Two people have been arrested in connection with the beating of a cab driver earlier this week in Southwest Philadelphia.
Police confirmed Wednesday morning that Nahfeeh Williams, 18, and Dawand Williams, 25, were arrested Tuesday night.
Sources tell FOX 29 News that the two are cousins.
Two men were seen on surveillance video leaving SEPTA's 69th Street Station, then getting into a cab and having the driver take them to 82nd Street and Lyons Avenue.
Once there, the suspects attacked the driver, then stole 100 bucks and debit cards from him, police reported earlier.
The cabbie needed 100 stitches after the attack.

Norwich Notes: Social Capital
William Norwich trains his eye on Washington, D.C., where a new administration has energized the scene. Sorry to break this news to any Manhattanites still in denial, but Washington, D.C., is the new New York. Even under the heavy blanket of recession, whether you are Democrat or Republican, there is energy in our nation's capital that you used to feel only in New York, the blissful to the bumptious all in a D.C. minute now, a kind of youthquake, or "youthfulquake," if you want to be generous about the ages. The novelist Jane Stanton Hitchcock, whose riveting murder mystery Mortal Friends (to be published this summer) is set in D.C., was a full-time New Yorker until she married Washington Post columnist Jim Hoagland thirteen years ago. Midway through her relocation, she noticed a shift when Dior, Ralph Lauren, Gucci, and Jimmy Choo, among other boutiques, began opening all in a pretty row in nearby Chevy Chase, Maryland. They weren't there to cater to aging Georgetown dowagers. "Then the Obamas arrived in Washington," says Hitchcock, whose novels decode America's social species the way John James Audubon's books did birds, "and unlike the Bushes, who declared themselves basically a gated community—they didn't want to meet any new people—the Obamas said they wanted to get to know their neighbors and their new town. That has really set the tone here," along with the excitement about Desirée Rogers, the dynamic White House social secretary. Nancy Reynolds Bagley, the editor of Washington Life magazine, attributes much of the new energy to an expanded presence of the media in D.C. "There were suddenly a lot more creative jobs than ever—career opportunities in television, communications, PR," she says. "Five years ago, it was hard for us to find graphic artists, photographers, and stylists. We were always importing those folks from New York. No longer—now I have a plethora of people to choose from." To be ever mindful of the recession but appeal to a younger mind-set is a directive the popular Washington events designer André Wells is being given constantly these days. For this month's thirtieth-anniversary gala for the Smithsonian National Museum of African Art, the goal is to mix young artists with philanthropists as well as high-ranking administration officials. Another Wells project, last month's The Young and the Guest List, a private party for under-40s, was set in a hip, empty warehouse rather than the St. Regis Hotel, where the event was held last year. Old Guard Washington social favorites remain, of course, but energized with a younger, Obama enthusiasm. For the best flowers, one still goes to Sue Bluford, who did all of Katharine Graham's arrangements. Lisa Crawford is the go-to personal shopper at Saks; at Ury and Associates, the Kenneth of Washington, ask for Sara. By day, Cafe Milano is the Beltway's Swifty's, filled with old chums, like a club; but at night, Hitchcock says, the place rocks with young people—"these amazing-looking girls who look like fashion models. You don't imagine they work at the Brookings Institute, but who knows?" Hitchcock, at work on her next murder mystery, Cover Girls, inspired by her appearance in Town & Country in the swinging sixties, also happily reports that no longer is the nation's capital a "sartorial stew of bad clothes and good jewels," or "dowdy squirrels," as she writes in Mortal Friends. Washington is still "a company town," Hitchcock says, "but it is also like a court, with the president and the First Lady at the top. No matter what you think of the president, if you're a hostess, you want him, or anyone closely associated with him, at your table." If one of these closely associated persons, namely his wife, "happens to be chic, that becomes the standard. In Washington, the people at the top dictate fashion. If the president takes to wearing anything special, you'll see that soon everyone is wearing it." She pauses. "When I first moved here, fashion was still stuck in the belief that if you were stylish, or your house too untraditionally decorated, you were somehow suspicious, not to be taken seriously—perhaps you were more interested in parties than policy. Slowly women like Hillary Clinton and Condi Rice began to change that; now Michelle Obama is proving there is nothing wrong—in fact, there is something right—about being youthful, chic, and serious. Suddenly, everyone is all spiffed up."
Makeup is melt proof, braids are back, and the season's sunniest highlights come in a bottle: Summer's best looks have never been easier—or looked better—than right now.

Kyle's a Candidate Now -- With a Higher Education Theme
From the AP's Eric Schelzig in Memphis:
State Senate Minority Leader Jim Kyle has formally joined the crowded field of Democrats seeking to become Tennessee's next governor.
Kyle said in his Tuesday announcement on the campus of the University of Memphis that his platform will emphasize improving graduation rates at the state's colleges and universities.
Kyle says his plan involves freezing tuition rates for students throughout their entire college careers. He also wants to create a scholarship program to persuade people who left school within a year of graduating to return to school and complete their degrees.
Kyle has served in the state Senate since 1983. He is joining a Democratic field that includes Jackson businessman Mike McWherter, Sen. Roy Herron of Dresden, former House Majority Leader Kim McMillan of Clarksville and Nashville businessman Ward Cammack.
(He also has a campaign website up and running, www.jimkyle2010.com)
More from The Commercial Appeal:
Kyle said he wants to use lottery reserve funds to allow college dropouts within one academic year of receiving their degree to return and finish, and he said he would deliver a promise as governor that "so long as you are making sufficient progress toward attaining a degree, we will never, never raise your tuition. What you paid as a freshman you will pay as a senior."
That line drew the biggest response of his nearly 15-minute address to a crowd that included a diverse array of Memphis' elected Democratic lawmakers and many insiders.
"We are going to build a higher education system in Tennessee that is focused on graduating students, not enrolling them," said Kyle.
Kyle's strategy appears to be promoting education reform, positioning himself as the closest heir to current Democratic governor Phil Bredesen and taking advantage of his connections and popularity in Shelby County, which has the state's largest Democratic base and where turnout is expected to hit unprecedented levels in the August 2010 elections.
Former Shelby County mayor Bill Morris presided over the announcement, and Kyle was preceded on stage by, in order, Memphis Mayor Pro Tem Myron Lowery, Shelby County Mayor A C Wharton and his wife Sara, who runs the Tennessee Public Service Commission.
A bit droll, but Jim is still the most solid candidate on that side.
"the Tennessee Public Service Commission"?

Indiana Glass History
Hen on a Nest
Crystal Hen - Lattice Nest - No Beading
Indiana Glass only made one style of Hen, just the nests changed over the years. The above hen is believed to be an older hen from the 1930's or 1940's. The older hens have no beading around the edge of the nest. They can be found with a lattice type nest or a stippled nest.
The Indiana Glass Hens were made in about 30 different colors. Please see a sampling of the many colors below. All these hens are the beaded nest variety made from the 1960's thru the 1990's.

