'Old-School' softball team still going strong at Berston Field House in Flint
FLINT, MI – Berston Field House is the gathering spot on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays from 10 a.m.-noon for a local softball team labeled "Old-School."
Practicing softball is the common denominator that has continued to bring the group together for nearly 30 years.
Old-School works so hard because its teammates enjoy being the elder statesmen of the Berston Inner-City Slow-Pitch Softball League. In its 28-year existence, the old-timers have won a league title at least 16 times – according to them.
"This is something that we've been doing all of our life," Shortstop Houston Tipton said as he watched his teammates swing their bats at practice. "We've got guys that are out here that can hardly walk sometimes, but they come out and play. We're inspired to play because we love to do it."
The team's oldest player (65) can boast that he was born around the time Jackie Robinson broke baseball's color barrier in 1947. The youngest (52) witnessed Bill Russell and the Boston Celtics form its dynasty in the 1960s | .
For casual sports fans, slow-pitch softball isn't that popular, but for "Old-School" – formerly known as Super Fly -- and the six other squads competing in the Berston league, the game is a way to bring the Flint community together.
"People don't only come down here for the softball, but for the Berston mystique," Tipton said. "You've got people in the field picn | [

In light of the Newtown school massacre, a state lawmaker said Friday that he will propose legislation to expand the circumstances in which emergency responders can receive workers' compensation.
"This is something that I've already discussed," said Rep. Stephen D. Dargan, D-West Haven, the co-chairman of the legislature's public safety committee. "I'm sure right after the holiday that this is going to be one of the bills that I am going to issue" for consideration in the session that starts Jan. 9.
The idea of expanding the workers' compensation law has been discussed before, with a big concern being the potential cost, Dargan said. "But if you limit the scope of it" to the sort of dire circumstances encountered by police at Sandy Hook Elementary School, Dargan said it might be possible.
For several years, state law has provided workers' compensation benefits to pay for counseling for police officers who are mentally or emotionally impaired by "use of deadly force or subjection to deadly force in the line of duty." Earlier this year, legislators | added a similar provision for firefighters who witness the death of another firefighter on duty.
But, as horrible as the Newtown massacre was, it did not involve either the use of deadly force by or against police, or the death of a firefighter, said | [

"The 2012 Express - A Train Is Coming"
The Requisite Shift to Crysto-Electric Field
Archangel Metatron via James Tyberonn
Greetings Masters! Indeed! We greet you in joy and encircle each of you in a field of Unconditional Love.
2012 is not an end, rather it is the true Beginning. Accordingly 2012 is the expansion of dimensional access on the New Earth.
People Get Ready
The Ascension has movement, it is a train of change, and it is coming. You do not need a ticket, only faith & preparation. Energies of the Earth are shifting more quickly now. The velocity of light has increased. In response, the flash & sequencing of linear- time is moving faster now, in the quickening of the 2012 Ascension.

New Earth Demands
In kind then, does the need for humanity to shift become requisite to maintain equilibrium and balance. Equivocation will not serve. The astrological undulations become more intense as does the heightened energy of the planet itself.

Donald Trump wants The New York Times
Can the billionaire buy his way into ownership of the respected newspaper company?
Shares of the company, which also owns the Boston Globe, were barely budging on the news, indicating that Wall Street isn't holding its breath for a deal to happen. A spokesperson for the Times couldn't immediately be reached.
It's unclear exactly how much progress, if any, Trump has made in buying the newspaper company. New York magazine, which broke the story, says "Trump has engaged in more than one meeting to discuss how he might buy the Grey Lady."

“The power of the Executive to cast a man into prison without formulating any charge known to the law, and particularly to deny him the judgment of his peers, is in the highest degree odious and is the foundation of all totalitarian government whether Nazi or Communist.”
- Winston Churchill, Nov. 21, 1943

Beginning in 1999, the government has entered into a series of single-bid contracts with Halliburton subsidiary Kellogg, Brown and Root (KBR) to build detention camps at undisclosed locations within the United States.

My five-year old son, Alexander, loves science. So each week, the two of us have pledged to do a science experiment. There are not too many rules – only that the experiment can be easily done in the kitchen of our apartment, and not leave too much of a mess. Last week, Alex tried to make rice bounce by putting it in a glass of carbonated liquid. It took us a few tries to get the experiment right, but eventually it worked.
This week, we had been thinking about doing an experiment to determine why it is sometimes hard to open a freezer door after it has just been closed.

