Power pop band Tommy Tutone made one particular phone number all the rage in 1982 with their No. 4 hit song "867-5309/Jenny." While the band is often recalled as a one-hit wonder, it already had scored another top-40 hit on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 with "Angel Say No" in 1980. Check out some other "one-hit wonders" that actually reached the top 40 more than once during their careers.
Scottish rock band Simple Minds hit No. 1 in 1985 with "Don't You (Forget About Me)" from "The Breakfast Club" soundtrack. While that remains their best known song, they hit No. 3 that same year with "Alive and Kicking," the first song from their seventh album, "Once Upon a Time." They weren't done, though. That same album produced the No. 14 hit "Sanctify Yourself" and the No. 28 hit "All the Things She Said." They also hit No. 40 with the song "See the Lights" in 1991.
Falco's "Rock Me Amadeus" topped the Billboard Hot 100 chart in 1986, making him the only artist whose principal language was German to score a No. 1 hit in the United States. He was no one-hit wonder, though. His follow-up single, "Vienna Calling," reached No. 18 on the chart, although it was his last song to chart in America.
Norwegian pop band a-ha topped the singles charts in 36 countries, including the U.S., with 1985's "Take on Me." "The Sun Always Shines on T.V.," the third single from their debut album, "Hunting High and Low," reached No. 20 in the U.S. later in the year.
Canadian New Wave band Men Without Hats hit it big in 1983 with the No. 3 hit "The Safety Dance." They never quite reached the same level of success, but they did manage to hit No. 20 four years later with the song "Pop Goes the World."
Cutting Crew's "(I Just) Died in Your Arms Tonight" is one of the best-known hit songs of the 1980s, shooting to No. 1 in 1987. The English rock band never quite equalled the success of their debut single, but they did reach No. 38 with "One for the Mockingbird" and No. 9 with "I've Been in Love Before," both also off their debut album, "Broadcast."
Rockwell's "Somebody's Watching Me" was a No. 2 hit in 1983 thanks to some high profile guest vocals from Michael Jackson. The fledgling R&B singer was able to secure Jackson's involvement because, as the son of Motown founder Berry Gordy, he was childhood pals with the King of Pop. While Rockwell didn't have Jacko around for his follow-up single, "Obscene Phone Caller," he still managed to ride the wave of popularity from his debut single all the way to No. 35. But he never saw the Billboard Hot 100 chart again.
Dead or Alive saw "You Spin Me Round (Like a Record)" hit No. 11 in September 1985. While most casual fans probably won't remember, the British New Wave band had another hit a little more than a year later with "Brand New Lover," which peaked at No. 15 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.
Don't let the name fool you, the New Wave band Berlin had no connections to Germany. The Los Angeles band topped the charts with "Take My Breath Away" from the 1986 Tom Cruise blockbuster "Top Gun." However, the hit song came a couple years after their first hit, 1984's "No More Words," which peaked at No. 23.
Young M.C. taught everybody to "Bust a Move" in 1989, but he wasn't done. The young rapper born as Marvin Young followed up his his No. 7 hit with "Principal's Office," which made it No. 33 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.
Wang Chung immortalized themselves in their No. 2 hit "Everybody Have Fun Tonight" in 1986, singing the oft-quoted lyric "Everybody Wang Chung tonight." But while that song remains the band's most well-known hit, it wasn't their first and wouldn't be their last. They previously released the hits "Don't Let Go" and "Dance Hall Days" in 1984, which reached No. 38 and No. 16 respectively. Their two follow-up singles to "Everybody Have Fun Tonight," "Let's Go" and "Hypnotize Me," hit No. 9 and No. 36.
You're forgiven if you don't even recognize the name Animotion. But you more than likely are familiar with the Los Angeles synthpop band's biggest hit, 1984's "Obsession," which hit No. 4 on the Billboard Hot 100. While the band broke up before the 1980s were even over, they did manage to snag a couple more hits with 1985's "Let Him Go" reaching No. 39 and 1989's "Room to Move" hitting No. 9, thanks in part to its inclusion in the movie "My Stepmother is an Alien."
Before he found fame as an actor, Mark Wahlberg was doling out "Good Vibrations" leading up the hip-hop band Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch. Their big hit reached No. 1 in 1991, but music fame quickly faded away for them. But not before they took "Wildside," which heavily samples Lou Reed's "Walk on the Wild Side," to No. 10 as their second single.
If you like your tunes incessantly cheery, it's hard to go wrong with "Walking on Sunshine" by Katrina and The Waves. The 1985 hit has been used and overused in movies, TV shows and advertisements almost since it first came out. But the song, which hit No. 9, was not the band's only hit. Katrina and The Waves recorded two more top-40 U.S. hits: "Do You Want Crying?," which made it to No. 37 later in 1985, and "That's the Way," which peaked at No. 16 in 1989.
Besides his big voice and larger-than-life personality, The Big Bopper, aka J.P. Richardson Jr., was best known for his hit "Chantilly Lace," which climbed to No. 6 in the summer of 1958. But the former radio disc jockey had another hit later that year in the novelty tune "The Big Bopper's Wedding," which peaked at No. 10, before his career was cut short in the same Feb. 3, 1959, plane crash that also killed Buddy Holly and Ritchie Valens.
Besides lead singer Mike Score's hairdo, A Flock of Seagulls will forever be known for their hit song "I Ran (So Far Away)," which hit No. 9 in 1982. The group also scored U.S. hits with their next two singles, "Space Age Love Song," which made it to No. 30, and "Wishing (If I Had a Photograph of You)," which peaked at No. 26.
Rupert Holmes hit No. 1 in 1979 with "Escape (The Piña Colada Song)," but he also had two hits the following year, hitting No. 6 hit with "Him" and No. 36 with "Answering Machine."
EMF hit No. 1 in the U.S. in 1991 with the debut single "Unbelievable." "Lies," their fourth single from their debut album, "Schubert Dip," also broke through the top 40, reaching No. 18.
The Scottish duo Stealers Wheel is best known for the No. 6 hit "Stuck in the Middle With You," but they also landed one other top-40 hit in America, 1975's "Star," which reached No. 29.
Kriss Kross are, of course, best remembered for their hit 1992 song "Jump," which was No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 for eight weeks. But Chris "Mac Daddy" Kelly and Chris "Daddy Mac" Smith also had a No. 14 hit with their follow-up single, "Warm It Up." They also had hits with 1993's "Alright" and 1995's "Tonite's tha Night."
Jesus Jones hit it big with the song "Right Here, Right Now," which climbed to No. 2 in 1990 and later became nearly unavoidable in advertising campaigns. But the song wasn't the British band's first hit. They had hit No. 4 with the song "Real Real Real," the first single off the album "Doubt," which also featured "Right Here, Right Now."
