When asking Pirate fans during the late 70's and early 80's which pitcher could win the clutch game when the franchise needed it, they would simply answer, "The Candy Man Can"! The Candy man of course is the Bucs tall 6'7' southpaw, John Candelaria, who was not only the clubs top pitcher for most of 11 seasons between 1975 and 1985, but he was the one guy Pittsburgh had during the time that could be consistently counted on to win the tough game when they needed it.
The New York native broke into the majors in 1975 not long after being a non-roster invitee to spring training by the club. John won his first major league game against the Mets on June 20th and went on to have a solid rookie campaign with an 8-6 record and sparkling 2.76 ERA. The first sign that the fans of Pittsburgh had a pitcher they could depend on in the clutch occurred in game 3 of the NLCS. With the club down 2 games to none and facing elimination, Pirate manager Danny Murtaugh called on the tall southpaw to keep the club alive. Candelaria responded with a magnificent then NLCS record 14 strikeouts in 7 2/3 innings of work. Despite the fact the Bucs eventually lost the game and the series, Candy made his mark and showed the club about the great success he would soon have.
In 1976, Candelaria became the ace of the staff with a 16-7 mark, that included wins in 8 consecutive decisions. He also put his name in the history books on August 9th. It was that night when the Pirates and John were facing the Los Angeles Dodgers on National TV. After getting out of a bases loaded situation in the third inning, the Candy Man settled down and tossed a 2-0 no-hitter. It became the first no-hitter pitched by a Pirate in the Steel City since Nick Maddox turned the trick in 1907.
Continuing to show improvement, Candelaria had his marquis season in 1977 when he was selected to his one and only all-star game. Candy Man went 20-5 to become the first Pirate since Vern Law in 1960 to win 20 games and the first lefty to win 20 for the franchise since the great Wilbur Cooper in 1924. To go along with his great season, John led the senior circuit in winning percentage with an .800 mark and topped the NL in ERA at 2.34, which made him the first National League pitcher to win both 20 games and the NL ERA title since Sandy Koufax in 1965. Despite his spectacular season, he finished only 5th in the CY Young voting in the National League.
After a decent season in 1978, Candelaria led the club in wins in the magical 1979 campaign with a 14-9 mark. John showed his mettle again with the club down 3 games to 2 against the Orioles in the World Series. He was named the starter of the all-important sixth game. A loss and the Bucs would end their miracle season without a championship and a win; they would live to play another day. Candy came up tough with seven shutout innings that helped propel the Pirates to the 1979 World Championship.
With five solid seasons behind him, John would suffer adversity over the next two campaigns, first with a losing season in 1980 and then with his first major injury in 1981. That season Candy tore his left Bicep Muscle, which sidelined him for most of the season. The injury would be one of several Candelaria suffered over the course of his 19 year career. Almost every time he went down, the New York native cameback to be an effective hurler once again.
That character showed itself in 1982 and 83 when the Candy Man battled back from a major injury to first post a 12-7 mark in '82 with a 2.94 ERA, 6th best in the league. The next season he had one of his best with a 15-8 mark. John finished 6th in the NL in both wins and strikeouts with 157.
Candelaria continued his winning ways in 1984 with a 12 win season and a NL 5th best 2.72 ERA. That season, Candelaria would get a rare thrill at the plate when he hit his first and only major league homer ever on July 19th. Unfortunately, after the season ended, the Candy Man had to have another operation, this time to remove a bone spur from his left elbow.
The 31-year old southpaw also suffered from a chronic bad back by 1985 and the toll of injuries prompted manager Chuck tanner to put the Candy man into the bullpen. Candelaria was not happy with the move, but performed decently with 9 saves and a 3.64 ERA.
On August 2nd, 1985, John career in the black and gold unfortunately came to an end when he was dealt to the Angels with Al Holland and George Hendrick for Pat Clemens, Bob Kipper and Mike Brown.
He had his left elbow operated on again in '86 for a bone spur and finally was activated in July 8th. Candelaria responded with the grit and determination he had become to be known for with a 10-2 record, back in the starting rotation. He also had a phenomenal ALCS against the Red Sox when he gave up 1 run in 10 2/3 innings. For his efforts he was named the AL comeback player of the year.
Candy finally got the opportunity to go home when he first went to the Mets in 1987 where he was 2-0 in three starts, and then was dealt to the Yankees. With the Bronx Bombers he proved to be one of their best hurlers in 1988 with a 13-7 record and 3.38 ERA.
Injuries unfortunately once again reared their ugly heads again, this time in the form of knee surgery. John had a tear repaired in his knee in 1988 and then needed arthroscopy surgery on his right knee the following year.
By this point and time, the Candy man's best days were behind him and went from the Expos to the Twins, Blue Jays and Dodgers before signing as a free agent with the Bucs in December of 1992. Although he didn't pitch effectively going 0-3 with an 8.24 ERA, it allowed Candelaria to rightfully finish his career where it began.
After he retired, the Candy Man decided to stay in Pittsburgh where he owns an advertising and event promotion agency called Here's the Pitch, where certainly he gives his clients the same clutch performance he gave baseball fans for the better part of 19 years.

