If you're fortunate enough to live in a town that's actually allowing residents to trick-or-treat tonight, your kids will likely take part in some sort of candy trading.
Two of my dudes can't eat half of what they get since they're allergic to peanuts and tree nuts (and because manufacturers are too paranoid to claim that their nut-free food is actually nut-free.) So a serious amount of trading will occur in our neighborhood in the coming hours.
This handy video will help candy traders get the most for their trades.

The 4-5 Boston Cannons returned to Harvard stadium Saturday night to take on the 4-5 Charlotte Hounds in game with playoff tie-breaker implications. The fourth quarter of this matchup on the fourth of July weekend was filled with offensive fireworks. The two squads traded blow after blow, and with just over a minute left in regulation, the score was tied at 16. On this night, however, four quarters just wasn't enough. After a pair of close scoring opportunities for both sides, the horn sounded and the two teams prepared for overtime, knowing that only one could walk away with their fifth win of the season. After a timeout, Rabil tossed a dime pass to newly acquired Stephen Berger who scored the game winner in his first appearance for Boston. The Cannons came away victorious with a 17-16 overtime win.1 day ago ago by macall254 |

The Chuck Taylor All Star shoe has developed a number of nicknames over the years, such as: Converse All Star Hi-top Yellow, or Chucker Boots or Chuck Taylors for the higher styles. For decades the Chuck Taylor All Star High Top shoe only came in black, with a white variant released in 1947. Under pressure from basketball teams Converse decided in 1966 to manufacture other colors. Different materials also began to be used, starting in the 1970s, including leather Converse, suede and vinyl, and even hemp, rather than just canvas. Besides high-tops, low-tos and later knee-high versions were produced. Take on the classic Converse with a canvas upper, high ankle and rubber toe cap. The mens canvas trainers are perfect for a stylish, casual look, benefitting from a lace-up front and air holes to the instep for ventilation and comfort.

Recipe by Ed Haley
"Peeling an acorn squash is the key to this delicious dish that's cooked in a microwave. A fast and easy delight for busy families."
Watch video tips and tricks
1 acorn squash
2 apples, cored and sliced
1 tablespoon butter
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon finely chopped walnuts
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Very good! I followed the recipe for the ingredients but just filled halved acorn squash with the ingredients and roasted in the oven at 375 (covered for half of the time) until the squash was tender. Yum!
I was looking for something similar to my mom's recipe, but this didn't live up to my memory.

I have used a similar recipe for a long time that uses more butter. I put a little nutmeg and cardamon in mine as well. I am giving this 5 stars because it is a delicious way to make squash, and also for the tip on how to peel those buggers-they're not easy!! Thanks for the tip!!!
This is a fabulous recipe. I find myself making it weekly. Thank you so much for posting it. I omit the walnuts and add 2/3 cup of dried cranberries and 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce.
This was very sweet and delicious. Thanks for the tip on peeling the squash - it worked great. Make sure you use a sweet apple.
YAAA!!! I got my kids to eat Squash!! They thought it tasted like a dessert. Very Good. Thank you soooo much on the tip to peeling the squash. The peel almost fell off the squash. Will make again, great for a fall side dish!!
Fantastic! Thanks for the great idea on peeling the squash. This came out terrific, I drizzled about a tablespoon of Vermont maple syrup over the mixture to add some extra flavor. It came out great- Only complaint...it just wasn't enough- I will double the recipe next time.
This is an excellent addition to any fall meal. It was simple and tasty!

Ohio DNR pledges $500K toward improvements at Malabar Farms
By DOUG GRAVES
Ohio Correspondent
LUCAS, Ohio — Ohio's only state park that is also a working farm will get a huge facelift this summer. Malabar Farms, a 933-acre state park that boasts a multitude of crops and farm animals, is set for a series of capital improvements totaling $500,000.
Ohio Department of Natural Resources (DNR) Director James Zehringer is set to steer the farm-park in a new direction.
"Louis Bromfield showed farmers firsthand how we could improve our farmland and protect our drinking water," he said. "Our new vision for Malabar Farm involves an approach to agriculture that emphasizes sound environmental conservation practices that will create healthier soil and water, two things that Bromfield always strived to maintain on his farm."
DNR's initial capital improvement project at Malabar Farm includes updating the exterior of the Big House. Rotting boards and more than 14 layers of paint cover this historic home. DNR will replace the boards and repaint the Big House to return it to the beautiful farmhouse that Bromfield built.
The agency has pledged up to $500,000 in capital funds for updates and improvements at Malabar Farm.
"The Big House has needed this improvement for many years," said Zehringer. "The Malabar Farm Foundation recently raised money to replace the windows in the greenhouse, and we want to ensure we do our part to restore the grandeur and excitement to Malabar Farm."
In addition, restoring an emphasis on conservation farming practices at Malabar Farm is a top priority, according to Andy Ware, deputy director of the ODNR. "People of Ohio will go there next year at this time and have a different feel about Malabar Farm than what they have today," he said. "We're going to return the energy and excitement to the place."
In addition to capital funds, the department is committing the support of conservation experts from other divisions of DNR, such as the divisions of Wildlife, Forestry and Soil and Water, to further support the farm operation, he said.
"We want to make sure we're connecting with farmers and do everything we can to connect with farmers like Louis Bromfield did," Ware added. "We want to make sure we are providing the best information we can to farmers on the best conservation practices."
In order to achieve this new agricultural vision for Malabar Farm State Park, Zehringer announced Korre Boyer of Lucas will be serving as the park's new full-time manager. As a farmer and local resident, he said Boyer understands both the historic importance of Bromfield's agricultural accomplishments and the unique place Malabar Farm occupies in the local community.
Additionally, his work as a farmer, a teacher and his role with the Ohio Farm Bureau Federation make Boyer the pivotal person to implement the farming techniques DNR intends to apply at Malabar Farm State Park. In order to achieve this new vision, Boyer stressed he will collaborate closely with the divisions of Wildlife, Forestry and Soil and Water. Boyer started his new position Dec. 3, 2012.
Malabar Farm was established by Mansfield native and Pulitzer Prize-winning author Bromfield in 1939. During his time at Malabar, he penned a number of best-selling books and entertained countless Hollywood legends. In 1945, the Big House at Malabar Farm played host to the wedding of film idols Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall.
In the late 1930s, he created his dream, Malabar Farm. Inspired by his love of the land, Bromfield restored the rich fertility of the farmlands and preserved the beauty of the woodlands. He built the 32-room country home where family, friends and neighbors could share the pleasure of life on the farm.
Since taking ownership of Malabar Farm in 1972, DNR stated it has been dedicated to preserving the Big House and its many artifacts just as Bromfield left them.

