The fundraiser will be held on Feb. 1 at 1 p.m. at the National Guard Armory in Cleveland.
There will be a live auction, silent auction, live music, and more with all the proceeds going to the Williams family.
Nolan Williams, the son of Brent and Ashley Williams, was diagnosed with a heart defect before he was born and since his birth has had several surgeries.
"Nolan was born with a congenital heart defect. The plan from birth was to have a series of 3 surgeries. After the second surgery, we went for a checkup and things were not what we had hoped for. After having a heart catheterization, he did not recover well and ended up having an unplanned surgery to reverse the second surgery and arrange something to help him get more blood to his lungs," said Brent.
Shane Henderson decided to host the fundraiser to raise money for the family for whatever medical costs they have.
"It was lying on my heart to do the fundraiser. I heard about the baby's condition and so I contacted Brent and asked him if it would be okay for me to do a fundraiser for them to help them out, and so it's been ongoing for about three weeks. I started contacting people from all over, as far as Missouri and Kentucky, asking them if they would donate duck calls or anything and it got bigger from there," said Henderson.
The fundraiser will
Henderson looks forward to the event and is excited for the turn out.
"We've got two live bands coming in. The second band will start around 3 p.m. We'll be selling cakes, hamburgers, hotdogs, and nachos. We'll have a silent auction and then around 5 p.m. we'll start a live auction. We've got an auctioneer coming in to help with the live auction. We've got face painting and an indoor bounce house for the kids to play on and enjoy," Henderson said.
Recently, Nolan had another surgery and is doing well so far.
"Nolan's most recent surgery went very well. He was not doing well at all after the cath and gave us all a scare. The biggest concern is keeping him healthy between surgeries. At this point, that is our job. He will have to have more surgeries in the near future. There is a goal that his cardiologists and surgeons have for him that is complicated but if we can get him there he should have a pretty normal life," said Williams.
Nolan also has a big brother and Williams said through all of this the family has grown much closer to God.
"Nolan's big brother, Hudson, is almost 7 years old and is very very smart. He understands what is going on with his baby brother and knows that he needs to pray for him. This has brought us so much closer to God. We have always been Christians but we have learned to put all of our trust in The Lord because it is all in his hands. We feel so proud that Nolan has brought so many people closer to God. Joshua 1:9 became our verse from the very beginning. We have a special place in our hearts for Josh Abide and his family. This verse reminds us to be strong and courageous at all times," said Williams.
Henderson said he hopes to raise a good amount of money for the family and is putting no limits on what the funds can be used for.
"My goal is to reach $6,000 and all of it will go to the family to help them with whatever finances they have; if it's traveling back and forth to Jackson or helping with medical bills or whatever treatments they may need after the surgery. Whatever they need to use it for to help them out that's exactly what it's for."

A caravel—"caravela" in Portuguese—was a 15th-century ship used by the country's explorers. The vessel's small size made it easy to navigate along the coast of Africa and into the Atlantic Ocean. The ship not only gives Caravela its name, but also represents the eatery's menu, a transatlantic meeting of Portuguese and Brazilian fare. The majority of the selection comes from the sea, too. Shrimp caravela, for one, has jumbo prawns swimming in a lemon-cognac butter sauce. The grilled swordfish is drizzled with a spicy baiana sauce derived from Brazilian cuisine. Of course, there are options for those not craving seafood: chefs fire pork chops, racks of lamb, and filets mignons. The staff serves all of this in a dining room with a nautical theme modeled after Captain Hook's room at the retirement home.
Wielding knives and sword-like skewers, the servers at Texas de Brazil seem prepared for impromptu duels. However, they only brandish the blades to replenish dinner plates, slicing meat from their spears at the behest of each table. The cuts of steak, lamb, and brazilian sausage are all slow roasted over an open flame in traditional churrascaria fashion—a technique that stems from the campfire meals of Brazilian gauchos, and one that fed the family behind Texas de Brazil during their life in Porto Alegre. In an effort to bring the South American style to the States, they established their first restaurant in Texas, thereby merging down-home charm with Brazilian spice.
Today, Texas de Brazil has expanded to several award-winning locations across the country. Despite the lofty ceilings and chandeliers that characterize their venues, the staff remains rooted in ranchers' habits. They conscientiously grill and season their meat, bake brazilian cheese bread in-house, and pass classic cocktails and loaner saddles over the bar for cowboys who consider chairs unnatural. To complement savory bites, guests can browse more than 50 gourmet sides at the salad bar—a compendium of soups, vegetables, and appetizers such as imported cheeses. They can also ask the resident wine specialist for recommendations on suitable pairings from the cellar.
You'll never feel more like a Brazilian cowboy than the moment you take your seat at Copacabana Steakhouse. As you tuck in, fork and knife in hand, waiters pass by carrying 14 different styles of slow-roasted meat still sizzling on their skewers. Upon your signal, they shave portions of top sirloin, Brazilian sausage, leg of lamb, and barbecue chicken straight onto your plate. This meat parade, or rodizio, mimics the communal feasts of the 20th-century gauchos who settled in the grasslands of Southern Brazil with their massive herds of Carnival parade floats. As they eat, diners sip bold South American red wines that complement the flavors of the steak. For guests who aren't looking for an all-you-can-eat smorgasbord, the churrascaria also serves single portions of its meats paired with hearts of palm and fresh veggies from the salad bar.
Just as the surrounding Theater District transports audiences to faraway places, Brazil Grill's dining room immerses guests in the rich culinary traditions of Brazil. Though it boasts a substantial selection of entrees, the eatery's specialty is radizio, a traditional Brazilian dining style where passadores, or meat servers, present diners with an endless rotation of skewered morsels. Patrons can nosh to their hearts' content on beef, pork, lamb, duck, and the other meats that continually appear tableside during the course of the night. To complement the authentic dishes, servers can also recommend options from the restaurant's selection of wines culled from Chile, Italy, and New Zealand. Most nights, guests eat as they absorb the sounds of live Brazilian music, the play-by-play of Brazilian League soccer matches, or napkins practicing their Portuguese accents.
Brazil Brazil Restaurant spirits diners away from the helter-skelter streets of New York City into a space rife with french doors, exposed brick, and blond hardwood. Its back patio?a white-trellised three-seasons room and kind of solarium?surrounds guests with lush flora and wrought-iron furniture that exudes the feeling of the tropics, with the scents of grilling seafood wafting over the secluded tables.
This spot is one of the best places to relax in the city, with the New York Times even lauding the patio as a ?romantic retreat? and ?an ideal place to escape the city?s rapid pace.? Chefs plate flavorful Brazilian dishes such as wine-marinated shrimp or pan-seared red snapper in mango sauce with sides of yucca and fried bananas. Late in the evenings, a Brazilian band starts serenading guests lounging in the bar?s cushy sofa chairs, creating a festive atmosphere. Located next to a host of Broadway theaters, the bistro is a great pre-show spot for on-the-go eaters.
Brazilian native Ivan Utrera came to the United States with a stack of family recipes and an idea for serving bottomless portions of rotisserie-grilled meats. That style of eating, similar to that in a churrascaria, has been popular in Brazil for many years. Rodizio Grill has since expanded to several locations, where servers armed with giant skewers of marinated pork loin and beef saturated in garlic travel around the dining room, carving off the meat tableside. The chefs also slow-cook on the grill and expertly season Brazilian sausages, lamb, chicken hearts, and pineapples. Much like a list of terrible babysitters, the selection of adventurous meats often includes rattlesnake, bison, and wild boar.

