Jennifer Lopez Stuns in Updated Take on GRAMMYs Dress for New Versace Campaign
At 50 years old, Jennifer Lopez always proves to us that she is always looking better than ever!
Entertainment Tonight reported that Versace released their new campaign over the weekend and Jennifer Lopez is on the cover. The singer announced the news on Instagram.
Lopez captioned the photo, "I am so excited I can finally reveal that I am the face of the #VersaceSS20 campaign! ✨ Thank you to @Donatella_Versace and everyone at @Versace for your vision and collaboration."
The "Hustlers" star in the photo is wearing looks from the brand's spring-summer 2020 runway collection.
The brand said that the campaign "depicts vanity and uncensored expression as a form of self-love."
"I am so proud Google Images was invented after Jennifer wore that dress. Today, we celebrate that moment that was possible thanks to this incredible woman!" Donatella Versace said in a statement, referring to Lopez's 2000 GRAMMYs dress.
Back in September, the singer walked the runway at Milan Fashion Week in a reimagined version of the iconic gown she wore at the 2000 GRAMMYs, and now, it's for sale to the general public.
Lopez previously revealed how her stylist tried to talk her out of wearing the original gown to the GRAMMYs because it had already been worn in public by both Donatella Versace and former Spice Girl Geri Halliwell.
Although the dress became a sensation and went on to inspire the creation of Google Image Search, Lopez didn't think it was scandalous in the least.

So 11-year-old Sebastien de la Cruz performed "The Star-Spangled Banner" last night before the NBA Finals game in San Antonio, and did a wonderful job. Alas, his performance brought the racist morons of the social media world out of their #tcot caves, and everybody got mad.
The reality is the outrage over the idiots calling this child a "spic," "beaner," "wetback," or "illegal" far outweighs everything said about him. Here's a few sites highlighting the racists and publicly shaming them. Give Twitter a quick search and you'll be overwhelmed by people shocked or outraged by this sort of thing:
Our own readers are sometimes no better. Here's some quick reactions to our story earlier today about the NFLPA producing a line of pride-related shirts.

There are sinister revelations of broken promises and policy decisions overturned in Spain. The government has announced an about-turn on its support - denying feed-in-tariffs already guaranteed - a reversal that will likely wipe out one of the largest, best-established wind sectors in the world. The country's energy and industry minister claims this decision is "hard but necessary". What he fails to explain is how a government can go back on its word and, in doing so, completely destroy foreign investor confidence in what has been a crucial industrial success story for Spain. If one government can renege in this way, will the industry fear a domino effect?
In the UK, the offshore sector has been pushed back, with the government again stalling on its commitment of support. While confirmation was expected on the support for larger project contracts, a policy change means the industry must wait until the end of the year for clarification. The effect on UK investment is sadly predictable — further delays and continued destabilisation of a young industry that had been expecting to receive endorsement from a government keen to reap the economic and environmental benefits.
The UK government did set out guaranteed prices for energy, but by applying different time periods for different energy sources implied that wind is similarly priced to nuclear. Yet, when factoring in the varying lengths of commitment, the figures reveal that wind is likely to be the cheaper option by some margin.
Unfortunately, mistruths like this can quickly become accepted facts, and it is a complex task to re-establish reality for those outside the industry seeking simple answers to how much wind energy actually costs.
One part of the cost of energy equation that is blighted by misinformation is back-up - with the fallacy being that it adds significantly to wind energy's cost. It does not. Our comprehensive article explains the truth, and offers realistic facts and figures that can be shared beyond the industry.
Encouraging signs
Despite the bleak policy revelations, it is encouraging to note that there are regions showing growth, and signs of an industry that continues to progress. While much of Europe languishes in the doldrums of the financial downturn, in Egypt, despite a more acute crisis, the energy minister is still in place and planned wind projects appear to be continuing. This is an industry that may yet develop, despite difficult times. US president Barack Obama, too, has pledged $7 million to increase access to electricity in Africa, which will involve growth in wind and other renewables.
The visual event of the month, while a major logistical headache, is also a positive story and one that clearly benefits from taking place during the quiet holiday period. Motorways in Denmark were closed to enable transportation of the world's longest blades some 170 kilometres across the country, en route to a pilot project in Scotland, where the 7MW Samsung turbine is being tested. Industry innovation and growth goes on.

PORTSMOUTH — Great Bay Community College was recently cited in an annual report conducted by Community College Week as being among the top 50 colleges with the highest enrollment increases in their category.
PORTSMOUTH — Great Bay Community College was recently cited in an annual report conducted by Community College Week as being among the top 50 colleges with the highest enrollment increases in their category.
The report provided an analysis of enrollment changes among community colleges across the nation between fall 2011 and fall 2012, the most recent years for which comparable national data was available. Great Bay was listed at number 24 among the "Top 50" institutions in percent change enrollment and number 2 among all two-year institutions in New England.
Data was collected by the U.S. Department of Education's National Center for Education Statistics through the Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System for the Community College Week ranking.
"We are extremely proud of the growth that is reflected by our ranking in the report," said Bruce Baker, vice president of Enrollment Services for Great Bay. "The fact that we continue to grow despite demographic trends in New England is significant, and is attributable to the many opportunities students can find here at Great Bay to build a strong future for themselves and their families."
By offering direct workforce training at a lower cost, community colleges have traditionally experienced growth during recessionary times as unemployed and underemployed workers sought to gain marketable skills. Baker said Great Bay saw this trend during the recent recession years, but credits its recent growth to a proliferation of transfer partnerships with colleges and universities including the University of New Hampshire, as well as to collaborations with industry that create economically relevant programs in fields such as advanced manufacturing, computer technologies and health care.
Baker said GBCC has grown significantly over the past 10 years.
"We now have two campuses, the newest one in Rochester, specifically designed in partnership with regional employers as an Advanced Technology and Academic Center that brings access to greater numbers of students," he said. "We offer credit and non-credit programs, workforce training and customized programs through our Business and Training Center and WorkReadyNH program, and we look forward to breaking ground on a new Student Success Center to enhance student leadership and career readiness programs. By continuing to react to the needs of our student population and the New Hampshire industry, Great Bay is positioned for growth and continued contributions to the economy and quality of life in the Seacoast region."

I do not like shutdown abort (see this post). I always use shutdown immediate and it always work… well almost always.
Today I discovered a 9iR2 new feature : shutdown timeout !
Shutdown Timeout
If all events blocking the shutdown do not occur within one hour, the shutdown operation aborts with the following message: ORA-01013: user requested cancel of current operation.
Ok, if and only if I am getting this ORA-1013, I shutdown abort, startup, shutdown immediate.
It is very unusual that a shutdown immediate does not terminate in 1 hour, and hard to reproduce. For this test case, I am doing a shutdown normal
1) make sure you have at least one other session open
2) shutdown normal
3) wait about 60 minutes (defined in _shutdown_completion_timeout_mins, not a supported parameter to change)
SQL> shutdown normal
ORA-01013: user requested cancel of current operation
Now we received a ORA-1013 (but I did not use CTRL-C). The instance is now half-stopped, most sessions and background processes like MMON, CJQ, SMCO are already dead and it is probably a good idea to restart it properly. Maybe with startup force and shutdown immediate.
SQL> startup force
ORACLE instance started.
Total System Global Area 1069252608 bytes
Fixed Size 2166160 bytes
Variable Size 658510448 bytes
Database Buffers 402653184 bytes
Redo Buffers 5922816 bytes
Database mounted.
Database opened.
SQL> shutdown immediate
Database closed.
Database dismounted.
ORACLE instance shut down.
This is all documented :
After ORA-01013 occurs, you must consider the instance to be in an unpredictable state…If subsequent SHUTDOWN commands continue to fail, you must submit a SHUTDOWN ABORT
I am extremly happy to have discovered this, because it will still allow a shutdown abort after one hour of shutdown immediate, which is an extremly rare case, but it is an enhancement for my backup scripts.

