The American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) reported that the number of cosmetic procedures performed in the United States rose in 2013. According to ASPS, the number of cosmetic surgery procedures was up 3 percent from 2012 to 15.1 million procedures.
The ASPS said new products and technology may be behind the increase in plastic surgery procedures. New products in 2013 included two form-stable silicone gel breast implants and a hyaluronic acid facial filler, according to ASPS.
According to ASPS, minimally-invasive procedures increased 3 percent in 2013. The top procedure was Botulinum toxin type A, which was up 3 percent with 6.3 million injections.
The number of cosmetic surgical procedures rose 1 percent to about 1.7 procedures in 2013, according to ASPS. The top procedure was breast augmentation, which was up 1 percent with 290,000 procedures.

Floyd E. McNally, Jr.
WILLIAMSTOWN Floyd E. Mac McNally, Jr., 76, of Williamstown and formerly of Brook Street in Barre, died Wednesday, Jan. 29, 2014, at his home, with his family at his side.
Born April 4, 1937, in Barre, he was the son of Floyd E. and Sarah Evelyn (Cartland) McNally.
He attended local schools and graduated from Spaulding High School in Barre in 1955.
After graduation, Mac enlisted in the United States Navy, serving from 1955 to 1975. He served during the Vietnam War and was also stationed on several aircraft carriers as an aviation electrician.

On Nov. 28, 2010, Mac married Elsie H. (Morrison) Anthony. They made their home in Williamstown.
For almost 20 years, Mac was in charge of the boiler and heating plant at the Central Vermont Medical Center in Berlin. He later worked for the E.F. Wall Company as a boiler and heating plant operator. In earlier years, he was an on-call firefighter and EMT for the Barre City Fire Department.
His memberships included the Granite Masonic Lodge 35, American Legion Post 10, and the Canadian Club of Barre; the American Legion Post 3, VFW Brown-Johnson Post 792, and the Mount Sinai Shrine #3, of Montpelier; and the Northeast Fiddlers Association, where Mac and Elsie enjoyed dancing.
Mac was an avid sports fan and loved humor. He enjoyed camping, crossword puzzles, reading and was a Civil War buff. In earlier years, he was a baseball coach for the Granite City Little League, the Barre Babe Ruth League, and the American Legion Post 10.
He is survived by his wife, Elsie McNally of Williamstown; three daughters, Lynn Ayer and her husband, James of Barre, Maureen Guinard and her husband, David and Kathleen Parry and her husband, Justin, all of Barre Town; a son, Michael McNally and his wife, Debra of Phoenix, Ariz.; 12 grandchildren, Ryan and Trevor Cayia, Matthew, Amy, and Jarryd Guinard, Paige, Emily, and Haley McNally, Jenna and Jordan Parry, and Megan and Melissa McNally; two sisters, Frances Williams and her husband, Arthur of Hardwick, and Donna McNally of Barre; a brother, Richard McNally of Junction City, Kan.; a sister-in-law, Julie McAuley of Leesburg, Fla.; numerous nieces, nephews and cousins.

I was very sceptical about buying such a cheap machine as the last one I purchased cost me £2000, but I have been exceptionally pleased with this product and would highly recommend it to any one not needing to do high quantity sorts quickly. Having said that, at this price 2 machines could handle any amount of coins. Shame it can't sort out euros though, they do get through.

