The call came from Marengo attorney Herb Franks. He asked me to be his guest on the annual fishing trip he puts together for friends and associates to northwest Ontario. I couldn't resist his generosity and accepted.
The Franks trip is the stuff of legends, and I was a little intimidated. In attendance would be some extremely powerful people. In addition to Herb's son, Democratic State Rep. Jack Franks, former Illinois Senate Republican leader Frank Watson, Secretary of State Jesse White, union officials, elected officials, lobbyists, and lawyers of various stripes.
If you haven't surmised it, this group was comprised of people who were financially set, to be sure. A retired cop and I were the only people who I'd consider to be "just regular guys."
I never in my life dreamed that I'd be able to visit a place like Tetu Island Lodge, the home base for the Franks expedition. It was magnificent. It was incredibly upscale. Rather than the 14-hour drive I am used to in order to get to northwest Ontario, it only took a few minutes over two hours to arrive, courtesy of Franks' personal plane.
Guests aren't allowed to carry their bags, bait their hooks or change their own lures. The guides handled it all. Shore lunch was provided every day by a team of waitresses. You woke every morning to hot coffee delivered to your cabin. The meals were all worthy of the Food Network, including a splendid surf-and-turf dinner. The accommodations were top-shelf.
What about the fishing? I caught more fish in four days than I'll catch in the balance of this year. Walleye, northern pike and smallmouth bass swim in this Tetu Lake, English/Winnipeg River system in abundance. If setting the hook and reeling in fish over and over and over again is not for you, I'd go elsewhere.
Besides enough memories to last me a lifetime, I came away from this trip having learned a few important lessons.
Fishing is a great equalizer. No matter how rich a person is, it makes no difference in a boat or at a lodge. These powerhouses would get giddy when they won a dollar from their fishing partner for biggest fish of the day. It wasn't the money, it was the bragging rights that were important.
I learned not to be intimidated by a person's reputation or scope of influence. It seemed the lawyers were more interested in asking me about being an outdoors writer than bragging about their own impressive legal victories.
These big wheels, out of their fancy suits and in fishing garb, looked and acted like fishermen staying at the kinds of lodges I am more accustomed to. These guys were just simple fishermen, getting away from their daily grinds and having a blast fishing with the boys.
I learned not to be so judgmental. Although I will most likely never again take a trip like this one, I will look at people differently in the future. It doesn't matter what you earn, what you drive, or where you live – people are people. Fishing is, indeed, the great equalizer.
Fishing report
Northern Illinois – Dave Kranz of Dave's Bait, Tackle and Taxidermy in Crystal Lake reports: "Catfishing on the Fox River continues to be good. Use stink bait for channel cats and cut bait or large golden roach minnows or suckers for flatheads. Slop fishing for bass is good. Be sure to use 50-pound line on a heavy rod to get them out of the slop. White bass are showing up at the Algonquin and McHenry dams. Use extra-large fathead minnows on a one-eighth-ounce jig head."
Lake Michigan – Captain Bob Rossa of Migrator Charters (ALakeMichiganCharter.com) says, "Some huge king salmon have been caught on Lake Michigan this past week in Illinois waters. Moonshine's RV Wonderbread spoon has been one of the better baits. Most of the fish are being caught from 150 to 300-feet of water. You should fish from 45 to 120-feet in the water column. Lake trout, steelhead and some Coho salmon are adding to the catch."
Honest John from C.J. Smith's Resort on Grass Lake sends word, "Schools of stripers are moving on Bluff Lake and the Spring Lake Channel. Shore anglers are doing well. Small fathead minnows or spikes work best. Crappies have been very active. Work under piers along lake shorelines to find nice ones using small fatheads or spikes tipped on a chartreuse or white Mini -mite jig. Everyone is finding bluegills, especially in the channels and along lake shorelines. Trout worms are working well. Lots of catfish are being caught and the channels are the place to be. Nightcrawlers, stinkbait, chicken livers or bait shrimp are all good choices. Largemouth bass are good and Bluff Lake at the mouth, in the bay and along the piers on the back bay of Lake Marie are hot spots. Muskie action has been good. Some nice action has been reported on Channel Lake and also on Lake Catherine by Bob's Marina. Try large crank baits, golden roaches or small suckers. Walleye are fair. Try the sand bars in Lake Marie. Drift over them using XL fatheads or leeches for some action. Smallmouth Bass are being caught near the Spring Lake Bridge on nightcrawlers, golden roaches and spinner baits.

Whether you prefer quackers or honkers, you'll be happy to know that the IDNR has released the proposed waterfowl season dates and bag limits for the 2013-14 seasons. These include 60-day duck seasons in each of the state's four waterfowl hunting zones, along with a 90-day Canada goose hunting season in the North zone.
All dates cited here are for the Northern zone only. Duck, Canada goose, and snow goose seasons begin on Oct. 19. Goose season and snow goose season conclude on Jan. 16, duck season ends Dec. 17. The youth waterfowl dates are Oct. 12 and 13.
The proposed daily duck bag limit is six and may include no more than four mallards (two hens), three wood ducks, one mottled duck, two redheads, three scaup, two pintails, two canvasbacks, and one black duck. The proposed daily bag limit of mergansers is five only two of which may be hooded. The possession limit for ducks and mergansers is three times the daily bag limit by species and sex.
For Canada geese and white-fronted geese, the daily bag limit will be two with a possession limit of six. For snow geese, the proposed daily bag limit is 20 birds, with no possession limit.
The September 2013 early Canada goose season, commonly referred to as "nuisance season," is Sept. 1 to 15 with a daily limit of five and a possession limit of 15.

I recently replied to a question on the National Journal blog on sizing up President Obama's State of the Union speech
You can read responses at the National Journal [2].
Here is my response: When Congress failed to enact the climate bill in 2010, many longtime climate action advocates responded by falling silent on climate change. "Too polarizing," they said. "When we talk about climate change, the skeptics attack climate science, the press reports he-said-she-said, and all the public hears is a muddle. Let's talk about green jobs and air pollution instead."
That silence was a big mistake. It understated the urgency of the challenges we face. It undervalued the clean energy solutions we need to deploy throughout our economy. And it underestimated the ability of busy moms and dads to cut through the noise about the world we're leaving our children.
Meanwhile, even as climate change was barely whispered about in Washington D.C., climate-driven impacts were loud and clear across America in the form of record-setting heat, extreme drought, floods, severe wildfires, and, of course, Hurricane Sandy.
President Obama has now broken the silence. First in his inaugural address and then in his State of the Union address, he referred to all the above in making the case for climate action. In the State of the Union, he urged Congress to move forward – "but if Congress won't act soon to protect future generations, I will."
What executive actions can the president now use while we wait for Congress to act? In a new C2ES policy guide [3], we offer some suggestions. Under existing authority, the administration can:
Working together, President Obama and Congress can also:
That's a pretty good list. There's a lot that can be done.
But most of all, let's please remember – ignoring this problem won't make it go away.

Letter to the Times from the director of the Royal School for the Blind, Dec. 23, 1986:
Radio 4 this morning (December 15) introduced the verb anonymise. May I therefore letterise you that such verbising terribilises the English language and should not be radioised by the BBC.

