It's Their Turn: Yankees Blownout Miserably By Sox
Yankees Lose In Blowout Fashion, No Pitching Or Hitting
Alright. Yesterday's game was pretty gross. I didn't even watch the whole thing. I kept thinking if I watched any more then I would throw up. It was disgusting. Burnett stank and the Yankees stranded everyone on base. And I had to hear those moronic FOX announcers openly cheer for the Red Sox. Couldn't game 1 have been on FOX, instead of yesterday's when the Yankees stank for the whole world to see? Ugh. The Yankees lost yesterday 14-1.
Pitching Analysis: All of the Yankee pitchers stank yesterday. Burnett started, and he had his worst outing yet. He went just 5 innings and gave up 9 runs on 9 hits. I don't want to explain how he gave up the runs because I throw up a little when I think of Red Sox rounding 3rd and touching home. It is repulsive.
I think A.J. is gonna be sick, too.
Alfredo Aceves pitched 2 innings and gave up 3 runs. David Robertson, who looks really cute wearing the high sox, pitched 1 inning and gave up 2 runs. I guess it was just one of those days where nobody can pitch.
Defensive Analysis: The defense wasn't much of an issue. Most of the time balls were hit in spots where all the defense could do was chase it down.
Offensive Analysis: Although the pitching sucked, the lack of offense is what really made me sick. The Yankees got 12 hits, but couldn't buy a run. The only run they got was on a homer by Nick Swisher in the 7th. That was it. They had chances to get more, but everyone failed with runners on base. EVERYONE. The team was 0 for 9 with runners in scoring position and they left 13 men on base. I feel sick just recalling it. I don't get how one night a team bangs out 20 runs, and the next they can't score. Hey, that's baseball.
It ain't easy, Joe. And sitting next to Jeet in the dugout ain't easy either!
So the Yankees lost, but they still have a 6.5 game lead in the division. I'm still convinced that the smelly Sox cheat a bit in Fenway by stealing signs. I wish someone would comment on my theory. I want to know what people think about that. The Yankee bats are going to be tested today, going up against Beckett. But I believe the Yankees can do it. GO YANKEES!!!
And now for a quick celebrity lookalike. This one invlolves Red Sox manager Terry Francona. It was recommended to me by my brother Bobby. and I must say, it is scary good!
…….Terry Francona…..and……
……Heinrich Himmler! AAAHHHH!!!

Hey, the Yanks and the Sox both beat up on each other so now they are even. let's see what happens today.
Francona & Himmler are more funny than Penny & Larry!!
Nice job on everything!! Rock on my goddaughter!!
Love ya…..see you soon!
Ted's right here, I think the rubber match is more interesting than going for a sweep considering how bad the pitching was for the Yankees. They need to keep Kevin Youklis and David Ortiz, in check tonight.
Matthew Tan
How about Girardi & Java man?
Virginia, I like that you do the whole "Player X looks like so-and-so"…..but you really crossed the line with the Nazi comparison. I know you didn't mean to be offensive, but it was. It's stuff like this that brings the Red Sox trolls out in force and really……you don't need that nonsense on your site.
I have to agree with Beth on the lookalike. It's fun to play the game but not when you're comparing someone to a Nazi murderer. As far as the game, pee-euwww. AJ did stink and I really hope the Yanks will come back in force today!
The worst thing about this game is that I think they scored 13 of their runs with 2outs if we had just gotten that ONE key out it would've went into extras or we might have won earlier because our confidence wouldn't have been down the tubes. The Yankees truly have to come back with force tomorrow, or else the Sox might think they actually have a chance at winning the division! And btw I don't think the pictures were "offensive" it's just true that they look alike whats so bad about that?
Raymond: Hey-hey-hey! Thanks dude! About Girardi and Java man, that's a bit derogatory. It's ok to be derogatorty towards the enemy (the Red Sox) but I don't know about Girardi. Maybe the next time he does something stupid I'll use that! Can't wait to see you!
PS: Did you see my entry of the cuties and hotties of baseball? I think you should.🙂
Love, Virginia
Virginia, I know you didn't mean anything by your look a liike. Does everyone realize you are sixteen years old.? I figure you probably saw that picture in one of your history books and drew the comparison. I enjoy your blog very much. You take a pleasant light hearted look at baseball and seem to remember that baseball is a sport, not life or death. Sometimes I cross that line when I take things too personally. I actually went through a depression when my Dodgers were slumping so badly. So keep on writing your wonderful blog. You remind me of what it was like to be a teenager again. Love you. Cat
haha, Cat, You must be loving it this year the Dodgers are amazing again, but sadly for my fantasy team they aren't doing too well of late!
//Does everyone realize you are sixteen years old.?//
I know how old she is, I just wished her a Happy Sweet Sixteen last week. However I don't see what that has to do with anything. I responded to a comment she made about this on my site, but to make a long story short……the Nazis and my father's side of the family were personally acquainted, so I have my own reasons for finding that distasteful.
Cat: Thank you. He was in my book last year!
It means a lot to me that you enjoy my blog. Thank you. I love your blog, too! -Virginia
The next time Girardi does something stupid? Watch the game tonight…it won't take long!
Don't worry about these over sensitive ******** bitching about Himmler. History can't be changed, they need to get over it and you just use your 1st amendment rights the way our Founding Fathers intended!!
//Don't worry about these over sensitive ******** bitching about Himmler. History can't be changed, they need to get over it and you just use your 1st amendment rights the way our Founding Fathers intended!!//
What an absolutely ignorant statement. Let me explain something to you, when you do research on your family tree and find that members of your great-grandfather's family were murdered by Nazis because they were Catholic and had convictions and would not allow themselves to be swayed into joining the Party, you find jokes about the Nazis extremely unfunny. So no, I will NOT get over it.
For the record, no one here told her to remove the comment, no one here told her to censor herself. She posted something, we commented on it. That's free exercise of speech, Mr. Constitutional Scholar. Had we told her to take it down or if MLBlogs took it down, THAT would be an abridgement of 1st amendment rights. Next time you opine on the Bill of Rights, make sure you actually know what you're talking about. I took 2 1/2 years of Constitutional Law in college…..did you?
Actually, I've taught Constitutional Law for much more than 2 1/2 years! That period in the history of man was dark and horrific. It never should have happened and we must see to it that it never, ever happens again. I am sorry about your family's history with the Nazis.
However, complaining, whining inane drones like you are
ruining this country from the inside out. By the way, nice use of "opine."
I always say; if you don't like what you see or hear, change the freakin' channel!
Now, can we get back to baseball?
Iiiiiick. Yesterday was a nightmare… actually a daymare since it was a 4:00 game. I can't wait to forget about it. I felt bad for AJ. I still do. Tonight will be different (and in our favor), I can tell you that much! =)
As far as everything else: can't we all just get along? =(
How are doing? My Dodgers are losing 3-1 in the 7th. Let's hope we come back. Good luck with the rubber game. Probably be home by the time it starts.
I think you are taking this a bit too personally, Beth. It obviously wasn't meant as an insult to any of the many people killed by Nazis. And joking about them isn't offensive. If it were offensive to anyone it would be to the nazis themselves!
//I think you are taking this a bit too personally, Beth. It obviously wasn't meant as an insult to any of the many people killed by Nazis. And joking about them isn't offensive. If it were offensive to anyone it would be to the nazis themselves!//
I can understand where you're coming from, it's just that in my family……this isn't funny. I understand that one person's sense of humor may not be someone else's and if you notice, I didn't tell her to remove it. I just voiced my displeasure with it and got called an "over sensitive ********" for my trouble. Which was uncalled for, but it's the internet….what can you do?
At least the Yankees won, so hopefully that will lay the happy down on everyone!

