Former Calvin Softball Player Throws Out First Pitch At Pirates-Cardinals Game at PNC Park
Wednesday, August 19, 2009
During her four years on the Calvin softball team, Loren Scarbrough faced many pressure-packed moments as a fulltime infield starter. None of those moments, she said, could compare to what she faced on August 8 when she was chosen to throw out the first pitch in front of a sell-out crowd of 38,593 fans prior to a game between the Pittsburgh Pirates and St. Louis Cardinals at Pittsburgh's PNC Park.
Adorned in a Pirates jersey, Scarbrough responded to the moment in fine fashion, zipping a pitch over the inside corner. The fiery fastball drew a standing ovation from the crowd - listed as the seventh-largest in PNC Park history.

Otte replaces Dr. Jong-il Kim who has decided to step down as Calvin's head men's and women's track and field coach to devote more time to his teaching as an associate professor in Calvins Health, Physical Education, Recreation Dance and Sport department and coaching of specific events as a coach with Calvins track and field program. Kim will remain as an assistant coach with both Calvin teams.

2009 Calvin Men's Soccer Schedule
With 16 returning letterwinners including five who either received first or second team All-MIAA recognition a year ago, the Calvin men's soccer team will seek to win its third consecutive league title this fall.
Over the last two years, Calvin has produced a combined won-loss record of 29-10-3 including 24-2-2 in MIAA play. A key to Calvin's success has been its defensive play, particularly in conference games. During its 2007 MIAA title season, the Knights gave up just nine goals in league games to lead all conference schools. In 2008, the Knights gave up just eight goals in league play, again leading all MIAA schools.

The senior class consists of Kelli Visser, Emily Tuuk and Julienne Louters - all graduates of Grand Rapids Christian High School. In fact, the top four for the Knights could feature an all-Grand Rapids Christian High School flair as incoming freshman Elise Doezema is also a Grand Rapids Christian product.

"As a tribe awaits resolution of a last-chance appeal to stop mining in Michigan's Upper Peninsula, an international company is moving closer to production. The Keweenaw Bay Indian Community has challenged a state permit that allows sulfide mining to extract copper and nickel on public lands in the Upper Peninsula."
"The Michigan Court of Appeals agreed to hear the case 13 months ago but has not yet heard oral arguments. In the meantime, the mine is moving ahead, with production scheduled to begin in about one year. In the lawsuit, the tribe and three environmental groups raise concerns that the mine will contaminate water, including groundwater and the Salmon Trout River, which the tribe relies on for food and spiritual ceremonies. The company, however, says it is using state-of-the-art technology, at a cost of $10 million, to treat the wastewater and prevent contamination."

Because I am a huge, talentless hack, I will inevitably end up e-mailing my editor the moment my blog post is due, begging her to give me something saucy to write about. Today she offered, "You went to the Zoo on Monday. What if you were First Lady of San Francisco and in charge of the Zoo? How would you change it?"
First of all, what the hell are you talking about? (Ed note: In my defense, I think I was recalling some article I read about, like, Grace Kelly or similar royalty who had their city-state's zoos as part of their responsibilities. Beth, I was comparing you to GRACE KELLY. So quit complaining.)
Second of all, the First Lady shouldn't be in charge of Gavin's dry cleaning, much less the wrongful imprisonment of thousands of animals.
And finally, oh my god, I'd change so much.
Valet Parking: Perhaps this was all to get us in the safari style mood, but my companions and I were forced to stalk and hunt those exiting the zoo, slowly trailing them in our late-model Buick as we searched for the impossible parking space. So, First Lady improvement #1 is valet parking.
All children should be on leashes: It sounds a little cruel, but you try going to the bathroom in the Leaping Lemur Cafe and having some sticky, filthy, yuppie spawn peeking under your stall and spilling Capri Sun on your handbag. It does not add to the experience.
Better snacks: I have no idea who's developing the menus at the San Francisco Zoo, but the options there leave much to be desired. Aside from the obvious problems with the sommelier, we were unable to discern the difference between the fish sticks and the chicken strips. Needless to say, the price was paid on the carousel.
Shopping options: I don't know about you, but I have no use for a pencil eraser in the shape of a giraffe. You know what I do have use for? Jungle-themed highball glasses. My point is, the gift shop seems geared towards, well, children. Once my leash law is instated, children would be conveniently tied to hitching posts outside, leaving the rest of us to shop in peace. With this brilliant plan in place, an entire overhaul of Zoo Shop inventory would be necessary. The options in leopard prints alone, not to mention high end fur sales (apparel AND rugs), could revitalize this under-utilized retail opportunity.
No more monkeys: Hey, I love monkeys as much as the next gal, but those chimps and gorillas didn't seem to be enjoying themselves as much as one would hope. Which is why I, as First Lady of San Francisco and apparent Zoo Keeper, would get rid of the Primate Discovery Center and fill those cages with Gavin Newsom's ex-girlfriends. Talk about seeing creatures in their natural environment. Think of how educational it would be to see Sofia Milos swinging from a tire or Brittanie Mountz eating fleas off Kimberly Guilfoyle–Vilawhatever's back.
These are merely ideas, little brainstorms if you will. But I've got to admit, now that the old editor's got me thinking of how I'd change things, I'd pay WAY more than $11 to party at the San Francisco Zoo…
Beth Spotswood describes herself as "The 29-year-old equivalent of Dorothy from The Golden Girls." She spends her free time pretending not to stare at crazy people screaming on San Francisco's sidewalks. Originally from Marin, Beth now lives in the Mission and doesn't get why people are so into burritos. You can find Beth here every Wednesday at noon, and at I'll Flip You. Flip You For Real, where "The opinions expressed are ridiculous and in no way reflect anything of value. Do not take them seriously…"

