Albany -- There's only three more home games for the South Georgia Wildcats this season, and team leaders hope to fill all the seats.
The Wildcats are pushing a new Family 4-pack promotion. That means football fans can get four $20 tickets for the price of two.
The team has high expectations this season and want fans to pack the Civic Center.
"Three more opportunities for fans to check this team out and for us to get people in the seats and we're making a playoff push. I feel pretty good we'll be in the playoffs. Hopefully we can get a home game or two but this is kind of one of those promotions to end the season," said Wildcats General Manager Darren McPhail.
You can't get the special deal on game day, but you can purchase the tickets Monday through Friday at the Civic Center box office.
The Wildcats will face the Daytona Beach Thunderbirds at 7:30 Saturday night.

Deeply Concerned Chris Matthews Fears Climate Change Will 'Create Trade Routes Across the Arctic Circle!'
Appearing on fellow MSNBCer Ed Schultz's radio show yesterday, Chris Matthews waxed apocalyptic about what he believes will be a dire consequence of climate change.
Matthews told Schultz of an unidentified friend in Alaska, presumably not Sarah Palin, who warned him of what's to come from warming temperatures (audio) --
And to say there's no issue with climate? You know, a friend of mine is talking about, she lives up in Alaska, she says we're going to be able to, maybe this is good for shipping, we're going to start having trade routes across the Arctic Circle! We're going to start having, you know what I mean?, people are going to be going to Norway in boats and we're going to have shipping lines doing it. Don't tell me we don't have a climate thing going on. There's something strange going on.
Yikes, trade routes through the Arctic! Next thing you know there'll be commerce, profits! Worse still ... boats going to Norway. Oh the humanity ...
Just what would an allegedly unfortunate outbreak of capitalism in the Far North resemble? A May 2009 National Geographic article titled "Arctic Landgrab" described the "former fishing town" in Hammerfest, Norway, home to the world's northernmost liquefied natural gas facility, Snohvit --
... I expect to see the start of production -- but it is a false start, one of many. The gas field is in the Barents Sea, 800 feet underwater, connected by 90 miles of pipes to an ultramodern plant. The plant, on a grassy island abutting the beautiful 9,400-person town, is northern Norway's largest ever industrial project. Viewed from the Hammerfest shopping mall, it is a tangle of smokestacks, lights, and tubes, backed by a fjord and a row of snowy peaks.
For now, StatoilHydro, the operator, will move gas up the pipes, process it, and export it by tanker -- half of it to Cove Point, Maryland, half to Bilbao, Spain. But soon carbon dioxide, separated from the natural gas, will travel the other direction down the pipes: StatoilHydro will inject it into the seabed to combat global warming. Snohvit promises to be one of the world's cleanest petroleum projects. During one test run, however, the winds blew ash from Snohvit's flares -- chimneys burning off excess gas -- that turned cars and homes black. StatoilHydro brought in doctors to test for carcinogens and handed out reparations checks to angry residents.
It is a measure of petroleum wealth's appeal that I find only one local politician opposed to the plant: a 19-year-old from the revolutionary-socialist Red party. Snohvit pays Hammerfest $22 million a year in property taxes. The town is awash in new projects: renovated schools, a bigger airport, a sports arena, a "full-digital," glass-walled cultural center. Strollers are everywhere in the snow-covered streets. It is easy to forget that Hammerfest was recently a dying town, shrinking in population, the most violent place in Norway. In his bay-front office, a local official named Snorre Sundquist is circumspect about Snohvit. "People didn't like the soot," he says, "but they accepted it.
That sole Hammerfest politician opposed to Snohvit -- also a prime candidate for future MSNBC contributor.

The old days*
Submitted by cajun2 on Fri, 07/15/2011 - 10:43pm.
Back in the 50's when I was but a child, few homes had air conditioning, cars certainly did not, nor were there A/C's in the dr's office, the drug store, the grocery store or restaurants. The temperatures were about the same average as today. However, we were not sitting at a desk, in a cubicle, typing on a keyboard. We were picking cotton, digging potatoes, hoeing in the bean field, shucking corn in wagon in the middle of a field. At the hottest part of the day, we would take a break. We would sit on the porch and shell peas or beans until cool enough to go back into the fields.
Today, people are so enraptured with their own comfort and pleasures, they have forgotten that it is technology and our life styles that have changed, not the climate. And I have every intention of calling these "global warming fear mongers" spoiled brats.

Generations later, there is still those hard working folks building homes, building roads, working in the fields in JULY. Notice, it is only those intellectual elites who express great fear of global warming.

"The flooding and forest fires in the United States this year are evidence of 'the kind of dramatic climate impact' climate change models have predicted." Now, I suppose that would be pretty compelling if it weren't for the fact that those climate change models have been designed to predict any conceivable weather eventuality, thus producing a circular, self-validating illogic that only numbskulls and the petulantly dishonest would tout.

I had an uncle, a retired Army vet, who would mow his grass at night with a flashlight to escape the heat. Most of the rest of the day he sat around with his buddies under a big oak tree and drank a beer or three with them. Boy was there a lot of BS going on there. Sure do miss that.
I never pickled cotton or cropped tobacco. I did my share of hoeing. I had to get it done early in the morning or I could not go spend the day with my buddies out for our next great adventure of the summer. We had 2 big oak trees we sat under to shell peas or break green beans. Also used then on Sundays to make homemade ice cream-actually ice milk but it was good.

I don't know who this "friend" is, but she sure is illiterate. There's been trade routes across the Arctic circle for at least 9 months out of every year for well over 150 years, ever since the first sail powered Ice Breakers were developed and deployed back in the 1850's. 100 years ago, Coal fired, Steam powered, ice breakers replaced wind power and tougher, stronger ice breakers widened those routs considerably and stretched them out to 10 months out of every year. New "modern" Oil and diesel powered ice beakers, made from high strength steel, have made those trade routes virtually ice free year round now for over 50 years.

