Transcript of web chat with Coonelly
Team president fields questions about the Pirates from fans
patsyrollo: Hi Frank. Do you think there will be a time, +/-10years, that player contracts won't be 100 percent guaranteed? Thanks for hosting the monthly web chats.
Coonelly: Patsyrollo, you're welcome. Thanks for joining. It is hard to predict if guaranteed contracts will dissipate. However, there are ways that clubs can protect themselves, including relying on club option years as part of the contract package and requiring that a player earn a portion of his compensation through performance bonuses.
no_smoking: Can you tell us more about the new "Green Team" that will be helping the environment by collecting and recycling bottles in PNC Park?
Coonelly: The Green Team is a special group of employees who will collect any recyclable bottles that are left in the seat locations following the game prior to the time when the normal cleaning sweep takes place.
scruffduff: Hiya Frank! I noticed Kip Wells having a nice game the other night. If you had to pick one former Pirates starter from the last eight years to return for a spot-start for the Bucs in the 2008 playoffs, whom would you select?
Coonelly: If healthy, that would have to be Jason Schmidt.
dgmoskos: I was encouraged that Ryan Doumit found his way into the lineup on Opening Day. Does this suggest that the Pirates are addressing their inability to score over the past decade or so by starting a lineup that might be able to produce more?
Coonelly: We are certainly making real efforts to increase our ability to get on base and to score runs. Don Long, our new hitting coach, has been preaching discipline and patience at the plate, and I think you saw the early returns on that philosophy in Monday's game when Tom Glavine was removed after five innings and 97 pitches. With respect to Doumit, he is a dangerous hitter from both sides of the plate who has worked extraordinarily hard this offseason and Spring Training, and he has earned an opportunity to be an integral part of our offense.
iansmuth: Frank, will the Pirates be taking the best player available in the Draft now even if it could be hard to sign him?
Coonelly: iansmuth, this is a question that I am asked at virtually every stop. As I have repeatedly stated, we will select the best player available who we believe we can sign, and we will do so even if it may be difficult to sign the player. We need to add premier talent to our system and Greg Smith, our new scouting director, has been given that direction not only in the first round, but in each of the 49 rounds that follow.
xcutters: If the top 25 players come north to Pittsburgh, why is Steve Pearce then in Triple-A? Why would Pearce need more seasoning in Triple-A?
Coonelly: xcutters, we are very excited about Pearce and believe that he will play a large role in our success in the very near future. As you know, Steve has been moved from first base to right field. This is not an easy transition, but one that we are confident that Steve can make as he begins the 2008 season in Indianapolis.
butterjc81: On Monday night the Pirates lineup ran over the Braves bullpen like a massengale tanker track plowing through a picket fence just off Interstate-10. How much of this can be attributed to the atmospheric change the Pirates franchise experienced in the offseason?
Coonelly: butterjc81, I am not sure I fully grasp your analogy, but I'm sure our hitters would appreciate it. As you know, I do believe that the instruction and leadership that the players are receiving from manager John Russell and his staff matter, and I expect the Bucs to be more disciplined and productive at the plate, and as a result, score more runs.
flabucs: Hi Frank, ownership has stated that we will go out and get pieces if we are competitive this year. Assuming that we would be somewhat competitive, when would you start considering us not on a down streak, but actually at a point where adding a piece or two could make us a legit contender?
Coonelly: flabucs, that is a very good question. There is no magic date on which we would look to make additions to strengthen our lineup. Much of that will be decided based on the performance of individual players on the current 25-man roster, the performance of players at Indianapolis and Altoona and the talent available from other Major League clubs.
serie_23: What are you planning on doing differently in Latin America after the completion of the new academy in the Dominican Republic?
Coonelly: serie_23, we are planning to be far more aggressive in terms of scouting and signing players in the Dominican Republic as well as Venezuela and other international markets. We will not wait until the academy is completed, however, as that process has already begun. The new academy in the D.R. has already raised the Pirates profile in that country and should provide us with a competitive advantage as we attempt to sign premier talent in the international markets.
kirkmlb: Since taking over as club president, what has been your biggest challenge to date?
Coonelly: kirkmlb, excellent question as well. While the organization faces many challenges, the one that I would identify as the most important at this point is changing the perception of our fans with respect to our ability to compete. For far too long, Pirates fans have been told that the Bucs cannot compete under the current economic system. I disagree strongly. We can and will win under the current rules, and it is my job to convince our fans that this is very doable.
kirkmlb: While at Spring Training, which young player(s) impressed you the most?
Coonelly: Several of our young players impressed me during Spring Training. I would agree with the majority of the players polled by the Post-Gazette, who believe that Nate McLouth is poised for a breakout season. Also encouraging were the performances of Paul Maholm and Zach Duke, both of whom worked extremely hard during the offseason to put themselves in a position to succeed.
cbh1: Frank, do you feel that the revenue-sharing policy currently in place is really helping small-market teams like the Pirates? Also is there any rule within that agreement that requires the teams receiving the revenue to spend it solely on the on-field production?
Coonelly: cbh1, there is no question that the revenue sharing system in MLB provides significant assistance to clubs such as the Pirates. The revenue-sharing payments to clubs like ours has grown considerably since the inception of the program in 1997. There is a provision in the collective bargaining agreement that requires clubs to use revenue-sharing proceeds to improve their club's on-field performance. This is an intentionally broad standard reflecting the realization that improved performance on the field comes not only from investment in Major League payroll, but also from investments in academies such as we're building in the Dominican Republic, Minor League players and various other investments that will improve a club's performance.
todd_meche: Can you elaborate on the Yates/Redmond trade a bit. I don't know much about either party, but Yates throws really, really hard. Thanks in advance.
Coonelly: todd_meche, Tyler Yates is a hard-throwing right-hander who gives Russell a very strong option late in games. Fortunately for us, Yates was the odd man out in the Atlanta bullpen and we were able to bolster our bullpen by making the trade. Todd Redmond is a starting pitcher who we liked but saw as, at best, a fifth starter in the Major Leagues.
schnoah2: With Evan Meek never pitching above Double-A, will the Pirates spoon feed him into easier situations or will it be trial by fire for him?
Coonelly: As Russell has said, we will need Meek to be a productive member of our bullpen. Russell may look for less pressure-filled moments other than those that we had late in the game on Monday to get Meek his first Major League experience, but I expect him to be pitching in difficult situations throughout this season. Like Yates, Meek gives us another power arm in the bullpen, a commodity we have lacked in the past.
rjr7653: If McLouth is the Pirate with the best chance of having a breakout season, how do you see the development of Nyjer Morgan? Do you think it will be hindered by not being in the lineup every day?
Coonelly: rjr7653, we were very encouraged by Morgan's work during the spring as well, and that is why he made the 25-man roster. Morgan can provide quality at-bats as a pinch-hitter as he did on Monday night, but he will also give Russell the ability to spell Bay and Nady on occasion. In those games, we will have less power in the lineup, but will have the addition of Morgan's speed to go along with McLouth's speed and power at the top of the order. This will give us a different look and a different way to score runs.
todd_meche: Did you have a problem with Ronny Paulino voting for himself on a variety of things (breakout season, MVP, etc.) during the Pirates preseason voting?
Coonelly: I have no problem with Paulino voting for himself for a number of those categories. It shows me that he is confident in his abilities and is committed to helping the Pirates win. We expect Paulino will play a large role in our success this year, both at the plate and behind the plate.
buddysqrl: I'm sure you've received a lot of feedback (good and bad) regarding the roster moves you have made. I, for one, want to compliment you on putting together a solid team. Last year's team was so close to being in the hunt.
Coonelly: buddysqrl, thank you for the kind words. Like you, I believe that this team is stronger than it was last year and, in particular, the addition of Doug Mientkiewicz, Luis Rivas and Chris Gomez make our bench much stronger than it was last year.
Thank you all for participating in this second chat session. It is encouraging to see the passion and pride that you have for the Pirates, and we look forward to returning that same passion and pride to each of you throughout the season.

