When we first learned the The Hives were stepping out of their American touring hiatus and coming to Orange County, we couldn't wait to hear their signature audience engaging, garage rock/punk band sound. Currently promoting their self-produced studio release Lex Hives, the title coming from the Roman term meaning "Law of the Hives," we were anxious to join this Hives Nation and channel our inner punk rocker, crowd surfing fan who just doesn't give a fuck!
The Observatory, known for being an intimate venue with a quality sound system and security that lets performers and audiences engage each other pretty unrestricted, was the perfect place for one of rock's best live acts to unleash all their greatness. Lead vocalist Howlin' Pelle Almqvist leaped onto speakers, jived as he thrusted his mic stand and shouted into his microphone with jokes and banter in typical Hives fashion. His brother guitarist Nicholaus Arson followed suit - literally as all band members were dressed in penguin like tuxedos with top hats and shiny shoes - with similar stage antics which lasted throughout the entire 90-minute set.

"It took a long time to make this album," yelled Almqvist in what seemed less like a Swede accent and more like an over-the-top ventriloquist. "This next song is about this night exactly," he said as he began singing the deep mysterious lyrics of "My Time is Coming." The crowd sang along hands in the air praising the heavens, after all they've waited years for the Hives return. As the bass kick of the hard hitting drums and elongated guitar riffs continued, those in the pit where having the time of their lives moshing each other to no avail. But they weren't the only ones, everywhere you looked the audience was shaking their hands in the air and jumping up and down. Even the security guards caught on to The Hives electrifying on stage presence and energy as they bobbed their heads a little.
Playing songs like "Two-Timing Touch and Broken Bones" and "Walk Idiot Walk" from 2004's Tyrannosaurus Hives they manged to reel us in and keep us entertained with their catchy-yet-defiant hooks, precise musicality, hilarious banter and by far the best dance moves we've seen out there. We sang along to the lyrics "they say this is all you need to get by... the truth is baby, it's lie-ie-ie-ie" like if we were the Rolling Stones along with everyone else sweating their asses off in the ridiculously crowded room. Vigilante Carlstroem on guitars, Dr. Matt Destruction on bass and Chris Dangerous on drums also interacted with the sarcastically arrogant brothers and helped exaggerate the jokes as Almqvist told the audience to "Observe this Santa Ana!"
Their sound fused seamlessly with each other on the crazed choruses of "Hate to Say I Told You So," from 2009's Your New Favourite Band, the song that ultimately put them in the mainstream limelight. Their shameless expertise didn't go unnoticed, "Have you seen some good rock and roll tonight?" Almqvist yelled at the audience. "It's a rhetorical question," he laughed. Hell ya we saw some good rock-n-roll filled with absurd stories, hand-clapping, prances, scissor kicks and instruments being thrown into the crowd. They came back to do three more songs for the encore which included the crowd stepping off to the sides, as if parting the red sea, for Almqvist to step down into the audience to finish the end of "Tick, Tick, Boom" from 2007's The Black and White Album. It was the perfect grand finale to such a dynamic evening.

Critical Bias: Though I normally cover dance music festivals and shows it was refreshing to hear some bad ass guitar riffs, drums and vocals that reminded me of my rebellious teenager hay days.
The Crowd: From the old punk rock fans (yes white hair and all) to the pre-teens falling in love with the madness.
Overheard: I could barely hear my own voice, let alone anyone next to me over the exaggerated vocals and outstanding instruments.
Random Notebook Dump: I was excited to hear all the old classics, but was also pleasantly surprised that the new Lex Hives songs sound just as impressive and even more awesome live.

Wang, Jia, and Yu Xie. 2014. "Feeling Good About the Iron Rice Bowl: Economic Sectors and Happiness in Post-Reform Urban China." PSC Research Report No. 14-811. January 2014.
Situated in China's market transition, this study examines the relationship between economic sectors and individuals' happiness in post-reform urban China. Using datasets from the Chinese General Social Surveys 2003, 2006 and 2008, we find that workers in the state sector enjoy a subjective premium in well-being – reporting significantly higher levels of happiness than their counterparts in the private sector. We also find that those remaining in the state sector report being significantly happier than do former state sector workers who moved into the private sector, whether the move was voluntary or involuntary. Sectoral disparity in the allocation of social welfare benefits serves as the primary nexus linking state-to-private mobility and happiness. Those who made voluntarily state-to-private moves experienced a trade-off in enjoying higher payoffs while losing job security, whereas involuntary downward mobility left long-term psychological scars on those who experienced layoffs or unemployment.
Country of focus: China.

