Enjoy Your Life! Build Your Business! Have Your Way!
OK, I'm gullible. Just in case any of you are too I thought I'd share my experience.
I got a call from Linda Galen's assistant saying how they would like to feature my stuff on The Journal with Joan Lunden in an upcoming natural products segment and could I call Linda Galen the lead producer. I did and after playing phone tag for a while we got down to it. She told me how my website and my story was really fascinating and how it would be perfect for this segment and how it was going to be viewed by 60 million people on PBS and then be shown for one year in limited markets and blah blah blah on lifetime and oxygen and cnbc. Then she lets me know that I would have to help with production costs and that would be $26,400 oh and can you overnight your complete product line and we'll have to decide by Monday.
I told her I needed to think about and talk to some people before I could decide (this is not the kind of money we have but I could maybe, just maybe borrow that kind of money if it was a good business investment)
Then I had to run out and do errands while my mind is churning about scaling up and stuff. When I got home I googled it and sure enough it's a scam. But not before I overnighted her my whole product line....errghh I'm a sucker!
here's a link to the scam http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20100924/12150911158/world-progres...
here's a link to their website http://thejournalol.com/
Now you know!

Good Morning, Nieves! All the best to you, too!
Thank you for the link, and for notifying fellow Indie's of the scam. I appreciate it. You are no "sucker" you are a smart business person for Googling!!!!
First, HUGS to you, Nieves! I happens and that is ok. DON"T beat yourself up and don't consider yourself a sucker. Look at it this way...lesson learned! You may have lost a few products but you didn't give the huge amount of money for production. That was a dodged bullet thanks to you googling. I think we all would probably be excited and consider the proposal if it were presented and the name dropping thing was happening. We all look for that "big break".
Thanks for the head-up. I for one have never heard of this one.

Hi Nieves,
Sorry to hear about your experience. Earlier this year I did get a call and a phone interview with the same people but wasn't asked for money or to send my product line. Maybe they are stepping up their game, I don't know. This just proves we wear one more hat as small business owner..Private Investigator.
Be well,
My sister reported them to PBS giving the name number and extension of the woman who contacted her twice.
She also is considering reporting them to the Attorney General.
Well, it is nice to have friends at IBN to know and be able to share our experiences. Have a nice weekend everyone
Thank you all for your thoughtful responses! It's great to have a group of peers to vent to/with.
All the best to all of you!
This has happened to me many times. Whenever you get an inquiry like this, the first thing you MUST do is cut to the chase. Say something like,
"OK, if I decide to do this with you, will I have to sign a contract?"
The answer will be "yes."
They you say,
"Oh, super! Why don't you email me the contract and then based on that, I can let you know if I want to move forward and send you samples. Let me give you my email address." Do you have a pen?"
If they try to talk you out of looking at their contact, there's your first warning sign. Heed it.
Wish them a happy day and say adios.
Move on with your dream and let them try to figure out an honest way to make money.
If they do send you a contact, look immediately for the part where it says what your obligations are. Bingo!
Then look for the part where they put all those promises about PBS and millions of eye balls in writing. Don't see it? Bingo! That's your second warning sign.
Spend all of 5 minutes assessing the opportunity, and then either trash it or investigate further. But this way, you know what your obligations are before you spend much time and before you send any products to this type of pond scum.
Hope this helps.

Heed the Heat During Summer Workouts
SATURDAY, June 29 (HealthDay News) -- People who exercise or play sports outdoors during the summer need to take steps to avoid heat injury, especially heat stroke, an expert says.
"Not every case of heat stroke is fatal, but some cases are," Stacey Snelling, associate dean of American University's School of Education, Teaching and Health, said in a university news release. "Once you have experienced heat stroke, you need to be even more careful, as you are more susceptible to it because you have ruined your hypothalamus, the part of your brain that regulates body temperature."
She offered some tips for people who are physically active outdoors during the summer.
Exercise during the coolest time of the day. "Many people think the evening is the coolest time of day, but actually, it is early in the morning just before the sun rises. If your schedule will not accommodate an early morning workout, wait until at least 5 p.m.," Snelling said.
Choose the right type of clothing. "Clothing choice is important. Wear light colors as they reflect light, and items made from moisture-wicking material, not cotton, which absorbs sweat and feels heavy when saturated. Also, wear as little clothing as possible," Snelling recommended.
Ease into outdoor summer activity. "Acclimatization is how our bodies gradually adjust to the heat. Take it slow the first couple of weeks, gradually increasing the intensity of your workout -- but listen to your body. If you start feeling sick or dizzy, stop immediately to rest, cool down and hydrate," Snelling advised.
Stay hydrated. "Drink water while you are active, but also, weigh yourself before you exercise outdoors, then again after you are done. Drink enough water to replace what you lost during your activity -- one pint of water for every pound you lose," Snelling said.
Use sunscreen. "Numerous brands make light-feeling and sweat-resistant sport sunblock formulas that won't run in your eyes," Snelling said. "If you have long hair, wear it up so that the sweat on your neck can better evaporate to keep you cool."

Someone mentioned that whether or not you like Robert Rodriguez and Frank Miller's SIN CITY came down to whether or not your Liberal or Conservative. Conservatives, he said, were more likely to embrace the film.
I didn't much care for it but I think your political d'ruthers are irrelevant with regard to SIN CITY.
I'm as Liberal as any anti-crypto fascist zombie brigade-bashing elitist snob can be. I'll fight the neocon Death Cult so long as I have breath in my body and wiggle to my fingers.

