Darvish stymies Yankees for win
Hiroki Kuroda was impressive on the mound for the New York Yankees.
Only problem for the Bronx Bombers was that Kuroda's fellow countryman, Yu Darvish, was even better pitching for the Texas Rangers.
Darvish is getting better every start and may be getting to a point where he will have a hard time topping himself, after striking out 10 and pitching into the ninth inning of a 2-0 victory over the New York Yankees on Tuesday night.
"You hear a lot of guys get hyped and he was everything that you'd heard," Yankees first baseman Mark Teixeira said. "We had a game plan to make him throw strikes, and he definitely did that. If you tried to be patient you're down 0-1, 0-2. If you tried to be aggressive every pitch seemed like it started in the zone, then moved out of the zone."
Over their previous eight games, the Yankees had hit .380 with seven doubles, four home runs and 43 RBI with runners in scoring position.
They loaded the bases with no outs in the third against Darvish without scoring. Then after Robinson Cano's leadoff double an inning later, the 25-year-old right-hander in only his fourth major league start needed only seven pitches to get two strikeouts and a groundout.
"We wasted a good start," Teixeira said. "Yu pitched well, but Kuroda pitched really, really well, too."
Ian Kinsler put the Rangers ahead to stay when he led off the first with a deep homer to left center off Kuroda (1-3), who limited Texas to two runs and five hits over 6 2-3 innings.
The 37-year-old Kuroda, a righty in his fifth season in the majors, struck out five and walked one. Of the Rangers other 15 outs against him, 12 came on grounders and there were two popups.
But Darvish (3-0) had the longest scoreless outing by a Rangers pitcher against New York since Bob Tewksbury's complete game shutout in July 1995.
In only the seventh-ever MLB matchup of Japanese starters, he got through 8 1-3 scoreless innings even while allowing seven hits.
Effective with his large array of pitches, including a fastball in the upper 90s and several biting breaking balls, Darvish had a season-low two walks, and the 10 strikeouts were the most by a Texas pitcher this season.
"He just keeps getting better every time he takes the ball. Tonight, he used everything he had, and he was effective, very effective. He's getting more and more comfortable," manager Ron Washington said. "He was pounding the strike zone. That's what you have to do against that team. He threw everything but the kitchen sink at them."
Washington was going to give him a chance to finish the game but pulled Darvish after Nick Swisher's one-out single on his 119th pitch, his 82nd strike.
Joe Nathan needed only one pitch to coax a game-ending double-play grounder by Raul Ibanez. It was his fifth save in six chances, closing out the Rangers' first shutout victory over the Yankees since Aug. 16, 2000.
The Yankees had the bases loaded in the third after Derek Jeter reached on a bunt single. Darvish initially failed to field the ball, apparently expecting someone else to get it.
But Darvish then got Curtis Granderson out on a called third strike before Alex Rodriguez grounded into an inning-ending double play.
"He had a full head of steam after that," Rangers designated hitter Michael Young said.
"In that situation I thought to myself, this inning giving up one run or two runs, that was OK," he said. "Somehow I have to get Curtis Granderson out. … Somehow, I just wanted (Rodriguez) to hit the ball on the ground."
After Cano's leadoff double in the fourth, Darvish needed only seven pitches to get out of that inning. Teixeira and Swisher both struck out swinging on three pitches before Ibanez grounded out on the first pitch he saw.
Darvish struck out the side in the seventh, getting Jeter on a called strike for the third out.
"He's good. You have to give credit to the way he pitched," Cano said. "He didn't miss any pitch over the plate."
Notes: The last matchup of Japanese-born starters was July 22, 2010, when Kuroda threw eight scoreless innings for the Los Angeles Dodgers in a 2-0 win over the Mets and Hisanori Takahashi. … Jeter extended his hitting streak to 14 games. Granderson has reached base in 16 straight games. … Kinsler's fifth homer of the season extended his team record of leadoff homers to 21. … Josh Hamilton had an RBI single in the third. That was a pitch after he lost control of his bat, which helicoptered and landed in fight field while Elvis Andrus stole second base. … Yankees RHP Phil Hughes is scheduled Wednesday night to make his first start at Rangers Ballpark since May 25, 2009, when he allowed only three hits in a career-high-tying eight scoreless innings. … RHP Scott Feldman, who has lost four of his last five decisions at Rangers Ballpark, pitches the series finale for Texas.

Marvin Lewis gave Cincinnati Bengals players and assistant coaches no hints Monday about whether or not he's inclined to return.
Lewis told Bengals owner Mike Brown what needs to change for him to consider staying as the head coach in Cincinnati, where he has posted just two winning records in eight seasons. The Bengals completed their worst campaign under Lewis, finishing 4-12 with a loss in Baltimore on Sunday.
Neither Lewis nor Brown would discuss their meeting. Brown said through a team spokesman that a resolution could come as soon as Tuesday.
Lewis wants changes in how the organization operates, including more control over roster decisions. He also has lobbied for years for a covered practice field -- the Bengals are the only northern NFL team without one. Lewis turned down an extension last season, saying the differences had to be resolved before he would agree to stay.
A 13-7 loss to the Ravens ended the final season on Lewis' contract. Brown evidently would like to keep Lewis -- a firing would have happened quickly Monday if the owner wanted change.
"I think he wants to be back, and I think everybody wants him back," safety Chris Crocker said. "But it's going to be a decision between him and ownership. One thing is when you lose and you don't have a good season, something changes. You don't know what's going to change."
Lewis presided over standard end-of-the-season meetings with players and his assistant coaches Monday, making sure not to tip his hand about his intentions.
"He always handles his own business and keeps it to himself," left tackle Andrew Whitworth said. "It really was just a normal exit meeting. He didn't really get on the subject."
Some players listened for subtle clues and came away disappointed. Asked if Lewis' comments felt more like a farewell or a see-you-again, defensive lineman Domata Peko said: "It was kind of mixed. It was a little bit of both. I'm not sure what's going to happen."
Same with the assistant coaches. Defensive coordinator Mike Zimmer, who likely will be the top in-house candidate if there's an opening, said Lewis avoided the topic during their meeting Monday.
"You're not going to get any of that kind of stuff out of me," Zimmer said, "so don't even try it."

In some ways, change already has begun.
A few players cleared out their lockers following the team meeting, carrying personal belongings in bags or boxes. Running back Cedric Benson -- a free agent -- tossed an orange jersey in his box of stuff and left with a smile.
Benson was the focal point of a run-based offense that won the AFC North title last season. The Bengals shifted philosophies and signed wide receiver Terrell Owens at the start of training camp, hoping to be more balanced. Instead, the offense regressed during a 10-game losing streak that tied the club record for futility.
Benson is open to coming back if the Bengals return to their run-based approach.
"I think there's a time for change," Benson said. "Now's a pretty good time. We found ourselves being very successful a year ago and kind of didn't master the things going into this year that made us successful the previous year. Somebody missed that somewhere."
Owens also is a free agent. The Bengals have a one-year, $6 million option for Chad Ochocinco, who is Owens' close friend and cable talk show co-host. The nameplates above their lockers were gone Monday. Several defensive starters, including cornerback Johnathan Joseph, also can become free agents.
The Bengals have just two winning records in the 20 years since Brown took over the team. They went 15 years between playoff appearances before Lewis led them to a division title in 2005. He was coach of the year last season for getting the Bengals to the playoffs again.
The playoff appearances were more of an anomaly, and Lewis wants to change how the front office works to place the organization on solid footing. The Bengals have never won back-to-back division titles.

