News: Kelvim Escobar Can't Grip a Baseball
According to Adam Rubin of the Daily News, Johan Santana said he recently played catch with Kelvim Escobar, and reports Escobar is unable to grip a baseball are not true.
Original Post at 11:35 am:
Yesterday, in a post to the New York Times, David Waldstein said Escobar felt some discomfort in his right shoulder, while working out in advance of reporting to Tradition Field.
Today, Craig Calcaterra of NBC Sports says, according to a source, "Escobar isn't even able to grip a baseball right now, and there are concerns that he's seriously injured."
Escobar had surgery on his shoulder in 2007.
He missed all of 2008 and pitched only five innings last year for the Angels.
According to ESPN.com, Escobar will make $1.25 million in base salary next season, in addition to a $125,000 bonus if he makes the Opening Day roster. Escobar can also receive up to $2 million in incentives based on games pitched, and an extra $1 million based on games finished.

Signs and symptoms of breast cysts include:
Having one or many simple breast cysts doesn't increase your risk of breast cancer. But having cysts may interfere with your ability to detect new breast lumps or other abnormal changes that might need to be evaluated by your doctor. It's important to become familiar with how your breasts normally feel so that you'll know when something is new or changing or just doesn't feel right.
Normal breast tissue in healthy women often feels lumpy or nodular. But if you detect the presence of any new breast lumps that don't go away after a menstrual period, or if a previously evaluated breast lump seems to have grown or otherwise changed, make an appointment with your doctor to get it checked out right away.

Does English sport suffer from its suspicion of maverick talents?
The real wonder of Kevin Pietersen's England career is not that he has endured for so long but that he was picked in the first place. Such is the deep-seated suspicion of the 'maverick' in English sport.
It is often enough simply to possess an outlandish talent to be considered suspect. English sport is set up for honest yeomen, while outlandish talent is often treated like witchcraft.
Pietersen, who has played 104 Tests, is proof that a so-called maverick can endure, but he has never stopped being a conundrum.
Pietersen's inclusion in the England squad for the 2005 Ashes series represented an uncharacteristic piece of selectorial risk-taking, especially given that the dependable Graham Thorpe was simultaneously jettisoned.
For many, Pietersen was too South African. Others thought him too capricious. And there was the question of his hair. Despite making 13,797 international runs and being England's highest run-scorer in the depressing 5-0 Ashes whitewash, he remains a deeply divisive figure.
Even David Gower has accused Pietersen of putting his ego before the team. Gower's opinion is particularly noteworthy, not least because the exquisite left-hander once buzzed an Ashes warm-up game in Queensland in a Tiger Moth biplane.
Such Corinthian behaviour suggested Gower's heart wasn't in playing cricket for England, regardless of his thousands of Test runs. Not long after the Tiger Moth incident, Gower's career was gunned down by Graham Gooch, his significantly more prosaic skipper.
Others in the pantheon of English sporting mavericks include Glenn Hoddle, described by Arsene Wenger, who managed the former Tottenham and England playmaker at Monaco, as "the most skilful player I ever worked with", yet dismissed by others as "a luxury"; and former Bath fly-half Stuart Barnes, a suspicious free-thinker in the dogmatic world of English rugby. More of both later.
This distrust of the unorthodox has its roots in the Victorian era, the age of the sporting amateur. As Sir John Gielgud's Cambridge college master made clear to Harold Abrahams in Chariots of Fire, sport was meant to be about the "unassailable spirit of loyalty, comradeship and mutual responsibility". Non-conformists, in the words of Gielgud's character, messed with "esprit de corps".
But it was in the 1970s that the stereotype of the sporting maverick morphed into its modern form, as a direct result of English football's greatest triumph.
Matt Le Tissier was overlooked for England's Euro '92, Euro '96 and World Cup '98 squads. Here are the total caps of some of his midfield contemporaries:
- Matt Le Tissier - 8 caps
- Paul Gascoigne - 57
- David Batty - 42
- Darren Anderton - 30
- Neil Webb - 26
- Paul Merson - 21
- Rob Lee - 21
- Carlton Palmer - 18
- Andy Sinton - 12
- Steve Stone - 9
Alf Ramsey took over as England manager in 1962 and it was he who phased out the outdated 'W' formation, with its insistence on fancy-dan wingers who hugged the touchline, in favour of midfielders who attacked through the middle. As such, his England side that won the 1966 World Cup came to be known as 'The Wingless Wonders'.
"I have a pattern of play in mind and I pick the best players to fit that pattern," said Ramsey. "I don't necessarily pick the best players."
However, as Jonathan Wilson details in his fine book The Anatomy of England, Ramsey's unshakeable faith in hard graft and discipline and suspicion of flair played a part in his eventual downfall. It also came to define English football.
In the 1970s, when England failed to qualify for two World Cups, a host of lavish talents were viewed as conundrums rather than solutions by successive England managers.
Men such as Alan Hudson, Rodney Marsh and Peter Osgood, who might have been accommodated by more imaginative bosses, became cult figures instead. Nostalgic fans, meanwhile, pined for a charismatic saviour, a man like Stanley Matthews, 'The Wizard of the Dribble', who could stand a foreign full-back on his head wearing hobnail boots.
In the 1980s it was the tireless Bryan Robson who personified English football. A fierce, courageous competitor, Robson revelled in the moniker 'Captain Marvel', while the more cultured Hoddle was nicknamed 'God' by Spurs fans and 'Glenda' by everyone else.
Brian Clough, who no doubt would have made better use of some of the more florid talent at his disposal had he ever been made England manager, said it took "moral courage to play the way Hoddle does".
But many England fans, for whom football was about blood and guts, balls and gumption rather than airy-fairy notions such as technique and vision, saw Hoddle as a hindrance who should tuck his shirt in.
"People talk about character," said Hoddle, "but what is character? Is it tearing around at 100mph? It makes me laugh." The great Michel Platini recognised the character in his kindred spirit, proclaiming that Hoddle would have won 150 international caps had he been born French. Hoddle ended up with 53 and was usually played out of position.
"Glenn Hoddle was probably the most talented footballer I ever saw play," says Matt Le Tissier, who joined Hoddle in the pantheon of mavericks in the 1990s.
"But in England we've always viewed with suspicion anyone who's got a talent that is out of the ordinary. We find it more important to have 11 players who are going to fit into a team pattern, which is going to produce mediocre football, than to take chances on people who have the ability to win you matches.
"England managers weren't prepared to take a chance on the type of player I was. At Southampton, we had a team who were happy to cover up for my deficiencies. But with England, the manager had to take into account other players' egos and the problems that might have caused in the dressing room."
Jack Wilshere Arsenal and England
"We are English and we are tough on the pitch. Spain are technical; England are brave and tackle hard."
Remarkably, it was Hoddle who ended Le Tissier's international career after only eight caps, dropping him for good after a home defeat by Italy in a World Cup qualifier. Having been stilettoed by a fellow poet, Le Tissier could be forgiven for wanting Hoddle to come back as Carlton Palmer in his next life.
Even more remarkably, some in English football who should know better still haven't grasped that success on the international stage requires a little bit more than grunt and grind and other such traditional English values.
"We have to remember what we are," said Arsenal and England starlet Jack Wilshere last year. "We are English and we are tough on the pitch. Spain are technical; England are brave and tackle hard."
For Robson in football, read Jonny Wilkinson in rugby union. Wilkinson, like Robson, was the biggest English star in his chosen sport in his era. And Wilkinson, like Robson, was very much the team player, carried his talent lightly and was hugely admired because of it.
Wilkinson's heroic status is largely down to the central part he played in England winning the World Cup in 2003. But while he is undeniably a fine player, he is also the product of a conservative system.
Sir Clive Woodward is widely portrayed as an innovator but, on the pitch at least, his England side won the World Cup courtesy of a dominant pack, superbly organised defence and the unerring boot of Wilkinson. The unexpected was provided by mercurial winger Jason Robinson, and he came from rugby league.
The tactical conservatism of English rugby union, which is evident even at school level, might explain why England has produced so few outrageous talents behind the scrum, of the type New Zealand churn out year after year.
This might also explain why, when a player emerges with a reputation for doing things differently, English rugby union doesn't know what to make of them.
Enter Stuart Barnes, who was at the controls of most of the great Bath sides of the 1980s and 90s but won only 10 England caps. Because Barnes, like Pietersen, was a conundrum, a problem, a poser. Or, some might say, a poseur.
Successive England coaches favoured Rob Andrew's proficiency to Barnes's unpredictability in the number 10 shirt.
Meanwhile, England fans were divided into Roundheads and Cavaliers, with Andrew, all modesty and discipline, playing the role of Cromwell and Barnes, exuding pleasure and individuality, as Charles I.
In a case of sport imitating war Barnes, more often than not, got the chop, while Andrew won the hearts of 'Twickenham Man' and 71 England caps to boot.
The row between the Roundheads and Cavaliers could be about to start up again because Owen Farrell, a fine goal-kicker and defender whose attacking nous has been questioned, has been joined in the latest England squad by Bath playmaker George Ford. Once more, the heart and soul of the national team is at stake.
Ford, 20, might be the man who takes England down a road less travelled. Or, like Danny Cipriani in recent times, he might be dabbled with and discarded.
If Pietersen is discarded by England, he will likely spend the rest of his career as a gun for hire in limited-overs competitions across the globe, including the starry Indian Premier League.
And he will no doubt discover, if he hasn't done so already, that one nation's maverick is another nation's genius.

