Nothing is going to change in the North West mens Leagues as there is no extra penalties for not travelling. The season itself should be a little better as teams will have had an off season, but weaker teams dont travel so i can only see teams getting marginally more home games.
The top division has lost its better clubs so the overall competition is weakened, the whole structure is weakened so i cant see it getting much better.
If there were 4 teams joined the Cumbrian League everyone would of benefited everyone in terms of players and finance.
Name one club that is in a better position now than they were 10 years ago.
Apart from Hindpool

I remember when .............................
"It is impossible not to feel a twinge of sympathy for Workington Town, the fall guys this season for the Super League's determination to retain it's European dimension, in the shape of Paris. While the French have had every assistance to survive, the importance of having a flagship in a heartland area like West Cumbria has been conveniently forgotten." - Dave Hadfield - Independent 25th August 1996.

Whether it comes off or not, I think the guys from Barrow and West Cumbria who are pushing it deserve some credit and support from the clubs as they have recognised there is a problem in the game as a whole and are trying to improve the quality of competition while at the same time reduce running costs for clubs as well as try to ensure that the Barrow clubs especially get home games, which was a problem last season according to this forum.
Posted 06 December 2012 - 01:36 PM
All clubs need to do is look at what they are doing now in which ever league their currently in and ask themselves if they are acheiving anything other than getting by. Clubs used to compete for the top leagues and cups in the country, the effects of travelling for the past 15 years has caught up and the local game needs a shot in the arm.

It,s going to be a lot of travelling on that awful road for the Cents and Island lads,would have been better if another two or three Barrow sides had entered.
Think that people are banking on once the league gets up and running two more Barrow sides will join in 2014 and maybe another two the year after
Posted 26 December 2012 - 10:00 PM
Have none of the clubs even looked into trains? we all know how bad this road is surely the train option must have been raised at at least one of the clubs?i would also hope that there is a few more south cumbrian teams in it next year, would make a cracking league.

Hopefully the other local teams will want the same things next season and opt for the Cumbrian League.
If say ulverston, pioneers and Hindpool did choose to switch then all the clubs would then benefit from the new structure, hopefully after the pilot season the league will be able to offer a professional well put together proposal to the remaining local clubs.

05/24/2016 - High BMI is a risk factor for cardiovascular disease in adults but researchers wanted to see how early this affect started. The study found that high BMI in adolescents may increase the risk of cardiovascular disease later in life but it is too early to make a firm link.
04/20/2016 - Low back pain is a common complaint that can last a few days or weeks or become a chronic condition with significant impact on well being. Treatments can vary depending on the cause. A recent study found that exercise alone or in combination with education was most effective for preventing low back pain.
03/31/2016 - Seasonal allergic rhinitis results in uncomfortable symptoms, such as sneezing, itchy and watery eyes, and sinus pressure and congestion. The best treatment approach is avoiding allergen exposure but it can be difficult with certain allergens. A recent study showed that nasal filters were effective for managing seasonal allergic rhinitis.
02/23/2016 - Earlier research has suggested that long working hours may be linked to stroke, but the evidence is limited. This study found that employees who work long hours have a higher risk of stroke than those who do not.

Distant quasars serve as distant lighthouse beacons that shine through the gas-rich "fog" of hot plasma encircling galaxies. At ultraviolet wavelengths, Hubble's Cosmic Origins Spectrograph (COS) is sensitive to absorption from many ionized heavy elements, such as nitrogen, oxygen, and neon. COS's high sensitivity allows many galaxies that happen to lie in front of the much more distant quasars to be studied. The ionized heavy elements serve as proxies for estimating how much mass is in a galaxy's halo.

The future of cancer therapy?
I was contemplating writing a post along the same lines as Harriet's post about evolutionary medicine last week, but then on Sunday morning I saw an article that piqued my interest. Sorry, Harriet, my response, if I get to it, might have to wait until next week, although we could always discuss the usefulness (versus the lack thereof) of evolutionary medicine over a beer or two at The Amazing Meeting in a few days. In the meantime, this week's topic will revisit a topic near and dear to my heart, a topic that I tend to view (sort of) in a similar way as Harriet views evolutionary medicine, namely personalized medicine or the "individualization" of treatments. It's a topic I've written about at least twice before and that Brennen McKenzie wrote about just last week. In essence, we both pointed out that when it comes to "complementary and alternative medicine" (CAM) or "integrative medicine" treatments for various conditions and diseases, what CAM practitioners claim to be able to do with respect to "individualized care" is nonsense based on fantasy. Science-based medicine already provides individualized care, but it's individualized care based on science and clinical trials, not tooth fairy science.
Serendipitously, this point was driven home over the weekend in an article by Gina Kolata in the New York Times entitled In Treatment for Leukemia, Glimpses of the Future. While the story is basically one long anecdote that shows what can be done when new genomic technologies are applied to cancer, it also shows why we are a very long way from the true "individualization" of cancer care. It also turns out that I've discussed the same basic story before, but here I'll try to discuss it in a bit more detail.

Watch them really disrespect and put Amare outside of the top 100..
If Melo is not top 10, they can expect a very angry letter from me
Melo's April plus Olympic Explosion should thrust him into the top 10 I say as low as 6 as high as 15 BSPN better not bull ****
Think Melo might get a higher then normal rating because of the Olympics
Hopefully it's top ten and more important he plays like a top ten player next year
Melo should be around 10-15 after his performance in the Olympics. He was 15-20 before that.

I agree with Metro, i do think Melo has repassed Nowitzki and probably Ginobili too but thats real close in my opinion. Ginobili has some of the best intangibles i have ever seen, and hes just a really good all around player. Melo's offense is superior but im not sure if its by enough to make up for Ginobili's superior defense, passing, and team player. And I do think Melo is a good team player and passer himself, i just think Ginobilis better at those things
ESPN's 10
New New York
Rose (pre-injury)
Wade or Kobe
Kobe or Wade (toss up)
Why Melo gets the slot above Love and why he makes top 10 over Dirk
1.Melo is a Knick and I am biased towards any player who plays for us!!!
2. Melo plays the post better than both despite they both being PF's and Melo being a SF and both have Melo by 2 inches
3. Melo puts the ball on the floor better than both.
4. None of the 3 are lockdown defenders but Melo is actually the best of the 3
5. Melo average 38 pts per game in the 2 games against The Heat....2 desperation games against The Leagues top Defense and eventually NBA Champion. Dirk 25 pts per game at 40% against the runner-up in scenario.
I can't put Love above Melo because Love has never played on a winning team!!! Melo has consistently achieved playoffs berths over his career, and usually they were 50+ win seasons.
At the same time, I can't even consider the case for Melo over Dirk; Dirk has two Finals appearances and One Big Ring, so as long as his drop-off is not very dramatic (and it was not so drastic last season), I think Dirk is still up there in the Top 10.
I think this is Melo's year to earn that Top 10 spot.
this is "Carmelo Season" dude. he's gonna make Lebron cry.

