Romanian police have fired tear gas and clashed with protesters during an anti-government rally in the third consecutive day of demonstrations against austerity cuts and worsening living standards.
Authorities said that at least ten people, including one police officer who was hit by airborne stones, were injured as a result of the Saturday clashes.
"One policeman suffered a severe head injury and was hospitalised, two others were allowed to leave the hospital after being treated," police spokesman, Georgian Enache, said.
Enache confirmed that two other police officers were discharged after treatment, and around 30 protesters were taken into police custody.
More than 1,000 protesters waved flags with the centre ripped out, the symbol of Romania's anti-communist revolution, yelled anti-government slogans and called for early elections in Bucharest's main University Square, blocking traffic on a main thoroughfare.
Young men climbed on cars waving flags and the crowd chanted anti-government slogans for hours, undeterred by chilly temperatures.
After seven hours, protesters refused to leave, and scuffled with riot police who then used tear gas and flares.
Controversial health reforms
The protests were the most serious since President Traian Basescu came to power in 2004 and were the result of pent-up frustration against public wage cuts, slashed benefits, higher taxes and widespread corruption.
In 2009, Romania took a two-year $27.5bn (20bn euro) loan from the International Monetary Fund, the European Union and the World Bank, as its economy shrank by 7.1 per cent.
Romania imposed harsh austerity measures under the agreement, reducing public wages by 25 per cent and increasing taxes.
The catalyst for the protests, however, was the resignation of Raed Arafat, a popular health official, on Tuesday after he opposed health reforms that the government had proposed.
Arafat, a Palestinian-born doctor, was forced to resign earlier this week after a row with Basescu over controversial health reform proposals.
On Friday, Basescu told the government to scrap the reforms, but public anger had already risen against Basescu and the government.
Protesters staged smaller anti-government rallies on Saturday in the Romanian cities of Timisoara, Constanta, Craiova and Cluj and in other smaller cities.
One retired woman, Rodica Patran, said she objected to a pension freeze and a 25 per cent cut in public wages adopted by the centre-right government in July 2010.
"We can no longer stand the poverty, enough is enough."

Tasting Note
Our 2005 Artistry is a proprietary blend of five Bordeaux-varietal grapes. The varietals and percentages will change from year to year, with... (more...) a goal of keeping the wine consistent in quality and style. The 2005 vintage is a dark garnet wine with aromas of baked cherries, dark plum, lavender, cinnamon, allspice and freshly-cut herbs. There are also hints of tobacco, leather, and toasted pecan. On the palate, this smooth-textured wine offers a full-mouth, medium bodied feel. The firm tannins are very well integrated, making the wine elegant and approachable at an early age. There are multiple layers to this complex blend that reveal themselves through decanting or by giving the wine time to open up in the glass.We invite you to discover the beauty in this bottle and try Artistry for yourself.Please note that this wine cannot be personalized with an alternative label.Buy Now!!

