The majority of the Jewish population was supported by various types of trades: owners of grocery stores, haberdasheries, woven fabrics, decorative and ornamental items, leather, tobacco and accessories, tools, iron and building materials, paint and chemicals, writing materials, textbooks. There were also those who had been merchants of good standing, whose businesses were now failing now they lost their possessions and fought not to be ejected from the branch of commerce in which they had engaged for so long. All their merchandise was piled on a pushcart on market day, which was Wednesday.
A large number of inhabitants earned their livelihood as craftsmen, alone or with their sons or other family members. Relatively few had apprentices. This was a community of tailors, shoemakers, hatters, leatherworkers, carpenters, blacksmiths, a tinsmith, a miller of grain, a maker of vegetable oil.
There were also a number of good and devoted workmen who engaged in non-Jewish work, such as making roads and pathways: Rabbi Zelig Friedman and his two sons Yehezkiel and Simcha. Roofers Tuvia Mendzhitsky and his two sons Yitzhak and Yaakov covered the roofs of houses with small wooden shingles, hand fitted to attach firmly to one another. The blacksmiths were known as good-hearted people; they knew everything that was going on in the community. They were Henoch Israelsky and his son Hirsch, Leib Riback and his son, and others.
In the twenties there developed in Radzymin a type of businessman who supplied and sold his products to factories or big wholesalers in Warsaw. These were makers of knitted tricot clothes, rubber clothing, leather clothing, curtains and other goods. The first to supply rubber clothing in sufficient quantity to Warsaw were Shlomo Chaim Nadovitsky and his sons Mendel and Beryl. The first producers of tricot were Chaim Abkovitz and his sons, Shlomo Yehoshuah Silverstein and Joseph Kaplushnik.
The Struggle to Survive
The source of survival of the Jews of the town was the rural population in the communities close to Radzymin. The market day, usually the fourth day of the week, was the central economic event in the city. The mood of the merchants doing small-scale business was measurably enlivened if, after several weeks of poor profits, market days enabled them to carry on until better times, when they could repay money they had borrowed.
We remember vividly the spectacle of market day in our city. Hundreds and hundreds of farmers and their wives with horse-drawn wagons wend their way through paths and roads from their hamlets to the city. They bring for sale racks of corn and grain, potatoes and onions, fowl and eggs, fruit and calves, greens and bunches of autumn fruits. The farmers and their wares congregated mainly in two central areas of the city -- in front of the church and across from the municipal building. The sellers of grain roamed among the wagons, felt the sacks of grain and asked, What's the price today? Among the feelers were many just whiling away the time. Early in the morning, there was no activity; the merchants of the city were not in a hurry to buy from the farmers. And the latter were in no hurry to sell until 'the birds of the sky would raise their voices' and show them whether the sale was 'strong' or 'weak'.
It was in the afternoon that the fair attained momentum. Articles for sale changed hands; farmers and their wives who had been successful in selling their wares streamed toward the stalls and booths of the city people (most of them Jews) who had painted their stores or set up stalls in the street for 'fair day'. In the area of the market could be seen farmers trying on hats or caps, others bargaining with the city shoemaker over a pair of shiny boots, or trying on a winter coat. Jews and non-Jews, acquaintances and relatives from neighboring villages, had plenty to chat about and to raise glasses to and more glasses, and more until there erupted a big squall and it was necessary to call the police.
The wives of the farmers congregated at the stores and stalls in the market, and with the money they had earned from the sales of agricultural products, they bought sugar, salt, tea, coffee, thread, safety pins, decorative items, clothing, colored ribbons, colorful scarves, and cigarettes and tobacco for their husbands.
The tailors and shoemakers in Radzymin could not pin their hopes solely on market day. The struggle to survive was not completely supported by this day. As some of them jested bitterly, From market day In Radzymin it is impossible to make Shabbos . It was therefore necessary to load up the horse-drawn wagons and travel to big fairs ( yeridim ) in neighboring cities such as Volomin, Tlusht and Kamintshuk.
The Economic War of the Poles vs. the Jews
A description of the economic conditions of the Jews of Radzymin and their struggle to support themselves and their families would not be complete if we disregarded the hostile attitude of the Polish government to the Jewish minority in their country, and their oppressive policies regarding Jewish merchants and workers. The purpose of these policies was to undermine the economic viability of the Jewish trades people. To do this, the government organized 'Christian cooperatives' to strengthen the Polish merchants and Christian workers. The Department of the Treasury and the municipal governments instituted the policy to collect taxes ruthlessly. As in other Polish cities, this policy did not lag in Radzymin. The anti-Semites in Radzymin did not hide their strong hope to eliminate the Jews' source of support, to weaken and oppress them. And because most of Radzymin's Jews earned their living from trade and business, they suffered greatly from the heavy taxes imposed upon them by the Department of the Treasury.
The first victims of this hostile policy were the little merchants and workers who were not organized. The weaker the Jew was economically, the easier it was to liquidate him totally, and to turn him into a charity case, dependent on the community, a type far from unknown in the Jewish community in those days. These people received immediate succor from acquaintances and goodhearted Jews. Trades people without a strong foundation, most of the business people, collapsed. Jewish merchants and workers were engaged in a daily struggle to survive, and were at times regarded as dramatic and stubborn characters.
After they lost their livelihood, they struggled valiantly for their position and survival. A small percentage of workers gave their ideas as to how to defend themselves from poverty and how to strengthen the failing merchants and factory owners so they could continue operations. Thus was organized in Radzymin an 'Association of Merchants' and an 'Association of Workers.' The Association of Merchants even organized a loan bank.
Help and Mercy Organizations
Among the members of the Association of Merchants were elected Shlomo Kaploshnik, Khenoch Hendel, the brothers Itsha and Abraham Radzyminsky, Moshe Safrose, Israel Jacob Vishnivsky, Abraham Radnivar and others. They were members of the administration. These associations had permanent connections with the centers in Warsaw, and more than once asked Jewish representatives in Parliament to intervene with the central government in the state to prevent violence against the Jews of Radzymin, or when a permit for a Jewish factory was withheld, etc. It must be noted that the strong feeling of Jewish solidarity at this time created some stormy meetings in the Association of Workers when it seemed to some that their representatives did not work with all their power for the good of a needy member.
People's Loan Bank
An important factor in the economic life of the Jews in the city during the twenties and thirties was the People's Loan Bank. It made loans to poor merchants and workers with low interest, loans that enabled Jews to acquire raw materials and save their businesses. Sometimes the loan system allowed the Jew to rescue merchandise that had been seized by the local Treasury Office because of arrears in payment of 'entrance tax' or other taxes.
Among the workers of the bank, who invested much time and labor, were appointed Yehiel Tschepansky, Eliezer Hendel, David Yisraelsky, the teacher Abraham Don, Eliezer Alberg and others. On the first day of the week the board meeting of the bank was held and loans were approved. Usually, the total of the loans requested was greater than the amount available, and the board members were forced to ask about each request: Was it urgent or could it wait a week? Many of those who had applied for loans waited in the waiting room until the meeting ended, when the officer in charge of aid, Yehoshuah Bergman, would announce the names of those to whom help was granted. Sometimes they would noisily erase the names of those who had not been deemed to be in dire need.
Another source of loan was the fund Gemilat Chasadim that existed in nearly all the groups and clubs in the city, and in the shtieblach of the Hasidim. Meriting special praise were the few merchants on the city whose support was worthy and plentiful, and whose hands were open to the needy and oppressed among the storekeepers, peddlers and workers. This was a community needing urgent help. The merchants whose hearts were open to them and who helped lighten their load were Nissan Silberstein, Pesach Milgram and Baruch Yonish. Those that benefited from their goodness of heart knew that they would be able to return their kindness when their condition improved. But that time was long in coming. When the war broke out in September 1939, the merchants assembled those in debt and announced that the debts of those in dire need were cancelled.
Lodging Houses ( Linat HaTzedek )
Without doubt, Linat HaTzedek , which is no longer in existence, was one of the oldest groups in Radzymin. Its workers claimed that it had been established before the First World War. Certainly the seed from which it developed had been in existence a long time giving medical help to poor, sick people, including payment to doctors, getting special medicine for isolated poor people, increasing the watch by the sick bed. Poor sick people received good, tasty cooked food or special dietetic food that the wives of workers supplied to the lodging houses.
There is no doubt that the Jews of the city involved themselves generously in the work of these houses, and when one of the active members needed medical treatment, they all knew that he was ill and their eyes followed him with admiration.
Very poor people were not lacking in Radzymin, and in those days the incidence of disease was harder to deal with than at present. If a member of the family had a prolonged illness, it was a tragedy. To call a doctor and pay for a home visit, or even to buy medicine at the pharmacy was often beyond their resources. More than once was the head of the family in a dilemma, whether to buy medicine for the sick child or bread for the rest of his children to do both was usually impossible. There were times when the head of the family was forced to go to his daily work and leave the sick child alone in the house, with no one to take his temperature or give him medicine or watch over him. In serious situations of this kind, the workers of the lodging houses would appear as angels and saviors.
Sometimes the members of Linat HaTzedek took in other members of a family who were near collapse from lack of sleep or the strain of never-ending care of the sick one. The workers of Linat HaTzedek had to spend time seeking financial support to care for the poor and homeless, and the Jewish community regarded them with respect. Individuals responded according to their ability, so that the group could function without hardship.
Those appointed to Linat HaTzedek were Moshe Baruch Wegman (organizer of Bnei Brak), Mendel Ashman, Baruch Yonish, Aaron Joseph Kosover, Chaim Ankovitz, Itza Meir Ashkenazi, Eliezer Hendel, Abraham Dov, Yehiel Tzfensky, Moshe Baruch Ashman (who is still alive in Israel). Most honored and respected was the owner of the only pharmacy in the city, the Christian Casomir Rovodovski, for his work in Linat HaTzedek . The Polish Christian community was not accustomed to this expression of humanity and worry for the recovery of the sick person. This was beyond the duty of the pharmacy owner, who also held a high position in the community. He saw how a Jew of the upper class came to the pharmacy to buy medicine for a poor Jew who was lying ill in another part of the city. Because of his high regard for the society, he sold his medicines and other health needs on credit, a practice that would not for many years be generally accepted. Once the pharmacy owner said to my deceased father Aaron Joseph, You can see in me a friend. I helped them with all their obligations and debts of Linat HaTzedek when there was no money left in the kupah (fund). Before his friends and before the leaders of the Polish community who visited him in the pharmacy, he more than once characterized his work in Linat HaTzedek as humanitarian endeavor and succor.
Hevrah Kadisha (Holy Society) (Preparation for burial)
The few Jews who were accepted as members of the Hevrah Kadisha in Radzymin also received special respect from the general Jewish community. It was understood that not everyone was so fortunate, and the society accepted only a few. They had to be people of special standing. A certain mystical aura surrounded this holy institution and its active workers. It is not surprising that the Jews congregated in the area of the cemetery, even at night, as if in their own backyards, or in the purification room with the corpse, in order to perform the purification before burial.
Nevertheless, people in the community used to tell jokes about the society, albeit cautiously, because they knew themselves to be mortal and that one day they too would be in their hands. For anyone born of woman is destined to be taken to the purification committee. The joking arose because the Hevra would request a large sum of money for the cemetery plot from the family of a deceased person that was well-off. More than once this ignited a bitter public quarrel. Usually, many in the community took upon themselves the obligation to stop the Holy Society from demanding too much. When an important and beloved man went to his final resting place, many congregated near his house even though they did not have permission to enter.
The members of the Holy Society were the overseers of the cemetery. They established burial policies and assigned the burial plots to the most honored -- to the pious and the scholarly, to deceased honored for their own merit or for the merit of their family lineage. They did their work faithfully, with holiness and purity, with intent to perform an act of true kindness, that is, not in expectation of reward. They were known in town as good people, doing good to all, helping everyone, and giving charity in secret.
Among the honorary members of the Hevrah Kadisha were appointed: Shlomo Kaplushnick, a righteous and respected Jew, Shmuel Moshe Gatovitch, Yehudah Leib Kulas, Henech Putsch, Israel Peskovitch, Itze Meir Ashkenazi, Avram Yaakov Bergman, Avram Leib Radzyminsky (in his house were held the conferences of the gabbaim), Avram Radziner (lives today in Israel), and brothers Benjamin Leib, Yaakov Avram and Hersch Pesach Kelusky.
The most honored member of the group, for many years the respected elder, was Hersch Ber Yonish, in whose house were held the annual dinners of the Hevrah Kadisha on the eighth day of Adar, the date of the birth and death of 'Moses Our Teacher'.

