Wuhan wo͞o-hän [key], city (1994 est. pop. 3,519,600), capital of Hubei prov., central China, at the junction of the Han and Chang rivers. The great industrial, commercial, and transportation center of central China, Wuhan comprises (since 1950) the former cities of Hankou , Hanyang , and Wuchang . Situated in the heart of China, virtually equidistant from Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Chengdu, it is an air, river, and rail hub dominating the middle Chang plain; China's main north-south railroad runs through the city. The Chang is there spanned by a mile-long bridge that accommodates both trains and motor vehicles. The busy port on the Chang, although about 600 mi (970 km) from the sea, handles large oceangoing vessels. Wuhan is one of the most important industrial centers in China; it has the country's second largest concentration of metallurgical facilities. Also in the city are railroad shops, automotive works, textile mills, food-processing establishments, and plants making heavy machinery, glass, cement, fertilizer, electronics, pharmaceuticals, and paper products. The many institutions of higher learning include Wuhan Univ., Central China Technical Univ., and a medical college. A bridge across the Han River links Hankou and Hanyang.

To cool down from the summer heat, you need to look no further than Personal Cooling Products, the Australian personal cooling specialists.
The ONLY Cool Vest worth investing in.
Personal Cooling Products are the sole supplier world-wide of the Endurance Exothermic Cool Vest.
Exothermic Cool Vests, supplied exclusively by Personal Cooling Products, use non-toxic, non-carcinogenic blends of crystalline alkanes that provide low chemical reactivity with extremely high stability. Each blended formulation of Exotherm Alkane is encapsulated in a proprietary copolymer film in anatomical configurations that are user friendly.
Acting as a heat sink, the comfortable temperature of the Exotherm Alkanes abstract excess body heat. The blood becomes cooler as more and more heat is abstracted from the surface area. As cooler blood pumps through the cardiovascular system, less metabolic energy is required, slowing sweating. As sweating wanes, cellular hyperactivity is reduced and less electrolyte fluids and precious minerals are forfeited resulting in a prolonged endurance factor.

The current heat wave is threatening to shut down the nuclear power plant in Plymouth, as water used to cool the system nears limits on safe temperature.
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission requires that the water drawn from Cape Cod Bay to cool the Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station be below 75 degrees. On Tuesday afternoon, the water exceeded that mark for about 90 minutes, forcing the plant to reduce power output temporarily.
Water temperatures have not surpassed that mark again, but it is a possibility as the heat wave persists.
"Obviously, they are going to have to keep an eye on it," said Neil Sheehan, a spokesman for the NRC, which oversees the plant. "They need to have sufficient heat transfer," he said.
A reactor in Connecticut was shut down for two weeks last August due to water intake temperatures that exceeded the 75-degree limit, the NRC said.
When the limits were put into place, regulators never imagined that rising water temperatures would be a concern, Sheehan said.
"No one could envision a scenario where water temperatures would exceed these limits," Sheehan said.

WALTHAM, Mass. – The Brandeis baseball team dropped a pair of non-conference game to Colby College today, falling 13-11 in a slugfest in the opener and 7-1 in the second contest. With the losses, the Judges fall to 5-24 on the season, while the Mules even their record at 9-9.
In game one, Brandeis fell despite owning leads of 6-1 and 11-7. They scored in the first six innings, but their hard work was negated by a pair of big frames by the Colby, who scored five in the fifth to tie the game at 6-6, and six in the top of the seventh to turn a four-run deficit into the final 13-11 margin.
Brandeis was sparked offensively by senior Zach Malis (Merrick, N.Y./Bellmore JFK), who went 3-for-4 with a career-high three doubles, three RBI and two runs scored. Malis's three two-baggers were one more than he had all season long entering the game. The Judges also got a pair of home runs. Graduate student DH Pat Nicholson (Walpole, Mass./Walpole) went deep to left-center with one aboard in the bottom of the first to give the hosts a 2-1 lead. It was his second homer of the season and the fourth of his career. Meanwhile, rookie 3B Rob Trenk (West Orange, N.J./West Orange) hit his first collegiate round-tripper in the fourth.
Unfortunately, it wasn't enough for the Judges, as Colby took advantage of four Brandeis errors to score six unearned runs and complete the comeback. The Mules' first rally came in the fifth and was highlighted by a game-tying grand slam by senior DH Devlin McConnell (Merion Station, Pa./Lower Merion).
Brandeis reclaimed the lead in the bottom of the frame with three runs on just one hit, a two-run double down the left field line by Malis, who came home two pitches later after a wild pitch and a grounder to second by rookie 3B Tommy McCarthy (Yonkers, N.Y./Fieldston School).
Colby got one back on an infield single by rookie RF Jason Buco (Methuen, Mass./Brooks School) in the sixth, but Brandeis's Kyle Brenner (Brookfield, Mass./St. Peter-Marian) stroked a two-run double to deep center that plated two more in the bottom, making the score 11-7. The Judges could have gotten more with runners on second and third and none out, but a missed squeeze play, a comebacker to the mound and a grounder to short limited the damage.
In the top of the seventh, after the Mules put the first two runners on against sophomore Brian Ing (Sandwich, Mass./Sandwich), Brenner came on to try to close the game out. After getting a lineout to left for the first out, Brenner got a perfect double play ball to short, but an error kept the inning alive. With the bases loaded and none out, pinch hitter Al Finigan (Milton, Mass./Belmont Hill) doubled down the left field line on the first pitch he saw to cut the lead to 11-9. Brenner traded a run for the second out of the inning, getting catcher John Schroeder (Glencoe, Ill/New Trier) to ground out to short, making the score 11-10. Senior LF Nik Atsalis (West Hyannis Port, Mass./Barnstable) fouled off three straight 1-2 pitches before singling to center field and tying the score. After Atsalis stole second and moved to third and Buco walked, putting runners on the corners, senior 1B Ryan Arndt (Yarmouth, Maine/Yarmouth) followed with a line drive to left that got over the head of the left fielder and scored the game-winning runs. Brandeis had two runners on with two out in the seventh on a single and a walk, but reliever Abhi Chandel (Columbus, N.J./Northern Burlington) got the save with a strikeout.
In the second game, sophomore Dakota Rabbitt (Rehoboth, Mass./Bishop Meehan) and Chandal combined to hold the Judges to six hits over seven innings as the Mules took a 7-1 victory. Rabbitt tossed 4.1 innings of one-run ball, allowing all six hits, striking out five and walking three to improve to 2-1. Chandal was terrific in relief, coming in with the bases loaded in the fifth inning and inducing an inning-ending double play. He struck out three of the six batters he faced in the sixth and seventh innings to earn his second save of the day.
Offensively, five different Mules drove in runs, with senior 2B Taro Gold (Belmont, Mass./Belmont) driving in two. Rookie CF Luke Dunkley (Augusta, Maine/Cony) went 4-for-5 with two stolen bases, an RBI and a run scored, while Gold had three hits and senior SS Brandon Nieuw (Port Chester, N.Y./Rye CDS) had two. Brandeis had two hits from Brenner, while Malis had the team's only RBI on a sacrifice fly.
Brandeis is back in action on Monday afternoon against UMass Dartmouth at 3 p.m., while Colby takes on Division I University of Maine Tuesday at 4 p.m. in Orono, Maine.

