Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on Wednesday downplayed State Department internal e-mails regarding the deadly attack on the diplomatic mission in Benghazi on September 11th, reported by Reuters, and Fox News by telling the AP, "Posting something on Facebook is not in and of itself evidence." Clinton added, "I think it just underscores how fluid the reporting was at the time and continued for some time to be."
The e-mails contradict not only the administration's narrative that they were given bad intelligence about the nature of the attack that took the lives of four Americans, but also that the attack was incited by an obscure online video, uploaded by a Southern California resident, that was found to be offensive to Muslims.
It is not shocking that the Obama administration is defaulting to its usual Bart Simpson "I didn't do it. Nobody saw me do it. There's no way you can prove anything" response, even when they are caught red-handed.
The administration knew very well just how dangerous a situation they were putting their diplomatic staffs located in Libya in well before the 9/11 anniversary attack. In fact, on August 27 the State Department's Bureau of Consular Affairs put out the following warning to Americans who may have had plans to travel to Libya at the time: (bolding is mine)
The Department of State warns U.S. citizens against all but essential travel to Libya. The incidence of violent crime, especially carjacking and robbery, has become a serious problem. In addition, political violence in the form of assassinations and vehicle bombs has increased in both Benghazi and Tripoli. This Travel Warning replaces the Travel Warning dated September 22, 2011, and notes the resumption of full consular services to U.S. citizens on August 27, 2012.
Libyans cast ballots on July 7 in elections deemed to be free and fair according to election observers. Libya's General National Congress replaced the Transitional National Council in August 2012 and will lead the country until elections are held on the basis of a new constitution. Despite this progress, violent crime continues to be a problem in Tripoli, Benghazi, and other parts of the country. In particular, armed carjacking and robbery are on the rise.
In addition, political violence, including car bombings in Tripoli and assassinations of military officers and alleged former regime officials in Benghazi, has increased. Inter-militia conflict can erupt at any time or any place in the country. Seven Iranian Red Crescent officials were kidnapped July 31 in Benghazi by local militia members, and as of the date of this warning, they have not been released. There have also been several reports of militias briefly apprehending and detaining foreigners due to perceived or actual violations of Libyan law. The Embassy's ability to intervene in such cases remains limited, as these groups are neither sanctioned nor controlled by the Libyan government.
The seven Iranian Red Crescent workers were eventually released, the AFP reported, on October 6 and left Libya for Turkey, where they were scheduled to return to Iran. It is important to remember that the obscure video the administration blamed for inciting the attacks was online since July of this year.
So why did the State Department continue to ignore Ambassador Stevens when he repeatedly asked for more security personnel, when their own department had already warned Americans about traveling to Libya two weeks before?
In the meantime, Mark Basseley Youssef sits in a California jail for uploading a video President Obama, U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice, and Sec. of State Clinton falsely blamed for this whole mess.

Building a cloud operating environment with no single point of failure and distributed production storage means that Joyent can deliver an industry leading 99.999% uptime record and stand behind a 100% cloud uptime guarantee. Learn More.
In today's world, page load times can often mean the difference between viral user growth and rapid decline.
Ecommerce companies are beginning to take advantage of the untapped potential of caching content in the load balancing layer they already have running in the public cloud, augmenting traditional CDN usage. Joyent and Riverbed have partnered to expand upon the edge-caching capabilities that cloud load balancers contain and launched the Content Delivery Cloud, an on demand service that in minutes can start serving content to your site faster and at 1/5th the cost of a traditional CDN. Learn More.
When the Joyent engineering team set out to build a next generation object storage service they looked to the Ecommerce industry and common challenges that existed.
For example, a traditional image processing workflow in the Ecommerce world requires a storage repo for the images and a separate compute service to process the images, using a tremendous amount of time, money, and data transfer. With Joyent Manta, we uniquely marry the two functions in a single converged Map/Reduce and analytics service. This single store of record for all media includes an embedded compute facility for in-place image and video post-processing. Now a "reformat", "crop" or "resize" is only an API call away. And, with Manta's built in Map/Reduce function, logs can be processed in near real-time, providing key insight into customer experience metrics for a fraction of the normal cost. Learn More.

It's nearing the end of the year, and throughout 2012, Wauwatosa has had the privilege of watching some amazing people doing great things.
People have helped Wauwatosa in many ways – some with their hands on, here, to keep building an even better community, some by representing the generous spirit of Wauwatosa well beyond its borders.
There was Assistant Fire Chief Jim Case, who went as part of a volunteer emergency medical assistance team to help the sick and injured in New Jersey and New York for three weeks after Hurricane Sandy ravaged the coast.
There is Sarah Lerand, who as a McKinley Elementary parent has worked tirelessly for the cause of Safe Routes to School for Wauwatosa's children and who, with the ceaseless help and expertise of Ald. Jeff Roznowski, just won a major state grant to greatly advance that cause.
In a related effort, freshman Ald. Joel Tilleson personally saw to it that school safety measures for a dangerous stretch of Wauwatosa Avenue near Longfellow School were implemented a full year before expectations – and before this school year began.
There's John Gee, the executive director of the nacsent Forestry Exploration Center, who revised all his previous plans and came forward with the only potentially viable proposal to save the historic Eschweiler Buildings – and the unstoppable Denise Lindberg (already a Distinguished Citizen of Wauwatosa) and Peggy Rozenzweig, who immediately stepped up next to him to help.
There is Alicia Bartz, as just one standout representative among of a host of Lincoln Elementary School parents who rushed to the aid of the Birk family when their daughter, Kaylen, was diagnosed with a rare and fatal brain disease.
And there is always Chris Leffler, who never stops giving back to Wauwatosa, and who in the case of Kaylen Birk's illness stepped up once again to donate richly of his time, money and talents for a community fundraiser that drew (and fed) 1,500 people.
Those are just a few of the good people and causes written about in Wauwatosa Patch so far this year.
But we know there are people doing good that we at Patch never heard about.
There are those who daily work for the good of Wauwatosa's children, its elderly, its sick and its poor and hungry.
Those who work at the Medical College of Wisconsin and Froedtert Hospital, not only saving lives today but doing the advanced research that will improve and save more lives in the future.
There are business people making informed but still possibly risky decisions every day toward creating jobs and growth to keep Wauwatosa vigorously on the path to progress even during challenging economic times.
And there are, of course, as in any year, police officers and firefighters who constantly put their lives on the line for Wauwatosa's citizens but seldom get recognition by name.
This December, we'd like your help determing the Wauwatosa Patch person – or persons – of the year. You may nominate anyone who lives, works or volunteers in town. But nominations close at 9 a.m. Dec. 13, so submit your picks now.
There are two ways to nominate someone:
Fill out the form above. We're asking for the person's name, why you think they should be Person of the Year, and a way to contact them. We also need your name and a way to contact you. This information will be sent only to Patch, and contact information will not be published.
Or, you can nominate someone in the comments section below, once you've signed up for and are logged in to your Patch account. If you choose to use the comments to make your nomination, please give us the person's name and why you think they should be person of the year, but don't put in specific contact information. Instead, use the person's name and enough detail so we could track them down. (For example: "The neighbor boy who rakes my leaves all fall" isn't enough for us to go on, but "Mrs. Johnson at Jefferson Elementary who helped the third grade class with a great volunteer opportunity" would be a great starting point.)
Once nominations close at 9 a.m. Dec. 13, Patch editors will go through all submissions and choose a person (or people) or the year. Stories will start running Dec. 26.