The Green Spotlight
Health Impacts from Toxic Chemicals and Pollutants
Ever since Rachel Carson's book Silent Spring was published in 1962 (sparking people's awareness of health threats from chemicals, and leading to the ban on DDT 10 years later), an array of scientific studies have shown that various toxic chemicals and pollutants—in our air, water, soil, food, yards, indoor environments (homes, schools, and workplaces), and household and personal products—are causing or contributing to a myriad of public health problems. Such problems range from asthma, allergies, headaches, and skin and respiratory conditions to serious reproductive/endocrine (hormone) problems, neurological problems (including learning problems and lower IQ), birth defects, and many types of cancers. Children and babies are particularly vulnerable, including through pre-natal exposures. And people in certain occupations (such as janitors, farm workers, and nail salon staff)—who have jobs in which they are regularly exposed to a stew of toxic chemicals—suffer from higher rates of certain health conditions than the general population.
Unfortunately, many toxic chemicals remain virtually unregulated, and existing regulations are not adequately enforced. Most products and chemicals that are used in products are considered "innocent until proven guilty;" they are assumed to be safe until it's proven that they're dangerous. But even when there is strong scientific evidence of the toxicity and harmfulness of certain substances, they are not always banned—or it can take many years of battles to get them banned. Known and suspected carcinogens and other harmful chemicals are in products that we all use every day. The Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) is the country's main chemical safety law, but it is weak and outdated; it desperately needs to be updated and strengthened, but some members of Congress are currently trying to weaken it further, putting the profit interests of the chemical industry over public health.
A few of the most toxic chemicals/elements, many of which are still commonly found in products, include: mercury, lead, arsenic, benzene, formaldehyde, PVC (polyvinyl chloride—dioxin is a by-product), phthalates (plasticizers), flame retardants (PBDEs, TDCP, TCEP), cadmium, chromium, hexane, PFCs, and trichlorethylene (TCE). And there are many other toxic chemicals and ingredients. See the Cradle to Cradle product certification's Banned Lists of Chemicals.
Bear in mind that chemicals and pollutants that have negative effects on human health usually have (even more) negative effects on other species (pets, wildlife, fish, etc.) and on environmental health overall. Our air and water and soil are shared resources, and all living things depend on them for their survival and health. Some of the worst chemicals are classified as PBTs: Persistent, Bioaccumulative, and Toxic; these are toxic chemicals that are known to persist in the environment and bioaccumulate in people and/or wildlife (increasing in concentration as they go up the food chain).
The following organizations focus on health issues related to environmental exposures to toxins. Visit their websites to learn more about their efforts and ways that you can get involved:
Center for Environmental Health
EWG (Environmental Working Group)
Safer Chemicals, Healthy Families
Physicians for Social Responsibility
The Endocrine Disruption Exchange (TEDX)
Several other broad-based sustainability organizations—including Earthjustice, EDF, Greenpeace, and NRDC—also address health and toxics issues, among other issues.
Among the many types of toxins that people are exposed to on a regular basis, some of the worst sources include: power plant emissions, and other oil, coal, and gas industry inputs, by-products, and emissions (including fracking chemicals); nuclear radiation; pesticides, insecticides, and herbicides (including atrazine and Roundup/glyphosate); building materials, finishes, and furnishings; electronics (manufacturing and disposal hazards); and personal care products (e.g., shampoo, sunscreen, toothpaste, etc.).
These groups are working to reduce harmful exposures to chemicals from the following, specific sources:
Pesticides / food:
Nuclear radiation:
Building materials:
- Healthy Building Network / Pharos
- Declare product database (Red List Free products)
Interior products:
- Greenguard/UL: low chemical emissions certification
Electronics / tech:
- Campaign for Safe Cosmetics (Safe Cosmetics Action Network)
Books and Films
Living Downstream (book and film; book written by Sandra Steingraber)
No Family History (book and film; book written by Sabrina McCormick)
Other recent films on topics related to health, toxins, and the environment include: The Human Experiment, Unacceptable Levels, Toxic Hot Seat, The Atomic States of America, Hot Water, Blue Vinyl, and A Will for the Woods. You can find links to these and other films via the following posts:

