Vancouver Whitecaps FC Elite Girls are in action on Sunday in Metro Women's Soccer League (MWSL) Cup play. They face West Coast FC Kerrisdale in their first game of group play.
The 'Caps finished their regular season in the women's league last weekend with a 3-3 draw against Columbus FC. It was a slow paced game until the final ten minutes, when the two sides exploded for six combined goals.
Whitecaps FC Girls Elite head coach Jesse Symons took some positives out of the game, but felt his team looked flat in their final game of the season.
"We kept the ball well, but we didn't really create many opportunities and can definitely look at that and discuss that going forward over the next few weeks," Symons told Beacon News following the game.
Margaret Hadley tied the game 1-1, while Summer Clarke scored the two following goals.
Despite the draw, the 'Caps' girls finished their first season in first place - playing against adults in the women's league - with a record of 10W-1L-2D.
Their one loss this year was a defaulted game early in the season when the team did not have enough players available to compete.
The 'Caps opponents on Sunday, West Coast FC Kerrisdale finished the season 2W-10L-1D.
The two sides played in the first game of the season with Whitecaps FC dominating West Coast 12-0.
The game is scheduled for noon Sunday at Montgomery West field located Montgomery Street and 45th Avenue in Vancouver.
Following the game against West Coast, the girls face a tough test the following week against NSGSC Renegades, a team that went 8W-3L-2D this season.
The two teams met twice in the regular season, with the Girls Elite squad taking the first meeting 5-2 and following up with a 4-1 victory two months later.
The Renegades are scheduled to play CMFSC Xtreme on Sunday.

Small living room Coffee Table
Find the perfect side tables for all the rooms in your home at Crate and Barrel. From modern coffee tables and contemporary console tables to classic side and end tables, our table collection can help you add style and functionality to any space. Learn more about the coffee and side table selection we offer.
Types of Tables
Coffee Tables: Low tables typically placed in front of the sofa, coffee tables are an easy place to set remotes, magazines and books, as well as an essential piece of furniture for your living room. At Crate and Barrel, you'll find coffee tables in a full range of sizes and designs.
Console Tables or Entryway Tables: Taller than coffee tables and with narrower tabletops, console tables—sometimes called entryway tables—look stylish nestled against the wall. Use as a functional surface behind a sofa or to create beautiful storage in your entryway.
End Tables and Accent Tables: Smaller and with less surface area than coffee tables and console tables, end tables and accent tables are usually used at the end of a bigger piece of furniture. The tables can either match the height of the sofa or chair arm by which they're placed or sit slightly lower.
Side Tables: As the name suggests, side tables generally reside on the side of the room, away from the main table but still near the sofa, chaise lounge or any armchairs in the space. Small in size, these tables are more similar to end tables than to coffee tables and are more than just living room furniture pieces—they're also a great addition to bedrooms and home offices. Plus, many of our tables can also be grouped together to create a bigger surface as needed.
Table Shapes and Styles
Rectangular: A classic coffee table style, rectangular tables fit perfectly with larger sofas.
Square: Square coffee tables are effortlessly stylish and are a great complement to smaller sofas and sectionals.
Round: Modern in design, these tables are a perfect fit for contemporary homes. Round coffee tables are also a great solution for smaller living rooms, as they take up less space.
Oval: An alternative to round tables, oval tables tend to be longer and are a good fit for larger living rooms.
No matter what your furniture style, you'll find something for your space in our selection. Choose from a variety of table options. We have classic side and coffee table styles as well as more contemporary designs. In addition to these, we also have mid-century modern, Parsons, rustic and more. We also offer nesting tables, which can be a great space saving solution in smaller homes and apartments.
Table Materials
With proper care, our coffee and side tables are designed to last for years of use in your home. We have tables constructed of durable woods, including sheesham wood, reclaimed teak, acacia wood, reclaimed pine, walnut, mango, driftwood and more. In addition to our wood tables, we also have marble coffee tables with metal frames and a variety of tabletops, such as glass, concrete, wood and more.
Other Occasional Tables We Offer
In addition to coffee and side tables, we also offer a full range of other styles. Our accent tables are great for adding to any space that needs an extra surface. To create a beautiful entryway or for a surface behind a sofa, try our console tables. Whether you choose one table or mix and match various styles, you'll create a beautiful space with our selection of occasional tables.

Seal Of Approval
|hearpen.com: [Home] [View Cart] [About Us] [Technical Issues] || ubuprojex.com
Release Schedule: hearpen.com aims to produce 8 releases a year, one a month on the second Tuesday of the month, excluding summer (June, July & August) and January.
Beginning with the May 2014 release we are introducing Apple MPEG-4 audio (m4a) format files. This is the format used for iTunes Plus. Over the course of time we may upgrade earlier releases to this format, particularly studio recordings. Buyers will be notified of any upgrades for free download. Meanwhle, we have been working with MP3 at the Unix level (LAME 3.99.5) and find it quite good - decisions on format in the future may well vary according to the relative strengths of the two formats for a particular release.
UbutiqueFor those of you in search of the Physical Object, the sister company to Ubu Projex, Ubutique, is a PayPal internet shop that sells as much related Physical Product as it can get its hands on: cds, some vinyl, posters, t-shirts, etc.
What We Arehearpen.com exists to sell soul. It's not merchandise. It's not content. It's called music. We offer downloads of recordings for which a commercial release is not deemed practical in the current marketplace, as well as rarities, live recordings, limited releases, and anything else of note by Pere Ubu and bands related to Pere Ubu or Ubu Projex.
How We Got To Where We AreDownload audio has constricted the marketplace. We must find our proper niche. That niche will be the place where we can control our output and offer it on terms that we can live with. It is not possible to enter into a commercial contract without negotiating download rights. It is intensely frustrating to hear sound that we've spent months meticulously constructing being reduced to a dog's dinner with lousy encoding ratios. If it's going to be out there we want it reproduced in such a way as to adequately convey the meaning of the sound. So we'll do it ourselves. Follow this link for a detailed explanation of the technical and aesthetic decisions made.
Every medium is a compromise but given the years we struggled under the extremist regime of Vinyl Production it's not a stretch to use the Apple MPEG-4 or MP3 formats when the marketplace has made the commercial release of many kinds of music production effectively impossible.
So, for studio recordings we use high quality encoding. At the cost of relatively large file sizes, we can deliver a Quality Listening Experience to our customers. We wouldn't bother if we didn't believe it. We don't sell what we don't endorse. And there ARE some advantages to the medium from an artistic POV.
A Note on Sound QualityIt behooves you to check this link for our attitude towards live recordings. We toyed with the idea of rating technical sound quality, and soon gave it up. Clearly, cassette tapes from the 70s and early 80s - or any era - are not going to be hi fi experiences. If you want to hear Pere Ubu from the Pirate's Cove in 1976 it's going to be... ambient. That said, cassettes can yield pretty good quality. (See if you can spot the track from the Raygun Suitcase Director's Cut which is actually sourced from a cassette recording of an early test mix.)
The Physical Object vs. The Virtual SubjectIn spite of running a virtual record company, we remain passionate about the aesthetic virtues of the physical object. We are therefore dedicating some effort to enabling the consumer to hand-make their own physical object from downloadable audio and artwork files. In 1975 Hearpen Records was one of the first of the DIY labels. It was gloriously amateurish - we hand assembled and glued together the record sleeves. We shlepped packages down to the post office. 33 years later the market has cycled round to the same place - the only difference is that now we get the record buyers to hand-make their own records and their own sleeves - that's what we call progress! (And there's no more shlepping!)
Many releases from August 2008 linked to printable booklets and tray cards in a PDF format. After a discussion with Chris Cutler in a cafe in Avignon we decided to replace that method with pdf liner notes. Feel free to comment on things we can improve on.
The Transaction Processhearpen.com accepts major credit cards in payment as well as PayPal transactions. Originally we offered the option to cherry pick purchases of individual song files. Very few people purchased individual songs so for the sake of simplifying the accounting procedures we've eliminated that option. Only entire release purchases are now offered. After the purchase phase of your transaction you'll be presented with a page listing your download(s). Click on each the "Click here" links to initiate download. You will also receive an email with a download link for each purchase. If you encounter problems with the download page then try the email URL. The links will expire after you've downloaded the files five times or 120 hours after your order is placed. The download(s) will appear on your computer in your default download location. They appear as a zipped file. Once unzipped drag the song files to your iTunes window or import into your MP3 player. Once imported the song files will display song titles, band names, proper running order, any artwork and album titles.
LIVE ALBUMS: They are presented in their original running order. We toyed with the idea of leaving in all between song noise, nothingness, talk and applause but given the increase in file size this would yield, and the various opinions on the value of this approach, we decided against it. Nevertheless, for some live releases, we have included some of the "better" ambient bits. You may want to set your MP3 player preferences to "gapless," according to your own tastes.

