The Truth About MARGARET SANGER
in Motivation
How Planned Parenthood Duped America
At a March 1925 international birth control gathering in New York City, a speaker warned of the menace posed by the "black" and "yellow" peril. The man was not a Nazi or Klansman; he was Dr. S. Adolphus Knopf, a member of Margaret Sanger's American Birth Control League (ABCL), which along with other groups eventually became known as Planned Parenthood.
Sanger's other colleagues included avowed and sophisticated racists. One, Lothrop Stoddard, was a Harvard graduate and the author of The Rising Tide of Color against White Supremacy. Stoddard was something of a Nazi enthusiast who described the eugenic practices of the Third Reich as "scientific" and "humanitarian." And Dr. Harry Laughlin, another Sanger associate and board member for her group, spoke of purifying America's human "breeding stock" and purging America's "bad strains." These "strains" included the "shiftless, ignorant, and worthless class of antisocial whites of the South."
Not to be outdone by her followers, Margaret Sanger spoke of sterilizing those she designated as "unfit," a plan she said would be the "salvation of American civilization.: And she also spike of those who were "irresponsible and reckless," among whom she included those " whose religious scruples prevent their exercising control over their numbers." She further contended that "there is no doubt in the minds of all thinking people that the procreation of this group should be stopped." That many Americans of African origin constituted a segment of Sanger considered "unfit" cannot be easily refuted.

Wisdom Wednesday - William Garner Grand Jury Decision/ Bill Cosby Guilty or Not
in Motivation
A grand jury declined to bring charges against a New York police officer following the death of Staten Island man Eric Garner, Richmond County district attorney Daniel M. Donovan, Jr. said in a written statement to the media.
"After deliberation on the evidence presented in this matter, the grand jury found that there was no reasonable cause to vote an indictment," the statement reads.
Garner, 43, died July 17 after Officer Daniel Pantaleo was filmed placing him in what appears to be a chokehold during an arrest.
Garner family attorney Jonathan Moore told the Associated Press that the family was "astonished by the decision." Speaking to the New York Times, Moore added, "It's very upsetting to us – we obviously hope that the U.S. attorney for the Eastern District, Loretta Lynch, will take a close look at this."
"We think people should express their objections to this grand jury verdict, but we urge on behalf of the family that any protest be peaceful," Moore said.Pantaleo commented on the decision in a statement released through the NYC Patrolmen's Benevolent Association. "I became a police officer to help people and to protect those who can't protect themselves," he said, adding, "it is never my intention to harm anyone and I feel very bad about the death of Mr. Garner. My family and I include him and his family in our prayers and I hope that they will accept my personal condolences for their loss.
Ferguson - What's the Verdict
in Motivation
CLAYTON, Mo./FERGUSON, Mo. - Missouri officials plan to announce a grand jury's decision on whether to criminally charge a white police officer in the August fatal shooting of an unarmed black teenager in Ferguson at 8 p.m. local time (0200 GMT) on Monday, authorities said.
The death of 18-year-old Michael Brown, a resident of a predominantly black city with a white-dominated power structure, sparked weeks of sometimes violent protests in the St. Louis suburb and has become a flashpoint for strained U.S. race relations.
Activists in Ferguson and around the United States have been preparing for the grand jury's decision for weeks.
St. Louis County Prosecutor Bob McCulloch's office plans to announce the finding in Clayton, Missouri, where the grand jury met, spokesman Ed Magee said.
Missouri Governor Jay Nixon has called up the National Guard and local officials have been planning a massive police presence to quell any potential violence, particularly if officer Darren Wilson is not indicted in the Aug. 9 shooting.

Nixon plans to make a public plea for peace at 5:30 p.m. local time (2330 GMT) in remarks at the University of St. Louis, a spokesman said.
The grand jury, with nine white and three black members, has been meeting since late August, and has heard evidence including witnesses called by the prosecution as well as a private pathologist hired by the Brown family to review the shooting. Nine jurors need to agree to bring charges.