Massive Urban Renewal underway for Poor in India
"In an effort to deal with rising urbanization and urban poverty within the country, the Indian government has recently bolstered efforts to provide low-cost urban housing."
"At present, there are over 80 million urban poor in the country. India needs to add about 40 million low-cost houses. Around 45% of urban poor in India live in slums or in squatter settlements. The rest live in makeshift locations such as pavements, under bridges and under flyovers. Even if the present urban poverty rate of over 25% declines at the rate of 5% per decade, then, in 2020, there will be 94 million poor persons in urban areas, and 91.5 million in 2030...."

Despite the fact that BSA troops would still be allowed the option of kicking out gay- or bi-identified scouts and leaders, lots of social conservatives are not happy with any plan that would allow any inclusive corners within the BSA. I was listening to one particular debate on the radio yesterday where a proponent of the current anti-gay policy asserted that banning gays was a "core value" of the Boy Scouts and it would destroy the BSA if they did away with that particular core value.
I am not terribly invested in the Boy Scouts. I was a Cub Scout briefly and my youngest son was a Cub Scout for one semester before deciding that he preferred to break boards with his hands in a local Tae Kwon Do club. I understand that the BSA is a private group. I dislike it when people get mad at advocates of inclusive scouts because it "punishes the kids". I had a lesbian friend tell me that one. Excuse me, but what about the kids who have gotten booted from the Scouts or whose parents have been told that they are too morally corrupt to lead their troops?

Whether on his own or with his more famous “supergroup” project, The New Pornographers, Newman has, over the past decade, developed into one of his generation’s most inventive songwriters, twisting tongue-tied poetry around hooks so strong, you need to pull an Eternal Sunshine to forget them.
But the whole “tongue-tied poetry” thing has a way of narrowing your audience. Newman’s lyrics are intoxicating—but they can also leave you feeling a little drunk. For some, it’s a part of his singular charm; for others, it’s a surrealist roadblock that prevents an emotional connection.
Inspired by the death of his mother and the birth of a new son, Newman’s third solo album, Shut Down the Streets, is the most direct, heartfelt item in his catalog, both lyrically and sonically. But it’s far from the “warped | , confessional ’70s singer/songwriter album” Newman’s played off in recent interviews: Shut Down the Streets is as melodic and musically rich as anything he’s composed since Twin Cinema, with trusted Porno Neko | [

How times have changed in Somalia. Today, centuries of European colonization and political strife, coupled with interludes of devastating drought and flooding, have created a failed state that's become a haven for lawlessness. For years, Somalia was passed between foreign powers: first the Portuguese, then the British, then the French and Italians. Upon its declaration of independence in 1960, the country's artificially drawn borders proved incapable of anything resembling stability. Now, Somalia remains in a constant state of conflict.

A new look Japan impressed at the 2011 AFC Asian Cup showing tenacity and organisation to triumph on the back of hard-fought wins in the semi-final against Korea Republic and Australia in the final. Tadanari Lee’s extra-time winner in Doha saw Japan lift a record fourth Asian crown and regain the title last won in 2004.
The current crop
Under former coach Takeshi Okada, a host of youth talents announced their arrival on the international scene as Japan broke new ground in the last FIFA World Cup. The new generation has continued their progress under Italian Alberto Zaccheroni, who took over after their campaign in South Africa 2010. A series of impressive friendly wins, including a 1-0 defeat of a full-strength Argentina, was followed by their all-conquering performance during January's AFC Asian Cup, where they pipped Australian in the final to claim their fourth continental title.

Chick-fil-A Appreciation Day: Tyler Restaurants Packed With Supporters
The long lines today at Chick-fil-A in Tyler is the scene occurring across the country as people are showing up in droves to support the restaurant after the company was criticized for an executive’s comments about gay marriage.
Traffic is backed up on South Broadway in Tyler as people waited their turn to patronize the restaurant on what is being called “Chick-fil-A Appreciation Day.” The line inside the store was pushed outside and in front of the building, as shown above. There were also at least another 60 cars waiting for the drive-thru, as the line wrapped out onto South Broadway Avenue and back to the intersection of Broadway and Chimney Rock.
Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, a Baptist minister, declared Wednesday national “Chick-fil-A Appreciation Day.”
Chick-fil-A president Dan Cathy told the Baptist Press last month that the Atlanta | -based company was “guilty as charged” for backing “the biblical definition of a family.” That unleashed a torrent of criticism from gay rights groups and others, who have called for boycotts and efforts to block the chain from opening new stores.

