Florida Marlins (21-26) at Philadelphia Phillies (25-19)
Burke Badenhop (2-2, 5.75 ERA) vs. Brett Myers (4-2, 4.34 ERA)
Time: 7:05 p.m. at Citizens Bank Park, Philadelphia
Weather: Partly cloudy, 73
TV: Comcast SportsNet
Twitter: Phillies Nation
Brett Myers can deliver a series win against the Marlins, as the Phils and Fish tangle for the sixth time in 2009. Florida will counter with Burke Badenhop, making his first start of 2009.The sinkerballer pitched 2.1 scoreless innings against the Phillies earlier in the season, but for his career has given up a Ryan Howard home run. Because Badenhop isn't ready to make a full start, Hayden Penn will be ready for long relief. It's the kind of night when the Phils should be wise to take some pitches.
Myers allowed three runs in six innings against the Marlins earlier in the season. He walked six in that game; since, Myers has been much more effective, capping with a strong start Friday night against the Yankees.
In the last rotation turn, the Phils' rotation ERA dropped from 6.31 to 5.86. Myers is 2-0 with a 2.57 ERA in his last three starts.
Your gamenight beer: Creemore Springs Premium Lager is one of the better lagers you'll ever taste. Loaded with malt flavor, it's crisp and golden, easy to drink and intelligently refreshing. This American-style lager is, in fact, Canadian: further proof those up north make some damn good beer. Pair this lager with some honey-glazed chicken, rice and broccoli.
Go Phillies!

