text: My son just turned 18 months old. He has never had a bottle, and is still mainly EFB. I tried to introduce baby food at 6 months as my dr recommended. He refused baby cereal, gagged violently on it, uvula shooting forward. Same with every pureed veg, fruit, pudding, yogurt. He still will not eat. I nurse him every 2 hours during the day. He wakes up at least once an hour all night, every night to nurse. My dr is concerned and has referred me to a feeding team at a children's hospital. Dr. said there is a small window to correct his eating habits before it becomes a big problem. He will still only eat small bits. He takes about 3-5 bites of food he likes and that is it. His diet consists of french fries, chicken nuggets, blueberry cereal bars, white cheese, alfredo noodles, Gerber crunchies and once in a while, he will eat some cheese off my pizza. I have tried everything pureed, chunked, in solid form. Tried temp changes of warm to cold. He just gags or will not try it at all. I don't know what to do. He was presenting in the 98th percentile for height, weight and head. Then dropped to 75th for all 3. Now his head is still in the 75th but is in the 28th for height and weight. I know his diet is lacking protein, big time. But I don't know what to do with him when he is so picky and will not eat any fruits or veg at all. This is my 4th child and I exclusively nursed all of them until they were 6 months and they never had bottles and they all gently self weaned at 18 months. I am at a loss with this baby.

Let there be no doubt about it. This will in no way hinder the Secretary of State's excellent record nor will it be a problem if she decides to run in 2016.
Hillary Clinton has been an outstanding public servant for decades and a few rumblings from the other side, in an effort to derail anything with Barack Obama's name on it, will be an epic fail.
The Week
An independent inquiry faults missteps by the State Department in the death of Ambassador Chris Stevens.
"So much for any presidential aspirations Hillary Clinton may be entertaining for 2016," says Janet Shan atHinterland Gazette. An independent review board investigating the Sept. 11 attack on the U.S. diplomatic mission in Benghazi, Libya, released its unclassified report late Tuesday. (Read the whole thing below.) The upshot? "Systemic failures and leadership and management deficiencies" at high levels of the State Department contributed to the death of four Americans, including U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens. As secretary of state, that's a pretty big stain on Clinton's reputation.
The board, led by former diplomat Thomas Pickering and retired Joint Chiefs Chairman Admiral Mike Mullen, eventually concluded that blame for the American deaths rests "solely and completely with the terrorists," and pointedly "did not find reasonable cause to determine that any individual U.S. government employee breached his or her duty." But the board did fault the State Department for relying on unseasoned U.S. security personnel and Libyan militias to protect Stevens, ignoring requests for more guards, failing to make needed security upgrades, not adjusting to the deteriorating situation in Benghazi, and for poor intra-agency coordination. Clinton was expected to testify before Congress about the report on Thursday, but begged out, citing a concussion sustained during a fall last week while she was fighting a stomach bug.
Conservatives aren't buying it. With U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice pulling out of the running for Clinton's job and CIA Director David Petraeus ousted amid a sex scandal, "Clinton is the latest scapegoat for ongoing frustrations over Benghazi," says Alexander Abad-Santos at The Atlantic Wire. And since the report declined to name new victims to destroy in their Benghazi-gate crusade, they're making do with "Concussiongate."
Well really, Clinton is bowing out from yet another round of Benghazi hearings, this time because of a supposed concussion, "and we're supposed to just take her word for it"? says Jim Treacher at The Daily Caller. "If she has a concussion, let's see the medical report." Imagine the outrage if Clinton predecessors Colin Powell or Condoleezza Rice had called in sick for Iraq War hearings. Yes, "Clinton's story beggars belief," says the New York Post in an editorial. Thissupposed concussion "looks like one of the most transparent dodges in the history of diplomacy," and Republicans must insist she testify later if not now.
Give me a break, says Joe Gandelman at The Moderate Voice. Clinton is faking an illness? Theseconservatives "are fixated on creating crises where they aren't any," and doing so in a "cravenly partisan" manner. Congratulations, or something: Your paranoia has earned you a coveted spot in our "Get a Life" club.
In the end, Clinton will probably emerge from this relatively unscathed, says The Wall Street Journal in an editorial. Before she gets another chance to testify, she will likely "leave the Obama cabinet with sky-high approval ratings and an eye on the 2016 presidential nomination," and at this point, "it's logical for her not to want to dwell on the worst debacle of her tenure at State."

· Recurring gum infections
Ways to manage your diabetes
Type 1:
Although there is no cure for Type 1 diabetes, there are ways to maintain the disease. To stay healthy, diabetics must sustain a balanced diet, check their blood sugar level several times a day, and be sure to take their insulin. According to teen Type 1 diabetic, Joyee Chin, "It's tough. You don't really realize how much sugar is in the things you eat, or even drink. I mean, I can still have my Starbucks iced passion tea lemonade; I just have to make sure I take my insulin afterwards."
Type 2:
There is no cure for Type 2 diabetes. However, there are ways to prevent and maintain the disease. The most crucial aspect to this is a healthy diet and exercise. If a healthy lifestyle just isn't enough, contact your doctor and ask about diabetes medications or insulin therapy.

Visual fine artists invited to festival
HEDGESVILLE – Visual Fine Arts are at the heart of the North Mountain Arts Festival and it is time again for artists to register for this year's festival. Space is limited, so artists are encouraged to register early. Artists can find the registration form and other information at www.northmountainarts.com or at www.artberkeley.org. The deadline for registration is 8 p.m. April 1.
Photo contest
closes April 26
BUCKHANNON – The 2013 Strawberry Festival may seem like a while away for some, but for the Strawberry Festival Committee, Buckhannon-Upshur Camera Club and other organizations, the popular festival is just around the corner and it's time to start making preparations.
Over the past few months, Buckhannon-Upshur Camera Club members have been working diligently on preparations for the photography contest which will feature a new category this year. The category "nature" for the adult division enters the fold, replacing the flower category and offering a broader scope of images that could be submitted.
Flower photographs still fall under the nature category, but photographers may now depict other natural elements into their submissions for this category. Five other categories will make their return from last year.
The creative photographic expression category will feature any subject that has been digitally altered by adding elements to the image, or by taking them away. This category is reserved for the more extreme edits that move beyond the scope of basic touch-ups and enhancements.
The monochrome category will feature images that have either been taken in one color or converted to one color, such as, but not limited to, sepia or black and white. Monochromatic images submitted to other categories will still be accepted as long as they follow the guidelines for those categories.
The people category features images where a person or persons are the focal point for the image. The places or things category features subjects other than people, such as fruit and household items.
In celebration of the beauty of West Virginia, the wild and wonderful category will make a reappearance as well. This category may feature people, places, flora and fauna, activities and more.
The images submitted to this category must have been taken in West Virginia. They must also indicate the county in which the photo was captured.
The youth division is open to photographers 18 years old or younger. It consists of two categories, people and places or things. The category descriptions are the same as their namesakes in the adult division.
Submissions are limited to eight entries per person, and entry fees apply. Each entry in the youth division is $2, and each entry in the adult division is $4. For more information about contest rules or to print a submission form, visit our website at www.bucameraclub.com. Please visit our website for extended details about the contest. Entries that do not meet the rules or criteria will not be accepted. The entry deadline for all divisions is noon on April 26.