Premiere 02 for Berlin: Yeti Hunter by Vlambeer
YETI HUNTER is a game about hunting yetis.
Yeti Hunter was first released on the GDC show floor and it may well be the creepiest title that Vlambeer has manufactured yet. As you might have already guessed, you're going to be gunning down some Abominable Snowmen in this one. However, if you were expecting rampant mayhem and a cadre of collectible firearms, you would be wrong. Unlike most first-person shooters, Yeti Hunter is kind of on the quiet side.
It is set within the depths of a snow-laden pixelated forest. There's a smear of blood on the ground. All around you, snowflakes are tumbling down from the skies with not a care in the world. Your quarry? Nowhere in sight. Most of your time in Yeti Hunter is spent combing through the woods, alert for a fresh | pool of blood or a flicker of movement. Though initially simple seeming, the tension in the game can ramp up when night falls. Will the hunter become the hunted? You don't know. Vlambeer didn't say.

The main goal of this thesis has been to evaluate, both quantitativily and qualitativily, to what degree it is possible to get a computer model of Bayesian incremental learning behave like experimental physiological data regarding LTP, long-term potentiation. Especially when there is temporal differences in the stimulus to the neurons. By adjusting the initial probability values it is possible to simulate various previous stimuli of the neurons. Changing the time constants allows the synapses weight changes to partly resemble biological data, a small or neglectible change when the time difference is large, and a potentiation | when the presynaptic stimuli arrives before the postsynaptic one. It was not possible to recreate the clearly appearant depression when the postsynaptic stimuli arrives before presynaptic one.

Buckeye Police "Body-Planted" Grandpa at WalMart in Black Friday Mayhem
Police "body-planted" a man at a Buckeye Walmart's Black Friday event after the man put a video game in his waistband while helping a grandson who was being jostled in a crowd.
The take-down, which left the man bloody, was one of several violent acts reported across the country related to America's annual orgasm of retail sales.
This year's Black Friday has spurred robberies in California and South Carolina, and a mischievous pepper-spray attack on shoppers in Porter Ranch, California, that hurt 20 people.
The Buckeye incident is catching national attention this morning.
According to news reports, a crowd of fired-up shoppers at the Walmart were clawing at a box of videos games when a little boy was "trampled" and cut his lip. The boy's grandfather then tried to lift the kid, first sticking a video game he was holding in his waistband. The guy reportedly had $600 worth of other merchandise with him he intended to buy -- not exactly the shoplifter type.
One witness of the incident quoted by Channel 10 | news (KSAZ-TV) seems to indicate that police wildly over-reacted:
"You would have thought there was a cure for cancer in this box," said shopper Skyler Stone. "I mean people were literally going insane.
"They grabbed the guy, body planted him into the ground -- face shatters on concrete. That's a hard concrete floor inside Walmart.

She’s been with some of Salem’s most prominent men, but is “Days of our Lives’” Samantha (Alison Sweeney) tough enough to handle late night talk show host Jay Leno? That was the question when the “The Tonight Show” host ran over to the “DAYS” set to profess his love for Sami!

According to NBC, the two will appear in a skit in tonight’s edition of “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno,” which Sweeney says will not only make you laugh, but you can also spot Scott in a robe. Now we know you ladies (and some men) will definitely be tuning in after hearing that!

Immigrants in the United States
Listen: Bread's 2012 Hunger Report
Once in the United States, immigrants typically improve their economic situation, but unauthorized immigrants are effectively barred from career mobility, educational opportunities, and access to public support.
More than one in five (21 percent) of all unauthorized immigrants to the United States live in poverty, more than double the rate for U.S.-born adults.
Latinos – immigrants and native-born – have the highest | food insecurity rates (27 percent) in the United States.
One-third of the children of unauthorized immigrants—most of whom are U.S. citizens—live in poverty.

Caesar Salad or Intellectual Property?
Rebecca Charles, the owner of Pearl Oyster Bar, a popular seafood joint in New York's West Village, has sued her former sous-chef Ed McFarland over intellectual property rights, and the juicy story made the front page of The New York Times Wednesday.