Press Release Detail
Sodano Chosen as Faculty Fellow for Academy of Television Arts & Sciences Seminar
Dr. Todd Sodano, Assistant Professor of Communication/Journalism, was one of 20 faculty fellows chosen from colleges and universities across the country for the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences Faculty Seminar.
The seminar took place in Los Angeles, and offered faculty opportunities to see how television entertainment works behind-the-scenes. The faculty fellows were chosen by a selection committee.
The five-day seminar included lively group discussions, presentations, and interactions with major studios, production companies, major television networks and their top production and programming professionals.
Sodano said the seminar was "an incredible look into the current—and future—state of television."
During the seminar, the group toured Stargate Studios, the visual effects hub for shows including The Walking Dead, Parenthood, and Pan Am. They also visited the Warner Bros. lot and toured the sets of popular shows such as Big Bang Theory, Two and a Half Men, and Conan.
Session topics included: "Producers and Writers: How they function," "Directors: Learn the similarities and differences of working in different genres," "Development: Sources and development of ideas, network pitching," "Network/Cable Decision-Making: Program selection, scheduling, promotion, cancellation," "Digital Entertainment and New Media: Learn the newest information," "Out Visits: Behind-the-scenes, new technology," and "Production Meetings: See industry pros in action."
The annual seminar is administered by the Television Academy Foundation's Education Programs Department.
Sodano with Kelley Dixon, Emmy-nominated editor for the television series "Breaking Bad."

LOOKING BACK: Despite running out of gas on the last lap, Logano was able to coast across the finish line in 10th place. It was his third top-10 finish in the three Chase races. "The most frustrating part about the whole day was that our car was fast," said Logano. "We just all got caught by that first caution. It trapped a lot of really good cars a lap down. It wasn't like it was just us. I think we had a top-five car for sure."
ETC.: Logano continues to dominate the Nationwide Series. He led 184 of the 200 laps Saturday to win his second straight Nationwide race at Dover and his seventh of the 2012 season. Logano has competed in 16 Nationwide races this season. "I told Adam (Stevens, his crew chief) that my monster trophy from last time was lonely and needed a friend -- so I'm glad I was able to get one for him," Logano said, laughing. "Adam's amazing. He's given me some great race pieces seven times this year."
31 JEFF BURTON, Chevrolet
Team: Richard Childress Racing
WHERE HE STANDS: 19th, 157 points out of 13th place.
TALLADEGA RECORD: Finished second in the fall race a year ago. Will be shooting for his third straight top-10 finish. Overall has 15 top-10 finishes in 37 starts.
LOOKING AHEAD: Burton said, "Every superspeedway event we've run over the past few years, we were in position to win the race. We have been at a disadvantage lately and not been able to race as hard as we liked to due to engine-temperature concerns. Richard Childress Racing and ECR Engines have worked diligently on that, and I feel like we are going back to Talladega with a better cooling package. Hopefully we will be in the middle of the action all day."
LOOKING BACK: Burton finished 27th at Dover. "This was a tough day for the 31 Caterpillar team," said Burton. "We struggled to find the right setup all weekend to get the speed we needed and then couldn't catch a break during the race. I have to give this Caterpillar team credit; they never gave up and kept working hard through all of the challenges. We'll regroup this week and see what we can make happen at Talladega."
ETC.: Despite having a contract to drive the 31 car in 2013, Burton has been part of the infamous Cup rumor mill the last few months. There have been various reports that he was going to be replaced by either Kurt Busch or Ryan Newman, but both Busch and Newman have recently signed new deals for 2013. Burton said he has never been "worried about being replaced. But the fact that I was in the conversation bothered me. We know we have been the weaker of the (three) teams (at RCR). We have to find ways to be better."
1 JAMIE MCMURRAY, Chevrolet
Team: Earnhardt Ganassi Racing with Felix Sabates
WHERE HE STANDS: 20th, 168 points out of 13th place.
TALLADEGA RECORD: One win and six top-10 finishes, including five top-fives in 20 starts.
LOOKING AHEAD: McMurray said, "This (Talladega) is the place where the adage "it's better to be lucky than good" really applies. You obviously need to have a fast car that drafts good, but this is all about being in the right place at the right time in the closing laps. We have had good cars at the speedway races in the past, and I don't expect this race to be any different."
LOOKING BACK: McMurray finished 24th at Dover. "We really had a struggle with the handling of our car in the early going," said McMurray. "We made some adjustments and got it better, but with the long green-flag runs we weren't able to get back on the lead lap. It was just a long, long day."
ETC.: McMurray points out, "You can be in first place when the white flag comes out (at Talladega), and the next time by for the checkered flag you can be in 20th place. I have been lucky enough to win at Talladega, and it is just a matter of being patient all day and put yourself in position to be up front near the end."
42 JUAN PABLO MONTOYA, Chevrolet
Team: Earnhardt Ganassi Racing with Felix Sabates
WHERE HE STANDS: 21st, 201 points out of 13th place.
TALLADEGA RECORD: One second-place finish and two third-place finishes in 11 starts. Has won two poles.
LOOKING AHEAD: Montoya said, "I love racing there (Talladega), and it's a lot of fun as long as you don't get involved in someone else's mess. It's really anyone's race, and the last 25 laps is really what it come down to. We've tried different strategies in the past, and the last time we got right up in the mix of things and our day was cut short due to an accident in front of us."
LOOKING BACK: Montoya finished 26th at Dover. "It was a disappointing day for our Target team," said Montoya. "Those long green-flag runs really hurt us, so we messed around with fuel mileage at the end hoping to catch a break. I keep hoping that one of these days we'll catch a break. It was just a rough day."
ETC.: Montoya believes Talladega -- the last restrictor-plate race of the season -- might be the race where his luck changes. "The Target team just hasn't had much luck on the superspeedways this year, and hopefully that luck will change this weekend," said Montoya.

- High-precision interferometric monitoring of polymer swelling using a simple optofluidic sensor
- Author(s)
- Gervinskas, Gediminas; Day, Daniel; Juodkazis, Saulius
- Abstract
- Swelling of poly-methylmethacrylate (PMMA) in weak solvents—water, ethanol, and methanol was investigated by interferometry using a simple microfluidic sensor. A change of channel width by ±10 nm, comparable with the surface roughness of the polymer surface, is reliably detected and its temporal evolution was monitored in situ. Dynamics of polymer swelling over time periods from a few seconds to a few days were obtained. An optimized inexpensive microfluidic sensor design using hot embossing with gold sputtering is presented. Such a sensor can be used for high-fidelity adsorption–desorption interferometric sensing and its cost can be optimized for a single use.

Corsair Memory and Super Talent Technology, two leading suppliers of various flash- and DRAM-based products, recently unveiled the new breed of encrypted flash drives. Corsair's product can boast with fully hardware-based AES 256-bit security, whereas Super Talent's USB drives offer unprecedented capacities along with USB 3.0 compatibility.
Corsair Flash Padlock 2 employs two security technologies for superb data protection. The first of these technologies is a user-definable personal identification number or PIN. To unlock the drive and access the data, this PIN is entered using the drive's integrated numeric keypad. The Flash Padlock 2 cannot be accessed without correctly entering the PIN for that individual drive. The second technology used is secure 256-bit AES data encryption of the drive contents which ensures that data protection cannot be compromised by disassembling the drive to gain access to the flash ICs.
Most hardware-encrypted USB flash drives require the use of a software application to enter the password for the device. However, the Flash Padlock 2 has an integrated keypad, so no software application is necessary. Unfortunately, if the pin is lost, there is a procedure that securely erases the contents of the drive, not exactly a pleasant thing.
The Flash Padlock 2 has a capacity of 8GB and uses USB 2.0 interface, which means that no high performance should be expected. The Corsair Flash Padlock 2 is backed by a 10-year Limited Warranty.
Super Talent Technology decided to fully concentrate on performance and capacities of its SuperCrypt USB 3.0drives, but had to sacrifice absolute security for that reason. The SuperCrypt USB 3.0 drives are available in 16GB, 32GB, 64GB, 128GB and 256GB capacities and support USB 3.0 speeds. According to Super Talent, downloading a 600MB movie takes a mere 7 seconds with this new drive, which results in 85MB/s read speed.
Super Talent offers two AES encryption options, both of which include the STT encryption utility for password control: the SuperCrypt drive features 128-bit ECB encryption, while the SuperCrypt Pro features 256-bit XTS encryption for very robust security, which also requires special software that makes encryption less versatile and advanced compared to the solution from Corsair Memory.
The USB 3.0 SuperCrypt drive will be available in March from Super Talent resellers worldwide.

