Q: My ex-husband and I share equal custody of our 8-year-old daughter and 10-year-old son. He recently married a woman who seems to like my children very much, and they like her too. She has a daughter about my daughter's age. I'm actually glad that they all get along so well, but there is one thing that does upset me. She disciplines my kids when they are at their father's home. I believe this responsibility lies with their father and me, and it infuriates me when I call them and I hear that they are on a time-out when their dad is not even home! How do I handle this?
A: Years ago when parents divorced, mom got custody of the kids and dad received visitation rights. I call that "old-school divorce." With that sort of arrangement, stepmothers rarely took care of the children for any length of time.
Then joint custody became the way of the land and the "new-school divorce" was born. With that came co-parenting '- something few were honestly ready to tackle. As a result of joint custody, the children interact with both parents after the divorce, and if dad has remarried, then his wife interacts with the kids as well. In many households the stepmother is the primary caregiver for the children when they are at dad's, and, as in this case, it can be a big problem for the biological mom.
Truthfully, the problem lies in thinking with our hearts and not with our heads '- and approaching a "new-school divorce" life with an "old-school divorce" attitude. Few moms want to share their children with an ex that frustrates them, let alone a new woman this frustrating ex brings into the fold. But in reality, that's what we have now. For the betterment of our children, we have to figure out a new way.

text: McLaren boss: We have 15 Monaco wins 13 May, 2010 Martin Whitmarsh with his team's drivers Lewis Hamilton and Jenson Button after the Australian GP May.13 (Grand Prix 247) Vodafone McLaren Mercedes team principal Martin Whitmarsh spoke at the FIA press conference on the opening day of Monaco Grand Prix weekend. Looking back at last weekend and looking forward to this weekend. Martin with Lewis Hamilton Martin Whitmarsh: Last weekend was disappointing in some ways. I think Lewis drove a great race and really deserved a second place. To lose that with a couple of laps to go is always disappointing. He had a wheel failure. The wheel failure was the consequence of backing off of the clamping load with the wheel nit. You try and investigate and it is always difficult to know exactly why that is. I think it is a range of things. Being on bottom end of tolerance. I think the air regulator that drives the air wrenches was perhaps erratic. The gun was within tolerance but at the lower end and maybe the gun stayed on a little shorter than it could have done, so all those things meant that the wheel was able to flex. When it does that it rubs on the brake drum, gets hot, leaves the properties of the magnesium and leads to a failure. Very disappointing as it was a strong race for him. He has not had the luckiest or more fortunate starts to the season but I am sure he will come back very strongly. With Jenson again another solid race to come through the race. He had a dash failure fairly early on. The dash as you would imagine has a number of different uses for the drive, including telling them when to shift. Although they learn that for a proportion of that race he was close behind another driver and if you are in a tow your shift points change, so he is having to adapt. It also meant that when you are changing switches on the steering wheel you don't get the feedback to know they are in the right position and it also resulted in the pit stop where he didn't have the normal launch procedure. He was unable to see the rpm. The rpm was a little high, so there was dragging of the clutch and rotating of the wheel, so the guys on the rear had to contend with that while trying to take the rear wheels off and on very quickly. So no fault of the driver or the crew but it was a slow stop which obviously put him behind Michael and it is difficult to pass Michael at the best of times. So disappointing. He was capable of going quite a lot quicker than Michael was driving but as Christian said it is very difficult to overtake on a circuit like Barcelona. Looking forward to this race?´ Ayrton Senna won the 1992 Monaco GP for McLaren Whitmarsh: We always look forward to it. I have been here with Lewis in Formula Three, GP2 and Formula One for wins. It is a circuit he has shown his mettle on. Jenson also, and it is also a circuit we have won 15 times, so it is a great circuit for McLaren and we would like to do it again. It looks very, very tight. No doubt Red Bull will be strong here but I think this afternoon showed it is quite close. The track is evolving very quickly. I don't think we are getting the best out of the first lap with the tyres but we'll see what happens. Qualifying is going to be a challenge here. We are going to make sure we get through Q1 and it is difficult for everyone. Not just for the quick drivers it is difficult for the slower cars and they presumably are going to spend all their time looking in their mirrors and that is not easy to avoid penalty. If you are a quick car you come across them fairly quickly. They have every right to be there but it will be a challenge. The drivers will have to try and show better respect for one another and it is going to be quite difficult. I am sure because of that challenge lots of cars will be out for a long period of the 20 minutes of Q1 trying to find a gap. But it is very difficult trying to reverse back and gap the car in front when you have got cars coming down behind you, so if you get yourself trapped amongst cars that are of a different pace even if you are a faster one or a slower one it is quite difficult to correct. One question about F-ducts. Some people are running it, some people aren't. I think your team seem to be running it. Is it easy to run it here and is there a benefit? Whitmarsh: It is less of a benefit obviously. F-duct is something which will work better on the long straight than a circuit like this. It is a standard part of our car. We don't have a non F-duct variety to fit in any case. Its deployment is less significant than it was, for instance, in Barcelona. You had a meeting about tyres in Spain. Can you name some names and tell us who is offering what and why it's taking so long to get a decision? Martin Whitmarsh with fellow team principals at the FIApress conference in Monaco Whitmarsh: I think, if you go back a few weeks it looked like there wasn't really anyone who wanted to provide tyres, so the good news is that there appears to be several companies that are interested in supplying tyres to Formula One. I think those names have been widely speculated, I don't think you need me to confirm them, and out of respect to those suppliers, we should wait until we've got a decision. A decision is necessary for everyone; it's necessary for the teams because clearly we are designing our cars. We need technical information and the information – or the selection – is necessary for the tyre company because we need to make sure that they can get ready, particularly if they are new to the game. Without naming names, can you say what the benefits and the options are? One is expensive, one is cheap? Martin on the pit wall Whitmarsh: Yeah, I think as you would imagine, established players with more technical capability cost more than the newcomers. So there's a balance here and I think the teams will approach it in a responsible manner. Inevitably, in this climate, for all of the teams, having the lowest cost tyres is important. But at the same time, we mustn't compromise on the technical information and the integrity of those tyres, so there's a balance. I think the teams together have got to assess all of the new offerings and they're changing on a daily basis. Once we've got the best offers then the teams need to come together, we need to make sure that the FIA is also happy with the route that we go forward with. You have a chief engineer who has departed McLaren for places unknown. What are you going to do about that and will it affect your design process for next year? Senior team member Pat Fry has departed McLaren Whitmarsh: We're talking about Pat Fry and Pat's been with the company for about 18 years, so he's made a great contribution to the team over a number of years. I think it was probably good for him, the right decision for him to take a bit of a break, take a breather. I think he's worked very hard for the team for a number of years. Within our team, then, I think we've got quite a bit of a talent and depth, so in these situations it's a great opportunity for someone younger, maybe hungrier, to come along and replace all of us. We're all replaceable. I think the process will be the same but we've manned with fresh new engineers. When Christian Horner said his Red Bull was not as well funded as the more established ones you raised your eyebrows as if to suggest that maybe they are. Would you tend to disagree with him that they are just as well-funded these days as McLaren or Ferrari? Martin with Christian Horner Whitmarsh: I think that whatever the level of funding, and I don't know the funding, in terms of resources, the larger teams are pretty similar. The RRA (resource restriction agreement) is already having some impact on that and those teams will all become of fairly universal size and scope, I imagine. Red Bull is a well-funded, well-structured, well-led organisation. Winning in Formula One has never been more difficult, certainly in the 20-odd years that I've been involved in Formula One. There are some good teams and Red Bull is obviously one of those, Ferrari is another. We've obviously got Mercedes who have clear hunger to win as well. I think it's going to remain very, very competitive in Formula One for a good many years to come, which is great for the sport. Teams have started looking now at their 2011 cars; I understand that some of the engineers have been quite shocked by the difference in terms of downforce that you're getting without the double diffusers. Do you think that's going to add a lot to the costs in the next few months, as you go through the research and try to get that back, or is that going to be less of a shocking change than they appear to say at the moment? Lewis Hamilton congratulates Jenson Button in Melbourne Whitmarsh: I think that regardless of the opportunity to improve we're all going to try as hard as we can. Not many Formula One teams save resources available, they spend it or use it, so I don't think it will add to the cost but clearly moving away from double diffusers means that the rear end of the car will be very different and one would imagine that there's quite a lot of work to be done in that area. I think that it's a positive thing. I think that one of the challenges that Formula One has always is to control performance but also to enhance the opportunity to overtake. I don't think any of us can, hand on heart, say we have the magic formula for that, because if you've got good drivers in good cars on the type of circuits we're at, then it's always going to be difficult but tendentially, if you can reduce the wake of the car, if you can reduce the effect that the wake has on you and you can reduce the aerodynamic downforce then one can imagine that's going to allow the cars to be closer in the first place and hopefully facilitate more overtaking. I think it's a good thing. I think Formula One was a little bit slow, frankly, in prohibiting double diffusers. Obviously this time last year there was a fair amount of controversy that caused teams to be dug in and not flexibly minded. We have now taken them out of the sport for next year. I personally think that's a good thing, but it does mean that we've all got a relatively fresh start designing diffusers and the rear ends of our car.

