Tractor beam." Captain James T. Kirk spun toward his chief engineer.
Montgomery Scott turned from the engineering console and shook his head forbiddingly. "At this distance? Through that atmosphere? Impossible, sir."
"Their shields are failing." Spock was angled over his science station console viewer, its informative blue glow playing over his sharp features. "At the current rate of descent, their hull will be crushed in four minutes, sixteen-point-nine seconds."
"Mister Scott, set shields for atmospheric running." Kirk turned back toward the helm. "Sulu, close the distance. I want that ship pulled out of there."
"Aye, sir." Sulu's lithe fingers danced impressively across his console. At navigation, Ensign Chekov answered Sulu's movements. Moments later, the navigator said, "In range, Captain."
Kirk kept his eyes on the main viewscreen. Tension made his shoulders knot up. First contact with a new warp-capable race was exhilarating, but the distress call dampened any enthusiasm and caused concern. "Spock?"
"Radiation from the gas giant prevents a detailed scan, but sensors indicate storm currents are pulling them deeper."
Sulu must have felt his captain's eyes on him because he began reporting the closing distance. "Forty thousand kilometers...thirty thousand..."
Scotty positioned his hands over the proper controls. "Almost."
"In range..." Sulu gazed deeply into his scanner. "Now!"
"Scotty -- "
"Tractor beam engaged, sir."
Enterprise's tractors emitted blue energy beams that encased the alien vessel and pulled it slightly closer.
"Reverse course," Kirk ordered.
The engines struggled as Enterprise pulled the other ship through the tempestuous primordial gases. Kirk gripped the arms of his chair and seemed to transfer his will to the tractor beam to help tug the mass behind them.
On the main viewscreen, gas clouds eventually gave way to the dark vacuum of space. Kirk watched the starscape intently until the red lights on the helm began to flash. Chekov instantly checked his console, as the captain watched over his shoulder.
"Two vessels, incoming." Chekov looked back at Kirk expectantly but the captain flew out of his seat and toward the rail near the first officer's station.
"Unknown design. Scanning energy signatures..." The Vulcan glanced up, making eye contact with Kirk. "They're charging weapons."
"Uhura, hailing frequency."
Slender brown fingers made well-practiced motions across the communication console. Uhura nodded quickly. "Open, sir."
"This is Captain James T. Kirk of the Federation Starship Enterprise. We are responding to a general distress call and engaged in rescue operations -- "
Uhura removed her earpiece and instead read her console screen. "They're responding, sir -- mathematically."
"Universal replies, Uhura." Kirk stepped up between his officers, but kept his eyes on the main viewscreen. "Spock?"
"Class eleven shields and weak disruptor cannons. And yet..." The first officer turned away from his scanner to impress upon Kirk the irony of the situation. "They appear to be warning us to leave."
"Don't they have sensors?" If they did, Kirk thought, they were fools. "We outgun them a hundred to one."
"Confirmed, Captain," Uhura said. "The message is a warning."
"Explain we're on a rescue mission."
Uhura checked the readouts on her board and shook her head. "I think they understand that, sir. Their message reads: 'Leave them to die.' "
"They're firing on the damaged ship," Spock reported.
Kirk ordered Scotty, "Extend our shields."
The chief engineer shook his head. "We'll lose the tractor beam, and they'll slip back into the atmosphere, sir."
"Another salvo, and the alien ship will lose cohesion," Spock said.
Kirk returned to his command chair and pounded the comm button. "Bridge to transporter room. Lock on alien vessel in tractor and beam all life-forms aboard."
As he watched the small vessel fade into the gas that surrounded the planet, Kirk wished he was at the transporter controls. He looked from the main screen to the speaker on the arm of the center seat and back again -- until he saw a bright flare against the sweeping maelstrom of colors. The ship was gone. Kirk's jaw tightened until he heard Kyle's report from the transporter room: "We have them, sir! Three individuals."
A sigh rose in Kirk's throat but he wouldn't let it escape. Instead, he asked Spock, "The hostiles?"
"Breaking off, Captain. Retreating toward the inner star system."
Sulu's hands hovered on his console, ready to engage a course that Chekov had no doubt already plotted. "Pursuit, sir?"
"Negative. Continue scans and maintain red alert. Uhura, security to transporter room. Have medical standing by." Kirk hurried to the turbolift. "Spock, with me. Scotty, you have the conn."
"Jim, I don't think we'll need them." Doctor Leonard McCoy's tone was laced both with annoyance at the security team near the doorway and pity for the three unconscious souls in sickbay.
Familiar with McCoy's attitude and recognizing that the three aliens didn't pose much of a threat, Kirk sent the guards away. As they retreated out of sickbay, the captain got a closer look at the most colorfully dressed alien who appeared to be the leader.
Dressed in a medium-blue tunic and loose gray trousers, the being to whom McCoy attended was humanoid, slight of build with a bone-white complexion under a pinkish fuzz. He had no hair exactly, but the fuzz on his head was thicker and crest-shaped. He had large eyes that bulged even when closed, and flat nostrils without a pronounced nose -- an interesting evolution.
A nurse removed a device from the being's wrist, and Kirk noticed that the even distribution of fuzz made it seem as if a pale child had been crossbred with a peach.
"How are they?" Kirk asked as McCoy scanned and reviewed the bio-bed monitor.
"Coming around, I think," the doctor grunted.
Before them, the peach man stirred, his bulbous eyes fluttering open. He was so delicate that Kirk wondered about his planet's gravity and makeup. Did his people, like the Vulcans, hide incredible strength in their slender forms?
The alien flailed his arms then pointed and gestured while looking pleadingly at McCoy and the nurse.
"Is he trying to speak? Is he injured?" Kirk came closer.
