Movie theater magnate T.G. "Teddy" Solomon, who expanded a family theater empire to more than 600 theaters in eight states before introducing the megaplex concept to south Louisiana with his Palace theaters, died Sunday. He was 93.
At the time of its $62 million sale to United Artists in 1986, Solomon's Gulf States Theatres chain, with movie screens throughout the south, was the largest motion picture chain in Louisiana and Mississippi. Ten years later, Solomon and his sons George and Gary got back into the motion picture business by introducing the first local megaplex theater, the Palace 20 Theatre in Elmwood.
"I've been in the theater business all my life, and my daddy before me," Solomon told the Houma Courier in 2002. "We started out with drive-ins, then went to downtown theaters and then shopping center theaters. But, the Palace theaters are the finest theaters yet in my opinion."
Named after the Solomon family's first theater, other Palace theaters would follow at Clearview Mall in Metairie, on the West Bank, in Hammond and Houma. Solomon would sell the megaplexes in 2002 to AMC.
"I still love the business more than anything," he told The Times-Picayune in a 1997 interview explaining why he was still active well into his retirement years. "There's no business like show business."
Solomon's roots in the movie business ran deep. A native of Port Arthur, Texas, he was among the first generation of Americans to experience "talking pictures" with sound an in the 1930s began selling popcorn and ushering at his father's first theater, which opened in 1927 in McComb, Mississippi.
"By the time I was old enough to realize it, all I knew was picture shows," Solomon told The Times-Picayune. "It's in my blood."
Solomon's father, a Lebanese immigrant, died in 1948, leaving his son to run what was then a two-screen business. Solomon continued working while studying at LSU. Shortly after graduation, he served four years in the U.S. Army Air Force during World War II in the Pacific theater.
After the war, Solomon would expand the family's business, eventually growing to more than 200 screens in eight Southern states, including drive-ins and multiplexes. The deal to sell the theaters to United Artists in 1986 included 52 theaters with 210 screens in Louisiana, Mississippi, Texas and Florida.
Solomon opened one of Louisiana's first drive-in theaters in 1949, Tiger Drive-In in Baton Rouge. Other local drive-ins run by the company during its heyday included the Airline, Do, Jeff, Westgate and Algiers Drive-Ins. His company would expand to include more drive-ins and multiplex theaters, or theaters with more than one screen, which became the standard in the movie theater industry.
Among those multiplex theaters operated by the Solomon family over the years were the familiar Lake Forest Plaza and Eastlake Cinemas in New Orleans East, the Sena Mall Theater in Metairie and the Aurora Cinema 6 and Belle Promenade Cinema 6 theaters on the West Bank. The family's company also owned or operated shopping centers in eight states and had other real estate holdings.
After selling his movie theater company, Solomon remained active in the motion picture industry, serving on the board of the National Association of Theatre Owners and chairman of the Louisiana Film and Video Commission, an entity he helped establish.
Solomon was also a well-known local philanthropist. Most recently he and his family made a $5 million donation to the National World War II Museum, where the facility's new high-tech 4-D theater is named the Solomon Victory Theater in the family's honor.
In 1982, Solomon donated funds and a gift of land for the Solomon Episcopal Conference Center, a 172-acre retreat and meeting site in Tangipahoa Parish run by the Episcopal Diocese of Louisiana.
Solomon was also a supporter of the Variety Club, Will Rogers Institute, Louisiana Philharmonic Orchestra and the Foundation for the LSU Health Sciences Center, where he served on the board of directors. He donated funds for the train at City Park and was honored by Junior Achievement, as well as being named Man of the Year and Humanitarian of the Year by the Louisiana Chapter of the Crohn's and Colitis Foundation of America. He was also honored with the New Orleans Film Society's Celluloid Hero award.
Solomon is survived by his wife, Doris, their six children, 16 grandchildren and six great-grandchildren.
Funeral services will be held Thursday at St. Paul's Episcopal Church, 6249 Canal Blvd., New Orleans. A Mass will be said at 11 a.m. Visitation will begin at 9 a.m.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Solomon Episcopal Conference Center, 54296 Louisiana 445, Loranger, La. 70446, or to the Will Rogers Motion Picture Pioneers Foundation, 10045 Riverside Drive, Third Floor, Toluca Lake, Ca. 91602.

EYOTA, Minn. (FOX 47)- The intersection of Highway 14 and Highway 42 near Eyota has been a hot topic of discussion for many years, and a week after an accident there claimed the life of a Rochester man, people are demanding change.
April 6th was the deadliest day on Minnesota roads so far in 2013, a day that included a crash at the intersection in question, claiming the life of Marvin Jech of Rochester.
That has spurred, once more, a call for improved safety at the dangerous stretch of road.
"It is my hope that as we stop this process, that we will be able to look at what are the options? What are the alternatives?" said Senator Carla Nelson, a Republican from Rochester.
People in the audience wasted no time getting their points about the intersection across, including Jason Jech, Marvin's son.
"Imagine our devastation when the State Patrol showed up at our parent's house and told my mom that her husband, our father and our children's grandfather, was gone forever. One minute he was making plans for a fun weekend, and the next he was gone forever."
He even took the time to share his thoughts on his impressions of the area.
"Many people have said that they take alternate routes to avoid this intersection. If so many people are scared of this intersection, it makes me wonder why more has not been done to make it safer."
Through community reaction and discussion with the engineers, there were many possible options for making the intersection, including a proposal for a round-about.
But the road studies used by the engineers were not enough to satisfy those in the room.
"I need you to get in your pick-up and come out here and do a physical examination of what's going on out here," one concerned member of the audience told the engineers. "Because the studies that you've been doing and the way you've been doing it is not working."
A proposal like a round-about could take years and millions of dollars to complete, but Representative Mike Benson wants smaller measures taken now.
"Having somebody to come out and score the pavement to put rumble strips in until we get to a point, and I know that adds to the cost," says Benson, a Republican from Rochester, "but the fact is that if that can save one life between now and the round-abouts, that certainly is a smart investment."
While no decision was made from the meeting, the process for change has begun, and it is a journey that could lead to one less life lost.
Other options that were discussed at the meeting were the addition of rumble strips and reduced speeds as drivers enter Eyota.