Climate Change Was Our Iraq War of Climate WMDs andfearmongering

"Climate Variation Is Undeniable"; spring?, summer?, fall?, winter? and YES there are plenty of ancient tropical fossils under the Arctic's melting ice.
Every single CO2 scientist had their own personal and unique definition of climate crisis. Why? Because climate blame was a lab coat consultants w*et-dream. They studied "effects" of something that never happened for 25 years and called it scientific consensus. Not surprising since it was scientists and their pesticides and cancer causing chemicals that polluted the poor little five billion year old planet in the first place. They also gave us germ warfare, deep sea drilling technology, cruise missiles and land mines. And you want to trust these so called saints in the church of science enough to look your kids in the eyes and tell them they will die an unspeakable death from CO2 if they don't start turning the lights out more often? And now, just as we were all set to pay a tax to make the weather colder, Obama never even mentions the crisis in his state of the union speech and the thousands of consensus scientist did not march in the streets in mass protest for Obama bailing on them. Not surprising because this illusion of consensus had the scientists out numbering the protestors anyways. The new majority is the former believer majority and the new denier is any old faded doomer that doesn't know that reality. The world has walked away from handing over the management of the climate to giant carbon trading stock markets, massive energy corporations and pandering politicians because false fear is always unsustainable. Welcome back home CO2, the plants still love you.
How many Climate Scientists does it take to change a light bulb?
None. BUT, they DO all have complete consensus that it WILL change.

Ted Danson redux
Submitted by ChrisNH on Fri, 07/15/2011 - 11:00pm.
Ted Danson, in a now-famous Leftist PSA from the early 1980s, solemnly declared that 'Boston and New York would be underwater in ten years' if 'We Didn't Do Something.'
Christopher Matthews is Ted Danson redux.
I do believe his hysteria will escalate as Obamo's re-election fortunes become more dire. He may even decide to 'pursue other opportunities' rather than sit glumly in front of the camera night after night in 2012, wringing his hands on the implosion of Liberalism.
Ahhh...where's that soundbyte about 'Perpetual Democratic majorities' that Leftist pundits were licking their chops over as soon as Obamo won in November 2008? It would be so nice to revisit that.

Ice Breakers Have Been Trading at Russian Artic Ports 100 yr.

You wonder if people who know him sometimes can't resist pulling the leghumber's leg. The northwest passage around Alaska was pioneered almost as soon as they could build hulls strong enough to stand up to the ice. If we had not built the Panama canal their would have been much more sea traffic around the north side of alaska. The effort to keep the ice broken in the passage has been too expensive but with the ships today that are greater than panmax, greater than the maximum size ship for the Panama Canal, and the Panama Canal reaching maximum capacity we will see more ships going north of Alaska to Europe including Norway. You would think that Matthew would know this.

Climate change dangers?
Submitted by big.league.slider on Sat, 07/16/2011 - 1:11am.
Since recent climate data has shown without question that the earth has been slowly cooling over the past decade, does Matthews have a plan for combating the ecological horror of global cooling? I mean if a 1degC increase in global temperatures will result in massive species extinction and global calamities, shouldn't a similar 1degC decrease in global temperatures wreak the same havoc?
Matthews must also have a public-school education. As for "trade routes across the Arctic Circle", apparently he's never heard of a modern invention called the "commercial jet aircraft". Cargo and passenger commercial jets fly routes over the poles dozens of times each day.
As for his concerned "friend in Alaska", it's probably Lisa Murkowski.

"And to say there's no issue with climate? You know, a friend of mine is talking about, she lives up in Alaska, she says we're going to be able to, maybe this is good for shipping, we're going to start having trade routes across the Arctic Circle!"
Uhm as opposed to what, exactly? The current Arctic Circle trade routs that have been used since 325 BC?
Has Tingles ever heard of the The Northwest Passage is a sea route connecting the Atlantic and Pacific through the Arctic Ocean.
America was discovered BECAUSE they were looking for a another route OTHER THAN the Northwest Passage.
How ignorant of the world and history of the world to say "we're going to start having trade routes across the Arctic Circle!"

Every day brings another assinine comment from Chrisse Tingle. I wonder if he is drinking from a lead cup, or has some other disease other than liberalism.
He is completely irrelevent...just like Queffy Olberwoman. And to think he was going to run for senate a few years ago.
Among other reasons I can't stand Chrisse Tingle is that he interrupts everyone all the time, annoying all 3 viewers of his show at any given time.

Camel Racing at Cotley Point-to-Point
2:00pm Sunday 23rd March 2014 in News
ORGANISERS hope horse racing fans won't get the hump when they see camels taking part in the Cotley Point-to-Point this month.
Four camels are set to come thundering down the finishing straight, ridden by jockeys wearing flowing Lawrence of Arabia style regalia, all in aid of the Dorset & Somerset Air Ambulance charity.
Final preparations are being made for the annual event, which is in its 61st year, and despite last month's deluge organisers are confident that they can avoid a repeat of the 2012 meeting which had to be cancelled at the last minute because of bad weather.
Tom Eames, event chairman, said: "We've got four camel races, each with four camels competing, and we've been inundated with riders willing to raise sponsorship in order to be jockeys and from businesses wanting to sponsor the camels.
"Riding the camels is thrilling, even if I wasn't sure who was in control, me or the camel, and several other organisers have held camel racing with enormous success.
"We want to encourage as many people as possible to come point-to-point racing as it's a great sport which people of all ages can enjoy."
Camels will run on the flat over a shorter distance of around one furlong at 11.30am, 12 noon, 12.30pm and 1pm, and Tom said if it is a success they will consider including it in next year's event.
Normal racing will resume after the camel races with the first of six races at 1.30pm and the last at 4.30pm.
There are nine fences measuring 4ft 3ins, including an open ditch, all jumped twice.
Between 2.40pm and 3.20pm the famous lemon and white Cotley hounds will parade.
Organisers hope to raise more than £4,000 from the racing, which takes place on Sunday, March 30, at Cotley Farm, near Chard.
Tickets cost £20 per car (£10 for those with just one person), and there will be a bar, a barbecue, trade stands, a bouncy castle, a Tote and assorted bookmakers.

