and shut down its publication, Hamivrak. The leaders of Lehi, Natan Yellin-Mor and Mattityahu Shmuelevitz, were sentenced to long jail terms by a military court, but were released in a general amnesty.

After the game, my first thought was, "Well, Joe won't want to draw Takahashi or Reyes, so it's gotta be Jerry tonight." Turns out, it's Jerry x2!ReplyDelete
You are correct Gio! Needed a Jerry after this one.ReplyDelete
Hey Joe, great work, I have a question. How long does it take you to do one of these sketches fully?ReplyDelete
Joe: It takes me about 25 minutes.ReplyDelete
That's my guess.
If we get a sweep, can we get 3 Jerrys? Please? FROM EVERYWHERE!
Keep it up!
The sketch takes about 15-25 minutes . It's the thinking of what to do that takes the time.Sometimes more time than the drawing.ReplyDelete
Wow, well your 'thinking' is great. Some very creative and clever sketches if I may say so myself. And due to your consistency, If I miss a game I use your latest sketch to fill me in! Keep up the great work Joe!ReplyDelete

February is the hottest month in Juba, the capital of South Sudan, and Mading Ngor, a reporter and presenter for the Catholic-owned Bakhita FM, trudged his way through the heat to cover parliament proceedings last week--only to be thrown unceremoniously out of the assembly. "Before I had time to argue, four security guards pinned me to the ground and dragged me across the floor, tearing up my trousers," Ngor, a hard-hitting, critical journalist, told me.
The ensuing furor included apologies, a protest, an opinion column, a committee investigation, parliamentary debate, the banning of Ngor from the assembly, and finally, a parliamentary call to revive deliberations over three media bills originally drafted five years ago. While some journalists see the resurrection of those proposals as a silver lining, others -- including Ngor -- are worried that debate over the bills in this heated atmosphere may spell trouble for press freedom in the world's newest country.
"If they do it now, it will not be the same bills we had hoped would pass," Ngor said.
It all began, Ngor says, because he sat in the wrong place. Normally he sits in the public gallery, but as he arrived on February 6 the legislative assembly was reading out motions. "So I opted to sit in the other section in the back -- the whole row was empty." An unidentified security officer ordered him to be removed from the parliament premises. After Ngor attempted to reason with the security officer and finish his reporting, he was thrown out by thuggish force.
"This case is getting unwarranted media attention," Ngor says, given that such incidents happen all the time in South Sudan. "I remember last September the security almost murdered me for taking a picture in the assembly." Later he found that there was no official protocol banning photography in the assembly hall. Indeed, South Sudan has already developed a reputation for allowing security operatives to abuse civilians with impunity, including journalists. CPJ documented nine cases of security attacks against journalists last year; in two cases the journalists had to be hospitalized for treatment.
After Ngor was ejected, Member of Parliament Joy Kwaje, chair of the Assembly's Information Committee, apologized and promised to investigate the matter, according to local reports. Speaker James Wani Igga and some other MPs denounced the brutal action. Ten journalists marched to Kwaje's office, according to local reports, and took the opportunity to air their grievances over prior abuses. "Including a female reporter, Mary Ajit from the Citizen," Ngor said, "Security slapped her in the face for no reason some time back."
"I am of the view that this incident has set the launching of the struggle between those in the halls of power and those who love freedoms, including of expression, because what was attacked was [not only] an individual, but freedom of expression as well as the bill of rights," Chief Editor Nhial Bol of the private daily Citizen, wrote in a scathing column. The editor was admonished by MPs for claiming in his op-ed, incorrectly, that they were "celebrating the beating of our colleague."
Despite the initial round of apologies, the committee who investigated Ngor's removal quickly dashed hopes for justice. "During the investigation, we found out that Mading had more than 10 cases with the security personnel of the National Legislative Assembly," Kwaje was quoted as saying by the online Sudan Tribune. She also said Ngor had refused to identify himself after security asked, according to local reports.
Some of the committee's alleged findings against Ngor, however, sounded specious. "One of the guys [in the committee] claimed I always came drunk to parliament but I have never even met him," Ngor told me. One of the findings read out by Kwaje to the Assembly last week claimed Ngor was a freelance journalist and did not work for Bakhita FM, local journalists told me. Apparently none of the investigative committee listen to his popular morning talk show on Bakhita FM, "Wake up Juba," where Ngor conducts interviews with top political officials of South Sudan - including the Secretary General of the ruling party, Pagan Amun.
Parliament ultimately decided to ban Ngor indefinitely from the assembly after the committee's findings, he said.
Many local journalists I spoke to suspect the decision to ban Ngor is rooted in his professionalism as a journalist. Ngor's "Wake up Juba" program explores issues few journalists venture to touch, such as corruption within government circles.
Ngor grew up in Alberta, Canada, studying journalism at Grant MacEwan University. "I came [to South Sudan] as a journalist because independence is the story of the century, and I wanted to be part of that. After losing my relatives in the war I felt a sort of moral obligation to contribute to the country," he said in an interview with The Seattle Times.
Meanwhile, MP Kwaje, among others, called on the executive to bring the media bills back to parliament, local journalists said. The three proposals, which would initiate a public broadcaster, create an independent press ombudsman, and provide greater access to information, have been bouncing back and forth between the ministry of legal affairs and council of ministers for years. "Without media laws we are like footballers playing without rules, and what happens is that anybody can blow the whistle and say these are the rules -- his rules," said Jacob Akol, chairman of the Association of Media and Development in South Sudan, which supports the laws' passage.
Columnist Zechariah Manyok has concerns. "What guarantee will the media have that the bill is not going to be based on the anger of the Assembly, making it a law against the media [rather] than a law meant to regulate the activities of the media?" he wrote in the Sudan Tribune.
"It has not been easy and will not be easy at the moment for the media in the newest country," said freelance journalist Anthony Kamba, who hopes the publicity surrounding Ngor's incident will foster change. "It will only turn out to be a safe haven when the media laws are passed," he said.

