Nap mats from Target, Babies R Us, other national retailers found with chemicals that can cause cancer and other serious health problems,
Children's nap mats from California, New York, Washington, Alaska, Massachusetts, Vermont and Connecticut contain harmful flame retardant chemicals, according to independent testing commissioned by the Center for Environmental Health (CEH).
The flame retardant chemicals found in the nap mats, which are used in daycares nationwide, have been linked to cancer, genetic damage, impacts on fertility and reproductive health, allergies, hormone disruption, and other serious health problems.
The nap mats were purchased at major retailers including Babies R Us, Target, and national online daycare supply companies, and were tested by a leading Duke University researcher who has published numerous papers on flame retardants in consumer products. The findings were released today in the CEH report, "Naptime Nightmares? Toxic Flame Retardants in Child Care Nap Mats."
In December, CEH initiated legal action against retailers and suppliers of baby products and nap mats for unlabeled products containing the flame retardant chlorinated Tris. On Friday, CEH filed lawsuits alleging violation of California consumer protection law against nap mat suppliers.
"There is no reason parents should have to worry that their children will be exposed to chemicals that can cause cancer and other serious problems when they take a nap at daycare," said Caroline Cox, the author of the CEH study. "
CEH, Clean and Healthy New York, Alaska Community Action on Toxics, the Washington Toxics Coalition, Vermont Public Interest Research Group, and Clean Water Action chapters in Massachusetts and Connecticut collected 24 nap mats, and sent them to Duke University researcher Heather Stapleton for testing.
Dr. Stapleton's testing found flame retardant chemicals in all but two of the nap mats. The testing found 10 different flame retardant chemicals (or chemical mixtures) in the nap mats; 19 of the nap mats contain more than one harmful flame retardant chemical. Eleven of the nap mats were advertised as flame resistant.
The flame retardant chemical TPP (triphenyl phosphate), which has been linked in animal studies to lower sperm production and nervous system impacts, was found in 18 of the nap mats.
Nine of the nap mats contain the flame retardant TDCPP (chlorinated Tris), which is known to cause cancer and has been linked to genetic damage. Chlorinated Tris was banned from children's pajamas in the mid-1970s, yet it still widely used in children's products today.
Children are exposed to flame retardants from nap mats when the chemicals leach out into the air, and when chemicals settle in dust that children touch and ingest. A study of daycares last year found that levels of certain flame retardants including chlorinated Tris were significantly higher in facilities that used foam nap mats than in daycares that don't use the products.
CEH and other organizations have for years been urging regulators to change the outdated state and federal product flammability standards that encourage the use of harmful flame retardant chemicals.
A federal Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) report last year stated that chemical flame retardants are ineffective in foam furniture for fire safety, and noted that their testing showed that "fire-retardant foams did not offer a practically significantly greater level of open- flame safety than did the untreated foams."
Earlier this month, CEH welcomed a new California proposal for a fire safety standard (called TB117-2013) that would provide improved fire safety without the use of harmful flame retardant chemicals. In addition to the California proposal, other bills to regulate the use of flame retardants are pending in several states, including Connecticut, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, Vermont and Washington.
To avoid flame retardants in nap mats, CEH urges child care providers and parents to look for nap mats made without polyurethane foam. Parents and child care providers may also ask nap mat suppliers about their use of flame retardant chemicals, and purchase products from companies that pledge they no longer use any of these chemicals.
Other options that are not usually treated with flame retardants include polyester fiberfill, cotton, and wool. To avoid ingestion of flame retardant-tainted dust, parents should also wash their hands and their children's hands, and vacuum often.
The Center for Environmental Health has a sixteen-year track record of protecting children and families from harmful chemicals in our air, water, food and in dozens of every day products.
CEH also works with major industries and leaders in green business to promote healthier alternatives to toxic products and practices. In 2010, the San Francisco Business Times bestowed its annual "Green Champion" award to CEH for its work to improve health and the environment in the Bay Area and beyond.

I think that it's always good to have a role model. This guy is mine. I want to be him and to be as good as him. I really like the way Tom marries a design, fashion and fine art aesthetic together. He's an experimenter as well which is why I think his work is so interesting, and for me, captivating. It's glossy and it attracts and repels at the same time, which I always think is a good thing. What's best is that usually this approach is saved for the art world, but Tom uses it anywhere.
A few months back, Tom art directed this work for Mercedes. It's a short and sweet commercial but it's pretty nice. I'm often astounded when watching TV that certain ads make the cut…. car commercials are often the ones that make me question creatives at ad agencies. Audi often nail it and here, I reckon that Tom has too. The beginning is fantastic. I'd give or take the lightning, but the static, the shine and then the 80′s palette that's revealed is modern, clean and current.
My absolute favourite work of Tom's is a self initiated series that investigates disintegrating flags. This is just so beautiful and should be in a gallery, or on my wall. I couldn't write about him without showing you this. So watch the car get shiny and then watch some flags fall apart. Different projects, but somehow the darkness is evident in both.
Check out more of his work here.

South Sudan: 100 Years of Looking the Other Way
David Blair, Daily Telegraph
The Associated Press
All of the people I spoke to believed they would be killed on sight by their Dinka neighbours if they set foot beyond the barbed wire stockade which now surrounds them. In effect, they have become prisoners in their own country. So why did this conflict arise? To understand that, you have to delve into history, the history of South Sudan – and of Sudan itself, from which the new country seceded in 2011. There is one recurring theme: this country has a habit of ignoring its most painful problems until they explode into conflict.

