Alex Rodriguez Homers for 3,000th Career Hit
When Derek Jeter homered for his 3,000th career hit, the moment was magical. When Alex Rodriguez did the same on Friday night, the moment was controversial. The fans cheered, they acknowledged the historic moment, but there was a lingering feeling that things just weren't the same.
Although Rodriguez has played in 63 games since returning from a season long performance enhancing drug suspension in 2014, the air around A-Rod is still rather bad. The majority of baseball fans have vowed to never get over his PED use and don't see the milestone as much to celebrate. While I agree to an extent, A-Rod's 3,000th hit is still something to stop and think about for a moment.
After all, only 28 other players in the history of Major League Baseball have ever recorded 3,000 or more hits in their careers — 28 out of over 18,000 players. In addition, Mike Schmidt and Derek Jeter are the only other players to record their 3,000th hits on a home run. So the hit by A-Rod shouldn't be completely overlooked.
But at the same time, the moment won't ever be seen in the same light as it should have been if A-Rod had remained clean. Rodriguez is creeping up towards 700 home runs, and is one of only five players to record 3,000+ hits and 500+ homers, joining Hank Aaron, Willie Mays, Eddie Murray and Rafael Palmeiro. He's one of the all-time greats. Rodriguez should be getting celebrations around baseball, but instead he's getting booed by many of the fans everywhere he goes.
And rightfully so. I don't agree that a player who recorded 3,000 hits clean and one who used PED's throughout their career should be looked at in the same light, even if it is a remarkably rare achievement. But, thankfully, it shouldn't be too long before we get the chance to wholeheartedly celebrate a player reaching 3,000 career hits: Ichiro Suzuki, who is just 114 hits away.
Who I'd Like to See In the 2014 Home Run Derby
Due to the fact that the 2014 Major League Baseball All-Star ballots are asking fans to once again vote for who they'd like to see participate in the home run derby (unfortunately, the votes are only a poll, and don't actually count towards anything), it hasn't yet been announced who the derby captains will be, as it had been by now each of the past several years. And therefore, not knowing when it will be revealed, I didn't want to wait until then to give my take on who I'd most like to see in the derby, along with my reasoning for each pick.
While there are some players that I left off, for one reason or another, I feel the players I selected would make for a great 2014 home run derby, as they all have to ability to hit a good amount of home runs as well as doing so for big power. With the 2014 home run derby now around three weeks away, here are the players I'd most enjoy seeing take part:
American League
Nelson Cruz: One of the game's most underrated power hitters, Nelson Cruz would be a fantastic pick for the home run derby next month. Currently leading all of Major League Baseball in home runs, Cruz would likely make it deep into the derby, possibly even reaching the final round. His ability to hit home runs seemingly at will and the overall power he possesses would make things very interesting in the derby.
Edwin Encarnacion: After breaking out back in 2012, hitting 42 home runs that season, Edwin Encarnacion has been in a groove ever since. Going on an absolute tear in May, Encarnacion has cooled down a bit as of late, but he would definitely thrive in a home run derby atmosphere. Though Target Field isn't necessarily a hitter's park, Encarnacion could easily make it one.
Jose Abreu: Although Jose Abreu is a rookie, he's already done more than enough to prove that he belongs at the big league level. Coming over from Cuba to the White Sox, Abreu set a rookie record for home runs in his first month, and despite a minor setback due to an injury, Abreu hasn't let up. If Abreu is in the derby, along with his phenom status and incredible power, he will be someone to watch closely.
Yoenis Cespedes: Winning the home run derby last season, Yoenis Cespedes is somewhat overlooked, playing for the Athletics, but he's truly a major power threat every time he steps to the plate. Although I don't feel he will win two years in a row, especially if the other players on my list are going up against him, Cespedes could very well surprise me, as he did in 2013.
National League
Giancarlo Stanton: If Giancarlo Stanton is one of the sluggers in the 2014 derby, I truly don't think any other hitter stands even a slight chance. The guy is simply amazing, with arguably the most power in all of baseball. When Stanton hits a home run — which is often for him — you immediately know it's gone. Stanton would put on an unbelievable show in the derby in a few weeks.
Evan Gattis: The true definition of a natural power hitter, Evan Gattis has raw power and can absolutely crush a ball when he squares it up. Although he likely wouldn't make it terribly deep, with the immense talent that's in the derby each year, he would hit his share of amazing blasts. Gattis isn't necessarily a top pick for the derby, but I'd love to see him participate, just to see what he can do.
Carlos Gomez: While some of Carlos Gomez's on field antics have rubbed people the wrong way, it's a fact that he's super-talented. Gomez isn't a guy who hits an extremely high amount of home runs each year, but put in an environment where the only goal is to hit a homer, I think Gomez would do well. Given the underlying power that he has, Gomez might actually make it deep into the derby.
Yasiel Puig: As with Carlos Gomez, not everyone appreciates the flair that Yasiel Puig shows on a daily basis, but he's undeniably one of the most exciting young players on the big league level today. Coming up as a rookie from Cuba in 2013, Puig helped to turn around a struggling Dodgers team, and I feel he'd put on a show in the derby (as long as he doesn't do a bat flip after every home run).
So, those are my picks for who I'd like to see in the 2014 home run derby, up at Target Field, on July 14th. Odds are that not all of them will be selected, but I truly hoped the majority of them are in the derby. Do you agree or disagree with my picks? Who would you like to see participate? Leave your thoughts in the comment section below.
Should A Bat Flip Warrant A Flip Out?
Carlos Gomez is in the news once again, and once again it's not on a high note.
If you recall back to September 25th of last season, Gomez, after blasting a homer against the Braves and admiring it as it soared into the seats, had a few choice words for Freddie Freeman and Chris Johnson as he rounded the bases. Brian McCann, the Braves' catcher at the time, didn't approve of Gomez's actions and blocked his path to home plate, causing both Gomez and McCann to flare up and both benches to clear.
On Sunday afternoon, it was deja vu for Gomez.