Foreclosure counseling can make a difference
Getting help before its too late can be the difference between whether homeowners keep their homes or lose them to foreclosure.
NeighborWorks of Western Vermont is one of five homeownership centers in the state that offer services ranging from home-buyer education classes and home improvement loans to foreclosure intervention.
In the foreclosure workshops that I do, I always recommend that they keep in touch with their lender, said Nancy Gilman, a NeighborWorks foreclosure counselor.
Gilman said if someone is pursuing a mortgage modification its always a good idea, given the complexity involved, to enlist the help of a housing counselor.
According to NeighborWorks, a recent study by the Urban Institute found that homeowners who worked with a counselor were a third more likely to keep their homes with favorable mortgage modifications.
Gilman has had a few successes along with more than her share of frustrations.
She said one case involved a loan modification for a disabled veteran and his wife who owed $370,067 on their mortgage, including past-due payments, escrow and miscellaneous fees not including late fees.
Gilman said the loan modification, which took a year to complete, reduced the interest rate from 7.87 percent to a step rate of 2 percent for five years.
The rate then went up 1 percent a year until it reached 4.5 percent for the life of the loan.
She said all late fees were waived and if the couple stayed current for three years the bank agreed to forgive $110,067 in delinquent interest and escrow, along with servicing fees. The end result was a reduced mortgage of $260,000.
In addition, every year for five years that the borrower stayed current with the mortgage payment, the bank would further reduce the principal under the federal Home Affordable Modification program, or HAMP, by $1,000 a year for an additional savings of $5,000.
In another case, Specialized Loan Servicing (formally serviced by Bank of America) offered a trial loan modification to one of Gilmans clients. The modification would have reduced the principal by $2,395 but required a higher mortgage payment of $1,016.64 a month.
According to Gilman, the agreement also would have required the homeowner to give up the right to apply for any other modification program, including HAMP.
Gilman advised the homeowner to reject the offer. His original payment was only a little over $700 and he couldnt make that, she said. So how could he make over $1,000?
Under the terms of the offer, if the homeowner applied for and did not qualify for HAMP, the mortgage company said it would withdraw its modification offer.
Gilman had the client apply for a modification under HAMP, which was approved with more favorable terms.
She said the payment was reduced to $593, saving the homeowner $423.67 a month compared to the mortgage-settlement modification offered by Specialized Loan Servicing.MORE IN World/National BusinessWASHINGTON Long-term U.S. Full StoryNEW YORK Its not just the musical Hairspray that will air live on NBC tonight.

She's the biggest Seahawks fan he knows.
In 1983, she desperately wanted to attend an AFC Championship event , but couldn't make it because she was very pregnant with him.
Since then, Mike Harris and his mom have enjoyed countless games and events together--but never got to check "Super Bowl" off their list.
In a lengthy YouTube post, Harris writes the family gave up the dream of attending this year's Super Bowl simply because it was too costly.
But a random headline on Bing revealing a drop in ticket prices, changed everything.
Harris plotted to attend the game with his mom and invited her to his house the day the tickets were supposed to arrive.
As you'll see below, he captured her reaction to the unexpected surprise that she would be attending the Super Bowl.
Harris had this to say about this rewarding moment, "Thirty years after she skipped their welcome home for my sake, I was able to return the favor in the biggest way I could ever think of. I'm excited to go see the game, but there was nothing more meaningful than to see my mom's reaction that I've shared in the video."

Obama backs FBI's handling of Boston bombing suspectAP Photo
President Barack Obama said his administrations counter-terrorism bureaucracy did what it was supposed to in the Boston bombing investigation.
WASHINGTON President Barack Obama offered his support Tuesday for the FBIs handling of the Russian intelligence tip about a suspect in the Boston Marathon bombings, but he said the government would determine whether procedures can be improved to prevent future attacks.
Obama rejected criticism that the FBI did not do enough when the Russian government asked it to investigate one of the suspects, Tamerlan Tsarnaev, in 2011. The FBI interviewed Tsarnaev at the time but found no evidence that he was involved in radical activities that represented a threat to the United States.
Based on what Ive seen so far, the FBI performed its duties, the Department of Homeland Security did what it was supposed to be doing, Obama said at his first news conference since Tsarnaev and his brother, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, were accused of setting off bombs at the marathon on April 15. But this is hard stuff.
Obama said that because of the pressure put on al-Qaida and other networks, the danger to the United States seemed to be shifting more toward individuals who become radical without ties to outside organizations.
Those are in some ways more difficult to prevent, he said.
But he said the intelligence agencies were examining what happened in the case of the Tsarnaev brothers to see if changes in policy would make a difference in a future case.
We want to leave no stone unturned, he said. We want to see is there in fact additional protocols and procedures that could be put in place that could further improve and enhance our ability to anticipate a potential attack.
Meeting with reporters in the White House briefing room, Obama also repeated his position that the use of chemical weapons by the Syrian government would be a game changer while saying he wanted more information before deciding whether recent attacks were in fact committed by the Syrian government.
We dont know how they were used, when they were used, who used them, he said. We dont have a chain of custody that establishes what exactly happened. And when I am making a decision about Americas national security and the potential for taking additional action in response to chemical weapons use, Ive got to make sure Ive got the facts.
He added: Thats what the American people expect. If we end up rushing to judgment without hard, effective evidence, then we could find ourselves in the position where we cant mobilize the international community to support what we do.
Obama declined to say whether military action would be among the options he might take should he become convinced that the government was behind the attacks in Syria.
We would have to rethink the range of options available to us, he said.
On other topics, the president rejected the suggestion that his influence has waned with his defeat in pushing through the Senate a gun control measure with 90 percent public support.
Maybe I should just pack up and go home, the president said sarcastically, when a reporter asked about such assertions. He went on to paraphrase Mark Twain, saying, Rumors of my demise may be a little exaggerated at this point.
He also repeated his support for closing the prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, in response to a question about a hunger strike by inmates there.
This is a lingering problem that is not going to get better, he said. Its going to get worse. Its going to fester.
Obama also made a point of praising Jason Collins, the NBA player who declared this week that he is gay. The president had finished with his news conference and was walking away from the lectern when a reporter called out a question about Collins. Obama, who usually does not respond after finishing, swiveled around and returned to the microphone.
I had the chance to talk with him yesterday, Obama said. He seems like a terrific young man. I told him I couldnt be prouder.
He added that it was inspiring to children struggling with their own sexual orientation to learn that Collins could still be a great competitor and be still 7 foot tall and can bang with Shaq while being openly gay.
Everybodys part of a family and we judge people on the basis of their character and their performance and not their sexual orientation, Obama added. Im very proud of him.MORE IN Wire NewsUNIVERSAL CITY, Calif. Full StoryTroubling as the details of the McLaren Report were, a news item out of Russia earlier this week... Full Story