Results tagged ' Texas Rangers '
Hall Monitor: Hot Stove Around the Corner
By Trevor Hayes
Not much is left of 2010 and even less remains of the baseball season. With the Rookies of the Year, Cy Youngs and Manager of the Year Awards doled out this week, two awards remain – the League MVPs. The remnants of the season that was haven't stopped a flurry of action building toward 2011.
Classic impact: Monday saw a pair of new-bloods honored with the Rookie of the Year Awards. And for the third time in history, both players helped lead their club to the World Series. The Giants' Buster Posey and Rangers' Neftali Feliz were the first pair since Fernando Valenzuela and Dave Righetti in 1981 for the Yankees and Dodgers. The first pair was Gil McDougald and Hall of Famer Willie Mays in 1951 for the Yankees and Giants, respectively.
Seven is Three's Company: Your National League Cy Young Award winner, author of two no-hitters – one a perfect game and the other the second ever thrown in the postseason – is Roy Halladay. The Doc's second Cy Young shows he is among the game's elite, but he remains five behind the all-time lead in that category. His team however, just became one of only three teams with at least seven Cy Young Awards. Hallday is joined in Phillies history by Hall of Famer Steve Carlton (four), Steve Bedrosian and John Denny (one each).
Interestingly enough, the other two clubs with seven are also NL teams. The Braves racked up seven with Greg Maddux (three), Tom Glavine (two), Hall of Famer Warren Spahn and John Smoltz (one each). And the Dodgers out-rank all major league teams with nine Cy Young Award winners: Hall of Famers Sandy Koufax (three) and Don Drysdale (one), along with Eric Gagne, Orel Hershiser, Mike Marshall, Don Newcombe and Fernando Valenzuela (one each).
Nine years is a heck of a start: Minnesota's Ron Gardenhire won his first Manager of the Year Award, and Twins fans think it's about time. Gardy had previously finished second in voting five times. His teams have won 90 games five times and he is the first manger in history to win six division titles in his first nine years. With 803 career wins, only five managers had more wins in their first nine seasons than Gardenhire. All five now call Cooperstown home: Sparky Anderson (863), Al Lopez (836), Joe McCarthy (828), Earl Weaver (812) and Frank Chance (810). Current Angels manager Mike Scioscia, also had exactly 803 wins through his first nine seasons.
Hot Stove action: While the heat really turns up around the Winter Meetings, a least one big trade has already gone down. All-Star utility man Omar Infante is taking his talents to South Beach while slugging second baseman Dan Uggla shifts to Atlanta. Losing an All-Star who can play almost any position on the field is big, but the Braves may have picked up a steal. Uggla owns the third-best batting average of anyone at Turner Field since it opened in 1997 at .354. Only Albert Pujols and Barry Bonds have hit better.
But batting average aside, Uggla's best skill is his power. He's the first second baseman to produce four 30-home run seasons, let alone consecutively. And among the first five years of any middle infielder's career, Uggla's 154 home runs are tops. Three MVP-wining Hall of Famers round out the top five, with 500-home run club member Ernie Banks second (136), Joe Gordon third (125) and Cal Ripken Jr. fifth (108). Nomar Garciaparra is fourth with 117.
King Felix's Mariners vs. Lefty's Phils: Announced Thursday was the American League Cy Young winner, Seattle's Felix Hernandez. The honor continues a trend of moving away from wins in the voting. In fact, the AL wins leader has won only five of the last nine Cy Young Awards.
With the lowest win total for a Cy Young winner ever, King Felix and his team set a new precedent. Previously, Steve Carlton's 1972 Phillies were the worst team to boast a Cy Young winner. While the Hall of Fame lefty lead the league with an incredible 27 wins, his Phillies won 59 games – a .378 win percentage. This season, run support torpedoed Hernandez, who went 13-12, while Seattle posted a winning percentage of .377.
Catching up with the Hall of Famers: Drafted in 1978 and debuting in 1981 with the Phillies, Ryne Sandberg is returning to Philadelphia. After four seasons managing in the Cubs' farm system, the 2010 Pacific Coast League Manager of the Year was hired to manage the Phillies' Triple-A affiliate. Starting next season, Ryno will head the Lehigh Valley IronPigs as he continues his quest to pilot a big league club.
Stan Musial made news this week as the Cardinals legend was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by President Barack Obama. The St. Louis faithful campaigned all season to get Stan the Man the nation's highest civilian honor.
Also, two more Hall of Famers grace Studio 42 with Bob Costas tonight. Legendary hitters Tony Gwynn and Rod Carew will drop by to talk baseball and the art of hitting with the veteran broadcaster at 8 p.m. ET on MLB Network.