Santo Domingo de la Calzada
Santo Domingo de la Calzada
One of the Rioja towns most deeply marked by the Pilgrim's Route to Santiago de Compostela is Santo Domingo de la Calzada. Its network of medieval streets, declared a National Historic Interest Site, store a valuable heritage, particularly its walls, the Cathedral and the old Pilgrims' Hospital. La Rioja's gastronomy, and above all the famous wines of the region, are some of the attractions the area offers, where it is also possible to visit the cradle of the Spanish language and the monasteries of Suso and Yuso, in San Millán de la Cogolla.
At the foot of the Sierra de la Demanda hills and the mountain of Yuso, Santo Domingo founded this town in 1044 to help the pilgrims who travelled to Santiago de Compostela in the Lower Middle Ages. The Pilgrim's Route to Santiago de Compostela, which has UNESCO World Heritage status, breathed life into the economy and culture of the lands it passed through and was closely linked to the spreading of artistic and cultural trends. The pilgrims who crossed the lands of La Rioja used to rest on the banks of the river Oja, in the forest of La Hojuela. It was here where Santo Domingo raised a bridge and built a shelter, a hospital and a hermitage, the origin of the town and city (a title awarded by Alfonso XI in 1334). Pedro I "The Cruel" is to thank for the walls which fortify its medieval layout, which has been declared a National Historic Interest Site. The original hermitage became a church dedicated to the saint, and was later consecrated as a Cathedral. This temple, located in the central Plaza del Santo, was begun in 1158 in the Gothic style, although it has elements of Romanesque origin, such as its main front and apse, and others which are baroque or Renaissance in style, such as the slim free-standing tower. Inside the cathedral, a beautiful main reredos in the plateresque style and the tomb bearing the Romanesque carving of the saint stand out.As well as the chapels, the choir and the cloister, a hen coop draws the attention, a reminder of a miracle which took place in these lands. The popular Spanish saying "Santo Domingo de la Calzada, cantó la gallina después de asada" is a reference to the miracle by which a cock and a hen were revived to prove the innocence of a young man who was wrongfully hanged and who survived his sentence.Opposite the Cathedral is the old Pilgrims' Hospital, now a Parador de Turismo. The original structure, from the 12th century, was erected by Santo Domingo to take in pilgrims making their way to Santiago de Compostela.Stretching out from the Plaza del Santo is a harmonious collection of Romanesque, Gothic, Renaissance and baroque buildings. The emblazoned houses of the calle Mayor, the City Hall and the convent of San Francisco are the major points of interest. The Saint's house, a Pilgrim's Route to Santiago de Compostela information office, is also worth a visit. Its facilities provide all kinds of information for continuing on the Pilgrim's Road, or returning towards Logroño and Navarre.Gastronomy and surrounding areaThe Ebro river basin provides the Rioja dining table with all manner of fruit and vegetables. Asparagus, peppers, artichokes and other vegetables are the staples of such dishes as potatoes "a la riojana" or vegetable stew. Also famous are the lamb cutlets with vine shoots (roasted over a sheaf of vine shoots). Outstanding among the sweets are the "fardelejos" (with almonds, eggs and sugar), the marzipan (baked almond and sugar paste) or pears in wine. These lands sown with vines produce one of the most esteemed wines in Spain, Rioja, with its own Designation of Origin standard. Whites, rosés and especially reds accompany and form part of this rich gastronomy. From Santo Domingo de la Calzada we can travel to major points in La Rioja province. Located on the banks of the Ebro, Haro is the wine "capital". A town sown with vines where the Wine Battle is held each 29 June. Some of its many cellars offer tastings on these days. San Millán de la Cogolla is home to the monasteries of Suso and Yuso, both declared World Heritage Sites. The Route of the Spanish Language begins here, since the first written evidence of Spanish appeared in these monasteries. This route continues on to the Monastery of Santo Domingo de Silos (Burgos) and cities such as Valladolid, Salamanca, Ávila and Alcalá de Henares. Located near San Millán is Berceo, birthplace of Gonzalo de Berceo, the first author in Spanish. At the foot of the Sierra de la Demanda mountains is the peak of San Lorenzo (2,262 m), the Ezcaray National Game Preserve and the Valdezcaray ski resort. The leisure possibilities on offer are rounded off with hiking routes or routes on horseback around the area, or a visit to the town of Nájera. In the 11th century, it was the seat of the court of Navarre and King Sancho III altered the route of the Pilgrim's Route to Santiago de Compostela so that it passed by here. The monastery of Santa María la Real its its chief monument, with Gothic and plateresque features. Its royal pantheon houses the tombs of more than 30 monarchs.

Pupils shine at "magnificent" Summer Cup
Pupils from Bringhurst Primary School competed with pride when they took part in this year's David Ross Education Trust (DRET) Summer Cup, a festival of sport that recognises and celebrates the talent and dedication of the Trust's sporting stars.
Held at the Grantham Meres Stadium in Lincolnshire, the event was bigger and better than ever, with a star-studded line-up to match. Sports stars in attendance included Roger Black MBE, Colin Jackson CBE, Rebecca Adlington OBE, Mark Lewis-Francis MBE, Marlon Devonish MBE and Beth Tweddle MBE.
The event saw primary academies compete in a number of tournaments, including sportshall athletics, swimming and Quicksticks hockey. Colin Jackson, former Olympic hurdler and BBC commentator, was also on hand to interview the pupils after their events – with footage being played on the largest TV screen in the UK.
For the third year running, Cedar Road Primary School won the primary title, with Fairfield Academy taking silver and Endike Academy in third place.
Colin Jackson said of the day: "I heard a lot of great things about the Summer Cup and I have not been disappointed – it was a magnificent day.
"It was an immense pleasure to meet so many talented pupils who have the same enthusiasm for sport that I did at their age.
"Everyone played their part and tried their absolute best, which is all you can ask for in sport and in life."
David Ross, Sponsor, commented: "It was incredibly pleasing to see the most talented pupils from across the Trust come together and celebrate sport.
"This was the biggest Summer Cup to date and all of the pupils raised the bar with their hard work and dedication.
"I am very thankful to all of the esteemed guests who came to watch, including the sporting superstars who gave up their time to offer advice and take photos with the pupils."