Five Oscars that should be taken back by force
14 comments:

I can agree with most of your comments, with the exception of "Apocalypto". "Incomprehensible"? That's all you have to say about it? Gibson went WAY outside the normal boundaries on this one and made a movie no one else would attempt. And, in my opinion (everybody has one), he succeeded.

I agree with all but the slam on Mel Gibson. Mel's issues are his temper and drinking problems. If he didn't have those issues he would have been ALLOWED to direct many more movies that would have likely been great. I personally loved Apocalypto because it used the native language - and the action was great. Movies like that are so rare...

I think we have to includ Gwynneth here. 13 years later, and I'm still wondering how she won an Oscar for Shakespeare in Love when her competition was the oft undersung Cate Blanchett who was fabulous in Elizabeth.

Sorry, I forgot about the relentlessly dull Kate Hudson. She's tied with Cuba Gooding Jr., though, on the easy target list.
And I am not slamming Mel Gibson as a person. (I even wrote a blog post earlier this year saying that we needed to separate the man from the artist.) I just think "Apocalypto," which did indeed go way outside the box -- and gets props for that -- makes no doggone sense.

So the criteria is "what have you done since" rather than did they deserve it at the time? The latter would have been a more interesting approach, LT. The New York Jets won a super bowl once, but haven't done much since. Doesn't mean they didn't earn it that one year.

My wife and I were talking the other night about actors who have been type-cast to play a certain type of role. One actor who hasn't been type-cast, but seems to be playing the EXACT... SAME... CHARACTER... (if it's even a character anymore) in every movie in the last 10-15 years is Tom Cruise. I admit I like some of his older movies but jeeze it seems like every year or so now its like...oh yay...another stupid Tom Cruise action movie where he's playing a bad a$$...but he's not very "bad". It's just Tom Cruise saying his lines with that stupid little half smirk on his face. But yet, we keep going to see them.

I disagree with your entire premise. Oscars are given each year for achievement in film that year. Except for the honorary lifetime achievement awards, they should not be given as recognition for a great career (then you get Martin Landau's performance as Bela Lugosi in Ed Wood beating out Samuel L. Jackson's performance as Jules in Pulp Fiction). Nor should Oscars be viewed as a prediction of great things to come. The Grammys and CMAs (among others) cover the latter concept with their Best New Artist Awards. There is no equivalent that I know of at the Oscars. By comparison, should Harper Lee have her Pulitzer Prize "taken back by force?" After all, she hasn't published a thing since To Kill A Mockingbird?
PS – Kate Hudson never won an Oscar. She should have in 2000 for Almost Famous, but she lost out to Marcia Gay Harden. Nothing Kate Hudson has done since can convince me that her performance in Almost Famous was anything less than brilliant.

Mostly agree. Except that Apocalypto is incomprehensible. That was a good movie. Very different and original compared to most movies these days. Other than that, I can agree with.

I agree with 12:24. Either LT should change the name of the article to "Five Oscar Flashes-In-The-Pan" or he should write a new article listing awards that The Academy probably wishes it could claw back ("How Green Was My Valley" over "Citizen Kane" and "The Maltese Falcon", "I Just Called To Say I Love You" over "Purple Rain").

Baseball's most discomfiting buddy comedy is near cancellation: Yesterday, the Baltimore Orioles designated outfielder Felix Pie for assignment, effectively ending his role as the some-of-my-best-friends-are-black clubhouse foil for redneck performance artist Luke Scott.
Scott—who made himself briefly famous during the offseason by questioning President Obama's citizenship—told ESPN's Amy K. Nelson during spring training that he would pelt the dark-skinned Pie with plantain chips ("bananas") "whenever he acts like an animal." At the time, the two pals were jockeying for playing time in left field for the Orioles. Scott went on to hit .220/.301/.402, and is currently on the 60-day disabled list after season-ending shoulder surgery. Pie, the former five-tool superprospect for the Cubs, was hitting a mind-boggling .220/.264/.280 when the Orioles finally gave up yesterday.
The most hopeful theory about Pie is that he is the kind of player who needs to be in the lineup every day to blossom. The flaw in that theory is that the unblossomed (or not-yet-blossomed) Pie was too hapless to put in the lineup every day, even for a last-place ball club. "I kept trying to give him some rope and see if he would run with it," Orioles manager Buck Showalter said.
(Because the Orioles are the Orioles, the decision to drop Pie coincided with starting center fielder Adam Jones being lifted from a game with mysterious chest pains.)
Pie has 10 days to be traded or claimed off waivers, if any other team wants to take a flyer on a 26-year-old who batted .299/.356/.469 in the minors, who once hit for the cycle in the majors, and who put up sometimes spectacular defensive numbers while also sometimes stumbling around the outfield in confusion. You never know! Brady Anderson was pretty awful through age 26, too.
Absent Scott and Pie, the role of slugging everyday left fielder who people trust to improve will be played by Nolan Reimold, who hit his eighth home run of the year as the Orioles beat the Twins yesterday and is now batting .223. The role of center-field prospect turned utility outfielder will be played by 25-year-old Matt Angle.

