Astros are looking for a manager, and if Joe Maddon were cloned tomorrow, they'd sign him up.
The Astros are on their way to 100 losses for the second straight season. If that sounds a lot like the Rays team Joe Maddon took over in 2006, well, so be it.
The Astros love that comparison, and they're hoping the similarities don't stop there. Like the Rays of 2006, the Astros have just hired an unproven young general manager. If Astros general manager Jeff Luhnow turns out to be as good as Tampa Bay's Andrew Friedman, there are happy days ahead.
There's one other comparison. Friedman took over a franchise that had a solid farm system, a farm system that produced plenty of the core guys that allowed the Rays to go from 101 losses in 2006 to the World Series in 2008.
The Astros believe they've got a very solid farm system, one that has been systematically upgraded the last few years. There's no guarantee with young players, so there's no way of knowing how soon the Astros are going to compete.
All that's for sure is that, like the Rays, the Astros have an owner, Jim Crane, who understands that good organizations are built from the ground up and that there are no shortcuts. He's willing to give Luhnow the resources and the patience to do things right. He hopes that once the Astros are back in contention, they're in contention for a long time.
Maddon was the perfect hire for Friedman in 2006. He had a long career in the minor leagues and then had worked at the right hand of one of baseball's best, Mike Scioscia. He also had an open, curious mind that devoured the stacks of analytical data that Friedman and his staff provide. That data helps Maddon with everything from lineups to defensive positioning.
That's exactly the guy the Astros are looking for. Luhnow may interview some veteran managers to replace Brad Mills, who was fired on Saturday, but here's guessing he ultimately hires an under-the-radar guy who, like Maddon, has great communication skills and a track record in player development.
From the moment Crane bought the Astros last fall, this was the plan he laid out. The thing that's different about Major League Baseball from other sports is that there are no quick fixes. By the time a franchise is in trouble, by the time it's clear the farm system is weak, it's usually a two-, three- or four-year fix. It can only be repaired by stacking one good draft class on top of another and by being aggressive internationally.
The Astros are off to a terrific sport. Luhnow has begun his tenure by making massive changes in the front office and on the roster. Next season is likely to be a tryout camp of sorts as the franchise's best young minor league talent is given an opportunity to show it belongs. By this time next year the Astros will know a lot more about how quickly they can contend again.
To help the reconstruction along, Luhnow is looking for a manager who can lead, communicate, identify talent and help develop that talent. There may not be a perfect manager out there, but Maddon is awfully close. He would be perfect.
1 Comment
I am hoping for something good. I see the rising stock in the minor leagues and am encouraged, but watching the team on the field is very frustrating and/or deadly dull.
Richard, do you miss having Drayton to beat up on?

Today we share with you another glitzy Gatsby Inspired Styled Shoot taken at the beautiful Diamant Estate in Paarl! Once more the Great Gatsby is back! Who can resist the glitz and glam, amazing fashion, beautiful cars, guys puffing cigars, sipping whiskey and ladies sipping cocktails wearing pearls and (faux) fur with Jazz music playing in the background. With such great inspiration a couple of wedding suppliers came together to do a Gatsby themed Styled Shoot; a combination of glamour and vintage.
Conceptualising the style of the shoot, Simoné Roelofse from Adore Me decided to use many elements like Art Deco inspired stationery, 1920's inspired headpieces, wedding dresses as well as hair and make-up, decor and a wedding cake inspired by both glamour and vintage. With a backdrop as beautiful as Diamant Estate, and stunning products by our service providers on board, putting together all the elements was easy. Our photographer, Moira van der Westhuizen from Moira West Photography captured all the details and our picture perfect models so well, and really brought our concept together beautifully.
All the elements of that era is more than what you will need to make your wedding day a day to remember.

Gators run over sentinels
By CASEY OLSON
Sports editor
The Spanaway Lake Senitinels were ran over, around and any other way possible Friday night during a 49-14 loss to Decatur. The Gators improved to 2-0 in the South Puget Sound League South Division with the impressive victory.
We just had to step it up and play hardball, said senior lineman Lance Witherspoon. We just played hard-core football.
Witherspoon was part of the Gators offensive line that opened up gaping holes in the Spanaway Lake defense, allowing running backs Kyle Bressler and Rodney McCurry, along with quarterback Darin Harris, to rack up 407 yards on the ground. All three tallied at least 100 yards rushing the football.
Bressler led the Gators with a career-high 166 yards and three touchdowns, McCurry also ran for three touchdowns and 112 yards on just 11 carries. Harris tallied 106 yards on 10 carries, including a 61-yard touchdown.
Our (offensive line) kids are pretty solid, said first-year coach Bill Heglar. They are pretty good players and those Spanaway kids fought hard.
The Gator win sets up another big game Friday night when they travel to Puyallup to take on the upstart Emerald Ridge Jaguars, who stunned Federal Way Saturday, 28-26. The come-from-behind victory over the Eagles was Emerald Ridges first SPSL victory during their two-year history in the league. The Jaguars went 0-9 last year and lost 48-22 to the No. 3-ranked Bethel Braves during the first week of the season.
Emerald Ridge uses a bevy of sophomores starting six after graduating 18 of 35 players from last seasons winless team. The sophomores have proven to be the big-play makers for the Jags. Coach Kelly Susee credits their enthusiasm and lack of knowledge about the rugged SPSL South as big factors in the teams surprising start. Sophomores Neko Doy and Bo Mullen made the biggest plays Saturday against the Eagles. Doy hauled in the 31-yard, game-winning touchdown with just over five minutes left in the game after Mullen, a linebacker, returned an interception 40 yards for a touchdown late in the third quarter.
But the Jaguars defense can be run on, which could be very bad news against the run-happy Gators. Federal Way junior C.J. Green proved that. Green carried the ball 27 times for 187 yards and a pair of touchdowns.
Emerald Ridge played hard, Federal Way coach John Meagher said. They were down, but they didnt quit. They battled back.
Against Spanaway Lake, Harris, the Gators all-everything quarterback, didnt complete a pass. Harris finished 0-for-2 after throwing for 125 yards and touchdown during Decaturs week-one win over Curtis.
I just do what it takes to win, Harris said. I just try to do my best.
Decatur opened up the scoring after an interception by senior Warren Faber on the Sentinels 3-yard line. Bressler punched the ball in for his first touchdown one play later to put the Gators up 7-0.
After a Spanaway Lake punt, Bressler took the ball 76 yards up the middle less than two minutes later for the touchdown and a 14-0 lead.
Spanaway Lakes two touchdowns were both set up with trick or gadget plays. Their first was a 50-yard pass completion with 3:00 left in the first quarter when Steven Parley went uncovered up the sideline after faking like he was coming out of the game for a substitution.
After McCurry scored on a 37-yard run early in the second quarter the Sentinels second touchdown came with 9:04 left in the half on a perfectly executed 53-yard halfback pass back to the quarterback a play that cut the Decatur lead to 21-14.
We knew that (trick) stuff was coming, Heglar said. But you cant practice defending that at game speed.
Following the Spanaway Lake trickery, the Gators tallied four-straight touchdowns a 21-yard McCurry run up the middle, Harris 61-yarder, a 10-yarder from Bressler and an 11-yard run up the gut from McCurry to finalize the score.
The Decatur defense was also dominating. The Gators tallied six sacks, forced four turnovers and held Spanaway Lake to just 78 yards rushing. During their opening-week win over Curtis, the Gators limited the Vikings to under 100 yards rushing. The Sentinels (1-1, 1-1) passed for 290 yards.
We still have a lot of things to get better at, Heglar said.