Unique Foreign-Disk CleanupWhen a PC is horribly infested with malware an expert might choose to take out the hard drive and mount it in another machine for cleanup. Avast! Rescue Disc is the only product I've seen that can actually clean up Registry traces on a foreign disk, although, as noted, it only goes for the most important such traces.
I tested this feature by attaching one infested test system's virtual hard drive as a secondary drive to a clean test system. I intended to just scan the secondary drive, but when I attempted to scan Selected Folders the product reported a run-time error. Experts at Avast acknowledge this problem and plan a fix within a month.
I wound up just scanning all local drives (the default). Afterward I verified that the "foreign" drive was cleaned exactly the same as when I ran avast! directly on that test system. That's an impressive feat.
System CleanupThe Rescue Disc does more than just clean up malware. It includes a variety of other tools that might be useful, some just for experts and some for the average user.
The Registry cleaner tool seeks useless and erroneous entries in Registry areas such as uninstall information and registered file types. On completing its scan it lets the user choose which to delete. If the cleanup causes problems, you can use the tool to reverse it. Like the antivirus scan, this tool works on any Registry. You simply choose which Windows installation you want to process.
The Junk File Remover and Disk Checker tools also work on any installed drive. Disk Checker works like Windows's own CHKDSK, while Junk File Remover deletes Internet Explorer browsing traces and specified types of temporary files. As with the Registry cleaner you get a chance to review the found items and choose which will be deleted.
Advanced FeaturesThe product includes a Registry editor that can edit the Registry for any Windows operating system on any drive in the system. This is a feature aimed at experts, but in the right hands it could prove invaluable for investigating and fixing Registry-related problems in a non-bootable system.
Most users don't really know how to interpret the Event Viewer in Windows, or what to do with the Services tool. For advanced users, the Rescue Disc makes both of these tools available for any Windows installation on the system, including a drive temporarily mounted for examination and cleanup.
When you select either tool you get the same "Select file with Registry" window that's used when choosing a foreign Registry to edit or clean. Once you've made your selection you can view all Windows events, perhaps to help identify the reason the troubled system won't boot. You can also peruse the list of Windows services and, if necessary, disable any service on the list. Don't use this tool without knowledge, as disabling the wrong service can disable Windows completely.
Not for NewbiesAvast! Rescue Disc offers features not found in any similar product. In particular, it offers full access to the Registry, Windows Events, and Services on any Windows installation. It can also scan and clean a "foreign" hard disk taken from another computer.
It didn't score super-high in my cleanup tests, but it very likely would do enough to bring a non-bootable system back to life. However, it's definitely a hands-on solution, intended for power users. If that describes you, I'd recommend adding this tool to your arsenal.

Chimney at church has to be demolished (From The Bolton News)
Chimney at church has to be demolished
8:48am Monday 31st December 2012 in News
LISTED building consent is being sought to demolish a chimney at the Church of St John the Evangelist in Wingates.
An application has been submitted to Bolton Council's planning committee to remove a 1940s chimney on the chancel wall on the north side of the building in Chorley Road.
The chimney is no longer used and, according to the plans, demolishing it would restore the Grade II-listed building, which dates back to 1858, to its original appearance.
The planning application would also allow experts to reach an area of the church which is a suspected source of damp.
The application said: "The brick chimney is a later addition to the building and out of keeping with the character of the rest of the building. The area of damp on the interior of the north facing wall of the chancel cannot be left unattended.
"Remedial action is urgently required to halt the damp from spreading further."

Leach captures two titles at Westlake tournament
Top-seeded Rick Leach of Newport Beach played a flawless first set and went on to defeat third-seeded Leland Rolling of Ramona 6-0, 6-4 in the championship match of the USTA National Men's 45 Hard Court Championships on Sunday at the Westlake Tennis & Swim Club.
Leach, a five-time Grand Slam doubles champion, did not drop a set en route to winning the tournament. Rolling had won all his matches in straight sets en route to reaching the final.
Shortly after the conclusion of the singles final, Leach returned to the court to join partner Gregory Washer of Laguna Beach in the doubles final. In that match, second-seeded Leach and Washer defeated the unseeded team of Robert Green of San Diego and Michael Kovar of St. Louis 6-3, 6-1.
Leach and Washer did not drop a set in their three doubles matches, dropping just 16 games.

More Mosquito Samples in RI Test Positive for EEE
Test results from two mosquito pools in Rhode Island have come back positive for Eastern Equine Encephalitis. This is the second time EEE has been confirmed in the state this year.
The samples came from traps set in Tiverton and Westerly. The Department of Environmental Management says the findings aren't surprising for this time of year, and it's likely that EEE is present in other parts of the state.
Furthermore, two mosquito pools in Tiverton and Hopkinton have confirmed positive results for Highlands J Virus, that virus is a bird disease that doesn't affect humans.
So far this year, four pools of mosquitoes have tested positive for West Nile Virus, and three pools for EEE. There have been no reported cases of either virus in humans.
In other New England states, there has been one confirmed human case of West Nile in Massachusetts and one death from EEE in Vermont.

Sunderland winger Stephane Sessegnon insists they can upset Chelsea.
The Benin striker still believes they are there for the taking today.
And that despite the Black Cats' own shocking record of just two wins in 22 league games.
Sessegnon, 28, said: "Perhaps this is the best moment to receive Chelsea. Both teams are obliged to win and the game will be intense and passionate.
"The Chelsea game is so important. They arrive here with so many problems in the league — and they've been knocked out of the Champions League.
"Three points are vital for us as we also face Manchester United, City and Tottenham before the New Year."

Women trying to get pregnant may want to toss their ovulation kits and check their wardrobes.
In a study released Tuesday, U.S. researchers said women seemed to dress sexier when they were ovulating.
The University of California Los Angeles and the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire conducted the study of that found women put more effort into their appearance when they approached ovulation.
The study of young college women found that the women frequently wore more fashionable or flashier clothing and jewelry when they were ovulating.
They also tended to wear skirts instead of pants and wore more revealing clothing.
The research is detailed in the online edition of Hormones and Behavior, the official journal of the Society for Behavioral Neuroendocrinology.