Posted on 01/10/2013 12:05:09 PM PST by lowbridge
A new video game featuring a black alien female superhero delivered to Earth to fight global warming is about to hit the market thanks to a $100,000 grant from the Obama administration.
The National Endowment for the Arts is funding the Spelman College of Atlanta, Ga.'s multi-episode game called "HERadventure." In the grant announcement made last year, the NEA said the story "focuses on a young female superhero sent to Earth to save her own planet from devastation because of climate changes caused by social issues impacting women and girls."
The game is set to debut on March 8 on International Women's Day.
The college's digital newspaper described the project this way: "What would happen if the societal issues affecting women put other planets at risk? Well, of course, HER, a black female superhero, would swoop in with a plan to save the universe.
(Excerpt) Read more at washingtonexaminer.com ...
I hope its multiplayer so we can all take turns killing her. Maybe do a Call of Duty mod and use some heavy artillary.
Is this like Medal of Honor where we can also play as "the enemy?" Can we spatter her brains on the concrete wall with a good clean head shot?
Same thought, different game....

I was under the impression that video game making was a profitable business.
Since this needs federal welfare to develop, that means that they are not expecting to sell many copies.
That all may be so, but the important thing is, would Laz hit it?
If I got that game for my kid his friends would beat him up every day.
See #27.
It will come standard on the Chevy Volt...
I actually wouldnt mind a Skyrim mod.
I have never played a video game. I would be tempted to play this one for the opportunity to kill her.
Anyone want to bet she has muscular arms, wide hips, and wears a superhero boob belt?!
Didn't something like this happen one time before?
This is causing a vague itch in my severely limited long term memory but I can't scratch it.
Such is life.
And how are we supposed to be able to help her? Is their an elderly knight living in some out of the way corner of our planet who is her only hope?
How convenient. Those who complain about this can now be labeled as racist.

After offering a decent thriller in Vaamanan, director Ahmed returns to wield the megaphone for the second time with Endrendrum Punnagai. Starring Jiiva, Trisha, Vinay, Santhanam and Nasser in the leads, the movie has music by Harris Jayaraj and cinematography by Madhie.
Endrendrum Punnagai is the story of three friends Gautham (Jiiva), Sree (Vinay) and Baby (Santhanam). The incidents taking place in Gautham's life and the way it affects their friendship and family relations form the crux.
The thick bond formed between the three friends is portrayed in a fun filled manner at the start of the movie, right from the childhood portions. All through the first half, different aspects on friendship, love and marriage are explored through the viewpoints of the main characters. Santhanam's comic timing does keep the first half going with a light hearted flow. The second half is where Endrendrum Punnagai ventures far into the storyline, as the relationships between the different characters are shown in an impressive manner. The chemistry between Jiiva and Trisha is splendid as they are a treat to the eyes in the song sequences. The final 30 minutes of the movie are a huge strength, and it can be said that a few tears would drop down here.
Performance wise, Jiiva comes up with a stellar show. He looks bright onscreen with the cute guy makeover. Trisha looks angelic and ends up being one of the pulling factors for the film. Vinay Rai does make a noticeable comeback. Santhanam's one liners work wonders and manage to bring the house down when they do. At the same time, his jokes fall flat at some instances leading to a few dull moments. Nasser is diplomatic in his role, as there is not much fault you can find in his acts. Andrea as the supermodel is a good choice, but her role doesn't boast big. The supporting cast fit the bill.
Endrendrum Punnagai is a colorful movie. Credit must go the cinematographer for capturing the rich side of Chennai and the beauty of Europe with ease. The movie also boasts of superb wardrobes for the main leads. Editing is fine.
Harris Jayaraj scores big time, as both the music and the BGM gel wonderfully with the tone of the movie, making it an absolute musical treat. However, the Kadal Naan Dhan number is a patience tester.
Except for a few lewd and inane comic scenes, Ahmed has put his efforts into Endrendrum Punnagai to make it a fresh film to watch. The concept of blending friendship, love and ego has worked here. Rom-coms are always fun and this one is no less.
Verdict : Rich and vibrant romantic entertainer which manages to meet expectations.
3.5 / 5

PySSH is a Python library for programmatically controlling ssh and scp.
Download PySSH releases.
Status: As of October 2004, Rasjid Wilcox is moving on personally and professionally. Since I seem to have touched it last, he offered to pass maintenance on to me, so here I am.
My 'touching it' was to restructure it as a Python "package", implement Distutils setup.py support, and add a module to use an ssh-agent session if one is available.
Release 0.3 includes Debian binaries (for Python 2.1, 2.2, and 2.3), an (untested) rpm, and the source in zip and tar.gz format.
I do not intend to spend much time maintaining this web page. The SourceForge page and email@example.com is where the action will be.
Thanks to Rasjid, and Chuck before him, for this project!
Previously: In September 2002, maintainence was passed from Chuck Esterbrook to myself. I released version 0.2 at that time, but unfortunately have done little on pyssh since then. However, pyssh 0.2 works reliably under Linux, and works mostly okay under Windows. I plan to devote some time to pyssh in the coming months. Rasjid W. - 3 Jan 2003
Note: The CVS repository and docs have not been updated yet. Sorry about that. Rasjid W. - 3 Jan 2003
News: We have a release, CVS, source code, docs and a home page. 8/23/2001
News: The first release, 0.1, has been made. 8/23/2001
News: CVS has been uploaded with the initial code. 8/22/2001
PySSH requires Python 2.0 or greater.

