"It's not a vote for jobs," Bernal said. "A vote for casinos is a vote for predatory gambling."
The debate over casinos heated up on Beacon Hill as legislators await a proposal by House Speaker Robert A. DeLeo, D-Winthrop. Either this month or next, DeLeo plans to release a bill that he said will call for approval of casino resorts and slot machines for the state's four horse and dog tracks in the eastern part of the state.
DeLeo said he sees casinos as a way to create jobs in the down economy.
His election as speaker last year is one reason proponents are hopeful that casinos will be approved.
DeLeo replaced former and currently-indicted House Speaker Salvatore F. DiMasi, D-Boston, who opposed casinos and orchestrated a lopsided vote against expanded gambling in the House in 2008.
In a move that could help lay the groundwork for approval of casinos, the Massachusetts Partnership for Responsible Gambling, an alliance that includes the Mohegan Sun, called for adequate money to be set aside for preventing, intervening and treating problem gambling.
"We get the need to support problem gambling," said Jeffrey E. Hartmann, chief operating officer of the Mohegan Sun in Connecticut.
In a two-page release, the partnership, which also includes the Massachusetts Council on Compulsive Gambling, the four race tracks and the Massachusetts State Lottery Commission, also recommended that legislators create an oversight authority to regulate expanded gambling, including experts in the field of gambling addiction and public health. The partnership said that services for problem gamblers should be included in any gambling bill.
The partnership said an estimated 1 to 3 percent of people experiences problems with gambling at some point.
In his failed 2007 bill to create casino resorts, Gov. Deval L. Patrick asked for 2.5 percent of casino pretax revenues, or about $51 million a year, to fund education programs and expand treatment for addicted gamblers.
Hartmann talked about the procedures the Mohegan Sun uses to prevent and identify addictive gambling including training for new employees, comprehensive signs including the phone number for the Connecticut Council on Problem Gambling and an internal committee to coordinate efforts.
But after the formal press conference, Hartmann, in an interview, conceded that the Mohegan Sun failed to adequately deal with an addicted gambler from Western Massachusetts who said he lost a net $450,000 mostly at the Connecticut casino over the course of a year.
Hartmann talked with the gambler from the Berkshires after both participated in the press conference on the need for practices to ensure responsible gambling in the state.
Hartmann told "Scott," the addicted gambler, that in hindsight, "I wish we had connected everything. Clearly, we didn't handle it properly."
Scott, 51, of Peru, refused to give his last name after speaking at the press conference about his addiction. Between 2007 and 2008, Scott said he would sometimes gamble 23 hours straight at the Mohegan Sun and often several days a week. "Nobody mentioned a thing about intervention," Scott said. "They should have some sort of intervention."
Hartmann told the man he was pleased he received help through the Massachusetts Council on Compulsive Gambling. Scott said he has not gambled in 22 months and that he did not blame the casino for his addiction. Hartmann said he would look into the man's case and make changes if the casino made mistakes in dealing with him.

2012 Lexus IS 350 Sedan 4dr Sedan (3.5L 6cyl 6A)
Just turned in my 09' TL, for the IS350. Although its only been two weeks, I am in love! I had a great leasing experience, and feel I got a great deal.
Stylish LED daytime lights, keyless entry, smooth ride, great handling, backup camera, classy cabin decor, stylish gauges, ventilated seats, bluetooth capabilities and it's sporty style!
More "storage" space in cabin. Get rid of the ashtray and make it a coin holder. Better cup holders, HID fog lamps, and...nothing else! If they corrected those three issues, the car would be perfect!
Just traded in an 07 3-series. BMW had so many problems with that car and having heard so many great things about Lexus build quality and dealership service I gave the IS350 a try. The car is so fast! It handles in turns better than a BMW and way more features for the dollar. First and definitely not my last Lexus!!
Leather so soft and supple. Quiet ride and the car is really quick off the line. I didn't get the AWD option but I imagine it handles even better. Love the ventilated seats, Bluetooth of course, and Lexus Enform-- you can just call Lexus and they input your destination right to the car. Also love that you can send your car destinations from your computer before heading out. F-sport edition looked really nice too but didn't get it. Also the LED daytime running lights look sweet.
Make improvements to the cupholders, very small and oddly placed. BMW had bad cupholders too so I'm sort of used to it by now. Could use a little bigger nav screen and instrument cluster. I'd like to see radio stations in between the speedometer and tachometer in the information screen.