The Very Best of Jorge Posada
When Jorge Posada made his Major League Baseball debut on Sept. 4 1995, he got to Yankee Stadium early. The 24-year-old switch-hitting second baseman-turned-catcher walked from the clubhouse down the tunnel to the dugout to soak in what would become his home for the next 17 seasons.
Posada looked around at the majesty of Yankee Stadium. Tears of joy filled his eyes. In the years that followed he afforded the Yankees and their fans countless unforgettable moments, and basically became the Bronx Bombers' unofficial co-captain.
A leader, a gamer, and one of the most intelligent and fiery Yankees to ever don the pinstripes, Posada, 40, is expected to announce his official retirement from baseball in the coming weeks. The Yankees will lose one of the "Key Three" members of their Championship Dynasty of the late 1990s.
Off the top of my head I can come up with a number of Posada's best moments as a Yankee. Here are some of his most memorable achievements; a few of his accomplishments that made him such a special Yankee.
Breaking Out and a Perfect Day
Although Posada got the call to the show in 1995, he didn't become a full-time player until later on in his career. In '97 he replaced Jim Leyritz as backup catcher to current Yankee manager Joe Girardi, who was filling the position as the Yanks' everyday backstop.
Posada started 52 games behind the plate in 1997 and played in a total of 60 games for the season. He only managed to smack six homers and knock in 25 runs for the season, but had a sort of "coming out party" in 1998.
An old baseball adage suggests that having a catcher that can hit is a bonus – and the Yankees had that bonus. At the plate Posada crushed 17 homers and batted .268 while recording 68 RBIs in '98, but arguably his best feat of the year came defensively, on May, 17, 1998 when he caught David Wells' perfect game at home against the Minnesota Twins.
When a pitcher throws a perfect game, sometimes it gets overlooked that the catcher is the one calling the signs, and most of the time the first person the pitcher credits after notching the perfecto is the catcher. It takes the battery of a pitcher and a catcher to complete a perfect game and Wells recognized that, rewarding Posada and the rest of the team with diamond rings when it was all said and done.
Before the Yanks moved into the new Stadium in 2009, Posada was asked what his favorite moment in the old Yankee Stadium was. His answer was simple.
"Catching David Wells' perfect game was probably (the best moment) for me. It was just a day that…nothing went wrong. We were in sync from the get-go. He had a bad bullpen session but he got stronger and stronger as the game went along. I get chills, still."
A Sweet Moment before the '02 All-Star Game
Posada and the Yanks capped 1998 with a World Series title, their second in three years. In '99 he appeared in 112 games and hit 12 homers, knocked in 58 runs, and averaged .245 at the plate. The Yankees once again won a World Series title in '99 and again in 2000 – which to that point was Posada's best year numerically: 28 homers, 86 RBIs, and a BA of .287.
For his outstanding numbers he was selected to his first of five All-Star games in the year 2000. In 2002 Posada started the Midsummer Classic and during player introductions a Posada took the field – but it wasn't Jorge.
Well, it was, actually. Posada's son Jorge Luis, who has craniosynostosis (a bone condition which affects the skull of an infant), dashed out onto the baseball diamond when Posada's name was called. The short man was playfully wrangled by Yankee nemesis and then-Red Sox player Manny Ramirez, who presented Jorge Luis to his proud father.