Apps in a Snap: Thai Chicken Salad Bites
Take this lunchtime fave and whip it up in appetizer form. It's just satisfying enough to hold guests off until dinner is served, but a cinch to make.
-Here's a great appetizer trick. Start with leftovers you already have in the fridge. I'll show you how to make a fresh and delicious party snacks using last night's roasted chicken. First, using your fingers shred about 2 cups worth of leftover chicken breast into bite size pieces. Next, in a medium bowl, make a Thai style dressing for your chicken salad. Combine 1/4 of cup vegetable oil, 1 tablespoon of lime juice, that's about 1/2 lime. 1 tablespoon store bought chili-garlic sauce and a teaspoon of sugar. Last but not the least, to give it a fresh peppery note, grate in about 1 teaspoon fresh ginger. That's it. Stir it all together. To finish the salad, add in your chicken. And for crunch and color, toss in 2 tablespoons top roasted peanuts and 2 tablespoons each chopped fresh mints and cilantro. Give it all one more toss. Instead of using chips or toast, use a cucumber. Slice one into 1/4 inch slices. Then top it with some of the chicken salads. And there you have it, an easy appetizer made from things you already had in the fridge. For more recipe tips and tricks, go to rachelraymag.com.

The 8.5" x 11" flyer is the workhorse of promotional pieces. It's often the first choice for business flyers, and with good reason. If this is your go-to size for promotional pieces, consider downloading one of our templates for flyers to your desktop. We offer templates for popular graphic design packages, including Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign. If you don't have design software, not to worry. You can also design your flyer in our Online Design Center.
We offer several paper options for flyers, including 14pt ultra-thick stock, 80lb gloss book, 100lb gloss cover, 100lb glossy bookweight paper, or 70lb uncoated opaque paper. If you choose our 14pt card stock, you can take your pick of either a glossy UV coating or a matte finish. In all cases, our full-page flyers can be printed in full color on both sides.
For orders in the New York or Los Angeles area, you have the option to pick up your order on site at our local facilities. For those outside these metro areas, we have several shipping options for you to choose from to ensure your prints arrive on time.
If you're looking to print business flyers, the full-page format is an obvious choice. The large, attention-grabbing format lends itself easily to a spectrum of business types, including:
Use the front side of an 8.5" x 11" flyer to make a strong visual statement. Consider using a single visual, whether it's a photo or a design element, and a direct call-out to your potential customer. The idea is to make the front of the flyer intriguing enough for passers-by to pick it up.
This type of design works well whether you plan to leave a stack of flyers on a table or display them at an exhibit or trade show. Because you have a full page to work with you can include many important features such as logos, maps to your location, coupons, and more.
If you want, you can even call attention to the fact that there's more information about your business or promotion on the front side of the flyer. Over an image of your products or business, you can run a headline like, "Don't miss the incredible savings coupon on the back of this flyer!"
We offer full-bleed color printing on our flyers. You can download templates for flyers in Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign and Quark. This will help you insure the right size, trim bleed, and formatting for your design.

Philadelphia Phillies (12-15) vs Cleveland Indians (11-13)
LHP Cliff Lee (2-1, 3.03 ERA) v. RHP Trevor Bauer (0-1, 5.40 ERA)
TIME: 7:05, Progressive Field
TV: Comcast SportsNet
Weather: 62, clear
Media: Twitter and Facebook
Behind Cliff Lee, the Phillies will look for redemption on Wednesday after being embarrassed by the Indians last night to the tune of a 14-2 score. The Indians, Lee's original major league squad, are the only team that the left-hander has never faced. Lee came to the Phillies from Cleveland in 2009 for a haul of prospects – Carlos Carrasco, Jason Donald, Jason Knapp and Lou Marson – that has not translated into much at the major league level for the Indians.
Lee and the Cleveland offense have been trending in opposite directions of late. The Phillies have lost Lee's last three outings. In his previous two, he has given up a combined eight earned runs in 12 innings of work. Still, Lee heads into his sixth start tonight sporting an impressive 3.03 ERA and a typically brilliant 6-to-1 strikeout-to-walk ratio.
Meanwhile, the Indians offense has scored 33 runs in the last three games. That is not a typo. They teed off on Roy Halladay and the Phils middle relief last night, blasting seven home runs, none of which were cheap. Outfielder Ryan Raburn has four home runs on the season, all of which have come in the last two games. As a right-handed bat, he is sure to be in the lineup tonight against Lee. Luckily for the Phils, Lee has had success as a stopper of sorts thus far this year. After Halladay's first two starts of the season, both horrendous, Lee pitched brilliantly en route to Phillies victories.
The Philadelphia offense will face Indians phenom Trevor Bauer, called up to make his sixth career start because of Cleveland's doubleheader last Sunday. Bauer walked seven Rays in five innings in a 6-0 loss in his only start this season, but showed better command once back in Triple-A. With Carlos Ruiz and Delmon Young in tow, the Phillies offense is finally fully intact. Against the 22-year-old Bauer, who was the third overall pick in the 2011 MLB draft, they need to have a better showing than they did last night.
Lineup: Rollins SS, M. Young 3B, Utley 2B, Howard 1B, D. Young DH, Brown LF, Ruiz C, Nix RF, Revere CF, Lee P
GAMEDAY BEER: Great Lakes Brewing Co. Eliot Ness
Yesterday we highlighted Great Lakes' Dortmunder Gold. This classic brewery, undoubtedly Cleveland's best, is also known for its popular Eliot Ness, named in tribute to the Prohibition agent who ended his career in Cleveland. As the legend goes, Ness frequented the establishment that originally existed in the brewery's current home.