Energy costs are hitting our pocketbook and Mom is feeling the pain. Nagging the kids about saving energy doesn't seem to make the point at our house. I've thought of making them pay me a quarter every time they leave the light on in their rooms. While punishment does work when parents are around, kids need to learn and internalize the energy-saving habit.
Energy-Saving Habit of the Week
Start small with one family energy-saving effort each week. When you make it a cooperative family effort, kids feel a sense of competence and belonging each time they take action to save energy. These are some of the simple changes you can try in your home. Print one with your word processor and post it in the house as a reminder.
- Turn off lights and electronics when you leave a room. Keep doors to unused rooms closed.
- In summer, use the microwave, crockpot, or toaster oven instead of the stove/oven. When using the stove/oven, keep lids on pots on the stove, match pot to burner size, and don't preheat the oven for too long.
- Turn off the water while you brush your teeth. Take five-to-ten minute showers instead of baths.
- Wash and dry full loads of clothes only. Wash on cool setting. Line dry many items. Do the laundry at night, not in the heat of the day.
- Don't hold the refrigerator door open!
- Change incandescent light bulbs to fluorescent CFL bulbs. If you replace 25 percent of your light bulbs with fluorescents, you can save up to 50 percent on your lighting bill.
- In summer, close drapes, use fans, and turn thermostat up to 78-80 degrees. In winter, open drapes and turn thermostat down to 68-70 degrees.
- Consolidate errands and cut out some car usage. Walk, ride your bikes, carpool, or get a scooter.
Kid Printables and Projects to Teach Energy-Saving Habits

Dear Amy: I am (now) a single dad of three teens, ages 13, 14 and 16. Their mom died suddenly last winter.
On the surface, the kids seem to be handling it. They tell me they are all right, but I feel they are trying to protect me because whenever I try to talk to them about their mother, I break down.
Should I continue to press the issue or leave it alone? Am I doing them harm by showing my emotions?
— Shattered Dad
Dear Shattered: Even though it can be shocking for a child to see a parent break down, what you are actually demonstrating is that it is OK to cry, certainly when you have something very real and potent to cry about. However, it's also important for your kids to see you start to heal.
Each member of your family will express this loss differently. One child might shut down, while another would get anxious, angry or simply want to flee. Deal with your children individually to gain insight about how each is doing — through everyday activities — not always prompting them to discuss this heavy and painful topic.
You need to be gentle with yourself and your loved ones, to get help when you need it, and to have compassionate and caring people in your corner. If possible, attend a grief-support group with your kids (your local hospital or hospice center can connect you with local resources). If you can't persuade your children to participate, attend these sessions (or private sessions with a therapist) on your own. You will also be demonstrating to your children the utility of seeking outside help when they need it.
The best part about displaying your authentic feelings in front of your children is that, through time, they will see you start to recover. They will be part of this process and if you huddle and muddle through this more or less together, your family relationship could strengthen in positive ways.
A book you should have at your house is "The Grieving Teen: A Guide for Teenagers and Their Friends," by Helen Fitzgerald (2000, Touchstone).
Dear Amy: Like "Had Enough's" daughter, I invited my mother to my fourth wedding. My mother did not attend, assuming it would not survive (just as the others hadn't).
In a few days, my husband and I will celebrate 25 happy years of marriage. No one knows which marriage will stick. It's best not to set up hostility at the start of what could be her daughter's "good one."
— Happily Married at Last
Dear At Last: For you, the fourth time is the charm. Congrats!

Bob Narcisi Sr., owner of DiPiero's Ristorante in downtown Lake Zurich, believes that everyone's first experience with ethnic food should be at an authentic restaurant, which can serve as a benchmark for further forays into that type of food.
"Whether it's sushi or Italian food, if you're not introduced to good, traditional food that represents that style of cooking, it's an injustice . . . The ingredients in a dish give it identity. You can adjust it, but certain things marry well, like French fries and ketchup. We try to produce food the way it should be produced."
Narcisi has been serving authentic Italian dishes at DiPiero's for 30 years. It is among the finest in the area for sampling and indulging in perfectly cooked and spiced, traditional Italian food.
DiPiero's offers an extensive menu of Italian entrees, especially considering that it is cooked to order and that the restaurant is small, just 12 tables. Entrees are $16-$26. Seafood lovers will find numerous selections including the Chilean Sea Bass alla Vernaccia and Tilapia Antico. Other popular dishes include the Pork Chop Vesuvio, slowly cooked in a white wine sauce, Butternut Squash Tortellacci, and Rigatoni Bolognese. Some favored appetizers are the Calamari Fritti with a signature dipping sauce and Bruschetta with marinated tomatoes. Desserts include Cannoli and Tiramisu that certainly do serve as the delicious standard for what those treats should taste like.
While the DiPiero's menu has expanded over 30 years, consistency is one of the trademarks of the restaurant. That consistency also includes the dimly lit dark wood interior and the staff, who have been with DiPiero's from 7-25 years. His chefs, brothers Octavio and Julian Jiminez, have been with him for 24 and 25 years.
Narcisi said when he makes changes they need to be subtle because his customers don't like big changes. After all, one of the things that sets DiPiero's apart is that it offers a comfortable sense of place that one can return to and know what to expect.
"There aren't many places like that," Narcisi said. "You can come here at 20 and come back at 50. You remember when your parents took you to the establishment and you can take your children to the same place."
Prior to settling in at DiPiero's, Narcisi managed and partnered in restaurants in Chicago. He now runs the restaurant with his sons, Bob Narcisi Jr and Jimmy Narcisi.
DiPiero's does not take reservations, and there is usually a wait on the weekends. But Narcisi said the wait isn't overly long and many customers dine at the bar, and in fact prefer bar seating.
DiPiero's also offers award-winning pizza and catering through DiPiero's Lakeland Caterers, located next door on Old Rand Road. The catering and pizza were winners in Lake Zurich-Barrington Patch Reader's Choice Awards 2012.
Narcisi encourages people to come out to DiPiero's, on the corner of Old Rand Road and Main Street, whether on a date with your spouse or your family, and start a tradition.

