DETROIT (AP) - Nissan is recalling just over 1 million cars, SUVs and vans because the front passenger air bags may not inflate in a crash. It's the company's second recall to fix the same problem.
The recall affects the Altima midsize car, Leaf electric car, Pathfinder SUV and Sentra compact models from the 2013 and 2014 model years, as well as the NV200 Taxi van and Infiniti JX35 SUV from 2013. Also covered are the Infiniti QX60 and Q50 SUVs from 2014.
In documents filed with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, Nissan says the vehicles' computer software may not detect an adult in the passenger seat. If that happens, the air bags won't inflate.
Nissan will notify owners and dealers will update the software for free. The recall is expected to start in mid-April.
Most of the vehicles were recalled in February of last year for a similar problem. Dealers replaced seat sensors, but Nissan said it continued to get consumer complaints and warranty claims in vehicles that had been repaired.
Front passenger seats have sensors that determine the passenger's weight and turn off air bags off if a child is on board. The malfunctioning sensors can turn the air bags off even if an adult is in the seat.
Nissan received three reports of air bags failing to inflate in a crash. Spokesman Steve Yeager said in an e-mail that he is not sure if anyone was hurt in those incidents. There have been no deaths due to the problem, he said.
The recall affects almost 990,000 vehicles in the U.S., another 60,000 in Canada and small numbers in other countries, Yeager said.

WOONSOCKET — Turnovers will hurt you.
When you do it against an evenly-matched team, it will often be the difference in the game.
Woonsocket High committed more than its share of mental miscues on Thursday night and suffered its first loss of the season, convincingly, as visiting Barrington left Savaria Gymnasium with a 51-32 victory in an intense Division I contest. The Eagles work underneath the basket on both ends of the court was particularly troublesome for the Villa Novans.

iPad mini with 4G on the way: Verizon cost me more money
Summary: I gave in and ordered an iPad mini today. I have to wait a while for it to show up as I grabbed a model with 4G LTE for the Verizon network. Its Share Everything plan caused me to spend more than I would have otherwise.
I felt certain I would end up buying an iPad mini at some point, as I have been using (and enjoying) smaller tablets since the launch of the original Samsung Galaxy Tab. I like the easily handled form of smaller tablets. I don't have the iPad mini yet as I decided to spring for the 4G LTE model, and it's all Verizon's fault.
I have been on the Verizon Share Everything plan since it first became available. The ability to share a big bucket of data accessible by multiple devices fits my gadget-flush lifestyle. I currently have a mobile hotspot, iPhone 4S, and an iPad 3 on the plan.
The plan lets me add new devices to the account for a simple monthly fee. All devices on the plan share a big bucket of data I pay for separately. I can add and subtract devices from the plan at will, which fits my revolving-door gadget lifestyle.
The ability to add the iPad mini to my data plan for just $10/month pushed me to order the cellular-capable tablet. I like using my bigger iPad everywhere without worrying about Wi-Fi, so the inexpensive monthly fee pushed me to buy the more expensive iPad mini. It's exactly as I predicted when shared data plans first appeared on the scene.
It may actually end up saving me money in the long run. The tiny form of the iPad mini means I can throw it in a pocket on any bag I carry. That means it will always be with me, and available to use as a hotspot for other devices. That will let me drop the Verizon mobile hotspot device from the plan, saving me $20 per month. I'll bet the iPad mini will serve as a hotspot via tethering for over 12 hours on a charge, too. Good thing the Share Everything plan includes tethering on all devices at no charge.

Via Larry Brown Sports:
Magic Johnson sat down for a candid interview with TMZ earlier this week in the wake of his son EJ walking hand-in-hand with his boyfriend down the streets of LA. Johnson and his wife Cookie have made it clear that they fully support EJ's decision to come out publicly, which has led to a great deal of praise from athletes and other people who feel the Johnsons should serve as an influence for others in a similar situation.
As an NBA legend, MLB owner, father of an openly gay son and someone who lives with HIV, Magic is at the center of many issues involving the LGBT community. And if a member of the Los Angeles Dodgers ever decides to come out, Johnson said he will be his biggest supporter.
"If that ever happened I'm going to support them, 150%," Johnson stated emphatically. "(I'll protect them) as much as I can. That's who I am, I'm a protector. I protect my family. That's why I was really upset that people were attacking my son and my family.
"As an owner, you really have to support the person. And, then, help educate the public. Once the organization and the owner (supports the gay player), then everybody else has to say, 'OK, we're going to support them.' Or, you just have to deal with it."
Magic said that he told EJ that his decision to come out is going to be "bigger than you" and will have a tremendous impact on the gay community. He said that an athlete has yet to come to him to reveal that they are gay and ask for advice, but he has received calls from athletes who are talking about "somebody else" struggling with being gay.
Magic also talked about when he found out EJ was gay, saying that his son never went to him but that he and his wife sat him down at about age 13 to have a discussion. The goal, he says, was to make sure to protect and support their son.
Finally, Magic discussed how he feels about some of the hateful reactions that have surfaced on African-American blogs and other forums.
The situation can't be easy for the Johnson family, but the way they are handling it is admirable and should help pave the way for acceptance. If an athlete really is as close to coming out as this report says he is, Magic could be one of many influential figures to lean on.
We know he will do anybody if he wants to. That's how he received the 'gay' diease

