Of all the contemporary rivalries involving the environmentpaper vs. plastic, oil vs. coal, wind vs. solarsteel vs. aluminum might end up among the most important. It certainly is emerging as one of the most hard fought in the court of public and industry opinion. Not to mention that it consistently draws response when we address the topic, as in the story on page 30.
We obviously arent going to wade into the argument over which side is correct, or even more correct, for the simple reason that not enough evidence is in and all of the goals remain unclear.
After laying out aluminums case in the February magazine, this month we put the spotlight on steel. Why do we keep addressing such a contentious and amorphous issue? Because for the overall future of the metals industry, the U.S. economy and the global environment, its good news that this battle is taking place.
In recent years, the steel and aluminum sectors have embraced materials lifecycle analysis. They have done so because existing production technology offers limited opportunities to reduce the amount of greenhouse gases emitted, which means that producers must focus on indirect emissions.
Beyond this, even next-generation processes will be energy intensive, so industry emissions will be tied to energy efficiency for the foreseeable future. Also, steel and aluminum products are already among the most recycled materials in the economy, which means that despite an energy-intensive first-production footprint, the more often the materials are reused the lower the net lifecycle emissions per use.
Finally, steel and aluminum products are going to play major roles in the automotive and energy sectors, to name just two big components, and so covering the direction and competition that this issue engenders is going to be an ongoing part of our news and other industry coverage.
To give a sense of just how complex, and contentious, this fight is, just look at a few examples from AMM over the past year of arguments by experts and industry players:
Earlier this year, aluminum industry executives claimed a threefold fuel economy benefit with aluminum vs. even high-strength steels. Steel industry executives countered that fuel economy improvements are directly proportional to the mass saved, arguing that lightweighting with steel is similar to aluminum but usually at a much lower cost and with fewer carbon dioxide emissions. Then aluminum requestioned those assertions.
Aluminum industry advocates argued that steel can pick up residuals each time the product is recycled. The steel industry countered by saying that all steels are alloys, meaning they are made of multiple elements and that all grades of steel have specific chemistries. Steel enjoys open-loop recycling in which any end-of-life products can be used to make another steel product, they said, pointing out that certain aluminum grades must be segregated and recycled into like products. Then aluminum representatives stated that all of those assertions werent wholly true.
A consultant to the aluminum industry said it was exceedingly difficult to take steel scrap and recycle it as easily as aluminum. The steel industry shot back, arguing that steel is the most recycled material in the worldmore than aluminum, paper and plastic combined. The average recycling rate of automobiles in North America is around 100 percent, defined by the tons of steel reclaimed by recycling vehicles vs. the new steel used to make vehicles each year, they said. The entire process of dismantling and recycling vehicles is based on the inherent recyclability of steel. Predictably, aluminum experts said that while much of this was true, it wasnt the entire story, and they still believe their metal is the better choice.
And so the arguments go back and forth. At this juncture, the debates are less about who can empirically claim victory and more clearly are attempts to sway important constituencies: the public, the government, the business community.
But the truth is, right now there is no Platonic ideal of sustainability, efficiency or other "green" targets for either side to be stacked up against. The movement to a cleaner and greener economy and world isnt a fixed target, but rather is still being defined and discussed.
But any trial, whether in an actual courtroom or in the court of public opinion, isnt decided on fact and evidence alone; it is decided on the comprehension and interpretation of fact and evidence. So it will be in this battle.
In the case of steel vs. aluminum, the jury is still outalthough deliberations are getting a bit testy.
All comments are subject to editorial review.
All fields are compulsory.
Every month American Metal Market takes a statistical look inside the marketplace.
We actually don't know who his investors are. At the point when we are ready, we will investigate further. There are just so many things to handle and there are a lot of items to be considered with the project."

As anyone in healthcare will tell you, the U.S. government has an interesting sense of timing. A day after the Pentagon announces it plans to end its ban on women in frontline combat, the VA announces that it has awarded grants to VA facilities that are launching women's health projects, including establishing telehealth services for female veterans living in rural areas. Coincidence, or well-timed marketing/public relations strategy?
According to the VA's press release announcing the grants, "Women serve in every branch of the military, representing 15 percent of today's active duty military and nearly 18 percent of National Guard and Reserve forces. By 2020, VA estimates women Veterans will constitute 10 percent of the Veteran population."
No mention was made in the release, of course, of the 237,000 jobs that will be available to women in the armed forces now that the combat ban has been lifted. I wonder if that 10-percent figure might jump a little once 2016 rolls around and arguments amongst government agencies regarding combat roles that should remain closed to women are laid to rest.
Telehealth grants were awarded to 10 facilities, and, according to the VA, will be used to provide services including tele-mental health, tele-gynecology, tele-pharmacy and telephone maternity care coordination.
While I applaud Secretary of Veterans Affairs Eric K. Shinseki's statement that "[t]hese new projects will improve access and quality of critical health care services for women," I'm not quite sure where I stand on the underlying issue – why aren't female veterans already given 100 percent access to care at VA facilities, and why does the government seem to be planning for an increased need for healthcare services? But that speaks to a bigger problem that is probably best addressed elsewhere.

Hey everyone,
Was wondering if anyone around the Colchester area had any rats for sale or needing rehoming, due to an arm injury I'm unable to drive atm, my rat died three weeks ago due to old age and desperate for more, got one from the pets at home near me and had to "sell it back" when he had health issues two days after getting him, that was a week ago and very reluctant to have to go back in as much as I want to give all of them in their a better home I think I'd end up with more heartache, if anyone can help me out or know anyone around the Colchester area please email me email@example.com

There are some characters in Chinese which give me severe headaches, especially those that have the same pronunciation and mean more or less the same thing.
