Everyone exaggerates- even you and I. We do it to support our position and opinions.
As for fraud - I saw a lady in front of me Sunday use the LoneStar card - fact is - I don't know whether she was beating the system. With a chicken and two loaves of bread - I would rather think she was feeding her children.
Fraud is all around us - honesty is not important in the USA today.October 3, 2011 at 8:25 a.m.
A little role reversal.
Question: Do you think anyone would lie or exaggerate about potential welfare fraud incident?
Question: Do you think a corporation would place a sign stating " the unemployed need not apply?" ....meaning that if you have been unemployed for six months or more, they won't take your application.
Question: Where is fraud more prevalent? Is it welfare fraud, Wall Street, banks, insurance or defense spending? I'm talking dollar amount.
The reason I'm asking these questions in just to show how people's emotions can be manipulated. This blog was about Health Care but was turned around to food stamps. If it's that rampant,then let's put a specific dollar mark on it, investigate and support the need for more investigators or do away with the safety net altogether because if we don't do that these people will always be under the microscope of gossip.
We have some major problems such as spending two billion dollars a week in Afghanistan while Americans are suffering with more than 14% unemployment. Wall Street devastated our country, yet no one has been hauled off in handcuffs but if we continue to keep our eyes focused like a laser beam on the less important stuff, the major problems will be ignored as always.
Have a good nightSeptember 29, 2011 at 4:59 p.m.
I wasn't really tying welfare abuse to any president but wondering if you were blaming this president for the recent rise in food stamps recipients. It's a common notion out there.
I don't know for certain how much welfare abuse there was before the downturn; perhaps you can provide some substantiated written data or a link. That would be interesting to check out.
The good paying jobs that are open right now do not have enough qualified people according to several corporate CEOs. I'm talking about jobs across the United States not and one at the local McDonalds. I never take my assumptions or observations as fact.
8.7 million jobs were lost since the recession began and and one to two million jobs were lost after the recovery from that recession.
First of all, we will be at around 9% for another year or so and the new norm will probably be ~7% because we are in a world financial crisis. Even if our demand picks up in our country, that doesn't mean that other countries can afford our exports.
I lost my notes but don't quote me on this I think there are only about 171 million jobs out there. I'm not willing to place a percentage on those that are unwilling to work because I simply don't have the facts and I want to maintain some sort of credibility.September 29, 2011 at 4:11 p.m.
We will have to agree to disagree.
I never said it was Obama or Bush or Clinton - dishonest people don't give a hoot about who is President. Frankly voting against all the encumbents just makes me feel better.
As for unemployment - there are certainly a lot on welfare that date back well before the down turn. I remember when unemployment was 4 to 5 % and you could not give a job away. Tells me there is a hard core 4 to 5% who just won't work. So is unemployment at 9% or or 4% if you subtract out the 5% that just won't work?September 29, 2011 at 3:38 p.m.
I can't say anything that hasn't already been said and you are most certainly entitled to your opinion.
It won't change at the voting booth because we already have a welfare system where it's two years and you're out. Welfare reform was a bipartisan act. You can't on one hand cry for welfare fraud investigations, then layoff welfare investigators ,in your first budget cuts. Whether you want to believe it or not; these people are human beings with the same lawful rights of an investigation, which takes months and money. I don't think any living American likes welfare fraud unless they are the ones abusing the system. If your insinuating that because more people are now on food stamps, it's because of President Obama, then you are forgetting he wasn't even in office when the 2008 financial crisis hit. The administration did add food stamps and extension of unemployment benefits for two important reasons; you might not agree with that. The administration wanted to lay down the floor of suffering for those who would be affected the most. They knew the poor would be hit the hardest and the second would be the unemployed. It was in there stimulus package but all was not lost because for every dollar spent on food stamps provides about $1.70 in economic benefit for every dollar spent,and unemployment compensation it's about $1.34..Read more.
"Moody's economists also say that food stamps have the most stimulative impact on the economy.
Sometimes I'm amused when people say able bodied people need to go to work because I bet most of them would love to but we have about 25% unemployed or under employed, related to the financial crisis. Are there some taking unemployment benefits that shouldn't, I wouldn't be surprised if they wer,e but we have laws in place to take care of that. I bet most would trade places with you,in a heart beat.
The republican and democratic solutions for Health Care are already out there. Republicans want to repeal the current health care bill thereby losing parents keeping adult children on their insurance until they're 26 years old and not being denied for pre existing conditions. If the republicans were successful at repealing the health care law (highly unlikely) their only solution to date have been buying private insurance across state lines,tort reform. and Health Savings Accounts. Democrats would keep the one we have now but would constantly make the appropriate fixes. Health Care would not have been a major part of the debates if not for the current law being challenged in the Supreme Court sometime in June. This is why, Mitt Romney is now defending what he implemented in Massachusetts; the individual mandate.September 29, 2011 at 3:14 p.m.
I think there is welfare fraud - there are people receiving welfare that can work - just won't. I also don't like it when a four wheel drive monster truck that most people can't get in or out of pulls into a handicap parking space and a young person hangs the handicap tag and then bounds out and runs into the place of business.
We live with a great number of people who abuse the system, lie to the system, and all that probably costs me more tax dollars.
I will do my best to change it at the voting booth.
Mike, you are right - health care will certainly be an issue in the coming campaigns - probably for the wrong reason. Not because we need to fix the system so that people can get and keep health care - but because they don't want to do it their way. I don't have the answer - I would like to hear what the candidate is really going to try and accomplish - rather than what the other guy did or didn't do.September 29, 2011 at 2:37 p.m.
"The term "welfare queen" is most often associated with Ronald Reagan who brought the idea to a national audience. During his 1976 presidential campaign, Reagan would tell the story of a woman from Chicago's South Side who was arrested for welfare fraud:
"She has eighty names, thirty addresses, twelve Social Security cards and is collecting veteran's benefits on four non-existing deceased husbands. And she is collecting Social Security on her cards. She's got Medicaid, getting food stamps, and she is collecting welfare under each of her names. Her tax-free cash income is over $150,000."
Since Reagan never named a particular woman, the description can be viewed as an example of dramatic hyperbole.
Reagan's use of the term was related to a growing unease among New Right politicians about the expansion of the welfare apparatus. Touching on the cornerstones of American political philosophy (i.e., individualism and egalitarianism), the New Right sought to form a top-down coalition with big business and white working-class voters to undo the popular Great Society programs of the 1960s.
Is th is there welfare fraud? Absolutely, right along with all types of fraud but there's a reason personal stories are taken with a grain of salt. When a someone posts something about welfare and then goes to extremes describing his incident; on a blog totally unrelated to the subject;that person is on a mission to bring light to his obsession....It kind of reminds of the nutcase who paid big bucks at a fundraiser the other night;just to call President Obama the anti Christ.
BigJ likes to say he wasn't born last night ,but I would like to add "I can hear the dog whistles."September 29, 2011 at 2:16 p.m.
Dick Tracey?September 29, 2011 at 1:35 p.m.
I've got to give it to Mitt Romney because his campaign(although they are all over the map) is trying to stay on top of things. Yesterday ,Mitt Romney told Sean Hannity that the "individual mandate" was a conservative idea and he gave credit to the Heritage Foundation. To my surprise he also gave credit to Newt Gingrich, because he was one of the first people to come up with the idea...Isn't that letting someone else aboard on a sinking ship?
It does have a familiar ring, it's conservative until President Obama adopts it.September 29, 2011 at 10:40 a.m.
I love your one liners; funny stuff.September 29, 2011 at 10 a.m.
I forgot all about the farm subsidies, thanks for that piece of info.
I really don't know how this blog became one about welfare but it's the second day and I'll roll with the punches...:-)
You don't really expect the HEB shopping welfare junior fraud investigators, to accept actual data,do you? Their mind has been made up for 30 years and nothing's changing it.
Last night. I went online to see what a Lone Star card looked like. It's a plastic card with a white background and red and blue lettering. The junior investigators probably don't know that you can now design your credit and debit cards making it harder are to detect but not to the these profilers. They do have some good eyes but I suspect every time they go grocery shopping they look for the obvious profile in their head.
1. Darker skinned people
2. Poor people not wearing the latest outfits...Lord help you to go to the store after you just cut your yard or finished cleaning your house.
3. People speaking, OMG, Spanish.
4. A woman meeting all the criteria above and has more than two children.
You can use the same profile for emergency room use etc.
It is funny though because when the U.S. lost $9 billion in Iraq funding...Not a peep
Savings and investment assets (apart from retirement savings) lost $1.2 trillion and pension assets lost $1.3 trillion. Taken together, these losses total a staggering $8.3 trillion from the 2008 financial crisis...Not one arrest or a peep from the junior investigators.
An on and on ;everyone is aware of fraud in the private sector and government, but some only focus on Class warfare because it's popular and gets the most hostile reaction from their crowd.September 29, 2011 at 9:54 a.m.
Good morning arlewill always nice to hear from you.
First, sorry to hear that your medical cost has increased $2000 annually and that you lost your family Dr., No doubt, the new law affected some. In two months it will be a year since I've been on Medicare, but I have not seen an increase in my cost and I've had the same Dr. For 20 years.I love the NO REFERRALS NEEDED in Medicare.
I agree it is a flawed piece of legislation but I don't think we should throw out the baby with the bathwater because insurance costs were skyrocketing way before the Affordable Health Care was even thought of. Yesterday, I heard a that part of the new cost rise was due to a miscalculation by the insurance companies; thinking that their costs were going up. I don't think we would have lowered costs with health savings accounts, tort reform, and buying across state lines. I think making a deal with Big Pharma prior to any legislation was the biggest mistake the administration made because allowing individuals being able to import from Canada would have been more cost productive. They could of least use the VA plan of buying their drugs in bulk to save cost. That's just one of the big drivers of health care costs.
As I've stated the before the $500 billion was actually a reduction in the future growth of spending over 10 years, not a slashing of the current budget. We were subsidizing Medical Advantage for 10 million people who lost their extra goodies like gym memberships and extra reading glasses. I've received more preventative care and a cut on my prescription bills since the bill was passed.
It's amusing to me how much politics plays into this because on one hand the republicans accuse the democrats of not wanting to cut Medicare as a bipartisan measure to reduce the deficit in the debt. On the other hand they accuse the democrats (as Michelle Bachmann says) they STOLE $500 billion from Medicare.:-)
As always, we don't agree 100% on everything but we're not at each others throats because of it.
I hope things get better for you and I certainly don't blame you for being angry because this current legislation is not working out for you.
Have a good daySeptember 29, 2011 at 9:22 a.m.
MikeSeptember 29, 2011 at 7:44 a.m.
I think ObamaCare in total was very bad legislation. I think a couple of the benefits were good but it did raise the price for the people that are paying insurance premiums. I am still upset about cutting Medicare by $500 billion to pay for half of the costs.
My out-of-pocket costs for healthcare for a family of three has risen from $18,000 annually to more than $20,000 annually since the bill was passed. I am on the third doctor since the bill was passed. The first one just closed up and left town and the second one closed up and went to work at an army hospital.
Senior Citizens are being squezzed hard to pay for half of ObamaCare.
Like the $100 million+ Victoria's Red County right-wingers raked in over the last 10 years. This roster comes straight from Victoria's republican local donors list.