Broomstix: Story, art, magic and craft!
Story, art, magic and creative activities for families to share and do.
Plant A Faery Chair!
Flower Faeries are intriguing to have in the garden. A great way to invite them to move into your own herb garden is to plant an enticing Faerie Chair. Faerie scouts will be able to see this high rise Faerie Garden from a great distance! They will be so delighted that perhaps a whole clan will make their home near this awesome chair garden. You do however, have to make sure that your friends and relatives never try to sit on the chair. Who knows what will happen?
Begin by finding an old wooden chair. Garage sales are a good source or in my case I remembered I had some chairs up in the top of the barn. Remove the seat part of the chair. And gather the rest of the needed materials:
- Chicken wire
- Staple gun
- Wire cutters
- Sphagnum moss
- Potting soil
- Green sheet moss
- Curly branches
- Special herb plants for the Faeries:
Lady's Mantle~so that the Faeries can shower with the dew drops. The dew drops from this perennial keep away wrinkles. This is very important for someone as old as the Faeries.
Lavender~the clan likes to have many parties and lavender infused wine is one of their favorites (promotes pure knowledge!). Lavender plants are where the Faeries drape their clothes to dry and the lavender scent perfumes the air so there is no stress.
Woolly Lamb's Ear~this is a perennial pet for the Faeries--normal animals are just too big!
Thyme~a must! The Faeries build their homes under the mounds of thyme.
Rosemary~is good for the memory! A trailing variety looks great trailing down over the side of the chair.
Boxwood~can be clipped into a topiary tree and decorated for a special Faerie event--perhaps a wedding (small leaf boxwood would be the best!).
Sweet Woodruff~the whirly white blossoms of the sweet woodruff reflect the moonlight for late night Faerie dancing.
It is best to find a work area outside to plant the chair. With any luck the Faeries will spot what you are doing and the word will get out quickly!
Cut two squares of chicken wire approximately 12" wider than the opening of the chair seat.
Staple the chicken wire to the sides and form the excess wire into a pouch. You might want to double the staples to insure the pouch is secure.
Line the bottom of the chicken wire pouch with wet sphagnum moss. The mesh should be covered with moss that is approximately 2" deep.
Fill in the pouch with a good potting soil amended with compost or well rotted manure. Bring the soil up to the level of the top of the seat.
Plant the herbs in the soil. Remember to keep taller growing plants at the back and the shorter plants such as thyme to the front.
Water well and cover the soil around the plants with the green sheet moss.
Curly branches should be twisted down a leg of the chair which will allow Flower Faeries a means of climbing up to their Faerie Garden. If you have extra branches they can be inserted into the soil at the back in case the Faeries want to build a swing. To encourage interest, place mini tea sets on the moss. You can also make a sign and tie it to one of the chair legs with brightly colored rafia.
Faeries like all kinds of earthly delights. Add acorns, seashells and bits of gold ribbon but most of all add your imagination and have lots of "Faerie Fun." The chair should be watered once a day and in cold temperatures in the winter, given some protection. Happy gardening!