I have learnt three characters which are all pronounced shēng: 升, 陞 and 昇. Is there any significant difference between these characters in modern usage? I'm talking about traditional Chinese here, I don't think 陞 and 昇 are used at all in simplified Chinese.

Buddhism - Indian History Part I:
I have always been fascinated with the richness of Indian culture, the formation of society. It is more interesting and nice to know as to how we have evolved over time and where we are now. I usually ponder over in the internet and other resources to read about Indian Mideval history.
My major area of interest were to know first hand as to why we consider things that we feel are values, the values that we follow in our daily life, why do we give so much importance to our families and social binding, why we have festivals, why we respect our elders and why we are more adjustable and tolerant ones when compared to other regions.
Before even getting into the above topics which needs a huge research into our history, I want to let you know a bit interesting subject of Buddhism. Why suddenly Buddhism? Cause this is the religion that is founded in India, once it was "THE Religion" in India, almost pushed Hinduism to its extinction, but such a popular religion in the 13th Century, suddenly disappeared from our Subcontinent. The more fascinating thing is that it is still popular in other countries like Srilanka, Japan, Tibet, Thailand, China, where it was spread, but doesn't even have a considerable percentage of people in India where it originated. Don't you think we are missing some thing here?
To know more about it, let see a brief history of Buddhism:
(I have collected the events below from no of sources in the web)
6th Century BC:
Birth Of Buddha and his Early Life:
He was born a prince circa 563 BCE in Lumbinī in the Terai lowlands near the foothills of the Himalayas. At the time, this was part of northern India. It is now part of Nepal, a small country located between India and Tibet. He was a member of the Ś�kyas clan. His father, Suddhodana, was king of the clan. His mother was named Maya.
He was given the name Siddh�rtha Gautama. Siddh�rtha means "one who has achieved his aim." Gautama was his clan name. He was sometimes referred to as Ś�kyamuni which means "the sage of the Ś�kyas."
Ś�kyamuni was raised as a Hindu. His parents assumed that he would succeed his father later in his life. His parents were concerned about a prophecy that astrologers gave at the time of his birth. They predicted that he would become either a universal monarch or a monk who would be a great religious teacher. His parents raised him in a state of luxury in the hope that he would become attached to earthly things and to pleasure. This would make it less likely that he choose the religious life.
At the age of 16, he was married to his wife Yaśodhar�. When he was 29, his wife had a son, R�hula. Shortly after his son's birth, some sources say that he took four journeys by chariot. Other sources say he had four visions. During the first trip/vision he was deeply disturbed by seeing an elderly, helpless, frail man. On the second, he saw an emaciated and depressed man suffering from an advanced disease. On the third, he spotted a grieving family carrying the corpse of one of their own to a cremation site. He reflected deeply upon the suffering brought about by old age, illness and death. On his fourth trip/vision, he saw a religious mendicant -- a śramaņa -- who led a reclusive life of meditation, and was calm and serene. The four encounters motivated him to follow the path of the mendicant and find a spiritual solution to the problems brought about by human suffering.
He left his wife, child, luxurious lifestyle, and future role as a leader of his people in order to seek truth. It was an accepted practice at the time for some men to leave their family and lead the life of an ascetic in Hinduism.
Pranayama and Other Meditation forms Pracised by Hindu Saints:
He first tried meditation, which he learned from two teachers. He felt that these were valuable skills. However, meditation could not be extended forever, He eventually had to return to normal waking consciousness and face the unsolved problems relating to birth, sickness, old age and death.
He then joined a group of similarly-minded students of Brahmanism in a forest where he practiced breath control and fasted severely for six years. He is said to have brought himself to the brink of death by only eating a few grains of rice each day. Some sources say that he consumed only a spoonful of bean soup per day. This technique produced a series of physical discomforts. Ultimately, he rejected this path as well. He realized that neither the extremes of the mortification of the flesh or of hedonism would lead to enlightenment. He determined that a better path to achieve the state of Nirvana -- a state of liberation and freedom from suffering -- was to pursue a "Middle Way." This way was largely defined by moderation and meditation.
The Enlightment:
One night In 535 BCE, at the age of 35, he was seated underneath a large tree -- later known as the Bodhi tree (species Pipal or ficus religiosus). He began to experience some major breakthroughs:
During the first watch of the night, he developed the ability to recall the events of his previous reincarnations in detail.
During the second watch, he was able to see how the good and bad deeds that many living entities performed during their lifetimes led to their subsequent reincarnation into their next life.
During the third watch, he learned that he had progressed beyond "spiritual defilements," craving, desire, hatred, hunger, thirst, exhaustion, fear, doubt, and delusions. He had attained nirvana. He would never again be reincarnated into a future life.
He had attained enlightenment! "He became a savior, deliverer, and redeemer." The events under the Bodhi tree are often described in mythological terms in Buddhist literature and art. His experiences are portrayed as a battle with M�ra, the Buddhist equivalent of the Judeo-Christian-Islamic Satan.
5th Century BC:
First Buddhist Council at Rajagaha (486) after the Parinirvana*, under the patronage of King Ajatasattu.
Parinirvana � Death of Buddha.

schools of Chinese Buddhism.
� Buddhism enters Japan (538) becomes state religion (594).
� Buddhism flourishing in Indonesia.
� Jataka Tales translated into Persian by King Khusru (531-579).
10th and 11th Century BE
These centuries are very important as they give the declination of Buddism in Central Asia (in 10th century) and by 11th century Buddhism declines in India.
The Declination of Buddhism is due to revitalization of Hindusim in India by three successive great Hindu Saints Sri Shankara, Sri Ramanuja and Sri Madhava.