If we talk of 'two cultures' today, it's not the divide between arts and sciences that we should have in mind.
The crucial issue is the gulf between commerce and higher education – especially between business and the humanities.
I don't think that much of the rancour that so annoyed English physicist and novelist Charles Percy Snow circa 1960, still exists. There is something really quite touching about his description of a Shakespeare scholar snubbing a physicist after dinner in a Cambridge college. It sounds like a report from another world.
But another version of the two cultures does exist, and it is even more important. The ways in which humanities people think of business and the way some business people think of the humanities puts Snow's common room bickering in the shade.

Chicago Public Schools employees have pulled back on a plan to remove 80-year-old murals from a school that is closing.CPS has more than 400 murals and other pieces of art from the Works Project Administration, which was a jobs program created by FDR in 1933 for people who were out of work.Parents were outraged on Thursday when workers started taking down murals at Lyman Trumbull Elementary on Chicago's Far North Side. Their reason was two-fold: parents are worried about whether the murals are being properly cared for, and they're not happy that their kids, whose school is closing, are watching the building being dismantled around them. "I don't have a lot of confidence in CPS's ability to take care of the living children that are being affected by these closures and I don't have much more confidence that they can take care of the historical artifacts either frankly," said CPS parent Cassie Cresswell.A Lane Tech teacher started the mural preservation project in 1994, and the Chicago Conservation Center spent two years finding and documenting what is now a collection of 400 murals. The CPS WPA collection is the largest remaining collection of early 20th century murals in the country. For decades, hundreds of thousands of students have attended school in the shadows of these works of art."Alumni from way back come in a look for the art work," said Wentworth Elementary Principal Dina Everage. "It is definitely part of the culture."On Thursday afternoon, CPS said that no murals would be removed from any schools until the end of the school year."When they are removed, the murals will be placed in protective storage to ensure they are preserved and secure until we determine a new public location for them, most likely in CPS schools," said Chief Communications Officer Becky Carroll.Carroll said that CPS is partnering with Parma Conservation to ensure that the removal and storage of all art from schools that are closing is handled professionally, and that CPS hopes to have the art reinstalled in what are being called "welcoming schools" by the first day of school.

High school students jump into college classes
In one corner of Miami-Dade College's sprawling Kendall, Fla., campus, Tiffany Pineda slips into class. Attenzione! It's time for Italian pronouns and grammar.
In jeans, a black tank top and red sneakers, she looks like a typical college student. But she's a 16-year-old high school junior.
Like Tiffany, a growing number of high school students are taking college courses before graduation, a practice called dual enrollment that rewards them with tuition-free college credits.
For high schools, it gives students a way to accelerate. It can also help lift the schools' academic standing; in 2010, Florida started to factor dual enrollment into state-issued letter grades.
That has created a surge in dual enrollment through Florida International University, according to FIU Provost Douglas Wartzok—an eight-fold over the last three years.
Across Florida, the number of students who participated in dual enrollment rose 23 percent last year.
In Miami-Dade, students can participate in a number of ways.
They can take a college class at their home school, taught by a Miami-Dade teacher who has been credentialed by FIU. FIU saw about 5,500 students enroll in classes at high schools last year.
A university professor can come to the high school to teach.
Students can take classes at a college campus.
Students can apply for early admission and take their senior year at a university.
At Westland Hialeah Senior High, about 230 of the 1,950 students—nearly 12 percent—take classes through FIU. Another 94 go to Miami-Dade College for courses. Those programs not only helped Westland Hialeah lift its grade to an A from a B, said Principal Guillermo Munoz, they also reflect a change in culture at the young school.
Dade schools and FIU share the expense of dual enrollment, which costs the public university about $250,000, Wartzok said. "As the school system gets better, the community gets better, and that's good for everyone, including the university."
The demand of dual enrollment programs in Broward, Fla., has grown so much that two high schools _ Coconut Creek and South Broward in Hollywood—are starting programs in which teachers accredited by Broward College will teach at the schools.
The two new projects will try to mimic the success of McArthur High School in Hollywood, Fla., where students can enroll in the "Mustang Academy," a section of college-level courses. Several teachers at Cooper City High and Coral Springs High are also licensed to teach dual enrollment courses.
The Broward School District has also established the College Academy at Broward College, where more than 300 juniors and seniors report to the Davie, Fla., campus instead of a traditional high school.
"We're developing some very strong partnerships," said Cynthia Park, director of advanced academic programs for Broward County Schools.
Park said that last year, about 2,000 students completed dual enrollment courses at Broward College and the Broward campuses of Florida Atlantic University and FIU.
"Most of them leave with their associate's degree, and it helps cut the cost of college in half," she said. "Financially, it's a good reason for many families."
Two Miami-Dade programs—the School for Advanced Studies at Miami-Dade College and the Academy for Advanced Studies at FIU—allow students to split their course load between college classes with university students and accelerated courses with other high schoolers.
"I like how I get to pick my own college classes. I get to pick classes I actually like _ the freedom of it," Tiffany said.
While Miami-Dade County Public Schools and Miami Dade College launched SAS in 1988, the program has grown in recent years.
Some 520 juniors and seniors study at its four Florida campuses, in Homestead, Kendall, North Miami-Dade and downtown Miami. The Kendall campus is the biggest, with 213 students. More than 800 people showed up at a recruitment event last fall at the Kendall campus—for 100 spots in the junior class. It draws students from public, private and parochial schools and home schoolers.
Several seniors in the School for Advanced Studies at the Kendall campus said they were looking for a challenge, like Ivan Cuartas who used to attend G. Holmes Braddock Senior High. "Now I'm getting humbled," said Cuartas, 18, who wants to be a chemical engineer.
"It's rigorous, but there's a small learning community where they can not only help each other but get help from their teachers," said Dennis Lindsay, a spokesman for SAS. "That alleviates some of the pressure."