Class D3 Amplification
The SC-63's Class D3 7-channel amplifier is one of the most powerful amplifiers of any multi-channel A/V receiver Pioneer has ever produced. Keeping the new audio formats of the Blu-ray Disc format in mind, Class D3 takes high-resolution multi-channel audio to a whole new level of immersive performance.
Rated at 125 watts x 7 channels, with a 7.2-channel preout, the SC-63 delivers plenty of power, but it's not the whole story. Where the SC-63 really shows its unprecedented power output capability is when driving multi-channels simultaneously without losing significant per-channel output. Class A/B amplifiers simply cannot match the efficiency of Class D3 as their power output per channel diminishes rapidly when more channels are added to the work-load. This kind of unprecedented power capability allows you to appreciate the full dynamics from any media source in a way never before possible. The ability to drive more channels, simultaneously, means you can fully reproduce all of the dynamics and impact of high definition multi-channel Dolby and DTS soundtracks with up to 7 channels of the highest quality power output available today.
Advanced Qdeo® Video Processing. Picture Perfect Whatever the Source
Using Qdeo processing technology and Pioneer's extensive video know-how makes home theater a truly immersive experience.

And with Pioneer's Advanced Video Adjust , you'll experience the very best in both high-definition and standard definition signals, with a complete suite of advanced image adjustments designed to fine-tune each of your video sources for the best possible picture.
Get Ready for 3D with the Latest HDMI® Technology
All of Pioneer's newest receivers support the latest HDMI specifications. So not only do you get the most out of your existing movies and music, with the SC-63 you're prepared for the new generation of 3D video content. With 7 HDMI inputs, you've got plenty of connectivity options for the growing number of high-definition sources available. The SC-63 also offers advanced HDMI conveniences like Audio Return Channel and Power Save HDMI Standby Through.
Transform your Apple Device into a Powerful Remote Control
Communicating with the SC-63 wirelessly through your home network, Pioneer's free iControlAV2012 app turns your iPhone, iPod touch and iPad device or select Android devices into a powerful remote control for your receiver. The all new iControlAV2012 is fully redesigned, incorporating everything from basic volume and input selection to advanced features like EQ adjustments and Internet Radio control. iControlAV2012 for iPad includes enhanced features like vertical and horizontal orientation, intuitive control of music from networked PCs as well as Internet radio control, and a super- cool finger EQ adjust screen; simply draw the EQ curve to your desired sound preference. New Sound Explorer gives you easy access to experiment with the many powerful sound enhancements the SC-63 offers, like Hi-Bit 24, Auto Phase Control Plus, and Virtual Speaker modes.
Know How and Show How with AVNavigator
Imagine an owner's manual that actually communicates with your receiver. Or that asks you what sources you'd like to connect and how you'd like to configure your speakers, then walks you through the process as you do it.
An industry-first, Pioneer's AVNavigator truly is an interactive owner's manual that takes all the guesswork out of setting up your receiver. AVNavigator uses your networked PC to communicate directly with the SC-63, walking you through speaker set-up, sound optimization, firmware updates and more.

Ideal for Custom Home Theater Installation
The Elite series was designed with an eye toward custom-installed home theater solutions, with features to match. Multi-zone capability with support for Zone2 outputs allows you to watch movies or listen to music in two rooms at once. An RS-232 bus connection allows custom installers access into the "control brain" of the SC-63, for customized remote control development. For advanced custom installation, the SC-63 is fully configurable from a PC set-up program that also allows installers to "see" the receivers settings even from another location. The SC-63 is compatible with popular "whole-house" entertainment systems such as Crestron, AMX, Control 4, Universal, Savant, and RTI, and its IP capabilities allow users to control their entertainment system via a home network.
All this plus support for Pioneer Apps, 3rd party control devices, custom-ready detachable power cord, and IR in/out for universal remotes make the Elite series the ultimate answer for a custom home entertainment solution.

My baby is 11 months old. I would like to continue nursing him until he is about 15-16 months old. However, he recently (about a month ago) got his top teeth in and since then, it has been very painful to nurse. He is not biting me, just sucking with his teeth. When he pulls off, there are teeth marks around my nipple. Before, I just dealt with it. It was a little uncomfortable, but bearable. Now though, one of my nipples is cracked, making it just as painful to nurse him on that side as it was to nurse in the first weeks after birth. I am having to use my Lansinoh cream again, and I dread having to put him on that side.
I have tried putting my finger in his mouth and pushing down (or up) on his teeth to move them away from my nipple. He just looks at me strangely, then goes back to nursing the way he was before. Sometimes it helps for a minute or two, but then he's back to sucking with his teeth again. I don't know what to do, aside from weaning him, which I will only do if my nipples continue to worsen and I can't find any other solution. I've considered pumping on that side until my nipple heals, but he doesn't take a bottle for me very well, and he may just make it worse again as soon as I put him back on that breast. Plus, I'm afraid he may cut/crack the other nipple at some point too.
Do you have any suggestions? All my friends I've talked to never had this problem with their babies.

