This week, we're continuing our series on choosing where your child should apply to college by focusing on the public college and university options in New York State.
NYCollegeChat is now available on iTunes, Spreaker, Stitcher, and TuneIn!
Because we are NYCollegeChat—emphasis on New York—we want talk in this episode about choosing between The City University of New York (CUNY) and The State University of New York (SUNY) as well as choosing among the branches of each of these college systems. Though most of our episodes have information useful for parents anywhere, this episode is especially for New York City and New York State parents—or indeed for parents anywhere who might like to send their children to our public higher education institutions.
1. Students Interested in CUNY Campuses
As we said in an earlier episode in our first series, Understanding the World of College, CUNY serves about 270,000 students taking credit courses on 24 campuses—11 four-year colleges (which CUNY refers to as "senior colleges"), 7 two-year community colleges, The Macaulay Honors College for undergraduate students, and 5 graduate and professional schools, located throughout New York City's five boroughs. CUNY is the nation's largest urban public higher education system.
If you currently have a high school junior who is an outstanding student, with a high GPA (in the 90s) and excellent SAT/ACT scores, you should have a look at The Macaulay Honors College right now. Tuition is free, and there are other financial incentives, too. There is also the prestige factor to consider. The Macaulay deadline is a bit earlier than the regular deadline for most colleges (it was December 1 this year, so it is too late for current seniors), so you have to be ready when school opens next fall to get the application put together. This year's application was not too difficult (for example, it had just two relatively short essays), but you will need to get teacher and/or counselor recommendations lined up. During the admissions process, a Macaulay prospect is accepted first to whatever CUNY four-year campuses the student listed in the application. So, if the student is not accepted to Macaulay, he or she will still be able to enroll in one of CUNY's four-year colleges and might even be accepted to an honors program at one of those colleges.
Now let's look at the 7 two-year community colleges and 11 four-year colleges. The first question, of course, is whether you are interested in a two-year or four-year college. We talked extensively about this in our last series, Understanding the World of College. Generally speaking, stronger students with better high school records should choose four-year colleges, while students in need of boosting their academic skills and improving on their high school academic record should choose two-year colleges. But which two-year or four-year college?
The obvious next thing to consider is location. Because most New York City residents are likely to live at home while attending a CUNY college, the commute to the campus is an important factor in college choice. While subway transportation is relatively reliable, fast, and inexpensive, no student really wants to be commuting from the far end of Brooklyn to the Bronx to attend classes every day. Furthermore, some campuses are not as public transportation friendly as others. For example, Queensborough Community College is in a lovely, rather suburban location in Bayside, Queens, but there is no subway service close by; or, to take another example, unless you live on Staten Island, the College of Staten Island is not a quick ride away.
Another thing to consider—and likely the most important thing—is what majors the college offers. Because the colleges are part of a public system, all majors are not offered at all colleges. This is one way the government saves taxpayers' money—that is, by not duplicating majors on all campuses and, thus, not running smaller-than-cost-efficient programs on campus after campus. For example, you can earn a bachelor's degree in German at just two CUNY campuses or a bachelor's degree in archeology at just one CUNY campus. Then, you also need to think about the colleges that specialize in certain fields—like New York City College of Technology, which specializes, obviously, in technical fields (like engineering and architecture and computer studies) or John Jay College of Criminal Justice, which specializes, obviously, in criminal justice, but also in pre-law, fire science, forensics, and studies focusing on social action.
Another thing to consider is reputation. All colleges are not created equal. You can learn about the two-year and four-year colleges by reading about them on their own websites (for example, the history of City College is fascinating and quite moving), and you can learn about their reputations by talking with professionals in any field who have lived in New York City for a while, by talking with graduates of the colleges, and by talking with some high school teachers and counselors, if they have experience with more than two or three of the CUNY campuses. For what it's worth, five of the CUNY four-year colleges are ranked by U.S. News and World Report in the top 20 regional public colleges in the North: In no particular order, they are Baruch, Hunter, Queens, Brooklyn, and City College.
2. Students Interested in SUNY Campuses
As we said in an earlier episode in our first series, Understanding the World of College, SUNY serves about 460,000 degree and certificate students in 64 higher education institutions, including research universities, state colleges, colleges of technology, community colleges, medical schools, and an online learning network. The institutions are located throughout New York State—from Plattsburgh in the far north to Buffalo in the far west to Stony Brook in the far southeast. Looking at a map of New York State with the campuses located on it is actually quite impressive.
