African-American Former Congressman Artur Davis's Switch from Dems to GOP Not News at NYT, AP's National Site
Artur who? The seems to be the question at the New York Times and the national site of the Associated Press. Searches on former Congressman Artur Davis (in quotes at the Times, not in quotes at AP) return nothing relevant and nothing, respectively, even though Davis appears to be the only African-American current or former congressman to leave the Democratic Part and become a Republican in decades. As noted yesterday (at NewsBusters; at BizzyBlog), the AP treated the story as a local item yesterday, and the Washington Post carried the AP's story in its Metro local section.
It appears that the two entities might be using the old "Well, Politico covered it, so we don't have to" excuse. On Tuesday of last week, the online publication filed a story reporting rumors that Davis was changing parties. Two days ago (updated yesterday), Alex Eisenstadt made it appear as if anger and not political philosophy largely drove Davis to switch:
Story Continues Below Ad ↓
Artur Davis switches parties
Former Alabama Rep. Artur Davis announced Tuesday that he's cutting ties with the Democratic Party, and said that he's considering a future bid for Congress as a Republican.
Davis, who for a time had been considered a rising star in the Democratic Party, wrote a message on his website confirming that he is switching parties.
"[I]f I were to leave the sidelines, it would be as a member of the Republican Party that is fighting the drift in this country in a way that comes closest to my way of thinking: wearing a Democratic label no longer matches what I know about my country and its possibilities," Davis wrote.
The former congressman said he was thinking about waging a comeback bid in Virginia, where he currently lives. Since leaving office in 2011, Davis has been working at a Washington law firm.
The announcement marks a dramatic turnabout for Davis, a Harvard-educated lawyer who had once been mentioned as a potential attorney general after Democrats won the White House in 2008. The ambitious Davis, who is black, routinely drew comparisons to Barack Obama.
But after Davis suffered a stinging defeat in the Democratic primary for Alabama governor in 2010, he turned sharply against his party. Much to the chagrin of party leaders, Davis refused to endorse the candidate who defeated him, Ron Sparks, and openly criticized his foe.
Note how the headline doesn't identify which party Davis leaving and the one to which he is switching. The headline also fails to tag Davis as anyone whose party switch would be considered important (how about "former four-term congressman," guys?). For all most readers probably know, Davis is just some local low-level politician.
Predictably, Isenstadt's story failed to note that Davis was a member of the Congressional Black Caucus, was the only member of that caucus to vote against ObamaCare, and that he was Obama's 2008 presidential campaign co-chair.
If anyone knows the last time this happened, please let everyone else know, because I believe it's possible that it never has. In other words, it should be national news in the establishment press by any reasonable definition, and isn't. Imagine how much attention a Republican at this level deciding to become a Democrat would get.

Mixed emotions about Artur Davis.
Submitted by BoilerFan on Fri, 06/01/2012 - 7:48am.
While I'm glad Mr. Davis has decided to switch his party affiliation, I'm extremely suspicious of anybody making the switch after spending the entire 2008 campaign strongly supporting Barry's campaign. Those of us on the right tried to warn those closer to the middle of the political spectrum--people, evidently, like Davis--who believed that Barry would magically bring people together and govern from the middle. We looked closely at his life history (at least, at the elements of his record that haven't been sealed away from public view), his voting record, his speeches and comments and his radical associations and easily came to the conclusion that, if elected (in 2008) he'd clearly govern from the left. There were absolutely no clues at all that suggested moderation or something approaching the type of centrism Davis was expecting. (My guess is that Davis, like so many other black Americans, was so caught up in the emotional and historic nature of the Obama campaign that he was oblivious to any pieces of evidence that suggested Obama was NOT who he was claiming to be.)
If Mr. Davis is merely a going to be another RINO type of Republican, then he'll never enjoy any electoral success as a Republican. The only way I can see him being embraced with any degree of enthusiasm by rank-and-file conservative Republicans is if he gives even more details about precisely how wrong he was in remaining a Democrat for the bulk of his adult life, and for supporting idiots like Barack Obama. If he acknowledges the damage done to our nation by the ideas of liberalism/progressivism, he'll have a chance. If he ackowledges the benefits offered by philosophical conservatism, as a way of getting us back on the right path again, he might enjoy some degree of success. Time will tell.