KP doesn't fit in and we view him with suspicion, not because of his "maverick talent", but because he is socially maladjusted, which condition is difficult to accommodate in the long-term within a cricket team.

Answer NO. we don't suffer since at top level mavericks don't work - they work well at club level where the everyday players get used to there primadonna ways.

We are a conservative nation and no more so when it comes to sport; The 'team player' and 'hard grafter' always seems to command more respect than raw talent. For some unknown reason we are always very quick to knock those with the greatest ability that suffer a dip in form. If predictable mediocrity is what we are all most comfortable with then that is what we will get.

If you look at outrageous talent over the years the true greats have blended the maverick with the overall goal of the team. I highlight Michael Lynagh, Jerry Guscott, Viv Richards, and Brian Lara as they always stood up when their team was in crisis. Kevin Pieterson's motivation is of the individual and he disappeared very quickly in the moment of truth. Great sportsman never neglected his team.

It's not quite about the Mav's, it's this Country's shunning of the technical game that has cost , well, evry single modern Tournament.
Coach after coach, the refusal to emphasise and maximize possession and ball control will easily see the national footballing team pass 50 Golden yrs w/o even a Euro Trophy.
Comment number 501. Posted by Will13on 15 Jan 2014 20:10
In rugby the best most talented players are always the mavericks. People like Gareth Edwards, Phil Bennett, Brian O'Driscoll, even the likes of Quade Cooper, Kurtley Beale, Israel Dagg, would never be picked for England which in my view is bad.
Comment number 500. Posted by Da_Happy_Londoneron 15 Jan 2014 20:03
Tyson :) He was a great 'maverick' :) Ali :) probably the GREATEST 'maverick' boxer :) EVER :) Cantona :) one of my favourite footy players :) along with Zidane :) That some might find 'fault' with these sportsmen - makes me wonder what they 'look' for in sport! Cantona and Zidane kinda show how, used correctly, 'mavericks' can help build winning teams instead of teams that struggle to win!