Posada pieced together one of his best seasons in 2003, clubbing 30 homers to become only the second Yankee catcher along with Yogi Berra to ever hit 30 home runs in a season.
He also drove in 101 runs, batted .281, and scored 83 runs. At the end of the year he finished third in the American League Most Valuable Player voting, showing just how important he was to his team.
But all of that was basically overshadowed by the biggest rivalry in sports.
In '03 the Yankees and their archenemies, the Boston Red Sox, played in some heated games. Over the summer Derek Jeter and Alfonso Soriano were beaned with fastballs by the hated Boston ace Pedro Martinez. Roger Clemens, the Yanks' outspoken number one hurler, plunked Kevin Millar in retaliation.
As fate would have it, the Yankees and Red Sox met in the 2003 American League Championship Series; the winner would go to the World Series. Both squads were not shy about their feelings towards one another, as they exchanged words in the media. You couldn't open a newspaper or turn on ESPN without hearing what the Yanks and BoSox were saying about each other.
The ALCS was tied 1-1 and with tensions running high, all Hell broke loose in Game Three.
Yankees' right fielder Karim Garcia was hit on the back by what looked like an intentional bean ball thrown by Martinez. Garcia didn't take kindly to Martinez's throw – and neither did Posada, who began to mouth off to Martinez from the dugout.
Some serious jaw-jacking ensued between Martinez and Posada, and eventually Martinez began to make seemingly threatening gestures at Posada from the mound. He put his index finger to his temple as if he was saying to the Yankee catcher, "I'll hit you in the head."
Things settled down and the game resumed after awhile, only for another fracas to begin in the next half-inning. Clemens threw a pitch high and tight to Ramirez; clearly no intent, yet the Boston left fielder tried to charge the mound and the benches cleared.
Don Zimmer, the Yanks' 72-year-old bench coach, was tossed to the ground by Martinez in the brawl, proving just how ugly emotions between the two teams really were.
The '03 ALCS was forced to a Game Seven, and with the Yankees trailing 5-2 in the eighth inning, it looked as though it was Boston's time to "reverse the curse."
But after a single by Bernie Williams that scored Derek Jeter, and a ground-rule double by Hideki Matsui, Posada stepped up to the plate in a huge situation: runners on second and third with one out.
And he was as clutch as can be.
Posada popped a blooper into shallow centerfield, a hit which no Boston outfielder or infielder could come up with. Williams and Matsui came to the plate to tie the game while he wound up on second base. Fired up, Posada clapped his hands together and pumped his fists in jubilation.
The game-tying bloop double set up Aaron Boone's glorious home run in the bottom of the 11th, sending the Yankees to the World Series for the 39th time and the Red Sox home for the winter.
If it weren't for Posada's gritty, "never say die" attitude and his piece of late-game clutch hitting, Boone never would have had the chance to swing his bat in the 11th; the Yankees may have been doomed in the '03 ALCS.
As far as the Martinez-Posada feud: the two publicly expressed how they felt about one another: they both said they disliked each other. However aside from the argument in the '03 ALCS, nothing physical ever transpired between the two.
Unless you count the four career home runs Posada hit off Martinez.
On a side note, over the course of his career Posada hit 275 home runs. The most he smacked off a single pitcher: five off another Red Sox hurler, Tim Wakefield.
A Wild and Crazy Tuesday vs. Texas
On Wednesday May 17, 2006 – exactly eight years after Posada caught Wells' perfect game – I got up and went to class. Nearing the end of my first year in college, I was amazed at what I had seen the night before. Everyone knew what a huge Yankee fan I was, and when I got to class I was asked the age-old question from one of my classmates:
"Did you see the game last night?!"
Of course I had. It was one of the most improbable and incredible comebacks ever.
On May 16, 2006 the Yankees had been getting creamed by the Texas Rangers at home. In fact, through the first two and a half innings the Bombers were losing 10-1. But they never gave up, slowly chipping away at the deficit. The Yanks were able to knot the game at 12 before the ninth inning, only for Texas to plate a run on a Rod Barajas double and take a 13-12 lead going into the Yanks' final set of at-bats.
When it looked as though the rally was for naught, Posada clubbed a game-winning two-run home run in the bottom of the ninth off Rangers' closer Akinori Otsuka to complete the comeback and give the Yankees a serious come-from-behind, 14-13 win.
Posada drove in five of the Yanks' 14 runs and also showed off his strength, as he survived a collision at home plate with future teammate Mark Teixeira. Posada nailed Teixeira at home plate for an out, but after the game admitted it was the hardest he had ever been hit.
"I never played football in my life," Posada told the press after the game.
"But I think that's what it feels like."
2007 Resurgence
One could argue that by age 35 most catchers are reaching the so-called "downhill side" of their careers. Their offensive numbers seem to dwindle and they just aren't the same players they were at, let's say, age 25.
That never happened to the Yankee catcher.
In 2007 Posada recorded the highest batting average of his career, securing a BA of .338. He also posted the highest slugging percentage of his career with .543 and for the first time since 2003 he made the All-Star team.
The rest of his numbers also looked solid: 20 homers, 90 RBIs, 91 runs scored, 42 doubles, and he even stole two bases.
With his '07 power show he became the first catcher in MLB history to average .330 or better, record at least 40 doubles, hit 20 homers, and knock in at least 90 runs in a single season.
2007 was a renaissance year for the backstop, and you might say Posada turned 35 into the new 25.
Even the Red Sox Want to be Yankees
In a little comic relief, Posada starred in an ESPN commercial with hated Yankee killer David Ortiz.
When I first saw this, I couldn't get enough of it.
The First Home Run
After the 2008 season wrapped, the Yanks moved from their beloved cathedral to their new house across the street. They started the 2009 season on the road, but on April 16 it was time for Opening Day in the new ballpark in the Bronx vs. the Cleveland Indians – and it was a day of firsts.
Babe Ruth hit the first home run in the old Yankee Stadium, and in the fifth inning Posada became the first player to homer in the new Yankee Stadium. He took a pitch off Cliff Lee deep to centerfield, a poetically just shot that landed in the netting above Ruth's monument.
Unfortunately the Yanks had a bad day, dropping their first game at home 10-2. After the game Posada was proud to have done what Ruth did in terms of christening the ballpark, but was unhappy with the final score.
"I'm going to remember the home run, no question about it," he told the press. "But right now it's a little disappointing."
Yankee manager Joe Girardi could not have been happier that his successor was the first player to homer in the new Stadium.
"For Jorgie to hit the first home run…he's been here a long time and he's meant a lot to this franchise. I was extremely happy for him."
2009 Walk-Offs
Resiliency (noun) – the ability to recover from, or adjust easily to, change or misfortune.
Resilient (adjective) – the ability to withstand, or recover quickly from, difficult conditions.
There is no better way to define the 2009 New York Yankees.
'09 was a magical season for the Bombers. Solid pitching, all-around hitting, and if the score was close late in the game, you could almost be certain the Yankees were going to win.
The Yanks played the LA Angels at home on May 1, and squandered away a 4-0 lead when the Halos plated six runs in the sixth. They added three in the seventh and it seemed as though the Yankees were well on their way to an inevitable loss to the Angels, the only team in baseball with a lifetime winning record against the Bombers.
Not on Posada's watch.
The Empire struck back in the eighth scoring four runs, setting the stage for one of their many comeback victories. Posada came up to bat in the bottom of the ninth with Teixeira and Angel Berroa aboard, and whacked a two-run game-winning single to finish the game, his first walk-off hit of the year.
When it was all said and done teammate A.J. Burnett gave Posada a whipped cream pie to the face, a tradition that became custom after every walk-off Yankee victory.
And there were more pie orders to fill.
On July 4 the Yanks hosted the Toronto Blue Jays and played them to a 5-5 tie into extra innings. In the bottom of the 12th Posada came up and singled home Alex Rodriguez, giving the Yanks a 6-5 walk-off win on America's (and George Steinbrenner's) birthday.
Another win, another pie.
The game-winner may have been huge but it wasn't all Posada did in that game. In the fourth he smacked a solo round-tripper, which at that point in the game gave the Yanks a 3-2 lift over the Jays.
A Cushion in Game Two
The Yankees' resilient nature brought them to the World Series in 2009 for the 40th time and the first time since 2003. They squared off with the Philadelphia Phillies and in Game Two (after dropping the first game of the Fall Classic) the Bombers needed a win at home.
Facing a familiar adversary, Pedro Martinez, the Yanks trailed 1-0 heading into the bottom of the fourth. Teixeira came up and knotted the game at one with a solo homer. Hideki Matsui followed suit, breaking the tie with a solo home run of his own in the sixth.
Clinging to a small 2-1 lead in the seventh, Posada gave the Yanks a little breathing room. He hit a seeing-eye single off reliever Chan Ho Park to plate Jerry Hairston, Jr. and the Yanks went ahead, 3-1.
They would win Game Two by the same count.
The Texas Two-Step
In June of 2010 Posada had a chance to flex his muscles.
On June 12 in an interleague matchup at home vs. the Houston Astros, he clubbed a grand slam off Wandy Rodriguez in the bottom of the third, breaking a 2-2 tie to give the Yanks a 6-2 lead. They went on to win 9-3 on the strength of Posada's go-ahead trip to granny's house.
And he was just getting warmed up.
The very next day, June 13, he crushed another grand slam in the fifth inning off Brian Moehler, giving his team a sizeable 7-1 lead. The Bombers once again were en route to another win, a 9-5 decision over the Astros.
With his two slams in two days, Posada became the first Yankee since Bill Dickey in 1937 to homer with the bases loaded in consecutive games. Ironically enough, Dickey was also a catcher.
A Bittersweet Home Run
On Aug. 22, 2010 vs. the Seattle Mariners at home, the Yankees practically had the game won in the fourth inning. Austin Kearns hit a solo homer in the fourth, which was pretty much all the offense the Bombers needed because CC Sabathia was in shut-down mode, setting down the Mariners hitters one by one.
The game turned into a stinker for Seattle in the fifth when Robinson Cano clubbed a grand slam. The Yanks added three runs in the sixth to distance themselves even further from Seattle, who did not put up any runs in the game.
The Mariners eventually called on Brian Sweeney, a relief pitcher whom I have interviewed, in a mop-up situation.
Posada came to the plate to face Sweeney and took his changeup for a ride into the right field seats, giving the Yankees a 9-0 lead. The Bombers would add another run in the eighth on an RBI single off the bat of Marcus Thames, winning by a knockout score of 10-0.
For this writer it was bittersweet. I was happy for Posada; that he hit a home run for my favorite team, yet at the same time I was unhappy and I felt bad. I would have liked to see Sweeney maybe get a strikeout, being that he and I both came from the same college.
From the experience, I can say this: it feels weird wanting to simultaneously root for both the pitcher and the batter.
The Last Stand
2011 was a rollercoaster of sorts for Posada. There were ups and downs, lefts and rights. He was removed as the Yanks' everyday catcher and made to be the team's designated hitter. Everyone knows about the mountain made of the molehill when he took himself out of the game on May 14 against the Boston Red Sox, and he was limited at best when it came to playing.
On Aug. 13, his first start since the benching incident, he was 3-for-5 with a grand slam and six RBIs. It marked the 10th slam of his career and with it he passed Mickey Mantle and Yogi Berra on the all-time Yankee grand slams list.
Later in the month on Aug. 25 Posada played second base for the first time in his career, fielding the position in the ninth inning. He recorded the final out in the Yanks' 22-9 win over the Oakland Athletics, cleanly taking a grounder and completing the 4-3 putout.
He might have had a perfect frame at second base, but on Sept. 10 against the LA Angels he returned to familiarity. Russell Martin was injured behind the plate by a foul tip and Francisco Cervelli was unavailable to catch due to concussion-like symptoms. Girardi had no choice but to allow Posada to catch – and he made it count, throwing out Howie Kendrick attempting to swipe second base in the third.
The Yankees made the postseason for the 16th time in Posada's career and for his last playoff series, he performed extraordinarily well. He recorded six hits – one of which was a triple – scored four runs, drew four walks, and at the DH position notched a .429 batting average with a .579 on-base percentage.
Not bad for his last hurrah.
The Yankees and their fans will never forget Jorge Posada. He spent his entire career in pinstripes, somewhat of a rarity these days; not a lot of players in this day and age remain with one team their entire career.
Girardi, who has always been close to Posada, credits him for a lot of the strength the Yankees showcased throughout the years.
"He's been a big part of the Yankees since really 1997, and (a big part of) the success that we've had here."
Truer words were never spoken.
Friend and teammate Derek Jeter once said Posada would make a great baseball manager someday.
Who knows. Posada succeeded Girardi once in his life – as the Yankees' everyday catcher. Maybe in the future he will succeed him as Yankee skipper.
I'm not going to try and argue right now about whether or not Posada is worthy of the Hall of Fame. It doesn't matter to me; whether he makes the Hall of Fame or not, he'll always be a real Yankee soldier in my eyes.
Yankee Yapping would like to thank Jorge Posada for all the memories and congratulate him on a wonderful career. I don't know if the team will be the same without him, but nonetheless, we love him.

