O'Connor: Giants give Stadium a gutless goodbye
EAST RUTHERFORD — On the grim march to his getaway car, escaping a game straight out of Giants Stadium's infancy, a game his father had endured so many times, John Mara begged for leniency from a profession not inclined to give it.
"Please let me suffer in silence," Wellington's son asked a reporter on exit.
Mara didn't need to say any more, not after Harry Carson did all the talking for him. Carson is to the Giants what Rafer Johnson is to the Olympics — a chiseled and dignified face of better and simpler times.
Outside the losing locker room, in the wake of a 41-9 loss to the Panthers that defaced a doomed building, Carson ripped the 2009 Giants for lacking pride and intensity, and for fraternizing with an enemy that was pounding them into oblivion.
"When guys are whipping your ass, you don't get buddy buddy with guys at halftime," said Carson, who was near the sideline when he saw some Giants doing just that.
"When you're getting your ass kicked at home in front of your fans, you should be angry. … I don't see the same pride among many guys who are here right now that many of the older guys had."
So when the Giants introduced Carson's teammate, Lawrence Taylor, at the half, they should have trotted out Flipper Anderson of the Rams, Herman Edwards of the Eagles and every other wretched hobgoblin rising out of the swampland's past.
On its final Giants' day, this building deserved so much better from its lead tenant. So did the old-timer fans who go back to Yankee Stadium and the Polo Grounds days, men and women priced out of the new place and sacrificed at the altar of NFL greed.
What a cowardly effort at the worst possible time. When the 2005 Giants were routed here by John Fox's Panthers, inspiring Tiki Barber's candid (and correct) assessment of Tom Coughlin's coaching, at least the home team had its excuses.
Eli Manning was a playoff novice, and Carolina wasn't half bad.
But Sunday wasn't just Exhibit A in the case against Bill Sheridan, a defensive coordinator who can't be fired fast enough. It was an indictment of every prominent decision maker in the house, from Mara to Jerry Reese to Coughlin to the franchise player taking the snaps.
This was a 6-8 Panthers team manhandled by the Jets on this very field only four weeks back. This was an opportunity to rub some dirt on the injuries, to make a legitimate playoff push, to validate Reese's preseason claim that this roster was deeper and stronger than the one that beat the unbeaten Patriots in the Super Bowl two years back.
More than anything, it was an opportunity to honor a ballpark that had earned a lot more respect than the 24-0 halftime deficit gave it.
"To me, it was embarrassing," Carson said, "because Carolina has a pretty good team, but they're not that good.
"There's something missing from this [Giants] team that I can't really put my finger on. It's one of those intangible things. They've got talent, but I don't know if they necessarily have the heart.
"I don't really see a lot of life from these guys. … I'm not saying they don't have pride, but I don't really see where the pride is coming from."
It sure wasn't coming from the defense, which chose to play a game of two-hand touch. Jonathan Stewart, a backup, ran for 206 yards on a day when Jimmy Stewart would have done the same.
Miracle at the Meadowlands, meet Massacre at the Meadowlands. Manning opened the game with an impressive drive and a touchdown pass, a score nullified by a holding call on Madison Hedgecock. Mario Manningham fumbled three plays later, and the Giants flat-out quit on the spot.
"We didn't do a good job of tackling today," said Kevin Dockery.
You think? The Giants spent the entire game as if they were trying to avoid injury, as if they still were trying to get Ray Handley fired. Dockery was the worst offender, so Charmin-soft in the secondary that he shouldn't take the field in Minnesota.
Dozens of Giants were available to share the blame. Receivers dropped passes and linemen refused to tackle or block. Brandon Jacobs managed a grand total of 1 yard on six carries.
The fans who had come for a merry farewell already were jeering early in the second quarter. They were left to cheer a Carolina delay-of-game penalty near the end of the half, if only to celebrate the temporary reprieve.

Since 1983, the CBMR has grown from a single office for the founder to a permanent suite of offices occupying nearly 8,000 square feet and, at its peak, a full-time staff of ten plus several part-time employees and work-study students.
The CBMR Library and Archives is devoted to collecting materials about black music the world over. It was established in 1990 and opened to the public in 1992; it currently holds more than 5,400 cataloged books and dissertations, 11,000 sound recordings in all formats, 4,500 scores and pieces of sheet music, and over 100 archival collections including personal papers or organizational records that contain research materials, published and unpublished music scores, manuscripts and typescripts, audio-visual recordings, paper-based and photographic materials, ephemera, publications, and oral-history interviews. The CBMR Library and Archives also holds several ethnographic collections, including three from documentary filmmakers and two containing musical bows (instruments).
To date, the Center's publications list includes more than 50 issues of Black Music Research Journal, 5 issues of Lenox Avenue: A Journal of Interarts Inquiry, 5 issues of CBMR Monographs, 46 issues of CBMR Digest, 6 issues of Kalinda! newsletter, and 4 issues of Stop-Time! newsletter. During 1999, Fitzroy Dearborn Publishers released the Center's International Dictionary of Black Composers. The Center also co-publishes with the University of California Press the Music of the African Diaspora book series.
Since 1987, the CBMR has developed and presented performances of four critically acclaimed professional ensembles, including the Black Music Repertory Ensemble, Ensemble Kalinda Chicago, Ensemble Stop-Time, and the New Black Music Repertory Ensemble. The ensembles present lecture-demonstrations and performances in Chicago and on tour and cover the widest possible range of black music styles, genres, provenances, and time periods.
The Center has organized National and International Conferences on Black Music Research, which have been held in Chicago, Washington, D.C., St. Louis, New York, New Orleans, and Trinidad and Tobago. Some conferences have been held jointly with other organizations, such as the American Musicological Society, The College Music Society, the Society for American Music, and the Society for Ethnomusicology, among others. Of special note are international symposia on Black Vocality in 2013 and 2014, organized by Gianpaolo Chiriacò, scholar at the University of Salento and cofounder of CBMR Europe.
Since 1995, the CBMR has hosted eighteen Rockefeller Resident Fellows and is the only organization ever to have won three four-year cycles of this funding. The Center also awards small grants in honor of Coleridge-Taylor Perkinson to support researcher travel to come to the Center to use the collection.
The Center also develops special research and performance projects, such as Project Kalinda, Project Stop-Time, the unique Interarts Inquiry Initiative and the Black Music and Linguistics Initiative, and has hosted dozens of colloquia, forums, and seminars. Beginning in 2013, the CBMR began a Faculty Fellows program to support research and art projects, new curriculum and course development, and new scholarship in black music.