Mayor Elizabeth Katuz has made many a proclamation in her day, but even so the decree she issued on Tuesday stood out. At the last council meeting, the mayor officially declared this upcoming Saturday "Michael W. Coughlin Day."
And who is Michael W. Coughlin? The short answer is that he is 's son, who is set to graduate from Carleton College this week.
The long answer is that he is, by all accounts, an academic powerhouse who already had a slew of honors on his curriculum vitae before his senior year. In her address to the council, Kautz recounted all of his accomplishments: The alumn of Sky Oaks Elementary and Trinity High, a private Christian school in Eagan, has been awarded the Patricia V. Damon Scholar Award, the National Merit Scholar Award, the Distinguished Scholar Award and the Kolenkow Reitz Physics Research Fellowship.
Michael Coughlin double-majored in Physics and Mathematics. In his spare time he authored articles on physics in technical journals, volunteered at his home church and his old elementary school and is also a ballroom dancer. After he graduates summa cum laude on June 9, he will travel to the United Kingdom to get a masters in Astronomy at Cambridge University, courtesy of the Winston Churchill Scholarship. Following that, he will study for his PhD in Physics at Harvard University beginning in the fall of 2013, thanks to a six-year fellowship covering all his expenses.
"It is a first in Burnsville. We're here to honor Michael Coughlin who has achieved academic excellence," Kautz said. "Thank you for allowing us to make a fuss over you. Your achievements are an inspiration to the young people here today and those watching."
For his part, Michael Coughlin thanked the city.
"I am incredibly grateful and unbelievably humbled about all of this hullaballoo," he said. "It's really unbelievable."

According to a press release issued by the city Tuesday, Phase I of the Westside Infrastructure Improvements Project an integral component of the overall long-term goal of constructing a six million-gallon-per-day desalination water treatment plant is now complete.
The initial phase consisted of 24-inch water pipeline that stretches from a westside booster station to Luz Gate Road. The pipeline eventually will connect to an as-of-yet not operational mobile desalination facility and the Snake Tank Well Field, north of the city, according to city officials.
The mobile desalination facility will treat brackish water through a concentrated, pressure-induced filtration and reverse-osmosis membrane brine system, producing fresh potable water.
According to the city, Phase II of the Westside Infrastructure Project will complete the pipeline from the westside booster station to the initial mobile facility at the La Luz water treatment plant.
Phase III will extend a pipeline to the Snake Tank well field.
The city completed Phase 1 with a loan from New Mexico Finance Authority Drinking Water Revolving (EPA) Loan Fund and initially requested $6.5 million but only used $4.7 million on the project.
The city recently received about $2.6 million from the New Mexico Finance Authority to use on the project, which it hopes will help offset projected water shortages in the coming decades.
The city received permission from the federal government last year to construct wells and deliver water into the city for municipal use.

It's not uncommon for people to ask, "What are tonsils?" After all, they don't have a use that immediately comes to mind, like the hand does, for instance. Let's dig into what tonsils are and the function they serve.
There are actually three pairs of tonsils in the throat:
- pharyngeal tonsils (adenoids), which reside behind your nose
- two palatine tonsils (what people are most commonly referring to when they say the word 'tonsils'), which reside on both sides of the back of the throat
- lingual tonsils, which are at the back of the tongue
A bit contrary to their function the tonsils can also become infected. When examining your tonsils, a physician will usually use your medical history, a physical exam, and in some cases an x-ray (to further examine the adenoids) or blood tests (to determine whether mononucleosis is the cause of tonsil enlargement). Tonsil enlargement is not always considered a problem. However, individuals with enlarged tonsils should be evaluated for the following possible problems related to enlarged tonsils:
- chronic ear infections
- hearing loss
- frequent tonsillitis or sinus infections despite medical treatment
- frequent nose bleeds
- continual mouth-breathing
- abnormal speech or difficulty swallowing
- obstructive sleep apnea
The tonsils can be surgically removed. This is called a tonsillectomy. At one point, physicians removed tonsils after just one or two infections. Due to the risks associated with removing the tonsils, surgeons have become much more conservative. That said, tonsillectomy is frequently performed in the United States and complications are rare.

The full FIGO -- International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics -- ovarian cancer surgical staging system is based on Roman numerals as well as letters to designate sub-stages. In general, prognosis depends more upon the main Stage. However, the sub-stages can also be important in deciding between treatment recommendations. Read more in the Treatment Options topic on this site.
Stage I - The cancer is limited to the ovaries
IA - Limited to one ovary and the outer ovarian capsule is not ruptured. There is no tumor on the external surface of the ovary and there is no ascites and/or the washings are negative.
IB - Cancer is present in both ovaries, but the outer capsule is intact and there is no tumor on external surface. There is no ascites and the washings are negative.
IC - The cancer is either Stage IA or IB level but the capsule is ruptured or there is tumor on the ovarian surface or malignant cells are present in ascites or washings.
Stage II - Cancer involves one or both ovaries with spread to other pelvic organs or surfaces.
IIA - Extension or implants onto the uterus and/or fallopian tube. The washings are negative washings and there is no ascites.
IIB - Extension or implants onto other pelvic tissues. The washings are negative and there is no ascites.
IIC - Pelvic extension or implants like Stage IIA or IIB but with positive pelvic washings
Stage III - Cancer spread outside the pelvis to the abdominal area, including metastases to liver surface
IIIA - Tumor is grossly confined to the pelvis but with micro-scopic peritoneal metastases beyond pelvis to abdominal peritoneal surfaces or the omentum.
IIIB - Same as IIIA but with macro-scopic peritoneal or omental metastases beyond pelvis less than 2 cm in size
IIIC - Same as IIIA but with peritoneal or omental metastases beyond pelvis, larger than 2 cm or lymph node metastases to inguinal, pelvic, or para-aortic areas.
Stage IV - Metastases or spread to the liver or outside the peritoneal cavity to areas such as the chest or brain.