College Hockey:Report: Hockey East wants Connecticut as 12th member for 2013-14
According to an Associated Press report Tuesday, Hockey East's expansion plans include adding Atlantic Hockey member Connecticut, perhaps as early as the 2013-14 season.
The 10-member league, already in the process of adding Notre Dame for 2013, has been looking for a 12th member to ease scheduling problems.
Hockey East commissioner Joe Bertagna said that a decision could come during a meeting of member schools in June.
"Our attention is pretty focused on the University of Connecticut," Bertagna said in the report. "There are other institutions that have had casual conversations, but I think it would be disingenuous to suggest that there is someone else, that our conversations are this far along."
"The window is small," Connecticut athletic director Warde Manuel added. "It is a great opportunity should it be offered to us to move into the strongest hockey league in the country."
Manuel also said that the school would move games from the on-campus Freitas Ice Forum to the XL Center in Hartford.
"Most of our programs on campus play in that type of a high-profile league and we'd like to be on the same playing field as that," Connecticut hockey coach Bruce Marshall said in the AP story. "They probably were worried about logistics when football was being upgraded, too. We've got to find a way to make this happen.
"When the door opens, you sometimes have to go through the door."

UConn has been given the opportunity to add Men's Hockey to step up to the level of its basketball, football and women's hockey programs. The other link that UConn will want to make is an alignment with Notre Dame in all sports minus football. This will help UConn to be linked with Notre Dame in the ACC if Notre Dame ends up there based on a possible collapse of the Big East.
- Thin Ice
It sounds like a rare opportunity. Hopefully supporters and alumni can dig deep and make it happen. Presently many people here in the midwest don't think the UConn hockey program is from the same U as the more widely known UConn squeak ball programs. Many think it's some teeny tiny private college in NE that just has a similar name to the "big" UConn – like "Conneticut College" or something.
- Mike
Who have you been talking to in the midwest?
- guest
Not a good fit. Connecticut should earn their stripes in Atlantic Hocey before trying to make the jump. Vermont was an established and successful team and has had trouble in Hockey East. Hockey East should be taking a much harder look at maybeMercyhurst or some other scholarship school in the Northeast.
- ritalum
They have been getting better… they've done well the last two seasons in the AHA playoffs. Even took Air Force (the NCAA participant) to game three and lost in OT. Still, they're a long way from being competative in HE.
- Joe C
This is a great fit. UConn is a major NCAA school (granted the new FBS-level football team is still getting its sea legs). It is the flagship program for a New England state university, just like Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont and Massachusetts, plus Lowell. It adds another decent-sized TV market and another AHL rink that can be put into the NCAA Regional rotation. It adds a Hockey East home for Connecticut hockey players, most of whom go to BU or BC if they want to play in HE. UConn is a huge school with a large and wealthy alumni base.
Are there obstacles and logistics to overcome? Sure. But those are hockey obstacles, which smaller schools like Merrimack and Providence have shown us to be things that can be fixed.
- guest
Merrimack has certainly done great things to put their program at a competitive level. We'll see how they are at the first real turnover of talent under their current coach which is either this coming season or the next. A lot of teams are in the cycle of good years/off years and disappears. Hopefully Providence really is able to get back on the right track, there definitely needs to be more competition. Do you really think a CT kid would stay in state if he could play at a top tier program? UConn needs to build and get competitive. Sneaking into HE is not the answer.
- Col. Forbin
Merrimack is a tiny school with a tiny athletic budget. UConn is a national brand that has won 3 national championships in basketball in the last 15 years and played in an Orange bowl. Furthermore it's a major research institution and the best state school in the northeast.
The reason they've been non-competitive in hockey is primarily that they have never funded it before. They have zero scholarships for their men's hockey team, so it was basically a glorified club team. However, like Penn State, all they need to be major players is funding – to put the team on scholarships, to build better facilities, and pay for top coaches. UConn get get that kind of funding easily enough; after all, up until the mid 80s, the basketball team was an average regional team like BU or Northeastern. Then they joined the Big East and committed funds to having a nationally competitive program. There's no real reason that can't happen in hockey.
- guest
Nobody is trying to knock the quality of UConn as a school or their athletic contributions. But they are a basketball school first and foremost, their football program is always going to be a drain on other sports (not basketball). You can open up the scholarshps but until they build to a level of competition they are going to struggle. It makes more sense for UConn to build up to that in Atlantic Hockey before making the jump.
- Col. Forbin
From Hockey East's perspective, UConn is really the only school in the region that has the resources and the name recognition to enhance the league's profile nationally. Once UConn decides to commit to its hockey program, and it sounds like they are ready, they are in a unique position to be an upper echelon hockey program. If you look at the other BCS schools with D1 hockey (BC, ND, all the Big 10 schools), only Ohio State isn't a perennial tournament team. That isn't coincidental. They have the biggest athletic budgets, which translates into the best facilities, best coaches, best recruiting, etc. There's no ECAC team that can hang with Uconn in terms of resources, and those resources will eventually translate to a strong program. Think of it like Penn State joining a league with 4 established powerhouses. It will take a few years, but eventually they'll be on par with the others.
- Blinky The Wonder Chimp
Sweetheart, I don't want to break the bad news to you but you will be long gone from this earth before Uconn is ever an upper echelon hockey program in D1.
They are going to be a terrible failure. It's going to be quite sad to watch. I just hope the league is able to kick them out like the Big East did to Temple for being such a mess (similarly played off campus in a pro facility).
- Blinky The Wonder Chimp
Basketball championships and a trip to a bowl game by playing in a terrible league isn't going to help the Uconn hockey team win any games. Let's just put that on the table and leave it there now so people can stop repeating such a stupid concept.
- YuppieScum
Hockey is the #1 sports program at Merrimack. It will never be higher than 4th at UConn.
- Blinky The Wonder Chimp
TV market for a sport that no one watches. Yes, very relevant and important. We need to get those tv ratings up so instead of having 200 people watch it we get 12 more people in Hartford and 212 people watch that killer Uconn-Merrimack game.
- Spanky
This move will open up a 12th spot in Atlantic hockey conf. A perfect fit for UAH…a garbage program in a garbage league. Now everyone should be happy (except the new WCHA will have an odd number teams but not the end of the world)
- Mike
Alabama Huntsville in Atlantic Hockey …. Wouldn't take them long to compete there. Just look at Air Force, Niagara, and Robert Morris. All 3 of those old CHA teams do just fine in Atlantic Hockey.
- ritalum
This is awful. Uconn doesn't have the skill level, facilities, or fan base to make this jump. All it does is lock in other teams looking to get out of the AHA *cough*.
- bronxbomberz41
You know they probably said this about Merrimack and UMass-Lowell, and those two teams were really good this year. Merrimack has sustained 3 years of quality play, and the young River Hawks look to do the same. Its hard to recruit for new England when you have BU and BC dominating the recruiting classes, but even the addition of scholarships will help the UConn men's program. Don't count them out just yet. They may be the cellar dwellers for a few years, but I bet if they do it right, they will improve as a program, just like Merrimack and Lowell