Radiological Services
Peconic Bay Medical Center is in the forefront of technology in the area of radiological services. Services and capabilities include:
- Digital Mammography
- CAT Scans
- 64-slice CT Scanner
- Siemens 1.0T MRI
- Angiography and Interventional Radiology
- Procedures can be accessed online by physicians, providing patients with faster, more effective care
- The Peconic Bay School of Radiologic Technology trains the next generation of radiology experts for our region
- For more information, call 631-548-6172
Computed Radiography
Computed radiography enables x-ray and CAT (Computed Axial Tomography) scan images to be obtained digitally, without the use of film. These digital images provide exquisite detail and allow for improved, more accurate diagnoses. Computed radiography decreases patient waiting time since the physicians will have almost instantaneous access to images — there is no film to process. Furthermore, the technology limits patients x-ray exposure to the absolute minimum.
Most important, patients have the security of knowing that PBMC physicians can access radiological images via computer from their home or office — or from anywhere in the world where there is Internet access — via the Hospital's secure website. Within minutes of taking a digital x-ray, the emergency room staff can, for example, consult with an orthopedist at home, who can order treatment to begin immediately, even before he or she gets to the hospital.
Angiography/Interventional Radiology
Peconic Bay Medical Center's recently renovated angiography suite contains state-of-the-art equipment to diagnose and treat diseases of the arteries and many other conditions. Angiography is part of a larger subspecialty of radiology called interventional radiology.
Interventional radiologists use angiography to visualize the inside of blood vessels. Interventional radiologists also perform a wide variety of other "non-vascular" procedures. For example, in the case of an infected kidney, a small catheter can be inserted to drain the infection and avoid surgery. To control internal bleeding, an interventional radiologist will use a catheter to locate the site of hemorrhage, and then treat it through a small incision in the groin.
Interventional radiology is on the forefront of medical innovation and has pioneered many minimally invasive procedures that improve patient health and quality of care.
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)
Magnetic resonance imaging is a painless technology that offers a detailed view inside the body. Using a large magnet, radio waves, and a computer, it can produce two-or three-dimensional images without using X-rays. In many instances, MRI has become the standard for imaging the brain, spine, and musculoskeletal system.
Peconic Bay Medical Center utilizes a Siemens Mid-field 1.0T magnet to perform its MRI services, which produces excellent clinical images of all body parts, especially neurological and musculoskeletal anatomy, in a very efficient time frame. It also provides excellent imaging of the cerebral and carotid blood vessels through its Angiography (MRA) capabilities.
Digital Mammography and Sonography
Peconic Bay Medical Center offer a range of other radiological procedures, including Digital Mammography, sonograms, and bone densitometry in a comfortable and private dedicated mammography area.
Peconic Bay School of Radiologic Technology
A 24-month program accredited by the Joint Review Committee on Education in Radiologic Technology (JRCERT) and licensed by the New York State Department of Health, Peconic Bay's School of Radiologic Technology provides expert training for our region's next generation of radiologic technicians, and also assures that our current providers are always up-to-date on the latest advances in professional practice and technology.