Is Euclidean space an affine space?
|Share this thread:
Oct2-13, 05:27 AM
HW Helper
Hi everyone,
I have a question that I'm not sure about. I wanted to know if it is standard to think of Euclidean space as a linear vector space, or a (more general) affine space? In some places, I see Euclidean space referred to as an affine space, meaning that the mathematical definition of the space allows us to make translations without affecting our system.
But on the other hand, if we have a Lagrangian like ##1/2 \ m v^2+mgy## then a translation ##y \rightarrow y+d## changes the Lagrangian to ##L \rightarrow L+mgd##. Now, I know that this does not affect the physics of the system, since it does not matter if we add a constant to the Lagrangian. But when people talk about Noether's theorem, they say that due to the form of this Lagrangian, we do not have 'translational invariance'. So are they including the Lagrangian as a physical observable of the system?? And so, is our space a linear vector space, not an affine space? Maybe they are using the term 'translational invariance' to mean something different to the 'translational invariance' that allows us to call our space affine? (and if so, then that is pretty darn confusing).
thanks in advance :)

WASHINGTON (AP) -- D.C. Police Chief Cathy Lanier says authorities believe there was only a lone gunman responsible for the Navy Yard shooting rampage that left 13 people dead.
Authorities had earlier said they were searching for a possible second suspect.
Mayor Vincent Gray says the 12 shooting victims range in age from 46 to 73 years old. The gunman, identified as 34-year-old Aaron Alexis of Texas, was also killed.
Gray said at a news conference late Monday night that they are still notifying the families of about half of the 12 people who were killed.
Authorities say there is no indication of a possible motive at this time. However, Alexis was currently working as a defense department contractor, but it's not clear if he was assigned at the military base in southeast D.C.
Defense officials say Alexis was working as an information technology contractor, but it was not known which company employed him.
As a contractor, he could have had a badge that might have gained him access to the base. Alexis was a former Navy reservist, serving from 2007 to early 2011.
The two officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss it publicly.
Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University also says he was an online student pursuing a bachelor's degree in aeronautics. He started classes in July 2012.
Alexis was killed during a running gunbattle with officers.
The lone gunman opened fire Monday inside one of the Navy's oldest buildings, attacking office workers at a heavily guarded military facility in the heart of the nation's capital.
The attack unfolded just a short distance from the White House and the U.S. Capitol at a former shipyard that is one of the Navy's oldest shore facilities.
The building that was targeted was the military's headquarters for Naval Sea Systems Command, which buys, builds and maintains ships, submarines and combat systems. About 3,000 people work at the headquarters, many of them civilians.
Witnesses described a gunman opening fire from a fourth-floor overlook, aiming down on people in the first-floor cafeteria.
As emergency vehicles and law enforcement officers flooded streets around the complex, a helicopter hovered overhead, nearby schools were locked down and airplanes at nearby Reagan National Airport were briefly grounded so they would not interfere with law-enforcement choppers.
Less than 2 miles away, security was beefed up at the Capitol and other federal buildings, but officials said there was no known threat.
President Barack Obama mourned yet another mass shooting in the U.S. that he said took the lives of American patriots. Obama promised to make sure "whoever carried out this cowardly act is held responsible."

Dirk De Moor
Born in Antwerp, Dirk De Moor began singing at age seven, when he was a member of the children's choir of Collège St-Pierre in Uccle (Brussels). After attending the music academies of Uccle and Saint-Gilles, he continued at the Royal Conservatory of Music in Brussels, where he learned choral directing and studied voice with Nicole Welbès.
Between 1979 and 1985 Dirk was a member of the RTBF and BRTN vocal ensembles and the chorus of La Monnaie, the royal opera house. Since 1971 he has led a dozen mixed and men's choirs. In 1974 he founded Le Petit Orgue, a vocal ensemble of twelve male singers that he continued directing until 1994. In 1983 that group took first prize at the 20èmes Rencontres Chorales Internationales de Montreux. Under his direction Le Petit Orgue explored the extensive repertory of male vocal music, from the Middle Ages to the present period but with a particular focus on Schubert and orthodox music, performing 450 times in Belgium and abroad and recording six albums.
He directed the male vocal ensemble of La Monnaie for a recital in 1987, and conducted the Fêtes de la Musique in Brussels in June 1988 and 1989, in which 600 singers took part.
From 1986 to 1997, Dirk directed the male vocal ensemble of the Grande Synagogue de Bruxelles (including a recital with Joseph Malovany, cantor for the Fifth Avenue Synagogue in New York). This professional quartet performs a rich, specific repertory for the 80 major holidays and religious offices that mark the Hebrew liturgical year.
Dirk De Moor has also led numerous choral workshops and, in that connection, has been invited to the Automne Musical de Spa for many years. He also sits on national and international juries, which have included the Schubert competition in Vienna and the Rencontres Chorales Internationales de Montreux.
He has directed the European Union Choir since September 1990.

Town Square
The Public Health Insurance Option
Original post made by stephen levy on Sep 10, 2009
The President's first point was to tell people who have private insurance that nothing in his proposal forces them or their employers to change their current coverage. The public insurance option, he argued, adds choice and competition to the health insurance system. This is true but it does not address the fear and possibility that companies could choose to reduce or eliminate current health insurance coverage.
The President then offered a new and thought-provoking point about the public option. Look, he said, we have public colleges competing with private colleges and the result is more choice. We know in California that the large and publicly financed UC, CSU and community college systems in California have not put Stanford, USC and other private colleges out of business.
I like the idea of a public health insurance option but I am not sure that it is essential in 2009 and or that a trigger approach isn't a viable compromise.
But I do think there are additional arguments for a public insurance option that the President only hinted at last night.
First, I think there is a point of clarification that most everyone knows but which rarely gets said out loud. We are talking about a public health insurance option, not public health care provision. In the case of public colleges or the Post Office, the payment is publicly funded but the delivery is also done by public employees. It is public funding and public delivery.
In the health care reform debate, no change is proposed in who delivers the care. The same doctors, nurses and hospitals will deliver care with or without a public health insurance option. It is another insurance choice but not a change in who delivers care.
The Post Office is a more interesting case for thinking about a public health insurance option. The Post Office is heavily subsidized although we are trying to make it pay for itself. No one can argue that the Post Office competition has prevented FedEx or UPS from thriving. As the President said if the public health insurance plan can't compete well, it will simply die or shrink as the Post Office is doingalthough that is affected by the drop in demand for paper transmittals.
The key point about choice that is not said often enough is that the choice of employer based health insurance coverage is diminishing and likely to fall further. And the cost to employers of their company plans is increasing much faster than their wages.
That makes the choice of the status quo not a choice at all. It is there now and uncertain for tomorrow. So this is an especially good time to add a new choice and to focus the spotlight on decreasing health care costs, which I think involves changes in medical practice in some cases and changes in how the fee for service system affects care incentives.
Since 2000 the nation's population has increased by 25 million and the number of people covered by employer-based insurance plans has increased by---zero. In fact in 2008 the number of people covered by their employer dropped by 1 million and that figure will surely be higher in 2009, 2010 and 2011.
As a people we have a tendency to imagine problems away or think they can be solved without any change in behavior. We think up all sorts of reasons not to deal with public deficits or the impending Medicare funding crisis. And in this case we are on the verge of thinking that the status quo in employer-based health insurance and costs can continue. It can't so we need to make our choices with that reality in mind.
And, as the President said, our economy and public budgets feel the strain of high and rising health care costs.
I wish there were more attention to rising costs and more attention to being real about how health care insurance reform will be paid for. I am not satisfied with the President's answers but I am not satisfied with anyone's answers in Congress at this point.
But, as the President argued, that part of health care reform that involves improving choice and competition through a public insurance option has a sound foundation and should force us to be real about adding it to an employer-based insurance system under great pressure and unlikely to survive without the pressure to change.