Final Countdown to the Playoffs: Game 12: Going to Atlanta, looking at both the East and the Wild Card.
The Phillies (83-67) go to Atlanta for the start of their last road trip to the South as they face the fourth place Braves (67-83), who are now in a role they have not been in since the late '80s, that of spolier. The Phillies, thank to the Nationals' defeat of the Mets last night, are now just a half game out of first in the East as well as tied for the Wild Card lead with the Brewers, who yesterday have fired their manager Ned Yost and have replaced him with third base coach Dale Sveum. The three games series will be played at Turner Field and the first game of the series will start there tonight at 7:10 pm Eastern. The Phillies will start this important series with their ageless veteran Jamie Moyer (14-7, 3.68) on the mound, who is coming off a win against Milwaukee on September 11, where he would pitch five and two-thirds innings, giving up only three earned runs on four scattered hits, in the Phillies' 6-3 win. Moyer has won four of his last six starts, with the Phils going 1-1 in his two no-decisions. He has given up three runs or less in seventeen of his last eighteen starts. He will be going for his team leading fifteenth victory while trying to put the Phillies on the winning track for the last leg of the pennant race. The Braves will counter with the rookie James Parr (1-0, 0.00), who is coming off a no-decision in his second career start against the Rockies on September 10, going six innings, giving up no earned runs on five hits, in the Braves' 9-5 win. He will be trying for his second career win in three starts and hoping that the Phillies' bat will be unable to score on him, since this will be the first time that he will face them.
The Phillies' offense seems to have come alive this past weekend, with Jimmy Rollins and Ryan Howard seeming to have returned to their September 2007 forms to lead the offensive attack. Pat Burrell also appears to finally be breaking out of his slump. If the offense can stay hot during the next twelve games and the starters can continue to pitch the way they have pitched for the last several weeks, the Phillies should have no problem grabbing either the Eastern Division or the Wild Card at the end of the month. Everything just now depends on the Phillies taking care of business.
The Phillies are now trailing the Mets by a half game in the East as they continue their four games series with the Nationals. The Phillies are now ahead of the Marlins by five and a half games as the fish prepare for their three games series with the Astros. In the Wild Card chase, the Phillies are tied with the slumping Brewers for the lead in the wild card as the Brewers prepare for an important three games series with the Central Division leading Cubs. Both the Phillies and the Brewers are now two and a half games ahead of the Astros as they prepare to visit the Marlins, and are now four and a half games ahead of the Cardinals, who are preparing to play a three games series with the Reds. The Phillies are right now in the driver seat, determing whether they will be the winner in the Eastern Division or the winner of the Wild Card. Either way, Go PHILLIES!!!!

Good win by the Phil's last night. All I think of when I see them play Atlanta is the pop-up that Kelly Johnson dropped a few months ago. That still amazes me.
I think the Mets need to post those old 'what to do if you someone near you is choking' posters up in their clubhouse…
I thought so as well, although I could have done without Brad Lidge's highwire act in the ninth inning. Any I thought 'Wild Thing' was bad for my heart. Well, let's face it, the Braves are not the champions they use to be.
As for the Mets, hold that thought. I don't think they are going to collapse like they did last year. Just too much of a pest for that to happen. Besides, I think that should be the Brewers posting up those signs in their clubhouse. I mean, they're doing the choking right now.

- Teaching journalistic practice in a convergent media age: innovations and issues
- Author(s)
- Bossio, Diana
- Abstract
- In teaching journalistic practice in the higher education sector, practitioners are increasingly encouraged to highlight the profession's transition to a convergent media age. But what does this actually mean in practice? Looking at both the theoretical and practical development of the new post-graduate journalism units at Swinburne University as a case study, this paper aims to compare the traditionally print-based forms of journalistic pedagogy with 'new media' innovations. In doing so, this paper critically discusses new approaches to journalistic pedagogy, and their consequences for the identity and direction of the profession.

Ink-fatuation: 16 Celebrities Who Are Obsessed With Tattoos
Thanks to celebs like Angelina Jolie and Megan Fox it seems like every celebrity under the age of 30 has an infatuation with getting tattoos; and many stars are beginning to stray from the typical images of flowers, butterflies, skulls, hearts and barbed wire (perhaps the lamest tattoo ever) to having words, phrases and book or poem exerpts permanently injected under their skin.
Some celebs have even gotten a bit obsessed with getting new ink on a regular basis -- most of them small tattoos -- but enough to become a makeup artist's nightmare for those in the acting business.
Others, like John Mayer and Cher Lloyd have opted for full sleeve tattoos, putting them amongst the likes of rockers Motley Crue and celebrity tattoo artist Kat Von D. And while Mayer's sleeve of ink on his right arm is an afterthought for the musician, others like British Idol star Lloyd have proclaimed their love of the medium. Cher says she wants ink all over.
Check out our list of celebrities who are obsessed with being human canvases and marking themselves regularly -- many of whom head right for twitter afterward to show off their painful new artwork...

Atlanta Braves (41-38) at Philadelphia Phillies (36-43)
Starting Pitchers:
ATL: RHP Ervin Santana (5-5, 4.15)
PHI: RHP Roberto Hernandez (3-6, 4.41)
Time: 2:05, Citizens Bank Park
TV: Comcast Sportsnet
Weather: Partly Cloudy, 85
Media: Twitter and Facebook
A Note for Tonight:
The Phillies will be looking to take the first game of a day-night doubleheader against the Braves with Roberto Hernandez on the mound. The Braves took the first game of this four game series last night with a 4-2 victory. The Phillies lineup will be looking quite differently for the first game of this doubleheader with former Washington Nationals catcher Koyie Hill getting the start for the Phillies at backstop and batting seventh. Jimmy Rollins will also be getting the day portion of the doubleheader off as Ronny Cedeno gets the stop at shortstop and will be batting eighth. Manager Ryne Sandberg looks to put some speed at top of the lineup with Gwynn starting in right field and batting second behind Ben Revere. Domonic Brown is also back in the Phillies lineup after not playing last night, and he will be hitting sixth behind Cody Asche.
Revere CF / Gwynn RF / Utley 2B / Howard 1B / Asche 3B / Brown LF / Hill C / Cedeno SS / Hamels P

WOO HOO!!! Triple for Tony! 'bout time!!!
Oh baby!!! That's a good start!
Andrew, are they showing tonight's game on Extra Innings? I don't see it on my guide.
God, SHUT UP and pay attention to the game! The announcers just talked through a double.
His first at bat with the Phils, I think, and they were just chatting through the double.
They are so annoying. If you were at the game last night, you missed the most annoying broadcast of all.
I was home last night, but fell asleep halfway through. Didn't miss anything, I guess; score was already 4-2 when I dozed off.
What I remember from last night's game is that the announcers spent more time talking about the fun they were having in the outfield than they spent talking about the game.
TMac also said it was his first time up in the big leagues. First time with the Phils, but he has 10 years of major league experience.
Ted Turner
Is it too early to not mention that Fausto has a you know what through three?
I try not to mention you-know-whats until the 7th inning stretch.
Ugh. I'm usually a supporter of Howard, but this is awful.
Got the Bronx cheer that time.
Ugh. You can't afford to go down 1-2-3 after an inning like that.
Is it me or did Jamie Moyer seem like he had a couple brewski's last night?
He was very 'chatty".
Regarding the broadcasts.
I miss Chris Wheeler.
There I said it.
At least he had the hair piece.
Mccarthy seems to have regressed and I cant understand what Stairs is saying.
by the way this is a must win game for the Phillies!!!
Will you stop showing pictures of yourself and let us watch the effing game???
ANDREW FROM WALDORF – sorry had to get your attention, and you didn't answer the first time. Do you see tonight's game on you guide? Its not listed on mine. I'm trying to find out if I should make the drive up and running out of time. SO WAKE UP AND ANSWER PLEASE!!!!!
Sorry I am house sitting for someone with a pool and haven't been on as much!
It shows a game but its 7 and it hasn't come on yet. ill let you know.
Drive up to where?????
Game is on here
channel 748 on direct tv
I was hoping could watch big bang and Pocono downs without the hassle of the phils
Is there a stat-coming from behind when down 2 runs or more? Phillies would have to be near the bottom on that one.
Not sure, but they had a stat the other day that Phils were 1-34 when trailing after 7.
Personally, I *almost* always turn the game off if they're down by 3
After yesterday, the Phillies are 1-37 when trailing after 7. The Braves are 1-34. I'm sure both of those are at or near the bottom.
I miss Wheeler as well, but only because he talked enough to keep TMAC doing play by play only and not commentary. I'm not sure that Stairs and Moyer do their homework well enough. It seems to me that if TMAC wasn't constantly prompting them, they'd have nothing to say.
And I'm speaking more about Stairs than Jamie. The truth is that I don't need them when I go to a game, the same holds when I'm watching TV.
Alright, AB has let the wheels com off. I'm headed up for game 2.
Ugh…and here I was worrying that they would lose 4-2 again…
Well, maybe the Braves have used up their run allowance for the night and we'll have a chance in the next game.
Howard is horrible. What a waste of 25 million. I knew it would only be a short time before another Bastardo implosion. This was a double header worthy of forcing one to end it all. Abysmal.
The Phillies are Pathetic….. and the announcers are annoying ….boy do I miss Harry…