'They talk about gay or lesbian but never transgender'
A year ago the Government said it planned to recognise the human rights of transgender people in law. What progress has been made, asks ORLA TINSLEY, and how are Irish people with gender-identity disorder coping in the absence of that legislation?
Philippa had begun the medical path to transition in 2003, by getting the diagnosis of gender-identity disorder that she needed before she could have hormone treatment in Ireland and be referred for gender-reassignment surgery in Britain, under the Treatment Abroad scheme.
The scheme would be paying for her surgery – as it had paid for that of about 14 other Irish people between 2005 and 2010 – meaning that medical costs, sometimes an issue for transgender people, would be taken care of. Male-to-female surgery is less expensive, but female-to-male surgery is estimated to cost up to €60,000. Transgender people without a referral must go privately, at their own expense – a financial impossibility for many, according to transgender activists.
"I've done everything slowly, carefully and with as much consideration for everyone as possible," says Philippa. Starting hormone treatment in her mid-40s while married with a young daughter was both a relief and a conundrum. "Once I started it was a release of stress, but then I wanted more, because I was on the right route, and I said, Okay, how do I get to the next step?"
Helen needed longer to accept the transition in her family home. Social pressure left her exasperated. "Should I be in a relationship with a woman? I feel heterosexual, but love is love and we are in love," she says.
Philippa had begun expressing her gender identity in intimate situations with Helen; it became more significant when their daughter was born. "I took it as Philippa wanting to role-play or dress up at first, and then it developed. It was almost like for every inch I was willing to give she was trying to run a mile." Helen, having met other wives of transgender people, says there is a common feeling that their partners want to explore more because they are "just so happy to find someone who accepts them for who they are".
IN 2007 THE High Court ruled in favour of Lydia Foy, a transgender woman who fought for 15 years to have her acquired gender recognised on her birth certificate. The court ordered the government to create a method of recognising the situation of people whose gender was different from their biologically assigned one.
The European Convention on Human Rights has guaranteed gender recognition since 2002; Ireland was one of only a handful of European countries still without legislation, and as such the court found the State to be in breach of the convention by failing to have a way to recognise Foy's gender.
In 2010 the Government set up the interdepartmental Gender Recognition Advisory Group, to propose new laws. A year ago it gave Minister for Social Protection Joan Burton a series of proposals.
Among the conditions it recommended is that, as in the UK, people must be formally diagnosed with gender-identity disorder or provide evidence of gender-reassignment surgery to a panel of three judges (who will represent legal, medical and general fields, it is believed). Candidates must also live in what is referred to as their acquired or preferred gender for two years before seeking gender recognition.
Language is contentious. Transgender people prefer to refer to their gender identity as their "true gender", and some activists say it is dehumanising to assess a person's life before granting a gender-identity change.
Perhaps the most controversial element of the proposals is the recommendation that, in order to be recognised, the person must be single and outside an existing marriage or civil partnership. The Government's logic is that to allow otherwise would be to go against the Constitution by effectively permitting same-sex marriage. (The passage of gay-marriage legislation would change this, and last month Burton said her department was developing a draft heads of bill and had sought advice from the Attorney General on the marriage issue.)
Being forced to choose between her marriage or her life as a woman is impossible, says Philippa. "Do I choose to have my gender identity recognised by my own country or do I break up my family?"
Some activists say the stress caused by these legal problems, and by wider social issues, can push transgender people to the brink. "When people are unable to access healthcare and housing and are isolated from their families, that's what causes high rates of suicide within the transgender community," says Broden Giambrone, director of Transgender Equality Network Ireland.
Activists are unhappy with the Government's plans for legislation, saying the proposals simply copy UK laws. The UK automatically allows the marriages of people seeking gender recognition to be converted to civil partnerships, for example. Although it is one route, activists here say it would not be good enough, as marriage and civil partnership are not equal in law.
They also say that their suggestions were not taken on board. Although lobby groups were invited to submit proposals, Transgender Equality Network Ireland says it was told of the contents of the advisory group's report only half an hour before it was launched.
There are certainly other paths to follow. In the Oireachtas recently, Senator Katherine Zappone cited a 2011 report of the Council of Europe's commissioner for human rights, which described legal recognition of preferred gender as crucial and recommended that medical treatment and single status be dropped as requirements. And last month Argentina passed a progressive gender-identity law that allows adults to change their legal gender without needing either a medical diagnosis of a disorder or surgery. It also allows under-18s to change gender with the approval of their guardians. Under the proposed Irish legislation, transgender people under 18 would not be recognised.
THE MOTHER OF A 16-year-old Irish transgender girl who repeatedly tried to take her own life before getting treatment in the UK says children need access to hormone therapy before they reach puberty. "My child was so effeminate growing up we thought they might be gay initially."
When puberty began, her child could not be left alone, as her facial hair and breaking voice were making her suicidal. They looked for support in Ireland but could find little. "The endocrinologist we saw in Dublin said they could see the distress in our child but they were inexperienced and their hands were tied."
A mobile library that visited school pushed her daughter to breaking point. Boys and girls were told to line up separately. Her daughter, who then lived as a boy, stood up with the girls. "She came home distraught, saying she had had enough of being talked to as a boy, and when my husband and I took her to our local psychologist the three of us broke down."
The psychologist referred the family to the Tavistock Centre, a mental-health trust in London, which put her on a pilot scheme for transgender children. After 12 months on hormone blockers, to stop male puberty, her daughter has started hormones to facilitate the first stages of female puberty.
"I think the fact that our daughter was so close to taking her own life, and had attempted it, helped our case. I don't know what would have happened otherwise."
Now at secondary school, her daughter has no issues from classmates or the school generally. "When she came out, in sixth year, the principal said she could start dressing as a girl, but she told us she wasn't ready." The principal spoke at assembly to explain her daughter's transition and warn against bullying.
For the mother, early help is key. "It takes great courage to do what our child did, but these children need to be treated and acknowledged before puberty sets in." She draws parallels with her daughter's situation and gay rights. "Years ago it was illegal to be gay, and now it is getting better. In SPHE classes" – social, personal and health education – "they talk about gay or lesbian but never transgender. It should be included in the conversation. Then any prejudices can be nipped in the bud early in life, so children know this is not a lifestyle choice."
Her daughter will be regularly assessed until she is ready to transition, "and that will be her choice too".
'It was only when I started getting periods that I realised I was not biologically a boy'
Clarity about the difference between sexuality and gender is paramount, says Darrin Mathews, a 22-year-old arts student and transgender man, who was born biologically female. "One of the common misconceptions is, 'Is it easier to be a trans man than to be a lesbian?' It makes me angry when people ask, but it's typical from a heteronormative society that doesn't understand."
When he was a child his morning routine involved shaving alongside his mother's boyfriend. "It was only when I started getting periods and other boys weren't that I realised I was not biologically a boy," he says.
Long spells lying in bed after school as a teenager, particularly during menstruation, prompted visits to a GP and a diagnosis of depression. It was Mathew's mother who changed things. "She asked me if I was transgender. She described it as though a man was walking towards her and she just knew."
Hormone treatment left Mathews wiped out and low, so his mother took him to the UK for treatment. Now he gets the bus on a Sunday to arrive on a Monday and come home on a Tuesday. "I'm two years doing that now and two years on testosterone," he says. His moods have improved, and he is leading workshops for transgender young people.
But binding his chest to fit in with his male gender, which he has been doing since he was 17, has left him with painful ribs, and he can no longer do it every day. "Chest surgery is the next step for me, but the diversity of transgender experience means some people seek surgery and others seek only hormone treatment, while others wish only to have their gender legally recognised."
Mathews, who says the proposals are a step in the right direction, is unsure whether to opt for full genital reconstruction, in case he wants children later in life.