In most other NFL cities, there would be no discussion of keeping a coach with just two winning records in eight seasons. But Lewis works for an owner who doesn't like change and was willing to offer him with an extension last year. Lewis' overall record in Cincinnati is 60-69-1.
The question is if Brown likes Lewis enough to give him what he wants, something he wouldn't do for the coach's predecessors.
Players are intrigued to see how it plays out this offseason.
"I do think that he's been honest in telling everyone he wants to come back," Crocker said. "I definitely think he does. I'm sure there's things he wants to change, and ownership wants things to change. I know both sides can't be happy because of the season."
If Lewis doesn't return to Cincinnati, he could fit a new home at the University of Pittsburgh, which has the coach on its short list of candidates, NFL Network insider Michael Lombardi reported Sunday, citing a league source.
The Associated Press contributed to this report.

LOS ANGELES, CA -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 04/07/08 -- SOA Software, a leading Integrated SOA Governance Automation vendor, today announced that it has certified IBM WebSphere Process Server and WebSphere Enterprise Service Bus as Governed Service Platforms. This allows customers to use WebSphere Process Server and WebSphere ESB to implement and enforce governance policies for enterprise services providing reporting data to enable a closed-loop audit process as part of their enterprise SOA.
Certified Governed Service Platform status means that customers can be confident that their platforms won't compromise the fidelity of the governance systems and structures defined in an enterprise SOA program.
SOA Software's Workbench and Service Manager ensure that WebSphere Process Server can facilitate and benefit from the core Integrated SOA Governance Automation best practices:
-- Trust & Management Mediation -- provide last-mile security, metric collection and reporting, SLA monitoring and management, to ensure that services exposed by WebSphere Process Server are governed, managed, and secured. Provide policy implementation and mediation to allow WebSphere Process Server to communicate with a wide range of mission critical business services exposed from non-IBM platforms -- Service Virtualization -- conveniently allow WebSphere Process Server to expose services to partners, and consumer partner services -- Governance Automation -- automate the publishing of WebSphere Process Server services, providing lifecycle workflow with approvals, collaboration services, and consumer contract provisioning -- Continuous Compliance and Validation -- ensure the relevance, applicability and suitability of WebSphere Process Server services -- Metadata Federation -- ensure that WebSphere Process Server services are visible to, relevant, and consumable by other platforms -- and make services from other platforms visible to, relevant and consumable by WebSphere Process Server. Automatically discover services in Process Server and publish them into Workbench subject to governance policies -- Change Impact Mitigation -- ensure that changes to WebSphere Process Server services don't cause major outages by maintaining consumer contracts -- Uniform Policy Management -- ensure that WebSphere Process Server services can be leveraged as first-class citizens throughout an enterprise SOA by complying with enterprise policies that are uniform across all platforms
SOA Software provides a fully functional Agent for Process Server. The Agent deploys into the container hosting Process Server and provides a management application, a policy engine, and a handler mechanism. The management application monitors Process Server's management API for new services. When it discovers a new service, depending on its policies it will either automatically install a mediation primitive into the mediation flow to intercept messages for processing by the policy engine, or simply register the service with Workbench. Policies are defined using the WS-Policy language and the policy engine discovers its policies using WS-MetadataExchange and reports metrics, usage and exceptions to the Workbench.
SOA Software also provides a fully functional Delegate in the form of a mediation primitive. The Delegate deploys into mediation flows for WESB and WPS to abstract them from the location, transport and other policy representations of consuming services.
"We are pleased to announce the integration of our Integrated SOA Governance Automation products with WebSphere Process Server," said Frank Martinez, executive vice president of SOA Software. "The certification of WebSphere Process Server as a Governed Service Platform gives customers confidence that the enterprise adoption of WebSphere Process Server will preserve the fidelity of the governance models, structures and mechanisms supporting their enterprise SOA program."
SOA Software and IBM
IBM customers leverage SOA Software for seamless, heterogeneous SOA Governance, Security and Management integration with their IBM Middleware infrastructure to ensure interoperability across disparate partners and platforms. SOA Software's products provide uniform lifecycle and policy governance across all existing platform investments with standards support for Governance automation and trust enablement and mediation.
SOA Software's products govern IBM's WebSphere SOA Foundation product family including WSRR, DataPower, Process Server, Application Server, and Message Broker.

In addition to the school crisis came the impact of the war in Europe and the threat to the United States. Early in 1941, city officials were called upon to preside at a very emotional program when in January 1941 the first 35 draftees were inducted from Warwick and ordered to report to Fort Devens, Mass.
The city was also faced with unprecedented pressures to prepare for any emergencies in the event of an enemy attack. Because the State Airport at Hillsgrove had become an Army airfield, and because of the close proximity of Quonset Air Base, Warwick felt especially threatened. Within a short time, 600 air raid wardens were appointed and special classes were held for auxiliary police.
Life in Warwick was altered abruptly when it was shocked by the news of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor on Dec. 7, 1941. On the following day, President Franklin D. Roosevelt asked Congress to declare was on Japan. A dazed Warwick, preparing for war but not really believing it would happen, was now faced with a new set of problems, as the outside world became important to the town. Warwick's young men and women, many of whom had never left the city, were now serving their country in Europe, Asia and Africa. A new sense of awareness affected those both abroad and at home.
It was necessary to take a different view of the world and the city. An entire lexicon of new words came into everyone's vocabulary: Iwo Jima, OPA, Blitzkrieg, lend-lease, Axis Powers, gas rationing, victory gardens, C.D., blackouts, war bonds and, unfortunately, "gold star" mothers.
Some workers who had been long unemployed now found jobs plentiful. They pooled resources and gas rationing stamps to find transportation to work in the defense plants that quickly came to the area. A large number of Warwick residents found employment building "Liberty Ships" for Rheem's shipyard at Field Point, which alter became Walsh-Kaiser, while others worked at Quonset or Davisville.
The economic prosperity brought on by the war was often overshadowed by emotional pain and tragedy as Warwick's young men and women volunteered or were drafted for military duty. Nearly every family was affected, as over 4,000 men and women from the city served in the armed forces and were in every theatre of the war.
The focus on helping with the war effort meant that Warwick would have to curtail many "normal" activities and abandon others. Building activity in the city slumped with the freezing of building supplies and the relatively high cost of construction. Warwick's free monthly rubbish collection system was also curtailed to save gasoline and manpower.
One of the projects abandoned completely concerned Warwick's Tercentenary Celebration. Plans included a number of gala events for 1942 and concentrated on the publication of a history of Warwick to be written by William Greene Roelker, president of the Rhode Island Historical Society. All plans were suspended, and the history was never written.
While Warwick' main interest from 1941-45 was in the progress of eh war and of the men and women in the armed forces, a great deal of time and energy had to be used in fighting adverse weather conditions. One of the major concerns was the limited supply of fuel and gasoline. Snowstorms in February of 1943 brought additional problems and, by the middle of the month, bitter cold and a shortage of fuel caused the closing of the city's schools. Warwick physicians reported treating 24 cases of frostbite during that cold spell.
The perennial problems concerning increases in salaries for police, teachers and city employees continued unabated and intensified as inflation quickly made fixed salaries inadequate. In addition, Warwick was faced with a new dilemma concerning the City Poor Farm at Buttonwoods. The problem took on new aspects when the State of Rhode Island passed a new public assistance law. By 1942, the old "poor farm" had but 15 inmates, with 10 of them eligible for old age pension.
Editorials in 1942 termed the city farm " a costly and unsavory relic of an era that has passed." It was hoped that the farm, along with "victory gardens," could be used as a means of alleviating food shortages resulting from the war. In at least one instance, city workers left their regular jobs to help harvest the crops when farm machinery broke down. By 1944, the city disposed of all livestock and equipment at the farm after it was learned that the farm showed a net loss of $2,053.96 for the year.

