Betances does his part in AL All-Star victory
CINCINNATI — American League manager Ned Yost of the Royals came through for Dellin Betances. Aware that Betances never got out of the AL bullpen at last year's All-Star Game at Minneapolis, Yost told the righthander the seventh inning would be all his Tuesday night at Great American Ball Park.
Betances did his part in the AL's 6-3 victory that guaranteed home field advantage in the World Series to the league, although that did not help Yost last year as his Royals lost Game 7 at home to the Giants. Blame that on Madison Bumgarner.
The Yankees' set-up reliever got through the seventh unscathed, much like he has during the regular season. Working with a 5-2 lead thanks to a two-run rally in the top of the inning that was fueled in part by teammate Mark Teixeira, Betances retired Giants shortstop Brandon Crawford on a ground ball to second base. After walking Cubs rookie outfielder Kris Bryant, Betances came back to strike out Giants second baseman Joe Panick, the former St. John's University standout, and set down Diamondbacks outfielder A.J. Pollock on a grounder to third.
In the top of the seventh, Teixeira grounded out to the left side that pushed the Orioles' Manny Machado to third base from where he scored on a fly ball by the Rangers' Prince Fielder. Teixeira had a rougher time in the ninth inning as he made the final out of the game striking out on a 103-mph fastball by the Reds' Aroldis Chapman.
Brett Gardner, the Yankees' other representative in the game, also had a tough night. He was called out on strikes in both of his at-bats, in the fifth inning against the Dodgers' Clayton Kershaw and in the eighth against former Yankees teammate Mark Melancon, now the closer for the Pirates.
It was also announced during the All-Star festivities the Franchise Four for each of the 30 clubs in a vote of fans. The Baseball Writers' Association of America took part in setting up the ballot of eight players from each franchise (full disclosure: I was the BBWAA voter assigned to the Yankees).
It should come as no surprise that the Yanks' Franchise Four were the team's Mount Rushmore: Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, Joe DiMaggio and Mickey Mantle. It is pretty hard to break through that quartet. Younger fans may wonder about Derek Jeter and Mariano Rivera considering all the club records they have, but the other four men helped shape the franchise and are among the most decorated players in baseball history.
For the record, the eight players on the Yankees' ballot in addition to the four were Jeter, Rivera, Yogi Berra and Whitey Ford. Believe me, it was hard to leave players like Bill Dickey and Don Mattingly off that list. This was one of those promotions where the Yankees were hurt because of the richness of their history.
There was a nice moment before the game where the four men voted the game's greatest living players came onto the field — Hank Aaron, Johnny Bench, Sandy Koufax and Willie Mays. I had three of those players on my ballot but chose Yogi over Koufax in a close call. Some might say that Berra belonged there more than Bench, but even Yogi told me once that he thinks JB was the best catcher who ever lived.
Yankees at home for 4th of July Weekend
The Yankees return home Friday night for the first of six games at Yankee Stadium against the Rays (Friday-Sunday, July 3-5) and the Athletics (Tuesday-Thursday, July 7-9).