Friends, family seek word on Oregonians at Boston Marathon
EUGENE, Ore. - As news out of Boston alarmed the nation, family and friends awaited word from the 351 runners from Oregon, including 24 from Eugene, who were registered to participate in the Boston Marathon.
Bob Coll at Eugene Running Company said two of his employees ran the Boston Marathon. They're both OK, he said.
Coll said even though all his friends have phoned him to say they're safe, the event has been emotionally draining.
"Just the nature of running a marathon is such an emotional event for people," Coll said. "To have a tragedy unfold as part of the event just magnifies the emotional aspect of it."
Nancy Gissel, 54, finished the race shortly before the first explosion, her son Brad told KVAL News. She got separated from her husband and daughter, but Brad said he had been in touch with both his mother and father and they are fine.
Craig Leon of Eugene, who placed 10th in the men's race, and Shalane Flanagan and Kara Goucher of Portland, who placed 4th and 6th in the women's race, all sent out messages on Twitter saying they were OK.
Eugene Marathon officials met to discuss how to respond. The marathon is less than 2 weeks away.
The Eugene Marathon issued this statement:
"Our thoughts and prayers are with all of those affected by the tragic events that took place in Boston today. We have a close bond with our friends and colleagues in the marathon running community and we will support them however we can. The Eugene Marathon will take place as scheduled and we are working with city officials, law enforcement officials and first responders to ensure the safety of our participants and spectators."
Google set up a site to help people report and locate people in the wake of the bombing.

Blackstone's Vintage Attraction
Charles diligently chronicling Santorini for what will someday become his Vintage Attraction
After being married to a writer for six years, I've come to the conclusion that there is very little fiction in fiction. Authors pull from their lives, and the people that surround them are fair game as points of insipiration for their stories. When I met my husband, he certainly enjoyed wine but really couldn't tell you the difference between Pinot Noir and peanut butter (to be fair, at one point, neither could I). Each year I visit two or three wine regions and probably taste well over one thousand wines, and Charles has been there for much of it since the inception of our relationship. The world of wine is rife with fascinating characters and situations, and for a writer like Charles, it was only time before he put pen to paper (or, rather, keyboard to screen) to capture these moments.
He began working on his novel about four years ago based on a premise close to home: a young academic by the name of Peter Hapworth who meets and marries Isabelle Conway, a sommelier who happens to work for a French chef and is host of a popular local television show. Sound familiar? Hapworth gets hurled into the world of wine, restaurants, celebrity chefs, and sommeliers, and he soon realizes a dark-as-Syrah side lurks behind the glitzy facade, food festivals, and endless flows of Burgundy. What Charles has been able to capture is a real look at what it's like to live and work as a sommelier, and many of my sommelier friends who have had a chance to preview the novel agree. The novel is also coming at an interesting time, considering the recent attention given to sommeliers from the likes of Eric Asimov, Jay McInerney, and the soon-to-be released documentary SOMM, which profiles what it takes to pass the grueling Master Sommelier exam. Sure, there are a lot of books on the market about wine, but how many of the authors have this much access to the characters who inspire the stories?
Well, I am so pleased to announce that Charles's novel will be published as a lead title for Pegasus Books for next fall. It will be titled Vintage Attraction, and I sure hope you read it!
Announced in Publishers Marketplace: FICTION:
Charles Blackstone's VINTAGE ATTRACTION features a young English teacher who falls, glass first, into love and wine, when he meets a famous sommelier, and the two embark on a journey through Greece and navigate the mysteries of wine and the heart, giving insight into the real world of sommeliers and expert wine pairings in the process. To Jessica Case and Pegasus Books, on behalf of Ryan Harbage at The Fischer-Harbage Agency. (World).
Special thanks to Charles's agent extraordinaire Ryan Harbage for working tirelessly to get this book to print and Jessica Case from Pegasus Books for believing in the story. It's going to be a vintage year!

Little did I know at the time of writing Dissecting the Success of Social Gaming - that only a few days later, Michael Arrington of TechCrunch would send the industry into a frenzy with his blowing the whistle on offer-scams (the shady lead-gen and subscription offers provided by some advertisers in exchange of points to be spent in-game on virtual goods).
While Michael deserves huge kudos for bringing attention to the issue and for triggering action (Zynga and MySpace have since announced tighter controls on 3rd party offers), much confusion has arisen across the media from the cyber-echo of his points. Here's an attempt to clarify:
- Scams are not generated by the gaming companies. They come in through the third party suppliers of lead-generation offers that allow players to gain virtual points without having to pay for them.
- Offering free points to players for filling out surveys, signing up for newsletters, etc is not a scam nor is it unethical business in principle. What is a scam and absolutely unethical is for advertisers to ask for mobile phone numbers as a way to sneak-in a charge or a monthly subscription fee to the unaware user.
- The social gaming business model is still sound. As reported by Zynga, about 1/3 of its revenue comes from offer suppliers. To understand what impact scams have on a gaming company's business, the more relevant figure would be the percentage of that 1/3 that are scams.
There is no doubt everyone in the supply chain needs to recognize the issue of scams and eliminate them by doing their part in vetting the advertisers: Facebook, the gaming companies and the third party offer suppliers (OfferPal, SuperRewards, etc). Well done Mark Pincus of Zynga for being the first to act.
For a balanced reaction to this loud debate check out this article on Inside Social Games.

Get Social Buzz
Behold the power of social media. Google "social media" and you get 3.29 billion hits. Facebook filed for its IPO last week — the social networking giant hopes to raise as much as $10 billion through the offering. The social media buzz is loud. And we are doing our bit to add to the conversation by seeking out the most innovative social media campaigns.
Staffing firms are currently using social media to attract candidates but critics claim there is no real engagement. In fact, even when it comes to using these strategies to interface with other businesses, the collaboration is limited. By identifying those companies that are using social media effectively, we hope to expand industry knowledge about an underutilized but necessary tool.
So how do you use social media? What have been the results? Staffing Industry Analysts is looking for the most effective ways companies in the staffing industry have used social media. Companies that have had successful blogs, videos, or Facebook campaigns, for example. We'll be recognizing these best practices in the May 2012 issue of Staffing Industry Review magazine. "We plan to use social media to learn about social media, says Jim Lanzalotto, CEO and founder of Scanlon.Louis, a global strategy and marketing outsourcing firm who is helping drive the effort.
So come join the social chatter. By knowing what works and what doesn't, you can improve your social media strategy to yield increasingly better results. Increase your interaction and influence among your clientele and improve your return on investment.

