Weirdest Lost and Found Items on St. Louis Craigslist
Kati Peck | Flickr
Now that it's summer, it's super easy to misplace things while you're off having fun wearing awesome patriotic gear or watching your new favorite sport. People leave all kinds of items in weird places. A wallet here. A pair of sunglasses there. A light-up Iron Man mask with voice activation under there. You know, the usual.
But on Craigslist, nothing is "the usual." Resisting the urge to peek at the local Missed Connection postings, we took a spin through the Lost and Found section to see if we could help our dear readers locate the things they can't live without. We knew there would be many wayward cats and dogs listed (Get help finding your pet here!), but we were surprised to discover plenty of other weird stuff that St. Louisans misplace. Read on to find out if any of it's yours. (Note: all spelling, capitalization, wording and punctuation are exactly as they appear in the original ads.)

Helston shop that gave £1m to sufferers closing
Posted: January 10, 2013|
HELSTON'S Cancer Funding for Cornwall shop is to close at the end of this month because nobody is willing to run it.
Margaret Fitter, who set up the shop 12 years ago, has, with colleagues and supporters, paid out more than £1 million to people with serious illness since 1989.
She said she was "so upset" to be forced to decide to close after thousands of people had been helped by the money donated over the years.
But, despite their best efforts, she and supporters could not get anyone to take over from her as administrator.
Now aged 74, she is having to give up for health reasons.
The need for a new voluntary administrator was publicised in local media and countywide. Healthcare professionals were also approached, but to no avail.
"The shop will close on January 31," she said.
"I couldn't get anyone to take over as administrator. Because it is a voluntary position, no one wants to do it.
"We have spoken to our personal contacts, we have really, really tried."
Closure will also mean the loss of ten part-time jobs and eight voluntary posts.
The shop is also one of the most prominent in Helston's Coinagehall Street.
However, the work of the Cancer Funding for Cornwall Trust will continue.
"We want to make it quite clear we are still able to give financial assistance to cancer patients in Cornwall and will continue to do as long as people make cash donations." She said people would still be able to request help by talking to their healthcare professionals.
Mrs Fitter is a former Marie Curie nursing auxiliary and it was seeing the effect cancer had on people and their families which prompted her to start fundraising in 1989.
She also paid tribute to the local community's "generosity", her family, staff and customers and landlord, David Martin.
"It is due to his phenomenal support and generosity that the charity has been the success it has been."
And she thanked local businesses Olivers, Dobles, Flambards, Clark's, Scorses, the Lizard 2000 charity and the West Briton.

Australian Competition and Consumer Commission chairman Rod Sims has used Google's recent High Court win against the regulator as an example of court action that ultimately changed behaviour.
"While I do understand the media's desire to report in a 'winner takes all' way, this is not how we see it," Sims told the National Press Club today.
The ACCC court action against Google began in 2007, with the ACCC arguing the search giant was engaging in misleading and deceptive conduct by returning advertisements for one company when a search engine query for its competitor was entered.
The ACCC lost the case on appeal in February, when the High Court ruled that Google did not create the sponsored links that it published or displayed.
Sims argued while the ACCC may have lost the case, it did change the two types of behaviour Google was engaging in that caused the regulator to institute the proceedings in the first place.
Google claims it now responds to requests to remove content that breaches its policies, ultimately allowing companies to protect their brands from being hijacked.
"Instituting proceedings follows extensive investigation, very careful consideration and, as I have said, legal advice that we have reasonable grounds to institute proceedings," Sims said.
"When taking a case, or even if we lose a case, often messages are sent and behaviour can change."
Sims added that the regulator would be too conservative if it always won enforcement legislation.
"We must take cases where we win and sometimes where we don't," he said.

