A note to the 37,919 fans in attendance at Fenway for last Thursday's win over the Athletics.
Asking for a curtain call from David Ortiz on the same day he was outed as a steroid user? That means the following:
You can no longer chant "A-Roid".
You cannot laugh at those fans in San Francisco who rooted for Barry Bonds, or the Yankees fans that cheered when it was announced that Clemens was coming back in 2007. You are those people.
No "Mannywood" jokes, either. And that means that you are okay with Big Mac and Sammy in 1998. All the same stuff, really.
And if you lose a Game 7 of the ALCS to a pitcher that flunks a test four months later there is no bitching allowed. You lost that right when you told Big Papi that everything is okay.
I get that Ortiz is beloved here, I really do. And he made a mistake and life goes on. But, you know, it is okay to show a little anger. He did do something wrong. Maybe, just maybe hold off a week or two before you act like nothing happened?
This was a low moment for Boston sports. All of 37,919 fans basically had a chance to make their thoughts on the Steroid Era known and decided to yawn.
I thought MVP chants for Kobe Bryant at the Garden in 2007 was the bottom of the last 15 years from Boston fans (just edging out a standing ovation for Clemens in 2003 and 20,000 Bruins' fans showing up at City Hall to celebrate Ray Bourque winning a Cup for another team in 2000) but this is the topper. A disgraceful effort from good fans that should (and do) know better.
A few winners and (other) losers from the Ortiz saga… (and, as always, email me at email@example.com with any and all thoughts):
Winner: Carl Michael Yastrzemski
In the spirit of former WWF commissioner Jack Tunney, I am going to strip David Ortiz of the title of Greatest Clutch Hitter in Red Sox History and return it to Captain Carl. I don't know if cigarettes have the same impact as steroids, but they seemed to have helped No. 8 when it mattered most:
Postseason Numbers:
Yaz: .369 batting average, .447 OBP, .600 slugging
Ortiz: .293 batting average, .401 OBP, .543 slugging
True, Ortiz's sample size is much larger (277 plate appearances to 76 plate appearances), but throw in Yaz's September/October in 1967(.417 BA with nine homers and 26 RBI in the middle of perhaps the most famous pennant race in history) and you've almost got a wash.
The season of 1978 was the Year of Ron Guidry. 25-3, 1.74 ERA, nine shutouts, 16 complete games. Totally dominant. How dominant? In 273.2 innings pitched he gave up exactly one home run to a left-handed hitter. And that was to Carl Yastrzemski. I'm guessing you've heard of the game in which the homer occurred, it was the 163rd of the season for the Sox and Yankees. Clutch enough for you?
So I ask you, John W. Henry (who has been pretty quiet on his Twitter page the last 96 hours or so), to step up and do the right thing. That plaque you presented to Ortiz in September of 2005? I'm not asking you to smash it to bits in a pre-game ceremony. Just a slight edit is all that we need.
Loser: Manny Ramirez
From a First Ballot Hall of Famer to an absolute punch line in three months. Great legacy, Manny. The first significant player (that we know about) to flunk a pair of steroid tests.
What's ironic is that 2003 was Manny's least productive season since 1997. I'll just assume that he blossomed naturally as a hitter after that and just started randomly taking steroids starting in 2003, because looking at the 1997 Indians' roster I can't find anyone who might've been on the juice.
Here's how I look at Manny and Ortiz as a duo historically: They have gone from being a notch below Ruth and Gehrig to maybe half a notch above McGwire and Canseco.
(And I'd put Canseco in the Hall of Fame before the other three. Sure, if some Double-A team in Greenville had given him a third-base coaching job six years ago he probably would've stayed quiet, but there is now no denying his impact on MLB history. An easy punch line, but we would not be here without "Juiced". Of the four, he's the only one to cop to doing steroids. Also he's got the only MVP in the group. He's not a Hall of Fame player but if this game becomes clean again a man who actually advocates the use of steroids will be, I believe, the person most responsible for the purification of our pastime.)
Winner: Terry Ryan
OK Dan Duquette, time to hand the torch over and let Mr. Ryan run a lap on the "Vindicated by the Steroid Era" track. He has been crucified over the last six years for releasing Ortiz in 2003 to create a roster spot for Jose Morban (who actually never played for the Twins and played just 61 games in the majors, hitting .141. Off topic I know, but how did a guy hitting .141 with a .225 slugging percentage DH in 14 games? Were the 2003 Orioles that bad?)
No doubt it was a mistake. A pretty large one, even if Oritz had just maintained his pre-2003 level. Look at his 2002 season. At age 26 (uh, okay) he hit 20 homers with 74 RBI in just 125 games, slugging .500. That is B, B+ production at the DH position. No reason to think that he couldn't at least do that for the next three, four years, right? But the Twins sent him out and watched Ortiz get a cool nickname, ESPN commercials and a book deal (oh, and average 42 HRs and 128 RBI from 2003-07) while they trotted out the following guys at DH for the Metrodome crowd:
2003: Matt LeCroy
2004: Jose Offerman
2005: Matt LeCroy
2006: Rondell White
2007: Jeff Cirillo
No nicknames were born from those seasons. But I can't go crazy on Ryan. For one, I don't remember a bidding war for Ortiz after 2002. A lot of teams felt the same way the Twins did, it would appear. And the team that signed him felt that he'd be a nice backup for Jeremy Giambi. So it was a minor miss by Ryan, but the player he gave up on was not the same one that showed up in Boston over the next half decade.
(And by half decade I do mean that I personally doubt very highly that Ortiz, a part-time player with some injury history before 2003, just quit the juice after a breakout season. Total speculation on my part, nothing more -- well, the 54-homer season could be seen as a hint. As Justice Potter Stewart once remarked on pornography, "I know it when I see it" -- pretty good work by the judge when you realize this was before HD internet scenes were available. That's where I've been with Oritz on steroids for years and that hasn't changed, of course.)
Loser: Tony Massarotti
Here's the deal, Tony. You can write the "Big Papi is a Fraud" column. Go for it. I even agreed with some stuff in there. But at some point don't you have to mention that the co-author of 2007's "Big Papi: My Story of Big Dreams and Big Hits" was Tony Massarotti? I'm not asking you to give any money back, but how about a simple acknowledgement (an editor's note was added some time after the post by Massarotti)? And this isn't Globe bashing for the sake of Globe bashing. If Mike Lowell failed a steroid test and Rob Bradford never mentioned it I'd bash him like crazy. Bottom line: If you are going to take the moral high ground over someone at least mention that some of the terrible things done might have paid for a few of your shirts.
Winner: Ken Griffey, Jr.
Or, The Last Hope.
I am comforted that Griffey never hit 70 home runs in a season. I am comforted that Griffey has had the sort of career decline that falls in line with the career declines of the players I grew up watching. Every generation has had at least one truly great slugger. The 1950s and 1960s had Mantle. The 1970s and 1980s had Schmidt. Maybe Griffey is the one from the 1990s and 2000s.
Loser: Michael Weiner
The presumed next executive director of MLBPA really can't win when he sits down with Bud Selig (assuming he's still in charge) in December of 2011 to try and hammer out a new collective bargaining agreement. If Bud really does want the 'roids out of the game (and sometimes I wonder) all he has to say is this:
"Here's the deal. Same testing policy we have for the minor leaguers. Notice how none of these young guys, the big names, have been on any lists? It's because they have been conditioned to testing. That's also why you don't see 68-homer seasons anymore. Kinda nice to have 40 homers mean something again, right? And we agree that the older guys are moving out and taking the flaxseed oil and fertility drugs with them. So if the game is almost clean, why not take the final step?
First Offense: Two-Year Suspension.
Second Offense: Lifetime Ban.
Again, shouldn't be a problem if the guys are on the up and up. By the way, this is the only offer. All doors in every ballpark will be locked until you agree."
Won't happen, of course, but wouldn't it be nice?
A final word on Ortiz…
Do I think that the 2004 and 2007 World Series Titles are "tainted", as it has been suggested over the past five days? No. Find me a good team from those seasons that had no players doing any performance enhancing drugs of any kind and we can talk. And Ortiz isn't simply a creation of steroids. You don't do the things he did without a great deal of talent. But whatever he was to Red Sox fans on July 29th is gone. You can stand and cheer until you believe it's 2006 again, but the Ortiz Era is gone.
And whatever it was will never be the same again.