Alice Ripley '85 to Perform in Broadway Tribute & Fundraiser
April 16, 2014
Alice Ripley, Tony Award-winning actress and singer and a member of DePauw University's Class of 1985, has joined the roster of artists participating in all-star tribute concert and benefit celebrating the music of the legendary composer Jule Styne. The event on Sunday, May 11, at Joe's Pub at The Public Theater, will also honor Mother's Day and raise funds for the Breast Cancer Research Foundation.
Others who will appear in the benefit, "Everything's Coming Up BroadwayWorld.com", will include Liza Minnelli, Jennifer Diamond, Leslie Uggams, David Burtka, and Anita Gillette.
Learn more about the event here.
Ripley won a Tony Award for best actress in a musical for her performance in Next to Normal.
"I was really grateful for DePauw," Ripley told Playbill in September 2013. "I think that when you're a creative artist a liberal arts school is a really good idea," added Ripley, who majored in music at DePauw.
Ripley appears in the upcoming feature film, Muckland, and stars opposite Kathleen Chalfant in Isn't It Delicious, which won Best Feature Film at the 2013 Rainier Independent Film Festival. She also appeared as herself in the series finale of the TV comedy, 30 Rock (seen above with Jane Krakowski). In 2011, Ripley released a compact disc, Daily Practice, Volume One.Back

It's been almost 20 years since the release of her smash hit, but Lisa Loeb just couldn't "stay" away from the pop rock scene any longer. The singer released her new album, No Fairy Tale, in January.
"I'd been working on a couple of grown up projects — writing songs for two different records — but the projects were going on for a long time," Loeb, 44, tells PEOPLE.
But a phone call from New Found Glory's Chad Gilbert gave Loeb the push she needed to return to the recording studio and make the magic happen. "Chad was more immediate. 'You wanna do this record? Let's start now,' not, 'Let's plan and start talking,'" she says.
"As soon as he could, we got together and going through some of my songs I'd written recently and writing [our own]."
Loeb's long absence, however, has been filled with plenty of chart-topping moments in her personal life, including her marriage to Roey Hershkovitz and the births of the couple's two children, Lyla Rose, 3, and Emet Kuli, 8 months.
Paired with the launch of her eyewear collection and her decision to branch out into the children's market — she's written a kids book and recorded two kiddie albums — Loeb has been busy keeping up with it all, but still manages to find time to tune into the music industry.
"He works in music on Conan. He has a lot of access to seeing all the new bands, so sometimes I'll pop over there and see something going on," she explains. "But when you wake up at six in the morning with a baby, the idea of staying out until 2 a.m. is not really practical."
Fortunately, her toddler's taste in music is yet another opportunity for Loeb to reconnect with the rocker realm. "My daughter's favorite bands are the Foo Fighters and Led Zeppelin," the mom-of-two says, adding that Lyla "listens to what we listen to" — under one condition.
"Some songs that are sad, she gets really emotional. She may ask us to change the song because it's too sad," Loeb shares. "We listen to all kinds of stuff … a lot of alternative and classic rock."
Luckily for Loeb, her role in motherhood has given her a glimpse into what music kids can relate to — and which songs have adults running for the hills.
"I think the most important thing to do is to tell stories that are very specific and allow yourself to be imaginative, but the lyrics are very visual and specific," she explains. "It should sound like a well-produced record – it should never talk down to kids because that'll drive parents crazy."

