PLAINVIEW, Texas — Coming off a four-game Lone Star Conference weekend series against Central Oklahoma, the Eastern New Mexico University baseball team had a quick turnaround Monday against Wayland Baptist.
The Pioneers, ranked 11th in the NAIA, got two home runs each from second baseman Brett Cook and shortstop Vinny Blancamano and rolled to a 20-4 victory over the Greyhounds.
On Sunday at Greyhound Field, ENMU salvaged its series finale with Central Oklahoma, pounding out a 17-12 victory over the Bronchos.
ENMU did not use any regular pitchers in Monday's game. Instead, third baseman Derrick Kennedy started on the mound and took the loss, with catcher/designated hitters Paden Vendrely and Freddy Carmona working in relief.
None had been used on the mound this season.
Cook went 4-for-4 and was hit by a pitch from the leadoff position while Biancamano, batting third, was 3-for-3 with a walk. They combined to score six runs and drive in nine, and Sheppard was also credited with a steal of home.
ENMU (22-26, 15-21 LSC) scored in the first on Clayton Young's RBI single, in the third on Carmona's sacrifice fly and in the fifth on a two-run homer by right fielder Ethan Wagner. The game was called after 6 1/2 innings because of the 10-run rule.
In Sunday's game, the Hounds overcame a two-home run, eight-RBI performance from Central Oklahoma's Tyler Carroll, who hit a three-run homer in the third, a two-run single in the fourth, a two-run homer in the sixth and an RBI single in the ninth.
The teams combined for 37 hits, 20 by the Hounds. Everyone hit safely in the ENMU lineup, with seven players collecting two or more hits, and all had at least one run scored and one RBI.
ENMU led 6-0 after two innings, saw the Bronchos (32-19, 23-16) pull to 7-6 in the fourth, then pulled away with five in the bottom of the inning, capped by Wagner's two-run single.
The Hounds tallied in each of the first seven innings and carried a 17-9 lead into the ninth. The Bronchos plated three runs off reliever Keith Balderaz, but left fielder Clayton Young made an over-the-shoulder catch of Michael Pollack's long drive with the bases loaded to end it.

Ohio Northern University to observe Constitution Day with showing of Fourth Amendment documentary
Ohio Northern University will observe Constitution Day with a showing of "Search and Seizure: Mapp vs. Ohio," a short documentary from The Constitution Project, in the Dicke Forum on Monday, Sept. 30, at 2 p.m. The event is free and open to the public.
This documentary explores the Fourth Amendment case Mapp vs. Ohio, in which the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that evidence illegally obtained by police is not admissible in state courts. This 1961 case redefined the rights of the accused. Following the showing of the documentary, Bryan Ward, ONU associate dean and professor of law, will conduct a question-and-answer session to discuss issues arising from search and seizure.
Ward joined the ONU Law faculty in 1999 after five years in the general practice of law with a focus on bankruptcy and commercial litigation in Troy, Ohio, and the greater Dayton, Ohio area. Ward teaches in the areas of criminal law and criminal procedure and writes in the areas of criminal sentencing and criminal procedure. Ward also frequently gives continuing legal education presentations in the areas of legal ethics and professionalism as well as legal issues affecting churches. He was member of the 2008 Fellows Class of the Ohio State Bar Foundation and served for two terms on the Ohio Supreme Court Commission on the Certification of Attorneys as Specialists. He currently serves on the Ohio Supreme Court Commission on Professionalism.
The screening of the movie and the discussion are held in accordance with a federal mandate passed in 2004, which stipulates that every school and college that receives federal money must teach about the Constitution on or near the date of Sept. 17, the day the document was adopted in 1787.

You and I need to enter into an agreement before you read further. This is an agreement of trust and understanding. I want you to have a good time, and you, in turn, probably want to have a good time. You came here to laugh and maybe learn something. I want to impart knowledge and laughter. Maybe a few titters. Because of this, I need you to trust me. Naysayers will no doubt ruffle their dick feathers and insist that my motives in this article were impure, and to that I say tits. Tits and butts and penetration and grunting.
I went to an orgy for the purposes of writing a comedy article.
I include this disclaimer at the beginning here because the moment I hatched this scheme, the very first person I told (my writing muse Xenia, who works in the office with me and is in her late 20s, is divorced, has a teardrop tattooed on her face that she refuses to talk about, and is as sexually frustrated a person as I have ever met) called me a bullshit liar and said that, if I do go to an orgy, it'll be because I want to go to an orgy, and if I write an article afterward, so be it. Is she right? No. Maybe. Yes? The human subconscious is a sticky wicket at the best of times, so when it's subjected to sticky things, whether wicket or otherwise, all bets are off. But my intent was to write an article. Because when would I ever get the chance to do this again? As it turns out, I could get the chance once every month. But never mind that. Onward!
Pre-Game Show

Sometime in June, I had a raucously hilarious idea for an article that involved responding to Craigslist "Missed Connections" ads in a way that would revolutionize comedy and maybe force a money tree to grow in my yard. As I set about researching this terribly brilliant and unique idea, I noticed the same ad twice, once on Craigslist and once on another classified site -- it was an ad for a local party held on the first Saturday of every month. Everyone was welcome, it assured me. Singles, couples, straight, bi, or Nancy Grace. It was a melting pot of humptolerance. It was like the Starship Enterprise with all phasers set to pork.
I continued with my Missed Connections until it became clear that every hilarious missed connection ad you have ever read about was probably fake and planted by the person who brought it to your attention and, by and large, missed connections ads are a terrible oubliette of despair and shame that should never be spied by the eyes of the righteous and sober. But that hump ad still had my attention.
Brand X Pictures/Brand X Pictures/Getty Images
"That's a good hump ad!"
I made a fake email account, because I was already mired in abashment and self-disgust at doing such a thing. I have secretly always hoped orgies were organic events, like you have a bunch of sexy friends over, most of the women elected to wear lingerie, and, wouldn't you know it, I'm so irresistible that we absolutely must have sex on the fruit tray I put out. Nice. But I guess that's nothing but a beautiful dream, and the depressing reality is that modern orgies are just strangers who clicked over from Missed Connections and thought, "I could do some hole," then sent an email.
I sent an email and was somewhat creepily surprised to get a reply within five minutes. The Orgy Lord must have notifications on his phone or something. Anyway, his name was Paul and he had been holding these parties every weekend for almost 10 years. Anywhere from 40 to 60 people attend, there was a charge of $25 at the door to cover expenses (I later found out expenses are condoms, lube, and porno), it's cool to just be a wallflower, no one ever "has" to do anything, and you should bring your own drinks. Also, you will be naked. Like as soon as you show up, you have to be naked.