90 Road Travel Tips Continued: Packing
Helping people have the best road trips possible is something we've been doing for decades. In honor of the 90th anniversary edition of the Rand McNally Road Atlas, we've compiled 90 tips—45 of them in the atlas itself and 45 more in this series of four articles. Tips #46–#58 focus on packing both your bags and your car. Remember, you can pick up tips #1–#45 in the 2014 Rand McNally Road Atlas, available in stores and online.
#46: Create a travel wardrobe—Part 1. Select a few key pieces in a dark neutral color that you can readily mix, match, and accessorize to create many outfits. Black, navy blue, and brown hide stains (and things can get messy on the road) better than lighter colors.
#47: Create a travel wardrobe—Part 2: Choose clothes made of lightweight fabrics that take up minimum space; are wrinkle-resistant; and are easy to layer, hand wash, and line dry. Good choices are jersey, cotton/Lycra or lighter-wool blends, and that "wicking" technical material used for active wear. If it's cold, consider investing in some thin but oh-so warm silk long underwear.
#48: Sort out the spare keys. Be sure you have an extra set of all the keys from home and for the car.Designate one person as the "keeper of the spares," and have that person keep the spare keys with him or her at all times, so you'll never get locked out.
#49: Make both digital and hard-copy lists of important contacts. It should include numbers for roadside assistance, reporting lost credit cards, your car insurance company, and medical and other emergency contacts. Keep one hard copy in the glove compartment and another in someone's purse or knapsack.
#50: Leave a copy of your itinerary with someone at home, and check in regularly. This is especially important if you're traveling alone and/or in remote areas.
#51: Stock up for pit stops. Pack plenty of pocket packs of tissues, hand sanitizer, moist wipes, and a travel size spray bottle filled with alcohol. You can use the latter not only to sanitize hands but also to clean surfaces before eating or to spray public toilet seats. Also, if you have small kids, clean the removable plastic potty-chair receptacle and bring it along in a plastic bag for use in emergency bathroom situations.
#52: Bring a cooler. Even if you prefer restaurants to picnics, have a small cooler filled with healthful drinks and snacks to stay well hydrated and well nourished on the road.You'll not only keep those energy bars from melting and that fruit from going bad, but you'll also save money.
#53: Pack things to keep everyone entertained. The list should include car games; print and audio books; and tablets loaded with digital books, games, and movies.
#54: Plan to stay connected in the car. Bring a wireless router that allows for mobile internet access.
#55: Organize loose items in translucent-plastic lidded bins sold at houseware stores. They're waterproof, durable, reusable, stackable, and come in many sizes. You can see what's inside, and you can label them. They're perfect for holding tools; roadside emergency kits; camping gear; pet food and accessories; and rain or snow gear like umbrellas, rain ponchos, scrapers, and de-icer.
#56: Have a separate plastic bin or a box to hold recyclables. If your campground doesn't offer recycling, check out apps that help you find recycling centers.
#57: Separate on-the-road stuff from when-we-get there items. Smaller grab-and-go bags packed only with overnight essentials simplifies stopping at day's end.
#58: Load the car with care. The least essential items go in first followed by the more essential stuff (like your smaller, grab-and-go overnight bags). Keep absolute essentials right at hand. These include first-aid kits, important medications, tissues, sanitizers, moist wipes, diapers, etc.

Thanks, I just did send them a message.
it's too late. Once NYX shareholders agreed to be sold to Deutsche in the American regulators side of the fence, you can't jump back out of that fence. this is now in the GERMANS (Deutsche Boerse shareholders) court. NYX american investors are the biggest losers.
You don't have to be an NYX shareholder to express your concern that this merger will adversely affect competition in Europe, you know?
It's still not too late for the regulators to nix this deal.
Still time to voice your displeasure.OR... maybe we should inundate the Commission with a plea to put the deal through. Since Europeans tend to hate Americans, maybe they'll do the opposite if we tell them we WANT the deal to go through.Am I starting to clutch at straws, here?

Crawford had two would-be sacks Wednesday and impressed coach Dennis Allen with his willingness "to do the things that are necessary to be good."
"I think in my experiences, some guys are willing to go that extra to really be good and some guys are looking for some shortcuts to take," Allen said. "They want to be good but they're not willing to pay the price to be good. And he's one of those that's willing to pay the price to be good."
It remains to be seen if Crawford, a fifth-round pick in the April draft, can make an immediate impact, but he's clearly on the right path.
Crawford had an up-and-down career at Penn State, bursting onto the scene as a true sophomore in 2009 with 14.5 tackles for loss and 5.5 sacks. He fell short of expectations the following season, in part because of a midseason foot injury, but bounced back with a solid, if unspectacular, senior season in 2011.
A relative newcomer to football, Crawford didn't begin playing until his junior season at St. Augustine Prep (N.J.) in 2006. Crawford moved to the U.S. from London in 2005.
Crawford's size and athleticism have always been assets. Coupled with his work ethic and some experience at the pro level, he could be a pleasant surprise as a late-round flier for the Raiders.