The Cowboys dropped to 0-2 with a series of offensive mistakes on Sunday, falling to the Bears. Right now, panic appears to be setting in around the team, although the players and coaches have not used language beyond the word "frustration." The Cowboys face a crucial game Sunday against the 2-0 Texans, as an 0-3 start could put the playoffs out of reach.
The PFW spin
The numbers suggested that the Cowboys had a strong offensive game against the Bears: 410 yards, 374 passing, 71 plays run to the Bears' 49. Typically, when a team runs 22 more plays than its opponent, it wins. But only 20 of those plays were runs, and five runs went for lost yardage in a 36-yard output on the ground.
One reason why offensive coordinator Jason Garrett has completely skewed the game to the air is because he can't trust his rushing attack. The Cowboys have called 100 pass plays to only 42 runs in the two losses. The backs are not seeing daylight, and they are not able to break tackles after initial contact. The line hasn't done its job, even after ORT Marc Colombo and OLG Kyle Kosier returned to the lineup on Sunday.
Up next: The Texans, who have allowed the most passing yards in the NFL through two games but also the second-fewest rushing yards. And that means it will be tough for Garrett to justify spending this week honing in on the run game, when on paper it appears to be a poor matchup.
The Cowboys have to throw it more this week, but they can get their running backs involved in the screen game more, which would be an effective change of pace now that play-action has, for all intents and purposes, been eliminated from the playbook.
Miles Austin has been outstanding early. Dez Bryant has shown flashes, though he's not fully up to speed with timing and play mastery. Jason Witten is the old reliable. QB Tony Romo isn't free from blame, but both of his interceptions went off receivers' hands. He's being asked to do a lot, and for the most part he's delivering.
Right now the weaknesses in the passing game are the pass protection, the lack of balance and the inability to finish drives. Two interceptions, a fumble and a missed field goal left somewhere between 10 and 17 points on the field potentially.
The Cowboys can fix things. They have the weapons. The line has proven itself previously. Garrett was a dangerous play-caller last season and previously at times. Bryant only should get better. But there are enough concerns, centered around the ground game, that make these tense times in Dallas.

Every angle covered at the Baftas
12:29am Monday 4th February 2013 in National Entertainment News © Press Association 2014
Stars attending the Baftas will have to make sure every angle is their best this year - as 360-degree cameras will be streaming an inside view of the red carpet live.
Fans can tune in on Facebook and on their smartphones to virtually rub shoulders with the likes of Bradley Cooper and Jessica Chastain thanks to the EE Baftas 360 degree Red Carpet Show on Sunday February 10.
The four interactive cameras along the red carpet will enable the public to scrutinise outfits and enjoy a close-up, personal view of their favourite film stars.
Wardrobe malfunctions, with skimpy or unforgiving outfits, will be impossible to hide from the panoramic view.
I'm A Celebrity ... Get Me Out Of Here Now! presenter Laura Whitmore will be hosting 360-degree interviews for EE with the celebrity guests live from the red carpet.
The MTV presenter said: "Although you think 'Oh God!' Now you have to make sure you're okay from every angle, it's really great for the people at home to feel like they're there and be part of it.
"In real life, you can see every angle. This technology blows my mind - with your iPad or your computer you can move it around and it's like being there."
Viewers will be able to watch the live streamed show and highlights package at facebook.com/EE or via the EE Film app on Apple and Android handsets.
Twitter users will also be able to suggest questions for Whitmore to put to the stars by tweeting @thewhitmore using the #EEBaftas hashtag.
The EE British Academy Film Awards are staged at The Royal Opera House in London's Covent Garden on February 10, with live red carpet streaming from 5pm to 7pm.

