Silver Spikes Necklace
lauren wolf
Of A
Can we promise that this necklace, with its tough-looking silver spikes, would keep you safe on a Wild-style wilderness trek? No, we can't. But we can swear that its oxidized finish looks especially fierce with black—and that its slim, oh-so-simple silk cord pops against absolutely anything you pair it with.
What to know: Handmade in Oakland, California; oxidized sterling silver spikes and closure with a coral silk cord; middle spike measures 1 ½ inches long, and outside spikes measure 1 ¼ inches long; cord measures 20 inches long.
Meet The Designer
lauren wolf
Lauren Wolf has always had a decisive personality. "My mom says that when I was little she'd never buy me clothes or anything because I was always so opinionated," says the 32-year-old Oakland-based designer. So when a friend told her about an artist community in San Miguel, Mexico, that offered silversmithing classes, Lauren didn't think twice about abandoning a career in advertising to head south of the border in 2002. "I had studied journalism and anthropology in school," she says. "But as soon as I heard about learning jewelry-making in Mexico, it wasn't even a question: I knew that's what I wanted to do." It's that same uncompromising self-assuredness that makes Lauren's designs for her eponymous label, which she launched two years after taking the jewelry plunge, so badass: spikey silver stingray necklaces, gold bear-claw pendants, studs made with precious black pearls or unpolished ruby. Some of her boldness also comes from years spent honing her craft—after an intense six months in Mexico, she moved to New York City to further her studies at the Fashion Institute of Technology and did eight years in the city before moving to Oakland, where she now also owns a boutique. Lately, Lauren's expanded her business to include custom work, which means she has had to learn to curb her more stubborn tendencies. "It's kind of daunting to create outside your normal box," she says. But the intrepid designer who mixes diamonds with anaconda bones has always relished a challenge. "It always ends up much better than you think." —raquel laneri laurenwolfjewelry.com

Behind The Scenes
Lauren Wolf's Super-Talented Artist Friends
The space! Lauren Wolf's Oakland boutique Esqueleto, which means skeleton in Spanish, sells jewelry—the work of a dozen designers, including herself, is up for grabs. But it also doubles as an art gallery. The ultra-rad shop, with its white walls, rams' skulls, and Southwestern rugs, showcases a different on-the-verge artist every two months. Here, Lauren shares some of Esqueleto's illustrious alumni, including, adorably, her illustrator boyfriend. —raquel laneri Afton Love"Afton is a native Oakland person, and I met her through one of our jewelry clients. She's just really starting on her career, and she's excellent. She does drawings with graphite on tracing paper and then dips them in beeswax, so they have this really ethereal sort-of look, which is awesome. And she has these custom redwood frames build for her work. They're really stunning pieces." Michele Quan"Right now we have Michele Quan's work up. She's a Brooklyn-based ceramicist. One of my friends had told me about her, and then Michele and I both happened to be at the same trade show in New York. A lot of her ceramics are skulls—bird skulls and that type of thing—which fit with our shop name. So it really made sense. And it's been really well-received so far." Patrick Dunaway"The first person we featured was my boyfriend. The gallery idea was originally something that we had together. He does pen-and-ink drawings, all original. We have known each other since first grade—we did not date the whole time, though! We were always friends and in touch, but we didn't really end up reconnecting until he moved to New York when I lived there. When that happened, we decided to give it a shot, and now we're here in Oakland. So, we obviously featured him first. And he's come and gone with some shows since then."

Lauren Wolf Takes Us On a Tour of Oakland's Coolest Neighborhood
In 2010, Lauren Wolf and her boyfriend moved from New York City to Oakland, California. And though the designer behind the gritty-but-elegant jewelry line loved her old neighborhood in Brooklyn, she immediately fell for Temescal—so hard that she decided to open a shop, Esqueleto, there. "It's sort of hidden," she says, "but it's a real community." Here, six of her favorite local haunts. —raquel laneri Crimson Horticulture Rarities"Our store's in a unique space: It's an alley of old horse stables that have been converted into commercial retail spaces. This horticulture store is just a stone's throw away from us, and they do a lot of our plants." (crimsonhort.com) Ali Golden"Ali Golden is an Oakland-based ready-to-wear designer, and she basically hand-makes all her clothing in her store here. She does really contemporary basics, and they're awesome. She just started a handbag collection, so I bought a bag—black and white striped canvas with brown leather handles. She's also making a black silk top for me now." (aligolden.com) Pizzaiolo"Esqueleto's alleyway connect back to this place called Pizzaiolo. It has been in the neighborhood for about eight years. It's all local food. The chef who owns and runs the place used to work at Chez Panisse, so it's really high-quality food and a really interesting menu. Get the pizza, obviously." (pizzaiolooakland.com) Mind's Eye Vintage"The owners are great girls. They stock the shop based on themes—last month was baseball, so they had a bunch of vintage Oakland A's pieces. Now they have a ton of vintage bathing suits." (mindseyevintage.com) Doña Thomas"This is a sort of upscale Mexican restaurant, and the food is very traditional—I should know, I lived in Mexico! When you walk in you feel like you're in old-world Mexico: high ceilings, bright colors, tables covered in that plastic floral print. We like to go there for margaritas." (donatomas.com) Pacific Ring"I love the boxing gym. They offer Muay Thai boxing, an all-over strength conditioning boxing, and it's really intense. Pacific Rim has been around for a really long time. Before work, I either do boxing here, or I go for a hike in the Oakland Hills, which is just 10 minutes from our house." (pacificringsports.com) Trust us, Lauren's new edition is a must-have!Read More »

