Buster Olney: Los Angeles Dodgers
Andrew Friedman's to-do list with Dodgers
Here is Friedman's partial to-do list:
1. Work out a deal with his former team, the Tampa Bay Rays, and hire manager Joe Maddon
Dodgers officials made it clear Tuesday that Don Mattingly is their manager, with two years remaining on his contract. Maddon, who has one year left on his contract, is saying all the right things about not wanting to leave Tampa Bay. But what needs to happen next is for Rays owner Stuart Sternberg to sit down with Maddon -- like, today -- and ask him: Will you commit to the Rays with a long-term extension?
Can Andrew Friedman thrive in L.A.?
L.A. has seen Andrew Friedman's story before. In the movies.
Friedman, the longtime general manager of the Tampa Bay Rays, is the equivalent of the indie film producer who has done masterpieces, the talk of Sundance, of Cannes, work that hardened reviewers love.

Dodgers' rush to win has created issues
The Dodgers were sold 2½ years ago and their club operation has been in hyper-drive since then, as the organization worked to do everything at once: rebuild the roster and the farm system, rebuild the organization's star power, restore the faith of a dormant fan base, rebuild interest and win.
For the most part, they've been successful in doing all of that. The franchise has been rebuilt as a power, they've filled Dodger Stadium, their farm system has improved dramatically and they've made the playoffs the past two seasons.
There are problems, unquestionably, and inefficiencies and waste along the way.

10 crucial matchups in the ALCS, NLCS
1. The Orioles vs. the Kansas City running game: This is like a steel-cage match within the main event. The Royals have run aggressively in the postseason, with 12 stolen bases in 13 attempts, including seven in their wild-card game against Oakland. Terrance Gore and Jarrod Dyson are setting new standards for brazenness.
But the Orioles are excellent at controlling the running game, and with the layoff before the start of the ALCS on Friday, you can bet O's manager Buck Showalter and his staff are preparing for the Royals' roadrunners. They already have some great countermeasures in place, such as:
• Chris Tillman: Nobody steals against him because he delivers his pitches to the plate so quickly. Opponents have tried to steal 13 times on him over the past two years and have been successful twice. To repeat, that's two steals in 13 attempts.
• Caleb Joseph: The catcher has a great arm, and during the season he threw out 23 of 57 baserunners.
• Wei-Yin Chen: He has allowed just nine steals (in 13 tries) over the past two years.
The Royals' best chances may come against the Baltimore bullpen, using Gore and Dyson. Teams try to run on Darren O'Day because of his unconventional delivery (10 steals in 15 attempts over the past two seasons), and there have been only six attempts over the past two years against Andrew Miller (with four steals).
No team stole more bases than the Royals did during the regular season, while only seven teams allowed fewer steals than Baltimore.

My awards voting, playoff notes and more
Victor Martinez's season is over, and maybe his time with the Tigers is finished as well. Russell Martin got a standing ovation in the last inning of the wild-card game last week as the Pirates' season waned to a close, and the fans chanted his name, but nobody knows if he'll be back.
Both will be highly coveted this winter, and with multiple suitors, and while the Tigers and Pirates are expected to pursue their respective veterans, the bidding could be extraordinary.
Martinez is coming off a season in which he was arguably the best pure hitter in the majors, batting .335 with 32 homers, 103 RBIs, 70 walks and 42 strikeouts. Nobody had a greater ratio of walks to strikeouts, and it wasn't even close. Martinez will turn 36 in December and will be viewed as a DH-only player by some teams, at a time when the industry generally is veering away from full-time DHs.

No perfect time to pull a starting pitcher
On one day, Los Angeles Dodgers manager Don Mattingly was criticized for leaving Clayton Kershaw in the game too long, and the next day, he was questioned about perhaps pulling Zack Greinke too soon.
Ned Yost called for relief for James Shields after 88 pitches and would've never been forgiven by the Kansas City fan base if the Royals hadn't come back to win their wild-card game against Oakland. On Saturday, Matt Williams may have unwittingly contributed to the list of longest games in history by removing Jordan Zimmermann after just 100 pitches and a stretch in which he retired 20 of 21 batters.
Generally, there are a few things are at play here

Donaldson trade looming in A's overhaul
This is what lies before the Oakland Athletics, whose wild-card game loss to the Kansas City Royals Tuesday night was a microcosm of their season -- the great start, the enormous lead right in the middle, the collapse, the late revival, and then a finish that will forever haunt them.

Bochy staying positive amid Giants slump
At that moment, it was possible that for only the second time in baseball history, the winning and losing team in the same game would clinch. If the Brewers lost Wednesday and the Dodgers beat the Giants for the NL West title, San Francisco would still have wrapped up a playoff spot. Given Kershaw's lifetime 1.44 ERA against the Giants, this scenario obviously was very possible.
Bochy had watched a lot of this same group of players win the World Series in 2010 and 2012, and on one hand, the notion of donning goggles and spraying champagne right after a loss to the Dodgers might've seemed odd, and maybe a little beneath them.
But Bochy had also seen this group of players journey through a long and difficult season, recovering after the All-Star break after squandering a huge lead in June, playing through injuries to Angel Pagan and Mike Morse. When the season ends, 20 teams will go home, and if the Giants had earned the right to go to the playoffs, Bochy decided, this was something worth celebrating. No matter whether the Giants won or lost Wednesday, they had earned the right to feel good about themselves given the work they had put in over the long spring training and the six-month season.
So win or lose Wednesday, Bochy had given the go-ahead for the champagne to be sprayed in the modest visitors' clubhouse, and why not, given the circumstances? The Giants are limping toward the playoffs, after a lost weekend in San Diego, after learning that Pagan will miss the rest of the season. A celebration might've reminded this group of players just how far they've come, and what's possible moving forward.
In the end, Bochy's deliberations didn't matter. The Brewers won, staying alive in the race, so the only way the Giants would have doused each other Wednesday night would happen if they beat Kershaw, which, even in May, might've earned them a parade, given his dominance. But it was not to be: Kershaw held the Giants to a run over eight innings, lowering his ERA to 1.77, increasing his strikeouts to a staggering 239, improving his final record to 21-3, and he mashed the first triple of his career.
After Tim Hudson departed, the Giants utterly collapsed into a morass of walks and defensive mistakes, and the bottom of the eighth inning lasted more than a half-hour, with a sold-out Dodger Stadium crowd preparing to celebrate.