A jar of rhubarb chutney destroyed a British woman's apartment after exploding in her refrigerator.
Margaret Goodwin, 66, had received the chutney as a gift and put it in the refrigerator to enjoy later, the Irish Independent reported.
But five days later, as she was sleeping, the fermenting chutney gave off enough methane to cause an explosion that blew the door off the refrigerator, temporarily lifted the ceiling and left holes and cracks in her walls.
"If I had been standing in the way, it would probably have killed me," Goodwin said, according to The Telegraph.
She initially thought a gas line had exploded, but fire officials pointed to the chutney as the cause.
Turns out, methane gas can become very explosive when mixed with air. Other recipients of the culinary gift have been warned to get rid of it, according to The Sun.

A new DJ school in Brooklyn is teaching babies how to mix and match beats.
The Baby DJ School, which recently opened in the Crown Heights neighborhood of Brooklyn, carries an interesting philosophy about the benefits of learning DJ fundamentals at a young age, according to Time.com. Founder and instructor Natalie Elizabeth Weiss, a professional musician, claims that in addition to learning how to make music, tots also learn to hone their motor skills as they turn knobs and move sliders to create electronic tunes. Kids learn about the equipment, get behind a deck and mix and match musical tracks. Weiss noted that being "hip" is not the goal of this class, but the goal is to expand young brains while they are still developing. "It's going to be easier for me to teach a 3-month-old how to DJ than it is to teach an adult how to DJ because they have especially plastic minds at that age," Weiss told ABC News.

Made by the original manufacturer LIP, this watch is made to the same specifications as the acclaimed R27 watch presented to Dwight D. Eisenhower in 1958 to recognize his efforts to liberate France during WWII.

The watch has been updated with a 17-jewel movement that ensures precise timekeeping, and a window at the three o'clock position displays the date. The splash-resistant watch has a stainless steel case with gold IPG plating and a mineral crystal. The crocodile-patterned brown leather band fits wrists up to 8 3/4".

Scans show amplified pain signals in patients with back pain of unknown origin
Patients with lower back pain that can't be traced to a specific physical cause may have abnormal pain-processing pathways in their brains, according to a new study led by University of Michigan researchers.
The effect, which as yet has no explanation, is similar to an altered pain perception effect in fibromyalgia patients recently reported by the same research team.

The Max Planck Institute for Physics (MPP) is opening up a new research field. A workshop from November 21 - 22, 2016 will mark the start of activities for an innovative axion experiment. Axions are still only purely hypothetical particles. Their detection could solve two fundamental problems in particle physics: What dark matter consists of and why it has not yet been possible to directly observe a CP violation for the strong interaction.
The "MADMAX" project is the MPP's commitment to axion research. Axions are so far only a theoretical prediction and are difficult to detect: on the one hand,...

