Scharf I s correct when he states:
" the bill "risks creating unintended but negative consequences for us."
The negative consequences being that council members may not be able to stay in office forever. Remember the voters decided on term limits, the law is constitutional, so I am not sure what people like Scharf and Klein and kniss are thinking ( besides about themselves) and why they have such contempt for the will of the people?

Judd Apatow teams with Key & Peele for 'Untitled Movie I Cannot Wait To See'
Good call, Universal.
Keegan-Michael Key and Jordan Peele are two of the funniest people on television right now, and their sketch show "Key & Peele" is brutally funny, week after week, bit after bit. Peele seems to be the guy who disappears into his characters, while Key is just plain hilarious, as outrageous and oversized a comic presence as Daffy Duck. As long as these guys are given room to follow their own voice as a team, they represent pretty much unfettered potential.
It was just a matter of time before someone got them to make a movie as a team. So far, I think Keegan-Michael Key has had better opportunities in movies. Whatever you think of the film as a whole, it's pretty hard to deny that he is in amazing form in "Hell Baby," where he plays a character named F'resnell who is basically Bugs Bunny. He's that character who can step in from the edge of the frame, make any joke, do anything, and then skate away with no consequence. It's the sort of role that a comic must love just as an exercise in pure unbridled energy. I liked him a lot when he guested on "The League," too, as a character named Carmenjello. The moment Key starts speaking, in pretty much anything I've seen him in, I'm laughing. He has that sort of energy as a comic performer. He is innately funny, and seems to have an endless appetite for pushing things to strange and hilarious places.

Franz Kafka (1883-1924) was born into a Jewish family in Prague. In 1906 he received a doctorate in jurisprudence, and for many years he worked a tedious job as a civil service lawyer investigating claims at the state Worker's Accident Insurance Institute. He never married, and published only a few slim volumes of stories during his lifetime. Meditation, a collection of sketches, appeared in 1912; The Stoker: A Fragment in 1913; The Metamorphosis in 1915; The Judgement in 1916; In the Penal Colony in 1919; and A Country Doctor in 1920. Only a few of his friends knew that Kafka was also at work on the great novels that were published after his death from tuberculosis: America, The Trial, and The Castle.

Charlie Sheen Granted Work Release, Likely to Begin Sentence This Weekby Hilton Hater at . Comments
We have an update on Charlie Sheen's plea bargain case - and the punishment for his alleged abuse of Brooke Mueller late last year continues to get lighter and lighter.
On Monday, the actor is expected to submit his plea and his proposal to the judge. It will include a request for a work release program, which means Sheen would be free to leave jail between the hours of 8 a.m. and 8 p.m.
Where will he go? TMZ reports the Two and a Half Men star will work at a professional theater in Aspen, serving as an acting coach, assisting with fundraisers and performing whatever tasks are asked of him.
He won't receive a salary, which should be rough on Sheen: he'll have to get by on the measly $2 million per episode CBS will pay him this fall. Poor, poor guy.
Never excusing domestic viollence but I get the feeling both played a part in it. I can't get too upset about. Lilo has 2 DUIs and more and she got no jail time. Its par for the course. who really thought charlie would do time? Even if its not Hollywood, DV is not taken seriously anywhere.

Community Beats AMD To New Radeon Audio Code
It was just yesterday that I was writing about AMD still not having any new HDMI audio support code available to the public for the Radeon HD 5000 series and newer. The hold-up on this HDMI audio code for the open-source Radeon driver has been due to the patches failing to clear AMD's legal review multiple times.

Based on the finite-difference technique, an efficient numerical method that can treat both the propagation constants and cutoff frequencies of optical fibers with arbitrary permittivity profiles is developed in the rigorous vector form. Such a propagation problem is formulated in transverse fields so that the proposed method does not suffer from spurious modes. The associated boundary conditions including those at cntoff are derived in a novel way. Thereafter, numerical results of the cutoff frequency and propagation constant of a fiber with the parabolic profile are presented.