Stats versus strengths for Kershaw
Almost exactly two hours before he takes the mound every fifth day, Clayton Kershaw lays out the precise game plan he intends to use for each hitter in the opposing starting lineup.
Pitching coach Rick Honeycutt and I sit on each side of a training room table as Kersh runs through the batters. Honey and I always come to those meetings armed with information on the tendencies of our opponents: We not only look at what they have done against left-handed pitchers both recently and historically, but how they've approached at-bats against our ace specifically.
To fully prepare for his start, Kersh studies the scouting reports we print out prior to each series, and then he goes back and finds the two pitchers most similar to himself, such as Madison Bumgarner and Cole Hamels, and watches their starts versus the given opponent in their entirety. Although Honey and I have done the work and are prepared, Kersh leads the meeting. We try to help by offering up small tidbits on a particular hitter's strengths and weaknesses, and by filling him in on any personal history that stands out. Kershaw's tone is always serious. He keeps the conversation brisk. It's now my job to remember his plan of attack and call pitches accordingly.
In the three years I have been humbled to catch Kersh, I've learned to keep my mouth shut and not offer up information that goes against his typical arsenal of pitches. Even though the stats may lead me in a different direction, we are both keenly aware that his strengths are what separate him from the rest. Except for when we forget.
Interleague play usually takes away the most valuable tool of setting any game plan: data on head-to-head matchups. In the recent Freeway Series with the Angels, Kersh and I both fell victim to this trap. Kershaw hadn't faced the Angels since 2011, and had a limited history with the majority of the Halos. It's no secret across baseball that Kersh loves to pound right-handed hitters inside. His combination of angle, deception and command make it extremely hard to square up an executed fastball on the inside corner.
The trouble is the Angels have a bunch of great hitters who feast on pitches on the inner half. So in our pregame meeting, we decided to scrap Kersh's strength and try to work the outer half of the plate toward those hitters' statistical weaknesses. Three innings and three earned runs later, we both realized we compromised our typical game plan in favor of the numbers our computer spewed out regarding hitters' results versus left-handed pitchers who probably do not own two Cy Young Awards or pitch with the will and ferocity Kersh does.
Realizing the error of our ways, we went back to what Kersh does well, and he cruised the rest of the way. After giving up seven hits and striking out just one batter in his first three innings because of our dumb game plan, Kersh allowed no hits and struck out six in his final four frames. Lesson learned.
As a catcher who loves the cerebral side of this great game, I enjoy the patchwork process of preparing a series for each pitcher on his start date. Detroit Tigers manager Brad Ausmus set the example in his two years as a catcher with the Dodgers for exactly what I need to do. To avoid information overload, Brad taught me to run through this checklist:
1. How aggressive is the hitter on the first pitch?
2. Does that change with runners in scoring position?
3. Where exactly does the hitter do his damage?
4. On what types of pitches?
5. In or away?
6. Ahead in the count only?
7. What are the hitter's two-strike chase zones on both fastballs and off-speed pitches?
Zack studies the two-strike chase zone numbers intently. With the arsenal of pitches at his disposal combined with his ability to locate, he relentlessly attacks these zones with two strikes.
All of this information is vital to Honey and I as we try to determine a way to get major league hitters out. I mention Honey again because I must admit that I'm unable to memorize all of these figures as the game and series progress, so I rely on him to give me his notes mid-game. His help is invaluable.
But at the end of the day the question ultimately comes to this, as it did with Kersh versus the Angels: Am I going to rely on a set of numbers, or on my pitcher's strengths? Just because a hitter can do damage against a left-hander's slider in general doesn't mean I'm not calling Kersh's slider. If a hitter has great numbers against split-fingered fastballs, I am still going to work in Dan Haren's split. I've learned there has to be a marriage of stats and strengths. I try to find that balance every time I throw a sign down.
As the game progresses and relief pitchers trot in, the focus always seems to trend toward strengths. Most relievers don't offer up a big variety of options in their repertoire, but they make it up for it with the velocity and movement of the pitches that they do throw. These last few crucial innings of a game usually turn into a battle of my best against your best. We don't overthink it. Even if the best fastball hitter in the game is in the box with the game on the line. I'm still going to call for Kenley Jansen to throw his invisible fastball right by him. Those moments are what makes baseball so great.
The caveat in all of this is how fortunate I am to be on the receiving end of this incredible pitching staff. All of my starters have the ability to be creative and adapt from start to start. They can all locate multiple pitches, which affords me the ability to match up their strengths with the stats. Their strengths also change and can be adjusted as a particular game goes on. This speaks to the athleticism and pitch-making ability these starters have.
The relief corps is a collection of seasoned veterans who have each battled through every possible scenario. They each possess put-away weapons for all types of hitters. But when it comes down to it, and the bases are loaded with two out and it's time to make a pitch, be assured the batting averages, slugging percentage and hard-hit stat rates are all pushed aside, as my teammate on the mound shuts out all the noise and sticks with his strength.

Time for Dodgers to shake things up
This is how, in 1988, they wound up with 33-year-old Claudell Washington playing center field, flanked by Dave Winfield and Rickey Henderson, with Jack Clark serving as the DH. Rafael Santana was at shortstop, and a young outfielder named Jay Buhner was swapped in a deal for 33-year-old Ken Phelps. The veterans were all good players -- Winfield and Henderson were future Hall of Famers -- but there wasn't a true center fielder, and they really weren't a good match, as their defensive abilities were merely a secondary consideration. The Yankees went 85-76 and finished fifth in the AL East.
Mattingly's current Dodgers team should be better than that because they have much better pitching, with Zack Greinke, Clayton Kershaw, Hyun-Jin Ryu, Josh Beckett, etc., etc. They also have one of the best young players in the sport in the ever-improving Yasiel Puig.
But they don't fit.