Press release from Marketwire
Petrobank Reports Q3 2012 Financial and Operating Results
Monday, November 12, 2012
Petrobank Reports Q3 2012 Financial and Operating Results15:46 EST Monday, November 12, 2012CALGARY, ALBERTA--(Marketwire - Nov. 12, 2012) - Petrobank Energy and Resources Ltd. (TSX:PBG) announces our 2012 third quarter financial and operating results highlighted by funds flow from operations of $1.19 per diluted share.Petrobank's results include the financial and operating results of PetroBakken Energy Ltd. (TSX:PBN), 57% owned by Petrobank at September 30, 2012. PetroBakken announced third quarter financial and operating results on November 7, 2012. This news release includes forward-looking statements and information within the meaning of applicable securities laws. Readers are advised to review "Forward-Looking Information and Statements" at the conclusion of this news release. Readers are also referred to "Non-GAAP Measures" at the end of this news release for information regarding the presentation of the financial information in this news release. A full copy of our 2012 Third Quarter Financial Statements and MD&A have been filed on our website at www.petrobank.com and under our profile on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.In this report, quarterly comparisons are third quarter 2012 compared to third quarter 2011 unless otherwise noted. All financial figures are unaudited and in Canadian dollars ($) unless otherwise noted.HIGHLIGHTSQ3 2012 Financial and Operating HighlightsFunds flow from operations decreased 19 percent from the third quarter of 2011 to $119.6 million, or $1.19 per diluted share, primarily as a result of lower realized commodity prices, as light oil differentials to WTI were wider than historical levels. PetroBakken's third quarter production averaged 38,503 barrels of oil equivalent per day ("boepd") (82% light oil and liquids), relatively flat over the third quarter of 2011, due primarily to the disposition of producing assets in the first half of 2012 and a delayed start to the second half 2012 capital program. PetroBakken's nine month production averaged 41,303 boepd, a 7% increase over the same period in 2011. Capital expenditures before dispositions totalled $292.7 million in the third quarter with PetroBakken drilling 82 net wells. Production from Petrobank's Kerrobert project averaged 305 barrels of upgraded THAI(R) oil per day ("bopd") in Q3 2012, an increase from 236 bopd in Q2 2012. In mid-September, we renewed our Normal Course Issuer Bid ("NCIB") and can repurchase and cancel up to 7,784,304 Petrobank shares until September 13, 2013. Under this NCIB and through our Automatic Share Repurchase and PetroBakken Share Sale Plan, we have repurchased 3.5 million Petrobank shares and sold an equivalent number of PetroBakken shares through to October 31, 2012. The sale of one PetroBakken share for each Petrobank share repurchased under this plan resulted in net cash proceeds to Petrobank of $1.1 million. On October 29, 2012, Petrobank and PetroBakken entered into an agreement to complete a corporate reorganization that will see Petrobank shareholders effectively receive Petrobank's proportionate interest in our PetroBakken share holdings while maintaining their interest in the remaining Petrobank assets (the "Reorganization"). A joint information circular describing the Reorganization is expected to be mailed to shareholders in mid-November for a shareholder vote in mid-December. Subject to approval of shareholders of both Companies and other standard approvals, the Reorganization will be effective December 31, 2012.LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCESPetrobank and PetroBakken manage their capital structure independently, generate their own cash flows and have the ability to fund their operations through the issuance of secured and unsecured debt as well as equity financing. Petrobank's capital resources are focused on funding corporate and Heavy Oil Business Unit expenditures. At September 30, 2012, on a standalone basis independent of PetroBakken, Petrobank's HBU and Corporate operating segment had cash and cash equivalents of $96.1 million and a net working capital surplus (including cash) of $84.9 million. Based on Petrobank's current ownership and PetroBakken's current annual dividend of $0.96 per PetroBakken share, Petrobank expects to receive approximately $8.5 million of dividends per month. PetroBakken instituted a DRIP in early 2012, which allows shareholders to reinvest monthly cash dividends in new shares at a five percent discount to the then current market price. Due to Petrobank's significant positive working capital balance, we elected to participate at a 100% level in PetroBakken's DRIP starting with the March dividend. We believe that receiving additional shares in PetroBakken is an attractive investment at this time. We anticipate that we will receive the October and November PetroBakken dividends in PetroBakken shares through the DRIP and the December dividend (payable in January 2013) in cash.Petrobank currently expects to fund our future working capital requirements and HBU capital expenditure program with available cash and cash from operations.PETROBANK AND PETROBAKKEN REORGANIZATIONOn October 29, 2012, PetroBakken and Petrobank entered into an arrangement agreement that will see Petrobank shareholders receive Petrobank's proportionate interest in PetroBakken (the "Reorganization"). Pursuant to the Reorganization, a new Alberta corporation will be formed ("New Petrobank") which will acquire all of the existing assets and liabilities of Petrobank, including THAI® and related technologies, but excluding Petrobank's ownership interest in PetroBakken shares, and existing shareholders of Petrobank will receive one share of New Petrobank for each Petrobank share held. Following this distribution of Petrobank's heavy oil business to New Petrobank, Petrobank and PetroBakken will, through a series of transactions, amalgamate, with the resulting company to continue under the name "PetroBakken Energy Ltd." ("New PetroBakken"). Existing PetroBakken shareholders will receive one share of New PetroBakken for every share of PetroBakken held prior to the Reorganization and Petrobank shareholders will receive, in aggregate, a number of New PetroBakken shares equal to the number of PetroBakken shares held by Petrobank immediately prior to the Reorganization, being approximately 1.06 to 1.10 New PetroBakken shares for each Petrobank share held. The number of shares outstanding in New PetroBakken will be the same as the number of shares outstanding in PetroBakken immediately prior to the Reorganization. The Reorganization will not result in any changes to the business of Petrobank or our existing Board and senior management. The Reorganization is subject to the approval of the shareholders of each of Petrobank and PetroBakken.

The Company operates high-impact projects through two business units and a technology subsidiary. Petrobank's 57% owned TSX-listed subsidiary, PetroBakken Energy Ltd. (TSX:PBN), is an oil and gas exploration and production company combining light oil Bakken and Cardium resource plays with conventional light oil assets. Whitesands Insitu Partnership, a partnership between Petrobank and its wholly-owned subsidiary Whitesands Insitu Inc., applies Petrobank's patented THAI® heavy oil recovery process in the field. THAI® is an evolutionary in-situ combustion technology for the recovery of bitumen and heavy oil. THAI® and CAPRI® are registered trademarks of Archon Technologies Ltd., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Petrobank Energy and Resources Ltd., for specialized methods for recovery of oil from subterranean formations through in-situ combustion techniques and methodologies with or without upgrading catalysts. Used under license by Petrobank Energy and Resources Ltd.Non-GAAP Measures. This press release contains financial terms that are not considered measures under IFRS, such as funds flow from operations, adjusted net income, funds flow per share, adjusted net income per share, operating netback and capital expenditures. These measures are commonly utilized in the oil and gas industry and are considered informative for management and stakeholders. Specifically, funds flow from operations reflects cash generated from operating activities before changes in non-cash working capital. Adjusted net income is determined by adding back any losses or deducting any gains on the derivative liabilities, adding back any losses or deducting any gains on settlement of convertible debentures, and adding back impairments. Management considers funds flow from operations, funds flow per share, adjusted net income, and adjusted net income per share important as it helps evaluate performance and demonstrate the ability to generate sufficient cash to fund future growth opportunities. Profitability relative to commodity prices per unit of production is demonstrated by an operating netback. Operating netback reflects revenues less royalties, transportation costs, and production expenses divided by production for the period. Capital expenditures represent expenditures on property, plant and equipment, exploration and evaluation expenditures and other expenditures. Funds flow from operations, funds flow per share, adjusted net income, adjusted net income per share, operating netbacks, and net capital expenditures may not be comparable to those reported by other companies nor should they be viewed as an alternative to cash flow from operations or other measures of financial performance calculated in accordance with IFRS. Further information in respect of these non-GAAP measures is set forth in our MD&A.Forward-Looking Statements:Certain information provided in this press release constitutes forward-looking statements. Specifically, this press release contains forward-looking statements relating to financial results, results from operations, the timing of certain projects, timing for the Reorganization and anticipated sources of available financing. Forward-looking statements are necessarily based on a number of assumptions and judgments, including but not limited to, assumptions relating to the outlook for commodity and capital markets, the success of future resource evaluation and development activities, the successful application of our technology, the performance of producing wells and reservoirs, well development and operating performance, general economic conditions, weather and the regulatory and legal environment. The reader is cautioned that assumptions used in the preparation of such information, although considered reasonable at the time of preparation, may prove to be incorrect. Actual results achieved during the forecast period will vary from the information provided herein as a result of numerous known and unknown risks and uncertainties and other factors. You can find a discussion of those risks and uncertainties in our Canadian securities filings. Such factors include, but are not limited to: general economic, market and business conditions; weather conditions and access to our properties; fluctuations in oil prices; the results of exploration and development drilling, recompletions and related activities; timing and rig availability; outcome of exploration contract negotiations; fluctuation in foreign currency exchange rates; the uncertainty of reserve estimates; changes in environmental and other regulations; uncertainties associated with the regulatory review and approval process in respect to our projects; risks associated with the application of early stage technology; risks associated with oil and gas operations; and other factors, many of which are beyond the control of the Company. There is no representation by Petrobank that actual results achieved during the forecast period will be the same in whole or in part as those forecasted. Except as may be required by applicable securities laws, Petrobank assumes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements made herein or otherwise, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.Natural gas volumes have been converted to barrels of oil equivalent ("boe"). Six thousand cubic feet ("Mcf") of natural gas is equal to one barrel of oil equivalent based on an energy equivalency conversion method primarily attributable at the burner tip and does not represent a value equivalency at the wellhead. Boes may be misleading, especially if used in isolation.FOR FURTHER INFORMATION PLEASE CONTACT: Contact Information: Petrobank Energy and Resources Ltd.John D.

