Garcia, Green headed to new teams
White Sox trade Peavy, A's acquire Callaspo in deadline deals
By Jake Seiner / MiLB.com | July 30, 2013 9:35 PM ET
With the non-waiver Trade Deadline less than 24 hours away, two trades were completed Tuesday night involving players who have been dominating Triple-A pitching this season.
The White Sox acquired promising outfielder Avisail Garcia as part of a three-team deal involving the Red Sox and Tigers, while the Angels obtained versatile infielder Grant Green from the American League West-rival Athletics.
In the three-team trade, the Red Sox landed veteran right-hander Jake Peavy from Chicago and Triple-A reliever Brayan Villarreal from Detroit. The Tigers got slick-fielding infielder Jose Iglesias, while Garcia and a trio of Boston Minor Leaguers -- right-handers J.B. Wendelken and Francelis Montas and infielder Cleuluis Rondon -- went to the White Sox.
For Chicago, the biggest piece is Garcia, a 22-year-old who was tearing up the International League after he was assigned to Toledo in late June. He was batting .374 with a .948 OPS in 33 Triple-A games and hit for the cycle on July 7. Ranked No. 3 in the Tigers' farm system before the season by MLB.com, Garcia has played in 53 Major League games over the past two seasons, hitting .269 with a .309 on-base percentage and .354 slugging percentage.
I want to thank EVERYONE in the @tigers organization, Lakeland, West Michigan, Erie and Toledo for everything you guys did for me...- Avisail Garcia (@AvisailGarcia34) July 31, 2013
"Garcia is a very young, five-tool player who already has spent time in the Major Leagues," White Sox general manager Rick Hahn in a statement. "Our scouts are extremely optimistic about his future and view him as a potential impact talent for many years to come."
Wendelken had a 0.20 ERA over 44 innings while closing at Middle Georgia Junior College before the Red Sox selected him in the 13th round of last year's Draft. The 20-year-old posted a 1.27 ERA in 13 appearances last season in the Rookie-level Gulf Coast League and managed a 2.77 ERA with 10 saves in 27 appearances this year for Class A Advanced Salem. Over 65 innings, he struck out 54, walked 20 and held opponents to four homers and a .238 batting average.
Montas was 2-9 with a 5.70 ERA and 96 strikeouts over 85 1/3 innings in 19 appearances (18 starts) for Salem this season. The 20-year-old from the Dominican Republic was one of the hardest throwers in the Red Sox farm system.
Rondon has a reputation as a stellar defensive shortstop. The 19-year-old hit .276 with one homer and a .675 OPS in 37 games with short-season Lowell.
In Villarreal, Boston added a reliever who's showcased an ability to strike batters out at every level. The 26-year-old right-hander had a 3.15 ERA over 34 1/3 innings for Toledo this season, striking out 41 batters and walking 26 without allowing a home run. He's also thrown 4 1/3 innings in the Majors this year and last season had a 2.63 ERA in 50 appearances for the Tigers.
On the West Coast, the Angels flipped infielder Alberto Callaspo for Green, who had been the A's No. 3 prospect.
Callaspo takes his .253 batting average and .671 OPS in 293 at-bats to the division's top team, while the Angels got a 2009 first-round Draft pick (13th overall) who made his Major League debut earlier this month.
Green is a Fullerton, Calif., native who played shortstop at the University of Southern California. He rose steadily through Oakland's system until repeating the Pacific Coast League this season. The A's moved him to the outfield in 2011 and 2012 in an attempt to hasten his arrival in the big leagues but returned him to the infield this year as a second baseman.
The 24-year-old is hitting .325 with an .879 OPS in 87 Triple-A games but went 0-for-15 with six strikeouts after he was called up to Oakland. Prior to the season, MLB.com's Jonathan Mayo wrote that Green had the ability to be an "offensive-minded player" at second base.

Harvey Levin Explains Justin Bieber's Rude Behavior in Deposition Tapes
Photo: Getty Images
By Sierra Marquina
Justin Bieber was not having it during a deposition on Friday in Miami.
TMZ has obtained video showing the 20-year-old acting dismissive and rude while talking to lawyers for more than four hours,as part of a lawsuit in which his bodyguard is accused of allegedly beating up a photographer last June.
"This is insane … he comes off so awful," Harvey Levin tells On Air with Ryan Seacrest about the videos. "He's arrogant, he's dismissive, he's insulting, [and] he's cocky. It's like he knows there's a camera pointed at him and he's still doing this."
In fact, at one point in the video, Justin winks directly into the camera. The pop star also ignored questions and pretended to be asleep at various points, even storming out of the room when asked whether he dated Selena Gomez.
"It probably was a bad question," Harvey admits of the lawyer questioning him about the "Come & Get It" songstress. "That's the drill in these depositions [though], they go all over the place."
However, during other more-reasonable questions, Justin still refused to be cooperative. At one point, he even laughed: "'What is this 60 Minutes? Is this Katie Couric?'"
Harvey adds that Justin "even swore at the court reporter" and concludes at the end of the day, "This is a nothing case … why not just settle it? Why subject yourself to the deposition?"

Doug Marrone is set to try to turn around an NFL team after improving a college program down the road.
Marrone reached an agreement to become the Buffalo Bills' new coach Sunday, three people familiar with the negotiations told The Associated Press. One person said the sides were still putting the finishing touches on the contract for Marrone to sign.
Marrone will replace Chan Gailey, who was fired Dec. 31, a day after the Bills closed their second consecutive season with a 6-10 record and extended the NFL's longest active playoff drought to 13 seasons. The 48-year-old Marrone, who is from the Bronx, went 25-25 in four seasons at Syracuse.
Syracuse was 26-57 over a seven-year period before Marrone took over at his alma mater. The Orange finished this season 8-5, winning six of their last seven games, including a 38-14 victory over West Virginia in the Pinstripe Bowl.
Marrone spent 2006-08 as the New Orleans Saints' offensive coordinator and was the New York Jets' offensive line coach from 2002-05.
Searches continue
The Philadelphia Eagles took their coaching search to Denver to interview Broncos offensive coordinator Mike McCoy on Sunday after a lengthy meeting with Oregon coach Chip Kelly a night earlier in Arizona.
The Eagles only confirmed their meeting with Kelly after it ended. Regardless, multiple reports Sunday night said he was staying at Oregon.
While Kelly weighed his options, the Eagles already moved forward.
Owner Jeffrey Lurie, general manager Howie Roseman and team president Don Smolenski left Arizona for Denver on Sunday to continue the search to replace Andy Reid, who was fired after 14 seasons.
They met with McCoy for a few hours and then headed back to Philadelphia. The Eagles plan to interview Indianapolis offensive coordinator Bruce Arians and Seattle defensive coordinator Gus Bradley this week.
The Arizona Cardinals expect to speak in the coming week with Bengals offensive coordinator Jay Gruden about their vacant head coaching position. The Cardinals also confirmed that McCoy was interviewed in Denver on Saturday.
The Associated Press also reported that the Bears met with McCoy.
There was plenty of drama surrounding Kelly this weekend. A person familiar with the situation said Kelly was nearing a deal with the Cleveland Browns on Friday before he went ahead with his scheduled meeting with the Eagles on Saturday afternoon. Kelly's interview with the Eagles reportedly lasted several hours.
Kelly also met with Buffalo after his first meeting with Cleveland. In the end, he stayed put just like last year when he nearly accepted a job with Tampa Bay only to change his mind.

