Don McMillan Comes to LehighDon McMillan's Amazingly Funny Look at Engineering
Where: Packard Lab Auditorium
When: 6:00 PM, September 2, 2009
Who: Don McMillan (BS-EE, Class of '81)
Lehigh University, Sponsored by ECE Department, Lehigh University and Lehigh Valley Section, IEEE
What can you do with an Engineering degree from Lehigh? How about becoming the $100,000 Comedy Grand Champion on Star Search? How about appearing in 15 national commercials for Budweiser? How about playing an alien on Star Trek? Well, Don McMillan (Lehigh Class of '81) has done all three of these and now he's coming back to perform at Lehigh in the very auditorium that he took Engineering 1 in his Freshman year! Come catch Engineer-turned-Stand-Up-Comedian Don McMillan and his unique brand of comedy that has made him the #1 PowerPoint Comedian in the World and has landed him on the Tonight Show, HBO, and Larry King. If you want to get a sneak peek at Don, check out his website at "www.technicallyfunny.com".
Don was written up in the IEEE Spectrum over a year ago without referencing his Lehigh affiliation. After Lehigh, Don earned an MSEE degree from Stanford and established his EE credentials at Bell Labs working on microprocessors. While this presentation will have a Lehigh flavor, the only stand-up comedian that uses an Power Point is unique.

Even before the 2010 congressional races, voters will get a chance to weigh in on the performance of their states in gubernatorial races in New Jersey and Virginia. New Jersey, one of the bluest states, looks extremely problematic for Democrats.
The bad news keeps pouring in for Jon Corzine:
Governor Jon Corzine gets an average grade of C- from New Jersey residents, most of whom think that the incumbent has no major accomplishments to point to from his three years in office, according to a Monmouth University/Gannett poll released today. The Governor's approval rating is upside down, with 37% of likely voters approving and 49% disapproving. The rating is net positive only among Democrats, 53% of whom approve and 30% of whom disapprove, while it's upside down for both independents (57% disapprove) and Republicans (74% disapprove).
Even worse for Corzine, the latest poll from Strategic Vision has him trailing 53-38 percent. With Obama polling at only 50 percent in New Jersey (wow!), the president may not be able to help much.
What does this mean? Well, in one sense New Jersey is simply a referendum on a poorly performing incumbent. But to the extent that voters extrapolate from the lesson of one-party liberal rule, the result may reverberate nationally. And of course, should a Republican win a statewide race where Obama carried by a 57-42 percent margin, the pundits and public will take notice.
Given all this, one wonders just how much time and political capital Obama will spend in New Jersey. It's bad enough when your candidate loses; it's even worse if he loses after campaigning up and down the state with you.

Taxi man's anger at 'over the top' police fine in Gloucester
Posted: January 03, 2014|
TAXI driver Mohammed Islam has been left fuming after he was fined £50 for leaving his car while he bought a burger.
The 30-year-old private hire driver, who lives in St Michael's Square, said the punishment did not fit the crime when he left his engine running in Station Road in the early hours of December 29.
But police insist he was posing a major risk to public safety and said they found his unattended car facing the wrong way in a bus lane, with fog lights on.
In all, a spokesman said, he was committing three offences and could have been summonsed to court.
Instead, the officer "used his discretion" and issued the fine for the most serious of the offences, abandoning a vehicle.
Mohammed said: "I was told it was a section 201 offence because I had left my car unattended.
"I was gone for seconds. It was gone midnight and you can no longer get down Eastgate Street, where I would have gone for some food, because they close the road on Saturday night.
"I pulled up in the road and went into the Food Hut for a burger but I could see my car the whole time, there's no way I had abandoned it.
"It just seems ridiculous and heavy handed.
"If I had done something wrong, why not just tell me that and ask me not to do it again, or why not come into the Food Hut and ask?
"To get a £50 fine is really over the top."
A police spokesman said: "Leaving a vehicle unattended with the engine running on a public road is also known as quitting a vehicle and is an offence.
"While this person does not agree, the officers believed the circumstances in this case meant it was appropriate and proportionate to issue a fine."
He added: "The officer did use discretion and issued a fine for the most serious offence, which is the abandoning of the vehicle.
"This is because the car could have lurched forward or someone could have got in and driven off, causing a huge risk to public safety."

How many c-sections is too many?
I've had three c-sections. The third one took twice as long as the other two because of scar tissue. If I have another will that be too dangerous?