Watch: Our universe is amazing!!!! Get lost in our reality! (VIDEO)
Poster Handle
Post Content
Thanks man!! Damn I don't know what happened but I watched that video, got into some sort of trance and I had goosebumps all over my body, my heart rate was going WILD I tell you and I was breathing twice as fast as normal, I felt this amazing feeling of joy and love.. Tears in my eyes.. damn can't even describe the feeling.. just AMAZING thanks!! Karma for you!!
Thank you friend! I know the exact feeling you are describing, as I too felt a spiritual feeling when I saw it as well. It was a feeling of love, compassion, truth, and life. I also had emotions of sorrow and anger.. but that was toward the end of the video when I started thinking about all the stupid b.s we as a spieces are doing to each other.
I'm going to watch the video again, because the words you used to describe your emotions was awesome :)
Thank you for watching the video.. I thought it was beautiful.
You're welcome!
Every single human being watching that video will feel something, a feeling of: Home sweet Home! It is the time! Our deepest desires are calling for us to come home and join the field of one!
I feel you bro, but loose the sorrow and anger, I know it's hard, but to be honest, it ain't our freakin' fault! Leave the past as it is, and embrace the future as YOU want! And because EVERY human being wants unconditional love, then that's the world that's going to be created, keep that in mind my friend! We need to be in total darkness before we can experience the joy of light, we need it to evolve ;)
EVERYTHING that happens is good, only because we are in duality we can put a label Bad or Good on it, but that's the goal and joy, to create ONLY GOOD! At animals happen BAD and GOOD things, but they don't experience it like that, it just is, so they CAN'T learn from it and then create only the good things! WE CAN!!!
I know what you mean, I think anyone that watches this video and probably a few other that I have posted, they will feel some sense of good conciousness. Like the moment you press play and you are at the 30 second mark and you stop the video, you have no heart lol.
I'm not somebody that holds on to anger or anything like that, it was just that we can do so much if we unite, it would be a incredible feeling for everyone on the planet to hold hands and embrace one another. It just sucks, because as you get older, you realize that the world is NOTHING like you expected it to be. You thought there were good guys, and bad guys... but it doesn't just stop there. Evil is all around us, but in reality no one is born evil. It's like the world as a whole is out of sync. Darkness is all around us, we need to find the light, but I have faith, because good always prevails. Like you said, everyone is looking to love and be love.. and that is an unstoppable force. Fear is what holds us back as a civilization, I believe. One day I hope that we all get rid of this fear and replace it with love & strength.
We are the only ones that can make the future a better place for all.
Hope you have a great day friend!
I know exactly how you feel, I've been there too, but I learned to block it out and focus on the good things, evil does not exist if you have good thoughts. That's why they are bombarding us with EXTERNAL fear/hate etc. but it is an illusion, this does not exist if you do not believe it to exist. They want to put it in our head so we THINK it is real, and there for EXPERIENCE it as real. But it isn't my friend!!
Thanks! you too!
Please verify you're human:

Snow and Ice Overview
A tenth of Earth's land surface is permanently occupied by ice sheets or glaciers, but the domain of the cryosphere – that part of the world where snow and ice can form – extends three times further still.
The cryosphere is an important regulator of global climate, its bright albedo reflecting sunlight back to space and its presence influencing regional weather and global ocean currents. Some 77% of the globes freshwater are bound up within the ice – but the cryosphere appears disproportionately sensitive to the effects of global warming.
Imaging radar systems like those of ERS and Envisat pierce through clouds or seasonal darkness to chart ice extent, possessing sensitivity to different ice types – from kilometers - thick ice sheets to new-born floating 'pancake' ice – supplemented by optical observations.
Radar altimeters gather data on changing ice height and mass: in 2009 ESA launched CryoSat-2 as the first altimetry mission specifically designed to accurately measure the thickness of sea ice and land ice margins.
Snow and Ice News
Cool summer boosts Arctic ice
20 July 2015
Measurements from ESA's CryoSat satellite show that the volume of Arctic sea ice increased by a third following the unusually cool summer of 2013. This new finding suggests that ice in the northern hemisphere is more sensitive to changes in summer melting than it is to winter cooling.
SMOS sings the song of ice and fire
02 July 2015
While ESA's water mission continues to deliver key information on soil moisture and ocean salinity to advance our understanding of Earth, it is becoming increasingly important for 'real world' applications, further demonstrating the societal benefit of Earth observation.
Specific Topics on Snow and Ice
Frozen Ground
The enormous permafrost areas of the world show seasonal change which has impact on not only vegetation and hydrological cycles, but also on the planning and safety of huge gas and oil pipelines which traverse these areas.
Sea Ice
Sea ice is formed from ocean water that freezes, whether along coasts or to the sea floor (fast ice) or floating on the surface (drift ice) or packed together (pack ice). The most important areas of pack ice are the polar ice packs. Because of vast amounts of water added to or removed from the oceans and atmosphere, the behavior of polar ice packs have a significant impact of the global changes in climate.
Snow & Ice
The study of snow and ice is aimed at monitoring the environmental conditions of some of the most inaccessible parts of the world. This includes the study of animal migration, ice mass balance, snowpack conditions, and monitoring of iceberg movement for ship routing.

Nothing Like the Holidays: Hot cast fizzles
The old chestnut about a dysfunctional family reuniting for Christmas picks up some Latino spice – but not enough to warm hearts – in the ridiculously named Nothing Like the Holidays .

