welcome back march! very happy to see you. well, not really that happy, but i'll be really happy when march is over and spring can begin in earnest. our weekend went by in a flash as usual, and with the new dog and other craziness we didn't get out to queens which was high on my list, but given our schedule i think everyone is grateful i postponed that trip. our packed weekend instead consisted of a puppy play date, seeing the first 10 minutes of the beautiful movie kirikou and the sorceress (too scary for my 6-year old), baking for haiti, a swimming class for the 3-year old, an art class for the older one and fortunately some good food (ippudo and fonda).
my post today is brief and focused — these incredibly delicious molasses ginger cookies from the littly buddy biscuit companyout in south park slope. i've been to this cute, newish shop a number of times, and every time, i cannot get myself to order anything other than this cookie. it is pretty big, it is moist, it has some spiciness from the ginger, and it is super satisfying. i'm sure there are other things worth getting at little buddy biscuit company, but so far, nothing else can match the appeal of this treat. if i still worked down that way (we're now in the food dessert called gowanus), i might be tempted by some of their savory items like the cheddar and black pepper biscuit or the chicken curry salad sandwich. for now, all i can recommend is this fantastic cookie. little buddy biscuit company, 635 5th avenue between 17th and 18th streets, brooklyn, new york, 718.369.6355.
Thanks Cherry for the sweet review!

Yes! Those cookies are the best! Thanks for reminding me about them.

Hello, I tried to set some title posts as external links using Custom Fields, but it seems you have deactivated the custom fields functionality on the screen for editing a post. Is there a way to get back that functionality? Or, what do you suggest to make some title posts work as external links? Hope you can help us here. Best Sergio
Which theme is this for? I don't see a purchased badge so I'm assuming this is for another theme?
Hi, a client bought supergrid theme and I'm working on the design. I hope you give us a hint on how to work with new custom fields.
Which custom fields are you having trouble with? Can you create a ticket on http://zeotheory.ticksy.com with your wordpress details so we can take a look.
Hi Jaynesh,
Is there any way to add a filter to to the blog section of the site, so a user can filter by blog categories? Would adding the categories to the menu at the top work?
Also, can you create pages that aren't linked to the current animation? Separate pages with their own standard permalinks?
Thanks in advance.
It isn't possible to filter by categories but I can make a small customization that does this.
Hi Jaynesh, my events page (my portfolio) is no longer displaying slider images and my flowers page (custom page) is only displaying 9 out of 15 posts. I'm not sure what is causing these problems. I also emailed you via your profile page. Thanks. Fiona

It may be possible to have a full page with a few minor tweaks. You can create a ticket on http://zeotheory.ticksy.com for advise on that.
Hi Jaynesh, Three months ago you mentioned that you were working on pagination/load more. When is this planned for release. My website takes ages to load due to the amount of posts I have.
Please let me know.
Kind regards, Paul
Sorry this has taken so long. We have been experimenting with a few solutions on the pagination but are still working on creating something more solid.
If you would like us to implement the beta version, please create a ticket on http://zeotheory.ticksy.com with your wordpress details and we can do this for you.

Como hago para hacer un test del Theme antes de comprarlo?
Sorry, I only speak English Can you please translate?
It seems I have a few problems with some standard options. Hope I miss something. Could you help with the following issues?
3) With a regular page, there is no navigationbar on top, only the plus sign remains visible. How to create a regular page including custom permalink and navigionbar?
4) On a custom page, like about. How is it possible to remove the comments?
5) If I follow the documentation it's not possible to set a regular page. The custom page is visible on the home(blog) page, while it's not a post and on the navigation it gives a 404 result.
Thanks for your help.
3) Please ensure that you have the Header Menu set in the Theme Locations box in "Appearance -> Menus"

Hi, can it be true that if you do not have the general settings site adress URL to include "WP" the custom controls/panels (General, Page Filter, Post Type) of your theme does not show up?
I have tried several times now and each time I set the site adress to www.something.com/ they are missing when I try and edit a previous post – and when I set site address to www.something.com/wp, they reappear. How to solve this?
Can you create a ticket on http://zeotheory.ticksy.com with your wordpress details so I can take a look at the issue.
Hi Jaynesh,
1. I cannot explain why, but in my case the tabs don't work correctly. They appear, but I can't switch to the 2nd tab. It's seleceted, but the text won't be displayed. May there is a conflict to other Plugins, which are using jquery?
2. Is there a filter that shows everything on the index except the contact(/map)?
3. WP's gallery pictures won't be resized automatically; only singlepics (via [caption]). Could you please fix that?
4. Could you please add the excerpt-field to portfolio? ...like in normal articles.
Thank you!
I'm very sorry, somehow I missed this message.
Can you create a ticket on http://zeotheory.ticksy.com with your wordpress details and I will look into all those issues.
Regarding issue #2, you can specify multiple filters seperated with commas. So you can put in all the filters you want to display. This may be a problem if you have alot of filters. If so, we can work something else out.
Has the issue with no archives been fixed yet?
We are still currently looking into this. Hopefully we can get the issue fixed ASAP. Sorry for the delay.
Jaynesh, My page is loading very slowly. I would like to try to improve performance by reloading low res images. Is there a way to replace or re-upload an image without deleting the page? Thanks
It is possible to just remove the image by pressing the little X in the corner and reuploading another image.
Hope this helps.
Hi Jaynesh,
Wanted add photo on click of top plus icon (About Me). Please guide me on the same.
Regards, Nitin Bhoja Kalel
You can edit this content in the Options panel. To add a photo you will need to click on Add Media and upload your photo.
Hope this helps.
How can we add social buttons at the bottom??
You will need to install a social buttons plugin. There are many available and any should work. Let me know if you have trouble with this.
Can i get full documentation of Super Grid Theme?
The documentation is included in the full package download. Let me know if you have trouble finding it.
Is there any plugin to load more ajax content on homepage??
I got notification the theme has been updated but can you tell me what has changed? ALso what files would I manually have to overwrite to get these changes? (I don't want to do an automated update since I manually changed some php files).

The Bottom Line

- Unique fragrances you won't find elsewhere.
- Hip, adorable designs are printed on the tins.
- Vegan friendly
- These tins are convienent and portable.
- Priced right for everyone.
- Scent doesn't last all day, you must reapply mid day.
- It's unfortunate that the tin has to be boxed when all of the info is printed on the tin.
- Solid perfume that comes in adorable carry-along tins.
- Simply rub your finger in the wax based fragrance and apply to your typical pulse points.
- These gems are available for around $9.00.
- The scent won't last all day; you'll need to reapply mid day.
Guide Review - Pacifica: Solid Perfume
I must admit, Pacifica is one of my favorite brands. It all started with the introduction to their Malibu Lemon Blossom scent. (read my review) That introduction has turned into quite the Pacifica obsession. Pacifica is fun, unique and creates the most decadent fragrances out there.
Pacifica launched their solid perfumes in Feb of 2008, and they are hot commodities everywhere. Here's what I love about them:
- These little gems cost less than $9.00! So you're able to pick a few and stay way under budget.
- I love the whimsical designs that Pacifica has. I've yet to see a design that I didn't love.
- Pacifica's Solid Perfumes make incredible gifts. You can pick your favorite scent or grab a few for a great gift. It's affordable and sure to please.
- These tins are handbag proof, no matter what you have in your bag. The tin will stay closed, not dent and definitely not leak all over everything like a liquid perfume may. They are even airport-friendly.
You use these solid perfumes as you would your regular perfume, by applying it to your neck, wrists, behind your ear, or where ever you typically apply perfume. Be aware that these will not last you all day. The fragrance does diminish in time, but because you can mindlessly stick these in your bag, you're free to reapply as needed!
The perfumes are a mixture of coconut wax and soy wax mixed with natural and essential oils needed to make the scent. It's almost impossible to pick a favorite Pacifica perfume, but my two current winter must-haves are their Mexican Cocoa, which is sweet, yet dark and sexy, and their Madagascar Spice, which is sultry and spicy. And for warmer weather, I adore the Malibu Lemon Blossom and Mediterranean Fig because of their sweetness. And because they are so inexpensive, it's OK to have a few favorites, because even in this economy, we can afford them!