You need to be more attentive at the grocery store because it's fun to follow the money. Agriculture receives tax payer funded subsidies to produce the product and then tax payer subsidies to their customers to purchase the product....oh yeah.....the Retailer nets a neat profit for selling the product. The beauty of the setup is the poor folks that get the food are taking advantage of the taxpayers. The producers and retailers that actually cash the gubmint checks? Why they're the job creators that need to get the gubmint off their backs. :D
Propose slashing food stamps significantly and see who screams the loudest. My money will be on corporate agriculture.
While some folks will holler about increases in medical costs no one wanting to be elected (or re elected) is going to mention cost control.September 28, 2011 at 5:49 p.m.
Things might even get humorous if Chris Christie throws his donut in the ring.September 28, 2011 at 5:16 p.m.
A full scale example of 50% of the health care cost issue not discussed.
Actually, I mentioned Ed Post once on your blog and once in my response today. Nevertheless the similarities are there, so I mentioned it...:-)
After 30 years of hearing the wild exaggerations, I became immune.
My friends aren't busybodies either and are not trying to promote their agenda besides even thou we are retired ,we can think of a lot more productive things to do. As I said is been mentioned before in the forum, that doesn't make it true, and as I've said the myths have been around for ages, and my grand-kids will probably hear them. Do your civic duty, take out your phone snap a picture and report it. After all we have ~ 310 million people in this country, about 47 million are on food stamps( some through no fault of their own) and one or two encounters of perhaps welfare fraud ,is certainly not representative of all 50 states...that's unless you have substantiated data to back up your claims.
I have and read anything about people wanting me to pay for bus rides. I made a comment early yesterday but that's all it was. I can want all the troops out of Afghanistan and Iraq but I can't do anything about that nor can I do anything about free bus rides. I leave that up to the bus administrator, the city, and the college. If is not feasible,so be it. a comment does not have to go through the filter of your eyes; it just the comment; nothing more nothing less.
The Health Care Law takes 66 2/3 votes to override a presidential veto. Repealing the law without replacing it will only make matters worse; just think what it would be to tell all those adult children that they will no longer be covered and telling the same story to those people who have been accepted even though they had pre-existing condition.September 28, 2011 at 11:46 a.m.
lol...."loading up her 2009 Licoln Navigator that's rolling on 22" custom wheels"
That's an upgrade from the old Cadillacs I used to hear about.... Those unbelievable stories have been around for years. Nobody really believes them, in fact I used to work with a guy that would always tell these kind a stories and we encouraged him, so we could get our belly laughs.
When I go into a grocery store (and I've had this discussion before) with some friends(they agree) where I tell them that I don't notice what the person in front of me buys or what they use to purchase the items. I'm not a busy body and and it just might be my old age ,but I cannot tell you what two persons in front of me pays with, what language they are speaking, how many kids they have and I certainly don't follow them outside to check out their vehicle. I'm just trying to get my small items and leave the store.
Those personal stories work on certain people who want their ears tickled.September 28, 2011 at 11:15 a.m.
You know Ed Post had a similar personal story(that cannot be verified) and has nothing to do with what I just wrote about. ..Just saying...:-) The blog wasn't about scapegoats but I will summarize it for you.
1. The constitutionality of the individual mandate.
2. The politics of the issue
3. The recent rise of premiums and initial expected complaints.
I didn't go into the 35% credit to those businesses that provide health it care for their employees to offset cost,or 52,000,000 people that are uninsured.September 28, 2011 at 11:05 a.m.

