CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Lightning kills and causes permanent injury to hundreds of people every year. It is a serious danger.
All thunderstorms, severe or benign, contain lightning. There is no safe place outside when lightning threatens.
Anytime you can hear thunder you are within striking distance, so when thunder roars, go indoors. Too many people delay seeking shelter until it is too late.
Substantial buildings and hard-topped vehicles are safe protection options. Rain shelters, small sheds and open vehicles, like golf carts, are not safe.
Avoid open garages, covered patios, picnic shelters, baseball dugouts, sheds, greenhouses or golf shelters.
Once inside you need to stay away from plumbing fixtures, like showers, bathtubs and sinks. Avoid corded telephones. It is a good idea to unplug electronics, like stereo systems, gaming systems and computers.
Absolutely avoid seeking shelter under trees or clusters of trees. Lightning is often attracted to these tall objects and you are at risk of serious injury even standing beneath one.
If someone is struck by lightning, they will likely need immediate medical attention. It is important to note that lightning victims do not carry any kind of electric charge and are safe to touch.

Education Publications Tout NJIT To Consumers
Two prominent publications covering higher education have recently praised the quality of education at New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT). U.S. News & World Report's annual "Best Colleges" ranking and Black Issues in Higher Education have cited NJIT for all-round excellence as well as for high graduation rates for minority students studying technological fields.
"This year's rankings have been especially gratifying," said Joel S. Bloom, Ed.D., vice president for academic affairs and student services and dean of the Dorman Honors College. "We have been singled out for our continuing good work helping disadvantaged minority students. And for the second consecutive year we made the U.S. News ratings."
NJIT ranked 117 out of 126 universities on the select U.S. News "top schools" ranking. There are nearly 600 such U.S. universities, according to the U.S. Department of Education, but the magazine does not rank all of them. NJIT's ranking ties it with Howard University, the State University of New York at Stony Brook, the University of Oklahoma and the University of San Francisco.
The magazine uses expert opinion about program quality and statistical data that it says are reliable indicators of the quality of a school's research, faculty and students. Among the criteria used to score schools are the rate of students who graduate, class size, the student/faculty ratio and the class ranks and test scores of entering freshmen. In a separate study, the undergraduate engineering program at NJIT was rated 84th out of 115 ranked engineering schools.
Robert A. Altenkirch, Ph.D., president of NJIT, said he was pleased with NJIT's ranking as one of the top schools in the nation.
"While the U.S. News & World Report ranking of universities may not derive from the most scientifically based survey methods," Altenkirch said, "it is a popular one and conveys some useful information to the prospective student and the public. We are pleased to see NJIT placed solidly within the top group of national universities."
In terms of diversity, Black Issues in Higher Education recently ranked NJIT among the nation's leading schools for graduating African American, Asian and Hispanic students for 2001-2002.
"NJIT has been repeatedly recognized for being in the top ten percent in the nation for awarding baccalaureate degrees to minority African-American engineers," said Bloom.
Two important programs help NJIT achieve the dual status of being nationally ranked without sacrificing a deep commitment to diversity, Bloom said. NJIT's quality Educational Opportunity Program (EOP) allows the university to remain a top opportunity school, he added, as a result of the counseling, tutoring and scholarship services available to the EOP students at NJIT.
The Dorman Honors College at NJIT, with an enrollment of 650 students and an average SAT score of 1350, enables the school to compete for top students. And such high-caliber students help raise NJIT's status in academic rankings such as the one produced by U.S. News.
This year, the magazine ranked NJIT 7th in the nation and 1st in New Jersey for awarding 19 master's degrees in engineering (13 to men and 6 to women) to African- American students; 12th in the nation and first in New Jersey for 15 master's degrees in engineering (11 to men and 4 to women) to Hispanic students; 15th in the nation and 1st in New Jersey for 29 master's degrees (17 to men and 12 to women) to Asian Americans.
Undergraduate engineering at NJIT also demonstrated high numbers. This year, the magazine ranked NJIT 16th nationally and first in New Jersey for awarding 38 baccalaureates in engineering to African Americans. Of that number, males received 31 degrees and females received 7 degrees.
Lastly, NJIT graduates significant numbers of Asian students. The magazine ranked NJIT 2nd in the nation and 1st in New Jersey for awarding 57 master's degrees in computer and information sciences to Asian Americans (40 to men and 17 to women). NJIT ranked 6th in the nation and 1st in New Jersey for awarding 120 bachelor degrees in computer science to Asian Americans (82 to men and 38 to women).
The university ranked 10th in the nation and 2nd in New Jersey for graduating Asian-American students with baccalaureates in computers and information science. According to the publication, 100 students graduated. Of that numbers, 73 were men; 27 were women.
The magazine, which has produced the annual poll since 1992, examines the graduating numbers for African Americans, Hispanic and Asian students in the United States. The data for the study come from the U.S. Department of Education. It is collected through the Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS) program survey conducted by the National Center for Education Statistics.

Gammons quotes Rangers official: 'We got Upton'
MLB Network's Peter Gammons was present and recently tweeted about some of the "fun" surrounding the endless trade rumors about Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Justin Upton:
If you don't believe the multi-team Upton trade talk, Wednesday night a Rangers official called an Astros officisl and said, "we got Upton."— Peter Gammons (@pgammo) December 7, 2012
Upton has been part of trade rumors for the last three offseasons, and his name has been one of the most talked about at this year's gathering.
Obviously nothing is official at this point and Gammons' tweet could indicate just how close the trade was to going down before the plug was pulled. It could also indicate that the deal is close to consummation.
Thursday, talk of complicated three and four-team deals surfaced with Upton being one of the centerpieces for potential swaps. Other teams that have been rumored in such deals are the Tampa Bay Rays, Cleveland Indians, and of course, the Texas Rangers.
Based on Gammons' tweet, Friday could be an interesting day on the Upton front.

Rays clinch wildcard on walk-off homerBy
Baseball achieved perfection on September 28th, 2011. Just shut down MLB. We're never going to top this.