I am on my 5th c section and doing so well, I like most moms here will not dialate with my 1st son he was 2 weeks late and my water broke and they gave me 3 rounds of pitosen and still didnt even get to 1cm so they had to do an emergency c section after about 13 hours so that I wouldnt go into dry labor.posted 06/02/2010 by Gemini61274
I am 23 an this will be my 4th child all of them done by c-section im getting my tubs tied after this b/c my dr says after three it get dangerous b/c of all the scar tissue but all weman are diff. Just talk to your obgyn about it.posted 05/21/2010 by dove_gurl86
i am pregnant with my third baby. i had c-sections with the first 2. i am a lil nervouse bkuz the last delivery took a lil longer than the first and i bled more with the second. i am having another c-section and getting my tubes tied. i think every woman is diffrent. i healed very fast and very well with both kids and hope to this time.i can't imagine having more than 3 via c-section. it is alot of pain and alot of worry. the nurses at the hospital told me with the last one that they didn't recomend having more than 3, bkuz of uterus rupture, and i believe them. i knew a friend who ruptured when she was just lifting something in the last weeks of her pregnancy, that was scary. she had a previous c-section. we were made to have natural birth, not cut open.posted 05/19/2010 by rykersmom1
I am due in Aug. It will be my 4th c-section. My first c-section in 99 was because my baby was breach.I am kind of mad because after that my dr told me he must do repeat c-sections, however,my sis is due 3 weeks before me and he gave her a choice repeat c-section or natural,she chose csection. Had I been given that choice,I would've went natural. The staples hurt way too bad! And my Dr wont do stitches.I've heard after 3 is dangerous and after 4,still don't know, my dr. hasn't said anything to me about it. I do want another baby along the line though.posted 05/18/2010 by streak_taker
I have had 3 c-sections. My husband and I are currently trying to conceive baby number 5 (my first pregnancy was twins). My children are all very close in age so I am reluctant to do it again. My twins are only 2 1/2, I have a 15 month old and a 3 month old. So my sections have been close. But my doctor knows that I am already trying to conceive another child and has never said anything about having a fourth c-section. I honestly would love to VBAC, but my doctor wont let me because of all the sections. WOW to the woman who has had 8!!!!!posted 05/11/2010 by bgreathosue3
I turned 35 on Feb 18th, and I had my 5th c-section on feb.19th, and am considering ttc again in a year. My DR said afterwards, there was very minimal scar tissue and my uterus was still very thick, and not thinned as is common after so many. We discussed the risks that comes with repeat c-sections years ago, he is not concerned...in my case. I have friends who had to stop at 2 and 3 c-sections though, because they were not candidates to continue. It really all depends on the person, the DR, and your medical history. The DR who was on call at the hospital after I had my last baby was having an absolute FIT because I was on my 5th c-section. Said he never heard of such stupidity!!! He was rude and insulting, and I thank GOD he wasn't my freak'n baby DR,lol! To each his own, follow your heart, and your DR's advice. I am an only child, I love kids, and life is way too short to not live it to the fullest:-)posted 04/18/2010 by lil.pigz
i had a emerg. c section my first . which ended in the death of my son not due to c-section. i had pre clamesa. so he was 27weeks old and just couldnt fight enough, so when i got pregnant with my 2nd son they gave me a choice another c-section or vagial well i thought about it and went with aother c-section i figured i know how this is gonna go plus im a chicken when it comes to that much pain, so now im thinking about another child my little boy i have now is 18months i want a girl so bad and then i will be done. but im just worried about the risks my self how many is to many...posted 04/15/2010 by taymarrie051

I am a labor and delivery nurse and have seen people have their 5th and 6th c-sections with no problems. That being said I have also see people suffer from severe complications where the placenta grows through the uterus and invades the bladder or bowel. These women always require a hysterectomy and some require massive blood transfusions and a stay in the ICU. However I still think that each person should discuss their personal risks with their doctor.posted 02/16/2010 by a BabyCenter Member

Also, these seem to fit a bit more loosely than the previous 3 pairs I've owned. Not sure if it a sizing anomaly or if the sizing has changed.

Monsoon causes flash flooding, power outages across Valley
PHOENIX — With rain falling in parts of Greater Phoenix early Wednesday morning, the National Weather Service has kept its flash-flood advisory in place Wednesday until 8 a.m.
The weather service had issued a flash flood warning for Maricopa County until 10:45 p.m. Tuesday, but storms pounded portions of the Valley.
The weather service said showers and thunderstorms will produce
heavy rainfall that will lead to flooding of urban areas and normally dry
washes. A severe storm warning for both Maricopa and Pinal counties ended at 7:17 p.m.
Phoenix streets began flooding during rush hour, leading to heavy delays across the city. Phoenix Fire Capt. Ruben Saavedra said at least 11 people had to be rescued near 19th Avenue and Dobbins in south Phoenix when the street turned into a river.
Local TV news reported that almost 1.5 inches of rain fell in Mesa, while Gilbert had .31 inches and Tempe with .31 inches. Numerous downed trees or power lines in Tempe have also blocked many routes.
Meanwhile, Arizona Public Service reported that power had been knocked out to 6,000 customers, most in Tempe, but that number has since decreased.
As of 9 p.m. 475 customers without power, down from 6,000. Storms still going on, reports of new outages continue.
— APS (@apsFYI) August 13, 2014
Flights at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport even experienced delays of up to one hour during the storm. The airport received 0.38 inches of rain.
A monsoon storm also dumped up to 2 inches of rain on parts of
northwest Tucson.
Authorities said Tuesday afternoon's storm also caused flash flooding in Saguaro
National Park's Tucson Mountain (West) District. Some dirt roads in the park
were washed out and had to be closed.
Police in the southern Arizona town of Marana said several roads were closed due
to flash flooding caused by the heavy rainfall.
There have been no reported injuries.
A flash flood watch will be in effect for the Phoenix area and
much of south-central and southwestern Arizona through
Wednesday morning. Drier conditions are anticipated by Thursday.

Weather Underground (Wunderground) API
Weather Underground provides real-time weather information via the Internet. Weather Underground provides weather reports for cities across the world as well as local weather reports for newspapers and Web sites. The Weather Underground API allows developers and users to access data from Weather Underground to integrate the data and functionality into other applications. They offer a variety of plans and pricing, though most use is free. Some example API methods include accessing weather information by cities and regions, retrieving forecast information, accessing satellite images, and current conditions by location. A unique feature of this API is the Developer Dashboard. Developers have great insight into usage and errors in real time. Over 80 languages are supported with this API. Finally, the folks at Weather Underground have come up with a cleaver way to allow for rate limit overages via a tool called Raindrops. This gives developers a cushion to avoid denial of service errors due to spikes in API requests.