April 25, 2013 - Yesterday at 3p (a fact first reported on our Premium Court message board, along with his primary recruiter), Georgetown visited Class of 2014 guard D'Angelo Russell at his Montverde Academy (FL) school. For the record, it was head coach John Thompson III who traveled to see the talented, 6'4" performer.
What did they talk about, and how did Russell receive the visit? Again, Premium Court has the answers.
Russell, originally from Louisville, KY, is a versatile guard capable of playing both guard positions - basically he's a combo that can score, dime, and defend. A lefty, Russell also has picked up his leadership impact, all of which were detailed here, yesterday.
Rivals.com has him ranked 22nd nationally, in the Class of 2014.
Return to HoyaReport.com for more on Russell's recruitment, including exclusive photos of him in NHSI play.


text: Aziz Ansari has become one of the most popular stand-up comedians currently performing today with his unique blend of high-energy, observational humor that has made him a hit with many different age groups. Ansari got his start performing stand-up while attending New York University, and steadily began to build a following in the comedy community. In 2007, he got his first big break working with fellow comedians Rob Huebel, Jason Woliner and Paul Scheer to create the MTV sketch comedy show, Human Giant. This weekly selection of SNL-type sketches gained a following on MTV and helped him to improve his professional profile. As Ansari built up his rep at Manhattan comedy clubs and started to receive offers for specials on Comedy Central, he had recurring appearances on the ABC sitcom Scrubs, as well as the HBO series Flight of the Conchords. In 2008, he landed his first major television role with the premiere of NBC's new show, Parks and Recreation. As public employee Tom Haverford, Ansari is a master of wise cracks and slacking around the office, and the role helped to solidify his place in American pop culture. While the show experienced tepid ratings at the beginning, critics began to paint Ansari as a "scene-stealer" and gave him warm reviews as an entertainer to look out for in the future. In addition to his success on network television, Ansari's stand-up career has blossomed significantly and he now performs in sold-out stadiums and theatres all over the country. In a clear sign of his growing popularity, he was selected to host the 2010 MTV Movie Awards where he performed a musical tribute to the film Avatar in the style of R. Kelly and performed a short film with his Human Giant cast mates. In addition to his small-screen successes, Ansari has made appearances in many hit comedies over the past few years, such as Funny People, I Love You, Man and Get Him to the Greek. In the midst of this never-ending list of professional opportunities, Ansari hasn't lost his love of standup, and will be touring extensively in the United States throughout much of 2012. Whether he's telling a story from the perspective of his swagger-filled character Taavon, or expressing his love for the awkward nature of R. Kelly, Ansari's stand-up performances are always filled with interesting surprises to the delight of his audiences.

You've seen the ads where the hard-working Amish folk are handcrafting miracle space heaters and no doubt scoffed at their absurdity and marveled at their Photoshop skills- but do the darn things work? Consumer Reports investigates in this video.
The ads claim that the "roll-n-glo" heaters slash heating costs. However, heating a room with electricity (and "flames" provided by two 40watt bulbs) costs twice as much as gas. The only way you'll save money is if you turn the heat way down in the rest of the house. "If you're looking for a heating miracle, keep looking, many other heaters will heat small spaces for a lot less money," says Consumer Reports Bob Markovich.

Marlene Julien: Dr Bike
Marlene loves leisure cycling but she rode her bike alone until spring 2011. The turning point came when she joined Trax off-road cycling club as the Welfare Officer, encouraged by Daniel Mintz who was Chairman.
I was inspired by the passion and example of the Trax team to bring the joy of cycling to more people. It is important that everyone can take part, so we secured Smarter Travel funding for bikes which can be borrowed by riders who don't have their own."
Marlene Julien
Marlene was keen to get more women involved with Trax. She trained as a Breeze champion and in April set up Trax Breeze rides for women. Marlene also realised that a big obstacle for encouraging new riders was the fact that many do not have a bike, and are unsure what type of bike would be best to buy as a beginner. It was obvious to Marlene that good quality pool bikes that women could borrow for free were the answer to completely removing this barrier.
Marlene soon found that local women who had little or no cycling experience joined up. She explained: "Everyone has progressed to the longer led rides. All our rides are fun and our participant list continues to grow. Anyone can suggest routes and places to visit. The feedback has been great, with riders getting a buzz from visiting new places, getting faster and fitter or simply being part of a friendly, happy group."
Marlene is keen to keep improving the rides and to continue supporting local women to cycle: "We are looking for more ride leaders to join us so that we can have a more varied and ambitious timetable. We will also encourage and support Haringey women to organise and run cycling activities for their local communities."
For more details about Trax and cycling activities they offer for women, email firstname.lastname@example.com.
Trax is a Bike Club operating in a very disadvantaged area of London, near Boadwater Farm. Trax offer a wide range of cycling activities for everyone to enjoy. They are supported by Cycling UK via a Bike Club grant of £3000.

ORLANDO, Fla. - Orange County Mayor Teresa Jacobs is proposing new changes to county regulations on texting and lobbying that will make the county's regulations the highest in Florida.
According to a release from the county, Jacobs will ask the Board of County Commissioners to prohibit lobbying by text messaging and voicemail. Jacobs will also recommended that board members, including the mayor and appointed staff, ban the use of personal mobile devices for county business.
"I want to ensure that our government operates as openly and transparently as possible," said Jacobs. "The recent furor over text messages from lobbyists during public hearings brought to light the need to update our policies to keep pace with the latest communications tools and customs."
Jacobs will also recommend all lobbyists to log all contacts with the mayor or commissioners, including phone calls, within seven days of the conversation.
The changes come as a response to an uproar 4 months ago during a meeting over a sick-time initiative. The commission voted to delay putting it on the ballot after being coached by special interests texting the mayor and commissioners during the meeting.
In a controversy dubbed "Textgate," despite several records requests, many commissioners haven't turned over their text messages, some saying they were either deleted or too tough to retrieve.
"It's asking the fox to guard the hen house and it's too little too late," said Maria McCluskey, with Citizens for a Greater Organization which supported the sick-time initiative.
The mayor's proposal would also only limit lobbyists from texting top officials and would not prevent their acquaintances or other business leaders from doing so.
"The county commission, when they texted with big business lobbyists, violated that public trust and the onus is on them to gain that back," said McCluskey.
50,000 citizens signed the petition supporting sick-time but county leaders voting it down.
"I think it has temporarily tarnished our image, what we do with this will determine what the public thinks of us," Jacobs said.
Jacobs will propose the changes at the Jan. 15 meeting. A final vote won't be made at the meeting, but Jacobs says she believes she'll have a lot of support among commissioners.
No investigation has been launched over the text messages, but sick-time supporters have filed a lawsuit over the text messages.

This is my first post so I want to say right up front, Blake thank you for your contribution to the teeming masses trying to figure this game out, you deserve a standing ovation. And thanks to all the posters who contribute.

