A new interactive exhibit for kids explores the science of building homes & communities
There's one place on Staten Island where builders won't get slammed for overdevelopment.
At the Staten Island Children's Museum, kids can lay foundations, crash wrecking balls and shingle roofs. And they don't even need any permits.
"House About It," a new exhibit, explains how houses are built from the ground up, letting tool tykes do construction. Using equipment like plastic drills, cardboard blueprints and actual PVC pipes, kids find out what materials and which tradespeople it takes to build houses and plan communities.
Plus, they make a mess with dump trucks -- minus the dirt. (Instead, they move around rocks with kid-sized cranes and a front-loader.)
"It's great. They're able to use these materials and not get hurt," says Christen Walsh, a homemaker from Richmond, as her 3-year-old son, Ryan, swings the red rubber wrecking ball. "When he sees a house being built. He's like, 'Wow, Mommy.' So the wow factor is already there."
Exactly, say the masterminds behind the week-old $200,000 "House About It," an installation underwritten, in large part, by the S.I. building industry. The major donor is the Naso Organization, home builders based in Castleton Corners, whose vice president, Frank Naso, is a dad and a museum trustee. An illustration of trucks emblazoned with company names lets astute moms and dads know who made the exhibit happen.
Geared for toddlers through pre-tweens, "House About It" -- which replaces most of the "It's a Dog's Life" pet exhibit on the museum's third floor -- was developed based on similar projects in the Chicago Children's Museum, the California Science Center in Los Angeles and the Boston Children's Museum.
|Let's build a house
"Construction is a natural to children," says Addy Manipella, education director for the S.I. Children's Museum. "You have Tinkertoys, Legos, Lincoln Logs. The same things a 2-year-old plays with, a 10-year-old plays with in a different way."
Bringing in a construction exhibit made sense, as the borough struggles to maintain the balance between new construction and green space, say museum officials.
The computer "Town Planning Test" allows kids to pick out how many houses, schools, parking lots and shopping centers an ideal neighborhood should have. A touch screen asks: "Are the offices and stores in your town close to each other?" with "Yes" and "No" options.
While big kids might build their virtual towns on a giant table shaped like Staten Island, tots just like playing with the model houses, police cars and fire engines that come with the activity station.
A giant see-saw -- that doubles as a construction worker's level -- is equally irresistible.
But the most popular spot may be the two-floor, 400-square-foot frame house. Bob the Builder disciples can piece together PVC pipes and connect them to a hot water heater, turn on the gas, plug cables into a circuit breaker or ogle modern wall insulation (recycled dungarees) enclosed in clear plastic. ("Green materials" are emphasized throughout the exhibit.)
With a tape measure in one hand and a plastic wrench in the other, 5-year-old Jessica Gissi of Great Kills investigated the house last week. Her favorite tool? "All of them," says Ms. Fix It, "tightening" a screw.
At home, Jessica plays with her brother's tools, says her grandma, Theresa Granata. But in the kids' museum, the plush hammer, safety goggles and vests belong to boys and girls. It's fantastic, says Granata, noting as a young single mother she learned to a snake a toilet and fix a leaky sink herself.
"A girl can do just what a boy can do," she says. "They just have to be taught."
Jessica's older sister and brother might want to check out the architect's office, where, from blueprints, they can build three-dimensional models of historic New York City townhouses and New Orleans shotgun houses. Films from a video library illustrate more grown-up ideas like the cement-making process and how to hang doors.
"We didn't dumb anything down," says Gregory Wildes, director of exhibits. "We felt it was good thing to let kids be exposed to materials over their heads. They won't necessarily come here just once. It's something they can come back to and discover more."