Chase contender Kyle Busch crashes in practice
KANSAS CITY, Kan. (AP) - Chase contender Kyle Busch slapped the wall hard in the opening minutes of practice at Kansas Speedway on Saturday and will go to a backup car for this weekend's race.
A few minutes later, his older brother Kurt Busch backed into the wall in Turn 2.
Kyle Busch, who is third in points, had just gotten onto the track for practice when his car wiggled in the corner. He slapped hard into the outside wall, flattening one of the sides and crumpling the rear of his No. 18 Toyota.
He was released from the infield car center but did not speak to reporters.
Practice for Sunday's race had just resumed when Kurt Busch got loose and backed into the wall. Busch, who is ninth in points, also will go to a backup.

Bergeron, Datsyuk, Toews selected as Selke finalists
New York, NY (Sports Network) - Patrice Bergeron of the Boston Bruins, Pavel Datsyuk of the Detroit Red Wings and Jonathan Toews of the Chicago Blackhawks have been named finalists for the Selke Trophy as the top defensive forward in the NHL.
Bergeron, the winner of this award last year, scored 10 goals and dished out 22 assists in 42 games this season. The 27-year-old posted a team-best plus-24 rating and led all NHL players in faceoff percentage, winning puck drops at a 62.1 percent rate.
Bergeron and Steve Kasper (1982) are the only Bruins to win the Selke. If Bergeron captures the award again this year, he would become the sixth-ever to win it in consecutive years, joining Datsyuk (2008-10), Rod Brind'Amour (2006-07), Jere Lehtinen (1998-99), Guy Carbonneau (1988-89) and Bob Gainey (1978-81).
Datsyuk, who is trying to win his fourth Selke, had 15 goals and 34 assists in 47 games. The 34-year-old tied for the league lead with 56 takeaways, while his 30 blocked shots were second among Red Wings forwards.
Toews posted 23 goals and 25 assists in 47 games. The 25-year-old tied Datsyuk for the league lead with 56 takeaways and finished second to Bergeron in faceoff winning percentage at 59.9 percent.
If Toews wins, he would join Dirk Graham (1991) and Troy Murray (1986) as Blackhawks to win the Selke.
The winner will be announced during the 2013 Stanley Cup Finals.

What is a CPM machine?
Continuous Passive Motion machines
(CPM Machines) gently move a surgically repaired joint (knee, shoulder, elbow, etc.) in order to help keep the joint flexible and lubricated. CPM machines have been proven to:
reduce swelling
reduce pain
maintain and increase Range of Motion (ROM)
inhibit formation of scar tissue
A patient's joint,
while placed in a CPM machine
, moves in a comfortable, slow and rhythmic pattern. By increasing the fluid movement around the repaired joint, the continuous passive movement helps to reduce swelling, while also reducing pain. The continuous passive motion helps to keep the joint flexible and helps to increase the patient's range of motion, reducing the risk of complications.
Continuous Passive Motion as a Proven Therapy
Continuous Passive Motion (CPM) is a treatment generally used after orthopedic surgery and has been practiced for over 30 years. After surgery, stiffness and pain are associated with bleeding and swelling which cause discomfort.
CPM machine's have proven to reduce pain
after surgeries by helping to stimulate blood flow. The Continuous Passive Motion machines have been proven to be successful in preventing the development of stiffness if full motion is applied and continued until swelling dissipates.
If would like more information, please call one of our friendly representatives at 877.301.4276.
To see a knee CPM machine in action, please watch our informational CPM Video below.

Shell has launched a website that refers motorists looking to service their cars to franchised workshops listed on its database.
Users of the Shell Car Servicing Network service enter their car details and location into the website, which then generates a list of local dealers and franchise workshops and instant quotes from which the customer can review and select preferred options.
Individual enquiries made by users are sent to the dealerships who contact users directly to confirm a price and set up an appointment.
The service is free with users paying the price of the vehicle servicing that they agree with the workshop.
The launch of the scheme coincides with the release of new research showing 24% of consumers have cut back on servicing to reduce costs.
The Shell Car Servicing Network only offers main dealer car servicing and MOTs to vehicles 3 years and older that are out of their warranty period.
It does not cover all main dealerships in any given area and consists of participants from Shell's franchise dealer network.
Carmakers not taking part include Porsche, Ferrari, Aston Martin and Bentley.
Johnny Ellis, UK sales manager, Shell Lubricants said: "We believe the launch of The Shell Car Servicing Network will be a welcome lead generation tool for many main dealers and franchised workshops, which might have seen a decline in car servicing bookings recently."

Sousou & Maher Cissoko at Embassy of Sweden March 12March 3, 2013
Swedish/Sengalese couple Sousou & Maher Cissoko share a destiny shaped by music. Sousou grew up in southern Sweden and fell in love with the kora, a West African stringed instrument when her father started playing with the Gambian griot Alagie Mbye. Maher Cissouko was born into a well-known griot family from Casamance, Senegal, and learned to play the kora at an early age.
West African music mixed with influences of reggae, mbalax, pop, folk, soul and blues has made this couple popular in Scandinavia and around the world.
Together they will share their musical story at Embassy of Sweden on March 12 at Embassy of Sweden.
Doors open at 6:00 pm. Show starts at 6:30 pm.