Remember in the late 1980s when the English pop rock band The Escape Club seemed poised to take over the world? They hit it big in 1988 with the title track from their second album, "Wild, Wild West," but quickly fizzled out over the next couple years. But not before releasing a couple more top 40 hits, including "Shake for the Sheik," which hit No. 28, and "I'll Be There," which reached No. 8.
Everybody remembers C+C Music Factory's hit dance song "Gonna Make You Sweat (Everybody Dance Now)." While that 1990 song is an essential for any 1990s playlist, few recall the band also had three other top 40 singles, including the No. 3 hit "Here We Go (Let's Rock & Roll)" and the No. 4 hit "Things That Make You Go Hmmm..."
A Canadian reggae rapper shouldn't work, right? But Snow proved everybody wrong, briefly, with his 1992 song "Informer." His No. 1 hit was unavoidable for a while but he just as quickly faded away. But not before his follow-up single, "Girl I've Been Hurt," reached No. 19.
Ah, Mr. Big, what would the early 1990s have been without your hit sing-along song "To Be With You"? If you blinked and missed the band's other hits, "Just Take My Heart," which reached No. 16, and a cover of Cat Stevens' "Wild World" that made it to No. 27, you're not alone.
Gerardo. Say it with us: "Rico…. Sauve." Don't act like you and everybody you knew didn't own the cassette single back in 1991. The first single off the Ecuadorian-American rapper's debut album, "Mo' Ritmo," hit No. 7 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart. But it wasn't his last hit on the chart. His cover version of "We Want the Funk," from the same album, also reached No. 16 in 1991.
To most people, Vanilla Ice is a one-hit wonder relic of the early 1990s. But die-hard fans who celebrate his entire catalogue know he's much more than just "Ice Ice Baby." He also had a No. 4 hit with "Play That Funky Music," which was originally the A-side to "Ice Ice Baby" but was overshadowed when the B-side became a hit. But Vanilla's cover of the Wild Cherry hit was released as its own single and found more success. "I Love You," his third single from the album "To the Extreme" didn't fare quite as well, reaching only No. 52 on the Billboard Hot 100.
Nelson, the rock duo consisting of Ricky Nelson's twin sons Matthew and Gunnar Nelson, burst onto the early 1990s music scene with the No. 1 hit "(Can't Live Without Your) Love and Affection." Since they faded from the limelight pretty quickly, it's easy to forget that the next three singles from their debut album, "After the Rain," all were top-40 hits on the Billboard Hot 100: "After the Rain" hit No. 6, "More than Ever" was No. 14 and "Only Time Will Tell" made it to No. 28.
The Knack rose to fame with their first single, the No. 1 hit "My Sharona," in 1979. While the song remains the one most identified with the band, they recorded two more songs that found their way up the Billboard Hot 100 chart: "Good Girls Don't" at No. 11 and "Baby Talks Dirty" at No. 38.
C.W. McCall tapped into the rising fad of CB radios in America with his 1976 No. 1 hit "Convoy." While the song has become his signature hit, and a favorite of road-tripping country music aficionados ever since, it wasn't his first hit. McCall first charted the song "Wolf Creek Pass," which reached No. 40 in 1975.
Another favorite driving song comes from the Dutch rock band Golden Earring in the form of "Radar Love," which reached No. 13 in the U.S. in 1973. They bettered that nearly a decade later with their second, and last, hit "Twilight Zone," which peaked at No. 10 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1982 and also topped Billboard's Top Album Tracks chart.
The Bay City, Mich., rock band ? and the Mysterians became the first Latino rock band to have a mainstream hit record in the United States with 1966's "96 Tears," which sold more than 1 million records and peaked at No. 1 on the Billboard pop chart. While the band was unable to replicate that level of success, they did make it to No. 22 later that same year with the follow-up "I Need Somebody."
The Archies were a fictional bubblegum pop band made up of session players to capitalize on the success of the Archie Comics. So you wouldn't expect them to have much of a shelf life. However, their iconic No. 1 hit "Sugar, Sugar" wasn't their only hit and wasn't even their first. The band hit No. 22 with their debut single "Bang-Shang-A-Lang" in 1968 and followed up "Sugar, Sugar" with the No. 10 hit "Jingle Jangle." They also managed one more top-40 hit, just barely, with the No. 40 song "Who's Your Baby?" in 1970.
Every so often a TV theme song breaks onto the singles chart and makes some noise. That was the case for The Rembrandts, the pop rock duo who saw their song "I'll Be There for You" become a No. 17 hit in 1995 after it was used as the theme song for the sitcom "Friends." But four years earlier The Rembrandts hit No. 14 with the song "Just the Way It Is, Baby."
Canadian singer-songwriter Alannah Myles is best known for her hit song "Black Velvet," which hit No. 1 in 1989. But while the ode to Elvis Presley was her biggest hit, it wasn't her first. She had previously reached No. 36 on the Billboard Hot 100 with the song "Love Is," the first single off her self-titled debut album.
Martika got her start on the Disney Channel series "Kids Incorporated," but she found success on her own with the song "Toy Soldiers," which spent two weeks at No. 1 in 1989. While the song, which was sampled by Eminem in 2004, remains her most remembered hit, she actually had three more songs reach the top 40 of the Billboard Hot 100: "More Than You Know," which reached No. 18, the Carole King cover "I Feel the Earth Move," which topped out at No. 25, and the No. 10 hit "Love… Thy Will Be Done."
Irish-British singer-songwriter Chris de Burgh hit No. 3 with "The Lady in Red" in 1986. Today, it remains the song he is most known for, but it wasn't even his first U.S. hit. De Burgh previously had reached No. 34 in 1982 with "Don't Pay the Ferryman."
Singer-songwriter Michael Sembello hit No. 1 and earned an Oscar nomination and a Grammy for the song "Maniac," which became a smash hit thanks to being featured in the 1983 movie "Flashdance." His follow-up single, "Automatic Man," made it to No. 34 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. Sembello has largely focused on film scores since his initial success, contributing music to movies such as "Cocoon," "Gremlins," "The Monster Squad" and "Independence Day."
Pop singer Stacey Q is best known for her 1986 hit "Two of Hearts," which climbed all the way to No. 3. Her follow-up, "We Connect," was less successful, but still managed to peak at No. 35. However, it would be the last top-40 hit of her career.
The rock band Great White hit it big in 1989 with "Once Bitten, Twice Shy," which reached all the way to No. 5 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. Their follow-up single, "The Angel Song," made it to No. 30, but would be the band's last top-40 hit on the chart.