Let's hope no one calls him out on tattoos this time.
Lets get a W and a series win.
Yes, we need to play consistently better at home, although our road record is outstanding.
You want a new lineup?
Rollins SS, Victorino CF, Utley 2B, Howard 1B, Ibanez LF, Werth RF, Feliz 3B, Ruiz C, Myers P.
Manual obviously sticking with success in using the same lineup tonight.
The current lineup configuration is 1-3 this season. Wouldn't call that obvious success by "Manual."
what lineup did u want Tim?
It's not that I want a specific lineup. But as I wrote yesterday, it's good to give guys at bats, and shuffling out the same guys out there every day kills that idea.
Oops, a typo.. sorry Charlie..my bad. 😉 Victorino has been moved around in either no.2 or 6 hole considerably. Manuel did the same last season.
I'm anxious for Werth to snap out of his 1 for 18 slump (finally had a hit in last AB last night). It's for that reason I believe Werth is slotted in the 6th hole instead of Victorino. That and facing a righthander in "Hopper" Badenhop.
Brett Myers' turn to continue lowering the rotation's ERA with another quality start.
Tim, you can sure sell a beer. There hasn't been one yet that hasn't sound delich. i did make chicken and broccoli for dinner, sadly i'm washing it down with a miller lite. Go Phils!
Tim obviously has a passion..a love for trying various types of beers; local and imports. It shows in his adjectives filled description of a chosen beer. I think he may also have written occasion columns on such beers and pairing with food in a local newpaper?
time to win a home series!
Did anybody watch Daily News Live tonight? They had the Marlins' GM on there doing an interview and he said that a good start for Badenhop tonight would be 4 or 5 innings.
That means one of two things will happen tonight: either the Phillies will jump all over this kid, or they'll pull the "oh, but we've never seen him" shit and put up 4 hits for the night. I really hope it's the former.
The good news is that Myers has been very good lately. Hopefully he can turn his recent success into another good start tonight. We'll see.
nice walk Victorino
alright Utley & Howard
What was that, Raul?
great play Myers
No chatter tonight. And no Phils bats so far either.
well we had something going in the 1st and then we didn't
Gotta jump on pitchers in the first inning when they settle in. When Jimmy ran into that out on Wednesday was just terrible. IMO……First inning outs are more precious than 9th inning outs.
woops, out on Monday in 1st inning by Rollins.
wow Raul looked terrible in that at bat. Very unRaul like.
come on Werth
Phillies playing like dog dirt tonight
Werth was the toast of the town when he stole home and now looks clueless. The truth lays somewhere in between.
Such a struggle with our feast or famine offense. Myers giving them another "quality start".
Come on Blue Jays! Lose, baby, lose!
The Dipsy
Why does Charlie & Co have Mayberry up in the Majors to ride the bench, while Werth looks like he hasn't played baseball in his lifetime.
I do not understand.
Werth stinks. He is streaky. Ugla is the only one who can beat us and homerun Myers throws him a pitch my granny can hit. Good stuff. This kid should pitch 9 and he will shut us out. THATS FOR SURE.
The Blue Jays!?! I'm over 1993. Who cares.
Philadelphia Blue Jays?
or maybe its cuz he wants Halladay lol
Keep dreaming on Halladay
Bingo Kmaster General!
The Dipsy
Myers with a hit!
and Santana walks a batter with the bases loaded, tied game there.
I would love to get Halladay but I just don't see it happening. Brad Penny will be a Phillie. Mark my words…or don't. Been wrong before.
Ed, theirs nothing wrong with being wrong, just ask Geoff.
well I read that there's four teams that are a great fit for Penny: Phillies, Brewers, Twins, and Royals.
Is it just me or have a lot of Myers breakers been left hanging in the zone and a lot of the Marlins players are just taking them?
Chalk this one up as a L
let's not give up yet
hmm k maybe now
Ok now we can give up. The solid pitching was fun while it lasted.
Told you, you can tell from the start how their playing that its going to be a loss. They're showing no effort and some no name rookie is dominating them like a 14 year vet.
Good call Ed on the hanging pitches.
Its like Myers lost focus and just f'd up.
Our bats are sooooooooo cold so its uphill from here.
We need to get rid of Myers!!!! Not even through 6 and he already gave up 2 HRs and 5 runs.
This is busch league he is the weakest link in this rotation.
The Big Dipper
(Although I sound like Geoff, The Dipsy and every other negative nancy on these boards.)
They lost this game in the first inning with bases loaded one out and they didnt score a run.
Maybe they can "win" it later but they yakked early and have struggled since.
Myers is pitching well enough but man those longballs are killing him once again.
Just one of those games that makes you glad baseball works in series and you can't get hung up on the individual results.
Rookies always own the Phillies. It's like when the Eagles play a crappy team. You expect it to be a blow out but it's always a fight to the death.
^ clown.
I hope Brett is fine.
hmm, it'd be nice to win a home series that isn't against the Nationals
Yeah I'm not so sure that was Brett sucking right there as it was Brett was hurt. On that note, the Phils needs some runs BIG TIME!
Brett Myers is horrible. Yes he has a game that makes you say Wow. Pat did that as well. Myers cant be a bad Marlins team. You butt munch. They cant win at home. Im done with this team. Waste of millionaires. GO HOME MYERS AND BEAT YOURSELF YOU PIG.
You're right NJ. Just need to win 6 of every 10 to get to 96 wins.
At times Myers is so focused and others he's like a mental midget. Rollins called him out the other day and said on Myers…..
"He was excellent," Rollins said of Myers. "He's been great his last two outings. Tonight even better than his last. Hopefully, this is the Brett we're going to get the rest of the time. He has that type of stuff once he starts believing in it again. He's definitely done that the last two times. His preparation going out there prior to the game — he's focused. There's no bouncing around, no playing air guitar. He's trying to get the job done and tonight we got to see the effects of what happens when you do things the right way."
I feel you Ed on the Eagles comparison.
This rookie is a sinker baller.
Phillies always suck against sinkerball pitchers.
Therefore the Phillies had a tough time with this rookie pitcher.
They teach that in grade school folks.
The Big Dipper
Ok peeps, time to beat up their bullpen!
Bats have to come out and play at home. They have been a joke. I was down there Monday and it was such a letdown. Letting up big home runs and not scoring runs. Frustrating. Hey, at least our "dog" the Nationals are coming to town.
Um, yeah he looks like he tweaked something.
wow Mike, u're a terrible fan lol
Where is the offense tonight?????
Seriously, "MIKE" is ridiculous
waiting for the Nationals and the upcoming road trip 😛
Myers doesnt suck…he is what he is. hes a number 3 type guy.
Why is he a number "3" guy Geoff?
I'm not trying to be a dick, but seriously? When Myers throws some good games, "hes a great number 2." When he throws in a bad outing, "thats just what he is, a number 3 type guy."
Why is he a number "3″ guy Geoff?
I'm not trying to be a d!ck, but seriously? When Myers throws some good games, "hes a great number 2." When he throws in a bad outing, "thats just what he is, a number 3 type guy."
After your ACE or number 1, the rest of the numbers do not matter.
Geoff is correct again. Myers is a #3.
4.00 era – 4.50 era
30+ starts
He was awesome Friday at NY. Lame tonight. Thats about what you get.
hmm not a good night for Ibanez, oh well
So what constituts a number 2 guy?
I wish the offense would actually show up like the fans continue to.
Myers left the game with right hip inflammation
#3 for myers is a label.
every player has a label.
Hamels is a #1
We don't have a #2
Myers is a #3
I dont think anyone on here has said hes a great number two. I cant recall it. Hes a number three. "Ace material" sometimes, and then sometimes hes not so great. Thats a 3. A 2 is more consistent then that, a 4 is still good but less consistent, and a 5 has to be consistent or else they usually get removed pretty fast from the rotation. thats usually how it goes…Myers is a 3. An overall good pitcher who has stretches where he is elite but who sometimes does get hit around.
3.50 – 4.00 era
33 starts
what is Brad Penny?
Tonight though, the bats are quiet. not a good offensive performance. therye all bailing up there… in the words of sarge "what do you want to go to the pound and get some german shepherds and bring them to the plate with you? because you look scared up there."
3.50 era or below
35 starts
can do this year over year, not a one-shot wonder
johan, halliday, beckett, peavy….not many of them out there
Rough night behind the plate. Chooch can't carry the load by himself.
Again: Why I'm sick of these lineups.
And yes, I use adjectives.
You present an ideal lineup with your 1, 2, and 3 but how many teams actually have that kind of consistency in their top starters from year to year?
exactly cxl
I'd put a healthy penny at a #2
2005 – 2007
Starts ~ 32
I'm sick of it, too… Can't we mix things up every once in a while? It's getting kinda boring, actually… Why not let Mayberry play a whole game, for example?
Evan, you're 100% correct. IMO most teams have a bunch of 3s and below.
We won the WS because Hamels pitched like a #1 and we won all 5 of his starts. Heck, he started 5 of our 11 wins.
If there are less than 10 #1s in the game….the fact we have Hamels is huge.
I understand everything you guys are saying, but since they have the label as a "number 3" or a "number 4", does that allow him to pitch like crap from time to time?
I say no, they're all getting paid millions of dollars to all do the same thing, shut down the opponent. To me it doesn't matter unless you have a #5 going against a Santana. Hamels gets lit up from time to time, and i dont hear anyone say well, hes a number 1, i guess we can allow it, because he's so good.
Myers is a capable number 2 pitcher. He has the stuff, and stretches when he's un-hittable.
Well the Braves spent a decade with a solid 1-3.
Penny is a number 2 when he is healthy.
Blanton is a number 3, Happ i guess #4, but i believe he is going to get a lot better and be much more consistent then most people will think.
Happ has never got lit up, granted he hasn't been pitching majors for awhile, but he always holds down the opponent.
Moyer, well, he stinks.
hmm no hits lately
Personally, I set my expectations for a player based on his salary and label. Myers doesn't disappoint me because I expect an outing like this every 3 turns or so.
For example, I love our catchers….ruiz + coste make a combined $840,000….whatever we get out of them is pure profit because we spent the money elsewhere.
I agree cxl on the catchers, i used to get so pissed when Ruiz would go 0-4 and what not. But honestly, his defense, arm, and clutch hitting (playoffs), is pretty damn good.
at least we get to see a STAIRS homerun.
You can't put #2's and #3's in such broad simplistic terms. Myers is a '2' because he projects as a frontline pitcher who can handle the tough games, go deep into games and has plus stuff with 1 dominating pitch, like it or not that's his billing so you can call him a failed '2' at times but he's not the prototypical '3' who's a guy who hasn't got great stuff but makes his starts and eats up innings which is what a Blanton or a Garland is.
Putting starting pitchers in such broad terms is how hack insiders like Ken Rosenthal get away with lazy reporting because most of the starting pitchers in the league are between a '2' and a '4' depending on the spin.
BFD, need to hit some HR with runners on base.
btw is it just me or is Clay rocking it this year? I can't tell if he's the benefactor of easy innings or whether he flat out is just kicking ass and taking names…
Stairs you beast. I love it.
I wish Stairs would walk back to the dogout and just say "that's how its done bitches." and then go and sit down.
cxl72, we didnt win the world series only because of Hamels, he is the Ace, and was pitching sub 2 the entire post season I think, and remaining pitchers also stepped up big time. The same pitchers who are doing horrible this year, pretty much all had good to great starts during the post season. Blanton who looked pretty bad so far this year pitched the same way during the post season as he did yesterday. Sadly, the only consistent starting pitcher is Hamels though. Thankfully they stepped up when they really needed to last year, and hopefully they will now, but tonight is a rough night for the entire team. poor pitching, poor offense. This is typical for a slow offensive night. The only scores we have are homers. Ruiz and Stairs tonight.
nice walk Rollins
He's kicking ass, NJ.
I honestly thought Stairs might be an expendable guy before the year started. Dobbs was a great left hand bench bat last year and Stairs is not exactly a defensive outfielder. Turns out he's just a fantastic addition to the this team.
NJ, thank you for your comment on the "#2" , "#3" talk.
Sometimes i sit here and read comments of people calling pitchers those terms, and i just wonder if they really think that or is it because Rosenthal, Olney, Gammons, Stark say it.
If Blanton is a "number 3 or 4" how was he capable of throwing the way he did last night 7 IP 11 K 0 ER, because only number 1 & number 2 starters do that. After your ace, to me, it doesn't matter what "number" they are, because either way, if they don't produce, their gonna get reamed anyway.
NJ, how can you call Brett Myers a #2??
He's 28 years old, never won more than 14 games on good teams and never was an all star. Someone compared him to Pat Burrell earlier which isnt too far off.
oo ty for the error
I would agree with your assessment of the catcher though cxl.
Yeah Kelly, nice play.
alright Kelly
This would be a GREAT time for Utley to use a little power. Ill tell you what. PLEASE
bad baserunning…you gotta tag up there and get over.
well almost
I'll disagree and say that a successful team usually needs a solid No.1 and No.2… after that, I don't think it's necessary to put numbers on them… but it's always fun. Usually it's easy to determine how's what after the end of the season. Last year, Hamels (1), Myers (2), Moyer (3), Blanton (4)…
Brian, it took all 25 guys to win the World Series but without Cole Hamels we had no chance. The writers were correct when they named him NLCS and WS MVP.
Thats the problem now…MOyer went from being a guy who was a solid 3 last year to basically warming up a rotation spot for someone until they can make a trade.
Cole was flat out nasty in the playoffs though. He was untouchable in Game 1 of each of the series…set the tone like you needed him to
aww man…weeeeeeeeeak…
AH! Howard!
ah that's unfortunate
Moyer was our #3 last year and he's not even a number in 2009 I can not find the infinity key.
Anyone have splits on what this teams offense looks like on the road as opposed to at home?
well Ibanez-Werth-Feliz in the 9th
3 straight homeruns? 😉
I agree with Manny. If you have a solid #1 and a #2 you can roll what you want out there and have a chance. The Mets do that with Johan. They start Livan Hernandez for crying out loud.
A great #1, solid #2 and a good offense can take you a long way.
Lindstrom has control problems…you have to be patient with him. get on base and let him meltdown, defend the strikezone with two strikes.
guy can dream can't he?
Stairs is up 5th too so hopefully we can get to him
Taschner might give up runs though 😛
Ed, they showed the splits yesterday. The offense is producing something like 5 run/game at home and 6 run/game away. The pitching staff's ERA is about 1 run higher at home too. Crazy stuff.
I like how they havent found a way to get Mayberry involved. Hes just sitting there now…nice work there…
I guess we need to boo a bit more… We've been way too "nice" at CBP this season… gotta shake things up!!
I gotta agree with Geoff there. I am actually very disappointed with Charlie's use, or nonuse of Mayberry. He serves no purpose on the bench and could use the development time in the minors.
Ed, best I can do, hitting stats for the Phils at home. Bet you can find pitching stats too.
Nicklas Lidstrom? He's not playing tonight
Charlie said that the fans are thanking the players too much for last year and maybe should be harder on them
Those green hats they gave out are too light…just give out the same ones they have on st pats day in florida…
Thanks cxl.
Matt Lindstrom
Oh no, Paulino kills lefties!
Joke Geoff, lol joke…
taschner sucks…hes gone when the cheater jc romero comes back.
Well, Tascher is kicking himself off this team….
oh well, Taschner will be gone soon enugh
C'Mon Charlie, look at Paulino's stats!! You were his manager. C'Mon!!!
Terrible terrible terrible lack of a managerial move there by Charlie…God I miss Jimy Williams.
Chooch, perfectly executed. Well worth the $415k.
well Marlins screwed up there, but 4 runs in the 9th k let's c
Ibanez single
Werth HBP
Feliz double
Ruiz walk
Stairs homerun
Brett Myers is a number 2, if you don't like his history call him a bad number 2 but his stuff projects him as a number 2 starter like it or not.
1- True ace who can pitch anywhere under any condition A LA Roy Halladay
1A- A guy who has great stuff and usually with a hell of a heater who hasn't shown the command or intangibles to evaluate himself to being a true number 1
2- A guy who has plus stuff and can go deep into games but usually doesn't have the intangibles on the mound to not fall into bad situations ofter.
3- A guy who has limited stuff or hasn't been able to harness any of what is usually a large array of ptiches but can soak up innings and be there to make his starts no matter
4- A more limited version of a 3 who has sustains a career through being smart on the mound like a Jeff Suppan
5- A budding star, or guy who has the stuff but has horrendous command like Daniel Cabrera
Of course the above is open to interpretation and can NEVER be held for gospel.
too bad you guys dont have a pitching staff this year….
The Gospel according to NJ
well I was right about Feliz hitting a double
Taschner doesn't suck he's just not very good but we knew he was a borderline major leaguer when he arrived and he was just brought in to soak up some innings until Romero returns and Eyre goes back to his previous role.
Your right "haha", its just too bad, what a grrrrreat call
nice…now…jhust flick a base hit out into RF and you get two runs..ruiz…
TMac is nuts, its a 4 run game. So a guy (maybe) takes an extra base because the OF dived. Its not a 1 run game.
well that's a terrible AB by Ruiz
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. no no no no no no. please let matt stairs drill one over the bricks…id love to see that. please..
Right NJ, we pay Tashner ~ $400k, what do you expect? A young Dave Righetti??
or Stairs can walk and Rollins can hit a grandslam 😉
Can't stand TMac..
On the radio they were saying that when Texiera hit that broken bat homer, that he dropped the F bomb on air, but he kind of mumbled it.. anyone know if thats try or what not?
Not the gospel according to NJ- Just what most tend to define those 'roles' as… If you disagree feel free to give the alternative.
NJ, a guys "stuff" doesn't project his "number". Daniel Cabrera has #1 stuff and gets pitching coaches fired but was released yesterday with an ERA ~ 6.00 and isn't a number 2.
Myers HAD nice stuff but with a fastball around 91 or so isnt that good.
nice…bases loaded. now…just keep the inning alive. be patient. get a base hit. work a walk. let lindstrom get wild again and beat himself. make him throw strikes.
Grand slam Jimmy? Time to redeem himself
well at least we don't go down easily lol
He was optioned to AAA cxl72….
Is Stairs on the wall of fame in Asburn alley yet?
oh well, I blame the loss on Cairo.
i had a feeling jimmy wouldn't be able to do anything. boooooo.
I hate to be the guy that says it, but Raul gets the Jeltz tonight.
Jimmy Rollins has no marbles.
yes I agree. terrible Raul. after voting for him 125 times today it's disappointing.
goodbye first place, we'll get u back this weekend 🙂
That was…a pretty poor game all around. Had a chance to get a few early with the bases loaded, Raul didn't come through. And again at the end…no dice for Rollins. Myers wasn't even looking that good, and now he might be hurt. Damn. Haha. Our home woes continue. Why?!
On MLB.com Myers fastest pitch was 92mph tonight. He has many more 88-89mph fastballs in there. His 12-6 curve ball isnt what is used to be. Its not an accident he gives up so many homeruns.
He is what he is.
30 starts, 4.00+ era, 200ip
Yeah I voted for him a ton myself
Ouch, Raul gets the Jeltz? Hmmn…maybe Myers. The whole damn team should have bags over their heads after todays game.
cxl72 you can't go by the numbers so simplistically, if you do then Clay Condrey is our set-up man but he isn't. A starters 'number' is only really based on his skillset. Aaron Harrang is a number 2, he was last year when he was getting knocked around and he is still this year when he's doing the business.
Myers has the skillset of a 2, he just doesn't consistently fit his billing. As for Daniel Cabrera he was a 5 because he's the guy who has the stuff but has horrendous command so he's spent his career in the back of rotations with his team hoping he can hold down his job at least, before being kicked to the curb which we all expected.
Well, sh$t. This was supposed to be a W.
off day tomorrow then it's time to sweep the Nationals this weekend
They won't sweep the Nationals, mark my words.
Its funny NJ because I think your text descriptions aren't that bad.
The fact that you think Brett Myers is a #2 just makes everything else suspect.
Can you hear Ricky Bo on TV, "Myers is not throwing 97, his curve isn't nasty nasty". His stuff is just ok.
And of course you assign numbers, this is baseball, the perfect game for numbers and statistics.
That's just beating on a guy… How many top pitchers don't throw high nineties! Cole doesn't, Don't think Halladay or Webb's 4 seamer usually goes that high. Brett has one of the nastiest curves in the game, even a passing spectator can see that pitch is just devastating when used right… His sweeping curve's nastier than Lou Pinella's temper.
I just mean the 'numbers for starters' tends to be defined by skillet. I kind of see the numbers in stats terms as recognition for what a guy has or hasn't done. Unfortunately for Myers he hasn't delivered the numbers to fit what he's always had the ability to do and his fastball seems to have regressed.
3- A guy who has limited stuff or hasn't been able to harness any of what is usually a large array of ptiches but can soak up innings and be there to make his starts no matter
Brett Myers has been a starter since 2002 and can not put it together consistently. He throws a few different type of slow fastballs, a curve, has never been an all star is 73-63 in his career.
I'm using your own defintion and IMO he fits it to a tee.
Myers also has a slider too. According to MLB.com he gave up homers tonight on the 4 seam fastball and the slider. So he throws….
4 seam fastball
Only one pitch, the curveball, I would consider noteworthy. And its certainly not what is was when he was younger.
I'm not a Brett Myers hater. I have moderate expectations for him and he meets them. Maybe we'll talk again when he goes out there next week.
I appreciate what your saying I just think your really selling the guy short. Believe his fastball velocity has dropped from the 92-94 range down to the high eighties but that curve isn't just a curve, that's a monster curve that gets overused because he has issues with his fastball. I really wouldn't put him into a category with the guys who have tons of pitches like Blanton who throws everything OK and nothing consistently well.
Brett's always had the stuff he just has got the intangibles to make his curve work like Cole works his circle-change and his change up isn't great so he uses his curve as his primary pitch which is never good for a guy who needs to be aggressive to be effective.
Cole too only has one GREAT pitch, his fastball isn't great and his regular change is hittable as well as the curve which he admit stinks, thing is his circle-change is just insanely good and he pitches with his head.
Myers has that one very good pitch but doesn't have the command of his fastball that Cole has despite at least earlier in his career having better velocity, thing is he has a 2 cent head on the mound and we beat down on him because we expected this guy to be a perennial 20 game winner.
I would love to make a comment , but the little guy said I AM TOO OLD AT FIFTY SEVEN TO HAVE A OPINION?