Antonio Cassano's recovery from heart surgery continues to progress, as today saw him rejoin his Milan teammates for regular training.
Cassano has been out of action since late October, when he suffered a mini stroke upon returning from the Rossoneri's League game at Roma. Tests revealed a rare heart condition that required surgery and since, a lengthy recovery process.
Mid-January saw the 29-year-old passed fit to resume training, whilst just last week Adriano Galliani spoke of the 'good news' he anticipated in relation to the player.
That appears to be Cassano's return to the main group today at Milanello, where he took part in regular drills with his teammates for the first time since his operation.

Option "RegistryDwords" "PowerMizerLevel=0x3"
Powerlevelsrc 0x3333 0x3322 in my xorg.conf i have tried in my boot/loader.conf i have even tried editing the driver source code src/nv-reg.h and adding the dwords inside the driver and recompiling. Nothing will move this thing past powermizer level 1 out of 3. (trying other nvidia driver versions actually made it run in power level 0 which is worse)
I hope there is an update that fixes this soon.
I would like to thank Nvidia for supporting freebsd.

The Vampire Diaries
Vampire Diaries Spoilers For Season 4, Episode 10: Elena Explains Why She Slept With Damon: "I'm in Love With Him"
Secrets, secrets are no fun, but their fallout can really hurt someone. Stefan (Paul Wesley) learned about Elena (Nina Dobrev) and Damon (Ian Somerhalder) in the last episode of The Vampire Diaries and he's not handling it well.
In a sneak peek for Season 4, Episode 10, "After School Special," the high school vampire is locked in detention with his ex, and it's the perfect opportunity for a broken heart to heart. From the video, it looks like Elena is done keeping secrets.
"I didn't sleep with Damon because of the sire bond; I slept with Damon because I'm in love with him," Elena says matter of factly. Cut to a shot of Stefan — though it's not clear if he overheard her proclamation. Later, he asks Elena, "How many more ways can you rip my heart out?"
We don't know, but it looks like Tyler (Michael Trevino) is looking to rip something else to shreds: Klaus (Joseph Morgan). The un-sired hybrid can turn his werewolf side on at will, and Rebekah (Claire Holt) wants him to use it to destroy Klaus. Vengeance is a dish best served blond.
It appears Tyler does transform, so let's hope none of our favorite vampires get caught in his jaws!

Pirelli wants a new Formula 1 deal, as the sport's sole tyre supplier, to be signed and sealed within the next three months.
This is the claim of Germany's Auto Motor und Sport, referring to the Italian marque's soon to expire three-year contract as the sport's official supplier.
When launching the new F1 tyre range for 2013 this week, Pirelli chief Marco Tronchetti Provera confirmed that the marque wants to continue the "adventure" beyond this year.
AM&S said that he wants the answer by April.
"We need to know what's going to happen," motor sport director Paul Hembery confirmed.
"It's also important for the teams because so much is changing in 2014," he added.
Indeed, with the switch to turbo V6 engines, the downforce centrepoint and weight of the cars is changing significantly, as is the torque that will be put through the rear tyres. (GMM)

March 16 1926.
LQJ. ARMS CONTAINER .FOR FOLDED TISSUE TOILET PAPER Filed April 14. 1924 577,094 {PATENT IIELANLD if. ARMS, OF SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA, ASSIGN'OR TO B. C. PELL, JR., OF
Application filed April 14, 1924. Serial No. 706,516.
To aZZ whom it may co rwer n:
Be it known'that I, LELAND J. ARMS, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of San Francisco, county of San Francisco,
' State of California, have invented a new and useful Container for Folded Tissue Toilet Paper, of which the following is a specification.
The present invention relates to improvel0 ments in containers for folded tissue toilet paper and is an improvement on the device described in my United States Patent No. 1,459,275. The principal idea in the latter patent was to facilitate and to make more sanitary the commercial handling of the said paper' by providing a permanent fixture to be attached to the wall of the lavatory and to provide cartons to be filled by the manufacturer with the tissue paper and to be sold in the market in that form, the box and the permanent fixture being formedto allow of the dispensing of the tissue paper by withdrawing the same through registering slots in the carton and the permanent fixture. v It is the object of the present invention to show a further improvement in this combination by means of which the withdrawal of the tissue paper is facilitated. Further objects and advantages of my device will appear as the specification proceeds.
The preferred form of my invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawing, in which Figure 1 shows a perspective view of the whole arrangement, Figure 2 a rear view- 3 of the permanent fixture, Figure 3 a vertical section through the same taken along line HT TH of Figure 2 with the carton inserted in the fixture, and Figure 4 a side view of the carton on a reduced scale. While I have shown only the preferred form of the invention, I wish to have it understood that various changes or modifications may be made within the scope of the claims hereto attached without departing from the spirit of the invention.-
f The permanent fixture (1) is preferably made-in the form of a rectangular box and may consist oftwo parts (2) and (3), the part (2) forming the rear (4) of the box and a section (6) of the bottom, while the other'part forms the front (7 of the box, the two sides (8) and a second section (9) of the bottom, with the two sections of the bottom arranged to leave a central slot (11) m The two sides are preferably provided with flanges (12) adapted to be turned over the rear of the box and to be secured thereto. The carton (13) for the interfolded tissue toilet paper is made of the same form as the box andis slightly smaller in dimension so that it may be slipped into the box. It is also provided with a central slot (14) in the ][bottom registering with the slot (11) in the The structure thus far described does not essentially differ from that shown in the patent previously mentioned.
If both the bottoms of the carton and of the permanent fixture are made fiat and parallel the friction occasioned by the provision of a rigid bottom under the flexible bottom of the carton renders the withdrawal of the paper somewhat difficult and to overcome this difiiculty I now propose to arrange the two sections (6) and (9) of the bottom in such a manner that they slope downwardly toward the slot (11) thereby allowing the bottom of the carton, which is made straight, to slightly yield and play while the paper is being withdrawn.
I further provide confronting marginal flanges (16) extending downwardly from the edges of the slot and pfeferably slanting toward one another in the manner shown in Figure 3. These flanges serve the purpose of guiding the paper and are provided with central recesses (17) allowing the paper to be gripped by means of the thumb andthe finger, and the recesses preferably extend into the body portions of the. two sections (6) and (9) as shownat (18). Recesses (19) are further provided in the sides of the box adjacent the slot and in registry with recesses (21) in the carton, both sets of recesses being arranged to facilitate the starting of the first sheet of paper.
To further facilitate the withdrawal of the toilet paper from the carton I apply a suitable friction-reducing agent such as wax to the top face of the bottom of the carton.
The advantages of this construction will be readily understood from the foregoing description. The carton with the toilet paper therein is sold in the market and bought b the'user', who places the same into the box orming a permanent fixture of his lavatory so that the paper itself does not fixture.
.The two recesses (19) and (21) m the require handling after the same leaves the sides of the carton and the box allow the :iirei' paper to be readily startecL preiferaiiiy WiiJh the aid 035 a pencil or similar cievice anybody may find in his pocket. After the oi i of the first piece of paper is guided omgh the eioirs in ihe bottom it may be y Wi'tiiriravrii due to the ii act that Hie (HIM oi the rarton may yield on account iiie sloping iorn'iarioi'i of "the bottom oi Hie More.
The flanges; (M) will guide the sec-mid piece of paper so ihat it may be readily gripped through Hm recesses; (111') and (18). The application of the friction-reducing agen'i, such as "war, in the bottom of the carton further iarilii'ai'es the Withdrawal oi the individual pieces of paper.
i oiaim:
A box for interfolded tissue toilet marrow paper having a bottom formed with a ceptrzi sioir allowing; the paper to be Withdrawn timetiiroiigh with flat confronting flanges diponifiing from i111 margins of the sioi; iii the box for gi the paper and central registering recess formed 11'), the or fai'ziiitating manipulation of paper. 1 .i Mn: for interfm jlrd tiEESUw ilfliiiiet paper having a bottom iormed with a central aloit allowingflie paper to be Withdrawn flieretiirough with Fiat confronting flanges; depending from the margins of the siot in ihe box for guiding; the paper and ventral registering recess-es formed in the flanges for facilitating the manipulation of the papen the said recesses extending into the opposing body portions's of the bottom.