A BlankTV Feature Presentation:
Foundations - "Sickness"
About The Video:
This is the second video we've ever done and we teamed up with our friend Rae (of Wraiths fame https://www.facebook.com/wraithshc) for his first video project for it, we're pretty stoked on how it's turned out, it's got a really raw vibe to it and the location we found was absolutely perfect.
Shout out to Ground Zero Clothing for the free garment hook up!
Band Bio:
The explosive power of Foundations is turning heads worldwide. With the their sophomore release "Deceived" EP the band have set about their fight to the top with crushing songs like "Traitor" and title track "Deceived", released through BlankTV.
Foundations combine a melodic hardcore influence with the heaviness of metalcore giants such as The Devil Wears Prada and Killswitch Engage to make a sound truly unique and exciting. Not stopping there, the band consistently pull huge punches with their live show, dominating stage presence and crowd participation prove that this band are not to be ignored.
The next chapter "Honour" sees a more raw side to the band, hard hitting riffs and anger filled vocals sees the band mature into a pissed off juggernaut ready to tear the entire world to shreds.

I am part teacher, part learner. I enjoy helping others solve their problems and achieve their goals. I have a 20 year corporate background in the financial services industry. Now, I am focused on helping the Financial Services industry (a multi-billion dollar world-wide business) better serve its clients through the web. I have started a blog-based business that will bring financial advisors insight, advice, tools, and services to better use the web. I will mix my own experience in this industry with that of others to provide my visitors and clients with the best answers they can get.
My audience is made up professional financial advisors who are predominately 35 year old and older white, college educated males. They are often business owners with responsibility for the success of their companies. They are predominately US-based, but there will be an international segment as well. Most are looking for a dependable and credible source of information/advice about how to better use the web in their business. Trust is a very important to this audience. They are responsible for other people's money, and as a result, are very cautious about who they take advice from. They tend to be skeptical, but when they find something that works, stick with it.
I need a logo to go with this website: http://www.theinteractiveadvisor.com. The logo should be primarily text based, but could also may include an icon.

Travel Tips to Santorini (JTR)
Santorini and the other islands that form the archipelago of the same name are essentially the end products of a major volcanic eruption that occurred many years ago, leaving behind an interesting cluster of islands. When you book flights to Santorini, you can expect to enjoy many activities that involve a backdrop of fascinating volcanic rock.
Santorini's Must-See Attractions
- Visit a quintessential Greek island village with a trip to Oia, which is populated by white homes and domed churches
- Take a step back into time by strolling through the prehistoric city of Akrotiri
- Explore submerged volcanic rock as you scuba dive along the caldera
Hidden Santorini Gems
If you are interested in discovering the unique history of the islands in addition to lounging on the beach, you might want to visit the Museum of Prehistoric Thira or the Archaeological Museum to marvel at the treasures and artifacts.
Santorini's Pleasures
Santorini provides a unique opportunity to enjoy some of the most delicious food while looking out over one of the best views in the world, as many wonderful restaurants are located along the rim of the caldera. Of course, you should also try authentic, local dishes, such as tomato balls.
Plan Your Santorini Holiday
The busiest time to buy tickets to Santorini is certainly in July and August; however, if you want to enjoy great weather, thinner crowds and better flight deals to Santorini, consider visiting in May or June. In late spring and early summer, you can find cheap hotels in Santorini and benefit from many great seasonal cultural events and delicious fresh products. Save yourself headaches by taking advantage of FlyDoha's convenient Check-In options when flying to Santorini.

Brain Teasers
Breaking the Sound Barrier
Fun: (2.97) Difficulty: (2.32) Puzzle ID: #32913 Submitted By: bigSWAFF_69_
Trivia Trivia brain teasers have some element of trivia in them, but they are not just pure trivia questions.
A number of people have broken the sound barrier, either in a super-fast car, or in nice fancy planes. However, hundreds of years ago it was broken on horseback. How?
AnswerMany people who ride horses carry whips. They crack the whip while they ride the horse. When a whip is cracked, the tip travels faster than the speed of sound, which makes the loud snap. It actually creates a miniature sonic boom of sorts. The whip breaks the sound barrier, thus, it was broken on horseback.

Hills, Mich. - Camp Jeep®, one of the nation's largest
and best attended annual vehicle ownership gatherings, moves to
a new, centralized location within one-day's drive of 50 percent
of the U.S. population. Camp Jeep 2002 will be held at The White's
Bar W Ranch, in the Ozark Mountains, near Branson, Mo., from Thursday,
July 25 through Saturday, July 27.
Jeep has been out West and back East and this year we're
setting up Camp in the Midwest," said Jeff Bell, Vice President
of Marketing Communications, DaimlerChrysler Corporation. "With
so many more families planning to drive versus fly to their summer
vacation destinations this year, Camp Jeep 2002's Midwest location
is the perfect spot for Jeep® family members everywhere."
of the most popular highlights of the event are the Jeep 101 courses,
designed to teach owners basic off-highway driving and safety skills,
and to demonstrate capabilities of the Jeep Liberty, Grand Cherokee
and Wrangler.
are paired with experienced guides as they negotiate steep downhill
grades and encounter large rocks, log-crossings, sand and other
off-highway obstacles. Once
mastered the Jeep vehicle's capabilities, they can hit various levels
of 4x4 trails in their own vehicles.
can also visit the Engineering Village and participate in roundtable
discussions with Jeep engineers, and other Jeep owners to learn
more about what distinguishes a Jeep brand vehicle from any other
four-wheel vehicle in the world.
who experience Camp Jeep learn more about what their vehicles can
do, get a real taste for the past, present and future of the Jeep
brand, and, in the process, bond with other owners from all over
the country with similar interests and lifestyles," added Lou
Bitonti, Senior Manager, Global Corporate Events.
Jeep is one of several owner-loyalty programs created by the Jeep
Division of DaimlerChrysler. Jeep Jamborees, which began in the
1950s, are the original off-highway vacation. From the Maine Mountains
to the famed Rubicon Trail, approximately 7,000 owners participate
in the more than 30 Jamborees held each year. The excellent response
to Camp Jeep led to the spin-off of Jeep 101. Jeep 101 driving courses
are offered in cities across the nation to provide owners and prospective
owners basic skills of safe, yet adventurous off-road driving.
addition to its breathtaking new locale, Camp Jeep 2002 will highlight
new extreme sporting activities, popular lifestyle and family activities
and daily live performances by top musicians, including a patriotic
concert and fireworks extravaganza. Guests will be among the first
to drive the new Jeep Wrangler Rubicon and experience its extreme
off-road capability.
new hybrid sports arena will be dedicated to extreme sports such
as skate boarding, mountain boarding, mountain and BMX biking. Attendees
will have a chance to not only participate in extreme sporting activities,
but will have the unique opportunity to see live demonstrations
and receive guided instruction from professional, well known, Olympic-caliber
athletes in each field.
year, over 10,000 participants are expected to attend Camp Jeep,
driving approximately 3,000 Jeep vehicles.
really amazing to see thousands of people come together who share
a common passion," said Bitonti. "In fact, many Camp Jeep
participants have been coming since the very first event eight years
ago and are eager to see us in the Ozarks."
date, approximately 45,000 people from 48 states have attended Camp
Jeep. From 1995-1998, Camp Jeep was held in Camp Hale, Colo. From
1999-2001, Camp Jeep was located at Oak Ridge Estate in Nelson County,
Va. Since its inception, participation in the event has expanded
from 614 registered vehicles in 1995 to 2,300 in 2001. Each year
the event has sold out.