Frequently asked questions
We've put together some frequently asked questions to help you during the pilot. If you can't find the answer to your question, please .
- Why should I use an ELN?
- I don't work in a lab, can I use an electronic notebook too?
- Can I use ELNs in my teaching?
- Will it cost me anything to use the ELN?
- Will my data be secure?
- What will happen to my data after the pilot?
- How does this fit within the Research Data Management Policy?
- Do I need to worry about archiving my data?
- What happens if I start the pilot but can't continue?
- Who can I contact for more information?
Why should I use an ELN?
An electronic lab notebook is a digital version of your paper lab notebook. An electronic lab notebook allows you to record your research findings as you would in a paper notebook, plus you can directly embed and visualise digital data, images and documents, and search your notebook by keyword.
|Paper lab notebook
|Electronic lab notebook
|Manual search required.
|ELNs are designed to be searched by keyword. ELNs can search within a notebook as well as the contents of file attachments.
|Manage and store research data
|Data and research records may be spread across disparate systems – notebook, looseleaf notes, laptop, hard drives, network drives, DVDs etc.
|All data entered on the lab notebook is managed in a data centre and is backed up on a regular basis to another site. Datasets can be uploaded directly into the notebook and linked to contextual information.
|Manual photocopying, or scanning and emailing of notebook pages is required to share paper notebook data with colleagues and collaborators.
|Share datasets, pages or even an entire notebook with your fellow colleagues (can be "read only" if warranted) – even with external collaborators.
|Keep all data together
|It is not possible to put a complete record of all data into a paper notebook if working with big data sets, videos or large sets of image files. These cannot feasibly be reduced to printed pages. Often all the raw data is not included in paper notebooks, only representative images/printouts of files.
|All types of files can be uploaded (often by "drag and drop") into the electronic notebook very quickly in their original form. All raw data can be easily included.
|Transport data between work places
|Portable… but risky if you take the only copy of your experiment data offsite! Not so portable if you have filled a dozen or so notebooks during a project.
|Ultra-portable. You can access your lab notebook from any device with an internet connection, including overseas.
|Ensure data records are compliant for patents/industry
|Physical notebooks must be signed off by the lab supervisor to verify the date and time of writing.
|Data is time and date stamped, and all changes to the notebook are recorded. Notebooks can be signed to indicate final approval by an authorised party.
|Use Level 2 Physical Containment (PC2) facilities
|Paper notebooks cannot be taken in or out of a PC2 Lab as they can't be properly decontaminated. All notes and data generated in the lab must be scanned and/or electronically exported from the lab.
|Your lab notebook can be accessed from any device with an internet connection – use it on the resident computers in your PC2 lab, then access the data from your office or from home. No scanning or duplication of information required.
|Refer to standard operating procedures (SOP)
|Paper notebooks may have a standard procedure entered once and then other pages refer to this copy, despite the SOP being updated over time.
|Each experiment can be linked to an up-to-date SOP; or the current SOP file can be added to each experiment.
|Access Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS), safety protocols, risk assessments
|Important ancillary safety information for experiments are often not included in paper notebooks to save space.
|All ancillary files can be included or linked in electronic notebooks and thus are immediately accessible within the experiments.
|Set up projects for viewing by only subsets of lab members
|Notebooks on projects with industry nondisclosure or private patient information are required to be locked up with limited access.
|ELN can be limited to restricted personnel, who can access from anywhere necessary.
|Supervise lab personnel and students
|Supervisors/principal scientists need to visually inspect paper notebook data/ entries of students or other research personnel face-to-face in the laboratory.
|Supervisors/principal scientists can access all data and comments in lab members' notebooks electronically on any device, at any time from anywhere, including overseas.
|Comply with research management policies
|Often paper notebooks are filed away, lost or removed by exiting personnel.
|A copy of all data is retained within the university system for access at later times if required.
I don't work in a lab, can I use an electronic lab notebook too?
Yes! The electronic lab notebook platform is flexible, and can be used across most disciplines from the sciences through to the humanities and social sciences. to discuss whether the electronic lab notebook is right for your project.
Can I use ELNs in my teaching?
The ELN pilot is currently limited to researchers and postgraduate research students. This allows us to test the technologies viability in a controlled environment and ensure we are able to capture feedback and tailor the technology to enhance the University's research.
There is however a small evaluation group testing ELNs in the Faculty of Science for the purposes of teaching. Again, contained within a small group, the scope of the evaluation may be broadened if the solution proves valuable in a teaching scenario.
For more information about using ELNs in teaching please contact Geoff Gordon. For all other enquiries contact the .
Will it cost me anything to use the ELN?
No! Using your ELN is free, as ICT will cover all licensing costs and any other associated costs (eg. storage).
Will my data be secure?
Yes, your data will be secure. All data and attachments will be stored in NSW, and will be backed up within Australia. The University has worked with a third party to conduct a security audit and is satisfied that electronic lab notebook data is secure.
What will happen to my data after the pilot?
If the pilot is successful, you will be able to continue using your ELN without interruption.
If the pilot is unsuccessful, a copy of your data will be retained by the University in an accessible form (e.g. HTML or PDF) and be made available to you.
How does this fit within the Research Data Management Policy?
The ELN makes it easy for researchers to comply with the University's Research Data Management Policy and Research Code of Conduct. Maintaining an ELN enables you to:
- retain data and other documentation in searchable and retrievable form
- keep clear records of your research
- store your data securely
- share your data with other researchers if you choose to
- protect your data and keep it private if you need to
Do I need to worry about archiving my data?
No. A copy of your data will be retained by the University. If you have specific archiving requirements, contact Archives and Records Management (ARMS).
What happens if I start the pilot but can't continue?
We understand that your circumstances might change. If you start the pilot but can't continue, please notify us via the feedback form stating your reason(s). We shall assist you in exporting any data you have within the ELN to your paper notebooks.
Who can I contact for more information?
Please contact the for further information.

The Community Reinvestment Act is intended to encourage depository institutions to help meet the credit needs of the communities in which they operate, including low- and moderate-income neighborhoods. It was enacted by the Congress in 1977 (12 U.S.C. 2901) and is implemented by Regulation BB (12 CFR 228). The regulation was revised in May 1995.
The CRA requires that each depository institution's record in helping meet the credit needs of its entire community be evaluated periodically. That record is taken into account in considering an institution's application for deposit facilities.
A copy of an institution's CRA evaluation may be obtained directly from the institution or Reserve Bank.
Federal bank regulators use the following performance levels to rate an institution's performance under CRA:
O = Outstanding