Tommy Lasorda ambles into the executive dining room of the Dodger Stadium press box, and no one's there. How does he play to an empty room?
How does he play to an empty room?
It's only for a split second. A staff employee pops in. Lasorda asks about the soup of the day.
"Split pea," is the response.
"Sweet pea?" Lasorda repeats. "Bueno, muy caliente. Muchos gracias, Jesus."
With a Sprite, please. No ice.
Wobbling at times on two replaced knees, depending on a ticker that may pump Dodger blue blood into his veins but has been under surveillance for the past two decades, the 85-year-old Hall of Fame manager insists he's under absolutely no restrictions on what he can eat these days.
Well, sorta, as only Lasorda can explain.
"I'm losing weight because, that's what the doctor told me," he says, tucking the white napkin into the front of his shirt and beginning the process of spooning up as much of the murky green soup as he can get.
"He didn't say how. He just said to cut down."
"I was told to stay away from pasta and bread for two weeks. Not eating pasta? That'll kill me. Anything else, but why pasta?"
It's food for thought. Soon would arrive a side of cottage cheese, a scoop of tuna and a bowl of fresh peaches. That which doesn't kill you will supposedly make you stronger.
Lasorda needs the strength to keep up with a still-demanding schedule that could grind up someone much younger and less willing to travel.
He admits his life has been full of blessings, and plenty of cursing. During a break in his calendar, we fed Lasorda a breadbasket full of questions during a three-hour-plus sit-down.
Here are some of the crumbs:
Q: With all this construction done at the stadium over the last few months, they still haven't installed a Tommy Lasorda restaurant in Dodger Stadium?
A: (Holding his finger and thumb inches apart) It's that much short of a miracle what they've done to this place. How do you build that much underground? They took tons of dirt away. It's gotta be a new way of doing things. When they said they wanted to make all these changes to the stadium, I said, "They can't do it." They couldn't increase the clubhouse. There was this huge wall next to it, and all this hillside dirt behind it. Never thinking this engineer could come up with idea. Damn it, it's great.
I'm waiting for them to build a restaurant here. A guy comes to the park early, beats the crowd, then after the game, goes back in, has a drink or something to eat. You'd clean up. They're going to do it. Frank McCourt said he was going to do one and name it after me.
Q: The new ownership team -- would they impress you more if they put in that restaurant?
A: They've been great. I knew many of them before. They're good people. All they want is to bring a championship to L.A., and they've put their money where their mouth is. They're all good, successful people in their own right. They've done everything they said they were going to do. And they want to see a championship.
Q: Even if you can't just go out and just buy one as it looks like they're trying to do?
A: Well, they've told the general manager, "We'll give you anything you want as long as you win." That's their attitude. They've lived up to it. I'm so proud of them and just hope we can win for them.
Q: Have they given you any special job title?
A: Who needs a title? I might have one (special adviser to the chairman), but I don't need it. I just do everything they ask.
Q: Don't you have any vacation time saved up? Why do you always have to be on the go somewhere?
A: Vacation time? I'm on vacation every day. I love what I'm doing. I've never taken a vacation, so to speak. I mean, if I were to quit, I don't know how many years of vacation time I've got saved up.
If you'd see my schedule, you'd know I have no time to slow down. I'll tell you why. I think I've been put on this earth for something. I have right now 10 honorary doctorate degrees. That's unbelievable. I never set foot in college. Caltech honored me -- they named an asteroid after me. There's only two of them up there with names. One of them is Walter Cronkite. The other is Tommy Lasorda. I've got a portrait in the Smithsonian. Who ever thought that would happen?
Q: And your energy comes from ... where?
A: Loving what I do. My wife said, "Don't you ever say no?" "A lot of times." "When?" "When they've asked me if I've had enough to eat."
Q: This is the time of year when you get booked for commencement addresses. Do you have a prepared speech to give?
A: I just wing it. Last week, my good friend Mitch Modell, from the sporting goods company, I spoke to his group. About 1,000 people. I was eating first with the senior vice president. He asks me, "What are you going to talk about?" "I don't know." "What, are you bull (bleeping) me? There's 1,000 people and you don't know what you're going to say?" "No, I don't." "Any idea?" "No." "C'mon, you're telling me you're about to speak to all these people and you don't know." "That's right." But when I do get up there, then I know what I'm going to say.
Q: A prayer first?
A: No, you look at the crowd and get the feeling of what they want to hear. Then I just do it.
See, when I first started (bleep), I was so nervous about public speaking. I couldn't eat. I was afraid I'd forget what I wanted to say. But now, I don't give a (bleep) how many are out there now. I feel comfortable up there talking.
Q: Just like when you're up on the stadium video screen before the game telling people in the park the rules of fan conduct -- Don't run on the field, don't interfere with a ball in play, and don't use profanity.
A: That's when the fans start laughing, right?
But you know, when I was asked to do a book recently, the author wanted to include all the profanity. I didn't want that. "But that's how you speak," he said. "I don't give a (bleep), I don't want no profanity in the book." I want my granddaughter to read the book. I would hope it would be in libraries. No profanity. If you don't want it my way, we don't do it.
But ... I've been married 63 years. I've never used one word of profanity in front my wife, or my daughter, or my granddaughter ... or anybody else's wife.
My God, look at the words people use today. They use profanity like it's nothing. Christ almighty. When I was growing up, I never heard people swear the way they do today.
Hey, I know, when I'm in the clubhouse or on the field, I'm bad. I know that. One time Billy Buckner (with the Chicago Cubs) beat us on a Friday night with a double off Tommy John. He beat us Saturday with a homer off Mike Garman. Sunday, I hold a team meeting. I got really (bleeping) mad. "I want him (bleeping) drilled when he comes up. ... I went on and on. Finally, Don Sutton jumps up with a counter and says, "You just used the F-word 144 times and this meeting isn't even over."
I admit it, I'm bad on the field. But never when I speak to a group. Never. Not even a men's club. You never know who's in the crowd -- a priest or preacher or rabbi. Just don't do it.
Q: Then people must try to egg you into it. How many times do you get asked about "your opinion of Dave Kingman's performance?"
A: They still bring it up! They do. You'd think they'd forget it. I know I haven't forgotten it. It's quite often.
But you know what gets me? They've got a recording of that out there on the Internet. People hear that? My wife, who's never had a computer, I hope she never hears me on that.
Q: On my computer, it says you're big on social media and the Internet -- 90,000 followers on Twitter.
A: I don't even know what that means. It's scary, really scary, to me.
Q: On your Twitter feed, there's a picture with you and Taylor Lautner. Do you even know who he is?
A: What does he do?
Q: An actor. You must get your picture taken all the time with people you don't even know who they are.
A: Yup. Hey, people write to me, I send them a picture.
ON THE CURRENT TEAM:Q: This whole Yasiel Puig phenomenon. Any comparisons to things you've seen in the past?
A: He reminds me a lot of (former Dodger outfielder Raul) Mondesi. Power, average, fielding, throwing. That's what he's displayed so far. Still, you can't go overboard. Many years ago, Pittsburgh had a guy come up from their Hollywood farm team. Hit 11 home runs or something right away. Reporters went to Ted Williams and asked him what they thought of this guy. "See me after the league has seen him the second time around," he said.
The other teams will find your holes and they'll get you. I'll wait and see what he does long term. The talent and ability is there. He's done what we've needed, having fans get interested in the team again.
Q: But it's only lately that the team has started winning with him the lineup. You wrote in one of your books that there are ways to get a team motivated -- you're a yeller and screamer, because you didn't want to keep the anger inside. But you also talked about why a thoroughbred jockey carries a whip -- even the best need to be pushed.
A: I told that story to Tony La Russa once. The greatest class of horses are in the Kentucky Derby. On top of each of them is one of the greatest jockeys in the world. When that jockey gets up there, what does he have? A whip. If he's one of the greatest horses in the world, why would he need a whip? He doesn't hit the horse when he's coming out of the gate. He has it for the home stretch -- boom -- he pops the horse to extract every ounce of energy that horse still has.
Q: When you look up and down this Dodger roster of players, do they need some kind of whip to remind them how good they are?
A: Without a doubt. When you're not playing up to your capability, you gotta try everything, to motivate, to get them going. All of them have to be on the same end of the rope to pull together. It's playing for the name on the front of the shirt, not the back. Individualism gets you trophies and plaques. Play for the front, that wins championships. I try to remind them of that.
Q: You must get the urge to go down there and start yelling sometimes?
A: Sure, but I talk to them in spring training. I give the speech -- this is where you win championships, right here. If you leave and you're not in good physical condition, you'll have a problem with a 162-game schedule.
Take two fighters, one is in tremendous shape and the other isn't. The guy who isn't, by the fifth or six round, his hands start to drop and he doesn't realize it. And he gets the (bleep) beat out of him. The pitcher's arm starts to drop and the ball gets up. The batter tries to pull the ball and he ends up hitting to the opposite field because he can't get his bat around.
Q: Don Mattingly appears to be the complete opposite of you when it comes to giving fiery speeches. Or is he? You may know him better ... Is there a side of him we don't know that can ignite a team? Or is that just not his style?
A: All managers are different. A lot of times, when things go wrong, you start playing too defensively. You may not want to do something because it may not work. When that gets in your head -- don't do it.
Donnie has control of the team, I think. The players like him. But you can't be too concerned with them liking you. You can't forget to chew them out, and there are different ways to do it. Still, the manager doesn't hit the ball, doesn't catch the ball or throw the ball. But when things go bad, who do they blame?