|Simple yet elegant Christmas lights
| Elaborate Christmas lights
|My wife Kathleen, nephew Josh, sister-in-law Anna, niece Mariah and me
|Merry Madagascar exhibit
|How did they know Sochi was coming up?
The holidays are a special time of year filled with tons fun and excitement, and lots of traditions and activities with both my in-laws and my family.
To start off the yearly festivities, my wife, Kathleen, and I drove through a local neighborhood that is known for its Christmas lights. We stopped by Starbucks to get something warm to drink, and joined the lines and lines of cars driving up and down the streets admiring the elaborate displays of lights. Some were very simple with just the house and yard outlined in white lights; while others were very elaborate with thousands of lights strung around the house, in the trees and bushes, and displays set up throughout the yard, and everything synchronized to music on a local radio station. After an hour or so of driving around, we determined that our personal favorites are the houses with simple lights – bright and elegant!
Next on the list was to take our niece, Mariah, and nephew, Josh, (both 4 years old) to the Gaylord Texan Resort's ICE! Experience, whose theme was DreamWorks' Merry Madagascar. According to the resort's website: DreamWorks' animated holiday TV special is brought to life in an interactive world of colorful ice sculptures and 20-feet tall ice sliders hand-carved by 40 artisans from Harbin, China. The kids loved the huge ice creations of their favorite movie characters, and really got a kick out of the ice slides, which they wanted to do over and over again. To keep all of that ice frozen in Texas, the resort keeps the inside of the convention center at a bitter nine degrees!!! At the end of exhibit, there were eight snow hills set up, made of actual snow, where everyone could go snow tubing down the 30-foot-tall hills. Who would have ever thought Texas would see nine degrees and two million pounds of ice and snow!
After the ice adventure, we headed to my in-laws' annual soup & salad feast and baked goods white elephant gift exchange. My mother-in-law (native of Louisiana) made her famous smoked turkey and sausage gumbo, along with chili, baked potato soup, salad, and homemade rolls. We only get her gumbo once a year, and boy is it worth waiting for! After everyone has consumed as much soup and salad as possible, we all move on to the living room to carry out the baked goods white elephant gift exchange. Each family brings some homemade desserts, we all draw a number, and go through picking and choosing, stealing, and playfully fighting over who ends up with the most sought after desserts. After the desserts are divvied up, all the kids gather around to open of their gifts from each of the families. With 10 grandchildren and close to 30 adults on hand, you can imagine the madness that ensued as the wrapping paper began to fly!
Now it is Christmas Eve, and we will meet the in-laws at PF Changs for dinner (not really sure how PF Changs became the annual restaurant of choice) and then head to a candle-light service before heading home and preparing for the remainder of the festivities tomorrow. We will start the day off, just my wife and I, with a cup of coffee and exchange our gifts to each other before heading over to her sisters for brunch and her immediate family's gift exchange. After that, we will head to my aunt and uncle's house to conclude the day with my family's Christmas dinner and gift exchange. There aren't near as many in my family as there are in my wife's family, so it is much lower key and a great way to conclude the Christmas holidays.
With everyone full and excited about their gifts, and after reflecting on what the holiday season is really about, we will all try to recover before we reconvene to welcome in the New Year! With that, from my family to yours, we wish you a very happy holiday and a great New Year!!!

