Growing up in Calcutta, Nerissa Ward would walk to her neighborhood open-air markets, gathering fresh, seasonal ingredients to make everything from bhelpuri to shepherd's pie with biryani. With a German-Armenian mother and a Barbados-born father, the Anglo-Indian girl developed a deep love for fusion cuisine prepared with organic produce and humanely slaughtered halal meat.
After moving to the United States, where she worked in a soul food restaurant and eventually ran an international cafe at Google, Ward longed to marry the global flavors of her childhood with the dietary guidelines outlined in Islam. Even though Ward is not Muslim, she has always kept halal. Halal interpretations vary, but, to Ward, now a chef living in Santa Clara, it has always meant that animals used for halal meat are fed natural grains, grass or corn and are not injected with hormones or chemicals.
To her, halal "is like having an organic stamp."
"It's just better quality," she says. "I'm very conscious of what I put in my body, and I want that for my customers, too."
Two years ago, Ward traded in the Google kitchen for a pink mobile one. Her food truck, Chutney Mary's -- a British term for a colorfully dressed, flashy lady -- brings creative, gourmet fusion halal cuisine to the streets of Silicon Valley. From her Armenian-style loco moco to her halal gumbo and candy-studded pomegranate chicken salad, Ward is one of several chefs expanding the offerings of halal food in the Bay Area and giving it a modern, gourmet touch.
On Aug. 17, Ward and two dozen other chefs and food purveyors, including Jimmy Sujanto of Berkeley's Padi and Ike Shehadeh of Ike's Place sandwich shops, will participate in California's first Halal Food & Eid Festival in Newark.
Co-founder Irfan Rydhan hopes the festival's eclectic mix of goodies -- which include Southern fried chicken from Oakland's New Africa Cafe and tapioca drinks from Livermore's Donut Wheel -- will help increase the general public's understanding of the Bay Area Muslim population's incredible ethnic diversity.
Sujanto, whose Padi menu includes home-style Indonesian food made with intoxicating blends of sweet soy sauce and spicy sambal, will engage the festival crowd with a cooking demo of his most popular dish, sate ayam, or chicken satay.
To make the tasty skewers, Sujanto marinates halal chicken thighs in a peanut sauce he crafts with fried, skin-on peanuts, lime juice and sweet soy sauce. His Berkeley restaurant has only been open eight months, but demand among the Muslim community was so high, Sujanto opened a second Padi last month in San Leandro.
"Most of the Malaysian restaurants in the Bay Area are not halal," he says. "When the Muslim community found out about my food, they were pretty excited. We had to stay open late most nights during Ramadan."
Rydhan also hopes the wide variety of food at the festival inspires even more of the Bay Area's estimated 300,000 Muslims to eat strictly halal. According to Zabihah.com, the world's largest guide to halal eateries, there are 443 halal restaurants and 118 halal markets in the Bay Area.
"There are more options than people think," Rydhan says. "We have halal soul food. We have halal cupcakes."
To be considered halal, non-meat items must be blessed and handled by a practicing Muslim and cannot come into contact with swine flesh, a category that includes gelatin. But the range of halal dishes the Bay Area offers runs the full menu gamut, from high end dinner fare to some killer sandwiches.
Ike's Place founder Ike Shehadeh has developed hundreds of sandwich and sauce recipes since he opened his first uber-popular sammie shop back in 2008. To date, there are 100 halal sandwiches on his menu, including the sweet orange-glazed "We're JUST Friends" halal chicken sandwich and the Caesar-smothered "Backstabber."
Shehadeh wanted to broaden halal options to include an everyday American staple like the sandwich.
"Wherever I went, even New York, I wasn't seeing a huge variety of halal foods," says Shehadeh, who just opened his ninth restaurant in Walnut Creek. "Most of them were Mediterranean or Middle Eastern. "Personally, I offer it because I don't want anyone to miss out on a great sandwich. It was the same when someone came in and told me they couldn't eat gluten. I got gluten-free bread."
Nerissa Ward, of Chutney Mary's, sees halal the same way.
"I have a lot of Muslim friends and family who come to my house or truck and rejoice that they get to enjoy foods that they normally wouldn't have," she says. "I make Southern fried chicken that is halal. They wouldn't be able to find that in a traditional restaurant."
And, just as in Calcutta, everything Ward serves comes from within walking distance of her home.
halal food & eid festival
California's first Halal Food & Eid Festival runs from noon to 7 p.m. Aug. 17 in the main parking lot of NewPark Mall (between Sears and Macy's), 2086 NewPark Mall, Newark. In addition to two dozen food, drink and dessert vendors from around the Bay Area, Halal Fest will host a bazaar selling clothing, jewelry, books, toys and artwork, plus live music and rides for the kids. Free and open to the public. Bring a can of vegetarian food to donate to the Rahima Foundation and be entered in a raffle for prizes.

I really Like Randy's passion. A poor choice now based on personal politics would be a very bad idea.ReplyDelete
Well, even if it has been defused, or if it's still alive, a good show of fan support never hurt anything. I would really like to see INDYCAR stay the course.ReplyDelete

It's gotta be John Barnes, right? Owner of a Chevy team that thinks they got screwed in Turbogate. Just got a big fine for complaining about Turbogate on Twitter. Owner of a team that is competitive on ovals but struggles on twisties, in a league that now primarily races on twisties. Original IRL owner that remains friendly with the old regime. Makes sense, right?ReplyDelete
If it was Penske, Randy would already be gone. It has to be one of the smaller teams.Replies
I couldn't say, and it's unlikely we'll get a clear answer, so my focus is more on support for RB than anything.Delete
Thanks for doing this. Totally agree he is the right man for the job. He's the best leader the league has had in my lifetime.ReplyDelete