The Enemy Below Reviews
The depiction of the action is pretty good by the standards of the day, although the plot is somewhat predictable. The destroyer escort depicted is accurate as to class, and actual crew of a real US destroyer escort were extras in the film. The U-Boat set is less impressive, and fails to capture the cramped nature of the small German boats in the Atlantic. Das Boot still remains the best of this genre, but Enemy Below is pretty competent as to tactics and devices used. Based on a book by a former British Navy officer, the whole scenario closely resembles similar ram-and-sink incidents in the North Atlantic convoy actions.
Robert Mitchum played a number of naval officers during his long and varied career, but this is one of his better gutsy performances.
Mitchum and Curt Jurgens, by now established actors, are portrayed as two philosophers in uniform. The humane, as opposed to the often told inhumane, side of war and the toll it takes on these two captains is refreshingly explored.
Our U.S. ship and crew are bored floating around in the south Atlantic. They get a new captain who the ship's aged doctor befriends. Mitchum, fresh out of the hospital after having survived at sea, is treated skeptically by the crew who believe he is inexperienced for the job. They soon learn he isn't as bad as they imagined. But where he got his sub chasing skills we don't know. Hey, its a movie ok?
The film was based on a popular book at the time, The Enemy Below. Director Dick Powell makes an over selling trailer about the film, but that's what trailers often do, oversell.
I tend to watch trailers after I watch a film and not often find them very honest. For me, such was the case here.
Filmed in Cinemascope the movie is pretty well done, but the depth charges got to be endless and like two heavyweight boxers getting tired of throwing punches, the film sinks to the canvass as we wait for this one to end.
It does end, a creative but rather unrealistic one. Both captains sharing cigarettes on a ship was flat out Hollywood and to me, not real honest. After an hour and a half of trying to kill each other, this film becomes a morality play. Maybe things like this really did happen at sea?
Run Silent, Run Deep is my pick over The Enemy Below as an action flick. The scene that sunk this film for me was the Germans singing an old drinking song as they were near death's door on the bottom. By that time I got the message about what war does to combatants. The German captain spells it out clear as day when he complains that humans were taken out of wars.
I would wish to see a vintage WWII submarine film where for once the enemy is not sweating, in their underwear, running around oily and desperate. Where, unlike this film, the captain is not aged and tired of war. Of course, our Navy men are fresh as daisys, playing cards or doing whatever sailors do for relaxation.
To its credit however we don't see too many scenes of carnage in this late fifties sea chase. What we do see is two crews, two ships and two captains alone at sea doing what they'd rather not be doing.
There in a nutshell is the summation of The Enemy Below. The irony of it all. One could have just as well titled this one The Enemy Above.
NOTES about the film:
1 Curt J�rgens as Captain Von Stolberg in reality was imprisoned by order of Nazi propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels during World War II.
2 Theodore Bikel played the second in command to Curt Jurgens in reality was an immigrant Austrian Jew who was born in Vienna, Austria, in 1924. He and his family fled to America by way of Palestine in 1937.
3 The U-boat in the film is very unrealistic in its size. It has passageways and side rooms, with the captain having a private stateroom off the control center. No World War II U-boat had staterooms and the captain's bunk was little more than a shelf across a small passage from the radio room, which was itself merely a small closet.
4 The crew in this film is also much neater and cleaner than a real crew would have been. (For a more realistic portrayal of life aboard a U-boat, see Das Boot).
5 The 1966 Star Trek episode "Balance of Terror" is closely based on this film, with the USS Enterprise cast as the destroyer and the Romulan vessel as the U-boat.

Despite its faults, though, "The Enemy Below" is still an interesting study in post World War II drama. Put into the context of the decade following the war, this story seems to be as much a commentary on the era of the Marshall Plan as it is about the matching of wits of two experienced sea captains. As such, it probably does deserve a place as a war classic.
This was a pretty decent movie. It's about an American submarine chasing a German one during World War II, which doesn't sound like all that interesting a plot synopsis to me. The back of the DVD described it as "a game of cat-and-mouse," and, honestly, that's what it felt like. It was actually fascinating to watch the German captain trying everything he knew to get away from the American sub, so he could complete his mission. A bit of political stuff about war, but the movie didn't feel like a political diatribe.
My only real complaint about the movie was some of the stuff at the end. The ending just didn't feel right. All of them seem to be peacefully co-inhabiting. Is there *no one* on either sub who's going to react negatively toward the other side? Other than that, though, pretty good movie. Probably wouldn't watch it again, though.