Last week was one of transition for North Royalton High School athletes.
The girls basketball regular season came to a close, wrestlers and gymnasts moved to the brink of the state meet, and swimmers and divers found out who will compete with the best in Ohio.
Not to be outdone, the boys basketball team wrapped up the Northeast Ohio Conference Lake Division title.
Here's a look back at the past week:
The Bears qualified for the district tournament as a team after finishing third in Saturday's sectional competition at Brecksville-Broadview Heights High School.
Brecksville won the event with 148.825, followed by Strongsville (142.275) and the Bears (133.500). The top 12 individuals in each event also qualified for districts.
Individually, sophomore Lauren DiFrancisco was 10th on vault, junior Julia Koetter was 10th on Beam and junior Holly Dombrowski was 10th on floor. Sophomore Brianna Koberling was 16th in all-around.
The Northeast District tournament is Feb. 23 at Riverside High School in Painseville.
Boys basketball
In the final home game of the season, the Bears took their final step toward the NOC Lake Division crown.
The 56-45 victory over Normandy on Thursday clinched the title for the Bears, who are now 9-0 in the division (19-2 overall) with a game left against Mayfield Feb. 22.
The Bears' first tournament game is March 2 (6 p.m.) at Brecksville-Broadview Heights High School against the winner of Parma and Cleveland Rhodes. The Bears are the No. 2 seed in the Broadview Heights District. St. Edward is seeded No. 1.
The Bears had one champion and seven total district qualifiers at Saturday's sectional, which they hosted. They finished fourth in the team standings behind Maple Heights, Parma and Bedford.
Senior Danny Bartinelli won the 120-pound title by technical fall. Junior Alec Benedetti (126), sophomore Cameron Mayell (152), senior Dylan League (160) and junior Garrett Snyder (220) all finished third. Senior Andre Herron (113) and sophomore Xavier Wasco (132) were fourth.
The Bears' district qualifiers will compete Friday and Saturday at the Mentor District tournament.
Swimming & Diving
Sophomore diver Kristen Denk was the lone state qualifier for the boys and girls teams after last week's Northwest District competition at Bowling Green State University.
Denk grabbed the district's final state qualifying spot by placing sixth. Senior Jamie Wilson finished seventh.
Junior Erika Pyatt was eighth in the 100 breaststroke, but her time of 1:01.36 didn't earn an at-large berth to the state meet. No other individual finished in the top 10 in an event for the girls.
The girls finished ninth in the team standings, the boys were 21st.
Girls basketball
The Bears didn't win the NOC River Division, but they helped decide to who did.
By beating Brunswick on Wednesday, 38-26, the Bear denied the Blue Devils a share of the division title, which instead went to Medina. The Blue Devils finished second. The Bears (13-8 overall, 5-5 NOC) were fourth.
Sophomore Alison Smolinski led all scorers with 15 points as the Bears outscored the Blue Devils 16-4 in the fourth quarter to pull away.
They begin tournament play Wednesday (7:30 p.m.) at Valley Forge High School against Lakewood.

Black Communist in the Freedom Struggle
The Life of Harry Haywood
Publication Year: 2012
Mustering out of the U.S. army in 1919, Harry Haywood stepped into a battle that was to last the rest of his life. Within months, he found himself in the middle of one of the bloodiest race riots in U.S. history and realized that he'd been fighting the wrong war—the real enemy was right here at home. This book is Haywood's eloquent account of coming of age as a black man in twentieth-century America and of his political awakening in the Communist Party.
For all its cultural and historical interest, Harry Haywood's story is also noteworthy for its considerable narrative drama. The son of parents born into slavery, Haywood tells how he grew up in Omaha, Nebraska, found his first job as a shoeshine boy in Minneapolis, then went on to work as a waiter on trains and in restaurants in Chicago. After fighting in France during the war, he studied how to make revolutions in Moscow during the 1920s, led the Communist Party's move into the Deep South in 1931, helped to organize the campaign to free the Scottsboro Boys, worked with the Sharecroppers' Union, supported protests in Chicago against Mussolini's invasion of Ethiopia, fought with the International Brigades in Spain, served in the Merchant Marines during World War II, and continued to fight for the right of self-determination for the Afro-American nation in the United States until his death in 1985.
This new edition of his classic autobiography, Black Bolshevik, introduces American readers to the little-known story of a brilliant thinker, writer, and activist whose life encapsulates the struggle for freedom against all odds of the New Negro generation that came of age during and after World War I.

