World Bulletin / News Desk
The wartime spokesman of late Serbian war crimes convict Slobodan Milosevic was asked on Thursday to form a coalition government with a nationalist party, raising concerns aming diplomats and investors about Belgrade's bid for European Union membership.
Ivica Dacic, head of the Socialist party once led by Milosevic, said after being given the mandate to govern: "There will be no return to the 1990s," the decade when the former Yugoslavia was ripped apart by war.
"As prime minister, I will never make a decision that will be an injustice to Serbia and its citizens," Dacic said after meeting President Tomislav Nikolic, head of the nationalist SNS party with which he will form a coalition.
"The new government's task is to create a better life for our citizens ... and it must stay on a stable European course," Nikolic, a former ultra-nationalist who surprisingly beat liberal Boris Tadic in last month's presidential run-off vote, told reporters.
Diplomats say the EU, which made Serbia an official candidate for membership in March, had hoped Tadic would become prime minister in a coalition with the Socialists, marginalising Nikolic and keeping the country on a pro-reform path.
But the Socialists rejected proposals to revive a coalition with Tadic's Democratic party after seven weeks of talks and instead sided with Nikolic.
With Nikolic and Dacic in the driving seat, the Democrats lost all levers of power for the first time since they ousted Milosevic in October 2000.
In the 1990s, Dacic was a spokesman for Milosevic, who was handed over to the Hague war crimes tribunal on this day in 2001 and later died in detention while on trial for fomenting wars in the former Yugoslavia.
Under Dacic, the Socialists shed most of Milosevic's legacy but many diplomats see them as opportunists rather than reformers.
As interior minister in the Democrat-led government, Dacic was instrumental in securing visa-free travel for Serbs in the EU and launched a crackdown on organised crime and corruption.
A Belgrade-based European diplomat who asked not to be named said the new government "will be greeted with mixed feelings."
"Dacic proved himself well so far but we want to see whether they can be partners who can deliver," he said.
"Dream for Greater Serbia"
Dacic has in the past expressed support for partitioning Kosovo which declared independence in 2008, between Serbia and Kosovo's ethnic Albanians - a scenario unacceptable to the EU.
Brussels has asked Nikolic to mend ties with Kosovo before Serbia can hope for progress in its EU bid.
Nikolic has repeatedly said he is in favour of Serbia joining the EU and wants to speed up the process. However, few in the region have forgotten he once professed a wish to build a "Greater Serbia" - a dream that inspired much of the carnage in the former Yugoslavia in the 1990s in which 125,000 people died.
The new government, which will also include the pro-business URS party, will have to tackle a budget deficit that by far exceeds the 4.25 percent of gross domestic product level agreed with the International Monetary Fund, public debt of over 50 percent of GDP and unemployment around 25 percent.
It will also have to try to unblock a 1 billion-euro ($1.25 billion) stand-by deal with the IMF that was frozen in February over Serbia's inflated spending and widening debt, and also work hard to win the West's trust.
Dacic has said previously Serbia should spend more to spur growth rather than abide by the stringent austerity measures recommended by the IMF.
Diplomats and investors will scrutinise the new government's first moves.
The Serbian dinar which lost ground to the euro immediately after Nikolic's victory and then recovered, weakened slightly against the common currency on Thursday after Dacic said he would form a government.
The currency, which this year lost about 7.6 percent to the European currency, traded at between 115.56 and 116.1 to the euro, currency dealers said.
"Some investors have fled. Some remained cautious and will be awaiting to hear and witness the first economic moves of the new government," said a delaer at a Belgrade-based commercial bank.

Comments Thread For: Kovalev Eyes Hopkins Unification After Beating Cleverly
Undefeated Sergey Kovalev (21-0-1, 19KOs) is willing to fight IBF champion Bernard Hopkins (53-6-2, 32KOs) - after fighting WBO champion Nathan Cleverly (26-0, 12KOs) on August 17th at the Motorpoint Arena in Cardiff.
The IBF had ordered Hopkins to defend his title against Kovalev. The Russian contender says his promoter, Main Events, heard nothing from Hopkins or his team regarding the ordered defense. Because there wasn't any interest being expressed from Hopkins, he accepted the opportunity to face Cleverly for his title, and HBO will be televising the fight. [Click Here To Read More]

Not Hopkins- but Hopkins TEAM- Shafer, golden boy and showtime wanted absolutely NOTHING to do with Kovalev. Pretty hilarious how the whole thing played out. They switched back and forth saying they'll defend against unknown bum Murat, Then kept silent about Kovalev, then talked about defending against Murat again once Kovalev signed for Cleverly..

