This week we welcome featured guest, Lori Widmer, of Words on the Page. We're giving away three copies of Lori's e-book for freelance writers, Marketing 365: Daily Strategies for Entrepreneurs and Small Business.
In her e-book, Lori shares a collection of marketing tips that will help you promote your freelance writing business in new, and often simple, ways every day of the year. If you're unsure of where to start when it comes to freelance marketing, you need this e-book.
This week, you have a chance to win a copy! But first, Lori was gracious enough to share an excerpt with us. So let's dive right into a few easy freelance marketing ideas you might not have tried yet.
Excerpt from Marketing 365
194. Invite them formally.
Make an impact with a written invitation. Use a formal invitation to invite your customers in for a consultation, to invite them to your seminar, or to invite them to give you feedback.
Ask for an RSVP. You'll be able to see what messages are getting through, which will help you measure and tweak future marketing messages.
195. Send printed coupons.
Who doesn't love a coupon? Any offer you send will have a stronger impact and more response if you include a paper coupon. Our minds are wired to react more positively to a coupon, which suggests money off, a discount, or a price that can't be matched.
Offer your discount on paper. Include an expiration date boldly displayed to increase urgency.
196. Create a new client welcome kit.
What a way to welcome your client! Build a welcome kit for new customers and clients that includes things like frequently asked questions, what to expect from your product or service, and business cards and brochures that give even more detail. Tailor your welcome kit to fit the customer. For example, you won't want to hand welcome kits to your restaurant customers, but you could deliver a special offer with their receipt that takes them to your website where you can include the FAQ and other information not printed on the menus.
In your kit, be sure to include a discount coupon for their next purchase.

Thanks, Jenn! I appreciate being part of this amazing place you've built. Eager to see who wins!
the only trick is to actually use the book 😉
Amen, Anne. Consistently, too. 🙂
It's a great book, well worth winning!
Thanks, Sharon. 🙂
I have had the most success with "warm" emails. That means contacting referrals, colleagues-of-colleagues, or even people I have read about in my city's weekly Biz Journal and citing an accomplishment. I'd love to get a little more creative with things, if only out of sheer boredom of sending emails, LOL.
Cool advice, Prudence! I like your approach.
Thanks for doing this…
My best tactic for generating clients in my niche has been commenting on niche blogs in a way that people realize I write about the topic.
An example:
An article about making extra money for the purchase of XYZ
My comment: I take a percentage of the money I get for writing about XYZ and set it aside so I can put it toward more XYZ.
This has worked more than once.
Fantastic idea, Randy! Do you target specific blogs, as well?
I enjoyed this excerpt, Lori. I especially like your tip #196. I've heard of creating a client welcome kit but haven't followed through yet.
I think the marketing tactic that I would like to try but haven't yet is guest blogging. I'm not sure what's holding me back – probably fear in one of its many disguises.
Hey, Val! Good seeing you here.
Consider a guest blog just an extension of your own blog writing. Write for yourself and your regular readers first. It's just that more than your regulars will see it. 🙂

Two Brooklyn drivers who duked it out in the left lane of Staten Island's West Shore Expressway Wednesday morning each pleaded not guilty during their arraignment yesterday.
One man, Jack Zaiback, 23, arrived in Stapleton Criminal Court with a stitched semi-circle cut on his forehead and slashes on his nose, left ear and left cheek. He also had wounds to his body.
His alleged knife-wielding attacker, sushi chef Yao Zhou, 35, sported a cut over his right eye. Zaiback had apparently fought back with closed fists, punching Zhou about the face.
Both are charged with first-degree assault.
Bail for Zhou was set at $20,000 and Zaiback was released on his own recognizance.

Sick and tired of his son playing video games and not listening to him, a father in China decided to take matters into his own hands… well, sort of. Instead of sending his son off to addiction camp or stripping him of internet and gaming rights, Mr Feng (冯先生) chose to hire an online "hitman" to school his son.
Feng's 23-year-old son, "Xiao Feng" (小冯) started playing video games in high school. Through his years of playing various online games, he supposedly thought himself a master of Chinese online role playing games. According to his father, Xiao Feng had terrible grades in school because of his gaming habit; he couldn't even land a job. He, however, says he simply couldn't find any work that he liked. Feng was annoyed that his son couldn't even tough it out for three months at a software development company.
Unhappy with his son not finding a job, Feng decided to hire players in his son's favourite online games to hunt down Xiao Feng. It is unknown where or how Feng found the in-game assassins — every one of the players he hired were stronger and at a higher level than Xiao Feng. Feng's idea was that his son would get bored of playing games if he was killed every time he logged on, and that he would start putting more effort into getting a job.
Despite being sick of getting killed every time, Xiao Feng decided to stick up to his father and tell him how he felt. He was quoted as saying, "I can play or I can not play, it doesn't bother me. I'm not looking for any job — I want to take some time to find one that suits me."
Hearing his son's earnest plea, Feng said that he was "relieved". It's unsure if Feng has called off his assassins or if Xiao Feng has found a job. One thing's for sure; Feng's way of deterring his son from playing games might be one of the best ideas to come out of China recently, particularly as reactions to "gaming and internet addiction" have been very extreme.

It's Stalking Awareness month…be safe
In honor of Stalking Awareness Month this January, I thought I'd post an excerpt from my book, Internet Dating 101. This subject is about Facebook stalking, in particular, and how to avoid stalking your object of affection's page…on the sly, that is. Let the healing begin!
First off, I know it's hard, but please try to ex- ercise some willpower. Limit your 'casual' checks to one quick scan per day. Try not to read too much into everything he writes, and don't assume ev- erything is about you. If you're in the initial stages of dating, remember that he is allowed to see other women until you've made it exclusive, as you're allowed to see other men. Don't freak.
If there are those of you who have admirably restrained from even glancing at his page, but are seduced into taking a peek when he comes up in your news feed, here's yet another trick: you can unsubscribe from him! Yes, it's true. All you need to do is go to his page (one last time, ladies, one last time) and click on the "subscribe" button, changing it to "unsubscribe." It's that simple.
Next, for your own security, put him on a lim- ited profile setting so that he can only see some of the shenanigans you've been up to. That said, be- cause of the new security settings, you now have the ability to censor what he sees, so be vigilant about it. If you're going to play the game while us- ing social media, you might as well play it smart.
This goes for photos, too. You might (and by "might" I mean should) want to go back and keep him from seeing certain albums. You don't want to give any guy that you're serious about dating the idea that you're a good-time girl, that you have a problem with alcohol or can't seem to stop sticking your tongue down the throats of strange men. Then again, if you're constantly making out with random guys, you have other things to worry about than what one dude thinks of your Facebook profile. Just saying.

While the NFL world focuses on the final controversial call of the game, in which Jay Cutler's fumble was the center of attention, there was another play much earlier in the game also caused waves.
From my post on Sunday:
On San Diego's second offensive play, Chargers receiver Chris Chambers and Denver cornerback Champ Bailey were entangled at the San Diego 29 as they battled for a Philip Rivers' pass. Bailey emerged from the turf and ran into the end zone with the ball.
The ruling on the field was that Bailey intercepted the ball and he was downed at the 29 by Chambers. San Diego challenged the play, arguing that Bailey did not cleanly catch the ball.
After a short delay, head referee Ed Hochuli announced that the replay equipment was not working and there would be a two-minute window to correct the problem.
Thanks to a question in my mailbag this morning from a reader in San Diego, I found out some interesting information. The reader wanted to know who is responsible for the maintenance of the replay machine, the NFL or the home team? The home team is responsible for some equipment so this is a fine, valid question.
According to a league spokesman, the league is responsible for hiring the technicians who run the replay machine. So there you have it. There was no funny business going on.
However, there were plenty of controversial issues. I have a feeling there will be more reaction to this story. I will give updates when warranted.