NASA's Apollo navigator found dead with rope around neck in Thailand
A retired NASA official who served on the Apollo Navigation Team has been found dead inside a home in Thailand, the Bangkok Post reported Tuesday in its online editions.
Police Col. Ekarat Intasueb, chief of Mae Sot police station, told the newspaper that Paul Milford Muller, Ph.D., was found with a rope tied around his genitals and waist and another rope tied around his neck, hanging from a knob of his bedroom door.
There were no signs that Muller, 76, had been assaulted, according to the Bangkok Post.
Muller appeared to have died from asphyxiation or from a heart attack after a drug overdose, police said.
Investigators told the Bangkok Post that equipment for injecting crystal methamphetamine, five methamphetamine pills and several sex toys were also found in the room.
Police suspect that Muller had been dead about three days when his body was found in the Tak province of Thailand. The body was sent to Mae Sot hospital for a post-mortem examination.
Muller, who lived in Thailand, worked for 10 years at NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory at the California Institute of Technology, and served on the Apollo Navigation Team, according to his website, mullerpaulm.com,
He also was the author of three books, including "Suicide Inc" -- described on his website as a "romantic and erotic thriller."
Police were trying to contact his relatives to take charge of the body, the Bangkok Post reported.

$11,000 and 1 Year: Off-Grid in an Oregon Forest
What can you do with $11,000 and 1 year? That's exactly what it took kayaking instructor Brian Schulz to build this Japanese-inspired woodland home on the Oregon coast. It's solar-powered, wood stove-heated, and constructed almost entirely of materials salvaged from within a 10-mile radius of the site.
The Japanese Forest House, as it's called, sits on a small organic permaculture farm surrounded by coastal rainforest. Its trim 14 by 16 foot footprint is especially impressive when you see how spacious it looks in the photos; Schulz's minimalist sensibility really opens up the cabin, from the steep sloping roofline to the open-beam wooden ceilings.
Schulz admits that in building this home, he kept it "architecturally honest" — every fastener, screw, bolt was left as-is, with no attempt to conceal the hardware. As he explains, "This ethic reflects my general dislike for the veneers of all sorts that seek to mimic things that they are not."
Almost every piece of this home was salvaged locally, and all the timber was milled on-site by Schulz. All the windows were $40 from a local dump, the French doors were found on Craigslist, and the counters are live-edge walnut slabs milled off a tree. Most of the $11,000 cost went to concrete, shakes, and insulation, and the tiny home was completed in a year and a half in Schulz's spare time.
Like it? You can rent it on AirBnB!

Baseball Announces Signing Class For 2008
Nov. 17, 2006
TEMPE, Ariz. - Arizona State University head baseball coach Pat Murphy and his baseball coaching staff have announced the signing of 26 student-athletes to National Letters of Intent during the NCAA early signing period for the 2008 season. The class features 15 high school players and eleven junior college transfers.
The Sun Devils secured commitments from players stretching across 13 states and two countries, and includes six signees from Arizona. The signing class includes 14 pitchers (9 RHP, 5 LHP), four outfielders, six infielders and two utility players.
'I'm very excited about the collection of talent we have assembled in this fall's recruiting class. Not only are these young men exceptional baseball players, but exemplary people as well,' said Murphy. 'Because many of these young men will have the opportunity to sign a professional baseball contract following next spring's draft, we do have a large signing class, relative to previous years.
ASU's four in-state high school commitments are highlighted by Chase Johnson and Matt Newman. Johnson is a right handed pitcher out of Glendale's Deer Valley High School, while Newman is an outfielder from Brophy Prep.
The out-of-state signees have its share of headliners, as the Devils received commitments from some of the nation's highest rated high school players. OF Michael Burgess (Tampa, Fla.) was the AFLAC National High School Player of the Year. IF Justin Jackson (Asheville, NC) was a member of the USA Junior National Team that took home a silver medal this past summer in Cuba. IF Josh Vitters (Anaheim, Calif.) was named Most Valuable Player of the TeamOne Cape Cod All-Star Game this summer. OF Tillman Pugh (Oakland, Calif.) is a two-sport athlete at De La Salle High School in Concord, Calif., playing running back on one of the nation's best high school football teams. IF/OF Andrew Lambo (Newbury Park, Calif.) and RHP/IF Seth Blair (Rock Falls, Ill.) are both Baseball America Five Star Recruits, as are Burgess, Jackson and Vitters.
'We have received commitments from some of the finest players in the nation; however, I am always interested in and excited about our local signees, who, over the years have made major contributions to our program,' added Murphy. 'I expect that to continue this year and look forward to their contributions - along with the out-of staters - in the years to come.'
The eligibility of all student-athletes is contingent upon admission to Arizona State University and compliance with all NCAA rules, including registration with the NCAA Clearinghouse. The early signing period began November 8.
'A lot of things can happen between now and the draft, but by the time the dust settles and school starts in the fall of 2007, I'm a firm believer that the members of this signing class will be a very special group,' said Murphy.
Arizona State begins the 2007 season with the annual Alumni Game on Saturday, January 27. Admission to the Alumni Game is free of charge. The regular season will begin on Friday, February 2nd against Southern Utah University.