In 1956, Drs. Joe Tjio and Albert Lavan confirmed that there were 23 pairs of chromosomes in humans. Up until that time, it had been thought that there were 48 chromosomes, but using a more sensitive technology, Tjio and Lavan were able to confirm that there were, in fact, only 46. (1) This discovery by Tjio and Lavan is generally considered to be the beginning of modern "cytogenetics," which is the study of chromosomes and the diseases caused by either numerical and/or structural abnormalities in them.
Because it was thought that all men had 22 pairs of autosomes plus one X and one Y sex-determining chromosomes, they were (and still are) referred to as 46,XY; and because it was thought that all women had the same 22 pairs of automsomes plus two X chromosomes, they were (and still are) referred to as 46,XX.
Three years after Tjio and Lavan's confirmation of 46 chromosomes in humans, in 1959, a young English researcher named Patricia Jacobs and her associate described the first chromosmal abnormality in man, the extra X chomosome in an estimated 80% of the men with Klinefelter syndrome and all of the men who are 47,XXY. Later than year, Dr. Jacobs identified the extra X in Trisomy X (47,XXX). (2) As technology has continued to improve, scientists have been able to identify conditions involving a greater or lesser number of chromosomes, as well as to find persons who have a mixture of chromosomal number, which is referred to as "mosaicism" and in which, for example, some cells may contain 45 or 46 chromosomes, and other cells may obtain 47 or more chromosomes.
How common are variations in the number of X and/or Y chromosomes?
It is estimated that between 10% and 30% of all fertilized human eggs have either more or less than 46 chromosomes, resulting in approximately one-third of all miscarriages, and in turn the leading known cause of pregnancy loss. (3) Most people have heard about Downs syndrome, which results from an extra copy of chromosome 21, and occurs in approximately 1 out of 1000 live births, or one of several other chromosomal variations which are even less common, occurring in as few as 1 out of 10,000 births.
Ironically, although far less well known – probably because they are the least severe and have little or no dysmorphism – the most common chromosomal variations in full-term births occur on the X and/or Y chromosomes. For instance, with respect to the X chromosome, Turner syndrome refers to females who are born with only 45 chromosomes.
Girls who are born with an extra X chromosome are referred to as Triple X or Trisomy X. Boys, who are born with an extra X chromosome are 47,XXY and at risk for developing Klinefelter syndrome. And boys, who are born with an extra Y chromosome are referred to as 47,XYY. In addition, there are a number of other X and/or Y conditions including up to 49 chromosomes. These include 48,XXXX, 48XXXY, 48XXYY and 48XYYY; and although increasingly rare, also 49XXXXX, 49XXXXY, 49XXXYY, 49XXYYY and 49XYYY.
So many X's and Y's… Aren't they all simply variations of Klinefelter syndrome…?
No, they are not. Although each of the variations in the number of X and/or Y chromosomes are obviously related to some degree, it is incorrect for example to characterize 48XXYY as being a variant of Klinefelter syndrome per se. As noted in the sections specifically discussing 47XXY and Klinefelter syndrome, 47XXY males are at a heightened risk of developing Klinefelter syndrome - which is the name attributed to a particular combination of signs and symptoms. It has been shown that 48XXYY males are at a heightened risk of developing a different - and in many ways a more severe - set of signs and symptoms, some of which overlap with Klinefelter syndrome and others that are quite distinct and/or different.
Accordingly, although it is true that XXYY is a variation of XXY, XYY, XXXY, XYYY and other X and Y chromosome aneuploidies, it is preferable to view 48XXYY as not being a variant of Klinefelter syndrome. In fact, by grouping 48XXYY along with Klinefelter syndrome in much of the early literature concerning X and Y chromosome aneuploidies, medical researchers and scientists have inadvertently made it more challenging for families and individuals with XXYY to seek and receive the appropriate levels of treatment and support.
Professionals who rely on literature that does not explicitly distinguish between the signs and symptoms of Klinefelter syndrome and those signs and symptoms typically occurring with "XXYY syndrome" often contend that a patient's complaints are not related to the extra chromosomes because such symptoms are not reported to be part of Klinefelter syndrome. As a consequence, such providers tend to refer patients for numerous additional, often unnecessary, evaluations and defer commencing appropriate care. This can lead to added costs both for testing and treatment regimes that end in disappointment.
By comparison, when professionals understand that XXYY syndrome has its own distinct set of signs and symptoms – a number of which are totally discrepant from Klinefelter syndrome - this confusion can be minimized and a holistic treatment can be pursued that is targeted and appropriate to the condition. For example, contrast the usefulness of a doctor saying: "Oh yes, that [sign or symptom] has been found to be present in boys who are 48XXYY and here is what we do about addressing it…" with the practitioner who instead says "This is not a Klinefelter syndrome thing, and therefore this patient needs to undergo additional testing and you may want to consider family therapy to deal with some of these behaviors…."
The preferred approach recognizes that the biology of 48XXYY is constitutionally different from individuals who have Klinefelter syndrome (be they 47XXY or not), and avoids parents and providers of 48XXYY boys setting unrealistic goals and expectations, postponing more intense early intervention services on a "wait and see" basis as may be more common with 47XXY and/or 47XYY, and/or being told that harmful environmental influences such as poor parenting may be the reason for aberrant behaviors that are uncommon in boys who are 47XXY.
Where can I turn for condition-specific information and support for 48 XXYY?
Although we anticipate that a number of the features, interactive tools and materials available through AXYS's website may also be of assistance, AXYS strongly encourages families and individuals dealing with 48XXYY, or this pre-natal diagnosis, to contact the XXYY Project, whose mission is "to build the capacity of parents and service providers to assist XXYY males in leading purposeful, productive lives."
Where can I turn for condition-specific information and support for other conditions involving two or more extra X and/or Y chromosomes?
We are unaware of other organizations or groups who provide support for these conditions. Accordingly, in the meantime families and individuals dealing with one of these conditions, or a pre-natal diagnosis of one of them, are welcome to use the features, interactive tools and materials available through AXYS's website and to call us for additional information and we will endeavor to place you in touch with other families in our database who are addressing the same or the most similar condition.
Please call AXYS's offices at (888) 999-9428 or contact us either to get help locating resources or to let us know that you have an organization that you would like for us to consider adding to this section.