Results tagged ' Matt Stairs '
NLCS Roster Decisions
Nothing has been made officially yet, but expect a similar roster for the NLCS against the Dodgers as the Phillies had in the NLDS. It looks likely that Cole Hamels will pitch game one since he is on full rest. Plus, with the birth of his son and some time home with the wife and child, he should now be ready to focus on baseball. Hamels has done exceptionally well against the Dodgers. He threw a shut-out against them this past June and also beat them twice in last year's NLCS.
Cliff Lee will remain a starter as well with JA Happ, Pedro Martinez and Joe Blanton being juggled around again from the pen to the starters spot. The bullpen however may see a change with Chan Ho Park returning from injury. He is travelling to LA with the team, so he may be in position to take a roster spot away from Kyle Kendrick.
The bullpen is still making many people very nervous. Brad Lidge did save 2 games, but still does not look super sharp. Ryan Madson, the other potential closer, blew 2 saves in the series in the 8th inning. And Brett Myers, who has done the job before, played only 2/3 of an inning and walked 2 batters. This is a huge weak spot, especially when compared to the Dodgers bullpen which is much better.
As for the bench players, this will probably stay the same; Greg Dobbs, Matt Stairs, Ben Francisco and Miguel Cairo. However, with 8 at-bats between these 4 in the NLDS, there was not a hit among them. Stairs did walk once in a critical situation, but Cairo and Dobbs both went 0 for 3. Could this open the door for Eric Bruntlett to step in for Cairo? Probably not, but the bench players are still a concern.
Then again, when you have the big guns like Ryan Howard and Jayson Werth to bail the team out when they run into trouble, you have to like the Phillies chances. So, here is the schedule:
Gm 1
Oct. 15
Gm 2
Oct. 16
Gm 3
Oct. 18
Gm 4
Oct. 19
Gm 5*
Oct. 21
Gm 6*
Oct. 23
Gm 7*
Oct. 24
And just for fun, let me introduce to you our newest family member and Phillies fan, Chase Utley Kitten. He is a Blue Point Ragdoll:

NLDS Roster Announced
The Phillies announced their playoff roster today and there were a few surprises. Here is how it played out (courtesy of Phillies.com):
Catchers (2): Paul Bako and Carlos Ruiz
Infielders (6): Miguel Cairo, Greg Dobbs, Pedro Feliz, Ryan Howard, Jimmy Rollins and Chase Utley
Outfielders (5): Ben Francisco, Raul Ibanez, Matt Stairs, Shane Victorino and Jayson Werth
Pitchers (12): left-handers Antonio Bastardo, Scott Eyre, Cole Hamels, J.A. Happ and Cliff Lee and right-handers Joe Blanton, Chad Durbin, Kyle Kendrick, Brad Lidge, Ryan Madson, Pedro Martinez and Brett Myers
Miguel Cairo was the right decision over Eric Bruntlett. And the rest of the bench players are what I expected.
There was one surprise with the pitchers, however. Clay Condrey and Tyler Walker were left off the roster in favor of Kyle Kendrick and Antonio Bastardo. I did say earlier that Bastardo may be picked over Walker, so that is not too shocking considering the lack of lefties in the pen. But Kendrick over Condrey, I am a bit surprised about. Kendrick did pitch well in September, but Condrey is more consistent and has a lot more experience. I think the nagging back injury did him in; the team must not be convinced that Condrey is healthy.
I also predicted that the Game 1 starter would be Cliff Lee, and that is correct. Cole Hamels will get Game 2 and Game 3 has yet to be decided. My feeling is that it should be JA Happ as the Phils want to overload the Rockies with lefties. But all Charlie Manuel would say is that Happ, Joe Blanton and even Pedro Martinez will be "available" in the pen for the first two games. I suppose then whoever does not get used will start Game 3.
This may also be a strategic move. This gives less preparation time to the Rockies since they will not know who to prepare for.
So, if you are actually home tomorrow at game time, tune in at 2:37pm for the first pitch. The game time still disgusts me. I understand all teams need air time, but how exactly is it that the reigning World Champions do not get one of the prime time slots? I'll tell you why…because MLB cares only about the Yankees and the Red Sox. It has been and probably will always be about these teams, whether deserving or not. I root for the Yankees too, so it is not personal. It is a matter of respect.
Not to mention, normal people have jobs, kids have school and 2:37pm does not allow ANY of these people to enjoy the game, unless they call out sick or skip school. And how about the poor Rockies fans? The game time for them is 12:37pm! (Mountain time) That is just wrong. But hey, if you are a Yankees or Sox fan, I'll bet you are happier than a pig in mud, right? Must be nice.
Well, best of luck to everyone tomorrow (except the Rockies, of course)! Go Phillies!