Residents of the neighborhood at the corner of Porter Lane and Eva Street in midtown Ventura are in for a month-long sighting of detour signs during a concerted effort to rid the area groundwater of a gasoline additive that leaked from an underground tank some 26 years ago.
In 1988, an underground tank containing gasoline at the Five Points Car Wash began to leak. The gasoline contained the additive methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE), which bonds easily to water. After reaching the water table, the MTBE drifted under Main Street and into the community in a narrow plume. To further complicate matters, another leak from an adjacent property, of the same chemical, drifted into the same plume.
MTBE was added to gasoline in the past in because it aids in combustion.
The area affected stretches from behind Five Points Car Wash to just past the sidewalk on the corner of Eva Street and Porter Lane to a depth of 16 feet.
Gina Teresa, environmental health specialist with the County of Ventura, says that the groundwater in the community is not a drinking water source and that the project has been going on for months, taking samples from area wells in order to determine if the concentration is lessening.
The current project will inject a two-part oxidant that will destroy the contaminants.
Teresa says that the project has been delayed several times before in the past.
"A lot of these cases are funded by the state, so if they don't have the funding to do the cleanup they wait for reimbursement," said Teresa.
Using the California State Water Resources Control Board's GeoTracker map, details of areas in need of cleanup can be seen. In the city of Ventura, there are multiple sites that are scheduled for cleanup.
TRAK Environmental Group, a local private business, has been contracted to complete the project and, on a Monday afternoon, was on-site. Several white trucks and road crews were on hand to guide traffic, and temporary no-parking signs have been erected on Porter Lane and Eva Street.
The Ventura County Environmental Health Division estimates that the cleanup should be completed by December 2015, but the project on Eva Street and Porter Lane should conclude within 30 to 40 days. Area residents have been notified of the project, says Teresa.
"[MTBE] is not a volatile organic carbon, it's more of a nuisance chemical," says Teresa.

From my trip to the Upper Chattahoochee River above Helen, Ga. earlier this year and talking with the guide at the Unicoi Fly Shop, who also owns and stocks his own private water. They stock only sterile females to; prevent reproduction and they do not travel as far as the native fertile females. So there are options availible from the hatcheries to prevent some or all the stockings to over propagate the native species. Since the State of Georgia has some unusal water rights laws that allow landowers to own the water and the fishing rights to them, I tend to believe him.
That's interesting. If land owners can own the water, then if you release something upstream that goes into your neighbor's section of the water and either pollutes it or does some kind of damage, can you be sued? Or what about if you are fishing the boundary of your water and your neighbor's and you catch a large fish that travels downstream into your neighbor's water. Is it considered trespassing if you continue down the stream (like it would be if you chased a deer onto your neighbor's property).

Tolerance and preference aren't the same. They are cold water fish and I assume would prefer to stay in the cold water. Until a few years ago the state record rainbow was a fish caught in Weiss Lake, which was likely stocked somewhere in GA, but I don't know of another instance of this happening.

The state of TN has introduced stocking several species of fish into the Elk. Rainbows, Browns, Brook Trout and the occasional cuttbow.
Of course they also spent hundred of thousands of dollars to install a system to provide higher rates of dissolved oxygen below the dams and minimal flow requirements. Most of which were initialized due to pressure from clubs, groups, organizations, guides, store owners etc... a process that started in the early 80's before the dam broke.
And yes the number of fisherman fishing the river from years past has definitely grown. However 95% of the fisherman fish 5% of the water.
No body wants to work for it anymore! The better fish tend to end up 2-10 miles down river in optimal habitat with less pressure and usually only move upstream when the water tends to warm. Fortunately with the minimal flow requirements studies are showing the fish are not traveling as far as they once were. However fish are still being reported and caught at the mouth of the elk /confluence of the TN river during winter months.

A few things....
brown trout will almost certainly be unable to spawn in the Sipsey. It is extremely rare for stocked trout to be able to spawn below dams in the southeast. The only place I know of where this happens regularly is below South Holston in northeast TN. There, they have a weir that holds back the pulse of water and lets it out more gradually. So, for the most part, there is no danger of these fish establishing a reproducing population of their own. That means they can be controlled by stocking (or not stocking).
second, the comparing TN and AL state game and fish depts is apples and oranges. TN is farther north and has lots of hypolimnetic release dams that can support trout. Most of the dams in Alabama do not release cold enough water to support trout. Only Lewis Smith and maybe Martin are deep enough to do that. So, trout will never become the big cash cow that they have in places like TN and AR. Thus, ADCNR likely has little interest in pursuing a brown trout fishery either in the Sipsey or anywhere else: trout are not nor are ever likely to become a major fishery in the state.
third, Alabama does not even raise its trout, it gets them from somewhere else. In contrast, TN raises trout in about 5 different hatcheries, plus has a National fish hatchery at Dale Hollow Lake, which actually raises almost 1/2 the trout stocked in the state, including almost 3/4 of the brown trout. I am told that it is much harder (and thus more $) to raise brown trout than rainbow trout. They just don't do well in hatcheries. So, it not such a simple matter of replacing browns with rainbows. It would cost more, and maybe be more of a problem than it would be worth.
Last, brown trout have been shown to eat rare and endangered species in some places where they have been stocked, so if there are any in the Sipsey (and there are, but I don't know where they are found), then that is a black mark against stocking browns. A stream I know near Va Tech used to have great brown trout fishing in it but the state discontinued stocking browns in there 10 years ago after research found that they were consuming large numbers of an endangered darter.
It is OK to ask, but don't be surprised if ADCNR is not interested.

