Earlier today I wondered isn't time for Ozzie to tell us he made the right move going without Jim Thome. Well, Scot Gregor has Ozzie's latest justification:
"My conscience is very clear," Ozzie said. "If people, like I say, want to blame me, blame me. We had Jim here for four years and I always say I'm the luckiest manager ever in the history of baseball because I had him. He went another way. Good for them."
You feel you are the luckiest manager ever in the history of baseball because you managed Jim Thome and then you ran him out of town? Yeah right.
And he went another way? That's creative! But Ozzie's own words from January disagree:
"Right now, the only reason that holds me up with our conversation about Jimmy is I don't know how many at-bats we can give him," said Guillen.
I don"t see any 'if Jimmy wants to play for the Sox.' And what about Jimmy's own words?
"Ultimately, if things work out, I would love to come back. It's a great city. It's home. It has been a great place. Jerry, Ozzie, the whole organization, they have all treated me great."
Jimmy waited for the Sox. He didn't went anywhere until Ozzie rejected him.
Now, let's return to today's Ozzie:
"If it wasn't Jim, it could have been someone else. If (Nick) Punto hit the home run, I would have been 'God, I can't believe it.' If Jim hit the home run, good for them. I have no regrets."
I have the impression Nick Punto's home run hitting power is much smaller than Jim Thome's. And a visit to Baseball-Reference.com confirms my impression. Jim Thome hits a HR every 10.7 AB in 2010, while Nick Punto hits a HR every 233.0 at-bats in 2010. Damn!
What will Ozzie's next excuse be?
Will it involve aliens? What about UFOs?

It's been a heck of a week for Chestnut Hill residents Alice Salomon Bast, founder and executive director of the National Foundation for Celiac Awareness (NFCA), and Dorothy Binswanger, who serves as president of the board.
Bast, who suffered a stillbirth, several miscarriages, gastrointestinal problems and a host of medical issues as a result of celiac disease, was named the 2010 winner of the Philadelphia Award and was profiled in a front-page article in the Philadelphia Inquirer on Sunday, April 10.
"My yoga instructor said he cried while reading about my experience," Bast said. "He said he hoped he was making a difference in my life so that I could continue my work."
Sitting in the Chestnut Hill Coffee Company for an interview last week, Bast, 50, said the publicity surrounding the award caused a spike in hits to the NFCA website (www.CeliacCentral.org) and a host of emails from individuals who suspected they might have the autoimmune disorder.
"The stories are heart-wrenching," she said. "To hear from people who have suffered for years, like I had, and to realize a simple blood test could change their lives, is really hard to imagine. That's why our goal is to have one million people diagnosed by 2015."
Staying on message, Bast repeated that goal three times during the interview as Binswanger, her good friend, chimed in from time to time.
According to literature in their professionally designed packet, roughly one out of every 133 Americans has the celiac disease, but 97 percent remain undiagnosed.
One of them was Ed Snider, founder of the Philadelphia Flyers and chairman of Comcast-Spectacor. In a case study, he said he had been experiencing symptoms for 50 years and at one point had lost 25 pounds. Finally, he was diagnosed at the age of 72, now serves on the NFCA's board and is responsible for nominating Bast for the Philadelphia Award.
The Philadelphia Award was established in 1921 by Edmund W. Bok to honor those who act in service "to the best and largest interest of the community in which Philadelphia is the center." Bock, an editor, writer, community activist and philanthropist, is perhaps best known as editor of the Ladies Home Journal. Recipients have included H. Fitzgerald "Gerry" and Marguerite Lenfest, Judith Rodin and Ernesta D. Ballard.
Bast thought she was going to the Independence Foundation in Center City to pitch the board on funding her NFCA work, but instead a roomful of dignitaries greeted her with the news and applause.
"I cried when I learned I won," she said. "When I got outside I was so frazzled I couldn't find my car, and once I did I immediately hopped into it and called Dorothy."
It is hard to imagine that this 5'9" blonde who looks fit and vibrant was severely underweight, tired and suffering from fatigue and a host of other medical issues for six years. But Binswanger picked up the nightmarish saga.
"She was a mess," Binswanger confirmed. "Friends would ask me if she had anorexia she was so thin. We would take walks down by the Valley Green Inn and she would tire easily. She was frustrated and I was frustrated for her."
The pair met through their husbands who were schoolmates at Germantown Academy. David Binswanger is CEO of the family-owned Binswanger of Philadelphia, a real estate consulting firm, and William Bast is the founder and COO of Netreach, an Internet content management company based in Ambler.
"We would play mixed tennis as couples on Tuesday nights," Binswanger said. "Then we would go to dinner at McNally's, and she would have a salad and drizzle plain lemon juice over it because so many of the dressings had preservatives and gluten in them. But that has changed."
The number of gluten-free products went from 936 in 2006 to 2,675 in 2010. Thousands of restaurants offer gluten-free items, and gluten-free snacks are even offered at the major Philadelphia sports venues, thanks to Bast and her power of persuasion.
Binswanger stood by her friend as Bast went to see 22 doctors before a veterinarian finally suggested that her symptoms sounded like celiac disease – a condition seen in some dogs as well as humans.
The disease is triggered by the consumption of a protein called gluten, which is found in wheat, barley and rye. Individuals with celiac disease cannot absorb these nutrients that damage the villi or tiny finger-like projections that line the small intestine. The result can cause malnutrition, several forms of cancer, thyroid disease, osteoporosis, infertility and the onset of other autoimmune diseases.
Binswanger, who hosted the first fundraiser and tasting of gluten-free products at her home just before Halloween in 2004, has since had a family member die because his celiac disease went undiagnosed.
"My brother-in-law suffered from liver and colon cancer and died at the age of 60," Binswanger said. "We later found out that he had celiac disease. My nephew suffered from skin issues for years and got tested, and he tested positive. Now he is on a gluten-free diet and is doing well."
Bast credits Binswanger, a former sales and marketing executive, with bringing a creative flair to that first event.
"She created the Celiac Haunted House," she said. "Her four children got involved with one son lying in a coffin at the entrance holding a loaf of bread and a sign saying 'I'm still waiting for my diagnosis.' Then a vampire appeared with a pint of blood with information on how a simple blood test could diagnose the disease.
"A skeleton held a sign saying 'I had celiac disease.' But the best part was watching these adults, some who had celiac and some who didn't eating these gluten-free foods. They loved them and even left with desert." Lee Tobin, the creator and master baker of Whole Food's gluten free product line provided food for the event. From there, the ball kept rolling on and on.
"Some people started seeing gluten-free and thought it was a fad, but it's not. If you have celiac disease it is a lifelong diet. Even the smallest amount of gluten can trigger a reaction. A gluten-free diet is the only treatment available."
Bast travels the country giving talks at national meetings for pharmacists, food chemists, chefs and the largest natural food show in the world. The award and $25,000 prize she will be receiving on May 17 at the Philadelphia College of Physicians is specifically being given for the foundation's educational efforts, which include its website with a myriad of resources. The prize money will go back into the NFCA coffers.
Bast was the first to create online courses with continuing education credits held out as the carrot for physicians to bite.
A graduate of the University of Pennsylvania, Bast went to work in business and marketing for medical companies before starting a family. Her first baby, Elizabeth, was born in 1987 and weighed in at close to a healthy 8 pounds (The now 23-year-old is going to medical school next year). But then things turned around, and her second child, whom the couple named Emily, was stillborn, weighing in at just below 7 pounds. Then there were several miscarriages before daughter Beatrice Linnea was born in 1993, weighing in at a mere 3 pounds.
Later she would learn that while someone can be a carrier of the gene, it can remain dormant until a stressful event, like pregnancy, surgery or severe emotional distress triggers the symptoms.
Once she was diagnosed and on a gluten-free diet, her life had changed so much that she felt she had to share the information with others and educate the medical community. With some help, she applied for and received a $100,000 grant from the National Institutes of Health with the goal being early diagnosis through education.
Her creativity and marketing background kicked in as she came up with the idea of partnering with Quest Diagnostics, a medical-testing firm, to help get brochures into medical practices, and then the patients started asking doctors for the simple blood test. After that she started going after the food markets and restaurants encouraging them to carry more gluten free products.
"Locally, John Ingersoll of the Chestnut Hill Cheese Shop was a partner from day one," Bast said. "He is one of the first who stepped up, and his wife is a physician, so she came on board as well."
The NFCA is launching a GREAT (Gluten-Free Restaurant Education Awareness Training) Business Association to pay for the foundation's free services to patients. Fees range from $250 to $7,500 depending on a manufacturer's annual sales. The online course to train a restaurant costs $200.
She has made inroads with Wegman's Supermarkets and Walmart and is now working with the pharmaceutical industry to develop gluten-free medications.
The NFCA holds an annual "Appetite for Awareness" competition among big name restaurateurs and chefs in October at the Philadelphia Navy Yard.
As the interview reaches the one-hour mark, it becomes clear that Binswanger and Bast are the kind of friends who finish each other's sentences.
"When we go to visit with a prospective donor we introduce ourselves as Alice in Wonderland and Dorothy of Oz – that way people remember our names," Binswanger said, as the pair laughed while applying lipstick before posing for a photo.
For Bast, her storybook tale has had a happy ending.
"I feel great and I feel blessed to be able to do what I am doing and to have so many special people like Dorothy in my life," she added.
"Alice is all about bringing out the best in people and giving to everybody," Binswanger said. "She gives credit to everybody else, but I'm excited to see her in the spotlight receiving this award."