Fossil-Fuel Divestment and Future-Friendly Investments
The rapid rise of the global fossil-fuel divestment movement is a very promising and heartening sign of real progress.
A growing number of people are trying to "put their money where their mouth is" (i.e., where their values are). They want to stop giving their unintentional financial support to destructive, polluting companies and industries, such as the fossil fuel industry, and to shift their support over to clean, forward-thinking companies and industries that aim to have a positive impact on our world.
Putting your money where your mouth is might involve more than just being selective about which stores you go to and which products you buy. You could be unwittingly giving some of your money to companies you don't want to support through your accounts and investments: e.g., mutual funds, retirement accounts (IRAs, 401Ks), or any other stock-based accounts or investments. If you look at the list of company holdings that are part of your accounts' portfolios, you might discover that Exxon and other oil/gas companies are in there, or Walmart, or Monsanto, or Koch Brothers-owned companies (also see the Buycott campaign/app), or McDonald's or Coca-Cola or cigarette companies… Or there's a good chance that your city, your college's endowment fund, your church, or your government pension provider invests in companies that don't align with your values. Institutions like these are increasingly being confronted by local and national divestment groups.
Fossil Free maintains this list of the hundreds of institutions (including colleges and universities, cities and counties, religious institutions, and foundations) that have committed to divesting from fossil fuels. They include: Rockefeller Brothers Fund; the City and County of San Francisco; Dane County, WI; Seattle, WA; Ann Arbor, MI, and many, many more. Countries committed to divest billions of dollars at the UN's 2014 Climate Summit, and many world leaders have spoken out in support of the divestment movement; they include Desmond Tutu, Ban Ki-Moon, Christina Figueres, Mary Robinson, and even the President of the World Bank. People and institutions are divesting from fossil fuels for a variety of reasons. In addition to the values motivation, or to limit the influence of oil and gas companies, some are simply divesting because they feel that we're approaching (or have already hit) "peak oil" and/or that fossil fuel reserves will become "stranded assets" and fossil fuel stocks will soon (and rapidly/drastically) drop in value.
At the Divest-Invest site, you can pledge to divest from fossil fuels or to invest in clean stocks, and learn more about the issues and options.
Whether or not you have any accounts that can be divested from fossil fuel or other harmful companies, you should think about investing some money in clean energy or other socially beneficial companies. If you want to either switch your mutual fund or retirement accounts over to—or start new accounts with—"socially responsible investment" (SRI) funds, there are many to choose from. Going this route does not necessarily mean that you have to settle for a lower return on investment. SRI funds often perform as well as (and sometimes even better) than the market average. (See some stats here.) And socially responsible investing has recently become much more popular: U.S-based SRI assets jumped 76% between 2012 and 2014 and reached $6.57 trillion, according to US SIF. You can learn more about fossil-free funds and other SRI funds at the following sites:
A few funds that are fossil-fuel free (to date) include: Green Century Fund (both of their funds: Equity and Balanced), Calvert Investments' Green Bond Fund, FFIUS Fossil Free Indexes, FTSE ex Fossil Fuel Index, Portfolio 21 Global Equity Fund, Pax World Global Environmental Markets Fund, Parnassus Endeavor Fund, and Green Alpha Funds.
- Extracting Fossil Fuels from Your Portfolio: An Updated Guide to Personal Divestment and Reinvestment (published by 350.org, Green Century Fund, and Trillium Asset Management)
- Investing to Curb Climate Change: A Guide for the Individual Investor (published by US SIF)
Note: In addition to the relatively new fossil-fuel-free criterion, there are a number of other environmental and social issues and criteria that SRI funds can screen for, in areas such as: pollution/toxics, nuclear power, animal welfare, defense/weapons, human rights, tobacco, alcohol, executive pay, labor relations, diversity, and many others. (When you click on the link above, select the Screening and Advocacy tab to find out how/whether various funds address each issue.)
If you would like to have an investment advisor assist you in selecting a fossil-free or other SRI fund, these are a couple of advisory firms that I am aware of:
- Green Retirement Plans
- Trillium Asset Management (for "high net worth individuals, multi-generational families, and institutions")
- See this list of investment advisors that are B Corporation-certified
(You can also do a web search to find firms or advisors who specialize in SRI or clean energy investment or fossil-fuel divestment and who are also based in your area.)
Another way to invest your money is to make a direct investment in a social impact venture, AKA a social enterprise. One place to find some social enterprises that anyone can invest in is CuttingEdgeX. For a list of some other funds that are available to everyone (with a focus on food and farming-related enterprises), also see the top section of this page.
Some people are also able to invest their money in local, distributed solar projects in their area or elsewhere (on housing, schools, etc.). These are two platforms that allow people to do that—though unfortunately, for now, most of these platform's offerings are only open to California residents, due to current securities regulations (which could change in the future):
- Collective Sun (for non-profit projects)
(Note: Having solar panels or small-scale wind turbines installed on your own property is another good way to invest your money and get a solid return on investment.)
Most direct investments are only open to "accredited investors" (who, basically, are people wealthy enough to endure the risk of losing a considerable amount of money on investments; an accredited investor is currently defined as someone with an individual income of more than $200,000/year or a joint income of $300,000, for the past two years; or a net worth exceeding $1 million, individually or jointly with one's spouse). If you are an accredited investor, there are all sorts of social enterprises you can invest in, through groups like these:
- Investors' Circle
- RSF Social Finance
- Slow Money
- CircleUp's B Corporation Circle
- Also see the bottom section of this page.
And there's yet another way that everyone can make a difference with their dollars: move your regular (checking/savings) accounts out of the huge, greedy, bail-out banks (e.g., Bank of America, Citibank, Chase, Wells Fargo, etc.) and into a local credit union (credit unions are non-profit cooperative banks that share profits with their members) or a small community bank that won't charge you ridiculous fees for basic transaction with your own money; won't gamble with your money, your mortgage, and the economy for short-term gains; and that will give back to its members and your community. There are also a few banks that have a positive social and environmental mission (and are certified B Corporations), such as:
Efforts are also underway to create Clean Energy Victory Bonds, which would be treasury bonds where all the funds raised to support clean energy in the United States.

