Laurier to implement new learning management system with Desire2Learn
Communications, Public Affairs & Marketing
Mar 10/10
As one of the cornerstones of Lauriers ICT renewal plan, the university is implementing a new learning management system to support teaching and learning. Effective August 1, 2010, Laurier will begin a five-year contract with local company Desire2Learn (D2L).
The contemporary university environment needs solutions that allow learning to take place both inside and outside the classroom, says Tom Buckley, assistant vice-president: academic services. We believe that D2L provides a solution that will support our faculty and students in this regard.
With more than 94 per cent of Lauriers classes incorporating an online component, the universitys teaching, learning and technology steering committee explored alternatives that would best meet Lauriers needs, both now and into the future.
"We will take advantage of D2L's hosted solutions offering, says Buckley. This arrangement will allow us to focus on content development, delivery and pedagogy and not the technical management of servers and availability."
Spring/Summer 2010 courses will be completed on WebCT, the system Laurier has been using since 1998, during the transition to D2L. Teaching support services will make numerous training opportunities available to faculty and students.
John Baker, president and CEO of Desire2Learn, says the company is thrilled to be working with Laurier.
"We look forward to working collaboratively with the university to help transform the teaching and learning experience, says Baker. Desire2Learn is committed to ensuring a smooth transition, and we will help the university to leverage technology in support of improved student outcomes and strategic objectives."
Desire2Learn (www.desire2learn.com) was established in 1999 in Kitchener-Waterloo. The company provides e-learning solutions to hundreds of post-secondary education institutions throughout North America and around the world.
More information about the transition to the D2L system will be made available to the Laurier community as plans develop.

Just a small question on the subject of marabout. I only knew it to be a bird and in the before worldwar II spelling we wrote it as such. Now it is marabou. The Marabouts must have stolen the word from the marabouts, no?

Interesting....I don't know the word with the 'T'
but so often 'old' words have redundant letters which are getting dropped now.
like colour>>color
I try not to let it happen in my writing...the words just don't look as good.

The birds name came from the Arabic word (via Moroccan dialect to French) mirabūt 'a kind of holy man; also the stork' based on similarities between how the cleric dressed and what the stork looked like. The -t was there and pronounced. Not sure if it got dropped in the French pronunciation._________________________

Yes zmjezhd, these days I look up that part too. mirabūt. Also read that it meant: from Arabic murbi, posted, stationed. Only I suppose the bird was there before the holy man ever was. And they both have a posted stature I suppose.
That's why the 'who took who's word' was funny to think about.

Sure thing. Not that I meant different, but the word is not that old in English, French, or Arabic._________________________

My lo is 6.5 weeks. I just started pumping for the first time this week. I only get about 1.5-2 oz per breast at a time (15-20 minutes per breast) and the instructions (medela swing) say this is what you can expect to begin with, so I have a couple questions:
1- If this is a normal amount for a novice pumper what can I do to improve yield - I'm wondering how anyone can possibly pump enough to spend any amount of time away from their lo at this rate.
2- How much would you expect a male 6-7 week old to drink per feed? Mine just quaffed 6 oz down really quickly (a friend at work was feeding her), I didn't realize and then saw the already empty bottle and was amazed - I thought it would have lasted several feeds. Do babies extract milk more or less quickly than a pump? After my friend fed him he just fell asleep for hours and hours - he doesn't normally do this and would normally want to nurse more and would only sleep in short naps.
3- this has me a bit concerned that maybe I'm not producing enough milk. At my 1 month ped visit the dr said my lo was well nourished but would be a small person due to his measurements all being low percentiles. This, of course, got me very anxious. I REALLY don't want to introduce formula but of course don't want a starved undersized baby either.
4- Does age affect milk production? I'm almost 40 and this is my first lo.
Advice would be much appreciated.