While it involved the Pirates this time instead of the Braves, Gomez launched what he thought was a home run and proceeded to flip his bat before jogging down towards first. The ball didn't have as much behind it as originally thought, however, causing it to hit off the top of the wall and roll away from the centerfielder, Andrew McCutchen. With his speed, Gomez still wound up at third base, where pitcher Gerrit Cole, who was backing up the base, let his feelings be known regarding Gomez's jog.
Gomez didn't like what was said by Cole, causing him to flip out, having to be withheld by the umpire from charging Cole. While Cole's exact words aren't known (if they were, I'm certain I couldn't publish them here), he claims to have said nothing more than "if you're going to hit a home run, you can watch it. If you're going to hit a fly ball to center field, don't watch it." That, however, was apparently enough to create an all-out brawl:
Due to their involvement in the altercation, Martin Maldonado (arguably the player who had the most involvement, punching Travis Snider square in the face) received a five game suspension, with Gomez getting three, Travis Snider having two sit out two, and Russell Martin being forced to be benched for a game. (All received undisclosed fines.)
As happens with most fights on the field, one side has their own opinion to what happened and who was at fault, with the other side having just the opposite to say. Gomez remains adamant that he did nothing wrong, saying, "I'm not apologizing for nothing I did. This is my job; I've been doing it for eight years like that. They know I play like that. It's not to disrespect nobody." But not everyone agrees with that.
What it comes down to is your definition of what "showing up" the opposing team means.
In this particular instance with Gomez, I feel this is in fact the way he plays, and therefore it shouldn't have caused such a big fuss. Gomez is well known for his playing style, and the bat flip should've been expected from him. However, with that said, Gomez is, in my mind, the one to blame for the fight. Sure, if Cole hadn't said anything to Gomez, all would've been well. But Cole was just letting his thoughts be known. He has the same right to show emotion as Gomez does.
Carlos Gomez is a great player, and like some players, it takes a mentality such as his to succeed at the big league level, and therefore I'm not saying he's a bad guy or that he needs to tone down his antics. I enjoy his "celebrations", as some have coined them, and don't really want them to stop, as that's who he is. However, he needs to realize that with his bat flips and slow trots comes trash talk from the opposing team, and he can't let that get the better of him.
It's all just part of the game.
Home Run Milestones that Should Occur In 2014
Below you'll find a list of the home run milestones that *should* occur in 2014. I say should because there's no guarantee that any given player on the list will reach the milestone; they could get injured, have a bad season, or whatever. I've made the same type of list the past two seasons, and they have been well-received, so I figured I'd post another one for this season.
You can't be a pitcher. Although there are some pitchers that can hit home runs, you won't find any on my list. Reason being is that they're not everyday players.
You have to have hit at least one home run in the major leagues. There are several dozen players going into 2014 that haven't hit an MLB home run, but adding them to the below list just didn't make sense.
You have to be closing in on an even milestone, like 100, 200, 300, etc. I didn't include anyone that's a few homers away from number 50, 75, 125, etc. It just didn't seem necessary.
The list is organized by player name, team, milestone they're going for, and how many home runs they are from that particular milestone:
2014 Home Run Milestones
Ryan Doumit, Braves — Home Run Number 100 (1 home run away)
Dustin Pedroia, Red Sox — Home Run Number 100 (1 home run away)
Colby Rasmus, Blue Jays — Home Run Number 100 (2 home runs away)
Mark Trumbo, Diamondbacks — Home Run Number 100 (5 home runs away)
Brian Roberts, Yankees — Home Run Number 100 (8 home runs away)
Geovany Soto, Rangers — Home Run Number 100 (9 home runs away)
Pablo Sandoval, Giants — Home Run Number 100 (10 home runs away)
Yadier Molina, Cardinals — Home Run Number 100 (11 home runs away)
Matt Wieters, Orioles — Home Run Number 100 (13 home runs away)
Pedro Alvarez, Pirates — Home Run Number 100 (14 home runs away)
James Loney, Rays — Home Run Number 100 (14 home runs away)
David Murphy, Indians — Home Run Number 100 (14 home runs away)
Jimmy Rollins, Phillies — Home Run Number 200 (1 home run away)
Edwin Encarnacion, Blue Jays — Home Run Number 200 (5 home runs away)
Josh Hamilton, Angels — Home Run Number 200 (18 home runs away)
Josh Willingham, Twins — Home Run Number 200 (19 home runs away)
Ryan Zimmerman, Nationals — Home Run Number 200 (21 home runs away)
Hanley Ramirez, Dodgers — Home Run Number 200 (22 home runs away)
Brian McCann, Yankees — Home Run Number 200 (24 home runs away)
Prince Fielder, Rangers — Home Run Number 300 (15 home runs away)
Adrian Beltre, Rangers — Home Run Number 400 (24 home runs away)
Miguel Cabrera, Tigers — Home Run Number 400 (35 home runs away)
Albert Pujols, Angels –Home Run Number 500 (8 home runs away)
Stanton Heating Up: Still Bound For A Subpar Season?
After failing to hit a home run in his first 17 games of the season, Giancarlo Stanton has started to heat up lately, as he's blasted (and I do mean blasted) three home runs in his past two games. But while this is certainly great for both Stanton and the Marlins, you have to question whether it will actually play out over the remainder of the season.
If Stanton continues to tear it up at the plate, it's likely he'll find himself getting walked more and more, as there's really no one in the Marlins' lineup that can hurt a team as much as Stanton.
If Stanton can't swing the bat, he can't hit home runs.
Taking a look at Stanton's stats so far this season, the additional walks are already taking place. Having only been walked 46 times last year, in which he hit 37 homers, Stanton is on pace to reach base via walk 78 times; that's going off him playing 123 games like last year.
Assuming Stanton stays healthy for most of the season, resulting in more games played, it's not all that hard to imagine him getting walked over 100 times. If he still continues to rake, perhaps even more than that.
So where does that leave Giancarlo Stanton?
The absolute best thing that can happen to Stanton is for him to get traded. A big blockbuster trade would be beneficial to both Stanton, helping him to somewhat salvage what's sure to be a non-Stanton season, as well as the Marlins, gaining them some key pieces that will help them win more games down the road.
Stanton alone, while he's an incredibly talented player, isn't going to win the Marlins games. Maybe a few, here and there, but not enough to affect the outcome of a season. They need more than just one guy.
Therefore, sitting just four home runs shy of the 100th for his career, while Giancarlo Stanton will undoubtedly reach the milestone sometime within the next week or two, I see it being the last milestone he'll achieve in a Marlins uniform.