Expectations of an imminent end to the long and costly British Airways industrial dispute were dashed today after the Unite union said it had called off plans to ballot members over an agreement following fierce opposition from cabin crew.
The trade union had intended to recommend a BA peace offer ahead of a vote of members, potentially bringing to a close a year-long disagreement, initially about cost savings, which escalated after the airline stripped striking cabin crew of traditional travel concessions. The dispute involved 22 days of strike action earlier this year, costing BA an estimated £150m.
However, the Unite branch representing about 10,000 flight attendants, the British Airlines Stewards and Stewardesses Association (Bassa), made it clear it could not support the deal.
The joint leader of Unite, Tony Woodley, said it made no sense to offer the deal to members "over the heads of unwilling representatives". He added: "Under these circumstances I have suspended the ballot on the offer and will meet with all of our cabin crew representatives as a matter of urgency to consider the next steps."
A BA spokeswoman said the airline was disappointed at the move. She said: "We believe that British Airways cabin crew deserve the opportunity to vote on these proposals, which address all their concerns and represent a fair resolution of this dispute. The way forward is for all sections of Unite to put aside their internal divisions and allow crew to have a direct say on their own future."
Under the proposed agreement the Acas industrial conciliation service would intervene in the cases of 16 crew members who have been dismissed during the dispute and Unite would agree to a period of no industrial action before the travel concessions were fully restored.
But other elements of the deal have caused concern among shop stewards, such as BA's request that all legal action relating to the dispute is dropped.
Woodley said flight attendant representatives had at first "reluctantly agreed" to recommend the deal to members.
He said: "Our cabin crew representatives have, on reflection, decided that they can no longer support a recommendation of this offer to the membership, even in the heavily qualified terms originally agreed, and have so advised cabin crew.
"Accordingly, the union will no longer make such a recommendation. Any sense that this offer is being presented to cabin crew over the heads of unwilling representatives would be deeply damaging to the union and its members above all. Our unity has been a vital source of strength throughout this dispute."
A Bassa official said: "There are some good parts within BA's offer, in particular their acceptance of binding independent Acas arbitration, but there are many other clauses which we simply, as a trade union, cannot recommend.
"While all those disciplined on dispute related incidences are at the forefront of our concerns, especially those who have been dismissed, we simply cannot be held to ransom."

TECH ST-65 GSM module EU
The steering has a multilanguage menu
Control your boiler and CH installation via mobile phone.
GSM module cooperates with TECH controllers with RS communication and enables remote control of the boiler with the use of a mobile phone. The user is informed with an SMS about each alert of the boiler controller, in addition, by sending an appropriate SMS at any time, the user receives information about the current temperature of all active sensors. After entering an authentication code it is also possible to remotely change the set temperatures.
ST-65 module has 4 additional sensor connectors operating independently from the boiler's controller, with universal application: 1) Two temperature sensor inputs (KTY) 2) One input detecting short circuit/opening of contacts (e.g. as an anti-burglar sensor with a limiting switch in the set). 3) One controlled 9V DC voltage output (e.g. a possibility of connecting an additional transmitter to control any electric circuit).
Functions performed by the controller:
- cooperation with the controllers with RS communication
- control of the sensors' temperatures through SMS messages
- SMS and phone notifications (incoming call) about boiler alerts

Which he had discovered after Henry
left his employment
That was the universal agreement.
Old man Milton had had the misfor
tune to have his only son turn out
bad. The stubborn old man mourned
for the young fellow secretly, but he
set his face as hard as a flint in pub
lic. Then came the day when an at
tack of paralysis seized him, and he
awakened from his coma to see Lucy
at his bedside, nursing him. When
he recovered he asked her to keep
house for him. He meant to adopt
her, he said, as he had no children.
The months passed. Lucy some
times dared to speak of Henry, but
the old man would not betray his
"He was a bad lot, my dear," he
said. "I know there was something
between you, but you've had a
mighty narrow escape. I want you
to find some young fellow that will be
worthy of you."
Then Lucy would sigh and say
nothing. It was three years now
since she had heard from Henry.
Then one day the insurance agent
came in, breathless with excitement.
All the city was talking of a new
opera, he said, composed by one Hen
ry Milton. He was America's great
musical prodigy. The newspapers
were full of him.
Middleboro reluctantly agreed that
it might have been mistaken. But not
so the old man. He was more stub
born than ever.
"I don't care if he can fool the pub
lic," he said. "Any knave can do
that. When Henry takes up a clean
line of work and makes good at it
I'll take him back. Till then no,
Yet Lucy knew that he secretly de
voured .the newspapers, searching for
his son's name. He was secretly
proud of him. Lucy had an idea.
"Father," she said coaxingly she
called him that nowadays "he is to
conduct at a performance in Boston
'next Friday. Now you know you have
been promising to take me to Bos
ton. Let us go and hear him."
"What do I want to hear him for?"
growled the farmer. "Hain't I heard
him times and again strumming on
that old piano? I've had enough of
hearing him, my lass."
However, by dint of coaxing, Lucy
inveigled him to Boston, and thence
to the opera house, where, upon a
dozen billboards, as large as life, were
the words Henry Milton, beneath a
flesh and blood reproduction of the
young man.
Lucy felt herself trembling. She
knew that he had long ago forgotten
her; she had nerved herself to ac
company the old man only out of a
sense of duty, in the hope of effecting
a reconciliation if she saw Henry
she meant' to show him her indiffer
ence. But when the fanner saw his son
conducting in the orchestra, a
strange look came over his face.
And Lucy, watching him, knew that
the past was forgotten in the joy ac
finding his boy.
The old man's stupefaction in
creased as, seated all through the be
wildering medley of sounds, he saw
Henry waving his baton and, his
hand, sometimes in alternation and
sometimes together.
"Well, I'm swinged!" he exclaimed.
He turned to his neighbor,
"How much do you reckon that
there young fellow Milton makes a
night out of this?"
"O, perhaps three hundred dol
lars," answered the other.
The farmer gaped at him and sub
sided into his seat.
They were at Henry's side almost
before the piece was ended. And
Henry, looking up, suddenly perceiv
ed his father and Lucy. His face grew
"Hen! Hen!" faltered the old man,
and suddenly he grabbed to his heart
and muttered something about for
giveness and coming home.
"WelL father, I wanted to scores