Lopes Spills The Beans About Utley
In an interview with Davey Lopes, the Phillies first base coach, published today by Baseball Prospectus, Lopes let it slip that Chase Utley is hurt. When talking about the team's lack of stealing bases, Lopes had several comments including this one:
"Chase [Utley] has been hampered by a little bit of a knee injury. That's more than likely why our numbers are down, but it's still confusing to me as to why they haven't been as aggressive in attempting to steal."
According to Lopes, this seems like a minor issue. However, Utley has not been productive for a long time now. In the entire month of June, Utley has just 9 hits in 49 at-bats with 2 RBI, no homers and only 2 extra-base hits, both doubles. These numbers are not typical of a healthy Utley, but he constantly insists that he is healthy when questioned.
Hiding an injury is not new for Utley; his hip problem in 2008 which required off-season surgery was also not disclosed until then GM Pat Gillick let the cat out of the bag during an interview. The same has happened again, only with Lopes as the loose-lipped culprit.
This begs the question, is Utley's issue more serious than anyone knows and is he hurting the team by continuing to play? If some time-off will help, he should take the time off and get himself straight. While Utley's tough-guy, play at all costs mentality is admirable, it is also not helping his team. And the cloak and dagger technique used trying to hide the issue does nothing but prompt more questions and speculation.
According to CSN Philly's Jim Salisbury, GM Ruben Amaro Jr. said, "Davey Lopes is not a doctor," and was quite upset about the comment. Although, Amaro did admit to Utley having "soreness" in the knee, but not a full-fledged injury. Yes, ball players get "sore" throughout the season. So again, why all the cloak and dagger when this is a common occurrence among ball players?
I am not a doctor either, but I am fairly certain that if a bear stops eating, something is wrong. Bears like to eat; Utley likes to hit. Right now, it is just not happening.
What are your thoughts on the subject? Feel free to chime in below in the comments section.

If Utley is bothered by his knee, he has an obligation to his team as a team player to look into it. Why try to hide it? I just don't understand that. Big boys don't cry, Utley, but you, as a seasoned player to this team should be man enough to check it out. If it's nothing major, so be it. If something is, get some relief for it. The team needs you to be 100%. There's definitely something wrong with him. He's such a guarded person that you can't really see it with the naked eye.
Amaro really struck back at Lopes for his statement. We definitely don't need any friction between these two especially at these precarious times. Every person who's part of the Phillies organization should be on the same page and be cohesive with each other in my humble opinion.
Those are my thoughts. Barb
Hip Secrecy. The Yanks are getting the same treatment from ARod. I never used to hear about hips in the past. Now in the recent years, hips are going out of whack. Hmm.
And everyone is so secretive about them. And coaches are better off seen; not heard.

Many people are aware that Taj Mahal has some of the finest Indian food in Columbus, but some might have overlooked the hip bar and lounge next door. Located north of Lane Avenue near Campus, the Taj Bar & Lounge draws both Ohio State students and those post-college types with its well-made cocktails, lively events and outstanding patio overlooking High Street.
With a mirrored wall and fluorescent-lit bar, there's an aura of cool that immediately comes across when you walk into Taj Bar. It's a small bar area with about 10 or so bar stools, but the lounge area and patio offer other seating options. The lounge has the design of a living room you'd find in any duplex from Norwich to Patterson — complete with a neon High Life sign — but is offset by some chic decor like red leather couches, high-top tables and multicolored walls.
When ordering a drink at Taj Bar, I recommend taking advantage of the bartenders' palpable skills and getting a cocktail — or two. The current list of martinis and Indian-influenced concoctions is being upgraded with a host of new craft cocktails that will be available by September. The bar will also add a late-night eats menu of Indian-style bar food at the same time.
The new additions will be stylish, polished and mixology-focused, and they'll run $7-9. The Rose Garden — Watershed gin with a blend of ginger ingredients and rose water — sounds impressively refreshing. If you don't see the drink you're in the mood for, don't worry; these bartenders are capable of handling any recipe. The Maker's Mark Old Fashioned I had was perfectly executed.
Besides the potent potables, Taj Bar also draws in crowds for its nightly events. Every night offers entertainment — live music, karaoke and wildly popular trivia — with drink specials designed specifically for each event's crowd. The other big event at Taj Bar, and the rest of Campus for that matter, is game days. Every Buckeye game is shown on a big-screen projector on the patio, and the drink specials are plentiful.

Think about "bookmarking" the following websites, which contain resources, articles, and updates.
- Pubmed

- National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine
- National Institutes of Health (NIH)
- NIH National Library of Medicine
- Food and Drug Administration (FDA)