"Sword fight! Look, Earl's got a softie sword!"
You see in movies quite a bit where protagonists have an actual moment in which they need to take stock of life and make some kind of choice, a decision that will irrevocably alter their path, their very destiny. You may think this is a bit of melodrama, a whisper of Hollywood ephemery that means nothing and is not real. To that I say: Are you willing to get naked for comedy?
I spent an entire month and then some debating this very question, as one orgy of strangers passed and a second approached. Could I get naked for comedy? What if some dude grabbed my ding dong? What if the light coating of fuzz on my ass is not actually normal and I am ostracized? What if every lady in the place looks like Bea Arthur? What if I'm hideous to them or, somehow worse, what if I'm the most attractive person there? That wouldn't be good for any of us.
Basically my choice came down to this -- get naked and maybe write an article, stay clothed and write a sequel to a farticle I had previously written. I drank three homemade margaritas and dropped my pants (symbolically, mind you, as I was home alone), and I said fuck it. I would do it.
I emailed Paul and said I would like to attend. His reply took about three minutes. His address and a request for wine instead of beer, if I wouldn't mind. I did. But I never said so. I just put my pants back on and shook in my seat for a while.
The Preparations
Hemera Technologies/AbleStock.com
I had just under a week until game time, and that made it all the worse, as I don't do well with anticipation, or whatever that feeling is that is like anticipation but less positive. Dread? I don't do well with dread. I could back out, but how would that be funny? On the other hand, what if some dude grabbed my ding dong? That question plagued me nonstop. And here's the thing -- it's not due to homophobia, it's entirely due to grossophobia. What if it's a dude with a big, cruddy beard and unclean fingernails? His massive, callused hands yellowed from smoking, his eyes rheumy and spiderwebbed with tiny, red veins as he ogles my supple young body. He moves toward me, ample hips swaying like a slow motion Santa Claus caught mid-Macarena, as his flaccid member sways about like a golf ball in a nylon stocking pinned to a fence post in the breeze. Oh, for fuck's sake.
I drank a lot that week, I'm going to be honest. It's when I wrote that horror mashup article, could you tell? Lots of drinking.
The day came and I found myself feeling gripped by terrorhea, those shits you get in moments of panic. I took some Immodium and two showers and washed my already clean clothes before heading out to get wine. I drove to Paul's house and sat in my car across the street for 15 solid minutes, listening to the greatest hits of today, yesterday, and whenever on the radio, before deciding to man up and do this shit. The man who answered the door was wearing a brown bathrobe and had a ponytail and glasses so thick, you could use them to see through time. But of course.

Your World Connected - The i880 by Motorola
Being a previous owner of this phone and owning it for almost a year, I have to say that this device is, quite frankly, the best I have ever owned. I only switched to the ic902 because I moved to an area where the Nextel iDEN service is not available but Sprint CDMA is.
1. Solid Build - I've dropped it quite a few times, not even so much as a scratch! Are you sure its not rugged Motorola?
2. Direct Talk - Off network walkie talkie is perfect for communicating where the iDEN network does not exist (provided you're within 6 to 7 miles of the reciever).
3. Fastest Push-to-Talk Network - Give up Verizon! With over 13 years of experience, the Nextel iDEN network has you beat!
4. Wonderful Speaker Quality - Enough said on that.
5. MP3 Player - Nextel isn't always about work, you know.
6. Lightning Fast Data - Even at its slowest its faster than Cingular's 3G speeds.
7. Perfect Pictures - With a 2.0 Megapixil camera, I've always had crystal clear photos. Plus the flash can double as a handy flashlight!
8. Rich Screen Detail: Wonderful quality for viewing the pictures you just took.
9. Precision GPS: Pinpoint accurate so you can know where you are any time you want.
- None -
I've never had any issue with this phone that couldn't be resolved with a call to customer care or just power cycling the phone.

Extremely capable in context of multimedia phones as well as durable ones. Quick performing software (R6E.00.01) with incredible screen size and bit rating. Stereo speakers are really loud and boasts a podcast playback ability (important). Keypad has a perfect rigid play to the buttons and lights up vibrantly in the dark. Best phone made by Nextel yet. Reception is outstanding in my market Reno, NV and Nextel is my service provider.
*Large, Bright screen
*Great Camera, with awesome flash
*MP3 player plays Podcasts
*Large outside Display
*Outside play features for MP3
*Amazing Stereo Speakers
*User friendly software
*Rigid keypad
*Phone feels stable in hands and is very durable

*Beautiful Design, and paint job
*Rubber bumps to prevent screen scratching
*Strong hinge and auto flip ability

Magnificent Phone, and I'm not really a Nextel fan either
So here's my story. You may recognize me from my scathing review of the (IMO) awful i730 on that phone's page. I was prepared to drop Nextel altogether in favor of Cingular for our business (we have 27 phones). I was seriously just about to switch.
But along with price, the i880 changed my mind. I am telling you, this is the first and only time I have been impressed by just about anything I've seen from Nextel. Nearly all of their phones are complete garbage compared to their competitor's offerings, and I honestly never thought I'd say this, but the i880 is one of the best phones I've ever used, from any carrier. It is responsive and quick, well-made, small enough, comfortable, loud and clear, it sports good reception, GPS, tons of useful software, and above average battery life (WAY above average in terms of Nextel phones... don't believe the numbers here. Battery life is mistated on the spec sheets. It's actually something in the neighborhood of 5 hours of talk time--not 2.7).
I don't have much time to go into detail, but there honestly isn't much I don't like about this phone. The camera is surprisingly good, though I rarely use it. It supports Bluetooth, and, of course, the ubiquitous PTT and off-network Walkie Talkie features. But it feels nothing like the typical Neanderthalic Nextel. It's just a great phone all-round from what I've experienced so far.
If you're thinking of switching--and I never thought I'd say this--give this phone a shot first. If you can score it on retention pricing, you can get it for much cheaper than the outrageous prices you see advertised.