- Peter Gross
This is a logical move although it is a big jump for Uconn. HE includes all the big NE state schools. Great move. For Uconn it means an upgrade on many levels. Skill will come because they will be more competitive for recruits.
- Hockey East
Rumors are that UCONN has a short list of coach's and is looking to do a coaching upgrade as well if they move to HE.
Rick Bennett-Union
- Blinky The Wonder Chimp
Uconn would be a terrible downgrade from Union.
Uconn to Hockey East is a terrible, terrible idea. They are a big name school that is going to play in a niche of a niche sport that no one watches on tv… it's bad enough they added Notre Dame for television when no one watches. Facilities are terrible so they will play in Hartford? Upgrade plan for existing on-campus facility is minimal and it will still be a craphole facility in relation to the rest of the league. And sure, they've always done well when they commit to it. Right? As if any of that other stuff matters. But yes, like, maybe the 3 best teams will leave Hockey East too so they can pretend to be good like they do in football?
- bronxbomberz41
I'm pretty sure NESN broadcasts of HE games does pretty well. Maybe not as well as the Bruins or Sox, but people watch it. If UNH is on NESN, you bet that at the local bars in NH will be playing that game.
- Joe C
If you look at it from the state of the two hockey programs (UConn v Union) today, then your arguments are valid.
If you look to the future and growth of college hockey and Hockey East in particular, start by comparing the following differences:
1) Size of the student body/alumni base
2) The national name recognition
3) Size of the television market
4) Proximity to Boston and the other HE programs
As for Notre Dame, the NBC Sports Network and Hockey East is enough of a reason. They are putting games on TV. Games that I can see here in Virginia. They constantly reference college and junior affiliation for the NHL playoffs. (Of course, that is a mixed bag because I have to hear about BC players too much). NBCSN gave me the first view of DU's arena during a Denver/North Dakota game, which I watched 1,500 miles away.
Just because UConn is terrible at men's hockey today means nothing. Penn State will be terrible out of the gate in BTHC, too, but you will be seeing them on your cable tv soon enough. This is the growth of our sport.
- YuppieScum
It's like HEA ref makeup-call. Add one great program, add one crappy one to balance it out.
- steel country hockey
"When the door opens, you sometimes have to go through the door." Wow… great quote.
- Jim
I hope that they eventually plan to get a on-campus facility or it wont work.
- Blueline892910
Sadly it is going to happen,but UConn is NOT a Hockey School…they need a New Arena…a program that is dedicated to the game and they are NOT….just a bad move by H.E.
- css228
- bronxbomberz41
Great opportunity for UConn, great opportunity for Hockey East. CT is a good place for Hockey, and the extra exposure to second most populous state in the region (5 of the top 10 cities in the region for population) for other HE schools will also help. It should also help further increase the brand of college hockey in Connecticut (Yale and Quinnipiac are hard places to get into).
To me the move that made little sense was ND. I don't mean to be parochial, but Hockey East is really a New England conference. Not only is ND out of that region, its out of the east coast, out of the time zone. That was a pure money move to get NBC Sports exposure and because BC football and basketball has an old, imbalanced rivalry with ND (damned private catholic schools). ND is a midwest school, really a Big 10 school, and should have joined the Big 10 hockey conference. But because ND football spurned them in the past, there is no way the hockey team could have joined them.
- Marine3045
Agree about Notre Dame.This makes it harder for schools with smaller budgets to travel. Do not want to see Hockey East blown up and see schools like Merrimack or Lowell looking for a new home.The tv contract is nice, but hockey east should have been focusing on a school closer to home.
- bronxbomberz41
Even schools with hockey programs that would be recognizable at a national level don't have a huge travel budget. UNH only goes outside of the northeast for 1, maybe 2 weekends a season.
- collegehockeyfan
ND joining the Big 10 is awesome in theory, but only member schools can join the conference with the BIG 10 bilaws.
- Former Uconn
I'm a former Uconn player. The main reason why they're not competitive in AHC is because there are NO scholarships, due to Title IX. The football team gets 90 and there are no women sports that have nearly as many. Thus, they could not add any scholarships to a sport like men's hockey. Holy Cross & Uconn, I believe, are the only D1 schools in the country that have no scholys.
If Uconn was able to find a way to get scholys, their recruiting would be better and this would be the only chance to succeed in HE. Obviously, going to the XL Center in Hartford would be a good recruiting tool as well..
What I'm saying is that there are reasons why Uconn has been middle of the pack in AHC. If those reasons were eliminated, they could be competitive in HE. Only time will tell…
- ritalum
RIT is a D3 school and can't offer D1 scholarships either.
- Joe C
I am pretty sure none of the Ivies offer athletic scholarships. They circumvent this with "academic" and "need-based" scholarships, of course.
- Joe C
Absolutely agree that the lack of success in AHA was due to the priority that UConn gave to men's hockey. Just like Penn State's two new hockey programs will have to get a lot better, since they never existed. Large state schools with an emphasis on athletics can field competitive teams in any sport.
While many here have joked about UConn's BCS Bowl experience, the fact is that UConn indeed went to a BCS Bowl. That the game was terrible is beyond the point. UConn went from FCS to FBS and made a major bowl.
- Chrisgal
- Nick
Good ECAC Should be for ivy league schools we need 1 more team in hockey east. Quinnipiac University bobcats and we have it made. hockey would be solid.
- guest
Someone should get Pitt to promote a hockey program, good market, good pro fan base, more than a few top tier players out of that area. Until that happens though, the smart move is to get an established school into hockey east.
"It is a great opportunity should it be offered to us to move into the strongest hockey league in the country."Uh, oh. Game on, WCHA.
- ReturntoGoldCountry
Hockey East should try and get Miami of OH as their 12th member and leave the NCHC high and dry. They are already stretching West of OH to get Notre Dame, and going to these schools for Hockey East members is not as bad as WCHA/CCHA teams having to go to Alaska
- Chrisgal
Love that idea. Live in CT and hate UConn. Whining crybabies when BC left Big East, now looking to get into ACC. Eff them. Miami would be perfect and ND would have travel partner….
- Goeast
Uconn joining h.e. Is the right move. Besides RI all ne state university hockey are part of h.e. The uconn women's team is also part of h.e. The men's team has been treated like a step child for far 2 long. No scholarships, little funding. Without Bruce Marshall and his fundraising ability, the women's team would still be club, title 9 football? And students would still be skating in an outdoor rink. The school has all it's sports competing at the highest level. Why not men's hockey. After all, there are many in state players going to other h.e. Schools. There are very few schools that compete at the highest level in all sports. Uconn has the chance to b part of that group
- Badger Bill
HEA should add either U Conn or Quinnipiac. U Conn has a huge student body but their hockey program doesn't draw well in their current small arena.Could it the teams that they're playing ? In Madison it's hard to get tickets to see Minnesota or North Dakota. That's not the case with Alaska Anchorage or Mich Tech.
It seems like Union did okay this year without any scholarships, right ?
Seems like CT is a state that likes hockey and might support a team, especially if they get a chance to see BC or BU every year. Case in point, it's been reported here that western Nebraska football fans bought Wyoming season football tickets when Nebraska was on their schedule because they cannot get tickets for Lincoln.
On the other hand, Quinnipiac (like Bemidji in the WCHA) has a recent hockey tradition of playing well against the big boys in their conference and in the NCAA tourney.