A future with high deductibles for everyone
The RAND Health Insurance Experiment demonstrated that health care use was reduced by 30 percent in patients with cost sharing as compared to first dollar coverage, supposedly without resulting in harm (though low-income people were harmed). But that study was limited to healthy workers and their young healthy families during a few healthy years of their lives. It does not apply to the relatively unhealthy 20 percent of people who use 80 percent of our health care dollars – care that is not influenced by deductibles. Reducing spending by 30 percent on healthy people who use very little care – perhaps an office visit or two – is not going to reduce our national health expenditures significantly.
Many other nations have first dollar coverage with no deductibles, yet spend far less than we do, and with no evidence of significant overuse of medical services. There are far more effective and much more patient-friendly methods of controlling spending than the use of deductibles and other cost sharing, as these nations have demonstrated.
The Affordable Care Act is not providing us the framework that would ensure affordable care for everyone. Trying to modify the Act to make it work better won't help because the financing infrastructure is so fundamentally flawed that legislative tweaking cannot repair it. Though getting rid of deductibles would be an improvement, it wouldn't reduce our high costs, but would merely shift them, making insurance premiums even less affordable.
URGENT: Sign letter of protest over IOM's skimpy health plan prescription
A recent Quote of the Day message expressed alarm at the fact that the Institute of Medicine is recommending a grossly inadequate, skimpy, spartan standard for the package of benefits to be offered by health plans in the state insurance exchanges being established under the Affordable Care Act….
Following is a letter asking the Obama administration to reject this recommendation. Though only selected names will be used in publicizing this letter, we encourage everyone who concurs with the views expressed to sign it, using this link
Do we have to accept $15, 000 premiums and higher deductibles?
Yesterday's (quoted) message was on framing, demonstrating how the right has taken control of our cognitive processes by superimposing the moral worldview of individual responsibility, while bypassing logic. As proof, much of the bashing of single payer advocates is coming from the left. Even though liberals understand fully the logic of single payer, they are absorbed in the process of making the Affordable Care Act work. We've shown that it cannot ever accomplish the goals of universal coverage and affordability, yet they insist that this right-wing consumer/market approach will get us there through incremental steps, though incrementalism hasn't achieved our ultimate goals in over a half century of trying.
Today I received an email message that went out to another list, sent by one of the most intelligent, dedicated, progressive individuals in the health care reform movement. The title of the message was, "Don McCanne is wrong Re: [hc4ac] US Last In Mortality Amenable to Health Care." She wrote, "The vote on the ACA has occurred; opposing it on a daily basis does not get us closer to universal coverage or price controls or to single payer; nor does intoning single payer on a daily basis."
So abandoning single payer and tweaking a model designed by the conservative Heritage Foundation will get us there? We certainly screwed up the framing on this one!
I find it refreshing to find political activists, particularly those who are interested in making life better for people in demonstrably proven ways (i.e. most left of center) admit mistakes. The sooner that tactics and programs are recognized to be deficient, the sooner better programs and tactics can be devised to win

Amerlux LEDs Light Refrigerated Food Cases
Retail refrigerated displays are the targeted application for Amerlux's new SlimBar LED.
The horizontal fixture illuminates packaging with consistent light levels while reducing energy consumption by nearly 50 percent at supermarkets and other grocery retailers, says Amerlux.
At 23.3 millimeters (less than an inch) in width, the SlimBar is constructed with an anodized aluminum housing that resists damage and displacement during installation and restocking of merchandise. High output .5-watt LEDs yield maximum efficiency and consistent color, using 6.5 watts per foot. Additional LEDs can be specified per foot for greater lumen output.
SlimBar is available in 2800K, 3500K and 4100K correlated color temperatures. A frosted polycarbonate lens is included for 120-degree light distribution. Also available is a polycarbonate lens that offers 30-, 45- and 120-degree beam spreads, providing the precise amount of light needed for illuminating various displays.
Damp location-listed, the SlimBar LED is hard-wired and operates on low voltage 24v systems with a remote driver. Additional drivers are offered, including a NEMA enclosure. The unit attaches with flat, metal and magnetic clips for fixed mounting, as well as a Roto Clip for adjustable mounting. The low profile fixture is available in four lengths: 46 inches for a four-foot case; 66 inches for a six-foot case; 92 inches (two 46″ units) for an 8-foot case; and 132 inches (two 66″ units) for a 12-foot case.