Crane's family roots, locally speaking, trace as far back as an ancestor purchasing a tract of land from William Penn in 1683. At the close of the 19th century, her great-grandparents grew up in Germantown before building a home on Montgomery Avenue in Wyndmoor in 1917.
The home was designed by architects from the Philadelphia firm of Mellor, Meigs and Howe, known for their private homes in the Main Line and Chestnut Hill, including some along Bells Mill Road and Hillcrest Avenue.
"There are many styles of architecture in Chestnut Hill," said Crane, who moved back to Chestnut Hill in the early '90s (she moved away for 12 years after college), during a telephone conversation in mid-January. "[There's] French Norman, Italianate, Gothic Revival and Cotswold, among others.
"Much of the stone used by architects is Wissahickon schist, which came from local quarries. People visiting the area are quick to comment on the exquisite use of stone seen throughout the community."
Before moving back to Chestnut Hill, Crane lived in Bryn Mawr where she worked as studio manager for the well known architectural photographer, Tom Crane. "I further developed my appreciation for architecture," said Bibby. The experience influenced her ability to identify sometimes-overlooked details when selling a home that might connect with buyers.
"When a photographer takes a picture for architecture, he needs to be able to tell the story of the house in pictures," she said. "He has to reveal the true sense of the house. Through my experience, I learned how to look at a space and recognize its best features and details. When I photograph my listings, I focus on telling the over-all story along with revealing what makes each property unique."
And while the real estate industry might not seem like an artistic outlet, Crane, a mother of two boys, finds she can be creative when marketing and selling homes. "I've always been a very visual person. Growing up with a mother in real estate, I have been exposed to the business most of my life," she said. "It wasn't something as a child I knew I wanted to do, but it kind of happened naturally. I was always around the business, and I learned a lot from my mom that you can't learn in a school or in a book."
Crane, a mother of two who now lives in Erdenheim, has worked as full time agent for Prudential Fox and Roach since 2004. Chestnut Hill is popular in today's real estate market "because it's a very established community," she said. "There haven't been the extreme fluctuations [in the market] that some communities have seen. I think people are drawn to the traditional beauty of the local architecture, the charm of our shops and restaurants on Germantown Avenue. There are a lot of community programs and an overall feeling of stability."
Crane was raised in Chestnut Hill and attended Springside School until 7th grade. She transferred to Agnes Irwin in Bryn Mawr, where she graduated in 1995. Her grandfather was one of the founding members of the Wissahickon Skating Club in 1956, where she skated with her friends after school.
"Many of us still live in this community today, appreciating a lot of things we enjoyed with our friends as children," she said. "They are the same things our children love growing up here today. My sons, however, like to swim in Devil's Pool, and after doing it once, I can pass on that."

"My grandmother was a reporter in New York before she got married and moved to Montana to start a new life on a ranch," writes Joyce Litz of Albuquerque, New Mexico. "At the time she didn't know how to cook, and learning wasn't easy — the place didn't even have running water. Still, she appreciated good food, so she persevered and became a great cook. Later my grandmother taught me ranch-style cooking, a lot of which involved getting simple but flavorful, hearty meals ready in a hurry."

