The 2014 MLB Trade Deadline has come and gone, and the Boston Red Sox have undergone an organizational face-lift unlike any we've seen in recent years.
Gone are Jon Lester, John Lackey, Jake Peavy, Felix Doubront, Andrew Miller and Stephen Drew. Here to stay are Yoenis Cespedes, Allen Craig, Joe Kelly, Kelly Johnson and an influx of close-to-the-majors pitching prospects adding to already impressive depth.
The sweeping changes have led to a much younger, much less defined Red Sox roster moving forward. The deals have created an abundance of opportunity for the Sox's promising prospects, and we're going to see plenty of MLB debuts over the next two months.
While the dust has yet to clear and the organization's path has yet to be fully revealed, it's clear that the Sox want to compete in 2015. With that in mind, it's helpful to look at the prospects most ready to help them achieve that goal and decide who will most help the Red Sox next year.
For this exercise, I'm going to exclude prospects currently playing in the majors. So while Christian Vazquez, Allen Webster and Anthony Ranaudo are still rookie eligible and would all rank here otherwise, I'd prefer to shine some light onto the players who don't have a defined role with the Red Sox right now.
With that caveat out of the way, let's take a look at six names who could play major roles in Boston in 2015.

text: Designer Dossier Ettore Sottsass Adrienne Breaux Sep 10, 2012 Design History Home Share Pin Email Share Pin Email Designer: Ettore Sottsass, 1917 - 2007 From: Born in Innsbruck, Austria but grew up in Milan, Italy. Ettore Sottsass' designs are quite intensely unique, but they're also surprisingly clever, deep and an inspiration for many design movements that came after him. They also happen to be remarkably recognizable due to the incredibly bold, jarring design elements that make his work so fun. Seemingly shallow, Ettore was known for using color, shape and material to create strong emotions in the viewers of his furniture design and architecture. Facts: Sottsass and a group of young architects and designers from various countries banded together in 1981, forming the design collective the Memphis Group. They launched with a collection of 40 pieces of furniture, ceramics, lighting, glass and textiles. Ettore Sottsass started and ran a wildly popular design consulting firm called Sottsass Associati in 1980. Though mainly for architecture, Sottsass Associati rocked a great many things, including designing stores and showrooms for Esprit, identities for Alessi, exhibitions, interiors, consumer electronics and of course, furniture. They continue to work on design and are based out of London and Milan. Credited with making stylish office equipment popular, he designed a great many office-related things like a bright red plastic portable Valentine typewriter in 1969 for Olivetti. Just a few of his clients through the years: Esprit, Knoll International, Serafino Zani and Alessi. Quote: "When I began designing machines I also began to think that these objects, which sit next to each other and around people, can influence not only physical conditions but also emotions. They can touch the nerves, the blood, the muscles, the eyes and the moods of people." Attended: Politecnico di Torino in Turin. Graduated in 1939 with a degree in architecture. Known for: Fluorescent/neon colors. Glossy, slick surfaces. Odd, angled and lop-sided shapes. Laminate patterns with high contrasts and squiggle shapes. Basically the 1980s in furniture/design form. Post-modernism design and arts to the max. Powerful architecture. Industrial design.

Congratulations to Mariya Manuel who was awarded the Jean Faye Leimomi Rodenhurst Award, Club Wahine Character Traits to Live By Award for the 2015-16 season. Mariya received a beautiful glass plaque along with a $500.00 scholarship to be used towards her college education at Loyola Marymount University.
I would like to take this opportunity to wish all of our Mothers in our Club Wahine Ohana (Family) a very Happy Mother's Day. I believe Mother's Day is very important. It is the one day that each family should take the opportunity to recognize their core and foundation which is the role of Mother. Personally, I lost my mother at 4 years old and never remembered her growing up. Luckily for me, my Father filled the void in my life serving as both a Father and Mother to me and my brothers. When I got married to Jean and she gave birth to our son Aaron, I got to live and see how very important the role of the Mother was to our family. Jean really loved the role of Mother and was truly the core for us. Watching Jean, I learned through the years that Mothers had unconditional love for their family.
Through our 42 ½ years of marriage, Mother's Day was very important to our family. My son Aaron and I looked forward each year to fully devote, to honor, to recognize, and to say thank you to Jean for all the love, work, and devotion she showed to us daily and in keeping our family together. My son Aaron and I will continue that family tradition this Sunday by visiting the cemetery and placing flowers on Jean's crypt and to say thank you.
When we started Club Wahine 24 years ago, Jean and I made a decision to not schedule any of our volleyball teams into club tournaments on Mother's Day. We felt it was very important for our Mothers to have their "one" Sunday away from volleyball and for our volleyball players to use this special day to recognize everything Mothers do for them.
To all of our Club Wahine Mothers, Happy Mother's Day! May you all be blessed with continued happiness and good health!
Glenn K. Rodenhurst
Director, Club Wahine