Mr. Strength,
We do not automatically require a formal scientific study as part of our process for the permitted stocking of fish in public waters.
When we are contacted by a private individual or entity that wishes to stock fish (or any other aquatic organism) into Alabama public waters; we provide them with an application package for them to utilize in seeking a permit for the stocking (see the attached PDF file). Once we have received a completed stocking permit application; it is evaluated by Fisheries Section Biologists utilizing the criteria that are specified in the application package. An individual permit is either issued or denied based on the results of the evaluation of the application against these criteria.
We are aware that there are groups and individuals that are interested in having brown trout stocked into the Lewis Smith Dam tailrace. However, there are no plans within the Division of Wildlife and Freshwater Fisheries (WFF) to undertake any brown trout stockings at this time.
As you are probably aware, the present program that provides for the stockings of rainbow trout by the US Fish & Wildlife Service (FWS) into the tailrace below Lewis Smith is made possible through an agreement between where WFF annually provides Gulf strain striped bass fry to FWS in return for the rainbow trout. Coincidently, the majority of the striped bass fry that are provided to the FWS are produced from striped bass brood stock obtained from Lewis Smith Lake. Since Lewis Smith Lake is not a Federal project, there is no Federal mitigation nexus that would provide FWS a means to sustain these rainbow trout stockings without having an agreement such as we have in place.
You are correct that even relatively small scientific studies are costly in terms of funding and other resources. Fortunately, we have been able to evaluate previous applications for privately sponsored public water fish stockings without the need for special studies due primarily to the fact that we have access to a great deal of previous scientific research and the professional experience of our biological staff.
WFF has on several occasions considered the idea of a trout fishing permit/license, but at this time there are no plans to pursue one. Please be aware that all hunting and fishing licenses must be instituted through legislative action. WFF does not have the independent authority to implement fishing or hunting licenses.
Please let me know if you have any additional questions or need additional information.
Thank you for your interest and concern for our aquatic resources.

Subject: Stocking Permit
Mr. Nichols,
I am aware that the Sipsey Chapter of Trout Unlimited is currently circulating a petition to allow for the stocking of brown trout in the tailraces of Lewis Smith dam. Im writing you for more information on this process.
My central concern is that this needs to be studied prior to the issuance of a permit but the petition does not request such a study. Does the state automatically perform such a study if a permit is requested?
Im not opposed to the idea of stocking brown trout, but Im not a biologist and I do recognize the need to have experts review such a plan. Certainly these studies cost money so who normally funds such a study? Also are you aware if Alabama has considered the idea of a trout license to fund research and stocking of trout in the Sipsey?
Thank your for your time to answer my questions and for your service to the state wildlife and sportsmen.

So it appears that the Sipsey Chapter is asking for a stocking permit when no study is required by the state.
This is seeming more like a bad idea.

Joe Girardi confirmed yesterday that Phil Hughes will make two more rehab starts, probably one at Double-A Trenton and one at Triple-A Scranton, after which — assuming everything goes well — he could be back with the Yankees before the All-Star break.
Report: Marlins will retire Jose Fernandez's No. 16
The entire Marlins roster will wear the number 16 on the backs of their uniforms in remembrance of pitcher Jose Fernandez, who died in a boating accident on Sunday morning. After that? "No one will wear No. 16 for the Marlins again," team owner Jeffrey Loria said on Monday evening, as Tyler Kepner of the New York Times reports.
Though Fernandez only pitched parts of four seasons for the Marlins, he already ranks fifth in career WAR in club history, according to Baseball Reference. He also owns the best career winning percentage as well as the second-lowest single-season ERA (2.19 in 2013) and the second-lowest single-season WHIP (0.979 in 2013). Fernandez was already one of the best pitchers in Marlins history and was on his way to becoming a perennial All-Star, if not a Hall of Famer.
Then add to that his outstanding personality and what he meant both to the Marlins organization and to the city of Miami. Loria has gotten a lot of criticism over the years, but he nailed it with this decision.
Report: Majestic workers stayed up all night making No. 16 jerseys for the Marlins
As Craig mentioned earlier, the Marlins will all wear No. 16 jerseys to honor pitcher Jose Fernandez, who tragically died in a boating accident on Sunday morning. It's a fitting tribute as the Marlins return to the playing field after Sunday's game was cancelled.
We don't often hear about the behind-the-scenes stuff that goes on during these special circumstances. As Clark Spencer of the Miami Herald reports, workers at the Majestic manufacturing facility in Easton, PA — about two hours north of Philadelphia — stayed up all night Sunday night into Monday morning in order to make those custom No. 16 jerseys for the Marlins. They were shipped via air so they would arrive in time for the game tonight.
FanGraphs writer Eric Longenhagen notes how hard those Majestic employees work — often for low pay :
Kudos to Majestic for making a concerted effort to help the Marlins out in their time of need.

It cannot rise while a liberal Black president is in the whitehouse.
I know this because my business associates tell me they are holding back on investment for the good of the country, lest eh public get the idea that the economy can survive progressive measures.
The only rational conclusion is that the Black man in charge is manipulating.
The DOW has already risen from 6500 to 14000 since our wonderful president took office, are you a #$%$?
Dude you are certainly off message with this post. I would call it a night and check in tomorrow with your political handlers for retraining,
So, your business associates are trying to manipulate the economy and are hurting themselves by failing to invest in order to try to preserve their mistaken notions and this is, somehow, Obama's fault.
Clearly you not only don't read what you write, you don't understand what you are claiming either. Or maybe you are secretly Shelley The Republican and are simply pretending to be a supporter while mocking the group you nominally back.
Either way this is a great post whether you knew how hilarious it was or not. Please provide more!
It is for the good of the economy long term. Better to spend today to kill an idea that will hurt for decades.
You get the idea ???

