Daly targets top four finish for Team GB hockey boys
9:00am Sunday 22nd July 2012 in Sport
Surbiton Hockey Club star Matt Daly insists the Team GB men's squad are well placed to challenge for a medal at London 2012 – with a semi-final berth the minimum target for an ambitious group of
Daly was part of the side that travelled to Beijing ranked ninth in the world four years ago and no one's tip for a podium berth – a fifth-place finish surpassing most expectations.
Now older and wiser, Surbiton-based Daly has been at the forefront of Britain's rapid rise to fourth in the world rankings in recent years and he believes the chances of a medal are now
The last time the men achieved such a feat at the Olympics was the gold in Seoul in 1988, but Daly insists they will never have a better chance of writing their names into hockey folklore.
"I think we've got a really good chance, the fact that we're ranked fourth means we should be expecting to reach the semi-finals," said the 29-year-old.
"I think we can, fingers crossed, and then anything can happen from there, but this is a big chance.
"The mood in the camp has been brilliant. It has been tough because we've been a big squad of 27 players and we've had to get it down to 18, but the guys that haven't made the team have been really
supportive and their efforts have been fantastic.
"It made it that little bit more real when the team was announced a few weeks ago. It still felt a long way off, and we still have a bit more training to do, so until we actually step foot on that
pitch it's about trying to keep things under wraps.
"We've prepared really well, recently we've had the test event which was a good benchmark for what to expect come the actual Games."
Daly was part of the England side that claimed European Championship gold for the first time in 2009 and he admits that was the catalyst for the surge in self-belief that has engulfed the British
A persistent knee injury suffered in 2010 almost put his participation at this summer's Games in doubt, but the Saud Arabia-born forward insists he cannot wait to step out at the Riverbank Arena on
July 30.
He added: "The home crowd will be hugely important.
"Little things like that can spur you on and get you over the finishing line.
"We have a lot of tough games, so it's important we get off to a good start."

If you're a smoker, Obama raised your taxes
By Angie Drobnic Holan
Published on Thursday, April 2nd, 2009 at 5:26 p.m.
A new cigarette tax went into effect April 1, and we got lots of e-mail from readers saying it violated a promise Barack Obama made on the campaign trail not to raise any taxes on people who make less than $250,000 a year.
"I can make a firm pledge. Under my plan, no family making less than $250,000 a year will see any form of tax increase. Not your income tax, not your payroll tax, not your capital gains taxes, not any of your taxes," Obama said on the campaign trail.
We didn't have a promise like this in our database, so we decided to add it. And after a lot of debate, we decided to rate the new promise Compromise . Read all about our new promise and find out why we decided on Compromise here .

Poses We Hate
If you've ever experienced negative feelings or even�dare we say it?�hate for certain yoga poses, you're not alone. In fact, you're in very good company. Many popular and accomplished yoga teachers have also struggled with certain asanas, including some of the most basic ones. Patricia Walden, one of only two advanced senior Iyengar teachers in the United States, spent years hating "that God-awful Marichyasana I." Baron Baptiste, who offers his popular yoga "bootcamps" all over the country, used to get horribly frustrated when he did Garudasana, because he'd fall out of the pose if he tried to wrap his foot around his ankle. And popular vinyasa teacher and yoga trance dance creator Shiva Rea still calls her least favorite pose "Poor Me Purvottanasana."
Yet, as these teachers would be the first to tell you, the very poses we hate are some of the most valuable ones for us to practice. Fortunately, there are many tactics that not only can make it easier to practice those bothersome poses, but also can make the experience less daunting�and maybe even fun. If you apply the tips and tricks outlined in this article, you'll see why it's so valuable to work on asanas you struggle with, gain insight about just why you hate the poses you do, and discover how to turn your nemeses into your greatest teachers.
So why, you might ask, would you want to practice poses you loathe? For one thing, these poses often specifically address your physical imbalances; they build strength and flexibility in exactly the places that need it most. If you sit hunched all day in front of a computer, backbends may be difficult for you, but they're also just what your body needs. Or maybe years of running have left you with tight hamstrings. It would be no surprise if you despise forward bends, but those are exactly the poses that will move you toward physical balance.
In addition, doing poses you find physically difficult or that scare you can be a great antidote to staleness in your practice; it's exhilarating to take on new challenges. And even if you don't achieve immediate results, you'll often find that a sweet feeling of relief arises when you face difficulties instead of evading them.
Practicing poses you tend to shun also teaches you to cultivate equanimity in the face of challenge. When you take the time during your yoga practice to study how you deal with difficulty, you may gain insights that will assist you with the tough stuff elsewhere in your life. Do you ignore difficulty? Approach it timidly? Rush at it headlong? Become overwhelmed by it? Once you identify habits that aren't serving you, you can begin the process of pausing, taking a deep breath, and searching for a more effective approach.
Regularly facing the poses you find most intimidating can also help you change your self-image�from incapable to capable, say, or from timid to brave. For instance, Patricia Walden says Handstand is a "power pose" for many female students. She's observed that learning to get up and stay up in it builds so much confidence and mental strength that the experience is often life-changing.