These three saints virtually bought back Hinduism to India and removed the Buddhist dominance in the India.
Now that we have some breif history of Buddhism in India, i shall elaborate on the basic principles of this great religion on my next post.

This is what we are planning for our College mates meet this week end. Planning to meet at least 20 of us. This alumni meet shall happen in Mayajal / Besant Nagar beach this Saturday in the evening. I am kinda organizing this event. We actually had long chat sessions (Conference) with our college mates yesterday; it was so refreshingly cool that I was stuck that we need to meet now. After a gap of 4 long years we are planning to see those old faces that should bring back the fond memories that we have had before. I am really very eager to meet all my class mates and like to know more of what they do.
Waiting for the time to meet all of you guys.. Lets rejoice.. Lets recollect those golden moments.. Lets have Fun.. Lets have a great Week end.
Yeah, you heard it right (rather saw it right!) I had bought a new Table Tennis bat. It�s a �stiga� bat with 13,12,18 configuration (13- Spin, 12-Speed, 18- Control). Its actually a long overdue for me to get a TT bat. Last Saturday, I went to the Pantaloons shop at Spencers in Chennai to buy this batJ. I was used to play TT during my college days., during my third year to be more precise, in Fourth year we never went to college.. Our College had one of the most relaxed environment which others used to envy. I did my Engineering from Bharath Institute of Science and Technology and passed out in the year 2000. Our college is also called as BIST.
I would be playing with my new TT bat from today. Wasn�t that a gr8 newz uh! (It is for me! )
Seven Habits of Highly Effective People:
I am referring to a book written by Stephen R Covey, aimed for personal development.
This is one of the most effective book that I have ever read on personality development.
I have almost transformed into a better person of my own gauge! It has really brought in the change in me. I feel this is one book that has to be read by all the people at least once in their life time. Every one should definitely get good fruits out of it.
As I read more times, i get much better :)

No matter how you measure it, Tony Conigliaro's career got off to a terrific start, but tragedy repeatedly intervened and the great promise of his early years remained unfulfilled. A local boy made good, Tony was born and raised in the Boston area, signed with the hometown team, and made his major league debut in 1964 soon after he turned 19 years old. In his very first at-bat at Fenway Park, Tony turned on the very first pitch he saw, and pounded it out of the park for a home run. By hitting 24 home runs in his rookie season, he set a record for the most home runs ever hit by a teenager. When he led the league in homers with 32 the following year, he became the youngest player ever to take the home run crown. When he hit home run #100, during the first game of a doubleheader on July 23, 1967, he was only 22 – the youngest A.L. player to reach the 100 homer plateau. He hit #101 in the day's second game.
As if that wasn't enough, Tony Conigliaro was a bona fide celebrity and singer with a couple of regional hit records to his credit.
Tony C was born on January 7, 1945 in Revere, Massachusetts, and grew up both there and in East Boston, where he first played Little League ball at age nine. Tony and his younger brother Billy (b. 1947) were obsessed with baseball, playing it at every possible opportunity, usually with the support and guidance of their uncle Vinnie Martelli. "He used to pitch batting practice to me for hours, till my hands bled," wrote Conigliaro in his autobiography Seeing It Through. In his very first at-bat for the Orient Park Sparks Little League team, Tony hit a home run over the center-field fence. He credits coach Ben Campbell for giving him tremendous encouragement in youth baseball.
At a very early age, Tony confessed, "I discovered how much I hated to lose." His teams didn't lose that often. By the time he was 13 and in Pony League, they were traveling out of state in tournament play. Tony went to high school at St. Mary's in Lynn, where his father Sal was now working at Triangle Tool and Dye. Sal and Tony's mother Teresa were very supportive of Tony's athletic endeavors and were a fixture at Tony's various ballgames.
Playing both shortstop and pitching, Tony had already come to the attention of scouts like Lennie Merullo and Milt Bolling and by the time he graduated claims to have had as many as 14 scouts tracking him. In his final couple of years, he recalls batting over .600 and having won 16 games as well as his team winning the Catholic Conference Championship. He played American Legion ball in the summertimes, with the same .600 batting average. The Red Sox asked him to come to a 1962 workout at Fenway Park, and both he and Tony Horton showed their stuff. When the Legion season ended and Tony's father courted bids, Boston's Milt Bolling and Red Sox farm director Neil Mahoney made the best bid at $20,000 and Tony signed with the Red Sox. (1) He was sent to Bradenton for the Florida Instructional League.
It was his first time far from home, and he didn't stand out that well at winter ball. In the spring of 1963, he was invited to the Red Sox minor league camp at Ocala. He did well there, and was assigned to Wellsville in the New York-Penn League. Before he reported, he went home to see his girlfriend, got in a fight with a local boy, and broke his thumb. He wasn't able to report to Wellsville until the end of May. That was the end of his pitching career, but the scouts were looking at his hitting more than his pitching in any event. Tony did well at Wellsville, batting .363, hitting 24 homers, and winning the league's Rookie of the Year and MVP awards. He played winter ball in Sarasota and was added to the Red Sox 40-man roster. The next spring, 1964, he was brought to the big league spring training headquarters in Scottsdale, Arizona.
Boston's manager was Johnny Pesky who, as it happened, lived on the same street in Swampscott to which the Conigliaro family had recently moved: Parsons Street. Pesky saw the fire in Tony Conigliaro and played him that spring; Tony hit a monster home run off Cleveland's Gary Bell on March 22, the first day his parents came to visit him in Scottsdale. Ted Williams admired Conigliaro's style and told him, whatever he did, "Don't change that solid stance of yours, no matter what you're told." Ted told reporters, though, "He's just a kid; he's two years away."