Davis didn't receive the same treatment as Specter
Submitted by BoilerFan on Fri, 06/01/2012 - 8:04am.
When, in 2009, Arlen Specter left the GOP and announced that he'd be caucusing with the Democrats in the Senate, he was hailed by the MSM for being courageous and for standing up for his convictions and principles. But with Davis' decision, the few comments I've seen in the MSM have suggested that he's simply doing this for selfish reasons and because of "sour grapes" in the aftermath of his defeat in the Democratic primary for governor of Alabama in 2010.
As usual, it's a pathetically obvious example of the double standard utilized by the MSM whenever it covers anything in the realm of politics.

Can't comprehend why a Black would leave the Liberal plantation
Submitted by Mr_Priest on Fri, 06/01/2012 - 8:47am.
It all boils down to the Liberal Masters who can't comprehend why anyone would ever leave their plantation. How dare a Black Person no less, search his conscious and come to his own conclusions and beliefs. Obviously it can't be because he feels that his party is letting minorities down, so it must be because he's angry and lashing out at his benevolent protectors. I mean really, this kind of rhetoric should be insulting to blacks or any minorities because it implies that they are inferior and unable to progress. The liberal mind set is emotional. it takes a village, its societies fault, we caused the terrorist to hate us, socialism works better then capitalism etc. The liberal gets caught up in losing the debate on the facts (Mr Davis came to his own conclusions and beliefs, AKA personal responsibility) so they get emotional, (he must be angry) they have no personal responsibility. They can't control their emotions when confronted with rational and reasoned facts. Therefore they start name calling, blaming anger, they must bring themselves up by tearing others down.

Submitted by John21 on Fri, 06/01/2012 - 9:09am.
Do you really think that the leading Obama "Public Relations" firms would admit that even parts of the DNC is not terribly supported of their client? Really?
I was in Mr Davis's situation about a decade ago, when I realized the the DNC no longer believed in the values that I did. I quit the party (not as publicly as Mr. Davis) but still believe that the fact of the matter is the party quit me. The lack of values in the party is responsible for the election of Mr. Obama.
The DNC is realizing that this administration is incompetent and that without some major evolutions in the very near future they are going to be the minority party in this government, They are already because Mr. Obama is not a Democrat but a far left liberal Progressive who does not really support the mainstream Democratic agenda, only the liberal agenda.
The party has fallen on very hard times when someone as unqualified as Mr. Obama can not only get elected but is still be supported by the baindead of the party.

I believe for th first time in history, a presidential candidate will not be sharing any money raise for campaigning for DNC, DCCC or DSCC. My suspicion since HillClo took SecState is that he will campaign and campaign and collect as much cash as possible and then bail. And if you ask for your money back, you are a racist.

Are there any mobile games that are as fun to play as league of legends?
I am still kind of an infant when it comes to mobile games. When I do play games it is still almost always on my computer with either swtor or league of legends, and the occasional mass effect when they hit and the like.
My question is for those of you who play and enjoy both league of legends AND mobile games for either smartphones or tablets (of either platform).
And here is the question, have any of you ever found a mobile game that you enjoyed more than league of legends? A game where if it came to choosing to never play one or the other, league of legends would be cut off forever?
I have played a small pocket of mobile games but I have yet to find a truly engrossing game or one that was as much jump in and have fun as lol. So please enlighten me.

'12:08 East of Bucharest' (Corneliu Porumboiu) and 'The Autobiography of Nicolae Ceasuescu' (Andrei Ujica) showing at Cornerhouse
Monday 13 May 2013
6:20 pm at Coprnerhouse: 70 Oxford Street, Manchester, M1 5NH
Tickets: £7.50, £4 (concession)
'12:08 East of Bucharest' by Corneliu Porumboiu and 'The Autobiography of Nicolae Ceauşescu' by Andrei Ujica are part of 'Anguish and Enthusiasm' exhibition at Cornerhouse. The show explores social contexts in the wake of a revolution. Where revolutions can serve as landmark shifts in the history of a nation, people or a cause, it is often the post-revolutionary period that reveals most about the mindset and outlook of those that map the new terrain.
Corneliu Porumboiu's '12:08 East of Bucharest' is a dark political comedy which is simple yet brilliantly caustic movie. In a rundown town 16 years after the fall of dictator Ceauşescu, a pretentious local TV presenter decides to mark the anniversary with a phone-in programme looking back on that glorious day and asking: Was there a revolution in their town? He rounds up a couple of talking heads – a depressed, drunk schoolteacher and a grouchy pensioner – to recall the events. The resulting broadcast is a comic gem that equally raises issues about the state of the former Soviet Bloc.
One of the most original European filmmakers over the past two decades, Andrei Ujica has, in 'The Autobiography of Nicolae Ceauşescu', produced a worthy and innovative addition to contemporary documentary filmmaking. Composed from over 1000 hours of footage from the Romanian National Film archive, Ujica masterfully unveils the rise, dominance and precipitous fall of one of European communism's most notorious dictators. With the exception of the video footage of Nicolae and Elena Ceauşescu's impromptu trial which bookends the film, all the footage used had been approved by the state censors, or is private footage shot by intimates of the Ceauşescu family.

