WBC Five Cuts: Competing interests completely blow up on Team USA |
Story Highlights
The game was over when Jake Peavy was permitted to absorb such a poundingThe players on the field had no idea they faced the possibility of a walkoff lossTeam USA team has been hurt by a lousy schedule, with way too many off days |
1. The World Baseball Classic wants acceptance as a premier, competitive event. But the major league players also need time to get ready for Opening Day. Padres pitcher Jake Peavy of Team USA stood out Saturday night as an example of what can go wrong when those become competing interests. Puerto Rico hammered Peavy for six runs in two innings, and though Puerto Rico won by way of the mercy rule, 11-1, the game really was over when Peavy was permitted to absorb such a pounding. Peavy never could get the ball down in the strike zone. Eight of the first 14 batters against him reached base. It was downright ugly. A Cuban starting pitcher, for instance, would have been yanked in the first inning with that kind of stuff. And yet U.S. manager Davey Johnson didn't bother even to get a relief pitcher up until the score was 5-0. Why? Johnson, who arrived slightly late to the game to attend a wedding, provided a puzzling answer. Johnson was asked if he considered pulling Peavy even one batter earlier, because Peavy's last batter put him over the 50-pitch threshold that by rule requires him to sit out four days -- essentially knocking him out of Round 2 entirely (which may not be such an awful consequence). Johnson also had a bullpen stocked to the gills with one-inning pitchers; the roster has nobody who could give him any length. Here's how Johnson responded: "Yeah, we had a lot of one-inning pitchers out there. Just basically let him get a little more work. Unfortunately, it wasn't really great work, but he still needed the work. Like I said, it's double elimination. It wasn't a thing where it was ... hook him in the second inning. Just let him get his work in." Just let him get his work in? Ugh. The United States is trying to serve two masters: sell meaningful competition but also make sure millionaire players get their work in. It was one of those awkward nights when the competing interests blew up on the Americans. 2. Here's something else I don't get: the U.S. players on the field had no idea they faced the possibility of a walkoff loss with two outs in the seventh inning. Puerto Rico led, 9-1, when Mike Aviles batted with runners on second and third and two outs. Aviles blooped a single into right field to send both runners home. Catcher Brian McCann only knew the game was over because he saw the Puerto Rico team pouring out of the dugout. Second baseman Mark DeRosa and right fielder Adam Dunn had no idea what was happening. Dunn, in fact, had fielded the ball, lobbed it back to the infield and was walking back to his position. Maybe it is a moot point. The game was a lost cause, anyway. Maybe you bring the outfield in to try to cut down the winning run. Maybe Dunn plays the ball more aggressively. Maybe Johnson walks Aviles to set up a better matchup with force plays in order. But is it too much to ask to expect the players to actually know the rules of the tournament? It was eerily reminiscient of the 2006 WBC when the players had no idea of the tie-breaker rules. "When you put this uniform on," DeRosa said, "you don't ever expect that you could be a part of [the mercy rule]. But being down 6-0 against a big league pitching staff, that's pretty stiff." Said Dunn, "The word that comes to mind is embarrassing. It's inexcusable and uncalled for. It's embarrassing." 3. The United States no doubt has been hurt by a terrible schedule. They had four off days in the previous five days, way too much down time. The U.S. should have arranged for some kind of simulated game or even a B squad game against a major league team on Friday -- anything to provide the players with game-like conditions. The main fault, however, is that the tournament builds in far too many off days. 4. You've got to admire the Netherlands, especially because they haven't acquired the dull language of jockspeak common to pro athletes. Take Bryan Englehardt, the left fielder who had two hits and scored the lone Dutch run. Englehardt ripped a no-out double in the second inning that should have given the Netherlands second and third with no outs. Instead, third base coach Wim Martinus windmilled home the runner from first, Yurendell DeCaster, who was out by a kilometer. The Netherlands, a horrible offensive team that has scored five earned runs in five WBC games, ran itself out of the game with that gaffe. "Yeah, I was able to see that nobody was out," Englehardt said. "Maybe the coach needs to stop the guy on third base. After the game you think about it, and you say that it was one [turning] point." And here is Englehardt on what the difference between playing against the Dominican Republic and Venezuela: "Venezuela plays more like a team, and Dominican plays more individuals." 5. Venezuela manager Luis Sojo did something in mid-March no manager has done in almost two years: he used closer Frankie Rodriguez for a four-out save. The last time Rodriguez recorded a save requiring more than three outs? Way back on July 1, 2007. Rodriguez, who pitched some in Venezuela winter ball to prepare for the WBC, is throwing the ball extremely well, especially considering Opening Day is still three weeks away. | More MLB

