Leona HelmsleyBusiness Personality / Convict
Born: 1920
Died: 20 August 2007
Birthplace: New York City, New York
Best known as: The hotelier called the "Queen of Mean"
The wife and heir of New York real estate tycoon Harry Helmsley (1909-1997), Leona Helmsley made national news in 1989 when she was sentenced to 18 months in prison for mail fraud and tax evasion. Helmsley's real estate firms owned posh hotels and prime real estate in New York City (including the lease on the Empire State Building), and Leona Helmsley for many years made the annual Forbes list of the richest Americans. But her imperious manner, and rumors of mistreatment of employees, earned her the tabloid title of "the Queen of Mean." Helmsley's apparent lack of contrition was summed up in a quote attributed to her by a former housekeeper: "We don't pay taxes. Only the little people pay taxes." In 2002 she was sued by Charles Bell, a former employee who claimed he was fired by Helmsley because he was homosexual. (The jury originally awarded Bell $11.7 million, but a judge reduced the award in March 2003 to $554,000.) Leona Helmsley made more news after her death, when her lawyer announced that her will included a $12 million trust fund for her beloved white Maltese dog, Trouble. A judge reduced that award to $2 million, and Trouble lived well until his death in December of 2010.

A 1990 TV movie, Leona Helmsley: The Queen of Mean starred Suzanne Pleshette as Helmsley… Leona Helmsley had a long-running public feud with New York real estate tycoon Donald Trump.

Elizabeth Stanley, one of our favorite Broadway leading ladies, sang a sexy and surprising "Hound Dog." The Copa Boys, currently performing at Irridium, brought Rat Pack realness and tuxedoed elegance and fun to the stage. There was a wealth of very young talent, as Feinstein-winners Nick Ziobro and Tony Ponella crooned and jazz violinist Jonathan Russell thrilled. Favorite cabaret gal KT Sullivan reminisced with a Weimar ditty, and T. Oliver Reid showed off his spectacular vocals with style and aplomb.
The Cast Party Symphony Orchestra (Tedd Firth, Steve Doyle and Daniel Glass) kept the music sublime, and the fun went on into the wee hours! Jim Caruso's Cast Party takes place every Monday night at 9:30 at Birdland (315 West 44 Street) in NYC.

Global expert on asset management to speak at Northern Finance Association conference, hosted by Laurier
Communications, Public Affairs & Marketing
Sep 13/12| For Immediate Release
Madhu Kalimipalli, Associate Professor & Director,
Kevin Crowley, Director, Communications & Public Affairs
Waterloo Noted finance scholar Andrew Karolyi of Cornell University will deliver the keynote address at the 24th annual Northern Finance Association (NFA) conference, hosted by Wilfrid Laurier University.
The event is a premier North American finance conference, with participation from major academics and practitioners from top universities and institutions around the world. It is the only annual Canadian academic finance conference with a history of over 20 years. The conference will take place in Niagara Falls, Ontario, from Sept. 28 to 30, 2012, and is being co-organized by three Finance professors in Lauriers School of Business & Economics: Brian Smith, Madhu Kalimpalli and Phelim Boyle.
In the wake of the global financial crisis, the issues that will be discussed at this conference have an enormous bearing on the health of our societies and the lives of their citizens, said Smith. This is a chance for scholars to share ideas on some of the most pressing financial challenges facing the world today.
Topics under discussion include the global financial crisis, executive compensation, corporate governance, derivatives and credit risk, and other crucial issues related to the functioning of the global economy. Scholars presenting at the event represent leading national and international bodies such as the Bank of Canada, the U.S. Federal Reserve, Oxford University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
Nearly half of all our participants this year are from outside Canada, said Kalimpalli. Its a truly international conference, and one of the most prestigious events of its kind in North America.
Keynote speaker Andrew Karolyi, who is alumni professor of asset management and professor of Finance at Cornell, is an internationally renowned scholar in the area of investment management, with a specialization in the study of international financial markets. His research has been covered extensively in print and electronic media, including The Wall Street Journal, The Economist, The New York Times, CNBC and many others.
Karolyi, who holds a PhD from the Graduate School of Business at the University of Chicago, also currently serves as editor of the Review of Financial Studies, one of the top international journals in finance.
The Bank of Canada is the lead sponsor of this years conference, and Laurier is providing funds that will be used to enhance opportunities for graduate student participation. Approximately 50 per cent of participants this year are from Canada, 40 per cent are from the United States, and about 10 per cent from other nations in Europe, Asia and elsewhere. This years event was the most selective in the NFAs history, with approximately one in four submitted papers accepted.
The event takes place at the Marriott Gateway on the Falls hotel. For more information, visit the conferences web site at http://northernfinance2012.org.

This isn't news, as such, but a great post at the Leaky B@@b about how you're still a breastfeeding mom whether or not you make all those other parenting choices that people associate with breastfeeding. You may find it very refreshing if you're one who doesn't feel like she quite fits in with either the "crunchy" moms or the "mainstream" moms.
Read the rest.Recently I've seen conversations that almost assume that everyone that breastfeeds is on the same page regarding every parenting choice. Like we're a club that talks, walks, dresses, eats and sleeps the same. But we're not. The mom across the street from me breastfed her son for close to a year, pumping for him when she returned to work. Unlike me she lets her son eat prepackaged food daily, have character toys and clothing and she has him fully vaccinated. Like me, she does curbside recycling. Also like me? She loves her child more than she could begin to articulate. I admire her, she's an awesome mom and I've learned a lot from her and I hope maybe she's learned some things from me.

TMT exits at Credit Suisse and Goldman Sachs
Investment banks on both sides of the Atlantic have parted ways with senior bankers covering the lucrative market for technology, media and telecoms deals.
The head of media investment banking for Credit Suisse in Europe, the Middle East and Africa has left the bank, at a time when global deal value in the media sector is at its highest since 2000.
Alastair Blackman left the bank this month. He joined Credit Suisse from Deutsche Bank in 2005 and is now returning to the German bank as head of media in Emea, according to an internal Deutsche Bank memo seen by Financial News. Blackman will report to TMT heads Gavin Deane in London and Chris Colpitts in San Francisco.
It is not known whether the Swiss bank will appoint a replacement to run the media team, which finished 2013 in third position in Dealogic's European media M&A rankings, but which lies outside the top 10 for the year-to-date.
At Credit Suisse, Blackman was responsible for overall coverage of the media sector, including broadcasting, content, directories, newspapers and consumer magazines.
During his time at the bank he worked on deals including the $4.4 billion acquisition of Springer Science and Business Media by BC Partners last year and the merger of Orbit Communications and Showtime Arabia to create OSN in 2009, according to the memo.
Meanwhile, The Wall Street Journal reports that Anthony Noto, global co-head of Goldman Sachs's technology, media and telecoms group, is to join $9 billion New York hedge fund Coatue Management. Noto was one of the investment bankers who worked on the 2013 IPO of Twitter. His co-head Dan Dees will now assume sole leadership of the TMT team at Goldman Sachs.
Global media deal value has reached $116 billion for the year-to-date, according to Dealogic, its highest value for the period since 2000. The biggest deals announced in the sector this year include Time Warner's proposed $45 billion tie-up with Comcast and Liberty Global's €6.9 billion acquisition of Dutch cable operator Ziggo.
Investment banks are scrambling to take advantage of the long-awaited recovery of the M&A market, with a flurry of deals last month taking global deal value past the $1 trillion mark faster than at any time since 2007.
• Separately, Stefanos Papapanagiotou, a Credit Suisse managing director who led Greece and Cyprus investment banking, has joined Swiss rival UBS, according to an internal UBS memo seen by Financial News. He will be head of corporate client solutions for Greece and Cyprus at UBS and report to William Vereker, head of corporate client solutions in Emea.
Papapanagiotou spent nine years at Credit Suisse, where he worked on the premium listing of Coca Cola Hellenic Bottling Company on the London Stock Exchange in 2013 and the sale of a stake in Hellenic Telecommunications to Deutsche Telekom in 2008, according to investor relations services provider Capital Link.