FREMONT -- I bit into a pulled pork sandwich at a Mowry Avenue eatery one afternoon and, as if by magic, felt I'd been transported somewhere beneath the Mason-Dixon Line.
I wondered if I'd awakened from a fever dream in a Deep South juke joint where every meal was a guilty pleasure lathered in barbecue sauce and sad songs by gravel-voiced bluesmen danced by my eardrums.
Smoking Pig BBQ does that to me.
It might just be proof that I need a vacation. Or maybe the mouthwatering meals at the Fremont restaurant, which wears its love for Southern food and blues music on its sleeve, might just be that good. I -- and my taste buds -- vote for the latter.
Paul Reddick, a former tech entrepreneur-turned-restaurateur, opened the first Smoking Pig in San Jose in 2011. The Fremont branch opened last month and, despite little fanfare, customers welcomed it with lines that snaked into the parking lot by noon.
Tri-City customers, it seems, share Reddick's passion for Southern-style food.
"The challenge of making barbecue is addicting, and I just want to get it right and authentic," Reddick said. "Everything we make is by hand and takes hours. I don't want to cut corners -- to me, that's cheating."
The new restaurant's wide-ranging, affordable menu reflects his enthusiasm for traditional barbecue fare: ribs, Louisiana hot links, beef briskets and other staples, and a sides menu filled with barbecue beans, greens, and mac and cheese, among others.
At each table, an array bottled sauces -- including the spicy "Kansas City Hot BBQ" and the mustard-flavored "Carolina Sassy" -- stand within arm's reach.
A few appetizers lean on bacon, that time-tested crowd pleaser, to complete the meal. A "Chicken Lollipop," for instance, features smoked, marinated chicken wrapped in bacon, and a Potato Grenade -- also bacon-wrapped -- is stuffed with macaroni and cheese, and a jalapeño pepper holds cheese and sausage.
Nearly every dish there unashamedly aims for a customer's lipids. So good. So unhealthy. So what? I'll always come back for more for food this tasty.
Plus, Smoking Pig aims to please, not gouge. A budget-conscious diner there can eat plenty, down a beer, leave a fair tip, and spend just $12. And those counting calories can order a whole salad for $6.50.
"This is my style: down-home," Reddick said. "I just want to make food that everybody can enjoy, from people who live in the hills to the working man."
The restaurant serves wine and beer, and has a bar stocked with liquor and surrounded by nearly 10 TVs.
But its best nonmenu feature is its bluesy ambience, creating the Southern-style atmosphere that fires Reddick's imagination. It also reflects another of his passions.
Photos of musicians B.B. King, Robert Johnson and Albert King cover the walls in the 6,000-square-foot building. The speakers play the blues, but not too loudly, like a good sauce augmenting the meal, not dominating it.
Smoking Pig also has injected some spice to Fremont's night life by hosting blues performances on Wednesday, Friday and Saturday nights.
"Barbecue and the blues go hand in hand," Reddick said. "Both have a laid-back, comfortable style that has depth and beauty. They're both unpretentious but also delicious."
Out & About is a monthly column that highlights the wildly underrated entertainment scene in the Tri-City and greater Hayward areas.
out & about: Smoking Pig BBQ
The Fremont restaurant-bar is at 3340 Mowry Ave. It opens every day at 11 a.m. and closes at 10 p.m. Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays; at midnight Wednesdays; and at 1 a.m. Fridays and Saturdays. For details, call 510-713-1854 or go to www.smokingpigbbq.net.

So, you've made the choice to try a GNU/Linux distribution or distro and have completed the installation. But now what? While doing some spring cleaning on my desk, I came across the notes from my last distro installation. Here are the key tips that made my last transition from Windows to GNU/Linux easier.
Be aware, GNU/Linux approaches many things differently than MS Windows: Different isn't bad, really, it's not. However, be realistic and expect a learning curve. Remember Windows is not programmed into our DNA, we all had to learn Windows somewhere along the way. A dash of persistence and patience may be necessary in transitioning to GNU/Linux.
A little preparation goes a long, long way: Organize and consolidate your music files, picture files, word documents, spreadsheets and other important data. Save your data to some type of external media for the transfer. You will also be creating a backup if something goes wrong along the way.
Use Mozilla products to prepare your email and browser data for a transfer:
Since email and internet browsing is a large part of our computing life, we'll tackle these as separate steps to our data consolidation.
If you use MS Outlook Express, a quick and relatively easy method is to use Mozilla's Thunderbird email program to transition your email file. When starting Thunderbird for the first time, the Import Wizard starts up and you can choose the Outlook Express option to import your email, addresses and mail settings. MozillaZine has additional details at this link.
Similar to using Thunderbird on email, you can use Mozilla Firefox to transition from Internet Explorer while still within MS Windows. After you install Firefox, the Import Wizard will launch upon startup. Stepping through the wizard imports your Favorites, cookies, options and stored passwords. This will duplicate your IE setup within Firefox. You can find further directions at this link.
Then save your Thunderbird and Firefox profile folders to your external media. The Mozilla Support website has good directions under the FAQ's on locating and moving your profiles.
Or simply export your bookmark file from within IE7. If you haven't gotten too crazy with add-on or plug-ins, you may be able to get away with just exporting your bookmarks. In IE7, click on the "Add to Favorite's" button, the yellow star with the green plus sign, and choose the "Import and Export" option. This will launch a wizard that will step you through the process of exporting your bookmarks. Save the exported file with the rest of your data.
Check your distro's repository first for software you want to load: Imagine MS keeping a site full of Third party, and often competing, software. While this seems like an alien concept, that example accurately describes the situation for a GNU/Linux distribution. This is a real mindset change for the typical Windows user. We are used to downloading various programs from various websites and executing the installer file.
However, with GNU/Linux, you typically download your software from just a few locations, called repositories, that are maintained by the distro. Software installations are managed through a package manager with a GUI front end, typical examples are: Synaptic, YAST, YUM and urpmi. Running the package manager gives you access and allows you to install the software with the repository.
While you can find
.deb files or
.tar files to download and install, you may be best off sticking with your distro's repositories, at least up front. It will save you a lot of time and frustration trying to figure out why that program you downloaded didn't work.
Set up support for Wireless Networking and Multimedia formats: Out-of-box support for Wireless Networking, MP3's, encrypted DVD's and other proprietary formats varies widely from distro to distro. Take the time to check for your distro's support and the instructions to add support if necessary. Remember most free software media players will be unable to play DRM-protected files, for example: songs purchased on iTunes.
Change OpenOffice defaults to MS Office formats: I love the ODF concept. However, I realize that most people I interface with use MS Office. There are some projects in development to allow MS Office to open ODF files. But until then, switching your default format will allow you to easily share files. To change your file format, choose Tools → Options → Load/Save → General. Then under the Default File Type section, you can choose your document type and your save as options.
Try using WINE, TransGaming's Cedega or Codeweaver's Crossover Office: If you have a MS Windows application that you absolutely cannot live without, then you can try one of these options to run the application within your GNU/Linux distro. Wine is a free software solution and should be available in your repositories. Cedega is a proprietary solution geared towards games and is offered on a monthly subscription basis. Codeweaver's is another proprietary solution with an emphasis on productivity applications.
Move your data: Copy your data from the external media to your "Home" folder which may be under your user name. The "Home" folder is similar to the "My Documents" folder within Windows. For example, the Home folder "Chris" contains folders for pictures, music and documents.
My prior Windows use of Firefox and Thunderbird made importing browser and email settings extremely easy. I simply transferred my Profile folders over and pointed the applications to these profiles. I also like to keep my Firefox and Thunderbird profiles in my "Home" folder to facilitate any future transfers. After all, there is always a another distro to try at some point.
If you want to use Evolution for email instead of Thunderbird, then import each MBOX file into Evolution using File → Import and choosing each individual file. Choose the file without any extensions, Inbox instead of Inbox.msf. Further help can be found at the following Mozilla FAQ.
Test that everything works: Now is the time to make sure everything works. Send a test email to yourself. Check your bookmarks. Play some music and videos. Begin exploring specific applications you will regularly use.
Most importantly, have fun learning and playing with your new GNU/Linux distro.
Good choices
These are some great choices. I've been using Firefox and Thunderbird for about 3 years now. I love all the various extensions you can get for them, specifically Firefox. With multiple computers, consider using the extension Google Browser Sync and you can share your bookmarks, history, cookies, previsously opened tabs, etc. I use it between home and work. And Thunderbird is a great choice for email. If you need calendar/alerts within it you can use the Lightning extension. Works great! If you're needing to do image work, check out The Gimp.
Please just use ODF
Nice article, but please don't recommend people to use *.doc - or we'll never get out of the horrible situation of lock-in, monopoly and very bad interoperability.
The MSO plugins you refer too are already available and have been for a months. No less than two of them exist.
Please use ODF. If people complain that they can't open the documents with MSO, respond like this "Really? That's strange, ODF is a completely open ISO-certified standard? I wonder why MS would not support that format, weird, talk about bad service for their customers." - and then point them to OpenOffice.org or one of the above plugins.
Looks like this is perfect
Looks like this is perfect for Word documents, but support for Excel and Powerpoint is in development. I'll point my friends and acquaintances who prefer using MS Office to these plug-ins. Thanks for the inputs.
Relicensing your article?
Chris, would you be willing to relicense your article under the GNU GFDL (with no cover texts and no invariant sections)?
The reason why I ask: A few people from the BadVista mailing list are trying to put together a section about transitioning to GNU/Linux over at the BinaryFreedom wiki: http://wiki.binaryfreedom.info/
I started with a FAQ at http://wiki.binaryfreedom.info/index.php/Switching_to_GNU/Linux_FAQ. Your article is excellent and would be perfect as a starting point for further extension (as would your previous articles, btw).
The wiki is currently licensed under the GFDL. If you would kindly consider relicensing the article, I'd like to make a few changes, like adding information on how to avoid using external media (an exchange partition), remove the links to the proprietary Wine extensions, elaborating here and there, etc.
What do you say?
(You can also contact me via e-mail at <foetsch AT yahoo com>.)
Kind Regards,
Please make it clear...
I will be linking to your excellent article in my online Journal today. I'd just like to ask that, to prevent confusion, that you please make it clear that users who use Mozilla Thunderbird and Firefox to convert their Windows email and browser data and settings must install those programs and do the conversions WITHIN WINDOWS, not within Linux.
Fair point. Thanks for the
Fair point. Thanks for the feedback.