Goalie Boyd Ballard made 37 saves
in the Friars 3-2
loss to New Hampshire Friday.
PROVIDENCE, R.I. -- The fourth-ranked New Hampshire Wildcats defeated the Providence College Friars, 3-2, in HOCKEY EAST action on Friday, March 6 at PC's Schneider Arena.
Providence freshman Cole Gendreau opened the scoring with his first collegiate goal as he broke down the left wing and beat UNH goaltender Sean Matile through the five hole at 7:37 of the first period. UNH evened the game with 1:09 remaining in the first period when Rob Gagnon poked in a rebound.
Derek Bekar tallied the only goal of the second period on a power play when he one-timed a shot past PC netminder Boyd Ballard 14 seconds into the period. Ballard kept the Wildcats in check for the remainder of the period posting 12 saves.
Bekar registered his second goal of the game and what proved to be the gamewinner when he backhanded a shot past a sprawled Ballard at 13:08 of the third. PC pressured late in the game and got within one goal when Jon Cameron slid a low shot under Matile on a power play with 1:41 remaining in the game.
Matile registered 17 stops in the win for the Wildcats. Ballard made 37 stops and earned the No. 2 star in the loss.
With the win New Hampshire raised its record to 23-8-1 overall and 15-7-1 in HOCKEY EAST while Providence fell to 15-16-3 overall and 9-13-2 in league play.
Providence College will return to action on Thursday in the first game of a best-of-three HOCKEY EAST Quarterfinal series at Boston College at 7:00 p.m.

Congressional leaders and the White House had one message for Edward Snowden on Sunday: There will be no clemency for illegally leaking documents that have revealed some of the U.S. government's most secret programs.
Senate intelligence committee chairwoman Dianne Feinstein, a Democrat of California, and her House counterpart, Mike Rogers, a Republican from Michigan, expressed that view on CBS' Face the Nation and White House adviser Dan Pfeiffer said pretty much the same on ABC's This Week.
Politico reports on Feinstein and Rogers:
"Feinstein said Snowden had done an 'enormous disservice to our country,' saying he squandered an opportunity to become a legal whistleblower and approach the intelligence committees with his information. Snowden had 'stripped our system,' she said, and should be fully prosecuted.
"And Rogers said he would not accept clemency for committing 'a crime that actually puts soldiers lives at risk in places like Afghanistan,' and the Russians are allowing Snowden to stay in the country in order to gain intelligence.
"Snowden 'took and stole information, he violated his oath, he disclosed classified information that, by the way, has allowed three different terrorist organizations, affiliates of Al Qaeda, to change the way they communicate,' Rogers said."
The New York Times reports that Pfeiffer said the administration had not considered clemency for Snowden and that he should just return to the country and face charges.
Of course, all of this comes just days after Snowden wrote an open letter in which he argued that "speaking the truth is not a crime."
Today, the German news magazine Der Spiegel published "A Manifesto for the Truth," in which Snowden argues that his revelations have spurred much-needed debate in the U.S. about surveillance.
"Instead of causing damage, the usefulness of the new public knowledge for society is now clear because reforms to politics, supervision and laws are being suggested," Snowden wrote, according to an English translation of the piece by Reuters. "Citizens have to fight against the suppression of information about affairs of essential importance for the public. Those who speak the truth are not committing a crime."

Quote "Among her other findings, Gackenbach has noted that gamers tend to have more "bizarre" dreams — those that include far-fetched or impossible scenarios, like imaginary characters or space travel — than their peers. Bizarre dreams, in turn, have also been linked to enhanced creative output in day-to-day life, suggesting (as Gackenbach has also found) that gaming might make us more creative in real-world scenarios."