Ventless Technology
TurboChef ovens are certified to operate ventless for all foods except "fatty raw proteins" (e.g., bone-in, skin-on chicken, raw hamburger, fat-laden steaks, etc.). This is because the ovens function as their own Type I hoods systems* due to our patented UL-recognized integral recirculating airpath system, which catalytically scrubs grease and VOCs from the air and converts them into CO2 and H2O.
- Blower motors recycle air throughout the cook cavity.
- Simultaneously, the air is rapidly heated.
- An interior catalytic converter cleans the recirculated air each time it is re-heated.
- On some oven models, air is further cleaned by catalysts in the vent tube before being emitted into the environment.
With over 150,000 ovens installed worldwide, our ventless technology has been tested and proven.
How the Ovens are Tested
TurboChef ovens are evaluated according to UL. The evaluation entails placing the test oven in an environmental chamber built to capture all emissions escaping during idle, cooking, and door-open conditions. During the eight-hour test period, a typical worst-case food item is cooked continually, and 100% of condensable and noncondensable emissions from the product are collected and analyzed according to the EPA 202 Test Method.
At the conclusion of the test, the total concentration of particulate matter (emissions) must be less than 5.0 mg/m³ for the oven to be certified for ventless operation. Cooking devices that measure above the 5.0 mg/m³ threshold are considered to produce grease and must be installed under Type I ventilation, according to International Mechanical Code.
* The HhC 2020 and HhC 2620 ovens may require installation of additional fire suppression equipment at the discretion of local authorities or jurisdictions. Ultimate ventless allowance is dependent upon AHJ approval, as some jurisdictions may not recognize the UL® certification or application.

Any reaction from Vogel in the post game presser?
The funny thing is, when i was watching tonights game, I was thinking " You know what, go fight somebody! " If you cant beat anyone playing basketball, atleast show me some life and go fight someone. Foul someone hard. Shove someone. Show some pride. This team is getting dominated. I mean, if Kevin Durant keeps driving the ball to the basket, at what point does one of our guys step up, be a ****ing man and put that ******* on his back! DO SOMETHING!
If i'm Vogel ( easy for me to say obvioulsy ), I start all the bench players the next game. Lance, PG, Ty, Jeff, Posey you wanna start? I'm sure Posey would love to go out there and give some effort. I bet Solomon Jones would atleast provide effort. I'm not saying the bench is better, but right now, someone needs to send these starters a message. Vogel needs to let these guys know that this half assed horrible basketball is not acceptable and if they're gunna be starters on a " NBA pro team " , then they need to play like NBA Pro's.
Enough with this ****. I'm so tired of the same ****. And **** Larry Bird. I dont want that guy making trades and spending the cap space. He hasnt done **** for 4 years. Pritchard would work a miracle with the cap space we have. He needs to be the guy.

Danny is the only two players with the right to yell at anyone tonight. But if it's from the Goon squad, at least it's coming from players with intensity.
I've got a feeling it's Dahntay and Jeff though. Seeing as they were the ones yelling in the game. And I've gotta say, Dahntay shouldn't be here.
If that's what you think, that's fine with me. Make no mistake I love the second unit's play and energy recently, I just don't think forming a particular small "group" within this "team" is a good thing.
They are the only guys with any bit of chemistry right now. And Vogel isn't playing them enough together in games.
BTW, I think Tyler was joking about the Lance thing (Ish, Lance isn't a part of the goon squad right now.)
And Price's point was that this unit plays well together, and mixing a starter in doesn't work as well. That's not being exclusive, it's making an observation.
"its members only" wtf this isnt a country club
we can move this player with that player and try this offence and this defense,but I think every combination has be tried , it is not going work. What we need is a complete change this offseason.

Dude..it was a light hearted article. It was essentially Tyler and AJ being "GTFO" *giggle* Those five players have formed an identity that they are proud of. All Hans was saying was you gotta earn it to be a part of it. And heck, good for them. How is this any different than calling a group of guys on a team "the big three"
They probably are annoyed with their teammates though. It probably sucks to have to come in every night and dig the team out of a 10+ point hole.
Last edited by Sookie; 03-06-2011 at 01:33 AM.
As for the other posts about starting the Goon Squad, starting them would mean more minutes for them, which may or may not be bad on an individual player basis (e.g., Jeff may not be able to take the extra pounding that 30+ minutes per game might bring). Why risk injury or prolonged debilitation?
On the other hand, many posters have complained that the younsters should play more. Although we could have to endure tons more blowouts that way.
Despite it being a critical point in the season, to put George in the starting line up could be great. I'm sure we would all be satisfied with an effort by Vogel to introduce a player into either line. It doesn't have to be permanent, but test it out one game.
Oh irrationality, how I hate thee
I don't think Jeff Foster particularly helps the defense.... and his offense is questionable at best...
...I'm not sure I like seeing Lance get the minutes he's getting unless we're giving up on the playoffs and building for the future. I think Lance either should've been getting minutes all along and slowly building them this season, or they needed to consider keeping him on ice the entire year... and/or just dressing him for garbage minutes this season. What I'm saying is I think he throws a monkey wrench into the works trying to suddenly carve out meaningful minutes for him.
I think it throws a kink into the chemistry. I also think the 'not happening' trade talk leaking out hurt chemistry.
To me, the team is actually being ran like it's a developing team and the playoffs aren't really the goal now. I'm fine with that to a point, although I think for this team the playoffs are realistically a goal without O'Brien here. So it surprises me to see the organization actually acting like the playoffs aren't really 'the' goal afterall. Where was that attitude during the 4 wasted O'Brien years? (Technically, year 1 maybe wasn't wasted... the rest IMHO were a waste of everyone's time).
There's going to be ups and downs when you're finding developmental minutes for players and using your youth. It's hard to complain when I think that's what should've been done for some time. And with the improved coaching, and smart use of our players, the playoffs were a realistic thought for this season (once O'Brien was gone). But instead we seemed to have decided developing players is more important than the playoffs this season. Possibly, that attitude has also created a chemistry issue among the players.
Oh well... I just want them to stick with a real plan and see it through. If it's developmental minutes and taking our lumps, so be it. But then let's not panic if the developmental minutes approach leads to some losses and the loss of the playoff goal.
Nuntius was right for a while. I was wrong for a while. But ultimately I was right and Frank Vogel has been let go.
"A player who makes a team great is more valuable than a great player. Losing yourself in the group, for the good of the group, thats teamwork."
-John Wooden
The Miami Heat aren't 8 games under .500 and hanging on for dear life to the last playoff spot.
Don't think everything needs change, but a few things need looked at when you're getting embarrassed like we have, and the only player out is Dunleavy. And the 1st unit has been playing terrible.
I peeked into the game thread...good lord. How about we stop losing our s*** over the ups and downs of developing and evaluating the talent. JOB needed to do this 2 years ago and now we are suffering for it.
I'm really sick of seeing UB make cracks that suggest that any of us thought that firing JOB was due to the wins and losses.
Listen Buck, I'm talking directly to you on this one - you darn well know that I explicitly told my ticket rep that I DID NOT CARE ABOUT THE WINS AND LOSSES. Again that's DID NOT CARE.
I said that I wanted to stop worrying about the W-L record and start worrying about getting the young kids on the court so they could get on with learning how to play NBA ball AND so that we could get on with evaluating their chances as NBA talent.
How can you know what needs to be fixed if you don't find out what is broken?
So as frustrating as some of their poor play can be, as much as it sucks seeing guys like Foster dragging due to the losses, it's also exciting and interesting to see those moments when things start to click.
what happened to the team that almost beat Miami on the road?
Sittin on top of the world!
I understand that but then they either needed to come to a different decision and start using him situationally much sooner, or decide to put him on ice for the season... or at best spot minutes in blowouts and such once the court decision was handed down.
I don't understand putting him on ice for 2/3rds of the season because of the court case and then suddenly throwing him to the wolves in the stretch run for the playoffs. ...Unless TPTB have decided the playoffs are not really the goal they've been in the past afterall... even if the playoff chances were probably more realistic now than at any time over the past several seasons.
But, like I said, I'm fine with developing players and seeing what we have. I think the playoffs are fools gold for weak teams anyway. It's just this handling of Lance I find odd.
Nuntius was right for a while. I was wrong for a while. But ultimately I was right and Frank Vogel has been let go.
"A player who makes a team great is more valuable than a great player. Losing yourself in the group, for the good of the group, thats teamwork."