Yes !!! Welcome !
Just a quick post to get myself started. I've been training the Westside BB Conjugate system for a couple of weeks now. Today's workout is below. Gym is going through a renovation of sorts so a bunch of things were missing and I was in a rush so I only got 2 exercises in. I know this contest is Deadlifts and Bench but today was a squat day so I thought I'd share it anyway. I'll get my deadlift max next time. I'm sure I'll get more detailed as time goes on and when I do a full workout. Tomorrow I have more time for the bench workout and I'll be able to post my max for the bench press contest here.
Current stats:
235lbs - last week. I'll check again tomorrow see if it's changed to be more accurate.
Max Effort: Squat
Squat - back squat neutral stance. Worked up to a 495 single. (video coming)
Glute/Hip Thrusts: 315 x 12 x 3. I've got some more in me with these I can tell.
Yes !!! Welcome !
Thanks bro. Working on the video from today. Of course have to set up a YouTube channel and all that fun stuff.
Always a pain in the ass I feel you

Max Effort Squat Day
I've got a lot of walking around going on and on my last set it was nice that he wanted to spot me but if I dumped it he couldn't do a damn thing.
Good weight and depth!
Fwiw I trust safety bars more than spotters any day.
Thanks man, it felt good. Close to my limit though but I felt good.
He asked if I wanted help and I said I should be fine. Got the rack right there to catch the bar if I dumped so I'm good. He's a good kid, means well. Always asks for advice etc. A few guys like that at that gym. I talk to them and it slows my workout some but I don't mind sharing what I know.
You made that look easy.
Your form is spot on.
can't wait to see were you end up with this.
Thanks guys.
Mach, it certainly didn't feel easy. But I have to say that keeping in mind the idea of speed strength while lifting these weights helps me a lot. The dynamic training days have really helped me focus on more than just being strong... need to be fast also. Combine the two and then you have "power" which is the goal here. That Louie Simmons knows his shit huh?
Wow you made both he 455 and the 95 look easy... Nice work.
wow looked solid buddy nice work!
Thanks guys. I've got a ways to go yet.
Max Effort Bench Day
Flat BB Bench
135 x 10
225 x 8
275 x 5
315 x 3
365 x 1
Inc DB unilateral presses
2 sets of 80 x 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1
* these were done individually while holding the other one up. Both above my chest at start, then do 5 reps with teh right hand leaving the left up, then 5 with the left leaving the right up, then 4 with the right and so on all the way down to 1 rep per side.
EZ Curl bar
3 x 85 x 12
Swiss ball crunches with a 130db on my chest.
Here's the video of my bench. You'll notice a pause on the eccentric and that's because my biceps tendons and forearm tendons hurt when I go heavy. I need to build their strength up. I think part of the reason they're strained is from squatting. I don't have great flexibility in my shoulders and my tendons used to hurt while doing heavy squats. I know I need to stretch a lot more. I'm also going to pick up some Cissuss. Can I blame some of this on being 48?
I absolutely HATE that bench but I wasn't near my home gym today so I did what I had to do.
Piss on that bouncing bench and wide spacing on the hooks. I can see why you hate it.
My flat bench is only 225 so you've got me stomped. Recovery is a slow process :/
Questions to fix this....
1.whats with the studder stop at the top? Is that a normal thing or not the norm?
2. When you max where do you normally get stuck in he rep? Top, middle or bottom? < there is a reason for that.
3. The widest allowed hand placement is pointer finger on the widest ring on the bar.
the more info you can give the more I can give thought to fix this.
I thought this thread was about raw powder...
Of course the music they play is crap also. Luckily I have AC/DC or the industrial channel on Pandora playing in my ears.
Take your time with the recovery brother. No sense pushing to fast.
2- When I max I will always get stuck about 1/4 - 1/3 of the way up from my chest. Pretty early on.
3- When training I alternate hand width with each workout. I've never been real comfortable with the real wide grip though. I know it makes for a shorter lifting range and I should probably try to do it more. That video I had my pinkies on the ring so a pretty narrow grip.
Nice video !
What are you using to splice multiple lifts into one video. I need to start doing that,.
Shoulder presses are decent. I've been playing with standing and seated on the floor, DB etc. They're actually coming up next week in the rotation.
Yep, I did say he knows his stuff. I read he suggests using different grips during training to hit the movement from slightly different ways to build a total that's greater if sticking to one placement. (best I can describe it for now) Having said that I do only one width when trying for a max/competing. That's the width in the video and the width I've been accustomed to using my whole life, which yes is based on my BB background. I do try to "bend the bar" keep the elbows in about 45 degree angle from my body etc. I also used to bench with a thumbless grip and now doing all bench work with a thumbed grip. Much safer.
Very strong!! Your bench could go up a lot if you used more of a powerlifting position for the lift rather than bodybuilding. Nice lift though.
I know my position isn't the most advantageous for powerlifting. I've tried to arch my back more, pull myself into position etc. Hurts my friggin back lol. Seriously my flexibility is crap and I've had issues before with my C7 vertebrata spinning out of alignment on occasion. When I over arch my back I feel 'something' there.
History: Years a go I was simply getting out of bed and something gripped my ribs so tight I couldn't breath without pain. I was able to relax it enough to live a day or two until I got in to see an osteopath. he felt my spine and said my C7 'spun' a little and when do so it pulls the nerves with it. Those nerves apparently innervate the intercostals. So every time I took a breath it would hurt. He pushed it back in place and I felt immediately better. It happen once more and I haven't had an incidence ever since. I do feel that spot once in a while so I'm careful not to aggravate it too much.
I'll be happy to work on the form and get myself into a better position than I am in now. This old dog (48) still wants to learn new things so let's get this the best it can be.
Do you have a foam roller ?

Deutsche Bank hedge fund spinout targets $250m
A former quantitative trading chief at Deutsche Bank is hoping to raise as much as $250 million for a managed futures hedge fund that he will begin marketing in earnest this year.
Philippe Azoulay, who spent six years in charge of all the quantitative aspects of Deutsche Bank's alternative and fund solution group, secured $50 million in seed funding from Deutsche Bank for his hedge fund start-up, 80 Capital, a year ago.
He had been running Helium, a managed futures strategy, internally at Deutsche Bank since February 2012.
Azoulay is now planning to market the fund globally and hopes to grow assets from $50 million to about $250 million in the next 12 months, according to a person close to the firm. At this point it may "soft close" to new money, the person said.
Managed futures strategies use complex computer algorithms to capture trends in global markets. The Newedge CTA index gained 0.72% last year, following losses of 2.87% in 2012 and 4.45% in 2011. Managers have suffered from a lack of clear trends and unpredictable central bank intervention, which has made markets jittery and prone to big swings.
The Helium strategy, which trades futures on fixed income, equity indices, currencies and commodities, has outperformed the peer group.
Azoulay started trading the Helium strategy on Deutsche Bank's books in February 2012. It gained 4.43% in the remaining 11 months of that year, according to a fund presentation seen by Financial News. He set up 80 Capital later in 2012, and relaunched the Helium strategy in February 2013 with Deutsche Bank's $50 million seed investment. The Helium strategy gained 6.15% in the remainder of 2013, the presentation shows.
At Deutsche Bank, Azoulay reported to Stephane Farouze, who was head of alternatives and fund solutions. As well as his managerial and structuring role within the group, Azoulay developed systematic trading strategies for Deutsche Bank's $30 billion alternative book and ran some proprietary capital.
In 2012, Deutsche Bank moved the alternative and fund solution group from the corporate banking and securities division into its asset and wealth management division. Michele Faissola, the long-term head of rates and commodities, moved over to lead the newly-integrated division. The Helium strategy also sits on dbalternatives and dbSelect, Deutsche Bank's two managed account platforms.
Before Deutsche Bank, Azoulay worked at Calyon in New York where he was in charge of trading, structuring and origination for fund derivatives in the US. He began his career at Paris-based quantitative hedge fund Capital Fund Management.

Fireworks In Philly – How FOX Sports Tried To Ruin The 4th Of July
Before I get to FOX Sports, I have a game re-cap for you. Jamie Moyer, the oldest player in the major leagues, took the mound today against the New York Mets for his 600th career start! Congratulations Jamie! What a milestone! Moyer was outstanding in his effort and allowed only 1 run in 6 1/3 innings. Not only is Jamie an amazing baseball player, he is an even more amazing human being. Jamie dedicates countless hours to charity work with The Moyer Foundation and is ever-present in the community; a true role model for children and people of all ages. It is refreshing to see such success come to a person who really deserves it.
Jamie got the win by a score of 4-1. Shane Victorino and Pedro Feliz were the Phillies offensive stars of the game today; Victorino went 3 for 4 with an RBI; Feliz had 3 hits as well. Even Jimmy Rollins joined the party and collected 2 RBI on a double. SO nice to see Jimmy creeping back to life! It is also a big relief to see Ryan Madson begin to pitch his way back to normal. In to relieve JC Romero, he recorded 2 quick outs to retire the Mets in the 8th inning. Then Brad Lidge came in for the 9th, saved the game, and all is as it should be…at least for today ;O)
This gives the Phillies a series win at home for a change, and more importantly, an opportunity to sweep the Mets! I will be at the game tomorrow and bring back news and photos.
In some very odd news, Paul Bako, our back-up, back-up catcher (not a typo) has started 3 of the last 4 games. This has given me some reason to speculate. Could Carlos Ruiz be on the trading block with the Phillies desperately seeking pitching? If they are in the middle of negotiating with another team, it makes sense to sit Ruiz as they would not want him to get hurt while making decisions. With Chris Coste as a solid back-up and Lou Marson waiting in AAA, this may not be such a strange move. Another possibility is that Ruiz is hurt again and no one is talking. Then again, maybe Charlie Manuel was just feeling a bit silly this week? We shall see as the week progresses.
Why FOX Sports Sucks
Can someone please explain to me WHY my Phillies – Mets game today was interrupted multiple times so that FOX sports could should gratuitous footage of Manny Ramirez at bat in San Diego? It was Manny's 2nd game back with the Dodgers since serving a 50-game suspension for violating MLB's drug policy. Can I get a big "WHO CARES??" from the peeps, please? Thank you.
Seriously, it was not Manny setting some amazing record; not Manny greeting aliens from a spaceship for our first extraterrestrial encounter; not even the President of the United States giving an important speech…Manny's 2nd game back after a STEROID suspension. Heck, not even the 1st game back (even so, I would not have cared to see that either). Has FOX Sports reached an all-time low in trying to get ratings? You betcha. It was like them interrupting a blessing from Jesus Christ himself to show a drive-by shooting. What exactly were they expecting to happen? That Manny's head would explode? Or, he was going to announce the cure for cancer? Now THAT would have been news.
And yet, on this most important day in America where we celebrate the freedom of our great country, we are subjected to this ridiculous, infantile Mannywood hype by FOX Sports. On the 70th anniversary of Lou Gehrig retiring from baseball while suffering from a fatal disease…we get Manny-Insanity. On the day Jamie Moyer celebrates his 600th career start as a pitcher, are we shown historical footage of the eldest current player in baseball…a person who is a great humanitarian as well? No…we get dreadlock fever.
Truly disgusting. FOX Sports – you should be ashamed of yourselves.