San Francisco Sheriff Ross Mirkarimi's trial on domestic violence charges is expected to get under way the week of March 5, 2012. Mirkarimi, 50, pleaded not guilty to domestic violence battery, child endangerment and dissuading a witness charges — all misdemeanors — in connection with a New Year's Eve incident in which he allegedly bruised the arm of his wife, Eliana Lopez, during an argument. Lopez says her husband didn't commit domestic violence against her, but prosecutors are hoping to use a video recorded by a neighbor that shows Lopiez pointing to a bruise.

After pulling over on I-79, police say Shanklin shot himself. Police also detained a passenger in the vehicle. The news release states that police found drug items in the driver's possession. Police say they are not sure why Shanklin shot himself.

First time WDW visit with Grandkids-Need Help
Hello Gentlepersons,
I would appreciate any tips and info regarding booking a resort hotel. Looking at the Polynesian, Floridian and Cont hotel group. My wife is leaning toward the Poly, but, not sure if this is a good choice. We will be visiting first and second week of 9-13. Also, is there any benefit in purchasing the annual pass (discounts and such). We had annual passes before (Disneyland, yes we are in CA). I would appreciate any info offered. Thanks

Personally I think the Poly is a fantastic choice -- nice pools and beach for relaxing, a great atmosphere, beautiful gardens, good food, and the IMO the best transportation options since you can catch a boat or monorail to the MK and walk to the TTC to catch the direct monorail to Epcot.
Having said that, we've stayed at the GF several times and loved it there. Skipped it on our last trip because there is construction going on right now and I wanted a more peaceful/relaxing atmosphere and a resort not undergoing a major addition/renovation. If it's done by the time you are there, or you think the construction won't bother you, I'd consider the GF as well. It's a great resort.
As for the CR, you can walk to the MK, but have to take 2 monorails to get to Epcot. Another good option.
They all have great dining choices (especially since you can hop from one to another easily), are close to the MK, and are nice resorts. However, their themes and room decor very tremendously -- I suggest you look at the photos of the rooms and the resorts online since one may appeal to you more than the others -- since they are all good, I'd really suggest just picking the one that you think you'd enjoy the most. You can't really go wrong here...

We have gone with our children and grandchildren the past three years. Though the MK resorts are nice their choice has always been the Boardwalk Inn. Our grandchildren are 11,10,4,3 and 1 and they loved the pool area and Epcot. It was easy for them taking the busses to MK and Ak. They utilized the monorail also. We stay club level and it is a huge help with the kids. Their parents love being able to grab breakfast for them and having snacks to take to the park. They also gave the children juice boxes to drink.
I have to say it is so much fun going with them and we can't wait for this years trip at Thanksgiving.

We've stayed at almost all of the deluxe resorts and we prefer the Epcot resorts over the MK resorts. The AK is too far away from everything. The MK resorts are nice, but transportation can be tough. The Epcot resorts are w/ in walking distance to much more, and we love their pools.

Take a look at http://www.mousesavers.com/walt-disn...orld-vacation/
Disney will likely offer some type a deal in that time period. If you're making multiple visits than an annual pass can help. Sounds like you are a Florida resident?
The pools/slides at the Boardwalk and Yacht/Beach clubs are excellent if the kids are in to that. They can also roam a little more at those resorts.
The elegance of the Floridian might be lost on them a little, but certainly nothing wrong with any of the resorts (and certainly not the Polynesian, which also has a nice pool).