Top experts gather in Carmel Valley for Help Keep Kids Safe town hall forum
By Karen Billing
Last week the lobby of Cathedral Catholic High's Guadalupe Theater was filled with large posters of missing children. Some of the faces, unfortunately, are well known, the ones we know who never came home like Chelsea King and Amber Dubois.
"San Diego has known too much tragedy. There are too many names etched into the hearts and minds of San Diego," said Ernie Allen, co-founder of the International Centre for Missing & Exploited Children
Allen was a distinguished guest at Cathedral Catholic High's Keep Kids Safe town hall forum on Jan. 30. The town hall presented an impressive gathering of authentic voices, advocates and experts on child exploitation, including kidnapping survivors Jessyca Mullenberg Christianson and Alicia Kozakiewicz, as well as Erin Runnion, the mother of 5-year-old Samantha Runnion who was kidnapped and murdered in 2002.
The forum topics and conversation were difficult to hear, but ultimately very important.
"The message of tonight is that it takes a whole community to keep kids safe," Allen said.
The event was presented in partnership with The Chadwick Center for Children and Families at Rady Children's Hospital. Cathedral Catholic senior James Morris and Bishop's School student Mason Church, both young advocates for missing children, were also key in organizing the event.
The panel members were available as they were in San Diego last week participating in the San Diego International Conference on Child and Family Maltreatment.
"These are tough issues," Allen said. "But there is hope."
He said more missing kids are coming home safely in America than any other time—the law enforcement community is better prepared, laws are better, the technology is better and the public is more alert and aware.
However, thousands of children are still being victimized in the country. Allen said there are currently 795,500 reported missing children. Of those, 203,900 are family abductions.
One in five girls will be sexually abused before the age of 18 and one in 10 boys; however, only one in three children will tell anyone about it.
Allen said 89 percent of the female victims are assaulted between the age of 12 and 17; 29 percent are victimized by someone that they know.
There are more than 736,000 registered sex offenders and 90,000 are in California alone.
Allen said rapes and sexual assaults are declining but still two-thirds of sex offenders in state prisons have victimized children and 30 percent have assaulted more than one child.
Allen said that additionally 100,000 kids are trafficked for sex in this country, many of them leaving their homes voluntarily with a predator who has lured them or they are targeted out of the child welfare system.
"(Sex trafficking) is not just a problem on the other side of the world, it's a problem in U.S. cities and the victims are U.S. kids," Allen said.
Allen said one of his first cases with the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children, which he also co-founded, was 7-year-old Leticia Hernandez who was abducted from her front yard in Oceanside in 1989. He said during the 13-month search for her they believed they came close to finding her several times but toward the end of the investigation her body was recovered close to her home and it appeared the remains had been there for quite some time.

Stop using bottles & pacifiers, and only offer him the breast. If it continues check for thrush. Samething happened to us -- went away, used a bottle [like, once a day], and she started refusing to eat. She had thrush but stopping the bottles cold turkey made her take the breast.

One more question... Do I pump to keep up my supply? Seems like he'll only 'kind of try' when my boobs are FULL of milk. This is so frustrating :(
Posted 07/23/2013
Yes continue to pump if he doesn't take your breast - store it to feed him at that time or a later point. Also only feed him in the position like you were breastfeeding. GL.

I've heard you can offer him just the bottle nipple and once they suck and get nothing, they are more willing to take the breast. Also, express some milk so LO tastes it. If you have a forceful let-down, try pumping some and then offering it to LO. You can do it! I believe in you! ;)

Words and Their Meanings by Kate Bassett
Sat, 11/15/2014 - 9:53am
Words and Their Meanings
is a young adult, debut novel that adults will appreciate as much as teens. Anna's Uncle Joe died after a brief illness. A college student only a few years older than Anna, he was raised as her brother, her confidant, and her best friend and Anna can't cope with the loss in this smart, inventive, insightful tale. Anna's first-person rendering of her grief makes for a "littmus lozenge" of a story. If you read Kate DiCamillo's
Because of Winn-Dixie,
you'll recall that Littmus Lozenges were a special candy that tasted both sweet and sad. They tasted of melancholy and made people recall happiness and sorrow.
Words and Their Meanings
is a wonder of a story that, like an enchanted "littmus lozenge" confection, inhabits the reader and creates a magical place where joy and grief can both abide.
Anna's family and friends worry about her and she's promised that on Joe's one-year "deadaversary" she'll stop her peculiar mourning. Does that mean that she'll quit practicing her invention of "coffin yoga" which means that every day she lies still as if she were dead while concentrating on her morbid thoughts? Will she stop writing unsettling quotes from rocker Patti Smith on her arm? Will she start writing her own words again? Or will her parents have to take more drastic measures than her current therapy?
Anna has no desire to reconnect with the world. She's always been acknowledged as an amazing writer and she's lived for her writing but since Joe died, she can't even consider putting words on paper. And that's a real problem because words – and their meanings – were her life. Then a strange note indicates that Joe may have had secrets he'd kept from her and Anna's grandfather has an accident and Anna must think beyond herself. That, of course, becomes the right time to give in to romance - again allowing Anna to see the world and its meaning through someone else's eyes.
This could have been a gloomy tale but it's a lively, yet intentionally thoughtful, story of Anna's growth and it's told in realistic, adolescent language. There's no dumbing down, just the truth as a word-loving teen would speak it. One reason everything works is that Bassett uses ingenious, yet fitting, devices to relate information. Anna's grandfather's origami paper cranes tell secrets and allow the reader to watch Anna unfold them.
Another wonderful aspect of this novel is that the characters in it reflect the real world especially the setting, a place similar to the author's hometown. At the
Words and Their Meanings
launch, I asked Bassett about her populating the novel with teens of different races and backgrounds not just the upper middle class white teens seen in most YA novels. She said that since she'd grown up in Saginaw, Michigan, she was writing what she knew. It shows in her writing and it enriches the book. Buy this book because it's a great read and will give thoughtful teens and adults much to ponder. As a bonus, buy this book because it reflects the real America not the "white washed" pretend America often seen in young adult and children's literature.
Summing it Up:
Words and Their Meanings
will appeal to teens that think, adults that love good writing combined with a strong story, and readers of every age that appreciate a strong voice.
Note: This paperback original is the perfect stocking stuffer for your favorite teen.