Deputies responded to a report of a couple fighting near a vehicle stopped on the shoulder of eastbound Interstate 70 near Dotsero on May 24.
A 25-year-old woman was seen throwing objects at a 31-year-old man and then getting into the vehicle, which continued on I-70.
Officers caught up with the suspect vehicle - a white pickup with a camper shell - and pulled it over after seeing the truck veer into the left shoulder from the left lane. An officer told the couple about the report of their fight and asked what happened.
The man said he lost his job in Utah and they were on their way back to Denver. The woman was screaming at him, so he pulled over and asked her to get out. She wouldn't, so he pulled her out and she fell down, then started throwing things at him. He said "it probably looked bad" but he "loved her to death."
The woman identified herself with what turned out to be a fake name and initially denied anything happened. Then she said the man did throw her out.
Deputies saw several sores on the woman's face and arms that were consistent with drug users. They asked her if there were any drugs in the car and she said no, if there were any they belonged to the man.
The man denied having any drugs and denied permission to search the vehicle. A drug dog alerted to the driver's door handle two separate times and officers were able to obtain a search warrant. They found a container with needles and multiple burned spoons along with other containers of marijuana and marijuana pipes.
The man was arrested for domestic violence, harassment, possession of drug paraphernalia, driving with a revoked license and failing to drive in a designated lane. The woman was arrested for criminal impersonation, domestic violence and harassment.
A Wolcott resident called deputies May 30 to report shots being fired from a neighboring house onto his property where he had horses.
Officers went to the house and contacted a group of 19-year-olds who said they were shooting at ground squirrels with a .22-caliber rifle off the back deck. The teen who lived there said he did it often and made sure the gun was always at a downward angle. He estimated about 100 rounds were fired.
A deputy told him he could not shoot rifles from his deck for a few reasons: he was not more than 100 yards from other occupied structures; the property was on a golf course and classified as a resort; and he was under the influence of alcohol.
The young man was cited for prohibited use of a weapon and underage possession and consumption of alcohol. The other teens were not cited since they were led to believe the activity was OK.
Deputies were called to a store in Gypsum on May 31 for a shoplifter that had been caught.
The 38-year-old woman admitted to trying to steal a shirt by stuffing it in her purse and stealing other items from the store in the past. The shirt was worth $10. She was cited for theft and banned from the store.
A deputy stopped a car on Miller Ranch Road in Edwards on June 2 when he saw the two occupants weren't wearing seat belts.
The 21-year-old man apologized and said he had been caught. He added that his driver license was suspended for some tickets he hadn't paid.
He was cited for driving with a suspended license and not wearing a seat belt.
A Gypsum man called deputies on June 3 when he heard a loud banging sound from his neighbor's apartment on Jules Drive.
It was unusual because he usually hears people walking up the stairs after the door opens. When he didn't hear foot steps, he went next door to greet his neighbors and saw their door was kicked in.
The residents had slept through the noise until officers woke them. They had no idea who might be responsible. Nothing appeared to be stolen. The damage was estimated to cost $1,000.
Deputies were called to an Eagle-Vail apartment complex on June 4 when a drunken 19-year-old man was speeding around the parking lot.
The reporting party said the man parked and ran inside an apartment, leaving an open can of beer next to the car, when she tried to confront him. When officers arrived, the woman pointed to the suspect sitting on the second-floor balcony and the car he was driving. The open beer can was still next to it.
The officers asked the man if he had been driving the car. The man said no. His speech was slurred and he appeared to have trouble balancing as he stood up. He said he didn't have a driver's license and wasn't driving. He went inside and his father eventually came out to talk to the deputies.
The father was also intoxicated and said his son had just left the apartment and he didn't know where he went. He said he didn't know where his son got alcohol, either, because his boy had come home drunk.
Deputies searched the area and found the teen, who finally admitted he'd been driving. He said he was learning to drive a stick-shift. He refused roadside sobriety tests and a chemical test, saying he didn't care if his license was revoked because he didn't have one in the first place.
He was arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol, underage possession and consumption of alcohol and reckless driving.
• $400 was stolen from a purse left unattended at a concert venue in Bond on May 27.
• The lock and handle were pried off of a walk-in freezer at an Eagle-Vail golf club between May 29 and 30. No food was stolen and the club manager suspected the burglar was looking for alcohol.
• Four iPods were stolen from the New America School in Gypsum on May 15. The iPods belong to Eagle Valley Schools.
• The back window of a van was smashed out while it was parked at an Eagle-Vail apartment complex June 5.
• A rock was thrown through a window of Battle Mountain High School in Edwards between June 5 and 6. The window is estimated to cost $1,000 to replace.
• Deputies photographed murals spray painted inside a wildlife tunnel near Battle Mountain High School and sent the photos to the school's teachers to see if they might identify the artist.