Think I've read a couple times on this site that RyHo shouldn't play against lefties.
I just watched him bat against a rightie.
If you saw it, no need for additional comment.
If you didn't see it, it won't be on the highlights tonight.
Correct he shouldn't start versus lefties!! You watched him bat against a rightie as I did and???
Hey, at least the Indians did not score in the first inning….
I'm getting the feeling that we can only hit bad pitching… too much swinging and missing already with a rookie pitcher on the mound!
Our outfield is a poor hitting one. Our infield is an old one at every position. Our bullpen is very inconsistent, and Roy Halladay has become Joe Blanton. I need something to cheer about. Yeah Delmon Young !!! I am really searching for an ounce of optimism.
Just remember that the Phillies play the Mets again June 21!
If the Mets can stay healthy, I think they may have more upside potential than the Phillies to claim 3rd place in the East by October. If nothing else, the Mets have begun rebuilding while the Phillies appear to be stuck in a netherworld. If current patterns hold, I would bet on the Phillies finishing no higher than 4th place next season. Marlins owner Jeffrey Loria will be the only sure-fire obstacle keeping the Phillies out of the cellar this year.
Having to check the box scores hoping the Mets and Marlins lost is not the brand of Phillies baseball we were expecting to watch this summer. I grew up watching the hapless teams of the 1950s and 1960s. Even in their truly awful years, they got into bench-clearing brawls and fans knew the players and coaches were awake. Much has to change for this team to be even fun to watch, win or lose.
It was clear that this Phillies team didn't belong on the same field with Cleveland even with two or three of Cleveland's stars out of the line-up. If I were an Indians fan, I'd ask for my money back sinceI would have expected to see a game between two major league teams and not an exhibition game between the Indians and a sandlot team from Philadelphia..
What the Cleveland fans watched should have been an embarrassment to the Phillies front office.
If not, this team's in worse shape than we think.
That's the second time wb has told us the Mets can beat the Phillies out without mentioning an area of strength that warrants such support. Maybe we should lower the bar to allowing for a singular player name mention.
I don't know if it's comedy, or demagoguary, as in trying to poke a hole in the heart of the downtrodden Phillie fan when the deths of despair cain't be getting no lower.
Oh, brudder.
Just a couple of points about why the Mets are showing promise and the Phils are not.
There are more, but you asked for one. And please note – whileI was questioning where both clubs are right now I was primarily talking about each club's direction.
The Mets, despite their lousy record, have outscored their opponents 126-124. The Phillies have been outscored by 100-128.
The Mets have a 28-24 edge in home runs over opponents.
The Philles have a 22-33 deficit in that department.
Those are figures that not only reflect both clubs' big-inning power but also the strengths of their pitching staffs.
The Phillies team leaders in batting average, HRs, RBI, OBP and hits are shared by two of the oldest (if not oldest) members of the team – Michael Young and Chase Utley – one was supposed to be a one-year fix and the other is miraculously playing on 2 bad knees.. Those same statistical leaders on the Mets are four players, two still in their 20s and the oldest is 32.
The Mets are clearly rebuilding and have had to recover from the additional financial hole left by Bernie Madoff's ponzi scheme. And the Phillies? Where's the rebuilding process considering what should be a monetary advantage even counting their propensity for paying bloated salaries to underperforming players? They not only limited themselves cap-wise but did nothing to invest in their farm system – and the latter has little to do with their cap problems.
Uh oh, now we have to score a run; this could be brutal….
Niiice, Revere bunts a pitch up around his neck….
Revere would be a great player if the National League ever adopts a designated fielder rule.
Maannnn it just keeps getting worse
How's the strike zone favoring?
Would you look at that. Howard robbed of extra bases. When things aren't going your way, they just aren't going your way. This has been the story all season long, with the exception of when they play the Mets.
I've watched this game, and my mind keeps coming back to 1 thing. I don't know what Dave Montgomery is thinking, nor do I know what he should be thinking. I don't know what he should do, or if he has a clue what he should do. Who he listens to, or any one of a number of other possibilities.
I suspect a good start might be a proactive posture. How should he be proactive? Hell if I know. Status quo is a bitch. Home for Miami for 4, and then a west coast trip to SF and Arizona. And a very disgruntled fan base, perhaps dwindling awaits.
Attendance is already trending down, and that's the sort of thing that worries management. At some point, they need to come to the realization that this is not a contending team. They can't keep claiming to be a good team when they've been below .500 over their past 215 games. That's not a small sample size. That's not a fluke or bad luck. It's just the closure of that proverbial window of opportunity.
Couldn't agree more. However, baseball can be funny. If the Phillies can play .500 ball through July and turn in on late, anything can happen. You never know. But even .500 ball seems like a bit of a stretch. I mean, I know Cleveland has improved but how good are they really? They just made the Phils look like a joke in two straight games. At least we've got kendrick in game one of the marlins series.
Another called third strike with 2 outs and 2 on. This time Nix!! SWING THE FRIGGING BAT.
Phillies beating up on the Mets is fool's gold. They aren't good. Anything less than a 3-1 series win upcoming against Miami is unnacceptable.
Phils getting smoked by the Indians. Nothing else to be said, this is bad.
And smoked 14-2 and 6-0 by a team missing three of its big bats.
The Phillies lost two bats last year and had trouble scoring 20 runs in two 4-game series.
Difficult to watch
Phillies once again make a minor league spot starter look like an ace. Bad bad bad bad.
That spot starter also happens to be one of the higher rated pitching prospects around. It's not like they were facing Tyler Cloyd or even Jonathan Pettibone.
and you up knew it would be like this in the first inning. What should have been bases loaded with no outs ended up with diddly squat.
Now I know why Oedipus gouged his eyes out – it wasn't from the incest he had committed, it was from watching the Phillies take on Cleveland Indians. Good God, this is a painful series.
how ugly!
Ugly isn't even the word.
How about not capitalizing on a minor leagues pitcher who walks the lead-off batter, in almost every inning, and the the first two in the fifth! If we don't win the series against the Marlins…Stopit, Ed, gotta think positive thoughts…
This bunch of no hitting, third strike taking, losers were beaten in the series 20 – 2 by Cleveland without their two best players in the lineup. Lee will be asking to be traded soon and can you blame him.
*meant "league"
*forgot "the" in my previous post
My brain is dribble from this series.
A mediocre team off to a slow start this spells disaster. I can see their attendance start to plummet even at the bars patrons are telling the bar keep to change the channel.
Montgomery really needs to think about bringing in a "consultant" from outside the current organizational structure. The trade deadline this year will be incredibly important in terms of what minor league talent they can acquire for the likes of Lee, Adams, both Youngs and, I hate to say it, but Ruiz as well. RAJ is not competent to make those decisions for a variety of reasons.
I wouldn't protect any current player with the possible exceptions of Utley and Hamels.
Hamels because you won't find many better pitchers and Utley because somebody has to show the rookies how the game should be played.
Maybe it's the consultants–i.e., scouts–who don't know what players to trade for, sign or get rid of. Amaro might make the final decisions, but he's not making them in a vacuum. I'm sure he gets input from others, too. People who've generally gotten a pass, like Pat Gillick, and maybe Montgomery himself.
I wouldn't venture the same guess. Maybe you feel you understand the workings and power structure of the organization, I go with what I know, and that's that Pat Gillick seems to best classified as a consultant. I'm not sure you can do better than a Pat Gillick whispering in your ear, but what I mainly know about him is his rep.
Nor do I know that Montgomery is incompetent. I just know that he seems willingto talk when things are going well. That might not be accurate or fair, but it's just my feeling at this point that he needs to talk, or do something. Maybe I'll complain about what he says and have a more firm feeling, but this entire situation isn't cutting it.
I never said that Gillick or Montgomery are incompetent. What I said is that they provide input (particularly Montgomery, who is the one signing off on the financial side) and that perhaps some of that input has been part of the problem. Amaro is not the only one who might make a bad choice and he's not the only one reading scouting reports. Gillick, to me, is not the God he seems to be perceived as being; after all, he's the one who inked Adam Eaton and traded Gio Gonzalez for Freddy God-awful Garcia.
My point is, everyone makes to blame Amaro alone for all the team's shortcomings is a crock. He isn't the scouting department, he doesn't have final say over the budget, he's not in charge of keeping players healthy, filling out the lineup card, changing pitchers, or calling for bunts. He's not a hitting coach, or in the Phils' case, two hitting coaches. He's not the person who develops relievers into arson squads, and he may not even be the person who advocates signing aging veterans in an effort to please fans; that may be a P.R. thing that someone above thinks will generate revenue. Without knowing what actually goes on in the front office, I just find it disgusting that people want to single out one person for all the abuse.
The Phillies are leaving a stinkfest in Cleveland.
Cleveland hasn't seen this much hot, steaming garbage in town since the day their river caught fire.
I find this unbelievable. I keep reading about beating the mets and marlin's. They, along with the astros are the three worst teams in baseball. They could all lose 100 games. Please don't think it is an accomplishment if they beat those teams. Without those teams, we might lose 100. Getting hope when we beat those teams is a joke.
Ab. Solutely. Brutal. What is the rationale for keeping RAJ on? How poorly would they have to do this year for a change to be made at the top? Miss the playoffs? Finish behind the Mets? What?
What a rough stretch for all the Phila. franchises, starting with last year's Phillies.
Look at the bright side… it was a 3 – 2 road trip.
Look on the bright side? That's a tough task but let's give it a shot. We have the most expensive pitching staff in baseball and they have a collective 4.51 ERA. That's difficult for a that a team that is hitting an OPS of .697, both numbers are 26th out of 30 teams in the majors.
Not looking good for the home team right now. I think there is still time to get it straightened out, but not a lot. This month with it's perilous west coast road trip, is key. If they're ten games out on June 1st, that's a deep hole. Last year we were 3 games over .500 on June 1st and had a disastrous month and were 9 games under .500 at the end of the month.
My hope is we've already had our bad month.
After the Marlins series, they play 15 of their next 20 on the road…Giants, Dbacks, Marlins, Nats and Red Sox. Oh and the 5 games at home are against Cleveland and Cincinnati…two teams we haven't beaten. I'm afraid we haven't seen their bad month yet. I expect Charlie to be gone by June 1st. After that, you trade some guys at the deadline. A team with this kind of payroll and this kind of output is unacceptable.
The irony is that it's those players who make up the largest part of that payroll–with the exception of Halladay–are about the only ones producing. Those "stars" might be on their last legs, but they still seem to be better than the players who might be in line to replace them.
Unless the Phils can find a bunch of Trout/Stanton types, losing those high priced veterans right now will put them in the Astros/Marlins range. And I doubt that even a Cliff Lee would gain them a sure thing player like those two unless all Lee's salary is eaten. That won't really lower the so-called bloated budget.
There's no irony here at all. They're not performing at a level to which they're being paid, which is the tightrope that you walk when you give an aging player a big deal. Ryan Howard is playing at replacement level right now, and has been for a while. Replacement level firstbaseman are not worth $25 million a year. You can get a guy to play at that level for much less money, and then use money to try to build a major league caliber outfield. Roy Halladay was not a $20 million pitcher last year, and I can assure you that he won't be this season. If life was all swingsets and lollipops, it would be swell to pay players based on their past triumphs – but unfortunately this is a business and there's a budget involved. It's all about allocation of resources, and the Phillies have been a bad job of that resulting in a top heavy payroll that negatively effects their ability to fill glaring holes. That's why they're left with the worst outfield in baseball right now.
Don't give me your "swingsets and lollipops" crap.
In case you didn't notice, I never said the players were performing to their pay grade. What I said is that they're the only ones on the team who are performing at all, unless you consider Revere at .200 or Mayberry at .230 or almost any other guy on the team not making at least a few million to be better players than Howard at .280, M. Young over .300, and Utley leading the team in RBIs. The one bad allocation of funds right now is Howard. You might argue that Utley and Halladay were bad deals, but not one expert you could name thought either signing was bad when they happened, and not one expert predicted that Utley's knees would go, or that Halladays work ethic wouldn't carry him through his entire contract.
Stupid deals are made all the time, and not just by the Phils, because baseball is unpredictable and fans all think they have 20/20 hindsight. Wait a few years and see what Pujols is doing for his 1/4 billion dollars, or what the Dodgers get out of their bloated payroll. Or look right now at Toronto. Even the experts never figured that be 10 ganes out so soon, and some had them as AL East favorites.
There was a game last night? I was watching The Hobbit on bluray. Much more entertaining and I went to bed happy.
With my "bright side" comment I was being somewhat sarcastic. Although, going into it, I was hoping for 2 of 3 from the Mets and splitting against the Tribe which would have given them that 3-2 mark. But after sweeping the Mets and seemingly having some sort of momentum (I guess not!), I was thinking 4-1. Gotta think NOTHING LESS than 3-1 vs the Stantonless Marlins.
Yeah…I also hope we've had our "bad month"…which has now stretched into the beginning of May.
Being a sports fan in Philly has always been close to a religion; a belief system often not based on the real world. Remember "Ya gotta believe"? Well we just have to believe in a spiteful God who will crap all over us for at least another ten years.
I certainly would not blame God. Every team has to rebuilld at some point. If it is done right with really good people upstairs, the rebuild can only last a few years. But because the phillies gave away our future unnecessarily, and now keep hanging on for one more year, I can see the rebuild lasting close to what you say. First they should have started last year while cliff had more value and possibly Jimmy. I kind of think the Phil's could have gotten as much for cliff as the mets got for Dickie. They got more than that catcher. They got another big time pitching prospect. Not only have we given away our future unnecessarily, the front office does not know when to take advantage of another teams desperate attempt to win now by giving up good prospects.
Might as well blame God. Without him, players might not get old so quickly, get injured, or management might be more intelligent and not make any bad decisions.
I'm not so sure the Phils gave away the future unnecessarily. Most the prospects given up to acquire the likes of Halladay and Lee haven't exactly been diference makers, and I doubt five pennants in a row would have happened if those trades hadn't been made. The one really questionable deal as far as giving up prospects unnecessarily was was the one for Hunter Pence; possibly the one for Oswalt. Where the front office has gone wrong is with the overly long extensions to aging players (something which seems to be happening now all over baseball), signing free agents for too many years, and by not getting real talent back in deals like Lee for Aumont, Gillies, etc. Another item they've been hurt by is their low positions in the draft, something they don't have total control over.
I can maybe agree, however, that they should have traded Lee last year. I say maybe, though, because I've never heard any names mentioned by the Dodgers when they made their waiver claim.