Homophobic 'tattoo' vicar keeps newspaper column

Reader comments
Yet another example of obscene and coercive militant preaching of so called Christian "values" by someone who is a perfect example of why that childish and baseless nonsense should be dropped into the collective bin of human history and forgotten about now.
The guy is a joke
"Anybody with an ounce of sense of humour or any understanding of the tradition of English satire would immediately assume that they're light-hearted jokes," he said, according to The Daily Telegraph.
ounce of humour – check
Any understanding of the tradition of english satire – check
Immediately assume they're light hearted jokes – what f**king planet are you on? Only Bernard Manning fans feel that way about what amounts to rabid hate speech.
If you want more light hearted jokes in the same vein, I'm sure I could dig up a dusty old recording of the Nuremberg rally… that Adolph really knew how to work a crowd huh?
BTW Just read the Northern echo column link, and I quote
"THE awful incident in Derby when a mob encouraged 17-year-old Shaun Dykes to jump to his death from the roof of a shopping centre is one of the nastiest news stories I've read in my life."
He then has the audacity to point the finger at the percieved social ills that caused Shaun's suicide. At no stage does he point out that Shaun was gay and having trouble feeling accepted as a gay man. Wonder why? What a hypocrite.
I don't care for censorship, and I wouldn't like the appalling Mullen to be seen lose his column solely on account of this fracas. On the other hand, it hardly reflects well on the Northern Echo (or on its readers) to waste column inches on such a reactionary old fool. That said, the offending comments were made on Mullen's blog and not in print, so I can understand the impulse of the NE editors to keep him on board for the time being.
By the way, I am surprised by the description of Mullen as "a leading traditionalist." I don't think many self-proclaimed Anglican traditionalists (of which I am not one) would concur with this description.
rjb- I kind of see where you're coming from, and freedom of speech is certainly a grey area. However, whether these views were expressed in blog or in the main column, they were his views and they appeared in print.
I see them in the same way I'd view a journalist telling the masses that black people belong at the back of the bus or that Germany has to strike now to eradicate the Jewish problem. Blog or no blog, those remarks would be sacking offences in this day and age.
"militant preaching of homosexuality"
By which I assume you mean the fight for our basic rights and equality, don't you? Which you have a problme with, and hence the tatoo's?
Well, "Revrend" Mullen, perhasp a history lesson. Look up these owkrds in Wikipedia: 1939. Nazi. Tatoo. Gay. Lets see the similarities there, shall we?
This man is a unmitigated fool and a bigot.
Why not write to the Northern Echo asking if in addition to homophobic facism they also support racist or anti-semitic facism. They can be reached on http://www.thenorthernecho.co.uk/contactus/who/
It always bewilders me why homophobic facism is tolerated because of 'freedom of speech' whereas racist or anti-semitic facism isn't. Typical double standards.

Feeding Guide
Mix food with water, let soak at least 10 minutes. We suggest mixing up a batch in the evening and soaking overnight in the refrigerator for feeding the next day. You may mix up to four days of food at a time and store it in the refrigerator in a sealed container. Allowing the food to soak overnight will allow for optimal rehydration. It may still have a stew-like consistency with some broth present, but that is by design as it helps your dog stay properly hydrated (unlike dry kibble).
These daily amounts are guidelines, and your dog's requirements may vary depending on activity and overall health. Store in a cool, dry place and shake the bag occasionally to keep the ingredients mixed evenly. Amounts shown are total per day, and should be divided into at least two meals.
Please Note: Due to the nature of this product we suggest inverting or shaking the bag prior to mixing & serving.
It is important to introduce new food into your dog's diet gradually. We recommend starting with 10% of the new food to 90% of the old food on the first day, increasing the new and decreasing the old by 10% each day over the first 10 days.

My puppy loves it!
By Macy the sheltie
from Ottawa, IL
About Me Long-time Pet Owner
Comments about Only Natural Pet EasyRaw Dehydrated Dog Food:
My sheltie pup dives into this food every time! She actually jumps at the cabinets if I'm not fast enough! She could easily do a commercial for this product! I'm on my second bag of the beef and sweet potato dehydrated raw food. You would think there is crack cocain in it! Easy to use and plan on keeping her on it. I was a little worried as her water consumption has gone way down, but after reading other sites, it seems this is normal because of the water content after mixing.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Very Goodness! Could be Superbly Great!
By Drew
from Los Angeles, CA
We (2 pups and I) use freeze dried foods and snacks and fresh, raw foods and snacks. My boy and girl both LOVE their foods including this one. It is a wonderful taste variety for them. My girl seems to like it even better than my boy. There are 3 issues I have with it however, 2 of them are minor but noteworthy. First, only the meat is freeze dried, the veggies and fruit are dehydrated. Freeze drying preserves more nutrients. Second, the price is slightly higher than I personally would like to see, however it overall still rates a decent value. Third, the BIG ONE, the company doesn't tell you what facility they licensed to make this product. This would usually rule it out for me! Secrecy like that almost always means bad news. However, I found out who makes it anyway. I don't understand why they won't disclose it; it's a very good, reputable facility. Bottom line: there are a couple of better values out there - health and cost wise - but this is very good stuff.
Thought He would Love it!
By Maggie the Mom
from Kerrville, Tx.
I tried mixing it with a little water..not too much or he wouldn't touch it. Thefirsttime or two he seemed to like it..after that he only eats it to get his treat later on.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

I tried it before Chien!
By Magie
I tried a bit FIRST..the gave it to Chien in hydrated state. He seemed to like it a lot. Second time around, less so. Then he seemed to ignore it ...until he found out...no dinner, no bedtime treat.Now he wolfs it down.