Brad's New "Album"
I've started some new "photo" albums featuring PowerPoint style charts illustrating the history of the farm bill and related topics. I have created hundreds of these. So far I've posted a few major ones. When I have time I will be writing explanations of the data (I've already started). See:
Farm Bill Slides: http://www.zcomm.org/albums/list/bradwilson
Farm Bill Slides 2: http://www.zcomm.org/albums/list/bradwilson
Some of these, in certain versions, were featured in my videos (parts 1 & 2) "Michael Pollan Rebuttal," which are linked here.
Unlike effective PowerPoint slides, which are simple and in l arge print, some of these charts include detailed text that explains the data. Arrows are also used.
Here are the topics of the first slides (which show up in the reverse order of when they're posted):
1. Corn Farmers Subsidize You.
2. Farmers lost money even while receiving large subsidies.
3. Rice Price Floors were lowered. Subsidies were later added, but did not make up the difference.
4. Price ceilings for wheat, to protect consumers and corporate buyers, are shown.
5. Shares of the Food Dollar, farmers vs agribusiness input (selling to farmers) and output (buying from farmers) complexes.
Graphic Illustrations of Farm Bill History.
Many of the slides graphically illustrate major parts of US farm bill history, and compare it to the data of farm economics. For example, several of the first charts show how price floors (policy enacted by Congress and signed into law by the President) were lowered and eliminated, (to secretly subsidize agribusiness with cheap farm commodities,) and how subsidies to farmers were started and increased. Normally these subsidies are seen as huge windfalls. Here we see that they are part of massive reductions in farm income.

Former pub reopens as bar and guesthouse
6:27pm Sunday 30th December 2012 in News
A BAR and guesthouse has opened at the former Clarendon pub in Harwich Road, Colchester.
Owners James Moreno and Carl Blanchette want to maintain the the Eastgate Inn's tradition as an old fashioned pub with rooms to let upstairs.
More than 150 customers attended the launch night.
Mr Moreno, 42, said: "The first night went really well.
"We had a few Clarendon regulars come in and some new customers who had never been in the building before.
"This has certainly been a learning curve."
The pair have taken on two members of staff and said they will continue to employ locally.
A night in the Eastgate will cost you about £75 for a double en-suite room with a breakfast.
Mr Moreno and Mr Blanchette have also been granted planning permission to convert the Grade II listed offices on North Hill into an upmarket guesthouse.
Law firm Thompson Smith and Puxon will move to offices in the former Le Cateau Barracks in Stable Road, Colchester.
Mr Blanchette a self-employed plasterer and Mr Moreno, a guest house developer, plan to start work in the new year.

- Miami Spice attemptblueskiesVIPDined on 8/25/2014We went to Makoto to participate in Miami Spice but when we saw the menu, we realized we could order two dishes for less than the Miami Spice meal. Of course, this meant we did not get dessert which we did not want anyway. The waitstaff hovered around us so as soon as a last bite was taken, the waiter was there to remove the dish. I prefer for dishes to be removed when all are finished. Now about the food - the four dishes we had were delicious and different but sparse. I would almost say that I was still hungry when we left. Our friend ordered the skirt steak on Miami Spice. The meat was 4 ounces which for a man as a main course is not sufficient.Special Features:

- Good food, average serviceTravellerDined on 8/11/2014Our waiter was never around, we had to pour ourself our wine all the time, food was good, but was not explained correctly. Ambiance was a bit noisy, lots of groups in large tables. If you're going for Miami spice dinner menu, I wouldn't order the sushi combination, nothing special about it, but the skirt steak, delicious! And the cheesecake, yummi!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Not worth itPacheeksDined on 8/10/2014We've been to Makoto before, and both times we weren't happy with our experience. This last time, I called to find out about the wait time, at which point the hostess informed me they were completely booked for the night, and we could maybe sit outside with a minimum 45-minute wait. I was a little bummed (I wanted to go for a bday dinner), but as I was browsing their website, I saw there was a reservation option. Plenty of reservations available for the whole night! When we arrived 20 mins later, the place was not full. Not sure why they are turning away customers. The food is mediocre and not worth the price tag, and the workers came off as snobby. Also-took our favorite roll off the menu. Won't be coming back-don't waste your $$$ !!!
- YumRspringflaDined on 8/10/2014Third time back. Can't wait for the next time, soon Best cowboy ribeye ever. Dry aged. Flavorful. Perfectly cooked Outstanding sushi Delicious roasted bronzinoSpecial Features:

Great location in the Bar Harbour Shops so can stroll around before or after dinner. Great selection of drinks and sake. Knowledgable staff. Great people watching place. Dessert was delicious too.Special Features:
- good japanese in miamiOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 8/7/2014the food was good, the evening enjoyable except for one incident with the hostess. we made a reservation for 7:30. upon arriving, the restaurant was mostly empty. when i protested as to the seating in front of the kitchen and asked her to change the table, then gestured toward a corner table and asked if we could sit there, she told us that they saved those tables for parties of 5. Fine, she changed our table and then 5 minutes later, proceeded to seat a party of 4 at the table next to us which was the precise table i had asked her to seat us at. Moral of the story: it is always better to tell the truth than to lie. If someone had requested that specific table, let us know. the incident left a sour note to an otherwise nice dinner.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- The Best JapaneseGourmetVIPDined on 8/5/2014I love Makoto!! it is one of my favorite places in Miami! I go at least twice a month….. The food is so delicious and the service is outstanding….. Highly recommended!!!!Special Features:

- Good SushiRickMeisterDined on 7/31/2014Sushi was very good but not the best I've had by a long shot. Tuna tataki salad was best item we tried. Spicy tuna and spicy hamachi rolls were also good but lacked a bit of flavour. Rolls are expensive but you get 8 good size pieces. Waiter was very good and service was excellent. Only complaint is that restaurant was freezing. We requested that they turn down the air conditioning which they did.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- well taken care of at MakotoXcellentdinerDined on 7/31/2014Fabulous food and the best sushi!!! EVERYTHING was fresh and so well prepared and for the first time I tried a vegan veggie roll wow you won me over on that one. I am from California and we have some of the worlds best sushi but I must say that our entire group unanimously agreed we would love Makoto in Orange County California! The crab salad is just right as was the udon dish and the spicy edamame were fabulous although we could have gone for more spice!! Keep it fresh and real Makoto we will always come back for your authentic sushi whenever we are in Miami!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- jennyc390Jennyc390VIPDined on 7/3/2014I love this restaurant; i love the food, the location and the fact that they remember that we go often, not just because we use open table. However above all I love the lychee martinis, but particularly with Raoul making them, if he is there. On two occasions recently, knowing he was on the bar, I have asked that he make them for me. On both occasions I was assured that he had when I knew that he hadn't. Firstly because it did not taste the same, and the glass was not full to capacity, but also because the whole time I was waiting for it to arrive at my table Raoul was in the kitchen waiting for a take out order!!! Most people go to a restaurant again and again because they want to repeat an experience. Not so these two times!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- always good.a couple of glitchestruscicaDined on 7/2/2014I have eaten at makoto since it's opening about 20 or so times.it is always good. menu does alter certain items(even good ones from time to time and never reappearing, example the skirt steak on hot stone on original menu,was the most affordable steak and delicious.Never to be heard of again.Now its expense kobe beef, generally not worth the price.The way this rest and others by the same owner,the food comes out not in any order from appetizers to entrées.it simply comes when ready.In theory its terrific, in actuality if you r eating your salad and you main course come b4 your small appetizers or robabto grill, food gets cold and the table overcrowded with too much food at once. I have given this rest a good review,but it needs rethinking.Special Features:
- Amazing Special Date LocationOpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 6/30/2014While the prices may be a little off putting, it was well worth it. Everything my fiance and I had was mouth watering, from drinks to dessert. It is definitely a new date night location, and is a place not to be missed.Special Features:
- Perfect every timeKatsumotoVIPDined on 6/29/2014The mark of a great restaurant is its capacity to deliver great food and service every time you go, and Makoto has been doing just that over the last few years.Special Features:
- overpriced for average foodDavidBDined on 6/27/2014Not bad, but this resturant has relatively high prices for sushi which provided only average taste and portion sizes. Noise level became enough of an issue that we were having to yell to hear each other. The real crab used in the sushi which was noted in several reviews on other sites was tasteless. I would go elsewhere for sushi in the future, as I do not think the food taste / portions justify the price level.Special Features:
- Nothing specialABmiaDined on 6/23/2014The restaurant design is quite bad.. Inside smells like fried food .. The small outdoor area inside the mall is cute but the back outdoor area is in the middle of a parking lot ??!?