Hamilton Tops Lizards for Third Straight Win
from press release

HAMILTON, Ontario, Canada -- Led by rookie
midfielder Kevin Crowley, the Hamilton Nationals (4-3) celebrated
Canada Day by earning their third straight win, a 15-9 Major League
Lacrosse victory over the Long Island Lizards (2-5) at Ron Joyce
Stadium on Friday evening.
Crowley, who earned Bud Light Player of the Game honors, recorded the first hat trick of his MLL career by scoring a season-high four goals with two assists. He scored three of his four goals in the first half as the Nationals built a three-goal half-time advantage.
"This was a huge win tonight for us and a team win," Crowley said. "We are a younger team, so we have to be more aggressive. We had guys selling out in the midfield tonight, diving to make plays and working hard for the ground balls."
Led by two goals and an assist from Crowley, the Nationals sprinted out to a 4-0 lead in the game's first 12 minutes. Midfielder Joe Walters also scored a pair of goals with an assist during the spurt.
With seven seconds remaining in the first quarter, rookie attackman Jay Card ended the Nationals' run by scoring off a feed from fellow rookie Brian Karalunas to trim the deficit to 4-1.
The teams traded goals three times in the second quarter, giving Hamilton a 7-4 lead at the intermission.
Led by a goal and an assist each from midfielders Stephen Berger and Stephen Peyser, the Lizards opened the second half by scoring three consecutive goals to tie the game at 7-7 with 9:22 left in the third quarter.
But, the Nationals put together a four-goal run, including a pair of goals from rookie attackman and reigning Offensive Player of the Week Jeremy Boltus, to take an 11-7 advantage with 2:14 remaining in the period.
After Berger scored just over two minutes into the fourth quarter, the Nationals scored four goals in a row to extend their lead to 15-8 with 3:59 left. Midfielder Brett Bucktooth, who scored the game-winning goal in last Saturday's win over Rochester, sparked the run by scoring a goal with an assist.
Berger narrowed the deficit to six when he scored off a feed from former Hamilton attackman John Grant, Jr. with 47 seconds remaining.
While Crowley led the Nationals to the victory, Boltus posted three goals while Walters contributed two goals with two assists. Goalkeeper Scott Rodgers made 15 saves in the victory for Hamilton, which tied a team record with its third win in a row.
Berger led Long Island in a losing effort by scoring three goals with two assists while Peyser and attackman Matt Danowski each scored two goals with an assist.
The Nationals outshot Long Island by a commanding 46-33 margin and had a 44-29 advantage in ground balls.

