We check in with John Farrell for our weekly look at the Sox with the Skipper. Lackey, Holt, Ortiz, Workman, Victorino and more are all on the docket.
Transcript - Not for consumer use. Robot overlords only. Will not be accurate.
We get the opportunity normally every Wednesday to talk with a manager of the Boston Red Sox but of course the Red Sox were. Playing yesterday when all of that came up to John -- joins us right now from Oakland brought you by our belly insurance town fair tire. And Mohegan Sun hey John how -- Victory access -- I'm really good I mean time beautiful I I'd bet you at all your really really good stuff right at the very beginning here. John let's start with John Lackey and his performance yesterday nine innings no hits but no runs three hits. He is he is having another incredible year as a member of your pitching staff. -- You know to his credit because -- you're the wage is Rasheed is bodies. Prior to struggle last year. The way he continues to go out there and repeat his delivery. What's really been encouraging it's kuwaitis think in his arm strength. It is just and also dependable for us and the elite performer. Mean that you didn't know Lester shortly ankle our rotation. And that -- it took a picnic where we'd be without a -- -- -- what are your what was your analysis of yesterday's game from both sides I mean you look at. And pitching performances from Lackey. By the end of the twins also pitched very well mean what what do you think was. With -- what was getting out to you in that game from both perspectives I think well noteworthy. Era of two very good pitchers objections and your state or what should be successful career what you consider -- pedigree and stuff he has. But I'll just within you know you you get the big game after a night game in the weight. It was the first church were here and play without thought you know what each team would probably gonna help one push. Each team or any team to three run probably and and being the deciding factor he just had that feeling of pride in day games after night game. Thankfully John Lackey who's as good as it was for a long. Then we find ourselves in the heart of the order after they. After probably hit the go ahead homer off of also -- -- which fortunately it's just going to let him walk to blossom and was -- -- eventually. Done obviously when you talk about the after the Gibson. Through you guys yesterday you know he is the third longest scoreless streak in twins history so. This guy is is is no slouch and he's in the middle of like 23 in a row. But other you'll also face other pitches where you thought maybe. The offense with spring to life a little bit how much of a concern knowing the -- getting great pitching right now is the fact that your offense still isn't scoring runs. Well I think it's well document -- we we hear about it every day and that doesn't change our approach. Is it that. Setting aside yesterday kitchen shut down. What -- a number of games we're still we're getting multiple people on base. Our -- in leaving a lot of people are based -- we know that runners score position batting average for strictly with two outs. It is uncharacteristically. Low. It forged a couple that with two outs. You know we're saying it routinely is that Giant Eagle or pictures or art navigating their way to a lot of they're gonna choose who they -- saves to -- the -- off. That is the case reputedly. And I do know this and that sent them and his -- lectures and others. What he's doing whatever care and wood which makes so that makes sense for the Red Sox who proved. It anywhere that we can't now. You can point to the guys that have been here for a number years in bookstore and all of them are are firmly believe that there are there are times when guys are trying to ability. Beat the guy in that moment where you know we over playing over there and strikes well at times. Well there's been a lack of putting ourselves in the position to score runs we're still doing out of the -- -- great. Our job for the last couple days we've talked about David Ortiz. And his issue with the official score before -- get into his reaction. I wanna know what did you think of the call. Well I think I returned the player goes above and beyond what normal you know global effort. You're probably your side to the to the hitter and there is one -- national -- all the power you know expand -- you know. Lot of -- You know what there's there's a system -- place for that review and I'm sure that place. Well put all our our our respect to David era in the other stretch -- -- in your word and not hitting it there ought to be average and he typically does the shift as fickle a number of -- away which. That that's a well documented -- fault at some frustration charter -- -- -- yesterday -- There's David has done so many times you put what sort of happened behind the in the dugout as the game tying home run so as that that was due process Russell Walt -- take its course. I'm going to play the game obviously managing the game now wondering. As a player from your experience as a player in dealing with players. You think most of them know what official scorers do mean David made a reference yesterday to the official scores at Fenway Park being against them -- supposed to be some home cooking involved I think most those guys. Have an understanding of of what the job is. I think you do you know I. Began and the time that you're directly in all that it Republican Gilbert biased I would say as well -- An objective view former official scorer is surely not always a line with a player -- that's all part -- our stick and play for a long. The game has been played so. What I do though is their futures in the review process such and players that -- it will static and I'm sure. And it kept -- a little bit it'll be -- There are times when being the manager being the general manager of a baseball team is not necessarily a fun thing. I assume that was the case earlier this week when you had to have a talk with Grady Sizemore. Yeah are -- thing. More importantly. Dallas you know Grady Sizemore represents everything that is. Good and great about the game and the way guys play at it and the way guys approach charts. And get if you look at individual gold history and individual track records in the -- and crazy amount of injury he fought back from an -- all the rehab because of -- -- -- great years as a person that wasn't an easy conversation and unfortunately. You know -- to order plus play the truckers. We felt like we need to upgrade work -- can and that's aren't going in and Brady are fortunate in this case was the victim of change. -- No we we know that we've got to try to get as much production out of our our solar return. And we'll make those changes to try to just. They're John that -- -- perfectly into today's. Mohegan Sun question. -- you can have dinner with John Ferrell if your questions chosen and been a -- is a candidate for that been dropped from Woodstock Connecticut. Wants to know John how much influence do you have in sending a player back to the minors. I don't know I have -- it I don't know there's a certain percentage you can say it but. Because Michael -- and the -- and others are our daily every hole is well aware. You know the situation that we -- and will be given positioned merchant player. Now I will say that there are times where you pound the table so portable players that you know what I believe in this guy even though the number -- short right now. So you'd you try to. Should all that support. It would it would be given a given player. But I think at some point you know you have to be objective -- and what our needs is a team and an -- where some of those decisions you take place. And -- done a lot of thought Brock cold and you know he's. Better breath of fresh air is a great athlete -- in east you know had to really almost played. Two games that day while learning one position and then gonna look easy but. Kind of a two part question have you ever been on a team -- had to use a player like you views Brock and when you go to sleep but -- -- -- ever lose a week or -- thinking what are we doing to this kid. Well first -- first part of you know I've I've never been a team