Frankie likes it
By Senior Frank
from Austin, TX
Frankie is a 15 year old, 28 lbs boston terrier. He is picky or he gets board, (I haven't figured it out) with his food. But he really likes this product.
Easy Raw
By Weim mom
from Virginia
I use this as a base for raw feeding to assure that my dogs get all of their nutrients
Good raw food choice
By JdP
from Nashua NH
Only caution is the instructions are wrong about the amount of water / liquid to add. It's nearly 1 to 1!
Excellent alternative to kibble!
By muttlover1
from Greenbelt, MD
I mostly feed fresh raw food to my dogs and cats, but when I leave for work twice a week, I feed this product because it is almost as easy to serve as kibble and almost as high quality as fresh meat and vegetables.

Exporters and credit constraints. A firm-level approach
By building a theoretical model and taking it to the data with two novel datasets, this paper analyses the interaction between credit constraints and exporting behaviour. Building a heterogeneous firms model of international trade with liquidity-constrained firms yields several predictions on the equilibrium relationships between productivity, credit constraints and exports that are then verified in the data. The main findings of the paper are that firms are more likely to be exporting if they enjoy higher productivity levels and lower credit constraints. Also, credit constraints are important in determining the extensive but not the intensive margin of trade in terms of destinations. This introduces a pecking order of trade. Finally, an exchange rate appreciation will cause existing exporters to reduce their exports, entry of credit-constrained potential exporters and exit of the least productive exporters