Questions raised about renewables' fundBy PETER HIRSCHFELD
Vermont Press Bureau | December 03,2012MONTPELIER Since he co-founded the company about a year ago, James Moore has brought on 25 employees to handle growing demand at his thriving residential solar business.
The former renewable-energy advocate credits numerous factors with his early success. But one economic variable in particular, Moore says, has fueled Suncommons growth the 55-cent-per-watt rebate his customers receive from a public fund established by Vermont lawmakers in 2005.
Moore is among the 300 Vermont energy businesses that have derived financial benefits from the Clean Energy Development Fund, and will be among those pushing forcefully for renewed funding in the fiscal year 2014 budget.
The head of the fund is assuming hell have at least $5 million to invest in solar, hydro or other small-scale projects in fiscal year 2014. But Gov. Peter Shumlin isnt making any dollar commitments yet for a pool of money on which renewable energy developers say theyre relying to grow jobs in the emerging sector.
(The rebate) is less than 10 percent of the projects total cost, but that little margin is really, really important to making the economics work for this growing sector, Moore said last week. If it just went away, business would slow down, we wouldnt be able to employ so many people, and fewer Vermonters would be able to afford solar.
The expiration of an agreement between the owners of Vermont Yankee and the state of Vermont has clouded the funding picture for the states largest taxpayer-funded renewable energy program.
Entergy had formerly provided anywhere between $4 million and $7 million annually to the fund, in exchange for the right to store its spent nuclear waste in Vernon. The agreement expired earlier this year.
In a draft plan released publicly last week, Andrew Perchlik, director of the Clean Energy Development Fund, said the fund anticipates an annual appropriation of at least $5 million. Perchlik said last week that the figure was based on guidance issued by lawmakers and administration officials earlier this year.
At a news conference last Tuesday, Gov. Peter Shumlin said its too early to speculate on how much hell propose for the fund, or where the money will come from.
Renewable-energy advocates and business executives like Moore will no doubt be pushing the Democratic governor for a robust appropriation.
Gabrielle Stebbins, executive director of the trade group Renewable Energy Vermont, says the rebates have enabled more than 2,500 individual projects since 2005. Money invested by the fund, she said, has leveraged tens of millions of additional dollars in private investment.
And the benefit isnt limited to the companies benefiting directly from the rebates, Stebbins said. Suncommon, for instance, keeps about 30 contractors busy performing installations for its projects.
The upstream impacts of these investments are really critical, Stebbins said.
Republican candidate for governor Randy Brock this fall criticized the states renewable-energy incentives as a taxpayer-funded crutch for an industry that lacks the strength to fend for itself in the free-market.
Rep. Tony Klein, an East Montpelier Democrat and chairman of the House Committee on Energy who helped form the CEDF, said nascent technologies like the one sold by Moore still need help getting off the ground.
There is a role for government to play, Klein said.
But Klein said the industry will at some point need to learn to ride without training wheels. When lawmakers established the fund, he said, they surveyed leaders in the renewable-energy industry to find out how much financial help theyd need, and for how long.
The consensus was $7 million to $10 million a year for seven to 10 years, Klein said. Were coming up on that, and theres a part of me that says, when is enough enough?
Klein said if the administration can find somewhere to get the money, then hes all for giving the CEDF the $5 million Perchlik has penciled into his ledger.
But at a certain point I worry about dependencies being built and expectations being assumed, Klein said. Maybe it becomes a security blanket.
Moore says he isnt opposed to the discontinuation of subsidies, but not until the industry achieves self-reliance. The decrease in solar subsidies over the past seven years, Moore said, shows evidence of progress. Rebates for residential solar projects have gone from $2.75 per watt to 55 cents per watt.
Its been going down and down and down, and we ultimately think it could and should go away, eventually, Moore said. But ripping it out right now could have a really devastating impact.
Stebbins, meanwhile, said government should make permanent its role in underwriting energy projects through the CEDF. She said massive subsidies for fossil fuels embedded in federal policies make it impossible for solar, wind and other renewable industries to compete on a level playing field otherwise.
If we want to see a movement toward clean energy and towards energy that is locally made and that is not affecting the climate, then were going to have to either level the playing field and take away subsidies and tax cuts for all energy types, or we need to ensure stable funding for programs like this, Stebbins said.

The mayor of Gainesville has entered into a deferred prosecution agreement that resolves his DUI case.
Craig Lowe will participate in a DUI intervention program, which is made available to first offenders with no significant criminal or traffic history. The state attorney's office in Gainesville announced the agreement Monday.
Last month, Lowe was arrested on suspicion of drunken driving after he was involved in a crash. When Florida Highway Patrol troopers arrived, they found Lowe asleep behind the wheel.
Lowe reportedly told troopers he fell asleep while driving.
The mayor will be required to complete all requirements for those convicted of DUI. He'll be monitored for 18 months and give up his driver's license for 14 days.
In a statement, Lowe said he accepts full responsibility for his March 21 DUI arrest, which he called "poor judgment." He said he will complete the program, which also includes 50 hours of community service and an alcohol evaluation.
Lowe will seek to retain his position in a runoff election April 16.

