Title: Smarty Plants on Wildflower Meadow Gardening
Answered by: Joe Marcus
QUESTION:Good morning! I want to overseed a buffalo lawn that has been down for about a year with a wildflower mix, how would you recommend that we prepare the site.
ANSWER:First, I recommend reading our article on Wildflower Meadow Gardening. You may also find useful information in other articles in the Native Plant Information Network Clearinghouse Native Plant Library.
The most important concept to apply when sowing seeds is the essential truth of good soil contact. Since your lawn has been in for a year, there is bound to be quite a bit of grass mulch covering the surface of the soil. Try to get as much of that up as is reasonable. Sow your seed by whatever method you find most effective and then go over the seeded area with a leaf rake -- two or three times is better. The idea here is to get those seeds down onto or slightly into the soil. If no rain occurs in the first few days after sowing, the seeds should be watered in well. Do not mow your buffalo grass in late summer or fall.
Wildflower seed germination is often sporadic and subject to influences outside our control -- weather, insects, disease, etc. Further, a newly sown wildflower meadow typically takes three to five years to become well-established. Sometimes it helps to know this to adjust expectations to reality.

Armenian fire disturbs armistice again
11 June 2014 [11:45] -
The ceasefire on the Armenian-Azerbaijani contact line was broken 29 times last night, the Azerbaijani defense ministry said on June 11.
At the same time, the Azerbaijani positions took fire from the positions located in the villages of Goradiz, Qarakhanbayli, Ashagi Seyidahmadli of the Fizuli region, Yusifjanli, Merzili, Shuraabad, Namirli, Shikhlar of the Aghdam region, Kuropatkino of the Khojavend region, Mehdili of Jabrail region, Qizil Oba of the Terter region and the nameless heights in Goranboy region.
The opposing side was silenced with return fire.
The conflict between the two South Caucasus countries began in 1988 when Armenia made territorial claims against Azerbaijan. As a result of the ensuing war, in 1992 Armenian armed forces occupied 20 percent of Azerbaijan, including the Nagorno-Karabakh region and seven surrounding districts.
The two countries signed a ceasefire agreement in 1994. The co-chairs of the OSCE Minsk Group, Russia, France and the U.S. are currently holding peace negotiations.
Armenia has not yet implemented the U.N. Security Council's four resolutions on the liberation of the Nagorno-Karabakh and the surrounding regions.

Ranch hospital performs single-incision Lap-Band surgery
Date: September 17, 2009
by: The Observer Staff
Lakewood Ranch Medical Center this morning became the first medical facility on the Suncoast to offer single-incision Lap-Band. Dr. Jose Erbella performed the procedure at the hospital.
This procedure is less invasive than most Lap-Band surgeries because it requires only a single incision through the belly button, which leaves the patient with little to no scar and a quicker recovery time. The Lap-Band Adjustable Gastric Banding System helps patients gradually lose and control their weight by reducing the amount of food a patient's stomach can hold at one time.
For more information on the procedure, call Erbella's office, 744-2700

2014 NBA Draft News: Philadelphia 76ers Badly Want Canadian Andrew Wiggins
- Order Reprints
- Text Size
By James Patrick Quizon | June 18, 2014 12:58 PM EST
Andrew Wiggins had a workout with the Philadelphia 76ers on Tuesday with Philly taking the first crack at the draft prospect over the Cleveland Cavaliers and Milwaukee Bucks, which have scheduled their own workout with Wiggins on Wednesday and Friday, respectively.
How bad do the Sixers want Wiggins? According to an ESPN report, Philadelphia has inquired about an exchange with the Cavaliers' first pick and is willing to give up their No. 3 pick and power forward Thaddeus Young in exchange for the top pick in the 2014 NBA Draft set on June 26.
There's also an intentional secrecy within the Philly camp with regards to Wiggins' visit to their city recently.
"Campus security asked the news media and fans to leave at the team's request. A Philadelphia police officer was summoned later because the media stood on the sidewalk instead of across the street from the facility," reports Philly.com.
Days before the scheduled workout, the 19-year-old forward was already in Philadelphia and was also seen with Sixers general manager Sam Hinkie in a restaurant.