Michigan Moviegoer Sues Over High Snack Prices
By editor
Originally published on Fri March 9, 2012 8:51 am
Good morning. I'm Renee Montagne. Joshua Thompson is a big moviegoer, but high prices at the concession stand left a bad taste in his mouth. So after paying $8 for a Coke and a box of Goobers, Thompson filed a class action lawsuit. It accuses Michigan's AMC Theaters of charging grossly excessive prices for snacks. Consumer lawyers told the Detroit Free Press the lawsuit will likely be a flop, but moviegoers are applauding. It's MORNING EDITION. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright National Public Radio.

The more we learn about the National Intelligence Estimate on Iran, the less "confidence" we can have in its sanguine findings about the state of Iran's nuclear program.
Today comes news that Israel, one of America's closest collaborators in intelligence-gathering in the Middle East, has reached very different conclusions. Haaretz quotes Ehud Barak, Israel's former prime minister and now defense minister (and hardly a hawk), as follows:
"It seems Iran in 2003 halted for a certain period of time its military nuclear program but as far as we know it has probably since revived it."
His comments go to one of the key weaknesses of the NIE. While it claims with "high confidence" that Iran suspended its nuclear-weapons work in 2003, the report offers only "moderate confidence" that this program has not been resumed.
Some will no doubt dismiss Israeli officials as being alarmist, although they have a larger stake—a life and death stake—than do American intelligence analysts in figuring out the state of Iran's nuclear program.
Harder to dismiss are concerns from the International Atomic Energy Agency, which has long been criticized for being relatively soft on Iran and other proliferators. While Mohamed ElBaradei, the head of the IAEA, greeted the release of the NIE with a "sigh of relief," others who are involved in his agency's work are apparently taking a more cautious attitude. The New York Times reports:
"To be frank, we are more skeptical," a senior official close to the agency said. "We don't buy the American analysis 100 percent. We are not that generous with Iran." The official called the American assertion that Iran had "halted" its weapons program in 2003 "somewhat surprising."
When even some at the IAEA think the U.S. intelligence community is being too generous in its assessment of Iran, that should be cause for serious concern.
And, indeed, whether Iran has restarted its "nuclear weapons program" since 2003 or not, the fact remains that its supposedly "civilian" enrichment work could easily produce a bomb. Indeed, as this New York Times article notes,
After the United States, the Soviet Union, and Britain became the first three countries with atom bombs, all the rest hid their military programs to one extent or another behind the mask of peaceful nuclear power. That includes France, China, Israel, India, South Africa, and Pakistan.
A number of experts have even raised the possibility that Iran may have suspended its "nuclear weapons" work in 2003 because it had already come up with a working bomb design, and now only needs to produce enough highly enriched uranium to create a working bomb. The hardest part of making a nuclear weapon is not the design and production of the warhead; it is the production or procurement of the fissile material. It is quite possible that A.Q. Khan, the rogue Pakistani nuclear scientist, may have provided Iran with a working bomb design. Or perhaps the Iranians have gotten what they need from their friends in North Korea, who were also beneficiaries of the A.Q. Khan network.
Whatever the case, the news, even if accurate, that Iran suspended its "nuclear weapon" work in 2003 is hardly cause for celebration. Unfortunately the NIE's political impact is out of all proportion to its analytical rigor. It will now be harder than ever to get tough international sanctions on Iran.
As noted by CNN, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is claiming "victory," declaring that "the report said clearly that the Iranian people were on the right course" and that "Iran has turned to a nuclear country and all world countries have accepted this fact." Much as I would like to think that Ahmadinejad is wrong, in this case I think he has a point.