One Strike
I mentioned this the other day, but when we sat down a few weeks ago to figure out what series would be a good one to attend, we picked this one because it had the potential to be meaningful. Then the Yankees went and clinched everything within a matter of days, and as far as they're concerned, this series meant nothing. Just don't get hurt, that was the goal. I flew down Monday morning expecting three Spring Training games, but holy smokes. This was the most amazing trip ever.
I can't even put this into words. This one had total laugher written all over it (more on that in a bit), but then the comeback. Oh my goodness that comeback. Boone Logan got it started with his general awfulness, and Luis Ayala continued it by allowing a huge, enormous three-run homer to Evan Longoria to cut the deficit to one in the eighth inning. Then Dan Johnson. My word. I mean, you do realize the Rays were down to their final strike of the season, right? Down a run, two outs, 2-2 count, and Cory Wade left an 83mph changeup right over the plate to his teammate with Tampa's Triple-A affiliate earlier this year. Solo homer, tie game. This place was nuts. Completely deafening.
Johnson has a knack for this stuff, you know. He hit a monster pinch-hit homer off Jonathan Papelbon in September 2008, keeping the Rays in first place during their run to the World Series. He hit a walk-off homer against the Sox late last season as well, keeping them within striking distance of the division crown, the division crown they eventually won. There's a reason Jonah Keri calls Johnson the Great Pumpkin, the guy rises up once a year to do this. Simply amazing.
Just One More Strike
At some point during the bottom of the 12th inning, half the televisions in the press box tuned into the Red Sox-Orioles game. The Sox were still winning at that point, but when I turned my head to look at the screen, all I saw was outfielders running for a ball. The crowd erupted. I have no idea how they knew, but they knew. The Orioles had just tied the game. The cheers were so loud that B.J. Upton had to step out of the batter's box. Papelbon had Nolan Reimold down to the final strike of Baltimore's season when he gave up that game-tying double, the same final strike of the season that Johnson was down to against Wade. Just one more strike. That's how close each team was to the end of their season. One strike.
A few moment later, Robert Andino – surely Robert effin' Andino by now – singled to left. Reimold chugged around third. The cheers started about halfway between third and home, and they somehow got even louder when he slide in safely with the winning run. One more strike, that was it. That close to winning the game, and Boston couldn't get it done.
Not even a minute later (apparently it was eight minutes later according to the announcement here, but I don't buy it), Longoria hit Scott Proctor's 56th pitch out of the yard on a line drive to left. Game over, season over. For the Red Sox, anyway. The Rays completed the comeback from seven runs down and nine games back, and are headed to the postseason as the wildcard team. Boston goes home, home to answer questions about a historic September collapse. This place just exploded. I thought the building was loud after Johnson's homer, but that was nothing. The fans were just warming up their vocal cords. I can't believe that just a few days ago, I came down here expecting boring games. This was absolutely incredible. The very reason I love this game. No other sport can top this.
Save Some For The ALDS
As you already know, things started very poorly for the Rays right in the very first inning. What should have been a scoreless, 19-pitch inning for David Price turned into a one-run, 29-pitch inning when Ben Zobrist booted what should have been an inning-ending ground ball by Robinson Cano. Completely routine play, Zobrist just straight up botched it. Just like that, the pressure was on Tampa.
The game was decided (or so we thought) after Mark Teixeira hit a grand slam on a 3-2 fastball with two outs in the second, a shot that took the wind right out of the sails of pretty much everyone at Tropicana Field. Price completely missed his spot, but that wasn't the problem. You know what the problem was? It's that Price allowed a double to Eduardo Nunez, a single to Brandon Laird, and a walk to Derek Jeter. You're just asking for trouble when you do that, and Tex was happy to oblige.
It was 5-0 after the grand slam, the Yankees tacked on two more runs when Teixeira hit a solo homer in the fourth and Andruw Jones hit a solo homer in the fifth. This was Tex's fourth multi-homer game of the season, and the 33rd of his career. Just think, he came in with just seven hits in 31 career at-bats against Price (.226).
Jeter needed to go 1-for-1 or 2-for-4 to finish the season at exactly .300, but he went 0-for-3 with a walk to finish at .297. Considering where he was earlier this season, just getting up to .297 is a minor miracle.
The Yankees had runners on the corners with no outs in the top of the 12th, but got out of it when Greg Golson got caught too far off third base and Chris Dickerson struck out ahead of Brett Gardner's ground out. Pretty amazing how close we were to a very, very different story.
The next pitcher set to come out of the bullpen for Tampa was Jamie Shields, who threw 117 pitches on Monday. Furthermore, Joe Maddon said after the game that Upton had some cramping (I believe in his leg, but don't hold me to that), and was going to have to come out of the game if there was a 13th inning. They were out of position players, so they would have lost the DH.

Hard to believe it, but the regular season is over. The Yankees are off on Thursday in the sense that they don't have a game to play, but they are holding a workout at Yankee Stadium in the afternoon. The ALDS kicks off on Friday night, when CC Sabathia takes on Justin Verlander and the rest of the Tigers in Game One.

I'd just like to say, I've literally lost all respect I had for Adrian Gonzalez. I can't believe his post game comments. just appalling.
Wow, very weak comments. Cause the Red Sox were the only team that had to deal with injuries this year. The Cardinals even lost their freakin ace in Wainwright and still found a way.
Not to mention their best player for a while too.
I didnt realize God wanted the Red Sox to miss the playoffs so much
You didn't know God was a Yankee?
Its always seemed a little fair we get Mo… I mean we are already the Yankees but he get God?
Not to mention Jesus is coming!
Not that bad, he's just cocky and said the team should have won but ran in to injuries. Thats an ongoing bullet point for every Red Sox losing team. I brought it up last year, people said Francona should have won the manager of the year with all the injuries, if 2010 or 2011 happened in New York and the team blamed it on injuries, Girardi would be out of here. 2007 was a product of injuries for New York, and beloved Torre didn't have writers pleading to give him manager of the year. Yankees are held up to another standard, and you wouldn't find a player caught dead blaming a loss on injuries.
