"Harpie" (ハーピィ Hāpyi) is an archetype composed of WIND Winged Beast and Dragon-Type monsters. Mai Valentine uses this archetype in the anime and manga.
"Sky Scout", originally known as "Harpie's Brother", is not a Harpie card because it does not have 「ハーピィ」 in its Japanese name. It was renamed to clarify this.
When "Harpies" were released (some of the first monsters released that would later become an official archetype), they didn't have much support. From Rise of Destiny onward, however, "Harpies" became more balanced and powerful. Since then, Structure Deck 8: Lord of the Storm has aided the "Harpie" archetype with cards such as "Hysteric Party". Furthermore, "Harpie Queen" was released in Force of the Breaker.
Lord of the Tachyon Galaxy introduced the first Harpie Xyz Monster, "Harpie's Pet Phantasmal Dragon", which is capable of attacking directly as well as protecting fellow "Harpie" monsters from attacks and targeting effects as long as it has Xyz Material. Also introduced was "Harpie Channeler", which can Special Summon "Harpie" monsters straight from the Deck by discarding 1 "Harpie" card, as well as open up Rank 7 plays through its level-changing effect. Additionally, a new Spell Card was introduced called "Hysteric Sign", which can search for "Elegant Egotist" and, upon destruction, add 3 "Harpie" cards with different names from your Deck straight to your hand.
"Harpie Lady Phoenix Formation", released in Legendary Collection 4: Joey's World, is a Spell Card that targets and destroys monsters your opponent controls up to the number of Harpie monsters you control then inflicts damage to your opponent equal to the original ATK of the monster with the highest original ATK destroyed by this effect. You need to have 3 or more "Harpie Lady" and/or "Harpie Lady Sisters" to use this card and if you do, you cannot Special Summon from your Main Deck or Extra Deck, nor conduct your Battle Phase that turn. Also, "Harpie Dancer" from Legendary Collection 4 can give Harpies extra Normal Summoning capabilities and combines well with "Harpies' Hunting Ground" and "Divine Wind of Mist Valley".
Maximum of 3 Rule
"Harpie Lady 1", "Harpie Lady 2", "Harpie Lady 3" and "Cyber Harpie Lady" have the phrase This card's name is treated as "Harpie Lady" in their effect text. Since this text does not specify a place the card has to be in order to be called "Harpie Lady", their name is treated as "Harpie Lady" everywhere, including while in the player's Deck. Due to this, a player can only have a total combination of any 3 of these cards and/or the Normal Monster "Harpie Lady" in their Main Deck and their Side Deck combined (such as 1 "Harpie Lady", 1 "Cyber Harpie Lady", and 1 "Harpie Lady 2").
Media appearances
In the anime, the "Harpies" are the signature cards of Mai Valentine. She often begins with one "Harpie" card and uses support cards to accessorize and multiply it. Joey Wheeler also used some "Harpie" cards as a reminder of his promise to save Mai from her Penalty Game.
A "Harpie Lady" also appears as a Duel Monster Spirit in Yu-Gi-Oh! GX. She battles Jesse Anderson and his "Crystal Beast Sapphire Pegasus". That same "Harpie Lady" later uses the effect of "Elegant Egotist" to multiply into 3, but they were defeated by "Sapphire Pegasus" and "Topaz Tiger".
Alexis Rhodes, Jasmine and Mindy dress up as the "Harpie Lady Sisters" in Yu-Gi-Oh! GX.
In Yu-Gi-Oh! 3D Bonds Beyond Time, at the site of Maximillion Pegasus's tournament, one of the spectators cosplays as a "Harpie Lady".
In Yu-Gi-Oh! The Falsebound Kingdom, the Harpie Ladies are given names, each based on those of three Harpy sisters from Greek mythology:
- Harpie Lady 1 - Airo (from Aello, "storm swift")
- Harpie Lady 2 - Ocupete (from Ocypete, "the swift wing")
- Harpie Lady 3 - Keraino (from Celaeno, "the dark")
In the Yu-Gi-Oh! Tag Force series, Jasmine plays a "Harpie" Deck.
Most "Harpies" in the international release of the game, including all language prints except Japanese, and in the anime have been edited to appear to wear bodysuits while in the Japanese versions they wear much more revealing clothing. "Cyber Harpie Lady" and "Harpie Lady Sisters" have had the spikes extruding from their armor removed due to the suggestiveness. However, some earlier printings of a few of the "Harpie" cards outside of Japan (specifically the original "Harpie Lady" and "Harpie Girl") were printed without being censored.
Playing style
"Harpies" combine the ability to be rapidly summoned, to destroy the opponent's Spell and Trap Cards, to increase each others attack points and abilities, and to work together to protect each other. They do not have the ability to destroy Spell and Trap cards innately, but the Field Spell Card "Harpies' Hunting Ground" allows the controller of the summoned Harpie or harpies to destroy one Spell or Trap Card when a "Harpie Lady" card is Summoned in any way. They can be Summoned from the Graveyard in mass amounts through the effect of "Hysteric Party". Their support cards, "Harpie's Pet Baby Dragon" and "Harpie's Pet Dragon", rapidly gain in power and usefulness through effects including protecting other "Harpie" cards and card destruction as the "Harpies" swarm the field. Properly played, "Harpies" can overwhelm the opponent in moments with high attack power and powerful effects, but they are individually not too strong, so they are vulnerable to opponents who Summon strong single Monsters early to whittle down the number of "Harpies" on the field.
WIND Monsters have good capacity to Special Summon, and as such the Deck can be fast. Although some of the Monsters are weak, cards such as "Harpie Lady 1" and "Hunter Owl" can leave you with a field full of enormous Monsters. The tendency of WIND Monsters to destroy Spell and Trap cards ("Raiza the Storm Monarch", "Harpies' Hunting Ground" and "Icarus Attack") leaves you able to attack in relative safety. Many cards from various packs can be quite useful if made an addition to a "Harpie Lady" deck. Many WIND Monsters, such as "Simorgh, Bird of Ancestry" and "Twin-Headed Behemoth", have useful effects that can help out in tough situations. In particular, "Stardust Dragon" fits perfectly into this type of deck: it is a high level WIND Monster, and its effect allows you to negate a destructive effect, such as that of "Dark Hole" each turn as long as you can keep reviving "Stardust Dragon" with its own effect, making it a great boost to the Deck's theme of destroying and negating your opponent's Spell and Trap cards. Also, it can be used as a instant Beatstick with "Starlight Road".
If a player is going to use Synchro Monsters, then they must use proper tuners. "Vortex the Whirlwind" is a level 5 Synchro Monster with the effect of Special Summoning any Level 4 or lower Winged Beast monster from your Deck. "Mist Valley Soldier" can be used with a "Harpie Lady" monster to make level 8 Synchro Monsters, such as "Stardust Dragon", "Scrap Dragon", or "Crimson Blader" which can do heavy damage to decks that Normal Summon or Special Summon level 5 or higher monsters like "Dragon Ruler", "Mermail", and most Synchro-based decks; also, in an emergency, it can be used with "Icarus Attack". "Blackwing - Gale the Whirlwind" can be used with "Icarus Attack" and can cut in half an opponent's monster such as "Caius the Shadow Monarch", "Stardust Dragon", "Red-Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon", and most powerful Synchro and Xyz monsters. More importantly, you can splash "Blackwing Armor Master", who is immune to crippling cards such as "Shrink" and "Honest", and "Black Rose Dragon", who can clear the field. "Dragunity Darkspear" can be used as either a substitute of "Monster Reborn" or used to summon the incredibly powerful "Dragunity Knight - Trident", who can eliminate the most popular archtypes in the game, such as "Gladiator Beast" and "Blackwings".