Which Works Better? Love or Fear?
Dear Mr Amirault,
I appologize if my letters seem argumentative. Your writting had brought much peace clarity and I now consider myself a universalist
I believe all will be saved in the end
a bit of my history
i was a hard chore drug addict for fifteen plus years
also suffer from an eating disorder
was raised by a Jehovah witness grandmother who taught me of a angry GOD
during my fifteen years of being a junkie i tried religion many times to save me from drugs but it did not work -For three years i was a memeber of a bible study group while abusing pills but GOD was merciful as I was given a chance to teach and preach though i was as far from perfect as any person can be in 2004 Jesus worked a miracle whereby i did not use any drugs or alcohol for four years than i had a six month relapse but I repented and again the love of GOD works a miracle
i said all that to say because my addictions tear me to pieces and cuz GOD loves me enough to correct me my idea of GOD has changed and GOD lead me to your web site
I Love your articles and the Holy Spirit opens my eyes and my love for GOD grows
the more I know His Love the less do i sin and the more do I do what is right
thank you for being a vessel for our God's Love
When I was young, before studying the scriptures I always believed God loved me no matter what. I always felt safe and secure with knowing He was a God of love. I miss that child-like faith and pray that it returns to me. Anyway, when I became 25 years old I got curious about God and my grandmother sent me a booklet on how to get saved. When I read it, it was like being hit with a ton of bricks. It basically gave the traditional steps for salvation and said that I had to do it if I didn't want to spend an eternity in hell. I remember that day well because my heart broke. I already thought that I WAS saved in the sense that i would be with God when I died. Didn't have a clue the steps to salvation. I was soooo mad at God (and afraid of Him at the same time) because if, -- what that pamphlet said was true, then if I would've died before knowing this- I would've went to HELL! I felt soooo betrayed and hurt and scared. I cried for weeks.
My husband got upset with me and told me not to read the bible anymore. But I did. And when I would, I would just get so scared and angry with God. I tried to live for Him, but I couldn't trust Him with hell hanging over my head. To shorten this story, I had a nervous breakdown. I couldn't get it out of my mind, couldn't focus on daily living activities. I literally went nuts.
Then I came into contact with a Jehovah Witness, which at the time, was a HUGE shimmer of hope because they teach annihilation. Still brokenhearted, but thought I could live my life somewhat back into reality. Eternal Death (what they teach is the second death was still better than HELL). Empty and sad, but better than eternal agony inflicted by a monster of a God.
I did a bible study with her about annihilation. The scriptures she showed me about Jesus referring to Gehenna fire and prophesies in the old testament( Malachi, Jer., and Isaiah all seemed to fit with what Jesus said would happen to sinners in the garbage dump, and the bodies would be on the earth and the fire was never quenched and their worm dieth not( which they taught me just meant it would burn until God's purpose of destruction was complete and the worms were a symbol of that destruction-maggots eating the carcasses. And the second death seemed to fit in with it. They related everything Jesus said about Gehenna Fire back to past destruction of people and cities and it all used the same symbolism. Even the scriptures of the N.T. about the earth being on fire and Sodom and Gomorrah being examples of what will happen to unrepentant sinners. I don't know how to fit those into the scheme of God's plan for all. I need your insight on what you believe these scriptures to mean. I have been reading all kinds of written work on the Universal Salvation of All, so I am quite familiar with how words got mistranslated,(like the ages ,destroy, perish etc.) I've read "God's Plan For All", "Hope Beyond Hell", and more. But none of them have answered these scriptures that are my stumbling block. I have spent most of my waking hours studying Universal reconciliation because I want to believe it sooo bad. It's the only way that I can feel that God is really and truly loving and it's the only way I can trust Him. The scriptures on universal reconciliation are so overwhelming, that for periods of time I have felt an overwhelming peace. But then those scriptures that Jesus said referring to Gehenna Fire(garbage dump for dead criminals) and ideas pop back into my head. I feel lost because I cannot go on with my walk with the Lord if my mind is divided as to what His plans are. I wish sooo bad that I never would've been taught the annihilation doctrine. I know that you are busy and if you don't have time to respond I understand but I am desperate. The reason that I am asking you is because I have read one of your articles "Eternal Death: One Step Out of Hell, One Step short of Glory". And in it you stated that you have been in all three groups, so I feel that you can help me. My question/questions are:
Do you know when Malachi 4:1-3 takes place? Or Isaiah 66:27-24? Please read these scriptures, then tell me what you think. Are these prophecies that Jesus was referring to when He spoke of the Gehenna Fire? Do you believe that maybe there is an "Age in between when these people are killed upon the earth and maybe they are resurrected again before the New Earth? I don't know. I'm about to give up. God feels REALLY far away to me right now and I just want some peace. Do you have any literature explaining any of these for me? My heart would be forever grateful. I would be sooooooooo much appreciative of any insight you could give me. Thank you, Gary. I REALLY hope and pray that the person who received this email has passed this on to you. Thank you!!!!!!! Carla
(Such is the fruit of the traditional church gospel. There are millions like her. You probably know some of them, but they hide their fears and tears. They are afraid to let those feelings out in fear that they may have to spend eternity in fiery flames ir get annihilated for expressing their hurts and fears.We are praying with Carla and sharing the Victorious Gospel of Jesus Christ with her expecting that she will recover from this spiritual abuse.

Graham Massey, Martin Price and Gerald Simpson (A Guy Called Gerald) formed 808 State in 1988. They recorded the legendary Newbuild for their own label Creed that is often cited as one of the greatest dance albums of all time. The line-up changed to Massey, Andy Barker and Darren Partington who went onto enjoy huge global success with albums like Excel, 808:90 and Gorgeous. They were recently cited by the two leading UK music publications Q and NME as being one of the five most important bands from Manchester. They are without doubt one of the most influential dance acts ever and their legendary tracks 'Pacific State' and 'Cübik' are ground breaking musical landmarks that have inspired a legion of acolytes.
In August of 2003, 808 State drew a crowd of 40,000 people to one of Europe's biggest free music events when they headlined a concert to close the Commonwealth Games. This concert heralded the return to form of one of Manchester's most pivotal acts. Accompanied by a stunning light and laser display, which lit up the night sky in Manchester's city centre, the band performed all their classic tracks along with previewing tunes from their new album with members of Elbow and Simian. As the band came on stage the crowd erupted and the police had to seal off the centre to stop overcrowding and beg the local radio station to stop advertising the event.

Upon arriving on scene, it was discovered that one person had been ejected from a pick-up truck, which had overturned.
The driver, identified as 31-year-old Brandon Fullbright of a Bowman, GA address, was pronounced dead at the scene due to injuries sustained during the accident.
Almond says Fullbright's vehicle left the road unexpectedly.
"All indications are that Mr. Fullbright was traveling south on Bowman Highway, and for whatever reason ran off the roadway and struck a tree", said Almond. "The striking of the tree is what caused the vehicle to overturn, which led to Fullbright being ejected."
According to Almond, the pick-up truck Fullbright was driving caught fire after the accident.
The accident investigation has been turned over to the Washington Post of the Georgia State Patrol.
More details on the story as they become available.

