Is Crew Interested In Downtown Land?
The Columbus Dispatch - June 25, 2014 09:30 AM
AKRON – When Anthony Precourt purchased the Crew last summer, the deal also included the deed to Crew Stadium. Now in its 15th year as America's first soccer-specific stadium, the venue remains iconic among soccer enthusiasts if also a bit dated.
Shortly after assuming control of the team, Precourt told The Dispatch that the Crew remained committed to Crew Stadium for the intermediate future. Major League Soccer has been pushing new franchises to find real estate in downtown markets for their new stadiums, and it has long been assumed that the Crew would be interested in an eventual move downtown.
So when the city of Columbus announced plans to develop land along the Scioto River that included a proposed Columbus Zoo and Aquarium attraction, it was fair to wonder if the Crew had pursued land that was apparently available Downtown. And when Issue 6 was roundly rejected and the zoo announced it was abandoning plans for the area, the question became more pressing.
Is the Crew interested in the land as part of the Scioto River development on the west side of the river south of COSI Columbus? Precourt did not specifically rule it out.
"That's something that we watch and are learning about," he said. "I wouldn't say that we're actively in discussions on that land yet. We have our priorities and our road map, our five-year road map, and Crew Stadium is our home."
Mayor Michael B. Coleman spokesman Dan Williamson told The Dispatch in an article published June 5 that it is unknown what might replace the zoo, saying that "we as a community need to figure that out."
The Crew has long listed three primary goals necessary to achieve fiscal solvency that would all be necessary before any talks of a new stadium could begin: selling naming rights to Crew Stadium, reaching 10,000 season-ticket holders and acquiring a jersey sponsor. Barbasol filled that last goal prior to the 2012 season, but the other two goals remain elusive and distant. The Crew remains north of 7,000 season-ticket holders but is not known to be close to finding a naming-rights partner for the stadium.
"As it relates to venues that will put us in a position to be more successful, you look at models like Kansas City and Orlando now coming online with their downtown facility and San Jose opening up a new facility and certainly Portland being in a similar-sized market, those are the clubs that are traditionally seeing much higher attendance than us," Crew senior vice president of sales and marketing Mike Malo told The Dispatch in a phone interview earlier this month. "If that's the formula for success for us, I'm sure we're interested in looking at it. It's a huge undertaking obviously but if the city has a vision for that and the Crew's part of that vision, we're very interested in seeing what opportunities exist."

Yellowstone Roadside Grizzlies Worth Rangers' Hassle
Yellowstone visitors would pay an additional $41 to ensure seeing roadside grizzlies, a study shows, and the attraction creates 155 jobs and more than $10 million a year for the regional economy.
The $41 visitors would pay is on top of the $25-per-vehicle entrance fee. If Yellowstone no longer allowed grizzly bears to use roadside habitat—and instead chased, moved or killed them—the regional economy would lose more than $10 million a year and 155 jobs, according to the paper "The Economics of Roadside Bear Viewing."
Allowing 500-pound bears to frolic by roads, back up traffic and entertain thousands of visitors comes with a cost, however. Park rangers and other employees spent more than 2,542 man-hours managing 1,031 bear jams in the world's first national park in 2011, the study says. That amounts to more—probably much more—than $50,000 a year according to calculations made by WyoFile and based on other park figures and information.
"We're spending a lot of time, staff time and overtime," said Kerry Gunther, Yellowstone's bear management biologist and a co-author of the report. "Managers are wondering … should we do something different?"
The study shows that while changes to roadside bear management might appear to save Yellowstone money, they would have broader consequences amounting to perhaps 4 percent of the regional economy.
Gunther, Leslie Richardson, Tatjana Rosen, and Chuck Schwartz published the study in The Journal of Environmental Management early this year. It appears at a time of limited park budgets but increasing visitation.
"We definitely have to tighten our belts," Gunther said. "Budgets aren't really keeping pace with visitation. Managers are asking tough questions."
Among those are whether the park should continue to pay rangers to be "basically baby-sitting people at bear jams," Gunther said.
That people would pay $41 extra to see grizzly bears by the roadside was unexpected.
"That kind of surprised us because people usually don't want to pay higher entrance fees for anything," Gunther said. The study might have produced an even higher value had it offered the 663 respondents a hypothetical chance to pay more than $50 to ensure roadside bears, authors said.
In any case, "It helps emphasize how important bears are to our visitors," Gunther said.
Yellowstone isn't going to use the survey to start charging a $66 entrance fee anytime soon, park spokesman Al Nash said. Yet, "our management group certainly has had discussions."
"We continue to try and look at whatever the appropriate balance is when it comes to any kind of fees," he said. "We're very conscious that changes, if they occur, need to be respectful of our visitor population and need to be incremental."
Park entrance fees are relatively insignificant compared to other costs associated with a Yellowstone visit, Nash said. The $25-per-car entrance fee is good for seven days and includes entrance to Grand Teton National Park.