"He's not trying to speak," McCoy said, glancing at his Feinberg scanner. "No vocal cords."
"Captain, I believe he wishes to use the device taken from his wrist." Spock gestured toward the apparatus on the table to the left of the alien.
Kirk nodded and said, "Analysis."
The Vulcan scanned the device with his tricorder, then picked it up and inspected it closer. "A computerized communications device. No inherent threat."
Kirk made a gesture, ordering that the unit be returned to its owner. The alien sat up in bed, and relief flushed his pale countenance as Spock returned it to him. The alien placed the device on his wrist and began gesturing again. This time, however, a flood of tones emanated from the device.
The other two aliens began to stir. They looked panicked and unsure at first, but then, suddenly and perfectly synchronized, they grew calm and centered. Kirk found it curious, and filed away the thought for later consideration.
The universal translator began interpreting, replacing bleeps with words once the Enterprise's computer learned the alien language.
"Can you understand us?" Kirk asked the alien who ad come to first.
The peach man took in a breath, not quite a gasp. Kirk wondered if the reaction was the equivalent of a nod, but then the alien gestured at him. The translator took over: "Understand I. You make sound. Hear I and communicate."
Kirk nodded slowly and the alien mimicked the gesture as if attempting to duplicate a greeting.
"You who?" the alien asked, looking around the room and addressing the question to them all.
Kirk took a step forward and said, "James T. Kirk, captain of the Starship Enterprise, my first officer, Mister Spock, and Doctor Leonard McCoy. We responded to your distress call."
The alien looked from Kirk to the others -- including his own people -- then back to the Enterprise captain.
His slight features, which seemed even smaller in relation to his bulbous eyes, were excited and relieved. "I possess no knowledge of you, but you interesting very very. I called Berlis Aknista from Isitra Colony First. Excuse language barrier. We communicate thoughts. When travel space, device necessary for deliver information give you."
"Telepaths, Captain."
"Yes, thank you, Mister Spock."
"Do you have a written language?" Spock asked Berlis.
"Writing recent. No need past."
Spock nodded as if confirming a theory to himself.
"But you developed a manual language?" McCoy asked.
"Yes. Not all people think together. Some alone, single -- disabled. They signs created -- ideas communicate difficult but possible."
The syntax wasn't alarming to Kirk, though it was already improving thanks to the universal translator. There must have been something in the way Berlis was gesturing or the manner in which the device interpreted these gestures into tones that the translator still didn't understand. With time it would improve.
Kirk wasn't certain if he should avoid moving his hands when he spoke. He was concerned about gesturing in a manner Berlis and his people might find insulting, or that would accidentally convey the wrong thing, so he kept his arms at his sides and spoke as evenly as possible.
"Someone wanted you dead. Why?"
Berlis's face wrinkled with confusion as he said, "Why?"
"That's what we'd like to know. Why?"
Berlis and the other two aliens simultaneously looked at Kirk anxiously, as if the captain would be the one to soon supply them with an answer.
Could such naïveté be genuine? Kirk and Spock exchanged a glance, but the Vulcan offered only a curious expression.
Pushing out a breath, Kirk steeled his gaze. "Who attacked you?"
"Our people from Isitra Zero: homeworld."
Spock's eyebrow lifted in surprise at the information, and McCoy, even as he continued to scan one of Berlis's comrades, looked genuinely insulted on the aliens' behalf.
"And..." Kirk struggled to get the next question out, unsure of just how far he could go before seeming rude. "You don't know why they'd want you dead?"
"I know not," Berlis told him. "I Colony First leader I now return home from meeting with Zero council."
"Was there a disagreement at your meeting?" Spock asked. "Perhaps a heated one?"
Berlis made a quick synchronized movement with both hands. "No."
Kirk waited a long moment for Berlis to elaborate, but the alien said nothing more. Finally McCoy broke the silence.
"Jim, we should let them rest." The doctor gently pushed Berlis down against the bio-bed's pillow. "Their oxygen levels are still pretty low."
"Well, you're safe for now," Kirk assured the three aliens, and found himself nodding to Berlis. Then the captain smiled slightly, unexpectedly, and shared another brief glance with Spock.
Spock merely looked at the captain with interest. Kirk couldn't quash the feeling that there was something strange about Berlis. He did not think it was because of the nonverbal communication; it wasn't the first alien -- or human -- he'd met who used manual language.
After a second's hesitation, the captain nodded once more, and turned and left. Spock followed behind.
Once they were in McCoy's office, Kirk turned to his first officer. "Opinion, Mister Spock."
"While it seems unlikely that Mister Berlis would be unaware of the reasons his own people might wish him dead, he seems forthright."
His lips pursed into a thin line, Kirk grudgingly grunted in agreement but added, "There's something...odd about Berlis and his people. I can't put my finger on it."
"Perhaps your human intuition is at work," Spock gibed, as McCoy joined them.
"How lucky for you to not be burdened," the doctor said.
Kirk allowed himself a slight smirk that pulled up one corner of his mouth.
"Indeed," Spock replied.
"How long before we can talk to them again, Bones?"
The doctor's shoulders rolled in a lazy shrug, as he shook his head. "I'll let you know."
"As soon as Bones gives the word, move Berlis and his associates to quarters," Kirk told Spock. "I want you to talk with him again. Find out all you can -- about their colony, the area, anything else that might help us figure out what's happening."
Spock, clasping his hands behind his back, nodded, saying, "Understood."
"Do we return Berlis to his colony," Kirk asked, "or hand him over to his homeworld's authorities? We choose the wrong answer, and our actions might cause a civil war."
"Agreed, Captain."