Permiting Questions: Will they report non-related permitting violations?
Here is the issue. I recently built a little shed that most likely will infringe upon my setback requirements if I ever tried to get a permit for it. Since it is just a shed, with no floor. I'm fine with either tearing down when I sell the home, or leaving it for the next owner if they want it.
However, on a totally separate note. I'd like to "finish" my garage a bit. This involved adding some electrical, adding some support beams for the drywall ect... I originally wanted to do this right and get a permit, however, you most certainly would see the shed if anyone came to inspect the Garage.
Does anyone know how this typically works, will they "report" any other items they see that isn't related to the permit being applied for?
I Live in Los Angeles, CA.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
It's hard to say, so you'll have to let us know how things like that work in LA, but it seems likely that it will come up. Regardless, I would approach it headon, i.e. properly, and see what happens. Particularly with structural changes and electrical work involved, you most likely are only making it worse for yourself in the long run by prooceeding without a permit simply to avoid issues with the shed. And, paricularly since you mentioned setback possibly being an issue, the matter of the shed is apt to come on its' own at some point anyway. While someone driving by can't necessarily tell if you pulled a permit, they can surely see it, and have some idea as to the approximate setback. As long as you're going to be working on the garage anyway, maybe it would be good to just connect a shed to the garage, if that would put you in compliance.
The only way to get a definitive answer is to call the building dept. However, I can see why you would not want to.
In my experience as a homeowner for 23 years, I have found local code officials to be the homeowner's best friend. The guys I have dealt with in the past have been polite, helpful and extremely knowledgeable. They have made suggestions to improve my DIY projects and they have protected me from errors made by a contractor during a major renovation. They do not go out of the way to nitpick but will of course readily intervene where safety is an issue. So based soley upon my experiences, I would say that you have nothing to worry about but I have to add that I don't live in your community.
Finally, if there is a problem (which I doubt), couldn't you get a few strong friends to move the shed further from the property line since you described the shed as small and without a floor?
The only way you would have a problem would be if your neighbor filed a complaint and forced the municipality to take action, in my opinion.
Get the permits for the garage work and don't worry about the shed. Most inspectors have a full plate and could care less about setback issues on sheds. They are more concerned with safety issues and code violations on the project at hand. Here in IL, I have had work completed on several projects that required permits. Never have I had an inspector ask about other items on the property. But that doesn't mean that it doesn't happen. Sometimes it's better to ask for forgiveness than permission. Please ignorance if they do and ask them what they think you should do.
thanks guys. I guess I'll try calling ... Typically in LA it's hard to talk to a person ... if possible at all. Otherwise, I guess I'll just take the risk and have them come out when ready. I'm thinking of adding some "obstructions" to the wall of the shed so it's not easily visible from the street (lattice and some vine plant) ... In 1950 when the home was built, they left a 20x7' section running along the side of the garage and the wall (paved). It was wasted space so I put it up there. I couldn't move it anywhere.

It's not a simple procedure to go through but for many it's the only answer to a blood disease. Bone marrow transplants can only happen though if people agree to be a part of the registry. One 12 year old boy has taken up the cause. Houston Public Radio's Capella Tucker reports he's not looking to help his own cause, but rather is doing it for others.
The bone marrow donor drive is being done for people like Houston Police Sgt Jeff Headley who was diagnosed with leukemia 20 months ago. Treatments have not been working. He learned a few weeks ago that a bone marrow transplant is his only option.
"Doctor's have given me 18 months to live, and beyond that 18 months… I've got four little kids and that's not enough. So, thank God I found a match and there is hope for me, but you know it's really given me a purpose for the other 3,000 people out there right now who are waiting on a match and don't have one."
Headley is helping 12 year old Pat Pedraja who also has leukemia. Pedraja is responding to treatment but knows many others with blood diseases don't have the same success. That's when a bone marrow transplant becomes necessary. Pedraja is touring the country with a simple message.
"I'm telling everyone it's easy. It's a cheek swap and then they could be the one to save a life."
The first responder community was out in force doing the cheek swabs with q-tips to be a part of the National Marrow Donor Program. Houston is the next to last stop on Pedraja's summer journey to get people to register. He originally had a goal of 2,007 people. He expects to cross the 5,000 mark with the visit here. Gulf Coast Regional Blood Center's Chief Medical Officer Doctor Susan Rossmann says every person makes a difference because for a bone marrow transplant to work it has to be a perfect match.
There are now two ways to donate marrow.
"Either you give bone marrow which is a simple procedure done under general anesthesia it takes a couple of hours and you might be sore for a day or two or sometimes people now give or sometimes people now give peripheral blood stem cells which is kind of like a platelet donation procedure where you're completely awake and it takes a couple hours."
Sgt Headley is now waiting to hear back from the registry to find out if his match will go through the procedure. It's a more daunting procedure for Headley, but it's his only option.
"They'll know it's successful because, say if you're a type B blood and I'm type A+, I'll be a B when it takes hold, so they will know at that point whether it's successful. And of course tests down the road will show if I'm completely in remission or not. The main thing is to live through the transplant because it's not easy, and once you live through the transplant then that's success right there. We'll see how that goes, but there's a 90 percent chance that if the transplant takes hold and I live through the transplant it will work and I'll be cured."

Book by triple amputee veteran explores the upside of hardship
By Karin Matz
CHICAGO (Reuters) - Bryan Anderson whizzed into a coffee shop on Chicago's North Side on a recent afternoon, maneuvering past chairs and patrons with confidence, speed and grace, catching every customers' eye.
The 30-year-old suburban Chicago resident is completely conspicuous, and he knows it.
Anderson is an Iraq veteran and a triple amputee. He lost both legs and his left arm when he was hit by an improvised explosive device (IED) in Iraq six years ago. But he has no patience for pity.
"Please don't feel bad for me," he says. "I have an extraordinary life."
Anderson is part actor, part athlete, part motivational speaker, and all-American hero.
He's had guest appearances on the television show "CSI: NY" and in the award-winning movie "The Wrestler." He graced the cover of Esquire magazine. He can snowboard, rock climb and even skateboard with his wheel chair.
"I treat the world as my jungle gym," said Anderson. "My biggest nemesis is a button down shirt."
Now, in time for Veterans Day, Anderson has added author to his list of accomplishments, releasing a book earlier this month called, "No Turning Back," co-authored by David Mack. Continued...