UPDATED: Massive crater that could fit a giraffe opens up in Bexleyheath road
Updated 3:32pm Wednesday 29th January 2014 in News By Khaleda Rahman
A Belvedere Road resident told News Shopper she was walking back from the shops when she noticed the ten-feet deep chasm in the road.
A MASSIVE crater the size of a baby giraffe in a Bexleyheath road has revealed only an inch or so of tarmac is supporting the street to the horror of residents.
A Belvedere Road resident told News Shopper she was walking back from the shops when she noticed the ten-feet deep chasm in the road - and watched a driver almost go over it.
She said: "What's really worrying is that it seems like there's about an inch and a half of tarmac supporting the whole road - it doesn't seem very strong.
"We've had these issues for about two years now with drainage works going on.
"It's just not safe - I certainly won't be going back out there again."
Paul Davis, who lives on Belvedere Road virtually opposite the crater, said that a drain control man was driving along the road and saw the hole.
He stopped and went back to check what was going on, he and a passer by then put some cones out and directed traffic round the hole.
The father-of-three added: "The hole is right in front of my old house.
"Workmen started looking into how to fix it right away.
"The size of the cavern underneath the road is just unbelieveable."
"If the drain controlman he hadn't taken the action he did, one wonders what catastrophe might have happened."

The only occasion that I've been lucky enough to see a giraffe in the flesh was at Marwell Zoo in 1976, and the gangly fellow in question was busy eating from a tall tree at the time and so his head was at some distance from me on the ground. I'm afraid that time, distance and leaves have all conspired to cloud my mental image of the fellow's head, and with it my sense of scale.
I have to confess that my knowledge of even-toed ungulates in general is actually embarrassingly thin, so I wonder if somebody could give me an idea of the hole diameter with respect to freshwater trout. Would it perhaps fit an adult Brown trout (lengthways), or perhaps even a Rainbow trout?
If the editors would be so kind as to mock up a montage against such a fish it would help me immensely in gauging the size of this hole more accurately. If a good photo of a trout is hard to find then I'd be happy to consider bream as a backup.

highway warrior says...
In terms of brown trout (wiki says average of 40-80cm so call it 60)
placed end to end it would be approx
5 to 10 brown trout deep
5 brown trout wide by 5 brown trout long
however i don't have an average cubic measurement for brown trout so assuming they are flat it would accomodate 125 Brown Trout at it shallowest point (so rough estimate maybe 100 if you packed them in like sardines......)
12:08pm Wed 29 Jan 14
Station Grey says...
I would however take issue with the concept of packing trout 'like sardines'. Presumably in such a case they'd simply be packed 'like trout'. But sans oil of course.

