Mouse House finally lands Henson characters
This article was updated at 9:57 p.m.
Kermit and his Muppets pals are finally heading to the Magic Kingdom.
On Tuesday, a day after rejecting Comcast's offer to acquire Disney, the Mouse House announced a long-sought deal to acquire the Jim Henson puppet characters and the lesser-known "Bear in the Big Blue House" property.
Discussed for more than a decade in one form or another, the deal's coming together appears mostly coincidental to Mouse's current corporate dilemma.
Still, the announcement is serendipitously timed for head Mouseketeer Michael Eisner, who can point to the deal as evidence of his ability to lead Disney down new and profitable paths.
Agreement also reps a coup for the children of the late Jim Henson, securing a high-profile future for the best-known of their father's character creations while keeping an array of film entertainment assets for projects of their own making.
"It's great for Disney, but it's also a win for the family," said one industryite with a history of dealings with the Henson company. "They basically have parked their father's legacy in perpetuity at the place where it belongs, and they can kind of have their own lives as well."
Hensons in action
Brian Henson and Lisa Henson, son and daughter of the company founder, have an array of film and TV projects in active development at the company, which is expected to focus more on entertainment for older demos than it has in the past.
Hollywood-based Jim Henson Co. also will continue to operate its Creature Shops in L.A. and London and will maintain and exploit rights to its other film and TV franchises such as "Fraggle Rock," "Farscape" and "The Hoobs."
Financial terms of the agreement with Disney weren't released.
Disney will likely have to pay only part of the purchase price upfront — believed to be well under $100 million — and compensate the Hensons additionally by extending profit participation in the exploitation of the Muppets and other characters over the next several years.
Further limiting Disney's out-of-pocket expense is the fact the deal involves only properties with a natural fit for its family-oriented theme parks and cable webs.
"They bought the assets that they care about, without the liabilities," said one financial community observer.
Entertainment attorney Skip Brittenham helped fashion the agreement for the Henson family. Deal is expected to close within two months.
Agreement was announced after the close of market trading. But if Mouse shares rise on the news this morning, Team Eisner could find its defenses against the Comcast assault bolstered appreciably.
That's because Comcast's bid was entirely stock-based, so any escalation of Disney shares or decline of Comcast stock makes it harder for Comcast to argue the appeal of its offer.
Movement in the companies' stock since the Comcast bid was announced already had most analysts predicting the cable company would have to sweeten its offer for Disney.
Previous deals
The Henson family paid $78 million cash in July to buy back their father's company from the German media group EM.TV, which had acquired Henson three years earlier. Henson's Sesame Street characters were sold off in 2001 to Sesame Workshop for $180 million.
In buying the Muppets, Disney is acquiring assets, and the film and TV library associated with characters such as Kermit, Miss Piggy, Fozzie Bear and Animal. Similarly, the Mouse is acquiring all assets related to live-action kids skein "Bear in the Big Blue House."
"Since I worked with Jim Henson on the first Muppets TV special in the 1960s, it was obvious to me that his characters would make a deep imprint on the hearts of families worldwide, and this announcement is the culmination of a longtime desire to welcome them into the Walt Disney Co.," Eisner said in a statement.
"Kermit and Miss Piggy are well known and beloved around the world, and will have an opportunity to be seen and loved by millions more well into the future through Disney's distribution channels at home and abroad, including homevideo, family television programming and consumer products, in addition to the existing theme park presence at Walt Disney World and Disneyland," Eisner continued.
"We are honored that the Henson family has agreed to pass on to us the stewardship of these cherished assets."
Safe harbor
Henson co-chairman Lisa Henson called the agreement with Disney a culmination of her father's vision for the Muppets franchise.
"The deal ensures that the Muppet characters will live, flourish and continue to delight audiences everywhere, forever," she said.
"This new and very important relationship will enable our two companies to combine our respective talents and resources in ways that will fully realize the tremendous potential of the Muppet and Bear franchises," Brian Henson said in a statement. "Michael Eisner's long-standing passion and respect for the Muppets gives me and my family even more confidence in Disney as a partner."
While Henson co-chairman's reference to Eisner will no doubt be appreciated by the embattled Disney topper, terms of the company's agreement with Disney would have to be honored by any future regime in the event of a Mouse takeover.
Long time coming
The Henson family said at the time of its buy-back from EM.TV that efforts already were under way to establish long-term rights exploitation deals with one or more studios. The deal with Disney — which accomplishes that aim in the most dramatic fashion — completes a negotiating dance with the Mouse first started by the late Jim Henson.
Just before Henson died in 1990, Disney was poised to buy the Henson company and fold it into the House of Mouse.
Though that deal was never concluded, Disney — along with Viacom, Time Warner and others — again figured in talks to acquire the company just before EM.TV stepped in to buy Henson for $680 million in February 2000 and again during an auction leading up to the Henson family's repurchase.
"We think the Muppets are evergreen characters that have a broad family appeal," said Peter Murphy, Disney's chief strategic officer.
"We will look aggressively at developing new programming featuring both the Muppets in their classic presentation and perhaps in a new form that could include 3-D (computer-generated imaging). This could be in a TV movie, a TV series or a feature film."
Lisa Henson noted the Henson company has already done some CGI tests on the Muppets Babies characters. Disney is aware of the tests but hasn't yet seen the work, she said.
"There are a lot of cool possibilities, and bringing the Muppets into new technologies is one of the interesting new possibilities," Henson said.
Intriguing prospect of a new CGI franchise is another well-timed development for Eisner, who was criticized when Pixar broke off negotiations to extend its animation studio's co-production pact with the Mouse.
Past Muppet movies have used the puppet characters in mostly live-action settings. Recent theatrical titles have included "Muppets From Space" and "Elmo in Grouchland," both released to modest success in 1999.