I do split stays at the MK resorts then go over to the Epcot resorts as I love being within walking distance to a park, however, you have to repack and you don't have a room fo a day, but you stated you were going for the 1 &2 week of Sept..so a split stay would be great as you would get to experience 2 resorts.
All the Mk resorts are magical.... just pick the theming you like best. Nothing beats being on the monorail for convenience and awe... its just so cool imo. Plus you can visit each resort via the monorail, as the dining options are fantastic at all of them.
Th Epcot resorts are located at the back of Epcot (you enter between France and england) and you are only a 5 min walk or boat ride to the gate.. nothing is better then being back at your resort after illuminations in 5 minutes. The pool at the BC is the best.... it has sand in it and special little beach area maybe 2 feet deep for the little ones ... I just love to hang out there...but then their is a volleyball area with a sand bottom again, in the pool and a lazy river. Also, they have movies on the beach and the Bw area is really fun at night. The Bw is great too but doesn't have the pool that the beach Club has....
You are within walking distance to DHS too or a 15 min boat ride away which is very relaxing and pretty.
Depends on the ages of the kids but the AP will give you some great discounts, but it may be better to get the park hopper with the waterpark options and enjoy the resort a few days. I know I can't do the parks everyday and want at least 2 days out of 7 just to relax and do nothing.....Disney World is huge....Just getting around to Mk and Dtd can take 30 mins and thats if you drive yourself. Its very spread out. It took us 30 min to go from the Contemporary to the Ak lodge....please keep that in mind when you pick a resort....thats why I split up staying at the MK and Epcot resorts each trip.
I would look at the cost of the Ap and then see how many days you will be there. The parks usually close early in Sept so keep that in mind when purchasing a hopper too. Also will you be on the dinning plan? If you are that will determine too if the Ap is right for you. You can purchase a Table in wonderland card that gives you 20% off dining, but if your on the dining plan it won't save you on thefood just adult drinks, but the card is $125. Sometimes just one in the party purchase an AP just to get the lodging discount, but since you are going in Sept its already discounted...
Sounds like a great trip... you should have low crowds and great weather, although the 1st week may be a little humid...Have a great time.

It will really depend on your preference for style from any of the above mentioned resorts. We LOVE the Poly and did a multi-generational trip last year. Grandma and Grandpa took 18 of us to WDW and we stayed at the Poly. There is nothing like being able to see Cinderella's Castle across the lake. The kids ranged in age from 18 to 2 and everyone was thrilled with the choice (even my kids with this being their 4th trip to the Poly).
You will have a great pool, easy access to the monorail for Magic Kingdom and Epcot and buses to Animal Kingdom and Hollywood Studios. The rooms are also in the process of being refurbished. This year we wanted to try something different (a little nervous) and we are trying the Beach Club near Epcot.
Good luck on your decision and try going to the different resort threads for more info and pictures then the WDW website.

Thank you all for the wonderful info
Dear gentlepersons,
Thanks for the info this really helps. Some of you asked for the ages of grandkids (5 and 8). As for the G-parents a very young 60's (well that is what I keep telling myself). Being that the kids are on the young side we most likely will spending more time at the MK. Although, G-pa is looking forward to Epcot for the first time. Thanks again and this site is awesome!

We too are young 60s grandparents. We took an almost 3 year old grandson and his parents 2 years ago. We stayed in a 2 room villa at the BWV. This worked out really well. We could walk to Epcot when we needed a break from each other. We sent the parents to dinner at Epcot and we rode the "boots" (as my grandson called the boats). That was one of his favorite rides. This year we are all going back to the BWVs. But we now have a 2 year old and the other grandson will be 5. We like the villas because of the extra room. You will have a great time no matter what you choose!

We are also the same age bracket, except that we don't take the kids or grandkids, and while all of the Deluxe resorts have their advantages and disadvantages, for us the Poly is the ideal location. You have the monorails (both resort and express) and boats (including the ferry) to the MK (we like taking the monorail in the morning and then take the boat back in the evening) and the short walk to the TTC to take the monorail to Epcot. My wife is an early riser and loves walking around the Poly and over to the GF early in the morning. We probably spend 80% of our park time in the MK and Epcot and it is hard to beat watching the fireworks from the Poly beach and then just walking back to your room.
The grandkids will probably love wherever you decide to stay so I would say to go with what you think will make your wife happy.

Saturday Night Live alumni Seth Meyers premiered as the new host of Late Night this Monday, after previous host Jimmy Fallon moved over to The Tonight Show. In his second episode he was joined by Kanye West, who performed a medley of some of his biggest hits along with a rather tame interview. Interview topics ranged from the Yeezus tour masks, synesthesia, humor, and a revisit of one of Ye's old SNL skits. See the interview above, and the performance, which spanned the tracks "Stronger," "Heartless," "All The Lights," "Mercy" and "Black Skinhead" below.

Hartford's 13-member superintendent search committee has chosen Ray and Associates Inc., an executive consulting firm from Cedar Rapids, Iowa, to find the city's next schools leader.
The city informed Gary Ray, the firm's president, in a letter this week that the contract is being awarded to his company after the city issued a request for proposals. We're told that the panel, which has met three times, had considered three firms behind closed doors.
A copy of Ray and Associates' proposal to the city was not immediately available. The firm specializes in superintendent searches and is heading Baltimore's efforts to find a new schools CEO.
"We appreciate your time and effort in preparing this proposal and look forward to doing business with your company," wrote William Diaz, a procurement specialist for the city. "A contract will be sent to your attention soon for your signature."
The contract to conduct a national search would be for $24,000, according to school board chairman Matthew Poland.
Hartford Superintendent Christina Kishimoto's contract expires June 30, 2014. The school board decided not to renew her contract and is looking to find a schools chief by springtime.