Meet The Disposable, Recyclable, Reusable Cardboard Shopping Cart
One great thing about living in a city like New York: Being able to buy just about anything you need. The problem: Getting the things you buy back home. That's why a designer in the UK has come up with a cart constructed completely out of cardboard that could allow you to wheel your purchases down the street and onto the bus or train. [More]
Make Your Own Toy Kitchen
It's your kid—you should get to decide what kinds of choking and lead poisoning hazards make up its playthings. One woman clearly didn't need any Fisher-Price plastic toy kitchen ruining her white-on-white aesthetic, so she made her own entirely out of found corrugated cardboard, contact paper, and a few household items. And if you don't feel you have the skills to replicate it by looking at the photographs, then she'll sell you a copy of the plans for $7.
Reporter Arrested For Faking Cardboard Bun Story
Chinese authorities have arrested a Beijing TV reporter for "faking" the cardboard bun story, according to the AP. The report by Beijing TV claimed that an unlicensed snack vendor had been serving buns filled with cardboard softened with caustic soda and flavored with pork.
TPM's Collection of Ikea Woes
We'll cop to sort of being taken aback by Ikea, as our first experience with the Scandinavian furniture superstore was just a couple years ago. We're still somewhat in shock at how much appearance of good furniture one can get for such a small amount of money. Plus, as we are legally required to mention, meatballs.

Jim Windolf: Leno and Letterman—"We're Friends, Remember?"
Jay Leno gets no respect from comedy snobs. Some of his jokes are like the stuff you hear from the annoying guy at work. His political quips usually don't have the punch of Jon Stewart's material. And when he brings up sex, there's a wink-wink, nudge-nudge element that isn't too cool. But in the last few years I've come to like his workhorse commitment to laying out joke after joke after joke. Unlike David Letterman or Conan O'Brien, who try to get by on personal charm, Leno is deadly serious about his opening monologue. It isn't about him—it's about the jokes. He delivers them with a sincere belief in the power of setup and punch line.
His performance during the writers' strike was terrific. He revived old jokes and wrote scores of new ones. Even with a lineup of guests that included way too many MSNBC pundits, he managed to win his time slot night after night, even as Letterman had the benefit of working with a full staff and bona fide celebrities in the next chair. As The New York Times noted yesterday, Leno will have plenty of opportunities to keep it up, if NBC goes through with its plan to give Tonight to O'Brien.
Twenty-five years ago, long before the late-night comedy wars had begun, Leno was a frequent guest on NBC's Late Night With David Letterman. They had great chemistry. In this installment—Leno's third appearance on Late Night—Dave tries to give him some pointers on how to present himself, and Jay pushes back. Beneath the laughs they're sparring like litter-mates trying to determine which one is the alpha dog.

Welcome to the Dream Institute website
The Dream Institute is a cultural and educational center whose mission is to encourage interest in dreaming as an ancient, evolved resource, available to all, that informs and inspires our cultural and personal lives. |
Mission Statement
THE DREAM INSTITUTE is an experimental cultural center founded in 2003. It has come into being during this time known as the shift or the great turning. Dreams are a natural resource, democratically available to all, yet vastly underutilized today. Most cultures throughout history have called upon dreams for information and guidance. They are more relevant than ever at this time of upheaval and transition. Our mission is to offer program participants a soulful experience and to restore dreams, as an ancient wisdom source, to a place of respect in contemporary society.
WE OFFER weekend workshops, daylong seminars, evening salons, film series, professional training, art exhibits, retreats, and dream-based performances. We are also the West Coast center for Culture Dreaming. Programs and events are open to the public; continuing education seminars are for professionals in the healing arts. We do not advocate any single philosophical, psychological, spiritual,
or religious viewpoint toward dreams or personal growth. Generally, our programs are in the salon model, which allows for open discussion where Psyche can be present.
"I have found the Institute an extraordinarily supportive environment for creative work and research about dreams, dreaming, and the uses of dreams in other cultures as well as our own. It is a tribute to you and the colleagues who participate with you in creating and sustaining the Institute that such fine work can be done. The programs you support are excellent, the audiences who attend your programs are sophisticated and warm, and the environment a very pleasant one for the presenter. I look forward to future work with you and The Dream Institute."
—Charles Fisher, M.D.

