Darvish, Chen to face off for first time in big leagues
Rangers, O's starters last went up against each other in 2011 in Japan
Yu Darvish and Wei-Yin Chen have faced each other once, but it was before either of them donned their respective Texas and Baltimore jerseys.
It was when they were both in Japan, Darvish pitching for the Nippon Ham Fighters, Chen for the Chunichi Dragons. Darvish came away with a 1-0 victory on a three-hitter while striking out 10, and both threw complete games.
Weather permitting, the two will meet again Thursday for the first time since June 8, 2011, and for Darvish's first regular-season start against the Orioles. It will also be his first appearance ever at Camden Yards, where Baltimore will go for a four-game sweep.
His only start against the Orioles came in the 2012 Wild Card playoff game, where he allowed three runs in 6 2/3 innings in a 5-1 loss. The winning pitcher for the Orioles was Joe Saunders, who was designated for assignment by the Rangers on Tuesday.
"I know there are a lot of home runs in this ballpark," Darvish said. "I try not to think about it, but just try and go as deep in the ballgame as I can."
Darvish has had to carry the Texas rotation, but said that it doesn't add any extra pressure when he takes the mound.
"I can only pitch once every five days, so there is no burden on my shoulders," Darvish said. "I just have to do my job on the day that I start."
He added that he's looking forward to facing Nelson Cruz, a former Ranger who now plays for Baltimore.
Cruz is the American League's top vote getter for designated hitters per Monday's release, and enters Thursday's matchup hitting .280.
"I look forward to facing him," Darvish said. "I look forward to facing really good hitters, so I'm looking forward to facing them."
As for Chen, he's coming off one of the worst outings of his career in his last start against the Rays. The lefty pitched a career-low 3 1/3 innings on Saturday and gave up five earned runs to go along with seven hits and two walks. He's now 7-3 with a 4.19 ERA.
To his advantage, the O's have been giving their pitchers solid run support as of late. They homered for their 12th straight game Wednesday and have had multiple home runs in 25 of 41 games.
Rangers: Washington staying with Choice
Rookie outfielder Michael Choice is expected to be in the lineup on Thursday with Chen on the mound for the Orioles. Choice, a right-handed hitter, did not start with left-hander T.J. McFarland on the mound against the Rangers on Tuesday night. It's rare when Choice is not in the lineup with a left-hander on the mound.
"I just thought he needed a day off," manager Ron Washington said. "It didn't matter who was throwing. He didn't have a good night the night before so I didn't want it to snowball."
Choice has struggled to get his batting average above the .200 mark this season, but Washington is sticking with him. Choice was in the lineup on Wednesday with right-hander Chris Tillman on the mound.
"I don't think he is overwhelmed," Washington said. "He is making adjustments and it takes time for the adjustments to kick in. I know people look at the averages but he is making adjustments and we're going to give him time to make those adjustments. Right now we're finding out if he can handle adversity."
Orioles: Norris could return early next week
Bud Norris could return for one of the Orioles' two games in Washington, D.C., on Monday or Tuesday -- there's a reason he's been taking some batting practice -- but he will have to pitch some time before then. It may just be a simulated game at Oriole Park at Camden Yards, or it could mean a start somewhere in the Minors.
"The decision's going to be -- not if but when -- whether he needs to go pitch somewhere or take a sim game here and that's enough," O's manager Buck Showalter said. "He won't go just from a side day into starting."
Norris, who hasn't played since June 21 due to a right groin strain, threw a bullpen session in Baltimore on Wednesday. Norris will take pitchers' fielding practice on Thursday and will throw a side session on Friday.
Norris is eligible to come off the disabled list on Monday.
Worth noting:
• With a left-hander pitching for the Orioles on Thursday, Adam Rosales is expected to get his first start at first base for the Rangers. Chris Gimenez is expected to be behind the plate with Darvish pitching for the Rangers.
• The Rangers are 5-1 on Thursday this season.
• First baseman Chris Davis is still struggling offensively for the Orioles. His batting average is .206, and he's only hit two homers since June 14.

Blackened Salmon with Mango Salsa
Blackened wild salmon filets seasoned with cayenne, paprika and herbs are seared in a skillet then topped with a fresh mango salsa – if you can take the heat, then you'll love this dish!
I picked up some wild salmon and was in the mood to make it blackened and thought it would pair perfectly with a mango salsa. I searched for a good blackened spice rub and came upon a recipe from Alex Guarnaschelli. Now, I'm a little bit of a spice wimp, I will admit and I had to open my windows while this cooked because the spice was making me cough (yikes!). Naturally I was kinda nervous that this would be too spicy for my taste buds, but the sweet mango salsa gave me a relief from the heat and although it was a little hot, I was able to eat it just fine (along with a glass of water).
Next time I make this, I may replace the cayenne for chili powder to tone it down, but if you like it hot I wouldn't change a thing! I used salmon because of all the wonderful omegas but you can use whatever fish you like (cooking time may need to be adjusted). This is ready in less than 30 minutes start to finish, so it's perfect for a weeknight meal. Enjoy!