Aside from the 3rd pick in the expected top-heavy draft, Philadelphia also has the 10th overall selection. The Cavs own the top pick and the Bucks will be picking second.
Wiggins, who was born in Ontario, Canada averaged 17.1 points and 5.9 rebounds for the Kansas Jayhawks in his first and only year in college.
Other top prospects in the draft include Joel Embiid (Kansas), Jabari Parker (Duke), Dante Exum (Australian Institute of Sports) and Noah Vonleh (Indiana). The trio of Embiid, Parker and Wiggins are expected to go 1-2-3 in although the exact positioning varies in most mock drafts.

EVER SINCE the Protestant reformation in Germany, when Martin Luther discovered
he could reach out to the illiterate classes through simple woodcutting and
metal engravings, political cartoons have become a real means of communicating
with the public.Later, Benjamin Franklin's "Join or Die" cartoon, which
depicts a snake whose severed parts represent the Colonies, would become widely
acknowledged as the first political cartoon in America.The reason
political cartoons are popular is that they are fun to read and often offer a
fresh, sometimes humorous, perspective on current events.Many newspapers
around the world employ the skills of a political cartoonist and The Jerusalem
Post is no different.For years, the Post has run the popular "Dry Bones"
series by cartoonist Yaakov Kirschen which next month celebrates its 40th
anniversary.Kirschen named his works "Dry Bones" after the
2,600-year-old writings by the biblical Prophet Ezekiel, who refers to having
seen thousands of dry bones in a vision, and prophesies the rebirth of the
Jewish State.The Dry Bones Project aims, through research and analysis,
to create an educational outreach program that will advance popular
understanding, and to correct willful rewriting of history.The project
intends to do this by means of cartoons, cartoon history books and other works,
and through educational lectures.In an interview with Kirschen in Asian
Jewish Life magazine, Erica Lyons writes, "'Dry Bones' has been a Jewish
household favorite since it first appeared in 1973. It has been reprinted, or
quoted in a myriad of publications including the New York Times, Time magazine,
the Los Angeles Times, CBS, AP and Forbes.Kirschen's graphic art has,
for decades, provided an insightful, pictorial commentary on many of the most
significant events of the day.: Collectively, the "Dry Bones" collection reads
more like an academic treatise than a comic strip, offering distinct graphic
perspectives and snapshots in time.Earlier this year, the Israeli
Cartoon Museum awarded its Golden Pencil Award to Kirschen in recognition of his
lifetime achievements.The museum's curator, Liat Margalit said, "The
reality of life in Israel led Zionist Kirschen to lovingly comment on the many
absurdities he found in the reborn Jewish State. In many ways, 'Dry Bones' is
Kirschen's ongoing occupation with the relationship between vision and reality,
and his attempts to live with this duality inside him, through the protagonists
of his comics strip."Shuldig ("guilty" in Yiddish) is Kirschen's alter
ego.He is a regular Israeli, an idealistic Zionist, and an incorrigible
optimist. Doobie – Shuldig's dog – is a cynical realist, always balancing out
Shuldig's unbridled and sugary optimism. A few other cartoon regulars populate
the political comic strip: King Solomon represents Israel's government and is
the medium through which Kirschen mocks Israeli leadership flaws. Man Drinking
Coffee reacts to the latest news while sipping a cup of coffee at a café. The
Two Guys' discussions represent the views of the Israeli public.Through
this minimal group of simple characters, Kirschen has managed to put together a
profoundly satirical view of life in Israel and beyond, in his internationally
syndicated cartoon. He is followed by eager fans who also enjoy his
award-winning blog (DryBonesBlog.com), launched in 2005.KIRSCHEN WAS born in Brooklyn in 1938. After graduating from Queens College in
1961, he began working as a freelance gag cartoonist.In 1968, while
still living in the US, Kirschen began to experiment with the use of humorous
cartoons to deliver political messages. His work at the time was Zionist and
anti-Vietnam War.In 1971, he made aliya with his wife and three
daughters. He changed his name (originally Jerry) to Yaakov, and two years later
began drawing his political and humorous daily comic strip for The Jerusalem
Post.For the past 40 years, "Dry Bones" has continued to offer profound
satire and witty commentary on everyday Israeli news and international
events.In 1993, his graphic novel, Trees, The Green Testament was
published. In it, the trees of the world tell the story of the Jewish people,
ecology, environmental destruction, reforestation, and Zionism. A front-page
story in the Wall Street Journal reported on the surprising popularity of the
book and its establishment as an underground cult favorite.In 2009,
Kirschen was made a visiting fellow and artist-in-residence at Yale University's
Initiative for the Interdisciplinary Study of anti-Semitism and Racism, where he
was asked to study the relationship between anti-Semitism and political
cartoons.In 2011, he founded the "Dry Bones Project" (Dry-
BonesProject.com) and began to work on a series of graphic novels about Israel's
3,500 year-old history as the indigenous people of the Land of Israel. The
initial works will be published in Chinese for distribution in China.I
MEET with Kirschen at his home in Herzliya Pituah where we sat and discussed his
early beginnings, his time at the Post and the project he is currently involved
with."Back in the day there were two types of cartoons," Kirschen says.