Results tagged ' Adam Dunn '
D-Rob & Yanks come off the deck
If there is one thing David Robertson learned from Mariano Rivera about the closer's role it is that you cannot dwell on blown saves. They are a hazard of the profession and while fans will agonize over squandered saves the closer cannot. It is a job like housekeeping in that people do not notice it as much unless you do not do it.
The daily grind of the baseball schedule demands that players turn the page, particularly closers. Like his predecessor, Robertson wanted another save opportunity the very next day after he gave up a game-winning, two-run home run to White Sox first baseman Adam Dunn in the bottom of the ninth inning Friday night. D-Rob got that chance Saturday after the Yankees came off the deck and scored three runs in the ninth inning against Chicago to tie the score and went ahead in the 10th on a home run by Jacoby Ellsbury with two out.
Robertson preserved the Yankees' lead this time as he has done now in 10 of 11 save chances. He struck out the side. The third strikeout came after pesky Adam Eaton (8-for-14 in the series) singled with two out and stole second. So getting Gordon Beckham looking to end the game was a pressurized situation for Robertson.
This was a game the Yankees needed desperately. For the second straight day, the club that took a 3-0 lead in the first inning did not go on to win. The Yankees had the first-inning lead Friday night on Brian McCann's three-run homer, but Hiroki Kuroda couldn't hold it. The Yanks went in front again by a run with two runs in the seventh, but Robertson's blown save cost them.
Saturday, the White Sox scored three runs in the first off Vidal Nuno, who tightened after that and pitched into the eighth without allowing another run. Yankees bats remained cold, however, as they had only one hit through seven innings and three through eight against lefthander John Danks. Now it would be the White Sox closer who would blow the save.
With two out and a runner on first base, the Yanks erupted for three runs off righthander Ronald Belisario, who nearly blew a save to them two nights ago when he gave up two runs in the ninth but held on to nail down a 3-2 White Sox victory. A double by Alfonso Soriano got one run in, and singles by Yangervis Solarte and McCann as a pinch hitter delivered two more. It marked the second time on the Chicago trip that the Yankees tied the score in the ninth after being shut out for eight innings and went on to win in extras. They came from behind to beat the Cubs, 4-2, in 13 innings Wednesday at Wrigley Field.
Ellsbury, who had started the ninth-inning rally with a single, came through with the 10th-inning homer off righthander Zach Putnam. Ellsbury looked as if he might be coming out of a prolonged slump with a couple of extra-inning hits at Wrigley, but he then went 0-for-11 at U.S. Cellular Field before his ninth-inning single. The center fielder was batting .348 as late as May 3 but is now down to .263. Maybe the game-winning homer is just what he needs to get hot again.
It certainly was what the Yankees needed on what was turning into a brutal trip. Now they have a shot at squaring the season Sunday behind Masahiro Tanaka and take some momentum into St. Louis Monday for the start of what will be their last inter-league series of the regular season.
No sale for Yanks against Sale
Zoilo Almonte may not have realized it, but his single with two out in the sixth inning Thursday night off Chris Sale took pressure off opposing manager Robin Ventura. Before that at-bat, Sale was working on a perfect game as the 6-foot-6 lefthander continued his dominance over the Yankees.
Where Ventura comes in is that Sale was on a strict pitch count. He was making his first start after coming off the disabled list and a left arm flexor injury. The White Sox skipper was likely relieved when Almonte poked his single into center field. Sale kept the shutout in place by striking out Jacoby Ellsbury to end the inning and as it turned out his outing.
Any temptation Ventura might have had in sending Sale out there to keep a perfecto in place went out the window at that point. It reminded me of that game in Oakland in 1996 when David Cone had a no-hitter through seven innings in his first start after coming back from an aneurysm.
Manager Joe Torre refused to risk Cone's health to let him continue the no-no and took him out. The Athletics broke up the no-hitter in the eighth, but the Yankees held on to win the game. Torre did the right thing, and I think Ventura would have done the same but did not have to face the question.
Chris Sale (naplenews.com)
Sale was as unhittable as a pitcher can be. While on rehab at Triple A, he faced 12 batters and struck out 11. Sale treated the Yankees pretty much the same. Other than Almonte's hit, only one other batted ball off him went to the outfield, not that there were all that many batted balls. Sale had 10 strikeouts and got seven other outs in the infield.
Sadly, the Yankees are getting used to this type of treatment from Sale. His earned run average in eight career appearances against them is 0.85 with a 3-0 record and 40 strikeouts in 31 2/3 innings. Sale has been even tougher in his five games against them at U.S. Cellular Field where he is 3-0 with a 0.38 ERA and 33 K's in 23 2/3 innings while holding them to a .125 batting average in 80 at-bats.
For the second straight game, the Yankees came up with a two-run rally in the ninth after being scoreless for eight innings, but this time it only cut the deficit to one run instead of tying the game and sending it into extra innings where they won in the 13th.
A two-out, two-run single by Mark Teixeira off Chicago closer Ronald Belisario got the Yanks on the board finally, but Alfonso Soriano was called out on strikes to leave them one run short.
It was a tough loss for David Phelps to absorb. The righthander gave the weary bullpen a break by going seven innings in an efficient 104 pitches. He gave up two runs in the second after two out on successive doubles by Paul Konerko and Alejandro De Aza and a single by Adam Eaton. Phelps retired the final 10 batters he faced from the fourth through the seventh.
Alfredo Aceves pitched the eighth and gave up what proved an important run for the White Sox. After getting two infield outs following a leadoff double by Gordon Beckham, Aceves yielded a single to Adam Dunn for that valuable third run.
The Yankees have now gone 25 innings without an extra-base hit, a power outage of epidemic proportion.
Mo's blown save costs CC a needed victory
It was not classic CC Sabathia Wednesday night, not Cy Young Award winning Sabathia. But it was not chronic CC Sabathia, the what's-going-on pitcher we have watched over the past month, either. Yet if ever there was a time to see Sabathia approach the pitcher Yankees fans have come to know and love, it was at the end of this disappointing trip.
After four consecutive starts in which he allowed more than five runs (seven or more in three of them), Sabathia limited the damage to three runs in 7 1/3 innings. The Yankees gave him a quick lead of 2-0 in the first inning on a two-run home run by Alfonso Soriano and pushed it to 4-0 in the fourth on Eduardo Nunez's first home run of the season.
CC has had a nasty habit of giving up leads this year, and while the White Sox came close when Sabathia departed the game the Yankees' advantage was still intact albeit down to one run. It was Mariano Rivera of all people who would give up the lead in the ninth for only his third blown save in 38 opportunities this year.
That cost Sabathia the chance to even his record at 10-10. He gave up his 25th home run of the season, a solo shot in the fifth inning to Gordon Beckham, who had a strong series. CC seemed to tire in the seventh although his pitch count was manageable (86 for the game). He allowed three straight hits at the start of the seventh that made the score 4-3.
The Yankees could have supplied more support offensively but had another poor night hitting with runners in scoring position. They were 1-for-13 in the clutch during regulation as they stranded 10 base runners, eight in scoring position.
Beckham, who was 6-for-12 (.500) with two doubles, one home run and two RBI in the series, was behind Chicago's comeback. After Rivera got the first two outs on harmless fly balls, Beckham lined a double to right-center. Mo got two quick strikes past pinch hitter Adam Dunn before the slugger punched a single past a diving Alex Rodriguez at third base and into left field for a single that scored Beckham with the tying run.
Another hard-luck loss for Kuroda
What more could be asked of Hiroki Kuroda? He has been the Yankees' best starting pitcher this year and deserves a better record than 10-7, which it fell to Tuesday night after losing yet another close game. This time, it was 3-2 to the White Sox, who ended a 10-game losing streak Monday night and did something Tuesday night that the Yankees have not done since July 11 and 12 – win two games in a row.
The Yankees have lost 13 of 19 games since then and are averaging merely 2.94 runs per game in that stretch. That leaves a tiny margin for error for pitchers, even one such as Kuroda who has a 2.45 ERA. The Yankees have failed to score three runs in 10 of his 23 starts.
White Sox starter Chris Sale knows all about lack of run support. The 2.47 runs per start he has gotten is the poorest in the major leagues. The lefthander pitched into the eighth inning and got the victory to improve his record to 7-11 despite a 2.83 ERA. This was only his second victory in 12 starts since May 17. He was a bit erratic (four walks, one hit batter). The only run he allowed came on a two-base wild pitch in the first inning. Alfonso Soriano, who scored on that wild pitch, had a good night with a single and two fine defensive plays in left field. The Yankees did not get another run until the ninth on a two-out single by Brett Gardner.
In any one-run loss, a missed scoring opportunity becomes magnified, and that was the case in the third when Gardner was thrown out at the plate on an errant call by plate umpire Alan Porter. Had Gardner slid instead of trying to score standing up, would Porter have made a different ruling? We'll never know.
The White Sox got all their runs off Kuroda after two were out. Conor Gillaspie singled home Adam Dunn from second base in the fourth inning that tied the score. A wild pitch by Kuroda put Dunn in scoring position. Paul Konerko, one of the slowest runners in the league, averted an around-the-horn double play in the sixth as the go-ahead run scored. Alejandro De Aza won an eight-pitch at-bat in the seventh and doubled in what proved the deciding run.
The Yankees dropped to 2-5 on the trip and have gone eight series without winning one. Since they last won a series July 5-7 against the Orioles at Yankee Stadium, the Yankees have lost five series and split three.
Derek and the new kids on the block
We tend to think of Derek Jeter as a perennial kid. His enthusiasm for the game is infectious. But there is no changing the clock. The Captain is 38 years old, which is twice the age of one of the two baseball phenoms who have entered the major leagues this year, outfielders Mike Trout of the Angels and Bryce Harper of the Nationals.
Both were on display Tuesday night in Kansas City at the All-Star Game where few teenagers have had the opportunity to compete. Trout was at Yankee Stadium Friday night with the Angels for the start of a three-game, weekend series and invoked Jeter several times in talking about his "homecoming." The New Jersey native visited the old Yankee Stadium as a youngster, but this marked his first time playing on the Bronx patch.
"I was a shortstop and always batted leadoff," said Trout, who still bats leadoff but now plays center field. "I patterned myself after Jeter, the way he goes about his business and always hustling. I'm the same way. I think that's the only way to play the game."
Jeter has now reached the point where he was the role model for players coming into the game. It started six years ago with the arrival of Rockies shortstop Troy Tulowitzki, who proudly wears No. 2 in honor of Jeter.
Trout noted that he was befriended by Jeter at the All-Star Game. While taking batting practice, he turned to the side and saw Jeter and White Sox designated hitter Adam Dunn looking at him and making a gesture with their hands over their hearts.
"It was their way of wondering if I was nervous," Trout said. "I was, but they helped calm me down."
Trout has something else in common with Jeter. He is a winner. The Angels got off to a 6-14 start that cost hitting coach Mickey Hatcher his job. Since Trout was called up from Triple A and installed in the Los Angeles lineup, the Angels have gone 42-24 entering play Friday night.
CC gets August off to great start
In his previous start, CC Sabathia flirted with a perfect game. He was nowhere near as sharp Monday night but gave a lesson in quality major-league pitching with eight serviceable innings and gave the Yankees a positive start to the seven-game road trip in a 3-2 victory over the White Sox.
Sabathia needed such a performance because after the first inning Chicago starter Jake Peavy, who has struggled with injuries in recent years, was just as stingy. The Yankees got to him in the first on an run-scoring double by Curtis Granderson, who scored one out later on an infield hit by Robinson Cano.