TRENTON — Many longtime Republican donors and fundraisers are reconsidering their intentions to back Gov. Chris Christie for president in 2016 now that former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush appears to be more seriously weighing whether to enter the race, according to a report by the New York Times.
Even Christie Whitman, the former Republican New Jersey governor, said having to pick between Christie and Bush "would be very awkward," according to the report.
Lawrence E. Bathgate II, a former finance chairman of the Republican National Committee and a major donor in New Jersey, said it would be "a fraught decision," the report said.
Compounding the matter is the George Washington bridge scandal that has been hounding Christie for the last few months — an issue experts say could hurt his chances at the White House.
Some donors told the Times they had no alternative but to hope that Christie could shed the issue until Bush — the son of former President George Bush and the younger brother of former President George W. Bush — became a serious contender.
"They feel good about Jeb," Barry Wynn, a fundraiser for George W. Bush and a former chairman of the Republican Party in South Carolina, told the newspaper. "They don't have any questions about his integrity."
Whitman said she doesn't know "that Chris will be there at the end of the day" as the bridge scandal continues, according to the report.
Christie has ties to the Bush family. He helped raise money for George W. Bush's victory in 2000, and Bush appointed Christie the U.S. Attorney for New Jersey in 2001.
Neither Christie or Bush have officially declared they will run for president.

#PositiveLocalNews: Documentary To Shed Positive Light On Salinas
Filmmaker depicts young people doing positive things in life
SALINAS, Calif. - Violence in Salinas has been making headlines across the United States for decades. Per capita, the city often ranks "more violent" than much larger cities. But now, one filmmaker wants to bring the spotlight to the positive side of Salinas with a new documentary not yet released.
The filmmaker, Carolyn Brown, grew up in the Silicon Valley and said she had a negative perception of Salinas because that's all she ever heard. Her documentary follows four young adults in Salinas doing positive things despite some challenges that exist in the area. Brown said she wanted to show the stories that aren't told.
Central Coast News decided to do the same. The East Salinas Family Center is a program that is doing its part to keep kids in a positive environment.
The students are between six and 12 years old and are a part of Life Inc. Kids come to learn and get good grades, but the non-profit goes further.
"It keeps them off the streets and it's a safe environment to come to," said Marlene Vanzant, program director for Life Inc.
Vanzant said because most of the parents of kids in the program don't speak English, older high school students volunteer their time to tutor.
"Our students have role models in these students. Because I can only allow good students to come here and tutor, so their behavior is positive," she said.
Surprised to hear this is happening in Salinas?
The Salinas Project documentary aims to showcase young people who are making something of their lives.
"This film shows a lot of difficult situations, but they are survivors and resilient, and they are succeeding," said filmmaker Carolyn Brown.
Life Inc. isn't featured in the film, but the filmmaker said these are the success stories that need to be heard. Because at Life Inc., kids helping kids look past the violence happens every day after school, in East Salinas.
"If you respect people, they will respect you, and also that we should treat everyone fairly and not unjustly," said Gustavo Martinez, a student at Life, Inc.
The after-school program survives only by grants and donations.
Films crews are done shooting the film and are in the final stages of editing. Central Coast News will be following the latest developments on the documentary.

New Orleans Hornets rookie Austin Rivers will join a long list of college shooting guards who attempted to make the transition to point guard in the NBA. It's an experiment with a track record of more misses than hits.
Usually, if a guy is too small to play shooting guard in the pros, a team tries to match him up with players his size at point guard. But some players have gotten away with being undersized shooting guards.
Allen Iverson, who is 6'1", pretty much became the poster child for that description. A.I. won a number of scoring titles as well as an MVP and earned a trip to the NBA Finals while with the Sixers. Pound for pound, "The Answer" was one of the NBA's greatest players.
But there are plenty of examples of the experiment failing. DaJuan Wagner, who is 6'2", was supposed to be the second coming of Iverson after an illustrious high school career in New Jersey and a much-maligned year at Memphis. Instead, Wagner never found his groove in the pros and injuries forced him out early.
Juan Dixon was a national champion at Maryland playing off the ball, but couldn't quite hack it as point guard in the pros. The same has been true for former Villanova guard Randy Foye.
For Rivers, who is 6'4", to avoid joining the ranks of Dixon and Foye, here are a few guards he should emulate to avoid becoming another 'tweener who couldn't hack it.

CLEMSON – Big game last fall in Tallahassee, and Clemson was closer to winning it than even the 18-point margin late in the fourth quarter would indicate. Yet you can't ignore the roll Florida State rode in the second half, scoring 28 unanswered points.
Let's get right to it. Plenty to discuss, both good and bad.
This is the third installment of our new biweekly feature on PostandCourier.com and the TigerTracks blog this summer. I'll provide a glimpse to the past – evaluating throwback tape from each 2012 game – as well as one into the future, looking ahead to whichever opponent awaits correlating to that game.
We'll continue each Thursday and Monday until Aug. 15.
This is a way to utilize what we've learned about the returning Tigers and how they'll fit in with the 2013 team, which is why you won't read a ton of elaboration on guys who are gone (DeAndre Hopkins, Jonathan Willard, etc.)