From the Tri-County News Nov. 1, 1962, reprinted Thursday, March 8, 2001.
Four days in the life of Gary Abbott were re-discovered during our weekly indexing of history by The Kimball Area Historical Society. He recently wrote a letter to the editor, and is a regular subscriber to the Tri-County News. Local boy visits U.N.
Now seems a good time to congratulate him once more in recognition of his 1962 achievement. It is hoped that our history
columns are enjoyed by Gary and others.
Gary Abbott, son of Mr. and Mrs. Monroe Abbott, was among a group of 78 persons who spent four full days in New York City observing the world organization in action. Each day there were some hours when U.N. personnel and members of various delegations spoke to the seminar on the activities of the U.N. and issues currently being debated.
I just wanted to add a little to the history of the railroad through Kimball.
When I was in elementary school in Kimball, we lived on the old Doctor Sherwood Guernsey Farm, if people can remember that.
Every Sunday morning, I would wait for the westbound Soo Line train to go through Kimball. The train ran just south of the house, so it was just a short walk to watch the train. I would sit or stand by the fence, and every Sunday morning, the train crew would toss out the Minneapolis Sunday Tribune for us. We never had to buy a Sunday paper. Besides, we probably could not afford it anyhow.
The Cokato Museum & Historical Society invites the public to its 14th annual New Year's open house from 1-4 p.m. Sunday, Jan. 5, 2014, in the Centennial Room of the Cokato Public Library.
As a part of this open house, a demonstration of the Finnish custom of "melting tin" will be held. Small pieces of tin are melted in an iron lathe then cast into a pail of cold water, where the tin forms unique shapes. Tradition holds that these shapes will foretell the upcoming year. Area residents familiar with this custom are especially encouraged to attend.
This event is free and open to the public. Light refreshments will be served.
For more information, please contact the museum at (320) 286-2427, on the web at www.cokato.mn.us, or check out their Facebook page.
The Cokato Museum is a cooperative effort of the city of Cokato and the Cokato Historical Society.
Major Highlights for the Week
Wednesday, Dec. 23, 1863
Fighting broke out at Jacksonport, Ark.; Culpeper Courthouse, Va.; Corinth, Miss.; along with Mulberry Village and Powder Springs Gap, Tenn. Confederate President Jefferson Davis hoped that General Joseph E. Johnston and the Department of Tennessee would be able to "commence active operations against the enemy" soon.
Thursday, Dec. 24, 1863
While the major fronts in Virginia and north Georgia remained quiet, skirmishing flared near Germantown and in Lee County, Va.; Rodney, Miss.; at Estenaula, Jack's Creek, Peck's House near New Market, Mossy Creek Station, and at Hays's Ferry near Dandridge, Tenn.
Reprinted from the Tri-County News May 3, 2001.
In 1886, the Soo Line Railroad decided to bypass Maine Prairie in favor of Kimball Prairie, five miles to the south. With the arrival of the railroad, Kimball became a regular passenger and freight stop for the shipping of farm products, buildingh materials and merchandise. The railroad also created local jobs, and Kimball continued to grow. That is what brought Addie Dalton Lutgen to Kimball in 1962, when her late husband Donald Dalton became the Soo Line Depot Agent at Kimball. She has graciously shared here some wonderful photos and memories from those years. She still resides in Kimball, with husband Ben Lutgen.
"When a depot was available for a new agent, they were assigned according to their seniority. A main line assignment was choice (Minneapolis to Winnipeg was a main line with branches off from it). My husband was several years older than me, and at one time I remember he had the most seniority of any agents on the Soo Line.
"The depot agent and his family could live in the depot building free as part of his wages. There was no running water in the Kimball depot. It had two bedrooms, a living room, a kitchen, a small pantry off the kitchen, and a small cellar under the pantry. Other depots we lived in had the living quarters upstairs and were larger than the one in Kimball. The depot itself had an office, waiting room, and a large freight house. On Saturdays (before laundromats) I would wash clothes in the waiting room and put up lines so the clothes could be hung there to dry.

Stop the logging in Caribou Habitat (Manitoba)
Forty-two biologists and botanists have signed a petition urging the governments of British Columbia and Canada to fully protect old growth forest across the range of the endangered mountain caribou. Unless logging of these forests stops, the species will disappear, the scientists warn. Most of these forests are in the Interior Wet Belt of British Columbia, which is inhabited by 98 percent of the worldâ

Gynecomastia (cont.)
Exams and Tests
Gynecomastia is usually diagnosed by a physical examination. The presence of breast tissue greater than 0.5 cm in diameter is characteristic of gynecomastia. In addition to a physical examination, a careful medical history is also important to help assess the cause of gynecomastia.
The doctor may order tests, such as blood tests or imaging studies, to help establish the reason for gynecomastia. Mammography is indicated if there is any suspicion of male breast cancer.

The St. Louis Cardinals already sported some of the prettiest and classiest uniforms in professional sports. And they have been one of the very few Major League Baseball teams to resist the siren song of the alternate jersey.
Now they've changed the latter but kept the former, introducing an alternate jersey that will rank among the most esthetically pleasing in the sport.
The alternate jersey, which will be worn by the club for Saturday home games, will replace the "Cardinals" script across the front with "St. Louis," marking the first time since 1932 that the city's name will be sewn on a Cardinals uniform.
The famous "Birds on the Bat" logo remains, though it will be featured in more detail. The alternate jersey will come in an off-white color, similar to the cream color worn by the Cardinals from the 1940s-'60s. The red piping down the front is reminiscent of the franchise's uniforms of the '50s, and player numbers will still be incorporated as part of the front design.
When I see a club devote so much energy to this process, with such a lovely result, it gives me some hope that the Lords of the Realm will continue to resist the urge to plaster advertisements on their livery. I continue to believe that's inevitable, but every day without corporate logos on our beloved jerseys is a better day.