Yanks grading F's against the A's in Oakland
The schizophrenic nature of the Yankees' season has surfaced again on the West Coast. After sweeping a three-game series against the Royals, the team with the best record in the American League, the Yankees lost the first two games of the four-game set to the Athletics, the team with the worst record in the league. On top of that, Oakland entered the series with a 1-10 record when opponents start a left-handed pitcher, and the A's won Thursday night against CC Sabathia and Friday night against Chris Capuano, both lefties.
Except for the hitting of Brian McCann and Alex Rodriguez, the Yankees have had another offensive breakdown. The loss of Jacoby Ellsbury (strained right knee) is part of it, although Slade Heathcott, who was recalled from Triple A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre to help fill the void, was playing well (.353, 1 HR, 3 RBI). Now Heathcott is out with a strained right quadriceps that landed him on the 15-day disabled list Saturday. The Yankees recalled outfielder Ramos Flores from SWP to take the place of Heathcott, who is expected to be out for a month.
McCann has homered in four straight games, the longest streak by a catcher in the major leagues this season. Mac is one of two Yankees to homer in four straight games while playing catcher since 1957. The other was Mike Stanley (four homers in four games July 20-25, 1993). The only Yankees catcher since at least 1914 with a longer streak is Hall of Famer Bill Dickey, who hit six home runs in five games June 20-25, 1937.
During his seven-game hitting streak, McCann is 9-for-23 (.391) with six runs, 1 double, four homers, 11 RBI and six walks. He has reached base safely in 15 of his past 29 plate appearances for a .517 on-base percentage. The Elias Sports Bureau reports that McCann is the first Yankees catcher with an RBI in seven consecutive games, all as catcher, since Hall of Famer Yogi Berra had an eight-game streak Sept. 11-23, 1956. McCann's streak is the longest RBI streak by any Yankees player since Alfonso Soriano's seven-gamer Sept. 1-7, 2013. Mac is tied with the Padres' Derek Norris for second among MLB catchers with 32 RBI in 2015. The leader is Oakland's Stephen Vogt with 35. Vogt played first base Friday night and drove in two runs with a double in the A's four-run third inning against Capuano.
Also streaking is Rodriguez, with an eight-game stretch in which he has hit .414 with seven runs, one double, one home run, five RBI and three walks in 29 at-bats as his batting average has climbed from .246 to .277. A-Rod has hit safely in 13 consecutive starts and is batting .346 in his past 15 games and 52 at-bats overall since May 13.
Rodriguez's sacrifice fly Thursday gave him 1,996 career RBI to tie Barry Bonds for second place on baseball's all-time list, according to Elias, the official statistician of MLB. Statistics found on MLB.com and baseball-reference.com are not official stats. The RBI became an official statistic in 1920. Rodriguez passed Hall of Famer Lou Gehrig (1,993) for the all-time AL RBI record with a three-run homer Wednesday at Yankee Stadium. A-Rod has scored 1,947 career runs, two shy of tying Hall of Famer Stan Musial for eighth place on the all-time list.
Despite the two losses in Oakland, the Yankees remained in first place in the AL East by one game over the Rays and Orioles, who are playing each other this weekend. The Yankees will also get some reinforcements when Masahiro Tanaka returns to the rotation. He is scheduled to start Wednesday in Seattle in the last game of the trip.
The rotation could use a shot in the, well, arm. Yankees starters are a combined 18-19 with a 4.29 ERA, which ranks 20th of 30 major-league clubs. The Yankees are the only club with a winning record (25-24) whose starting unit has a losing mark. Opposing hitters are batting .275 against Yankees starting pitchers.
Pineda rediscovers his elusive slider
One could certainly say that Michael Pineda cleaned up his act Wednesday. In his prior start, the righthander had a disastrous seven-run inning against the Rangers that included a couple of errors, including one by himself. Very sloppy indeed.
There was none of that in Wednesday's outing as he pitched the Yankees to a 4-2 victory that completed a three-game sweep of the Royals, who have a much more tortuous lineup than that of Texas.
Pineda's work was part of a complete turnaround by the Yankees in the homestand. As bad as they looked in losing three games to the Rangers, that is how good the Yankees looked in winning three games from the Royals and regaining sole possession of first place in the American League East and reminding Kansas City how much more comfortable it is in the AL Central.
"Baseball is a strange game," Yanks manager Joe Girardi said in a major understatement. "Over the long haul things balance out, but over a short span things don't always balance out. Everything begins for me with starting pitching."
That is where Pineda comes in, following quality starts from Adam Warren Tuesday night and Nathan Eovaldi Monday. Pineda gave up a first-inning home run to Mike Moustakas on a changeup and then slammed the door two outs into the seventh inning before he was victimized by the pitch-count police.
"I wanted to keep pitching, but I don't have control of that," Pineda said. "I asked how many pitches I had, and [Girardi] told me 106. So I guess that was it. A starting pitcher goes out every five days so on your day you want to pitch as long as you can, but that is not up to me. We have a good bullpen, so I know they can do the job."
Girardi is known to be cautious with pitchers, particularly someone like Pineda, who has had two major surgeries.
"Michael has never pitched more than 170 innings in a season," Girardi noted. "He's on a pace for 220, 230 innings this year. It's a long season."
The key for Pineda was a return of his slider, which was missing entirely from his prior outing. He worked on some mechanical adjustments in his between-starts bullpen sessions. The results were positive. He allowed five hits other than the Moustakas homer and only one walk with eight strikeouts. While Masahiro Tanaka was having a rough injury-rehabilitation start for Triple A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre at Pawtucket (3 innings, 4 hits, 3 earned runs, 2 walks, 4 strikeouts), Pineda was pitching like a staff ace in improving his record to 6-2 with a 3.36 ERA.
Brian McCann got the Yankees even with a solo home run in the second off the other Chris Young, and Alex Rodriguez made it 4-1 the next inning with a three-run shot that raised his career RBI total to 1,995 to break Lou Gehrig's AL career record. The long ball resurfaced for the Yankees in the series. They totaled six home runs in their six-game losing streak. They homered eight times in the three games against KC.
Pineda worked out of tight spots in the fourth and fifth innings and stranded two runners on base each time. He was particularly impressive in the fifth after Carlos Beltran misplayed a liner by Paulo Orlando into a double and Alcides Escobar singled. Pineda bore down and struck out Moustakas on a slider (no changeup this time) and Lorenzo Cain on an even nastier one.
An errant throw by shortstop Didi Gregorius led to an unearned run off Dellin Betances in the eighth (his stretch of unearned runs this season has reached 26 innings over 23 games), and Andrew Miller handled the ninth for his 14th save.
But as Girardi pointed out, it starts with the starter, and Pineda was every bit the good one.
Select the Yankees' "Mount Rushmore" players
Got an idea which four players in Yankees history should qualify as the "Mount Rushmore" of the franchise? You will have the opportunity to express your opinion in Major League Baseball's "Franchise Four" campaign that begins today.
Fans may visit MLB.com/FranchiseFour to select the four most impactful players who best represent the history of each franchise
out of eight choices from its lineage. An additional write-in option will be available to fans on the ballot, which can also be accessed on their mobile devices. The balloting runs through Friday, May 8.
categories in the sport's history. The winners of the month-long period of fan voting on MLB.com/FranchiseFour will be announced during pregame ceremonies at the 86th All-Star
Game Tuesday, July 14, at Great American Ball Park in Cincinnati.
The eight players on the ballot were selected based on the recommendations of a blue-ribbon panel in consultation with the 30 clubs. The panel was asked to identify "the most impactful
players who best represent the history of each franchise [or special category"] for the ballot. Panelists were MLB's official historian John Thorn and representatives from MLB's official
statistician, the Elias Sports Bureau; MLB.com; MLB Network; and the Baseball Writers' Association of America (BBWAA). In addition to the 30 franchises, fans may vote for three special categories: the "Greatest Living Players"; the greatest Negro Leagues Players; and the sport's greatest Pioneers, encompassing players whose careers began more than a century ago.
"The All-Star Game is a celebration of the National Pastime, and Cincinnati's rich baseball heritage makes it a perfect venue to highlight the great players who are synonymous with our clubs and those who played pivotal roles in the game's history," MLB chief operating officer Tony Petitti said. "We believe that the 'Franchise Four' campaign will engage fans in a fun and meaningful way and will link the past and the present in the manner that Baseball does so uniquely."
Full disclosure: I was on the BBWAA voting committee and submitted my eight choices for the Yankees. They were precisely the eight players who made the ballot — alphabetically Yogi Berra, Joe DiMaggio, Whitey Ford, Lou Gehrig, Derek Jeter, Mickey Mantle, Mariano Rivera and Babe Ruth. If I were voting for a ninth player, I would go with Bill Dickey by a slight margin over Don Mattingly.
The Yankees' franchise is so rich with success that narrowing the field down to eight was a chore. I felt bad about having to leave off Dickey or Mattingly, not to mention such worthy choices as Red Ruffing, Lefty Gomez, Dave Winfield, Thurman Munson, Ron Guidry, Bernie Williams, Jorge Posada and Andy Pettitte. As for stars like Reggie Jackson and Rickey Henderson, their time with the Yankees was not long enough to qualify, in my view. But your view may be different, so give your opinion by logging on to MLB.com/Franchise Four.