While the biggest reward of blogging is the fact that you can share your thoughts with the rest of the world, there are also other things that some people hope to achieve. Maintaining a blog can be quite expensive, especially if you spend money on promotion and web design. That is why making some money from your blog is often necessary to keep it online. Here are my thoughts about blogs targeting a small niche, and their ability to make money:
Which browser should I choose? This is the question which many people ask, while others spend hours upon hours in order to prove that their browser is superior. While I also have a browser preference, this is not really what I wanted to talk about this time, as I rather want to point out something else. With so many browsers advertising that they are the best, we often feel like we have to make a specific choice, and that is not really the case. Some people might not know it, but you can actually have multiple browsers installed on your computer. You can use Firefox, IE, and Opera interchangeably, and you do not have to be limited to just one. You may wish to use Firefox when accessing dangerous sites, as Firefox is considered to be the safest browser. On the other hand, you may also want to use Internet Explorer when you want to open some of your bookmarked pages, because most websites are compatible with IE. You can use Opera when you feel like you want to quickly jump from one tab to another, as Opera is a very fast browser. Remember that you do not have to limit yourself to just one browser.
The problem with working in an office is that you might not always be busy. And when a worker is not busy, he might be tempted to start looking for something to do, like surfing the Web, or writing emails. There are many people who just surf the Internet for fun during work, or use their email for other purposes then strictly work. According to the study conducted by AMA (American Management Association) among three hundred companies US companies more than a quarter of employees were fired because of misusing email, and every third worker has been let go for not using the Internet properly at work. Whereas accessing pornographic sites during working hours was the main reason for being fired for misusing the Internet, simply surfing the Web was the reason one third of the employees lost their employment. Office workers are also being downsized for the misuses of emails, mostly because of the inappropriate language used in correspondence. Twenty five percent of bosses said that they fired their staff because of excessive personal use of email.
I think that it is quite apparent that a worker should not access pornographic websites, or other sites considered to be offensive. When it comes to emails avoiding using vulgar language is another thing that employees should remember about. Workers should also realize that in order to have everything under control many companies monitor their Internet connections, and as a matter of fact, it has been said that 66% of companies monitor their Internet connections. In many cases companies do not even have to notify employees that their activity at the computer is monitored. Every employee should remember that and try to represent their company in the best way possible. Employees should also try to use their time effectively because they are usually paid on a per hour basis. Of course, employees also deserve privacy to some degree, so monitoring Internet connections may not be the best way to motivate employees to work more efficiently.
One of the hottest devices on the market are iPods. They are useful and they look great. Who would not want to have one? Maybe some people who own a Pocket PC are an exception, as they realize that both devices have similar features. I think that many people cannot resist purchasing an iPod. This can actually be a problem, because iPods also attract thieves. The rate of robberies is generally growing, and many experts claim that this is due to expensive handheld devices such as iPods. Such devices cost a lot, can be easily stolen, and quickly hidden. They are a very hot commodity for thieves, so I suggest you take this into consideration. Do not go to any dangerous places if you cannot afford your iPod to be stolen. Do not spend too much money on this device, as it can be stolen. You can also lose your iPod, because it is so small. If you commute to work or to school and cannot resist to use your iPod in a public place, do it in such a way that a potential thief will not know that you hold an iPod. You can, for example, hold your bag open and have your iPod hidden there while you will still be able to use it. However, maybe a better solution is to simply read a book in order to avoid worrying about potential robberies.
It seems that there is a very large group of Internet users who are downloading music without paying for it. They are not only downloading a few mp3 files, but around half of them are claiming that they are actually copying whole hard drives full of music. On average, it is reported that people download approximately 50 tracks without paying for them. Is there any way to force people to pay for music? It is hard to say, but I am quite sure that the best way to do it is to offer the consumers what they want. Why not give them access to the whole library of music for, let us say, 10 dollars per month, or allow them to download 50 tracks per month for some reasonable fee? There are many ways to do so. In the United States the legal system becomes more hostile against those who download music that is copyrighted. In fact, it becomes more and more difficult for people in the US to download any music at all, as they might be afraid of the consequences. If this is the case, they are left with the option of purchasing music, which they might not be able to afford. Why not offer them a more reasonable price? Why not sell music at a lower price? This solution that would allow people to buy more CDs at a reasonable price and would probably reduce music piracy.
When I used to work in a big company, each visitor that wanted to enter our property was asked to wear a temporary ID. I think that it was a very good decision for my company managers to make it that way, and prevent unwanted people from getting into rooms where valuable data is stored on computers of the employees. Security in places like financial institutions or other companies is very important. I am not talking here only about identifying visitors, but also employees, especially in bigger companies where not everybody knows each other, and somebody who has bad intentions might want to pretend an employee in order to steal important data or cause a lot of damage. Even smaller companies may want to consider asking their employees or visitors to wear IDs. All that is really needed is a printer. It is easy to print such IDs on regular printers and as long a printer has an ink cartridge or other cartridge, there should be no obstacles to start printing such IDs. I think that workplaces that ask their employees to wear IDs may appear to be more professional. In my opinion, it is also a good way to increase security.
Today I would like to write some words regarding the drop shipping technique on eBay. Let me tell those not familiar with the subject that drop shipping is a technique in which the seller does not keep goods in stock, but instead transfers customer orders to wholesalers who ship the goods to the customer. Anyway, after researching drop shipping, I found that there are many scammers out there, or at least people that are using ethically questionable tactics. For example, there is a review site that rates drop shippers and the website is actually owned by the company that is rated as the best drop shipper. Of course, there are also some legitimate drop shippers. From what I have researched the easiest way to get a list of real drop shippers that would be interested in selling their items to a small owned business is to use the services of companies like WorldWideBrands. I would also want to list a few drop shippers that seem to have good reputation. The reason I want to do this is that while WorldWideBrands may be the easiest way to obtain a list of drop shippers, they charge around $250 for their services. So here is a list of drop shippers where you do not pay any account set-up fees:
moteng.com – More than 20,000 Sport & Camping & Name brand items
Wynit.com – More than 5000 name brand electronics
WholesaleDiscoveries.com – 1000′s of General Merchandise Items
Jewelrysprite.com – More than 5000 pieces Fine Jewelry
Petra.com – Electronic Accessories
TrademarkPoker.com – Poker Wholesaler/Dropshipper
Please note that usually legitimate drop shippers require the customer to provide a Federal Tax ID.
I am not an expert when it comes to holidays. One of those things that I do not know a lot about is camping. I remember camping when I was a kid, but I have not done it in many years. I heard somebody talking about camping a few days ago on the street. This made me think about camping again. One thing I am afraid most when it comes to camping are caravan camping sites. I do not remember any caravan site from the times when I was a kid, so it would be difficult for me to decide what I like about a particular caravan camping site and what I do not like about it.
If you like writing and taking part in discussions, you can earn some money by posting on forums. Some time ago I was visiting MyLot in order to check out the discussion forums and to post on them. There is a variety of subjects on which you can express your opinion. For the first post I have written there, I got paid 2 cents, whereas the person that referred me to the website earned 1 cent. The length of your posts is going to affect the amount of money you are going to be paid per post. You have to understand that you are not going to earn a fortune there, but this is an opportunity for people who are eager to discuss different topics with others, while getting paid a bit. I often visit many different types forums where people discuss various topics. In many of them, the authors of posts write very long messages, as they have plenty to share with others. The truth is that they are not going to be paid for it. If they like to write so much, would it not be a good idea for them to go to MyLot where they can do what they like and additionally get paid for it? Being rewarded for what they are doing would surely motivate them.
A lot of bloggers might be interested in trying to earn some money online. There is nothing wrong with that, however, it is important to avoid scams. In this article I am going to write how specifically you can check if a particular website is a scam. Great tools for this are forums that are created for this sole purpose. The website that I use the most is scam.com. This forum has almost two dozen different scam categories like: Internet scams, work from home scams, auction scams, and even religious scams. I was not reading about scams from each category; however, I understand quite well what this site has to offer.
Anyway the best way to use this forum is to take advantage out of the search box. I will give an example of Doba which is an online dropshipper. Simply write Doba in the search box. In this case, this particular query returned a few dozen results. After reading a few posts you will see that although Doba is not completely a scam, and might not be categorized as a scam by some people, the prices are so high that you will not make any profit by selling on eBay, even though Doba encourages it. I would still categorize this company as a scam, since they are selling products that are suppose to make you money, but of course they will not. This is just an example of what you can learn by checking whether a specific company is a scam.
I hope this information will make you better equipped to recognize scams. Feel free to search Google for similar websites, as there are a lot more places where people are discussing specific online businesses. There are many scams on the Internet, but we do not have to be helpless.