Dallas Cowboys
Kyle Orton - #18 - QB
|6' 4"/ 225 lbs.
|Altoona, IA
|Years played
|2005, 4th round, 5th pick by Bears
Jones maintains Phillips will not get fired
After yet another embarrassing home loss, this time to the Jaguars, Cowboys head coach Wade Phillips got another vote of confidence from owner and general manager Jerry Jones.
Garrard leads Jaguars past crumbling Cowboys 35-17
David Garrard tied a club record with four touchdown passes and ran for another while narrowly missing a perfect quarterback rating, leading the Jaguars to a 35-17 victory over the Cowboys on Sunday.
Kitna's arm means Cowboys mustn't change dramatically
There are actually silver linings to the Tony Romo collarbone injury that will keep him out at least six weeks at a time when there are very few Mr. Brightsides in the Greater Dallas area.
Cowboys may start third-stringer at left guard
News just keeps getting worse for the 1-5 Cowboys. They could be starting third-string OG Phil Costa at left guard in Sunday's game against the Jaguars.
Cowboys' Romo won't have surgery, faces 6-8 week timetable
Cowboys QB Tony Romo won't need surgery on his broken collarbone and could return to the field in 6-8 weeks, Cowboys spokesman Rich Dalrymple said today.
Best-case scenario for Romo
Cowboys QB Tony Romo will only miss six weeks following Monday night's clavicle and collarbone injury, according to NFL Network reporter Michael Lombardi.
Romo breaks collarbone; Giants beat Cowboys 41-35
Giants QB Eli Manning threw four TD passes, pacing the division-leading Giants to a 41-35 win over the Cowboys, who fell to 1-5 and lost QB Tony Romo to a broken left clavicle.
Romo injury leaves Kitna in tough spot
The broken left clavicle suffered by Tony Romo in Monday night's game puts a much less mobile Jon Kitna in the spotlight, where he'll be playing behind a lumbering offensive line.
Romo out with fractured clavicle
Cowboys QB Tony Romo was knocked out of the Monday-night game against the Giants with a fractured left clavicle. Early reports suggested he might be sidelined for several months, leaving the starting job to Jon Kitna.
Inactives for Giants-Cowboys
The Giants and Cowboys have announced their inactive list for the final game of the Week Seven slate.
Romo or not, Cowboys destined to fail
We saw everything we needed to know about this Cowboys team in their loss to the Giants, and it had absolutely nothing to do with Tony Romo.
What has happened to Cowboys CB Jenkins?
Cowboys CB Mike Jenkins has taken to grabbing opposing receivers' jerseys when he is beat in coverage, which is a bad habit for a player who had been developing into one of the league's fine young corners.
Cowboys OG Kosier to miss 2-3 weeks
Cowboys starting LG Kyle Kosier will miss games for the second time this season, this time because of a strained right Achilles tendon.
Vikings players of the week
Here's a look at the players of the week from the Vikings' 24-21 win over the Cowboys on Sunday.
Vikings win battle of underachievers
Percy Harvin's 95-yard kickoff return for a touchdown gave Minnesota a spark to start the second half, and the Vikings overcame another uneven game by Brett Favre in a 24-21 victory over the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday.
A person with knowledge of the decisions says the Dallas Cowboys have agreed to deals with quarterback Kyle Orton and cornerback Brandon Carr. The person spoke to The Associated Press on the condition of anonymity because the team had not yet announced Wednesday's deals.||||||| Orton, who finished last season in Kansas City after being released by Denver, has agreed to a three-year deal to be Tony Romo's backup. Jon Kitna, Romo's primary backup the last two years, retired after last season.
Orton got his revenge in leading the Kansas City Chiefs over the Broncos 7-3 on Sunday. He was 15 of 29 for 180 yards and no turnovers.||||||| Orton had laid low all week but he finally `fessed up after the game that this game had special meaning to him even though it was for pride and payback and not the playoffs. "I can't hide that," he said. "But I congratulate those guys. They're in. I congratulate them and I look forward to next year." Orton could earn the permanent job for KC in 2012.
An attorney says a class-action lawsuit naming Orton as a plaintiff was also filed on behalf of around 20 NFL players.||||||| The lawsuit filed this week in Cook County Circuit Court claims bad financial advice from the law firm Chuhak & Tecson cost Orton and the other players millions of dollars related to energy investments.
Orton threw for 300 yards in Saturday's 16-13 OT loss to Oakland.||||||| Orton was 21 for 36 with one TD and two INTs. His season finale is in Denver, where the Broncos unceremoniously dumped him in favor of the sensational Tim Tebow in what shapes up to be a fascinating gridiron encounter.
Struggling quarterback Tyler Palko is starting for the Kansas City Chiefs against the Chicago Bears on Sunday instead of newcomer Kyle Orton.||||||| The Chiefs were forced to turn to Palko after Matt Cassel suffered a season-ending injury to his throwing hand, and the results so far haven't been good. Palko threw three interceptions in each of his first two starts and committed seven turnovers in all during that stretch. Kansas City claimed Orton, the former Bear, on Nov. 23 after Denver waived him. Chicago and Dallas also put in claims, but the Chiefs got him because they have a worse record.

If the average human lifespan was 40 years, how would you live your life differently?
If this were the case, I'd have approximately 18 days before my impending expiration date. Yup, the big FOUR-OH is finally upon me — the day I've been creeping up to with eyes narrowed in suspicion and a sort of wary disbelief in my heart. (Is this really happening? For real? Um ... seriously?)
I don't feel 40 in many ways: I'm single, I'm going back to school, I still find humor in fart jokes, and I still enjoy comic books and zombie movies. (The last three of which might have something to do with the first — who knows?) There's no great career, no white picket fence, no husband to vacation with on anniversaries or to fight with over the bills.
Truly, besides the fact that I have two children, I'm still living basically the same life I had in my late teens and early 20s. The only real exception is that I have a mortgage to pay and the little added responsibility of the sole care and upbringing of two more human beings. (How did that happen and who in the heck left ME in charge?!)
But here I am, with four decades under my belt, scratching my head and wondering when life is gonna get around to starting. Ever hear the expression, "Life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans?" That's me, the perpetual planner.
It turns out that quite a bit of life happened to me in my first 40 years: I was born (I don't remember that, but I'll bet it was wicked crazy!), I won the sixth-grade spelling bee (I still have the trophy to prove it), I went to college, got married, had kids, and even had the dumb luck to convince a newspaper to give me my own column and subsequent blog.
I've met famous musicians, had my writing published in national magazines, and died and was resuscitated on an operating room table. I've suffered from and recovered from depression. I've lost every expendable organ in my body, but I've outlived my husband.
I've experienced loss and love, and loss of love.
I've gained weight and lost weight, and lost my way and found my way. I've made amazing, amazing friends, and nightmarish enemies. I've touched the hearts of some people, and I've hardened the hearts of others. I've been at times an incredible person, and at other times a waste of perfectly good human space.
I've tried and failed. I've tried and succeeded. I've experienced the incomparable miracle of being somebody's mom.
If I had to live my life over, knowing that I had only 40 years to do so, I think there would be only one solitary thing I'd change: I wouldn't live it not realizing that every miraculous moment was the extraordinary life I was waiting around for.

Cashman's Offseason Blueprint RevealedBy
Late last night we acquired copies of New York Yankee General Manager Brian Cashman's private and confidential 2011-'12 offseason plan. The content of these highly-sensitive documents have never made public before now. Many Bothans died to bring us this information.
(click images to enlarge)
As you can plainly see, Cashman has a solid plan in place, and if he's successful in its execution, the Yankees seem likely to win at least 145 games in 2012. In fairness, I don't give this blueprint better than a 25% chance of happening, but if confirmation was ever needed on just how wily Cashman is, mission accomplished. He can plan my castle onslaught any day.
Oh, and don't forget to follow me on Twitter, every 10th follower wins an iPad!