Commissioner honors Jeter with prestigious award
The accolades keep coming Derek Jeter's way in his final week of regular-season play. Despite all these goodbyes, there is the possibility however remote that the Yankees could get to play in October since they have not yet been mathematically eliminated from the post-season.
Commissioner Bud Selig, himself at the end of his career, made his farewell-tour stop at Yankee Stadium Tuesday and presented Jeter with the Commissioner's Historic Achievement Award, an honor created in 1998 to take note of special accomplishments in the game. Mariano Rivera received the award last year in his last season. Earlier this month, legendary Dodgers broadcaster Vin Scully also received the award. Jeter is the 15th recipient of the award.
Speaking at a news conference before Tuesday night's Yankees-Orioles game, Selig said, "When I was kid, as I reminisced the other day, my favorite player was Joe DiMaggio. What Joe D meant to my generation, Derek has meant to his. I've been overjoyed to see Derek join the heroes of my youth — Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, Mickey Mantle and all the other greats. He is a great champion in every way."
"It means a lot for the commissioner to take the time and present me with this award," Jeter said. "I've always had the utmost respect for him throughout my career. As he said, our careers have paralleled. He is the only commissioner that I played under. We had a great relationship throughout the years. For him to take the time to present me with this award that hasn't been handed out too much, it is something that I will definitely cherish."
The commissioner also presented on behalf of Major League Baseball a check for $222,222.22 to Jeter's Turn2 Foundation, which brings the total of donations to the Captain's charity on his farewell tour across the majors to more than $575,000. MLB's donation equaled that of the Yankees' gift of $222,222.22, which they presented on Derek Jeter day at the Stadium Sept. 7.
Girardi dunked; Yanks donate $100G to ALS
The Ice Bucket Challenge that has helped bring awareness to the debilitating disease amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) reached the Yankees Wednesday as manager Joe Girardi took part and then offered challenges to the four newest members of Monument Park — Joe Torre, Goose Gossage, Tino Martinez and Paul O'Neill. Torre already participated earlier this month alongside commissioner-elect Rob Manfred.
In connection with Girardi's participation, the Yankees pledged $100,000 to the ALS Association (www.alsa.org). The donation is made in recognition of those who bravely live with ALS, those who have died from the condition and those around the world who have taken part in the Ice Bucket Challenge in an effort to raise awareness and funding to find a cure.
Girardi, whose uncle died of the disease in April, told reporters in Detroit after Yanks publicist Jason Zillo dumped over an ice bucket on him, "I think this is a really good thing. It started here, and it's bringing a lot of attention to ALS. It's a horrific disease, what it does to people. And it's not just older, it's young people that it happens to. Hopefully all these things people are doing to raise money help find a cure."
Video of Girardi's participation may be found at http://www.yankees.com, on the Yankees' official Twitter account (@yankees) and on the Yankees' official Facebook page (facebook.com/yankees).
"The Yankees organization has been inspired by the public's embrace of the Ice Bucket Challenge as a creative way to support ALS charities," Yankees chief operating officer Lonn Trost said. "We make this donation in the memory of everyone who has been touched by ALS and those who have tried to make a difference in finding a cure."
The Yankees have had a long-standing relationship with the ALS Association Greater New York Chapter (www.als-ny.org), providing financial contributions and other resources to the organization.
ALS is most closely associated with former Yankees first baseman and captain Lou Gehrig, who passed away from its effects June 2, 1941 at the age of 37. Former Yankees pitcher and fellow Hall of Famer Jim "Catfish" Hunter also died from ALS in 1999 at the age of 53.
Known as "The Iron Horse," Gehrig played in 2,130 consecutive games before taking himself out of the Yankees' lineup prior to the team's May 2, 1939 game at Detroit where the Yankees are now involved in a series against the Tigers. He never played in a major-league game again.
This year marks the 75th anniversary of Lou Gehrig Appreciation Day, which was held July 4, 1939, at Yankee Stadium between games of a doubleheader against the old Washington Senators. After receiving kind words from New York City Mayor Fiorello La Guardia, U.S. Postmaster General James A. Farley, Yankees manager Joe McCarthy and former teammate Babe Ruth, Gehrig stepped to the microphone to make his famous speech which began, "For the past two weeks, you've been reading about a bad break. Today, I consider myself the luckiest man on the face of the Earth."
Cashman: Retire captaincy with Jeter
Yankees general manager Brian Cashman believes that once Derek Jeter retires, the captaincy of the Yankees should retire as well.
Speaking to the Taylor Hooton Foundation's fifth annual "Give A Hoot" benefit in a luxury suite at Yankee Stadium Sunday, Cash was asked who should succeed Jeter as team captain after his retirement.
Cashman's response was "I'm not that big on captains myself. More than one player can lead by example. DJ has had this remarkable career, and I think when this great player retires the captaincy should go with him, but that's not my call."
Actually, the Yankees once went more than 35 years without a captain and during that time the team won 12 World Series titles. Lou Gehrig had been the Yankees' captain for 13 years when he was forced into retirement due to illness in 1939. Then manager Joe McCarthy proclaimed that the Yankees would never again have another captain.
The idea of another Yankees captain was not broached seriously until after George Steinbrenner purchased the club in 1973. Three years later, he recommended Thurman Munson for the role. Told in a meeting of what McCarthy had said 37 years earlier, the Boss said, "I am sure Mr. McCarthy would change his mind if he had met Mr. Munson."