Is It Editing or Magic? [Video]
I can't tell if this guy is a great video editor or a David Blaine-type magician – maybe he's a combination of both. Either way this is frustratingly awesome.
I am amazed by the things he's doing here, and at the same I am so mad that I can't figure it out. At first I just assumed it was really crafty video editing, so I watched it so closely to see if I could find the cuts. Doggone it if I couldn't see anything…so then I wondered if he is some sort of magician, or should I say illusionist. Maybe there aren't any cuts and he's just fooling us with slight of hand. At this point I just don't know – and for some reason I can't just sit back and enjoy his tricks – I have to over analyze everything.
Hopefully you don't have the same affliction/compulsion. Hopefully you can just take the next few minutes and be entertained by this fella.

low light
Autofocus wavelength dependency in a Pentax K20D
I take substantial amount of my pictures in low light conditions. However, the autofocus of my K20D has proven to be a poor companion under these circumstances. I usually have to fight with problems of getting the focus right. The problem is made even worse by the fact that the camera triggers the AF light of the flash far too late. There is some brightness in which the camera can't focus quickly or not at all but doesn't attempt to use the flash's AF illuminator. I have remedied this condition with the development of several AF illuminator assistants, basically a second- manually triggered- AF-illuminator. Although I used pretty strong light sources in them, performance was still sub par. After reading about the "Pentax yellow light focus problem" that Ricehigh described, I decided to do some tests myself.
Basically what is known from other Pentaxians is that under incandescent illumination a front focus of the camera can be observed. It has been speculated that this is related to the amount of infrared radiation contained in this light. Therefore I tested whether the Pentax AF reacts to near IR or UV light. The good news: no it does not at all. I tried UV LEDs and very near IR LEDs, just at the border of human perception, and with both I could not get any AF lock-on. I then testes a range of LEDs with comparable brigthness on a focus test chart (please note my excellent hand drawing skills ;-)). Here are the results (left is front, right is back, 45 deg angle, focus until stable, two pictures each, both where always exactly the same (every time refocused)):
What you can see is that there is very little dependency on wavelength. For none of the used wavelengths, IR, UV, red, green and blue (not all are shown) were there siginificant differences in accuracy, if the focus could get a lock-on (not for UV and IR) at all. Therefore each color should be able to do the trick in an autofocus assist light.
Then I did a second test: I again mounted the camera on a tripod and aimed it at a lamp in my dark living room. Now I illuminated the lamp with various LEDs and tested how well the focus worked. Here are some examples:
As you can see, each color works. Surprisingly, even the dim blue LED can get a lock-on (in terms of energy it is as bright as the red and the blue). The surprising fact however was that the bright red LED, which even projects an image of its die onto any surface (really short focal length of the LED dome lens) caused the most problems. The focus is able to lock on but often it was not accurate. Just as it is really difficult to manually focus under red light- due to the low acuity of the eye for red- the camera had the same problem. Often the focus was slightly of to the front or back. The best results were obtained wth the green LED. Now I understand why the Fuji bridge camera of my friend Jonas uses a green LED (besides the fact that in LiveView green is alwazs superior due to twice as manz green pixels)! I will try to test a green LED for my autofocus assist light as well! So please come back because I will present this neat little device shortly on my site!
What do we learn from all this? First, the K20D does not appear to necessarily show a problem with the autofocus for different wavelengths. At least not if the illumination is decent. This excludes a systematic error in the AF and makes a "yellow problem" unlikely. I have also never experienced one. For near threshold intensities it seems to be that green light can be best used for accurate AF. Lock on is fastest and most of the times more accurate than red light. Another advantage is, that green LEDs are still effective and bright and green light does not trigger the pupil reflex as badly as blue light.
This test is not really "scientific" as there are no accepted standards for this kind of measurements. Since the spectral response curve of the AF sensor and filters in front of it are unknown, no equal luminance setup can be built. It is merely a test which just tests if there are any grave problems with the AF under different wavelengths and which of those could best be used for an AF assist lamp.

Great choice in handguns...the Equinox looks good and feels better in the hand.
My heart goes out to you....I once lived in NJ and detested the senseless gun laws there.
Are you thinking about a Kahr 9mm? .40? .45? Regardless, I love the Kahr handgun line owning three myself.
I have little experience with the XD line....the sole XD I shot, a 9mm 5" gun, shot excellently and had a good trigger. The XD45 looks like a winner.
Try to get your hands on your next gun, whether it's a Kahr or XD45 and fire some rounds out of it. Choose which ever fits your fancy.

It has continued to do so every time I crank it up since. Of course this sends fear pulsing through my blood as i fear it has a real problem. Some people have told me that this is common and to run some bg cleaner through it and it will be o.k. Anybody have any ideas i would appreciatte it.

Well WHAT a night it was !!! wow!! It was ridiculously windy. We were rocking!! The vents were all rattling, the windows were shaking, we were hot and it was not nice. Holly was awake at 4 and we were soon after. The VW in front suddenly took off round the carpark, not sure why but we thought they might have panicked and left. But they came back shortly after and re-parked so maybe they just went to use the loo in the shop. Then the big RV behind us left and we lost our little bit of protection. It was horrendous! So we got up at 6, had a shower in the van, did some shopping and we were on the road by 7.30.
About 10 mins down the road and Holly and Zach had gone back to sleep!!!
We then entered Kansas and started feeling rather lintrepid and a little apprehensive because of the weather. We had been hearing stories of tornado warnings in the area and also thunder storms and heavy rain.
The wind was very strong, gusting to 50 miles per hour so driving was becoming very tricky. However we battled on to Garden City where we decided to stop for a bit.
The sky was clear and the temp. ws very high but the wind was still howling. It made me feel uneasy at the thought of spending another night somewhere exposed and windy.
We found an enormous public swimming pool simply called the "Big Pool". It WAS enormous and had been built in the thirties as a free public pool for the local community. The water was absolutely freezing unfortunately and so we didn't stay there long, plus there wasn't any shade for us either.
We then visited a small museum and had some lunch but there wasn't much else to keep us in this town so we left late afternoon.
Our next stop was Dodge City which was only another hour away.
Steve said it was the most stressful bit of driving so far as the wind was pushing us towards the centre of the road all the time and there were lots of trucks coming the opposite way too which made it worse
We finally arrived in famous Dodge City and we were very relieved to stop. We considered parking at walmart overnight but it really was too windy and too hot.
Steve sniffed out the city fairground/ rodeo grounds which often have a camping area that is not generally advertised as one. We found someone there who looks after the grounds who lives in an RV. She was lovely and charged us $15 for a site with power and we also had access to the showers etc. not posh but great for our needs. It also meant that we could run our air con. At night to keep cool.
It was still incredibly windy but we felt a lot happier here. We also had been told that there was a possibility of tornado warnings and this lady assured us she would come and get us should anything develop. We were told that we would need to run to the shower block to shelter from severe weather.
We went to sleep with the rather loud hum of the air con. But it was better that listening to the howling wind.