- What can I expect when I sign up for a farm share?
- Every farm is different, and every year is different. But here is a farm share timeline charting out a number of events that took place in 2012 when we were members of Cure Organic Farm.
- I'm looking for advice on a farm and I live in [insert city here]
- I typically can't recommend one farm over another, especially if you live outside the Boulder area, because I don't have direct experience. I recommend doing your research, including contacting farms directly and asking for happy share members to chat with. I'd also suggest posting on the ColoradoCSAs facebook page and seeing if anyone who follows that has suggestions and/or in the city data forums (here's the list of forums for Colorado). I'd also ask that when you do find and join a CSA, you rate it on the Colorado CSAs page so that others can benefit from your experience.
- How often do you go to the grocery store when you have a farm share?
- This depends on several factors. How big the share you signed up for is, what it contains, and what other foods do you need. During the height of the summer, when we are getting the most vegetables and fruit, we still have to go to the market once a week or so. We get bread, milk, meat and processed foods, as well as any required vegetables for recipes that didn't come in the share.
- What is your biggest gripe about joining a farm share?
- Not enough tomatoes. Seriously, I've never found a farm share that grew enough tomatoes to satisfy me. The second biggest gripe is that sometimes the amount of food you get, especially in August, can be overwhelming.
- What is the best part about joining a farm share?
- It's a tossup between getting to know a farmer and learning what it takes to raise food for a community of people, and the taste of a carrot that was pulled from the ground six hours ago. That carrot tastes really good.
- How can I choose a farm?
- Decide what is important to you (here's a good list of things to think about). Use tools on this site and other sites, talk to farmers (farmers' markets are a great place to do this), talk to their existing share holders, and ask about the important factors you determined above. Remember, this is worth some effort, because you are committing to a season of produce or other food, but it is not rocket science or parenting.
- What is a boarding fee?
- A boarding fee is a monthly fee charged for keeping an animal fed and cared for. This is usually associated with a milk share.
- Which farm share is right for me?
- Every farm is different. What is a 'better' farm share depends on what you want. Some offer more flexibility, some require work (which I imagine would create more community), some offer eggs and meat as additional purchaseable items, etc, etc. A good thing to do is contact the farmer and ask to speak to other share owners. I did that a few years ago when selecting my first CSA.
- I don't know whether certified organic vs. organic methods is worth the extra cash. Doesn't it usually just hike up prices when farms get certified because it costs them an arm and a leg?
- Most of these small scale farmers are in it for the love of the farm and their customers and won't be putting nasty chemicals on their crops. That said, organic certification is a process that makes sure you know exactly what you're getting. One farmer's "organic methods" could be different than anothers.
- What is the difference between certified naturally grown (CNG) and certified organic?
- There are a number of differences, outlined in this FAQ; they include who does the certification inspections and the size of the farm targeted.
- My husband and I are interested in starting a CSA. Do you have any info on the Colorado laws for CSA's?
- I have never run a CSA, so I'm not the best person to ask. I've seen several CSA planning books out there, so the library might be a good place to start. I'd also call up someone who is running a CSA similar to what you'd like to run and see if you could take them out to coffee and ask a few questions. Here's a website that might be useful (not sure how up to date it is, though). You also might want to contact your extension agent. I don't know where you are, but Adrian Card in Boulder would be worth talking to and perhaps getting some pointers from. Here's a bunch of info on small farms; here's an article about CSA from a farmer's perspective.
- Won't my produce go bad?
- I will admit that I've definitely composted some produce (a friend called it 'the most expensive compost I've ever made'), but by and large, I've been able to cook and/or eat everything I've gotten from a share. It does take a commitment, so I always suggest starting small. And if you definitely don't want to cook, there are other plenty of other ways of supporting local farmers.
- How can I support my local farmers without participating in a farm share and/or cooking?
of ways!
- Participate in seasonal events--many farms have pumpkin patches or corn mazes in the fall.
- Eat in restaurants that support local food providers, and ask restaurants where the food you eat comes from.
- Buy value added products (plants, honey, jam, etc) at farmers markets and elsewhere.
- Consider having an event at a farm.
- Can I split a share among families?
- Often, yes. I've seen some farms that prohibit that, or want to charge extra, but the vast majority of farms are happy to sell you a share and then let more than one person pick it up. If you have any doubts, ask your farmer.
- What is a market share?
- This is a new type of share that I've seen pop up in the last few years. This is very similar to a prepaid gift card with a discount, often 10%. The farmer gets the money up front as with a traditional share, but the consumer gets more choice, as they can spend the credit with the farm at the market or a farm stand as they please.

The Carbon Charger Intake System (CCI) utilizes a unique filtration element that is superior to other "open filter elment" systems on the market. The secret of the CCI Intake System is that air is fed from out side the engine bay. This means that it is picking up a cold air feed rather than warm air from the engine compartment, more cold air means more power.
Posted by SB on 3rd Jul 2014
The intake is real good but it took me some time to install it and the quality of the intake looks real solid. My friends really liked the intake too.
Posted by Lamar on 28th Mar 2014
Very good quality. The instructions leave a little to be desired but its not hard to figure out what goes where. The sound is about the same as stock until you stand on the throttle and then you hear a nice throaty sound. I have a Snabb filter to turbo pipe so your results may vary. I am happy with the product overall.
Posted by Benjamin H on 10th Jul 2013
I feel the design is the most efficient and least susceptible to heat soak, did not have much ease in installing the thing but its not too horrible. The sound is great, and I think I can feel some difference in throttle.
Posted by Bsizzle on 4th Jun 2012
Totally surprised at the power increase both parts are putting out, really unexpected and super happy with it. I have the Snabb turbo pipe and Simota intake system setup, Check out viva's facebook page for pic of setup.

ABC's Jake Whitman Reports: The Baltimore Sun is reporting this morning that ancestry records show that one of Barack Obama's great-great-great-great grandfathers owned two slaves recorded in the 1850 census.
Reporters David Nitkin and Harry Merritt retraced information first reported online in the website of William Addams Reitwiesner, who works at the Library of Congress and practices genealogy in his spare time.
Nitkin and Merritt retraced much of Reitwiesner's work by pouring over records on the website ancestry.com along with other sources. They found Obama's great-great-great-great grandfather George Washington Overall owned two slaves. The Sun report also says that one of Obama's great-great-great-great-great grandmothers also owned two slaves.
The paper says that an Obama spokesman did not dispute the information and said that the senator's ancestors "are representative of America."