Hi Gina. I have the hardest time with fresh mango. I just don't know the secret to cutting one up. I tend to get very little fruit and become completely covered in juice. Do you have any tips?
ReplyDeleteReplies- Anonymous10/17/13, 7:43 AM
the trick with cutting mangos is to slice down as close to the stone as you can get without cutting into it. when you have the slice, score it in several places and invert that slice so the scored fruit is kind of pushed out...take a sharp knife and slice the scored pieces off the original slice. hope this helps! also you can google this, it might be easier to look at to see what i'm trying to say.

My mom has a mango cutter she bought at Sur Le Table. I thought it was silly at first as I've never had trouble cutting mango, but I've used it when over at her house, and it does cut well. Perfect for those who have trouble cutting using the method described above. You might try picking one up, but be careful, they're super sharp. I think she has this one: http://www.surlatable.com/product/PRO-1102433/?source=igodigital
Delete I will try to include picture of how I cut them next time I post a recipe with mangoes.

super late on this and not sure if everyone already does this and I'm the last to catch on... but the best is to use a potato skinner first to get the skin off! It makes it SO much easier to cut and you lose WAY less mango!
To cut fresh mango, hold it upright and cut down just to the side of the very middle (so that you'll cut a little less than half of the fruit off while leaving the large seed in the middle). Do the same with the other half of the fruit, leaving the seed in the middle, and then discard the part with the seed. This leaves a bit of fruit still attached to the seed, but it's negligible. With the skin still on the "halves" you keep, use the tip of your knife to cut a grid into the fruit without cutting into the skin. Invert, and then shave the fruit from the skin. Instant chunks. Repeat with the other "half."
I don't know how good I am at describing that, so here's a video. He uses a specialized mango cutter, but the concept remains even if you use a knife to cut the mango in the same spot: http://www.dailydot.com/lol/ramsey-brothers-home-video-commentary/- Anonymous10/17/13, 8:46 PM
I always take a vegetable peeler to the mango before I cut it off the stone. Then just slice or dice.
ReplyDelete Made this for dinner last night and it was absolutely delicious. It will be added to our list of go-to's for sure.
Just a question, Gina, did you leave the jalapeño out of the mango salsa because of the heat of the spice? Your mango salsa recipe I usually use calls for it (from the pork tenderloin recipe)- Leslie F.10/23/13, 3:26 PM
I am not a fan of fish at all, but I can tolerate it if it's covered with enough 'stuff' - which usually defeats the benefits of eating fish. But I decided to make this since my husband loves Salmon, and we both like spicy dishes.
Yes, I could taste a bit of the fish, but I liked this dish, and my husband LOVED it. I will definitely make this again. HIGHLY recommended, and very easy. - Anonymous10/24/13, 3:57 PM
I made this for my boyfriend and his roommate last night. His roommate is not a fan of salmon, but hey, free food. We all LOVED it and roommate was even raving about it this morning. I used your tip of using half cayenne and half chili powder and thought it was plenty hot (and I like it spicy). The mango salsa was amazing, the perfect partner for this.

I made this for my boyfriend tonight with the Fiesta Lime Rice. It was amazing! Thank you for this delicious recipe. Will definitely be making again!

Made this for my family last night. It was fantastic! I prepared it as directed. It was definitely spicy, but with the mango salsa it was perfect for me. A little too spicy for my mother as is, so I will modify to 1/2 chili powder 1/2 cayenne as recommended next time I serve it when she is over.
ReplyDelete I made this for my boyfriend and I last night, it was amazing. I used a bottled cajun blackening spice mix that I already had on hand, but I appreciate the directions for cooking the salmon as I haven't really cooked fish before. It turned out perfectly. I also added about 2/3 of a fresh jalapeno, minced (no seeds), to the salsa as another commenter mentioned. I would highly recommend throwing that in, it gives the salsa a really nice heat, not too much though. My boyfriend usually eats slowly, but he practically inhaled this dish and finished it with a sincere "well THAT was delicious." Best compliment I could ask for. :) Thanks Gina!