Just as with considering CUNY campuses, the first question when looking at SUNY campuses is whether you want a two-year community college or a four-year college—and, as we said earlier, we have already talked a lot about that decision. So let's talk about the three other questions we raised about the CUNY campuses because they also apply to SUNY campuses: location, majors, and reputation.
If you thought that the CUNY campuses were spread out over the five boroughs of New York City, the SUNY campuses are really spread out—over virtually the entire state. For a student living in New York City, going to a SUNY campus in upstate in New York is hours farther away than going to a college in New Jersey or Connecticut or even parts of Massachusetts and Pennsylvania. As we have said before, we had students at the high school we co-founded in Brooklyn who had no idea where many of SUNY campuses were, yet they thought about going to them. To repeat our minimum standard for choosing a college is this: You should not go to a college you cannot find on a map.
And part of location, when it comes to SUNY campuses, is whether you want to be in a more urban, suburban, or rural location. They are all available—from the University at Buffalo or the University at Albany and the Fashion Institute of Technology in Manhattan (which people often forget is a SUNY campus) in the more urban category to Nassau Community College and the State University College at Old Westbury and Westchester Community College in the suburban category to the College of Technology at Canton and the State University College at New Paltz and Finger Lakes Community College in the rural category.
Just as with CUNY campuses, the most important thing to consider is what majors the college offers. Again, because the colleges are part of a public system, all majors are not offered at all colleges in order to save the taxpayers' money, so you have to check carefully if your child has an interest in a particular subject field. What is definite is that almost whatever your child can think up to study, it is being taught on one SUNY campus or another.
Just as CUNY has New York City College of Technology, specializing in technical fields, SUNY has colleges that specialize in technology in Canton, Cobleskill, Delhi, and more. But SUNY also has colleges specializing in other technical fields—like the Fashion Institute of Technology, the Maritime College, the College of Environmental Science and Forestry, and the New York State College of Ceramics (which actually includes both engineering and art and design majors and is located at Alfred University, a private university).
For some students, the three public colleges that are part of private Cornell University are a great financial bargain. Cornell houses four private and three public colleges: the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences, the College of Human Ecology, and the ILR (Industrial and Labor Relations) School—an Ivy League education at State tuition prices.
So what about the reputation of the SUNY colleges? There are probably many opinions about which colleges are the best and probably no way to prove which colleges are the best. In a list of top national public universities, U.S. News and World Report lists the College of Environmental Science and Forestry at number 30 and Stony Brook University and Binghamton University tied at number 38. In terms of campuses being known for specific academic programs, one of the clearest examples is Stony Brook, which is well known for its undergraduate and graduate science programs, including its School of Medicine, and for its co-managing of the prestigious Brookhaven National Laboratory on Long Island.
Generally speaking, among the four-year choices, the SUNY universities have more prestige and higher admissions standards than the SUNY state colleges and the colleges of technology—though that does not necessarily make one of the SUNY universities a better choice for your child.
3. Choosing Between CUNY and SUNY Campuses
The choice between applying to and indeed enrolling at a CUNY campus vs. a SUNY campus is probably most present in the minds of high school students who live in or near New York City. For those students, there are several factors to consider—including, at least, living arrangements and prestige (assuming, of course, that the campuses offer the right major). For New York City residents, CUNY colleges and SUNY colleges cost just about the same (and some New York State residents who live outside of the City might be eligible for the same CUNY tuition rates as City residents are). But the living arrangements can be substantially different. Is it cheaper to live at home in Queens and attend Queens College than to live in the dormitory at SUNY Albany? Of course it is. But would the student rather have the chance to live away at school as part of the whole college experience? If so, then attending a SUNY college outside of the City is the better choice.
Is a SUNY college automatically better than a CUNY college because it is part of the bigger State system? Definitely not, even when comparing the four-year SUNY universities and the four-year CUNY colleges. Again, which individual colleges are "better" than which other individual colleges is a matter for debate among educators and graduates and faculty members and interested observers. But it is clear that there are some excellent choices in both systems—choices that are right for New York's best students as well as for New York's average students.