The 11-year-old son of Mark Grabowski is seen in a recent You Tube video telling viewers that he wasn't kidnapped by his father, rather he left on his own free will.
"I was just gonna make this video to tell the news people and whatever that I'm fine, I was not kidnapped," Connor said to the camera. "I came on my own will."
Mark Grabowski, a former Detroit Lions defensive lineman, is now wanted by police. A warrant has been issued for his .
The 11-year old goes on to give details regarding his apparent version of events during the 2:38 minute clip.
On the public Facebook page Help Us Find Connor Grabowski-Cracchiolo, Nate Temby, the brother of Connor's mother, Kelly Evans, says that Connor is "not being himself" in the video.
"If you choose to watch the video, please watch his eyes, his awkward pauses, and his tone," Temby wrote on the Facebook page. "You can make your own deductions. He needs to be back with his mother. Please pray for his safety and the continued efforts to bring him home."

Michelle Obama Makes a Deal with Walgreens
|Michelle Obama proves that the White House is not in a food desert.
The term refers to urban areas where a third of the residents have no source for fresh produce within one mile, or rural areas where people have to drive 10 miles or more to get to a grocery store. It's unclear whether the federal government will be giving financial assistance to these giant corporations, but it sounds like Ms. Obama's Healthy Food Financing Initiative (HFFI), as well as another Department of Health and Human Services program, may commit several tens of millions of dollars to the new initiative.
Is the First Lady making a deal with the devil? Many of us in the Bay Area think of Walmart as the scourge of the independent grocer -- for good reason -- and Walgreens as a convenient place to pick up a lot of supplies but nowhere to brag about shopping. But SFoodie thinks this is a fantastic development.
UP NEXT: Walmart and Walgreens may be tacky, but they mean better nutrition for all Americans.

Social Security Does Not Increase The Deficit
Cutting Social Security would be taking money out of people's pockets.
Published: November 26, 2013
The American people love Social Security — and with good reason. It protects seniors and the disabled from poverty, and it is the most important life and disability safeguard available to the nation's 75 million children.
The program is a bargain: Its administrative costs are lower than privately managed retirement plans. Social Security returns in benefits more than 99 cents of every dollar collected; the program is fiscally sound and prudently managed — a policy triumph.
Just about everybody in America is against cutting Social Security, as poll after poll demonstrates. The people have continued to speak loudly and clearly, and yet Washington can't seem to get the message.
A favorite tactic of Social Security's foes is to push the notion that the program somehow drives up the federal deficit, an argument that is completely without merit.
In the first place, the federal deficit is shrinking. That's a highly inconvenient truth for people trying to stoke deficit hysteria. Even if the deficit were rising — which it's not — the sensible way to deal with that would be to concentrate on putting people back to work, and to invest in productive things like education and infrastructure.
Taking money out of people's pockets, which is what cutting Social Security would do, actually could have the perverse effect of increasing the deficit, because it means that people can't buy the stuff they would normally buy with this money, like food and health care.
It's a plain economic fact that Social Security is not a driver of the deficit. Nevertheless, irresponsible people continue to confuse the public by using various tricks: such as predictions of the future that have little basis in reality.
There is, of course, a very simple way to generate more revenue for the program. Raise the cap on earnings taxed to pay for Social Security from its current $113,000 to something like, say, $200,000. Presto! You now have loads more revenue and you did not keep grandma from buying medicine.
You don't hear the greedy rich jumping on board with this idea. You don't hear the financiers cheering this approach, because they really want to see the program destroyed so they can get their mitts on your retirement money. But it would certainly suit everybody else.
Now you're ready for Thanksgiving dinner with the in-laws. Enjoy!

Genoa have reportedly signed Nicolas Burdisso from Roma and taken Marco Motta on loan from Juventus.
The Grifone are reinforcing their squad over the January transfer window under the orders of Coach Gian Piero Gasperini.
According to several different sources, this evening they completed two new moves.
Burdisso had said he wanted to leave Roma in order to have more playing time ahead of the World Cup.
The Argentina international seems to have his wish, as he is joining Genoa on a permanent transfer.
Genoa also picked up full-back Motta on loan from Juventus, just days after a similar deal was struck for Paolo De Ceglie.

The Workhouse, Southwell
This section of the page features an image gallery, so if you're using a screen reader you may wish to jump to the main content.
Atmospheric 19th-century workhouse
Follow in the footsteps of the Victorian poor as they sought refuge at The Workhouse. This austere building, the most complete workhouse in existence, was built in 1824 as a place of last resort for the poor and needy. Its architecture was influenced by prison design and its harsh regime became a blueprint for workhouses throughout the country. You can immerse yourself in the building's unique atmosphere and learn about the daily routine of those who lived and worked here in the 1840s, while reflecting on how society has tackled poverty through the centuries.
Meet the Reverend Becher, the founder of the Workhouse, by watching the introductory film and immerse yourself in the unique atmosphere evoked by the audio guide. Based on real archive records, the audio guide helps bring the 19th-century inhabitants back to life.
Explore the segregated work yards, day rooms, dormitories, master's quarters and cellars and then discover the recreated working 19th-century garden and find out what food the paupers would have eaten.