Good morning, gentles!
A few weeks ago, I was fortunate enough to be invited, along with a number of my fellow lore-lords of the Realms—those being Eric Boyd, George Krashos, Brian James, and Erik Scott de Bie—to chat with members of the story team over at Wizards of the Coast (including D&D Creative Director James Wyatt, Matt Sernett, and ex officio non-employee but kinda sorta, Ed Greenwood) about the future of the Forgotten Realms. We got a sneak peek at some of the secrets that are going to be revealed at this Gen Con's D&D Keynote and the 'What is the Sundering?' panels that will follow it, as well as a glimpse at how the Realms will be treated in the coming years and edition(s).
There is good reason for us all to be excited.
None of us can talk all that much about what's going to happen over the next week and a half, but I encourage you all to stay tuned. On Thursday, Friday, and Saturday of next week, information's going to come out that will affect what you think about the state of Realms publishing. In a good way, I think.
If you can make it to Gen Con, you'll want to make sure to be at the "The Future of Dungeons & Dragons" keynote (Thursday night), and at least one of the Sundering panels (Friday afternoon and Saturday morning). If you can't make it, the links below will help you get as much exposure as you can.
The full slate of Gen Con D&D Panels is listed here.
The D&D keynote will be live streamed here.
The 'What is the Sundering?' panels will be posted here. No word yet as to whether they will be live, or edited and posted later.
Also not to be missed—and following immediately after the D&D keynote—is our own panel, Candlekeep Presents: 25 Years of the Forgotten Realms. If you're going to be at Gen Con, you should not miss this event, where we'll be discussing the revelations of the address, speculating about the future of the Realms, and possibly welcoming a surprise guest or three. From what I hear, there will also be a fun giveaway at some point in the night, which we already expect to go well past our scheduled end time of 10 pm.
These are exciting times for the Forgotten Realms, folks. Get ready. Get excited.
Get to Gen Con (or, you know, to a computer...).

Fried Green Tomatoes
"EACH TIME I fix these tomatoes, it takes me back to the Ohio farm where I grew up. I savor the taste of this delicately sauteed vegetable, with its crisp crust, moistened slightly with the pan gravy. Mom could do these to perfection! Maybe that's why this dish is my favorite part of this memorable meal."
6 Servings
Prep/Total Time: 30 min.
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 cup all-purpose flour
4 to 6 medium green tomatoes, sliced 1/2 inch thick
1 egg, beaten
1/4 cup milk
1 cup seasoned dry bread crumbs
3 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
Combine sugar and flour; place on a shallow plate. Dip both sides of
each tomato slice into the mixture. Combine the egg and milk. Dip
each tomato slice; then dip into the bread crumbs. In a skillet,
heat butter and oil over medium-high. Fry tomatoes until brown on
both sides but firm enough to hold their shape. Yield: about 6

Ivan Nova will still start on Tuesday
TORONTO -- Joe Girardi said, as of now, Ivan Nova, coming off two straight poor outings, remains in line to start
Should his team find itself in a one-game playoff against the Orioles Thursday for the division title, Girardi said Andy Pettitte, who started Saturday, would be on the mound.
"He's lined up there, so yes," Girardi said.

« Rockies vs. Phillies: Series open thread | Main | Phillies vs. Nationals: Series open thread »
Feels like a loss.
First comeback win after being down entering the 9th, 5-game series at home, and time for this team to finally begin to show something.
Need to win 4 this series and get close back to .500.
They'll win 3 at best.
This is going to be one long a88 thread...
Thanks for the JTNC link, Zombie Corpse!
Yes, if they don't win 4 this series, they are surely finished.
I actually think they'll win 3 or 4, slide past the Mets in the division, and stay enough games back to prevent any significant tinkering with the roster. This short term success will help to secure medium term mediocrity. Can't wait!
Seriously, though, I'm 110% clear on the lack of any real contention with this year's team. I am, however, extremely thankful that despite being fairly mediocre, they put together the occasional exciting game (see yesterday's first Wednesday win of the season) to keep me tuning in. I've always said that bad baseball beats no baseball at all. This team is actually quite a bit more fun to watch than that, even, despite their destiny as a 70-80 win squad. A crappy NL East only serves to prolong the excitement.
Do we get to know what happened to the Comcast posters? I admit to morbid curiosity on the subject.
WP, I think the reason you're enjoying the mediocre/bad baseball this season is that the team is actually playing better than last year's team.
People need reminding that last year's Pythagorean W-L was 66 - 96.
Sure their RECORD was better (73 wins), but the Pythag' was the QUALITY of baseball we were WATCHING.
So yeah, bad baseball is better than no baseball, and this year's team at least has a puncher's chance to win every night.
Last year it didn't feel that way.
BAP, I think it's scaring season, so Mike Wizowski is on sabbatical. Pretty sure Seidman is up-to-his-ears in other gigs (including an extremely overactive twitter account). And Finger's articles were only ever copy/paste to begin with, so they're saving money on an intern to hit ctrl+C, ctrl+V. There's a "jordan something or other," too, but clearly my inability to even remember his name indicates that we're likely not 'missing' him, exactly.
bap, WP nailed most of the points.
Clearly these guys are too busy over at downcast to do any work here.
If you look at their body of work you wonder how some of them keep jobs.
texted my friend who is a mets fan that even if we take 4 of 5, we are still a game under .500 ugh.
or two...thats how much this season means to me.
"I think it's scaring season, so Mike Wizowski is on sabbatical"
Wait . . . didn't they ditch the whole idea of scaring season at the end of the movie?
Im clicking my ugly shoes and hoping for a winning run...Click..click..click..
Good points on pythag, awh.
While the vast majority of us (degenerates?) here aren't impressed with a dog and pony show looking to sell tickets based on the names of "hey, I heard of that guys," it is also refreshing to start a season with healthy core, even if that core is likely past the point of their prime and tying up payroll.
Why wouldn't the Comcast writers want to continue writing for BL? It's not like they get berated within 30 seconds of every post they make by multiple people that aren't pleased with the content.
It's a total mystery. This was such a rewarding job for them, I'm sure.
Just wait for hittin' season
From Gelb, on Bastardo:
"I feel good," Bastardo said. "I'm not pitching well."
The $2 million reliever started from scratch Thursday with the hopes of regaining confidence. Bastardo said his extra work Thursday focused on his rotation; he believed his right arm and torso were flying open. He wants to center his body on a straight line to home plate.