I WISH this was real!
Well played, Mauer.
Swisher-for-Cain is oddly out of place as something that might happen. It would be Swisher+more-for-Cain, but, depending on the more, both teams might have interest in that. Swisher & Nunez? I expect SF would rather see if they can land Beltran, but if he signs elsewhere, wouldn't this be of interest to the Giants?
I know, my trade proposal sucks.
(in this example, '+ more' = Montero)
still interested?
If the Giants asked for Swisher AND Montero for one year of Cain, Cashman would hang up ASAP.
So we trade Swisher for what would be a number three starter in the AL East.
I could live with it for a year then go after Upton or Kemp. Or they coudl get Cain and Beltran which would be epic.
What basis do you have for calling Cain a #3 in the AL East? The #3s in the AL East last season were effectively Bartolo Colon/Ivan Nova/Freddy Garcia, Lackey, Niemann, and Alfredo Simon. You are SERIOUSLY overestimating the pitching talent in the AL East.
The most "epic" thing about Beltran is his injury risk.
Cain – #3 starter in AL East.
Gonzalez – Too many walks.
Buehrle – Not enough strikeouts.
Darvish – Japanese. Enough said.
Edwin Jackson – Mediocre. Another AJ.
Wilson – Too much money. Really about a #3 starter.
I guess we are holding out for Walter Johnson or Sandy Koufax?
I'd feel comfortable with Matt Cain as a No. 2 on the Yanks. I still don't want the Yankees to deal Montero for him, but he's more qualified to be a No. 2 than Mark Buehrle.
No, I honestly doubt the Giants would be interested.
Maybe his low AVG and post-season struggles align against him, but Swisher very well might be in-line for a Werth/Bay type payday going into his 32 year old season (Bay was going into 31; Werth, 32).
Cain is in-line for a payday, but when he's going into his 28 year old season.
Asides from just keeping Cain, the Giants can look for younger, cheaper talent in return for Cain.
Perhaps they really love Swisher (and they do seem to love old guys and paying a steep price for offense), but I think the chances of that deal are pretty slim given that they can just keep Cain or look for another offer with Cain coming off a career year.
So, guess it depends on what the "+ more" is.
Swisher never had a season coming close to 5 WAR. His best season is in the low 4s. If Swisher gets a Werth or Bay contract that team is overspending consdiering that Bay and Werth are failing.
He won't touch those two.
My point was not that Nick Swisher will get paid as much as those two, it's that he will get paid and it might be in the neighborhood of those two. He's consistently been at 4 fWAR, and still has a full season before free agency. If he gets his lefty swing together maybe he has a career year going into free agency.
My main point was that I do not think the Giants will trade Cain for Swisher. By pointing out his faults, you've strengthened that point.
This response shows a lack of understanding regarding the terms of their contracts. As both players have one year left on their deal, their ages are entirely irrelevant, unless either team feels age is a factor in a very sudden decline. What Swisher might earn in a future contract is equally irrelevant.
Trade Cain for younger talent? He has one year left on his deal. You're not going to get a player with a similar WAR and multiple years of control. You can get a similar WAR, or multiple years of control, but not both.
If SF believes they can't resign Cain, they whiff on the FA OF market, AND they feel they can afford to trade a starting pitcher, then Swisher/Nunez does make sense for them. You've helped me decide: my trade offer does not suck at all.
That said, as I think of it further, it wouldn't work for PR reasons. Guys with low BAs, that work the count, and play adequate defense (but look bad doing it) aren't sexy. Drafting and developing your own #2 starting pitcher is. Unless Cain comes out and says he wants a Zito contract, this is too tough a sell for the fan base.
Listen, you asked if the Giants would go for that deal. I gave you my opinion: no. You don't have to get all defensive and act like you know more than other people. I am well aware of their contracts, I am not an idiot, and I disagree with you. Reasonable people can disagree.
There is no way to prove either side of this argument unless the trade actually happens. Otherwise it's all conjecture. I personally do not think the Giants would go for that deal.
If I were the Giants, I would not go for that deal. If the Yankees had Matt Cain I would not trade him for Swisher, and I highly doubt you would either. It's not a good trade.
I find it ironic that you criticize my understanding of player value given your comment above.
"As both players have one year left on their deal, their ages are entirely irrelevant, unless either team feels age is a factor in a very sudden decline."
No. That's just not true. Totally.
The Giants can and probably will re-sign Cain. They can do it this off-season. There's no reason to look at a young ace as only having one year left, unless you don't want to re-sign him or have reached out and been re-buffed. He's a long-term piece on that team. They're a big market team a year removed from the WS.
Even if they have no intent of re-signing him, they can look elsewhere to find a team that does intend to re-sign him and get better value than Swisher (or what I consider to be better value, and I like Swisher). When the Yankees told the Rockies they would not meet their demands of two top prospects, they didn't just fold. They sent Ubaldo to Cleveland. Same with the Yankees not meeting the other team's demands on Lee, Halladay, Greinke, etc. They just found other teams that offered what they thought was more value.
"What Swisher might earn in a future contract is equally irrelevant."
No. It's not. They are trading a young ace for him. Not only for they have to consider Cain's value vs. his, they also have to consider Swisher's value vs. other packages they can get. Swisher is either gone or expensive in a year. That absolutely impacts his value. Saying otherwise contradicts your first ridiculous point about the Giants viewing Cain as a one-year guy.
"You can get a similar WAR, or multiple years of control, but not both."
This flies in the face of reality. You get younger talent that is further away, therefore having more risk but also more reward. It's how the majority of MLB trades go down.
"You've helped me decide: my trade offer does not suck at all."
Again, dude, in my opinion it does suck. If Cain were a Yankee, would you trade him for Swisher?
"it wouldn't work for PR reasons"
It wouldn't work because Cain is more valuable long-term than Cain and because they can probably get a more valuable long-term offer for Cain than Swisher. The guy is a young ace. Teams will pay (prospects and $) for that.
Ted, don't waste your time. He's talking about trading Swisher for Cain. You don't need to dissect it. It's like a ridiculous fractal. It is ridiculous from afar and no matter how much you look into it, it will always be equally ridiculous.
SF already traded Sanchez, and for all the talk about the tremendous surplus of pitching San Francisco has, they currently have Surkamp and Zito battling for the 5 spot…. trade away Cain and those two are both in the rotation with Vogelson as the #3 pitcher and zero depth in the minors (they have noone close to ML ready)
SF will have to be blown away by an offer to deal Cain… there best bet for competing is on the back of their starting pitcher and a guy like Cain is much more likely to carry them than a bat in the lineup should they get to the playoffs.
I think you understate their pitching depth, but you are not understating their high-end pitching depth. I am convinced, they will not want to trade Cain unless they are out of contention in 2012.
"Improve rotation- for real this time" – LOL
The only thing that sticks out to me as unrealistic is the spelling of Cashman's middle name. MgGuire?
i think that is how he really spells it
There's no way that's right.
Wikipedia (a very reliable source, I know) says it's "McGuire." FWIW.
O'Grady and Montero to the HOF. The former for his wit, the latter for how he will hit.
This is hilarious…I appreciate a sense of humor, though I suspect that many of us in Yankeeland wish that at least some of these ideas might see some daylight somewhere.
i assume everyones on board with that josh johnson trade

I'm getting a little burned out with the statistical analysis of everything. I need a laugh after a hard day at work, or even a 10am break while at work.
I have read blogs and opinions that have made my day before. Surely this is one of the best. I do hope you bring more of the same in the future.
How many people will actually seriously think this should be the blueprint?
No reference to "I wonder what Sergio Mitre is up to right now" = false document.
I pray that the first question isn't serious.
i gotta imagine nobody actually thinks this is real.
I really feel like Javy 3.0 will be a success. Banuelos for Javy, straight up, should get it done.
I think there may be a page missing. Somewhere on that list should be: Let Mitre walk, re-aquire Mitre, relaease Mitre, bring back Mitre for playoff run
After reading this, my first thoughts were:
11.Do not post false breaking news. This is a zero tolerance item. You will be banned immediately if you are caught making up information. Breaking news should be emailed to one or all of use so we can start a thread with a new post.
Luckily this is a full post and not a comment, otherwise you would be banned and we would all lose out.
I appreciate your efforts Mr.O'Grady at humor. I know it took sometime to put this together. But in your attempt it does disclose some reality. We will know more on how much of your humor is not humor in the coming months.
I find it hard to believe any of those things listed above will happen. Aside from assigning God to his usual position of closer.
I think the most likely thing to happen on that list is the 2PM massage.