Q: Did you get a sense recently that Mattingly's job was on the line, that there was a tipping point?
A: I never thought that was in the minds of the higher-ups. I never heard it, and I probably would have. This is a team that just isn't always doing the job. And they have all the talent in the world. I remember once when (former Dodger owner) Peter O'Malley once asked me: "What can I give you?" I said: "Two things. One, give me 25 guys all playing out their options. Two, have me make more money than at least one guy on the team."
Q: Did you try to convince Joe Torre to stick around a couple years when he wanted to retire?
A: I had no idea what he was going to do.
Q: Torre said in essence he felt he couldn't communicate with today's ballplayers, they needed someone more contemporary to speak to them on their level. Is that true? Can't you always find a way to get through to a player?
A: I can't tell you what he should say. But I can tell you what I'd say -- and I don't believe that. You can handle all players. When I managed in the rookie league for four years, Al Campanis was the only one who wanted to promote me to Triple-A. Someone who didn't want me to get that promotion said, "Well, he's good with young kids, but he won't be able to do the same with veterans." I got the job in Spokane, we won the pennant by 26 games.
You've got to have confidence in your abilities as a manager. When I was interviewed after I got hired to replace Walter Alston, a future Hall of Famer, I was asked: "Don't you feel pressure on you?" I said: "Want to know something, I'm worried about the guy who's going to have to replace me."
Q: That turned out to be Bill Russell.
A: I was in favor of him becoming the manager. I thought he had the right personality. I pushed him for it. But I was wrong. You know, you can get too interested in someone and maybe you can't see over there (pointing right) or there (pointing left) you can only see there (pointing straight ahead). He just didn't have the qualifications, he couldn't handle the job.
Q: What former players that you had could make the best managers today?
A: I think the best would be (current Dodgers third-base coach Tim) Wallach. He belongs in the major leagues. He's got major-league talent as a manager. At one time I had 13 of my guys managing in the big leagues.
I know (current Dodgers first base coach Davey) Lopes could do it again, probably better now than before. He's a knowledgeable guy. Maybe he'll know better how to extract from the players the best of their ability. I wish he would get a second chance.
I'm proud of all those guys (who played under me) getting a chance to manage. I hope there's a little bit of me in each one of them. When a guy plays for you, your personality, your knowledge, that's what they look for. I made the clubhouse a lot of fun.
The players really do react to the manager. When Walter Alston walked into the clubhouse, we might be hollering and throwing food at each other, but then everything would get quiet. My personality I know is loud, boisterous, screaming -- but I never allowed anyone else to holler at my players. I was the one who did that.
ON THE LASORDA PERSONA:Q: Sparky Anderson would often say that he had two different people inside of him. One was "Sparky," the manager, the one the public saw. And there was "George," his real name, the private person from Thousand Oaks. You've built yourself a real a Hollywood success story. Someone from small means, driven to become someone important -- and now bigger than life. Are there two separate people there: "Tommy," the public person, and "Tom," the private person who not a lot of people don't know, living in the same house in Fullerton with his wife Jo?
A: Well I'd have to say there would be. Yeah, sure. The one thing about it, the whole concept, we'd go out with the Sinatras, or Gregory Pecks, or Kirk Douglases, we'd drive home and my wife would say, "Now you're coming back to reality. Don't think you're like those people. You think about us." That's the truth. We were with them all and knew them all. I've been able to dine with presidents, with leaders of corporations, traveled for 14 years with (financier and philanthropist) Michael Milken, who has taught me so much about life. Hanging around with them, it's nothing I could have believed in grade school. I could be with all of them? Milton Berle, Don Rickles, Dean Martin ... this former third-string pitcher from the Norristown High baseball team and the son of an Italian immigrant? I really am in awe when I think that has happened to me. What a life.
Q: Do you like keeping that private part of you separate from the public part?
A: Hey, it doesn't make any difference to me.
Q: Do you feel like you have to flip a switch on sometimes and be the public "Tommy" that people want you to be?
A: No, I never wanted that.
Q: Did you get your first sense of being part of Hollywood when you ended up pitching in the Pacific Coast League for the Los Angeles Angels (then a Dodgers' minor-league team before their move to L.A.)?
A: I think I got a little bit of it. That's where I first met (actor) George Raft. I started a big fight one game and afterward he was waiting for me to say, "That was the greatest thing I've ever seen."
ON MOTIVATION:Q: You ever go out to see a Little League game lately? You see the coaches who maybe saw how you did things ... they yell and rant at the kids, the umpires ... some of the parents doing the same thing in the stands ...
A: They're wrong.
Q: What happens when you address Little League parents about how to behave around their kids?
A: I put it to them this way -- Mind your business, watch how they play, don't holler at the umpire, and if your son or daughter strikes out, encourage him to keep playing, tell him how much you love him and tell him you'll get 'em next game.
There are parents out there screaming as if their kid is going to be in the big leagues someday. C'mon. I chew them out if I see that. Maybe they've got their own idea how to do things, but it's wrong.
Just be with the kids. Let 'em make errors. Give them all a chance. It's not about winning. It's spirit, togetherness. They'll form their personality and livelihood right then and there in Little League. I'll tell you why: In Little League, you have to listen to the manager, right? When you're in the big world, you've always got to listen to someone else. Second, in Little League, you follow orders. That's how the world works. Third, get along with teammates. When you get in our world, you're going to have to get along with all kinds of people. This is what you are forming when you're playing Little League on his mind and body. See? That's important. Don't scream and get on them after an error. Tell 'em how many times Babe Ruth struck out, or a pitcher got knocked out of the box.
One time I was doing a speech to a group of kids and just before I get there, I see this little kid crying. I found out they just lost a game and he was the losing pitcher. I went over there, put my arm around him, and said, "What are you crying for? When major league players lose, they don't cry." I'm a builder, a builder of morale, self confidence, spirit, togetherness. That's what I do.
Q: Where did that come from? Did you inherit that?
A: My father (Sabatino), may he rest in peace, used to tell us stories and he'd use our names in those stories. One time he told a story about a family with five sons -- that's what he had -- and they were very strong, powerful. The church had a big rock in front of the church and the priest wanted to move it out of there. So someone said, "Get those Lasorda boys over here for dinner, then get them to move the rock." The priest said that's a good idea. And he fed those five brothers like you've never seen before. So then as my father is telling us this story and he says, "Wait a minute, you're the guys who gotta move that rock." He was getting that message across to us.
Another time, he had this piece of ground that he farmed. There's an empty milk bottle and he tells me to get the bottle, go to a spring a quarter of a mile away straight from here, walk straight there. Fill it up with water and don't break the bottle. Then -- boom -- he whacks me in the back of the head. I said, "What did you hit me for, Pop?" "Because if you break that bottle, then it's too late to hit you." I carried that bottle and I know one thing, no one was going to get that away from me. And I wasn't going to drop it
I took that story to use. You can't do anything about an error a guy made, but you can do something about him not making an error in the future. That's what he did with me. He had the story about having five guys pulling on the same end of the rope. I used a lot of his philosophy in managing. I don't know how much education he had, but he had it down psychologically. He taught us a lot about life.
He was all about commitment and responsibility. He told us about loving each other and doing all we can for each other. In the end, when he had cancer, we were there in the hospital for him 24 hours a day. The nuns couldn't believe it. I wish he was alive to see me become the manager of the Dodgers. God works in strange ways.
WHAT ELSE IS ON HIS MIND:Q: So which World Series championship ring do you wear there on your right hand?
A: That's the Hall of Fame ring. It's the top of the mountain. You crawl, you scratch, you laugh, then you get this. I used to wear World Series rings, but I'd never know which one to wear "" 1988 or 1981. One was full of talent. The other was a bunch of no-names who scratched and clawed their way to the top.
Q: Are you able to throw batting practice anymore?
A: Not since I fell in a hotel room years ago. I'm trying to put my foot up and pull on a sock and fell backward, hit my head. I put my hand out to break my fall and tore up everything in my left arm. My doctor said he could fix it. Why? Just so I could throw out first pitches? I'll just roll the ball out there across the field.
Q: If you were ever going to be a head coach in something other than baseball, what would it be?
A: I would love to have been a football coach. I still speak to a lot of teams. The Wisconsin team has won four Rose Bowls every time I speak to them.
Q: What kind of football strategy do you know?
A: I know quite a bit about the game. Here's the ball, go ahead, damn it, give me everything you've got. That's all I'm asking.
Q: You'd be the head coach who gave the pregame speeches, but then turn it all over to your assistants?
A: Yeah, that's the way to do it. Head coach doesn't do anything. They've got 20 guys helping them.
Q: Any plans to go with the Dodgers to Australia next year for the season opener against the Diamondbacks?
A: No. It's too far. I've only been there one time -- for a good reason (the 2000 Olympics). And I popped off, too, that we were going to win the gold medal. They said no one could beat that Cuban team. That was one of the greatest thrills of my life. I cried because I knew I did something for my country, not for the Dodgers or Yankees or Reds.