In 1999, Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT ) was the company to which all others were compared... and then the stock spent the next decade trading sideways. Last fall, Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL ) won the title of "biggest company on Earth," soon lost it to ExxonMobil, and has since struggled. As Apple faces declining earnings growth and a reduced rate of innovation, some are wondering if the company has a lost decade ahead. At the same time, sleeping giant Microsoft is showing signs of life.

Baz Luhrmann's lavish 3-D remake of "The Great Gatsby" opens to the public this Friday, but Tiffany & Co., which created jewelry for the movie, hosted a private cocktail party and pre-screening of the film at Sundance Cinemas in downtown Houston for a handful of lucky VIPs.
A signature Tiffany-blue step and repeat and flapper girls greeted arrivals at valet. Inside models, guarded closely by security, sported iconic pieces from the jeweler's new Great Gatsby Collection (including Daisy's hand-piece) as well as pieces from the American Glamour Collection, which pays homage to the design significance of the Art Deco movement of the 1920s.
The band Jazz Revisited, recommended by Susie Criner, was set up in the corner of the curtained off Sundance lobby, plucking and strumming as guests chit-chatted around space. Besides the steady flow of Moet & Chandon bubbly, the bar shook up an era-appropriate and aptly named cocktail called the "Gin Fitz," made with Bombay Sapphire, orange bitters and Lillet. Meanwhile Jackson and Company catered passed nibbles, including miniature crab cakes with creole remoulade; salmon "bark"; truffled macaroni and cheese in black pepper pastry cups; open-faced roast beef; and "beggars' purses," or French crepes filled with caviar and sour cream, tied into bite-size bundles with leeks.
As the well-heeled guests entered the theater, popcorn was proffered in Tiffany-designed boxes, and after the movie they received a version of "The Great Gatsby" book designed by Vintage Classics for Tiffany & Co., blue-boxed and bowed, as a parting gift.
Among the moviegoers: Mike McClure, group director for Tiffany & Co., with wife Ericka and their daughter Jaylon with her friend Alyssa Cox; Scott and Karen Rozzell; Jenny Moore and Jeanie Sweet; Debra Grierson wearing a Chanel flapper frock; Houston Chronicle Best Dressed Hall of Famer and Tiffany & Co. fan Rosemary Schatzman; Cynthia and Tony Petrello; The Menil's Vance Muse; Nancy and Lucian Morrison; docs Glen and Diane Davis; Paula and daughter Jill Crawford; Patti and Mike Morgan; and George Lancaster.

Guide to the
Lake District
Of all the National Parks in England and Wales,
the Lake District is the one that stands out.
It's the largest by area and is home to England's highest mountain (Scafell Pike) and its deepest lake (Wastwater). It attracts around 40 per cent more visitors each year than any other National Park in the UK, earning more income from tourism than any other as a result.
Our comprehensive guide to the Lake District will show you exactly what's on offer.

We can't wait for you to discover the beauty of the Lakes.
Ullswater Buttermere Keswick Grasmere Bassenthwaite Lake Ennerdale Water Ambleside Derwentwater Esthwaite Water Wastwater Coniston Water Windermere
Ullswater is the second-largest lake in the Lake District, carved out of the valley floor by a glacier during the last ice age.
If you're looking for a tranquil spot in the heart of the Lake District National Park - somewhere which is tourist-friendly but perhaps not overrun with visitors - then Buttermere may just be the place for you.
From its origins as a 13th-century cheesemaking village, Keswick has evolved into one of the Lake District's most popular holiday destinations.
The lake of Grasmere and its adjacent village were much-loved by the Lake Poets - particularly William Wordsworth, who lived in the village for 14 years of his life and described it as "the loveliest spot that man hath ever found".
Bassenthwaite Lake
Bassenthwaite Lake is one of the largest in the Lake District and sits at the foot of Skiddaw, one of the highest peaks in the region.
Ennerdale Water
Ennerdale Water is most westerly of all the principal lakes in the Lake District, and is also the most remote. In actual fact, it's the only one which doesn't have a road running by the side of it - so for a rural spot to really get away from it all, there are few better places to be.
Located at the northern tip of Windermere, Britain's largest lake, the market town of Ambleside is a popular base for Lake District breaks.
Derwentwater lies to the immediate south of the town of Keswick, the three-mile-wide lake providing a stopping point for the River Derwent as it flows from the Scafell Pike to the Irish Sea at Workington.
Esthwaite Water
Esthwaite Water is one of the smaller and less-well-known lakes in the Lake District, overshadowed by its neighbours Coniston and Windermere.
Wastwater - sometimes referred to as Wast Water - is found in the remote valley of Wasdale, at the western edge of the Lake District National Park.
Coniston Water
Coniston Water is the third-largest of the Lakes, and has always been an important body of water in the region.