Recently, we took a look at some of the most extreme pitches hit for home runs during 2011. More recently, we took a look at some of the worst swings in 2011. I had a lot of fun mining through mountains of data and going over video archives in preparing these features, and after the worst swings feature, I felt like more could be done. I just wasn't sure what. Thankfully, a friend gave me an idea.
The worst pitches of the 2011 season. It's such a natural follow-up to the season's worst swings. It's not such a natural follow-up that it occurred to me, but it's a sufficiently natural follow-up that it occurred to my friend, and then I thought, "duh." It's that natural a follow-up. So I took to the data, and I took to the .gif-making. Due to the apparent limitations of Microsoft Excel, this research took a lot longer than the previous research, but I think you'll find it was worth it. It was definitely worth it to you, since you didn't do anything.
I decided Wednesday night that I would prepare this piece for Friday morning. You can imagine my horrified surprise when I saw that, on Thursday, FanGraphs published "The Worst Pitches of 2011." Fortunately, they took a different approach. They looked at the least effective pitch types. I'm going with a countdown of the worst individual pitches.
You might expect that the worst pitches would be a bunch of pitches down the middle. That's not what I'm going to present. Pitches down the middle aren't always so bad. They're very frequently not so bad. What I'm going to show you are last season's 10 pitches the farthest from the center of the strike zone. You can think of them as last season's wildest pitches, if you like. The perfect way to do this would be to compare pitch location against intended pitch location, but we don't have data on intended pitch location. I'm using the center of the strike zone to approximate. Rest assured that all of the pitches shown below are very bad pitches.
I was kind of disappointed with the worst swings, because having so many checked swings left a bitter taste in my mouth. So did finishing with a botched hit-and-run. I'm far less disappointed with this collection of clips of athletes being terrible. I think it's time we get started with the countdown. I don't know why I've written all these words.
- Henry Rodriguez vs. Rafael Furcal
- July 23
- 69.6 inches from center of zone
Just spectacularly bad. Henry Rodriguez was in a 3-and-0 count. His catcher called for a fastball. Rodriguez threw a fastball. His fastball made some people sitting behind home plate recoil out of fear. They were not even sitting directly behind home plate. But wait, it gets worse! Here's the whole sequence:
Rodriguez threw that fastball with two outs and a runner on third in a one-run game. The runner scored on the wild pitch. I haven't actually checked to see if this was ruled a wild pitch or a passed ball but I'm pretty confident in my assumption. The Dodgers wound up beating the Nationals 7-6. Rodriguez was tagged with a blown save. His appearance lasted an inning, with three walks and 19 balls in 31 pitches.
- Dan Cortes vs. Johnny Damon
- Aug. 21
- 70.2 inches from center of zone
Two outs. Runner on third. Close game. This Dan Cortes pitch sure looks an awful lot like Henry Rodriguez's pitch above. Again, let's look at the whole sequence:
Rodriguez's pitch allowed a runner to score. Cortes' pitch wound up with an inning-ending out at home plate. The tie was preserved. In a way you could argue this was actually one of the better pitches of the 2011 season. But I'm not judging by play results. I'm judging by pitches. This was a really bad pitch. It was a slightly worse pitch than Rodriguez's pitch.
The Mariners didn't score in the top of the ninth, by the way. In the bottom of the ninth, Damon led off against Cortes and blasted the first pitch for a homer.
- Andrew Brackman vs. Sean Rodriguez
- Sept. 22
- 70.5 inches from center of zone
It's usually terrifying when a pitcher throws behind a batter. Oftentimes a pitcher will throw behind a batter on purpose to send a message. Sean Rodriguez wasn't terrified. Sean Rodriguez barely reacted at all. That's how far behind Sean Rodriguez Andrew Brackman threw this pitch. Look at how casually the catcher requests a new ball. "Yep, looks like he's up to this shit again."
- Sergio Santos vs. Willie Bloomquist
- June 19
- 70.7 inches from center of zone
Six-run game. Bottom of the ninth. Nobody on base. Two outs. Two strikes. Willie Bloomquist at the plate. This pitch. This pitch is literally all the proof you need that Sergio Santos' command is kind of ehhh.
- Guillermo Mota vs. Jimmy Paredes
- Aug. 27
- 71.2 inches from center of zone
This pitch is a horrible pitch for a couple of reasons. One, it was thrown horribly, crossing the plane at the front of the plate 71.2 inches away from the center of the strike zone. Two, it was an attempted quick-pitch. You notice how Mota doesn't come set? He was trying to catch the batter off guard. Watch the clip. The batter is ready. The person Mota caught off guard was his catcher, who wasn't looking.
- Brett Myers vs. Josh Harrison
- July 15
- 71.7 inches from center of zone
Myers: WHO THE SWEET F*** IS JOSH HARRISON
Myers: I MEAN I DON'T EVEN
Myers: WHY DO WE
Myers: GODDDDDDDD
Myers: I HATE THESE MOTHERF***ING GAMES
Myers: BETWEEN THE MOTHERF***ING ASTROS
Myers: AND THE MOTHERF***ING PIRATES
Myers: /spike
Myers: YEAHH
- Mike Gonzalez vs. Travis Buck
- April 16
- 72.2 inches from center of zone
One time Mike Gonzalez was watching a football game and during a Sounds of the Game segment, the TV showed a player on the sidelines hooting and hollering in response to a touchdown. The hooting and hollering awoke Gonzalez's newborn baby in the next room whom Gonzalez had spent 45 minutes getting to sleep. Ever since then Mike Gonzalez has had it out for parabolic microphones.
- John Lannan vs. Colby Rasmus
- April 20
- 73.2 inches from center of zone
With a runner on first base, John Lannan uncorked the third-worst pitch of the entire 2011 baseball season. It was received so cleanly that the runner - Ryan Theriot - didn't advance. Ivan Rodriguez is amazing.
- David Robertson vs. Troy Tulowitzki
- June 26
- 73.9 inches from center of zone
In the last clip, we saw Ivan Rodriguez do something amazing. In this clip we see Russell Martin react like a big stupid baby. Incidentally, David Robertson is officially listed at 5-foot-11. That works out to 71 inches. This pitch was 73.9 inches away from the center of the strike zone. David Robertson's pitch was more than a full him away from the center of the strike zone.
- Colby Lewis vs. Reid Brignac
- June 1
- 81.1 inches from center of zone
Lewis: Let's assume that there are other realities.
Lewis: Let's just assume.
Lewis: Other realities, very similar to this one, with a few differences.
Lewis: Those alternate realities exist in alternate universes.
Lewis: Alternate universes perhaps accessible from this one.
Lewis: Might there also be alternate strike zones?
Lewis: Alternate strike zones accessible from this reality?
Lewis: Alternate strike zones in unusual places?
Lewis: I throw this pitch in the name of science!
Lewis: /throws horrible pitch
Umpire: Ball
Lewis: dang