Man charged in 4-year-old's shooting
WHITE MARSH, Md. (WMAR) -
Baltimore County Police have arrested and charged Rasean Penix with the shooting of a 23-year-old man and his 4-year-old daughter.
Both victims were found to have been shot on April 8 while sitting in a vehicle at the intersection of Old Home and Meadow Road in White Marsh. Both were treated and released at a local hospital.
Police discovered that the victim and Penix were talking on the phone and agreed to meet at the location. When the victim and his daughter arrived, Penix approached the vehicle and displayed a gun.
Penix then demanded money from the victim, and then fired a shot, which hit the man in the hand and his daughter in her legs.
Penix has been charged with two counts of attempted murder and related charges. He is currently being held without bail.

The NFL and NFLPA are meeting in Washington D.C. for what could be the final day of negotiations before their current labor agreement expires. The two sides have entered negotiations in Washington D.C. under the watchful eye of a federal mediator.
Neither side is saying anything so there isn't much to update on progress but here's who came in with everyone:
NFLPA: Players and former players Chester Pitts, Jeff Saturday, Brian Waters, Drew Brees, Domonique Foxworth, Jim McFarland, Cornelius Bennett, Charlie Batch, Tony Richardson and Sean Morey, as well as executive director DeMaurice Smith and union lawyers.
NFL: Commissioner Roger Goodell, lead negotiator Jeff Pash, Giants owner John Mara and Redskins GM Bruce Allen, among other lawyers.
On Wednesday, there were apparently 47 people in the negotiating room because the NFL's side brought more owners with them. Most of the owners from Wednesday's meeting have gone home at this point, though.

WARREN, Ohio - The schedule is set for River Rock At The Amp summer concert series' seventh season.
Click here for a list of concerts and events.
For music fans who are ready to rock, this season promises 10 tribute bands and a national headliner, Southside Johnny & the Asbury Jukes.
"They're a Springsteen genre from Asbury Park, New Jersey, they're phenomenal and we're also bringing in a Moody Blues tribute with a 50 piece, the Chagrin Falls Orchestra," said Ken Haidaris, president of Sunrise Entertainment.
The first show of the season is set for May 25, and ZOSO will take the stage accompanied by opening act: The Gary Makarsky Project.
The line up is expected to draw music fans from the area and out of town.
Tourism goals were exceeded in 2012 and this summer is expected to be a repeat.
"A lot of people like to say it's from the shale industry, yes that's helping, but we also have people who are looking for things to do," said Stephanie Sferra, executive director of the Trumbull County Tourism Bureau.
Sferra says the more popular concerts can draw up to 7,000 people, which is the news local eateries and hotels like to hear.
"We get people here from the Pennsylvania area, we get people here from even Columbus," she said.
Friday Night Flicks are a new addition for families to enjoy movies beginning at dusk. At 9 p.m. on Fridays beginning June 21, free movies will be on the big screen at the Amp.

WMC Exclusive: Documenting Late-Term Abortion
Submitted by Kyla Bender-Baird on Wed, 11/24/2010 - 2:55pm
In case you missed, the Women's Media Center featured an excellent article on the forthcoming documentary on late-term abortion, Trust Women. Here's an excerpt to whet your reading appetite:
An unknown number of doctors across the country perform late abortions, but unlike most, Dr. LeRoy Carhart and Dr. Warren Hern do so publicly. Shane and Wilson hope to humanize the doctors—revealing more about their personal lives than Dr. Tiller ever made public—and to avoid propaganda. "You can judge for yourself," said Wilson, "but if you get to know them for all their complications, what you basically see is that they're fundamentally really good people."