It looks like you're new here. If you want to get involved, click one of these buttons!
I know running is good for me, I know i really enjoy it, I know the feeling you get after a good run is amazing, I know it relives stress, i know it makes me happy, i know it helps maintain weight, fight off illness and is just generally brilliant.
yet i cant make myself go for a run..
thought maybe was just a bit of fatigue and gave my self a few guilt free days off.. but now just cant seem to get myself out of the door.
i know i should. i know i want to. but i just cant seem to motivate myself!!
anyone else going though/been through a similar phase?
what motivates you to run...?
think i just need to put my trainers on and go for it.... but am failing miserably!
gj x
I'm far from an expert, but
"think i just need to put my trainers on and go for it.." - isabout the measure of it.
Once you're kitted out jjust get out there and don't think about it so much before hand! One tends to build it up in yuor head as a bigger and bigger deal - just like with other things in life that we procrastinate over...
If I haven't been for a run for a 2/3 days it gets harder and harder to get out of the door, so for this reason it is more important to 'just do it' as it's not going to get easier! I tend to think of how good and proud I feel after a run, and I'm finding it has helped to have a goal to aim for such as a race in the longer term. I'm doing my first marathon later this month, but you can bet I'm looking to enter a half marathon/10km beyond that so I don't lose my motivation.
Having said all this I've found a few days off when feeling mentally fatigued from the trainnig has helped immeasurably and I've actually slightly looked forward to my run..
I think the technical term for what you are experiecing is 'being lazy'
In the colder and darker months, its most certainly easier and more pleasent to sit in front of the TV and keep warm. I have the temptation to do that everytime I look outside this time of year, I choose to run.
Without being rude, you need to stop being lazy, most things worth doing in life are not always easy ! - Get out there, put your trainers on a go for a walk or run.. There is no cure you simply need to find more reasons to run than not to.
Set yourself goals - e.g. a race or a target time etc.
No goals makes it harder. Then you think I have to do this or I won't meet my goals.
Squeakz - laziness is one answer, but the lack of motivation can have many causes. Depression, other problems, can cause someone (who KNOWS it is going to be good for them, and that they enjoy it) to be unable to get out of the house and face up to many things, and for a runner, running is one of those things.
This has certainly struck me before - I'm not generally lazy, but when this has happened, I have found it easier to 'hide' from running, despite all the benefits I know it will bring, including to the very mental battles I've been suffering from.
So don't be quite so quick to judge. I know a lot of runners are 'achievers', 'do-ers', and scorn the concept of depression a little - I may at one time been one myself. But believe me, it's real.
.......and some people seem to want to turn every bout of laziness into a drama about depression!
I dont think the original OP was even remotely looking for an online quack's opinion.
Do you run with a club, or have a similar paced buddy? Either of those would be a good way to keep yourself in the runnign mixer. If you're relied on by others it can be harder to sack the runs off.
Have you had a recent big race like amarathon or something? Often that can leave you feeling a bit disenchanted.
At the end of the day though it's down to you to pinpoint the most important reason you run. Is it to race well, is it just the feeling after or during, or is it the social.
For me it's currently the quest to get as fast as I can while I still can! But in future I envisage it being about tackling wacky and tough events, and running just for the fun of it.
Geez Berger, if you think parkrun fan's message was fairly abusive, you should meet the people I deal with day to day
Doesn't really sound like the opening poster is in a depressed way of thinking at all, mentioning all the positive reasons for doing it, saying how much they like it etc. If they were truly depressed, they wouldn't speak so positively about running and what it can do surely.
dj gj
I hesitate to say this - but sounds to me like you need a lobotomy to get your head straight........
Alternatively, just remove your brain from the decision - and get out there and run!
I've been through similar phases where I can't summon up the motivation, and in every instance the best thing I've ever done is to get changed into running gear, tell myself I'm just going outside to see how I feel, and then go for a very gentle run.........
Good luck with it!
When I feel like this, the only thing to do is get out there, even if it's for 10 minutes. otherwise it becomes a big mental barrier. If you haven't been in 2 weeks, why go now, because it'll hurt etc., But it'll be harder to get out the longer the break becomes. Running is, to some degree, a mental thing and you just need to clear you head of the excuses and issues that are causing you to put off running.
I find that I need to have targets lined up, so I book the next race before I do this one, so that there's always one booked to do. And yes, I have started running, from scratch, more than once, so I know what I'm on about!
Alternatively, I remember a piece of advice I read on here (a very long time ago) which went along the line of "just get out there, you big jessie". A more amusing version of HTFU, but the same sentiment.
thanks guys,
you'll be pleased to know after reading your replies this afternoon i dragged myself out for a run i didnt go very fast or for very long, but i went and that's the main thing
thanks for all your encouragement and help.
have also booked my place on a couple of festive fun runs to give me something to aim for int he short term.
as for the comments about runnig with people, that;s a great idea, just worried i'd be too slow for a running club... maybe if i get myself a bit fitter and faster that will be soemthing to aim for.
gj x
I have just done my first run after a week off, I was having the same problem as you GJ. I feel a lot better for getting out there, but I know exactly how you feel
You should try a running club, they usually cater for runners of all speeds. I am sure that there is a friendly one out there for you!