Although SYNOP is a very common name, which is used in many domains, it describes perfectly the software's functionality.
The drawing of a satellite "profile" takes 22 seconds to complete.
The new predict 2.1.5 offers better performance...
Waiting for the "expose event" to come may be dependent of the machine's load, should this happen I'll add an option.
A wait is invoked between each call to the PREDICT server, in case of problems, another solution will be implemented.
This wait is no more needed with PREDICT 2.1.5.
The window is 720 pixels wide to display a 2 minutes interval per pixel.
The first satellite uses a height of 90 pixels, the following satellites each add 45 pixels to the window height.
This means 12 satellites can be displayed with a 800*600 screen resolution.
Compressed view contains all the 24 satellites.

Dangerous Dave in the Haunted Mansion
You're a one-of-a-kind dangerous guy named Dave. Born and raised in the hill country of Backwater, USA, you're quite deft with the shotgun, and afraid of nothing. Then again, you haven't been in the haunted mansion up on the hill. As you hunt for your lost little brother, Delbert, you must enter a house full of zombies, spooks, and bad guys and turn them into hamburger meat, before they make a meal out of you in Dangerous Dave in the Haunted Mansion!
Dangerous Dave's Risky Rescue
Unfortunately for our hero, his little brother is afflicted with "always getting kidnapped" syndrome. Dangerous Dave must battle wolves, mummies, ghosts, and other ghastly apparitions on his way to save Delbert from the clutches of the evil Dr. Nemesis. With 11 levels of spine-tingling platforming action, you'll be shooting up a storm in Dangerous Dave's Risky Rescue!
Dave Goez Nutz!
Life is difficult enough without having Dr. Nemesis as your arch-villain. Why does he have to pick on Dave's little brother, Delbert, so much? Not only does he snatch the already kidnapping-prone Delbert, but he hides him away deep in the bowel of an insane asylum! Crazy nurses wearing purple of all colors wander the halls, cleaver wielding orderlies, and jolts of electricity all stand in Dangerous Dave's way in Dave Goez Nutz!

This is classic platforming action from id's Golden Era. They run on the same engines as the Commander Keen games, and are graphically just as colourful and nice to look at.
John Romero had already proven his skills as a level designer, and particularly Haunted Mansion will keep you thinking. There is definitely a lot of trial and error needed to progress in this game, so if thatread more kind of progress is frustrating to you, you probably won't have that good a time with it. The game, like the two other titles, is quite short, but that is made up for through constant progress and a very consistent style. You will inch your way forward, and enjoy every inch you progress.
The two later, graphically improved titles are much more conventional DOS platforming fare, in that you are more concerned with running, jumping and evading enemies rather than solving environmental puzzles. For that reason, they were considered quite inferior back in the day. I'd say they are simply different. They're definitely a lot easier to finish than Haunted Mansion, but because of their funny enemies and little jokes, you'll have a good time nonetheless. You'll also meet an old friend, or rather fiend, from id's Catacomb series.
I am a bit disappointed that the first title in the series, Dangerous Dave in the Deserted Pirate's Hideout, is not included. It fits into the scheme of the series in that it is even more about puzzles and careful strategies than Haunted Mansion. Speaking for level design alone. It would have made a nice addition to this pack. The other thing that bothers me is that my eyes are not as used to the jumpy scrolling as they used to...
Nonetheless, this compilation gives you good value for your money. Haunted Mansion has a lot of replay value and is a tough nut to crack, and its two sequels are short but fun timekillers with a truckload of colourful graphics each.

To think this all started from a tech demo featuring SMB3-type smooth scrolling (see 'Dangerous Dave in Copyright Infrigement; see also 'Shadow Knights'). Preceding iD's Commander Keen series was this scattergun-toting redneck, Dangerous Dave, in a variety of improbable, yet cliche, situations.
The rules are simple: Shoot everything that moves, collect goodies, and don't get killed.read more Of course, the folks at Softdisk (under the Gamer's Edge label, a mail-order service predating GameFly) made sure that dying was a pleasurable experience, and threw in a little 'close-up' window that would pop up with an animation of Dave being killed by whatever struck him.
The sounds are in glorious, digitized PC Speaker, the colours are in a vibrant EGA, and the levels are classic 'Get to the Exit point' layouts.
New players may find the levels a mite repetitive, and would have fun for the first hour or so (there aren't any save points to speak of, so you'll have to play the whole thing through in one session), but older players who still enjoy the original Super Mario Bros. will definitely want to invest in this trilogy. For the former, I would suggest that you try out the first episode of Commander Keen: Invasion of the Vorticons. If you enjoy it, and think you would have fun playing this sort of thing for hours on end, then you'll have fun with Dangerous Dave.

this trilogy of games is continued from John Romero's platformer series for the Apple ][ computer. The series here is built using the Commander Keen 3.5 engine made with the same code as keen dreams. The first game was made by ID after they split from softdisk under contract. it basically combines the keen game play with the gore id would later be famous for. you play Dave an redneckread more with an shotgun and you gun down zombies and other demonic creatures. the first game has regenerating ammo when you stop in an safe place you reload your gun. the softdisk episodes you have to pick up shells. if you like id's other games you will find this game interesting.

My sympathies are, initially, with the poor driver of the train.