Common Reading Program celebrates the winners of inaugural writing contest
Communications, Public Affairs & Marketing
Nov 14/13
This summer, Laurier's Common Reading Program invited all first-year students entering the Faculty of Arts to share the experience of reading Indian Horse, a novel by Richard Wagamese. Each student received a free copy of the book in the summer, and when they arrived at Laurier in the fall, they had a chance to discuss Indian Horse with their peers and participate in various orientation events focused on the book.
In addition to reading Indian Horse, students were also invited to participate in a writing contest in which they were asked to write a 250-word response to the question: "Indian Horse tells the story of how Saul used means both beneficial and hurtful to himself to cope with life's difficulties. What do you find helpful when you can't rely on family?
We are so pleased with the extensive community involvement in the Common Reading Program writing contest, which included the Office of Aboriginal Initiatives and the Aboriginal Student House, diverse faculty members, senior students, as well as local secondary schools, said Ute Lischke, chair of English and Film Studies. This initiative was aimed at incoming students in order to acculturate them to university life, and I feel we were able to accomplish this.
A panel of three, which consisted of a faculty member in English, a staff member, and a student, judged the contest. Winners of this years contest include:
- First place: Janet Kwon - "What's the Limit?"
- Second place: Marissa Evans - "Weighting for Air"
- Third place: Patrick Enright - "Enduring the Abyss: A Guide to Surviving a Motherless, Brotherless, and Potentially Meaningless Existence"
Honourable mentions were also given to Aamna Qureshi for "The Great Escape" and Scott Cooke for "Closing the Distance through Memories."
All students and members of the Laurier community are invited to attend an awards ceremony to recognize the winners and entrants in the writing contest on Friday, Nov. 15 at 1 p.m. in the Laurier Library on Lauriers Waterloo campus.
For more information on all winning entries visit the Common Reading Program web page.

But to be honest, there really aren't many birds that are truly purple. Purple Martins are more of a dark indigo. Purple Finches are actually are a reddish raspberry color. These are pretty colors too, but where is that gorgeous, heart-stopping royal purple?
The only local bird that has that special purple is the Black-chinned Hummingbird. Just below the black feathers on the chin of the bird is a band of exquisite purple. It is actually an iridescent patch of color. This means you can only see it when the light hits it just right. It has the effect of flashing on and off as the bird moves, and the angle changes.
When you think about what makes colors, you rapidly get caught up in a complex world of physics. Red objects reflect the longer "red" wavelengths of light but absorb other colors. In other words, we see the object as having a red color.
Purple is on the other end of the spectrum and has shorter wavelengths than any other visible color. Purple objects reflect these short wavelengths and absorb the other colors. We see purple.
Reflected colors like this result from colored pigments in the objects we are viewing. So, the red color in Northern Cardinals derives from actual colored pigments in their feathers. When white light shines on a male cardinal, it will reflect red to us. The color looks the same from any angle.
But this is not how hummingbird feathers get their color!
Hummingbirds have iridescent feathers, especially on their throats and heads. Iridescence is defined as a "play of colors producing a rainbow effect (as in a soap bubble)…that changes as the angle of view changes." We can see the same rainbow effect on the bottom side of a CD or in a thin slick of oil on water. Sir Isaac Newton, in his treatise on optics in 1704, suggested that iridescent colors in birds and insects might be due to the presence of thin films on their surfaces.
But what causes iridescence? Some definitions attribute it to "differential refraction" (say what?). Others claim it is due to interference and scattering. Needless to say, you need a pretty good understanding of physics to know what this means.
Not really having a brain for physics, I asked my own personal physicist (my husband) to explain it to me. What he said is a little too complicated for this format, but if you want an in-depth explanation, read the online version of this week's column at www.coastalbendnaturalist.com.
In any case, it is now well accepted that the color in iridescent feathers is due to the interference phenomenon. Some very small physical structures on the surface of the smallest branches of a feather give rise to the color we see by interfering with the wavelengths of light.
These structures are indeed tiny. Microscope examination of the surface of the feather barb has revealed that it is made up of a mosaic of "platelets" that resembles a tiled floor. Each platelet is so small that it would take 10,000 of them end to end to make an inch. And each tiny platelet has a hollow center filled with air. Depending on the thickness of the walls and the amount of air inside, the light waves are interfered with, and a specific color is produced.
In addition, the "tiled floor" is only one of many layers. The layers work together to concentrate some colors and destroy others. This amazingly complex "periodic nanostructure" is what produces that flash of purple on the throat of a Black-chinned Hummingbird. A slight variation in the nanostructure results in the bright red of a Ruby-throated Hummingbird. Another arrangement of the nanostructure gives the bright iridescent green of a Buff-bellied hummer's throat.
This whole business of structural color blows me away! It is just amazing to me that such complexity evolved, all to provide a bright flash of purple on a tiny bird.
Which brings us to the question, why did iridescence evolve anyway? Many birds display varying degrees of iridescence. Insects, especially butterflies, have it. Fish and marine creatures flash iridescent colors. There have even been recent discoveries of iridescence in plants!
It seems that in all cases, this kind of coloring produces a kind of communication between these organisms. What messages are they sending? It is a whole new field of scientific study. Doucet and Meadows, in their 2009 paper in the Journal of the Royal Society, state that "despite the vast amount of recent work on animal iridescence, our review reveals … an area ripe for investigation."
Isn't this exciting? There is so much to learn about in our world.