Cards' Lyons set for MLB debut in matchup of rookies
Left-hander opposes Padres' Smith in rubber match at Petco Park
Tyler Lyons says he didn't set any sort of timetable for when he wanted to make his first Major League start. And he knows he can't control the length of his initial stint in The Show, temporary though it may be with Jake Westbrook on his way back.
But that won't take away from his Major League debut Wednesday night, when the left-hander faces fellow rookie Burch Smith and the Padres at Petco Park.
"We celebrate with the fact that this is something he's dreamt about since he was a kid. This is a big deal, a big accomplishment," Cardinals manager Mike Matheny said. "I encourage him that it's 60 feet, 6 inches here like it was in [Triple-A] Memphis. Make your pitches. Jump in to do the work that everybody else is doing. Do the preparation. And do everything that you have been doing that has given you success up to this point. And just trust your stuff."
Lyons is the latest rookie pitcher the Cardinals have called upon this season, making the jump from Triple-A to take Jaime Garcia's spot in the rotation. St. Louis now has three rookie starters -- Shelby Miller, John Gast and Lyons, the Major League-high sixth rookie to pitch for the Cardinals this season. But their youth hasn't held them back, as those rookies already have compiled 10 wins.
Lyons expects to have some family and friends in San Diego to see his big league debut. The ninth-round Draft pick out of Oklahoma State University in 2009 was 2-1 with a 4.47 ERA in eight starts for Memphis, and he found out Saturday night that his next pitch would come on a Major League mound. Lyons was hopeful that his experience in big league Spring Training this year helped prepare him for Wednesday and beyond.
"I think being there was huge for me, just in being comfortable when I get in here in the clubhouse and in the game situations, facing other big league clubs and big league hitters," Lyons said. "I think being in Spring Training gives me a sense of comfort going into [Wednesday]."
He'll be facing a Padres club that has been hot as of late, Tuesday's 10-2 loss notwithstanding. San Diego has scored 94 runs over its last 20 games, an average of 4.7 per game. And while the Cardinals are 17-8 since April 24 to lead the National League, the Padres are second with a 16-9 record during that stretch.
"I think confidence and momentum go a long way in any professional sport. I think the guys are feeling good about how we're playing," Padres manager Bud Black said. "You'd rather have that than the other way, because that happens, too, during the course of a season. You try to lengthen those times when you feel good about everything, and you try to cut short those times when you're not playing with a lot of confidence.
"We're in one of those streaks right now where the guys feel good about what's going on, and we're going to try to continue to capitalize on it."
San Diego will look to even things up behind Smith, seeking his first win in just his third Major League start. Smith pitched better his second time out, striking out eight and working 5 1/3 innings in a no-decision against the Nationals on Friday.
Cardinals: Freese hopes to return
David Freese didn't play Tuesday night due to continued swelling in the area around his right thumb that required three stitches Sunday. The stitches will come out Friday, but Freese hopes to get back in the starting lineup Wednesday, saying his hand felt "better" Tuesday than it did a day earlier.
Matheny thought the padding and bandage on Freese's right hand might have affected his throwing, had he played Tuesday.
"He wasn't quite ready to go and let the ball go clean out of his hand on the throw," Matheny said. "He's swinging pretty good. There's a chance he could rip it open."
• Eduardo Sanchez, once a top relief pitching prospect for the Cardinals, was claimed off waivers Tuesday by the Cubs. Sanchez had been in the Cardinals' organization for eight years since being signed as a non-drafted free agent out of Venezuela. St. Louis took Sanchez off the 40-man roster to make room for Lyons.
Padres: Quentin sits with sore knee
After an awkward slide into home plate Monday night, outfielder Carlos Quentin didn't play in the Padres' 10-2 loss to the Cardinals on Tuesday due to a sore knee. Black expected to have Quentin back in the lineup Wednesday night.
"We're going to manage his usage and maximize everything we can with his playing time," Black said.
• Will Venable leads the Padres with seven homers and is second with eight stolen bases. His speed is hardly a surprise -- he stole 79 bases in 400 games from 2010-12 -- but he's already two homers away from tying his total from each of the past two seasons.
"I have been able to square some balls up and my swing just kind of has that trajectory," Venable said. "When I am squaring them up, they're going out of the park instead of more line drives."
"That's a dangerous combination, when you have a guy with the ability to steal bases and also power," added Black. "The pitcher thinks about that."
Worth noting
• The Padres have scored first in seven of their last eight games dating back to May 14. They've gone 5-2 in those games and 16-7 on the season when scoring first.
• Cardinals center fielder Jon Jay has a hit in 16 of his last 17 starts, batting .417 (25-for-60) during that stretch.

Documentary Featuring the Work of Alumni David Paul, M.D., Ph.D. '06 and Bonnie Paul, Ph.D. '06 Receives Cannes Film Festival Award
10/02/2009Saybrook alumni David Paul, M.D., Ph.D. (06) and Bonnie Paul, Ph.D. (06) have been directing and presenting an ongoing series of workshops, titled Freedom to Choose, at Valley State Prison for Women (VSPW) in Chowchilla, California twice a year since 2004.
VSPW is one of the largest medium/maximum security women's prisons in the world. A documentary about this work won "Best Documentary" at the Emerging Filmmakers Showcase at the Cannes Film Festival this year.
Drs. David and Bonnie Paul are faculty at the University of Santa Monica (USM), and they lead approximately 50 USM graduate volunteers from USM's master's degree program in Spiritual Psychology who travel at their own expense to spend three days with inmates. The 12th Freedom to Choose workshop at VSPW, scheduled for the end of October, will reach more than 300 inmates, including more than 100 inmate "mentors" who assist in the workshop. 95% of the participants (N=1,400) report more inner peace, less violence in their interactions with other inmates, and improved relationships(p<0.001).
The program was nominated for the 2006 American Correctional Association "Exemplary Offender Program Award." Drs. Paul received the Bohemian Foundation's E-Chievement Award in 2009. You can view the documentary at: http://usmfreedomtochoose.net/