The Remedy for Love by Bill Roorbach
Wed, 10/01/2014 - 3:31pm
Eric, an upright lawyer, meets disheveled Danielle in the check-out line where she doesn't have enough money to pay for her groceries in the latest novel from critically acclaimed, yet relatively unknown, author Bill Roorbach.
"Idly, Eric watched her unload her cart: he knew her situation too well. Sooner or later she'd be in trouble, either victim or perpetrator, and sooner or later he or one of seven other local lawyers would be called upon to defend her, or whomever had hurt her, a distasteful task in a world in which no social problem was addressed till it was a disaster, no compensation. Ten years before, new at the game, he might have had some sympathy, but he'd been burned repeatedly."
Despite his lack of compassion, Eric reluctantly chips in for her oranges, carrots, cans of baked beans, tortilla chips, Pop-tarts, freshly ground coffee, two boxes of wine, a big bottle of Advil, six boxes of generic mac and cheese, and oodles of packages of ramen noodles and both leave the store.
"A huge snowstorm was predicted, first big snow of the season, the inaugural flakes desultorily falling, some kind of unusual confluence of low-pressure and high-pressure and rogue systems, lots of blather on the radio as if a little snow were nuclear warfare or an asteroid bearing down. Eric liked his old Ford Explorer at times like this, even though (as Alison always said) it was a gas pig. He put his groceries in the back, if you could call them groceries, and swung out and across the glazed lot – last week's ice storm – and there was the young woman, staggering and limping under that mountain of a coat but making determined progress, her seven plastic bags hanging from her arms like dead animals. Eric pulled up beside her but she didn't stop walking, didn't look.
"I can give you a lift," he called.
"Okay," she said to his surprise, still without looking. He'd expected her to demur in some proud way."
After driving over six miles Eric helps Danielle walk to a cabin at the end of a narrow, steep path aside a river -- a 30-minute trudge from the highway where Eric's Explorer gets towed while he's helping her. He returns to the cabin and the two end up snowbound.
Quickly Eric's check-out line prediction returned to this reader's mind and caused me to wonder if Danielle
a social problem that should have been addressed or if she's simply alone and isolated as Eric himself is even with all his resources. Eric wants to rescue Danielle yet she soon learns that he hasn't done all that well at rescuing himself and still hasn't admitted that his long separation from his wife is real and would probably soon become permanent.
As these two lonely people slowly reveal themselves while the storm rages, Roorbach is at his best sharing their stories in refreshingly unexpected ways. He conveys their secrets not as stark "ah-hahs" but as sighing, believable manifestations. His depictions aren't just plausible, they're funny. Eric and Danielle reminded me of Clark Gable and Claudette Colbert in "It Happened One Night," a movie that's a classic comedy because its humor both disarms and involves the viewer. Hapless, stranded Eric's and Danielle's sexual attraction is simultaneously erotic and witty and that, my friends, is a recipe for an endearing romance that's as appealing today as is the 1934 Oscar winner.
And the storm, oh the storm -- Roorbach's descriptions could serve as a textbook for aspiring writers as he artfully depicts the blizzard's torment:
"Outside the storm was howling, a different kind of snow altogether, curtains of it blowing, already drifted to knee-deep in sculpted ridges along the ground, coming so thick and furious it was as if legions of dump trucks were emptying their loads in his face, in the world's face, misery: the jostling wind, the river coursing black below."
"Something hit the roof with a thud. Then something else, and again, and then there was a roaring like unstopping surf and bigger, jostling thumps and then cracks like lightning straight above and something crashing toward them, rumbling louder and louder inside the howling, a tsunami approaching. Suddenly the cabin heaved on its moorings with a deep moan and squeal."
"Then silence, then odd sighs from the woodwork, then a creaking that turned into a growling, like a creature in the yard, something that wanted to get in."
"The wind had died down. The cabin had ceased its complaining."
This comedic, yet sultry, sexy romance of a tale complete with engrossingly real survival scenes and shimmering prose ultimately becomes an ode to life and love. That two unlikely specimens could stumble upon each other (and themselves) during the latest "storm of the century" is enough to make anyone believe in the power of love. This is definitely on the short list for the best book I've read this year.
Summing it Up: Roorbach weaves equal parts survival adventure, poignant romance, slapstick comedy, and brilliantly evoked nature scenes into a colorful tapestry that will entice the most cynical reader. It was tough for me to even think about doing anything
reading this in one sitting.
The Remedy for Love