How Loyola Makes Flu Shot Compliance Soar
"But at the end of the day my number one answer," Parada says, "is that it's not about you, the healthcare worker. It's not about the worker's right to get the vaccine or not get the vaccine. It's about the responsibility to make sure that I don't make my patients sick.
"And if I can reduce the odds that I'm going to catch a vaccine-preventable contagious disease, I should do that because it's going to reduce the odds that I will transmit the disease to all our vulnerable patients that we care for."
Parada also justified Loyola's policy of paying for and distributing the vaccine to all its workers for free.
"There's a fiduciary responsibility on the part of a healthcare organization to try to diminish the risk to healthcare workers. They're at higher risk of catching the flu because when anyone gets (a severe case of influenza), they're going to show up in the hospital. And this vaccine reduces the risk by more than half."
Parada says that while Loyola was one of just a few hospitals in the country to initiate the policy when it did, today many more organizations refuse employment to those who won't get their annual flu shot.
"It's still the minority of hospitals, but it's not nearly as rare as it was. Each year more hospitals adopt these policies."

Join Gathering of Eagles and Eagle Scout author Alvin Townley for this special Distinguished Speaker Series to share the powerful and important story of America's Vietnam POWs and the inspiration of those who served as Eagle Scouts and endured Hanoi's most infamous prison, Alcatraz. As these POWs valiantly waged war from their tomb-like cells, the defiance, resilience, and unity of what became known as the "Alcatraz Eleven" is a legend brilliantly told by Townley.
Defiant has a deep connection with the power and influence of Scouting. This is a story you don't want to miss!
"These heroic men and women remind us how courage, devotion, and faith can triumph even in the darkest of times. In DEFIANT, Alvin Townley masterfully tells the inspiration and unforgettable story of our Vietnam POWs and the Alcatraz Eleven." - President Jimmy Carter
"DEFIANT is a riveting tribute to the unyielding men who endured years of brutal captivity as POWs in Vietnam and the families they left behind. The men of the "Alcatraz Eleven" are true American heroes and their extraordinary stories will serve as an inspiration for generations to come." - Senator John McCain

Alvin's adventure truly began when he quit his job to travel the country and write his first book. His pursuit of inspiration has since taken him to the halls of Congress, deep into Africa, into Middle East combat zones, inside the infamous Hanoi Hilton, through Pacific coral reefs, to Rocky Mountain peaks, and onto five aircraft carriers in three oceans.
He has discussed values and leadership with leaders like Michael Bloomberg, J.W.Marriott, Jr., Ross Perot, Robert Gates, Hank Paulson, Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer, and Jim Lovell of Apollo 13. He has also met with Peace Corps volunteers, Olympians, Navy SEALs, entrepreneurs, adventurers, and military heroes of all generations.
Alvin graduated from Washington & Lee University, worked in the U.S. Congress, and helped manage global strategy in the executive office of an 85,000-person international consulting firm. He speaks on POWs, adventure, military principles, Scouting, faith, and leadership, and he has inspired thousands of people across North America.

1 Box Bowman Sterling...ok box
I went to the LCS to buy a box today to celebrate the start of the Playoffs. Busted a box of 2012 Bowman Sterling. Wasn't the best box and I didn't hit any PC players, but on the flip side I really like the look of this stuff this year. All is for sale or trade.

In poker, it is called a cooler. But, no risk, no reward. My Bowman Sterling yield nothing much; it was very average. However, Triple Threads is the same way. Decide to try 1 box of it and hit a Andrew Luck 1/1 autograph/jersey. So, it there is always risk involved. Seems like some cases are loaded and others are not.
Let me know if you are moving the Nick Toon.
Enjoy card collecting, trading and selling. If it is not fun, why do it. http://s821.photobucket.com/albums/zz138/tnj0426/ |

Hugo Slime "Intuition"
- Words: Glenn Jackson
At this point, we don't really know much about Hugo Slime. The London-based producer has a good amount of promising tunes to be heard on his SoundCloud, and as of recently, seems to have geared his craft towards the deeper ends of house. Today though, Hugo Slime makes his first official mark on the electronic music world with the release of his debut EP, Ampige Connection 2.0, for the fledgling Fairplay label. In an effort to garner some good faith with the XLR8R readership, he's passed along EP extra "Intuition," a song with slinky acid touches and a steady groove which goes down rather smoothly.