Earnhardt Jr. featured on ESPN The Magazine 10th anniversary cover
- Mar 19, 2008
- 88 Team
CONCORD, N.C. (March 19, 2008) – Five-time NASCAR Most Popular Driver Dale Earnhardt Jr. is among a select group of professional sports stars featured on unique covers for ESPN The Magazine's 10th anniversary issue, released this week.
The double-sided special edition features 10 covers, five on each side and in random order. The front half highlights athletes who have dominated their respective sport in the last 10 years—baseball's Ichiro Suzuki, NFL running back LaDainian Tomlinson, pro basketball player Tim Duncan, tennis sisters Venus and Serena Williams, and professional snowboarder Shaun White. The flip side is devoted to athletes believed to shine over the next 10 years—Earnhardt Jr., pro basketball player LeBron James, hockey star Sidney Crosby, New York Yankees third baseman Alex Rodriguez and NFL quarterback Vince Young.
Earnhardt Jr.'s cover was shot by photographer Matt Jones, who shows the driver not in typical NASCAR attire but in a single-breasted Armani suit and tie. This marks the third time Earnhardt Jr. has appeared on the cover of ESPN The Magazine. He and Matt Kenseth shared the cover for the 1999 NASCAR Preview, and he alone was the subject of a cover story in the Feb. 18, 2002 edition.
"It was a real honor to be included in this 10th anniversary project for ESPN The Magazine," Earnhardt Jr. said. "It's humbling to be among athletes of this caliber. I hope ESPN is correct in that we can generate a few headlines in the next 10 years. I feel like we can."
Prominent in each of the 10 cover shots is a diamond-studded ESPN The Magazine hat designed by jeweler Lorraine Schwartz. The hat includes 760 round white diamonds, 108 round black diamonds, and 40 ruby baguettes. Each athlete signed the hat, which will be auctioned off for charity.
In addition to the 10 covers, each athlete was photographed in settings of special meaning or personal significance for the inside pages. In homage to the history of NASCAR and his racing roots, Earnhardt Jr. took ESPN The Magazine to his vintage gas station in Mooresville, N.C., where photographer Sarah Friedman shot Earnhardt Jr. and his 1972 Camaro.
"I have a great appreciation for the history of NASCAR where I grew up in Kannapolis," Earnhardt Jr. said. "This old-school gas station reminds me of that town, where the old cotton mill was the big industry. It's all torn down now, and I'm real nostalgic for it."
ESPN The Magazine's 10th anniversary edition is on newsstands now. Fans can also log on to www.espnthemag.com for behind-the-scenes footage of each athlete at their respective photo shoots, as well as prominent feature articles that have appeared in the magazine during its first 10 years of publication.

Charleston Battery News Release -- www.charlestonbattery.com
Saturday, February 23, 2013
CHARLESTON, S.C. -- The Chicago Fire claimed their first Carolina Challenge Cup championship after earning a 1-1 draw against the Vancouver Whitecaps on Saturday evening at Blackbaud Stadium. The Fire finished with a record of 2-0-1, and finished top of the tournament standings as the only side to go undefeated through the 10th edition of the tournament. The Fire had gone close to taking the lead in the first half, only to be denied by a fine double-save by Whitecaps goalkeeper Joe Cannon as both Sherjill MacDonald and Chris Rolfe came close to opening the scoring. Chicago finally broke the deadlock in the 57th minute as Maicon Santos found the back of the net with a left-footed blast that nicked the crossbar on its way in.
Vancouver, which needed victory to have a chance at the title, found the equalizer shortly after in the 68th minute as Darren Mattocks converted from the penalty spot after Kenny Miller had been brought down in the penalty area. The Whitecaps pushed for the winner late on, Mattocks being well denied by Sean Johnson after he broke through the Fire's defense with 16 minutes to go, but the Fire closed out the draw they needed to claim the championship. CHARLESTON 2, HOUSTON 1: A pair of nice goals from Dane Kelly and Austin Savage helped the Charleston Battery to their first win of the tournament as they took victory against the Houston Dynamo, but it was a superb goalkeeping performance from Odisnel Cooper that proved the real story of the final game of the Carolina Challenge Cup on Saturday night at Blackbaud Stadium. Houston opened the scoring in the 16th minute as Boniek Garcia floated a cross to Cam Weaver, who was able to cleanly lay it off for Darius Barnes to punch it home. Charleston immediately struck back two minutes later as Kelly caught Dynamo goalkeeper Tally Hall out of position and was able to turn and shoot a low shot that just snuck by Hall's fingertips. Cooper made sure he was noticed with a series of exquisite saves, creating a brick wall between the pipes for the Battery. In the 25th minute, Cooper kept the game knotted with a diving save off a Dynamo opportunity from a corner. Shortly after, Cooper came up huge again, stoning Brad Davis' penalty kick attempt with another beautiful dive to his left in the 36th minute after Weaver had been brought down in the penalty area, and then made another outstanding save in the 42nd minute on a shot from point blank by Will Bruin. Both teams were finding opportunities in the second half with the Dynamo pressing late in the game. However, it was the Battery who found the back of the net as second-half substitute Austin Savage made his presence known within minutes of entering the game. In the 75th minute, Savage headed the ball home at the back post off a corner kick from Zach Prince to give the Battery a 2-1 advantage. Charleston maintained the lead to claim its first win of the Challenge Cup and their first win of the 2013 preseason as the Battery moved the ball extremely well and put in some of their defensive work of the tournament.

Happy New Year everyone! My family and I had such a lovely little break. Whoa! I didn't realize how much I needed some pajama time. We had an endless snow storm that blew in Friday and stayed until late last night. This made it easy to relax. We went ice skating on a nearby pond yesterday and came home to enjoy popcorn, hot cocoa and a movie. I'm having a hard time getting into the swing of work, but I'm ready to start this new year with a fresh perspective. Here's the inspiration that hangs on my fridge:
"If you set goals and go after them with all the determination you can muster, your gifts will take you places that will amaze you." Les Brown
So tell me, what's inspiring you this year?

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is JC!
Facts about JC
- Breed: Dachshund Mix
- Color: Tricolor (Tan/Brown & Black & White)
- Age: Puppy
- Size: Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
- Sex: Male
JC's Info...
I am already neutered, housetrained, up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
This is JC. His mom is Mary; Mary was left at a shelter pregnant. Friends of Rescue took her in just days before her delivery. JC and his siblings were all born in the care of a wonderful foster home and are growing like weeds. These babies will all be available for adoption after 2/1/2012. We are doing pre-approvals and taking applications now.
JC is very cool. He likes to play, growl, and he follows his foster mom everywhere. He even already responds to his foster mom's voice. When he sleeps, nothing can wake him up - as you can tell by his cute pic! JC would make an awesome addition to any family. His mom, Mary, is a medium sized dachshund mix, but we are not sure what his dad was. What we do know is that he is one cool dude and deserves a great home! Puppies are a lot of work - so please be sure you've taken the time to educate yourself on the work involved with adding a puppy to your home.
JC will be neutered prior to adoption and up to date on his age appropriate vaccinations at the time of adoption. He will be microchipped and current on heartworm and flea prevention as well. His adoption fee is $225. To fill out an application, please email us at firstname.lastname@example.com JC is being fostered in Huntsville, AL.
Other Pets at Friends of Rescue - Homewood
Why Adoption is a Great Option
JC, a Homewood Dachshund puppy was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Dachshund for sale in Homewood, or seeking a Dachshund puppy from a breeder in Homewood.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Homewood already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Homewood breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Dachshund breeders who help with Dachshund rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Homewood paves the way for another one to be saved.