People forget that you played a cop – a good one – in New Jack City. Nobody came and pinned a medal on you for that.
Well, you know, bad news travels so much quicker than good news. To play the cop in New Jack, I had to do a lot of apologizing to my hard-core fans. Me playing that was sacrilegious in the ghetto. "Why did you have to be a cop? You could have hated dope, we all hate dope, but why do you got to give credit to the Man? Why couldn't you have just been a brother that went out there and handled it?" I had to tell them it wasn't my movie. I had to get in the movie, and this is the laws of Hollywood: The only way you can run around with a gun is to be a cop.
The attitude toward police from my followers has always been the same. I don't hate all police, and everybody knows that, it's just a matter of certain ones that are police for the wrong reasons. I was talking to a friend of mine this morning, a young lady, and she wants to get into law enforcement. She said, "I know you don't want to hear that," but I'm like "Well, it's not that. I know you want to do the right thing, you want to help people, and that's cool. But once you get in there, you'll see all the corruption that's inside that particular brotherhood of police. There's somebody in there that gets high or, you know, somebody who's in there that's shot somebody, while you're steadily putting people in jail. Then you're going to be more of a criminal than anybody on the street."
Have you gotten a harder time from the police since you've made it?
It's not worse or better. I still get the same treatment, only now I'm not afraid of them, because I have lawyers. I'm not as frightened because, by having a little more money, I know they can't hold me. But I still have the fear of being killed. I know that any cop can take me like at night when I'm alone and driving, coming from the studio, if I see a cop pull up behind me, I really am afraid that they might just decide they don't like me and pull out that backup gun they carry and shoot me, then say I pulled a gun on them or something. I'm afraid of them still, to an extent.
Aside from this issue, there's so much focus on politics and rap. Does it feel like that's all you get to talk about?
I just wish people would listen to what I say. When I first came out, I had to totally open the door to South Central. People were not aware that there were kids down there talking about this shit. Now you've seen Boyz n the Hood, you've heard a hundred groups from Compton, you know I'm not the only one. But when I first came out, I was a "liar," you know. Now when people look at it, they say, "There's a hundred kids saying this, he couldn't possibly be lying, he must be telling the truth."
How much do you think this response to the record has to do with the riots?
That's what it's all about. The theory that this record was put out after the riot is one of the first ideas that people had gotten, but they were way off. They initially thought Warner jumped on this riot thing and put this record out, but that was untrue. The record was written and released before.
It's impossible for somebody who doesn't live it to understand it. That might sound macho or some old bullshit, but it's just how it is. If you ain't really been fucked over by the police, you can't have the same hatred, and if you're looking to understand the anger in the voice of the rapper, you never will unless you live it. And then if you live it, it doesn't seem as angry. My real anger sounds much madder than the voice I put on that record.
Did the riots change your attitudes?
The riots are the consequence I was talking about. The government has a check and balance game: Do wrong, consequences; do wrong, consequences. This is how they play. You speed, you go to jail. You're drunk, you go to jail. The people cannot issue a consequence against the government. When they do wrong, what do we do? How many people have filed civil suits against the police and won? So what L.A. did was say, "You all been bad, check this out," and we issued a consequence. In New York just the other night they shot somebody, people issued a consequence. One way or another it's going to get through that you guys might be the system and we might be the people but every time the system flicks up, we're going to reach out and touch you. It's only right. And every time when the LAPD whup on somebody now, they take their chance on starring another riot. Maybe it'll make them think.
I totally predict that if we don't listen, people are going to move to bloodshed. I know from listening to the homeys and the people in the street, if they do not see justice, then they are going to move, and this time it's going to be on more than inanimate objects. They're going to hurt some people. So are we going to get some justice? Are you going to send some of these killer cops to jail, show people that everybody is responsible under the law? Or are you going to show them that the law doesn't work? And in that case, why should they respect any of the laws?
There's a lot of shit I don't really like, like speaking on yet, it's still too heavy. They really got to know that I got a lot more shit heavier to say than "Cop Killer." People are truly fed up, man. You got to remember that half the people in the ghetto got somebody who's in jail, and then they see these people walk free. Their cousin and uncle and daddy's locked up for some bullshit, and then they see these politicians getting away with it. They're just fed up. They're going to do whatever they see fit.
America somebody needs to hit a reset button on this whole place, try to get everybody in check. People just have to be aware. People out there say, "Oh, the riot, that's over with." If you think it's over with, you are so sadly mistaken. You are tripping. You just do not know how quick motherfuckers are ready to flip again. They are ready. I mean ready, like let's do it tomorrow. They found out that they can do it, and if it goes down, LAPD really can't hold them. I pray to God that somehow some miracle will happen to give some form of justice.
What would help turn the situation around?
All they want is fairness. When they put mikes in the kids' faces out there in the street, they asked, "Why are you out here?" "Yo, man, the way that decision came down, they just told the cops it was okay to beat on somebody's black head, and they won't go to jail." That was the message they got. I was mad, my friends were mad. I live in West Hollywood, and I had guys up here we had to literally hold back. There was tears in people's eyes. It just ain't cool. It just ain't cool.
It's obviously too soon to say, but can we talk about a legacy from the riots yet or are we still in the middle of it?
We're in the middle of it my situation right now is part of the riots. It's like now they're attempting to regain control: "Okay, that was crazy. Now wait a minute, there's a record over here saying go head up with cops, let's shut that down. Let's move on Sister Souljah, she said let's kill white people." But all they're doing is solidifying bases. The only difference between us and them is we'll always be okay 'cause we're on the right side. We don't want more, we just want fairness you see what I'm saying? Even the cop killer in my song doesn't want more, he just wants to get even.
This country was founded on the things I talk about. I learned it in school. Paul Revere was running around saying, "The redcoats is coming," so he was basically saying, "Here come the pigs, and a fuckup is going down." We had a revolution or else we would be under the queen at this moment. That was a revolutionary thought, and those were very honorable thoughts in those days, the Boston Tea Party, all that shit. We just celebrated July 4th, which is really just national Fuck the Police Day. And "The Star-Spangled Banner" is a song about a hell of a shootout with the police. You can call them troops, whatever you want, but basically they're police from the other side. I bet back during the Revolutionary War, there were songs similar to mine. If you want to look at it, I guess the cop killer is the first soldier in the war who decides, "Hey, it's time to go out there and be aggressive, and I'm moving against them."