They flew out of Dallas just after the game. Maybe they went out here in Houston I suppose but my guess is that they just hit the hotel by that time of night.
Youth = Inconsistency
Typically it's little mistakes that blow up into bad plays, especially sloppy offense or poor shot selection that becomes transition offense. Like Tyler getting stuffed to the floor tonight, goes the other way and Tyler commits the foul. Or Lance throwing that horrible pass right to the Rockets.
And Roy could be a whole book on inconsistency himself.
You don't get better for free. It's a long grind.
Thats why I am so frustruted this needed to be done a long time ago like 5 years ago. We didnt rebulit the right way and it is so frusting to do it so late. Danny was 25 two years ago I fell like we are wasting his career. We should have been through this phase of growing pains and devloping young talent and learning to play the right way. But no we had to trade for Murphleavy instead of rebuliding the FO for JOB and not rebuliding sooner this is so frustrating.

Thank you! Like I've been saying, what do people expect from a bunch of rookie through third year players. Let's be realistic here.
While I do think there are flaws in our offensive and defensive scheme (mainly they help defense), the youth on this team is going to give us games like this and games like playing against Miami.
We had Murphleavy before then... And Seth is saying the young guys needed to be playing more two years ago. Not that we needed to be trading people for young talent.
You can't just trade people like this is 2k11. Jackson and Harrington didn't exactly have the best of trade values then. **** is a lot easier said than done. Was it a great trade? Of course not, but we are turning it into DC and cap space this off season.
And Danny is fine. He is 27 and has plenty of years left in him.
look at my edit and re read it. We could have got an expiring and a pick for them. But instead we tried to put a band aid on the franchise instead of rebuliding the right way.

|America's 100 Largest Yachts - 2003
By Diane M. Byrne
POW! SOCK! OOF! If you were even remotely near a TV set in the late 1960's and into the 1970's, you likely remember these words prominently (and, if you had the right set, colorfully) bursting onto the screen. They punctuated the climactic fight scenes in the Batman series, making the campy show all the more fun to watch.
When the series hit the big screen in the 1960's, some of the coolest Bat Toys made their debut. Sure, Batman and Robin already had the Batmobile when they needed to bolt out of Wayne Manor, but the movie producers wanted something more—something that would, well, blow the competition out of the water. So what did they do? They created the Batboat, of course. Admit it: Whether you were an adult or a wide-eyed kid, you were impressed.
But you're a mature adult now, so you only have time for serious things, right? But wait a second—remember that day when the biggest yacht you'd ever seen pulled into your marina? You wondered right out loud what size she was. And what about the time you recognized Leslie Wexner's Limitless or Paul Allen's Tatoosh and called our office or dashed off a letter to us? (You know who you are.) Like the Caped Crusader solving one of The Riddler's teasers, we've got you figured out: You're still that kid who wanted to drive the Batboat more than the Batmobile. You, like all of us here, are amazed at the size of these yachts and curious about their features.
Here's your chance to revisit that pure wonder. As we do every year with "America's 100 Largest Yachts," we include the LOA and other specifications after each name (see the key at right).
What yachts will debut on next year's list? Stay tuned—same bat time, same bat channel.
KEY: L=length; Y=year launched (where two dates are given, the last is a refit date); B=builder; N=naval architect; H=hull material; E=engines

Film photos of New Bedford Mass. Current work (preferably shot for the purpose of this exhibit). . Ready to hang FRAMED PRINTS, ready to sell (gallery takes 35%). . Prints can be made traditionally, alternatively, or digitally. . Color or B&W. . Minimum 2 prints per photographer, no maximum, but gallery makes final decision on what to hang. . No entry fee, but committed participation is necessary - we have a whole gallery to fill. This is a great opportunity to show work, a chance to sell work, and an excuse to come to an interesting part of New England. Reply to (me) Elias Roustom before the end of September to commit. New Bedford's historic downtown is a National Park, with professional park rangers who can help guide your visit. I'd be happy to meet out of town photographers to give directions, as I work in the city. This idea has grown out of a walk some APUG members and I took in June. I'm up for more.

Pontiac's Emergency Financial Manager Lou Schimmel has cut the number of trustees on the city's pension board for general retirees from 11 to five, giving his administration a majority vote.
"We're concerned about excessive fees administered by financial people -- (they're) way higher than normal," Schimmel said Wednesday.
"(There are) travel and expenses we don't think should be happening."
The board spent $81,042 spent on travel and lodging in 2011, and has spent $63,779 in the first 10 months of 2012, the emergency financial manager said.
Board members have attended conferences and seminars in cities such as New Orleans, Scottsdale, Mackinac City and San Diego, and have plans to attend conferences in Scottsdale, Honolulu, Shanty Creek and Las Vegas next year, Schimmel said.
The emergency financial manager's order to cut the trustees modifies the board to include one Pontiac City Council member; one appointee of the Pontiac City Council; the mayor; the finance director; and one mayoral appointee.
The new board's construction is parallel to that of the Police and Fire Retirement System board.
The emergency financial manager's order comes less than two weeks after the board voted against studying the possible privatization of the pension plan, or the use of its surplus funding to pay for retiree health care costs.
The pension plan has about $416 million in assets and is 153.5 percent funded, said Pontiac Finance Director John Naglick.
The city's budget is balanced, but faces an annual structural budget deficit of $6 million fueled by unfunded retiree health care obligations, Schimmel has said.
"I'm trying to do something about retaining retiree health care, and I think that's also certainly an issue, and I would like the board to at least examine ways we can possibly do something to preserve retiree health care, and that weighed in a bit as well," Schimmel said.
The privatization proposal for the pension plan is "not necessarily the No. 1 driving point here," he said.
Oakland County's travel policy is that trustees can go to conferences, but the individual trustee pays travel and lodging costs, Naglick said, and the county pays the conference registration fee.
The finance director said he intends to move for a similar policy at the pension board's next meeting.
Schimmel echoed Naglick's comments and said the City of Warren, where he worked as executive administrator before being appointed as Pontiac's emergency manager in September 2011, prohibits vendors from buying meals for trustees.
Accepting meals "could be viewed by a lot of people as influencing the board as to investment policy and hiring (investment advisers)," Naglick said.
Naglick and Schimmel said pension board members hold VISA cards in the pension board's name and charge airfare, transportation, lodging and meals.
Schimmel also alleged that some city retirees are receiving benefits based on "initial estimates, rather than final benefit calculations," and said the pension plan has about $4 million in annual administrative overhead.
The eight trustees who were removed from the board by virtue of Schimmel's order met Wednesday afternoon at the Southfield offices of Sullivan, Ward, Asher & Patton, P.C., the firm that represents the General Employees Retirement System.
"It's not a meeting of the board because they're not the board anymore," Schimmel said.
Tony Asher, the chief executive officer of the firm, addressed eight members of the previous pension board.
"On its face, unless challenged, it looks permissible," Asher said of Schimmel's order.
Asher said the situation is a "settler issue," meaning it could be taken up by the entities that appointed the trustees.
Trustees on the 11-person board were appointed by entities including the Pontiac City Council, the retirees themselves, by representatives from the former Pontiac General Hospital and by the pension board itself.
"If anybody were to take issue, it's the people who appointed the previous board prior to the (emergency financial manager) order," Asher said.
Cynthia Billings, an attorney at Sullivan, Ward, Asher & Patton, P.C., said the settlers "would have legal standing to bring an action.
"There's a question if this is really a constituted meeting," she said. "There's a question as to who are the members on the board. Under the (emergency financial manager's) order, there are no trustees here on this board."
Former Mayor Walter Moore asked Asher: "At this particular juncture, who are you working for? You worked for us last week ... you worked for us then; who are you working for right now?"
Asher said, "I can say to you confidently that we represent the board of trustees, the general board. The question between today and later (is), who are the representatives, because the (emergency financial manager) has amended the ordinance."
Moore responded: "You're going to pay for whatever position you take in the end," he said.
"There is a greater power than the (emergency financial manager), than the governor, that all of us are going to answer to. So, whatever position you take right now, I hope you're prepared to deal with that part of it."
Asher said, "Walter, we represent this board, whether it's 11-man or five-man. There's only one board. The only issue at this point, sir, is who sits on it. That's the only issue."
Mayor Leon Jukowski, Finance Director Naglick and Treasurer Sheryl Stubblefield were sworn in by City Clerk Sherikia Hawkins late Tuesday; Stubblefield is the mayor's appointee to the new board. All three served on the previous 11-member pension board.
The council could choose its representative to the board and its appointee at its Thursday meeting, Naglick said.
A pension board meeting is scheduled for 9 a.m. Friday at City Hall.