The President's speech last night was well done.
I support a "strong" public option and I believe a majority of Americans who are serious and informed about health care do as well.
Some say just maybe the public options is not absolutely critical, but given the decades of deceit by private industry on health care taking that chance is foolish, dangerous and would only indicate the power of money to corrupt the system.
When you look at the language used on this discussion there is a lot said about insurance companies not being able to refuse people coverage. People who will be forced to buy private insurance. Insurance companies will have to offer coverage and stop denying claims once their customers are covered, but there is nothing said about being affordable or how good the enforcement of regulations will be.
What good is qualifying for insurance that is too expensive for people to afford or that they lose if they become unemployed and cannot pay?
A strong public options is critical to any reform.

After the election but pre-inauguration I attended a panel presentation at the Stanford Faculty Club. Its subject was what to expect in 2009 from the new administration. There were three panel members, experts in healthcare policy, politics and government.
They forecast, among other things, that the public option would be put forward as a strategy to lead to single payer. And that the first steps once enabled would make the process irreversible in any practical way. That is what Obama and the Democrats are doing here.
If you want to believe Obama at face value, you must look at the number of times he was disingenuous in his speech last night, and how that can possibly be reconciled with a his oft proclaimed love of transparency. The answer is he is working to sell a concept that would be unpalatable to a lot of people if they understood where it will end up. And to do it he (and the Democrats) has been anything but transparent. Obama is on record in a speech to a labor group that he is for a single payer system, but he believes it will take some time and patience to get there. In this I do believe he was being transparent.
Polls show a majority of Americans happy with their healthcare and insurance. In order to cover a minority of uninsured Americans, our current plans will be devastated and a new monster government run bureaucracy brought to life. You don't cover 50 million more people, fund a bureaucracy and at the same time save money.
Got any good examples of major government run programs that come in at budget and deliver on the stated initial (unrevised) goals?

"Got any good examples of major government run programs that come in at budget and deliver on the stated initial (unrevised) goals?"
Looks like a variation on the classic false choice to me. Shall we apply the same criterion to private industry, say, the Boeing "Dreamliner" 787?
And gosh, ain't it too bad Stanford didn't know its Faculty Club was such an oracle? Maybe it could have sheltered its endowment from the financial crash if it had sought the panel's advice.

Harassment warning for County Durham woman
A woman from County Durham has been given a harassment warning by police for sending abusive messages on Facebook to the family of a toddler who went missing more than 30 years ago.
Katrice Lee disappeared at the age of two while her mother went shopping in Paderborn, Germany, in November 1981.
The family have recently received an apology from the Government about how the original Royal Military Police investigation of the case was handled.
But earlier this year the family were contacted by a woman claiming to be missing Katrice.
However, after the RMP looked into the claims, including a DNA test, it was found that the woman was not her.
The woman, from Bishop Auckland, County Durham, then sent abusive messages to Katrice's mother and to her sister, Natasha.
– Durham Police
"Following an allegation of online harassment by the family in the Hampshire area, a harassment warning was issued to a 32-year-old woman from the Bishop Auckland area.
The protection from harassment warning was formally issued by ourselves on behalf of the Royal Military Police."

"If someone tied you up and went to go beating you or attacking you, there is nothing you can do. Same thing with that dog," rescuer Jess McClain told local CBS affiliate WREG. "If another dog came up and attacked him he can't do a thing, or eat or drink."
McClain and about a dozen other local residents helped in the search for the dog after fellow rescuer Beth Gresham posted a picture of the dog to Facebook last Friday.
"Got within 15-20 feet and it raised its head but went into the woods," Gresham wrote on her Facebook page. "Came back out and was able to get this pic (it has been zoomed in) I am leaving jobsite now and going back by."
Gresham had tried to help the dog, but she says it was frightened and ran into the nearby woods when she attempted to approach it. No one is sure if the container was placed on the dog's head intentionally or if it accidentally became stuck after looking for food.
The small white dog with black spots appeared very thin and was likely one of many dogs abandoned in the nearby woods, according to Gresham.
Thankfully, the story has a happy ending. The Examiner reports that the dog, now named Miracle, was found on Saturday night after rescuers used container cutters to free it. The rescue team also found another stray dog during its search, and it looks as if both will find new homes.
Miracle's rescue was a heartwarming example of social media being used for good. Gresham's photo was shared by hundreds of local Facebook users and eventually picked up by WREG, which ran a story on the search for the dog.

They also share their expertise and experience with future Ambassadors and stimulate network building and professional profiling not only for Meet in Reykjavik as well as others.
SUPPORTThe dedicated team of Meet in Reykjavik can offer impartial advice on all aspects of instigating that your conference be held in Reykjavik, from initial bidding to attract a conference, through to contract negotiation, sales and successful hosting.
EASY ACCESSIceland is perfectly located to "meet in the middle", due to its geographical location midway between North America and Europe. It is easy to access, about three-hours away by plane from Europe and five-hours away from the North American East Coast and with an extensive airline network, connecting through the international hub at the Keflavik International Airport, which was voted the best airport in its category by ACI in 2011.

LET'S CREATE SOMETHING EXTRAORDINARYIceland is small. Just outside Reykjavik city limits extraordinary nature awaits and it has been the backdrop of spectacular events. Have you had lunch or dinner inside a fissure between two of the Earth's Continental plates?

You will not need to get more involved in the preparations of the conference or event than you want to. We will support you and work with you or any contact within the association you are member of in an effort to bid for hosting a future conference in Reykjavik
Icelanders are known for their quick response and enterprising work, which was reflected in how effortlessly they welcomed President Reagan and Secretary Gorbachev for a summit conference in Reykjavik in 1986. Some claim that this meeting marked the beginning of the end of the cold war. It certainly marked the beginning for Reykjavik as one of the most interesting venues for conferences, meetings, summits and events.