Sheriff Larry Busby said his office received a call at 12:16 p.m. Sunday about a body in the ditch along FM 3612, about 75 yards east of the intersection with U.S. 281.
The body was that of a woman approximately 30 years of age, Busby said. No cause of death has been determined, but there were no obvious signs of injury.
Deputies found a voter card and bus pass from Veracruz, Mexico, leading Busby to say that she was probably entering the country illegally and was dumped on the roadside.
On Aug. 4, deputies responding to a report found the body of a Guatemalan in the ditch under the I-37 overpass on FM 799.
Preliminary autopsy results from the Nueces County Medical Examiner's office indicate the man died from dehydration and exposure, Busby said.
"He was probably dumped there from a load of illegals," Busby said.
He said law enforcement officers in Goliad County recent found the body of a Guatemalan.
Busby said he doesn't recall any similar deaths last year, although "two or three have shown up over the years."

Tip it up!
December 6, 2012 —
LAKE HUNTINGTON, NY — Forget the cold of winter—because from now until the Ides of March it's all about the heat in high school gyms, as basketball fires up countless zealots of the rock. While it's true that every sport has its own unique allure, none surpasses basketball for its concentrated indoor intensity.
Tournament play and non-league games are first on the docket.
On November 30, the season got underway as the Eldred Lady Yellow Jackets visited the Sullivan West Lady Bulldogs for the opening round of the Chester Hambletonian Classic Tournament. For Sullivan West coach Pat Donovan and Eldred coach Teresa Colvin, who has stepped up from her prior junior varsity mentorship, this was to be a good first barometer of where their teams were, following just a couple of weeks of practice. The Lady Westies looked to build on their 2011-12 season of early learning that netted just three wins against 15 losses. Eldred's mark of 5-13 wasn't much better, but this year both teams return a number of veterans. Sullivan West returns juniors Sydney Sipple, Krysten Herbert, Marianne Durkin, Hayley Puerschner and sophomore Carly Grishaber. Filling out the small seven-member squad are newcomers junior Kelsey Brockner and freshman Elaine Durkin. Eldred, which has dropped down to Class D, returns seniors Kayla Kelly (out for a few weeks following surgery), Erin Angus and Abigail Ellert. This year, the Lady Yellowjackets also feature junior Jessica Schips, who led all scorers with 17 points in Eldred's 48-34 season-opening win over Sullivan West, Also on board are juniors Samantha Banghart, Nicole Elvin, Hannah Bisland, Rebecca Morgan and sophomore Julia Wilk. Stephanie Lee is a senior, who is new to the squad as well.
Eldred used an 8-0 run at the end of the first quarter to take a 16-9 lead after one period. And they'd never trail again. Sydney Sipple led the Lady Bulldogs with 13 points. Wilk added 10 points for Eldred and Angus had nine in the win. Eldred will play Chester at 3 p.m. on December 8 in the title game of the Hambletonian Classic Tourney. Sullivan West will play Fallsburg in the consolation game at 10 a.m. Defending Division V champion Tri-Valley will host Chapel Field on December 6.

ill never understand how to lift with just your legs and not your back. makes no sense.
"The NY never comes off"
The best way to explain how to lift with your legs is to put emphasis on your legs, make your legs do majority of the lifting. Using your arms as just a way to hold the object.