Point-to-point is all part and parcel of the hunting circuit and these racing events are just fund raising events via gambling to keep the old cruel tradition of hunting poor defenless wildlife in the countryside for fun and enjoyment.

By Brian Messenger
---- — METHUEN — At least six applicants for city solicitor were interviewed last month during a secret meeting at lawyer Arthur Broadhurst's downtown law office, The Eagle-Tribune has learned.
The meeting, which was held by a City Council subcommittee and lasted several hours, violated the state Open Meeting Law because a public notice was never filed beforehand.
But that didn't prevent the majority of councilors last week from heaping praise on the solicitor hiring process, even after current Solicitor Peter McQuillan suggested more than one meeting was held without public knowledge — a charge Council Chairman Sean Fountain denies.
The council also acted against McQuillan's advice when it voted last Tuesday to proceed with interviews for solicitor finalists Richard D'Agostino and William Faraci, documents show.
Two other finalists, Kerry Anderson and Robin Stein, abruptly dropped out of the running two weeks ago. Given their departure, McQuillan on March 8 wrote "a reasonable approach would be to begin the selection process anew."
Instead, councilors voted 6-3 to move forward with interviews for D'Agostino and Faraci later this month.
The search for a new city solicitor was triggered Jan. 7 when councilors voted 5-4 against reappointing McQuillan to a two-year term. McQuillan, Methuen's city solicitor since 2005, will remain on the job until the council names his successor.
Overseeing the search for McQuillan's replacement is a six-member search committee made up of councilors Fountain, Jennifer Kannan, Tom Ciulla and Lisa Ferry and local lawyers Broadhurst and Bryan Chase.
Kannan and Ciulla were among the committee members to defend the search process before Tuesday's vote.
"The process was done on the up-and-up other than that one meeting," said Kannan, who last Friday announced she is challenging Mayor Stephen Zanni in this fall's elections.
"I feel totally comfortable with the process," added Ciulla. "It should continue. I don't think there's a problem."
Councilors Joyce Campagnone and Michael Condon commended the search committee for its work.
"Through every process there's some bumps," said Condon.
The solicitor opening was announced Jan. 11 and advertised in The Eagle-Tribune, Boston Globe and on the city website. A two-week application window closed Jan. 25 with 12 people applying. The position will pay between $87,390 and $113,144 per year.
On Tuesday, Fountain said several applicants didn't meet the minimum qualifications. Some had no experience, he said.
The secret meeting was held Feb. 6 at Broadhurst's law office on Osgood Street.
Councilors Fountain and Ferry said the location was chosen because City Hall was closed that evening and the city would have been forced to pay a custodian to open up the building, turn on the heat and lights, and lock up afterward.
"It wasn't to hide anything," said Ferry. "It was a convenience thing. Arthur Broadhurst offered us his conference room."
It is unclear whether six or eight applicants were interviewed that evening. Half-hour time slots were lined up for each applicant, and afterward Fountain said search committee members identified four finalists. No vote was taken, he said.
"We thought four of them stood out more than the others," said Fountain.
A public notice for the Feb. 6 meeting was never posted. The Open Meeting Law in Massachusetts requires that meetings of public bodies — including City Council subcommittees — be publicized 48 hours in advance, even for closed-door executive sessions.
Fountain initially told The Eagle-Tribune on Feb. 11 that four finalists had been chosen. A day later, The Eagle-Tribune reported the Feb. 6 meeting was held illegally because the public was never notified.
The newspaper also reported that Fountain's plan to hold finalist interviews behind closed doors, and to only release two of the four finalists' names prior to a City Council vote, were both flagrant Open Meeting Law violations.
Fountain promptly reversed course and said finalist interviews will be held in public, but not before seeking advice from McQuillan.
In a response letter dated Feb. 13, McQuillan, citing state conflict-of-interest law, declined to offer an opinion because he is still serving as city solicitor. But he forwarded Fountain's request to the state Attorney General's Office of Open Government in a separate letter.
Attached to that letter was a copy of the agenda for the search committee's first meeting, held Jan. 31 at City Hall.
"It is my understanding that there were subsequent meetings without compliance, in all respects, with the Open Meeting Law, one such meeting being held in the private offices of a local attorney who was also selected a member of the sub-committee," wrote McQuillan.
McQuillan went on to write that the secret meeting or meetings potentially jeopardized the committee's submission of solicitor finalists to the full City Council.
"My concern lies with the view that such a submission would be flawed due to non-compliance with the Open Meeting Law ab initio (from the start)," wrote McQuillan.
In an interview last Thursday, Fountain said McQuillan was wrong when he suggested to the Attorney General's office that more than one meeting was held in secret. Multiple calls to McQuillan seeking comment for this story went unreturned last week.
"There was only one meeting that I didn't post," said Fountain. "You can ask anybody on that committee. There were only three meetings."
After meeting Jan. 31 at City Hall and Feb. 6 at Broadhurst's office, the search committee convened at City Hall Feb. 26 in a closed-door executive session "for the purposes of discussing confidential resumes," according to the meeting agenda.
On Tuesday, Kannan and Ciulla said the four councilors on the search committee were split over whether to move forward with four or two finalists. Ciulla described the closed-door session as "very tense."
The names of the four finalists — D'Agostino, Faraci, Anderson and Stein — were made public after the meeting. But Anderson and Stein withdrew their applications in emails to city councilors sent March 4 and March 5, respectively.
In her email, Anderson told councilors she "recently accepted an offer of employment elsewhere." She could not be reached for comment for this story. Stein told councilors in her email that she had "given the position a lot of thought and concluded, with much difficulty, that it is not the right position for me at this time." Stein declined comment when she contacted over the phone by a reporter this week.
With two of four finalists already out of the running, Fountain again reached out to McQuillan seeking advice on how to move forward. McQuillan responded in the March 8 letter by restating the potential for a conflict of interest, since he remains employed as solicitor.
McQuillan went on to write that while it is the City Council's responsibility to determine the best course of action, "a reasonable approach would be to begin the selection process anew."
"The committee sought to present a set number of finalists to the full City Council to demonstrate the result of a comprehensive and diligent search and provide the City Council with the opportunity to make an informed selection of a candidate for this critical position," wrote McQuillan. "However the unexpected withdrawal of two applicants from the chosen final four candidates negated that goal. The committee was unable to either accomplish its intended purpose or complete its defined duty."
Four days later, the council went against McQuillan's advice and voted to move forward with interviews for D'Agostino and Faraci.
"I don't believe that (McQuillan's) response was correct," said Fountain. "Six out of nine councilors didn't agree. ... That's got to say something."