Yesterday's post was decidedly Dutch. Later that evening, I found this sweet, vintage Dutch girl (The Graphics Fairy) whose white skirt seemed to beg for a recipe. My husband grew up with Dutch cooking, so I make it a point to have some of his favorite recipes on hand.

Celebuzz 101 Hot Bodies: Brandi Glanville Talks Bikini Sizes, Del Taco Cravings (PHOTOS AND VIDEO)
Stripping down for Celebuzz, the Bravo star — who ranked No. 31 on the Celebuzz 101 Hot Bodies countdown – hares her tips for choosing the right bikini and looking great on the beach. Her tip: go small or go home.
"The smaller the bikini, the better you look …" she explained. "I think when you get a big bikini on a small person, you end up looking heavier. So, I feel like you, [if] you make it smaller, then you look smaller."
Meanwhile, Glanville also confessed her eating habits include everything from healthy meals to, yep, fast food.
"I love to cook, and I also love Del Taco, so I'm all over the place," she confessed. "I like a little healthy here, a little fast food there."

Behavior of Arsenic and Fluoride Concentration in Guadiana Valley Aquifer of Durango, Mexico
María Adriana Martínez-Prado, María Elena Pérez-López, Ignacio Villanueva-Fierro, Cecilia Corazón González-Nevarez
Aquifer; Arsenic; Fluoride; Groundwater Quality; Guadiana Valley
Journal of Environmental Protection,
Vol.4 No.12B,
Fluorine (F) and arsenic (As) are inorganic elements present in the subsurface depending on the geology of the region. These compounds are found in high concentrations in the underground strata of Guadiana Valley of Durango affecting water quality for human consumption (NOM-127-SSA-1994). In the present research the main objective was to assess the behavior in time and space of fluoride (F-) and arsenic concentration, from 1996 to date, in the groundwater of the city of Durango and some wells of the rural area as a reference. The highest concentration of arsenic was found in a rural well, Colonia Hidalgo (0.149 mg/L or ppm), 6 times the maximum permissible limit (MPL); within the city well 54 located in the western sector had the highest value (0.076 ppm), 3 times the MPL, 67% of the wells in the city and 60% of the Guadiana Valley had levels that exceeded the MPL (0.025 ppm), the concentration in the city ranged from 0.009 to 0.149 ppm and from 0.08 to 0.15 ppm for the rural zone. With respect to F-, the highest value was also found in the Colonia Hidalgo well (17.8 mg/L), 12 times the MPL; within the city the highest value was recorded in well 16 in the eastern sector with 7.6 ppm (5 times the MPL) 97% of the wells in the city and 100% of the wells in the Guadiana Valley rural area had concentrations greater than MPL (1.5 ppm), the concentration in the city ranged from 1.1 to 7.6 ppm, while in the Guadiana Valley from 1.7 to 17.8 ppm. Statistical analysis showed no significant difference for fluoride concentration over time (1996-2013); whereas the concentration of arsenic decreased, probably due to the degree of precision required for such small concentrations in groundwater and different analysts ran the samples.

Got a decent knowledge of groundwork and figured that boxing would be the best starting point for working on striking.
Got a decent knowledge of groundwork and figured that boxing would be the best starting point for working on striking.
Yeah I'd say so, wouldnt hurt to do some thai when possible just to get used to working with low kicks etc ...
boxing is good!!!
boxings good. will get your cardio fitness up really quick and will get your hands and feet working together. one little thing tho' , and if im wrong then please people are welcome to argue: dont get too used to the ducking and bobbing bit, its great in boxing but will get you kicked and knee'd in the snot box in martial arts. not good.
i Agree totally i boxed for yrs in army, got to a good standard awell but my bobbing and weaving got me ko'ed several times when i first started mma.
Me personally i would recommend muay thai for stand up, it will help bring your feet into play when fighting!!
COMFORT is an illusion bred from familiar things and familiar places, it weakens the mind ruins the soul and robs the body of spirit and determination
Boxing over Muay Thai, for MMA. Hands are much more accessable weapon than kicks
If you don't move your head, someone is going to punch it.. simple fact..
personally...a mixture of both if possible..
funny this should be mentioned as i have a friend who has competed in mma successfully from a boxing background..he then integrated some thai and kickboxing and has now recently decided to return to boxing and train seriously as he feels this is where his best gains, for his personal striking game, came. He aint much of a 'bobber and weaver' but he does have good head movement (inside and outside) and good lateral movement, which maybe some of the reasons that his boxing style is so transferable to mma.
Everyones differant tho...
thanks guys
great help so far

Plant Near Rock
Photograph by Andya Tellez
For National Geographic's Appalachian Trail Photo Camp 2008, high school students documented a Northern Virginia stretch of this storied mountain path and those who work to conserve it. The workshop, held in August, was presented in partnership with the Potomac Appalachian Trail Club, an affiliate of the Appalachian Trail Conservancy. The conservancy is a volunteer-based group dedicated to conserving the natural resources, cultural legacy, and recreational aspects of the trail—a 250,000-acre (101,170-hectare) greenway running from Georgia to Maine. The workshop culminated in a multimedia show documenting the students' experiences.
This gallery presents images made during the workshop paired with each photographer's thoughts on the environment and conservation. Here, a shot by student Andya Tellez shows a plant growing near a lichen-covered rock.
"I think it's true in some cases [that young people aren't connected to nature]," says Photo Camp participant Andya Tellez. "Young people who care more about material things won't care about nature at all. But there are also kids that aren't that material and are more into nature. So, I would say it's true, but it's not the case with all the young people in the world."

"I think that young people today are in a way connected to nature," says Photo Camp participant Haley Schultz. "Even though some kids are playing video games or getting on Facebook or texting most of the time, we are still going outside and interacting with our environment. We play sports, ride horses, and even come to camp to show that we are involved with our surroundings.
"A lot of adults consider us as being unconnected to nature because we have a lot of pressure put on us like schoolwork and jobs, and we can't really be involved with it as much as we would like. But if people could actually take like 20 minutes out of their stressful day to help outside in the community or even make the choice to walk a few more steps and throw their bottles and cans in the recycling bins instead of the trash can, then they would be doing a lot for the environment."

"Well up here on the mountain, things just look so high. The trees, the birds, the airplanes, baby, even the bright blue sky. I don't ever wanna leave, and you I do know why. This is where I live, and this is where I wanna die.
"Rocky Mountain Bluemont, it's the only place to be. Rocky Mountain Bluetops, it's the only place for me.
"You can smell the woodstove burnin', and you can feel it too. The walls are warm, the floor is soft, and I just kicked off my shoes. And I don't have a damn thing to do for the rest of this day. I was gonna saddle up and ride to town, but I'm just gonna stay.
"Rocky Mountain Bluemont, it's the only place to be. Rocky Mountain Bluetops, it's the only place for me.
"Well, it only lasted 14 years, and now I'm in the flats. My folks decided to move to town, and this where we're at. Built a house and moved right in, on the night of Christmas Eve. My family calls it home, but I know it ain't no home for me.
"Rocky Mountain Bluemont, it's the only place to be. Rocky Mountain Bluetops, it's the only place for me."—Photo Camp participant Tyler Cox

"I think some young people aren't connected to nature," says Photo Camp participant Jessie Daniels. "They are so busy with work or school, and they spend their spare time playing video games and watching TV. I think the reason for this is that they were raised without venturing into the great outdoors. The parents of these kids are too busy with work and other things. But some kids do go outside and do things, and in my opinion, they have better lives."

"Adults like to hide their imperfections behind their children," says Photo Camp participant Eroica Williams. "Therefore, the assumption that young people today are not connected to nature is not true. Adults are hypocrites! They spend their day stuck in the office, at the store, or lounging at home while their kids spend their afternoons outside, at sports practices, camping, and hiking. There are a few unfortunate kids that spend their free time playing video games and watching TV. However, for the most part, young people, compared to adults, spend much more of their time in nature."

"Although adults were young once, they don't know everything about children," says Photo Camp participant Lizzie Miller. "It is true that some kids are more concerned with video games or movies, but not every child should be clumped into that stereotype. Personally, I would much more enjoy sitting inside and watching a movie, but that doesn't mean that I'm not connected to nature. I'm connected with nature through art. I go out for hours on end to sketch or paint. I don't actually walk or hike for miles, but I am at peace."

"My mother always tells me that I don't appreciate the beauty that surrounds us," says Photo Camp participant Katie Burson. "But I do. I just don't express it. I don't freak out and say, 'Oh my god, look at that! It's so pretty.' I think that stuff is on the inside."

"I think adults in every generation have had the same opinion of the younger generation," says Photo Camp participant Holly Clegg. "Adults always think their time was the best and that they were raised better than the kids of today. I don't think you can blame a certain generation—it's a personal choice to be connected to nature. There are kids who are constantly on their computers and cell phones, but there are also kids biking and hiking. I see a lot of younger people volunteering in their community, gathering recycling, going 'green,' caring for their environment more than anyone else."

"I think it depends on the kid," says Photo Camp participant Rebecca Iwersen, "and his or her interests. Oh, and where they live. I mean, I've lived in the woods all of my life, and I love it even if I don't always act like it. I guess other kids might not have a connection with nature, but at some point in their lives, they will. The world is slowly 'going green,' so at some point they'll be involved whether they realize it or not."
Looking at Pictures

"Now that young people have more distractions, they do spend more time inside," says Photo Camp participant Emily Wilson. "I used to be one of those people that would spend a lot of my time in front of the TV. But now I work at Subway, and I don't really have time to spend outside. This camp has been really nice, because it was an excuse to take time off and learn how to enjoy the outdoors. The trail has also shown me that the outdoors can be much more beautiful than I'd ever imagined."