2009 American League Champions…
Good pitching beats good hitting…
Kathy Willens/AP
So goes the old adage, but clearly, the Yankees are headed for the World Series because of their pitching. Carsten Charles Sabathia is probably the one who is most responsible, although Mark Teixeira's defense is not too far behind.
Kathy Willens/AP
The Yankees eliminated the Los Angeles Angels 5-2 on Sunday night to win Game 6 and capture the American League Championship.
It was vintage Andy Pettitte, and he showed why he'll be fondly remembered as one of the great lefty pitchers in Yankee history. He'll be making his 8th World Series appearance (7th as a Yankee).
There were a few in-game decisions by manager Joe Girardi that did surprise me…
I didn't expect to see Andy Pettitte come back out to pitch the 7th inning. He retired the first hitter, Howie Kendrick, on a line out, but departed after the next batter, Juan Rivera, singled. Joba Chamberlain finished the inning unscathed.
I was also surprised when Girardi went with Mariano Rivera in the 8th rather than Phil Hughes. I realize that Hughes was partly responsible for the Angels' comeback in Game 5, but I still think that was because of the momentum given to them by the previous pitcher in that game, Damaso Marte. My only concern was the availability of Rivera to pitch in a possible Game 7. Nevertheless, Mo showed why he'll be a first ballot Hall of Famer at the end of the day. The punch out of Gary Matthews, Jr. to propel the Yankees to the World Series was classic.
Finally, I thought playing Nick Swisher was risky. Swish has been ice cold, and I was ready to see if an outfield of Johnny Damon, Brett Gardner and Melky Cabrera was more productive…or Jerry Hairston, Jr. in right at the very least.
For all of the moves, Girardi made the right call. Andy deserved the opportunity to leave the field with a tip of the cap to the crowd. Mo clearly had the right stuff, and Girardi was obviously playing to win. But I thought that Swisher's throw to first to double off Vladimir Guerrero at first base following a fly out by Kendry Morales in the second inning was huge. As Swish caught the fly ball, he immediately fired the ball to Teixeira, who stepped on the bag as he was falling back, just ahead of the sliding Guerrero. In my opinion, that was one of the keys to the game. A great play.
Elise Amendola/AP
So, Girardi was right and I was wrong. I am okay with it, because the Yankees will soon be playing for their 27th World Championship! After several years trying to escape Joe Torre's shadow, Girardi has emerged as the true leader of the Yankees. Best of luck to the Yankees as they open the World Series on Wednesday at Yankee Stadium against the defending champion Philadelphia Phillies.
A couple of other side notes unrelated to the Yankees. I am glad that ESPN fired Steve Phillips for the alleged sex scandal, and if true, congratulations to Tony LaRussa for bringing Mark McGwire back into baseball as hitting coach for the St. Louis Cardinals. Say what you will about McGwire, but I do think he deserves an opportunity to redeem himself for the fans.
P.S. Was it just me or did it look strange seeing Hal Steinbrenner in the locker room celebration instead of his dad? I know that it's now Hal's team, but there is still some sadness that George Steinbrenner is no longer able to be at the forefront of Yankee success.
3 Comments
Great, great win, Scott. I'm still on cloud nine. Andy was tremendous. I didn't worry about Joe going to Mo for the six-out save because he's Mo! It was a must-win and Mo is the guy I'd want in that situation every time. So glad it worked out. Swisher's throw to double up Guerrero was huge. Good for him. It did seem strange to have Hal accepting the trophy instead of George, but he handled the situation well. I hear George is coming to the Bronx for Game 1.
Congrats Scott – you've waited a long time for this. As I told you during the game – I shared your "concern" over having Rivera go for the six outs last night; especially after he allowed a run to score. It could have been a costly move if the Angels had come back and there was a game 7 tonight. And I have to tell – seeing Pedro in the World Series facing off against the Yankees? Who ever would have imagine at the beginning of the season that we would be seeing him back in the game? It brings back a lot of memories! Too bad your business trip back East wasn't this week instead. And thanks – I wish it had been my guys battling yours as well!🙂
Enjoy the WS!
Congrats Scott. Hey, I was scared there when Mo came in in the 8th. I know, I never like it when Broxton comes in the 8th.
I've heard Mark McGuire doing good things for kids here in Southern Cal.