Speaking of Matt Cain, does the Jonathan Sanchez trade preclude any chance of the Giants moving Cain? I'd investigate this myself, but can't at the moment so I'd love some insight from the Yankee Universe.
I suppose anything is possible, but I'd think yes, the Giants won't move Cain. They don't have anyone to take his place in the rotation.
Of course, I never thought the Giants would move Cain anyways.
I can live with that. Never really wanted to loosen up this bear hug I have on Jesus Montero anyway.
It's hard to see a trade for a guy like Cain that doesn't involve Montero, so I can understand your desire to hang on to him for as long as possible.
You can't fool me — this was all stolen from listening to WFAN callers.
AND yeah, I wish it was true too. Since even that dream 2012 team would still have to play the games & win, nothing is a sure thing. What would be a sure thing — the look on the faces of all those drunk morons in Southie.
Boy, I sure hope I win that iPad!
All kidding aside, great piece. Made my gloomy day a little better.
hmmm, no one asked anything about the ipad. if only that were real.
I hope BC has a funny bone
You had me at "Many Bothans died to bring us this information."
Can i follow, unfollow, and follow again until i win an ipad???
Dear Dad (at least I think he is),
Where's your sense of humor? Stop being a curmudgeon and change the filthy oil to my go-kart and after you're done, get me some shark fruit snacks and a pair of AA Energizer batteries for the remote. NOW… you behemoth slob!

Annecy | The 'Venice' of the French Alps

I love France. And that's an understatement. But aside from the well-known wonderful places of Paris and Normandy (which I have both visited as well in 2013) there was one quaint city in the Rhône-Alpes region that will forever hold a special place in my heart: Annecy, said to be the 'Venice' of the French Alps.
I haven't been to Venice: I've only seen it in pictures. Yet sure enough, Annecy was some sort of 'Venice' with all its canals and boats. And aside from that, this town even had a charm of its own that's just worthy to be seen! But before I go on, let me go back to the very start, to that very first magical allure of Annecy and it started during the...

July 2013 was the first time I set foot in Europe (yaaaaay! and oh, please wait for more posts about this). Come August, Jonas and I embarked on a road trip to certain parts of the Schengen countries. One of the many places that we've visited was Annecy, located in the south-eastern part of France. For a start let me just say that this place was amazing!
Jonas picked it as one of our 'stops' since he fondly remembers the great memories that he had when his family went on a camping trip here when he was young. Aside from wanting to see it again, he also wanted me to see it! And I'm glad that he thought of it because aside from the wonderful sights and the magical view of the Lake Annecy (especially at night time!) we also had our first-ever experience of paragliding here!

Happy new year, lovelies! How did you welcome 2014? I bet ya'll had fun celebrating it; may it be with your family, friends... or both! And you know what? I especially like this time of transitioning to another year. Sure, it feels like any other day but we all have our own way of saying 'hello' to it which then makes it altogether 'special'.
Now, for me, other than having the opportunity to become really loud along with everybody else both with fireworks or noisemakers, it also gives me a chance to look back and forward.
So let me show you what I've accomplished last year, and what I plan to continue doing or aiming for this awesome year of 2014! ♥

SELFIES. There's a reason why it became this year's most popular word and it's because we all do it, even before the word was even invented.
However, for me, it took a while before I warmed up to this idea (or generally to the whole idea of taking pictures with my family and friends). Sounds weird, right? But you see... when I was young, I always wanted to be the one who just takes a picture of everybody, and it's fine if I'm not in it: a.k.a. I was "the photographer". And it's all because I have this love-hate relationship with a camera. Wait. Actually... it was mostly hate.

The year is about to end and if you're always on-the-go, you'll will need a planner for 2014 to keep things in order! Now, what's the best one out there? Well if you ask me, it would have to be the Belle De Jour (BDJ) Power Planner! I say this because when I was still in college, BDJ was such a life-saver, especially when I need to organize my schedule, responsibilities, projects, and more!
Though I reaaalllly want to keep this for myself (haha!) I feel generous enough to rather give it away, especially since it's the Christmas season! ♥ Now this giveaway will end on December 25, 2013 wherein one lucky girl will win a brand new BDJ planner and lifestyle card!
But if you're not a girl, of course you can join too so that if you win, you can give it to your girlfriend, sister, friend, etc. Right? -wink- Read on below to see what the prize includes as well as the mechanics on how to win it!

St. Charles County Department of Community Health and the Environment regularly inspects food service establishments throughout St. Charles County, except for within the limits of St. Peters.
Businesses are inspected one to four times a year or after public complaints. "Lower-risk" places, like gas-stations that serve pre-packaged foods, are inspected less often than "higher-risk" places, like a restaurant, said Doug Bolnick, spokesman for the health department.
The establishments begin with a score of 100 and points are deducted based on the severity of problems observed. According to the department's website, a low score does not mean the restaurant was unsafe on the day of the inspection.
"A place could have just one deficiency that garners a relatively 'high' score out of 100, but that the problem is so critical, it forces immediate action – while another may have two or three non-critical deficiencies that would give that provider a lower total score," said Bolnick.
Below, see the inspection scores for restaurants in the Lake Saint Louis area for July and August of 2012. To look up other scores, visit the health department's Food Inspection page.
Lake Saint Louis Food Inspection Scores:
- El Maguey (Lake Saint Louis Boulevard), score 91
- Subway (Lake Saint Louis Boulevard), score 100

Summary | Excerpt | Reading Guide | Reviews | Readalikes | Genres & Themes | Author Bio
"Life is fury. Fury-sexual, Oedipal, political, magical, brutal -- drives us to our finest heights and coarsest depths. This is what we are, what we civilize ourselves to disguise the terrifying human animal in us, the exalted, transcendent, self-destructive, untrammeled lord of creation. We raise each other to the heights of joy. We tear each other limb from bloody limb."
Malik Solanka, historian of ideas and dollmaker extraordinaire, steps out of his life one day, abandons his family without a word of explanation, and flees London for New York. There's a fury within him, and he fears he has become dangerous to those he loves. He arrives in New York at a time of unprecedented plenty, in the highest hour of America's wealth and power, seeking to "erase" himself. Eat me, America, he prays, and give me peace.
But fury is all around him. Cabdrivers spout invective. A serial killer is murdering women with a lump of concrete. The petty spats and bone-deep resentments of the metropolis engulf him. His own thoughts, emotions, and desires, meanwhile, are also running wild. A tall, green-eyed young blonde in a D'Angelo Voodoo baseball cap is in store for him. As is another woman, with whom he will fall in love and be drawn toward a different fury, whose roots lie on the far side of the world.
Fury is a work of explosive energy, at once a pitiless and pitch-black comedy, a profoundly disturbing inquiry into the darkest side of human nature, and a love story of mesmerizing force. It is also an astonishing portrait of New York. Not since the Bombay of Midnight's Children have a time and place been so intensely and accurately captured in a novel.
In his eighth novel, Salman Rushdie brilliantly entwines moments of anger and frenzy with those of humor, honesty, and intimacy. Fury is, above all, a masterly chronicle of the human condition.
Professor Malik Solanka, retired historian of ideas, irascible dollmaker, and since his recent fifty-fifth birthday celibate and solitary by his own (much criticized) choice, in his silvered years found himself living in a golden age. Outside his window a long, humid summer, the first hot season of the third millennium, baked and perspired. The city boiled with money. Rents and property values had never been higher, and in the garment industry it was widely held that fashion had never been so fashionable. New restaurants opened every hour. Stores, dealerships, galleries struggled to satisfy the skyrocketing demand for ever more recherch produce: limited-edition olive oils, three-hundred-dollar corkscrews, customized Humvees, the latest anti-virus software, escort services featuring contortionists and twins, video installations, outsider art, featherlight shawls made from the chin-fluff of extinct mountain goats. So many people were doing up their apartments that supplies of high-grade ...
If you liked Fury, try these:
Mistry evokes laughter and tears as he spins the great wheel of human life and charts the soul's confusion and the body's decline, the endless cycle of repeated mistakes and failures of heart, and, yes, the radiant revelations of love.