Aplin leads ASU's Red past Black 28-14
JONESBORO - Senior quarterback Ryan Aplin passed for 313 yards and four touchdowns Saturday to lead the Red team to a 28-14 victory over the Black squad in front of a crowd of 6,115 at Arkansas State's spring game.
Ryan Aplin
The Black team jumped to a 14-7 lead midway through the first quarter, but the Red team scored the game's final three touchdowns on passes from Aplin to junior running back Michael Dyer, senior tight end Anthony Kincy and senior wide receiver Taylor Stockemer.
After allowing 121 yards and two touchdowns, including a 34-yard run and 8-yard pass by redshirt freshman quarterback Zach Davis, over the game's first eight minutes, the Red team's defense clamped down to allow just 62 yards the rest of the day. The Red squad's defensive efforts were led by senior linebacker Nathan Herrold with eight tackles, while senior corner Chaz Scales was responsible for their only turnover with an interception.
Davis' long run opened the scoring with 10:06 left in the first quarter, but the Red team responded with a 55-yard touchdown pass from Aplin to junior receiver Carlos McCants less than a minute later. Davis' 8-yard scoring pass was hauled in by Booker Mayes at the 7:14 mark of the first quarter, but the Black team managed just three first downs the rest of the day.
Dyer's 18-yard touchdown reception tied the game at 14-14 with 13:14 left in the second quarter, and the score would remain deadlocked until 4:42 in the third quarter when Kincy hauled in a four-yard touchdown reception to give the Red team its first lead. The red team concluded the scoring on Stockemer's touchdown catch covering 15 yards at the 7:35 mark of the fourth quarter.
Dyer paced ASU's rushing attack for the Red team, recording 85 yards on 15 attempts. Sophomore running back Frankie Jackson added 59 yards on 12 carries, including a 31-yard run that was the longest of the day by the Red squad. Redshirt freshman J.D. McKissic hauled in a team-high nine receptions for 73 yards, while McCants posted four catches for a game-high 105 yards.
The Black team was led by sophomore running back Rod Smith, who recorded a game-high 97 rushing yards on 16 attempts. Playing quarterback for the Black team, Phillip Butterfield completed 5 of 13 attempts for 29 yards and Davis connected on 4 of 5 attempts for 21.
Defensively, the Black squad was led by Charleston Girley with eight tackles, a forced fumble and a sack. Tim Starson added two sacks and Lawrence Cayou one more for the Black squad, which also had two fumble recoveries by Andrew Tryon and Bryan Jones. Several ASU defensive players saw time for both the Black and Red teams.
The Red Wolves will conclude their spring camp next week. Season tickets for ASU's 2012 campaign are currently on sale at the ASU Ticket Office. The ticket office can be contacted at 870-972-ASU1, or tickets can be purchased online through A-State's official athlet- ic Web site AStateRedWolves.com."

Richard Turere, 13, had reason to despise lions while growing up with his family on a ranch in Kenya: The beasts routinely killed their livestock, which he was largely responsible for. Rather than fret, however, the clever boy put his mind to work and devised an invention that not only deters lions, but does so without killing or injuring them.
The invention, one what has proved remarkably successful after a series of other experiments had failed, stemmed from Turere's discovery, when he was 11, that lions became skittish at night when people walked around with flashlights.
"I discovered that the lions were scared of the moving light," he told CNN.
He gathered dozens of LED lights and rigged them to a battery and solar panel that powered the family television. He devised a way to make the lights flash and placed the bulbs on poles surrounding the livestock enclosure.
The nighttime livestock raids ended, and Turere's "Lion Lights" system is now widely used in the region, helping ranchers deal with the predators in a manner that no longer has to involve shooting them.
"I did it myself, no one taught me, I just came up with it," Turere said. "I had to look after my dad's cows and make sure that they were safe."
Because of his ingenuity, and his adeptness at engineering without training and with limited resources, Turere was invited to Southern California for this week's 2013 TED Conference, where he has shared a platform with other top innovators. He also received a scholarship to Brookhouse International School in Nairobi, where he now studies.
Turere shared two of his previous lion-deterring ideas at the conference. One involved fire but that backfired, he said, because "it was helping the lions see through the cowshed."
Another was a scarecrow. "I was trying to trick the lions. But lions are clever," he said, explaining that on the first day the lions saw the scarecrow and fled, but on the second they realized the scarecrow wasn't moving and killed several cows.
Of being invited to the TED Conference, according to an event blog post, Turere told the crowd: "A year ago I was a boy in a savannah grassland. I saw planes fly over and I said I'd be inside one day. I had a chance to come by plane for the first time for TED. My dream is to become an aircraft engineer and pilot when I grow up."
To be sure, for this bright kid, the sky seems to be the limit.

Five Finger Death Punch to Launch Suicide Prevention Campaign With 'Coming Down' Video
Five Finger Death Punch are doing what they can to help prevent suicide by launching a new initiative in conjunction with their upcoming music video for their current single 'Coming Down.'
Whether it's supporting the troops or speaking out on emotional neglect — as they did with their previous music video for 'Remember Everything' — Five Finger are no strangers to doing their part for a worthy cause. Their latest philanthropic endeavor is suicide prevention — a topic they dive into head-first with 'Coming Down', their third single from 'American Capitalist.'
"Step away from the ledge / I'm coming down," vocalist Ivan Moody screams during the song's chorus, a message the band plans to further with the soon-to-be-released music video for the track. "Through support and awareness, suicide can be prevented," says guitarist Zoltan Bathory. "Five Finger Death Punch is promoting the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline to build awareness that there is support out there for those in need through the Lifeline's service, and others. This is an important initiative we have taken on to place it on the consciousness of the public that you are not alone when in need."
The clip — which premieres June 12 — promises to visually captivating, or as Bathory put it in our recent interview, "It's a pretty heavy video." The band members will be completely absent for this outing, being represented only by their song and its important message. The music video's final frame will display the call to action: "Don't ignore the chance to get help for you or someone you know who might be in crisis. Call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline now at 1-800-273-TALK (8255), suicidepreventionlifeline.org."
In addition to centering their music video on the important issue, Five Finger Death Punch will donate one dollar for every ticket sold for their upcoming Trespass America tour with Killswitch Engage, Trivium and Pop Evil.

Clash of the Titans (1981)
CLASH DANCE The well known and much revered stop-motion special effects guru Ray Harryhausen has brought numerous beings of various shapes and sizes to life over his career (The 3 Worlds of Gulliver, Jason and the Argonauts, Sinbad and the Eye of the Tiger). In the mythological world of Clash of the Titans there are many interesting characters and creatures. Playing God behind the camera one frame at a time, Harryhausen has brought some of his most memorable offspring to life (Medusa, Pegasus, Giant Scorpions, the Kracken).
STORYLINE OF THE GODS Here's the deal, Zeus (Laurence Olivier), in one of his many amorous exploits, has had a son named Perseus (Harry Hamlin). Due to Zeus' favoritism of Perseus over the Goddess Thetis' (Maggie Smith) son Calibos, a clash begins [insert opening credits and dramatic musical score here]. From that point on Perseus sets out on a quest to "fulfill his destiny" by defeating numerous obstacles, slaying fantastic beasts, and winning the hand of the doll-faced Andromeda (Judi Bowker). The script was penned by Beverly Cross who also scripted other Harryhausen films such as Argonauts and Eye of the Tiger.Continue Reading