"Cockadoodledoo" is a Tuner monster that can be Special Summoned as a level 3 if there are no monsters on the field, making level 7 Synchro monsters (or even "Star Eater" if you summon 2 level 4 Harpie monsters), or it can be Special Summoned as a Level 4 monster if you control no cards and your opponent controls a monster, being able to make a Level 8 Synchro Monster or a Rank 4 Xyz Monster. "Cockadoodledoo" can also be used for "Icarus Attack". "Cockadoodledoo" is a fast and flexible Winged Beast Tuner monster, but it is banished when it leaves the field.
A possible card to use in this deck is "Inferno Reckless Summon". You can first use "Elegant Egotist", "Swallow's Nest" or "Hysteric Party" to Special Summon any "Harpie Lady" whose attack is 1500 or less after applying continuous effects. Then use the effect of "Inferno Reckless Summon" to summon more "Harpies". (You cannot use "Inferno Reckless Summon" with "Harpie Lady #1" because it will gain the extra 300 ATK instantly after being summoned to the field, but, should you Special Summon a different "Harpie Lady" such as "Harpie Lady 2" you would be able to use it as the target monster for "Inferno Reckless Summon's" effect) You can use "Harpie Channeler" however to activate it since she has only 1400 ATK and is treated as "Harpie Lady" while on the field. Since many "Harpie" monsters are treated as "Harpie Lady," you can also use "Three of a Kind" to significantly clear the Field. "Hysteric Sign" can help gain hand advantage by getting an "Elegant Egotist" from your Deck or Graveyard and also can give you any 3 Harpie cards with a different name from your deck upon being sent from your hand or side of the field to the Graveyard during the End Phase giving a +3 (You can only use 1 "Hysteric Sign" effect per turn so if you choose one, you cannot use the other effect til the next turn). You can use "Harpies' Hunting Ground" to destroy your "Hysteric Sign", or discard it to use "Summoner Monk's" Effect to help get your combos out faster.
This archetype has the ability to Xyz Summon Rank 4 monsters quickly with "Harpie Channeler", "Elegant Egotist" and "Hysteric Party". "Harpie Channeler" can act like a "Summoner Monk" for Harpies with the cost of 1 Harpie card in your hand, setting up the Graveyard for "Hysteric Party". "Harpie Channeler" can also summon out "Harpie's Pet Dragon" straight from your Deck making it easier to summon, also you can use them for an Xyz summon of a Rank 7 monster like "Gaia Dragon the Thunder Charger", "Number 11: Big Eye", "Mecha Phantom Beast Dracossack", "Number 74: Master of Blades".
"Harpie's Pet Phantasmal Dragon" is powerful Xyz Monster for WIND monsters that can be easily Summoned with "Harpie Channeler", "Elegant Egotist", "Hysteric Party", and even "Rescue Rabbit" if you are using "Harpie Lady". "Harpie's Pet Phantasmal Dragon" can attack directly while it has Xyz Material attached and it can also can protect your Harpie monsters from being targeted for attacks card effects. Another powerful Xyz monster that can be easily summoned in a Harpie deck is "Lightning Chidori". Although not strong in ATK, it has the powerful effect of putting cards your opponent controls into their deck. Also, you can Xyz Summon "Diamond Dire Wolf" which can destroy any card on the field with a cost of itself or one of your Harpie monsters, which can easily be returned to the field with "Hysteric Party". Harpie Decks also have the capability of Summoning Rank 4 monsters that require 3 Level 4 monsters with ease like "Number 32: Shark Drake", "Number 69: Heraldry Crest", "Number 91: Thunder Spark Dragon", "Number 104: Masquerade", and even "Evilswarm Ouroboros" or "Stellarknight Delteros", or other generally useful generic Rank 4 monsters that requires 2 monsters like "Number 39: Utopia", "Gagaga Cowboy", "Maestroke the Symphony Djinn" and "Number 50: Blackship of Corn", "Queen Dragun Djinn" (to revive "Harpie's Pet Dragon" or "Tempest, Dragon Ruler of Storms"), "Abyss Dweller", "Steelswarm Roach", "Photon Papilloperative", "Number 85: Crazy Box" (Useful if under "Skill Drain"), "Evigishki Merrowgeist", "Lavalval Chain" (Useful for sending your "Blackwing - Zephyros the Elite" and "Tempest, Dragon Ruler of Storms" from your deck to the graveyard), "Daigusto Emeral", "Number 82: Heartlandraco", "Number 101: Silent Honor ARK", "Evilswarm Exciton Knight", "Number 80: Rhapsody in Berserk", "Number 103: Ragnazero", "Cairngorgon, Antiluminescent Knight", "Castel, the Skyblaster Musketeer", and "Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon".
"Blackwing - Zephyros the Elite" is another level 4 monster that fits perfectly in Harpie decks. Zephyros can special summon itself by returning one of your cards to your hand, although you take 400 damage and you can only use his effect once per duel. Zephyros can help reuse cards like "Hysteric Sign", "Hysteric Party", or even "Fiendish Chain". You can also return your "Harpies' Hunting Ground" to keep it from being destroyed by it's own effect, or use it for "Summoner Monk" or "Harpie Channeler". You can also Special Summon him straight from your deck through "Summoner Monk" for Rank 4 plays, including "Number 66: Master Key Beetle", which can protect "Harpies' Hunting Ground" from being destroyed by its own effect, or can be used as a tribute fodder for "Eradicator Epidemic Virus"
"Ice Beast Zerofyne" is a powerful Xyz Monster that requires 2 Level 4 Winged Beast monsters, also has the ability to negate all face-up cards your opponent controls and gain 300 ATK for each other face-up card on the field until your next Standby Phase by detaching 1 Xyz Material From this card, giving more monster negation power to Harpies while destroying Spell/Trap cards.
Other good cards you can add to a Harpie Deck are "Effect Veiler", "Fiendish Chain", and "Breakthrough Skill". These cards can help patch up the deck's weakness of being generally vulnerable to monster effects.
Other cards that will work well with Harpies are "Windrose the Elemental Lord" and "Tempest, Dragon Ruler of Storms". These monsters are powerful sweepers in their own right, and their effects help them fit into a Harpie Deck quite easily. "Windrose the Elemental Lord" will destroy all of an opponent's Spell and Trap cards when Summoned, but if he leaves the field, you will have to skip the battle phase of your next turn (not the turn that it is Summoned). "Tempest, Dragon Ruler of Storms" can be Special Summoned from the hand or Graveyard by banishing two monsters that are Dragon-Type and/or WIND from your Graveyard. This can be used to adjust the number of monsters in your grave so that you may summon "Windrose the Elemental Lord", who needs exactly 5 WIND monsters in your graveyard. "Tempest, Dragon Ruler of Storms" has another useful effect that fits perfectly into any good Harpie deck. It can be discarded along with another WIND monster to add a dragon from your deck to your hand. The ideal target being "Harpie's Pet Dragon". "Tempest, Dragon Ruler of Storms" can also be used with "Harpie Channeler" for Rank 7 Summons. You can also combine "Tempest, Dragon Ruler of Storms" with "Sacred Sword of Seven Stars" to add more draw power and consistency. However "Tempest, Dragon Ruler of Storms" and "Sacred Sword of Seven Stars" are Limited in the January 2014 list, making the combo inconsistant.