Great post. I agree that Fox sports has gone pretty downhill from their great days. They used to be the premier place to watch baseball.
Fox sinks lower and lower. That what highlights are for. Geez. Happy 4th of July!
If only Manny's head WOULD have actually exploded (we should be so lucky). Not sure why Fox found Manny's at-bats so newsworthy – like you said, not like he was about to reach a milestone. Enjoy the rest of your 4th!
Rants, Raves, and Random Thoughts
I'll give McCarver credit for saying that he wondered why Ramirez got all that attention. He said, "It's not like he was coming off the disabled list." Good for him, but I figure it will not register at Fox because all they're interested in is ratings and hype. Manny is a clown and he'll probably go to the All-Star game – giving you another vent to rant about.
I'm glad I found someone who is unhappy about how the New York Mets vs Philadelphia Phillies game coverage went about by Fox Sports. Manny Ramirez isn't the best player in the MLB, we Mets and Phillies fans deserve better. Now back to the game, the Phillies are finally doing good at home. Congrats to Jaime Moyer for winning his 253rd game of his career. If only he had more years, he can win his 300th, but I doubt it.

Great reporting. You said it all. Start your own reporting. Only objection I have was the use of J.C. Thanks.

I have two theories to the whole Paul Bako situation:
A) Coste, or Ruiz is hurt in some way.
B) Bako is on the trading block and the Phillies are trying to play him to show other teams his current abilities.

Lol, good stuff.. Seems all national networks are diving into the great depths of desperation for higher viewership.. It's really ridiculous. I could care less about Manny as well. It'd probably be slightly possible to put the steroid era to rest if the media wouldn't glorify this guy by highlighting.. nay, putting his return on a pedestal just because it's Manny Ramirez.. but they'll never learn.
"It was like them interrupting a blessing from Jesus Christ himself to show a drive-by shooting." – Niice analogy, lmao..

I see I'm not the only one who was ticked about the FOX thing. Good stuff, Jenn!-Erinhttp://plunking-gomez.mlblogs.com
Am glad I wasn't the only one who had Fox issues, although you got to see the game (see my blog http://devilabrit.mlblogs.com/archives/2009/07/fox_destroys_july_4th_phillies.html ) Hope they sweep today so you get to say "I WAS THERE" so where do you sit so we can watch for you on TV…?
Outsider Looking In
Thanks to all for the comments…
Tbray – I considered Bako being up for trade, but they would get VERY little for him, so I figured it may not be likely unless it is a big package deal. Guess we'll see! :O)
Devilabrit: I sit right behind home plate, slightly to the 3rd base side, 13 rows back…doubt I'll be on TV…I am usually not, but thanks for looking :O) LOL!
I could not agree with you more Jenn! WHO CARES ABOUT MANNY? And the Dodger's fans chanting "We are not worthy" when Manny took left field? Just makes me sick.
Wow, it is a real shame. FOX is the worst. I am not really surprised however. They think people want to listen to Joe Buck and Tim Mcarver. I don't think a sports network could be more out of touch than they are. I pray to god every Saturday that my team isn't on FOX so that I don't have to set up my radio and try and sync it with the TV. Now, it appears that they can't even get the video right since they are cutting to something nobody wants to see.
Furthermore, It seems that people in California don't seem to care about what a miserable disgrace Manny is for the sport. Those in San Diego seemed to be thrilled as hell that he hit a home run yesterday. Don't really get it.
WHO CARES!!! Totally right, Jenn. Bogus. I'm glad MLB Network curbed it after the 1st game back. I could care less.
When will the hatred for Manny stop?
I switched to something else when they interrupted the Tigers/Twins Game for the same reason – Who Cares? I also voted just now twice for Shane Victorino, now you need to vote for Brandon Inge!
if it was mannys first game back i would have been ok with it. actually happy for it. sorry you missed some of your game for a ameaningless at bat
I couldn't agree with you more, they made him out to be some kind of hero, he cheated what kind of message does glorifying him to the children of today
Sorry Tigers fan here, but our game was on Fox yesterday as well and they broke into our game as well. Why they hold this idiot up as an example is beyond me. He is a cheater and even before that a fool. Fox stinks, I have always thought that they stunk, and my guess is that it will continue. And the poor baby had to sit today because he was soar.
I'm starting to feel the same way about Manny that I did about the coverage when Michael Jackson died: I cared and I was interested for the first 15 minutes, but it's old now. Ugh. Great shout-out to Jamie Moyer, too; I used to follow him more closely when he played in Seattle and he really is a great human being. Very deserving of our praise and attention!
Ok, it is July 6th, has Fox Sports explained WHY??? they felt compelled to interrupt the game for the nonsense that is Manny???
I couldn't believe my eyes…..when I saw the World Champion Phillies and the Mets game in a little box at the bottom of my TV, and this clown at bat……..taking center stage….WHY?? I ask you WHY?????? AND where it the Commissioner on this, he should have been on the phone telling them to quit it……but you know what, I blame him for all of this "roid" crap, where was he when this all started, counting the money that certain players were heaping upon MLB in the form of home run races……..I think he should resign….and I will not watch another Fox Sports covered game…..I'll listen to the radio!

This amazing, star-studded, 22-card set contains 14 of the 50 greatest players of all time. The rest were fine players, NBA all-stars, MVP all-star game winners and a United States senator. The black and white makes the set have a very comforting retro look. With these 22 players, I will take on all comers.

James McDermet
Class Year:1992
Alumni Recognition Award Winner 2007
James McDermet '92 is the first master's degree recipient from North Central College to receive an alumni award. As the recipient of the Alumni Recognition Award, McDermet was honored for his notable achievements in the business world since he graduated 15 years ago. McDermet is currently senior vice president for U.S. Store Services at Starbucks Coffee Company in Seattle, WA, and oversees support and direction for 6,000 Starbucks locations.
"I chose North Central College for the track in leadership in the management of change," said McDermet. "The only constant in life is change."
McDermet earned his Master of Business Administration degree while working as a regional vice president for Burger King in the Chicago area. He had started his career frying French fries—where he also met his wife Nancy—and over 24 years, progressed to a corporate position at Miami headquarters. He left Burger King to open a small chain of coffee shops in the Miami area, satisfying an "itch" to become an entrepreneur that he has attributed to Gary Ernst, Coleman Professor of Entrepreneurship and Small Business.
His joint venture called Java Centrale ultimately led to a position as regional director at Starbucks in Seattle. Since joining the company in 2000, he has also served as region vice president in both the Midwest and New York metro areas. His rapid assent through management ranks at Starbucks can be attributed to his focus on sales, customer and employee satisfaction, building a pipeline of management talent and collaborative team work. McDermet resides in Seattle.
While on campus for Homecoming weekend, he shared his story and sage advice with North Central College business students. At the awards ceremony, he told the audience that change in life is always possible. "I get up every morning with a sense of optimism," he said. "You always have the opportunity to re-invent yourself and blaze a new trail."