- The Medical Library Association has A User's Guide to Finding and Evaluating Health Information on the Web. Links to their "Top Ten" most useful consumer health websites are listed.
- The MedlinePlus website lists several links on Evaluating Health Information.
- The National Cancer Institute's website has an article on How To Evaluate Health Information on the Internet: Questions and Answers.
- The U.S. Food and Drug Administration offers Health Information On-Line.
Read Up
More and more consumers are going online for health information. There are many advantages to using the internet: information is readily accessible, often free, may be up-to-date, and can be comprehensive and factual. On the other hand, there is a tremendous amount of content that is false, inaccurate, and misleading.
Here are some methods that can help you best use the internet to obtain health information:
1. Consider the source.
There are several credible websites that offer guidelines for evaluating health information on the internet: One of the most highly-respected sites, the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health (NCCIH) provides the following tips that highlight important criteria to consider when evaluating health information on the web.
Web Research Checklist (Print)
- Who runs this site? The organization's name should be clearly marked on every major page, along with a link to the home page.
- Who pays for the site? The source of a website's funding should be readily apparent. The source of funding can affect what content is presented and how.
- What is the purpose of the site? This question is related to who runs and pays for the site. An "About This Site" link appears on many sites; use it. The site's purpose will help you evaluate the information's validity.
- Where does the information come from? If the person or organization in charge of the site did not create the information, the original source should be clearly labeled.
- What is the basis of the information? The site should describe the evidence that the material is based on. Healthcare facts and figures should have references (such as to articles in reputable journals). Also, opinions or advice should be clearly set apart from information that is "evidence-based" (that is, based on research results).
- How is the information selected? Is there an editorial board? Do people with excellent professional and scientific qualifications review the material before it is posted?
- How current is the information? Websites should be updated on a regular basis, especially ones featuring health information. The most recent update or review date should be clearly posted.
- How does the site choose links to other sites? Websites usually have a policy about how they establish links to other sites. Some link to any site that asks, or pays, for a link. Others only link to sites that have met certain criteria.
- What information about you does the site collect, and why? Many health websites ask for you to "subscribe" or "become a member." Any credible health site asking for this kind of information should tell you exactly what they will and will not do with your information.
- How does the site manage interactions with visitors? There should always be a way for you to contact the site owner if you run across problems or have questions or feedback. If the site hosts chat rooms or other online discussion areas, it should tell visitors what the terms of using this service are.
2. Proceed with caution.
NCCIH and the FDA encourage healthy skepticism as you seek and evaluate web-based health information. As you surf, keep asking:
- How does the provider or manufacturer describe the treatment? Certain types of language may sound impressive but actually disguise a lack of science. Watch out for claims of a "secret formula." If a therapy were a cure for a disease, it would be widely reported and prescribed or recommended.
- Is this site the only source for information on a condition or treatment? Legitimate scientists want to share their knowledge so that their peers can review their data. Be suspicious of phrases like "suppressed by Government" or claims that the medical profession or research scientists have conspired to prevent a therapy from reaching the public.
- Does it sound too good to be true? Then it probably is. Be wary of claims that something cures a wide range of unrelated diseases (for example, cancer, diabetes, and AIDS). No product can treat every disease and condition.
- On social network sites, read the privacy policy to ensure you are protected. Don't give out personal information and be sure to check any advice with your provider. Learn more in "Get Help From Others."
3. Seek specifics.
To find specific scientific evidence on a topic, try PubMed. PubMed provides free internet access to resources contained in Medline (an online database of health information from the National Library of Medicine and National Institutes of Health). Through PubMed, you can access 15 million article citations going back to the 1950s.
The PubMed website offers these search tips:
- Identify your key concepts. Identify exactly what you're looking for so you can focus your search. For example, entering the terms "cancer" and "chemotherapy" will give you more concise information than if you simply entered "cancer."
- Determine alternative terms. If you are searching for "treatments" you may also want to search by other terms such as "therapies." Experiment using different terms to see how it affects your search results.
- Refine your search. Do you only want to look for studies conducted in the past 10 years? You can specify a date range for your search.
- Practice helps. The more searches you do, the easier it will get. It's helpful to familiarize yourself with search techniques. PubMed has an online tutorial that explains advanced search techniques to help you focus your search.
To conduct a PubMed search, simply enter your search terms and click Go. PubMed will automatically run the search and display citations for the articles. You can click on most articles to read an abstract, which will provide you with a brief overview of the study.
Where can I find information about integrative therapies?
In many situations, integrative therapies and conventional approaches work well together. Integrative therapies can be (and are often) used in conjunction with standard biomedical therapies and procedures. For example, integrative modalities can help with pain relief and the fear associated with certain tests and procedures.
A good way to become familiar with different integrative therapies is to visit the NCCIH website to see if NCCIH has any information or scientific findings to report about a particular therapy.
The NCCIH Clearinghouse provides information about integrative therapies and about NCCIH. Services include fact sheets, other publications, and searches of federal databases of scientific and medical literature. The Clearinghouse does not provide medical advice, treatment recommendations, or referrals to practitioners.
Remember also that you can use CAM on PubMed to search this free government database for information on integrative therapies and healing practice. Many of the other sites listed in the "Learn More' tab have information on integrative therapies.
In summary
You can find valuable health information online, but you need to evaluate it carefully first. Make sure you are consulting a reputable site, and evaluate all claims closely—if they sound too good to be true, they probably are. You can get great information from several government sites, including PubMed.