Puig transforming into model of stability
It says something about how far Yasiel Puig has come in his development that as June begins, he has become the model of stability within this organization. Every day, he arrives and asks questions, and every day, he seems to get better and better, steadily eroding the mountain of mistakes that he used to make.
"If you see him play every day," said Dodgers general manager Ned Colletti, "he's gone up a notch. We needed him to be a little more refined, to make an adjustment."
He's done that. Which is what all the other Dodgers wanted from him: to stop making the same mistakes over and over and over.
Oh sure, it's very possible that when you watch the Dodgers play the Pittsburgh Pirates on "Sunday Night Baseball" (8 ET on ESPN and WatchESPN), Puig could make a baserunning mistake, and yes, he could overthrow a cut-off man. But it is apparent to the other players on the team that Puig, who moved at hyperdrive speed in everything when he arrived, is slowing the game down.
Puig's plate discipline has improved dramatically, as shown by the numbers from FanGraphs. The percentage of pitches outside the strike zone at which he has swung has plummeted from 38.9 percent in 2013 to 27.8 percent this season. The percentage of pitches inside the zone at which he has swung has dropped from 79.6 percent to 71.2 percent, which speaks to his selectivity. Overall, he has swung at 45.4 percent of pitches, after swinging at 54.4 percent last year.
Last season, Puig racked up 97 strikeouts and 36 walks. This year, that ratio has changed significantly: He's got 43 strikeouts and 26 walks, and he's on track to accumulate 74 walks this season, which is pretty remarkable for such an aggressive player in his first full season. He's hitting .340, and is on track for 80 extra-base hits.
The other Dodgers say he is much more open to suggestions, to constructive criticism, than he was when he first arrived.

Hanley Ramirez has pitchers figured out
"None," he said Saturday as he waited his turn in batting practice.
He does not care to know the identity of the opponent's starting pitcher, Ramirez said, until he is preparing for his first at-bat -- and even then, as he watches the pitcher throw to the first batters of the game, what Ramirez only wants to know is how hard the pitcher is throwing, and how much his fastball moves.

Clayton Kershaw's uncertain timeline
But he can't really throw the way he needs to, can't really cut loose, because of a problem with the teres major muscle in his back. So Kershaw -- who was placed on the disabled list Saturday -- decided to simulate the physical exertion required in a start. Early in the afternoon, he ran sprints across left field in Petco Park, one after another, 25 in all; he held a stopwatch, to aid in the timing of his work.
But by 1 p.m. -- four hours before the scheduled first pitch -- a lot of the heavy lifting of his day was over. All he can do is work and heal and wait and root for his teammates, because he cannot pitch right now and there is much uncertainty about when he will pitch again.
"Whatever it is, we're going to take the time to get it right," Dodgers manager Don Mattingly said.
Andrew Cashner, who started against the Dodgers on Sunday night, suffered an injury similar to Kershaw's two years ago and missed two months. Jurickson Profar, the Rangers second baseman, also has been dealing with the same sort of problem that ails Kershaw, and he will miss a lot of the first half of this season.
Those timelines don't necessarily apply to Kershaw, but

What could derail the Dodgers?
Those facts are understandable. When you attend a Dodgers workout, it's like watching batting practice the day before the All-Star Game, with big names all over the place. Heck, even their coaches -- Don Mattingly, Davey Lopes, Mark McGwire, John Valentin, Tim Wallach and Rick Honeycutt -- are former stars.
The Dodgers have baseball's highest payroll, and so for the first time in 15 years, some team other than the New York Yankees will have that title. The Yankees can testify to the Dodgers that this is the blessing and the curse of having a high payroll, and L.A.'s payroll dwarfs that of its division rivals:
Los Angeles: $235 million
San Francisco: $154 million
Arizona: $112 million
Colorado: $95 million
San Diego: $90 million
The Diamondbacks and Padres stretched their payrolls this year in their effort to break into the postseason, and yet both teams will spend less than half of what the Dodgers will spend. And presumably, the Dodgers will have more room for in-season growth in deals than any of the other NL West teams.
I voted with the majority: I picked the Dodgers to win the NL West because their talent reflects their payroll; they are absolutely stacked. Their pitching staff is the deepest in the National League, with a bunch of former closers serving as setup men for Kenley Jansen at top dollar. As soon as Matt Kemp returns, Mattingly will have to decide which of his four star outfielders he will have to bench out of Yasiel Puig, Kemp, Andre Ethier and Carl Crawford.
But let's try to imagine the plausible scenarios in which the Dodgers don't win the NL West.
1. Hanley Ramirez and/or Clayton Kershaw are greatly limited by injury
Kershaw will start the season on the disabled list, but the Dodgers don't believe his injury is serious. Ramirez is healthy, which is a good thing, because the Dodgers are much less of a team when he's not on the field, as we saw last season. As he's gotten older and has missed a lot of games:
Games missed by Hanley Ramirez
2010: 20
2011: 70
2012: 5
2013: 76
The Dodgers could lose any of their four outfielders and they would probably be fine, given their depth at that position. They have good defensive catchers behind A.J. Ellis. They would miss Adrian Gonzalez, but have some alternatives.
But if Ramirez goes down, it's a huge problem for the Dodgers, who are thin in middle infielders. If Kershaw goes down, well, it'd be like the 1962 to '66 Dodgers losing Sandy Koufax.

