Rated 1 out of 5�by Bisonfootball10 I'd Rather Use A Brick If you want a ball that is very slick and hard to throw and catch then buy this ball. Otherwise I would stick with 99% of the U.S. and buy Wilson GST/1005. One you get it wet, basically impossible to throw especially after it dries the grip is gone... Also much bigger that Wilson game balls October 8, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5�by edsflavor_21 Rawlings ST5 Official Football no good!!!!! Hard to grip and is too round..QB's hate it..shouldn't be allowed in High School July 20, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5�by TS3000 Good Ball for Looks This ball LOOKS very good to the eye. After 3 uses the ball will deteriorate. Grip vanished faster than I could blink. As a quarterback, knowing my receivers didn't like the ball made it even worse throwing it. My College Center said "Didn't know we could use Pop Warner balls". I would recommend this ball for backyard use but if you're looking for a game ball this isn't the one. The Wilson 1005, Nike Vapor Elite Airlock, and the Spalding J5V are all great game balls.

At the end of the day, until Dolan stops being involved in decision making issues, things are unlikely to get better.
With the Knicks, the more things change, ultimately the more they stay the same.
And that's not a good sign going forward.
Once New York Knicks team president Phil Jackson got started making personnel moves on Monday, by firing Mike Woodson and the entire coaching staff, you had to wonder how long it would be before James Dolan tried to interfere.
If you had two days in the poll, youre a winner.
According to a report from Frank Isola of the New York Daily News, Jackson has already hit a roadblock in trying to rebuild the Knicks into a winning franchise in the form of Dolan.
Just one month into his role as Knicks president, Jackson has already clashed with Dolan, the chairman of Madison Square Garden, over personnel decisions, the Daily News has learned. According to a team source, Jackson is looking to remove several staff members, which is commonplace when a new administration takes over, but Dolan opposes removing certain employees.
According to the source, Dolans reaction to Jacksons request was to tell the 11-time NBA championship coach to simply focus his attention on building a winning team. To say that minor friction, as one Garden source called it, can be classified as Jacksons honeymoon with Dolan being over may be stretching it a bit.
Anytime a new guy comes into run an organization, it is common that he gets rid of the old tenure and brings his people in, both on the court and in the front office.
After getting rid of the entire coaching staff on Monday, including Herb Williams, it really appeared that Jackson was the guy calling all the shots.
You knew that wouldnt last as it only took a couple of days for Dolan to interfere.
You also knew that Dolan wasnt being anywhere near close to being truthful when he said last month that he was willingly and gratefully giving up control of the basketball decisions to Jackson.
It was reported on Tuesday that Steve Mills, Allan Houston and Mark Warkentien could all be reassigned or possibly dismissed.
You knew that Dolan couldnt allow his puppet Mills to go anywhere.
Dolans interference also could impact the hiring of a new coach as pretty much everyone in the league is aware of his inner workings and very few people will willingly sign up to be a part of his circus.
It is already being reported that Steve Kerr, the frontrunner for the Knicks coaching job, has concerns over the inner workings of the organization.
At the end of the day, until Dolan stops being involved in decision making issues, things are unlikely to get better.
With the Knicks, the more things change, ultimately the more they stay the same.
And that's not a good sign going forward.
Jackson said Dolan has been true to his word on not intefering so far. I hope Dolan keeps his promise and his hands off because the guys behind improving the personnel like Houston, Warkentien and even Mills may have to go.
Not sure if Jackson can fire Mills but I would love to see that, how can a guy be president and GM of the Knicks for an entire season and not talk to the press like Mills did all year. PJ comes on board and holds more pressers in a week than Mills has had his whole career with the Knicks.
haha... the circus is back in town....
not only does this article address Dolan and the Knicks' medical staff, but now it looks like Mills may be on the way out! PJ cleaning howwwwse!!