Date 2009-04-18 Availability restricted Abstract The problem researched in this thesis is as follows:Too much emphasis is placed on the experience of salvation in today's preaching, sound exegesis and preaching of the Scriptures is neglected.
The problem is thus that faith as knowledge and faith as experience are not handled in an integrated way in preaching, but that currently too much emphasis is placed on faith as experience, while faith as knowledge is neglected.
Practical theology is approached as an action science. In this thesis the following approached is followed: Firstly a literature study of sources was done, after which an empirical study was conducted by way of the analysis of sermons, and finally a model was suggested for preaching that helps us in the light of this problem.
The steps followed in the thesis were as follows: Firstly a literature study was done to discuss the balance between knowledge and experience of the salvation in Jesus Christ and how preaching can end in a confession of Jesus Christ. Secondly the empirical phase followed, where sermons from preachers from the 10 synods of the Dutch Reformed Church were analysed. The finding of the empirical investigation was the following: faith as experience is currently being emphasised much more in preaching than faith as knowledge, and furthermore it was found that there is currently a low occurrence of confessing Jesus Christ in preaching of the Dutch Reformed Church.
A model for preaching as confessing of Jesus Christ is proposed in which the concepts faith as knowledge and faith as experience are seen as functioning in a dialectic tension to each other, and therefore not separated.

Love these comfortable socks!
I bought these socks for my teenage daughter for gym class. She loves them and we will be buying more! She commented on how "squishy" they are in the heel and on the little flap on the back. She is pretty choosy with her socks and really likes these!

Yes you can. Soy is a very forgiving wax. Just a reminder....Don't melt it in the microwave if you used a wick that has a metal tab. I don't mean to sound rude, but that is one of those things that is so easy to forget about. :) :) |

A New Animated X-Men Series – Wolverine and The X-Men
Officially Cool By Brian C. Gibson on June 26, 2008 | (19) CommentsI just want to know, how did I f*cking miss this? I loved the X-Men animated series. I'm one of the names on the internet petition to bring that series to DVD. It looks like Marvel will be bringing us round two of The X-Men animated on the small screen.
I am a firm believer that you can never have too much X-Men, unless Brett Ratner is involved. It is also really cool that Marvel is just manning up and calling the group what it has actually become. Wolverine and The X-Men is scheduled to be hitting Nicktoons sometime in early 2009. I am sure we will get some more details when we go to San Diego Comic-Con, as Marvel will have a booth dedicated to this animated series. You will find the goods below, watch it now. Seriously though, how cool is it to see Logan as Weapon X in a cartoon? I can't wait for this.
If you have any suggestions for our Officially Cool feature, please send an email over to email@example.com.

Re:A/B-Testing (219 comments)
Now that IS very interesting. I wonder how the IRB approved an experiment that clearly didn't have any participants' consent.
Re:Unethical (219 comments)
I agree, this was my first thought. They screwed up big time, it would be fun to see the federal government investigate them for unlicensed human research.
Re:This news piece has been greatly exagerated (219 comments)
I don't know anyone who was affected by the Tuskeegee syphilis study, but that doesn't mean it was right or we shouldn't be outraged.
Re:A/B-Testing (219 comments)
The issue is clear; if a doctor or psychologist tried this, they would have to get IRB approval. You need informed consent; such laws were passed after psychologists had tried a LOT of experiments on the unwitting public; simluating muggings, imminent death scenarios, etc.
I know people say "it's just manipulating feeds, what's the harm?" There can be plenty of harm if you manipulate the feeds. Where is the line? What if facebook had decided to see what happens if you try showing depressing posts and bad news for a year? Or a feed where you were always ignored? No IRB would allow something like that if it risked permanent mental scarring or created a suicide risk.
Bad move, Facebook. Experiments are definitely cool (I'm a researcher), but we go through proper channels and regulation for a darned good reason.

A holographic doctor is not the same as the tired storyline where there's a holodeck malfunction and the artifical characters threaten the ship. At least with The Doctor they had him grow and develop and mature and be like Data with more personality.

Oh great, now the government will overcompensate by making the search logic even fuzzier, generating far more false positives. Is your name one letter off from someone on the No-Fly list? You're not going to be allowed to fly either. It was bad enough when the TSA was grounding flights when 8-month-olds matched the name of a terrorist, now you're going to have way more of that.
Don't believe me? After the Underwear Bomber was caught in 2009, Homeland Security decided to prevent it from happening again, by drastically increasing the No-Fly lists and broadening it to encompass flights to Canada and Mexico.
Re: Might help the US.... (97 comments)
Yes, we live in a world where everyone has access to google. That's not the point, you have to prove your claims with evidence, not ask the other person to do it for you and then disprove it. You need to show proof that it can be done, because you can't disprove a negative.
Not again (335 comments)
Bill, we've been over this before. Snowden tried the legal channels, informing his superiors 10x, and got nowhere. If you bothered to closely follow the story, you'd see your suggestions were tried and failed.
Armchair critics are stupid. "Why couldn't Rosa Parks just ask the bus driver for permission, did she really need to get arrested?"
Re: When they should be... (146 comments)
Compare how the US responded to similar actions in Iran; the president held press conferences and pressed the issue at the UN and got Europe to agree to sanctions. With Bahrain, no action was taken; the implication being that protesters' livesans democracy are worth less than navy parking spaces.
US-made tanks sold to Saudi stormed into Bahrain and crushed the protests. The US government decided that was not enough reason to deny further sales.
Re:When they should be... (146 comments)
Current US foreign policy is not "do nothing." The US government backed the Bahraini dictatorship and looked the other way as their police fired on pro-democracy protestors and refused to sanction the government despite its documented use of torture and human rights abuses. Why? Because the Bahraini king allowed the US Navy to park its ships there. The US government approved the sale of weapons to the Saudi dictatorship that human rights groups warned would be used on protestors and for torture (e.g. selling huge shipments of cattle prods to the Saudi government even though they don't have many cows). It's creating a whole generation of people who dislike America, despite the fact that the US was quite popular up until recently.
Re:When they should be... (146 comments)
Citation needed. Sex outside of marriage is referred to as "Zina" in Saudi Arabia, which is not a capital offense. Adultery is a subset of sex crime law, and is punished by flogging if unmarried, only married people qualify for capital punishment for adultery..
Re:When they should be... (146 comments)
Being raped is not a capital crime in Saudi Arabia. The myth of that got out when a married woman claimed she was raped, and since there wasn't enough evidence to prove it, the prosecutor decided to charge her with adultery. It's screwed up and Muslims around the world protested the case, but they're a US-backed dictatorship and that's that.
How better to do it legally? (137 comments)
What would have been a better way to deal with this? Send in a warning and watch it be ignored?
Idiotic point (179 comments)
This is the same with Google Hangouts, WhatsApp, BBM, and all the rest. At least I can copy my iPhone's messages to a PC and archive them.
Apple's security documents show just how secure it actually is, with iMessage using public key cryptography. Are we going to also complain that PGP locks you in too now?