The catcher served in the role until his death in Aug. 2, 1979. Jeter has been the Yankees' captain the past 11 years. The previous team captain was Don Mattingly, who retired after the 1995 season. Other former Yankees captains in the Steinbrenner years were Willie Randolph, Ron Guidry and Graig Nettles.
As Cashman pointed out, it is not his call. An owner or a manager or a group of players could well start a campaign for a captain at any time. I am with the GM on this one. You never say never, but I would not mind waiting another 37 years. Jeter's shoes are just as great to fill as were Gehrig's.
Yankees and Rangers swap zeroes
Go figure this game. Two pitchers take the mound with identical 5.10 ERAs. Each has struggled a ton lately. The Yankees' Chase Whitley was 1-3 with an 11.25 ERA in his previous five outings. The Rangers' Nick Martinez, who pitched college ball at Fordham, was winless in seven starts since his only victory of the season May 24.
So what happened? Both pitched shutout ball over six innings.
It was a very positive sign for Whitley, who got solid support from his defense. Five of the seven hits he allowed were at the start of innings, usually a bad omen.
In the second inning, Leonys Martin got to third with none out on an error by third baseman Zelous Wheeler and a wild pitch, but Whitley kept the ball in the infield with two groundouts bookending a strikeout to strand Martin.
In the third, Daniel Robertson led off with a single and stole second base. After Shin-Soo Choo was called out on strikes, Robertson tried to steal third and was gunned down by Francisco Cervelli. Whitley finished off the inning by striking out Elvis Andrus.
Adrian Beltre followed Jim Adduci's leadoff single in the fourth by grounding into a double play. In the fifth, Rangers catcher Robinson Chirinos, who doubled with one out, tried to score on an infield single by Robertson but was thrown out at the plate by Brian Roberts.
Whitley's night was done after he gave up another leadoff hit in the seventh, a single by Beltre, but Matt Thornton and Adam Warren made sure the All-Star third baseman did not advance.
The Yankees had it even worse against Martinez, who held them to three hits and one walk in 5 1/3 innings before Neftali Feliz, the former American League Rookie of the Year, followed with 1 2/3 hitless innings of relief. The Yanks did not get a runner past first base over the first seven innings.
Martinez, too, had helped from his defense. Martin in center field climbed the auxiliary scoreboard in right-center to rob Brian McCann of a potential extra-base hit in the second inning. The ball did not appear to be over the wall when Martin gloved it.
The zeroes kept piling up after the starters were gone. The Yanks did not get a runner into scoring position until one out in the ninth when Derek Jeter doubled into the left field corner. It was career double 535 for DJ, who replaced Hall of Famer Lou Gehrig as the franchise's all-time leader in two-base hits.
Rangers manager Ron Washington decided to have lefthander Neal Cotts walk lefty-swinging Jacoby Ellsbury intentionally and go after Carlos Beltran, a switch hitter who would bat right-handed against Cotts. The curious strategy worked as Beltran grounded into a double play that sent the game into extra innings.
Yanks fall below .500, latest in season since '07
South of .500 went the Yankees Wednesday on what should have been a feel-good day with a special ceremony commemorating Lou Gehrig's famous farewell speech of 75 years ago. A moving video before the game featured Derek Jeter and baseball's 30 current first baseman reading the entire text of the Iron Horse's impromptu address in which he essentially bid farewell to the sport because of his illness, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) that now bears his name.
The 6-3 loss to the Rays before a crowd of 42,343 at Yankee Stadium was a dismal end to a very disappointing homestand as well as a 15-game stretch against American League East foes in which they could have made some real headway.
"It started off good and ended badly," Girardi said of the stretch in which the Yankees swept a three-game set from the Blue Jays and proceeded to lose nine of the next 12 games, including the past five in a row, their longest losing steak of the season. "We lost every series after sweeping Toronto and had chances to win a number of games."
You probably keep reading media accounts of how the Yankees are in the market to improve their pitching. Well, during the past homestand, pitching was the least of their problems. The Yanks' staff pitched to a 3.16 ERA in the six games. That is good enough to win a lot more than one game usually.
A greater problem for the Yankees is their offense. They averaged 3.17 runs per game in the homestand while hitting .222 as a team and slugging .362, appalling numbers. They batted .146 in 41 at-bats with runners in scoring position.
The Yankees were without two of their most productive hitters, Mark Teixeira and Jacoby Ellsbury, in Wednesday's game due to minor ailments. Tex had fluid drained from his right knee while Ellsbury, in manager Joe Girardi's words, was "banged up."
Yet a lineup in which the 3-through-6 hitters were all batting under .230 managed to get 10 hits, including home runs by Brett Gardner and Brian McCann, but were 1-for-9 with runners in scoring position.
"We swung the bat better, but in a couple of rallies we couldn't get the big hit," Girardi said. "We're being outscored and out-hit at home."
The Yankees' record at the Stadium is 18-23. Overall, it is 41-42, the first time they have been under .500 since April 11 when they were 5-6 after the 11th game of the season. It is the latest point in a season that the Yankees have been under .500 since 2007 when they were 42-43 July 7. The Yankees went on to a 94-68 record that season and qualified for the playoffs as a wild-card entry, so there is still hope.
"I don't see confidence as a problem," Girardi said. "I still believe in this team because there is talent in that room. We need to play better."