Early exposure to basic math concepts is vital to avoid innumeracy later on, Missouri study says
One in five adults in the U.S. can't do basic arithmetic problems such as adding fractions, working with measurements and doing whole number arithmetic problems, according to a new study about how math skills develop. More precisely, 22 percent of adult Americans are functionally innumerate — a word that sums up the inability to do math problems in the same way the word illiterate describes the inability to read or write. The millions of Americans who fit in this category don't have the basic math skills for most modern jobs, the study says, including jobs open to people without college degrees.
The study, by researchers at the University of Missouri, showed it is important for children to comprehend that written numerals represent quantities by the time they enter first grade. They also need to be able to solve simple arithmetic problems by grouping numbers, not just counting.
The long-term study followed 177 children from kindergarten through seventh grade. It found that children who don't grasp the meaning and function of numerals before they enter first grade fall behind their peers in math achievement, and most of them don't catch up. Those who start first grade behind their peers in math achievement remain at heightened risk for low scores on math problems through seventh grade.
It's the first study to link starting points of math knowledge to outcomes that will affect kids later in life, said psychologist David Geary, an author of the study.
Predicting innumeracy
"We know very little about the precursors of later innumeracy," Geary said. "A lot of focus has been on preparation for college math, and not as much focus on the bottom 25 percent of students who won't be going to college — and in addition to that, will have employment problems."
When Geary says young children must be taught to understand "number systems," he means they must thoroughly understand that numerals represent quantities that can be broken down in various ways. The numeral 9, for instance, can be expressed as several differing number sets: 1 and 8; 2 and 7; 4 and 5; or 3 and 3 and 3, for instance.
That understanding is the starting point for solving more complex problems, such as adding 7 to 18. A young child lacking understanding of "18" as a quantity might try to solve the problem by counting to 18, then counting seven more — probably losing track along the way. But a child who can break numbers in to sets, and who understands the numeral "18" as a quantity, can do the problem quickly: start with 18 and add two to make 20, then add five to make 25 — the right answer.
"A kid who understands that a numeral represents a quantity doesn't have to count," Geary said. "It's much easier, and has many fewer steps. But you can't do it in this more sophisticated way unless you understand numbers and quantities.
For the study, statistical adjustments were used to even out the subjects' differences in IQ, classroom behavior, gender, race and other factors, Geary said. These controls made up for the fact that some students might start school ahead of peers in math, and stay ahead, because they have more native intelligence or enjoy more life advantages.
It's whether children have been taught about numbers — and when — that matters, not how smart or advantaged they are, according to the study. And that means there is hope for changing the crippling effects of poor math achievement, which include heightened chances for dropping out of school — a connection identified in a 2007 report published by the National High School Center and funded by the U.S. Department of Education.
"If we catch (math comprehension problems) early enough, it's something we can probably do something about," Geary said.