Brock Holt leads Red Sox over Orioles
BOSTON >> Two days into his second call-up of the season, Brock Holt was the center of attention in Boston's clubhouse.
Holt hit a tiebreaking triple in the seventh inning and scored on Jonathan Herrera's suicide squeeze, lifting the Red Sox over the Baltimore Orioles 4-2 on Saturday.
After the game, Holt did interviews in front of a large-screen TV in the middle of the locker room, a spot usually reserved for the game's star or starting pitcher.
"It's fun," Holt said.
On Friday, Holt went 2 for 4 and drove in a run during the series-opening loss to Baltimore.
"You want to go out and play well anytime you're out there," he said. "I've got these first two under my belt and had some success, hopefully I can continue to keep going out there."
David Ortiz had a solo homer and two hits for the World Series champion Red Sox, who have won three of four.
But it was Holt's hit that sparked the victory.
"He had been swinging the bat very well in Pawtucket. He was able to get on a little bit of roll," Boston manager John Farrell said. "What we've seen — I know it's only two games — is a little bit more authority, particularly on the pull side (of the plate)."
Holt came up for a day from Triple-A earlier this month, but didn't get into a game when regular third baseman Will Middlebrooks was placed on the 15-day disabled list with a strained right calf.
Nelson Cruz had a pair of run-scoring singles for the Orioles, who had a three-game winning streak halted.
Junichi Tazawa (1-0) pitched 1 1-3 hitless innings of relief. Koji Uehara struck out three after a leadoff walk for his fourth save.
The benches emptied briefly in the seventh after Bud Norris (0-2) threw high and tight to David Ross, who was trying to sacrifice. Ross yelled something, but Orioles catcher Matt Wieters stepped in between and both sides retreated to the dugouts.
"It's emotional. Ross is a good player — a good catcher and a pro," Orioles manager Buck Showalter said. "But I know Matt. He's not going to allow somebody to yell at his pitcher like that — especially when he doesn't have any reason to."
Norris didn't know why Ross was so upset, especially when he was giving up an at-bat to move a runner.
"I don't really understand where it's coming from, and his point of view," Norris said. "I'm trying to throw the ball over the plate and take the out because if you're giving it to me in a sac bunt situation, I want the out every time."
Baltimore benefited from a challenge that overturned a call at first on what would have been Cruz's inning-ending grounder in the sixth.
Holt tripled into the right-center field gap in the seventh after Mike Carp drew a leadoff walk from Norris. Herrara then dropped down a bunt fouling off on his first attempt.
Boston starter Felix Doubront retired 13 consecutive batters after giving up a run in the first before Nick Markakis opened the sixth with a single, but was erased when Delmon Young bounced into double play.
The Orioles then got runners on first and third when Cruz hit a grounder to deep third. Holt made a throw from near the foul line. Cruz was called out by first base umpire Ted Barrett. Showalter challenged his first call of the season and it was overturned after a 49-second wait.
Ortiz's homer hooked around the Pesky Pole and gave the Red Sox a 2-1 lead in the fourth.
Doubront pitched 6 2-3 innings, allowing two runs on five hits, striking out seven and walking two.
Cruz's RBI single made it 1-0 in the first.
Boston tied it in the bottom half when third baseman Jonathan Schoop misplayed a probable inning-ending, double-play grounder.
The Orioles, who set a major league record for fewest errors last season (54) and errorless games (119), have committed just four this season — all of them by a third baseman filling in for Gold Glove winner Manny Machado, who is recovering from offseason left knee surgery.
NOTES: Red Sox rookie SS Xander Bogaerts got the day off. "He's played in every game and after some long games and travel, he's being rested — and it gives us a chance to get another left-handed bat in there," Farrell said. Switch-hitting Herrera started at short. ... Boston OF Shane Victorino, on the 15-day since March 30 with a strained right hamstring, went 0 for 3 in his first rehab game at Triple-A Pawtucket on Saturday. The plan is for him play Monday and Tuesday before being reevaluated. ... Showalter said LHP Zach Britton was sick Friday night and not with the team, but he was back Saturday. ... Machado played his first extended spring training game in Sarasota, Fla. Showalter said he "played five innings and had four at-bats with no problems." ... Middlebrooks worked out on the field before the game.

Detwiler likely out for rest of homestand
WASHINGTON -- Nationals manager Davey Johnson said on Saturday that Ross Detwiler likely will not start a game on this homestand, as previously had been hoped. The left-hander threw an abbreviated bullpen session before Saturday night's game, but he is still dealing with a back strain.
"He's still not quite right, so he's going to have to wait a couple days and try to get up on the mound," Johnson said.
Detwiler threw 20-25 pitches on Saturday, but pitching coach Steve McCatty told Johnson that the southpaw was not getting full extension in his follow-through. Detwiler will need to throw a couple of bullpen sessions before heading out on a Minor League rehab assignment.
The back injury has lingered for most of Detwiler's season. He missed 24 games in May and June before returning briefly and making five starts. Then he aggravated the injury on July 3 and was placed back on the disabled list on July 7, retroactive to July 4.
General manager Mike Rizzo did not comment on the severity of Detwiler's injury, but Johnson said that he is concerned by the duration and persistence of the strain.
"I don't know. A lot of times it's needing to have an adjustment, but nothing so far has worked that great," Johnson said. "I'm sure that it is something we're concerned about and we're going to definitely not have him rush back out, push him. He's a gutty young man. He'd take the ball and go out there the way he is. We want him to have no discomfort. He's got too great a future."

Do you have any general thoughts about the 20th anniversary of the Macintosh?
All I can say is, I think the Mac reinvented the personal-computer industry in the eighties, and Microsoft copied it in the nineties -- and that's been a big success for them, too. We finally got out ahead again with Mac OS X, and I think you'll see Microsoft copying that in the future.
Can you draw any parallels between what Apple was doing in creating the Mac back in 1984 and what you're doing today with the iPod and iTunes?
I feel Apple's in a really wonderful, innovative stage right now, where we're innovating in a lot of areas. I mean, I think Mac OS X is huge. I think that you're seeing us, with the Power Mac G5, being the most powerful personal computer out there. And we've got a lot more where that came from. We've got the best portables out there. And we have the iPod and the iTunes Music Store. And we have our iLife applications. We declared that we thought the next big thing for the personal computer was the digital hub three years ago, right?
Right. And now you see Microsoft, HP, and the rest—
Oh, everybody's copying it now. And we're quite a ways ahead of everybody. So I think Apple has had a good hand in setting the direction for the whole industry now, again. And that's where we like to be.
Apple's coverage in the mass media tends to focus on iTunes and the iPod, and of course they run on Windows as well. But the bulk of Apple's business is the Mac. And the Mac is still a major part of where Apple is going in the future.
Of course.
Do you have any other thoughts about where your competitors are taking their strategies? For example, Windows Media PCs are computers attached to TV sets.
Well, we've always been very clear on that. We don't think that televisions and personal computers are going to merge. We think basically you watch television to turn your brain off, and you work on your computer when you want to turn your brain on.
Are there some complementary aspects to it?
Well, they want to link sometimes. Like, when you make a movie, you burn a DVD and you take it to your DVD player. Someday that could happen over AirPort, so you don't have to burn a DVD -- you can just watch it right off your computer on your television set. But most of these products that have said, "Let's combine the television and the computer!" have failed. All of them have failed.
I don't understand why you'd want to mouse around on your TV set.
The problem is, when you're using your computer you're a foot away from it, you know? When you're using your television you want to be ten feet away from it. So they're really different animals.
Over the years, the media and analysts have always focused on market share. But although Mac market share is relatively small, Apple is profitable and is making products that affect the entire industry.
Apple's market share is bigger than BMW's or Mercedes's or Porsche's in the automotive market. What's wrong with being BMW or Mercedes?
So you're very comfortable with Apple as it is today.
I think we're having fun. I think our customers really like our products. And we're always trying to do better. But I think we're leading the industry and we're having a good time.
...And Then
This essay by Steve Jobs originally appeared on page 135 of the premier issue of Macworld, in 1984. The Apple cofounder was one of numerous Apple employees to contribute to the first issue.
The people who are doing the work are the moving force behind the Macintosh. My job is to create a space for them, to clear out the rest of the organization and keep it at bay. I can't spend enough time here, unfortunately, because I have other responsibilities. But every spare moment I have, I dash back because this is the most fun place in the world.
This is the neatest group of people I've ever worked with. They're all exceptionally bright, but more importantly they share a quality about the way they look at life, which is that the journey is the reward. They really want to see this product out in the world. It's more important than their personal lives right now.
The Apple II had a magical feel about it. You couldn't quantify it, but you could tell. The Macintosh is the second thing in my life that's ever felt that way. Opportunities like this don't come along very often. You know somehow that it's the start of something great. So everyone wants it to be perfect and works really hard on it. Everyone feels a personal responsibility for the product.
The Macintosh is the future of Apple Computer. And it's being done by a bunch of people who are incredibly talented but who in most organizations would be working three levels below the impact of the decisions they're making in the organization. It's one of those things that you know won't last forever. The group might stay together maybe for one more iteration of the product, and then they'll go their separate ways. For a very special moment, all of us have come together to make this new product. We feel this may be the best thing we'll ever do with our lives.