He tried to kiss Will Smith in Moscow, attempted to steal Adele's spotlight at the Grammys, dived under America Ferrera's dress at Cannes and now, police say, accosted Brad Pitt on the red carpet of a Hollywood premiere.
Vitalii Sediuk's antics have earned him a smack in the face from Smith, probation for the Grammys stunt and have cost him his job with the Ukrainian television station that, up until his incident with Ferrera, gave the 25-year-old a platform to cross the line with celebrities.
Sediuk remained in a Hollywood jail on Thursday, one day after police say he leaped over a fan barrier and made contact with Pitt, who was signing autographs at the premiere of his partner Angelina Jolie's latest film, Maleficent.
Pitt was apparently uninjured, but Sediuk's conduct has left him alienated from supporters and facing another possible criminal case.
An emergency restraining order has been issued to Sediuk to stay away from Pitt, Los Angeles Police Sergeant Albert Gonzalez said. The order could be extended for a month, but the actor would have to petition a civil judge if he wants the stay-away order extended, Gonzalez said.
A case against Sediuk was presented on Thursday to prosecutors, who will make the ultimate determination on charges, he said.
Ukranian TV station 1+1 fired Sediuk roughly three weeks ago, around the time he rushed Ferrera and hid under her voluminous dress at the premiere of How to Train Your Dragon 2 at the Cannes Film Festival. The station's general director Oleksandr Tkachenko wouldn't disclose the exact reason for Sediuk's dismissal.
Sediuk's antics have repeatedly brought him too close for comfort to Hollywood's elite. In perhaps his tamest incident, Sediuk presented Madonna with a bouquet of hydrangeas at the 2011 Venice Film Festival, prompting the singer to express her disgust for the flowers. The following year, he attempted to kiss Smith on the mouth on a red carpet in Moscow, prompting a slap from the actor.
The incidents raised Sediuk's profile and apparently emboldened him to new stunts to attract attention. His grab of the microphone before Adele accepted a Grammy Award at last year's ceremony led Sediuk to plead no contest to trespassing and earned him a three-year probation sentence.
He hugged Bradley Cooper's crotch earlier this year at the Screen Actors Guild Awards and streaked down a runway in a G-string at a show during February's Fashion Week in New York City. No charges were filed after either incident.
Sediuk's intentions toward Pitt are unclear. He remains jailed in lieu of US$20,000 ($24,000) bond, and his attorney Anthony Willoughby said he had not yet spoken to his client. Willoughby said he was surprised by the Pitt incident, which he said could lead a probation violation for Sediuk.
"He's not a violent individual," Willoughby said. "He's an easygoing young man."
Publicist Christa Scherck, who worked with Sediuk for the past two years and helped him get credentialled for entertainment events, said she was severing ties with him after his arrest. She said she was never aware of his prank plans.
"This goes beyond pranking," Scherck said. "This is no longer entertaining."
She said Sediuk did not tell her he'd been fired from 1+1 after the Ferrera incident, but he said his employers were unhappy with him and he was going to lay low.
After his arrest for crashing the 2013 Grammys, Sediuk said he accepted responsibility for his actions but wasn't sorry for what he did.
He said he was just trying to create interesting reports for audiences back home but had been stymied by publicists. "I just need to get a little access," he said at the time.
Even without access, Sediuk has proven he can circumvent security and get uncomfortably close to celebrities, but whether that continues remains to be seen.

It will be fine but chilly for much of the country today as a high settles in.
Wellington is the place to avoid, with showers and a bitterly cold southerly making for an awful day in the capital, MetService says.
Just north of there, from Taranaki, through Manawatu and into Hawke's Bay it will be a drizzly day with some fine periods mixed with cloudy times.
Many areas north of Taupo would have a frosty morning, but copious rays of sunshine would quickly melt the ice and make for a fine - if not cold - day, MetService said.
Temperatures will be struggling to push past 13 degrees Celsius for most of these places.
A similar situation is at hand for the West Coast and Nelson, with Greymouth reaching the same temperature as Auckland on 12C.
Marlborough and Canterbury will get fine spells but cloud will increase this evening, with drizzle developing about Christchurch and the Kaikoura Coast.
Otago and Southland will have cloudy periods and a few showers on the south coast, spreading inland this afternoon and evening.