Knicks GM Steve Mills may be in running to head NBAPA
Mills is once again surfacing as a strong candidate to replace Billy Hunter as executive director of the NBA players' union, the Daily News has learned.
Steve Mills' status with the Knicks is unclear at the moment.
With his future in New York uncertain under new Knicks president Phil Jackson, Steve Mills is once again surfacing as a strong candidate to replace Billy Hunter as executive director of the NBA players' union, the Daily News has learned.
Mills was in the running to replace Hunter last summer before James Dolan rehired Mills on the eve of training camp after the Garden Chairman abruptly fired general manager Glen Grunwald. Mills was named president, and his plan was to hire a GM with a background in analytics, but that plan was altered dramatically when Dolan began to pursue Jackson in December.
The Knicks originally offered Jackson the head coaching position, but he turned it down before agreeing to a five-year, $60 million contract to run the franchise. After 5½ months as president, Mills was reassigned to general manager and has been working under Jackson since mid-March amid speculation that Jackson will bring in his own GM.
There are conflicting theories on what Mills' role with the Knicks will be if he happens to remain with the organization. Bleacher Report reported that Mills, assistant GM Allan Houston and director of player personnel Mark Warkentien will either be reassigned or fired. All three have close personal ties to Dolan, who has already clashed with Jackson over potential staff firings.
The Daily News reported on Wednesday that Dolan has gone against his promise to Jackson and isn't giving him the autonomy to make changes throughout the organization. ESPN's Stephen A. Smith reported that Jackson and Dolan disagree over making changes to the club's medical department, which is headed by Dr. Lisa Callahan.
According to a source, Jackson also wants to make changes in the scouting department. The News reported two weeks ago that former Bulls scout Clarence Gaines Jr. has joined Jackson in New York. Jackson also wants to eliminate some staff members simply based on the Knicks having too many employees holding similar jobs. Jackson revealed that he will work with the Knicks' next head coach on assembling a coaching staff as well as a support staff, which includes trainers, strength and conditioning personal and media relations employees.
Mills' status is unclear. He never got the opportunity to put his stamp on the Knicks. Mills didn't pull off a major signing or trade during his nearly six months as team president. He did, however, consider firing Mike Woodson on several occasions, according to a source, but in the end Woodson survived all 82 games before being dismissed, along with the entire coaching staff, on Monday.
The Princeton-educated Mills, who played for legendary coach Pete Carril, could have an inside track on the union job. He is well-respected among players as well as league and team executives.
"It would be great for the union's future if Steve is the guy," said one player representative, who did not want to be identified.
Mills joined the Knicks in 1999 and was with the club for 10 years before leaving. He was the CEO of Athletes & Entertainers Wealth Management Group before rejoining the Knicks. Mills also worked 16 years at the league office where he eventually served as the Senior Vice President of Basketball and Player Development.
Former NBA All-Star point guard and Sacramento mayor Kevin Johnson will lead a search committee to select a new executive director for the NBA Players Association. Mills sat with Johnson during the Knicks-Kings game last month in Sacramento.
Hunter was ousted as executive director of the NBAPA on Feb. 16, 2013 by a vote of 24-0 by the union's board of player representatives. The decision followed a nine-month investigation by the firm of Paul Weiss into the union's finances and business practices during Hunter's 17-year tenure.
Union attorney Ron Klempner is currently serving as the acting executive director of the NBAPA.
Saves Jackson the trouble of having to dump Mills if he takes that players union job. Mills sees that handwriting on the wall that he becomes a Xmas ornament on the Knicks with PJ on board.
Look Dolan is paying Jackson an obscene amount of money to make changes to the Knicks, he can't do much player wise because of the cap (though I hope he can still find some takers for guys like Chandler, Felton and Amare) so let him blow up everything else about MSG and the Knicks that he can.
Players shouldn't allow a known puppet to run their union. They already got screwed with a worse salary cap even though the league is flush with cash. Players should get paid, idiots like Dolan shouldn't.
What and rw sellout married to michelle Rhee who ruined education Kevin Johnson is looking for the new union rep? What a disaster. Do players love making less money?
Now it makes sense who Dolan had in charge before hiring Layden as GM in August.Mills joined the Knicks in 1999 and was with the club for 10 years before leaving. He was the CEO of Athletes & Entertainers Wealth Management Group before rejoining the Knicks. Mills also worked 16 years at the league office where he eventually served as the Senior Vice President of Basketball and Player Development.
It was Mills in 1999, who became interim GM for the Knicks, when Dolan fired GM Ernie Grunfield in midseason.
It was Mills who refuse to select St. Johns star player Ron Artest aka MWP, plus convince Dolan to resign Allan Houston to a $100M contract to not explore the FA market.
Dont forget that was the same offseason Patrick Ewing demanded to be traded from the Knicks.
James Dolan's walking around with a kool-aid smile in the billion dollar renovated MSG, the Rangers are one win away from visiting the Stanley Cup. The Rangers lead the series 3-1 heading into Tuesday's game at Bell Centre. The team has a 12-1 record when leading a series 3-1. One of Dolan's team appreciate the renovation of MSG.
Im sure Jackson's more worried about getting a decent return for trading star Carmelo Anthony taking less pay, then worried about trading Felton, Amare, Chandler.
I would not be surprise if Jackson kept Chandler, Amare, Barg, K-Mart, and signed MWP for next season frontcourt rotation players. The 2013-14 past season the Knicks roster only had 2 SF players (Melo & MWP).
The 2013-14 season became chaotic when Melo wanted to play the majority of his playing-time as the Knicks PF for a 2nd season in a row. And that couldn't happen when the Knicks traded for C/F-Barg in the offseason, plus C/F-Amare & PF-K-Mart personally told the ESPN sports media they were healthy to play at start of 2013-14 season.
A few days later, Carmelo Anthony announced "opting-out" at the end of the season. WOW!
A message that clearly stated Melo did not want to play with certain players on the Knicks roster.

Has anybody dealt with an engorged/leaking breast WHILE STILL PREGNANT?
Today my right breast has been hard as a rock and leaking. I can feel the ducts and they are hard, and it feels hot to the touch, it feels like I have a newborn that ate 3 hours ago and seriously needs to nurse in the next bit or I am going to die! Why?! I am 31 weeks and have been leaking little bits here and there, but today, while lying down, it was running, dripping down my chest, pooling on the bed... why?! Anybody dealt with this before?
{I HAVE dealt with this before, but never while still pregnant... it's always AFTER baby.}
I was hospitalized since Saturday, with kidney stones and some pre-term labor. I was sent home on bedrest, Nifedipine to stop contractions, got two doses of steroids while I was there to help her lungs, and I don't know if any of that has to with it... or if it's because my body was maybe seriously preparing to bring a baby into the world! I am sorry for the post without being a familiar face, I am just confused, and don't know why I am feeling engorged/on the verge of Mastitis when I am 31 weeks pregnant.

Nyköping, a small town by the Baltic Sea
Photo: © Fredrik Laaksonen/Nyköping
Nyköping nestles the east coast of Sweden, where the Nyköping river flows into the Baltic Sea and the magnificent Swedish archipelago. Nyköping is just 1 hour from capital city Stockholm and only 7 minutes from Stockholm-Skavsta airport. Nyköping, which is over 800 years-old is a thriving bustling town; history and modernity is all around you. For example the 18th century fisherman's cottages threading down the hill to stately Nyköping Castle and on to Nyköping Marina, your gateway to the Swedish archipelago. Nyköping has a charm all its own; it's equal parts seagulls and ice-cream, horse-back riding and fine dining, as well as Swedish handicrafts/designer shopping and historical discovery in the many castles, churches and historical sites in and around Nyköping. The attractions of Nyköping and the surrounding Sörmland countryside are so accessible you can spend the morning browsing the many Swedish and international brand shops of Västrastorgatan and Östrastorgatan, and in the evening take a guided wildlife tour where you might just spot elk, fox, red deer and other wildlife. And if you want to finish the evening off in style visit the marina where there is a wide choice of fine restaurants and bars. If you are the outdoor type Nyköping is the perfect destination. Sörmlandsleden is a 1,000 km hiking track that spectacularly wends its way around the province. If cycling is your gig then the Näckrosleden cycleway is a fantastic way of experiencing the countryside around Nyköping. And being a coastal town, water is all around us and there are canoeing, kayaking and other water adventures, as well as boat trips out to the impossibly beautiful archipelago.