Transfer of Labour Time on the World Market: Religious Sanctions and Economic Results
Department of Philosophy, Classics, History of Art and Ideas, University of Oslo, PO Box 1020, Blindern, Oslo 0315, Norway

AbstractThis paper investigates the extent to which a term like "globalization", especially in its sense of implying the existence of a system, or of dominant features favouring development towards some system, is adaptable to a theory of a world economy which is to take due notice of the structure of the exchange value of commodities on the world market. A leading idea is that religious outlooks, in the way they were conceptualized by Karl Marx, have a strong bearing upon the difference in labour intensities in countries contributing to the world market, and thereby upon the differences in international values and prices. These differences are expressed in a scale-based, rigid structure on the world market itself—a structure which gives us the fundamental reason why certain specific countries or areas may get steadily poorer in relative terms, while others may constantly get relatively richer through the same mechanism. Consequently, when (as it is done here) religion is taken to express the quintessence of the cultural level of societies, it can be said that the comparative study of religions gives us a key to the understanding of crucial economic differences between nations. The differences in question are primarily those prevailing between capitalist societies on the one hand, and non-capitalist, or what is here called patrimonial societies, on the other.
Keywords: world market; labour intensity; "unequal exchange"; international exchange of labour time; outsluicing of labour time

Dunedin has jumped up the leaderboard in the Gigatown
Dunedin moved from 11th to second place, behind Wanaka, on
Thursday following a video competition on Instagram which was
not subject to the competition's usual population-adjusted
points allocation.
More than 950 5- to 15-second Dunedin videos were posted
online in the competition, more than half of them by two
people involved in running the Gigatown Dunedin campaign,
campaign organiser Josh Jenkins, of the Dunedin Digital
Office, said.
Wanaka, Dunedin and Queenstown now lead the race to become
the first southern hemisphere town with full access to one
gigabit per second (1Gbs) internet connection speeds. Oamaru
is placed seventh.
Proponents have said a 1Gbs network, allowing data to be
moved more efficiently all over the world, would make Dunedin
an attractive proposition for investors interested in health
technologies, education and learning, niche manufacturing and
design technologies.
It would give start-ups, software companies and developers a
reason to choose Dunedin.
Mr Jenkins said people in Dunedin could already connect into
the 1Gbs infrastructure, but winning would make it cheaper
for that town, putting it about three years ahead of others
in the southern hemisphere in terms of available internet
connection speeds.
Connecting to a 1Gbs internet service presently cost about
$2000 in Dunedin, but Chorus had him it expected people in
the winning town would connect to the 1Gbs network via the
yet-to-be-chosen internet service provider for between $70
and $100 per month, Mr Jenkins said.
The winning town would also get a $200,000 development fund
to support entrepreneurs and innovators taking new services
over Gigabit fibre to market.
Mr Jenkins said towns received points for showing their
support for Gigatown online through social media, although
the point system had been frustrating.
Dunedin needed more people to comment about Gigatown than
smaller towns did to get the same points, so had to work a
lot harder at reaching people.
''Getting over the apathy of Dunedin has also been a bit of a
Ratepayers are contributing $61,500 towards Mr Jenkins'
salary to run Dunedin's Gigatown campaign.
City councillors recently questioned the contribution, asking
whether it might have been better spent on other things, such
as helping connect some businesses to the 1Gbs network
Digital Office general manager Stuart Dillon-Roberts said it
was believed the benefit of having 1Gbs to everyone was
greater. The office was also using the campaign as a way of
educating people about broadband.
''If we get businesses thinking about getting more connected
then it's every penny well spent.''
Deputy mayor Chris Staynes said the $61,500 commitment was a
decision of previous council chief executive Paul Orders ''in
his belief [1Gbs] would be a game-changer for Dunedin''.
The funding was allocated from the Dunedin Economic
Development Strategy projects budget.
The competition runs until September, after which the top
five towns will battle it out.