Dagnabbit, the wifey scooped me on Susan Boyle. That's what I get for messin' around in Wal-Mart all morning instead of writing.
Know what I hate about Wal-Mart? The greeters. I have great love and respect for the seniors of our community, but Wal-Mart greeters always look at me like I smell like old sauerkraut.
It's OK, I didn't want one of those stupid smiley stickers anyway.
And speaking of the older generation, I wanted to chime in on Ms. Boyle's big showing on Britain's Got Talent. I knew something was up when everyone posted video of her on their Facebook pages. I just figured it was a clip of a woman falling down a flight of stairs or smearing snot on food at a pizza place. But oh no, when I checked the video out the only thing I could say was:
Ms. Doubtfire can BLOW!
Immediately she's become the talk of the town, everyone is prattling on about how we shouldn't judge a book by its cover and suddenly Susan is the next big thing.
Which got me to thinking - this would NEVER happen in the world of urban music.
Why, you ask? Because urban music can be the most shallow form of entertainment on Earth. There is no way a 40-something lady would break through. NO WAY.
Last week my brother-in-law was telling me that his new favorite singer/rapper is a guy named Drake (picture Lil Wayne with a dash of Bobby Valentino). He pronounced this guy the "new" best rapper alive.
And y'all know me - I promptly pointed out about 275 rappers who are better than this guy, with Jay-Z and Nas at the top of the list. His reply was, "Jay-Z and Nas are old news."
I don't know if it's because urban music caters to a younger audience, but once an artist hits a certain age, they're suddenly obsolete. Now granted, some veterans like LL Cool J have passed their primes but most still have gas in the tank. I'd rather hear a 38-year-old Ghostface than a 23-year-old Yung Berg.
Ancient rock artists like the Eagles still tour and rake in millions. In hip hop, guys like the Wu-Tang Clan have to use cell phones to record their music videos because record companies won't give 'em a fair shake. If an artist is not under 20 and rail-thin, they get "demoted" to the oldies station.
Who cares if Madea wants to rap? If she can flow, I say give her a chance.

Sunday afternoons can always be for reading, but they are most definitely for napping.
Can I get an "Amen" and maybe even a "Preach it Sista?"
Preach it Sista! :)
Oh gosh. I love a quiet Sunday. Right now mine are crunching on their apples which, sadly, is anything but quiet.
I love these posts! I love the reading! I love the books! I love the paper airplanes. Andrew's best valentine this year was a paper with directions to turn it into an airplane on the back. AWESOME! I hope the planes flew well and that the book reading allowed for lots of napping for you and Aaron. I see Hudson found another way to cover himself. It's SO FUN! I hope that potty training is going SUPER well!
In our family, that is always and AMEN!!
Ahhhhhh, peace and quiet. Think I'll go take a nap now.
Beautiful pictures. ANd yes and amen! Sunday's middle name is Nap.
AMEN and Preach it Sista!!! right with you !!
I'll give you both.......
Preach it sista!
I don't know which joke to make here. That you obviously bought the "My Baby Can Read" curriculum, or that I am all kinds of relieved to see that silly bandz (with a 'z' because they are just that silly) have made it to Haiti? So many jokes, so little time...
I like your reading boys. That makes a momma happy!
When the kids are home from school for the day, whether it be a weekend or weekday, we always have 'rest and read' time after lunch. Mom determines how long this is (usually according to how long her nap is, which being a night shift nurse varies day by day). Sometimes they do this in their bedroom, sometimes in the living room where I am napping. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Rest and Read time! Gives me a break in the middle of the day to read, nap, bask in the (hopefully) quiet. They may choose to rest or read and sometimes they even fall asleep!
Sweet pictures! I love your sons wrist with the multitude of silly bands on it:)
thanks for the reminders of "simple life", paper airplanes and reading! LOVE IT!

Hendricks County Flyer
---- — Many things are better today than they were in the somewhat-distant past — TV visuals, video games, computers, golf equipment, and the country's beer selection to name a few.
But along with customer service, product durability, reality TV and pop music, one thing that has gotten worse over time is college football.
There was a time when I enjoyed college football more than the NFL. Those days are long gone, as a bloated schedule, absurd postseason, oversaturation and conference chaos have spoiled a once-great four-month experience.
The first step toward today's diminished collegiate product was the switch to a 12-game schedule in 2006. Since then, viewers have suffered through far too many pathetic offerings like two weeks ago, when 17 ranked teams beat unranked opponents by an average of 35 points. That sleep-inducing Saturday included the trouncing of hapless patsies by Ohio State, Louisville, Miami, Washington and Baylor by a combined margin of 337 points.
Instead of creating more interesting out-of-conference match-ups, the 12-game slate has only increased the number of unwatchable pummelings unleashed on FCS programs willing to endure punishment for a million-dollar payday. It also gives programs a chance to add a meaningless win toward qualifying for one of a couple dozen equally-meaningless bowl games.
A quarter-century ago, there were 17 bowls, the majority of which were entertaining contests that were required viewing. This year there will be 35, many featuring pairings of teams that should be in the weight room instead of thinking they really accomplished something by appearing in what's little more than a three-hour commercial for whatever rotating corporate entity has lent its name to the nauseating affair.
The overabundance of bowls is matched by the season-long flooding of the airwaves with garbage games. Game day Saturdays used to be an event. Now, finding a good game is as difficult as finding something watchable on regular TV. There are far too many Honey Boo Boos and not enough Sopranos. If you'd told me growing up that I'd eventually wish there was less college football on TV, it wouldn't have made sense to me. Now, sadly, most of the time it's just another thing taking up space on the cable guide.
We are also in the midst of a disturbing time for athletic conferences, and in the epicenter of one of the most sickening realignments. We all tolerated the silliness of the Big Ten keeping its name after adding an 11th team two decades ago, but the upcoming inclusion of Rutgers and Maryland is so over-the-top stupid that it'll be hard to take it seriously. It's no longer a tight, regional grouping of likeminded academic and athletic institutions … it's a far-flung, money-grubbing whorehouse unified only by TV deals.
Unfortunately, I'm afraid the college football landscape will get worse. There's no putting the genie back in the bottle. Teams aren't going to cut to 11 games; big programs will continue to schedule punching bags for their 12th contest; ghastly match-ups and garbage bowls will continue to pollute TV screens; and the pimps that run the NCAA and conferences will keep raking in the dough.
The good news is, it's a big world and there are entertainment options aplenty. I wanted to work on my golf game more, anyway.