Starring Alfred Molina, Elizabeth Peña, Freddy Rodriguez, John Leguizamo and Debra Messing. Directed by Alfredo De Villa. 98 minutes. At major theatres. PG
The old chestnut about a dysfunctional family reuniting for Christmas picks up some Latino spice – but not enough to warm hearts – in the ridiculously named Nothing Like the Holidays.
The twist on the hoary "I'll Be Home for Christmas" tale is the all-Hispanic cast – Debra Messing being the exception as uptight banker Sarah who has married into the family and favours capital gains over labour pains, much to her mother-in-law's distress.
Rodriguez family matriarch Anna (Elizabeth Peña doing stellar duty), and her husband, bodega owner Edy (Frida's Alfred Molina) will have their brood home in Chicago for the first Christmas in years.
There's the eldest, fancy Manhattan lawyer Mauricio (John Leguizamo) and pale, redheaded wife Sarah. Daughter Roxanna (Vanessa Ferlito) is back from Hollywood, where she is on the cusp of stardom. At least, that's what the family thinks.
Son Jesse (Six Feet Under and Ugly Betty's Freddy Rodríguez) has returned from a tour of duty in Iraq, harbouring a secret that tortures him, even as his father cheerfully assures him now that he's home, he'll have a bright future running the busy bodega with his pop.
Toss in Marissa (Melonie Diaz), Jesse's lovely ex-girlfriend whom he kicked to the curb in a letter; cousin Johnny (Luis Guzmán), the resident funnyman; and ex-gang member Ozzy (Jay Hernandez) who works at the bodega and is sweet on Roxanna.
Are we done yet? Ay, mommy! We haven't even started.
The four writers on the job, including Robert Teitel, who was behind both the Barbershop and Soul Food franchises, have mined every cliché seasonal storyline imaginable. We've got suspicion of infidelity, yearning for lost love, a mystery illness, boisterous fun and drinking, a fist fight, dramatic announcements at the dinner table, drunken escapades, futile attempts by the outsider wife to fit in, long walks in the snow, and much merriment involving the attempted removal of a dead tree from the front lawn.
Trouble is, from The Family Stone to Christmas Vacation, it's all been done before – and far better.
There are some funny bits, most coming courtesy of Guzmán, who exhorts Sarah to start popping out some "sorta-Ricans." And Edy tells Jesse that he and Anna watched Coming Home, to prepare for his return from war.
With talents like Leguizamo, Molina, Peña and the usually funny Messing on board, Nothing Like the Holidays should have done much more to amuse and inspire.
But the movie has a stilted quality and even the scenes that are supposed to seem spontaneous, like the parranda, the army of neighbourhood carollers who pour into the street singing seasonal songs, seems contrived.
Originally titled Humboldt Park for the Chicago neighbourhood where the story is set, Nothing Like the Holidays didn't benefit from its puzzling new title. While there may well be nothing like the holidays, there's a lot that is dully familiar about the movie of the same name.

ResilienceConfronting weather extremes by making infrastructure more resilient
South Florida's predisposition to weather extremes renders the region's infrastructure acutely vulnerable. But weather extremes are not exclusive to South Florida. The Urban Resilience to Extreme Weather-Related Events Sustainability Research Network (UREx SRN), a newly formed team of researchers, is addressing these challenges on an international scale.
LandminesNew 3-D camera technology to uncover hidden landmines
It is estimated there are 110 million landmines buried across the world, with the potential to kill and maim innocent men, women, and children for decades to come. Yet landmine detection techniques have barely changed since the Second World War. The UN estimates that, using current technology, it would take more than 1,100 years to clear the estimated 110 million landmines situated in seventy countries. Researchers are exploring new landmine detection technologies.
Coastal resilienceCoral reefs could protect Pacific islands from rising seas – but only if global warming slows
The coral reefs that have protected Pacific Islanders from storm waves for thousands of years could grow rapidly enough to keep up with escalating sea levels if ocean temperatures do not rise too quickly, according to a new study. If global temperatures continue to rise and thus retard the growth of these natural storm barriers, the homelands of millions of people on lands throughout the Pacific Ocean will be in jeopardy.
ResilienceMore extreme heat coming to the Southeast
The Southeastern United States and Texas are uniquely at risk from climate change, according to a new report release the other day by the Risky Business Project. The Southeast region also faces the highest risks of coastal property losses in the nation as seas rise and storms surge. Between $48.2 billion and $68.7 billion worth of existing coastal property in the Southeast will likely be below sea level by 2050. Cities like Miami and New Orleans will likely be severely affected. The dramatic increase in the number of days above 95 degrees Fahrenheit will have a deleterious effect on people's health, agricultural yields.
Urban resilienceStrengthening urban infrastructure to withstand extreme weather-related events
A multi-disciplinary team of about fifty researchers from fifteen universities and other institutions will address the vulnerability of urban infrastructure to extreme weather related events, and ways of reducing that vulnerability. Funded under a $12 million research grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF), the researchers will conduct their extensive work over the coming five years. In light of weather related extremes, such as increasing storm frequency and intensity, as well as climate uncertainties, this network will evaluate threats to transportation, electricity, water, and other services in major urban areas, and the social, ecological, and technical systems to protect infrastructure and increase its flexibility and adaptability, using new designs and technologies.
WaterIsrael shares its approach, solutions to drought with California