LaMarcus Aldridge has averaged 25/10 for the last 29 games. To put this in perspective, I searched for all players in the last 25 years who averaged 25/10 or better for the whole season. Eight players did it for a combined 36 seasons. The names are among the all-time great big men:
- Shaq 10 times
- Karl Malone 9 times
- Barkley 5 times
- Hakeem 4 times
- David Robinson 4 times
- Ewing 2 times
- Duncan 1 time
- Webber 1 time
All are but Duncan and Webber are on the NBA's top 50 of all time list, published in 1996 on the NBA's 50th birthday. Certainly Duncan would make the list today.
So you can conclude that during LaMarcus's streak, he has been playing at an all-time top 50 level! Keep it up, LA! It's a pleasure to watch you!

Whether you're a man or a woman, some of us do not want our stomach hair. It can be dark and ugly and no one wants to talk about it. Some have a lot and others just a few strands, but all of those hairs can be removed! Here are some ways to remove that unwanted belly hair:
1. Shaving
- Pros: It's quick and easy and can be done in the shower. Although it only lasts a day or so before you see re-growth, it's a great method to see how you like it.
- Cons: Once you shave, you will have to shave often. Itchiness almost always comes when the hair starts to grow back, and ingrown hairs are a strong possibility.
2. Depilatories (Hair Removal Creams)
- Pros: They're easy to use and relatively inexpensive. Some can work in the matter of minutes.
- Cons: It's a very temporary method that will only last a couple days at best. Hair removal creams are made very strong to break down the hair follicle so they often will burn people or leave their skin extremely red, even if they're not allergic (read Nair Shower Power review).
3. Waxing
- Pros: You can be hair-free for three weeks or more. With repeated waxing over time, your stomach hair will grow back thinner and less coarse.
- Cons: If not done correctly, it can leave you with burns, redness, ingrown hair and a mess (read: waxing side effects).
4. Sugaring
- Pros: While it also removes the hair follicle from the root like waxing, it's less painful and gentler to the skin than waxing. The traditional method using sugaring paste (get recipe) is one of the oldest methods of hair removal.
- Cons: Usually not as severe, you can end up with the same bad side effects that waxing can bring on.
5. Laser Hair Removal
- Pros: FDA approved for permanent hair reduction, large areas can be treated at once and home devices are available.
- Cons: With most lasers, you need to have dark hair and lighter skin for safety reasons and to achieve results. Laser hair removal can be expensive because multiple sessions are needed. Risks include scarring, blisters, burns, pigmentation and pain.
Don't have lighter skin and dark hair? Check out the me smooth.
6. Electrolysis
- Pros: The only method FDA approved method of permanent hair removal. You can get electrolysis despite your skin or hair color.
- Cons: It takes multiple sessions and can be painful.