Message to Alumni from the Board of Trustees Chair
09/25/2009Dear Saybrook Alumni,
This past June, I promised to periodically update you on progress we are making at Saybrook. I am very pleased to say that I have some wonderful news regarding developments at Saybrook to share with you.
First, we are now Saybrook University with three distinct colleges: the Graduate College of Psychology and Humanistic Studies, housing our traditional legacy programs in Psychology, Human Science, and Organizational Systems; graduate College of Mind-Body Medicine, the first WASC accredited program of its kind, and LIOS Graduate College, a 40-year old leading institution of experiential-based graduate learning and leadership training, based in Seattle which affiliated with Saybrook early this year. Though united as one institution, each of these three colleges will have their own distinct learning models.
However, one thing isn't changing-- the soul of the school. Saybrook University will remain the home of humanistic thought, in all its manifestations, inspired by the work of our founders. Their teachings will be carried into new fields and new forms of human endeavor through Saybrook University.
Saybrook University welcomed its first incoming class this Fall, 2009, and a robust new student enrollment of 170. This total - the combined total Fall '09 enrollment for all colleges - represents a significant growth of more than 50%.
To accommodate the new students, Saybrook has also revitalized its learning technology, creating a whole new cyber-environment for instructing courses, offering course materials, and helping students and faculty create an academic community. In addition, an entirely new website will be launching this fall. This new technology will make it easy for students, faculty, and alumni to compare notes, share information, and create an academic commons that combines scholarship with real-world applications.
Lastly, I had the distinct pleasure of welcoming three new Trustees to the Saybrook University Board: alumna Vicki Saunders, Brad Fisher and Rick Hanson. The Trustees are committed to providing the resources and leadership necessary to fully realize our vision for Saybrook and the role of humanistic education in developing future agents of change. These new leaders will help us fulfill our potential.
On October 28 at 11 AM PST, I will be conducting a conference call with alumni to speak with you first-hand about all of the developments at Saybrook as well as the search for our new president. I look forward to speaking with many of you at that time (For conference call connection information contact George Aiken email@example.com).
Thank you again for your support. I will continue to keep you abreast of all the wonderful things happening at Saybrook University.

EHI November Conference Seeking Volunteers
09/25/2009EHI's November Conference is looking for volunteers to exchange their time to assist with tasks at the conference in exchange for their registration fee. Below is a general description of the tasks involved:
The volunteer will be assigned to specific workshops and rooms, and will be seated at the door with a small table. The volunteer will have to ensure that every participant of that workshop signs in and out. This is especially important because this is how we will track professionals and the number of CEs they are earning. Other than the very beginning and very end of the workshop, the volunteers are free to listen in and participate in that particular workshop. Of course, if the instructor needs any help from the volunteer, like switching the lights or moving desks, etc., the volunteer would have to help him/her out.
Possible volunteers please contact:
Mary Madrigal, Ph.D.
EHI Conference Chairperson

ALL Steven H. Sneiderman POSTS
What's a retrade, and how do I prevent one?
Blog Entry:
February 06, 2013 4:30 AM | Author: Steven H. Sneiderman
Steven H. Sneiderman is a partner at
Hahn Loeser & Parks LLP
, a full-service law firm, and co-chair of the firm's corporate transactions group. He has significant expertise in mergers, acquisitions and financing for businesses of all sizes and recently authored an eBook, "Preparing For The Sale (Lessons Learned Along the Way)".
In the mergers and acquisitions world, retrade is an ugly word. It refers to any unanticipated adverse modification to the previously agreed to terms and conditions of a transaction, most frequently in the purchase price. While not as common as in the past, such actions by buyers definitely do occur and they not only aggravate sellers, but also can jeopardize the closing of a deal.
There are times when buyers are justified in seeking an adjustment, as in the case of a discovery that certain deal fundamentals are not supportable under the scrutiny of the buyer's due diligence. For example, a client of ours discovered that its target (which lacked a sophisticated financial staff) was unaware of its true profit margins, with some significant customers actually selling at negative margins. To its credit, when the seller was faced with this issue, it agreed that an adjustment to the pricing was necessary and appropriate.
Other times, however, buyers may seek to utilize perceived leverage in a transaction to drive the letter of intent (LOI) price down, hiding behind whatever diligence facts it can muster. In past cycles, this was, in fact, a much more common practice.
Years ago, a distressed client of ours negotiated a significant transaction with one of the largest private equity groups in the country for an attractive price. Shortly before the closing, the potential buyer delivered a detailed letter, citing numerous issues it had identified in due diligence and assigning a dollar value to each one. The claims totaled nearly 20% of the original purchase price.
Fortunately, the group's reputation had preceded it and our client was ready to respond. It was able to dispense with many of the "issues" as being basic business risk or by providing supplementary information to alleviate the concern. The deal moved forward and closed with a price adjustment that was far more modest than the proposed downgrade, yet still acceptable to seller.
If you are thinking about bringing your business to market soon, there are things you can do to prevent facing this unpleasant predicament:
Be prepared, be very prepared.
The fastest way to have the deal value decreased is to have an inadequate response to the buyer's due diligence request. Problems always arise in due diligence. Businesses that can proactively answer buyers' questions present themselves as stronger operations and are in a better position to withstand an attempted retrade. To prepare properly, we strongly encourage clients anticipating going to market to have our firm conduct a mock diligence drill as though we were buyer's counsel. This can identify issues and get them solved or mitigated before the buyer is even identified.
LOI protections.
Another key area is drafting a very tight letter of intent. Provisions need to be included to make the buyer face a significant consequence, such as loss of exclusivity, if it even requests an adjustment. This should limit the request to only the most serious claims.
Be ready to walk away.
It can be very hard, at the eleventh hour of a lengthy deal process, to turn your back on a significant payday, even if it is being reduced. If, however, the proceeds are not going to yield what you really must get out of the deal, you may need to walk away and begin again. If you are not in a position to do that, you may not be able to withstand the buyer's challenge.
Thankfully, retrades are not part of every transaction, but prudent sellers need to be ready, willing and able to deal with them. Guided by strong counsel and a high-quality deal team, your business can be.