A man imprisoned in Israel without a trial brings shame to the country, said MK Jamal Zahalka (Balad), Israel Radio reported Sunday.
Such behavior, Zahalka said, is characteristic of primitive countries. His comments came after he visited Palestinian prisoner Khader Adnan, who has been on a hunger strike for 64 days. Adnan, currently in Ziv hospital in Safed, is demanding to either be put on trial or be released, otherwise he will continue his hunger strike.
Adnan, a 33-year-old father of two from Arrabe, near Jenin, was arrested in his home on December 17, but has yet to be charged. There have been media reports that Adnan belonged to Islamic Jihad, but the Shin Bet (Israel Security Service) and the IDF have not confirmed that. The IDF said in a statement that Adnan was arrested "for activities that threaten regional security." It has not given further details.
Physicians for Human Rights - Israel has warned that it is not possible for Adnan to survive a hunger strike of more than 70 days.
Catherine Ashton, the EU's foreign policy chief, on Saturday called on Israel to "preserve" the health of the Palestinian prisoner Khader.
The High Court of Justice has agreed to hear a petition on his behalf, but as of press time, it was not known when that hearing would take place.
Ashton's office said she was "following with great concern reports about the deteriorating health condition of Khader Adnan." Her office added that the policy chief and the EU had long been concerned about Israel's policy of administrative detention, in which Palestinians were held without formal charges being brought against them.
"Detainees have the right to be informed about the charges underlying any detention and be subject to a fair trial," her office said.
Tovah Lazaroff contributed to this report.

After eliminating the Bulldogs from the playoffs last season, Addison had revenge on its mind Friday.
The Berry Wildcats didn't seem to care as they swept through Addison, stealing a 28-8 victory to eliminate the Bulldogs from the playoffs.
Addison had no answer for Berry's Terrance "Tank" Hollingsworth, who racked up over 250 all purpose yards to lead Berry to the victory in the first round of the playoffs.
"I hate for it to end," Addison coach David Smothers said after the game. "They just made more big plays than us and a few mistakes on our part really hurt. You can't make mistakes against a good team like that."
Early in the game, the Addison coaching staff had plenty of reasons to feel confident. On the game's opening drive the Addison defense was able to force a turnover on downs at their own 41-yard line. The offense drove deep into Wildcat territory when Hollingsworth struck for the first time, intercepting a John Everett pass and returning it over 70 yards for the score. A quick pass from Maken Potter to JC Finch to convert the two-point attempt gave Berry an 8-0 lead with 6:03 remaining in the first quarter.
The Bulldogs were able to answer, forcing another turn over on downs off a huge quarterback sack by Briley Chandler. Dropping Potter for the loss helped turn the momentum back to Addison's favor.
They would ride that wave into the end zone.
The touchdown came on a 5-yard run by Jake Woods with just 1:42 left in the first half. The score capped a 16-play, 89-yard drive that ate up much of the second quarter. The two-point conversion tied the game 8-8.
Then began the big plays and Addison's mistakes.
On a 4th-and-9 with only 16 seconds remaining in the half, Potter connected with Weston Bonner for a 36-yard gain, setting up an improbable first and goal.
"That was a huge play," Coach Smothers said. "We had him double covered and our guy even tipped the ball, but he still made the catch."
The spectacular diving catch off the deflection was the turning point in the game. After a timeout, Potter found Hollingsworth for his second score to take a 14-8 lead. Hollingsworth then added the two-point conversion for a 16-8 Berry lead at halftime.
Halftime is always a chance for a turnaround and Addison did everything in their power to take advantage of that fact. The opening drive of the second half was taken by the Bulldogs into Berry territory, but then the mistakes began. Two quick penalties backed up the offense and forced them to punt.
Berry took the ball and did not look back.
The ensuing drive was a 16-play, 76-yard masterpiece that included two fourth-down conversions. Potter scored the touchdown on a quarterback sneak from just over a yard away to cap the drive and give Berry a 22-8 lead.
But the Wildcats (7-4) weren't through yet. On their first possession of the fourth quarter Hollingsworth struck again. This time Hollingsworth scored on a spectacular 77-yard touchdown run. The touchdown run effectively ended the game, sealing the final score in at 28-8.
The Bulldogs were led offensively by Wade who had 47 yards on nine carries with one touchdown. Seth Robinson also added 45 yard on 13 carries for Addison.
Everett was 6 for 11 passing for the Bulldogs for 120 yards, but was sacked five times in addition to giving up the pick six.
Berry was led into the second round of the playoffs behind 25 carries for 166 yards and one touchdown on the ground by Hollingsworth. He also had four receptions for 20 yards and a touchdown. Potter added 23 yards rushing and a touchdown. He was also 11 for 14 passing for 142 yards and another touchdown.
Addison concludes their first season under David Smothers with an 8-3 record, while Berry will advance to the second round of the state playoffs.