Gronk Breaks Arm Against Colts, Unlikely to Play Jets Thursday
One of the biggest problems for the Jets when it comes to facing the Patriots over the past few years has been Rob Gronkowski, but it looks like the Tight End might not be playing the Jets come Thanksgiving night.
Per Michael Witmer in the Boston Globe:
The news was not all good on the Patriots front Sunday. Tight end Rob Gronkowski suffered a broken left forearm in the 59-24 victory over the Colts, according to an NFL source.
Gronkowski didn't speak to reporters after the game, and wasn't seen in the locker room.
Brian Bassett, TheJetsBlog.com
The Jets played the Patriots tough in their last meeting this year in Foxborough, but a lot has happened since then. Specifically, the team's offense bogged way down, and their special teams has become a real problem. In other ways though, it is as if nothing has happened. Other than Trufant (who covered Welker very well in the last game) there haven't been any more cataclysmic injuries and while they went through two terrible games, their momentum is back on the upswing.
The Patriots looked extremely impressive in all three phases yesterday over the Colts, but the Jets tend to hang in games against the Patriots and losing someone as important to the Pats offense as Gronkowski will most assuredly make it that much easier for the Jets to stay competitive in the game against the Patriots. I always like when the Jets play a team with their best players available, but Gronk is in the early part of his career and is shattering record books so while I'd like to see the Jets beat the Patriots with Gronk on the field, I'm not going to complain if he can't go with a broken arm in three days against the Jets.
It's still going to come down to the Jets defensive line being able to apply pressure to Tom Brady as well as stop the run out of sub packages, but it's going to be an easier task without a talented player like Gronk causing havoc for the Jets in the pass and run.

By RICHARD SHAWSun Advocate publisher
It doesn't seem it was that long ago that an election was held that determined local leadership in communities throughout Carbon County. And now once again it is time to start thinking about the Nov. 2, 2010 election, especially if one want to run for office.
With a myriad of federal, state and local positions open, those who are politically motivated will have a choice of positions to run for.
At the federal level there is one six year senate term in contention. It is the seat presently held by Senator Bob Bennett, who will just happen to be in Price on Thursday and Friday for the Rural Business Conference. The second congressional district seat, in which Carbon County's boundaries fall, held by Rep. Jim Matheson, will also be up for grabs.
At the state level both the governor and lieutenant governor's slots will be open, but the election will only fill them for two years since Gov. Gary Herbert was put in the state's top spot with the resignation of Jon Huntsman to become the U.S. Ambassador to China. Then he appointed Greg Bell as lieutenant governor.
Closer to home both seats in the house of the Utah State Legislature will be up this year as well. Both District 69 (that represents an area from west Price east in the county, presently held by Christine Watkins of Miller Creek) and District 67 (that represents the western one third of the county, presently held by Patrick Painter of Mona) will be open for election.
One seat for the Utah State Board of Education will also be open (presently held by Dixie Allen of Vernal). This seat represents 12 counties including Carbon. In addition one position each, in voting districts four (Castle Heights, Castle Heights north, north Price, northeast Price, held by Wayne Woodward) and five (Wellington north and south, east county, East Carbon north and south, held by Ruby Cordova) on the Carbon School School Board will also be up for grabs.
At the county level the majority of the elected officials seats are open. Two four year commissioner seats are open (held by Bill Krompel and John Jones) the country attorney (held by Gene Strate), the county clerk/auditor (held by Robert Pero), the county treasurer (held by Marilyn Graham), the county assessor (held by Nancy Ferderber), the county recorder (held by Vikki Barnett), and the county sheriff's position (James Cordova) are up for election in November.
In the judicial branch of government there will be retention elections for both the court of appeals and the two judges seats (6 years) in the Seventh District Court. Justice Court judges will also have retention elections in Carbon County, Helper, Wellington and East Carbon.
The filing fees for the various offices vary ranging from $1,305 for the U.S. Senate seat to $13.20 for Utah House of Representative seats.
The filing period for all these offices takes place March 12-19.

The US
trailed 2-0 to Norway in the team's second game of the World
Championships but ended up winning 4-2 thanks to four third period goals. Derek Stepan, Ryan McDonagh,
and Chris Kreider all tallied assists during today's game.
Stepan has garnered tremendous reviews for his play during
the tournament, and has recorded three assists during the tournament. Stepan has also been a staple on the power
play. Obviously Stepan played against
higher level competition this season with the Rangers, but it's good to see him
producing on the pp no matter who the opponent is. Stepan may just be the best playmaker the
Rangers currently possess, on their NHL roster or in the pipeline, so he'll be
expected to play a bigger role on the man advantage going forward. Any and all good experience is a positive
thing for Stepan.
Kreider has picked up a goal and an assist in the tournament
and has drawn rave reviews. This
tournament has been his first action since breaking his jaw, and it looks like
he's beginning to take the next step. The big knock on Kreider has been that he has yet to dominate at Boston College,
and that it might not be the wisest decision to promote him to higher level
competition until he does so. Kreider's
coach at BC has stated that Kreider will return to school for his junior
season, but that's still no sure thing. Our own Jess Rubenstein believes that the Rangers are lobbying hard to
get Kreider signed. Go here for Jess's
full explanation, but he thinks that the contract handed out to Ryan Bourque
will influence Kreider, and that Stepan is acting as an ambassador for the organization
during the tournament. Jess believes
that Kreider could well be influenced by the prospect of getting to play with
his good friends Stepan and Bourque and that the threat of another injury could
be enough to push Kreider to sign.
Marian Gaborik went scoreless in two games during the World
Championships for Slovakia.