Chi Psi sigh: You can save this gem from destruction
Address: 1536 Rugby Road
Neighborhood: Rugby
Asking: $1,395,000
Assessment: $976,000
Year Built: 1914
Size: 7,802 fin. sq. ft. /1,858 unfin.
Land: 3.66 acres
Curb Appeal: 7 out of 10
Agent: Jim McVay, Roy Wheeler Realty Co., 434-951-5155
Amid other palatial homes in the Rugby neighborhood, this Eugene Bradbury-designed stucco and timber-framed building could be on the precipice of demolition.
Readers will recall the controversy surrounding another Bradbury house built for Robert Compton in 1913 ("Scholarly debate: Will Bradbury house become history?"). That beauty eventually became the home of many a Beta brother, but was demolished in 2007 by the Jefferson Scholars Foundation to make way for its new headquarters on Maury Avenue.
History has a way of repeating itself, and this unique property is eerily in line for a similar fate unless a buyer with ingenuity and deep pockets steps forward.
When the "Trail's End Lodge" was built in 1914, it overlooked undulating fields and offered dramatic mountain views. The one-and-a-half story building set into a sloping hill was supported by fieldstone and timber pillars, with several spacious porches on which genteel folks no doubt sat and sipped mint juleps. The Charlottesville Country Club built the original building and swimming pool, but after hosting only five years of socials— one horse-and buggy-gathering photographed by the famous Rufus Holsinger— the club disbanded.
Around 1919, Bobby Mainfort opened the estate as "The White Plains Health Resort," but this, too, was short-lived, and the house tumbled from owner to owner in short succession, ultimately becoming home to the Chi Psi fraternity in the late 1940s.
The evolution of the extensive renovations to the building is unclear. It appears that early alterations made to create an "entry court" in the center section replaced a formal, enclosed entryway with a set-back, two-story stone and stucco façade and arched six-paneled Tutor described in Charlottesville's architectural historic survey. Creation of the facade significantly altered the roofline as well as the original grand entrance to the heart of the Lodge.
Period photographs reveal a stunning 1½-story fieldstone fireplace— a centerpiece in the expansive hall that once stretched to the veranda. Some time later, the ceiling was lowered to 10' to create additional rooms above, and the hall was narrowed further with the addition of a library and game room flanking it on the right.
The porch beyond the hall has been enclosed on two levels, the upper level becoming a dining room. French doors on two walls leading from the dining area to a porch provide some of the original scenic views. An adventuresome buyer with plans to restore the place can use photographs of the unaltered Bradbury design dating back to the 1920s for hints about placement of the various dormers and windows in each wing.
At some point, the interior was altered to include ten bedrooms and six baths– two additional baths are still under construction.
As for the interior, let's say that this is not a renovation project to be taken lightly. The owner, the Alpha Omicron Corporation, leased the building to an enterprising group of tenants who began some extensive remodeling to the lower level of the enclosed porch last year, adding three bedrooms and the two unfinished bathrooms. The renovation efforts— which seem to have ceased mid-anvil swing— could serve as a jumping-off point for someone who might envision the building becoming a small spa or B&B.
The Lodge is uninhabitable in its current state, as it is filled with miscellaneous tools, materials, furnishings, and recyclables. But all of that will go, presumably, when the current lease is up. The kitchen contains industrial-grade equipment that should also be recycled, and all the existing bathrooms need significant updating. This is not to say that there isn't tons of potential for a spectacular renovation, but upgrading all the mechanicals is not for the faint of heart.
The future of the Chi Psi Lodge again raises the question the Hook asked regarding the Beta House demolition in April 2008 ("When is a house worth saving?"). Houses in the Rugby neighborhood have fetched prices from $2.1 to $4 million, and according to the listing agent, the 3.66 acres on which the Lodge sits are prime for development: either a new single-family home or a group of smaller homes is possible.
Is Bradbury's Lodge worth restoring to its former "country club" status as a site for special events? Or could it become an inn for visitors who wouldn't mind the proximity (and noise) of the 250 Bypass? The Lodge is not an individually protected historic property, so it could ultimately go the way of the Beta House.
Only time will tell if this property is a diamond in the rough or another piece of Charlottesville history destined for demo.