How to Identify Green(er) Products: Certification Eco-Labels, Standards, Ratings, etc.
It's not always easy to tell which products are green, how green they might be, or in what ways they are green. There are no standard, universal definitions for the terms "green," "environmentally friendly," or "natural." However, the FTC has recently created more stringent guidelines to prohibit marketers from making fraudulent environmental claims about their products.
Finding products that have achieved green certifications (from groups that have rigorous standards) can help you separate true green claims from "greenwashing." So look for eco-labels from legitimate, third-party certifiers (as opposed to industry- or self-administered programs); several third-party certifiers are listed below.
Manufacturers that have had their environmental product claims independently assessed, verified, and certified by a third-party group can feature the corresponding eco-label on their certified products. Be aware that some certifications only verify specific single-attribute claims (e.g., energy efficiency, organic status, recycled-content percentage, indoor air quality/emissions, biodegradability), while others review multiple attributes related to a certain kind of product (e.g., forest products, paints, cleaning products, etc.). Green attributes can relate to the design, manufacturing, and/or operational (use) impacts of a product, or they can address the full lifecycle impacts of the product: from raw material extraction to end-of-life disposal/recycling/reuse.
Bear in mind, though, that many small companies can't afford to put their products through a costly certification process, so there are some very-green products that do not have green certification labels. Therefore, it can also be helpful to look carefully at product ingredients and read up on the company's claims and any outside analysis of those claims. But first, you should have a basic understanding of product stewardship and the criteria and attributes that might make a certain product greener than others of its kind.
Products' green attributes tend to fall into these four general categories:
- Public / Environmental Health: pollution reduction during a product's lifecycle (e.g., reduction of toxic inputs and by-products, and reduction of fossil fuel/energy use and greenhouse gas emissions from manufacturing, etc.); protection of air, water, and soil quality and climate stability
- Individual / Household Health: minimized exposure to toxins/hazards for product users' health and safety

[Note: I'll be adding additional examples of specific product attributes within these categories soon.]
The following are some of the major certifiers of green product claims, as well as some other relevant standards, rating systems, and online assessment tools and resources:
General: Multiple-issue / multiple-attribute

Tuesday and Wednesday were eventful for former Irish student-athletes. On Wednesday, Golden Tate signed a free agent deal with the Detroit Lions for over 30 million dollars and Matt Besler captained Sporting KC to a CCL win, while on Tuesday Sergio Brown re-signed with the Indianapolis Colts.
On Wednesday, the Irish men's basketball season came to an end after a 81-69 defeat in the first round of the ACC Tournament at the hands of Wake Forest.
We have put out some great original content on the Irish UNDerground this week.

Leonardo da Vinci is arguably one of the most talented artists that has ever lived. Among his works are the Mona Lisa and The Last Supper. In addition to his ability to create art, did you know that he had a stellar vision for what did not yet exist? He conceptualized solar power, armored vehicles and even flying machines! Now that's impressive.
Consider how this quote relates to your leadership:
Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.
How are you making your leadership simple? Is your vision for your church or your organization simple? Or is it so complex that you find yourself continually having to clarify it to those you are leading?
Complex ideas aren't necessarily better ideas. It actually requires genius and a lot of hard work to make complex concepts into simple ones. When you do that, your idea becomes scalable – which then can enlarge your leadership influence like none other.