"This camp made me realize that photography is something that I am excited to move forward with," says Photo Camp participant Leann Albert. "This program also taught me that a picture that you think is horrible may turn out to be amazing in every possible way. I loved the camp."
"I feel that every little aspect of nature is important and beautiful," Albert adds. "Whether it's a leaf or a spider web that has been destroyed, it can all look beautiful if you just take the time to photograph it and appreciate its significance."

"Nature. The very sound of the word makes the body warm and the birds sing," says Photo Camp participant Rob Madden. "It is the life and breath of the Earth, the mother of all animals, the caretaker of the young and old alike. This heavenly force should be radiated through all its offspring, but, despite that joyous ideal, it is not the case. In general, humans seem ungrateful of their mother, commonly disregard their roots, and replace her with their own pseudo-nature. One might ask, 'Who can reject nature and love this false production? Who is so unsatisfied with the most beautiful power ever known that they will make a cold, listless machine to surrogate it?' The answers vary. The older generation blames the young, while the young generation blames the old. One thing is for sure, both are to blame and both should be ashamed."

"Teenagers in this day and age rely too much on technology for everything," says Photo Camp participant London Brown. "They are always glued to the TV or computer, and they never go outside to cherish their surroundings. But on the other hand, I think that adults are wrong and that kids do connect with nature in ways that adults don't know about. Young people go for walks, ride bikes, play outside, and connect with their environment."

Zimmerman Defense Attorney Slams Media Coverage
(Sanford, FL) -- George Zimmerman was turned into a "monster" and "the most hated man in America" by the media, according to his lawyer. Mark O'Mara says that reporters were "fed" a story by the lawyer for Trayvon Martin's parents and ran with it and ran over Zimmerman in the process. O'Mara says the media failed his client and so did the prosecutors who filed a charge of second-degree murder. O'Mara believes the charge was filed because of public pressure and not because there was evidence to support a charge of second-degree murder.

Vandalism totals over $100,000
The Portland Police Bureau, in cooperation with Crime Stoppers of Oregon, is asking for the public's help in solving hundreds of vehicle vandalisms in Portland.
On Wednesday, October 9, 2013, at noon, "Christina," whose vehicle was damaged twice this year, and a detective who has been investigating these crimes, will be available to talk to media. Interviews will be on the 15th floor of the Justice Center, Chief's Office Conference Room.
Since late May 2013, the Portland Police Bureau has received hundreds of reports of vehicle vandalisms in several Portland neighborhoods. The Alameda, Irvington, Rose City, and Grand Park neighborhoods in Northeast Portland have received the bulk of the vandalisms but reports also indicate that the crime has spread into Southeast Portland's Laurelhurst, Richmond, Sunnyside, Sellwood, and Kerns neighborhoods.
The vandal or vandals appear to be primarily targeting SUV's (both large and small crossover-style), trucks and vans parked in the street and are puncturing a tire. Some victims have been hit multiple times. Additionally, the vandal or vandals have targeted convertible tops and motorcycle seats. Investigators have not yet been able to determine if all of these cases are related.
The Crime Analysis Unit has found more than 400 reports have been filed and, on average, 20-25 new reports are filed each week. The cost estimate to victims of this damage is estimated at more than $100,000. Reports indicate that the damage is generally occurring during nighttime hours, every day of the week.
At this point there is no suspect information and most victims are discovering the damage in the morning, well after the crime occurred.
Anyone seeing suspicious activity consistent with these reports is asked to immediately call 9-1-1.
Victims discovering damage to vehicles are asked to file reports online by visiting http://www.portlandpolice.com
Crime Stoppers is offering a cash reward of up to $1,000 for information, reported to Crime Stoppers, that leads to an arrest in this case, or any unsolved felony, and you can remain anonymous.
Leave a Crime Stoppers tip online at http://crimestoppersoforegon.com/submit_online_tip.php text CRIMES (274637) and in the subject line put 823HELP, followed by your tip, or call 503-823-HELP (4357) and leave your tip information.

The Cleveland Indians completed a series sweep of the Detroit Tigers on May 24 lifting their season record to 26-18, the fifth best mark in all of baseball. Their lead in the division was up to three and a half games over the Chicago White Sox, and six games over the heavily favored Tigers. Cleveland's sports writers had already been talking playoffs for a few days, but something wasn't quite right. Although they sat eight games above the .500 mark, they had only scored one more run than they had allowed.
Run differential isn't altogether definitive or completely predictive, but it does usually give a different (usually more accurate) view of the team's actual performance than win-loss percentage does. Could the Indians continue to win at a .591 clip while only marginally out-scoring their opponents?
Justin Verlander gave the bullpen the day off on Sunday with his 117-pitch complete game victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates, but the Tigers' relief corps, as currently constructed, has been lights out when asked into the game. As a group, they've allowed just one earned run to score in their last 17 innings of work (since the extra inning loss to the Rockies 10 days ago). But the solid goes back further than just the last week and a half. In the month as a whole, Tigers relievers have logged 66.1 innings while only allowing a 2.44 ERA.
There have been some rocky moments with Tigers relievers on the mound this season to be sure, but most of those moments came earlier in the year with the likes of Collin Balester and Daniel Schlereth in the ball game. Because of some of these outings, the Tigers rank 12th in the American League in bullpen ERA, but the guys currently out in the bullpen have pitched much better than that.no comments
I don't make it any secret that I don't think Quintin Berry will be much of a major league hitter. I've posted to that effect both on this blog and on my Twitter account (be my friend). But these sort of statements have caused a divide among Tigers fans the perhaps rivals that caused by one Charles Brandon Inge.
First of all, let me clear up one thing. Just because I think his success at the plate is due to luck (and won't continue) doesn't mean I'm rooting for him to fail. I clapped my hands together (Quintin style) just as hard as anyone when he knocked in the winning run of Thursday's game, but I'm not going to ignore the numbers and believe that he's any sort of long-term solution in the outfield. Often times, bloggers such as myself will throw out the term unsustainable BABIP (batting average on balls in play), but we won't really say why such a number is unsustainable.
Here's what I mean (I'm sorry if you don't care for numbers).
The middle innings for the Tigers have a new look. Hard throwing right hander Brayan Villarreal has become the middle reliever of choice for Jim Leyland and the Tigers. Villarreal, the 25 year old right-hander from Venezuela, has appeared in 20 games (23.1 innings) and currently has a 1.16 ERA and a 0.86 WHIP.
With a fastball that touches 98 miles per hour at times and a nice slider, Villarreal is the power arm that the Tigers seem to like in the bullpen. Villarreal has also shown good control for the most part, walking 10 batters in his 23.1 innings pitched. He has the ability to go multiple innings in relief as well, with his longest outing being 2.1 innings against the Pirates on May 19th.no comments
As expected, Jacob Turner was recalled from the minor leagues following Wednesday night's loss to the St. Louis Cardinals. He will be effectively taking the place of Drew Smyly, who has been on the disabled list with a blister on his throwing hand since June 11. Smyly isn't eligible to come off the DL until next Tuesday, but his finger is apparently feeling much better, so he'll be making a rehab start today in Toledo to prepare for his return to the big leagues. Luke Putkonen was sent back to the minor leagues to make room on the active roster for Turner.
Turner, at just 21 years old, was the consensus number one prospect in the Tigers' organization coming in to the year, and he was in the running to make the team as the fifth starting pitcher out of camp until some shoulder soreness limited his spring action. So instead of joining the Detroit Tigers in April, he became a member of the Lakeland Flying Tigers for four starts to work his arm into shape against A-ball competition before resuming his role in the AAA rotation.no comments
We need to be very careful whenever we discuss advanced defensive metrics, such as UZR (click here for a UZR explanation), when the sample size is small. Conventional wisdom says three years of defensive data is as reliable as one year of offensive data (due to factors such as number of fielding opportunities and the limitations in available batted ball data), so our current 67 game sample on Miguel Cabrera would be akin to 22 games worth of batting numbers.*
So we obviously can't make any "true talent level" claims based on this small data set, but we also can't say that UZR tells us what has happened so far this year. All we can discuss is what UZR has recorded as having happened so far this year. The distinction may seem small, but it's important.
*We know that 22 games of batting data is full of noise due to random variation. For example, Ramon Santiago hit .163/.208/.224 through his first 22 games this season. Since then (29 games), he's hit .284/.392/.388. Are either of those stretches his true talent level? No. In fact, we probably get closest if we just average the whole year together to get his .233/.318/.319 line.
But it wouldn't be fun to simply put aside the data while calling it unreliable would it? Let's take a look at his UZR data (as reported by FanGraphs) for this season.no comments
The production the Tigers have received from second basemen* this season has been atrocious. Ryan Raburn, Brandon Inge, Danny Worth, Ramon Santiago and Hernan Perez have combined to hit just .187/.256/.264 in 363 total plate appearances.
*None of these players, with the exception of Perez is only a small handful of games, played second base exclusively for the Tigers this season, but they're the players that have been in the mix at the position, so I'm lumping their batting totals together. This represents their total hitting line, not just while playing second base (Inge's totals only represents his time in Detroit this year).
I'm sure Dave Dombrowski and the Tigers' scouts have second basemen on their radar ahead of July 31's non-waiver trade deadline, but I can also imagine that it would be difficult for the organization to pull the trigger on a move for a couple of reasons.no comments