Another good card to use with Harpies is "Kagetokage". Kagetokage is a Level 4 monster that can be Special Summoned from the hand with its effect when the player Normal Summons a Level 4 monster. Since almost all Harpie monsters are Level 4, you can splash this card in Harpies Decks, giving Harpies more swarm power, more Xyz range and more DARK targets for "Dark Simorgh". You can also splash "King of the Feral Imps", since he only requires 2 Level 4 monsters to help search out "Kagetokage" from your Deck, and also another DARK target for "Dark Simorgh" and "Deck Devastation Virus".
"Harpie Lady Phoenix Formation" is a powerful Spell Card for Harpies that can destroy a number of the opponents monsters up to the number of the player's "Harpie Lady" and/or "Harpie Lady Sisters" monsters, and inflicts damage equal to the highest original ATK among them, giving powerful monster destruction to Harpies. However, 3 or more "Harpie Ladies" and/or "Harpie Lady Sisters" are required to activate this card, and after it is activated the player cannot Special Summon from the Main Deck or conduct their Battle Phase. Since "Harpie Queen" and "Harpie Channeler" are treated as "Harpie Lady" on the field, they can be used for the Harpie Lady requirement. Also, since "Harpie Lady Phoenix Formation" is a Harpie card, it can be added from your Deck to your hand with "Hysteric Sign".
"Harpie Dancer" is a Harpie monster that returns any WIND monster you control to the hand to Normal Summon an extra WIND monster. "Harpie Dancer" can be used with "Harpies' Hunting Ground" to destroy an extra Spell/Trap card and avoid "Bottomless Trap Hole". "Harpie Dancer" combines extremely well with "Divine Wind of Mist Valley" to increase swarm power in Harpie Decks and bring out big Xyz Monsters (either Rank 4 or 7 if you bring out "Harpie Channeler" and use her effect to get "Harpie's Pet Dragon"). However, "Divine Wind of Mist Valley" is Limited in the January 2014 list, making Divine Wind less playable in Harpie decks.
"Magical Hats" is a good Trap Card that works well with "Hysteric Sign", but can only be used during the opponent's Battle Phase and you must control a monster to use it. You can also use it with cards like "Elegant Egotist" (since you can retrieve it with "Hysteric Sign"), "Breakthrough Skill", and even "Skill Prisoner" (which can protect your monsters from "Effect Veiler" and other monster effects that target).
Cards like "Cardcar D", "Upstart Goblin", "Reckless Greed", and "Pot of Duality" can be good for Harpies, because the Deck sometimes has consistency issues; however, "Pot of Duality" prevents Special Summoning that turn, which is not good for Harpies. "Traptrix Myrmeleo" can help search for "Bottomless Trap Hole" (and other Hole Normal Trap Cards), and it can be good for making Rank 4 monsters.
"Soul Charge" is a card somewhat similar to "Hysteric Party" in this deck, But unlike Hysteric Party, this card can special summon any monster(s) in your graveyard like "Tempest, Dragon Ruler of Storms", "Harpie's Pet Dragon", "Blackwing - Zephyros the Elite", "Summoner Monk", and even Tuners, "Traptrix Myrmeleo" and "Kagetokage" (if you run them), but it cost you 1000 life points for each monster summoned by this effect.
Despite the many powerful combos that "Harpies" are capable of, there are still weaknesses within this archetype that can be capitalized on. For instance, all "Harpie" monsters, except "Cyber Harpie Lady", "Harpie Queen", "Harpie's Pet Dragon" and "Harpie's Pet Phantasmal Dragon" are generally low in original ATK. Without an ATK boost, they may easily be destroyed by powerful monsters and are vunerable to cards such as "King Tiger Wanghu" and "Deck Devastation Virus". You can add "Harpie Lady 1", "Bladefly", and/or "Rising Air Current" to avoid these problems. Harpie monsters can also have problems with big monsters with attacks of 2500 or more. This problem can be solved by Xyz Summoning a monster with either a high attack or a powerful effect, Also you can use "Harpie Lady Phoenix Formation" to destroy those powerful monsters if you have 3 Harpie Ladies and/or Harpie Lady Sisters. Also, you can Xyz Summon "Number 91: Thunder Spark Dragon" and use its effect to destroy all other face-up monsters on the field to take care of powerful monsters, or Xyz Summon "Evilswarm Exciton Knight" to destroy all other cards on the field.
Cards that restrict the Special Summoning of monsters, such as "Archlord Kristya", "Fossil Dyna Pachycephalo", "Jowgen the Spiritualist" and the "Vanity" cards can also cause problems to this archetype. El Shaddoll Winda that limits special summons can ruin this archetype and it can be very hard to get rid of it since it cannot be destroyed by card effects and it has 2200 atk. You can use monster removal cards like "Icarus Attack" and "Spiritual Wind Art - Miyabi" (helps get rid of El Shaddoll Winda) to help with those problems. Also, you can use "Breakthrough Skill" and "Fiendish Chain" to negate their effects. Finally, "Poisonous Winds" is very useful against this Deck, though it can easily be destroyed by "Harpies' Hunting Ground".
Harpies use effects to swarm the field and power-up each other, so cards that negate monster effects like "Effect Veiler", "Breakthrough Skill", "Fiendish Chain", "Forbidden Chalice", "Mermail Abyssgaios", "Divine Wrath", etc. can hurt them and slow them down greatly; "Skill Drain" and "Destiny HERO - Plasma" can put Harpies in a very difficult situation. Spell/Trap cards that remove cards from the field like "Mystical Space Typhoon", "Dust Tornado", "Icarus Attack", "Spiritual Wind Art - Miyabi", "Mind Drain" (stops "Effect Veiler"), Skill Prisoner (same as "Mind Drain"), etc. can help get rid of those cards. However, the effects of "Harpie Lady 1", "Harpie Lady 2", "Harpie Lady 3" and "Cyber Harpie Lady" that treat their names as "Harpie Lady" is a condition, and as such cannot be negated.
"Maxx "C"" can cause problems since Harpies Special Summon a lot with Chainable effects, causing your opponent to draw 1 card for each of your Special Summons. Also, since Harpies mainly Xyz Summon, "Flying "C"" can shut down the Deck; this can easily be solved by using "Mind Drain".
Harpies rely heavily on their normal summon outside of "Hysteric Party" and even "Soul Charge" to do plays. Cards that chains upon their summon like "Torrential Tribute", "Compulsory Evacuation Device", "Book of Moon", "Trap Hole", "Bottomless Trap Hole" (On Harpie monsters with 1500 or more atk) or even "Solemn Warning" and "Horn of Heaven" can hurt this deck alot or even cause them to lose the game. Cards like "Trap Stun", "Wiretap", "Seven Tools of the Bandit" or even "Royal Decree" can help against these type of problems. Also, "Forbidden Lance" or "Forbidden Dress" can help your strategy go through.