Yasiel Puig issues are no myth
Myth No. 1: Controversy swirls around Yasiel Puig because a stodgy media picks on him.
The reality: Controversy swirls around Puig because the media's coverage of him reflects the internal view of a whole lot of folks in the Dodgers organization, and that view is that the right fielder makes too many mistakes.
The team loves his energy, loves his talent and -- at the same time -- there is a growing exasperation among some teammates and members of the front office and staff that he makes the same mistakes over and over again, whether it be in his punctuality or with baserunning. No one is out to get him; no one is trying to repress him; no one is trying to make him look bad. They just want him to take care of business.
As Ramona Shelburne writes, Don Mattingly held a team meeting Tuesday to clear the air with Puig, to wipe the slate clean. Mattingly wouldn't do this if he only thought that a couple of sports writers were being unfair.
And while Mattingly retreated from his comments made in Australia in the past couple of days, it's worth remembering that he played his entire career in New York and dealt with the media a whole lot. He understands how to get a message across through reporters. He made his concerns known with sarcasm -- which, again, reflect the concerns of a whole lot of other folks with the Dodgers who aren't going on the record. In the past week, Mattingly has played both the good cop and bad cop roles, perhaps because some of his players (particularly those who speak only English) aren't comfortable telling Puig directly how they feel. This is what the team meeting was for -- to create an open forum. It's a great sign that Puig welcomed the feedback in the way he did.
If he makes the changes some of his teammates want him to make, they'll respect him like crazy for that. If he doesn't, the exasperation will grow.
Myth No. 2: The players' association has been forced into concessions to make the drug-testing penalties tougher.
The reality: The union

There have been many books written on the murder of six-year-old JonBenét Ramsey, some exploitative, some wildly speculative, some self-serving, some serious in intention and some plain stupid. But the clearest, most compassionate and most level-headed is JonBenét: Inside the Ramsey Murder Investigation, by Steve Thomas, the leading detective on the case. Thomas's own inclinations are clear: He believes that Patsy Ramsey killed her daughter in a fit of rage after a bed-wetting incident. Since the release of his book, Thomas has come under intense attack, not only from the Ramseys, but from office of Boulder DA Alex Hunter and the Boulder Daily Camera. He has been branded a bitter, irrational man, an incompetent cop and a money-hungry publicity-seeker. Yet in this flurry of ad hominem recrimination, Thomas's facts have been neither addressed nor disproved. This book may bring us as close as we'll ever come to understanding the murder of JonBenét.

As a plumber who has decided to branch out and open your own business, you are probably wondering how to go about doing exactly that. There are so many different forums out there that offer all kinds of advice on plumbing, small businesses, and everything in between, and it can be really confusing to try and sort through all of that to get to what you really need to know about starting your new plumbing business. Luckily we have consolidated the most helpful hints from the professionals and experts right here, so you do not have to look any further. Here are the most important and basic steps towards starting your own successful plumbing business.
- Know your market and your competition. You have probably already been working in this market in some capacity or another and recognized that there is an opportunity and that is how you decided to go out on your own and start a new company. Knowing who your competitors are and what services they offer, as well as their pricing, will help you figure out how to price yourself to stay competitive and what services you will need to offer to stay competitive.
- Do your homework. Write up a detailed business plan that includes a variety of scenarios such as trouble getting a loan, higher interest rates than anticipated, rising costs of equipment, and so on. Make sure you plan for the unexpected and account for it when writing up your business plan. Your lenders are going to want to see how you have prepared for your new business from start to finish. Do not forget to include marketing and staffing costs, as well as any legal or licensing fees you might have to pay to get the business started.
- Hire the right marketing and advertising firm. Plumber Marketing Gurus can help you with all of the different needs you are going to have when starting your business. One of the first steps you are going to want to take is to develop a new website, and they are experts in plumbing website design so you do not have to be. If you had to be a graphic designer and a plumber at the same time, it simply would not work. Leave the marketing to the professionals, and allow them to use their well developed techniques such as SEO for plumbers to help make sure that your new business and new website will be getting the traffic it deserves. Traffic turns into clients, and clients are what turn into money to keep your business running.
- Spread the word. Use your friends, family, and newly minted online presence and social media profiles – in partnership with Plumber Marketing Gurus – to help encourage your friends and family to share your business with their colleagues. Offer discounts for referrals, and encourage new clients to hire you with an initial discount as well. Do not undercut your prices so much that you would be losing business, but sometimes you have to take a little bit of a hit initially in order to gain a solid client base.

Opening weekend is a time for renewed hope, reordered batting lineups, and refreshing scents of glorious gunpowder in the sky. Catch the Flyers on May 28 for post-game fireworks after the hometown bats light up the Gary SouthShore RailCats, or pay homage to babies named Ruth as you run the bases with the kids on Family Day May 30. On May 31, remix Memorial Day grill-outs by downing two dogs off the bat, and score dollar dogs throughout game. Armed with a starter kit of ballpark eats and ballgame spheres, show the youngsters how to properly grip a fastball, a frank, and a cardboard sign that irrefutably proves fanmanship.
As the Plainfield community has grown, so has its park district. Although the district was established in 1966, a population boom in the early '90s led to more diversified facilities, each one with different features. The Ottawa Street Pool, for example, invites visitors to bask in 200,000 gallons of crystal-blue water with diving boards and lap lanes, while the Normantown Trails Equestrian Center offers horseback-riding lessons and neighing tutorials in an indoor arena.

By Rick Warren
— May 21, 2014
God gave Jesus to die for our sins, and he raised him to life, so that we would be made acceptable to God (Romans 4:25 CEV).
" It is Christ's goodness in you that makes you acceptable. You're not perfect, but he is. "
Jesus' death and resurrection make us acceptable to God.
Would you be surprised to know that most people do not accept themselves? I've been a pastor now for over 30 years and I've talked to tens of thousands of people, and I've found that most people really don't like themselves inside. They wish they were different. They wish they looked different. They wish they acted different.
We don't accept ourselves and so we spend our lives trying to find acceptance among other people; but even more important than being accepted by other people is being accepted by God. That's a problem. Why? Because God is perfect and you're not. And neither am I.
God lives in a perfect place called heaven, so God has a problem. How does he get imperfect people into a perfect place where he is perfect? (Because, obviously, if he allowed imperfect people in a perfect place it wouldn't be perfect anymore.) God has to come up with a plan for imperfect people to be able to live in a perfect place.
God's plan is what I call "The Great Exchange."
The Bible says, "God took the sinless Christ and poured into him our sins. Then, in exchange, he poured God's goodness into us!" (2 Corinthians 5:21 LB).
I don't know how to make it any clearer than to say it like this: You're never going to be good enough to get into heaven because it's perfect and you stopped being perfect a long time ago. It is Christ's goodness in you that makes you acceptable. You're not perfect, but he is. So God says, "We'll do an exchange here. Jesus will take your sins and you get my goodness in your life." That's quite a deal!
A lot of people feel trapped by their past. They say, "If you knew what I've done, you'd know I'd never be acceptable to God." I don't know what you've done, but God does and he still accepts you: "God says he will accept us and acquit us—declare us 'not guilty'—if we trust Jesus Christ to take away our sins. And we all can be saved in this same way, by coming to Christ, no matter who we are or what we have been like" (Romans 3:22 LB).
Do you ever feel tired, drained or "beat-up" and just don't know why? That's because every day you're fighting an unseen spiritual war. You can't see it, but its effects are very real. In his 7 session Study Kit "The Invisible War: Winning the Battle of Temptation," Pastor Rick will teach you how to overcome the three predictable types of temptations that Satan uses to entice and defeat you: Passion, Possession, and Position.
Why is everything in life so hard? Why does doing the right thing often feel like a battle? In this new series, Pastor Rick shares insights from God's Word about the unseen spiritual forces working against us; the invisible war between good and evil. This series will help you win the battle within.