"The delicate balance of mentoring someone is not creating them in your own image, but giving them the opportunity to create themselves." - Steven Spielberg
The University of Nebraska Medical Center is committed to the mentoring of junior faculty. Mentoring activities can be formal or informal. Formal mentoring is a directed activity over a sustained time between two faculty members who meet on a regular basis. Informal mentoring is often infrequent and may involve senior and junior faculty meeting periodically to work on recent needs of the junior faculty member.
While both have important benefits, our intent is to establish formal mentoring relationships to mentor faculty members during their early career. Faculty can also benefit from mentoring throughout their academic life, even after achieving senior administrative roles or other academic success.

Home Sour Home?
They say that you can?t go home again.? But after six tumultuous though ascending seasons on the Charlotte/New Orleans Hornets and four magical years on the Golden State Warriors, elite point guard Baron Davis finally got his wish and returned to his native Los Angeles where he was born and had starred at UCLA in the late 1990s.
But all is not well as Davis? trade wishes resulted in his not landing on the lauded LA Lakers, but ending up on their co-residents, the long-suffering LA Clippers.? Much can be said about the Clippers? player-personnel moves over the years, but none were as resounding as the off-season losses of their two best offensive players ? Elton Brand and Corey Maggette.? It?s not often you lose your two best weapons and replace them with equal value.? Alas, the Clippers were able to lure Davis from the upstate division rival Warriors, seemingly at least somewhat compensating for Maggette, if not Brand.
Thus far, the Clippers have predictably started the season with a thud, winning only one (a surprising home victory against Dallas) of their first nine, although in fairness, it is still too early to judge the effectiveness of a Davis-led offense, which also added center-forward Marcus Camby to the fold.? However, to date, Davis is averaging 16.3 points-per-game, which is not far off his career average, but certainly notably down from his recent seasons as a Warrior.
In fact, the Clippers? most recent test was against those same Warriors, who, with Maggette in tow, visited Staples Center for a November 15 matin?e.? Even though the Clippers fought to stay close through most of the game, in the end, the Warriors, behind the shooting power of undrafted rookie Anthony Morrow?s 37 points, won easily 121-103.? Of note, Davis was the Clippers? scoring leader with 25 points.
Davis, soft-spoken, intelligent, and articulate, is not miffed by his new team?s beginning struggles.? ?Everyone is this locker room wants to win,? he said. ?We just have to figure out how to win together.? A lot of times, when you are in a situation like this, everyone wants to take it upon themselves to be the guy that is responsible for that next victory.? We all have to use each other?s talents and just play with each other and work well together.? We?re coming along; it?s just that we?re doing it in spurts.? We have to have a sustained effort.?
With Davis as the point guard, he realizes that the burden is on him to lead the team.? ?I think tempo is everything for us,? Davis said.? ?Once we are able to find that style, meaning pace, we?re going to be a better team.? We?re still looking for it: that rhythm out there ? that flow.? We?re showing some flashes of being a highly competitive team. Everybody has to figure out their roles within the system.?
Any Clippers' observer notes that the team often plays from behind, a reality not lost on Davis. ?We have to get off to better starts, stop digging ourselves into holes, and basically play with confidence.? I think a lot of times, we?re out there playing with uncertainty.? You can?t be effective that way.? We just have to continue to do a better effort as a team to try and play as a whole.? I think chemistry is important, and right now, that?s something that we really have to concentrate and work hard on.?
So does Davis have the patience to let the Clippers grow with him?? ?I am pretty patient. I?ve learned from my years in the league to be very patient," he said. ?And, I understand that this season is a long season.? You?ve got to be able to develop a chemistry, and that?s what basketball is all about.
?Growing up the way I grew up,? he continued, ?you have to be patient and let things come to you.? You?ve just got to know that there are always better days to come, especially when you?ve put in the hard work that we?re putting in.? Everybody is trying their hardest to accelerate that curve.? We?re going to get there ? it?s just a matter of time.?
With his first Warrior matchup behind him, and not displaying any regrets, Davis had nothing but encouraging words for his old team,? ?I think, they are starting to settle in and figure out who they are as a team as well ? the young guys are stepping up,? he said.
So does Davis regret the movie to LA?? With less than 10% of the season in the bank, the jury is still out.? However, Davis exuded optimism when summarizing his reasons for returning.? ?I think [I had an] opportunity to be a role model in the community and try and bring a winning attitude to the Clipper organization,? he said.? And with that, he went out into the streets of his Los Angeles for a familiar Saturday afternoon.