"My objective is to get them engaged intimately in the best possible sexual bonding that they're both comfortable with," Yu says.
"Engaged intimately" are the key words. For more than 15 years, Singapore's birthrate has been well below the 2.1 per woman needed to sustain a population; in 1990 it was 1.87 and by 2001 it had fallen to 1.42. This is just below the European Union average of 1.47, but the Government has been tackling the problem with extreme vigour, mostly unsuccessfully, for two decades.
Singapore has a population of only 4 million. Ministers fear the nation could fall below a critical mass within a few generations. More and more doctors and researchers believe the problem is not so much infertility but what Dr Victor Goh, at the National University of Singapore's department of obstetrics and gynaecology, calls "lifestyle impotency".
"A lot of people are so stressed out they don't even have sex as an important area of their activity," he says. "It's been relegated to an end-of-the-day kind of activity where, even if they want to, they couldn't because of physical and mental exhaustion."
He quotes statistics from a survey he is doing of about 1000 Singaporeans. About 38 per cent of the women are either sexually non-active or have never had sex. This echoes a survey last year by condom maker Durex, which found Singaporeans had less sex than any other nationality.
The Hsus are a classic example of Singapore's low libido. Both work long hours in demanding jobs and admit they have few intimate moments.
"We are together, and yet there's no time to say, 'I love you'," Henry says. "In the night, sometimes if I touch her - not (during) those four or five (fertile) days - she will say, 'Oh no, don't touch me, please. I have to wake up tomorrow at seven'. So OK, good night."
About 18 months ago the couple started trying to conceive but, despite tests showing they are both normal, they've had no luck. On their doctor's advice, they decided to take a step back and explore their relationship to make sure they remain happy.
"It's a matter of someone opening the door and saying 'come in'," Henry says.
"But (most of us) will not open it ourselves. We're too frightened. So when there was a door open to us we were keen to take a peek." Hence, two weeks ago, they were one of the first couples to sign up on Wei's course.
When fully up and running, this five-phase therapy will begin with participants attending seminars on subjects such as pre-pregnancy planning and sexual health. These are organised in conjunction with Singapore's Ministry of Community Development and Sport. Couples will have intimacy counselling with Wei. He partially defines the success of the latter as "when Singaporean couples can tell me their sexual fantasies and get excited".
He admits it will be tough. "There's amazing emotional suppression in Singapore," he says. "The whole emotional upbringing is 'don't do this, don't do that'."
As part of Wei's course, couples head off on his love boat cruise to Bintan, an hour south of Singapore.
The Bintan experience begins with the movement meditation, visual therapy - "Give a gift from your heart using only your eyes," is one of Hamons' favourite exercises - and drawing therapy. It then goes on to massage techniques, and further counselling on diet, fantasies, sex toys and lifestyle.
By the end of the two-day trip the Hsus are positively oozing affection as they demonstrate some of the massage techniques they have learnt. "We feel completely relaxed," Rebecca says. She and her husband have decided to employ a home helper to shop and cook. "The cleaning time we will convert to quality time (for us)," Henry says.
The Hsus are at least lucky that they found each other. Tens of thousands of young Singaporeans have trouble finding a partner.
But, typically for Singapore, government help is at hand. Almost 20 years ago, ministers noticed that many men sought partners who were less well educated, while women hunted for boyfriends smarter than themselves - the result was an army of well-educated single women. So it created two organisations, the Social Development Service and the Social Development Unit - crudely dubbed Single, Desperate and Ugly.
Soon Mee Sam, who runs SDU events, admits it is trying to address a social problem. "If you want to call it social engineering, so be it," she says.
She prefers to see her role as lending a helping hand for people to find friends rather than matchmaking. The events she organises - speed dating, barbecues, dinners, weekends away, and the SDU's magazine, Match - suggest otherwise.
While the success of these events is hard to gauge, more recent government incentives, such as tax breaks for couples having second and third children, have failed to spark a baby boom.
"The Government's problem is that its previous birth control program was too successful," Goh says. "And once Singaporeans develop a certain mindset, it's very hard to get them to change."

Question: What movie is the saddest?
Total Votes: 57
I am looking for some good tear-jerking movies that can really touch your heart. I need a good cry every once in a while and I'm drawing a blank for new titles.
The saddest movies I can think of (in no particular order) are:
~P.S., I love you
~The Notebook
~A Walk to Remember
~Brian's Song
~My Sister's Keeper
~The Green Mile
~My Girl
~Steele Magnolias
~Message in a bottle
~The Last Song
~The Pursuit of Happiness
~City Of Angles
Does anyone have any suggestions? If so, please also provide a brief descrition on the movie. (Don't give the whole story away.)
Thanks! (Please bump for me!)
And if we are talking about cartoons movie "UP" takes the cake. Another one I cry my eyes out in.
The Color Purple is another one that takes me to the tissue box.
I try to avoid movies that will upset me. Such as My Girl. Love Story. Titanic.


text: Rory Swenson just cannot wait to be 12, that magical age at which her parents will lighten up and allow her some independence. She's been promised that she can get her own cell phone, get contact lenses and attend a boy-girl party, among other things. Just as the long-awaited birthday arrives, Rory and her friend are selected to be extras in a movie being filmed at their school. As Rory begins to tick off items from her list, catastrophes begin. She learns that she is highly allergic to both gold and plant-based make-up, and she mangles her legs when she tries shaving. None of this makes her look good on camera. Rory's amusing disasters foreshadow the lessons she learns at her first boy-girl party, from which she escapes rather than participate in a kissing game: Growing up doesn't have to happen all at once, and it isn't always all it's cracked up to be. A couple of clunky plot points notwithstanding, Mass provides a pretty entertaining and solidly worthwhile read. (Fiction. 8-12)