By Steve Terrell: The New Mexican
Democrats on the House Judiciary Committee on Wednesday saved Gov. Bill Richardson the embarrassment of a veto override.
The committee tabled a bill that Richardson had vetoed last year — a veto that the Senate recently voted overwhelmingly to override.
The bill would have forced state agencies to provide the Legislative Finance Committee with confidential information about contracts and programs. The measure last year had unanimously passed both chambers of the Legislature before Richardson rejected it.
The House committee vote to scuttle the override of Senate Bill 531 was 7-4, with all Democrats voting in favor of the move and all Republicans opposed.
When the Senate voted for an override, the outcome was 34-8, with a large majority of Senate Democrats and all Republican senators voting to override.
The bill stemmed from last year's refusal by Pam Hyde, then secretary of the Human Services Department, to comply with a Legislative Finance Committee request for information about Medicaid, including costs by managed-care companies that administer health-care services in New Mexico through state contracts. The federally subsidized Medicaid program provides health care to the poor and uninsured children.
The bill, sponsored by Sen. Tim Keller, D-Albuquerque, would require state agencies to provide the Legislative Finance Committee with confidential material, which the committee would not be allowed to make public.
On Wednesday, Katie Falls, the newly confirmed Secretary of the Human Services Department, told the House committee that the decision to withhold the information was Hyde's.
Falls said she had no problem providing the requested information and already had talked to LFC director David Abbey about it.
"I'm in full agreement the LFC should have this information," she said.
Republicans on the committee commended Falls for that decision. But Rep. Paul Bandy, R-Aztec, said, "This bill's not just about your agency. …This bill could be needed in the future."
Falls said she would be happy to testify in support of future legislation like SB531 next year.
Richardson's legislative liaison, Eric Witt, said the governor would be happy with the Wednesday's vote.
The governor's veto of SB531 is one of two that the Senate last week voted to override.
The other is SB460, also from last year's session. That bill, sponsored by Sen. Steve Neville, R-Farmington, would change the membership makeup of the State Investment Council, giving the Legislature more influence and the governor less. That bill is waiting to be heard in the House Taxation & Revenue Committee. Similar bills are also pending in the Legislature.

Oldest -Living Major Leaguer Tony Malinosky Passed Away
I was sad to hear from the InsidetheDodgers blog that Tony Malinosky, the oldest-living major leaguer passed away Tuesday night. He was 101. This post of the Oldest living MLB Major League player and Negro league was from two years ago in February http://crzblue.mlblogs.com/archives/2009/02/oldest_living_explayer_in_mlb.html
Mr. Malinosky played 35 games for the Brooklyn Dodgers in 1937.
My list of Living-Brooklyn Dodger players living Brooklyn players that I posted in January went down to 52.
I still remember when he was honored at Dodger Stadium in 2009. I was thrilled when saw him there after I had done a little research on him.
Born in Born in Collinsville, Ill., on Oct. 5, 1909, Mr. Malinosky moved to El Monte during his senior year. He attended Whittier College in California where he was a classmate of future US President Richard Nxon. During World War II, Mr Malinosky was drafted by the United States Army with whom he saw combat in the Battle of the Bulge.
Nice article in the Ventura County Star here http://www.vcstar.com/news/2011/feb/09/tony-malinosky/
Rest in peace Mr. Malinosky (October 7, 1909 – February 8, 2011).
Now the oldest living Major League player is Connie Marrero who was born on 8/11/1911 and played with the Washington Senators from 1950 to 1954.
The oldest Brooklyn living Major leaguer player is
Mike Sandlock born 10/17/1915
I will be back to post about some books I found at a library bookstore.

I have said it before, this is what sucks about seeing some of our players get older. They either have a medical problem or pass away long before we want to let them go.
Think of all the great baseball that Tony Malinosky saw from Ebbets to Chavez Ravine while wearing the Dodger Blue.
I hope all of us are so lucky.
Rays Renegade
Wow, from Ebbets Field to the Battle of the Bulge and that's just in his first four decades. What an amazing life he led! Rest in peace, Mr. Malinosky, indeed, and with our admiration.
That is why I was so glad that he was invited to Dodger Stadium two years ago (seems like it was yesterday). I know it was hard for him to get around but he made it and he made it 101! We salute him!
Yeah, can you imagine that? We celebrate his life!
You know back then they abused their bodies for the game and some partied hard too, how does one go through that era in the majors and managed to still enjoy 100+ years, if only you could bottle the essence of a man like that…..
Whats with the complaints about using the Brooklyn Uni's as throw backs this year?
The oldest living major league player: so sad.😦 His legacy lives on though. What an amazing and interesting man.