Same lineup as last night. Would've liked to see Gwynn in for No-Downtown Brown after Tony ignited last night's 9th-inning rally by hustling to first base and drawing a bad throw.
Don't think the Phils will legitimately contend either and said at the start of May that if they weren't a few games over .500 or at least at .500 with their favorable schedule that they weren't contenders.
Just saying that if they are going to start to make a move they need to start doing it now.
An M Martinez sighting!
I thought for sure you fell off the face of the Earth once Gwynn's OPS dropped below .700 over a month ago.
Really important to get a guy slashing .183/.301/.211/.512 into the lineup.
Thank you for a new thread header, by the way, JW.
And for the "Jump to newest comments" link.
"An M Martinez sighting!
I thought for sure you fell off the face of the Earth once Gwynn's OPS dropped below .700 over a month ago."
Drop off the face of the earth? And miss that magical moment in tonight's game when Gwynn's OPS falls under .500?
I just heard Chase call Boone Logan a "very tough lefty". I'm not sure but what Chase wasn't being a little generous.
Hopefully he won't get enough PA tonight for his OPS to drop 13 points.
Yeah, we probably unfairly picked on the site header contributors, but not necessarily for the content itself. It was the copy/paste from other CSN sites that only confirmed that BL is a "nuisance" in the larger Comcast world.
I do like that JW set up series headers and just lets the comments take it from there, since that always has been BL's crowning jewel. It would be cool to see the occasional guest header, or something in that vein, but I'll take the baby steps toward improving the site. I do give JW serious credit for that in the last couple months.
Boone Logan could go on to win 4 consecutive Cy Young awards and he'll still always be "the guy who gave up a HR to Ben Revere" to me.
It's the battle of the 2 worst teams in the division!
Hadn't really checked out Phillies team splits much this year, but looking over them now, one stands out. And it makes so much sense now looking back.
They've been horrible leading off an inning.
It's sure feels like the leadoff hitter never does anything and the numbers bear that out.
Also, as baffling as it's seemed at times, you can't really fault Sandberg's lineup construction.
1-2 (non-pitchers): .277/.352/.386/.738
3-6 (non-pitchers): .274/.338/.459/.797
7-9 (non-pitchers): .181/.268/.273/.541
That last group is simply atrocious.
Revere's actually been pretty good leading off, of late. In his last 8 games (post-bubonic plague/benching) he's got a .933 OPS, (12/30) with only 2 Ks.
Nice smooth first inning
"Why wouldn't the Comcast writers want to continue writing for BL? It's not like they get berated within 30 seconds of every post they make by multiple people that aren't pleased with the content."
Point well taken. If someone goes to the trouble of posting an article -- even if it's just a reprint of what they wrote for Comcast -- it's obnoxious to attack that person. I do think the criticism is warranted, however, when the threads go stale for 5 days without an update, or when trolls are permitted to take over a thread without any action from whoever is running the blog.
As evidenced.
Oooh pitch #2 to Rollins should have been crushed out
Wow, Revere looked out.
Nah, was safe.
That was mighty close.
Or here's a thought: since this blog generates revenue due to advertisements, and advertisements only have an effect if people visit the blog, and since those running the blog are receiving remuneration for their troubles (or work experience that will lead to future remuneration), and presumably whoever is running the blog would want to ensure that the loyal visitors to the site stick around, along with newcomers wanting to join the community, perhaps...just perhaps, they can take seriously the complaints of those who frequent the site, and not get offended when their lackluster thread headers are posted, or not posted at all, as it were.
Listening to the Mets broadcast makes me sad that the Phillies tv team is so bad.
Last season: 22 SB, 8 CS
This season: 14 SB, 2 CS
And whether or not they were actually offended, is of course, speculation on Iceman's part. Perhaps this site just isn't generating enough revenue to warrant any activity on Comcast's part, and they will keep it up as long as it doesn't become a dead weight.
Fatalotti, from a 3rd-person perspective, most of the complaints seemed to boil down to: "Hey! You're not
my real dad JW!"
Damn, great location to get Chase looking
"And whether or not they were actually offended, is of course, speculation on Iceman's part."
I recall Corey specifically taking umbrage at some of the comments -- especially at the beginning. So it's not total speculation.
Wheeler has some good stuff
BAP, I'll amend to "offended to the point of not posting anymore".
I do remember Seidman not taking even warranted criticism well at all.
Now you've seen it, Phils
Attack next inning
Can Ryan bunt like that?
"Why wouldn't the Comcast writers want to continue writing for BL? It's not like they get berated within 30 seconds of every post they make by multiple people that aren't pleased with the content.
It's a total mystery. This was such a rewarding job for them, I'm sure."
Iceman, you are such an apologist for slack work, I'd love to be supervised by you.
I could f*****g get away with anything and never get fired!
Great pitch to Howard, too. You see him that inning and wonder how he could ever have a 2-month stretch where he's got an ERA near 5, particularly pitching in the cavern he plays in.
Must pitch a lot on the road.
Buchanan getting crushed... even on outs
This does not bode well
No faith in Buchanan to pull an Adams here.
I'd be happy if he just gives up 2.
Phew. Good play by Rollins.
Turned out surprisingly well. If he continues this trend (a run every other inning) we won't have much to complain about.
If he continues this trend (a run every other inning) we won't have much to complain about.
No, but we will be behind about two runs in the 6th.
Oh, definitely. But about all we can ask from a Buchanan-type.
Doesn't look like they're touching Wheeler today
Make him work and get to the bullpen
The Phillies best 3rd round pick ever is J.A. Happ. Fun list.
Brown swung out of his shoes there
5 straight Ks
Fat: Disagreement and constructive criticism are great. But a lot of the criticism which has been directed at the new writers just boils down to, "You suck" or "Man, these new writers sure are garbage compared to jw." That kind of criticism isn't constructive. It's just rude.
If I go to a restaurant that I don't like, I deal with it by not returning. I don't show up at the restaurant 3 times a week and tell the chef how crappy his food is. If I were writing a blog, and everything I ever posted was met with immediate derision, it sure as hell wouldn't make me all that eager to write the next post. I think Iceman has a pretty good point here. People can't rip everything these guys write & then complain that they don't write.
Strike 2 to Chooch was not a strike
Wheeler certainly doesn't need that kind of help
As to Wheeler, his OPS becomes monstrous once he reaches the 5th inning (1.064) this season. Last year it crept up in the 4th (.775), and pretty much only went up from there.
He strikes me as a Vance Worley type, with somewhat better staying power because he doesn't depend on called 3rd strikes as much. He's great if you don't see him throw much, but if you get him to overexert himself, he gets much less effective by the 3rd time through the order.
Again with the incompetent umpiring.
Nice time to come out of your slump, Cesar...
Hey, I think most of the criticism the new writers got was completely warranted- though a lot of the criticism was extremely inartful and over the top at times (particularly from awh, who will claim that he's just criticizing 'slack work').
I just don't think it's a mystery why they suddenly disappeared. For one, as BAP mentioned, they expressed displeasure in the comment section more than once after receiving criticism for something. And for two, what's in it for them, really? I doubt they're making more money copy/pasting articles on to this site. Comcast has long since given up on this place. They aren't part of any community here. Why would they continue to do something that is of no benefit to them, while the people that actually read their content here do nothing but hammer them mercilessly?
Man, that sucked. If it weren't for Wheeler's (apparently) massive backside that would have been a run.
" If it weren't for Wheeler's (apparently) massive backside that would have been a run."
Yeah, that was a bad break -- especially with the pitcher coming up.
Buchanan has no shot here.
Dang that bad luck of Cesar's shot hitting Wheeler.
That's a good point Iceman. I concede.
Buchanan wanted to take the lead with that swing.
Strike my 7:43 post from the record because BAP basically said exactly what I was trying to say in his 7:40 post.
Hell has frozen over.
On pace for 27 Ks
These outs are getting less killed.
Wow, that 2-1 pitch to Wright was also low. At least Buchanan got the call as well.
Heckler I can hear on the broadcast:
"Hey, David, why don't you join a winning team? (pause) Not the Phillies."
Right now we a short losing streak from basically been eliminated. They must start to turn this around and at least get to .500 soon.
Unless someone in the NLE starts turning it around massively, a 3-game losing streak would not put us out of it.
That said, it's unlikely we make the playoffs regardless.
What 'buster said.
That wasn't foul?
Cesar tried to take out Wheeler with the ball. That didn't work, so Chase threw his bat at him.
What's it gonna take???
Game = Over
Gotta win 4 in a row now or Season = Over
This is more like the David Buchanan I was expecting to see the last time out.
Only 52 pitches through 4.
Still a chance for the ol' quality start.
I just hope the bullpen comes in and gives up 1-2 runs so we can blame the loss on them and not the offense.
Just let that hanging curveball go on the first pitch, Ryan
Yeah not touching Wheeler at all.
Keep it within 3 to hang onto the chance for magic.
Wheeler waits until the 5th to implode. I say the 6th given how quickly some of our outs have been, but we've still got a shot.
Of course, we have to capitalize once that shot appears...
I have visions of dropping 4 of 5 to the Mets. Buchanan AKA replacement player, Burnett who's started to struggle, Cole who doesn't fare well v. the Mets, KK and Hernandez who are up and down. And that's just our starting pitchers. There's still our BP and our prone-to-narcolepsy offense.
If Buchanan can give them 6 and 3 tonight, that is about all you can expect out of him.
cesar can spin gold into straw.
That's just unacceptable. Cesar isn't a 3rd baseman, so I could understand if he made some throwing-related gaffes. But I expect him to be able to field a ground ball.
Ugh give up a leadoff hit to a poor-hitting pitcher.
Buchanan looks like he has a half-decent changeup but he throws way too many hittable 4-seam fastballs at 91-92.
Needs to throw less of them and learn to improve his cutter/sinker.
WTH Cesar?
He fielded it, then didn't try to tag out the lead runner. That's dumb. Literally dumb.
Oh brother. Just cut him already.
As poorly as Frandsen has played for the Nats (.239/.302/.318) with shoddy defense, the Phils did make a mistake by letting him go in spring.
Replacements for the Phils at 3B have been that bad.
Unless someone in the NLE starts turning it around massively, a 3-game losing streak would not put us out of it.
That said, it's unlikely we make the playoffs regardless.
Posted by: Phillibuster | Thursday, May 29, 2014 at 07:55 PM
With this team yes. They are unlikely to play better than .600...we would basically be tethering on be taking out contention with a 4-5 game losing streak...That is unless the Braves do their usual collapse..
Hernandez just froze and seemingly didn't know what to do there. Brutal.
As horrific as Brignac is as a hitter, they'd be better off with him in there.