"Ayala was getting squeezed."
Wow. Really? That's weak. Not to mention, I don't know, weren't you playing a game while Ayala was pitching?
I'm also quite a fan of the fact that when I opened that page, a giant ad for the postseason played for 15 seconds.
baseball to every other sport:
how's my ass taste?
Hahaha good One
My God.
Highlight of my 15-year-old life.
Having this Yankee team when you're 15 > Having the 1989 Yankees as your team when you're 15.
One more time:
Will that ever get old? Nah.
Not until we see the 2012 Red Sox will challenge the 1927 Yankees for best team ever article.
Seriously. Impossibly amazing final day of the 2011 baseball season. My mind is absolutely blown, we might never see such a perfect storm of games again.
As a side note, none of this would have been nearly as interesting with an extra wild card spot. Something to think about.
Wow one of the best days in baseball history in a long time….just amazing.
Oh by the way..LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO @ RED SUX BITCHES!!!!!!!!!
I won't repeat what I said in a previous thread, except to say that this was not one of the best regular season nights in baseball history, it was THE best regular season.
* Best night in regular season history.
4 team's seasons, 2 HFA's decided in about 5 hours, I find it hard to argue with that. certainly the most fun I've ever had watching baseball outside of the postseason.
Yankees get swept, hit into a triple play last night, blew a 7-0 lead tonight…
and I'm fucking ecstatic. God I love baseball.
Most exciting getting swept ever? Most exciting getting swept ever!!!!
those are the 2 WPA graphs of the century right there.
I think the BaseballProspectus supercomputer might actually shed a tear when it's forced to update the playoff odds.
Damn thing has had a bigger lovefest w/the Sox all season long than even Gammons.
AND the Braves played an extra-innings game with their season on the line AT THE SAME TIME AS ALL THIS WAS HAPPENING!
Better add a second wild card to get some late-season drama going, huh? This week was BOOOORRRRRIIIIIINNNGGGG
While it will be tough to match the excitement of tonight any year in the future, don't you think it is possible there will still be drama leading up to the 4 MLB wildcard slots? It could still come down to the last day of the season to determine who gets the wildcard slots.
Then what problem are we fixing by adding them? Clearly the problem is not that there's no drama in the last weeks of the season. What's the problem, then, that necessitates this shakeup, and moving the Astros to the AL and playing an interleague game every night?
The problem that the division titles have almost become meaningless because its so at par with the wild card. For some of us traditionalists who come from an era where the division titles meant everything that's a big problem.
And why leave it to there being a chance of having drama when they can have automatic drama built in every year.
There is no automatic drama built in in any system. If there were only 1 spot in each league, the race would have been over last week. 2 would have been exciting, and 5 would have been boring.
Just gotta stick with a system, some years it'll be exciting, some years it won't. If we change it based on each year's race, we'll change it every year.
Manufactured drama isn't drama. It's lame. There'll be years where the 2 wildcard teams are separated by several games, and have already played each other 19 times during the season.
And this notion that winning the division doesn't mean anything is stupid. The Yanks and Phils won their divisions and had the luxury of not having to care about all the drama for the last week. The Giants were in a three team dogfight for two spots on the last game of last season when they won the division last year. Were they not playing hard?
"Manufactured drama isn't drama. It's lame."
If they had the extra WC in 2008 there would have been a sudden death game between the Sox and Yanks in Fenway. Yep, that sounds real lame to me.
"The Yanks and Phils won their divisions and had the luxury of not having to care about all the drama for the last week"
And now the only "luxury" they have is 1 extra game of home field advantage.
Mike, you killed it in your recap. Perfectly said. Well played, good sir.
espn picking Detroit and Texas.
Get ready for a Yankee/Tampa ALCS.
No bitterness there. Stay classy, ESPN.
Karl Ravech is complaining the Yanks didn't help out Boston.
Sox didn't help themselves.
that's the kind of stuff that makes you wanna throw your TV out the window. I mean do these idiots even realize what they're saying? The Sox could have gone .500 in September and taken the WC easily. Suggesting the Yankees have to help them out by unloading their bullpen in a meaningless game for them is just insane. NESPN at it's finest.
They didn't even have to go .500. The Yankees finished last season 9-16. Boston would've easily made the playoffs with that. It's amazing.
Not to mention, the Yankees without their regulars are basically equal to the Orioles. The Rays swept the Yankees to get in the playoffs, the Red Sox lost 2 of 3 (and 5 of 7) to the Orioles. Losing 5 of 7 and blowing two saves to the Orioles is what killed the Sox.
That late inning lineup was arguably worse than the Orioles.
Expect a couple of those. Like seriously for anybody to blame the Yankees for another team's mishaps is just plain ridiculous. But then again its cool to say shit about the Yankees so oh well.
Didn't help out? They let Austin freaking Romine bat in the bottom of the 9th bases loaded two out tie game with Arod and Jeter on the bench!
THey didn't? who was the team that help Boston end their 0 for xx streak to start the season?
Headline in tomorrow's Boston Hearld: "Choke's On Us"
I'm not much for visiting other team's sites to drink in the schadenfreude but Over the Monster is just delightful right now.
I feel like Cartman:
Yes! Yesss! Oh, let me taste your tears, OtM!
Mm, your tears are so yummy and sweet!
Oh, the tears of unfathomable sadness! My-yummy!
http://www.sportsclubstats.com.....yoffs.html This might just be the greatest chart in history
Thanks for sharing. I may use that for the blog I write for.
I'm also going to heavily criticize that NESN piece for my blog. I've been waiting since January to do that and the day has finally come.
I will have to check out your blog. I definetly want to see what you will write about that amazing Eric Ortiz article
Don't worry I'll come up with something good. I'll share it on an Open Thread or something. It'll be up before the playoffs start.