Although Marlborough avoided the flooding that ravaged other areas of the East Coast, the damage from Hurricane Sandy has left crews hard at work through the night dealing with the aftermath.
"We had some trees down; nothing compared to last year but we did have some big trees come down," said Fire Chief James Fortin who said that at noon on Tuesday only seven secondary streets were considered blocked.
The city made it through Hurricane Sandy with no reported injuries, he said. However, .
"There was no rebuilding until this morning," said Chief Fortin. "After dark, it just slows everything down."
He explained the ongoing winds into the night kept crews from rebuilding. Even after 8 a.m., there were still trees coming down and additional power outages, said Chief Fortin.
The city worked closely with National Grid and forestry crews, he said.
"They are clearing debri and making the roads safe and getting to the problems and restoring when they can," said Charlotte McCormack, Spokesperson for National Grid, of the crews the company has in Marlborough.
City buildings, including the schools, escaped any damage, said Chief Fortin. A few trees did fall into homes and the damage to those houses is not yet known.
Officials have been meeting to evaluate the damge from Hurricane Sandy before making a call late this afternoon or early tonight on whether trick or treating will take place tomorrow.

It's all playoff action now:
-P- Gerrit Cole got unmercifully hammered and a big comeback effort fell short as Indianapolis lost again to Charlotte in game two of their opening playoff series. Cole lasted two batters into the third inning and allowed eight runs, all earned, on nine hits. The hits included three doubles and a HR. Bryan Morris wasn't much better, allowing two inherited runners to score and then giving up three of his own in one inning. Evan Meek gave up another two in one inning. Trailing 9-0 in the 3rd, though, the Indians came back, pulling to within 11-8 in the 5th. By the 8th it was 14-8. Indy scored five in the bottom half of the 8th, the last three on a HR by Yamaico Navarro, but they couldn't get another runner on base and lost, 14-13. Chase d'Arnaud went 3-5 with a walk, a double, a HR, three runs scored and five RBIs. Navarro had a double and a single in five ABs in addition to the HR. Ramon Cabrera and Hector Luna each had two hits. Starling Marte went 1-4 with a walk and a hit batsman, and scored three times. The Indians will have to win on Friday to avoid elimination.
-P- The DSL Pirates1 won the fifth and decisive game of their title series, 4-3, to take the crown from the Angels. Pablo Reyes broke a 3-3 tie with a two-out, RBI single in the top of the 8th to provide the winning margin. Reyes, a shortstop who turned 19 on Wednesday, batted .393 in the playoffs. Daniel Arribas had two RBIs on a double and a groundout. Omar Basulto got the win after taking over with one out in the 4th and allowing just one run on three and two-thirds, while striking out four.

In 2014, the Foundation is supporting over 450 elementary, primary, secondary and tertiary students on Fuzzy Wuzzy Angel Scholarships. The scholarships cover students' tuition fees, educational resources and uniform, food, and boarding (where applicable). Scholarships are awarded to students for the rest of their schooling and make an enormous difference to families struggling to pay expensive school fees in PNG.
In 2014 we continue with our flagship project - the construction and opening of the Kokoda College. Already in its first stage of construction, the Kokoda College will be a state-of-the-art training facility based in remote Kou Kou village. It will offer courses in Elementary & Primary Teaching and Community Health Work. There is a lack of training facilities throughout PNG in rural areas and the Kokoda College is already becoming a beacon of hope for the region and the nation. >> Read more >>
Local primary and elementary teachers are urgently needed for schools situated in many of the Kokoda Track communities. In partnership with the PNG Education authorities, the Foundation has trained 56 elementary teachers in the past via its Certificate of Elementary Teaching, and is also supporting some members of the communities along the track to train as primary teachers via the PNG Diploma of Primary Teaching. These teachers will return to their home villages to operate the schools after they have graduated from the course. >> Read more about our teachers >>
The Foundation also supports elementary teachers along the Track via its Track Teacher Salary Incentives program. This initiative was created in 2011 to ensure that the elementary schools along the Kokoda Track remain open. In 2014, the Foundation is supporting the salaries of 25 qualified elementary teachers along the Kokoda Track. Without our support, the schools would close. >> Discover more about the teachers we support along the Track >>
In 2014, we continue to support 43 elementary, primary and secondary schools with vital educational resources and infrastructure support. Each of our schools are supported with a range of resources including textbooks and library books, stationeries, teacher resources, furniture, and general maintenance for classrooms.
>> Find out more about this initiative >>
This year, the Foundation is also continuing its Archer Leadership Scholars program. Funded by the Fred P. Archer Charitable Trust, this exciting scholarship is the first of its kind in PNG. It is awarded annually to six exceptional tertiary students from across PNG who have demonstrated exceptional academic abilities, promising leadership skills and a desire to go on to future leadership roles in PNG. >> Read more about the scholars here >>
Every year, the Foundation awards the Bisset Medal to the top student graduating from its Fuzzy Wuzzy Angel Scholarship Program. Named after Stan & Butch Bisset, Bisset Medal winners are supported with their university tuition and boarding fees, food and living allowances, a school resource allowance, mentoring, and an exchange program to Australia. The Foundation has awarded 5 Bisset Medals in the past and will award its sixth in 2014. >> Read more here >>
This year, the Foundation is also continuing to support Australian volunteers to be placed in schools along the Kokoda Track, providing a rich exchange for both the teachers and the students. The Foundation identifies and supports Australian training and professional development courses for the local elementary teachers. >> Read more here >>