Hall Monitor: World Series Special
By Trevor Hayes
The World Series is upon us. The whole season comes down to this, and like the previous 105, this one is already living up to the name Fall Classic.
Texas Three-Step?: Just two of the previous seven teams to dig a hole like Texas' current deficit – losing the first two games, each by at least four runs – have come back to win the World Series. The last team to create such a predicament was the 2001 Yankees, who forced a seventh game but ultimately lost to the Diamondbacks. The pair to overcome similarly lopsided losses: Sandy Koufax and Don Drysdale's 1965 Dodgers, who rallied against the Twins, and the 1996 Yankees, who defeated the Braves.
Record line: In three career postseason starts, San Francisco's Matt Cain has given up just one run – an unearned blemish in the sixth inning of the NLDS against the Braves. Cain has compiled a 2-0 record after blanking the Rangers in Game Two. Few other players have begun their postseason careers with three straight games in which they didn't allow an earnie. Giants legends and Hall of Famer Christy Mathewson began his postseason career with what may be the most impressive performance ever: Three straight complete game shutouts in the 1905 World Series – going on three days rest and then two days for the final two. Hall of Famer Waite Hoyt allowed two unearned runs in three starts for the 1921 Yankees- going 2-1 in his first foray into postseason play. And Jon Matlack allowed three unearned while going 2-1 in his first three games before eventually ending with a 2-2 record during the Mets' postseason run in 1973 – his only career postseason.
Cain's 21.1 innings without an earned run to start his postseason career is the sixth longest mark. He sits behind Hoyt (34 innings), Mathewson (28 innings), Red Sox closer Jonathan Papelbon (26.1 innings), Matlack (25 innings) and another Giant Hall of Famer, Carl Hubbell (22 innings).
End of the run: Cliff Lee went 4.2 innings and gave up seven runs in Game One on Wednesday. His numbers are so astounding because he was on an unbelievable run. Before Wednesday's aberration, his career 1.26 postseason ERA ranked third among pitchers with at least five starts. Just Sandy Koufax and Christy Mathewson held an edge over Lee's dominance. As it is now, he still holds a 1.96 ERA and a 7-1 record in nine starts during his playoff career.
Big hits: Nine times in World Series history, a Giant has collected four hits in a game. After his 4-for-5 night in game one, Freddy Sanchez became the latest. The previously four before him is a good group to be in: Hall of Famers Ross Youngs (1923), Fred Lindstrom (1924), Mel Ott (1933) and Monte Irvin (1951).
Pivotal Pitching: The Phils "Feared the Beard" during the NLCS, as Brian Wilson recorded a win or a save in each of the Giants victories. With three saves and a win, he's just the fourth pitcher since saves became an official stat in 1969 to wreak that kind of havoc on an opponent. Hall of Famer Dennis Eckersley, with four saves and an MVP Award 1988 ALCS leads the group, followed by Mitch Williams (two wins and two saves in the 1993 NLCS) and John Wetteland (four saves and an MVP Award in the 1996 World Series).
Checkup up on the stars: Milwaukee Brewers broadcaster and 2003 Ford C. Frick Award winner Bob Uecker was released from the hospital after undergoing successful heart surgery last Tuesday. The broadcaster received a valve replacement earlier this season before surgery to repair a tear at the replacement site earlier this month.
Throughout the postseason, several Hall of Famers have tossed several ceremonial first pitches. Game One of the World Series was no different with Orlando Cepeda, Monte Irvin, Juan Marichal, Willie McCovey and Gaylord Perry tossing the first ball. In Texas, Saturday's game will likewise feature a living legend as Rangers President Nolan Ryan reprises the role after he and Fergie Jenkins took the honors in Game One and Two of the ALCS, respectively.
For a good cause: Red Sox knuckleballer Tim Wakefield was honored before Thursday's game with the Roberto Clemente Award. Beating out nominees from the other 29 clubs in his eighth year of being nominated, Wakefield is honored for combining dedication to giving back to the community with outstanding skills on the baseball field.
Wakefield was honored by Commissioner Bud Selig, widow Clemente's Vera Clemente and his sons Roberto Jr. and Luis. Of the 27 eligible former winners of the Award, 13 are Hall of Famers.

King Juan reigns in New York
By Craig Muder
He strolled through the Yankee Stadium press box Monday evening with a smile that made you stop and take notice.
Juan Marichal turns 73 on Wednesday, but everything about him seems young and vital. He is a living link to baseball's past – and still very much a part of its future.
Marichal is at the American League Championship Series as a broadcaster for ESPN Deportes. He'll remain in the role through the World Series.
The Hall of Fame pitcher, who posted a 2.25 earned-run average in a pair of postseason starts for the Giants during his career, witnessed first-hand the brilliance of Cliff Lee on Monday night. In many ways, it must have been like looking in a mirror.
The right-handed Marichal was the Lee of the 1960s – a strike-throwing machine who piled up huge strikeout numbers while issuing virtually no walks. Marichal led the National League in strikeout-to-walk ratio three times, issued less than two walks per nine innings pitched and finished with a career K/BB ratio of 3.25, the 28th-best figure of all time.
Lee, the Texas Rangers' smooth lefty, led the American League this season with an other-worldly K/BB ratio of 10.28 and has a ratio of 3.10 during his regular-season career. In the postseason, Lee's ratio is 9.4 strikeouts to walks in eight career games.
As for Marichal today, he'll broadcast the action this postseason to legions of fans who not only follow Lee but also the tremendous Latin American stars on the ALCS field like the Yankees' Robinson Cano and the Rangers' Neftali Feliz, both of whom are from Marichal's native Dominican Republic.
Then there's Texas' Vladimir Guerrero, another son of the Dominican who appears on track to join Marichal in the Hall of Fame sometime in the next decade.
Marichal, the first Dominican Republic native to be elected to the Hall of Fame, paved the way for all of them. And the greatness of the Dominican Dandy remains obvious to anyone fortunate enough to cross his path.