ST. PETERSBURG -- The A's acquired right-hander Jesse Chavez from the Blue Jays on Friday in exchange for cash, further adding to their already stacked bullpen depth and again filling their 40-man roster in the suspended Bartolo Colon's stead.
Chavez, who turned 29 on Tuesday, has nine appearances in the Majors this season and 19 with Triple-A Las Vegas. He went 1-1 with an 8.44 ERA in his big league time, spread over three stints, and was 8-5 with a 3.98 ERA for Las Vegas. Most of his time at Triple-A this year was as a starter, while most of his action in the Majors came as a reliever.
It's likely that Chavez, who carried strong strikeout rates at both stops -- 86 in 95 innings with Las Vegas and 27 in 21 1/3 with Toronto -- will remain a reliever in Oakland's organization. For now, it appears he'll do so with Triple-A Sacramento, but in the future could offer the A's a long-relief option.
In parts of five Major League seasons, Chavez is 7-11 with a 5.74 ERA in 152 games. He's played with Pittsburgh (2008-09), Atlanta (2010), Kansas City (2011) and Toronto. Chavez has 143 strikeouts, 69 walks and has allowed 33 home runs in 174 innings.
Manager Bob Melvin has not yet acquainted himself with Chavez, but acknowledged the confidence he has in the decisions made by the front office, saying: "We evaluate pitching pretty well in this organization."
Melvin giving slumping Reddick rest for stretch run
ST. PETERSBURG -- Among the several factors that will decide Oakland's fate in the final weeks of the regular season is Josh Reddick's production.
Lately, there hasn't been much of it, and the downward trend -- he has a .175/.221/.300 batting line in August -- needs to reverse should the A's remain in playoff contention.
Much has been made of Yoenis Cespedes' value to the team -- and rightfully so, given the fact Oakland is 55-35 with him in the starting lineup, and just 12-22 when he's not. But Reddick, who has stayed on the field more than Cespedes this year, has proven to be of equal value.
In fact, Reddick's 3.9 WAR (Wins Above Replacement), which signifies the number of wins that a player has added to his team, leads the A's and, entering Friday, ranked 11th in the American League among a crowd that includes Josh Hamilton, Mike Trout, Miguel Cabrera and Robinson Cano.
No wonder his recent struggles -- Reddick has just 14 hits with 31 strikeouts over his last 94 at-bats -- are garnering so much attention.
"Everybody goes through stretches," manager Bob Melvin said. "He's been as consistent as anybody we've had, if not more so than anybody we've had, and that's why it stands out when you go through a stretch where you struggle some. He'll continue to be a force for us. He'll continue to be a mainstay. It's probably just a couple of hits there, maybe a bloop there, and he'll be back and off to the races again."
Looking for that time to come sooner than later, Melvin rested Reddick against tough Rays lefty Matt Moore on Friday. Combined with Sunday's scheduled team off-day, Reddick will get rest in two of the next three days -- equaling the number of days off he had received since July 28.
"He's a guy that, more than anybody, has played every day," Melvin said. "No [disabled list] stints, knock on wood, and an occasional DH day, but he's gone out there quite a bit, and this is his first full season in the big leagues on top of that. He's a guy we count on, so to give him this day and then with Sunday's off-day, hopefully you get some rejuvenation."
Reddick leads the A's with 25 home runs and, before August, which has brought his average down to .247, was batting .262 with a .834 OPS.
Miller recalled to bolster bullpen
ST. PETERSBURG -- The A's added bullpen depth by way of a familiar face on Friday, recalling Jim Miller from Triple-A Sacramento.
Miller takes the 25-man roster spot of righty Tyson Ross, who allowed five runs in six-plus innings in Thursday's loss before being optioned after the game. Ross will assume relief duties with the River Cats, as the A's hope he'll find more consistency in that role.
The right-handed Miller, entering his third stint with the A's this season, has done well for them, compiling a 2-1 record, 2.16 ERA and .215 opponents' average in 24 appearances.
"He's done a nice job for us in a number of roles, so it kind of gives us the option to do some things with [Travis] Blackley, where we don't have to use him in a length role," manager Bob Melvin said.
That being said, Blackley becomes a definite option for Wednesday's start, a spot vacated by the suspended Bartolo Colon. Melvin admitted as much, but also said the team could choose to pitch Jarrod Parker that day on normal rest, should it forgo offering him and Saturday starter Brandon McCarthy extra rest with Sunday's off-day looming.
Should Parker, who started Friday in Tampa Bay, go Wednesday in Cleveland, the A's could then call upon righty Dan Straily for Thursday's start. Another option for either Wednesday or Thursday is rehabbing hurler A.J. Griffin.
"We'll take our time in making the decision," said Melvin, who gets to carry eight bullpen members until that time.
Worth noting
• Brandon Inge, who went 1-for-3 with a double and a walk as designated hitter in his first rehab start with Triple-A Sacramento on Thursday, is scheduled to play five innings at third base for the River Cats on Friday. If all goes well, he'll play nine on Saturday.
The A's have an off-day Sunday and could choose to bring Inge (right shoulder) back as soon as Monday for the start of a four-game series in Cleveland.
• Jonny Gomes, who got the start at designated hitter on Friday, entered the day having hit safely in each of his seven career games against his former Rays team (9-for-25). Gomes is hitting .280 with six home runs and 14 RBIs in 22 games since the All-Star break.