While the ending is a bit of a mess, the rest isn't terrible (and nobody sparkles in the sunlight).
Future North America is a place called Panem, a capital city-state surrounded by twelve districts. To keep the peace as a reminder of the horrors of war, each district is required to annually offer a boy and a girl between the ages of twelve and eighteen to fight one another in the Hunger Games, and it's a fight to the death. When a young woman named Katniss Everdeen (Jennifer Lawrence) does the unthinkable and volunteers for the games to spare her selected sister, it's the first of many signs that point to her as a possible champion in the making. While the games offer a spark of hope for the both contestants and viewers alike, the people who manipulate the games behind the scenes aren't about to let a poor girl from a backwoods district inspire anything but a glorious and entertaining death.
Never having read the book but still familiar with the story (you'd have to wear blinders online not to be), The Hunger Games borrows much from earlier dystopian science fiction and reworks it into young adult fare. With a cast of seasoned actors to carry some of the weight (including Stanley Tucci, Wes Bentley, Elizabeth Banks, Woody Harrelson, Toby Jones, and Donald Sutherland), the teens and 'tweens mostly appear and die in as many ways as a PG-13 rating will allow (although following the book to the letter might have incurred a hard R rating). Where the story goes off the rails is the battle royal itself as Katniss lucks out or is helped out of every dangerous situation; when someone who refuses to kill others wins a fight to the death by default, there's no other word for it other than manipulation.

A Call to Action: The Best and Worst of 2012
Please share this article on your social networks, particularly Twitter and Facebook (FB) . We even have share buttons available for your convenience, free of charge, just below the headline.
In this article I link to some worthy charities. My favorites. If you can and are inclined, consider throwing one or more of them a couple bucks.
The Best Has to Come Out of the Worst
I don't want to be a downer so I will get the serious stuff out of the way first, followed by a more lighthearted look back on 2012. But, it's that time of the year and, after what happened in Newtown Friday, I'll use whatever platform I have to raise a little awareness for great causes.
Plus, the best has to come out of the worst. You really have no other choice. Otherwise, you'll be even more anxious and depressed than the reality of our world predisposes us to be.
It must be because I'm getting older, but the tragedies that struck this year hit me harder than whatever chaos that took place in previous years.
It started in January of 2012 when I pretty much knew cancer was set to kill my mother-in-law. It went from her lungs to who knows where else, but it did what it does best when it got into her brain. She fought remarkably hard for more than two years, but that was it.
When she was diagnosed, I sent her Lance Armstrong's book. Shortly after she died, I lost faith in Lance Armstrong . But I never lost faith in his wonderful LIVESTRONG Foundation (Donate HERE) .
Her death also triggered the discovery of another great group that hates cancer and does something about it. A worthy Twitter follow and a great place to send a few spare dollars: a charity registered in the U.S. and Canada, F**K CANCER (Donate HERE) .
Every time you turn around somebody gets cancer. Too many die.
Newtown and Aurora
I have very few answers, only questions. That's probably best.
I'm not sure if the people of Newtown need your money, but they could use your support. The U.S. Postal Service set up a P.O. Box you can use to write to the residents of this devastated community:
P.O. Box 3700, Newtown, CT, 06470 .
A few months back, a gunman stormed into an Aurora, Colo. movie theater and killed a whole bunch of people who were just trying to having a night out. While every victim deserves space in an article like this, I single out one, simply because I had a very indirect connection to her.

Joe Conn looks more deeply into the problems of 'cloud' computing for the storage, exchange, and analysis of health data. See his article in Modern Healthcare: 'Healthcare is slow to change' to cloud environment
Today there is not yet a trusted organization to certify the privacy of electronic health records systems, whether on servers or in clouds.
Until the privacy of health data can be assured first with trusted security certification and then with a separate stringent privacy certification (proving that patients control the use and disclosure of their sensitive records) Americans will not trust that their data is safe.
Proof that consumers control personal data in clouds will be essential for trust in health IT.
So far all we have are promises of security and privacy. We won't trust without verification .

Just like the original, I made this one using an old Rose print and a French soap label. I distressed it and gave it some grunge to give it a time worn look.
This one works best with Bloggers "Picture Window" Template.

You're a really good friend. There are lots of nice, strong, smart women who end up in abusive relationships. I do not think it is a cultural thing. I think that emotionally abusive relationships are also easier in a way to get trapped into - if someone hits you, that's really obvious. But if they are chipping way at your self esteem over time, that's harder to see. And it could be just that area of her life. Clearly she is not that strong if she can't stand up to her husband on something as basic as feeding her child her own milk.
I really hope she can resolve this issue in a healthy way for her family.

Launched in 1990, NASA's Hubble Space Telescope has made over 1 million observations of more than 36,000 celestial objects.
In its 23-year lifetime the telescope has made nearly 126,000 trips around our planet. Hubble has racked up plenty of frequent-flier miles, more than 3 billion, which is roughly Neptune's average distance from the Sun.
One terabyte of Hubble data is added to the archive every month.
Astronomers using Hubble data have published more than 11,000 scientific papers, making it one of the most productive scientific instruments ever built.

- Fabry-Perot sensors: microfluidic channels and transparent membranes

- Abstract
- We present two realizations of a highly sensitive platform useful in environmental sensing and diagnostics - a Fabry-Perot (FP) interferometer - (i) a pair of semi-transparent mirrors integrated into a microfluidic channel and (ii) a silicon membrane of sub-micrometer thickness. Simple way to make microfluidic channels by (i) hot-embossing into a sheet of technical grade PMMA and (ii) double-sided tape fixed glass with Au-coated mirrors are presented. By changing the thickness of the Au coating, the roughness and porosity of mirror surface is controlled. In turn, this provides a method to tune finesse of the FP cavity to monitor solutions flowwing between the FP-mirrors. In case of silicon, the FP cavity is formed by coating two sides of a Si-membrane. These two different approaches to harness a high sensitivity of the FP interferometry are proposed: changes of FP cavity caused by materials in the channel can be monitored, while the coated membrane is used to monitor the effects which are induced by membrane's ambiance. The finesse of the FP cavity is optimized for the maximum spectral sensitivity at the cost of transmitted light intensity in case of microfluidic channel and silicon membrane. Via optimization of the finesse (in the range 2-5) and overall transmission of a FP-pair (20-60%) practical solutions are proposed for spectral sensing of (i) refractive index and mechanical channel width's changes in a microfluidic channel as well as (ii) temperature changes of membrane's environment. Asymmetric thickness of the FP mirrors can be used to optimize sensitivity.