Bears Select Oregon LinemanLAKE FOREST, Ill. (AP) - The Chicago Bears have selected Oregon guard Kyle Long with the 20th pick in the NFL draft.
With the 20th pick in the 2013 NFL Draft, the #Bears select Kyle Long - G - Oregon. #BearsDraft #NFLDraft bit.ly/bw7pWK
— Chicago Bears (@ChicagoBears) April 26, 2013
There were a number of ways the Bears could have gone given their needs for depth and youth on both sides of the ball. They were also interested in moving down and acquiring more picks since they had just five.
Some mock drafts had the Bears going with linebackers Alec Ogletree of Georgia and Notre Dame's Manti Te'o, along with Fighting Irish tight end Tyler Eifert. All three were on the board.
Instead, they decided to add to an offensive line that has ranked among the worst in recent years.
Very excited to join the @chicagobears I need Bears fans to tell me what it means to wear the Navy & Orange #AboutOurColors @tide #Spon
— Kyle Long (@Ky1eLong) April 26, 2013
Long is the son of former Raiders star Howie Long and the brother of St. Louis Rams defensive end Chris Long.

|Spring Valley Country Club -- Challenging course
|Review by: Steve Reynolds
|Spring Valley is an older club that recently upgraded the course layout. They changed 3 or 4 holes in the last few years. The course has no housing development on it and includes several holes that require specific tee shot placement. A good deal of wooded area surrounds the course and water does come into play on several holes. The clubhouse is typical country club and I suggest the prime rib. Outstanding.