In a week David Ortiz set the record for most career hits as a designated hitter, Derek Jeter collected his 3,243rd HANDH.
Hits as a non-designated hitter.
I favor Jeter's mark, which signifies his all-around value and devotion to playing regularly, especially at a premium position, shortstop.
The 3,000-hit club has 28 members.
The 3,000-HANDH club has just 18.
Excluded from the latter list because their hits as a DH got them over the 3K hump: Paul Molitor, Eddie Murray, George Brett, Robin Yount, Dave Winfield, Rickey Henderson, Rod Carew, Rafael Palmeiro, Wade Boggs and Al Kaline.
Not that there's anything wrong with that, but there's something to be said for this: The only three 3,000 HANDH members (let's make the second H silent) who spent most of their careers in the American League since the creation of the designated hitter are Carl Yastrzemski, Cal Ripken Jr. and Jeter.
Yaz played left field, and Ripken stopped playing shortstop at 36, moving to third base for his final five seasons. Jeter never got off shortstop except when injured, and 3,244 of his 3,321 hits came without benefit of the DH rule.
Jeter soon should move into second place in games played at shortstop, passing Luis Aparicio and trailing only Omar Vizquel, and he's one of just two players to reach 3,000 hits while still a shortstop, along with Honus Wagner.
Last week, Jeter passed Molitor to move into eighth place on the career hits list. On the HANDH list, he passed Molitor (1,455 of his 3,319 hits came as a DH) a long time ago. In fact, Jeter's already seventh on that list, ahead of Yastrzemski, who had 395 of his 3,419 hits as a DH.
So all Jeter is looking up at is Paul Waner, Tris Speaker, Stan Musial, Hank Aaron, Ty Cobb and Pete Rose, and how epic is that?
Jeter, who turns 40 on June 26, played his final home opener Monday. With all the hubbub surrounding the Yankees' captain, it might as well have been Derek Jeter Day, the first of 81 – and expect a few more on the road, including during the Yankees' series at Oakland on June 13-15.
Perhaps the last chance for Bay Area fans to say farewell to a legend.

Catherine Lagan with pupils from St Joseph's Boys' School.
Catherine Lagan, a teacher at St Joseph's Boys' School, Creggan, is part of a group of educators who are travelling next week to see the work of aid agency, Trócaire.
"I am absolutely delighted to be part of the group travelling to Uganda," said Catherine.
"Our school raises a lot of money for Trócaire every year and I can't wait to see how that money is spent on the ground.
"We will be visiting Trócaire projects, meeting Trócaire's partner organisations and, most importantly, speaking to the ordinary people on the ground.
"Uganda is an incredibly poor country and I will have the chance to hear how people are coping with the challenges and how our money has helped support them."
Kevin Donnelly, Trócaire's assistant regional manager in Northern Ireland, who is leading the trip, said: "Trócaire has been working in Uganda for many years and it is important that we are able to tell people in Northern Ireland how the money they donate is being put to use.
"The teachers will be seeing the various projects that Trócaire is involved in and will then be able to bring their stories and experiences back home to share with their schools and their wider local communities.
"We are currently in the middle of the Trócaire Lenten campaign which this year focuses on the global water crisis and I have no doubt that we will see how this crisis is affecting ordinary people in Uganda."
Meanwhile, in a separate development, Trócaire has thanked the people of Derry for supporting its work to help survivors of the Rwandan genocide strengthen their livelihoods and rebuild peace in their communities.
Twenty years ago, when the genocide took place, church collections were held across Derry, which helped Trócaire to raise millions of pounds in its emergency appeal for Rwanda. This was, at the time, the largest public appeal in the organisation's history.
"Trócaire established a presence in Rwanda to respond to the genocide and, twenty years on, Trócaire is still working in the country thanks to support from people in Co Derry," said Éithne McNulty, Trócaire's Director in Northern Ireland.
"Today, the organisation runs an agriculture programme that is helping people from poor rural areas to produce food and a governance and human rights programme that is building peace and reconciliation and improving people's participation in local government."

I have taken an axe to this novel. It is HORRIFYING. I was almost done, could see the end, and all at once I stopped fighting to make it go how I wanted and am letting it go how it wants to go. Not two voices. Three. THREE! I hacked it open and threw some pink-n-pretty vital organs sideways and am replacing them with pig valves and robot parts, letting the Liza-monster tell her part in it, because you can't HAVE a Liza-monster and not let it speak. RIGHT? Right.
Right? I hope right. Because otherwise a perfectly good book is in chunks on my floor for no reason. Heh.
This means the stack of Southern Fiction I have been saving up to savor when drafting is done all got shoved back in the closet. I am reading ANYTHING except Southern as I sniff out Liza's voice, and have found some things you might VERY well like, but be warned, none of these books is what I would call sweet. None of these books are for the squeamish. They are not tuned to the sensibilities of those with delicate constitutions. And they are also not at ALL Southern…
From Baltimore (natch) and the DC area: I'd Know You Anywhere by Laura Lippman. Best. Laura. Lippman. Ever. And I think she is a goddess. SO. That's sayin' something. Read by Linda Emond, who leans more toward a straight read than an acting job. She lets the language and the story speak, which is never a bad idea when it's Lippman's language and story.
From Vancouver Island: Still Missing by Chevy Stevens. A debut that makes me all atwitter to see what she does next. It's being marketed as a mystery/thriller, but it has a lot of elements of a family drama book club type of book, too. I listened to the audio version, and I think Angela Dawe's expressive, dramatic style and throaty voice added to my enjoyment.
Meanwhile, across the pond in Ireland: Faithful Place by Tana French. I think her first book remains my favorite, but only because I read it first. All three books in this linked series deliciously chewy and dark. I read this one with my eyes, so no idea how the audio is. I can tell I highly recommend THE LIKENESS audio.
Want less body parts, more South, less mayhem, more sass, maybe some bittersweet humor and a helluva of a voice? Fine. The last southern book I read before I picked the up the axe was TRULY lovely. The Sweet By and By by Todd Johnson. He's one to watch.
Meanwhile, right after I finished listening to I'D KNOW YOU ANYWHERE, I went to cyber stalk Lippman in a red wash of fan-grrrrl-nerd-passion, and I found THE BEST MEME EVER (click here to play) on her blog.
You get to put yourself into a Time magazine cover story. I already read all the ones on Lippman's blog and tons of people I love are playing, to hilarious effect, including crime novelist Cornelia Read. GO PLAY! I played already, and my entry is comment 37. If YOU play, let me know or copy it here, I want to read yours.