A short hop to Cooperstown
By Craig Muder
Several future Hall of Famers will likely take the field in tonight's Game 3 of the American League Championship Series at Yankee Stadium.
But ironically, it's another Cooperstown candidate – one who's not a part of this postseason – who had everybody talking on Sunday.
Elvis Andrus' stellar play in the first two games of the ALCS has both managers raving about the 22-year-old Venezuelan shortstop. Andrus' accomplishments have drawn comparisons to another Venezuelan star – Omar Vizquel – who made the postseason his own personal showcase.
Yankees manager Joe Girardi left no doubt that he believes Vizquel – who spent the 2010 season with the White Sox and is just 201 hits short of 3,000 for his career – is worthy of a bronze Hall of Fame plaque.
"Omar Vizquel, I believe, is a future Hall of Famer," Girardi said at Sunday's Workout Day press conference at Yankee Stadium. "Now we have another young Venezuelan shortstop in Elvis Andrus who's doing something similar.
"He may not be hitting the ball out of the ballpark, but – just like Omar – when he gets on base it creates issues."
Andrus is batting .355 in seven postseason games this year with five runs scored and five stolen bases. Much of the maturity shown by the second-year Rangers' star can be traced to Vizquel, who played with the Rangers in 2009 when Andrus was a rookie.
"I don't think there's any doubt that Omar helped Elvis during his first season," said Rangers manager Ron Washington. "We were fortunate to have someone like Omar on this team."
Vizquel, who will be 44 next April, has played 22 big league seasons but shows no signs of nearing retirement. But if he does not play in another big league game, he would be eligible for Hall of Fame consideration in 2016.
Andrus, meanwhile, appears on his way to extending the tradition of great Venezuelan shortstops – a tradition that includes Luis Aparicio, Davey Concepcion and Vizquel.

Hall Monitor: One Round Down
By Trevor Hayes
The opening round of the playoffs was notable in many ways, from to woes Minnesota has with the Bronx Bombers to the tight, to-the-wire competitions between the Giants and Braves. As October rolls on, today's players write their stories.
The Roys: Bolstered by the second-ever postseason no-hitter and a solid sweep, the Phillies' rotation is set for another run. And coincidentally, two of the team's three NLDS starting pitchers share more than a uniform. If Roy Halladay and Roy Oswalt can help bring another World Series trophy to Philadelphia, they will be the fifth set of same-named starters to do so. The others: The 1998 Yankees with David Cone and David Wells; the 1988 Dodgers with Tim Belcher and Tim Leary; the 1983 Orioles with Mike Boddicker and Mike Flanagan; and the first pair, who not only led the 1948 Indians but also joined the Hall of Fame: Bob Feller and Bob Lemon.
Famous in Philly: Cole Hamels was impressive two years ago, and along with the Roys, he's harnessing that again. He tossed a shutout in the deciding game of the NLDS. In 2008, he marched the Phillies to their first World Series title since 1980, picking up iconic status in the city, four wins and a pair of postseason MVP Awards along the way. His shutout this year was his sixth career playoff win, matching another legend, Hall of Famer Steve Carlton, who served as the team's ace during its glory years in the 1980s.
Texas Boppers meet Bronx Bombers: Over the last week, Ian Kinsler and Nelson Cruz provided plenty of pop to propel the Rangers to an ALCS matchup with the Yankees. The Texas duo each hit three home runs, making them the second pair of teammates to connect for at least three homers apiece while playing five or fewer postseason games, The other pair set their standard in 1928. Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig, with each famous Yankee hitting three homers during a four-game sweep of the Cardinals.
Master Lee: The Ranger's success against the Rays can also be attributed to the man who won two games. Cliff Lee's postseason dominance has made him seem incapable of walking batters, who seem incapable of getting to him. His 21 strikeouts without a walk set a new single-series record, besting the previous mark of 14 set by the Braves' Kevin Millwood when he didn't walk a Giant in the 2002 NLDS. Meanwhile, Lee tossed a complete game in Game Five, his fifth game with seven or more innings of without a walk. That ties Hall of Fame Christy Mathewson for the second-most and is just two behind Greg Maddux's record of seven.
With just two years of postseason play under his belt, Lee is now 6-0 in seven starts. Only five pitchers in major league history have six wins in their first seven postseason starts, including Hall of Famers Bob Gibson and Lefty Gomez. Pitching in Games One and Five, Lee won his fifth and sixth straight decisions as a starter to begin his postseason career, equaling Gomez for third-most all-time. The record is eight, and Lee is slated for at least one more start without going on short rest. He's also rattled off five straight W's in which he pitched seven or more innings. Only Dave Stewart, Gibson and fellow Hall of Famers Red Ruffing have longer streaks.
Last of the 30: In the first-ever series in which the road team won every game, the Rangers picked up their first-ever postseason series win. Dating back to the 1961 Washington Senators, the franchise has finally claimed victory in baseball's second season, the last active franchise to do so. The franchise waited 41 years to taste postseason glory, a drought only eclipsed by four teams, three of which began play before the World Series started in 1903. From their birth onward, only the Phillies (104 years), Dodgers (79 years), Orioles (63 years) and Cardinals (50 years) took longer to win their first playoff series. Like Texas, each of those teams had made the postseason before. And each year they finally won a postseason series, they went on to win the World Series. In fact, only the Astros, Brewers, Mariners, Nationals, Padres, Rays and Rockies did not win the World Series in the same season the franchise garnered its first playoff series win.