On April 24, 1990, the space shuttle Discovery lifted off from Earth with the Hubble Space Telescope nestled securely in its bay. The following day, Hubble was released into space, ready to peer into the vast unknown of space.
NASA's Hubble Space Telescope recently marked its 24th year in space, and to celebrate its 25th year, NASA is taking a look at some of the amazing statistics generated by the world-famous telescope.
Hubble has reinvigorated and reshaped our perception of space and uncovered a universe where almost anything seems possible within the laws of physics. Hubble has revealed properties of space and time that for most of human history were only probed in the imaginations of scientists and philosophers alike. Today, Hubble continues to provide views of cosmic wonders never before seen and is at the forefront of many new discoveries.
Shortly after Hubble was deployed in 1990, the observatory's primary mirror was discovered to have a flaw that affected the clarity of the telescope's early images. Astronauts repaired Hubble in December 1993. Including that trip, there have been five astronaut servicing missions to Hubble. The first servicing mission occurred Dec. 2-13, 1993. Subsequent servicing missions occurred on Feb. 11-21, 1997; Dec.19-27, 1999; March 1-12, 2002; and May 11-24, 2009.
Here are some statistics on the Hubble as of its 24th anniversary on April 24, 2014:
The Hubble Space Telescope is a project of international cooperation between NASA and the European Space Agency. NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, manages the telescope. The Space Telescope Science Institute (STScI) in Baltimore conducts Hubble science operations. STScI is operated for NASA by the Association of Universities for Research in Astronomy, Inc., in Washington, DC.
The prime source of energy in the nebula is the massive, hot star HD 42088, outside the Hubble image field, but the brightest single star above center left in the wider field of the ground-based image. This star has a mass 30 times that of the Sun and a surface temperature 6 times greater. Such stars emit prodigious amounts of high-energy ultraviolet radiation, and they are so luminous that their gravities can't prevent their outer atmospheres from being blown away in high-speed "stellar winds." As a result, such stars live fast and die young — this one is less than halfway through its total lifetime of about 4 million years. For comparison, the Sun is also a bit less than halfway through its lifetime of 10 billion years. Massive stars die in spectacular supernova explosions after their nuclear energy sources are depleted, whereas the Sun will have a more quiescent demise as first a red giant and then a white dwarf.
The ultraviolet radiation from the massive star causes the nebula to shine, while in combination with the wind it causes the nebula to expand. The fact that the star is not centered in the nebula shows that the expansion has encountered denser surrounding material toward the top and left. The densest region at left corresponds to the pillars imaged by Hubble. Here the dust and gas are being evaporated and dispersed by the energetic flows from the hot star; where there is a very dense condensation, a pillar is formed pointing toward the stellar energy source, because the condensation shields the material behind it. If the condensation is dense enough, rather than dissipating, it may be pushed to collapse into a new "triggered," "second-generation" star. Such an event is occurring in a pillar above center right as seen in the Hubble infrared image. It cannot be seen in the optical image, because those wavelengths are blocked by the pillar dust. However, the new star will eventually itself dissipate its dust cocoon and emerge to be seen in the optical.
As can be seen in the ground-based image, there are numerous small clusters within and just outside the large nebula, some with their own associated smaller nebulae. Some of them are very young and may also have been triggered by HD 42088, or otherwise formed spontaneously by different processes within the original large cloud. Recent detailed optical and infrared studies of this region from the ground have been led by the Indian astronomer J. Jose and are published in the Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, volume 432, page 3445 (2013), and volume 424, page 2486 (2012).

The New York Police Department has no intention of scrapping a policy of recruiting Muslim arrestees and arrestees from Muslim countries as informants, visiting NYPD Commissioner William Bratton told The Jerusalem Post on Tuesday."Not at all, this is an essential element of policing. I created this policy back in 1994, in New York City last time I was commissioner, where very person arrested was interviewed by detectives about not necessarily the crime they committed but do they have information about other crimes and is there an ability to develop these people into confidential informants," Bratton said, when asked if there was any intention to suspend or scale back the program in the wake of a New York Times article this week detailing the operations of the Citywide Debriefing Team.

"The people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world are the ones who do. "
Up Front: June 2011
Oliver Wendell Holmes said, "Controversy equalizes fools and wise men–and the fools know it." When we first began working on our Donald Trump feature, it was many months and many circuses ago. Like most magazines, we plan our covers well in advance, and we had been keeping The Donald on a back burner while we waited for the right time to spotlight him and his participation in business aviation. For obvious reasons, it seemed the right time was now.
Discussion about Donald Trump can set an ordinary conversation ablaze. Every single person I've mentioned our upcoming cover to has lit up with a
range of emotions, and the reaction has always been passionate. Despite his sometimes-outlandish antics, Trump's joie de vivre definitely has had an impact on American culture.
Just before we went to press, he announced that he will not be running for president in 2012. He does, however, still look forward to taking off in his plush new 757. We are thrilled to be able to give you all the details about the aircraft inside this issue.
By the way, many of you have mentioned editor Jeff Burger's article in the April 4 edition of Barron's and the feature in the May 23 Barron's (Penta section) by Charlie Alcock, who is a frequent BJT contributor and international editor for our sister publication Aviation International News. We're proud of our ongoing collaboration with this Dow Jones publication, which began in 2008, and are pleased that so many of you like the results.
If you have not already done so, please take a few minutes to fill out our reader's choice survey about flying privately. The form packaged with this issue makes it easy to participate, or, if you prefer, you can complete the survey online at www.BJTonline.com/survey. Then keep an eye out for our October/November 2011 issue, where we'll publish the results. They're likely to include some surprises and are bound to be useful to anyone who wants to maximize an investment in private air transportation.
Thank you from all of us for your readership, support and input.