And where were they when Bush was caught doing this in 2005? They voted to legalize it after Bush was caught doing it.
It's still illegal, but seeing them suddenly complain about it reeks of partisanship. (That also goes for the left, where people like Bill Maher suddenly think it's a necessity if Obama does it and not Bush).
Double Standard (598 comments)
Amazing how people frequently bash Muslims, Asians, and Arabs in the UK and nothing happens (even full EDL and BNP rallies in the street), yet an anti-Semitic tweet is cause for arrest. Both are disgusting, but either legalize or ban both.

According to an internal AT&T document, they're dropping in more T-1s in their poorest performing towers, hoping to increase the minimum from 40kbps to 80kpbs. (EDGE's real world max is about 200kbps.)
From The Washington Post:
"A federal appeals court ruled yesterday that the government cannot convict groups or individuals of violating a federal law against "material support" for terrorist organizations unless it proves beyond a reasonable doubt that they knew the organizations were involved in terrorist activity."
From what I've read of Lindh's plea, this could have exonerated him. The article makes it clear that this was a 1996 law, could it be the same one?
Just how weak is presidential security anyways? A small Cessna plane smashed into the White House window when Clinton was in office, 9/11 showed us that the White House was woefully unequipped to handle a plane attack, and now a "potential terrorist" could get this close to Mr. Bush with a car full of stuff? Yikes. Seems LA Times is calling them on how close it was, though the Secret Service is downplaying the matter.
However, Turkey sent in their own troops to Northen Iraq, to prevent the Iraqi Kurds from creating an independent state. That would aggrevate the condition of the Turkish Kurds, who would try to join it.
Get this from the story "The United States strongly opposes any unilateral move by Turkey into northern Iraq, fearing it would disrupt the U.S. campaign to oust Saddam Hussein. Iraqi Kurds ? who like Turkey are U.S. allies ? have threatened attacks on any invading Turkish forces."
Now, PLEASE correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't we going to war with Iraq because they're somehow a "threat"? Bush says we will go unilaterally to war with Iraq since Saddam is "dangerous." And yet, what kind of hypocrites are we if we don't let Turkey take "unilateral action." Apparently we're just arrogant, only WE can be the sheriff.
Already, the US and British military has been notified that they will invade Iraq on March 17, after four days of bombings before that. They are planning to drop more bombs than in any war before this, to completely neutralize the Iraqis. Of course they have been bombed weekly since 1991, and last summer the US bombed the Baghdad airport to prepare for the oncoming war.
Israel is already ready to counter-attack if needed, since they have missiles aimed at Iraq. During the last Gulf War, Iraq launched some Scud missiles at Israel, but the US ordered Israel not to fire back. Unfortunately, they're using the Iraq situation as an excuse to do further operations in Palestine, since they know Iraq is making bigger headlines on tv right now and they're being ignored. Already, a pregnant woman and a young student were killed in crossfire a few days ago, unfortunately I didn't see it get headlines. Also, all the Palestinian universities were closed down a few months ago under Israeli orders.
Meanwhile, Israel has retaliated for the latest suicide bombing, by killing 11 more palestinians with tanks. An Israeli tank fired a shell at a group of Palestinian firefighters putting out a fire and bystanders. The shell hit the burning building, killing 8 and injuring 60. Witnesses said they used a Fletchette shell, which breaks apart into 1,000 miniature arrows and sprays the area with shrapnel. The UN has considered banning them as they are known to do collateral damage to bystanders. There's even video footage on CNN, the firefighters dropping to the ground.
What really gets me upset is how CNN removed a story they were running on tv about how Israeli soldiers were shooting at Palestinian red crescent ambulances. After playing the story three times, one of CNN's managers ordered the story to be removed from TV, because "Israel never gave an explanation or a reason for why they did that [to the ambulances]." All I've found since they removed the story was how ambulance drivers in Palestine were pulled over and arrested.
The World Bank just finished a study and found that almost 2 Million Palestinians are living below the poverty line of $2 a day. Over half the Palestinians are unemployed and their economy has gone from $1.5Billion in 1999 to just $140Million last year. The UN did a study that says Palestinians are turning to growing their own crops for survival now. They fault the Israelis for closing Palestinian businesses and not allowing Palestinians in becuase of checkpoints.
Also, look at this graph comparing the death tolls. At least 2,100 Palestinians have died since 2000 and 700 Israelis have been killed during the same amount of time.
What do you think the Arab world is doing about this? It pains me to say this, but they're pathetic. I'm not only mad that there were only 600 anti-War protestors in Cairo as opposed to the hundreds of thousands in Rome, Paris, NY, London, Beijing, LA, Chicago. There were 2,000 protestors in Tel Aviv against an Iraq war. Cairo's protestors were surrounded by 3,000 Police officers to make sure no riots happened. Update:Now that the war started, Egypt is protesting, and the military turned fire hoses on them. Rioting and Flag-burning in South Asia too.
No, the reason I'm mad is because the governments are all useless. Yesterday, the Organization of Islamic Conference was held in Qatar by all the Arab countries. What got done there? Nothing. It ended in a Shouting match. Iraq's vice chairman told the Kuwaiti foreign minister "Shut up, you monkey" and then said an Arab curse "Curse be upon your mustache, you traitor." The Kuwaiti minister called the Iraqi a hypocrite, which is a major insult in Arab culture, and his other minister jumped up waving a Kuwaiti flag. At the same time, the article mentions that UAE ordered 80 f-16 fighter jets from the US, paying $6.5Billion, the largest order for airplanes ever.
This is all upsetting to me, it means that the Arab governments can't deal with what's going on. Once Iraq falls, the US will put a puppet government in power, who will almost give away all their oil, which means we could attack Saudi Arabia if we can get Oil from somewhere else. Because of the sudden demand for SUVs and big cars these last few years, we require over 280,000 extra barrels of oil per day for the SUVs. Bush broke his campaign promise and is drilling for Oil in alaska because it can give us 580,000 barrels of oil a day. That's enough for everyone to go and buy even more SUVs.