Mother's Day Is Every Day for Showbiz Women Who Mix Maternity with Celebrity
Downtown on lower Fifth Avenue, flame-haired Blair (Altered States) Brown is trying on 1960s pillbox hats and knee-baring pastel suits for her role as Jacqueline Kennedy in the miniseries Kennedy, which will air on NBC later this year. Snoozing nearby, surrounded by swatches and wigs and watched over by his nanny, is 1-year-old Robert Jordan, Blair's son by swarthy actor Richard {Interiors, Captains and the Kings) Jordan, 44.
A chauffeur-driven limo wends its way down Manhattan's East Side, and inside Good Morning America co-host Joan Lunden nurses 6-week-old Lindsay, her second daughter. When they arrive, Lunden, 32, passes the baby to a production assistant, gets a last-minute touch-up from the makeup woman, and tapes an interview with Bob Hope in his hotel suite.
These career women can afford baby-sitters, of course. What they can't afford, they feel, is to miss out on being with their very young children. Other celebrity moms—Jill Clayburgh, Olivia Hussey, Jaclyn Smith, Lucie Arnaz, rocker Chrissie Hynde, Clio Goldsmith and Lindsay Wagner—also are taking up the challenge of combining a profession with parenthood. "I got to a point in my life where I had some of the things I thought I always wanted," explains Brown, 35, of her decision to have a child. "I was happy about my work, but I found it really wasn't enough." Clio Goldsmith, the sizzling 25-year-old star of France's The Gift and mother of Talita, born last September, echoes Brown's sentiments. "I made Talita," she says, "because I wanted somebody else to think about. In this job you think about yourself the whole goddamn time."
Motherhood has proved a happy diversion from that kind of narcissism for most of these women. "When you're an actress, you may lose your occupation unless you stay very svelte," says the 5'6" Brown. She gained a hefty 50 pounds during her pregnancy and, after her son was born, put her career on hold for another seven months until she reduced to 115.
Duncan, who made her last stage appearance during her third month, ballooned from 107 to 157 and used pregnancy as "an excuse not to be disciplined." That included dropping out of exercise classes because they were "a big bore." Broadway's Peter Pan is paying for it now with daily ballet, aerobic and fitness classes; Duncan has five pounds more to go. GMA 's Lunden put on 40 pounds, but she took some solace in the fact that her husband, TV producer Michael Krauss, 43, gained right along with her. Both are postponing diets until Lunden stops nursing.
Morning sickness prevented 31-year-old Olivia Hussey from working during her pregnancy with second son Maximillian, born in January. "It didn't leave me for nine months," she reports. Nausea also plagued Lunden, but eating a large bowl of buttered noodles daily helped her to stay on the air until two weeks before giving birth.
Childbirth classes are de rigueur for '80s parents; Lunden and Krauss opted for Lamaze. Duncan and Brown (and their spouses) took similar instruction, but their children were delivered by cesarean after long labors—26 hours in Duncan's case, 20 in Brown's. Unlike her American counterparts, Milan-based Goldsmith unabashedly declares that she doesn't feel birth is a spectator sport, either for herself ("I want to see my baby arrive all clean with its little pink sweater, shoes and hat") or for her husband, TV producer Carlo Puri ("I wouldn't wish witnessing it on anybody, least of all Carlo").
To be sure, there are distinct advantages to being a rich and famous mom. Like the nanny that accompanied Lucie Arnaz, 31, and hubby Laurence Luckinbill when, according to Lucie, they took No. 1 son Simon "everywhere." Simon, now 2½ years old, will tag along with them, as well as the family's newest addition, 4-month-old Joseph, when Mom and Dad tour the country this summer in I Do! I Do! Lunden's au pair enabled her to go back before the cameras when Lindsay was 3 weeks old. "I would never recommend that anyone else do what I did," says Lunden. "Having to go back on the air is an unusual need."
Goldsmith returned to work, filming a European TV miniseries, six weeks after giving birth. She leaves Talita with a nanny and sometimes her mother-in-law. Brown's full-time mother's helper is now traveling with her and Robert on location in Hyannis, Palm Beach and Richmond, Va. for Kennedy.
Caring for Jeffrey was the easy part for Duncan; he merely adapted to her Broadway-shaped timing, going to bed at 1:30 a.m., waking briefly for an 8:30 feeding, then sleeping till noon. (Having a full-time baby-sitter doesn't hurt either.) The hard part is going back to work. "I haven't missed it," she says, "and I'm so nervous, I'm seeing a psychiatrist to help me get over the feeling that I can't do it."
"There is no greater change in a woman's life than having a baby," allows Lunden. Goldsmith agrees. "I saw everything in a dream, La Vie en Rose. I even painted my flat pink," she admits. "It never came into my mind all the problems—the nannies, the nappies, the crying—that fall upon you when you've got a child." Says Brown, between fittings for her role as Jackie: "I don't see how people with no money for help and no options do it." But they do, Blair. They do.