The Egyptian Censorship Committee has decided to give the green-light to the new film "Riklam," starring Egyptian actress Ghada Abd Al Raziq, but only after six "indecent" scenes including Ghada and actress Rania Yousif are deleted.
The censorship committee made its decision after watching the final version of the film, and determined the six scenes to be inappropriate for the average viewer.
The film revolves around four women arrested for prostitution. While they are being investigated they tell the stories of their lives and how they were forced to enter the world of "Al Riklam."
Despite its graphic nature, the censorship committee did not rate it as an adult film, since it sends a message to the general society. The film portrays young women that face hardships leading them to become prostitutes, and in turn end up in jail, destroying their future.
Head of the censorship Dr. Sayed Khatab said that some of the film's scenes have underlying meanings, and could not be omitted because they would ruin the outcome of the story. Sayed also said that director of the film Ali Rajab was successful in creating a film about a dark world of nudity and sexuality, without making it gratuitous.

It pays to be a pop star — especially if you're a young woman, Forbes' new list of the best-paid celebrities under 30 found.
Country-pop darling Taylor Swift, 22, topped that list, earning $57 million between May 2011 and May 2012 on the strength of her tireless touring, robust record sales and CoverGirl endorsements.
Close on her heels is Justin Bieber — the boyfriend of Swift's close friend Selena Gomez — who made $55 million last year.
But the top five spots of Forbes' list were rounded out by women.
Rihanna got a huge earnings boost last year, thanks to an 85-date tour and hits like "We Found Love" from her 2011 album, which helped net her $53 million.
Lady Gaga came in fourth with $52 million — a big drop from her $90 million last year, because her massively successive Born This Way Ball world tour began after the cut-off for last year's list. Gaga could top the list next year, once her sold-out shows are factored in, according to Forbes.
New divorcee and pop-turned-movie star Katy Perry finished at number five with $45 million, thanks to her many hits and California Dreams tour.
Newly pregnant British belter (and professional album-seller, and Grammy collector) Adele came in sixth, followed by the list's sole actress, "Twilight" and "Snow White and the Huntsman" star Kristen Stewart.
Stewart's "Twilight" cohorts Taylor Lautner and Robert Pattinson also made the list, as did Lil Wayne, the list's only hip-hop star.
Taylor Swift, Bieber, Rihanna Are Best-Paid Young Stars
Women dominated Forbes' list for May 2011 to May 2012

The first, moss-like plants emerged on land about 470 million years ago. In just 25 million years, they stripped the planet of vital minerals, wrecked Earth's carbon cycle, started an ice age, and caused a mass extinction of marine life.
That's the finding of researchers at Oxford and the University of Exeter, who set out to figure just what role the first terrestrial plants had on Earth when they emerged in the Ordovician Period. Previous research into this time revealed that the climate went through a massive cooling phase that triggered a series of ice ages. We know that this was started by a sudden drop in the amount of carbon, and now the researchers say they've identified the source: the moss-like plants that first colonized the land.
Once these plants set up shop on the land, they basically started strip-mining, extracting minerals like calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, and iron in order to keep growing. This changed the composition of the rocks around them, which is known as chemical weathering. As the plants extracted these minerals, the rocks absorbed carbon dioxide, which removed enough carbon from the atmosphere to make global temperatures drop nearly ten degrees Fahrenheit.
It gets worse. Releasing phosphorus and iron from the rocks sent these minerals into the oceans, where marine organisms used them to bury even more carbon, which caused another five degree drop in temperatures. The researchers suggest this process also could help explain the Ordovician-Silurian mass extinction that wiped out a massive percentage of marine life. That's at least as likely as some of the competing explanations for this particular extinction event, which include a massive gamma-ray burst.
The researchers reached these conclusions after three months of work with the moss Physcomitrella patens, a modern species that served as an analogue for the first land plants. They tested how the moss affected the chemical weathering of various rocks, then used an Earth system model to figure out how this weathering could have reshaped the Ordovician. The results, as you can see, are quite dramatic.
In a statement, the researchers argue that this speaks to the massive effect that plants have on our planet, emphasizing their power to regulate carbon levels and, by extension, the climate as a whole. That's all well and good, but I can't help but feel that we've been outdone at what we do best by a bunch of plants. Ruining the planet is our job, you mossy bastards!

In a magical land called Fairytopia, where Tooth Fairies dwell, one very beautiful Fairy came to visit my grand-daughter Kaylie. She very carefully exchanged a small top tooth for a Loonie, knowing when Kaylie woke up she would be touched with Fairy Dust :)

A Healthy Fear CD
Stream It:
The CD version of the new album. Four panel digipak and full color disc face.
"Harrisonburg, VA quartet Gifts From Enola will be releasing their new full length "A Healthy Fear" on November 13th via The Mylene Sheath. The record serves as the follow up to 2010's self titled full length effort and their split EP with Caravels earlier this year. In true Gifts From Enola fashion, the band has continued their evolution from a promising, young instrumental post-rock band (2006's "Loyal Eyes Betrayed The Mind"), to ambitious, fearless visionaries (2009's "From Fathoms"), to a post-hardcore/post-metal hybrid (2010's self-titled full length), and now into a class of sonic madness that defies all genre tagging. The band is unafraid to try anything and the results are once again a fresh, new sound from a band that comes across as inspired and excited as ever. The album was recorded and mastered by Will Benoit (Constants, Junius, Caspian, City of Ships) at Radar Studios in Clinton, CT with artwork handled by Charlie Wagers for Three Bears Design. The album will be released on vinyl, CD and digital formats and tour dates will be announced in the coming months as well."