"There were editorial cartoons and comic strips. An editorial cartoon was always
a box and a comic strip was never political, though there were people who pushed
the envelope."I did two things in America. I was a computer expert and I
was a cartoonist. The idea of computers being related to entertainment, or
cartoons being structured to have an effect... [it] seemed to me that the two
[went] together, but to the rest of the world the two were
separate."When I made aliya, I thought I'd come here and I'd be in the
computer business. But when I saw the insanity of [Israeli] society, as an
American I said, 'what's missing is a comic strip for people to laugh [at] and
enjoy. Or maybe it needs to be an editorial cartoon.' "I said, 'What if I make
it a comic strip that is an editorial cartoon? Well, how would I do that? If I
took the thing and I cut it in half, then the overall shape would be an
editorial cartoon, but it would read like a comic strip!' "And I came to The
Jerusalem Post with it, and there was a guy named Ted Lurie and he was the
editor-in-chief.The cartoon worked its way to Lurie, who really didn't
like it and really did not understand it."And I knew that since the
editor who took the cartoon from me said, 'we don't have cartoons. This stuff
you're doing is wonderful, but the editor-in-chief sees us as being the New York
Times of the Middle East. But this is so good, I'm going to pass it on to him,
but hey, kid, forget it – it's not gonna happen.' "Within a week, I'm called in
by Lurie and he's going to run the cartoon. So I said, 'Good!' So we can start next week?' He said, 'No, no no. Right now, we're in the middle
of December. You know what? Let's start January 1. I'll tell you why, I don't
understand this cartoon at all, but people here tell me they like
it."'I'm willing to put it in the paper. If, after a couple of weeks, it
doesn't get a following, I'm going to dump it. If however, it gets a following,
and you're here a couple of years, you'll always be able to tell people, "I
started on January 1, 1973.' "And I thought, 'What an idiot!' And for the last
40 years, when people ask, when did it start? I say, 'January 1, 1973!' Years
later, I was talking to the editor to whom I passed on the cartoon, and I said,
'Well you see, Ted Lurie really was resilient!' And he asked, 'Did no one ever
tell you why he really took the cartoon?' "He had a [visit from a] delegation of
prominent newspaper editors from America. They were here as a group and came to
the Post, and after showing them around, he took them to lunch. And Lurie asked
them, 'What do you think of my paper?' And one of them said, 'How come you don't
have your own cartoonist?' "He came back from that lunch to find the 'Dry Bones'
cartoon on his desk – which means that my grandmother could have sold the
cartoon at that point! And it has continued for 40 years. And along the way,
I've commented on all sorts of stuff going on. So that's the
story."AFTER MANY years," Kirschen continues, "I was asked by an
organization at Yale to be a scholar/artist-inresidence to study anti-Semitic
cartoons.They felt the idea of an interdisciplinary study involving a
cartoonist may add perspective."Being a pushy, Jewish, Israeli
cartoonist, I said, 'What do I have to do? Do I need to move here?' They said,
'No, but you need to write a paper.' I figured, 'What the heck, why not? I could
do that.' 'Well,' I said to myself, 'first I should collect anti-Semitic
cartoons.' "So I began to collect them and I made a discovery. And the last
thing I expected was to actually discover something.And what I
discovered has to do with memetics. The thing that gets stuck in your head and
is passed on to other people is called a meme."A meme is a viral belief.