In Goldilocks and the Cops, the "crazy" blonde intruder doesn't get away. Momma Bear calls the police, who handcuff Goldilocks and charge her with breaking and entering, vandalism and "general uncontrolled behavior."
A parent complained when the story was taught in a third-grade class at an East Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania school. Miguel Velez said the story is offensive to police and includes inappropriate language ("crazy"), reports the Pocono Record. Board member Ronald Bradley, a former police officer, also disliked the story's portrayal of police.
I remember as a child thinking that Goldilocks had no right to go into someone else's house, eat their food and break their chairs.

This product is a really good piece of gadgetry and I would definitely reccommend one of these made by Pyramat, but definitely not persuade you to buy one made by X Rocker as I bought one and even though wireless there were to many radio waves to work and there help line said just use the wire that connects to the TV and the rocker which meant i spent £120 for a special wireless one then not be able to use wireless.
Well recommend Pyramat PM420W Sound Rocker.

Marketing is a pretty free flow industry where you can do whatever you want.
You can say whatever you want, more or less, without getting in trouble for it. But you probably want to consider practicing responsible marketing. It seems more people value honesty than ever before, and there are a lot more ways you can honestly market to customers.

Hi ,
i want to import into an excel 2 other excels each separately in a sheet.
Like in the 05featuredemo.inc.php example - include "05featuredemo.inc.php";
I made separately seets and import on each, but it does not work , even if i try to import on the same sheet the 2 .
Please give me an example of doing this ,
Thanks Tibi
05featuredemo.inc.php doesn't actually merge any excel files, it's just used as a standard PHP Include.
If you want to merge sheets from two workbooks into a single workbook, you need to load both workbooks, then use the addExternalSheet() method to copy sheets from one of those workbooks into the other, ensuring that the worksheet titles are unique.

Everyone knows that Sprint (NYSE:S) has a large amount of debt that is weighing down its balance sheet. At the end of the second quarter, Sprint had over $21 billion in debt on its balance sheet, more than half of the company's liabilities. In fact, the $21.2 billion plus in debt is 2.3 times the amount of equity on Sprint's books. As Sprint now sells Apple's (NASDAQ:AAPL) iPhone, the company is working to build out and improve its current network, and that includes shutting down the old Nextel network. That has proven to be very costly, and Sprint has taken on almost $3 billion more in debt over the past year.
Both Sprint and its investors believe that things are improving. Sprint's revenues are increasing nicely, and the company does appear to be stealing some customers away from Verizon (NYSE:VZ) and AT&T (NYSE:T) with its unlimited talk, text, and data plans. With the new iPhone out now, Sprint will look to take even more market share in this space, despite the fact that its network isn't up to par with its competitors, not yet anyway. The good news is that Sprint raised its forecast at the Q2 report, and it does expect margin improvement as it dumps the old network. Net losses are expected to be big in 2012, but improve in 2013, and that could help Sprint's situation. So let's look at where things stand, and what Sprint needs to do to get out from under this mountain of debt.
First, the following image shows Sprint's debt picture at the Q2 report, taken directly from the company. This does not include any debt changes since then, which I'll detail later on.
During Q3, Sprint announced made two debt announcements. First, Sprint announced a new debt issue, $1.5 billion due in 2020, carrying a 7% interest rate. The company then announced it was retiring two of the debt issues related to Nextel Communications. It was retiring $472.9 million of the 6.875% notes due 2013, and $1 billion of the 7.375% notes due in 2015. They still will have about $1.1 billion of the 2015 notes due. In terms of interest costs, it's almost a wash, with the company saving about a million dollars per year, chump change when you consider the size of Sprint's operations.
After these debt deals are factored in, the debt due chart looks like the following for Sprint:
*Other includes debt due in 2022, 2028, 2030, 2032, and $81 million in capital lease obligations due during 2014-2022.
The good news for Sprint is that it has no more debt due this year, and just $300 million due in 2013. Beyond that, the debt load increases with at least $1 billion due each year until 2022. Sprint had $6.76 billion in cash and short term investments on the balance sheet at the end of Q2, so they shouldn't have a problem paying off any debt in the next year or two. But they do need cash to fund the network expansion and daily operations, which is why they haven't retired any other debt yet.
So that is why 2013 is the key year for Sprint, in my opinion. Sprint is still expected to post big losses in the second half of 2012 as they continue the network build out and shutting down of the Nextel network. They also should see Q3 gross margins decline over the prior year period because this is the first Q3 they are selling the iPhone. The interesting quarter will be Q4, since we'll have the first iPhone comparable quarter for Sprint. Now, most of Sprint's losses are due to huge depreciation expenses, which are non-cash charges. So while net losses decrease cash flow from operations, depreciation charges are added back. However, as Sprint's net losses improve going forward, you won't have as much depreciation add-backs, so there will be somewhat of an offset. While analysts currently forecast Sprint to lose $1.68 per share this year (almost $5.1 billion), the forecast for 2013 is a loss of $0.98 (about $3 billion). The real question is how much will cash flow improve.
In recent times, Sprint has seemed to retire outstanding debt about 6-12 months before it is due, so I would think that by the end of 2013, they would have retired the roughly $1.65 billion due in 2013 and 2014. But I would also recommend that Sprint looks a little further out in the maturity curve. Why? Well, most of Sprint's debt has interest rates in the 6% to 8% range. However, Sprint has $5.2 billion worth of debt, none of it due until 2017 at the earliest, that carries interest rates of 9% of higher. That includes a $1 billion notes offering, due in 2021, that carries an interest rate of 11.5%. That means that Sprint is paying $115 million in interest costs per year on that issuance alone, excluding tax benefits.
I don't think it is realistic to expect Sprint to retire $10 billion of debt by the end of 2013 (without issuing new debt). But if Sprint can improve things as we are expecting, would it be unrealistic to expect $3 billion to $5 billion perhaps? I'm guessing the $1.65 billion I mentioned above is retired sometime this year or next, but then I would focus on either retiring, or at least restructuring, some of that higher interest rate debt. Interest rates shouldn't be too bad, because Sprint just took out $1.5 billion at 7%. You can't tell me that they can't work on getting that 11.5% one down or out.
So where does that leave Sprint stock? Well, Sprint closed Wednesday at $5.04, about 12.5% below the recent 52-week high of $5.76. But it certainly is well off the 52-week low of $2.10. The rally in Sprint shares has to do with the expectation that conditions are improving, and that was certainly true when we got the second quarter results. For investors looking for a speculative type play for a small piece of their portfolio, Sprint could be a nice add. There are certainly several risks still involved, and if conditions worsen the debt problem could get much bigger. But if Sprint is able to achieve the goals it has set, they should be able to get this debt pile down a little over the next 12-18 months. That should send shares higher.
Disclosure: I am long AAPL and may initiate a position in Sprint over the next 72 hours. I wrote this article myself, and it expresses my own opinions. I am not receiving compensation for it (other than from Seeking Alpha). I have no business relationship with any company whose stock is mentioned in this article.