Coach James and the Highlanders pick up their first win

When the hunt began for the late Mary Broderick's nearest relatives, no one imagined that genealogists would find clusters of cousins, who never knew each other, living within miles of each other in Massachusetts.
Boston.com reports on the amazing story that saw the heirs of Mary Broderick claim their rightful stake of her $1.5 million estate she left behind with no will in Galway.
Patricia Fontaine, of West Roxbury, MA was doubly stunned by the news of her unknown cousins and of the inheritance they'd be receiving.
"When we came to find out that I actually have cousins who live in Newton and I live in West Roxbury — I thought it was amazing, the whole thing," she said in a recent interview.
"The money is one thing, but to trace our family tree, to find out who was here, it was amazing."
The meeting of the cousins who were otherwise strangers was filmed by an Irish documentary program 'Dead Money,' which debuted on RTE last year. The series, which was nominated for an IFTA, follows genealogist brothers Kit and Steven Smyrl in their search for heirs to unclaimed estates in Ireland.
In their search for Mary Broderick's rightful heirs, they looked to Michael Brophy, a genealogist who specializes in Irish-American ancestry and is based in Massachusetts. Brophy began his own Brophy Professional Genealogy and Heir Tracing in 2004, not soon before getting laid off from his job as a medical salesman.
Mary Broderick, born Mary Shaughnessy, married late in life and had no children or siblings. She moved to her husband's farm in Galway, where she lived well after her husband's death.
In 2008, at 78, Broderick died, leaving no will for her estate valued at $1.5 million. Under Irish law, her estate would be inherited by the closest living relatives. In this case, Broderick's estate would go to her first cousins or their children.
Tracing Broderick's heirs on her mother's side was easy, but on the father's side, not so much. Broderick's paternal grandparents had 10 children, but in post-famine, late 19th-century Ireland, most of the them had to emigrate to find work.
Six of the Shaughnessy children (who would be Broderick's aunts and uncles) left Galway for Massachusetts, many of them finding work in an iron foundry in Waltham. William Shaughnessy, Broderick's father, stayed in Galway, along with three other siblings.
Only three of the Shaughnessy siblings still had living descendants and were entitled to receive a stake of the inheritance - Henry and Edward Shaughnessy and Elizabeth Minihan. They were the three among the six siblings who had emigrated to the US.
Brophy was put on task to find the descendants of those three people, who would be Broderick's first cousins. Despite an abundance of Shaughnessys in Massachusetts, Brophy was able to quickly locate the ones he needed using vital records and obituaries.
However, trying to convince Broderick's heirs that they were entitled to a piece of her estate turned out to be the tricky part.
"People are skeptical. [They think] it's the e-mail from the Nigerian prince," said Brophy, referring to a prevalent online scam. "Their first reaction was that it was a scam."
Beth Schiavone, whose father William Shaughnessy was Mary Broderick's first cousin, and her six siblings certainly believed it was a scam when they first heard they could be getting an inheritance.
However, her father, William Shaughnessy, whose father Henry Shaughnessy had emigrated to Massachusetts from Galway, who had suffered a debilitating stroke and was nearing the end of his life at the time, hoped it was true.
"It was laughable to him that now that he can't even walk he might have a little bit of cash," Schiavone, of Worcester, said in a recent interview. "He sold automobiles most of his life and it was a struggle."
Unfortunately, William Shaughnessy passed away in 2009 never knowing if the inheritance would be held true or not.
A few years later, the family received a letter indicating they were among 17 beneficiaries of Broderick's estate, each getting $36,000, Schiavone said.
"And the next thing you know, they were trying to get all of us to meet," Schiavone, 46, said. "We have Shaughnessy relatives from Newton, Massachusetts. We had no idea."
Roger Shaughnessy, the son of Edward Shaughnessy and Broderick's first cousin, comes from nearby Newton in Massachusetts and stepped forward to claim his stake.
However, the family of heir Margaret Minihan, daughter of Elizabeth Minihan, did not come forward to claim the inheritance, believing it to be a scam, Brophy said.

One car dealership in Augusta is rolling out the welcome mat for those who worked at Walker Acura in New Orleans.
Most of us know Cotton Flynn as the voice and face of Acura of Augusta. But to two New Orleans evacuees, they know him as a lifesaver.
"I met Cotton Flynn, adorable gentleman, he is just absolutely adorable," said Samantha Cole.
Samantha Cole and her family had to evacuate quickly from New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina left much of the city underwater.
"We had to walk through the water through a nearby park, water up to our chest about and climb the interstate," Cole said.
Samantha left the city behind and her job at Walker Acura in New Orleans. Acura of Augusta General Manager Cotton Flynn stepped in.
"Actually they are asking every dealer to pitch in and help these folks," Flynn said.
Acura of Augusta got the word out through the May Park shelter. It seemed like a perfect fit, from one Acura dealer to another.
"They were just so warm and welcome to help me in any and every way that they could," Cole said.
Along with Samantha, Richard Dawson was just hired by Acura of Augusta as well.
"For Acura to the mall of Augusta everybody's been taking care of us," Dawson said.
Samantha was selling on average 15-18 cars per month in New Orleans. She wants to bring that knowledge and experience to Augusta as she makes this her permanent home.
"I'm not familiar with the market, but I know in New Orleans I was pushin' them, so Augusta here I come," Cole said.
Wal-Mart has also been instrumental in hiring hurricane evacuees.

AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW) -- A Richmond County deputy is recovering from a broken ankle after getting injured while responding to a call.
Deputies received calls about a suspicious person on the 600 block of Broad Street around 4 a.m. Sunday. When they got to the scene, they say 40-year-old Barry Lee Davis was acting erratic. Deputies called an ambulance after Davis started complaining about having trouble breathing and chest pains.
While deputies were gathering information, they say Davis took off running, taking off all of his clothing.
When he reached the 800 block, he allegedly started throwing himself up against the windows of multiple businesses. Deputies say when they tried to restrain Davis, he started fighting with them.
Deputy Ronald Blanton broke his ankle during the altercation.
Davis has been charged with felony obstruction of a law enforcement officer.

Hi Every one,
I am pretty new user for PS3 media server. I installed the latest beta release of PMS it worked great with my TV. I could play my laptop stored media files without any problem but I can not see any web contents like youtube and game trailers.
First I tried with the VideoLan streaming engine to check the youtube video and it failed. I searched few topics here in this forum and found that, videoLan engine is no longer supported by VLC. So, I switched to MEncoderWeb and gave it a try and result was same. In Trace, it says, "Mencoder.exe has a return code 1. check the log."
Here, I have attached the debug.log file and it seems, the PMS opens a connection with youtube video and tried to read the stream but the stream is not seekable.
Machine Config : Intel core 2 duo 1.66 Ghz, 2GB ram
Thanks in Advance.

Tech Industry Sends Letter Asking For NSA Transparency
Silicon Valley is cranking up the heat in its battle with the National Security Agency over government surveillance.
On Thursday, nearly two dozen tech companies including Facebook Apple and Google, along with privacy advocates such as the ACLU and Electronic Frontier Foundation, sent a letter to congressional leaders, intelligence leaders and President Barack Obama, urging greater transparency in how the government demands consumer data from the firms.
At stake is the Silicon Valley's reputation for protecting consumer privacy after a rocky summer, following revelations from NSA whistle-blower Edward Snowden that numerous technology companies participated in a slew of surveillance programs.
Several of the companies implicated in Snowden's leaks have previously pushed the U.S. government to let them disclose more details about the number and nature of the data requests they receive.
The new letter amplifies various tech company's requests, pressing the government to offer the public more information about government requests for information as a matter of policy.
"Just as the United States has long been an innovator when it comes to the Internet and products and services that rely upon the Internet, so too should it be an innovator when it comes to creating mechanisms to ensure that government is transparent, accountable, and respectful of civil liberties and human rights," the letter reads.
The letter also urges Congress to pass legislation "legislation requiring comprehensive transparency reporting by the federal government and clearly allowing for transparency reporting by companies" without asking for permission.
Kevin Bankston, a senior counsel at the Center for Democracy and Technology who led the letter campaign, said such transparency is critical for the Internet economy. The companies that signed on to the bill want to be able to better report government requests to "rebuild trust that's been lost in the midst of reporting about the national security programs," he said.
Aside from the letter, Apple in particular has met in recent weeks with the Privacy and Civil Liberties Oversight Board, a group appointed by the President, to advocate for transparency over national security-related requests it receives, a company spokesman said. "Apple has always placed a priority on protecting our customers' personal data."

Chris Mooney | November 16, 2011
By Chris Mooney • Wednesday, November 16, 2011 - 07:20
Over the last year, I've had numerous blogospheric encounters with the conservative climate "skeptic" Anthony Watts, the author of WattsUpWithThat. In the process, I've been particularly struck by how Watts handles inconvenient evidence.
Twice now, I've seen Watts make a mistake, and then seem to rationalize it, rather than simply correct it. I've also seen Watts shift the goalposts, refusing to accept inconvenient evidence even after saying he would do so.
What's up with that?
Look: We all make mistakes. And we all adopt beliefs that later turn out to be incorrect. There's nothing wrong with that per se; it's actually quite natural. What really matters is what we do after we're proven wrong. So let's see what Watts does:
Research on Astroturfing. A while back, I introduced the blogosphere to a social science study on online anti-global warming astroturfing. Watts then leapt in, accusing the researchers of having "setup fake websites to gather fake data."
I have no idea how Watts got his idea about the researchers setting up fake public websites. But it was incorrect. The researchers were not creating fake sites that could deceive unknowing web surfers. They were showing sites to research subjects in a lab setting–and of course, debriefing them afterwards, in line with standard procedures.
But the sites were not actually online, live for the world to view.
I pointed this out, and noted with some amusement that Watts and his commenters had been slamming the study based on a basic misconception–barking up the wrong tree repeatedly, until somebody on the thread bothered to read the actual paper.
Watts then responded by further defending himself—implying it was the study authors' fault that he had misinterpreted them, because they didn't use the actual word "Intranet":
Note the word "website", which appears 56 times in the full paper. The word "Internet" appears once, in the bibliography, and the word "Intranet" does not appear in the paper at all. Why wouldn't they mention that the study was conducted on a private Intranet and not on the World Wide Web?
Answer: because it is obvious, to anyone reading the study or familiar with such research, that this is a controlled experiment in a laboratory setting, in which research subjects are shown something on a computer screen but not pointed to an actual live URL.
Watts then quickly found another reason to bash the study:
In other words, they didn't study websites in the wild, but copied wild ones and manufactured "tame" ones of their own design that never left the lab.
There would be some serious control problems with such a "live" experiment…not to mention potentially lending some strength to Watts' initial complaint about the risk of deceiving unwitting web surfers!
Note the underlying point here. Watts launched a baseless attack on the astroturfing study. When his error was pointed out, he tried to blame the study authors, and came up with new criticisms, including protesting that they should have conducted the study in a way that he himself had previously claimed would have been deceptive and misleading, or even unethical.
On to episode two:
The BEST Study. I just wrote about this one, and it is quite telling.
A while back, Anthony Watts wrote of the headline-grabbing Berkeley BEST study that "I'm prepared to accept whatever result they produce, even if it proves my premise wrong."
But when the study came out and he didn't like its findings, Watts instead engaged in a phenomenon called goalpost shifting. Look at how he now talks about the BEST work: In a recent post, he referred to the "incomplete and rushed, non quality controlled, error riddled BEST science."
Are we noting a common theme here?
On to episode three:
The Republican Brain: My next book will not be out for about 6 months. Nevertheless, much like the Astroturf study, Watts attacked it without reading it. He justified doing so by claiming that someone else had reviewed the book, so he could rely on that review instead:
Chris Mooney has come up with new book to explain why people like you and I are "abby-normal" for not unthinkingly and uncritically accepting all aspects of
climate disruption. I haven't read it, though the cover itself speaks volumes. I won't commit the same dumb mistake that global warmingclimate change Peter Gleick committed when he wrote his bogus non-review of Donna LaFramboise's IPCC book, so I'll let somebody who has reviewed it speak about it. Dr. Roger Pielke Jr. Igor
But this was incorrect—Roger Pielke, Jr., had not reviewed my book, nor could he have because my book is not out. So Watts basically did commit the "dumb mistake" he was claiming he wouldn't commit.
I pointed this out. So Did Watts then say, "Whoops, sorry"? Or did he come up with more reasons to criticize me?
The proof is here. Read it for yourself.
Why is all of this significant?
If you can't admit it when you're wrong, you also can't know when you're right. If you don't hold your opinions and beliefs tentatively, subject them to scrutiny, and then try to parse out which of them truly hold weight, then you run the risk of rushing headlong into all manner of self-serving biases.
And please note: This has nothing to do with whether or not you're smart. Smart people (like Watts) are in fact particularly vulnerable to this problem, because they're extra good at rationalizing their views. Even as they're super awesome at finding apparent problems with the arguments of those who disagree with them, and arguing back against their opponents, they're often oblivious of their own biases.
But it doesn't matter how many great arguments you can spin out to defend what you believe, if you can't also perceive where your beliefs might be untrue. Without self criticism, all your self-supporting arguments amount to little more than spinning your wheels–while you remain stuck in the mud.