EDM's Five Biggest Hacks
We like Hardwell as a person, but we think he might be a robot built by marketers to make them money.
What makes someone a hack? A hack purports to be something he's not. It's a person who holds himself above others on false grounds. The entertainment industry is full of them, and tons of people get into the music industry for the wrong reasons.
We can't help ourselves from feeling that a highly paid musician should probably, we don't know, give a shit. If you just want to be an entertainer, that's cool, just say so. Afrojack said he just wants to be a pop star. And he is! That's being upfront with yourself and others. But there are tons of people in this game who just suck. They're in it for ego. They may or may not actually contribute anything but a face.
Here are EDM's five biggest hacks.

This fresh-faced Tiësto protégé is sweeping the charts and topping the lineups of every major festival in the world. He started DJing at the age of 12 (what?) and got signed to his first record label a year later (calling shenanigans). His music is critically meh, but worse things have been released. He's a nice enough guy, so what makes us say he's a hack? We had the chance to interview the kid before one of his sets at Story Miami, and we asked the rather basic question, "What was the hardest thing you faced on your road to success?" Unbelievably, he couldn't think of a single hardship. Not one obstacle came to mind. What are you, Hardwell? A fucking robot? Are you a human being at all? Did someone in a suit just find you and think, "He's got a good face for
billboards Times Square, let's sign him and make some money"? Since no one is perfect, the only reasonable explanation is you're not emotionally invested in music at all. Or you're scared of being honest because your handlers run your life. In either case, you're just a tool.

Japanese Americans, Japanese reconnect to restore ties lost in World War IIBreaking News
A long-standing bridge between Japan and Japanese Americans was blown up by World War II. Under a cloud of suspicion after Pearl Harbor, most Americans of Japanese ancestry were forced into relocation camps.
To demonstrate loyalty to America, many forsook their cultural ties, and two generations grew up severed from their roots.
"Historically, there hasn't been a real close connection with the Japanese Americans and Japan," said San Francisco attorney Kaz Maniwa, who co-chaired the gathering. "People just assumed there is this close connection. Because of the war, there has been a lot of mixed feelings."
Their ordeal was compounded before and after the war by racism.
"Japanese-American nisei (second-generation immigrants) often shielded their children from things that are Japanese, Japanese language particularly, and tried to have them assimilate as much as possible into the mainstream of American society," Maniwa said.
Japanese Consul General for San Francisco, Makoto Yamanaka, who co-chaired the gathering, said the impact was felt on both sides of the Pacific.
"Japanese people do not know much about the history and experience of Japanese Americans," Yamanaka said.
The passage of time and rising interest in Japanese popular culture by younger Japanese Americans have opened the door to re-building cultural ties, said Maniwa, who also heads the California Japanese American Community Leadership Council.
The most visible result of last week's gathering came late Thursday -- a 28-part "action plan." The document, whose genesis was in similar meetings in 2003 and 2004, was the focus of daylong closed sessions among the participants Monday at the Radisson Miyako Hotel in Japantown.

Welcome to the Public Property Summit 2016
The Public Property Summit is a half-day conference created in partnership with Capita Real Estate, which will explore the potential of public/private partnerships in developing public land and properties. It is aimed at key parties involved in planning, financing and developing public property projects, both residential and large scale mixed-use developments.
The event will explore the many faces of public-private sector joint ventures and the role they can play in rebalancing the shortage of land, both in provision of new homes and wider regeneration projects. From reviving outdated town centres to building new homes on surplus public land, the discussion will focus on how to create partnerships that yield commercial returns, but also bring about economic and societal prosperity to local communities.
View all Public Property Summit 2016 Speakers
The success of a JV largely depends on aligning commercial imperatives of a private entity with long-term societal objectives of a public body. But how do we ensure we have the right partners, the right financial vehicles, and that each party's objectives are aligned? We bring some of the leading industry experts and most innovative projects to showcase how this can be done and what potential there is for a more coordinated approach to secure funding, speed up delivery and unlock the long term value of public land.
We look forward to welcoming you to the Public Property Summit on 17 May 2016.