In the Kingdom of Ice by Hampton Sides
Mon, 08/25/2014 - 4:23pm
Thirty-three men, 54,000 pounds of pemmican, 2,500 pounds of roast mutton, 3,000 pounds of stewed and corned beef, 3,000 pounds of salt pork, 100 pounds of tongue, 150 pounds of beef extract, a dozen barrels of concentrated lime juice to combat scurvy, barrels of brandy, porter, ale, sherry, whiskey, rum, and cases of Budweiser beer, "250 gallons of sperm oil, hundreds of pounds of tallow, thousands of wicks, and all manner of lamps – bull's eye lanterns, globe lanterns, bunker lanterns, hand lanterns," fifteen arc lights provided by Thomas Edison, two of Alexander Graham Bell's new telephones for over-the-ice communication, and a host of other necessities sailed from San Francisco toward the North Pole. Hampton Sides reveals their 1879 journey in this thrilling account. The men expected to enter a northern gulf stream that would create open waters after they broke through a "girdle" of ice pack north of the Bering Strait because that's what prevailing theory said would be there. Their ship, the
had three masts, a reinforced bow, and an extra steam engine but it was still essentially just a wooden ship heading into what we now know was a sea of ice. Still, they had the financial support of one of the world's wealthiest men and the scientific and engineering expertise of the U.S. Navy and some of the world's best minds. They also had a hand-picked crew that might make up for overly optimistic prognostications with incredible courage, skills, and downright decency. They were the darlings of the media especially since their benefactor, James Gordon Bennett, Jr., saw the voyage as a way to increase circulation of his newspapers as had his earlier folly in dispatching Stanley to find Livingston in Africa. Everyone in the world was following their expedition.
Using expedition leader Lt. George Washington De Long's own accounts along with logs and journals by the ship's doctor and others, Sides weaves an entertaining account of the preparations for the trek and of the harrowing encounters with ice, hunger, storms, and error-filled maps. This book is worth reading simply for the pleasure of learning about De Long, a leader, whose preparations, continuous reassessments, and careful trust in the right men to do their specific tasks could be used as a collegiate course in effective management skills.
While much of the world knew of this journey in 1879, we know very little about it and that makes this book read like a suspense-filled thriller. I am so grateful that I didn't know what eventually happened on the journey
so I was able to follow the ship's trek without any expectations. Some reviews give away the ending
Don't read them until after you read Sides' tale. His exceptional journalistic skills honed reporting for "Outside" magazine and writing about World War II rescues in his previous best seller,
Ghost Soldiers,
make this a thrilling page turner.
Summing it Up: Read this to learn about the expedition that attempted to find an open passage to the North Pole via the Bering Strait and the waters north of Alaska and Siberia in 1879. Savor it for the intimate view of the lives of the remarkable men who sailed on the

How do I change the colors of the map I created in fusion tables to represent population density?
Here's my approach for U.S. state data, current as of April 2014:
In short, get data into Google Fusion Tables, merge it with a publicly available file that has shape info for each state (or country, if that's your thing), and map it directly in Fusion Tables.
The colors can be customized under the Feature Map menu in the Fusion Tables map. You can either do a gradient map, or segment the colors by various groupings. The latter is probably more useful for density data, as with the standard gradient settings, most entities will appear to be the same color, because the distribution of population density tends to be skewed, with a few entities (e.g. DC) with very high values.