It is known from clinical studies that some patients attempt to cope with the symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) by using recreational drugs. This review presents a case report of a 19-year-old male patient with a spectrum of severe PTSD symptoms, such as intense flashbacks, panic attacks, and self-mutilation, who discovered that some of his major symptoms were dramatically reduced by smoking cannabis resin. The major part of this review is concerned with the clinical and preclinical neurobiological evidence in order to offer a potential explanation of these effects on symptom reduction in PTSD. This review shows that recent studies provided supporting evidence that PTSD patients may be able to cope with their symptoms by using cannabis products. Cannabis may dampen the strength or emotional impact of traumatic memories through synergistic mechanisms that might make it easier for people with PTSD to rest or sleep and to feel less anxious and less involved with flashback memories. The presence of endocannabinoid signalling systems within stress-sensitive nuclei of the hypothalamus, as well as upstream limbic structures (amygdala), point to the significance of this system for the regulation of neuroendocrine and behavioural responses to stress. Evidence is increasingly accumulating that cannabinoids might play a role in fear extinction and antidepressive effects. It is concluded that further studies are warranted in order to evaluate the therapeutic potential of cannabinoids in PTSD. Copyright © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Fans of girl/girl and solo will enjoy it.
How can you possibly refer to all of the girls in this effort as lipstick lesbians if more than half of the scenes are solo? Solo does not necessarily equal Lesbian. Less solo and more girl/girl to better qualify the title for viewers could have possibly bumped the rating an extra "A".
Many of the scenes would normally result in this being a gonzo product, as half of the segments include verbal and eye contact and interview interaction with the cameraman. The rest are straight girl/girl fondling, most frequently with no "happy ending," and overdubbed with music and no vocals.
Enough griping. Breanne has a fabulous solo; she gets herself off with a dildo while reading a copy of Gucciones' former publication. Brittney Skye and Kaylynn take to one another like a round peg going into a round hole. The parts with Alaura Eden/Mari Possa and Kelle Marie /Adriana Sage are squeaky-clean and elegant. Danni Woodward's solo is fine but too carefully orchestrated exhibition.

MONTGOMERY, Ala. -- A Montgomery-based legal organization is alleging widespread physical and sexual abuse at three of Alabama's prisons for men.
The Equal Justice Initiative says it has uncovered dozens of cases of corrections officers abusing men at the Elmore Correctional Facility in Elmore; Bibb Correctional Facility in Brent and; Donaldson prison near Bessemer.
The group says the abuse is similar to cases it previously discovered at the state's lone prison for women.
The report says at times groups of male officers have forced men to perform sex acts and threatened them with retaliation if they reported it.
The chairman of the legislative prison oversight committee, state Sen. Cam Ward of Alabaster, tells the Montgomery Advertiser the allegations are "inexcusable."
Prison Commissioner Kim Thomas says the department is reviewing the complaints.

The Hawk and the Dove
Paul Nitze, George Kennan, and the History of the Cold War
Nicholas Thompson
Henry Holt, $27.50, 416 pp.
The Hawk and the Dove is a composite biography told through the story of Paul Nitze's and George Kennan's divergent stances on U.S. policy during the Cold War. Each man was a significant figure in the development of policy toward the Soviet Union: Kennan, the diplomat, from 1933, when he was posted to the U.S. embassy in Moscow; Nitze, the military and strategic planner, from the end of World War II in 1945.
The narrative is shaped by the conviction of author Nicholas Thompson (Nitze's grandson) that the two men, who were State Department colleagues in the Truman administration, remained friends over the years in spite of their vigorous disagreements. Each fiercely opposed the other's position on policy toward the Soviets. Nitze favored confrontation, Kennan containment. The author argues that their views represented polar opposites on U.S.-Soviet relations from 1948, when the Cold War broke out in full force, until 1989, when the Soviet Union finally collapsed. Hence the title, The Hawk (Nitze) and the Dove (Kennan).