It seems like almost every team going up against the Nets, especially the ones who come in having struggled in their last few games or so, always seem to gain an extra boost of confidence. It's like these opposing teams get jolted with some kind of energy when they know that they're about to face the Nets. Let's take the Rockets game for example. Before that matchup, Houston was on a losing streak and had just lost their point guard for the night due to illness. Yeah the Nets were without D-Will, but still it was considered a winnable game and both teams didn't have a legit go-to player. Houston came out with the win, unfortunately, because they were able to take advantage of the opportunities presented to them late in the final seconds of the game (of course, costly Net turnovers and horrible shot selections). Looking at Houston now, they're currently on a 2-game losing streak and are half a game away from reliquishing their 8th spot to the resurging Suns.
Next, there are the worst team in the West in the Hornets. No Gordon, no Okafor and yet they manage to pull off a win where D-Will and newly acquired Gerald Wallace are playing in the game. And just recently the Cavaliers, who had just traded away a key piece of their roster and was coming into Newark having loss 3 straight games. Nets, with a good lineup on paper and surrounded with good veterans, gets outschooled by TWO rookies. As a result, they're now 7 games in back of the 8th seeded Knicks.
And this may be a bit off-topic, but I'm going to bring up the fact that the Nets always allow d-leaguer type players and rookie-type players to have career games against them. I've counted as least 5 of them in this season alone and I am absolutely SICK OF IT. These type of players go against other teams and they're just role players at best with no real impact on the boxscore. They go up against the Nets and they play as if they're all-stars or veterans that have been in the league for a while that was just waiting for their moment to catch a team slipping. So annoying to say the least, but I guess it's part of the game (sadly).
Unless some kind of miracle happens, the Nets are NOT making the playoffs and that pick they traded away could turn out to be a key loss if D-Will decides to leave. I don't know about you guys, but I am SICK and TIRED of our franchise experiencing curses and bad luck like we have been for quite a while. Hopefully, moving to Brooklyn changes the whole dynamic of this entire franchise and all the bad experiences we've witnessed in New Jersey will STAY in New Jersey with nothing but good charm rubbing on the team in New York for the future. Go Nets!!

The Oakland Raiders have released Kelly, cutting ties with their longest-tenured position player on the roster.||||||| Kelly signed a $50.1 million, seven-year contract to remain with Oakland in 2008. He was owed $6.5 million this year before being cut. Kelly had one sack in 16 games last season.
Kelly accepted responsibility for his arrest on suspicion of driving under the influence, saying he made a bad mistake.||||||| Kelly went out drinking Sunday night after the Raiders returned from a road trip to Kansas City. He was booked at Oakland's Glenn E. Dyer Detention Facility on Monday and later released. Kelly acknowledged that he is under more scrutiny this season after signing a seven-year contract in the offseason that was worth up to $50.5 million and included $18.125 million in guaranteed money. Coach Lane Kiffin sat down with Kelly on Wednesday to talk about the situation.
Kelly was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence. Authorities say Kelly was booked at Oakland's Glenn E. Dyer Detention Facility on Monday and later released.||||||| The Raiders signed Kelly to a $50.5 million contract this year even though the veteran defensive lineman was coming off a serious knee injury that cut his 2007 season short. Kelly had surgery to repair a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee. Kelly replaced Warren Sapp as the anchor of the Raiders' defensive line.
The Raiders resigned Kelly on Thursday to a seven-year contract that reportedly could be worth more than $50 million. Kelly, coming off reconstructive knee surgery, was set to become an unrestricted free agent on Friday. But the Raiders pre-empted that with a lucrative contract that guarantees Kelly more than $18 million.||||||| Keeping Kelly was an offseason priority for Oakland after defensive tackle Warren Sapp retired. Kelly was the team's most consistent defensive lineman last season before sustaining the season-ending knee injury Oct. 28 against Tennessee. Kelly's versatility is one of his biggest strengths as he is able to play inside at tackle or outside at end. He finished 2007 with 27 solo tackles, one sack and a blocked kick.
Kelly will miss the remainder of the season with a torn ligament in his right knee, the latest injury to hit Oakland's defensive line.||||||| Kelly had 27 solo tackles and one sack this season, moving back and forth between end and tackle with ease. He also came up with one of the biggest plays of the season for Oakland, blocking a potential winning 40-yard field goal attempt by Cleveland's Phil Dawson on Sept. 23.

This pop-up restaurant as part of Citi Pond at Bryant Park just goes to show that a restaurant doesn't have to be around for 50 years to be great. I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of both the food and drinks at this cute rink-side restaurant. Yes, almost everything is winter-themed but not in an annoying way - they have warm drinks and cocktails and hearty, post-skating food like Pot Pie, Mac N Cheese, and garlic fries that were addictive. I was really impressed by their custom cocktails, which were both creative and delicious.
Originally, I had asked for a negroni, however they informed me they didn't have campari and the bartender could make something for me that I would like... and I did!
|Citrus-infused gin drink sprinkled with cinnamon and nutmeg. Smelled and tasted great.
|The Lychee - Level vodka (my favorite!!), lychee and lime. Gotta love that they didn't skimp on the fruit.
Bryant Park is definitely a must-see during the holidays - the skating at Citi Pond is free, and after doing a few laps you will be doing yourself a favor by stopping for a bite at Celsius.