Music to Celebrate IPD 2014By Dan | Filed in humor
Here are some nerdy/geeky songs appropriate for today
International Programmers' Day – January 7th 2014By Dan | Filed in site news
Happy International Programmers' Day Around The World!!
Whether it's folks who program websites, microcontrollers, mobile devices, or backend systems – or whatever hardware is invented next – January 7th is the day each year to remember their accomplishments!
This is the SIXTH YEAR of celebrating this worldwide event!
IT Certifications in 2014By Dan | Filed in certification
A new year deserves a new look at IT certifications. I've always been a fan of certifications, as I believe studying for them makes you well-rounded in a field, and they look pretty darn good on the resume. I've taken certification exams in areas I'm very familiar with, and in technologies I'm barely familiar with but I'd like to know more about.
IBM came out with a very good white paper discussing the pros/cons of certifications. "The primary reasons include increased employability, greater growth potential and networking opportunities." It went on to say "Overall, professionals who had earned an IT or project management certification during the last five years earned an average of $5,242 more than their counterparts."
I often look at what the big companies for programmers are offering – Oracle, Zend, Microsoft, IBM. Sure, there are other companies, but these have topped my list for some time and continue to. Here's why:
Oracle: According to Gartner, 48.8% of all money spent on a commercial database package is spent on Oracle. That is a huge share, especially considering that IBM at second place is only at 20.2%, so an Oracle cert is a must-have for non-specialized IT professionals. Oracle also has MySQL, the open source database, which is downloaded a whopping 65,000 times a day! Oracle also offers Java certification – you know, the 2nd most popular language (C has re-overtaken Java…it's a great battle!). Plus, Oracle has a ton of other in-demand specialized certs (middle tier & hardware), making it by far my top choice for IT Certification.
IBM: From hardware to software, IBM is a powerhouse in certain companies. It has more in revenues than Google + Apple combined. It is very much a software development/support company that also sells software & hardware. To that end, they offer numerous certifications on their vast array of products. If you're interested in tapping into all that money, certification can help.
Zend: I always felt PHP is a peculiar language to gauge the popularity of, and others agree. To me, I think PHP has stopped being a "rising star" and has instead solidified itself as a small-website-development tool, such as WordPress sites like this site! It's a needed niche, and will be around for quite some time. If you're looking to enter the PHP realm, a Zend cert may help.
Microsoft: I've had Microsoft certs for over a decade. There are always job posted for MS Certified employees, pulling in big dollars. Microsoft Certified Solutions Developers earn $97,848. Microsoft Certified Database Administrators earn $95,950. Microsoft Certified Application Developer earn $93,349. Also, Microsoft's Database Administrator ($90,200) and SQL Server 2005 ($90,100) certs pull in good money too. But all these tests are hard, and not for the casual user!
Another newish IT cert to consider: The Google Apps Certified Deployment Specialist. I'm thinking about it! It sounds cool, right? Not sure how useful it would be, yet. May look good on the resume, though.
Adobe also has a ton of certifications for their products. I've never tried one. They seem reasonably priced, so maybe I will. More info on them here.
In conclusion… Prometric came out with a report on IT certs. It lists numerous to get certified. The one that stands out for me is that 89% of IT decision makers perceive certifications as a way to keep skills/knowledge current. I think that's true, whether early in your career or later on.

Apple Loses DOJ LawsuitBy Dan | Filed in law
Apple Inc is no stranger to the courtroom. They have gone to court with Samsung, Motorola, Microsoft, The Beatles, etc. On Wednesday, the U.S. Department of Justice has won its case against Apple Inc.
Apple was found guilty of price-fixing and hurting competition. According to this article:
[T]he judge [is] saying not only that the government has proven a per se violation of the Sherman Act "through compelling direct and circumstantial evidence that Apple participated in and facilitated a horizontal price-fixing conspiracy," but also that Apple has failed to show the agreements had pro-competitive effects.
The case revolves around Apple conspiring with e-book publishers, since 2009, to raise prices in a scheme to knock off Amazon.

Douglas Engelbart Dies at 88By Dan | Filed in people
Douglas Engelbart, the original designer of the computer mouse as well as a significant visionary for networked computers, died today at the age of 88.
Engelbart was a World War II veteran, where he served overseas as a radar technician. Over the years he dreamed of and created the first mouse, which included a revolutionary change in how user interfaces worked. He patented the X-Y position system in 1970, which essentially is what is still used today to graphically display the movement of the mouse on the screen.
Engelbart was well respected in the early days of the industry when true "research" was conducted, backed largely by government money (NASA, Defense, etc). His concepts, like the mouse, were incorporated by men like Steve Jobs in his creation of the first mouse driven Operating System – the Apple Macintosh in 1984.
From this first mouse, invented decades ago, Engelbart lead us, humanity, away from just a keyboard with a black screen/green text connected to a mainframe. He could see the value of us each having a computer that we could comfortably use, as well as interact with others over a network.
Thank You, Douglas Engelbart. Rest In Peace.
The New York Times has a nice article on him, as well as CNN.
Want Fast Internet? Try Chattanooga!By Dan | Filed in tech news
CBS reports that Chattanooga, Tennessee has the fastest internet connection in America! The reason is because everyone is able to get a gigabyte download speed in the City.
The reason for that is fiber optic lines that can provide anyone in a 600-square-mile area that gig of online speed. To put the gig in perspective, the average American home gets about five megabits of Internet speed. Chattanooga's speed is 200 times faster.
So… If you're a gamer… Consider moving!