The Texans have signed RB Chris Ogbonnaya from their practice squad and released former featured back Steve Slaton.
Ogbonnaya was Houston's leading rusher during the preseason and is seen as a better special-teams player than Slaton, who lost his kick-return job when the team signed Danieal Manning in the offseason. With Ben Tate running well and Arian Foster likely to return from injury soon, there aren't many carries available in the Texans offense for a third running back.
Slaton rushed for 1,282 in his rookie season of 2008, but a neck injury slowed his career down the next season and he has yet to come close to that production since.
The way we see it
Slaton has shown flashes of brilliance in his short NFL career and is likely will be picked up by another team, but injuries and consistency have been issues. Not being a factor on special teams likely was the reason he was let go by the Texans.

NEW YORK -- Little Jerry Seinfeld clucked into Citi Field on Friday afternoon, after Mets reliever Tim Byrdak asked a clubhouse attendant to buy the live chicken from a downtown Flushing merchant. In a reference to closer Frank Francisco calling the Yankees "chickens," Byrdak presented the bird to Francisco and told him the Yankees sent it over from the visitors' clubhouse.
After Francisco cried foul -- fowl? -- Byrdak eventually admitted that the joke was his doing. So now the Mets have a mascot, or at least a good luck charm. With Little Jerry -- a reference to Cosmo Kramer's cock-fighting chicken on a 1997 episode of "Seinfeld" -- sequestered in the clubhouse, the Mets plated five runs in the first inning off Yankees starter Andy Pettitte on the way to a 6-4 win.
"Of course he's worth it," Byrdak said of his $8 purchase. "We scored five in the first."
Clearly, the Mets have embraced their inner poultry since Francisco's comments made the front page of Friday's New York Post, alongside a picture of Derek Jeter's head superimposed onto a chicken's body. Rather than apologize, Francisco clarified that his comments were in reference to the Yankees often complaining about calls. Then he went out and pitched a scoreless -- albeit rocky -- ninth inning to close out Friday's Subway Series opener, while his teammates continued to joke incessantly about the whole ordeal.
Overnight, team chef Theresa Corderi researched online what to feed Byrdak's chicken, settling on a mix of oatmeal, berries and bread. But it all begged the question: what's next for Little Jerry?
"You can't just put it out on Roosevelt Avenue," noted teammate Jason Bay.
Lest a horde of animal-rights groups come banging on the clubhouse door, Byrdak said he is researching "a chicken sanctuary or somewhere where he can rest comfortably the rest of his life, and not worry about a deep-fryer or an oven."
In the interim, Little Jerry Seinfeld was "resting comfortably in a very secure place" prior to Saturday's game, Byrdak said, while his teammates continued to cluck about the joke.
"I did my best to stay out of the clubhouse yesterday," manager Terry Collins said. "It was pretty funny. I don't know if the chicken is still here. I don't know where it is. I don't want to know. But it keeps the clubhouse loose in certainly an intense situation."
Mets rest Francisco due to oblique soreness
NEW YORK -- Mets closer Frank Francisco was unavailable out of the bullpen during Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Yankees due to what he described as soreness in his left oblique. The right-hander confirmed after the game that no tests were scheduled and that the soreness was unfamiliar.
Francisco said he initially felt some pain after converting a 20-pitch save on Friday night, but he shrugged it off as "normal soreness." He attempted to throw prior to Saturday's game but was scratched after the discomfort failed to subside.
Francisco's absence left the Mets' already short-handed bullpen with only five arms on Saturday. With Ronny Cedeno returning from the disabled list on Friday, manager Terry Collins elected to option reliever Elvin Ramirez to Triple-A Buffalo.
Rest works wonders for concussed Bay
NEW YORK -- Saying he feels "astronomically better" over the past few days and "a thousand times better" than he thought he would at this point in his recovery, Mets outfielder Jason Bay returned to Citi Field this weekend amid optimism that his concussion is less severe than originally feared.
"I actually feel pretty good," Bay said. "A lot better than I thought I would."
More than most, Bay can lean on an accurate frame of reference, having missed more than two months of the 2010 season with a serious concussion after crashing into Dodger Stadium's outfield wall -- much as he slammed his head into Citi Field's fence on June 15. In the days following that injury, both manager Terry Collins and general manager Sandy Alderson said publicly that they feared a long absence for Bay.
But in 2010, Bay took plane rides with the team and appeared in games in the days following his concussion -- activities that, in hindsight, may have stunted his recovery. This time, Bay reported immediately to his home in Westchester, N.Y., where he "had a week of real relaxation, just kind of doing nothing."
The result was a symptom-free, high-spirited outfielder who discussed his concussion on Saturday afternoon. Though Bay will not have a firm grasp on his status until he begins attempting some more intensive physical activity, possibly as soon as this week, he also knows that his current condition is promising.
"It took me a lot longer to get to this point two years ago," Bay said.
"The fact that his head feels better, that the headaches and the dizziness is going away, those are great signs," said Collins, who spoke with Bay at length on Friday, when the outfielder showed up to the park for the first time since his injury. "I know our medical team will take this slow and hopefully get him back as soon as we possibly can."
Bay hesitated when asked if he will ultimately rein in his effort on defense, avoiding the types of headlong dives that have resulted in two concussions and a fractured rib over the past 24 months. Now 33 years old, Bay still boasts plenty of mobility in the outfield and has established a reputation as an aggressive defender.
But the result has been an inability to stay healthy since the Mets signed him to a four-year, $66 million contract in 2010. Bay has appeared in just 240 games since that time, hitting 22 home runs.
"It's not ideal, that's for sure," Bay said. "There is a concern, no question. I'm not going to say that there isn't. But at the same time, it's something that you try to forget about."
Worth noting
Ike Davis was a late scratch from Saturday's starting lineup due to a bout of food poisoning. In Davis' absence, second baseman Daniel Murphy slid over to first base for the fourth time this season, with Jordany Valdespin manning second.
Collins would like injured shortstop Ruben Tejada to receive at least 20 at-bats at Triple-A Buffalo before the team will consider activating him. Tejada, who has been on the disabled list since May 7 with a strained right quad, entered Saturday with 12 at-bats at Buffalo. Said Collins: "I want to make sure not only that his timing at the plate is in order, but I want his legs in good shape."