Newest Technology news at Jenkins!
Teachers and students are so excited about moving into more online teaching and learning resources. There are two major shifts happening this school year across the district and we are on board with these changes!
First is My eCLASS, also called the Student Portal. Teachers are providing links, discussion groups, content files, and other resources as they move into the new school year. Children log in with their student number and school password. The Jenkins landing page provides links to some of our paid subscription sites as well.
Next is BYOD, Bring Your Own Device. The school district has opened up this capability to any student at any school this year. There are several very important materials for families to review as you make the decision about whether your child will bring a device to school. Links are provided in the side bar to the right to help you better understand this new initiative.
Technology News - Summer 2013
We added 6 Kindle Fires per classroom by August 2013! These e-readers provide over 125 titles to greatly expand classroom libraries. We also added 4 student laptops for each classroom to further extend the availability of online resources and productivity tools every day. We are excited about the school-wide wireless access that was added over the summer. This makes all our devices more widely used throughout the building. Over the next few months we will add some bring your own device options in a few classes.
Over the past 2 years, PTA donations and school fundraisers have provided 38 ipads. We have 7 sets of 4 that roll into classrooms for small groups of students to use. We keep 5 iPads in each Kindle cafe also.
In our Kindle cafes, we have 72 Kindles loaded with books from levels I - Z. Children are selected from each class to attend the Kindle cafe when they finish eating their lunch. Classes also go into the Kindle cafes to enjoy reading. The Kindle cafes have other electronic reading materials as well as magazines and online reading materials.
BYOD Materials
Ways to Contribute Any Time
There are several ways you can help us expand our technology resources. One way is a direct tax-deductible donation. Through My Payments Plus, there is a line for technology donations. MyPaymentsPlus.
Other ways do not cost anything except a little of your time. You can register at goodsearch.com and use its search engine and they will pay 1 - 2 cents per search. Another way is to do your online shopping through goodshop. Many online retailers will donate a percentage of the sale to our school.
Still another way to donate is to collect old ink cartridges, cell phones, video game systems, DVDs, ipods, etc. We sell them to a company called Cartridges for Kids which supports school technology fund raising and also benefits the environment.