CLEVELAND: Barring further disabling injuries, by the end of June the Indians' rotation might include most of the players, and more, who started the season.
Before the end of the month, Scott Lewis, Aaron Laffey and Jake Westbrook might rejoin the rotation.
"Laffey (right oblique strain) played catch from 60 feet today for the first time,'' head trainer Lonnie Soloff said Monday. ""His program for now will be to throw for two days and take one day off. He could begin throwing bullpens next week.''
Inasmuch as Laffey has been part of the rotation and part of the bullpen this year, there's a question as to whether he will rehab as a starter or a reliever, which would cut down the innings he needs to pitch before he is activated.
"We haven't made that decision yet, but if I had to guess, I would say Laffey will be a starter,'' manager Eric Wedge said.
A definitive time for Lewis (strained left elbow) to return has not been established, but there's a good chance that he and Westbrook will be activated by the last week of June.
"Nothing is set in stone,'' Soloff said. ""We'll see how he does in simulated games. But he probably will have about the same time frame as Westbrook.''
It is now almost a year since Westbrook underwent right elbow reconstruction surgery, and his throwing program has continued on schedule. He has come to the final challenge of his recovery, going on a rehabilitation assignment.
He is scheduled to pitch three innings for Akron in its game at Altoona Friday.
According to Soloff, ""Jake will progress to four innings his next outing, probably pitch five innings twice and possibly six after that, which will take him to late June.''
If Westbrook maintains a strict schedule and makes all five rehab outings, he could make his first start for the Tribe on June 30.
One starter who will not be returning to the rotation by the end of June is Anthony Reyes, who is on the disabled list with an elbow injury. Reyes' visit to Dr. Lewis Yocum in Los Angeles has been moved from Tuesday to Wednesday.
If he needs surgery, which is expected, he will remain in the California, where Yocum will perform the operation on Friday.
The return of Westbfook, Laffey and Lewis to the active roster would vastly reshape the Indians' rotation, which now includes Cliff Lee, Carl Pavano, Fausto Carmona, Jeremy Sowers and David Huff.
But a month is a long time to stay in the Central Division race with eight players on the DL.
"The guys we've called up here are getting better and better,'' Wedge said. ""One thing we have to do is catch the ball. We can't be giving teams extra outs. We also have to get more consistency from our starters.''
THE PLAN -- Center fielder Grady Sizemore will be out of action at least two more weeks with inflammation of the lining of his left elbow joint.
"An MRI documented that there is no structural damage to the elbow,'' Soloff said. ""We tried to nurse him through for a week (as the DH), trying not to have him miss any time. But it got to a point where the symptoms reached a plateau, and he didn't get any better.''
There's a possibility that Sizemore will undergo arthrscopic surgery, which would keep him on the sidelines 4-6 weeks after end of the DL period.
"Our hope is that by keeping the ball out of his hand for an additional two weeks (until June 15), we can help him overcome this,'' Soloff said. ""At the end of that time, we would see if surgery is necessary.''
The recommended treatment for Sizemore is rest and the administratiion of anti-inflammatory drugs.
BETANCOURT IS NO. 8 -- Rafael Betancourt became the eighth player placed on the 15-day DL Monday with a strained groin.
To take his place on the roster, lefty reliever Tony Sipp was recalled from Columbus.
"This probably will be more than a two-week thing for Betancourt,'' Wedge said.
The Tribe has more players on the DL than any team in the majors except Tampa Bay (9), surpassing the number of times (10) the club has used the DL in 2000 (9) and 2006 (7).
BACK IN THE LINEUP -- After fouling a pitch off his leg and suffering a painful contusion to the knee Saturday night, catcher Victor Martinez returned to the lineup Monday night as the DH.
"If it had hit just right, the ball would have fractured his patella (kneecap),'' Soloff said. ""But he's still going to feel this for a week or two.''
Martinez probably will play first base before he is allowed to go back behind the plate.
HAFNER RETURN UP IN AIR -- Travis Hafner played in his second consecutive game for Columbus Monday night, but with only two days remaining on his 20-day rehab assignment, it is still unclear whether Hafner (sore shoulder) will be activated Thursday or stay on the DL and work out in Arizona.
"I think he's right there on the cusp,'' Wedge said.
Wedge needs to count on Hafner to be available most of the time.
"He's got to be able to plays five or six days a week,'' the manager said. ""I think that would be the best case scenario (to expect).''
FARM FACTS -- Eric Berger (3-3, 2.37 ERA) gave up one run and six hits in five innings, but Kinston lost to Winston-Salem 4-3... Alexander Perez (4-2, 3.02 ERA) gave up one run and two hits in six innings, as Lake County beat West Virginia 4-3.