A Greenville narcotics officer is accused of stealing more than $9,000 dollars from people's homes.
Rose Edmonds had her first appearance today. A grand jury indicted her Monday on two counts of breaking and entering, larceny and obtaining property by false pretense.
Edmonds quietly read a book as she waited for her first appearance. She was straight-faced as a judge told her, if convicted, she could face 12 ½ to 14 ½ years behind bars.
Greenville Police Chief, Hassan Aden, fired the 20-year police veteran in February for allegedly falsifying a departmental record, lying and gross negligence. She was a narcotics officer for 12 years.
"Most mistakes are genuine and involve people trying to do the right thing. This situation that we're dealing with today is different and involves a willful act that betrays the public's trust," said Chief Aden, at a press conference in February.
But little was known about what led up to the investigation until now. 9 on your side did some digging and found some answers.
The indictment says she broke into two separate apartments last October and stole a combined $9,100.
One of the apartments is at "Copper Beech" and the other is at "The Exchange." Both are student complexes.
One of the people Edmonds allegedly stole from has a long list of drug charges.
Neither of the victims were home Tuesday, but a neighbor at Copper Beech told 9 on your side he didn't know who to trust anymore.
"It's definitely crazy to hear that. We see them [police officers] driving around here all the time. I don't know if I should trust them now, just being around here, if they're going to be breaking into my house, if I should hide my things, hide my money," he said.
And at the same February press conference, Chief Aden made it clear trust is everything.
"We are accountable. And we will take whatever steps necessary to maintain the public trust. If we don't have that public trust, we're finished," he said.
The SBI and Attorney General's office are handling this case. Edmonds is currently out on a $25,000 unsecured bond. Her next court date is June 6th.