As I have already mentioned, the first day of the bloody Chicago Race Riot ( July 28, 1919) came while I was working on the Wolverine run up through Michigan. When I arrived home from work that afternoon, the whole family greeted me emotionally. We were all there except for ...

I arrived in New York in early November 1930. After four and a half years in the Soviet Union, everything seemed quite strange. While passing through customs, I lit up a cigarette.

HAMILTON — The last time a Trenton High School football team conquered Hamilton, Americans were living in fear of Y2K, Eminem and South Park were brand new, and the Curse of the Great Bambino was alive and well.
"It's been a while!" exclaimed athletic trainer David "Poppy" Sanderson, whose sons both graduated from Hamilton.
For Trenton fans, the wait is over, as the red and black prevailed over the orange and black, 36-7, at Hamilton's Homecoming Saturday.
Wide Receiver J'von Clark scored the first two Tornado touchdowns en route to a day of domination on both sides of the ball.
"This is one unit," Clark said. "I give a big shout out to our coach (first-year skipper Tarig Holman). We're playing as one and taking things one game at a time."
Trenton appears to be taking it one play at a time — the very first of which was an early-game wake-up call.
Hamilton's Tyleer Wrenn took the opening kickoff 81 yards for a touchdown that electrified theHamilton crowd — many of whom thought it might be an omen signaling an upset.
Trenton, though, climbed back, notching a 15-7 halftime lead via Clark's points.
It added another touchdown in the third quarter when 320-pound J'Ron Brown pummeled his way to a 2-yard score. Victor Leiva's 17-yard reception for a TD in the fourth ended the game's competitive phase.
And just 45 seconds after that, the Tornadoes added laughter to legend. Gargantuan defensive lineman Marcus Ruffis — another 320-pounder — intercepted a Kyle Bohn pass at the Hornets' 8 yard line and trotted on in for the final score.
For Trenton fans, it was even more eye-popping than Russell Maryland's similar pick-six against Jim Kelly in Super Bowl XXVII.
"That was the highlight of my year," said an elated Ruffis as as his teammates mobbed the senior.
"I really thought he (Bohn) was going to run it. He threw it right at me. It was really mind-blowing."
Trenton has outscored the three Hamilton schools, 103-20.
Despite the loss, the young Hornets remain positive.
"We played pretty good in pass coverage," Wrenn said.
"We just have to get a better run pursuit. My runback gave us a lot of energy and made us want to come out and play even more. But once they scored, all that energy and momentum died down."
That pass coverage included a second-quarter Tino Malave interception inside the red zone. Shortly after, Malave was crowned Homecoming king with cheerleader Nina Innocenzi as his queen.
"We were battling with them in the first two quarters," Malave said. "Defense did well at times. We didn't care about their record."

BAY CITY, MI — McLaren Bay Region officials have announced that retirees who were overpaid because of a pension miscalculation will not be asked to repay the money they previously were told they owed.
The error caused 283 McLaren Bay Region retirees to be either overpaid or underpaid when it came to their pensions. Seventy employees were underpaid a total of about $1.1 million, and 213 employees were overpaid a total of about $832,000, according to a McLaren Bay Region news release issued earlier this year.
Those who were underpaid were people who retired after the age of 65, and those who were overpaid were people who retired before the age of 65.
Those who were overpaid originally were told they must choose between writing a check for the total amount they owe or having their monthly pension benefit reduced to correct the error and make up for the over-payments.
Those who were underpaid were told they could choose a lump sum or could have their monthly retirement benefit increased until the underpayment is repaid.
The error was discovered "when McLaren Bay Region began to consolidate its pension programs into the corporation's pension programs," Kurt Miller, then-director of marketing and public relations for McLaren Bay Region, previously told The Bay City Times.
Magen Samyn, vice president of marketing and public relations, on Monday, Dec. 2, said the situation has been resolved.
"The over-payments made by McLaren to the retirees will not have to be repaid," she said.
A news release issued at the time stated, "McLaren Bay Region will file a proposed amendment with the IRS which, if accepted, would correct the overpayment error. No one will be asked to repay any overpayments while this new option is being evaluated by the IRS, which could take 12 to 18 months. This will not affect any underpaid adjustments."
Samyn said the IRS accepted the proposed amendment and the McLaren Bay Region Board of Directors in November unanimously approved it.
A letter sent last week to those retirees impacted by the miscalculation, and obtained by The Times, says the action taken by the board has no impact on those who were neither overpaid nor underpaid.
The letter does contain one number slightly different from that listed in McLaren's news release from earlier this year — that of the total in underpayments.
"The action by the board revises the Plan so that the overpayments totaling approximately $832,000 and the underpayments totaling approximately $1,200,000 were made in accordance with the Plan," the letter reads. "We are pleased that the IRS agreed with and approved our proposed Pension Plan Amendment and that the Board promptly approved the decision by the IRS."

Imju Fiberwig ($22) Engineered to create the perfect lashes with twice the amount of micro-fine interconnecting fibers, the instant drying formula creates a long lasting film coat around your natural lashes. Fiberwig imparts a perfect, smudge-proof maximum lash extension effect with a water-resistant formula that's easy to remove with warm water, without risking damaging or losing your natural lashes.
My Thoughts:
This mascara adds noticeable length and is smudge-free. It has tiny fibres that grab onto your eyelashes and makes you look like you have naturally dark long eyelashes. It is very easy to remove. You actually see the tiny fibers when you remove it. I don't use this mascara all the time because I prefer volume. If I ever want length, this is my go-to mascara.