Bulldogs Eager to Complete More Races
NEW HAVEN, Conn.—With more wind predicted for the weekend, the No. 6 Yale coed sailing team will hopefully be able to display its talents on the water far more than last weekend, when mother nature vastly limited the number of races at all of the four regattas the Bulldogs sailed at, including preventing any sailing at one regatta. The Bulldogs will send teams to three regattas this weekend including the Danmark Trophy at Coast Guard and the Connecticut College Invite, both in New London, Conn., on the Thames River and the Mystic Lake Invitational hosted by Tufts in Medford, Mass.
Two of the three teams of Bulldogs will head north on 95 to sail in New London, Conn., on the Thames River. Known for its shifty wind conditions that often include high degree changes in the breeze, the Thames is often an extremely tricky place to sail. Another big factor in sailing on the Thames is the current. The river is wide with varying depths creating different current channels. Sometimes half of the river has current going in one direction while the other half has current traveling in the opposite direction. The key in these conditions is to try always to be sailing with the current whether you are going up or down wind which makes tactics a huge part of successful racing.
Last year the Bulldogs finished third at the Danmark Trophy, a result they hope to improve on. Skipper senior captain Joseph Morris will sail in his first doublehanded regatta of the fall season, after sailing sloops for the first few weekends of the season. The Bulldogs are also sending skippers junior Cameron Cullman and sophomore Christopher Segerblom. Accompanying them will be crews seniors Isabel Elliman and Genoa Warner as well as junior Heather May. A few other crews are also on call in case the big breeze forecasted for Sunday materializes.
The Coast Guard Academy has two fleets of boats, one of 420s and one of FJs, which means that sailors will have to exhibit their talents in both boats throughout the weekend. The Bulldogs have the advantage of having both types of boats to practice in at the McNay Family Sailing Center, giving them an advantage over teams who only sail one type of boat day-to-day.
A slightly younger team will get its first experience on the Thames River at the Connecticut College Invitational in FJs, just up the river from Coast Guard at Connecticut College's venue. The Bulldogs are sending freshmen skippers Morgan Kiss and Graham Landy, both of whom have had very successful starts to their college careers despite the lack of wind last weekend. Sailing with them will be crews freshman Katherine Gaummond and sophomore Eugenia Custo Grieg.
A third team of Bulldogs will make the longer trek to Medford, Mass., but will get to experience just as shifty conditions on the infamous Mystic Lake. The Bulldogs sailed at the Hood Trophy at Tufts' venue last weekend, giving them some insights into sailing on the lake as well as piloting Tufts' special fleet of Larks. The Larks are college sailing's fastest boats and with the addition of flat top mains, they allow for races to be completed even in very minimal breeze.
The Bulldogs will be represented by skippers sophomore Max Nickbarg and senior Robert Struckett and crews senior Margot Benedict and freshman Sarah Smith. The Bulldogs will also get the opportunity to be coached by Kate Hagemann '09, an All-American skipper and National Champion, who lives and works in Boston.
All racing will begin at 9:30 a.m. with sailors up and down the east coast crossing their fingers for the return of some breeze.

To keep the discussion enjoyable for all Angel Beats fans, please follow the guidelines below and stay on-topic!
Note: Please don't use this for the specifics (i.e. episode, chapter, game, etc. discussion) there are other threads for that stuff.Thread Guidelines
Note: Please note that considering how Hinata is much more fleshed out in the Light Novel/Manga, it is very likely that discussions regarding that content will emerge.
Although it isn't revealing any future content of the anime medium, it doesn't mean everyone has read that content yet. So please use spoiler tags, properly labeled with something like "Novel/Manga" or "Track Zero".

Since Hinata had short hair when he got his crack from his baseball coach, he either died quite a while after quitting the baseball team (I'm pretty sure they made him keep his hair short), or he died with it short and he's been in the Afterlife for quite a while. Not a surprise, since he's got his own little prequel series in the illustrated stories.

I really like Hinata, firstly because of his friendly attitude over Otonashi was always thrown as a joke in the anime. But he became my favourite Angel Beats male character especially since.....
Spoiler for Novel spoiler ch 1:
Also i found his Yurippe Index funny. Such a romantic guy....
I hope they will animate the novel soon since it would be too awesome to miss

So the mods finally caved and created a Hinata discussion thread.
So yeah... That Hinata guy... He's a cool dude, especially when he's standing in the window towards the end of Episode 5 with Otonashi. Badass scene is badass.

They really tried to hide it in the anime. But it's true that up to ep 5, instead of the obvious Noda, Hinata was the one who actually always been around Yurippe.
He's such an ordinary looking guy. But what's a surprised how much a core member he is...

Hinata~ I love this guy so much, especially after reading the novels. After that he sealed my spot for favorite character, and in each episode of the anime I find myself liking him more and more. He makes me laugh so hard.

I haven't read the novels, but in the anime, I like him. Anime-wise, he's possibly one the best supporting male characters I've seen in a long time. Sure he's the stereotypical idiot, but he's funny, easy to relate to and has several memorable lines... mostly along the lines of insinuated yaoi. Pity episode 3 was probably his spotlight episode, I'd like to see more of him in the anime spotlight.
I personally think he goes greatly with Otonashi, kind of like a bridge between Otonashi's realistic point of view and Yuri's enthusiasm. In fact, I was getting really annoyed towards the end of episode four, dreading that if he disappeared, Angel Beats! would get a lot less entertaining.
One of the reasons I'm grateful for Yui.

I wish that he will go up and give Yuri a hug after that event in ep 6. Maybe somewhere behind the screen. Then Otonashi will have a puzzled look on his face. And Noda or someone will say: "Don't be surprised, he knew her before any of us"
Then every anime-only audience would have a puzzled look on their face. Because they all thought Yuri is a part of Otonashi's harem
PS: sorry Otonashi, just one chapter of novel and for me you are completely shadowed by Hinata =/

Wow, Hinata previous main character?
I'm pretty stumped, usually in animes the supporting male character is a complete fool for joke purposes only. And while Hinata is quite funny, I haven't seen in a while another male cast who is actually "normal" as well as the protaganist. *Is shocked.*
Guess i'm getting used to the typical anime trend. In anycase <3 Hinata. And second has to be TK for being so badass.

Paprika Potatoes Recipes
Pommes Rissolees (French Browned Potatoes)
Pommes rissolées are a French classic. They are crisp, cube-shaped, pan-fried potatoes flavored with herbs.
I made one batch the traditional way by cooking it in duck fat, but for the vegetarians in our house, I made a similar version with a combination of oil and butter. I added ground saffron and a hint of cayenne pepper for color and flavor, which are non-traditional but really enhance the final result.
We had a huge bag of potatoes left from Thanksgiving grocery shopping and I couldn't think of a better way to finish them off. I hadn't made this French classic for the family since our last visit to Paris. It immediately took us all back in time to the open air markets, the Rodin Museum, and the picnic we had in the Jardin de Luxembourg. Food can be many things, and today it was a trip down memory lane. And what delicious memories they are!