2009 PNC Park Scoreboard Art
I've been to my share of major league ballparks. 25 to be exact. Every summer my family goes on a vaction to a big city, theres only one requirement, the city must have a major league team. This summer we are heading to Colorado and Arizona. Knocking two out at the end of July. I will provide more information and details about the trip, and previous trips later. This entry is dedicated to the best ballpark in America, PNC Park. Biased you say? Nah I say. There are many unique details that make PNC Park great. The sights, the comfort, the food, the natural grass, and especially the scoreboard.
While it may not be as large as the new Yankee Stadium and it may not be as unique as the crown in Kansas City, it gets the job done. It's very large and fits the flow of the stadium nicely. Of all the stadium I've been to i also feel that PNC Park provides the best in game entertainment. Of course it is probably a testament to the poor performance on the backs of the team itself. Part of the in game entertainment is the scoreboard displays that preview that batter that is stepping up to plate. PNC Park is one of the few stadiums that variate between innings with different poses, styles and demonstrations. This year features eight different displays for each inning. They're very cool and very popular amongst fans. This years crop of batter messages are among the best I have seen in the nine years of PNC Park existence.
As the first inning unfolds so does the best scoreboard art I have ever seen. Each player is presented in a comic book with action poses and an authentic comic book feel. It is very cool appealing to little kids and nerds. Even though I am neither I enjoy it very much.
To the untrained eye you may not understand whats going on here. To tell you the truth, the first time I saw it I was wondering what this nonsense was. To start off theres a brief video showing each player dancing around in a room full of floating metallic baloons. Very creepy/trippy. Some players such as Nyjer Morgan pull off matrix moves dodging the balloons while some such as Freddy Sanchez (pictured above) whack the balloons with a bat. After overhearing a middle aged couple discuss this video I learned that it was taken at the Andy Warhol Museam in Pittsburgh. I had an ah-ha moment and gave the front office bonus points for the alluding to a Pittsburgh icon. At the end of teh video the camera zooms in on the player's face with the balloons floating in the background. Cheesy? yes. Weird? maybe Cool? no doubt.
That would be Nate McLouth's shining grill in your face. Also another cool batter intro as each player holds a picture frame in front of their face, poses with a funky face 3 times then to put it all together you get the finished product as shown above. Each player has their own style. Some give ridiculous faces that would make a baby cry, while others simply grin or give the same face for each of the 3 photos.
Another allusion to the city of Pittsburgh as each player poses with their grill featured beside a bridge in the city of Pittsburgh. Not too much elbow grease needed to put into this one but its a great idea. There's nothing I enjoy more than Pirates baseball and Pittsburgh landmarks.
If you never been to the Steel City….you're missing out. Not really but still. It is a great city. For those who didn't know it, Pittsburgh is a very artsy city. As the hometown of Mr. Warhol there are many aspiring artists. Why not showcase a striving atrists by allowing their renderings on the jumbotron. Each player is painted on a nice slab of professional paper. Its very cool, especially if I was one of the players seeing a professional drawing of myself. I'd say its a step above from the carictures you can find at your local amusement park.
Everyone loves baseball cards. I myself have a very extensive collection. While I don't possess anything to rare or valuable, my father most definately does. Having many of his 1960s era cards still in tact, he admires the classics. During one of the innings as the batters step up to plate a smattering of vintage Pirate baseball cards or shown. Then a current Pirate is shown in the form of a vintage baseball cards. I love the retro feel and my father does as well. Nothing better than bringing back memories of the good old days.
Once again taking a page out of the Warhol book. Well not really, but still artistic. You can see that the player's face all distorted and all. Its probably my least favorite. I would assume to find something like this on a rock album cover rather than defining a baseball player.
Finally we have another cool one. Not too flashy but gets the job done. Once again a players face or batting stance is shown with their name in bold print. In the background is another Pittsburgh city scene. Some players have the distinct skyline, others have a drawing of a bridge, and some have a single building in the downtown Pittsburgh. Once again it something I enjoy most. Pirates and Pittsburgh…and everlasting combination.
Well there you have it folks. I'd love to hear feedback. Tell me what you think of the Pittsburgh in-game entertainment crew. I'm also interested to see how it compares to your own hometown team's scoreboard art.

Nyjer Morgan makes that scoreboard better. Every time he answers a question during Q&A he says/does something hilarious. Great post here, you just need a camera that takes a little bit smaller pictures, haha.
Personally, I'm not really into the whole marketing and entertainment portion of sports…I was trained by my Grandfather…haha. I understand that it needs to exist and that it has become a very popular portion of the sports world…but its still not my thing.
However, after seeing some of your pictures, I'm quite impressed! Do you know if each player gets to pick his background, like he would his walk-up music? That would be pretty cool…
How into WVU sports are you?
I want scoreboard art… it sounds so cool, and I'm jealous of it. I really like Andy Warhol, and the whole pop art genre. It sounds like the Pirates do a nice job of incorporating it, and I love that some of the players are really into it.
And 25 ballparks??? I'm jealous of that too! You have me beat by… 20.
That's really cool! I never knew Warhol was Pittsburghian. O's don't do anything like this! For the baseball card one shouldn't the T-206 be there?
I did a spin on Warhol's Marilyn Monroe stuff
Hi, it looks like you forgot to select Thumbnail and Popup when you inserted the pics. The text column width here is 550 pixels, and when you insert an image wider than that, you have to change the number at the insert-pic step to 550 and click Thumbnail and Popup. The only way to fix is to delete pics and redo. Happy Blogging,

Yes, it finally happened. After months of planning, weeks of preparation and days of excited anticipation, the gang at The River Reporter gathered in Callicoon, NY (www.villaroma.com [2]) and joined nearly 100 civic-minded individuals, donned fantastic costumes and spent a few hours entertaining more than 500 guests who turned out to take in the show benefitting the Boys and Girls Clubs of Sullivan County (www.bgcorange.org [3]) for the sixth annual Sullivan County Celebrity Dinner. In the six short years since this fundraiser was conceived, the event has grown exponentially into one of the premier evenings in the Upper Delaware River region and now that its reputation has been secured as the place to be, the evening sold out in record time.
This year's theme, "The Bright Lights of Broadway," encouraged 90 "celebrity servers"—on 20 teams, representing local businesses and organizations—to dazzle their guests with fabulous fun and impressive (IMHO) musical numbers from shows such as "Les Miz," "Mary Poppins," "Cabaret," "Grease" and "A Chorus Line." As a proud sponsor of the Boys and Girls Clubs, The River Reporter was thrilled to jump on board, deciding to put our unique spin on Broadway's megahit "Annie," with a cast comprised of our own Eileen Hennessy, Breann Cochran, Isabel Braverman and Amanda Reed. TRR Director of Advertising Barbara Matos managed to secure ringer Lynne Freda (www.fredarealty.com [4]) to join in, and since Dharma the Wonder Dog was assigned the role of "Sandy" the rest of the troupe somehow convinced me to don a ridiculous wig and dress and lip-synch my way through "Tomorrow," as the orphans, Miss Hannigan and Daddy Warbuck$ egged me on singing "It's a Hard Knock Life."
The ladies looked adorable as the waifs, Hennessy had folks rolling in the aisles with her mock-drunken antics, and Amanda Reed (as Daddy Warbuck$) had everyone convinced that she had shaved her head for the show. I looked like a frightening, hopefully hilarious, nightmarish version of the world's most famous orphan, but there is nothing I wouldn't do for my personal hero, Executive Director Alexis Eggleton, who spearheads this amazing event yearly, aided and abetted by a slew of club employees and volunteers who work tirelessly throughout the year to ensure that "the sun will come out tomorrow" for the hundreds of kids that the Boys and Girls Clubs programs support. Master of Ceremonies Greg Goldstein (www.misneragency.com [5]) hilariously hosted once again with his incredible ability to think on his feet, and at the end of the day, more than (drum roll please) a record-breaking $61,000 was raised through the generosity of all who attended, digging deep to tip the entertainers, while enjoying a silent auction, cocktail hour and four-course dinner, all the while being serenaded by the costumed revelers. To view more photos, "like" us at www.Facebook.com/theriverreporter [6].
Exhausted, I grabbed a few hours of sleep and decided to dress like a man for the next fundraiser on my schedule. The Greater Barryville Chamber of Commerce (GBCC) is no stranger to entertaining and did a bang-up job at another sold-out event in Eldred (www.henningslocal.com [7]), raising dollars for the GBCC "Community Service Scholarship, Cul-De-Sac and Streetscape maintenance and assorted Beautification and Charitable projects." Chamber President Ed Gavalla opened the evening, welcoming guests as the talented "Rhythm Express" band played throughout the evening's festivities. A number of awards were presented, including the "Guardian Award" to Sullivan County Historian John Conway and wife Debra, Director of the Fort Delaware Museum of Colonial History. "There's truly something spiritual about the Upper Delaware Valley," Mr. Conway told the audience, "and I get to spend every day with my partner, my muse, my everything," gazing lovingly at his wife as the crowd enthusiastically applauded. Additional awards for "Business of the Year" (River Valley Family Medical) "Volunteer of the Year (Charlene Trotter) and The River Reporter "Readers Choice" honors for "The Best Neighborhood" and "The Best Community Event/Pumpkin Fest" were handed out by yours truly, faithful pup at my side. Saluting the youth of America, more than $2,000 in scholarships was awarded to Eldred High School seniors Brian Jasper, Tim Worzel and Peter Vorstadt, all of whom have plans for higher education in their chosen fields. Following comedian Gavin McInness' riffs on a "citiot's" view of life in the country, silent auction winners were announced, and dancing ensued, proving, once again, that putting the "fun" in fundraisers is the only way to do it. There are plenty more on the horizon to participate in, so I'll take a nap and keep you posted.