Special to Page 2
Week 4 is all but over and the NFL season is at the quarter mark, meaning it's time to make outlandish predictions for the rest of the season based on a very small sample size.
In honor of that tradition, I am going on record with the Houston Texans as my Super Bowl pick. Just look at the evidence.
One, yesterday they took it to the mighty Miami Dolphins -- the thinking man's preseason Super Bowl favorite. And as everyone knows: Once you knock off the best, you are the best.
Two, defensive end Mario Williams registered 1½ sacks yesterday. Extrapolated out over an entire 16 game season, that's 24 sacks, which would obliterate Michael Strahan's single-season NFL record. So clearly Williams is a force that cannot be contained.
And three, there's the Houston offense piloted by quarterback David Carr, who leads the NFL with a 108.9 quarterback rating. As hard as it is to register that fact in your brain, it's nothing like trying to imagine how awesome the Houston offense must be if they had absolutely no use for Reggie Bush. That one actually makes my head hurt.
So there you have it. The Houston Texans, your Super Bowl XLI champions.
Headlines ...
Bill Clinton criticized for not doing enough to stop yesterday's unwatchable Bills-Vikings game
Terrell Owens situation clearly a big distraction to the Titans' secondary
Chris Henry vomits out of car window after watching the Bengals play the Patriots
Nick Lachey, like, totally going to pick up Matt Leinart off of his fantasy league's waiver wire
Chargers happy no one can say they have a cupcake schedule anymore
Albert Haynesworth kindly kills spider that was crawling on opponent's face
Terrell Owens avoids crossing routes against Titans to prove he doesn't have a death wish
Dolphins looking like they'll probably get crushed by the NFC representative in the Super Bowl
Twelve Things I Thought I Thought While Learning Tom Brady's Body as a Second Language...
1. As bad as it was to watch Titans defensive tackle Albert Haynesworth freak out and repeatedly stomp on the helmetless face of Cowboys center Andre Gurode, it made me think how lucky we are that there isn't a steroids problem in the NFL. Just think how much worse an incident like that could be if a player would suddenly lose control and flip out due to 'roid rage. Fortunately, though, something like that could never occur in the NFL.
2. Having spent much of the weekend watching football games coached by members of the Bill Parcells "coaching tree" -- Parcells himself, Charlie Weis, Bill Belichick, Eric Mangini, et cetera -- I have to wonder when the tree will fall to the ground under its own weight. No tree branches are strong enough to hold up all of that girth. So please, dear readers, keep your children from playing near the Parcells tree. It may look like it is composed of soft, almost gooey wood, but when it comes crashing down from the heights its ego has taken it, only pain and injury can result.
3. In just his second game this season since coming out of retirement, Atlanta kicker Morten Andersen tied a career high Sunday with five field goals. He could have had six, but the Falcons had Michael Koenen kick a 51-yarder in the second quarter. Supposedly Koenen kicked it because an attempt of that length is out of Andersen's range, but I think it's more likely Andersen didn't kick from that distance because the exertion it requires to kick a 51-yard field goal could cause a rather embarrassing accident in the 46-year-old's pants.
4. Speaking of Andersen, Bob Costas had some interesting "six degrees of separation" trivia on the kicker Sunday night during NBC's pregame show. Costas traced Andersen back to Red Grange in just five degrees of separation, starting with the Saints in 1982, when Andersen played with Kenny Stabler. Stabler played with George Blanda, who played with Sid Luckman, who played with Bronko Nagurski, who played with Grange. Inspired by Costas, I tried to link Andersen to some other football greats -- and I think I did him better in just five steps. On the '82 Saints Andersen played with George Rogers, who played with Art Monk on the '87 Redskins, who played with Charlie Garner on the '95 Eagles, who played with Ike Reese on the '98 Eagles, who played with Morten Andersen on the 2006 Saints. Yes, the Morten Andersen -- the legendary kicker who is second on the NFL's all-time scoring list. Pretty amazing, huh?
5. As good as the Ravens-Chargers game was Sunday, we were all cheated out of a more memorable matchup because San Diego wasn't at full strength. Starting strong safety Terrence Kiel was arrested on felony drug charges last week and wasn't in the lineup -- which is a shame, because I would have loved to see Kiel put a big hit on Ravens running back Jamal Lewis in the open field. Would a collision between the two have kicked up a giant cloud of white powder? Would money have been exchanged? Cell phone numbers? Sadly, we -- and federal drug agents -- will never know.
6. The acquisition of a huge, space-filling defensive tackle has made a huge difference in the performance of Ravens linebacker Ray Lewis' -- just as he said it would when he told the Ravens to get such a player in the offseason. With No. 1 pick Haloti Ngata clogging up the middle, Lewis is now the first player to jump on an already felled ballcarrier and then dance and shimmy and claim the tackle as his own, whereas last year he was only the second or third player to jump on a pile. That's a noticeable difference.
7. As much potential as Reggie Bush has, it's tough to make the case that his first four games in the NFL have been anything more than pedestrian. On Sunday he had 11 rushes for 22 yards (with a long of five yards), four receptions for 48 yards, one fumble and two punt returns for minus-one yard. And on the season he is averaging just 3.3 yards per carry, is without a rush longer than 18 yards and has yet to score a touchdown. Not that impressive, to say the least. Sure, he has tons of potential, but as the famous "Pulp Fiction" line goes: "Let's not start giving each other houses yet." (Or at least I think that's how the line goes. I saw only the network TV version of the movie.)
8. During the broadcast of Sunday's Bengals-Patriots game, longtime Cincinnati lineman Willie Anderson was pictured holding a shovel in the Bengals locker room. According to the game's announcers, the Bengals have the shovel to symbolize that they have to dig deep to win big games and to meet their goals. But as inspiring as that might be, I have a bad feeling that shovel might be used by a Bengals player outside the locker room at some point to crack someone in the back of the head and then to dig a hole to bury the body to hide the evidence.
9. What an awful game by the Seahawks in Chicago on Sunday night. Especially by quarterback Matt Hasselbeck. He was absolutely owned by Bears cornerback Ricky Manning, who picked him off twice in the first half. I'd say Manning beat Hasselbeck like a rented mule, but I think the slightly lesser-known saying -- "beat him like a laptop user at a Denny's" -- would work better in this case.
10. In addition to pulling out an exciting win at Giants Stadium on Sunday against the Jets, Peyton Manning had the opportunity to go to New York for the second time already this season. And I hope for his sake that during one of these trips he was able to find the time to sit down with some folks from Madison Avenue, because it's really a shame that he is not in any TV commercials.
11. Actually, that's not true. He's in that Nextel commercial where he is wearing that ridiculous wig and fake mustache, and that enormous -- and hilarious -- fake neck. So that's one Manning commercial, at least.
12. Wait ... what's that? That's not a fake neck, you say? That's his real neck? Yeah, good try. I'm not that gullible. I know a fake neck when I see one.