A cultural virus. Anti-Semitism is a cultural virus. It is a virus that affects
society. The idea of a virus is that it reproduces itself in different hosts.
Biological viruses infect people, computer viruses infect our digital systems
and dangerous cultural viruses infect our societies."What is it we
political cartoonists do? Some of my colleagues will say we try to illuminate
the truth, fight injustice and fight for a better society," he says.An
exhibit at Hofstra University Museum in New York launched in October titled
"Political Slant: Editorial Cartoons," displays political cartoons by a number
of prominent American cartoonists.In a recent interview with New York
Times, cartoonist and Pulitzer Prize-winner Signe Wilkinson of the Philadelphia
Daily News said, "Political cartoons do not really change people's minds, but
they're important to grease the wheels of public discourse, and to give people a
different way to imagine an issue."Kirschen appears to take a similar
stance. "What we really do is we put ideas in people's heads – I just admit to
it. In any case, that makes me a master of memetics, since I'm trying to infect
people all the time with my ideas!" KIRSCHEN SAYS there is a definitive way to
identify anti-Semitic cartoons. "You can't ask, 'Is a cartoon
anti-Semitic or not?' and then say, 'Well, it's like pornography – you can't
define it, but you know it when you see it.' Nonsense! I have totally analyzed
this whole thing."Through his research, Kirschen pinpoints three
families of viral memes (anti-Semitic image codes found in contemporary
political cartoons): dehumanization, stereotyping and moral inversion."I
think the cartoonist is infected," he explains."The cartoonist may not
know he is infected. The person who did this may be infected with that
idea."And altogether there are about 34 images of anti- Semitism that
depict Jews, and those particular images are burnt into your head. Once you see
a graphic of a Jew with horns, you never forget it. The Nazis made heavy use of
cartoons to spread their message of Jew-hatred."Dehumanization says,
"What are Jews?" According to the cartoons that fit into this category, Jews are
demonic, baby-killing, satanic, blood-drinking vermin."There are 17
categories I discovered in the dehumanizing family," Kirschen
says."Stereotyping says, 'What do Jews do? Jews are rich, ugly,
money-grubbing and powerful. They secretly control the banks, the media
and the world.'" Kirschen explains moral inversion. "The Holocaust happened and
a new family grew up – moral inversion. Moral inversion says, 'Sure the Nazis
did terrible things to the Jews, and now the Jews are doing the same damn thing.
You look at Gaza, that's one big concentration camp."'Just because they
had to deal with Nazis doesn't give them the right to act like Nazis also...
Israel is an apartheid state.' "All of these are in the family of moral
inversion.And though everybody is running around trying to argue that
Israel has so many Nobel prize winners, Israel has many medical advances – that
doesn't stop people from claiming Jews are demonic Nazi victimizers. So the
argument goes. Unless you see that it's a virus."And you can't argue
with a virus. You have to somehow confront the virus."And when I went
around giving speeches, and I would show these presentations, the annoying thing
was, at the end people would say, 'Okay, so what are we supposed to do?' What
are you asking me for? I discovered there's a virus! And they would say, 'No!
You're the cartoonist! You figured it out, you've got to do something about it!'