Explosive Arab Gives Himself UpSaturday, November 9th, 2013
On Saturday evening, an Arab from Shechem arrived at the Bikaot checkpoint. He told the soldiers he has 4 pipe bombs on him.
IDF demolition experts are working on disarming the bombs.
On Saturday evening, an Arab from Shechem arrived at the Bikaot checkpoint. He told the soldiers he has 4 pipe bombs on him.
IDF demolition experts are working on disarming the bombs.
Five IDF soldiers were injured last night at the start of the clash with Gaza.
A Golani unit was in the process of destroying the terror tunnel discovered on October 7 that led to the inside of Israeli Kibbutz Ein HaShlosha, when they were injured in an explosion. It is not yet clear if the explosion was from an explosive device or mortar fire.
Reportedly, the soldiers were 100 meters inside Gaza, working on destroying the part of the terror tunnel on the Gaza side of the fence.
The soldiers were evacuated to Soroka hospital in Be'er Sheva by helicopter. At least one was brought in, in serious condition, one in moderate, and the rest with lighter injuries.
The soldier who was seriously injured is Achiyah Klein (Achiyah ben Nira) of Kfar Etzion. Klein is an officer in the Yahalam combat engineering unit.
The IDF responded with tank fire, helicopter fire, and reportedly navy fire at Khan Yunis in Gaza.
Four Gazan terrorists were killed in the IDF response.
Recently, the IDF began reducing the forces placed within the Gaza border communities, saying that the situation is now safer along the Gaza border. On Thursday evening the IDF pulled out their last soldier stationed within the communities in Sha'ar HaNegev.
The Mossad gave an assessment this week, that as US pressured talks progress with the Palestinian Authority, Hamas will escalate their terror activities against Israel.
The IDF discovered a 1.5 mile long terror tunnel that led from Gaza to Kibbutz Ein Hashlosha. The tunnel was discovered on Wednesday, but the IDF censor only permitted publication of the find on Sunday.
The tunnel was a complex structure branching out in multiple directions,with multiple entry and egress points. It was laden with explosives and other surprises.
It is clear to the IDF that this tunnel was designed for kidnappings and a major terror attack.
The IDF has uncovered several tunnels leading from Gaza to nearby Jewish communities, over the past few years.
Recently, the IDF has begun a plan to reduce the military presence along the Gaza border as well as take away the armored vehicles belonging to the local town security units, based on, apparently incorrect assessments, that the threat level from Gaza has diminished.
A Gazan Arab was killed a few weeks ago as he tried to infiltrate into Israel across the fence.
Five Palestinian Authority Arabs have been arrested so far in the search for the killers of Shraya Ofer last night in the Jordan Valley terror attack.
At least two Arabs were involved in the terror attack.
They've been brought into interrogation by the Shabak.
A Jewish-owned car was shot at near the town of Emanuel in the Shomron. No one was injured in the attack.
An alert level was raised in the town in light of the shooting.
An IDF soldier was fired upon by Arab Terrorists and critically wounded in Hebron on Sunday evening.
Arab snipers fired on a military position, one soldier was hit in the neck and is in critical condition. The shooting was exactly where the baby, Shalhevet Pas, was killed years ago by an Arab sniper.
The soldier was airlifted to Hadassah Ein Karem hospital in Jerusalem.
The Hebron area is currently under complete lockdown and large security forces have gathered at the scene. Searches are underway for the attackers.
This attack takes place during the traditional Sukkot celebrations currently underway in Hebron.
Arabs through stones and a firebomb at cars driving on road 60, near the northern entrance to Efrat.
Earlier in the afternoon, Arabs through massive amounts of stones at cars at the El Hadr/Beitar junction.
No injuries were reported in either attack

I really like this and i don't mind the smell its kinda nice it was the same scent as the OLD clean makeup which had noxema in it so i'm thinking thats where the scent comes from. It does have shimmer in it but i'm very particular about shimmer and i can't see any noticeable shimmer on my face. It gives a really nice finish to my foundation and I usually use it as an all over powder as my "foundation" and i really enjoy it. Its a bit messy so i recommend it if your okay with loose power and if you can stand the smell of like baby powder and flowers combined.....
This does have a really strange odor. Its kind of indescribable. I've been using this since the beginning of high school (probably for about 7-ish years?) because my mom used it. I like it. I use it as a setting powder and I think it does the job well. I've never tried any other loose powder yet but I'm considering trying the E.L.F. high definition powder because it is said to the the Makeup Forever dupe. My sister used to use this and she didn't like because she said it felt heavy. I don't feel that way...I still use it almost everyday actually. I will most likely repurchase.