Oral Roberts guard Kevi Luper had her best performance Monday in the Pan American Games, scoring 11 points in 21 minutes as Team USA routed Jamaica 87-41 in the seventh place game in Guadalajara, Mexico.
Luper averaged eight points and two rebounds per game in three appearances for the US women's team, which suffered two early defeats that put them out of medal contention.
Luper did not play in the opening loss to Argentina and scored just four points in the loss to Puerto Rico, but scored nine in a victory over Mexico.
The seventh place finish is the worst in Team USA's history. The Americans were the defending gold medallists and had never finished lower than third in 13 previous tournaments.

Here are the first pictures of Adrianne Palicki working on the set of the new "Wonder Woman" series, and SPOILER ALERT: Wonder Woman is going to be running! Now, I know what you're thinking: "Aw, man! Why'd you have to spoil it for me? I was enjoying thinking about the different ways she might chase criminals — walking quickly, riding a Segway, flying her invisible jet — but now the show is ruined for me!" But that's just how I roll. I'm not afraid to ruffle some feathers when it comes to revealing TV's most closely guarded secrets.
Anyway, the ensuing pictures don't exactly make Wonder Woman look very cool — Palicki looks too hard like she's trying to do Harrison Ford's signature angry run — but to be fair, not many people look cool in still pictures snapped during mid-run. I'm sure if you made a flip book of these photos and got an approximation of Palicki's boobs jiggling, you might be more inclined to watch "Wonder Woman." Of course, some short-shorts would also help, and I'd also recommend a bustier that lifts and pushes together (rather than lifts and separates), but I should probably save these opinions for the Wonder Woman fan forum I moderate, LassoEroticAsphyxiation.net.

I bought a 154 almost 3 weeks ago, it's not really what I wanted (diesel and a little larger please). So I didn't want to put more money into it than I could get back out. It already has the creeper, but lacked the 3 point so lasts week I started making one, and finished this morning. The only thing that I didn't already have was the pins needed to attach the arms to the tractor. Was going to make them but thought I should check the tractor store first, $3 each. I liked that so much I also used them for the arms on the rocker shaft.
The build is a reflection of what I had laying around. Cyl is 2.5" bore 8" stroke, I still need to put a breather in the top port and or do more with the hydraulics than come off the T. Hitch frame is all one piece. Replaces the draw bar, on the left it bolts to a tab (part of a piece that extends back along the frame and is welded. on the right it bolts (2 on the back and one on the side) to a box that is bolted on top of the frame and down to the rear. I did a smoke test: hooked the arms under something that wouldn't move and it picked the front of the cub off the floor with no effort or deflection. ( I didn't jump up and down on the front of the tractor thou).
Still to do is the attachment for the top link,, Already welded on top and bottom of the 3x5 angle that supports the rocker are two pieces of 3/8 x1 1/2 x 6 strips with holes. Just need to take a slice of the same 3x5 angle (flipped 180 it will make a box with the other 3x5 angle) , put holes in it and weld on what ever I decide for the link. If it wears out or I don't like it I can just cut another slice and do it over.\