VIDEO: Tina Martin on the deciding defensive change (Elena Delle Donne shoots over West Virginia forward Averee Fields. (AP Photo/Patrick Semansky)Elena Delle Donne scored 33 points as No. 6 Delaware rallied from a seven point halftime deficit to defeat No. 11 West Virgina 66-53 in the NCAA Women's Basketball 1st Round Sunday afternoon at the Bob.
West Virginia ended the first half with a 5-0 run in the final minute to lead on a Taylor Palmer three-pointer and Linda Stepney drive to the basket to lead 33-26, but then things changed.
The Blue Hens made a defensive switch going from their usual man-to-man into a zone defense, with Kelsey Buchanan joining Elena Delle Donne and Danielle Parker on the back line. That move stymied the Mountaineers, as Delaware held WVU scoreless over the first 6:45 of the second half, while eventually going on a 25-9 run to jump ahead by as many as 9 at 51-42.
West Virginia twice cut it to 6, the second time at 54-48 with 3:47 left, but then a 10-3 Delaware run, including six of six made free throws, helped keep the Mountaineers away.
Delle Donne had a memorable start to her final NCAA Tournament, as she passed the 1,000 career rebound and made field goal marks in a 10-for-24 effort where she went 12 of 13 at the line.
The other Delaware forwards also starred, with Kelsey Buchanan playing a season high 31 minutes and responding with a career-high 10 points and 5 rebounds, and Parker grabbing a game-high 11 rebounds while hitting three critical baseline jumpers on offense.
Delaware gave the sellout crowd a jump right out of the gate, with West Virginia transfer Akeema Richards scoring five seconds into the game to give Delaware the 2-0 jump.
After leading 4-2 and 6-4, West Virginia steadily took control of the first half, using 9 offensive rebounds to boost their cause, but they could not sustain it.
Delaware will take on No. 3 North Carolina at 7pm for the right to advance to the Bridgeport Regional. The Tar Heels rallied for a 59-54 victory over No. 14 Albany in the second game of Sunday's doubleheader.

If you are taking lactolase for cirrhosis and hepatic encephalopaythy, please ignore the person who said the body will heal itself. Those of us with this condition DO have to listen to our doctors if we hope to live. Like one commenter, I'm hoping they come up with an alternative in the future because I suffer from the bloating, pain that literally extends my abdomen twice its size from morning to night. It's horrible, but the alternative is that ammonia builds up, moves to the brain and impacts cognitive functions, balance, etc. Some of this can be permanent. I suffered a bout of this just 4 months ago, and now do not hate Lactulose quite as much. To the person who is frustrated with the unexpected, forceful bowel movements, I had that too, for months, but my system seems to have adapted. I hope yours will, too. I want to live, too! And for those not just taking it for constipation, this is our best hope for now. Stay strong everyone!
You poor thing. I hate that a doctor can tell you something like that! Please research Donna Gates book and videos about the Body Ecology diet. You don't fix digestion issues with medicine. The body will heal itself if given the correct nutrition. This is not some diet you have done before. If you are not eating cultured veggies with each meal then you are not providing the correct environment for your gut flora. Don't ever give up trying to heal yourself. If you are looking to heal your digestive system, I know you can!
I know this liver stuff is Scarry I almost died but god gave me another chance to live. Never give up god will heal you and give you comfort. So what the lactalose sucks its what we gotta do personally I believe I will Be off this stuff someday and I pray for all who have gone down this ugly road just remember there is hope in Jesus Christ!!
It works but the doc says I have to take it for the rest of my life. Im45 god willing another 45... God bless you all!!!
It works but the doc says I have to take it for the rest of my life. Im45 god willing another 45... God bless you all!!!
I know its necessary to take but it has made me miserable. it tastes horrible and the diarrhea is very unpredictable so I don't even go to the store anymore for fear of not making it to the bathroom in time. I also have experienced terrible gas. especially at night and it tends to produce a lot of gas in my stomach which causes a lot of pain and keeps me awake all night.
This medicine taste really nasty. When it does kick in, you must hurry to the bathroom, if you can make it there on time. I had it hit me really quick & the bowel movement kicked in & I got it all over my grandson's bedroom. My diarhhea happened 6 times yesterday & 4 times today I also took when I was in the hospital the last 3 days. If it's not diarhhea, it comes out as flatulence like crazy. I feel confined to my apt. which makes my life even more miserable! I hope I only have to take it for another month or so.
Too early to make a good assessment. Started medicine 3 days ago. I realize I wasn't drinking enough water. Not drinking proper amounts of water cause severe heart burn, excruciating abdominal pain, belching, bloating and nausea. I also accompanied lactulose with stool softner - all the more reason to drink lots of water. Warm water particularly help after 3 night of pain. I will ask Pharmacist for measuring device because I've been taking 2 Tablespoons nightly as prescribed by my doctor. I am now hoping to feel better and get better results. By the way, I had a movement the first morning.

Tuesday March 25, 2014, 6:30 - 8 pm
Speaker: Dr. Sandra Alfoldy
Art, Design and Craft in Context Lecture Series
Co-presented by Craft Ontario
Ron Thom and the Allied Arts Lecture
Tickets available at the door
This lecture will investigate the complex relationship between craft and architecture in post-war Canada. In previous centuries these two fields were considered to be "allied arts" but by the mid-twentieth century it was more common for them to be regarded as separate and distinct. During the post-war building boom Canadians were challenged to consider public craft commissions and the way institutions are mediated by practical and aesthetic considerations of material, scale, form, ornament and identity. Using examples from across Canada, including the work of Ron Thom, Dr. Sandra Alfoldy will celebrate the successes of architectural craftsmanship, while questioning the ways in which the allied arts continue to shape how we experience our public spaces.
Dr. Sandra Alfoldy, Nova Scotia College of Art & Design (Professor in Craft History)
Dr. Sandra Alfoldy received her Ph.D. in craft history from Concordia University in 2001, and completed her post-doctoral fellowship at the University of Rochester in 2002. Her current research focuses on the relationship between craft and architecture in post-war Canada, and the historical tensions between Canadian studio craft and industrial design. She is the author of "Crafting Identity: the development of professional fine craft in Canada" (McGill Queen's University Press, 2005), editor of "Neocraft: Modernity and the Crafts" (NSCAD Press, 2007), and co-editor of "Craft, Space and Interior Design: 1855-2005" (Ashgate Press, 2008).
Dr. Alfoldy co-curated the 2007 traveling exhibition "On the Table: 100 Years of Functional Ceramics in Canada," and is the chief curator of the Canadian Fine Craft exhibition at the 2009 Cheongju International Craft Biennale in South Korea, and the Canadian Fine Craft exhibition at the 2010 Olympic winter games. In 2007 she organized the international Neocraft: Modernity and the Crafts conference at NSCAD University. She credits her professional textile artist parents, Andy and Elaine Alfoldy, for instilling in her this obsession with the crafts.