Disney recently started off its marketing campaign for this fall's The Muppets on the right foot, releasing a clever teaser trailer that starts off selling the film as a run-of-the-mill romantic comedy before revealing that Kermit the Frog, Miss Piggy, and the rest of Jim Hemson's beloved felt creations would be in the movie as well.
Now a second teaser trailer has been released for The Fuzzy Pack (a.k.a. The Muppets) that not only parodies the original teaser for The Hangover: Part II – but chances are good you'll actually laugh harder here than at most of the jokes in the Hangover sequel.
The Muppets features Jason Segel (who also wrote the screenplay) and Amy Adams as the main human characters, Gary and Mary – a couple who help Kermit and Co. reunite in order to put on a grand show that'll save their old production studio from being destroyed. Cue the song & dance numbers, celebrity cameos, and general irreverent humor that everyone expects (and loves) in a Muppets movie.
Muppets director James Bobin (Flight of the Conchords) and Segel recruited a whole lot of big names stars to make brief appearances in the film – including, coincidentally enough, The Hangover's Zach Galifianakis and Ed Helms. However, this new Muppets teaser trailer offers an early look at two other guest appearances – and we DARE you to not laugh out loud at the second one.
Although it's been twelve years since the Muppets' last appearance on the big screen (Muppets from Space), the felt puppets are still quite culturally significant – thanks in no small part to the magic of Youtube, where several Muppet skits have been released in recent years. That's not to mention the nostalgia factor for people who grew up watching the Muppet movies, or even TV spinoffs of the original Muppet Show like Muppets Tonight (or the cartoon, Muppet Babies).
While most of the original Muppets crew have by now either passed away (R.I.P. Jim Henson and Richard Hunt) or are essentially retired, Segel and Bobin are clearly members of a generation that still love the classic Muppet approach to humor. So far, that adoration looks to have translated into a new film that retains much of the same fun spirit and energy that the classic Muppet movies, shows, and skits had.
The Muppets arrives in theaters on November 23rd, 2011.

Textile Trio – Untitled 1 (Songs From Under The Floorboards)
Two French turntable brutalists (Alexandre Bellenger and Arnaud Rivière) and drummer/trumpet destroyer Aaron Moore (of Volcano The Bear) joined up for some truly devastating stuff on AAA. This is fucking killer. Free jazz noise taken to the furthest level, a neverending cacophony of hardcore. Turntables getting torn to bits to make sweet skree crumble, I can only imagine what they look like when these guys are done with 'em. The equivalent of smashing your guitar into your amp and lighting them on fire, that's what these guys are doing with their turntables. Fucking insane. And Moore is a beast on the drums, absolute reign over the kit, furious & cathartic. I've only recognized the trumpet for a brief moment on here, which either means a) Moore is mostly taking care of the drums or b) he's warped his trumpet sounds beyond recognition and it just melts together with the rest of the chaos. I'm rooting for the latter. And for the whole goddamn thing. This album is punk as fuck and needs to be heard. Intransitive sub-label Songs From Under The Floorboards has graced us with 100 copies of AAA, make sure you give one a home.

Power your Pill
The Pill is powered by a built-in rechargeable battery. At full power capacity, you'll enjoy up to 7 hours of playback.
From a dead battery, charging time is about 3.5 hours. Here's how to charge your Pill:
- Insert the microUSB end of the cable into the back of the Pill.
- Connect the USB end to a power source or an outlet via the AC wall adapter.
- Charge your device!
The USB port will glow red while charging and glow green when fully charged. When you're at 20 percent battery life, it will glow red—so you will need to charge it soon after.

Two sides to preschool story
In response to the letter to The Hook by Lori Mendez ["Daycare story should be told," October 30] regarding Bright Beginnings Preschool, my office manager, Diane Boland, and I offer these comments: First, there are always two sides to every story.
Secondly, I have known Michelle Morris for 10 years. She helped me care for my children for five years. I found her to be honest, bright, caring, and creative with my young children. I am appalled that Mendez would call Michelle the "bully" when Mendez clearly knows nothing of the legal situation surrounding Michelle's "record."
Thirdly, Diane Boland, who has known Michelle for 12 years as a friend and as her son's teacher, is dismayed at the lack of balance in The Hook's report, regarding Michelle's circumstances. Finally, although Mendez is fortunate enough to sit smugly at home with her children, not all parents are able to do so. I can only hope that other working parents might find someone as dedicated as Michelle Morris to teach and care for their children.
Virginia Barber, M.D.