Public Works responds to criticism regarding Kirkland's response to snow storm/
[box type="tick" style="rounded" border="full"]During the January snow storm, Kirkland Views received several emails criticizing the way the city handled snow removal. We asked Ray Steiger, Director of Public Works, if he would please respond to these concerns as evidenced in a letter penned by Scott Galbraith of Finn Hill. Mr. Galbraith's letter to Kirkland Views is below, followed by the response from Mr. Ray Steiger. We thank both gentlemen for allowing us to publish their views.
I would like to say that the Kirkland city works response to clearing the roads at least in the annexed areas has been pathetic.
Everyone has had to close their business in upper Juanita, there has been no mail delivery on Finn Hill for 3 days now
Driving in from Bothell, the roads are all plowed and sanded until you get the the Kirkland City line and nothing was done.
The city council needs to address this before we get a bad storm !!
Scott Galbraith[/box]
Thank you for the consideration Rob. I appreciate the opportunity to respond, and having lived in the Kingsgate neighborhood for 20 years, I also understand the perspective of those in the newly annexed neighborhoods, their hopes with annexation, and their past experience with King County.
First of all, I want to thank your reader and the comments regarding Kirkland's response to the recent snow event. This is the type of feedback and information that is helpful in our post-event debrief and in refining the approach that we take in these types of events. We are currently working with neighboring jurisdictions and our own staff to develop options and recommendations that we can implement to address the community issues that have been raised.
Prior to annexation of the Juanita, Finn Hill, and Kingsgate neighborhoods, City staff worked closely with the King County staff to, among a number of other transitional issues, ascertain their difficult maintenance access areas and their priority plow routes. As of June 1, 2011, Kirkland adopted the same priority routes that were used by King County during their maintenance of the areas; this priority system is now published on the City web site and is used by King County Transit, Waste Management, Inc., emergency responders, and public works crews to best continue to serve the community during emergencies and inclement weather events. You can view the map at: http://www.kirklandwa.gov/Assets/IT/GIS/SnowRoutes.pdf. These routes are those that receive the highest priority, are serviced first, and as time and storm patterns dictate, will typically remain the focus of our resources.
It should also be pointed out that due to revenue shortfalls in King County over the last few years, their resources and services have been dramatically reduced. This trend had begun prior to the City's annexation of the new neighborhoods and was widely publicized beginning in 2010 and well into 2011 as the County prepared their budget for 2012. As a directly related example of their overall reduction in service, their current road maintenance priorities have changed significantly due to the reduction in available funds. King County describes this recent change as such on their web site: "Due to reductions in Road Services Division staffing for 2012, snow and ice routes shown here may need to be modified. Any modifications to the snow and ice routes will reflect what can be accomplished in 2012 with further decreases to our already limited resources. The modifications may also reflect implementation of the new tiered service level approach for road services, which will take effect in January 2012." Under this new tiered approach to delivering services, many roads in unincorporated King County that were previously designated as Category 1 routes (those receiving the highest priority and associated service), are now designated with lower priority and thus a reduced level of service. A local example, the Juanita-Woodinville road north of the new Kirkland City limits, was previously identified as a Category 1 road by King County; it is now classified as a Level 2 road – service has been reduced; NE 160th Street between I-405 and 124th Ave NE appears to have been reduced from a Category 1 priority to a Level 5 priority. Revenue available for King County to maintain the unincorporated roadway network has been dramatically reduced, and thus a comparison to King County "pre-annexation" service levels does not reflect service that would have been available to the new Kirkland neighborhoods had they voted to remain in unincorporated King County. That being said, each event still provides excellent community insight into the things that worked well and to those that need to be improved.
Regarding the service that Kirkland provides and a bit of background, at the time of preparing to bring the new neighborhoods into the City, City staff "benchmarked" the existing City programs and used King County staff experience to project staffing and resource needs for the new neighborhoods. Using those measures, snow and ice removal equipment was slightly enhanced in 2011 to begin to meet the anticipated needs of the new neighborhoods. Additional resources are identified in future funding cycles however, similar to the situation that King County is facing regarding reduced revenues and a need to reconsider priorities, Kirkland faces similar constraints. Over the next 2-3 years, if and as funding becomes available and the new and larger Kirkland priorities are refined, resources can be allocated to the various needs. Community feedback suggests that support for a higher level of service in snow and ice is appropriate, and this support and feedback will be included in our post-event report to the Kirkland City Council.

Safety is being ignored on Interstate 81
Recently, West Virginia Secretary of Transportation, Paul Mattox, said safety was a priority for West Virginia's highways. Actions speak louder than words. For instance, take the entrances to I-81 at Spring Mills (exit 20) as examples of safety being ignored rather than a priority.
How safe is it to merge into traffic travelling at speeds of 70 to 80 miles per hour, from a dead stop? That situation should never have been in anybody's plans for a day, much less for weeks. If safety had been a priority, traffic already on I-81 would have been forced to the left-hand lane at least a mile before the entrances in both directions. For sure, this would have slowed traffic considerably, but that is what is preached in construction zones: reduced speeds.
This action would have given those vehicles entering I-81 at exit 20 an acceleration lane and a fighting chance with traffic approaching at 70 plus MPH. That traffic is now not restrained in any way at the two entrances. There is not a single sign warning traffic that vehicles are entering on the right at extremely low speeds.
There is not a single sign re-emphasizing the 55 mph work zone speed limit at those locations. There is not a single sign that attempts to slow down the giant 18-wheel tractor trailers – they are no more controlled than automobiles. Anybody attempting to enter I-81 at exit 20 is literally risking his/her life. I use this exit almost daily and I can testify that it is a harrowing experience.
One can't be sure what lane approaching traffic is in, or how fast it is approaching until it is right upon him/her. After dark, it's really challenging.
I think it is a miracle, not at safety priority, that someone hasn't been demolished by a huge tractor trailer travelling a 70-plus MPH. I just think a number of travelers are now avoiding I-81 rather than risking their lives on a highway where safety is supposed to be a priority.
The southbound entrance has space for an acceleration lane to the new lanes, but the space (the former lanes) is barricaded for who knows how long. It should be a priority to restore this entrance as soon as possible. I have not seen a flurry of activity at that location; must not be a priority.
On another topic, I'm suggesting again that the traffic light at exit 14 from I-81 southbound be removed. It's not needed. I have never benefitted from it being there; instead, it always nails me when I could have otherwise gone right through. I'm sure a traffic light is desperately needed somewhere; please consider moving this one there before I get fined for running a red light.

COLUMBIA, Tenn. – The Maury Regional Women's Center will be hosting a free luncheon program titled Women Helping Women on Wednesday, August 11, at noon in the Auxiliary Conference Room at Maury Regional Medical Center (MRMC).
Dr. Jeffrey T. Adams, an orthopedic surgeon on the medical staff, will discuss osteoporosis and the new Own the Bone™ program. MRMC is the first in Tennessee to implement the program developed by the American Orthopedic Association to better identify, evaluate and treat patients who suffer from a fragility fracture related to osteoporosis or low bone density. A fragility fracture is a broken bone that results from a fall from standing height or less.
Dr. Adams received his medical degree from the University of Tennessee in Memphis. He completed his internship at Charlotte Memorial Hospital in Charlotte, North Carolina and his orthopedic surgery residency at Carolinas Medical Center. He is board certified in orthopedic surgery.
According to the National Osteoporosis Foundation, up to 50% of all women over the age of 50 years will sustain fragility fractures in their remaining lifetime. Studies show that patients who have had a fragility fracture are two to five times more likely to experience another fracture than those who have never had a fracture. The goal of Own the Bone™ is to reduce future fractures for at-risk patients.
The public is invited to attend this event. Lunch will be provided. Reservations must be made by calling 931.540.4166.
Women Helping Women is a free quarterly lunch and learn series that addresses health issues facing women today.