Hi Robert, Do you realize that NPTv6 _is_ an ID/LOC split solution? The external addresses are locators, much like the outer header addresses in LISP, and the internal addresses are IDs, much like the inner header addresses in LISP. The tunnel is compressed away through the use of algorithmic, 1:1 translation. NPTv6 has a great advantage over LISP and other tunnel-based ID/LOC solutions in that the packet format of NPTv6 packets remains fully backward compatible with IPv6, allowing for full incremental deployment (one site can deploy it, without losing connectivity to anyone) through seamless backward-compatibility with existing IPv6 implementations. An NPTv6-aware end-node within an NPTv6 site could "un-do" the translation of internal addresses within its own stack, so that applications on the end-node would actually be using their own external addresses, rather than their internal addresses. If this were widely implemented, it could restore end-to-end transparency, eliminating the need for ALGs and restoring the ability to do third-party referrals by IP address, etc. To enable this translation, the end node would need to be configured with its own external prefix(es), perhaps via DHCPv6 or IPv6 RAs. Of course, IPv4 NAT can also be viewed as an ID/LOC split solution. In fact, the advantages of an ID/LOC split solution (address independence, avoiding renumbering, internal topology hiding, etc.) are the main drivers for the wide-spread deployment of IPv6 NAT in enterprises. In most casts, those enterprises already have sufficient IPv4 "swamp space" to number their internal networks, or would have no difficulty getting sufficient IPv4 addresses from their ISP, so their use of NAT is _not_ motivated by an IPv4 address shortage. The major problems with IPv4 NA(P)T are caused by port mapping/address sharing and state-based (vs. algorithmic) translation, both of which were eliminated in NPTv6. It is possible, though, that these issues could be (at least partially) addressed through the use of PCP (the Port Control Protocol) on an IPv4 NAT-aware end-node. In fact, if we can briefly set aside our distaste for NAT-based solutions, I think we'll realize that NAT-based ID/LOC solutions (such as NPTv6) have several advantages over tunnel-based ID/LOC solutions (such as LISP), particularly in the areas of incremental deployment and backwards compatibility. Unfortunately, it is not clear that the market cares enough about end-to-end transparency to fund the development of NPTv6 or IPv4 NAT-aware end-nodes, because while end-to-end transparency is something that we in the IETF hold dear, it does not have enough practical value for Internet-connected enterprises that they have been willing to incur any cost or inconvenience to maintain it. In fact, in many cases, they prefer _not_ to have it.

If the question in your mind is "Who is the Mob?" you will want to catch "Step Up Revolution." It opened on July 27 in both 2D and 3D.
Have you seen the film? Leave your review in the comments below.
In this feature, Ryan Guzman leads an organized, choreographed flash mob through town shooting scenes to upload to a YouTube competition in an attempt to win a large amount of cash. Romance sparks when Sean meets Emily (Kathryn McCormick), the daughter of a wealthy businessman, who is in town for the summer and dreams of becoming a dancer.
The reviews on this one are mixed so you'll have to make up your own mind.
Here is what some top critics are saying about this new release:
"Step Up Revolution" taps into the dance "flash mob" phenomenon and moves to Miami to give us the sunniest and most entertaining of these kids-gotta-dance musicals." – Roger Moore, McClatchy-Tribune News Service
"Revolution's mix of choreography, contrasting modern dance and street-style performance that incorporates hip-hop, step, acrobatic moves and Cirque du Soleil-style aerial stunts, forms an energetic, constantly shifting mosaic." – Justin Lowe, Hollywood Reporter
"Step Up: Revolution" is the fourth of the "Step Up" movies, a series of unconnected stories that serve as showcases for the kinds of young stars who sincerely hope they'll soon be in better movies. – Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun Times
"But as wonky as the film may be, its anything-goes attitude can be infectious, never more so than in a climactic routine that simply throws everything against the wall, not waiting around to see if it sticks." – Andrew Barker, Variety
This movie is rated PG-13 for language and scenes with suggestive dancing.

Hughes gives the Yanks the most optionsBy
In the finale of his fifth starter series, Mike listed a number of good reasons why Phil Hughes should start the season in the rotation. He probably has a stronger case than both A.J. Burnett and Freddy Garcia if we consider only the role of fifth starter. This competition, though, is about more than just a single role on the starting staff. It's about maximizing resources. The Yankees have three pitchers capable of handling that role. Their task is to figure out how to use all three to realize peak value.
In terms of flexibility, Hughes offers the Yankees more than both Garcia and Burnett. He has roughly 10 times the number of innings in relief than Garcia and Burnett combined, and he has fared extremely well in that role. Through 56.1 innings across 49 appearances, Hughes has produced the following numbers:
Even if we regressed these numbers a bit, since Hughes hasn't pitched the equivalent of a full season in the bullpen, he'd still come out looking like a setup man at worst. While he might produce the most overall value in a starting role, the Yankees as a team might better deploy their resources, at least in terms of 2012, by using Hughes in the bullpen and one of Burnett and Garcia as the fifth starter. Combined with Hughes's spotty track record as a starter and the Yankees' depth in terms of back of the rotation pitchers, they could certainly choose to move Hughes now.
Hughes could also provide value to the Yankees via trade. Considering his age and salary, they could certainly get more in return for Hughes than they could for Burnett or Garcia. If they're looking for a player they could use as the primary DH in 2012, and perhaps as an outfielder or DH in the future, they could use Hughes as trade bait.
The issue here is that Hughes is at the nadir of his value. In the early years he retained top prospect status, even though his performance disappointed. Even after 2010, despite his rough finish, he had more value than he does now. While the Yankees might be able to obtain a worthwhile player in exchange for Hughes, it's still not good business to sell low on a relatively young player.
Looking around the league, though, there don't seem to be many players available who 1) could help the Yankees' current situation, and 2) cost little more than Hughes and a mid-level prospect. Teams do place their own values on players, so perhaps there is a match somewhere out there. But taking what we know, any match appears rough. Perhaps a reclamation project could make sense, but it's hard to see the Yankees getting a legitimate bat in exchange for Hughes by himself.
While Hughes does present a solid case to take over the fifth starter job, the Yankees as a team might benefit more by using him in another role. He has a far better bullpen track record than Burnett and Garcia, and has more value to other teams in a trade. This could lead the Yankees to use him in one of those two capacities, while trotting out Burnett or Garcia every five days. It might not be an ideal situation, but it's the one they have right now. As we've said since the Pineda trade and the Kuroda signing, it's the best of problems to have.