text: I am in the process of purchasing a foreclosed home that has a water and mold problem in the crawlspace. The bank that I am buying the property from is taking care of the mold issue, which resulted from a broken sump pump and the house being vacant for 3 months. I would like to install my own drainage system with a sump pit and some kind of french drain system, but I am not very familiar with either. The crawl space is about 700 sq ft, and is a dirt floor with the sump pump situated in the center. I would like to do the work myself, and if anyone has any helpful tips it would greatly be appreciated.

Need to pick two of these four:
Maurice Jones-Drew @Ten
Ricky Williams @NYJ
Ray Rice vs. Den
Steven Jackson @Det
2 replies , Last at 01 Nov 2009, 10:53am by Fontes of Wayne
Hm, that's a tough one. I'd rank them SJax, Rice, MJD, and Ricky, mostly in order of increasing risk. I don't think SJax has scored less than 11 points in any week so far, and if he's ever going to find the end zone, this is the week. Rice does not have a great matchup, but he's sure to play all day long. That's not quite the case for MJD, who might not be emphasized in a pass-heavy game plan. Ricky could go off any week, but I think usually he scores under 10 points, and he's the only definite #2 on your list.
Given the matchups, MJD and SJax seem like must-starts here. You risk serious second-half carries going to MJD's backup (Rashard Jennings?), but he's in line for a big day.
It's tough to recommend sitting Rice, or Ricky, but I kind of wonder if it matters. Four top-10 backs is a good problem to have, not least because it means your opponents are less likely to have the horses to keep up.

"Nothing is currently more important to the Merchant Venturers than seeing Bristol's education system become one associated with high levels of achievement…" – Peter Rilett, Chairman of the Venturers' TrustCommittee
The Venturers' Trust
The Society of Merchant Venturers is delighted to announce the launch of The Venturers' Trust, an umbrella trust set up to provide further opportunities for our schools and other prospective schools & pupils in the greater Bristol area.
Merchants' Schools
For many years the Merchants' contribution to local education focused on the Society's two schools, Colston's School (Upper and Lower) and Colston's Girls' School.
The decision to sponsor one of the first Academies in Bristol through the conversion of Withywood Community School into Merchants' Academy in 2008 was a watershed for the Society, changing the course and ambition for its involvement in local education. An initial capital commitment of £2million was made by the Society of Merchant Venturers for the new Academy and since then the Merchants have continued to provide significant additional ongoing support to all aspects of Academy life. In addition, and as co-sponsor, the University of Bristol also invest a considerable amount of time and energy in providing support to the Academy, its pupils and staff.
A further transformational decision by the Society was to make Colston's Girls' School an Academy, also in 2008. Significantly overscribed, Colston's Girls' School has become one of the nation's most successful Academies, with its pupil numbers increasing from under 400 to over 800 and recording the best GCSE results for a non selective school in the South West.
The next step has been to expand the Merchants' involvement in Primary education, taking into the fold five more Primary schools. First came Gay Elms in Withywood, which joined Merchants' Academy making it an all through school. Then, as part of Colston's Girls' School Trust, came Dolphin School and St Anne's Primary School (renamed Kingfisher School) and, in 2015, Fairlawn Primary Academy will open its doors to new pupils and Bannerman Road Community Academy will join the Trust.
In addition, the Society is immensely proud of its continuing close association with Colston's School in Stapleton. Now over 300-years-old, it is a successful independent school that provides a broadly-based and rich education to over 700 pupils from 4-18.
The latest addition to the Merchant Venturers' family of schools will be Venturers' Academy, opening in September 2016 and catering for 84 children aged from 4-16. It will meet increasing demand for high-quality specialist autism provision from across Bristol and the surrounding area.
The Merchants' Roots in Education
The Merchant Venturers have been involved in education in Bristol for at least 400 years — archival records show that they were running a school for the children of mariners as early as 1595. This grew into the Bristol Trade School in the 18th century, which subsequently became the Merchant Venturers' School and later the Merchant Venturers' Technical College.
When Bristol University was granted its Charter in 1909 the engineering department of the Technical College became the University's Faculty of Engineering. Meanwhile, the Technical College became Bristol Polytechnic, the precursor of the University of the West of England.
In 1708 Edward Colston founded Colston's School and endowed it, appointing the Merchant Venturers as managers of the endowment.
In 1891 Colston's Girls' School was created under the auspices of the same foundation. One hundred years later in 1991 Colston's School became co-educational through its merger with the Collegiate School, Winterbourne.
The Merchant Venturers' commitment to see a step change in the quality of secondary education in Bristol is reflected in its more recent involvement in supporting the maintained sector. This has culminated in the formation of The Venturers' Trust in 2015 which has enhanced the opportunities for its member schools, whilst also providing an umbrella organisation for other schools to join.