YourSQL Database Might Just Be MySQL
I'm not afraid to admit the fact that I am an 80s music fan. A freak. A fanatic. I'm also a programmer, so, as you may surmise, I spend a lot of time in front of my computer listening to, well, 80s music. Do you remember the song by Dire Straits titled "I Want My P-H-P"? Or how about Jimmy Buffett's "Cheeseburger in PHP Paradise"?
OK, maybe I've mixed up my love for music with my other true love, PHP. However, this crush isn't without merit; PHP is one of the sexiest technologies to hit the web, and the recent release of version 4.0 proves that it's getting better with age.
So let me introduce you to PHP, and elaborate upon one of its finest features, database support. Specifically, I will focus on how well it integrates with an open source favorite in the database world: MySQL.
MySQL and PHP have developed a special sort of relationship over the past few years, perhaps due in large part to the fact that they are both freely available for download. The increased popularity of this dynamic duo, coupled with boundless enthusiasm from core developers of both technologies, culminated in a "meeting of the minds" in Israel earlier this year. This resulted in the MySQL library being packaged with the PHP 4.0 distribution, in addition to an agreement to help each other improve the performance quality of product integration whenever the opportunity arises.
PHP 4.0 is perhaps best defined as a server-side web scripting language. It can be integrated directly alongside other web-based languages, such as HTML and WML, enabling the programmer to introduce dynamic content directly to their web applications.
Let's consider a few different ways in which PHP can be displayed within a browser:
Example 1 PHP alone:
<? print "PHP is cool."; ?>
Example 2 PHP embedded in HTML code:
<? print "PHP is"; ?> cool.
Example 3 An even cooler example:
Today's date is: <? print (date ("M d, Y")); ?>
While the ability to easily embed dynamic code into your web application is cool, this is just the beginning of what PHP has to offer. The ability to make mathematical calculations, parse strings, manipulate databases, and do much more via the web browser is easy given the hundreds of predefined PHP functions. PHP 4.0 further expands upon this vast functionality, offering several new features which greatly increase the overall appeal of the language.
It is worth noting that the PHP 4.0 parsing engine is a complete rewrite of its predecessor. Although there are many features of the language worth noting, here are a few of my favorite "standouts" in the new version.
Script interpretation vs. compilation: The incredible popularity of PHP inspired many developers to create large, complex applications using the scripting language, something that was rather unexpected given its humble origins. (Read more about PHP's creator and its history at the Zend Hall of Fame.) Although these attempts were wildly successful, the PHP team knew they could do better.
The main obstacle to overcome was the fact that previous PHP scripts were interpreted line-by-line upon each execution. While this worked just fine for relatively small scripts, it was not the best solution for large and complex scripts, particularly when loops or function calls were involved. As a result, scripts are now entirely compiled before they are executed, eliminating repetitive interpretation and ultimately resulting in substantially faster execution times.
Web server flexibility: PHP had been, quite logically, developed for use in conjunction with the popular Apache web server. However, as time progressed, several other web servers popped up that proved to be quite popular in their own right, such as the Netscape Enterprise server, the Microsoft IIs server, and Zeus. Have no fear, as PHP 4.0 is now compliant to all of these servers, and then some.
Session management: Version 4.0 provides a great new feature that frees the developer from having to create and maintain session IDs. Several protocols are available that eliminate sole reliance on cookies for maintaining session data. For example, if the user turns cookies off, session data can be passed via the URL. Furthermore, session data can be stored via a variety of media, including plaintext files or databases.
Database support: Although there were no huge steps forward in the already marvelous database support in the 4.0 release per se, the packaging of the MySQL Library greatly increased the value of the PHP distribution. Let's discuss the MySQL package in further detail, and highlight PHP/MySQL implementation with a few examples.
MySQL is an extremely fast, robust SQL database server, developed by Michael "Monty" Widenius of T.c.X DataKonsultAB. This database server has gained quite a following in PHP circles, due in large part to the ease with which a MySQL database can be interfaced with the web via PHP's predefined function set. MySQL has been chosen by such companies as Silicon Graphics and the Department of The Navy for internal applications, not to mention being a part of popular web sites such as Yahoo, Slashdot, and Linux.com. Needless to say, organizations such as those mentioned handle colossal amounts of data, lending proof of MySQL's reliability and robustness.
Although a complete summary of MySQL is out of the scope of this particular article, John Paul Ashenfelter's companion piece, YourSQL Database Might Just Be MySQL, offers an insightful introduction to this popular open source database.
At this point, you should be familiar with at least what PHP and MySQL are. Now let's focus our attention on how they interact to build dynamic web applications.
As stated previously, one of the main attractions of PHP is the vast support it provides for various database servers. This convention is certainly the case for the MySQL database server as well, with over thirty predefined functions. Although it is not my intention to cover each function, several of the more applicable scenarios will be covered in detail. Those readers interested in learning more about all of the functions can check out the PHP documentation.
Of course, one of the most important functions is the one that actually opens the connection to the MySQL database server.
mysql_pconnect(host, username, password);
mysql_pconnect() opens a persistent connection to the MySQL server. Essentially, a persistent connection saves valuable system resources, as it will first check to see if a connection already exists. If one does, that connection is used. Otherwise, a new connection is established.
Each of the input parameters is optional and will be supplied in accordance with how MySQL's 'mysql' database has been configured. Essentially, the 'mysql' database controls who can connect to a particular database and from where. For more information about the 'mysql' database, check out the MySQL documentation.
Example 4 Connecting to a mysql database:
$host = "www.oreillynet.com";
$username = "mickey_mouse";
$password = "cheese";
$new_connection = mysql_pconnect
($host, $username, $password);
if (! $new_connection) :
print "Connection failed!";
Of course, you could also open links to several MySQL servers simultaneously. Just assign a different
link_identifier to each connection. (In the above example,
$new_connection is the
Once a database connection has been affirmed, a database must be selected from which queries can be perfomed. This is done, conveniently enough, through a function entitled
mysql_select_db($database_name [, link_identifier]);
link_identifier is only necessary when connections to multiple MySQL servers have been established. Of course, a valid database name must be given.
Example 5 Selecting a database:
// . . . establish MySQL server connection
$database_name = "automobile_specs";
$auto_db = mysql_select_db($database_name);
if (! $auto_db) :
print "Could not select the database $database_name!";
So, we've established a connection to the MySQL server and selected a database to query. Next in line is executing the actual queries that will mine and manipulate the database tables. Let's assume that we have a table within the database
automobile_specs entitled
favorite_cars. The table was created as follows:
mysql>create table favorite_cars
model char(15),
horsepower INT,
color char(6)
This leaves us with three columns of information to manipulate.
All queries are handled via PHP's
mysql_query() function:
mysql_query(query [, link_identifier]);
query parameter specifies the actual query that you would like to perform on the MySQL table. As was the case with previous commands, the
link_identifier is optional, used when there are multiple server connections open.
Let's demonstrate the
mysql_query() function by inserting some data into the
favorite_cars table.
Example 6a Insertion of data:
// . . . establish MySQL server connection
// . . . select database
$table = "favorite_cars";
$query = "insert into $table values
("Ferrari", "155", "red")";
$result = mysql_query($query);
if (! $result) :
print "Could not insert data!";
Whether or not you specify the query statement within a separate variable as I have done is simply a matter of style preference. You could just have easily done the following:
Example 6b Alternative usage of
. . .
$result = mysql_query("insert into $table values
("Ferrari", "155", "red")");
. . .
Just as we have used
mysql_query() to insert data, the same function would be used to mine data from the table.
Example 7 Mining data from a MySQL table:
. . .
$query = "select * from $table where model = "Ferrari"";
$result = mysql_query($query);
. . .
Many of you may be wondering where the data went when we queried the table in the above example. For the sake of simplicity, it is safe to assume that any results are sitting within the variable
$result. However, in order to display the data to the browser screen, we need to employ another MySQL function entitled
mysql_fetch_array(), in addition to making use of some basic PHP programming concepts.
mysql_fetch_array(result [, result_type]);
The result parameter is just the result returned by the
Example 8 Displaying data to the browser:
// . . . establish MySQL server connection
// . . . select database
$query =
"select * from $table where model = "Ferrari"";
$result = mysql_query($query);
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) :
print $row["model"];
print "
";
print $row["horsepower"];
print "
";
print $row["color"];
print "
";
First inserting data into the 'favorite_cars' table as was done in example 6, and then executing example 8, the following would be displayed to the browser:
Ferrari 155 red
Although there are other functions used to facilitate the display of data returned from a query, such as
mysql_result(), I personally find
mysql_fetch_array to be the easiest to use. In terms of performance, both functions are equally fast. Again, it's more a matter of style than anything else.
Well, I'm not sure that I'd go that far, but you can see the advantages of using PHP and MySQL together. They're each powerful in their own right, they're compatible together, and they're open source. They might not be a match made in heaven, but I definitely think we're looking at a long-term relationship here.