Cleveland gets $1 million crime fighting grant
(Cleveland) - The United States Department of Justice has awarded the City of Cleveland a $1 million grant aimed at improving the Mount Pleasant neighborhood by expanding crime prevention programs, continuing targeted enforcement efforts and increasing programs for people returning to the neighborhood from prison.
Funding is through the Byrne Criminal Justice Innovation Program. The money will be disbursed over three years. Cleveland is just one of only five cities to receive a full $1 million grant.
"Community engagement is a crucial part of the solution," said Michael Walker, executive director of the Partnership for a Safer Cleveland.
Walker tells Newsradio WTAM 1100, "Making arrests in and of itself will not prevent violent crime. We're trying to work with community organizations to develop solutions the community can take ownership of."
Walker says the grant requires city leaders to work closer with citizens, organizations, and local institutions to reduce crime and violence.
He believes the grant should be a call to action for Mt. Pleasant residents to get involved in making their neighborhood a better place.
Cleveland Police in action in Mt. Pleasant neighborhood.
The grant will target the Mount Pleasant neighborhood on Cleveland's southeast side, running along Kinsman Avenue between Lee Road and East 93rd Street.
Among the programs earmarked for funding through the grant:
The continuation of the VGRIP gun suppression efforts, in which Cleveland police and federal agents work together to crack down on gun violence, often leading to federal prosecution of felons illegally in possession of firearms.
The expansion of Stand Together Against Neighborhood Crime Everyday (STANCE), Fugitive Safe Surrender 2014, in which law enforcement and clergy work together to establish a safe location for non-violent fugitives wanted for low-level felonies to turn themselves in.

text: I've been doing some neat things with magnets and steel prints, and thinking that having neodymium magnets as a combinatory manufacturing option that shipped with items would be the single most awesome way to expand the possibilities of combinatory manufacturing with Shapeways. They would, of course, have to cost something, but with a small magnet in a standard size us designers would only need to buy a couple of them to explore lots of different designs, while Shapeways could buy them in bulk and get a reasonably good rate. What do you guys think? Here are just a sampling of the things it would enable: fridge magnets awesome desk toys pieces that pull apart and attach very intuitively levitated portions of models, pinpoint balanced, etc. when combined with plastic portions to provide electric insulation, 3D printed motors! etc.... what do people think? sincerely, Jeff

Hello folks,
I am having a issue I think is to do with the DNS entries in the MX records. So here is the problem scenario. I host a site (www.example.com) while the mail server is hosted at a different server and is managed by external users as well. I have another site (www.mysite.com) in the same IP and with this, the site and the mail server is hosted at my own server (using Plesk Control Panel). Now the MX entries for both are the following.
[I]example.co.uk. MX (10) mail.example.co.uk.mail.example.co.uk. A 184.108.40.206 (sample Ip)
mysite.co.uk. MX (10) mail.example.co.uk.mail.mysite.co.uk. A 126.96.36.199 (sample Ip)[/I]
Now the issue I am having is that everytime I try to send an email from email@example.com to firstname.lastname@example.com, the email is being re-routed back to my firstname.lastname@example.com instead of going to firstname.lastname@example.com. And if I try to send email to firstname.lastname@example.com from any other emails except from @mysite.com, it is being received without any issue. So what am I doing wrong here. Any pointers would be really helpful. Thanks.
P.S.I hope this is the right area to post this question otherwise I hope the mod will move it to the right forum.
Could you post a screenshot of your DNS Zone Records?
The above image contains the MX records of the domain the email is being sent to and whose mail server is being hosted/managed separately. The MX record for the domain from which I am trying to send the e-mail to the domain with the attached MX record differ only in the domain name. And I have multiple websites hosted in that same domain (where the website to which the email is being sent is hosted) and all of the emails from any domain to that particular domain is being redirected to the default email. But with other domain whose mail server is not hosted externally, the emails can be sent to each other without any issue.
And I also did a MX lookup with some external website for that domain and the following image is what is returned. I was wondering if I should change the MX record in our DNS Zone Records to that in the image below?
I hope I made that clear as I am still learning much about DNS records and might not have been able to express it clearly enough. Thank you very much for taking the time to reply.