When you text green cap code to Sprite, they will text you back for some music download link
Then, you text OK, they will ask for email address ... Finally, text your email. Done |
Won 1 sprite, 1 2-pack of codes and 1 5-pack. 3 down, 2 to go.
I'm also getting the same odd message when I try to redeem codes from the initial text back. I'm sure it will be sorted in a week or so. At least they give you a choice this time instead of just the horrid wallpapers. RIP Coke Rewards - 2006-2009
Anyone else have the problem where the code they text you only has six characters instead of ten? I got 3 ten character codes and four six character codes. When I tried to download a song using six characters, it says it's not valid. Also, do the codes they text to you count as a "win", or only what they e-mail to you? Thanks.
http://dqs.co/abc123 [NOTE: this URL is just an example and will not work] where the abc123 part is unique. If you follow the link that was texted to you, it should give you a 10 digit download code. I do not believe these single download codes count as wins. I've entered six times and have received a single 10 digit download code all six times. Of the six entries, I've got two wins (2 pack of downloads and a Sprite) and four losses. |
My text back gives me this: I get "Sprite: Go 2 spriteurl.com/r8p7 w/code ABC123 for msc dwnld! So I wouldn't think it is part of the url. Who knows though. I have an e-mail in to e-prize to get an answer, probably next month.... |
Though of the 4 codes I've entered (the dqs.co ones), 2 have not offered me the music download option. only ringtones, wallpapers, or Complex magazine. And the PDF that I downloaded of Complex is corrupt. go figure. |

On Sept. 30, 1962, chaos broke out at the University of Mississippi — also known as Ole Miss — after an African-American man named James Meredith attempted to enroll.
That night, students and other protesters took to the streets, burning cars and throwing rocks at the federal marshals who were tasked with protecting Meredith. By the time the riot was over, observers said the grounds looked like a war zone, and the smell of tear gas hung in the air.

Spielberg And Zaillian To Tackle Montezuma And Cortez??
Deadline says Steven Spielberg may be ramping up to tackle an ambitious portrait of Montezuma and Cortes. The title of the project is currently MONTEZUMA (one of a number of spellings of his name, by the way), although Deadline indicates this might be changed to CORTES (which can also be spelled with a 'Z') to better reflect the viewpoint from which the real-world story is told. Given the gravity of this encounter, I wouldn't be surprised if an altogether more symbolic / dramatic title was ultimately decided upon.
I've heard that Javier Bardem has sparked to playing the Spanish explorer Hernando Cortez, and that the catalyst here is a nearly 50-year old script by Dalton Trumbo that is being rewritten by Steve Zaillian, who teamed with Spielberg on the Oscar-winning Schindler's List.
…says THIS piece. Zaillian recently scripted Ridley Scott's Christian Bale starring EXODUS - and wrote MONEYBALL, AMERICAN GANGSTER, and wrote/Exec Produced the David Fincher-helmed adaptation of THE GIRL WITH THE DRAGON TATOO.
At this point it's unclear whether MONTEZUMA/CORTEZ will focus on only a portion of the complex interaction between Cortez and the legendary Aztec ruler (i.e. a snippet of time, a-la Spielberg's recent LINCOLN) - or whether their tale will embrace the grand scale of the saga…a tragic circumstance which included no small amount of tension and maneuvering, ultimately leading to the downfall of the Aztec empire.
Although this may not necessarily be Spielberg's next project, it'll be very interesting to see how this one shakes out…

Rally falls short as shorthanded Pacers lose to Bucks
TJ Ford is out for seven to ten days with a groin injury, and Mike Dunleavy Jr is day-to-day with an eye contusion.
So I guess you could say that the Indiana Pacers were a little more shorthanded than usual when they faced the Bucks in Milwaukee.
Still, the Pacers rallied in the fourth quarter and were within striking distance with the clock winding down, but as usual, all their efforts culminated in another loss, 98-94.
Granger led the way with 29 points, Earl Watson had 15 and Troy Murphy had 14 and 13.
Not really much to say except that the Pacers are now well on their way to a top five lottery pick in the next NBA draft.