that's had a player as versatile. And it hurt not only them. The versatility that he -- what's important because he's anchoring a leadoff spot -- that early on a little bit of a -- for all dorsal. Whatever you want to keep about a lineup you don't we've been more open mind it's. -- throwing him in a position where there's been cool little -- no. Were leading up to. And he's worked so. Were fortunate we've got a guy that you as you mentioned athletic. That has a baseball instincts and doesn't allow. Maybe limited access are limited exporter that position over the plate or am I gonna get in Paris in this position -- academic player -- level. None of that match. I also think just like you say how much can we can you expect -- hole because. The start went from fighting for utility jobs certain our lead -- -- playing. People are saying what are your that we can put -- on the plate and during the September 3 at the euphoria that is created a I think what he's doing he's carving out the beginning of what should be its just a -- career. To what extent who knows. What were fortunate we've dug out there of course felt -- With Brandon Workman suspension being upheld by a Major League Baseball and you've got a hole in your rotation for tomorrow's game have you guys made a decision on that yet. -- you're -- -- start tomorrow I need to travel -- this out here after the ruling came down what you. The other gonna -- out a little little puzzled by it took so long Tuesday the same six game and so yemen's Arabian and nine game suspension really when you look at it. While guarding you you didn't make that. Argument for Brandon -- -- can -- -- is regardless but. You know. By starting the suspension yesterday and -- It looks like a ministers -- won't start and then -- -- we -- sure there. Current situation moving parts here and are on rehab. Brandon situation is doing quite well also -- -- -- -- definitely speak where -- pocket. So what we've got a cute instrument to editors. How wanna follow up on the island unto outfielders one if you're gonna call Brock -- an outfielder that kind of goes into my question. I know he has versatility what do you believe his best position this for you guys. Was that position there's perched at the one he has about it yet. Well I -- Taylor is that position -- -- lead -- -- -- how we get the most legal. You know plays and to -- or you know long term our problem we're sitting here today one project what is. Long term the -- The factors. He certainly put up short group and neighbors all. What would but with being able to play in a position without you don't achieve that and use super utility ours. You know in the game anymore why I don't know what Chauncey and one guy that really stands out others. There's been dispersal and back successful. As a player out there and number positions. -- Steve Lyons is raising his hand that we -- up yet he had I didn't hit me at 29 errors and and 1988 started off. I don't know that versatility gals but what also follow opened Sizemore what did you see in spring training that wasn't able to translate. During the regular season was it just the the grind of a playing every day they got to -- what was it that it just didn't carry over three regular season. -- Michael were pretty sure some spring training and that's where our medical staff was and also -- the the plan that we put in place for his progression. What we're seeing -- spring training. Was not only encouraging probably a little bit unexpected strengths are and go all the way we felt like there was going to be further Rose was -- -- -- play. Growth in fact our production. You know maybe or maybe some explosiveness and some power. And we saw -- complex so. And we're so culmination of our parents are the way we've played the way we performed and also group. We just felt like. Yet what that -- continue on she's gonna need every bit back and you know we didn't feel like we -- those. We're open mind at depending on what takes place now the free agent we we would provide that a -- -- if he felt like it was a situation that was beneficial to him but we felt like it didn't progress. They took what we expected to once we got to spring training the first 45 weeks. Final question before we let you go at this moment are all signs point toward chain victory knows return on Monday. -- your question -- world -- it's going to be incomplete he was held out today because -- some stiffness. And wasn't able to go so world or in its database situation as much as we need to expect source. We've got to get some level of credibility here every paper penalty before he is actually. John we appreciate time is always good luck out there will talk to next week. We are -- take care that is -- John Ferrell. Red Sox manager joining us from Oakland well we buried the lead immediately realize that Shane Victorino held out of today's rehab start and attack -- not with stiffness. Nine that day and you're exactly right not coming out Monday that. If if they're already at this stage having to hold him out now and doesn't sound as though although he's eligible to return on Monday. Certainly puts into question whether that's gonna happen. He got mad not to my -- in right field we're not gonna have a lot of measly roster gone you know one day on Monday off until it appeared out the I got to put him on the roster until they come play him. A couple days in a row then maybe give the day off and then playing a couple more days and then get him a day off and then run it out there every day. And if he's being held out of rehab assignments right now. He's nowhere near being ready come back. Think there's a kid in the system. Their kid in the system who was. Who was prepared to play in the majors right now and outfielder. And well that the name we all know in and he his batting averages close and and on 300 at triple -- level now the start a little slow and that's to be expected when last I checked a day or so ago he was up to 292. In Pawtucket. I mean we know we can field. Because Darren and Eric and and we'll talk about it. And in a few minutes here they are in position. I got a lot of weird things going on the -- and the Red Sox you know the traditional things that we're used to our. The Red Sox Indians. I guess semi playoff. Position. -- seven games out of the division lead other four games on the wild card. You're used to the Red Sox not talking about the playoffs in June and not being totally out of it that's on on one hand yes that's that's what we all. What we're all familiar with that the threats from the other hand. Our guys dropping like flies got -- -- playing third got blocked Brock COLT. Playing first to get Rocco playing left center right all over the place. And now -- -- you know Shane Victorino. Is not gonna come back Jackie Bradley junior has struggled to hit. On one hand you think -- it go out and and and plug this plug this hole and then put a band aid here and have a hand. And got some kids in the system. Bring up the kids to fill the holes. By the way just checked smoky Betts is up to hitting 310 now. The other one more hit addict and a guy girl that got fifty at bats is that a white flag he forgot to bring about is that white black he's got 58 at bats. He's got eighteen hits couple of doubles triple two home runs nine runs batted in. Yeah I don't think I'm -- so it's not not in his case because he's a prospect that debt if they bring about. They're gonna expect his at bats to mean something at the Red Sox aren't in an organization where you can. Retool -- the re load and that's you know that's the situation that they're in the eight. They cannot tell Red Sox fans we're gonna give up on this year -- which I don't hear a little while ago there -- ten games back what I say they had to make a one game. On the division leaders every ten days hasn't been ten days since then and it made up three so ahead in the right direction but still planning it time for them to get to the top of the division we got a lot talk about baseball on the docket believe it or not. The Patriots in the middle of some controversy again. And coach Bill Belichick. And Pat Riley was -- man and I never thought I'd ever say that. That's all of coming Sports Radio WEEI.