My LO is gonna be 4 month on July 14th.. I guess that the teething time s coming... Any advice??? I already buy the Orajel just to be prepared!!
My LO is gonna be 4 month on July 14th.. I guess that the teething time s coming... Any advice??? I already buy the Orajel just to be prepared!!
Orajel is a numbing agent. If you put it on before nursing it can cause a bad latch because the baby can't feel their mouth properly in order to position it properly. SO be careful using that.
You may still have time anyway. Both my kids didn't get their first teeth until about 7 months. Are there any signs of teething yet?
Formerly: baby-blue-eyes
Canadian Mum to Naomi Born 03/17/08 and has a dairy allergy we are hoping she will outgrow. Nursed for 1 year
And Gavin Born 01/13/10. 22 months, still nursing and already determined to find every possible way of giving me a heart attack with his dare devilishness
We never used any Orajel or anything similar . I just used my clean finger to massage her gums, I would also put my finger in ice for a few moments so it was cold.
I only have one advice. When DD started teething she went from nursing all day long to nursing only a few 4 times a day (she was 3-4ish months) and STTN. I though she was just changing her feeding patterns, but right now she's almost 10 months and has 4 teeth and still nurses every 3 hours and never ever STTN hihi. My point is that you must be careful with your milk supply, try to pump if she stops nursing one day .

No, my LO is not teething yet, I just want to know what to expect... Thanks to all for your advice... I think I am going to wash very well my fingers :-)
dont bother with orajel, especially if it has benzocaine in it. benzocaine is a BIG contraindicant for infants.
anyways, expect crankyness. your baby will want to put things in his/her mouth to chomp on. get water teethers if ou want, stick them in the friedge (not the freezer, thats too cold and too hard for somone so young) also, watch for those teeth to come in. one time Luna chomped on a teething ring right around when a tooth had just come in and talk about PISSED OFF BABY
also, when the teeth do cut, watch for fevers. it doesnt hurt to keep a bottle of infant tylenol around. also, cutting teeth can cause diahrea. Luna had a huge diarehal blowout after she cut her second tooth. pure liquid and bloody mucuos. it was not fun, thank god she wasnt on the couch.
little teeher's, soft rubber or wood is a good. not so thick, like those ring links that you attah to the baby seat or something like that works too.

We've pretty much used Tylenol exclusively...The teething rings seem to piss him off because it makes the sides of his mouth cold too; do they make a paci-type thing with a gel in it that can be put in the fridge? That would be excellent!!!

We used tylenol or motrin (after 6 months) at night usually. Or I'm not sure if they are making them again - but Hylands teething tablets were good. Also i'd make some breastmilk popsicles or let her chew on some other frozen food - like bagels - french fries - fruit - but that was when she was a little older.
Proud mom of 2:
DD 5/2008 nursed for 3 years and 3 months.
DS born 8/2011 nursing like a champ
Sorry for the short responses...always, always, always NAK or holding a baby
Teething has not been a fun thing in our house - when LO cut his top two front teeth (he has top two and bottom two and I can see the anchor teeth on top moving in)- we had our first ear infection...NOT FUN! With that being said - you can get these little pacifier looking things at Walmart that have a mesh bag on the end (with the sippy cups). Fill the mesh bag with cold fruit (pears and apples are favorites at our house) or veggies and let LO chomp away. You can also freeze breastmilk cubes and put them in there - good way to maximize breastmilk intake (albeit kinda messy). Keeps them happy and entertained for awhile. We also use Hyland's teething gel - like the tablets only in a gel form - Orajel gives LO the runs. There are also these teethers at Walmart that are shaped like Grapes or Strawberries, when LO bites down on them - they vibrate, massaging the gums - hands down the best teether in our house - same for my nephew. They are with the baby toys - around $6 I think. Good Luck Momma!

i just realized this, why? doesnt the sharingan drain chakra? is it because he gave kakashi his other eye?
can someone explain it to me, thx.
Senju DNA.
Itachi nearly all the time has it activated too.
It's because Tobi needs it for his Space/Time Ninjutsu. And he's mastered it to the extent where there is a minimal drain on his Chakra levels. That's why he always has it active.
He is an uchiha his body was meant for the sharingan. A sick itachi also kept his sharingan active alot.
Because he's never NOT fighting
cause he is FREAKIN BOSS
good question prolly cause he know some trick for it not to drain his chakra maybe madra tought him something
Originally Posted by Migualon J.J.

this is also a good answer lol
either hashi dna or its training...let me explain
hashi dna.....the hasi dna could alter he dna enough to make it active all the time like kakashi cant turn it off because he isnt and uchia but this is unlikely just a posibility
training- this is the most likely reason....remember dragon ball z and the time chamber and the way goku trained gohan was to keep super sayin activated 24 hrs a day because it made him use to it and then they came out much stronger then vegeta
same with tobi he keeps it active as a way to be in constant training and stain on his body to become more powerful and madara probably taught him to do this because madara seems to have it on all the time aswell
i think maybe because he had it activated when his body was crushed so it's like permanently activated or something and thanks to the Senju DNA it has minimal drain on his chakara levels
he gains vitality because of his senju DNA injection, and he needs it active to be always ready whenever he needs to teleport
Originally Posted by Migualon J.J.

wat he said
The sharingan does drain chakra but it is so minimal that it does not have a noticeable effect on the user.
Counter question.. why do people never read the description of the sections? This is for website related questions and suggestions.

Graduating class only covers those in your same class. kbear is looking for anyone in a seven year span, so if he is in the class of '12 it would include everyone from the class of '09 to the class of '15. Cohort seems to have the same problem.

Shumlin administration makes case against its own proposalBy Peter Hirschfeld
Vermont Press Bureau | February 07,2013The most damning argument yet against the Shumlin administration's plan to cap welfare benefits has come from, well, the Shumlin administration.
In his budget address last month, Gov. Peter Shumlin said "Reach Up" benefits, as they're called, should be "temporary," not "timeless." He said the state should cap lifetime benefits at five years, a move that would save the state an estimated $6 million in fiscal year 2014.
But as is being reported today by VTDigger's Alicia Freese and Seven Days' Paul Heintz, the administration took a hard look at an identical proposal in 2012, and pretty much condemned it.
As Freese noted, a January report signed off on by Commissioner of Children and Families Dave Yacavone – the same guy urging lawmakers to adopt the plan now – concluded that capping benefits at 60 months "could leave families destitute and at risk and will create a large hole in the fabric of Vermont's safety net for those most in need."
In a passage pulled by Heintz, the report says that "the families who would be affected by this cut have three times as many barriers to gaining self-sufficiency as the general Reach Up caseload population."
"They are families with limited abilities and resources to recover from such a loss. The elimination of their financial assistance may put their children at risk and force a cost shift to other programs."MORE IN This Just InMONTPELIER A new report from a commission that studied the cost, availability and quality of...