A simple wave can mean any number of things.
It can mean "Hello" or "Goodbye." If you're in a car, it can mean "Go ahead" to someone merging and "Thanks" to the driver letting the other person merge.
After an athletic event, it can mean "Good game." Or, it can be used as a taunt by a cheering section to the losing team.
The wave is versatile. And perhaps there is no wave more courteous or uplifting than the runners' wave.
Anyone who runs knows exactly what it is and what it represents. It will happen several times on any given run, when you meet another runner, maybe next to you on the path or clear across the street. The person may be twice or half your age. They may be cruising along like they're chasing Algonquin Olympian Evan Jager or they might be slightly faster than a walk.
None of that matters. You wave.
You wave because runners have a kindred spirit. There's a mutual respect there for doing something that is not always fun, especially when you start out, but is so satisfying when you have finished.
What's great about the wave is that runners, for the most part, understand each other. They admire the efforts of others because running is hard. When the last runner in a big race crosses the finish line, it's usually to a loud ovation. The fans appreciate sweat and the pain and the work that runner put in just to be there.
The wave is like that applause, only silent.
The wave says, "Way to go," "Keep it up," or "Great job." You wave, the other person waves back. Both of you get a little pick-me-up to keep pushing.
You could actually speak, but so many people listen to music while they run that they might not hear you. So, as to not be rude or seem like you're ignoring them, you just wave.
The runners' wave feels as good to give and as it is to get. And it's deflating when someone doesn't reciprocate. If you give another runner a wave, proper etiquette says they should give one back. We're both out there doing something good for ourselves, which is nice to be acknowledged.
Runners sort of have this unofficial fraternity/sorority thing going on. We are all driven by staying fit, keeping off weight and challenging ourselves physically each day.
The runners' wave? You could say it's our not-so-secret handshake.

Development discussed in Belmont Co.
ST. CLAIRSVILLE – The Belmont County Board of Commissioners heard a subdivision hearing and gave conditional approval to grant the final plat for Kettler's Ridge, Richland Township, during Wednesday's meeting.
An additional hearing will be held July 31 at 10 a.m. Commissioners heard from Trustees Greg Bizzarri and Greg Reline of Richland Township, County Engineer Fred Bennett and attorney Mark A. Thomas, representing St.Clair 001 LLC, the Portsmouth developer. The mapping is in order.
Thomas noted the location of the property, on the north side of U.S. 40 across from Whiteside. It is to house a new CVS Pharmacy, an Advanced Auto Parts store, and a Sheets as well as a hotel. A restaurant site is also available. The project has been ongoing for an estimated two years.
Thomas noted the process will involved the transfer of real estate from the owners to the developer.
Bennett said the issues will be in order once the property owners sign. He added that no new roads are involved and all the lots of the proposed subdivision front on public roads. From U.S. 40, access will be at the traffic light at Valley Plaza Drive. Bennett said the reason for the urgency is the large amount of dirt that must be moved.
The developer has an option to buy additional acreage to the north for further development.
The Richland Township trustees noted the potential of the project but voiced concerns about the amount of traffic that may result.
In other matters, Jim Cook of the Barnesville Senior Center, which is owned by the people of Barnesville, asked the board to consider providing financial aid to the center for the purpose of upkeep. Commissioners will consider the matter, but noted that the county currently pays for the center's utilities.
Commissioners approved a motion to award a contract for the county engineer's project to resurface various county highways to the low bidder, Lash Paving Inc., in the amount of $690,395.48.
Commissioners motioned to advertise for bids for the Sand Hill bridge replacement project based on the engineer's recommendation. Funding source is the Ohio Public Works and MVGT fund.
Approved was a motion regarding the allocation of $18,750 to the Belmont County Department of Development/Community Improvement Corp. for program operation and administration for the third quarter of 2013.
Commissioner Ginny Favede was authorized to execute the satisfaction of mortgage by separate instrument for Shawn Smith for a mortgage deed dated July 20, 2000, as recorded in the recorder's office. He was a CHIP Grant recipient, and the lien has been satisfied.
Favede was authorized to execute a memorandum of understanding between the Department of Jobs and Family Services and the Tri-County Help Center Inc. DJFS has agreed to promote the help center by including its toll-free number to clients for information and services related to domestic violence in the automated answering system.
Favede was authorized to execute the Family Service Agency budget allocation transfer request on behalf of DJFS. This allows two federally funded pass-through allocations to be increased in the Public Children Services Agency. They are a Medicaid Child Welfare grant of $35,000 and a post-adoption special of $15,000.
She also was authorized to execute a monthly cost reimbursement for the month of June 2013 on behalf of DJFS for the business resource network grant.
Favede was authorized to execute the state DJFS non-emergency transportation report on behalf of the county DJFS for April-June 2013.
Commissioners approved appointments to the Belmont County Local Emergency Planning Committee, effective June 18, 2013. to Aug. 15, 2013, to fill the unexpired terms of previous members. Law enforcement appointees are Sheriff David Lucas and Bethesda Police Chief Jeremy Campbell. Health is Robert Sproull, health department. Local environment is Michael Freeman, health department.
In addition, commissioners motioned to make reappointments to LEPC for a two-year term beginning Aug. 15, 2013. Elected officials are Commissioner Charles R. Probst Jr. and Pease Township Trustee Roger Weaver. Law enforcement is Lt. Jeff LaRoche, Ohio State Highway Patrol, and representing firefighting are Robert Smith and Michael Smolenak of the Barnesville and Barton fire departments, respectively. First aid is American Red Cross Disaster Director Glenda Hollandworth, and representing hospitality is Allen Bradley Simmis of East Ohio Regional Hospital and EMSTAR. Emergency management representatives are Belmont County Emergency Management Agency Director David Ivan and EMA Executive Administrative Assistant Becky Horne. Transportation are County Engineer Fred Bennett and Ohio Department of Transportation Superintendent David Schafer. Media is Ed Polli of The Times Leader. Industry representatives are Joseph Redinger of Ohio Valley Chemical, Michael Bianconi of Wheeling-Pittsburgh Steel and Doug Longenette of United Dairy. Auditor financial expertise representative is Auditor Andrew Sutak. Additional groups are John Green, amateur radio; Rose Grear of the Barnesville Kiwanis Club, Gary Obloy of the county Community Action Commission, Kurt Turner of the clergy and John A. Regis, Jr. of DJFS.
Commissioners appointed Tom A. Zuzak as layperson representative to the county 911 board, effective immediately through Dec. 31, 2014.
Favede was authorized to execute a grant application on behalf of DJFS for the Ohio Family and Children First-County Family and Children First Council Operational Capacity Building Funds for Fiscal Year 2014. Total budget is $15,750.
The board will reconvene July 25 at 9 a.m. for an executive session concerning personnel exception.