It's not as simple as blaming farmers for the potentially
toxic algal bloom returning to waters in Otago, baffled Otago
Regional Council staff say.
The council warned the public last week to avoid contact
with, and keep their dogs away from, Lake Waihola and
Tomahawk Lagoon after discovering the algal bloom.
Otago Regional Council director of environmental information
and science John Threlfall said he had taken samples of the
blue-green algal bloom on Monday, but was waiting on the
toxicity results.
However, the algal bloom could change quickly from being
toxic to non-toxic, or vice-versa.
There was no correlation between the increase in the
blue/green algal bloom and the increase in nutrient-use by
farmers, Mr Threlfall said.
''It's not that simple."
The native algae had been found in waterways far away from
farming before and the blue/green algal bloom was last seen
in Lake Waihola in 2002.
The conditions at Lake Waihola had not changed since last
year so council staff were unsure why it had returned this
year, he said.
''We don't know why it blooms."
A name, residential address, and (preferably residential) telephone number is required from readers who comment on ODT Online. These details will not be visible to site visitors.
Causing the native Diatom Algae to grow will control algal
blooms. Diatoms are rapidly consumed by zooplankton and
fish, so they do NOT accumulate. Blue Green Algae is a
problem since it is not consumed and hence accumulates.

Read Kelly Unsworth's column in the August 16, 2013 edition of the Norwood Transcript and Bulletin. Kelly is a children's librarian at the Morrill Memorial Library.
This summer in the library, the Jr. Friends have been working on one of my favorite volunteer projects of the season, the Morrill Memorial Library's version of "little free libraries"; those gnome-like creations that have been springing up for years across the country, and more recently in the Boston area. As far as I know, and I would love to be proven wrong about this, there are none in Norwood. Or shall I say, none "yet".
The simple concept behind these Lilliputian libraries began in Wisconsin in 2009, by Todd Bol who built the first little free library and filled it with books for all to take in honor of his mother, a book lover, who had passed away. The library was physically small, no larger than an oversized mailbox, but the idea took off like a cheesy romance novel. People of all walks of life who had seen the libraries in places that they had visited began planting these birdhouse like structures on their front lawns and filling them with books, and looking with pleasure as neighbors helped themselves. Take a book, leave a book has always been the motto of the free library, although if you have no book to leave no on minds. There are no library cards, no over dues, and no set collection of books, although some collections may reflect a local flavor.
So why has it become so popular? The idea seems quite simple, fill a container with books for all to enjoy. But I believe it is because it is so much more; this is community involvement at its best. This is a desire to reach out to your neighbors, make new friends, share ideas. What better way to build a sense of community and pride than by building and sustaining neighborhood libraries that will ultimately take on the personalities in size, shape, and collections of those who use them?
So this summer I am jumping on this idealistic community movement, in hopes of igniting a small flame. The Jr. Friends of the Library have been busy packing cardboard boxes filled with library donations of children's books. Each box contains about 20 books; a combination of easy readers, chapter books, and teen books. All of the books are popular, and although they are all in good shape, most aren't perfect as they have been "previously loved". But the boxes are decorated, and the books are free to children. There is only one rule: take a book if you would like one. The hope is that everyone will leave a book when they can to continue this wonderful tradition. The boxes will sprout up in places that children frequent, like ice cream stores, supermarkets, and laundry mats.
Perhaps one day soon more "little free libraries will mysteriously appear in Norwood neighborhoods, featuring the style, skill, and creativity of the maker or makers. Building plans, suggestions and ideas are avaiIable online, and this would make a wonderful project for a Scout group. Be sure to email me if you should decide to launch your own library, I will be sure stop by to check it out and borrow a book.

MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) - A state representative says this election year might finally bring success for his legislation to end the governor's control over which highway projects get built and which get postponed.
Republican state Rep. Cam Ward of Alabaster has persuaded the House to pass a bill for seven years that would transfer control of
the state Department of Transportation from the governor to an
appointed commission.
His bill has always died in the Senate.
But Ward says this year may be different because Gov. Bob Riley is not seeking re-election and the commission would apply to a new
Ward's bill is pending in a Senate committee.
Democratic Sen. Larry Means of Attalla says he hopes to kill the bill like he has in past years.
He says the system is working with the governor in control.

Optimal design of launch vehicles is a complex problem which requires the use of specific techniques called Multidisciplinary Design Optimization (MDO) methods. MDO methodologies are applied in various domains and are an interesting strategy to solve such an optimization problem. This paper surveys the different MDO methods and their applications to launch vehicle design. The paper is focused on the analysis of the launch vehicle design problem and brings out the advantages and the drawbacks of the main MDO methods in this specific problem. Some characteristics such as the robustness, the calculation costs, the flexibility, the convergence speed or the implementation difficulty are considered in order to determine the methods which are the most appropriate in the launch vehicle design framework. From this analysis, several ways of improvement of the MDO methods are proposed to take into account the specificities of the launch vehicle design problem in order to improve the efficiency of the optimization process.