Government secrecy is at odds with basic democratic principles. As the U.S. Supreme Court recognized in 1936, "an informed public is the most potent of all restraints upon misgovernment."
Yet today, much of our government's business is conducted in secret. There are a multitude of secret agencies, secret committees of Congress, a secret court, and even secret laws. This sprawling—and growing—secret establishment presents an active threat to individual liberty and undermines the very notion of government of, by, and for the people.
Nowhere is government secrecy more out of control than in the national security context. For almost a decade, the American public has been told time and time again that some of our government's most controversial national security policies and programs are "secret." The government has tried to keep us in the dark about the fact that it was secretly spying on all Americans, secretly torturing people, and secretly killing its own citizens on the basis of its secret interpretations of the law.
The ACLU fights for a democracy that is accountable to the public, the courts, and Congress. Secrecy endangers us all, eroding the checks and balances that a healthy democracy requires. As the Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit put it in an ACLU challenge to secret court hearings, "Democracies die behind closed doors."
The ACLU regularly files Freedom of Information Act requests and lawsuits to challenge government secrecy around some of the most important national security questions of our time. A few notable examples include lawsuits:
- Demanding the government release information relating to the legal and factual basis for its use of predator drones to conduct "targeted killings" overseas.
- Seeking information about the targeted killings of three U.S. citizens in Yemen in 2011.
- Relating to the abuse and torture of prisoners in U.S. detention centers overseas. Since that suit was filed in 2003, more than 10,000 pages of government documents have been released. They are easily viewed and searched in the ACLU's Torture Database.
- Seeking the full Senate torture report, the executive summary of which was released in 2014.
- Seeking information about the TSA's "behavioral detection" program.
- Demanding the government release information about its use and interpretation of Patriot Act Section 215.

Getting Less for More
In a recent interview on NPR, Peter Orszag, director of the White House Office of Management and Budget, noted that that as much as $700 billion a year in healthcare costs do not improve health outcomes. It occurs because we pay for more care rather than better care.
Urgent care retail clinics are an example of a healthcare innovation that is very successfully addressing this problem. Staffed primarily by nurse practitioners and located in supermarkets, drug stores, and discount stores, these clinics have dramatically improved access to care for people without insurance, are incredibly convenient for after-hours care, and have helped millions avoid trips to the emergency room for minor health issues, such as ear infections, upper respiratory infections, and urinary tract infections.
While consumers have embraced this concept, in some states, there has been opposition from medical groups who have raised issues about the quality and continuity of care. According to Edmonds and Scudder, researchers have found that these concerns are unwarranted. Most people do not have primary care providers, and the people who use these clinics the most (ages 18-44) would likely fail to seek care if this option was not available, which would ultimately increase the cost of treatment.
I have had excellent success using these clinics and wouldn't hesitate to recommend this option to people needing urgent care for minor health problems. To me, it seems like a good example of getting more for less!

MLB roundup: Lackey injured in Red Sox loss; Yanks fall again
TORONTO John Lackey grabbed at his arm in pain, fearful that another long rehab might lie ahead of him.
For now, the Boston Red Sox are hoping that wont be necessary.
Lackey left with a strained right biceps in his first start since September 2011, coming out in the fifth inning Saturday as the Red Sox lost to the Toronto Blue Jays 5-0.
Its all in the biceps, it wasnt the elbow, Lackey said. Pretty frustrating. A little scary when it happened, for sure.
Lackey (0-1) missed last season following elbow ligament-replacement surgery in November 2011. He allowed a two-run homer to J.P. Arencibia in the fourth, then clutched his arm and jumped around the mound in pain after missing low and inside to Jose Reyes on a 2-2 pitch with one out in the fifth.
We called cutter away and I knew something had to be wrong, catcher David Ross said. He just jerked it down and in. I turned around to get a ball from the umpire and saw him grabbing his arm.
Boston manager John Farrell and several teammates came to the mound before Lackey walked off with trainer Rick Jameyson and was replaced by Alfredo Aceves, who threw ball four.
Lackey was asked what went through his mind after his arm tightened up.
A year and a half of getting to this point and having to do it again, he said.
Early results were more encouraging, though. Farrell said Lackeys arm loosened up after icing, and tests didnt indicate any lack of strength.
My hand didnt go numb or anything like that, like Ive had with elbow stuff, said Lackey, who was scheduled to fly to Boston on Sunday morning to undergo an MRI.
Farrell said it was too early to say who might pitch if Lackey is unable to make his next start.
Weve just got to get every test and run him through the appropriate exam, Farrell said. Well put our heads together once we get all that information.
Lackey signed an $82.5 million, five-year contract with Boston in December 2009 after eight seasons with the Angels. He allowed two runs and five hits in 4 1-3 innings with eight strikeouts and one walk Saturday, throwing 50 of 76 pitches for strikes and reaching 94 mph.
He looked sharp, Farrell said. He had good action to his secondary stuff, the velocity was probably the best weve seen to date. He was free and easy, he threw all of his pitches for strikes.
Farrell called the biceps muscle an abnormal area for a pitcher to feel cramping.
Colby Rasmus hit a three-run homer in the sixth off Aceves, a drive off the facing of the third deck in right-center.
J.A. Happ (1-0) combined on a two-hitter with Steve Delabar, Aaron Loup and Sergio Santos.
After Jacoby Ellsburys leadoff double in the first, the Red Sox didnt get another hit until Dustin Pedroia reached on an infield single with two outs in the ninth. Mike Napoli followed with a drive to deep center, but Rasmus made a fine running catch before crashing into the wall.
Pedro Ciriaco drew a one-out walk in the second, advanced on a wild pitch and went to third on a throwing error by Arencibia, then was thrown out at the plate by first baseman Edwin Encarnacion while trying to score on Ellsburys grounder.
Happ struck out six and walked three in 5 1-3 innings.
Happ was dynamite, Blue Jays manager John Gibbons said. He started throwing his changeup more and that was a big pitch for him.
Toronto was without slugger Jose Bautista for the second straight day because of a sore right ankle. The two-time major league home run leader was hurt stepping on first base while beating out a double play Thursday. Bautista hit in the cage and ran on the field before the game, and was available to pinch hit.
Adam Lind walked to begin the sixth and stole second, just the sixth stolen base of his career. Mark DeRosa drew a one-out walk before Rasmus clobbered a three-run shot off the facing of the third deck in right-center, his second.
Tigers 8, Yankees 4
DETROIT Miguel Cabrera drove in one of four runs in the fifth inning on a 4-for-4 day and the Detroit Tigers beat the New York Yankees 8-4 Saturday.
Max Scherzer (1-0) gave up four runs in five-plus innings to pick up the win in a shaky start, his first of the season.
Phil Hughes (0-1) allowed four runs three earned on eight hits in four-plus innings on a day he was originally scheduled to make a rehabilitation start in the minors. Darin Downs and Joaquin Benoit combined to pitch three scoreless innings to end the game for the Tigers.
Detroit led 5-1 after five innings. New York pulled within a run in the sixth, then let Detroit go ahead 7-4 in the home half.
Vernon Wells hit his second homer of the year for New York.
The Tigers will play for a series sweep Sunday in a matchup of aces, Detroits Justin Verlander and New Yorks CC Sabathia.MORE IN Sports WireOXON HILL, Md.