Really ?
I don't think anyone should discount that fact that Burnett could be good in a bullpen role too. His velocity easily could tick up to 94-95 letting it fly for one inning and the fact that he only has 2 pitches shouldn't be a problem in the pen either. Plus he only has to concentrate for 1 inning and might be able to avoid those total meltdowns that seem to plague him every game.
Besides, even if Hughes should fail again as a starter, it shouldn't affect his value as a reliever.
Doesn't Hughes have one more option left? It might make sense to start him at AAA. Then he would be ready to come up if a starter got hurt or if someone like AJ self-destructs again. It would allow Hughes to work on developing his secondary pitches which he would not do as a big league reliever. It would keep him stretched out and ready. Plus, it would delay by a year him hitting free agency from 2014 to the 2015 season. That would be especially important if the Yankees want to get below 189 M for 2014.
Agree completely.
That would have ramifications for an already crowded AAA rotation. Not that any shake-up among the group wouldn't be worth it, but there are already five ML-ready or near-ready arms among the starters.
so then betances or banuelos gets a couple starts in aa before someone gets hrut and hughes gets called up. or warren goes to the pen. whatevs/
How can anyone say that Hughes should start over Garcia based on what we know now and based on what we saw last year? This is a purely sentimental argument. Garcia is a legend, Hughes is a nice kid who still has a lot to learn.
A legend? Maybe in his own mind.
You like numbers?
I love numbers, and those don't make him a "legend".
Venezuela has 30 million people, and all of them love and worship Freddy as if he were a God. There is a giant statue of Freddy in Caracas with the phrase: "King of all Kings" on it. He is best friends with the President, who he calls "Huge Hugo."
this means absolutely jack shit. other things that don't matter:
how good of a person he is (he seems like a great one)
how smart he is
how many oreos he can fit in his mouth
what size pants he wears
his personality profile (EFMP>!>!>!>!>!>!?!?!?!)
or anything else to do with anything that isn't regarding baseball, the pitches he throws, and the health of the body parts he needs to pitch
And Sydney Ponson is a knight in Aruba.
Ask Felix Hernandez, every Yankee fan's fantasy pitcher. Did you know that Felix signed with the Mariners because Freddy also played with the Mariners? In Venezuela, Freddy is certainly a legend.
That's great. You know what Freddy Garcia is in the United States? The country that invented baseball and has a population of 300 million?? NOT a legend.
Nor should he be.
I mean, I love the guy, but he's a smoke and mirrors junkballer. He's a very very skilled junkballer, but still a junkballer.
What's more he getting old, which is generally considered to be A Bad Thing. Stop bringing up non-sequiters and defend him on actual baseball grounds. There's a reason that he was on the trash heap before he rehab'd his image last season, just as there's a reason no one else appeared willing to pay more than four mil for the guy THIS season.
Uhhh, I agree with you. Reply fail on your part.
And you love him? This is the way you treat people you love? You're a horrible lover.
Freddy was hurt, this is why he was on the trash heap. He has also developed new skills. This is also why he was so cheap, people didn't realize he had such good breaking stuff.
The problem I have with Hughes is, he just doesn't seem to be developing the breaking stuff. Why hasn't he?
based on what we know now and based on what we saw last year?
(*Past performance is no guarantee offuture results)
What should we go on, if not what we know or have seen? If the kid is so good, let him earn it during spring training with his dazzling repertoire.
I agree he should have to earn his spot. I have no problem with ppl that want to see him compete for the last rotaion slot. My beef is with fans that say "Hughes has to be the fifth starter" WTF so they should once again just give him a rotation spot no matter what.
I personnaly think Freddy should get the 5th starting job. However, there is a very high likelyhood he won't perform as he did last year. The team may also facto rin AJ's solid early season starts the past 2 years and consider hima better option, allowing them to show-case him and formulate a trade. Or, they could look at Phil as playing a more prominent role than either of those 2 and feel that's the best way to go. My point is, there are probably much larger plans in play here. Because Freddy was best last year, doesn't mean he'll be best this year or, more importantly, best for the plans the Yankees have. They should look to maximize value from the 3 of them, not from one of them. How they determine that value lies more with their long term plans (I hope) than with what one player can do during the 2012 season.
This is a purely sentimental argument
Not completely but it plays a role.
Phil Hughes is a legend.