Margaret Corbin

|John Corbin
Margaret Cochran Corbin (November 12, 1751 – January 16, 1800) was a woman who fought in the American Revolutionary War.[1] On November 16, 1776, her husband, John Corbin was one of some 600 American soldiers defending Fort Washington in northern Manhattan from 4,000 attacking Hessian troops under British command. John Corbin was on the crew one of two cannons the defenders deployed; when he fell in action, Margaret Corbin took his place and continued to work the cannon until she too was seriously wounded. She later became the first woman in U.S. history to receive a pension from Congress for military service.
Early life[edit]
Margaret Cochran was born in Western Pennsylvania on November 12, 1751 in what is now Franklin County. Her parents were Robert Cochran, a Scots-Irish immigrant, and his wife, Sarah. In 1756, when Margaret was five years old, her parents were attacked by Native Americans. Her father was killed, and her mother was kidnapped, never to be seen again — Margaret and her brother, John, escaped the raid because they were not at home. Margaret lived with her uncle for the rest of her childhood.
In 1772, at the age of 21, Margaret married a Virginia farmer named John Corbin.
American Revolutionary War[edit]
When the war began, John enlisted in the First Company of Pennsylvania Artillery as a matross, an artilleryman who was one of the members of a cannon crew. As was common at the time for wives of soldiers, Margaret became a camp follower, accompanying John during his enlistment. She joined many other wives in cooking, washing, and caring for the wounded soldiers. She acquired the nickname "Molly Pitcher" (as did many other women who served in the war) by bringing water during fighting, both for thirsty soldiers and to cool overheated cannons.[2][3][4]
On November 16, 1776, Fort Washington, where John's company was part of the garrison left behind when General George Washington retreated with the Continental Army to White Plains, New York, was attacked by the British. John Corbin was in charge of firing a small cannon at the top of a ridge, today known as Fort Tryon Park. During an assault by the Hessians, John was killed, leaving his cannon unmanned. Margaret had been with her husband on the battlefield the entire time, and, after witnessing his death, she immediately took his place at the cannon, continuing to fire until her arm, chest, and jaw were hit by enemy fire. The British ultimately won the Battle of Fort Washington, resulting in the surrender of Margaret and her comrades and the taking of the last American position in New York City. As the equivalent of a wounded soldier, Margaret was released by the British on parole.
After the Battle of Fort Washington[edit]
After the battle, Margaret went to Philadelphia, completely disabled from her wound, and never fully healed. Life was difficult for her because of her injury, and in 1779 she received aid from the government. On June 29, the Executive Council of Pennsylvania granted her $30 to cover her present needs, and passed her case on to Congress's Board of War. On July 6, 1779, the Board, sympathetic to Margaret's injuries and impressed with her service and bravery, granted her half the monthly pay of a soldier in the Continental Army and a new set of clothes or its equivalent in cash. With this act, Congress made Margaret the first woman in the United States to receive a military pension from Congress.
After Congress's decision, Margaret was included on military rolls until the end of the war. She was enrolled in the Corps of Invalids, created by Congress for wounded soldiers. In 1781, the Corps of Invalids became part of the garrison at West Point, New York. She was discharged from the Continental Army in 1783.
Later years[edit]
Corbin received financial support from the government after the war, the first woman to do so.[5] She died in Highland Falls, New York, on January 16, 1800, at the age of 48.
A memorial commemorating her heroism was erected in 1909 near the scene of her service on the C. K. G. Billings Estate, in what would later become New York City's Fort Tryon Park.[6] In addition, after the park was constructed, "Margaret Corbin Circle" lies just outside the main entrance, and "Margaret Corbin Drive" connects the circle through the park to the Henry Hudson Parkway.[7] A plaque honoring Corbin, placed by the Chamber of Commerce of Washington Heights in 1982, is located on the eastern of the two stone plynths which mark the start of Margaret Corbin Drive.[8] A large Art Deco mural depicting the Battle of Fort Washington scene decorates the lobby of a nearby apartment building at 720 Fort Washington Avenue.
In 1926, The New York State Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) verified Margaret's records and recognized her heroism and service to the United States through the papers of General Henry Knox. Margaret's overgrown grave was located, and her body was exhumed. A West Point surgeon confirmed the skeleton was that of Margaret Corbin by comparison with a post-mortem which showed the left side of the face, chest and upper arm and left shoulder were badly damaged.[9] On April 14, 1926, her remains were re-interred with full military honors at the cemetery of the United States Military Academy at West Point behind the Old Cadet Chapel in the West Point Cemetery, making her one of only two Revolutionary War soldiers to be buried there.[9] The Margaret Corbin Monument was erected by the DAR at the gravesite.