A Small Business Which Goes With Health and Wellness7053730
The trend today is joeleavers.com. In the next three years or so, you are able to this industry will be a most important one. We're also slowly seeing that forecast coming true together with the boost in supply and demand of health & wellness products. Among these are nutritious food, gyms, spas, home fitness equipment, personal maintenance systems and shoe. In food alone, we can observe major a change in the best way people eat. We're also now more concious of food ingredients like high fructose corn syrup and mo-sodium glutamate that will be unhealthy for health. Maybe you've also been aware of parabens in personal maintenance systems and cosmetics? So if you're a company person and so are thinking of a fantastic venture, then something health is a very timely one. I believe, a great business starts off with good materials. So as an alternative to creating products, why don't you function as supplier for other businesses and become a provider for end consumers at the same time? Therefore if consumers are going organic, then you can certainly have your very own organic farm. While using the right location and enough and area, you can do this. Among the list of staple items which you are required for operations is farm equipment. Using these machines, it is possible to carry out the different strategies to be carried out in your organic farm. Farm appliances are expensive particularly if are talking quality and durability. It is truly a great investment. Hopefully, yearly 3 to 5 years, you'll receive an outstanding return on investment. So just for this one, outside a farm equipment loan from the government agency or through credit companies. Would like to opt for a credit company, then check at different websites if credit companies. Learn about the different loan offerings and payment options that you are at ease with. Be aware with all the details because you require to know the amount the eye is every month. To apply for a farm equipment loan, possessing a a good credit score history is appropriate to your great advantage. That could be very ideal. However, nobody possesses a good credit history. This could be due to mismanagement of finances or challenges which are just unavoidable like being fired or economic crises effects. Working with a low credit score history does not automatically disqualify an individual receiving a loan. Many lending companies would provide adverse credit loan. Such a loan may have collateral. A secured loan swallows a collateral plus an unsecured loan does not. These two can are categorized in the unhealthy credit loan category. Contour farm equipment loan, investigate for that source of money to your other start up costs. Then look into other details such as manpower, packaging, pricing, etc. be sure to prepare your strategic plan for a preliminary activity. Once things are prepared, arehorrified to find that potential business clients and target end consumers likewise. Visualize ways about how it is possible to best advertise your goods that were applied to this look of zija. If you want a adverse credit loan make contact with a unfavorable credit ratings loan service. A lending product for those who have adverse credit isn't a bad thing it simply features a slightly higher interest rate.

Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc., Lehman Brothers Inc. And Lehman Brothers International (Europe) Resolve Intercompany Claims
Milestone Agreements Resolve Billions in Intercompany Claims
Clears Path for Additional Distributions to LBI and LBIE Customers and LBHI Creditors
NEW YORK and LONDON, Feb. 26, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The Trustee for Lehman Brothers Inc. ("LBI"), Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. and certain of its debtor and non-debtor subsidiaries ("LBHI"), and the Joint Administrators of Lehman Brothers International ( Europe) ("LBIE") have entered into two separate agreements settling all intercompany claims between LBI on the one part, and LBHI and LBIE on the other part. The LBI Trustee today filed motions seeking approval of the agreements with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court.
These separate agreements settle billions of dollars of complex intercompany claims and liabilities between the parties. The settlement agreements also provide a final resolution of all legal and factual issues regarding intercompany relationships between LBI and LBHI and between LBI and LBIE, avoiding the need for costly litigation. The settlement agreements, along with a number of related motions, are subject to approval by the U.S. Bankruptcy Judge in the LBI Securities Investor Protection Act (SIPA) proceeding, the Honorable James M. Peck, and in the case of the agreement between LBI and LBIE, an order of the English High Court.Upon approval, the settlements will allow LBI's Trustee to proceed with plans to allocate and distribute sufficient cash and securities to LBI's customer claimants, including LBHI and LBIE, to enable the LBI Trustee to satisfy valid customer claims in full. This is a critical step in obtaining significant value to return to LBIE's counterparties included in its Omnibus Claim and to LBHI's creditors. As part of the resolution, the parties have also agreed to a protocol for the settlement of claims remaining against the LBI estate as the Trustee focuses on liquidating remaining assets and the allowance of general estate claims. Pursuant to the protocol following court approvals, the Trustee will file periodic, public reports regarding the general estate with the Bankruptcy Court.

Sponsored Deals
They're like ads, but good.
OK, yes, companies pay a little something to be Sponsored Deals. But we don't allow just any old crap in this section. Sponsored Deals are proposed to us by other retailers, manufacturers, and even other daily deal sites. If we find the deal compelling enough that our members will appreciate us bringing it to their attention, we'll feature it here. Believe it or not, we have a reputation to uphold. If your store would like to be considered for this space, please contact us for details. But if your deal is lame, or sketchy, no amount of money will let you buy your way in.
Community Deals
It's whatever you want it to be.
Pretty much, anyway. This is where you find the deals that wooters like you have ferreted out and brought to light. We're thinking it'll turn into a massive database of discounted products from around the Web, constantly expanding to absorb the newest deals from the very moment their prices are slashed, with each deal immediately rated by hordes of savvy voters to spotlight the very greatest deals in the world today. Hey, we can dream, right?
We use a fancy algorithm to determine which deals are catching the most buzz – they're under the Popular tab, which is the default view of this section. You can look for the most popular deals today, this week, or this month. The Fresh tab features the most recently submitted deals, so that's where to look for deals that everybody else doesn't know about yet. And the Search bar does what a Search bar does, only, uh, much wootier! Yeah! Right on!

They probably won't bite.
Organic bullets? Vegetarian haggis? Cheap tickets to Antarctica? The best high-performance sweatsocks for under $100? If you're looking for a deal that doesn't appear to show up in our Community Deals section, throw the question to your fellow cheapskates. Or answer a question for one of your fellow cheapskates. Or vote for your favorite questions, or your favorite answers, or… maybe we should call this section "Ask, Answer, Comment On, And Vote In The Community", but that won't fit on the page.