Notions of race are created to justify slavery because once you point out differences in people, it is easier to start judging and ranking them; positioning some races as more superior than others. One way this has been demonstrated in America is during the time of Jim Crow Laws. By this time slavery had been abolished but this was a new type of slavery. These laws limited certain freedoms and separated and ranked citizens solely based on race. Some of these limited freedoms included separate eating areas, separate drinking fountains, and separate bathrooms. Jim Crow laws were eventually abolished but this slavery idea still exists today but more through socially constructed laws versus U.S. laws. Examples of this include the war on drugs and the multiple cases of cops treating people unfairly based on the color of their skin.
Several racial bribes representative of Jim Crow Laws that exist in America today include the mass imprisonment of more people of color than white people, the war on drugs, and discrimination. As Alexander points out in her book, The New Jim Crow, mass imprisonment started back during the Civil Rights Movement when people of color would do legal acts, such as protesting, they would be viewed and handled as criminal acts. The rise in crime rates was also linked not to any other social and economic factor but only to the African American unemployment rates and the Civil Rights Movement. This type of thinking was lead by the conservatives to secretly find ways to maintain white supremacy in America. This crime was also what sparked the war on drugs, which increased the surveillance and severity of punishment for possession or the selling of drugs. Drugs and crime in areas of poverty where there was a great African American population and by cracking down on drugs they could arrest and charge more people of color. Lastly, discrimination is still seen today in jobs, income, living situations, care, and education.
Resurrecting Apartheid: War On Black America
in Motivation
It seems like no exaggeration to suggest that at this moment, a half-century after the greatest victories of the civil rights movement, America is drifting backwards towards apartheid. It's not a word I use lightly, nor one we are accustomed to using when describing our current condition. Indeed, its not even a word that most are willing to utter when referencing our past. It's a word we like to reserve for others, for the formerly white-dominated South Africa, but not for ourselves, and certainly not now, what with a black president and all.
But beyond the presence of brown faces in high places, can anyone really claim without gagging on the sheer dimensions of the lie, that we are even within intercontinental-ballistic-missile-striking-distance of that state of post-raciality so many naive white folks assured us had arrived upon the election of Barack Obama? People like Rudy Giuliani and William Bennett and John Bolton and Ann Coulter, all of whom proclaimed racism essentially over as soon as the election had been called?
Is it really a stretch to call it apartheid, even as one after another after another after another black male (roughly one every 28 hours) — and more than a few black women and girls — are gunned down by police or vigilantes in city after city and town after town, unarmed, or armed only with an air rifle in a Wal-Mart? And this, even as white men can point their guns at federal officials or parade around the streets, or in Target or churches or Chipotle, or bars (because guns around booze is always a great idea) or anywhere they damned well please with weapons — real ones, with bullets — and be left to see another day? Or in some cases even lauded as heroes and the new "freedom riders," standing up for their constitutional rights?
What's Really Going on in Ferguson.
in Motivation
FERGUSON, Mo. — Gov. Jay Nixon declared a state of emergency on Monday, allowing him to activate the Missouri National Guard in preparation for a grand jury decision on whether to indict a white police officer for shooting to death an unarmed black teenager, Michael Brown, three months ago.
The declaration was certain to add to mounting tension here as people awaited the grand jury's decision, which officials have said is expected in mid- to late November. Many here have said they expect the grand jury to decide against indicting the Ferguson officer, Darren Wilson, and they anticipate a show of anger and protest afterward. Some protesters said that calling up the Guard before a grand jury decision was a premature, antagonistic move that presumed that demonstrations would be violent.