Each year about 27,000 men and women in the US are affected by HPV related cancers.
It's the most common sexually transmitted virus in the nation. The virus can lead to several forms of cancers in both men and women.
In La Crosse County only 37-percent of females and 13-percent of males aged 13 to 17 are vaccinated against the virus and because the vaccine isn't mandatory for middle school aged children doctors say parents should have their kids vaccinated before it's too late.
"By the time a person reached age 26 if they haven't been vaccinated already, they've probably already been exposed to the virus. The vaccine isn't going to do them a lot of good at this point. It is a very common virus, so most people by age 26 if they've been sexually active, they've been exposed previously," said La Crosse County Public Health Nurse Christine Gillespie.
Anyone 18 and younger may qualify for a free HPV vaccine at their local health department. For more information on the vaccination you can go to www.cdc.gov.

Canon EOS C300 Digital Cinematography Cameras Zoom Into the North American Eagle Project(August 14, 2013)
?When I am looking through a camera and capturing a definitive moment, it doesn?t really matter if it?s a still or a moving image when I press that shutter,? Rees confided. ?In terms of lighting, composition, and visual impact, the process is very similar. Throughout my still-photography career, I have used complex lighting set-ups, jibs, dollies, and other film-oriented equipment. Sound, however, was an element I never needed to consider. While the transition into motion pictures is a natural progression for the still photographer, the need to keep sound in mind was a learning experience.?
The subject of Rees? documentary is the brainchild of veteran engineer Ed Shadle, who has spent the past 13 years building the North American Eagle, essentially a wingless 1950?s Lockheed F-104A Starfighter jet plane on wheels. Shadle (who is also the car?s driver), his collaborators and sponsors seek to break the world land speed record, which has been held by a British team since 1999.
?It is such an intriguing subject, in terms of perseverance and human endeavor ? Ed Shadle?s endless pursuit of the seemingly impossible dream,? Rees enthused. ?I saw this as a great story that I just had to get involved with.?
Compact, Cool, and Quiet In order to document the North American Eagle Project, Rees? first challenge was to find a digital cinema camera that was ergonomically similar to the Canon EOS 5D Mark II digital SLR camera he prefers for still photography, and that would also perform well in the harsh environment of the Alvord Desert. ?One of the other cameras I tried was heavy and encumbered with bolt-on attachments,? Rees recounted. ?The Canon EOS C300, however, felt great in my hands. It has a similar feel to the classic Mamiya 645 or, more recently, the Hasselblad H3D, and the EOS C300 camera weighs just over three pounds, so they are all similar in weight. Plus, I am familiar with Canon EF lenses from my EOS 5D Mark II camera. We used Canon EF 24-70mm standard zoom lenses and 70-200mm telephoto zoom lenses on the three Canon EOS C300 EF-mount cameras we had. I also used a Canon 100mm f/2.8 macro lens to shoot cutaways of a small lizard. Canon lenses are razor-sharp, fast, and lightweight. They enable you to hand-hold the EOS C300 camera, and ? incredibly ? we managed to hand-hold the EOS C300 with it attached to a portable mini-gyro.?
Heat posed a major challenge for shooting in the desert. Temperatures there ranged from more than 100-degrees Fahrenheit during one of Rees? shooting days, to 28-degrees with a chilly wind six weeks later. ?This desert is coated with alkali dust and a couple of the other cinema cameras I used took in dust through their air intakes and overheated,? Rees said. Canon?s proprietary cooling design for the Super 35mm CMOS Imaging Sensor in the EOS C300 camera features a sealed duct system that is isolated from other internal parts of the camera. This prevents incoming air from spreading dust or foreign matter through the interior of the camera body. The design also includes a super-quiet fan to avoid problems during in-camera audio recording.
?I was very impressed with the silent running of the EOS C300 camera,? Rees noted. ?We shot a scene inside a church where it was deathly quiet and very hot. The sound guy?s microphone picked up fan noise from one of the other cameras we used, but not when we used the EOS C300 camera.?
?The fact that the EOS C300 camera behaved well in temperatures of over 100-degrees gave me the confidence to take one up in a helicopter,? Rees continued. ?We captured gyro-mounted shots from about 100 feet above the North American Eagle, as it sped along with a majestic dust trail behind it. We also used the EOS C300 camera on a gyro-mount on a pursuit vehicle driving alongside the North American Eagle car. I love the high-speed footage I can get with Canon EF lenses on the EOS C300 camera. There was no moir�, no rolling shutter, no temporal aliasing. The EOS C300 camera pans beautifully and it really flows. Also important is the reliability of the EOS C300 camera. You definitely need a reliable camera when you?re that far out of the way. It?s hundreds of miles from the nearest city of any size. The EOS C300 camera is dependable and its batteries seemed to last forever.?
Crucial Performance Camped-out in high desert where temperatures can plummet after sundown, the crew built a bonfire one night that provided Rees with the opportunity to document the camaraderie of the North American Eagle Project?s team members. Rees credits what he calls the ?incredible? low-light imaging capabilities of the EOS C300 digital cinema camera with his success in capturing this defining scene. The proprietary Canon Super 35mm CMOS Sensor in the EOS C300 camera is engineered to deliver full 1920 x 1080 HD images. Combined with its sophisticated Canon DIGIC DV III Image Processor and a 50 Mbps 4:2:2 MPEG-2 codec, the EOS C300 camera provides a selectable ISO range up to 20,000.
?We shot the crew sitting around a bonfire in the dark, lit only with the ambient firelight at 6400 ISO, and the footage is virtually grain/noise-free,? Rees explained. ?We used no supplemental lighting because we didn?t want it to look artificial. Their faces were illuminated with the patterns of constantly dancing flames. It looks real because it is real. We started shooting at 3200 ISO and went to 6400 as dusk turned to dark.?
Accurate assessment of picture quality, composition, focus, and color on the Canon EOS C300 camera is accomplished using the camera?s bright, built-in 0.52-inch, 1.55-megapixel adjustable-angle color electronic viewfinder (EVF). A removable combination control panel and 4-inch 1.23-megapixel LCD provides additional monitoring and operating convenience.
?I prefer to rely on the EVF because of my background in stills, and the EVF diopter is adjustable plus or minus three,? Rees noted. ?The rubber eye cup seals out any stray light and all technical information can be hidden, leaving you free to go into your own visual world. The LCD pop-up screen was useful in the helicopter. My assistant cameraman turned it toward his seat to direct the pilot while I concentrated on looking through the EVF to compose my shots.?
The removable LCD monitor can also display a waveform monitor, vectorscope, and other screens for fine-tuning picture quality.
?Another thing that?s great about the EOS C300 camera is how you can alter its aperture very quickly and dial-in six extra stops of Neutral Density (ND),? Rees added. ?With some cameras you have to physically insert ND filters into the separately attached matte box. The EOS C300 camera has built-in ND ? up to six stops ? an absolute lifesaver. I had a shot where it was below zero and snowing in the desert but still with plenty of sunshine. I was able to quickly dial-in four stops of ND with cold hands. With all the will in the world my cold hands would not have allowed me to insert 4x5 ND?s in the matte box. The shot just would not have happened.?
In post-production, the EOS C300 camera employs the industry-standard MXF (Material eXchange Format) for smooth workflow compatibility. The EOS C300 camera can be set to record in Canon Log, a gamma setting that is provided with the camera at no extra cost, and helps to ensure capture of the full 12 T-stop exposure latitude of which the camera is capable. This image-data capacity provides the film-style dynamic range between shadows and highlights that is essential for achieving cinematic subtleties in post-production color correction.
?Canon Log is great, the images look like RAW images, and even though they?re not they are about as adjustable as a RAW image,? Rees concluded. ?Nothing is lost from shadow to highlight. This affords you a lot of flexibility in post. The Canon EOS C300 is an incredible camera, and I would say it should be the go-to camera for documentarians and/or still photographers wishing to make that transition.?