Leave it to the Dodgers.
The first inning looked promising with seven pitches given by Kuroda-san with the three outs being handled by the second baseman.
Three consecutive hits by the Dodgers and you would think the Dodgers would have scored but no, like Vin Scully said "Leave it to the Dodgers".
Vin was very encouraging in the first inning saying that no lead is safe in August. He pointed out that in August of 1951, the Dodgers lead the pennant by 13 1/2 and lost it. He sited 1964 when the Phillies lead the pennant by 6 1/2 games in September and it got away! On August 23, 1942 the Dodgers led by 7.5 and lost it. Vin made me feel much better but as the game progressed and Vin left me (he only does the first three inning), I felt despair watching the Dodgers out-hit the Padres and lose the game.
Yes, Kemp had a running blunder when he should have scored on the third hit. He ended up going 5/5 short of a triple for the cycle. He apologized after the game that he should have run faster. I accept his apology and I believe he will not do it again. I forgive Kemp because he admitted his mistake and as the saying goes "To err is human, to forgive is divine."
The pitching plus two errors gave up 10 runs with Weaver giving up five runs. With the two errors last night, the Dodgers now have 77 to the Padres 44.
Remember my post He Pitched a perfect game, I get a perfect ball? Well, for one reason or another it had to be postponed but I finally get my baseball signed by Joe Torre and Sandy Koufax tomorrow night! I am super excited! Also in addition I and a guest get to watch BP ON THE FIELD! My friend Lorena and I will be there early! I can't wait!

Yikes! The dreaded 1951 reference.! I say let the new guys settle in and see what happens. You have a lot of ground to make up. Good luck Emm.
Yep the 1951 reference. Well, I am reading more about with the Echoing Green book.
Thanks Mike! I was watching the top Mets moments that they were showin after I got back from our win. Loved hearing Vin there!
I wish the Dodgers luck. Good luck. They've had too much bad luck lately.
Congrats to Andre Ethier and his family on the birth of his second son!
Wow. So glad you're finally getting that ball. I assume we'll see a pic of it on this blog very soon?
Yes Jane! I can't wait to be there. I am supposed to be there at 4:30. I'll be early!
Sandy Koufax and Joe Torre! You'll have a great time; I look forward to reading about it!
The ball is already signed. In fact it has been in a safe place, is just that it was not posible to give it to me before.
Is it time for me to leave work yet and head to the stadium? I can't wait! I am to meet Jeff at 4:30 to get field passes and tickets. I drove all the way to work today. I just could not take a chance that the train was going to be late.
Looking forward to the 'Ball Recieving Account' with pictures of course… I hope all went smoothly and you got as much enjoyment from it as you had anticipated….
You're incredibly lucky to see BP from the field! How fun!
It seems like both our teams are struggling😦
Good things come to those who wait.
Glad you are finally getting an opportunity to get that precious ball, and those two great signatures.
We all know there will be a great Dodger fan photo opportunity in the mix when the ball finally changes hands.
By the way, can you not win so many game in our Fantasy League, by the end of the week I will be close to every division leader but my own…..I feel more like the Rays every week in Fantasy…chasing another team (lol).
Rays Renegade
Kemp has his head in the stars. He needs to be traded to a smaller market team away from the limelight or risk imperiling his future. Though I'm following the Marlins now because I live in Florida, I still love the Dodgers and it pains me to watch them slipping into limbo. I think they should've sold instead or bought at the trade deadline and be ready for next year.
~ Will the Smiler
I couldn't believe we couldn't hit Lannan. He has given up 38 walks and ONLY has 29 strikeouts. Where did our offense go? Are the Dodgers going to limp to the finish line barely over the .500 mark. I still think they have another good run in them. They won't make the playoffs, but I want to see them go down fighting.
BTW if you are interested in another good book about the 1951 pennant race I recommend this one. The Miracle at Coogan's Bluff by Thomas Kiernan. It's the Giant's version of the Boys of Summer. It's written from the Giants point of view and gives a great description of the most famous pennant race ever. Even though our team lost, that pennant race is why I love base ball so much. No other sport can keep your attention going day in and day out for 6 months like baseball.
: )
just seeing what you're up to.
Thanks Mike! You are so sweet to check on me. I've been on DL since early Friday morning with a bad case of food poisoning. My right side still hurts. I was just about to sneeze right not and I had to try to stop it and hold my side. ouch…. heading to the doctor soon

I never got suspended before.
Just for 3 fights, 2 at school and one on the bus. I'm not even close to being a fighter and it probably showed, but we all stand up one day, although looking back it was stupid in 2 out of the three fights Its so weird saying I was in a fight. I' a friendly guy who's so carefree now.

I remember back in public school, I think it was around grade 7 my friends and I we're playing four square outside at lunch, there's usually a few teachers outside supervising and what not. Anyways, I was trying to keep myself in the game and kicked the ball at a strange angle, evidently strong enough to hit one of the teachers square in the nose.
I was suspended for the rest of the afternoon for breaking her nose. I felt awful and it was a complete accident, but people were laughing so hard she thought I did it on purpose! I was framed I tell's ya!

I was never suspended from school, though I should have.
Only did something bad in school twice:
Was during middle school and a guy (John) had been bullying me for weeks. Until one day,I was going to class and he was there sitting outside on the ramp railing (this was in florida state and most schools had portable wooden buildings so they can move them around if needed,etc.) and
he was starting to talk about my mother. He went to far ,don't remember what he said but I walked up to him and punch him right in the jaw so hard that he went over the rail and landed on his shoulder when he hit the ground.
He got up,kept his mouth shut until I was called in the principle office and saw him sitting there. The guy talked to us, and John told him that he had been bullying me and don't want me to be suspended. So I just had to say sorry,shack hands,and return to class.
After that,he never tried to talk crap about me again.
Was when I was in high school and seeing the school had portable classrooms with the power switch just hanging from the side of the building, my friend and I couldn't resist pulling it :D
So I went ahead and shut off the power to the classroom,hearing nothing but "what the hell". My friend and I started to run but ,out of all the days, two fireman visiting the school for a class talk or something pointed to me without saying a word and I knew they wanted me to turn around to turn it back on.
When I did the teacher went outside and told me that she wants me to go to the principle office.
Luckily he was in a good mood and told me never to do it again (doing it in the first place would have been suspension but he let it slide).