Command & Conquer Generals 2: No single player campaign at launch
C&C Generals 2 won't have a single player campaign at launch but it will have a strong focus on eSports, BioWare has confirmed.
Speaking with PC Gamer, Bioware Victory general manager John Van Caneghem explained that Generals 2 will not launch with a single player campaign, and that both co-op and PvP skirmishes will serve as the game's focus.
Caneghem did reveal however, that more modes could be added to the game if the community demand is high enough, including a story mode.
Speaking of where the game may evolve over time, Caneghem added, "We decided to choose Generals as the first set of games we build under the universe, but we'll be expanding after that, like Tiberium and Red Alert as well as some others as well. But Generals 2 was the first one, and it was one of the biggest sellers, as well as the fanbase has been asking for it for some time."
Does the lack of single player make your blood boil, or is multipalyer fine? Discuss below.

Off-topic of the development near FL, I've been watching that large ULL spinning over the Central Atlantic for at least two weeks now, centered in the mean somewhere in the lat-long grid bounded by 20 N to 40 N and 40 W to 60 W. It has been very persistant and vigorous, with spokes of vorticity at times extending down below 15 N and as far west a Cape Hatteras. Now, note on the Tropical RAMSDIS WV loop the large upper-level high around 20 N 40 W finally pulling this ULL northeast.
It looks it may finally be the demise of this ULL, which, when centered above the Atlantic surface high, caused a lot of shear. If the large ULH moves in to replace it, could this change in the overall pattern signal the beginning of the Cape Verde season this year?

CAIRO (AP) -- Human Rights Watch says that the climate for free
expression in Egypt has worsened since Hosni Mubarak was ousted a year ago.
The statement on Saturday comes on the anniversary of Mubarak's
resignation after an 18-day uprising.
The New York-based rights group cited military trials of protesters and bloggers and the use of deadly force to break up demonstrations.
It also noted the interrogations of activists for criticizing the military, the suspension of new satellite television licenses, and the closure of an outlet of Al Jazeera television.
Deputy Middle East director at Human Rights Watch Joe Stork said
Egypt's ruling military council "seems to be unjustly prosecuting
journalists to obscure repeated brutality against the media by
security forces."

Neck flexibility is important for many daily tasks. Crossing the street while walking requires a high amount of neck rotation. Backing up a vehicle while looking out the rear window requires the greatest amount of neck rotation among typical daily tasks. Many older adults have reduced neck rotation range of motion, and therefore some may be limited in their community mobility, including driving a vehicle safely. Flexibility programs have been recommended to improve neck range of motion, but the research evidence for this is limited. The purpose of this study was to determine if a flexibility program could improve the range of motion of the upper body and in particular neck rotation.
Older women (70 and older) with self-reported mobility limitations were randomly allocated to 3 exercise groups: upper body flexibility, lower body power training with elastic bands, and lower body power training with resistance training machines. The latter 2 groups were control subjects (n = 33) for the upper body training intervention subjects (n = 15). All subjects exercised for approximately 45 min twice weekly for 12 weeks with the same warm up and cool down protocol. Upper body flexibility training consisted of the following static stretches: trunk side flexion, shoulder retraction and protraction, neck side flexion, neck rotation, forward neck flexion, neck retraction and diagonal neck movements. All stretches were done 3-4 times and held for about 10 s. In addition, 2 dynamic range of motion exercises were done including shoulder and arm circles (forward and backward).
Testing of upper body flexibility (by a blinded assessor) included field tests of neck and trunk rotation as well as shoulder flexibility. The "back scratch" test of the Seniors Fitness Test was used to measure shoulder flexibility. Neck range of motion (side flexion, forward flexion, and rotation) was measured by the Cervical Range of Motion (CROM) device. Two way repeated measures analysis of variance was used to test for changes between groups for each of the flexibility variables. None of the range of motion measures showed differential changes in the intervention group versus the control group after training, except for the back scratch test.
In this test the flexibility trained subjects improved on average by 4.6 cm (p < .01), whereas the control subjects did not change (only increased by about 0.2 cm on average, NS). Reasons for the lack of a change in neck rotation range of motion may be because stretching may not be able to overcome the age-related changes that limit rotation. In contrast, shoulder flexibility may be more amenable to change because of the larger soft tissue components as compared with neck rotation. Alternatively, improvements in neck range of motion may require relatively more frequent training (more than 2 days per week). In conclusion, this study found that while shoulder flexibility was improved with an upper body flexibility program twice weekly, neck range of motion was not. Support for this study was provided by NSERC, CanDRIVE, and a fellowship to S. Webber from the Institute of Aging, CIHR.

Good and fresh - everything a salad should be.
This salad is full of flavors. So easy to do. I used fresh lettuce and cherry tomatoes from my garden. I used lemon juice. Me and DH liked it so much. Thanks Nif :) Made for ZWT9
This was a lovely, refreshing Greek salad. Made for ZWT9.
Need a salad in a hurry? This one is for you then. It is a colorful salad, that you can put together in minutes. I used lemon this time in making it, but would like to try balsamic vinegar next time. Made for Went To The Market - Summer 2011
Fit for a Queen! Lovely with the feta and the lemon...only used a bit of oil, because the feta, cukes, tomatoes, and lettuce just screamed to be lightly dusted with such things. The freshness just exudes from every pore of the tomato, and you can see the deliciousness of this. Nothing else to add. Just make it. Go do it.
Made a cool, healthy and nice light dinner. Wonderful fresh flavors. Used the lemon juice option by garnishing with a wedge of lemon and then squeezing over when eating. Like that it was lightly dressed. Made as written using an English cucumber and home grown tomatoes. Will make again. Thanks for the post.
A very healthy, fresh and satisfying salad! I luved the juicy cucumber with the sweet and sour tomatoes and the salty feta cheese! YUM! The black pepper was the perfect seasoning. I think some dill would also be a nice addition. Instead of the olives I used some spring onion and a chili pepper, cause I really dont enjoy olives in my salad. THANK YOU SO MUCH for sharing this wonderful recipe with us, Nif! Made and reviewed for 1-2-3-Hit Wonders July 2010.
This is good and quick. A basic salad for us and one I would tend to make without a recipe. I used baby cucumbers, goats milk feta cheese, freshly squeezed lemon juice, an unrefined extra virgin olive oil on a bed of baby romaine lettuce, since that is what I had on hand, plus the rest of the ingredients not mentioned. Made for Family Picks, ZWT6 Greece/Cyprus region, for my team, The Ya Ya Cookerhood!!
What a wonderful lunch this made. I packed it all up in a reusable container and was so pleased when it came lunch time and I had a delicious fresh salad waiting for me. I served mine on a bed of spinach. Made for ZWT 6 by an Unruly Under the Influence.