Roster Ramblings
The post-season roster has not been set for the Phillies; they have until 10am tomorrow to make the final decision. The central core is not in question, with 6 current and former All-Stars in starting roles. However, the pitching rotation, bullpen and bench players are going to be tough decisions.
Manager Charlie Manuel seems to favor Eric Bruntlett on the bench because he runs well and can play almost every position in the field. However, Bruntlett has not hit well and ended the year with 18 hits in 105 at-bats for a .171 average. Miguel Cairo has performed much better and can play most of the infield spots; he ended the season batting .267 and went 7 for his last 19 including a triple and a home run in the final game.
While Cairo should get the nod over Bruntlett, it may not happen that way. Bruntlett was with the team last year and Manuel tends to favor guys he is most familiar with. Both could make the team, but only if they sacrifice a bullpen spot. Ben Francisco, Greg Dobbs and Matt Stairs should all be locks for the roster, despite the facts that Dobbs has been playing hurt and Stairs batted only .194 this year with 5 homers in 103 at-bats.
The pitching is even more complicated. Most likely Cliff Lee will start game 1 as Cole Hamels would only have 3 days rest. However, Lee has been mostly awful in his last 7 starts, allowing 27 runs in 39 2/3 innings. That is an ERA of about 6.13. Not good. The Phillies hope he will turn things around for his first post-season appearance.
Hamels was equally inconsistent, ending the season with a record of 10-11 and a 4.32 ERA. Pedro Martinez has been dealing with a sore neck, so his ability to pitch deep into a game effectively is in serious question. Joe Blanton and JA Happ have been the only two good, consistent arms in the rotation all year and now Happ may get bumped to the bullpen due to a lack of lefties. That would be a real shame though, because Happ has the best record of the starting staff with 12 wins, 4 losses and an ERA of 2.93. Honestly, I think they need to keep Happ as a starter and take their chances with the lefty situation in the pen. Happ is more valuable for 6-7 innings than he would be for only a few batters.
That brings us to the pen, which is basically a mess. Every regular bullpen pitcher has suffered at least one injury this year, except Ryan Madson. Right now, JC Romero, Jamie Moyer and Chan Ho Park are still hurt and will not play in the NLDS; Moyer is done for the year. That leaves Scott Eyre as the only experienced lefty, and he is pitching through a sore elbow. Chad Durbin, Clay Condrey, Brad Lidge and Madson are on the roster for sure. That leaves Tyler Walker, Kyle Kendrick, Brett Myers and the 2 rookies, Sergio Escalona and Antonio Bastardo to fill the remaining spots.
Escalona and Bastardo are both lefties but lack experience and have exhibited a lack of pitching control at times as well. It would be tough to add one of them to the roster, even though lefties are needed. Kendrick spent most of the year in the minors, but pitched fairly well for the big club in September until his last outing where he gave up 3 runs. And Myers has suffered two injuries which kept him out almost the whole year and he still does not look quite right. That leaves Tyler Walker whose 3.06 ERA is 3rd best in the pen, behind Eyre and Condrey.
But with all the injuries, the Phillies options are limited. My best guess is this: Madson, Lidge, Condrey, Eyre, Durbin, Walker and Myers with Pedro Martinez added to the list instead of Happ. That makes 12 pitchers total, including the 4 starters: Happ, Lee, Hamels and Blanton. Although, if one lefty in the pen looks problematic, they may keep Bastardo instead of Walker. Of course, I may be totally off. We shall see.
9th Inning Rally Falls Short
Going into the 9th inning last night against the Nationals down 2-8, it looked like a sure loss for the Phillies. Joe Blanton had his worst game of the year, giving up all 8 of those runs in only 4 2/3 innings. But with one out in the 9th, Jayson Werth hit a slow grounder and drew a Nationals error to land him safely on 1st base. After that, the Phillies loaded the bases for Matt Stairs.
Stairs had not had a hit in what seems like ages (30 at-bats) but finally came up big with a Grand Slam to put the team within 2 runs. Shane Victorino knocked in another run a few batters later to bring the score to 7-8. Then, with runners on 1st and 3rd and still only 1 out, Ryan Howard came up to the plate. Who better to hit a sac fly to tie the game, right? Wrong. Two things happened here: Chase Utley fell asleep on 1st and did not advance to 2nd on a wild pitch when the Nationals were only concerned with Victorino on third. Utley would have made it without challenge. Then, Howard hits a slow grounder which turns into a double play to end the game! Had Utley advanced, the game would have been tied.
So what was going to be a blow-out loss for the Phillies turns into a heartbreaker at the last minute. Add to that both the Marlins and Braves won last night and now the Phillies are only 5 games ahead in the division. A few weeks ago, they had an 8 ½ game lead which they are now letting slip away.
After the game, Charlie Manuel said his team is "playing down" to the competition. The Phillies are getting beat by mediocre (Astros) and very, very bad teams (Nationals – worst team in baseball). If they do not hit their stride in the Mets series this weekend, it is going to be a very uncomfortable run at the post-season.
Cole Hamels pitches tonight at 7:05pm. Cross your fingers folks!

Happ Pitches Well But Offense Leaves Him Hanging
The game began with a Pirates lead-off home run off the rookie, JA Happ. But after that, Happ did not budge and sent the Bucos away each inning frustrated.
Happ went 8 innings, gave up 3 runs on 7 hits and 2 walks. Happ had a 2-1 lead until the 8th inning when he surrendered the big blow; a 2-run shot by Garrett Jones to give the Bucos a 3-2 lead. Still a great outing by Happ, but with no offense to back him up, the result was not ideal.
Well, no offense except Jimmy Rollins and Paul Bako. Rollins looked like the energizer bunny all night long as the ball jumped off his bat and his defense was stunning. But his effort of 3 for 5 on the night was the only real offense in the game. Ryan Howard collected an RBI on a force out in the 1st inning with the bases loaded. The following inning, back-up catcher Paul Bako hit a rare home run as fans did a double take at their TV sets…Bako who? The surprise homer from Bako seemed to lull the Phillies into a deep trance from which they did not wake up. In fact, neither team scored again until that killer home run by the Pirates in the 8th.
The Phillies offense this entire 3-game series was pathetic. Howard helped give the numbers a boost with his 3-run homer yesterday, but that was about the only hitting highlight of the series. Losing 2 out of 3 to a last place team is just very, very sad.
The Braves come to town tomorrow for 3 games and hopefully, the Phillies will find their bats!