no shot in hell. especially with Larry as our coach.
I hope the Knicks will try everything in their power to prepare for a run at Lebron after he becomes a restricted free agent next year. Lebron himself has said he wants to be the richest man in the world, he can't do that in Cleveland. Lebron's endorsements would skyrocket in New York!The Knicks should keep most of their young talent and clear as much cap room as possible by the end of next season. Also, Steph needs to be moved before this years trade deadline for draft picks, or an affordable young talented point guard. If there is no major player shakeup this season or next, Lebron could be a Knick.
no shot in hell. especially with Larry as our coach.
#15...So good it had to be retired twice
We've got a better shot at getting Garnett than James and even that's a long shot.
mark my words... Lebron will NEVER be a Knick, so let's not waste our time on a senseless discussion.
Chances are he will be resigned by the Cavs. He's from Ohio and there is no way in hell he won't be offered the max by the Cavs, which is way more than what he will get from other teams. Endorsements? It seems to me he already has a ton.
desde la cuna del chango
there is no way the knicks can clear enough cap room prior to 2050. and there is no way to 'rid' ourselves of 'starbury'. no one is taking him off our hands...Originally Posted by New Beast in the East
riight. just to make it clear, if all stands as is the knicks will be under the cap in 2007...
#15...So good it had to be retired twice
i might be reading it wrong, but the way i see it the knicksOriginally Posted by NYKnicks15
payrol for 07-08 is at this moment at 49m, and that is for the 9 players signed thru 07-08.
now i don't know what the cap will be, but doubt it will be higher then 49m, and i don't think u play with only 9 guys, so thomas (or the future gm) will need to sign other players, pushing the 49m higher, and probably that should tap em out thru 08..
lebron, 21 years old, still known as that kid from ohio who made it to the nba from high school. him coming to ny will tarnish his image, and all of cleveland will turn on him. financially a good move for him, not image wise
The salary cap increased nearly 6 million from last year bro! Also, the NBA uses a "soft" salary cap which allows teams to go over the limit. Most teams go over the limit. It won't be easy but the Knicks can move Steph & other big contracts to clear cap room. I know the Cavs can match offers but King James has power to force a move! Did you know that Spike Lee is very good friends with LeBron's agent & Spike has tremendous Nike connections that could help put a little heat on LeBron to go to the Knicks. There is a chance!Originally Posted by paris401
before you try to jump on me like that paris there's some things you should know. like one, i was just stating that we will be under the cap IF ALL STANDS AS IS we will be under the cap in 07/08. not by a huge amount. just stating we wont have to wait until 2050 to be under it. and number two most importantly, the cap is 52.5 million a year son..yes 52.5 is bigger than 49. so you doubt itll be more than less than it is now???..hmm i think the lesson IS know the facts before you attack
#15...So good it had to be retired twice
calm down... "IF" you read my post i ain't jumping on ya...Originally Posted by NYKnicks15
"IF" you read my post i start it off as saying 'i might be reading it wrong'
if i am wrong... i apologize to ya... ok???
First of all it depends on how things will go in Cleveland in the next nears; if they become a championship-contender, it'll be hard to get Lebron.
next problem: does LBJ want to become a knick? I say maybe, because who doesn't want to
and then there's a little thing called salary cap, but if somehow a sign and trade deal could be done, this won't be a problem.
The Knicks can NEVER sign LeBron outright! They will NEVER be under the cap. So, the only way the knicks can get LaBron is if he publicly states he will not re-sign with the cavs and the knicks jump in and convince the cavs to a sign and trade. Then, if the cavs agree, they will want something back besides an expiring contract so the Knicks would probably have to give up Frye. I would do it as long as he is the one player that they would want beside the expiring contract(s). I would think though that he would stay with the Cavs.
no worries paris. i was just defending my answer...dont take it personal

A man is in jail because he logged onto Facebook from a computer inside a home he was burglarizing and forgot to log out.
Police say 26-year-old Nicholas Wig of St. Paul, Minnesota checked his profile from a home he broke into, and then he didn't log off, reports WCCO.
Homeowner James Wood came home to find cash, credit cards and his watch missing.
He also found a pair of wet jeans, shoes and a belt in his home that he assumed belonged to whoever robbed his house.
Woods told police that he noticed that Wig had pulled up his Facebook profile on his computer. Wood posted to Facebook using Wig's profile, saying Wig had burglarized his home. He shared his phone number to see if someone would call with information.
Wig texted him later that day and the two agreed to meet at Wood's home so that Wig could get his clothing back in exchange for a recycled cell phone Wig had stolen.
When Wood recognized Wig on the street from his Facebook profile, he called police, who then arrested Wig.
"World's dumbest criminal," Wood said of Wig.

A Short Poem for Thanksgiving
In honor of Albert Pujols' second consecutive MVP award, RSBS wanted to congratulate him and his self-proclaimed biggest fan. And when faced by such a daunting task we turn, as we often do, to poetry.
'Twas the eve of Thanksgiving and all over the net,
Writers were scurrying to finish posts and then get.
Jeff sat at home, quietly nursing a beer,
Mourning the end of yet one more year.
Leafing through catalogues and picking out faves,
Hinting at presents that could sure make him rave.
When out in the blogsphere the bloggers set a-chatter
And Jeff knew immediately what was the matter.
His eyes both lit up like a bulb in a fixture,
Then swiveled then focused on a framed Pujols picture.
Picking up Albert and dancing around,
Weeping tears of joy as he fell to the ground,
He toasted himself and thought "This truly is living!
More hardware for Albert, what a happy Thanksgiving!"
7 Comments
Very clever, Allen. I like it! Take care.
I agree with both of the above.
Great job.
And just like fine whipped potaoes and turkey gravy, both you and Jeff should also have the best holidays possible before we again get down to this fine games of guessing here about baseball.
I raise my grog of ale high into the air and wish the fellows and fellowship of RSBS the greatest day, and a bountiful feast.

Hats off
Give the judges a ribbon, too
Through Friday, The Advertiser-Tribune has published four full pages of results from Seneca County Fair judging. Just reading through the entire list daily can take a significant amount of time. But that's nothing compared to the time – and effort – put into fair projects by the exhibitors.
And while we are grateful to those who compile the results and provide them to our extraordinary clerk, Bev Gabel, the rankings would not exist without careful, considerate work by the judges.
So, hats off to the judges as well as exhibitors for providing their time and talents into the various shows. That's a large part of what makes it a county fair.
Thanks for organizing the events of summer
While the 171st Seneca County Fair reaches a climax this weekend, it's a proper time to reflect on the annual event as well as all the other entertaining activities that fill the summer calendar. The lawn socials, parish fests, firefighter festivals, poker runs, bicycle tours and 5K run/walks all have several things in common.
For one, they offer fun, recreational activities to residents and visitors alike. Second, they raise funds for churches, fire districts, charities and sports teams, while giving folks something do to in return. Third, they typically involve a group of volunteers who lend their time and effort to helping worthy causes.
People who direct and manage these volunteers usually contribute words of appreciation in our weekly Bouquets forum, expressing gratitude for everyone who supports their activities. We think it's appropriate also to tip our cap to them for guiding events which fill our summertime with pleasure, amusement and enjoyment.

Cranks and Kranks
From time to time I refer to the constant complainers on Angels fan boards as "cranks." These people act as if they know more about the game than professionals in the business for decades, that they know the most intimate details of trade offers and player contracts, that the owner has an infinite sum of money to spend, etc., ad nauseum.
Occasionally, I'll see one of those people post (on another board, apparently lacking the courage to directly respond here) that they object to my use of the word "crank."
Reading an article today, I ran across the term "krank" which was defined as a term used to describe baseball fans around the turn of the last century.
So I did a Google search on krank and came up with this:
Once the favored term for spectators at sporting events, a term latter supplanted by "fans". By implication, the "kranks in the bleaching boards" think they know more about the sport than do its participants.
"Crank" was given as an alternate spelling and used as an example in this sentence:
"A crank is defined as a man who cannot be turned." —Nature, 8 Nov 1906
Hmmm …
A Wikipedia entry has this to say:
The term "krank" (or crank) is a now-obsolete term for baseball fans in particular, and also carried much the same connotation as both "fanatic" and "fancy", of devoted attachment to something, in this case a team.
So that's where the term came from.
And it certainly seems legitimate for me to use it.