Ben Cherington, fiscal disciplinarian.
OK, it's not even Thanksgiving yet, but so far, so good, right? Cherington told us time and time again during his press conference hours after the Dodgers spent a quarter of a billion dollars to build the Red Sox a lifeboat that change has arrived, the days of reckless spending over. Lesson learned.
We can debate the merits of spending $26 million on a 37-year-old designated hitter coming off of a serious Achilles injury or giving $6.2 million to a 35-year-old career backup catcher, but these are not paralyzing moves by any reasonable standard. Nope, so far there has really been only one test of Cherington's discipline this offseason, and he passed. The Blue Jays got weak in the knees instead, spending well over $100 million to basically bring in three guys who played a role in the Marlins winning 69 games (sound familiar?) last season.
Now, does having Jose Reyes on your roster make your team better in 2013? Of course, provided he's healthy, which he was in 2012 (he played 160 games last season, 126 in 2011, 133 in 2010 and 36 in 2009), this is a terrific player. If Reyes had one year left on his contract at the $10 million he'll make next season he'd be exactly the kind of player the Sox should go after (and that of course is why Josh Johnson on his own made sense -- he's on the books for just one year at $13.7 millon). But Reyes is set to make $82 million between 2014-17 (plus a $22 million club option or $4 million buyout in 2018). Reyes will be 34 years old at the end of the 2017 season. Quick, name me a shortstop with zero power that has ever been worth anything close to $20 million a season in his 30s.
There is nothing in baseball history to suggest that the trade for Reyes will be anything but a lousy long-term investment for the Blue Jays. Sure, it's a quick splash, you win the AL East headline battle for November 2012. But what good will that do for you in, say, July of 2016?
Ben Cherington knows this. He has to, he was around for (and played a role in) the construction of a roster that needed the Los Angeles bailout to get this second chance. The Sox can miss on Ortiz for two years, or David Ross for $6 million. What can't happen is what happened over the last half-decade or so, collecting trophies because they were out there to be collected.
And that's exactly why the Red Sox should get nowhere near Josh Hamilton this offseason.
Can we all agree that some owner is going to spend at least $140 million on Hamilton? It's inevitable, right now there is an argument that the market will be dry at that price and the Sox might be able to sweep in late and get him for three years and $75 million. I just don't see it, that's showing way too much faith in the other owners and general managers out there, at least one will be happy to ignore history to placate the fans for a couple of years. It won't be early in the process -- Hamilton is for many reasons a tricky case -- but frustration at failed attempts to land other guys plus an itchy fan base will lead to someone jumping at the best player on the market.
And Hamilton is clearly that -- this is one of the 10 best players in baseball. MVP two years ago, 43 homers, 128 RBIs, .577 slugging percentage (second in the AL) last year. He has all the bona fides and would obviously fit perfectly in the middle of any lineup in baseball, certainly with the Sox.
(Though there is this with Hamilton: In 376 career home games he has hit 94 home runs with an OPS of .967. In 361 career road games he's hit 67 home runs with an OPS of .858.)
Let's put aside the personal stuff with Hamilton -- and that alone is a screaming red flag -- and assume he'd be incident-free over the five, six or seven years of his contract. It still would be a mistake to sign him -- this isn't about Josh Hamilton and his personal battles, it's about giving long-term contracts for huge money to guys in their 30s. It doesn't work.
Hamilton will be 32 years old in May. We can debate where exactly he is in his prime, but it's closer to the end than the middle of it. There's a history of players getting the kind of deal Hamilton is looking for at his age, and there's seems to be a consistent result.
Ryan Howard signed a five-year, $125 million extension in April 2010 (he was 30 years old at the time). The year prior he he was third in MVP voting, had an OPS of .931. In each of the first three seasons of this contract his slugging, OBP and batting average have decreased each year and he played just 71 games in 2012 following two surgeries on his Achilles tendon. Think he'll be worth the $95 million he's owed over the next four years?
Jason Bay was 31 years old when he signed with the Mets for four years and $66 million in December 2009. Here's the return for that investment: Bay played in a total of 288 games, hit 26 home runs with 124 RBIs, slugged .369 and had an OPS of .687. The Mets -- owned by Fred Wilpon, who you might've heard has had some financial difficulties -- bought out Bay for $21 million a couple of weeks ago. The Mets are paying Bay to leave. And I know there's a belief by some in the media that Bay would have been productive if he had stayed in Boston, but that's a reach at best. Why, exactly, would he have been healthier in Boston?
Carlos Lee was 30 years old when the Astros spent $100 million on him in November 2006. He had hit at least 30 homers in each of the previous four seasons but reached that total only once in Houston. Lee was not a terrible player for the life of the deal -- he had an OPS of .817 in 815 games with the Astros -- but (except for that first season) he was never close to a $20 million-a-year player.
The Cubs signed Alfonso Soriano (at age 30) to an eight-year, $136 million contract after he hit 46 home runs and stole 41 bases in 2006 for the Nationals. In the five years before his signed with the Cubs, Soriano had four seasons with at least 30 homers, five with at least 30 stolen bases and four with a slugging percentage over .500. In the first six seasons of his contract he's had two 30-HR seasons, zero with 30 stolen bases and two with a plus-.500 slugging percentage.
You want more? Jason Giambi signed for $120 million at age 30 with the Yankees in 2002 and missed 237 games over eight seasons (and -- for reasons we know now -- never was the hitter he was his final two seasons in Oakland). Ken Griffey signed a $116.5 million deal with the Reds after being traded from Seattle in 2000 (yup, he was 30 years old). His time in Cincinnati was by no measure embarrassing -- there were good seasons -- but he just never seemed more than a pretty good leader singer of a Ken Griffey Jr. cover band:
40-homer seasons: Six with Seattle, one with Cincinnati;
Top 10 in MVP voting: Six with Seattle (and a win), none with Cincinnati;
Gold Gloves: 10 with Seattle, none with Cincinnati;
.600-plus slugging seasons: Five with Seattle, none with Cincinnati.
And, of course, the worst of them all -- Alex Rodriguez is 37 years old, has a total of 32 homers the last two seasons, has seen his slugging percentage (and OPS) drop each of the last six seasons, missed a combined 103 games the last two years and was benched for Eric Chavez (making $900,000 to be a more productive player than Rodriguez last season) in Game 5 of the ALDS. If Rodriguez were a free agent he'd probably be looking at a one-year, $8 million deal, maybe two years, $15 million. Instead, the Yankees owe him $114 million over the next five seasons. And that's not including the home run bonuses -- Rodriguez gets $6 million each for his his 660th, 714th, 755th, 762nd, and 763rd career homers. This is the worst part of the worst contract in baseball history, really. The Yankees really believe people care about his pursuit of Barry Bonds? One cheat chasing another? Do you have any idea how many home runs Rodriguez currently has? I didn't, had to look (it's 647). We all know about 714 and 755, right? If you asked 100 smart baseball fans how many career homers Bonds has, how many are getting it right (it's 762)? Steroids ruined stats forever in baseball, no one will care if Rodriguez limps his way to 763.
And with that we return to Hamilton (not to accuse him of PEDs, though it's always fair to harbor some suspicion). Josh Hamilton is older than any of those guys when they signed their deals. I'd give you the names of players who signed seven-figure deals in their 30s and were worth the money, but it has never happened. This isn't an anti-Hamilton stance, I'd be shocked if he isn't an MVP candidate the next couple of years, but his contract eventually will be an albatross for the team that signs him.
There may come a time in this offseason where the fans around here get a little impatient. Cherington and the Sox cannot give in to that, cannot give in to the temptation of what Hamilton could do for this lineup next year and the year after that. Don't think about NESN ratings and ticket sales and merchandise. None of that will help when Josh Hamilton is being paid $22 million in 2017 after playing 96 games with a .768 OPS in 2016.
Put it another way: The Red Sox can't put themselves in the position they were in last year, because what happened with the Dodgers will never happen again. Hamilton is the next test, and one that comes with an answer. We already know how it will end. What's past is prologue and all that stuff. Josh Hamilton would be a long-term mistake, and Cherington knows it.
We're about to find out if Ben Cherington, fiscal disciplinarian is fact or fiction. If you're a Sox fan, hope that Hamilton doesn't sign in Boston, because if he does it will show that the organization learned nothing over the last couple of years. And that's twice as terrifying as the thought of Hamilton in pinstripes.
Greg and Chris talk more offseason happenings with the Pats and their plans. They talk about some of the free agents toward the bottom of the list with Stevan Ridley and Dan Connolly. Price thinks that Connolly could end up back with the Pats and Ridley elsewhere (Cowboys?), but Greg thinks they both could be back.