Civil rights leader the Rev. Shuttlesworth dies
Published: Wednesday, October 5, 2011 at 1:09 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, October 5, 2011 at 1:09 p.m.
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. - Civil rights leader the Rev. Fred L. Shuttlesworth, who was hailed by the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. for his courage and energy, has died. He was 89.
Princeton Baptist Medical Center spokeswoman Jennifer Dodd confirms he died at the Birmingham hospital Wednesday morning.
Shuttlesworth was bombed, beaten and repeatedly arrested in the fight for civil rights.
The former truck driver studied religion at night and became pastor of Bethel Baptist Church in Birmingham, Ala., in 1953. Soon after he became an outspoken leader in the fight for racial equality.
King called Shuttlesworth "one of the nation's most courageous freedom fighters" in his 1963 book, "Why We Can't Wait."
He survived a 1956 bombing, an assault during a 1957 demonstration and countless arrests.

Comments Thread For: Adrien Broner-Vicente Rodriguez Early Results From Cincy
By Bill Emes at ringside
Deontay Wilder (20-0, 20KO) entered his name into the Knockout of the Year sweepstakes with a crushing first round blitzing of local heavyweight David Long (11-2-2, 7KO), who was out upon impact. Wilder was the lone member of the 2008 U.S. Olympic boxing squad to win a medal, capturing a bronze in the Beijing Games. So far, he has knocked out every opponent hes faced as a pro.
Juan Garcia (10-0, 7KO) scored a minor upset with a unanimous decision over local welterweight William Jackson (10-1-1, 5KO) in a six-round battle of unbeaten prospects. Scores were 59-55 (twice) and 58-56 in favor of Garcia, who fights out of Holland, Michigan. [Click Here To Read More]

When is Wilder going to fight someone that at least has a "name". I dont even care if its an old, washed up fighter, as long as he has a "name".
Wilder is a HORRIBLE fighter, in my opinion.

Volcom Stone Presents: Quincy Davis "True To This": Montauk in FallVolcom women's surfer Quincy Davis has traveled the world chasing waves yet her favorite place to be is still her hometown of Montauk, NY. Being one of the only women representing surf on the east coast she's been featured in The New York Times, the Today Show and to have been photographed by the amazing Annie Leibovitz. "To walk down a street in Soho and see my billboard on a brickwall is amazing and all because I surf" - Quincy Davis Check out a glimpse of Montauk in Fall.Posted on November 26, 2014
Great Scott! Volcom's Greatwhite Event Hits The Lane!One thing has come to be constant at The Lane for the Volcom TCT events, the surf is always there with bells on. This past weekend in Santa Cruz for the last stop of the Greatwhite Series was no different than the previous trip. The surf was pumping all day, and the competitors took full advantage of the gift from Mother Ocean. Aesthetically pleasing to say the least. The Lane has plenty of eye candy. We showed up dark and early on a chilly Saturday morning and started to unload the truck and get the event site set up before the sunrise, with the help of a grip of frothing competitors ready to get the battle going. There is always a lot of talent in the Greatwhite Series and we were eager to see what the Groms had up there sleeves that day. They did not disappoint. With a dropping tide all day the level of surfing just continued to rise as the surf continued to improve. Up, up, and away. Sam Coffey in controlled flight. Couple of Squids about to take the plunge. Top to bottom. Take notes kids, Johnny Gunn, teaching class. Happy people, colorful backdrop. Free surfers getting a lesson in "This is how it's done." Like we said, eye candy for days. The Lane offers many different spectator viewpoints. The cliffs are getting a particularly special view of this one. Progressive maneuvers killed the power game, we think not. We had to move into our usual daylight savings time double beach format and the competitors took full advantage of the slot and center peak, battling and advancing into the later rounds where the surfing just seemed to improve all day. When it was all said and done we had another back to back winning performance and a sweep of the Greatwhite series by Willie Eagleton in the Pro-Am. Willie is a local Grom in Santa Cruz and you can easily tell he surfs these waves regularly. Following up behind him was Tyler Gunter making the long drive up from OC to snag the juniors title with solid surfing all day. Riaru Ito had a great showing at The Lane and took home his second win in a row in the Groms division, with Jack Conti owning everyones favorite Squid divison, and the very talented Ashley Held talking home the title for the Girls. And to the victors go the spoils. Tyler Gunter in winning form all day. Who won?? Who won!!?? Come on tell us! Winner winner chicken dinner. Back to back winner Willie Eagleton straight up and in the money. Sparkling grape juice, acceptable substitute for a shower. Izaiah Hansen Style for miles. Squids Winners! Your Greatwhite winners! We had a blast in Santa Cruz this year for the Greatwhite series and a huge thank you to all the competitors and families that came out to support their groms and the Volcom TCT!! As always a special thanks to our sponsors that make this all possible, Volcom, New Era Cap Co., Rev'd Bars, Surfing Magazine, and especially Trevor from Penny Skateboards for making the trek up with us and hanging out running games with the Groms all day putting countless smiles on countless faces!