Dawn Earles necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 45 diseños de 20 diseñadores freelance.
I need a logo!
Desired Color Scheme:
blue and brown - and white
Desired Style:
Simple and Modern
or Artsy and Edgy
Accepted File Formats:
I need a logo! Something that fits with my work. Please visit http://www.dawnearles.com to view my websites (the portrait website, not the wedding day one) and especially my blog, to get an idea of my style. I will use the logo on the website, on proofs (like you see on the images on my blog) and on business cards. Leaning towards transparent background so I can drop the logo anywhere...but I'm open to other ideas. I tend to like logos that are clean, simple and modern as well as logos that are more artsy and edgy. I DON'T like corporate-looking logos. I don't want it to look like a big business or commercial studio. I would rather it look like a boutique sized artist's logo. The logo can say "Dawn Earles" or "Dawn Earles Photography" Either way, I want "Dawn Earles" to stand out more than "photography". I'm even open to something that features "Dawn" bigger than the rest, if it even works. My current colors are brown and blue, but I tend to change my colors every six months so I'd like a logo that will let me adjust the colors as I need. I'd like to see a graphic of some kind, either made from my initials "DE" or you can use a graphic that you think may work better. My favorite logo on earth is the guess logo...not that I want to copy it, but just to give you an idea of what I like. It's a very clean and simple logo.
(Photography) Logos I love:
http://www.genevievenisly.com/ (simple, clean, and cool use of initials as a graphic)
http://homepage.mac.com/jessicajpho…index.html (Simple yet different and noticeable)
http://www.sedonabride.com/blog/ (again, simple, modern, elegant...love the font!)
http://www.galinawalls.co.uk/wordpress/ (cute graphic, I like the way it's used on the pics)
Again, I don't want a logo that looks like any of the examples, please do not attempt to make something similar to them, just wanted to give an idea of what draws my eye. Even though I will use the logo on my website and on business cards, I want it to look best on my images, more than anything else.

This is Argus One, the Pentagon's newest unmanned aerial spy. It can carry 14kg of high-tech sensors and it just happens to be shaped like a sperm because this shape is better at handling turbulences at high altitudes.
The aircraft was created by the World Surveillance Group for the Pentagon. It's now being tested at an undisclosed test range location. It's designed to be a long term spy, the military's "eyes in the sky" hovering over conflict zones at 10,000 (3000m) to 20,000 feet (6096m).
It's engineering is actually quite ingenious. According to WSG, "the airship's altitude, overall response and handling characteristics and flight control utilises a system of ballonets contained within each individual module, thereby creating a dynamically adjustable airship." They say this offers several advantages over solid drones:
The Argus One has significant competitive advantages over the existing manned aircraft, heavier-than-air fixed wing UAVs, tethered aerostats and balloons, or low orbit satellite alternatives. The Argus One has a flexible, non-rigid envelope which allows for easy storage and transport to remote locations. There is no need for large hangars or airport infrastructure, as the Argus One can be assembled and tactically launched in hours from virtually anywhere, including remote, mountainous territory.
It also looks funny. [Argus via Defense Tech]

For the rest of you...
Ten years. We watched this show for 10 years for one reason: to see the suit. How many times did it suffer horrible words flung at it from critics everywhere, while we fans fought and defended it because we hoped for a happy ending? Through every stupid Lana episode, we held on even though she would never die. With every moronic "I didn't ask for this destiny!" speech we heard from Clark, we kept on tuning in. Even when Lex himself left, we still stuck around through horrible storylines and cheap villains just because we wanted to see the suit.
|Yep, I got a million bucks for those ten minutes.
What did we get? A half dozen long-range shots of a tiny figure in the suit that actually looked less convincing than 98% of the Photoshop fan pictures I've seen on the internet! And when it finally swung around to give us a glimpse, it cuts to a comic book? Are you kidding me??? Do they honestly think we don't know what Superman looks like in the comic books???
|Suck it, viewers! You'll never see this! Hahahaa!
Or--and I know this is a crazy thought but hear me out here--they could have given us Welling in the suit! One shot! Just one! If that's all we were worth to you producers and writers, you should have given us one lousy shot.
Now we get to add Smallville's finale to the list of great series bombouts like Battlestar Galactica and Lost.
Hey guys, please let me know when you're starting another series so I can be sure to save my time and money.
|Yeah, how you like me now, eh?
On the other hand, I'm sure Brandon Routh is sleeping happily tonight knowing that someone did manage to put together a Superman piece of junk worse that Superman Returns. For that, I'm sure he thanks the writers and producers profusely.
Smallville's season finale...if this is what WB can do with heroes, it's time to stop reading comic books.
The only way they will ever redeem this mess is if they let Welling come into the JLA movie as Superman. Chances of that happening are just slightly less than Spider-Man 3 winning an award as the best comic book film ever made.
Am I wrong? Did you like it? Did you feel those CGI pinpoint versions of Welling in costume were enough? Let your voice be heard in the comments!

On Saturday evening in the Castro at 7pm, quite possibly one of the gayest things ever will occur, as queer comics artist Brian Andersen debuts his colorful new teen-friendly, straight-friendly, unabashedly queer So Super Duper volume, which stars "a little gay empathic hero (he can read emotions) named Psyche who doesn't quite know he's gay yet – even though it's painfully obvious to everyone around him."
It is so cute. And gloriously upping the pink quotient at the book launch, nationally televised diva Jason Brock will be hitting some high notes (he basically ruled the Bike Music Festival a few weeks back). Comics, superheroes, man-divas: It's a gaysplosion.
I asked the infectiously smiley Brian to talk a little about the So Super Duper's inspiration, and he had some very interesting things to say about being a proud femme-y gay guy in a world of macho stereotypes.
SF Bay Guardian Can you tell me a bit about what inspired you to create such a "super duper" gay hero?
Brian Andersen I'm inspired by my love of comic books, an everlasting and unwavering love for the medium since I was a skinny, gawky, goobery eight-year-old boy saving his recycling money to pick up the latest issue of the X-Men. I still live, breath, and love comic books 30 years and 100 pounds later.
As for the hero, Psyche, himself, there does seem to be a backlash in the gay community on femme guys. So much attention is put on being "masculine" that often I get online trolls attacking me because my lead character is too "stereotypically gay." Which is ironic because he's based off myself! I'm a fruity gay. And so what? I don't try to be; I'm not putting on some affectation or playing a role in an effort to be more "gay" (whatever that means).
I'm just me. If people can tell I'm gay from space I don't care! I like being me and I don't feel the need to try to put on a false masculine identity in order for me to "fit in" with what's considered sexy and hot in my community. I'd rather be a sexy and hot slightly effeminate gay dude with a few extra pounds and a heart of gold! Just like Julia Roberts in 'Pretty Woman.' (She was a gay dude in that movie, right?)
SFBG Is this a "steamy" comic?
BA Although most local indie gay comics revolve around the erotic side of the spectrum (a side I fully and literally embrace) "So Super Duper" isn't a gay comic based on gay sex (which I also fully and literally embrace. Often.). In fact, there is nary a sex scene at all in "So Super Duper." There be smooches, oh yes, there be smooches, but overall the gayness of my character isn't tied solely on whom he likes to sleep with.
SFBG Psyche is based on yourself — do you consider yourself a bit of a superhero?
BA Well, I'm actually a wanted felon from the Shi'ar interplanetary space system. OK, I grew up in small three-bedroom home in Northern California, I don't presently have superpowers but as a boy I kept diving into toxic waste in the hopes it would eventually bear fruition, I went to Brigham Young University – so yes, I'm another one of those gay Mormons that keep popping up in SF. I didn't come out as full-fledged homo until I was 26 (a lifetime in modern gay years), and I've been with the same man – my first boyfriend ever – for 12 years and we're still not sick of each other. Yet.
SFBG That's definitely something super duper!