Google X boss Sebastian Thrun revealed on Charlie Rose that sharing a photo fromProject Glass to Google+ was as easy as a nod, but a new Google patent suggests that the AR glasses could be controlled with the fingers.
According to United States Patent 8,179,604 filed back in September, but only made public on Tuesday, Google is considering a control mechanism that can either be embedded into wearable computers (such as a ring) or "affixed to a fingernail" that'll be used to interface with a head-mounted display (Project Glass anyone?):
In accordance with example embodiments, a wearable marker may be used for passive interaction with a wearable computing device. A wearable marker may take the form of a ring, a bracelet, an artificial fingernail configured to be affixed to a fingernail, a decal configured to be affixed to a fingernail, or a glove, among other possible wearable items. A wearable marker may further include an infrared (IR) reflective surface in the form of a surface pattern that is substantially optically invisible. A wearable computing device may include a head-mounted display (HMD) equipped with an IR camera device capable of detecting IR radiation reflected from the surface pattern on a wearable marker. The HMD and the IR camera device can function together to track position and motion of the wearable marker via reflection, and by doing so can recognize known patterns of motion that correspond to known hand gestures.
Is anybody else thinking of something along the lines of the interface used by John Anderton (Tom Cruise) in Minority Report but connected to the augmented reality glasses Google is cooking up?
Even more wild is that the "wearable computing device" could act as an identifier and load pre-configured settings based on each individual user. It'd be sort of like a biometric scanner or face recognition camera that "sees" who's using it. Kinda creepy, but just imagine!
U.S. & World
News from around the country and around the globe
This could also be a patent that's merely a patent and nothing more. Or maybe it was an idea that was scrapped in favor of nodding and head gestures.
If you've got time, feel free to dive deeper into Google's patent in the link below. It's worth a read if you love hearing about the future that Google is trying to build.

New here. Looking for advice
Hello I'm new to this forum. After 20 long patient years the time is right for me to get a dog and enjoy all the joy and perils that come with that journey. I have studied many breeds and due to my wife's allergies I went in the direction of Portuguese Water Dogs. After much research I've come to realize that this breed is a perfect fit for us. The next step was to see how my wife would react. So we spent quite a lot of time around dozens of porties. I glad to say it was a success. we have picked out our breeder and met the pups parents. The litter is due in 2 weeks and then another 8 weeks before i will be able to bring home my new best friend. It will be a long 2 1/2 months. In the meanwhile I am preparing as much as I can. Some questions I have, concern the puppy's well being. In particular I am looking for advice for which vet would be best for my Portie, anywhere in the Durham area would be great. Also I will be looking for help on finding a trainer or training classes. I have seen that I have a lot of choice in vets and trainers. I am just hoping someone will be able to guide me a good choice. Any advice will be much appreciated. Thank you for taking the time to read my long post.
Welcome to pets. Karl. I live in Edmonton so no help with vet/trainers here. Congrats on getting a puppy I can't wait to see pictures of him/her when she comes home. Do you have any names yet?
It Is What It Is
That is so funny that you ask about names for our puppy. It is topic number 1
In our household. We constantly are adding and removing names from our list.
The list is full of scratch out and names squeezed in.
Our favorites for a girl are. Ripley,Finlay,Piper,Willow Quincy and Skyler
And for boys Cooper, Parker, Zig Zag (our sons favorite) Crosby ( thanks to Sundays game ) and Sawyer.
Any other suggestions would be much appreciated. Also any opinions too :-)
First off - Welcome to the forum!
You are already SO ahead of the game because you are taking the time to research the best breed for your family in a thorough and intelligent manner. you get 5 high fives just for that.
My best advice on a trainer is that the best ones will be referred to you by people you trust. (friends, vets etc). Never pick a trainer or a vet simply based on location - go with referrals or research. I'm in Montreal and don't know people in your area but maybe somebody on our forum will have a personal recommendation for you .
I like group obedience training versus private as the dog gets additional socialization w/other dogs. Lots of opinions on training though.
Please tactfully EDUCATE or IGNORE posters you don't agree with.
Please PM me & Include URLs and post #'s for any issues and it's my pleasure to help.
I'm firm - but fair. Mind the Rules and enjoy your stay.

Thank you to everyone for the warm welcome.
I do like the advice of training in a group. I know that porties really enjoy socializing so it will be a big factor in finding a training school. There is a great dog park near me, unfortunately I know that Puppies shouldn't go to the parks until they are older. So any other social options will be important
I will continue on reading the forums with all their great information. I'm sure a lot of the answers I'm looking for are on there.
The breeder has told me that she has a great vet. unfortunately he's an hour away. Although I want to make the best choice for my pet, I'm just not sure an hour drive each way is necessary.
You could see if there is a puppy playground around that you can be with your puppy too. I would go to the playground just to watch it before bringing your puppy then you could decide if it's a safe place for your puppy.
Congratulations on the new addition!
I'm familiar with your off-leash park in Oshawa and you are right to avoid taking your puppy there until he/she is older. I take my weim there and he just loves it (you are so lucky to have that beautiful park). I do not take my papillon as some of the dogs get pretty boisterous and can unintentionally hurt the little ones.
Maybe make a few visits to Harmony Valley and ask around some of the owners advice on their vet experiences would be a good start. I found the park to be great socializing time for both me and my dog
FYI if you are on or near the Whitby/Oshawa border, I would highly recommend Dr. Kathy Kivi @ the Brooklin Vet Hospital on HWY 7 & Thickson.
That's great advice about asking around at the dog park. Don't know why it didn't dawn on me.
It is a great park. We take walks through it regularly and we didn't even have a dog. It will be a treat to bring Portie when it's old enough. I'm sure he'll love the creek.
Brooklyn isn't that far so having that reference is a great start. Thank you

Statement from House Democratic Leader Sam Singh on Gov. Rick Snyder's delay in taking action on state Unemployment Insurance Agency fiasco:
Thursday, January 5, 2017
"Michigan's Unemployment Insurance Agency has wrongly accused Michigan workers of unemployment fraud more than 20,000 times since 2013, causing untold heartache and anxiety for working families across the state. Instead of promptly addressing the problem, Gov. Rick Snyder waited until today to hold the agency's director accountable. The Snyder administration's lack of urgency resolving this problem is deeply disappointing. Michiganders count on their government to act in their best interest, and it's a shame that once again, Gov. Snyder failed to do that in a timely fashion."