Mormons break ground on 'green' meetinghouse in New Jersey
Our take: Beginning with several new meetinghouses in Utah, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has recently been finding ways to make the buildings more environmentally friendly. The newest "green" chapel is to be built in Englewood, N.J., and it will be the first LEED certified building in the town.
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints broke ground Saturday on an enviromentally friendly state of the art meetinghouse in Englewood, planned to serve members of the Mormon faith from across Bergen County.
The 15,270-square-foot facility is expected to open in early 2014, according to a church news release. Plans call for it to include a chapel, 16 classrooms and offices, along with a gymnasium and underground parking spaces. The new meetinghouse, the release said, will also become Englewood's first building to carry LEED certification, which recognizes the structure's "green" construction.
Earth-friendly building features will include rooftop gardens to increase energy efficiency, a sophisticated water recycling system to reduce wastewater and limit the use of potable water for landscape irrigation, and advanced control systems for lighting and thermal comfort will also be installed, church officials said. Recycled and renewable building materials will also be used in construction.

A rare visit from the all-time top poster on the boards here these days (after chewing you plebs up so many times) but a neccessary one i feel due to the recent TURMOIL at your once great club regarding WAZZA.
Now, Wayne Rooney... face it lads, no one abroad either wants, needs or can afford the greedy Scouse THUG and Prozzy lover which means he will STAY in the Prem... and the only two clubs that can afford him are - CHELSEA or your arch rivals and now the number one team in Manc-chester........... CITEH!!!!!!!!!!
Question is boys which of your two arch enemies and EPL superiors will the lad go to... i'm betting on CITEH... but of course like TEVEZ and SCHMEICHEL he'll never go there.... RIGHT!?
Your club is on the way down gloryhunters and Gooney is proof of that... you must be gutted

Sadly not clairvoyant, no. Just less resistant to believing all the rubbish printed in papers than some, it would seem.
The countless stories about Chelsea players not re-signing contracts makes me a little cynical about the notion that because a contract isn't signed with nearly two years to go that means the player will be out soon. I got Joe Cole wrong. I got JT, Lampard, Drogba, A Cole etc right.
Anyway, Rooney and United did the right thing in the end. United is a better place for him than any other club I can think of.

He will leave in January. He will be sold abroad. Sir Alex feels completely betrayed , and as Rooney is still contracted to United, it's United which decides where he goes, not him.

RIP: Blender Magazine
Blender Magazine announced today that it will cease print publication after its April issue, which features Kelly Clarkson on the cover.
Maybe Rolling Stone and Spin will go back to fewer, more in-depth reviews, but probably not.
The aggressive Blender style of reviewing 100 albums with just a paragraph most likely will stick as one of its legacies.
Among its other marks on the pop-music industry is the babe on the cover and the sensational, attention-grabbing list, like the 50 Most Sleazy Moments in Rock and the 50 Worst Songs of All Time, which included "The Sounds of Silence."
The one I remember most is the "50 Worst Artists in Music History," which nailed both The Doors and Mick Jagger.
Folks who can't live without such nonsense can still find it online at blender.com.

Body found near railroad tracks in Spartanburg

A death investigation is underway after a man was found dead beside a CSX railway near Crescent Avenue in Spartanburg Sunday evening.
A passing train crew spotted the body lying near the tracks near the intersection of Crescent Avenue and South Irwin Avenue around 5:30 p.m.
The Spartanburg County Coroner's Office will try to identify the body using fingerprints, Coroner Investigator Dwayne Corn said.
Corn was on scene throughout Sunday evening examining the body and preserving evidence to determine the man's identity and the cause of death.
He said he did not suspect foul play as of 8 p.m. Sunday, but the investigation is pending autopsy and toxicology testing.
Coroner Rusty Clevenger added that the man's body was found with noticeable injuries.
"At this point, we don't think foul play is associated, although we leave that until our exam," he said.
Kevin Brannon, who lives near the tracks, said he had heard trains go by on the railway throughout the day and wondered how long the man's body had been lying near the tracks.
"This is surprising. It's a real concern," he said. "People don't go down there, only up that way to the store."
The discovery was near the Side-Traxx Convenience Store and adjacent to Carson Avenue, a residential street of single-family homes.
Spartanburg Police Department, the coroner's office and CSX Railroad Police remained on scene to investigate.
An autopsy is scheduled for Monday afternoon.