Someone gets inside an elevator, expecting to be the only person there. Then suddenly, dozens of people cram themselves into the tiny car, which may or may not exceed the "maximum capacity" sign displayed on the elevator. [[TropeTelegraphing You know where this is going by now.]]
It doesn't even have to be suddenly crammed for this trope to apply. It could even involve the elevator slowly filling up with passengers until it reaches its breaking point, or [[TheLastStraw one extra passenger getting in a totally packed car]]. Either way, it's no good.
In the worst case scenario, it leads to ElevatorFailure. At best, it's just an UncomfortableElevatorMoment of a different sort.
[[folder: Anime and Manga ]]
* In one episode of ''Manga/DetectiveConan'', the elevator gets stuck when a group of characters get in. Later, Conan gets an EurekaMoment when he remembers that he is now a kid, and thus too light for the elevator to go over capacity. [[spoiler:There is a dead body on the roof of the elevator.]]
* Used dramatically in ''Manga/BigO'' as a reminder that Dorothy is a ~300 lb android, not a petite 90 lb girl.
* In the library arc of ''Manga/MahouSenseiNegima'', the girls and Negi are running from what they think is a killer golem and find an elevator, only to find that their combined weight is above the capacity limit. This being a fanservice-heavy series, the girls start stripping to reduce weight.
[[folder: Film ]]
* In ''Film/FantasticFour2005'', one of the indignities Ben Grimm experiences after his transformation is having to take the stairs because he's too heavy for the elevator.
[[folder: Live-Action TV ]]
* Near the end of an episode of ''Series/TheFreshPrinceOfBelAir'', Will is on an elevator when dozens more people get on. He looks at the maximum capacity sign, and then begins to scream.
* On ''Series/GimmeABreak'', Nell and several members of her overweight support group do this. The founder of the group was in his top-floor apartment contemplating suicide and the others wanted to stop him. The weight causes the elevator to get stuck, the people inside argue for a while, then try going down in the elevator, which works. Nell gets off at the lobby but the elevator then closes and goes back up, now no longer over capacity, forcing Nell to have to take the stairs.
* An episode of ''Series/NightCourt'' had the elevator fail with only four people on board: Dan, Roz, ... and two sumo wrestlers.
[[folder: Newspaper Comics ]]
* In ''ComicStrip/TheFarSide'', we see a man on an elevator with several elephants, and he watches in horror as one more tries to get in. The max. capacity is shown as several thousand pounds.
* This was deliberately done in one ''ComicStrip/SpyVsSpy'' comic, with White tricking Black into carrying several 1000-pound weights on an elevator (he thinks they are White's secret plans).

I would like to express my admiration and appreciation of your article on the exclusion of African-Americans, His-panics and other people of color from Hollywood. Our society is still in denial about the pervasiveness of institutional racism.
FRED JOHNSON, Medford, Mass.
Your story was totally unfounded and sensational. I am sure I will not see a PEOPLE headline that reads "NBA Whiteout." Would it be fair to say that the basketball industry is a "hotbed of black racism" and that whites are "shut out" from the NBA? Why isn't that a national disgrace?
JEREMY GUTWEIN, New Rochelle, N. Y.
Focus on writing about people and get off your liberal soapbox.
Round Rock, Texas
With the exception of Samuel L. Jackson, Morgan Freeman, Quincy Jones and several other industry people, no other major black stars were quoted. It is clear that change must come from the top. It is equally clear that those black stars with proven box-office appeal are in a position to make that change.
MICHELLE MILLS, New York City
So what? I am sick and tired of hearing blacks whine. We had to hear about how there are not enough black coaches, black writers, blacks in baseball front offices, blacks on TV. If they didn't win an Oscar or weren't nominated, maybe they didn't deserve it. Whatever happened to "May the best man win"?
MARY COLEMAN, Houston
There is obvious racism in our society in housing, everyday jobs, credit applications, etc. But in show business? From what I read about Hollywood producers, they would cast Attila the Hun in a lead role for $20 million if the movie had any chance of being a blockbuster.
EDWARD RADOSH, Ambler, Pa.
Although African-Americans make up 12 percent of the U.S. population, we comprise a quarter of the moviegoing audience. If Hollywood doesn't want to represent us, fine. It is time to turn our backs on Oscars and Hollywood—to produce and support our own films, companies and awards.
VONETTA BOOKER, Stamford, Conn.
You have the audacity to criticize others while your own history is not all that impressive. Aside from Whitney Houston and O.J. Simpson, what other blacks have you had on your cover in the past year? Have you ever had a Sexiest Man Alive who was not of European descent?
NAEMA NUR, Arlington, Va.
I read your well-written story, and all I can say is, "Malarkey!" Are you saying there should be affirmative action in Hollywood? A quota system? What? I know the Academy is far from being perfect, but I think they do a pretty equitable job of rewarding talent and ability.
JAMES D. MEEHAN, Dagsboro, Del.
Hollywood racist? Give me a break! In almost every movie made today, the chief of detectives, the chief of surgery, the military commander, the judge, the mayor, the senator, etc., is black. The obvious and well-meaning intent is to portray blacks in roles of authority. The unintended consequence creates an unfortunate misconception that blacks are far better off in America than they are. Witness the growing backlash against affirmative action and quota programs. The theater of white faces you pictured is evidence of nepotism, not racism.
HAROLD BLUM, Amelia Island, Fla.
Cary Grant never received a single Oscar nomination—and he was white.
TRAVIS SABADO, Los Angeles
In your story on African-Americans in Hollywood, you referred to a role I didn't get, in which I would have been playing opposite a white actress. That role, however, was not the one I am currently shooting, opposite Geena Davis, in The Long Kiss Goodnight.
SAMUEL L. JACKSON, Los Angeles
Your failure to mention Dianne Houston by name is just a continuation of the blackout in the entertainment industry. Not only is she a wondrous filmmaker, but she is the only black nominated for an Oscar this year for Best Live Action Short Film.
LOIS SARKISIAN, Los Angeles