The new settlement under construction at Rawabi.
RAWABI, West Bank — As gambles go, it hardly gets bigger: A $1 billion dollar bet on peace — or at least a measure of calm — in the West Bank.
Even the founder of Rawabi, the biggest construction project in the history of the Palestinian people, says nobody in his right mind would invest here.
Standing on a wind-swept hilltop overlooking the biblical hills of Judea, a half-hour drive from Ramallah, Bashar Al-Masri points to the Palestinian flags flying atop the giant cranes that are building, with phenomenal speed, the first modern Palestinian town.
"As a teenager, raising the Palestinian flag was enough to be shot and killed," he says, immaculate in a form-hugging, thin-lapelled dark suit and narrow burgundy tie.
"This is a small, symbolic way of how long we came along, and how much we will come along in the future," adds Al-Masri, who as a teenager threw stones at Israeli soldiers.
The largest flag is mounted on a pole facing the Jewish settlement of Atteret, a community of about a hundred families located across a small valley.
The flag is a deliberate statement.
"So that we can show our unfriendly neighbors who were violently against us that we're here, and we're here to stay, and we're not afraid of you, we will remain here," Al-Masri says.
Two-thirds of the investment in this town comes from the government of Qatar's investment fund, Al-Masri explains. The design, planning and construction are all by Palestinians, with outside help, and what appears to make him proudest of all, he says, there is no input from Israel.
He says there are more than 8,000 families interested in moving in, and the first few hundred apartments will go on the market in March, with the town's inauguration in May. The cost of the apartments, depending on size and location, is between $75,000 and $140,000.
"This is about nation-building, this is about doing what's right, this is my contribution that I know the best," says Al-Masri. "The human rights activists have their contribution, the [Palestinian Authority] people are building capacity and building the government, we're all together as the Palestinian people building a state."
There are two main practical problems for the new town. All the water has to be piped in, and there is no obvious source. "We are in this project, putting facts on the ground, and things will have to follow," is Al-Masri's answer, hoping for a miracle.
And access. The only road to Rawabi passes through what is known as Area C: that part of the West Bank that is fully controlled by Israel, administratively and militarily. It is a narrow, winding road that the Palestinians can use only with an Israeli permit, which must be renewed each year.
Al-Masri talks of a tunnel through the hills linking Rawabi with Ramallah, barely visible on the horizon. Will that ever happen? "Probably not," he admits. "It's a problem."