In Nairobi we spent time at the Langata Giraffe Center and enjoyed a leisurely lunch with Felix and Jane Pinto, founders and owners of Micato Safaris. We also had a chance to visit their AmericaShare project in Nairobi and served lunch to the smallest school kids. The Pintos donate a year's tuition for each booking on a Micato safari.
We flew up to the Samburu National Reserve and spent two nights in Larsens Tented Camp. Game drives are at 6:30 AM and 4:30 PM and we saw so many animals that it was hard to believe that they roam free. Since they aren't hunted by humans they allow us to come very close in the safari vehicles. And after a hard day of game viewing nothing beats a Sundowner cocktail out on the savannah.
We visited the Maasai Mara for more game drives and to visit a Maasai community. Staying at the Fairmont Mara Safari Club we could hear the herd of hippos grunting and snorting as they made their way to the river at 4 AM each day!
Our adventure continued for several more days and this was all pretty exciting for a city girl. If you want to check out this amazing company click on over to www.micato.com.

MUSKEGON, MI – The honors keep coming for Muskegon basketball on a state and national level.
Deyonta Davis, the team's all-state 6-foot-9 junior center and verbal commit to Michigan State, has added honors from MaxPreps.com. He was named to the second team for the All-American squad for high school juniors.
Senior guard Deshaun Thrower, Michigan's Mr. Basketball, was named honorable mention All-American by MaxPreps as one of the top 50 players in the country.
The two helped Muskegon to a 28-0 season and the Class A state championship. The Big Reds were ranked as high as No. 16 in the MaxPreps national team rankings.
Lost in the hoopla of Muskegon's run to the title is a what is believed to be a state record for Davis.
Muskegon coach Keith Guy is in process of verifying with the Michigan High School Athletic Association that Davis broke the state record for blocked shots in a season.
Davis finished the season with 199 blocks. The state record listed in the MHSAA record books is 182 by Flint Powers' Tom Herzog in 2003-04.
Others in the top five are Pentwater's Jason Aerts with 176 in 2000-01, Tri-unity Christian's Chris Kaman with 159 in 1999-2000 and North Muskegon's Drew Naymick with 148 in 2001-02 and 144 in 2002-03.
Naymick is listed as the state's all-time career leader in blocks with 527 from 2000-03.
"I knew he had a high number," Guy said about Davis. "I didn't know what the record was. I'm trying to find a way to make this official."
Davis used his timing and size to swat away shot after shot in the paint for the Big Reds.
"Not only does he block them, but he keeps them in play," Guy said. "I think it's natural. Some kids are born with it and he's blessed to be born with that talent."
Davis and teammate Joeviair Kennedy are playing together this spring with an AAU team based in Indiana.
For Guy, he served as an assistant coach in Friday's Jordan Brand Classic in New York. Guy helped coach the West team, which defeated the East 158-147 in a game played at the Barclays Center, home of the NBA's Brooklyn Nets.
"I got a chance to meet Michael Jordan and saw a lot of players," Guy said. "I got a chance to witness the unveiling of Jordan's new shoe (Air Jordan XX9). It was big time. Nike does it right."

By Polly Keary, Editor
This is not your father's fundraiser. Bake sales and levies are the most traditional ways of raising money for schools, but today there's a new way, and some Monroe teachers are making the most of it.
Donorschoose.org. is one of many crowdsourcing websites to proliferate in recent years, but unlike Kickstarter, by far the most famous, Donorschoose.org is specifically for classroom projects.
Through Donorschoose.org, teachers can post classroom needs or wishes such as arts and craft supplies, science equipment or computer technology. Teachers also post how much the need will cost, and establish a deadline by which the goal must be reached. Supporters can then pledge amounts toward the total, and when the goal is reached, the supporters' credit cards are charged and Donorschoose.org buys the materials or equipment and ships them to the teacher.
Supporters get photos of the projects or supplies in use, a letter of thanks from the teacher and a clear explanation of how each dollar was used. Those who give more than $50 also get handwritten letters of thanks from students.
If a fundraiser doesn't meet its goal in the specified timeline, donors get their donations returned as account credits which then can be used to pledge to other projects.
Although not as famous as its enormous counterpart Kickstarter, Donorschoose.org has been around longer. It was started by a Bronx teacher in 2000, and got a huge boost when Oprah Winfrey called it a "revolutionary charity" in 2003, whereupon the website got so many hits it crashed. In 2007, Donorschoose.org opened to every school in the country, and political commentator and comedian Stephen Colbert became an advocate. Now the organization has set a goal of collecting $100 million from at least 1 million people to go to projects in 100 percent of America's high-poverty schools, all in a single school year.
The site is searchable by zip code, and a search for the Monroe zip code generally turns up several projects.
One teacher who has run a number of successful projects is Nick Wolfe, a science teacher at Monroe High School.
Wolfe typically tries to double his school budget each year by seeking grants, and Donorschoose.org has given him a new tool to furnish his classroom with science teaching aids.
The first project he posted was a request for funds for some tools. That was a success, so he did others, including a recent one for astronomy equipment to complement the telescope that he recently acquired. There are many things that would be great for kids, but that aren't realistic without extra help, he went on, things like school trips.
"Trips; that's where we really, really lack," said Wolfe. "Going to competitions clear in Pullman, that's expensive. There's no room in the budget to buy that kind of stuff."
Although Donorschoose.org is a helpful tool, Wolfe has mixed feelings about it, as he fears the district could begin to look to teachers more often to find their own funding for needed things.
"I want to shout its praises but I don't want the district putting more burden on the teachers," he said. "It's a band aid rather than a vaccine."
Another recent project that got funded was for a large 8'x13' "Story Time Animal Rug" for Mrs. Sweeney's kindergarten class at Frank Wagner Elementary. The cost was $470, $599 after sales tax, shipping, labor and materials and a processing fee. Donors also made a $105 donation to Donorschoose.org, which was optional. That meant in all, donors gave $705 to the project.
Currently, Mrs. Whitehouse at Fryelands Elementary is seeking digital camera technology to help her students learn to read.
"In kindergarten, the goal is to be able to compose simple sentences using a mix of known sight words and inventive (sound out) spelling," she wore in the project description. "Often students will draw pictures and do corresponding writing. However, that can get monotonous! My students need six digital cameras; they would allow for students to take photos of events, objects, and places, and use those images to spring forth writing."
For example, she said, they could take a picture of a tree and then label all the parts, or of a friend, and then write reasons why they are friends and so on.
"If my project is funded, it will help ignite students' excitement for writing by giving them a novel way to complete pieces. Since they come from a technologically advanced world, bringing digital cameras into the classroom will support the growth of technology skills. They will have a collection of writing that is personal to them as it contains their own images. This supports self confidence, self esteem, and seeing themselves as having something important to say," she wrote.
The fundraising goal is $322, and has been listed for a week. So far there have been no donors, but there are about 40 days to go.
It's hard asking parents and donors for funding, said Wolfe. But he's learned that people are glad to help.
One parent explained why, he said.
"It gives the public a chance to invest in their own kids; say, 'Hey, my kids aren't getting what they need,' or 'They are jazzed about science; let's support it,'" he said. "One person told me, 'If you're excited enough to ask for it, I'm happy to help pay for it.'"