This is soo priceless. To me, this tops 2004. I don't care. That Yankee team in '04 could at least make it to the ALCS, let alone make the playoffs for Pete sakes. Boston is the "City of Championships". But look at their recent chokes. 18-1 choke by the Pats in '07, Bruins 3-0 choke against the Flyers (yes I know they won the Cup the following year) the Celtics choking a 3-2 lead in the Finals against the Lakers after choking a 3-2 lead against the Magic the year before. And now this, the only team in MLB history to choke a 9 game September lead. The team that was supposed to unseat the '27 Yanks as the greatest team ever. The team that was picked by EVERYONE to win the AL East, and picked by most of those "experts" to win the whole fucking thing. I love it how the Sux fans are now on the Detroit bandwagon. The more I hear "Go Tigers!" from Red Sox fans the more I laugh. I remember 2004 like it was yesterday, and it's still a bitch. Although I was 10 at the time I skipped my Karate lession to watch game 7. Worst night as a baseball fan ever. And to me this trumps 2004. I jumped out of my seat for joy when Andino's hit fell inches in front of Crawford and when Longoria's homer creeped over the left field wall. And I'm soo happy Jonathan Papelbitch was one strike away from sealing the deal but epically failed. Two out double, two out double, and RBI hit. Amazing. You know, this was his first real blown save. His other two came when he had to get out of Bard's jam in the 8th inning earlier in the year. Greatest day in regular season baseball histroy? Greatest day in regular season baseball history.
no, this was sweet but 2004 will always be the worst for yankee fans. ALWAYS.
A choke from being up 3-0 in a 7 game series has never been done before 2004 in any major American sport. The Mets and Angels had epic collapses similar to the Sox. It's heartbreaking yes but 2004 is on another level.
It's happened in hockey before 2004. So the 2004 ALCS isn't the first in American Pro Sports.
Jim Caple tweeted this:
Cap off to Showalter's last place Orioles. Went 13-7 against Yanks, Sox, Rays, Angels &Tigers since Sept. 7. O's deserve playoff share
Sorry to repeat myself, but do you think if Tampa was out of it and the game had no implications on any other team, Girardi would have pulled Proctor for a non-pitcher after two innings/45 pitches or so, instead of hanging him to out to dry and risk even more damage to his arm?
If so, the argument can easily be made that Girardi went above and beyond what was necessary to protect the integrity of the game. You can't blame him for dicking around with relievers or pulling starters with a 7-0 lead and Game 1 on Friday. True Sox fans will admit the Yankees are 100% blameless for their epic collapse.
I mean, except for NY kicking ass and clinching the division with a week to go, of course.
Red sox fans should be thinking that it should have never come down to this point.
Sox fans blame the Yankees for everything negative that happens in the world. Your Proctor point makes perfect sense to me, but don't expect them to follow your logic.
Scott Proctor just did exactly what he was brought here to do, eat innings. There was no other pitcher going out there, except maybe Noesi. All Proctor did tonight was earn his paycheck. He pitched much better than anyone, including me, would have guessed. Plus, I'm pretty sure that was his last inning, either way.
Soriano, Robertson, and Mariano were never going to pitch in this game. Period.
Girardi and Cashman used this game to reward the youngsters and get some work in for Hughes and Burnett. They also used this game to get the regulars some real reps vs. an ace, prior to Friday. All of the 7-0 lead occurred under those circumstances.
The B team, led by Logan, Ayala and Wade were jusr getting in work prior to Friday. There was no intention of pretending to win this game. It was like a spring training game.
While I don't feel great about headed into the postseason with a 4 game losing streak, you could clearly see that the Yankees had accomplished all they wanted to in this game, and didn't really care about the score.
I think we're lined up and rested up for Friday. Mission accomplished.
I was a little annoyed because that is a shitty way to head into the playoffs, but if this was a real game, Ayala would never have had the chance to blow it because Robertson or Soriano would have been in, and Mo would have been in in the 9th. Plus, they killed one of the best pitchers in the American League while a bunch of September call-ups held a playoff team scoreless for 7 innings.
Normally I wouldn't want the Yankees to go into the postseason on a four-game losing streak, but it really doesn't matter. It won't be a thought in my mind come Friday, nor will it be a thought in the Yankees' collective mind either.
The Yankees haven't tried to win a single game with 100% effort since they secured a spot in the postseason. Not only were they not movitvated to win, they actually were motivated NOT to win. The Yankee players, too, enjoyed the collapse of their rival, even if they never admit it.
Papelbom said in the locker room, the historic collapse will only make them stronger in the future.
Yeah, keep telling yourself that, Paps.
Let's be honest here..if Girardi had wanted to win this game… RObertson and Mo would have been on the mound for the 8th and 9th.
Fun facts:
The Red Sox haven't won a single playoff game since 2008. The Yankees have won 16 playoff games and a World Series since Boston's last playoff win.
The Red Sox haven't won a playoff series since the 2008 ALDS against the Angels
The Red Sox haven't made the playoffs since 2009.
The Red Sox have gone 0-3 in 3 playoff games, and missed the playoffs twice since the "curse of MT" (remember that?) started.
Ha, I do remember that. Wasn't that John Henry posting that on his Twitter when the Yankees started 0-8 against Boston in 2009?
Right after they lost that 8th game: http://twitter.com/#!/John_W_H.....2126014978
Funny thing is John Henry hasn't Tweeted since September 5th, which is a couple of days after this choke started.
I'm in my 40′s, and I've seen a lot of amazing and incredible baseball over the years, some involving the Yankees, some not. Tonight in it's own flavor was as good as it comes.
I went to see MoneyBall, because I had committed to see the movie on this specific night after the Yankees had locked up their postseason last week. I really wanted to watch tonight unfold, but decided it really didn't matter. The games would still be ongoing once the movie was over. I was right.
I really enjoyed MoneyBall, and then went off to a bar with my date and to meet some friends and then had the joy of sitting in front of a number of big-screen TVs, three directly in front of me that were showing the Yankee game, the Red Sox game, and the Atlanta game.
The next two hours were simply put, baseball nirvana. As good as it comes.
I gotta add that as a Yankee fan living in New England it is great spending the games online with all the great Yankee fans on this site.
I don't post a lot since I work nights but I enjoy all the articles and comments. It's been a great year, 11 more wins to get!