Zack and Miri are two lifelong platonic friends who are deep in debt and enlist the help of their friends to make a porno movie for some quick cash. But as everybody starts "doing" everybody, Zack and Miri realize that they may have more feelings for each other than they previously thought.
The title really says it all doesn't it? It's a plot synopsis, a marketing plan, and a movie title all rolled into one. Who needs a movie poster? Just write the title on a piece with "directed by Kevin Smith", and audiences will show up to see it. Well some audiences. Ok, certain audiences. Kevin Smith's audiences.
You either like Kevin Smith, hate Kevin Smith, or have no idea who Kevin Smith is. The guy has an established crowd who he can count on to show up for his movies, and outside of that the world at large just doesn't seem to get it. He's kind of like the white Tyler Perry, and personally I wouldn't have it any other way.
Still, if Kevin's ever going to have a breakout hit, Zack and Miri Make a Porno has a good chance to be it. It's the cast stupid. The movie stars Hollywood breakout headliners Seth Rogen and Elizabeth Banks in its story of two friends making amateur pornography. Don't expect to see Rogen's penis though. At least I hope we won't see Rogen's penis. Hey Kev, can we get some sort of guarantee on that?
Penis or not, Seth Rogen's kind of a big deal, and Elizabeth Banks is on the verge of being a big deal herself. It's also a pretty big deal for Kevin Smith, a guy who's movies usually star his friends, and not bankable Hollywood talent. Maybe that'll be enough to wake audiences up to his genius. And make no mistake, genius is what he is. If you weren't already convinced by Chasing Amy, then Clerks II solidified it. What other filmmaker could make a sweet, romantic movie with donkey sex? Ok, maybe Judd Apatow, but even he has the good sense not to show the burro.
Maybe Seth and Elizabeth won't be enough to get the average moviegoer out though. Who knows? Not long ago USA Today printed the ridiculous assertion that moviegoers won't watch something with porno in the title. Maybe they're right. Or maybe they simply weren't aware that the entire internet was built on people's undying love of sex and nudity. Pornography is pretty popular, and I doubt it's popularity will suddenly die down because Kevin Smith puts the word "porno" in his movie title. Even Kevin Smith doesn't have the power to kill mankind's lust for new barely legal videos.
Not that Smith would ever make an actual porno. Porn may be in the title, but like all of Smith's movie Zack and Miri will likely only use nudity, and his trademark dick and fart jokes to say something deeper. Of the film Smith says, "What's weird about it is, it's dirty. But it's so incredibly sweet." Sounds like a Judd Apatow movie again, doesn't it? Except Smith was doing Apatow long before Apatow was Apatow. He just doesn't get the credit. Kevin knows dirty and sweet, and Zack and Miri Make a Porno should be something pretty special.

In QGIS, I need to place road numbers on a map (they are point labels) in solid rectangular boxes to make them stand out. Ideally they need to be the same colour as the road they refer to, so a motorway number should be in a blue box because the motorways are blue etc.
The boxes also need to scale with the label size, as some roads are for example 'A9', whereas others are 'A4567'. The roads and their labels have codes defining their type so this could be used to set the colours.
Is this possible?

(2012; 70 pages)
Aiming to respond to an increasing number of large scale disasters and emergencies, the prevention and management of serious threats to the survival and health of the affected populations, requires from the countries to be prepared with a timely and appropriate emergency and disaster management plan. Soon after an emergency, it is important to focus in providing continuous health services in health facilities, disease surveillance, and providing the needed essential medicines. A standard medicines list in emergencies and disasters permits an effective response with medicines and medical devices using standard, pre-packed kits that could be kept in readiness to meet priority health needs in emergencies.
The provision of the medicines from the EDEML will help in reducing any excess in morbidity and mortality due to communicable and non communicable diseases in populations affected by disasters and emergencies.
Chronic conditions were recognized as an important health concern in emergencies and disasters: cardiovascular diseases (hypertension, ischemic heart disease, cerebrovascular disease and heart failure), cancer, diabetes, acute and chronic respiratory disease (asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) and mental health problems (psychiatric disorders and symptoms derived from severe distress). The priorities during the acute phase of the emergencies are to treat exacerbations and minimize treatment interruptions.
Much of the affected population is likely to suffer a wide range of symptoms of anxiety and other psychological problems caused by severe distress and constrained living conditions. It is necessary to differentiate normal reactions to the disaster, which can be handled through psychosocial interventions, such as psychological first aid, from those that require a specialize treatment and represent an increase in prevalence of mental disorders. Furthermore, it is also necessary to be prepared with adequate and continued care to treat people with severe mental disorders which should not interrupt their treatments. An Essential Medicines List is prepared to address the medicines needs of the affected population post emergencies and disaster.

This material is available primarily for archival purposes. Telephone numbers or other contact information may be out of date; please see current contact information at media contacts.
Cassandra Brooks is a Stanford University doctoral student with the Emmett Interdisciplinary Program in Environment and Resources.
She spent two months in 2013 aboard the National Science Foundation-operated icebreaker Nathaniel B. Palmer as part of a research cruise investigating the role of dissolved organic carbon in the Ross Sea ecosystem.
She--and a video she produced on the voyage--became worldwide media sensations, appearing in stories published by sources as diverse as the San Jose Mercury News, CNN and YouTube. The video is a time-lapse sequence, compressing about 60 days into less than five minutes, taken from the ship's bridge as the ship "carves" forward through the ice.
Brooks is studying international ocean policy and is focusing particularly on Antarctic marine ecosystem protection.

Safety tips to live by this holiday season
TAHOE/TRUCKEE – The winter holidays are a time for celebration – and that means more cooking, decorating, entertaining and overall increased risk of fire due to heating equipment.
According to the National Fire Protection Agency, between 2005-2009, U.S. fire departments responded to an average of 240 home fires that started with Christmas trees per year. These fires caused an average of 13 deaths, 27 injuries, and $16.7 million in direct property damage annually.
Below are simple life-saving steps you can take to create a safe and happy holiday.
Preventing Christmas Tree Fires
• Selecting a tree for the holiday – When buying a live tree, look for one that is not shedding needles. If needles fall off or branches snap when bent, the tree is already too dry.
• Keep trees watered. A mixture of lemon-lime soda and water will keep a tree moist longer.
• Keep trees away from all heat sources including fire places, stoves and room/space heaters.
• When purchasing an artificial tree, look for the label "Fire Resistant."
• Secure the tree firmly in tree stand to keep it from toppling over.
• When tree becomes dry, promptly discard it. Please consider using the IVGID Waste Not Free Holiday Tree Recycling Program. This service will be available Dec. 22 through Jan. 31. For more information on this program, please call Waste-Not Hotline at 775-832-1284.
Lights and Candles
• Do not use candles on a Christmas tree.
• Place candles where they will not be knocked down.
• Keep candles away from curious pets and children's reach.
• Be extremely careful with candles that have leaves, flowers, pinecones or other decorative items cast into them. These items can become wicks and ignite the candle in a way that the candle is not designed.
• Keep lights or candles away from anything that could easily catch fire (NFPA reports that half of home candles fires occurred when some form of combustible material was left or came too close to the candle).
• Please do not leave holiday lights or candles unattended.
• Inspect all lights and cords before using them. Discard all lights with cracked or broken wiring and never overload circuits.
Holiday Decorations
• Keep wrapping paper and ribbons away from heat sources. This includes candles, lights, fireplaces, stoves and heaters.
• Wrapping paper and ribbon should be thrown away in trash containers, not fireplaces. Burning paper and ribbon could cause a chimney fire.
• Put decorations high enough on the tree so your child or pet can't reach them. Children can choke or cut themselves on ornaments or ornament hangers.
• Holly and mistletoe are poisonous. Keep them away from children.
• Use only nonflammable or flame-retardant decorations and place away from heat vents.
• If you are using a metallic or artificial tree, make sure it is flame-retardant.
Watch What You Heat
• Stay in the kitchen when you are frying, grilling or broiling food. If you leave the kitchen for even a short period of time, turn off the stove.
• If you are simmering, baking, roasting or boiling food, check it regularly and use a timer to remind you that you're cooking.
• If you are using a turkey fryer, please follow the manufacturer's guidelines and instructions, and remember that the Underwriters Laboratories (UL) has chosen not to certify any turkey fryers with the UL mark because they consider them to be dangerous to use presenting numerous safety hazards to consumers.
Fireplace Safety
• Check and clean the fireplace and chimney every year.
• Always put logs and newspapers on a grate inside fireplace and use a fireplace screen.
• Please do not use gasoline, lighter fluid or kerosene to start a fire and make sure the fire you build "fits" your fireplace (use an appropriate amount of newspaper and logs).
• Place completely cooled ashes in a metal container. Keep metal container outside away from the house in a safe place.
Give Holiday Gifts That Promote Fire Safety
• Smoke alarms. If a fire occurs, having a smoke alarm cuts the chance of dying by half.
• Carbon monoxide detectors – helps detect carbon monoxide (CO), a colorless, odorless, poisonous gas.
• Flashlights for emergency lighting instead of candles, to avoid the risk of fire from an open flame.
• Sturdy candleholders to prevent tip-over when candles are lit.
• Sturdy fireplace screen, to keep embers out of the room.
• Gift certificates for chimney cleaning can reduce oily creosote build-up in chimneys that can be easily ignited.
• Portable fire extinguishers, with clear instructions on how to use them.
• Oven mitts for handling cooking equipment.
• House address numbers – our local ordinance requires 6 inches for residential and 12 inches for commercial structures.
• Stocking stuffers. Download fire safety information – including home escape plans from NFPA's website (www.nfpa.org).