JACKSON, MI – A Michigan Court of Appeals judge has said no to the owner of the Jackson Coffee Co. in his fight with the city over recouping stormwater legal fees.
Brian Surgener asked to be reimbursed $112,000 in legal fees associated with fighting the city of Jackson's stormwater lawsuit.
Instead, the judge ordered the city to pay Surgener, owner of the coffee company, $64,000. Surgener is also an attorney who represented his business along with Klein Brothers in the lawsuit.
"The city prevails again," Surgener said.
While the city lost the lawsuit, the judge did not order city officials to pay back residents and other parties that were charged the illegal tax— only plaintiffs in the suit.
He filed suit against the city in December 2011 after both businesses were charged more than $4,000 combined in a stormwater "fee" bill.
Jackson County also filed suit against the city December 2011 after it received a $32,000 stormwater bill.
The court ruled the fee was an illegal tax and ordered the city to stop charging it and to reimburse parties named in the lawsuit.
But, neither Surgener nor the county actually paid the bill and therefore have nothing to be reimbursed for besides legal fees.
The published opinion states the winning parties can request a "reasonable" reimbursement amount. That does not necessarily mean the amount the county actually paid in legal fees; it could be more.
Saline resident and Jackson property owner Phillip Panzica filed a class action lawsuit against the city earlier this month.
The court also ordered the city to pay Jackson County $120,418— the exact amount the county spent battling the legality of the "fee."

August 25, 2010, 08:03 PM
An aquaintance has a 2 year old Remington Model 710 in for sale cheap (less than $250 with scope). Is there a reason why it's cheap?

Is there a reason why it's cheap?
Yep, shoddy manufacturing practices (press fit barrels) and many nonferrous parts. Don't walk away - Run away.
August 25, 2010, 08:50 PM
cheap piece of crap....I actually had one for a while, bolt was rough, got rid of it quick...for the same money you can get a Stevens 200 that is ugly but is a tack driver...the 710 is a good indicator of where Remington is headed and its sucesssor, (cant remember its name) is also crap...my Stevens 200 in 7-08 is one of my favorite rifles and I got some nice ones in my safe...
August 25, 2010, 09:24 PM
Yea, the Remington 710 is one of those guns that you probably want to stay away from. They seem to work, and shoot decently, however as said above, once a part breaks or you wear a barrel out, you minus well throw it away. It's basically a throw away rifle. If you are a hunter that hunts once a year and shoots 2 or 3 shots in the year, it might last you a while. Otherwise, it probably won't. You can get a Savage Model 10 or Marlin XL-7 or a Stevens 200 for similar prices and all are much much better rifles. Best of all if you wear out a barrel or something, they are easy to change.
The 710's with a scope new were like $310 or $320 or something. I can't remember exactly, but it wasn't anymore than that and they came as package deals with a scope. Used I would not pay over $100 for one. The only way I'd buy one is if I got one in like new shape for under $100. Otherwise, if I'm going to pay $2-300 I'd get one of the other much better choices.
BTW these guns are also pretty hard to sell. There are a few for sale on a local site I'm a member of and they don't seem to ever sell. Some have been there for months upon months. So resale value is pretty low and they are even hard to sell then.

B A D aka stay away!
If you can, hold out for at least a Stevens 200 or Marlin X Series rifle. I promise, you'll be much happier and you'll sleep better also! hehehehe
August 25, 2010, 10:51 PM
Thanks everybody. Not surprised, haven't heard any good things about the 710 other than it's cheap.
August 25, 2010, 10:55 PM

Oct. 30: A 76-year-old male resident of Brittany Park reported that $100 in cash was missing from under a book on his nightstand. The loss occurred between Oct. 26 and Oct. 30.
Nov. 1: An 83-year-old female Brittany Park resident reported several jewelry items missing from her dresser drawer and from a locked cabinet. First she noticed the cabinet's key was missing from its dresser drawer location; she used a spare key to open the cabinet, found the missing jewels there, then found others missing in the drawer. Police found no clear fingerprints. Finding the thief might be difficult, since many staff members have access to all apartments at the complex, police said.

May 7, 2012
Albert Pujols finally hit his first home run as an Angel, 111 at bats into the season. It came in the home half of the fifth inning in a 4-0 Angels win over the Toronto Blue Jays, but No. 5's post-home run homecoming was unlike any other he's ever experienced in the Major Leagues.
There was no one there to congratulate him. No high-fives, no pats on the back, no words of support. Just an empty bench.
Chalk one up for Angels' right fielder Torii Hunter, who organized the impromptu prank after Pujols hit a blast over the left field bullpen. The players all headed for the tunnel as Pujols rounded the bases.
Hunter thought up the joke on a whim. "It was just spur of the moment," Hunter told reporters. "I'm happy that he got this lifted off of him. Now he can go out there and just swing and have fun."
Longtime Punditty Project readers know that we here at TPP have kept a close eye on Pujols since 2008, when TPP made its debut on Allvoices. In his 11 years in St. Louis, Pujols was a city icon, the face of a franchise for a team that has featured some of the most legendary players in the game's history, including Stan "The Man" Musial, Bob Gibson, Lou Brock and Ozzie "The Wizard" Smith.
TPP has had some fun at Pujols' expense since he left St. Louis, but in all seriousness, look for the nine-time National League All-Star to turn it up a notch now. He should be hitting a solid .270 by the All-Star Break, with at least a dozen home runs and 40 or so RBIs. By the end of the season, he should be close to the Champ Summers-type numbers the crystal ball projected for him in December of 2011: 24 HRs, 68 RBIs, and a .287 batting average.
And while Pujols is still below the Mendoza Line after Sunday's two-run blast, the Angels' victory, coupled with a loss by the division-leading Texas Rangers, leaves the Halos only 6.5 games out of first.
There's still a lot of baseball to be played, and anything can happen. Hunter's spontaneous prank may well have done more for Pujols – and the Angels – to get back on track than any extra batting practice or game film reviews could ever hope to achieve.