Local Man Murdered At Ocean Village
Local Man Murdered
At Ocean Village
By Howard Schwach
A local man was shot dead on Friday, May 2 in front of 57-15 Shore Front Parkway, in the Ocean Village complex.
According to Police sources, Randolph Jackson, 39, who lived in that building, was shot once in the chest by an unknown assailant who fled the scene.
Jackson was removed to Peninsula Hospital Center by Emergency Medical Service personnel and was declared dead at the hospital shortly after his arrival.
Police sources told The Wave that they had not yet identified the type of gun used to kill Jackson, although there was some conjecture that the gun was some type of pellet gun and that the pellet penetrated Jackson's chest and vital organs, causing his death. Detectives from the 100 Squad would not speak about the type of weapon used in the homicide.
Police officials also refused to conjecture on whether Jackson's murder was connected to the ongoing dispute between residents of Ocean Village and residents of Ocean Bay Houses, a dispute that has caused many problems in past months.
"The investigation is ongoing at this time," a source at the office of the NYPD's Deputy Commissioner of Public Information said. "Jackson was shot by persons unknown for reasons unknown."

YouTube Partners Can Now Sell Merch, Tickets, Songs
YouTube partners are already able to make money from ads placed on or next to the videos and clips they upload, but it looks like they're about to get a whole new way to make money from their audience.
YouTube this week announced the launch of a new feature for YouTube partners called "The Merch Store." As if it weren't abundantly clear from the name, the Merch Store will enable YouTube partners to sell merchandise to viewers directly from the partner's channel. Thanks to collaborations with TopSpin, SongKick, iTunes and Amazon, partners can sell merchandise, as well as concert tickets and song downloads.
YouTube partners around the world should see the Merch Store appear over the coming weeks. While it will certainly prove useful for big name artists, like Lady GaGa and Justin Bieber, we're expecting smaller YouTube partners to benefit even more from the additional revenue channel.
thats kind of like asking why amazon wasnt like it is now, from day one...
setting up the efficient infrastructure takes a crap ton of time.

Weather in Suzhou

Suzhou has two kinds of weather: air conditioning (AC) on and AC off.
It has been three days since Bobby, Ben, and I arrived in Suzhou, and, unfortunately to us, it had been AC off.
The weather bureau is located at the front counter of the hotel we are staying at. Naively thinking that the AC was not functioning correctly after we flipped all the possible switches in the tiny, threadbare hotel room, we went down to ask the front desk to fix the AC as we went out to get dinner. By the time we returned to the room, Ben and I heard the assuring, moderately loud hum of a ventilation mechanism. The relief was short-lived; the air was not cold. It finally occurred to us that the central AC was off!
The receptionist at the front desk is a mild-mannered girl with few smiles. Asked why the AC was off, she said, "AC will not be turned on today. The weather is cool enough."
The temperature in Suzhou has been in the 80's and 90's since we were here. Technically it wasn't bad, and I guess anyone can get by, if necessary, without AC. But has anyone noticed the humidity? It can be a killer to someone who is not used to the weather, jet-lagged, culture-shocked, and almost illiterate in Chinese. Such is the case with Jeff. Jeff and his group came to Suzhou for a short-term language and culture study, and they are having a tough time dealing with the AC off days. Judy decided to buy a simple purple electric fan after learning that the forecast of the "weather bureau" had been inexplicably set at AC off. The rest of the group is still coping, with a simmering anxiety that some health problems may pop up any day now.
Weather stayed AC off until last night. The weather bureau decided that the weather should change. When the first breath of cool air blew down from the ventilation grid, Ben and I both looked up, unbelievably. We threw open our doors and saw other people of the study-abroad group popped their heads out in amazement. It was as if we were the villagers who got the first raindrop after years of draught.
Weather, as unpredictable as it is, changed to AC off sometime during the night. As I woke up this morning and peeked outside the window, I anticipate the forecast for day - AC off with 50% of scattered shower. Humidity: 90%.

Ripoff Report
Virginia CollegeParadise PKWY Internet United States of America
Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
I am writing about Virgina College, This is the 3 time I am haveing to repeat classes
I feel they are riping me off in getting the money again from my Finance Aid And grant money
Itook an additonal money out back in Oct of 2008 which I thougt is for to help in all catagoryies, like tution and books and liveing expensies. I have not gotten any of that money only once a quarter. They have take the most of it,
And in one of my classes I failed because they did not provied me with the proper material for the class. So they failed me, I put in a dispute of grad because of not
having the material that they should have provied me, My dispute was denied, of course, which I think is very unfair.
Ever since I have taken out that additional money last Oct 2008 They have not giveing me much of it, They come back and tell me that they paid for this and that.
Well what is this and that, I wander! They have change there format in putting in assiments now and if you do not do it right It won't get submitted, I found that out the hard way when some of my assignments was not getting posted so I get another bad grade which leades to takeing the class over again.
I think they have a game they are playing in this and flunking out students who don't do well or who have a learning disbility in my case and they keep makeing me repeat classes to get more money out of me.
They need to be revaluated of there school and they way they are performing
And some of their instructors are very rude and not careing at all and hatefull on their emalsyou get back from them.
This school need a wake up call on very thing they have done to studends and getting by with it,
Thanks for listening