The Blue Planet Project
in Motivation
The following document is believed to be the personal notes and scientific dairy of a scientist who was contracted by the government over several years to visit all crash sites, interrogate captured Alien Life Forms and analyze all data gathered from that endeavor. He also wrote notes on or about any documents which he came in contact with, which in any way related directly or indirectly to the organization, structure or operation for the collection of such data.
This individual was discovered to have kept and maintained such personal notes and therefore was scheduled for termination. He narrowly escaped termination by the government and is currently in hiding out of this country.
We believe his involvement in these investigations span over a thirty-three (33) year period. He was soon discovered and immediately went into hiding in 1990.
We modified his personal notes only so slightly, and only when necessary to make them flow together and read correctly.
When you read this document, it may disturb you. The real facts have a tendency to do exactly that, but this information needs to get to the general public. I caution you to use your best judgment when allowing a minor child to read this document.
At this time, to the best of the data we have available, there are at least one hundred and sixty (160) species or races of Aliens from different galaxies, stars and planets we have encountered. You will find as much data (as we have available thru 1990) on each race in the following pages, as each race is discussed. There are still more Aliens we haven't encountered yet but we feel it won't be long before we do...

The first Scottsdale City Council meeting of 2008 will be stacked with high-profile items — some ready for a final vote — others perhaps just starting to heat up.
Tuesday may see the end of a two-year effort to update the transportation master plan, a $1.2 million review that became as well known for what it didn't include — a light rail or streetcar recommendation — than what it did.
The meeting could launch the new evaluation process for top city officials — including City Manager Jan Dolan — that for the first time would include a written, publicly-released evaluation.
The council also is scheduled to debate whether to repeal a portion of the city's sales tax on food, an item placed on the agenda by Councilman Tony Nelssen.
Finally, the council is set to decide whether to spend $5.2 million to construct a new road that will connect the One Scottsdale development to Hayden Road.
The council has the opportunity to give its final nod to the transportation master plan, which is expected to guide the city's transportation needs through 2030.
The plan provides no answers, however, to one of the most sought-after questions involving transportation needs in Scottsdale: Whether the city should pursue light rail or modern streetcar along Scottsdale Road. The plan instead calls for further study on that issue.
The council last month voted to join Valley Metro Rail that could lead to Scottsdale joining a light rail extension study.
The transportation plan supported an increase in the percentage of funds spent on projects to benefit transit users, bikers and walkers — up to 33 percent from 26 percent.
It rejects a reversible lane concept on Indian School Road between downtown and Loop 101, and limits Scottsdale and Pima roads north of Happy Valley Road to four lanes each. The plan also supports reducing a lane on Drinkwater and Goldwater boulevards through downtown and eliminating an airport tunnel, while supporting additional intersection capacity around town and a new road around the airpark.
A discussion originally scheduled Tuesday on a possible September light-rail vote was put on hold. Nelssen said he's called for the postponement because a number of issues need to be resolved, including how a vote would affect the region and the city's possible participation in a light rail extension study. Also, Nelssen wanted to know how the result would be enforced. The councilman said he plans to bring it back at a future meeting.
The council is slated to consider repealing a portion of its sales tax on groceries, but the move could cost the city more than $6 million a year in revenue.
Nelssen proposes eliminating 1 percent of the 1.65 percent tax Scottsdale levies on food items bought for home consumption.
The move would eliminate the portion of the tax that goes into the city's General Fund. In the last fiscal year, the General Fund portion of that tax amounted to $6.3 million in city revenue, or 2.5 percent of the General Fund budget, according to a report from city finance officials.
Another possibility is to provide some residents an exemption from the grocery tax based on factors like the buyer's age and economic status, Nelssen has said.
City Manager Jan Dolan and three others could learn the details of how they will be evaluated by the council in the coming months.
It will be the first time a written document is produced expressing the council's views of Dolan, City Attorney Deborah Robberson, City Auditor Cheryl Dreska and City Clerk Carolyn Jagger.
Last time, the city refused to release the self-evaluation to the Tribune, which subsequently sued and forced the release of the document. This year, both the self-evaluation and council's written evaluation will be available to the public.
The council is expected to finalize how it will measure the employees' job performances and what will be included in the written evaluation.
Scottsdale could spend more than $5 million for a ¾-mile section of roadway meant to connect the privately-owned, $1.5 billion One Scottsdale commercial center to Hayden Road.
The city would be reimbursed for the expense by fees on future development along the roadway, said Kroy Ekblaw, the city's planning systems general manager.
The City Council is slated to consider awarding a $5.2 million contract for the project to Blucor Contracting Inc.
The road would connect to a future portion of Center Drive to be built by DMB Associates, developers of One Scottsdale. The road, which ultimately is expected to be a total of four lanes with a landscaped median, would bisect the 120-acre One Scottsdale, which is now under construction.
"Certainly it benefits the project," Ekblaw said. "It benefits the city in general. It will be another east-west access for folks in that area."
The roadway is expected to take up to 16 months to compete, he said.
Development plans for One Scottsdale call for 1.8 million square feet of commercial, retail and office space, 400 resort and hotel rooms and 1,100 residential units on the northeast corner of Scottsdale Road and Loop 101 in Scottsdale.