A review of "In the Company of Legends" by Joan Kramer and David Heeley.
These thoughts occurred as I was watching "The House I Live In," the documentary by Eugene Jarecki about our War on Drugs. Like other American wars, it has not been going so well. Its cost so far is more than $1 trillion dollars. Its effect on American drug consumption has been negligible. Its primary effect has been to assure a steady flow of non-violent, non-dealing drug users to our prisons, many of them for mandated sentences of five, 10, 20 or 40 years — or life. Hearing his sentence of 40 years for using crack, a young offender says flatly, "I messed up." Let that be a lesson to him, although he may be dead by the time he can put it to use.
When I wrote, "young offender," did you have a mental image of a black youth? Yes, 90 percent of those arrested for using crack are black, although only 13 percent of the nation's crack users are black. Why is this so? Could it be that black men dealing crack on street corners are easy pickings for police patrols, but white offenders in affluent suburbs and Wall Street financial firms are not so easy to nab? The sad thing is that white crack users use poor blacks to run the risks for them.
Because of its disproportionate number of minority targets, the War on Drugs has been called a Silent Holocaust against blacks. The irony is compounded because so many prisons (many of them private, profit-making enterprises) are in lower-income white areas with a ready supply of low-salaried guards. The location of prisons is often due to the clout of white legislators.
But now the worm is turning, as Jarecki points out. Although pot and crack use results in mostly black arrests, low-income white areas are showing a dramatic growth in arrests for the manufacture and use of crystal meth.
No politician dares risk seeming soft on drugs, although the Obama administration did bring an end to sentences for crack (used more by blacks) that were sharply more extreme than powder cocaine (used more by whites). After all, it's all cocaine.
Is drug abuse a victimless crime? Good question. Libertarians such as Ron Paul argue that what you put into your body is your business. It is the laws that produce victims — and they are the users themselves. Of course many victims result from crimes committed to get money to buy drugs. The libertarian argument is that if you decriminalize drugs, as some European countries have found, you remove the profit motive, and drug use falls. It has been said that the War on Drugs is essentially a price-support system for the drug cartels of Latin America.
Jarecki's film makes a shattering case against the War on Drugs, using street footage, prison footage and the closer-to-home story of Nannie Jeter, the Jarecki family's longtime housekeeper, whose own son was arrested. In poor, jobless neighborhoods, selling drugs is often the only "easy" way to make money. And poor, jobless dealers are easy prey for the police, most of whom realistically believe their efforts are making absolutely no difference.
If we were to expand the War on Drugs to reach into affluent neighborhoods, fashionable clubs, board rooms, movie studios and yacht harbors, how well do you think that would go over? The only rich people who get busted are in show business. If we see even one rich, white executive locked up for several years for smoking pot or inhaling cocaine, that'll be the day.

Neapolitan Console Table
by Nine6
At A Glance:
Designed around a powder coated steel support system, the Neapolitan Console Table is an accent piece that attracts the eye through contrast. Wood and metal provide the first juxtaposition, while two different wood types in light and dark stain provide a second, more daring contrast.
What's To Like:
You get the warmth of wood with the exotic flavor of a Bamboo top - and the structural integrity of steel brackets. That makes this console table a modern piece that can be easily transferred to a more contemporary or even traditional setting.
- Overall dimensions: 30" h x 19" d x 60" w
- Support brackets: steel with powder coated finish
- Tabletop: Bamboo plywood planks
- Legs: dark stained Sapele wood
- Each leg is composed of two pieces of Sapele wood bolted on either side of the bracket flange
- Made in America
Materials & Measurements
Support brackets: steel with powder coated finish
Tabletop: Bamboo plywood
Legs: dark stained Sapele wood
Overall: 30" h x 19" d x 60" w