Video: Gas Prices Continue to Increase
Video: Sen. Schumer (D-NY) talks about gas prices
(AP/WGRZ) The average price for a gallon of gasoline across the U.S. is up to $3.67 a gallon, but it's even higher in Western New York.
That's an increase of 12 cents in the past week and 42 cents in the past month.
According to the Associated Press, Oil analyst Patrick DeHaan, with GasBuddy.com, says the reasonfor the spike is the rising price of oil.
DeHaan says he's surprised to see the price jump so high in February when demand is normally low, and he's now concerned about what might happen next month.
DeHaan explains, "traditionally gas prices rise anywhere from 40 to 60 cents a gallon in late March through early May." He says if that happens this year "it will easily send the national average over $4.00 a gallon."
According to gasbuddy.com, the current average gas price in New York State is: $3.96. In WNY, it is $3.93. That's up almost 25 cents from January, and it is also up from a year ago, when we were paying $3.83. And it shows no signs of slowing down.
We're now seeing $4.00 gas locally. One station is charging $4.09 for a gallon of regular in downtown Buffalo. Even in the suburbs, where gas is cheaper, prices are still up big time.
Last year, Western New York gas prices peaked at $4.12 for a gallon of regular. This year, drivers are worried we're on pace to surpass that.
"That's a tough question to answer," said AAA Spokesperson Steve Pacer. "AAA, nationally, is predicting that the average will be lower than last year when it hits its peak, and also it will happen sooner."
That means that Western new York could hit its peak price in March this year, assuming prices do not continue to climb into April.
The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Make A Wish: 'For a week we didn't have to worry'
DORENA, Ore. -- The six kids in the Bennett household, ages 3 to 10, play hard.
Izzy Wilmarth, 9, struggles just a bit more than the others.
He suffers from a rare genetic disease -- ataxia telangiectasia syndrome, or AT.
"There's good days and bad days," said Joanne Bennett, Izzy's great aunt, "when he just don't have the energy and the strength to get up, and we just deal with it day by day."
The progressive disorder affects Izzy's nervous and immune system, making it hard for him to walk, speak and maintain balance.
"We have to shut down a lot of stuff we used to do because Izzy can't do it," Bennet said.
For example, Izzy can't safely get around the Bennett's old two-story home. They tried to sell but couldn't, so they're tearing the house down and building a new house -- themselves -- to make Izzy's life easier.
Most kids with AT only live into their teens. That is where the Make A Wish Foundation came in.
Izzy wanted desperately to go to Disneyland, but Bennett said a trip like that isn't possible for the family of 8.
Make A Wish took the entire family on the trip of a lifetime.
Izzy still pours over the photos from their Christmas-time trip.
Bennett said Make A Wish took care of everything, treating them like royalty from the flight to skipping every line at Disneyland.
"For a week we didn't have to worry about doctors appointments and stuff, we just worried about having fun," she said.
The vacation is a memory they cherish, a feeling of fun they try to recapture in everyday moments like riding a bike and living for now -- because no one knows what the future will bring for Izzy.

BUFFALO,NY --- A plan for two failing high schools in Buffalo, East and Lafayette, has to be resubmitted to the state tomorrow.
Superintendent Doctor Pamela Brown took a lot of heat this week for delaying a meeting with the state scheduled for today, so she could see the President while he was in town.
She's refused to answer questions about this, until 2 on your side caught up with her tonight.
2 on your side asked Dr Pamela Brown, Superintendent of Buffalo Public Schools if she met with the President Thursday. Brown replied yes.
Dr. Brown, asked state education officials to delay her meeting with them, which was scheduled for Thursday until Friday. Brown requested the changes, so she could meet Obama during his stop in Buffalo.
The purpose of that pushed back meeting with state education officials was to help the Buffalo School District comply with state and federal requirements in its plan for turning around two failing high schools.
2 on your side asked Brown if it was worth delaying her trip to Albany. "I'll be heading there tonight and I'll be there tomorrow," Brown said. "We have been in contact with the state education department all week to make sure some of the documents that needed to be revised met with their approval."
The meeting with education officials will occur just hours before the district must submit a final revision of the plan. If a satisfactory plan is not submitted by Friday night, students may have to be removed from the failing high schools and enrolled at schools in good standing.
2 on your side asked Dr. Brown was her priority is, considering there's two failing high schools at stake.
"My priority is the children and I'm on way into here which has to do with read to succeed," Brown said.
Dr. Pamela Brown did not want to comment about what changes were made to the turnaround plan that will be submitted Friday.

SYRACUSE Playing short-handed without one of its top scorers, and in an offensive slump the last two games, Syracuse was desperately looking for a spark on Saturday.
Enter freshman forward Jerami Grant and a couple of other inexperienced players in sophomore guard Trevor Cooney and freshman center DaJuan Coleman. With senior super sub James Southerland unavailable due to eligibility issues, Grant scored a career-high 13 points, and the three youngsters combined for 25 overall, helping lead No. 7 SU to a 72-61 comeback victory over Villanova.
With a season-high crowd of 27,586 in the Carrier Dome looking on, the Orange (16-1 overall, 4-0 Big East) received 22 points from junior C. J. Fair and pulled away over the final 10 minutes to keep its nations best home win streak alive at 34 straight.
According to a university news release, the 6-foot-8 Southerland, who sat on the bench in street clothes, will not participate in competition until further notice. He ranks second on the team in scoring (13.6 ppg.) and is third in rebounding (5.2). He also led the team in 3-pointers made (33) and is SUs best baseline defender.
So SU coach Jim Boeheim had to turn to his youngsters for valuable minutes and production without Southerland and leading scorer Brandon Triche, who was saddled with foul trouble.
The freshmen won the game for us, said Boeheim, who would not comment on why Southerland was forced to sit. Theyve all played meaningful minutes, but I told them before the game they would play a key role today.
Cooney finally broke out in the second half in place of Triche, who was on the bench with four fouls. He knocked down a pair of big 3-pointers to cap off a 17-4 run that helped the Orange break away.
And Coleman asserted himself more underneath with six points and a fine defensive effort against Villanovas big front line.
The freshmen have worked hard in practice, and today took it to the court, said Fair, who scored 16 second-half points, including 11 over the first six minutes. Jerami was really strong at both ends. Trevor finally hit some shots, and DaJuan was really aggressive.
Grant entered the game with just over 14 minutes left in the first half and SU having scored just six points. He immediately scored on a put-back, added a follow-up dunk, a nice inside move and a free throw to help the Orange stay within 29-27 at halftime.
Its all about hustling, being aggressive and trying to make plays, said Grant, who played a season-high 29 minutes. Coach told me to be ready after we heard James couldnt play. I admit I was a little nervous last night. But playing extra minutes really helped me get into a rhythm.
Said Boeheim: Jerami was tremendous. He made some nice offensive moves.
Boeheim then went almost exclusively to Fair to begin the second half.
Coach just kept calling my number, said Fair, who finished 7 of 12 from the floor. Without James, I knew I had to look for my shots more.
Still, Villanova (11-5, 2-1) hung around and trailed by only a point with 11 minutes remaining. Thats when Cooney played a pivotal role.
He had air-balled his only two 3-pointers of the first half, and missed a wide-open three in the second half. But after deflecting a Villanova pass, Cooney sprinted down court and buried a 3-pointer from the corner.
After another Wildcat turnover, he dialed in another three to give SU its biggest lead, 61-47, with 5:48 to play.
We know he can make those shots, Boeheim said of Cooney.
SU is now off until a big road game at Big East favorite Louisville next Saturday.
Cooney said shooters always believe the next shot is going down. I was prepared to play more, and coach actually ran a few plays for me. I shot those last two in good rhythm.
While SU is struggling from the floor (11-for-52 on threes the last three games), the Orange is finding its stride at the foul line. SU was 24 of 30 Saturday, including 8 of 10 in the final 1� minutes, after a 17-for-18 performance at Providence.
This was one of the grittiest, toughest wins weve had in awhile, Boeheim said. Our offense wasnt going for long periods, but we really competed on defense (holding Villanova to 31 percent shooting) against a very physical team.
JayVaughn Pinkston led Villanova, which saw a seven-game win streak snapped, with 12 points, and Mouphtau Yarou added 11.