The FBI has opened an investigation into allegations that News Corporation sought to hack into the phones of 11 September victims.
The news came as American politicians called for a US investigation to be mounted into the phone-hacking scandal.
The FBI's New York office last night confirmed the investigation was under way. There has been no response from News Corp.
A key member of Congress's investigations committee joined the clamour for a US-based inquiry into the allegations that News Corp staff broke American anti-bribery laws or violated the privacy of 9/11 victims.
Bruce Baley, the vice-chairman of the investigations and oversight committee, said that Congress had "important oversight responsibilities" to get "to the bottom of this evolving scandal".
The fall-out from the controversy crossed the Atlantic with a vengeance as Congressman Baley suggested that News Corp may have engaged in "political espionage or personal espionage".
Mr Baley was speaking after other US lawmakers urged federal officials to find out if News Corp broke a law banning bribes to foreign officials. The call was made in response to accusations that News of the World journalists paid cash to police officers.
The US Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) prohibits payments intended to influence any act or decision of a foreign official. Democratic senators Barbara Boxer, Jay Rockefeller and Frank Lautenberg on Wednesday asked Attorney General Eric Holder and Securities and Exchange Commission Chairman Mary Schapiro to look into potential FCPA violations.
"The reported allegations against News Corp are very serious and indicate potentially thousands of victims and a pattern of illegal activity. It is important to ensure that no US laws were broken and no US citizens were victimised," Mr Rockefeller and Mr Boxer wrote in a letter sent to the Attorney General and the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Mr Lautenberg claimed that, as a US-based company, News Corp and its employees are subject to the anti-bribery provisions of the FCPA.
He said: "The limited information already reported in this case raises serious questions about the legality of the conduct of News Corporation and its subsidiaries under the FCPA."
Hacking scandal latest:
• In pictures: Hacking - the key names and faces
• OK, we'll be there: climbdown by Murdochs
• Top official warned Brown over 'motivation' for public inquiry
• Son's fury after Murdoch Snr withdraws BSkyB bid
• De Menezes family targeted
• Questions that the inquiries will have to answerMedia pundits, including CourtTV founder Steve Brill, have raised questions over whether News Corp's US broadcast licence could be revoked, given that federal communications law requires owners of TV stations to be "of good character".
US interest in the hacking scandal was given fresh momentum by the suggestion that 9/11 victims' phones were hacked.
The suggestion was based on a Daily Mirror report claiming that a former New York police officer turned private investigator was alleged to have been contacted by News of the World journalists. It was claimed that they offered him money to retrieve the phone numbers of the dead and details of the calls that they had made and received in the days before the attack on the Twin Towers. News International has said there is "no evidence" to support this allegation.
But last night Melanie Sloan, of Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, said: "There is some evidence to suggest that the News of the World attempted to hack into the phones of 9/11 victims."
If it was proved that the phones of 9/11 victims had been hacked, Ms Sloan said it would be a "huge scandal" in America.
"We need to ask questions here in the US whether the same tactics have been used in the US and whether British journalists used these tactics against Americans," she added.
Coverage of the phone-hacking story by Murdoch-owned media outlets in the US has provoked much comment from observers. Although Fox News, the enormous Murdoch television enterprise, is now reporting on the scandal, there were eyebrows raised when there was no mention of News Corp's decision to withdraw its bid for BSkyB when the news broke.
In contrast, the Wall Street Journal, one of the most revered of the Murdoch titles, has been reporting the story.
In Rupert Murdoch's native Australia there was also a backlash. His company News Limited has announced an audit of expenditure by its Australian newspapers in a bid to ensure their journalistic practices are clean.The head of Mr Murdoch's Australian division, John Hartigan, said: "We will be conducting a thorough review of all editorial expenditure over the past three years to confirm payments to contributors and other third parties were for legitimate services."
Mr Hartigan has previously said he believes the group's Australian outlets, which include the Herald Sun in Melbourne and The Australian, have not engaged in the types of practices that forced the closure of the News of the World.

a friend (owns an auto body shop) installed a '02 wrx rear hatch on my '04 wrx hatchback (my car was rear ended) to save me some money.
now i have no radio reception... i think that the '04 rear window had a radio in the glass, whereas it looks like the '02 does not. is this true?
or could be a simple matter of shop has not connecting the ant. wire correctly?
if its the former, i.e. an issue where the 02 glass has no in-glass antenna, what are my options for getting the radio reception back? install an external antenna? or just have the glass replaced with '04 glass? (the latter will be $500 or so)
thanks all. mergs
p.s. hey moderator, sorry... i don't mean to intentionally crosspost but i think that my original thread was in the wrong forum:
02 rear hatch on a 04 = no radio

Moore's the pity for US health industry
Los Angeles
Page Tools
Michael Moore rumours are flying.
Photo: Reuters
America's pharmaceutical industry is putting out an advisory about the latest potential threat to its health: Michael Moore.
The filmmaker whose targets have included General Motors (Roger & Me), the gun lobby (the Oscar-winning Bowling for Columbine) and President George Bush (Fahrenheit 9/11), has now set his sights on the health-care industry, including insurance companies, the US Food and Drug Administration and drug companies.
At least six of the nation's largest companies have already warned their workforces of potential ambushes.
"We ran a story in our online newspaper saying Moore is embarking on a documentary, and if you see a scruffy guy in a baseball cap, you'll know who it is," said Stephen Lederer, a spokesman for Pfizer's global research and development arm.
In September and October, GlaxoSmithKline, the second-largest in retail sales, as well as AstraZeneca and Wyeth, sent out Moore alerts, instructing employees that questions should be handled by corporate communications. Heavyweights Sanofi-Synthelabo and Aventis Pharmaceuticals each sent similar memos before their recent merger.
Others, including Bristol-Myers Squibb and Novartis Pharmaceuticals, send periodic messages about dealing with the media but have not singled out Moore by name. Johnson & Johnson declined to comment.
Moore's project is only the latest bit of bad news for the beleaguered industry.
Canada is undercutting US drug prices, and health budgets are being slashed. And then there is increased scrutiny by the drug administration, whose supervision of the industry and its relationship to it is raising many questions.
"We have an image problem, not only with Michael Moore, but with the general public," said M. J. Fingland, senior director of communications for the Washington-based Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America.
"We're criticised on Capitol Hill and in the press - put in the category of the tobacco industry, even though we save lives."
Pharmaceutical executives are bracing for the worst. "Moore's past work has been marked by negativity, so we can only assume it won't be a fair and balanced portrayal," said Rachel Bloom, of AstraZeneca.
"His movies resemble docudramas more than documentaries."
Rumours already are flying in the industry about Moore's tactics. Moore, it is said, has hired actors to portray pharmaceutical salesmen who offer gifts to doctors who promote their products.
There is also word that he has offered doctors $US50,000 ($A65,000) each to install secret cameras in their offices in the hope of recording corruption.
In September, employees said that Moore was shoving a microphone at people at GlaxoSmithKline, Ms Bloom notes, even though he was in town only for a radio job.
Tentatively titled Sicko, Moore's film will probably be released in the first half of 2006.