Nacreous pigments, also known as pearlescent or effect pigments, exhibit pearl-like and/or iridescent effects upon the transmission and reflection of light therethrough. As is well known in the art, the characteristics of such pigments depends upon optical interference phenomena as more fully described, for example, in �The Properties of Nacreous Pigments�, Greenstein and Miller, Technical Papers, Vol. XIII, Annual Technical Conference, Society of Plastic Engineers, May 1967.
Nacreous pigments are conventionally formulated for use in suspensions of light transmitting resinous media which can be applied by dipping or spraying operations to form plastic coatings or by extruding, molding, casting or like techniques to provide solid plastic articles incorporating such pigments. Nacreous pigments so utilized should have indexes of refraction which differ from the suspending media because the pearly or nacreous effect displayed by such pigments depends upon the difference between the index of refraction of the oriented, plate-like pigment particles and the index of refraction of the medium in which they are dispersed.
Mica by itself is not a satisfactory nacreous pigment inasmuch as its average index of refraction is about 1.58 which is too close to the index of conventional transparent resinous media of about 1.5-1.59. Excellent nacreous pigments may, however, be provided by the deposition of titanium dioxide or iron oxide coatings on mica flakes.
Linton U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,087,828 and 3,087,829 describe the preparation of titanium dioxide and other metal oxide coated mica nacreous pigments, which optionally can be topped with a layer of another material such as, inter alia, iron and chromium.
Armanini, et al. U.S. Pat. No. 4,146,403 describes iron oxide-coated mica nacreous pigments which are improved by interposing a thin layer of titanium dioxide or aluminum oxide between the iron oxide and the mica. Dark colors and a very good adhesion of the iron oxide layer is obtained.
Pearlescent or nacreous pigments are frequently evaluated by examining or measuring reflectance by means of conventional drawdowns on a hiding power chart. For instance, drawdowns are prepared from a suspension containing 3% pigment in a nitrocellulose lacquer as described, inter alia, in the aforementioned Armanini, et al. patent.
The pearlescent pigments are conventionally used to color various materials. They can be incorporated, for instance, in plastics or coated on a substrate using conventional techniques. In such applications, the pearlescent plastics exhibit a constant pearlescent effect. It has now been surprisingly discovered that certain pearlescent pigments exhibit a unique effect when coated on a color card, a metallic substrate, incorporated into a plastic chip, etc. More particularly, these pigments exhibit are intensely colored, almost phosphorescently colored, and are highly reflective.
This invention is related to new articles exhibiting an intense color and high reflectivity and their preparation. More particularly, the invention relates to a platelet pearlescent pigment having a chromium coating on titanium dioxide platelets and an iron oxide coating on the chromium coating.
The pearlescent pigments used in the present invention are iron oxide-coated chromium-coated titanium dioxide platelet nacreous pigments. These titanium dioxide platelet nacreous pigments are derived from titanium dioxide-coated mica substrate from which the substrate has been removed and are, in the general sense, known. Any known procedures can be used to prepare such pigments. The formulation of coating compositions containing such pigments and the coating of substrates is likewise known.
Titanium dioxide platelets suitable for use in this invention are described, for instance in U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,192,691 and 5,611,851, which are incorporated herein for their teaching of titanium platelets and methods for their manufacture. Such platelets are commonly referred to as �platy TiO2� or �self supporting TiO2� and are substantially substrate free, generally containing less than about 20% of substrate based on the total weight of the product. U.S. Pat. No. 4,192,691 employs an aqueous solution of hydrofluoric acid and a mineral acid such as sulfuric acid to dissolve the mica from the pigment. It also discloses and illustrates the use of this dissolving agent to remove the mica from a titanium dioxide-coated mica having a surface layer of either iron or chromium oxide. U.S. Pat. No. 5,611,851 employs a combination of a mineral acid and phosphoric acid followed by an extractive dissolution using an alkali. Although the procedure of U.S. Pat. No. 5,611,851 is preferred, other procedures can be employed to obtain the titanium dioxide platelets used in the present invention.
The TiO2 platelet types useful in this invention can be prepared via the web method, using fluid bed techniques, hydrolyzing organic titanates or homogeneous precipitation employing NaOH/TiCl4. In addition, platelet TiO2 suitable for this invention can be prepared by removing gypsum from TiO2 coated gypsum or by burning off graphite from TiO2 coated graphite. Dissolving glass from a TiO2 coated glass base also provides a substrate useful in this invention. Although there are several avenues for preparing the Ti which then can be coated further, the TiO2 substrate of U.S. Pat. No. 5,611,851 still preferred in order to obtain maximum reflectivity and color purity.
The platelets of titanium dioxide are generally about 1-75 μm in length, preferably about 2-35 μm, and have an interference thickness of about 5-600 nm, preferably about 20-400 nm. By substantially substrate-free is meant that the platelet material can incorporate up to about 20% of the mica substrate and usually incorporate at least 1% mica. The TiO2 is preferably in the rutile crystalline form but can also be in the anatase form.
Providing a titanium dioxide-coated mica with a surface layer of either iron or chromium oxide is known. In broad terms, the material to be coated is brought into contact with a salt of the metal, usually an aqueous solution thereof, under appropriate conditions, e.g. pH, so as to deposit a layer of the metal, followed by calcination. The present invention utilizes such known procedures but differs therefrom in that titanium dioxide platelet is used as the material to be coated, both chromium and iron are deposited thereon and the chromium is deposited first. The chromium layer is preferably partly calcined before the iron is deposited but can be fully calcined if desired. To achieve partial calcination, a lower calcination temperature of about 350-500� C., preferably about 425-475� C., is employed for about 0.1-5 hours, preferably 0.25-0.75 hour. In general, the chromium will constitute about 2-8%, preferably about 4-5%, of the final calcined product and the iron will constitute about 4-10%, preferably about 6-7%, of the final calcined product.
After the iron is deposited and final calcining, the reflectivity is increased and the interaction between Ti, Cr and Fe returns an intense, almost phosphorescent color. Colors between gold and green, within the interference spectrum, can be prepared. In each case, reflectivity increases with intense color formation. This is the first time such an effect has been recorded or reported, using a substrate-free interference type TiO2 substrate. Compared to prior art, this process has several advantages. It employs standard, pearlescent coating technology without resorting to solvent based reactions or chemical vapor deposition/reduction techniques, it takes full advantage of the high refractive index of TiO2 (2.6-2.9) without mica presence, it does not require costly or impractical equipment, and it produces a full range of colors which can be used in cosmetic/automotive/industrial markets.
The following examples are set forth in order to further illustrate the invention without being intended to limit it. Throughout the specification and claims, all parts and percentages are by weight and all temperatures and degrees are centigrade unless otherwise indicated.
One hundred thirty grams of a red interference TiO2 coated mica was treated with an acid dissolution step followed by alkali leaching in a second step, as described in U.S. Pat. No. 5,611,851, to prepare approximately 80 grams of a red interference TiO2 platelets which were slurried in 1 liter of deionized water. The slurry was stirred at 250-300 rpm and the pH was adjusted to 6.5-7.0 using HCl and/or NaOH as necessary. At 25� C. 200 g of 10% CrCl3.6H2O was added at the rate of 2.0 ml/min while maintaining the pH constant at 6.5-7.0 by appropriate additions of NaOH. Following completion of the chromium addition, the solid was filtered, and the resulting presscake was washed and calcined for � hr. at 450� C. After the partial calcination, the crystals were re-slurried in 1 liter of deionized water and heated to 74� C. At room temperature, the pH was adjusted to 3.5. Then, 30 ml of 39% aqueous FeCl3 was added at a rate of 0.5 ml/min, maintaining the pH constant at 3.5 to a purple colored product. The slurry was filtered, and the resulting presscake was washed and calcined at 850� C. for � hr. A deep and intense violet colored product was obtained, having a higher reflectivity compared to a platy TiO2 exhibiting an inference violet color.
The forgoing procedure was repeated substituting different titanium dioxide platelets prepared by treating 120-130 grams of titanium dioxide coated mica. The results are st forth in the following table.
In each case, the final reflection/absorption color was identical, very intense and exhibiting an increase in quality by reflection relative to platelet titanium dioxide of the same color.
The procedure of Example 1 was repeated omitting the chromium addition. A violet reflecting product was obtained but it had less color intensity than the product of Example 1.
The procedure of Example 1 was repeated substituting tin chloride for the chromium chloride. A violet reflecting product was obtained but it had less color intensity and reflectivity than the product of Example 1.
A colorant product prepared according to example 2 is incorporated into polypropylene step chips at 1% concentration. The step chips are appropriately named since they have graduating thickness at each step across the face of the chip. The graduating steps allow one to examine the different effect of the colorant based on polymer thickness.
A colorant product prepared according to example 2 is incorporated into a nail enamel. 10 g of the colorant is mixed with 82 g of suspending lacquer SLF-2, 4 g lacquer 127 P and 4 g ethyl acetate. The suspending lacquer SLF-2 is a generic nail enamel consisting of butyl acetate, toluene, nitrocellulose, tosylamide/formaldehyde resin, isopropyl alcohol, dibutyl phthalate, ethyl acetate, camphor, n-butyl alcohol and silica.
A 10% by weight colorant product from example 2 is sprayed in a polyester TGIC powder coating from Tiger Drylac using a PGI corona Gun #110347. The colorant is mixed in a clear polyester system and sprayed over a RAL 9005 black pigmented polyester powder. The colorant is highly attracted to the ground metal panel due to its electrical properties. Additionally, due to its high affinity to orient closely to the surface it produces a finish that is high in distinctness of image (DOI). It does not require an additional clear coat to reduce protrusion often caused by traditional pearlescent and metal flake pigments.
A 10% dispersion of the colorant product prepared according to example 2 is mixed into a clear acrylic urethane basecoat clearcoat paint system DBX-689 (PPG) along with various PPG tints to achieve desired color. The tint pastes consist of organic or inorganic colorants dispersed at various concentrations in a solventborne system suitable with the DMD Deltron Automotive Refinish paint line from PPG. The complete formulation is sprayed using a conventional siphon feed spraygun onto 4�12″ curved automotive type panels supplied by Graphic Metals. The panel is clear coated with PPG 2001 high solids polyurethane clear coat and air dried.
Products of this invention have an unlimited use in all types of automotive and industrial paint applications, especially in the organic color coating and inks field where deep color intensity is required. For example, these pigments can be used in mass tone or as styling agents to spray paint all types of automotive and non-automotive vehicles. Similarly, they can be used on all clay/formica/wood/glass/metal/enamel/ceramic and non-porous or porous surfaces. They can be incorporated into plastic articles geared for the toy industry or the home. These pigments can be impregnated into fibers to impart new and esthetic coloring to clothes and carpeting. They can be used to improve the look of shoes, rubber and vinyl/marble flooring, vinyl siding, and all other vinyl products. In addition, these colors can be used in all types of modeling hobbies.
The above-mentioned compositions in which the compositions of this invention are useful are well known to those of ordinary skill in the art. Examples include printing inks, nail enamels, lacquers, thermoplastic and thermosetting materials, natural resins and synthetic resins. Some non-limiting examples include polystyrene and its mixed polymers, polyolefins, in particular, polyethylene and polypropylene, polyacrylic compounds, polyvinyl compounds, for example polyvinyl chloride and polyvinyl acetate, polyesters and rubber, and also filaments made of viscose and cellulose ethers, cellulose esters, polyamides, polyurethanes, polyesters, for example polyglycol terephthalates, and polyacrylonitrile.
For a well-rounded introduction to a variety of pigment applications, see Temple C. Patton, editor, The Pigment Handbook, volume II, Applications and Markets, John Wiley and Sons, New York (1973). In addition, see for example, with regard to ink: R. H. Leach, editor, The Printing Ink Manual, Fourth Edition, Van Nostrand Reinhold (International) Co. Ltd., London (1988), particularly pages 282-591; with regard to paints: C. H. Hare, Protective Coatings, Technology Publishing Co., Pittsburgh (1994), particularly pages 63-288. The foregoing references are hereby incorporated by reference herein for their teachings of ink, paint and plastic compositions, formulations and vehicles in which the compositions of this invention may be used including amounts of colorants. For example, the pigment may be used at a level of 10 to 15% in an offset lithographic ink, with the remainder being a vehicle containing gelled and ungelled hydrocarbon resins, alkyd resins, wax compounds and aliphatic solvent. The pigment may also be used, for example, at a level of 1 to 10% in an automotive paint formulation along with other pigments which may include titanium dioxide, acrylic lattices, coalescing agents, water or solvents. The pigment may also be used, for example, at a level of 20 to 30% in a plastic color concentrate in polyethylene.
In the cosmetic field, these pigments can be used in the eye area and in all external and rinse-off applications. Thus, they can be used in hair sprays, face powder, leg-makeup, insect repellent lotion, mascara cake/cream, nail enamel, nail enamel remover, perfume lotion, and shampoos of all types (gel or liquid). In addition, they can be used in shaving cream (concentrate for aerosol, brushless, lathering), skin glosser stick, skin makeup, hair groom, eye shadow (liquid, pomade, powder, stick, pressed or cream), eye liner, cologne stick, cologne, cologne emollient, bubble-bath, body lotion (moisturizing, cleansing, analgesic, astringent), after shave lotion, after bath milk and sunscreen lotion.
Various changes and modifications can be made in the process and products of this invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. The various embodiments which were disclosed herein (including the field of use disclosure) were intended to further illustrate the invention but not to limit it.