History of the ESA
The Economic Society of Australia (The Society) was established in 1925, with seven branches across Australia and New Zealand and a Central Council.
D.B. Copland, a Professor of Commerce at University of Melbourne, played a key role in the formation of the society. Professor Copland sought to establish good relations with the business community and was noted for his interest in the application of economic theory to practical problems.
At the time the Society formed, it opposed declarations of policy and instead focused on open discussion and the encouragement of economic debate on affairs of the time. This stance continues today, with the Society being a forum for professional discussion rather than an advocacy group.
You can read the story of how the Society came about from the Wiley archive article written in November 1923 – The Economic Society – its Origin and Constitution click here for more.

The mother of a two-year-old girl who fell between a train and a platform at Sydney's domestic airport on Sunday evening screamed hysterically for someone to save her daughter who was crying on the tracks, a witness claims.
The toddler was bleeding from the back of her head when her father and a bystander pulled her back onto the platform after she fell just before 5.30pm on Sunday.
The child was believed to be attempting to board the train with her family, including her mother, father and two young siblings, when she slipped through the gap between platform one and the stationary train.
Phil, a witness, said he was sitting on the train when a woman began screaming so loudly he initially thought someone had been assaulted.
"I got out of my seat, went outside and then noted that the lady was hysterically screaming because her child had gone down the side there," said Phil, who did not want his surname used.
"The train conductor was trying to tell the child to stay there. He went down in between his carriages, but by the time he got down there we were actually able to pull the child up. The child had reached up, and then we had to squeeze her head past the carriage and the platform."
The child's father and another bystander, Luke Foulger, who was visiting Sydney from Perth with his family, managed to grab the child and lift her onto the platform, according to another witness.
Phil, who works as a security guard and has received medical training, said the child had a large cut to the back of the head "which was bleeding profusely", and a contusion over her left eye.
He believed she had hit her head on the concrete platform as she fell through the gap.
"When we got her up, she held her father and the father was sitting on the bench ... just holding her," Phil said.
"It wasn't until then that I saw more blood on his arm, and thought 'Where did that come from?' It was coming from the back of her head."
Phil said there wasn't a First Aid kit on the platform, and he used his handkerchief to try to stop the bleeding.
He said staff initially arrived on the platform from the upper levels without first aid equipment, and he sent them back up to get some.
Phil said a staff member returned with a "tiny" First Aid kit with one wound dressing, which he used on the back of the child's head.
"The time lapse was where my concern was, and that there was no First Aid kit we could get to immediately," he said.
"If you look at Central Station, they've got a [First Aid kit] on the platform that you break the glass, but it's on the station.
"The airport line stations are downstairs, three flights of escalators, three flights or more. There's no First Aid kits available, so I waited up to 10 minutes for medical arrival because it was imminent."
Tim Anderson, the CEO of Airport Link which operates the station, said Sydney Trains and Airport Link staff immediately called an ambulance and paramedics to the station.
He said Airport Link staff brought two First Aid kits to the platform. The First Aid kits are kept in the ticket office one level above the domestic airport platform, Mr Anderson said.
''These First Aid kits are in compliance with Workcover and standard First Aid practice,'' he said.
''These kits are located with the staff at the ticket office. This is the central point of the station. In this way, staff can bring the kits to any required location.''
He said Airport Link accommodated about 11 million passengers a year, and provided first aid to to about three people a month on average.
''The current arrangements, as described, very adequately meet these first aid issues,'' he said.
''It is always concerning to see a small child fall between the gap and I encourage travellers to be particularly mindful when boarding trains with children.''
Phil said once he had treated the girl, he got back onto the train and continued his journey into the city.
He said the family had three children with them, including a baby in a harness, and a large suitcase. It was unclear if they were returning home after a flight or were visiting Sydney.
Paramedics treated the child at the station before taking her to Sydney Children's Hospital in a stable condition.