American Airlines
Scheduled to leave at 3:10pm for Washington, D.C., American Eagle Flight 3823 instead spent four extra hours in New York, waiting for a new crew of flight attendants, according to NBC New York.
American Eagle Airlines is an affiliate of American Airlines.
In a statement sent to Business Insider, American Airlines wrote:
"American Eagle flight 3823 from New York JFK to Washington Reagan was delayed on Wednesday afternoon because of a disagreement between two flight attendants prior to departure. The aircraft returned to the gate to switch flight attendant crews, and the flight departed a short while later. We're looking into the matter and apologize to our customers for the inconvenience."
The American Eagle careers page calls for potential flight attendants who are "patient, caring and outgoing."

Lance Berkman surges forth in All-Star balloting. He's got over a million votes now and it looks like he's going to be the starter in the All Star game. We all know he deserves it, so I'm not going to talk about. I will point you to this interesting article about Lance, Chipper Jones and switch hitting, however. :) If that's not enough Berkman & Chipper talk, you can find a comparison of their switch hitting specific stats here .
Meanwhile, Miguel Tejada takes the lead in All-Star balloting for the NL Shortstop position. He was only about 8,000 votes behind the Marlin's Hanley Ramirez a week ago, but now he's out in front by about 24,000 votes. That's not *very* surprising considering what a big name Tejada is, but Ramirez does deserve the starting nod, based on the numbers so far.
Anyway, based on the latest numbers, stats and the schedule so far... I'd say Carlos Lee (4th in voting) has a good shot at joining the team as a reserve. (He's about 200,000 behind Ken Griffey Jr, though, so I don't think he'll be able to overtake the starting spot.) Jose Valverde could get selected to the team being a good closer and all... Hunter Pence is 8th in voting for outfielders. I don't think he'll get selected as a reserve, but I suppose it's *possible.* Looks like the Astros could have 4-5 All Stars this year. At least 3, at worst.
In other news, don't know if anyone saw this, but Wandy was a nominee for the latest NL Player of the Week award. Chipper Jones won it, but that's pretty nice to see Wandy come this far over the years. Here's the story if you want to check it out.
Adam Wainright was put on the Disabled List yesterday . That's a good thing for everyone else in the NL Central. It's only 15 days, so I guess Tony only yanked his finger around the other day and didn't break it. On the other hand, Rick Ankiel is back. :(

There is an old saying in baseball:
"No matter what you do, you will lose 1/3 of your games and win 1/3 of your games. It is what do you do with the 1/3 left that determine's your season."
Using the above adage, last year the Bucs were 3-51 in the games that decided their 2010 season. Identifying which games were part of the 54 which determined the Pirates season is hard to do. I have looked thru last season's games and was hard pressed to categorize the games. But when you have bad pitching, hitting, and defense it is hard to win games.
I think this recent 3 game series with the O's is a nice reflection of Baseball's Rule of Thirds and how the Pirates this year are different from last year.
Game 1 was a blow out with the O's scoring early and often to romp to a 8-3 win. Categorized this one as part of the 1/3 you were going to lose during the season.
Game 2 was a Pirate romp. The Bucs scored early, added to the lead, and won 9-3. I put this in the category of 1/3 you were going to win.
Today's game was definitely in the category of a game that determine's your season. The Pirates take a small early lead, lose the lead, take it back, and then bring in the bullpen to shut the door. This is the type of game the Pirates did not often win in the past 18 years. Once they got behind, they would lose. If they were ahead, the bull pen would cough up the lead
Recall the Met game where the Bucs took a 7-0 lead early. This was a win served up for the taking, but the Bucs let it slip away. The Mets came back, grabbed the lead, and the Bucs failed to rally. This is another game that helps decide your season. In this case the Bucs lost it.
The Bucs present .500 record is a reflection of how they are finding ways to win their share of the 54 games that will decide their season. Right now they are winning mostly due to strong SP and a solid BP with a "lights out" closer. The defense is doing it's part but the hitting is weak. They are winning few games with their bats. I think the hitting will come, but they aren't doing it yet.
I also give credit to Hurdle and his staff. I think Hurdle is helping the players win games that under Russel they would lose. I don't think it is because of his in-game moves (yea that bunting thing!). Hurdle is manipulating his lineups better. He is giving guys better chances to succeed. It the Bucs finish at .500, they will have improved by 24 games!
Obviously the Pirates need to get much better, but the signs are there. And they are much more interesting to follow!