Debate is raging in Washington over the origins of the "sequester" – the deep, almost-across-the-board federal spending cuts that go into effect March 1 if Congress doesn't act.
Exhibit A is Bob Woodward's book, "The Price of Politics," which describes how top aides to President Obama brought the idea to Senate majority leader Harry Reid (D) of Nevada in the summer of 2011, when Congress was grappling with the debt ceiling.
The sequester proposal became part of the agreement that allowed the government to keep borrowing to pay its bills – and, as has been repeated ad infinitum, it was never meant to go into effect. It was supposed to be so beyond the pale that it would force the White House and Congress to come up with a deficit-reduction deal that was more finely honed.
But Republicans have latched onto Mr. Woodward's book as the smoking gun.
Aha, they say, the sequester is Mr. Obama's baby. They've tried to get people to call it the "Obama sequester" or even the "Obamaquester." It doesn't exactly trip off the tongue, but it's more than the Democrats have devised.
Exhibit B is a July 31, 2011, PowerPoint presentation found by John Avlon of The Daily Beast in an old e-mail, reported on Wednesday. The slideshow was put together by House Speaker John Boehner's office and the GOP's House-based think tank, the Republican Policy Committee, and describes a "new sequestration process" that would cut spending across the board if the cuts weren't made by other means.
So there, say Democrats, the sequester is really a Republican idea.
The bottom line, concludes FactCheck.org, is that it doesn't matter. Both parties are responsible for this puppy, the fact-checking site's report says, because they both voted for it.
"The reality is that the pending cuts would not be possible had both Democrats and Republicans not supported the legislation that included them," FactCheck says.
The sequester was part of the Budget Control Act (BCA) of 2011, which passed the House with 269 "yea" votes – 174 Republicans and 95 Democrats. In the 100-seat Senate, Democrats made up most of the 74 "yea" votes, but there were 28 Republicans in that majority, as well.
Still, reminders of that bipartisan vote haven't stopped the blame game. In an opinion article in Wednesday's Wall Street Journal, Speaker Boehner asserts once again that Obama "invented" the sequester, and that the president's warnings about its fast-approaching implementation are ironic, given that it is a product of the president's own "failed leadership."
Boehner acknowledges that both congressional Republicans and Democrats "reluctantly" went along with the sequester, as part of the BCA, which kept the nation from defaulting on its debt. Furthermore, the sequester would not have come into play if Congress's bipartisan "supercommittee" – another creation of the BCA – had fulfilled its task: coming up with $1.2 trillion in spending cuts over 10 years.
Boehner and Obama have put out conflicting versions of what each proposed behind closed doors in the summer of 2011, creating an endless loop of "he said, he said." The public is left with little to go on in assessing the mess.
The reality is, most Americans don't get what's going on. The word "sequester" is hardly a part of everyday discourse. A poll published by The Hill newspaper on Feb. 11 found that only 36 percent of voters know what the sequester is.
Another 38 percent thought they knew, but picked the wrong answer. Twenty percent thought it had something to do with the debt limit. Eight percent thought it referred to a forthcoming ruling by the Supreme Court on the federal budget.
"Such a case would come as news to Chief Justice John Roberts," the Hill quipped.
This widespread public confusion creates a big opening for public relations. Thus the Boehner op-ed. Ditto Obama's event on Tuesday at the White House, where he surrounded himself with emergency responders and called on Congress to take a "balanced approach" that includes additional tax revenues – and keeps federal programs running and workers on the job.
The Republican effort to brand the latest Beltway crisis as the "Obama sequester" – by repeating that phrase over and over – should not be dismissed, says Kathleen Hall Jamieson, director of the Annenberg Public Policy Center at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia.
Ms. Jamieson agrees that it's a game, but it's still important.
"The Democrats have not effectively developed a line and repeated it as often [in a way] that offers the alternative narrative," she says. "The nature of repetition is such that when we hear something repeated and unrebutted, we're likely to believe it."

Sweden : SJ
Statens Järnvägar's (SJ) vision is to convince as many people in Sweden as possible to travel by train.
The idea is working so far, travel with SJ trains is increasing at over twice the rate seen in the passenger transport sector as a whole. And they currently carry around 70,000 passengers a day through their 350 stations.
SJ trains operate the Arlanda Express, the fastest and most environmentally friendly way to get from Arlanda Airport to Stockholm City, taking just 20 minutes. They also operate the X 2000 trains, which run on long-distance routes offering a comfortable way to get from A to B. SJ trains have spent millions renovating their InterCity carriages and since the summer of 2009 they've rolled out two new trailers every week.
SJ trains work daily to reduce their environmental footprint, with all trains powered by electricity. As SJ trains only buy renewable electricity from hydroelectric and wind-powered sources, the trains cause minimal emissions.

COLLEGE PARK, Md. – No. 2 Maryland advanced to its 12th College Cup in program history with a 3-1 victory over No. 10 Louisville in the quarterfinals of the 2012 NCAA Men's Soccer Championship Saturday.
A raucous Ludwig Field crowd enjoyed goals from London Woodberry, Jake Pace and Patrick Mullins as the Terrapins (20-1-2) avenged last season's NCAA tournament loss to the Cardinals (14-6-1). The Terps will face local rival Georgetown in the NCAA semifinals in Hoover, Ala., Friday at 5 p.m.
Maryland showed its intent in the opening 30 seconds of the match when freshman Schillo Tshuma's bicycle kick attempt was punched over the bar by Louisville keeper Mike Mauro.
The Terrapins continued to pour on the pressure and Woodberry cashed in, scoring his third goal of the season off a Taylor Kemp cross in the 34th minute. The goal was the senior centerback's first since he knocked in two tallies in a 3-2 win over College of Charleston on September 29.
Louisville struck back on the counter in the 40th minute. Zach Foxhoven got on the end of a Dylan Mares feed and put the ball past Maryland keeper Keith Cardona to even the contest.
Maryland took the lead into halftime after redshirt junior Pace weaved through the Cardinal defense and headed home aDakota Edwards cross into the far left corner.
The goal with 40 seconds remaining in the first stanza was Pace's fifth of the season and gave the Terrapins a margin that reflected their first half dominance.
Maryland controlled most of the second half, but was unable to capitalize on a number of chances. Sunny Jane and Mullins both had point blank efforts saved by Mauro, who tallied five saves for the game.
Mullins, a MAC Hermann Trophy semifinalist, finally provided the Terps with a two-goal cushion in the 68th minute. The junior knocked in his team-leading 16th goal of the season off his own rebound after a scramble in front of the net following a solid Kemp serve from the sideline.
Maryland, led by the backline of Woodberry, Edwards, Kemp and Jordan Cyrus, protected its lead for the final 20 minutes to secure its 12th trip to the College Cup.
"We played a great game against one of the great teams in college soccer…against one of the most well-coached, skillful and determined teams in the country," head coach Sasho Cirovski said. "This game had a lot of intrigue to it and our team came out with a hunger, a tenacity, a determination and a skillset that carried us through.
"I am delighted our seniors will have a chance to experience the College Cup. Every player that came here since 1994 has had a chance to play in the College Cup, and this set of seniors was not going to let that pass us by. They worked their butts off."
The victory gave Maryland its fourth 20-win season in its history, all accomplished under Cirovski, who is in his 20th season in College Park.
The Terps, who are returning the College Cup for the first time since 2008 when they won their third national championship, will face the third-seeded Hoyas live on ESPNU.