Nice work!
I REALLLLYYY want to go!
X X Contest… fo sho!
The site is GREAT!
yes yes yes one more chance to get tikets
Xcellent new site! I like the photos! I love to see you connect to your audience and community!
This new site kicks ass!
New site looks good! RSVP'd on FB for the contest!
I don't really have any complaints with the site overall. It's really easy to navigate and I like the feed for upcoming shows. My only critique would be that it can appear a little busy with so much stuff in so many colors on one page, but that isn't a deal breaker by any means.
That said, GIMME THOSE TICKETS!!!
cool website, chappies!
I want some tickets!!! xD
I LOVE the XX. I have been wanting to see them since the roo! It would be amazing to win!
the xx is far by the most amazing band. from sound to style. there amazing and will be another band to add to the amazing granada theater =D
I love that you can automatically filter which genre of shows you want to see, it ties in really well with your emailing list. Only change I can think of is if you could make it so clicking the artist's photo would launch the audio player for that artist it would be great!
I want to see XX sooooooo bad I could dance! Yay Granada!
The new site is beautiful!!! I love the fans as the background image and love all these opportunities to win tickets to shows!! Too bad my boyfriend and I missed the chance to get tickets for The XX. He loves them. Post pics!!!
oh my bad i just realized what the contest said! I love the new website it's fun and vibrant!
Love the new site, especially the calendar and quick show links!
I love the Granada and I love your new site! Thanks for being such a great venue!!!
new website looks great- hope I win the tickets to the XX!!
The new website is fantastic! Really dig that quick tickets bar. I would probably add an option that lets me get into the Joanna Newsom show for free, though. Just my professional opinion.
That's my birthday! and I love the group, the song islands and crystalized are my favorite songs. also like heart skipped a beat and night time.
The website is great! The only thing I'd suggest is that I'd love to see more contests!
Nice, I like it!
Love the revamped calendar, and that actual set times are listed for upcoming shows!
who has tix?
love the black on the background!! makes the text pop out more!!!
love it!! SOOO MUCH TO READ ABOUT!!!
the new site looks nice. aesthetically the three columns are a little overwhelming but it could be cause i am used to the old site.
i do love that all the information i want is right there in my face and i don't have to scroll around or dig around the site for answers.
The site looks much better.
love the calendar view and the provenance of the artists. good job with the new website!
To be honest, it's kind of cluttered. The other one was really easy to scroll through, this one kind of jams as much as it can in your face.
I like the new nav, though. And photo galleries are easier to find. Plus, it's nice to not have that player start the second you load the page up.
LOVE the set times! Good work guys!!
the photos are A+!!
So pumped for the show and his solo work! I can't wait to see the Granada on Friday!!!!
Loving the new look! Definitely my favorite venue!
Site looks fantastic!!!
all i have to say is WOW!!! this is a massive improvement– such a neat venue now a website to match!!! woot-woot!!! PS i HEART the XX…..and would be the happiest girl ever to get to go!!! loads of hugs and kisses
Cool new site! Would love to go see the xx!
love the flow of it and its so much more user friendly. more update when it comes to the design layout. like it lots!!!
I love the site! I used to come on here almost everyday to look at shows and get info on things. I really like the change. It's super easy to find the shows i'm lookng for, the menu and find pictures and the videos from shows.
Thanks Granada! You're my favorite venue!
Wow, lovin' the new site! Pick me for XX tix, yall!
lookin good g-theat!
Love the site, Love the contest idea, LOVE LOVE LOVE THE XX. "Underneath and Unexplored Islands and Cities I have been" looking for tickets everywhere and can't find any!!
XX, yo!
Love the genre filter, layout is functional, home page a little busy, one odd thing is that bottom half inch of each page is blocked with a streampod application launch strip…cant figure out how to get rid of it, but I am sure it is me. Big leap in usability and information. Well done!
awesome new site!!! wanna see the XX!!!!!!!
i would do almost anything to see them…one of the best bands going right now
Love me some XX and Granada!
Love The XX! Would love to be at this show. Love The Granada Theater. One of the best place to see a show in town!!!!
Digging the new site. Like that set times are featured here before the show date. Awesome, Great Job!
the site is great, i like everythin on here, much easier. I wouldnt change anything. Id love to go to this concert
Love The XX. My gf and I bought them on vinyl like 7 months ago. Awesome new site. And as always, we love The Granada as we seem to be there pretty frequently for shows.
everything on the site is straight-forward and easy to find. if i added anything, it would be photos of granada-goers in action. not that you need a photobooth, because i think it's way overused and the granada is waaay cooler than that, but it seems like the observer and others are always staked out taking photos at shows and it would be cool to have them posted here as well.
The only thing sexier than your new site is XX!!!!!!
pretty slick. i like it!
Good looking website and easy to navigate!
Please, I need a pair of tickets so bad…
Its readability is improved. The pertinent rock show info stands out better now that it's not attached to an image of the band.
Lovely site! Definitely better than before.
And, my roomie and and I would love to go to the XX!
I need another ticket for my date!
Love the new site almost as much as I love The XX and the Granada. Also I love the fact you can buy your tickets right from the site!!
Definite improvement on the site!
I like the updated site! The calendar view makes it a lot easier to see the upcoming concerts at a glance.
Really dig the new site. It's a lot slicker and more professional looking than the previous one and the "see how many tickets are left" function is fantastic. That'll definitely help me with future ticket purchases.
I love the new website. Everything seems easier to find, and I love the graphics.
Love the new site! Congrats on a great launch! Really liking the calendar feature – very easy to use. Also like the photo slider, although, you may want to optimize future photos – they're a bit slow to load. Great job!
The new site is fantastic! The Granada is truly one of the best venue's I've ever seen shows at. I would love to see XX… seeing as how they are sold out. Hope to win!
I'd probably keel over backwards if I won this.
PS – Really like the new website.
Awesome new site!! I WANT THE TIX TO XX!!
I love the new site & the xx!
Good work on the new site. XX FTW!
The website looks great! Thanks for the opportunity to win tickets. I would love to go to this show!!!
Your new site looks great. Saw the XX at SXSW and they were awesome. Even got a chance to talk to the chick in the group. She was nice and told me that even though it may sound like it, the album was NOT a concept album. The songs just fit together nicely.
New site's pretty sweet, well done Granada! I especially liked the calendar and actual band set times listed. My only critique is that I wish you could go back farther to see past show photos. XX is foreal!
Love the new site!
It's about damn time. This site looks way betta.
The new site looks great! Thanks for doing amazing contests like this one.
The Granada is one of the best places in Dallas for a show, like the Cains Ballroom in Tulsa, the last places you can still get so close to the bands..like the XX ! We live nearby and walk to shows, love it !
I've never been to a concert before and it would blow my mind to lose my concert virginity to The XX at The Granada!
Really love the new site. Very user friendly, nice overall layout. Love sorting by genres, makes it alot easier to see which shows I'd love to see! Haven't come across anything I'd like to see changed.
Absolutely love the site! Looks so much better than the old one. I wouldn't put all the events on the front page as they are. But rather show only the upcoming ones or ones going on sale and then list the rest of them in a list with no pictures. But I love the site.
Looking good guys!
The navigation on the new site is a million times better. Really, a big thank you for revamping the whole thing. I don't particularly have any suggestions than the front page looks a tad bit busy with information.
I'm not going to beg to see The XX, we all know they're amazing. I'm just kicking myself in the ass for not buying my tickets when I had a gut feeling they would sell out.
The site looks great and is easy to navigate.
The site is only as amazing as your level of fan engagement is. And so far you're doing a brilliant job with all of the social media usage you've been doing for the past so-many months. Now, if you'll just give us more multimedia content (literary posts, audio, video, pics, etc.) within your blog posts that actually contain entertainingly substantial content, you'll be on your way to making GranadaTheater.com a daily destination.
In other words… Do as much as you can of what KCRW.com does and you'll beat the crap outta all the other bullshit, corporate venues in Dallas. ROCK ON…
Nice work guys! Love the site!- Here I saw, That's the risk I'd take (gimme those tickets)- I've been waiting too long to give this up (gimme those tickets)- Don't want to get Left waiting outside your door (gimme those tickets)- I was sure You'd give me more (tickets)- But I'm sure, I'm sure you've heard it Before (gimme those tickets)- But U, you just know- you just do (I NEED THOSE TICKETS!!!)
First off, I think the site is very attractive and well organized. I am not a big fan of having 3 uneven columns of information. It makes the page appear a bit overwhelming at first glance. After getting past that initial glance though the website is practical and simple to use. That said, it is horrible to use on a smart phone. Please make a mobile site for smart phones.
I would love to win the XX tickets.
The site is much better than the old one. I would love to go to The xx show. Keep rocking!
Love the new site, easy to find information and fun to look at!
Digging the site. It's better than I can do. Don't really have much to add, except that the videos and galleries get kinda lost at the bottom of the page (even though there's a link at the top). But there's lots of information on the front page, so that's understandable. Easy to navigate, all pertinent information right at the top.
The new website is total-modern, with a style that coincides with the uber-cool that is Granada theatre. I have always said this is my favorite venue in town for being so eclectic and with an awesome staff, and now the website follows suit in being so hip, but not in the hipster kinda way. I am an email subscriber so I am constantly on the site, and attend shows here more than any other venue in Dallas. In fact, I was just on here today to check out the times for today's Neon Indian show and I was yelling to my friend, "OMG! They changed the website!!"
Likes: The style and design is easy to follow, and looks officially like a music website.
There is a precise itinerary for each show, a definite plus!!
The site is also easier to navigate, with a column for each category on the homepage, versus the one long column on the old one.
The colors are really chic, and definitely 2010.
Thanks Granada for keeping it FRESH!!
I like that it says XX sold out, and that we can win tickets. P.S., y'all are awesome.
The new site looks great! I really like the three column view (1 big and 2 smaller ones). Oh, and I'd really like to see the XX I RSVP'd on Facebook as well. Take care!
Awesome site !
Since we had to cancel our trip to ACL this year, it would be so GREAT to win these tickets!!!
I came over from the FB page and didn't realize that my comment was supposed to be about your new page…
So… I think the new page is great – so much easier to find who is playing.
The site is soooo much better. Much easier to navigate, load times are much quicker. Thanks for the improvements!
I missed them at Bonnaroo, would love to see them at my favorite venue!
I love the new website and the XX!
The site looks great!
Functionality is mint.
The fluro accents make the site look like a tad… chav. Gross.
By and large, I don't particularly care, however. Everything I'd use the website for is adequately covered by Facebook and email updates.
Love the idea of the Granada website. It is very easy to read and navigate. If I were to add anything it, would making the comment box at the top of the page versus at the bottom. Overall the site looks great! I would love to win XX tickets!! Thanks!
Website is rad, and me going to this XX show would be too… hook it up!
I hope I win but good luck to everyone!
I love the color scheme of the new site as well at the Featured Community Friends. The genre drop down for upcoming shows is really a great took! I do kind of miss the simplistic layout of the last website but adjusting should be easy!
Some things I dig are the appearance of the "Granada" sign – it automatically hits you and catches your eye just as it does driving down Greenville – the spot-on descriptive subtitle, and the quick accessibility of the tickets to the shows. I think it would be nice to incorporate the colors of the actualy vertical sign on to the site to make it more iconic and recognizable.
The Granada Theatre is awesome and I'm glad the XX are playing here, and I'm happy to help the Granada stay spiffy to keep the music alive through these suggestions.
Just heard the remix of VCR by Four Tet. Super cool. Sure would love to see this show. Thanks for all you do.
I won't lie, I don't have much time to look at the site right now because I am about to head out to grab something to eat before Neon Indian but… i REALLY want xx tickets! (and will check the site out again later)
The site looks great! What an improvement!
This new website is the coolest:) Describing it as "ground breaking" would be an understatement.
I love the stream pad feature and it is totally easy to Navigate.
I HOPE/PRAY I win the XX tickets…The Show is on MY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I wouldn't change a damn thing! It's perfect as it is!
Much improved, nice work!
The new website is alot cleaner and free tickets to XX would make it better!
the site looks great!
Site looks really nice, the big images in the background are awesome. My only complaint is they take a little bit for me to load, but my connection is absurdly slow too.
The site looks its best since I've been visiting it for the last few years! I'D LOVE TO SEE THE XX.
XX tickets please! Duh!
(ps-nice site!)
I figure I'll take a shot. Dig me some XX
Great website! More videos would be awesome and also easier navigation when buying tickets.
I love the XX make me a winner
PS. the new web sight is dope
man. can't get much better than The XX at The Granada.. too legitimate to quitimate.
Wow, the new site is great! The only thing I could think of adding is a parking pass for the lot out back. Again, great site!
i have mass xx for xx……
the new design is a vast improvement. sleek and clean immidietly come to mind which is in stark contrast to the previous design. the navigation is much improved and smoother. information is concise and much easier to digest. The steampad music player should integrate nicely into the whole layout. Bottom line the new site is a massive improvement. Good job.
I really like the new website but I miss being able to play songs by artists from upcoming shows!! I see a streampad bar on the bottom of the page but when I "Click to play all audio posts" it says that no songs are listed :(. Otherwise, everything is a big improvement on the old design
The website looks great. Great design, very clean and all the right information where it can be easily accessed.
the new site is looking great, very easy to navigate! I LOVE The XX and would really like to see them!!!
I LOVE The XX, i REALLY want to see them!!!