9 On Your Side is learning more about what a former Greenville narcotics officer did to lose her job.
A grand jury indicted Rose Edmonds Monday. She's charged with breaking and entering, larceny, and obtaining property by false pretense.
Edmonds went before a judge in superior court Tuesday. The judge told her she could get 25 to 29 months for each count.
The case has been turned over to the SBI. Representatives with the agency wouldn't comment on the investigation.
But the indictment says Edmonds broke into two apartments last October.
One of the apartments is in Copper Beech, the other is at The Exchange. Both of them are student apartment complexes.
One of the people Edmonds allegedly stole from has a long list of drug charges.
Back in February, Greenville Police Chief Hassan Aden fired Edmonds for "serious policy violation and criminal misconduct."
Her next court appearance is scheduled for June 6.

Amid rumors of being eyed for acquisition by Cisco, Skype has officially launched Skype Connect 1.0, a box that connects PBX and unified communication systems to the company's popular peer-to-peer VoIP service.
The release of Skype Connect 1.0 -- formerly in beta as Skype for SIP -- may shed some light on why Cisco might be interested in picking up Skype. Just as Google is no longer just a search company, Cisco is certainly more than a networking company. Rather, it has steadily expanded its communications and collaboration portfolio over the years with such mergers and acquisitions as WebEx, telepresence company Tandberg, and IM purveyor Jabber, not to mention a dozen VoIP companies between 1997 and 2006.
[ Also on InfoWorld.com: Cisco patches bug that caused partial Internet blackout | Get expert networking how-to advice from InfoWorld's Networking Deep Dive PDF special report. ]
Skype takes a peer-to-peer approach to VoIP that could complement Cisco's existing communication arsenal: Rather than processing calls on a central server, the work is done on the connected clients (or, in Skype-speak, the nodes), making for a more scalable system. Skype also plays well with SIP, which Cisco current uses for it IP telephony line.
The official release of Skype Connect 1.0 sweetens Skype's business appeal -- and perhaps its appeal to Cisco: The box connects to existing PBXes, routing outgoing calls over Skype's peer-to-peer network and incoming calls to an organization's existing office infrastructure. Admins can use Skype Connect to manage Skype calls using existing PBX or UC systems' features, such as call routing, automatic call distribution, conferencing, auto-attendant, voicemail, call recording, and logging.
The product is certified to support PBX and UC products from Avaya, Cisco, SIPfoundry, ShoreTel, and other OEMs.

KHQ.COM - Hordes of shoppers descended on stores across the country in the ritual known as Black Friday after many major retailers moved their openings into Thanksgiving night.
At the Mall of America, outside Minneapolis, shoppers thronged the stores to load up on goods early Friday but the situation was under control, NBC News' Jay Gray reported.
Stores typically open in the wee hours of the morning on the day after Thanksgiving, named Black Friday because it is traditionally when they turn a profit for the year.
But this year, stores such as Target and Toys R Us opened as early as Thanksgiving evening.
That led holiday shoppers to ask themselves a tough question: Deal with the crowds now or later?
Finding the best Black Friday deals started Thursday evening for many shoppers as some major stores opened earlier than ever to get a jump on the holiday shopping season. It is unclear how many shoppers were drawn to the earlier openings versus the traditional Black Friday hours. But a survey this month found about 17 percent planned to shop at stores that opened on Thanksgiving.

CATEGORIES MoviesIf ever a super hero movie needed a relaunch it's 'Daredevil,' Marvel Comic's blind avenger. Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner starred in the much maligned (by critics and fans alike) 2003 big-screen adaptation and now that Fox has successfully rebooted the X-Men franchise with the 'X-Men: First Class,' the studio is ramping up a new edition of the red-clad crimefighter.
'Fringe' writer-producer Brad Caleb Kane has been hired to write the new 'Daredevil,' and he's basing it on Frank Miller and David Mazzucchelli's famous 'Daredevil: Born Again' story line that ran in the comic's Feb.-Aug. 1986 issues.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Kane -- a Daredevil fan -- has gained a following for his script for 'Brooklyn's Finest' and has worked on DreamWorks' View-Master movie, a Richard Pryor biopic that has Bill Condon attached to direct, and a draft of 'The Historian,' Columbia's planned adaptation of the Elizabeth Kostova vampire novel.
David Slade ('30 Days of Night,' 'The Twilight Saga: Eclipse') is attached to direct. No cast or start date has been set.

A hunger for lighter-weight and lower-cost sales and CRM applications has brought great success to SaaS vendors such as Salesforce.com, and also lifted the fortunes of open source offerings in the space. Open source ERP has had a harder time breaking out, but here too there are several impressive offerings to choose from. And if you're looking to open source for an enterprise portal, CMS, or Microsoft Exchange substitute, you will not be disappointed.
[ See Bossie winner slideshows: Applications | Networking | Platforms and Middleware | Security | Software development| Storage ]
Commercial open source pioneer SugarCRM is our top choice in CRM. Its trident of offerings – installed, hosted, and a good drop-in appliance – give IT the flexibility it needs, and the easy-to-use Ajax interface enhances user adoption. Users will also appreciate the offline client synchronization; integration with Microsoft Outlook and Microsoft Word is enterprise-grade.
Just as important, a good developer community has taken shape around SugarCRM, making a library of plug-ins and feature enhancements available for the suite – including VoIP integration.
SugarCRM has no shortage of competition from open source rivals Centric CRM, CentraView, and openCRX. The most notable of these is Java-based Centric CRM, which touts team collaboration tools for customer service and salesforce automation, as well as strong online marketing tools forged through a relationship with open source demand generation software vendor LoopFuse. A recent influx of capital from Intel won't hurt it any, either. Long dominated by big guns such as SAP and Oracle/PeopleSoft, ERP has earned a reputation for complexity, and its proximity to the revenue pipeline discourages disruption. As a result, change happens slowly in the ERP market, making it difficult for the bright lights of open source ERP -- Apache OFBiz, Compiere, ERP5, Openbravo, OpenMFG/Postbooks, and TinyERP -- to shine through.
Further, none of these open source solutions yet compares with the breadth of back office functionality, usability, and integration found in today's SaaS offerings, such as NetSuite.