I recently posted about the mesh trend in lingerie but when it comes to designing sexy intimates using sheer fabrics, Maison Close is in a class all its own. This very provocative French brand, which I just added to the assortment at ThePinkSlip.com, gives a woman passage into the forbidden world of dark and sensual erotica. It's not for the faint of heart, but if you have the best parts in Fifty Shades of Grey earmarked in hard copy or bookmarked on your Kindle, then you might want to take a peek at what Maison Close has to offer. The line puts forth subtle hints at the pleasures of erotic games involving domination and submission. The palette of choice is black and an abundance of mesh designs celebrates a woman's natural beauty in its nearly nude glory. The revealing pieces hardly evoke Eve in the Garden of Eden, however. Maison Close is lingerie meant to seduce in, or at least make a woman feel seductive under her very proper, conservative day clothes. Wearing Maison Close, a woman is ready for the most private of encounters at any time of the day. Here's a look at a few of the standout looks from the new collection that I just couldn't resist and I predict you won't be able to either.
Villa des Lys Catsuit
Meow! Become a feline seductress in this seductive catsuit that's entirely lace with a plunging neckline and plunging back. It hugs every curve and makes you insanely sexy!
Nuit Blanche Bodysuit
Shaped like a swimsuit but most likely designed for indoor sports, the Nuit Blanche bodysuit — Nuit Blanche meaning sleepless night — plays with geometric patterns using black mesh and microfiber adorned with flat metal square studs adding a touch of rock-n roll. It has a racerback and full bottom.
Nuit Blanche High-Waist Thong
Evoking the daring topless bathing suit of the 1960s, the Nuit Blanche high-waist thong is a sight to behold in beautiful black mesh and microfiber adorned with flat metal square studs. This design has a halter neck, bare back and thong bottom.
Villa Satine Bodice
Drive his senses wild and captivate the mind with this bodice from Maison Close's Villa Satine collection. Lace and satin will make you sexy and seductive.
Make your innermost fantasy a delicious reality in pieces from Maison Close. It's a master class in seduction!

A complete wellness program including a healthy diet, routine medical exams and behavioral observation is provided for the rays.

Red Sox On Hunt For Pitcher To Start Possible Tie-Breaker
Ken Rosenthal reports that Kansas City lefty Bruce Chen is one candidate. Tim Dierkes of MLB Trade Rumors mentions Chien-Ming Wang (Nationals), Rodrigo Lopez (Cubs), and Aaron Harang (Padres) as possibilities.
Adding to the insanity*, the Red Sox would most likely have to make the deal before knowing if a game on Thursday would be necessary, and any new pitcher would not be eligible for the postseason roster.
* It's insane, but it also shows that the team will explore any and every possibility, however unorthodox and/or costly - in a trade and any potential fall-out with John Lackey or Tim Wakefield, who might otherwise get the start on short rest -- it might be. That determination and open-mindedness is an admirable trait.
Rob Bradford (WEEI) says the team might activate Clay Buchholz, who was originally scheduled to fly back to Fort Myers and pitch in an Instructional League game today. Buchholz, who has not pitched since June 16, is still with the team.

Here's another Bigelow tea moment: out of curiousity, I checked one of those distance calculators to see what's the longer road trip from St. Pete--Dallas or Detroit. It's roughly the same.

"I'm sitting here reading this thread and I started laughing. Not at any poster or any idea, just in general. Maybe it's because I just gave blood and my brain isn't getting enough oxygen. But the idea that this team, with all of talent in the world on paper, that dominated the league for four months, may have to rely on Bruce Chen to make the playoffs is fucking astounding."

I cant see them signing someone. If they win tonight give the ball to Lackey and tell him to redeem his season . Fuck Bruce Chen I still want a Red Sox on the mound in that game someone who was here during the shit times and the good times. Someone who helped put us in this situation, And I can think of no one better than Lackey......

Even if they grab a noob to start on Thursday, Lackey will likely start the ALDS. So he will get to redeem himself anyway.