Round 1: Sadollah goes right to work with leg kicks, but Johnson seems intent on throwing a punch to counter each one. An uppercut by Johnson makes Sadollah stumble, and Johnson puts the pressure on. Sadollah slips on a head kick attempt and Johnson briefly gets side control before Sadollah works back to his feet. After a brief pause following an accidental groin kick by Sadollah, Johnson grabs one of Sadollah's legs for a takedown. Johnson works hard to try and pass the guard, but eventually gives up and gets to his feet. Back in the center of the cage, Johnson fires a hard jab that lands cleanly. Sadollah backs him up against the fence and lands a punch just as Johnson throws a knee, and the off-balance Johnson goes down. Nice throw by Johnson after getting back to his feet, but Sadollah is up quickly and gets a takedown of his own. The round ends with Sadollah posturing up in the guard and throwing punches with mixed success. MMA Fighting scores it 10-9 for Johnson.
Round 2: Two good right hands by Johnson start off the round, but Sadollah keeps coming forward. Sadollah backs Johnson up against the fence and unloads. Johnson looks slightly hurt, but he fires back to stop the onslaught. Johnson hammers Sadollah with a right hook that knocks Sadollah to one side, but Sadollah takes advantage of Johnson's fatigue and gets him down against the fence. Sadollah is raining down blows from the top, and this one may be stopped. Johnson takes it, and somehow gets out of danger in time, only to be swarmed further as Sadollah takes his back. Sadollah ties Johnson's arm up from mount and unleashes some brutal elbows. Johnson is tapping, and this one is over.
Amir Sadollah def. DeMarques Johnson via submission (strikes) at 3:27 of round two

Why are people so angry? It's pretty simple...
The Moto X is meant to be marketed and sold as the iPhone of the Android world. It's not about the specs or an incredible price. It's about an intuitive, easy and appealing experience with some cool features and colours. It's meant to feel good.
All the die-hard Android fans are so angry about the price, but the Moto X simply wasn't designed for them and won't be marketed to them.
Wait for the Nexus 4-2/Nexus 5/whatever. It'll be subsidised by Google and no one outside of the Android Army will know about it, but it'll be the phone for us.
If the Moto X sells well and gets more iOS, Blackberry and WP users to switch over, I'm all for it, and you should be too.

Can We Stop Ovarian Cancer?
Ovarian cancer is known as "the silent killer" because its symptoms -- such as stomach pain and indigestion -- are easily confused with other ailments, allowing the illness to reach a deadly advanced stage before it is diagnosed. But that may soon change. Researchers are working on an early-detection test that proved 100 percent accurate in finding the cancer in its earliest stage, according to a small study to be published in the medical journal Endocrine-Related Cancer Journal. More testing, as well as FDA approval, needs to happen before the pinprick blood test called OvaCheck becomes widely available, says Peter Levine, president of Correlogic Systems, one of the test's developers. However, for women at high risk of ovarian cancer, such as those with a family history, the test may be available as early as this year.

Loved It, Made It: Green Villages DIY Ideas
I was chatting with Kirsteene from Etsy Australia the other day and she told me all about a cute project she knew I'd love.
The City of Sydney teamed up with Etsy Australia recently to produce three 'crafty gift idea' videos and fact sheets that show how easy it is to give sustainably this Christmas. Their site Green Villages is a choc full of amazing ideas and projects!
We're already on board with the Furoshiki wrap in our kid's Christmas project, but the terrarium and macramé plant holder looked amazing, so of course we needed to give one a go!
We're never one to pass up the opportunity for pom poms and hot pink neon, so we gathered the supplies and got knotting:
We added sequins to ours (of course!), but you could add feathers and paper flowers – each one could be unique to suit the personality of the friend you're gifting to.
The steps were really easy to follow and we had our pretty plant holder hanging in no time.
You can check out the video tutorials here (they have seriously cute music!):
How to make a macramé plant holder
Thanks Kirsteene for the great link!
[See what else we've been making lately. Go on, get crafty with us!]

Unbeaten half century for Huck as Netherfield pick up 12 points
1:00pm Friday 24th August 2012 in Cricket By Scott Kirk, Reporter
NETHERFIELD notched up 12 points against third-from-bottom Chorley to keep them within striking distance of the top four.
The Lancashire side won the toss and chose to bat first, providing a dream start for Netherfield when wicketkeeper John Huck caught Stuart Naden in the second over for just one off Chris Williams.
But Chorley got it together with two good partnerships. First Jack Bentham (12) and Iain Critchley put on 43 to take their score to 44 before Bentham was caught by Robbie Lambert off Marc Hadwin.
Then Critchley and Gaurav Dhar doubled their score when Dhar was dismissed for 25 to leave Chorley 88-3 in the 25th over.
Will Moulton didn't last long before he was run out after facing six balls, while Andrew Holdworth could only add four runs to the total as Chorley scored runs at a very slow rate, reduced to 109-5.
Critchley went on to score 63 before Williams, who bowled 4-35 including four maidens, claimed his wicket when the Chorley batsman was caught by Marc Brown in what would prove to be Netherfield's last wicket of the innings in the 37th and final over, Chorley scoring 125-6.
The match had been reduced 13 overs a side due to rain forcing play to only begin at 2.30pm.
In reply 'Field got off to a shaky start when Williams was caught in the gully by Moulton for one, and pro Cobus Pienaar was dismissed for a two-ball duck at second slip when Kieran McCullagh caught him off Billy Smith to claim the bowler's second wicket of the innings Netherfield were 12-2 when John Huck entered the fray with Brown, and the pair put on 71 runs between them to put them firmly in the driving seat.
Huck hit seven fours and two sixes on his way to an unbeaten 63 off 89 balls.
Brown was out for 37 in the 25th over, but Ben Haddrick, showing much-improved form lower down the order, came in and scored 24 not out to provide ample support for vice-captain Huck.
It was enough to secure a seven-wicket victory for Netherfield in the 32nd over.