This is about a hot word that, as far as I know, never got mentioned at either the Democratic or Republican Conventions. And it was certainly farthest from the applause lines in the speech by McCain's proposed vice president, the "hockey mom," who sniffed and jeered at community organizing poor people and the very idea that prisoners of war might have any rights.
This is about Abese Feyissa, an Ethiopian man, 41 years old, who lives with 90,000 Sudanese, Somalis, and fellow Ethiopians in the tents and thatched-roof shacks in Kakuma in the desert in Kenya. It's a refugee camp. THAT'S THE WORD: "REFUGEES."
Now 41 and employed by a Nongovernmental Organization (NGO), one of the international relief agencies, he has lived there for 12 years, grown into early middle age watching his peers stagnate, escape under various ruses, or fall apart.
For the men in particular, the greatest pain is the loss of self, of the concept of time, of the ability to form deep relationships, or give meaning to one's existence. He says: the Ethiopians appear contented and calm, " but the truth is different. There are only bodies in Kakuma. Everyone's souls are traveling: they have gone for resettlement, completed interrupted college studies, saved as much money as they wanted, in the world of daydreams."
Bitter about long refugee existence a man beats his wife for serving lunch late and his children for playing with friends or watching TV. If a husband seems aimless, can't open a shop or angle a resettlement, the woman will despise him, desert him for another man. Many refugees leave their homes at night and absent-mindedly wander off into the desert, never to be seen again. The others give up looking for them as if they had never been there.
One woman, Sara, told her husband Yayeh, the "good news" that another man would include her on his resettlement papers as his wife and bring their daughter as well. Thinking only about their welfare, Yayeh let them go. But in time his loneliness became unbearable. His daughter's health deteriorated because she could not see her father. Yayeh fled for Nairobi, 500 miles away, so he could make cheaper phone calls to his daughter.
Refugees go insane. They burn their own homes and blame their neighbors, stab themselves and accuse others of ethnic-inspired attacks.
I read about Kakuma in the Boston College Magazine (Spring 2008) which devotes a splendid picture story to a version of Fevissa's longer article in the collection, Refugee Rights: Ethics, Advocacy, and Africa, edited by David Hollenbach, S.J., director of the Boston College Center for Human Rights and International Justice. The Center has sponsored a symposiium on refugee rights and published 13 papers in this collection.
[I have moved my New Jersey Voice to Boston College for the academic year in order to write a book about the Massachusetts Jesuit priest congressman, Robert F. Drinan, S.J., 1970-1980, who was removed from politics by the intervention of Pope John Paul II.]
Hollenbach sums up the ethics of the refugee situation in his first sentence. "There are over thirty-three million refugees and internally displaced people in the world today." They have been driven from their homes by wars. Coerced migration violates their freedom and has forced them to live in situations far short of what human dignity requires. "Such displacement, therefore violates people's most basic rights in multiple ways."
The ethical issues which the essays address are deep and complex, and many are solved by tolerating a lesser evil to achieve a greater good. For example, rebel forces responsible for the refugee crisis infiltrate the camps. Should we cut off or diminish humanitarian aid, some of which will reach the enemy? Is care for refugees the responsibility of charities, church groups, NGO's, philanthropists, or of governments, which is to say, all of us?
Hollenbach and his writers answer that a basic human right demands a response from us all. I wish I had heard that during the past two weeks.
The book can be ordered through the BC bookstore at www.bc.edu/bcm.

We have all felt a sense of distance while traveling afar. Bern Herbolsheimer's Love Letters sets four Tatar lovesongs from just such a traveler. Jaakko Mäntyjärvi's Canticum calamitatis maritimae, written to commemorate the 1994 sinking of a ferry in the Baltic Sea, is an elaborate and dramatic tone-poem for unaccompanied voices. We also highlight some special texts, including a speech by former U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan and words of astronaut Russell Schweickart, as a reminder that we are all journeying together on this planet. Gustav Holst and William Billings tell stories of difficult journeys at sea that nevertheless end happily.

She grew up in the African-American neighborhood of Smithfield, located in west Birmingham and known as Dynamite Hill during the turbulent 60's; a reference to numerous bombings of the homes of civic rights activists in the area. The memories and experiences of that time shaped and guided her to work in areas dealing with social justice issues in her adult life.
Her work includes UAB Center for Aging, Greater Birmingham Habitat for Humanity, Jefferson County AIDS in Minorities, and The Firehouse Shelter for Homeless Men. She became Executive Director of the Alabama Faith Council in April 2008, a statewide coalition of faith leaders and lay leaders who work together on social justice issues facing the people of Alabama, whose needs are the greatest and whose resources in life are the least.
She has served on the Board of Directors of Greater Birmingham Ministries since 1991, having served as Vice President, Secretary, Member of the Faith in Community workgroup and she currently chairs GBM's Constitution Reform Task Force, in an effort to rewrite Alabama's 1901 Constitution. She is also secretary of the Alabama's Citizens for Constitutional Reform (ACCR).
She was ordained in the Episcopal tradition in November 2002 and serves St. Mark's Episcopal Church. Rev. Foster is co-chair the Episcopal Diocese's Commission on Race Relations and is a Certified Anti-Racism Trainer for the Episcopal Church.