A Colorado woman was impaled by a light pole after she crashed because she was texting and driving.
LOUISVILLE, KY (WAVE) - A few blocks from a vast, snowy landscape poised for development sits West Grocery and Liquor Store - where owner Gabriela Baryu worries about competition impossible to compete against in West Louisville.
"My business is going to be down because this is a small convenient store and I don't have everything like Walmart," Baryu said.
Baryu isn't sure her store at 10th Street and Broadway would be able to survive if a major retailer moves into the vacant lot where Phillip Morris shut down its site in 1999.
City leaders confirm they're in talks with a retailer to develop the property along West Broadway. Neighbors need a place to purchase groceries yet some neighborhood leaders are against the still unannounced project.
Some areas in West Louisville have been labeled a food desert - known as an urban area where its difficult to buy affordable, fresh food.
However, protestors recently rallied against the possibility of a Walmart coming to 18th Street and Broadway.
Groups like Kentucky Jobs with Justice continue working with neighborhood leaders to find a vision for this eyesore and better wages in West Louisville.
"That's an immediate benefit. You're putting more purchasing power in the pockets of people who would be working there. who can then make a little more of a healthier decision in a food desert," Executive Director Bonifacio Aleman said.
Walmart Director of Communications Anne Hatfield released the following statement, "While we are always looking for ways to serve our customers, we have no news to announce in West Louisville at this time.

lol, scallywag, ask the Mrs if being a woman is a lifestyle. Ask her, too, if being a woman is ridiculous and if she should be subject to publicly being mocked for being a woman. See what kind of answers you get.
Trans women, if you accept it or not, are women. The fact that they may have been erroneously assigned male at birth and then transitioned from male to female obviously offends you. This is evidence of your misogyny as well as your transphobia, not to mention your ignorance about the subject.
If I have trouble reading your posts it's because of your atrocious spelling and poor grammar, not their intellectual content. You should go back to your high school English teacher and ask them why they failed so miserably with you.

I'll choose to not argue with you as your lifestyle speaks volumes of your thaught process. I'll live my life and you lead yours. I won't ask you to accept my lifestyle as I won't accept yours. I think of the torture and term oil you must experience to subject yourself to public redicul. Actually I feel sorry for you for this to be the ongoing subject of your life. Sorry nobody said life was fair. As far as reporting my posts show me one sentence that is reportable. Not by you but by the general population

I say your excuse is unacceptable, you say =I+= am unacceptable to you. I criticize your excuse, you go after me personally. Apparently my existence offends you. Tough.
Your post is nearly unreadable but I think you are telling me not to make a "spectacle" of myself so my demons can be defeated? Your ignorance, combined with your willingness to publicly illustrate it, is mind boggling! Get a clue before you make a bigger fool of yourself.
Your write, "I'd love to have down right dirty sex. Ya know pig sex with my neighbors wife. She's smoking hot." So you compare your immoral desire to violate your marriage vows to being transsexual? What moral tenets do transsexual people violate when they affirm their true selves? Your comparison is cr*p.
Your vile prejudice and animosity is on plain view here, scallywag. That's why I haven't reported your disgusting posts, so people can see what kind of mind and attitudes you hold.

Emely you are unexceptable to me. It's ok for you to have your point but my opinion is unacceptable. Perfect example of the left. Try this.

I don't act on my impulses or would even consider such a thing because it's wrong. Not just wrong socially but unacceptable morally. Stop making a fool of yourself and so will others

No, Scallywag, your excuse is unacceptable. You wrote that post, not your "friend." You thought it was worth repeating, no one else.
I don't care if trans people make you uncomfortable. I don't care if you think they are icky but when you choose to write such abusively dehumanizing trash about another human being you have stepped over the line of simple common decency.
Trans people are human beings, more like you than they are different, and they deserve the same respect and dignity that you expect others to give you.

"I also wonder what in the Deity's name, this horrendously abusive and hateful posting had to do with Mr Reeder's letter?"
If you haven't noticed, Scallywag's whole purpose on here is to attempt to create false relations with the articles. He had to stretch that one - pretending that he actually gets out of the house, continuing to pretend he owns a business...not to mention the pointlessness of the whole thing. In the near future, run a test on that. Every article that Scallywag contributes to you'll find him making an analogy to a fictional business.

Not too lazy to inundate this forum with trash though. We know that much. FedUP is the same way. They create nonsense and hope that people are as lazy as they are. It's fun calling them out because they *poof!* onto the next one.

Emelye, it is difficult for them to see anything positive about same-sex marriage because they are bigots and their hatred overshadows their rationality. Scalleywag is a good example, dehumanizing a transgendered person for his own sick amusement by calling her an "it". Maddog, the reason people want to see reliable statistics is that people make up their own "facts" like Seadog just did. Then he asks others to find the statistics to prove it because he is too lazy. It's easier just to make it up.

For all those whose active thought processes end at the mere mention of same sex couples, let's look at some common sense. Weddings are big parties. Sometimes they are very big. Putting on a party costs money, money that is usually spent in local shops in order to buy perishable items: food, flowers, beverages, etc. ANY increase in the number of wedding ANYWHERE will increase sales and business tax revenues for the local governments, along with increasing the sales of the local suppliers.
It just requires a modicum of rational thought to come to this conclusion. Why is it so difficult for some people to realize this?