Let's do this
Absolutely love the Grananda, just saw Cocorosie and the XX are next, I HOPE!!!!!!!!!!!
Tickets Please!!!!!
Easy site to navigate. Love the picture backgrounds. Love the "GGW" tips for artists I haven't heard of. "Buy tickets" link in calendar for The XX show is a dead-end, maybe need to look out for in sold-out shows. Need to get the shop up and running – I want a t-shirt. Overall – great job!
The new site is awesome! I LOVE the look & how easy it is to navigate!
(P.s. I REALLY want to win those tickets! )
Great site update, much easier to navigate!
Love the Granada, and would love to see the XX there!!!
The new site design is awesome. It has a much cleaner look. The added features moves this already bookmarked site higher up on my favorites list. Great job!
The site looks a lot better, very sleek! Much more friendlier to the eyes than it used to be.
New website looks great!! The band overviews are easier to read and the calendar was a much needed addition. but I would like to see either a link or a rollover feature on the calendar pertaining to each of the bands. Keep booking great bands.. I Love the Granada! 8)3
the re-design is more modern and easier to use. also, i want tickets please.
The new site looks, well like it should. Some how you guys have managed to create a site that holds true to your local status, while still looking professional. The new calendar is nice, but don't rely too much on it. Most of the people I know like the old site because of your original presentation of the bands, ie… pictures, sounds like, music links etc… (which you have done an excellent job of incorporating into the new site). My favorite new feature is the quick tickets. Usually I know what I'm looking for when I come to your site. The new app. will help me reach what I am looking for much quicker. Thanks for all of your hard work!
P.S: I don't have a facebook, and don't plan on getting one. enjoy the show!
Love the site, easy to navigate. Love the backgrounds on each page more than anything though! Add some color to the bottom page links!
Nice work Granada!
Cool! Lots more info!
Gimme tix!!!
The new site looks great — it's much easier to find the info you want now. Plus, I happened to love the XX.
The light in my mind is little without the humble guidance of your sound
…And we became a fabulous opera
Great new website. Seems like the right step. I always looked forward to your emails but now it's convenient to check out granadatheater.com XX Tixkets.
Great new website. Seems like the right step. I always looked forward to your emails but now it's convenient to check out granadatheater.com XX Tickets Por Favor!
I love the Quick Tickets drop down box!! It makes things super quick and easy.
I thought going to this show was "out of reach, but I'm sure, I'm sure you've heard it before." I thought I'd be "left waiting outside your door" missing out on the xx show. Then I saw the Granada Theater's post on Facebook and my "Heart Skipped a Beat" thinking there might be a chance that I could actually go to the show!
Pretty PLEASE! I need those tickets!
Oh yeah! count me in for sure!
love the new layout…very fresh! lookin' forward to winning these tickets. the show sold out before i had the cash for tickets.
Congrats on the new site!
The look is a bit too Myspace-esque in my opinion. However, the separated modules give the site a clear sense of organization.
XX me, please.
The new website is looking a lot more fresh than the old; I'm glad the green is gone (although it's my favorite color)! The banner looks nice, too.
The XX also looks nice, but I bet they'd look better live and I would LOVE TO HAVE THOSE TICKETS!
Thanks, Granada AKA Best of Dallas!
I love the new website in the way that it's more interactive with its users and provides a lot more feedback related to shows and the venue then ever before. Right off the bat the homepage shows up and coming shows and what you can expect from the Granada. The only problem that I can encounter is why you haven't put the site up this way since the beginning. shame shame
Great website. I love how clean and sleek it is. The format is a lot better – less scrolling. Beautiful. Love the color palette. It's very fitting for the feel of the venue.
Would love to see the XX, such a phenomenal group. I play their album all the time. "Crystalized," ftw.
The redesign of the website looks fantastic. It's much easier to maneuver and I love the background photo. The Granada is my favorite venue and I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to see the XX on Friday.
The new site is kickin'. Love the layout for bands, purchasing tickets, and how you finally got all the photos organized instead of having to browse FB.
Good job guys!
Oh, and did I mention I would do just about anything (aside from paying $100 on CL) for a ticket?
Every time I see a show at Granada I end up buying 2 tickets to at least 3 shows that are coming up, I don't know how I managed to miss the XX.
I've been on this website many times and it seems that this upgrade is by far the best. If I have any new ideas of what is missing I'll be sure to post another comment. Keep the indie artists coming and all of the people shall arrive.
Thank ya'll.
I absolutely LOVE the "Goes Good With" comparisons. I always read and follow these because they've introduced me to so much fantastic music. Lots of which are now my favorites. Thank you :)))))
The site definitely seems a lot less cluttered now. Very hip, eye-catching layout. Love the new look!!
I actually have no complaints at all about the new site. The Calendar function is the best thing to happen to the Granada since The XX announced they would play there!
Easy enough hoops to jump through for VIP tkts! The new site is awesome and lots of great new stuff. Can't wait to see the XX – thank you!
I'm really loving the new site, especially the calender!!! A minor thing that I think would be cool to change is make the background fixed so that it scrolls with the page. It's a personal preference thing though
Anyways I'd really love to see the XX they're amazing!!!!
I like the new site … Much better organization than the old one!
The XX is so lovely. I would love to see them live and in person. It would really add to meeting Kirsten in front of the Granada and talking Marie Antoinette. Let us eat XX.
The new site is amazing<3 It's Colorful, creative, and i love it. it makes me want to go to tons of concerts here(: (including the xx) (: But i think the website improved, and is incredible. <3
I love the new layout.
Much much more easy to navigate.
It'd be nice if you didn't have to scroll down on the calendar page though, and it was all on one. Then when you go to the next month you don't have to keep going back up and down. No big deal though. Minor hangup.
lllluuuuuuvvvvvzzzzzzz it
i knew this show would sell out, i wanted to make sure that i could go before buying tickets. i checked the site regularly to make sure there were tickets available. i found out that i could go, went to buy tickets, ya'll had sold out. i saw some available just a couple of days before. devestation
just read that you were asking for comments about the site. it looks great.
it's a pretty cool site. i would add some flash animation. i love that crap. but ya its an ok site. you did an ok job at grabbing the essence of being inside the granada but i think you should make the huge painting on the granada ceiling the background picture. I NEED TICKETS lol
I like the site overall. It's easy to navigate, I like how it's organized. The only constructive criticism would be to simplify the home page, it feels a bit busy for me. I would love to win the tickets! Thanks so much.
I like the black background and color scheme, not distracting against the flyers. I would put the search bar above the 'Just Announced' side bar, that way the front page where all the flyers and info will be the main focal point. Too much negative space where the Search bar is.
kudos on the site!
totally dig it way smoother, but called me old fashion i liked the old one just cause it went straight to the calender….
<3 but love it!
p.s. i should totally get those tixs for the simple fact i know it would be magical!
The site looks great! I would add more Polyphonic Spree concerts for sure.
hmmm thursday is my friday, friday is my saturday.