Imagine perfect grid current - the kind you get from large-scale power plants - but from decentralised renewable sources. The Powador 10.0 TL3 to 14.0 TL3 units combine KACO new energy's many years of experience in developing transformerless units with the requirement for perfect grid feed-in. Since they are true three-phase units, they provide high-quality, sinusoidal alternating current with a 120-degree phase shift. These inverters give you extreme flexibility in designing your PV system. They operate using two separate MPP trackers that can handle completely asymmetric loads to allow for optimum adjustment. Each tracker is able to process all of the AC output. This allows for all typical requirements of complex designs to be fulfilled; on the one hand, for example, full configuration of an east / west-facing roof (symmetrical load) or, on the other hand, the regular configuration of a south-facing roof without having to dispense with the solar yield of a dormer (asymmetrical load). The MPP trackers can also be connected in parallel. Installation costs less when strings need to be combined before the inverter. The peak efficiency is an impressive 98 %, but the TL3 realises a very high partial load efficiency in the lower power ranges thanks to the innovative solution for the design and control of the inverter bridge: Even at just 5 % rated power they operate at 95 % efficiency. Cooling is provided by demand-driven fans that are aimed directly at the temperature sensitive components. Download data sheet here

The seats range from an old easy chair dressed as a cozy grandmother to a pew made from doors to a partial-chair that's now totally sculptural. Other seats for auction are ones at theatrical productions, sporting events or a table in a local fine dining establishment. The evening also features live music, hors d'oeuvres and a cash bar. Tickets are $25. Making a reservation would be appreciated and can be done by calling Ann Steinbach at (414) 278-8295 Ext. 5, but it isn't mandatory.

A 90-year-old Florida man is lucky to be alive after spending four days trapped in his car.
His neighbors in New Port Richey, Fla., told Tampa TV station WTSP they feel bad it took them so long to notice something was wrong.
"I had tears in my eyes, because I always watched out for him and then, when something happened, I wasn't there to help him," neighbor John Collins told the TV station.
Justyn Ambrozia broke his arm and hip during a trip to the grocery store last week.
But instead of calling an ambulance, employees helped Ambrozia up and put him in the front seat of his car, Collins told WTSP.
Somehow, Ambrozia managed to drive himself home and even backed into the garage.
But then he couldn't get out of the car.
Day turned into night and night turned into day several times over. Ambrozia said he yelled and honked his horn, but no one heard his cries for help.
Collins was the first person to find his friend, slumped in the front seat and his head barely peering over the steering wheel, WTSP reported.
"When they picked him up and put him on the gurney he was scrinched all up in a knot and everything," Collins said.

Somehow This Doesn't Seem Like a Win
The Angels "won" their arbitration case with Jered Weaver today. The Angels Ace and 2010 Strike Out Leader was seeking $8.8 million and the Angels offered $7.365 million. Call me crazy, but this doesn't really seem like winning to me. The Angels want to keep Weaver in Anaheim – I know I want the Angels to keep Weaver in Anaheim! They began initial long term contract negotiations with him earlier this month. I didn't really expect a long term contract to materialize this offseason. I know. I know. How could Weaver and the Angels ignore my "it's almost my birthday" argument? Oh well, as compelling as that argument was, Weaver does have one more arbitration eligible year before he is eligible for free agency at the end of the 2012 season. I imagine making a deal now seemed too soon from Weaver's perspective for him to be able to command the salary he is going to want from his next long term contract.
However, you would think, especially after there was so much conflict and ego bruising surrounding Weaver's initial contract signing, that the Angels would want to throw him a bone now, if for no other reason than to earn goodwill this early on in the proceedings. Seriously, what's $1.435 million to a Major League Baseball team? Especially this offseason and after the 2010 season Weaver had? Especially when the Angels got off comparatively easy with several of the other players' contracts? I don't think it was too much to ask at all.
I'm not really upset about this, more disappointed than anything. And, I'm not saying that "winning" this arbitration case chips anything in stone with Weaver other than the amount of this season's contract. I just think there's a time when taking a hard line is an advantage and a time when it might actually be detrimental and this has the potential to be the latter. I loved Lyle Spencer's article on the arbitration case outcome. He doesn't come out and say he thinks the Angels acted unwisely – it is a news piece after all. But the article states the outcome and then goes on to sing Weaver's praises for the next 10 column inches or so. Well played.
Admittedly, I've only started paying attention to the details of contracts, arbitration and such in the last few years. I hated this side of the game as a kid when, typically, I didn't want business and money to cloud my pure enjoyment of the game. I grudgingly accepted this side of the game as an adult when I started paying attention to baseball again and became really interested as the fervor of my fandom increased and I started working in finance, go figure. I guess what I'm saying is that I'm interested in the financial aspects of team decisions but would not yet claim to be knowledgeable. So if I'm looking at this the wrong way, please let me know. In this case I'd actually find it comforting🙂.