All of a sudden when the 488 Pista is in the hands of Sport Auto it can not top the 991.2 GT3 RS but the French Magazine Motorsport has the Pista annihilating the GT2 RS let alone the much less powerful GT3 RS.
So what is the truth? Who knows. The Sport Auto test also has the Lamborghini Urus topping the BMW F87 M2 Competition but if you look at the track it is quite damp. It is also pretty tight with laptimes under a minute for certain cars.
Is this really the best test of the vehicles track capabilities? You be the judge.
* English subtitles are coming to the video at a later date.
1.Porsche 911 GT3 RS (991.2) - 0.56,41min

RichFeel is a pioneer in Trichology. We provide one-stop solution to all your hair and scalp problems. Call us on +91 7900082222 to book an appointment with our expert Trichologists at our Indore hair and scalp clinic.
What is Hair Transplant
Hair transplant is a cosmetic surgical technique wherein hair is transplanted from the recipient's back or side of the scalp to the bald area. The area of the scalp that is affected dictates the number of sessions that are required to restore hair growth. The 'Aesthetic Hair Implants- AHI' available at RichFeel's clinic in Indore is a well-known hair restoration technique that can be performed on both men and women. It is a permanent solution for hair loss, which restores an individual's hairline and improves their appearance or grooming options.
How is it done at RichFeel
The 'Aesthetic Hair Implants - AHI' technique available at RichFeel's clinic in Indore is a low-risk procedure, which is very different from standard transplantation techniques which are highly invasive and leave unattractive scar. The experts at RichFeel use a licensed mechanised extractor with tiny punches of 0.5 - 0.8 mm in diameter; thus speeding up the process by extracting a high number of hair follicles in a short period. It is excellent for people who don't wish to spend hours in the hospital as there is no medical aid required after the treatment, and you can continue your normal day-to-day activities after one day of the procedure.

Please submit your details below.

Mr. Mihir Khurana
" Baldness was a sinking feeling with each day passing by, till the time I discovered RichFeel. Happy to have fought hair loss. I owe a Big Thank You to RichFeel, for getting me the right fit of a system- that looks so real. The staff was very skilful with the measurements. With proper guidance, they helped me to manage my new found hair. The derma hold base is perfect and stays put for weeks together. Imagine people asking you what oil have you used to regrow your hair.
Mr. Vijay Bhosale
" My name is Vijay Bhosale. I am a 29 year old guy working in Merchant Navy. I was facing severe hair loss problem from quite some time. And staying in ships for longer periods aggravated my problem even more. Luckily, I happened to see the ad of Richfeel and went to their clinic for consultation. I initially went through TST treatment to stop hair fall and then later surgery to combat my baldness in some areas of the scalp. It's been more than 4 years to my association with Richfeel and I am very happy with the results. I will recommend Richfeel to all those who are suffering from any kind of hair and scalp problems.
Mr. Jitender Sansanwal
" I had lost my hair from front side, and it was only progressing. When I chose Richfeel for my surgery, I think I made the right decision. I was explained the process of surgery in detail. On the day of my surgery I did spend more than half a day at the clinic setting but did not get the feeling of being ill. My surgery was smooth and I felt normal the next day. It's been a month after my surgery, there is no scar at all. I am very hopeful and positive about the results
Hair clinic also known as a trichology center is a specialised clinic that provides various treatment for problems related to hair and scalp. The treatments offered mostly cover hair problems such as hair fall, hair thinning, baldness, hair transplant, scalp issues such as dermatitis, dryness of hair and scalp etc.
Both men and women who have suffered significant hair loss to expose scalp or have bald patches can undergo hair transplant. However, people who have scalp problems such as scalp psoriasis, scalp dermatitis, keloid tendency of scalp skin, etc. cannot go for surgical hair transplant. Also people who get bald due to health conditions such as Alopecia areata or cancer cannot go for hair transplant.
If you do not wish to go for hair transplant, you can try hair system offered by Richfeel. We make customised hair wigs that are easy to use and feel comfortable on scalp skin. You can also style your hair the way you want.
The baldness in men and women is a result of hair thinning that usually is a result of hormonal imbalance. In men, androgen causes damage to the hair follicles and increases risk of irreversible baldness. In women oestrogen counteracts and stops the negative actions of androgen. However, at a stage where oestrogen levels drop and androgens rise, women too start losing hair. The hair thinning in men progresses through seven stages. the pattern of hair loss is U-shaped. It starts with thinning on the crown or hairline, which advances to top of the head finally leaving only a band of hair on the back side. In women, the hair thinning progresses through three stages starting with diffuse hair loss or thinning on the top.
Anacover uses a special derma pigment to make the hair appear thick and dense. It is usually recommended for people who have scanty hair in the front side that exposes scalp. It can also be used as a combination solution with a hair transplant to provide additional density. Anacover treatment can camouflage hair transplant scars from strip or FUT surgery. It can also effectively hide birthmarks and accident related scars or burns. Anacover also helps in eyebrow reconstruction and reconstruction of nipples for breast cancer patients.