Tunisia, Libya show progress in human rights
By Monia Ghanmi for Magharebia in Tunis – 12/01/12
Libya and Tunisia have an "unprecedented opportunity" to promote human rights, Amnesty International's said in its "Year of Rebellion" report released on Monday (January 9th).
The international human rights watchdog group praised both countries for taking steps to redress past abuses but also noted significant room for improvement.
"We sensed that there are reforms and a desire for progress, but they remain inefficient, inadequate and below expectations," Lotfi Azzouz, director of Amnesty International Tunisia, said Monday in Tunis.
In Tunisia, Amnesty International said that a year after the revolution toppled Zine El Abidine Ben Ali, the country witnessed some important improvements in human rights, including the ratification of international conventions on the issue. However, the group said that the pace of change has been slow, failing to achieve the transitional justice Tunisians wish for.
The security system, which Azzouz saw as the main cause of violations in Tunisia, has witnessed some cosmetic reforms as it continues to adopt the same policy of the past. He further explained that the judiciary has failed to adopt proper legislative reforms.
"Regrettably, no significant steps were taken by the new authorities to address the impunity for past human rights violations," the report said. "Neither the police nor the judiciary, two of the institutions that had been directly responsible for or complicit in serious abuses, were made subject to significant reforms."
However the rights group noted that the Directorate for State Security, otherwise known as the "political police", was dissolved.
Despite the limitations of these institutional reforms and a deficient tracking of human rights violations, Amnesty International expressed optimism regarding the transitional period in Tunisia.
"A year on from the 'jasmine revolution' there are good grounds for hope that the period of transition will bring a better future for all Tunisians," the report stated.
The organisation called on all Tunisians to make use of the favourable opportunity of drafting a new constitution, by demanding that the Constitution ensure the protection of human rights and accountability before the law.
In Libya, despite the pledges of the National Transitional Council (NTC) to respect all human rights, the report criticised the nascent government for failing to control anti-Kadhafi militias.
Mohamed Lotfi, a researcher at Amnesty International specialised in North African affairs, stressed that human rights violations in Libya are still ongoing at the hands of armed militias, pointing out that the report cited a UN study estimating there were 7,000 pro-Kadhafi detainees awaiting trial.
According to Lotfi, the NTC is not yet powerful enough to control militias and prevent a repeat of violations that prevailed under the old regime, nor is it able to impose order in Libya.
But the Amnesty report also found cause for optimism in Libya, noting that the uprising has led to a blossoming of free speech once unheard of under the old regime.
"After decades without independent organisations and political parties, Libya witnessed a mushrooming of civil society organisations, political groups and media outlets. Public criticism of some NTC members and decisions appeared to be tolerated," Amnesty International said.
"The new authorities now face enormous challenges as the country enters a period of transition, but they have an unprecedented opportunity to address and remedy the many wrongs of the past and to build effective safeguards against their repetition," the report concluded.

This message is addressed to Moncef Merzouki and not to the Excellency because these two are parallel lines which can never meet. Responsibility today is bigger. All eyes and attention are addressed to you. The world has followed Arab revolutions through Tunisia. The scene began from Tunisia. What I would like to say in this message is that during the rule of Ben Ali you were fighting for freedom and dignity. But today, you are the chief in Tunisia. So will you dignify Tunisians by seeking to restore their rights usurped during the rule of the fugitive or are things limited to the idea of bridge which will lead to Excellency?

This is something I just remembered from last season when I was listening to a gameday broadcast on the radio. Rusanowsky and Baker briefly discussed players gameday diet and how it is kind of tricky (it was a matinee-time game, so they brought it up). How do hockey players usually manage their diet/appetite on gamedays? I would think it's a somewhat complicated thing to do as part of their training and practice routines, especially if their game is in early afternoon or at nighttime.
What do players usually eat on gameday and how early before the game?