Impact Players Still Teamless As Spring 2016 Begins
Although games aren't scheduled to be played until March 1st, for every baseball fan Spring Training officially begins when pitchers and catchers first report. Five clubs saw their pitchers and catchers report on Wednesday, with the remaining teams' hurlers and backstops trickling in over the next few days, leaving every team with their respective pitchers and catchers in camp by Sunday.
Therefore, baseball is finally back.
But for a number of free agent players who have yet to find homes so far this offseason, Spring Training is going to have to wait — at least for now. Before they can report to a camp, every free agent needs to come to terms with a team that they'll wind up calling home for the 2016 season.
Given, there's still over a month until the regular season, and most if not all of the free agents will sign before too long. But time is slowly running out. With that in mind, I thought I'd go over the free agent players still on the market, position by position, who are more than capable of still helping out a big league club, but have yet to sign for one reason or another.
Beginning with the starting pitching role, the best remaining free agent starter who remains up for grabs is Yovani Gallardo. While Gallardo has been linked to talks with the Orioles, he is still technically in play for all thirty clubs. Although he isn't going to be the ace of any team's staff, Gallardo is still a really good pitcher who you can count on for numerous innings (180+ for each of the past seven seasons) and will give his team a chance to win each and every night.
Appropriately following the starting pitcher in this post is the relief pitcher, with there being several quality reliever options remaining. The one that stands out the most to me, however, is Casey Janssen. He didn't have the best season in 2015, but a three year stretch from 2011-2013 saw him as one of the best relievers in the game. With him holding a career ERA of 3.63, Janssen doesn't immediately jump off the page, but he can be an asset to a number of teams.
Justin Morneau leads the pack of available free agent first basemen. After a 17-homer season back in 2014, Morneau only played in 49 games last season due to injuries which ultimately held his numbers down. But I look for Morneau to have a bounce back season in 2016, if he can be healthy. Although his days of dominating the first base position are likely over, the days of him being a solid player definitely aren't.
At second base, the only free agent left is Dan Uggla, making him the only option to discuss. I'm not sure what the future holds for Uggla, who was once one of the best second baseman in baseball. Uggla blasted 30+ homers for five straight seasons early in his career and has been an impactful player, but he hasn't had a very productive season since 2013. However, with all of that said, Uggla could surprise some people if given a chance.
David Freese manning the hot corner is something any team would want to see, but for some reason he has yet to be signed. Freese is a reliable third baseman who you can count on year in and year out to hit double digit homers and drive in runs in the majority of key situations. After all, Freese was the reason the Cardinals survived game six of the 2011 World Series and ultimately went on to win. He falls under the low risk, high reward type of player, and would be a nice pickup for any team.
The shortstop position is currently one of the weaker spots as far as free agents is concerned, but Ian Desmond is the big player of the group. Following a somewhat mixed departure from the Nationals, where Trea Turner looks ready to take over the shortstop role, Desmond has been linked to a number of teams this offseason but has yet to land anywhere. Even so, Desmond is still a valuable player, coming just one homer shy in 2015 of a fourth straight 20+ home run year.
As far as the outfield, there are a number of above average free agents still there for the taking. Looking merely at the position as a whole — not individually at right, left and center — the the top three free agent outfielders in my mind are Austin Jackson, Dexter Fowler and Marlon Byrd. They're each mid-to-upper .200's career hitters, and each had solid 2015 campaigns. For that reason, while they still remain without a team to call home, chances are they won't be that way for long and will have some amount of impact this coming season.
Despite every position previously mentioned having players available to sign, if your favorite team is in need of a catcher, they'll have to look for other options besides free agency. There are no remaining catchers on the market, making it the only position without a single player left. However, there are more than plenty of other positions to snag above average players from that can impact any roster.
As history has shown, the majority of free agents always wind up signing with a team, even if it takes until the very last second to do so. But now that Spring Training is upon us, they no longer have the luxury of sitting back and waiting for the right offer and the right time to arrive. With spring being the time teams find themselves and form chemistry each year, the time for free agents to begin their final pushes towards signing is now.
Nationals Lock Up Scherzer; World Series to Follow?
Patience is a virtue — especially in baseball.
Max Scherzer proved that on Wednesday afternoon by officially inking a seven-year, 210 million dollar contract with the Nationals that's set to keep him in D.C. through the 2021 season. Coming after Scherzer took the gamble of turning down a six-year, 144 million dollar offer from the Tigers last year, waiting things out until free agency, and betting on his abilities, paid off extremely well for him, with Scherzer netting a total of 66 million extra dollars.
But the money is well deserved, as Scherzer has quickly become one of the most feared pitchers in baseball. While Scherzer didn't start off his career with fantastic pitching performances — posting a 4.43 ERA over 33 starts with the Tigers in 2011 — over the past two seasons he's been one of the best. Going a combined 39-8 with a 3.04 ERA between 2013 and 2014, it's no mystery why the Nationals wanted Scherzer so badly.
Heading to D.C. after five years in Detroit, Scherzer's mega contract sits second all-time in amount given out to a pitcher, behind only Clayton Kershaw's 215 million dollar deal with the Dodgers. (Kershaw, however, is in a class all his own.)
Choosing to receive his contract over the next 14 years, coming out to 15 million a year, the structure of Scherzer's contract allows the Nats to use the money saved per season to lock up other talented players around him, making this an even better deal in the end.
With Scherzer joining a rotation that already consisted of Stephen Strasburg, Gio Gonzalez, Jordan Zimmermann and Doug Fister, the Nationals now have one of the best — if not THE best — rotations in baseball. (The Nationals also have a couple promising pitching prospects in A.J. Cole and Lucas Giolito in the minors who will be making major impacts over the coming years, so they will have additional pitching options for years to come.)
Although their bullpen could use some work after the loss of closer Rafael Soriano — there's still plenty of time to improve that aspect of the team — the Nationals' lineup is equally as talented as their pitching staff. From Ian Desmond and Anthony Rendon to Jayson Werth and Denard Span, along with a hopefully healthy Ryan Zimmerman and Bryce Harper, the Nationals are going to score a lot of runs.
With the Nats likely setting themselves up to produce runs night after night, and a rotation filled with pitchers capable of giving up a few mere runs a game, the Nationals have a nice combination that should lead them to a ton of wins in 2015.
After going 96-66 last year — good enough to earn Nats' skipper, Matt Williams, the National League Manager of the Year award — there is truly no reason they couldn't post a 100-win season this year. If that happens, it will make them the first team since the Phillies in 2011 to win 100+ games in a season.
And therefore, after winning the National League East division by a staggering 17 games a year ago, the Nationals could be looking at the same type of dominance in the foreseeable future. The Braves, who finished in second place for 2014, are in the process of rebuilding and currently seem to be out of the postseason picture for 2015, as do the Phillies who are theoretically trying to find their new identity. That leaves just the Marlins and the Mets to challenge the Nationals for the divisional title — though both teams, especially the Marlins, could make a big push towards the playoffs this year.
Even so, the Nationals are nearly a lock to make the postseason for the third time in four seasons, with an aforementioned 100-win season not completely out of the question. They have all the talent in the world, with great pitching and a good mix of young and veteran star players. But in the end, making the playoffs is only part of the goal. The one question on everyone's mind is whether or not the Nationals have enough with the addition of Max Scherzer to lead them to the World Series and a subsequent World Title?