Petra Nemcova's engagement is over
The Czech model Petra Nemcova engaged the actor Jamie Belman in January 2011, after an eight months relationsip. One year and about three months later, the model sees her romance coming to an end. As a spokesperson of the model's agency, Next Models, told Vogue.co.uk this morning "Petra Nemcova and Jamie Belman confirm their separation. They remain close friends and thank their families for their continued support during this time. There will be no further comment on the matter".
Petra's wedding was set to happen next June and her dress was confirmed to be Marchesa since August 2011.
Survivor of the tragic 2004 tsunami that took her then-boyfriend's, Simon Atlee, life in Thailand, the model decided to help the local victims by founding the Happy Hearts charity. This foundation, she is still running as chairwoman, has the purpose of arranging ways to give the children living in disaster-stricken areas a better education.
If her heart is not to be filled with a loving marriage so soon, it gained more room for the children who shared the same horrible moments she did back in 2004.

KORUS – Another NAFTA-Like Trade Deal
The Korea-US Free Trade Agreement (KORUS) was passed by the overwhelming majority of both parties in both houses of Congress. Signed by President Obama, the White House promised Americans more jobs and increased exports, in spite of several economic studies that showed the deal would actually cost American jobs.
It hasn't taken long to see that the critics of this agreement were right.
The agreement went into effect in March 2012. The trade deficit with South Korea nearly tripled in one month to $1.8 billion. That month also showed a $700 million increase from April of 2011. May 2012 saw an additional increase. The first two months showed a 63 percent increase in our trade deficit over the previous year. Our exports actually fell by 12 percent in the first month; exactly the opposite of what we were told would happen by our leaders.
This year has shown a continued trend of growing deficits. Several months of trade data since the implementation of KORUS are available from the Census Bureau. In each month our trade deficit with South Korea has grown. August 2012 is particularly striking, as our trade deficit more than doubled from the year before – $737 million to $1.59 billion.
Our annual trade deficit under the KORUS FTA is and will continue to be much higher than prior to this misguided agreement. Our leaders, many under pressure from the sponsors who fund their campaigns, want us to believe what they tell us, not what we see.
We say we have a "free trade" agreement with South Korea, as if that is supposed to be a good thing, but the KORUS FTA is actually stacked against us.
Our domestic auto industry is one area that will certainly see disastrous effects from this agreement. While the KORUS FTA is supposedly a "free" trade agreement, American automakers will continue to get limited access to the small South Korean market, while South Korean manufacturers enjoy full and open access to our large auto market.
The Overwhelming Lopsided Difference
U.S./Korean Vehicle Trade Flow Even Before the South Korean Agreement
They Shipped Us
We Shipped Them
The most we have shipped to them in any one year was 15,651 – yet the deal gives South Korea unfettered access to the U.S. car-buying market. In the last five years South Korea has shipped us an average of 595,640 cars per year. In that same time, we've shipped them an average of 11,022 cars per year. That is a 54-to-1 negative ratio, and it will now dramatically increase.
The United States needs to recognize that the free trade agreements we sign benefit only a small minority of wealthy individuals. They reap the benefits by outsourcing our manufacturing and making huge profits from cheap exported labor, while other Americans lose their jobs. Our government continues to push these agreements despite the fact that they are horrendous for our country.
To Pull Ourselves out of this irresponsible, downward economic spiral we must recognize what harm this is doing to us and immediately cancel this and all other disastrous "free trade" agreements.
Our Politicians Should Have Known Better
There is much misunderstanding surrounding the KORUS FTA (Korean-U.S. free trade agreement) and its fine print, making it easy for America to be deceived. America's balance of trade deficit is averaging $600 billion a year, on top of our $14 trillion national debt. While our economic problems seem dire now, now that this new FTA has been signed matters will only get worse.
By passing this agreement, Congress may very well have driven the final nail in our economy's coffin.
With the KORUS FTA now signed into law, it will not only further deplete our manufacturing base, it will also take international trade, banking and finance out of our control, putting it the hands of the foreign World Trade Organization.
That we have even considered this disastrous trade agreement is to have contemplated economic suicide.
The following points detail why the KORUS FTA is so disastrous for America:
- 1. According to the Economic Policy Institute the KORUS FTA will now dramatically export more jobs – not our products, as promised – and dramatically increase our trade deficit.
- 2. Korea has gained unhindered liberties to change U.S. law. Even prevailing wage laws can be challenged (see chapters 11, 13 & 19 of the agreement).
- 3. The U.S. government has lost the ability to regulate the American banking industry.
- 4. KORUS will now facilitate takeovers of U.S. companies by Korean companies.
- 5. Korea will be able to insource low-wage jobs to the U.S., but American companies will NOT get the same access to South Korea.
- 6. The textile tariff reductions are not equal, American textile workers have been put further in harm's way.
- 7. The beef industry will suffer now as Korea will be able to limit our inspection of Korean beef imports, despite constant refusal by Korea to import U.S. beef.
- 8. More foreign food is now projected to legally enter the U.S., increasing our chances of importing even more unchecked toxic food as no more than 2 percent is ever checked.
- 9. "Buy American" food support has become illegal as a trade impeding barrier (see chapters 2 & 6 of the agreement).
- 10. South Korea will continue to use import barriers that the U.S. does not use.
- 11. U.S. taxpayers can now become liable to South Korean companies for lost profits (see chapter 4 of the agreement).
- 12. There is nothing in the KORUS FTA to stop South Korea's currency manipulating practices.
This is another "free trade" agreement that has taken away our right to do what is in the best interest of our country. Under the conditions of this "free trade"agreement, it will not be possible to accumulate anything other than a massive trade imbalance with South Korea. By selling to us below our cost, they are by design forcing our companies to move out of the country, sell out or go out of business – which has already been happening at an accelerated rate. The KORUS FTA will only hasten our demise.
Our leaders have NOT made things better for the U.S. by signing this deal. Americans must start asking the important questions – namely, who are our leaders working for? Signing a deal like this can only mean our leaders are not reading what they are signing or are working for the best interest of multinational corporations, special interest groups or foreign powers.
In 2010, our trade deficit with Korea was $10 billion. In 2011, by August our trade deficit was $8.5 billion and growing which is extrapolating to an even higher trade deficit than 2010. Everyone should monitor our trade imbalance as it grows with Korea. We predict that it will only continue to grow with the newly signed KORUS FTA.