Philadelphia Phillies (1-1) at Texas Rangers (1-1)
Starting Pitchers:
PHI: RHP Kyle Kendrick
TEX: LHP Robbie Ross
Time: 8:05, The Ballpark in Arlington
TV: The Comcast Network, home of Phillies Nation TV. Broadcast nationally on ESPN 2.
Weather: Cloudy, 80, 18 MPH wind
Media: Twitter and Facebook
A Note for Tonight:
Kyle Kendrick will toe the rubber as the Phillies face a second lefty reliever-turned-Opening-Series starter in Robbie Ross. Ross, 24, has 123 relief appearances over 2012 and 2013 for the Rangers but does not have a start to his name in the Majors versus 68 minor league starts. Ross throws mostly a 92 MPH fastball and a 85 MPH slider and has a pretty interesting reverse platoon split for his MLB career: .276/.347/.425 against lefties but .223/.292/.282 against righties.
Kendrick has faced current Rangers in just 39 plate appearances but Shin-Soo Choo, Donnie Murphy, and Prince Fielder have all taken Kendrick yard for a team that has hit a combined .344/.405/.781 against him. Kendrick will have to keep lefties Choo and Fielder in the ballpark if the Phillies are to have any shot at winning the opening series.

I thought I would Ryno as a manager. But he way over managing. How is JRoll not starting. And really Chooch in the 2 hole is just not right. 3 line up in 3 days is just moving people around to move them around. DHing Howard and JMJ at first that makes sense in an American League park. At 3 DHs makes sense. But to sit your starting SS LF and 3rd baseman in the first week is just trying to prove a point to the detriment of the team. Both physically and mentally especially the younger guys. And I really don't care if they sin tonight 22-1. I will still disagree with constantly rearranging the line up. Really Jimmy has 5 RBIs in 2 games. It is one thing to platoon position but baseball is a game of routine. Really feel Ryno is trying to prove how smart his is and if they start losing it is not going end up well this year
J roll isn't starting because he's back in Philly with his wife for their baby….
And this Sandburg over managing crap is getting way overblown it's been 2 games this year so let's cut him some slack before running him out of time, and yes I realize he managed last year, he's doing a fine job and he's learning still
Ok guys we got a game with the Rangers tonight. And that means one thing. Bad news for the Rangers!
Why the hell is Nix in the lineup again?
Rollins' wife went into labor so he flew back to Philly.
He's the new Eric Bruntlett/ Wilson Valdez/ Michael Martinez. Once you see his name in the lineup, you know the Phillies have lost.
Mr Buttermaker: You see those names in the lineup, and it's bad news for the Phils? 🙂
We all need to take a chill, Reno is mixing it up early in the season to find the best combo and give everyone equal rest and at bata, as far the bullpen, gotta see what these unproven guys can do, still question the Hollands and died man use last night but hopefully he learns and so do the pitchera
Lineup is always better minus Rollins.
Go Phls!!!
Well, they certainly made Ross work. His pitch count is already 28.
Uh oh…
That was lucky.
Wow I thought he was never going to homer again ever.
KK dealing
I am thinking world series!!!!
The mets are losing too.
Go Phils!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Understandable. After all, he hadn't homered in two straight games.
The pen still scares me. !!!
After a rough first inning, Kyle has really settled down nicely. 45 pitches in 3 innings.
bull pen time soon.
I cant wait
I hate the American league game with the DH.
Although it probably suits the phils more than most NL teams.
Sixth inning has traditionally been Kyle's benchmark. This is a great outing for KK. Drink the koolaid Andrew, while it's still sweet
Pen time?
Kid did his job
9th inning… Ruh roh…
KK did great…. hope we don't blow this game in the 9th, 2nd and 3rd with one out…
Tell us again, Papelbum, about how you didn't sign up for this. Because I ddn't sign up for this either.
Same old same old.
Did you see Chooch rolling his eyes at this garbage?
Papelbom puts the turkey in "Jive turkey"
On a positive note.
I am facing Paplebomb in fantasy.
On a truly sad note.
Ruben Amaro still has a job.
He will let this bum close forever.
It is WELL KNOWN his velocity is down and he sucks.
But we will never get relief
Hey Pap, we didn't sign up for this either.
wow… I would make Bastardo the closer the next game. KK deserved a much better fate.
Wow nothing else to say
how many losses until Ruben is fired?
Because I will root for them.
Give me a number.
So I have something to root for and watch and follow.
Besides this crap.
There is no hope until Ruben goes.
Sorry I am not a Ruben fan but firing him doesn't help AFW… If you want to fire him the off season is when you do that.
Ive been calling for it for years.
When people would make fun of me for it.
I don't care when it is.
But until it happens you have no hope.
so when they win games if it means job security for him.
I don't know if its good.
this is sad
It wont be Bastardo
Ruben and the Phillies are married to their old washed up has beens.
We will get months of this.
Everyone in the world knows Paplebomb sucks.
Except Ruben.
I feel sad for Sandberg.
None of this can be blamed on him
all year
Unfrikinbelievable, I knew that was going to happen, time to demote pimplebomb to mop up duty only, what a worthless piece of garbage… 0 for 1 in saves this year, how many do you want him to blow this year before we can get rid of him???
Great signing he was, really put us over the top!!
I agree time to let bastardo become the closer
The bullpen blows it again. This is 3 years in a row. Why 'don't they upgrade!
Isnt Paplebomb the highest paid reliever ever??
Who would make such a contract?
I know it is not protocol to fire a GM in a season.
But do it.
It should have been Ruben last year and not Charlie.
Should have been both
Andrew from wherever,
Sing a different song dude seriously ur so annoying with the raj stuff. I don't like him either but come on Man U going to post the same garbage again all this year. I come to this site to read articles and what other people have to say but u make me want to stop coming here. Just give it a break. Everyone knows he's not a good gm be a good fan and just deal with it or show ur frustration and don't watch or buy tickets.
This is the same GM that let a washed up Brad Lidge continue to close with an ERA over 7 in 2009. Look for lots of Pap. His 2016 contract vests with 100 games finished this year and next. 99 more to go.
Petition to change the Jeltz Award to the Papelbon.
Its not a bad idea Morris.
However, the implication with Jeltz is that it was just a boneheaded game with terrible play.
For the Papplebon, I think it has deeper meaning – starting with the basic Jeltz award but going deeper into arragance, overpriced along with a big mouth – a primadonna if you would who sucks. It might be a whole new category of bum because he sure isn't liked in this city either where I dont remember if Jeltz was hated like Pappy.
Yeah, the more I think about it, a monthly "Pappy" award or even yearly naming one player who has sunk below the mendoza line in play and character.