Web site: http://www.brookline.nh.us/
Population: 2,410 (1990); 4,181 (2000); 4,812 (2006)
Brookline, a small, rustic, wooded town in the southwestern corner of Hillsborough County, was formed from two different tracts of land. One tract was called The Mile Slip because it was one mile wide, and it slipped by other charter grants given to Hollis and Mason. It sat alone--part of no township--until 1769.
That year a group of residents in the southwestern part of Hollis became dissatisfied with their status; they felt their distance from Hollis precluded any real town participation, and they asked the NH General Court to remove them from the Hollis charter and let them join the group of people who lived in The Mile Slip to form a township.
On March 30, 1769, the two tracts containing 70 people and only two framed houses were incorporated under the name of Raby, NH. The name was chosen because several of the settlers were from Raby, England. By 1798, however, the name and reputation of Raby had be sullied by murderers and thieves living int he southern part of town. Thereafter a group of proper citizens residing in the northern section went ot court to change the name to Brookline.
Brookline, with only 20,1 square miles of land and a population under 5,000 is a relatively small town, but the residents like it that way. It is still rural, and one can easily sit beside the old Indian burial grounds on Lake Potanipo to watch the wildlife.
Brookline is within convenient driving distances from the Manchester Airport, Daniel Webster College, Franklin Pierce College, Manchester, and Nashua.

text: Our children are the tech they consume Geek Dad 15 October 10 by James Seddon Tweet CC-licensed: Leonid Mamchenkov As a GeekDad who spends a lot of time worrying about giving my kids the best possible upbringing, the issue of how much technology they should be exposed to is one I keep revisiting.Like most parents I know, we buy our kids some new gadget or console pretty much every Christmas and birthday. But more and more, I've been thinking about the gap in our knowledge when it comes to truly understanding the long-term effects technology has on our kids' brains.A Neuron review article, as picked up by Wired Science blogger Jonah Lehrer, has changed how I'll look at the issue of kids and technology as a parent forever.There is clearly still a lot we don't know about our brains, but what we do know, is that our experiences (technological or not) shape who we are. What is made clear by Lehrer though, is that we think too much about how any content is delivered, and not enough about the actual content being consumed.Although no parent would swap their child's milk with beer because they're both drinks, the paper suggests we make a comparable classification error when it comes to evaluating and comparing media. As the paper's authors explain: "In the same way that there is no single effect of eating food, there is also no single effect of watching television or playing video games."How often as a parent have you decided that your kids have watched enough TV for one day, encouraging them to read a book instead? Whether or not this was the right decision for their development depends on the show being watched and the book being read.The paper points out that numerous studies have shown that while some children's TV programmes are linked to a decrease in vocabulary and expressive language skills (Teletubbies, for example), other shows can actually increase these measures (Dora the Explorer). It's not as easy as saying Dora the Explorer is bad for kids and books are good.How much a piece of content encourages engagement and direct participation is also an extremely important issue in its ability to aid cognitive development.As a GeekDad, it can be difficult to know how to translate this information into practical parenting guidelines, and the paper makes it abundantly clear that there are obviously a lot more research that needs to be undertaken.One thing I do know though, is that when I sit there with my two-year-old son prodding and chattering away at the Spot Goes to School and Dr Seuss iPad apps, I won't worry so much about whether I should read him a proper book instead.

Divorce After 40: Who's Asking for It and Why?
Remember the days when people over 40 were OLD? If one was married at age 40, they expected to stay married forever, regardless of their situation -- and those still single at age 40 could pretty much count on being single forever.
Well, phew! Those unenlightened "old days" are over, but new times bring new challenges, including the incidence of divorce for couples over the age of 40. It's fairly simple to figure out the why: If mama is no longer fun and papa is out running around, it may be time to take a hike; but you may be surprised at who is initiating the proceedings.
Two-thirds of divorces after age 40 are initiated by wives, debunking the myth of an older man divorcing his wife for a younger woman, according to a recent survey by AARP the Magazine.
"The Divorce Experience: A Study of Divorce at Midlife and Beyond" surveyed 1,147 people ages 40 to 79 who had divorced in their 40s, 50s or 60s. The survey found that women over age 40 seemed more aware of problems in their marriages, while men were more likely to be caught off-guard by their divorces. Twenty-six percent of men said they "never saw it coming," compared with just 14 percent of women.
The increase in women initiating divorce reflects the empowerment of women to leave bad marriages, said Linda Fisher, AARP's director of national member research. The AARP study found that most women said they filed for divorce because of physical or emotional abuse, infidelity or drug and alcohol abuse. Men said they sought divorces because they fell out love, they had different values or lifestyles, or infidelity.

Can you help me understand g's and acceleration for a fictional Star Wars spaceship?
I read that a space ship can reach 5,100g in space. Is there a way to determine how many kilometers per hour this would be? As I understand it, the only way to feel g force is to be accelerating. The acceleration should slow down as speed increases and eventually stop so there would be 0g at that point.
I saw somewhere that 5,100g would be equal to 51,000kph but there was no explanation as to how the anwer was calculated.
The g is an acceleration (the acceleration due to gravity felt on the surface of the earth). Therefore, 5100g is an acceleration and so, no, it cannot be converted into kilometres per hour, since this is a unit of velocity.
Since 1g is 9.8m/s/s, 5100g is 50,000m/s/s or 50km/s/s.
OK thanks. Can you explain the meters per second per second to me. I searched the web and found formulas but no examples.
Meters divided by time divided by time again. Can you give me an example of this formula with actual numbers?
That's the units of acceleration. If you accelerate at 1m/s/s for 10 seconds, you'll be going 10m/s. speed = acceleration * time.
Thank you.:smile:
Now that you know what a g is, also know that 5,100g would crush pretty much anything experiencing that magnitude of acceleration.
Check out this article on the effects of acceleration on the human body:
Even prolonged exposure to 3g's can cause serious health problems.
Prolonged exposure to 10gs would kill a person, even in a pressures suit.
Even if inertial dampeners, a device that would somehow less the effects of acceleration and currently only science fiction, were used, I doubt they would be able to compensate for 5,100 times earth gravity.