Hall Monitor: Vlad laps the majors
By Trevor Hayes
Last week, on a ball way out of the strike zone where only he could make an opponent pay, the Rangers' Vladimir Guerrero sent one of his signature bad-ball home runs over the fence. This particular home run came against his former mates in Anaheim, the Angels – the 30th team he's homered against. And that round-tripper put him into a small group, as only 32 players have hit a home run against all 30 teams.
But only one of the 203 Hall of Famers who played in the major leagues – Eddie Murray – homered against every active team during his era.
Retiring in 1997, Murray never had a chance to hit against Arizona and Tampa Bay, but he amassed home runs against 28 opponents. Murray's march through the majors consisted of 504 home runs during 21 seasons. He played 13 years with the Orioles, four with the Dodgers, three with the Indians, two with the Mets and one with the Angels. The Twins were his most victimized team, as Murray hit 44 home runs against Minnesota – with Detroit following at 38 home runs yielded. Despite his long stint in Baltimore, he still clouted six against them. His least victimized teams were Colorado (one home run), Florida (three home runs) and a three-way tie between Philadelphia, Montreal and the Mets (four home runs).
Because the last round of expansion came so recently, few Hall of Famers have even had the chance to complete Guerrero's feat of homering against 30 teams. Among current Hall of Famers, only Rickey Henderson, Tony Gwynn, Cal Ripken Jr., Wade Boggs, Dennis Eckersley and Paul Molitor played in 1998 or beyond.
Of them, Eckersley, a pitcher, had three career home runs, Ripken and Gwynn spent their entire careers with one team – making it impossible to hit home runs against the Orioles and Padres, respectively.
Molitor and Boggs played exclusively in the American League, giving them from 1997 on to take advantage of Interleague play. Molitor played just one season with all 30 clubs, homering against 16 total teams – with one each against the Cubs and Astros and none in 11 games against Tampa Bay. Boggs retired in 1999, playing for Tampa in its first two seasons of existence while collecting just one home run against an NL club – the Expos.
Henderson homered against 27 teams during 25 seasons with 11 teams. The speedster missed out on the Diamondbacks, Braves and Astros.
Other than Henderson, Gwynn, Ripken, Boggs, Eckersley and Molitor, Murray and Ryne Sandberg are the only Hall of Famers to participate in Interleague games – which means in order to accomplish the feat, inductees prior to them must have played for a minimum of four teams (two in each league).
In all, there are 59 Hall of Famers who played with four or more teams. Of them, 35 hit 16 or more home runs in their career – the minimum number of home runs needed to hit one against each team in the modern pre-expansion era. Of those 35, just seven played for two franchises in the AL and two in the NL: Frank Robinson, Jimmie Foxx, Murray, Orlando Cepeda, Al Simmons, Enos Slaughter and Heinie Manush.
Robinson and Slaughter came the closest, falling one team shy of homering against all clubs of their era – leaving Murray, for now, in a class by himself.

Halls of Fenway
By Jeff Idelson
I spent last night in Fenway Park enjoying the final game of a three-game series between the Red Sox and their rival, the New York Yankees. There's no bigger rivalry in baseball and it ranks among the all-time greats in professional sports.
There were four Hall of Famers in the house: Joe Morgan, in town to broadcast on ESPN with 2010 Ford C. Frick Award winner Jon Miller; Jim Rice, a fixture at Fenway as a pre and post-game analyst for the Red Sox' cable rightsholder, NESN; Pudge Fisk, in town to spend a few days in the Red Sox Legends Suite, entertaining clients for the Red Sox, and Orlando Cepeda.
Orlando, or Cha-Cha as he's known in baseball circles, was in town for an event with EMC2, a worldwide leader in digital data storage. Orlando flew cross country from the Bay Area and made his first visit to the Fenway since 1987, 14 years after making history as the first designated hitter in Red Sox history in 1973.
Since he was already at the ballpark, Cha-Cha was asked to participate in a pre-game ceremony on Mother's Day Sunday. He was to don a Red Sox jersey – with his number, 25, on the back, and a dark blue Red Sox cap — and escort a cancer-surviving mom to the mound and deliver the first pitch baseball to her so she could throw it out prior to the game.
Before the event, Orlando, Pudge, Red Sox manager Terry Francona, Hall of Fame PR Chief Brad Horn and I sat in the dugout for a few minutes and exchanged some banter.
"Orlando! What are you doing here? Can you still hit?" Francona asked the 1999 Hall of Fame inductee who hit 20 home runs in 1973 for Boston. "I don't think so, my knee is not too good," Cepeda said smiling. "How about you Pudge? Can you catch a few innings?" Fisk just rolled his eyes and chuckled.
Red Sox catcher Victor Martinez came out of the tunnel, and Francona introduced his starting catcher to the two legends. Martinez' eyes lit up.
Next was Kevin Youkilis. "What size bat did you use, Orlando?" asked Youk. When told that he swung a Louisville Slugger B83 model, weighing 40-ounces, the Red Sox infielder raised his eyebrows in disbelief, then turned to Francona and said: "Can you imagine swinging something that big against the fireballer (Nefti Feliz) from Texas?"
Francona wanted to know who the fastest pitcher was that Cepeda faced. Without thinking twice, Cha-Cha stated, "Nolan Ryan, but there were so many others. Bob Veale. So many."
"How about Marichal?" asked Francona. "He threw around 92," Cepeda replied.
Fisk swung Youkilis's Mother's Day pink bat and marveled at the feel of it.
Cepeda walked down the dugout to meet Dustin Pedroia, who grew up near his home in Fairfield, Calif. They talked about living in the Bay Area. Then David Oritz came into the dugout and the two power hitters exchanged hugs.
"I loved to watch your dad, Tito, hit," Cepeda told Francona.
Francona smiled and told Orlando: "He loved watching you hit too. You and Rico Carty were the two guys who really could hit the ball hard." "And Yaz," said Cepeda. "He swung harder than anyone I know."
As the pregame ceremony started, Orlando left the dugout for the field. I wondered if the 15 minutes of levity helped the Red Sox at all as the team salvaged the final game of the Series with New York.