Location Dirt in corner of bathroom, pool area unkept,
From the minute we walked in, the front desk staff was helpful, gracious, and went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. Danielle was a star! She made sure that we were well taken care of after our long day of travelling. She even directed us to the best Philly Cheesesteaks in town! Hotel room was great. Location was perfect. I would definitely recommend this hotel!
We had never been to Philadelphia and had no idea what expect. This hotel was elegent, clean and updated! At check in they gave us a piece of paper that had all surrounding restaurants and attractions all seperated by types of food or establishments. Then as an added bonus, the kind, helpful staff member at check in even put stars next to the best places to go to with kids. To make things more convenient the 1st morning we were there we were able to schedule a bus tour of Philadelphia right in the hotel lobby. This worked out great for us becsuse we only had one full day there and wanted to see as much as we could. So all this is great, but the best part is the LOCATION!! With in the hour that we arrived we deciedd to walk to get none other than a cheese steak. We walked the direction to Jims (which was suggested by the hotel staff and happens to be the best philly steak in town) and with in 2 blocks of the hotel the street transformed to a bustling city to a picturesque scene of 1700 brick houses, with trees canopying the the cobble stone streets. I walked to Starbucks in the morning from the hotel and walked right by where Benjamin Franklin had been buried and didn't even know it! The parking garage is not connected to the hotel and if there is valet, we never saw it. There is a parking garage on the premises, but no entry directly inside the hotel to and from the garage.
Great location in walking distance to historical sites. Super friendly front desk staff. Room was not ready at 5:00 pm. They did take half off parking to compensate a little.
Everything was walking distAnce. Easy access to many places. ❤
Perfect location! Right in the heart of historic Philadelphia with plenty to do within walking distance! Staff was helpful with everything requested Bathroom was not very clean. Used q tips in the room. The coffee was not restocked.
Comfortable bed. Bottled water in the room. Right in the middle of old town Breakfast buffet was so so.
Not really good for young toddlers comfortable bedrooms. Needs updated decor and carpets definitely need a good deep clean. Better attention to details such as restocking coffee and cups complete with lids. Likewise bathroom products. Staff polite but on a rush to get through whether finished or not. When asked by telephone about airport shuttle was told none upon arrival at hotel found they do have services
Room was ok....nothing special Very bland decor....bathroom wasn't great. One of the towels had a huge hair ball on it. Maid took the TV remote from the room
Great old city location. AC unit is loud; bathroom could use a thorough cleaning -- dust and hair accumulated in corners. Tub did not drain; ankle deep by the end of the shower.
Location was perfect for walking to lots of great historic and shopping/neighborhood browsing. Parking a bit expensive ($36/day) but it's a city, so it was expected. The staff was VERY helpful and friendly, got us right in even though we showed up a few hours before check-in time, answered all questions, and gave some great recommendations. Overall, a terrific experience and I would highly recommend!
Great location and pleasant staff. Guests in the next room hosted a party until 5:30am. Several calls were made to the front desk, but the party continued throughout the night. I got the impression this is normal behavior at this particular hotel. Wouldn't recommend to others traveling for business.
Great location for my work. Great restaurants in walking distance. Nearly ruin my shirt with a rusty iron.
Very stylish hotel with comfortable rooms. Staff was friendly and attentive. But the best part is the location, you're across the street from the birthplace of our nation!
It was a really nice hotel - beautiful room and facilities- great location. The bartenders in the bar were really helpful and gave better suggestions for what to do in the city than the reception and concierge. No bathtub in room - despite beautiful picture. This is the 3rd or 4th Kimpton Hotel I've stayed in but the least intimate. Hotel was a little busy and staff could be a bit warmer and more helpful.
Stayed for NYE.. very nice hotel. Excellent staff. A bit pricey. Would consider a return trip.
Nice location for nightlife and history tours. I receive a monthly check from the VA for a service connected disability -- my ONE night stay cost more than that entire check! And for what? I received no continental breakfast; parking is $50 a NIGHT; and my room with a king-sized bed was tiny. No idea if internet was included, as I was not given a password. I wanted to sit in my room and prepare for a speech I had to give, but, my absurdly expensive room did not come with a chair besides an ergonomically nightmarish desk chair. I had a ton of clothes because I was there for a three day wedding, so my hands were full. I received no bell-service, carried all my stuff to my room, and the keys didn't work; so I had to lug everything back to the front desk. Had to iron shirts for the wedding, the ironing board looked like it was bought from a yard sale. For the cost of this room, I expect quality amenities. Also, the bouncer for the rooftop bar, who looked a like a teenager, watched one of the wedding guests get assaulted, laughed, and did nothing. Honestly, we should've called the police. Posh and ostentatious, with little reward. Go somewhere else.
We love the staff as they are professional and fun. They offer free happy hour and coffee in am! This is a big deal and makes people feel welcomed. The rooms are stylish and cozy! We had a 2 month and 14 month old children who loved it too! Smaller elevators but it was doable...we just have 2 kids and a huge stroller ;)
I had a great experience staying at Monaco, from price to service everything was perfect. I think they should have better pictures of the corner suite on there website, because there suite was better then the pictures shown.
free coffee
As with all Kimpton Hotels, the decor is amazing & very much in-line with my aesthetic. We also really enjoyed the location of the hotel; we stayed over 2 very nice days & walked 30 minutes down Passyunk and over to the far edge of Rittenhouse multiple times. We tend to spend most of our time out-and-about, but the time spent in the hotel was very nice. We requested a room away from the elevator, which they did not oblige. We were essentially directly next to the elevator bank, however it ended up being quite. That said, we were there on a Monday night, I'm sure the weekends are a bit rowdier. Bed was not very comfortable (for me, the BF loved it), the outlets stopped working in the bathroom in the middle of my blow out & could not be fixed, the internet did not work the day we checked in. Also...there is not much follow-through from the staff; we had requested a later check-out that they never acknowledged until we were physically there and brought it up ourselves again during check-in. We asked for a room away from the elevator bank, but were put in one directly next to it. Tried to order room service & the person on the phone said they would have to call back to 'confirm the order' but never called back..the food appeared 20 minutes later, cold. Negatives aren't the end of the world, but there are definitely some things we weren't thrilled with. But the staff, including the valet, were lovely & very friendly.
Love atmosphere and staff. Location and style is also a plus. It's friendly for us with our 2 kids under 2. The bed was not as comfortable. We usually have a king size bed but opted to 2 queen size and I would prob not do that again.
I left an expensive piece of technology in the room and when I returned a couple hours later, the staff said they didn't find it.
Each and every corner of the hotel is just amazing. Love it!!
The downstairs spa and pool was relaxing and very clean. The staff throughout the hotel was friendly and quick to take care of anything we needed. Even though the valet parking quickly retrieved our car and due to the difficult nature of street parking in Philadelphia, well worth the cost. We had a wonderful time at the Franklin.
Housekeepers were the nicest people in the whole facility Let me see Spa - the massage therapist texted on her phone through the entire massage, massaging with one hand then putting phone on my back Front desk - asked for late check out, was told it was not possible because hotel was sold out that night. As the conversation progressed or digressed as the case may be, was told that I could extend for another night. Not sure why it's okay to lie to people to their face Summary - not only will I never stay at that hotel again in philly, I will never stay in an Omni again. Not sure why the employees don't understand that their pay checks come from money paid by guests. You might want to let them know how the revenue is generated. Sad day
The location was great--right across from independence park with many other attractions within easy walking distance. We had a great view of the park through two big windows in our room. The staff was very friendly. Although the hot tub was broken and much missed, the spa was otherwise very enjoyable. I particularly appreciated the valet and doorman offering to allow us to park in front of the hotel while we loaded the car with our luggage. The drapery partly obscured the great view, and could not be pushed out of the way.
Great location, friendly staff. Noisy refrigerator in room.
The location is perfect in the center of the historic district of Philadelphia with top restaurants within a short walking distance Hotel is a bit tired and could use quite a bit of updating.
Loved everything except restaurant staff. The front desk staff was excellent! I tried to call in a pick-up order, and your restaurant staff was rude and didn't put in my order.
Breakfast not included
Beautiful rooms with attentive staff and great location. My stay couldn't have been better! Can't wait to return to the Omni.
We stayed one night and decided to extend our stay for two more nights. The location was perfect - walking distance to historical points of interest in Philadelphia and to the wedding and reception we attended. The room was well appointed with a nice view. Nothing.
Location Small room and no facilities at a price that is equal to Sheraton and Hilton level hotels
Location, Staff, Lounge, Room, Breakfast.
The hotel location is excellent. It was within a short walking distance to many of the area attractions. Having a very nice breakfast in the hotel was a delightful way to start the mornings. The breakfast room reminded me of a hotel in Rome, Italy. It would be nice to have a mirror over the desk in the bedroom so one could be dressing, applying makeup, etc while the bathroom is being used.
Convenience to area
The hotel was located in a great location. My boyfriend and I liked the fact that we were able to walk to most of the famous sites around town and we both enjoyed the friendly staff. I checked the website before booking the hotel and I was shown a larger room. I was disappointed with the size of the room and felt like I was given false information and paid alot for a very small room.
I Beautiful old house with charming rooms. Despite the house was build in 18th century it is very well equiped, only elevator is missing. Perfect location: in the very center of the city, but away from traffic, so it is very quiet at nights.
interesting old building, home style breakfast no amenities
The room was lovely. Staff was helpful and cordial. Great location. Breakfast could be upgraded.
The easy way of behaving
Nice friendly place to stay especially if female on own. Central to everything in Philadelphia. Meal in courtyard was good too.
Great location, close to independence hall. Restaurants & bars within walking distance. But shower pressure could be better and you can feel vibrations from the underground trains (during the day only)
staff was nice, beautiful setting and building.
Great location, beautiful hotel, lovely room. Tea & cookies in the afternoon is a nice touch. Rubbish TV. Breakfast should be better
The small room was charming and, despite the age of the hotel, all systems worked beautifully – HVAC, plumbing, wifi.Common rooms were elegant and comfortable to read or work in. They are dedicated to paper and plastics recycling ... a nice contrast to so many larger hotels. Breakfast was skimpy and bread products were dry. Juice or a fruit bowl would have gone a long way to making this a memorable stay.
The staff were super friendly and couldn't do enough for us, the rooms were gorgeous and historic with walls full of books, and the homemade, warm cookies during the complimentary afternoon tea were to die for! Oh and the toiletries were all paraben-free, too! There was some rumbling of underground trains at regular intervals - enough to shake the teacups but not enough to keep us awake. And there's no lift, so if your room is on an upper floor, you might have problems with heavy luggage.
A lovely old home, now an attractive and conveniently located small hotel. Staff is attentive, rooms are clean and comfortable (two fireplaces in my room last night!) and breakfasts are lovely.
For the location, the price is pretty good This hotel is a dump. Some people call it character, but that's nonsense. You don't automatically get to say something has character just because it's in an old building. Dirty carpets, broken down beds, busted blinds, missing ceiling tiles, leftover dirty laundry from previous guests, showers that don't drain, and a staff that's only there a third of the day are not "character" features. They're poor maintenance issues. Don't go here unless you're strapped for cash and plan on spending very little time in the room
Location was perfect in the Olde City of Phildelphia. One block away from Independence hall. You can hear everything, the wall were thin.
the location was perfect for seeing the city it was quite loud, the payment process is sketchy (pay at a convenience store down the street)
Very loud music from restaurant downstairs
The location of this hotel is about the only good thing I can say. It's right in Old City and just about anything you could want to do is within walking distance. They were very misleading about the size and the amenities. Our "seating area" was a wooden chair. It was not very clean. The worst part though was the mouse that was sharing our room... Very disappointed in this hotel. Will not be back. Ever.
The location was in the heart of the Old City District. The room was very small and did not seem to fit the rate.
I loved their location and the vintage feel the old building gave. It would have been great to get an idea of the history of the building and why it was still standing after so many years.
Nothing The rooms do not match the pictures what so ever. The bed for sure had to have bed bugs and the restroom had roaches. I didn't even stay for a few hours before I left. Reminded me of a room out of AHS.
This was one of the worst hotels I have ever stayed at!! The room was unclean, cramped, paint peeling off the walls, mold in the bathroom and not cleaned until we complained. No elevator!
Downtown Philadelphia, old city district. Very nice personnel, cheap rates. no
Very nice personnel. Location is very good. Perfect place for budget staying for 1-5 days in Philadelphia.
I liked the helpfulness of the staff and the location of the hostel no negative emotions whatsoever
I felt this place was very laid back with a hip set up as well as staff. I got the feel this was a alternative dorm for the neighborhood!! Lack of privacy...... yet, i didnt have to stay there either!! :)
Male dorm smelled strongly of mildew
Front desk staff were very helpful in supplying directions and ideas of what to see. In the historical district. Bed and room were comfortable. Pub/bar next door is generally not that noisy except for one night pre-Halloween when it was extremely noisy. Liked having a washer/dryer - it really helped as travelling light. Grocery store around corner is open late. Easy to get to via train from airport. Or cab is about $30 (used this for early morning flight on return). Bathroom could use a bit more cleaning but it was clean enough. Bit far from rest of downtown but subway provides easy access or you can walk. Streets in area deserted if walking home late at night - recommend take subway (stop is only a block away) or take a cab.
The fact that the have events every night,making more easy to talk to the people how are in the hostel.