Also see an updated video of rooting the Epic 4G:
For those of you who want to take advantage of everything that a Samsung Epic 4G offers, you will certainly want to root your phone.
What does rooting the Samsung Epic 4G mean?
It simply means that you, as a user of the Epic 4G, gain complete control and "full access" to the Android OS underlying the phone.
What can rooting do for me?
Since rooting your Samsung Epic 4G gives you full control over your phone's software, you can do cool things like installing a free wifi tethering app so you can get free 3G/4G wifi tethering without having to pay for it. (Yes, this is legal, recently Library of Congress has passed a law that the user of smartphones have full control over the software.)
There's other neat program you will be able to install to such as apps that let you overclock your phone.
In other words, just think of it as "admin" access.
Why smartphones don't come with it by default? The short answer is to give carriers more control and also minimizes newbies messing up their phone by accident. For the rest of us who want 100% out of our smartphones, rooting isn't such a bad idea after all.
How to Root Your Samsung Epic 4G!
1. First, go to Settings->Applications->Development on your Samsung Epic 4G then make sure "USB Debugging" is set to On.
*Note – Make sure everything is unplugged such as your micro USB cable.
2. Second, plug your Samsung Epic 4G onto your computer via a micro USB cable and make sure that the USB is set to "PC Mode".
3. Third, install Samsung Epic 4G drivers. – see here on how to install Epic 4G drivers.
4. Run the setup file and you can verify that your driver is working by going to Device Manager.
5. Next, download this file:
and unzip it to a folder easy to remember such as c:\samsunge.
6. Open up a command prompt (type "cmd" under search), browse to the directory you unzipped the files to by doing "cd \samsunge".
7. Type "run.bat".
8. That's it! You can double check that your phone has been rooted by doing:
adb shell
to enter the shell of your Samsung Epic 4G,
then type "su".
If you get a "#" sign, that means your phone has been rooted!

Look at Maryland grabbing up transfers all of a sudden.
The Terps picked up another athlete this week with the addition of quarterback Ricardo Young. The school announced the addition in a statement.
"It's nice to add Ricardo to the team," Randy Edsall said. "I recruited him while I was at UConn, so I'm familiar with him as a person. He's also a tremendous athlete and football player. We're glad he's decided to come back home and be part of the excitement that is building around the program."
Two days ago, Maryland announced former New Mexico receiver Daniel Adams was joining the team.
Young began his collegiate career at Virginia Tech in 2010, where he redshirted and eventually fell behind starter Logan Thomas in the depth chart. In 2011, Young transferred to New Mexico — current Terps offensive coordinator Mike Locksley was the former coach for the Lobos — before transferring again briefly to Iowa Western C.C.
Due to NCAA transfer rules, Young will have to sit out yet another season and will be eligible to play in 2013 as a redshirt junior.

The spring signing period is over, but the Rutgers men's basketball team is still holding out hope for James Beatty. The talented junior college point guard has kept his decision-making process under CIA-level wraps, but he is believed to be choosing between the Scarlet Knights and Miami.
Even though he can no longer sign a letter of intent binding him to a school, Beatty can still commit by signing scholarship papers right up until classes begin in August.
What is Plan B? Corey Chandler will run the point, with Mike Coburn helping out. It's not ideal—both are combo guards, better at scoring than running an offense at the Big East level. But that's the reality.
Rutgers has three open scholarships, and it's possible the Scarlet Knights will look overseas for a wing with a shooting touch this summer. Otherwise, pending Beatty's decision, what you see is what you will get on the court next winter.
SCHEDULE MATTERS: Rutgers' non-conference schedule is just about finished. Here's what it looks like:
Marist (season opener)
Vermont (Legends Classic)
Drexel (Legends Classic)
UMass (Legends Classic at The Rock)
Michigan State or Florida (Legends Classic at The Rock)
At North Carolina
St. Peter's
Possibly one more game if they can find someone to start a home-and-home with.