Yahoo! Board OKs $1.1 Billion Deal for Tumblr
There was no immediate word about whether the Tumblr board had approved the all-cash deal but an announcement by Yahoo! was expected on Monday.
As part of the deal, Tumblr CEO David Karp would stay with Yahoo! for a least four years and would continue to run Tumblr with a certain amount of autonomy.
Yahoo! CEO Marissa Mayer was reported to be interested in Tumblr, a blogging and social media website, because it would bring a younger audience to Yahoo!. But some vocal Tumblr users have said they would not continue with that service if it became part of Yahoo!
Tumblr's valuation had been put at $800 million. Among its investors are Spark Capital, Union Square Ventures, Sequoia Capital, Greylock Partners, Insight Venture Partners and the Chernin Group.

We went on a vacation about 4 weeks ago. Prior to it, I had started Jay Gordon's nightweaning method - mostly because I'm freaking exhausted.
We are going on a trip in about 2 weeks. I started trying to reintroduce the nightweaning. The first night was an absolute nightmare. The second night was better. Last night, again, was terrible.
She gets so angry. She starts kicking and gripping with her fingernails if I try to hold her rather than nurse. She sobs like she's in absolute agony. I feel so awful, but I also feel like I really am tired of nursing at night.all.night.long.
I wonder if I should even bother with trying to move forward with our trip coming soon. I am pretty sure she will revert once we go. I'm wondering if the fact that I believe that she will freak out without nursing at night on our trip means she's really not developmentally ready to be nightweaned. But then another part of me wonders if it's just her habit, since there are plenty of babies her age and younger who sleep fine without eating all night. Sigh.
Maybe I'm just rambling now...

Vicarious goal fulfillment' or why we choose unhealthy food
Last Tuesday, Connor Moran, a limit-the-red-meat, increase-the-greens, eat-salad-for-lunch kind of guy, stopped into a Bronx Dunkin Donuts for his usual black coffee, no sugar, no cream.
He walked out with a sandwich of egg and bacon between two halves of a glazed doughnut.
Such is the puzzle of the food industry: American consumers, even otherwise healthy ones, keep choosing caloric indulgences rather than healthy foods at fast-food restaurants.
Public health officials have been pushing fast-food restaurants to offer more nutritious foods to help combat excess weight in the United States, where more than one-third of American adults are obese. And restaurants have obliged by adding healthy menu items. But its the sugary, fatty items that are flying or waddling out the door.
The new menu items added by fast-food chains this year indicate as much: a brownie-batter-filled doughnut (Dunkin Donuts), a bacon habanero ranch Quarter Pounder (McDonalds), bacon-filled tater tots (Burger King), a six-slices-of-bacon-and-cheese burger (Carls Jr. and Hardees), a choco-covered pretzel and choco chunk vanilla Blizzard (Dairy Queen), and a chocolate molten lava cake (Arbys).
Then theres the Glazed Donut Breakfast Sandwich from Dunkin Donuts that Moran tried. It was rolled out nationally this month after a Massachusetts test that was a viral hit, the companys executive chef told The Boston Globe earlier this month. Within days of the test, people were sending pictures, tweeting look what I got! or this is so wrong! and it was just incredible.
If unhealthy food is wrong, restaurant visitors apparently dont want to be right.
McDonalds chief executive officer, Donald Thompson, said recently that although the chain had devoted one-sixth of its advertising time to salads, they make up 2 to 3 percent of sales, and dont drive growth. Perhaps it would make more sense to give consumers vegetables by stuffing them inside McWraps, Thompson said.
And while restaurants try lower-calorie options an egg-white sandwich here, a turkey burger there the unhealthy stuff is what consumers order its, quite frankly, on them, said Darren Tristano, executive vice president at Technomic, a food-industry consulting firm.
Gavan J. Fitzsimons, a professor who studies consumer psychology at Dukes Fuqua School of Business, has researched the disconnect.
In studies, he has presented participants with a range of menu choices sometimes just unhealthy items, sometimes neutral items (like a fish sandwich) and sometimes healthy choices like salad. It turned out that including a healthy option did change peoples behavior by making them eat more unhealthily.
When you put a healthy option up there on an otherwise unhealthy menu, not only do we not pick it, but its presence on the menu leads us to swing over and pick something thats worse for us than we normally would, Fitzsimons said.
Why? Fitzsimons called the phenomenon vicarious goal fulfillment. By seeing a healthy menu option at a restaurant, it basically satisfies that goal to be healthy, he said, and gives consumers leeway to order what they want.
And health-conscious eaters are the most susceptible to picking unhealthy items when the menu also has healthy ones. Its often the ones raising their hands, saying they would pick the salad, those are the ones that are the most at risk when they walk in, he said.
The road to hell may be paved with good intentions, but so, apparently, is the road to high cholesterol.
Its a conflict the Nobel-winning economist Thomas C. Schelling described in his book Choice and Consequence: People behave sometimes as if they had two selves, one who wants clean lungs and long life and another who adores tobacco, or one who wants a lean body and another who wants dessert, he wrote. The two are in continual contest for control.
Even when consumers are explicitly told the calories a food contains, it doesnt change their behavior much.
Brian Elbel, an assistant professor of population health and health policy at New York Universitys School of Medicine, studied consumer behavior before and after the city required chain restaurants to post calorie counts in 2008.
He found that 54 percent of respondents in New York City said they noticed the calorie labeling. Of those, less than a quarter said they ate fewer calories as a result.
But their behavior did not, in fact, change. When Elbel analyzed consumers receipts, he found that there was no difference in calories consumed, whether people said they responded to the calorie counts or not. Consumers may be engaging in what behavioral economists call hyperbolic discounting, he said. Its just easier to imagine what this is going to feel like now, and harder to think through what it feels like later, he said.
When New York City financed another study after the calorie labeling went into effect, overall, the study found no difference in calories consumed before and after the labeling requirement. But there were specific changes.
While just 15 percent of customers said they used the calorie information, those who did ate 106 fewer calories than those who didnt. Some chains like McDonalds and KFC saw significant reductions. But at Subway, which nutrition experts say has one of the healthier menus around, and where a higher-than-average percentage of customers said they read calorie information, the number of calories consumed actually increased, from 749 to 882. The researchers hypothesized this was because Subway was promoting $5 footlong subs at the time, and economic incentives trumped healthy intentions.
What were learning from whats happening in the industry is, consumers dont see fast food as a place to eat healthy, said Tristano, the food consultant. Its indulgence thats important.
Researchers are thinking of new ways to signal nutritional value: how much exercise it would take to burn off a menu item, symbols like traffic lights, or educational campaigns on understanding calories.
But they are not leaving it up to the restaurants.
Theyre not social service agencies theyre places that are trying to make money by selling food. Thats their business, said Marion Nestle, a professor of nutrition, food studies and public health at New York University. Sugar, salt and fat sells.
As Thompson of McDonalds put it, Were in this time period where people are defining quote-unquote healthy and non-healthy, and the question really is, in the restaurant business, what does the customer want? he said.
For Hannah Terry-Whyte, an Australian food blogger visiting the United States last week, it wasnt so much the indulgence she was after as the cultural experience when she ordered the doughnut breakfast sandwich.
As an Australian, that, to me, is such the epitome of crazy American food behavior that I kind of had to try it, she said.
Still, even she wasnt immune to its meat-and-sugar seductiveness. Asked if she would try it again, she said, You know what? Maybe. Yeah. Probably.MORE IN Wire NewsUNIVERSAL CITY, Calif.