Hello? It's me.
I had to.
But, really. Hello.
Its been...forever.
I have had a lot of people reach out to me, asking me to blog again. I have decided to go for it and why not start with the new year!?
My family is doing well. Trevor turned 6 in November, is thriving in kindergarten and just lost his first tooth. Ill give that a minute to soak in. The peanut we all hoped and prayed for, the one that made me a Mama, is THAT big.
Gavin is 3.5 and going to preschool. He is hilarious, never stops eating and never stops moving.
Brody and Dylan turned 2 in September. The are complete opposites and we are completely in love with them. They have real conversations, love animals and the bath.
Tom and I are doing our best at raising these tiny humans. We have a huge year ahead. Tom turns 30 in February, We celebrate being married 10 years in May and I turn 30 the following January.
I hope all is well with all of you! Its been nice to keep up with so many families thanks to instagram, but theres something special about blogging. I am not any less busy than I was when I stopped, but its a different kind of chaos.
Happy New Year! Ill be back here soon :)

MANCHESTER. — A dream four years in the making was finally realised when Pep Guardiola was announced as Manchester City's next manager, a development the club's billionaire owners hope will transform world football on and off the field. On it, the respected 44-year-old, currently seeing out his final season with Bayern Munich, will be handed the simple target of winning the Champions League within the three-year contract he has agreed, and which will pay him a reported 20 million euros a season.
Off the field, and into the realm of football finance and commercialisation, City believe Guardiola will eventually help elevate them to the level of Manchester United, Real Madrid and Barcelona, not only because of his own profile and standing in the sports world but because of the quality of player he will be able to attract to Eastlands, armed with the bottomless wealth of their Abu Dhabi royal family ownership.
A mooted attempt to sign Barcelona's star striker Lionel Messi has long since been back page gossip for English tabloid newspapers but now, with the world's wealthiest club having signed, arguably, the world's best manager, such a move no longer sounds quite so fanciful.
It is precisely that kind of signing City will be hoping to pull off this year, in an attempt to improve on their displays in Europe which have so far seen them fail to progress beyond the last 16 of the Champions League.
But, of more far-reaching importance, the arrival of a global footballing icon like Messi would help City in their aim to become the most famous and successful football club on the planet, instead of just the wealthiest.
Signings such as David Silva and Sergio Aguero rank among the greatest talent ever seen in the Premier League but those players, and the rest of the current City squad, lack the commercial clout and presence carried by a Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo or Neymar.
A deal late last year saw Chinese consortium CMC invest £265 million for a stake in City, leading to reports the club will tour China later this year, where Guardiola may be unveiled for the first time. In such relatively "new" football markets, Guardiola will carry far more impact than his predecessor Manuel Pellegrini and the level of high-class superstar City could now attract will lift the club even higher in terms of their global presence.
This was the vision City had in 2012 when they first approached Guardiola before being rebuffed and turning to Pellegrini as a distant second choice a year later.
City's Spanish executives Ferran Soriano and Txiki Begiristain continued to drive the courtship, with Guardiola's move eventually developing into the worst-kept secret in the industry. — AFP.

Hunter S. Thompson, the dean of gonzo journalism and a longtime contributor to Rolling Stone, died Sunday in his Colorado home of an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound. He was sixty-seven.
Thompson gave the phrase "fear and loathing" its cultural relevancy, writing the darkly comic altered-states novel Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas and the maniacal political reportage of Fear and Loathing: On the Campaign Trail '72.
His first book, Hell's Angels, published in 1966, was an inside look at the notorious biker gang. For his efforts, Thompson got himself roughed up by some of the gang's members. From then on, however, it was Thompson who did the roughing up, with words that he wielded like weapons. His political coverage was famously irreverent, often to the brink of viciousness. In a recent piece for Rolling Stone on the 2004 presidential campaign, he called George Bush a "treacherous little freak." To Thompson -- who once threatened to run for the presidency himself and narrowly lost an election in 1970 for sheriff of the Aspen area, running on the Freak Power Party ticket -- politics was a blood sport, and American politicians, so prone to corruption, were only too deserving of contempt. Observing President Bush's poor performance in a debate with "my man" John Kerry, he wrote for the magazine, "I almost felt sorry for him, until I heard someone call him 'Mister President,' and then I felt ashamed."
Reclusive and often unintelligible in conversation, Thompson had a persona that was ripe for caricature. Both Bill Murray and Johnny Depp portrayed him in feature films (Murray in Where the Buffalo Roam, Depp in the film adaptation of Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas). He was also Garry Trudeau's inspiration for Uncle Duke, the loose cannon of the Doonesbury comic strip. Thompson's incorrigible behavior, his mumbling incoherence, his fishing hats, aviator frames and cigarette holders all made for a larger-than-life presence. He was a hardboiled writer of the old Hemingway school, terse and piercing, enamored of guns. Yet he will be forever associated with the counterculture of the hippie era for his ruthless dogging of the Nixon administration and his gleeful experimentation with psychedelic drugs, two subjects which he often wrote about in tandem.
Born in Louisville, Kentucky, in 1937, Thompson spent two years in the Air Force as a young man, working as a sports reporter for the base newspaper. During the course of his career he filed memorable coverage of the Kentucky Derby, the Super Bowl and other sporting events; a consistent outlet for Thompson's writing in recent years was his "Hey Rube" column for the ESPN Web site. The world of sports also came into play for his biggest interview, when he rode in a limousine with his future nemesis, Richard Nixon, during the 1968 presidential campaign on the grounds that they would discuss only football.
Besides Hell's Angels and the Fear and Loathing books, highlights of Thompson's career as an author include The Great Shark Hunt (1979), the first of several anthologies of his newspaper and magazine writing; The Curse of Lono (1983), a sort of Hawaiian sequel to Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas lavishly illustrated by Ralph Steadman, whose furious images would become inextricably linked with Thompson's prose; and The Rum Diary (1999), the writer's "lost" novel, begun in 1959 when he was living in Puerto Rico after being fired by Time magazine, unpublished until 1999.
His wild, licentious writing style lost him innumerable assignments, but Thompson invented a whole new genre when a fellow journalist called his feature on the skier Jean-Claude Killy "gonzo." The piece was written for Playboy, which turned it down; it was published by a fellow maverick, San Franciscan Warren Hinckle. Thompson later said that his realization that he could "get away with" such an outrageous writing style convinced him to stop trying to write "like the New York Times. It was like falling down an elevator shaft and landing in a pool full of mermaids."
Thompson's first pitch for Rolling Stone was similarly the stuff of legend. A staffer later recalled the writer drinking a six-pack, playing with his wig and ranting non-stop for an hour with publisher Jann Wenner, who was sufficiently overwhelmed to hire him.
In 2002 Thompson collaborated with his friend, the late Warren Zevon, on a song lyric for Zevon's album My Ride's Here. The song was titled "You're a Whole Different Person When You're Scared."
If he feared anything, Thompson knew how to hide it well. "I hate to advocate drugs, alcohol, violence or insanity to anyone," he once said, "but they've always worked for me."