In a surprising move, Rosie ended her show in 2002 to spend more time with her family. Since then, she's traded in the "nice" title for something more authentic and, oftentimes, more controversial. The same year her show went off the air, Rosie came out publicly as a lesbian, and in 2004, she married longtime partner Kelli Carpenter in San Francisco. Their marriage was later annulled by the State of California. Rosie took time out of the spotlight to stay home with her and Kelli's four children, Parker, Chelsea, Blake and Vivienne, before returning to daytime television. When a spot opened up on The View, Rosie settled in as one of the outspoken co-hosts. Ratings soared...and so did tempers. After a private argument with the show's creator, TV legend Barbara Walters, and a heated, on-air debate with co-host Elisabeth Hasselbeck, Rosie walked off the set in May 2007, never to return. |

Who hasn't been duped by the fine print on a credit card ad or car commercial? The fact of the matter is that most of us don't have the time or eyesight required to read that tiny type. But the words generally convey a message that is required by law—including information on extra fees and clarification of misleading statements. Jean talks to Edgar Dworsky, founder of consumerworld.org, about why consumers need to take heed of fine print.
Here's a list of Edgar's major offenders and what he says consumers can do to keep informed:

Rooms lets you IRC from your iPhone
Rooms is, so far anyway, the first and only IRC client for the iPhone. It's pretty stripped down as far as IRC clients go, but for simple chatting, it works really well. That said, it has quite a number of bugs, probably because it's only version 0.5. For the uninitiated, IRC stands for Internet Relay Chat, and involves real-time Internet communication on chat rooms called channels. There are hundreds of IRC servers located around the world, and is probably one of the oldest forms of Internet chat rooms.

Dublin, one of highest towns in the state (elevation 1,439 feet), is on the dividing line between the Connecticut and Merrimack river watersheds. It was granted in 1749, settled in 1752 by Scotch-Irish families, and chartered in 1771.
The people here were aware early of their towns special scenic beauty, dominated by Mount Monadnock and Dublin Lake. Summer tourists started arriving in the 1840s; many members of New Englands literary, intellectual and artistic society came to Dublin. In the late 19th century, an outstanding art colony gathered around Abbott H. Thayer, George de Forest Brush, Joseph Lindon Smith and others.
Dublin was once a farming community where women and girls engaged in palm-leaf braiding. Today, Dublin is site of some of the most beautiful and elaborate estates in the region, and home of Yankee Magazine and the Old Farmers Almanac.