Leak Tracing
Posted 27 January 2013 - 10:52 PM
Lots of small problems, most of the flaws in the coach are purely cosmetic.
Until today.
We were showing friends the coach, I'd pulled it out into the sunshine and opened the slideouts. In one basement, there was a puddle of water. Strange, since I'd been in the basement several times in the last week and it had been dry.
Here is the painful part: the puddle and dripping wires right above it were directly under the toilet!
I mopped up the water (about 1/4 cup) with a paper towel, and recalled which plumbing items I'd just used. There'd been just one: the kitchen sink. I blotted up the leakage and gave it a sniff: fresh water. Then, I stretched out dry towels and ran some water through the sink. Sure enough, the towels were again wet. Tracing back along the supply and drain lines with a flashlight, I saw all was dry and snug. The dry lines check progressed along the kitchen cabinet, all the way to the sliding wall section at the end of the slide. Unfastening the moving panel with the help of a friend, we looked into the cluttered area where bundles of electrical lines, the sink drain, and hot & cold water lines all form a graceful loop that plays out when the slide is extended.
My buddy dabbed his fingers in dark wet dirt in the bottom of the bay and held them aloft: "there's your problem, it's wet." Indeed, the drain line was wet, probably leaking from where black PVC was joined with white reinforced rubber tubing. We congratulated ourselves and rejoined others in our party.
Later, after he and his wife had left, I shined a light on the area. The "dirt" was hundreds of black pellets, each 3/8" long and the diameter of a Cheerio. Oh, oh... I immediately called him, told him to wash his hands and not chew his nails.
What took up lodging in that crowded space between kitchen and bath must've been a huge rodent. No signs of hair, nesting debris or extensive damage, just guano.
Now, the million dollar question is, did this visitor gnaw into the drain line in search of water? Replacing the tube will be a bugger-bear, further exploration will determine what work is needed.
I've been all over this coach with a fine-toothed comb, not a speck of insect or rodent droppings anywhere else. This one caught me by surprise.
Take a look at your enclosed spaces, see if you have visitors. Places where they might gain access to water might merit extra attention.
I'll post a photo of what I discovered in our album HERE. In short, the "rodent" I suspected was working on the Beaver assembly line.
Before bundling the fresh water, drain, and multiple electrical conduits that comprise the "loop" adjacent to our kitchen slide, he/she oriented every hose clamp so that the sharp edges pushed against the underside of our kitchen sink drain hose.
A worm-drive clamp tail was the first to completely penetrate the doomed hose, this time-bomb took 12,000 miles of vibration to activate.
It is not hard (about thirty minutes' work) to expose the loop and cut away all the zip ties holding it together. If your rig is similarly booby-trapped, the time it takes to discover this time-release failure might be worthwhile.
Now, I am removing the damaged section of hose, splicing in a replacement. You betcher bippy my plumbing will be wrapped in some type of anti-chafe cushion material.

Posted 29 January 2013 - 11:16 AM
Looking at your pictures shows there has been a problem before due to the old clamps being moved and new ones installed. You did the right thing by replacing the hose and new clamps. If you haven't replaced the hose yet, you might consider using a longer piece of hose with two clamps on each end. Pipe insulation would be good also.
A lot of times a system works really well until you get to a RV Park that has really high water pressure. I, now from experience, always check the pressure before I hook up.
Good luck and stay dry.

Found July 10, 2013 on
Rick Rosenfeld via Eagle-TribuneHe's being groomed as a starter in the minors, but Brandon Workman has been called to The Show to fill a growing void in the Red Sox bullpen. Workman has hurled for both Portland (AA) and Pawtucket (AAA) this year and compiled an impressive 8-2 record with a 3.21 ERA. The last time he worked steadily out of the 'pen was during his college years at Texas, but he seems ready for the challenge. Said Workman, "The preparation and getting ready will be different. I'll have to adjust to it. This year I've been more consistent and able to locate all my pitches. I'm throwing strikes. As of now that's my plan to keep throwing what I throw." His mid-90s fastball, curve, cutter and change should be fun to watch for the rest of the year.