The TOP DRAWERS are right up the alley of anyone who's a fan of edgy, bluesy British Invasion bands like The Yardbirds, Pretty Things and Rolling Stones. Sounding like some long-lost band that would have been tearing up London clubs in the summer of 1966, The Top Drawers are all about energy and good old-fashioned musicianship. more info[Upload Show Photos] // [Add Video] // [Upload Poster]

How I fixed my i9300 S3 that was freezing every 15 minutes...[WORKED FOR ME]
So, I spent many hours of forums looking for a way to solve this issue.
My S3 would just freeze randomly and I would have to reset it. It happened most when I had WIFI/Mobile Data enabled.
After carrying out the steps below, my S3 has not frozen since I carried the steps out (2 days) and is functioning faster than it used to. It's literally lightening speed right now.
1) Disabled WIFI Power Saving mode (WPS MODE)
2) Connected the S3 to my computer and cleared up space.
- I had so many photos and videos that it was using more than 90% of the space my S3 had.
- I noticed and deleted a 1.2 Gb size photo which was nothing but a corrupt file. No idea what it was or how it got there.
- I emptied this media folder by copying it out into my computer
3) All of a sudden it was fast, furious and has never hung since !
Let me know if this worked for you

Re: How I fixed my i9300 S3 that was freezing every 15 minutes...[WORKED FOR ME]
People (including me) have even formatted their phones even then it didn't solved the problem. So its definitely not the space :/.
And regarding wps option i remember even when i was facing frequent wifi disconnects in the beginning i used to change this and it started working until i restart. So don't know what all functionality has this hidden function in our phones has got ..
Anyways i have given my phone for motherboard replacement, will get it tomorrow morning.

Nope, tried everything. It will be OK for a while, then it will start freezing again, mine did that numerous times. The only way to get it fixed for good, is to send it back to Samsung, where mine is at the moment

For all you moms and dads getting ready to send off your well brought up children to college next fall – watch out. Professor Donna Freitas writes in her new book, "Sex and the Soul," that you may have missed the part of the campus tour which dealt with the rampant sex culture at college, including theme parties like "CEOs and Prostitutes." She wrote about her extensive research and findings in yesterday's WSJ, and every parent should see this!
Donna will be my guest on the radio show tomorrow, so be sure to tune in.
As always, thanks for stopping by!

Facebook Marketers Focusing Their Attention Outside of Social Media
For a long time, Facebook and YouTube have ruled the digital kingdoms of marketing and advertising. With their enormous popularity, they have been easy and obvious venues for companies interested in getting their brands noticed. Experts are now saying, however, that the marketing game is changing again, as it is wont to do. Facebook is cracking down on pages that are "like" and "share" hoarding and companies are finding it's more effective to point their visitors back to their websites.