Camillo Golgi
Camillo Golgi was the first Italian to have received the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1906. The Nobel Assembly at the Karolinska Institute awards the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine. This prize has been awarded annually from 1901. It is awarded during a formal ceremony held on December 10, the death anniversary of Alfred Nobel, in Stockholm, Sweden. Since 1901 there have been five winners of Italian descent who have been awarded this prestigious prize.
Birth and early years
Camillo Golgi was born on July 7, 1843 in Corteno in a small village near Brescia in Northern Italy. His father was a district medical officer. He studied medicine at the University of Pavia. He was fortunate enough to study under some great teachers like Mantegazza, Bizzozero and Oehl. He worked in the laboratory of experimental pathology, which was under the able and dynamic guidance of Giulio Bizzozero a brilliant and young professor of histology and pathology. He introduced Golgi to experimental research and histological techniques. They maintained a lifelong friendship. Golgi graduated in 1865.
Early career
He began his career at the Hospital of St. Matteo. He was a very popular teacher and his laboratory was open to all young researchers. Although he did not practice medicine at the hospital he directed the activities of the Department of General Pathology. He also began studying histological techniques such as tissue staining and fixation procedures.
In 1872 he became the Chief Medical Officer at the Hospital for the Chronically Ill at Abbiategrasso (close to Pavia and Milan). He had accepted this job due to financial constraints. However he continued the research work he had began earlier. It is believed that he converted a small kitchen and made it his laboratory. This is where he began his path breaking research.
His most important research
In 1869 he wrote an article where he stated that mental diseases could be due to organic lesions of the neural centers. Lombroso's theories had a deep impact on him. It was here that he began work on an experimental study of the nervous system. He investigated insanity, neurology and the lymphatic of the brain. He also began studying the causes of malaria.
Although Golgi has done a considerable amount of research on the central nervous system perhaps his most important research is the revolutionary method of staining which he discovered. Golgi was reticent and modest about this work and it is not exactly known when he developed this technique. He worked through out his life modifying and improving this technique. In 1873 he published a paper "On the structure of the brain grey matter" in the Gazzetta Medica Italiana (Italian Medical Gazette). He said that he could observe the elements of nervous tissue after a long series of attempts. He thus discovered a new method of staining individual nerve and cell structures. He called this the black reaction or reazione nera. This reaction can trace the processes and most delicate ramifications of cells. This reaction is based on nervous tissue hardening in potassium dichromate and impregnation with silver nitrate. This revolutionary staining method is still in use today and is named after him. It is called Golgi staining or Golgi impregnation. In this reaction a limited number of neurons are impregnated randomly for reasons that are still unfathomable. This reaction permitted for the first time a clear visualization of all the processes of a nerve cell body.
In 1875 he published an article on olfactory bulbs. In this article he made the first drawings of the neural structures as visualized by the Golgi reaction. He was an acute and prolific investigator who made a number of outstanding observations. Although it was Cajal who correctly interpreted that the nervous system is composed of anatomically and functionally distinct cells thus supporting the neuron theory Golgi's work on the nervous system was also as important. Golgi contributed much to the modern knowledge of the structure of the nervous system.
Golgi also described two types of fundamental nerve cells. These neurons are named after him and are called Golgi type 1 and Golgi type 2.
In 1878 Golgi described the tendon sensory corpuscles. These also bear his name and are called the Golgi tendon organs.
In 1885 he published a monograph on the anatomy of the nervous organs. It had beautiful and finely etched illustrations of the nerve centres he had studied he had studied using his techniques.
From 1886 to 1892 he began studying the malarial diseases. He elucidated the cycle of the malarial agent, the Plasmodium in the red blood cells or RBC. He investigated the coincidence between the recurrent chills and fever with the release of the parasite in the blood. He also studied the efficacy of quinine in treating the disease.
In 1897 when he was doing research on the nervous system using his black reaction he observed an intracellular structure in the neurons. He officially reported their existence in April 1898. Golgi called this structure "internal reticular apparatus". It was also named after him and was referred to as the Golgi apparatus. It was later called the Golgi complex and is now a days referred to as simply "the Golgi". This discovery of a cell organelle was a major breakthrough in cytology and cell biology. Many scientists disputed the existence of the Golgi apparatus for decades. In the mid 50's its existence was confirmed with the help of the electron microscope. The discovery of this cell organelle has made Golgi the most frequently cited scientist in molecular and cell biology.
The year 1998 was the centennial year for the discovery of this important call organelle. It was a year filled with seminars and articles in many scientific journals in honour of this discovery.
Return to the University of Pavia
In 1875 he returned to the University of Pavia as a Professor of Histology. He went to Siena for a short time but returned to the University of Pavia. In 1881 he was appointed to the Chair for General Pathology succeeding his teacher Bizzozero. He was the dean of the Faculty of Medicine. He was also the rector of the University of Pavia for several years. He continued teaching histology for a long time. He retired in 1918 but remained as Professor Emeritus. He remained at Pavia till his death.
He founded and directed the Istituto Sieroterapico Vaccinogeno in Pavia.
World War I
When the First World War broke out Golgi was already quite old. However he took the responsibility of directing a Military Hospital in Pavia. He created a neuro-pathological and mechano-therapeutical center to study and treat peripheral nerve lesions and also to rehabilitate the wounded.
The Nobel Prize
In 1906 Camillo Golgi and Santiago Ramon y Cajal jointly shared the Nobel Prize in Physiology or medicine for their work on the structure of the nervous system.
Other honours
There is a hall dedicated to Camillo Golgi in the Historical Museum of the University of Pavia. He received many honours and degrees from several European Universities. More than eighty certificates of honour, degrees, diplomas and awards including the Nobel diploma received by him are displayed in this hall.
He became a senator in 1900.
In 1994 the Ufficio Principale Filatelico in Rome, Italy issued a stamp in honour of Camillo Golgi, the first Italian Nobel laureate in Physiology or Medicine.
His major influence on others
Camillo Golgi had a strong and positive influence on many people. He was an excellent and popular teacher. He encouraged many research scientists in his laboratory. Many of those whom he influenced and helped went on to achieve a lot in their personal and professional lives.
The Norwegian histologist and explorer Fridtjof Nansen was one of his foreign guest and student. Nansen went on to win the Nobel Prize for Peace in 1922. Adelchi Negri discovered the intra neuronal inclusions in Golgi's laboratory. These were named Negri bodies after him and represent specific features of rabies and provide a histopathological criterion for this infection. It was in Golgi's lab that Emilio Veratti described for the first time the sacroplasmic reticulum in skeletal muscle fibres.
His publications are collected and published by the Milan editor Hoepli as Opera Omnia. The first three volumes of Opera Omnia were published in 1903. the fourth volume of Opera Omnia was published in 1929 after his death. Golgi's coworkers, L. Sala, G. Sala and E. Veratti edited it.
Personal life
In 1877 Camillo Golgi married Donna Lina Aletti. She was a niece of his teacher Bizzozero. They had no children of their own but adopted his niece Caroline. Caroline is married and is now called Caroline Golgi- Papini and lives in Rome. He took an active part in public life and was especially concerned with public health.
Camillo Golgi died on January 21, 1926 in Pavia where he had spent most of his life.
Although it has been many years since he died his heritage lives on and his pioneering research still influences biomedical research and call biology. His staining techniques are used till today.
As a stimulating teacher and a very highly motivated scientist his students and researchers in all the Institutes he set up carry out his legacy for future generations.

Emergency personnel were on scene of a multiple car crash just before 11 a.m. Tuesday on southbound Interstate 15 in Temecula, according to California Highway Patrol.
An elderly woman was injured in the wreck involving four cars just before the Santiago Road overpass, between Rancho California Road and Highway 79 South, according to CHP Officer Coon.
A red Toyota Prius, a silver Lexus RX350 and a Jeep were among the cars involved, Patch learned at the scene.
The slow lane was closed at the accident, while the other three lanes remained open.
"It was a minor injury crash that happened in the slow lane; traffic was slowed to a stop in the area at the time," Coon said.
The Lexus sports utility vehicle did not stop in time, he said.
"The driver didn't realize traffic was stopping and hit the back of a red Prius. That Prius went up the embankment and the Lexus continued to hit the back of a silver Jeep Wrangler, which is pushed forward into the back of a Toyota Corolla," Coon said.
Stoppages are typical in that lane as traffic gets closer to the Highway 79 South/Temecula Parkway exit, he said.
"We are lucky no one got seriously injured here," Coon said.
"The main thing is (motorists should maintain) a high visual horizon...just paying attention and not being distracted by the things we always get distracted by...phones, radios, those kinds of things."