"We hired it last week shaking his head and laughing. He explained it got the crap beat out of him on the way home in the first week."
How disgusting! Dehumanizing someone like that, calling them, "it" is truly reprehensible and then laughing about them being criminally assaulted adds egregious insult to their injury. To top things off, why was that person going to the men's room anyway? Were they being forced to by their employer? That would be a violation of NYC law. Shame on them!
I also wonder what in the Deity's name, this horrendously abusive and hateful posting had to do with Mr Reeder's letter?
This kind of animosity and hate should be condemned by everyone.

Actually Seadog, that would still be incorrect. It is 25% of ALL same sex households...not just those in which marriage has occurred. I have not found those numbers yet.

Lucky, I guess Gemni5 answered your question for me. So, I guess I would change my post to: the 75% of gays that are married, don't have children, so they don't spend money on them. Is that better?

Its nice to have facts to back up your opinion. It shows how you developed that opinion, especially if you are arguing something. WIthout them your argument is your opinion only, which you are entitled to but can't be taking seriously in the argument youre engaged in.

For all those interested, 50% of the posts here dealt with posting statistics or inquiring about them. Just thought I should back up my opinion with "facts".

Here's a question. Why is everyone so insistent on requiring comments to be backed up by facts? After all, this is the OPINION section! No one here is writing a peer reviewed article on the matter. This is just a forum to comment your opinion based on someone else's.

Aren't you not suppose to have kids at the time you get married? Isn't that suppose to come after? I don't really have an opinion (do what you want to do) but I know others do. What does having kids have to do with spending money on a wedding?

Seadog, "most gays that are married, don't have children". Is this your opinion or do you have statistics proving this to be true ??

In post-Communist Russia, Moscow was a city in transition, enjoying capitalism to the tune of a raucous nightlife.
Now, the New York Times reports that while there's still plenty of nightlife to be found in the city, Moscow is undergoing a second shift to a subtler and more sophisticated atmosphere.
The recently-renovated Krasny Oktyabr chocolate factory is a prime example of this shift in attitude. While this shut-down industrial complex might have previously been turned into a series of nightclubs, the old factory has now become a collection of art galleries, cafes and lecture halls.There are also plenty of public spaces for travelers to check out. Visitors might be interested in a history lesson while viewing the Kremlin and St. Basil's cathedral in Red Square. In the winter time, the ice rink in this area is one of the most popular attractions in the city.
Of course, there are still plenty of clubs and restaurants for travelers to frequent at night. Many of the more popular clubs are housed in old factories, like Gazgolder and Discoteque.
As Moscow becomes more of a popular tourist destination, more airports are adding nonstop flights. Recent introductions include New York, Atlanta and Chicago.

Babcock Hall
Babcock Hall (1935), the gift of Birt E. Babcock, of the class of 1894, is a co-educational program building. Recently renovated, Babcock Hall re-opened in the fall of 2009 and is the home of the Cross Cultural Living Experiences Program (CCLEP). Residents include students who have expressed their desire for a cross-cultural living experience. Residents should be interested in broadening their understanding of world issues, sharing their culture; and learning about other cultures. Many residents are interested in foreign languages, cultural area studies, overseas study and travel, and various aspects of international relations.
The program is strengthened by the expectation that its residents actively participate in the organization and implementation of cross-cultural programming. Such an environment serves to further enhance the building of an inter-culture community. Programming includes regular hall meetings with student speakers and cultural activities; celebrations of holidays from around the world; and discussions of international issues led by faculty and distinguished campus visitors.

ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) - A Florida man has been named the new superintendent for Alaska's largest school district.
Board President Gretchen Guess announced Tuesday that Jim Browder will lead Anchorage Public Schools.
Browder, formerly the head of the Lee County School District in Fort Myers, Fla., and Steve Atwater, the superintendent of the Kenai Peninsula Borough School District in Kenai, Alaska, were the two finalists from a field of 150 applicants.
Both men took part in three-day visits to Anchorage earlier this month.
Superintendent Carol Comeau earlier announced she will step down June 30 from the high-profile post she has held since 2000.

On the Panthers blog, I posted what I thought the final depth chart and practice squad of the Carolina Panthers would look like, and I had him on the practice squad. If I'm the closest in guessing the depth chart and practice squad, I get a virtual internet cookie. I could just wait 'til final cuts to see for myself, but I'm impatient.

When we think about the health of frail older adults, severe, high-profile illnesses such as dementia, heart disease, cancer, and debilitating arthritis come to mind. But for many seniors, small things can turn a manageable chronic condition into an acute medical crisis.
One is malnutrition. Spend a little time in a hospital emergency department and you'll be shocked at how many frail elderly patients arrive malnourished. A new study reports that one of every six older adults living at home reaches a hospital ER weakened by malnutrition and as many as 6 in 10 are at least at risk for the condition.