Jhonatan Romero-Kiko Martinez Set For HBO Triple, 8/17
By Jake Donovan
Jhonatan Romero was hoping for a notable name in the opposite corner for his first defense of the 122 lb. title. The unbeaten champ gets his wish, as he will face Spain's Kiko Martinez on August 17 in Atlantic City.
The bout will serve as part of a televised tripleheader on HBO, with middleweight titlist Daniel Geale defending against British contender Darren Barker in the evening's main event.
Romero makes his first ring appearance since winning the vacant belt earlier this year in a well deserved split decision over Alejandro Lopez.
Talks were in place for his first defense to come against former bantamweight titlist Joseph Agbeko, who made a triumphant ring return earlier this year following a forced 15-month break. The two camps were close to finalizing but negotiations ultimately hit a wall.
In came Martinez (28-4, 20 KO), a perennial bridesmaid at the top level of the 122 lb. division. The Spaniard is best known for his shocking 1st round knockout of Bernard Dunne back in 2007, as well as his all-action style. He is coming off of a knockout win over David Marchiano, which in turn came on the heels of a heartbreaking 9th round knockout loss to unbeaten contender Carl Frampton late last year.
The upcoming title defense marks Romero's debut on cable giant HBO.

The video was taken and approved by our office. At that time the charges (300/month) started. Unfortunately our business never appeared on their website, and could not be searched. The video also never appeared anywhere. After a month or 2 of runaround, I was able to get my account rep, Kong Nu, on the phone. He apologized profusely and told us we would get premium web services and an optimization specialist would call our office. None of this ever occurred.
To date, and after spending more than $1500.00, we still remained unsearchable on their website.
The only way our business name ever showed up was by typing the name of the business and the zip code for the business. That's what every free search engine does. City Grid provided no enhanced anything.
They do however insist that you pay them for services they do not render.
Do not use this company. They have provided us with nothing, and I am sure will do the same for you.

The Workaround: 32 Steps to Frustration
By PETER MEYERS
Published: April 25, 2002
THAT software does not always work correctly is roughly as surprising as finding a cockroach in a New York apartment. But at least apartment dwellers can resort to exterminators. Computer users, by contrast, are often faced with software companies that don't even try to fix what is wrong. Instead, they issue what are known as workarounds, jury-rigged measures that call for users to ''work around'' the problem.
In effect, ''they say, 'It's not a bug, it's a feature,' '' said Jakob Nielsen, a consultant on Web use who lives in Fremont, Calif. If a program works oddly, he said, the companies ''just write in the manual'' rather than fix the product.
Microsoft, for example, acknowledges a quirk in certain versions of Outlook Express that mangle some e-mail messages that start with the word ''begin.'' (''Begin'' followed by two spaces is identical to a command that e-mail programs search for when they receive certain kinds of messages.) A proposed workaround posted on Microsoft's Web site advises people to use ''a different word such as 'start' or 'commence.' ''
''It makes no sense from any normal human perspective,'' Dr. Nielsen said.
Worse than not fixing the problem, he said, is the way that such solutions compound the fear that computers are ''so complicated that you're not going to understand how they really work.''
''So you're just going to go through this kind of magical incantation,'' he continued. ''You know: Step 1 is press 5 and Enter, and Step 2 is to click on this button, and Step 3 is sacrifice a goat at midnight.''
A review of some popular software developers' posted workarounds has not turned up any calls for animal sacrifice. So far.
Well, This Might Work
Intuit, maker of the Quicken financial software, has devised what appears to be a fairly simple six-step workaround for moving account information between two versions of its software that are not quite compatible. Fairly simple, that is, until you see that four of these steps contain substeps, each of which contains sub-substeps for a grand total of 32 things to do. Enough fiddling is called for to suggest that one wrong move could derail the whole process:
Delete the first seven lines of the export file, including the seventh line, a caret character. There must be no carriage return above the text. Also remove the file's last two lines, which are a caret and a carriage return. There must be no carriage returns at the bottom of the QIF file.
Check the account register to see that all transactions have been imported and that the balance is correct. Make corrections as needed.
That last bit of advice is roughly the equivalent of asking someone to proofread the phone book. Furthermore, Intuit does not seem entirely convinced that the conversion will work. The user is counseled before starting that ''the following is a provisional workaround procedure that has had some limited success'' and is urged to ''follow the steps of this procedure exactly for the highest possible chance of success.''
Click, Do Not Click
Symantec, the utility-software maker, acknowledges a ''situation'' that presents itself when users install its Norton AntiVirus software on computers that use the Windows NT operating system. The workaround begins hesitantly: ''There are two ways to work around this problem, and one solution that has worked in some cases.''
The workaround itself requires using another computer. The procedure bears an eerie resemblance to the human-cloning, organ-harvesting dystopias that so dismay the opponents of biotechnology. Users are told to make a partial installation of the Norton program on a second machine, extract three files, copy them to a floppy and then install them on the original machine. The 15-step procedure occasionally includes commentary on why certain steps are being taken, as in Step 3:
Open the Navntws folder on your desktop. Find and delete the _insdel.exe file. NOTE: This file needs to be removed so that the installation files are not deleted the moment the install is interrupted.
More often the user is left without such guidance, as in the next step:
In the Navntws folder, double-click the Setup.exe file. A progress bar will appear, followed by the message, ''Fatal error: You must have Win NT installed to install this application. Click O.K.'' Do not click O.K. at this time.
Just Turn It Off
Some problems test the inner strength of the average user. On its Web site, the PC maker Gateway acknowledges that ''in Spider Solitaire, each time that the cards are dealt, some or all of the cards may be dealt slowly.''
A suggested workaround calls for disabling the animation feature, which was meant to be visually pleasing. As for fixing the problem, Gateway reports tersely at its site that it ''is not pursuing this issue.''
Blaming the Movie
Gateway has also detected a ''Navigation Packet Error with DVD Movie on a Portable Computer.'' The problem is, ''While trying to play the DVD movie, you may receive the following message: 'Error reading navigation packet.' The only option is to click O.K., at which point the movie exits and does not play.''