Progress Energy Center Meymandi Concert Hall
Located on the west side of the Progress Energy Center for the Performing Arts, is the new 1700-seat Meymandi Concert Hall. The 65 foot ceiling, the shoebox shape, the narrow sides, shallow balconies and absence of proscenium are all elements of the acoustical design that produces the warmest, clearest, most complete sound possible The Meymandi Concert Hall is the home of the North Carolina Symphony.
North Carolina Symphony is a vital and honored component of North Carolina's cultural life. Its 175 performances annually are greeted with enthusiasm throughout the state in communities large and small, in concert halls, auditoriums, gymnasiums and outdoor settings.
Based in spectacular Meymandi Concert Hall at the Progress Energy Center for the Performing Arts in Raleigh, the state's capital city, and an outdoor summer venue at Regency Park in nearby Cary, NC, the orchestra has also appeared twice at Carnegie Hall in New York and once each at the Kennedy Center in Washington, DC and Orchestra Hall in Chicago.
Under the gifted artistic leadership of Music Director Grant Llewellyn, the orchestra has grown in stature and sophistication. His heralded arrival in 2004 brought audiences to their feet and his inspired performances create a palpable excitement at North Carolina Symphony concerts across the state. A powerful communicator, Llewellyn has invigorated musicians to achieve ever greater levels of passion and eloquence in their playing.
The orchestra enjoys an increasing reputation for its innovative programming and collaborative projects. In 2005-06 a four-concert series, "Crossing the Atlantic," examined the cultural and musical similarities and differences between America and Britain, featuring the work of composers such as Robin Holloway, James MacMillan, Edgar Meyer and Jennifer Higdon. In 2007-08, the orchestra collaborated with noted conductor John Mauceri, as well as actors and a director from the North Carolina School of the Arts to present a ground-breaking performance of Shostakovich's film score for the 1964 Soviet film version of Hamlet. A project entitled "Postcards from North Carolina" featured commissioned works by six noted North Carolina composers, including Stephen Jaffe and Pulitzer Prize-winner Robert Ward, in celebration of the organization's 75th anniversary in 2006-07. "Blue Skies and Red Earth" showcased the richness of traditional music of the state in all its forms, including gospel, blues, mountain and Native American. The 2008-09 season includes a collaboration with the Nasher Museum of Art at Duke University's El Greco to Velazquez: Art During the Reign of Philip II exhibition that will feature a commissioned work as well as chamber music concerts based on the concepts embodied in the art works.
Devoted to bringing music to the entire state of North Carolina, one of the Symphony's proudest achievements is its extensive education program, unrivaled by any US orchestra. Approximately 40 of the orchestra's 175 concerts annually are performed free for school children throughout the state and are part of the schools' music education curriculum. In addition, the North Carolina Symphony stages the annual Youth Concerto Competition, honors an outstanding music educator, sponsors the Triangle Youth Philharmonic, holds regular Instrument Zoos for budding young musicians, offers an "Ensembles in the Schools" program and master classes and presents many other education programs for both adults and young people.
The North Carolina Symphony can be heard monthly on National Public Radio's WUNC 91.5 in North Carolina. Additionally, the Symphony has released five recordings, the most recent of which, Sketches 2004-05, features Music Director Grant Llewellyn conducting the orchestra in works by Rameau, Vaughan Williams, Benjamin Britten and North Carolina Symphony musician and composer Terry Mizesko. Two discs are underway with BIS Records, including a collection of American contemporary works, two of which feature saxophone sensation Branford Marsalis. Some of the top soloists in the world, such as Yo-Yo Ma, André Watts, Leila Josefowicz, Lang Lang, Joshua Bell, Midori, Vladimir Feltsman, Gil Shaham, Denyce Graves and Lynn Harrell have performed with the North Carolina Symphony.

Canadian makeup line Vasanti Cosmetics recently became available at Shoppers and Rexall locations—you may have spotted its swank blue and red packaging or read about it over at Beautygeeks or the now-on-hiatus Sugarshock.
Why should you care? Well, I was intrigued by the brand's initial concept of catering to women with South Asian or other yellow-based skintones (it was, after all, founded a decade ago by three Canucks of South Asian descent). But now they've re-launched with options for every ethnicity, so I just had to put a few products to the test.
On the subject of skin stuff, I tried the Face Base Powder Foundation—and even on my not-very-yellowish Scottish skin, the colour was flattering and natural-looking. But I have to warn you—I'm only suggesting it for oily skin types. On me it was way too drying… maybe I'll revisit in the summer. I'd give a miss to their concealer option, the Liquid Cover-Up, which offers both too much liquid and not enough covering-up (and was also very, very yellow on me).
They have some cute colour options, especially the Tinted Lipbalm, which SugarShock also sang the praises of. The Gel Lip & Cheek Stains are also pretty, but use them on your lips only—despite their claims, they're annoyingly not very spreadable on your cheeks, so you could end up with patchy bits.
Skip the Lipshine lip gloss (non-sticky but too goopy) and the loose Shimmer Powders (nothing against Vasanti here per se, but I just don't get the point of them, and there wasn't enough pigment to make them work as eye shadows).
Available at select Shoppers Drug Mart and Rexall Pharma Plus locations and online at amazon.com and vasanticosmetics.com.

Travel Weight Tech Silk is yet another quality product…
Fabric: 100% Acclimate Dry Performance Fabric
Price Paid: Pro deal from Polarmax
Travel Weight Tech Silk is yet another quality product from Polarmax's high-performance base layer family. I've been testing the tops and bottoms all spring on various trails, bike rides, and one trip to Seattle on a cold, damp, blustery weekend in March. Here is what I found:
Comfort: The Travel Weight Tech Silk is constructed of 100 percent Acclimate® Dry polyester. Yes, polyester! I was shocked too. It feels like silk, it looks like silk, it acts like silk, but Acclimate® Dry polyester is designed by Polarmax to quickly pull moisture into the fabric's outer surface to achieve rapid evaporation.
Design: Not too tight to be uncomfortable or restricting, not so loose that they don't wick sweat or help regulate body temperature. What I love about the Tech Silk is that it is so thin you can wear them under jeans or pants for walking around town when the temperatures hover in the 40s, or under ski pants, bike pants, jeans, kayak dry suits and as camping jammies.
The Polarmax Clean-Seams flat-seam construction prevents chafing and snags, too.
Moisture Wicking/Breathability/Odor Control/Durability: Polarmax pioneered the development of an anti-microbial, anti-odor fabric (Scent Prevent™ technology) to kill the bacteria that causes odor. Acclimate® Dry fabric wicks moisture vertically at a rate of three inches in three minutes and ninety percent of the wicking properties are retained after fifty washings.
An important point to note is the number of wearings the Travel Weight Tech Silk can endure before you have to launder them. I racked up the sweat and reek of a three-day camping/hiking trip and three nights of sleeping before they needed a washing.
Warmth: For outdoor activities in the cooler days of spring and fall, the silky polyester kept me warm without sweltering. If you plan to be in a colder climate, or be outdoors in the winter, I recommend the Mountain Skins.
Made in the U.S.A: I always get giddy when I find a piece of high quality gear whose only transatlantic voyage is leaving the U.S., not entering it. Travel Weight Tech Silk —and all Polarmax products—are sourced, designed, manufactured, warehoused and distributed within a fifteen-mile radius in North Carolina. They are all about leaving a light footprint, too. Check out their Green Story for details.
Polarmax Travel Weight Tech Silk are available in men's and women's-specific styles.