Johnny Pesky saw otherwise. Tony C was 19, only in his second year in organized ball, but he made the big league club as the centerfielder for the Red Sox. Pesky was taking a chance on a relatively-untested player, but the 1964 Sox, frankly, didn't have a great deal of talent.
Conigliaro's first major league game was in Yankee Stadium on April 16. In his first major league at-bat, he stepped into the box with men on first and second, and grounded into a double play. His third time up, he singled and finished the day 1-for-5. The next day, April 17, was Opening Day at Fenway Park. Tony was batting seventh in the order, facing Joe Horlen of the White Sox. He swung at Horlen's first pitch and hit it over the Green Monster in left field, and even over the net that hung above the Wall. Tony Conigliaro, wearing #25, took his first home run trot. Tony told writers afterward that he always swung at the first good pitch he saw. "I don't like to give the pitcher any kind of edge," he said.
In that same spirit, Conigliaro crowded the plate. And pitchers, quite naturally, tried to back him off the plate. He was often hit by pitches, and suffered his first injury on May 24 when Moe Drabowsky hit him in the left wrist, causing a hairline fracture. Fortunately, Tony missed only four games.
Back in the lineup, back pounding out homers, Tony hit #20 in the first game of the July 26 doubleheader against Cleveland. In the second game, he got hit for the fifth time in the season, by Pedro Ramos. It broke his arm. This time he missed a month, out until September 4. Conigliaro finished the season with 24 homers and a .290 average.
In 1965, under manager Billy Herman, Tony played in 138 games and hit 32 more homers, enough to lead the league, though his average dipped to .269. During the June free-agent draft, there was more good news in the Conigliaro family: the Red Sox used their first pick to select Tony's younger brother Billy Conigliaro. Tony was struck yet again by another ball on July 28, when a Wes Stock pitch broke his left wrist. It was the third broken bone Tony had suffered in just over 14 months. He simply refused to back off the plate. Orioles executive Frank Lane intimated that Red Sox pitchers could defend Tony a bit better by retaliating.
Suffering no serious injuries in 1966, Tony got in a very full season, seeing action in 150 games. He banged out 28 homers and drove in 93 runs, leading the league in sacrifice flies with seven. His average was .265 and the Boston writers voted him Red Sox MVP. The Red Sox as a team, though, played poorly in these years. In 1966, they were spared the ignomy of last place only because the Yankees played even worse. Boston ended the year in ninth place, 26 games out of first, and the Yankees ended in tenth, 26 ½ games behind the Orioles. In his first three years in the majors, the highest that one of Tony's teams finished was eighth place in 1964.
Tony C's brilliant play shone all the more because of the colorless team around him. The local boy made good was a teenage heartthrob and the 6'3″ handsome star attracted a lot of attention from local girls, and girls on the road. Assigning older players as roommates to provide a stabilizing presence didn't do the trick. Dick Williams wrote in his autobiography, "I never saw him. Not late at night, not first thing in the morning, never. I was providing veteran influence to a suitcase." In the early part of 1965, Tony Conigliaro the pop star released his first recording.
Billy Conigliaro joined his brother as the two traveled together to spring training in 1967. Tony got hit by a fastball in early workouts and he hurt his back as well. Billy was sent out for more seasoning; he first made the big league club in 1969. Tony got off to a slow start, batting well enough but without much power. He didn't hit his third home run until June 11. And he still crowded the plate. Johnny Pesky told author David Cataneo, "He was fearless of the ball. He would just move his head, like Williams did. A ball up and in, Tony would just move his head. He thought the ball would never hit him."
The Red Sox surprised everyone with their play in 1967. Tony contributed as well. One game that stood out was an extra-inning affair at Fenway. Boston was hosting the White Sox and the game was scoreless for 10 full innings. Chicago took a 1-0 lead in the top of the 11th, but Joe Foy singled and Conigliaro hit a two-run homer off John Buzhardt for a walkoff win. The win moved the Red Sox up by percentage points to take third place, just four games out of first, and the next day's Boston Globe referred to the "Impossible Dream" season the Red Sox team was having for itself.
It was on July 23 that Tony hit the 100th and 101st home runs of his major league career. The Red Sox were just one-half game out of first place. It was a tight race, with the Red Sox hanging just out of first, but never quite making it on top. As late as August 14, the Red Sox were in fifth place — but only three games out.
On the 17th, Tony's partner in the music business, Ed Penney, was visiting his sons at the Ted Williams Baseball Camp in Lakeville, MA. Ted warned Penney, "Tony is crowding the plate. He's much too close. Tell him to back off. It's serious time now. The pitchers are going to get serious." As Penney was leaving the camp later that evening, Williams shouted to Penney, "Tell Tony what I said. Don't forget to tell Tony what I told you." Penney did tell him, before the game the very next night. Tony was in a slump at the time, and told brother Billy he couldn't back off the plate or pitchers wouldn't take him seriously. If anything, he was going to dig in a little closer.
The Red Sox were facing the California Angels the next day – August 18 – and Jack Hamilton's fourth-inning fastball came in and struck Tony in the face, just missing his temple but hitting him in the left eye and cheekbone. Tony later wrote that he jerked his head back "so hard that my helmet flipped off just before impact." He never lost consciousness, but as he lay on the ground, David Cataneo wrote, Tony prayed, "God, please, please don't let me die right here in the dirt at home plate at Fenway Park." Tony was fortunate to escape with his life, but his season — and quite possibly his career – was over. Conigliaro had been very badly injured.