The very first airing of the offseason edition of NFL Sunday gets underway with Greg and Chris delving into the free agency period and how the Pats made out.

Orangutan located at the Memphis Zoo, Tennessee
There has been an estimated decline of over 80% over the last 75 years. This decline continues, as forests within its range are under major threat. Most orangutans are outside of protected areas, including within potential logging areas and conversion forests. After a period of relative stability, pressure on these forests is increasing once again as a result of the recent peace accord, and a dramatic increase in demand for timber and other natural resources after the December 2004 tsunami.
The look..Fantastic~!!! Well done. Great pose and great colour and treatment really makes him pop.
Great shot!!
He is brilliant. you caught such a great mood
Great expression. Good one Scott.
Love it!

Fairly normal Friday morning
Fairly normal Friday morning in Lawrence, with one exception. Shortly after 1 a.m. KU Police found a subject climbing on the side of Dyche Hall. Police attempted to make contact with the subject who at first refused to acknowledge the commands from officers. Lawrence Fire was requested to come and help retrieve the subject from the side of the building. Before the Fire Department was able to respond, the subject decided to obey Police and climb down from the building. The subject was cited for trespassing. It was unclear just how high up the side of the building the subject was when Police spotted him.
Lawrence Police responded to a report of a car stuck on the median at Clinton Parkway and Lake Pointe Drive at 3:30 a.m. They arrived to find a one car accident with the car high centered on the median. Lawrence Fire and Medical also responded and the driver was transported to the hospital as a precaution.
Police also responding on the normal number of noise complaints, disturbances, suspicious pedestrian checks and suspicious vehicle checks.

Laurence Pelchat
Sept. 30, 2012
Montana women's tennis wrapped up the three-day Jack Taylor Classic hosted by Boise State on Sunday.
Overall, the team won 21 matches and only dropped eight.
Mackenzie Rozell beat Jennifer Weissman from Colorado State to win the white (third) flight singles. Laurence Pelchat teamed up with Sasha Carter to win blue (top) flight back draw doubles.
"Over-all our team did extremely well," said Rozell. "We have really good chemistry so we can feed off of each others energy well. I was a little nervous coming into the tournament but I had my whole team behind me to support me and that really helped. They are really good at helping everyone when they are down and when we are winning they are there to help keep the positive momentum."
Pelchat earned a spot in the final round of the orange (second) flight but lost to Megan LaLone from Boise State on Sunday. Maddy Murray and Rozell progressed to the final round of the orange double flights, but also lost to LaLone and Bobbi Oshiro from Boise State.
On Saturday, Precious Gbadamosi lost her semifinal match of the blue singles flight to Marlena Pietzuch of Boise State. Gbadamosi teamed up with Ashley Mackey to compete in the final round of the blue doubles flight, but lost to Boise State duo Pietzuch and Sandy Vo.
"I am glad to see that we are continuing to keep the positive momentum from Washington State," said head coach Steve Ascher. "I am excited to see that we had positive outcomes from challenging matches, and I'm excited for us to go back on the practice courts to continue to improve."
The team travels Oct. 10 to Las Vegas to compete in the ITA Mountain Regional.