Sharon said that after we finish attacking Iraq, then we should go for Iran next. Iran hasn't bothered us, they've only been threatening to Israel, but I can imagine in a few months that Bush will say they are also dangerous for some reason. What I am more worried about is how the Saudi government, to me, looks like the next target. Nobody really likes the Saudi government. It's a kingdom that the people don't support, but we keep our troops there because any revolution that occurs would interrupt our flow of oil. 19 of the 9/11 hijackers came from Saudi Arabia, and recently one of the Saudi Royal family is suspected of writing checks to the hijackers. I have a strong feeling that once Iraq is finished, the US is going to blame Saudi Arabia for helping Al Qaeda, and will have even better evidence than they did for Iraq. Now here's where things get dangerous, if the US attacks Saudi Arabia in any way, I can imagine the princes and leaders fleeing into Mecca and Medina. If the US government goes anywhere near them at all, Muslims around the world will fight back.
Or there's another alternative, Iraq could launch a scud missile with Anthrax or Uranium at Israel. Israel would almost definately counterattack, probably using one of their 200 nuclear missiles. If they nuke baghdad, the Arab world would all protest to declare war on Israel and the US. It's not hard to see the Taliban rise back up again, and Karzai and Musharraf getting assasinated and more radical Islamic governments replacing them. The problem is that if that happens then they might go to war with India over Kashmir, with nuclear missiles. Someone already drew all this out on a map, called it World War 2.5.
Let's not forget local events:The mall shopper who was arrested in nearby Albany's Crossgates Mall for wearing a "Give Peace A Chance" t-shirt that he purchased in the same mall. When interviewed on CNN, he said he was sitting in the food court eating when a security guard ordered him to take the shirt off. There was no obscenity on the shirt, nobody was complaining, and he was quietly eating. This story hit international news, one more reason for the rest of the world to hate us.
Of course, we're going to "spread democracy" to Iraq. Check out the US' timeline of how we spread democracy(!) thus far.
The US diplomat who publicly quit his job certainly thinks so. After 20 years of service in places like Tel Aviv and Yemen, he wrote an open letter to his boss Colin Powell. He can't bear to see the US ruin a century of good foreign relations and trust that built up between the US and the international community. Now we're making France and Germany hate us.
France and Germany publicly said they don't support war, they want to let the inspections work. That's good, because the inspection team destroys any weapons they come accross as well as look for WMDs to report. That same day, pro-Bush supporters condemned France, saying they're cowards, idiots, fools, smelly, prissy, and too ready to surrender. It's amazing how fast everyone suddenly turned around and said they hate France. Weren't they our friend last month? No no no, you see, apparently we've always hated them. Isn't it scary how fast people will believe things? Already a diner just changed their name of "french fries" on the menu to "Freedom Fries."
The death of 2 afghan prisoners in US custody, ruled a Homicide from "blunt force trauma"[Beating] by the Army investigators. This is the first kind of fatality in US custody, since the US government officially states it does not "torture" people. However, they've been following Israel's methods known as "Stress and Duress" which involves non-evidence, non-lethal, but definately painful methods of collecting information from people. The Washington Post released a shocking report, but nobody really wanted to talk about it over Christmas season. Now that Sheikh Muhammad has been captured, the newspapers are debating the ethics over whether it should be legal to torture him for information. Israel's and our official policy is to not torture anyone, even if there's a hidden ticking bomb somewhere. However, this doesn't stop them from getting shipped-- I mean "rendered" to the custody of Jordan, Morocco, Egypt, and Pakistan, who do perform that.
Such efforts were successful in the past; in 1995 an Al Qaeda agent was arrested in the Phillipenes. They knew he was in on a major operation, but they didn't know what. So they tortured him the old fashioned way, breaking his ribs and burning his testicles. After two weeks he broke, and revealed the plan to hijack 11 planes. Of course, a poll on AOL's front page voted 70% Yes to using some form of torture. Editorials aren't so rosy either, one says we should kill terrorists and smear them with pig fat so they won't get into heaven somehow.
I seem to remember the philosopher Nietzche who said "Battle not with monsters, lest ye become a monster." That means we shouldn't sink to their level or worse. Who would be the barbarian then? We seem to be ignoring the "innocent until proven guilty" law, even though it's better to let ten guilty men walk free than let one innocent one suffer. The US will never officially condone any cruel or unusual punishment, but Israel taught them that sleep deprivation, chaining in uncomfortable positions, harsh lights, and interrogation by women will usually yield results.
May I remind you that Saddam tortures children in front of their fathers to make them confess. That's horrible. However, I'm a bit worried about Sheikh Muhammad's two young sons, 9 and 7, being arrested by the CIA and flown to America to help pressure their father to confess. Of course, the US won't deny that the man himself is being subject to "Stress and duress" right now. "Let's just say we are not averse to a little smacky face. After all, if you don't violate a prisoner's human rights some of the time then you aren't doing your job?" said a CIA officer, admitting they honed their interrogation techniques since Vietnam.
Of course, the fact that Mr. Bin Laden called Saddam an "infidel" (though that english translation is incorrect, since that word doesn't exist outside Christianity) doesn't change the fact that Bush still links Saddam to Al Qaeda. I mean, North Korea launched a test missile that landed in Alaska. Let me repeat that, since it needs repeating. North Korea fired a test missile that landed in Alaska. How is Iraq our top priority?
It still confuses many Americans that, in a world full of vicious slimeballs, we're about to bomb one that didn't attack us on 9/11 (like Osama); that isn't intercepting our planes (like North Korea); that isn't financing Al Qaeda (like Saudi Arabia); that isn't home to Osama and his lieutenants (like Pakistan); that isn't a host body for terrorists (like Iran, Lebanon and Syria).
I would have loved to see Bush debate Saddam publicly. I get the feeling that the US would lose the arguement if that ever happened.
I don't really know what to do. All I can say is pray. God willing, things will improve.