Ewing sarcoma is a rare type of cancer. It's most common in children and teens between the ages 10 and 19. It usually grows in bone, but it can also grow in soft tissue that's connected to the bone. This may include tendons, ligaments, cartilage, or muscles.
Ewing sarcoma most often grows in:
Symptoms can occur a bit differently in each child. They can include:
The symptoms of Ewing sarcoma can be like other health conditions. Make sure your child sees a healthcare provider for a diagnosis.
Your child's healthcare provider will ask about your child's health history and symptoms. He or she will examine your child. Your child may be referred to a specialist. This may be a bone specialist (orthopedic surgeon) or a bone cancer specialist (orthopedic oncologist). Your child may have tests such as:
Part of diagnosing cancer is called staging. Staging checks the size and location of the main tumor, if it has spread, and where it has spread. Ewing sarcoma may be stage 1, 2, or 3 with sub-stages. Talk with your child's oncologist about your child's stage and what it means. Staging also helps to decide the treatment.
Treatment will depend on the stage and other factors. The cancer can be treated with any of the below:
With any cancer, how well a child is expected to recover (prognosis) varies. Keep in mind:
A child may have complications from the sarcoma or from treatment, such as:
A child with a Ewing sarcoma needs ongoing care. Your child will be seen by oncologists and other healthcare providers to treat any late effects of treatment and to watch for signs or symptoms of the tumor returning. Your child will be checked with imaging tests and other tests. And your child may see other healthcare providers for problems from the tumor or from treatment. Your child may need therapy to help with movement and muscle strength. This may be done by physical and occupational therapists.
You can help your child manage his or her treatment in many ways. For example:

Home Security in El Reno, Oklahoma
According to jsu.edu, each year there are over 2.2 million burglaries in the US, which means that every 15 seconds, a burglary is committed
Your Chances of Becoming a Victim of a Burglary in El Reno, OK
No one likes thinking about potentially becoming a victim of crime in Oklahoma, but every single day in the US a break-in happens every 4 seconds. It's easy to say "it won't happen to me" but 2.2 million families fall victim of burglaries each year in the US. Don't let your home in El Reno become part of those statistics. Installing a new home security system and along with monitoring from ADT your home could be protected and your family safer.
Homeowners Insurance
Did you know that ADT Home Security monitoring is so effective that many homeowners insurance providers offer discounts to policyholders with their security systems. By having an ADT-monitored security system installed in your home, you may be able to save on your homeowners insurance premiums. That's money back in your wallet!
24 Hours a day monitoring
ADT monitoring is a leader in monitored home security, but it also offers important services such as Emergency Alert Monitoring, Flood Monitoring, and Fire and Smoke Monitoring.
ADT 6-Month Money Back Guarantee
ADT is so confident in the quality of their monitoring services, that if your home is broken into while your system is armed, ADT will pay up to $500 of your homeowners insurance deductible (certain restrictions may apply).
Burglaries Cost More than You Think
Being the victim of a home burglary can be a very distressing experience. Stress may become compounded once the financial impact of a burglary becomes apparent. According to the FBI, burglary victims in 2011 faced, on average, nearly $2,200 in property loss. This number doesn't take into consideration additional expenses in the form of lost wages, insurance deductibles, and various other costs. Residents of some cities were victims of as many as 109101 property crimes and 27459 burglaries in 2011. Several of these burglaries could have been prevented had homeowners installed home security systems, which can deter potential intruders from breaking into a residence.
Why Oklahoma Homeowners Choose ADT Monitoring Systems
There are many different reasons Oklahoma residents choose ADT Security Monitoring to help protect their home & family from burglary and other disasters. But we thought we'd list just a few reasons for choosing SafeStreets USA and ADT.
Multiple types of protection. ADT monitored security systems not only help protect against burglaries and home invasion, but also helps against fire and even carbon monoxide poisoning. An alarm can help wake your family in case of smoke and fire. A panic button can also help contact police or fire department during an emergency, perhaps even saving your life.
Security equipment that's easy to use. With just a push of a button you can easily arm and disarm your system. And with the panic button your family can quickly alert emergency response such as police or the need of an ambulance.
Dependable equipment and confident monitoring your home security system is monitored 24 hours a day and 365 days per year by trained staff at the ready. ADT provides great redundancy with 6 US monitoring centers your home is never unprotected. If one center is down then another automatically starts monitoring your home.
Quick deployment of first responders. At any time your alarm is triggered or you push the panic button, ADT's monitoring centers will quickly try and verify your situation. If you are having an actual emergency ADT will immediately notify police or fire responders with your exact location and details.
Weather Tip: During a Hurricane
During a Hurricane
If your local authorities have not issued a mandatory evacuation, use these hurricane safety tips to stay safer in the midst of a hurricane.
- Keep up to date with conditions by staying tuned to the radio or television.
- DO NOT go outside until you hear from authorities that the storm has passed your area completely.
- Stay away from all windows and exterior doors.
- Leave your home only in extreme circumstances (i.e., if your home is damaged or if authorities instruct you to do so).
- If you lose power, avoid a power surge by turning off all major appliances.
- Electrocution is also a threat if using electrical equipment in your home, so stay away from anything with running electricity and do not use the telephone except in an emergency.
Post Hurricane Safety
What you do after the hurricane passes can be just as important as what you do before and during the storm. Here are a few tips for what to focus on afterwards:
- Stay informed of any updated instructions from local officials.
- Only return to your home when it's deemed safe.
- Avoid downed power lines and other dangerous debris.
- DO NOT attempt to walk or drive through floodwaters. It's easy to overestimate your ability to navigate floods, but it can be extremely life threatening.
- Take pictures of property damage to file an insurance claim.
- Try preventing further damage to your home as insurance may not cover anything that occurs after the storm.
Practicing good hurricane safety might seem daunting, but a mix of common sense and preparedness can make all the difference for the safety of you and your family.