Protect Berlin PondJune 15,2013
Protect Berlin Pond
My wife and I have lived on Berlin Pond since 1975. We have enjoyed the beauty of the pond and the quietness that it has provided. In the summer there is nothing like the sounds of the loons talking to each other early in the morning and late evening. We have enjoyed seeing the many flocks of Canada geese that use the pond as a resting place before moving south for the winter months. We have also enjoyed watching the snow geese cover most of the south side of the pond by the thousands as they make their journey south.
That has all changed over the past year since the Supreme Court opened the pond for recreation. We saw only a few flocks of geese on the pond last fall and this spring. I have witnessed boaters chase the geese from their nesting place so the fishermen can catch the bass that they cannot keep. I never saw an otter on the ice this past spring. The bald eagle has not been seen thus far. My wife picked up more than 10 bags of trash that was left behind this spring for Green Up Day. The traffic has increased twofold, and the safety of the walkers, bikers and joggers has decreased.
All said, this is minor compared with what could happen to the drinking water that is supplied to the residents of the town of Berlin, Montpelier and the businesses that depend on this pond. Just imagine if the water treatment plant could no longer provide you with safe drinking water. You would not know you are drinking gasoline until you got sick. You would not know that zebra mussels covered the intake and no water was coming out of your faucet. To fix these problems costs money, money that in the end will come out of your pockets.
If I were on this water system and depended on it for my health and the health of my loved ones, I would do everything I could to protect the water from harm. There is no other alternative to provide you with some of the purest drinking water in the area than Berlin Pond. Protect Berlin Pond for your health.

Upon forming in 2007, Columbus pop-rock combo Karate Coyote became the toast of the city's music scene. They opened for major touring artists, got into regular rotation on CD102.5 and attracted all sorts of attention from the kind of people looking to launch (or ride) a band to stardom. 2010 debut album "Inner Animals," was a shiny, punchy pop record with promise.
They were racing up a mountain until all of the sudden they were falling off a cliff.
"After 'Inner Animals,' it just seemed like it went from super-fast, things were happening and things can happen, looking forward on the horizon — and then it went from that to almost like rock bottom," singer-guitarist Ryan Horn said.
First came the sudden departure of singer Sam Corlett in summer 2010 to focus on visual art and her other band, Maza Blaska. Karate Coyote was not prepared to exist without Corlett, a key architect and core component of the group's sound, so the band scrambled to replace her with April Kitchen, a friend of Horn's.
It wasn't a good fit. Kitchen later found a vehicle for her theater background and abrasive punk sensibilities in Slave Labia, but she never quite jibed with Karate Coyote's gleaming pop-rock sound. Earlier this year, she quit.
After two years of confusion and stalled attempts to progress, the remaining members were discouraged. Their situation resembled one of those movies where the popular kid in high school has to learn what it's like to approach life's challenges like everyone else.
"It's just hard to go from being what I would consider kind of Columbus' baby," Horn said. "We don't have this buzz anymore. The buzz we had is lost. It's like we're starting new."
Starting from scratch five years into your career is daunting, especially when you've invested so much hope in your band. Losing a second lead singer was a requiem for Karate Coyote: Were they up for slugging it out?
You can probably see where this is going. As guitarist Eric Vescelius put it, they loved being Karate Coyote, no matter how many people were paying attention.
"It was kind of this super-cliché 'Varsity Blues' sort of moment, like, 'Go team!' We want this still," Horn said.
One factor in the decision to forge ahead was the blooming of keyboardist Kendra Jados, a timid presence who tended to be outshined by Corlett and Kitchen. In the past two years, Jados came into her own as a performer. Furthermore, she knew Kitchen's parts well enough to pare Karate Coyote's three-way vocal attack down to two. They've been rehearsing as a five-piece and feeling formidable.
That said, Kitchen was deeply involved as the band honed its songwriting, and she's all over the self-titled album Karate Coyote is releasing with a show Friday at Skully's. A tightly wound web of guitars, keyboards and voices, it's a document of a transitional period the band emerged from intact, ready to begin climbing again.
"I think it's the best thing we've ever written thus far," Horn said. "And I hope we have a chance to make another record and to feel that way about that record."

Fireworks out of control
In response to "Get off my Lawn" by George Nemetz (Letters 7/23). First, I assure you that I am well under the age of 80, if that even matters. Also, the Express is not solely read by your age group of 30 and under.
Michigan has lifted a ban on some of the higher grades of fireworks and you can now obtain a permit to use the more powerful grade.
I also had problems with my dogs climbing the walls when a neighbor was setting off professional grade fireworks for several nights in my neighborhood. These are not just bottle rockets and firecrackers, they are the ones that are shot high in the air and are so loud they shake your house. The police were called by many in my neighborhood about this.
With the fire danger being so high, I was very concerned about my home and my neighbors' homes catching on fire...

An Official Website of the Commonwealth of Kentucky
Council on Postsecondary Education
USDOE approves $68 million award to Kentucky to increase college going among low-income students
(FRANKFORT, KY)--The U.S. Department of Education has approved funding for over $68 million in state and partnership GEAR UP grants for Kentucky. GEAR UP (Gaining Early Awareness and Readiness for Undergraduate Programs) is a discretionary grant program designed to provide services to high-poverty middle and high schools to increase the number of low-income students who are prepared to enter and complete postsecondary education degrees.
The Kentucky Council on Postsecondary Education will receive $42 million of the total as a state award to administer the program. This breaks out to 50 percent in federal funding, or $21 million over the next six years, with GEAR UP partners across the state providing $21 million in matching funds.
Local partnership awards will go to Berea College at $17.1 million, the Western Kentucky Education Cooperative at $6.6 million, and the Clinton County Board of Education, $2.8 million. All awards are contingent upon continued funding in the federal budget.
"We are extremely pleased to be awarded our second GEAR UP grant," stated Dr. Tom Layzell, president of the Council. The Council received its first award of $21 million in 2000.
"Our public agenda calls upon us to increase educational attainment to the national average by the year 2020. GEAR UP Kentucky will play a significant role in accelerating academic achievement," he added.
GEAR UP Kentucky collaborates with multiple state partners including education agencies, postsecondary institutions, businesses and other organizations. The Kentucky Higher Education Assistance Authority (KHEAA), a joint partner in the grant, will contribute $6.6 million over the six-year grant period.
"We are delighted to partner with the Council on a new GEAR UP program in Kentucky," said Dr. Joe L. McCormick, executive director of KHEAA and The Student Loan People. "KHEAA provides student financial aid to pay higher education expenses, and encouraging low-income students to develop the necessary skills to pursue a postsecondary education is an integral component of our mission to make higher education more accessible for Kentuckians."
GEAR UP Kentucky provides services to cohorts of seventh grade students and continues this support through their high school graduation. Program activities include developing rigorous, college preparatory curricula in GEAR UP schools; providing professional development to teachers; involving families in pre-college planning; providing supplemental scholarships; and coordinating an array of enrichment activities designed to support GEAR UP students. The new grant will work with primarily all new schools and a new group of seventh grade students in these schools will receive services each year during the first three years of the program.
"Over the last five years, the GEAR UP program has significantly improved student achievement among 50 low-income middle and high schools in Kentucky," said Yvonne Lovell, director of GEAR UP Kentucky. "We are grateful to our Congressional delegation and our GEAR UP partners for supporting this program. The new grant will make it possible to reach thousands more students."
The first GEAR UP state grant awarded to the Council in 2000 provided services to more than 18,000 students in low-income Kentucky schools. From 2000-2004, more GEAR UP Kentucky students decreased their scores at the novice level (the lowest level awarded in the CATS testing system) in science, reading, and math than the state average. GEAR UP Kentucky students' rate of change at the novice level topped the state average by 50.3 percent in reading, 12.6 percent in math, and 2 percent in science.
Seven host sites will assist the Council in providing a range of services for students and school personnel to foster a college-going culture in schools. Host sites include Elizabethtown Community and Technical College, Fayette County Public Schools, Hazard Community College, Morehead State University, Murray State University, Northern Kentucky Council of Partners and University of Louisville. The Council and host sites will work with college partners to provide instructional resources and develop appropriate professional development activities, leadership trainings and academic support activities for students.