5 Ways Women Are Trained To Hate Men
David Wong over at Cracked, who normally does excellent work, wrote a piece called 5 Ways Modern Men Are Trained to Hate Women. Not only did I think the article was not up to Wong's usual standards, I thought he had it backwards; There is actually a lot more propaganda aimed at getting women to hate men than vice-versa.
1) Hollywood/Commercials: Ever heard of the Lifetime Network? Every man is a menacing stranger, every husband a wife-beating philanderer, and every date, a potential rape waiting to happen. Then there's the hapless, incompetent father character who has become such a staple of television shows and commercials that he's become a stereotype. There are lots of groups that can — and do — complain about how they're portrayed on TV, but men could kvetch as much as any of them if they so desired.
2) Women's Magazines/Romance Novels: You might think women's magazines are all about today's empowered women who are starting their own businesses, competing with men on their own terms, and working their way to the top in politics. Uh…not quite.
In other words, women buy women's magazines to figure out which sort of men they should pursue and how to please them so they can get married. That's kind of shallow, but not any moreso than men, who buy men's magazines primarily to figure out how to impress women.
The problem is that women's magazines, like romance novels, have set the bar so high that there are like 12 guys who meet it. This is what they're telling women they should be shooting for….
A man is basically looking for a woman he thinks is attractive, who admires him, who's nice to him, who wants to take care of him, and who likes to cook and have sex. In other words, it's still probably the same basic formula that cavemen were using. The message women get today, on the other hand, is that they should be looking for a man who looks like a cross between a bodybuilder and a professional model, who should either be filthy rich and/or a viking/pirate/vampire who's incredibly dangerous and romantic, but can be converted into a house hubby via his emotion-releasing attaction to a woman, so they can live happily ever after, in eternal passion and in complete comfort forevermore.
One of the biggest reasons that the age people first get married in this country has gone up considerably over the last few decades is the ideal consistently presented by women's magazines and romance novels is so far out of line with reality that almost every real man women run across seems like a disappointment in comparison.
3) The court system: The whole "women can do anything a man can do," "we're empowered" thing reminds me of a tactic John Stewart likes to use. He makes serious commentary that he wants to affect how people think, but when he gets called on it, he says, "Hey, I'm just a comedian. You can't take what I say at face value!" In other words, it's "clown nose on, clown nose off" based on whatever best suits his purposes. We get the same thing with the court system
Men and women both have equal responsibility to take care of a child. So, can the father have shared custody after a divorce? No, the kid needs his mother. The woman makes more than the man. Can he have alimony? A man getting alimony? That's ridiculous! Women are just as tough as men and can do anything they can do in the office! Unless, "Oh my gosh! Someone told a joke about a prostitute and a priest walking into a bar! I'm traumatized! It was almost as bad as the swimsuit calender on the wall! That's was sexual harassment!" A good looking guy asks a woman out and she goes. An unattractive man asks a woman out and it's sexual harassment. Clown nose on, women are empowered and strong, clown nose off, women are delicate little flowers who'll be bruised by being treated the same way men are on a day-to-day basis.
4) Politics: Haven't you heard about the "war on women?" Women are being asked to pay for their birth control — just like men are! So obviously, they're being kept down! Haven't you heard that women don't make as much as men? Granted, they don't work as much either or in professions that are as dangerous or unpleasant, but still, it's men keeping women down! The rhetoric doesn't need to have anything to do with reality; it just has to be useful to the politicians using it to try to get elected.
5) Liberal feminism: Liberal feminism has as much to do with hating men as it does with empowering women. It tells women that there's a "patriarchy" out there that doesn't exist, that men have it better than women, plays up any and all grievances between men and women, tells women they're victims, and generally does all it can to promote gains for women at the expense of men. Liberal feminism is more of man hater's philosophy than it is a way to lift up women.
Thank goodness that there are so many women out there who don't pay attention to the conditioning that's all around them in modern American society.