This is an authentic version of an ancient Roman cheesecake known as a 'Savillum'. It is extremely different to the modern versions so be prepared.
This delightful cheesecake is creamy and not thick, with a hint of lemon and vanilla. For best results, do not substitute any ingredients with low-fat unless you've made it before and want to experiment.
Recipe by: April
There are so many cheesecake recipes but this ricotta version is definitely my favourite. It is simple and easy to make on a biscuit crumb base.
Recipe by: helenearm
This cheesecake uses low-fat cottage cheese instead of cream cheese and so isn't as high as fat as a regular cheesecake.
Recipe by: Ariana Klepac
This dessert has the creamy consistency a cheesecake should have but uses ricotta cheese. Add an amaretti biscuit base without butter and vitamin C-rich strawberries and kiwi fruit for a healthy result that's big on flavour.
Recipe by: Lynn Lewis and Joachim Wahnschaffe
What makes this delicious ricotta and lemon cheesecake so easy? It has no crust and is baked in an Airfryer for minimum fuss.

.NET Framework on Mac OS X?
by Brian Jepson
It's March 2001, and if all goes well, Mac OS X will come out this month. If Sonnet comes through, I'll be running the new operating system on the same Mac I'm typing this on (a former Power Macintosh 7200/75 with a 7500 motherboard and Sonnet Crescendo G3).
In addition to sporting a spiffy new interface, Mac OS X is built on top of on an open-source BSD derivative called Darwin. As of this writing, Netcraft's list of sites with the longest uptimes shows a lot of BSD variants. If Mac OS X follows on the footsteps of its BSD brethren, it could become a popular server operating system.
Microsoft has positioned .NET as a competitor to J2EE. If .NET is to compete head-to-head, it wouldn't hurt if it ran on popular server platforms. Plus, Java 2 has already found its way into the Mac OS X space, so there is plenty of incentive for Microsoft to try to gain a foothold there.
Server platforms aside, .NET could be the foundation for future end-user Windows applications using the Windows Forms API. Microsoft remains committed to supporting Mac OS X with their current line of products, and I see no indication that they are planning to abandon it in the future.
Let's look at what one of Microsoft's top .NET people (the designer of the C# language) has to say. In Episode 7 of the MSDN Show, Anders Hejlsberg says, "And, of course, [the standardization of the common language infrastructure] will inevitably down the line lead to implementations on different operating systems such as the Mac OS and certainly such as UNIX and such as Linux."
It's great to see Microsoft engineers thinking different!

"New Year's Eve, 2063. Israel is 115 years old. The Jewish state is much as it was in 2013, only more so."
Photo by: Wikimedia Commons
"New Year's Eve, 2063. Israel is 115 years old. The Jewish state is much as it was in 2013, only more so."
So began Daniel Gordis's New Year's prediction of things to come in the decades ahead ("New Year's Eve, 2063," December 28). He went on to present two scenarios in which we might find ourselves 50 years hence, neither one offering much to look forward to and neither one of which, he pointedly noted, included a settlement with the Palestinians. And for that, I hold him accountable for betraying the Zionist dream.
Without such a settlement, and without any sense of urgency about reaching one, we are, at best, doomed to continue muddling along – and at worst, to disappearing.
Prophecies such as his are likely to be self-fulfilling, and self-destructive to boot. They relieve those with the responsibility of navigating us toward a better future from having to make any sincere effort to do so, and encourage the rest of us to live in a perpetual state of resignation. That's not the Israel I came to live in. It's not an Israel I am prepared to reconcile myself to.
I know that the ongoing occupation will continue to drain our resources, sap our strength, weaken our resolve, undermine our morale, erode our morality, distance our friends, alienate our supporters and dissolve our spirit.
So, rather than throwing up my hands and blaming the current impasse on the absence of a serious partner with whom to negotiate a two-state solution, which is the only solution to the morass in which we find ourselves, I am determined to make every effort to go more than halfway in pursuit of peace, even if I shouldn't have to.
"Don't be self-righteous; be smart," goes a favorite Israeli adage. Good advice I encourage all of us to heed.
Happily, I am not alone. Much to the chagrin of our government, President Shimon Peres recently referred to Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas as a "partner for peace" and urged the governing coalition to relate to him as such, recognizing that his public statements "in favor of peace and against terrorism" are "courageous to the point of being life threatening."
Likud Beytenu promptly responded with a knee-jerk reaction reflecting the political paralysis into which it has boxed itself: "It's very unfortunate that the president chose to express a personal political view that is detached from public opinion."
What a bizarre counterpunch! Do we not deserve to hear from our leaders exactly how they see things, even if their views should be detached from public opinion? Though in this case, I daresay, our president's pronouncement was not. Rather, I read into it an expression of the public's deeply rooted hope, rather than the ruling parties' submission to despair.
And it is that hope, as long as it is realistic – and Peres and I firmly believe it is – that we must nurture. Which brings me to the reaction I received to my last column, in which I touted Peter Beinart as a good old-fashioned Zionist for reminding us in his Crisis of Zionism of the ideals that launched our movement and that have always been integral to it. I was surprised not by those who attacked me for my position; that I anticipated. Rather, I was caught off-guard by the depth of angst expressed over what is going on here by those who agreed with me – in particular by those abroad.
"I'm afraid that Beinart is correct in saying that the next generation of American Jews will care less and less about Israel," wrote one of my readers. "I see it in myself. Even with having spent five years in Israel, being very active in my shul, sending all my kids to Jewish day school, having Judaism be absolutely central to my identity, and having a son who chose to serve as a combat soldier in the Israeli army, I find myself less and less desirous of thinking about Israel. That's probably got more to do with my feeling that the situation is hopeless and depressing than because Israel has not become the nation your hero Theodor Herzl envisioned.
"Life as a Jew where I live is very comfortable, satisfying and dynamic. Why, really, do I, or all the other Jews here, need Israel? Why do I need to be miserable every time I read something in the paper about how the world sees Israel? Of course I want Israel to thrive, to be the wonderful, ethical country of the Jews, to have it be an appreciated member of the world community. I just don't see how that can happen."
I do. "Od lo avda tikvatenu" – we have not relinquished our hope. The words of our national anthem should be as stirring and as inspirational now as ever. If, through 2,000 years of exile and unimaginable suffering, we were able to find the strength to sustain ourselves, it is unthinkable that after only 65 years of independence we should give up.
The Zionist vision of creating both a safe haven for the Jewish people and an exemplary society by which the entire world might be enriched is as compelling as ever and the challenges are no more staggering than they were at the beginning of the last century. Then, a handful of dedicated pioneers made fields out of stone-strewn terrain that had been neglected for generations.
They literally made the deserts bloom, created reservoirs in a parched land, planted hundreds of thousands of trees, revived the Hebrew language, absorbed hundreds of thousands of immigrants and staved off the coordinated invasion of five Arab armies even before we really had one that we could call our own.
In comparison, the trials with which we must contend today are anything but overwhelming. And our dedication to making right those things that are wrong should be a source of pride. While it is the hi-tech start-ups listed on NASDAQ that continue to make headlines, we have just as many societal start-ups, founded and driven by young, idealistic social entrepreneurs dedicated to reclaiming the Zionist dream. They may not be as wealthy as their computer-savvy counterparts, but they are every bit as talented and driven, promising that we shall all be enriched by their efforts. We also have as many candidates vying for a seat in the Knesset who are passionately dedicated to the pursuit of peace as there are those who have relegated an accord with our Palestinian neighbors to the bin of hogwash.
There is no foregone conclusion as to how many of each will sit in our next parliament. That we have 34 parties running for election, however, means that there are a great many people who care desperately about what this country is going to end up looking like.
After 2,000 years of longing, it is far too early, and far too easy, for any of us to give up on fashioning it in accordance with his or her image.
Whoever does abandon the effort is relinquishing the country to those whose vision for the Jewish state is different from their own. That applies to those in Israel who are contemplating a ballot boycott as well as to those abroad who would distance themselves from what is going on here rather than redoubling their efforts to impact the course we are taking.
New Year's Eve, 2063. Israel is 115 years old. The Jewish state is very different than it was 50 years ago. Mainly because of the peace accords that were eventually reached with its Palestinian neighbors. And that happened because in 2013, inspired by their president, enough of its people chose innovation over stagnation and went to the polls to vote hope over despair. Keep dreaming.