Definitions for kerry blue terrier
This page provides all possible meanings and translations of the word kerry blue terrier
Random House Webster's College Dictionary
Ker′ry blue′ ter′rier(n.)
one of an Irish breed of medium-sized terriers having a long head with face whiskers and a soft, wavy, bluish-gray coat.
Category: Dogs, Cats, and Horses
Origin of Kerry blue terrier:
Princeton's WordNet
Kerry blue terrier(noun)
an Irish breed of medium-sized terriers with a silky blue-grey coat
Kerry Blue Terrier
The Kerry Blue Terrier is a breed of dog. In Ireland it is often called the Irish Blue Terrier. Originally bred to control "vermin" including rats, rabbits, badgers, foxes, otters and hares, over time the Kerry became a general working dog used for a variety of jobs including herding cattle and sheep, and as a guard dog. Today the Kerry has spread around the world as a companion and working dog. Despite winning Crufts in 2000, it remains an unfashionable breed, still distinctly uncommon, but not as threatened as some of the other terrier breeds such as Skye Terrier, Sealyham Terrier, and Dandie Dinmont Terrier.

Many people experience considerable distress about having diabetes and the amount of hands-on management that diabetes requires. This often includes frustration with the ongoing obligations of diet, physical activity, blood glucose monitoring, and taking medicines. Other equally important but less frequently acknowledged stresses can center around fears about the future, concerns about complications, difficulties dealing with caring but potentially intrusive friends and family members, and keeping up with all of the new drugs, treatment options, and related recommendations from the diabetes community. It is no wonder that as a group, people with diabetes report relatively high levels of personal distress, fatigue, frustration, anger, burnout, and feelings of poor mood and depression. Diabetes can feel overwhelming because of the unending demands of self-management.
The distress associated with diabetes and its management can have an effect on diabetes itself. For example, several studies have shown that people with diabetes who report more depressive symptoms have poorer management of their diet, physical activity, oral diabetes drug usage, and blood glucose monitoring, report more family conflict around diabetes, have more contact with the health-care system, and have higher levels of both diabetes complications and death from any cause over time than people with diabetes who do not have elevated levels of depressive symptoms.
The reasons for these associations are not completely clear, but two mechanisms have been proposed. First, research has indicated that distress and symptoms of depression are linked to the production of cortisol, a hormone produced by the adrenal glands. Among other actions, cortisol has been shown to reduce insulin sensitivity and to affect cardiovascular functioning. Second, stress and depression interfere with diabetes management behavior. It can be very hard to keep up with a complicated diabetes routine when you are having intense feelings of tension, distress, sadness, and frustration. So distress and depression can have both biological and behavioral effects on diabetes management. In fact, many clinicians consider a person's levels of distress and depression to be as important to his or her care as measures of blood glucose, cholesterol, blood pressure, and weight.
In light of the considerable impact of distress on diabetes management—and on a person's well-being in general—what can be done in response to feeling burned out, overwhelmed, and blue? The good news is that diabetes distress can be managed and reduced if a few important tips are kept in mind. Not every tip will work for every person, because people with diabetes have different personal styles, life contexts, and preferences. But the ideas underlying these tips are applicable to most people with diabetes.
1. Feelings of being overwhelmed and burned out are to be expected. Almost everyone who has diabetes feels frustrated and distressed from time to time, and some more than others. Diabetes is burdensome, and it is normal to react to this burden. Some people feel particularly depressed and frightened when a new development occurs, such as a new eye or kidney problem. They may blame themselves, other family members, or their health-care practitioners, or they may simply feel that they should give up ("What's the use anyway?"). Others are more likely to feel burned out because of the unending demands of diabetes management. Having these feelings for more than a week or two signals that these feelings need to be attended to, just as other aspects of health and well-being need to be attended to on a regular basis. Disregarding or ignoring one's feelings often makes matters worse, while paying attention to the intensity and type of feelings experienced often provides a clue for what to do next.

Some days ago we've stumbled upon this little gem on Tumblr: a blog on photos of – pretty self-explanatory – awesome people hanging out together. We've added some personal favorites – Sidney Poitier, Barbra Streisand, Steve McQueen, Laurence Olivier, Dustin Hoffman, Francois Truffaut, Alfred Hitchcock, Mick Jagger, James Brown, John Belushi, Chevy Chase, Robert Redford, Paul Newman – in this article and a short pop quiz!
All photos – and more – can be found on Awesome People Hanging out Together. Below each photo there is one question – if you are the first and answer it correctly you'll get 5 piggies. But you are only allowed to answer one! Answering more than one will lead to instant disqualification and we will delete your LomoHome (well, first part: yes, second part: no).
And if you have some great photos of awesome people hanging out together put them in the comments!