A peaceful night in the river
... good service, very nice man, looks like a nice marina in case anyone is in the area! Troy Federal Lock was the only one without hanging ropes, we had to loop our lines around a pipe instead. After the last lock we hit tidal waters.... time to pay attention and plan our runs accordingly from now on. It was interesting to pass through the bigger cities of Troy and Albany, and for me it was fun to see Albany from a completely different point of view! After Albany's shipping yards ...
Mechanicville stop
... fantastic new showers and is out of the town noise. There is 1 hr free wifi. The grocery store is a short walk, and so is the public library with free internet and air conditioning in this 100F heat. Sadly this is another town with a lot of empty store fronts and a sense of great loss from what it used to be. There are very impressive huge churches, rambling old mansions and more industry- you can tell that ...
Back Roads to Albany
... It is a quaint little town with refurbished buildings and beautiful flowers in urns and borders. We stopped for a few minutes to stretch and I walked through several of the shops. I was surprised at the number of ladies, mainly ladies, shopping the area. We continued through the hills of the Vermont countryside to Albany. It was a good ...

I have an extra leg on the journey: I have to get myself from Albany, NY to back home in Genesee County. This is basic geography working against me. I've packed up all the shorts and tanks I own, and it's time to take my little car across New York ...

Play of Freedom Session One
Some time ago Florian and I made 5 recordings which include some of the clearest sharing and most deeply touching moments of my talking with any guest. This is the first one of those recodings.
Each session is a logical extension of the previously laid foundation and quite different in its focus and impact. All together they tie into a logical construct that successfully transports a level of knowing that transforms how we look at and how we feel about life. You can definitely feel the "Play of Freedom".
Mora Fields writes about Multiple Points of View
We talked about Mora's new book "Peculiar Stories", where she gracfully suggests to a youngster that what you see is perhaps not always best served by conventional interpretations. In the end it is each one of us that gets to take seriously some interpretation, (or not).
While we are checking that out, we might also see what the effect of each of those interpretations are on our own lives.
Daniel Hirtz is Electric
Wouldn't it be obvious if I am able to SEE something about life, that I would be moved to LIVE IT? To express what I see?
Observing the world, maybe it doesn't seem that obvious? Daniel is an activist. He wants to stire up collective courage to live our dreams. Can we do that better if we hold hands? Why not? Here is my hand, I want to be in on it.
Kira Kay, the Tendency to Conceptualize
Can it be that we are all born with a handicap? Our abstract human focus gives much attention to ruminations of what could be or what was. Is there any truth to those things that we think about? Do they just generate an apparent experience, that then we take as a proof of their relevance?
Canela Michelle Meyers Book Launch
"Right Here Right Now Meditations"
I started building a metaphor that I wanted to develop into the idea that for the most part we lead "virtual lives". Canela got the point exactly before I even got it out, "why don't we just take the elements of life that are showing up in every moment, and play the game with them?"
I seem to be very much in sync with Canela, or her with I. What comes out is exactly the points that I wish to capture. Great fun.
A Deep Connection with Rupert Spira
One of the most satisfying talks I can remember, I feel Rupert mislead no one. He was clearly sharing and also modeling the calm centeredness and connection that is the essence of his message.
Tess Hughes Shares with TAT
The last presentation was extemporaneous by Tess Hughes, visiting from Ireland. In five short years from finding out about TAT, she opened to a vast vision of humanity and herself.
Some discussion followed with no microphone protocol, so that will not appear in the TAT series.
Careful Consideration of Human Condition,Talking with Dr John Eaton
With vast clinical experience, John is still willing to weave finer and finer distinctions of the probable functioning of our societal and personal ills and wellbeing.

I'm new to WordPress and I'm trying to figure out how to put an iTunes feed on a page. More specifically, I would like to display an iTunes feed on a page and customize the look to be something like feedburner does it like this - complete with the album or song image and the preview.
I have made a page located here using the RSSINPage Plugin - not the best plugin since it is no longer supported. I've tried several others but can't seem to find a good option.
Using a plugin is optional but if I use a plugin it must be one that is supported (Titus didn't respond and deleted my request).
Should I do this without a plugin? How does WordPress layout a feed on a page? Is it a template?
I know this is a lot but please help.