The Achievement Blip
February 10th, 2009 by Anuj
There once was a time,
when no one came online,
people played their games,
without remembering any of their friends' names.
A time when effort spent was nothing lost,
for there was nothing on our checklists that needed crossed.
Each objective had an appropriate reward, a fitting retribution,
as opposed to the next task at hand, requiring little or no intuition.
Though that time is gone, forever lost, forever mourned,
we will embrace our new tranquility,
with subconscious mind and obsessive ability.
The achievement blip at the helm,
now ruling our gaming realm;
with the majesty with which you are adorned,
I only wish that we were warned.
Oh peaceful and serene achievement blip,
your every visit makes my heart flip…
except when it's just my friends coming online,
which is actually what's happening 90% of the time.
Despite that however, my heart races and leaps and flies and soars,
but then I see my friend's name and I'm just left wanting more.
In that moment I trip and fall and crash into depression,
and once again crawl back into my obsession.
I'll never know why your visits I desire…
what I think I'd really like, is for you to retire.
What is it that you fulfill, for me to seek you so aggressively,
keeping me from living happily.
I feel like I don't even play a game anymore,
unless it'll improve my gamerscore.
At least I haven't played things like King Kong, and Cars, and Avatar,
because then I might feel like a complete retard.
But unfortunately it's probably only a matter of time,
till I commit that heinous crime.
As those little numbers increase by five and ten,
my dedication grows by a similar token.
I knew it was getting out of hand,
when I started counting the numbers like grains of sand,
till I reached the lofty ten thousand.
Alas, this was a burden with which I was born,
despite any and all of my scorn.
We may no longer be free,
but achievement blip I admire thee:
your evaluation had been something I've always wanted…
be it cold and cruel to leave me haunted.
Be careful what you wish for,
to open such a bitter sweet door,
for we are only mortal,
now if you'll excuse me I'm going to go play more Portal.

I should probably add, that the poem isn't exactly about me in every way… I'd say it's more of a general perspective on the whole thing.

Dear Lanie,
A friend wants to fix me up with a man who is separated but not divorced. I have a rule not to date separated men but I am curious what you think.
Hi Carrie,
I certainly get asked this question a lot. Some dating coaches, like Joy Brown, agree with your rule. I have heard her say in her humorous southern drawl, that she doesn't care if someone has been "separated since the dirt age," they need to wait a year after the divorce before they start dating.
I, however, have a different take.
I believe life is messier than we might like and that hard and fast rules might not make sense.
I have known people who have been divorced for 20 years and are still carrying around anger and bitterness. Yet other folks might be hot off the press but have worked through their stuff quickly and are ready to move on. We each grieve differently and heal differently.
Each situation is also different--some marriages have been dead for a long time. Some people are separated and not divorced for financial or other reasons.
What people seem to be nervous about re dating separated folks, is that the separated person is harboring a lot of anger, that he or she who dates them might be the dreaded transition person or that the separated person might go back to their spouse.
And yes, these are concerns.
But if you are open to meeting them, and see only positive energy, over time you might be happily reassured on all other counts. But yes, make sure they seem upbeat and are not talking about the past.
(Remember, don't fire personal questions like you are at Guantanamo Bay.)
In my experience as a matchmaker, many people have dated separated people and are now married to them or are in good solid relationships.
If you keep your eyes open, you might have a lot to gain.
PS This can also apply to those recently widowed. When a dear friend died, her husband began dating soon afterwards. He had cared for her beautifully while she was alive and to me, that was what mattered. When he called to tell me he was dating someone special, I was delighted. Carpe Diem. And they are now happily married. I am glad she didn't have a hard and fast rule or she might have missed out on being with a wonderful man.

So with gas prices rising, why isn't congress working on the problem instead of just making showy hearings and pointing fingers at the oil companies. After all, they make the laws. And a recent bill would have added at least 50 cents to each gallon of gas.
It might be their focus, which recently was global warming, asking for trillions of dollars out of our economy to "Fix" the problem. Many think the global warming is a non-issue and even if it is, mankind's efforts are too puny to help.
A good article from The American Thinker is linked here.