Amazing Phone
I got the new I880 right when it came out and I still have and it because it is a all around phone. It does everything you need to.

Lights on PTT and MP3
Large internal and external screen
Push to open
Battery life
Tough back cover stops scratches
MP3 player w/ Podcast
You can only send limted things and the pictures that can be sent can not be set up as ur wallpaper. Same thing with ringtones bluetoothed ringtones can not be set as your ringtone.
But besides that Amazing PHONE, Highly reccomend it, Trust me you will be impressed

Nextel i880
This is an excellent piece of equipment on an excellent system.
1)"DC": For all you on other companies; SHOW ME HOW THE 2-WAY RADIO WORKS on: GSM? CDMA? I thought so! Nextel can connect across continents in .003 thousands of a second. Try that with GSM.
2) Nextel is for BUSINESS, got it? It is not for your snot-nosed kid to text message on or download pink ring tones only. It is a tool box for professionals.
3) Clear loud audio.
4) If you are dropping calls, then stop your car and finish your call where it works. The point of communications is to reduce the amount of time it takes to convey intelligence, not to allow you to pick up on chicks without dropping a call. Nextel delivers VM messages, or pages, or data point to point in seconds. Communications is not convenience.

This potato salad isn't made with mayonnaise. Instead, the potatoes are tossed with a light herb-seasoned vinaigrette.
1 bay leaf
2 tbsp. chopped onion
½ tsp. pepper
1 ½ pounds (about 12) new potatoes, cut into 1-inch cubes or ½-inch slices
2 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
2 tbsp. white wine vinegar
1 tbsp. chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
1 clove garlic, finely minced
1 tbsp. minced fresh summer savory, or 1 tsp. dried summer savory
½ tsp. freshly ground pepper
¼ tsp. mustard powder
Dash of salt, or to taste
Cherry tomato slices for garnish
Bring a medium pot of water to a boil over high heat. Stir in the bay leaf, onion, and pepper; add the potatoes. When the water returns to a boil, reduce the heat to medium; cover and cook for about 8 minutes, or until the potatoes are just tender.
While potatoes are cooking, whisk together all of the dressing ingredients in a small bowl.
When the potatoes are done, drain well and remove the bay leaf. Transfer the potatoes to a large bowl; add the dressing and toss. Bring the salad to room temperature for serving.
Advance Preparation
If not serving this salad immediately after it is prepared, it's best to refrigerate the vinaigrette and salad in separate covered containers for up to 3 days; toss together up to 1 hour before serving.

Hello all,
I started coming here about a year ago I think. I was feeling frustrated with my 2 1/2 year old's constant nursing and came here for advice on weaning. Instead I felt more support and understanding and felt like it wasn't the time really to actively wean her, and ok that I kept going.
I disappeared for a while after they changed the username/password system (my computer had some glitches that frustrated me into not logging on). And now I'm back, quite some time later! But my little nursling has finally decided (at 3 3/4 years old) that's she's too big for nursing now.
We've had nearly a week completely free from bf but a lot of cuddling and it feels good!
So thank you!


text: My 7 month old girl is now sleeping through the night, about an 8-9 hour stretch. I would get up every night about 2:30 to pump to keep up my supply and to have milk stored for days that I work. I now have about 70oz. pumped and my daughter is not requiring as much milk anymore and I have an over abundance supply of milk. I am worried that if I eliminate the night pumping my milk supply will diminish and she will not have enough. I have heard that my body will readjust and she will have the milk whenever she needs it. Can someone please help as I am not sure what to do.

Weird weatherJuly 10,2013
Rainy, humid weather has hung over Vermont for weeks, a weird and anomalous concoction of low pressure, high pressure, moisture from the south, storms from the west, all creating a monsoonlike tropical inundation that has flooded roads and farm fields and tested the flexibility of wedding planners and parade-goers.
Around central Vermont, Williamstown residents woke up to shocking devastation on Tuesday; Roxbury, Northfield, Brookfield and Braintree also saw damage caused by rushing water that carved out roads and caused flooding.
Anomalous weather has become the norm, a contradiction the changing climate has forced upon us. May and June were the wettest May and June in Vermont history. Indeed, records have been falling everywhere for years record drought, record heat, record rainfall, record snow. The wildfires in the West have been fed by dry conditions created by years of drought. The low levels of reservoirs there threaten the future viability of cities such as Las Vegas and Phoenix. In Vermont its a good year for mushrooms.
The connection between anomalous weather and climate change is now widely understood. The idea was gaining acceptance at the time of Hurricane Katrina, and that was eight years ago. The psychology of climate change has received less attention.
Bad weather is nothing new; people have endured flood and drought forever. But these tribulations created a different psychological effect before the era of climate change. Long ago people associated nature with the gods. People spoke of respecting the power of nature. Nature was not always benign, but there was a given, unchallengeable quality to it that could be viewed as sacred. Creation is what we called it, which implied an all-powerful creator. The effect of this view of creation was to engender a sense of humility, respect and wonder among people who understood they had to make do with what they were given.
The psychological effect is different now that we understand human beings have had a hand in transforming the workings of nature. Bill McKibbens seminal work, The End of Nature, was noteworthy because it was one of the first books to focus attention on the fact of climate change. But what of that peculiar title? McKibben was speaking about the end of nature as a presence and a power independent of mankinds interference. What is happening now is not the work of nature alone, but also the work of man.
The psychological implications of that difference are profound, fostering social, cultural and political division among people struggling to come to terms with the changes. That mankind has done this to the planet creates a deep sense of unease, anger, regret and sorrow. Those unwilling to admit to these feelings may respond with hostility against those who would assign blame for what we have wrought.
Indeed, blame is so broad as to be meaningless. It would include the inventor of the steam engine. It would include everyone who drives a car. The point is not to indict people or nations, but to recognize reality and to respond in a way that is respectful of mankind and respectful of the planet.
In taking concrete steps to respond to climate change, political leaders encounter fierce resistance from vested interests the coal and oil industries in particular. The political battle will necessarily be fierce. President Obama, blocked by Republicans in Congress in the grip of vested interests, has lately taken bold steps to cut down on the carbon emissions from power plants. Previously, he had acted to curb emissions from motor vehicles.
These are inevitable battles, which will be won, gradually, if the public demands that policymakers free themselves of the hold of big money. Even the Pentagon and the insurance industry are planning for the changing climate.
It will be a great challenge for the coming generations to confront the psychological toll exacted by the knowledge that the disasters caused by the changing climate have a human cause without getting mired in bitterness and recrimination, instead keeping in mind the beauty of the planet and the good of its human inhabitants. Mankind, of course, is part of nature. There can be joy in turning our ingenuity toward respectful stewardship of the world of which we are a part.MORE IN EditorialsPhil Scott will take office next month after winning with a margin of 51.11 percent to 43.