hope to win these tickets, sold out broke my heart.
but YAY XX for visiting TX either way :]
This new site is very professional looking! Easy to navigate and I've been able to find what I've looked for. Nice work.
Dear Granada, you are my favorite venue in the whole wide world. If I get to see The XX on Friday I will be loyal to you for the rest of my life! Much love
I love this band! I would love to go see them live!
This site is lookin' good!!
Great site guys! I like the interface, the high-contrast color scheme for easy reading, adding community interactivity through comments, and the set times now posted for each show.
I'd really love to win a pair of tickets to the xx. My girlfriend is a huge fan of theirs, and we're about to move and may not have a chance to see them for a long time.
It'd be nice if the upcoming shows had a up and down button at the bottom too.
Dear Granada, you are my favorite venue in the whole wide world! If I get to see The XX on Friday night, I promise to be loyal to you for the rest of my life!!!!! East Dallas love <3
Genre sorting is a great feature! It would be cool if you could listen to every act on the bill.
I'm digging the site. It's got a nice color palette. Things can get really distracting when a site overdoes it on color and special effects, but you guys did a good job at keeping it simple, but spunky. The quick tickets section is super convenient for when you just want to see at a glance the names of bands coming without the dates and biography. Also, awesome photo gallery idea, although I had a little trouble viewing the pictures. They came up as url addresses instead of the actual photo. Great concept though! The site has an urban feel to it; very welcoming.
New website is rockin' guys! Sooooo, pick me cuz I love you like a fat kid loves chocolate. I support you guys all the time via twitter & FB.
Best. Website. Ever.
The XX was the 1st band I saw at Bonnaroo 2010. I had never heard of them and didn't know anything about them. My friend drug me along and the show was great. I would love to see them again! This time I can appreciate how awesome they are!
i like what u did with the place!!
Aesthetically, it reflects the vibe of the venue – and, given the "Best Venue to Catch a Live Show in Dallas" title, that's not easy to harness.
Space provides definition – be it on a website or the song structures of The XX. The simplicities yield an end-product much more complex and dynamic. The website is user-friendly and easy on the eyes – it all comes together – its "Crystalised."
Good work, ladies and gents! I defintiely dig your work. As for the tickets, well, that would make my month. Either way, thanks for your work – you give us all a place to feel alive and well.
Looks Great!!
I wanna win some tiXX!!
I like the overall layout of the site. However, I wish there was some sort of search option so I could specifically look for things. That would make navigation much easier. Otherwise, great work!
rsvped and the xx's remixes are good too my favorite is the magic wands the warrior.y
Awesome new website! More compact and easy to maneuver. Good job! Oh, and would love to win the tix! =)
Love the new calendar layout, miss the music player but glad to see artist previews still under more info. Sometimes I've never heard of someone and Granada shows have clued me in on several of my new favorite artists.
oh yeah you new site looks very clean and fresh!
I'm really diggin' the new website. I like the upcoming show feed. It seems fairly easy to navigate and it's very attractive to the eye. It really pulls you in and gets the point across that The Granada has ALOT going on!!! Thanks for being the best venue in Dallas and thanks for always giving us opportunities like this!
the site looks great – can't wait to check out the XX while drinking Dos XX
The website is great, I like the interactive feel of it and the graphics layout. Add more music clips to spotlight the upcoming featured talent maybe. Overall, it is wonderful, keep up the good work and dedication!
I would do xx rated things for these tickets
Pingback: Tweets that mention Win VIP tickets to the sold out XX show -- Topsy.com
please please please let me get what i want.
20,000 people saw XX at Lolapalooza. The Granada venue does not do intimate justice!! Best theatre in Dallas!
I'd never been to the granada until last month! I saw Sarah Jaffe for the first time and absolutely loved the venue (and pizza!)! My favorite thing about the website is the 'Sounds like' feature. It has introduced me to so many new bands! I'd really love to go to the xx show and get my jam on! Thanks!
i love your website. i've never been to the granada, but from the lineup of talent i see, i can tell you guys have a great musical curator.
…and pick me to win these tickets , because it would really score me romantic points with my new gf(the xx plays 2 of our songs).
I'm loving the new page. It's more visual appealing to the viewer, and is very user friendly. The only suggestion I have is on the concert calendar adding the "Goes with" or "sounds like" bands somewhere with each act like you used to on the event listings. –Plus, I really hope I win the XX tickets.
Really like the new website (no changes needed), but also like the other strides Granada has taken lately. The Facebook page is really great about posting updates, the (somewhat) recent posting of professional-quality concert photos, and particularly the new addition of concert art/posters. Granada has always been my favorite venue in Dallas, but these additions have helped to create a more complete experience then just going to the shows. Hi five, Granada. Hopefully you can make room for me at the XX show tomorrow night. And hopefully they'll do their covers of Teardrops and You've Got the Love.
The new site looks and feels much more exciting and vibrant. The site really feels fully integrated with social networking and is very user friendly.
The "Sounds like" feature is a real plus for a venue such as yours which brings many smaller and less well known artists to the attention of the customer who is more keen to appreciate them. It's a very symbiotic relationship.
My only complain would be to make the Events Calender a little more accessible, as that is certainly a focal point for many site visitors.
Great work guys Here's to being the best place to see live music in Dallas!
I like to party!
The site looks great by the way. I am really hoping you give me the tickets. The XX is my favorite band ever since I heard them in Europe last year.
the site is pretty cool! cool beans.
Yeah! GRANADA THEATER show me some of the same lovin' you always give me when im around BAYBAYY!
I loooooove the simplicity of the website. Actually, I think I find it easier to sort through what sort of shows I'm looking for as well since I usually lean more toward Indie Rock/Pop.
It would be nice if on your calendar, somehow the events were displayed in a visual manner. Like with their poster or something. The text only is a little boring. Make anything a square shape and it will probably look really good.
I'm really happy that they were booked at Granada already and then blew up because of the Mercury Prize! Gives you guys some much deserved attention!
PWWEASE I'll purchase a bottle for the staff
Wow!! Sweet new site! Super stoked about the new online store, too. SO sad I missed out on tix to XX. Best venue (and now website) in DFW!
I like it! I would also, incidentally, like tickets.
Every time I hear the 'xx axis' in my construction class, I think of how much I would rather be listening to the xx – which I could do later today given certain circumstances…
Gimme…Gimme…Gimme!!! =)
Hello lover…(Granada). I will see you tonight!
New site looks much much better than previous…
Site looks good, would love the tickets!
I like the new site. Seems much more user friendly and allows for more listening and viewing music videos of who's coming to the venue so you can get a feel for which shows you want to check out.
This a truly great post and may be one that should be followed up to see what are the results
A friend e-mailed this link the other day and I'm excitedly waiting your next article. Carry on on the amazing work.
ha, I will experiment my thought, your post get me some good ideas, it's truly awesome, thanks.