Mr. Smith:
Your website is wonderful and helpful. Please accept my sincere thanks for a well-constructed and very informative effort. I do want to say that you may be unfairly labeling those who see things differently than you. You have in fact resorted to petty name-calling and in this spirit, I must not resist from pointing out that you betray your own lack of learning by your utterly predictable misspelling of ad nauseam. Please be more careful about telling others that they "can not be turned," lest you forget about the beam in your own eye. Again, many thanks for a stellar website.
JD, I have to point out that you're confusing disagreement with self-inflicted ignorance.
I have no problem with someone who wants to disagree, so long as it's based on the facts. Show me a fact that proves me wrong — i.e. the spelling of ad nauseam — and I'm more than willing to correct myself.
I've made it very clear that my criticism of people who are "cranks" refers to those whose egotism won't allow them to realize that maybe they don't know everything in the world about baseball. You need only spend five minutes on the MLB.com Angels fan forum to see many examples of this.
Do you really think I should respect someone who writes, "Bill Stoneman should be fired because he could have got A-Rod for cheap but wouldn't pull the trigger!!!!!" Be honest. That's just plain dumb.
I could give you many other examples, e.g. the people who post "SEASON OVER" threads just because the Angels lose a couple games in a row. Or the guy who posted a thread claiming that "Mickey Hatcher forces the minor leaguers to hack." Or the people who repeatedly post the falsehood claiming the Angels "released" Bobby Jenks even though I've given them the facts over and over. (Jenks was being moved off the 40-man roster to the Triple-A roster and was claimed by the White Sox on waivers.)
The more I learn, the more I realize I don't know. One big reason FutureAngels.com got started years ago was to present people with information unavailable elsewhere — photos, interviews, video. The idea is to present people with the facts, let them see and hear for themselves, so they can make an educated opinion without being fed pablum like they get on so many other sites.
But some people *want* to be fed pablum, because it's easy and simple and they don't have to think for themselves.
Exhibit A: the Mason and Ireland show on KSPN 710 AM weekday afternoons here in L.A. These guys are on a crusade to get Stoneman fired. Swear to God, back in May-June when the Angels had the best record in baseball, these guys demanded that Arte Moreno fire Stoneman — quote — "to show Angels fans he's serious about winning." They proceeded to take phone calls from people who swallowed whole this pablum.
I'm going to speak out against stupidity. Make a cogent argument and we'll talk all day long.
Stephen (may I?):
Thank you for the thoughtful reply. Your misspelling ad nauseam was an admittedly petty criticism on my part. I did so to prove a larger point. I believe that in your zeal to crusade against baseball ignorance, you often commit the same faults of those whom you criticize. If you can easily find posts by those who mindlessly call for Stoneman's firing, I'm sure a little extra effort will find posts that offer more substantial criticisms. I think you have a habit of picking on especially bad arguments and/or comments. You are bright and well-read in baseball issues and more value would come from your selecting more worthy opponents. For instance, the MLB.com forums you cite should probably be avoided altogether.
If someone claims that Stoneman should be fired, or at least is not doing a very good job, he may have a point. Yes, he needs to argue his point. But his complaining alone does not constitute him as a "crank." My goodness, it is every baseball fan's natural right to complain about his team according to the dictates of his own conscience. That must be half the fun of being a fan! I just want to make fair distinctions.
Again, your website is a great service. Keep it up!

Birthing Centers
(page 2 of 2)
However, if complications arise during the pregnancy, labor, or delivery, a birthing center may not be able to meet her medical needs. Mothers delivering in birthing centers receive their prenatal care from the providers who attend births at the center. The birthing center pre-screens mothers for risk factors such as hypertension and diabetes.
A good birthing center should be staffed by experienced midwives and have an obstetrician available for consultation and who is on-call for emergencies at any point during pregnancy, delivery or postpartum.
It's best if the center is close to an area hospital so you and/or your baby can be transported quickly if an emergency should arise that cannot be handled at the birthing center. When interviewing a prospective birthing center, be sure to ask about the qualifications of the staff, what kind of care to expect after delivery, and their policies on the use of anesthesia (can you choose to have an epidural), narcotics, fetal monitoring and other medical interventions.
To find a birthing center near you, go to the American Association of Birth Centers.

She had just been notified that some of her photos would be appearing in the August/September 2012 edition of the Texas Parks & Wildlife Magazine.
The three bird photos were all taken on the Bee County ranch owned by Bernie and Cindy Seger during the 2010/2011 Coastal Bend Wildlife Photo contest.
Probably the best of the three photos was a stunning shot of a barn owl flying straight at the photographer.
The other photos were of a Green Kingfisher perched on a branch and a Snowy Egret wading in its favorite habitat in search of a fish dinner.
"The barn owl also will be shown at the Beeville Art Museum during the month of August," Smith said.
The photo will be part of the museum's Texas Artist Exhibit from Aug. 4-25. A photo of a "Texas Night" star field also will be on display.
That second photo won fourth place in the Coastal Bend College Art Exhibit last October.
"I'm so blessed," Smith said. "And very humbled."

An Open Letter to the St. Louis Cardinals
Stop it.
Just stop it.
You are embarrassing me. You are embarrassing my family. You are embarrassing yourselves.
My sister was at your game in Houston on Monday night. Ya know, the one against the LOLstros. The first one where you didn't score any runs. And despite your recent slide against terrible, terrible teams, she still went to the park all decked out in Cardinals gear.
She could've used a security detail trying to get out of there.
That's what it has finally come down to in 2010.
What is more frustrating than anything else isn't the losing. Look, I know. Baseball teams lose. Even the best teams lose four out of ten. That's the game. That's baseball.
But when you lose you look like you don't care… like it doesn't bother you… like it's just another day.
The wheels are coming off and we're not gonna shut up about it until you start looking like you give a damn. I guarantee you the folks in Cincinnati do. Yes. Finally, they have something to care about; and here we are, a confused, spiraling, spoiled Cardinals nation who thought we could just mail it in until the playoffs…
Well, that ain't gonna cut it.
I hate to sound over dramatic, but the time has come for some over dramatic butt-kickin' 'cuz there ain't much time left!
So go out there and remember that we'll always love you, as long as you give your best, tireless efforts.
…and a bazillion other serious Cardinals fans.