How will Mitt Romney respond to President Obama's immigration announcement?
Justin Sullivan/Getty Images
Republican presidential candidate, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney speaks during a campaign rally at Somers Furniture on May 29, 2012 in Las Vegas, Nevada.
President Obama pushed the immigration debate back into the campaign spotlight today with his announcement that some young undocumented immigrants will no longer be deported but instead will qualify for work permits as long as they meet certain requirements, including being in school or having a degree or G.E.D., being between the ages of 16 and 30, and having at least 5 continuous years in the United States. The president's executive order would allow those who meet the necessary requirements to be granted the ability to work legally within the United States.
Critics say it's too little too late and that the timing is highly political. The issue certainly remains politically fraught, as was evident when a blogger from the Daily Caller interrupted the president's speech.
Now that Democrats have put their cards on the table, how will Mitt Romney and the Republican camp respond? Will Romney endorse Republican Senator Marc Rubio's version of the Dream Act? And how are voters receiving today's news? Do immigrants feel they are being pandered to on this issue?
Kris Kobach, Mitt Romney's immigration campaign advisor

Japan cools down with Silly String-like coolant in a can
In the dead of summer, it gets hot. You can cool off with some A/C, by jumping in a pool, or, if you're in Japan, by applying some of this spray can coolant.
Much like silly string, this weird foam in a can comes out and lets you spray it anywhere. But unlike silly string, it comes out ice cold, allowing salarymen to make chilly foam bracelets or necklaces to keep them cool in the dead of summer.
OK, why is this popular in Japan but not over here? Come on, someone import a few crates of this and make some money.

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) The man who kidnapped three young women and repeatedly raped them in his Ohio home for nearly a decade hanged himself in his cell, prison officials said Wednesday.
Ariel Castro, 53, last month was sentenced to life in prison plus 1,000 years after his guilty plea in one of the most sensational criminal cases in recent U.S. history.
Castro was found Tuesday night, said JoEllen Smith, Department of Rehabilitation and Correction spokeswoman. Prison medical staff performed CPR before he was transported to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
Castro had been in protective custody because of the notoriety of his case, meaning he was checked every 30 minutes, but he was not on suicide watch, Smith said. She said suicide watch entails constant observation. While in jail before his conviction, Castro was taken off suicide watch in June after authorities determined he was not a risk.
An autopsy showed the death was a suicide, said Dr. Jan Gorniak, a coroner. She said she couldn't comment on the circumstances in which Castro was found.
No one answered the door Wednesday morning at the home of Castro's mother and brother.
At his sentencing, Castro told the judge he was suffering from a pornography addiction.
"I'm not a monster. I'm sick," he said.
The three women disappeared separately between 2002 and 2004, when they were 14, 16 and 20 years old. They escaped from Castro's home May 6, when Amanda Berry, one of the women, broke part of a door and yelled to neighbors for help.
The two other women were so scared of Castro that they held back even as police officers began to swarm the house. But quickly they realized they were free.
"You saved us! You saved us!" Michelle Knight told an officer as she leaped into his arms.
Castro was arrested that evening. He had fathered a child with Berry while she was in captivity; that girl was 6 years old when freed.
A judge rejected Castro's request to have visiting rights with his daughter.
Investigators said the women had been bound with chains, repeatedly raped and deprived of food and bathroom facilities. Knight told investigators she was beaten and starved several times to force her to miscarry.
Messages left for the women's lawyers were not immediately returned early Wednesday. At the home of Berry's sister, a woman who didn't identify herself said from the porch Wednesday there would be no comment.
Castro's attorneys had tried unsuccessfully to have a psychological examination of him done at the jail before he was turned over to state authorities following his conviction, his attorney, Jaye Schlachet, told The Associated Press early Wednesday. Schlachet said he could not immediately comment further.
In an interview last month after Castro's conviction, his attorneys said their client clearly fit the profile of sociopathic disorder and that they hoped researchers would study him for clues that could be used to stop other predators.
Knight was the only one of the three who appeared in court at Castro's sentencing.
"I spent 11 years in hell," she said. "Now your hell is just beginning."

Acidophilus and other probiotics are familiar to many. Probiotics are the healthy bacteria that inhabit our gut. The average healthy person has 4-5 pounds of these critters in their intestinal tract.
The word "probiotic" means "for life". Probiotics have several functions that enhance our lives and are essential to good health. These include synthesizing vitamins B complex and K, enhancing immune function by crowding out yeast and parasites, producing enzymes, helping regulate blood cholesterol, improving digestion and colon function, and helping to prevent certain types of cancer.
Probiotics are important because many things can upset the delicate balance in our intestinal tract. These include use of antibiotics, steroids, oral contraceptives, radiation, chlorinated water, refined sugar, poor diet, poor digestion, constipation, stress, etc.
An imbalance in the intestinal bacteria is known as dysbiosis. Many people have this – you could be one of them. When dysbiosis occurs, the body becomes overloaded with toxins. Without essential probiotics, partially digested proteins can enter the bloodstream, contributing to allergies, eczema, nervous system disorders, rheumatoid arthritis, asthma, fibromyalgia, hormone imbalances, joint pain, migraine headaches and a variety of other immune system disorders.
GI tract problems such as leaky bowel syndrome, ulcerative colitis, spastic colon and irritable bowel syndrome are attributed to loss of probiotics and the overgrowth of detrimental bacteria, yeast or parasites.
Over 60 percent of your immune system is in your gut. When your intestinal tract is balanced with the right kind of bacteria, you naturally feel better, digest your food better and are more resistant to colds, flus, bacteria and parasites.
There are many good probiotic supplements on the market. Many of the companies making the supplements have researched the specific strains that will tend to colonize well. The delivery mechanism on the probiotics is important too.
Enteric and other specific gel coatings will ensure that the product is delivered to the small and large intestines rather than destroyed in the highly acidic environment of the stomach. Probiotics tend to lose potency if they sit on the shelf too long, so check dates and make sure you have a live culture.
One of the best (and most expensive) is Dr. Ohhira's that contains special strains of lactic acid bacteria that help to normalize pH in the colon. There are also many good probiotics that are not as expensive as the Dr. Ohhira's. Health food stores typically have the best quality probiotics – so check with yours.
Take probiotics to help maintain a healthy balance in the intestinal tract. Probiotics are particularly helpful if your digestive system is not working as well as you would like.If your probiotic is not doing the job, you may need to consider a product that will help kill off the harmful bacteria and/or yeast and also consider diet changes – but that is another column.