The Color Purple
Dear Elizabeth:
The admission committee has concluded its evaluation of Early Decision
applicants to Northwestern University. I am sorry we are unable to
offer you a place in the freshman class.
They say that everything happens for a reason. People say that college admissions are a crapshoot: if you get in, you got lucky; if you don't get in, you were unlucky. You will end up where you are meant to be.
Once I read my rejection letter, none of that made any difference. None of that made me feel better. I was rejected from one of the best journalism schools in the country. It was quite discouraging, which is why I have not written anything in a while. My whole application centered upon my blog and my love for writing about baseball, and why I love to do it. Northwestern rejecting me was like them telling me that my blog was not good enough; that my passion was not good enough. And really, there is not much worse than getting told that your passion is not good enough.
Getting rejected from college is like having a really good career and not getting into the Hall of Fame. I'm Luis Tiant, and Northwestern is the Hall of Fame. He's a perfectly qualified candidate, who is overlooked.
Granted, the rejection letter did not explain why I was not accepted. In retrospect, if I had to guess, I would say that it was my test scores were not good enough. And if that is the case, then I do not want to go to Northwestern.
If I have learned anything in the past two plus years since I have started this blog, it is that journalism is based on passion. In journalism, passion is paramount to grades, to test scores, and even to writing skills. If you are truly passionate about something, then it will be expressed in your writing. You can be the best writer in the world, but if you're not passionate about what you're writing about, then it's not worth writing about.
I am not asking Northwestern to understand my passion; not many people do. Perhaps they simply do not understand it because my blog is completely independent of my school work. If Northwestern truly was one of the best journalism schools in the country, their mantra would be passion. But if they judge passion solely on grades and test scores, then I was wrong for applying there in the first place.
In my conversations with players, I have realized that baseball goes so far beyond its statistics, and I hope that I have been able to convey this to those of you that are kind enough to stop by and read my blog. Baseball is an art. If we solely look at the numbers, then we do not even crack the surface of what this game truly can mean to us. Similarly, I go beyond my statistics (and so does everyone who applies to college).
Perhaps everything does happen for a reason. The last thing I want to do is go to a school that will neither understand nor foster passion. If Northwestern wants to have a homogeneous class of kids with straight A's and perfect scores, then more power to them. But that is not what journalism is about.
If you presented me with two scenarios right now–the first being that I have perfect grades and scores and I have a ticket to the institution of my choice. The second being my current situation: good grades, not-so-great-scores, but something that I am truly passionate about–I would choose the latter every time. I have something worth writing about.
A lot of you are probably familiar with the "Beyond Baseball" commercial about Dustin Pedroia:
"Too Short.
Too Weak.
Too Slow.
Growing up, Dustin Pedroia was often overlooked, but he used that as motivation to never give up, never give in, and never listen to what they say you can't do.
This is beyond perseverance; this is beyond baseball."
In a way, Northwestern has said something similar to me. But like Dustin Pedroia, I'm going to use this as motivation to never give up, never give in, and never listen to what they say I can't do. Even after college, I know that things like this will happen. The writers I shadowed over the summer said this themselves. There is no one path to where I want to go. There are plenty of other universities with equally renowned journalism programs and reputations. I know that going to a school with a good reputation and connections will only help me. But in the end, it will be my passion that gets me to where I want to go.
In the past few weeks, Theo Epstein has acquired some great players that will play a huge role in the 2011 season and beyond.
The last thing I blogged about was the blockbuster Adrian Gonzalez trade that sent perhaps the best three minor league prospects in the organization (pitcher Casey Kelly, first baseman Anthony Rizzo, and outfielder Reymond Fuentes) as well as Eric Patterson (who was the player to be named later) to San Diego. While this locks up the 2011 season, the Adrian Gonzalez's future in the Red Sox organization is in jeopardy until a contract extension is finalized.
Epstein had never given a player more than a five-year deal in his regime as Red Sox general manager until Carl Crawford's 7-year, $142 million deal. I have always thought that Epstein has been really smart in doing this because there is really no way to tell how good a player will be in five years.
However, in the past few years, teams have been signing players to lucrative, long-term contracts typically between 6-8 years. The way I see it, Epstein has been forced to adjust to the market in order to lock up the top-tier players. You would think that a player would settle for less years and more money, but long-term security has been a deal breaker lately.
Locking up Gonzalez long term (I would say five to six years, but with the recent Crawford deal, anything could happen) is absolutely essential. After the 2011 season, teams will be swooping in like vultures for Gonzalez's services. It will be a huge blow to the organization if the Red Sox lose Gonzalez plus the talented crop of minor league players.
It is quite possible that a deal has been agreed upon in principle with Gonzalez, and the Red Sox are merely waiting until after Opening Day to announce it–exactly what they did with Josh Beckett's 4-year contract extension last year. This would allow the organization to evade an even heavier luxury tax.
Giving up the prospects was certainly hard to do. I thought that Casey Kelly in particular was untouchable. The minor league system, however, has the potential to be restocked in this year's draft. In addition to the top-fifty pick that the Red Sox already have, they will have four picks in the compensatory round due to the loss of Victor Martinez (4-years, $50 million with Tigers) and the impending loss of Adrian Beltre. Because they are both Type A free agents, the Red Sox will receive two, compensatory picks. It is also likely that they will non-tender Felipe Lopez–a Type B free agent–so that gives them another compensatory pick. Correct me if I'm wrong, but that's six of the first fifty picks. Consider the farm system re-stocked.
Casey Kelly was certainly a big deal: he received a lot of hype during Spring Training. Keep your eyes out for Anthony Ranaudo this year. He was drafted in the first round (39th overall) over the 2010 draft out of LSU.
Carl Crawford's 7-year, $142 million deal is certainly a lot of money, but there is no doubt that he is the type of player that you make exceptions for. He is a five-tool player, and considered by many to be the best athlete in baseball. He will play left field (with Ellsbury moving to center, and Drew staying in right), and I expect him to hit either first or second in the lineup. Cameron will be the fourth outfielder, and this gives Ryan Kalish some time to develop in the minors. I would like to see him get some time in right field and improve his arm to potentially be the starting right fielder in 2012 after Drew's contract expires.
Speaking of expiring contracts, this has to have b
een a factor in splurging for Crawford. The Red Sox are coming off of a lot of contracts after the 2011 season including David Ortiz, JD Drew, Marco Scutaro, and Mike Cameron. Matsuzaka's contract is up after the 2012 season.
The Red Sox also signed three relievers expected to strengthen the bullpen. RHP Bobby Jenks was signed to a two year deal worth $12 million. The Red Sox non-tendered the inconsistent Hideki Okajima, so I expect Jenks to serve as a setup man for Papelbon. He had arguably his worst season last year posting a 4.44 ERA, but he has been very reliable in the past. The only thing I do not like is his beard.
The Red Sox also signed RHP Dan Wheeler to a one year deal worth $3 million with a club option for 2012. He has had a consistently good ERA over the past three seasons averaging about 3.25.
The signing that I was not all too crazy about was the one year deal with RHP Matt Albers. He has never had an ERA under 4.00. I am pretty sure that it is a major league contract, but I suspect that he will battle for a bullpen spot during Spring Training.
The only left that the Red Sox have in the bullpen is Felix Doubront, and I am sure that Francona will use him as the lefty specialist (which, as I have mentioned, I do not buy). He is currently the only lefty in the bullpen, so I suspect Epstein will sign a few guys to minor league contracts that will compete for roster spots in 2011.