Old rhino and tiger die at Zoo Miami on same day, a rare loss
Zoo Miami's oldest rhino and a tiger both died in captivity, the rhino of old age and the cat of liver failure.
When Mohan first came to Miami-Dade County's sandy shores from his native India, Richard Nixon was president, four students had been shot to death by the National Guard at Kent State University, and the New York Knicks won their first and only basketball title.
Tevi hadn't been here nearly that long. Born in the country of Malaya, she lived in Cincinnati for a decade before finally settling down in Miami-Dade two years ago.
On Monday, Mohan, a 44-year-old Indian Rhino, and Tevi, a 13-year-old Malayan tigress, both died at Zoo Miami — a rare double loss of two of the zoo's largest and most high-profile mammals on the same day. Autopsies revealed Mohan died of old age. Tevi died after a months-long battle with liver failure.
"Two animals of that caliber dying on the same day, it's extremely rare. I can't remember it happening before," said Zoo Miami Communications Director Ron Magill.
Mohan was believed to be the oldest rhino in captivity in the world, Magill said.
The animal arrived at the Crandon Park Zoo in 1970, a gift from world traveler and philanthropist Ralph Scott. Nowadays zoos receive new animals mostly through trades with other zoos. Back then, obtaining wild animals worked a little differently. Magill said Scott was able to purchase the almost three-ton rhino from the country of Nepal. By 1981, when Zoo Miami opened its gates in South Miami-Dade, Mohan made the move.
Magill said Scott was able to obtain many animals for Zoo Miami, including Princess, the zoo's first white tiger. A statue of her stands at the park today.
Magill recalled the intimacy of Crandon Park Zoo. Though the tiny cages would be "unacceptable" today, he has fond memories of hanging out with Mohan in his tiny cage, feeding him carrots.
As the rhino aged he became one of the zoo's star attractions, with large donors allowed intimate, behind-the-scenes contact.
"There are probably thousands of people today who remember touching him, feeding him," Magill said.
The zoo had big plans for Tevi.
Already 12, which is up there in tiger years, Tevi had recently been "accepted" by another tiger at the zoo, and zookeepers were hoping for little offspring.
But a few months ago Tevi became lethargic and doctors discovered a failing liver. There are only 600 Malayan tigers left in the world, and Magill isn't certain when or how the zoo can find another. He said curators are talking to other zoos about a possible replacement.
"We'd prefer a young female," he said.
As for replacing Mohan — that will never happen, Magill said.
The zoo already has a pair of rhinos, a male named Jaunpur and his lady-friend Kalu. Only a year ago Kalu gave birth to Anola, who Magill said is doing well.
The past few years, Mohan had been too old to showcase. He lived out his life quietly, on a piece of zoo property not accessible to visitors.
Those who worked at the zoo, though, visited with Mohan all the time, Magill said.
"It was like he was retired in a spa," he said. "Every day with him was a gift."