"If you're Louis Pasteur, it's not enough to discover the virus – you've got to
come up with the vaccine and do something about it."So, No. 1, I stopped
giving the speeches – I really did. Because every time I would show it [the
presentation], people would say, 'Now what? This is really depressing! And you
don't have an answer? The whole world will be affected and that's the end of us!' "So I stopped giving speeches, but I kept
thinking about it. And then I realized that the moral inversion strain had now
really blossomed and it now could be called the 'Nakba strain.' "The 'Nakba
strain' says, 'Jews may be smart, they may be victimized, they may have been
messed around by the Holocaust, but in 1948 they came here and they seized the
land of the indigenous people, the Palestinians, and they set up a Western
colonial state on the land of the indigenous Palestinians, and now they won't
even give back part of the land to have some degree of freedom.' "This is
believed wherever the 'Nakba strain' has spread. We have moved from Holocaust
denial to history denial. It means that 3,500 years of pre-1948 history have
been erased. Therefore, the vaccine is to bring back the knowledge of those
3,500 years. So if somebody says 'Nakba,' I say, 'What are you talking about? We
were messed over by the Romans before we were messed over by the Arabs. We were
messed over by the Macedonian Greeks. You guys are latecomers. We've been here a
long time!' "But people don't have that knowledge. And then I began to analyze
this and I discovered that our view of the whole world is North and South
America, Europe and the Middle East – maybe some of Africa. But we don't think
of Asia."So I said, 'Gee, since I speak in cartoons, and the Chinese and
Japanese are really into cartoons, what if I do something about showing the
3,500 years of pre-1948 history?' So I did something and I did it in
Chinese."HERE, KIRSCHEN pulls out an illustrated book he made for
Chinese children. He sees an opportunity to educate China about Israel's
pre-1948, 3,500 year history through a series of free, online, digital
Chinese-language graphic books. Each work will tie the history of China to the
history of Israel, emphasizing the concept of the Jews and the Chinese as two
ancient civilizations that have survived centuries of attack by barbarian forces
and foreign empires.According to Kirschen, governments, NGOs and other
"rewriters of history" attempt to erase the history of the Jewish people in the
Land of Israel. China's 1.3 billion people have not yet been infected with this
denial of Jewish history.Kirschen hopes his initiative, aptly named
"Project3500," will educate and advance civic responsibility by countering the
rewriting of history by governments and non-governmental organizations, their
funders, and associated frameworks.In the interview with Erica Lyons in
the Asian Jewish Life magazine, Kirschen explains, "My work at Yale,
investigating anti-Semitism in political cartoons, brought me face to face with
the fact that the Chinese were non-Jews who had not been infected with the
behavioral virus that we call 'anti-Semitism.' Unlike European nations, they
haven't been tainted by anti-Semitism."He cites the absence of
preconceived prejudices in China against the Jewish/Israeli story and openness
to further exploration and a general curiosity to understand this 'Start-up
Nation.' To Kirschen, China's next generation is ripe for this introduction to
the history of Israel and Jewish people and his project affords a layer of
protections against one of the great dangers Israel/Jews face, the rampant
"willful rewriting of history." Each "Project3500" trip is a new educational
opportunity and a way to reach this new audience.He says, "There is an
obvious and natural economic fit between our two nations... but as bearers of
ancient wisdoms our two nations, Israel and China, have a responsibility to do
more – to bring civilization and stability to a chaotic world."My
message, the message of Project3500, is about the importance of our
civilization, and if I do it right, the works should be exciting, fun, and a
turn-on for a new generation."Aside from Project3500, one of Kirschen's
long-standing goals has been to create a Passover Haggada. And now, through his
Kickstarter online project, he hopes to raise enough money to realize his
dream.The type of success and recognition he has achieved would make any
man proud. But he is not ready to stop. He continues to publish a weekly cartoon
in The Jerusalem Post in the belief that he can help people see reality from a
different perspective.He truly hopes to change perceptions on a grand
scale. No bones about it, Kirschen has made his mark.

Boxing News 2014: Former Promoter Frank Maloney Undergoes Gender Reassignment, Now a Woman Named Kellie
- Order Reprints
- Text Size
By Vittorio Hernandez | August 12, 2014 9:13 AM EST
Frank Maloney, a former boxing promoter in Britain, came out on Sunday at the age of 61 and introduced to the world his new identity - Kellie Maloney. He was behind the boxing career of former world heavyweight champion Lennox Lewis.
Kellie appeared in Britain's Sunday Mirror and admitted she is anticipating a tough response to her revelation from the macho sport of boxing, although it turned out that many supported her decision to undergo gender reassignment.
One of those who supported Maloney is Lewis himself, who admitted initial shock but said he respected his former promoter's decision. "I was just as shocked as anyone at the news about my former promoter and my initial thought was that it was a wind-up," Lewis said in a statement.
He added, "The great thing about life, and boxing, is that, day-to-day, you never know what to expect ... The world we live in isn't always cut and dried, or black and white, and coming from the boxing fraternity, I can imagine what a difficult decision this must be for [Maloney]."
At the end of Lewis's statement was the hashtag #LiveAndLetLive as he concluded, "I respect Kellie's decision and say that, if this is what brings about true happiness in her life, than so be it."