We regret to inform you that the zembly service was suspended on November 30th, 2009. However, Zembly now provides Dumpster Rental Services.
More than three years ago, the zembly project was started with the goal of making it easy to create next-generation Web apps. The original tagline was "Build the web, using the web," and the ideas that zembly was incubating around platform-mediated Web applications, Web API mashups, and social programming were brand new.
The team learned a lot along the way. Your confidence and enthusiasm helped the team improve the project and do amazing things that were never imagined when the journey began.
A big thanks to everyone who's been with the team through the ups and downs. It's heartening to see that many of the best ideas pioneered in zembly have started to appear elsewhere. With your support, zembly is proud to have contributed to the DNA of the Web.
For questions or problems please contact [email protected] .
A new zembly is starting soon, stay tuned!
The original zembly was brought to you byTodd Fast
Todd was CTO and founding principal of zembly. Prior to zembly, Todd was Chief Architect of Java Enterprise Tools at Sun, and lead architect for SOA and XML tools in the NetBeans IDE. In the 1990s, Todd composed the score for a famous Hollywood director's first film and found a bug that crashed Microsoft.com for several hours.
Chris Webster
Chris served as the technical lead and held many other roles during the lifetime of zembly. He worked extensively on the zembly platform, including persistence, WADL execution, JavaScript execution, and also spent some time adding Bespin integration. Chris majored in Computer Science at the University of Hawaii and Baylor University. He enjoys lifting weights, playing volleyball, and spending time with his son.
Girish Kumar
Girish has been with zembly since the inception, working on many key areas of the platform, then moving on to lead the deployment effort. Girish majored in Computer Science at National Institute of Technology India and has been working in various projects within Sun Microsystems. Yoga, mountain climbing, backpacking, body boarding, and snowboarding are some of the other gigs he did this year. Next year, off to something different ... got any suggestions?
Jirka Kopsa
Jirka has been with zembly since the beginning. He helped define the front-end architecture and created numerous pillar features including support for Facebook and Meebo apps. Yet, he is best known for constantly pushing the envelope of what's possible with zembly and persistently asking the question "what's the use case?"
Ryan Kennedy
Ryan was the first marketing hire for zembly, responsible for product management, marketing, and business development over the lifetime of zembly. He graduated from Santa Clara University and holds a graduate degree in Software Engineering. Ryan enjoys playing ice hockey, making birdies, and traveling to far away places.

RALEIGH — The Triangle Land Conservancy has a new executive director.
Chad Jemison was hired to lead the private nonprofit organization, which conserves open spaces to preserve clean drinking water, wildlife habitats and local farming. Jemison started Monday, replacing Kevin Brice, who resigned in April after more than eight years in the position.
The conservancy wants to reach new people, and its board thinks Jemison can do that, said Anne-Marie Vanaman, director of development and marketing.
"We're really looking to Chad to help craft a strategy for increasing the organization in spite of the economy," Vanaman said.
Jemison said he will emphasize three goals: building political support for land protection and increasing financial support and public support for the organization, including growing its membership.
The conservancy has about 3,000 members, but Jemison said he aims to raise that number before its 30th birthday next year. He plans to hold more events at the conservancy's public preserves to make people aware of the opportunities it provides for people to connect with nature.
The conservancy has special challenges now as nonprofits deal with fewer donations and budget cuts, Jemison said. As the Triangle continues to grow in population, it's becoming more difficult to preserve green space, he said.
"It's a wonderful place to live, and there's just great opportunity for the organization to grow and have a great impact," Jemison said.
Jemison was most recently a land manager at Scenic Hudson in Poughkeepsie, N.Y., and executive director of Huyck Preserve and Biological Research Station in Rensselaerville, N.Y. He graduated from Colgate University in Hamilton, N.Y., and later completed a one-year graduate program at Teton Science Schools in Jackson Hole, Wyo.
The Triangle Land Conservancy was founded in 1983 and has protected more than 15,000 acres in a six-county area, including five nature preserves that it owns and opens to visitors year-round.

Florida's Natural Growers was the first cooperative ever of its kind, organized in 1933 by growers who had a personal interest in bringing the best possible citrus products to the market. Today, we are one of the largest Florida citrus cooperatives of growers, with a membership base of 13 grower associations. The entire cooperative is made up of more than 1,000 grower-members who own more than 50,000 acres of fine citrus groves in the heart of central Florida.
Citrus growing is a time-honored tradition in central Florida, one that has been passed down through generations. Our grower families came together through Florida's Natural Growers to ensure that the knowledge and lands our grandfathers passed down to us continue to thrive and to cultivate the juiciest, best tasting oranges you can get anywhere in the world.