I've been away from this board, so excuse if already posted. Anyway, the Yahoo Team Report. My comments in bold.
Warriors Team Report
Yahoo! Sports 11 hours, 45 minutes ago
The Warriors hired Hall of Famer Jerry West to become an adviser in the franchise's front office and a member of the executive board. Yahoo!
West will work with the basketball operations staff and report directly to Warriors owners Joe Lacob and Peter Guber.
West, 72, spent 18 seasons as the Lakers' general manager and seven in Memphis' front office. He is a two-time NBA executive of the year.
"We are elated to add Jerry West and his incredible list of credentials to our Executive Board," Lacob said. "His accomplishments in this business as both a player and executive are almost beyond comprehension and certainly well-documented. He's simply a winner and, quite honestly, you can never have too many of those in your organization."
West is better known for his accolades on the court, where he was a 14-time All-Star with the Los Angeles Lakers and the inspiration for the NBA's logo. He is one of only seven players in NBA history to play at least 14 seasons in the league and be selected as a member of the All-Star team every year.
The Warriors are in the process of looking for a coach to replace Keith Smart, whose contract was not renewed in April. Under Smart, the Warriors finished the 2010-11 season 36-46, improving their record by 10 games from the year before, but management felt the need to go in a different direction.
Larry Riley was retained as the Warriors' general manager last month, and the team also hired former NBA agent Bob Myers to be the assistant general manager and Riley's eventual successor.
• The Warriors haven't offered their head-coaching position to anyone, but already three leading candidates have said no.
According to various news sources, longtime head coaches Jerry Sloan and Jeff Van Gundy and Spurs assistant Mike Budenholzer turned down Warriors requests to be interviewed for the position. Ouch on Jerry Sloan and I hear Budenholzer would have been a good pick.
They were far from the only three men contacted by Warriors co-owner Joe Lacob and general manager Larry Riley.
Even before the second round of the playoffs had ended, the Warriors had interviewed Lakers assistants Brian Shaw and Chuck Person, former Cavaliers head coach Mike Brown and two other current assistants, Lawrence Frank of the Celtics and Dwane Casey of the Mavericks.
The Warriors appear to be in competition for some of the candidates with other teams whose offseasons have begun with coaching vacancies.
Shaw, who grew up in the Oakland area, is considered a candidate to replace Phil Jackson in Los Angeles. Frank and Casey are said to be on the Rockets' short list to replace Rick Adelman.
Hornets assistant Michael Malone is another name that has been linked to the Warriors' search.
Season Highlight: The Warriors finished the season on an upbeat, beating the Mavericks, Trail Blazers and Lakers in consecutive games in April. But no doubt the most encouraging thing that occurred all season in fact didn't happen during the season at all. When a group led by Joe Lacob acquired the Warriors from Chris Cohan last summer, Golden State fans began to believe again. Adding David Lee and Dorell Wright along the way helped in the rebirth as well.
Turning Point: As with the Season Highlight, this occurred in the offseason as well. When Stephen Curry sprained his ankle in the lead-up to the World Championships, Warriors fans held their collective breath. It appeared he would have time to make a full recovery before Opening Night, but Curry reinjured the ankle in the final preseason game, a precursor to having to sit out games in two stretches early in the season because of subsequent flare-ups. Curry's minutes were limited most of the season and he never really recaptured his rookie season's magic, which many attribute to an ankle that was never 100 percent. Speaks for itself.
• Even though they had less than a one percent chance of winning the NBA Draft Lottery, the Warriors walked away a bit disappointed.
Why? Because the first two ping-pong balls to come out of the chute were 14-13, a starting combination the Warriors had on two "tickets."
The final two balls were numbered 7-8, however. The Warriors' tickets had numbers 9-8 and 10-8.
"One number away from getting the No. 1 pick. One number," Warriors representative Joe Lacob muttered to Warriors.com. Ooooooh...
The Warriors wound up right where they began the evening—picking 11th.
• The Warriors are expected to think big on draft night, especially with the 11th pick in the draft. So early speculation on the selection focused on Lithuanians Donatas Motiejunas and Jonas Valanciunas, Kansas' Marcus and Markleff Morris, Texas' Tristan Thompson, Morehead State's Kenneth Faried and The Congo's Bismack Biyombo. I like Jonas V and then Donatas M in that order. Also, high on Kawhi Leonard. Pass on Kanter. Intrigued by Morris if they trade down.
The Warriors went big seven years ago with the 11th pick and the results were pretty good … a least for a while. Andris Biedrins, the No. 11 overall selection of the 2004 draft, blossomed into one of the most consistent big men in the league early in his career, but he has since slumped into one of the most disappointing.
The Warriors also had the 11th pick in 2003 and selected another foreigner who's still in the league—guard Mickael Pietrus.
• The San Francisco Chronicle reported the Warriors' new ownership will not be retaining director of athletic development Mark Grabow, strength and conditioning coach John Murray, director of scouting Scott Pruneau and scout Jim Mitchell.
The report noted that Troy Wenzel, who replaced longtime athletic trainer Tom Abdenour on an interim basis late in the season, will remain with the team.
Quote To Note: "Changes are taking place within the organization from top to bottom. We've talked at length about improvement and a new direction. Joe Lacob's goal is to get every piece of this organization to be top-notch."—General manager Larry Riley.
Most Valuable Player: Monta Ellis. The Warriors haven't had an All-Star since 1997. In fact, they haven't even been in the conversation much. The latter changed this season. Ellis, who ranked among the league leaders in scoring all season, was considered by many to have been snubbed when he was not selected to make the trip to Los Angeles. Ellis played 80 of the 82 games, scored 20 or more points more times than not, moved over to point guard when Stephen Curry was on the bench or injured, and was almost always called upon to take the big shots at crunch time. He not only had his best season, but also solidified his position as a foundation block in the Warriors' future. Yup. I agree.
Most Disappointing Player: Stephen Curry. It would be easy to pick Andris Biedrins, who not all that long ago was deemed good enough to get a $54 million contract extension. But the big left-hander was just as ineffective last season, so at least his poor play could have been predicted. Curry wasn't nearly as embarrassingly bad, but he certainly rated as a disappointment. Here's how far the second-year guard fell: He entered the season as an untouchable in the team's rebuilding effort; he ended it as the most likely player to be dealt in the club's effort to find an upgrade for Biedrins. I would have picked Biedrins.
Biggest Needs: The Warriors fixed half their frontcourt problem with the addition of David Lee last offseason. He's a top-flight rebounder who can step away from the basket and keep his defender honest. So now the Warriors need to solve the other half of the equation—finding a complement for Lee. That guy ideally would be a low-post scorer and low-post defender. The Warriors might have to trade Stephen Curry to get this guy, which in turn would make finding a guard complement for Monta Ellis their greatest need. Whether Curry is traded or not, drafting a backup point guard is a must. Trade Curry and not Monta. LOL. I'm not advocating trading Curry unless it's for Chris Paul or Deron Williams. I doubt Cleveland would give up #1 Kyrie for Curry. That said, I've stated build around Monta, Lee and Curry.
Free Agent Focus: The Warriors have their top four players (Monta Ellis, David Lee, Stephen Curry and Dorell Wright) locked up, and they're stuck with Andris Biedrins, so their pending free agents aren't big-name guys. Louis Amundson, a disappointment this season as a first-year Warrior, has a player option on a $2.4 million second season. It's possible he's as interested in leaving a bad situation as the Warriors are in erasing a signing mistake. It would be a surprise if both Reggie Williams and Al Thornton, a pair of free agent swingmen, are retained. With $49 million in guaranteed contracts, the club figures to be at least a small-time player in the free agent market, depending upon where the salary cap lands in the new Collective Bargaining Agreement.
Player Notes:
• F/C Ekpe Udoh didn't exactly have a stellar rookie season, but that could be blamed on a thumb injury that cost him much of training camp and almost the entire first half of the season. Most people expect the Warriors to draft a big man with the 11th selection in June, but that might be considered a slap in the face to Udoh, last year's lottery pick. The Warriors finished the year expecting Udoh to be their starting center of the future. With David Lee set at power forward, you might conclude a team that missed the playoffs by 10 games has greater needs than a backup big man.
• G Jeremy Lin was a great story coming out of the Warriors' training camp. News that he had signed a two-year deal delighted most fans. But recently it has been reported that the second year of his contract is not guaranteed, rendering him to just another player at training camp this fall. I was rooting for him, but JL is gone next season if we can get a bench.
• G Acie Law has been the Warriors' backup point guard at the end of each of the last two seasons despite never holding the position at the end of training camp. Considering that he's a free agent again, it's possible his status will be the same—not on the roster—come opening night next season. If the Warriors go big with their lottery pick in June, they might look for their backup point guard of the future with the No. 44 selection of the second round.
Medical Watch:
• G Stephen Curry (sprained right ankle) played the Warriors' final 54 games, so obviously the injury wasn't serious. Or at least Curry never told anybody it was. But he didn't play nearly as well in 2010-11 as he had the previous season, after having injured the ankle in the offseason. After playing for the United States team in the World Championships last summer, what Curry needs now is a long vacation. That should assure his ankle is 100 percent for the start of training camp in October.