Intro_v011 of 11
Evil Twin2 of 11
It's understandable wanting, even needing, to accept hand-me-downs from your parents. And while "recycling" their old dishware, towels and even artwork is cost-effective, you must draw the line at a twin bed. While they were perfectly logical in junior high, when slumber parties were frequent, they don't make sense for adulthood. No guy wants to be intimate in a teeny-tiny bed, much less spend the rest of the night sleeping alone… in the other one.
Purr-fect3 of 11
You'll have to look hard to find a man who calls himself a true cat lover. But even if the new guy in your life said he's OK with your feline friend, he probably isn't OK with a dirty litter box in your living room, a fridge covered in photos of your "baby" or, god forbid, posters of cats on your walls. So while it's all right to keep Whiskers around, don't let him run the place.
Black Thumb4 of 11
If you can't keep a bamboo plant—which experts say is the lowest-maintenance variety around—alive, then don't bother trying. It's better to succumb to your inabilities than to have a house full of sad, wilting plants in dried-up pots. Instead, pick up fresh flowers just ahead of your guy's arrival and cut the stems at an angle, making sure no leaves get submerged underwater. They may only last a few days, but at least they'll be bright, colorful and alive.
Under Wraps5 of 11
Even men who have been married for years probably aren't thrilled to discover an open box of Tampons, pads or other feminine products on the bathroom counter. Cabinets were designed for this very reason. If for some reason your bathroom doesn't have built-in storage, then invest in a stylish box that you can place artfully in the corner, and fill it with those things that only women need to see.
Pink Slip6 of 11
If your childhood obsession with pink never went away, then you're going to need to tone it down in order to make a guy feel comfortable. Ken probably never wanted to live in Barbie's dream house, and chances are that no guy you meet will want to inhabit your bubblegum boudoir either. The same can be said for florals, which in moderation can be lovely—and even tolerated by most alpha males—but if your home reeks of girliness, then he'll have a hard time envisioning himself there long-term.
No Kidding Around7 of 11
It can be hard for young children to let go of their baby blanket, doll or beloved stuffed animal. But you're not in preschool anymore, so you really shouldn't be cuddling with a ratty lovie, raggedly doll or battered bear. Moreover, you should not be proudly displaying said objects on your bed like trophies. If you do, then the man in your life may start thinking of you as a kindergartener, which is definitely not a good thing.
Estrogen Overdose8 of 11
Most women love Jennifer Weiner novels, Nancy Meyers movies and Norah Jones ballads, but too much of a good thing is a bad thing. If your collection of rom-coms, beach reads and Lilith Fair compilations is large enough for your own pop-up shop, then do yourself a favor and keep them out of sight. To send an entirely different message, consider casually displaying a copy of Fifty Shades of Grey on your coffee table instead.
Ex Factor9 of 11
No matter how many times you swear on your life that you and your ex (or exes!) are "just friends," no man is going want to see photos of him (or them)—especially framed ones—around your house. Nor will he want to stumble across tear-stained love letters, dried bouquets of flowers, or ticket stubs from concerts you attended together. If you must keep these things to look back on when you're 80, then put them in a box, seal it with packing tape, and stuff it in the back of your closet.
Trash Talk10 of 11
Most days you work long hours, hit the gym and then fall into bed after scarfing down whatever you can find in your fridge. But that's no excuse for leaving dirty dishes in the sink, wastebaskets overflowing with trash, or a wig's worth of hair in your shower. Even if you don't consider yourself a neat person, take the time to tidy up before inviting a man into your home. If your place is dirtier than his, then you'll have a problem.
Help Yourself11 of 11
All women have insecurities—physical, financial, even intellectual—but there's no need to advertise your self-doubts. Framed posters of runners crossing the finish line emblazoned with words like success and determination are fine for doctor's offices, but they're a little earnest—and dare we say cheesy—for your house. Likewise, bookcases filled with tomes like He's Just Not That Into You and Women Who Worry Too Much—though no doubt valuable—could raise red flags.
NEXT ON GLO: Key Measurements Every Homeowner Should Know


text:
Israel's side is justifiedJuly 15,2014The recent letter written by Connor Rose regarding the renewed fighting in Gaza is replete with misinformation. The three Israeli students kidnapped and killed in the West Bank were killed by Palestinians who sympathize with Hamas.
Hamas praised their actions and urged more of the same. The alleged killers of the young Palestinian boy in East Jerusalem (whose killing is as tragic as the deaths of the three boys) have been arrested and three have confessed. The Israeli prime minister has publicly condemned the killing and pledged that the killers will be punished to the full extent of the law.
Israel has been the subject to missile attacks by Hamas for several months. These attacks have intensified in recent weeks (over 800 missiles have been launched). Missiles are being indiscriminately fired at major population centers in Israel such as Tel Aviv, Jerusalem, and Ben Gurion airport. These missiles are not glorified bottle rockets. They are more akin to large artillery shells: many of which have been supplied to Hamas by Iran.
The only reason that there has not been more damage or loss of life in Israel is due to Israels anti-missile system, the Iron Dome. Security is paramount to Israels existence. What other country in the world would not respond to such missile attacks? Certainly not the United States.
Israel has tried to only strike Hamas military targets in Gaza. However, Hamas builds, stores, and launches its missiles from populated areas, i.e.: near or in schools, homes, hospitals and even mosques. This makes for much collateral damage and the unfortunate loss of life. Hamas also uses human shields, so much for its claims of protecting Palestinians.
Hamas has stated as its fundamental objective the total annihilation of the State of Israel. It is impossible to make peace with such an organization without a fundamental change in its position.