A few months lateBy
The Twins now say they would like an offer from the Yankees for Johan Santana in exchange for a package centered around Melky Cabrera and Phil Hughes. I think they're a little bit late on this one. Rookie GM Bill Smith is about to learn what happens when you overplay your hand. No more Santana today after this unless, of course, a trade goes down.
85 Comments»
Seems like we're about to learn just how impetuous Hank can be. Seems like he's chafing at the bit to overrule Hal and Cashman. Tell Bill Smith IPK and Melky…
Also seems like I like the phrase "seems like". D'oh!
If Cashman is smart, and I believe he is, he isn't going to offer up Hughes anymore. The Red Sox pulled Lester off the table so the Yankees should take off Hughes.
Make shirts that say screw the santana trade and the keepthe big 3 on the back.
i have a feeling the yankees will make this trade.
before you jump on me, i am not basing this on anything except a gut feeling.
If the Yanks trade Melky, what are they going to do about their outfield situation, now that Cameron and most decent outfielders are off the market?
Also, what exactly is Cashman's view. That he doesn't want to trade any prospects for Johan? Or that he doesn't want to trade a package that includes Hughes or Kennedy? Or that Kennedy could be included? If IPK is, in fact, traded, does that mean Cashman was overruled?…Or got what he wanted.
again, not basing this on anything, but i would guess that Cashman would make the trade if it did not include IPK. he knows how good Santana is, but he doesn't want to trade Hughes.
i *think*, if the trade happens with Hughes, it means he got overruled. if a lesser package got it done, i am not so sure.
in other words, i don't know anything. lol.
as for CF, the Yankees *could* sign Corey Patterson. he's not great, but for 2008, i am not sure he's a huge downgrade from Melky. obviously Melky has a higher upside, but Patterson is very good defensively even if his offense is "inconsistent", to be charitable.
again, not basing this on anything, but i would guess that Cashman would make the trade if it did not include IPK.
i meant "if it did not include HUGHES".
i have to agree with you. I've got no real reason to believe it will or wont get done, but there is something thats telling me that Johan will be a Yankee.
if they can configure a deal so it does not include Hughes, I think Cashman would go for it.
They've been linked to Corey Patterson a little bit this offseason – he'd be a decent stopgap until AJax is ready. Or maybe they'd just see if Gardner can handle the role right now. He's not all that different from Melky's skill set, anyway.
I don't think that it's so much about the players that Hank would be giving up, but the 6 year $150,000,000 contract, not including the huge luxury tax hit.
This is ridiculous. Smith's negotiating skills seem to be backwards.
If Damond & Abreau come in camp in shape and Matsui's knee is healed the outfield will be fine. Not the best but fine considering Santana is going to strike every one in the league out. We have the internal kids to play backup if need be – and they probably aren't too much worse than what we have.
I really don't see this deal being done with Hughes involvedand at the same time if we look at the Mets best offer we could beat it without him. IPK, Melky, AJax, Gonzales, Karsteins/Igawa… That would be a lot for Smith to grab and we could afford to lose those players considering those mentioned will not push us into the WS like Santana would.
Damon says he's 12 pounds overweight, and won't be losing it. So Melky is definitely needed in CF.
Over at the Times:
If the yanks get Santana and dont have to part with Hughes you have to give Cashman mucho credit and anyone who bashes Hank needs to shut up.
Plus, people forget that Hank is half the owner of the Yanks people. He can't make it go down unless Hal agrees with it.
and from reports I,ve read, Hal doesn't want the trade to go down.
I be very surprise if not stun if Santana is traded to the Yanks for Hughes.
I agree with Geno. Smith may have miss calculated the timing, the market and the player packages for Santana. One more point. Hal and Hank, both must agree upon all "baseball related moves". So if Hal doesn't agree, the deal cannot be made. Isn't that correct?
I'd get Smith at the bargaining table and just start laughing until he conceded that his trade request is now ridiculous. Far too late – the best thing the Sox could have done for us was to pull Lester off the table. Why would we ever give Hughes up now, when the only other offers are Coco Crisp + B prospects and the Mets' quantity over quality?
I can't see Hank going over Hal and Cashman – I'd think that by now, Cashman has explained that Smith is hanging himself more and more as each day goes by. Melky, Kennedy, and a grab bag of prospects (maybe excluding Horne and Tabata) will still be the best offer on the table at this point.
I want this to go down now. I love Melky (as anyone who follows my comments on here knows) but a Yankee rotation that contains Phil Hughes AND Johan Santana has me drooling, especially since, as RAB will tell you, we've got some outfield prospects moving up the ladder very nicely, thank you.
I read MTR that some of Twins players quietly want Melky and are pushing for this deal. I agree with most of you here the Twins GM over played his hand. Now somehow they have to pull a deal that does not included Hughes that doesn't make the Twins GM look like he got played.
Anything think the Yankees can get Johan without giving up Hughes or IPK? Some kind of deal similar to the Muts with quantity… maybe:
Austin Jackson
Humberto Sanchez
What do my fellow RABers think?
Dear God thats a lot of players, way too many…
I think people are overestimating Cashman and Hal's role a bit. If Hank suddenly decides he wants Johan no matter the cost, I'm pretty sure the deal gets done. Period.
That article also says that the Twins claim Lester is still on the table.
the mets have nothing to give up, the redsox are refusing to give anybody up. so why not at least try with something minimal, like Melky or AJax, Horne, Marquez, rather than a bombshell like Hughes, Melky, AJax, Horne, and Marquez?
i agree wholely with quantity for santana….afterall the yankees have quite a few good players in the minors as well on the team….do the deal…if smith finally breaks down and accepts….
The Yank's have Minny where they want them………I just hope they aren't foolish enough to include Hughes ( I don't beleieve they are? ) and/or both Melky and AJax.
As stated before , I could see this happening , but hopefully wisely…..w/out Hughes.
Take it or leave it……………..
The Yankees won't trade for Santana at this point and neither will the Red Sox. Both teams tested the waters early on, but at this point they know that they don't have to part with their big prospects because Smith waited too long. What both teams want is Santana on the open market in the offseason next year. The only way they will trade for him now is if Smith drops his expectations dramatically and gives him away.
Smith's only remaining move is to wait until the trade deadline and pray that one of the teams is desperate enough about missing the playoffs that they pull the trigger on a deal. The Red Sox won't do that, but the Yanks might. That's an awfully risky game to play because the downside is that you walk away with nothing for your ace. The reason that makes sense, however, is that the worst you will come away with, in terms of prospects, is what's probably on the table right now after stupidly playing hardball all winter.
Smith might be able to throw Santana, Liriano, and Bonser and compete for the post-season, so waiting for July might be the smartest move at this point anyway. The trump card is whether the Mets get desperate enough to put a valuable package together right now, which is what I think is going on. Smith wants either the Yanks or the Sox back in it, or at least create the perception that they're in it, to drive up the price on the Mets. Cash and Theo are too smart for that shit though. As long as Hank shuts up a little, this will play out poorly for the Twins in the end.
The Twins do not want to deal with this fiasco that will happen if he doesnt trade him. Everyday will be a circus and since he has a no trade clause they aren't guaranteed a trade.
The right thing to do would be to resign him. Isnt the name of the game frontline pitching? Its not like they have a billionaire owner or anything.
they just gave $75M to morneau. they have money.
i'd rather spend it on santana than morneau, who is overrated, in my amateur opinion.
Justin Morneau is not overrated. He's on of the better sluggers in baseball and is just as good if not better than Prince fielder or Ryan Howard.
I can't agree with ya on that one.
Justin Morneau is not comparable to Howard or Fielder. He's no scrub, but Howard and Fielder are another level.
He's on of the better sluggers in baseball and is just as good if not better than Prince fielder or Ryan Howard.
better than Ryan Howard? are you sure about that?
Morneau: .276/.340/.498 OPS+ 117
Howard: .291/.397/.610 OPS+ 151
Fielder: .280/.369/.546 OPS+ 131
Morneau: .276/.340/.498 OPS+ 117
Matsui: .295/.371/.485 OPS+ 125
Matsui is definitely not one of the better sluggers in baseball.
And how many times Ryan Howard struck out this year? 1,000 times last year.
To say that Justin Morneau is not as good a hitter as Fielder or Howard is to me inaccurate.
Did people say Morneau last year?
Plus, you do know that Howard plays in a pretty friendly park too.
Morneau: .276/.340/.498 OPS+ 117
Howard: .291/.397/.610 OPS+ 151
this comparison is a massacre.
I could care less if Howard struck out 1,000 times per year as long as he does his job which is to drive in runs. I take Howard as my 1B for the next ten years over Morneau and don't even question it. As for Morneau's MVP season, he probably wasn't even the best hitter on his team. The only reason he won it is because Papi and Jeter split the vote
They survived the "circus atmosphere" last year with Torii Hunter so that's not a major point of concern on the Twins' part.
There's reasons to trade Santana but not for the reason you've given.
Neal LaVelle has been a source of misinformation on Santana since november- take anything under his name with a huge grain of salt
realist – I think that is not a bad concept from the Yankees standpoint. I don't know if the Twins would want Igawa, but perhaps a lesser prospect who can be easily replaced in the system i.e Steven White or George Kontos. This leaves Santana, Wang, Pettite, Chamberlain, Hughes as one amazing rotation. You lose a bit of depth by giving up Horne and IPK, but you have Marquez, Mcutcheon (sp?), Garcia, Sanchez, Brackman, Nova, Betances, Pope all rising through the ranks.
Thanks jason,
I only say that as a last ditch effort….I had seen where Igawa was a player that Minny would possibly want? I read where some felt he needed a "change of scenery(sp?)"….
All I know is , as a businessman , most ask for more than they expect to recieve. So you offer much less to feel them out and see if you can meet in the middle?
It wouldn't bother me if the aforementioned trade went down…. as Hughes , Tabata , AJax , or Gonzo weren't involved.
Minny would recieve a player capable of playing all OF positions (Melky)
A starter in IPK
A starter in Igawa
A possible starter in Horne
All for a player that doesn't want to play for you and can walk ( or veto a trade if not to NY or Boton? )…………..seems fair to me?
Morneau only won the MVP award. He may not have the sheer natural power that Howard or Prince has but hes a pretty darn good player and def on the top tier of power hitting, middle of the order guys.
And Tori Hunter is not in the same league as Santana. We're talking about the best pitcher in baseball who is under 30 and lefty and durable. If you dont think there will be a circus in that clubhouse you're nuts. After every start hes going to get asked question after question about his future. Every teammate will get asked daily.
you can be "pretty good" and still be overrated.
i guess i should clear that up. i don't think he is not good.
Morneau is a "good" player. but i still think he is overrated.
his MVP is exhibit A.
Check his stats in '06. You can certainly say he deserved the award. Even though that should be Jeters trophy.
well, that was my point. Jeter should have won. or Santana. or Mauer. or Sizemore. or Dye.
Morneau was only the 3rd most valuable player on his OWN team.
Ooops! Boston not Boton
Anyone that puts Igawa as one of the frontline players in an offer for Santana should be banned from talking for a month.
That would have been the case months ago but not now. It appears that players from all teams are rapidly being removed from the table. That is why I think a deal like the one Realist suggests, perhaps with modifications, is appropriate at this juncture. The idea is for Minn. to ask for an entire farm system, the contra team to say you can't have A, B, and C and then to meet in the middle. Where that middle ground is reached will depend on what it the perception of other teams offers and other factors. With Santana demanding so much money, the quality of players changing teams will be reduced. A somewhat similar example is the Dice-K signing. Because of the posting fee, the actual salary was much less than was originally anticipated.
Bo , you must not know much?
Igawa was talked about recently BY MINNY….
So ban me for reiterating what was reported…
Speaking of Igawa, I remain surprised that a NL team hasn't made an offer for him. He's priced cheaply per year and could be a #4 on most NL rotations.
Try selling Igawa for Santana to your fans.
Now that is funny.
Another dope who doesn't READ…………….MINNY HAD interest in him…meaning Igawa. This wasn't pulled out of the air!
Plus it isn't Igawa for Santana…only a complete idiot would read that into what is being said.
How do you know Minny ahd interest in him?
Were you in Minnys front office? Were you in the scouts meeting???
Stop assuming things. Or you really believe everything you read in a paper?
I am not trying to start trouble but when a complete idiot calls me out….I have no other choice but to retort.
Igawa being included in the deal is OLD news and if certain people want to call updated people names OR crap on them , they open themselves up to a retort.
The offer should be:
Jackson or Tabata
Another young arm
take it or leave it
If the Yanks don't want to trade for Santana because of the money, which seems to be the case, then they're just like all of the other teams who can't afford him and should no longer be mentioned as one of the teams that could get him.
Yes, Igawa was mentioned as a player that the twins might have an interest in, but I think most people assumed correctly that he would be towards the bottom of a pile of players the Yanks would send to minny, not at the top. In other words, Igawa ain't replacing Hughes in a trade. You guys are dreaming who think we can get Santana for George Kontos or whatever(in fact I think REALIST is probably kidding, with some of the shit he's saying. He's making fun of the people who think we're going to get santana for B prospects, the name gives it away). Do you think Boston or the Mets would let us get Santana for Igawa?
It's not just the money. It's the money plus the Grade A prospects.
They shouldnt have to pay twice for a soon to be free agent who they will have to give above market value for.
Minny shouldnt expect a package like Balt will get for Bedard because you get bedard for 2 yrs at cost before you have to pay for him.
A guy like Hughes is worth way more than 1 yr and full price after of Santana.
Even IPK is worth more. You get him for free basically for 7 yrs. Thats where the money comes in.
Igawa………….bottom on the list of "prospects"
IF this isn't enough to get Santana and the luxury of paying him obsecene money , then pass.
Sorry Lanny , you are not an "idiot" , in fact I enjoy reading your comments. My wording may have led you to misunderstand my point and that is no excuse for the "idiot" remark.
The MORON
if the latest on bedard (that is, that no deal has been reached) is true, then what would it take to get him? If Cash puts an offer out for Bedard, the twins could lower their asking price.
Pete – Bedard isn't staying in the division.
Any team that is goiing to get Santana is going to have to overpay for the right to negotiate… that said Santana is an opportunity that might be worth more than what people are giving this trade credit for.
… that would be a big grab for Minny and one I think we could afford. When you think about it most of these players are not going to get the chance to have a big impact on our team. And for those of you who want to keep Ajax out of the deal… think anout the Twins perspective would you make this trade for without him?
Those players will make me sleep at night if they are on another team.
AJAX,Horne and somtimes Marquez gets overhyped by Yankees fans.Yes AJax might be good but good outfieldrers are easy to find in the trade and free agent market, look at Abreu.Alex Rios in two years will be a free agent but A Santana will never be this easy to get i. the next tens years.
Sleeping at night is a good thing right? Are you saying a six player deal wouldn't get it done? I've heard some scouts like Marquez more than IPK. And the Twins were asking that Ajax be put in the original package with Hughes.
To me this deal would be a lot like what the Mets are suposedly in the lead with and again landing Santana is more than worth it to me.
I heard on WFAN's Mike and the Mad Dog that the Twins are still asking for Reyes from the Mets. If thats true the Twins Gm is a nut. God know what he asking the Yanks for.
In related news. The Diamondbacks now say they would like an offer from the Yankees for Randy Johnson in exchange for a package centered around Robinson Cano and Chien-Ming Wang. I think they're a little bit late on this one as well.
speaking of, what's up with Randy? have there been any stories about him? is he going to pitch this year?
Last I heard he wasn't going to pitch. Barring some miraculous recovery he will retire. I can still here the Cashman haters whining about the Johnson for Ohlendorf, Jackson and Gonzalez trade.
You forgot about Vizcino who was a key part… don't know why anyone would wone about that trade. I'm not a huge Cashman fan but the deal had to be made. Has anyone really complained about that one or are you making it up?
I think Olendorf has promise as well.
if the yankees dont get off their duffs…and do something to improve the team,…well you know what will happen…with the tigers, redsox ..indians..angels already as good if not better along comes the mariners with a pitching staff to match any other team as long as they get bedard…the yankees have to somehow work out a deal for santana to balance the scale…sure its nice to keep the kids for future teams.but, you spend over two hundred million dollars just to be competitive…just doesnt do it for me…this is a new regime that iam not going to enjoy…
You have to find a balance between prospects and acquiring veteran talent. I agree that the Yankees are the same team from last year, for better or worse – but at the same time, when you have guys like Hughes, Chamberlain, etc. that don't just fall off of trees, you need to carefully weigh the options of being good now, or being *great* 3-5 years from now.
That being said, I think the Yankees/Cashman have done a great job. They keep giving Smith rope to hang himself with, and the noose gets tighter every day. If we would have made the trade a couple of months ago – we'd be out Hughes, Melky, Kennedy, and other prospects. Now, I suspect that if a trade happens, we can keep Hughes (which is key, imho) and give up less long-term.
i thought you said you were done posting until spring training?
too bad, i was looking forward to reading the same exact post for the 1000th time.
Joseph – In my view 2002-2007 was due to a lack of a quality ace & a dominant pitching staff… but if you feel Santana is a waste of money and resources fine… I'll be laughing next year when he wins another CY Young but then again I'll be pissed to think we could have gotten him.
right on jeff…cant anyone else see through this…i wonder if hank, hal and brian read these blogs..they should…maybe they will learn something…