The world of radiology has become a complex service and business. Radiologists provide diagnostic information by analyzing the results of studies obtained from sophisticated imaging equipment, and are increasing their participation in the therapy of disease by offering and performing a myriad of new treatment options. A growing number of professionals and skilled experts support the radiologist in this endeavor.
In today's large hospital-based radiology departments, a "team" mentality exists the team members include physicians, technologists, nurses, admin istrators, secretaries, and file room and billing office staff. Engineers, informatics staff, physicists, and maintenance personnel also may be part of the inhouse team. In other situations, some of these tasks are outsourced to contracting firms. The advent of conversion to PACS-based departments is affecting how each of these individuals are called on to provide expertise to assure a successful radiology service.
Fundamental to the service of radiology is the diagnostic image. Whether the image is used for diagnosis of a patient's medical problem or as a guide for therapy, it is the essence of all radiological procedures. The conversion from film-based to digital media for storage, display, and archiving will have a variable effect on the tasks performed by the different team members involved in the production and management of the images. For some of the players involved, these changes will be so profound that a methodology is needed for their management. By simply introducing PACS into the equation with-out enacting a plan for managing these changes, great opportunities to improve the productivity, efficiency, and quality of the service will be lost.
In this article we will discuss the value of strategic thinking and provide a more in-depth discussion of how to use one of the most valuable strategic thinking tools what we have called the "sheet of music"-to assist in the management of change. We will then explore how PACS will change the tasks of individual members of the radiology team.
Thinking and planning are activities that we perform every day, and the sequence in which we complete these steps is an important factor in achieving maximum effectiveness. Ideally, we should devote an adequate amount of time to thinking about all sides of a particular problem before progressing with planning or implementing a solution. Many of us learn this lesson the hard way. Often, we forge ahead with elaborately developed plans prior to focusing enough attention on what we ultimately hope to achieve with our plans. We then find our-selves going back to the beginning to rethink our options and correct our initial misadventures before resuming our planning and implementation processes.
Strategic thinking tools (or frame-works) can be used to aid in the process of strategic thinking. One of the most attractive attributes of such tools is that they are easy enough to be understood and applied by radiologists who have had no formal business training. Essentially, the tools communicate at a fundamental level between people. For example, in a regional healthcare community, where people possess diverse backgrounds, these tools enable the players to cross boundaries and effectively relate at a common, fundamental level.
A specific tool known as the "sheet of music" will be described herein to present a view of the impact of PACS on the radiology team. The sheet of music is a tool or framework for thinking about the activities of all the members of an organization or department; it is analogous to the conductor's musical score, providing a clear understanding of the roles to be played by each of the musicians. In any well run organization or department, a leader requires the same type of understanding of tasks of each of the members. Perhaps even more important is a clear understanding by all participants of their respective roles and the ways in which these roles complement those of other team members. In this way, duplication of roles is avoided and synergy between the players can be optimized.
The framework for a sheet of music tool is simply a series of columns. Each column has a heading which represents a specific segment of a department or organization. Below each heading are approximately five areas of activity that are determined to be the major focal areas for the section in question.
A well managed team will review the sheet of music several times a year. The head of each "section" should be represented at a team meeting, all seated around a table. When the dialogue becomes focused on prioritization within each column and interaction of items within and between columns, the result is a set of activities that fit together (in type and time) and are the most important areas of activity necessary for the organization or department to meet the needs of the customers.
There are a number of benefits to using strategic thinking tools, including the following:
Development of a common framework for solving problems -The sheet of music provides a framework in the form of a series of columns of activity, arranged by section of the organization or department.
Identification of a common "language" for addressing problems -The language consists of sheet of music, "sections", and "areas of focus." This tool is best used to address a specific problem. Whenever the problem needs additional attention, the team can revert back to the sheet of music tool for implementing a solution.
Simultaneous focus and flexibility of thought -Focus is derived by having a solid framework to identify the most key areas of a problem. However, in establishing the specific content (i.e., elements of the tool) there is flexibility for individual input as team consensus is developed.
Stimulation of creativity in problem resolution -Team brainstorming of content within the framework is conducive to creative synergy.
More effective communication by asking the right questions to find the right answers -The questions raised by the sheet of music tool are: what sections (groups) are involved in the decision making process and what are the areas of focus within each section.
The promotion of teamwork in problem solving -Teamwork is established as the process moves from individual input to consensus on the final result.
Establishment of team confidence in the problem solving approach -Confidence is achieved as the consensus process is carried out. The utilization of a framework helps ensure that all groups and their individual members are given adequate opportunity to incorporate their thoughts and concerns into a problem solving consensus.
Building of a foundation for solving problems in the future -As situations change, the sheet of music may be updated to address current concerns. The foundation established in creating the initial sheet of music tool makes updating the framework an efficient and effective process.
Provision of outlines for planning -Strategic thinking with the use of tools promotes "doing the right things." Planning-the process of "doing things right"-follows. The areas of focus become "the right things to do."
A focus on customer satisfaction -A meaningful team activity should always focus on the customer. Here, not only is the patient a customer, but every radiologist, as a potential user of the system, is a customer as well. The collaborative development of focus areas ensures that customer satisfaction is brought to fruition.
In a given application, some of the above benefits will be more significant than others. However, it is important to review all benefits to make sure that the users are getting the most utilization that they can for any given application. This can be done as a conclusion to the planning session.
Now that we have identified key benefits to using strategic thinking tools, let us look at several of the specific components needed for implementation of PACS into a relatively large radiology service and see what will happen to the work environment with the conversion to a digital PACS. Tables 1 through 6 summarize the major changes to individual components which we have identified. It is clear that some will be more affected than others. For example, the film librarian's duties will disappear, as will the transcriptionist. It behooves the organization to be cognizant of this fact and to begin to develop strategies for handling the personnel in these categories. Human resource counseling and training will be necessary for most of these individuals. Some will move on to positions outside the department, and others will be trained to fill some of the positions created by a PACS-run system.