Granderson, a Chicago native with lots of friends and relatives in the stands, doubled again in the third and scored his major-league leading 96th run as Cano grounded into a double play. That would be it for the Yankees against Peavy, who pitched through seven before lefthander Chris Sale added two more scoreless innings.
But Sabathia made the early runs stand up. The White Sox had 10 hits off CC in eight innings, but only one was damaging. Sabathia hung a changeup to Alexei Ramirez, the young shortstop, who drove the ball to left for a two-run home run in the fourth.
Sabathia did not walk a batter, had six strikeouts and was aided by three double plays. It also helped that Adam Dunn, the free-agent bust who is having an unbelievably bad season, came up in critical situations and had no chance against CC.
Dunn was 0-for-4 with three strikeouts as his average slid to .162. He left a runner at second base when he struck out in the sixth and another on first base when he went down on strikes in the eighth. White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen was forced to use Dunn at first base against a left-handed pitcher because Paul Konerko was unable to play due to a bruised left knee, which was hit by a pitch Sunday. Dunn has three hits in 77 at-bats against lefties this year. That's an average of .039.
Mariano Rivera finished it off with as emphatic a save (No. 28) as a pitcher can have. Mo retired the side in order on nine pitches, all strikes.
Sabathia's numbers just keep growing. His record is 16-5 with a 2.55 ERA. In 15 starts since May 19, CC is 13-2 with a 2.08 ERA. He improved his career mark against the White Sox to 18-4 with a 3.63 ERA, including 9-1 with a 3.33 ERA at U.S. Cellular Field. His career record in the month of August is 39-10 with a 3.12 ERA. Over the past seven seasons, his August record is an astonishing 26-3 with a 2.36 ERA.
If not for the Red Sox, Sabathia could collect the American League Cy Young Award right now. Against Boston this year, CC is 0-3 with a 6.16 ERA. Against everyone else, he is 16-2 with a 2.11 ERA. Sabathia has a chance to improve that with his next start Saturday at Fenway Park.
Yanks' August tune: 'On the road again'
The Yankees came roaring out of July with victories in their last three games and six in eight to finish the month 16-11, increasing their major-league record for consecutive winnings Julys to 19.
To do as well in August, however, the Yankees will have to be road warriors. The schedule bites them this month as the Yankees will have to play 70 percent of their August games on the road. Over the final 17 games of the month, the Yankees will play 14 away from Yankee Stadium.
The out-of-town odyssey began Monday night at Chicago's U.S. Cellular Field in the first game of a four-game series to be followed by a three-game set at Boston, the first of two such meetings between the Yanks and the Red Sox at Fenway Park this month (the second pushes into Sept. 1).
The Yankees have been no slouches away from home. Their 27-20 record on the road is second only to the 33-21 mark of the Red Sox. The Yanks' 47 road games are the fewest in the majors as they have 34 of their remaining 56 games (60.7%) on the road.
August has been an august month recently for the Yankees. They have had a winning record in August in 14 of the past 15 seasons. The one exception was 2008 when they were 13-15.
The Yankees had to start the trip without Derek Jeter in the lineup. He was struck in the right middle finger by a pitch Sunday against the Orioles. It was the same finger Jeter injured on a fielding play Saturday night.
The Yankees caught a break in that White Sox first baseman Paul Konerko was also missing in action. He, too, was a victim of being hit by a pitch, near the left knee, Sunday against the Red Sox. Konerko is a big loss to the White Sox. He leads them in almost every offensive category and is a .315 hitter with 20 home runs and 60 RBI in 321 career at-bats against the Yankees.
Konerko's absence was felt right away. Adam Dunn, who has had a brutal year, was playing first base and had the ball hit past him by three of the Yankees' first four hitters. Dunn, a free-agent bust who is batting .165 with 10 home runs and 38 RBI in 310 at-bats primarily as the designated hitter, got a rare start against a left-handed pitcher. He has only three hits in 73 at-bats (.041) this year against lefties.
And that was no ordinary lefty out there but CC Sabathia, who was starting a stretch in which the Yankees will go with a six-man rotation. After the starts by Phil Hughes Tuesday night and A.J. Burnett Wednesday night, Yankees manager Joe Girardi will insert Ivan Nova Thursday night and give Bartolo Colon an extra day's rest before his start Friday night at Fenway. Freddy Garcia will also get an extra day's rest for his start Sunday night after Sabathia's start Saturday on his regular turn.
More good news for Yankees fans came with the announcement that Alex Rodriguez, who had surgery July 11 to repair a meniscus tear in his right knee, will begin working out Thursday at the minor-league facility in Tampa, Fla. The Yankees hope to have the three-time Most Valuable Player back before the month is out.
Appendectomy fells Pena
It was not the happiest of birthdays for Yankees infielder Ramiro Pena, who turned 26 Monday while being in the hospital. Pena underwent an emergency appendectomy and had to be placed on the 15-day disabled list.
Pena's injury leaves the Yankees a bit skinny in the infield. They recalled Brandon Laird from Triple A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, but his flight to Tampa was delayed so the Yankees were short-handed in the opener of the four-game series at Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg, Fla. With Alex Rodriguez on the DL after undergoing arthroscopic surgery on his right knee, Eduardo Nunez is playing regularly at third base, so Pena had been the Yankees' utilityman in the infield.
There has been something of an epidemic of appendectomies this year. Cardinals left fielder Matt Holliday and White Sox designated hitter Adam Dunn had their appendixes removed earlier this season. While recovering from rotator cuff surgery, Yankees reliever Joba Chamberlain also had an appendectomy.
A re-'cycle'-ed lineup
The Yankees' lineup seemed awfully short Thursday night without Mark Teixeira and Derek Jeter in it. Manager Joe Girardi had no second thoughts about giving Jeter a blow even after knowing that Teixeira would be better served with a day off to give his jammed right shoulder time to heal.
Girardi is committed to making sure that Jeter and Alex Rodriguez not wear themselves out with overuse. They are getting to an age (DJ is 36, A-Rod 35) where a day away from the grind is a necessity to keep them fresh for the latter part of the season. As for Teixeira, he is responding well to treatment, but the shoulder is still sore. He said after Wednesday night's game that it is very uncomfortable to swing a bat, so Girardi did the right thing to play it safe.
Moving into Jeter's leadoff spot was Curtis Granderson. Brett Gardner had begun the season as the leadoff hitter against right-handed pitching, but the left fielder was fighting a 4-for-41 (.098) slump, so Girardi kept him lower in the order, in the 8-hole ahead of Eduardo Nunez, who got a start at shortstop.
Taking over the 3-hole for Teixeira was Robinson Cano, whom many consider a classic 3-hitter. Girardi was asked throughout spring training about whether he would move Cano, who usually bats fifth, into the 3-spot, but the manager has resisted and for what I think is good reason.
For one thing, what ain't broke don't need fixin'. Cano proved a reliable RBI man in the 5-hole last year, and there are worst places to put a switch hitter with power like Teixeira than third in the lineup. Cano has also been effective in the cleanup spot when A-Rod is out of the lineup. The second baseman's versatility is a great strength for the Yankees.
They have struggled offensively in the series against the White Sox, who have gotten some solid pitching. The Yankees managed to take a 2-0 lead in the finale of the four-game set before they had a hit. Chicago starter Edwin Jackson experienced a bout of wildness in the third inning and walked four batters in a row, the last (Nick Swisher) driving in a run. Cano got the second run in with a fly ball.
The Yankees ended the hitless spell when Gardner opened the fifth with a home run to right. Nunez followed with a double off the left-field wall. Suddenly, the batting order had gained some length. Granderson tripled and Swisher singled as the Yankees hit for the cycle in four successive at-bats. You don't see that every day.
And that was just the beginning. Cano and Rodriguez made it six hits in a row with a single and a double, respectively, off reliever Tony Pena. The Yankees didn't make an out that inning until the 10th at-bat, a strikeout of Gardner, after a run-scoring single by Russell Martin and a bases-loaded walk to Jorge Posada had pushed the lead to 8-0.
Did CC Sabathia ever love this? The big guy has been pitching with very little wiggle room all year and enjoyed his first real cushion. Long innings can often work against a pitcher as he waits to get back on the mound. Sabathia started the sixth after a 32-minute bottom of the fifth with a walk to Carlos Quentin but recovered quickly with strikeouts of Paul Konerko and Adam Dunn.
Things got a bit sloppy in the seventh. Nunez's second error and a balk by Sabathia fueled a three-run White Sox rally, but the Yankees got the runs back in the bottom half on a sacrifice fly by Gardner and a two-run homer by Swisher, his first ending a drought of 89 plate appearances.
That may settle Swish down. He admitted recently that he was trying to hit home runs because he was conscious of not having one yet. That is a dangerous mistake for a hitter. Now he can get back to focusing in on quality at-bats, of which he and his teammates had an abundance to earn a split in the series.
The runs off Sabathia were not earned, so the latest turn through the Yankees rotation was a manager's delight – three earned runs in 35 1/3 innings (0.76 ERA) and an average of seven innings per start – a combination of quality and depth.
Colon getting stronger as Phil fill-in
More good stuff Wednesday night from Bartolo Colon, who has been a lifesaver for the Yankees in the rotation filling in for injured Phil Hughes. The Yankees may need Colon to keep up his effective work because the other side of the good news-bad news night at Yankee Stadium was the latest word on Hughes' condition.
Yankees manager Joe Girardi said after the game, a 3-1 victory over the White Sox, that one of the myriad of tests on Hughes, who has been on the disabled list since April 15, revealed a low level risk of thoracic outlet syndrome. He will see a specialist, Dr. William Thompson, in St. Louis at a time not yet specified.
The thoracic outlet is the area between the ribcage and collar bone. Thoracic outlet syndrome is a rare condition that causes pain in the neck and shoulder, numbness in the fingertips and a weak grip. Hughes went on the DL because of right shoulder inflammation because of arm fatigue.
"Whenever you're talking about a circulation problem, there's always a concern," Girardi said.
Nevertheless, it is early yet. The extent of Hughes' circulatory issues won't be known until he sees Dr. Thompson, but it is doubtful the Yankee can count on the righthander returning soon.
That is where Colon comes in. The 2005 American League Cy Young Award winner hit 95 mph on the radar gun and held his stuff throughout eight innings, the longest he has thrown in a game since Sept. 22, 2007 for the Angels against the Mariners. He even reached 96 mph at one point in the eighth.
"One thing I remember from my playing days when I faced Bartolo is that if he was still in there in the seventh and eighth inning, his velocity went up," Girardi said. "It was that way tonight. He seems to have an extra gear."
Colon won his second consecutive start to improve his record to 2-1 with a 2.77 ERA, which is pretty good for a pitcher who was out of the majors for all of 2010 because of knee and elbow injuries.
He was especially excited about having won his first start as a member of the Yankees at the Stadium. Colon used his two-seam fastball primarily to work out of a bases-loaded, one-out situation in the second inning after the Yankees had given him the lead on Robinson Cano's three-run home run in the bottom of the first.
Colon's only other troublesome inning was the sixth. Chicago scored on successive singles by Carlos Quentin, Paul Konerko and Adam Dunn, but the damage was kept to a minimum by Colon, who made it through eight innings one shy of 100 pitches. Mariano Rivera worked the ninth for his eighth save.
"Bartolo has been our biggest surprise because we didn't know what we could expect from him," Girardi said. "He has been very consistent."
In addition to Hughes, another health issue that bears watching is the right shoulder of first baseman Mark Teixeira, who jammed it making a diving stop Tuesday night and aggravated it Wednesday night to the extent that is adversely affected his swing. Eric Chavez pinch hit for Teixeira in the eighth inning and remained in the game at first base.