South Australian schools warned as incidence of cyber bullying of teachers skyrockets
- From: adelaidenow
- September 20, 2012
- Have your say: How should teachers fight online bullying?
A NEW breed of cyber bully is attacking school teachers, flooding social media sites with false rumours and intimidation.
South Australia's Education Department has issued a memo to the state's 555 public schools detailing the problem.
The memo warns numerous schools have found Facebook pages, with official school logos and names, that contain rumours and other damaging material.
An estimated one in eight teachers has experienced online harassment and almost a third of perpetrators are believed to be parents.
The memo, obtained by News Limited, shows a surge in the number of cases where "false rumours are being spread about staff members" and school reputations tarnished.
It states the sites may have been established by students and recommends principals contact police if they believe a crime, such as sexting, defamation or impersonation, has been committed.
The warning comes on the back of a survey of more than 1200 teachers which found that more than 12 per cent have experienced online bullying, threats and harassment.
Of these, 16 per cent have reported the incidents to police.
The Australian Education Union SA branch survey found 40 per cent of perpetrators were students and 32 per cent were parents.
News Ltd uncovered dozens of incidents of teachers being criticised or bullied on the controversial ratemyteachers.com website, including teachers being branded "pedos" and "moles".
SA Education Minister Grace Portolesi said the state's teachers deserved better.
"I am disappointed to see such sites exist. However, I believe the vast majority of South Australians recognise and value the important work that teachers do," she said.
School heads have branded the increase in Facebook "meme" bullying virtually impossible to regulate, and "vicious and nasty". A meme is a picture teamed with a comical or offensive caption.
SA Primary Principals Association president Steve Portlock called for the department to act swiftly to publicly inform school communities cyber bullying was inappropriate. He called for a clearer cyber bullying policy for teachers and principals.
Australian Education Union state president Correna Haythorpe said teachers had raised concerns about threatening or abusive comments on social networking sites.
"These comments can actually damage a person's professional reputation and career," she said. "Questions need to be asked about when it becomes defamation and when it becomes an e-crime."
Ms Haythorpe said that, under the Education Act, anyone who behaved in an offensive or insulting manner to a teacher could be fined up to $500. But she labelled the amount "trifling" when abuse was defamatory and therefore a criminal offence.
An SA Police spokesman said: "People who use the internet as a medium through which to commit offences are ultimately charged with whatever the appropriate offence is, such as deception or theft." In most cases, the matters were dealt with by schools, police said.
A Secondary Principals Association president Jan Paterson said cyber bullying was difficult to control.
"Schools in some instances have managed to (control it) by finding out who the student was that began (the bullying)," Ms Paterson said.
Association of Independent Schools of SA executive director Garry Le Duff said he had "great concerns" about the issue. Independent schools will hold a workshop on social media in the next month.
What victims can do
* Always take a screen capture and save them all to a file to use in case they need to be followed up.
* You can seek support from the Department of Education's Child and Student Wellbeing unit.
* Consider reporting the matter to police.