Jonah Peretti, founder of BuzzFeed, said the way people handle online news and features has entirely changed because of social media. His own site proves the point. Pivot conference
When Jonah Peretti co-founded the Huffington Post, covering news online was all about generating data on clicks, knowing and sharing which stories were hot, and calling them out accordingly.
Now, as the founder of BuzzFeed—where the feeds include LOL, OMG, and trashy— Peretti says he is still "obsessed with virality"—but the hottest commodity in news has gone beyond clicks.
"Now we're seeing that social and sharing is opening up a new wave," the 38-year-old entrepreneur said, speaking at the Pivot Conference in New York today during a session with Martin Nisenholtz, senior vice president of digital at the New York Times Company. "We have distribution, we have the data, and now we have sharing, and that is opening up new types of distribution."
Peretti realized the significance of sharing when a BuzzFeed fan wrote in to complain that there "wasn't a good story to share," one day. That's when it struck him that people weren't just there to read what was hot but to be able to broadcast what they were finding.
"People were seeing the front page of BuzzFeed as a place to go to share with their friends on Facebook (Nasdaq: FB) and Twitter," he said. "Now everyone knows you're part of this network, and when you share something, you're almost like a publisher."
The site, which provides "sponsored content" that is marked as such but is in the same format as other BuzzFeed content, is generating four times as much revenue this year as it did last year, Peretti said. It now generates 30 million unique visitors and those visitors are on the site due entirely to social media, he says.
After getting an MA in journalism from Syracuse University, Teresa worked as a general assignment newspaper reporter—general on purpose because besides the usual city hall and police articles, there was the chance to fly an F-18 with the Blue Angels and tag along with bounty hunters on a stakeout—all good preparation for covering entrepreneurs.

I've been covering the Syracuse University basketball program for the past 25 seasons. Actually, it's 25 and a half since I started on the beat mid-way through the 1988-89 season.
Over two-plus weeks, I'll rank the teams that I've covered. That's 1 through 26 or, more precisely, 26 through 1.
Which teams would you rank among the best in the past 25 (actually 26) years? Let us know what you think of the rankings in the comments section.
Overall record: 30-10
Conference record (finish): 11-7 (tie 5th in Big East)
Postseason: Lost to Michigan in NCAA tournament's Final Four
Best player: Michael Carter-Williams
C.J. Fair led Syracuse in scoring and rebounding in 2012-13, but right from the beginning of the season it was apparent that the Orange's top player was Michael Carter-Williams.
Throughout the season, Syracuse's success was predicated on the play of the sophomore point guard. Carter-Williams, in his first year as a starter, averaged 11.9 points per game and he handed out 292 assists. In the history of Syracuse basketball only one player has ever had more assists in a season and that was the legendary Sherman Douglas, who had 326 as a senior in 1988-89.
Unsung hero: Brandon Triche
Over the span of his career, Brandon Triche never got a lot of credit. Yet, here was a four-year starter in his senior season, averaging 13.6 points per game.
Triche was never Syracuse's leading scorer. For the last three years of his career, he moved to the shooting guard position, which was not his natural spot. But he did everything that was asked of him and as a senior helped lead the Orange to the Final Four.
Most memorable game: Georgetown
I considered quite a few games. Syracuse beat No. 1 ranked Louisville at the KFC Yum! Center. The win over San Diego State on the aircraft carrier USS Midway was a once in a lifetime moment. And then there was the win over No. 1 seed Indiana in the NCAA tournament.
But there was really just one choice. Syracuse's 58-55 overtime win over Georgetown in the semifinals of the Big East tournament.
In its last year in the Big East, Georgetown had swept the season series with Syracuse, beating the Orange at the Carrier Dome in front of an NCAA record crowd and then embarrassing the Orange 61-39 in the regular season finale.
Syracuse got its revenge with the overtime win over the Hoyas. Brandon Triche, James Southerland and Baye Moussa Keita each scored 13 points. C.J. Fair provided the game's signature moment with a huge slam dunk over Georgetown star Otto Porter during the overtime period.
Why I ranked this team No. 7
It was difficult to slot the 2012-13 team in these rankings. In the team's favor are a 30-win season and an incredible run to the Final Four. To its detriment, there is the 11-7 Big East record and so-so fifth-place finish in the Big East.
This team deserves to be at least No. 7 in the rankings based on the Final Four run. After losing four of its last five regular-season games, Syracuse found itself and won three straight to advance to the Big East championship game and then rode the momentum to the Final Four.
Of the six teams ranked ahead of this team, there are four teams with 30 or more wins, one Final Four team and one extraordinarily talented team that didn't quite win 30 games or make a Final Four.

MOBILE, Alabama — Lance A. Collins moved from Georgia to Baldwin County in 2002 with dreams of going into real estate or restaurants, according to his testimony today at his sister's mortgage fraud trial.
"And I really didn't want to cook fish," said Collins, who has pleaded guilty to federal criminal charges and awaits sentencing.
Collins testified that he lived for a time off the support of his sister, Melissa Gulledge, who was running the ambulance company the pair had started 4 years earlier.
Armed with know-how he had gleaned from no-money-down programs pitched by real estate guru Carlton Sheets and others, Collins started buying Gulf Shores-area condominiums by getting sellers to agree to finance 35 percent to 40 percent of the sales price with second mortgages.
This would allow Collins to take money he got from a traditional home loan and apply it to future purchases, he testified. He testified he then would renovate the condos and sell them for a profit.
The plan worked so well that Gulledge and her husband jointed him in 2004 in his new venture, Tradestone Industries.
But Collins testified that he gave his sister money for down payments on condo purchases she made in her name. Assistant U.S. Attorney Deborah Griffin showed Collins mortgage applications and other documents related to Gulledge's purchase of 4 Gulf Shores condos that ended up in foreclosure.
None of the documents listed a co-borrower and included the names of Collins or his companies. She marked boxes indicating that no one else was providing her money.
Collins testified for the prosecution as part of a cooperation agreement that could result in leniency at sentencing. At times, though, he sounded almost like a defense witness. He repeatedly said he could not remember when Griffin asked him about specific transactions involving Gulledge.
The prosecutor showed Collins bank statements and copies of checks demonstrating transfers of tens of thousands of dollars back and forth between Collins' and Gulledge's bank accounts in 2006 and 2007.
Collins was much more animated when answering questions from Federal Defender Carlos Williams about his motives.
"The whole idea was to acquire real estate with no money down," Collins testified, explaining that he did not set out to defraud anyone.
Collins testified that several real estate agencies rejected his ideas until he found Joan C. Teeters, a Foley agent who agreed to help him find condos for sale. Teeters also has pleaded guilty to mortgage fraud charges.
Collins testified that he bought 10 to 15 condos using the method. He told jurors that he put $18,000 to $30,000 in to the properties to renovate and remodel them. He said he spent $270,000 on one condo and sold it for $885,000.
At first, the sellers and banks got their money as promised, Collins said. If he could not sell a condo, he said, he would rent it out until it did sell.
But Collins testified that he did not anticipate the economic slowdown and crashing real estate market that devastated condo prices.
"The whole world was rocked, flipped over," he said. "The economy slipped — the fastest thing I've ever seen, faster than anyone had ever seen."
Collins testified that he found himself unable to make good on his promise to make payments on the second mortgages he had negotiated with sellers. They lost money while the institutional lenders took ownership of properties via foreclosure.
Collins testified that he would have warned Gulledge if he had realized there was something legally wrong with their business.
"I didn't think I was breaking any laws," he said. "Obviously, I did break the law, and I've taken responsibility for it."
Collins testified that he started his first business when he was just 22 in 1990. At the time, he had a GED and training as an emergency medical technician. He testified that he started an emergency medical services company with a loan that he used to buy an ambulance.
Collins testified that he drove the ambulance while Gulledge handled the billing. Eventually, they grew the business into a company that had a fleet of 17 to 20 vehicles and 130 employees.
When the company started having trouble getting reimbursements from the federal government, Collins said, he shut it down only to start a new business 1998 transporting mental health patients and organs.
Williams resumes his cross-examination of Collins this afternoon.