Three Cheers for Saint Don!!! [ Sat Dec 9 2006 4:28 PM ]
Dude, I'm so happy for you. It's so good to know that somewhere out there, someone I don't know, feels the need to criticize the rest of the populace of total strangers, while at the same time touting how perfectly you live your life. What do you want, a halo? Honestly, why did you even bother writing that stupid letter unless you jsut like the sound of your own morals. o And here's one for you Donny boy: Imagine how much MORE money we would have to spend on caring for the hungry, and the homeless, etc, if it WAS LEGAL to Grow MArijuana? Think of all the jobs there would be, cause you know folks would be lined up for miles to get a job on a pot farm! I mean come on, there's be waiting lists for that kind of work! People would actually pay to take one of those working holidays just to work a pot farm! And OH MY GOD THE TAX REVENUES WOULD BE INSANE!!!!! It would make sin taxes on tobacco and booze look like chump change for the arcade at Chuck E Cheese's! But hey, thanks for the tip about organic hot peppers and spinach, I been a little stopped up lately. Sincerely, your buddy, B. Voll |

Population Association of America Annual Meeting
15–17 April 2010
"Gender, absenteeism, and menstruation: Evidence from rural Malawi"
Monica J. Grant, Cynthia B. Lloyd, and
Barbara S. Mensch
The management of menstruation has recently emerged as a promising domain for international interventions with the ultimate goal of increasing and reinforcing girls' schooling. While menstruation may negatively impact girls' quality of life in particular cultural and physical environments, few studies have examined whether a relationship between menstruation and girls' schooling outcomes exists. We use cross-sectional data from rural Malawi to examine gender differences in school absenteeism. These data allow us to examine the factors that are associated with absenteeism and to evaluate the interaction of these factors with gender. In particular, we focus on the availability and quality of toilet facilities in relation to girls' attendance patterns. Given that toilet facilities and hygiene issues have been given substantial attention in the policy domain, our analysis will provide insights into current patterns of gender disadvantage and the potential impact of such interventions on girls' school outcomes.

Cattermole having medical on Wearside
SUNDERLAND are expected to confirm the signing of Lee Cattermole later today after agreeing a fee with Wigan Athletic. Cattermole, wanted by Steve Bruce from the moment he took over on Wearside, has been at the Academy of Light today for a medical. The England Under-21 international is thought to be costing Sunderland £8m with a further £2m in add-ons. Sunderland are hoping to secure the deal before Liverpool, who are also interested, make one last move for his services. But Cattermole's admiration for Bruce has been key to the deal and there is every chance that the tough midfielder will be handed the captaincy at the Stadium of Light. Bruce has already signed Darren Bent, Fraizer Campbell, Paulo Da Silva and Lorik Cana and there could be more before Saturday's Premier League opener with Bolton.

Well I am working from a database of about 1.4 Million .eu domains so this might take some time. :) But the preliminary work shows a very high incidence of coming soon and link swamp pages. It generally takes about 18-24 months for a gTLD to settle down and for the landgrab/squatter fest to work itself out of the system. There is also a lot of defensive registrations but the buzz is really wearing off .eu in Europe. Some hosters that I've spoken to confirm this and are now back to selling com/net/org/biz/info/cctld.

The epic life story of the Atlantic Ocean from the bestselling author, Simon Winchester For thousands of years the Atlantic Ocean was viewed by mariners with a mixture of awe, terror and amazement -- an impassable barrier to the unknown. In recent times, as we fly high above it without so much as bothering to look down, this vast sea has been reduced to the status of a mere passageway between continents -- 'the pond'. It is easy to forget that the Atlantic has been the setting for some of the most important exchanges, ideas and challenges in the history of civilisation -- a fulcrum around which the power and influence of the modern world has long been distributed. In this narrative tour de force, Simon Winchester dramatises the life story of the Atlantic, from its birth in the farther recesses of geological time to its eventual extinction millions of years in the future. At the heart of the book is the story of humankind's evolving attitude to and relationship with the ocean. For millennia it has shaped the lives and cultures of those who have lived along its shores and have navigated its waters.Travelling around its edges and across its huge expanse, Winchester reports from the places that encapsulate the Atlantic's most fascinating stories -- the age of exploration and the colonisation of the Americas; the rise and fall of the slave trade, and the flourishing of transatlantic commerce; extraordinary tales of sea-borne emigration; and the great naval battles that have left an indelible imprint on Atlantic history. The result is an utterly enthralling mixture of history, science and reportage from a master of narrative non-fiction, and an exhilarating account of a magnificent body of water.