Lidge Blows Game After 9th Inning Comeback
The Phillies pulled off an amazing 9th inning comeback against the lowly Pirates tonight, only to have Brad Lidge blow the save…again. Joe Blanton started the game and did not have a fun day pitching either. The home plate umpire, CB Bucknor was having a senior moment on the mound, except that the "moment" lasted all game long. He simply could not remember where the strike zone was. Originally titled "Ode to Forgetfulness," I have renamed this video "Ode to a Senile Umpire:"
Consistency in umpiring is a rare feat these days. So poor Joe had a 2-1 lead going into the 6th inning; just when he thought he had a strikeout to end the inning, Bucknor issued a walk. The next batter knocked one out of the park off a visibly frustrated Blanton. Upon returning to the dugout, Blanton exacted his revenge on an innocent water bottle which was sent soaring through the dugout and eventually ricocheted out onto the field. Blanton ended his outing with 3 runs on 6 hits and 2 walks over 6 innings.
But Blanton had the right to be angry as the Phillies offense did him no favors; the lack of run support for the big righty is becoming a habit. In fact, Jimmy Rollins was the entire offense for much of the game. Rollins saw exactly two pitches in his first two at bats and both of them left the ballpark over the right field wall. Rollins received a sarcastic cheer in his third at bat when he actually took a pitch.
Matt Stairs started the game in place of Jayson Werth in order to get some work, but Stairs has not had a hit since July 11th. 24 at-bats later and he still does not have a hit. Of course, Werth pinch hit in the 8th and struck out with a man on third, so that was no help anyway. The Phillies left several men on third base throughout the game, including that inning. Scoring is the name of the game and that just did not happen tonight.
That is, not until the 9th inning…Carlos Ruiz and Ben Francisco hit back-to-back double to tie up the game at 3-3. Then Shane Victorino tripled to score Francisco and give the Phillies a 4-3 lead! But leave it to Brad Lidge to ruin the moment. Lidge gave up a single, the runner advanced to second on a passed ball and then the next batter hit a long single to Werth who bobbled the ball and a run scored. After that, Lidge pitched a little batting practice and gave up a long home run to Andrew McCutchen. Another blown save for Lidge and the Phillies lose! I am DONE with Lidge – bring back Brett Myers…NOW!
The Phillies will try for a win tomorrow behind a very downtrodden Cole Hamels. Cross your fingers folks; this ought to be almost as scary as Lidge coming into a game. Ugh.

No Fish Fry Tonight
Entering tonight's game, the Phillies had won 2 in a row and the Marlins had just been swept in 3-games by the Nationals. But none of that mattered as the game quickly went down the drain for the Phils. Mistakes and missed opportunities sent them away with a 2-3 loss.
One of those missed opportunities took place in the 2nd inning when the Phillies had runners on 1st and 3rd with no outs and failed to score. Managing only 2 hits in the game through 6 innings, the Phillies batters looked like they were swatting at flies…and missing.
The only offense in the game came from a recent addition to the Phillies. Ben Francisco started in right field tonight while Shane Victorino gave his bum knee a rest; The Frisco Kid tried to play cowboy in the 7th inning and wrangle the Fish. First, he threw out a runner at home plate to end the 1st half of the 7th. Then, when he stepped to the plate for the 2nd half of the inning, Francisco hit a 2-run homer, putting the Phillies within 1 run of catching those slippery Fish.
But Francisco could not play hero in the bottom of the 9th, as he struck out to start the inning in what was still a very close game. Greg Dobbs hit a long fly ball to left for out #2. Then, Matt Stairs put on his cowboy hat and stepped to the plate. He kicked his spurs, reached back and….grounded out softly to 1st base to end the game :O(
Before the game, Harry Kalas was honored and officially inducted into the Phillies Wall of Fame. As his three sons watched, the Phillies introduced previously inducted members of the Hall to the field by playing Harry's voice, using previously taped announcements for each of those former players. Mike Schmidt seemed especially moved upon hearing Harry call him to the field one last time. The entire ceremony was very touching and a genuine tribute to the man who represented Phillies baseball for almost four decades. Too bad the Phils could not pull out a win for Harry, but that is baseball. Tomorrow is another day…