Skip to comments.Feds turn tables on Florida Gov. Rick Scott, deny storm money
Posted on 09/22/2012 3:17:43 AM PDT by Cincinatus' Wife
TALLAHASSEE Time after time since taking office, Gov. Rick Scott has boasted of rejecting billions of dollars from the federal government. Now, Washington has turned the tables, shutting down Scott's plea for financial aid in a move that almost instantly took on political tones.
The Federal Emergency Management Agency refused Scott's request for a presidential declaration of disaster for damages caused by Tropical Storm Isaac, declining to provide $26.9 million in aid to hard-hit counties.
Scott moved this week to appeal the decision, but not before the issue was cast in a political light, highlighting Florida's importance in the presidential election and the rocky relationship between Washington and the Sunshine State.
.....[Chris] Fugate [FEMA director], who served as director of the Florida Division of Emergency Management from 2001-09, this week let Scott know his request had been denied.
Fugate's letter stated that the damage was not severe enough to require federal aid, and basically argued that Florida could handle the costs on its own.
The rejection is the latest dust-up in a tenuous relationship between Scott and the federal government.
Shortly after coming into office, Scott rejected more than $2 billion in federal funds aimed at building a high-speed rail line. Obama criticized Scott for the snub, saying he thought it was "wrong."
Scott helped support the U.S. Supreme Court challenge to Obama's federal health care reform this year. When the Supreme Court upheld most of the law in June, Scott said Florida would not accept billions of federal dollars to expand Florida's Medicaid rolls.
Scott also has battled Washington over early voting changes and purging noncitizens from the voter rolls.......
(Excerpt) Read more at tampabay.com ...
If states don't take federal money, be it for education, health care, etc (and the rules and regulations attached to weaken states rights and obligate them to unfunded mandates), or cause them any political heartburn that costs them time and effort to fight, the feds will keep your money and give it to those who will obey their dictates - and tie you up in court (using your money to fight the citizens of your state, who don't have deep pockets like the feds).
Blackmail Federal style.......
If I were Romney's Super PAC, I'd be making a commercial to blanket Florida with this for the next couple of months.
Yes sir, blanket the state....
Scott did the right thing rejecting the funds for the rail and money to set up the "healthcare exchanges". Both would have left Florida holding the bag for countless billions in the future. So Feds, I give you my finger! H@ll take two!!
And how does this help Obama win Florida???
Obama must think that $27 million won't buy him enough votes to seal the deal and carry the state.
Out of sheer petulance. Just like Texas.
5 more weeks. Send this, the worst administration in history, packing.
Seize Federal property in Florida. Auction it off until the money is raised. Problem solved.
This will be sure to earn Obama votes in Florida! / S
Obama's world of liberal fascism is beginning to unravel as the People begin to discover who Obama really is, a fascist in sheeps clothing.
If you aren't a DEmocrat you won't get any HEALTH CARE down the road if Obamacare is allowed to stand!!!!
"Seize Federal property in Florida. Auction it off until the money is raised. Problem solved."
Excellent idea!!!
We are fortunate that all of the clowns in Washington are far too stupid to be the antiChrist.
Same policy FDR used.
How did that work out in 1861?
This was actually stupid of Scott to beg the Feds for money....while bragging about "not taking federal funds". Duh...of course now Obama and the Feds will stiff you.
And, I guess pandering to all the Black Racists, having George Zimmerman locked up for self-defense, did not help either.
The GOP needs to stop giving the Dems political fodder...and the GOP needs to stop the "Socialist when we feel like it" nonsense
Scott needs to be primaried out in 2014...or the GOP will lose the Governors Mansion
With posters like you who needs Dem political fodder?
"Obama is giving Florida the Texas treatment - the federal finger. "
Part of the enemies list he denies having.
seriously...this could and should be used against obama in Florida...
There is no benefit to be part of the U.S.A. if you don't vote for Democrats. And this flop of a president wants to lecture Romney on being "president of all the people"....that is, except TX and FL and other states who dare to oppose The First Dictator. Democrats can't give out disaster aid for TX wildfires and FL hurricanes because they need that money to buy votes in the Red States.
The governors should write a state law giving complete amnesty to all those refusing to obey Obamacare.
Thanks Cincinatus' Wife. Zero just lost Florida, or knows he'd already lost it.
I live in North West Fl. and have yet to see an Obama yard sign. I'm sure I could find some downtown but I haven't been there lately.
Maybe Obasma" internal polls tell him Fl is lost to him anyway so he might as well stick to to Scott.
lol. Good luck with that.
At this time wouldn't it be correct to call it the Feral government instead of the Federal government?
With posters like you who needs Dem political fodder?
Just tellin' like it is. To be a Conservative....you must go beyond the "R". Rick Scott is no conservative...heck his business existence was based on how much government money he could take in (Medicaid, Medicare, Socialized Medicine)
The GOP needs to stop giving the Dems political fodder...and the GOP needs to stop the Socialist when we feel like it nonsense
lol. Good luck with that.
LOL...reading some of the other responses on this thread...I see what you mean ;-)
Hey, M!
Hope all is well with you!
45 days until we vote Zippy out of office.
Otherwise,you may have to make room for a bunch of us!!!!
The Southern states could secede all but in name, and it would be FedGov who would be hurt, not them.
I convinced an apolitical mid-twenty something last weekend that Hussein and the rat party were abusing her generation and her only possible hope for a prosperous future was to dump all things democrat. We must all keep at it.
I doubt the Republicans in Florida are SMART ENOUGH to play this right (they certainly aren't generally), but a SNUB like this can drive Florida straight into the Republican camp in November.
But that takes some guts, and...
On the other hand, the Republicans have pointed out this snub (or I wouldn't be reading about it), but do they have the apparatus to see it through?
Yes, a commercial asap
Hey, E .
It is always good to hear from you.
I am totally sick and scared for you good people in the U.S. of A.
Although we are doing fine in Panama, it does not make me sleep any better at night worrying about my country.
I have no idea how this is going to turnout. I dont have high hopes. The cheating is going to be outrageous in favor of the bastard if we get to elections. (Actually, I cant vote since I am not a resident of any state. I made that choice. I did not want to pay state taxes just to vote once every two years.)
Should Romney win, what plans does the Chicago mafia have to continue staying in power? Or maybe they will try and make their move before elections.
Thus far, it appears every one of the bastards plans to grab complete power has blown up in his face.
If you need to escape, Panama will greet you with open arms.
If you have pets, they are welcomed too. They will need certain shots to get into the country. There is no quarantine period as there was years ago...six months...awful. There is no need to leave your extended family behind. There also some good vets in Panama, and it will not cost you a zillion dollars every time your pet needs to see the doctor.
You can have firearms in Panama. Buy them here. There is too much legal paperwork involved to ship them with you. It is also a very long process. It is not worth it. Just sell them, and purchase your new firearms here.
Take care and the best to you.
M, do I have to declare any Girl Scout cookies I bring with me to bribe my host? ;)
Thanks for all the helpful info. Please pray for America—it is scary how many people are so uninformed about Obama and what has been occurring these past four years.
Take good care of yourself.
Does this mean Barry has written off Florida?
".......who don't have deep pockets like the feds)."
The Left has worked long and hard to sew those deep pockets to the Federal Gov. suit. Those deep pockets weren't in the Constitution, and have to be removed, and put Uncle Sam right back where he belongs as subservient to the people.
OH YEAH, 0bama is for all the people ...MY AZZ
Obamugabe did the same thing to Oklahoma a couple of years ago when that state was hit by floods....
Oklahoma was the only state in the union not to have a SINGLE COUNTY vote for his socialist ass....so guess what--he refused to send any federal help their way.
Obamugabe is a miserable, thin-skinned, pathetic fascist. We must fire him without hesitation in November.
Possible translation: screw you cue ball, we don't need Florida anyway.
Where's that, "That's racist," gif.?
The Obama Admininistration also refused to send aid to VA after the earthquake of Aug 2011. AND refused permits to drill off-shore that would help our energy independence.
To: Chris Fugate, FEMA Director
Be advised that as of today I am embargoing all federal income tax payments to the U.S.Treasury from Citizens of the State of Florida.
Have a nice day.
Gov. Rick Scott

For Immediate Release
November 19, 2013
Seventh-Grade English Teacher Named 2013 National Milken Educator
Surprise announcement recognizes teacher for her success as role model for students and peers
ELGIN – The Illinois State Board of Education and the Milken Family Foundation Tuesday named Melissa Leisner, a seventh-grade English and language arts teacher at Prairie Knolls Middle School in Elgin as the 2013 Illinois recipient of the Milken National Educator Award. State Superintendent of Education Christopher A. Koch joined Superintendent Todd Stirn and Dr. Jane Foley, Senior Vice President of the Milken Educator Awards, to make the announcement at Prairie Knolls before students and teachers under the ruse of a state education presentation.
"I am very pleased to join the Milken Foundation in recognizing an exemplary Illinois' teacher," said Dr. Koch. "Melissa has repeatedly created and demonstrated innovative teaching strategies that can be successfully adjusted to meet individual student needs. She is an outstanding role model and mentor for her students and her colleagues."
Now in her 15th year of teaching, Ms. Leisner started at Prairie Knolls in Central Community Unit District 301 in 200. Ms. Leisner is described by administrators as a teacher who builds relationships with her students and encourages their feedback so that she can better support them. During her time outside the classroom, Ms. Leisner takes classes, researches new instructional strategies, revamps lessons and reads novels so that she can recommend books to her students. Ms. Leisner never gives up and never stops working on improving her teaching to help students improve their learning.
"We are extremely proud of Ms. Leisner for being the recipient of this prestigious award. We are even more proud to be able to claim her as our very own, said Christopher Testone, principal of Prairie Knolls. "Her approach is student centered and friendly; and her outgoing personality along with her caring attitude, make her a student and staff favorite. At Prairie Knolls Middle School, we believe in providing positive adult role models and supports for our students. Ms. Leisner is the epitome of this philosophy."
The Milken National Educator Award is given annually to teachers demonstrating exemplary skills and a personal commitment to education. Each winner receives $25,000 from the Milken Family Foundation.
Since the program began in 1987, nearly 2,600 educators across the country have been awarded a total of more than $64 million in individual, unrestricted awards. Illinois joined the Milken Educator Awards program in 1988 and there have now been 112 Illinois Milken National Educators. Last year's winner was Stephanie Hawkins, a second-grade teacher at Lynne Thigpen Elementary School in Joliet Public Schools District 86. For more information, visit http://www.mff.org/mea/.