Results tagged ' Greg Maddux '
Yanks go Cy, Cy, Cy for third time
The Yankees are amid a stretch of facing three former Cy Young Award winners in a row. They faced the Tigers' Max Scherzer Monday night (and beat him, 2-1), were paired against David Price Tuesday night and are scheduled against Justin Verlander Wednesday night.
According to the Elias Sports Bureau, this marks third time in franchise history that the Yankees have faced former Cy Young-winning starting pitchers in three consecutive games. The most recent period was June 8-10, 2001 when they went 1-2 against the Braves' Tom Glavine, John Smoltz and Greg Maddux. They also went 1-2 spanning the All-Star break in 1999, losing July 11 at Shea Stadium to the Mets' Orel Hershiser, then going 1-1 July 15-16 against Atlanta's Glavine and Maddux at Yankee Stadium.
Each of the Yankees' last 15 games has been decided by two or fewer runs. They are 9-6 over that stretch. According to Elias, it is the club's longest such streak of games with a final margin of no more than two runs. The previous high was 12 straight games by the old Highlanders from Sept. 10-20, 1904. Elias also noted that it is the longest such streak in the majors since a 16-game run by the 1975 Orioles in 1975. At 37-25 (.597), the Yankees have the majors' best record in games decided by two or fewer runs.
The Nationals claimed left-handed reliever Matt Thornton off waivers from the Yankees. Thornton, who was 0-3 with a 2.55 ERA in 46 games totaling 24 2/3 innings, could have been taken back by the Yankees, but by letting him go they free up some $4 million for next year's payroll. The Yankees recalled lefthander Rich Hill from Triple A Scranton to take Thornton's place. Manager Joe Girardi said that lefthander David Huff and Hill will inherit Thornton's lefty specialist role.
Torre steps into immortality
COOPERSTOWN, N.Y. — The annual pilgrimage to baseball's mythical birthplace never ceases in its appeal. It provides the chance to reflect on all that is good about the game as the Hall of Fame opens its doors to a new class of immortals.
And what a class in 2014! Former Yankees manager Joe Torre has more than 300 friends and relatives scattered all over this area to witness his induction Sunday alongside fellow managers Bobby Cox and Tony La Russa as well as pitchers Greg Maddux and Tom Glavine, the longtime Braves teammates, and first baseman Frank Thomas, one of two players with that name in town.
The other Frank Thomas, who was with the original Mets of 1962, is also here signing autographs on Main Street with Hall of Famers and non-Hall of Famers like Darryl Strawberry and Pete Rose. Also John Rocker, although I must say I have no idea why anyone would want his autograph.
Torre was feted Saturday night by the Yankees and Major League Baseball at a private party in a local brewery. Commissioner Bud Selig and Yankees managing partner Hal Steinbrenner spoke glowingly of Torre's contributions to the game and the franchise. Joe was gracious in his remarks, a sort of test run for the big speech he will on stage at the Clark Sports Center Sunday.
The city is abuzz with former Yankees here and there, including Hall of Famers Whitey Ford, Dave Winfield, Phil Niekro, Wade Boggs, Rickey Henderson and Goose Gossage. (Yogi Berra, not feeling well after a recent fall, canceled at the last minute. His boyhood friend from St. Louis, Joe Garagiola, also could not travel here to accept his Buck O'Neill Award Saturday at Doubleday Field but sent a taped message.)
Others here to witness Joe's induction include actor-comedian Billy Crystal, Yanks chief operating officer Lonn Trost, Gene Michael, Willie Randolph, Ron Guidry, Lee Mazzilli and others. Among the Hall of Famers who have longstanding relationships with Torre are Bob Gibson and Sandy Koufax, plus Tim McCarver, last year's Ford C. Frick Award winner for broadcasting.
This year's Frick Award winner, Eric Nadel, the Brooklyn-born Texas Rangers radio voice, gave a lusty speech at Saturday's ceremony. There was also a wonderful acceptance speech by New Yorker magazine's ageless (93 actually) Roger Angell, this year's J.G. Taylor Spink Award winner for baseball writing.
This is perfect company for Torre, whose 12 seasons at the helm of the Yankees continued the franchise's connection with success. He turned around the attitudes of many a Yankees hater from 1996 through 2007. His ascension into the Hall's gallery is long overdue.
Yankees keep their manager for four more years
Well, that was quick. All things considered, the Yankees were fortunate to keep their manager in place in a relatively quick period of time during an off-season that promises to be busy. Surely a fourth year on the contract extension was a deal doer. Other clubs – notably the Cubs, Nationals and Reds – as well as a television network or two may have had designs on Girardi, but four-year contracts at seven figures per annum are hard to come by, so the Yankees were able to retain the guy they wanted to continue running the club before his current pact was to expire Oct. 31.
Girardi was deserving of the extension. Even with the World Series championship of 2009 at the top of his accomplishments, Joe's effort with the 2013 Yankees may have been his best work. It certainly was his most arduous. With the abundance of injuries the Yankees had to deal with, just running out a healthy lineup every day was an ordeal for the manager.
Much was made in the media of Girardi's Illinois background and ties to the Cubs as a fan while growing up and as a catcher as a player being a temptation for him to go off to Wrigley Field. On a conference phone hookup Wednesday, Girardi emphasized it was a family decision. Mom and the kids were A-OK with the Yankees and New York. The Girardi's have made solid roots in Westchester County.
And let us not forget that Joe Girardi despite all the Cubs history has become a part of Yankees history as well. He fits in very well come Old Timers' Day as a player who was part of three World Series championship clubs as a player (1996, '98-99) as well as his one as a manager. He pointed out that in his conversation with the family that getting to manage in the same place for 10 years, which would be the case if Girardi fulfills the whole contract, is pretty special.
Over his first six years as Yankees manager the club has led the major leagues in home runs (1,236), ranked second in runs (4,884) and seventh in hits (8,836) and batting average (.265). The Yankees have also committed the fewest errors (484) over the span with a majors-best .986 team fielding percentage.
In 2013, Girardi did a good job getting the beaten-up Yankees to an 85-77 finish and third-place tie in the American League East with the Orioles. He got his 500th win as Yankees manager May 10 at Kansas City. The club made just 69 errors in 2013, the third-lowest total in the majors and tying the franchise record for fewest in a season (also 2010). Their .988 fielding percentage set a franchise record, fractionally better than their .988 mark in 2010.
In 2009, Girardi became the ninth Yankees manager to win a World Series, and just the fourth to do so in his postseason managerial debut, joining Casey Stengel (1949), Ralph Houk (1961) and Bob Lemon (1978). Girardi also joined Houk and Billy Martin as the only men to win World Series for the club as players and managers.
Girardi was named the 32nd manager of the Yankees Oct. 30, 2007, becoming the 17th Yankees manager to have played for the club and the fourth former Yankees catcher to skipper the team, joining Bill Dickey, Houk and Yogi Berra.
In 2006, Girardi was named National League Manager of the Year by the Baseball Writers' Association of America after guiding the Marlins to a 78-84 record in his first season as a big league manager. With the award, he matched the Astros' Hal Lanier (1986) and the Giants' Dusty Baker (1993) as the only managers to win the honor in their managerial debuts.
In 15 major-league seasons as a catcher, Girardi played for the Cubs (1989-92 and 2000-02), Rockies (1993-95), Yankees (1996-99) and Cardinals (2003) and batted .267 with 454 runs, 186 doubles, 36 home runs and 422 RBI in 4,127 at-bats over 1,277 games. He had a .991 career fielding percentage and threw out 27.6 percent of potential base stealers. Girardi was named to the National League All-Star team in 2000 with the Cubs.
With the Yankees, Girardi was behind the plate for Dwight Gooden's hitter May 14, 1996 against the Mariners and David Cone's perfect game July 18, 1999 against the Expos. In World Series Game 6 against the Braves in 1996, Girardi tripled in the game's first run in a three-run third inning off Greg Maddux as the Yankees clinched their first championship since 1978 with a 3-2 victory. He has a .566 winning percentage with a 642-492 record as a manager and is 21-17 in postseason play.
Andy Pettitte: He always took the ball
The day I arrived at what was the last spring training the Yankees had at Fort Lauderdale, Fla., in 1995, then manager Buck Showalter drove up to me in a golf cart on the sidelines of the main field and said, "Hop in; I want you to see someone."
He drove to me to one of the back fields where two pitchers were warming up. I have long forgotten who one of them was, but the one I remember was Andy Pettitte. He wasn't as cut as he would later become; he still had some love handles, but one pitch after the other sunk with stinging action.
Showalter, who grew up in the Florida panhandle and attended Mississippi State University, had an affinity for Southern players. Still does, probably, so I said to him, "Okay, which is it? Louisiana or Arkansas?"
"Texas," Buck said. "You can't quote me on this, but this guy might win 15 games for us this year."
"Pretty tall order for a rookie," I said.
Showalter missed on his prediction. Pettitte won 12 games, not 15, but he helped stabilize a rotation snagged by an injury to Jimmy Key, who finished second to David Cone, then with the Royals, in the previous year's American League Cy Young Award race, and was a key ingredient in the Yankees' reaching post-season play for the first time in 15 years, as the newfangled wild card.
Pettitte's victory total was second on the staff only to another former Cy Young Award winner, Jack McDowell, who was 15-10. Pettitte's 12-9 record and 4.17 ERA was not overwhelming, but it was good enough for him to finish third in the AL Jackie Robinson Rookie of the Year Award voting behind winner Marty Cordova of the Twins and runner-up Garret Anderson of the Angels, a couple of outfielders.
The lefthander started Game 2 of the Division Series against the Mariners at Yankee Stadium and was not involved in the decision, a 7-5 Yankees victory on a two-run home run in the 15th inning by Jim Leyritz that gave them a 2-0 lead in the series before they went 0-for-Seattle.
With Showalter gone after turning down a two-year contract offer from George Steinbrenner, Pettitte had to prove himself all over again to a new manager, Joe Torre, in 1996. It wasn't easy, either. Torre at first thought Pettitte, a deeply religious person, was a bit soft. Yet start after start, Pettitte kept the Yankees in games, and he ended up winning 21 of them and becoming a Cy Young Award candidate, although he finished second in the voting to the Blue Jays' Pat Hentgen.
Pettitte never came closer to winning that award, but even better he won over Torre with 8 1/3 gutty innings of shutout ball in Game 5 of the World Series at Atlanta, a 1-0 Yankees victory that put them up 3-2 and in position to take the Series two nights later, which they did. From that point on, Torre never questioned Pettitte's toughness again.
Here is what Joe said about Andy the other day:
"Andy took the ball every five days, and if he had it his way, he'd get it more often than that. What's really unusual about him is that a lot of times pitchers are more consumed with themselves. Andy was probably the consummate team player, especially for a pitcher. He was so concerned not only about the day he pitched but he always had his arm around a young guy in between starts.
"He has been a huge favorite of mine because he's such a stand up guy, and he hasn't changed from day one. He was a great teammate, and I think that's why he won so many games. The guys that play behind him understand how intense he is, and it becomes contagious.
"I think the impact he had on the teams we had in the mid-to-late 1990's was enormous even though he was never the guy in the spotlight. He liked the fact that he wasn't the No. 1 guy even though I trusted him like a No. 1 guy. But he didn't have an ego that dictated he needed all that attention.