Eating Wicked Tuna: A marine scientist tries to figure out what the heck is going on
When I wrote about Wicked Tuna, the National Geographic channel's Atlantic bluefin tuna fishing reality show (first aired Sunday night), I thought it would be pretty straightforward. Every rating system – Seafood Watch, Sea Choice, Blue Ocean Institute – lists Atlantic bluefin as an "Avoid." A look through the scientific literature – though I am not a tuna or fisheries expert – showed a vast gap between the fisheries literature, which focuses on bluefin population structure , and the conservation literature, which is trying to sound the alarm about bluefin's decline. Frankly, I didn't think it would be terribly controversial to argue that a purportedly conservation-focused organization like National Geographic shouldn't encourage consumption of Atlantic bluefin tuna.
So I was pretty surprised when two very different scientists, Lee Crockett, Director of Federal Fisheries Policy at the Pew Environment Group and Dr. Molly Lutcavage, Director of the Large Pelagics Research Center at U Mass-Amherst disagreed with my perspective. (I was offered a chance to talk with Crockett about bluefin before the post went up, but the scheduling didn't work out until afterwards. Dr. Lutcavage reached out to DSN in response to the post.) Both of these tuna experts believe that Wicked Tuna is good publicity for the Atlantic bluefin.

JERUALEM (AP) — Israeli forces struck targets in the Gaza Strip on Sunday, killing one Palestinian and wounding more than 30 others as militants launched dozens of rockets in some of the heaviest fighting the area has seen in months.
The flare-up increased pressure on the Israeli government to put an end to the violence, which escalated over the weekend and could turn into a major conflagration just two months before the country's general election.
Israeli leaders quickly amped up their rhetoric, warning Gaza's Islamic Hamas rulers they will pay a heavy price should they allow rocket fire toward Israel to continue.
"The world must understand that Israel will not sit idly in the face of attempts to attack us," said Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. "We are prepared to intensify the response."
Low-level cross-border fighting is common in the border area, but clashes escalated Thursday night when an explosives-packed tunnel under the Gaza-Israel frontier blew up, in what the Israeli military called an attempt by Palestinian militants to kill or kidnap soldiers. Palestinians said the blast was a roadside bomb to avenge the death of an 11-year-old boy who was shot dead earlier in the evening during an exchange of fire with Israelis.
Then on Saturday, militants fired an anti-tank missile into an Israeli military jeep patrolling the border fence, wounding four soldiers — one critically. Casualties of that order are rare for the Israeli military in clashes with Gaza militants.
In response, Israel launched airstrikes that have killed six Gazans and wounded almost 40. Palestinian rocket and mortar barrages have wounded four Israeli civilians and kept a large swath of the country running for cover. The military said more than 80 rockets had landed in Israel and 12,000 Israeli students stayed home from school on Sunday. Later in the day, the military said a Palestinian rocket made a direct hit on an Israeli home in the town of Sderot. No injuries were reported.
Yael Talker, a resident of Kibbutz Reim in southern Israel, said her family spent the night in a makeshift shelter in their home.
"Each time the alarms ring, we hope it's the last," she said. "Our patience is running out ... when we sleep, we dream about bombs. It must stop."
Nearly four years ago, before the last national election, Israel carried out a broad military offensive in Gaza to stop years of rocket fire. Some 1,400 Palestinians were killed in the operation, including hundreds of civilians. Since then, sporadic rocket fire has continued, but Gaza's Hamas rulers have largely refrained from major rocket attacks.

Home : Manufacturers : Polaris
Polaris Windows Prices
Polaris windows prices range from around $400 installed for the ValuSmart to $700 installed for the UltraWeld. Polaris gets good marks on their UltraWeld series, which is their top of the line window. They get medium marks on their ThermalWeld and just OK marks on their entry level ValuSmart window. Their products get particularly good air infiltration numbers and their production quality and consistency is very good. The factory uses high quality German equipment made by Sturtz and gets good to great marks from contractors and installers for consistency in manufacturing quality.
ValuSmart Series (Vinyl)
The ValuSmart is the entry level window that is a relatively plain window with pretty slim lines and a tilt in sash feature. The vinyl extrusions have a wall thickness of .070 (middle of the road) and don't have many chambers in order to cut down on cost (typical for an entry level product). They do have a decent U-value at around .33 and an Air Infiltration rate of 0.06. This window is pretty comparable to the Simonton 5500, although it is certainly not as good as the next two models below. See more Simonton windows prices.
ThermalWeld Series (Vinyl)
ThermalWeld is a decent window that beats out many mid grade manufacturer's mid range window series. It is not as sturdy as the UltraWeld. It has respectable performance numbers (U factor of 0.29 and an SHGC of .28) and is probably comparable to the more Soft-Lite Barrington, although with a thicker frame. This series carries the same warranty as the Ultraweld. See more Soft-Lite windows prices.
UltraWeld Series (Vinyl)
The Polaris UltraWeld is a well built window unit in both its design and energy efficiency. The company uses a stronger outer wall for the UltraWeld (with an optional foam fill in the main chamber) and has a U-value of around 0.29 and a very impressive AI number (.01). Compare this to a top performer like the Sunrise Restorations with a .28 U-value and an AI of .04 and you see why pros give this window its due. It has a number of very nice features and upgrades, including a stainless steel spacer called the UltraCept. The window gets great reviews for both their casements as well as their bays and bows (which come with an interior composite wood that can be stained or painted). See more Sunrise windows prices.