Here's a recap of everything you've been missing in the entertainment-sphere if you've been hiding under a rock-no judgment here.
Downton Abbey's U.S. premiere of season 4 just wrapped. The furtive, longing glances were just as good as ever. I won't reveal any spoilers but the important thing is that Mary has 50 suitors (just a bunch, no big deal) and poor Edith is still alone. #feelinlikeedith
This awards season is truly exciting, with fantastic, dynamic performances from the ones in 12 Years a Slave to American Hustle. Jennifer Lawrence is still supremely charming and my vote for girl crush-if only she actually ate as much as she professes to, then she would be perfect. Lupita Nyong'o is the most beautiful being that has ever appeared on this earth, on point with all her fashion choices. If they don't make a Barbie or some sort of doll-replica of her soon I'll be shocked. Matthew McConaughey's random speeches add to the fun although they are slightly grating (here's to hoping Leo takes the Oscar). "Alriiiiight, alriiiiight, alriiiiiiight."
One award that Matthew McConaughey should win for his immense comeback? An Emmy. He is brilliant in HBO's True Detective, a show with as intense and dark an ambiance as McConaughey's character himself. Seriously, though, that Quaaludes scene alone makes Leonardo DiCaprio deserve the Oscar. His extreme difficulty going down the stairs reminded me a bit too much of myself after midterms. Can't. Make. It. To. Dorm. Too. Defeated. If Pink does some of the acrobatic wonders she did at the Grammys I am going to cry tears of wonder and jealousy. As long as it's not like that year Beyonce sang every single nominated song. I'm not sure Ellen DeGeneres (host this year of the Oscars) will push the envelope as much as Tina Fey and Amy Poehler, though. Must I remind you of the now-classic lines: "'Gravity' is nominated for best film. It's the story of how George Clooney would rather float away into space and die than spend one more minute with a woman his own age." And, of course: ""Like a supermodel's vagina, let's all give a warm welcome to Leonardo DiCaprio."embedded by Embedded Video

After the sad excuse for an Olympics I'm looking forward to the return of new episodes. Then I'll finally be able to stop hating myself for watching The Bachelor's Juan Pablo. Don't judge man, it was between that and curling.
An exciting book-to-film is coming out this summer! No, not Fifty Shades of Grey, I do have some dignity…it's The Fault in Our Stars! Shailene Woodley plays Hazel (or as Augustus lovingly calls her, Hazel Grace)-proving that one can star in an incredibly banal show, The Secret Life of the American Teenager, and still be a good actress.
Speaking of ABC Family shows, there is no shame here when I recap the latest on Pretty Little Liars. It's the most tweeted about show, I'll have you know. Basically, Ezra, the high school teacher, turns out to be just a regular creepster, not an evil genius creepster, which was incredibly disappointing and infuriating. He did provide possibly the best excuse of all time though (which I will be using as I write my final papers): "I was writing a true crime novel." KThx.
If you're actually looking for a smart show, may I recommend The Good Wife? With its spitfire writing, power-house acting, and complex turns it may be the smartest show on right now. That's saying a lot, as TV is more like a stimulating lube tube right now for the mind, with provocative shows like Girls, Breaking Bad, and Homeland, than its previously condescending title.
If you're looking for some cute/smart fun Parks and Recreation is still the most underrated quirk of a comedy gem. The Mindy Project is also back with a vengeance this season, funnier than ever with absurd shenanigans-including a sexting fiasco gone wrong.
Finally, I would be remiss not to mention a couple of things that are guaranteed to brighten up any winter blues. I mean guaranteed. First off is The Lego Movie-one of the most clever and genuinely funny animated films in a long time. Second, I have two words for you: Broad City. My sister turned me on to this new show, full of the most awkward hilarity, basically an unpolished Girls. Perhaps the best episode so far is "Working Girls" when Abbi, one of the main characters, goes to retrieve a package for her apartment crush. The lengths that must be traveled-man we feel you (fake cough Student Services, just saying).
Alas, we come to the end…of my procrastination. Enjoy the Oscars tonight!

What's in your IT governance plan? According to a recent survey from Forrester , the measurement and accountability of IT investments is clearly lacking. Indeed, many organizations are challenged with finding the ROI in technology investments. However, the pervasiveness of IT as essential to companies' day-to-day business strategies -- along with financial constraints brought on by the global economic recession -- require organizations to become proactive in assessing whether they're getting maximum results from their tech investments. How corporations leverage IT has emerged as a required core competency that further advances the need for effective governance policies. "Good IT governance ensures that consistent methodologies and practices are employed to deliver products on time, on budget, on scope, and with high quality," according to the report. "It answers key governance questions âare we doing things the right way, and are we doing them well?' " Also notable from the survey findings: CIOs are the most called-upon executives within organizations to oversee the IT governance effort. Nearly 110 IT decision-makers took part in the survey. Here are selected highlights:
87 percent of respondents either have a formal IT governance framework, or are working on one now.