Maloney was married twice and has three daughters. She said, "I wasn't born to the right body. I have always known I was a woman. I can't keep living in the shadows."
As part of his gender reassignment preparation, Maloney - who said she has felt different since childhood - started hormone treatment, hair removal procedure, voice coaching and specialist counseling as part of the NHS guidelines that a transsexual must spend two years as a female before he would qualify for corrective surgery.
According to The Telegraph, Maloney, after the collapse of his marriage, tried to commit suicide by drinking a mixture of alcohol and prescription pills as he struggled living a secret life.
While coming out to his wife and daughters was a very difficult experience for Maloney, it was a different case for his mum Maureen, who even joked, "Why didn't you come [out] to me when you were younger? All we had to do was change the "i" to an "e" in your name, Francis."
Maloney, known for his Union Flag suits, secretly dressed as a woman but threw the clothes away after trying them for fear of being caught. He later visited an underground dressing-up service in Dublin that gave him a makeover and let him appear like a female for a few hours.
He retired from boxing in October 2013 after spending 30 years in the sport as promoter.

While U.S. boxing promoter Don King had belittled Maloney as a mental midget, others in the athletic world had kinder words for their colleague. Former super heavyweight champion Alex Arthur said Frank is a good and kind person "in a world of selfish, horrible, cut-throat pimps."
Eric Hall, a football promoter and being a close friend of Maloney, tweeted, "So Frank Maloney has swapped boxing gloves for chiffon gloves! Jokes aside he's an old mate and it took guts to come out. Good luck Kellie."

The Royals beat Justin Verlander? Of course they did.
May 2, 2012, 4:31 PM EST
Pop quiz, hot shot: You're one of the worst teams in baseball. You are starting a guy with a 6.75 ERA who has walked more dudes than he has struck out. You're facing the defending AL Central champs with the reigning AL Cy Young Award winner and MVP on the mound. How's it gonna turn out?
Just fine, thanks: The Royals and Jonathan Sanchez beat Justin Verlander and the Tigers 3-2.
It was tied at two heading into the ninth when Jaoquin Benoit took over for Verlander. After retiring the first man he faced, Benoit gave up a double to Mike Moustakas, who then advanced to third on a groundout. Up came Chris Getz who hit an infield single to short scoring Moustakas. Jonathan Broxton came in to close it out in the ninth.
As the saying goes, you can't predict baseball. There are no Master Lock: Keys to the Game. Anyone who does the "What [Team X] needs to do to win" thing is wasting time. Baseball just happens. Sometimes the worst beats the best. And it means little, because there's another game tomorrow.
- proudlycanadian - May 2, 2012 at 4:40 PM
The Royals were ranked 9th on SI.Com's Power Rankings (as of April 29) and the Tigers were ranked 30th. What does SI.Com know that nobody else knows? On the other hand the 29th ranked Blue Jays just won 2 out of 3 from the first place Rangers. SI.Com has to be right because they use WAR and other "advanced Metrics" – NOT!
- churchoftheperpetuallyoutraged - May 2, 2012 at 5:09 PM
What does SI.Com know that nobody else knows
That giving full value to UZR this early in the season is absurd. That's why the Royals are ranked where they are.
- Jeremy T - May 3, 2012 at 6:23 PM
Along with some unfortunate timing (poor "clutch hitting") and the fact that there's a very large cluster of teams that are very close to each other in the middle.
- michaelg956 - May 2, 2012 at 4:43 PM
I'll have to check my records but I believe the Texas Rangers are the defending AL Champs, two years running.
- racksie - May 2, 2012 at 4:48 PM
I was about to say the same thing, but Craig fixed it.
- paperlions - May 2, 2012 at 4:56 PM
Defending AL Champs? Really?
- randygnyc - May 2, 2012 at 4:57 PM
Verlander has sure run into some hard luck this year. The tiger's bulging offense goes limp when he pitches, and their bullpen has done more to undermine him than opposing offenses.
- pestiesti - May 2, 2012 at 5:07 PM
Does Craig dating a Tigers fan mean that we will get one of these "It will be ok" posts after every tough loss? Because… well… I could live with that.