A Berks County school sided with the community on the issue of privatizing school bus transportation after a study revealed the move would provide little savings to the district.
Tuesday's Exeter Twp. School Board meeting was full of concerned residents and bus drivers who could potentially lose their jobs, to show their opposition to hiring an outside contractor.
Although the board will officially vote on the issue next week, it became obvious board members believe the best option would be keeping bus services district-owned.
The packed meeting erupted in applause when board president Robert H. Quinter said, "Although we will officially vote next week, you can have an opinion to how it's gonna go."
Board member Anne Guydish presented a PowerPoint presentation outlining the benefits and the drawbacks to outsourcing the district's bus services. Guydish said Berks County Intermediate Unit, STA and First Student placed three-to five-year bids to compete with the district-owned operations.
BCIU offers transportation services to seven school districts. STA of Pennsylvania has 28 schools under contract, while First Student provides transportation to 66 schools in the state.
Guydish said district-owned bus transportation for three years would cost between $4.6 to $5.1 million. BCIU offered the lowest bid and could save the district anywhere between $185,939-$462,997 over three years. Quinter pointed out, however, that the district's fleet of buses would be purchased by BCIU under the contract and after a three year period would force the district to either renegotiate a new contract with BCIU or purchase a new fleet. "So we're not really saving anything with BCIU." Quinter said amid loud applause.
"The bids from STA and First Student were out of reach and not realistic," Guydish said of the other two contractors. STA would cost the district between $939,214-$1,150,517 more than district-owned services for three years, while First Student would cost an additional $845,002-$1,081,706.
After the presentation, each board member that spoke was in favor of keeping bus transportation district-owned. Board member Joesph Straub said, "Based on these numbers I don't see anything that would recommend a change in services," adding, "We are also an employer. The wages we pay stay in this economy."
Board member Russell Diesinger apologized to the anxious crowd, "I'm gonna state the obvious. We owe you all a thank-you."
Patricia O'Brian-Pieja noted the recent mix-ups BCIU had regarding school children being dropped off at the wrong bus spots. "The safety of our students is of the utmost importance."
A loud and relieved crowd applauded after each member spoke.
Bus driver and Exeter resident Gail Faber presented the board with a petition with more than 1,200 signatures of residents in favor of keeping bus transportation district-owned. "I want to thank the board members for their understanding and I want to thank the community for their overwhelming support."