The view to Rawabi from the nearby Jewish settlement of Atteret.
On the nearest hill, looking at Rawabi from Atteret, the manager of the Jewish settlement, Noam Aharon, agrees. "They throw stones at us," he says, talking about young Palestinians. "Just last month they smashed my windscreen. Stones can kill. And if they try to kill us, we will kill them."
"What do you think of their new town?"
"It spoils the view. But they can have it — they can do what they want, as long as we can live here in peace. If we can't, neither can they."
Leap of faith
Building a new town out of this scraggly, dry wilderness — from where on a clear day you can see the towers of Tel Aviv and the Mediterranean Sea — is a leap of faith, which al-Al-Masri does not deny.
It is being built against the opposition of many Palestinians who see any peaceful project as a way of affirming the status quo with Israel, of denying the Palestinian struggle.
"Of course I believe, I must believe that there will be peace with Israel, and it's a matter of time," he says. "The majority of Israeli people, at least 70 percent, want a Palestinian state. So, peace is possible. It just requires the right leaders."
So what percentage of Palestinians want peace with Israel?
"The vast majority. I'm certain of that."
Rawabi looks much more like an Israeli middle-class town than a Palestinian city: It will have high-rises, an outside theater to seat 20,000, soccer fields and cinemas and a theater, a swimming pool, a pedestrian precinct in the city center, bars and shopping malls.
All it needs now is people, water and a larger access road.
But the statement the project makes may be as important as the facts on the ground. It says that, between a failed peace process and a possible third intifada, there is a third way: Building Palestine from the bottom up.