Witness for Peace has a long history of
leading delegations to Nicaragua. The WFP Southeast region has led youth
delegations to Nicaragua every summer for 20 years. Nicaragua is an ideal
destination for youth who want to experience a different culture and way of
living. It is a peaceful and beautiful country with abundant natural resources.
It is also the poorest country in Central America.
U.S. policies and corporate practices have
contributed to this extreme poverty. In
the 1980's, the U.S. organized, trained and armed a Nicaraguan paramilitary
group that came to be known as the Contras. The resulting war left thousands of innocent Nicaraguans dead, and the
country's infrastructure in tatters. Currently, Nicaragua is party to the
Central American Free Trade Agreement (CAFTA), which encourages Nicaragua to
compete globally by attracting foreign investment with cheap and abundant
labor. These companies set up factories, or maquilas, where many Nicaraguans
work in harsh conditions for little pay.
A Witness for Peace Southeast youth
delegation to Nicaragua will introduce you to Nicaraguan people and culture,
teach you about the realities of free and fair trade, give you the skills to be
an advocate for social justice, and allow you to explore some of Nicaragua's
most beautiful attractions while developing life-long friendships with other high
school students.
Applicants must be between the ages of 15 and
19 to apply.
On this delegation you can expect to:

Exclusive "W" Speech Preview
Our undistinguished, verbally challenged dear leader will be giving a very important speech on the maligned state of the economy later this evening. As an integral cog in the wheel of fast-forward journalism, RSBS was able to acquire an advanced copy of the speech by wielding its magical charm and flashing our telltale aura. After a thorough study, we feel it is our civic baseball-politico duty to go ahead and give you, dear reader, a short preview of W's finer points to come:
– – – – – –
"The economy? Yeah. It's bad. Surprised? That's what I do. Remember the Rangers? That was my team. I owned it. Y'ever want to cry about something, cry about that… yeah, you… what? It's called baseball. Sometimes you win… sometimes… sometimes you don't win and sometimes, well, it rains."
– – – – – –
"Sarah Palin… yeah… she's a hottie. She'll do alright here in my house. She will. Trust me. I'm from Texas."
– – – – – –
"You really want to vote in someone with the middle name Hussein? Don't you read your emails? I do. That's what a president does. He reads. Have you read Green Eggs and Ham? You should. If you don't you're what I call un-American."
– – – – – –
"You shouldn't be focussed or worried on the economy. We will bail those companies out. And if I can get congress to get on board, we'll also bail out the Montreal Ex– er, I mean, the Washington Nationals. And the Pirates. And maybe the Yankees."
– – – – – –
"John McCain. Vote for him. Remember, I still have my finger on the red button until January so don't mess with me. Don't mess with Texas."
– – – – – –
"I'm tired of hearing about red states and blue states. Put 'em together and whadya get? Purple states. And that's our color. Purple. Let's just be purple."
– – – – – –
"Life ain't all that bad, people. Don't you pay attention to the Cubs? They're good this year. I predict they win the Stanley Cup."
– – – – – –
"Did I mention that Sarah Palin's hot?"
– – – – – –
"The war on terror costs money. So get over it."
– – – – – –
"Don't take your money out of the banks. Leave it there. I may need to use it later in Iran. Guess you could call that one of the perks of being the bossman. Hehe. I get to use your money and you can't do nothin' about it. Sure, you can vote for the other guy, but you did that already and I still won. Ha! Straight shooter!"
– – – – – –
So there you have it folks. Consider yourselves forewarned and don't hate me 'cuz I'm right.

"Just be purple" LOL.
I gotta say Jeff, your posts never fail to make me laugh.
V – http://flairforthedramatic.mlblogs.com
Great post!!! I could even hear the Bush laugh, "hehehe". And thanks to your Cardinals for helping us shrink that magic number to 3. Those Dbacks are the worst in the 9th inning, they never know when to quit.
– John
Very funny stuff! But, watching Bush last night was more exciting than watching my Tigers get pounded by Kansas City!
Jane, V, John, Skip… thanks for stopping by. I too predict the Cubs to win the Stanley Cup (the 'hawks are playing a game against the Redwings at Wrigley Field this coming season) and the world WOULD be a better place if we were all purple. Skip, you will probably relate to my Tiger-lovin' cohort, Allen. But hey, at least Matt Millen doesn't run the Tigers… OR the LIONS anymore!
Good point Jeff! Now I CAN see that there is a silver lining around this dark cloud!🙂
I of course bear no ill will to the Cardinals for destroying the D-Backs last faint hopes of making the play offs. On a seperate issue I have deleted your blog from my recommended list.
Russell, you just made me cry. And then I realized you were joking. Go Redbirds! Down with the Snakes!
I thought he had that "damn, and I was almost out of here before the **** storm hit" look last night.

The asynchronous and synchronous high-density WAN interface cards (HWICs) supported on the modular Cisco 1800 Series, Cisco 2800 Series and Cisco 3800 Series Integrated Services Routers offer cost-effective solutions for common networking problems such as WAN aggregation, legacy protocol support, console and terminal server support, and dial access support.
New HWIC Configurations Include:
- 4-port serial (2800 and 3800 only)
- 4-port asynchronous/synchronous
- 8-port asynchronous/synchronous (RS-232 only)
- 8-port asynchronous
- 16-port asynchronous (2800 and 3800 only)
Solving Common Network Problems:
- WAN aggregation - Synchronous ports allow leased line and Frame Relay connections to remote sites. The 4-port serial HWIC can support speeds up to 8 Mbps on each port and are ideal for remote-site aggregation in small networks.
- Legacy protocol transport - Low-speed synchronous ports can transport legacy protocols such as SDLC, IBM SNA, Bi-sync, and X.25 across a TCP/IP network, which eliminates the need for separate networks for these protocols and generates cost savings from network convergence.
- Console and terminal server support - Asynchronous ports provide highly flexible connections that allow access to EIA-232 devices across a TCP/IP network, which means the network operator can manage a network of remote devices from a central location.
- Dial access server support - Asynchronous ports can be used to connect to an external modem bank to provide low-density dial access server solutions. Speeds up to 230.4 kbps provide fast communication with the latest modem speeds and compression technologies. Cisco IOS Software support is provided for SLIP and PPP dial access methods. RADIUS, TACACS+, and local authentication is available for dial users.