Two of my adopted sons are in currently serving their country in the Army. My husband and I couldn't be more proud. These two young men aren't my blood children but spent an enormous amount of time in our home, along with their sister, from the time they were in middle school and on into high school. Adam and Seth are great, great friends of my son. Adam and his siblings are very special to my husband and I, and they know our door is always open to them.
Adam went into the service first and his younger brother, Seth, followed a couple of years later. Seth is currently stationed stateside but will be heading to Iraq about the time his brother will be coming home. He recently came home for a long weekend and it was great to see him. He stayed with us all weekend and he and my son picked up right where they left off. Going, going, going, out late, seeing friends, on the computer, and eating, eating, eating. Hopefully he will come home again before going "over there."
When Adam originally found out he was going to Iraq he asked his lady love, Jess, who is also in the service, to marry him. Unfortunately we couldn't go to the wedding but they sent the pictures. They got married in Florida on the beach. It was lovely. They have been very fortunate as a young married couple that they have been together during their tour of duty in Iraq. What an interesting way to begin a marriage!
We recently received an email from Adam and Jess with pictures of their reenlistment and I want to share them with you.
This is Adam and Jess taking their oath of service.
Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww! That's so sweet. Notice the flag folding going on the background. We recently presented a program at PTO and one group of our fourth graders demonstrated how to fold a flag properly. I wonder who does it better?
Notice the background. Adam and Jess are standing on the balcony of one of Saddam Hussein's palaces. Cool, huh?
These next two are taken from the same balcony. Apparently the buildings around the water's edge is where Saddam's top assistants would live.
Here's a few of the palace itself.
Look at this bathroom. Notice what they are using the "foot washer" for. Crazy Americans!
Isn't that just hilarious. Easy access to the tp, huh?
Well, my hat is off to Adam and Jess and their decision to reenlist. I will continue to pray for them both and for Seth too. If you don't already have a soldier to pray for feel free to adopt my special sons and daughter-in-law.

My Special Soldiers

What a nice story! You hear so much negativity and fear stemming from the war, but a heartwarming love story is a nice change of pace.:)
You are right to be proud, and anyone who reads this post will be thinking about your special sons and daughter-in-law. I think one thing that has been learned after the Vietnam War (although not by everyone; there are always going to be some idiots) is that whether or not you support the action our nation takes, the soldiers deserve our support and our prayers.
Great stuff. Nice liberated toilets.
Anyways, you should be proud of those kids!

Unless you demand it! Even then, the inclusion of Genesis-era mascots Toe Jam and Earl in the upcoming Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing sounds unlikely, according to word attributed to developer Sumo Digital.
A very concerned Toe Jam and Earl fan writes on the official Sega forums that he received word from the creators of Sega Superstars Tennis and Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing, casting doubt on the funky duo making an appearance in the kart racing game—but not for a lack of wanting.
"ToeJam and Earl were characters we did want to include in Sega Superstars Tennis," according to "Steve," a representative from Sumo Digital. "Sega had looked into it, but it transpires that the rights to the characters actually belong to someone else. I know Sega tried to resolve this so we could include them – but this wasn't successful."
The same is unfortunately true for Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing "at this stage," news that may induce a serious panic on Funkotron.
A follow up from Sega Forum member and Kotaku tipster NinMicroSega indicates that the current rights to the Toe Jam and Earl IP belong to one half of the creative team, Greg Johnson. We're guessing that Johnson could be persuaded to license said rights to the characters for the upcoming racer, given the necessary amount of compensation and vocal fan support.
Would you voice your support for such a thing? What if the addition of TJ&E in the 2010 Sega racer was a... pre-order exclusive?!
Toejam and earl fans, unite!! [Sega Forum]

Syria, Mali expose Muslim world divisions
CAIRO (AP) — The leaders of Muslim countries offered conflicting approaches to the crises in Mali and Syria on Wednesday, exposing some of the deep divisions that run through the Islamic world.
More than 25 prime ministers and presidents are taking part in a two-day summit of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation in Cairo, which brings together leaders from across the Muslim world.
In his opening address to the gathering, Senegalese President Macky Sall commended France for its military intervention in Mali, and said the Muslim world cannot allow "a minority of terrorists to commit crimes, distort our faith and deepen hatred for Islam."
He was alluding to the Islamist militants who seized control of northern Mali before a French-led force, which includes troops from Senegal, began to roll them back with airstrikes and a ground offensive.
The French operation has received broad international support, including from the Malian government itself, although Egyptian President Mohammed Morsi has repeatedly denounced the intervention, saying it threatens to perpetuate instability across the region.
Addressing the summit Wednesday, Morsi stopped short of condemning Paris for its actions in Mali, but made clear that Cairo did not support it.
"We call for a comprehensive approach to deal with the situation there and any similar case" he said. "An approach that deals with all the different aspects of the crisis and its political, developmental and intellectual roots while safeguarding human rights."
Turning to Syria, Morsi sharply criticized President Bashar Assad's embattle regime, saying it "must read history and grasp its immortal message: It is the people who remain and those who put their personal interests before those of their people will inevitably go."
The conflict in Syria has been deeply divisive in the Middle East, pitting a largely Sunni opposition against a regime dominated by Assad's Alawite minority — a heterodox offshoot of Shiite Islam. Sunni states such as Egypt, Saudi Arabia and Turkey have thrown their weight behind the rebels, while Shiite heavyweight Iran is Damascus' closest regional ally.
Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki, whose Shiite-led government has been ambivalent about the Syrian conflict, offered a more cautious approach to Syria. In power for nearly seven years, al-Maliki is said to be worried that his grip on power could weaken if the Sunni majority in neighboring Syria succeeds in overthrowing Assad and a new Sunni leadership takes power in Damascus.
"Syria suffers from violence, killings and sabotage," he said, and called on the summit to "find an exit and peaceful solution for its conflict."
At least 60,000 people have been killed in the Syrian conflict. Hundreds of thousands have been displaced, and many of them have found refuge in neighboring nations Jordan, Turkey and Lebanon.
But the longest-running and deepest division in the Islamic world, the Sunni-Shiite fault line, has also surfaced this week. It was on full display during a meeting on the eve of the summit by its highest-profile participant — President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad of Iran.
Sunni-Shiite tensions dominated talks between Ahmadinejad and Egypt's most prominent cleric, Sheik Ahmed el-Tayeb, who upbraided the Iranian leader on a string of issues and warned against Iranian interference in Gulf nations, particularly Bahrain, where the ruling Sunni minority has faced protests by the Shiite majority.
El-Tayeb said attempts to spread Shiite Islam in mainly Sunni Arab nations were unacceptable and called for a halt to bloodshed in Syria, where Tehran's ally President Bashar Assad has been battling mainly Sunni rebels, according to a statement by Al-Azhar about the meeting.
The two-day Islamic summit is organized by the Saudi-based, 57-member Organization of the Islamic Conference created in 1969. Syria's membership has been suspended for its government's violent crackdown on the uprising there.