Baptist May (1628–1698) was a Royal courtier during the reign of Charles II of England. He is said to have been Charles's closest and most trusted servant, largely as a result of his knowledge that the king did not like to be approached on matters of business.
Charles Jenkinson, 1st Earl of Liverpool PC (26 April 1727 – 17 December 1808), known as the Lord Hawkesbury between 1786 and 1796, was a British statesman. He was the father of Prime Minister Robert Jenkinson, 2nd Earl of Liverpool.
Sir Christopher Hatton (1540 – 20 November 1591) was an English politician, lord chancellor of England and a favourite of Elizabeth I of England.
Elizabeth Herbert, Countess of Pembroke and Montgomery (January/March 1737 – 30 April 1831) was the daughter of Charles Spencer and Elizabeth Trevor.
George Edward Anson (1812 – 1849) was a courtier and British politician.
George Villiers, 1st Duke of Buckingham KG (28 August 1592 – 23 August 1628) was the favourite, claimed by some to be the lover, of King James I of England. Despite a very patchy political and military record, he remained at the height of royal favour for the first two years of the reign of Charles I, until he was assassinated. He was one of the most rewarded royal courtiers in all history.
Hugh Despenser, 1st Lord Despenser (c. 1286 – 24 November 1326), also referred to as "the younger Despenser", was the son and heir of Hugh le Despenser, Earl of Winchester (the elder Despenser), and Isabella daughter of William, 9th Earl of Warwick.
John Brown (8 December 1826 – 27 March 1883) was a Scottish personal servant and favourite of Queen Victoria for many years. He was appreciated by many (including the Queen) for his competence and companionship, and resented by others for his influence and informal manner. The exact nature of his relationship with Victoria was the subject of great speculation by contemporaries, and continues to be controversial today.
John Stuart, 3rd Earl of Bute KG, PC (25 May 1713 – 10 March 1792), styled Lord Mount Stuart before 1723, was a Scottish nobleman who served as Prime Minister of Great Britain (1762–1763) under George III, and was arguably the last important favourite in British politics. He was the first Prime Minister from Scotland following the Acts of Union in 1707.
Lady Sarah Lennox (14 February 1745 – August 1826) was the most notorious of the famous Lennox Sisters, daughters of Charles Lennox, 2nd Duke of Richmond.
Mrs. Pack (died 1694) was a wet nurse to the child William, Duke of Gloucester (1689 – 1700); she was believed indispensable to the boy's health, and because of that, came to exercise considerable control over the household of his mother, the future Anne of the United Kingdom. She has been called a forerunner of the British Nanny.
Robert Carr, 1st Earl of Somerset, (c. 1587; 17 July 1645), was a politician, and favourite of King James I of England.
Sir Roger d'Amory, Lord d'Amory, Baron of Armoy in Ireland, (b. ca. 1290 – d. bef. 14 March 1321/1322) was a nobleman and Constable of Corfe Castle.
Roger de Mortimer, 3rd Baron Mortimer, 1st Earl of March (25 April 1287 – 29 November 1330), was an English nobleman and powerful Marcher lord, who had gained many estates in the Welsh Marches and Ireland following his advantageous marriage to the wealthy heiress Joan de Geneville, 2nd Baroness Geneville. In November 1316, he was appointed Lord Lieutenant of Ireland. He was imprisoned in the Tower of London in 1322 for having led the Marcher lords in a revolt against King Edward II in what became known as the Despenser War. He later escaped to France, where he was joined by Edward's queen consort Isabella, whom he took as his mistress.
Sir Henry Firebrace (c. 1619 - 1691) was a courtier to Charles I, serving during his conflicts with Parliament throughout the era of the English Civil Wars. He later served Charles II as a Clerk of the Green Cloth and was knighted about 1685.
Sir James Scudamore (also spelled Skidmore, Skidmur or Skidmuer) was a gentleman usher at the court of Queen Elizabeth I. Born at Holme Lacy, Herefordshire, he was the eldest son of Sir John Scudamore, Custos Rotulorum of Herefordshire and his first wife Eleanor Croft, daughter of former Lord Deputy of Ireland James Croft. He would assume that title in 1616, and remained Custos Rotulorum for two years until his own death in 1619. Scudamore was respected for his tilting skill and his embodiment of the ideals of chivalry.

PTC Blames NBC, NFL for M.I.A. Halftime Birdby Hilton Hater at . Comments
You won't believe this, but the Parents Television Council (PTC) has something to say about the bird that M.I.A. flipped during last night's Super Bowl halftime show.
As previously reported and depicted, this rapper aimed her middle finger directly at a NBC camera during her brief time on stage with Madonna, an act that resulted in both the network and the NFL issuing an apology.
But the PTC has now released its own statement, coming down on the league for promising a clean show.
"NBC fumbled and the NFL lied because a performer known as M.I.A. felt it necessary to flip off millions of families," wrote PTC president Tim Winter. "It is unfortunate that a spectacular sporting event was overshadowed once again by broadcasting the selfish acts of a desperate performer.
"Last week the NFL formally told the PTC – and the American public – that the Super Bowl halftime show would be 'appropriate.' Most families would agree that the middle finger aimed directly at them is not appropriate, especially during the most-watched television event of the year."Winter went on to blame NBC for failing to properly police itself, as well as for hiring the kind of talent that took to the stage.
"The mechanism NBC had in place to catch this type of material completely failed, and the network cannot say it was caught off guard... They chose a lineup full of performers who have based their careers on shock, profanity and titillation. Instead of preventing indecent material, they enabled it. M.I.A. used a middle finger shamelessly to bring controversial attention to herself, while effectively telling an audience filled with children, 'F– you.'"
We agree with PTC in that M.I.A. is pathetic for resorting to such a maneuver in order to generate headlines. More than that, we just wish she had aimed the finger, privately, in the PTC's direction instead.
its not like you havent seen a middle finger before. For the love of God -_-
...while this is happening, there's a known woman-beater scheduled to perform at the Grammy awards. Why don't PTC take their action there. Go on and fine M.I.A, so she will have learned her lesson about American sensibilities..
I don't even think M.I.A was trying to draw attention to herself. The gesture kinda goes with the lyrics and I think it was impulsive. Anyway I think it's more harmful to kids that their parents get so hateful and hysterical over something relatively harmless as this, and go on and on about it. Just tell your kids she's not someone nice and don't do that. They'll have forgotten about it in a day.
MIA wasn't nice at all to do what she did, no one knew who she was, til she stuck her finger up, really?? at a super bowl game! Now i don't want to know who she is, No class!!!!!
Who cares about our youth? Who cares about our future? Let them emulate losers like MIA, the Kuntrashians, the Jersey whores, etc. They don't need no stinking positive role models. Let them grow up to be thugs, whores, habitual liars, and dregs of society. Go America!
its sad that these preformers cannot do one clean show! They can do wateva the hell they want at their concerts but they kno the game if they are doing the half time show. Mia is pathetic and sad to have to resort to something like this. Its nt edgy or cool its jus rude and as a person who wnts to see better musical acts instead of old ass 50yr olds it pisses me off! They will neva have younger ppl becuz u cant trust how they will act. So thank u mia for making sure nex years show is lame as hell!
Once again, the easily-offended PTC is exaggerating. The PTC feels the need to complain about any & every little slight to their delicate sensibilities. They seem to want to censor most of what's on tv, but thankfully, no one cares much about what the PTC says because they are too prude, rather than thoughtful. ....... Yes, what MIA did was stupid & childish. It wasn't shocking, it was just lame. Also, no one knew it was coming because I read that during the rehearsals, she did her routine as planned & gave no hints she was going to be an ass onstage. It was immature. I bet Madonna's pissed off. I wouldn't want Madonna mad at me. She can be ruthless.
Well it worked didn't it, she is getting all kinds of attention today(it really doesn't matter that it is negative either). It would have been better to ignore the whole thing completely and let her stay firmly in the shadows where she belongs.
They should fine her for stupidity.