Moving Up
Joe Flacco, Ravens
Last week he was moving down. This week he's moving up, proving I can reverse field quicker than Barry Sanders. My, how quickly things change. Flacco got untracked against the Browns this week, going 22 of 31 for 262 yards, along with three touchdowns to Anquan Boldin. While I'm not ready to anoint him a surefire starter on a weekly basis, I'm certainly more comfortable starting him now than I was after the Bengals game. Let's call him a matchup quarterback for now since, hey, it was the Browns.
Kyle Orton, Broncos
I am forced to put Orton here, largely against my own will. I am typing but I do not control my fingers. And I'm not even inebriated. There are no excuses. The stats pour out at me. The Broncos lead the league in passing offense. Orton is the fourth-ranked fantasy quarterback. Passing yards: 1,078. Passing touchdowns: 4. When will I regain control of my functions? When will Orton play like the Orton we know? When will normalcy return?
Sam Bradford, Rams
Rookie quarterbacks are always a crapshoot in fantasy football, but Bradford is shaping up as a decent option after three weeks, even with the Rams getting horrible play from their wide receivers. He has a touchdown pass in every game (four in total) and is averaging a respectable 218 passing yards per game. Not great, but serviceable. Here's the kicker: Coming up, he has the Seahawks, Lions, Chargers, Bucs, and Panthers. With the byes starting this week, Bradford shapes up as a solid backup option at quarterback.
Moving Down
Brett Favre, Vikings
It's official—Favre and the Vikings passing attack are struggling badly in 2010. Whether Favre or the team's wide receivers are to blame should be of no concern to Favre's fantasy owners. Simply put, the Vikings can't consistently gain yards through the air, and their passing attack is a shell of its former self. Sidney Rice is on the PUP; Bernard Berrian is MIA; and there are more developments on the injury front, with Favre saying that he had a stinger in his (presumably) non-throwing shoulder and tight end Visanthe Shiancoe suffering a leg injury, believed to be a hamstring pull. At this point, Favre is a fantasy backup at best.
Donovan McNabb, Redskins
Thus far in 2010, McNabb has been a bit of a disappointment in Washington, both in terms of his actual play and in his fantasy production. He's been bad against the Cowboys, good against the Texans, and mediocre against the Rams. The part that concerns me the most is being mediocre against the Rams. Throwing for 232 yards on 19 of 32 passes with a touchdown and a pick against St. Louis is definitely a big downer for his fantasy owners. He's a matchup play at this point…and maybe not even that. He couldn't take advantage of a Rams secondary that was starting second-year cornerback Bradley Fletcher (who missed most of his rookie year with an injury) and was without their best defensive back, free safety O.J. Atogwe, for much of the game.
David Garrard, Jaguars
Garrard has failed to top 200 yards passing in his three games this season, throwing for 170, 173, and 105 yards in games against the Broncos, Chargers, and Eagles. With head coach Jack Del Rio clearly needing some wins to salvage his job, it's fair to ask how much longer he will stick with Garrard as his starting quarterback. In fact, Luke McCown may have taken over this week had he not suffered a season-ending torn ACL during Week 2. Garrard's only saving grace is that Todd Bouman was signed to back him up, and he's clearly not the long-term answer at quarterback in Jacksonville. Of course, with each passing week, Garrard is proving he isn't the answer either.
Moving Up
Peyton Hillis, Browns
With Jerome Harrison out for this week's road game against the Ravens, Hillis stepped up with a 22-carry, 144-yard, one-touchdown performance that may have solidified his place as the Browns top running back. It didn't hurt that he also chipped in seven receptions for 36 yards on just eight targets. Not many running backs get 100 yards on the Ravens, and fewer yet do it in Baltimore. While Hillis will never be mentioned with any of the better running backs in the league, he continues to prove that he can be productive when given an opportunity.
Ryan Torain, Redskins
I picked up Keiland Williams on waivers in a salary-cap league last week and debated signing him to long-term contract, but I had the nagging suspicion that maybe he wasn't really a sleeper. Maybe he was just on the roster as a third-down running back who contributed on special teams. Maybe the Redskins would add Ryan Torain from the practice squad and he would be the real sleeper in the Redskins backfield. Didn't he look good before he suffered a season-ending injury in his one start in Denver when Mike Shanahan was the head coach? What did it all mean? How could I figure this out? Then I checked the NFL ticker and saw the Redskins had signed Torain to the active roster. Grrr. Then he went out and got 46 yards on seven carries with Clinton Portis nailed to the bench for most of the second half. Double Grrr.
BenJarvus Green-Ellis, Patriots
Now we know why the Patriots traded away perennial tease Laurence Maroney to the Broncos, along with a sixth round pick for only a fourth round selection in next year's draft. It's because of the man with four names. Finally let loose by the Patriots offensive schemers, Green-Ellis pumped out 98 yards and a touchdown on 16 carries and caught one pass for six yards against Buffalo. The only caveat was that he got most of the playing time after Fred Taylor left the game having aggravated a toe injury. On the plus side, the Bills contained Taylor before he left (six carries, 16 yards) and Green-Ellis clearly outperformed him. Were the Patriots coaches watching?
Justin Forsett, Seahawks
Forsett was hardly dynamic this week against the Chargers, with 20 touches for 94 yards. However, the key stat is the distribution of the touches among Forsett, Julius Jones, and Leon Washington. Jones didn't touch the ball and Washington had a just single carry, so it looks like the running-back-by-committee approach is dead in Seattle—at least for now. While Forsett seems unlikely to have a breakout campaign given the Seahawks troubles on offense, he moves into low-end RB2, high-end RB3 status for the moment. Plus, he makes for a great option at the flex position.
Marshawn Lynch, Bills
In Bizzaro World…err, Buffalo, what's down is up, what's up is down. Lynch was supposed to be third string, but he's the lead back. Fred Jackson was supposed to hold the fort until C.J. Spiller was ready to carry the load, but he's the third-down guy. Spiller was supposed to be the backup and spell Jackson plus get plenty of work in specialized packages, but he's barely been seen. It's hard to get too excited over Lynch starting or over his production (143 rushing yards on 30 carries over the last two games), but he is the lead man for the time being. With plenty of injures at running back, Lynch is a decent option if you're hurting at that position.
Maurice Morris, Kevin Smith, Lions
That's only if Jahvid Best is hurt. Morris is mediocrity defined, and Smith is coming off a torn ACL suffered last year and has yet to dress in 2010. No, I'm not excited by either guy, but if Best is out, they are worth owning. Good luck figuring out which one to grab.
Kenneth Darby, Rams
That's only if Steven Jackson is hurt. There's a reason the Rams are reported to have interest in Larry Johnson, even though he looked washed up for the Redskins. It's because they've been trying to replace Darby for two years because he's not very good.
Moving Down
Clinton Portis, Redskins
Something happened on the way to Portis getting his season on track during this week's game against the Rams. Despite running well in the first half, Portis was nailed to the bench in favor of his backup Keiland Williams…err, make that Ryan Torain in another episode of "Which Running Back Will Mike Shanahan Use."
Brandon Jacobs, Giants
Hey, hey, hey, the Giants gave Ahmad Bradshaw almost all the touches this week against the Titans. Maybe it was a one week punishment for Jacobs pitching his helmet into the stands and blasting reporters. Or maybe it's a trend, since Jacobs received four touches in Week 2 and five this week. At this point, Jacobs shapes up as Bradshaw's backup, spelling him when he needs a breather and maybe getting some goal-line work.
Michael Bush, Raiders
Bush returned to action this week and got three carries for 14 yards. So, now we have a better idea of how the Oakland coaches will split the carries between Darren McFadden and Bush. What we don't know is whether McFadden will continue his history of being unable to remain healthy. It says here that we can expect a McFadden injury at some point in 2010, which makes Bush worth hanging onto for now.
Kareem Huggins, Buccaneers
We keep hearing that Huggins is going to get some touches. Then we see Earnest Graham getting some touches. Then we see LeGarrette Blount leapfrog Huggins to get some touches. But what we never see is Huggins getting any touches. Don't let your eyes deceive you. I'm not an overly bright person (at least that's what my wife tells me on a regular basis) but I do know that no touches always means no production.
Moving Up
Lance Moore, Saints
As I stated last week, Moore is the Saints player who gained the most fantasy value with Reggie Bush out of the lineup. While I have never been a big fan of Moore, he does produce when given the opportunity; it's just that he's not good enough to get a solid opportunity unless the Saints lose another player to injury. Of course, I like him better today more than ever, just because he made me look good. Here's what you need to know: In 2008, when Bush and wide receiver Marques Colston missed several games, Moore responded with a career season, catching 79 passes for 928 yards and a whopping 10 touchdowns. With Robert Meachem and Devery Henderson continuing to disappoint and with Bush out, Moore figures to be a big part of the game plan over the next several weeks.
Austin Collie, Colts
Meet 2010's current top fantasy football wide receiver, and not just by a little. Collie is 12 points ahead of Anquan Boldin, the next highest ranked wide receiver. With both Pierre Garcon and Anthony Gonzalez out with injuries, Collie went wild against the Broncos, catching 12 passes for 171 yards and two touchdowns. He is now on pace to finish the year with 144 receptions for 1,915 yards and 21 touchdowns. Odds of that happening: zero. Still, you get the drift. Plus, it's important to note that the Colts have struggled to run the ball, other than against the Giants. And their running production in that game was a mirage, as New York used their nickel package as their base defense. Plus, we found out this week just how bad the Giants run defense is during their loss to the Titans.
Roy Williams, Cowboys
Williams owners, repeat after me: Sell High. Sell High. Sell High. Williams was a starter-worthy option at wide receiver this week and would have been in Week 1 as well if not for Alex Barron's horrendous holding penalty that nullified a Williams touchdown reception. This week, he took advantage of the Texans secondary, catching five passes for 117 yards and two touchdowns. Perhaps most importantly, he finally seems to be on the same page as quarterback Tony Romo. While Williams won't come close to matching this production on a weekly basis, he is developing into a decent option at the flex position based on the matchup. Nonetheless, if you can sell high, do so now.
Moving Down
Vincent Jackson, Chargers
Two deadlines have now come and gone without Jackson being traded. The next one will come after his suspension ends and before the trade deadline expires, a period of only two days. What makes you think Chargers general manager A.J. Smith will lower his demands? Failing that, what makes you think that another general manager will meet Smith's demands if none have yet? Jackson's almost certainly down for the count in 2010. Move on.
Robert Meachem, Saints
So much for Meachem being a breakout candidate at wide receiver in the Saints high-powered offense. It certainly looks like the toe injury that cost him time in the preseason has held him back during the first three weeks of the season. In 2010, Meachem has been targeted just seven times, catching four passes for 38 yards. With Lance Moore having a breakout game this week and the team utilizing both Jeremy Shockey and David Thomas at the tight end position, Meachem has become a forgotten man in the Saints offense. Until that changes, you should consider him a forgotten man as well.
Moving Up
Aaron Hernandez, Patriots
Hernandez has come on over the last two games, catching six balls against both the Jets and the Bills while totaling 166 receiving yards. For the season, he has 13 receptions for 211 yards and is on pace to finish the year with 1,125 yards. While that won't happen, he's definitely shaping up as a key cog in the Patriots passing attack, and he has emerged as a solid replacement for injured running back Kevin Faulk on checkdowns.
Tony Moeaki, Chiefs
With the Chiefs passing attack having one decent game out of three, it's hard to get overly excited about the team's options at wide receiver and tight end. However, Moeaki, a rookie third-round draft pick, has been a surprise, with 12 receptions for 129 yards and a pair of touchdowns. He's not starter-worthy just yet, but given the struggles the Chiefs are having at wide receiver, Moeaki has some upside as a TE2.
Ben Watson, Browns
Watson has been a perennial tease over the course of his career, a player with excellent physical abilities who has been unable to translate that into production in the passing game. When he signed with Cleveland in the offseason, most fantasy pundits (me included) wrote off the possibility of him being a useful fantasy tight end. However, the opposite has occurred, with Watson catching nine passes for 109 yards and a touchdown over the last two weeks. While he's clearly not yet starter-worthy, he is getting enough opportunity to warrant backup tight end status.
Moving Down
Brent Celek, Eagles
I still like him, but come on, man! Celek has been persona non grata despite the Eagles offensive explosion over the last two and a half games. At this point, he is the biggest fantasy bust amongst tight ends, with a paltry nine receptions for 101 yards. Plus, he hasn't found the end zone. Don't sell low on him, but clearly he's in the Moving Down category.