@takashichea: lol I had no intention of doing so :P
Kinda think of it I was pretty sure I bought emerald but I don't know where I left it :(
@takashichea: But I'll be sending the DS box not the Gameboy original :)
@takashichea: I lost my Blue, Red, early on due to mold. I have absolutly no idea what happened to Gold and sapphire but I still own Leaf Green. That said if you want and replacement box for your Leaf Green I can send you the DS one when I eventually buy it from Ebay. No sense keeping it when I still have the original. :)
@Daniel_Newton: Your welcome. I'll send it as soon as i can walk normally again xD
@Daniel_Newton: Hi, Do you still want that old base set Charizard of mine? Well I just remembered I should have done that ages ago! Sorry! xD PM the adress so I can ship it :D
@Daniel_Newton: Ebay, I just kept checking ebay at the lowest price and shipping, and on the auctions section with the first to end setting, You could try the first, 4th or the 7th doctor sets too :)
According to Serebii one can catch Charmeleon, Wartortle and Ivysaur in the Friend Safari, Which is weird because the other starters don't seem to have a place where you can get them.
Any way I am still without the game or 3DS XL, I am getting the game at the end of the month but I need to wait with the 3DS XL. Its just to much right now.
@Acura_Max: *sees US only* How very global of them
@kangna001: Okay I get it, Listen, this is not a site for you to make a plug for your music video's and trailers.
If I see you doing this again consider yourself banned.
@kangna001: I doubt this belongs to said anime you posted in or anime in general moved to off-topic.
@Sonata: Thanks! And indeed she is lol
@takashichea: lol well count me out for trading because I am buying the games first and the 3DS XL somewhere in April.
Also does any one know if with Pokemon Bank the on-game pc system has been removed? I am kinda worried about when I don't have Wi-Fi or when I don't care to pay 5 euro's a year.
@sickVisionz: Weeping angels and Daleks XD
Same here Daniel, or at least based on Adventures but sadly that's probably never going to happen...
Any way looking forward to this :D
Cool banner! yes you can add me xD
My first Doctor was Paul McGann when I got the vhs version of the movie in the late 90's, When the new show started I torrented the old show to watch it fromthe first episode, I must admit thatI liked Tennant as the Doctof but I was so sick of the companions romancing the doctor that I ignored the new show up till Donna showed up again. I have caught up since then though, But I used that time to watch most of what I could of theclassic series. Also last year I started listening to the big finish drama's and it makes sad that McGann didnt get a full series, any way I have enjoyed Matt era, Not withstanding Moffat's attempts at using plot points he aleady used ofcourse. I am looking foward to the 8th anniversary special and the 50th anniversary audio drama which does include the rest of the Doctors :P