When Mormons Were Socialists: Why the Mormon Church's Founders Would be Very Disappointed in Mitt Romney

"You are cursed because of your riches!"
It was a bummer message that nobody wanted to hear. Samuel the Lamanite stood alone atop the great wall of the city of Zarahemla to warn the inhabitants of their pending destruction.
Now you have probably never heard of this Samuel, nor the capital city that was once the center of the Nephite nation. But Mitt Romney certainly has. In 6 BC, as the story goes, somewhere on the American continent, the inhabitants of this mythic city had grown decadent. There were extreme class divisions. Politicians were corrupt. The government disregarded the sick and poor.
Sound familiar?
God had called Samuel to essentially Occupy Zarahemla, to stand up and speak out against corporate greed and wealth accumulation. For his trouble, he was promptly thrown out the front gates. Undeterred, he bravely scaled the city's exterior wall, evading a barrage of arrows and stones to stand defiant. He offered Zarahemla a choice: repent or be destroyed by God. Like any of us who have ever witnessed the ranting of a doomsday prophet, the Nephites couldn't be bothered. Four hundred years later, Samuel's prophecy would sorely come to pass. After decades of perpetual wars and extreme environmental upheavals, the inhabitants of Zarahemla were wiped completely off the continent and out of history.
They had been warned.
The rise and fall of the Nephite nation is a cautionary tale included in the Book of Mormon. The book purports to be the history of ancient American people, written by prophets who foresaw the present day and knew that calamity was coming. Joseph Smith reportedly translated the record by "the gift and power of God." The prophetic message of the scripture is sharp; if Americans are obedient to God, we will be blessed with riches. If Americans set our hearts on riches and ignore the poor, we will be destroyed.
It's an ontological dilemma facing every millionaire Mormon.
One hundred and eighty-two years after its founding, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is certainly prospering. The Church has diversified into commercial enterprises, owning television and radio stations, universities, farms, banks and, most recently, retail. Last month, the Church opened City Creek Mall, a stunning billion-dollar downtown renovation in Salt Lake City featuring the Utah debut of Tiffany Jewelry, Michael Kors and Porches Design. This ambitious temple of high-end commerce sits adjacent to the iconic LDS Temple where sacred rituals are performed daily by the Mormon faithful.
Mitt Romney and City Creek represent the culmination of a great transformation within Mormonism. As an outcast faith, early Mormons experimented with communal living and alternative marriages. This original brand of Mormonism was typified by their rugged frontier prophet and polygamist outsider Brigham Young. In 1848, Young famously declared, "There shall be no private ownership of the streams that come out of the canyons, nor the timber that grows on the hills. These belong to the people: all the people."
Young's egalitarian separatism has long been superseded. The living embodiment of the 21st century saint is now the slick, painfully monogamous, politically malleable super-capitalist Romney who shares "humorous" tales of layoffs and factory closures.
Romney perfected the art of "creative destruction" through leveraged buyouts and junk bond financing that enriched his investors at Bain Capital while at times devastating common workers. His critics from the 99 percent, he argues, are driven by envy.
Ironically, while Romney would prefer to discuss wealth inequality in "quiet rooms," the topic consumed both Joseph Smith and Brigham Young's sermons and writings. For a short time in the Book of Mormon, the Nephites abandoned their love of riches and established "Zion" — a classless utopia that "had all things common among them; therefore there were not rich and poor, but they were all made free."

"For an organisations [sic] that struggles to get any local press coverage, we have suddenly been approached by just about every national newspaper," he added.
1413: Prime Minister Tony Blair postpones a vist to a school in east London and a photo call with visiting Prime Minister John Howard of Australia, a spokesman says.
Can anyone tell me if he pretended to have a real reason to be here this time around, other than watch cricket?
He was obviously confused by the lack of garbage cans, and waiting for the train was just some disinformation to throw off the cops.
That's it! He does have that look about him of "where in hell do I put this Mars Bar wrapper?"
Also, this explanation applies equally well to that Brazilian guy who got shot and the Australian Prime Minister.

I'm wondering if those in 'the know' (better than I) can shed some conversation on our future, in terms of starting pitching.
Obviously Harden and Haren are definitely in the long term mix.
Zito is obviously a question mark (I personally hope he stays, as even if he is 'demoted' to a #2 or #3 pitcher on the staff, he will be one of the best #2 or #3 pitchers in the league).
Blanton is a question mark to me. If he can mature his location, and continue to keep hitters off balance, i think he can be a great #4 or #5 for years to come.
Loiza is/cannot be in any future plans anymore unless something dramatic happens. He threw nothing over 83mph in his bullpen session the other day, and I don't see that improving much.
So WHO'S NEXT? Windsor, as noted below, is turning into a great prospect. PLEASE TELL ME ABOUT HIM. MPH? PITCHES? AGE? CEILING?
"Righty Jason Windsor, Oakland's third-round pick in the 2004 First-Year Player Draft, improved to 3-0 with a 2.08 ERA at Triple-A Sacramento with six shutout innings Monday night. Windsor started the season at Double-A Midland and went 4-1 with a 2.97 ERA before being promoted. Overall, he has 51 strikeouts and 13 walks in 50 2/3 innings this season."
-courtesy of Urban and A's site.
Who else is possible for the '07 and '08 rotation?
Personally i really like Halsey. He has some nutz, attacks hitters, and is only going to get better.