The tarot is a deck of 78 picture cards that has been used for centuries to reveal hidden truths. In the past few years, interest in the tarot has grown tremendously. More and more people are seeking ways to blend inner and outer realities so they can live their lives more creatively. They have discovered in the tarot a powerful tool for personal growth and insight.
How Does This Course Work?My main purpose in this course is to show you how to use the cards for yourself. The tarot can help you understand yourself better and teach you how to tap your inner resources more confidently. You do not have to have "psychic powers" to use the tarot successfully. All you need is the willingness to honor and develop your natural intuition.
Learning the Tarot is a self-paced series of 19 lessons that begin with the basics and then move gradually into more detailed aspects of the tarot. These lessons are geared toward beginners, but experienced tarot users will find some useful ideas and techniques as well. For each lesson there are some exercises that reinforce the ideas presented. The Cards section contains information about each of the tarot cards. You can refer to this section as you go through the lessons and later as you continue your practice. These are the main features of the course, but there are many other pages to explore here as well.
What is the History of this Course?I began writing this course in 1989. I had been studying the tarot for some years, and I found that I was developing some ideas about the cards and how they could be used as a tool for inner guidance. In October 1995, I created this website. In October 1998, Learning the Tarot was published as a paperback.
My experience with the cards is in doing readings for myself, friends, relatives and acquaintances...probably the kind of tarot you are interested in. The tarot cards are not difficult to learn, but there is always more to them that can be learned. They are deceptively simple, but surprisingly rich.
What Is Needed For the Course?The only real requirement for this course is a tarot deck. If you don't have a deck, read through my comments on buying your first deck and then browse through my Tarot Deck Section. There are many choices. The on-line version of Learning the Tarot is illustrated with the popular Rider-Waite deck. This is a good deck to start with because there are pictures on every card which helps when you are learning. If you already have a different 78 card deck, you may use it with the course. The principles of tarot work are much the same no matter what deck you use. You can buy tarot decks in many places now. Bookstores often carry them, and many internet sites offer a variety of tarot decks for sale.
How Can I Take This Course?
Internet: You can use this course while connected to the Internet, just as you are now. The course is free, but please read the copyright message first. When you're ready, go to the contents page and begin exploring!
At Home: You can download the course to your own computer for personal use at home (while not connected to the Internet). or purchase the book from a local or on-line bookstore.
I hope you're intrigued enough to try this course. If you're still not sure, read Lesson 1. I think you will find Learning the Tarot interesting at least, and perhaps the tool you have been looking for to develop your unrealized potential.
Have fun and good luck!