Arbitration to me always seems a little awkward, since no one knows the feelings of the independent panel or who they like or dislike. I have always been told that from both team and players perspective that arbitration is not something they should take personally, it's a feeling out process over a couple of years to determine the numbers that should be discussed for the long term.
I am not sure how a player cant take it personally though and I don't understand them ignoring your birthday argument.🙂
If I were a player I'd be sulking after an arbitration hearing, where the team states all the reasons why you're not worth what you think you're worth. But somehow everybody manages to forget it all and move past it once the season starts. It's just business, unfortunately.
Peter – I get that it's just business, though I agree it would be hard not to take it a little personally. I just question the wisdom of arguing all of the reasons you want to lowball a guy when you're going to do your darndest to persuade him not to accept other offers and stay with your team in a short amount of time…and thank you for understanding the wisdom of the birthday argument.🙂
Jane – I sure think it would make me sulky.
As you said, all that extra $1.435 million would do is add to the amount Weaver would be paid this year. It really doesn't boost–or hurt–the Angels' chances of signing Weaver when he is a free agent. However, if he puts up great numbers again this year and the Angels are still stingy in contract negotations…well, then, you might have a problem.
Just discovered your blog through Halos Heaven. Very nice! I'm enjoying reading.
Catherine – True, next year's contract negotiations will count for a lot more. With the whole Carl Crawford deal fresh in my mind though I hate the idea that the team spent time arguing why Weaver doesn't deserve as much money as he wanted when we're getting closer to the point where other teams are going to be wooing him with promises of offers to come.
Lana – Thanks Lana! Pleased to "meet" you.
Arbitration hearing are tricky.
Teams want to come in showing the success their young players have accomplished, but that effects their bottom line with higher salaries and possible outragious amounts given.
So the team has to go in with the negatives at the ready to comabt the higher dollar figure and chip away at it like an ice sculpture. Hopefully the player and their agent know the team is doing due dilligence and not trying toalienate them.
The best hearing are ones where the team and the player can shake hands both in the media and in person after walking out of the arbitration room.
Hopefully, Weaver knows the admiration the Angels have for his talents, and possibly there will be future discissions to keep him there long…after the 2011 season.
Rays Renegade
Yeah, when I heard about this I was scratching my head. Seems like the Angels would have been better served to placate their star pitcher, especially since their respective numbers were so close… hope this isn't a bad omen going into the new season. Everybody knows the Halos need a bit of a boost to compete this year and stay healthy.
I wouldn't be surprised to see Weaver and the Angels agree to a longer term contract before the spring is over. Sometimes both teams and agents use the arbitration process to set the baseline for a contract.
I think it would be wise to have signed Weaver to an extension for the remainder of his abritration eligible years and possibly one or two years beyond that. He's a good pitcher and I know a lot of teams would like to see him as a free agent in the future.
When that much money is involved, what's really the difference between a little more or a little less? It's still more money than I'll ever see, that's all I know…
'Minoring In Baseball'
Rays Renegade – The reporters didn't say what everyone's attitude was at the end but I hope Weaver and the Angels were able to shake hands in private after this!
Jeff – Yeah, it doesn't make a while lot of sense at all, but I'm sure it's not any kind of omen, bad, good, nice and accurate or otherwise.
Russel – I sure hope this is the case. A long term contract later this spring would be great.
Ron – This is my feeling as well, and definitely for the two years or so beyond.
Mike – This is also true. Heck, I'd love to get the difference between the sides' salary requests.🙂
Nice to see you in the top 50! I feel better about losing my initial spot when good people like you are listed. Thank you for the link. I will return the favor.
Thank you Thomasox! That's very sweet of you to say. I think the fact that you were in the top 50 for the shorter date range they initially posted means you're really close and will be back up there soon, especially with more readers coming back to the blogs as Spring Training starts. You're welcome! And thanks again.🙂
Thanks for pointing me out the new top 50 list to me. First time on the list for me and it's because of you and others that have stopped by and left comments.
Congrats also to you for being on the list.
Money…Blah! Free-Agency…Grrr! ARBITRATION…Hssss!
Because I love Baseball so much, it forced me to compartmentalize everything about. Doesn't say much, does it? What do I know? ….I just woke up. I'll be OK
(…and a belated welcome to the neighborhood).
Russel – You're welcome! And thank you very much🙂
Mike (bklyntrolleyblogger) – Thank you for the welcome and for dropping by and commenting! Brooklyn Trolley Blogger is a great name by the way. Yeah, I would prefer to leave the financial aspects out of the game, but it gets harder and harder not to pay attention and it is interesting in the end, albeit very frustrating.