Dropouts: Discouraged Americans leave labor forceBy PAUL WISEMAN
and JESSE WASHINGTON
The Associated Press | April 07,2013WASHINGTON After a full year of job hunting, Natasha Baebler just gave up.
Shed already abandoned hope of getting work in her field, working with the disabled. But she couldnt land anything else, either not even a job interview at a telephone call center.
Until she feels confident enough to send out resumes again, shell get by on food stamps and disability checks from Social Security and live with her parents in St. Louis.
Im not proud of it, says Baebler, who is in her mid-30s and is blind. The only way Im able to sustain any semblance of self-preservation is to rely on government programs that I have no desire to be on.
Baeblers frustrating experience has become all too common nearly four years after the Great Recession ended: Many Americans are still so discouraged that theyve given up on the job market.
Older Americans have retired early. Younger ones have enrolled in school. Others have suspended their job hunt until the employment landscape brightens. Some, like Baebler, are collecting disability checks.
It isnt supposed to be this way. After a recession, an improving economy is supposed to bring people back into the job market.
Instead, the number of Americans in the labor force those who have a job or are looking for one fell by nearly half a million people from February to March, the government said Friday. And the percentage of working-age adults in the labor force whats called the participation rate fell to 63.3 percent last month. Its the lowest such figure since May 1979.
The falling participation rate tarnished the only apparent good news in the jobs report the Labor Department released Friday: The unemployment rate dropped to a four-year low of 7.6 percent in March from 7.7 in February.
People without a job who stop looking for one are no longer counted as unemployed. Thats why the U.S. unemployment rate dropped in March despite weak hiring. If the 496,000 who left the labor force last month had still been looking for jobs, the unemployment rate would have risen to 7.9 percent in March.
Unemployment dropped for all the wrong reasons, says Craig Alexander, chief economist with TD Bank Financial Group. It dropped because more workers stopped looking for jobs. It signaled less confidence and optimism that there are jobs out there.
The participation rate peaked at 67.3 percent in 2000, reflecting an influx of women into the work force. Its been falling steadily ever since.
Part of the drop reflects the baby boom generations gradual move into retirement. But such demographics arent the whole answer.
Even Americans of prime working age 25 to 54 years old are dropping out of the workforce. Their participation rate fell to 81.1 percent last month, tied with November for the lowest since December 1984.
Its the lack of job opportunities the lack of demand for workers that is keeping these workers from working or seeking work, says Heidi Shierholz, an economist at the liberal Economic Policy Institute. The Labor Department says there are still more than three unemployed people for every job opening.
Cynthia Marriott gave up her job search after an interview in October for a position as a hotel concierge.
They never said no, she says. They just never called me back.
Her husband hasnt worked full time since 2006. She cashed out her 401(k) after being laid off from a job at a Los Angeles entertainment publicity firm in 2009. The couple owes thousands in taxes for that withdrawal. They have no health insurance.
She got the maximum 99 weeks of unemployment benefits then allowed in California and then moved to Atlanta.
Now she is looking to receive federal disability benefits for a lung condition that she said leaves her weak and unable to work a full day. The application is pending a medical review.
I feel like I have no choice, says Marriott, 47. Its just really sad and frightening
During the peak of her job search, Marriott was filling out 10 applications a day. She applied for jobs she felt overqualified for, such as those at Home Depot and Petco but never heard back. Eventually, the disappointment and fatigue got to her.
I just wanted a job, she says. I couldnt really go on anymore looking for a job.
Young people are leaving the job market, too. The participation rate for Americans ages 20 to 24 hit a 41-year low 69.6 percent last year before bouncing back a bit. Many young people have enrolled in community colleges and universities. Thats one reason a record 63 percent of adults ages 25 to 29 have spent at least some time in college, according to the Pew Research Center.
Older Americans are returning to school, too. Doug Damato, who lives in Asheville, N.C., lost his job as an installer at a utility company in February 2012. He stopped looking for work last fall, when he began taking classes in mechanical engineering at Asheville-Buncombe Technical Community College.
Next week, Damato, 40, will accept an academic award for earning top grades. But one obstacle has emerged: Under a recent change in state law, his unemployment benefits will now end July 1, six months earlier than he expected.
Hes planning to work nights, if possible, to support himself once the benefits run out. Dropping out of school is out of the question, he said, given the time he has already put into the program.
I dont want a handout, he says. Im trying to better myself.
Many older Americans who lost their jobs are finding refuge in Social Securitys disability program. Nearly 8.9 million Americans are receiving disability checks, up 1.3 million from when the recession ended in June 2009.
Natasha Baeblers journey out of the labor force and onto the disability rolls began when she lost her job serving disabled students and staff members at Purdue University in West Lafayette, Ind., in February 2012.
For six months, she sought jobs in her field, brandishing masters degrees in social education and counseling. No luck.
Then she just started looking for anything. Still, she had no takers.
I chose to stop and take a step back for a while ... After youve seen that amount of rejection, she says, you start thinking, `Whats going to make this time any different?