The unfortunate truth is, only time will tell. All too often does a team expected to dominate fall into a slump and not do much of anything for the season, while a team that was predicted to go nowhere exceeds expectations and makes a playoff push. That's baseball. That's what makes things fun each and every season.
But regardless, I have to agree with the majority of people that the Nationals are going to be terrific, and therefore anything short of a World Series appearance for them would be a disappointment with all the promise they have of putting out an effective winning machine this season.
After all, it's that very expectation of winning (I'm sure the money was a factor as well) that ultimately led Scherzer to sign a deal with the Nationals, saying, "I think this team is capable of winning and winning a lot. When you look at near term and long term, this is an organization you want to be a part of . . . . I want to win and that's why I'm here."
With Max Scherzer now on board, it looks to be an exciting season in D.C.
2013 Silver Slugger Awards
The 2013 Silver Slugger award winners were announced last night on MLB Network. The Silver Slugger awards are given annually to the best offensive player at each position in both the American League and the National League, as determined by the coaches and managers of Major League Baseball.
The voters consider several offensive categories in selecting the winners, including batting average, slugging percentage and on-base percentage, in addition to coaches' and managers' general impressions of a player's overall offensive value. (Managers can not vote for their own players.)
This marks the 33rd annual Silver Slugger Awards which began in 1980.
Here are a list of the winners with my thoughts on each:
Most Silver Slugger Awards: Barry Bonds holds the record for the most Silver Slugger Awards as an outfielder, with twelve.
NL Winners: Michael Cuddyer (1st career), Jay Bruce (2nd career) and Andrew McCutchen (2nd career)
AL Winners: Torii Hunter (2nd career), Mike Trout (2nd career) and Adam Jones (1st career)
The National League saw Michael Cuddyer, Jay Bruce and Andrew McCutchen receiving Silver Slugger awards. All three are deserving, as they had great offensive years. This is just Michael Cuddyer's first Silver Slugger, despite being in the Majors for thirteen season. Adam Jones also receives his first career Silver Slugger, after batting .285 with 33 homers and 108 RBI's. In addition, Mike Trout and Torii Hunter pick up the award for the American League after great years.
Most Silver Slugger Awards: Todd Helton is tied with Albert Pujols for the most Silver Slugger Awards as a first baseman, with four.
NL Winner- Paul Goldschmidt (1st career)
AL Winner- Chris Davis (1st career)
Paul Goldschmidt and Chris Davis picked up their first career Silver Slugger awards for first base. They both led their respective league in home runs and RBI's in 2013, so it's not really a shock that they received the honor. Both have the potential to win more in their careers.
Most Silver Slugger Awards: Ryne Sandberg holds the record for the most Silver Slugger Awards as a second baseman, with seven.
NL Winner- Matt Carpenter (1st career)
AL Winner- Robinson Cano (5th career)
After a great breakout season, Matt Carpenter won his first career Silver Slugger award on Wednesday. Batting .318 with 13 home runs and 78 RBI's, Carpenter was a major impact player for the Cardinals this season — a big reason why they made it to the World Series. Robinson Cano picks up his fifth career Silver Slugger, with this being his fourth one in a row.
Most Silver Slugger Awards: Wade Boggs holds the record for the most Silver Slugger Awards as a third baseman, with eight.
NL Winner- Pedro Alvarez (1st career)
AL Winner- Miguel Cabrera (5th career)
Pedro Alvarez had a career season, leading to his first Silver Slugger award. Though his batting average was a mere .233, Alvarez hit 36 home runs and drove in 100 runs. Alvarez was a big part of the 2013 Pirates team and should remain so for years to come. Miguel Cabrera received the award for the American League, and it's no surprise at all. Cabrera hit .348 with 44 homers and 137 RBI's, nearly winning the Triple Crown for a second straight season. Truly remarkable.
Most Silver Slugger Awards: Barry Larkin holds the record for the most Silver Slugger Awards as a short stop, with nine.
NL Winner- Ian Desmond (2nd career)
AL Winner- J.J. Hardy (1st career)
Ian Desmond won his second consecutive Silver Slugger award last night, as he had another great year. On the AL side, this is J.J. Hardy's first career Silver Slugger — Derek Jeter won last year but was injured most of 2013 — and he was very deserving. Hardy didn't have a very high batting average at just .266, however, his 25 home runs and 76 RBI's put him over the top for the award.
Most Silver Slugger Awards: Mike Piazza holds the record for the most Silver Slugger Awards as a catcher, with ten.
NL Winner- Yadier Molina (1st career)
AL Winner- Joe Mauer (5th career)
Surprisingly, this is Yadier Molina's first career Silver Slugger award, despite multiple good seasons in the past. Molina batted .318 with 12 homers and 80 RBI's and is a true leader for the Cardinals. As with Molina, Joe Mauer is also a leader for his respective Twins, however, this makes his fifth Silver Slugger of his career; just his first since 2010.
Most Silver Slugger Awards: Mike Hampton holds the record for the most Silver Slugger Awards as a pitcher, with five.
Winner- Zack Greinke (1st career)
You don't often think of a pitcher with offensive skills, but Zack Greinke showed off his, and was the best hitting pitcher this past season. Batting .328 over the course of 58 at-bats, Greinke truly deserves this award and has the ability to win another one in the future.
Most Silver Slugger Awards: David Ortiz holds the record for the most Silver Slugger Awards as a Designated Hitter, with six.
Winner- David Ortiz (6th career)
David Ortiz is the record holder for most career Silver Sluggers as a DH, and he picked up yet another one for this season. Ortiz hit 30 home runs with 103 RBI's to go along with a .309 batting average. Ortiz was a big reason the Red Sox made it to the World Series, and ultimately led them to winning the Championship.
- There were nine first time Silver Slugger award winners.
- There were six Silver Slugger award winners that also won last year.
The Orioles had the most Silver Slugger winners, with three.
There were four Silver Slugger winners that also won a Gold Glove award this year.
Derek Jeter Returns; All-Star Final Vote Announced
After rehabbing a broken ankle for nearly nine months, Derek Jeter received a standing ovation on Thursday, in his first major league plate appearance since October of 2012. Reaching first, in his first at-bat of the game, on an infield single, Jeter showed all of the baseball world what he's been hoping to show for a long time: His ankle is fully healed.
The Yankees finally have their Captain back.
But it's going to take a lot more than the return of Jeter, who went 1-4 in his 2013 debut, for the Yankees to turn around what has been a downhill slide as of late. While they won in their first game with Jeter back, he's not the player he used to be, and they could use even more help.
But help is coming, in the form of Alex Rodriguez, who is currently down in the minors, working his way back from hip surgery. How much help he will provide is yet to be seen, but the Yankees are hopeful that A-Rod can return to even a portion of his former self.
Either way, I'm not counting out the Yankees just yet. I've had them making the playoffs since the beginning of the season, despite the majority of baseball fans thinking otherwise. It will be interesting to see how things play out after the All-Star break.
The rosters for the 2013 All-Star game were announced late last week, however, fans around the country have been voting all week long for the player they feel most deserved to receive the final spot for each league.
The candidates for the American League included Joaquin Benoit, Steve Delabar, David Robertson, Tanner Scheppers and Koji Uehara. The National League had Ian Desmond, Freddie Freeman, Adrian Gonzalez, Hunter Pence and Yasiel Puig. I was hoping to see David Robertson and Yasiel Puig make it in, but neither did.
It was announced Thursday afternoon that the winners of the All-Star game final vote were Steve Delabar and Freddie Freeman. While I'm not all that upset with either of them getting voted in, I disagree with Freeman over Puig. There's no player in the major leagues at the moment with more hype around him than Puig. I don't understand why he didn't make it in, other than maybe the fact that he's been in the big leagues for merely a month, but I'm really looking forward to watching the game, nonetheless.
The All-Star game is set to take place on Tuesday, July 16th, at Citi Field.