JD Barchard's first start of the season for NAIA Saint Xavier University's football team seemed quite familiar.
While starting last weekend at one defensive end spot for the Cougars – the defending national champions from Chicago – the end on the opposite side of the line was fellow Crystal Lake South graduate Ryan Miles.
"Ryan and I talked about how having two starters from the same high school was pretty cool," said Barchard, a sophomore. "When one of us would make a big play, we'd make the Gator chomp with our hands."
Barchard, while subbing for injured starter Jimmy Sandling, made five tackles and forced a fumble in a 54-10 rout of Michigan's Concordia University. He had 1.5 tackles for loss and was credited with two quarterback hurries and one pass breakup for SXU (7-1), which ranks No. 5 in the nation in this week's NAIA poll.
The effort earned Barchard the Mid-States Football Association Mideast League Defensive Player of the Week honor.
"I was really surprised," Barchard said. "The coaches asked me to step up. I got a lot more reps in practice last week. Hopefully, I showed them that I deserve a little more playing time and I'll rotate in a little more."
Barchard, who hopes to start on the line with Miles next season, has spent this season adjusting to being a down lineman.
"It's a big change from playing linebacker in high school," he said. "I've gotten a little more comfortable playing the position. I had a good off-season, and I haven't been injured at all, which has helped."
Against Concordia, JD's brother, Brett, has four tackles as a reserve defensive lineman while Miles added two tackles.
The Gator contingent has helped make SXU's defense impressively stingy.
The Cougars are allowing 15.1 points a game, which ranks No. 8 nationally. SXU allows 2.7 yards a carry on the ground and only 5.5 yards per pass play.
In eight games, the team has produced 25 turnovers and 20 sacks.
SXU plays its biggest game of the season today at 1 p.m. when it hosts top-ranked Marian University from Indiana.
Marian beat SXU in the regular season a year ago, but the Cougars pulled off a dramatic 30-27 win in Indianapolis in the semifinal round of the NAIA playoffs.
"There's some history there," Barchard said. "We're a lot more focused this week. Practice is a lot more intense. We're pretty excited."
Cougar honoree Sherman: Freshman soccer midfielder Cassidy Sherman, a Jacobs grad, was named to the All-Ohio Valley Conference second team and the league's All-Newcomer team this season.
Sherman has played in all 17 games this season for D-I SIU-Edwardsville, scoring a goal and tallying two assists for the Cougars (7-7-3).
Sherman's goal was the game-winner for SIUE in a 1-0 victory Oct. 12 against OVC foe Murray State.
Petty paces Stars: Marian Central grad Kelly Petty, a junior women's soccer forward at D-III Dominican University, was named to the All-Northern Athletics Conference second team this fall.
Petty was the leading scorer this season for the Stars (8-11) with 12 goals, five assists and 29 points.
Hawkeye happenings for Fiedorowicz: Iowa junior tight end C.J. Fiedorowicz has posted a career-high 24 receptions this fall for the Hawkeyes (4-4). The Johnsburg graduate also has a career-best 236 receiving yards this season.
Last season, Fiedorowicz had 16 receptions.
Good sport Lehnertz at Stout: Wisconsin-Stout junior tennis player Elizabeth Lehnertz was named to the Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic Conference All-Sportsmanship Team last month. Lehnertz played Nos. 4 and 5 singles and the top two doubles spots for Stout (3-9).

Baton Rouge has a leading opioid treatment provider in Baton Rouge Comprehensive Treatment Center. They provide methadone, counseling and other support services for those struggling with opioid addiction. Available via local physicians is suboxone (with buprenorphine) which provides relief from opiate withdrawal symptoms for a significant number of people. Below are links to more info on methadone program effectiveness, opioid dependency, addiction & recovery counseling, and job openings in methadone clinics.
Phone: (844) 202-2176
New National Buprenorphine Website
Buprenorphine.US is the newly developed companion website to Methadone.US. Methadone has been in use as an opioid addiction treatment medication for nearly 50 years. In 2002, buprenorphine became available in the U.S. as a new alternative for people suffering with opioid addiction. Since then, various medications containing buprenorphine have been released such as suboxone and zubsolv.
Buprenorphine for opioid addiction treatment can only be prescribed by qualified physicians who have received training on the proper use of buprenorphine. As the opioid addiction problem grew over the last 15 years, many thousands of doctors pursued training and were approved in the use of buprenorphine-based medications to treat opiate addiction.
At Methadone.US, we have served over 1 million U.S. visitors since the website's launch in 2011. Buprenorphine.US will aim to connect many more individuals with qualified physicians who can help them in their journey toward a genuine recovery and improved quality of life.

Methadone Clinics Offer Important Medical Service
There are currently well over 1000 methadone clinics in operation across the United States and many more throughout the world. Methadone has been a leading treatment intervention for opioid addiction for more than 40 years. Methadone is an FDA-approved medication and it's use in treating opioid addiction has been identified by SAMHSA as a best practice, evidence-based treatment approach.
Adding to the legacy of methadone as a successful treatment medium are the hundreds of thousands of individuals who have been able to totally eliminate the severe opioid withdrawal sickness that wrecked their lives. The value of this medical benefit is priceless.
The cost for participating in a methadone program varies from clinic to clinic and in part depends on whether the clinic receives any state funding or accepts Medicaid for payment. Many clinics operate as private practices funded primarily through patient self-payment. Private clinics often offer a substantial discount for patients that pay for a month of services in advance.
Due to methadone's proven efficacy, many addicted people experience rapid relief from opiate withdrawal and find themselves eating and sleeping more normally, gaining weight, and able to work again. They are able to pursue other goals & responsibilities that had previously become too difficult in their active addiction.
Methadone is a powerful medication that must be taken as prescribed and in conjunction with good counseling. When a patient is willing to embrace medication-assisted treatment and to utilize it properly, recovery can happen. This life restoration process is demonstrated on a daily basis all around the country.