Suppose $G$ is a connected reductive algebraic group over an arbitrary field $K$; let $Z$ be the center of $G$. The inner automorphisms of $G$ are given by $\operatorname{Inn}(G) = G / Z = G^{\operatorname{ad}}$. Set $\operatorname{Out}(G)$ to be the quotient $\operatorname{Aut}(G) / G^{\operatorname{ad}}.$ The forms of $G$ are parameterized by $\operatorname{H}^1(K, \operatorname{Aut}(G))$, and the inner forms are those in the image of
$$\operatorname{H}^1(K,G^{\operatorname{ad}}) \rightarrow \operatorname{H}^1(K,\operatorname{Aut}(G))$$ So we can recast the classification of inner forms of $G$ to:
What conditions can we put on $G$ to guarantee that the map $$\operatorname{H}^0(K,\operatorname{Aut}(G)) \rightarrow \operatorname{H}^0(K,\operatorname{Out}(G))$$ is surjective?
I'm primarily interested in the connected reductive case here, but I would be curious about the more general case as well.
On a related note, I've frequently seen the claim that for quasisimple $G$, the group $\operatorname{Out}(G)$ is given by the automorphism group of the Dynkin diagram of $G$. This holds for some reductive $G$ (such as $\operatorname{GL}_n$) and not others (most nontrivial tori will have a nontrivial outer automorphism group and a trivial dynkin diagram).
How can we extend the description of $\operatorname{Out}(G)$ from the case of quasi-simple $G$ to connected reductive $G$?

New England editorial roundup
The Republican American of Waterbury (Conn.), Nov. 8, 2012
In winning re-election against all logic and reason � President Obama's current term fell short of expectations on the very premises of economic recovery, an improved international climate and the restoration of a cooperative spirit in Washington, D.C., that he laid out as a candidate in 2008 � he is roughing out a more modest vision for his second term. "I have listened to you," he said in his victory speech Wednesday morning. "I have learned from you. And you've made me a better president."
Better. That's a far cry from the hope-and-change hyperbole of 2008, and a goal Obama actually could achieve � if he chooses not to play a new variation of the blame game that marred his first term.
How? For starters, he should listen to Sen. Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., the long-suffering Senate minority leader. "Now it's time for the president to propose solutions that actually have a chance of passing the Republican-controlled House of Representatives and a closely divided Senate ... .To the extent he wants to move to the political center, which is where the work gets done in a divided government, we'll be there to meet him half way."
Obama could try working with the Senate to pass a budget, a constitutional mandate it hasn't met in more than three years. He could shake up his liberal echo chamber by seeking perspective from the business community on taxes and regulations. If Obama's "better" presidency breeds a full economic recovery, as opposed to the stagnation of the last four years, he'll need to follow up with measures to exploit the economic gains by rolling back the massive, unprecedented debt his administration has piled onto the backs of future generations.
The $787 billion "stimulus" of 2009 did little to restore America's aging, decaying infrastructure, and much to preserve the jobs and perquisites of public employee union members. Future spending programs should be approached cautiously and probably are best left to the states; we don't need "bridges to nowhere," high-speed railways with no beginning or end, or busway boondoggles. If no federal money � borrowed from China � is available, the states will spend wisely.
A "better" president will embrace entitlement reform and provide leadership, rather than dismissing dissenting proposals as tantamount to "pushing Granny over the cliff." A "better" president will support pro-democratic struggles like Iran's Green Revolution, and support Israel with more enthusiasm than Obama has demonstrated since taking office in 2009. A "better" president will demand, and secure, the respect of the leaders of rival nations such as China and Russia.
It seems improbable the second Obama term will achieve such lofty goals, or even make the attempt. It's more likely the president will try to pave the way for durable Democratic dominance by allowing gridlock to persist � and blaming it on the Republican House, just as he persisted in blaming the Republican Bush administration for the failures of his first term.
If that tactic works; if voters allow themselves to be convinced the real problem is GOP obstructionism and return the House to the Democrats in the 2014 midterm election, the last two years of the Obama administration will be a bonanza for the far left. There will be no stopping the extreme regulatory agenda of Lisa Jackson, administrator of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, and the National Labor Relations Board will give Big Labor everything it wants, to the detriment of businesses and working people alike.
And that's why House Republicans, the last bulwark against the leftist Obama agenda, must be wary of every attempt to paint them as the obstructionist "Party of No." Rather, they need to articulate principled reasons for saying no, and just as clearly explain the degree of Democratic moderation that would persuade them to say yes.
The Hartford (Conn.) Courant, Nov. 8, 2012
Those who read and savored the first two volumes of William Manchester's biography of Winston Churchill, "The Last Lion," have reason to go on living. Manchester is no longer with us, but Volume 3, at long last, is.
Devotees know that Volume 2 ends in 1940, just short of Churchill's finest hours. But as The New York Times Magazine recently reported, turning out the third volume proved a bridge too far for Manchester, well known in the state as the late writer in residence at Wesleyan University.
In the mid-1980s, the once-prolific author ("Death of a President," ''American Caesar," etc.) began to suffer from writer's block. The machinery showed to a crawl. He published Volume 2 in 1988 and then had great difficulty getting the next part off the ground. Over the next several years, Manchester lost his wife and developed health problems. It became obvious that if there was going to be a third part, Manchester would need a co-writer.
Though some well-known writers were considered, the job ended up with a Florida newspaperman named Paul Reid. But then Manchester died in 2004, shortly after they became partners, leaving Reid on his own. He had never written a book before. He could not decipher Manchester's notes.
Reid persevered, guided by a skilled editor named Bill Phillips. The project took seven years. Reid went through his advance, his savings and his and his wife's 401(k) accounts. He kept going because he knew if he didn't, it wouldn't get done. Happy ending: The third volume of "The Last Lion," subtitled "Defender of the Realm, 1940-1965," is done, it is arriving in bookstores and it's getting strong early reviews.
Good for you, Mr. Reid.

Elena Jones: Assistant Registrar/Registration Assistant, Department of Prehistory & Europe at the British Museum.
Today I am sitting down in an ancient and threadbare office swivel chair at my bubble-wrap and acid free tissue covered desk. I am in a British Museum office – away from the main Bloomsbury site – that has been little changed, by my reckoning, for 25 years or so.
To fill you in on what I do, my current work here is on the same project it has been Monday to Thursday for over a year now. It involves the registration of an archaeological assemblage from an excavation of the Etton Landscape in Norfolk (if you want to know more see http://www.eaareports.org.uk No.109, 2005: Archaeology and Environment of the Etton Landscape, by Charles French and Francis Pryor ISBN 0 9520616 2 7).
This site, of late Neolithic and Bronze Age features has delivered to us, in the department of Prehistory & Europe, a large assemblage of flint implements, pottery sherds, animal bone and human remains. It has been my privilege (and my job!) to sort, identify, photograph and document the finds, working from the finds themselves and the site publication.
All this, often very repetitive work, eventually culminates in a well-organised collection of objects properly housed in long-term storage and marked with a unique registration number which refers to a detailed online digital record which can be found on the British Museum website
But back to today! and this snap shot into the world of museum Registration. I am 'registering' the last of ten Etton Bronze-Age human burials. I have a particular interest in human remains and as such I take my time to carefully identify, side (is it from the left or the right side of body?) and individually bag each bone of this skeleton. The burial in question is of a young male with relatively good preservation and no apparent health problems. It is quite common for me to come across the bony growths, spurs and polished surfaces of an individual with arthritis or the carious legions on the teeth that tell me this person probably had tooth ache. Moreover, after working with so many burials from numerous sites you soon come to appreciate the splendid variations in the dimensions of people's facial bones. Beetle brows, high cheek bones and prominent chins are all in the mix!
The burials from this particular site are taking a little longer than one might expect because, although they have been given a burial number, many of the bone fragments have also been assigned an individual field number. This means that I must transcribe the full site details onto the new bag for each of these pieces of bone rather than just noting down the burial number.
After accurately transcribing the site details from the original, and now rather ropey, finds bags I group bones and fragments within larger bags and label them with general skeletal parts such as "pelvis", "ribs", "skull" or "right foot". I hope that when someone- probably a student- comes to study this individual, my careful bagging and labelling will speed up their task and reduce any possible confusion. To those of us who work in registration and documentation it is always essential that things are well ordered, accurate and above all, make sense.
Throughout this packing process I keep a detailed list, for the database description, of the various pieces of bone I come across and the proportions that have survived. I also use a visual method of recording the burial and colour in, on a schematised drawing of a skeleton, the portions of each bone we have, annotating the number of fragments or loose teeth and any oddities or pathology. Finally, the burial and this skeleton sheet are carefully packed into archival boxes, with bubble wrap and acid-free tissue for protection, which are marked in permanent marker with their individual registration number and the number of boxes for that particular number.
It will be a very satisfying day when the last of this Etton Landscape material is marked and placed in its cabinet or on to its shelf, the table is stripped of its cushioning bubble wrap and I begin to consider how to tackle the next- and there always is a 'next'!- dusty unregistered archaeological assemblage. Any day now!