HOUSTON—Every day, military veterans from wars long ago pay a final salute to their fallen brothers at Houston's National Cemetery.
The volunteers are from the Ceremonial Detail for VFW District 4.
"We do services anywhere from 1 – 7 a day, 5 days a week," said their commander Gus Sicovsky.
On Tuesday afternoon, the man being buried is not just a brother in arms.
Gus Sicovsky chokes back tears.
"It's our brother," he said.
His little brother Phil Sicovsky was being buried. Gus Sicovsky, who is the detail's bugler, never wavered about the task at hand.
"I wanted to do it for him," he smiled adding, "This is your last hoot."
The fresh faced boys were three years apart, graduating from St. Thomas and serving in the navy. After retiring from oil field work both ended up in the ceremonial detail, working at Houston National Cemetery. Phil Sicovsky was the chaplain.
Brenda Bollom with American Heritage Funeral Home reflected on those times.
"They would come in the heat, the sleet, the snow, whatever climate of weather it was they would come out," she said.
There is a third Sivcosky brother already buried at Houston's National Cemetery. Two fought in WWII, the other in Korea and Vietnam.
Gus Sivcosky will be buried at another cemetery.
"That's where my wife is buried. I'm gonna get plopped with her, so we can still argue," he said.
His mind and body belie his years.
"I am 90. I was born in 1923," he said.
His bugle still blows strong and sweet. He will keep playing while he has breath left, to bid all his brothers goodbye.

MANKATO — It's been suggested to Chris Crocker that he move the 7@7 trail race from spring to fall, the founder of the Greater Mankato Multisport Club quickly scoffed at the notion.
"No, I want it to be in the spring," Crocker said. "I want it to be muddy. ... I hope there's still snow on the trail."
The third-annual race will take place Saturday at Seven-Mile Creek Park. Crocker expects up to 300 people to participate in the event, which includes a challenging 7-mile race, a 5-kilometer run/walk and a 1K kids run.
With the Mankato Gorilla Fun Run taking place April 20 and Saturday's YWCA Girls on the Run 5K, the running and racing season officially is in gear.
Between now and late October, when the Mankato Marathon and St. Peter Halloween Fun Run are held, there are dozens of running and biking races and events (for a list see The Free Press' Racing Calendar on Page D2), as well as multisport events like triathlons and duathlons.
Also Saturday, Gustavus Adolphus College will hold the Take the Hill Triathlon, while Sunday, the Minnesota State Triathlon will be held. Both events begin with pool swims, followed by lengthy legs of biking and running.
Crocker appreciates that the 7@7 race is one of the first events of the racing season, especially because it takes place at "a gem" like Seven-Mile Creek, whose trail system is used for training by runners and cyclists all year long.
"People like to run, and people love to have goals," Crocker said. "And goal-setting is important to us. You go to Seven-Mile to train, and you get spring fever and start preparing for the summer. And nothing prepares you for a race like running hills."
The increasing popularity of trail running last summer spawned a summer series called Muddy Shoes and Brews, and that will again take place this summer with six evening runs at Seven-Mile Creek.
But the season is also full of traditional events, including holiday races such as the 10Kato Memorial Day race, which will again take place on May 27 and the St. Peter Freedom Fun Run on the Fourth of July, as well as town festival races like Janesville's Hay Daze Fun Run (June 15) and Montgomery's Kolacky Days Bun Run (July 28).
There are also challenging endurance events such as the New Prague Half Marathon (May 11), the North Mankato Triathlon (June 29-30), the Waseca Triathlon (July 28) and, of course, the Mankato Marathon (Oct. 19-20), which will take place for the fourth year in a row.
A new race this summer is a leg of the Hy-Vee IronKids Series. Announced last week, it will take place on Aug. 3 at Spring Lake Park.
"That's huge," Crocker said. "It's a real testimony to what Mankato has become. It's no coincidence that the visitors bureau rebranded itself with a bicycle on its logo."
The race for boys and girls ages 6-15 will be one of two kids triathlons this summer, the other being part of the North Mankato Triathlon. Winners from the IronKids race can advance to the national IronKids over Labor Day weekend at Des Moines, Iowa. A few members of the Green Hornets, Mankato's kids triathlon team, made it to nationals last year from other regional races.
"Racing is about being fit, but it's also about spending time with family and friends," Crocker said.

All Day
The Heritage Center of Murfreesboro and Rutherford County is honored to host a traveling exhibition from the New York Historical Society entitled "Lincoln and New York." The Tennessee Civil War National Heritage Area partnered with the New-York Historical Society to sponsor the internship of MTSU public history graduate student Cheri LaFlamme Szcodronski. Szcodronski spent the summer of 2010 in New York City as a fellow and completed research for her thesis on the contraband camp at Grand Junction in West Tennessee. The ten-panel traveling exhibition includes a section on the emergence of contraband camps during the Civil War. Along with the New-York Historical Society exhibition, the Heritage Area's Emancipation and Reconstruction exhibition will be on display. It features two panels based on Szcodronski's research on Grand Junction.
"Lincoln and New York" probes the myths and controversies surrounding Abraham Lincoln. Starting with the iconic Mathew Brady image of Lincoln without his beard, the exhibition follows his earliest efforts to gain the blessing of the political and journalistic leaders of New York for a presidential run. Other panel images of rare period artifacts and caricatures show the political passions of the day, depicting the rising impact of the media and the first racial scare tactics used in a national political campaign. Original research explores New York's influence on the Civil War, the impact of emancipation, and the promotion of Lincoln's persona as he evolved from an obscure Illinois politician to a national martyr. Visitors who think they know everything about Lincoln will be startled to see so much that is new through not only the exhibit itself but also viewing a companion DVD and online exhibit.
The traveling exhibit will be on display at The Heritage Center through December 14th. Located just off the square at 225 West College Street, The Heritage Center is open 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., Monday through Friday (excluding major holidays) and features local history exhibits and guided walking tours of the town square on the hour. Group tours are available Monday through Saturday by advance reservations. Admission is free. For more information see www.hcmrc.org or call 615-217-8013.