The anger over yesterday's debacle at the airport is still too fresh to write a post about. Let's just say that I'm still in Argentina, but now I'm an illegal immigrant!
I could have used some kindness yesterday. Instead I received blatant incompetency, inefficiency and indifference. But I'm getting over it. Each hour gets better. I was going to try and fly out this evening but I was too traumatized from yesterday's events. Having one's passport taken from them by immigration authorities can do that.
Lisa reminded me about a story many years ago when she was in China and her Visa had expired. Officials demanded that she pay a $500 fine and the next day she pleaded with authorities to let her leave the country. They lessened the fine to $160 and made her write a letter to the "Chinese people" apologizing for breaking their rules. After a week she was finally able to depart for India.
These stories are always funny in retrospect, but maddening while in the midst of it.
I'm going to spend Christmas Day alone, for only the second time in my life. Apparently there's a wine tasting downtown in the afternoon that is frequented by expats so I'll see if I can swing by and get drunk. Obviously. Hopefully the Subte is running.
Note to foreigners: If you plan on staying in Argentina for more than three months you have to pay a 300 peso fine when leaving. But the bank where they make you go to pay the fine doesn't accept credit cards and the cash machines are either all out of money or don't accept foreign debit cards. So make sure that if you have lived here for more than three months that you arrive at the airport with cash!
Another word of advice: there will be long line-ups with a lot of staff behind the counters but only one person actually working. I never understand how Argentina culture justifies paying people not to work when it has tremendous economic problems. Every place I have ever been in this country hires people to stand like poles and stare at you. They don't do anything, they just stare. And this is acceptable. So don't make the mistake, like I have many times, and think that an employee is going to work. Argentines put in long hours but spend most of those hours either on lunch, talking to colleagues, drinking mate, or standing and staring.

Google may be giving pink slips to some 200 hapless souls, but that's not stopping the company from hiring in certain places.
The search giant has about 360 job openings listed on its Web site, and a spokesman has confirmed that they are indeed open positions. Only about 30 of the US job openings are for work that appears related to sales and marketing – the kinds of jobs that were impacted by Thursday's layoffs.
The job openings provide a fascinating window into the inner workings of the vast Google empire, which has a need for everything from a software engineer in Krakow to an account manager in Cairo.
A job listing for a "Peering Coordinator" at Google's EU headquarters begins with a hint of international intrigue:
"When we're not planning and designing our next secret data centre, we focus on selecting, negotiating for and acquiring the space, power and networks to expand Google's global reach," the ad reads.

Rays, Jose Molina Nearing One-Year Deal
The Rays are close to signing catcher Jose Molina to a one-year contract with an option for 2013, Major League sources tell Jon Paul Morosi of FOXSports.com.
Molina, 36, is a 12-year veteran who spent the past four-plus seasons in the AL East with the Yankees and Blue Jays as a backup. A defense-first catcher (redundant, I know), Molina is a career .241/.286/.344 hitter, although he posted a .281/.342/.415 line in 2011 with Toronto, albeit in 191 plate appearances.
The Rays went with a catching platoon in 2011, divvying up playing time pretty evenly between Kelly Shoppach and John Jaso. Shoppach, a free agent, will presumably sign elsewhere this offseason, according to Morosi, so Molina could perhaps take his place in that time-share, barring any other moves by Tampa Bay for a catcher.
Molina is a Type B free agent, so the Blue Jays will receive a supplemental first-round pick for losing him.

Tigers Notes: Ellis, Hill, Molina, Laird
The Tigers had already locked up Brandon Inge, Jhonny Peralta, Joaquin Benoit and Victor Martinez by November 23rd of last year. Here's the latest on the team as they start the current offseason more quietly…
- The Tigers seem to believe they can find help via trades, tweets Danny Knobler of CBSSports.com. The club has given up a lot in the past but they are willing to deal anyone but their top minor league prospects.
- Tigers GM Dave Dombrowski told John Lowe of the Detroit Free Press that the Tigers didn't offer contracts to Mark Ellis, Jamey Carroll or Aaron Hill, three middle infielders who recently signed two-year deals. Should the Tigers pursue free agent middle infielders such as Clint Barmes or Kelly Johnson, they'd likely be looking at a two-year commitment given the deals we've seen so far and the number of teams with openings at second or short.
- The Tigers are considering Jose Molina, Matt Treanor, Ramon Castro and former Tiger Gerald Laird as possible backup catchers, according to Jon Paul Morosi of FOX Sports (on Twitter). All four backstops are free agents who could give Alex Avila an occasional breather while keeping Martinez's knees fresh so he can contribute on offense.