The Jervis McEntee Diaries - December 9, 1885
Diary Entry:
Wednesday, Dec 9, 1885 A rainy, dismal day. I am always thankful I am not obliged to be in the streets such days. I painted all day on Mrs. Warrens picture and think I have secured a mellow, agreeable tone. At 6.30 I went up to Jas. S. Warrens and dined and spent the evening. Later I went to the Artists social meeting at the Academy but did not stay long. I dont care for these occasions as I once did, there are always so many new faces. Then I came to my room and having received a note from Mr. Israel Jones Supt. of the House of Refuge telling me he would send Katy Burns up on Saturday by the City of Kingston, I wrote to Sara to meet her and enclosed Mr. Jones' note.

The Jeanette Lancaster Alumni Professor in Nursing
Linda Bullock
In August 2010, Linda Bullock joined the UVA faculty as the first Jeanette Lancaster Alumni Professor in Nursing. Alumni and friends funded the chair to honor the former dean of the nursing school, who stepped down in 2008 after 19 years.
Ms. Bullock, who comes to Charlottesville after having served as a nursing professor at the University of Missouri, also serves as director of the school's Ph.D. program.
"My goal is to build on what's already here, mentor these students and continue to build up research capacity in the School of Nursing," she said.
Her own work is certainly a model for young researchers. Beginning as a master's student, she was the first to provide empirical evidence of the connection between domestic violence during pregnancy and low infant birth weight. Her current research focuses on the effects of stress on children's health.
She received her bachelor's and master's degrees in nursing from Texas Women's University¸ and her doctorate in public health from the University of Otago, New Zealand. She was the first nurse appointed to the faculty of the Christchurch School of Medicine. In 1997, she joined the University of Missouri Sinclair School of Nursing, becoming professor of nursing in 2003.
She is a fellow of the American Academy of Nursing and a member of the Missouri Nurses Association, Sigma Theta Tau International, the American Public Health Association, the Nursing Research Consortium on Violence and Abuse, and the Nursing Network on Violence and Abuse International. From 2006 to 2010, she was a member of the Nursing Science Children and Family study section at the National Institutes of Health.
The Jeanette Lancaster Alumni Professorship in Nursing Fund was created in 1999 with funding from the School of Nursing Alumni Association, the Theresa A. Thomas Memorial Foundation, members of the School of Nursing Advisory Board and friends of Ms. Lancaster. It honors the Nursing School's former dean as well as alumni of the school.

Quick Report: Fulham 2-1 Hamburg
(GSM) – Fulham have dramatically advanced to the Europa League final after coming from a goal down in the second half to beat Hamburg 2-1 on the night and on aggregate.
Mladen Petric fired the visitors in front with a critical away goal in the 22nd minute when he curled in a phenomenal free kick beyond Fulham goalkeeper Mark Schwarzer from 30 yards.
Hamburg seemed totally in control until just before the hour mark, when hobbled Fulham striker Bobby Zamora was replaced by Clint Dempsey.
Eleven minutes later, Fulham pulled the score level when Simon Davies scored a fine goal on two touches – the first to elude Guy Demel and the second to slot past goalkeeper Frank Rost.
Then, in the 76th minute, Fulham completed the turnaround off a corner kick when Davies effort deflected out into the path of Zoltan Gera for a calm finish.
Ruud van Nistelrooy missed a late shot in stoppage time, but Hamburg had been completely deflated by the goals.
Fulham now advance to the Europa League final which is held this season, ironically, in Hamburg.