Sullivan residents protest Supreme Court decision; is a constitutional amendment against corporate personhood possible?
January 25, 2012 —
SULLIVAN COUNTY, NY — Members of the group MoveOnSullivanNY travelled in a caravan around the county on January 22 spreading the word about their opposition to the Supreme Court decision known as Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission.
In the five to four decision that was handed down on January 21, 2010, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that advocacy groups such as Citizens United and other entities, such as corporations and unions, can spend as much money as they want in an effort to influence the results of federal elections.
The ruling also reinforced the legal construct in the United States that corporations are people and therefore have the same rights as people, a position which several groups in the United States oppose.
The residents traveled in a caravan of cars festooned with flags and painted with slogans; they visited Liberty, Livingston Manor, Jeffersonville and Callicoon. They handed out literature and gathered signatures for a constitutional amendment that would, among other things, abolish corporate personhood and establish that money is not speech.
One of the organizers, Kathie Aberman, said the group is going to ask the Sullivan County Legislature to pass a resolution supporting the idea of the constitutional amendment as other municipal governments have done. Some 50 cities have proposed resolutions in opposition to corporate personhood, including New York City, where the city council passed a resolution on January 4. More information about the movement is available at movetoamend.org.
But is a constitutional amendment a practical goal? Not according to Michael Sussman, a well-known attorney in the region who is often associated with progressive causes. He gave a talk at the Ted Stroebel Community Center in Monticello after the caravan had finished its route.
He said a push for a constitutional amendment was not likely to be successful, in part because it would need to be approved by 37 states, and he did not believe that is likely.