Pastor Robert Brown of Middlebrook Methodist Church in Jackson speaks about how his church's members are reaching out to people who've lost everything in this week's "Faith in Focus".
"A lot of times I feel that we don't know who we are until sometimes we have ups and downs," Pastor Brown said.
Everyone knows the story of Rumpelstiltskin - a tale about a little man who can spin straw into gold.
Well there's a similar scheme going on in South Jackson only in this case garbage is being transformed into a place to sleep.
"I mean, it's no different than using yarn," Middlebrook Methodist Church member Robert Pennington said.
The blankets are surprisingly soft, not unlike cotton. But they aren't made of fabric.
"They've made from plastic bags and on the Internet you can get the instruction or the directions," Pennington said.
"They had said just Kroeger's and Wal-Mart's but I use everybody's. Piggly Wiggly has nice white ones with a little red. And McDade's has red and white. And even now the telephone directories are coming out with the yellow bags. If we get enough of those we can add some yellow," Pennington said.
Joined by another blanket maker, Connie Ashley, Pennington said they are both 80-years-young and don't mind sharing that information.
Making the low cost, labor-intensive blankets keeps them active, Ashley said.
"It keeps me out of the refrigerator," Ashley said, getting a laugh from Pennington.
But it's also going to help the people who do not have a roof over their heads or anything to sleep on.
The senior members of the church are not the only people trying to give back and help the homeless. In fact, every other group at Middlebrook - including the children's group - have selected programs to try to help people who are either on the streets or forced out of their homes because of violence.
"I volunteered to cut hair for the homeless and that was a great experience," Pastor Brown said.
"I heard so many wonderful stories. How they got to be homeless. It would blow your mind just to hear how they wound up on the street," Pastor Brown said.
Brown describes the church as open and without demands for members. He calls faith a journey that only an individual can decide to commit to.
"And you might not get there overnight but along the way your experiences and your brokeness and your hardship, pain, your struggle - in each one of those areas we discover and grow and have a relationship that really depends on God in our struggles," Pastor Brown said.
And for Connie and Roberta, they just want to help until people find a way back one their feet.
And they are using only two ingredients: the hope in their hearts and what they're calling plarn.
"P-L-A-R-N. Which is plastic: P-L. And yarn: A-R-N," Pennington said.
The seniors at Middlebrook Methodist say the Clinton YMCA is running a similar program. Members here actually got the idea from another church - a Baptist one - in Jackson.
They say they are hoping to present six full blankets to a food shelf in the next few of months.

FORT WORTH -- The Fort Worth City Council voted Tuesday to put the brakes on a widening pension gap, much to the chagrin of the unon representing 1,400 members of the city's police department.
Council members say the cost of retiree benefits is becoming unaffordable –– the unfunded pension gap is nearly $750 million and growing. The council voted to make changes to pensions for future service, not current retirees. The new rules remove overtime from pension calculations and use an average of the highest five years of salary, instead of three.
These changes will only impact employees who begin accruing benefits next year, not those who are already on the plan. Mayor Betsy Price and other members of the council said runaway spending on pensions threatens other programs and could force massive tax hikes.
The Fort Worth Police Officers Association immediately vowed to sue the city. The thin blue line was more of a solid blue wall that faced the council Tuesday as they enacted the changes.
Association President Sgt. Steve Hall says it's unconstitutional for the city to reduce vested benefits. He says some police officers will receive thousands of dollars less than they were promised in retirement.
Hall said police officers will continue to do their jobs, but he believes it could hurt recruitment.
"Every citizen in America weighs daily, is this job worth all the stuff I have to put up with?," Hall said. "Every police officer will make that decision, it will be a personal decision, it's just human nature, people will make that cost-evaluation."
About 100 officers who watched the vote filed out in disgust.
Hours after the meeting, the city announced that it filed a petition for declaratory judgment in a district court to clarify whether it has the legal power to order the pension changes. A release said the council "seeks guidance" on whether it can change benefits for current vested employees.
Speaking during the Council meeting, District 3 Councilman Zim Zimmerman said the issue at hand was larger than coming to an aggreement with the city's public safety departments. He also left the decision open to evaluation in the future.
"This is not just a fire department or a police department or a general fund issue, it is a city issue," he said. "We need to keep that in mind. We need to also recognize if we've gotten it wrong, we'll figure it out and we can always go back and adjust."
The city's unfunded pension liability is $748 million. Before the vote, Price said the pension gap could grow to $1 billion if the council didn't take action.
"It's not an easy decision, but I think it's the best one we can make today and that would be to approve the city manager's plan to try and move this thing forward and to move the needle a little bit ... so we can guarantee for each one of you in the future that it's going to be there to take care of you as we've promised," said District 4 Councilman Danny Scarth.
Eight members voted for the changes, with one abstaining. Council member Kelly Allen Gray is married to a Fort Worth officer.
The city must still negotiate a new contract with fire fighters. Their current one expires in Sept. 2013.

Black people have largely been locked out of construction work in San Francisco since 1998. That's a shame, because construction work is a solution to many of the ills in the Black community. Construction wages are high, and when Black contractors have work, they are generally eager to train Black workers regardless of their school, police or prison records.

On the corner of Third and Revere, where the Bayview Library used to be, nothing is left but bare ground. One of the few places in the neighborhood where youngsters felt safe and enriched and everyone was welcome is gone. If the City had allowed the low bidder to build the new library, it would have been at least halfway to completion by now. The youngsters who love the library would be watching their parents and older brothers and sisters build a beautiful new library for them to return to in a matter of months. Liberty Builders, my general contracting company, was that low bidder.
April 7, 2011
After many months of discussions with the City regarding the rescission of an award to rebuild the Bayview Library, Liberty Builders has retained San Francisco civil rights attorney DeWitt Lacy to pursue legal remedies for discriminatory breach of contract.