Part of it is being and
Part of it is being and enjoying being a media or a new media personality. Watts is looked to for his instant and educated opinion on everything related to climate and so there is a constant need to react and take a position as an authority figure of sorts and then to defend those opinions. I'm sure the same phenomenon applies about equally to desmog writers.
Team players
Chris, your analysis is excellent, but I think you make a mistake in assuming that Watts and his followers actually care about the truth. They're only interested in "rooting for the home team", right or wrong.
Maybe Watts is ADD?
WUWT = Fail

fox is just an automatic dirty word around here isn't it. What if it turns out to be just another news and opinion network that isn't actually out to destroy the universe?

Here's Episode 4
(from http://scienceandpublicpolicy.org/originals/policy_driven_deception.html)
4. Global terrestrial temperature data are gravely compromised because more than three-quarters of the 6,000 stations that once existed are no longer reporting.
5. There has been a severe bias towards removing higher-altitude, higher-latitude, and rural stations, leading to a further serious overstatement of warming.
This claim has been utterly and completely debunked by a number of "citizen scientists" on the web. In fact, the claim is so easy to debunk that it's almost embarrassing. All you have to do is compute global-average temperature anomalies for all stations vs. just the stations still reporting data. Do that, and you will see that the results are almost identical. This is something that on-the-ball students could do in their second-semester C++/Java/whatever programming class. It just isn't that difficult at all.
But in spite of these facts, Anthony Watts has yet to retract (or apologize for) making those embarrassingly easy to disprove claims.
The bottom line is, "Defensive Reasoning" boils down to "incompetence plus dishonesty".
Pretty lame attempt there Chris...
WUWT won "Best Science Blog" award while Desmog biggest claim to fame is that it has almost as many paid propoganda writers as Joe Romm's "Think Progress" site.
We all know there are some questionable claims made on both sides of the AGW argument but they by far more numerous and beyond belief from the warmist camp, ok?

Lame attempt Hank
WUWT 'best science blog'.
Well it's perfectly possible to gold-plate a turd, but that doesn't mean it's made of gold.
You are obviously easily fooled.
PeterS.Mizla replied on Permalink
Romm and most if not all of his assertions at climate progress are backed up by solid data, facts and obsevations that NASA, NOAA, National Academy of Sciences the IPCC, IEA and others give regarding global warming.
The IEA- a very conservative organization said November 9th we have a few years left to keep global warming to a maxiumum of '2 degrees C' above the pre-industrial level.
Watts is with Glen Beck- that alone basically disqualifies him from any serious discussion on global warming. Watts was a TV Station weatherman- does this mean he knows more then the aformentioned organizations above? Or do they all represent 'warmests? And Watts has solid credentials on climate science?
1) Anthony Watts & Willis
1) Anthony Watts & Willis Eschenbach trying to hold up & stifle scientific investigation by CRU- Hadley by spamming FOI = Fail
2) Posting dozens of times ( without peer reviewed evidence) about the failure of scientists to account for the UHI, then having NOAA issue an official slap down, basically saying he didn't know what he was talking about = Fail
3) Anthony Watts filing a DMCA to silence Peter Sinclair = Fail
4) Anthony Watts attempt to stop this video = Fail
5) Running weekly reports on the arctic & downplaying ice loss, while every scientific institution said the opposite = Fail
6) Hedging your bets while being a managing member of an electric car company ZEV2Go = Fail
7) Pretending you are not a political anti science blog which is unbiased, while working for an AM radio station with Fox news affiliation & Fox news stars. Plus Butte county Republican party = Fail
8) The irony of an anti science blog, winning a science blog award, voted on via online polling, by non scientists, not dawning on him or his readers = Fail
9) Having actual scientists pointing out your constant mistakes, misnomers & propaganda with ever increasing frequency, while you continue to repeat the same rubbish over & over = Fail
Great post Phil
But of course hard core deniers, liars and discombobulators will continue to 'get their own back'.
Watts is just continuing to dig his hole, at the same time making sure it is big enough for Beck, Hannity, O'Reilly, Monckton, D'Aleo, Bastardi and a number of others who's names are too tedious to mention.

A passenger airplane -- Southwest Airways flight 1905 from Oakland -- slid off a snowy taxiway shortly after 5 p.m. at Denver International Airport.
No injuries have been reported.
"All of the passengers have been safely bussed to the concourse," DIA spokeswoman Jenny Schiavone said.
Airport crews were responding. No details on condition of the aircraft or the number of passengers were available. The National Transportation Safety Board generally gets involved in these types of events.
"An aircraft slid off of a taxiway" and "we've not received any reports of injuries," Schiavone said. "We're talking about a taxiway, not a runway."
Snow has been falling lightly around metro Denver. Airport operations still were classified as normal.