Self Care: Key to Health Reform Worldwide
I had the opportunity this week to spend time with National Health Service colleagues in Manchester, England, where I gave a keynote address at a conference called Self Care Aware.
During the past three years, the National Health Service (NHS) has been implementing a self care strategy that focuses on individuals taking responsibility for their own health and well-being. It is a strategy that goes to the heart of health reform and strives to balance rights and responsibilities with informed choice. In his opening remarks, Chief Executive of NHS North West, Mike Farrar, acknowledged the profound culture change that this will demand.
Throughout the day, there were many brilliant examples of self-care initiatives including a self-care toolkit for people with chronic illness and a program called The Calm Zone, which is targeted at young men ages 15-35 that offers help, information and advice on work issues, financial stress, bullying, relationships, self-harm and suicide. A six-week course called Self Care for You teaches people how to manage minor ailments, acute illness, long-term conditions, and adopt healthy lifestyle behaviors.
Every organization within the NHS in this region is expected to make self care a major focus of their work. While I have seen many healthcare organizations and systems through the years embrace new directions, too often the changes are cosmetic and don't really address core values and priorities. I found the progress that has been made here in England and the commitment to self care to be nothing short of stunning and a wonderful model for other countries, including the U.S. My address titled Transforming Health Care: Patient Empowerment echoed some of the conference's self-care strategy and included information about our website Taking Charge of Your Health.
What do you think about self care's role in reforming our healthcare system?

The Department of the Medical Examiner in Honolulu said a man's body was found floating in waters at Keehi Lagoon near Mokuoeo Island on Thursday.
The medical examiner released photos of the tattoos on the man's body.
On his upper middle chest, there is a eagle or phoenix type of bird in black ink. On his upper back, there is the word "freedom" in old English script in black ink.
Click here to see each tattoo.
The medical examiner says the man is possibly Caucasian, 6-feet-2-inches-tall weighing between 180 and 200 pounds. He is between 20 and 40 years in age with short dark hair. The man possibly smokes Marlboro cigarettes.
The man was found wearing an olive green Ezekiel t-shirt, black Under Armor short with small white polka dots. He did not have shoes nor slippers.
If you have any information on the identify of the man, call 768-3090 and ask to speak with the on-duty investigator.
An autopsy is scheduled on Friday. So far, there appears to be no evidence of foul play, according to the medical examiner.

Jeff Weaver & the Boys of Summer
First of all, welcome back home Jeff Weaver! I know you've had some good games but also some rough times since you left the Dodgers, but I will always remember the game you pitched at Dodger Stadium when the Dodgers were honoring the Boys of Summer. It was….August 28, 2005 and the Dodgers were celebrating the 50 year anniversary of the Brooklyn Dodgers winning the World Series. I had a friend from Delaware who was in L.A. just for this event and 3 other friends from San Diego that had been looking forward to that day. . Needless to say I could hardly wait to get to the stadium that day.
From the time that I walked into Dodger Stadium, I could hear Vin Scully practicing over the mike for all the introductions he was going to be making. Afterwards the surviving members from the 1955 team were seated around the infield while in the background "The Boys of Summer" was playing. Vin Scully took his place introducing the players giving brief descriptions of career highlights. When he got to Sandy Koufax, well, Vin knew he would not be able to say much without having people applauding thru it so he said " "Do I really have to go through this list of extraordinary achievements, or should I just let you show your appreciation?" Koufax, of course, got a standing ovation. Sandy, the humble man that he is, was gesturing "please, stop it"
Carl Erskine, one of the 1955 Dodgers pitchers, played "God Bless America" and the National Anthem on his harmonica just prior to the start of the game. Johnny Podres, hero of the 1955 World Series who shut out the Yankees in Game 7, threw out the first pitch to Roy Campanella II, son of the late, great Dodgers catcher.
What followed was a classic pitching duel, scoreless baseball for 7 1/2 innings of play as Roger Clemens then with the Astros battled L.A.'s Jeff Weaver. Finally, the Dodgers were able to push a run across the plate in the bottom of the 8th inning.
Jeff: You rose to the occasion that day!! I hope you rise again to the occasion and have a great 2009!

This was fantastic, Emma keep up the great stuff🙂
thanks D4! I was hoping to print this article to give it to Weaver but I did not have the printer available. Oh well. I so hope that he does well and makes the team.
I remember that game well. I'm glad to have Jeff back and hope he makes the team! Welcome back Jeff Weaver!
Great story Emma. Always love to hear the stories when Clemens goes down.lol Of course I have one great memory of Jeff. Hope he does well for you guys unless you are playing us of course.(smile)
Thanks for posting here! i forgot to update this thread that I did give Weaver a copy of my thead. Got to root for our guerito to do well.
You and I both. Thanks for the well wishes. I know, unless we are playing against each other. Weaver will be the long man. He is pitching today in a minor league game to increase his endurance as a long man. I too hope he does well.
I forgot to say that I did give Weaver a copy of this thread. I told him what it was about and he said "yes, I remember that game very well. I called him "Guerito." He rewsponded with a smile "also flaquito" which means skinny.
Next time I saw him I asked if he read it. He said "Yes, that was very nice. Thank you, I appreciate it.". Then my friend took a picture of him and another of he and I.