Following Robin Williams' death, there has been a near-doubling in calls to the Lines for Life Suicide Lifeline from friends and family members concerned about a loved one's risk for suicide. The Portland organization's surge in calls reflects the national trend this week.
"The rise in phone calls is coming mostly from those who have been concerned about another person for a while and have been prompted to act now," said David Westbrook, former crisis line director, now chief operating officer, at Lines for Life. "This is exactly what we urge people to do – to start a conversation and take action so we can help prevent suicide."
The National Suicide Prevention Lifeline (800-273-TALK) and its national network, including its only Oregon affiliate, Lines for Life, answers more than 1 million calls a year, providing help, hope, support and recovery to callers in emotional distress and suicidal crisis.
On Aug. 10, just one day prior to Robin Williams' death by suicide, Lifeline answered over 3,000 calls. Within 24 hours after his death on Aug. 11, Lifeline's call volume more than doubled.
On Aug. 12, Lifeline received 7,375 calls nationwide, the highest number of calls on one given day in the history of the Lifeline.
Independent evaluations of this service funded by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration have shown that callers to Lifeline's centers typically experience significant reductions in emotional and suicidal distress. As awareness of this vital service grows, more lives are being saved.
Trained to listen and not to judge, the crisis intervention specialists establish rapport with callers and help them reconnect with their reasons for living.
Increased public awareness and actions taken towards suicide prevention is perhaps the one good thing to come out of this tragedy.
Lines for Life's message to the public is "Take action. Call us and we'll help you help them."
The 24/7 phone number for the Lines for Life Suicide Lifeline is (800) 273-TALK (8255)
About Lines for Life: Founded in 1993, Lines for Life is a 501-3c nonprofit organization whose mission is to end substance abuse and suicide. Lines for Life is the region's leading nonprofit organization that promotes healthy communities through drug and alcohol awareness and 24-hour crisis lines for mental health, treatment referral, crisis counseling, and suicide intervention.

Ivan's Health: Two Steps Forward, One Step Back.
Last week I was going to write a note about how I'm feeling so much better — then on Friday I got hit again. Two steps forward, one step back.
So, my apologies about no poem on Friday, but it gives us a good excuse to continue our exploration of women's voices into this week. I hope you enjoy the selections.
2 Responses to "Ivan's Health: Two Steps Forward, One Step Back."
Dear Ivan,
Thank you once again for your lovely offering. 🙂
What moved me to write about this particular poem was your commentary on it; in particular, your comment that: ' "This statement keeps getting mystics in trouble with orthodox religious authorities throughout the centuries. It is the assertion that heaven is not found somewhere 'out there' — not in the future, not after death, not (only) in celestial realms. Heaven is here, now, within us and surrounding us always! And — the most dangerous part of this insight — if we don't discover it here "below," it won't be found elsewhere "above." '
From my perspective as a Pagan Priestess and Witch, that is so very much on point! Part of my training involved learning the "Charge of the Goddess," which includes this section: "Know you that your seeking and yearning will be to no avail, unless you know the Mystery: For if that which you seek, you find not within yourself, you will never find it without. For behold! I have been with you from the beginning, and I am that which is attained at the end of desire."
That old Hermetic maxim just seems to keep popping up everywhere, doesn't it? 😉
I've always felt a certain satisfaction in seeing how certain basic tenets are reflected in so many different belief systems. It serves to remind me of the common ground that we share, regardless of ideology or personal experience.
Okay, there's my two cents for the day.
Be well, Ivan, my thoughts and prayers go with you.
Dear Ivan,
Firstly I would like to send you care and hopes that your health and energies return to a better place for you.
Secondly, thank you so much for your sharing of the Poetry Chaikhana. It has been touching, inspiring, and though provoking. I very much like the personal tone of your subscription e-mails and your interpretations of the poetry. I like that what you perceive you do not state s truth but as observation well back in historical knowledge both of which connect with me well and are convincing to me. I also wanted to let you know that your poetry has helped me in my own spiritual explorations and particular philosophical discussions i have had with people who i respect greatly.
It has been funny how we (the people I am talking with) seem to come upon a topic and are discussing it and communicating the mutual experiences of it and then along comes the poem that has been chosen and it fits and describes what we are talking about to a 'T'. I have also shared some of the poems chosen with those dearest to me and so thank you for sharing a means of expression which I feel deeply within my being and wish to share.
I would also like to say if you have not already read him…though I imagine you have, you may like Thomas Merton.
Be Well and thank you again.

expect year end extra dividend of $1/shr.
I wish WTM wouldn't do that to OB. OB already pays taxes on corporate income. Then when they pay a large special dividend, it is taxed again at the State and Federal level. I'd rather see OB GROW their specialty business, which will increase BV..and increse share price. OB already pays a too rich 6.25% dividend. OB has a good group of niche specialty companies. Grow them and we are better served, IMO. warren Buffet grew his insurance companies fabulously....and increased BV and share price..by reinvesting in the business and not taking double taxed dividends.
Snogsta, T Mike Is no Warren Buffet. Nor Jimmy Buffet.Nothing but a fat buffoon
OB isn't supposed to grow. It's supposed to be looted. That's what it was designed for. You have no idea what you have invested in, and I use the term 'invested' in the most ironic manner conceivable. You should not be allowed to handle your own money and should shut up.