SANTA CRUZ - With thousands of foreclosures having exacted a severe toll on local families, the county Board of Supervisors on Tuesday tore into state lawmakers for not doing enough to protect homeowners.
The comments were born out of frustration following a county report detailing the local foreclosure crisis but making clear the county board is largely powerless to do anything about it: regulation of the housing market and the foreclosure process rests with federal and state authorities.
"This speaks of why people have low faith in government," Chairman John Leopold said, accusing the banking industry of lobbying lawmakers into inaction. "They don't understand why one industry has so much power over the rest of us."
The board unanimously approved a resolution calling on banks and local contractors to suspend foreclosure activities, though the resolution is largely symbolic.
It also took steps toward two new local laws that could impact county homeowners facing the loss of their home. One would implement a mediation process between banks and homeowners, starting in 2013. Leopold said he reached out to the mayor of Providence, R.I., which has a similar law.
Another would require the local verification of foreclosure documents, which banks have been accused of improperly handling.
Those steps were small comforts to a group of locals who visited the board to urge action. One woman demanded court injunctions against foreclosures, calling them "scenes of the crimes" and saying evidence needed to be collected against "perpetrators of financial violence."
Michael Boyd, a local activist who said he saved his home from being auctioned off, urged the board "think outside the lock box" in working to stem the tide of foreclosures. He also suggested what he was felt a better venue for foreclosure auctions than the step of the county building.
"It's a disgrace that you have it right here," Boyd said during the meeting. "Put it at the dump!"
Some state and federal lawmakers have tried to assist homeowners, but have been stymied. Rep. Anna Eshoo, D-Palo Alto, for example, has been outspoken in trying to get Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to reduce mortgage balances. Eshoo directed harsh criticism at Edward DeMarco, acting director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency which oversees both agencies.
Supervisor Ellen Pirie said everyone was frustrated by the foreclosure problem. But she, too, has unusually harsh words for state lawmakers.
"They know as well as we know that the system is broken," Pirie said, questioning why they didn't share the board's outrage. "The fact that they're not (angry) is puzzling to me and shocking to me."
In other business, the board said it would explore restarting a program that would lower property taxes for as many as 200 county seniors. The board is expected to air the proposal again in June.

Reversing the president's decision to delay the purchase of one Virginia-class submarine was the top priority this year for submarine advocates in Congress, U.S. Rep. Joe Courtney said Wednesday.
With both the Senate and House of Representatives agreeing to fund the submarine in the National Defense Authorization Act, Courtney, D-2nd District, said it's "too early to do a victory dance in the end zone, but we're in the red zone."
The bill authorizes a 1.7 percent pay raise for military personnel and rejects the administration's request for new rounds of base closures in 2013 and 2015. The Naval Submarine Base in Groton was nearly closed during the 2005 round.
The conference committee will begin working out the differences between the Senate and House versions of the bill next week. Both contain $778 million in advance procurement funding so the Navy can purchase two Virginia-class submarines in 2014, which effectively locks the funding into the final authorization act.
The Senate passed the $631 billion defense bill, 98-0, Tuesday night; the House approved it in May.
Sen. Joe Lieberman, D-Conn., cautioned that the "Senate's work on defense is not completed with the passage of this bill." Congress has until the end of the year to prevent $1.2 trillion in automatic spending cuts — known as sequestration — from taking effect Jan. 2.
Lieberman said the cuts "will do significant damage to our national security if they are implemented," and he will work with his colleagues "to ensure we avert the fiscal cliff while sparing further cuts to America's defense."
Congress also gave the Navy the contracting authority for a five-year block, from 2014 to 2018, of up to 10 new submarines instead of capping the total at nine, and said the Navy could pay for the parts and services for the submarines over a set number of years instead of having to fund the ships fully upfront.
The coalition of legislators, primarily from Connecticut, Rhode Island and Virginia, lobbied for the incremental funding approach, which has been used with aircraft carriers but not with submarines.
But, Courtney said, the "2014 dip" was "the biggest step backward that we faced after years of progress."
The president's proposed budget had called for building one Virginia-class submarine in 2014 instead of two, and two subs in 2018 instead of one to save money now.
The work on the second submarine in 2014 translates to about 2 million man hours annually for five years at Electric Boat and Newport News Shipbuilding in Virginia — enough work to keep 800 to 1,000 people busy.
Bob Ross, executive director of the state's Office of Military Affairs, said it would have been counterintuitive to make cuts to the program at a time when submarines are going to play a more prominent role in national security strategy.
The Virginia-class program should receive $4.9 billion, including $3.2 billion to build two submarines in 2013 and $1.7 billion to purchase parts with long lead times for two submarines in 2014 and 2015.
Sen. Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn., said the defense bill means "more jobs and economic growth for our state as it supports weapons and defense products made in Connecticut by Connecticut workers."
On Wednesday, the House adopted the Senate's version of the Coast Guard Authorization Act and made changes to the policy bill. The bill now returns to the Senate.
There was an attempt in November 2011 to amend the bill to change the admissions process at the Coast Guard Academy. The other military service academies admit students by congressional nomination, while the Coast Guard Academy traditionally has admitted students on the basis of academic merit.
The amendment failed, and the current bill does not include the proposal.

South Alabama dominates Colonels
Published: Wednesday, April 22, 2009 at 10:00 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, April 22, 2009 at 10:59 a.m.
THIBODAUX South Alabama ran away with it.
The Jaguars stole seven bases in their 11-2 non-conference victory over the Nicholls State Colonels on Tuesday night at Ray E. Didier field.
South Alabama scored early and often as it moved runners into scoring position and drove them in easily with 18 hits in the game.
Weve got some guys that when they get on, they can run, South Alabama coach Steve Kittrell said. It was just our night. We were fortunate. We got off to a good start. Balls we hit got through the infield and were hit in the right spot.
Jaguars starting pitcher Ryan Bohanan (2-for-4, four RBIs) helped his own cause when he hit a three-run home run over the left field wall in the top of the first inning to give the Jaguars an early 3-0 lead.
Nicholls struck back with two runs in the bottom of the second inning.
With runners on first and second, designated hitter Adam Miley bunted to the left side of the infield. Bohanans off-balance throw sailed over Jaguar first baseman Brad Hook which allowed Scott Moseley (2-for-4) to score and cut the lead to 3-1.
The Colonels then put on the squeeze play with Zach Tisdale on third and Miley on second. Catcher Jason Dennis sacrifice bunt scored Tisdale and made it 3-2.
Nicholls (17-22 overall) would not score another run, getting just four hits in the game.
We didnt play like Division I baseball players, Nicholls coach Chip Durham said. Were in a rut right now and were not swinging the bats very well. We need to do something to give us some momentum and some confidence when we go up to the plate.
South Alabama (19-20) added another run in the third before opening its lead with a four-run fourth inning.
With the bases loaded and no outs, consecutive singles by Adam Heisler (4-for-6, three runs) and David Doss (3-for-4) allowed Chris Davis and Clint Reynolds to score giving the Jaguars a 6-2 lead.
Zach Grichor then scored on fielders choice and Heisler would also score on a double to left field by Hook. South Alabama led 8-2 after four innings.
Colonel starting pitcher Jake Parrish, who was credited with the loss, was replaced in the fourth by reliever Brad Delatte. Parrish (1-4) pitched three innings giving up eight runs (five earned) on nine hits while walking three and striking out two. Nicholls used six pitchers total in the game.
The Jaguars added one run in the sixth and two runs in the seventh on three consecutive singles off Colonel reliever Ryan Harding.
Bohanan (1-1) was the winning pitcher, giving up two runs (none earned) on one hit in three innings. Jaguar reliever Michael Raia came on the fourth, giving up only one hit in four innings.