"Mess up tomorrow, don't mess up now".
- Harry James Benson, CBE.
Posted 15 September 2012 - 02:34 PM
If you read the article it says they would add an additional year at the end. The owners would get their money now, but nothing for the last year.That just doesn't make sense to me
But I'm sure $200M (plus anything they still make from sponsors and merchandise) isn't close to enough to cover all the expenses anyway. Stadium leases, debt payments, any remaining staff that keeps working, unemployment for any staff laid off, and I'm sure that some percentage of any revenue earned will still eventually have to go to players in some form... If there's an extended lockout every owner is still going to lose a lot of money, and that's not even counting potential loss of future revenue.
That's why I don't think this lockout will last that long. I still have a little hope that we won't lose any games, though more realistically I'd guess we'll lose 20 or so. Much more than that and too many people will be losing too much money. Unlike the last lockout, where the league as a whole was in the red and even the profitable teams weren't making much, almost 1/3rd of owners stood to make $10M+ in profits this year and will be looking at huge losses instead.
Posted 15 September 2012 - 03:05 PM
I agree with you, Buppy.
There's a clock on this thing. It's not going to claim the entire season, probably won't claim more than ten games, if that. (IMHO)

Maybe this would be the solution: Instead of arguing 57/43 vs 50/50 or other numbers, maybe we should be going x/x/10 with the 10 going to charity. Both sides might be willing to give a little if they knew that the money wasn't going to the other side, but to a charity. It wouldn't solve the other points, but it would be a starting point.
I still think that the league wants to lock out this season so the players will be more willing to give up Sochi next year just to have a season to play.

Daly told TSN, "We talked with the Union this morning and in light of the fact that they have nothing new to offer, or any substantive response to our last proposal, there would be nothing gained by convening a bargaining session at this time. I'm sure that we will remain in contact in the coming days."
Steve Fehr, special counsel for the NHLPA, told TSN, "Today we suggested that the parties meet in advance of the owners' self-imposed deadline of midnight tonight. Don Fehr, myself and several players on the Negotiating Committee were in the city and prepared to meet. The NHL said that it saw no purpose in having a formal meeting. There have been and continue to be private, informal discussions between representatives of both sides."
The deadline is expected to pass without any formal announcement. The season will apparently die a slow, quiet death.

I hope the NHLPA gets the idea out of their heads that they'll actually 'win' the lockout, the owners will get pretty much what they want in the end, that's what happened last time and it will happen again
all the players are really doing is prolonging the inevitable and wasting possibly a whole year of their careers in the process
it's a sad situation, but the rich will always lose out to the even richer

G-Block is the predominate gang in the Main South area of Worcester , MA. I'ts called G-Block because it was started on Grand street by a group of youths who grew up with eachother. The Gang consists of black, latino and asian members and are known to have a high propensity for violence and intimidation. Their main territory is Grand St,Gates St, Crystal Park(University Park) and all parts of Main South, though they have been known to frequent Lakeside, Lovell St,and other areas of the city. They can be identified by their grey and black colors, the "72" moniker and members often are seen wearing a pair of Adidas sneakers. Main rivals are Ruffside Thugs, Lincset, Blackbirds, Goonies,and various blood sets. Their main allies are, Vice Lords, Kilby and Tiger Society(LT). From what started as eight original members,(Crazy 8's)G-Block has grown to more than 30 members since it started in 2001. The gang has built a reputation for violent acts and vicious attacks on other gangs. It is safe to say it is one of the most feared yet respected street gangs in Worcester county.

A hair extension or dyed piece of hair, usually about 5cm wide with horizontal stripes in 2 different colours going down it. Looks a bit like a racoons tail, hence the name.
Scene kids often get them with brown & bleached stripes down the lengths of their scene hair.

Several dyed pieces of hair (usually found on the heads of scene girls) That are striped horizontally with a different color of hair, made to look like the tail of a raccoon. They are often worn as extensions (bought from hot topic) rather than actual hair.
Scene Girl 1: Hey, did you see Carol Chaos's new green and black coontails? aren't they rad?
Scene girl 2: Well, they would be...if they weren't extensions.

A word used to describe the expansion of the moistened hair in the pubic region of the female, sending it over the vaginal opening and horshoeing around to the rectal region. This most often interferes in the process of a man giving a woman a rimjob. This term is derived from the Ethiopian words "coon," which roughly translates into pubarrhea, which then tranlates into pubes, and "tail," which tranlates into a hairy object thrusting from the body.
I was just about to give a random drunk female a rimjob when I noticed her very moist and long coontail jutting out from the anus into my face.