It's only been a few weeks since we saw the release of RU2, but on May 29th Microsoft released RU3 for Microsoft Exchange Server 2010 SP2. This latest update rollup package includes a number of important fixes for Exchange servers; 42 to be more precise, and considering 42 is the answer, this is an RU you won't want to skip.
As with all update rollups, RU3 includes all patches since the release of the service pack. They are cumulative, so if you missed out on RU1 or RU2, consider 3 a lucky number and make this the RU you test and deploy, especially if you are a Unified Messaging shop or planning on or already in a hybrid deployment with Office 365 or other hosted Exchange infrastructure.
RU3 can be downloaded from this link http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=29899 and is covered in KB 2685289. The 33MB download contains fixes for several issues with Exchange 2010. Some of the highlights include fixes for
- 2689810 Meeting Requests bodies get rendered in plain text in Outlook when created via Exchange Web Services.
- 2700705 RpcClientAccess crashes with SocketException when UDP push notification is enabled.
- 2705425 Memory Leak in UMWorkerProcess.exe.
- 2586828 The EdgeTransport.exe process consumes 100 percent of CPU resources on an Exchange Server 2010 Edge Transport server
- 2589233 Meeting requests bypass the requirement for delegate approval and instead book resource mailboxes automatically in an Exchange Server 2010 environment
- 2648263 You cannot open routing log files on Exchange Server 2010 Hub Transport servers in a mixed Exchange Server 2003 and Exchange Server 2010 environment
- 2667120 MSExchangeAutodiscoverAppPool application pool crashes on an Exchange Server 2010 Client Access server when you try to view the free/busy information about a user in a trusted domain
- 2671128 RPC Client Access Cross-Site connectivity issues occur in an Exchange Server 2010 environment
- 2673591 Crash occurs in the Autodiscover application pool in an Exchange Server 2010 environment
- 2684583 You cannot delete an empty folder in a .pst file by using Outlook in an Exchange Server 2010 environment
- 2689810 A meeting request that you send from an EWS application is in plain text format instead of HTML format when an attendee opens the request by using Outlook in online mode
- 2695011 Junk Email settings do not work as expected after you migrate or move a mailbox to an Exchange Server 2010 SP1 Mailbox server
- 2695022 The E-mail Signature text box is not editable in Outlook Web App when you use Google Chrome in an Exchange Server 2010 environment
- 2695836 You cannot move a mailbox in an Exchange Server 2010 environment that has a message size limit configured
- 2698927 Resource mailbox that has AutoAccept configured does not process a meeting request that contains custom code or script in Exchange Server 2010
- 2698960 You cannot move some users' mailboxes from one Exchange Server 2010 mailbox database to another
- 2699582 Error message when you play a voice mail by using Outlook 2007 in an Exchange Server 2010 environment
- 2705425 UMWorkerProcess.exe consumes large amounts of memory when you try to listen to voice messages by using Outlook Voice Access in an Exchange Server 2010 environment
- 2705555 The Set-Mailbox cmdlet takes a long time to complete configuration in an Exchange Server 2010 environment
- 2705647 A user cannot log on to a mailbox that is full by using Outlook Web App in an Exchange Server 2010 environment
As with previous RUs and Service Packs, follow the normal deployment order of:
- Client Access Servers (all servers in a CAS array consecutively)
- Hub Transport Servers
- Unified Messaging Servers
- Mailbox Servers
- Edge Transport Servers (which can actually be done whenever, but it makes sense to leave them to last just for consistency).
Again, I recommend launching the update with the following syntax to create a full log of the install.
Exchange2010-KB2685289-x64-en.msp /lvx pathtologfile.txt [enter]
And just like previous RUs, there are some special considerations for the following.
Mailbox servers in DAGs
Exchange 2010 SP2 servers with the mailbox role that participate in Database Availability Groups (DAGs) will not detect this update as available when running Windows Update. You will need to manually deploy this update to those servers.
CRL Checking
As is usual for Update Rollups, should you have an Exchange server without Internet access, you will likely experience very long installation times as the server tries to check the Certificate Revocation List for the .Net assemblies. You can avoid this issue by setting Internet Explorer so that it doesn't check for certificates that have been revoked. To do this, follow these steps:
- In Internet Explorer, select Tools, select Internet Options, and then click the Advanced Tab.
- In the Security section, click to clear the Check for publisher's certificate revocation check box.
- Click OK to close the Internet Options dialog box.
OWA Customizations
If you have implemented any customizations for Outlook Web App, such as altering the logon.aspx or other pages, installing RU2 will overwrite these files. Make a backup of them first, and you can then replace the custom files after the update is complete.
CAS-CAS Proxying
As with previous updates, users of CAS-CAS proxy setups will want to patch the Internet facing CAS servers before you patch the internal ones.
While I will always recommend that customers stay current on their patching, UM and hybrid customers really do want to deploy this rollup patch. The fixes for both Unified Messaging and mailbox moves make this an important update for everyone.

Recipe by CARAMOMMY
"This is a unique and delicious spinach salad with Granny Smith apples, walnuts, and Cheddar cheese. One of our family's favorites!"
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

12 ounces
baby spinach leaves
Granny Smith apples, cored and sliced
8 ounces
Cheddar cheese, cubed
1/2 cup
chopped walnuts
1/4 cup
apple cider vinegar
1/4 cup
maple syrup
1/4 cup
olive oil
Delicious - perfect for a quick and easy lunch! I used a combination of baby spinach leaves and romaine lettuce. I also used a combination of Granny Smith and Red Delicious apples for added color and flavor. I toasted my walnuts before tossing them into the salad and used "Maple-Balsamic Vinaigrette" from this site. Overall, very good.
Thought this salad was rather bland and didn't much care for the dressing. I liked the idea of blending spinach with apples...next time I might try pears instead, add red onion and use a raspberry vinaigrette in place of the maple/cider vinegar/olive oil concoction.
34 Ratings
I am not a salad person, but I LOVE this salad! You might try serving the cheese, nuts, and apples on the side, because they all fall to the bottom of the serving bowl.
This was very good a nice change of pace. Since I'm low carb, I made raspberry vinaigrette to use instead of the maple syrup. The apples and spinach worked very well together. The walnuts added a nice crunch also. I think I'll use a different cheese than cheddar next time. I like goat cheese or Feta in salads.
I will give this 10 stars! One of the best tasting, simplest salads ever!
An excellent fall salad. I couldn't think of a better way to serve spinach.
An interesting flavor combination.. very tasty and tangy! I used Red Delicious apples and shredded cheese because it's what I had on hand. I think I may omit the cheese next time because I don't think it's necessary and just adds fat and calories. A great way to get spinach in your diet.. along with Jerry Lynne's Spinach and Strawberry Salad from this site.
When I do not have spinach I will use romaine which works just as well. I have added thinly sliced red onion and some crumbled bacon for a touch of saltly flavor. The dressing is so easy!