I bought 30 17.50 calls yesterday and would normally sell them on a pop like this. I'm thinking of converting the to stock and holding on for awhile. Seems like the bottom is in and there is way more potential to the upside and not much to the down side. Thoughts?
so your 29 and you have a birthdaycomming. happy 30th
Made 16 thousand in 30 days shorting eh????????
you have a pretty good profit not to have taken some off the table. You should buy some cheap puts to hedge yourself if you are so inclined or you can sell some of the calls and roll up into 25 calls if you feel this bullish.You have to remember that the continuation of the economic collapse of 2007-2008 is imminent plus the company did guide eps lower than street estimates which is worrisome in that they could be stuffing the channel in terms of product.Sandbagging is one thing but beating huge and guiding lower than estimates is odd behavior. The accumulation/ distribution charts showed short covering in morning with distribution and renewed shorting later on.30% moves in one day on beats and downward eps guidance usually retrace so I recommend cautious protection.
Thanks for the sound advice. I agree it is a little greedy not to sell at least half if not all on a pop like this. The way the day trended though makes me think there might be more short covering to go. Kind of reminds me of when Amazon gapped up to 120 and then drifted up to 140. The more people that short it on the pop end up keeping it a float. I waited a long time for Blue Nile to come down. Another high P/E high short interest stock that floated up for a long time.Cheers!