Welcome to this installment of Kings Park Focus on Nature.
We're well into spring, and many species of wildlife in our area are busy raising their young. Kings Park residents are very likely to notice birds building nests, and then busily foraging for food to provide for their nestlings. I've noticed several nests right in my small yard – two robin nests, a mockingbird nest, and a pair of grackles that set up housekeeping near our front door.
I'm so pleased that these birds thought our humble yard had suitable habitat and good resources for raising their families. I was careful not to cause undo alarm for the adults when I took the photo's that accompany this article. I think you'll enjoy a close up look at the young robins, and yes, they sure are CUTE!
It's that attractiveness of fledgling birds that sometimes leads to problems in how we humans interact with them. This is the time of year when people will often encounter one of these appealing baby birds away from the nest. An understandable protective instinct kicks in. People assume the bird needs assistance, but unfortunately in trying to help, more harm is done than good. To understand why, let me try to clarify a few points about the development of birds and their habits, and provide a few tips about how or whether or not to provide any assistance to them.
Well, the egg comes first, we're clear about that! In some species of birds the young are able to walk about shortly after hatching. They are usually covered with protective down, and are mobile enough to follow their parents around and forage. These types of hatchlings are called precocial. These species tend to be shore birds such as terns, water fowl including ducks, and ground dwelling species, such as turkeys and bobwhite quail, for example.
The song birds, or "perching birds' such as the Robins and Mockingbirds I mentioned earlier, have young which are referred to as altricial. These go through stages of development. They hatch out featherless, blind, mostly immobile, and not very attractive looking. At this stage they are referred to as "nestlings". With mother and father birds feeding them about every 20 minutes during the day, the babies quickly grow. They develop down and feathers, open their eyes, and become able to stand. They are called fledglings in this phase of development.
As soon as they are strong and confident enough, the fledglings will leave the nest. Although the nest may seem like a safe place, it is best for the baby birds to leave it as soon as possible. Dispersing lessens the chance of the entire brood being taken by a predator. The fledglings will usually make this move before they are able to fly well. Their apparent haplessness at this time of their lives causes people to often think mistakenly that these young birds are abandoned. In fact, the birds are practicing flight, and learning to forage on their own. Their parents are still attentive, and will check up on and feed their young periodically.
If a threat is perceived, the adult birds will make alarm calls, and otherwise distract and harass would be predators with their presence. Predators may include hawks, raccoons, and foxes. However, house cats are the most common predator of both fledgling and adult birds in our area. These may be pets or feral cats, and throughout North America they are a major threat to bird survival on a large scale.
Sometimes there are legitimate situations where a fledgling does need help. Recently I came across a young Mockingbird which had fallen into a lidless garbage pail in our yard. (See the photographs of this bird.)
Since the young bird could not fly straight up out of the container, it was trapped. I removed it and placed it in the low branches of a nearby shrub, where its parents soonresumed protecting and caring for it. (The parents scolded me loudly for leaving the garbage pail lid off – I'm sorry, birds!) This would be an example of appropriate action to assist a fledgling. There are very few circumstances in which a young bird should be taken from the wild and 'helped". If a helpless nestling (featherless, unable to perch or stand) is found outside of the nest, look around for the nest which is likely nearby, and replace the bird. It is not at all true that a baby bird will be abandoned by the parents if touched by a human. Birds have a poor sense of smell, so that is not an issue.
If the original nest cannot be found, a small container with drainage holes and lined with tissue paper can be constructed to serve as a replacement. This can then be firmly affixed to the branches of a dense shrub or tree. Often the adult birds will still be nearby and will resume care.
If these measures fail, as a last resort the baby bird may need assistance of humans to survive. Your best bet in this instance is to contact a local veterinarian, who can most likely refer you to a licensed wildlife rehabilitator. Few people have the knowledge and time to take care of a young bird properly. Without understanding the animal's specific needs, more harm is likely to be done than good. Additionally, it's illegal to keep wildlife.
Birds are truly wonders of nature. They are unique in their adaptations, and have well evolved strategies for survival. We can best help them by creating and maintaining landscapes which enhance suitable habitat, and minimize hazards. Having done so, we can enjoy these remarkable creatures from afar, as nature intended.