Twinkie's demise not union's doing
America lost one of its iconic brands last month when Hostess, maker of Twinkies, Ding Dongs, Wonder Bread and other staples of postwar Middle America, closed up shop.
The announcement was an occasion for wags to litter the Internet with jokes about the Twinkie, a pathetic industrial confection that couldn't be more out of step with our artisanal, gourmet tastes. But there was another curious aspect to the story: Hostess workers were still represented by several labor unions, and one of them, the Bakery, Confectionery, Tobacco Workers and Grain Millers International Union, had gone on strike. The failure of management and the bakers union to reach an agreement, it appears, precipitated the closing of the company and the loss of 18,000 jobs.
The Twinkie and the labor union, going down together — the story fitted perfectly into a pat journalistic narrative in which unions have done their work (thanks for the eight-hour day, folks!) but now must exit the historical stage.
Unfortunately, reality is not quite so simple. Earlier this week, we learned — from the Wall Street Journal, no less — that the company had diverted payments it was supposed to make to the employee pension fund into other operating accounts. This at a time when finances were tight and management nevertheless decided to give itself more bonuses and salary raises.
This is the new America: Bonuses and stock options for the top brass, pink slips and blame for the working class. Most Hostess employees had taken steep pay cuts over the last few years. One of the major reasons the bakers union went on strike was that the company was not honoring prior pension agreements.
The version we got from the headlines was a little different: Union refuses to negotiate, forces 80-plus-year old company to shut down.
Don't be mistaken. What happened at Hostess is part of a long, protracted shift in the American workplace. Companies use any means at their disposal, including bankruptcy reorganization, to get rid of unions. Meanwhile, right-wing think tanks and pundits demonize union members as freeloaders and thugs. It has been a decades-long project, and it's been incredibly successful.
Look at Michigan. With a law signed last week by Gov. Rick Snyder, it became the 24th state in the nation where a person can accept a job, along with the benefits negotiated by union contracts, and opt out of paying union dues. In time, this will undercut the unions — and their ability to negotiate with employers.
That Michigan could become a "right to work" state is a testament to the power of the anti-union narrative. This is the very state where the once powerful United Auto Workers was birthed. But notice how this event is covered. Some in the media present this as a sad event — it's always sad when Middle Americans lose out. Others tout it as a victory for freedom. But nobody in the media is permitted to register this in outrage, to decry this as systematic rigging of the system in favor of employers at the expense of employees.
The only outrage permitted is Fox News' incessant coverage of the "thug" angle.
We also saw this in the coverage of the Chicago teachers strike — indeed, in any discussion of education reform. We are to understand that all blame for the problems of public education in this country can be hung around the necks of the teachers unions. They protect bad teachers, undercut efforts at reform, and fight all measures to hold them accountable for performance.
The troubles of public education are legion. Yet other factors that also affect educational quality receive far less reflection. Matters such as how districts are funded, and the additional difficulties that come with educating impoverished children in high-crime neighborhoods.
Then there is the issue of public employee compensation, which is said to be bankrupting states. Of course, union scolds never pause to ask why legislatures love to underfund pension funds — that is, to fail to live up to the contracts the states have negotiated with public employees in the first place. In this way, politicians are a bit like private-equity operators stuffing companies with debt, squeezing fees and profits into the right pockets, and shafting patsies like wage employees and the public.
The National Labor Relations Board has determined that Hostess didn't play fair in the negotiations with the bakers union. This news was no doubt met with smirks by those who regard the board as just another government entity standing in the way of big business.
Yet for all the bluster about makers and takers, job creators and moochers off society, one group is habitually left voiceless. They are the people who actually perform manual work, the blue-collar employees. They operate forklifts, stand on assembly lines, drive trucks and, yes, put sugary cream into yellow cakes.

Books...by Amythyst Raine-Hatayama
"Tarot for Grownups is an often bawdy and brutally honest tour through the intricate landscape of tarot card reading. Filled with witty thoughts and blunt appraisals, author Amythyst Raine shares her very personal relationship with the cards. Not one to stay on any traditional path, Raine is in the trenches, teaching you to really see the cards as an experience on the whole, not as a grueling memorization project you will get frustrated with and drop at the next opportunity. No, instead, Raine explains how she learned to view the cards and wastes no time doing it. Her descriptions of the cards and their relationships to one another and the querent are spicy and full of intelligence. This is definitely a book for adults; make no mistake, but an excellent way to gain a different perspective on tarot and the puzzle pieces that make up this art."

Who is the Witch?
She's a teacher, a librarian, a nurse, a doctor, a lawyer, a shop keeper, a writer, a mother, a student. She's a blue collar woman, she's a professional woman, she runs a business, runs for office, runs a household. She's a companion to her spouse, a grandmother, a partner to her same-sex mate. She could be any woman you've ever met and any woman that you interact with everyday.
What makes her different from other women? She sees things that other women don't. Nature speaks to her in an ancient tongue that has been forgotten by most. Her body responds to the waning and waxing of the moon, to the powers of the planets, the changing of the seasons, the behavior of wild animals, the energies of the plants, the energies of the stones.
The Universe speaks to her with the colorful images on cards, by the crystal images of a glass ball, by the movement of the pendulum, by the visions only she is shown.
Who is the Witch?...She is the Sorceress, the Mother, the Healer, the Wise Woman, the Priestess. She is part of a dim and distant past, and she is the shining light of our future.

Every Wednesday at 10.00am, except Christmas Day and New Years Day
Take a guided walk around the heritage woodlands and riverbanks of Durham City. Please wear sturdy shoes and dress appropriately for the weather. The walk starts at the North Door of the Cathedral.
Participants will be asked to complete a short health questionnaire at the start of the walk and should note that some steps and short, steep inclines will be encountered along the route. The walk will last for approximately 1 hour.
There are also opportunities for those interested in becoming a trained walk leader. For more information contact firstname.lastname@example.com
A free event - no need to book
Please note, Health Walks may occasionally be cancelled due to inclement weather conditions. If in doubt, please call 0191 3744078.