DALLAS -- Luis Tiant will be held up to history's judgment again Monday, when the Hall of Fame's "Golden Era" Committee will consider anew whether his career is worthy of inclusion in Cooperstown.
Tiant's career was found wanting in the 15 years he was on the ballot in voting by eligible members of the Baseball Writers Association of America. He received 30.9 percent of the votes in 1988, his first year of Hall eligibility, but never approached that figure again, receiving 18 percent of the vote in 2002, his last year on the ballot.
But now, Tiant, who turned 71 on Nov. 23, receives a fresh look as one of eight players and two executives named to the "Golden Era" ballot. Any candidate receiving 75 percent of the votes cast by the 16-member Golden Era committee will earn induction to the Hall. The 10 candidates were selected by the Historical Overview Committee that made its selections from managers, umpires, executives and long-retired players whose career impact was realized during the 1947-1972 time period.
Tiant doesn't have any of the numbers that typically warrant automatic inclusion into the Hall, like 300 wins or 3,000 strikeouts. He was 229-172 with a 3.30 ERA in the course of his 19 seasons, and he struck out 2,416 batters.
But Red Sox historian Dick Bresciani, in a letter he sent to members of the voting committee, has highlighted some of Tiant's remarkable achievements in the course of a 19-year career, eight seasons of which were spent with the Red Sox. That's one more season than Pedro Martinez spent with the Red Sox (1998-2004).
Martinez announced this weekend his intentions to make his retirement official, and while he, too, lacks the counting numbers that voters expect of Hall inductees, his undisputed greatness when he was at the height of his powers beg for his inclusion at the Hall.
Bresciani makes a compelling case that the same should apply for Tiant, beginning with his 1968 season for the Cleveland Indians, when he posted a 1.60 ERA, lowest in the American League since 1919. Tiant went 21-9 that season, threw nine shutouts, held opposing hitters to a .168 average and allowed just 5.295 hits per nine innings, the second lowest average in major league history, behind Nolan Ryan's 5.261 in 1972.
The 1968 season was known as the Year of the Pitcher, when the numbers were skewed dramatically in favor of the pitchers, leading MLB after the season to lower the mound. Bob Gibson had a 1.12 ERA in the National League that season, and Carl Yastrzemski won the American League batting title with a .301 average, the lowest average ever by a batting champion in either league.
The ERA in the AL that season was 2.98; Tiant's ERA was 1.38 lower than the league average. In 2000, when Martinez's ERA was a career-best 1.74, the league average ERA was 4.92, meaning Martinez's ERA was a stunning 3.18 below the league average.
But Tiant's greatness was not confined to a single season. In 1972, his second season with the Red Sox, he posted a 1.91 ERA, lowest by a Sox pitcher since the end of the deadball era in 1917. He is the only American League pitcher in the last 65 years to post two seasons with a sub-2 ERA.
Tiant won 20 or more games four times and ranked in the top six in Cy Young Award voting three times. He finished in the top 10 in strikeouts five times, was in the top nine in shutouts seven times, and was in the top eight in complete games six times.
Bresciani notes that with 49 career shutouts, Tiant has more career shutouts than 46 Hall of Famers. He threw three or more consecutive shutouts four times in his career, and only Hall of Famer Walter Johnson can match Tiant's feat of two streaks of 40 or more consecutive scoreless innings.
Tiant's 229 career wins, while well short of the 300-benchmark, are still more than 26 Hall of Famers. And just as Curt Schilling's Hall candidacy will be boosted by his big-game reputation, especially in the postseason, Bresciani makes a similar argument for Tiant. In games he pitched in September and October, Tiant had a record of 57-25, a .675 percentage, with a 2.74 (compared to his overall career ERA of 3.30). That doesn't include his epic work in the 1975 postseason, when he went 3-0 with a 2.65 ERA in four starts, three of those starts coming against the Big Red Machine, the Cincinnati Reds, one a complete-game shutout in Game 1, and a gallant, 163-pitch 5-4 survival in Game 4 that many consider among the grittiest games ever pitched.
And if style points were a consideration, Tiant would be a slam-dunk, his swiveling hips, back-to-the-hitter, herky-jerky motion and baffling array of pitches thrilling a generation of Sox fans who grew up to the sounds of "Loo-ee, Loo-ee.''
The other names on the ballot: Buzzie Bavasi, Ken Boyer, Charlie Finley, Gil Hodges, Jim Kaat, Minnie Minoso, Tony Oliva, Allie Reynolds and Ron Santo.
The selection committee is comprised of Hall of Famers Hank Aaron, Al Kaline, Ralph Kiner, Tom Lasorda, Juan Marichal, Brooks Robinson, Don Sutton and Billy Williams, executives Paul Beeston, Bill DeWitt, Roland Hemond, Gene Michael and Al Rosen (retired) and veteran reporters Dick Kaegel, Jack O'Connell and Dave Van Dyck.