With few other outlets...
With few other outlets, inmates review prisons on Yelp
By Caitlin Dewey, April 27, 2013
Prisons around the country have
been reviewed on everything from mediocre food to serious abuse on Yelp. The
Los Angeles County Jail (not pictured above) has a two-star rating based on 20
Yelp reviews. One review by user Gigi D.,who has nine check-ins to the location
reads: "Well all I can say is I would rather be on the outside of this place
than the inside." Rich
Lawyer Robert Miller has visited five prisons and 17 jails in his lifetime, but he has reviewed only three of them on Yelp. One he found "average," with inexperienced and power-hungry officers. Another he faulted for its "kind of very firmly rude staff." His most recent review, a January critique of Theo Lacy jail in Orange County, Calif., lauds the cleanliness, urban setting and "very nice" deputies.
Miller gave it five out of five stars.
"I started reviewing because I needed something to kill time while I waited to see clients," said Miller, who has worked as a private defense lawyer in Southern California for 18 years. "But I think the reviews are actually helpful for bail bondsmen, attorneys, family members — a lot of people, actually."
As Miller acknowledges, it's not the kind of helpful testimonial commonly found on Yelp, the popular consumer reviews site many people turn to for recommendations on, say, bowling alleys and Chinese takeout. But as Yelp grows more popular — logging 36 million reviews as of last quarter — lawyers as well as prison inmates and their family members have turned to the site to report mediocre food and allegations of serious abuse. They join the enterprising reviewers who have used Yelp to critique traffic signals and public bathrooms.
Because Yelp does not break out statistics by business type, it's difficult to tell how many jails and prisons have been reviewed in the 19 countries covered by the site. (Yelp declined to comment for this article, aside from noting that users may review any business with a physical address, as long as the review follows site guidelines.) In the Washington region, six incarceration facilities have earned reviews, including two in 2013.
"Jail food may get a bad rap. . .but jail EMPLOYEE food is off the chain," wrote one woman of a local jail cafeteria, where $1.50 apparently buys a plate of chicken, green beans, wheat bread, dessert and fresh, not instant, mashed potatoes.
"At no time did the officer violate any of my constitutional privileges and even gave me a juice box after I said I was thirsty," reads another review, this one of the Arlington County Detention Facility. "Yes, you heard right, they have juice boxes!. . .So if you're going to get arrested, do it in Arlington County."
Arlington County Sheriff Beth Arthur read that comment with more than a little confusion — the facility has neither juice boxes nor a range of other things "Windi L." referred to in her review.
"I thought, 'Wait a minute, I don't understand what she's talking about,' " Arthur said. "I almost thought she meant the old facility, but this one has been here 20 years."
"Every allegation we get, we investigate," said Stephen Whitmore, spokesman for Los Angeles County Sheriff Lee Baca. He notes that the jail has also its share of four- and five-star reviews. "But this Yelp phenomenon I find curious," Whitmore said. "Jail isn't a restaurant. It isn't seeing a movie. You're doing time for committing a crime."
Bad reviews aren't unique to Los Angeles. In New York, one user wrote that officers pressure inmates going through drug withdrawal to lie about their symptoms, presumably so the jail doesn't have to provide treatment.
"Unlike those TV shows, it's really best to have as little interaction with the CO's as possible," the review says, referring to corrections officers. " 'Cos, if you DO[irritate them] . . .your paperwork CAN 'disappear.' Seen it happen."
Lawyers from California and Illinois have complained about security procedures that stop them from seeing clients. A woman in Austin alleged that workers in a local jail threatened her with bolt-cutters and tied her to a chair for hours without bathroom breaks. One reviewer claimed a Seattle jail did not return the money he had with him when he entered.
"This was the worst experience of my life and I am a combat veteran from Iraq," wrote another Seattle reviewer. "I would rather re-live Basic and the evil Drill Sergeant's. I would rather be in the box."
Mistreatment is rampant, said Jack Beck, who heads the prison inspection group for the legislatively sanctioned Correctional Association of New York. In particular, he said, his group has struggled to address conflicts between staff and inmates.
The Correctional Association inspects 60 prisons in New York and annually surveys about 55,000 inmates who remain anonymous. Based on that work, Beck said, the association has uncovered serious problems — such as mentally ill patients sent, inappropriately, to solitary confinement — and has advocated reforms.
"We teach them, inside of prison, that the rule of law is not effective," Beck said. "There is no redress. . . .Most people survive by keeping their heads down."
That complaint is echoed by David Fathi, director of the National Prison Project of the American Civil Liberties Union, who said his group receives 300 to 400 written complaints each month about prison conditions. That number does not include the phone calls and e-mails the project receives or the complaints addressed to the ACLU's state branches. Almost none of those grievances make it to court. So Yelp reviews, Fathi said, could prove to be pretty powerful.
"Prisons and jails are closed institutions, and the lack of outside scrutiny and oversight sometimes facilitates mistreatment and abuse," Fathi said. "So anything that increases public awareness of prison conditions is a positive thing."
Not all of those reviews are accurate, of course, and many may come from pranksters who don't care about the travails of prison life. The reviews also won't necessarily prompt systemic change — it's not like a detention center relies on good Yelp reviews for business the way some restaurants and small businesses do.But Miller, the California lawyer, said the reviews can help educate professionals who work with the prison system and inform the public about the conditions inmates face.
"It helps elevate consciousness of the problems and brings transparency and oversight to a system that isn't used to being transparent," Miller said. "That's a very valuable tool."