Mean Time Between Failures: We need a search engine for hate.
Last week's shooting tragedy at Virginia Tech brought back memories for me -- memories I would rather had remained forgotten. Twenty-five years ago I was teaching at Stanford University and one of my students was clearly disturbed. I don't want to dwell too much on the details, but from the beginning there was something odd about him. Then the women in the class began to complain about the kind of attention he was paying to them. The last straw came when he submitted to me a paper that had been plagiarized.
I went to my department chairman, who said I should confront the student about his paper. But how do you confront someone who comes late to class (if at all), leaves early, and won't speak or make eye contact? Eventually the case was referred back to his dean (this was a graduate student), who took no action for several weeks, until the academic year was almost up, and then decided to expel him.
Expel? I never asked for that. It seemed a harsh punishment, so I interceded with the dean and was told the student could graduate but only if I was satisfied with his work. Facing expulsion, he spoke to me for the first time.
People smoked back then and I remember this young man sitting in my office chain-smoking. He would light each cigarette from the butt of the one before it and each smoke lasted almost exactly a minute. I didn't even think that was possible until I saw it.
He begged me to pass him with a 'D' but my terms were firm. He had to complete on his own the paper he had copied and I had to be satisfied that the place where he was going (an internship) knew what they were getting. The night before graduation I sat up with him as he finally finished the paper, graduated, and left my life.
Then the letters began.
I had ruined his life, he wrote to me every few days. It was all my fault -- whatever "it" was.
The year before, a math professor had been murdered with a hammer as he worked in his office late one night, the victim of a former graduate student. I worked late nights, too. My friend Kirk, who was Doug Engelbart's research assistant, rented a room in the math professor's house and I remembered Kirk preemptively harvesting his marijuana crop from the garden when he heard the police were on their way over. That was mildly amusing at the time, but not anymore. As each letter arrived, I became more nervous at work and the building at night seemed to make noises it never had before.
Then the letters ended. My former student had committed suicide, jumping off the Golden Gate Bridge. His father was the mayor of Palo Alto, so of course there was a story in the local paper and an obituary, both wondering how a young man of such accomplishment could come to end his life that way. But I knew.
People fail just like machines do. We break for any number of reasons -- mechanical failure, fatigue, bad programming. But unlike machines, people are not subject to statistical quality control, though maybe they should be. There are probably signs of impending failure we could see if we were looking. Only we don't look, because it never seemed necessary.
What has changed is the failure mode. Twenty-five years ago the failure mode was an unhappy kid killing himself. Today the failure mode is an unhappy kid killing himself and killing 32 other people, too. The stakes are higher but we haven't really taken that into account in the way we, as institutions and adults, respond to these threats.
Imagine how differently you would react if a hard disk head crash in your laptop could not just destroy data but also trigger a small nuclear explosion. I would give up computers entirely.
If the failure mode has changed but the institutions that are supposed to be paying attention haven't, well the only good news is that the rest of us are in a lot better position to pay attention than we were in the past. The Columbine shooters had a web site, you'll recall, that pretty much telegraphed their murderous intentions, and the school knew about it. Virginia Tech, too, became a multimedia extravaganza, though a bit too late. The fact is that these alienated kids are generally not into denying their alienation. They shout it. And more and more they'll be shouting it on the Internet.
There are Internet start-ups scouring the web by the hundreds right now looking for every imaginable form of content or commercial intention, but I'm guessing there isn't a single spider program specifically dragging back signs of hate. Why not? Search the web for hate and vitriol and despair, do some clever parsing and analysis to figure out the where and when, then throw a mapping mashup interface on it all with the simple goal of giving school principals and baseball coaches and worried moms and dads a place to look for trouble brewing in their schools, towns or neighborhoods.
It wouldn't violate privacy, free speech, or any laws because everything searchable on the web is public anyway. IT COULD EVEN BE SUPPORTED BY ADVERTISING. It would be like the program that is supposed to warn you when your hard drive is about to die, only applied to our culture.
It would probably save lives.
No need to have a search engine. Just record the IP of everyone who visits Tech Central Station.
A student I have been worried about asked if he could write about Sean Hannity. The student thought it would satisfy the assignment requirement: find a site on the internet that was put up with the intent to help mankind in a significant way by someone who is offering the fruit of his/her research in a selfless way. I'm thinking health, housing, or food and he's thinking some oddball thing stuffed into his head by a professional troll.
Yes, I agree, what we need is a computer that monitors the activities of all human beings, constantly scanning for aberrant behavior or attitudes.
We should start by compiling a list of telltale behaviors that indicate mentally instability.
Here are my two contributions for the nutcase behavior list:
1) People who file law suits against their previous employers to retain use of a nom de plume when they don't feel comfortable of using their real name of Mark Stephens.
2) Claiming to have a Ph.D when you don't.
Hmm. Isn't it funny that this happens a lot in your country? So, instead of creating your high tech surveillance thingie you should struggle to understand why is it that your "hard drive" burns out so often.
By the way, people are not hard drives.