AF's Eric Ehn "50-50" to return for NCAAs
Just hung up with Frank Serratore, who was boarding a plane in Rochester, N.Y., where Air Force captured its second straight AHA playoff title Sunday with a 5-4 2OT victory over Mercyhurst.
Personally, I'm thrilled for Frank and his boys. And make no mistake, I believe they could make a nice run in the NCAA Tournament, even if they go to the West Regional in the Springs … hottest team in the country right now (8-0-1), which is not lost on CC coach Scott Owens (his quotes below)
Anyway, here's some of Frank's thoughts:
"We'd like to play in the Springs, in front of our fans. And we'd play the Tigers, what the heck, you know?"
Eric Ehn status?
"He's 50-50 right now. That would be an emotional scene, returning to the same ice he got carried off on a stretcher (Jan. 19). I don't know if he's going to get there, but he could. It would be close."
Last year AF made its NCAA debut, now you're back. Validation of the program?
"It validates a lot. Beating RIT (Saturday) before 4,000 people with orange t-shirts was big. If you remember, they couldn't play in the tournament last year, after winning the league, and they thought we took their title. So that was a big win for us. In both games, we proved we got a good hockey team. We're the real deal."
AF is 9-1-2 without Ehn, who broke his leg in the CC game. Ehn ultimately required ankle surgery and was considered done for the season.
"Those numbers prove that we're a very deserving champion in our league," Frank said.
Here's what I filed for Tuesday's notebook:
By Mike Chambers
The Denver Post
In a year the Frozen Four returns to Denver for the first time since 1976, each of Colorado's three Division I teams combine for an unprecedented chance to advance to the NCAA semifinals.
Question is, will Colorado College, the University of Denver or Air Force have to play each to get to the Pepsi Center?
We'll find out Sunday, when the NCAA selection committee releases its 16-team field, which is split into four, four-team regionals.CQ
For now, we know that CC, the West Regional host, is guaranteed to play March 27 at the Colorado Springs World Arena. The Tigers will be a No. 1 or No. 2 seed, depending on how they fare in two games this weekend at the WCHA Final Five in St. Paul, Minn.
Air Force, a No. 4 seed wherever it goes, has a good chance to be place at the West Regional, and face CC in the first round _ if the Tigers are the No. 1 seed.
"I think there's a good possibility, and you know, it would be great," CC coach Scott Owens said Monday. "Great for Colorado Springs. Great for Air Force. But you just don't know. Part of me says there is going to be enough tickets sold without Air Force . . . But it would be exciting. Here you have this regional, and two of the four teams are from that city."
On the other hand, Owens said, "I wouldn't be thrilled about playing one of the hottest teams in the country." The Falcons will take an NCAA-best nine-game unbeaten streak (8-0-1) into the national tournament.
"I think most guys would like to play there, because it's our home," Air Force senior Frank Schiavone said. "But I don't think anyone really cares that much. We're excited to play anywhere."
DU, meanwhile, appears entrenched in a No. 2 seed and, because of Air Force's attractiveness to play in the Springs and CC chances of being a No. 2 seed, the Pioneers likely will go elsewhere.
This week. For WCHA top-seeded CC, the next goal is to win the Broadmoor Trophy as WCHA Final Five champion, which would be a program first and solidify the Tigers' No. 1 NCAA seed.
"We've never won the Cup named after the hotel in our town," Owens said. "And so that's our goal, and if we accomplish that we'll probably have a No. 1-band.
"You can't try to plan who you're going to play in the NCAAs. We're going to try to have some league playoff success that we've never had, and then see what's ahead of us."
Validation. Air Force hockey, considered by some as a club sport in its first 30 of 40 years, are Atlantic Hockey Association playoff champions and NCAA Tournament qualifiers for the second straight year.
"It validated this group as a champion," Falcons coach Frank Serratore said after team beat Mercyhurst 5-4 in double overtime for the AHA playoff crown Sunday. "There's an old saying, 'Once is luck; twice is skill.' Last year we won the championship and it was the first one and we came out of nowhere . . . We're not a one-hit wonder."

Jerusalem may have the gravitas, but Tel Aviv has the fun. This Mediterranean city—a.k.a. The Bubble—is remaking itself as a hub of progressive art, ambitious cuisine, high-end shopping and matkot by the sea.
Author Joe Keohane Photography Ronen Goldman
THEY CALL TEL AVIV "The Bubble"—though, typically, no one seems able to agree on what that means. Some Israelis use it as a pejorative, implying that Tel Avivians are a bit flighty and that their success is built on less than solid foundations. The residents of this cosmopolitan Mediterranean city, meanwhile, tend to embrace the moniker, arguing that the Middle East could use a little levity. "Sometimes we feel like we're in the mouth of a volcano," says Guy Sharett, a local linguist and tour guide, "and sometimes we want to drink and dance."
Founded in 1909 by 66 Jewish families fleeing overcrowding in the ancient port city of Jaffa, Tel Aviv grew quickly, outlasting the Ottoman Empire and the British Mandate and, in 1948, serving as the staging ground for Israeli independence. All the while it attracted immigrants from around the globe: the Jewish architects escaping Nazi Germany who gave it the highest concentration of Bauhaus buildings on earth (the hue of which earned Tel Aviv the nickname "The White City"), the artists who gave it its culture and the entrepreneurs who gave it its cash.
Today, Tel Aviv is the cultural and economic heart of Israel, but for all its weighty history it is perhaps best known as a riotous good time—which, as visitors soon learn, should not be confused with frivolity.
Well, not entirely.

The Hunting Plan
Before you depart, leave a hunting plan with a family member or friend. A hunting plan tells where and with whom you intend to hunt, and when you expect to return. It also should contain specific directions on your route to your destination and any alternate destination you may have if bad weather changes your plans.

Pujols, Kendrick homer in Angels' win over Rangers
ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — It took the Los Angeles Angels 4½ months to catch the Oakland Athletics and move into first place in the American League West.
Albert Pujols and Howie Kendrick homered to give the Angels an early lead on the way to a 5-4 victory over the Texas Rangers on Saturday night.
The Angels (72-49) are alone in first place in the AL West for the first time since 2011, but they are only two percentage points ahead the Athletics, who lost at Atlanta on Saturday.
"We haven't accomplished anything yet," Pujols said. "Let's not get too far ahead of ourselves. When we accomplish our goal, then we can talk about it."
With his team in fifth place, Rangers manager Ron Washington talked about the division race.
"I think it's going to come down to who continues to pitch well," he said.
The Angels finished 78-84 and in third place during an injury-plagued 2013 season.
"It definitely feels good to be on the track we hoped to be on last year," manager Mike Scioscia said.
One reason for their improvement to the best record in the major leagues is a better bullpen.
Huston Street worked a scoreless ninth inning for his 33rd save in 34 opportunities. It was the second straight night the Rangers rallied before losing 5-4.
Los Angeles has won nine in a row over Texas, tying the series record set during the 1985 season and matched a year later.
Street hasn't allowed a run in 12 games with the Angels since being acquired from San Diego on July 18.
"He's just a bona fide closer," Scioscia said. "He has created an opportunity for us to shorten the game by moving (Kevin) Jepsen up to the seventh inning, and Joe Smith up to the eighth."
Angels starter Matt Shoemaker (11-4) pitched three perfect innings before Shin-Soo Choo led off the fourth with a home run, but by that time, the Angels led 5-0.
Kendrick added two singles in a 3-for-4 night. Kole Calhoun had a single and a double for the Angels, and Erick Aybar had two singles.
Pujols hit a solo homer in the first against starter Colby Lewis (8-10). Kendrick hit another solo shot in the second.
Los Angeles' Chris Iannetta doubled home another run in the second, and Calhoun singled to drive in two more in the fourth. Both hits, like Pujols' homer, were with two out.
Angels: Los Angeles activated RHP Mike Morin (left foot laceration) from the disabled list. He pitched an inning in relief.
Rangers: Rios made his fourth consecutive start after aggravating a sprained right ankle on Aug. 10. RHP Yu Darvish (inflamed elbow) won't travel with the team to Miami on Monday, and will continue treatment in Arlington.
The teams' three-game series concludes on Sunday. Angels LHP Hector Santiago (3-7, 5.84) defeated the Rangers 15-6 on July 10 in Arlington. Texas RHP Nick Tepesch (4-7, 4.29) last faced the Angels on July 11, when he lost 3-0.
Rangers 1B J.P. Arencibia had been 0-for-19 before his run-scoring single in the fourth. RF Alex Rios was 0-for-16 before his two-run single in the seventh. LF Jim Adduci went 0-for-4, and is in an 0-for-20 slide. Angels CF Mike Trout went 0 for 5, extending his skid to 0 for 15.
Calhoun stretched his hitting streak to a season-high seven games. In six of those games, he has had multiple hits. He is batting .441 (15-for-34) during the streak. Calhoun has five RBIs in the series' first two games.
Texas CF Leonys Martin is 10-for-20 (.500) in his last five games, including two singles on Saturday.
Lewis struck out 10 batters for the first time since June 17, 2012. The 10-year veteran's career high is 12, posted May 10, 2012.
Kendrick's home run was his ninth in Arlington — the most he has hit in any road ballpark.