Moraine View - State Recreation Area
27374 Moraine View Park Rd.
LeRoy, IL 61752
With fully developed facilities for picnicking, camping, hiking, swimming, fishing, boating, horseback riding and hunting, the 1,687-acre Moraine View State Recreation Area, with its 158-acre lake, is a beautiful, convenient and accessible locale for relaxation and recreation.
When the glaciers of the last Ice Age moved through central Illinois 15,000 years ago, they pushed massive amounts of rock and earth before them, leaving in their wake long and expansive ridges that ripple across the landscape. These irregular crests are called moraines, and on their gentle swells and their broad valleys are scattered groves of white oak, red oak, black walnut, maple, hickory, ash and elm.
One of the four largest of these moraines in Illinois -- the Bloomington Moraine -- stretches across the state from Elgin to the Illinois River at Peoria east to Saybrook. In the middle of this sprawling feature, Moraine View State Recreation Area -- just minutes east of Bloomington/Normal off I-74 -- provides an ideal opportunity to enjoy both the tranquil natural beauty of Midwestern woodland and refreshing outdoor activity.
When early Europeans first arrived in this area, they found the Kickapoo and Potawatomi Indian tribes peacefully sharing the countryside. Following the War of 1812, the tribes signed a treaty with the Europeans enabling them to continue to live on the land and take game until white settlers moved in. In 1830 there were 630 Kickapoo living in a village in "Old Town Timber" south of Ellsworth.
The scattered groves of timber along the streams provided these early settlers with shelter from the bitter winds of winter, building materials, fuel and shade. The wet, sometimes marshy, prairie lands, though tough and difficult to turn with their primitive implements, were gradually drained or cleared, and small farms sprang up everywhere, taking advantage of the rich fertile soils left by the glacial retreat.
By the middle of the 20th century, it became apparent that the heavily farmed countryside -- situated as it was in an area whose topography and terrain precluded many good lake sites -- would require artificial manipulation to provide and maintain a water-based recreation area for it's steadily increasing population.
In 1957, preliminary surveys were made, and in 1959 the State of Illinois purchased 760 acres in Dawson Township. Clearing contracts were awarded in 1960, and by July of 1962 construction had begun on a dam on the North Fork tributary of Salt Creek between U.S.150 and Illinois Route 9. The resulting lake, called Dawson Lake after the families of early settlers, was opened for fishing in 1963.
Originally known as the McLean County Conservation Area, additional acquisitions have expanded the area to its present 1,687 acres, and in 1975 it was designated as Moraine View State Recreation Area. Development of full recreational facilities has since made this one of the state's sterling examples of how economic and social necessity also can provide opportunities for conservation and recreation.
For the day visitor, there is ample parking throughout the area and eight picnic areas in shaded spots, with tables and fireplaces. In addition there are five picnic shelters, three available for reservations and two for first-come, first-serve use. There are four playground areas for the kids.
For longer stays, there are 137 Class A trailer campsites with water, electricity and a sanitary station. Sixty-one sites can now be reserved in Gander Bay campground. A boat launch and dock is also situated in this area. Alcohol is prohibited in all campgrounds. Reservations are accepted.
Catfish Bay camp area and Tall Timber backpack trail provide 32 primitive class D sites. Ol' Orchard group camp has two sites able to accommodate 125 people. Timber Ridge group camp has 3 sites. Timberline Ridge horse camp has 30 Class "A" campsites complete with water, electricity, and hitching racks.
A concession stand, located near
the boat dock and launch, offers dock and boat rental, fishing tackle, bait,
refreshments and various supplies. A restaurant, seating 60, serves breakfast
and lunch daily. For information, call (309) 724-8295.
The lake is regularly stocked with largemouth bass, bluegill, sunfish, bullhead, crappie, channel catfish, walleye, yellow perch and northern pike. Whether from the five miles of shoreline or off the handicapped-accessible fishing pier, the angling is always good.
Drifting and bobbing on the glittering expanse of Dawson Lake is one of the site's most popular activities, whether aboard a sailboat or in a motorcraft of 10 horsepower or less. Presently, an idle-speed/no-wake speed limit exists for boat motors over 10 horsepower. There is a two-lane launching ramp and docking facility and boat rentals are available at the concession stand.
The Black Locust picnic area includes a public, sandy beach where swimming is permitted from Memorial Day to Labor Day. No alcohol or pets are allowed on the beach, and swimmers are to remain in the buoyed area. There are no lifeguards. Enjoy yourself, but please be careful.
For invigorating exploration, Moraine View contains a variety of opportunities. The half-mile Tanglewood Self-Guiding Nature Trail winds around the lake finger in a wooded area and will take you within sight of a thriving beaver dam and lodge. Tall Timber Trail, a 1.5-mile backpack and hiking trail over moderate terrain, also provides sites for primitive camping along its course. The Timber Point Handicapped Trail is a half-mile long opportunity for the disabled visitor to enjoy the pleasures of the woods as well.
More than 10 miles of bridle paths on Timberline Ridge Trail wind through most of the area. There is an equestrian campground available and horses also are available at the stables for group trail rides.
When the season brings sufficient snow, 7 miles of trails are open for cross-country skiing, and the field trial trails accommodate the higher horsepower of snowmobiles. Ice fishing and ice skating are available when the ice is thick enough.
Thirteen hundred acres of this are open to public hunting in season. Moraine View is one of eight sites in Illinois which has nine weeks of controlled pheasant hunting. Please consult the park office for specific information concerning hunting and opening dates for various species.
From I 74, Exit #149 at LeRoy. Follow signs into LeRoy. Turn left on US 150 to Casey General Store. Turn Right on LeRoy-Lexington blacktop (County Hwy. 21). North to sign (Moraine View State Park), next Right. Follow road into park, past main entrance to flagpole.