For Ventures
All entrepreneurs and members of entrepreneurial teams who participate in the RIT Venture Mentoring Service (VMS) should understand and are expected to abide by the following basic rules and principles:
- RIT VMS entrepreneurs are expected to commit to a sustained relationship with RIT VMS, and to be professional, open, and responsive to the volunteer mentors who work with them.
- RIT VMS entrepreneurs must adhere to RIT policies and directives, including those regarding the use of RIT resources. All applicants for RIT VMS services must complete a Venture Application Form, Venture Acknowledgements and Release Form and adhere to the Venture Reporting Requirements.
- Mentor(s) will be assigned by the Venture Creations Director to each RIT VMS entrepreneur/entrepreneurial team. RIT VMS entrepreneurs are expected to notify the VMS Coordinator promptly to describe any problems or changes in their mentor relationships, or to request replacement of a mentor or to gain assignment of additional mentors.
- It is expected that the entrepreneur will be in meaningful contact with the mentor at a minimum of once per month. Entrepreneurs are required to submit meeting agendas at least three days prior to each mentor session, and meeting summaries within 24 hours after each mentor session, and should apprise RIT VMS on progress once every two months. During crucial times, contact may be more frequent and after mutual "graduation", contact may drop to quarterly reviews. In addition, there must be mutual agreement that the relationship between the entrepreneur and RIT VMS is beneficial.
- RIT VMS entrepreneurs are responsible for providing RIT VMS, to the best of their ability, with accurate information regarding their venture, and for identifying any current or potential claims on, or liabilities of, their business. All identified proprietary information provided by entrepreneurs will be maintained in strict confidence by RIT VMS.
- RIT VMS entrepreneurs should understand that any RIT VMS mentor who enters into a financial, equity or compensated business relationship with a RIT VMS venture or entrepreneur must resign his or her position as mentor to the entrepreneur and/or venture involved. This resignation and proposed financial, equity or compensated business relationship must be submitted to the RIT VMS Coordinator.
- With RIT's permission, RIT VMS entrepreneurs may include the RIT Venture Mentoring Service name in their written business plan or company description, or mention RIT VMS in their written fund raising presentations. Names of individual RIT VMS mentors may be used if permission is given by the individual mentor.
- RIT VMS reserves the right to disassociate from any entrepreneur who fails to comply with RIT VMS rules, act in accordance with RIT VMS principles or fail to keep up the sustained relationship as outlined in (1) above.
Because VMS is almost entirely a volunteer service, we need your help in tracking meetings and advice. In exchange for receiving mentoring services, please provide the following to the VMS Coordinator, Jane Tibbitts via e-mail at email@example.com:
- When scheduling meetings with your mentors, prepare and submit a short agenda covering the anticipated topics to be covered.
- Submit a short meeting summary including action items after each VMS session. Feedback is also requested but not required.
- Provide a brief company update (e.g., milestones reached, major customers, investments, etc.) and send to the VMS Coordinator at email@example.com every two months.
- For all correspondence, include your company name and VMS (as well as topic) in the subject of your e-mail.
Here are a few guidelines:
Meeting Requests
- In most cases, the timing of the next meeting will be determined by you and your progress.
- When you contact the VMS Coordinator to request scheduling a meeting, please prepare a short list of the agenda items you would like to cover at that meeting.
- The finalized agenda must be provided to the VMS Coordinator and your mentor team at least three days prior to your meeting to assist them in preparing their thoughts. A sample agenda template is available for download from the RIT VMS website.
- You may also include any additional materials you believe would be useful.
- The number of mentor sessions you hold will depend on your stage of company, current needs, and agreements with your mentor team.
- A sample agenda template is available for download from the RIT VMS website.
Meeting Summary
Submit the meeting summary within 24 hours of the meeting to your mentor team and the VMS Coordinator via e-mail at email@example.com.
- Include a list of the participants at the meeting.
- Detailed minutes of the meeting are not required. Just describe the major topics and issues that were covered and any critical items that arose in discussion.
- List your homework assignments or any "To Do" items, including any for the mentors or VMS.
- Don't worry about your prose, an outline or bullet points are just fine. Most summaries will be ½ to ¾ of a page.
- A sample meeting summary template is available for download from the RIT VMS website.
Your Feedback
Please also send any comments/suggestions for improvement to the VMS Coordinator via e-mail at firstname.lastname@example.com. We would really appreciate receiving your feedback. This helps us in our efforts to ensure that we are providing you with a high quality of service. Your comments will not be included with your meeting notes. Instead, they will be kept separately and confidentially within the VMS office for use in helping us to evaluate and improve our services. If you have shared any of your comments with your mentor team for improving the process, please indicate so.
- Rate the meeting on a scale of 1-5, with 5 being the best.
- Comment on what you liked and/or what you found most helpful.
- Comment on what you didn't like and/or what you would change.
- Provide any additional thoughts, comments, or suggestions.
As stated in the Rules for Participating Entrepreneurs, VMS expects a brief company report at least every two months. If your status changes please inform your lead mentor. If communication has lapsed, your lead mentor or the VMS staff will check in with you periodically regarding your status and your progress. We expect you to respond to these inquiries in a timely fashion, even if your response is just to let us know that you are busy right now or not in need of VMS services at the moment. We also expect you to let us know when you need us and what kind of help you need. Please don't wait for us to contact you. We encourage you to email or call with questions, meeting requests, other needs, and concerns as they come up. We will make every effort to respond in a timely and helpful fashion. Of course, if you give us some lead time, it's easier to make sure that we can set up a meeting or help in other ways.
For any questions, please review the Rules for Participating Entrepreneurs or contact the VMS Coordinator, Jane Tibbitts via e-mail at firstname.lastname@example.com or by phone at 585-475-7953.