Welcome to Pasar Malam, Balinese Market Restaurant
Watch a short introduction to our Balinese village night on https://vimeo.com/67706759
Built on the success of Bumbu Bali, Restaurant & Cooking School, we continue with our efforts to bring Balinese food another step closer to the interested gourmet travelers and to people who enjoy sampling the delightful flavors of another culture. Only a few hundred meters away from Bumbu Bali and within our very own Bed & Breakfast accommodation, Rumah Bali, we have crafted a market restaurant in a magnificent Balinese setting. Each building is designed following the principles of ancient Balinese architecture. Each pavilion represents a building one would find within a village community, including home compounds, temples, town meeting halls, gambling pavilions or areas where people simply get together and rest. Imagine sitting in the midst of a Balinese village market enjoying the best dishes our island has to offer, and at the same time being confident you are in a perfectly clean and safe environment and being thoroughly looked after by hospitality professionals.
Group events and meetings
Obviously it is always our aim that you leave either of our two restaurants totally satisfied and that we were able to serve you not only a delicious meal but also were able to provide a dining experience that will remain with you as a fond memory for a long time to come. No need to say that we would be honored and delighted to welcome you and your friends back for another dining experience in the near future. Or that you wish to return with your company or friends and celebrate in a private venue where we can serve and look after you just like in our restaurants. With a seating capacity for up to 140 guests the venue is big enough to maintain the (I took out a word here) spirit and mystique of Bali.
Gala dinners and theme parties "Balinese Village Night"
This is what we do best. Showcase Balinese culture where you and your guests can not only savor delicious Balinese cuisine, but also can experience Balinese customs in a magical traditional village surrounding. Activities are individually tailored to your needs and can include dance performances, offering and rice cake making, coconut bowling, distilling of Arak and fermenting of Rice Wine, stone and wood carving, painting or the weaving of ikats. There are countless possible activities that can be orchestrated in Pasar Malam that we always tailor to your needs and requirements.
Your special moments will never be the same
- Weddings, Anniversaries, Birthday parties
- Company dinners, meetings and team building exercises
Balinese Cooking Classes
These popular classes are often used as an alternative program for spouses. If organized for smaller groups then timing and dishes prepared can be tailor made to the needs of the client. As part of our regular program we first visit the markets where we purchase the ingredients for the day's class followed by the preparation of least 20 recipes.
Balinese Cooking Competition Maximum 35 participants
The day starts for this very entertaining and motivational event as early as 6 am in the lobby of your hotel. Participants will be divided into groups of 7, and are given instruction in Balinese language of what to do next. This is a market visit where guests need to find and purchase 12 unusual ingredients like a live chicken and a frog,(not for consumption) shrimp past and seaweed, shrimp-paste, and many other unusual delicacies. After returning to Rumah Bali each group then needs to prepare and present eight recipes in the thorough fashion of a Balinese master chef. The challenge ends with an elaborate presentation by each group and then of course with a feast of flavors where participants get a chance to savor all the many delightful flavors prepared during the competition. There will only be one winner, but everyone will have lots of fun and this is guaranteed.

CINCINNATI — Kroger Co. here last week said that reports it was looking in to real estate deals in India were "erroneous." A Kroger spokeswoman told SN the retailer was trying to determine how it was named in an article published in India's Economic Times newspaper saying that representatives of the company had met with real estate companies for joint venture projects in India. "We think they may have gotten us confused with another company," Meghan Glynn, the Kroger spokeswoman, told SN. ...