"Beyond Belief: Twintuition, The Miracle Mysteries, Battle with the Devil, Psychic Power and Near Death Experiences
ABC News' 13-week primetime summer series, "Nightline Prime," premieres WEDNESDAY, JUNE 22, with a five-part investigation into the realm of the extra-sensory, the spiritual and the experiences many call "beyond belief."
"Sometimes the most interesting trips are the ones that take you places you never thought you'd go. These are mysteries in the most profound sense," says "Nightline" executive producer Jeanmarie Condon. "Stories that defy proof and perception are the ultimate adventure - and perfect for summer - to kick off our 13 specials."
The five installments of "Beyond Belief" begin airing Wednesday, June 22 (10:00-11:00 p.m., ET) and continue on the four subsequent Wednesdays (through July 20):
Wednesday, June 22: Juju Chang investigates "Twintuition," the special connection between twins that allows some siblings to share a language, know what the other is thinking, or share physical sensations across distances. If twins can communicate on a level that defies spacial and time constraints, what does that mean for the rest of us?
Wednesday, June 29: "Nightline" co-anchor Bill Weir journeys from Nazareth and Rwanda to Spain, Bosnia and across the U.S. to explore "The Miracle Mysteries." These destinations have become pilgrimage sites for people who believe profoundly that the Virgin Mary has appeared to and communicated with ordinary people.
Wednesday, July 6: "Nightline" co-anchor Terry Moran takes a closer look at the "Battle with the Devil," a resurgent belief that satanic will or demon possession causes acts of evil. Can a real-life killer get away with the "demon defense" for murder?
Wednesday, July 13: Juju Chang and others unravel the power of the 21st century psychic. "Psychic Power" features a medium to the stars, psychic addicts who can't make a decision without consulting a clairvoyant, and people who believe their pets are psychic.
Wednesday, July 20: Bob Woodruff unlocks the mysteries of what he remembers in the terrible minutes after his vehicle hit an improvised explosive device and he saw his body floating below in a kind of whiteness. He speaks with others who report the same type of out-of-body experience and with theologians, preachers, neurologists, psychologists and anthropologists for "The Other Side."
"Nightline's" summer series builds on the success of a four-part exploration of the mystery and the science of the brain that aired in primetime last year. ABC News' "Nightline" is anchored by Cynthia McFadden, Terry Moran and Bill Weir. John Donvan and Juju Chang are correspondents. Jeanmarie Condon is the Executive Producer. The program airs weeknights at 11:35 p.m., ET on ABC.

ATLANTA (AP) After about two years of discussions, the Atlanta Falcons are a step closer to getting a new downtown stadium.
The state agency that owns the 20-year-old Georgia Dome on Monday approved the framework for a deal with the Falcons to build a roughly $1 billion stadium with a retractable roof. There are still several key steps ahead, including exactly how much the government will have to contribute and where it will be built.
The deal calls for the Falcons to pay about 70 percent of the total cost, and the government will pay for the rest with a hotel tax. The Fulton County Commission and the city of Atlanta still must approve using the revenue from the tax to build the new stadium. Mayor Kasim Reed has thrown his support behind the deal.
Under the proposal, the Falcons will run the facility and the Georgia World Congress Center Authority, a state agency, will own it. The Falcons will agree not to relocate and pay $2.5 million in rent annually. The franchise gets to keep revenue generated from parking and operations.
The new stadium expects to have a seating capacity of between 66,000 and 72,000 and be completed in 2017. The proposal also calls for demolishing the Georgia Dome, which is also owned by the authority.
The Georgia Dome hosted artistic gymnastics and basketball during the 1996 Olympic Games as well as NCAA basketball tournament games, soccer matches and rock concerts. The 1994 and 2000 Super Bowls were played there, and it will host the NCAA Final Four in April.
Rich McKay, CEO of the Atlanta Falcons, said the franchise would explore plans to relocate within Atlanta or the metro area if the deal is not approved by local leaders.
``We would probably go back and look at a solution that involves an outdoor stadium somewhere else. That would not be our desire, and we don't anticipate that,'' McKay said, ``We've really put our eggs in this basket.''
According to NFL.com, the Georgia Dome is the 10th-oldest out of the league's 32 stadiums.
``I think this stadium should be iconic unto itself, and should put Atlanta in a position where we can attract any event that we desire to attract,'' McKay said.
Frank Poe, executive director of the authority, said the agency has no contingency plan if city and county officials assail the proposal.
Officials also need to decide whether the new stadium would be built on property north of the Georgia Dome, or on a lot south of the 71,250-seat arena. Poe said land costs, potential traffic congestion and the projected impacts on nearby neighborhoods will likely factor into that decision.
Falcons coach Mike Smith and his players have paid little attention to the stadium negotiations. The team is 11-2 and already has clinched a playoff spot by winning the NFC South.
``I don't concern myself with the stadium,'' Smith said. ``I know that's something that's way down the timeline.''
Offensive tackle Tyson Clabo chuckled when asked about it.
``Let me tell you a little secret about this new stadium,'' the 31-year-old Clabo said. ``I'm going to be long gone by the time we play there.''
William Perry, of Georgia Common Cause, a nonprofit, non-partisan citizen advocacy group, said the public has not been given enough opportunity to weigh in.
``It just seems like there needs to be more dialogue about what the public wants in this whole deal,'' Perry said. ``It just gives the appearance that this thing is sailing through like a rubber stamp.''
His organization has not taken a position on the proposal.