Paging Through: Mysteries
My parents are snowbirds (when the snow flies, so do they) so they often read this column after it has run. They've recently returned to their Brookfield nest, and my mom wasted no time influencing this month's recommendations. After finishing Susan Elia MacNeal's "His Majesty's Hope" (Bantam, $15), the third in an engrossing WWII series, my mom said, "You need to recommend this and the author needs to write faster."
Maggie Hope, the series hero, has dreamed of becoming a spy ever since she was a "typist to Prime Minister Winston Churchill" and then a "maths tutor to the Princess Elizabeth" at Windsor. As the Nazis tighten their grip across Europe, Maggie gets her chance. Thanks to her secret training (including lessons from a "Glaswegian safecracker"), her keen intelligence with codes, and her "big stones" (as the Brits say), Maggie is recruited to an elite group of spies to infiltrate the offices of the Nazi hierarchy. »Read Full Article

Do you have a passion for games and the desire to be a part of the Blizzard Entertainment team? If you're looking for an exciting internship or a great job right out of college, this could be the place for you!
Blizzard Entertainment's University Relations Program provides internship and full-time employment opportunities for students interested in development and non-development roles. The University Relations team partners with schools and universities in identifying and fostering talent to meet our current and future hiring needs.
Welcome, and thanks for your interest in Blizzard Entertainment's university relations program. Blizzard Entertainment was founded in 1991 by three recent college graduates looking to build a future doing something they were extremely passionate about: making games. Although the company has grown tremendously since then, we've been able to maintain a consistent approach to game development over the years by hiring people who share that passion.
Finding the best person to fill any particular open position at Blizzard Entertainment is always a challenge. Through this program, we'll be collaborating with certain schools to give students more opportunities to learn about the industry and to develop their skills. With luck, this will also give us the opportunity to identify talented new individuals to join our teams.

Advanced Trackback Validation
Eliminate fake trackbacks by checking to see if the IP of the computer that is sending the trackback matches the IP of the site being mentioned inside the trackback.
Go even further and parse the originating page to see if it actually has a link to your site on the page.
The plugin also has advanced fake trackback checking for sites using dodgy plugins that add hidden links back to your site to get a trackback.

Don't annoy your readers by forcing them to enter complicated captcha challenges.
A simple checkbox is all that is needed from your readers to confirm that they are not a bot.
Bots and scripts cannot see this checkbox so they can't tick it!

- Title
- Translating theory into practice: using action research to introduce a coordinated approach to emotional care
- Author(s)
- Williams, A. M.; Dawson, S. S.; Kristjanson, L. J.
- Abstract
- This paper describes a translational project that explored the feasibility and effect of introducing a coordinated approach to emotional care. The project was undertaken using Action Research on one ward at St John of God Hospital Subiaco, Western Australia. A senior Registered Nurse was appointed to provide the leadership and direction to staff regarding emotional care and an education program for staff was provided. The project was evaluated using both quantitative and qualitative data. Data demonstrated an increase in the patient's evaluation of emotional care, although levels were found to fluctuate throughout the project. Factors such as the emotional distress of the staff were hypothesised as impacting on the delivery of emotional care. The approach used in this project was found to be a useful method of improving emotional care. However, the data collected in this study revealed the complexity of emotional care delivery and the possible impact of a number of factors within the environment. Emotional care delivery can be improved by using a coordinated research-based educational approach led by a clinical champion. However, the impact of other factors within the hospital environment needs to be considered and more research is required.