The show starts out with a well played Sloth. Hard to perceive how it went over as a show opener, but it ends quickly regardless and Bouncing starts up. It's still not quite locked in at the proper tempo (still a bit slow IMO), but it's listenable enough. Tweezer So Cold is definitely an early highlight, as it's starting to open up just a bit and show us some jam potential. Fish also has some amusing comments at the end of the song that I won't spoil for you.
Donna Lee is Donna Lee, but it provides a nice cool down between the Tweezer and the Reba, which has finally rounded into form by mid-1990 and is finally being played at a pretty consistently high level. YEM is YEMmy, but is always enjoyable. Seriously, ALWAYS. I love this freakin' song. Following YEM is a trio of average, classic tunes to end the set.
The second set opens with an unassuming Foam and is smartly followed by another Junta tune, Dinner and a Movie. This one continues the band's apparent recent theme of trying to make the vocals of certain songs as noisy and obnoxious as possible, but it works better here than in Tweezer or Highway to Hell. The Possum that follows features a wailing guitar solo from Trey, and although clearly passionate, it's not exactly what I would call "well-played".
IDK and My Sweet One gave us a splash of quick fun and were quickly followed by the Phish debut of Horn. This debut is definitely worth a listen (and when was the last time Horn was the outright highlight of a show)? This version features some gorgeous piano work from Page as well as a variation on the vocals that was probably changed for the better. The tempo is actually a little bit faster than what it would settle into on "Rift", but like any good Horn, it's still full of passion.
Fee and Walk Away are about as average as average gets. Going back and listening to these shows, it's funny knowing what we know about what Phish would become. Right now, they are just a good rock band playing good songs night in and night out. Back then, it must have been a revelation. Now, it's just kind of...vanilla. We're so spoiled.
The Harry Hood that follows, however, is an excellent 1990 rendition of the song. It features a quiet jam building up to an intense peak with Machine Gun Trey making a spirited appearance! Definitely worth a listen.
In an attempt to build on the momentum, they unfortunately decide to keep it going with the always-unwelcome Highway to Hell into a tame Contact. The encore is GTBT and, as usual, it tends to sum up the events of the night appropriately. Good times, bad times. That's a Phish setlist in 1990.
Final thoughts: Despite the good playing, there's just really not a lot of substance here that is worth much more than a passing glance, because you've already heard it in that other 1990 show you listened to...excepting the Horn and Hood, of course. 2.5 stars.

I was fiddling around about a month ago and started tinkering with virtual folders. Long story short, it did not go over well.
I updated to 1.90.1 (1.90.2-SNAPSHOT is what I've tested with tonight) and this spawned the HTTP 500 Error.
At least it only does so from .rar files now.
I removed the vfolders line completely from PMS.conf and rebooted both PMS and then the entire computer.
When that didn't work, I uninstalled and reinstalled the server software.
I have updated Java to 7.0.40 both 32-bit and 64-bit tonight, which Java said I needed to if I run a 64-bit machine.
I tried the new tempdir solution I found in another thread about this issue.
Extracted files work just fine, but not so much from .rar files anymore.
From what I can find in the debug.log, there's a java pointer gone awry somewhere and somehow, and this is messing with the extractor. I could be wrong.
I would very much appreciate any pointers (no pun intended) or advice you can give me about this.

Employment & Unemployment
Women continue to lag behind men in earnings and wages. The underlying reasons for these continuing disparities are cultural, social and economic. While unemployment rates for women have declined less for women than for men during the recent economic downturn, women are still apt to have lower-paying jobs, with fewer benefits, and more part-time and interrupted careers. As the jobless rate for men rises, women are increasingly becoming primary breadwinners for their families, often without increased access to child care, elder care and help with domestic chores and other key supports.

Oakland situation leaves a hole in Selig's legacyAugust 19, 2014 Updated: August 21, 2014 8:23am

He was surrounded by green. The curtains, the podium, the backdrop, even the color of Lew Wolff's shirt as the A's co-owner sat next to him at a makeshift news conference. Which was kind of funny, because Oakland A's green is not Bud Selig's favorite color.

All four bouts between Rafael Marquez (left) and Israel Vazquez featured sustained back-and-forth action, brutal exchanges and lots of blood.
Sometime during the late evening hours in Las Vegas on Saturday, Manny Pacquiao and Juan Manuel Marquez will complete a relative ring rarity – a tetralogy. That's because three fights spread over 36 rounds and seven years weren't enough to resolve the conflicts between the two future hall of famers, their respective brain trusts and especially their most rabid fans.
Although the "Pac Man" holds a 2-0-1 lead in the history books, a compelling argument can be made that Marquez deserved to win at least one fight – if not more. Marquez's strong belief that he won all three combined with the firestorm over last November's majority decision for Pacquiao made fight four possible – and most likely profitable. The closeness of their rivalry is best illustrated by the following statistic: When one adds up the nine scorecards submitted during the series, Pacquiao holds an airtight 1,024-1,017 edge – a difference of just 0.34 percent.
Boxing's Golden Age was filled with rivalries that extended far beyond four acts, with the 20-fight series between legendary welterweights Jack Britton and Ted "Kid" Lewis being the most famous. There have also been more than a few tetralogies that provided tremendous entertainment as well as ammunition for arguments. To honor the fourth installment of Pacquiao-Marquez, here is one man's list of boxing's best four-fight series.

We Tried It: POUND Rockout Workout
Rock band meets Zumba meets Pilates. We're hooked
I'm a fiend for the latest dance-inspired workout (blame my ballet training and Gwyneth-like workout obsession), and jumped at the chance to attend a POUND class last week. POUND?, you ask. Sure, you could dismiss it as a bizarre West Coast fitness thing (basically, hardcore air-drumming with weighted drumsticks), but this is a full-body, drenched-in-sweat workout. In a word, awesome.
I joined two other editors at the Momentum Gym in Santa Monica, ready for a night of dancing and rock stars. I lean towards yupster (yupster = yuppie + hipster), but I wasn't aware of the boho-chic gym attire worn by the diehard POUND crew (Aztec prints and harem pants were the go-to look). Clad in running gear and white sneaks, we stuck out like sore thumbs in the hip crowd. But once the music started blasting, all inhibition melted away.
RELATED: 8 Trendy Workouts Ranked on the Sweat-O-Meter Scale
With one-pound drumsticks in hand, the two founders, Kirsten Potenza and Cristina Peerenboom, led us in a 20-minute sweat fest. These chicks mix full-body cardio jamming with Pilates, isometric movements, and plyometric and isometric poses. Oh, and the entire time you're wailing on the ground and in the air with those drumsticks. Typical classes run for 45 minutes, which torches anywhere from 600-900 calories.
RELATED: 6 Exercises That'll Make Your Cellulite (Almost) Disappear
Once we got the hang of coordinating drumstick movements with the rest of the squats, jumps, lunges, and lifts, we had a blast. POUND is the perfect workout for any music-lover/secret wannabe drummer. Classes are offered in 21 states (plus Canada, Mexico, and Australia), and for a monthly fee, you can stream classes online (and display your air-drummer face in the privacy of your own home). Check their site for more info.