Cancer Concerns
By Health Day
The September 11th attack at New York's World Trade Center took the lives of more than 27-hundred people. More than a decade later, the lingering health effects of the rescue and cleanup are being monitored.
Workers on the site, and people living near it were exposed to dust, debris and fumes some of it contained known and suspected cancer-causing agents.
In a new study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, researchers looked at data from nearly 56-thousand New Yorkers enrolled in the World Trade Center Health Registry.
A total of 1,187 cancer cases were diagnosed among the enrollees through 2008.
While an overall increase in cancer was not found when compared to all New York state residents...researchers discovered an excess risk for 3 specific types of disease among rescue and recovery workers in 2007-2008
Only in the rescue recovery workers we found a significantly increased rate of three types of cancer, prostate cancer, thyroid cancer and a blood cancer called multiple myeloma.
Researchers say it is still not clear whether other factors contributed to these increases. They say longer follow-up is needed. I'm Dr. Cindy Haines of Healthday tv. With the news that can keep you and your loved ones safe, healthy and happy.

3-Dimensional Tissue Construct Assays for Ocular Irritation: EpiOcular and HCE
3-D human tissue constructs, such as the EpiOcular (MatTek) and SkinEthic (EpiSkin), are organotypic in vitro reconstructed human cornea-like epithelium (RhCE) models used to evaluate the potential ocular irritation of test material. Viability of the EpiOcular or HCE tissues is determined using the vital dye MTT (3-(4,5-Dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide). The reduction of MTT in treated cultures is expressed as a percentage relative to negative control cultures.
In vitro RhCE models, such as the EpiOcular and HCE are made from human-derived cells, which are cultured on specially designed cell culture inserts. The cells differentiate to form a multi-layered structure which closely models the corneal epithelium (see picture below).
MTT, a vital dye, is actively taken up by the EpiOcular or HCE tissues and subsequently reduced in the mitochondria of living cells. This chemical reaction produces a purple-colored formazan within the cells, causing the live tissues to turn deep purple in color. The colored dye can be extracted from the cells and the absorbance read spectrophotometrically. For specific assay procedures, please see Step-by-Step.
Assay Design: Quick Facts
Assay Models: EpiOcular (Mattek) and SkinEthic HCE (EpiSkin) organotypic 3-D tissue constructs
Endpoint: ET50 (or t50) (the exposure time that induces a 50% reduction in viability, relative to negative controls)
Eye Irritation Test (EIT) using EpiOcular RhCE model to identify chemicals not requiring classification and labeling for eye irritation damage