Earthquake-proofingSafer structures to withstand earthquakes, windstorms
A new cyberinfrastructure effort funded by a $13.7 million grant from the National Science Foundation will help engineers build safer structures that can better withstand natural hazards such as earthquakes and windstorms. Researchers aim to build a software platform, data repository, and tools that will help the United States design more resilient buildings, levees, and other public infrastructure that could protect lives, property and communities.
AviationBomb-proof lining contains explosion in aircraft's luggage hold
A bomb-proof lining developed by an international team of scientists has successfully contained blasts in a series of controlled explosions in the luggage hold of a Boeing 747 and an Airbus 321. The Fly-Bag, which lines an aircraft's luggage hold with multiple layers of novel fabrics and composites, was tested last week under increasing explosive charges on disused planes. The tests, using this technology, have demonstrated that a plane's luggage hold may be able to contain the force of an explosion should a device concealed within a passenger's luggage be detonated during a flight.
EnergyWhere does solar energy stand, where does it need to go to fulfill its potential?
Most experts agree that to have a shot at curbing the worst impacts of climate change, we need to extricate our society from fossil fuels and ramp up our use of renewable energy. The sun's energy is unlimited, free and clean, and the amount that hits Earth in one hour is equal to the amount of energy used in one year by the entire planet. Yet, although installed global photovoltaic capacity increased almost nine-fold and the price of solar panels dropped by two-thirds between 2008 and 2013, only 1 percent of U.S. and global electricity generation come from solar energy. Where does solar energy stand today, and where does it need to go in order for us to make the transition to renewable energy?
Resilience2014 was Earth's warmest year on record; climate markers show global warming trend
In 2014, the most essential indicators of Earth's changing climate continued to reflect trends of a warming planet, with several markers such as rising land and ocean temperature, sea levels, and greenhouse gases — setting new records. The report's climate indicators show patterns, changes, and trends of the global climate system. Examples of the indicators include various types of greenhouse gases; temperatures throughout the atmosphere, ocean, and land; cloud cover; sea level; ocean salinity; sea ice extent; and snow cover. "The variety of indicators shows us how our climate is changing, not just in temperature but from the depths of the oceans to the outer atmosphere," said Thomas Karl, director of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA) National Centers for Environmental Information.
DisastersMillions displaced as a result of climate-related disasters, building in hazard-prone areas
In the last seven years, an estimated one person every second has been displaced by a disaster, with 19.3 million people forced to flee their homes in 2014 alone. In 2014, 17.5 million people were forced to flee their homes by disasters brought on by weather-related hazards such as floods and storms, and 1.7 million by geophysical hazards such as earthquakes. Climate change is expected to exacerbate the situation in the future, as severe weather hazards become more frequent and intense. Man-made factors — such as rapid economic development, urbanization, and population growth in hazard-prone areas – have also contributed to the the overall increase in disaster displacement.
Food securityAccelerometers embedded in ear tags detect disease in beef cattle
A smartphone switches its orientation from portrait to landscape depending on how it's tilted. A car's airbags inflate when it senses collision forces. By detecting earth's vibrations, a computer can measure the magnitude and aftershocks of an earthquake. These technologies are made possible by accelerometers — small, electromechanical devices that measure acceleration. The devices are able to detect the most sensitive of motions, from the number of steps taken during a morning walk to the number of jaw movements during a heifer's morning meal. In fact, some dairy producers use these devices to measure feed intake, detect heat and notably, identify sick animals.
ResilienceIAEA uses nuclear detection techniques to help measure climate change effects
The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) is responsible for monitoring compliance with the Nuclear Non-proliferation Treaty (NPT) – but the detection technologies it uses to detect illicit nuclear activities are also helpful in tracking and quantifying the effects of climate change. Nuclear techniques offer substantial advantages over conventional techniques for measuring climate change impact. "Stable isotope analyzers let us monitor agricultural processes as they happen. They allow us to quantify carbon capture and emission patterns of farming practices, enabling us to find ways to improve them," explained one expert.
Law enforcement technologyDetecting illegal, designer drugs from a single fingerprint
An innovative technology can detect the presence of a range of illegal and designer drugs from a single fingerprint, which could be a valuable new tool in bringing drug dealers and other criminals to justice. The technology, known as Matrix Assisted Laser Desorption Ionization Mass Spectrometry Imaging (MALDI-MSI), can detect the presence of cocaine, THC (the chemical present in marijuana), heroin, amphetamine and other designer drugs from a fingerprint.