Advertising Rules!! (no - not that kind)
In my day if you want to impress a client you give them a pen, or a mug, or if they are really special a hat or t-shirt. In 1900 the t-shirt hadn't been invented so freebie gifts I guess were a little harder to come by. Now I don't know much about promotional tools but a few years ago I acquired a 12" 4 fold ivory rule. The rule was made by Rabone (the great English rule making company) - it's a no. 2435 and pretty expensive at 26/0 per dozen (wholesale) but it also has "C. W. S. Cabinet Works" "Pelaw" on it which was the shop that gave them out.
What I don't get is what kind of customer merited a rule this nice. It's cute, it's ivory, it folds down to 3". And the markings are all hand scribed on the ivory.
I'm going to go out on a limb here and suggest it was given to some decorator or architect. It's too good to be used regularly in a shop but perfect for an architect to carry in their pocket all the time for occasional use like checking if the molding was the same width as specified in a plan.
The other two advertising rules in the picture were much less expensive, a lot more common and also pretty useful. I don't know the actual maker but the elegant wooden one was a rope maker's giveaway and reads in Inches only on the front and metric on the reverse. On the back of the smaller brass caliper (which reads in both inches and metric) is the name "Small & Parkes Ltd" of Manchester. This latter one is real handy even today.

So Joel, What are your good clients gona get from you? Other than the great service we get from you;)
I remember, in my grand father garage, he was a mecanic, to find all kind of promotional stuff, from the fuel company to the tools etc... It is interesting that we lost that kind of usefull shwags, it was better than a cheep pen or stickers...

I've got a steel folding rule/protractor with a vernier scale that I use often. I don't have it here at home with me so I can't give the name of the company that gave these out. I sometimes also refer to the decimal equivalents chart on the back. I picked up at a tool collectors meet for a couple dollars a number of years ago and I've about worn out the leather case it came in.
Andrew Davis
That sure is a smart looking rule. I have a lumber guy that hands out a better pencil than I can buy anywhere. They are hoarded away...
Well to Ya

Wedding gift for gay couple married in Milwaukee goes viral
The gesture from a food server who wanted to congratulate one of Wisconsin's first same-sex couples to receive a marriage license has led to national attention for the Milwaukee restaurant.
Christopher Graham, who married Andrew Capelle at the Milwaukee County Courthouse on Friday, received a free meal from Transfer Pizzeria & Cafe. Graham posted a picture of his receipt to the restaurant's Facebook page, which quickly went viral.
"They were just such a cute and happy couple," says Melissa Tashjian, who served the couple at Transfer, told WTMJ-TV. "Their excitement was contagious. They told me how the ban was lifted, and they had just gotten married. They said they were the 12th same-sex couple to get married and make history."
When Tashjian asked her boss whether the restaurant would give the couple a free dessert, her boss provided a free meal instead.