STAPLES (12-1, Class LL runner-up)
Friday, Nov. 16 at McDougall Stadium, Trumbull
- JAMES FRUSCIANTE, WR/DB, Staples — Few state players are as versatile as the Staples senior. The three-sport star caught 37 passes for 870 yards and nine touchdowns, made 62 tackles, had four interceptions and two sacks to lead the football team to last year's FCIAC title and Class LL championship game.
- NICK KELLY, RB/DB, Staples — A key component the large and talented senior class at Staples. The tailback does a little bit of everything. He had 67 tackles and four interceptions on defense, plus 800 total offensive yards and 17 touchdowns.
- PETER GESUALDI, HB/DB, Darien — With almost 900 all-purpose yards and 17 TDs and eight interceptions on defense, the senior returns as one of the FCIAC's most dynamic players. Darien figures to rely on him heavily in its drive for a second FCIAC title in three years.
- TAYLOR OLMSTEAD, LB/TE, Greenwich — With the graduation of Shane Nastahowski, the hulking safety and tight end takes over as the brawn and enforcer for the 2012 Cardinals, who likely need to run the table to win an FCIAC title and reach the state playoffs.
- CONNOR ROWE, QB/DB, Ridgefield — Versatile senior threw for 1974 yards and 18 touchdowns while running for 314 yards and five touchdowns in 2011. He will be the focal point as the Tigers hope to win their first league title since 1982 and advance further through the playoffs. He's headed to Bryant with teammate Andrew Barton next year.
JOEY ZELKOWITZ, RB, Staples; HENRY BALDWIN, QB, Darien; ANDREW BARTON, LB, Ridgefield; DUKE REPKO, WR/DB, New Canaan; LIAM O'NEIL, QB, Greenwich; SHAQUAN HOWSIE, RB, Trinity Catholic; KYLE VAUGHN, OL/DL, Staples; VINCENT DERAMO, Central; WILL LOCHTEFELD, OT/DT, Darien; LOUIS HAGOPIAN, RB/LB, New Canaan; TOMAR JOSEPH, RB/LB, Norwalk; MATT D'ANDREA, OL/DL, Darien; NICK ROBERTS, QB, Trumbull; GRADY LYNCH, WR/DB, New Canaan; MAX GARRETT, QB/DB, Fairfield Warde; ALEX McMURRAY, WR/DB, Greenwich; XAVIER HARDISON, QB, Central; MIKE LaSALA, C, Wilton; DANNY O'BRIEN, LB, McMahon; TED BOSSIDY, QB, New Canaan; NICK PULASKI, FB/LB, St. Joseph; COREY CHAFEE, WR/DB, Danbury; NICK PELLETIER, WR/DB, St. Joseph; FRANKIE COLANDRO, LB/RB/WR, Stamford; CHRIS MIRRA, WR/LB, Ridgefield; KYLE JORDAN, RB, McMahon; BRETT PHILLIPS, QB/DB, Wilton; COREY BARRETT, OL/DT, Norwalk; DANNY PAOLINO, WR/S, Trumbull; DARREN JACKSON, CB, St. Joseph; ELIJAH DUFFY, QB, Danbury; VOCHAN FOWLER, QB, Bassick.
STAPLES — Every star of consequence that had a hand in scripting last year's out-of-nowhere league title and state championship game run returns. The Wreckers have exceptional skill, led by speedy Zelkowitz, Frusciante, Kelly, and Massie; and have superior brawn led by Vaughn and Lonergan. Show us their equal. We challenge you.
- GREENWICH — Olmstead and McMurray highlight a class embittered by last year's loss to Staples in the Thanksgiving/FCIAC title game. That kept a worthy Greenwich squad out of the Class LL playoffs. This year's schedule is even lighter (no New London), so the Cards can't afford one slip, losing QB Liam O'Neil for half the season with a broken finger wasn't what the Cards needed.
- RIDGEFIELD — The Tigers overcame losses to Greenwich and Norwalk to qualify for the LL playoffs, but they were force-fed a spoonful of humble pie when Staples ran 'em over in the quarterfinals. They're a year older and, with stars Gravitte, Rowe and Barton at the controls, are primed to correct those setbacks, beginning with Greenwich at Tiger Hollow in Week 1.
- DARIEN — The Blue Wave went 8-2, but was once again undone by off-field shenanigans prior to the finale at New Canaan and saw their playoff dreams dashed. Darien still looks formidable with seniors Baldwin and Gesualdi and hulking linemen D'Andrea and Lochtefeld. If they can take care of business early, home games vs. New Canaan and Staples will make or break their year.
- NEW CANAAN — The stars of yesteryear are all gone. In its place is a group of no-names anxious to continue the program's run of six straight state championship games. New Canaan's schedule, once again, gives it ample time to work out the kinks. By default, the Rams should be knocking on the playoff door come November. We'll see what they're made of then.
- ST. JOSEPH — Quite a few players return from last season's team-in-transition that finished 4-6. The Hogs, who are now two years removed their run of back-to-back state titles, are back on the rise. They have size and veterans. Are they a player in the FCIAC race? We find out Week 1.
- STAMFORD — The Black Knights lost star players Bryan and Barry Boderick and all-state safety Chandler Foster. But coach Bryan Hocter says this group is the fastest he's seen at Stamford. Considering the wealth of talent to star at Boyle Stadium over recent years, that's saying something.
- CENTRAL — They're the FCIAC's version of cicadas. After a period of several years, Central seems to rise from the ground and wreak terror upon the FCIAC season. It's last whirlwind tour was in 2009, when it was within minutes of winning its first FCIAC championship. Almost three years later, are these Hilltoppers ripe?
- TRUMBULL — Until last year's team crashed and burned at 2-7, the last time a Trumbull team won just two games in a season was 1968 — the late Jerry McDougall's second year as coach. Just two years removed from a state championship game appearance, coach Bob Maffei believes his team of no-names will rebound in a big way. "You'll know who they are," he said.
- GREENWICH at RIDGEFIELD (Week 1: Sept. 14) — Just like last season, this game virtually makes or breaks either team's season. The winner gets an extreme inside track at playing FCIAC championship game and a possible state playoff berth. The loser will be climbing Mount Everest just to get into the state playoffs, especially Greenwich. For a Week 1 game, this one should be a virtual playoff atmosphere.
- ST. JOSEPH at DARIEN (Week 3, Sept. 29) — St. Joseph will have already played a huge opening game at Staples in Week 1. This will be Darien's first test of the year. This matchup usually provides fireworks. We'll see if the Cadets can contend or not.
- STAPLES at DARIEN (Week 7: Oct 27) — The game might be upstaged by the two big one going on the SCC, Xavier-Hand, but this midseason clash will be the turning point of the FCIAC football season.
- NEW CANAAN at ST. JOSEPH (Week 6, Oct. 20) — Everybody's wondering about these two teams, perhaps New Canaan more than St. Joseph at this point. This will likely be the Rams' first big game of the year, and a barometer for what to expect from them come November.
- STAPLES at GREENWICH, (Week 11: Nov. 22) — Regardless of whether this mega Thanksgiving Day matchup serves as the league championship, it will have major state playoff implications. Somebody's going home without much of an appetite.
Let there be lights: Staples installed lights at its football field, signaling the end of Saturday afternoon football games. Darien, St. Joseph and Trinity Catholic remain the only league teams without permanent lights at their fields. … Non-Confs: This is the final season of open dates for the nine "large" FCIAC schools, five of them found non-conference games: Trumbull (vs. Branford, Week 1); Danbury (vs. Hamden, Week 2); Westhill (vs. Franklin-Mass., Week 5); Stamford (vs. NFA, Week 6); Harding (vs. Hamden Hall, Week 10); The teams playing nine-game schedules are Greenwich (Week 3), Staples (Week 4), Central (Week 7) and Norwalk (Week 8). …New coaches: Former Bassick coach Frank Marcucio takes over at Westhill for Dick Cerone.
- Divisions — West: Staples; Central: Ridgefield; East: Darien
- Championship — Staples over Ridgefield
By all accounts, this is Staples' league. The Wreckers came into last year as one of the FCIAC's most inexperienced and left as the best team in the conference. They have all the pieces and are one of the few state teams with a shot to unseat Xavier in Class LL. Greenwich is a solid pick for No. 2 with Taylor Olmstead and Alex McMurray returning. But losing QB Liam O'Neil for half of the season could be devastating, especially if the Cards can't take down Ridgefield in Week 1. It'll be an arduous climb after that. We like Ridgefield because of their veteran leadership, but the Tigers must prove they can win a big game beginning Friday. The whole tone of the FCIAC season will hinge on that first game. Elsewhere, New Canaan is a complete unknown at this point. Luckily, their schedule leaves plenty of room for error. Darien has an impressive collection of returning stars. The Blue Wave's success will come down to that Week 5 game vs. Staples. Look for either Greenwich, Darien, Ridgefield or New Canaan to face Staples for the league title. If there are going to be any surprises — a like last year's Norwalk — we think it'll come down to teams like St. Joseph, Central, Trumbull, Stamford and maybe Wilton. But, in the end, we think Staples has far and away the league's best team. They're the league's hope for a state title.
- Greenwich QB O'Neil breaks finger, out 5-6 weeks
- Tigers on hunt: Ridgefield hungry for title
- Staples primed for another playoff run
- Trinity Catholic welcomes back Howsie
- McMahon looks to run this season
- Wilton hoping it can surprise
- Norwalk won't sneak up on teams
- Westhill hopes its on road to improvement
- Stamford built for speed
- Danbury Hatters built for speed

Hwy. 54 W. postal annex may close
The U.S. Postal Service (USPS) like many corporations continues to look for ways to cut costs. Though no decision has been made, the USPS carrier annex that opened a few years ago on Ga. Highway 54 just west of Fayetteville is being considered for closure.
USPS Corporate Communications representative for the Atlanta District Michael Miles said Tuesday the closure of the Hwy. 54 carrier annex building is up for consideration and is being studied, though no decision on the issue has been made. There is currently no specific timetable on a potential closure, Miles added.
If eventually closed, USPS staff might consolidate with the Fayetteville Post Office, said Miles.
The carrier annex on Hwy. 54 that opened several years ago serves as a distribution facility and does not function as a customer service outlet.