Blue Jays Exercise Jose Molina's 2011 Option
The Blue Jays exercised Jose Molina's 2011 option, according to MLB.com's Jordan Bastian. The club chose to retain the 35-year-old instead of buying him out for $200K.
Molina hit .246/.304/.377 last year with six homers after signing with the Jays in February. Alex Anthopoulos' low-risk investments in Molina and John Buck paid off this season, but the GM now has a decision to make. J.P. Arencibia appears ready to catch in the big leagues and Buck has expressed interest in returning. It seems unlikely that both Arencibia and Buck will have spots on the team's opening day roster, but Anthopoulos called Buck to tell him the club still has interest in working out a deal (Twitter link).

Anthopoulos Pleased With Free Agent Additions
When the Blue Jays targeted free agents last offseason, they wanted to complement their young pitching. Not necessarily with veteran starters, but with established catchers and proven defenders. Halfway through the 2010 season, the Blue Jays' free agent signings appear to have helped with the development of starters like Brett Cecil, Ricky Romero and Brandon Morrow. But free agent additions John Buck and Alex Gonzalez have contributed on offense, too.
Buck and Gonzalez have paired up for 30 home runs – 14 more than they combined to hit all of last season. It isn't exactly what the Blue Jays expected, but GM Alex Anthopoulos won't complain about a player who leads all MLB shortstops in home runs (17) at a bargain salary ($2.75MM).
"[Gonzalez has] been great, he's certainly been more than we could have hoped for," Anthopoulos told MLBTR Saturday. "We certainly wouldn't have expected to have this number of home runs so early."
And Anthopoulos, who spent about $11MM on major league free agents in his first offseason as the team's GM, was expecting moderate power from Buck. So far, the backstop has exceeded the team's expectations.
"I don't know that we saw the All-Star game coming," Anthopoulos conceded.
Buck has 13 home runs this season, second only to Mike Napoli among MLB catchers. But Buck didn't join the Jays to hit home runs. He wanted to work with the Blue Jays' pitchers.
"I can let them know that they can learn from each outing even if it's a terrible outing, which I think they're doing," Buck said.
The Blue Jays appealed to catcher Jose Molina for two reasons. First of all, he wanted a big league job. And like Buck, Molina wanted to guide the Jays' pitchers through the ups and downs of a major league season.
"We try to help the staff to become better and I think that's what we've been doing," Molina said. "I mean sometimes it's going to work, sometimes it doesn't, but I think the main thing is that [the pitchers] keep their focus every day."
Molina (.751 OPS, $0.8MM salary) and Buck (.813 OPS, $2MM salary) have been pleasant surprises at the plate, but Anthopoulos says he signed the pair because of what they can do behind the plate. Though Gonzalez had flashed power with the Marlins (23 homers in '04) and Reds (16 homers in '07), his defense appealed to the Blue Jays front office, too.
"In this division you can't give away outs," Anthopoulos said. "We're going to run young starters out, which was really going to be the core of this team, so having a plus glove at [shortstop] was important."
Anthopoulos signed one more major free agent in his rookie offseason. The Blue Jays front office determined that Kevin Gregg's second half slow-downs (3.84 first half ERA, 4.41 second half ERA) could have been related to knee issues that no longer appeared serious. They signed Gregg for $2.75MM and he has generally been effective, saving 20 games and posting a 3.71 ERA with 9.8 K.9 and 4.8 BB/9.
Gregg is a trade candidate, since the 44-44 Blue Jays trail the Yankees, Rays and Red Sox. Lots of Blue Jays, including Anthopoulos' recent additions, could appeal to other clubs, but Gregg is one player who isn't thinking about the rumors.
"I could care less," Gregg said. "I like it here, I like all the guys, I like everything that we've got going here. I wish our record was a little bit better, but I still think we've got the potential to win a lot of games."

In his column today for the Boston Globe, Nick Cafardo explores the effect of Arizona's controversial immigration law on baseball. He also shares a few notes from around the league:
- The Blue Jays' huge collection of scouts should have them well-prepared to deal at this year's trade deadline. Cafardo names a slew of players who the Jays could try to move if they're out of playoff contention, noting that the club will "likely listen to anything." The list includes Vernon Wells, Lyle Overbay, Alex Gonzalez, Scott Downs, Jose Bautista, John Buck and Jose Molina.
- Molina has thrown out eight of 11 basestealers so far this year, a statistic that could intrigue the Red Sox. However, Cafardo says the Sox "will never deal for a catcher who is all defense, no offense."
- Cafardo suggests that Adam Dunn would be a good fit at DH for the Red Sox in the post-David Ortiz era.
- Jarrod Washburn's time off this spring has given him a few extra weeks to recover from offseason knee surgery, though now teams will have to assess how long it will take Washburn to be major league ready. According to Cafardo, the Dodgers' pitching issues make them look every day like a better fit for Washburn.
- A source tells Cafardo that Elijah Dukes' rumored deal with the Tabasco Olmecas of the Mexican League fell through after Dukes failed to show up for a reporting date. Cafardo indicates that the 25-year-old could end up spending the year away from baseball.