Montel Williams Defends Suicide Wish on Bachmann Moments After Decrying Limbaugh 'Slut' Comment
As he appeared as a guest on Friday's Piers Morgan Tonight on CNN, moments after decrying Rush Limbaugh's recent "slut" comment, liberal talk radio host Montel Williams defended his infamous suggestion that Michele Bachmann should kill herself by decapitation as being unrelated to the recent Limbaugh matter.
While he was discussing his encounter with a wounded American soldier, he bizarrely brought up Limbaugh as if to suggest that the conservative host's strong words were a dishonor to the people who fight to defend the country. Williams:
I stop and think about all those guys, and they're over there looking back at us. And they're saying: You want me to die for you? You can't even communicate with each other respectfully, you can't even live up to the dream of our Constitution, "We the People," you got to call people names.
He tied in Limbaugh as he continued:
I find that the most despicable, disgusting piece of journalism I've ever seen. And, you know, I don't know if there's an apology that's great enough because I do have three daughters. And, though I may say things about people I don't like because of this political stance or that political stance, I'm never going after a person's soul. That was somebody's child. How dare you?
After host Piers Morgan asked, "You mean the Rush Limbaugh [controversy]?" Williams responded, "Yeah."
In the next segment, Morgan called out Williams's hypocrisy by bringing up his harsh words about Bachmann from September 2011, leading williams's unconvincing claim that his words were not as bad as Limbaugh's and that shining a light on his own words "is absolutely really part of the problem."
He first tried to rationalize his words by asserting that they were spoken "jokingly." Williams:
I don't know why the media decided to deflect Rush Limbaugh's comment and put something I said two and a half years ago on Air America in this context, but let's play it out. Ms. Bachmann said in some speech - and I don't have the exact words - but we should all slit our wrists and form a blood covenant. Those were her words.
And I was jokingly in the morning of my Air America show. When she said that, I played that piece, but, like I said, well, heck, if you're going to do that, just move it up about a foot and a half. What, how stupid is this? Now, I didn't say how stupid it is, we're going to slit our wrists because we want to help people and be compassionate.
He continued:
Now, somehow, that's been equated to what Rush Limbaugh had to say. Which to me is absolutely really part of the problem here because the network that did that is a network that doesn't understand what news is and doesn't understand how to make a report because if you can try to find an analogy between those to, I don't know where you're at.

The coins were pulled from the shelves after widespread complaints.

How Convenient, Trying To Rewrite History...
Submitted by TheReal7Sticks on Sun, 03/11/2012 - 5:49pm.
Very convenient of you to be re-writing history by changing the definition of "slit" to "decapitation." As I recall, I heard the sound bite of Bachmann exclaiming that "I'd slit my wrist before I support Obamacare" and I did not for once think she was implying decapitation. To me, it says more about your warped and twisted view of the world than it does about the truth. You may claim to expose lies, but it does you a disservice to invent new lies in place of the old ones.

First of all, it is nice of you to acknowledge that you faithfully read my activist screeds against the Catholic Church, although I had explained in a previous post several months ago that I apologized for the screed that got me banned in the first place, since, apparently, referring to Mother Teresa as a fraud would get you banned here (Not that it ever bothered the late, great Christopher Hitchens in the very least, but eventually the threat of radical Islam began to supersede his other anti-religious views, as it should because it is far more dangerous than can possibly be imagined.) As I said in that apology, the point I was trying to make when committing my bigotry was to show you how ridiculous the preconceived notions of anti-Christian bigotry are in all these other arenas I keep seeing. In other words, I was creating a catalyst to show you what real anti-Christian bigotry was. Did I really believe, in my heart, even half the things I was saying? No, because what I love more than anything is to manipulate people. I am a misanthrope, meaning I loathe humanity in general. But when I see humanity acting with such stupidity, I have somehow gained a new perception in trying to better humanity through manipulation. If it's for the greater good of humanity, then yes, I shall be guilty of that, and I will not apologize for that.
As for the "retard" comment, allow me to be a bit pretentious in saying "Would someone with an IQ of 152 be retarded?"

If you indeed studied Christianity, you must be aware that God gave us all free will. This must be why you "loathe" humanity. Your anger and frustration is probably due to the fact that YOU are now "burdened" with the chore of "manipulation" to redirect our thinking to yours. It must be ever so difficult when the lowest of humanity do not immediately recognize nor accept your imperial intellect and guidance.
By educating lowly humans of your IQ and your messianic purpose in life, the term meglomania comes to mind. Some would say "the Napoleon Complex" but since I have no "visual" context, that one may be inaccurate. We will just leave a diagnosis for our resident genius and that is drsamherman.

Alabama Marine Police Officer John Williams, a member of the task force, demonstrated the new submersible camera equipment Friday afternoon at the Smith Lake Dam boat launch.
Williams said the VideoRay Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV) is extremely versatile, portable and will be a reliable solution for underwater operations, such as the search and recovery operations performed by the Smith Lake Task Force, as well as other unique applications in underwater environments.
"The VideoRay's "plug and play" technology will allow us to quickly attach the sensors and accessories in the field so we can successfully complete our mission," Williams said. "It can be moved in all directions, which will be an asset for us. It's very lightweight, and we're going to be able to maneuver it 360 degrees."
Williams said once task force team members become more proficient in the use of the camera, they will hopefully be able to cover more ground than they have in the past with equipment currently being used.
"We can run the submarine off an inverted power supply as well as a generator, so this will allow us to use it in other areas where we might have to conduct an underwater search, such as in a pond or small creek," Williams said. "It might not work in every situation, but we feel like it will work in a lot of situations and it will help speed up the search and recovery process of a body or object that we're searching for."
For the past 12 years, the members of the task force's Search and Recovery Team have been using three special underwater cameras which dropped over the side of the SLTF Search Boat during a search for a drowning victim on Smith Lake and other waterways in and around Walker, Winston and Cullman counties.
The Smith Lake Task Force was formed with cooperation from the Walker, Winston and Cullman county sheriff's departments and the three county's Emergency Management Agencies, the Alabama Marine Police and members of the Mike Beasley family.
The task force began purchasing underwater cameras and a boat to run the cameras from to search for drowning victims on Smith Lake following the search and recovery of the body of Duskin Point Marina owner Mike Beasley, when he died in a boating accident in May 2001.
The Smith Lake Task Force is a non-profit organization which operates solely from donations it receives from individuals, businesses and organizations, such as the Mike Beasley Memorial Foundation and Walker Area Community Foundation.