I loved this! There is something so fun about Chanel having a sense of humor.
I didn't post re the Dior film, but wanted to say that it was really forced, IMO. They are clearly competing with Chanel, which is fine, but I'd rather see them do something original. Copying Chanel is not becoming and, in my eyes, makes Chanel look better.

This is fabulous! Chanel never ceases to amaze me!!! LOVE IT!

Death in the City of Light is the gripping, true story of a brutal serial killer who unleashed his own reign of terror in Nazi-Occupied Paris. As decapitated heads and dismembered body parts surfaced in the Seine, Commissaire Georges-Victor Massu, head of the Brigade Criminelle, was tasked with tracking down the elusive murderer in a twilight world of Gestapo, gangsters, resistance fighters, pimps, prostitutes, spies, and other shadowy figures of the Parisian underworld.
The main suspect was Dr. Marcel Petiot, a handsome, charming physician with remarkable charisma. He was the "People's Doctor," known for his many acts of kindness and generosity, not least in providing free medical care for the poor. Petiot, however, would soon be charged with twenty-seven murders, though authorities suspected the total was considerably higher, perhaps even as many as 150.
Who was being slaughtered, and why? Was Petiot a sexual sadist, as the press suggested, killing for thrills? Was he allied with the Gestapo, or, on the contrary, the French Resistance? Or did he work for no one other than himself? Trying to solve the many mysteries of the case, Massu would unravel a plot of unspeakable deviousness.
When Petiot was finally arrested, the French police hoped for answers.
But the trial soon became a circus. Attempting to try all twenty-seven cases at once, the prosecution stumbled in its marathon cross-examinations, and Petiot, enjoying the spotlight, responded with astonishing ease. His attorney, René Floriot, a rising star in the world of criminal defense, also effectively, if aggressively, countered the charges. Soon, despite a team of prosecuting attorneys, dozens of witnesses, and over one ton of evidence, Petiot's brilliance and wit threatened to win the day.
Drawing extensively on many new sources, including the massive, classified French police file on Dr. Petiot, Death in the City of Light is a brilliant evocation of Nazi-Occupied Paris and a harrowing exploration of murder, betrayal, and evil of staggering proportions.

I'd advise Trump to stick to some nice, safe evangelical church this week — somewhere that doesn't use the lectionary shared by most of the world's Christians. I'm sure he can get his new fundie friends to recommend some local church that would be better-suited for him. Someplace more hospitable to Trump's central campaign theme of inhospitality.
Some nice, safe white evangelical church, in other words, where Trump won't have to worry about encountering a God who might be trying to tell him something. [Read more…]

Internet Connected Toys
February 23, 2016
Before the holidays, I wrote an essay about Hello Barbie and Internet-connected toys for Salon.
Check it out:
"My stomach hurts when I think about some computer-stuffed doll replacing my role in her imaginary games. Every morning, I follow in my daughter's wake during these epic play sessions, carried back to the imaginary places I used to visit as a kid.
"But these toys are truly the future. Toy and app makers have created thousands of digital doodads to replace imaginary friends and real-life play with parents. From virtual reality goggles to talking dolls to solitary apps, digital toys threaten to destroy make-believe play traditionally shared between caregivers and kids.

Today we are having a day-long workshop to plan for an ALS Festival in September 26. It is sponsored by Enet, the education campaign network on EFA (Education For All).
It's only recently that NGOs in the Philippines have included ALS or Alternative Learning System in their vocabulary. In 1986, soon after getting out of prison, I helped convene a series of consultations on our education work, and the term we adopted and popularized was popular education or "pop-ed." That seems to have spread, at least among social activists and development workers. A young person from the Cordillera even used it to re-baptize me. Since I had been laicized and was not "Father Ed" anymore, he said friends should call me "Pop-Ed."
Popular education is usually located within social movements and development processes, linked to community organizing or CO – another keyword in NGO vocabulary. Within popular education, the Education for Life Foundation (ELF), which I helped establish, chose to focus on grassroots leadership formation.
Sometimes we refer to our work on grassroots leadership formation as "alternative higher education." After all, grassroots leaders e.g. barangay council members, coop leaders etc. need more than basic education.
Enet was organized to insure civil society participation in achieving EFA. When ELF was asked to join, I wondered how we could best contribute. We were and still are not into the reform of formal basic education. We were mainly involved in the education of adults, rather than children.
The education data helped define our place in Enet and EFA. It was quite a shock to learn that of every 100 children who enroll in Grade One, only 45 manage to graduate from fourth year high school. Obviously the formal system of basic education (primary and secondary) serves less than half of the chidlren and youth. There is even an acronym for those outside the system – OSY, out of school youth.
What should be done? What can we do?
One way is to reform and improve the performance of the formal, school-based system, to reduce drop outs and to improve quality. One good news is that there are many more education advocates who are into this – from LGUs mobilized by Synergeia, to parents and teachers getting more involved in school-based management.
This is what Mayor Jessie Robredo of Naga City told me when I was evaluating them for the National Literacy Awards. His point was that optimizing the performance of the formal system will lessen the drop outs and give us a more realistic sense of how many really need ALS. He pioneered in "re-engineering the Local School Board" which improved the education outcomes in Naga City public schools.
But even with optimum performance from the school-based system, there will be those who for other reasons – poverty, part-time work, early pregnancy, different learning styles – cannot go through the usual Monday to Friday, morning till afternoon school routine. They need another way to learn. That's where ALS comes in.
Fortunately the DepEd has done something about ALS. Financed by an ADB loan, it has produced 150 modules for self-study and group-study, and has set up an assesment system that makes it possible for out of school youth to learn and get the equivalent of a high school diploma. At the ALS Festival, we will exchange our experiences in implementing ALS, and discuss ways of improving and expanding our work.
That's ALS for basic education. But there is also ALS for higher education. In fact, in the framework of lifelong learning, we need to recognize and develop many ways of learning.