In the past year, the perception of Linux as a serious operating system for people other than "do-it-you-selfers" and programmers has gone from invisible to in-your-face. Linux is popping up everywhere, like mushrooms after a rainstorm. Every day there are announcements of new initiatives that involve Linux in some high-profile application, whether it's Linux-based supercomputers used by oil exploration companies or hand-held Linux PDAs or the GNOME foundation's promise of delivering a common desktop environment that can actually provide some useful services and applications across all Unix platforms (unlike the failed OSF CDE effort of the early 1990s).
Despite all the glitzy announcements and high expectations, there is still a lot of hard, serious groundwork to be done to ensure that Linux systems are successful players in the enterprise computing arena.
For the next several Linux in the Enterprise columns, I'll explore some key services and facilities that are needed to make sure that Linux deployments are successful and will allow your systems to be integrated as seamlessly as possible into your firm's existing infrastructure. These tools and facilities will also be useful to you if your definition of "enterprise" is a small company or start-up that isn't in the Fortune 500 just yet. Among the areas we will consider are: infrastructure monitoring, backup and recovery, automated installations, enterprise file sharing, security and automated log analysis.
One of the most important areas that you will need to tackle if you are planning on deploying Linux systems in an enterprise environment is how to integrate the Linux systems into any existing infrastructure monitoring tools.
At first blush, this might seem like an easy task -- after all, Linux suppports SNMP (the Simple Network Management Protocol) -- but SNMP alone is, for real-world applications, a way-point on a journey and not a destination unto itself. Even though Linux supports SNMP, tools are still needed to make that capability useful. The ability to look at SNMP variables or walk through SNMP MIB by hand isn't gonna cut it. What most people want in a network monitoring and management tool is something that lets them see a nice graphical representation of their network and other facilities and supports a lot of automated, scripted interfaces to manage the systems with a minumum of effort.
There are several tried and tested systems that can allow Linux to be managed just as easily as other systems.
Most large data centers use tools such as IBM's Tivoli, Computer Associates' UniCenter, or Hewlett-Packard's OpenView to monitor systems and give operations staff control over the systems and applications running on them. Fortunately, if you're inclined to buy such applications rather than build, all of these products are available for Linux systems. Unfortunately, Linux systems are supported as clients that can be monitored rather than as monitoring systems themselves, but half a loaf is better than none.
Tivoli, Unicenter, and OpenView have been around for a long, long time, and are used in most of the world's largest computing environments. They have a great track record and IBM, Computer Associates, and Hewlett-Packard should be applauded for being way ahead of the market in their support for Linux.
With tools such as these (they all support basically the same kinds of functionalities, but differ in their implementation and exact feature sets and add-on components), it is possible to do any and all of the following, without a single human being ever touching a keyboard:
You might be thinking "So what? I can do that with some Bourne shell scripts..." -- that's mostly true, but can you perform these action on 10,000 machines simultaneously? Will your scripts scale to a world-wide enterprise? Probably not ... and that's not a "bad thing" -- that's why enterprise management systems were developed.
IBM's Tivoli
Computer Associates' UniCenter
Hewlett-Packard's OpenView
With the addition of enterprise strength management systems, you can put Linux systems into the heart of any data center and be assured that your systems can be monitored and managed as well as more "traditional" systems such as Solaris-based Suns or even mainframe systems such as the IBM 3090.
In the next article in this series, we'll cover some that can bridge the gap between the "several servers" model of management and the kinds of enterprise management represented by the Tivolis, Unicenters, and OpenViews of the world, and look at some open source initiatives that may one day provide yet another option in large scale systems management.

OAK CREEK, Wis. (AP) -- In the wake of his historic recall win, Gov. Scott Walker says the best way to mend fences with Democrats is for lawmakers to collaborate on something everyone agrees on -- creating jobs.
Walker toured a manufacturing plant in Oak Creek Wednesday morning. He told reporters that his priorities going forward will be to help small businesses thrive and to put people back to work.
Walker says the lesson he learned from the recall experience is that voters want more time to evaluate proposed changes and to have their voices heard. He discounted talk of becoming a vice-presidential candidate. He says his friend, Congressman Paul Ryan, would be a better choice.

YSA STEM Fest Celebrates Achievement Through Service-Learning
Blog Categories:
On Aug. 1, 13 teachers gathered at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce for STEM Fest, a panel discussion highlighting effective practices in STEM-based service-learning. Convened by Youth Service America (YSA), STEM Fest celebrated the teachers' achievements in implementing YSA's STEMester of Service, a program that introduced extended service-learning to middle school students to learn science, technology, engineering, and math by addressing local environmental issues.
A representative from RMC Research, independent evaluators of YSA programs, presented results from STEMester of Service: students had large and statistically significant gains in academic engagement, academic competence, workforce readiness, social responsibility, and STEM measures in contrast to comparison students. (Follow this link to read the full public information brief.)
Though the hard data told an impressive story of student achievement, it was the teachers' testimonials that moved the audience of business, education, government, and service leaders. Joshua Johnson, a middle school science teacher from City Center Public Charter School in Washington, DC, talked about how his learning-garden project has spread to his entire school, and shared the personal and academic insights that his students gained. Watch Joshua and other STEM Fest educators talk about their "a-ha Moments" in the video below.
"I saw people who wouldn't have the opportunity to become leaders step up and become engaged," said Adrienne Jones, who teaches seventh and eighth graders in the Higher Achievement Metro DC program.
Kumar Garg of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, who leads President Obama's "Educate to Innovate" initiative, congratulated the educators and spoke about the great importance that the Administration places on STEM education, saying, "Thank you! We know these successes don't happen on their own. ... I want to let you know how highly the President thinks of your work."
STEM Fest marked the conclusion of the first three years of YSA's STEMester of Service, which was funded by a three-year, $1 million grant from the Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS) as part of a White House initiative to expand STEM-based service-learning.
Addressing the teachers, John Kelly, Director of Partnerships and Engagement at CNCS, said, "Congratulations. You did it! You showed that service-learning isn't just a strategy for civic engagement. You showed it's a strategy for academic achievement. You opened your students' eyes to what's possible. … Thanks to YSA — with service-learning, no one does it better."
STEM Fest was co-hosted by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce's Institute for a Competitive Workforce, which promotes the rigorous educational standards and effective job training systems needed to preserve the strength of America's greatest economic resource -- its workforce.
"Educators and employers are searching for ways to better prepare young people for STEM-based careers, and we know that service-learning is a proven strategy to engage kids to be good students, good workers, and good citizens in their communities," remarked Steven A. Culbertson, president and CEO of YSA. "These teachers and their students are testaments to the student and community growth that are possible through high-quality service-learning programs."
Reflecting on her experience with STEMester of Service, Brooklyn-based science teacher Deborah Sarria said, "I learned as much as my students did. … I can't wait to go back and do it again."
Melodee Hughes of Alton School District agreed, marveling that "the whole thing was just mind-blowing."

Celebrating 25 years of youth changing the world, Youth Service America improves communities by increasing the number and the diversity of young people, ages 5 to 25, serving in substantive roles. Through international campaigns such as Global Youth Service Day and Semester of Service; funding and grants programs; resource development; and training opportunities, YSA promotes a global culture of engaged youth committed to a lifetime of service, learning, leadership, and achievement.