Album out 10/6. Hear it now, buy it now (or later).
Awesome, sounds great! Looking forward to picking it up:)
Man, he sounds like Mick Jagger circa 1972.
My vinyl copy arrived today with the bonus 7″. I have listened to it three times in a row and I keep hearing something new I like about this album with each successive spin. "Freak Train" is the stand-out track for me right now, but "Blackberry Song" after the flip is a close second. Outstanding recording and I can't wait to see KV/Violators in November here in East Atlanta. Check out this awesome LP, peeps!
What tracks on the 7″? Picture sleeve? Different from the other Matador 7″ Thanks

How Tax Progression Affects Effort and Employment
Within an efficiency wage framework, we study the effects of two revenue-neutral tax reforms that change the progressivity of the labour tax system. A revenue-neutral increase in both the wage tax and tax exemption and a revenue-neutral change in the composition of labour taxation towards the tax with the smaller tax base will lead to the same results: they moderate wages, workers' effort, effective labour input and aggregate output. Whether employment rises or falls, however, depends in both reforms on the magnitude of the pre-reform total tax wedge. The larger this tax wedge is, the more negative is the impact of reforms on workers' effort. A larger total tax wedge increases the negative effect of tax progression on labour productivity and thus thwarts the positive employment effect of wage moderation.

*Previous reports suggested that music hit maker Pharrell Williams was in the middle of a legal battle with fellow musician will.i.am. Allegedly will.i.am filed a claim against Pharrell regarding a copyright issue.
Yesterday (June 26) details regarding the lawsuit hit the net. Pharrell has launched a new brand "I Am Other." Will.i.am's claim is that Pharrell is dangerously close to the phrase "I AM" in which Will currently owns the copyright to.
"The registration of the mark . . . is likely to dilute the I AM mark and the WILL.I.AM mark," the document reads. (Rolling Stone)
The suit came as a surprise to Williams, who has since released a statement on the issue.
"I am disappointed that Will, a fellow artist, would file a case against me," Pharrell says in a statement to RS. "I am someone who likes to talk things out and, in fact, I attempted to do just that on many occasions. I am surprised in how this is being handled and I am confident that Will's trademark claims will ultimately be found to be as meritless and ridiculous as I do."
However, Will.I.Am has denied the lawsuit, taking to Twitter to claim he never sued Pharrell.
i.am not suing @Pharrell and I never was… what i.am doing is #iamangel TRANS4Ming inner cities with #STEAM tools… http://t.co/n7GOlWnV5T — will.i.am (@iamwill) June 26, 2013
Coincidentally Will.i.am faced legalities of his own with a company who sued him for over $2 million last year. The company said they inked a deal back in 2010 to launch a line called "I.Am.Clothing" in which Will backed out on. According to the company, the Black Eyed Peas name was to be used for the clothing line and Will agreed to design and market the brand as well. However, Will says the deal was over and out already.
Pharrell has popularized his "I Am Other" brand for years now. He teamed up with United Entertainment Group to launch "I Am Other" as a property with content that will highlight new musicians, filmmakers, designers, artists and innovators. Its platforms will include online, mobile and retail channels, TV shows and films.

Homeless man in Paris gets his dog back
Amid a police investigation and a public outcry, animal rights activists have returned the puppy they seized from a homeless man in Paris last month, according to news reports.
Activists from Cause Animale Nord, an animal rights group based in Lille in northern France, snatched the puppy in September from a homeless man on a street in central Paris. Members later said the homeless man had drugged the dog and was using it to assist him in begging.
The incident was caught on camera and, since being posted on Facebook and elsewhere, it has been viewed more than 1.7 million times.
A petition on the website Change.org calling for an investigation into Cause Animale Nord's actions has been signed by nearly 250,000 people.
A police inquiry was launched a on September 25, according to The Telegraph.
The president of Cause Animale Nord — seen taking the dog on the video — was brought in for questioning, but released after promising to return the dog to its owner.
The group had placed the dog in foster care, and was offering it for adoption for a fee of €175.

French animal rights group wrestles puppy away from a homeless man in Paris
A French animal rights group is being criticized after a video surfaced of its president and at least two cohorts taking a puppy away from a homeless man in Paris.
The French newspaper La Voix du Nord identified the man in the video who took the dog as Cause Animale Nord president Anthony Blanchard.
He and another activist from the Lille-based group can be seen wrestling the man and taking his dog away.
The homeless man can be seen chasing after them, trying to to get the yelping dog back. Blanchard hands the dog off to what appears to be a third accomplice, who runs away with it.
More than 225,000 people have signed a petition to launch an investigation into the group's action and have the dog returned to its owner.
Blanchard wrote in a post on Cause Animale Nord's Facebook page that the dog was not being properly cared for and that it had been drugged by the man to stay calm.
He said there were signs the dog was being mistreated, including dilated pupils and abnormal crying, though in the video the only crying the dog does is after it is seized by Blanchard.
Blanchard says the snippet of video unfairly paints the group in a negative light.
We'd say he managed to do that all by himself.

Rescue group signs contract on Vick house
A Pennsylvania-based dog rescue organization and advocacy group has reportedly signed a contract to buy the former estate of Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Michael Vick — headquarters of Bad Newz Kennels, a dogfighting operation.
The group, Dogs Deserve Better, says it hopes to turn the 4,600-square foot house and 15 acres of property in Surry into an animal sanctuary, where rescued dogs could be trained and rehabilitated.
The organization, which has been at the forefront of the movement towards banning the tethering and chaining of dogs, has 45 days to raise enough money to cover the asking price of $595,000, according to the Virginian-Pilot in Norfolk.
Monica Severy, the group's local representative, said it has raised more than $50,000.
"The dogs will live in the house, and we'll use it for training and for meetings," Severy said. "There will be somebody there all the time, living there."
The house has been empty for three years. When Ace and I visited in August, the sign posted out front listed it as both for sale and for rent.
The white brick home has five bedrooms, four and a half baths, a pool and a basketball court.
Severy said the group chose the property for the symbolism of turning a place where dogs were made to suffer into a place of refuge for similar dogs. Fifty one dogs were seized from Bad Newz Kennels, and investigators discovered eight murdered dogs on the property once owned by Vick, who this past weekend was given the key to the city by Dallas Mayor Pro Tem Dwaine Caraway.