Saved me from having a heart attack. My 7 yr old daughter has Asperger's and is always chewing on non-food items, toys, pencils, you name it. Today my husband woke me up to alert me that my Haley just told him she accidently swallowed a penny. Jumping out of bed I find her in the bathroom over the toilet as she tried to "puke it out." I quickly stopped her because I didn't want her to choke on it coming back up. Since my husband was with her all morning I told him he should take her to the E.R. as I needed to stay with my other daughter who was still asleep. When they got back the Dr. took an x-ray to locate the penny and found it passed the danger zone and was in her colon. Now we wait patiently for her to b.m. as our treasure hunt has yet to begin. If we don't find it we will have to bring her back in tomorrow for another x-ray. I pray that she will b.m. soon. I actually have some chocolate chip oatmeal fiber one bars on hand. They do get things moving. If she hasn't b.m. by bedtime I'll start worrying again. urghhhhh!!Beckah Herndonhttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-20266288.post-16351586819153967192013-03-04T08:13:04.261-08:002013-03-04T08:13:04.261-08:00Thank you so much for the post.

At the time I wasn't too panicked since I remember swallowing a quarter as a kid and getting two dimes and a nickel in return! The info on the internet led me to believe it was most likely a benign situation, but when he wasn't able to keep anything,even a sip of water, down, I realized something was seriously wrong. To the ER we went where an X-ray revealed that the penny was actually lodged in his esophagus. In the end he turned out ok, but he did have to be put under and stay in the hospital a couple of days to have it taken care of.
So, just to put it out there, the rare instance does exist where eating change results in more than a snack of fiber bars.
Good luck, everyone~cheers! Ann Johnsonhttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-20266288.post-58863126017375211962013-02-23T20:30:09.474-08:002013-02-23T20:30:09.474-08:00I swallowed a penny when I was three. My grandma ...I swallowed a penny when I was three.

It seemed to scare her quite a bit also but I panicked for a minute befire remembering reading somewhere that if it isnt sharp it will usually pass harmlessly.. If it doesnt turn up or she complains or seems ill or not herself I will bring her in but I definitly hope to avoid dragging her and my six yr old son to the ER. On the bright side, I think she may finally heed my warnings about putting things in her mouth...Or not. :) Thanks for easing my mind a bit and for the entertainment and reassurance I got that I got from the comments that I am not a total failure as a parent:/Jenn Rawlineshttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-20266288.post-34033795647241349222012-09-14T23:34:56.664-07:002012-09-14T23:34:56.664-07:00I was just showing my 2 year old a penny, nickel, ...I was just showing my 2 year old a penny, nickel, dime, and quarter.

My daughter ate a penny the other night, or a coin of some sort she doesn't know a penny from a quarter right now.

She has digestive issues anyways and I'm worried it's gonna stay in there too long. I think I'm going to use your suggestion of some fiber one bars and see if that helps her out.

This was me.. I found you via Google and I'm glad I did. This is slightly comforting knowing they pass it after a few days.

My worry is that my daughter has some digestive issues and sometimes goes a week without a bowel movement. I think I might take your suggestion of the fiber one bars. Maybe they will help with this and in general.

A judge has ruled a Colorado baker must serve gay couples despite his religious convictions.
The case centered on Jack Phillips, owner of the Masterpiece Cakeshop in suburban Denver. Phillips said his faith prevented him from selling a wedding cake to a homosexual couple.
The two men got married in Massachusetts but wanted a wedding cake to celebrate in Colorado. The state's constitution allows same-sex civil unions but bans gay marriage.
The American Civil Liberties Union filed a case on behalf of the couple, accusing the owner of the Masterpiece Cakeshop of discrimination.
On Friday, administrative law judge Robert Spencer ruled Phillips will now face fines if he turns away other gay couples, despite his religious beliefs.
"We don't believe that this is a case about commerce. At its heart, this is a case about conscience," Phillips' attorney, Nicole Martin, said.
Phillips is prayerfully considering whether to appeal the judge's decision.
A similar case is pending in Washington state, where a florist is being sued for not providing service for a same-sex wedding.

Couple, 8 pets displaced in house fire
Fire chief: Contractor soldering sparked blaze
Published 12:02 PM EST Feb 04, 2013
A York County couple is temporarily displaced after a fire broke out in their home Monday morning near Strinestown.
Firefighters were called to the 300 block of Hykes Mill Road in Conewago Township for a fire in a ranch house.
The bathroom was undergoing renovations and the fire chief said it appears the fire was sparked by a contractor soldering.
"It started in the insulation, I guess from soldering, pieces fell down, it just blew up. He said older homes are like that, they just catch on fire that fast," said homeowner Linda Crouse.
Five dogs, a cat and two birds were rescued from the fire.