In 1990, Rowling followed her long-term boyfriend from her Exeter days to Manchester in England's industrial northern region. It was on a train delay from Manchester back to London that Rowling first had the inspiration for Harry Potter and began to plot out the novels.
Marlboro Lights
Brand of cigarette JKR smoked. She apologizes for the habit and admits to being "a flawed role model" (WP1). According to her website, Jo quit smoking several years ago and now chews a lot of gum and plays Minesweeper (JKR).
Matthewson, Emma
Matthewson is Commissioning Editor at Bloomsbury Publishing, UK. She is the chief editor of the Harry Potter novels at Bloomsbury. She began her career with children's books in the publishing industry as Editorial Secretary at independent publisher Blackie Children's Books and then spent five years at Penguin, before moving to Bloomsbury (Interview for kidbookpros, 2001: http://www.scbwifrance.com/meetthepros/interviews_2000_01/emma_matthewson.htm).
McGonagall, Sir William Topaz
(1825 - 1902)
Born in Edinburgh in 1825, McGonagall is sometimes known as 'Scotland's worst poet,' and was the source of Professor McGonagall's surname.
The gonnagles of the Nac Mac Feegle in Terry Pratchett's excellent Discworld novels - battle poets who when on form can make an enemy's ears explode - are a more direct reference to the same awful poet. Consequently, we recommend consulting the Annotated Pratchett File's entry on The Wee Free Men for further information. Consider yourself warned - examples of McGonagall's "poetry" are provided, so you may wish to put on ear protection before proceeding further.
Melling, Harry
Born in March 1989 in London, England, Harry Melling was cast as Dudley Dursley in the Harry Potter films. Further information can be found at: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0577982/
Mitford, Jessica (1917 - 1996)
JKR named her daughter Jessica after her heroine, Jessica (Decca) Mitford and gave her daughter a copy of Mitford's autobiographical account Hons and Rebels (1960) for her christening gift ("From the dole to Hollywood," Elisabeth Dunn, The Electronic Telegraph, 2 August 1997). Decca was the fifth of six sisters (and one brother). The sisters in particular led very controversial and/or influential lives in the first half of twentieth-century England. Their lives are chronicled in a recent biography by Mary S. Lovell (The Sisters: The Saga of the Mitford Family). The Mitfords were made notorious by Nancy's brilliant novels, Diana's marriage to Sir Oswald Mosley (leader of the British Fascist Party), Unity's infatuation with Hitler and subsequent suicide attempt, Debo's marriage to a duke, and Jessica's passionate commitment to communism. Mitford exhibited bravery and idealism, both of which are qualities JKR most admires (Sch2). Additional information about the fascinating life of Jessica Mitford can be found at: http://www.mitford.org/index1.html
The Greek goddess of memory and the mother of the nine Muses (Brewer's Dictionary of Phrase and Fable). See Mnemosyne Clinic for Memory Modification.
Monty Python
JKR says "British comedy is an obsession of mine. I love Monty Python." (Sch2) The ideas for Cockroach Cluster and for Chocolate Frogs (see) are tributes to Monty Python sketches.
Mortemore, Sally
Sally Mortemore was cast as Madam Pince in the Harry Potter films. Further information can be found at: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1090693/
A village in Surrey near London, which in the late sixteenth century was the home of the scholar Dr. John Dee. Dee was a mathematician, natural philosopher, and student of the occult, and turned down offers of mathematical professorships at various universities to eventually attach himself to the royal court of England, where among other things he served as astrologer to Queen Mary I (which once led to his temporary imprisonment on the charge of being a conjurer) and as a scientific and medical adviser to her successor, Queen Elizabeth I. He is thought to have been the model for the character of Prospero the magician in Shakespeare's play The Tempest.
He worked hard to promote the study of mathematics for practical uses such as navigation. He also kept a laboratory and what was then the largest private library in the country at Mortlake, and was generous in helping other scholars, which has led to some descriptions of Mortlake as one of the earliest think tanks. (Encyclopedia Brittanica)
See Mortlake for JKR's reference to this place.
MS Society Scotland
Rowling's mother died of respiratory failure linked to multiple sclerosis at age 45 in 1990, and JKR serves as a patron for MS Society Scotland (taking on this role in 2000). She has campaigned and fundraised for this charity with great enthusiasm. Scotland has the highest incidence of multiple sclerosis of any country in the world. Rowling opened a new £250,000 ($375,000) resource center for MS sufferers in Aberdeen in April 2001 (SS_JKRB).
Murray, David Gordon Rowling
Son of Joanne Rowling and Neil Murray, David Gordon Rowling Murray was born in March 2003 and is one of the subjects of the dedication of OP.
Murray, Devon
Born in October 1988 in County Kildare, Ireland, Devon Murray was cast as Seamus Finnigan in the Harry Potter films. Further information can be found at: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0614912/
Murray, Mackenzie Jean Rowling
Daughter of Joanne Rowling and Neil Murray, Mackenzie Jean Rowling Murray was born in January 2005 and is therefore the subject of the dedication of HBP, which was completed not long before she was born and published a little less than six months later.
Murray, Neil
Joanne Rowling married Dr. Neil Murray on 26 December 2001 (Boxing Day) at Killiechassie House, the country home she and Neil purchased earlier that year in Aberfeldy, Perthshire, Scotland. Dr. Murray was working as a senior house officer in anesthetics at an Edinburgh hospital when he first met JKR, and he later went on to study for a general practice. The media have made much of his resemblance to an adult Harry Potter (J.K. Rowling: A Biography, Connie Ann Kirk, Greenwood Press, 2003).
Music favourites
Rowling listed the following songs or works as amongst her favorites: "Requiem Mass in D Minor" (Mozart); "Come Together" (The Beatles); "Bigmouth Strikes Again" (The Smiths); "Appassionata Sonata" (Beethoven); "Violin concerto in D Major" (Tchaikovsky); "Everybody Hurts" (REM); "Guilt" (Marianne Faithfull); and "All Along the Watchtower" (Jimi Hendrix) (SS_JKRB).

Brad Trent's Digital Man
About two weeks ago, we launched a project called Light Shaping Tool of the Month. First out was the brand new Umbrella XL, and the article is still here, if you have not yet read it.
One who did read it was New York based photographer Brad Trent, who by a strange coincidence posted a similar blog post the very same day. However, Brad's post highlighted another, slightly less well-known Light Shaping Tool: The Profoto ZoomSpot.
"Sure…with a little Photoshop and a lotta time you could probably manufacture an image like the one above, but wouldn't it a lot more fun to pull out a $10,000 lighting gizmo and do it all in-camera?!!" asks Brad. He then continues to explain how he set up his shoot, complete with self-made transparencies, a trio of Profoto heads, a softbox and a bunch of other stuff.
Why not head over to Brad's blog Damn Ugly Photography and read the entire post?

Substrate suggestions
Hi all.
I've recently decided to purchase a 600 litre tank and I'd like to go heavily planted. I've not yet decided about the kind of plants that'll be in there but the tank will be tropical and not necessarily a biotope.
I've read a few articles and have become confused by the abundance of information available and the various methods of achieving a beautiful looking planted aquarium.
I thought an inch and a half of soil with the same amount of sand would be enough but after having read everything it has become apparent that there's more to it.
Can anyone offer the pros and cons of the various methods out there to help a budding newbie out? I'd appreciate any help. :)
Many thanks for your time.
Also the tank comes with 2x 1250 lph with media. Will bacteria in the filter media compete with bacteria soil? Is it safe to use all provided media? I think it comes with carbon which might screw with the carbon in the soil?
Sorry for the double post. :)
Substrate Choice's Pro's/Cons
i chose to go with MGOCPM capped with Eco and also one capped with Floramax
these were both readily available at my LFS so it made it easy choices
read the sticky and the entire comments below the OP, lots of good stuff in there
Thanks for the reply. :)
How about the second post?
Also, will a fishless cycle with ammonia hydroxide harm the substrate or slow the process?
First off, welcome Kogre. You did good by reading up on here, but it sounds like you just need to spend some more time reading to see what fits you best.
Filter media won't really compete with your substrate. They will work together. You'll only have as much nitrifying bacteria as there is food (ammonia) in the system to feed it. Doing a fishless cycle with ammonia won't hurt your substrate.
Don't worry about carbon in your filter. It wears out in a matter of days anyway. Save it to use for removing traces of medication or to clear up cloudy water.