261 dogs seized from rescue organization
More than 250 dogs were confiscated from a rescue organization in Polk City, Florida, and its operators were arrested.
The Polk County Sheriff's Office says 261 dogs were seized from Mid-Florida Retriever Rescue. Diane and Charles "Chuck" O'Malley were charged with more than 200 counts of misdemeanor animal cruelty and are being held at Polk County Jail.
The sheriff's office received a tip at around 3 p.m. Wednesday that about 100 dogs were being mistreated at the O'Malley home, said Carrie Eleazer, a sheriff's office spokeswoman.
Animal control officers went to the home Wednesday night and asked to see the dogs. The couple wouldn't allow animal control staff into the home, but brought out one dog at a time to be inspected, Tampa Bay Online reported.
The couple showed 117 dogs to authorities, but by then it was midnight and they said they would not show any more, officials said.
The sheriff's office obtained a search warrant and returned to the home at around 2 a.m. Thursday, confiscating all 261 dogs that were at the home — 35 of them puppies. The dogs were mostly Labradors and Labrador mixes.
Sheriff's officials said many of the dogs were malnourished and had fleas, parasites and tartar build up on their teeth.
"It was deplorable living conditions, even for humans," Eleazer said.
The Facebook page for Mid-Florida Retriever Rescue said the nonprofit, founded in 2005, is dedicated to placing "Labrador retrievers and other working dogs in loving permanent homes."

Through a Dog's Eyes
As the founder of one of the country's largest service dog organizations, Jennifer Arnold has spent the last 20 years breeding, training and matching service dogs for people with disabilities or special needs.
Now she has documented that mission, which began when she was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis at age 16, according to the San Francisco Chronicle.
"I remember not wanting to leave the house," she said. "I felt very awkward, scared. It surprised me how frightened I was to be left alone. You feel so vulnerable."
Arnold's book, "Through a Dog's Eyes," comes out in September. A PBS documentary based on the book and narrated by Neil Patrick Harris debuts April 21.
Arnold and her family decided to set up their own service dog training school when, as a teenager, she was diagnosed and found herself in a wheelchair. She applied, but was so far down the list that the family began making plans for their own service dog academy.
Three weeks later, though, her father, a surgeon,was hit and killed by a drunken motorcycle driver. Arnold and her mother spent the next 10 years raising funds, and incorporated on Dec. 31, 1991. They started training their first dog the next year. Canine Assistants is now among the largest service dog providers in the country.
"Through a Dog's Eyes" looks at Arnold's treat-based teaching methods, five of the people to which the organization has provided dogs and how the dogs have helped them regain independence.
One of them is Bryson Casey, 30, of Kansas City, Mo., who served in Iraq as a captain with the National Guard. He came home and was in a car crash that left him a quadriplegic. He and his dog Wagner bonded instantly.
Arnold is now 46, her disease is in remission and she is married to the academy's staff veterinarian.
In the last 20 years, Canine Assistants has given away 1,000 dogs; there is a waiting list of nearly 2,000. The organization does not charge for the dogs, and will pay for food and vet bills for the life of the dogs, if needed. The recipients are asked to do community service in return.
Canine Assistants breeds its own dogs, and trains rescue and shelter dogs. There are 150 dogs in training year-round. About 5 percent fail to make the program and are placed as pets.
It costs about $22,000 to train a service dog, Arnold said.
The book can be pre-ordered from Random House.

Is Rescue Ink breaking up, or "evolving?"
As fearless, outspoken, and in your face as they portray themselves, you'd think the gang at Rescue Ink would be a little more forthcoming about whatever it is that is going on within the organization, where, by some accounts, nearly half of the members — representing God only knows how many tattoos — have pulled out.
Instead, other than a vaguely worded official statement, they've left it up to their fans to figure out just who has left, and why.
Despite the continuing success of their National Geographic Channel TV show, and a recently released book, there are reports — mostly on Facebook — that four members have left the organization and the TV show, pretty much in unison, to pursue other interests.
The only official confirmation I could find was a statement by Rescue Ink member Mary Fayet posted on the group's Facebook page of Joe Panz:
"Rescue Ink is an ever evolving animal rescue organization dedicated to battling animal abuse and neglect and assisting other animal-welfare agencies and shelters do the same. With much regret, we announce that some participants of Rescue Ink have chosen to depart the organization and as such we wish these departing members the best of luck in their future endeavors and thank them for their countless hours of dedication promoting the mission of Rescue Ink.
"Please be assured, however, that Rescue Ink, thanks to our founding members, countless dedicated recruits and volunteers' remains stronger than ever and will continue to promote the Rescue Ink mission."
The statement doesn't say who has left. But, from what I can gather from the Facebook pages of Rescue Ink's original members at least four — Eric, Angel, Robert and Batso — have departed.
Batso Maccharoli reports on his Facebook page: "THE INK OF RESCUE INK, THE ELDEST AND ORIGINAL MEMBER BATSO, HAS FLOWN THE COOP. I have decided to no longer be affiliated with Rescue Ink. I will continue to keep balance and harmony in my life by doing what I love most – helping."
Rescue Ink, a nonprofit animal rescue organization based in Long Island, formed officially in 2008, and their TV show, "Rescue Ink: Unleashed," premiered last year.