Oy vey. As a general rule, popular treatments of the EMH (I'm referring to the Collier article) should be avoided. Just because the EMH must be jointly-tested (with an asset pricing model, e,g.) does not mean it is not falsifiable.
Moreover, the random-walk hypothesis differs from EMH. Fama has said this.
There's so much confusion over EMH because it has become trapped in ideology, which is unfortunate.

I was looking out my dorm window and saw what looked like an airplane that was going across the sky and burning up and preparing to crash.

I turned on the tv to see if there was anything on the local news about and there was nothing, then I called my dad a private pilot to see if he knew anything about it, and again he didn't know anything about it.

All during this time I was observing the object slowly passing across the sky while appearing to be on fire through my dorm room window -- it was fairly light outside at the time so it was a pretty bright object -- then it just passed out of sight, and I never heard any more about it.Edhttps://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-7479084653595377161.post-47498862289765120562011-05-04T11:32:49.618-04:002011-05-04T11:32:49.618-04:00it doesn't look overtly photoshopped but the ...it doesn't look overtly photoshopped

Angry JApplet background image
I have an applet which has an imageBackground which simply paints an image. On the applet I have a form with some checkboxes. When I scroll my mouse over the checkboxes, it paints the background in the word part of the checkbox. It only does this on a couple of machines and I can't figure out why. I've cleared my cache and everything else on mozilla and I still get the same problem. Here is my image panel
public class ImagePanel extends JPanel{
BufferedImage image;
public void setImage(BufferedImage i){
image = i;
public void removeImage(){image = null;}
public void paintComponent(Graphics g){
if(image != null)
g.drawImage(image, 0,0,this.getWidth(),this.getHeight(),this);
Or you can check it out at beancitycoffeeco.com
You'll have to make an account which I can delete if you let me know what it is.
I'm only using Swing, and I've tried setting the JCheckBoxes to Opaque(true)
and Opaque(false);
Any help would be greatly appreciated