Blue Jays Sign Jose Molina
The Blue Jays signed Jose Molina to a one-year deal that includes a club option for 2011, according to MLB.com's Jordan Bastian. Molina is guaranteed $400K and he makes $400K more if he is on the team's opening day roster. The 2011 club option is worth $1.2MM. The Blue Jays are putting Jesse Litsch on the 60-day DL to make room for Molina.
Molina made $2MM with the Yankees last year, hitting .217/.292/.268 in 155 plate appearances. The 34-year-old has a passable .690 career OPS against lefties, but free agent acquisition John Buck also does better against southpaws (.749 OPS against left-handers, .687 OPS against right-handers).
The move gives the Blue Jays depth to go along with Buck and Raul Chavez. It's a low-risk signing that gives the Blue Jays the power to keep Molina for two seasons if they like his production. The Blue Jays signed Jose's brother, Bengie, to a one-year $5MM deal four years ago.

Texas Pursuing Jose Molina
Jose Molina is the Rangers' "No.1 target" in the free agent catching market, reports Jeff Wilson of The Fort Worth Star-Telegram. Molina and Rod Barajas each turned down minor-league deals from Texas, with Wilson saying that Molina "isn't in a hurry to sign until some other catchers set the early-spring market."
Molina could also be holding out for a situation where he would have a better chance at a steady role, given that he would be one of seven catchers in the Rangers camp. Taylor Teagarden and Jarrod Saltalamacchia are the favorites to win or share the starting job, but Saltalamacchia's September shoulder surgery has left Texas looking for a veteran backstop in case their young star isn't ready for Opening Day. Wilson points out that Toby Hall (another experienced catcher signed to a minor-league deal by Texas last month) and Molina share the same agent.
Molina .217/.292/.268 in 155 plate appearances for the Yankees last season. He has a career OPS of .609 in 10 major league seasons.

Odds & Ends: Molina, Maya, Damon, Marlins
Links for Monday…
- With catcher Jarrod Saltalamacchia recovering from shoulder surgery, the Rangers are interested in free agent catcher Jose Molina, industry sources tell T.R. Sullivan of MLB.com. Molina would be the seventh catcher in camp for Texas if he is willing to sign a minor league deal and compete for a job.
- WEEI's Rob Bradford says the Red Sox are in preliminary negotiations with Cuban pitcher Yuniesky Maya. Sox president Larry Lucchino appears to say the Sox "would soon sign" Maya, in this Terreno de Pelota column by Uziel Gomez (translation credit to Nick Collias).
- Joe Morelli of the New Haven Register has plenty of quotes from Yankees GM Brian Cashman regarding Johnny Damon (hat tip to River Ave. Blues).
- Jack Moore of FanGraphs suggests that the Marlins' quiet offseason could cost them a shot at the playoffs.
- SI's Jon Heyman names his biggest offseason surprises, led by the Mariners' moves.

Molina Key To Catching Market
A "person in the industry" tells Jon Paul Morosi of FOX Sports that once Bengie Molina signs with a club, the rest of catchers on the open market are going to be scooped up quickly.
While the Mets are known to be pursuing Molina, the two sides are not close, according to one source. As a result, free agent catchers Rod Barajas, Jose Molina, and Yorvit Torrealba are still waiting by the phone. Torrealba is drawing interest from the Mariners, Rockies, Rangers, Mets, and Giants.
Reportedly, Molina is seeking a three-year deal worth roughly $20MM. Do you think he will continue to hold out for that type of money, or will he ease up on his demands and sign with a team relatively soon?