He grew up in Greencastle and was a 1951 graduate of Greencastle High School. He served in the U.S. Army during the Korean Conflict from 1953 to 1956.
Jim married Natella Ann Parker on Dec. 27, 1970 in Zionsville, IN. They lived in Lebanon for 39 years.
Jim worked as a printer his entire life. He started at age 12 sweeping floors at the Putnam County Graphic newspaper and continued there until he joined the Army at age 19.
After returning home he attended the Milo Bennett Linotype School in English. In late 1956 he moved to Lebanon to work at Pioneer Printing for the late Carney and Delcie Evans. After working for the Evans' for 17 years, he and his wife bought the company, which they then owned until 1979. After that he worked for Herff Jones for 19 years, then The Rytex Co. and Best Printing. After retiring from printing, he worked at Crown Pointe Senior Living as a resident assistant. This was one of his favorite jobs and he loved being the "morning coffee man."
Jim has been an active member of First Baptist Church since 1986. He served on the Diaconate Board, Board of Christian Education, Sunday School Superintendent, Usher, Vacation Bible School leader, camp counselor and assisted with Children's Church. He was a leader in Cub Scouts and Boy Scouts. He coached youth sports when his sons were young. He was a member of Kiwanis and was a life member of the Veterans of Foreign Wars.
Jim was most proud of his two sons and their accomplishments, especially on achieving their Masters degrees. He had a deep love for his siblings. Family gatherings were his favorite things. His hobbies included bowling, playing euchre, gardening and home improvement projects.
Jim is survived by his wife Natella; two sons; James C. and wife Catharine (McElwee) Roach of Bloomington and George and wife Dawnielle (Rowe) Roach of West Chicago; two grandsons, Parker (5) and Clayton (6 weeks), both of Bloomington; two sisters, Lucille White of Greencastle and Mildred O'Neal and husband Chet of Greencastle; brother Thomas Roach and wife Suzie of Greencastle; 34 nieces and nephews and many great nieces and nephews.

Hey, kevin's back!4. Matt Clement of Alexandria Posted: July 14, 2006 at 07:37 PM (#2099059)
Really enjoyed the book, definitely recommend it. Some randomish thoughts:5. Matt Clement of Alexandria Posted: July 14, 2006 at 07:39 PM (#2099068)
Mnookin is clearly a big fan, and it comes through in the good way - he knows the team extremely well, he knows the "saber" outlook, and he knows the history - the first section depends heavily on Stout's Red Sox Century, and Mnookin frames this history in many ways as a corrective to Shaughnessy and the other racist-whitewashing myth-makers.
The Theo/Lucchino narrative develops well through the book. Mnookin basically finds that for all their crazy hours of hard work, this problem was constantly shoved aside and never addressed by Henry, just allowed to fester. It really did surprise everyone on the Red Sox when the negotiations went poorly. On the one side, Lucchino definitely comes off poorly. In particular, he seems to use Charles Steinberg for plausible deniability in leaking any number of smears to the press. On the other side, it's really unclear how Epstein and baseball ops fought back - there are a number of hints that they're leaking to Gammons to smear Lucchino, but Mnookin apparently couldn't confirm any of that.
The section on the purchase of the team is crazy boring, don't know why it gets like 75 pages.
There's a lot of great little Ball Four-esque moments in the clubhouse - like Manny's game of sticking a cellphone down his pants, taking a picture, and then shoving the screen image in other players' faces.
Manny comes off as simply unstable. He demands trades and sulks, he's in high spirits, his teammates love him, his teammates are complaining about him. But it never boils over too badly, and the happy Manny is a far more common presence.
Epstein had no intention of offering Pedro a three-year deal, and it was only through ownership's insistence, particularly Lucchino's, that the offer was made.
Schilling pissed off a lot of people when he first came to the Red Sox. His comments about agents (he thinks they're scum) and his willingness to present himself as a Red Sox spokesman before meeting the other players definitely bothered his teammates and colored his reception in the clubhouse. There are only two players about whom Mnookin gets stories of backbiting in the clubhouse - Nixon, Millar and Schilling complain about Manny, and Damon, Millar and (I think there's another one) complain about Schilling.
(It's also notable that Millar is involved in the complaints both times. As hinted at in the response above, Millar wore out his welcome with management pretty quickly in 2005.)6. tfbg9 Posted: July 14, 2006 at 08:02 PM (#2099120)
There's a very long two-part audio interview from 'EEI with the author here:7. SoSHially Unacceptable Posted: July 14, 2006 at 08:04 PM (#2099121)
So, Kevin, are you back for good, or was the opportunity to refute Szym's claim too good to pass up?8. Matt Clement of Alexandria Posted: July 14, 2006 at 08:16 PM (#2099138)
My wording on the question, sadly, makes it possible for everyone to be right. I didn't say it well - the question is, was Lucchino particularly opposed to Petagine, and how strongly?9. PJ Martinez Posted: July 14, 2006 at 08:30 PM (#2099158)
I still think that Szym's "scouts v. stats" reading of the front office is wrong, and the narrative in the book definitely never follows that dichotomy.
Thanks for the synopsis, MCoA. If I pick up the book, I'll skip the buying-the-team part, which doesn't interest me anyway.10. Matt Clement of Alexandria Posted: July 14, 2006 at 08:37 PM (#2099165)
"Epstein had no intention of offering Pedro a three-year deal"
That's not terribly surprising, but it is interesting. I like Theo a lot, but he hasn't done a great job when it comes to handing out big contracts. He's gotten incredible steals, at times (Ortiz, Mueller), but none of the big signings has worked that well (am I forgetting something?).
Remember when he said the Sox were going to offer one year and a few dollars less than they thought the market could bear (or something)? Am I remembering that wrong? Because it sounded really stupid. It was in the early days, after failing to acquier Alfonzo and Contreras (Epstein's done pretty well not to sign certain guys, admittedly, though it's always hard to tell how hard the Sox have really gone after someone). Of course, the Renteria and Varitek contracts suggest they've gone in a different direction since then.
That's not terribly surprising, but it is interesting. I like Theo a lot, but he hasn't done a great job when it comes to handing out big contracts. He's gotten incredible steals, at times (Ortiz, Mueller), but none of the big signings has worked that well (am I forgetting something?).Schilling, arguably. Wait and see on Ortiz.
But, yeah. Clement and Renteria were busts, though Renteria + $$ brought in Coco. Varitek's not looking too good. The Nixon contract is unlikely to be a big winner, though this year is helping. Foulke and Schilling wouldn't have sucked in '05 if it weren't for their roles in winning hte World Series and whatnot, so that's good.