Major round of applause for Brian Cashman. Yes, the Red Sox had injuries, but every team has injuries. Injuries didn't kill them, lack of depth did.
The Yankees played without A-Rod for half the season, lost who was supposed to be their number 2 starter for half a season, lost Colon and Garcia for weeks, but they never broke a sweat.
Plus Jeter missed a month, Soriano missed time and Feliciano didn't throw one pitch for them.
Neither did Marte, Joba had Tommy John, the list goes on and on. Anyone who blames injuries for the Red Sox failures shouldn't be allowed to watch baseball.
They were hit by injuries, but if Lester and Beckett do their job, and their offense does its job, they win easily.
They collapsed. Period.
Look at the freaking Cardinals. That team was borderline devastated at times. Yes, yes, NL Central vs. AL East, but they still made it – after being behind the team they beat out by 10.5 games in late August.
Cashman gave the Yankees depth. Garcia and Colon (and Nova) all could have collapsed at the start, and he would have had a fleet of young arms to call on. Same thing could have happened late in the season. He ensured the Yankees had reinforcements if something bad happened. Boy Genius Theo can learn a thing or two from Cash, and I'm sure he will. Cash has learned himself and it's clear he understands the importance of depth. It doesn't grab the headlines, but it helps teams win championships.
15 years from now, when Ken Burns files his next volume on baseball history, tonight will be the centerpiece.
They gota fire tito right? I mean someone has to be held accountable. Cant fire the team. Coaches will have to do. I'm pretty damn sure if they yankees collapsed in a similar fashion as the Sox, he would be fired before he left the ball park.
Bah watching sports center highlights of todays games…obviously i was reffering to Girardi.
I hope the RS make a bunch of Rash decisions like this. I personally think firing Francona would be a terrible move for them, so I hope they do it!
Blow it up RS!
thought this was pretty cool: http://espn.go.com/mlb/story/_.....sday-games
This goes right up there with Denny Galehouse, Bucky Dent, Mookie Wilson, and Aaron Boone (who visited the Sox dugout before the game – how's that for an omen?)
And to think, I was worried the end of the season was going to be boring!
Gotta say though, I'm a bit disappointed that yet again, despite the stars aligning to give us two wild card ties on the final day, yet another year without a game 163 :/ Oh well, I shouldn't be greedy, one epic historic night of baseball is enough
One more item to add in this night.
I've been a Yankee fan since Billy Martin. I was never a huge fan of Martin as a kid, although I was always the first to admit that more than any other Yankee manager I've watched, he had the ability to win games. I do believe Billy Martin actually added wins to the team, and there are very few managers I would say that about. One of the other managers I would say that about is Buck Showalter. As bad as the Orioles are, I do believe he helped them win another four or five, maybe even six games more than they would have if they had another manager. There are very few managers I can say that about. Martin is one of them. Showalter is another.
Tonight would not have happened if not for Buck Showalter. I can't prove it. I'm a sabermetic person going back to my first Bill James Abstract in the the early 80s, so I generally dismiss statements such as the one I'm making here, yet I'm sure of what I'm saying. Showalter makes a difference more than most other managers. In my more than 35-years of being a Yankee fan, Showalter is my favorite manager because he never ever gives up. That seems to annoy some people here when the Yankees play the Orioles, yet it's the reason I like Showalter.
Thanks, Buck.
Agreed. He did it last year too. I was at a game at Camden in early Sept. Andy's comeback/return game. The O's beat Mariano and played like the 7th game of the WS when they were, as usual, 30 games out.
Buck predicted the Rays would get in!
Has to be posted again
To be fair, if winning that game had mattered to the Yankees, the Rays in all likelihood would not have come back against Robertson and Rivera. So Shaughnessy was right…in the alternate universe where the Yankees do everything they can to help the Red Sox.
It's nights like tonight that make me wish the Rays played in the NL East instead of the AL East, because I'd love to root for them all the time. They're such an enjoyable team to watch, and they're so good. They're like the Rockies plus pitching (…).
Thanks Yankees for clinching everything last week so I could root for the Rays to crush the Red Sox dreams without guilt.
goodbye Roid Sox, nobody will miss you
Luis Ayala, man of the match
btw: strange feeling to root AGAINST the Yankees these last days.
Maybe the most exciting hour in baseball I've ever seen?
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH I FUCKING HATE THE RED SOX!!!!!!!!!! If the Yanks go all the way this will be the perfect season.
It will still take about 84 years of this stuff to make up for 2004, but its a great start.
This and the Giants beating the Patriots to ruin their "perfect" season.
Since this series was meaningless. I hate to admit it, I was rooting for the Rays and Orioles.
check this out!!!
Sox article about from January comparing them to the 1927 Yankees.
A must read…..
So if we lose to the Tigers-is the "EPIC COLLAPSE" the salve that soothes all wounds?
Nope. Collapse over. Soak it in for a day. Go beat the Tigers.
No, rooting for the Yankees >>>>>>>>> rooting against the Sox. If the Yanks lose to the Tigers, it'll suck just as much as it usually would.
After all this madness I'm wondering what Carl Crawford is thinking. Leaving the Rays for the big money in Boston only to end up on the bad end of baseball history.
He's probably thinking where he wants to take his new yacht
It might have been a smaller yacht but it would be leaving from the Florida coast instead of sinking in the Boston harbor
Way to redeem yourself.
Haha. LOL Eric Ortiz
FYI this is not the article from last January that keeps getting posted. This is today's column.
Wow this guy has no idea.
How does this: "Their 2-10 start to the season"
Be a warning sign to this: "Losing 20 of 27 games in September."
When in-between they did this: "They went 81-42″
Well I guess you can expect it that from a guy who wrote this:
"In January, I predicted that the 2011 Red Sox could be the next 1927 Yankees."
Well, at least the guy came right up and referenced that godawful piece and admitted how wrong he was (even if he did minimize things a bit). Better than ESPN, where the so-called "experts" ALL predicted the Sox to win the division…and have now reduced the choke to a footnote while celebrating the Rays (while affording the Braves no such consideration).