This competition, though, is about more than just a single role on the starting staff. It's about maximizing resources. The Yankees have three pitchers capable of handling that role. Their task is to figure out how to use all three to realize peak value.
Repeated for emphasis.
The Yankees bullpen is loaded, especially once Joba comes back in May or June. Whoever doesn't win the spot in the rotation is going to be placed in an insignificant role as long reliever/mop up man so it would pretty much be an injustice to Hughes to put him in that role.
If you want to make a case for Hughes to start the year in AAA to build up arm strength and work on secondary pitches for a few months, I'll buy it but to put Hughes in the pen because he's proven he's been good there before and Garcia/Burnett have not is a totally nonsensical argument.
Probably July the earliest. Yankees won't rush him, and then when he's back they'll go slowly. If the pen is performing well, he might spend a full 21-days on rehab in the minors and might now see the Bronx until August. I'm not expecting a real impact from Joba again until 2013, although it would be great if his fastball is back to 2008 level and he turns into a weapon down the stretch this year.
to put Hughes in the pen because he's proven he's been good there before and Garcia/Burnett have not is a totally nonsensical argument.
Not my argument. My take is that based on best overall value for the team (WAR, as an example), the best return may be to have him there, as each of the 3 will probably provide close enough value as a #5 starter. Then you need to look at how each plays in another available role.
I like Phil as a starter. He just may not begin the year there. Hope he ends up in the rotation and performing well in teh future, whether that's later in the season or in 2013.
"Considering his age" is really the key when viewing Hughes IMO. He is exactly one year older than Betances and the same age as Nova and Phelps. At times he has been brilliant as a starter, reliever and in the post-season. It's not an outrageous position to think that consistency, maturity and health is more likely to happen for this guy rather than a continued collapse or that his best performance days are behind him.
All three players are loaded with the what ifs. If I had a crystal ball. I would view Phil Hughes as the fifth starter. He has learned his lessons of 2011 with injury and showing up to ST out of shape. He worked on his change-up.
AJ Burnett does gives us innings and can muster a good game every now and again. But his value is the amount of money that the Yankees can save in a salary dump. These monies maybe used to secure a lefty DH who can play the OF or third/first base.
Garcia is the 6th starter or fill-in for injuries. He's steady Freddie.
I would rather see Phil Hughes traded right now than see him wasted in a bullpen role.
Depending on what you get in return he could have more value in the BP than in a trade.
I would think another team in baseball value Hughes as more than a 6th inning reliever. Starter or 8th Inning guy as potential closer even.
Part of it is definitely me being sick of the Yankees banishing their top staring pitching prospects to the bullpen. I just don't see the value in having both Hughes AND Joba in the 'pen. There are reasons ("reasons" in some cases), but it's still fucking stupid! Forgive my animation there, but damn, how many former top SP prospects do you need in the bullpen?
Hughes hasn't been a prospect for years… He's had ample opportunity to start.
With that thinking you would've traded Mariano back in 95.
With that thinking you would've traded Mariano back
in 95.
Not necessarily. Granted I was nine back in 1995, but there were plenty of factors that would have made it appropriate for the Yankees to move Mariano into the 'pen. They didn't have a HOF closer, they didn't have two top-shelf set-up men (at least in name in Soriano's case) nor did they have a former top prospect joining the crowd as well. And you can correct me if I'm wrong here, but I don't recall Mo being on the same level as a starting pitching prospect as Hughes was.
Hughes will be the 5th starter.
AJ will go to the pen.
Garcia will allow a trade and will be gone.
Almost: Reverse the first part. Burnett gets the 5th slot, Hughes to the pen, and Freddy will indeed be traded. Maybe they will include him in a deal for Matsui or Damon, and the AARP would sponsor the media event.
I can't see the Yankees putting AJ in the bullpen just yet.
Possibly. Most of the suggestions thrown about here all seem to focus on trading AJ to get rid of him, while a few others have suggested Hughes as part of a package to get a bat. While both are possible, I think it's unlikely the Yankees will bundle enough money to move AJ, and Hughes' value is at an all-time low, so it seems to me Garcia would be the easiest to move. His contract is low and it's only one year and he's had two solid years back to back, so I don't anticipate any roadblocks to moving him. Garcia would have to allow the deal, but he probably would for the opportunity to start somewhere else.
As for Hughes or AJ in the rotation, I could see it either way. I suspect the Yankees want to see what Hughes can do as a starter this year and feel he has more long-term value to them, and they might even be intrigued to see how AJ's fastball and two-pitch combination would play out of the pen. It might actually increase his value.
I completely agree about Hughes being the 5th starter and appreciate the well thought out presentation defending it. I tip my hat to you!
I think you're making too much of bullpen experience. That Burnett or Garcia didn't get put in the bullpen because he was a successful starter isn't something I can see holding against him. That Hughes succeeded out of the pen with a different motion and different stuff doesn't tell me he'll succeed with this motion and this stuff. He looked better after his rehab or whatever… but still not good.
I would say that the more important way Hughes offers flexibility is optioning him to AAA. Let the guy re-establish himself in AAA if he doesn't earn the job in ST.
Cashman was on with Mike Francessa in the 3:00 PM hour and said, among other things, that we shouldn't expect to see Joba until "…after June."
I've been hoping Phil gets the 5th starters job, with Freddy going to long relief/6th starter and AJ getting dealt far far away. But Joe raises good points.
Joe, what do you want to see happen? I appreciate you guys discussing all the various issues and variables, but I'm curious what you think is the best course of action. I know you're not one to appeal to authority, so I expect you to have an opinion on this rather than assuming the Yankees are the only ones who have an informed opinion.
I think the complicating factor here is the win now vs. remain competitive in the future angle. On a one year basis, Garcia probably makes the most sense to start, at least to begin the season. However, Hughes is still young and has significant potential. I agree with those who have pointed out how disappointing he has been, but the truth is that this often happens with young pitchers. If the Yankees think that Hughes can grow into a 3/4 or better, if might well be worth giving him the fifth spot.
This issue with the fifth spot is a high class problem to have.
I agree completely. I want to see Hughes win the 5th spot for our future's sake, but Garcia is probably the best bet for 2012. Who knows, Hughes could be the best bet for both, which is why I think Hughes should have the spot. I'm not sure what to do with Garcia in that case. He'd probably bring back more than AJ would in a trade, but he would have to allow a trade. I think AJ should either be in the bullpen or traded…the only real argument for AJ in the 5th spot is his salary, which is a poort argument. I want to see Hughes. People have talked about sending Hughes to AAA, where it would be a lesser pressure environment (and I agree) but the 5th rotation spot might also be a similar assignment in terms of pressure, as opposed to asking him to be a mid-rotation starter the last few years. I think the Pineda trade and Kuroda signing helps Hughes more than anyone else.
Last spring Colon looked dominant and Garcia got the 'results don't matter, getting stretched out' defense, so I can't see a true spring training battle happening.
Hughes needs to win the job through how his stuff and body look in February/March. If he's in shape and has his velocity back he should get the nod. If he's getting spring results with lesser stuff I think Garcia gets the benefit of the doubt.
This is a great point. If Hughes stuff looks good, give it to him. If he's 93-95 the command will follow. Don't look at Hughes results in ST, it's all about stuff.
True. He was at 88 last spring, which is when the Yankees suspected their was a problem. If he's at 88 again this spring, then Houston we've got a problem.
The question isn't whether he should be a starter or a reliver, it's whether he should be a reliever or traded. Hughes is not Andy Pettitte, he's not a starting pitcher. We tried that in 2010 and he tired after the ASB. He then proceeded to blow the 2010 ALCS for a very good Yankee ballclub looking to repeat. When he was a reliver he was dominant and we won the WS. It's either bullpen or trade for Hughes.
If we are talking about maximizing resources (which is often overlooked in analyzing issues like this, so cudos to Joe), then let's not blindly look to just 2012, particularly since it is a year in which the Yankees have a loaded pen, such that another good reliever doesn't add that much. Looking forward AJ has two more years tops, Freddie is likely one a done, and Phil is 25 and could easily have another 10 productive years in him. We would truly maximize our resources by developing Hughes into a starting pitcher. Given the small difference you would see by "maximizing resources in 2012," I think the Yankees are better off foregoing that minimal gain, to give one more try at potentially getting themselves a legit starter for the next 10 years.
I agree the Yankees should take a long-term view when looking to maximize resources and that they should give Hughes a shot at becoming a starter based on the potential for long term return, even if it's as a #4 type starter. Hoever, if he doesn't begin the season in the rotation, that doesn't mean they've given up on him. Hope they find a way to make him a starter again at some point.
This is the same conversation as last season's pre-playoff pitching discussion. I still see it the same way: Freddy starts; AJ and Phil in the bullpen for 1+ innings of all-out fireballing. BTW I'm not at all considering the available spots – just about the role of these 3 pitchers. Then as the season progresses, adjustments can be made with these 3, and/or other options such as trades, injuries, return of Joba, etc etc.
I think (hope) there's a possibilty Betances or Banuelos is dominant in spring training. If Betances looks dominant throwing strikes I'd be tempted to let him ride it out as #5. Banuelos a little young. Point is AJ or Freddy will not be dominant and logjam clogs the way if yanks see something special.
Cashman already shot it down on Mike's show
Especially with Betances if he was dominant firing strikes, I'd want to give him a shot. Keep the momentum going and major league coaching/support staff, catcher and defense. CC Pineda Betances is a big intimidating group of power arms. Only if he was dominant with control.
I understand where you're coming from but Cash wants these kids to get all the seasoning they can.
How many games did Hughes did Hughes win in 2010? I forgot.
hughes should go to aaa aj to the pen freddy to number 5. if that happens i guarantee hughes will be needed by mid may at the latest and it will work itself out. freddy is happy and giving above average value for a 5th starter, aj comes in in the 6th and blows people away before pieing someone in the face later, and hughes perfects an "out pitch" in aaa.
if they're put inot these roles and it doesn't happy FREE INTERNET ICE CREAM SUNDAES FOR EVERYONE. well, not everyone, not for the people I don't like, you have to pay for your fake ice cream.
People who suggest that Hughes or Garcia should be traded if they not awarded the 5th spot in the rotation are extremely short sighted as the odds that htis team can possibly go through a season with 5 starters is astronomical. This is a great situation and a luxury that few other teams may have.I don't think Garcia can be traded until June anyway and the odds of getting equal or better value for Phil is doubtful. Trading either would be about as bright as giving your money away because you have no use for it today.
Mostly agree if they can work out what they feel are appropriate roles for them when the season begins. However, if they make a trade, I'd prefer to see:
1) AJ go
2) Freddy go (AJ to the 'pen) – Freddy can agree to a trade prior to June 15.
Neither one brings much in return, but that's OK (for different reasons). Hughes still adds value, even if he's relagated to a BP role (I'd prefer not).
For them to let Freddy go, they have to feel they've got enough from AJ & Hughes to survive the season (plus what they've got in AAA).
Personally i would rather see Freddy start. I understand that Hughes probably represents the greater upside, but he is far from a sure thing and has also had at 2 or 3 long DL trips in his 5 years with the Yankees. Garcia is 5 years out from his shoulder surgery and is adept in turning in good but not great quality starts. He has more quality starts than any Yankee over the last 2 years except for CC. I don't even consider him a middle of the rotation guy, but he is great at keeping his team in games which is a great match for our excellent offense and bullpen. He is a great luxury and probably adds more value to the Yankees than most teams in baseball. Banuelos is most likely at least a year away and should not be rushed. The rest of our Scranton SP's are question marks and I'd feel better having Freddy around rather than having to rely on the kids we have. Most years we lose at least one starter sometimes you lose two. If the Red Sox had a guy like Garcia around last year there season may have had a different ending. He's cheap enough, why not keep him?
He's cheap enough, why not keep him?
If there's enough spots, even if they get creative by starting Hughes in AAA, yeah that's probably the best way to go. However, I'm afraid that might not be the case prior to June 15. I'm hoping they find a way to get rid of AJ, but that's a long shot.
Maybe they have AJ start the season as the #5 with Freddy as the long man and Hughes as the 6th inning guy and ride AJ till they can trade him or he just craps out and they have to replace him, then move Freddy or Phil to the rotation. Who knows? So much can happen between now and then (as we've seen).
The thing is cashman was too quick to sign Freddy. If the Pineda Kuroda deals were sooner, I doubt he would've signed him
I think they're suggesting trading one of the three, not two of the three. They should have five starters, one guy to the pen, and one guy traded. They also have depth in AAA, so they can afford to move one of Garcia, AJ and Hughes.
Besides AJ, the Yankees have Phelps, Warren, Betances, Banuelos, and Mitchell in AAA as 6th starters.
Part of the formula is if the Yanks still have faith that Phil can start, or if they like him in a Mariano-less BP in 2013.
If they think he still has a future as a SP, then I think he has to be the 5th starter this year…. in that they can't keep fucking with him.
However, I think our best team THIS year has Freddie starting and Phil in the BP. If Freddie shits the bed, then Phil or AJ can come in.
There is no such thing as 'too good' of a BP. The better it is, the 'shorter' the games become, and the faster Joe can yank a SP who is in trouble. And we should not be counting on Joba in the BP this year.