Skipping at Netley Abbey
This is so silly. But then, I am prone towards silliness most of the time.
Yesterday we popped down to Southampton for various errands, picking up belongings from the old flat and visiting one of my best mates. We also stopped by Netley Abbey for frolicking in the sun as you can see from the skipping gif above. It was a long day, not getting home till 2.30am but it was worth it for the fun, sun, friends, babies and food.

San Diego, CA (Sports Network) - Chase Headley's grand slam in the seventh inning put the game out of reach for Arizona, as the San Diego Padres took the rubber match of a three-game set, defeating the Diamondbacks 8-2.
Patrick Corbin (5-7) took the loss, giving up three runs on six hits over 5 1/3 innings. While in the game, he received just one run of support, which came in the third inning off an RBI-groundout from Jason Kubel.
With the St. Louis Cardinals winning earlier on Sunday, the loss puts the Diamondbacks 6 1/2 games out of a wild-card spot.
Andrew Werner (2-1) got the win and posted his fourth straight quality outing. He pitched 6 1/3 solid innings, allowing just one run on four hits while striking out six.
"We've had trouble this year with similar pitchers like him," Diamondbacks manager Kirk Gibson said about Werner. "He had good deception and we hadn't seen him, so he was obviously tough on us."
Carlos Quentin and Chris Denorfia each hit solo homers and scored two runs apiece for the Padres, who have won four of their last five games.
The Padres scored first, bringing home two runs in the second inning. Quentin led the inning off with a double and following a walk to Jesus Guzman, Cameron Maybin ripped a double to left to score Quentin. Guzman advanced to third and scored on an Andy Parrino sacrifice fly.
Headley came to the plate in the seventh with the bases loaded after Denorfia reached on an error in between walks issued to John Baker and Logan Forsythe. Headley cleared the bases with a homer to right field and Quentin followed with a home run of his own to left to make the score 8-1.
"It's something that not a whole lot of people get to say they do that in their career, so it's a great feeling," Headley said about his grand slam, which gave him 102 RBI this season.
Anthony Bass came on to pitch the final frame for San Diego and allowed the D'Backs to manufacture a run before recording the last out.
He and gave up a base hit to Montero to start the inning then issued a walk to Chris Johnson before John McDonald moved Montero to third on a ground ball force out at second base. Gerardo Parra then grounded out, moving Montero across home plate for Arizona's second run.

It's no secret that the Raiders have a question mark at quarterback going into this off-season. Reggie McKenzie and Dennis Allen have all but confirmed the Terrelle Pryor era is over in Oakland, and while DA has suggested Matt McGloin has a future with the team it most likely isn't as a starter in his second season.
With that said and done, what are the Raiders going to do at quarterback this year?
The majority of the fans have already made it clear they don't want QB to be a priority in this draft. A glance at our comment threads says it all - we want linemen (particularly defensive linemen) and rebuilt trenches with a veteran signing.
This is nice, but I can safely say it's not going to happen. The Oakland Raiders will draft a quarterback this year - most likely with the #5 pick, but almost definitely in the first two rounds.
Why? It's simple. The current regime is running on their shortest leash yet. Mark Davis has all but said DA has one year to turn this thing around or kiss his job goodbye. While he probably has more faith in RMac, he's but the next target should the turnaround not go as quick as planned.
Generally the fastest way to turn things around quickly is to draft a stud quarterback. Obviously the Colts and Andrew Luck are the best example of this, but they're far from the only ones. St Louis went from 1-15 to 7-9 the year they drafted Sam Bradford (who is a lesser talent than Luck), the Falcons went from 3-13 to 9-7 in Matt Ryan's first year and didn't have a losing season until this one to name two examples.
If you draft a good lineman - even a great one - you shore up one area of your team. If you hit on a franchise QB in the draft, you're a playoff contender for the next 10 years. There's no other position which can impact an entire team and turn things around as much.
There's a tendency amongst Raider fans to discount the value of a quarterback - probably because our last two great QBs (Gannon, Plunkett) were acquired pretty much off the scrap heap and our draft picks at the position have been more miss than hit. Reggie McKenzie, however, is smarter than us. He knows the value of a QB and how much this team needs a star one to turn things around.
Moreover, he and DA surely want to find "their guy" in the draft. Unless you count Matt Flynn - who was always just a stopgap - this regime has not really had a chance to go out and find their next franchise QB. Palmer and Pryor were holdovers, Wilson was drafted for potential and didn't work out and even McGloin was hardly taken with the future of the franchise in mind. Reggie and DA surely want to get their guy in and have him turn the franchise around.
Who that guy is going to be, I'm not 100% sure yet and once I figure it out I'll let you know.

Derwin Gray erases basically all doubt about his commitment
He's really solid. Looks like the rumors about him reconsidering were off-base, thankfully. And he seems like a really good, levelheaded kid. Hope he's right about Na'Ty Rodgers, too.
Wes Brown reacts to being named Maryland's starting RB
Brown is encouragingly nonchalant - he said the difference between him and the other backs is that he's a little taller. But I'm more interested in Randy Edsall, who continues to go the cloak-and-dagger route in regards to who's starting at QB.
Terps' QB situation still in flux - ACC Blog - ESPN
I'd be surprised if Edsall announces anything before game time. No reason to tip your hand to BC.
Rothstein: five observations from Maryland's scrimmage
Nothing we haven't already heard, but Rothstein's a national guy with a little more context than most. And if he thinks Maryland's a lock to make the tourney with Dez, well, I guess I'm just going to have to believe him.