- icanspeel - May 2, 2012 at 5:08 PM
They didn't exactly beat Verlander as Benoit was the one who lost the game.. In this scenario it is more like the Royals bullpen was better than the Tigers bullpen
- yankeesgameday - May 2, 2012 at 5:47 PM
"and it means little" kinda puts a cramp in hard ball talk's raison d'etre doesn't it Craig?
- dawgpoundmember - May 2, 2012 at 6:11 PM
I wouldn't even say the royals pen won it…Sanchez was just one over the minimum until the sixth. So with that said, it's okay Craig, it would be better for the team to get hot say in September.
- royalsfaninfargo - May 2, 2012 at 6:47 PM
I guess even "little league teams" can win a game now and again.
- stex52 - May 2, 2012 at 8:56 PM
"Baseball just happens." That says it all. Other sports are like contests. Baseball is like your life. And not only because it goes on and on forever and ever.
- metrocritical - May 2, 2012 at 11:09 PM
This year is not going to be the cakewalk for the Tigers that some predicted. Many of the players had career years in 2011, the team did nothing to improve its woeful defense or add speed and the loss of Fister and Martinez has left them with a flawed roster that will struggle on and off for the entire season. They may take the division but it won't be by 15 games.
By the way speed readers, this article stated that Detroit was the AL Central champ last year, not the AL Champ. Read every word of every sentence and you will get mote out of the experience.

Recently I went for brunch with some of my friends. While chatting about a bunch of things, ne of them said, "These days children have so many options to have fun. We were so unlucky in our times. All we had was some sports." While this statement greatly surprised me because having access to sports and a place to practice those sports is such a luxury now, it also got me thinking about the fun options that kids really have these days.
Actually why just kids. The amount of fun options that adults have has also increased drastically. And given the issues of space, time and money, most of these options have been designed keeping that in mind. There are tonnes of game arcades, online activities and now, apps. All these help you have a good time sitting in the comfort of a one game parlour or even at home.
But then, if everybody is designing such games and it's a usual occurrence then what's new? How can somebody step the game up? Is it just about scoring points online and becoming the highest scorer? Is it just some about thrills of shooting a suspect on the screen? Is it only virtual and not connected to any of our real lives at all?
Well, no.
Smart and innovative companies have realized that people want more. They have realized that in order to satisfy customers who have a lot more options and are much more demanding, they need to offer much more. And which is what a company like Fat Cat is doing now. They have introduced a path-breaking game called Lucky 6.
This unique mobile game which is available for iOS and Android is not unique in its features but also in ts funding – it is a crowd funding game! The game itself is based fully on stock market and is a creative lottery-style game.
One just has to download the app on your android or iOS device ( can also be got from here). Next one has to sign up for the game following the simple steps and activation link. Once in the game, one has to enter the contest 30 minutes before it starts. Here, one selects 6 companies from the list whose scores you will check timely. Once you get a ticket (for each of the company selected) to monitor your selected brands performance you just need to remember that the performance is linked to actual results on the stock market. Each day once can select new six companies to keep playing the game.
If your selected six brands are in the list of top 6 performing brands on the 'Game day' then you win the lottery! The prizes are a jackpot of Rs.25 Lakh for the winner or a holiday trip to an exotic place for the top scorer, if there I no winner! That is not all, if you introduce a new player who ends up winning the jackpot, you get a hefty bonus too! Winners are declared swiftly an promptly!
My verdict:
- Easy to understand: there is plenty of information given for newbies like me and I had no trouble understanding or playing the game.
- Secure: I was asked for the passcode couple of times which made me feel that that security is as aspect well thought of in Lucky 6.
- Simple: The graphics were not heavy or jarring. I found the game very simple and friendly.

Security update for Windows Vista KB2655992

This was one of 6 security updates which I installed yesterday, only to have Firefox, IE and Google Chrome hang indefinitely. As the only change I had made was installed these updates I uninstalled them all and now browsing works fine. Does anyone know which of this group of updates is the problem or are they all inter-related. I don't like not installing necessary updates but also don't want my browsing mucked up. I've checked on Google that there seems to be issues with Windows 7 updates but nothing is mentioned for Vista. Thank you

Have you tried installing them one at a time? Takes a bit longer but there are times when this way is the only solution if you have problems with updates.