Recent News
From the Pit Box: Texas with Phil Gould
October 30, 2013
The 2013 NASCAR Nationwide Series season is in its final stretch to the NASCAR Nationwide Series championship finale at Homestead-Miami Speedway. This weekend, the No. 2 Shore Lodge team tackles Texas Motor Speedway for the second time this season. Just 15 points out of fifth place in the championship point standings, Crew Chief Phil Gould discusses what it'll take to be competitive in the Lone Star State.
Q: How do you set the No. 2 Chevrolet Camaro up for Texas Motor Speedway?
A: Texas is a real areo-senstive track, and you need to prepare for that. In the spring, we were way too loose, as the race wore on, we got it where we needed, but it took too long to get there. In the spring, it was a night race and this time, we're running in the afternoon. Usually when you practice and race during the day, it gives you a better idea of what to except going into the race. This weekend, there will be a lot of cars on the track with all three series, so there will plenty of rubber laid down and more grip.
Q: How does the track change during the race?
A: As the race wears on, the track looses grip resulting in a lot of tire ware. The track is almost a lot like Atlanta now; the surface has turned gray and its real abrasive which increases tire ware. You'll get looser as the race goes on, so you need to be pro-active to stay ahead of the track.
Q: What is/are the key(s) to success at this track?
A: Managing your tires is key. There will be a point of time where you'll only have three sets of tires, and you have to make a decision to either stay out or come in and put new tires on. You don't want to run out of tires before the end of the race. In the end, if you do what the majority does, you'll be ok.
Q: What does the No. 2 team need to do over the next three races to be inside the top-five in championship points?
A: We need to go out and do the best we can every week by finishing as high as possible in each of the three remaining races. If we aim high, do our job and homework, we'll be fine in the end.
Q: As your freshman year crew chief season comes to an end, what would you consider it to be successful?
A: I would love to win a race. We still have three opportunities to get it done. I think that Richmond and Indianapolis proved we can win with our second-place finishes. With the remaining three races in the season, we'll be good, but Phoenix is it. Our short track program for the No. 2 team is our strong suit. I look at Phoenix to be our best. Then to get to fifth in points, it would be a huge success.
Q: Favorite Race memory at Texas Motor Speedway?
A: We'll make one this weekend…

MADISON, Wis. (AP) -- Gov. Scott Walker says he feels "super" in the two months since his recall election victory.
Walker said Tuesday not having to worry any more about the recall has allowed him to focus on other issues, like spending a full day recently touring drought damage or touting a cellphone recycling program to benefit military serving overseas.
Walker also says he's been able to have low-pressure meetings with state lawmakers since the recall. He says those meetings are an extension of talks that came at the bipartisan "brat summit" he held at the governor's mansion week after the recall.
Walker defeated Democratic Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett by 7 points in the June 5 recall.

Sullivan County Manager David Fanslau has issued a Flash Flood Watch associated with Heavy Rain Potential through late Friday evening. Fanslau said, "The National Weather Service (NSW) has issued a Flash Flood Watch in Sullivan County. Rain, heavy at times will persist across the watch area through late this evening. Rainfall totals of 1 to 2 inches are possible in the watch area through midnight. Brief heavy downpours would cause the most significant problems due to the very wet soil conditions.
A Flash Flood Watch means that conditions may develop that lead to flash flooding. Flash flooding is a very dangerous situation. You should monitor later forecasts and be prepared to take action should Flash Flood Warnings be issued.
Residents are advised to not drive your vehicle into areas where the water covers the roadway. The water depth may be too great to allow your car to cross safely. Move to higher ground
I strongly urge any resident who lives near a stream, creek or river to be prepared and alert as this storm progresses, and to take preventative measures to protect their property through sandbags, etc. Outdoor, moveable property should be secured, and indoor property should be put up in case of flooding in the home. Furthermore, in case of emergency, all residents in these areas should make preparations to vacate their home if conditions warrant, and are strongly urged to comply with any and all reasonable requests from law enforcement or emergency responders during an emergency.
County residents, particularly those in flood-prone areas, are also urged to have enough flashlights and extra batteries, canned goods and bottled water for 48 hours, in case of power outage or emergency. Residents are encouraged to make arrangements to check on elderly neighbors, and arrange for pets to be housed either inside, or with proper shelter.
During the storm all County residents are urged to remain indoors and off roadways whenever possible. If residents must drive, they are advised to exercise extreme caution when driving through this storm, and to pay special attention not to drive through pooling or standing water. If there are flood conditions on a roadway, please do not travel through the water.
Sullivan County officials will be in contact with all towns, village and fire departments in the flood-prone areas, to ensure all precautionary measures are being taken, and implementing contingency plans in case of flooding. County officials will remain in contact with these towns, village and volunteer first-responders throughout the storm, as they monitor the situations in their own communities.
Should flooding occur in Sullivan County, residents and visitors are urged to visit the County website, http://www.co.sullivan.ny.us [2], for current news and information."

This rich galaxy cluster, catalogued as Cl 0024+17, is allowing astronomers to probe the distribution of dark matter in space. The blue streaks near the center of the image are the smeared images of very distant galaxies that are not part of the cluster. The distant galaxies appear distorted because their light is being bent and magnified by the powerful gravity of Cl 0024+17, an effect called gravitational lensing.
Dark matter cannot be seen because it does not shine or reflect light. Astronomers can only detect its influence by how its gravity affects light. By mapping the distorted light created by gravitational lensing, astronomers can trace how dark matter is distributed in the cluster. While mapping the dark matter, astronomers found a dark-matter ring near the cluster's center. The ring's discovery is among the strongest evidence that dark matter exists.
The Hubble observations were taken in November 2004 by the Advanced Camera for Surveys.

Can I get an infection if my partner urinates inside my vagina during intercourse?
What are the risks of a man urinating inside a woman during sexual intercourse? This happened to me...and shortly afterward I developed a yeast infection (I think). I haven't treated it and now I have bumps (probably warts) in the area around my vagina, and a swollen lump on the side of my groin. Are all these separate symptoms, or are they all because my boyfriend urinated inside me a year ago?