Answers to your questions about gardening, energy, homesteading and other sustainable living topics.
By Barbara Pleasant
Tomato diseases, Grafted tomatoes, Hybrid tomatoes, Fusarium fungi, Verticillium wilt, Root-knot nematodes, VFFN, Grafted seedlings, Soilborne diseases, Disease resistant rootstock, Early blight, Late blight
My hybrid tomatoes usually grow well enough, but every time I try to grow an heirloom variety, the plants turn yellow and die. My neighbor says they fail because of diseases in the soil. What can I do to prevent these problems? I would love to be able to grow 'Brandywine' at least once!
Marie ColellaAtlanta, Georgia
Tomatoes that grow well for a while and then show noticeable yellow color as they wilt are usually infected with one or more strains of fusarium fungi, a common and persistent problem in soils in warm climates. Other soilborne pathogens, such as verticillium wilt or root knot nematodes, may also be involved.
Whatever the specific problems, your hybrid tomatoes probably grow well because they provide genetic resistance, while most heirloom varieties are susceptible. There are two solutions: Grow heirlooms in containers filled with bagged potting soil, or graft tomatoes to combine the flavor of heirloom varieties with the disease-resistance of hybrids.
Containers are an easy solution if you are working with purchased seedlings, but if you start your own seeds, you may be surprised at how simple it is to graft tomato seedlings when they are about 6 inches tall. With a successful tomato graft, you get the disease resistance and vigor of a hybrid root system, but with fruit characteristics of great-tasting heirlooms. Even first-timers can expect at least half of their first tomato grafts to succeed. With practice, you will seldom lose a plant.
Your rootstock can be any hybrid that provides good resistance to the disease problems at hand. In your case, I would choose a variety with VFFN after the variety name for rootstock. This means the variety is resistant to verticillium, two races of fusarium, and rootknot nematodes. Exemplary varieties include 'Bella Rosa' VFFNA, 'First Prize' VFFNT, and 'Goliath' VFFNT.
To prepare to graft tomatoes, start seeds of your chosen rootstock and heirloom varieties on the same day, and give the seedlings plenty of light and excellent care for about three weeks. Meanwhile, study various grafting techniques, which are surprisingly simple to do. Online, be sure to review North Carolina State University's overview of tomato grafting, and watch the video on grafting greenhouse tomatoes that was produced by the University of Vermont.
You don't need to invest in special equipment to graft tomatoes for a home garden. Child-size, spring-type hair clips do a good job of holding cleft grafts together, and top grafts can be stabilized with a short piece of drinking straw slit down the side. The critical details are to graft tomato plants of exactly the same age and size, and to shield them from light for up to five days after the grafting operation is done. After the grafted tomato plants are hardened off and show vigorous new growth, it is important to set them high, so that the graft union is above the soil line.
Heirloom varieties of tomato grafted onto disease-resistant rootstocks will resist soilborne diseases, but they will still be at risk for early blight, late blight, and other foliar diseases that travel in wind and rain. Still, tomato grafting makes heirloom tomatoes as easy to grow as hybrids in gardens where common soil diseases are permanent residents.

John Wernecke: hung up on me. I called the number back and she answered with Why are you calling back? I told her that I would like to speak with her boss and she told me that there was no one. I asked if she owned the company and her response was YES, yes I do and I enjoy taking your f***ing money. She then hung up again. My wife called the number back and talked with several different people who all gave different answers to the problem. The first people stated that the charge was not refundable. Then she was told that it was but that they were not going to. She was told by one person that they were members of the Better Business Bureau, and again that was contradicted by another CSR. This charge is fraudulent. I did authorize $1.95 on 8/25/09 for Shipping and Handling. That charge is also fraudulent as I did not receive the package that I was paying S&H on.

I finally listed my timeshares with them after they cut the listing price in half!
I tried to contact my sales rep but was forwarded to someone else as my sales rep had left due to maternity leave. Each time I talked with the sales rep I was told what properties were selling for in my area and directed to the web site. However, I have never received one inquiry about my timeshares. However, I have never once received an inquiry about any of the timeshare units.
Over the subsequent year and a half I have contacted Vacation Marketing Properties sales department to find out what is going on with the listing. Each time I get a new person and I have to go through an explanation of why I am calling. It is like they do not keep track of each client contact. I have changed the selling price of my units numerous times to make them more attractive but when I ask the current sales rep what is going on they hem and haw saying that they have had internal inquiries and that they are showcasing the units at a new venue "that weekend."
I feel that I have been ripped off and that they should loose their certification/license to do business.
My advice is do not use this company to sell your timeshare.