Carolyn Stewart had a great day in the pool for XU.
Nov. 2, 2013
CINCINNATI - Xavier women's swimming team dropped a dual meet with Bowling Green at O'Connor Sports Center on Saturday afternoon. Carolyn Stewart led the way for Xavier, picking up a pair of victories.
"It was great to get them back into competition after a week off last week," said head coach Brent MacDonald. " We had the opportunity to put into place things that we had been working on and, for the most part, we did a great job of it. To see some of our girls get up and swim with a great BGSU squad was pleasing."
Mackenna Rife got things started for Xavier with a victory in the 1000 free. She posted a time of 10:49.01. Emily Wagner touched in second place with a time of 10:51.72, giving XU the top two finishes in the event. Rife (5:16.77) later added a second-place finish in the 500 free.
The 100 back was also dominated by the Musketeers with Stewart and Jacquelyn Misanik finishing one-two, respectively. Stewart led with a time of 59.24 and Misanik was close behind at 1:00.27.
Sarah Stone (2:14.26) put pressure on Bowling Green in the 200 fly, but was out-touched and finished second by just over a tenth of a second. In the very next race, Maddie Day (24.96) won the 50 free.
Stewart showed her strength in the backstroke events, winning the 200 back by over two seconds with a time of 2:08.91.
Xavier will be back in the pool on Friday, Nov. 8 with a dual meet against Tiffin at 5:30 p.m. Both the men's and women's squads will participate.

Scholar Who Sued James Joyce's Estate Wins Right to Quote Works in Settlement Agreement
The Boston Herald carried this Associated Press story about the settlement between the Estate of James Joyce and Carol Shloss, acting professor of English and Joycean scholar at Stanford University. The agreement enables Shloss to publish excerpts of letters between James Joyce and his daughter Lucia Joyce. In 2003, Shloss published Lucia Joyce: To Dance in the Wake about Lucia's influence over her father's novel, Finnegans Wake but Shloss had not been allowed to include important material that supports her scholarship, such as excerpts of the letters. Shloss was represented by a team from the Stanford Law School Center for Internet and Society, Cyberlaw Clinic, and Fair Use Project.
Anthony Falzone, executive director of the Fair Use Project, is quoted:
"Our client got exactly what she asked for in her complaint, and more," said Anthony Falzone, who directs the Fair Use Project at Stanford's Law School.

See at Mecum Kansas City Auction on Aprl 25th!
1952 Crosley Kiddie Fire Dept. Hook and Ladder Fire Truck
The Crosley was an U.S. automobile manufactured by Crosley Motors Incorporated intermittently from 1939 to 1952. The vehicles were offered in various shapes but only one size: "Extra Small." The cars were clearly ahead of their time and could get an amazing 50mpg on a single gallon of petro not to mention, each model was as cute as a button. This carefully restored 21 passenger 1952 Crosley Hook and Ladder Fire truck, with all its bells and whistles (literally), looks like it just rolled off the pages of a Dr Seuss cartoon book! It is believed that approximately 100 fire truck versions were constructed in the early post-WWII years (1947-1952 to be exact). Basically, it combines a Crosley vehicle in the front with a long and skinny 20′ custom built fifth wheel "hook and ladder" trailer with 2 rows of seating for the lil kiddos then adding the gold leaf lettering, and typical fire truck accessories (lights, sirens, bells, hose, and hose reels) to create these interesting miniature fire trucks to ferry kids around carnivals, amusement parks, and parades. A bit of history, many of you recognize the name Crosley from the appliances (AM radios and refrigerators most commonly) well, Crosley also built cars too and sold them right alongside the Crosley appliances in hardware stores! With reliability, durability and safety in mind, this specific example has a freshly rebuilt engine and transmission. During the rebuild of the drivetrain, this vehicle also received a new clutch and all new electrical wiring. It is like new now and turn-key ready! Sometimes referred to as Hook and Ladder or just Kiddie Fire truck or both, it is indeed rare! Hands-down, THIS is one of the nicest surviving and carefully restored Crosley Kiddie Fire Trucks on the planet! This vehicle reminds us collector automobiles are not always about horsepower and handling but also about having fun! (Plus, who doesn't need another noise toy with 20 screaming kids!)
(Note: Original miles are unknown there are only a few test miles since complete rebuild; 20 kids not included)
Features, Options Accessories:
Crosley Cast Iron Block Assembly (CIBA) 44 cubic inch , water-cooled inline 4 cylinder mini power plant

Creeping tuberculosis incidence
In recent decades, tuberculosis has not been among the irremediable diseases. Tuberculosis patients can recover by the DOT treatment diagram. However, because many patients decline to follow treatment diagram, many of them present resistance against medication.
On the occasion of the Day of World against Tuberculosis, Dr Hoang Thi Quy, director of Pham Ngoc Thach hospital talks about tuberculosis and the work fighting the disease in HCM City.
Could you say about tuberculosis situation in HCM City?
The number of tuberculosis patients is on the rise. Number of newly-contracted patients in 2004 saw an increase of 16% against 2000. The proportion of tuberculosis patients without lung disease increased from 15% in the period 1995-2000 to 21% in 2004.
Is that because we have a poor programme of fighting the tuberculosis that the incidence rate is rising?
According to assessment of officials from HCM City anti-tuberculosis programme, the increase in number of tuberculosis patients is attributed to the HIV pandemic. The report on anti-tuberculosis in Vietnam period 1997-2003 produced by the World Bank and the World Health Organisation shared the same assessment.
However, statistics indicate that the number of tuberculosis patients is on downward trend among women.
Do you have assessment on current efforts against tuberculosis in HCM City?
HCM City authority paid much attention on the works against tuberculosis. The city people's committee's instruction8on intensifying works against tuberculosis in the local area is a good example. Besides, local department of labour, invalids and social affairs, and association of vanguard youth made great efforts to discover and provide treatment for tuberculosis patients, whereby the pressure on management of patients in the communities is considerably lessened. Other social organisations support us in healthcare communication and mobilisation of people to have checks for tuberculosis.
What has HCM City done?
The resistance against medication is increasing by 1.2% in 1996 to 2.2%. This figure is not an alarming rate but the city authority expects both private and public healthcare centres to participate in the fight against tuberculosis.
What is the most difficult part in the anti-tuberculosis fight?
There are many difficulties, but now the city programme is coping with two obstacles. The number of tuberculosis patients with HIV is on upward trend but the coordination of efforts to fight against tuberculosis and HIV is not tight enough. However, to date we have yet to have remedy for those who resist against medication. So that the tuberculosis patients might face with fatality, that has bad impacts on treatment progress and the population's belief in the programme. The city programmers of the fight against tuberculosis are planning to deal with the difficulties. It is expected that until the end of 2005, there will have an integrated solution to enable to have treatment for tuberculosis in parallel with HIV.