odd fit I got my regular size and it just did not fit me right..the "lace" type material was much more loose fitting than the rest of the shirt and it just hung on my upper back. September 18, 2013
love the colors! i just picked this shirt up this wknd and i only gave 4 stars because i think it's a little too long! I also went down a size in this shirt.The material is a tight stretchy feeling so if you don't like tight shirts then i would stick with your normal size but the shirt is longer and also the description says lace yoke and the sides by the neck that look like lace is actually not lace but i still love this shirt and love the color and bling in this brand!

The linebacker position on the Giants has been unsettled for quite some time. For the older fans, who had the pleasure to watch players such as Sam Huff, Harry Carson, Brad Van Pelt, Lawrence Taylor, Carl Banks, and Jessie Armstead, it has been frustrating.
When the Giants shifted from a 3-4 defense to a 4-3 defense in the 1990s, the personnel emphasis naturally shifted from spending premium resources on linebackers to defensive linemen. And that trend has continued under General Manager Jerry Reese.
Since Reese became general manager of the Giants in 2007, in seven drafts, the Giants have drafted seven linebackers, including players in the second, fourth, fifth, and sixth rounds. Only two remain on the roster – sixth-rounders Adrian Tracy and Jacquian Williams. Tracy, a defensive end in college, was drafted as a linebacker and has since been moved back to defensive end. Gone by the wayside are Bryan Kehl, Jonathan Goff, Clint Sintim, Phillip Dillard, and Greg Jones.
In free agency under Reese, the Giants have signed Kawika Mitchell, Danny Clark, Michael Boley, Keith Bulluck, Dan Connor, Aaron Curry, and Kyle Bosworth. The latter three were signed this offseason.
The Giants also traded away their fifth round pick in the 2012 NFL Draft for Keith Rivers.
It's obviously too early to comment on Connor, Curry, and Bosworth, but of all of the rest, since 2007, only Boley became an established, multi-year starter for the Giants. (After four seasons as a starter, Boley was released this offseason). If we're being honest, to date, Reese's track record in addressing the linebacking position has not been good.
With Boley and free agent departure Chase Blackburn no longer on the roster, and Mathias Kiwanuka moving back to defensive end, the Giants will have three new starters at linebacker in 2013. That's quite a turnover. And it is conceivable that the three new starters in 2013 will be castoffs Rivers, Connor, and Curry. In fact, if you could turn back the clock and tell a Giants fan in April 2008 that the Rivers, Connor, and Curry would be starting for Big Blue in few years, the response would have been, "How the hell did Reese pull that off?" We'll have to see if they can turn their careers around and regain former collegiate glory.
The Giants currently have nine linebackers on the roster. They will probably keep seven on the 53-man roster, especially since linebackers usually make good special teams players. But it is possible that they could keep as few as six.
"(Our linebackers) actually had a good spring," said Head Coach Tom Coughlin at the end of mini-camp. "And the good thing about them, they are very unselfish. They work hard; they study hard. If I called for a one hour meeting, those guys were probably going to meet for an hour and a half to two. It is just the way that group is. They have been good. So we'll see. I have seen some growth and I have seen a lot of good things happen out here. They are going to have to. It's going to have to happen."
Let's look at each of these nine players:

10.7: Unanticipated but welcome behavior in Photostream
If all Photostream photos on my iPhone have been automatically imported into my iPhoto library on my laptop, when I connect my iPhone via USB to transfer the camera roll, it recognizes that these photos have been imported and asks if I want to delete them from the phone. Don't see what the problem is but maybe I'm missing something.
10.7: Unanticipated but welcome behavior in Photostream
If that's how it behaves, then that's awesome. Will definitely see if I can get it to work like that when I get home -- thanks for the tip!
10.7: Unanticipated but welcome behavior in Photostream
Hmm. When I connect my phone to iPhoto, it shows the photos and videos on it, split into two sections -- already imported, and not imported. But it doesn't offer to delete anything. How did you get it to do that?
10.7: Unanticipated but welcome behavior in Photostream
I�ve never seen this, but I wonder if the key is �all Photostream photos�. I have 3 or 4 that have been there since before iOS 5 was released that I don�t care to import to iPhoto.