James Franco to open acting school?
- Bang Showbiz
- 5 February 2014
James Franco has joined forces with Playhouse West to open his own acting school at the Sherry Theater in Los Angeles
James Franco is to open his own acting school.
The 35-year-old actor has teamed up with Playhouse West to launch Studio four at The Sherry Theater in Los Angeles, California, according to Deadline.com.
The 'Spring Breakers' star plans to run two classes every week, where he'll be accompanied by additional guests, and will teach different acting techniques and a number of projects.
The hunk - who has taught classes in filmmaking, movie production and screenwriting in the past - will watch his students put on performances and will create potential roles through the use of his production company Rabbit Bandini Productions.
Meanwhile, James is so invested in his various projects that he rarely has any time to sleep, but his hectic lifestyle eventually takes its toll and he "crashes" in inappropriate places.
He said previously: "I don't need sleep. And then you do enough of those [late nights] and you eventually crash - you know, odd places, on set, or in class, or wherever."
Despite juggling many different careers ranging from an actor, director, professor, PhD student and artist, James still has some unfulfilled ambitions to cross off his list - including the stage.
He added: "I love theatre. I'm actually supposed to act on Broadway in 'Of Mice and Men'. So I think that's gonna happen. [And] I'd like to write a play."

And you all thought I was nuts about being worried about always on kinect.
I really have to wonder... Is anyone on this board actually entertaining the idea of getting this?
Microsoft has basically never (with the exception of Lost Odyssey on 360 and Phantom Dust on XB) catered to my tastes, and the type of experience they cultivated with 360
The real biggest RPG the Xbox got was Knights of the Old Republic, possibly followed by the sequel although given the state that was released in and the mods on PC it's better to go PC there. Well, it is too for KotOR1, but not as big of a deal.

Well since I bought the car on Friday buying another is out of the question! Well thanks for the answers, looks like I'm stuck without text message reading. No great loss but would have been nice if I could have added it. The mk2 focus seemed loads easier to mod than the mk3. I was looking at adding cruise control and auto lights but it seems they are a royal pain too!
you are just the bearer of bad news! haha I have a cunning plan! I will "borrow" the stereo from my Mums and see if it works in my car. If so then it is all in the stereo... I will report back on my findings! anybody selling a sony stereo with Sync? :)
Devastated! Is the hardware just part of the stereo as I am looking at upgrading to the sony headunit. So if i can find one with Sync I should be good to go?
Controls are in the gap. I don't see any "sync" settings in the menus. I am pretty sure I don't have it at the moment but I was wondering if it is just a software update that is needed?
Broken Heated Windscreen - Passenger Side
quadrophenic replied to 19pedro95's topic in Ford Focus ClubThis happened to mine, it is a terrible design as the wiper mechanism can rub on the cable and eventually just sever it. from my experience there is no fix if the cable is cut. Thankfully I developed a "chip" in my windscreen and had to get a new screen fitted on my insurance. :)
Ford Audio Vs Ford Sync
quadrophenic posted a topic in Ford Focus ClubHi Guys, I have just traded in my 57 focus ghia for a shiny 62 mk3 Zetec S and I love it with all of my heart! lol However I have a question about the bluetooth system. I have an iphone 6 and it connects fine, I can make and receive calls etc however my Mum has a 13 plate zetec and hers reads text messages. My question is how do I tell if my stereo is "sync" compatible and if it is, is it just a case of a software update at a dealer? When I search for devices on my phone it is identified as "Ford Audio" and when I open it I don't get any options for text messages. Any ideas? Thanks.
Hi Jay, I have now sorted some new clocks but not had the time to try the reprogramming yet. My local dealer said they would do the final reprogramming for an hours labour if I can get all the prep work done before. As Art said when you plug the clocks in (they are a straight swap) they physically work, however the car will not start! This is where ford come in. I still intend to try this just need to the time to rewire my OBD2 reader so I can change the mileage to match my existing clocks. I think getting this to work may be a first on this forum!
Mk2 Cluster And Centre Console Updates
quadrophenic replied to quadrophenic's topic in Ford Focus ClubIt isnt the same procedure from what I understand. I am not programming a new key, I am using my existing key and then programming the new cluster to communicate with the ecu. It is some sort of coding between the cluster and the ECU. This needs to be done by ford. I have spoken to my local dealer and they agreed to give it a go for an hours labour, sadly I dont think I have a guarantee of success! The only conditions they gave were that I had to have the cluster ready to remove, e.g. just unplug and that they had to see the old cluster in the car to verify the mileage matches. I have the new cluster and when it is plugged in it all works fine, all the lights etc work, the display works fine just nothing happens when I turn the key. The idea is obviously to stop people very easily clocking it by changing the cluster.
Mk2 Cluster And Centre Console Updates
quadrophenic replied to quadrophenic's topic in Ford Focus ClubI agree Stoney, there is no publicly available software out there as it would allow anyone to reprogram the immobiliser! As you can imagine that would cause somewhat of a security risk!
Mk2 Cluster And Centre Console Updates
quadrophenic replied to quadrophenic's topic in Ford Focus ClubHi Dan, That is the strangest coincidence ever! I have just received my new cluster this morning! I had some trouble with a misleading ebay listing so that is the reason for the delay. Gonna try and fit soon and report back! the elm config is all explained in a different tutorial thread. Good bit of software but it cant do the key programming required so it is sadly a dealer job.
I have done my scientific test and the results prove that the mileage MUST be stored on the cluster. When I reinstalled the new cluster after driving 60 odd miles it still shows the same mileage. I have contacted the seller again and he is very adamant that it came off his 29k ST and has proof. Does anyone know for certain if a ST cluster in a 1.6 car could interpret the mileage differently? Starting to wish I hadn't bothered TBH!
Yeah my plan was to use the program to make the changes, I was aware that I could only change the mileage up that is why I went for a cluster with allegedly less miles than mine. I have a test to do to see if the seller has any leg to stand on. I took a picture of the cluster when installed now I have been driving around all week if his theory is true the mileage will be higher even though the cluster hasn't been installed! If it is not the case he is getting it back!
Thanks stoney, I have contacted the seller again and asked for proof. He could of course take a pic of another cluster which could cause me a problem! Really disappointed because it works and looks good! Back to square one!
Instrument Cluster Replacement
quadrophenic posted a topic in Ford Focus ClubHi folks, I have decided to take the plunge and I am trying to replace my mk2 instrument cluster with a mk2.5 one. I purchased a cluster from ebay advertised with 28k miles on it, when I have attached it to my car, it is reading 49k. The confusing part is that my car only has 41k on it! The guy I bought it from has tried to convince me that the cluster gets the mileage from the ECU, it is not stored in the cluster and he claims to be able to provide proof of the 28k claim. Does anyone know if his claim is correct or not? The only thing I can think of is that the cluster is from a ST, mine is just a 1.6. Could the cluster read the ecu differently as it is from a different size engine car? Thanks
Ford Focus 06 Heated Screen Drivers Side Failure Real Reason
quadrophenic replied to k992511's topic in Ford Focus Guidesmy car has just developed this fault and i have removed the covers etc to find the ribbon has ripped but unfortunately it is very close to where the ribbon joins the screen so its hard to get to. can the ribbon be removed from the windscreen? has anyone had any joy out of complaining to ford? UPDATE: I thought I would chance my arm and call the company that installed my new windscreen in January this year. They are now going to replace the whole screen under warranty! HAPPY DAYS! Excellent customer service! No soldering for me this time!