Loving this loose powder, I've been searching for a good loose powder since spring is coming and I can't afford to have heavy liquid on my face. Mine is in the shade translucent sable there don't seem to be many reviews on this shade for some reason. Yes the packaging is horrid and I can tell the lid will eventually break and the sifter needs work but I'm willing to work with it, also this color for some reason has shimmers in it that surprised me because I was expecting it to be matte for a product claiming to give a natural finish. Lastly, for others that are complaining of a medicine like smell, they must not read packaging because it plainly says that it has Noxzema ingredients. All in all, I love this stuff and makes my skin look wonderful. Go try it!

Love this powder i use it after my clinique superbalanced, and it give me a really natural finish!! the combination its perfect, im so happy because after 10 years trying to find something that i like.. i finally did it! i didnt know that CG ill give me this final touch.. PERFECT! love it, and i lov the smell!
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Fine and does the job. Smells like baby powder though. When used over my liquid foundation (or tined moisturizer on the good days) gives a nice matte finish. The smell surpasses after application. Powder puff included. I prefer this to pressed powders.
This is a really smelly powder. I wish CG would re-vamp it like they did their other products (keep it the same just take out the smell). I do think though that the smell eventually fades and everything's fine. It's a fantastic setting powder but it still has a pink undertone. I have since switched setting powders (to WNW's finishing veil).
I bought this when rite aid had a sale. I decided to give it try since it was on sale. I got 115 and its pretty good. I like to set my makeup and its light not too thick or chalky. it does have a weird smell to it. I dont like to use the applicator they give you though. I use my own flat mineral powder brush.
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I used it alone til last December cuz I didn't need much coverage. I had this in Translucent Medium 115. It did a great job at keeping my face shine-free for up to 6 hrs. HOWEVER!!!! It broke me out like CRAZY! I got under-skin as well as gross fat zits one my forehead within a couple months. Also, it settled over my concealer (Fresh Complexion in Creamy Natural 620) and my under-eye area looked crepey. Plus the application was messy.
I switched over to Fresh Complexion Pressed Powder in Creamy Natural&am very happy to say that my skin's clearing up.
I love this to set my foundation with. I used it alot last summer, and I recently found it in my closet with some other makeup, and I am definitley using this again. It sets my foundation so nice, and gives a little coverage as well. Keeps oilies at bay. I wear 115 and if I run out, I will buy again. It is so affordable! The smell isnt bad either.
I love this and I have bought countless packages of this stuff! I've been setting my foundation with it for years! It is cheap enough (I go through powder in about 6 weeks) and the color is light enough (105) and matches my yellow-toned skin very well. I don't mind the scent. I guess I'm just used to it. I don't use the puff, but a powder brush, which I think does a better job anyway. Over all, this is a great setting powder for a great price!

Rays name three finalists for manager job, including Raul IbanezMike Oz at Big League Stew 1 day ago
There's one open manager job in Major League Baseball, it belongs to the Tampa Bay Rays and it seems like they're running their job search like a reality TV show.
The Rays announced their final three finalists Friday — Kevin Cash, the bullpen coach of the Cleveland Indians, Don Wakamatsu, the bench coach of the Kansas City Royals and player Raul Ibanez, who isn't yet retired and last played for the Royals.
That is pared down from 10 candidates that the Rays announced on Nov. 6. Most notably absent from the finalist list is Dave Martinez, who many considered the favorite for the job after serving as the Rays' bench coach under Joe Maddon since 2008.
The Rays put together these bio cards for each finalist. See what we mean about a reality show.

There won't be a public vote, like most reality TV competitions. Not that we've heard, at least.
MLB isn't making any major changes to its video replay system
If you hate the video replay system MLB put in place last season and want to heave it out of a window, well, too bad.
There aren't any major changes coming to the replay system, commissioner-elect Rob Manfred told reporters.
MLB will tweak the system, but not overhaul it in any substantial way. From the sound of things, the tweaks are mostly behind-the-scenes, things the average fan might not have even noticed. From the New York Post:
"I think the core of replay is going to be similar," Manfred said. "I think the changes that we're contemplating are largely technology, cameras, things like that. There are some issues related to exactly how long it takes to get the replay going that we're looking at."
There's one other tweak that Manfred didn't talk about it and it's a good one. Joe Torre, MLB's executive vice president of baseball operations, told reporters last week that they won't allow managers to stall the game while figuring out whether to challenge.