When I first put these Catalina Island pants on they felt wonderful! But within an hour they had stretched to the point of being too long and I kept stepping on the cuffs. I don't go outside the house in them because also within an hour, they had wrinkled like I had pulled them out of the laundry basket. The apparent shirt chambray that they're made of quickly expands out at the waist and hips, never to return until the next wash.I wanted badly to like these pants, and probably would have if the fabric had been a little thicker and more durable. I like the wider leg.They might be better with a belt on a taller, thinner person whose abdomen didn't stretch so much during the day.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

If you want a non-skinny jean these are the jeans for you. I can't even begin to tell you how comfortable they are, I could wear them all the time. They make me look fantastic.

Relationship Violence
- What is Relationship Violence?
- Are you, or is someone you know, in an unhealthy relationship?
- What are the warning signs?
- What to do if you are experiencing relationship violence.
- What to do if someone you know is experiencing relationship violence.
- If someone has been sexually or physically assaulted.
What is Relationship Violence?
Relationship violence is a pattern of assaultive and coercive behaviors, including physical, sexual, and psychological attacks, as well as economic control, that individuals use against their intimate partners.
Relationship violence often follows a pattern of three phases characterized by increasing tension, explosion, and calm. How long each phases lasts is unpredictable.
Phase 1:
Increasing tension - Anger, blaming and arguing.
Phase 2:
Explosion - Battering (hitting, slapping, kicking, choking, use of objects or weapons), verbal threats, sexual assault.
Phase 3:
Calm - Abusers may deny violence, say they were drunk, sorry, and make promises that it will never happen again. Periods of calm tend to diminish over time.
Are you, or is someone you know, in an unhealthy relationship?
- Is your partner resentful or jealous of the time you spend with your friends?
- Are you afraid of being hurt or of the response of your partner when he/she becomes angry?
- Has your partner ever physically harmed you or threatened to do so?
- Are you afraid to end this relationship?
- Have you done things that you didn't want to do to keep your partner from getting angry?
- Does your partner's behavior become violent when drinking or using drugs?
- Does your partner disrespect your feelings or beliefs, ridicule or humiliate you?
What are the warning signs?
Usually there are signs that violence may erupt in a relationship. Because the signs are subtle and, because the victim cares about the batterer and believes it was a one-time incident, the signs are often overlooked or even dismissed.
Some early warning signs include your partner's controlling:
- your time
- who you talk to
- when you see family or friends
- whether you work or get an education
Your partner may also criticize:
- how you dress
- your appearance
- how you behave
- how you parent
The first incidents of violence often include grabbing, slapping, or pushing. In time the incidents can escalate to strangling, punching or even using weapons.
It is important to trust your instincts at the start of a relationship. If you have concerns talk to friends, family, or a counselor about them. GenEq's victim advocate may also be helpful.
What to do if you are experiencing relationship violence.
- Know where to go for help and keep telephone numbers with you.
- Tell someone you trust what is happening to you.
- Find a friend you can stay with in an emergency. Leave some clothes with them.
- Plan and practice how to leave your home safely and quickly.
- Pack a bag with a spare set of keys, a pre-paid phone card, emergency phone numbers, children's birth certificates, diapers, a set of clothes, important papers, prescriptions, and some cash. Hide it in a place where you can take it on your way out.
- Keep any evidence of physical abuse, such as ripped clothes and photos of bruises and injuries.
- Open a bank account in your own name.
- Use resources to get the medical care, counseling and other assistance you need.
What to do if someone you know is experiencing relationship violence.
- Be supportive by listening and taking what the person says seriously.
- If you want to hug or touch the person to show your support, ask him or her first. Remember, the person may have been violated and did not have control over what was done to his/her body. By asking if the person wants touch, you help him/her take back control.
- Don't ask "why" questions; they can make the person feel judged.
- Tell the person that it's not his/her fault. Most survivors will blame themselves for what happened. It is important to counter that with strong messages that the relationship violence is the fault and responsibility of the perpetrator and not the survivor.
- Don't judge his/her actions leading up to, during, or after the incident. Regardless of what the survivor was wearing, drinking, etc., the perpetrator is responsible.
- Allow the person to make his/her own decision about whether or not to report the relationship violence, who to tell, etc. Support those decisions.
- Allow the survivor to share what he/she wants when he/she wants. Don't pressure the person to share information before he/she is ready.
- Offer resources.
- Encourage the person to get support.
- Tell the person that everything he/she decides to share with you is confidential (see the exceptions below).
- Get support for yourself. You deserve it.
If someone has been sexually or physically assaulted.
If someone has been sexually or physically assaulted...
- Ask "Are you hurt? Do you need a doctor?"
- If the person needs medical attention, ask: "Do you want me to call Urgent Care or Highland Hospital?"
- If the person says yes, then you can call:
- University Health Services
- Urgent Care: (510) 642-3188
- Highland Hospital Sexual Assault Center
- 24-hour crisis line: (510) 534-9290
- Emergency Room: (510) 437-4557
- The hospital that the survivor is insured at.
- University Health Services
- If the person says no, then remind the person that if he/she wants to report the assault, or at least keep that option open, then he/she should preserve all evidence.
A medical examination does not mean that the person has to file a report.
At the very least, he/she should be checked for STDs, HIV/AIDS, pregnancy, and other concerns.
- If the person says yes, then you can call:

The World Bank often describes its open data program as "data about what we know" and "data about what we do." In other words, development/research data and operations data. I think it would be helpful if the data catalog was organized this way, so that users interested in just one kind of data can filter out the other kind.