Recent peer-reviewed studies, done by atmospheric scientists Alan Robock (Rutgers), Brian Toon (University of Colorado-Boulder), Richard Turco (UCLA) and colleagues, predict that even a relatively "limited" nuclear war between India and Pakistan, in which each side uses 50 Hiroshima-sized nuclear weapons against the other's cities, could create immense firestorms that would quickly surround the planet with a dense stratospheric smoke layer.

Re Elect No One!
Stop Repeat Offenders: Don't re elect them.
This is what American Politics looks like today. Is this what we want?
Politics is BROKEN, not just in Washington but in each state of this nation.
There is an understanding that insanity can be defined as repeating the same action over and over while expecting different results. This has never been more true than in politics and elections.
The average elected official will run for re-election at the expiration of each term in office (unless term limits apply). Their chances of re election are about 90% which seems strange when the voters continue to complain that politicians and politics is broken and corrupted. Is it not insane to complain then continue to re elect the same people to office?
Let's talk alternatives !

OSHA News Release – Region 5
U.S. Department of Labor
Region 5 News Release USDL 04-1819-CHI
Oct. 4, 2004
Contact: Brad Mitchell
(312) 353-6976
CHICAGO -- The U.S. Labor Department's Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has issued citations and proposed penalties to Durable, Inc., 750 Northgate Parkway, Wheeling, Ill., for a variety of workplace safety violations that pose a threat to workers.
"Strong enforcement is a key part of this Administration's efforts to reduce workplace injuries and illnesses," said U.S. Secretary of Labor Elaine L. Chao. "The significant penalty of $114,300 in this case demonstrates our commitment to protecting the health and safety of American workers."
The penalty and OSHA citations are based on an inspection initiated in April 2004, following a complaint about hazards at the metal container manufacturing plant. The inspection revealed that workers faced the possibility of amputations and other serious injuries as a result of violations of workplace safety regulations.
Specifically, OSHA issued citations for 16 alleged serious violations and one alleged willful violation of federal workplace safety and health regulations. Serious violations included allegations of a wide range of hazards associated with machine guarding and accidental operation, as well as the lack of specific training. The alleged willful violation charged the company with failing to provide training so that employees fully understood the function and purpose of the energy control program.
The company has 15 working days from receipt of the citations to appeal before the independent Occupational Safety and Health Review Commission.
In fiscal year 2003, OSHA conducted almost 40,000 inspections, an increase of more than 2,000 inspections over FY 2002 levels; more than half focused on high-hazard industries. OSHA's role is to assure the safety and health of America's workers by setting and enforcing standards; providing training, outreach, and education; establishing partnerships; and encouraging continual improvement in workplace safety and health. For more information, visit www.osha.gov.
U.S. Labor Department releases are accessible on the Internet at http://www.dol.gov. The information in this news release will be made available in alternate format upon request (large print, Braille, audio tape or disc) from the COAST office. Please specify which news release when placing your request at (202) 693-7765 or TTY (202) 693-7755. The U.S. Department of Labor is committed to providing America's employers and employees with easy access to understandable information on how to comply with its laws and regulations.

Can someone please clarify join A? I'm getting lost.

A is the contrasting color if you use 2 different colors of yarn. You can use all one color if you wish. In the photo, A would be white. I hope this helps.

I thought this pattern would be idea for a beginner student of mine to do. However, I found several mistakes in it plus, the big fact is that there is no directions to close the instep. I did not realize this when I passed the patten on to my student. The poor woman was practically in tears because she thought she was doing it wrong and kept ripping and starting over again. Last time I pass on a pattern before i crochet it myself. Very unhappy.