It's been common, in liberal circles lately, to wonder if Greenspan isn't a bit of a political hack. But perhaps, to be fair and balanced, we should also be touting his awards and achievements -- particularly the lesser-known ones. This one in particular seems... worthy of note.

Study shows yoga is effective at reducing anger, decreasing violence and producing strong, self-confident students.
Bullying and violence are a major problem in schools and among youth. This interview focuses on how yoga-based techniques are proving effective in bully proofing our children and classrooms.
Dee Marie, of Calming Kids Yoga, will share her ground-breaking program that teaches yoga and conflict management skills to youth giving them the skills needed to be calm and compassionate, strong and resilient. We’ll also discuss the Harvard study results of the program. Also joining us is Cheryl Crawford (Grounded), with the program Quest for Elevation which is used in schools to teach yoga based techniques to combat bullying.
Find out how yoga can empower your children and stop bullying.
Enjoy this Shanti Generation video of teens talking about how yoga helps counter bullying.
Thanks to all who work to bring yoga based techniques into schools. As Dee mentions the number one anti-bullying skill yoga teaches youth is awareness. As children/teens become more aware of their body, their emotions, their words and their environment, they | can make decisions and take action based on the yoga principle of Ahimsa: kindness to self and others.

As MacFarlane hosted the Oscars, he made numerous uncomfortable jokes, beginning with his opening monologue Sunday night. He sang a song titled, "We saw your Boobs | ," about actresses who showed their breasts in movies, leading to mixed reactions from the crowd.
But one of the most cringe-worthy jokes may have been one regarding Rihanna and Chris Brown.
When introducing the film “Django Unchained,” which won the original screenplay Oscar, MacFarlane said to the audience, "This is the story of a man fighting to get back his woman, who's been subjected to unthinkable violence.
Or as Chris Brown and Rihanna call it, a date movie."
The crowd simply gasped at the joke.

Illustrator CS6 came out a few weeks ago. Mostly it’s engine upgrade, with a few (I count two) artistic upgrade thrown in. The first is allowing gradient on strokes (woohoo!); the second is an “improved” image trace. How good is it? I installed a trial version to find out. The comparisons are between
- Live Trace of CS5
- Image Trace of CS6
- Vector Magic
I conducted two sections of tests. The first section consists of throwing different types of image at the tracing engines. This includes (1) simple B&W line art, (2) a Burberry pattern, (3) a clean illustration of a flute, and (4) a photograph. The second section looks at how the engines deal with deteriorating quality of input, and re-uses the flute illustration in diminishing sizes, from 2000px in width to 500px in width.

Kasich emphasizes 'business'
Governor-elect wants to 'exploit' resources, picks EPA, DNR chiefs

In announcing his appointees to run the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency and Department of Natural Resources yesterday, Gov.-elect John Kasich used one word over and over: business.
"These departments are going to send a message to Ohio that we are open for business," Kasich said in naming Scott Nally of Indiana as head of the EPA and former American Electric Power executive David Mustine as director of Natural Resources.

Titles notwithstanding, the documentary films Before Stonewall and After Stonewall aren't actually about the Stonewall riots in June of 1969 that marked the birth of the gay liberation movement. Both begin with arbitrary mentions, but Before Stonewall doesn't return to the seminal event until 81 minutes into its 87 minute running time (and then it spends about a minute); After Stonewall doesn't dwell either. There are other films (like the recent, and terrific, Stonewall Uprising) that delve into the logistics and specifics of that event, but these are focused on how the gay movement arrived at that point, and where it went from there. These are perhaps the most literally-titled films imaginable.
Before Stonewall, directed by Greta Schiller and Robert Rosenberg, goes back to the turn of the 20th century, using subtext-heavy old movie clips (much like The Celluloid Closet), loaded candid photos, newsreel footage, and vintage songs to supplement the historical perspectives and personal recollections of the interview subjects, some of them artists and activists, most regular folks. Their first-person narratives, and the history that they | relate, are fascinating, and the filmmakers hit the expected beats (WWII, McCarthyism, civil rights, hippies) but from the perspective of gay Americans--how those historical turning points affected their specific struggle.
That history is accompanied by the early pangs of the gay rights movement: the formation of the Mattachine Society and the Daughters of Bilitis, the inspiration provided by the civil rights and women's rights fights, the tiptoeing out into the open with early demonstrations, the men in suits, the women in dresses and nylons. | [