Bokor National Park, CambodiaKirsty Turner
One of the most enchanting destinations in the whole of Cambodia, Bokor National Park is a great place to explore. A large number of well-worn trails lead through the jungle here, and those who book a guided tour will have the chance to spy a wide range of wildlife including tigers and elephants, while swimming in the cool, clear water provided by the park's waterfalls is the perfect way to cool down.
One of the best things about Bokor National Park, which was established in 1993, is that it is possible to travel here on a daytrip from the popular destinations of Kampot and Sihanoukville. The park covers an area of just over 1,500 square kilometres and is officially known as Preah Monivong National Park. This area of protected land is covered with dense forest and is particularly popular with birdwatchers, who come for the chance to spot a wide variety of our fine feathered friends.
In addition to birds such as the green peafowl, hornbills and the rare chestnut-headed partridge, the park is also home to animals such as red muntjac deer, sun bears, leopards and the pretty pileated gibbon. Other highlights of the park include the French hill station, an enchanting jungle church and the simply stunning Popokvil Falls.
As with most areas of Cambodia that are located outside of towns and cities, it is best to hire a guide when exploring Bokor National Park, as there is a chance that unexploded landmines could be hidden beneath the overgrowth. Local guides know the area well as will be able to ensure that their charges stick to areas that have been thoroughly swept for landmines.
Nothing can compete with the magic of spending the night in Bokor National Park and waking at dawn to the sound of the birds in the trees and the call of other animals as they awaken. Located within the park is the Bokor Palace Hotel, which offers clean and comfortable rooms as well as amenities such as a good restaurant and casino. However, rooms here tend to be a little pricy, and those who are on a tight budget may prefer to spend the night in the Ranger's Station instead.

Now is an excellent time to remodel your kitchen. With summer about to start, the economy starting to pick up, now is the perfect time to start planning the kitchen project. Kitchens are one of the most used spaces in the home, the "heart of the home"; used for homework, dinner parties, and coffee breaks. How we use them plays a role in how we update them.
Before you begin your kitchen remodel project, ask yourself some questions:
- What do you want from the kitchen remodeling project? What is your budget in both time and money?
- To determine the scope of work think about the following:
- How many people work in the kitchen regularly?
- What condition are your cabinets in behind the old paint or ugly knobs and pulls?
- What is your cooking style?
- Who uses the kitchen and what do they do there?
- How important is easy cleanup?
- If you could splurge on one luxury, what would it be?
When deciding to begin the project, remember that your home is still your biggest investment. And you want to have the highest return possible on that investment, especially if are selling sometime in the near future.
Fortunately a kitchen remodeling project is something that recaptures nearly 100% return if you stay within the maximum 15% of the home's current market value.
The entire kitchen project (including cabinets, appliances, countertops, flooring, lighting) should cost no less than 5% and no more than 15% of the current value of your home with approximately 50% of the total cost allocated for kitchen cabinets if you are buying new.
If you go through this exercise and determine that you either don't have a large budget, or you don't need to redesign the layout of the kitchen, contact Cabinetry by Kenneth C. Lewis.

STATE COLLEGE - As training camp nears, as well as his second season on the sidelines, coach Bill O'Brien believes Penn State is headed in the right direction amid NCAA-imposed sanctions.
O'Brien addressed the media on Friday, joined by Penn State athletic director Dave Joyner, on a conference call to discuss the Nittany Lions' first-ever international game - in Dublin, Ireland - on Aug. 30, 2014 against Central Florida.
But the tenor of the call quickly turned toward the bigger picture, as O'Brien continues to navigate through tough waters. Penn State faces four years of scholarship reductions and no postseason bowls because of the Jerry Sandusky child abuse scandal.
'I understand exactly why the sanctions are in place,' O'Brien said. 'It's about putting an end to child abuse and I get that.'
After losing to Ohio and Virginia to open the season, the Nittany Lions rallied to go 8-4 last year, including a 6-2 mark in the Big Ten.
The Nittany Lions will meet the Knights to open the next season in Ireland. Central Florida went 10-4 last season.
'We don't have a lot of interaction with our players in the summertime based on the NCAA rules where we really can't meet with them at all about football,' O'Brien said. 'But from what I gauge is our players are very excited about going over there to Ireland and that experience.'
The upcoming season begins Aug. 31 against Syracuse at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J.
'I've been asked many, many questions over the last 19 months about the sanctions,' O'Brien said. 'I think we're pulling in the same direction. I just try to make sure people know what is best for the Penn State football program.'
O'Brien last week responded to an invitation from the university's Board of Trustees to offer his opinions about working within the framework of the NCAA penalties.
'I just want to do what's right for these kids,' he said, 'and this football program.'
O'Brien believes the university is working 'very, very diligently to stay in compliance.'
'And I hope at some point in time the NCAA, the governing body of college athletics, hopefully they look at that and they can meet us halfway,' he said. 'We're doing our part.'
Joyner said the Penn State athletic department is 'not planning on anything happening,' as far as the NCAA is concerned.
'We've been getting good marks for what we've done,' he said, 'and we're going to continue to focus on that.'
Joyner also called the Ireland trip 'a really good idea' for the university as well as its athletes and fan base.
'It falls in the middle of everything that we need to get done during this four-year period (of sanctions),' Joyner said. 'It's kind of a shot in the arm and gives our players a chance to experience some things.'
NOTES Penn State announced Thursday that defensive end Brad Bars, a 6-foot-3, 251-pound redshirt junior from Nashville, Tenn., ruptured his Achilles tendon during a workout earlier this week and will miss the upcoming season. Bars was expected to see playing time behind projected starters C.J. Olaniyan and Deion Barnes. . Quarterback Tyler Ferguson is at home in California because his mother is ill. He'll return for training camp in early August, O'Brien said.

We're fairly new here and we're having a blast exploring Arizona. We've found a state overflowing with great scenery, incredible plants and animals, and impressive history. The Grand Canyon is only one of Arizona's amazing sights!
We offer a fresh look at Arizona, traveling to its state and national parks, touring its roads, looking at its scenery, wandering its cities and towns, and learning about the culture and people of Arizona.
Arizona is the land of the Ponderosa pine tree as well as the ocotillo and the prickly pear. There's 12,000 feet of difference between the low point and the highest place in the state. There are Joshua trees on the west side of the state and black bears on the east.
History starts with the geologic record and comes into human scale with the tribes who lived in Arizona for 10,000 years before Arizona became a state. Railroads and cars followed the Spanish Conquistadors and the U.S. cavalry across the land.
We're continuing to explore Arizona, and, of course, we're taking pictures all along the way.
Check out the different areas, take a look at our pictures, see what you think. Arizona is a lot more than the Grand Canyon and a bunch of cacti.

Scientists: Novel TB drug combo passes first test
WASHINGTON -- Scientists are hot on the trail of a new tuberculosis treatment that a small study suggests might one day offer an alternative to battle this deadly lung disease, even if it's resistant to today's two main drugs.
There haven't been new medications to treat TB in four decades. But the experimental three-drug combination, revealed Monday at the International AIDS Conference, is one of a list of promising compounds under intense testing around the world.
"We are cautiously optimistic that we are at the dawn of a new era for TB drugs," Dr. Diane Havlir of the University of California, San Francisco, who is co-chairing the meeting, told The Associated Press. She wasn't involved with the new research.
TB is one of the world's oldest killers, and every year it claims the lives of more than 1.5 million people, mostly in developing countries. It's also the leading killer of people with AIDS.
Standard first-line treatment requires taking four medications for six months. A frightening factor is that the bacteria that cause TB are fast becoming impervious to the two main drugs in that cocktail. The World Health Organization estimates there are more than 650,000 cases of multidrug-resistant TB a year. Treating drug-resistant TB can take more than two years, if it works at all.
Enter the new drug research.
Scientists in South Africa divided 85 newly diagnosed TB patients to take a variety of combinations of standard or experimental TB drugs,
Fifteen of the patients received a unique trio that emerged as the study's focus: An experimental antibiotic code-named PA-824, along with the pneumonia drug moxifloxacin and an older TB drug, pyrazinamide.
In a two-week test, the drug trio killed at least as much of the TB bacteria that patients coughed up as today's standard four-drug therapy, and possibly worked a bit faster, said Dr. Mel Spigelam of the nonprofit TB Alliance, the Global Alliance for TB Drug Development.
That doesn't mean patients were cured in two weeks, stressed lead researcher Dr. Andreas Diacon of South Africa's Stellenbosch University. It takes longer to get the last TB bugs lurking deep in the lungs -- the reason that TB therapy must be taken for months -- but a two-week test is a standard first step in drug development.
It is noteworthy that the experimental combination doesn't include either of the two standard TB drugs -- isoniazid and rifampicin -- that today cause most problems of drug resistance. If additional research proves the drug trio really works, it could offer a much-needed alternative for multidrug-resistant TB as well, Spigelman said. Plus, it might be helpful for HIV patients who have trouble with today's TB treatments interacting badly with their anti-AIDS medicines.
A larger study has begun in South Africa, Tanzania and Brazil that will test how patients fare over two months. Monday's study, funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and other groups, also was reported in the journal Lancet.
As important, the study showed a new way to research TB treatments that scientists hope will cut years off the lengthy process, said Mario Raviglione of the World Health Organization. Today, possible new drugs are tested simply by adding them onto standard treatment rather the TB Alliance approach of testing novel combinations from the beginning.
A few other promising TB drugs are further along in the pipeline. Johnson & Johnson recently filed for U.S. approval of its bedaquiline, which it hopes will become the first medicine specifically designated to treat multidrug-resistant TB. In a late-stage study this fall, the company will test whether it can shorten therapy time for those especially hard-to-treat patients. And Otsuka Pharmaceutical Co. is studying its own drug, named delamanid.