Day Dreamin' In Tampa
The past few days have left Phillies fans wondering who turned the lights out. The mental mistakes, lack of concentration and outright wackiness of this team begs the question, where have the Phillies head's gone? Did they drink too many Slurpee's in the hot weather and are suffering from severe brain freeze? Or, are they day dreaming of midget clowns, fire eaters and candy? Hmmmm….
At the plate, they appear to be asleep; weak swings at bad balls, staring like a deer in headlights at strikes down the middle of the plate and base running that brings back memories of their little league days. Tonight, Pedro Feliz killed an inning that had real potential by forgetting how many outs there were. 1 out in the 6th, Pedro on 1st and Matt Stairs on 3rd, Eric Bruntlett did his job and hit a sac fly to center. Feliz, however, thinking there were two outs, ran all the way to second and got doubled up at 1st before Stairs could score. The run did not count and the threat was over.
But this is only one of several examples of spontaneous stupidity displayed by the team this week. It has made most fans wish they really were living in la-la-land, as the Phillies appear to be. At least in la-la-land, the rest of the NL East catching up to the Phils may not factor in. However, in the real world, the Phillies have run themselves into big trouble.
And trouble rolls downhill, starting with the starters. Antonio Bastardo was given a 4 run lead to start the game and immediately gave 3 runs right back to the Rays in the bottom of the 1st inning. And as expected, it all went downhill from there. Maybe if Bastardo more closely resembled another Antonio, I would be able to cope with his lack of control:
Put Banderas on the mound and I don't care if he walks in 12 runs…at least he would look good doing it ;O) But Bastardo still needs work before he is major league ready. And he may have taken that decision out of the manager's hands anyway tonight, as he left the game early with a left shoulder strain. The Phillies need a starting pitcher – real bad. The hole in the rotation left by Brett Myers continues to haunt the team, with no answer yet in sight. And even worse, because the Phillies have let so many teams in the NL catch up to them over these last few weeks, most teams are not ready to give up and start unloading talent. They all still have a shot at the Wildcard, thanks to the Phillies bad play. And therefore, the pickings are slim for starting pitchers. Talk about shooting themselves in the foot…ouch!
Hey, maybe Antonio Banderas IS available? I have no idea if he has ever picked up a baseball, but I am willing to give him a shot. Hey Tony…call me ;O)

Here Come The Boo's
Let the Boo's begin…now, I do not condone booing, but there will be no avoiding it after the Phillies blew another lead today for their 5th loss in a row; 7 losses in their last 8 games. And they blew it yet again in spectacular fashion.
The offense had only two hits through the 6th inning; one from Greg Dobbs and one from Paul Bako. No runner had advanced past first base either. And JA Happ had an adventurous start on the mound; Happ allowed only 2 runs, but had a lot of base runners. With 10 hits and 4 walks given up to the Orioles, Happ was having some issues. But to his credit, he got out of the jams and nailed down 6 innings to keep the Phillies in the game.
Despite all that, the Phillies were poised to win the game after Ryan Howard tried to play hero. In fact, maybe Howard should get sick more often…he spent time in the hospital earlier today with a 104 degree temperature and was held out of the game's staring line-up tonight. Dobbs started at 1st base, Matt Stairs started in left and Bako got his first start at catcher. But it was Howard who tried to break the game open in the 7th inning, despite his fever. Coming in to pinch hit with 2 men on base, 2 outs and the Phillies trailing by a score of 2-3, Howard nailed a 3-run homer to straight away center field. And just like that, the Phillies who had been silent all game long, suddenly seemed to develop a heartbeat. It's Alive!! Or, is it?
Well, things got bad again, very quickly…and again, it was Ryan Madson who did the damage. He gave up a solo home run to Greg Zaun in the 9th and then, with 2 strikes on Brian Roberts and 2 outs, he threw a fastball down the middle of the plate and Roberts knocked it over the fence, scoring 2 runs. Madson blows another save. OMG. I am sure no one feels worse about how this week has gone than Madson, but do we all see now why he should NOT replace Brad Lidge? Many critics have complained about Lidge blowing saves this year and suggested Madson take over; clearly, this is not the role for Madson. He tries too hard, he over throws and you see the results. I feel for Madson; this is not the role for him. But this was apparent to me 2 blown saves ago, so why has nothing changed? JC Romero is better suited to close. Can we give it a try at least? Please? It is not fair to anyone, including Madson, to let this go on as is.
I will be at the game tomorrow and return with photos and a report on how the crowd reacts to the team after this disastrous home stand. Wish me luck…

Home Struggles Continue
The Phillies have been road warriors this year, but the home stands have left a lot to be desired. They dropped another home series today as they went down to the Marlins, 6-2. Brett Myers was doing well through 5 innings and even had a hit in the game, but come the 6th inning, he ran into trouble. Myers began to grimace after pitches and appeared to be having pain of some sort. Charlie Manuel pulled him after 2 outs and Myers continued to look discomforted on the bench. The official word is that he has right hip inflammation…hoping he will be alright!
So Myers struggled, but the offense also provided little remedy. Carlos Ruiz and Matt Stairs each nailed solo shots and Ryan Howard had 2 hits in the game. Then the Phillies attempted a rally in the 8th with a walk to Jimmy Rollins and Shane Victorino reaching on an error. Chase Utley stepped in and missed a home run by about 6 inches; it was caught for out #2. Major bummer :O( Howard had the chance to play hero after that, but he went down swinging. Another rally in the 9th failed as well; bases loaded, 2 outs and Rollins flied out to center.
The green shamrock hats given away to fans tonight did not bring the Phillies luck either. In fact, maybe it was the sea of green in the stands that sickened the players? Or maybe it was just the Marlins pitching, which was on spot. Plus former Phillies Wes Helms and Ronny Paulino had 6 hits in this 3 game series. Depressing, no matter how you look at it. Where was Helms' bat when WE needed it? Ugh.
But here is something to cheer you up…it's the Gizmo Cam! Yes, Gizmo the chinchilla is at it again, trying to get your votes for our Phillies All-Stars! See how cute he is….how can you not help the little guy?
Remember to VOTE up to 25 times per day, per email address!