Location: Warmwater Aquaculture Research Unit
Project Number: 6066-31000-009-07-R
Project Type: Reimbursable
Start Date: Feb 1, 2009
End Date: Jan 31, 2012
Determine steroid levels in reproductive catfish to determine early signs of reproductive success. Evaluate the use of ultrasound estimation of ovary size, level of plasma steroids, group/family of origin, and body weight as predictors of incidence and timing of pond spawning of 2 and 3 year old channel catfish. Evaluate use of ultrasound imaging to sort female channel catfish broodfish on commercial farms into two groups based on estimated ovary size (large vs. small ovaries), and compare steroid levels and incidence and time of spawning of these two groups. Determine the influence of chemical, biological and environmental factors on channel catfish respiration, growth and production, and develop and test practical management methods to minimize limits on production. Induce early maturation in channel catfish.
Catfish blood will be analyzed for steroid levels using HPLC/MS. Ultrasound images of female channel catfish ovaries and plasma steroid hormone levels of male and female channel catfish will be collected prior to the spawning season. Fish will be allowed to mate at random in spawning ponds and parentage of spawns will be determined via molecular markers. Statistical analysis will be conducted to determine if ultrasound imaging or steroid hormone levels are predictive of spawning time and incidence. Female channel catfish will be sorted based on ultrasound image predicted ovary size on commercial catfish farms to determine if ultrasound image of ovary size can be used to predict spawning success of females on commercial catfish farms. Ten standard hatchery troughs will be operated during the 2008 spawning season. Spawns will be weighed and sampled prior to being placed in the incubator, and the number of sac fry produced from each trough will be determined, allowing for a calculation of hatch rate. A similar number of troughs will be operated and sampled using the traditional method. Water flow rates, dissolved oxygen concentrations, and water temperature will be monitored. Fish will be exposed to different environmental temperature regimes.

Paul Dano in New York Times T
From BEING THERE to being chic, Paul Dano popped up in a recent editorial layout in T: the New York Times fashion mag. In "Style to a T | Paul Dano," the star of Paul Weitz's new film showed up in a Hermès pajama-top shirt in a stunning shot by photographer Cass Bird. In another section, "Asked & Answered," Dano talks in more depth about himself and BEING FLYNN. At one point he, reminisces about starring next to one of the icons of the film world, Robert De Niro:
It was great. He was a very warm, gentle, sweet guy to me. And when we're at work we're both pretty focused and prepared. At first, you immediately try to get over the fact that he's Robert De Niro. You get the part. You're excited, but then you have to push it aside because you don't want to be on the set thinking about who he is. He's your father; he's this character. But, there was a day, it was later in the shoot, and we had this scene, a five-page scene, we spent all day working on it. And I was walking home, and was like, Damn, I just spent 12 hours shooting a scene with Robert De Niro. So, every now and then, I'd allow myself to feel good about it.

omg...... that Amare pic just scarred me for life
Are you kidding me? All 3 are going to have major roles tonight!
Between 1 and 10 minutes combined
Between 11 and 20 minutes combined
None of the 3 will see the floor, D'antoni will only go 8 deep
Tonight's Matchup:
WNY_Knickfan's Line-up Prediction:
For the Knicks:
PG- Toney Douglas
SG- Landry Fields
SF- Carmelo Anthony
PF- Josh Harrellson*
C- Tyson Chandler
*Amare Stoudemire is listed as a game time decision after missing the shootaround. I don't expect him to play, no reason to come back until ankle is 100% at this point in the season.
Iman Update: Shumpert looked very active at the shootaround, making cuts on the injured knee. Looks like he'll be back in action on the short end of that predicted 2-4 weeks!
For the Craptors:
PG- Jose Calderon
SG- Demar Derozan
SF-Rasual Butler
PF- Andrea Bargnani
C- Amir Johnson
Quick thoughts- Toronto's bigs (Amir Johnson, Jamal Magloire) are foul magnets, so staying out of early foul trouble for Tyson Chandler could be big, as he can utilize the roll to get their best physical presences a spot on the bench.
Landry Fields should have his hands full with Demar Derozan, a young player I like alot in this league. I expect Landry to have gained confidence from his last outing, and he should make Derozan prove he can consistently hit the jumper, the kid is a beast when get gets moving towards the rim.
Calderon is still a solid pg, good assist/turnover ratio and can still hit the 3 if Toney goes under the screens.
Bargnani is obviously their top gun, but I think a combination of Harrellson and maybe some Balkman can frustrate him, we just need Bargnani to not go off from the 3 point line like crazy.
Prediction- Knicks win, 103-92, and Bargnani becomes the 2nd straight opposing 4 to demand a trade following the game... ok maybe not, but hopefully we win by at least 1!
Craptors have had moments this year for a team I expect to finish last in the Atlantic, however it's their turn to play their 3rd road game in 4 nights, and I think we are a tougher opponent to finish with than the Kings were for us.
Scout Ryan Wallace had this to say on TKB about Toronto's defense:
"Defense: Dwane Casey is quoted as saying he wants to change the defensive culture in Toronto. Toronto plays very feisty man to man defense. Dwane Casey is also the architect of the Dallas Mavericks 2-3 zone used so effectively vs. the Miami Heat in the Finals, and Toronto uses it extensively. On two occasions the Raptors used the zone to get back in the game at the end of the 2nd and 3rd quarters vs. Dallas. Didnt use the zone vs. Orlando due to having the lead most of the game and Orlandos three point shooters. You must attack this zone with dribble penetration and not settle for hoisting three pointers. Same thing vs. man to man as Toronto lacks any real shot blocking."
Mike? MIKE?!! Please read this Mike, no settling for hoisting threes right?
Last but not least... just for you KingStarbury
Her best effort or not, I definitely would Ciara

omg...... that Amare pic just scarred me for life
that area doesnt seem to be much cause its probably all bitten off by the sucking some of you fanboys on here do to it, i call another Knicks win tonight without Renissance Man
image courtesy amareisreal
"Tough times don't last forever, tough people do"
Another "should" win game regardless of whether or not we have our full complement of players, especially since it is on our home floor. A matchup like this is where we'll really see if we're capable of adjusting our offense to breach the other team's defensive scheme or we're just going to keep rolling out the same effort regardless of whether it suits the situation.
Any which way, I'll be watching this game tonight at the gym while standing on a treadmill for two and a half hours (thanks Time Warner and MSG).
You sir, are unbelievably awesome hanging on the treadmill all game, if my gym out my way had anything that would show MSG I'd be all over it, but before you do that bro check your time warner, I'm same problem, I am in Rochester but til jan 8th we have league pass, game is supposed to be on one of those channels, not holding my breath come tip off that'll actually work for me, but worth a check. Otherwise I'll be watching ****ty online feed
"Tough times don't last forever, tough people do"
Welp time to get this stream link ready... sigh... Go NYK tho
Nice game thread brother...its clear that the 2nd picture of Amare is much newer. His physique has improved since taking that photo for ESPN, if you look at the first one very closely (zoom in on his thighs) you can tell he didnt used to do squats.
Anyways, i think we can count on Stat not playing tonight. I have no insider information other then the fact that hes soft.
"Tough times don't last forever, tough people do"

I'm abandoning you guys. I know, it's sooo soon from the last time. I've barely been home a week and I'm heading out already. This time, you won't have a substitute to entertain you. My family is going on vacation for a whole week!! It really is too soon after my last trip, but that's OK. I'm going to miss blogging soooo much, as well as the Padres games. I've just started getting back into them. Ah, oh well. We're going to have fun, I'm sure, and don't worry: I'm not planning on going anywhere for a while after we get back next Sunday.
Cheer on those Padres for me while I'm gone🙂

I hope you enjoy your vacation! Have fun!🙂 -Virginia
Kaybee – have a wonderful, wonderful vacation! Family time is to be cherished – it goes by much too quickly. I'll keep an eye on your guys for you!