Too busy for basement research: The bustling creative life of Langston Hughes
Post by Bridget Gibbons ('13), student worker in Special Collections.
This entry is part of our monthly series to highlight entries from the 20,000 letter Charles Roberts Autograph Letter Collection.
Langston Hughes was a busy man when he amiably corresponded with a biographer/ journalist on May 20, 1956. The American-born jazz poet and face of the Harlem Renaissance was unable to give the time to search for a copy of his piece Waldorf Astoria because he was "so rushed with a new book, A Pictorial History of the Negro, that I just don't have a spare moment for basement research."
Hughes describes his current work and notes that some of his blues poems are being set to music, including Love is Like Whisky and Cool Saturday Night, and the most recent, Lonely House from "Street Scene" in the June Christy album, Something Cool. He comments on his own moving picture which he wrote in 1939 with Clarence Muse, Way Down South, "it is still shown sometimes on TV—to my horror!" Additionally, his play, Emperor of Haiti was produced by Elsie Roxborough, and in his letter he denies speculation that he and Elsie were engaged to be married.
The interviewer wanted to get his hands on Hughes' stark poem, Waldorf Astoria for good reason. In it he grazes his famous themes of racial and socioeconomic equality, especially in New York City. He challengingly contrasts the luxurious hotel which opened for the social elite during the Great Depression with the lifestyles of the urban poor and in doing so, gives, as he always does, a voice to the oppressed:
Have luncheon there this afternoon, all you jobless.
Why not?
Dine with some of the men and women who got rich off of
your labor, who clip coupons with clean white fingers
because your hands dug coal, drilled stone, sewed gar-
ments, poured steel to let other people draw dividends
and live easy.
(Or haven't you had enough yet of the soup-lines and the bit-
ter bread of charity?)
Walk through Peacock Alley tonight before dinner, and get
warm, anyway. You've got nothing else to do.

Body found inside fire-ravaged home likely a young woman, police say
Mount Pleasant fire death now considered homicide
Police said a person who was discovered dead after a house fire in Mount Pleasant was intentionally killed.
The Journal Times reported police believe the fire discovered early Tuesday was set by someone who knew the victim.
Mount Pleasant Police Chief Tim Zarzecki said investigators believe the body belonged to a young woman, but are waiting for confirmation from the Racine County Medical Examiner's Office.
He said investigators are also trying to determine whether she was killed as a result of the fire or died before the fire.
Zarzecki said the victim was staying at the residence temporarily but not living there. Neighbors told authorities the people who had been occupying the residence moved to Texas.

SANTA FE, N.M. (AP) — State officials say New Mexico students have improved their performance in math, reading and science during the past six years, but about three-fourths of schools missed this year's goals for boosting student achievement.
Grady, Logan, Melrose, San Jon and Texico schools did meet AYP status, state officials said.
Clovis, Portales, Tucumcari, Dora, Floyd, Fort Sumner and House were among schools that did not meet AYP status.

A RSPB project in collaboration with Amgueddfa Cymru — National Museum Wales
The adult Peregrines, named Gavin and Stacey by a local school, first nested on the clock tower in 2007, after chasing off a pair of Ravens and taking their nest.
Breeding success has been mixed over the years. Let's hope they are successful again this year.
The RSPB will be running occasional weekend events during the late spring and summer in Gorsedd Gardens where telescopes will be available to get a closer view. In the mean time keep a check on the Peregrine Cam to follow their progress.

Tag: Warren BUffett's NCAA bet
March Madness contest odds were seriously in Warren Buffett's favor
- 7:38 pm Monday, April 7th, 2014 by Dian Vujovich
Well, tonight's the big game and odds are 50/50 that one of the two teams playing -The UConn Huskies or Kentucky Wildcats–will become the 2014 NCAAs men's basketball tournament champion. Odds like that make sense unlike the are-you-kidding-me ones Warren Buffett threw out earlier this year.
When I first heard about the $1 billion prize offered by Buffett and his buddies from Quicken Loan to anyone correctly predicting the winner of each game in the NCAAs men's basketball tournament, I thought it was a joke. Buffett wasn't that kind of gambling guy was he?
I mean, here's a guy that's been presented to [More]

New BSC Education Faculty Member -- Dr Patricia Hilton
Dr. Patricia Hilton compares her arrival at Bluefield State College to "returning home." The former West Virginia Tech faculty member joined the BSC teacher education faculty at the start of the Fall 1997 semester. A graduate of Kent State University, Hilton received her master's degree and Ph.D. from the University of Akron. She taught at Alice Lloyd (KY) College, West Virginia Tech, and the University of Houston before returning to the Mountain State this year. "My experience with students at West Virginia Tech was a very positive one," she noted. "Students at Tech and at Bluefield State College have a wonderful desire to learn. They're very receptive." Hilton teaches Fall semester courses involving foundations of education, psychology of learning, reading & language arts for the elementary school teacher, and content reading. "There has always been a need for excellent, well-trained teachers," she observed, noting that a "baby boom echo," during which the children of baby boomers are expected to establish families in the near future, should increase the demand for qualified, motivated teachers in the near future. With 20 years' teaching experience, Hilton finds personal and professional fulfillment in her career. "Teaching is fun," she said. "The teacher must have a passion for learning--it's a lifelong learning process. It is very rewarding to have a positive influence on the lives of students." "We have an excellent teacher education program at Bluefield State College," she added. "I'm honored to be a part of it."