The amount of big E3 2014 reveals have been teased by Sony Computer Entertainment, the publisher behind "The Last Guardian" and the tentatively-titled "Uncharted 4." According to a report from Dual Shockers on May 31, a representative from the company posted a short video from the "Tron" movie with a few modifications. Some fans believed that the footage hinted that there may be five or six announcements planned for the event.
Some of the potential reveals may have been leaked, however. One of the titles should end up being "Project Beast," the next video game from the developer behind "Dark Souls" and "Demon's Souls." From Software decided to partner with Sony Computer Entertainment Japan Studio to work on the PS4 exclusive title. Some clips from the trailers were recently posted online.
The first gameplay reveal of "Uncharted 4" may also be shown off at E3 2014 as several insiders are reporting that it has already been showcased internally. The visuals are described as being better than other graphically impressive games such as "Quantum Break" on the Xbox One and "The Order 1886" on the PS4. Players may be able to control two characters as the potential sequel could take place in two different timelines.
Another heavily-rumored title is a new intellectual property from the studio behind the "Killzone" franchise. The video game is categorized as a role-playing title with a female lead and robotic dinosaurs as enemies. It is expected to come out sometime during the fall season of 2015 in the North American region.
Finally, "The Last Guardian" fans have been waiting for years to hear more about the long-delayed project. Sony Computer Entertainment has reassured the community that the video game is still in development although the publisher has not yet provided any indications as to whether or not the development has been moved to the PS4. You can find an image advertising the E3 2014 press conference from the official Playstation Twitter page with the photo attached near the top of this article.

Have Fun and Shoot Straight !!
Thanks everyone. He already has a Ruger 10/22 that I bought for him the day after I found out my wife was pregnant. I just can't wait until I can take him out in the woods for walks and stuff. Yesterday we were watching some hunting shows together. He can't focus much past 12", but he was just starting at the TV wide eyed. He also likes to be put in his bassinette(sp) next to the fish tank (25-gal brackish) and watch the bubbles and fish.
Last night he was very good. Slept from 9pm to 1am without making a peep or coo. Then my wife took over and we had to wake him up for a feeding. She said he slept most of the night and woke up only a couple times for a diaper change (or "butt change" as she calls it). We are starting to learn his habits. He likes to camp out on her breast for a couple minutes, starts feeding for a couple, falls asleep, and starts over for a bit. Whatever. Keeps him happy.
He lost some weight in the hospital, as all breastfed babies do. He is on the gain again and yesterday was 5-12, so he is about a half pound lighter than birthweight, which is actually pretty good. He's such a peanut.

As fate would have it my wife gave birth to our son, Kenneth Patrick, on October 14th! I, like you, am also a 10mm shooter so there will be one in his future but the first thing he will inherit is the S&W model 60 my dad used for CCW as do I on occasion since he passed. Little Kenny will be the third Kenneth to carry that piece, all with differrent middle names, and I plan on having it engraved some before giving it to him. Nothing insane as first and foremost it is a carry piece and I don't want that forgotten.

Hi ladies, I've fallen in love with a necklace from Anthropologie. It's not on their website, but I found a picture of it online. Sadly, it's $298, and while I do love it, I can't afford it at that price. So, I'm wondering if you could find me something similar at a more reasonable price? I'm hoping for something under $50, if possible. Thanks! ~ Emily PS I found a picture of it on the Effortless Anthropology blog."
Oh, Anthropologie, Anthropologie... We love your wares, truly we do, but we hate hate HATE those outlandish prices. Lucky for you, Emily, there are a ton of similar pieces for way, way less out there right now, since the "thrifted charm necklace" look is big. If none of these are quite right, build it yourself! Hit up a thrift store for a base chain and add funky charms as you find them in thrift stores, craft shops, antique stores, etc.

To help celebrate the beginning of the month, Summit has released the 2nd official clip for the upcoming film Divergent.
In this scene, we see Tris in the middle of her stimulation (looks like the one from the end of the book for her Dauntless test) and she realizes that it's not real and breaks through the glass.
The first clip was released two months ago and it was of Four showing Tris his tattoos and them sharing their first kiss. Fans received the clip with high praise and it got them prepared for the movie to come out.
There has been a lot of focus on the Divergent over the last few days as Veronica Roth has released the covers for the final three books in Four's short stories and ten new stills were released. Also, Summit has announced that the tickets for the movie will go on sale on March 4th and the movie is expected to make around $50 million opening weekend.
Divergent stars Shailene Woodley, Theo James, and Kate Winslet and is set to come out March 21st.

The effort to ban bath salts in Florida began right here in Bay County. Last year Sheriff McKeithen alerted the state that certain kinds of bath salts can be used as an illegal drug, which led Attorney General Pam Bondi to ban the synthetic drug.
The DEA's action bans the chemicals used in making bath salts across the nation.

The 240 page book is mostly photos of a week in Abruzzo and a week in Campania, two very different parts of Italy. Abruzzo covers Civitella del Tronto - the hill town, the fortress and cooking school. Campania covers Sorrento, the Almafi coast, the Isle of Capri and Pompeii. It also contains a section on Ostia Antica where our last night was spent before flying out of Rome - a great spot 10 min. away from the airport.
Taught high school art until 1999 in a rural school teaching 6 different courses including digital photography and computer graphics. I now have time to do more gardening, traveling and photography leading to Blurb books.