The technologist will be little affected, though there will be a change in the method for introducing data regarding the patient and the method of accepting an image. The technologist will no longer be required to print studies on film for every case but may be called on to do this occasionally for unique needs. However, in most cases where PACS is nearly complete, the technologist is relieved of this task and it is moved into a common central location.
The radiologist will review his/her patient's request and data before reading the images from monitors located near the image reading station. Comparison images will be more easily sorted and will be electronically available much more rapidly. The medical report will be dictated using a voice recognition system, which the radiologist will have to become familiar with. Verification will be electronic, and there will be opportunities to consult with colleagues and other clinicians at a distance. All of these activities will require a certain familiarity with the system and its operations, to be gained with time and experience. It is important for the radiologist to realize that they will not be as accurate initially when reading softcopy images compared to the more familiar film. Efforts should be taken by management to minimize conversion and adjustment.
An interesting and all important role in conversion to a digital department is taken on by the quality control person(s), as illustrated in table 4. Much of what their day-to-day tasks entail is going to change. Specifically, they may be called on to maintain a much less frequently used processor in lieu of maintaining the networks, archives, and display stations.
Maintenance of the networks sometimes falls to the overall healthcare information systems (HIS) team. Nevertheless, somebody in radiology should be cognizant and understanding of the unique needs for networking large image data sets and the problems associated with this in order to represent radiology needs at the HIS level. Such a person will have to check the computer displays on a regular basis. They will be responsible for making sure that software associated with new or upgraded equipment is completely validated before being inserted into the PACS environment. This task may be handled by the industry representatives, but due to the multi-vendor environment, there must be some in-house way of providing oversight.
Finally, it is the quality control staff who usually are responsible for the training aspects of various personnel. We are well aware that, in the PC environment, software changes take place constantly. The need for somebody to be familiar with and able to explain these changes to users is paramount.
The people who perform the ancillary functions will have to understand the computer format and the new functions and information that it will provide in an online manner. Transportation is one example of a seldom thought of activity which will benefit from electronic assistance.
The above are generic comments that likely will be true in most situations. The real value of using the sheet of music is a greater understanding of how these changes will affect your personnel and how your organization should plan for these changes. Do not underestimate the value of this approach as a communication tool as well. The process of using the tool is every bit as important (if not more so) than the actual action items identified. Again, maximum benefits from the film-to-PACS conversion will only be gained if management decision-makers consider the effects on individual jobs and tasks and work at providing better service through a continuous reevaluation of the processes involved. AR
1. Identify the unique sections or clinical tasks within the department.
2. Identify the responsible persons or groups for each section or task.
3. Charge the responsible persons or groups to identify five major focus areas of
activity for their sections.
4. Create chart listing sections versus activities (tasks).
5. Executive team should review and approve of selected tasks.
6. Management team goes over the entire chart, focusing on prioritization and
interaction among sections leading to the action items.
7. The action plan, including all the base assumptions, should be monitored and
reviewed on a periodic basis.

New Yorkers remembered Ed Koch Friday after the former three-term mayor died at the age of 88. NY1's Zack Fink filed the following report.
Just two days after getting out of the hospital, Mayor Ed Koch was readmitted on Monday with fluid around his lungs.
Doctors said that is typically a sign of impending heart failure, which ultimately took the former mayor's life at approximately 2 a.m. Friday.
New Yorkers quickly weighed in on his death.
"I mean, I didn't live here at that time, but he's a bigger-than-life figure, and I'm really sorry to hear that he passed away," said one person.
"I live in Jersey, but I used to live in Brooklyn," said another. "I think he was just a mayor of all people, not just one particular group."
Koch had been in and out of the hospital over the last several months. He had previously said that death did not scare him, even picking his burial site in Washington Heights, just a few blocks away from where he passed away.
Koch engraved his own tombstone with a quotation from Daniel Pearl, a reporter from The Wall Street Journal who was murdered in Pakistan in 2002.
The quote reads, "My father is Jewish, my mother is Jewish, I am Jewish," and it notes that those were Pearl's last words before he was beheaded by a "Muslim terrorist."
In typical fashion for the iconic three term mayor, even his gravestone sends a strong message.
"I was a teenager when he was in office, but I liked his style," said one person. "I thought he was a no nonsense kind of guy. One of the few people who pushed back when you pushed at him."
Koch also wrote his own epitaph in 2009, which reads, "He was fiercely proud of his Jewish faith. He fiercely defended the city of New York and he fiercely loved its people."
The epitaph goes on to say that Koch loved his country above all else. He served in the armed forces during World War II.
The cemetery was busy preparing the grave site Friday afternoon. After his burial it will be open to the public, and Koch indicated in a recent documentary that he would like people to visit.

He started this in his European speech calling AMERICA: "DERISIVE, DIVISIVE and ARROGANT" The future President of the USA, Barack Obama deride OUR country and since then we have foundered.