The Kickstarter for Mighty No. 9 ended last night and, needless to say, the people funding didn't let up in those final hours since the game closed with over 4 million dollars in funding (including Paypal).
The acquisition of that much money also means one other thing: Mighty No. 9 has broken through every single stretch goal on the list. Now we have the following additions to look forward to when the game draws nearer to release:
- Two extra stages
- Releases on all major consoles, home and portable (PC, Mac, Linux, PS3, PS4, Wii U, Xbox 360, Xbox One, 3DS, and the PS Vita)
- New Game +
- Turbo Mode
- Documentary that details the making of the game
- Boss Rush Mode
- Challenge Mode
- Extra end stage and accompanying boss
- Online co-op challenge mode with Beck and Call
- Intro stage with accompanying boss
- A support character
- A stage and boss for Call in single-player
- Optional chiptune soundtrack and FX
- Online battle race mode
As far as where I stand, I think any of the stage additions and the porting to multiple systems are the best ones. Others may find that some of these other goals are more intriguing to them. I remember days ago when I thought it wasn't going to even reach the extra end stage, but oh boy was I wrong on that one.
Now that funding is all done, it's up to Inafune and Comcept to deliver on the final product of which I don't have any high doubts they will fail for us. If this Kickstarter has shown Mr. Inafune anything is that people appreciate him as a video game developer and love his work; I'm sure he'll do everything in his power to bring this game to light for us all.
Even though there is no release date stated, many of the bonuses that came with funding amounts have a April 2015 date attached, so we might be expecting the game around that time. Of course, by bonuses, I mean things like the physical case for show, the art book, strategy guide, and a digital copy of the game itself.
The funding is done; now the waiting begins. How many of you are as excited for Mighty No. 9 as I am (hint: very!)?

Hello, I did Revanesse dermal filler on my cheek 5 weeks ago. I went for retouch two weeks after that, at the beggining after the swelling all gone, it was amazing and I wish my cheek stay like this forever. Now it is been 3 weeks and I feel like I barley did something and I still need more . Can use different kind of dermal filler ? Revanesse gave me bad allergy pain and dramatic swelling that lasted few days. I am working and I can't have more than weekend to stay home. Please advice.
Can I Use Different Dermal Filler After 1 Month?
Doctor Answers 3
Different Filler after One Month in Cheek
You could use another HA filler or Radiesse in the cheek, or you could consider fat grafting to the cheek as a more permanent solution. This would involve transfer of your own fat to the cheek areas. Kenneth Hughes, MD Los Angeles, CA
Web reference: http://www.hughesplasticsurgery.com/Facial-Fat-Grafting-and-Stem-Cell-Rejuvenation.php
Can another dermal filler be used after Revanesse?
Revanesse is a hyaluronic acid gel filler which is temporary. It is possible that you could use a different dermal filler with longer lasting results three weeks after your last Revanesse treatment. Your options would be using more Revanesse to try and get more volume in your cheeks or to switch to another filler. The other options for FDA-approved fillers in the U.S. would be Radiesse, Sculptra or Artefill. One other option would be using fat. I would return to your injecting physician and discuss your options and see if another filler might give you better results.
Can I Use Different Dermal Filler After 1 Month?
Yes, you can mix and match the types of fillers used for facial augmentation. This should not pose any issue.

Thanks for your reply. So it sounds as though you are saying that I
can use the EM algorthm to run factor analysis in the presence of
missing data. Is that correct? How might I go about implementing
this approach? By the way, do you have any references I might use to
get some background on this approach?
Thank you for your help,
On 7/12/07, Rodrigo A. Alfaro <email@example.com> wrote:
It is not clear to me what you can get averaging the factor loading. For a
reasonable number of factors, you could print out your output for each
imputed-dataset and try to find if there is any pattern. For example,
variable x1 has some load between 0.7 and 0.74... if you get x2 has loads
between -0.2 and 0.8, then I would think more carefully about the imputation
Alternative, you could try EM-algorithm to get the variance-covariance
matrix under normality assumption. With that it would be clear how to obtain
the associated factors (there will be just one).
Good luck, R

DinoBoy Book
This is a neat book that has many interactive features. If you tap the words in the story they are pronounced for you. Each page also has several parts of the picture that will move and make noises. It's not just the fun of reading a good story but also the adventure of finding the things on each page that bounce or jump. This book can provide some real quality time between young ones and their parents.
Click the bells on the slide :)
This book is great, my kids keep asking for it. I noticed a review where someone got stuck at the slide - I'm pretty sure it's not a bug, you need to hit all 3 of the the bells on the slide to go down it (which is great because they are different notes so you can make a little song). Hope this helps. A very enjoyable and re-readable adventure! The breakfast table page is a real win with my son especially.
Nice art, sweet story, but technical glitches
This is a very sweet story with lovely illustrations and a creative approach to transitions... The child must finish each task before going to the next page, which is unusual and forces the reader to slow down a bit. A nice touch. However, there are a number of technical glitches, and because of this, the "choose your own outcome" often falls apart. (For example, you might choose to follow the cat, and then inexplicably you're with the dog--and the cat has disappeared.) Assuming the developers work that out, it will be a nice storybook.

While pricing was not disclosed, we expect to see the Developer Edition of the Samsung Galaxy S4 tagged in the area of $650. That is the price of the Google Edition of the phone, which Verizon customers won't be able to use. If you're with Big Red and want to have your Galaxy S4 bootloader unlocked officially, the Developer Edition is your only solution. AT&T customers have the option of buying either the "Google Edition" or the "Developer Edition" of the Samsung Galaxy S4 if they want an unlocked bootloader out of the box.
No release date has been listed, but we would expect that the phone would be ready soon considering that it has already been posted in Samsung's online store.

Council is involved in the Mobile Muster Program, which is coordinated Australia-wide by the mobile phone industry to prevent mobile phones ending up in landfill.
For mobile phone collection points in Yarra, check the Mobile Muster Program.
Council encourages people to swap and share goods and services to reduce waste to landfill and save resources. Two online groups listed below help to keep quality, used items circulating, share skills, save money and reduce waste.Freecycle is an online email network for donating and finding free second-hand goods.
Street Bank is an online community for sharing resources within your neighbourhood and meeting people in your local area. Members share items such as sewing machines, vegetables, wheelbarrows, tools, cars, books, washing machines and computers.