- One size fits most
Rated 4.3 out of 5Â by 54 reviewers.
Rated 3 out of 5Â by Turtlelady I call it a bedjacket! I ordered the Snuggler to wear to read in bed on chilly nights. My only disappointment is that you can't put it in the dryer. I do not have a clothesline anymore. Usually fleece comes out of the dryer softer! October 9, 2016
Rated 2 out of 5Â by Have no nickname. Disappointed I ordered it thinking it would come down to my waist in the back but it didn't. No real way to put it on, in my opinion. So I returned it. In exchange, I ordered the long flannel, Black Watch Plaid bathrobe with a snap front. I love this as the flannel is so soft and warm. This is the best yet from your store. My next purchase will be a new set of flannel sheets. January 28, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Windwalker Great Product, Great Service I looked everywhere for a flannel gown my wife wanted for Christmas. No local stores carry the old fashioned real flannel anymore. I found it at Vermont Country Store based on a google search. Of course, I ordered a color she was not crazy about, and the wrong size. I called your store, and the person I spoke with could not have been more kind and accommodating. In no time, I had the new one and an easy return method for the one I originally ordered. My wife is happy, making me also happy. She also asked that I order a Fleece Wrap, which she loves. Thanks for the great product, and the stellar customer service. Michael Rollins January 18, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5Â by JoT gift was a hit I bought this for my recently retired neighbor who is now spending lots of time at home. Not wanting to turn up the heat too much, she loves having this snuggler to throw on when she sits down to read or work on the computer. She is very happy with it! January 11, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Dusty S Mom loves this wrap I bought this fleece wrap as a Christmas present for my 91 year old mother. She recently told me how much she enjoys it because it is lightweight but very warm. She lives in Delaware, where it is often both chilly and damp, so it is nice that she has something good to wear on the raw days that come along during winter. January 11, 2016
Rated 1 out of 5Â by Good Girl Not like it used to be. Years ago I purchased the snuggler when the fabric was Polar Tec fleece. A few years ago I purchased another thinking it was the same fabric quality. It was not and returned it. The Polar Tec fleece is made in the USA and is soft, warm and doesn't pill like the current imported fleece fabric. October 1, 2015
Rated 1 out of 5Â by Frogg Do not like this product Not soft, cosy and warm like I expected! Washed it and used softener to rince. It didn't help! February 26, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Wraplady An easy way to keep warm I have purchased two of these wraps recently. One for Christmas for our 97 year old Nana who loves the warmth and color and EASE of getting into....when I saw how much she loved hers (she's wearing it in every Facebook photo she's posted!!!), I went ahead and got another one for my friend's 102 year old mom who is always snuggled under a heating blanket. Now she can have a respite from that blanket's dry heat day in and day out. Both ladies are very happy with these gifts and how easy they are to wear and how warm it keeps them. February 16, 2015

Award-Winning PBS Documentary Scheduled For September 21 In BSC'S Diversity in Education Class
CreatedThursday, September 08 2011
Created byJim Nelson/Media Relations - (304) 327-4103 email@example.com
(Bluefield)—The PBS documentary Not In Our Town: Light in the Darkness will be viewed by the "Diversity in Education" class at Bluefield State College on September 21 at 4 p.m. in Room 301/Ned Shott Physical Education Building. Students in Dr. Betsy Steenken's class will watch the documentary, and then will consider the importance and challenges of creating inclusive communities, according to Dr. Sapphire Cureg, BSC's Director of Multicultural Affairs. (There will be a limited number of additional seats available on a first come/first served basis for interested individuals from the College community and the community-at-large.)
The documentary revolves around a town taking action after anti-immigrant violence devastates their community. In 2008, a series of attacks against Latino residents of Patchogue, New York culminated with the hate crime killing of Marcelo Lucero, an Ecuadorian immigrant who had lived in the Long Island village for 13 years. Seven local teenagers were arrested for the attack and one was charged with murder. Over a two-year period, the story follows Mayor Paul Pontieri, the victim's brother, Joselo Lucero, and Patchogue residents as they openly address the underlying causes of the violence, work to heal divisions, and begin taking steps to ensure everyone in their village will be safe and respected.
"The documentary is a powerful invitation to other communities to take steps to prevent the pre-conditions for hate violence before a tragedy forces the issues upon them," Dr. Cureg added.

Turtle Talk
Did you know that the beach in front of Wild Dunes is one of the favorite nesting spots for sea turtles in Isle of Palms? Read our conversation with Mary Pringle of the Isle of Palms Turtle Team to learn more about this endangered species and what we can all do to help...
Mary, what is your title and who is the Isle of Palms Turtle Team?
[Mary] I am the Project Leader for the Island Turtle Team, which is only one of 22 groups of volunteers in S.C. working for the Department of Natural Resources to protect Loggerheads and their nests.
How long have you been with the IOP Turtle Team and what are the teams goals?
[Mary] I've been working with loggerheads on the Isle of Palms since 1998. Our permit from SCDNR allows us to identify and mark nests, rescue and release hatchlings, conduct hatching success evaluations, use probes to locate eggs, relocate nests, screen nests from predators if necessary, measure & mark dead sea turtles, and transport or transfer sea turtle specimens in SC.
Are sea turtle counts currently increasing or decreasing and why?
[Mary] Over many years all sea turtle populations have been decreasing due to the poaching of nests, killing of turtles for their meat, and accidental deaths by commercial fisheries. Other threats to their population include watercraft interaction, disease, cold stunning, natural predators, entanglement in fishing gear, light pollution, nesting habitat degredation, and beach erosion. In 2008, according to the National Marine Fisheries Service and the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, loggerhead nesting is declining 1.9% annually.
Now let's talk turtles. Where do they come from? Where do they usually lay eggs and how many at a time? And, when is nesting season?
[Mary] Loggerheads who were hatched here return to nest here if they are females, but it takes 25-30 years for them to mature and return to their native beaches. They nest on any sandy beaches on the east coast from North Carolina to Florida. South Carolina has the largest population of Loggerheads north of Jacksonville, Florida and it is a separate "subpopulation" that does not interbreed with the loggerheads in Florida. So it is very important that we preserve the loggerheads in our state. They lay over 100 eggs in each nest between May 1st and August 15th. These eggs hatch between mid July and perhaps as late as October 31st.
How is this nesting season shaping up? Where are you finding nests this year?
[Mary] Loggerhead nesting does fluctuate from year to year, normally with several good years and then one low nesting year all over the coast. This year is one of the normal or good years. The Isle of Palms usually gets about 30-40 nests each year, and we are hoping for at least 30 this season. I believe that the turtles who were hatched on the northern end of the island 25 or 30 years ago and who are now mature, are returning to that area. At the time they were hatched this was an under-developed, largely uninhabited area. Now they are returning to find more people and more development. For this reason it is important to give them and their nests as much protection as possible. More than half of this year's nests were laid north of 46th Avenue (9 of 14), but most were relocated from their original locations because of unsuitable beach topography. Those areas of the beach that are very flat are prone to flooding which prevents egg development.
What factors disrupt successful hatching?
[Mary] Problems that inhibit successful nesting include: tents, chairs, and other beach debris that are left out on the beach overnight, holes more than a few inches deep left by beachgoers who fail to fill them in, trash - especially plastic bags that can get into the water and resemble jellyfish (one of their favorite foods) - blocking their digestive systems & causing death, and lights visible from the beach that discourage females from nesting and disorient hatchlings trying to find the ocean.
What can Wild Dunes and our guests do to help this summer?
1. Turn off beachfront lights (this is an Isle of Palms law), close curtains or move lamps away from oceanfront windows.
2. Remove tents, chairs, umbrellas from the beach each night (this is an Isle of Palms law), do not leave items behind on the beach and fill in any holes that may have been dug during a day of fun on the beach (building sandcastles, etc.).
3. If you see a loggerhead coming out of the ocean to nest, please do not approach her, make noise or shine flashlights.
4. If you see a hatchling on the beach or an injured turtle or tracks that have not been found, call the Isle of Palms police at 843-886-6522 or the Wild Dunes Operator at 843-886-6000.
Where can guests learn more information about sea turtles?
[Mary] The Island Turtle Team website. You can also find lots of great information at the SC Department of Natural Resources website as well as the South Carolina Aquarium site and at www.seaturtle.org.