STATEN ISLAND, NY - ST. GEORGE -- Rain couldn't dampen the good will and appreciation that Borough President James Molinaro was peddling last Saturday in the form of proclamations at the St. George Greenmarket.
The testimonials marked Nov. 8 as "Staten Island Greenmarket Day" and served to thank each vendor for enhancing the borough's food scene. Molinaro noted that the farmers travel, in some cases, hundreds of miles to bring Staten Islanders fresh fruit, vegetables, honey, fish and meat.
With the St. George Courthouse construction underway and the season's close just ahead, Saturday's discussion among shoppers quickly turned to where the Greenmarket will be located next year. Staten Islanders have suggested spots such as Snug Harbor Cultural Center and Botanical Garden in Livingston, the South Beach Boardwalk area and Fort Hill Park at Sherman and Hendricks avenues in New Brighton.
The eclectic foodies of the North Shore have been greatly supportive of the St. George market. However, on the opposite side of the borough come spring, Guido Passerelli, the developer and owner of the South Shore Commons in Tottenville, hopes to see small farmers sell produce in his parking lot on Saturday or Sunday mornings.
Will this take away the crowds from our North Shore market or simply enhance the borough's offerings of locally-produced, fresh food?
While St. George residents are used to having the market in the neighborhood, South Beach may be the best location for a new Saturday stop. It is a reasonable distance from the current locale with plenty of parking; it's also close to public transportation. The Boardwalk area is more farmer-friendly as well; it is just a few traffic lights off the Staten Island Expressway. Most Greenmarket farmers are coming from Upstate New York, Long Island, New Jersey and Pennsylvania.
South Beach also has potential for construction of an open-air pavilion, a structure that would allow customers to shop the market even on rainy days.
But most importantly, shifting to the East Shore should open up a whole new world of customers to the Greenmarket: There are sizable Russian, Polish and Mexican communities in the area and they have become great supporters of the St. George location in the last few years.
Immigrant populations are frequent users of New York State Farmers Market Checks, a program that makes food more affordable for lower income Staten Islanders.
But this discussion should consider the Greenmarket over the long haul. Farmers want to see the market expand its Staten Island customer base. Ultimately, more customers makes the Island a more appealing place to sell goods.
Moving the market to a higher-profile location like South Beach (the area already has brisk morning pedestrian traffic because of the Boardwalk) would certainly attract different vendors, including more organic vegetable farmers and those who sell yogurt and milk.
There is some thought being given to having two markets on the Island, but the idea hasn't gained a lot of traction.
Setting up one market is difficult enough. Our borough isn't the most appealing location because farmers must pay multiple tolls to get here. And our chefs do not support the Greenmarket when purchasing for their restaurants.
There is one exception to this: Laurent Chavenet of Bonjour Bakery/Chez Laurent shops the market rain or shine every Saturday for his restaurant's specials.
Staten Island didn't make the best impression on farmers who sold at the Historic Richmondtown location a few years ago. One farmer from Albany pulled stands out of that market because customers chronically (and loudly) complained about the price of apples and homemade baked goods. The laments ultimately insulted the owner-farmer and his wife who were personally picking, producing, commuting and selling all of their goods here.
Also, the site's director at the time moved the market to different parts of the property over the course of the season, making it an unpredictable experience for shoppers and farmers alike. Richmondtown was also harder for farmers to get to.
In my book, it doesn't matter where the Greenmarket goes: Fresh, locally grown food is important in our family. If we can't grow enough in our garden for the dinner table, we'll do our best to buy the season's bounty from those in the area who produce it.