Wait a minute. Theo didn't want to guarantee 3 years to Pedro, and here Pedro is on the DL in the middle of the 2nd year, with an ERA of 3.45 in Shea, and rarely topping 90. He could come back and sail through the next 1.5-2.5 years, but right now I'd say the jury's out on the Pedro deal.
Remember when he said the Sox were going to offer one year and a few dollars less than they thought the market could bear (or something)?
I remember it as him saying they'd offer less years buy more per year. Thus their 3/21-ish offer to Alfonso and their 3/21ish offer to Foulke. As for which big deals have worked out, I don't even think you can say that Schilling has. He was worth basically 0 last year, which turns his deal into something like 3/48, including 07, which is tough to live up to (just ask Randy J). Renteria has turned it around this year, but it's pretty much the same situation as Schilling--he's got to cram 4 years of value into 3 years because he sucked so badly for one. Tek? Looking bad. Ortiz--looking good but long way to go. Clement I thought was good but hasn't turned out well. Nixon will have earned his deal but it wasn't a really big one.
"Schilling, arguably. Wait and see on Ortiz."13. TerpNats Posted: July 14, 2006 at 11:22 PM (#2099355)
I wasn't really counting these because both were extensions, not FA signings (ditto for Nixon). Schilling's been good enough so far this year that the extension may look good (of course, it already looked good in so far as it was necessary to get him here for that first year).
"Renteria + $$ brought in Coco"
I like Coco and think he can succeed with the Red Sox, but he hasn't done much yet.
"I'd say the jury's out on the Pedro deal."
Yeah, probably. But we'd have had a decent shot at the Series last year with him. I think no matter what happens over the next couple of years, there will be a decent argument to be made that the Sox should have kept him. (And this is coming from someone who, as a fan of Pedro himself, is happy that Pedro moved on to Shea.)
I liked the Clement deal, too, and I don't blame the FO for that one. It was a smart move, I think, even if it's gone south.
Your memory on the FO's comment about years sounds about right. It makes more sense that way, but it's still probably not an effective policy most of the time. That said, I don't think the FO has held to it (nor are they divulging as many of those strategic decisions anymore, which is probably wise).
It's interesting none of the posts on this thread has yet mentioned Terry Francona, who may get less pub than any World Series-winning manager in recent history. Conversely, according to the book's author who was on WTWP radio here in Washington the other day with Jim Bohannon, in Boston Theo Epstein is treated like a rock star. (Perhaps Francona should have attended an Ivy League school.) Theo should forever be in Dave Roberts' debt.14. Bad Fish Posted: July 15, 2006 at 12:05 AM (#2099401)
Shilling was the second best pitcher in the AL on '04, not to mention superman in the playoffs and he is among the top 5 this year, and last year when he was injured I thought he was ok out of the pen, and started about like a league average 4thor 5th starter...not bad considering....I think Shilling will be well worth his contract when its all said and done.15. Darren Posted: July 15, 2006 at 03:02 AM (#2099580)
And I also agree that the jury is still out on the Pedro signing, nobody doubted he would deliver great performances, the question was could he consistently do it over the length of the contract. I'd bet no.
Yeah, probably. But we'd have had a decent shot at the Series last year with him. I think no matter what happens over the next couple of years, there will be a decent argument to be made that the Sox should have kept him.16. Miko Supports Shane's Spam Habit Posted: July 15, 2006 at 04:54 PM (#2099873)
Didn't they have a decent shot without him? And of course, there was little question about whether Pedro would have been good to have around in 05. It was 06-08, at top $, that was the concern.