While your writing letters send one to that club in Philly for me…. Been busy will be back T it this weekend I hope….
Sent from my idiotPhone
We'll see what I can do, Peter. You know how close Ruben Amaro and I are. LOL.
I hope they hear you. Now you know why I was driven to the brink of divorcing the Yankees. They drove me mad!
Jane — I completely know how you felt.
Prince — Saw that. Not lookin' good. Not lookin' good at all.
I understand totally the urge to push the Cards to the side and look for a new obsession in the post season that will not break your heart. You are welcome to come sit on the Rays band trolley along with the millions of other out-of-town fans who will flock to us in the coming weeks.
No judgments, no agendas, just got to love the game in all its glory.
I got your ticket if you need it, but hopefully the Card will shake off their Rip Van Winkle ways and awaken in time to save their chances.
Rays Renegade
Thanks, Cardinals, for making the remainder of the baseball season, stress free. Since you have decided to throw in the towel at the beginning of September, I can sleep better. I won't be anxious about the remainder of the season, as I would have been in a close pennant race. And the Wild Card race is out of the question too. I don't have to waste time reading Internet sites about the Cards. I won't stay up late watching games that go past my preferred bedtime. No fretting about if the pitching staff is good enough, will Lohse get back his mojo, will Colby get out of Tony's doghouse, will the pitcher hit 8th of 9th. How about time spent worrying about if Pedro can hit his weight, can Ryan hit his weight (and he's a skinny little dude), can Skippy hit a lefthander, is Winn better off the bench than Stavinova, was Westbrooke worth losing Ludwig?
None of that matters now. I can buy a Sam Bradford jersey and hope for more than one win by the Rams. Or maybe read a good book or two. Or become a Reds fan (Go Scottie Rolen!)
Astro's player Jeff Blum, after completing three game sweep of the Cardinals today: "Their backs are against the wall, not ours, and it didn't look like they wanted to come out and beat us," Blum said.
Maybe Brandon Phillips was right, and the Cardinals are just whiny little female dogs?
mpiperlcpc — That was a beautifully written comment. Thanks for taking the time to do so. The truth rings loudly…. oh boy… our Birds are in trouble.
Kind of like when a ball gets through Aaron Miles legs and he casually jogs after it? And he's certainly not the only one. Is it too much to ask for just a small amount of EFFORT? Simply put, the Reds are hungry and we are not.
– Tiffany
Tiffany — Yeah. That's another good way to put it. Unfortunately.

Only a handful of Pennsylvania Power and Light (PP&L) customers remained without power in Wayne and Pike counties by Tuesday morning, a week after Hurricane Sandy blew through the region leaving 23,923 customers in Wayne and 19,665 in Pike in the dark. With power restored, repair crews from faraway states started home or headed off to other areas stricken by the storm where people were still waiting for power.
In PP&L's 10,000 square-mile service area, more than 400,000 customers were without power for some duration. Utility crews from across the country responded to the company's call for mutual aid.
At the height of repair efforts about 3,500 workers were out in the field, a number more than three times the utility's normal physical workforce. In addition, another 2,500 people were providing support services to the work crews.
The hurricane caused "very significant damage to our infrastructure," PP&L's Pocono Area Regional Director spokesman Paul Canevari reported. "Utility poles snapped off at the base. Equipment was destroyed. Crews were not just repairing, but had to rebuild entire sections of power lines."
Predictions are that the storm would be costly. "Beyond poles and lines, storms like this typically also impact equipment including transformers and fuses," Canevari added. "And clean-up around our system will continue for weeks." In addition, PP&L is keeping an eye on the nor'easter that's expected this week.
Fortuitously, some summertime planning by PP&L to identify potential sites for a staging area for support services in an emergency really paid off. Last week as the storm bore down on the Upper Delaware region, a sprawling support facility was hastily built. More than a parking lot for utility trucks, the crew center was capable of housing 500 repair people. Huge trailers served as bunk houses. Other services included a dining area, laundry trailers, shower facilities and toilets.
A 6 a.m. visit on Monday to this so-called "man camp" at the Wayne County Fairgrounds revealed hundreds of out-of-town linemen and other crew members with approximately 75 electrical utility trucks all waiting to be deployed to continue their essential work. Most of the men here came from Kentucky—Louisville, Lexington and other towns. Nearby a cluster of trucks from Blume Tree Services, a division of Asplundh, found crew members also waiting to learn where they would work on Monday. These men had come from as far away as Memphis, TN and Houston, TX.
By 6 a.m. on Tuesday, the staging area at the Wayne County Fairgrounds was empty with little sign of the army of repairmen who had been there just 24 hours earlier.

White's Valley
DescriptionWhite's Valley Cooperative Wildlife Management Unit (CWMU) is about 26-27 km northeast of Tremonton, Utah in Box Elder County, on the westside of the West Hills. Higher elevations are on the eastside of the unit ranging from 6000 feet in the south to 6700 feet in the north. Lower elevations are on the westside, ranging from 5300 feet in the south to 5700 feet in the north. Broad Canyon is more in the north and ranges from a low of 5700 feet on the unit to a high of 6000 feet. The canyon that includes Indian Trail ranges from 5300 feet to 6200 feet. The most common elevation is 5500 feet but ranges from 5100 feet to 6700 feet with an elevation difference of 1600 feet. Fifty-three percent (53%) of the CWMU elevation ranges between 5600 feet and 6200 feet an elevation difference of 600 feet.
Much of the Whites Valley Cooperative Wildlife Management Unit (CWMU) is covered with Inter-Mountain Basins Big Sagebrush Shrubland (48). On this Shrubland are some large patches of Great Basin Pinyon-Juniper Woodland (37). Invasive Annual grassland (121) and Inter-Mountain Basins Montane Sagebrush Steppe (62) are a minor part of the unit's land cover.
One of the White's Valley Cooperative Wildlife Mangement Unit (CWMU) nearest weather stations, THIOKOL PLANT 78 (428668), is about 13.6 km south from the south edge of the CWMU. THIOKOL PLANT 78 has forty-five (45) years of records, 1962 - 2007. During the FALL (September, October and November) the average precipitation is 3.59 inches, but it can be as high as 8.85 inches or as low as 0.50 inches. During the 91-day FALL period, 18 days will experience greater than or equal to 0.01 inch of precipitation, 9 days of greater than or equal to 0.10 inch, or 2 days of the greater than or equal to 0.50 inch of precipitation. Snowfall during the FALL averages 2.8 inches but can be as high as 18.8 inches. FALL temperature at THIOKOL PLANT 78 averages 48.0 degrees F. but can be as high as 98.0 degrees F. or as low as -17.0 degrees F. During the FALL, 47 days will be below freezing (32 degrees F.) and 3 days above 90 degrees F. This map is provided for general reference only and does not constitute a legal hunt boundary. The Division does not guarantee access to any private or public land. Hunt unit boundaries may include private property or other excluded areas.