Wanna sue somebody? Then go west and chase an ambulance — or food truck — into California's ill-famed Food Court and behold a cash cow waiting to be milked and bilked.
The lawyers are tripping over each other in the Northern District of California — bravely fighting for their spot in the legal queue as they expose the hell unleashed on the American consumer through product labeling terms such as organic, sugarless, no sugar added, low-cal, and 100 percent natural.
Hershey chocolate, Twining's tea, Chobani yogurt, Trident gum, and basket of others are in the firing line, accused of defrauding and tricking Americans.
From Fox & Hounds: "The number of consumer fraud class actions brought in federal court against food and beverage companies has skyrocketed in the last 5 years. In 2008, there were roughly 19 cases. That number jumped to 102 in 2012. Where are the vast majority of these cases being filed? California."
The American Tort Reform Association puts the Northern District of California on the top rung of its list of Judicial Hellholes.
The trial lawyers, having exhausted the old boilerplate suits involving Cheeto dependence and Twinkie addiction, have moved on to challenging the "hawking of granola bars, fruit juice, and green tea as being good for you." As William Stern, a partner with Morrison & Foerster (a firm which is trying to get several food suits booted) tells Businessweek: "Hyper-technical does not begin to describe this litigation. Trivial might be a better word."
Paul Barrett, writing a sharp column in Businessweek, offers this example of a California suit involving Trident: The gum is advertised as "sugar free." However, the plaintiff's allege the "Term is improper unless the label also says 'not a reduced-calorie food' or 'not for weight control.'"
Does it pay off for the plaintiffs? It sure did in 2009 when Dannon settled a case involving yogurt digestive claims for $35 million.
Shred of Hope
From Businessweek: "In every competitive marketplace that's ever existed, colorful and even exaggerated claims have been a largely harmless part of virtually every sales pitch," says Darren McKinney, the association's [ATRA] spokesman. The Food Court cases, he says, are the invention of plaintiffs' attorneys who imply that their own clients "are imbeciles who can't read the list of ingredients, which are right there on the label, along with the 'all natural' claims, or whatever the plaintiffs are all worked up about."
What will the future hold as litigation plays out in the Food Court? Maybe the legal horizon isn't so dark; a shred of hope from Bloomberg Law: "To date, the court has not shown itself to be an automated device, finely tuned for separating defendants from their money. Defendants have a number of tools to defend these cases, and plaintiffs' counsel face a range of long term risks. As this wave of litigation matures, it will probably lose momentum as claims founder on lack of proof, lack of actual harm, and, inevitably, by shifting attention to other kinds of products."
A shift to "other kinds of products?" Maybe there's still room on the legal buffet for Cheeto dependence and Twinkie addiction after all.

Argentine football is a cauldron of high-emotion and spectacular football, with countless spectacular goals being scored – GMS have put together the best of them.
The Torneo Inicial begins in under a month, so there is still a bit of time to fill before we get our fix of fresh footy goodness.
What better way to while away the hours by watching some of the best goals from the previous season? There isn't one, that's what.
Velez Sarsfield were Super Champions and they have an entry in the top goals compilation, with a screamer from Lucas Pratto at an acute angle from about 30 yards out on the left.
GMS's favourite was San Lorenzo star Hector Villalba's amazing sprint from near one of his own corner flags into the opposition area and crashing the ball into the roof of the net.
However, the star of the reel is Jorge Luna, now of Independiente, with two long-range belters for San Martin.
Sit back, relax and enjoy the Festival of Goal in the video above.

And you thought shopping for your family was hard. Try buying groceries for 19 kids — plus grandkids! We're imagining an army of Duggars running around the grocery store — kind of like that old game show Supermarket Sweep (anyone remember that?!).
Well, Michelle Duggar of the TLC show 19 Kids and Counting told Today that they spend about $3,000 on groceries a month to feed their hungry brood. Michelle said that they do one big grocery shopping trip a month, plus smaller weekly visits.
According to Today, a typical Duggar shopping list for just one day includes:
3 dozen eggs
5 lbs. of turkey bacon
20 biscuits
10 oranges
4 lbs. of grapes
3 loaves of whole wheat bread
4 lbs. of sloppy joe meat
3 lbs. of green beans
3 lbs. of potatoes
2 watermelons
2 family-size bags of lettuce
4 lbs. of spaghetti noodles
3 loaves of French bread
2 pans of brownies
1 gallon of vanilla ice cream
That's a ton of food! How does your grocery shopping budget compare to the Duggars?

Biden faults Romney for not releasing tax returns
LAS VEGAS (AP) -- Vice President Joe Biden denounced Republican presidential challenger Mitt Romney on Tuesday as a candidate with something to hide.
Biden, campaigning for President Barack Obama in the battleground of Nevada, told Hispanic leaders that Romney doesn't live up to the openness that his father represented when he ran for president 44 years ago. The vice president said Romney's father, George Romney, released 12 years of tax returns when he unsuccessfully sought the Republican nomination in 1968.
In a speech to the annual conference of the National Council of La Raza, Biden accused Romney of releasing only one year of his tax returns, "making a lie of the old adage: Like father, like son."
Romney has released his 2010 tax return and an estimate for 2011.
Biden said Romney's father "released 12 years of tax returns because, as he said, 'One year could be a fluke, perhaps done for show."'
Biden added, to applause from the audience, that Romney "wants you to show your papers, but he won't show us his!"
The remarks underscored the Obama campaign's latest effort to portray Romney as secretive and highlighted Romney's past hardline immigration stance.
Maria Castro, an 18-year-old recent high school graduate from Phoenix, echoed Biden, saying of Romney: "I think it's hypocritical that he is holding the immigrant community accountable, but he won't be held accountable."
La Raza is a national Latino advocacy and civil rights group. Some in the crowd said they supported Obama in 2008 and planned to do so again this year.
Romney campaign adviser Hector Barreto accused the Obama campaign of "desperation" with an attack aimed at diverting attention from unemployment and jobs.
"They have to change the subject," Barreto said at the NCLR conference. "Jobs and the economy are the foremost issues in everyone's minds, especially Hispanics."
In a statement, Barreto and Florida state Sen. Anitere Flores pointed to recent reports showing the jobless rate nationally still above 8 percent, and Barreto called the situation "precarious" for Hispanics, with almost 1 in 3 between the ages of 16 and 19 unable to find work.
Flores accused Obama of breaking a promise to reform immigration in his first year in office as "yet another broken promise to the Latino voters who helped elect him."
Biden's speech soared from whispered remembrances about growing up in a middle class home to warnings about what a Romney presidency would be like to an exhortation to the crowd to support Obama.
"Close your eyes and imagine what the Supreme Court will look like after four years of Gov. Romney," Biden said. "Imagine what it will act like. Imagine what it will mean for civil rights, voting rights, and for so much we have fought so hard for."
After the luncheon address, Biden made an unannounced visit to a U.S. Vets Inc. retraining center in downtown Las Vegas, where he and his wife, Jill Biden, shook hands and chatted with 32 veterans and several life skills instructors and administrators of the nonprofit agency.
"Housing, you deserve. Help, you deserve. It ain't a handout. No one's doing you a favor," he said. "You deserve everything we can do for you."
The vice president and his wife were due to travel later to Utah, where Biden was scheduled to host a campaign fundraiser at a private home in Park City, Utah, and Jill Biden was scheduled to meet with military families at an Air National Guard base in Salt Lake City.