John Raoux, Associated Press
ORLANDO, Fla. — Magic center Dwight Howard has finally put an end to the back-and-forth NBA roller-coaster ride that he had taken Orlando on for the past four months.
At least temporarily.
Howard's 11th-hour decision before Thursday's trade deadline to waive the early termination option in his contract means he has a deal with the only franchise he's known at least through next season.
"I'm glad this is finally over," Howard said at a news conference to announce the new pact. "...It's not as easy as some people think. It's been very hard. We're talking a career-changing event. Most people don't see that.
"I'm very loyal and I've always put loyalty above anything."
But loyality only goes so far, the Magic wanted it in writing.
Had Howard not signed the papers, he would have been gone.
"It was real," Orlando general manager Otis Smith said of the possibility of dealing Howard before he signed the waiver. "We weren't rolling the dice."
But unless the Howard and the Magic can reach a long-term deal before next season begins, they're start right where they left off before Thursday. And it hasn't been pretty.
The Magic organization trudged through repeated closed door waffling on Howard's part about a desire to play with multiple teams and players, the city hosted an awkward All-Star weekend and pacifying a patient fan base.
Teammates have been frustrated and the situation has had an already intense Stan Van Gundy ready to blow a gasket having to answer — or refusing to answer — daily questions about Howard's status.
Even Howard's mother chimed in at one point during the drama, saying that she thought her son should remain in Orlando.
The saga continued until just hours before the trade deadline.
It was originally thought by both the Magic and league office that both Howard and agent Dan Fegan had to sign the forms. But turns out only Howard's signature was needed, opening the door for one more possible change of heart.
Though he had previously alluded to "getting bad advice" from people around him, Howard refused to touch the subject Thursday.
"It doesn't matter at this point," he said.
Howard said he didn't think he'd had a full night's sleep since making his original trade demand. He offered an apology to Magic fans for the back-and-forth ordeal, but not for taking his due diligence to make it.
"There's no decision about your life that you're gonna make in one day or one hour," he said.
But the four months it took Howard to make a decision impacted a lot of other people.
Howard first requested a trade during the preseason and at the time he expressed frustration with Magic management and what he felt was an unwillingness to include him in personnel decisions or to improve the roster around him. He went as far as to praise the relationship he felt All-Star Dirk Nowitzki has with Mavericks' owner Mark Cuban.
He maintained that stance until changing his mind this week and expressing a desire to remain in Orlando this season, though he initially refused to waive his opt-out provision.
Howard said he made his decision to waive the early termination clause in the hours after the Magic's loss to San Antonio Wednesday night and then notified the team via phone calls and text messages while on the team plane.

With the advancement of baseball statistics, it's becoming less and less common to see clubs make egregious lineup mistakes. There was a time in the not-too-distant past when a manager could talk himself into putting a player into the lineup if he thought enough of the guy's intangibles. Nowadays, it isn't so easy to sell that to a media (not to mention an ownership) that's wise to the ways of OBP, isolated power and OPS+.
There are some poor decisions that slip through the cracks, though, one of which is ongoing and as inexplicable as any playing time Neifi Perez ever got.
Take a look at the following players' career lines:
Player A: .197/.274/.328 in 596 PAs
Player B: .248/.362/.494 in 866 Pas
Yeah, it looks like Player B is quite a bit better. But what if Player A is improving and the career stats don't show it? Let's check out last season:
Player A: .194/.275/.318 in 328 PAs
Player B: .273/.374/.586 in 274 PAs
But what if Player A is younger? Well, he is, but only by a year. Player A just turned 26, while Player B turned 27 in October. And no, this is not a situation where Player B is beefing up his numbers in a platoon role. He is a right-handed hitter who has a career OPS of .873 against righties and .852 against lefties.
So the question becomes, "What could possibly possess a team to put Player A in the lineup as much as Player B?" Ask the Angels, because they continue to give Jeff Mathis (Player A) slightly more playing time than Mike Napoli (Player B). And really, it's inexplicable.
Mathis has always been a bit of an organizational favorite, as he was a highly regarded prospect for years. A supplemental first-round pick in 2001, Mathis was anointed the Angels' catcher of the future, while Napoli, a 17th-round pick a year earlier, fought an uphill battle to get noticed.
Even if you concede Mathis is a far superior defensive player, it would never be enough to make up for the chasm between their offensive production. To put it in further perspective, we can look at Baseball Prospectus' Positional Marginal Lineup Value, which measures a player's production relative to the average player at his position. Last season, Napoli had a PMLV of 23.0, while Mathis' was -18.0. That's a difference of 41 runs! And remember, this is not a rate stat. If you consider that a full-time catcher plays about 130 games in a season, we can use PLMVr, which measures PLMV per game, to see how each would do if they had played 130 games last season. If you take Napoli's PLMVr and multiply it by 130, you get 46.15, and for Mathis you have -30.16. When you look at it that way, you could argue that the Angels voluntarily sacrificed upwards of 70 runs of offense by not using Napoli as their regular catcher. And the most amazing part of all this is not that the Angels used Mathis more than Napoli, it's that they won 100 games in spite of it.
Both Napoli and Mathis are off to hot starts this year, but there is no reason to believe that Mathis will sustain it. And after Vladimir Guerrero, Napoli might actually be the team's best hitter. It's pretty clear the Halos aren't going to walk away with the AL West again. So if they want to win their third straight division crown, manager Mike Scioscia needs to get Napoli in the lineup a whole lot more.