The Butterfly Effect
There's a quote at the beginning of this film regarding chaos theory: specifically, the idea that a butterfly flapping its wings can cause a catastrophe on the other side of the world. This film is one such catastrophe.
Those who enjoy something that gets to the point will have better luck watching a chess match between Andy Dick and Stephen Baldwin. Directors Eric Bress and J. Mackye Gruber (it takes two people to make something this bad?) start by focusing on the tragic childhoods of Evan and his sweetheart Kayleigh. When Evan (Kutcher) grows up and life hasn't turned out quite right for him or Kayleigh (Amy Smart), he realizes that the blackouts he had as a child are actually the key to traveling back in time to alter the present.
Though this plot makes about as much sense as a George W. Bush State of the Union address, the directors hardly sweat the details. Exacerbating the confusion at my screening was the distracting sound of cracking neck vertebrae as Kutcher fans watched the concept of chaos theory sail right over their tiny heads.
Each time Evan changes the past, it produces increasingly frustrating results. Kayleigh leads a troubled life and no matter what Evan does, his efforts don't make things better. In one particularly disturbing sequence, Evan returns to the present to find that he's dating Demi Moore. Evan's final solution is truly a message for our times: Do nothing. Do yourself a favor if you're considering seeing this one: Take the film's advice.

Study Skills
Minimize external distractions. Have a familiar study place which is quiet and comfortable, and has appropriate heating and lighting. Your study place should be well equipped with necessary items, such as pens, paper, and dictionary.
Designate your place of study as a place of study only. When you take breaks, read for enjoyment, or work on hobbies, do so in a place other than where you study.
Arrange not to be disturbed. Ask family and friends not to visit or phone during your study times. If this not possible, consider studying at the college or public library.
Determine the best time to study (morning, afternoon, or evening). Then arrange appropriate study blocks in your time management schedule.
Eliminate negative thoughts and feelings. This applies to both personal problems which cause you to be distracted, as well as negative attitudes toward a class or an instructor.
When studying, set realistic goals. You cannot learn an entire course in one evening. Trying to do so only invites failure.
Take breaks. The human mind can only function at full capacity for approximately 50 minutes; therefore, take a 10 - 15 minute break every 50 minutes. You will be able to resume your studies with a renewed vigor and a greater ability to comprehend and remember.
Remember, studying is important, but it is not your whole life. Reward yourself for a job well done and take a break from the books when you deserve it.

Using a computerized task designed to be frustrating, Chiappelli and colleagues discovered that stress induces an increase in salivary levels of kynurenic acid, an endogenous neuromodulator with nicotinic and N-methyl-D-aspartate antagonist properties. Patients with schizophrenia who were unable to tolerate the task and quit early exhibited unusually elevated levels of salivary kynurenic acid, implicating the kynurenine pathway in the pathophysiological mechanism of stress in schizophrenia.
Mathew and colleagues used high-resolution structural magnetic resonance imaging to quantify hippocampal subfield volumes across the psychosis spectrum. They reported reduced subfield volume most pronounced in the cornu ammonis 2+3, subiculum, and dentate gyrus among patients diagnosed as having schizophrenia, schizoaffective, or psychotic bipolar disorder. Furthermore, these subfield volumes correlated with positive symptoms as well as declarative memory, suggesting that hippocampus-related cognitive deficits may underlie the pathophysiology of psychosis.
Using data from an epidemiological cohort study followed up since birth, Holz and colleagues reported that prenatal nicotine exposure resulted in weaker activation in the anterior cingulate cortex and the inferior frontal gyrus during inhibitory control as well as in decreased volume in the inferior frontal gyrus, despite controlling for various confounders. Activity was inversely related to lifetime attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder in the inferior frontal gyrus and novelty seeking in the anterior cingulate cortex.

Kühn and colleagues showed neuroplasticity deficits in the hippocampal subfields cornu ammonis (CA) 2+3 of patients dependent on alcohol but not in healthy control individuals when comparing high-resolution structural magnetic resonance images acquired after withdrawal and 2 weeks later. The volume of cornu ammonis 2+3 in patients directly after withdrawal was negatively associated with years of regular alcohol consumption and more severe alcohol withdrawal symptoms.
Kohno and colleagues examined the relationship between resting-state functional connectivity within the mesocorticolimbic system and sensitivity of regional activation to levels of risk during risky decision making in methamphetamine-dependent and healthy individuals. The groups differed in midbrain functional connectivity and sensitivity of activation in the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex and striatum during risky decision making.