Lung Transplantation
Low platelets
My father had a double lung transplant in 2003. Just as of recent (Jan) his platelets are very low, as in down to 4000, Yesterday they had gone up to 16000 and by a few hours had went down again. He is in Critical Care again, he has blood and platelets being giving to him, his spline was taken out and it seemed to help for a few weeks. Basically we are stumped at this point, as well as the doctors at our Hospital. I dont doubt any ability of any of our doctors but I am sharing this in hopes there has been a similar case as to my fathers so that we can gain some more insight. His platelets just keep going away as fast as they are being given to him. We are asking anyone out there to shed some light and hopefully has any info. on my fathers medical mystery before it is to late.
Thank You
Most hematologic abnormalities (including low platelet counts) that are observed following lung transplantation are usually due to the side effects experienced from taking certain medications. Of course, just as in patients who have not received an organ transplant, low platelet counts can be the result of other disease processes that need to be considered. Among these are thrombotic thrombocytopenia purpura (TTP), disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC), and occult malignancies.

Hello once again! On this blog I am going to make the review of Far Cry 3. On this blogs, I give my opinion and also rate games that I've played. Sometimes I write some game previews. Be sure to check my other blogs! Oh, and since Christmas Holiday has started, I'll have some more time to write reviews, so more will be coming in the next days!
I've made a blog with my GOTY nominees, check it out here please
Far Cry 3, the long awaited 2012 game, is finally out. The previous games on the series didn't got as famous as this one. I'm going to be honest, I have never heard of the Far Cry series ever before. Not only, but also because of the lack of commercials of video games on Portugal. From what I've seen, Far Cry 3 is faaaar better than the previous ones. They made everything better. Now, do we truly have a candidate for GOTY? Let's find out!
The storyline
Far Cry 3 is set on a tropical island, located between the Indian and Pacific Ocean. Jason Brody, the main character, is on vacation with his friends but something goes wrong. Actually, this island is full of insane pirates. They all get kidnapped and he has to save his friends and escape from the island.
The gameplay
As you may have noticed, Far Cry 3 (I'm going to refer to it from now on as FC3) is a open world first person shooter, with some RPG elements. There are 3 skills trees, we're going to talk about them later. You can perform silent takedowns by perfoming melee attacks. You can also plan your attacks with silent takedowns combinations and mark your enemies so you can track their movement. And the FC3's map is 10 times larger than the ones on the previous installments.
On FC3 you have vehicles. You can fly, go across the island with gliders, ride some land vehicles and watch the fishes with boats. You can also fast travel if you're lazy. I don't recommend that, because FC3´s world is worth to appreciate its every single detail.
And one of my favorites, hunting! You have over 20 different species on FC3. Some are lovely and cute, others can be deadly. Some of them have the ability to stealth and kill you without you even noticing. The animals also interact with each other, in other words, if a tiger spots a deer, he will kill him. The animals are the chicken, crab, coral reef fishes, birds of paradise, vulture, macaque, deer, tapir, dingo, dog, cassowary, boar, buffalo, komodo dragon, leopard, tiger, asian black bear, crocodile, giant galapagos tortoise, sea turtle, moray eel, shark, manta ray, seagull, pig and snake. Here it is a video of a guy who hunted down all the animals, this video is a must watch, it's worth it, trust me!
Another cool thing is crafting. This is why you have to hunt. With this, you can carry more weapons, money, loot, ammo, syringes (for healing), etc. You have to craft first the smaller ones in order to be able to craft the bigger ones. There are also plants, you use them to craft medicines.
And last, but not least, the skill trees. They are:
The Heron - The skills in this tree allows you to move faster, to reduce the reloading time, moving to perform takedowns, you know, that kind of stuff if you want to be quick and powerful.
The Spider - The skills in this tree is for the stealth and thief style. It also increases your luck, there are skills in this tree that allows you to find more money on dead bodies and twice as many items from dead animals.
The Shark - The skills in this tree is for those who like to run and gun. The skills provide you advanced healing and you become better in combat aspects.
The multiplayer
I didn't played the multiplayer, so I have nothing to say about it and it's not going to count towards the final rating of the game.
The graphics
My first reaction was: "I think that I'm watching a movie..." This is the best thing in the whole game. Everything is beautiful. The animations are pretty realistic. If you haven't money to go to a tropical island, buy Far Cry 3 instead, it's the same thing. My eyes loved the game, and there are no words to describe the epicness in visual terms. Here it is some in-game pics.
The soundtrack
To start of, the ambient sounds are awesome! The birds, the water, they are all very good. Now, about the game music. Well, it could be waay better. The theme is good, but the rest of the songs aren't anything special.
Closing comments and final rating
Presentation - 100/100. Far Cry 3 dark storyline will definitely mark you for the rest of your life. Impressive!
Graphics - 100/100. The best aspect on this game. I would like to give it 101/100, but that wouldn't be possible for some reasons. And with no contest, the graphics on this game are the best ones ever made. A great step for the video game industry.
Sound - 86/100. The ambient sounds and all are good, but the music not so much.
Gameplay - 98/100. This game is lots of fun! Hunting, the crafting system, the challenges, the skills, the vehicles, you wil certainly want to try out everything!
Lasting appeal - 99/100. This game is arguably a candidate for GOTY. It's highly addictive, and it entered the in the list of best games of 2012.
Final rating - 96,6/100. This game is legen- wait for it - dary! Don't spend 9999999$ in summer vacations on a tropical island, spend 50-70$ instead on this game. Go and buy it right now, 'cause if you haven't it yet, you're losing one of the best gaming experiences ever!
What do you think of this review? Do you agree with the final rating? Do you like Far Cry at all? Let me know your opinion

PRIMARY pupils across the Stroud area are currently taking part in a Magistrates' Court mock trial competition.
The Magistrates' Association has been organising the event for primary schools in the Stroud area since 2000, and almost all schools in the district have taken part at one time or another.
The competition introduces the legal system to young people in an innovative and exciting way.
Taking on the roles of lawyers, witnesses, magistrates and court staff, students prosecute and defend specially written criminal cases.
The case heard this year is that of R v Darcy Grainger who is charged with theft of an iPad mini.
Teams compete against each other in a staged Magistrates' courts at Ebley House in front of real magistrates.
The standard is extremely high and last year Eastcombe Primary School took first place winning the Malcolm Reynolds JP Shield.
The final round of the competition takes place, tomorrow, Thursday and then a winner will be announced.
There are also individual prizes awarded for the best court reporter and the best court artist, which is sponsored by Stroud MP Neil Carmichael.
JP Jenny West said: "We are also very fortunate to be supported by the Stroud Police."