Released last year, Animoog was a triumph for Moog Music. The synthesizer app was a powerful digital tool built by legends of analog instrument design.
Beyond capturing the classic Moog sound, the parameters of the Animoog's sonics seemed almost infinitely tweakable without having overly complicated controls. The interface took full advantage of a touchscreen's potential, and the app had simple recording capabilities to boot.
In version 2.0, Animoog has been completely rewritten and expanded. The app's already solid UI has been refined so that it's more responsive. Little tweaks and feature additions help you avoid accidental actions on the screen's relatively small work space and to help simplify common tasks.
Beyond the smaller changes, Animoog has a few larger additions. The coolest, is that you can now use the the iPad's accelerometer to turn the tablet into a 3D modulator to alter the sound. In other words, Moog brought the app's 2D interface into the third dimension. Moog also added a built-in four-track recorder. That's not a remotely new feature on apps, but having a sophisticated tool you can use to record, loop, copy, paste and overdub from within the app is hugely convenient. (The four-track has to be unlocked for an extra $5.)
All in all, the synth is going to be easier and more enjoyable to use for everyone. Beginners will be able to get more out of randomly poking around, and experienced music makers will have lot more tools to put to work.
And! Animoog regularly costs $30, but it's on sale for $15 until December 31st. [iTunes]

MANATEE COUNTY — When children are taken from their homes and put into an emergency shelter, they often come with nothing more than the clothes on their backs.
Manatee Children's Services, a nonprofit that has assisted abused and neglected children for more than 30 years, uses every resource it can to provide for the children it serves.
And starting June 1, Manatee residents can pitch in to help the organization while purchasing a chance to own a valuable piece of real estate.
A $50 ticket gives you a chance to win a three bedroom, two-bathroom house in The Harborage on Braden River. The home features more than 2,100 square feet of living space, a two-car garage and lanai as well as access to a community pool, fishing pier and observation deck, among other amenities.
"We are so grateful to be a part of this, and it certainly is a testimony to the good in our community," MCS CEO Melinda Thompson said. "We live among folks who really do care, and they want to help."
The effort is being led by Bradenton resident Mary Burns, who started Dream House Charity last year as a way to combine her passion for children and vision for fundraising. The organization raffles off one donated home each year specifically to benefit Manatee Children's Services.
"I thought with real estate so bad, that it would help someone else to be able to pay off their mortgage and give the proceeds to benefit their charity," Burns said.
If a minimum in ticket sales is not met, the drawing turns in to a 50/50 raffle. Last year's campaign raised about $4,500 for Manatee Children's Services.
Burns said she picked the charity out of 185 registered nonprofits because of its wide variety of services. MCS has 11 child abuse and prevention programs, including emergency shelter, parenting classes, abuse prevention workshops, mental health services and group homes for children in foster care.
"They reach out to the ones that no one else wants," Burns said. "They do so much."
MCS is funded through federal, state and local government, United Way and private donations. About 18,000 children and adults are served through its programs each year.
The raffle for the house will last through June 1, 2010. Tickets are available through the Web site, www.dreamhousecharityfl.com, or by completing a form available at Manatee Children's Services, 453 Cortez Road W., Bradenton.
Contact Pam McTeer at [email protected].
WHEN: June 1, 2009 through June 1, 2010
COST: $50 per ticket
PRIZE: A three-bedroom home in The Harborage at Braden River (If minimum ticket sales are not met, the fundraiser goes to a 50/50 raffle)
BENEFICIARY: Manatee Children's Services
INFORMATION: www.dreamhousecharityfl.com or 201-5593
MANATEE COUNTY — When children are taken from their homes and put into an emergency shelter, they often come with nothing more than the clothes on their backs.