MILWAUKEE (AP) — A Sikh (seek') group hoping to serve a federal summons on an Indian head of state while he's in Wisconsin is doubling its reward for anyone who can deliver the papers to him.
Sikhs for Justice originally offered a $10,000 reward to anyone who serves papers on Parkash Singh Badal (BAW'-dul). He's the chief minister of the Indian state of Punjab. The human-rights group on Friday raised the reward to $20,000.
Group spokesman Gurpatwant (goor-PUTH'-wahnt) Pannun (pah-NOON') says Badal is planning to be in Milwaukee for a wedding Saturday. He says Badal oversees a police force that has committed human-rights violations against Sikhs.
Badal's spokesman has said the group's efforts are "politically motivated."
A court summons can be handed to a recipient or even dropped at his feet.

(The entire section is 125 words.)
Melinda Sordino suffers through her freshman year at Merryweather High School in silence. Her transition from middle school to high school is...
(The entire section is 125 words.)
Melinda begins high school as an outcast; everyone is angry at her for calling the police during a party over the summer. Nobody, not even Melinda's ex-best-friend, Rachel, has asked Melinda why she did what she did. At an assembly on the first morning of school, kids taunt Melinda and laugh at her. When Melinda catches Rachel's eye, Rachel mouths "I hate you" across the room.
Melinda watches her old friends—Ivy, Nicole, and Rachel—join up with new cliques. Inwardly Melinda mocks the little clans the other students form, but it bothers her that she is unwelcome in every group. The only friendly person is Heather, a new girl who is as socially isolated as Melinda is.
Melinda regards everything her teachers say as lies, including their assertions that they are willing to listen and help. In her mind, Melinda mocks the teachers, giving them unkind nicknames like Hairwoman and Mr. Neck. In return, many of the teachers treat Melinda with suspicion.
At lunch on the first day, Melinda realizes she has nowhere to sit. She panics. A kid throws food on her shirt and everyone laughs. Melinda flees the cafeteria and runs into Mr. Neck, who gives her a demerit for wandering the halls. Melinda does not speak up to defend herself. She assumes Mr. Neck would not listen.
Only art class makes Melinda happy. Her teacher, Mr. Freeman, says each student will spend a year making art on a single theme. Melinda likes the project but dislikes her theme, "tree," which she draws at random. When she tries to get a different theme, Mr. Freeman says she is stuck with the one she has.
Through the first several weeks of school, Melinda's isolation remains almost complete. She spends her free time napping and putting off homework. She develops the habit of chewing her lips, which end up sore and scabbed. Even at home, she is alone. Her parents communicate with her primarily through notes on the kitchen counter.
Melinda's old friends Ivy and Nicole make no effort to talk to her. Rachel is actively cruel, and so are many of the older students....
(The entire section is 857 words.)
During the second school term, Melinda spends most of her time in her broom closet hideout. She covers the mirror with a poster of Maya Angelou so she will not have to look at herself. She brings in her drawings of trees to decorate the walls.
When she is outside this refuge, she hardly talks to anyone. Her throat is sore from lack of use, and her lips are sore from her biting habit. When she is alone with Heather, Melinda occasionally finds her voice and speaks a little. Around adults, however, she only stammers and fails to communicate. In her classes, Melinda makes little effort.
One day in social studies, Melinda doodles trees during a debate about immigration. The teacher, Mr. Neck, says the borders of the United States should have been closed to new immigrants in the year 1900. A student, David Petrakis, protests against the xenophobic tone of the lecture. When Mr. Neck tells David to sit down or go to the principal, David remains standing silently. Melinda is surprised at how much this boy can say with his silence.
Thanksgiving goes poorly for Melinda. She watches silently while her mother, swamped with work, tries and fails to cook a traditional dinner between frantic phone calls. Melinda's father thinks he can do better, but he turns the turkey into an inedible goo. He buries the bird in the back yard next to the family's dead beagle.
Afterward, Melinda digs up the turkey's bones and brings them to art class. Mr. Freeman is thrilled. He gives Melinda permission to skip Spanish and work on art made from the turkey bones. Ivy, one of Melinda's former friends, asks permission to stay too. Although Melinda is heartened when Ivy acts friendly, she misses her chance to start a conversation. Instead, Melinda arranges her turkey bones with the head of a Barbie doll, making a creepy piece of art. "This has meaning," Mr. Freeman says, "Pain." Melinda does not stay to talk about this. Instead, she flees to her next class.
In social studies, David Petrakis sets up a tape recorder. Melinda finds out why when she overhears a secretary saying that David's parents have hired a lawyer. The tape recorder and later a video camera are allowed in class to record "potential future violations" of students' civil rights. Melinda...