We had our twins at 34 weeks, a month ago. They spent 9 and 12 days in the NICU. I have been EPing since they were born. They are getting all BM with 1 tsp of Similac Neosure per 130ml.
Our Pedi is useless. She did not tell me anything about how long they will need the extra calories. They each gained 1 pound from week 2 to 3, and now we do not go back till November 30th.
I have been trying to get them to nurse, but even with the nipple shield they are lazy. They just fall asleep as soon as I get them latched on. DD3 is tongue tied, so she is VERY hard to latch. I keep trying though!
My question is.... how long will they need to be on the added formula.

Monticello - Chancellor Livingston LLC, previously designated by the County Legislature as the preferred developer for the East Broadway Redevelopment Project (The former Apollo Mall property and the former Landfill Phase II property) has notified County officials that they are withdrawing from this project. Sullivan County will recognize their withdraw, and the County Legislature will consider options that will move the development of the area forward.
"The Chancellor Livingston project will not proceed further, however, I want to recognize the efforts that the principals of Chancellor Livingston had undertaken to realize a shared vision for the redevelopment of the East Broadway area of Monticello," said Scott B. Samuelson, Chairman of the Sullivan County Legislature.
The County had developed Requests for Proposals (RFP's) after the County obtained title to the former Apollo Mall property through a foreclosure process that followed lengthy court action. Two responders to the RFP presented their vision and proposals for the site. After a number of hurdles were satisfied, the County Legislature recently adopted a resolution that would permit the transfer of title to the Sullivan County Funding Corporation, a move that would provide an environment for the marketing of the area to national retail organizations.
"The County Legislature will consider options that will move the development of the County Seat forward," added Samuelson. "The sustainable economic growth of our County, with positive contributions to the County's sales tax revenues, and meaningful job creation is a top priority for this Legislature," said Samuelson.
"The completion of the improved Exit 106 of Interstate 86/State Route 17 certainly makes the East Broadway area, particularly the former Apollo Mall property and the former Landfill Phase II property in a prime position for development," said Alan J. Sorensen, Minority Leader of the Legislature.
"The redevelopment of the East Broadway area will be a regular subject at the meetings of the Economic and Community Development Committee", said it's Chairman Legislator Ira Steingart. "There should be renewed consideration given to the proposed project that was submitted to the County by Butch Resnick, as well as, the potential of an updated Request for Proposals," said Steingart. "The County will dedicate the resources necessary to move this process forward to bring about the much needed sales tax revenues and job creation that would be associated with the redevelopment of the area," said Steingart.
"The County will take immediate steps to ensure that the County Seat realizes the renaissance that was started with the completion of Broadway and the completion of the improvements to Exit 106. We look forward to the previously announced Concord project by Entertainment Properties Trust moving forward, and the potential of the redevelopment of East Broadway moving forward in a timeframe that will benefit the Citizenry and business community of Sullivan County," concluded Samuelson.
[The above is an unedited press release from the office of county manager David Fanslau.]

Joliet, Ill. - State School Superintendent Randy Dunn
visited today with Joliet Public Schools District 86 District
Superintendent Phyllis Wilson as well as the board of
school inspectors, local legislators and other community
leaders to discuss construction projects in the Joliet
school district.
"As part of their 2001 application for state funding,
Joliet school leaders envisioned funding to be used for
the construction of two elementary schools and five additions
to existing buildings," Dunn said. "As we can
see here in Joliet, many of those needs have not been
The Joliet school district is still waiting for $26.7
million in state funding originally promised in 2002.
The local share of the projects was originally projected
to be $10.4 million.
Earlier this month in his State of the State address,
Governor Rod Blagojevich renewed his commitment to a variety
of projects, including school construction.
In all, the governor has called for $500 million for
school construction projects, including:
"There are 975 students here at Hufford Junior High
School. And as you can see, the school is dependent on
two modular buildings to hold four classrooms of students.
This is a growing area, thus this situation and the need
for classroom space is likely to grow more serious,"
Dunn said. "And the costs of construction continue
to rise, so every day of delay is costly."
"I commend the district educators for doing what
they can with these facilities, but it's clear that it
is time for the state to step up and do its part with
regard to capital funding for school construction,"
he said.
"If we're going to give our children the education
they deserve, we need to do better."

Charting the successes and missteps of placemaking in Milwaukee
Some of the more inventive art ideas coming out of Milwaukee these days are as likely to show up in a crosswalk or defunct rail line as they are in a gallery or museum.

Young critters emerge
June 12, 2013 —
A year ago, I received a phone message from a homeowner in reference to an eagle that seemed to be stuck in a bush near his home. I called the homeowner back and, after a few minutes of conversation, it was determined that the eagle was in less peril than was first thought. It turned out to be a fledgling young eagle that just picked the wrong landing spot; it extricated itself to find a more suitable perch.
All over the region, young animals of all types are making their first appearance into the world. In some cases, these young seem to wind up in perilous or awkward situations and question arises on whether to intervene or not. The answer to this situation in most cases is to let the young animal be. That young bird on the ground may have just fledged out of the nest and is likely getting ready to find a more secure perch. The young fawn, seemingly by itself, may have a mother watching from a distance; deer frequently put a little distance between them and their fawns so as not to attract attention to the fawns until they get some strength in their legs and are able to travel easily.
There are cases where an animal may have to be moved out of harm's way. A young turtle, for example, can be placed on the side of the road, but put it on the side of the road it was pointed so it does not try to re-cross the roadway after you leave. If an animal appears injured, contact your state wildlife agency, or a local wildlife rehabilitator. Be aware of your own safety and size up any hazards before doing anything along a road. Most of the time, young critters find their own way out of trouble and should be left alone.
Some more information about young wildlife can be found on the NYSDEC web page at www.dec.ny.gov/animals/6956.html.

Just wondering if anyone else has experienced this, my dd has gotten a fever every month starting July 4, 2007. Then August 5, 2007, I got my first period after having her (her dob is April 6, 2007) and the next day she got a fever again. September 6, 2007, same thing she get a fever and I start my period. Now this month October 3, she is supposed to get her 6 month immunization and wakes up with a fever. The last two months the fever was not as high as the first time, and this time the high temp didn't last as long, but fever is still there and almost exactly one month to the day apart. Also almost always within a day of my period starting. Is there a connection? Is it an influx of hormones going through her system? I have just started her on rice cereal, and only 1-2 tbs once a day. Other than that she is exclusively breastfed, and eats very well even through the fever.
There are no other symptoms, just a high fever and sometimes drooling. If anyone has any info I would appreciate it. I thought at first that it was teething, but every month? It just seems to coincidental.
Thanks Jerrabear