I've been wanting to play LOTR SBG rules more, but in the Warhammer setting/models. I know the easiest route is to simply use the existing stats/rules and try to proxy them with fitting Warhammer figures.. but I'd prefer to do a complete conversion where the Warhammer models are represented properly in SBG rules. I've heard of a stats calculator a few times, but can't seem to find any working links.
Also not sure how the points would work out just converting a model over from Warhammer to SBG. Our group is relaxed and not really competitive so as long as the points are close enough to be a good gauge of what a model is worth, we're good.
Thanks in advance for any help/input.
If it helps any.. here are the races in the group:
Vampire Counts, Orcs, Ogres, Dwarfs, Dark Elves, Chaos, Lizardmen and Empire.

This slim lipstick is housed in a click pen–style component, but there's actually a lipstick inside instead of color being dispensed onto a built-in brush applicator. Beyond the packaging novelty, this is a great lipstick, but the price tag is nothing more than a marketing ploy. Yes, the colors are attractively sheer and you get a finish so glossy your lips look positively drenched in shine, but it doesn't last and quickly travels into lines around the mouth. It is an understatement to say that there are plenty of very good glossy lipsticks for a fraction of this price from lots of other brands.
Cle de Peau Beaute At-A-Glance
Strengths: None of note among skin-care items; even the best products are not worth the money when compared with superior versions from other lines that cost slightly to considerably less; foundations that provide excellent coverage without looking heavy; a magnificent concealer; good highlighting powder and eyeshadows; one good mascara.
Weaknesses: Too many to list, but major ones include: average to ineffective moisturizer and serum formulas; no sunscreens; no products to address acne; several products sold as nourishing or anti-aging that douse skin with alcohol or other irritants; makeup products rated as average that are definitely not worth the investment.
Shiseido-owned Cle de Peau Beaute has a great French name that means "key to beautiful skin," but even a cursory overview shows that it is merely the key to the most inane waste of money. We wish there were a way we could bestow a sense of the truth about what women are really buying from this line with a swoop of a wand or a mind meld! The reality is, aside from having no sunscreen—which leaves skin completely vulnerable to the very damage this skin-care company makes every claim it can repair—these products contain nothing unique or out of the ordinary. While most of the products contain some amount of antioxidants, cell-communicating ingredients, and anti-irritants, the amounts are so minuscule they are inconsequential for skin, and for this kind of money that's offensive. Moreover, the formulations are repetitive, with few significant, bona fide differences among them, despite sometimes wide swings in prices.
Where Cle de Peau excels is in its propaganda of beauty at any cost, especially really expensive cost, regardless of fact or reality. Words such as "extraordinary" and "elegant" pepper the literature for this line, with the none-too-subtle message being that of luxury and obtaining the crème de la crème among skin-care products. Although several of their moisturizers have indulgent textures and are packaged in exquisite containers, it takes much more than that to create efficacious skin-care products whose substance equates to more than mere style. A few Cle de Peau products were reviewed favorably, but we can't in good conscience recommend this line given the prevalence of equal or better formulas from many other lines, most without the price tag that contributes immeasurably to the opulent image Cle de Peau has cultivated.
For more information about Shiseido-owned Cle de Peau, visit www.cledepeau-beaute.com.
Note: Many of Cle de Peau's formulations are variations on what Shiseido itself offers for much less money. Shiseido doesn't necessarily have better formulas (although their sun-care line is formidable and worth a look), but they offer proportionately more products we feel comfortable recommending.
Cle de Peau Beaute Makeup
Without question, this is absolutely one of the most expensive collections of makeup sold today. While the prices defy logic or reason, at least the majority of the products perform reliably well and most have beautiful, soft textures that are easy to work with. Of particular interest are the cream foundation and concealer, and the mascaras, pencils, blush, and eyeshadows have their strong points, too. However, when you consider that products costing considerably less share these strengths, the decision to purchase from Cle de Peau comes down to how large your cosmetics budget is and how important the image of ultra-high-end prestige is to you and your makeup bag.
The salespeople for this line go on and on about how each makeup item is an extension of the treatment benefits attained from their skin-care products, but a review of the ingredient lists for almost every cosmetic below clearly refutes that claim. Ironically, even if the makeup were an extension of the skin care, that would be bad news, because the skin-care products are some of the worst on the market.
Nothing in this makeup is special, unique, or even all that competitive with what the cosmetics industry's frontrunners are creating for you. Nevertheless, the main reason to consider Cle de Peau makeup is if you're looking for a selection of silky foundations that provide substantial coverage without the heavy, masklike look of days past. That attribute is one of the reasons celebrities often claim to use Cle de Peau's foundations and concealer.

OAKBROOK TERRACE, Ill. — The Coin Laundry Association (CLA) will host its second biennial Excellence in Laundry Conference May 14-15 at the Ocean Reef Club in Key Largo, Fla., the association reports.
Launched in 2012, the Excellence in Laundry Conference features educational sessions, networking opportunities and exhibits, with the goal of helping self-service laundry owners improve and grow their business.
"We had such an overwhelmingly positive response after the first Excellence conference in 2012 [that] we realized this needed to be a recurring event to help Laundromat owners take their businesses to the next level," says Brian Wallace, CLA president and CEO. "There's no other event in the laundry industry where you'll be able to network with the very best in the business and learn tried-and-true strategies from some of the country's leading business authorities."
Speakers attending this year's conference will include branding professional Bruce Turkel, CEO of Turkel Brands; business strategist Chuck Bamford, Ph.D., founder of Bamford Associates; and legislative analyst Joe Crosby of MultiState Associates, according to the CLA.
In addition to the educational sessions, laundry professionals will be treated to a welcome reception on May 13, a dinner gala May 14 and a beach party May 15.