Bummer, kid. Good luck.
Just a tiny bump in the road Elizabeth. I've no doubt you'll reach your goal. Keep on keeping on !
I like your attitude Elizabeth. Too many college focus on admitting students with the best grades/test scores and then train them to be good workers during the four years they're in school. As opposed to truly find those with passion and develop them to be innovators in their respective field of study. College admissions is a crapshoot and needs an overhaul.
Bets of luck and happy holidays!
Elizabeth-keep your chin up. You have a great attitude, great passion, and great skill. You believe in yourself and you'll be fine. I have never read one negative comment about your writing, but always positive. Granted, we may be just 'bloggers', but we also share your passion for baseball and feel that in your work. That's why a lot of us keep coming back to read your work.
College is a tough road, wherever you go. I went to a community college for two years and got my Associates Degree-that enabled me to get into the college of my choice, and actually graduate in four years (which is almost unheard of these days).
Take care, and I'll see you at Fenway in May.
'Minoring In Baseball'
when i got wait-listed at Syracuse I was crushed. i thought for sure that was the school for me. sure enough my second option Ohio U came around and I love it there. just keep doing what your doing, you're setting yourself up for success. good luck!
Hey … listen to me.
Northwestern is overrated and I'm notsaying that because I too was rejected about 100 years ago when I was going to be the next great journalist. I went on to nurture my neurotic writing skills at the University of South Florida … hardly prestigious. To heck with NW. Continue to ply your craft with the same zeal you have now. You will land acceptance into a fine University that will appreciate your advanced talent and rapier wit … especially at your age and given your on the field experience.
I'm never going to pretend to tell you that a career in that field is waiting to land in your lap. Most journalism is dull and uninteresting. I would encourage you to focus on your writing skills (which are quite good … but no one should ever remain content at the status quo) even if it means double majoring in English & Journalism. Journalism is only interested in bare bones facts whereas writers like Tom Verducci & Roger Kahn seem to weave a type of poetry into their craft. Also remember that ANYONE can self publish now and in my view it cheapens the field of writing in general because it is all so much white noise. Given these obstacles, if you keep your tenacity and zeal you definitely have what it takes to make a dent in this competitive field.
Don't let it get ya down, kid. From one writer to another. Have a Happy New Year!
~ Will
What you have done thus far is nothing short of spectacular, Elizabeth. NW and other schools with rigorous academic standards are too infatuated with their good old boy system anyway. You'll find your place and where ever you end up at for the next 4 years, you will thrive. Get involved and college will be the most rewarding time of your life. It has been for me. Good luck in the process!
They say everything happens for a reason and that when one door closes another opens. Northwestern must not be the place for you to leave your mark. Keep your head up. I enjoy reading your blog and have no doubt you will be successful.
Northwestern's loss. Wherever you go is going to be the receiving school's blessing and gain. The Red Sox have had a tremendous off-season. There's no doubt that, today, they field the best combination of pitching, defense, and hitting in the division if not the league. I look forward to your posts in the upcoming season. All the best to you…and keep writing!
There are great writing programs all over the country,plus you have a pretty good clipfile of stories,photos and even unusual situations already contained on your blog.
Some college today seem to restrict the "out-of-state" students even though they technically pay more in tuition.
Nomatter where youhead for your second tier of education, your writing will speak a lot louder than the institution;s name on your degree.
With the style of writing you currently possess, a articulate professor or dean will see the strengths and abilities you have as a young writer, and the right institution will know how to tweak and make those talents shine like the Florida Sun.

Vermont Organ Donor Registry grows by 700 percent
BURLINGTON — Take my heart, please.
The Vermont Organ Donor Registry has announced an almost 700 percent increase in registered donors since the start of 2012.
The registry and its social initiative Donate Life Vermont started that year with 2,896 registered organ and tissue donors in Vermont, and by Jan. 1 of this year the registry had grown to over 23,000.
The registry, which started in 2010, credits multiple factors for the growth, such as Facebook's announcement this year of a partnership with Donate Life America to spread the word about organ donation.
The registry also partnered with the DMV this year to register when getting an enhanced driver's license.
The registry says more than 116,000 people are waiting for a life-saving organ transplant, and this list includes more than 100 Vermonters.
Donate Life Vermont is looking for new stories to share with the rest of Vermont. If you or a loved one has been touched by organ donation, email your story to firstname.lastname@example.com.
To learn more about the Vermont organ and tissue donor registry, or to register as a donor, you can visit www.DonateLifeVT.org or talk to the Donate Life Vermont team on Facebook and Twitter (@DonateLifeVT).MORE IN This Just InMONTPELIER A new report from a commission that studied the cost, availability and quality of...