UFC Middleweight Michael Bisping is only about 90 days removed from a vicious knockout loss to Vitor Belfort at UFC On FX 7. Early in the second round, Belfort landed a perfectly placed headkick that dropped The Count and once again tore away his opportunity at a title shot. But that didn't stop Bisping from accepting a fight against Alan Belcher just 10 days later.
As expected, neither of the two 185 lbers have been quiet about their disdain for the other. From YouTube videos about bets to exchanges on social media, both Bisping and Belcher have been very vocal. MMA Weekly reported his most recent statements on the matchup:
Well, obviously it draws me back in the win column. It eradicates my last loss. You're only as good as your last fight and my last fight was a loss. And I don't take that too well. I want to win fights. I'm a natural competitor. A win over Alan Belcher puts me back in the win column. As I say, I get redemption for my last fight. It's a win over a Top 10 opponent.
A win over me for Alan Belcher will be by far the biggest win of his pathetic career
Hey bro, I ain't going to lose to you, man. It's in the bag. All I got to do is – it's a formality. I just got to show up, slap your little face, take my check and go home.
It's far from unusual for Bisping to be supremely confident heading into a fight. We'll find out this Saturday at UFC 159 if he can outclass "The Talent" like he says. The event takes place at the Prudential Center in Newark, NJ with Jon Jones defending his Light Heavyweight title against Chael Sonnen in the headlining bout.

Pair of ankle injuries sends Davis to DL
Tests reveal sprain, bone bruise for Mets' first baseman
DENVER -- Video replays of Tuesday's infield collision at Coors Field clearly show Ike Davis' left ankle bending in an unnatural direction. The result, the Mets now know, was an ankle sprain for Davis and a bone bruise in his ankle joint, landing him on the disabled list Thursday.
"I can't classify it as good news," assistant general manager John Ricco said.
Rather than replace Davis on the roster with a corner infielder, the Mets recalled outfielder Fernando Martinez from Triple-A Buffalo.
Davis flew back to New York City on Wednesday for an MRI exam, which revealed the two injuries in his ankle. Each injury alone was not serious, Ricco said, but the combination was enough to land Davis on the DL.
Walking around Tuesday evening with a heavy plastic boot on his ankle, Davis expressed optimism that he could play following his infield collision with third baseman David Wright. But Wednesday's MRI revealed significant damage to the ankle, and Mets manager Terry Collins indicated that Davis was in more pain than he admitted after the game.
"It's at least two weeks," Ricco said. "We hope it's not too much longer than that, but I think it's a little too early to predict."
In Davis' absence, Daniel Murphy will start regularly at first base. Justin Turner, who has never played first base in a regular-season game and who does not even own a first baseman's glove, will serve as the emergency backup.
"I'm real comfortable having Dan over there," Collins said. "He's been playing real well over there, and I'm comfortable with him at the plate."
Because Collins was committed to giving Wright and his balky back a day off on Thursday, Willie Harris was scheduled to make his 10th career start at third base. Turner was in the lineup at second, with Martinez available off the bench following an early-morning flight from Buffalo.
That alignment only underscored how much the Mets will miss Davis, the team's most productive hitter and arguably its best defender. Starting all 36 of the team's games at first base, Davis was hitting .302 with a team-high seven home runs and 25 RBIs, also leading the Mets in slugging percentage and on-base percentage.
"It's huge," Collins said of Davis' absence. "His production is going to be sorely missed."

BOSTON (AP) - Former Red Sox star Curt Schilling is making his debut on the Hall of Fame ballot this year, though the noted big game pitcher is being overshadowed a bit.
He's sharing his debut with Barry Bond, Roger Clemens and Sammy Sosa, players whose spectacular numbers are mixed with high profile allegations of performance enhancing drug use.
Schilling doesn't have Clemens career numbers, but his 216 wins, 3,116 strikeouts and 3.46 ERA earned him a spot on the ballot.
Schilling won three World Series championships, including his "bloody sock" performance for the Boston Red Sox in 2004.
After retiring from baseball, Schilling founded 38 Studios, a now-bankrupt video game company that has been a focus of controversy in Rhode Island, where the state gave the company a $75 million loan guarantee to relocate from Massachusetts.