High five! Bucs' twin bill brightens with big frame
PITTSBURGH -- Just as the Pirates were approaching possibly their darkest 2012 hour, a ray of sunshine cut through their gloom -- and directly into Carlos Gonzalez's eyes.
When the Colorado left fielder was blinded on Nate McLouth's line drive in the fifth inning of the nightcap of Wednesday's doubleheader, the Bucs had a run, and a sudden insatiable hunger for more. After the feeding was over, the Pirates had their biggest offensive inning of the season on the way to a 5-1 victory and a split of the twin-bill with the Rockies. "We had opportunities presented to us before, and haven't been able to move on them," manager Clint Hurdle said. "We moved this time -- dramatically." A five-run outburst in that fifth benefited Charlie Morton, who showed his gratitude for the support by going seven innings and holding the Rockies to six hits -- including Ramon Hernandez's solo homer with two outs in the seventh. In the opener, James McDonald lost a no-hit bid on Troy Tulowitzki's infield single with none out in the seventh, and the Pirates ultimately lost a 2-1 decision on Tyler Colvin's tie-breaking sacrifice fly in the eighth. The Bucs thus added two more pearls to their season-opening string of neither scoring nor allowing more than five runs in any game, now at 18. That's a new Major League record, eclipsing the 17 of the 1943 wartime Detroit Tigers. "I guess that's one of those good-news, bad-news records," said Neil Walker, after a nightcap in which all the news turned good. At 8-10, the Pirates hit the road for series in Atlanta and St. Louis still within quick strike of the .500 mark, despite an offense that has dragged through the first three weeks of the season -- and thanks to a pitching staff that through the 18 games has allowed a total of 51 runs. How impressive is that? While taking into the account that eras differ, the 1968 St. Louis Cardinals, whose pitching staff -- paced by Bob Gibson and his 1.12 ERA -- was so dominant it was influential in getting mounds lowered to 10 inches, had allowed 52 runs through their first 18 games. If their hitting begins to pull astride of their pitching, the Bucs feel they will be very dangerous. "It felt good to score big like that in one inning," said Garrett Jones, whose two-run homer was the inning's centerpiece. "Our pitching has been outstanding, and if we can keep hitting more consistently, we'll really take off. We definitely have the offense to score a bunch of runs." It had been a very quiet day for the Bucs, one run in 13 innings, until McLouth's liner went through Gonzalez and ushered Alex Presley home from second with the tying run. "The sun's in your face out there. You've got to try to play it to the side, try something different," said Presley, the Bucs' left fielder who also got a perfect look at that play from second base. ""You can't catch something you can't see," Gonzalez said. "I didn't see the ball at all. The sun was right in my face. It seemed like every time we were going to hit, the clouds covered the sun for the other team. Bad luck." The Pirates quickly drove a bulldozer through that opening: Andrew McCutchen delivered an RBI single, Jones crushed a two-run homer -- snapping the team's string of 10 straight solo homers since last Sept. 23 -- and Pedro Alvarez followed with his second homer of the day. Reggie Jackson, in the days he would interrupt strings of strikeouts with an occasional home run, was fond of saying the sun sometimes shone even on the unluckiest mutt. Or, in the Pirates' case, in the eyes of its opponent. But it remained up to the Pirates to take advantage of that break, which they did with a tenacity that has been uncommon this season, much to Colorado starter Jhoulys Chacin's chagrin. The opener featured arguably the finest game of McDonald's still-budding career. In seven innings, he fanned eight and allowed only the infield single by Tulowitzki that led to Colorado's first run. Gonzalez was aboard with a leadoff walk when Tulowitzki's hard-hit ball into the hole could be only deflected by Alvarez. Gonzalez reached second on that infield single, moved to third on a wild pitch, and a little later scored on Jason Giambi's sacrifice fly. McDonald at least was spared a harsh loss when Alvarez -- off whose glove Tulowitzki had singled minutes earlier -- led off the bottom of the seventh with a tying, solo homer off Juan Nicasio. "I'd rather have the win than throw a no-hitter," McDonald said between games. "The confidence I felt helped a lot. I was just going aggressively at guys, whatever the count was. "When I was out there, I didn't think about a no-hitter; that just isn't something you think about pitch-to-pitch. My main concern was to keep the team in the game. The main goal was to win the game." Despite another starter's excellence, it didn't happen, and that frustration continued to grip the Bucs midway through the nightcap. The fate of a second-inning charge at Chacin captured the Pirates' offensive frustrations -- and of manager Clint Hurdle's challenge to assemble a lineup that offers some continuity. Yamaico Navarro led off with a walk, and when Clint Barmes followed with a double, the Bucs seemed to be poised for a breakthrough. But after No. 8 hitter Rod Barajas (average: .108) popped out and Morton fanned, Presley's fly to medium-deep center could do no good. Two at-bats later, Presley triggered the Bucs' rally with a double to extended his hitting streak to 11 games.Tom Singer is a reporter for MLB.com and writes an MLBlog Change for a Nickel.