The 85th annual Texas FFA State Convention recorded more than 11,000 members and guests. Members of the agricultural youth leadership organization spent the week attending leadership workshops, participating in events and activities, being recognized for their achievements and serving as the legislative body for the Texas FFA Association.
One of the highlights of the convention for George West FFA members was watching their very own Quest Newberry give his officer candidate speech on stage in front of more than 11,000 members and guests in his goal of becoming the next Texas FFA President.
More than $2 million in scholarships were awarded to FFA members and more than 1,700 members received the Lone Star FFA Degree, the highest degree of active membership bestowed by a state FFA association. More than 2,000 members were recognized on stage for their accomplishments.
Kate Jimerson, Ashley Keadle and Quest Newberry were all awarded an $18,000 scholarship, sponsored by Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo. Jimerson, Keadle and Newberry were awarded for their qualifications in academic achievement, leadership, SAE, FFA involvement, financial need and personal interview.
Shelby James, Tara Liska and Cason Newberry were awarded the Lone Star FFA Degree, which is the highest degree bestowed by the Texas FFA. The Lone Star FFA Degree recognizes FFA members who have received the Chapter degree, been active FFA members for at least two years, complete at least four semesters of agricultural science at or above the ninth-grade level, maintain a supervised agricultural experience program, demonstrate their leadership skills and show a commitment to the FFA through involvement at the chapter level and above.
James, Liska and Newberry were one of more than 1,700 FFA members receiving this esteemed degree.
The George West FFA was named as a gold-level chapter for the esteemed Golden Horizon award in the multi-teacher division. The gold-level Golden Horizon award is the highest state rating to be bestowed upon a Texas FFA chapter. Golden Horizon award selection is based on exceptional chapter involvement and activities within the school and community. The Golden Horizon award recognizes well-rounded chapter involvement that promotes maximum participation, in order to deliver all facets of the agricultural education program.
James, Jimerson, Newberry and Bruce Williams were all recognized as a state champion in Livestock Judging. Career Development Events build on what is learned in agricultural classes and encourage members to put their knowledge into practice. These events are designed to help a member prepare for a career in agriculture by testing and challenging the student's technical, leadership, interpersonal and teamwork skills as well as their knowledge of the subject matter.
Members also competed for state titles in public speaking and Agriscience events. In the interest of premier leadership, personal growth and career success, the Texas FFA Association also offered an opportunity for students to compete in the fourth annual Spanish Creed Speaking Invitational Event. The Creed delivery and the five-minute question-answer period were conducted entirely in Spanish.
James placed second in the Texas FFA Prepared Public Speaking Contest. To qualify for the state competition, James advanced through one of 57 district competitions in the state and finished as an area winner or runner-up.
Participants prepare and present a six-to-eight-minute speech about a current agricultural topic. Speakers present their speech before a panel of judges and followed by a five-minute question-answer series designed to test the student's knowledge of the chosen subject matter.
James also served on the Texas FFA Convention Media staff. James was one of 15 FFA members chosen to serve on the Convention Media staff, which consists of the Convention Chronicle and the Convention Report. The Chronicle is the official newspaper of the Texas FFA Convention and is published during the week of convention. The Chronicle staff consisted of editors, photographers, reporters and layout designers. The inaugural Convention Report newscast was also produced by the staff.
The Convention Media staff is a significant commitment that begins at 7 a.m. each day and doesn't wrap up until past midnight each night. It is deadline-specific and requires great attention to detail. The staff underwent a competitive application process to be chosen, and then attended Camp Chronicle, a two-day training session that gave them the necessary skills to succeed as part of the Convention Media staff.
George West FFA members who attended the convention were: James Baker, Bella Chapa, Sarah Crawford, Bethany Davis, Chase Galloway, Matthew Hyde, Shelby James, Kate Jimerson, Jacy Johnson, Alison Katzfey, Kailey Keach, Ashley Keadle, Tara Liska, Blake Mosley, Laney Mosley, Cason Newberry, Quest Newberry, Garrett Pawlik, Darren Rhodes, Taylor Thompson, Bruce Williams and Walker Wright.

Review decision date: April 2016
Review decision:
We carried out an exceptional surveillance review of this guideline and decided that it should be updated at this time. For details, see the update decision, decision matrix and the process for deciding if an update is needed. Details of the update will be available on the guidelines in development webpage in due course. This guideline will be checked again for update at its scheduled time point according to the methods described here.
Next review date: 2019
The advice in the NICE guideline covers:
The care of adults and young people (aged 10 years and older) who have any of the following physical health problems that are completely or partly caused by alcohol use:
- acute alcohol withdrawal (which occurs if a 'dependent' drinker suddenly stops drinking)
- lack of thiamine (also called vitamin B1) in the body, which can cause a condition called Wernicke's encephalopathy
- liver disease
- inflammation of the pancreas (called pancreatitis).
It does not specifically look at the care of:
- women who are pregnant
- children younger than 10 years
- people with physical or mental health conditions caused by alcohol use other than those listed above.
This guideline was previously called alcohol-use disorders: diagnosis and clinical management of alcohol-related physical complications.
Your responsibility
The recommendations in this guideline represent the view of NICE, arrived at after careful consideration of the evidence available. When exercising their judgement, professionals are expected to take this guideline fully into account, alongside the individual needs, preferences and values of their patients or service users. The application of the recommendations in this guideline is not mandatory and the guideline does not override the responsibility of healthcare professionals to make decisions appropriate to the circumstances of the individual patient, in consultation with the patient and/or their carer or guardian.
Local commissioners and/or providers have a responsibility to enable the guideline to be applied when individual health professionals and their patients or service users wish to use it. They should do so in the context of local and national priorities for funding and developing services, and in light of their duties to have due regard to the need to eliminate unlawful discrimination, to advance equality of opportunity and to reduce health inequalities. Nothing in this guideline should be interpreted in a way that would be inconsistent with compliance with those duties.

On the dress: when I was younger and lived elsewhere there was this cramped, little store full of finds from India. It was one of my favorite stores and I liked to buy mirrored purses and quirky jewelry there. Obviously the magpie tendency runs deep as this is many years later and I couldn't resist another shiny piece. This dress is from Built by Wendy and is slightly more demure than a disco ball...