Judged: 1 1 1 Yes, the problems with a gold standard are: 1) Only a finite amount of gold 2) A Growing Population 3) A Growing money Supply 4) When gold's market value drops to "Normal" levels, so does the value of the dollar. 5) It would take a set artificial gold price and that doesn't work with the commodity. I'm glad the repubs are talking about it. The public needs to understand what Bernack/Obama have done to the dollar by printing more money. Inflation is already here and it's only going to get worse as the Jackass demands the Fed continue propping up his failed economy. |

Judged: 1 1 The best AND right thing to do is to fire Obama absolutely as there is no other way. That is it--Obama is supposed to be let go by all of you in this election. You need a strong fellow as tough as John Wayne, who is fit for the image of the president and that image can only filled by Romney, but not Obama. Obama has failed in everything, without doing one single thing of any accomplishment but making vast damages and destruction. On Iraq, Obama claimed he had achieved approving and helping the mission of Bush by saying,"Mission accomplished". If it was Romney, he would say, "This is the time US withdraws from Iraq, for this confirms the ending involvement engaged from former administration". On bin Laden, many people do not like and disapprove the way of Obama's handling, by bowing to others like Muslims, to shuffle against them by telling to take credit instead, while there are not any pictures of dead body shown by being sloppy and giving a poor presentation. Unlike Obama, Romney would take charge of overseeing the raid, and give more details from the bin Laden case on all the conspiracy of bin Laden and 9-11 case, besides showing pictures of dead bin Laden and would not give excuses of fear in Islams and Muslims--that is supposed to be the way of a great man as president would do--and serving that is what US people want to know. Unlike Obama, by pointing to Bush, if Romney would be in charge of the economy for the last few years, the present public health care would be cost-effectively in place, debt-levels would not rise,,simultaneously the unemployment rate would be well under 6% and income and wealth of people would not drop. The middle class would not have declined and education becomes competitive for all people. No matter what color and race of people are, they all have job opportunities and that is all that matters. Women would be doing fine with rights of choices, to choose between careers, freedom of living and style,with freedom of speech, to be single, married or single mothers. The future would be bright with Romney thus because all of you need a great man with vitality, who possesses hands-on ability and skills, with great communication gesture and presidential image, to lead to get things done in the right way. Obama is not real, but an unrealistic radical, extremist as a con artist with a poor perversion image while having none of any capability. Now that YOU KNOW , what are you waiting for? Elect your good future which is right for all of you--Romney-Ryan for 2012. |
Judged: 1 |
For a gold standard to work wouldn't the rest of the world use it also so that the amount of gold end up distributed in the same manner as the amount of wealth around the world. It is an attractive idea because it would make it harder for people to spend money they did not have but overall I am thinking it would not work for us. |
Judged: 2 2 2 It's a mystery. |
"Truth to Power!" Since: Apr 07 74,307 |
Judged: 2 1 1 Agree. - I've wasn't raised in Indonesia by Muslims for 1/2 of my childhood. - Wasn't sent to live with my RICH Bankster gannny in Hawaii - I wasn't sent to RICH Private Schools in Hawaii by my Bankster granny - I've never been in a Terrorist's House like Obama - I've never started a career in a Terrorist's House as Obama has. - My wife is PROUD of her Country unlike barack's. - I've never voted against giving first aid to a suffering baby as obama has. - I've never added TRILLIONS to the national Debt as Obama has. - I've never Assassinated or Murdered US citizens as Obama has. Yep, I can confidently state that my experience does not mirror any of our criminal president's experience. |
"Truth to Power!" Since: Apr 07 74,307 |
Judged: 1 1 1 No, the US dollar would simply be pegged to the price of gold and the quantity it possessed to back it up. The chain reaction that followed would be interesting. Yes and in theory you could cash in your paper for the hard asset. That's another reason why it would never fly. The other problem is that the US Money supply must be increased to keep up with the increase in population so what happens if the supply or US Holdings/price of gold does not keep up? |
"Truth to Power!" Since: Apr 07 74,307 |
Judged: 6 4 3 Obama's Mentor Rev. Jeremiah Wright is an Anti-American pastor that also hates Jews. No we see why the Obama's Loved his church and why Barack admitted this jackass was his "Mentor." ROFL! Barack Hussein Obama is a Radical Piece of Shit. Sorry but the truth hurts. |
Judged: 2 1 1 Just like you! On your knees sissy boy!! |
"Truth to Power!" Since: Apr 07 74,307 |
Judged: 3 2 2 poor mykro brain. He's watching his criminal president obama sink further into the scum from which he came. Enjoy the wallow, pigs. -_- |
Judged: 1 1 1 The gold standard is not as simple as some would make it seem, and a look at history suggests that it is no solution to all economic problems. Complexitiy and the space allowed for comments prevent a subtantial debate on it here, but as always the web has argurments avialable (see links). As a cynic my take is that the Republicans (except for some like Ron Paul) are fishing for votes from folk that think this is a silver bullet. It is not and both the Republicans and Democrats know it. I would think that a return to the gold standard would lead to a renewed search for the 'Philosophers stone'. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gold_standard http://www.econlib.org/library/Enc/GoldStanda... |

Breaking News Judge orders Kyle Flack to stand trial in four Ottawa shotgun murders Testimony in Kyle Flacks preliminary hearing ended Wednesday when a Franklin County judge ordered him to stand trial in the shotgun murders of four people last spring at a farmhouse outside Ottawa.