Like an angler presenting a dry fly in a favorite Lackawaxen River fishing pool, the town presented its proposed regulations for use to the current owners of the parcel of land known as the Threshman property on the Lackawaxen River. And just like what happens all too often while fly fishing, nothing rose to take the bait.
At December's town meeting, solicitor Anthony Waldron broke the news. The townships' proposal to landowner Kittitanny Canoe's (KC) was rejected. KC owner David Jones maintained his company is in compliance with township ordinances and is not operating illegally. "I'm running a green business. This is eco-tourism.
And this is the perfect fit for not only the town but the river. Why is this even an issue? This is a grandfathered existing business. They've admitted that. We've provided the proof, the evidence, they have that."
KC bought the property in 2010 from the Threshman family, who operated a livery business from the site for decades. It's agreed the property enjoys grandfather status as a non-conforming livery use. Similar businesses on the Lackawaxen were prohibited in 1992 by the township. To keep that status, the business must maintain continued use of the property, and can't shut down for a year or more and maintain status without filing with the town for an extension. Therein lies the hook the township hopes to set.
"In the mid 2000s [while owned by Threshman] there's indication they stopped for a period of time. In 2006, we had some bad floods," Waldron said. "It's the obligation of the property owner, in this case Ewell Threshman, to file certificates of intention for the years that it was not in operation. We never got that; I checked the records."
Filing for the extension is the landowner's responsibility; proving the one-year gap is the town's responsibility. Waldron says in KC's evidence, those years are vague, meaning no receipts, no affidavits, just a handwritten tally of boats KC claims were launched from the property.
Jones claims that the township just pushed their regulations "down our throats," and that neither he nor his attorney had input in the matter. That's not true, according to Waldron, who contends a KC attorney was present in developing the terms, even suggesting several conditions contained in the proposal.
The conditions addressed several concerns brought up by residents, including expansion, excessive drinking, road use and canoe storage. Jones says the towns regulations are unfeasible. "You can't strip search people," he said, "it's against the law," contending a "no alcohol" policy is impossible to enforce. His trucks he said are legal, and his drivers licensed.
Jones boasted of a perfect driving record for his company: there were no accidents and no tickets from launching there. He insisted he has no interest in expanding into non-boating activities. The ability to store boats on his property, he said, enables him to transport the watercraft in off-peak times, reducing traffic when all other paddlers are moving their boats. If only KC boats were allowed to launch from the site, which is one condition, Jones said the public, which he says is challenged to find a safe and legal area to launch, would be punished. "There are a lot of people that want to launch there. And some of the people are Lackawaxen residents.
These people have used this launch for years and years."
Jones said, using National Park Service guidelines, he educates boaters on safety issues and on respecting private property and the dangers and legal ramifications of over-imbibing on the river.
Waldron made it clear the town is not backing down. "I'm recommending that we treat the property as being in violation."

Prices of diamonds vary greatly depending upon the shape selected. Round diamonds have been the most popular shape for decades due to their optimal brilliance. They command higher prices than fancy shapes due to higher manufacturing costs and higher demand.
Fancy shaped diamonds include all diamonds other than round. Blue Nile offers nine different styles of fancy shapes including emerald-cut, Asscher-cut and heart. Choosing a fancy shaped diamond can save you more than 25% versus a round diamond of similar size and quality. Depending on the shape selected, many fancies such as marquise, oval and pear shape are elongated shapes and appear larger than a round. Nearly one-third of all engagement rings today are created with a fancy shaped diamond, the most popular shapes being princess-cut, cushion-cut, and radiant-cut.
The following illustrates the dramatic savings realized when choosing a fancy shape. Note: Prices shown represent the current lowest price for diamonds from 1.00 to 1.05 carats with a minimum of Very Good cut, G color, VS2 clarity, Very Good symmetry, Very Good polish and Faint fluorescence.

Deer Season
DEER HUNTERS, your wait is nearly over.
Deer-gun season opens in Ohio Monday and continues through Sunday, Dec. 2. The season again includes an extra weekend of gun hunting Dec. 15-16.
Deer-gun season is an Ohio tradition. It enables family members and friends to spend time together in the great outdoors.
Deer hunting brings great excitement and fun for thousands. It also can present many dangers.
Proper safety precautions are necessary to avoid tragedy, such as using a safety harness while in a tree stand, wearing hunter orange and being aware of your surroundings.
All hunters must know the rules and regulations. Deer can be hunted with a muzzleloader, handgun or shotgun from one half-hour before sunrise to sunset during the gun season.
Approximately 420,000 hunters are expected to participate in this year's season, including many out-of-state hunters. With that many gun-toters stalking prey, safety precautions are at a premium.
ODNR Division of Wildlife anticipates 80,000-85,000 deer will be checked and tagged during the week-long hunt.
Ohio ranks eighth nationally in annual hunting-related sales and 10th in the number of jobs associated with hunting-related industries. Hunting has an $859 million economic impact each year in Ohio through the sale of equipment, fuel, food, lodging and more.
Hunters are encouraged to donate any extra venison to organizations assisting Ohioans in need. ODNR Division of Wildlife is collaborating with Farmers and Hunters Feeding the Hungry (FHFH) to help pay for the processing of donated venison.
It's obvious that deer hunting is big business in Ohio.
It also needs to be a safe one. We urge all those stalking deer this week to place safety as your first priority.