Sick internet trolls target schoolgirl, 16, who died as she tried to board a train after a night out
- Tribute page for Georgia Varley was targeted just hours after being put up
A teenage girl who died after slipping from a railway station platform has become the latest target of internet trolls.
A Facebook tribute page entitled RIP Georgia Varley was set up in memory of the 16-year-old after she was killed on Saturday night, but hours later offensive messages started appearing.
One Facebook user posted: 'Blame her heels', while another posted a picture of Thomas the Tank Engine with a message of his innocence.
Another posted a photograph of the deceased Colonel Gaddafi alongside other highly offensive comments.
Georgia Varley, 16, was returning home to Wirral on Saturday night when the tragedy happened. Some 40 to 50 passengers were on the platform at the time of the incident and a number were treated for shock.
Many were posted throughout the night, leading people to believe they were coming from other countries.
Friends of the teenager reported the abuse to a Facebook administrator and they have since been removed.
Georgia had been returning home to
Wirral on Saturday night when she fell between the platform and one of
the carriages at Liverpool's James Street underground station.
Her friends have since set up a new page and taken Facebook advice on how to block the trolls.
One post read: 'Rest In Peace, Georgia. Hopefully no "trolls" will find this page, and if they do they'll all be blocked immediately.'
A shocked friend of Georgia's wrote
on the tribute page after the ordeal: 'Still can't get over those people
commenting on someone innocents memorial page being horrible and
mocking a young death.'
The user who set up the tribute page wrote: 'Thank you all for being so patient with the removal of the horrible comments and thank you all for continuing to post happy memories and messages to Georgia and to her friends and family.
Tribute page: The offensive posts were removed from the Facebook page and friends defended Georgia Varley
RIP Georgia Varley Facebook page: The internet troll's messages were removed
'I hope no one believes that these
events have tarnished Georgia's memory in anyway as we all know she was a
lovely, happy and smiley young girl who was loved dearly and will
forever be loved dearly.'
It is thought that Georgia had
been running along the platform after a Wirral-bound train after a night
out in Liverpool with friends and family when she fell at around
It is believed that some of the party were already on board the train, which had begun to move away from the station.
Up to 50 passengers waiting on the
platform watched on in horror as the teenager slipped under the wheels
and was killed instantly. Some have been treated for shock
Her boyfriend, named locally as Pierce, was 'devastated' and Georgia's family are being comforted by friends and relatives.
The incident happened at the underground James Street Station in the centre of the city
Friends have paid tribute to the teenager on a Facebook tribute page, describing her as 'beautiful', 'a princess', and 'a gorgeous girl'
Georgia's father Paul, of New Brighton, described her daughter as his 'precious angel'.
He said: 'Georgia was just amazing. I have a constant lump in my throat and I don't know how to feel or what to say.
'She was so loved and she never had an upside down smile on. She was such a happy girl.
'I would say to her 'you're always changing between groups of friends' but she made an impression on so many people.'
A spokesman for Facebook said: 'It is against Facebook's rules to intimidate or harass others, and we provide everyone with the tools to report such content via specific links across every page of our site.
One tribute to the teenager said: 'You brought so much joy into all of our lives. There was never a day where you didn't make me laugh. You're my superstar."
'When abuse is reported to us, we react swiftly, and we will disable accounts that are found to be in breach of our terms.
'We strongly encourage people using Facebook to use our tools whenever needed and to report objectionable content so we can investigate reports and take action.'
The spokesman said that 'trolling' was not exclusive to Facebook but that they had set up an 'extensive reporting network' to help combat the problem.
It comes after Sean Duffy was imprisoned for 18 weeks after leaving obscene messages and videos on a condolence page set up by the family of 15-year-old schoolgirl Natasha MacBryde, who committed suicide.
He was also charged over 'offensive images' on a Facebook tribute page set up for Sophie Taylor, who was accidentally shot dead by her boyfriend in April.
It is still unknown exactly what happened on Saturday night when Georgia was tragically killed at James Street station.
One theory is that the teenager may have accidentally stepped off the train at the wrong stop and ran to try to get back on before losing her step and falling from the platform.
British Transport Police were yesterday continuing with their investigations into the events which led to Georgia's death.
Detective Chief Inspector Simon Taylor said: 'We are determined to work out exactly what happened to Georgia and I am calling on rail passengers in Liverpool to help with this.
'Whatever information you have, no matter how insignificant it may seem, it could prove valuable in helping us piece together Georgia's final few minutes.
'Georgia has left behind a distraught family and we want to be able to tell them exactly what happened and help them come to terms with the tragedy.'
Most of Georgia's friends were on half term this week and will return to school on Monday.
Staff at Birkenhead Sixth Form College, where Georgia was a student, were planning counselling for friends and those who witnessed her death.
Karen Wiggins, a senior member of staff, said: 'We are all deeply saddened. Georgia joined us in September and had a bright future ahead of her.
'She had a very ready smile and was a beautiful looking girl who was very popular among the students.'

As someone who has covered the comic book industry to some degree since 1999 and been reading comics since 1977, I've been audience to a plethora of appeals by creators to support their projects. But none has caught my attention quite like that of A Voice in the Dark creator Larime Taylor, who draws with his mouth.
Earlier this month, in a Tumblr post, Taylor recounted how in 2012 he embarked on a pilot project through Kickstarter for A Voice in the Dark in the hopes he could ultimately connect the project to a publisher. In 2013 he succeeded, with it landing at Top Cow's Minotaur Press imprint. But unfortunately, sales are lagging. He logically assumes part of the sales struggle is that he is an unknown name and that some potential consumers are less inclined to read a black-and-white comic.
Both factors are true. I'm ashamed to admit there are multiple independent comics that are released on a monthly basis that never catch my attention. I was surprised that this one in particular hadn't, given Taylor's unique talents — as well as the fact he was interviewed in late August by Comic Book Resources.