Inspiration + Design: The Birth of Lumio
After a career at Gap Inc., in Architecture & Design Development, Max Gunawan decided that what he really wanted to do was to bring great design to everyday objects. He felt an urge to work with his hands, to connect and to collaborate with people. And judging by the success of his two-week old Kickstarter project for Lumio — a modern lamp with infinite possibilities — he has done just exactly that.
I sat down with Max to learn about his stunning new project at the Makeshift Society — a clubhouse for creatives in San Francisco, where we both co-work.
Though he originally wanted to build something much larger — a folding, modular house — he quickly realized that this goal would require a significant amount of start-up capital. So, he started thinking on smaller terms. He'd been inspired by the spectacular Rolling Bridge in London, which unfurls across Grand Union Canal every Friday at noon.
And then, one day when he was flipping through his Moleskine notebook, a task he'd done thousands of times before, inspiration became innovation: the idea for Lumio struck. He ripped out the inside of that notebook, and set to work. Four months later, he had a working prototype for Lumio: an illuminated, portable lamp that turns on and off when you open or close it, and conveniently folds into a book when it is not in use.
When I asked Max how he felt after doing what he'd set out to do — to build something, to create something that he could be proud of, to connect with people — he said it had been "amazingly satisfying." As we chatted across a metal school-like desk, Lumio shining brightly between us, curious co-working colleagues crowded around us to see what this flickering on-and-off light was all about. "It's that element of surprise," Max said. "It's not what you expect when you look at a book."
With an initial fundraising goal of $60,000, Max's kickstarter project has already raised $337,558 from 3,079 backers. The Lumio weighs about one pound, has an eight-hour battery, and the portable, collapsible lamp will retail for about $135.

WASHINGTON, May 1 (UPI) -- Social media company Facebook said it wouldn't put an ad on its website critical of the Keystone XL pipeline because it included CEO Mark Zuckerberg's image.
Mobile carrier CREDO Mobile, a company that's been critical of the Keystone XL pipeline, had an advertisement critical of the pipeline rejected by Facebook.
CREDO tried to publish an ad that featured Chief Executive Officer Zuckerberg's image along with the words "Hey Zuck, Pull your ads supporting Keystone XL."
Facebook policy dictates that ads depicting the CEO's image could mislead users from thinking they're from the company or Zuckerberg directly.
CREDO political director Becky Bond told The Washington Post that Facebook was over-reaching because it meant that "you can't use Facebook ads to talk about what Mark Zuckerberg is doing."
Zuckerberg's lobbying group Fwd.us has backed U.S. Sen. Lindsay Graham, R-S.C., a supporter of the Keystone XL pipeline. Washington Post Chief Executive Officer Donald Graham is a member of the social media group's board of directors.
Canadian officials visited Washington recently to press for the pipeline. It would need federal approval as a cross-border project.
Supporters of the pipeline say it would provide economic stimulus and ensure North American energy independence. Opponents say oil sands, the type of crude oil designated for Keystone XL, is more corrosive to pipelines than conventional crude oil.

The Meaning of God's Will (pt. 5)
from R.C. Sproul May 29, 2009 Category: ArticlesPursuing knowledge of the will of God is not an abstract science designed to titillate the intellect or to convey the kind of knowledge that "puffs up" but fails to edify. An understanding of the will of God is a desperately important matter for every Christian seeking to live a life that is pleasing to his or her Creator. It is a very practical thing for us to know what God wants for our lives. A Christian asks, "What are my marching orders? What should my role be in contributing to the establishment of the kingdom of God? What does God want me to do with my life?" lt is inconceivable that a Christian could live for very long without coming face-to-face with these gripping questions. Keep Reading

Two Kingdoms, One God
from Keith Mathison May 27, 2009 Category: ArticlesWithout a doubt, the greatest theologian in the first thousand years of the church was Augustine of Hippo (354-430). His voluminous theological, exegetical, and devotional writings have had a lasting impact and continue to be studied to this day. One of Augustine's greatest works is The City of God, written to defend the Christian faith from its pagan attackers as the Roman Empire was collapsing. It is one of the most influential books ever written. The City of God is available in a number of English translations, but one of the clearest and most readable is the translation by Henry Bettenson in the Penguin Classics series. Keep Reading
Love Letters
from R.C. Sproul Jr. May 26, 2009 Category: ArticlesIt is a strange habit, though I am often caught in its grip. Why is it, I wonder, that we find ourselves so often longing for those days of the early church? Where did we begin to confuse the descriptive with the prescriptive, using what was the church once upon a time as a guide to what the church should be in our own day? The source of this foolishness is likely more Rousseau and likely less the Bible. Rousseau was the father of the modern Romantic movement who argued that man is basically good and that it is the debilitating effects of culture that always make things worse. The more primitive we can get, the better off we will be. Buying into that template, we find the early church to be our ideal. Keep Reading

Voluntary Human Extinction MovemenT
"May we live long and die out"
"Phasing out the human race by voluntarily ceasing to breed will allow the Earth's biosphere to return to good health".
While surfing the web the other day, I ran across VHEMT. Never heard of it, so of course I looked. Imagine my surprise. They are advocating the complete extinction of the human race, done through no procreation. Plenty of sex, just no more pregnancies. I mean as an atheist, I believe not only in evolution, but in our place in nature. We are a part of nature, one end product (as of now) of evolution. The urge for procreation is a biological imperative, but we also have a mind, which can make us go beyond our biological programming and act altruistically, as it were. Since most species on the planet have become extinct (as high as 98% in some studies I have read, of all species ever to exist on the planet), our turn is coming. Whether selected by nature, or at our own hand. So should we let "nature take its course", or help it along by voluntarily exterminating ourselves?

"I am not generalizing when I speak of people being like monkeys.."
Me neither, we are primate, apes, monkeys …just as we are Smiths, Jonses and McGillicuddys.
Qualitatively and quantitavely controlled breeding is certainly a possibility. However, the planet will be a far better place when the population reduces to the level of one-third of the present size. Human extinction is only a sensationalised idea. Humans are too ingenious to be extinct.
The worlds human population is 7 billion.
Vermin often occurs where a particular species occupies an unassailable niche in a territory and begins to multiply at the expense of other plants and animals. On this basis Homo Sapiens can be regarded as vermin on a withering planet.
With a human population significantly reduced the planet could begin to recover.
New to group. Hello, all.
Throwing out a subject that kinda fits into anti-evolution.
I was watching a program about the collapse of our (world wide) modern society. Scientists are saying, we could easily have a collapse of modern society that would throw us into a new Dark Age that would make our know past Dark Age look like a day at the beach. Millions (maybe Billions) would die trying to survive without any modern conveniences or in fighting for these conveniences. While human evolution would continue (slowly), the world would be thrown into chaos and the population would be diminished.
Historically, we have seen ALL great empires and societies fall. Have we learned from their mistakes? Some people say there is a common thread between our modern society and the Roman Empire (as well as others empires) As the Roman Empire fell, so could our world society fall/fail in the same way, just on a massive scale.