One morning Melinda misses the bus. Her mom tells her to walk to school. On the way, Melinda stops at a bakery to buy a doughnut. She runs into IT and bolts like a rabbit.
Melinda decides to skip school. She wanders around town, takes the bus to the mall, and ends up just waiting for school to get out so she will be safe to go home. By the end of the day, Melinda decides skipping school is not much different from going.
In English, Melinda's class is reading The Scarlet Letter. Melinda relates to Hester, the main character in the book, who has to wear an A for "adultery" on her chest. Melinda thinks she should wear a letter too: S for "silent" or "stupid" or "shame." Like the rest of the class, Melinda gets impatient with the teacher's search for symbolism in the story. Rachel, Melinda's ex-best-friend, speaks up and says she does not believe the symbolism. In response, the teacher assigns everyone an essay for homework. Melinda reflects that speaking up always results in punishment.
One day at lunch, Heather takes Melinda to a corner of the cafeteria, away from the Marthas, and delivers a break-up speech: "I think it's time for us both to admit that we...just...are...very...different." Although Melinda has never been very enthusiastic about Heather, she is desperate to keep her only friend. Heather is unsympathetic. She tells Melinda they cannot eat lunch together anymore.
On Valentine's Day, Melinda sees a heart-shaped note taped to her locker. She thinks it might be from David Petrakis, but she is afraid to open it. Thrilled with the idea that somebody may actually like her, she draws pictures with David in biology. Later, when Melinda works up the courage to open the note, she finds out it is not from David at all. It is a note from Heather, thanking Melinda for understanding that they cannot be friends anymore. Melinda runs to her broom closet hideout and cries.
Melinda continues skipping school. Soon she is called in for a conference with her parents, the principal, and the guidance counselor. At the meeting,...
(The entire section is 886 words.)
Spring is beginning, and Melinda is going to most of her classes. She passes a few tests and pays attention somewhat to the world around her. Andy Beast, her private name for Andy Evans, begins hanging around with Rachel.
One afternoon, Melinda goes to the mall. She runs into Ivy, who actually speaks to her. Ivy is working on her clown project for art. The two girls sit together for a while. Ivy draws clowns, and Melinda draws trees. Ivy says Melinda is better at art than she thinks.
Melinda begins to worry about Rachel, who clearly has a crush on Andy Beast. One part of Melinda feels that Rachel is a traitor who deserves to suffer for being cruel. However, the larger part of Melinda is worried that Andy...

What Makes Anyone Think Liberal Feminists Are Strong?
Emily Esfahani Smith wrote a surprisingly good piece about chivalry. Of course, it's surprising because it's at the Atlantic, but even a blind squirrel finds a nut now and again.
Anyway, although the meat of Smith's excellent piece is about chivalry, she said something about feminism that caught my eye.
After the women's liberation movement of the 1960s, which insisted on the equal treatment of women in all domains of life, feminists dismissed chivalry as sexist. They still do. A new study, published in the feminist journal Psychology of Women Quarterly, questions the entire enterprise of male chivalry, which, in an Orwellian flourish, it calls "benevolent sexism."
Chivalrous behavior is benevolent because it flatters women and leads to their preferential treatment. But it is sexist because it relies on the "gendered premise" that women are weak and in need of protection while men are strong. "Benevolent sexism," Kathleen Connelly and Martin Heesacker of the University of Florida write in the study, "is an ideology that perpetuates gender inequality." They advocate interventions to reduce its prevalence, even though, they found, chivalry is associated with greater life satisfaction and the sense that the world is fair, well-ordered, and a good place.
What exactly is strong about liberal feminism? Nothing really. Keep in mind; b*tchy isn't the same thing as strong, just as being an @sshole isn't the same thing as being strong. As a general rule, nasty, difficult behavior is a sign of weakness in men and women — and most liberal feminists have this weakness in spades.
They're also adept at playing the victim. "An accountant had a swimsuit calender up in his cubicle. It created a hostile work environment for me!"
That sound strong?
"The patriarachy is responsible for this failure! It's because of them that I can't succeed!"
That sound strong?
Asking government to give you free birth control because you're incapable of managing it yourself.
That sound strong?
That's weakness personified.
You want to see strength, look at conservative women. They're not afraid of guns, strong men or taking responsibility for their actions. They make their own choices and they don't give a damn whether some feminist harpy criticizes them for it. These are genuinely strong women and they don't get upset about a man pulling out a chair or opening a door for them.
They think they're worth it.

Pit Crew
Oh, just one last thing. If I was driving that No. 4 car, I would be raising so much cain they'd probably have to shove me in a closet, and even that wouldn't shut me up. You know what you have in Kevin Harvick. You know what you have in his crew chief, Rodney Childers. You know what you have in your owners -- Tony Stewart and Gene Haas -- plus the resources they have.
Why they don't have the best pit crew in racing is beyond me. If I was Gene Haas, somebody would be missing a tire changer, a gas man and a jackman -- whatever it took to get this pit-crew issue behind them. You talk about a team having its own pit-crew challenge, well, the No. 4 car is carrying the flag there. Bottom line, it's time to stop complaining about it week after week and go fix it. I'd go down pit road and go get me the best person in each position.
When you have the kind of sponsors they have, the kind of driver and crew chief they have and the kind of resources at their fingertips, it's once again what I call the blind obvious. Why don't they have the best pit crew to match everything else? Simply quit talking about it. Simply quit complaining about it. Simply go out and fix it.

@Tricia – Skeletori sounds like the coupling of Skeletor and Tori, which is a disturbing visual.
But agree with the Tori guess. It gives her another revenue stream and means Dean will stay around that much longer to live off it.ReplyCancel
Shhh, don't say Skeletor!ReplyCancel

Not for nothing but mystery girls is an awesome show. After i got passed her horse face on tv I realized she's still got it in her to do dramatic comedy.ReplyCancel
Between screwing up with face with too many surgeries, bad extensions from bleaching the hell out of her hair for years, & starving herself, Tori is scary looking.ReplyCancel
@Tricia- Collarbones & Hips! Too funny! It would be a great Indy band name.ReplyCancel
Immediately thought of Nicole Richie due to how scary skinny she looks but alas she hasn't been on anything other than reality tv.
I thought the point of weight loss products was to start with someone who needs to loose weight. Tori has said MANY times that she never needed products to lose (the baby) weight, she just stopped eating.
What is the product called – Weight loss for gullible idiots?ReplyCancel
Definitely thought this was Tori.
@ QueenAnne G. – interesting guess with Rippa.
what about
Maria Memnudes. ? Or whatever her name is.
I saw a pic of Nicole Richie a few days ago and she looks deathly ill – I don't think anyone would buy that she uses any sort of product to stay thin
Kelly Ripa works out like crazy
LOL Skeletori is the perfect name for TS, good job @Tricia 😀ReplyCancel
Thx @theresa..but me feels bad if she is unwell, sick and I gave here a name like that:(
However,..I think she has an eating disorder…for a while now…..and it was exacerbated by having kids perhaps the need in her mind, was even more intense to be"camera ready"