Objective: The purpose of the present study was to examine the relationship between optimism and anxiety, depression and health-related quality of life (HRQOL). A further aim was to investigate the predictive value of optimism for anxiety, depression and HRQOL, quantified with and without controlling the corresponding base level.
Methods: A total of 427 urogenital cancer patients were asked to complete the Life Orientation Test (LOT), the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) and the health survey SF-8 during their stay in the hospital (T1), two weeks later (T2) and three months later.
Results: Finally, 275 patients (64.4%) completed all questionnaires. Optimism at T1 was significantly associated with anxiety (r=−0.35), depression (r=−0.41) and HRQOL (physical: r=0.29; mental: r=0.27) and can predict outcome variables three months later. After controlling for the base levels of anxiety, depression and HRQOL, the predictive value of optimism remained significant but small. The incrementally variance explained by the LOT varied between 2.1% in anxiety and 8.2% in physical HRQOL.
Conclusion: Especially patients with a low level of optimism and a high level of pessimism are at risk for higher levels of anxiety and depression in addition to lowered HRQOL. Copyright © 2009 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

The Manawatu Jets finished their season on a streak of five wins in a row after thrashing the Super City Rangers 112-76 in Auckland this afternoon.
The strong finish to the season sees the Jets finish in fifth place, just one win outside of the top four with nine wins and nine losses.
The win came off the back of two massive middle quarters, which the Jets won 63-34.
The Rangers couldn't keep up with the Jets' scoring and the visitors also dominated the rebounding battle 55 to 36.
Paul Jones (26 points), Troy McLean (24) were found their range from deep, sinking four and six three pointers respectively for Manawatu.
Centre Nick Horvath had a double-double of 22 points and 14 rebounds, point guard Brandon Jenkins had his own double-double of 13 points and 11 assists and forward Jeremiah Trueman grabbed 14 boards.
Rangers guard and the competition's leading point scorer Jason Cadee led their scoring with 19 points, Houston O'Riley 15 and Cameron Stuart 12, but there wasn't much else apart from Dillon Boucher's 11 rebounds, eight assists and five points.
Manawatu Jets 112 (Paul Jones 26, Troy McLean 24, Nick Horvath 22/14 rebounds, Brandon Jenkins 13/11 assists, Alonzo Burton 12, Jeremiah Trueman 14 rebounds) Super City Rangers 76 (Jason Cadee 19, Houston O'Riley 15, Cameron Stuart 12) Q1: 24-19, HT: 57-36, Q3: 87-53, FT: 112-76.

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. -- After the Red Sox' 2-1 loss to the Rays at Tropicana Field Wednesday, Adrian Gonzalez expressed his dissatisfaction with home plate umpire Hunter Wendelstedt.
Gonzalez was particularly upset over his final at-bat, in which Wendelstedt called a strike on a Joel Peralta fastball that proved to be well outside the strike zone. The Red Sox first baseman would ultimately swing and miss at the fifth pitch he saw from Peralta, a high-and-inside offering that proved to be just inside the zone.
"It wasn't even close," Gonzalez said of Peralta's initial pitch. "You're up there trying to have a professional at-bat and look for a pitch to hit and that's called.
"Yesterday there were a couple of pitches that weren't close and were called strikes and it put me in two strikes and then you have to protect,," he continued. "It's just unfortunate. You wish you could keep them on the plate and force them to come in, but that doesn't happen anymore."
When asked if inconsistent strike zones have been a problem throughout the season, Gonzalez said, "Not every time, just at times. When they're good you can be comfortable up there. You know what the strike zone is. When they're not, you have to go up there and hack. It's frustrating."
Gonzalez, who went 0-for-4 with two strikeouts to lower his batting average to .279, came into the game hitting just .148 when putting balls out of the strike zone in play (according to BaseballAnalytics.org). He also was hitting just .287 on balls in the strike zone, after finishing 2011 as the only major league player to hit over .400 in such situations.
"It doesn't do any good," he said when asked if he voiced his complaints to the umpires. "You say something and then you start letting it get into your head and then it starts messing with your at-bat and your approach and what you're trying to do. You get thrown out, I'm the one who gets punished for it. It's not him for not making the wrong call."
The first baseman was also asked if he was concerned about his lack of power, having hit just two home runs this season with his most recent long ball coming on April 17 (a span of 103 at-bats). Gonzalez said not to worry.
"I'll start hitting home runs," he said. "I'll hit a home run tomorrow."
When told of the guarantee, David Ortiz said, "Good. That's good stuff. I can't wait. I know my pinata killer is going to be fine. I've got money on him. I've got money on the killer, because I know that pinata at some point is going to have to drop down."