Unnamed Chokuzan
this wiki
List of unnamed Chokuzan.
Commander Edit
The Chokuzan commander was the captain of a warship that intercepted the Delta Flyer II in the Clevari system, ordering Q, Junior, to surrender, as he had violated Chokuzan space. The Chokuzan fired a weapon that injured Icheb with omicron radiation. Captain Janeway and Q, Junior returned to the Chokuzan starship, because in order to save Icheb they needed to know what type of weapon was used.
When the Chokuzan Captain agreed to give them the information to save Icheb, he also told them Captain Janeway would be punished for Q, Junior's actions. Junior did not agree and took full responsibility, even it meant execution, to save the life of his friend. The commander then revealed himself to be Q, and he was just testing his son's response. (VOY: "Q2")

AGORA DE LA DANSE is unique in North America. Located on Cherrier Street in Montreal's trendy Plateau area, the Agora is an entire building dedicated to the exploration and creation of contemporary dance. This year, the new season opens with a North American exclusive of DESTINATION DANSE FRANCE, which showcases France's most talented dancers. From September 16-26, you can catch Julie Nioche's Matter, a dance performance about feminism and identity, Pierre Rigal's Press, a choreographic work about solitude from a dancer who was first an athlete, then economist and filmmaker, Nacera Belaza's Le Cri, which borrows elements from traditional Algerian folklore with music from Maria Callas and Amy Winehouse, as well as Fabrice Lamber's Abstraction + Gravité, a remarkable experience on memory. Agora de la danse's regular program also includes many works from incredibly talented Canadian choreographers from the Montreal dance scene, such as Chantal Lamirande's Projet X and Jocelyne Montpetit's Nuit_Nacht_Notte.
DANSE DANSE, a Montreal-based dance promoter, also offers a vast program of performances from the four courners of the world. (Last year, Juliette Binoche presented a dance performance in collaboration with Akram Khan.) This season's line-up includes Uprising in Your Rooms from British artist Hofesh Shechter, a flamenco performance from Myriam Allard called La Otra Orilla, and Grupo Corpo's new creation, Breu Parabelo. All Danse Danse events take place in the downtown area, usually at the Place des Arts Theatre Maisonneuve or Centre Pierre-Péladeau.
LES GRANDS BALLETS CANADIENS, one of the top ballet companies in Canada, presents impressive creations from both local and international artists every year. From the classic Nutcracker during the holiday season to a retrospective of Jirí Kylián's work with three exclusive dance performances, this season's program is quite amazing.
There's something unspeakable you can communicate with dance. Something that theatre, cinema and even everyday conversations will never achieve. Silence and physical movement can be much more powerful than words. Every time I attend a dance performance, I feel the urge to go back to contemporary dance and never write a single paragraph again.

Josh Brolin Takes His Grizzled Self to the Santa Barbara Film Festival
I've yet to have a chance to check out "No Country for Old Men" in theaters (thanks to the self-imposed Britney-Watch I've been keeping), but I just recently read the book on which the movie was based and the whole time, I was picturing the three main characters as Josh Brolin, Javier Bardem and Tommy Lee Jones.
Here's Josh with wife, Diane Lane, and their daughters from previous marriages Eden and Eleonora at the Santa Barbara International Film Festival. I have a huge crush on Josh, even though I know I probably shouldn't, and personally think the movie should be changed to "No Country for Old (and or Homely) Men." Sorry Tommy Lee.

Notable & Quotable
From W.H. Auden's "September 1, 1939," published in October 1939:
I sit in one of the dives
On Fifty-second Street
Uncertain and afraid
As the clever hopes expire
Of a low dishonest decade:
Waves of anger and fear
Circulate over the bright
And darkened lands of the earth,
Obsessing our private lives;
The unmentionable odour of death
Offends the September night. . . .
Exiled Thucydides knew
All that a speech can say
About Democracy,
And what dictators do,
The elderly ...

If he left they would have Nicks, JJ, and Randle. If he stayed and they lost Nicks it would be Cruz, JJ, and Randle. It looks like the first combination might be better.
Yup. If they stay healthy, keep Bennett, get a RT, sign Beatty, and have Eli play better his year they could be very good. Throw some speedy RB's in there, still miss Bradshaw, and this team could be unstoppable on offense.
Someone might give up the first if they are closer to the back end of the first round, and feel that the addition of Cruz could put them over the top. An example: St. Louis Rams. Even though they just picked up Titus Young, adding a guy like Cruz with the second of their two first rounders would not be a terrible move. All of a sudden the WR corps would become a strength on that team with viable weapons for Bradford. Not saying it'll happen, just that it could.
The situation with Wallace is a very similar situation. An organization that doesn't overspend on free agents, an underpaid top ten receiver... Last year's free agent market for WRs was substantially stronger though. If a team has multiple needs AND multiple picks in the early rounds, it wouldn't be the worst move ever. The only other consideration in my book is whether or not a team feels they have a QB who can get him the ball.