However, it was too heavy for the cast iron rails used at the time. The locomotive only ran three trips before it was abandoned. Pictured is a model of the locomotive at the National Waterfront Museum in Swansea, Wales.

Maybe I should sign with Boras…
All hail the Sultan of $$$$$$$$$$$$…
Unfortunately, the Yankees are going to be seeing super agent Scott
Boras more than they'd like given his newest clients are Robinson Cano and Nick
Swisher. I have to admit that I was
dismayed to see the two Yankees sign on with Boras because it will mean the
potential for contentious negotiations in the not-so-distant future. It also felt like the chances the players
stay in the Bronx behind their current deals lessened substantially when I
heard the news.
From the players' standpoint, Boras makes complete sense. He has shown an uncanny knack for getting the
most for his clients (sometimes in seemingly impossible situations). While I may not like Boras personally, he is
clearly on a different level than most agents.
I can only hope that it does not eventually lead to Cano's departure.
I have to admit that it looks strange to see former Oakland A's third
baseman Eric Chavez in Yankees gear.
Chavez was always an Athletic that I held high regard for, but as with
former Red Sox shortstop Nomar Garciaparra, injuries have taken their toll on a
once outstanding career. I am really
pulling Chavez and I hope that he earns a bench role for the Yankees (even at
the expense of Ramiro Pena). I'd like to
see Chavez backing up the corner positions, with Eduardo Nunez covering the
middle infield positions.
Of the other players in camp on minor league deals, I'd say that I am
most supportive of former Chicago White Sox pitcher Freddy Garcia. If the Yankees don't trade for a starting
pitcher or sign someone like Kevin Millwood, I'd like to see Garcia earn a spot
in the rotation ahead of Sergio Mitre and the other cast of characters. While I recognize that the other spot will
most likely go to Ivan Nova, I am very intrigued by Hector Noesi and I am
looking forward to seeing what he can do in camp. Of the younger guys, I most excited about lefty
Manny Banuelos but he is still a few years away from the majors.
It was tough to see Alfredo Aceves sign with the Boston Red Sox. I know the Yankees were interested in
bringing Aceves back, but Boston's willingness to extend a major league
contract was the difference maker.
It's hard to believe that pitchers and catchers report on Monday but I'm
ready for the new season. I still think
that the Boston Red Sox and the Philadelphia Phillies have the best teams on
paper but there's still a lot that can happen between now and October. And, oh yeah, they still have to play the
2 Comments
I suppose we have Scott Boras to thank for paying $5 for hot dogs for a game, but owners pay what he demands. Not working out so great for the Nationals right now though.
Don't forget though, any other teams interested in Cano or Swisher will have to pay what is surely going to be a ridiculous asking price; almost certainly more than the Nats paid for Jayson Werth. The Yankees are still the best positioned team to land either one.
I agree with you, Kurt. As you indicated, the owners pay what he demands. By the way, as a correction, Nick Swisher did not sign with Scott Boras. There had been an erroneous report that he had signed with Boras, however, he actually signed with agent Dan Lozano. Still, it doesn't take away from my comments about Boras and his stature within the ranks of the agents. While the Yankees may be able to afford the players, I agree that they need to exercise financial constraint…probably more so than other teams because of the perception of baseball fans everywhere. The Yanks need to spend to stay competitive but history has shown that they fail when they spend foolishly and needlessly.

Giant '1,360B' cup bra up for auction
World's largest bra busty enough to cover 2 tennis courts
Published On: Oct 24 2012 09:52:02 AM CDT Updated On: Oct 24 2012 11:28:23 PM CDT
The world's largest bra -- a "mega 1,360B" -- is being auctioned off for breast cancer awareness.
Busty enough to cover two tennis courts, the giant pink bra was designed by London sailmaker M. Putt Sailmakers for the Breast Cancer Campaign's "Wear it Pink" day last year, The Huffington Post reported.