"He did a great job of channeling his energy into competing, and he was about as consistent a performer as anybody in terms of getting your money's worth. He glued our staff together. When you're performing with the same people year-in and year-out, it's always nice to have that security blanket. He was certainly that guy on the pitching staff."
For other managers, the Astros' Jimy Williams and Phil Garner and the Yankees' Joe Girardi, Pettitte proved just as reliable in a career he brought to a halt this week. There were no tears at Friday's announcement. Pettitte thought long and hard about this decision, and when he said "My heart isn't in it anymore," that's all he needed to say. Once a player no longer has the stomach for the game, it is time to go.
That Game 5 of the 1996 World Series four nights after the Braves handed his head to him in Game 1 remains the centerpiece of Pettitte's Yankees career, but there were plenty of other times when he gave the Yankees everything they needed from a pitcher.
He was the Most Valuable Player of the 2001 AL Championship Series when he won both his starts and held a Seattle team that had won 116 games during the regular season to four runs in 14 1/3 innings. Even in defeat, Pettitte could be magnificent, such as the Game 6 showdown with the Marlins' Josh Beckett in the 2003 World Series, Andy's last start for the Yankees before signing as a free agent with his hometown Houston club.
Three years later, Pettitte was back with the Yankees reunited with Mariano Rivera, Derek Jeter and Jorge Posada and helped ring in the new Yankee Stadium by winning the clinching games of all three post-season series in 2009 as the team achieved its 27th championship. Last year, he was a Cy Young Award candidate for half the season before a groin injury cost him at least a dozen starts. Now he is the first of the "Core Four" to call it quits.
"Andy was a great teammate and a wonderful guy," Rivera said. "He was a fighter and all about winning, and he was respected by every person in the clubhouse."
"I'm really sad that Andy is going to retire," Posada said."He was so much more than a teammate to me; he was one of my closest friends. I admire everything that he has accomplished as a Yankee, but Andy was someone who always put the team first. I'm going to miss him deeply."
Added Jeter: "It has been a pleasure to play with Andy for all these years, and the Yankees have been fortunate to have him representing the organization both on and off the field. More importantly, it has been an honor to get to know him as a person, and I consider him family. I wish for nothing but happiness for him and his family, as I know how important they are to him."
Of course, it didn't take long for Hall of Fame talk about Pettitte to sprout. Let's give it the five-year wait before getting serious about that. Pettitte has a lot going for him – a won-loss record more than 100 games over .500 at 240-138, a post-season record 19 victories, and winning five rings in eight World Series overall. He also has some things going against him – allowing more hits than innings pitched, a rather high ERA (3.88) and three more dangerous capital letters, HGH, which he admitted to using after his name surfaced in the Mitchell Report.
His path to Cooperstown won't be smooth. Over the next few years, the ballot will contain the names of starting pitchers superior to him in terms of statistics – Greg Maddux, Tom Glavine, John Smoltz, Randy Johnson, Roger Clemens, Pedro Martinez, even Curt Schilling and Mike Mussina.
"I've never considered myself a Hall of Famer," Pettitte said. "I guess I've gotten close to having those kinds of credentials or guys wouldn't be talking about it."
The writers who do the voting will be talking about him for a while. But to Yankees fans, Pettitte will always be in their personal Halls of Fame for his competitiveness and remarkable consistency.
No reward to CC for 21 Ws
Yankees fans have reason to be upset that CC Sabathia did not win the American League Cy Young Award that was given instead by the Baseball Writers' Association to the Mariners' Felix Hernandez. Heck, the big guy didn't even finish second as the Rays' David Price was the runner-up.
One of the arguments made last year when the Royals' Zack Greinke won in the AL with only 16 victories and the Giants' Tim Lincecum in the National League with merely 15 was that there were no 20-game winners, so the field was much more open.
That was not the case this year. Sabathia was 21-7 and had plenty of other good numbers, too, including a 3.18 ERA, which is not shabby for a guy pitching in the AL East and hitter-friendly Yankee Stadium. That Hernandez won despite posting a record of 13-12 seems absurd until you look a bit deeper into his season and not just at the statistics that a lot of people believe are too esoteric but to which the increasing numbers-conscious are devoted.
Hernandez led the league in ERA (2.27) and innings (249 2/3) and was second in strikeouts (232), only one behind league leader Jered Weaver of the Angels. These are not intangible stats. They are pretty tangible, one might even say traditional.
Think of how Hernandez felt last year. He went 19-5 and couldn't beat out Greinke. Hernandez said Thursday from his home in Venezuela that he did not know how to gauge this year's balloting after what happened last year. "Are they going to tell me that I didn't win enough games this year but that I won too many last year?" he asked me.
I told him one year to the next is different, which I still believe even though the recent voting indicates a trend may be developing. I hope not. The day when victories aren't considered the important part of the pitching equation is the day you might as well stop keeping score. I mean, if pitching victories don't mean anything, why are they still kept? Imagine trying to tell the Major League Players Association that pitching victories won't be totaled any more? Good luck explaining that to the union.
It is interesting that the list of pitchers who have 300 or more career victories are all in the Hall of Fame except for those not yet eligible, whose names are Greg Maddux, Roger Clemens, Tom Glavine and Randy Johnson. It would seem that winning a lot of games is a big deal, huh?
This is all coming from someone who thought Hernandez was the best pitcher he saw this year. No knock on CC, who I probably would have voted for had I been on the committee, but look what Hernandez did in his three starts against the Yankees: 3-0, 0.35 ERA. That is not a misprint. He allowed 1 run, 16 hits and 8 walks with 31 strikeouts in 26 innings.
The only reason he did not pitch 27 innings for a third complete game against the Yankees was that Mariners manager Don Wakamatsu did not let him finish the Aug. 20 game at the Stadium while working on a four-hit shutout with 11 Ks. Writers in the press box can recall my reaction to that. I was beside myself, howling that Wakamatsu's move was akin to grabbing the brush from Picasso before he could complete his painting. It was absolute disregard for artistic endeavor, and the manager deserved to be fired, which he eventually was.
Remember, though, that was a night Hernandez won, not one of the many games in which he pitched splendidly and either lost or got hung with a no-decision because of such scant run support by an offense that scratched out an average of 3.2 runs per game. The Mariners' run support for Hernandez was 2.4 per game. Seattle scored two runs or fewer in 15 of his 34 starts. He was 2-10 with a 2.84 ERA in those games. In his nine no decisions, Hernandez pitched to a 1.92 ERA.
I kept in mind that in 1972 Steve Carlton won the NL Cy Young Award with a 27-10 record for a Phillies club whose overall mark was 59-97 and also averaged only 3.2 runs per game. The point of view of Sabathia supporters, of which there were three who gave him first-place approval on the ballot, came Tuesday from none other than this year's NL winner, Roy Halladay, who had the same victory total as CC.
"Obviously, Felix's numbers are very, very impressive," Doc said. "But I think, ultimately, you look at how guys are able to win games. Sometimes the run support isn't there, but you sometimes just find ways to win games. I think the guys that are winning and helping their teams deserve a strong look, regardless of how good Felix's numbers are. It definitely could go either way; it's going to be interesting. But I think when teams bring guys over, they want them to, ultimately at the end of the day, help them win games."
It is hard to argue with that logic.
Cy Young holiday for Halladay
No American League club was happier to see Roy Halladay cross over into the National League this year than the Yankees. The one bad thing for the Yanks about Halladay going from the Blue Jays to the Phillies was that it triggered Philadelphia trading Cliff Lee back to the AL with the Mariners.
But it was good riddance for Halladay, who regularly thumped the Yankees to the tune of 18-7 with a 2.98 ERA, seven complete games (including three shutouts) and 195 strikeouts in 38 appearances (36 starts) covering 253 1/3 innings. Halladay did not find the new Yankee Stadium to his liking. He was 1-1 with a 6.16 ERA there in 2009 after having gone 7-4 with a 2.97 ERA in the old Stadium.
Halladay had a remarkable first season in the NL this year and was rewarded Tuesday by winning the Cy Young Award. He became the fifth pitcher to win the award in both leagues, having won in the AL with Toronto in 2003, and the 16th multiple winner.
The righthander was in Mexico on vacation when he received word of his election. I had the opportunity to tell him how popular he is in press boxes throughout North America because it is an extremely pleasurable experience to watch him pitch. He is a pro's pro with no wasted motion and a focus that is sadly lacking among starting pitchers of this period.
"That's very satisfying to hear," the man called "Doc" said. "I hope the fans feel the same way."
Halladay was the 13th unanimous choice in NL voting as he received all 32 first-place votes from two writers in each league city to score a perfect 224 points, based on a tabulation system that rewards seven points for first place, four for second, three for third, two for fourth and one for fifth. The Baseball Writers' Association of America expanded the Cy Young Award ballot from three to five pitchers this year.
Halladay, 33, posted a 21-10 record with a 2.44 ERA in 33 starts and led the league in victories, innings (250 2/3), complete games (9) and shutouts (4) and was second in strikeouts (219). He pitched a perfect game May 29 at Miami in a 1-0 victory over the Marlins. Balloting takes place prior to the start of post-season play, so his no-hitter over the Reds in Game 1 of the NL Division Series was not a factor in the voting.
Cardinals righthander Adam Wainwright (20-11, 2.42 ERA), who finished third in 2009, was the runner-up with 122 points based on 28 votes for second, three for third and one for fifth. Rockies righthander Ubaldo Jimenez (19-8, 2.88 ERA) was third with 90 points. Halladay, Wainwright and Jimenez were the only pitchers named on all the ballots. Righthanders Tim Hudson (17-9, 2.83 ERA) of the Braves and Josh Johnson (11-6, 2.30 ERA) of the Marlins rounded out the top five. In all, 11 pitchers received votes.
Halladay joined the company of Roger Clemens, Randy Johnson, Pedro Martinez and Gaylord Perry as Cy Young Award winners in both leagues. Clemens won six in the AL (1986, '87 and '91 with the Red Sox; 1997 and '98 with the Blue Jays; 2001 with the Yankees) and one in the NL (2004 with the Astros). Johnson won four in the NL (1999 through 2002 with the Diamondbacks) and one in the AL (1995 with the Mariners). Martinez won two in the AL (1999 and 2000 with the Red Sox) and one in the NL (1997 with the Expos). Perry won one in the AL (1972 with the Indians) and one in the NL (1978 with the Padres).
Unanimous winners in the NL were Sandy Koufax all three times he won and Greg Maddux twice among his four victories, along with Johnson, Bob Gibson, Steve Carlton, Rick Sutcliffe, Dwight Gooden, Orel Hershiser and Jake Peavy. There has been a unanimous winner in the AL eight times: Clemens, Martinez and Johan Santana twice each, Denny McLain and Ron Guidry.
It marked the seventh time a Phillies pitcher won the award, including Carlton four times. The other winners from Philadelphia were John Denny and Steve Bedrosian. In addition to Koufax, Maddux, Carlton, Clemens, Martinez, Johnson, Perry, Gibson, McLain and Santana, other pitchers to have won the award more than once were Tom Seaver and Jim Palmer three times each, Bret Saberhagen, Tom Glavine and Tim Lincecum twice apiece.
Halladay is in pretty heady company and deserves to be.