A Spanish neo-Nazi activist was mauled by a pack of lions after jumping into their enclosure at Barcelona Zoo this week.
Justo José Mira Payá, a former police-officer-turned-right-wing-extremist, was leapt on by one of the animals and pushed into a pit, where he was bitten and dragged along the ground.
The normally genteel Hampstead Garden Suburb is preparing for battle - over links to a German town once a hotbed of Nazism.
The Suburb, as it is affectionately known, was partly modelled on Rothenburg, a Bavarian town which became a bastion of Nazi sentiment during the Holocaust.

World-famous rapper Nicki Minaj has been condemned for featuring Nazi-style imagery in her new video.
Ms Minaj, the most successful female rap artist in history, released an animated video for her song Only which features swastika-style flags, a gas mask with the word "chamber" over it and the rap star being saluted by troops wearing red armbands.
Police in Germany are investigating the theft of the "Arbeit Macht Frei" sign from the main gate at Dachau concentration camp.
A section of the wrought-iron sign, measuring 191cm by 94cm, was taken on Sunday night.
Security guards failed to spot the thieves, who had to scale another gate before getting to the sign.
The attorney for a Viennese Jew sentenced to jail for failing to mention other heirs to property confiscated by the Nazis has requested that the case be reheard.
A neo-Nazi website based in the US is behind a co-ordinated campaign of antisemitic abuse targeting Britain's youngest Jewish MP, the JC can reveal.
The site provides a user guide to harassing Luciana Berger and has created offensive images to be shared by internet trolls and sent to her via social media sites.
At least 1,000 ex-Nazis – some of them certainly war criminals responsible for murdering thousands of Jews – were recruited to spy for the US at the peak of the Cold War, the New York Times reported.
They were reportedly protected by the Central Intelligence Agency and FBI, both institutions infused by the post-war paranoia of Communism.
An Czech woman has been posthumously honoured for gaining revenge on Nazis by sleeping with soldiers to infect them with sexually transmitted diseases.
After a campaign by retired lawyer Karel Friml, who lives in the woman's former home, she has been commemorated with honorary plaque which was placed on the outside of her house.
Dozens of activists and politicians affiliated to the Greek neo-Nazi party Golden Dawn are facing trial for criminal offences.
A state prosecutor produced a 700-page document last week which outlined the legal case against more than 50 key party members - in addition to the 16 MPs who are currently in custody pending trial.

Jewish heirs have successfully claimed the 16th-Century silver-gilt salt cellar which was taken as part of a forced sale by the Nazis in Berlin in 1937.
It originally belonged to Hamburg Jewish collector Emma Budge, whose large collection was ordered to be sold.

Ghana's mixed fortune as a dumping ground for e-waste
10 Oct 2003 09:49 GMT
Frank Rogue, 44, from Phoenix, faces death by lethal injection for gunning down Balbir Singh Sodhi, a Sikh, who wore a turban and beard as part of his beliefs.
Rogue had apparently mistaken Sodhi for being an Arab.
Prosecutors argued Sodhi's murder on 15 September, 2001 was fuelled by racism and hate, and carried out by Rogue – a man with a long history of alcoholism.
But defence attorneys said Rogue was mentally ill and pushed over the edge by the attacks.
The jury deliberated for six hours, in the case which attracted international attention.
An appeal to the decision is mandatory.
Indian complaint
"The jury brought justice back to our family. They brought the truth in front of the whole world and showed that we are all Americans"Lakhwinder Singh Sodhi,victim's brother
The shooting prompted India to call on the US government to take steps to prevent assaults on Sikhs living in America.
Sodhi, 49, who came to the US in 1988 from a small village in Punjab.
He was one of several Sikhs attacked in America after 11 September 2001 after apparently being mistaken as Muslims.
Rogue, who still faces sentencing on other charges stemming from two other shootings of people of Afghani and Lebanese descent on the day of the murder, becomes the 127th person on Arizona's death row.
Lakhwinder Singh Sodhi said he was relieved that more than two years of waiting was over and that his brother's killer will not go unpunished.
"The jury brought justice back to our family," he told Reuters.
"They brought the truth in front of the whole world and showed that we are all Americans."