When we turn on the lights on January 1, 2012, we'll be close to $11.5 million in the hole; so while we sit here and struggle with $2 million today, you can multiply that by five, and that does not take into account health insurance increases, pension increases, or cuts in funding from Albany. So as difficult and wrenching as this is, the task has just begun. The rhetoric needs to be toned down."
That was Sullivan County chairman Jonathan Rouis speaking just after the legislature voted to cut 32 vacant positions from the county payroll and 16 filled positions. The vote came after a parade of county workers sounded off about the cuts at a meeting at the government center on February 4.
County employee Elise Kennedy criticized the plan to cut three positions from public health in the same year when funds were given to organizations such as The Eagle Institute and the Sullivan County Long Beards. She said, "The welfare of babies and children should always come first, certainly before eagles or long beards."
Martha Wilcox, also with public health nursing, said the cuts were ill-advised especially because "Sullivan County ranks second from the bottom" in providing health care to its residents.
Henry Belzer said that he had seen people crying in the hallways earlier in the day. He was also one of several speakers who warned lawmakers that they are all up for election this year, and they may likely be voted out of office in November after voting for the cuts.
Dina Jester, whose position was targeted for elimination and who works with families where child abuse is a factor, said, "I know I've made a difference, and that's why I'm here pleading for my position."
The vote to move ahead with the cuts came moments after lawmakers voted to reinstate four percent raises and longevity bonus payments that had been agreed to in contracts with union workers that were negotiated in 2008.
In December 2010, lawmakers voted on a budget that included an across-the-board salary freeze, which they said would have eliminated the need for any layoffs this year. But the unions would not agree to the freeze and deferment of the longevity payments and filed grievances with the state. The lawmakers ultimately came to believe the union's challenges would have been successful, and layoffs could not be avoided. Rouis warned that additional layoffs may be coming later in the year.
County officials used $7 million in reserve funds to balance the 2011 budget funds that will not be available next year. Unless sales tax revenues unexpectedly rebound with surprising strength, which officials are not expecting, the budget process for 2012 could mean an even greater number of layoffs in combination with a significant property tax increase, unless Albany passes a two percent property tax increase cap, in which case the layoffs will be even more significant.

I don't know if JR received a letter of clearence from FIBA already, but if he did he could play some garbage minutes if we're beating NOLA bad enough.
Wow, the Hornets really look terrible on paper!
I mean it's one thing to trade Chris Paul, but where are ALL of their guys? No David West (INdiana), no Emeka Okafor(Where is he?), no Carl Landry, no Willie Green (Where is he?).....they lost everybody it seems...
and where are their trade pieces Al-Faruq Aminu and Eric Gordon?
I've never ever heard of their power forward....and Kaman starting, wow just wow. I thought the Bobcats were horrible, but New Orleans takes it to a whole new level.....I feel sorry for their fans, they used to have decent fans.
Should be an easy win for us, SHOULD be.
Is J.R. SMith expected to play?
I don't know if JR received a letter of clearence from FIBA already, but if he did he could play some garbage minutes if we're beating NOLA bad enough.
Okafor isn't traveling with the Hornets and won't play until after the All-Star break at the earliest. "I'm not going to get too detailed about that. It is what it is," said Williams when asked about what's wrong with Okafor. The Hornets now have four players sidelined with knee issues: Okafor, Eric Gordon, Jarrett Jack and Carl Landry.

JR Smith expected to play Sunday his first game as a Knick, although he will be at MSG tonight
desde la cuna del chango
Whoa relax on bashing the game thread guys! Constructive criticism only please! These things are not an easy task by any stretch of the imagination!
Tips for the future:
* Resize pictures
* Less giant capital letters, the jokes are cool but hard to read all that massive spam
* Do a quick check on NBA.com to find out who's probably playing
As for the game, we should win this easily. I want at least a 10 preferably closer to 20pt cushion around the end 3rd/start 4th so we can keep resting Lin.
good game thread, kinda reads like a Crazy 8's lite. I agree with Smokes on future tips.
looking forward to seeing J.R. Smith on the bench, and player's reaction to his addition.
should be good game for STAT and Chandler, with Okafor out, can't see Kaman going hog-wild on them.
let's go Lin-kerbockers!
Lins about to get a 20 20 tonight I can feel it coming
we don't need Melo tonight! Give the guy another night off. Knicks 100-78. Lin with 6 point and 15 assists.
You heard it here first...
Will we ever win a championship again? Id like to think so!
No offense guys but I am happy when people do game threads, hate when people always feel the need to trash someones thread, if you want something different, sign up to do one (not talking to you DZ I know you've done plenty), I've only done like 2, but just saying, Crazy8s sets a high standard but I'd rather have someone step up then we get no thread to discuss
"Tough times don't last forever, tough people do"
How many times will STAT get his shot blocked. 7-8?