Sprott Resource Corp. (SCP-T)
Target: C$5.00 Sprott Resource initiates monthly dividend; yields 11.8% Just sold Waseca Energy and has cash to give away.
With its shares trading at a significant discount to book value, SCP has been aggressively buying back its shares under its NCIB ($38 million year to datein 2012); however, it has not had an appreciable impact on the company's share price
.We believe that the new dividend policy broadens SCP's appeal to investors, particularly retail investors, given the high demand for yield in the current low interest rate environment. The yeild will probable be flexible due to market movement but still okay.

I just noticed, but this Thursday the Bucks are playing at 7:30 while the Browns kick off their final preason game at 8. I don't know about you, but I'm going to spend my night watching the Browns.
I know, it sounds completely insane. Why miss most of season opener for OSU when the Browns are going to play mostly back-ups? Easy, The Browns are THAT much more important to me than the Buckeyes ever will be.
Which one will YOU be paying the most attention too and why?

CATEGORIES Drama, Casting, CinematicalWhen you look at Javier Bardem, do you think: "Gee, he'd look great in a dress!" or, "Gee, he'd make a good woman?" No? Well then, you're right in line with Francis Ford Coppola. According to The Hollywood Reporter, he's made a big change in his upcoming film, Tetro, giving what he calls a "sex change" to the character Bardem was set to play. So, Bardem is out and fellow Spaniard Carmen Maura (Volver) is in.
During rehearsals for the shoot, Coppola realized that things needed to be changed: "One of the important roles in the script is a mentor and teacher to Tetro (Vincent Gallo), and I originally wrote it for a man. As I read and reread (the script), I felt that the interaction between the two characters would be far more intriguing if they were of the opposite sex." However, other sources have told THR that Bardem "became unavailable." This could be true, as the actor wasn't available for the rehearsals in Buenos Aires. But if it is, why not say as much?
Whatever the case, you can be sure that Maura will give a very different performance than Bardem would have -- just like Gallo will definitely bring something very different to the table than Matt Dillon. The film follows Tetro, a man living in Buenos Aires and being mentored by Maura's literary critic, when his estranged younger brother (Alden Ehrenreich) comes to find him. Production began on March 31.

If one of your colleagues have ended up with a broken bone, there are a few things you can do until professional help arrives. First of all, make sure that the patient is supporting the injury. No unneeded movements must be made because they can aggravate the wound. You can use clothes or cushion in order to prevent these movements. Everything is a lot easier if the patient is conscious and can communicate or pay attention to your advice, especially when it comes to more severe wounds.

The city of Stockton became of age during the Gold Rush era. When gold was discovered, Stockton became a staging center for miners who were arriving from San Francisco by riverboat headed for the southern mine of the Mother Lode. As the mines ran dry, miners returned to the San Joaquin Valley to farm the rich soil. Riverboats transported a steady stream of products to San Francisco and from there the products were transported to foreign markets. Flourmills and grain elevators once lined the Stockton waterfront. Stockton has become one of the fastest developing warehousing and distribution centers in California. Once again with the rich land, agriculture is the number one product. Stockton attracts a wide range of business and recreational activities. With the City being on the waters of the San Joaquin/Sacramento Delta offers boating, fishing, water skiing, sailing and many fine restaurants which cater to the water enthusiasts. Stockton is also home to many arts and cultural activities, music, theater, and literary events, which many are held at San Joaquin Delta College and the infamous, University of the Pacific.

WASHINGTON, D.C. — A newly released federal study indicates that 8 percent of all drivers, as many as 17 million people, have driven drunk at least once during the past year.
The research by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) also reveals that about one in five Americans have driven within two hours of drinking alcohol in the past year. Four out of five Americans identified drunken driving as a "major threat" to their own and their family's safety.
The survey noted that those who reported that they drink and drive consumed alcohol more regularly than those who drink but choose not to drive afterward. More than one in four drinking drivers, 28 percent, consumed alcoholic beverages three or more days a week, compared to 10 percent of drivers who drink but do not drive afterward.
To view the survey, click here.
In related news, the U.S. Department of Transportation last week kicked off the annual "Drunk Driving. Over the Limit. Under Arrest" campaign aimed at getting intoxicated drivers off the road.
"Drunk driving is deadly, it's against the law and, unfortunately, it's still a problem," Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood said. "With the help of law enforcement around the country, we are going to continue doing all that we can to stop drunk driving and the needless tragedies that result from this reckless behavior."
The law enforcement crackdown runs through Labor Day and involves thousands of police agencies across the nation. Enforcement efforts are supported by $13 million in television and radio advertising from NHTSA.
"Our message is loud and clear: If you drive drunk, you will be arrested and prosecuted," NHTSA Administrator David Strickland said. "There will be no exceptions and no excuses."

Featured review from Greg
view more less of this review
It was a cute production - the extras ("Groupies") get to do their own numbers, unlike the Web show production, which were pretty funny - though the actors really needed voice work. They were frequently off key, and the woman playing Penny wasn't terribly interesting to watch. The guys playing Dr. Horrible and Captain Hammer were more entertaining. The ACT venue gave good views, and the props on the set were very well done (and funny), but they needed to turn up the mics - it was hard to hear several characters.