TEXAS CITY, Texas -- Darreck Foreman would occasionally get annoyed at his twin sons' constant competition. Whether it was during their video game sessions or a dispute on who got to sit in the front seat of the car, Armanti Foreman and D'Onta Foreman have always gone at it.
And though it could be frustrating at times, Darreck Foreman feels like it is one of the primary reasons his sons are Class of 2014 standouts at Texas City (Texas) High School. Armanti, a receiver, is already committed to Oklahoma. D'Onta, a running back and linebacker for the Stingarees, doesn't yet have an offer but could have a college future at one of those positions.
Both are athletic, explosive playmakers, something their father has seen in them since they were young.

We had some really good time there and we have a lot of good shots that we will keep for our movie. So for now just enjoy the podcast!

Peyton Planning to Dance with the Stars?
by Mike Stanz
posted Jul 30 2014 5:00AM
At the Denver Broncos practice facility yesterday, quarterback Peyton Manning got hit with a bad case of happy feet.
Someone blasted the unofficial fight song of his alma mater, the University of Tennesse. It's a country tune called "Rocky Top," and Peyton just had to bust a move.
Check out wide receiver Wes Welker (#83) in the video, sort of spinning like he just got off a roundabout at a playground.

Vegetarian Parents Complain That Their Children Starve In Kindergarten
Vegetarian parents complained in Bulgaria's Discrimination Protection Committee (DPC) that their children, who are also vegetarians, stay hungry in the kindergartens.
The parents who have filed several complaints already, demand that their children receive vegetarian food.
In one of the cases a mother claimed her son was discriminated on the grounds of health, morally-philosophical and religious grounds, because he is a vegetarian, but was being fed meat and meat products in the kindergarten.
She demanded that the kindergarten headmaster lets her son bring and eat food she prepared for him, instead of the kindergarten fare. Her motive is that she has the exclusive right to decide on her child's food regimen and the headmaster's refusal constitutes discrimination.
The DPC ruled in favour of the headmaster and reasoned that the bringing of home made food could jeopardize the health of other children, because there is no food safety control . The members of the commission also pointed out that if everyone was getting only the food, corresponding to their personal beliefs, this would increase the price of the service and would have a negative effect on the education process.

How To Cope With Your Drunk Partner (& Save The Relationship)
How To Cope With Your Drunk Partner (& Save The Relationship)
How To Cope With Your Drunk Partner (& Save The Relationship)
Most of us will come across people who are drinking too much in social situations. And to be fair, who hasn't — from time to time — had one (or three) too many drinks at their own birthday party? The summer season is nearly upon us. It's time for holiday celebrations and barbecues at which keeping the wine and beer flowing is part of being hospitable.
For some of us, however, this season highlights a much more commonplace and personal issue because our close relationships are already overshadowed by the spectre of problem drinking. We view celebrations with growing dread as they provide our problem drinker with what they consider to be a legitimate excuse for excess.
The following is a quick guide to managing drunken behaviour wisely and minimizing its destructive impact. If you are out at a social occasion try to remember that if your partner is behaving atrociously, he/she is embarrassing him/herself — not you. Don't give yourself a hard time if you decide to leave early, take the car and leave your partner some money for a taxi home later. It's simply putting up a boundary which is a very wise thing to do.
However, the real problems accelerate behind closed doors. Your drunk partner enters the house where social norms no longer demand his/her natural restraint and the real problems begin. So what do you do? As a relationship expert, here's my advice:
Avoid Confrontation In The Moment
This is hard, particularly if you are in close relationship with the person who is drinking. For a start, you will be feeling understandably angry that your partner has moved to that point where the drink appears to be taking over. OK, we've all laughed at amiable, giggling drunks in our time, but the joke soon wears thin when it's your partner doing it over and over again. Amusement is quickly replaced by concern, annoyance and — if it goes on and on — a deep rage, which those who live with compulsive behaviors will really understand. At that point the temptation to sit your drunk down and give him a large piece of your mind feels almost irresistible, and it's highly likely you have done just that!
However, more often than not, it's like sticking your finger in a wasp's nest. Out come the verbal insults and twisting half-truths that sting, frustrate and offend. You may feel better for a moment, but an argument with a drunk can quickly escalate to a new level of tension, aggression and non–compliance. And even if your drinker is amiable and garrulous and wants to "talk deeply" (how often I've fallen for that one) the chances are he/she won't remember a thing in the morning. There is a time to talk things through and express how disappointed, hurt and angry you are, but not when he/she is still intoxicated! Keep reading...