Why Yankees GM Brian Cashman spent the night on the street
Temperatures hit an overnight low of 27 degrees in New York City on Thursday, so Yankees general manager Brian Cashman bundled up in layers, put a beanie over his head and tried his best to stay warm. If Cashman were lucky, he might just get a couple hours of sleep — though the solid concrete under his body would make that tough.
For Cashman, this was one night. For some people, this is life. Every day.
So Cashman spent his night helping out in an unusual way. He was one of hundreds of executives nationwide who participated in the annual "Sleep Out" organized by Covenant House, sleeping on the streets of Manhattan as if he were homeless. Covenant House is a non-profit that manages shelters for homeless youth in 21 cities across the country. Last year, it helped more than 57,000 kids.
Your browser does not support iframes.
Cashman told MLB.com that $1.6 million was raised in New York on Thursday, a big chunk of about $5 million raised nationally.

Oscar Taveras' family uses his Twitter to share fan tributes
The family of St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Oscar Taveras, who died last month at age 22 in a car accident in the Dominican Republic, has started using his Twitter account as a digital memorial.
On Thursday night, an unidentified family member told the public that Taveras' account would be used to share fan tributes that had been sent to them.
The family simply wished to offer its thanks, they said. For the rest of us, it's an interesting look at how fans mourn a dead ballplayer — particularly one who didn't have a long MLB career, but created a very memorable moment for Cardinals fans.
This is how Taveras' family started it off:

Dodgers get reliever Joel Peralta in four-player trade with Rays
The Los Angeles Dodgers, who have spent the last year trying to build a stable bullpen, went out and acquired a relief pitcher Thursday that new boss Andrew Friedman knows well.
Joel Peralta, the veteran right-hander, is joining the Dodgers after being shipped across the country in a four-player trade with the Tampa Bay Rays. Friedman, who became the Dodgers' president of baseball operations in October, was the GM of the Rays all four years Peralta played there.
Dylan Hernandez of the Los Angeles Times sizes up the particulars on Peralta:
Peralta, who turns 39 in March, has pitched in 69 or more games in each of the last four seasons. He led the major leagues with 80 appearances in 2013, when he posted a 3.71 earned-run average. Peralta is under contract next year for $2.5 million. His deal includes $2.5-million team options for 2016 and 2017.
In return, the Rays get two pitchers too: Jose Dominguez, who can pump the radar gun up to 103 mph but has a 6.14 career ERA in 14 appearances, and Greg Harris, a 20-year-old who pitched in Single-A in 2014.
The Red Sox will look brilliant if they can lure back Jon Lester
It always seemed like such a novel idea: If you're a team not in contention and you have a star who's going to be a free agent after the season but wants to stay, why not trade him and then sign him again a few months later?
You get a prize in return at the sacrifice of a few meaningless months. What's there to lose? The two sides shake hands, agree this is only temporary and plan for better things in the following year.
It's devious, somewhat conniving and glorious on a "House of Cards" sort of level.
That's not exactly what's happening with the Boston Red Sox and Jon Lester, there's a little more nuance than that. But the Red Sox are in the rare situation where they could re-sign their traded-away star and put him in the same lineup as the guy they got in return, outfielder Yoenis Cespedes.
Was he really that upset with the Red Sox? Or was the whole thing blown out of proportion?

Brace yourself for Guy Fieri's mullet at a 2000 Giants game
Hey @gewqk were you diggin through my family photos? #tbt to 2000 watchin the @SFGiants pic.twitter.com/jhppB51Rs5
Guy Fieri turned Throwback Thursday into Party-in-the-Back Thursday by sharing a picture of his mulleted self at a San Francisco Giants game in 2000.
It figures that Fieri, the prolific Food Network host, once had a mullet. It makes perfect sense, actually. We'd just never imagined it before.
Alternate versions of Guy Fieri's hair are a hot topic on the Internet this week. Buzzfeed posted an image of what Fieri might look like with a different hairdo and it attacked trending-topic lists far and wide.
By 2030, he might even catch up with current trends.