I didn't rate this show immediately after I saw it since there were no more tickets available. But, in the chance that they do put this on again, it is so much fun - especially if you are a fan of Dr. Horrible or Joss Whedon. Took my teenage kids...continued

There's something so incredibly magical and mysterious about the Orient. So many movies such as 'The Last Samurai' or 'Geisha' summon to mind a world of deep tradition, deep respect and sometimes deep secrets. Imagine capturing these qualities in a carpet or unique rug? That's exactly what Brabetz Carpets did in their 'Styles of the World' Oriental Collection.
Their Brabetz Oriental Collection features patterns and themes of the key elements one associates with the Orient such as Bamboo leaves, Cherry Blossom and Koi fish. Normally, one wouldn't think of putting a Koi fish rug in their home but when you view how striking the design is, you can see the appeal and easily picture in your living room.
Brabetz Oriental Collection is more than just creative floor covering, it is in truth a work of art. These patterns are distinct and create a surprising feature in your home. The calm shades of many of the carpets allow for easy blending with current styles and décor designs. For example, this lovely Bamboo carpet could easily work in a neutral, minimalist setting and in fact, add to the meditative atmosphere.
This Cherry Blossom pattern from the Brabetz Oriental Collection is delightful and would work wonderfully in a contemporary atmosphere, or even a young girl's room. The collection boasts a large selection of styles, patterns and colours to choose from to create a wonderfully characterful accent in your home.

Drive down a Texas highway and you're likely to see this sign. "Left lane for passing only." But some drivers will stay in the left lane which brings us to the first question.
True or False: It is legal to drive faster in the far left lane on a divided highway than in any other lane.
The answer is false. DPS Trooper Sparky Dean says, "There is no such thing as a fast lane. The speed limit is the same no matter what lane you drive in. The left lane is for passing a slower vehicle. In fact, you should stay in the right lane, unless you are passing a slower moving vehicle." When "Left lane for passing only" signs are posted, violators can be fined up to $200 for impeding traffic.
Something that definitely impedes traffic is drunk drivers. Safety experts say there is a two in five chance that sometime in your life you will be involved in an alcohol related crash.
What is the best defense against drunk drivers?
A. Driving in the far left lane
B. Wearing a safety belt
C. Driving with your lights on.
The correct answer is B., wearing your safety belt. DPS Trooper Robyn Wilson says, "If an intoxicated driver hits you, you're much less likely to get injured or killed if you're buckled up. You won't get thrown from your vehicle and the crumple zone of the vehicle itself may protect you." In Texas, nearly half of all traffic fatalities in 2002 involved drunk drivers.
It's speed not drinking that is the leading cause of all traffic crashes in Texas.
True or False: Drivers can be ticketed for driving at or below the posted speed limit.
The answer is true. DPS Trooper Wilson says, "We can give you a ticket for driving the posted speed limit when road conditions make it unsafe to do so. The violation is called unsafe speed. And whether it's because of rain, fog, ice or even heavy traffic, always adjust your speed based on conditions." Don't forget, posted highway speed limits are slower at night than in the day-time.

The first round is slowly moving forward as we are still working out some of the kinks in an exercise that no one has ever done like this before. Cycle Like The Sedins has done an incredible job coordinating the efforts of 30 blogs and websites, launching a forum and message board for the draft, and trying to find some way to regulate it all.
Once we've got everything settled we'll have a set schedule for the draft. For now, here are the current results of the draft:
I also saw a bunch of you guys talking about working together to figure out our strategy moving forward, which is awesome because this is a community exercise for Defending Big D. If you do want to do something like that in more detail, feel free to create a FanPost to discuss which direction we should go with our next pick.

Indian River County Health Department advises it is not too late to get your flu shot.
National Influenza Vaccination Week is December 2-8 and Indian River County Health Department is encouraging residents who have not received a flu shot this season to get vaccinated now. Over 200,000 people are hospitalized in the United States each year from flu complications and flu associated deaths are in the thousands (CDC, 2012).
"We want our residents to be healthy and enjoy this time of year, and getting vaccinated is the best step you can take to help protect yourself from the flu," said Indian River County Health Department Administrator, Miranda Hawker.
Everyone is encouraged to get their flu shot, especially those who are at higher risk of developing serious flu-related complications, including:
• Pregnant women
• Children younger than 5, but especially children younger than 2 years old
• People 65 years of age and older
• People of any age with certain chronic medical conditions (such as asthma, diabetes, heart and lung disease)
Additionally, it is important that those who have a greater potential of spreading the virus to others who are high risk also get vaccinated, including:
• People who live in nursing homes and other long-term care facilities
• Health care workers
• Household contacts of persons at high risk for complications from the flu
• Household contacts and out of home caregivers of children less than 6 months of age (these children are too young to be vaccinated)
Flu shots are offered at a variety of locations throughout Indian River County, and for children ages 2 through 18, they are offered at no cost at Indian River County Health Department, located at 1900 27th Street in Vero Beach. This time of year should be about enjoying family and friends, so take the time to get your flu shot and protect yourself and your loved ones against the flu. It's not too late—get your flu shot today!

One thing I have noticed in my time following blueshirt banter is that a huge part of the community, taking after their leader Joe, are major culprits of confirmation bias, and even more prominently, selective exposure. This is true first and foremost in regards to our prospects, and system as a whole. No one wants to see any opinion of a prospect or the system in general that doesn't mesh with their own preconceived thoughts (hopes?). This is convenient as by definition these guys have not truly succeeded or failed yet, so among the crowd every successful game means Gordie is a genius, while every misstep is accompanied by the "he's just (fill in age)." This was extremely clear in regard to Mr. Grachev, he of the meteoric rise to "top prospect" status, followed by the steady fall into near irrelevancy. This path was filled by many trying to discount his failures and insist that trading him "would be insanity." "Just imagine how good he will be in a couple years....." was the common refrain.
While he may be the most evident example it is far from the only one. Every "In Gordie We Trust" I see I am forced to laugh at. Chris Kreider may be a great pick, or he can be yet another first round bust. At this point that is unknown. Christian Thomas looks like a worthwhile gamble, but he still has barriers in the way of any NHL success. Dylan Mcllrath is hardly proof as genius as he is still a project and clearly in hindsight the better pick would have been Cam Fowler. And of course never a mention of all the failures.
Long story short, this post was prompted by me seeing an alternative and slightly more critical view of the Rangers farm system, and coming to blueshirt banter to see some discussion on it only to see it not mentioned. Nowhere. Every other obscure prospect ranking that ever is fond of a ranger prospect always seems to be noted, but Corey Pronman of Hockey Prospectus' top 10 list with explanations and overviews does not make its way onto the site.
Regardless, here is a link: http://www.hockeyprospectus.com/article.php?articleid=1038
Thoughts, everyone?
And I apologize for the excessive ranting above.