For the past five months, Julian Assange has been holed up in a tiny room within the Embassy of Ecuador in London. It's the only place in the city he can avoid extradition to Sweden—but it's having some serious implications on his health.
The Guardian reports that Assange has a "chronic lung condition"—it doesn't say exactly what—which could worsen at an any time. Sadly there's no easy way for him to receive the medical treatment he requires, as setting foot outside the embassy would result in immediate arrest.
Assange currently lives in a single office room in the Embassy. According to the Guardian, his lifestyle isn't helping his condition:
He eats mostly takeaway food and uses a treadmill to burn off energy and a vitamin D lamp to make up for the lack of sunlight.
Assange moved into the Embassy to avoid extradition to Sweden, when Ecuador gave him diplomatic asylum over the summer. Now, he's pleading with the British Government to allow him safe passage to a hospital from the embassy. Until then, he's receiving medical treatment within its walls. [Guardian]

'The Core of Civilization': Inauguration Panel Reflects on the Liberal Arts
Dartmouth Now
September 19, 2013
Hosted by President Phil Hanlon '77, the discussion was the first in two days of events celebrating Hanlon's inauguration as the 18th Dartmouth president in the Wheelock Succession...In addition to Gordon-Reed, the panelists were Stephon Alexander, a theoretical physicist and the Ernest Everett Just 1907 Professor; Associate Professor of History Leslie Butler, whose work centers on 19th-century American cultural and intellectual history; Donald Pease, the Ted and Helen Geisel Third Century Professor in the Humanities and President Hanlon's former English professor; and Joseph Helble, dean of Thayer School of Engineering and a professor who works on issues of the environmental impacts of fossil energy.
Michael Mastanduno, dean of the Faculty of Arts & Sciences and the panel's moderator, tossed unscripted questions at the panelists that challenged the ideals of a liberal arts education. In Helble's case, he jokingly asked why a dean of a professional school should even be on the panel.
Helble said that the liberal arts create the context for engineering problems, and that the curriculum helps future engineers understand how to ask broader questions and develop critical thinking.
He went on to argue that the discipline of engineering must inform the liberal arts as our world and technology become inseparable. Technology is integral to every aspect of modern life, he said, and an understanding of the "built environment" would be "hugely enriching, regardless of discipline."

Chorley crashed out of the FA Trophy after an untidy performance which had distinct echoes of last week's FA Cup exit. The scoreline was exactly the same and playmaker Tom Ince recklessly picked up a second red card. And it was also an afternoon to forget for keeper Jack Cudworth who was at fault for all three Whitby goals.
Cudworth's troubles began in the 6th minute when he was beaten by a half-hit Steve Snaith shot which crept under his unconvincing dive and just inside the post. Chorley finally hit their stride to equalise with a smart goal on 34 minutes. Ciaran Kilheeney's quick free kick released John Cunliffe who glided away from a challenge and comfortably beat keeper Nick Liversedge.
Ince and then Kilheeney both had chances to put Chorley ahead before the break. Andy Russell and Steve Foster missed glaring chances after the break.
And they were made to pay as Whitby took the lead on 82 when Snaith struck again after Cudworth failed to punch clear. Ince was sent off for a second booking soon after before Shane Henry sealed the win.

Cupcakes by Sonja: Soaring @ 7 from DessertComes1st on Vimeo.
Cupcakes by Sonja is soaring at seven.
When Sonja Ocampo opened her cupcake store in 2006, she couldn't have imagined the tidal wave effect that would ensue. She, quite literally, ignited what was to become Manila's love affair with these little cakes. In addition, I do believe that Sonja's the one who introduced Filipinos to red velvet, a flavor that was greeted with much skepticism (too red! so sweet!) but is now fully incorporated into our collective psyche of sweet.
For a long time, Sonja only had her store in Serendra, but on her seventh year, she's spreading her wings and soaring. Her second store opened not too long ago at Glorietta 2 and by year's end, she'll have five stores to her name. Impressive! Sonja and I have been friends for the past few years but we don't get to see each other often, which is why shooting this podcast was so much fun. She toured me around her store while we got to catch up and frost cupcakes.
Thanks very much to Sonja and props as usual, to my videographer, Bong Fernandez, who's starting to like dessert almost as much as I do. (Succumbing to sweets is inevitable for anyone who works with me).
The episode will stream in HD on this website. My previous podcasts can be seen here.
Enjoy, everyone! Now go and have yourself a cupcake, or three.

The influence of social media, games consoles and mobile phones on pupils' lives is one of the biggest crises facing the modern education system, it is claimed.
David Boddy, chairman of The Society of Heads, which represents more than 100 independent schools, says the country is in the grip of a "national attention deficit syndrome" because children spend so much time plugged into screen-based entertainment.
In a speech today, he will warn that children are now unable to concentrate "for more than the shortest of periods".

Ponds & Lakes Q & A
Q: Duckweed has taken over my pond! What do I do to eradicate it and prevent future outbreaks? – Sue in Michigan
A: Common duckweed, or Lemna minor, can take over a pond in no time. Growing in dense colonies in quiet, undisturbed water, these tiny free-floating plants, if left unchecked, will blanket a pond or lake over the course of several seasons, depleting the water body of oxygen, destroying fish populations, and killing submerged plants by blocking the sunlight.
Most often, these green invaders are transported to your pond on the feet of waterfowl, such as ducks, geese or even herons. The plants stick to their feet or feathers and can be carried for miles. Though water fowl and some fish eat duckweed, it typically reproduces faster than the animals can consume it.
Short-Term Solution
When controlling duckweed, you can use a fast-acting aquatic herbicide, like Ultra PondWeed Defense®, to knock down the plant population. The contact herbicide is designed to work best on mature aquatic weeds in a contained environment, and you will need to apply it to the duckweed multiple times for effective short-term control.
To spot-treat duckweed, mix 1 quart of Ultra PondWeed Defense® with at least 3 gallons of tap water and spray directly on the pond's surface using the pond sprayer. One quart will treat 5,000 square feet. To ensure safe oxygen levels, treat your pond in thirds, waiting 10 to 12 days between treatments.
Long-Term Control
For longer-term control, use Sonar™ A.S. or Fluridone. It's the least-expensive method of treating an entire pond, easy to apply, safe for aquatic life and lasts an entire season. The herbicide is absorbed by the leaves, roots and stems directly from the water, and it works by inhibiting the weed's ability to produce carotene, a pigment that protects the plant's chlorophyll. Without carotene, the sun quickly degrades the green chlorophyll and the weed dies.
To treat one surface acre of duckweed in a 4 to 6-foot deep pond, we recommend you mix in a tank sprayer 32 ounces or 1 quart of Sonar™ A.S. with enough water to fill the tank. Place the spray nozzle directly under the water and disperse evenly around the pond. It can be applied in early spring before the weed even appears, which means you can get ahead of it before it becomes a problem. Keep in mind that it needs to stay in your pond for up to 90 days, so it's not recommended to use in ponds with heavy overflow or during times of heavy rain. Also, Sonar™ A.S. will be degraded by the sun so we suggest to add Nature's Blue™ Pond Dye or Black DyeMond™ Pond Dye right after treatment to ensure the longevity of the application.

Frozen beef comes with USFS Conundrum Hot Springs cabin
When two Air Force Academy cadets snowshoed up to a US Forest Service cabin near Conundrum Hot Springs last month, they found they had company: The carcasses of several dead cows. The cows apparently got lost and wandered into the cabin to warm up, but couldn't get back out again, and died there.
They contacted the USFS, where rangers conceded the cows present a problem. Their bodies can't be removed by car because the cabin is in a wilderness area. They can't be hauled out by horse because there's still too much snow on the trail. (Too much snow on trails is a problem that almost every ski area this year wishes it had had.)
USFS rangers are considering torching the cabin (which is not historic) and everything in it to solve the problem.
Barbecue, anyone?