Hurricane Irene of August 2011 was predicted to hit North Carolina as a Cat 3, but hit as a Cat 1. New research gives partial credit for Irene's unexpected weakening to dust and air pollution sucked in by the storm. These particles (collectively called aerosols) invigorated the outer spiral bands and outer eyewall, and kept the outer portions of the storm strong at the expense of the inner core.
Returning to that part of Wisconsin's BCPL's commitment "to a long-term strategy of sustainable forestry," ignoring climate change is contrary to that mission, perhaps assumption of a public liability.

New York Streetwalkers, 1971
View photo details
July 11, 2013
by Burt Glinn
In 1971 Burt Glinn documented street prostitutes for New York Magazine. At the time, prostitutes had been getting more mention in the press due to a series of incidents in which streetwalkers had attacked clients. Many thought that prostitutes were beginning to make more money through violence than "rendered services", this at a time when the New York Times claimed that there were more protitutes, gangsters and hoodlums in Times Square than ever before.
Prostitution was able to exist at such a scale since laws at the time made it practically impossible to get a conviction and even when one was attained, the fine was usually as low as $50-$100; a trifle since a streetwalker could earn her money back in less than an hour.
Since Magnum's office at this time was located in the same area in which the photos were taken, publications were told that neither the photographer's nor Magnum's name should appear in credit lines. A precaution like this was essential in the "bad old days" of New York. How the city has changed!

Cain, Garland clash in finale of eventful series
Rubber game comes after Rockies' shutout win, Giants' walk-off
With an early tussle atop the National League West standings underway, the Rockies and Giants will meet once more Sunday after a wild finish to Saturday's game set up a rubber match at AT&T Park.
The Rockies had claimed a shutout victory in the opener, and then Angel Pagan put a finishing flourish on the second game with a walk-off, inside-the-park homer in the 10th inning Saturday. With the two teams battling with Arizona for the early NL West lead, a series finale with some significance is on tap.
On Sunday, Giants ace Matt Cain, beginning to emerge from a sputtering start to the season, will be on the mound for the Giants, and the Rockies will send right-hander Jon Garland to the mound as they try to make it a winning weekend on the road.
It certainly started out that way for Colorado, which came into the series having lost nine straight at San Francisco, dating back to last season. The Rockies held the Giants scoreless for the first 14 innings of this series before San Francisco broke through with three runs in the sixth inning of Saturday's game, eventually sending it into extra innings.
But the Giants came up with just enough offense Saturday to come away with their seventh walk-off victory of the season. Giants manager Bruce Bochy saw the end in his office after being ejected by home-plate umpire Alfonso Marquez after the second of two close calls went against the Giants, but he was glad to see the winning outcome for his Giants.
"I can't say enough about how they found a way to win that ballgame, because that's one that would have stayed with us a long time," Bochy said.
In the finale, the Giants will go with the pitcher who has been their rock for years but has been trying to right the ship in 2013. Making his 11th start of the season, Cain has gone 3-0 with a 3.45 ERA in his last four starts, taking a no-decision in his last outing against the Nationals despite allowing just two runs on seven hits over seven innings.
Garland, who signed with the Rockies at the end of Spring Training and made his first outing since shoulder surgery in 2011, will be making his first start against the Giants since 2010, when he was with the Padres. Garland absorbed his third consecutive loss his last time out, allowing five runs in six innings against the D-backs.
Rockies: CarGo keeps rolling
Carlos Gonzalez homered for the third straight game Saturday, giving him 13 homers on the season and 42 runs scored, tops in the National League.
Over the Rockies' last 11 games, Gonzalez has gone 17-for-42 (.405) with three doubles, a triple, six home runs, 13 RBIs and 14 runs.
• Eric Young Jr., who will be trying to fight through his hitting woes in a reserve role, served only as a pinch-runner Saturday. "He's still a weapon. We'll try to keep him involved, like everybody else," Rockies manager Walt Weiss said.
Giants: Gaudin in relief, for now
While the Giants are considering whether they want to use Chad Gaudin in a starting role, he made another appearance in a relief role Saturday, pitching a scoreless seventh inning to give him a 2.00 ERA in 16 appearances out the bullpen.
How that affects his availability to start Tuesday in place of injured right-hander Ryan Vogelsong remains to be seen. Bochy, who expects to announce the starter Sunday, likes what he has in the veteran Gaudin, but notes that the rotation's gain could be the bullpen's loss if he shifts to starting.
"Taking a veteran guy out of your bullpen when you have one that's down already, that's another element [in] the decision-making," Bochy said.
Worth noting
• The Rockies had run off four consecutive victories against the Giants before Saturday, including back-to-back shutouts (one on May 19 in Colorado, the other Friday) for the first time since the two teams began playing each other in Colorado's first season in 1993.
• Following Sunday's finale, the Giants will head across San Francisco Bay for the opener of a two-game series against their Interleague rivals, the A's, followed by two more back at AT&T Park on Wednesday and Thursday. The Rockies will be matched with the Astros as Interleague rivals for the first time with Houston joining the American League, meeting for two in Houston followed by two in Denver.