Cheap rent: A thing of the past
Surfed Craigslist for an apartment lately? Then you don't need us to tell you that rent in San Francisco is too damn high. But what are the broader implications of this becoming a city where median asking rent is above $3,000?
Here's an example. Today, District 11 Sup. John Avalos shared a story with the Guardian about his arrival to San Francisco in 1989. He had $1,000 to his name, enough to cover rent and a security deposit. He landed a job that paid just $8 an hour, but that was no big deal, since he split the rent for his $675-per-month, two-bedroom apartment in the Haight with a friend.
Translate those 1989 figures to 2013 dollars, and the dramatic rent increases the city has experienced really come into focus. With inflation factored in, that same two-bedroom apartment would cost $1,253 per month today. Noticed any Craigslist ads for two-bedroom apartments in the Haight going for $1,253 lately? (If so, be careful. It's probably a scam.) Rents for such units hover closer to $4,000 these days.
Avalos joined his colleagues on the Board of Supervisors in highlighting issues of affordability at Tuesday's meeting. "San Francisco needs to do something specifically to measure how people, particularly those on the bottom rung, are getting by in San Francisco," he commented just prior to the vote for board presidency.
District 9 Sup. David Campos echoed this sentiment. "I want a city that works, but I want a city that works for everyone," Campos said. "We have to work collectively to make sure that happens ... We have great wealth in the city, but many people are being pushed out."
Twitter tax break, and saving all those jobs and revenues for SF, has been a defining moment for the upgrading of that depressing, crime-ridden neighborhood.
New condos everywhere yay!!
Progressives hate that, of course.
SF hasn't build enough rentals units, flats, homes or any kind of housing. So many people want to live in the city, so many looking and wanting to buy. Living in the bay area has become really pricey.
they want cheaper housing but they oppose every new development of housing.
Has Scott Weiner found the answer?
-Hong Kong architect turns shoebox apartment into 24 rooms -
spacious flats with views, storage space & updated appliances all at a rent-controlled price of around $1000 per month. These people are living in la-la land. No matter how many times you explain basic market principles to them they just don't get it. They think they're living in a 7x7 mile space where those rules have been suspended. Progressives have caused mass delusion in their followers.
Market principles like federally subsidized mortgages and tax deductions?
Under market principles the nationalized mortgage market would shrink to the price levels of our grandparents and teachers and bus drivers could afford to buy in san francisco again.
Mortgage Interest Deduction: Not A Tax Break For The Middle Class
"The possibility that this deduction might go away has prompted the sort of dire warnings that might be reserved for news that the American flag will lose its stars and stripes: The housing market, finally recovering from a long decline, will plunge anew as values fall."
Because those are the most expensive housing markets. If your argument is that without the deduction prices would fall and more people would be able to afford homes then make it - of course that argument basically calls for screwing over every current homeowner in the city who still has a mortgage on their home.
Meaning "basic free market principles" don't apply to the Lucretia troll.
Tacty queen.
mortgage interest, and Toronto and London house prices are at record highs.
Buying real estate is still the way to get rich. Most UK millionaires made it thru property.
The Canadian housing bubble is bursting.
Some here think you need to "explain basic market principles" to renters, who are too dumb to understand the most basic economics.
I would argue that those who were able to forgo home purchases and avoid the (ongoing) foreclosure crisis are not the ones who need to learn basic economics.
Even the deadbeat homeowners you whine about probably lived mortgage-free for many months before they got kicked out, and so did better than you in your rent-controlled squalid hovel in the Mission.
Unpleasant troll.
Half of them anyway...
-Half of US Mortgages Are Effectively Underwater-
Ha ha ha ha this one.
My fav...from 65 million down to 20 million well done.
"AND THE RUMORS FLY LOWER Well, we did say "rumormongering" when we reported Trulia's announcement that 2845 Broadway had finally sold to tech celeb David Sachs for $34 million. Today's rumors, again per Trulia, are that according to tax records, the famed manse actually sold for $20 million. Definitely not a win for seller Peter Sperling then, estimated to have spent at least $52 million on the property...Mr. Sperling's people did some work on the house, but stopped for some reason and put it on the market for a staggering $65,000,000. "
"Even the deadbeat homeowners you whine about..."
Actually thinking more about the deadbeat banks right now.

If you don't add more value in 2013 over 2012, why should you be laid more?
And if someone else will do your job for less, why should you be paid at all?

savory stuffing strata
I have a lot I could say about the origins of this recipe and the importance of stuffing, but I'm going to cut to the chase first. For me, this is The Best Stuffing Ever. The only recipe I'll need from now on. The One.
This stuffing strata comes out so fragrant, moist, and flavorful, you would never know it hasn't been cooked inside the turkey. But the fact that it hasn't set up camp in a turkey means that you can shorten your turkey cooking time, and serve the stuffing to vegetarians without that out-of-place taste of vegetable broth that usually flavors vegetarian stuffing. Also, it's a total snap to whip up; you can assemble it the day before and just pop it into your already-350-degree oven on the big day. It features all the traditional flavors of a really homey stuffing (sage, thyme, celery, and of course the bread) bound together by a magical mixture of egg, milk, wine, mustard, and gruyere cheese. The strata gets moistness and richness from the egg mixture, but doesn't turn out soggy or taste of breakfast; essentially, it tastes like everything stuffing should be, but more…better!
kitchen firsts: poached egg sandwiches with spinach, tomato and cheese
The kitchen first this time is not a new ingredient, but instead the conquering of a kitchen technique: the poached egg, no cheatsies! Up until now, whenever I was called on to create a poached egg I would simply reach for my handy dandy egg-poaching device, let the eggs cook in their little metal cups, and then slide them out, looking all freakishly disc-shaped. I am not a fan of runny yolks, so poached eggs are not a huge deal for me and I was happy enough with this arrangement as it allowed me to quickly and easily make poached eggs for Stephen. But, the more I cook and blog, the more I realize how obsessed food people are with poached eggs, so it kind of bothered me that I wasn't able to create a normal-looking, old fashioned poached egg in a water bath. Enter my new favorite cookbook, America's Test Kitchen's Cooking For Two: 2010, and I finally found a poached egg sandwich recipe that I could master, and even enjoy. (more…)
kitchen firsts: fresh pea and pea shoot pasta carbonara
I realized this year that somehow I have never managed to shell fresh peas before. Favas, yes, but never regular shelling peas! I've been wanting to get some for quite awhile, but I had trouble finding them when pea season supposedly started, so all my bookmarking of yummy pea recipes was going unused. Perhaps our unseasonable rain in May and June slowed the peas down and kept them out of the markets when I was expecting to find them, but now that it's almost August and we're moving on to zucchini, tomatoes, and corn galore, I had pretty much forgotten about the elusive shelling pea!
That is, until I spotted some shelling peas at the market earlier this week. And it just so happened that I was at the market next to the library, so I popped in to see if any of my requested cookbooks had come in, and luckily my long-awaited copy of Sunday Suppers at Lucques had finally arrived. I couldn't wait to peek inside, so I flipped through the glossy pages and what was the first recipe that caught my eye? A pasta carbonara using freshly shelled peas AND pea shoots! Have I mentioned that I love pea shoots? With the discovery of the shelling peas and then the discovery of the ideal recipe to make use of them happening within ten minutes of each other, I could pretty much only conclude that making this pasta was my destiny.
kitchen firsts: homemade mayonnaise + bacon deviled eggs
This week I decided to make mayonnaise from scratch for the first time. I'd been meaning to try it for quite awhile, but this week I didn't have anything else in mind for a kitchen first, and the timing seemed appropriate since I am hoping to audition a few new summery recipes this week that need a little bit of mayonnaise each (potato salad, anyone?). People are always raving about how much better homemade mayonnaise is, and I decided to see for myself.
Oh, and did I mention these bacon deviled eggs? We decided to try them because we had lots of eggs, wanted a snack, and I wanted to do something right away with my fresh mayonnaise, but I realized I've never actually made deviled eggs before so I guess I'm getting a double kitchen first out of the deal. Can anyone say no to a deviled egg? This recipe can be made with or without the bacon and is fairly standard, so if you're look for a meat-free version this can certainly be it. Although really, you can't ask for a better combination than bacon and eggs (scroll to the bottom if you want to skip to the eggs!).