I still remember the exhilaration I felt when seeing the first of Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings movies, that awareness of being in the presence of real, big-time moviemaking, full of action and adventure and myth, yet aware of the importance of character and quiet moments before the next grand, landscape-filling spectacle.
Jackson, of course, followed that effort with two more Rings movies, all based on the books by J.R.R. Tolkien, with the last film winning an extraordinary 11 Oscars. And now Jackson has turned to Tolkien again, but with a result that is for the time being less inspired than Jackson's earlier films.
The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey is the first of three films based on Tolkien's novel The Hobbit, which covers events 60 years before the Rings novels. (The second Hobbit film is set for December 2013, the third for July 2014.) At times, it has the sweep and power of the Rings films, and fans of the earlier movies should delight in seeing some characters from the earlier movies, notably Gollum (Andy Serkis). Jackson has embraced both 3D and HFR (high frame rate) to make some showings of the movie even more impressive technologically.
But he is also trying to carve three movies — and a first that runs 2 hours, 49 minutes — out of a relatively small amount of material, especially compared to the three books that inspired the earlier movies. So there are times when Unexpected Journey drags, gets too caught up in extended battle sequences and just plain loves its pictures too much. At times, it seems as if Jackson studied epics like Lawrence of Arabia too closely, since he cannot resist an opportunity to show his small figures crossing vast, if picturesque, expanses. The script, which makes some significant modifications of Tolkien's narrative, also varies in tone, at times trying to appeal to silliness-loving children in the audience, at others intent on the grisly, monstrous and terrifying.
That said, in the HFR 3D version I saw, the movie at times lived up to expectations. Some of the action sequences are splendid in their use of 3D, as is an early bit that finds a band of dwarves tossing plates to each other with marvelous skill and rapidity.
And Martin Freeman (Love Actually, TV's Sherlock) makes a fine Bilbo Baggins, a touch stuffy, often puzzled but perfectly convincing when heroism becomes necessary.
Ian Holm played the older Bilbo in Jackson's Rings movies, and appears here to set up the telling of the Hobbit story before Freeman takes over. There is much story to tell, too, beginning with the fall of Erebor, a dwarf kingdom taken over by the dragon Smaug, which wanted the gold the dwarves had accumulated. Bilbo enters the saga when the wizard Gandalf (Ian McKellen) enlists the reluctant hobbit as the burglar for a 13-dwarf quest to take back Erebor. Although the dwarves, and especially their leader Thorin Oakenshield (Richard Armitage), see no usable skills in Bilbo, Gandalf insists that Bilbo has value, and the hobbit himself is drawn into adventure.
The adventure, then, includes violent encounters with trolls, orcs, goblins and wolf-like wargs, more peaceful meetings with elves, and a growing sense that something terrible is sweeping through the land. Then there is Gollum, engaging Bilbo in a deadly game of riddles — and, of course, a ring.
The movie ends not with the resolution of a major plot element — not with two movies to go — but with the defining of one character and of that character's relationship with others. It is to Jackson's credit that he chose to end on that note, although there were several other, earlier places when he might just as well have stopped this movie. It may be that Jackson is saving his best stuff for the later films — only this one is full of cinematic tricks meant to dazzle the audience now.
One of those tricks is HFR, which is available locally only with some 3D showings at Cinemark Valley View and Tinseltown USA in Jackson Township. If you opt for that version, it may take a mental adjustment. The images are not what is customarily thought of as cinematic, but are more like what you would see on TV when watching a top-shelf high-definition version. And it does not overcome the storytelling flaws.

Credit: Waterford Township
Challenge: Finishing a 17,000 residential meter change-out program, a $1.5 million project financed with an EPA Drinking Water State Revolving Fund loan. The contractor is swapping existing meters with Neptune Technology Group Inc. high-resolution E-Coder meters and installing Neptune's R450 radio transmitters at customer buildings. The contractor verifies in the field that the new meter's communicating properly, via the radio, to our Neptune N_Sight fixed-based network reading system and then moves to the next location. It's then our responsibility to update the data in Neptune's Customer Information System software, verify the meter's reading properly, set up alarming on the new device, and prepare the account for the next billing cycle.
Solution: With the contractor installing 300 units a week, we've reassigned staff to handle the deluge of daily installations. The project is to be completed by the end of 2014. By then, all residential meters will be read utilizing a radio-read fixed-base network, eliminating the need to read meters in the field. Customers will have increased access to their own meters, allowing low- and high-flow notifications and real-time reading capability.