Appearing on the Dan Patrick Show, Red Sox pitcher John Smoltz revealed that he expects to join Boston's starting rotation next week.
Said Smoltz:
"It looks like some time next week, either Tuesday or Wednesday.... There's no pinpoint hard date, but that's what it looks like."
"It hinges on a lot of variables that we are constantly looking at. I've got to pitch tomorrow, or Thursday, in one more rehab start."
Answering Dan Patrick's question about whether Daisuke Matsuzaka would go to the bullpen to make room in the rotation for him, Smoltz joked, "When I go to the rotation, Lester and Beckett go to the bullpen."
Both those games — June 23 and 24 — are Red Sox road games against the Washington Nationals. If he pitches June 23, Smoltz would also be in line to face his former team the Atlanta Braves on June 28.
According to the current order of the Red Sox starting rotation, June 23 would be a Brad Penny start, and June 24 would be a Jon Lester start.
The whole interview can be heard here, in hour 3 of the June 16 show. The interview begins a couple minutes into hour 3, and is well worth a listen.

When the top high school seniors in the country take the court in March to compete in the McDonald's All-American Game, two future Syracuse University men's basketball players will be among them.
Guard Michael Carter-Williams and center Rakeem Christmas, who have committed to SU for next year, are among the 12 players who made the East Team, which was announced on ESPNU on Thursday evening. Guard Trevor Cooney, the third member of SU's 2011 recruiting class, was also nominated for the game but didn't make the final cut.
"It still hasn't really hit me. As soon as I get there it will," Carter-Williams told The Salem News. "I've always known about (the game) because I watch it every year. I know it's the top players in high school and I'm just glad to be a part of it."
Syracuse is among six schools with multiple recruits on the rosters - Kentucky has the most with four and Duke has three, while Syracuse, Louisville, North Carolina and Ohio State each have two.
The McDonald's All-American Game is being held on March 30 at the United Center in Chicago, and will be broadcast on ESPN.

What would you change about your Mother-in-Law?
Andrew sits in the hot seat and tells his mother-in-law (to her face!) what he would change about her!
She passed before dh and I got married.
That had to be nerve wracking. I don't have a mother-in-law. My husband's mom passed away when he was 12 - so I guess what I would change about her is that I would choose to have her alive and well.
Nothing. I love my mother in law, she is wonderful. She is supportive, will give advice if asked and is just a sweet person
*sigh!! I don't have anything nice to say.
Um maybe that she put forth just the smallest effort to contact her son in any way. Or um Idk answer the damn emails he sends you.
I love my MIL, I can't think of anything I would change about her, except I would love for her to be able to walk again. Now my FIL......

Beginning with a Research Experience for Teachers (RET) program this past summer a research effort has been started that will allow undergraduates to collaborate with high school students in monitoring a number of bright variable stars of the \delta Scuti variety. This program will make use of the Brigham Young University 16" David Derrick Telescope and 8" Ferdinand Feghoot Telescope along with a new 10" Meade LX-200 installed at Payson High School. The initial targets for this program include DQ Cephei, DX Ceti, V474 Monocerotis, V376 Persei, \delta Scuti, and V966 Herculis. Spectroscopic follow-up observations will be made at the 1.2-m Telescope of the Dominion Astrophysical Observatory in Victoria, B.C., Canada. We hope this program will lay the ground work for additional small telescopes at high schools throughout Utah. Preliminary results will be presented.

Kaye Hearn did not raise her voice as she looked over the crowd of about 55 women and three men gathered Aug. 26 at Nosh. She didnt need to. Her measured tones said it all.
Hearn, the second woman to ever serve on the S.C. Supreme Court, was the featured speaker at the Georgetown Chamber of Commerces Womens Equality Day Celebration, the first of what the Chamber hopes will be many events aimed toward women, said Chamber CEO Jeff Smith.
Hearn recounted the fight for womens equality, from the passage of the 19th amendment to the failure of the Equal Rights Amendment and the battle for equal pay, detouring slightly to recount the fight that one of her mentors, S.C. Supreme Court Chief Justice Jean Hoefer Toal, successfully prosecuted to allow a woman to serve as a page in the General Assembly.
Toal and Hearn have shared a history as well as career stops. The women were elected chiefs of their respective courts on the same day, Toal to the states highest court, Hearn to the Court of Appeals.
Ironically, it is in the judiciary that South Carolina ranks high. A WalletHub survey put the state at No. 30 for womens equality, dragged down by a dismal 49 ranking for political empowerment. Despite Nikki Haley as governor, the state has few women in elected office.
The judiciary, however, has nearly 30 percent women.
But it almost didnt happen. While Tennessee became the needed 36th state to ratify the 19th amendment on Aug. 20, 1920, it took South Carolina much longer.
It was not our finest hour, Hearn said to chuckles. It wasnt until 1969 that the state gave its approval to the amendment, and then, said Hearn, the paperwork was lost. Only four states dragged their feet longer than we did Georgia, Louisiana, North Carolina and thank God for Mississippi.
She recounted growing up in the Alleghany Mountains of Pennsylvania, at a time when all junior high girls were required to take home economics sewing and cooking and boys took woodshop. She easily handled the cooking, but the sewing was another matter.
To add insult to injury, our sewing project in home ec was an apron. After whacking off the hem of the apron so many times, when my parents came to PTO, my project was a potholder.
When I was 16, the outlook for career-minded women was almost as dismal as my future as a seamstress.
She noted that women were encouraged to major in education, home economics and English, and there were very few tenured professors.
That did not stop her. When she enrolled in Bethany College in West Virginia, she said she did what women students did in 1968. I became a cheerleader, I pledged a sorority and I learned to drink beer.
In her second year she had been elected vice president of women students, and in her third, the president of the group was unable to attend a womens conference in Washington, D.C. Hearn went instead.
When I arrived, she said, someone pinned a button on me with the numerals 51. That was the difference between the pay for men and women.
It was while she was a law student at the University of South Carolina that she came into contact with Toal and Supreme Court Justice JB Bubba Ness.
When a group of her mostly male classmates opted to visit the State House to hear the debate on the Equal Rights Amendment, a lawyer Toal was chosen to debate anti-ERA Amendment opponent Phyllis Schlafly.
Toal was so effective that she persuaded the House to support the amendment, 83-0. The Senate, however, defeated the bill.
The other influence was JB Bubba Ness, the Supreme Court justice who hired Hearn as a clerk and later encouraged her to run for judge, a major push to the woman who, when she entered practice in Horry County, was only the third female lawyer in the county.
Hearn noted that she had an easier time than Justice Sandra Day OConnor, who graduated No. 3 in her class at Stanford, but was offered only a job as a legal secretary.
Extolling how far women have come, Hearn asked whether we still need to celebrate Womens Equality Day.
My response is a resounding yes, she said.
Young people in the Millennial Generation may not agree with me but I am disheartened by what I perceive to be a lack of enthusiasm.
Perhaps it seems irrelevant to them because theyve grown up with a sense of equality. For them, equal rights is like fluoride. Its in the water.
But we cannot rest on the laurels of the suffragettes, Bella Abzug, Betty Friedan, Gloria Steinem, because the work they began is not finished, said Hearn.
Today, she said, women earn 79 cents for every dollar of a mans wages. Better, but not good enough. But for all of us, for our daughters and our sons, we should continue to strive to achieve what Susan B. Anthony envisioned well over 100 years ago, when she wrote, Men, their rights and nothing more. Women, their rights and nothing less.