Help! I'm looking for a baby bootie pattern that is very small size. It will be used as a baby shower favor. I'm having a hard time copying the pattern for the very small bootie I have, and so I'm seeking a pattern for it. Total size in length is 3 inches or less. Maybe you could call it preemie size, I hope that doesn't offend anyone.

This is exciting news for Washington State University football fans because during the season some Coug fans have to book rooms as far away as Spokane when they come into town for a game. Hilltop Inn owner Barb Wachter said that the improved hotel will be her and her husband's legacy in Pullman.
"We've lived here fifty years and the exciting part for us is that this is a family-owned business and it's going to be here forever," said Wachter.
With the addition, the Hilltop Inn will have 115 rooms. According to the developer, construction is on schedule and it should be completed by March 15th. The remodeling of the old hotel will be finished in a month, and guests will be able to stay in the new rooms starting April 1st. On top of that, WSU is in the process of building a new 131-room hotel right on campus.

The Greenery Nursery in Turlock is inviting the community to dine among their colorful array of flowers, plants and trees, all for a good cause. The Greenery's first Farm to Fork Harvest Dinner will feature a meal made from locally sourced ingredients, supporting the area's farmers and local nonprofit Jessica's House while bringing Turlockers together.
Growing up in Denair, Emily Wynn had an early interest in live theatre and earned her college degree in business administration, so it may have seemed odd to her that she was making her living earlier this year by riding around in ambulances.
Turlock residents who are used to driving six to 10 hours every day to get to their jobs in the Bay Area and back now have another transportation option - the Stanislaus Regional Transit commuter bus.
For 63 years, the Turlock Steppin Pards have do-si-do'd around the city, keeping the American tradition of square dancing alive through exciting dance steps and fun outfits. The square dance club meets weekly to practice their calls and dancing, and is inviting the community to join them with new lessons beginning in September.
The San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District and Valley Clean Air Now will host a Tune In and Tune Up car clean-up event at the Stanislaus County Fairgrounds from 8 a.m. to noon Saturday.

The teen birth rate in California and in Stanislaus County continue to decline, according to recent data from the California Department of Public Health.
Growing up, Brooklyn Lowery never envisioned herself as a pageant queen.

Now, Lowery has been selected to represent her hometown of Denair in the upcoming Miss California USA pageant.
We Care in Turlock has been awarded a state grant that will allow the organization to open the emergency shelter earlier and stay open longer than in previous years.
With more cases of the Zika virus being confirmed as locally transmitted in Florida and travelers returning home from the Olympics, the California Department of Public Health is urging residents to take precautions upon return to help prevent the spread of the virus in California. While the virus is primarily transmitted by Aedes mosquitoes, it can also pass from one person to another during sex.
A newly awarded grant from the Department of Homeland Security will help the Turlock Fire Department train and prepare for emergencies that might arise in the expanding retail and industrial developments in the city.
Downtown Turlock shoppers bid farewell to summer trends at the End of Summer Sale as 11 Main Street merchants rid themselves of summer inventory in preparation for fall.

Barack Obama has bowed to the Saudi king, reached out to Muslims in speeches and, now, apologized profusely for the burning. Our president's middle name is even Hussein, and he was born to a Muslim father.
Yet, none of that has tamped down the unmitigated fury among the Afghans, who've rioted for days and even killed a couple of U.S. troops.
U.S. officials reportedly burned the Qurans from a detention center library because, officials said, the prisoners were using them to pass notes to each other.
Some of the overreaction is no doubt trumped up by Taliban elements looking to either sabotage peace talks or to gain an advantage in them. But regardless of what percentage of the angst is genuine and how much is being staged for effect, it's yet another sign of trouble – similar to the deadly riots caused by the mere notion of a Florida pastor burning Qurans.
It makes you wonder what kind of coexistence is possible when a culture is that trigger-happy and prone to murderous lashing out. The U.S. troops' insensitivity in this particular case is regrettable, but hardly worthy of the death penalty.
Sensitivity is a two-way street, don't you think?