I'm in the clique, I'm in the clique
I'm really slick, I know every trick
And I can get a chick, 'cause I'm in the clique.
Get your greasy hands off the guitar,
Get your slimy seat off the drums,
Go and take a chair in the corner,
And wait until your time comes.
Maybe you're a wheel in your hometown,
Maybe you're the best on the block,
But by the time you make it in New York,
Your axe will be in hock.
Gettin' in the door will cost a fin Minimum is another three
It takes a year of heavy spending
Before they let you in free.
You may dress like everybody
But there the similarity ends
You need more than a uniform to be
In our little circle of friends.
Maybe I could give you advice
Find more lyrics on http://mp3lyrics.com
But what can I say to you?
Some people get it together
And some people never do.
Just try and get your foot in the door
And maybe, with luck, you may
Also be in a position to look
Down your nose on somebody someday.

An operation to reduce the pile of rubbish in the Waste4Fuel site in St Paul's Cray has begun.
Environment Agency (EA) contractors entered the Cornwall Drive recycling plant on Tuesday (August 5), and levels of waste will start to be reduced to safe levels today (August 8).
While the EA's battle to ensure the site operator and landowner clean up the site continues, it says it is taking this step to reduce the blight on the local community.
Despite this, residents living around Waste4Fuel remain sceptical about the future.
Patricia Smith, 69, of Bostall Road, said: "I don't feel this is the answer to all our prayers. I'll only be convinced when the site is clear.
"It seems like the fire brigade is permanently at the site these days. We have to live with the flies and the stench every day.
"I had to buy two fly swatters and a fly screen last week - I've lived here many years and I've never had to do that."
Rob Wise, environment manager at the Environment Agency, said: "We understand the frustration of local residents and we will continue our fight against Waste4Fuel.
"It is not right that taxpayers should pick up the bill for this operation when it remains the responsibility of the site operator and landowners, but the priority is to make the site as safe as possible.
"We are committed to working with our partners to find a long-term solution."
The problems at Waste4Fuel have got progressively worse over the last two and a half years, with frequent fires releasing fumes that have become a serious health concern for local residents.
Despite this, the pile of waste in the site has continued to grow, leading to the suggestion the area around it has become the worst place to live in Britain.