The longtime coach of the College of Holy Cross women's basketball team was well known for years as being verbally, emotionally and physically abusive with players, the lawyer for a former player said.
Coach Bill Gibbons routinely screamed at players, horse-collared them, and on several occasions struck so hard he left marks, attorney Elizabeth Eilender said in an interview with MassLive.com.
"This was done not in an encouraging way, but out of anger and frustration," said Eilender "The man is clearly in need of some anger management therapy."
In a lawsuit filed Tuesday in Manhattan Supreme Court in New York City, former player Ashley Cooper claims Holy Cross was informed but did nothing to stop the alleged abuse. The suit names Holy Cross, Gibbons, athletic director Richard Regan Jr., and associate athletic director Ann Zelesky as defendants.
Eilender said Gibbons is known for being aggressive on the sidelines, to the point players on other teams told Holy Cross players, "your coach is crazy." Yet the coach's actions went beyond mere coaching intensity, she said.
"The yelling and the screaming is the least of it, we're talking about physical abuse here," Eilender said.
Gibbons is now entering his 29th year as the women's coach of the College. The Worcester native is a graduate of Clark University. In 2011, he became the 24th active coach to reach 500 career NCAA Division 1 victories.
Eilender compared the case to that of infamous former Rutgers men's basketball coach Mike Rice, who lost his job after ESPN aired video of him screaming and throwing basketballs at players during practices.
"I actually think this is worse," Eilender said, comparing the cases. "You learn when you're little you don't hit girls."
The suit alleges Holy Cross has known about the abuse but done nothing to stop it. In a statement, the College said it previously investigated some of Cooper's claims, but the lawsuit brought forth new allegations it would look into.
"The physical, mental and emotional wellbeing of our students is our highest priority at Holy Cross. We just received the lawsuit and are in the process of reviewing it," said Ellen Ryder, director of public affairs.
Gibbons could not be reached for comment.
Eilender said that any investigation the college performed was "a joke."
"Holy Cross did what Holy Cross does, they buried it, they denied it, they covered it up," she said, adding, "I don't understand why they're protecting this man."
The alleged abuse forced Cooper to transfer out of Holy Cross after two years, giving up her athletic scholarship, Eilender said. She now attends New York University in Manhattan, which her family is paying for in full.
Cooper, 20, is originally from Colts Neck, N.J. Her father played basketball at University of Louisville, according to her Holy Cross athletics bio.
Eilender commended Cooper's bravery in standing up for other players.
"I don't want this to happen to anyone else ever again," Cooper said in an interview with ABC News. "I want to stop it. I'm doing this for other people. I'm taking a stand for others, for every freshman that walks through the door."

This tour was excellent, we were picked up at our hotel, by an excellent guide, who gave us loads of knowledge regarding our trip to Monaco. It was a lovely place, would recommend this tour to see Monaco especially at night. Nothing was too much trouble all round a great trip.

KidsFitness 24/7 season tips off
March 26, 2013
The KidsFitness 24/7 youth basketball league tipped off its inaugural season Saturday at Union Hill School with a four-game slate of hoops action.
In the 11-13-year-old division, the Bootcamp Rapids took down the KidsFitness247 All-Stars, 43-23.
The Rapids showed how well an organized offense can work when the players are hitting their shots. Nathaniel Welch came out with a lot of energy and precise shooting for the Rapids, going 7-for-15 with 18 points and six steals.
Jean-Luc Lewis added six points, five rebounds and six steals. Dane Seuss had a defensive day with six rebounds and two blocks while scoring eight points. Ari Larsen Chipped in with eight points, and Nicoya Simning had great energy with seven points in the win.
For the All-Stars, Josh Smith, Jaycee Youngman and Aidan Keros all scored seven points.
Ironworks Bulldogs 34,
IHOP Grizzlies 9
The Ironworks Athletic Bulldogs were ready for this game as they showed with great energy on and off the court.
The Bulldogs played solid defense, which in turn led to good offense.
Jaden Cummings led the way with 11 points and five rebounds. Chase Peltzer hit 1-of-4 from 3-point land and finished with seven points and four rebounds. Jaycee Youngman had a strong performance with five points and four rebounds.
Despite the lopsided loss, the Grizzlies played with a lot of energy and never gave up on the game.
Molly Wingerd showed plenty of energy and enthusiasm, grabbing a team-high six rebounds to go with a steal and an assist. Trevor Gold, the Grizzlies point guard, tallied five steals, two rebounds and an assist. Myles Morgan, also shouldering some point guard duties, played well with four steals, and Ariana Ferguson used her height to pull down four rebounds.
8-10-year-old division
Baskin Robbins Jazz 52,
Beach Hut Deli Sparkles 4
The opening game of the first kidsfitness247 Spring Basketball League may reflect a one-sided score but not for lack of effort, energy and gritty competitiveness especially by the all-girls team, the Beach Hut Deli Sparkles.
Bella Lyons, two points, three steals, two rebounds, bounced back from a big collision to show her toughness. The Sparkles simply would not give up, feverishly vying for every ball and fighting for rebounds in the paint. Scout Pettitt scored two points and grabbed five rebounds, Kylie Tyrell grabbed five boards and nabbed two steals, and Maya Hughes had a solid game with two rebounds and two steals.
The Baskin Robins Jazz were lead by Yaqub Mir with a game-high 20 points to go with eight steals and five rebounds.
The Jazz were well organized and put a lot of pressure on the Sparkles with Kevin Scanlon forcing eight steals to go with 14 points and eight rebounds. Gideon Simning added 10 points and five steals, Austin Fackell showed his defensive edge with an incredible 10 rebounds to go with six points.
Sunset Travel Kings 35
Sole Sister's Blazers 9
The Sunset Travel Kings had an impressive 25 steals in the game, leading to a decisive 26-point victory.
Kaelin Matthews led the Kings with eight steals. Benn Glorfield led the Kings in scoring with 14 points to go with seven steals and two rebounds. Milo Goehring was a rebound hound with 11 boards to go with seven points and three assists.
Augustin Fleisher rebounded well for the Kings with seven and scored six points.
The Sole Shoe Blazers struggled, but as the season progresses, with their energy, things will continue to improve. Little dynamo Alex Eckerling has plenty of gas in the tank with his non-stop running and eager play. Keegan Henry starred for the Blazers with his constant driving to the basket, scoring nine points, grabbing eight rebounds and nabbing three steals. Avery Bias was solid on defense with six rebounds and two steals.