Yeah, as ridiculous as that article was, at least he's owning up to it. Plenty of prognosticators conveniently forget their idiotic predictions once they're wrong.
Still though. If that article wasn't the epitome of hyperbole, I don't know what is.
That article should have concluded with, "This obviously was not my calling. I pledge to do the right thing and never write another article again."
The Sox blew their chances historically, but it feels weird that we played so badly for three games. Nobody hit- nobody but Cano. A-Rod looks lost. Another rook/irregular is spaced. Logan can't get anyone out, and last night he managed to injure two guys, one ours on one pitch. I don't feel real good right now.
Why so serious?
It was basically a ST game. If ARod can start hitting like he did in ST it would be great.
Can't blame Boone for the freakish Montero injury. His right hand should have been back behind his body.
Golson awful in getting picked off 3rd on a grounder to third with no outs. Must get into a rundown there at least.
This is the first and only time I will criticize Golson and Montero In the same comment!
Dan Johnson? really? 1 HR and batting .108? with 2 strikes? wow
I would die if I was a red Sox fan right now. The Curse of the Andino!
Oh and Carl Crawful choked on that line drive just like he choked on a shallow flyball in YS last week.
Yeah I was really annoyed by the Golson out. The guy is fast but this isn't the first time I have seen poor baserunning instincts from him.
Carl Crawford didn't choke =) He was clutch for his team. Don't be fooled by who is paying him for who he plays for =)
I wonder if the Os had been playing the Rays and the Yanks had been playing the Red Sawks would SoRoMo have pitched?
Nope. So/Ro/Mo weren't seeing the field tonight, didn't matter who was on the other side.
As a Yankee FAN a sports FAN we have to be appalled at GIRARDI' total lack of sportsmanship — in a game of critical importance to two competitors (and yeah I do Hate the SAWX) he all but threw this game 7th inning on. The A offense did its job providing what should have been a fair and insurmountable lead off Price no less, getting the regulars out to play a Triple A team OK – but then the onus was on pitching properly – quick hooks for guys issuing walks like free donuts, and hitting guys exhibiting no control.
At one point I thought HE has CREATED a WS atmosphere here GREAT for the guys to experience it BUT his obligation was to WIN the game — and he AGAIN FAILED TO MANAGE
I would fire him for ineptness and total lack of sportsmanship.
If we face the Rays in the ALCS and they play with the kind of LAST STRIKE SURVIVAL CONFIDENCE that has carried other teams we will pay the ultimate price
No. To all of this. No.
I don't know how strongly I can say no to this opinion. It's absolutely ridiculous.
Plus, who were the two relievers that blew the game? Logan & Ayala, who had been on our roster all year. And the HR was given up by Wade, another mainstay. Not pitchers who we'd normally have in the 8th and 9th, but not scrubs.
Girardi's job was to get our team in a position to be healthy and rested on Friday. That's it. Nothing further than that. This game didn't matter, whatsoever, to one of the teams on the field last night.
What did you want him to do? Burn So/Ro/Mo? Take Proctor out? Go throw the actual pitches? Good Lord. Girardi can't do anything right in some people's eyes.
Also: Last Strike Survival Confidence is not a thing. If it were, then the O's apparently have it, and it didn't help them win more than 69 games this year, so it can't be very meaningful.
Gotta give some credit to the Rays and O's. They still have to execute. Dan Johnson could have hit a bullet line drive right at a fielder to end the game. It was just an amazing night and although losing always hurts, last night was as little a hurt as possible.
Yeah Buck and the O's really played out the end of the season hard. I'll be watching how they do next year, I kinda feel they may not be cellar dwellers for too much longer. Robert Andino is probably going down among Boone and Dent in boston soon.
Sure, all the credit in the world to those guys. Last night was the best night of regular season baseball I can ever remember. I'm just saying it's ridiculous to blame Girardi, of all people, for losing a game that was meaningless to the Yanks.
This. So much of this.
The game wasn't important. Rest was important. Girardi made it clear he wasn't using his big gun relievers/closer in this game.
Ohhhhhh, people.
No issues here. Are you going to blame the Phillies too who did some dance of pitchers early on? That didn't start Victorino and took Howard out? Are we supposed to get 2 or 3 pitchers up because we expect Boone to suck? And then expect Ayala to suck? You can 'blame' him for leaving Ayala in I guess and not using his top 3 relievers, even though he already laid out his plan with them on Tuesday. You can't blame him for Proctor as getting all the kids in burned out just about every pitcher the Yankees had. Other than a starter the only person who might have pitched that hadn't was Noesi. It was Proctor's game at that point. I had no issues with it as a Yankees and sports FAN (caps are AWESOME).
Girardi's obligation is to rest his regulars and I think he did a great job last night. It was a meaningless game to the Yankees. Your comments are clueless on multiple levels.
also if the Yankee's lose to the Rays it will have absolutely nothing to do with what happened last night.
This is so painfully dumb. The Yankees already met all of their obligations for the regular season, their only responsibility yesterday was to keep the guys making the postseason roster well rested and healthy.
"This may have been the worse situation I've ever been involved in" – Big Papi….You did take steroids…and get caught
Amidst all the hysteria over the result, I missed the early part of the game. How did Betances look? I know he only pitched 2 innings.
Sorta wild, missed his spots a lot I felt, but a lot of the Rays aren't all that patient and he only gave up 1 walk. Fastball was good but not great, and he didn't generate many swings and misses from what I remember. I would say overall he didn't look that great but he pitched a decent amount this year, and may still have nerves/rust.
You and nervous with some flashes of his talent, at least IMO.
young, not you
too excited to type properly.
Does the redsox big three still get MVP votes since the lost..why does espn have mo's record save like 6 on the top ten momentes in 2011
He also had a very interesting off speed pitch that he struck out two guys on (I think). I think the announcers called it a slider but it looked like a wacky change, almost El Duque-esque in the motion and movement across the plate.
I seriously just got chills typing the name El Duque. And there they go again. Duque was one of the best Yankee performers (and I use that word specifically) in the past 15 years. If Betances can even come close to Duque, that would be amazing and delightful and a huge achievement.