I have been using PMS for about a year now without a hitch. I was using it under Fedora 18 with no problems. However, this week, I upgraded to Fedora 19, and although PMS still works, I've been having trouble with playback on my PS3:
Most avi files don't work with MEncoder anymore (not even starting video)
Most mkv files start fine using MEncoder, but the sound is just one big noise
Although I've disabled MEncoder in the config, it still shows as the default encoder for all files.
I can use FFMpeg to play most files ok in the ## TRANSCODE ## folder, however, I can't have sound + subtitles this way on the mkv files, because FFMpeg doesn't allow me to load the subtitles...
Any help is welcome. If I need to copy some info from a config file, let me know.
Thanks in advance.

Jackie Cira lost her 4-year-old in a drowning accident. Now she's trying to help parents learn from her loss. (WRDW-TV / March 23, 2012)
News 12 at 6 o'clock / Friday, March 23, 2012
EVANS, Ga. -- A 2-year-old is dead and his mother is facing felony charges after the toddler drowned in the family pool earlier this week.
The news brings back a world of hurt for one Evans mother, struggling to cope after an all-too-similar experience. Brody Johnson was only 2 years old when he slipped through the doggy door at a babysitter's home and fell into her swimming pool.
Johnson's injuries were so serious, even two years later, he still has hardly any control over his body. His family has been all around the world, even traveling to China for stem cell treatments.
With summer fast approaching, Jackie Cira is speaking out about pool safety and how to keep your child safe.
"I would not want anyone's life to end up like mine. It changed all of our lives," she said.
Cira's son, 4-year-old son Brody, is slowly doing better each day.
"He's actually doing very well. It is small milestones, but to me, they're huge. He's a huge fighter. He's my hero," Cira said.
Brody's life is tubes and monitors after nearly drowning.
"You can't turn back the clock, and I wish every day that I had stayed home from work that day. I wish I could turn back the clock and bring Brody back," Cira said.
And those terrible feelings came rushing back when she heard about 2-year-old Daniel Stocker, who drowned in his family's pool on Wednesday.
"Katie, it's ripped my heart out. I cried for several days. Every time a child drowns, it takes me back to September of '09," Cira said. "I feel for the family, the friends, just everybody. The loss of a child is just awful."
Daniel's mother, Lisa Stocker, has been charged with involuntary manslaughter and deprivation of a minor. Investigators say Daniel was missing for nearly two hours before the mother called 911.
"It is neglect. You have to watch small children; you have to know where they're at at all times. It does happen very quickly and that's why I've decided to just really try to get the awareness out there make people be more cautious," she said.
Cira said she hopes parents at home learn from these life lessons.
"There are devices that you can add to the pools that when things hit, the pool alarms go off. Number one, if you have a pool, learn CPR, know how to save a life," Cira said.
They're small things that could make a big difference in the case of emergency.
"I wouldn't want this to happen to another family at all," she said.
A few other tips Cira had were to make sure you not only check your pool, but your neighbor's pool as well. She said if a child does go missing, go straight to the pool first.
Cira said Brody is getting better. He has a full-time nurse and goes to therapy just about every day. Jackie was told he would never breathe on his own, but he is -- he's off a ventilator most of the day.

FORT MEADE, Md. (AP) -- The Marine Corps' top correctional officer says an Army private charged with giving U.S. secrets to WikiLeaks was improperly kept on suicide watch for at least seven days of his nine months' confinement at a brig in Quantico, Va.
Chief Warrant Officer 5 Abel Galaviz testified Wednesday during a pretrial hearing at Fort Meade for Pfc. Bradley Manning. The hearing is to determine whether Manning's confinement was so punishing that the case should be dismissed.
Galaviz says the brig commander should have immediately followed psychiatrists' recommendations to take Manning off suicide watch instead of waiting several days, on two occasions.
Galaviz also testified that a board that made recommendations to the commander about Manning's confinement conditions used improper procedures.
The brig commander is scheduled to testify Thursday.

On a Saturday night in Kingsport, Tenn., the highest draft pick in Texas A&M – Corpus Christi baseball history will make his debut, getting the starting nod against the Kingsport Mets as a member of the Greeneville Astros.
After a stellar season for the Islanders in 2012, Daniel Minor will begin his professional career as a member of the Houston Astros organization at the teams Rookie League affiliate in the Appalachian League. Minor was the first selection in the ninth round of the 2012 Major League Baseball First-Year Player Draft, going No. 279 overall to the Astros.
"It has been fun getting into Tennessee," said Minor. "Being in a new state and having a new lifestyle where I get up, go to the field, play a game, go home and repeat it the next day.
"It's a dream come true. Everyday baseball is a great lifestyle; I get a chance to always work on getting better and helping my team out."
The former Islanders pitcher will move right into the starting rotation for Greeneville, getting that start on Saturday after waiting his turn behind players who were already on the roster in Spring Training.
"The first few games, I have just been in the stands charting the games," said Minor. "Getting to see it from that angle gives me confidence that I will be able to use my four pitches to be successful."
The adjustment has been an easy one for Minor thanks to a welcoming group of players, many who were with the team before, and coaches in the organization.
"The guys are great, everybody gets along," said Minor. "This team only has about 10-12 people from this draft, with the others being drafted last year or free agent signings."
The initial plan for Minor is to be a starter, but things could change depending on performance on the mound. After having the most innings pitched for the Islanders this season, the time between the end of the season and the draft has Minor ready for a second season, this time with Greeneville.
"They told me I was going to be starter right now for sure, and maybe go to the bullpen depending on how things go," said Minor. "We will play around 68 games in two-and-a-half months, so it is just a matter of how I feel during the season.
"I took some time off after the Southland Conference Tournament, and started throwing again just before I got drafted, so I feel great right now and I am ready to get back to business."
First pitch for Minor's professional debut is scheduled for 5 p.m. CST, with more information being available at www.GreenevilleAstros.com.
Other former Islanders in the professional ranks include pitchers Todd Simko and Jake Liedka, with former shortstop Brycen Bell being the only position player in the group. Simko is in the South Atlantic League playing for the Hagerstown Suns, the Class A affiliate of the Washington Nationals. Liedka is playing independent ball in the Frontier League for the Normal CornBelters, while Bell plays in the independent Pecos League for the Roswell Invaders.