Great review, my thoughts immediately went to Anchorman with the flute as well. This album surprised me, been listening to it regularly and I do think Irina is a talented gal, bringing both that flute and some very interesting vocal work to the album. "Cause Follows Effect" is where she brings it and is definitely my track of choice.
Written by BitterCOld on 28.04.2013 at 07:22
Thanks, and if the review is "great" it's only because the album drew it forth. been in a writing-rut, most of my recent reviews have taken 12-15 listens to adequately develop some thoughts. this review was pretty much written on the second listen through, it just pulled it out of me. so as with any "good" review of mine, far more credit goes to the band.
I do hope more people take the time to check it out.
Written by Susan on 30.04.2013 at 05:08
Excellent review. Took me several weeks too long to finally listen. I'm amazed and impressed. This has top 10 albums of the year potential. It's different, yes, but it's complex, fascinating, and so well composed, which is what makes it such a stand-out for me. High quality musical composition like this doesn't come around every day.
Also, the mood and atmosphere has a sort of dominant quality to it. Just a quiet confidence, knowing that I'm paying attention and almost daring me to turn away. Quite interesting.

Remembering Constitution Day
Every year Americans come together on the Fourth of July to celebrate the birthday of our country – the day when our Founding Fathers signed the Declaration of Independence. This commemoration rightfully remembers the stirring words that formed the rallying cry of American freedom:
"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness."
These ideals of the Declaration, inspiring as they are, cannot be realized without a government structure that emphasizes the rule of law. Understanding the greatness of America requires an appreciation not just of the origin of our ideals, but of the form of government that makes these ideals a reality. In this light, the date of Sept. 17 – Constitution Day – is just as important as July 4.
Constitution Day commemorates the day in 1787 that the delegates to the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia signed the Constitution. In a world where at the time monarchy represented the established order of the day, the countercultural vision behind the Constitution – that we are a nation of laws, not men – was nothing short of revolutionary.
The rule of law promotes and guarantees our individual freedom. That concept may seem counterintuitive because the law is often seen as a restriction of our freedom to do as we please. But the rule of law fosters freedom because it protects the rights that freedom says is our due. Without these safeguards, the prospect of liberty dies on the deathbed of disorder.
The application of this founding principle means that those who serve in positions of public trust always remain answerable to something higher than themselves. As a judge, I do not get to make up my own rules in deciding the cases that come before me. I must follow the law. The oath I swore upon becoming State Court Judge of Fayette County makes this duty explicit. It reads:
"I swear that I will administer justice without respect to person and do equal rights to the poor and the rich and that I will faithfully and impartially discharge and perform all the duties incumbent upon me as State Court Judge of Fayette County, according to the best of my ability and understanding and agreeably to the laws and Constitution of this state and the Constitution of the United States. So help me God."
Oaths such as these are important because they proclaim before all citizens that the rule of law supersedes the arbitrary rule of any human leader. The Framers of the Constitution believed so much in the power of oaths that they required all federal and state officeholders – legislative, executive, and judicial – to pledge their fidelity to follow that which the Constitution commands.
The legitimacy of government power comes from this obligation of public officials to only use that power in ways sanctioned by the Constitution. When public officials ignore their oath and go beyond the bounds of their prescribed authority, they threaten the very liberty that they are sworn to protect.
If the Constitution can mean whatever a particular government actor wants it to mean, then the oath to uphold it becomes meaningless. The rule of law is replaced by the whim of man.
As citizens, it is our obligation to ensure that those who act in the name of the Constitution do not erode its protections. Part of this duty includes instilling in our children a working knowledge of how the Constitution promotes the cause of freedom.
Constitution Day offers a reminder for each of us to fulfill that responsibility. The security provided by law is only as strong as our shared understanding of the limits that law places on government action. Faithfulness to the plain language of the Constitution produces this type of consensus because it sets a fixed standard readily accessible to all.
Key to the concept that we are a nation of laws is the notion of equality – the belief that "all men are created equal." No one is above the law, and no one is so low that they cannot avail themselves of the law's protection.
This promise of equality contained in the Constitution has special meaning for me. My grandparents emigrated from China to the United States in the 1910s and ended up in Augusta, Ga., where they opened a small grocery store near the Medical College of Georgia.
They did not know English, the culture, or anything about the legal system. Yet they instilled in their children a love of this country and the understanding that our freedom and form of government are things to be cherished. I am proud that my father and uncle served honorably in the military to protect that freedom.
I doubt that my grandparents ever dreamed they would have a granddaughter who would be a lawyer, much less a judge. But that possibility underscores the unique greatness of America. By protecting the rights that the Declaration of Independence declares to be God-given, the Constitution provides each of us the freedom and opportunity to pursue our own destiny.

Game Overview
The AL East race all comes down to this on Wednesday night. The Baltimore Orioles will be on the road to take on the Tampa Bay Rays in the rubber match of the final series of the year for these two teams.
Last year, drama happened on Game 162 for the Orioles and the Rays. This year, Baltimore is hoping that it once again all goes its way. The O's still have their AL East dreams alive, and they could still even be the top seed in the American League if the chips fall right. In an ideal situation, Baltimore wins today, gets a New York Yankees loss, and then wins Thursday's one-game playoff to win the AL East. If that's how it pans out, the road to the World Series will go through Camden Yards. A loss in this one, and the travel schedule will be atrocious for the O's. They'll have to go to either Oakland or Arlington for Friday's Wild Card game, and if that game is won, they'll have to get back to Camden Yards for the first two games of the ALDS. Manager Buck Showalter puts all of that in the hands of the young Chris Tillman on Wednesday. Before July 4th, Tillman was nothing more than a has been in the Baltimore organization; a man who had his shot in the bigs before and just never panned out. Now though, he is 9-2 with a 2.78 ERA, and he has been one of the best pitchers in the league over the course of the last two months.
Tampa Bay got some help last year on this day from the Orioles, who beat the Boston Red Sox to pave the way for Evan Longoria to blast the most famous home run in Rays history. This year, the men from the Trop are going to hope to send Baltimore on the road. Manager Joe Maddon knows that, in spite of the fact that his team isn't going to make the playoffs, there is nothing to be ashamed of for a team that will win either 89 or 90 games. The Rays were one of the best five teams in baseball this year, and they were arguably the best team in the league from about September 15th on, but the AL East schedule parlayed with some unfortunate injuries and untimely hitting kept the team on the wrong side of the playoffs. Jeremy Hellickson will finish off the season tonight for the Rays, and he is looking to build upon his 9-11 mark and his 3.20 ERA.
The Orioles were the kings of Game 162 last year, but they are going to be trumped by the jokers. This is a game that the Rays routinely win, and they'll get the job done behind a great effort by Hellickson tonight to give the Yankees the AL East title. Tampa Bay 6 – Baltimore 2