I am writing with questions regarding how to GENTLY transition my 6-week old daughter from bottle to breast.
Our low-birth weight baby was born after a long labor and delivery process. Due to complications during and after the delivery she was whisked off to the NICU and got her first bottle feed there, before I could get to her. When I tried to put her to my breast a few hours after birth, she was unable to associate the breast with food - don't know why! She behaves that way to this day, even as she turned 6 weeks today.
From the time we were allowed to start rooming-in in the hospital, we have been trying to feed from the breast. Due to her low birth weight and her refusal to nurse, I have been pumping and feeding her - first through a syringe and now using bottles. She is gaining weight well, and now I'd like for her to start learning to nurse, so she can reap all the benefits of breastfeeding.
To make it a little bit more challenging than it already is, I have inverted nipples in both breasts, although all these days of pumping has helped that situation some, but not a whole lot. The lactation consultant I metwith in the hospital recommended a nipple shield, which I tried using as well.
So, here is the situation: my daughter totally refuses to associate the breast directly with milk, so she doesn't even take the nipple in her mouth, leave alone try to close her mouth around it to latch on. With the nipple shield on, I guess because of its comparable feel to the bottle nipple, she attempts to suckle. This happens every once in a while, not always, and when she suckles she succeeds in getting milk out and swallowing it. But that doesn't last too long - 5 min.s maximum. Then she just becomes too tired to continue, falls asleep and wakes up a few minutes later feeling really hungry and starts crying a lot. At this point I try not to force her to nurse, and give her the bottle. Is this 'giving-in' on my part having a negative effect on establishing nursing?
One of our local LLL leaders suggested I use a syringe or a Foley (sp?) cup to feed her and slowly get her to wean off the bottle. That way, her comfort during feeding can come solely from nursing. In theory it makes total sense, but when I tried to feed her with a syringe today, she cried and refused to swallow any of the milk I put in her mouth and slept for 4 hours without feeding - as if saying, "I'd rather be hungry than feed like this". It just broke my heart to see her like that. I am unable to see her cry and be sad like that, so I don't know if there is a gentler way to help the transition. What should I do when she gets really hungry, and starts crying for her bottle? Have any of you been in this situation? Are there any suggestions you can give me?
I really, really want us to experience this basic method of nourishment and benefit fully from it. We are having trouble. Please help.

Review: These are the new smartphones your carrier doesn't want you to know about
Review: These are the new smartphones your carrier doesn't want you to know about
Top telecom companies make a killing in the United States. AT&T and Verizon combined to pull in more than $64 billion in revenue during the most recent quarter alone, yielding about $13.3 billion in combined operating income. Wireless represents the biggest business for each of the nation's top carriers, and high-margin smartphone sales play an important role in maintaining growth.
If smartphone sales start to move away from carriers, they stand to lose a huge amount of money in the long run. This could be one of several reasons we now see carriers actively promoting new smartphone purchasing options. But what happens if handset companies start successfully selling their own devices directly to consumers at ridiculously affordable prices?
One fresh new company intends to find out, and it could end up being your carrier's worst nightmare. More →

Stock Futures Flat as Markets Cool
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- U.S. stock futures were pointing to a flat opening on Wednesday as major equity markets cooled off following two days of strong gains on improving Chinese growth.
Futures for the S&P 500 were effectively unchanged at 1,682.25.
Futures for the Dow Jones Industrial Average were tacking on 0.07%, to 15,183. Nasdaq futures were sliding 0.34% to 3,172, weighed down as Apple
Futures were moving sideways Wednesday after President Barack Obama addressed the nation Tuesday night about Syria in which he proposed a diplomatic solution with Russia's aid to seize Syria's chemical weapons arsenal thereby avoiding a military intervention in the Middle Eastern nation. Obama did reiterate that, if necessary, a limited targeted strike could be used to achieve a clear goal: "detering the use of chemical weapons and degrading Assad's capabilities."
The U.S. economic calendar includes wholesale inventories for July at 10 a.m. EDT. Economists polled by Thomson Reuters are expecting July inventories to have risen 0.3%, which would reverse the prior month's 0.2% dip.
Additionally, the Energy Information Administration at 10:30 a.m. will release weekly information on crude, gasoline and distillate inventories in the United States.