With the opening day ceremonies behind them, DFL House and Senate Leaders have shifted their attention to major challenges ahead.
At a meeting with reporters, House Speaker Paul Thissen (DFL-Mpls) outlined a list of priorities, including the early framework of a plan to eliminate a $1.1 billion state budget deficit.
LOCAL LINKS: Karin Housley Takes Oath of Office in Minnesota Senate
Dettmer: MN GOP Found Solutions for Budget Issues Without Asking Taxpayers for Cash
Amid anticipated revenue cuts and tax increases, the priorities also focus on the need to invest and grow the middle class.
"The middle class continues to be squeezed," Thissen said.
He added that higher taxes on wealthy Minnesotans will be part of the upcoming discussion along with the tax code to ensure that it is transparent, fair and competitive. Despite limited funding, Thissen plans to have conversations concerning investments in higher education and early childhood as well.
Meanwhile, Senate Majority Leader Tom Bakk (DFL-Cook) made sure not to downplay the budget challenges ahead. He argued that Republican's rhetoric of success doesn't properly reflect the state of the budget that will take more than two years to fix.
"I think the number is just too big," he said. "The challenge is too big, I think, to be able to hand off to the next coming Legislature."
However, in a contrast from the previous session when Republicans controlled the Legislature, Bakk said DFLers will avoid borrowing and participating in a government shutdown to balance the budget.
Following the DFL press conference, Republicans defended their management of the debt crisis. Despite a $6.2 billion budget deficit two years ago, Senate Minority Leader David Hann (R-Eden Prairie) said they did not increase taxes.
"We left the budget in better shape now than it was two years ago," added Sen. Dave Thompson (R-Lakeville).
While DFLers now control the House, Senate and governor's office, House Majority Leader Erin Murphy (DFL-St. Paul) emphasized that there is plenty of room for Republicans to meet them in the middle.
"We're not always going to agree," she said. "In the end, I think Minnesotans will measure our success by the results we deliver."

Once the state gets into the habit of balancing its budget using Federal $$, it won't go back. This will essentially extend the ability to print money, and the exemption from balanced budgets, from the Federal to State levels, effectively starting the process of nationalizing the states. Maybe we ought to just close down the state houses as a way of removing a layer of middle management. Concepts which only six months ago were big foundations of our Republic seem increasingly quaint, don't they?