Kitesurfers have fun come hail and high water
Updated 10:18am Tuesday 11th February 2014 in News
KITESURFERS lapped up the windy weather as stormy conditions continued in south Essex.
Kitesurfers revelled in the strong gusts off Shoebury seafront as the sun shone at the weekend.
The Essex Weather Centre is predicting more rain and wind to hit and is concerned about flooding as the ground is already at saturation point following heavy rain on Friday and Saturday.
Tom Defty, from the weather centre, said 25 storms had hit the county since St Jude in September last year, dropping nearly a year's worth of rainfall in that time.
He said: "There is no end in sight. "I think realistically it will take longer than a month of no rain to sort this situation out.
"Luckily we are coming up to spring. Once we hit spring the arctic air will disappear. But of course we may have to wait until the middle of March for that."

The Importance of Fan Art: InterpretationAugust 05, 2008, 07:29 AM
The creation of art has two faces: creation and interpretation. The magic of fan art is that it wears both masks. The Potter fan artist is both creating new art and interpreting the literary art of Jo Rowling. Of course, this interpretive art has a long history--even the classical artists derived their inspiration from another medium--an oral tradition of fable perhaps, or the admired work of a mentor. Some fan art takes this interpretation a step further yet, by adding layers of interpretation...Comments (4)

Coach Bill Parcells, Warren Sapp, Cris Carter, Jonathan Ogden and Larry Allen have been elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
Baskin's Blog: The Art Modell Hall of Fame induction debate
CLEVELAND - The hot topic in northeast Ohio - will former Browns and Ravens owner Art Modell be inducted into the NFL Hall of Fame in Canton?
You can pick up any paper or online column and see both sides of the story.
I think he will get in this time. So get ready.
But it's hard not to talk about the fact Art Modell was a .500 owner. His track record of not being able to make money is clear. Clear for a billion dollar business. If revenue is the standard than Randy Lerner will be a first ballot Hall of Famer. Lerner's ability to make half a billion dollars is amazing compared to Modell, who couldn't find a way to make money with two teams in two cities.
I have friends that are former Browns that say he deserves to be in. I actually think for what he did for charity here in Cleveland it's worth arguing. But, Monday Night Football would have been born, and the advertising revenues would have grown too. Giving Modell all credit for that is absurd.
What would have made him a Hall of Fame owner would have been to sell the team before he moved the franchise.
Modell's greed is Hall of Fame worthy. He put a noose around every NFL city to build a new stadium or else. You're welcome New York, Boston, Philadelphia, Cincinnati, Pittsburgh, Seattle, Arizona, Miami and everybody else. You should really be putting a statue of Art outside your stadiums. His failure is your success.
He should be in for the suffering fans of Baltimore. He brought them a Super Bowl. It's so heart warming for the good spirited Ravens fans to say that he left the colors and the team name here in Cleveland. Oh, wait that was a legal settlement, so Art didn't really do that did he? Let's see how Baltimore would have reacted if they got the expansion team in 1999.
I really think that if Baltimore football fans are so forgiving that they should put a statue of former owner Robert Irsay outside the stadium. After all, if he doesn't move the Colts you don't have the Ravens. Why are you not so vocal on Irsay being in the Hall of Fame? At least he is in the Indiana Hall of Fame.
An Irsay bust outside M&T is about the same as a bust of Art Modell in Canton, to Browns fans. But, in Baltimore, they are quick to forget the city's own history of pro football. Winning a Super Bowl can do that for a city.
These things don't really mean much to me. But, this does - a football writer that changes a previous no vote in 2002 to a yes vote.
Sixteen of the writers 46 will be voting again this time on Modell, this according to Cleveland.com. You really have to look yourself in the mirror if you can change your vote.
I want to get this straight.
When he was alive he was not worth getting in the Hall of Fame but now that he's dead it's all good. So basically you couldn't look him in the eye when he was alive to say, "yes." But, now that he is not alive it's okay to hide behind that.
If I was Art, I wouldn't even want your vote to be in. But, we will see what the answer is on Saturday.

Four linemen in their first year of eligibility, including single-season sacks record holder Michael Strahan, are among 15 modern-era finalists for the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
Two former Cleveland politicians say ex-Browns owner Art Modell turned down the city's offer to build a new stadium before he took his team to Baltimore.
Thousands of family and friends turned out Tuesday for the funeral of former Browns and Ravens owner Art Modell.
Hopefully the NFL will take two minutes to read this blog to see how dumb it is to ask the the Cleveland Browns to pay tribute in any way to Art Modell this Sunday.
The Cleveland Browns plan to hold a tribute to former owner Art Modell at Sunday's game, the team said Friday.
News Anchor Leon Bibb was the first television reporter to interview Art Modell about his plans to move the team to Baltimore.
Visitors at Canton's Pro Football Hall of Fame remember former Cleveland Browns owner Art Modell.
One city is mourning the loss of a man who brought the beloved game of football back to its city, while another is celebrating the end of what many consider to be a two decades-long curse on its current team.