Here is my illustration of this week's topic: Capable
It's really happening! I got the best horoscope today and thought it went so perfectly with this week's Illustration Friday prompt that I had to put two and two together. Actually, I read two different horoscopes for today that said basically this same exact thing! The other one said, "Get ready to start one of the most challenging and rewarding phases of life that you have had in a very long time." Isn't that exciting? If you don't know, it all probably has to do with the fact that I am starting a handmade item, illustration, & graphic design business that I'm planning to launch this May, and my horoscope made me feel a little more capable of pulling it off. I have a ton of work to do, but I couldn't be happier about it!
P.S. More exciting stuff! The story behind my business was posted on the Female Entrepreneur Association's website yesterday! Go here to read about what it's like to try to start a business while having a nearly full-time job. Whew!

The Year Ahead
For the past six months, the exam has been a constant presence in my life. At best, it's been in the background of my mind; at worst, it's hijacked my thoughts completely. I have nightmares about it. It gives me panic attacks. I dread it in a way that I've never dreaded any exam before in my life. I just want it done and behind me so that I can feel like a normal, functional human being again. No matter what I have to do, I'm getting this exam finished so that I never have to go through this experience again. Ever*.
Beyond that? I want 2014 to be a year in which I remain open to possibility. I've always been a very cautious person, believing that I can protect myself from pain by staying small and risking nothing. I put off going to medical school until my late 20s because it scared me too much. I avoided dating for years because it inevitably carries rejection and heartbreak. I refused to push myself beyond my comfort zone because my comfort zone was just so safe and...well...comfortable. And while I'm sure this approach has spared me some suffering in my life, I don't think it's served me well overall. Looking back on my life, my biggest regrets aren't for the things that went wrong, but rather for the risks I didn't take.
So I'm going to take risks. Starting with another date tomorrow night**. And then, who knows? Possibility. My word for 2014.
*Before people start worrying, I'm actually starting to cope better with the exam. I've realized that I'm actually in reasonably good shape, and I've taken the attitude that I will pass it if I put in the work.
At least, that's my attitude for today. Ask me again tomorrow when I'm crying on my bathroom floor.
**I said recently that I wasn't going to date again until the exam was over. I apparently lied. Dating is probably an irrational and unwise thing to do...but...oh well...

Wanting to date just makes you human. Embrace that. And I'm glad that you are panicking less about the exam!!

I agree! Wanting to date is normal, not irresponsible. I don't know if this makes sense, but at times I feel being lonely can be more distracting than trying to date. I went on a second date last night, and it was nice.
I'm guessing your upcoming exam is equivalent to our internal medicine board exam, right? I'm sorry you're having such anxiety over it. There are so many exams we have to take in our field - even more than I anticipated. I hope you survive the prep stress, and I'm sure you'll rock the exam.

Irrational and unwise, maybe (though I don't really believe that), but full of POSSIBILITY. A very good word for the year.
Am sending positive, medical-like vibes to you as you study. You're going to pass with flying colors.

Raiders Played the way they said, is what their about.....SMASHMOUTH FOOTBALL !!!! Control the ball by the run, for over 200 yds !! Campbell played with total confidence in controling the Game, running the play action, making smart throws, and running when he had too !!!! Ball control was key, just 1 turnover, and time of possession, was DOMINATED BY THE RAIDERS !!!!
The Defense played a great game, especially the run D !!! I don't think they ran for 50 yards !!! Had Phyliss doing his thing, and living up to his name : Cry Me a River, on the sidelines !!
Now will this team, and COACHES, Plz stick around for the rest of the SEASON !!!

How Low Can They Go?
If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!
You think Bush's rating, now at 30%, is low? Bush's approval rating is phenomenal compared to the congress' rating. Congress has done a wonderful job. They have shown what happens when the Democrats are in control: absolutely nothing. So what is their approval rating? 9%. I have a higher approval rating than that and I'm just an unknown blogger.
So why is their rating so low? It's simple, they aren't doing a darn thing. They aren't even doing what their party wants them to do. You have to anger a lot of people to get a 9% approval rating. With approximately 300 million people in America, that means only 27 million people approve of their job performance. That' 27 million mindless fools I might add. Their rating should be 0%. Have you ever heard a Democrat answer the question, "what has congress done?" It's a sight to be seen.
I want to know what congress has done that gives them the right to serve another term. They haven't properly funded the war. They have been happily watching gas prices rise because they say that oil and coal makes us sick (dingy harry). Unless you consider putting our men and women in the armed forces at danger and laughing while we go broke to fill the gas tank it's easy to say that congress is worthless. This is the change you want? Better think twice before pulling the lever for Obama.