Olanzapine approved for the acute treatment of schizophrenia or manic/mixed episodes associated with bipolar I disorder in adolescent patients
Authors Ann E Maloney, Linmarie Sikich
Published Date November 2010 Volume 2010:6(1) Pages 749—766
DOI http://dx.doi.org/10.2147/NDT.S6614

1Maine Medical Center Research Institute, Scarborough, ME, USA; 2Department of Psychiatry, Tufts University School of Medicine, Boston, MA, USA; 3Department of Psychiatry, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Chapel Hill, NC, USA
Background: Severe and persistent mental illnesses in children and adolescents, such as early-onset schizophrenia spectrum (EOSS) disorders and pediatric bipolar disorder (pedBP), are increasingly recognized. Few treatments have demonstrated efficacy in rigorous clinical trials. Enduring response to current medications appears limited. Recently, olanzapine was approved for the treatment of adolescents with schizophrenia or acute manic/mixed episodes in pedBP.
Methods: PubMed searches were conducted for olanzapine combined with pharmacology, schizophrenia, or bipolar disorder. Searches related to schizophrenia and bipolar disorder were limited to children and adolescents. The bibliographies of the retrieved articles were hand-checked for additional relevant studies. The epidemiology, phenomenology, and treatment of EOSS and pedBP, and olanzapine's pharmacology are reviewed. Studies of olanzapine treatment in youth with EOSS and pedBP are examined.
Results: Olanzapine is efficacious for EOSS and pedBP. However, olanzapine is not more efficacious than risperidone, molindone, or haloperidol in EOSS and is less efficacious than clozapine in treatment-resistant EOSS. No comparative trials have been done in pedBP. Olanzapine is associated with weight gain, dyslipidemia, and transaminase elevations in youth. Extrapyramidal symptoms, neuroleptic malignant syndrome, and blood dyscrasias have also been reported but appear rare.
Conclusions: The authors conclude that olanzapine should be considered a second-line agent in EOSS and pedBP due to its risks for significant weight gain and lipid dysregulation. Awareness of the consistent weight and metabolic changes observed in olanzapine-treated youth focused attention on the potential long-term risks of atypical antipsychotics in youth.
Keywords: early-onset schizophrenia, pediatric bipolar disorder, antipsychotic

How to use the Sidebar of your website.
By now you know what the Sidebar is, you just want to know how best to use it. In this tutorial, we'll discuss position of the Sidebar, best practices for adding content to your Sidebar, and show some examples of well-designed Sidebars.
Sidebar Location
The location of the Sidebar is determined by which layout you choose. Some layouts put the Sidebar on the left, right, or the bottom of the page. While it is not possible to remove the Sidebar from your site completely, if you choose a layout where the Sidebar is on the bottom, you can essentially hide it by not adding any elements there.
Here is a list of layouts with Sidebars on the bottom:
- Barcelona
- Miami
- New York
- Rio de Janeiro
Sidebar Best Practices
The Sidebar of your site is a great place to add contact information, business hours, links to your social media profiles, and anything else you want your visitors to have easy access to, no matter what page they land on.
Contact Information
Make sure your visitors know how to get in touch with you. Add a Heading element to the Sidebar and a Text element with your phone number, email, and address where you can be reached if your customers want to get ahold of you regarding your products, services, or anything else.
Business Hours
If you run a business with a physical location where your customers may need to visit you, be sure to put your hours of operation in the Sidebar so they will know when they can drop by.
Social Media
If you have a Facebook, Twitter, Google+, or any other social media profile for your business, the Sidebar is a great place to link to those. You can download the official logos from each social network's site and upload them individually to Photo elements, or as a group to a Photo Gallery element. Then turn them into links to each of your corresponding profiles.
You may also want to add the Share Buttons element to the Sidebar so that anyone can click them to share your content with their followers.
Share buttons will only work properly in the Sidebar to share that specific page if they are added to a Columns element.
Sidebar Examples
Of course, it's up to you how you want to use the Sidebar on your website, but here are four examples of how existing users have set up the Sidebar on their sites:

Whether you are a gardener, a landscaper, a lawn nut or just an avid environmentalist, you'll find that mulching is a surefire way to improve the quality of your yard. Mulching often gets confused for composting, but they are two different things. Mulching is dry and composting is wet. Mulching is more about weed control and moisture conservation, and composting is used more like fertilizer. (It is also useful in preventing your yard from being affected by drought.) Both are great for your soil.
Here are some reasons to mulch:
1. Water Conservation Mulching traps more moisture in the soil where it gets utilized by plants. You won't have to water as often.
2. Plant Food Once the mulch breaks down, it turns into plant food (compost). It makes your soil and plants healthier.
3. Waste Reduction Instead of throwing your leaves and grass clippings in the landfill, you'll be reusing them to increase the luster of your flowerbed. You can even use old wood chippings and newspapers.
4. Weed Control Who'd like less weeds in their gardens? Don't raise your hands all at once. Mulching significantly reduces the amount of weeds. Why risk harming plants and the environment with herbicides when mulch can do the trick naturally? You can't lie on the grass and read like the guy in the picture when your yard is covered in chemicals.
5. Inexpensive This might not be environmentally green, but it's green like cash. Mulch can be made for free out of waste materials. Why spend countless dollars buying environmentally dubious chemicals and equipment to achieve the results?