That's a $130 ticket for $24, a $110 ticket for $14 and a $45 ticket for $4, but the sale ends Monday morning at 9 a.m.
Oh, and you can watch the fireworks show from the outfield grass, as always.
For tickets, visit this link and use the promo code July4
We know a lot of people make their Independence Day weekend plans in advance, so this sale comes a few weeks before the actual game. Hope to see many of you at Dodger Stadium to celebrate on July 4.

Thanks for the new thread, Josh.
I'm hoping we can win today and get a split for our road trip. I'm hopful too, that Rubby won't get the Coors Field bombardment. Put a decent lineup out there, Donnie to give us a fighting chance.
Great advance ticket sale. Obviously Frank is trying to raise money for the payroll.
Resist the giveaway, fans! EMPTY SEATS is what we need this coming week, and maybe Frank can be sunk before Independence Day. Wouldn't an Independence Day from Frank be Great!
Have to admit, sounds pretty desperate doesn't it bear?
Hell of a promotion. He must be very desperate. C'mon fans, boycott. We've got him on the ropes. Hope Judge Gordon delivers the knockout blow on the 22nd. Go Away Frank.
Here is todays lineup:
Carroll, ss
Miles, 2b
Dre, rf
Matt, cf
Loweeney, 1b
Ughribe, 3b
Barajas, c
Oeljen, lf
Rubby, p
I have a feeling it's going to be a Dre Day 😉
Go Rubby!!!
LOL….Carroll & Miles….the Midget Militia!
Rats crap! lol
LOL!! Rodent Feces!!!
Welcome to Coors Field, Rubby!
I love Rubby, and he'll have his day, but let him have it after Frank and Ned are GONE.
In the meantime, BOYCOTT!
As for Independence Day, go to the beach.
Loweeney & Uribe a hit…..did hell just freeze over?!
lol that doesn't cut it I wanted HR's from those 2.
Good afternoon, taking a commercial break from the NASCAR race. I wanted to repost something from late last night.
Remember when I posted our 9th inning pitching stats? Remember how horrible it was? Let's update it. This time, let's compare it to the rest of the NL.
League average .244/.319/.359/.678
Wow. Ugly with a capital UG. Of course, it wouldn't be fair to compare it to the AL with the DH. Ah, let's look anyway, just to make ourselves feel good about the team Ned's put together. You know, the one that the owner likes so much.
Oops. Wow again. Not just worst. Astoundingly worse. The only team over .300 in batting average against. The only team over .400 in On Base Percentage. The only team to reach .500 in Slugging Percentage. The only team over .900 in On Base Plus Slugging Percentage.
Putting this horror aside for a moment, it isn't really surprising that the NL has 4 of the top 5 teams in this catagory. No DH, lower stats, right? But the NL also has 9 of the worst 11.
Hi'Ya Dad!! Thanks!! Pretty amazing(and pathetic numbers)!! We're not just bad. We're bad by a wide margin. I guess we need a real closer.
I want to see the 7th and 8th numbers.
Geez tru, your avatars are going downhill. Just sayin'……..
( 🙂 )
That's more like it!! Whew!!
LOL…….have to change….I'm beginning to itch 😉
Ahhh….fresh air!
Let's get some runs, boys!
Holy shit…….James…a grand salami!
That could move him over the Phew line.
Holy Shit!! Loweeney GS!! WTG James!!!
So, is this Blessed Feces?!
Totally!! A freaking miracle!!!
Who the hell are these guys?!
Yeah love 2 out rally.
lol Did Loney hit a GS? I think espn and yahoo are wrong.
He sure did, Shad!
Rox defense (or lack thereof) opened the door, and Loney made a grand entrance.
Go figure Carroll and Miles is 0/2 and Loney and Uribe is 2/2.
Loney was like 43 7 2 0 1 5 3 8 0 1 .163 .234 .279 .513
In Loney 59 career homeruns that was his 12th against the Rockies.
Holy crap Tommy Hanson the Braves SP have 14 k's in 7 innings and I guess Liriano lost his prefect game/shutout..
Nice pitching, Rubby.
lol IBB and a WP at the same time? That seem so rare and glad he got out of his own mess.
Whew! Kemp continues to tear it up!
Loving it!
I guess no manager give a crap about ibb Kemp on purpose with no out or leading off.
lol Loney and Uribe seem to be back to normal now.
Yeah Barajas
Lil nubber….Vinny 😉
Come on Loney make them pay again.
Well dang I knew Loney could get another hit with risp.
oops couldn't
Sure hope that whatever is wrong with Rubby is very minor.
I sure hope they get Rubby's finger fixed. Sounds like a nerve issue. The last thing this team needs is another pitcher going on the DL. . .
Great! You're right…we don't need another pitcher on the DL (at least, not Rubby!)
Ruh Roh! Tron-toasto!
Even worse – Andre's out in another of Mattingly's dumb moves. Cranio-rectal inversion decision indeed.
Exactly what I was thinking! Donnie makes a lot of those damn decisions.
I don't care whther Dre is hitting or not, at Coors, you need his defense and arm!
I have a feeling he will regret this – mightily.
It was only the 6th inning! No reason to take Dre out!
Sigh hope he's ok and let's go Troncoso.
Well it look like is Redding time to be up than lol
Wow Gwynn surely is a good bunter and I hope Gordon was watching.
I hate teams helping us with those errors.
It's a great opportunity to score, and at this point, I think the team is grateful to have them.
Heh, heh, heh… Don't look a gift horse in the mouth. This team needs all the help it can get.
Look at them as if they are gifts. . .Sometimes they need all the help they can get.
I don't mind Troncoso get an AB's here just hope he don't give the some of those runs back.
Dang I wrote that wrong but you guys know what I mean?
On a non-baseball note, I want to nominate trublu4ever for the Anthony Weiner Award in internet communication skills.
I second the nomination!!
Good grief glad for those extra runs.
Whew – good catch Tronco! Sure was lucky there.
Screw you DONNIE……..and F*ck you NED!
Told you taking Dre out in the 6th BIG MISTAKE! Who the hell are you going to use if you need a pinch hitter!
Navarro!!! LMAO!!!
Let freedom ring!!!
Unf*ckingbelievable! Same shit every day!
Ooh, ooh, that smell, the pile is a steamin'….
It's getting ridiculous. This team needs a new script writer that improves the bullpen because it's obvious the coaching sure ain't doing it.
That's my standard reply when asked how I'm doing….S.S.D.D!! LOL
Same shit, different day!
Love it!
So, this is the crap Frankie wants you to spend your hard earned money on,..,,yea, right…stay home you fools!
The Rockies should play there home game some where else.
Oh my God, I've turned into Bear! 😉
That might be a good thing lol.
Wow – we may have to cue the Loney song again.
What is this Uribe and Loney is still hitting?
What is this Uribe and Loney is still hitting? How many HR's have Barajas hit with runners on bases?
Troncoso had good career numbers vs Colorado and MacDougal career numbers are horrible vs them.
Is it me or does MacDougal pitch well with no runners on bases?
See….Dre would have been up now!
I can't wait to here Donny interview on taking Ethier out of the game earlier.
Donnie is an idiot!
Damn TG got caught.
A 3 run lead might not be enough.
I agree!
Wow…2 up, 2 down!
Uh, oh….now to get the 3rd out…that's the problem
Damn it fudge.
I hate ball that goes deep especially from someone name Cargo.
It's never easy, is it?