Did you know that Moby-Dick was originally rejected for publication because it had the word "dick" in the title? No? Well, that's because we just made that up. But it turns out that some of the most-read books in the world were in fact rejected for similarly preposterous reasons over the years. Take, for example ...
5 Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone by J.K. Rowling
The Harry Potter series is, quite simply, one of the most lucrative ideas in the history of human civilization. The movies alone have made nearly $8 billion worldwide. Add in book sales and merchandising, and it's probably around $25 billion, and that's not counting the theme park. The franchise will still be making money for someone 100 years from now as it gets repackaged for generation after generation.
So surely the first editor who opened a box and saw this manuscript called Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone must have immediately started shitting dollar signs, right?
Not even close.
The Rejection:
Author J.K. Rowling might have approximately all of the money now, but things didn't start out that way. Once upon a time, Rowling was living off of government assistance, retyping complete copies of the manuscript for Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone to send out to publishers because she was too broke to have photocopies made. So she sent off her precious slaved-over copies of the manuscript to publishing houses, where they promptly went into the trash.
"After careful consideration, we've decided to release the hounds."
The first several publishers she tried rejected it outright, all for the same reason: It was far too long for a children's book. Now, we feel it's important to interject here that, at 320 pages for the U.S. paperback edition, the first book is the shortest of the kajillions-sold series, with Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix topping out at close to three times that length. So not only was 320 pages not too much for the fragile brains of modern children, but they read six other, longer episodes -- 4,224 pages to be exact.
Anyway, deciding that she needed an agent, Rowling thumbed through a directory and chose Christopher Little because the name sounded like a character in a children's book. She shipped her manuscript off to Little's office, where it met a familiar fate: An assistant tossed it straight into the rejection pile because Little thought that children's books didn't make any money. Again, it's understandable if maybe you don't anticipate that this child wizard story would ultimately make more money than the gross domestic product of Bolivia, but it seems like it would still occur to someone that it was worth putting the thing into print just to see what would happen.
"We've decided it would work better as part of a package deal."
Eventually fate (or possibly a curse on Rowling's part, we're not sure) intervened when Rowling's illustrations caught the eye of Little's assistant while she was sending out the rejections. She convinced Little, who signed Rowling on ... at which point publishers continued to reject Harry Potter. Finally, Little shipped it off to Bloomsbury Publishing, where chairman Nigel Newton agreed to look at it as a personal favor.
Newton then did something that apparently never occurred to other children's book publishers, which was to show it to an actual child. He offhandedly tossed the manuscript to his 8-year-old daughter, who devoured it in hours and came back to him demanding more. Only at that point did someone finally decide, "Eh, let's put some copies out there. Who knows, maybe this will make us all enough money that we can each live on an island made of gold."
"I just wanted to let you know that I now legally own all your organs. Cheers!"
4 Animal Farm by George Orwell
Familiar to anyone who's ever taken a high school English class, George Orwell's Animal Farm is the allegorical story of the Russian Revolution and the subsequent Stalin era in the Soviet Union in which (spoiler alert!) Stalin and company are filthy pigs who take over a farm for the supposed benefit of all its inhabitants, only to run it according to their own hoggish desires.
If you feel the need to justify your bacon addiction, read this book.
It was a scathing and revelatory view of Stalin's regime in a time when -- thanks to Russia being an important ally in the war against the Nazis -- people still held Stalin in high regard. All of it was ingeniously presented in the form of an easy-to-digest children's book starring adorable talking animals. It's no wonder that it's now considered one of the 100 greatest novels of the last century and included in collections of The Great Books of the Western World.
The Rejection:
Nobody had the balls to publish it.
Orwell's situation is different from some of the other authors on this list -- he wasn't some nobody living in a van in England trying to get publishers to recognize his talents. He was already well-known by the time he wrote Animal Farm. But publishers in the U.K. weren't about to touch a manuscript that criticized their main man J-Stal. Orwell suffered through several outright refusals until publisher Jonathan Cape almost pulled the trigger, but then backed out of the deal.
"We've decided to go another direction. A blubbering, candy-ass direction, specifically."
Why? Well, they consulted the Ministry of Information (an agency set up in the U.K. during the war to manage propaganda), and the guy they talked to there advised them against it. By the way, that man was named Peter Smollett, and he was later confirmed to be a freaking Soviet spy. Is it any wonder Orwell would go on to write Nineteen Eighty-Four? The dude was already living it.
The manuscript then made its way to famed poet T.S. Eliot, who was director of the publishing company Faber and Faber at the time. Eliot wasn't big on it, either -- he sent Orwell a detailed letter explaining why he thought Animal Farm had totally missed the head of the ideological nail, admitting that the novella was very well-written but that Orwell was being a bit too hard on poor old Stalin, who maybe perhaps wasn't so bad of a guy after all, you know? Eliot wrote:
"After all, your pigs are far more intelligent than the other animals, and therefore are the best qualified to run the farm -- in fact there couldn't have been an Animal Farm without them: so that what was needed (someone might argue) was not more communism but more public-spirited pigs."
"Oh, a reply from George Orwell, I wonder what-"
These same public-spirited pigs represented the totalitarian communist party that eventually slaughtered an estimated 6 million civilians ... yay pigs!
Four publishers passed on Animal Farm before it finally got published in 1945 -- after the war was safely over and nobody cared about pissing off Stalin anymore. And just in case our U.S. readers are feeling superior about how nervous U.K. publishers were about Orwell's masterpiece, one American publisher supposedly rejected the book on the grounds that there was no market for "animal stories" in the USA.

No need to be apprehensive about the fever pitch of excitement surrounding the new Homage store that opened at Easton on Tuesday; a second home field has the popular T-shirt line focused on its fans more than ever.
"I think people are worried that this is going to be something corporate or turn into a big-box store," said Homage owner Ryan Vesler. "The Short North is cool, but it is definitely a destination location. We're excited to bring something fun and unique to Easton and expose Easton shoppers to Homage and continue to tell the brand's story."
At 2,600 square feet, the Easton spot is twice the size of the original Homage spot — which, keep your Umbros on, is still open.
Sports and pop culture nostalgia reign supreme. Bleachers from Pittsburgh's Three Rivers Stadium sit outside, a salvaged scoreboard hangs above the cash register and hardwood from an Ohio basketball court makes up part of the store's walls.
A mural painted by local artist Andrew Kern and the back end of a 1973 Volkswagen bus highlight Surf Ohio products, and a dinosaur of an Apple II is what customers use to sign up for the Homage computer club (aka email updates).
New to shoppers with the Easton launch are Homage-branded products, like Homage logo tube socks ($12) and T-shirts that say phrases such as "Leave No Regrets on the Field."
"Those are our values," Vesler said. "That's what we believe in — being authentic, telling a story and connecting with our customer."
All T-shirts are still $28. And the new store has room to introduce new women's and kids' designs and more fall styles. Hello, vintage-style crew sweatshirts.
As the store works to score in a landscape loaded with heavy-hitting brands, the budding Homage team references a fortune cookie that director of operations Annette Grant got a few months ago. It reads, "Life is never more fun than when you're the underdog competing against giants."
"I think that's perfect for us," Vesler said.
And yes, packs of classic playing cards still come with Homage purchases.