A Lake Charles man is accused of stalking and cruelty to the infirm, according to a news release from Calcasieu Parish Sheriff's Office spokesperson Kim Myers.
Myers said 55-year-old Patrick C. Miller was arrested Monday and is facing 12 counts of stalking and one count of cruelty to the infirm.
Myers said authorities were called to a Lake Charles home Monday in reference to a complaint of stalking and elderly abuse.
Miller is alleged to have made several "threatening and intimidating" calls to two family members. He is also accused of going to their homes on numerous occasions after multiple requests not to, the release states.
Miller is also alleged to have physically abused a family member, who is 84, by shaking him "violently."
"When questioned by detectives, Miller confirmed that he grabbed the elderly family member and shook him and also confirmed that he continuously called and went to the family member's home even after numerous requests not to do so," Myers said in the release.
Miller's bond was set at $37,000.

|Rep. Brian K. Sims
182nd Legislative District
Philadelphia County
Sims to receive national 'Champion of Choice' award from NARAL Pro-Choice America
HARRISBURG, Jan. 30 – State Rep. Brian Sims, D-Phila., will be honored Tuesday by NARAL Pro-Choice America with a national "Champion of Choice" award in Washington, D.C.
"As President Obama said in the State of the Union, when women succeed, America succeeds! As a first-term representative, I am humbled and honored to receive this national award for my defense of women's rights, and I will continue to stand up for those rights and oppose the attacks on them. Women's rights are human rights," Sims said.
Sims is strongly pro-choice and attracted national acclaim for his impassioned defense of women's rights during an April 2013 state House debate on legislation that restricts a woman's right to an abortion and access to health care by putting government restrictions on private insurance companies and how women can spend their own money.
"NARAL Pro-Choice America is proud to recognize Representative Brian Sims as an ally and tireless champion for reproductive rights as we celebrate our 45th year fighting to make sure that every woman in America is free to exercise her right to choose," said Karen Ritter, board vice chairwoman of NARAL Pro-Choice America and former board chairwoman of NARAL Pro-Choice Pennsylvania. "As a lawyer and ardent defender of the Constitution, Representative Sims recognizes when lawmakers seek to curtail those rights and is a powerful voice against policies that discriminate against women."
As a member of the Women's Health Caucus in the legislature, Sims is sponsoring one of the caucus' bills with Rep. Erin Molchany, D-Allegheny. House Bill 1890 would clarify and update the legal standards for pay-equity lawsuits. The bill would also strengthen anti-retaliation protections for employees attempting to bring a pay-equity lawsuit against their employer and those who share information about their pay.
Sims also supports the rest of the caucus' proactive agenda, which also includes workplace accommodations for pregnant women, sanitary conditions for nursing mothers, increased eligibility for breast and cervical cancer screenings, protections for domestic violence victims and a ban on intimate partner harassment (sometimes called "revenge porn").
The awards ceremony will take place at the Washington Hilton in Washington, D.C. at 7 p.m. Tuesday.

The Democratic candidate for the US senate seat is former State Representative Paul Sadler.
His watch party is at the Driskill Hotel.
Paul Sadler remains confident. He says he has noticed a definite shift in the past 10 days. People are stopping him and telling him they voted for him.
He is seeing a lot of activity on his Facebook page, we're talking millions of new hits.
FOX 7 caught up with Sadler this afternoon at his office in downtown Austin. He says today is about thanking his volunteers and the voters. He did make a couple stops at polling places and this is his message for those who maybe haven't made up their minds just yet.
"I'm the most qualified candidate. I have a record that you can depend upon. You don't have to guess what kind of legislator I'm gonna be. I'm gonna be bi-partisan. I'm gonna try to solve problems, that my history. Everyone that has written about me, from Texas monthly to George Bush and his book of charts to keep, have all described me that way. You don't have to guess what you're getting with me. My opponent doesn't have a record, never been elected, never served in any capacity, and so, to me, that's where the risk is and that's the difference," said Sadler.
Sadler was a State Rep. From 1991 through 2002. He is big on education and women's healthcare.
He's been endorsed by the Austin American Statesman, The Dallas Morning News, San Antonio Paper and several others.

Witnesses testified regarding the security and solvency of private pension funds in America. Senators expressed concern that that the federal government would be forced to pay if the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation failed. Emphasis was placed on avoiding this situation, and comparisons were made to the savings and loan bailout of the late 1980s, which cost taxpayers approximately $120 billion. Witnesses talked about the problems facing pension funds and possible changes in relevant rules and regulations. close

text: I'll keep this review short and to the point, seeing as how I don't listen to this record all too often. Stratovarius, hailing from Finland, are one of the most well-known acts in the power metal scene. Forming in the mid-80s, they released a long string of albums beginning with Fright Night (1989). Visions is their sixth (if I am correct) album, released in 1997 under Modern Music. Highlights include opener "The Kiss of Judas", anthemic single "Black Diamond", the vocal-driven "Forever Free", chilling ballad "Before the Winter" and the fast headbanger "Legions". The album features energetic riffs and killer solos from Timo Tolkki, some insane drumming from Jorg Michael, complemented by Timo Kotipelto's soaring voice. Although I think Kotipelto's vocals could have been a little better, and some songs too, Visions is a great metal album reinventing the classic style of Iron Maiden and Judas Priest. Check it out if you're into this genre, especially for fans of Hammerfall and Sonata Arctica.