I find it hard to feel bad for a Major League pitcher but, man, Proctor has it kind of rough. I really hope he gets one more chance with another team at some point, he could probably still cut it as a 12th man on a poor staff. He was bringing it at 95 last night which seemed bizarre to me

The City of Alcoa Electric Department announced today that Blount County resident, Mr. Warren Harris, is the first Alcoa utility customer to become a Green Power Switch (GPS) Generation Partner. The TVA GPS program provides support and incentives for the installation of solar and wind generating facilities making more green power available for GPS subscribers. It creates a market for small-scale green power generation by homeowners and small businesses. In June of this year, Green Earth Services of Knoxville, along with J. Baker Electric, installed 18 solar panels to the roof of Warren's home. These 18 panels will make up the 3.74 kW system. When asked why he decided to have solar panels installed, he replied, "I'm interested in trying to find other sources of energy besides what we currently use and everything eventually lives out its life. I wanted to do what I could to help the environment by using an alternative energy source." This decision was long thought out since his investment is close to $30,000.00.
Mr. Harris can expect that his solar installation will produce about 4,488 kilowatt hours during a year of use. Extremely hot weather like Blount Countians have been experiencing interferes with maximum solar production. Solar panels produce better in spring, fall and winter when the temperatures are cooler.
TVA will purchase 100 percent of the green power that Harris produces at a rate of 15 cents per kilowatt-hour. Residents like Mr. Harris may also receive an addition $500 incentive to help with start up costs.
For more information on Green Power Switch Generation Partners program visit the website at www.tva.gov or contact Ed Zubco with Green Earth Services at 865-769-7337, or call Alcoa Electric Dept 865-380-4700.

Years of Citing Articles
Data sets with multiple, heterogeneous feature spaces occur frequently. We present an abstract framework for integrating multiple feature spaces in the k-means clustering algorithm. Our main ideas are (i) to represent each data object as a tuple of multiple feature vectors, (ii) to assign a suitable (and possibly different) distortion measure to each feature space, (iii) to combine distortions on different feature spaces, in a convex fashion, by assigning (possibly) different relative weights to each, (iv) for a fixed weighting, to cluster using the proposed convex k-means algorithm, and (v) to determine the optimal feature weighting to be the one that yields the clustering that simultaneously minimizes the average within-cluster dispersion and maximizes the average between-cluster dispersion along all the feature spaces. Using precision/recall evaluations and known ground truth classifications, we empirically demonstrate the effectiveness of feature weighting in clustering on several different application domains.

ABILENE, Texas (AP) A former guard at a federal prison in West Texas has been charged with accepting money to smuggle a cellphone to an inmate.
An indictment unsealed Thursday in Abilene charges Big Spring police Officer Matthew Castaneda with bribery of public officials.
Prosecutors say the allegations involve the 23-year-old officer's previous employment as a guard with Federal Correctional Institution Big Spring. Authorities say Castaneda was arrested Wednesday, pleaded not guilty Thursday and was released on his own recognizance.
If convicted, Castaneda faces up to 15 years in prison. Details on the inmate in the bribery investigation were not released.

Quote:I am of the opinion that cell phone or tablet based astronomy is not for me. I prefer the full blown Windows apps that I run on my graphics workstation notebook PC and my desktop graphics workstation PC. PhotoShop screams on them, and so does TheSkyX, which is the astronomy app that many professional telescope operators use. Besides, the small cell phone screens are too difficult for my 56 year old eyes.
Quote:For me the same. I used to have Starrynight in 2003 but then I switched to the free and better Stellarium which I still run on my Mac. I have Skysafari Basic on my Mac as well but doesn't offer much compared to Stellarium.But on my Android phoblet (Note 2) I have Skysafari Pro and use it as a pocket sky atlas during observing. Great tool !And back to 2011 when I had an iPad for a while I used the iOS version as well.

To the Editor:
Cumberland Times-News
As a recently retired correctional officer in Western Maryland I know that my fellow officers at the maximum security North Branch and Western Correctional Institutions perform a dangerous and necessary job.
Around the clock, every day of the year correctional officers put our lives on the line to protect our neighbors from the most violent, convicted offenders.
Seven correctional officers have been assaulted and five more injured responding to inmate on officer assaults in an unprecedented spike in violence at NBCI over the past few weeks.
While assaults by inmates on officers are not unheard of they are typically infrequent. Seven assaults in a roughly two week period is an unprecedented spike.
The most recent attacks occurred late on July 22. Correctional officers report that supervisors told them at roll call meetings, that intelligence officers had intercepted phone calls from an inmate which tipped them off that a credible threat that an assault on an officer was going to occur.
Officers were told to "Watch your backs." But correctional officers watch our backs and the backs of our fellow officers every day.
The Department of Public Safety and Correctional Services failed to put the facility on lock down to prevent the assaults that we all knew were coming.
Correctional officers must be able to have confidence that their leaders have their backs. The recent spike in violence and the failure of supervisors to take any preventative action shakes the confidence of hard working correctional officers in management.
Correctional officers represented by AFSCME Maryland, Council 3 recently met with Department of Public Safety and Correctional Services Secretary Gary Maynard to find out how the department intends to change operations to proactively disrupt these attacks in the future to improve safety for Maryland's hard working correctional officers.
Officers look forward to working with the department to develop pro-active ways to disrupt the ability of inmates to assault one another and officers. But our patience and our confidence is not limitless.
Ron Lohr
Retired correctional officer, WCI

Plastic Surgery Abroad Is an Operation, Not a Vacation
Broad incentives but big pitfalls in traveling for cosmetic care.
Americans unhappy with what they see in the mirror are looking past borders—and oceans—to save money on face-lifts, breast augmentations, and other elective procedures not covered by insurance. The Internet is littered with companies offering cosmetic surgery vacation deals to exotic locales like Costa Rica, the Philippines, Mexico, and Brazil. But experts caution that so-called cosmetic surgery tourism can wind up costing patients more—both in health and money—than they expect.