hi all
i am trying to configuring mail server in ubuntu 9. first i want to test in local network.
anybody can send me the configuration with postfix.
iam very thankful to them.
I am unfortunately no help here, though I am watching this thread with interest, because I too am interested in making a mail server using Ubuntu 9.04
My Website: http://ttgale.com
My Website Uptime: http://img.uptimeprj.com/holastickbo...dee9bae2e2.png
My Server Specs: AMD Athlon X2 3800+, 2gb DDR2 RAM, 1.5TB HDD, Ubuntu 9.10
My Gaming PC: Intel Core 2 Duo 2.93ghz, 4gb DDR2 RAM, 9800GTX+
Satish, the default Postfix package with Ubuntu come pre-configured to send mail internally. You can test with the mail program to see if it works.
If you could be more specific as to what you want to accomplish I can provide more detailed answers. I have setup multiple email servers for both internal and external mail delivery.Code:echo "Does this work??" | mail -s "Test internal email" email@example.com
jro! It's been a long time! Where have you been hiding?
Not much here. The forums are continuing. I did an upgrade on the vbulletin software and the new theme looks clean. I'm thinking of getting rid of ads altogether for members when they log in. They were really distracting and I think they were discouraging new members from participating. I may just leave them off for a while altogether too. I'll wait and see.
I have a new job too and learning a lot of new things, but less hands on than I used to be. Beezlebubsbum and I have been the most active members recently. It would be good to have you back.
Thanks Peter, its good to be back. I honestly haven't been on any forums much in the last 2 years. I tried the Ubuntu forums but I got tired of the sheer volume.

Naval Academy Gospel Choir: Singing Toward Leadership
Posted on: January 29, 2014 08:00 EST by Lt. Jessica Crownover
A lively stream of midshipmen saunters into the rehearsal room in Alumni Hall excited to see each other and talk about their weekends.
At 6:40 p.m., everyone in the room is called to silence and joins hands; it is time for opening prayer, a time to break away from the stressors of being a midshipman and to be in an environment that promotes praise and fellowship.
Asking for direction and for the Lord's word to uplift them, they break prayer and music starts – rehearsal has begun and the lively sounds of, "He has done wondrous deeds, praise the Lord," explode into the room.
A group of about 65 midshipmen gather every Monday evening to praise and worship through song, and without seeing the immediate correlation, gain skillsets that will allow them to become the leaders of our Navy and Marine Corps team.
The Naval Academy Gospel Choir is composed of 16 first-class midshipmen, 12 second-class midshipmen, 21 third-class midshipmen, 16 fourth-class midshipmen. Their band is a group of four professional musicians. Their director, Karla Scott, has been with the choir since 2006. The officer representative is U.S. Marine Corps LtCol. Mike Williams, and the enlisted representative is Quartermaster Chief Cindy Ragland.
Despite the academic and athletic requirements midshipmen need to fulfill to graduate, this talented group of individuals choose to come together to praise and worship God through song, and they have been for 28 years.
"It's kind of a relaxing time for people to spend time with God, spend time with their friends, and forget everything that's going on in the Hall," said midshipman first-class Dwayne Saunders, Gospel Choir President. "When you come here, you can forget about it all for an hour and a half or so."
Since 1985, the USNA Gospel Choir prepares full concert repertoire to sing all over the country and inspire those who listen of their mission of leading others to the Gospel as well as conducting the mission of diversity outreach for the Naval Academy.
"It makes me feel honored and excited to see how we grow and reach more audiences with our message," said midshipman fourth-class Kassandra Harriott. "It is much more than putting on a performance."
Aside from the incentives to keep grades up in order to travel, midshipmen will not be able to share their time together in choir without being academically eligible. The choir has performed in Newark, N.J. They will be headed to Houston, Texas in January for their annual Martin Luther King Tour and finish out their travels in March with their spring break tour in Alabama and Louisiana. In 2011, the choir went on their first international tour to South Korea.
The choir environment is a way to praise God without judgment, within a community that openly shares the same love and dedication toward their faith, said Saunders. The encouragement that some midshipmen need to get through their week or even through difficult times is fueled by the family that exists in the choir.
"We struggle together, grow as a team, and conquer the tasks and challenges that face us all, as a team," said midshipman second-class Tiana Williams.
Although they do not get to travel as often as they have in the past due to budget constraints, these individuals continue to come back to rehearsal every Monday. The choir helps each student set higher academic standards than they may expect from themselves, said Williams.
They get weekly inspiration from each other, the music and from their director. They learn time management and how personal growth can be found in various forms. The resounding reason why they participate? It gives them an opportunity to praise God through song. The sense of community provides a support system that lets each and every one of them know that they are not on their own; they have God and each other to guide them through any hardship or joy brought upon them, said Scott.
"We want them to know what it means to be a leader in all facets of their personality," said Scott.
While these performers share their talents with each other and with the audiences they reach, it is easy to forget that after four years of academics they will receive their commission into the Navy or Marine Corps. Gospel choir is a great part of their military training. Each choir member offers a different perspective on life. Different backgrounds build the strength that allows for diversity outreach.
"Working with a diverse group of people is definitely going to apply in the fleet because you need to know how to interact," said Saunders. "I've learned to empower people in different ways."
When out in the fleet, these young men and women will be able to serve their sailors and Marines.
"Values of good leadership, whether they are found in a holy book or not, are quite universal," said Scott. "Everyone understands the universal language of excellence. Using the vehicle of music to really undergird them, strengthen them and really encourage them with what they say they want to do."It is now 7:55 p.m. and after a little more than an hour of singing, laughing, and worship, everyone circles up and holds hands. Prayer requests are taken for those that need a little more spiritual support and praise reports are given to reemphasize God's works. After people have said their piece, someone in the room closes the rehearsal with a prayer to take them forward throughout the week. After the final amen, you hear a resounding "HUG SOMEBODY," and everyone does just that.