One Wounded in Shooting at Dayton VA Center
DAYTON, Ohio (WSPD) -- One person was wounded and the suspect is in custody after a shooting at the VA Medical Center on the west side of Dayton Monday.
Police say Neil Moore walked into the medical center building around 12:15 p.m. He apparently confronted Paul Burnside who was shot in the ankle.
"He actually struggled with Mr. Moore over the weapon and that's when he was shot," said Dayton Police Chief Richard Biehl.
Moore then left the VA campus. He showed up at Good Samaritan Hospital about a half-hour later where he arrived seeking psychiatric services.
Moore was taken to Dayton Police headquarters where he was being interviewed. Biehl wasn't sure of a motive.
Police are also investigating how Moore got from the VA Medical Center to Good Samaritan Hospital.
Moore is from the Dayton suburb of Trotwood. He had retired from the housekeeping department at the VA Medical Center.
The VA Medical Center's Dayton campus is closed for the rest of the day and veterans who need emergency services should go to their local hospital.

Mingo leaves the hospital could miss the rest of preseason
CLEVELAND (AP) Browns rookie linebacker Barkevious Mingo was released from the hospital after a two-night stay because of a bruised lung. The unusual injury came on a hit some time in the first half of Thursday night's exhibition victory over the Detroit Lions. The Browns can't pinpoint exactly when the 6-foot-4, 240-pounder was hurt.
Mingo had been in The Cleveland Clinic since Thursday night. He was at the team's training facility Saturday and visited with defensive coordinator Ray Horton during the team's lunch break before practice. "He looks great," Horton said. "As far as projections, the doctors will make that decision. We just want him to get healthy and are glad everything is OK.
The projection will be whenever his body says he is ready to go." The former LSU standout likely will be kept out of practice for the next week, and it's possible he will sit out Cleveland's final two preseason games at Indianapolis (Aug. 24) and Chicago (Aug. 29). Horton isn't too worried about Mingo missing time. "For a young guy, he needs every rep he can get," Horton said.
"He is very smart. He is on page. For us, it's just reps. It's seeing a different look. It's seeing (Colts QB) Andrew Luck. It's seeing different fronts, what they have and how they want to block him. It will retard a little bit, but he is pretty gifted in what he does and he picks things up fast. How much? I can't give you a quantitative answer, but it will hurt him a little bit."
Mingo played only on the kickoff-coverage and punt-return teams against the Lions. On Friday, coach Rob Chudzinski said even after reviewing the game, the team did not see any major impact that could have caused the injury. "We looked at the tape," Chudzinski said.
"There wasn't a big hit that you could see. Obviously he had a number of plays with some contact, but it was hard to determine which hit it was." Chudzinski said Mingo was having trouble breathing before he left the field and was taken to the hospital. The No. 6 overall pick in April's NFL draft, the speedy Mingo has been primarily playing special teams and with Cleveland's second-string defense.
However, Horton has been working Mingo into some of the Browns' pass-rushing packages to use his ability to pressure the quarterback from the edge. Fortunately, the Browns have others who can fill in while Mingo recovers. "We have a lot of players at a lot of positions who can play for us," Horton said. "Depth is a key for us. We have quality players at a lot of quality positions. A lot of people use the mantra, `Next man up.' We believe in that philosophy that it doesn't matter who the starters are, it is give me 11 guys who want to go out and play and can play. "He is one of our 11, so will it hurt our team? Yeah, it will hurt our team because of our depth, but we will get him back soon and we will plug him right back in."
Mingo was one of five Browns players to suffer a significant injury in the 24-6 win over the Lions. Running back Dion Lewis broke his left leg and is scheduled for surgery. It's not known how long Lewis will be sidelined, and Chudzinski said the team will wait until after the operation before deciding whether to put him on injured reserve.
Lewis, acquired in a March trade from Philadelphia, has been a pleasant addition for the Browns, who were hoping to use him as a change-of-pace with starter Trent Richardson. Lewis' injury will further test Cleveland's depth in the backfield since Montario Hardesty is expected to miss at least one month after undergoing arthroscopic knee surgery Thursday.
Starting right guard Jason Pinkston (high ankle sprain) left FirstEnergy Stadium in a walking boot and on crutches. Chudzinski said rookie Garrett Gilkey, a seventh-round pick, likely will move into the starting spot. Tight end Gary Barnidge (sprained shoulder) and rookie kicker Brandon Bogotay (groin) were also hurt in the preseason game but are not expected to be out long.

"On the whole, I'd rather be in Philadelphia." W.C. Fields may have been joking when he wrote his epitaph, but if he were here today, he would eat his words. They no longer roll up the sidewalks at night in Philadelphia. A construction boom, a restaurant renaissance, and cultural revival have helped transform the city. For more than 15 years there has been an optimistic mood, aggressive civic leadership, and national recognition of what the locals have long known: Philadelphia is a vibrant place to live—a city with an impressive past and a fascinating future.
Philadelphia is a place of contrasts: Grace Kelly and Rocky Balboa; Le Bec-Fin—one of the nation's finest French haute-cuisine restaurants—and the fast-food heaven of Jim's Steaks; Independence Hall and the modest Mario Lanza Museum; 18th-century national icons with 21st-century-style skyscrapers soaring above them. The world-renowned Philadelphia Orchestra performs in a stunning concert hall—the focal point of efforts to transform Broad Street into a multicultural Avenue of the Arts. Along the same street, 25,000 Mummers dressed in outrageous sequins and feathers historically have plucked their banjos and strutted their stuff to the strains of "Oh, Dem Golden Slippers" on New Year's Day. City residents include descendants of the staid Quaker Founding Fathers, the self-possessed socialites of the Main Line (remember Katharine Hepburn and Cary Grant in The Philadelphia Story?), and the unrestrained sports fans, who are as vocal as they are loyal.
Historically speaking, Philadelphia is a city of superlatives: the world's largest municipal park; the best collection of public art in the United States; the widest variety of urban architecture in America; and according to some experts, the greatest concentration of institutions of higher learning in the country.


text: Hi, I am working on some tools for an upcoming penetration test of my network. I have been running nessus scans on some XP boxes and they are currently showing as vulnerable to the MS08-067 vulnerability. I am exporting the scans as .nbe files and importing them into Metasploit framework3 using a sqlite3 database. When I run db_autopwn -t -x, some older exploits will show up but not the MS08-067 one that is in Metaploit. I looked in the nbe file and the reference to MS08-067 does show up. I have also ran fasttrack and that exploit from Metasploit does work. How does Metasploit reference the vulnerabilities found in the nessus scan?

2007 Porsche Cayman Problems
RepairPal has identified the most common problems with the 2007 Porsche Cayman based on complaints from actual vehicle owners. We'll tell you what the problem is and what it'll take to fix it.
An engine oil leak may develop for the valve cover gasket. Gasket replacement will be required to correct these leaks.
Due to air leaks at various locations after the mass air flow sensor, the Check Engine Light may illuminate with fault codes P0171 and P0174 stored.
A fault with the camshaft tensioner may cause camshaft timing issues resulting in illumination of the Check Engine Light.
If the vehicle cannot return to run position after start or if the interior fan is not getting power, it may be the electrical portion of the ignition switch has become erratic or has failed. The entire switch assembly should be replaced.
A failing mass air flow sensor or EVAP system purge valve can cause engine misfire concerns. Proper diagnoses of engine misfire issues is necessary to correct these issues.
Engine oil leaks can occur at the rear main seal and/or intermediate support cover o-ring; a revised seal is available. A careful diagnosis with proper tools is necessary to verify dimensional accuracy of the crankshaft to engine block.
Depending on driving habits, brake pad and rotor wear can be excessive. Our technicians recommend regular brake inspection.
Smoke, oil consumption, and fuel trim issues with various fault codes can be traced to an internal leak at the oil separator.

I can already smell their cheap cologne
Yea... Superstorm Sandy has shut down the beaches here in NJ for this summer. Looks like they'll all be heading your way. Enjoy!
I'm more concerned about all of the d-bag drivers that will be all hyped up from the release of the fast and the furious movie tonight
DP sessions are the way to go. All the Summer people are to hung over to hit it that early.