Still looking for that elusive third out.
"And of course… this game couldn't possibly end without the tying run at the plate." – Vin Scully, 45 seconds ago.
Never a dull bottom of the 9th at Coors.
Wonderful…Elbert has to get the third out. I don't know how much longer I can take this BP implosion….day after day!
Woo_Hoo, Loney passes Phew!!
Phew 259/324/304/628
Loney 253/303/335/638
Thank God…it's finally over!
Finally – we split, hallelujah!
Dang I trust Hawksworth but gosh Coors is sill a joke.
Well, a .500 road trip is better than I expected!
Hope they do better on the homestand. . .
We should've had been 3-1 and how many different Dodgers relievers recorded at least 1 save this season? I really wanted Hawkworth to get one.
lol these nba final are good and just had a scuffle.
WTG Mavs Kidd and Dirk deserve it and Marion for knocking out the Lakers when he was a Suns players 2 years in a rows.
So, does James get rid if his Loweeny title the next 24 hours?
Yes!! And I hope its for more than 24 hours. By the way, Uribum is below the Phew line.
Phew 259/324/304/628
Uribum 224/291/327/618
That doesn't surprise me about Uribe, and I hope James can get himself out of the Loweeny title for good
Yep for now but I didn't even realize Uribe had a stole bases to.
• RHP Rubby De La Rosa(notes) left Sunday's game with a cramp in his right forearm that led to a cramp in his pointer finger. The Dodgers don't think it's serious and he should be able to make his next start. If he can't, the Dodgers have an off day Thursday, so they could skip him, and not need a fifth starter again until a week from Tuesday.
• LHP Ted Lilly(notes) collected his first hit and stolen base of the season (on a head-first dive) in the third inning Saturday. In the fifth, with two runners on base and nobody out, No. 8 hitter Tony Gwynn Jr.(notes) attempted a sacrifice bunt. No, they weren't suddenly bunting to set up Lilly, who had snapped an 0-for-41 hitting streak with his single. Third-base coach Tim Wallach came down to talk with Gwynn, who missed a sign. Gwynn then swung away and flied out. Lilly allowed a run in five innings, and picked up the victory to even his record at 5-5.
• 3B Casey Blake (pinched nerve in neck) was out of the starting lineup the past two days. Blake came off the bench and delivered a three-run double Saturday in the fifth inning, and he grounded out as a pinch hitter Sunday. He was hurt while fielding a bunt in the fifth inning Friday, and he noticed he didn't have much range of motion when in the batter's box his next at-bat.
• RHP Kenley Jansen(notes) (right shoulder inflammation) pitched two clean innings for Class AA Chattanooga in a rehab outing Saturday, striking out two. Jansen faced nine hitters in two games, retired them all, and struck out five. Jansen is eligible to be activated from the disabled list Monday, but the Dodgers would prefer giving him another two-inning rehab game. It will depend on how much the bullpen is used Sunday.
• LHP Hong-Chih Kuo(notes) struck out all three batters he faced Saturday for Class A Rancho Cucamonga in his second rehab outing as he tries to fight back from an anxiety disorder that put him on the disabled list. Kuo retired six of seven batters in two games.
• C Hector Gimenez(notes) was activated from the 60-day disabled list, cleared waivers, was outrighted and accepted an assignment to Class AA Chattanooga. Including his rehab games for Chattanooga, Gimenez was hitting .353/.450/.588 after six games.
• INF Aaron Miles drew a walk in the sixth inning Saturday, his first in 119 plate appearances, dating back to April 27. With a four-hit night, it raised his average to .301, but his on-base percentage is just .314 because of the infrequent walks.
By The Numbers: 23—Rows cleared by CF Matt Kemp in his pinch-hit home run June 10 at Coors Field. Kemp's home run cleared all 23 rows of the left-field seats, took one bounce, and quickly skipped into the Rockies players' parking lot. The ball was estimated to travel 458 feet, going 111.4 mph off the bat at a 31-degree angle.
Oh heavy sigh. Very sad and frustrating day. Another 3 weeks of waiting. Most people still believe Frank will be gone eventually and Bud is just being compliant with the Bankruptcy court to further get his case in order. I really don't know if I can continue to invest my time and heart into the Dodgers if McBroke is allowed to remain as the owner. I think if he does remain as the Dodger owner, once Kemp, Ethier, and Kersh are gone, I will be also.
Nothing new to us. We all knew we were in deep poop!
Yep!! Well Frank said early on that his financial plan was to cut player payroll and increase revenue by raising ticket, concession, and parking prices. Well, he managed to do that except for Ned wasting so much money on Manny, Andruw, Phew, Schidt, etc… Also, that he thinks this is a very, very good team and if money was no issue, these are the type of players he would want and be happy with. It is very clear that if Frank keeps the team, the Dodgers will continue to decline and will not be relevent again in my lifetime.
This process could be a long & painfull one. Prolonging the fans suffering stinks. I was hoping this mess would be cleared up by the all star break. McCrook just can't get out of this picture fast enough for me. .:-(
I hope the hit parade continues for Lilly tonight.
Sure seemed like the whole team had to vent off alot of steam last night exploding for all those hits & runs. Maybe playing home at the ravine is a sad distraction these days.
Hi'Ya VL. He can't be gone soon enough for me. I was hoping for today.
The fans will NOT support the team if Frank keeps control. If we all think the attendance is way down now, just wait and see what will happen if McCrook keeps this team.
I agree Trumom. If he keeps the team and continues to run it like he has, the attendance will continue to decline rapidly.
At first I didn't think the fans would stay away but, they are changing their tune now….thank goodness!
Looks like Frank will still be in the picture when the next homestand comes around. You're so right about the attendance dropping. I have a feeling it will be DRASTIC! Fans are fed up, and should stay away.
Got the radio broadcast on. Where's Charlie?
Who cares. LOL!!
It is refreshing not having to listen to his futile attempts at humor. . 🙂
I'm watching the feed out of Minnesota. You should be glad you're not listening to Charlie 😉
Ugh….Lilly looks like he is throwing batting practice!
Yep, he's looking more like Lilly Munster than a major league pitcher.
LMAO….Lilly Munster!
Childhood memories. I always enjoyed the Munsters show. Addams Family was funny too. Grandpa & Uncle Fester were great!
Way to go Casey! Geez!!!!
Casey looks terrible out there too!
It just is not in Frank McCourt's nature to give up. This bankruptcy filing did not come out of thin air; he had to be working on this for quite some time to get the financing deal in place. It is refreshing to read MLB's response trashing the McCourt's in plain English and in a public forum. Let the battle begin.
Whoever those guys were who played last night decided to not show up tonight so far . . . .
New thread gang.