Hey all, I'm growing things for the first time ever. I need help if someone can lead me in the right direction. Here's the thing...I have like 10 large 7.5 gallon pots I need to fill for tomatoes, bell peppers and romaine lettuce. So I don't know how much soil I need after germination and what I am suppose to mix together. This is my local store, can someone tell me how much and of what I need to buy to cover about 75 gallons? http://www.wetmores.ca/garden_center_and_nursery.html |

The GW "Container Gardening" forum has some current threads on this very topic that are very informative. Check it out. Hope that helps. |
Your soil choice is probably going to have more influence on whether you're successful or frustrated in your efforts, and how wide your margin for grower error is than any other single variable, so choose well. You'll find tools that will help you decide what's most foolproof and easiest for you at the link below. You'll even find some recipes that provide good starting points. Al |

Thanks! |
You are going to be growing things in containers so you want a soilless mix, potting soil,not garden soil or topsoil. Often the potting soil is sold in bags by the gallon so you would need enough to fill 75 gallons. |
Making your own container media isn't difficult, and it usually ends up being less than half the cost of commercially prepared soils. Also, if you learn the importance of the air:water relationship in container media and how water behaves in same, you'll be able to avoid the water retention issues inherent in soils based on fine particulates like peat, compost, coir, composted forest products, sand, topsoil, et al. Al |
Thanks for the heads up guys. It's all so confusing and a bit overwhelming. I was hoping someone would say, okay, you need this many gallons of this, this many of that etc to fill 75 gallons but I can totally understand why it's a bit more vague than that. |

I have had excellent results from Eliot Coleman's book, The New Organic Grower, second Edition. I use his Soil Block mix (NB not the mini block mix) for my potted plants. Most commercial potting mixes do not contain nutrients, soil or compost. Coleman writes (pg 138) ""Although most modern growing mediums no longer include any real soil, I have found both soil and compost to be important for plant growth in a mix. Together they replace the "loam" of the successful old-time potting mixtures."" This mix will provide lots of nutrients, particularly the trace elements, so vital to a healthy crop. Yes, it is more work, but it is truly worth it. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Lively Dirt - the Garden Blog
Thanks! |
Providing nutrition for containerized plants is monkey easy, so it makes absolutely no sense to sacrifice structure so you can crow about a soil that feeds the plant. Container soils are about structure, not nutrition. Growing in the garden is more than a half a world apart from conventional container culture, which is MUCH closer to hydroponics than growing in the garden. Everyone can make up their own minds, of course, but it is soo counterproductive to start adding 'things' like topsoil, sand, and other fine particulates that destroy aeration and increase water retention. No soil is a good soil for conventional container growing if it can't be watered to beyond the point of complete saturation w/o having to worry about a significant fraction of the soil remaining wet so long it rots roots or compromises root function. A healthy plant isn't possible unless the root system is healthy, and a healthy root system is far more difficult to achieve in soggy soils made of fine particulates. Al |