David Caruso is a serious television actor. At one point, people thought he was a serious film actor. This turned out to be false.
While the Caruso Method is widely studied, little is known about the man. Like a grimacing chameleon, Caruso blends in with his surroundings. He is not just the star of a show that takes place in Miami. Caruso is Miami. He may have arrived as a pasty Irish Catholic, but you wouldn't know it from his girlfriend Liza Marquez, and their son Marquez Anthony (a name he presumably arrived at after his wife told him Enrique Iglesias was too obvious, and The Miami Sound Machine was not an appropriate name for a child).
When he opened a high end retail store in downtown Miami, rather than trading on name recognition, he gave it the tragically perfect name "Steam." The name so adeptly captured the spirit of Miami that the ad executive who named the city's WNBA franchise "The Sol" immediately killed himself in shame, at which point Caruso stood over his body, held his sun glasses poised between his fingers, and said, "May God have mercy on his Sol." Not his best work, but as Caruso would later explain, the room was filled with distracting sobs and cops yelling, "Why is David Caruso here?"

Demonic Tutor is correct when he says "It is after all a Rush album." The musicianship and precision of Rush is unparalleled. However, this is clearly the low point of their four-album foray into 80s keyboard-esque pop. Thank goodness two years later they released "Presto" and freed themselves from this downward spiral.

Legislature to consider casino tax breaks; role of IDA to be defined
May 5, 2014 —
At a meeting of the Sullivan County Casino Impacts Committee at the government center on May 5, legislator Alan Sorensen, chair of the committee, said the county legislator would be discussing the role of the Sullivan County Industrial Development Agency (IDA) regarding the possible establishment of one or possibly two casino resorts in the county.
This comes after legislators in Orange County adopted a resolution opposing tax breaks for the proposed casino-resorts in that county.
A document on the website of the New York State Gaming Commission addresses the impact that tax incentives will have on the evaluation of any specific project. It says, "While nothing in statute or Request for Application (RFA) directly prevents use of applicable state and local economic development programs, a factor for the graded RFA evaluation is economic impact and a subsidized application will likely illustrate diminished economic impacts when competitively evaluated."
Sorensen said in his view, the inclusion of IDA tax incentives, at least for the casino resort itself, would be a negative factor, though he would be open to considering tax incentive programs for other projects that might be related to the casino resort.
Sorensen's announcement came after a meeting of the legislature on May, when tax breaks were also discussed. Sorensen noted that the Empire/EPR project at the site of the Concord Hotel bad been granted significant tax breaks under the IDA Destination Resort program, but that occurred before the vote in November 2013, when voters approved the creation of non-Indian casinos.
Legislator Ira Steingart, who is also the chairman of the IDA Board, said there had been no other applications for similar tax breaks from other organizations, but if and when they are made, the IDA would consider whether those projects are applicable and perform a cost/benefit analysis.
Legislator Cindy Geiger said, "Once the gaming commission makes the determination of who is going to operate in Sullivan County, wouldn't that put the county in the driver's seat at that point, and would we have to give the benefit at all?"
Sorensen said, "I would ask that the IDA consider a carve-out for a casino operation, which is different than a destination resort in my eyes." He said one of the goals of the Request for Applications (RFA) to operate the casinos is to maximize revenue to the state and localities. He said, "I interpret locality to be county, town, school district, so my concern is if you abate 100% of those projects, those projects in Orange County are going to be more competitive."

The error you are getting is related to WiFi drivers. Please perform these steps in order:
1. Download latest Intel WiFi driver package (full installer)
2. Remove WiDi software
3. Remove WiFi drivers and _do not_ save settings, if asked. Note this will likely delete your wifi profiles.
4. Reboot
5. Install latest WiFi driver package. The latest at the time of this writing should be 188.8.131.52. Make sure you can connect to your access point.
6. Reboot
7. Install latest WiDi software.
This should clear up the problems you're having with the WiFi/WiDi.

While we don't have a fixed binary released to the Intel support site, we do have instructions to help get you running using the existing WiDi installer. Please follow these steps in order and post a reply if they fixed your problem.
Note: It's very important that you do not run WiDi software or Windows Media Player while performing these steps!
1. Download WiDi 184.108.40.206 setup.exe from here and save it.
2. Reboot your PC.
3. Open Windows Explorer. Navigate to the WiDi Folder:
Upgrading from WiDi 2.0.x:
64-bit - C:\Program Files (x86)\Intel Corporation\Intel Wireless Display
32-bit - C:\Program Files\Intel Corporation\Intel Wireless Display
Upgrading from WiDi 2.1.x:
64-bit - C:\Program Files (x86)\Intel Corporation\Intel WiDi
32-bit - C:\Program Files\Intel Corporation\Intel WiDi
4. Rename WiDiApp.exe to WiDiApp_old.exe. Close the Windows Explorer.
5. Run the WiDi 22.214.171.124 setup file. Note that renaming WiDiApp.exe will trigger a "cleanup" operation in the installer, which should fix the issues observed and prevent them from happening again.

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Intel Corporation\Intel WiDi' directory did not contain any .exe including WiDiApp.exe. This is on a machine with 22.214.171.124 installed.
There were however other files + sub directories that suggested an incomplete install. On closer inspection there is also this directory: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Intel Corporation\Intel Wireless Display", which does contain the WiDiApp.exe. I can only assume that at some point between 184.108.40.206 and 22.214.171.124 that the install directory changed from "..\Intel Wireless Display" to "..\Intel Widi". Once I renamed the WiDiApp.exe in the "..\Intel Wireless Display", I was then able to run the setup successfully! FYI, On completetion the '..\Intel WiDi" directory then contained the WiDiApp.exe and the missing install files.
UNFORTUNATELY, after the succesful install, none of my netgear ptvs show up in the scan list as they did before with v220.127.116.11. This includes 2 PTV2000s and a PTV1000. I checked under MyWifi and made sure they are all Allowed (unblocked) but they still do not show up. I rolled back to system restore and 220.127.116.11. Now they all show back up in the list. BTW, this is my current wifi details;
Product Detected Intel® Centrino® Advanced-N + WiMAX 6250 Current Intel® PROSet/Wireless WiMAX Connection Utility Installed 2.03.2000 Product Detected Intel® Centrino® Advanced-N + WiMAX 6250 Current Intel® PROSet/Wireless WiFi Connection Utility Installed 18.104.22.168

I installed the new software as per your instructions but i still cannot detect the netgear adaptor.
12. Re: Unable to install WiDi
I purchased the Toshiba E205 Satellite laptop in April, and received the Netgear Push 2 TV (PTV1000) as part of the promotional package. Although the screen comes up on my television, my computer continues to say that WiDiApp has stopped working. I took the system to my IT person, who uninstalled, then reinstalled it. He can not get it to work.
I am disabled, and was really looking forward to using this application in my home. I have checked your website, and it seems like numerous customers are experiencing the same issues. Can you please help? I can be reached at the email above.