I had HP 400 cc implanted 2 1/2 weeks ago and I want them removed. I do not want any implants in my body. They are not for me. I'm 27 5'6" 118 lbs very healthy with good skin elasticity. I want my natural breast back. I'm afraid after removal I will be left with saggy breast and loose skin.
How Soon Can I Have Implants Removed and What Will Be the Result?
Doctor Answers 10
Breast Implant Removal?
Thank you for the question.
Technically the breast implants can be removed at any time. However, you should have a detailed discussion with your plastic surgeon regarding your motivation for implant removal and see if waiting for a period of a few months would be in your best interests.
Best wishes.
Web reference: http://www.poustiplasticsurgery.com/Procedures/procedure_breastaugmentation.htm
Breast implant removal (explantation) and appearance 3 weeks after placement
Removal of the implant this soon after the implantation would likely mean that your breast would return to a close facsimile of the original appearance.
Web reference: http://www.bodysculptor.com/breast-surgery-chicago/implant-replacement/
Return to your surgeon for options
This is an interesting problem. I go through a very detailed consult which is designed to make sure the I am on the same page as the patient when it comes to placing implants. I don't feel like the whole story is being detailed here. I am bothered by this course of events though. You should return to your surgeon for your options. Of course implant removal is always an option.
You might also like...
Removal of Breast Implants
There is lack of communication with your plastic surgeon prior to surgery, or you have had the implants for the wrong reason.
However this time you need a full discussion regarding explantation and the consequences, as well as the expectations, potential risks , including psychological impact. May be you need to talk to a psychiatrist before the explantation about the original surgery , the explantation and body image issues.
The earlier the explant the better, but NO QUARANTEES OR WARRANTEES to the result regardless of time of explant.
Breast Implant removal
I would recommend that you go back and talk to your plastic surgeon again. It is probably best to have them removed soon. That way, you can avoid stretching of your breast tissue. Implant removal is a relatively easy procedure and can even be done under local anesthesia. You may however need a drain at this stage.
Breast implant removal
Certainly this is an unusual situation because most people have thought considerably about implants before having them. But they are easily removed. If you do it relatively soon you shouldn't have any lost elasticity.
Breast Implant removal Timing
In reality, you can remove the implants at any time. Certainly, the quicker you remove them after surgery, the better chance there is for everything to bounce back to where they were before. I would discuss this with your surgeon - it is not unusual for patients to have some drastic mood swings for a few weeks after surgery. Some patients even feel just as you do and call it the "boobie blues". I usually ask them to wait a full month before we make any sort of decision, because it really is rare that once all the healing has taken place, the swelling has gone down, and the breasts have formed their natural shape, that a patient then wants them out. I hope this helps
How soon can I have implants removed?
It's too bad that you did not consider these issues prior to surgery, however the sooner you have the implants removed the more likely you will have restoration of your breasts . Although your breasts and skin will have stretched, your good elasticity, your youth, and normal body weight are good predictors of successful return to your previous breast condition.
Discuss this matter in detail with your plastic surgeon.
Can implants be removed?
I'm sorry you are not happy after your surgery. I think it is most appropriate that you speak directly with your plastic surgeon about removing them. Your skin will have stretched somewhat but without seeing you it is hard to predict, it is hard to predict even with seeing you. The fact they have only been there for 2 weeks will help with some skin retraction.
Please see your plastic surgeon for their advice.
Dr Edwards
Removal of implants
The sooner you have them removed if that is what you want the more likely they will go back to what they looked like before you had them done.

Yankees vs Phillies Game 4 World Series Predictions 2009
Yankees vs Phillies Game 4 World Series Predictions 2009: The Yankees will look to take a decisive three game lead in the World Series tonight when they take on the Phillies at Citizens Bank Park. New York went up 2-1 last night, beating Philadelphia 8-5 in a pivotal game three. This evening's game is scheduled to get underway at 8:20pm ET on FOX. Game 4 World Series Predictions 2009 at online bookmaker BetUS.com have the Yanks listed as a -170 moneyline favorite.
The Yankees finally found their regular season bats last night and they used them to smash out eight hits, three of which were home runs, and eight runs. The outburst was the second most runs that New York has posted in a 2009 playoff game, the first being a 10 run barrage in game five against the Angels. The primary victim of the Yankees offensive aggression? Phillies lefty Cole Hamels. Hamels downward slide continued as he gave up five hits and five earned runs over 4.1 innings.
Phillies skipper Charlie Manual will call on veteran right-hander Joe Blanton to quiet New York's bats this evening. Given Blanton's recent performance, that seems like an iffy possibility at best. The 28 year old hurler has made three appearances this post-season, giving up nine hits and five earned runs in 9.2 innings of work. However, the Nashville native was nails for the Phillies in last year's playoffs. Blanton made three starts in the 2008 post-season; Philadelphia went 3-0 in those outings and Blanton garnered a miniscule 2.65 ERA over 17 innings pitched.
"It's a big game, but it's another game," Blanton said. "And I think you draw from last year, just the fact that you've been there before, you've been in that environment, you've been in that atmosphere…you can just kind of draw back and keep your emotions in check."
Unfortunately for Blanton, he will be throwing opposite C.C. Sabathia. Sabathia has been nothing short of superb during these playoffs. In four 2009 post-season starts (NYY 3-1), the big lefty has allowed just 21 hits and five earned runs over 29.2 innings for a 1.32 ERA. He has also walked six while striking out 26. Sabathia will be working on three days rest after getting the start in game one, but for his career, the 29 year old has a 5-3 record and 3.16 ERA on short rest.
Game 4 World Series Predictions 2009 Betting Trend: The Yankees are 5-1 straight up this season playing as a road favorite coming off of back-to-back wins. Average margin of victory? 6.2 runs per game.
BetUS.com Yankees vs Phillies Game 4 World Series Predictions 2009:
New York Yankees -1.5 (-110), Over 8.5 (-120), -170 (Moneyline)
Philadelphia Phillies +1.5 (-110), Under 8.5 (+100), +150 (Moneyline)