GOSHEN – North Oldham's players are getting used to a new way of doing things, coach Dan Pfaff said.
From different warmups to new offensive and defensive systems, the Lady Mustangs are trying to change their culture and climb out of the District 29 cellar.
But combine first-game jitters with a hot-shooting opponent and North Oldham dug too deep a hole Wednesday night.
North Bullitt raced out to a 30-4 lead early in the second quarter and went on to win 71-41 in the season opener for both teams.
GOSHEN – No one at Mustang Stadium Friday night will soon forget what they saw.
They won't forget North Oldham's furious rally to take a 24-21 lead with six seconds left in a KHSAA Class 4-A State Semifinal against Owensboro.
They won't forget the celebration that followed sophomore Jackson Wine's go-ahead field goal that looked like it would guaranee the Mustangs their first trip to the state championship.
GOSHEN – Rob Burton's North Oldham coaching debut looked like it might end in a Mustang comeback win Monday night.
North cut Bullitt East's 49-27 halftime lead to 60-56 early in the fourth quarter but the Chargers rallied to pull away and win 78-64.
The loss was still a positive night for the Mustangs considering:
–Bullitt East (1-0) was ranked No. 16 in the preseason by the state's coaches, while North (0-1) was unranked and picked by coaches to finish 10th in Region 8.
GOSHEN – Six seconds, two tips and 61 yards ended North Oldham's dream season Friday night in the most brutal way imaginable.
The Mustangs had just taken a 24-21 lead against Owensboro in the final seconds of a KHSAA Class 4-A semifinal after Jackson Wine hit a field goal.
North was six seconds away from its first trip to the state title game, needing only to prevent a Red Devils touchdown.
North Oldham tallied 680 points to take a six-team swim meet Tuesday night in Shelbyville.
South Oldham won the boys meet with 284 points. Next came runner-up North (276), third-place Collins (238) and fourth-place Oldham County (157).
North tallied 404 points to take the girls meet. Following the Lady Mustangs were South (217), Collins (188) and OC (175).
Shelby County and Spencer County also competed at the meet.
County champions included:
There are four teams left in the KHSAA Class 4-A state playoffs.
Three of those schools, Highlands, Lexington Catholic and Owensboro, have combined for 26 state titles.
Meanwhile the fourth program, North Oldham, has reached the state semifinals for the first time in its 12-season history.
The Mustangs have announced their presence on the state's stage with a 10-2 season that's seen them win their games by an average score of 41-8.
Juniors Collin Portman and John Reitnauer have each been competing for North Oldham since they were middle schoolers, starting their varsity wrestling careers as eighth-graders.
This season the pair has made their mark on the gridiron for the Mustangs.
Portman, a defensive end, has a team-high 105 tackles for North (10-2), which hosts Owensboro at 7 p.m. Friday in a KHSAA Class 4-A state semifinal.
North Oldham
North Oldham must replace one of its best wrestlers in school history, Mitch Rusch.
Rusch finished third last season in the 160-pound class at the KHSAA state wrestling championships in Lexington.
He graduated in June and is now wrestling at St. Catharine College.
"That's definitely a big loss," coach Tony Zeppa said. "He'd been with the program for six years… and was a six-time state qualifier.

Ramzi Mohammad Asfour, a 28-year old resident of Greater Abasan, suffered moderate injuries after masked gunmen shot him in Khan Yunis. Asfour is a member of the Preventive Security Apparatus.
PCHR's preliminary investigation indicates that at approximately 14:50 on Sunday, 30 July 2006, a number of masked gunmen in 2 cars intercepted a taxi in which Asfour was riding. The incident took place in Bahar Street, opposite Naser Hospital in Khan Yunis. The gunmen forced Asfour out of the taxi and shot him in the legs. He was hit by several bullets in the legs and thighs. He was immediately taken to Naser Hospital for treatment, where his condition was listed as moderate.
As someone in preventive security, he must have been very proud of the situation in Gaza, where security has been just about completely prevented.

Except for the palms of our hands and the soles of our feet, the skin of our entire bodies, the human epidermis, is covered with, among other anatomical structures, tiny glands called the sebaceous glands. These are the glands which produce an oily substance (sebum) within hair follicles to lubricate the outer skin and hair.
When these microscopic sebaceous glands at the base of the eyelashes (most frequently of the upper lid of the eye) become infected, they result in a condition known as stye. When a stye develops on the inside of the eyelid, it is most often referred to as a hordeolum. Although it is quite uncomfortable and very persistent (could last about three weeks or more), a stye or a hordeolum rarely results in further complications and leaves no lasting after effects.
A stye is thought to be closely related to an eye disease known as blepharitis which is recognized as an inflammation of the edge of eyelids that causes redness, itching, irritation and grittiness.
A stye can affect individuals of all ages, genders and ethnicities. However, African American and Hispanic infants and young children seem to be most prone to it.
The beginning stages of a stye are usually experienced as tender, painful and reddened swellings of the affected area. As the stye develops into its more advanced stages, the swelling increases and the eye begins to itch profusely, it incessantly discharges tears, it become sensitive to light and blinking often becomes painful. In its most advanced states, a stye will also develop a small white or yellow bump that is filled with puss and causes even more pain.
A secondary infection known as conjunctivitis frequently accompanies the stye. The two tend to run parallel courses and thus come and go in unison.
A stye is a bacterial infection that is most frequently (95% of the time) caused by microorganisms called staphylococcus aureus which tends to attack individuals with weakened immune systems such as those suffering from a wide variety of chronic diseases including diabetes and other infections. The eruption of a stye is often triggered by emotional or psychological stress, by physiological distress such as is set off by poor nutrition and unhealthful diets, alcohol and drug abuse, as well as by substandard hygiene and pollution.
Since styes tend to be highly contagious, they can easily spread from one individual to another or from one site to another site of the same individual via contact of hands, cosmetics, towels, washcloths, pillow cases and so on.
A stye will usually run its course and dissipate with no intervention. However, topical ointments such as Polysporin or erythromycin will expedite its demise considerably.
Applications of warm compresses will promote an increased flow of blood and thus encourage the white blood cells to attack the infection. Furthermore, the heat and dampness of such compresses will help the stye drain more quickly.
Washing the affected eye with clean, cold water is not a cure, but it will sooth the discomfort and pain caused by the infectious stye.
When the stye is particularly bothersome and long-enduring, a medical professional may opt to lance (pierce) it for accelerated draining and prescribe an oral antibiotic.