As much as we love experimenting with of-the-moment colors and new silhouettes, we often find that it's hard to resist a tried-and-true wardrobe staple. Case in point: cuffed jeans, a timeless style that's looking chic anew! We're crazy about the classic look of cuffed denim and appreciate their versatility and universal appeal. Whether you decide to team them with luxe evening pieces a la Ashley Olsen or use them to showcase ankle-strap shoes like Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, the styling options are endless, which is why we're showcasing a few top-notch outfit ideas in today's How They Wear story!
One thing we especially like about this denim style is that it perfectly shows off a pair of ankle-strap shoes, which Rosie Huntington-Whiteley and Pixie Geldof both aptly demonstrated. The former was snapped arriving at LAX this summer wearing an off-duty ensemble consisting of an Isabel Marant leather jacket, Chloe ankle-strap flats, and a pair of J Brand cuffed jeans. While the model/actress' outfit is a bit boyish-thanks to the combination of slouchy jeans, a tough leather jacket, and a simple gray t-shirt-the cuffed jeans really spotlight her dainty, delicate shoes, which give the overall look a nice dose of femininity. Geldof showed off a similar idea at a Ray-Ban event in London earlier this month. She picked classic staples-a blue and white striped shirt and a leopard bag-and then cuffed her dark jeans to allow her statement-making red ankle-strap sandals to take center stage.
In addition to showcasing ankle-strap heels, cuffed jeans also work well when paired with another one of the season's hot-ticket items: cozy sweaters. For example, Rihanna was snapped leaving a hotel in New York back in September in a laidback outfit consisting of a striped top, black creepers, and our jeans du jour. We love how the perennially cool songstress teamed her denim with a pair of creepers, which added a tough-girl vibe we adore. Additionally, we're smitten with the way model Frida Gustavsson interpreted today's trend, as seen on Stockholm Streetstyle. Her slouchy separates, including an oversized coral sweater and boyfriend jeans, provided the perfect canvas to show off a statement necklace and created an enviable, easygoing outfit.
While cuffed jeans are always an excellent choice for casual daytime attire, they work equally well for a night out too. Simply look to Ashley Olsen and Rachel Bilson for inspiration, as both style mavens teamed their rolled-up denim with pointy-toe heels and chic jackets to create party-ready ensembles. Olsen attended a play at the Second Stage Theatre in New York this summer wearing a blazer, top, and bag by The Row with vintage jeans and Manolo Blahnik shoes. While jeans are usually reserved for more casual affairs, Olsen effectively dressed up her pick by adding sophisticated, all-noir pieces, resulting in one au courant evening look. Bilson was on the same chic page when she attended a celebration for her December Nylon cover in Los Angeles earlier this month. She made her Goldsign Jenny Jeans ($290) in Debut red-carpet ready by adding a Vanessa Bruno jacket, The Row tee, Christian Louboutin pumps, and a Miu Miu clutch. We especially love her metallic topper, which instantly enlivened her ensemble and added just the right amount of glitz.
Are you interested in emulating these looks? We're guessing you might already have a pair of jeans to cuff, but if you don't-or you simply want new ones-fret not because we've rounded up and excellent selection! If you love the loose, casual fit of Rihanna and Huntington-Whiteley's iterations, you'll surely covet Current/Elliott's The Roller Jeans ($195), Victoria's Secret's Ex-Boyfriend Straight Leg Jeans ($70), and AG Adriano Goldschmied's The Tomboy Ag-ed Jeans ($225). Craving a slim-fitting pair a la Geldof? We think James Jeans' Sabrina Cuffed Slim Straight Jeans ($124) and Hudson's Bacara Crop Straight Cuffed Jeans ($165) in Oldmill are excellent options. Finally, if you want to emulate Olsen and Bilson's versions, we wholeheartedly recommend Paige's Jimmy Jimmy Skinny Jeans ($179) in Rebel Without A Cause and True Religion's Cameron Boyfriend Jeans ($262) in Chattanooga. Whatever pair you decide to pick up this season, we guarantee you'll be stepping out in style!-Erin Fitzpatrick