Sims was state diving champion, impressive painter
Sylvester Sims always painted - he once said he knew how to paint before he knew his ABCs. But it was the graceful image of Sims' 16-year-old body arched in a swan dive, plunging into a pool from a diving board, that sent him into the history books, the surprise state diving champion of 1944.
It was front page news - the first African-American in Wisconsin to win the title.
Sims was a champion diver, a Golden Gloves boxing champion and a semipro football player, but it was painting that endured for Sims, 83, who died Saturday of cancer.
As a boy growing up in the tight-knit old Bronzeville neighborhood on the near north side, Sims took inspiration from the paintings on the walls of the neighborhood church, St. Benedict the Moor.
Like most in the six-block neighborhood, Sims grew up poor. Everyone knew everyone else, and nobody locked their doors.
"Didn't nobody have nothing for you to take, really. Come in and eat your food. But outside of that they had a screen door with a nail bent to hold it closed," he told WUWM-FM (89.7) for its "Project Milwaukee" series in 2006.
Sims had moved here with his family from Louisiana in the 1930s. His grandmother was here.
With seven brothers and four sisters, there wasn't always money for painting supplies. When he couldn't afford to buy brushes, he chewed the ends of matches and used them to paint. Sims studied art at St. Benedict School and on Saturdays at the old Layton School of Art.
As a child, he spent entire summer days at city pools. They weren't segregated, he said in the WUWM interview, but African-Americans at the time knew which pools they'd be welcome at. He taught himself to dive by reading a Red Cross book.
Sims took the state diving title, but a shot at the Olympics was derailed when Sims was hit by a car while riding his bicycle, according to Reuben Harpole, a lifelong Milwaukeean who has contributed to books on Bronzeville's history.
His injuries kept him from the Olympics but not from swimming. Harpole has vivid memories of Sims as a lifeguard at the Lapham Park swimming pool. Kids would stand outside the fence and watch him dive and swim.
"Who could dive like that? His dives were smooth. He'd go in the water straight," Harpole said. "He was one of the greatest divers I'd ever witnessed. He would do a double jackknife off of the high dive board. He could do twists. And swimming - none of the other lifeguards could catch up to him."
If more diving medals weren't in his future, other athletic pursuits were. Sims boxed, played semipro football across Wisconsin with a team known as the Apex and, later, the Milwaukee Brown Bombers. He was paid $15 to $20 a game.
Life in Bronzeville
His life centered on Bronzeville where he grew up, and he often spoke wistfully of Walnut St., its lively entertainment section.
It was while working as an usher at the Regal Theater that he met his wife, Betty. She was a popcorn girl. They were married for 50 years.
Like many artists, Sims did something else to make a living. He was a truck driver for 40 years - delivering goods for 25 years with Ph. Orth Co., an Oak Creek bakery and institutional foods processor, and then for 15 years with Miller Brewing Co.
His works frequently reflected the vibrant life of Bronzeville's heyday, when big names like Dizzy Gillespie, Lionel Hampton and Billy Eckstine performed there - and stayed with locals, unable to stay at downtown hotels.
In 1999, Sims took out an old photo of Walnut St. as it was in 1947 and made a detailed charcoal drawing of it. The drawing, "Old Walnut Street," later was displayed at the Wisconsin Black Historical Society. To this day, society director Clayborn Benson recalls the work. "He captured the spirit of Walnut St., gave it real life, for those of us who loved Walnut St.," he said.
Sims found material in people who captured his eye. "I like the expressions of people," he told the Journal Sentinel in 2000, before an exhibit at a Brady St. gallery.
He was among the featured artists in the 2005 "The Wisconsin Contemporary African-American Art Exhibition," put together to coincide with the NAACP convention held here.
Sims also was known to tutor artists, and to give works away - to charity, or just to an admirer.
But these efforts came after a dry spell for Sims, who had abandoned painting for an 18-year stretch after the 1974 shooting death of his son, Robert, a guitarist, in Los Angeles, in a case of mistaken identity.
"I would often paint with my children," he told the Catholic Herald in a 2009 interview. After his son's death, it was too painful.
He returned to painting around the time he retired, after a pastor told him, "The Lord loans us out, and he calls us back," Sims told the Catholic Herald. "I took great comfort in that."
In later years, he painted in a home studio.
Sande Robinson, a trustee of the Milwaukee Art Museum and president of its African American Art Alliance, said Sims' portraits were vibrant and dramatic.
"I like the images that he chooses of African-American children and African-American genre painting," she said.
For Sims, it was a simple matter.
"I feel good when I paint," he said in the Catholic Herald interview. "I feel God has gifted me, and as we're all here for such a short time, I want to accomplish what I can."
In recent years he kept at work in his home studio. In a corner was a framed poster-size photo of that swan dive so many years ago, his arched body hanging high over a crowd of upturned faces.
Survivors include three sons, Sylvester Jr., Terry and Matthew; brothers Granville, Jerome and Jackie; and a sister, Rose Mary Holly.