Gregorian Chants Ron Baker's gesture shows Shockers honor the game in more ways than one The highlight of Wichita State's win in the Valley tournament was seeing sophomore Ron Baker applauding for Sycamores' senior star Jake Odum when he went out late in the game. Baker then followed Odum toward the bench and beckoned Shocker fans to pay homage, too. The Shockers are gracing the game in more ways than one. And that's just another compelling reason to stay tuned as they move toward their own defining season finale.
Business Crossroads Academy expansion decision is delayed Consideration of a plan by the Crossroads Academy, a downtown charter school, to double its size so it can accommodate middle school students was delayed Wednesday by a city development agency. The Kansas City Tax Increment Financing Commission postponed consideration of the schools request for $5.5 million in TIF assistance until March 24. The delay was required because a late amendment filed in an effort to satisfy objections to the proposal.

With counseling, I got my life back on track, finished college and got a good job. I am married now and have a family.

First off, I would like to say Eric Sogard should be the Face of the MLB; that vote was rigged in David Wright's favor. Baseball needs more nerdy-looking, glasses-touting, Bernie-leanin', jive-walking players. But without further ado, here is the AL West Spring Training Showdown. (You can check out the AL Central Spring Training Preview here and NL East Spring Training Preview here.)
Please, blog, may I have some more?Scott Feldman
It's amazing to me how many times teams get burned by signing huge free agent deals. It's like they're either not aware of what other teams are doing or they're not paying attention. How'd that A-Rod to Rangers deal work out for the Rangers? Hamilton and Pujols to the Angels? Or when the entire National League All-Star team spent three months in a Marlins uniform? Robinson Cano is quality, but Marco Scutaro could've won the Mariners the AL West if F-Her, Iwakuma and Taijuan were hitting on all cylinders. Well, at least the Mariners didn't need to give up anything but a crapton of a money. Cano went from re-signing with the Yanks to resigning to play with the Mariners (play on words points!). Can't fault a guy for taking that kind of money. Shouldn't be surprised either, I mean his mother's maiden name is Mercedes. When it appeared like Cano was going to the Yanks, I gave him the projected line of 97/29/110/.310/4 and ranked him fifth overall in my rankings that I'm working on now that will be published in January. Now, I can't see it. Not sure which way I'm re-shuffling my rankings, but his projections have to drop in Safeco, unless they move in the fences once again. I don't like just looking at what a player did in away games at the stadium he will now call home. Just looking at what Cano did in Safeco for his career doesn't tell the full story. He was facing the Mariners staff, and it was an away game. Players react differently to being on the road, especially cross country. With that said (reversal time!), in 40 games in Safeco, Cano had a line of 17/4/20/.309/2. Last year, Safeco played more neutral than it has in the past. Doubles and triples went up, homers and average sat pretty much where they were prior to the fences moving in. All of that info leads me to think what a fourth grader could've told you, Cano will remain a batting average plus but take a small hit in power. A small hit in power for a guy who doesn't regularly top 30 homers isn't great. The Mariners are now in play for every free agent so it might seem like his runs and RBIs won't take as big of a hit, but remember what happened when Pujols and Hamilton were united in Anaheim or every All-Star landed in South Florida? Not a whole lot for their runs and RBIs. Even if the Mariners sign every other free agent, it doesn't mean great things for Cano. I'll say Cano will stay relatively neutral from last year because the Yankees weren't good then either. So that brings me to Cano's projected line of 84/26/105/.312/4. Not terrible, not quite what I hoped for in a rebound season in New York. As Simon and Garfunkel would tell you, this deal does prove Seattle loves Robinson more than you ever Cano. Anyway, here's some more offseason moves for 2014 fantasy baseball:
Please, blog, may I have some more?Two weeks ago we looked at the speedsters from 2013 and there were more than a few names on the list that were available on the waiver wire at some point. For deeper leagues and daily fantasy players that need to maximize each and every matchup, even the smallest advantages can mean the difference between a win and a loss. That's why we focused a lot on matchups this past year, and we'll do it again in 2014. Even the best base stealers get caught once in a while, so it's good to know as much as we can about who might be doing the catching before deploying our fantasy lineups. There's a lot that goes into a stolen base, of course, and the battery of pitcher and catcher is a large piece of the puzzle. Pitchers who are good at holding baserunners can be avoided while pitchers who have a tendency to cough up a lot of steals can be exploited. Here's how some starters fared in 2013 and over the last three years against the stolen base.
Please, blog, may I have some more?Well, this is it folks. As alluded to last week, we have reached the last Saturday of the regular season, and therefore, have reached the last Saturday Daily Notes of the season. Obvious statement is obvious. To celebrate such a glorious occasion, I have formulated a thought. Incredible, I know! Me? Formulating thoughts? Quick, someone file estoppel action! Anyways, we'll be doing notes like we always do, in that, there will still be the ever popular bolded and hyper-linked player names along side the world famous Razzball player blurb thing-a-ma-jigs. But we are going to go a little GIF heavy this time around. Why? Because I thought it would be fun. And this is my series. Deal. But there's a rub here. Because brisket bro. Also, because these GIFs will represent the story of each specific player when it is used.
Now, you may say to yourself, isn't this a cheap way to not do any work? And I say to you… maybe. But also, let me put it this way. GIF hunting is hard. GIF making is hard. GIF editing is hard. Achieving proper context is hard. All of this is hard. That's what she said. Hey-ohhh. But yeah, enjoy the show. Or don't. It's the last one this season, so really, do whatever you want. After all, that's what I did. Here's what I noticed yesterday:
Please, blog, may I have some more?Clever girl.
The McC went 1-for-2 last night with a run. Not really numbers deserving of the lede, but since I only get to do this once a week, I do what I want. And plus, I had already done my photoshop before the game ended. So there's that. Truth be told, I really have nothing else to say about Andrew McCutchen. It is a very fine season. You know that. I know that. Sky… may not know that. He's busy helping out all you folks that don't have a Fantasy Baseball team in the running over at RazzFoot. That's what I'm calling our Fantasy Football site. Because 20 years ago, I loved the Ninja Turtles. You know, the Foot Clan? RazzFoot? NINJA VANISH! Eh. Whatever. The McCutch is having a great year. He's having a great Fantasy Baseball year. To hate him is to hate kittens. To love him is to not spell it McCutcheon. Start spreading the word. Here's what else I noticed yesterday:
Please, blog, may I have some more?Wow. Dot, dot, dot. I mean, WOW. Dot, dot, dot. Pause for reaction. WOW. Wow. WOW. Stunned silence. I mean, we all knew the suspension was coming, but everyone also figured he'd appeal it like Papa Smurf, you know, until he was blue in the face. The only explanation is the MLB had him dead to rights, which isn't the same as an epitaph for a pigeon you feed instant rice; that's dead to rice. Ryan Braun probably realized that 1) The Brewers aren't going anywhere this year. 2) He's injured. 3) There's no three. With the suspension of the Jewish Braun by the Jewish Selig, Selig becomes the 1st Jew ever sanctioned by the Jewish Anti-Defamation League, but Selig received high marks from the Jewish Self-Deprecation League. "As Selig was suspending Braun, Bud also pointed out how he had to bring out his media-friendly toupee," said Jewish Self-Deprecation League president, Yitz Steinberg. Mr. Steinberg added, "That kind of self-deprecation is hard to pull off." Obviously, Braun is droppable in all redraft leagues, and, if you're holding onto an expensive Braun in keepers, I'd look to drop him there too, if I needed the room. The good news is you can find off of waivers what Braun has been giving you thus far this year. The bad news, now they have to add an asterisk to the Famous Jewish Athlete pamphlet. Anyway, here's what else I saw yesterday in fantasy baseball:
Please, blog, may I have some more?At the time of this writing, there's a tentative trade in place, one that would send Matt Garza to the Texas Rangers in exchange for a few prospects, including the heavy hitting 1B/3B, Mike Olt. Olt has long been a trade candidate — he's an MLB-ready third baseman, but he's thoroughly blocked by Adrian Beltre — and I'm surprised he wasn't moved last season when his value was higher. Still, he's a good fit for the Cubs and he's been hitting quite well over the past month at Triple-A. The deal seems to make sense for both clubs, but this sort of tentative trade is never a sure-thing, as Cubs fans can attest. There's a decent chance that this one will be off the table by the time this post runs. And if that's the case, then Garza is scheduled for two starts next week. He's listed below along with all the others going twice.
As always, probable pitchers are subject to change. For a look at all fantasy baseball streamers, click that link.
Please, blog, may I have some more?Looking back on the unofficial first half of the fantasy baseball season can be a lot of fun, unless of course you are in dead last, in which case it's about as much fun as watching your auntie's cat play with its new Cat's Meow toy while you eat stale Circus Peanuts. In any event, the gods of SAGNOF have not been as kind to us thus far in 2013, and it shows in the numbers. The total number of steals in the league, 1524, is the lowest it's been since 2006. In addition, there are only 21 players with 15 or more steals at this point in the season. That's also the lowest it's been since 2006. It feels even lower given that just last year there were 28 players with 15+ steals at the break and 30 the year before that. This all means that players who steal 30 bags or more are a little harder to come by, and it's no sure thing that each fantasy team will have one or two guys that can carry them in steals like in years past. It also means that having a guy like Ben Revere break his foot and lose his season is a much bigger blow to our fantasy squads (mine included) than it used to be. So what do we do if we lost a guy like Revere or missed out on a Jacoby Ellsbury or Everth Cabrera type? If you read my column regularly, you know I'm a big fan of playing the match-ups when it comes to steals, and seizing the opportunity to eke them out whenever possible against teams that are weak against the run. After all, just because steals are down in general, it doesn't change the fact that they still make up 20% of our offensive points in most leagues.
Please, blog, may I have some more?Matt Kemp is headed back to the DL. He needs Chris Brown to slap some health into him. Obviously, this a terrible sign for Kemp since it's his shoulder that he had surgery on that is bothering him. Prior to last week, I stayed away from him all year. Teach me to waffle. Billy Butler, "Who's making waffles?!" On the bright side, Andre Ethier (3-for-5, 1 run, 1 RBI yesterday) should see everyday playing time. I'm not sure who that's a bright side for outside of Ethier and his close relatives. Maybe in some leagues where you're struggling to find a fifth outfielder, you give Ethier a bit of how's your father. There's no bright side for Kemp. I wouldn't touch him with a ten foot pole or touch a ten-foot Pole named Stanislaw. He's the Pole I've been seeing in my dreams. Anyway, here's what else I saw yesterday in fantasy baseball:
Please, blog, may I have some more?Two-start hoarders, welcome back. First things first: I'm vacationing in Mexico with what, by now, is a potentially-fatal sunburn. Not to worry, though, because the cervezas at this joint are unlimited, and I'm feelin' no pain. Zero. I just arrived here yesterday, and I'll be here through next Friday. That means my esteemed Razzball colleagues will be filling in for me in the comments for my next few posts. In any case, we've got a deep list of two-start options, and plenty of good streamers this week. The usual tiered rankings are below.
NOTE: I looked ahead at the two-start landscape a few days earlier than usual this week, so this group of probable pitchers is especially subject to change. Apologies in advanced for anything I may have missed. For a look at all fantasy baseball streamers, click that link.
Please, blog, may I have some more?