I am a fan of FPS and zombie games, and this one, got my attention. It has an awesome gameplay experience and makes you feel great when you play it.
The most important part is that you have multiplayer/co-op, and if you want to have some fun, get your friends, and shoot the dead guys. I feel bad that I missed the game when it was free, but if you are a fan of epic stuff, what are you waiting for?
This is awesome!Yoman282 | July 29, 2014 | See all Yoman282's reviews »
One of the best zombie apocalypse games I have ever seen, it even has workshop integrated so it's modding ability makes a lot of players still into this game. I consider myself lucky because I got it when it was free actually but I would have bought it for the full price no doubt. I recommend this masterpiece for zombie lovers out there!
The Sequelluxcaeruleus | July 26, 2014 | See all luxcaeruleus's reviews »
Left 4 Dead 2 is the sequel to the popular zombie FPS game Left 4 Dead. It's main core remains true to it's roots that it's gameplay is practically the same but not to the point that it's more of an expansion than a whole different game.. The sequel adds different features to the game which really improved it like melee weapons and different infecteds.
*Story: Left 4 Dead 2 let's you play 1 of 4 new survivors of the apocalypse. They have to same objectives as the first group had, be saved. Everything is pretty much the same, as in the story. It's still linear and still an objective type of game. But what can you expect from an FPS right?
*Gameplay: The gameplay and feel too is basically the same. It's still an FPS zombie game. What they added are tons of different weapon aside from the usual ones. I'd say one of the things that they added that made the game enjoyable are the melee weapons. From a frying pan to a chainsaw, you could hack and slash your way through the zombie apocalypse. They also added the bile bomb: A bottle of bile from the boomer that when you throw at zombies, other zombies attack those that got hit by the splash. They also added 2 types of ammos, namely incendiary and explosive ammo. There's also a defibrillator that could revive your fallen team mates.
*Graphics: The graphics too didn't improve that much. It still feels a bit like left 4 dead but it's not that bad.
*Sound: The background is just incredible. You really feel that you're playing a true FPS zombie game.
*Zombies: Aside from your usual special infecteds from Left 4 Dead, they added 3 new infecteds: The Charger, Jockey and spitter. The charger, as the name says, charges at players and drags them until he stops. He then grabs them and bashes them down. It's really hard to be caught by one since it's fast when it's charging. The jockey is a small infected that have small feet and arms. They usually go to players and jump at their heads, if you get caught, they can drive you to dangerous places. So you better kill it before it gets hold of you. The spitter is your infected that doesn't brushes it's teeth. It spits acid where you're standing at and deals damage while you're standing at it.
Overall, Left 4 Dead 2 is a great game. There are additional maps that continues the story. There's even a campaign where the cast of the first game meets the cast of this game. I won't get into details as it would contain spoilers. Do I recommend for you to play this game? Definitely. It's a masterpiece in it's own right. If you loved the first game, you'd love this game too.
The real apocalypse.hateah | July 25, 2014 | See all hateah's reviews »
That's one of the best zombie co-op games iv ever played. There is a lot of maps, and few different modes which you'll see in this review. The game has some annoying zombies like "The charge" which i mostly hate,because he charges at you and theres nothing to do,but dodge it if you are carefull enough. There are few mods as i stated above, one of them is Versus - 2 teams of 4 players each turns into infected and survivors. I remember one of the maps at Versus where it respawns you in a house near the forest and the infected are coming from everywhere, doors,window and you don't have much space to run nor to hide, you can only shoot them and defend yourself against all the zombies that are running around.You will feel big pressure on you. Before it starts, the lobby leader chooses which map to be played or campaign. Realism Versus - That is the hardest mode, it is like versus, but there arent any items for the survivors and "The witch" can kill you in one hit. Scavenge - Here its a competitive mode where survivors have to find up to 22 gas cans and bring to fuel up a generator or a car. The graphics are very cool, the good thing is that when you "die" or a zombie takes you down a teammate can revive you while you are covering his back and shooting at zombies.

I like this game. I have not play very much of it, but overall, it is one of the better zombie games. You play as one of team and kill zombies. Generic zombie game. But the maps are challenging and fun the play. The weapons are amazing and very cool. The graphics are spectacular and the gameplay is generally very fun. '
My favorite part of this game is that you can play coop. You can play with friends, choose the next map. Also, you can follow a storyline and play by yourself and the computer.
One thing I don't like is that it doesn't really give much of a tutorial. I had to figure things out by myself.
But either way, if you love zombies, you will love this game!