Coleman is a master scientist when it comes to growing things. Al, have you studied what he has written... from forty years of experience? |
- Posted by connie_cola DE 7 (My Page) on Mon, Mar 3, 14 at 17:56
Coleman is not as knowledgeable as Tapla when it comes to container gardening. Al is The Expert, so leave behind your notions of Coleman if you want to learn how to do it right. Tapla has the best soil-less container mix recipes. |
If Coleman would like to join us, I'd be happy to parse our ideas about how to get the most out of container media - how to give our plants the best opportunity to realize their genetic potential. I guarantee it won't be in a soil that retains a lot of perched water, like all soils made of fine particulates do. How can you build a case around soils that kill roots when they're flooded and essentially devoid of the O2 that plants need to absorb water and nutrients, let alone the chemical complications anaerobic conditions present? If you build a soil with the idea in mind that it must provide a favorable air:water ratio for the life of the planting and take on your shoulders the airy burden of providing the nutrition your planting needs, you're on the right track. Stick with the peat, compost, coir, sand, topsoil ..... mixes and you'll be fighting against the limiting effects of the soil for the life of the planting. Al |
- Posted by LivelyDirt Zn 4 (My Page) on Mon, Mar 3, 14 at 20:18
Al, you seem to assuming there is a large percentage of soil in Coleman's mix. Not so. You really need to get his book from the library and at least give him a fair hearing. I would love to have him on this site, but I can tell you he is far too busy harvesting, planting, etc.. His mix contains 30 qts. peat, 20 qts. perlite, 20 qts. compost and only 10 qts good soil... plus his fertilizer recommendations. Coleman advocates this as his Soil Block mix, but it has worked very well for my pots. |
I needn't assume anything. The percentage of 'soil' in the mix you described isn't as important as the o/a % of fine ingredients. At a glance, just by knowing what's in it and how much of what, you can tell the soil is extremely water retentive. Everything in the mix is fine, with the POSSIBLE exception of the perlite - we don't really know what might be used as far as the size of the perlite goes, but it really isn't important. Even if we assume the perlite is coarse, the soil still doesn't meet the threshold volume for enough coarse ingredients to ensure the fine ingredients won't unfavorably limit aeration. Imagine that you have 6 parts of fine stuff and 2 parts of coarse material (that's how it shakes out, and the 2 parts of coarse is generous). Let's start with the 2 parts of coarse material and call it marbles so we can easily envision all the valuable air spaces between the particles. Now add your 6 parts of fine material. What happens? ALL the large air spaces are filled with fine particles that turn to mud when they get wet. There are physical laws that can't be ignored because someone wants to grow in compost and topsoil. In order for the perlite to be of any use insofar as an aid to aeration or drainage, it would need to be somewhere around 75-80% of the o/a mix, and the perlite particles would need to be somewhat uniform in size and larger than about .100". Even if his mix was half perlite, the fine particles would simply surround the perlite negating any possibility it would measurably increase aeration or drainage, or reduce the ht of the perched water table. The only + perlite offers in the soil you described is it takes up space that might otherwise be filled with the remaining ingredients, which would be saturated to PWT ht at container capacity - it marginally helps reduce the water retention of an extremely water-retentive mix. Container capacity is the state of water retention after a medium has been saturated and has just stopped draining. Now, consider a soil that is 75% chunky pine bark and 12% each of peat and perlite. >87% of the mix is chunky, so the 12% peat can't fill all the air spaces between the particles. This means that practically NO water is held between soil particles, almost all water is held on the surface of particles or inside soil particles. That means the soil remains well aerated from top to bottom and the perched water table, if there is one, is insignificant in ht. Soils like that allow you to flush the soil at will w/o having to worry about root rot or impaired root function, and they allow you to put in place an effective fertilizer program - one that puts the grower in complete control of nutrition and leaves no doubt about how much of what (nutritionally) is available at any given time. That's the difference between a soil you'll have to fight and one that works FOR you. Al |

Al, where can I look at your ideal soil-less mix pls? |
"Ideal" isn't a word I would choose. What I push is a concept that has proven to make growing in containers easier and more productive for a lot of growers, and it can be implemented at less than half the price of commercially prepared media based on fine material (peat, compost, composted forest products, sand .....). There are recipes near the end of the thread, if you follow this link, that provide good starting points; but gaining an understanding of the information you'll find there, rather than just following the simple and basic recipes, probably represents the largest step forward a container gardener can make at any given time - that whole give a man a fish/ teach a man to fish thing. The more thoroughly you understand the concept, the more latitude you'll have in implementing it. Still, many are successful just following the basic recipes. The link is to a thread I started in 2005. The conversation has been ongoing since then, and there have been almost 2,700 posts to it. On another gardening site, the same thread has received over 49,000 views. The info in it has helped a very large number of growers turn their growing experience around. Hopefully you'll find some of the same value others have. Best luck. Al |

Fort Lauderdale began as a farming town, but over the past century has become a hub of tourism. People from the African Diaspora have come to live in this city of diversity and have ties to its early history.
African American history in Fort Lauderdale began with workers and slaves serving on Spanish ships in the 16th century. In the 1800's, a black cook, whose name has never been discovered, helped open an overnight camp and ferry.
Known as the Stranahan Trading Post, this endeavor helped launch what is now downtown Fort Lauderdale. It still exists today for tours to the public.

AT&T planning 4G rollout for 2011
Kris Rinne, AT&T's senior vice president of architecture and planning, said the company hopes to have its Long Term Evolution (LTE) fourth-generation network available by 2011.