The 1967 Red Sox made it to Game Seven of the World Series before the bubble burst. It had nonetheless been a tremendous year for the team, and reignited the passion for the Sox in the city of Boston. Since 1967, tickets for Fenway Park have been hard to come by. Tony, however, felt he'd let the team down. He was down on himself and downplayed his contribution in the drive to the pennant. His teammates were the first to reassure him that they never would have reached the postseason had it not been for his contributions early on. There is little doubt, though, that Conigliaro was missed in the World Series itself. George Scott was unambiguous in his assessment: "I've said it a million times, if Tony had been in the lineup, we would have won. He was one of those guys. Reggie Jackson was a big-game player. Tony was that kind of player."
There was concern he might lose the sight in his left eye. He tried to come back in spring training, but there was just no way. His vision was inadequate, and his doctor told him, "I don't want to be cruel, and there's no way of telling you this in a nice way, but it's not safe for you to play ball anymore." Tony C wouldn't quit, though, and against all odds, his vision slowly began to improve. By late May, he was told he could begin to work out again. Tony also learned new ways to see the ball. When he looked straight on at the pitcher, he couldn't see the ball, but he learned to use his peripheral vision to pick up the ball and was able to see well enough by looking a couple of inches to the left. Tony wanted badly to get back into baseball, and he spent a good amount of time in the late summer of 1968 trying to learn to become a pitcher, and started several games in the Winter Instructional League for the Sarasota Red Sox beginning on November 4 but he rolled up a record of 0-3, giving up 15 runs in one game, and developed a sore arm as well. He played in the outfield on the days he wasn't pitching and he began to connect for a few solid hits. He gave up the idea of pitching, emboldened to try to come back as a hitter in spring training 1969.
Not only did Tony make the team in 1969, but he broke back in with a bang, hitting a two-run homer in the top of the 10th during Opening Day in Baltimore on April 8. The O's re-tied the game, but Tony led off in the 12th and worked a walk, eventually coming home to score on Dalton Jones' sacrifice fly to right. Tony hit the game-winning hit in the fourth inning of the home opener at Fenway Park on April 14, though admittedly it wasn't much of a hit. Tony came up with the bases loaded and wanted to break the game open. Instead, he sent a 15-foot dribbler toward Brooks Robinson at third, and beat it out as Ray Culp scored from third. Tony C was back. It was never easy, and the various books on Conig's struggle document how hard he had to work at what once seemed so effortless, but Tony played in 141 games, hit 20 home runs, and drove in 82 runs. Tony won the Comeback Player of the Year Award. There wasn't any question who would win it.
1970 was Tony's best year at the plate, with a full 36 homers and 116 RBIs. He also scored a career-high 89 runs. Brother Billy had made the Red Sox, too, in 1969, getting himself 80 at-bats and acquitting himself well. Billy became a regular in 1970, appearing in 114 games and batting .271. Add his 18 homers to Tony's 36, and the resulting total of 54 set a record for the most home runs by two brothers on the same major league club. On July 4 and September 19, they each homered in the same game.
In October, the Red Sox traded Tony Conigliaro. Stats aside, they knew that Conigliaro was playing on guts and native talent, but may have sensed that his vision was still questionable. His trade value was as high as it would likely ever be. Not even waiting for Baltimore and Cincinnati to finish the World Series, they packaged Conigliaro with Ray Jarvis and Jerry Moses and swapped him to the California Angels for Ken Tatum, Jarvis Tatum, and Doug Griffin. Even years later, Red Sox executives neither explained nor took credit (or responsibility) for the trade. The news stunned the baseball world — and Red Sox fans in particular. As author Herb Crehan wrote in Red Sox Heroes of Yesteryear, naming Boston's current mayor, "it was as if Mayor Menino were to trade the USS Constitution to Baltimore for the USS Constellation." Ken Tatum may have been the key to the trade; the Sox were after a strong reliever and he'd done very well for California.
Tony was crushed, and as Crehan noted, he "never adjusted to life as a California Angel." David Cataneo writes, "Tony C and southern California just didn't happen." Conigliaro batted just .222 in 1971, with only four homers and 15 RBI just before the All-Star break. Tony had headaches coming back. He wasn't feeling good. Cataneo mentions a string of ailments, from a bad leg to a pinched nerve. He even put himself in traction for an hour before every game. Some of the Angels lost patience with him and began to mock him. Finally, fed up enough, he packed his bags and left the team after the July 9 game, announcing his retirement. He also told reporters that he simply couldn't see well enough, but took the Red Sox off the hook for having dealt tarnished goods. "My eyesight never came back to normal…I pick up the spin on the ball late, by looking away to the side. I don't know how I do it. I kept it away from the Red Sox…I had a lot of headaches because of the strain to see…my search for that damn baseball."
When he heard the news that Tony had left the Angels, Bill Conigliaro exploded in the Red Sox clubhouse, telling reporters that the reason for the trade to California in the first place had been Carl Yastrzemski, that Yaz had all the influence on the ballclub. "Tony was traded because of one guy — over there," he charged, indicating Yastrzemski. Yaz "got rid of Pesky, Ken Harrelson, and Tony. I know I'm next. Yaz and Reggie [Smith] are being babied, and the club better do something about it."
Billy was part of a major 10-player trade with Milwaukee, but the trade was not made until October. Billy never rejoined the Red Sox- but Tony did. It took a while.