Well, the second semifinal today between Andy Murray and Jo-Wilfried Tsonga may have been a battle between basket case and head case, but we have a winner: Andy Murray, trying to become the first Brit to win Wimbledon since Fred Perry 76 years ago, is going to the men's final.
Murray's long-deferred success got deferred even longer, as everyone had to wait for a Hawkeye review to establish whether or not his booming forehand winner was a winner. In the video above, listen to the BBC's Andrew Castle get choked up as the U.K. begins a 43-hour hype crusade for the never-would-have-guessed, deliciously tantalizing Sunday final: Murray v. Federer, best chance vs. last chance.
It took Murray four appearances in the Wimbledon semis before he broke through. And this will be his fourth Grand Slam final. Will he finally win one? Or at least win one set, which he failed to do in the first three?

Finally, Christian rapper Lecrae spoke exclusively with HipHopDX about the concept behind his new mixtape Church Clothes and his spiritual advisor role for No Malice.
Meek Mill Releases Dreamchasers 2, Signs To Roc Nation Management
This week, Meek Mill made some of the biggest moves of his career. The Maybach Music Group artist dropped his latest mixtape Dreamchasers 2, which features guest appearances from Drake, Big Sean, Kendrick Lamar, Wale and, of course, Rick Ross. Upon its release, the tape essentially broke the Internet, sending DatPiff.com's servers into overdrive. The tape's release preceded an even bigger announcement for the Philadelphia, Pennsylvania rapper. Not only is he aligned with Ross, but he's now in business with Jay-Z as Roc Nation management's latest signee.
Ab-Soul Drops Control System Album
Black Hippy member Ab-Soul dropped off his latest project this week, Control System, showcasing his lyrical growth since the release of LongTerm Mentality. The project, dedicated to the late Alori Joh, features guest appearances from Jay Rock, Danny Brown, ScHoolboy Q, Kendrick Lamar and a handful of others, as well as the Black Hippy remix of "Black Lip Bastard." The TDE artist, who is currently on tour with ScHoolboy Q, spoke with Smoking Section about how it took a little less than a year to create the album and how he got the nickname "Black Lip Bastard."
Lecrae Clarifies Line About Jay-Z & Lil Wayne, Speaks On Friendship With No Malice
Christian rapper Lecrae delivered his Church Clothes mixtape this week, sporting beats from 9th Wonder and Boi-1da as well as guest appearances from Braille and Christon Gray.

He also explained his role as spiritual advisor to The Clipse's No Malice, stating that he reached out to him when he was contemplating his conversion to Christianity. Read the full interview here.

Just when it seemed Chicago was jam-packed with summer festivals, a strange confluence of bedfellows – rival promoters Jam Productions and Live Nation, several South Side aldermen, and jam-band kingpin Dave Matthews – got together earlier this year and decided to stage another one on a huge parcel of lakeside property that can only be dubbed the "Nearly Forgotten Chicago."
That would be Lakeside, the 600-acre site of the defunct U.S. Steel Southworks, between 79th and 87th Streets along Lake Michigan, which will host 38 bands as part of the Dave Matthews Band Caravan this weekend. Since the plant closed in 1992, it has stood as one of the largest vacant parcels of land in the city. Though there are plans to convert the property into a residential and retail hub, at the moment it's mostly gravel and rubble – most of which will be cleared away by the time the festival starts Friday.
Here's a rundown on what to expect:
What: Dave Matthews Band Caravan, with 38 bands playing on three stages over three days. Matthews will headline all three nights preceded by a different lineup each day.
Where: Lakeside on the South Shore of Lake Michigan in Chicago, roughly between 79th and 87th Streets.
When: Parking lots open at 11 a.m. and gates open at 1 p.m. Friday-Sunday. Tailgating is not permitted. Performances begin at 1:30 p.m. Friday-Saturday and 1 p.m. Sunday.
Tickets: Single day ($85) and three-day ($195) tickets are on sale at www.dmbcaravan.com and will be available at the festival box office.
Transportation: Free parking is available on the concert site; there is also VIP parking ($50 plus $5 service charge). Directions to parking are available here: http://www.dmbcaravan.com/chicago-travel/. Avoid Lake Shore Drive on Saturday because it will be closed at Jackson Park for an event.
Public transportation options include the CTA Redline; stop at 87th Street, three miles west of Lakeside, and take CTA shuttle service to the site (shuttle passes here: http://faremedia.chicago-card.com/store/main.aspx?DepartmentId=34). Metra Electric District South Shore Line can be boarded at the Millennium Park Station, at Michigan and Randolph, and taken to 63rd Street, then transfer to Metra's South Chicago branch trains to the 87th Street (South Chicago) stop. CTA shuttle service will be available to the concert site, which is four blocks east. (To buy daily or weekend shuttle passes: http://faremedia.chicago-card.com/store/main.aspx?DepartmentId=34).
Friday lineup: Dave Matthews Band (8:05 p.m., South Works), O.A.R. (7 p.m., Lakeside), Ray LaMontagne (6 p.m., South Works), Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros (4:30 p.m., South Works), Amos Lee (3 p,m., South Works), Drive-By Truckers (7 p.m., Slip), Soulive (5:15 p.m., Slip), Soja (5:15 p.m., Lakeside), Daniel Lanois' Black Dub (3:45 p.m., Lakeside), Dirty Dozen Brass Band (4 p.m., Slip), Blind Pilot (2:15 p.m., Lakeside), Alberta Cross (2:45 p.m., Slip), Gary Clark Jr. (1:45 p.m., South Works) and Bobby Long (1:30 p.m., Slip).
What to expect: Matthews will likely play a different set each night, but the main difference each day is the under-card. Drive-By Truckers are one of the best road bands working today, mixing literate, lacerating and darkly humorous lyrics with guitar crunch and tender acoustic touches. Lanois, on break from his production duties for artists such as U2 and Neil Young, delivers atmospheric rock in his new trio, and the Dirty Dozen Brass Band bring the New Orleans funk wherever they strut.
Saturday lineup: Dave Matthews Band (8:05 p.m., South Works), Kid Cudi (7 p.m., Lakeside), Ben Folds (6 p.m., South Works), Umphrey's McGee (6:45 p.m., Slip), moe. (4:45 p.m., Slip), G. Love and Special Sauce (5:30 p.m., Lakeside), Liz Phair (4:45 p.m., South Works), Vieux Farka Toure (2:45 p.m., Lakeside), Ivan Neville's Dumpstaphunk (3:15 p.m., South Works), TR3 (1:45 p.m., South Works), Bombino (1:30 p.m., Lakeside), Yonder Mountain String Band (3 p.m., Slip), Cornmeal (1:45 p.m., Slip), Dave Matthews and Tim Reynolds (4 p.m., Lakeside).
What to expect: Liz Phair, eh? She seems out of place on a bill heavy with bands that like to stretch out on their instruments. A surer bet – and an inspired choice for this festival – is Vieux Farka Toure, a singer-guitarist who is the gifted son of Malian guitar legend Ali Farka Touré. Also, don't miss Kid Cudi, who blends hip-hop beats with his own take on stoner rock.
Sunday lineup: Dave Matthews Band (7:05 p.m., South Works), David Gray (4:45 p.m., South Works), the Flaming Lips performing Pink Floyd's "Dark Side of the Moon" (5:45 p.m., Lakeside), Emmylou Harris (3 p.m., Slip), Michael Franti & Spearhead (6 p.m., Slip), Gomez (3:15 p.m., South Works), Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings (4:30 p.m., Slip), the Jayhawks (2:45 p.m., Lakeside), Mariachi El Bronx (4:15 p.m., Lakeside), Jeff Coffin's Mu'tet (1:45 p.m., Slip), the Wailers (2 p.m., South Works) and Grace Apostolic Church Choir (1:30 p.m., South Works).
What to expect: If you can attend only one day of the festival, let this be the one. As longtime Pink Floyd acolytes (though certainly not imitators), the Flaming Lips are well suited to covering one of the British band's masterpieces. Harris continues to make vital music that pushes genre boundaries four decades after collaborating with Gram Parsons. Franti and Spearhead are seasoned festival entertainers, the reunited Jayhawks harmonize like the second coming of the Byrds and soul shouter Sharon Jones is a sure bet to blow everyone away. Go just to see her wail, testify and stomp the stage into rubble.