People usually react negatively to the label: simple. It evokes a sense of naiveté and oversimplification that borders on avoidance and denial. We know the agony of being considered a simpleton. Somehow simple and simplistic have become identified, but there is a significant difference. To be simple is to model divinity. God is simple. Union with God is simple. Yet, neither is simplistic.

Yankees angry; more rehab for A-RodBy RONALD BLUM
The Associated Perss | July 27,2013AP File Photo
New York Yankees Alex Rodriguez watches from the dugout during Game 4 of the American League championship series against the Detroit Tigers in Detroit last October.NEW YORK (AP) Major League Baseball is investigating him, the Yankees are angry with him and Alex Rodriguez is miffed.
A-Rods strained relationship with his team hit another low on Thursday when he kept pushing to be activated from the disabled list and New York kept pushing back. He wound up having a lawyer join in when the sides discussed how to rehabilitate his slightly injured leg.
Already a target of Major League Baseballs drug investigation, the third baseman angered the Yankees when he obtained a second medical opinion on his strained left quadriceps this week without informing the team in writing, a step required by the sports collective bargaining agreement. The Yankees intend to discipline him, most likely with a fine.
Do you trust the Yankees? Rodriguez was asked Thursday during an interview on WFAN radio.
A-Rods answer was telling.
Um. You know, Id rather not get into that, he responded. Im just frustrated that Im not on the field tomorrow.
Sidelined since hip surgery in January, Rodriguez issued a statement saying he wanted to be activated for Fridays homestand opener against Tampa Bay. But that wasnt in the Yankees plans.
We agreed that a protocol would be followed that is necessary when you return somebody from a quad injury, general manager Brian Cashman said during a conference call with the teams beat writers. That protocol will include further treatment, which hell continue tomorrow with some light conditioning, and then expand to more functional work from the 27th through the 31st. Our hope, as well as Alexs hope, without any setbacks or new complaints, that would put him in a situation to have either a simulated game or a rehab game on Aug. 1.
A-Rod went public with his disenchantment.
Obviously Im very, very disappointed, he said. I know I can help my team. Obviously, Im frustrated but I agreed to this five-day plan, and on we go.
He repeatedly said he told the Yankees he was ready to return.
Tomorrow night would be the perfect night to come back and get in the lineup, he said.
Whether he gets back on a big league field any time soon or ever plays for the Yankees again remains to be seen.
MLB has been investigating Rodriguez as part of its probe of the closed Biogenesis clinic in Florida accused in media reports of distributing banned performance-enhancing drugs. A suspension appears likely, but Rodriguez could ask the players association to contest a drug penalty making it possible he might not have to serve any time until next year.
He is among the dozen or so players under investigation by MLB; he has said in the past that he used PEDs from 2001-03 while with Texas but maintained he has not used them since.
The Yankees intend to discipline A-Rod for seeking a second medical opinion without their permission, a person familiar with the teams deliberations said.
The exact penalty had not been determined, the person said, speaking on condition of anonymity to The Associated Press because no statements were authorized. A fine appeared to be the most likely option.
Meantime, Rodriguezs return from hip surgery has created more drama than most players experience in their entire careers.
Seemingly days away from rejoining the Yankees, Rodriguez injured a leg last weekend and was sent to New York for an MRI on Sunday. Team physician Dr. Christopher Ahmad diagnosed a grade 1 strain, the least severe level.
Dr. Michael Gross, the orthopedic director of The Sports Medicine Institute at Hackensack (N.J.) University Medical Center, was retained by Rodriguez and said on WFAN on Wednesday that he examined an MRI and could not detect an injury. Gross, who never examined Rodriguez personally, was reprimanded this year by New Jerseys board of medical examiners over steroid prescriptions, fined $30,000 and ordered to pay $10,000 in costs.
Rodriguez was re-examined Thursday by Dr. Daniel Murphy, the Yankees orthopedic surgeon in Tampa, Fla., who confirmed Ahmads diagnosis. Cashman said Murphy determined there was clearly some improvement.
Yankees President Randy Levine and Cashman got on a 15-minute conference call with Tim Lentych, the head athletic trainer at the player development complex in Tampa; Rodriguez; and Jordan Siev, co-head of the U.S. commercial litigation group at Reed Smith, a law firm used by A-Rod pal Jay-Z.
Just want to make sure that everything is documented properly, Rodriguez said.
Rodriguezs statement infuriated Yankees management, which already had told him it determines his return schedule.
I think the Yanks and I crossed signals, the three-time AL MVP said in the statement issued by spokesman Ron Berkowitz. I dont want any more mix-ups. Im excited and ready to play and help this team win a championship. I feel great and Im ready and want to be in the lineup Friday night. Enough doctors, lets play.
Rodriguez, who turns 38 Saturday, earns $153,005 each day during the season, and while he remains on the disabled list much of the money is covered by insurance.
Rodriguez has hit .250 (8 for 40) with two homers and eight RBIs in 13 minor league games. About a week before he began the injury rehab assignment on July 2, Rodriguez tweeted that the surgeon who operated on his hip gave me the best news - the green light to play games again!
Cashman memorably responded: Alex should just shut the ... up.
Rodriguez said hed like to rehab with the major league team, as captain Derek Jeter is doing as he comes back from a quadriceps injury.
But the Yankees seem to regard A-Rod as toxic.
Obviously, Im an employee, he said. I have to follow my bosses.