The Georgia Legal Services Program (GLSP) is fighting to keep youth in school and out of prison IN 2013 with projects that include Youth Summits in cities across the state.
GLSP Youth Summits have been held in Albany, Columbus, Augusta, Macon, Waycross and Brunswick.
If a young man drops out of school in Georgia, there's a 70% chance he'll end up in prison, said GLSP Education Specialist Attorney Ira Foster in the GLSP Macon regional office.
Holding Youth Summits, GLSP attorneys have teamed up with partners in several Georgia communities including school representatives, district attorney's offices, police, and youth advocates.
These adults that care – gather to talk with young people and their parents about the importance of staying in school and making good decisions about the future.
Families are also given information about their legal rights to an education, how to stay in school despite disabilities and how to get an education plan drawn up for children with disabilities.
Other important issues discussed at the summits include as teen dating violence, teen pregnancy and gang violence.
TONIGHT in Augusta, Georgia - we again honor the ongoing lessons we can use from the late civil rights legend the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
The Progressive Religious Coalition of Augusta presents:
The 7th Annual Interfaith Service of Celebration: "Keeping the Dream Alive: Why Dr. King Still Matters"
Saturday,January 18, 2014
6:45 p.m.
Trinity On The Hill United Methodist Church
1330 Monte Sano Avenue
Augusta, GA
Keynote Speaker: Arun Gandhi
Grandson of Mohandas (Mahatma) Gandhi
Founder, Gandhi Worldwide Education Institute
"Lessons from My Grandfather''
A Progressive Democrat and Political Activist in Augusta, Georgia devoted to fighting for the rights of medium and low income people, Rev. Terence Dicks honors those who have carried the Civil Rights mantle with a goal of equality and dignity.
Rev. Dicks founded a project entitled "Claiming A Street Named King" to encourage economic development on streets named for human rights leaders like Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
The "Claiming A Street Named King" project is featured in excellent AOL story by Huffington Post Media Group writer Stefanos Chen.
The Jan. 17, 2012 story by Mr. Chen is entitled:
"MLK, USA: Many King Streets Stuck on Economic Outskirts"
Those Human Rights Leaders include late soul singer Mr.James Brown, the late Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and his late wife Coretta Scott King, Mr. Nelson Mandela, Mahatma Gandhi, Muhammad Ali, Jesse Jackson, GraceLee Boggs, Cesar Chavez and many others who fight the good fight in their neighborhoods every day.
In the summer of 1999, Rev. Dicks was ordained at the St. Johns Missionary Baptist Church in Brunswick, Georgia by Rev. Zack Lyde.
Starting in Feb. 2012, Mr. Dicks was named Southern Regional organizer for the Progressive Democrats of America (PDA).
Mr. Dicks serves as the PDA state of Georgia Coordinator (2008-present).
He joined the national PDA in 2007.
He is helping the PDA with the the Progressive Southern Strategy that is developing Progressive Candidates that support Progressive Legislation and Values - the traditional ideals of the Democratic Party.
Mr. Dicks is man hoping mankind will one day treat each other with compassion and respect the Creator's creation.
A 1980 graduate of Westside High School in Augusta whose higher learning educations has been on the streets of his hometown, having served or continues to be involved in numerous international, state and local organizations.
Terence is a longtime member (2004-present) of the Augusta Progressive Religious Coalition.
Among the many positive aspects of the coalition, Dicks developed a relationship with Mr. Omar Neal, who since Nov. 3, 2008 has been the Mayor of the amazingly historic city of Tuskegee, Alabama (Home of Booker T. Washington, George Washington Carver, Rosa Parks and the Tuskegee Airmen who are featured in the 2012 George Lucas movie Red Tails directed by Anthony Hemingway and the 1995 HBO movie "The Tuskegee Airmen" directed by Robert Markowitz)
Mr. Omar Neal, who is a motivational speaker, was the keynote speaker at the 2011 Martin Luther King Day celebration organized by the Augusta Progressive Religious Coalition on Mon., Jan. 24, 2011 at the Tabernacle Baptist Church in Augusta.
In 1991, Mr. Neal founded "You Got the Power" Enterprises Inc. - a "communications company that specializes in talk radio, motivational workshops, media consulting, advertising and motivational speaking."
Rev. Dicks is concerned that the Augusta City Council decided to disband the decades old Augusta Human Relations Commission.
A detailed study has been done on improving Martin Luther King Boulevard in Augusta but so far nothing has been done.
The study was initiated because Mr. Dicks founded an effort entitled "Claiming A Street Named King" in collaboration with the Georgia Clients Council.
The project includes supporting efforts to repair and bring economic development to all streets and boulevards named for Dr. King around the world and expanding the effort to include parkways named for all human rights activists.
Reclaiming the streets and heritage of these civic leaders can reinvigorate "economic development and economic empowerment" in each community that honors their work.
Rev. Dicks hopes to help others "improve the condition of boulevards named after Martin Luther King, Jr. across Georgia" and the nation.
The project is supported by East Carolina University Professor and author Derek H. Alderman, who wrote "Martin Luther King, Jr. Streets in the South: A New Landscape of Memory."
"Dr. Alderman is a geographer who has helped us to work on a plan for the redevelopment of the Martin Luther King Jr. boulevards," Dicks said.
"There was a lot of hope around those streets and what he did for me is he reminded me of why we name those streets for Martin Luther King, Jr.," he said. "We are heading into the second or third generation who doesn't know about Dr. King and his achievements."
Author Jonathon Tilove "wrote the book that inspired me" entitled "Along Martin Luther King: Travels on Black America's Main Street."
Mr. Dicks hopes those interested will message him thru Twitter/Facebook.
For nearly a decade, Terence has been a board member (2002-present) of Georgia Legal Services Program and served (2005-2010) on the organization's Georgia Committee on Civil Justice and is on the state bar president advisory committee.
The mission of Georgia Legal Services Program is "to provide access to justice and opportunities out of poverty for low-income Georgians."
Terence Dicks represents The Edge Connection with his seat on the board of the Georgia Legal Services Program (GLSP).
Dicks joined the Edge Connection in 2009.
"The Edge Connection is one of my affiliations on the Georgia Legal Services Program Board of Directors," Dicks said.
Based at Kennesaw State University's Coles Business College in central Georgia just north of Atlanta, The Edge Connection "promotes and works with micro businesses and small businesses throughout Georgia," Dicks said.
The Edge Connection creates "opportunities for long-term economic self-sufficiency and successful entrepreneurial training for low-to-moderate income individuals," states the nonprofit's Twitter page bio.

Gov. Rick Scott was trying to give Floridians concerned about meningitis a number to call about health information, but he accidentally directed them toward a sex line instead.
WUSF is reporting that they received several messages after posting the number Scott announced as a helpline for health updates.
Callers of the false number heard the voice of a young female saying, "Hello boys, thank you for calling me on my anniversary." The real number is 866-523-7339.