Lauriers Brantford campus librarians move to Grand River Hall, next door to Brantford Public Library
Sep 26/12
The two librarians on Lauriers Brantford campus have moved from their previous office in the Brantford Public Library to new offices in Grand River Hall.
Grand River Hall is located next door to the Brantford Public Library, so the librarians will be close by for Laurier students and faculty who require their support when visiting the BPL.
This move addresses space issues, and will help our librarians to integrate more closely in the Laurier Brantford community, said Gohar Ashoughian, university librarian at Wilfrid Laurier University. It is also a preliminary step towards the creation of a dedicated Laurier Library on the Brantford Campus - an important priority as we look to the Librarys future contributions in Brantford.
Librarian Pauline Dewan is now located in GRH 217, and can be reached at 519-756-8228 ext. 5529 or email@example.com.
Librarian Irene Tencinger is now located in GRH 223 and can be reached at 519-756-8228 ext. 5497 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

After months of discussion, group meetings and input from residents and businesses, the Hawley Borough Council, with one dissenting voice, shot down th e Local Economic Revitalization Tax Assistance Act (LERTA) on February 13 at its monthly meeting. That is not to say, however, that the board will not entertain a hybrid version of the concept.
The question that remains is whether Hawley is considered a distressed area. Also the raising of taxes for residents, while existing and new businesses might enjoy tax abatements, is a concern shared by the entire council.
Perhaps borough council vice president Mary Sanders was most vociferously against it, when she commented, "I already made my sentiments clear, I'm against it." She then went on to state that she did not come to her conclusion lightly and was amenable to a "watered down" version of the very complex bill that has vexed the board for months.
Arguments for and against the proposal have been bantered about for the past three board meetings and have become so heated at times that one planning commission member walked out of that group's January meeting.
"The property owners can re-write their version of it," Sanders said in a compromising stance, clarifying her ideals by saying it may be in the best interest of the downtown business district for some property owners to employ LERTA without the whole district being obligated to enroll.
She did not flatly dismiss the measure, but she did concede, "It's a dream perhaps, but it may not work in reality."
Councilwoman Michele Rojas was not so kind: "It will cause the tax base to crumble," a view that has been shared by tax collector Barbara Middaugh in past meetings. She said that if the measure were passed, at least 50 residents would find themselves out of their homes because of increased taxes.
Councilwoman Elaine Herzog fell somewhere in between when she said, "I'm in favor of certain aspects of it, but I'm not in favor of going back three years." She was referring to Grant and Justin Genzlinger's proposal of LERTA helping with three years of back taxes owed by the Hawley Silk Mill, in which they are investors. The Genzlingers, who have been vocal about the matter in December's and January's meetings, were not present at this meeting.
Joseph Faubel presented the one dissenting view, and it was compelling. "If we can't see a vision for a future and we don't see any possibility to raise the tax base in the borough, then there is no other possibility but to look into raising taxes for everybody. There are vacant lots, there are buildings that can be torn down and new ones put up. Any development would be significant," he said.
Diana Bilard spoke about the challenges she and other seniors could face with higher taxes. She said, "I'm on a fixed income. I know people say you raise a little here and a little there, but there's only so much you can raise. Should everybody be impacted?" she asked. She even questioned the veracity of whether Hawley has structures that are "derelict or abandoned"—two of the criteria of LERTA.
Council president Don Kyzer said that this issue has occupied the minds and times of the council for some time and, "Ultimately, what we're trying to do is satisfy the community."

Daughter will be 8 weeks tomorrow and yesterday it was bad for me. She has been eating constantly since birth and I am hoping she stops doing clustering feeding every hour of the day, but last night was different. She started at 5:30pm and ate with maybe 15 minute breaks until she fell asleep at 10:30pm. I started putting her to sleep at 7:30pm so for three hours I was working on getting her to sleep. I breastfeed in my bed and she falls asleep that way every night.That is our routine. But last night she kept wanting the breast so I give it to her and she hung onto the nipple and would start thrashing like a beach whale. She was complaining and thrashing. I didn't get why she was doing this. My breast is fairly empty I as we have been nursing for a few hours, so I switched breasts and it continued. She wound cry for a few seconds here adn there but mostly complained.
4:30am and she wakes and it continues until now as I plopped her in her swing and she fell asleep.
These are the times I want to quit. She hasn't had formula but I have some in the house. I know I will feel so guilty if I give it to her but last night was horrible. When will she feed every few hours?
Why was she thrashing around and doing this complaining? Help?

text: State budget passed The final state budget for the coming fiscal year includes millions of dollars in cuts to preK-12 education and public higher education, but leaves municipal health insurance unchanged. "We continue to be extremely concerned about the worsening condition of budgets for school districts and public higher education, but we are relieved that our preK-12 members have preserved their rights to bargain over health insurance," MTA President Anne Wass said after the House and Senate voted on June 24. The budget was presented to both branches by a conference committee appointed to hammer out differences between the House and Senate versions. The final $27.6 budget, signed by the governor on June 30, had to cut $687 million more than originally expected because the U.S. Senate has failed to extend a form of stimulus funding called the Federal Medical Assistance Program. Senator Scott Brown is the only member of the Massachusetts congressional delegation opposed to extending the FMAP funding. The MTA joined other unions in organizing a rally outside Brown's Boston office in Government Center Monday, June 28, to urge him to support those funds. Rally photos on MTA's Facebook page. "We badly need both the FMAP funds and new stimulus dollars targeted to education," said Wass. "We are urging Senator Brown to do the right thing. We're not out of this recession yet, and revenues are still weak. We continue to need substantial help from the federal government to save jobs, protect our public schools and colleges and maintain public safety, public health and other services that families and communities need to thrive." The budget identifies where funds will be restored if the FMAP monies are extended by Congress, including restoring $100 million to the rainy day fund, which is rapidly being depleted. Even without the hoped for federal dollars, legislators voted to hold the line on making further deep cuts in education than had been proposed in the earlier House and Senate plans. The final cuts, as reflected in the conference committee version, reduced Chapter 70 funding by $116 million (about 3 percent), public higher education by $123 million (about 11 percent) and early childhood education and care by $32 million (about 6 percent). Because the Chapter 70 cut was previously agreed to by both the House and Senate, school districts have been planning their own budgets and layoffs based on the final figure. The higher education funding is below the level previously approved by the Senate but slightly above the House budget level. The early education cut was deeper than contained in either the House budget or the Senate version. The Senate had previously approved a plan for altering the municipal health insurance system to save municipalities money, but the House had not acted on that subject. The conference committee was unable to reach agreement on a plan and therefore decided not to include changes in municipal health in this budget. It is anticipated that the Legislature will address the issue in the future, since reducing health care costs is a high priority for cities and towns grappling with an overall 4 percent reduction in local aid. "The MTA will continue to look for solutions to the health insurance problem that are fair and affordable and that protect members' collective bargaining rights," Wass said. Urge the Senate to pass the Keep Our Educators Working Act Tell the Senate to Pass the "Tax Extenders" Bill This important bill provides essential Medicaid funding (FMAP) relief for states to help ameliorate urgent budget crises that continues to weaken the economy, extends unemployment and benefits to help struggling families; and extends the deduction for educators' out-of-pocket classroom supply expenses.