Kimi Raikkonen, the least garrulous of Formula One drivers, is the man everyone is talking about ahead of Sunday's Belgian Grand Prix at his favourite Spa-Francorchamps circuit.Red Bull's Sebastian Vettel may be well on his way to a fourth successive title, with four wins already and the second half of the season favouring him in the past, but Raikkonen's future has hogged the recent headlines.The Finn started the August break as a favourite to join Vettel at Red Bull next year but now the chatter is about a different shade of red and a possible surprise return to glamour team Ferrari if he does not stay with Lotus.
There are certain circuits where everything seems to run smoothly and then there are other circuits where I have no luck at all
Kimi Raikkonen, Lotus driver
Raikkonen, champion with Ferrari in 2007 before making way at the end of 2009 for Spain's Fernando Alonso and taking two years out of the sport, is being touted as a replacement for Brazilian Felipe Massa.The Finn's manager Steve Robertson has ruled out Red Bull and said Ferrari are an option, even if Maranello has remained tight-lipped, and whatever the reality Spa is sure to give Raikkonen the stage to impress.Few have any doubt about what he can offer, with the 33-year-old second in the standings, 38 points behind Vettel and chasing a record 28th successive scoring finish.Spa, a layout steeped in history with the stomach-wrenching slingshot through Eau Rouge and the longest and one of the fastest laps on the calendar, has been good to Raikkonen over the years come rain or shine.The 'Iceman' has won there four times with McLaren and Ferrari and, after five second places this season following his season-opening victory in Australia, is gunning for another visit to the top step to boost his title challenge."There are certain circuits where everything seems to run smoothly and then there are other circuits where I have no luck at all," he told the team website.
"Of course we will do our very best to win this race."I have been on the top step of the podium a few times at Spa and I want to be there again."