I think you're overating his 05 by a ton. Overall, his pitching--both in the pen and rotation--was right about replacment level, which has no value.
Thanks for bringing the book and the threads to our attention. Mnookin's comments later in the SoSH chat are very interesting, esp. when he's pressed on Frazee, and when he talks about how media myths grow (e.g., Bill James's role in the adoption of stat analysis in baseball).17.

"...in Boston Theo Epstein is treated like a rock star. (Perhaps Francona should have attended an Ivy League school.) Theo should forever be in Dave Roberts' debt."18. Darren Posted: July 15, 2006 at 07:45 PM (#2100025)
Francona is old and not very attractive. Francona did not sign David Ortiz. Francona has not toured with Buffalo Tom or Pearl Jam. I think Epstein's Yale degree has basically nothing to do with the rock star treatment.
Schilling was awful last year. But even if he was awful again this year, I think we'd all agree the signing was worth it, since it was necessary for that first title. This is basically my point with the Pedro contract: we'd have had a significantly better chance at another title last year with Pedro. If we'd won it again, would we care when (if) Pedro breaks down next year? Or would those extra dollars have been worth it then? I'm not suggesting the answer is obvious, but this is why I think there's already a decent argument to be made that they should have signed him (that argument would also be about keeping Pedro in Boston and having him finish his career here, seeing number 45 up next to 27, etc.). It's not actually my own argument-- I'm glad he went to the Mets. But there's a legitimate argument to be made, in my opinion.

This argument could justify any contract to any player who makes any significant contribution (or might do so) to a championship team. You could make the same argument for inking Eckstein to a 4/52 contract before 05. Or, more realistically, Millwood.
One tricky point in the Pedro conversation is that people seem to focus on him as the only 'good' signing the sox could have made. In fact, Millwood, Byrd, and others would have been just as good or better.
The section on the purchase of the team is crazy boring, don't know why it gets like 75 pages.20. SoSHially Unacceptable Posted: July 20, 2006 at 10:32 PM (#2105412)
On a conspiracy theory note, he probably had to promise to cover the purchase as a condition to gain access. You know, make it seem like the purchase wasn't a Selig-engineered manipulation.
Which it wasn't. I'd explain why, but it would take about 75 pages to make it clear.

On a separate note, I've largely not posted in the last week or two, and while that sort of thing is en vogue 'round these parts these days, I want to make it clear that I'm not trying to make a statement or anything. Well, I guess I was making a statement, but the statement I was making was that mrsidiom had a stroke two weeks ago, and I've been a bit busy since then.
Sorry to hear that about mrsidiom, vi. I hope she's doing better.21. Dan Szymborski Posted: July 20, 2006 at 10:48 PM (#2105428)
That is categorically untrue vis a vis LL and Petagine.22. Josh Posted: July 20, 2006 at 11:32 PM (#2105503)
Because of who told me this, I stand by what I said.
That'll learn me to make an off-the-cuff remark in a minor blog entry. I kept my mouth shut before, I've kept my mouth shut since, and I'll continue to keep my mouth shut in the future.
I still think that Szym's "scouts v. stats" reading of the front office is wrong, and the narrative in the book definitely never follows that dichotomy.
That's not exactly what I said.
I liked the purchase section - very informative and very interesting.23. Darren Posted: July 21, 2006 at 01:43 AM (#2105931)

She's doing a lot better now than she was last week, and then was doing better than she was on the 7th when it happened. At that time she lost all use of the left side of her body. One week later we were amazed as she stood upright, brushing her teeth, without collapsing in a heap on the floor. Today she walked (using a hemi-walker) about 135 feet, and that completely exhausted her. To me, this is massive progress; but if she can't even walk halfway to second base without reaching the point of exhaustion, clearly she has a very long road to full recovery. At this point she might be an adequate pinch-runner for Mike Lowell, but that's about it.
She still has virtually no use of her left arm, but the distinction between "no" and "virtually no" is huge. "No" would mean the signals from her brain to her arm are dead, and might never return. "Virtually no" means the signals are getting through, but are so weak as to produce nothing of use. The latter can be (and has) improved with therapy. Again, a long road back, but at mrsidiom's age (late 30's) the doctors think she can manage it.
Her face / speech / laugh / smile are nearly back to normal. Cognitive abilities are fine. She still has some vision issues - mostly, that her left-side peripheral vision still has one massive blind spot - but is otherwise fine.
I'm home taking care of the littleidioms. I could do this just fine, if that's all I had to do; but obviously there's a great deal of hospital time and other associated stuff to fit into each day. We're getting a lot of help from family and friends, which occasionally buys me time to do something like this, but not nearly as often as I used to.
Hang in there, vi.27. Betts, Bogaerts, and D Price(GGC) Posted: July 21, 2006 at 03:49 AM (#2106172)
My best wishes to the idioms, too.28. Betts, Bogaerts, and D Price(GGC) Posted: July 24, 2006 at 01:12 PM (#2109377)