As Liberal's soccer players huddled before their home opener Tuesday night, some of them said this is a new season. And who could blame them for saying that after a 1-3 start away from the LK and playing in a stadium in which they had never lost.
But the Dodge City Red Demons had other ideas. Dodge came to town and handed the Redskins their first loss in Redskin Field 1-0. Dodge snuck a goal from the right past goalie Ricardo Castro into the north net at the 14:44 mark in the first half. Liberal hit the cross bar of the goal on multiple occasions in the second half. But they still don't have a goal other than a penalty kick against Wichita South in their one overtime win.
The Redskins are 1-4 and 0-2 in the WAC while Dodge City is 3-2 and 1-0 in the WAC. They host 5-1 Garden City Thursday night at 6 p.m. at Redskin Field.

The main attraction Thursday morning in Bowling Green was the Cemetery Road design plan.
It brought more than a dozen community leaders from across Kentucky who are looking to take on similar projects. The group attended a panel discussion and presentation at the L & N Depot followed by a visit to the Bowling Green Gateway Corridor.
The beautification project has been in the works since the 1980's. Visitors say they were impressed. "It's amazing. It really makes a difference to put attention in landscape. It looks like people here pay attention to detail and care about their community."
Summer maintenance starts Friday morning with mowing, weeding and treatment of the area from Briteway to the I-65 interchange.

Howdy campers. This has been an odd year as far as local weather is concerned. We are having a record drought, yet we're also seeing violent thunderstorms pretty regularly this last week. This is a dangerous combo.
Think of the ground as a sponge. When that sponge is totally dried out, water can run right across the surface with very little absorption. Now apply the same principal to the ground. In a sudden rainstorm the earth doesn't have time to soak up enough water to give it the ability to soak up that water. So, just like the sponge, the water runs right across it or in this case, down. When choosing a campsite in the near future, look at what's up hill from you. If there's very sparse vegetation and a lot of hard dry soil, a burst of rain could leave you running for higher ground. Camping in a ravine or gully causes twice the potential for water, but the danger goes up markedly. That ravine will fill up just like a river in a lot less time than you would think. Unfortunately many people are either hurt or even killed by flash flood conditions each year.
Another problem this year has been the fires. By stripping away what vegetation there was, they have left the hillsides completely bare of anything that would slow the water down causing conditions for a super-flash flood. Again, compounded multiple times by being in between two such hills.
So please be aware of your intended campsite and it's location relevant to any hills. If you are unfamiliar with reading a topo (topographical) map, this site can show you how. Use that to familiarize yourself with the surrounding topography. If you're unsure of your location's condition, call the local forestry office and ask.
Be safe out there campers!
Until next time, I'll see you on the trail
Today's (not so) Quick Tip: With the rain being so prevalent this year (in the mountains that is) it's a good time to renew your equipment's waterproofing. For this I prefer the Gear Aid line of products from McNett. One key difference between Gear Aid and its competitors is that washing and drying the garment in the solution re-binds the repellent to the fibers. Most other companies sell products that work more like a wax for a car. It places a water resistant barrier over the top of the garment. They both work very well at first, but the Gear Aid products are known to last much longer.

The number of migrants from Romania and Bulgaria has fallen since border controls were lifted but rose over the long-term.
15:39, UK, Wednesday 14 May 2014
The number of Romanians and Bulgarians working in the UK has fallen by 4,000 since transitional controls on immigration were lifted on January 1.
Figures from the Office of National Statistics show 140,000 people born in one of the two countries were employed between January and March this year.
That is down from 144,000 between October and December, suggesting concerns about mass immigration following the New Year have been unfounded.
However, the long-term trend has been marked by an increase, with the figures up 28,000 compared to the same period last year.
Employment Minister Esther McVey said: "People were predicting the influx, we can see that has not happened."
Instead there has been a gradual increase, she said.
The Prime Minister has previously said that the numbers coming in since January have been "acceptable".
Last Autumn, he laid out a raft of tough new measures to curb immigrants' access to benefits amid fears of the increasing numbers.
UKIP have been benefitting electorally from fears around the issue.
The Conservatives will be relieved about the latest figures just weeks before European and local elections in which UKIP is expected to do well.
UKIP have seized on the overall trend in immigration - arguing that there are 292,000 extra people not born in Britain working in the UK since January last year.
That is a 7% rise and includes 168,000 more from the EU.

Momma Cooks Breakfast with Hog, Day is Only Mediocre
LOS ANGELES – Despite a Los Angeles man's efforts to have a good day, his momma has cooked a breakfast containing pork products, rendering his day mediocre.
Brian Johanssen, a man who just wanted to have a good day, said that, "my mom made bacon and eggs, and immediately, the day went from a good one, to just pretty average."
When questioned, Johanssen's mom said, "I was only trying to give him some strength on the basketball court. I wanted my little Bry to fuck around and get a triple-double like last week." According to reports, Johanssen could not even manage a double-double.
And while the Lakers just beat the Nuggets, Johanssen remains unsatisfied. Johanssen does not possess an AK, but was forced to use his pepper spray as a preemptive strike after spotting a carjacker in his rear view mirror.
To make matters worse, Kim could only fuck part of the night. As Johanssen read the lights of the good year blimp–which read "Brian is moderately successful with the ladies"–he reflected on the day.
"I gotta say, it wasn't a bad day, but it wasn't a good day. It was definitely a day."