GRAND RAPIDS, MI -- A 63-year-old Grand Rapids man, already accused of lying to police in connection with a December homicide, has been charged with tampering with evidence.
Robert Stewart McCombs was arraigned Thursday, Jan. 23, on charges of conspiracy to tamper with evidence and tampering with evidence, both 10-year felonies.
Another man, Roger Jay Musick, 38, also has been charged with tampering in relation to the death.
Kent County sheriff's detectives say both men are somehow connected to the death of Steven Carl Day, 54. Day's body was found in snow along 16 Mile Road NE, near Myers Lake Avenue, on Dec. 18.
In court records, police allege McCombs and Day were at the same residence at some point before the man's death. McCombs, however, has denied knowing or ever seeing Day.
Police allege McCombs and Musick were staying at a house on Wealthy Street SE, west of Lake Drive.
Day lived at Verne Barry Place, a subsidized housing complex on Division Avenue in downtown Grand Rapids.
Friends say he collected returnable cans and bottles to get money.
Both McCombs and Music are held in the Kent County Jail on bonds of $250,000.

Royal Caribbean's Voyager of the Seas consists of more than 300,000 steel pieces meticulously assembled after three years of planning, and it was completed in 1999 in the bitterly cold city of Turku, Finland.
On Wednesday, Nov. 16, the Voyager docked at a beautiful new port facility in the town of Falmouth, Jamaica, and was warmly embraced by some of the friendliest, funniest and most gracious people in the world.
"We should reach our destination in 22 Jamaican minutes," said Georgette McCallum, our tour guide for the day, as the shuttle bus bounced down a narrow street (on the wrong side again!) toward the property where Chukka Caribbean Adventures operates a variety of tourist attractions.
The bumpy streets made the New Orleanians in our group feel right at home. On either side of the road, the island nation's poverty was painfully evident: Apparently unemployed people standing around quaint storefronts; tiny cinder-block and clapboard houses, many open to the elements; a man dressed in colorful clothing with plastic flowers decorating his hat leading a donkey in a large T-shirt decked out in the same floral theme; rudimentary signs advertising souvenirs, Red Stripe beer, jerk goat, chicken and pork.
And almost everyone we passed waved and smiled at the sight of another busload of tourists coming to enjoy their tropical attractions. "One love, one life. Let's get together and feel all right." We were glad to be there, happy to hear reggae music on the bus radio, excited about what we were about to experience.
Suddenly the road turned to gravel, then mud, and we were tossed about as we climbed into the hills toward Good Hope Estate, an 18th-century sugar plantation built by a wealthy Englishman and slaveholder.
But before touring the plantation's "Big House," we headed to Chukka's welcome center where we changed into swimwear, locked up our belongings and were fitted with helmets, harnesses and briefed on how to fly through the trees and over the pristine waters of the Martha Brae River.
Zip-lining is a thrilling way to see the countryside: the 120-foot-tall Chinese and Indian bamboo planted years ago to help fight erosion on the island; the Formosan termite nests hanging in the trees, some with holes in them where parakeets have set up homestead, using the builders as breakfast, lunch and dinner; the evil fig vines that grow from bird droppings high in the trees then send roots down and eventually choke the life out of their hosts; the remains of a dam and water wheel built all those years ago to power the sugar and rum operation.
As if our bird's-eye view of all those wonders weren't treat enough, back on terra ferma we launched flotillas of heavy-duty inner-tubes and floated down the refreshing river for a different perspective.
Thiopia, a would-be comedian and Jamaican father of two toddlers, was our propeller and guide, pointing out trees and lizard eggs and crab holes, crows and bromeliads and orchids in the trees above us.
There were thrilling moments in mild rapids and a chance to pause for a dip in the just-right water. We were on Jamaican time again, caught up in the scenery and conversation, so when we reached the end of the float we were running behind. We would have to hustle to tour the estate and take our "Taste of Jamaica" lunches on the bus with us in order to get back to town for the next adventure.
We should have eaten at the tables waiting for us at the 1700s-era mansion and taken a longer tour of the house. Had we known that our next stop - the Captain Hook Pirate Adventure - was going to be such a disappointment, we would have.
The "adventure" took place on a reproduction of an 18th-century Spanish galleon docked near the Voyager and her larger sister ship, the Freedom of the Seas. Let's just say that I've had more fun in New Orleans taxis. The "pirates" were extremely hard to understand, the story indecipherable and the overly loud pop music sequences headache-inducing. Even the kids looked bored.
An hour and a half later, we were back on the pier alongside our home, browsing the cheapest souvenirs and crafts we've seen on our trip so far.
We didn't linger long. The luxurious amenities and comfort of our valiant Voyager was calling.
Just after sunset, at about 5:30 p.m., the horn sounded and we began to pull away from the dock. A grateful group of Jamaicans gathered dockside to see us off. Our resident reggae band kept the rasta rhythm rolling poolside and we toasted our good fortune, thankful that our visit not only entertained us but helped put food on many tables on this beautiful island.
I took a swim before dressing for dinner, with plans to hear more music afterwards and perhaps attend an 11 p.m. poolside barbecue.
At dinner, a Royal Caribbean tradition took place. After dessert, the entire wait staff - more than 108 servers of 40 different nationalities -- gathered on the grand staircase and the second- and third-floor balconies to serenade us with an Italian love song in an amalgamation of accents, none of which was Italian.
It was good to be "home."
Check back on Thursday for another update as we head to sea for a two-day trip back to the Big Easy. Questions? Comments? Enter them here, or shoot me an e-mail at firstname.lastname@example.com.