Something that Mnookin said reminded me of one downside of the Henry administration. The Red Sox has almost become *too* popular IMO. Do I want to go back to the Butch Hobson era? No. But I haven't seen a game at Fenway since '03.
Good luck, vi. I'm very glad to hear that she's making progress. I hope the little idioms are doing OK too.30. villageidiom Posted: July 24, 2006 at 09:00 PM (#2110062)
But I haven't seen a game at Fenway since '03.31. Matt Clement of Alexandria Posted: July 24, 2006 at 10:50 PM (#2110205)
I have two tickets to each of the games on this Saturday and Sunday, and due to reasons you can gather from my earlier posts I won't be using them. I've already asked a few people (including my brother, who is right now en route from Chicago and his birthday is Saturday) to take them off my hands, but if those fall through I'll drop you an e-mail. You being somewhat local and all, I think it would be easy to transfer them to you in time for the game. If you don't hear from me, assume someone else took 'em.
If this works out to your benefit, and you say it's a "stroke of luck", I am required to punch you in the neck. I hope you understand.
vi, I just came back to this thread, and I wanted to wish you and your family all the best.32. Repoz Posted: July 24, 2006 at 11:01 PM (#2110219)
Sorry to hear of this, vi....all the best.33. Darren Posted: July 25, 2006 at 12:06 AM (#2110379)
vi,34. Phil Coorey is a T-Shirt Salesman Posted: July 25, 2006 at 12:47 AM (#2110519)
I'd never say something like that, but I'm sure GGC would. I'd find another BTF local to give those tickets to, if I were you.
Seriously, though, let me know if there's anything I (virtual stranger on the Internets) can do for you or Mrs. Idiom.
You are both in Lu's and mine's thoughts vi, Lu loved meeting mrs idiom last June and is saddened by the news as am I

Parents' outrage after teacher docks grade points for pupils who say 'bless you'
It is a common courtesy that dates back to medieval times.
But for one Northern Californian teacher a simple 'bless you' after a sneeze is 'disruptive' and banned from his high school classes.
Steve Cuckovich, who teaches health at William C. Wood High School in Vacaville, says the practice is 'disrespectful' and has even docked 25 points from one student's grade for saying the phrase in class.
Scroll down for video
Blessed: Steve Cuckovich says the practice is disrespectful and has even docked 25 points from one student's grade for saying the phrase in class
Outrage: Steve Cuckovich, pictured on from his Twitter account, has said he will find other ways to punish his students
According to Cuckovich, banning 'bless you' is not for religious reasons but because it 'no longer makes sense' to use it.
The father of three told ABC: 'When you sneezed in the old days, they thought you were dispelling evil spirits out of your body.
'So they were saying, 'God bless you' for getting rid of evil spirits.
'But today, I said what you're doing doesn't really make any sense any more.'
The move has prompted outrage from parents who claim the teacher's rule is anti-religious.
Parent Alan Johnson said: 'I think it's ridiculous, first the Pledge of Allegiance, now preventing a kid from saying "Bless you"?
'Everybody has their right to their own beliefs but they don't have the right to impose those beliefs on other people, and especially not schoolchildren.'
There are many theories where the saying 'Bless you', or 'God bless you', after someone sneezes comes from.
One early explanation is that when Gregory I became Pope in AD 590 there was an outbreak of the bubonic plague in Rome. At the time sneezing was thought to be an early symptom of the plague so the blessing 'God bless you' was commonly used.
It is widely believed that the phrase
began with Pope Gregory VII in the 11th century and the story of 'ring
around the rosy' being connected to the plague.
There are legends that the heart stops beating and the phrase 'bless you' is meant to encourage the heart to continue beating.
Some believed that sneezing is a sign that God will answer your prayers.
But Cuckovich responded telling FOX40: 'It's not got anything to do with religion. It's got to do with an interruption of class time.'
Cuckovich was forced to stop deducting points from student's grades after parents complained.
But he said he would find another form of punishment for his pupils.
Principal Cliff DeGraw said: 'He realises there's better ways to do that. We don't condone that type of punishment.'
School district superintendent Dr John Niederkorn said that Cuckovich thought the students were sneezing in dramatic fashion with the intent of disrupting class.
He said: 'The teacher believed that students were dramatically sneezing and responding in repetitive fashion [saying] 'Bless you'. We are reviewing the impact of this disruption and the student grading policy.
'Certainly a blessing by one individual to another after a sneeze is a welcomed acknowledgement of a social norm. Hopefully it is not abused as a disruption of classroom instructional activities.'
The row comes after a campaign group in Brookline, Mass, prompted a national debate after proposing a ban on the Pledge of Allegiance in schools.
Row: William C. Wood High School in Vacaville, CA, is at the centre of a debate over saying 'Bless you' in class
Scene: The dispute at William C. Wood High School follows a proposal to ban the Pledge of Allegiance in schools
Brookline Political Action for Peace - also known as Brookline PAX - said
the pledge has no educational value. Martin Rosenthal, the co-chairman of Brookline PAX, said it makes his 'skin crawl' that reciting the pledge is supposed to be voluntary but schools put pressure on young children.
Mr Rosenthal said: 'It just puts kids in an uncomfortable situation. How do you say that to a six-year-old. We just don't think it belongs in the schools.'
Earlier this month a U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals sided with school officials in Poway, California, who ordered a high school math teacher Brad Johnson remove banners he displayed in his classroom for 25 years, which state 'In God We Trust,' 'God Bless America,' and 'God Shed His Grace On Thee.'
In March, a 16-year-old high school student in El Cajon, California, sued the school district after being suspended for bringing his Bible to school.