Another good deal for OS builds! It looks like AVEA Turkey has released OS 126.96.36.1990 and 18.104.22.1686 for devices other than the BlackBerry Torch 9800. Next one spotted goes out to the BlackBerry Bold 9780 and BlackBerry Bold 9700. OS 6.0 has been a bit shaky on the Bold 9700, but I'm hoping we get some sort of stability this time around. As for the Bold 9780, it seems as though the updates get better and better, as the device does come with the appropriate 512MB of memory which should have been required for OS 6.0 to begin with. Any way, download links below to download the updates officially!

Late summer is a transition period, and sometimes that's when our gardens yield the most. I also crave heartier meals as the nights start to cool down. Here are a few dishes that combine some early fall harvest fruits with summer's last vegetables. There are many variations of this drink, some with apple juice and some with grapefruit juice. Others even include coffee. I love this simple, slow-sipping cocktail served very cold. —Rori TrovatoGet the recipe for Late Summer CocktailsRecipe courtesy of Rori Trovato

Reiki Circles
The Buddhist practice of Reiki is coming to UNH Health Services this October 8th! Free classes will be available to students and employees once a month, starting in October and concluding in April. No registration is required! The spiritual practice of Reiki is used to promote stress relief by using life force energy.
Reiki treats people's minds, bodies, spirits and emotions by radiating energy within. The practice revolves around the idea that if one's life force energy is low, a person is more likely to become ill, and if their life force energy is high, a person is more likely to be healthy and have a better overall well-being. Reiki is a safe practice and works hand in hand with treatments for various illnesses. A Reiki practitioner will lay their hands on a patient in various spots on the body called the chakras to promote energy healing and spiritual balance. In order for Reiki to work, a patient must be fully involved in their healing process. Visit Health Services for your free Reiki session!

Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud
It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:
- It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
- If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
- Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.