EDMOND, Okla. — Natalie Konan thought her son, Pearce, was safe.
For three hours, he floated safely in the pool, wearing a life jacket and surrounded by other kids and parents.
But when it was time to leave, Natalie removed her baby's life jacket, floaties and started packing up her belongings.
Konan said, "I was putting my stuff away, ready to leave, talking to my friend and I turned around to say let's go and I looked in the pool and Pearce was floating face up in the water."
Natalie jumped into the pool and scooped her little boy's lifeless body out of the water.
She said, "He had no pulse. He wasn't breathing. But you're a nurse? Thank God."
Just six months ago, she became CPR-certified.
After five intense minutes, Natalie revived her son.
EMSA medics arrived just as Pearce began breathing again.
Medic Jeff Rice said, "If it wasn't for her quick thinking and what she did, her son Pearce might not have survived."
Natalie plans to start sharing her life saving CPR skills with other moms.
She said she'll never let her precious children out of sight again, not even for a moment.
She told us, "Every mom needs to know CPR. It's life or death."
EMSA also offers CPR courses.

The contract talks between ArcelorMittal and its more than 14,000 steelworkers company-wide are underway and workers are being asked to make concessions.
Georgetowns steel-making plant is part of the company where the contracts expire Sept. 1.
Discussions, according to the Associated Press, began Monday and the two sides are far apart on issues such as wages and benefits.
The company is asking for cuts of about $28 per hour in wages and benefits from workers, according to published reports. Workers are also being asked to give the company the right to reduce wages during slowdowns.
According to the AP, the company is also seeking concessions in contributions of some pension plans and is seeking to eliminate retiree health care and pension benefits for workers hired after Sept. 1.
Under the proposal, health care costs for current and future retirees would increase.
In a statement released in a June newsletter, the United Steelworkers says ArcelorMittal has failed to honor its commitment to make the operations more efficient by ignoring workers suggestions.
In a statement, ArcelorMittal officials say the company wants a fair agreement that creates a sustainable future for the company and its work force.

Why bother? Provided he's not tapping phones or bribing law enforcement officers - his editor can take care of the rest .
Actually, I do think that one of the worst jobs in the world must be that of the editor who finds himself between the celebrity pundit and their audience. I think it would be much more interesting to talk to BC's editor about this, than BC himself.
I don't know the terms of their agreement, but the editor asked Brandel to rewrite.
Apparently, the editor was not worried about defamation or slander. As previously discussed, those laws are fairly loose when it comes to public figures, so it's possible the editor was trying to help BC. They released the column because they did not fear a suit.
BC's ego, I'd guess, would not fit through a doorway, and was too big to accept a re-write. Maybe this incident put a dent in the ego.... but not for long...

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — An animal training center inspired by canine rescue work on 9/11 is graduating its first class of working dogs.
The University of Pennsylvania's Working Dog Center held a commencement ceremony Tuesday for a yellow Labrador retriever named Socks.
The canine is going to work for the campus police force performing duties including bomb detection.
Other animals in the class will be working as medical alert dogs or on urban search-and-rescue teams. They gave demonstrations of their search skills and showed off their agility on an obstacle course.
The Working Dog Center, which is part of Penn's veterinary school, began training puppies in Philadelphia on Sept. 11, 2012.
They are named after dogs who worked at ground zero during the terrorist attacks in 2001.

White Paper | June 30, 2012
White Paper: How To Automatically Index Scanned Forms Using BarcodesSource: Accusoft
Barcodes are a common sight on consumer products. Almost every retail transaction in North America is driven by the scanning, recognition and lookup of barcode data. But did you know you can also add barcodes to the forms your organization creates? Doing so gives the scanned image a readily identifiable key (a patient, client or customer id), which allows for easy storage and retrieval in a database or content management system. Using a barcode to associate a scanned image with a unique key is called automatic indexing (or "autoindexing") of documents. Auto-indexing is enabled by an easy to use, read-write Barcode SDK, such as Barcode Xpress from Accusoft. In Barcode Xpress, adding barcode creation and recognition can be done in just a few lines of code. Here are a few use cases showing practical application.
Use Case: Medical Patient Registration Form
Let's consider a simple application: patient registration forms for a doctor's office. The forms are pre-printed, with explanatory text and a space for the patient's name, date and signature. Add a barcode to the top of this page which contains the patient's id and name and when the form is scanned, it can be automatically attached to the patient's electronic record. In this example, we will use a 2D barcode to maximize the amount of information which can be stored. Barcode Xpress supports writing of the 2D DataMatrix and PDF417 formats, both of which have compact footprints, which allow them to be easily integrated into the existing whitespace on a form. We'll print the patient's name and ID, separated by a colon, about 5/8 of an inch inset from the top and left hand edges of the pre-printed form. Next, encode the patient's name ("Scott Wilson") along with an ID ("2011-0123456789-01-234-5678") with a colon separating the two fields. This produces a DataMatrix barcode.