An eye exam Tony underwent after returning to Boston showed that the blind spot in his vision had grown considerably; his vision was deteriorating once more. Tony hadn't given up yet and in October 1973 talked about wanting to mount another comeback with the Angels in 1974. It appears that the Angels wanted him to play for their Salt Lake City affiliate, to see how he worked out, but Tony was past wanting to play for a minor league team and so seems to have stayed on the voluntarily retired list. Late in 1974, he wrote to the Red Sox asking for another shot at a comeback and GM Dick O'Connell said he could come to spring training, but not at financial cost to the Red Sox. If he was willing to pay his own way, he was welcome to give it a try. The Angels graciously granted him his outright release in November 1974. The Red Sox offered him a contract with the Pawtucket Red Sox, which he signed on March 5, 1975.
Tony took up the challenge, and he had an exceptional spring. On April 4, he got word that he had made the big league team. Opening Day 1975 was four days later, at Fenway Park on April 8, and Tony was the designated hitter, batting cleanup. With two outs and Yaz on first, Tony singled and Yaz took third. The crowd gave Tony C a three-minute standing ovation. Perhaps Milwaukee pitcher Jim Slaton and his batterymate Darrell Porter were a little offguard; the Red Sox scored a run when Tony and Yaz pulled off a double steal.
Tony's first home run came three days later, off Mike Cuellar in Baltimore. With a first-inning single the following day, he drove in another run, but his .200 average after the April 12 game was the highest he posted for the rest of the season. Tony appeared only in 21 games, for 57 at-bats, and was batting just .123 after the game on June 12. He was hampered by a couple of injuries; it just wasn't working out. The Red Sox needed to make room on the 25-man roster for infielder Denny Doyle and they asked Tony to go to Pawtucket. After thinking it over for a week, he agreed to and reported, traveling with the Pawsox, but not getting playing time. Manager Joe Morgan said, "He had lost those real good reflexes" and teammate Buddy Hunter told David Cataneo, "Any guy who threw real hard, he had trouble with." Hunter added, "He was droppng easy fly balls in the outfield." In August, Tony Conigliaro finally called it a day, and retired once again, this time for good. "My body is falling apart," he explained.
Before too long, Tony found work as a broadcaster, first in Providence and then in the San Francisco area. He lost a nice gig in the Bay Area in early 1980, but filled in with other stations. In a life full of setbacks, even the health food store Tony owned in California was lost to mudslides in December 1981.
In early 1982, though, Tony learned that Ken Harrelson was leaving his job as color commentator with Channel 38 in Boston, the Red Sox station. Now there was a job with appeal! He interviewed for the position on the day he turned 37, January 7, 1982. The audition went very well, and he was told he'd got the job. Tony had a couple of other stops to make, then planned to return to the Bay Area to pack up his gear for the move back to Boston.
On January 9, 1982, Billy Conigliaro was driving Tony to Logan Airport and Tony suffered a heart attack in the car. Though rushed to the hospital, Tony suffered irreversible brain damage and was hospitalized for two months before being discharged into the care of Billy and the Conigliaro family. He lived another eight years before succumbing at age 45 on February 24, 1990.

With over 100 new registrations per day of mostly spam bots it become too much time to moderate the forum and we wanted to put more time and energy into new projects. Thus, the forum was closed to new registrations.
I want to personally thank though all of our fantastic members who have been a part of the community since it was launched in 2007. It was a great run with many friendships made and hundreds of thousands of pageviews served. Thank you for our moderators and premium members taking the time to help moderate the forums.

The following tips and suggestions are designed to support an overall healthy lifestyle and a realistic weight loss plan so you maintain a healthy weight for the rest of your life.
On average, women require 2,000-2,100 calories per day to maintain their weight and men require 2,700-2,900. The solution to safely lose weight is to consume 500 calories less per day than you need to maintain your weight. Doing this, you can lose 1 pound per week since 1 pound of fat is equal to 3,500 calories.
Eat three small meals with one or two high protein snacks spread throughout the day. You'll maintain your energy levels without feeling starved. A more severe calorie reduction will lead to muscle breakdown, slowed metabolism, fatigue and quitting your diet early.
When it comes to maintaining your healthy weight over the long-term, most diets fail because any weight lost is typically followed by an equal or greater weight gain. This is because when you restrict calories, your body releases chemicals that trigger your appetite to increase. You can fight this for a while, but usually, it overpowers even the most determined dieter.
Tip: Eat 500 calories less per day than you would eat to maintain your weight and you can lose one pound per week.
To lose weight faster—up to two pounds per week—combine the reduction in caloric intake with an increase in caloric expenditure through exercise. By adding one hour of moderate to intense physical activity into your daily regimen, you can burn an extra 500 calories or more a day for an additional 3,500 calories less per week.
You can easily speed up your metabolic rate while you exercise by doing a simple cardio workout or lifting weights. Doing weight-bearing exercises not only increases your lean muscle mass but increases your resting metabolism as well since your body burns more calories to maintain a pound of muscle than a pound of fat.
If you work out in the morning, you receive added benefits, including increased energy throughout the day and increased metabolism (calorie burning) during waking hours. In addition, research shows that people who train earlier in the day tend to stick with their exercise program. Those who wait to work out later in the day can miss them due to daily distractions.
Tip: Add at least 30 minutes of morning exercise to your daily regimen to burn more fat.
Meal composition and timing can play a big role in your ability to burn body fat. Getting lean in a hurry is not only based on what you eat, but also when you eat it.
If you do your cardio in the morning, do it immediately upon waking. You burn the same amount of calories in the morning as in the evening for the same amount of work. However, research indicates that the percentage of fat calories burned during morning exercise, on an empty stomach, can be greater. A recent study showed that consuming 25 grams of whey or casein after an 8- to 10-hour fast) created higher energy expenditure and fat burning activity compared to fasting or 25 grams of carbs.