Methadone Clinic North Dakota
It was announced in June that North Dakota would be receiving its first methadone clinic. North Dakota and Wyoming are the only two states in the U.S. that have yet to provide a methadone treatment program for opioid addiction.
The region has suffered in recent years with an increase in the use of heroin and fentanyl, and with associated opioid overdoses. Kurt Snyder is the Executive Director of the new clinic, Heartview Foundation. Mr. Snyder echoed the research-based evidence showing that medication-assisted treatment for opioid addiction provides superior results to abstinence-only treatment interventions.
In the article linked above from The Jamestown Sun, a local police detective indicated that the addiction problem had recently worsened in North Dakota as a result of the price of drugs dropping.
The Heartview Foundation clinic will also offer buprenorphine and naloxone in addition to methadone thus providing a more complete range of medication assisted therapies. Therapeutic counseling and mental health treatment will be a component of the Heartview program as well as drug testing.
Of particular benefit too is the recent initiative in North Dakota that will allow pharmacists the ability to prescribe naloxone so that opioid overdoses can hopefully be greatly reduced. The ready accessibility of naloxone is receiving a nationwide push as communities struggle to address overdose concerns.
Methadone.US welcomes a new addition to the featured clinics here on the site with the listing of BrookStone Medical Center in St. George, Utah.

Buprenorphine Implant for Opioid Addiction
The FDA has approved a new implantable drug called Probuphine. Probuphine contains the partial opioid agonist, buprenorphine, which is used to suppress the opioid withdrawal symptoms that interfere with daily life.
The implant is the size of a matchstick and is inserted under the skin in the forearm area. It steadily releases a dose of buprenorphine which has been scientifically proven an effective treatment for eliminating opiate withdrawal symptoms in a number of people physically dependent on opioids.
With heroin and opioid overdose deaths at an all time high in the United States, this new alternative offers one more beneficial path for anyone struggling with opioid relapse and chronic withdrawal. Importantly, Probuphine only treats the physical withdrawal from opioids such that the underlying psychological factors of addiction must still be treated through counseling and other support approaches.
The Wall Street Journal has an extensive article on this new medication and the historically important role of methadone and oral buprenorphine. In the article, Nora Volkow (director of the National Institute on Drug Abuse) is quoted as saying:
Over 47,000 people died in the U.S. of drug overdoses in 2014. A majority of these were attributed to heroin and prescription painkillers. With continued coverage in the media and ongoing community discussion, more answers and helpful interventions will hopefully see the light of day.

President Proposes Funding Increase for Treating Opioid Addiction
President Obama recently attended the National Prescription Drug Abuse and Heroin Summit in Atlanta, Georgia. Professionals and concerned citizens used the forum to explore ways to address America's rising opioid addiction problem.
The President agreed that increased funding is needed to raise access to drug treatment in an effort to simply avoid incarcerating those addicted to heroin and other potentially deadly opioids.
The NBC article referenced here states that over 28,000 people died last year from opioid overdose in the United States. This number has quadrupled since 1999. Many of the overdoses occur from various opioids laced with a powerful prescription pain killer called fentanyl.
Methadone and buprenorphone (the active ingredient in suboxone) are the leading medications used in medication-assisted treatment approaches. Naloxone is another important medication which has been used to reverse opioid overdose. It has saved thousands of lives and is being widely adopted by first responders and police departments across the country due to its proven effectiveness.
President Obama expressed that the U.S. will move toward improved drug treatment access for opioid addicted individuals and that the issue of addiction will be dealt with more as a public health issue as opposed to strictly a criminal act. Included in the proposed legislation is doubling the patient limit such that doctors can treat up to 200 people with buprenorphine (suboxone). The current patient limit is 100.
The Department of Health and Human Services is reported to have committed another $94 million to community health centers to boost their provision of medication-assisted treatment in poor and isolated communities. Many rural areas of the U.S. have very limited availability of opioid addiction services.

This sounds so uplifting, with only a mild distaste of tragedy on the edges. One thing that becomes evident though, you weren't "forced" to surrender anything. Instead, you chose to take a road less traveled. It seems that nobody could imprison you ... not even yourself.
Or, instead of the uncertainty and angst that an uncommon environment invariably produces, would you rather have had all the answers and recognition just pretentiously handed over to you in South-Central? Where's the accomplishments in that?
Instead, you have similarly experienced what can fairly be described as a rich kid's boarding school travail. So now? You're back in a 'Dena hood. No more (real) adventures for you?
Randy your an inspiration to others. Keep fighting your cause. Noone will stop you except you. You have come so far and should share that strength with people that want a better future as you did and do.

Kershaw's HR and shutout lead Dodgers over Giants
LOS ANGELES Hall of Famer Sandy Koufax threw out the ceremonial first pitch. Then another Dodgers left-hander with a great curveball dominated.
Clayton Kershaw launched his first career home run to break a scoreless tie in the eighth inning before finishing off a four-hitter Monday that led Los Angeles over the defending champion San Francisco Giants 4-0 on opening day.
He gave us seven chances to take care of it, and finally he said, `Thats enough. Im going to take care of it, catcher A.J. Ellis said.
Kershaw became the first pitcher to throw a shutout and hit a home run in an opener since Bob Lemon for Cleveland in 1953, according to STATS.
What an awesome feeling, said Kershaw, who charged around the bases accompanied by a prolonged roar from the sellout crowd of 53,000. I probably wasnt feeling my feet hitting the ground.
Kershaw struck out seven, walked none and retired World Series MVP Pablo Sandoval on a grounder to end it. His curveball was particularly effective in his sixth career shutout three against the Giants.
I was able to throw it for strikes, which is key, he said. That made it easier for them to chase. They were swinging early in counts.
The former Cy Young winner began the day as a career .146 batter with only one extra-base hit in 261 at-bats. He struck out in his first two at-bats. But he sent the first pitch from George Kontos (0-1) over the center-field wall, triggering a standing ovation on a cool and sunny day.
After high-fiving his teammates, Kershaw tipped his cap from the dugout, a bit uncertain on the protocol since hed never done it before.
As soon as I sat down, I had to think about getting three outs, he said.
Ellis described the dugout scene as pandemonium.
To see that joy on his face when he was rounding third, it was great to see because usually hes so focused, the catcher said. Everyone is going to say they were at the Kershaw home run game, even though only 53,000 were here.
Kershaw became the first pitcher in the majors to homer on opening day since Joe Magrane of St. Louis in 1988, and the first Dodgers pitcher to do it since Don Drysdale in 1965.
I never knew what that felt like, said Kershaw, who homered in spring training four years ago and before that in high school.
Giants catcher Buster Posey had a close-up view of Kershaws home-run swing.
The ball just ran back to the middle a little bit and he was all in, Posey said.
Koufax, wearing his vintage No. 32 jersey, was a surprise guest for the ceremonial first ball. In 1964, he pitched the first opening-day shutout at Dodger Stadium, where he returned Monday for the first time since 2009.
It was almost like a passing of the torch day, Ellis said. The first pitch by Koufax and the last by Kersh.
Kershaw, who turned 25 last month, was leery about having his mentioned with that of Koufax, whom hes gotten to know during spring training.
He was the best left-handed pitcher ever, Kershaw said. Im honored with the comparisons, but I dont put any merit into it because I got a long way to go.
Kershaw tossed 94 pitches in his third consecutive opening day start. He has led the majors in ERA each of the last two seasons, and there is speculation he will soon be rewarded with a long-term contract worth about $200 million.
After the game, Dodgers co-owner Mark Walter hugged Kershaw, but the pitcher said getting in a quick negotiation didnt cross my mind.
Opening day was everything I could hope for, Kershaw said. Hopefully we got 161 more of those coming up.
Kershaw hasnt allowed a run in three opening day starts with a combined 19 strikeouts in 19 innings against the Giants this year, the Padres last year and the Giants in 2011.
Matt Cain made his first career opening day start for the Giants. He allowed four hits in six scoreless innings, struck out eight and walked one. The right-hander threw 93 pitches, including 32 in the first inning alone when he hit Mark Ellis.
That was a tough one, but Kershaw never gave us a chance to do much at all, Cain said, and thats typical of him and what you expect from him.
While Kershaw (1-0) was resting after his home run, the Dodgers broke it open with a four-run eighth.
Carl Crawford followed with a double in his Dodgers debut and later scored on a wild pitch by Santiago Casilla for a 2-0 lead. The Dodgers got their last two runs on RBI groundouts by Andre Ethier and A.J. Ellis.
Dodgers co-owner Magic Johnson was the mound before the game when manager Don Mattingly came out and signaled for a reliever. In came Koufax to throw the first ball to former Dodgers ace Orel Hershiser.
A few minutes later, the crowd looked toward Vin Scullys booth, where he began his 64th season, and the revered broadcaster pronounced: Its time for Dodger baseball.
Tigers 4, Twins 2
MINNEAPOLIS Justin Verlander won on opening day for the first time in six tries, pitching five shutout innings at frosty Target Field and sending the defending American League champion Detroit Tigers past the Minnesota Twins 4-2 on Monday.
With the gametime temperature at 35 degrees and the wind blowing at 17 mph, fans had to bundle up. But opening day is always a draw, as evidenced by the announced sellout crowd of 38,282.
Verlander (1-0) had been 0-1 in his previous five openers. Phil Coke got the last two outs for the first save by the Tigers closer committee.
Prince Fielder, wearing a black ski covering on his head, had two hits and an RBI to help spoil the first Twins start by Vance Worley (0-1).
CHICAGO Chris Sale outpitched James Shields, Tyler Flowers homered and the Chicago White Sox beat Kansas City in their season opener.
Sale (1-0) showed the form that made him a 17-game winner and an All-Star in his first season as a starter. On a chilly day when the gametime temperature was 44, he allowed seven hits and struck out seven in 7 2-3 innings. Addison Reed worked the ninth for the save.
Shields (0-1) was a tough-luck loser in his first start since the Royals acquired him from Tampa Bay in the offseason. Flowers homered leading off the fifth.MORE IN Sports WireOXON HILL, Md.