Building roof over a deck
I have an existing deck that is 12'w x 42' l. The deck has the cross beam under the floor joists at 10', then the 2' overhang.(to make up the 12') So my question is how could I build the post supports for the roof so that the posts are not 2' into the deck(in order to be on the beam underneath?) but rather out on the cantilever in line with the railings. The deck is 9' off the ground and do NOT want to add attitional posts to support the cantilevers.
Just to avoid those asking if posts are adeqate to support the roof, The posts are to engineer's specs to handle a roof. Original engineered design was for a 10x42 deck with a roof. Unfortunately the 2 foot cantilevers is now causing me a design issue.
Thanks for your suggestions
Pictures would help.
Size of posts and joists - size of beams?
Spacing of joists?
Sorry dark outside right now can't take pic's. The joists are 2x10 (16 on center), beam is 3 2x10's and the posts are 6x6's.
You should probably consult your local "Code Enforcement Entity" -
Building Dept.
Tell them what you've got - maybe have them look at it.
Tell them what you want to do.
If I understand you correctly, the original design called for posts near the end of the joists (approximately 12 feet from the house). The posts were designed to carry through the deck in line and extended (8 feet?) above the deck to support the roof. Apparently the deck was built slightly differently than the plans, where you now have a two foot cantilever, and you want to install the roof support posts approximately in the same location as originally.
If this is correct, you will now be imposing a point load on the cantilever side of whichever joist you attach to. This type of load certainly was not anticipated in the original design. Not to say that it won't work, but it needs to be engineered. If your building inspector is unwilling to sign off on this modification, as I suspect is likely to happen, you are probably going to have to go back to the original designer to get your deck redesigned.
The deck was designed to be 10' wide and the beam was at 10' as well, lumber yard only had 12' joists so I decided to keep the extra 2'. In any case I do agree with you that having the roof posts out on the cantilever just seems like a bad idea but wanted to get some thoughts/opinions before I moved forward with getting an engineer involved.
the only way to effectively have the posts at the edge of the deck is to a) install another beam at the edge of the deck which is sitting on piers or cut back the deck eliminating the cantilever
I can't say much that hasn't already been said just another vote of no.
Last year we tore down a double decker that had been built similar, the lower deck was 12' out from the house with a beam and posts at 10' out, the upper deck was 12' out with a beam and posts at 12'... The weight of the upper deck was pushing the rim right off the lower deck horribly. We had to support the upper deck with a temp beam to even tear it down.
Thanks to everyone who replied. I knew it wasn't likely feasible, you saved me from having my engineer charge me to tell me the same thing.
This will transfer the load on top of the Glulam outside which can support the posts and roof and itself with the 2' overhang. Again, this is an option that I have done framing. You have to see if it can be done in your area.
Have to agree with Joe. Adding knee braces on a 45 back to the posts will help. Also suggest you install upside down beam saddles ( alike to joist hangers) at the house end of the new beams. The cantilever will create uplift at the house end.
I'm not sure I understand your suggestions? are you just saying to add a new beam and new posts under the 12' point of the floor joists instead of the current 10' point + (2 foot cantilever) ?
Not sure to whom your question is directed.
Perhaps a drawing would clarify this

text: CONSHOHOCKEN, Pa., March 21, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- ePharmaSolutions, a leading clinical services and eClinical solutions provider, and CenterWatch, a top provider of clinical research business information and the leading online publisher of active clinical trial listings for patients and the public, are partnering to provide sponsors and patients with a novel solution that will increase the opportunities for patients to find trials for which they may qualify. Only 5% of patients who respond to a specific patient recruitment advertisement ever end up participating, for one reason or another. This is very discouraging for those patients who are highly motivated to gain access to experimental treatments through clinical trials. Until now, 95% of patients who responded to a recruitment advertisement but were ineligible to participate are ever introduced to other studies for which they might qualify. ePharmaSolutions and CenterWatch, along with a consortium of the largest pharmaceutical companies and contract research organizations in the world, are aiming to change that through a collaborative effort called the 'Referral Plus' Initiative. The Referral Plus Initiative uses a proprietary technology platform developed by ePharmaSolutions that programmatically matches patients who screen and disqualify from one trial into other "like" studies using a geo-therapeutic matching algorithm that links the patients' screening responses to entry criteria of the studies listed on the platform in real time. Patients who are not matched to active studies are invited to register with PatientLive™, a Microsoft based application that provides patients with personalized information about approved medications, new medical therapies and new clinical trial opportunities for their condition(s) provided by CenterWatch and hosted in Microsoft HealthVault. For pharmaceutical companies, Referral Plus helps optimize the millions of dollars spent on patient recruitment advertising while providing patients who respond to those advertisements with better chances to find studies for which they may qualify.

Commission Watch
CPUC questioned historic oversight authority.
To guarantee the continued growth of liquefied natural gas (LNG) importation and use in the United States, the energy industry needs to pay close attention to govern the regulation, siting, and operation of LNG import terminals-issues traditionally overseen by the federal government. States may have a number of reasons for wanting to establish oversight authority over LNG import terminals, but these efforts, no matter how well intentioned, would have the impact of curtailing the development of LNG facilities at a time when the United States is in urgent need of new sources of natural gas.
The latest such effort was launched by the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) in February and was rebuffed, quite forcefully, by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC). This decision is good news for LNG terminal developers, state agencies, environmentalists, and, most importantly, consumers, because it clarifies and sets forth in decisive language the regulatory path that must be taken if a new terminal is to be built or an existing terminal expanded.
FERC's Decision
On March 24, 2004, FERC issued a declaratory order determining that it has exclusive jurisdiction over the siting, construction, and operation of onshore LNG import terminals. In so doing, FERC reaffirmed its 30-year precedent of reviewing and approving applications for construction and reactivation of LNG import terminals.
This decision came in response to a challenge by the CPUC, in which it had questioned FERC's authority in a February protest to an LNG project application filed by Sound Energy Solutions (SES), a Mitsubishi subsidiary. Surprisingly, the CPUC did not argue that the state commission has concurrent or overlapping jurisdiction, but rather that FERC has over LNG import terminals. This aggressive argument was based on four core components. First, since Section 3 of the Natural Gas Act (NGA) doesn't specifically mention "facilities" for the importation of natural gas or LNG, FERC has no jurisdiction over LNG facilities. Second, the Energy Policy Act of 1992 amended Section 3 of the NGA in such a way as to strip FERC of its authority over LNG terminal facilities. Third, because the terminal facilities and sales of gas would be entirely within the state of California and would connect to an intrastate system-and therefore the transactions were intrastate, not interstate, in character-FERC had no authority to regulate intrastate commerce. Finally, the CPUC contended that, since it has delegated authority from the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) to do safety inspections of intrastate pipelines under the Natural Gas Pipeline Safety Act, it should make the siting and safety determinations on the SES project.
In a strong and decisive order, however, FERC rejected all of the CPUC's arguments. The commission acknowledged that the SES proposal would not involve interstate commerce, but since LNG import terminals are engaged in foreign commerce, they are subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of FERC under Section 3 of the NGA, regardless of whether the imported supplies are subsequently sold or transported in interstate or intrastate commerce.
FERC noted that more than 30 years ago the U.S. Court of Appeals