To maximize the benefits of cardio later in the day, you should time your meals and minimize simple carbohydrate consumption. Do cardio 30 minutes after your pre-workout meal. Your pre-workout meal should consist of protein and little to no carbs to maximize fat burning.
After your workout, if you delay eating any food for at least an hour, you keep your body in the fat burning mode. Then eat a relatively low glycemic meal.
Tip: To maximize fat burning, avoid eating carbohydrates for two hours before your workout and one hour after.
When it comes to shedding pounds, the amount of calories matters but so do the type of calories. While calorie impact has been controversial, several recent studies point to protein's convincing benefits on weight loss.
In one study, protein was increased from 15% to 30% of calories and fat reduced from 35% to 20% (carbs remained constant at 50%). The increase in protein was clearly associated with reduced appetite and fewer calories consumed, which ultimately led to significant weight loss.
In another study of dieters who lost 5-10% of their body weight, the weight regain was less in the high protein group compared to the normal protein group. The high protein group only gained back two pounds of the weight that was previously lost compared to seven pounds for the normal group. Not only was weight regain less in the high protein group, they also gained only muscle and not fat.
Protein also keeps your metabolism revved up. Several studies have shown protein to generate more heat than carbs and fat. This means calorie for calorie, more energy from protein is given off as heat and less is available for storage as fat.
On restricted calorie diets, rapid weight loss is usually a sign of muscle and water loss, not fat loss. When your body is starved, it will naturally burn other sources of energy, including muscle. Eating protein provides the amino acids your body needs to prevent the breakdown of your own muscle. Make sure you get 0.5-1 gram of protein daily per pound of ideal body weight.
Excellent protein sources include skinless chicken breasts, egg whites, nonfat dairy such as cottage cheese, low-fat fish such as tuna and a variety of protein powders such as whey, casein or soy. Mixing a serving of whey protein concentrate into water provides about 25 grams of protein, yet only 4 grams of carbs. The best part is, it only costs about 70-80 cents, making it more cost-effective than traditional protein foods.
Tip: Choose fast-digesting whey protein to burn more calories; use slow-digesting casein or milk protein isolate (containing casein) to help keep you feeling full longer.
Meal replacements include protein shakes, powders or bars that replace a normal meal. They are easy to use, require little if any preparation and most importantly, provide structure to the daily eating plan. Using meal replacements to assist in weight management has been examined in several studies.
In one study conducted over a 5-year period, overweight subjects who consumed a meal replacement shake lost about 10 pounds compared to others who gained 15 over the same time period, resulting in a 25-pound difference in weight between them. The value of meal replacements is the structure of having a prepared meal, which can provide the needed motivation to reduce calories and enhance weight loss.
Tip: Protein bars, shakes and meal replacements are perfect for breakfast, lunch or when you're rushed.
Carbohydrate-rich foods like potatoes, pasta and white rice are considered high glycemic foods. Each stimulates your body to release insulin, which turns excess carbohydrate into fat. Bodybuilders and endurance athletes like to stimulate an insulin release after a workout because insulin helps replenish their muscles with glycogen. But when dieting, you want to avoid insulin spikes.
To stop insulin surges or spikes, avoid simple or high glycemic carbohydrates. Shoot for 50-100 grams of carbohydrate per day, depending on your weight. Your goal is to burn all the carbohydrate from a single meal within a couple of hours. For the first few days of your diet, eat as few carbohydrate-rich foods as you can. After your first week, eat only low glycemic carbohydrates like lettuce or salad greens, grapefruit and apples, which don't stimulate rapid insulin production or fat storage.
Tip: Cut back on carbs or eat low glycemic carbs to control insulin.
Certain fats are essential for your body—you can't live without them. Essential fatty acids, or EFAs, help you feel full longer after meals because your stomach empties more slowly.
Flaxseed oil is an economical source of EFAs. It's great to add to protein shakes, salad dressings or other foods. Because of its mild flavor, many people take it straight from a spoon! Fish oils are also excellent sources of EFAs and come in convenient capsule form.
Another option is to take MCTs. Eating less can make you feel fatigued, and MCTs are a great source of energy when you need a boost.
Tip: Add flax oil to a low carb protein shake to help you feel full longer.
To make sure you stay fueled throughout the day, it's important to eat a high-protein, low-carb snack between meals. Low carb bars are ones that don't affect your blood sugar levels. Some of their carbs come from sugar alcohols like glycerine or maltitol. Low glycemic impact protein bars, ready-to-drink shakes and lower calorie protein powders make perfect snack options to give you that late-morning and mid-afternoon energy boost.
Tip: Eat only half of your favorite meal replacement or protein bar to re-fuel your body without adding too many extra calories.
The secret to healthy dieting is burning fat, not just losing weight. Thermogenic diet products, also known as "fat burners," are supplements used to temporarily increase metabolism and energy. The term "thermogenic" means "heat-creating" and refers to the general warming that takes place when metabolism increases. Thermogenic supplements can be especially useful for those transitioning from a sedentary lifestyle into a more physically active one. They are best used to provide an energy boost prior to your exercise session. They also help counteract the body's natural tendency to slow your metabolism when dieting.
Some examples of effective fat burners are ones that contain Sinetrol® Fruit Extracts, caffeine, green tea (standardized for at least 270 mg of EGCG per day) and/or yerba mate.
Green tea has been widely studied for its effect on weight loss, especially for its ability to increase metabolic rate and oxidize fat. In one study, green tea extract containing 150 mg of caffeine and 270 mg of EGCG was shown to increase the metabolic rate by 4% over a 24-hour period. This increase in energy expenditure equates to an additional 65-200 calories burned a day, which over a period of one month, equals about 0.6-1.7 pounds of fat loss—just from green tea alone!