Where folks were posting about yellowing buds, my problem was blackened buds first noticed when we had those very high temps and humid weather. I posted on the AHS Robin to see if any one could help me determine what had happened.
Most folks have never experienced this but several folks who live in the hot and humid zones, said it was sunburned buds and they had seen it before. Why some daylilies and not all of mine? Theory given it could be that some of the buds had more moisture within and therefore they became more susceptible to the extreme heat over several days. Just so you know, these are the cultivars that got impacted:
Here is the pic of what happened and of course, it had to be my beautiful INHERITED WEALTH so full of black buds. Julia |
Follow-Up Postings:
I had quite a bit of that happen to me here too. Frankly, it had been warm, but I wouldn't have thought "that warm" I was blaming it more on dry conditions & off/on early weather pattern. Most of mine were new daylilies though & a couple of my more delicate flowers. You know, the thinner blossoms. I'm thinking Inherited Wealth though is more substantial flower, so there went my explanation. It is kind of like thrips, isn't it? Why one plant is covered with them while none of the surrounded ones are bothered. |

Humm. wow, not sure what to make of those pictures! |
- Posted by organic_kitten 7 (My Page) on Tue, Jun 26, 12 at 12:23
I haven't had that happen to me. YET. I wonder if it is a quick change to high temp rather than the ferocious heat alone than causes it. We have so much ferocious heat, you would think I would have seen it if it were the heat alone that caused it. I wonder if Linda or Kathy or Jean have had that happen? kay |
Oh no :( Poor buds. Look how many of them and the plant so wanted to flower. Thankfully, it's just a few of dls, and next year they will be alright. Of the four you mentioned I only have Wren's Song - mine is in bad condition too, I'll probably have one or two deformed splotchy flowers, and the rest of the buds will fall off. |
- Posted by katlynnlily 8b-FL (My Page) on Tue, Jun 26, 12 at 14:17
Interesting. I haven't seen this before. What is puzzling me is that not all the buds on your scapes are black...some are green. Or are my eyes deceiving me? If it was sunburn, wouldn't all the buds on a single scape be affected? Hmmmm. I can tell you that this was the worst spring for daylilies that I've ever had...lots of short scapes, mishapen flowers that bloomed several weeks too early, yellowing foliage, rust, etc. The good news is that I've had above average rebloom (on nice tall scapes) and the rust has gone dormant. And I have bananas growing for the first time! All the tropical plants are doing great thanks to the mild winter. Julia, I'm curious to know if these black bud will produce normal flowers. Or do they shrivel up and fall off? I'm assuming you've pulled one off and checked inside for worms, insects? Be sure to give us an update when/if they start blooming. Kathy |
- Posted by anniegolden z7a (My Page) on Tue, Jun 26, 12 at 14:42
On the bright side, are all those scapes on INHERITED WEALTH? If so, Wow! Please post a clump shot if enough of the buds survive the 'blackened bud' problem. Christine |
I haven't pulled any buds off and figured to leave them alone to see if they shrivel up and drop or will they continue to grow and bloom. Kathy you make a good suggestion. I'll take a couple of the buds and slice it open tonight to see what is inside, if anything. One from each of the plants that showed this problem. I've NEVER had this happen here before and some of these have been here several years so they've been through the best of weather and the worse. Ugly foliage is a given this year. Julia |
That is odd that only some of them in the same cluster have the blackened tips. And from the pictures it looks like the more mature buds are unaffected. Never seen it here, never hope to. Will look forward to hearing your report on how the buds open - blackened and unblackened. Hopefully it's only cosmetic damage to the outside of the buds.....Maryl |
Well I took one off INHERITED WEALTH. No bugs,worms,etc inside. All looked normal. Even more fascinating is that the yellow anthers were developing inside. All the inside petals/sepals developing were normal. So it only seems the outside of the bloom got burned. More to come when I see if these blackened buds bloom or not. Julia |
I certainly am curious about those buds. Wen and if they open, I would like to see them. I really feel it's a weather condition though.. Ellie |
I just found this on Emperor Butterfly. Wll be watching to see what happens. The buds affected seem to be currently growing just fine from what I can tell...hmmm... |
Just to show the bud of Stealth Bomber is going to be opening. Notice how the outer part of the tip of the pod is now not so black but showing more brown tone. I've had two blooms of SB yesterday and both were dogs and neither of them had been affected with the blackened buds. Maybe tomorrow or the next day the bud will fully open. Then I'll be able to see what damage it caused. The buds on Inherited Wealth have not changed and remain small still . More to come. Julia |

A mother in the Bronx is arguing against the social promotion of her 11-year-old son with special needs because she believes he is not ready for 6th grade. What the mother is asking for seems reasonable—if her son has failed to master 5th grade work, why would he be able to do 6th grade work? Yet, the school's desire to socially promote the student is unusual. But is the alternative, grade retention, a more viable option?
Social promotion became popular in the 1970s due to fears that its alternative; namely, retention, led to issues with self-esteem for those students who were "flunked" a grade. However, social promotion fell into disfavor in the 1980s with the recognition that students who were receiving high school diplomas were ill-prepared for either college or work. Social promotion went on to became a political issue when President Clinton, in his 1999 State of the Union Address, declared that, "No child should graduate from high school with a diploma he or she can't read. We do our children no favors when we allow them to pass from grade to grade without mastering the material."

According to Jon Heyman of CBS Sports, Oakland Athletics starting pitcher Bartolo Colon faces a 50-game suspension for failing an MLB drug test by testing positive for testosterone.
Colon missed all of 2000, but bounced back last season with the New York Yankees after receiving a controversial stem-cell treatment on his arm that is typically coupled with the use of human growth hormone. The right-handed pitcher denied that he underwent that aspect of the treatment at the time, and this past off season he doubled his salary from the previous year, and signed a $2 million deal with Oakland.
This season, Colon has made 24 starts with the A's, and ranks as the team's second best starter according to fWAR. It's a blow for the Athletics who surprisingly find themselves in playoff contention, currently a half game back of a Wild Card spot. However, Brett Anderson's recent return from injury and Dan Straily's effectiveness should mitigate some of the loss from Colon's departure.