Livin' Life with My La Sardina: A Fishy Collection of Memories at the Beach2012-04-25 2 8 Share Tweet
Being new to the whole idea of Lomography, it was only recently, when the La Sardina Quadrat came into my life that I was able to finally enjoy and document my life. This, combined with the beautiful textures and colors of the beach in summer lead to this exciting example of a day at the beach in summer
Point Lonsdale is a small town on the south-eastern coast of Victoria, Australia. Unlike the grey, clinical sprawl of an inner city, with a constant wirelessly driven invasion of technology, this little, humble town allows nature to take over. Equipped with only the bare necessities of technology, I spent my summer exploring the rich history this beach had to give in the form of photography with my La Sardina.
Genesis: The beginning.
Sometimes, the pain and effort one puts into a situation is overwhelmed by the result. A point at which all the hardship fades a way in a moment of pure bliss. Waking up at the crack of dawn, whilst the sky was still a soul-consuming abyss of darkness, just to experience the beautiful sunrise was one such example. Whilst climbing out of bed was a challenge, the moment the sun poked its head over the horizon made it all worth it
Time Machine:
Taking a step back in time, I happened to stumble across an old, antiquated remnant of a look-out tower once used in world war one in order to help support Australia's defenses, designed and positioned in such a way as to be able to monitor any invading forces by sea. Although the concrete box may seem mundane initially, it takes only a moment of being in its presence, mixed with some imagination, to experience the historic significance, the sense that years ago, it was here freedom was on the line. Who knows, perhaps if this lookout didn't exist, Australia would not be the wonderful country it is today.
It's Hard to Ignore Good Weather:
Let me paint you a picture: The sky is void of any form of water vapour, any hint of a cloud. The sun is shining, the temperature is rising, its slowly warming up and yet the heat is not at such an extent that one is confined to the safety of an air conditioned room. The puppies are dying to go for a run. What better way to spend a day than at the doggy beach?
Beauty at Night:
Unfortunately, all good things must come to an end and this wonderful day of sunshine was no exception. However, the very fact that we were out of the city, beyond the vast reach of the impure, toxic smog and light-pollution gave rise to an interesting snapshot of my beautiful place of residence at night, mixed with some long exposure light painting just for kicks.
A wonderful summer gives rise to some of the loveliest colors I believe one can experience in nature and the La Sardina was perhaps the best way to capture these colors in their super-saturated glory. However, more importantly it enabled me just to capture it so later, in the dreary depths of winter, I may experience it again. At the end of the day, it's the sharing of memories and experiences which makes photography so important, so what are you waiting for? I would love to hear about your memories too!
Get ready to sail the high seas with our new La Sardina collection! These 35mm cameras are equipped with spectacular wide-angle lens, multiple exposure capabilities, and a rewind dial—everything you need for fun-filled and thrill-soaked escapades. Get your own La Sardina camera now!

Developer Biography
John Michel's position with Red Storm was "Senior Artist: Level Design-Build."
Quoted from his Red Storm bio:
I've lived most of my life in NC, and I grew up mostly in Winston-Salem, pool-hopping and watching movies. I moved to Raleigh to go to educate myself in the ways of the polygon, and landed a contract job at Virtus Corp making template levels and objects for a couple of game editor programs for some very popular FPSs. After some hard work, persistence, and threats of bodily harm, I was offered a job at Red Storm to help prepare the world for the way of life that is Force 21.

Solar Energy Simplified HTML version
You Can Have a Home Powered By Solar Energy
Do you like to live in a home that is energy efficient? The good news is you
can given there are technologies these days that can make that happen
and one good example happens to be solar energy.
Solar energy is the process of using the sun's radiant rays to power your
home. For this to work, you will need to get some solar panels and then
have this install by a contractor.
Ideally, you will need a flat area measuring about a hundred square feet.
This is good to install between 10 to 12 solar panels that can produce about
a kilowatt of power.
If you think 1 kilowatt is small, think again because this is equivalent to
1,600 kilowatts of hours per year. That translates to 5.5 hours of electricity
per day if you are using it to the max. Otherwise, excess power will be
stored in the battery which will help bring electricity to the house during a
blackout or at night.
Aside from the solar panels, you will also need the inverter, battery, charge
controller, wires and support structure. Each of these parts are important
since the system will not work without the other so whoever you choose as
a contractor should have everything ready prior to installation.

Sounds like an interesting book. I have read a few Christian romances by Janette Oke, Dee Henderson, and Francine Rivers and have liked them for the most part. I'd love to read what the author has to say on this subject.ReplyDeleteReplies
It's interesting, informative and insightful, Carol. (Good luck!)Delete
Too bad you have to, um, agreed to downsize your library, Anne. I have often thought I could write a Christian romance, but didn't know the rules, so to speak. Congratulations to whoever wins Writing The Christian Romance! AWESOME if it's ME!! :)ReplyDelete
Hey, Janette! Thanks for dropping by. The main components of Christian romance is a clean, flinch-free read. No gore or sex scenes (especially between unmarried adults). Also, usually one character is struggling with his/her faith, and by the end of the story that like the romance is resolved. Good luck on the draw, and as always, happy writingReplyDelete