CANTON Doris E. Dominie joked shes the young chick in the group.
At 100 years old, Mrs. Dominie is the youngest of the four centenarians now residing at United Helpers Assisted Living Neighborhood on Maplewood Campus, State Street Road.
Shes a few years behind her fellow residents Sherman L. Ayers and Ann K. Scott, who are 104, and Allie E. Harden, 103.
Following a nationwide trend, a growing number of the facilitys residents are well into their 90s, said Patience F. Boswell, the facilitys activities director.
The 144 residents at Maplewood include 54 who are 90 or older.
Mrs. Boswell notices common traits among those who make it to 100 and beyond.
These are people who are very positive, Mrs. Boswell said. They seem to have a particular will to keep going.
Shes also observed a connection between longevity and those who have a strong support network of family and close friends.
They all have a lot of visitors and support, she said. I think it really makes a difference.
Sometimes, she said, just wanting to stay around to see the next great-grandchild arrive is enough motivation to keep older people going.
When Bernard A. Besio, a social worker, started his United Helpers position in 1975, people were considered old when they reached 65, he said.
That was 38 years ago and a lot has changed in the world of geriatrics.
Older people are much more health-conscious and active than they used to be, he said. Theyre jogging, theyre biking.
He believes the facilitys oldest resident was 120 when she died in the 1980s.
That woman was born when Lincoln was still president, Mr. Besio said.
Many older people also enjoy the fact they know a lot of history younger generations find interesting.
They are a tremendous resource and they are proud of that, Mr. Besio said. They enjoy talking about what happened 50 or 60 years ago.
Genetics and avoiding depression are two other factors that have been linked to longevity, he said.
Mrs. Dominie reached the century milestone in February.
A lifelong farmer, she said she worked hard and never had time to think about getting older.
Im very fortunate. It was a hard life, but it was a good life, she said.
She also tries to learn something new every day by asking questions and getting out as much as she can. She still participates in outings to Walmart, the Akwesasne Mohawk casino and boat trips.
I dont want to just sit here like a dumbbell, she joked.
Mrs. Scott, the facilitys oldest resident, spent years teaching in a one-room schoolhouse in Morley.
A Massachusetts native who moved to Colton, Mr. Ayers worked as an electrician for Niagara Mohawk. Many of his Colton friends visit him.
Mrs. Harden, a Colton native who also lived on Wellesley Island, worked as a nurses aide and had a daughter.

Read: Oscar Lindberg Is Really Impressing
At Hockey's Future, Oscar Lindberg is praised as being one of the better prospects playing in the European Pro Leagues.
Lindberg has had a big offensive year with 10 goals and 16 assists and they say that the scoring is not coming at the expense of his defense and two-way game "which remains Lindberg's greatest asset."
Describing him they write that Lindberg is a "smart two-way player " that is excellent on faceoffs and should complement the Rangers.
READ MORE on Lindberg.
Adam Rotter: Maybe it is because the team has been so lackluster in previous years, but the thing that really draws me to Lindberg is his ability on faceoffs.

Bracing for The Big One: Is Oregon ready?
EUGENE, Ore. - It's been over 300 years since a major earthquake, like the one in Japan, has struck the Pacific Northwest.
And experts say it's not a matter of if, but when the next big one will strike.
"It's gonna be a very damaging, a very seriously damaging earthquake," said Oregon State Professor Emeritus Bob Yeats.
Coastal cities would be underwater, buildings would be in ruins, and thousands of people dead or missing.
"We all saw the videos of the tsunami of Sundai in Japan, we would expect something very similar here," said Yeats.
He said at this point in time, he doesn't think Oregon is prepared to handle a 9.0 magnitude earthquake the way Japan has.
"They're much better prepared than we are at the present time," Yeats said.
The state's infrastructure will be hard hit, too.
According to Oregon Department of Transportation Spokesman Rick Little, bridges will fail and some roads will be impassable.
"You would see at least five complete bridge failures, you would see more than 30 bridges suffer extensive damage," he said.
Highway 101 and many roads connecting Interstate 5 to the coast will see landslides and breaks in the roadway, stranding whole communities.
"There would be pockets of population centers that could very well be isolated for a period of time," Little said.
Local dams including Lookout Point and Dexter Dam could also suffer extensive damage.
"It could be as significant as some cracking along the crest of the dam or you know it could be some severe settlement of the dam," said Jeremy Brittan with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
On Thursday, April 28, and Friday, April 29, KVAL News will look at how an earthquake could affect Oregon. We'll talk with local experts and government agencies to see what they're doing to prepare for the next big one. And find out how major bridges, highways and dams could withstand a 9.0 magnitude quake.

Part of being in the Navy involves traveling. Another part of the Navy sometimes involves drinking. Since I don't do the latter, when the former occurs, I end up being the designated driver. I like being social, so I hang around just until the night vaguely teeters towards silliness and then I leave. (Of course, I make sure everyone is back at the hotel.)
We always end up staying at one particular Hilton in DC. I know all the staff, know what their kids are up to, and even email the manager when I want a room. It is a good situation we have. (Although with the tight travel budget, my office no longer travels. Which is fine.)
On one wild night, I was awoken at two in the morning by the sound of shrieking coming from the courtyard below. Unfortunately, I recognized the voice as one of the office ladies who I work with. (She was laughing like a hyena at a joke.) I wrapped a pillow around my ears and tried to sleep. In the morning (and every month or so) I remind the shrieker of her drunken yells. She now (two years later) tries to deny it was her. But the advantage of being the one sober one? You remember.
Another guy staying at another Hilton (named walterwhitmanwhite on reddit) actually heard some commotion at two in the morning, but thought nothing of it. He awoke to bullets scattered around his room:
Imagine you're sleeping in a hotel bed and you're woken up by a loud noise. You get up in a groggy and disoriented state and assume it's coming from the guests on the floor above, so you go back to sleep. You wake in the morning to discover that your hotel room is riddled with bullet holes and you're probably lucky to be alive.
That was reality for one man who checked into a Hilton hotel in Phoenix, Ariz. on Thursday. Reddit user "walterwhitmanwhite" posted several photos of the aftermath on Reddit Friday morning in a post titled, "I nearly got shot last night and I didn't even know it." The photos, which show shattered glass, peppered drywall and even a spent bullet by his bedside, are incredible:
Moral of the story: avoid Hilton Hotels at two in the morning.

Date of birth
My WLA´s VIN and left case number leads to early '43. case is propably no. 335 that year.
Q: How to find more specific date/month/planet?
Limey_Dave wrote:If your WLA is early 1943 it will have engine number 42WLA**** and case (belly) numbers 42-335.
Case numbers for each model year started September 1st,so case numbers 42-335 would be the 335th pair of 45" cases machined from September 1st 1941.
From 1942-45 there were 7 types of WLA,all with engine number starting 42WLA.
If you give the first two digits of engine number with stars for the remaining numbers (42WLA52**) and the case numbers,I may be able to pin it down more.
Chris Haynes wrote:There should be date codes cast into the cases.