On September 13, 2016, the United States and Israel announced that they had reached an agreement, a memorandum of understanding (MOU), for a new 10-year package of security assistance from the U.S. to the Jewish state. Although some news outlets and commentators offered nuanced reporting on the MOU, several others failed to do so and omitted crucial information about threats facing Israel.
The aid package, which will consist of 3.3 billion dollars a year in military assistance along with $500 million annually in missile defense assistance as opposed to this year's $3.1 billion in military assistance and a proposed $600 million for missile defense, comes at a crucial time for Israel. The Jewish state is presented with a challenging security environment that is due, in large measure, to the Islamic Republic of Iran's open calls for the country's annihilation. Iran funds several terrorist groups and proxies, including Hamas, Palestinian Islamic Jihad, and the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), but it is the threat posed by Hezbollah which has some analysts especially concerned.
Hezbollah, the U.S.-designated, Lebanese-based, Shi'ite terror group has accumulated considerable means to attack Israel. As CAMERA's Hezbollah backgrounder pointed out, the Iranian-backed organization is committed to destroying Israel and has been behind terrorist attacks against Israelis and Americans that have spanned the globe. In 2006, Hezbollah initiated a 34-day war against the Jewish state, which included indiscriminately launching rockets at civilian populations.
According to April 19, 2016 testimony before the U.S. House of Representatives Foreign Affairs Committee, the Iranian-backed group has openly deployed unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in the Middle East. Dr. Michael Rubin, a scholar at the American Enterprise Institute, a Washington D.C.-based think tank, told the committee that the drones could easily fly over the Golan Heights, over the Galilee or into international air paths over Tel Aviv's Ben Gurion International Airport or Israel's smaller regional airports.
Rubin highlighted that Iranian sources openly brag about their development of both suicide' drones and new satellite-guided drone navigation capabilities
.Neither Iran nor its proxies need to be able to strike an aircraft or an airport to be successful. Simply interfering with civilian air traffic will likely augment Israel's isolation as airlines service into Tel Aviv (Hezbollah Gathering Intelligence and Battlefield Experience for Next War' with Israel, CAMERA, April 28, 2016).
However, some major U.S. news media outlets failed to note thisand otherrelevant context.
The Baltimore Sun offered a particularly flawed look at the MOU agreement (U.S. seals deal to give Israel record $38B in military aid, Sept. 14, 2016). Reporters Tracy Wilkinson and Joshua Mitnick of the Tribune newspapers' Washington bureau, failedin seventeen paragraphsto so much as note the threat posed to Israel by Iran and Hezbollah. Indeed, the only time that Iran was mentioned was to say that the MOU emerged in prolonged talks that followed a public rift between President Barack Obama and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu over the nuclear deal with Iran, the Palestinian peace process and other issues.
Instead of discussing Iran or Hezbollah, Mitnick and Wilkinson claimed that Palestinians and other critics of Israel complained that the new aid package and its decade-long duration, from fiscal year 2019 to 2028, essentially rewards the Netanyahu government despite its expansion of much-criticized settlements in the West Bank and other points of contention.
In fact, as CAMERA has repeatedly noted (see, for example Washington Post Treats State Department, Palestinian Allegations as Facts, Aug. 4, 2016), Jewish communities in the West Bank (Judea and Samaria) have not expanded outward. No new settlements have been added or land expropriated. Rather, the growth that has occurred has been due to natural population growth; high birth rates and not newcomers from other parts of Israel.
Crucial information about the MOU is similarly omitted. Mitnick and Wilkinson repeatedly referred to the aid package as largest ever, major, and record, and said that it will increase U.S. aid from about $3.1 billion a year to as much as $3.8 billion a year. Yet, as former U.S. deputy national security Elliot Abrams highlighted in The Weekly Standard:
In their coverage of the MOU, POLITICO similarly noted that, Some experts push back at the notion that the newly proposed deal provides much more than the current arrangement. Col. Gilead Sher, who served as chief of staff to former Prime Minister Ehud Barak, pointed out that Congress has added roughly $500 million every year on top of the estimated $3 billion a year given out under the current arrangement.
Sher told POLITICO that he would give [the new agreement] a more modest description than what I find in certain newspaperslike the largest ever,' an exceptional achievement' for Israel (Can Obama Buy the Love of His Pro-Israel Critics? Sept. 13, 2016).
Although Wilkinson and Mitnick said that Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., a member of the Senate Appropriations Committee, had criticized the package, and indicated that he believes Israel should receive more aid, they failed to fully detail the restrictions which the MOU placed on the U.S. Congress's authority to provide additional funds.
While some U.S. news media outlets left out important context about the MOU, others managed to do one worse.
New York Times columnist Nicholas Kristof objected to the MOU with a tweet saying, At a time when 6 million kids die annually around the world, should the U.S. really be announcing its largest aid package
to wealthy Israel? Lee Smith, a foreign policy analyst and senior fellow at the Hudson Institute, a Washington D.C.-based think tank, expressed his astonishment:
What's weird here is that the Times foreign affairs columnist seems not to understand the basic difference between economic assistance and military credits. In fact, wealthy Israel' doesn't receive a dime of economic assistance from the United States, and hasn't since 2007 (Saint Nick's Math Problem, Tablet, Sept. 20, 2016).
Smith added an additional point that Kristoflike Mitnick and Wilkinsonglossed over. What Israel gets from America are what is known as military credits, which is money that has to be spent in the United States on American-made weaponry. That is, Israel is the address for an American domestic subsidy that helps float the American defense industry, which helps keep Americans safe at home. Previously, it was mandated that 76 percent of the aid was to be spent by Israel in the U.S. However, under the terms of the new MOU, Israel will have to spend 100 percent in the U.S. by the year 2024.
Indeed, the mutual benefits to both countries provided by U.S. aid to Israel was another underreported aspect of the MOU.
As CAMERA recently noted in the Richmond Times-Dispatch (Israel has proven a good ally, Sept. 17, 2016), then-U.S. Secretary of State Al Haig, remarking on intelligence, defense and economic benefits that the U.S. receives from Israel, once said, Israel is the largest American aircraft carrier in the world that cannot be sunk, does not carry even one American soldier and is located in a critical region for American national security.
U.S. security assistance to a key ally, Israel, is newsworthy. It's unfortunate, however, that some prominent media outlets and commentators failed to provide the detailed coverage which the storyand their readersdeserved.

- Artist: Lady_Eldae
Gluttony means over-indulgence and over-consumption of food, drink, or wealth items to the point of extravagance or waste.
"She took a bite and it was sweet.
She knew then, she loved to eat.
She ate the pie, and then a fly.
The whole world was now her treat."
"Again she greedily ate,
any dish served from the gate.
Until the time, when people die,
and then a new food on her plate."

Industry-Focused Education, Networking & Advocacy
Coal Q&A Webcast
Leveling the Playing Field -
Policy Parity for Carbon Capture and Storage Technologies
Janet Gellici, Chief Executive Officer, National Coal Council
Wednesday, February 10, 2016 ~ 2-3 pm Eastern
In response to a request from U.S. Energy Secretary Ernest Moniz, the National Coal Council (NCC) prepared a report in November 2015 with detailed recommendations on incentives and policies needed to level the playing field for Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) technologies. An earlier report by NCC to the Secretary had recommended the Department of Energy take a stronger position on policy parity for CCS with other low carbon technologies such as renewables.
Janet Gellici returns to the ACC Coal Q&A webcast series to provide a briefing on the findings and recommendations of NCC's "Policy Parity" white paper, addressing:
• the importance of policy parity for CCS
• the status of the current playing field tilted away from coal and CCS
• financial and policy measures essential to leveling the playing field

The American Coal Council's Coal Q&A Program provides a forum to address critical issues affecting the U.S. coal industry ~ including coal producers, consumers and transporters. Each program begins with a topic briefing by a leading industry analyst or representative, followed by a Q&A session.