With its external management issue behind it – even if the deal came as a surprise to unitholders who were equally dismayed at the high cost – Dream Office REIT will now shrink in size
Frank Holmes explains why he's one of the few pundits who believes we've begun a new gold bull market, why he favours royalty companies, and mentions one high-grade junior gold miner that he believes will be acquired at a premium of up to 100%.
The world of daily fantasy sports has been under much scrutiny by the United States legislature yet the industry is starting to see better days.
Few companies exemplify a new-economy success story more than Enghouse Systems Limited (TSE:ESL)
Cash is king and a company's ability to generate cash consistently is a sign of a well-run business. Companies can accumulate cash to acquire other companies although this, ironically, makes it a takeover target itself.

The Sox four-run frame came on the back of a multi-hit game for outfielder JD Williams, who punched the two-out game-winning double to left-centre field. Catcher Geoff Klein opened the inning, scorching a double down the left field line, before Williams delivered the double to put the Sox in front. Trent D'Antonio swatted an RBI-single, bringing home Williams to give the home side a two-run advantage. The scoring continued for the Sydneysiders, as Mitch Dening drove home runners D'Antonio and Zach Penprase, propelling the Sox to 4-0.
"After missing a few early opportunities with runners in scoring positions, I'm glad we converted in the eighth," Blue Sox manager Jason Pospishil said. "I'm really pleased with the pitching staff, with Atherton and the boys throwing a shutout and not issuing a walk."
Tim Atherton led the Sydney pitching staff, tossing seven scoreless innings with nine strikeouts and only three hits. Texan Tyler Herr (3-1) contributed a scoreless eighth inning and collected the win with just one hit allowed. Righty Todd Van Steensel chucked the ninth, striking out one to close the game and the series.
In a game scoreless through seven innings, Sydney and Adelaide left 16 runners on base. The home team stole seven bags, as D'Antonio and David Kandilas each collected a pair. This victory marked a three-game winning streak, the first for Sydney this year as the pitching staff allowing only nine hits in the last 27 innings.
The Sox travel to Adelaide next week for the second half of eight consecutive games between the two teams. The squads kick off the series Thursday, 3 January at Norwood Oval.

'Joyful Noise' Trailer: Queen Latifah, Dolly Parton Are Forced to Team Up (Video)
The Todd Graff-directed film co-stars Keke Palmer and Courtney B. Vance.
Queen Latifah and Dolly Parton are in a project together, and it's called Joyful Noise.
The musical film centers on two women who must work together when a small-town gospel choir is threatened after the death of the group's director. Latifah, portraying a mother of two teenagers, and Parton, who plays the director's wife, lead a cast that includes Keke Palmer and Courtney B. Vance.
The trailer reveals nearly the entire plot, with several snippets of musical numbers, including a performance of "Man in the Mirror."
Joyful Noise, written and directed by Todd Graff (Bandslam, The Beautician and the Beast), is slated to open in theaters Jan. 13, 2012. The project marks Parton's first film role since Straight Talk, which was released in 1992.