Tip: Use a fat burner, preferably one that contains green tea, before workouts and meals.
It's difficult to get all the vitamins and minerals your body needs from food alone. A well-rounded multi-vitamin supports your fat loss or muscle building efforts and makes up for deficiencies in your diet when eating less food.
Tip: Use a multi-vitamin and mineral formula every day (minimum 2-per-day formula). Take with the largest meal of the day, preferably with one that includes some fat.
Losing fat is the goal. A reasonable and safe amount of fat loss is 1-2 pounds a week. Any more than that is probably not just fat loss, but muscle and water loss. Not only is your body weaker after losing muscle, but your metabolism slows.
The key to measuring how successful you've been at losing weight is not to worry too much about your actual weight, but to monitor how your clothes fit.
If you need to check your progress to keep motivated, use a tape measure to measure inches lost or a special scale that estimates body fat. Remember, don't just count the pounds!
Tip: Gauge your success by your waistline, not the scale.
When your diet becomes so restrictive that you can't go out to dinner, visit friends or enjoy a hotdog at a ball game, your chances of staying on the diet are very slim. Allow yourself one meal a week to eat any way you choose. Be flexible and reasonable with your diet program. Eating more calories one day a week may actually help your chances of success by preventing your metabolism from recalibrating to a lower setpoint.
Tip: When you splurge, use a carb and fat inhibitor to help minimize the damage a carb or fat-laden meal can do to your diet.
As with any new program, to ensure success, it's important to be consistent in your diet and workout routine. Find a friend to diet with to hold each other accountable. Before you know it, you'll see that your efforts are paying off.

First Look: Bellwether in Williamsburg
The space that Bellwether occupies has had a long, at times sordid history. For 150 years it's been a food and drink establishment, most recently home to the rowdy Royal Oak. And back in the day, when Williamsburg was the territory of heavy industry and hipsters were more akin to vagrants, it was yet another bar, the party scene of North Brooklyn, though disreputable enough in its own way.
But Williamsburg has matured, in a fashion—just ask the soaring modern condos across the street for confirmation—and the new Bellwether seeks to be a part of that transformation while still honoring the location's saturnalian past.
The Bellwether's owners, a family and friends team of Williamsburg locals that's also behind Anella and Calyer, sought to rescue the space's vintage charms and create a full-service restaurant where people can sit down to dinner like grown ups. The interior design and general vibe of the place are meant to inspire the dinner parties young people wish they could afford: "if you had more space and could have more fabulous parties, you'd have them here," says partner Christopher Zalla.
The menu leans Spanish in ingredients and vibrant preparations. It's dominated by light vegetables and plenty of seafood, augmented by a sizable raw bar. Stretches of North Williamsburg still echo undeveloped post-industrialism, but you wouldn't know it at the Bellwether as you sit down to the artfully and architecturally plated food by chef Andres Grundy. His influences—drawn from stints at Le Cirque, Aquavit, Boston's Clio, and other restaurants in New York, Paris, and Madrid—are clearly present in this very pretty, share-able menu: continental food with subtle modernist touches for a new generation of Brooklynites.
But at its core, nothing here is too fancy or too complicated. The owners aim to keep the menu accessible and easy-going, and more meat-and-potatoes dishes are apparently on their way. The aim, it seems, is to keep the food in step with the social verve of the space. Around midnight, the rear dining room transforms into a dance hall: tables fold away, a disco ball appears, and a DJ booth rocks a seriously impressive sound system that's drawn audiophiles from around the country. The restaurant's hours fit the vibe: it's open until 4 AM for dinner.
New developments are in store for the Bellwether. Brunch service has just begun and plans for outdoor seating are in the works. Check out the slideshow above for a look at some of the Bellwether's menu offerings.

Frustrated city councillors shut down arena talks with Oilers owner Daryl Katz Wednesday and are considering options that include building the project alone. "It seems (the Katz Group) want to keep...Comments ()
On the day National Hockey League commissioner Gary Bettman met face-to-face with the leadership of the NHL Players' Association and offered what he said was a 50-50 split of the league's $3.2-billion revenue pie, Edmonton Oilers owner Daryl Katz dispatched a two-page letter to Mayor Stephen Mandel restating his demands for a better deal on the proposed downtown arena. Rather than deign to appear at city council today — Mandel's deadline for the Katz Group to explain their latest demands — Katz archly informed the mayor: "My door is open if City Administration wishes to continue our discussions."
"Let's be frank, the only privately funded NHL arena (in Canada) that hasn't been a financial disaster is ACC (Air Canada Centre) in Toronto, where they have the Leafs and an NBA franchise. Everyone else lost their shirts. They lost their buildings and their teams." Daryl Katz, Sept. 17, 2012
The endlessly debated downtown arena project hasn't been a conventional business story for a long time. Which is why I haven't written about it for a year or more. This is all about gritty backroom politics, fan loyalties, cultural identity and civic pride, not business.
In the wake of a letter to Edmontonians from Oilers owner Daryl Katz, Mayor Stephen Mandel said team officials must now come to city hall and talk publicly about the new arena deal they want.

NEW YORK -- Wal-Mart is testing a same-day delivery service in select markets for customers who buy popular items online during the holiday shopping season.
The tests, which started this month, are taking place in northern Virginia, Philadelphia, Minneapolis and San Francisco and San Jose, Calif. About 5,000 items will be available for the same-day service.
The program follows Wal-Mart's launch in April 2010 of same-day grocery delivery in San Jose. That was also tested in San Francisco over the past year.
Wal-Mart Stores Inc., based in Bentonville, Ark., operates more than 4,000 stores in the U.S.