text: Since Papelbon is gone, we are left with a vacancy at closer. Sure, we could use Bard-- but I think it may not be such a bad idea to improve the position with a proven closer and keep Bard where he is, and is effective. In this case, I think the Sox should go after Francisco Cordero. He had a great year in 2011, putting together a 2.45 ERA and saving 37/43 chances. He also has had success in good hitters parks: Great American Ballpark, Miller Park, and Rangers Ballpark. Since he will be 37 at the beginning of 2012, he likely will not be in a good position to demand a big contract. Plus, there is a fairly good market for closers with Heath Bell, Ryan Madson, and Matt Capps also on the market. With these factors together, I think he could be had for something like 2 years/$16 million. I don't really expect the Sox to do this, as I feel we'll probably stick with Bard. However, if they were to acquire a closer, I think Cordero is the way to go.

Tyler Perry's House of Payne is a comedy series about a multigenerational, working class family who experiences all of life's struggles with faith, love and most importantly humor.

In addition to CJ's family, Pops and Ella's son, Calvin, a wise-cracking college kid with no money, hangs out at home which makes it impossible for Pops to have any peace and quiet. It soon becomes evident just how wide the generation gap is, as the family tries to find a way to coexist through all of life's hilarious ups and downs.

Mind-Bender of the Day
"I was watching a smart debate recently on the Major League Baseball Network about the steroid era and the Hall of Fame when Al Leiter brought Jack Morris' name up. Morris, said Leiter, taught him the value of "pitching to the scoreboard" and not the stat sheet. Leiter said it was the best advice he ever got. Murphy has mentioned Cliff Lee's 2012 season as recent evidence of this. There is no doubt that Lee deserved better. But the naked eye, the one that watched the season in its entirety, recalls at least a handful of times when he received substantial leads and could not hold them. Morris would say, I suppose, that in those cases, he failed to pitch to the scoreboard." Oh my.