Financier, entrepreneur, and airline executive, born in Queens, New York, USA. The son of a lawyer who wanted to be an opera singer, he took a philosophy degree from Princeton (1957), dropped out of medical school after three years, and learned the broker's trade on Wall Street before establishing his own brokerage firm, Icahn & Co (1968). One of the most notorious corporate ??raiders?? of the 1980s, he enriched himself and his partners by his takeovers, and at the same time (so his defenders claimed), making money for ordinary stockholders. He also engaged in what was called ??greenmail??: threatening to take over corporations such as Marshall Field and Phillips Petroleum, he would sell his stocks at the end and walk off with a sizeable profit. In 1985 he bought Transworld Airlines (TWA), and as its chief executive officer, brought it back from near bankruptcy, but in 1992, despite sinking $100 million of his own money into it, he was forced to relinquish control of TWA to its employees.

Hi Everyone
It's been a while since I have posted on iVillage. I hope to jump back in and get to know you ladies again.
My name is Chris, and I am Mom to 7 year old Zach. He was diagnosed about a year ago with High Functioning Autism. He is in 2nd Grade now, and has a really good IEP in place. He does really well with spelling and reading, but struggles a bit with math. He is doing really well this year in school, but still struggles with social situations. He really wants to be around the other kids, and plays well when there is a game going on, but struggles with conversation skills. He is in a social group once a week, and they are working on these issues. He is also a Cub Scout now, and that is helping with social skills too.
I hope you all had a great Holiday Season! Ours was really fun, and a bit fustrating. We are in the process of selling our house, and our buyers are having issues with their lender and the IRS. We were supposed to close before Thanksgiving, and then again before Christmas, we are still waiting for the IRS to release paperwork to them so we can close. All our stuff is now in storage, and we have been living out of boxes since the week before Christmas. We can't buy our new house until we sell this one. We made the best of it though. We decided to rent a cabin near the resort we ski at for a few days over Christmas. We figured we didnt want to mope around our empty house. We had a blast! Hoping to close in the next week.
I hope to be around the board a lot more.

The only exception is when 'know' doesn't refer to knowledge, and the question is rhetorical:
'Do you know what is bugging me? He must have known before...otherwise he wouldn't...'. This is easy to remember: 'bugging me' isn't a noun. When you're asking about a noun, invert the 'direct question' order.

BYESVILLE, Ohio -- A teenager accused of stealing a number of ATV's was allegedly caught on Wednesday burglarizing a home in Byesville while on bond.
According to reports from Guernsey County Sheriff's Detectives, 18-year-old Austin Long of Byesville had his bond revoked after being caught in a home on Walnut Street. A male resident returned to his house at around 7:00 a.m. and reportedly found the suspect in the process of burglarizing his home. Long fled the premises; however, he had been a step-son of his intended victim from a previous marriage, and was identified by the resident as the perpetrator.
Deputies found and arrested Long, without incident, a short time later. Long was out on bond after being charged with receiving stolen property in Cambridge Municipal Court on August 24 following a number of reported ATV thefts in Jackson Township. He is, once again, in custody in the Guernsey County Jail.
Detectives say they will submit burglary charges to the grand jury for possible indictment regarding this latest incident.

What type of RAM?
Hello folks, I need your help really quick.
I'm wanting to upgrade a 2.16ghz Core2Duo iMac (White Plastic, I believe late 2006 model) What type of RAM would I need? DDR2, I know. Is this Desktop ram, or Laptop ram? I'm upgrading it to 4gb, although I know it only technically supports 3gb. How much should I expect to pay for something like this? And what would happen if I were to install some DDR3 1066 chips instead? Would it just downclock? |

The White Plastic Intel iMacs uses DDR2 667 MHz Laptop Memory.
You can not put in DDR3 Memory since it will not fit in to the slots in the iMac.
27" iMac 2.8GHz i7, 8GB RAM (Late 2009) 13" MacBook Pro 2.53GHz C2D, 4GB RAM (Mid 2009) iPad 32GB (1st Gen) iPhone 5 64GB |