Mary, I descend from Malinda Jane Hulan married to William Lawrence Hudson - 1844, Rowan Co., NC. As Malinda Jane Hulan was married and not listed on the 1850 census with Jonathan and Eliza Hulan, I have no documentation that she is their daughter. Do you know if there is a family Bible, Deed, Will, orbit, etc, that can prove that she was their daughter? At one time, I had the newpaper death notice of Malinda Jane Hulan but can no longer find it. Do you have a copy? I would appreciate the newspaper and date. I do have a copy of her official death record as well as a copy of the 1947 newspaper article on William Ashville Hulan. D. Notify Administrator about this message?

Just like the series against the Twins, this upcoming series will be almost completely meaningless. While the Indians do have some player evaluations to do for next year, there is little to be learned in series against teams in the same situation as the Indians. Both the Twins and Royals are also evaluating young talent, making these games more like the AAA games that most of these players were playing in a month ago.
End of Season Goals:
- Masterson to .500: Justin's start in game one of this series will be his third to last on the year, meaning he must win all three starts to get to .500
- 43 Saves for Pure Rage: This one is still possible, but he hasn't made any progress over the last two series as each of the Indians wins has been a walk-off.
- Not losing 100 games: At 62 wins, the Indians are almost to the point of being safe from losing 100 games. They only have to win one more game of their last twelve to do so and since they haven't lost 12 in a row all season, they should probably be able to handle this. As soon as they win one game, the new goal should be to move ahead of the Twins in the standings to end the season in fourth place.
September 21st, 8:10 PM ET: Justin Masterson, RHP, 11-14, 4.93 ERA vs Luis Mendoza, RHP, 7-9, 4.50 ERA
The Indians continued on with their winning of a single game each series with a final game win against Twins. If they are going to continue that trend, this will be the game to win as the Indians have their best pitcher going and the best match-up against the opposing pitcher. In four games against the Tribe in his career, Mendoza has allowed 15 runs (11 earned).
September 22nd, 7:10 PM ET: Ubaldo Jimenez, RHP, 9-16, 5.14 ERA vs Will Smith, LHP, 5-8, 5.08 ERA
Smith will be making his second start against the Indians this year. He won his first start which took place during the time of the year when the Indians were struggling against left-handed pitching (April through September).
September 23rd, 2:10 PM ET: David Huff, LHP, 1-0, 2.61 ERA vs Jake Odorizzi, RHP, 11-3, 2.93 ERA (AAA)
This will be Huff's second start of the year after being fairly awful in his last outing. Huff will get two more starts this season, including this one and you can't really expect him to get any better. He has been hanging around for years at this point and the Indians have to have already seen everything they need to from the lefty.
The top Royals pitching prospect, Odorizzi will be making his Major League debut after a great year for the Omaha Storm Chasers. He was a first round pick in 2008 by the Milwaukee Brewers and came to the Royals in the Zach Greinke trade. The Royals have a lot of hopes laying on his shoulders as they plan on contending in the near future.

Thieves have no qualms entering offices to take valuables like handbags and phones left on desks, police say.
Summer is the prime season for what police refer to as 'stairdancers', North Shore Police community area manager Senior Sergeant Clare Robertson says.
Office workers need to remain vigilant about securing their belongings away from potential thieves, she says.
"Store your belongings out of sight, in drawers and not within easy reach."
The North Harbour Business Association (NHBA) has joined police in warning employees to beware.
NHBA crime prevention specialist Anna Crane says people should not hesitate to approach suspicious visitors.
"These criminals can slip in and out really easily and are generally very quick to think on their feet.
"Don't be afraid to challenge anyone lurking where they shouldn't be."
Items that are easily lifted such as iPads, laptops, phones, wallets and handbags are most appealing to thieves, Ms Robertson says. Valuables left in cars parked outside offices are also a common target.
"When people are on their morning tea or lunch breaks are typically when office places are most vulnerable, but they can strike at any time."
And they do not always look how you might expect, Ms Crane says.
"They are very clever and think it through."
The key to preventing this is to look after your stuff and keep an eye on your front door, she says.
"People feel secure in their own work place and naturally feel safer during the day.
"But they must realise criminals are active at all times of the day."