I would like to see McFlurry traded first....then Crawford....then Ransoft
I did not want to make another poll.
I am making this thread before the Knicks get their draft pick, to see if Donnie Walsh really interviewed the players and this Knick situation he became President of. Do he see it as clear as us Knick Fans?
I know what players should'nt be back next season, but I dont have much confidence in Donnie Walsh in moving any of these Knick players overpaid contracts that really need to be removed from this roster. That is the main reason why he hired coach D'Antoni, to improve these bum players offensive talent so they can be traded in the future (next offseason).
All six of the Knicks young players are easy to trade (Lee, Nate, Balkman, Collins, Chandler, and Morris), and anyone who evaluate any of the Knicks young players on the last remaining games of the season will be fooled at how talented this bunch of players really are. They all know that they are the compensation player to be traded alongside of the Knicks overpaid bum players.
Marbury & Malik Rose ending contracts are very valuable in the trade market this offseason and the trading deadline. So you dont have to be a genious to trade these two players or the six young players.
Now if Donnie Walsh is really worthy of this Knick President Job than lets see how many of the six overpaid bum players on the roster he can trade this offseason. Starting with Jerome James, Zach, Q.Richardson, Jefferies, Crawford, and Curry...
I would like to see McFlurry traded first....then Crawford....then Ransoft
Steph of course.
I think it all depends on the draft.
These next 2 seasons are not about winning a title, its about getting enough money to have during the summer of 2010 and obtaining good guys that get fans to forget everything about this team.
With that said, only Lee and Nate are the ones I think are in the longterm plans of this team.
i'd lik to buy out jjames first.
jarad j might have some value at the trade deadline if he plays well early in the season so i would hang on to him.
keep crawford,nate,zach,chandler,balkman,lee,steph,(ros e udersize pf- dantonio can use him and he plays d)
bye bye, morris we can get a big guy in the draft to do what he can do
see ya curry
I don't know what you guys are talking about.. Jamal Crawford is perfect for D'Antoni.. Nate Robinson is too, and Q-Rich. Randolph should leave first.. and Jerome James should be bought out.. Maybe sign Demetris Nichols, and definitely sign Allan Houston!! and Patrick Ewing NEEDS TO BE AN ASSISTANT! Ewing could help Curry.. He helped Howard for the Magic. Mark Jackson should be an executive.. That way if D'Antoni doesn't work out (I doubt the best coach alive could do that) Jackson or Ewing could replace. Draft O.J. Mayo.. hes a talented fast guy. Or Rose because he could be point guard that way Crawford could be shooting guard and get more points. There could be a downside to drafting Mayo though.. If LeBron really does come to NYK, Mayo wouldn't work good with LeBron. Whatever happens it doesn't matter because Isiah is OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The Knicks been lacking a decent SG since Allan Houston went down, and Crawford dribble to much to be a SG, plus he dribble to much in a halfcourt offense to be a PG.
Isiah offensive plan for the last two seasons took away the use of having a pass-first PG. This should've been notice at the end of the 2007 season when PG-Mardy Collins took over and had teammates slash to the basket or have to be moving to get his passes.
This is the reason why announcer Clyde Frazier wanted to train Mardy Collins because the potential and skillz are there but the guidance on this Knick team is not.
Having Marbury & Crawford whom 80% of their passes are to non moving teammates.
Or the blame could also go to non moving teammates that always want to postup for a pass like Curry, Zach, and Q.Rich.
The Knicks two year offensive-plan used by coach Isiah Thomas is just the oposite of coach D'Antoni offensive plan used in Phoenix. Players like Ariza & Frye would fit well in D'Antoni offensive scheme but they are with the next team.
Drafting 6.5 SG-Mayo, and giving 6.8 SG-Demetris Nichols another shot at making the Knicks would go great inside of D'Antoni offensive scheme.
We all should realize by now that players Lee, Nate, Balkman, Chandler, Collins, and Morris will work hard to fit into D'Antoni system especially if D'Antoni could get the guidance of two of his assistant coaches in Phoenix which is under contract to come to the Knicks and help these young players get their groove in an uptempo running game and practice regularly on their peremeter shooting.
This would be a great start for D'Antoni to form his Knick Format.
To bad it wont happen because of overpaid players like James, Curry, Zach, Malik, Jefferies, Q.Rich, Crawford, and Marbury, all making franchise players cash which Knick Brass want to earn their keep with playingtime.
How well will Crawford & Marbury fit into an uptempo system which require having a decent passing game to moving teammates is questioning?
Will Curry or Zach or James slow down the uptempo system like Shaq did when he first arrived in Phoenix? YES! without a doubt.
Q.Richardson best performance in the NBA was under coach D'Antoni, and he had him traded because of his laziness on offense/defense, pulling up for a jumpshot when he had an easy fastbreak layup. Plus being useless in all of the Postseason games. Phoenix gave us their first round draft pick (Nate Robinson) to take Q.Rich contract off their hands after just one season performance.

I dont really care if we lose Randolph Morris. He belongs in the D-League anyways. He'll be lucky if he becomes a serviceable backup. Hes not even worthy of garbage minutes. I would take Dimitris Nichols over him.
The #1 person the Knicks must get rid of is Eddy Curry. He is one of the biggest liabilities on the team, due to his inability to play defense, rebound, pass, shoot jump shots, shoot free throws, or stay in shape, despite a 55 million dollar contact. There are several other players on the Knicks that have to go, but I put Curry on the top of the list.
Other players that have to go include:
Quentin Richardson, Jared Jeffries, Jerome James, and Mardy Collins
Jeremon Linbury
Agreed, Jefferies, Randolph, Morris, should go.. But I'll give Curry, Marbury, Richardson, and Crawford 1 more season. Who knows... Maybe Marubry will do great. I'm 99% sure Daivd Lee will have his best season.. I'm guessing 14 points a game. Maybe they will get rid of Curry or Randolph to make room for Lee to start. Richardson is a great shooter when healthy. Also since joining the Knicks he has improved on defense. Jefferies flat out suck.. Balkmen too. Morris is horrible.

Has Gerald Green signed with anyone? Someday he will learn the game. Great athlete.
I dont want to see Curry and Jeffries back next season. Curry is just plain lazy on defense. He dont show much on offense. He's just useless. Donnie Walsh should just trade him for a better center who does everything he doesn't.
Jeffries is not really need on the team. He was just another player on the list of screw ups Isiah put on this team. Donnie has a lot of undoing to do

Oh, Cliff!
Cliff Floyd's out of the lineup suddenly tonight with more Achilles soreness.
If Cliff misses the post-season, I will be broken hearted. He's been with the team through some lean times. If anyone deserves to play–and hopefully shine–this post-season, it's my beloved Cliffy.
Three years ago, the last time Cliff had an Achilles problem (in his other heel), he played through it, putting off surgery until after the season. Just goes to show you that age is a b*tch.
On another note, at the risk of jinxing this series, remember when I was nervous about Atlanta? Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
Oh, Cliff. Please get better and mend this girl's broken heart!
(But yay that Carlos Beltran seems to be okay!)
3 Comments
I hope he gets better. You can see how he wants to be there for the team.
Did you hear about his sister death? So sad also. This happened at the end of August. She was battling breast and brain cancer @ 21.
Praying for strenght for him and his family.
See you later Z
whether it's his last hurrah or not, i have a feeling cliff will be on the post-season roster come h*ll or high water. And I'm willing to bet he's got a big hit or two left in that bat as well …

The best people on Earth: Bravery and beauty in Iraq
World Refugee Day remembers those who have been forcibly displaced from their homes. Their number is staggering: almost 60 million. Today, one in every 122 people is a refugee, internally displaced, or seeking asylum.
But these people are more than just numbers. They are some of the most incredible people on earth, as World Vision writer Kari Costanza found in Iraq.