Many overseas surgery practices use specialized travel agencies to package their cosmetic procedures with vacations. A typical offer includes your pick of operations—say, liposuction and a tummy tuck, for as little as half the U.S. cost—plus tour itineraries, tony resort stays, and pampering at posh spas during recovery.
But shopping around for the lowest fee or the best destination is not the way to choose a cosmetic surgeon. The International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery has vetted and certified about 1,500 surgeons in 73 countries who meet U.S. standards; isaps.org has a surgeon-finder tool. Surgeons who aren't on that list may be good, but their credentials, training, and prior disciplinary record can be hard to verify, says John Canady, incoming president of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons.
A long list of unknowns didn't stop Felicia Pappas, a Woodbridge, Va., medical assistant, from traveling to Bolivia in February for breast augmentation, liposuction, and a tummy tuck. She found her surgeon through a friend, never researched the doctor's qualifications, and had no communication with her until the day of the first surgery.
The operations went horribly wrong. An infection killed nipple tissue, and she required a blood transfusion. Back home, Pappas, 42, had trouble finding a doctor to perform corrective surgery and now regularly needs to have fluid removed by needle from her stomach.
Partly for legal reasons, U.S. doctors may be reluctant to correct complications incurred abroad, says isaps President Foad Nahai. Revision surgery for botched cases can end up costing far more than the original procedure. And U.S. malpractice laws don't apply in other countries. To hedge against unforeseen problems, Nahai says, "make sure there are doctors and facilities nearby that are equipped to manage any unexpected complications."
If you've done your homework and are confident you've found a skilled surgeon, treat the trip for what it is—surgery, not a holiday. While relaxing poolside with a piña colada may sound conducive to recovery, vacation activities like swimming, sunbathing, or drinking can slow down the healing process and contribute to infection or bleeding. Guidelines from the American Society of Plastic Surgeons suggest that patients wait up to 10 days, depending on the procedure, before flying. Even then, the post-op process can last weeks. "It's in the patient's best interest to have the same doctor who performed that surgery evaluate the patient's progress," says Canady. "That's simply not feasible when done abroad."
Still recuperating, Pappas blames her surgeon—and herself: "I should have been more educated, and I put too much faith in a doctor I didn't know enough about."

PS3 line 32hours to go
So I'm updating this as I'm sitting in line for a PS3 at circuit city in Burbank, currently its really cold. Luckily my friend brought a generator for my laptop. I'll update this if there's anything interesting. Currently 25 in line out of 35, I hope I'm able to get one.
1:02am update: Some people are so drunk they're throwing up around me, nasty.
2:48am update: picked up a surge protector for generator to allow others to use it, charging them 2 bucks a night to use it to cover gas, all is quiet…quite boring
3:05am update: smells like ass, someone is throwing up again.
3:32am update: its getting colder, wind is picking up, I need thicker jacket and pants.
5:04am update: everyone's asleep cept a few, I can't feel my legs >_>;
7:00am update: they only had 6 units so a big waste of time. A big FUCK YOU to Circuit City for not letting us know.

Phoenix staff reports
TAHLEQUAH — Kate Bellamy sank two free throws with 3.5 seconds to play, giving Northeastern State a 49-48 upset win over No. 23 Fort Hays State on Saturday.
The RiverHawks (8-8, 5-4 MIAA) earned a league victory against a Tiger squad that entered the contest as the nation's leader in scoring average at 27.9 points per game. FHSU (12-3, 6-3 MIAA) was also on a four-game win streak, defeating the four opponents by a 30.0 point-per-game average.
The 48 points by the Tigers was the lowest total of the season by 16 points (previous season low was 64). FHSU also shot just 31.5 percent (17-54) from the field, second-worst of the season, and 50 percent (9-for-18) from the free-throw line, worst of the season. The team was 5 of 23 (21.7 percent) from downtown.
Kate Lehman paced the visitors with a game-high 19 points, but she only had seven rebounds. The seven boards marked the first time since the season opener the nation's third-best rebounder did not reach double digits.
"I thought our kids were attentive to their post game, not only in defending (Lehman), but in getting good help and rotation," NSU coach Randy Gipson said. "We rebounded well for the most part. We knew points would be hard to come by.
NSU used a 6-0 spurt late in the first half to take a 25-22 lead into halftime. The Tigers found themselves behind at intermission for just the second time this season.The lead reached 10 on an 11-2 run for a 43-33 lead with 8:17 to play.
Fort Hays chipped away though, and a fast-break layup by Taylor Chandler with 21 seconds to play gave the road team a 48-47 advantage.
Ft. Hays 79, NSU 65
NSU(11-5, 6-3) lost for the third time in four outings after a 5-0 start in league play.
Senior guard Bryton Hobbs led all scorers with 28 points. He was only 8-for-20 from the field, but he hit three 3-pointers and made 9 of 10 from the free-throw line. He also added eight assists and four rebounds in 40 minutes. The only other member of the team to reach double figures was junior forward Landon DeMasters, who finished with 10 points.
"I'm not sure what the answer is. Big, physical teams really bother us. Until we get our personnel healed up a little bit, I think they will continue to bother us. We have to do a better job," NSU coach Larry Gipson said.
Craig Nicholson led FHSU (14-3, 6-3 MIAA) with 27 points, seven rebounds, seven assists and four steals. Carson Konrade poured in 16 points and Dwayne Brunson posted 13 points and 12 rebounds.
Both NSU squads play Emporia State on Wednesday.

Welcome to Emerald Art Services, LLC
Because Personal Property Appraisers are not licensed by the state, it is important that you carefully screen the appraiser that will work for you. A professional appraiser is educated in methodology as well as experienced in the connoisseurship of art, antiques and the personal property they are appraising. This equates to less time on-site, more efficient & accurate research, a quicker completion time and less cost to you! Additionally, professional appraisers are accredited or certified by an appraisal association that regularly tests their members and holds them to a strict code of ethics and standards of conduct. Adherence to these standards provides for a defensible report that, if challenged, will "hold up" to the strictest challenges.