Captain America and Thor battled bad guys amid exploding cars on the streets of Cleveland this summer as Hollywood rolled in to film The Avengers, next year's big-screen, comic-book blockbuster.
Captain America and Thor battled bad guys amid exploding cars on the streets of Cleveland this summer as Hollywood rolled in to film The Avengers, next year�s big-screen, comic-book blockbuster.
This fall, Ides of March, filmed in Cincinnati and starring George Clooney, opens nationwide. A Val Kilmer movie, Seven Below, was filmed in the Queen City this summer.
Cleveland and Cincinnati have publicly funded film offices. Cleveland�s $500,000 annual budget includes $160,000 from the city. Cincinnati�s $200,000 budget includes $50,000 in city funds.
The Ohio Film Office offered $10 million in tax credits statewide to moviemakers this year.
Last week, the Ohio Department of Development announced that $3.4 million in tax credits was awarded to five movies being filmed in the Cleveland, Akron and Toledo areas. One location has yet to be determined.
Columbus� nonprofit film office gets no public funding. That, some say, hampers the city�s efforts to land major productions.
�City funding would help, or private funding,� said Gail Mezey, the former executive director of the Greater Columbus Film Commission and interim office coordinator of the Ohio Film Office since March.
The Columbus commission has never received city money, said Mezey, who created the commission and maintains its website in her Upper Arlington basement with the $2,000 in startup money she invested in 2006. The commission applied for city money two years ago but got nothing, she said.
Mezey cobbled together grants from time to time � $12,000 from the Greater Columbus Arts Council several years ago � but operated on little else.
�It was a labor of love,� she said. �You spend so much of your time looking for the money.�
Ivan Schwarz, executive director of the Greater Cleveland Film Commission, said he wouldn�t be able to do his job as effectively without the public and foundation money.
Columbus Mayor Michael B. Coleman would like to see the city land major productions, said his spokesman Dan Williamson. �The mayor�s very competitive.�
But he said Columbus needs to pay for other economic-development priorities and basic neighborhood services. Williamson said Coleman also wants to have a larger discussion about how to fund other arts and tourism efforts as well as the local commission.
Commissions in other cities receive money from foundations or through private donations as well as public money.
Cities crave the publicity movie productions generate as well as the boost to the local economy. Productions often hire local crew members, and out-of-towners stay in hotels and eat at restaurants.
Schwarz said that The Avengers and three other feature films and some independent productions will generate as much as $90 million for northeastern Ohio this year.
Even a sizable television commercial can generate as much as $500,000 for the local economy, Mezey said.
Columbus has had some interest from filmmakers. Scenes for Parker, a crime thriller featuring Jennifer Lopez, were filmed for a few days during the Ohio State Fair, with actors Jason Statham and Michael Chiklis, Mezey said.
A film to be partly shot in Columbus by Bexley native and How I Met Your Mother actor Josh Radnor received state tax credits.
One reason Cleveland lands more movies, Schwarz said, is because his office is �incredibly aggressive.�
It also helps that he worked in the industry as a location manager for 20 years and has contacts in Hollywood. �I�m out in L.A. five weeks a year,� he said.
Contacts help in Cincinnati, too. George Clooney�s mother, Nina Clooney, heads the board of the Kentucky Film Commission.
Kristen Erwin is a member of that commission as well as executive director of the Greater Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky Film Commission.
�It helps to have a relationship, but it helps to have a budget to nurture those relationships,� Erwin said. �I would like to have Cleveland�s budget so I can be in L.A. more often.�
Cleveland also landed I, Alex Cross, a crime story starring Tyler Perry and Matthew Fox of Lost fame.
The state offered $10?million in motion-picture tax credits to film producers in the current fiscal year, and $5 million went for I, Alex Cross, Schwarz said.
The state has offered a total of $40 million in tax credits the past three fiscal years.
Schwarz, Erwin and Mezey say the state needs to offer additional tax credits to attract more films and help build the industry in Ohio.

Philadelphia rapper Meek Mill may have violated terms of his probation, according to his probation officer, Treas Underwood and Assistant District Attorney Noel A. DeSantis. In a hearing on Friday (March 16), Underwood and DeSantis explained that Mill, whose real name is Robert Williams, cannot leave the state of Pennsylvania without providing a detailed agenda about his travel destinations.
In a court dispute, Underwood reportedly explained that Mill often leaves without providing this information. He also often leaves without calling, according to Underwood. "The problem is that I don't know," Mill declared about his travel plans. "It changes every day." Beyond this, Mill clarified that he is not in charge of his own travel itinerary and that his attorney has been asked to inform Underwood of the specifics of his travels. Underwood responded, "But you're supposed to call me."
Mill also shared that he has a fear of being in Philadelphia, adding that he prefers to travel for his own safety.
"My best thing is to stay traveling," Meek disclosed in the two-hour hearing. "Every time I come back to Philadelphia, someone tries to shoot me or get me back in trouble." His fear of being shot could possibly be related to a recent shooting incident involving Maybach Music Group's boss, Rick Ross.
Mill also feels he needs a new probation officer. The Maybach Music Group emcee explained that he and Underwood have a history, knowing one another since they were younger in North Philly. He also feels Underwood is creating problems in his life, saying Underwood has made him wait in public areas where fans and other probation officers ask for autographs and demo tape reviews, according to Philly.com. However, Judge Genece E. Brinkley did not grant a separation between Mill and Underwood. "That's not going to happen," the judge replied. "You folks are just going to have to work it out."
Mill is on a five year probation stint after a 2008 drug and gun conviction. He served eight months in prison and began this probation sentence in 2009.