Jose Canseco lied to us all about his finger falling off
Like many things on the Internet, some of what shows up on Jose Canseco's Twitter feed is too good to be true.
A perfect example is that made-to-grab-headlines moment last week when Canseco said his reattached finger fell off during a poker tournament.
Turns out Canseco made it up. It was a hoax, he admitted to TMZ Sports, inspired by Halloween. Canseco shooting off his finger isn't a hoax — at least as far as we know. But that odd Chapter Two, when it supposedly fell off and was caught on camera? Never happened.
Per TMZ Sports:
Canseco had Tweeted a picture of his detached finger, but he's since deleted it. And he's been quiet on Twitter for almost a day. You gotta figure he's up to something.
Keith Olbermann says Giancarlo Stanton's contract is a scamMike Oz at Big League Stew 3 days ago
"Another Marlins scam."
In no uncertain terms, ESPN commentator and noted baseball fan Keith Olbermann gave us his opinion on Giancarlo Stanton's new $325 million mega contract with the Miami Marlins. It's another of Olbermann's scathing sports rants, which are always fun, and this time he's throwing haymakers at one of baseball's top punching bags — Marlins owner Jeffrey Loria.
There's no shortage of skepticism about Loria and the Marlins, given their history of promising better days ahead and then fire-selling at the first glimpse of trouble. Yahoo Sports' Tim Brown and Jeff Passan have each written columns in the past week wary of Stanton's commitment to the Marlins. Brown says the contract is a one-man trust fall. Passan writes that Stanton's playing a dangerous game by trusting Loria.

MLB owners give new commish Rob Manfred a five-year contractMike Oz at Big League Stew 3 days ago
The Rob Manfred era is almost upon us, and MLB owners agreed Thursday that the league's new commissioner will get a five-year contract as he begins his job.
Manfred takes over for Bud Selig on Jan. 25, but before that happens there was a little issue of his contract, which was decided at the two-day owners' meetings in Kansas City, Mo.
Manfred's five-year contract — two more than the minimum three-year deal a commissioner can get — was unanimously approved.
His contract vote was handled "quickly and quietly," according to Eric Fisher of Sports Business Journal. That's in contrast to Manfred's election, which took longer and was more contentious, as a segment of owners led by Jerry Reinsdorf of the Chicago White Sox didn't back Manfred. He received the exact number of votes needed for the job: 23.

Ocean News: Barbuda Becomes Ocean Conservation Leader in the Caribbean, July Ocean Temperatures Hit Record Highs, and More
- Scientists say that seagrass habitat is being lost at the same rate as Amazon rain forests, or about two soccer fields per hour. The scientists warn that this is key habitat for many young fish, so the loss of seagrass could have a huge impact on fisheries. BBC
- According to a report released yesterday, this July's average ocean temperature tied with July 2009 for being the hottest on record. Ocean surface temperatures averaged at 62.56 degrees Fahrenheit last month, about 1.06 degrees above the 20th-century average. The Hill
- The small Caribbean island of Barbuda is taking big steps for the oceans: Earlier this month, they signed a sweeping new set of laws, including establishing a network of marine sanctuaries and strengthening fisheries management. With the new regulations protecting 33 percent of Barbuda's coast, the move has put them on the map as leaders of ocean conservation in the Caribbean. National Geographic
Long Read:
- The impacts of ocean acidification are still just becoming understood, but one group that's one of the front lines of these changes are Native tribes in Washington. These tribes rely on shellfish, including clams, lobster, and scallops, yet harvests are declining each year. Indian Country Today
- This op-ed explores how the Obama administration's approval of seismic airgun blasting is wrong for South Carolina, and how the "news should be more than a little troublesome." The author sites the palmetto state's thriving coastal tourism economy and pristine ecosystmes like wetlands and estuaries as to why offshore drilling isn't worth the risk. The Post and Courier

A gathering therefore investigates how identities are treated and (re)defined at a time when the media are playing provocatively with national symbols and stereotypes. Greece, then, is a starting point, a paradigm; a spring board for a representation of the labyrinthian processes of memory and their production of meaning. The meaning of place then, questioned, redefined, fragmented into a series of autonomous worlds.

A Gathering At Peiraios 260
A series of both Greek and international artists have been asked to produce a response in the form of a poster to some sort of lived experience or imaginary association they might have of Greece. This association could be completely personal, or public, political, abstract or representative, clearly linked to some defining memory of a conversation, an image, an event, an emotion, or even a place discovered haphazardly from research.