Tame Impala anything but at Turner Hall show
Kevin Parker's perfectionist tendencies went into overdrive on last year's "Lonerism," psychedelic band Tame Impala's sophomore full-length album. Besides insisting on playing nearly all the instruments in the studio, Parker mixed the album two times, flying from his native Australia to New York on both occasions, to get the details just to his liking.
Tame Impala didn't have the luxury of do-overs and fine tuning in its sold-out, 85-minute Turner Hall Ballroom set Sunday. And if Parker attempted to bring that obsessive craftsmanship to a live setting, he would run the risk of sabotaging the set's potential for spontaneity. »Read Full Article(1)
'Rep Lab' cooks up mixed batch of one-acts
In her curtain speech before Saturday night's sold-out performance of "Rep Lab," Sandy Ernst - who oversees the Milwaukee Repertory Theater's justly acclaimed intern program - made clear that the Rep simply couldn't stage its shows without each year's crop of two dozen interns.
But even as we routinely note these interns' presence - in smaller roles, as extras and in program credits, where they are listed as understudies and assistants - we rarely get to really see what they can do. Now in its third year, "Rep Lab" - short plays showcasing intern actors, directors, choreographers and designers - lets us appreciate how good they can be. »Read Full Article

An artist who visited Oahu late last year has caught the attention of officials from the Department of Land and Natural Resources.
Known simply as Eoin, the artist from Dublin, Ireland spray painted several pillboxes at the Ka Iwi State Scenic Shoreline and Ka'ena Point State Park with his signature female eyes that appear to be gazing at a distant horizon.
"I'd probably put it down as scenic art," Eoin told KITV4 in November during his visit to Oahu. "It really wouldn't be street art or graffiti in my eyes.
Eoin began seeking out desolate, unforgiving landscapes for his paintings after drawing his first set of "eyes" in the Irish town of Bantry as part of a beautification project. The piece received so much positive feedback that Eoin began painting more of the murals -- on abandoned buildings, broken-down cars and even rock formations.
"Things just kind of lined up and it kind of made sense for me to put my work in those places," he said. "That's where I feel it's most connected."
Eoin said reaction to his pieces at the two Hawaii state parks have been almost entirely positive. He also said he knew better than to paint rock formations, having been told native Hawaiians would consider it desecration.
"The reason why I chose the pillboxes was they were put there on the land; it was a man-made thing added to the landscape," he said. "The reaction to it is great, like everybody can relate to what it is and take their own interpretation from it."
However, officials at the Department of Land and Natural Resources view Eoin's art in a completely different light, preferring to call it graffiti. Under Hawaii Administrative Rule 13-146-32, "No person shall intentionally or wantonly destroy, injure, deface, remove, disturb, or possess in any manner any public building, sign, equipment, monument, marker, or other structure."
"It's an unauthorized activity in a state park, and therefore, is in opposition to our rules," said DLNR director William Aila. "Some people might think it looks pretty and it looks artful, but it's still there without permission and it doesn't fit in the theme of a natural park."
Eoin's artwork at the Ka Iwi State Scenic Shoreline has already been painted over by DLNR staff, but his murals at Ka'ena Point remain. If the artist were still on Oahu, he could face DLNR fines of up to $200 for each pillbox he spray painted. Aila says wiping out graffiti is a constant problem for the state agency, and it drains both dollars and manpower.
"It detracts from the normal maintenance, (and) it takes away money that could go to upgrading toilets," said Aila. "It takes away time from our people to take care of landscapes, so any graffiti is unnecessary."
Eoin said his goal with the Oahu pillboxes was to inspire, and he never meant to break any rules. In fact, he'll often go out of his way to leave natural landscapes as they were after taking photos of his artwork.
"If there was to be trouble, I have no worry about going and painting over them," Eoin said of his pillbox pieces. "It's purely as a positive message for people to enjoy. If people are hiking out to these places, would they rather see a lot of scribbles on the wall, or something that they can connect with, or take photos with?"
Eoin has been steadily gaining recognition for his art and is currently planning a very large mural (100 feet by 20 feet) at the peace lines in Belfast, a series of barriers in Northern Ireland that separates Catholic and Protestant neighborhoods.
"I'm very excited for that piece and the series of large works it will be accompanied by," Eoin wrote in an email to KITV4.
Eoin was invited to Hawaii last fall by 9th Wave Gallery, a collective of local artists based in Waialua on Oahu's North Shore. "It's not a dog-eat-dog kind of thing you know, everybody's kind of supporting each other," said Eoin.
Artist raises eyebrows with use of WWII pillboxes in Hawaii