Military Bases:
Review of DOD's 1998 Report on Base Realignment and Closure
NSIAD-99-17: Published: Nov 13, 1998. Publicly Released: Nov 13, 1998.
Additional Materials:
- Full Report:
(202) 512-8412
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
Pursuant to a legislative requirement, GAO reviewed the Department of Defense's (DOD) report on the costs and savings attributable to the rounds of base realignments and closures (BRAC), focusing on: (1) the costs and savings of prior BRAC rounds and estimated costs and savings of future BRAC rounds; (2) the impact of prior BRAC rounds on military capabilities, excess capacity, base reuse and economic recovery of communities affected by BRAC actions; and (3) processes DOD would use to select bases for closure and realignments should further BRAC rounds be authorized.
GAO noted that: (1) DOD's report to Congress provided most, but not all, of the information required in section 2824 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 1998; (2) in selected instances, usually because data were not available, DOD either did not provide the information required or did not provide it in the level of specificity required; (3) DOD's report concludes that the four prior BRAC rounds, taken in aggregate, are saving DOD billions of dollars annually; (4) GAO's prior work examining BRAC cost and savings and related issues affirms that past BRAC recommendations will result in substantial savings once implementation costs have been offset and net savings begin to accrue; (5) however, because of data and records weaknesses, DOD's report should be viewed as providing a rough approximation of costs and savings rather than a precise accounting; (6) DOD's data systems do not capture all savings associated with BRAC actions, nor has DOD established a separate system to track BRAC savings; (7) DOD's estimates of costs and savings for future BRAC rounds should also be viewed as rough estimates because there is no assurance that the cost and savings experiences from prior BRAC rounds will be precisely replicated in the future; (8) because the methodology used to identify excess capacity has a number of limitations, DOD's report gives only a rough indication that excess capacity has increased relative to force structure since 1989; (9) however, other DOD studies, statements by DOD officials, and GAO's prior work support the report's general conclusion that DOD continues to retain excess capacity; (10) GAO's work has shown this to be the case, particularly in maintenance depots and in research, development, test, and evaluation facilities; (11) DOD's analysis of operational and readiness indicators have shown no long-term problems affecting military capabilities that can be related to BRAC actions; (12) this general conclusion is also consistent with GAO's prior work; (13) DOD's report emphasizes that communities affected by prior BRAC actions appear to be rebounding economically; (14) GAO also found this to be the case, although its work also shows that some communities are faring better than others; (15) DOD's report suggests that proposed BRAC rounds in 2001 and 2005 would be conducted like prior rounds; and (16) DOD's legislative proposal requesting authority to conduct two additional BRAC rounds provides a good starting point for considering future legislation, should Congress decide to authorize additional rounds.

Cowboys and Angels - DVD
Type: Event | Date: Tuesday, Jan 5, 2010Writer-director Gregory C. Haynes serves up a down-home twist on the traditional romantic comedy with this tale of a 30-something lawyer who starts to feel the marriage bug. Danny (Adam Trese) still harbors dreams of becoming a cowboy when his fiancée leaves him on the eve of their wedding ceremony. Luckily, not one, but two women come along to ease his suffering: the bubbly Jo Jo (High Art's Radha Mitchell) and the more traditional Candice (Mia Kirshner).