NL East Voodoo
In answer to my own question yesterday, Ryan Howard is back! Yeah! I am so happy to see smiling Ryan again :o) The sad pooh-pooh face was just no fun at all. He hit another homer in Houston last night and went 3 for 5 with a total of 2 RBI's, finally smashing through the Mendoza line! Now batting .207, Howard can relax a little and hopefully get that average up into a respectable area.
Are you all wondering what the voodoo is all about? Don't worry…we are getting to that…read on though, I have more to cover first. Solid offensive output all around last night. Most everyone pitched in, but they still left a lot of men on base. As for the pitching, Kendrick is obviously still on a learning curve here…he's making me nervous! Not a bad performance, but kind of shaky with his location being off a lot at times. It will be interesting to see how much he learns from his mistakes from start to start this year. But as usual, great job by the pen and nice to see Lidge have a happy return to Houston!
I am so sick of the Marlins winning! Can this team just go away already? So, I have made my very own Florida Marlins voodoo doll. I am using my J-Roll Smurf stuffie doll to beat him up with:
I think we should all make one. I was going to make a Mets voodoo doll too, but then I realized, they already have one of their very own…he is called "Billy Wagner and His Huge Team Morale Smashing Mouth." We should put one of those in every opposing clubhouse :o) They just dropped 4 straight to the Atlanta Braves! Johan Santana, the gazillion dollar man, or whatever they pay him, gave up 13 hits, 3 earned runs and only 1 strike out in 7 innings! Wonder what Mr. Wagner had to say about that? Probably something with like 20 cuss words in it and his finger pointed at every one on the team sucking except for him… What a team player…gotta love him!
So, then I was going to make a Braves voodoo doll…but, my Uncle is a Braves fan, and also a minister and so I thought perhaps I might be struck down by a bolt of lightning if I tried it!. Soooooooo…hey, can someone else do it for me? Shhhhh…don't tell! As for the Nationals, why waste my time, really? Talk to me when they get hot…(and as I say that, I am silently hoping I did not jinx it…)
6 Comments
Love the doll! I was thinking of having a Fish Fry tailgate! You have to make one of the Mets. That would be awesome although they seem to be collapsing on their own.
The fish fry is an awesome idea! You gotta do it! Yeah, I am gonna work on the Mets doll too…glad you liked the idea :O)
Well, the Nationals won last night. Guess you'll have to make a doll for them after all.🙂 I kid, I kid.
As for the Marlins, you are not the only one wishing they would go away already. Gee, is it me, or do they always act like this every few years after a fire sale?!?
On Kendrick, I think his problem is he's trying to be like Hamels. Sorry, Kyle, but you are not a strikeout pitcher. You are a groundball pitcher. Stay in your comfort zone and let you fielders do the rest. You'll last in the bigs longer.
Lastly, on the doll, now that's cute.
Although I am a Marlins fan, I can appreciate the voodoo doll. It is very funny. I think it may have worked though, because our solid bullpen blew 2 saves last night against the Mets! Please put that thing away for our big series this weekend! It's OK though. Myers is 5-7 with a 5.01 ERA against the Fish in his career, so he might be just what the witchdoctor ordered. I enjoy your blog very much. If your intrested on a take of the Marlins now and again, check out: http://marlinsin62003.mlblogs.com/
Thanks for the post. I feel sorry for you if you are stuck around NASCAR fans. Egad! I couldn't imagine a worse spot to be in (except maybe surrounded by Braves fans) I'm sure this weekend series will be entertaining, so long as your team doesn't put up 2 touchdowns every game😛 Enjoy it!
Actually, I know a worst spot. Being surrounded by Mets fans.😛

1,000 new apartments planned for downtown Berkeley
The view from the L-shaped deck off the penthouse apartment at 2055 Center St. is spectacular. One side looks west toward San Francisco Bay and the Golden Gate Bridge. Another side offers a sweeping vista of Berkeley's downtown and hills.
For $6,300 a month, the amenities ought to be top-of-the-line, and at the recently opened Berkeley Central — formerly known as the Arpeggio Building — they are. From Bosch appliances and stainless steel designer lights to the wood floor (dark or light, depending on the unit), the six penthouse units on the ninth floor promise an urbane, urban lifestyle.
The building, which the developer CityView acquired in a fire sale in July 2012 for $60 million, has been open for about seven weeks, and about 35% of its 143 units have been leased, according to Natasha Moses, a property manager for Riverstone Residential Group, the leasing agent. … Continue reading »