Trenton Mayor Kyle Stack said her patience with the owners of Legends 1926 Bar and Grill is running thin after the restaurant has fallen behind more than $35,000 in rent and concessions.
The issue was brought before Trenton City Council at a regularly scheduled meeting Monday night when Councilman Bill LeFever expressed concerns over the lack of payment.
In December 2011, the restaurant group that owns Legends , as well as additional payments to cover proposed lost concession revenue for the city.
Kennedy Restaurant Group LLC has an outstanding debt with the City of Trenton of $35,078 dating back to May, according to City Administrator Jim Wagner.
Wagner said he sent a default notice to the restaurant group on May 23 and a second notice last week requesting payment, but had not received payment as of late Monday night.
"There were concerns on our part of their ability to pay the indebtedness," Wagner said.
Wagner told council members the restaurant group promised an agreement to resolve the issue Monday, but no agreement was received by either Wagner or city attorney Wallace Long.
"I told them that time is of the essence to resolve this issue forthwith," Wagner said.
If payment is not received, Wagner said city officials will begin legal proceedings as per the terms of the contract between the restaurant group and the City of Trenton. He added there will be a final determination regarding the issue by the next council meeting.
LeFever said, though the food is good and he wants the restaurant to succeed, he wants the city to be compensated fairly.
The next Trenton City Council meeting is scheduled for 8 p.m. August 20 at Trenton City Hall.

Basham, out of Hargrave Military Academy, is an enforcer on and off the gridiron.
Fans saw first-hand how Basham punishes quarterbacks and ball carriers: In his redshirt freshman season, the 6-foot-4, 250 pound defensive end recorded 32 tackles and a team-high 7.5 sacks. He was rewarded with a spot on the Football Writers Association of America's Freshman All-American team, and named to a number of watch lists both in the MAC and nationally.
So the Ohio Athletics Youtube channel published a video Monday showing how Basham keeps the department focused on the task at hand.
The "Office Enforcer" lays down the law with an open-court tackle on a lollygagging employee watching basketball practice instead of focusing on the task at hand.

Physical & Chemical Change Activity
Is Humpty Dumpty falling off the wall and cracking on the ground a physical or chemical change?
I love the Far Side Cartoon with Humpty Dumpty as a giant omelet in a diner, and the caption says something like "Humpty Dumpty's final days". Would that be a physical or chemical change?
I usually use the Humpty Dumpty analogy when I start talking about Physical and Chemical Changes.
This following activity is one that I used last year for the first time and it worked really well. The kids were so engaged and felt really satisfied when they figured it out. They will be able to use their Foldable as a resource for this activity.
Left Side:
To prepare this lesson, I printed out the activity cards on pages 2 & 3, laminated them, and cut them apart. I placed each set of cards in a zip-top bag, one per group of 2 students.
On their desks, I have the students place the "Physical Change" card to their left and the "Chemical Change" card to their right. Now they have to sort each card into the correct column. You can do one together to demonstrate the procedures. The kids continue to sort the cards until they have all 15 lined up in the correct columns. When they are done, they raise their hand to call me over and see if their cards are in the right place.
I walk over and when they ask if they have it right, I smile and say "Nope". (Usually there are a few in the wrong spot, no one got it on the first try last year). So now they have to evaluate what they did and figure out what is in the right spot and what is not. I usually give the kids 2 or 3 tries without any hints from me. Then I give hints like "You have 3 in the wrong spot" or "Everything in your physical change column is correct so far." (There may be 1 or 2 in the chemical change that need to be moved over.) Or "You have to switch one from each column", but I won't tell them which ones.
Once they have everything correct, I push/pile up the physical change card together and give them to one lab partner and tell them to write it in their lab journal. I push/pile up the chemical change cards together and give it to the other lab partner to write in his/her lab journal. Then I tell them to switch cards so they have everything written down in both journals. We keep it top secret so their nosy neighbors don't see their answers! =)
I love seeing the lab partners talk about where each item goes and they get into some great discussions, they try to reason with their lab partner, they compromise, sometimes they argue, etc…
Right Side:
Students will answer analysis questions and write a conclusion.
Answers for Physical Change: cracking eggs, slicing bread, ice melting, glass breaking, boiling water, fresh lemonade, mowing the lawn.

Some people will cry, "He's an analyst! He knows things we could never even hope to know!" To that, I nod my head slowly, but I still come up with the following:
IF the Wii U sells EXACTLY as it has been for the past month or two, then yes, Pachter will be correct. However, we all know that isn't going to happen, for better or for worse (hopefully the better!)
Also, I really don't care what kind of company insight this analyst may be privy to, but in most venues learned people are slow to make such grandiose predictions before a product has hit the market. Sports analysts love making predictions, but are humble enough to always acknowledge they could be wrong. Restaurant chains test new ideas in select states before launching nationwide, as there is no reliable way to know how well a product will be received until it is in the hands of the public.
Just my rational two cents.

Fullscreen app demonstrated on the Apple TV [Jailbreak]
Following the hack that allows fullscreen apps to run on the Apple TV, developer Jack Perry, known as @Jackoplane on Twitter, decided to try porting his own apps to the bigger screen.
A quick preview of Frequencies for AppleTV... Waiting for @stroughtonsmith to test it on a real device.
The tweet was followed up by Steven Troughton-Smith showing the app running at full 720p on an actual Apple TV.
Some Beautiful AppleTV apps coming together right now; this one from @Jackoplane is nice.
The app, Frequencies, is a simple internet radio tuner, but demonstrates how the idea of fullscreen apps might work on the Apple TV. And it's really quite exciting.

Coster, Jenalee (2008). The Effects of Voluntary Exercise on Acquisition of an Olfactory Learning Set in Long-Evans Rats with Lesions to the Nucleus Basalis Magnocellularis. Mentor: Dr. Aileen Bailey
The current study examines the effect of exercise on lesions to the nucleus basalis magnocellularis (nBM) on acquisition of olfactory discrimination learning set (ODLS). Exercise animals were given free access to a running wheel five days following surgery. Animals did not differ on pre- to post-surgical measurements of activity level in an open field, nor did animals differ in percentage of time spent on a novel object during a novel object recognition task to assess working memory. Therefore, there were no deficits in activity or working memory among the animals that would impair acquisition of ODLS. Sedentary and exercise sham animals and SAP exercise animals performed significantly above chance on trial 2 indicating learning set acquisition. SAP sedentary animals did not perform above chance on trial 2 indicating that they were unable to acquire a learning set; however, on trials 3-5 they were able to perform significantly above chance indicating olfactory abilities were intact Furthermore on block 1, sham exercise and SAP exercise performed significantly above chance. Exercise enabled animals to form a learning set more quickly compared to sedentary animals. In conclusion, SAP lesions to the nBM impaired acquisition of ODLS, but those deficits can be overcome with voluntary exercise. Histology still needs to be completed to ensure lesion placement and acetylcholinesterase levels in the nBM and cortex. Although, more animals need to be added and the results replicated, there is a strong trend that shows exercise is important to counteract cognitive deficits caused by lesions to the nBM.