The typical medical practice doesn't experience a level of device alarms over and above the fire alarm, telephones, or a few non-critical laboratory devices. But a provider using EMR software on a tablet or desktop computer is faced with a barrage of notices, messages, and warnings. The hardware and operating environment generate (hopefully infrequent) alerts and alarms about resources, battery life, network connectivity, etc. These issues are generally addressed according to some predefined protocol or over time, and typically (with the exception of true outages) don't affect the patient encounter. Messages generated by the EMR are a different story.
During a patient visit, a physician will see messages about drug interactions, allergies, health management alerts, practice level messages, duplicate patients or patients with the same name, required data for meaningful use, refill requests, abnormal lab results, patient requests, and more. Sometimes the software will confirm an action that you have taken, e.g., saving data, that you already knew. Physicians are inclined to be "click efficient"; meaning that creating the progress note with the minimum number of clicks is important. Having to constantly, and sometimes repetitively, respond to these events is not efficient.
One problem is that all events have the same apparent priority. Most systems support priority levels, typically normal, urgent, or emergent, but they are often not used or misused (everything has top priority). Creating guidelines for your practice on using these priorities can help to ensure that problems and tasks are addressed in the necessary order.
The second problem is somewhat more difficult to address. The same drug interaction warnings have a tendency to pop up every time a certain medication is prescribed. Or lab results for a patient may be outside of the defined normal range, but they are normal for that particular patient. The problem arises with the tendency to "click through" the warnings. The messages are seen so frequently that they are not even read. The danger is that something truly important might eventually be missed because the message appears routine, just like the one seen many times before. Some adjustments make it possible to reduce the frequency, or to change the priority levels, but you can't turn them off. The liability is too high and besides, you might be disabling one of your meaningful use measures.
The solution is more intelligent software that is certainly on the horizon. More reliable systems and improved clinical decision support capabilities will go a long way to remedy some of the problem. In the meantime, practice policies and workflow solutions are the only viable answers.

August 2, 2014
For the first 73 minutes of Thursday night's ACC soccer game at No. 10 Maryland, it looked like the No. 3 Virginia women's unbeaten streak would continue.
But the Terrapins, led by senior midfielder Olivia Wagner, stormed back for three goals in the game's final 17 minutes to beat the Cavaliers 3-1. The loss ends Virginia's unbeaten streak at 10 matches.
Virginia took a 1-0 lead into halftime after sophomore Kaili Torres scored her first goal of the season in the 40th minute. The lead stood until Wagner's free kick in the 73rd minute was deflected into the Virginia net for the game-tying goal. Wagner scored again nine minutes later to put the Terrapins in front, and senior midfielder Danielle Hubka added an insurance goal in the 86th minute.
The win gives Maryland (8-2-2, 4-0-1 ACC) an ACC-leading 13 points. Virginia drops to 9-2-1, 2-1-1 in the conference.

Step one: Heat-up
Step two: Range of Motion
Step three: Strength
Step four: Cooldown
A tenosynovitis is an inflammation of a tendon (which attaches muscle to bone) and a synovium (which is a slick membrane that allows for the tendon to move easier). In DeQuervain's tenosynovitis there are two thumb tendons that lie on the back of the forearm and connect to the thumb. The two tendons become irritated from overuse movements that extend the thumb backwards and/or move the thumb away from the palm of the hand. The two thumb tendons arise from the muscles called the abductor pollicis longus (ABL) and the extensor pollicis brevis (EPB). There is a sheath that holds these two tendons in place and when the tendons become irritated and inflamed the sheath doesn't allow room for swelling to take place leads to a restriction in thumb movement that can be very painful.
A) Towel soaked in hot water
B) Heat Packs
C) Hot Tub
*Always use caution when applying heat to the body surface. The amount of heat applied should not exceed the patients comfort level. Use a dry towel as a barrier between the skin and the heat pack or hot towel to help protect the skin, as needed.
A) Wrist extensor stretch: Sitting next to a table with the forearm resting on the table, palm down, wrist bent and the hand hanging freely off the edge of the table. Using the uninvolved hand, bend the wrist stretching the muscles connected to the lateral elbow. Hold for 10 to 15 seconds, repeat 10 times.
B) Wrist flexor stretch: Sitting next to a table with the forearm resting on the table with the palm down. Using the uninvolved hand pull the wrist backward, bringing the palm off the table while making sure the forearm stays on the table. Hold for 10 to 15 seconds, repeat 10 times.
C) Opposition stretch: Resting your injured hand on a table, palm up. Touch the tip of your little finger to the tip of your thumb. Hold this position for 10 seconds. Repeat 10 times.
D) Ulnar deviation stretch: Seated, forearm resting on a table, thumb side up with the wrist off the end of the table. Using the uninjured hand push the wrist downward directing the little finger in the direction of the floor. Hold for 10 to 15 seconds, repeat 10 times.
A) Wrist extension: In a seated position, palm facing up, forearm supported on a table, bend your wrist upward. Slowly return to the starting position. Resistance may be added to this exercise by holding a can of soup, a hammer, or a light aerobic weight.
B) Wrist extension: In a seated position, palm facing down, forearm supported with the wrist hanging off the edge of a table, bend your wrist upward. Slowly return to the starting position. Resistance may be added to this exercise by holding a can of soup, a hammer, or a light aerobic weight.
C) Radial deviation: In a sitting or standing position, place your wrist with the thumb up. Slowly bend your wrist in the direction of the thumb, as if to reach the thumb toward the ceiling. Slowly return to the starting position. Resistance may be added to this exercise by holding a can of soup, a hammer, or a light aerobic weight.
D) Ball Squeezes: Using a racquet ball, tennis ball, or a hand full of play-do, practice grip strengthening exercises by squeezing the ball. Perform 3 sets of 10 to 15 repetitions.
E) Finger spring/spreading exercises: Put a large rubber band around the outside of your thumb and fingers. Simply open the fingers and close them. You may also get a ball of play-do or silly puddy and by placing your finger tips into the ball, keep opening your fingers until the ball spreads the play-do/silly puddy out. Perform 3 sets of 10 to 15 repetitions.
F) Palm-down curls: Standing with your arms hanging naturally at your side, palm down and holding a light aerobic weight or even a can of soup. Slowly bend your elbow and bring your hand up toward your shoulder, then slowly back to the starting position. good practice is to count to 3 seconds to bend the elbow and 3 seconds to straighten the elbow. Remember that the palm is facing down the whole time. Perform 3 sets of 10 to 15 repetitions.
A) Ice Bag: A bag of ice placed over the injured area for 15-20 minutes.
B) Ice massage: Using a paper or Styrofoam cup filled with water, freeze it, and massage it over the area peeling the cup away as the ice melts for 15-20 minutes.
*Always use caution when applying ice or cold directly to the skin. Use a dry towel as a barrier between the skin and ice if needed.
*BE AWARE that ice causes a normal physiologic response and pattern of sensations; Cold, Burning, Aching, then Numbness (CBAN). If the ice is too uncomfortable use a cool towel.