Callicoon's annual tractor parade, scheduled for this Sunday, June 10, from 12 noon to 1 p.m., is one of the first of the season. The firemen will kick off the day with their pancake breakfast at their building on Route 97, from 7 to 11 a.m. Once you've had breakfast, you can make your way down to Lower Main Street, where tractors of all vintages and sizes will drive down Lower Main Street starting at 12 noon, complete with an announcer who will fill you in the details on the vehicles' owners and ages. The parade will be followed by a chicken barbeque and entertainment at the Delaware Youth Center, located at the bottom of Lower Main Street across the bridge.
The Callicoon Post Office will issue a special cancellation stamp honoring the Tractor Parade. The postmaster will be in town during the parade selling the special envelopes that will commemorate the day. Proceeds from the envelopes and from T-shirts (see photo) will benefit the youth center.

Man arrested after board game turns violent
MARTINSBURG – A board game turned violent late Sunday night when a Inwood man allegedly struck his wife with a chair after accusing her of not playing by the rules.
Michael Morris Barbour, 27, of Judges Court, was arrested on one count of misdemeanor domestic battery after the call reporting the disturbance was received shortly after midnight Monday by police.
Barbour was taken to Eastern Regional Jail and later arraigned. He was released from custody after posting $5,000 bail.
According to court records, at about 12:02 a.m. Monday, police responded to the scene after Barbour called 911 and reported a domestic battery in progress.
Barbour told police that he and his wife were playing a board game and that he accused her of cheating. He said they began to argue, and he alleged that his wife flipped a table and threw a chair at him, records show.
Barbour's wife told police that they had another couple over and they were playing the board game. She said the other couple left because Barbour kept "flipping out" over the game. She said they had been drinking all evening and alleged that Barbour pushed the whole board game off of a table, stood up and threw a red chair at her. She said the chair hit a wall and struck her, knocking her down, records show.
The alleged victim also told police that as Barbour was looking for his cigarettes, she picked them up and threw them outside.
The other couple came back to the residence and confirmed the alleged victim's story about Barbour flipping over the board game. Barbour was subsequently placed under arrest, record show.

By Sean Greene 10:20pm, January 23, 2013A shooting night as cold as the weather outside proved to be too much as Delaware men's basketball fell 64-50 at James Madison Wednesday night.
On a 29 degree night in Virginia, Delaware started out strong, grabbing an early 6-2 lead, but watched James Madison counter with a 12-0 run to go up 14-6, a lead they never gave up.
After a pair of Devon Saddler baskets, the Dukes went on a second 12-0 run before taking a 29-18 advantage into halftime.
Delaware (8-11, 3-3 CAA) briefly cut the lead to nine early in the second half before the Dukes (10-10, 4-3) pulled away, eventually stretching their lead to 21 points with under five minutes to go. The loss ended Delaware's six-game road conference winning streak, and was the Blue Hens' third straight conference loss after a 3-0 start.
Saddler finished with 16 points and six rebounds for the Hens.
After the game Ross told the school's website, "They out-played us, out-hustled us,
and out-coached us tonight. "Defensively we did some good things, but we just didn't do a good job of rebounding the basketball. If Kyle, Jamelle and Jarvis don't shoot well, it's going to be tough for us to win."
Delaware was just 29 percent from the floor and managed only 12 field goals.
The Blue Hens are off until Monday when they play at Drexel.

"The musical, considered too dark when it failed in 1975, today seems right in keeping with hard-learned cynicism about the American justice system."
VarietyBuy Tickets
No musical conjures up quite the same combination of intrigue, drama and sex appeal as Chicago does, a formula that's taken the hit production around the world from Toronto to Tokyo, since its premiere on Broadway in 1975. Set in the roarings 1920s, this tale of two beautiful criminals - Roxie Hart and Velma Kelly - comes alive through daring dance, sensational costumes and a pinch of Razzle Dazzle.
Chicago the Musical has picked up countless awards in its over 35 year lifespan, including Tony awards, Drama Desk, Olivier awards, and even a Grammy. The original Broadway production ran at the 46th Street Theatre for two years before closing. It was brought back to life on Broadway in 1996 when this revival opened almost twenty years later.
It's the Prohibition Era in Chicago, and if alcohol bans and curfews weren't already causing enough trouble, beautiful singer Roxie Hart has gone and landed herself in a whole heap more by murdering her lover, Fred Casely. She's able to lay the blame on her thick-skulled husband for a short time - but the truth eventually comes out and she finds herself behind bars at the Cook County Jail, where she now has to answer to Matron "Mama" Morton.
In the same cell block, former Vaudeville performer Velma Kelly isn't very impressed with Roxie's arrival. Not only is she stealing her limelight (carefully built up by Mama Morton who moonlight's as Velma's PR agent) but she might just be stealing the attentions of her lawyer, Billy Flynn, too.
The plot of Chicago is loosely based on the true story of murderers Beulah Annan and Belva Gaertner, who were both tried in Chicago in 1924. Female journalist Maurine Dallas Watkins who covered their trials subsequently wrote a play which formed the basis for the musical.
Previews from: 23 October 1996
Opening night: 14 November 1996