Oakland County employees will donate $1,000 from the employee Casual Day fund to help the victims of the Moore, Okla. tornado recover from the destruction. The money will be donated to the United Way of Central Oklahoma Disaster Relief Fund.
"The devastation and the countless lives lost are heart-wrenching," said Oakland County Executive L. Brooks Patterson. "We hope our donation will provide some relief to families faced with a long recovery and remind them that they are not alone in their hour of need."
The Casual Day program allows employees in participating county departments and divisions to wear jeans or dress casually on Thursdays or Fridays for a minimum donation of $1. Donations collected during the course of the year are distributed to more than 15 designated charities in December. However, there are instances throughout the year when donations are made to address specific events or needs, as is the case with the Moore, Okla. tornado relief.
Since its inception more than 20 years ago, Oakland County employees have donated well over a half million dollars to charity through Casual Day, touching the lives of thousands of people. No taxpayer funds are used in the Casual Day program.
Others who also wish to donate to the United Way of Central Oklahoma's Disaster Relief Fund may send a check, with the notation of "May Tornado Relief," to the United Way of Central Oklahoma, P.O. Box 837, Oklahoma City, OK 73101.

Kuroda, Yankees agree to $15 million deal
Recommended Video:
NEW YORK (AP) -- Trying to get under baseball's luxury tax by 2014, the New York Yankees don't mind spending big as long as it's on one-year deals.
New York filled one of the slots in its rotation Tuesday, agreeing to a $15 million, one-year contract with No. 2 starter Hiroki Kuroda as they await a decision from Andy Pettitte on whether he wants to return in 2013.
"It something that I think fits how we've operated here in the last number of years, to do short-term circumstances on high-end players," Yankees general manager Brian Cashman said.
The Yankees will pay the luxury tax on high payrolls for the 10th straight season this year and will hand over more tax money in 2013. But they say they want to get under 2014's threshold of $189 million, which would enable them to get some of their revenue-sharing dollars back. That's why a one-year deal made sense for Kuroda, a right-hander who turns 38 in February.
He was the Yankees' most consistent pitcher during the regular season. He went 16-11, tying for the team lead in wins, and led New York with 33 starts and 219 2-3 innings.
Cashman called the agreement "a relief."
"Hiroki Kuroda chose us on a lesser deal last year and I suspect he's done the same again this year," Cashman said. "By coming here, I suspect that he left money on the table. I suspect it was a very aggressive market on him, and I think it is a reflection of he really enjoyed playing here for this city, for this team, for this organization and with these teammates to come back under the circumstances he's coming back on."
After losing six of his first nine decisions, Kuroda finished with a 3.32 ERA that was second among New York starters behind Pettitte's 2.87.
"I am very happy and excited to re-sign with the Yankees," Kuroda said in a statement. "I am very grateful for all of the interest and all of the offers that I received from the various teams that courted me. It was a tough decision for me to make, but at the end of the day, I wanted to try to win a championship with the teammates that I went to battle with last season."
Kuroda joined the Yankees after four seasons with the Los Angeles Dodgers, was given a $10 million base salary last season and earned $1 million more in performance bonuses based on innings. He turned down a $13.3 million qualifying offer from the Yankees, and he would have cost a new team a selection in June's amateur draft.
He joins CC Sabathia, Phil Hughes and Ivan Nova in the Yankees' projected starting rotation for next season, with David Phelps also a possibility.
Pettitte, who came out of retirement to rejoin the Yankees, hasn't decided whether he wants to play next year. Cashman won't say how long he'll wait.
"Of course, obviously, there's an answer to that question but not one I'm prepared to answer," he said.
NOTES: Cashman said SS Derek Jeter is progressing from surgery to repair his broken ankle. "By opening day he's supposed to be ready and full speed," he said. ... Cashman is talking with Mariano Rivera about a new contract and doesn't have any concerns about the closer's recovery from a torn knee ligament. Rivera turns 43 next week. "Mo's never failed. He's never had a failure in his career," Cashman said. ... RHP Michael Pineda, recovering from shoulder surgery, isn't being counted on for the start of the season.
He threw on flat ground at Yankee Stadium last week. "He had zip on it," Cashman said.