Artist: Daniel Chester French (American, Exeter, New Hampshire 1850–1931 Stockbridge, Massachusetts)
Date: 1906–8, carved 1912–15
Medium: Marble
Dimensions: 120 1/2 x 57 1/4 x 28 3/4 in. (306.1 x 145.4 x 73 cm)
Classification: Sculpture
Credit Line: Gift of James C. Melvin, 1912
Accession Number: 15.75
As early as 1897, Daniel Chester French was at work on a commission from James C. Melvin, a Boston businessman, to design a war monument honoring his three brothers who had died in the Civil War. In 1908, the "Melvin Memorial" was erected in Sleepy Hollow Cemetery, Concord, Massachusetts, and is considered by many to be French's greatest war monument, if not his finest ideal work. Four years later, Melvin offered to fund a marble replica for the Metropolitan Museum, which was subsequently carved by the Piccirilli Brothers and installed in the museum in 1915. French merged innovative technique and symbolic content in "Mourning Victory," as he called the figure of the angel. She emerges from a cavity of a rectangular marble shaft, flesh from stone, darkness into light. The partial nude strides forward with hair and drapery swirling around her. The tip of a wing is visible near her knee. In one outstretched hand she holds a branch of laurel, while in the other she lifts above her head an American flag, its stars decisively rendered. This charged physical movement maintains a carefully orchestrated emotional balance with the melancholy restraint of the angel's downcast eyes. The Metropolitan's version relates more closely to French's original model, because in the final design for the "Melvin Memorial" the figure was reversed. Apparently, the approach to the outdoor monument brought "Mourning Victory's" upraised arm in front of her face, nearly hiding it from that vantage point.

Which comes first, the pun or the menu? "We knew we wanted to do breakfast," says the guy inside the bright-yellow Fried Egg I'm in Love cart on Hawthorne. "We thought about something NPR-themed."
This American Egg? "Yeah, that was one. Or All Eggs Considered."
Having cured the name problem another way, Fried Egg put together a simple menu that's impressive in quality, if not variety. Everything at the cart, which opened in April, is a sandwich served standard on lightly toasted sourdough bread. All but the peanut butter and jelly ($4) and a vegan-friendly black bean and veggie blend ($5) are built around the eggs. Shrewdly, owners Jace Krause and Ryan Lynch, who are bandmates in a spacey folk group called Fort Union, also grabbed a bunch more egg puns off the table. Sorry to would-be operators of Huevo Mutilation and Free-Range Against the Machine—those are now items on another cart's menu.
The eggs really are just like a dream. Lightly fried with an orange-colored spice they call "magic egg dust" (I won't ask them how they do that trick, but it has a dash of the familiar), they're a great foundation. The Yolko Ono ($6), topped with pesto, Parmesan and hand-pressed sausage, is one of the best breakfast sandwiches in town. The OK Commuter ($5.50), bacon, cheddar and an over-hard egg that's just a little runny in the middle, is a great quick, clean-fingered breakfast on the go. It's also notable that service is shockingly fast—important and sadly rare in a breakfast-sandwich game where too many carts make it feel like you've waited hours for this.
Take a big bite. It's not quite a gorgeous sight, but it's a damn good sandwich.
- Order this: The Yolko Ono, $6.
- Iâll pass: For 75 cents you can upgrade to a âfarm-freshâ egg. We didnât notice much of a difference from the regular egg.
EAT: Fried Egg I'm in Love, 3217 SE Hawthorne Blvd., friedegglove.com. 8:30 am-3 pm Wednesday-Friday, 9 am-3 pm Saturday-Sunday.

Sullivan and Rob Chubb brought Auburn back from a crippling first-half run by opening the second half on fire, led the Tigers to the brink of beating Arkansas on its vaunted home floor and put Auburn in position to take a huge road SEC win.
But the Tigers didn't have enough to close the door. B.J. Young's clutch 3-pointer late in the second overtime period sealed Arkansas' 88-80 win and snapped the Tigers' three-game win streak.
"Your veteran players, your seniors and your juniors, have got to be the ones to make the difference down the stretch," Auburn head coach Tony Barbee said. "Our veteran players faltered at that moment."
Auburn (8-8, 2-1) has come up just short of Arkansas too many times in Barbee's three-year tenure. All five games have been decided by 10 points or less, and all five have gone to the Razorbacks.
Behind Sullivan and Chubb, the Tigers knocked Arkansas (11-5, 2-1) on its heels again in the second half Wednesday night.
Held in check as Arkansas opened up a 34-27 halftime lead, Sullivan and Chubb opened the second half by pouring in 14 and 8 points, respectively, in the first nine minutes of the second half to hand the Tigers a 54-51 lead.
Marshawn Powell countered with 13 points of his own, but Auburn seemed to put Arkansas on the ropes when Sullivan knocked down his fifth 3-pointer to give the Tigers a 64-59 lead with 6:27 left.
"I was really wanting this one sometime in my career," Chubb said. "We didn't hold it together, we didn't some plays when we needed to."
After Sullivan's shot, the Tigers committed four turnovers down the stretch – Chubb had three alone – Sullivan forced a pair of ill-advised shots and Auburn failed to score for the next six minutes and 22 seconds.
Powell, who had a game-high 28 points, gave Arkansas the lead with 2:42 left on a 3-pointer, and a free throw gave the Razorbacks a 67-64 lead with the clock winding down.
Then Auburn finally got the big shot it needed. Allen Payne knocked down a deep 3-pointer with 5.2 seconds left to tie the score and send it into overtime.
"By the grace of God, I got a good look at it, I was able to catch it in rhythm," Payne said. "It felt good when it left my hand."
After that shot, Auburn felt good going into overtime, and the Tigers emerged from a back-and-forth first overtime period to take a 75-74 lead with 44 seconds left when Sullivan split a double team for a layup, but a free throw by Mardracus Wade tied the game, and it took a great strip by Josh Wallace on Young in the lane to force a second overtime.
Young atoned for the final-possession mistake by burying the key 3-pointer in the second overtime to finally put Auburn away.
"Any time you give yourself a chance to win on the road in conference play, you've got to take it," Barbee said. "It slipped through our hands there at the end."
Auburn made its fair share of mistakes to keep Arkansas in the game. The Tigers turned the ball over 19 times, made just 7-of-17 free throws and only out-rebounded one of the SEC's worst rebounding teams by three.
But even after those mistakes, the Tigers had a chance to win behind Sullivan, who had 26 points and nine rebounds, and Chubb, who turned in his second straight double-double with 12 points and 11 rebounds.
Auburn just didn't make enough plays down the stretch.
""It's very disappointing. I don't think nobody that is competitive likes losing, especially when you come in here and it's hard to win in the first place, and every time, you're that close, and you can't turn the corner.

In Search of the Perfect Human Diet.
So I've seen Fat, sick and nearly dead which I thought was a great documentary. There are definitely some Primal Principles (except of course not eating meat) such as obesity, processed foods etc. My question is has there been a documentary made about Primal, Paleo or caveman diet?
In Search of the Perfect Human Diet.
I wish I liked to eat liver.
Watch Fat Head. You can watch it free on Hulu if you live in the United States.
Yes, the real Dirk.
I second Fat Head
I agree that Fat Head makes a good point about dietary choices and exercise, but eating processed garbage for ~30 days (28 when all was said and done, I think) is hardly Paleo.
I wish I liked to eat liver.
Probably not what your looking for....
I would like to eat dinner here though:

Reader comment: Cop deserves reduced sentence for providing key to Danziger Bridge shootings
Times-Picayune Staff