Type of car – When buying a used car, let your soul speak to you. But try not to let your soul trick you into getting something shiny and impractical. In fact, go ahead and listen to your brain and not your soul. Your brain will pick the safest and most reasonably priced vehicle. If you have a family or are pregnant with triplets, a larger sedan or minivan is probably wisest. If you are towing or hauling a lot, you will want a truck or an SUV. If you are in a mid-life crisis, go for the convertible! Bottom line: there are many things to consider before buying a used car.
Depreciation – Put bluntly, cars might be one of the worst investments out there. They drop in value the minute you drive them off the lot. They can be large purchases that do nothing but go down in value the more you use it and the more time that passes, so when buying one it's a good idea to make sure you are getting your money's worth. Try to get a good idea of a particular vehicle's depreciation before purchasing it, new or used. The Kelley Blue Book is a good reference for finding value. A new car will depreciate very rapidly to start but this rate of depreciation slows as the car ages, which is exactly why buying a good and durable used car can be a better investment in the long run.
Reliability/Safety – A reliable car will last a long time and will not require you to pour hundreds or thousands of dollars into repairs (which add up fast). If you don't research and consider reliability when buying a used car, you may end up paying more than you would on a new car after all is said and done! But safety takes this one step further. Durability is great, but safety is always the primary concern. Nothing else matters. If the car isn't safe (or can't be made safe with repairs), it isn't worth buying!
Cost versus Value – Obviously price is one of the, if not most, important thing to consider when thinking about purchasing a used car. It's always ideal to know now your limit going in and to not spend more than that predetermined budget. But it's also not just about finding the cheapest car; you want value. If you've had any basic economics course you would have learned about cost-efficiency and the cost curve. Everything that is wanted/needed from a used car should be weighed against the cost. You can make a graph if you need to!
Private Part versus Dealer – When buying a used car, sometimes you can't determine where or from whom you will purchase your used car, but if you do have a say, make sure you know with whom you are dealing. You might be able to get a better deal from a private seller but there is more risk involved (see below about risk!); while a dealer might be harder to finagle a lower price, they are generally more reputable with more protection/warranties for you as the buyer.
Condition/Age/History – It's important to know the condition of the vehicle when buying a used car. You can get a detailed history report with carfax.com. It's also a good idea get the car inspected by a certified mechanic to find any possible problems that you or carfax could not. Also, the age of the car should be considered, especially the mileage, as well as the type of driving (highway, long-distance, etc) and how often. The best thing to do is to just budget how much you want to spend with how long you want/expect the car to last.
Risk – There is always a risk when buying anything, really, but with a large purchase like a used car, you want to carefully consider the risk involved. You don't want to buy a lemon, so go into any transaction with as much knowledge as you can. Research, ask questions, and protect yourself as best you can.
Insurance – One of the things many people forget to consider when shopping for a used car is insurance. Once you make the purchase, if you plan on actually driving the car, you will need to buy insurance, and insurance will vary depending on the type of car you purchase and its condition/age. Try not to stretch yourself financially thin without even first considering insurance!
Color – All that matter is you like it! Who care's what anyone else says?

[Rawspot] The Juice Press Cafe, NYC
Hey everyone, Dhru and Philip here. Today we are spotlighting one of the newest juice bars in the city, The Juice Press. It seems like juice bars are popping up all over the city, and many of them are rocking out Norwalk cold pressed juices... dope. Why is this important? Cold pressed juices help to preserve the freshness and insure minimal amount of enzyme and nutrient loss during juicing. And you know how we love to preserve the freshness!

Pepper the dog can play soccer quite well. This can also work up her appetite, and she's a whiz at downing her food, says her master, Brian Alworth.
"She inhales her food. If we could find something that works, it'd be good for her," he said.
The product name says it all: "Whoa, Buddy!" And the makers say specially designed nodules can make meal time last minutes longer.
"I think this will slow her down by about five seconds," said Alworth.
We have a stopwatch to see. First, Brian cooked up Pepper's favorite treat: bacon. We'll time her normal eating speed.
We clocked the meal at 37 seconds.
Next, round two....more bacon, more food, but this time in the Whoa, Buddy! bowl.
We find it's slowing her down some.
Pepper is momentarily confused, but she soon figures out how to lick this bowl clean, going right around those nodules.
She learns how to maneuver this. Final eat time: 1:36. So, almost a minute longer.
"I think she got annoyed for two seconds, ate more slowly, and looked up as if to say, 'Why? What's this about?'" said her owner.
So, if you're truly worried about the list of symptoms this bowl might help prevent, you could try this $8.00 contraption.
"I'd give it a 'C'. It did slow her down, but not a big difference," said Alworth.