Sorry for your troubles here. Please try upgrading to the latest WiDi software and WiFi driver at http://www.intel.com/go/wirelessdisplayupdate . You will need to update to the latest Graphics driver at the Toshiba website. You'll need to update all three to make sure you're all set.
thx, Shashi

WHERE HE STANDS: 15th, 93 points out of 13th place
HOMESTEAD RECORD: Edwards finished second last year after leading 119 laps. He won the event in 2008 and 2009. Has not finished worse than eighth in the last seven races.
LOOKING AHEAD: Edwards said, "It seems like every time we go there (Homestead-Miami Speedway) we have a car that could win. We need to finish this season out with a win for our Fastenal team, and go into 2013 the way we went into 2011 and go for the championship. There would be no better way to kick off the 2013 season than with a win at Homestead."
LOOKING BACK: Edwards summed up his day best when he said, "we were very fortunate to finish 11th because we just struggled all day. We hung on really hard to stay on the lead lap and that kind of saved our day. There at the end, I've never seen a finish like that – ever. It was just chaos."
ETC.: Edwards can't wait for the 2013 season to begin. "We're very excited about everything happening right now at Roush Fenway," said Edwards. "We've got a lot of things happening right now, and we're building the best team we can for next year. We believe we're going to be championship contenders again in 2013, just like we were in 2011."
27 PAUL MENARD, Chevrolet
Team: Richard Childress Racing
WHERE HE STANDS: 16th, 118 points out of 13th place.
HOMESTEAD RECORD: His 16th-place finish a year ago is his best finish in six starts.
LOOKING AHEAD: Menard said, "It's always bittersweet when the season ends. I feel like we have a lot left to accomplish, but it will be nice to have a restart for next year, too. Ultimately, you want to end the year on a high note to carry into the off season."
LOOKING BACK: Menard ran as high as second in the first 166 laps before running into handling problems during the middle portions of the race. But he rallied in the final 75 laps to finish ninth despite being involved in the last-lap accident. "We had a pretty solid Rheem/Menards Chevrolet throughout the first half of the race, but made the wrong decision on a couple of adjustments and lost track position," said Menard. "We were able to make it back into the top 10 before the checkered flag. It was a crazy end to the race. Want to thank the 27 team for a great car this weekend."
ETC.: Gil Martin, the crew chief on the winning car driven by Kevin Harvick, gave a lot of credit for Harvick's victory to Menard and crew chief Slugger Labbe. "I just want to say one thing – this victory is a big team deal thanks to Paul Menard and Slugger (Labbe, the crew chief on the 27 car)," said Martin in the post-race press conference. "We have started working together so hard here in the last month, and I want to put out a big thanks to those guys because they've done a great job as far as working teammates." Added Harvick, "halfway through practice we decided to put in everything on the 27 car, and that's really the way it's supposed to work. We put it in, and adjusted to my driving style."
20 JOEY LOGANO, Toyota
Team: Joe Gibbs Racing
WHERE HE STANDS: 17th, 156 points out of 13th place.
HOMESTEAD RECORD: His best finish in three starts is 19th.
LOOKING AHEAD: Logano said, "Man, this is the end of an era this weekend at Homestead. It will be crazy to climb into that 20 car one last time on Sunday morning and know that it's the last time I will be behind the wheel of that car. It will be sad to leave them, but I will have lasting friendships with a lot of them. The best thing we can do this weekend is go out there and try to go out with a bang and give them a win in my last race in the Home Depot Toyota." Logano is moving to Penske Racing in 2013.
LOOKING BACK: Logano was running sixth with just over a lap to go when Jeff Gordon deliberated wrecked Clint Bowyer. Logano had nowhere to go as he slammed into the two spinning cars. As a result, Logano ended the day in 27th place. "There really isn't anything to say about that," said an angry Logano. "We had a top-five finish just taken away from us because another driver wanted to settle a score and didn't think about the other people that would get caught up in it. We had a good car. By the end of the day, we had it as good as it had been all day long. I just feel bad for my guys and Dollar General. They deserved a lot better."
ETC.: Logano was still livid after changing clothes. He went on his twitter account to express his displeasure with Gordon. "When I was young I thought Jeff Gordon was the best driver," tweeted Logano. "Now I've lost a lot of respect for him. Very dumb." A few hours later Logano tweeted "To all the 24 fans, I am not disrespecting a 4-time champ. A 4-time champ disrespected me today."
9 MARCOS AMBROSE, Ford
Team: Richard Petty Motorsports
WHERE HE STANDS: 18th, 173 points out of 13th place.
HOMESTEAD RECORD: His best finish in four starts is 26th.
LOOKING AHEAD: Ambrose said, "I'm really focused on trying to end our year on a high note, and I think we've got a shot at it this weekend. Of course we'd like to be able to get a win on an oval this season, but considering all the changes we've had the past couple months, I'll be happy with a solid top-10 finish."
LOOKING BACK: Ambrose finished 18th at Phoenix. "We struggled with the handling of our Black & Decker Ford all day," said Ambrose. "We just couldn't seem to hit on anything that made a big difference. I have to give my guys credit though, they never gave up and kept making adjustments all day to try and make the car better. On a positive note, we were able to avoid all the crazy on-track incidents and bring our No 9 machine home in one piece."