One of my favorite family memories is sandbagging by the St. Croix River with two of our children. It comes to mind as we enter summer and the 4th of July holiday – a holiday celebrating the sacrifice and selflessness of others.
One of the most important things a family can do together this summer is help youngsters continue this tradition. Service should be a part of summer.
One of the people who knows most about this is Minnesotan Jim Kielsmeier. Since returning from military duty in Korea, he has spent decades promoting youth leadership, service and learning. He's mentored many educators and youth workers in the U.S. and other countries. For decades, he directed the National Youth Leadership Forum, which encouraged service learning in and outside of schools.
During a recent phone call, he told me, "You teach more clearly what you do with your children than what you dictate to your children." Over the years, he's worked with his family to plant trees, plant and tend a garden that produced food that was contributed to food shelves, and work on environmental restoration.
Kielsmeier says these experiences help young people develop a "capacity to care." They help young people develop perspective on their lives and a belief that they can, and should, make a difference with other people. And often, these experiences are fun.
I remember a spring Sunday when a group of us decided to take our youngsters to help with sandbagging in Afton. The town was facing a major flood from the St. Croix River. We pulled up to the flood control headquarters with about 20 adults and youngsters. The person in charge greeted us with: "Thank God you've come. We need you badly." We spent several hours sandbagging. Our children still talk about how needed they felt and how satisfying that morning was, though it happened more than 20 years ago.
We've done other things together, like serving meals at a food shelter. We've tried to model that one of our family's values is service. We've helped others. When there was a fire at our home many years ago, people helped us. That was just one of many times when others helped us.
One of the best sources of possible service projects is the website, whatkidscando.org. At the top of the website's home page, there's a link to "Fill your summer with random acts of kindness."
For example:
– Help organize and cleanup your block or neighborhood.
– Help recent immigrants learn to speak or read English.
– Collect your family's history.
– Cut the grass or go to the store for an elderly neighbor who's not very mobile.
– Connect with a group like Habitat for Humanity and help build a house.
The possibilities are endless. And young people learn quickly that you give yourself a present when you give to others.
The What Kids Can Do website quotes noted author Maya Angelou, who recently died. She wrote, "The best part of life is not just surviving, but thriving with passion and compassion and humor and style and generosity and kindness." Summer is a great time for families to help youngsters learn how true that is.

Topic: Previous Radiation and Theraspheres
Hi all --
My husband is Stage IV...mets to lungs. He also has a lesion near porta hepatis on liver. If he has ad previous radiation therapy... Could he potentially still have theraspheres? I can't find that answer! We leave for dendritic cell therapy on April 30th. And are being treated by Dr. Chang now in NYC. COOL things happening with that. Have to go....more later. But, if you know about the spheres....pass it on? Thanks!

Overbearing mint consumed my herb garden, choking out the more polite aromatics. So, this recipe began as a search for something to do with mint. Naturally, Turkish cuisine came to mind.
I live right outside of Houston. Houston is such a diverse community with people from everywhere in the world. Americans love variety.
I was trying to think outside the box. Something healthy but tasty but with a little kick.
I first had Kefta off of a cart Cairo, and it was love at first bite!

Tribe helped, then hurt by homers vs. Royals
KANSAS CITY -- John Axford probably hoped to have regained his role as closer by now. For the past two months, he has served as a middle reliever, seemingly showing incremental signs of improvement with every trip to the mound.
But in Friday's 6-4 loss to the Royals, he issued a reminder of his early-season woes, surrendering an ill-timed pinch-hit home run to Billy Butler that sealed Cleveland's fifth defeat in six games. The Tribe has lived by the long ball throughout July, but on a hot night at Kauffman Stadium, they died by it.
"It was just a bad pitch, really," Axford said. "I just let it stay out over the plate a little too high up. It was supposed to be low and away and didn't end up there, so it ended up in the seats."
The rocket off Butler's bat -- a two-run shot that represented only the fourth home run of his troublesome season -- nearly struck the Royals Hall of Fame behind the left-field seats. It was the fifth homer of the game, which saw back-to-back shots by Kansas City in the second inning and a two-homer showing from Carlos Santana.
The consecutive shots from Salvador Perez and Mike Moustakas in the second came off right-hander Josh Tomlin, who has been hurt by home runs all season. Tomlin has yielded 16 blasts in his 15 appearances this season, creating another problem within a rotation full of inconsistencies.
"It's a problem that needs to be solved," said Tomlin, who was charged with four runs (three earned) in 5 1/3 innings. "I have to do a better job of working on it and seeing what pitches they're doing that to, and seeing what I'm doing mechanically to make those balls stay over the middle of the plate."
If Little League-style home runs counted, Kansas City had three homers on Friday night.
In the fourth, 42-year-old Raul Ibanez pulled a pitch down the right-field line for an unlikely RBI triple. On the play, the relay throw from cutoff man Jason Kipnis skipped wildly beyond third base for an error, allowing Ibanez to jog home for Kansas City's fourth run of the game.
Cleveland did what it could to counter, receiving a pair of homers from Santana, who torched Royals starter Yordano Ventura for a solo shot in the fourth and a two-run long ball in the sixth. The second homer -- giving Santana a team-high 17 for the season -- came on a 100-mph fastball.
"[Santana] can hit good pitching," manager Terry Francona said. "That guy tonight has a pretty special arm. He took some really good swings to give us a chance to get back in the game."
The Indians evened things up, 4-4, in the seventh, when catcher Yan Gomes reached on a throwing error by Moustakas at third base and later scored on a sacrifice fly from Kipnis. The comeback allowed Tomlin to walk away with a no-decision.
"For them to battle back after I put them in a hole was huge," Tomlin said. "That was my fault for putting them in a hole, and they did a good job against a pretty good pitcher to get us back in the game."
With two outs and Perez on first base in the eighth inning, the Royals called upon Butler to pinch-hit against lefty Nick Hagadone. That prompted Francona to summon Axford.
Entering the night, Axford had a 2.22 ERA with a .205 opponents' batting average in 27 games since being removed from the closer role after May 9. In 24 1/3 innings over that span, he had given up only one home run. In 11 appearances prior to Friday, he had a 0.93 ERA with 14 strikeouts, four walks and no homers in 9 2/3 innings.
"He's been throwing the ball very well," Francona said. "Tonight was about a perfect scenario. You don't have a guy on first that's a runner. [Axford] can let his stuff work. He just made a mistake in locating it."
And Butler took full advantage.
"Axford's got a good fastball," Butler said. "Coming off the bench, it's hard to lay off that first-pitch slider. You're looking for a fastball. I was seeing it pretty good -- some days you do as a pinch-hitter, some days you don't."
Butler's home run came one night after Axford surrendered a walk-off single to Nori Aoki in the 14th inning of a 2-1 loss. The past two games aside, he has kept his head up while realizing that a return to his former job might not be in the cards this season.
"I've been there before," Axford said. "At first it was obviously a hit on your pride, tough to deal with. But it's not something you don't expect when I was in the spot that I was in. You've just got to keep going through it and keep chugging along and be patient, really. That's what I've been doing.
"I've just been working as hard as I can to prepare myself, get ready to go back in that role if that time ever comes. If not, I'm just going to be as strong as I can, the best as I can, to pitch to the best of my ability and just be patient along the way."

According to The Standard, Cameron Mackintosh is looking to revive his 1992 West End flop- Moby Dick. He told the Standard: "I was dealing with someone who wants to bring Moby Dick out next year, an American producer." He added that the show is "going to open in London in a pub theatre and there's one being eyed up for Broadway in the next two years."
Click here to read the full article.
Moby Dick is a musical with a book by Robert Longden, and music and lyrics by Longden and Hereward Kaye. A mixture of high camp, music hall-style smut, and wild anachronism overflowing with double entendres, the show focuses on the anarchic and nubile girls of St. Godley's Academy for Young Ladies who, determined to save the institution from bankruptcy, decide to stage Herman Melville's classic novel in the school's swimming pool.
Having become involved with the restoration of Oxford's Old Fire Station Theatre, producer Cameron Mackintosh sought a new musical to inaugurate its re-opening. Impressed by an audio tape sent him by Longden, Mackintosh offered him £25,000 to stage what was then called Moby Dick: A Whale of a Tale. Originally an intimate piece with a cast of twelve performing with an upright piano, it became a greatly expanded version featuring a troupe of thirty and a six-piece band. The end result was a madcap romp, with veteran cabaret star Tony Monopoly playing the headmistress/Captain Ahab in drag, that immediately developed a cult following among the university students.

Zimmermann has biceps strain; All-Star spot filled
PHILADELPHIA -- Jordan Zimmermann had an MRI exam on his right arm on Saturday morning, and the results revealed a biceps strain. The test did not show anything wrong with Zimmermann's elbow or shoulder.
For now, Zimmerman will not go on the disabled list. He will be re-examined once he returns from the All-Star break on Thursday; the team is planning a practice that evening at Nationals Park.
"Given his history, yeah, that's a big relief for us," manager Matt Williams said. "The way he reacted last night, we didn't think there was an issue with the elbow or the shoulder. But we had to make sure.
"I think with the All-Star break, we can look at how he comes out of that and see. If in fact we've got to do something like [put him on the DL] after the break, we can do that. We can backdate it. But he was feeling pretty good today. So he'll go on his normal throwing program and see how he feels. And then once we determine that, we can determine whether it's something we need to look at after the break or not."
Zimmermann will not attend the All-Star Game. Instead, he will go home to Auburndale, Wis., and rest the arm during the break.
"I didn't think it was anything … serious," Zimmermann said. "The MRI came back, and it looked pretty good. A little inflammation. I'm going to give it some rest for a few days, go home, come back and start throwing on Thursday again."
Zimmermann left Friday night's game against the Phillies in the bottom of the fourth inning with a biceps cramp. It marks the second straight year in which Zimmermann was named to the All-Star team but was then sidelined with an injury.
Williams texted Cardinals manager Mike Matheny, who will manage the National League All-Star team, about the injury but did not discuss who should replace Zimmermann. By Saturday afternoon, Major League Baseball announced that Marlins right-hander Henderson Alvarez would do so. Williams did not seem to have a problem with the decision.
"He is still our representative. There is nothing you can do about guys being injured or not being able to participate," Williams said before Saturday night's 5-3 victory against the Phillies. "We had a couple of guys in the mix. Anthony [Rendon] was in there for a while [with the All-Star Final Vote]. Jordan is our representative. If all things were equal, he would be our only guy anyway.
"Disappointed? No. We have a couple of games to win [against the Phillies]. Let's see if we can do that until we get to the All-Star break."
Zimmermann is the ace of the Nationals pitching staff, going 6-5 with a 3.03 ERA in 19 starts. His teammates were relieved that the biceps injury was not serious.
"It's nice to have him back there with the break built in and not worry about the DL," Ryan Zimmerman said. "He is going to be a big part of us during the second half. Hopefully, when we get back from the All-Star break, everything will be good."
But the Nationals need more than Zimmermann to win the tight battle with the Braves in National League East, fellow rotation member Stephen Strasburg said.
"It's going to take everybody, not just the pitchers, but every guy on the 25-man roster to get this done," Strasburg said. "Recharge your batteries after tomorrow and [get] ready to play some fun baseball in the second half."

When will they ever learn, considering its the 5th massive anticipated release of an iPhone and these tech giants of billions in net worth cant seem to be able to anticipate a basic economic standard of SUPPLY & DEMAND!
One would think that after experiencing this issue year after year, someone could come up with a solution for it!!
Insane!! Just got off the phone with att support, was on for literally over 4 and a 1/2 hours......
One phone was shipped and one was backordered (even though both were ordered at the same time Friday morning at 4AM. When I called earlier this week worried about what I saw online, I was told "not to worry that both would come" and of course, only one arrived!!
Told today that it would arrive tomorrow, however it is still showing online as backordered and no shipping details. I mean REALLY? We've been doing this for three years and this is the outcome? I guess I am a little slow coming to this but att SUCKS....... They make mistakes and we have to just take it. That is NOT cool...
Thankfully there is wifi and skyp so that your first iPhone on the block also can be first to make a call As the first day of availability always goes crazy.Can wait to get a new 4S and sell it when the community gets us Siri on the iPhone "4"
Pre ordering was a mess... took me a little over two hours to get my order through, received my iPhone 4s today at 10:00 a.m. today and its now 1:52 p.m. and still trying to activate it. AT&T should be more than prepared for times like this.
For a while I was trying it plugged in through iTunes but then Apple's servers started to time out before I even got to the AT&T activation part so now I'm back to direct AT&T activation over WIFI. Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeease work soon.
This happens every release day, guys... if you want to be an early adopter, get used to it.And there are plenty of Verizon and Sprint people having trouble activating for hours too. Mashable just reported on AT&T, since they started having trouble first (given, they have more iPhone users than the other two combined).AT&T stores don't seem to be having trouble activating. Even my buddy at a non-AT&T retail location says they can activate the ones they are selling.
Poseidon79 I have been trying both ways as well.... Anyone having this problem with Verizon or Sprint?
I called up AT&T directly and activated my phone in about 2 minutes. It was around 12:30 EST, so I'm guessing I was either extremely lucky or the earlier problems yinz had were fixed. I love this new phone, but I can't wait until I jailbreak it. I miss SBsettings among other things. lol
Every new phone is the same thing all over again. Apple and the carriers know that the demand was going to be high and the tech can't keep up. Now with Sprint in the mix, that even makes things more and more busy. I was just by the Apple store today at my nearby mall, and the line was large and going around several stores. Good thing it stopped raining today. When I got my i4 last year, I waited till Day 2. I only had to wait an hour (I was 5th in line) and when the store opened up at 8:30, I was in and out in 15 mins. I can't see myself waiting all day for a phone. I like my i4, and there has to be a very compelling reason for me to get the 4s.

Nick from SonicState reviews the Alesis IODock. Basically you put your iPad into the dock and you get Microphone input (with Phantom Power), Balanced Outputs and Midi. I could use one of these.
"The iO Dock provides microphone and instrument users with two combination XLR and 1/4-inch inputs, each with its own gain control and switchable phantom power for condenser microphones. Producers can use the iO Dock's MIDI jacks to sequence external keyboards, samplers, drum machines and synthesizers, or perform using the iO Dock as the sound module and their favorite MIDI-compliant keyboard, drum pad or other controller. An assignable 1/4-inch footswitch input enables remote control of any app-defined function such as stop/start or record. – alesis.com/iodock

Undergraduate Special Education Program
Spring 2013 - Program Rating - Common Core Elementary Mathematics - Earned Score 0 stars
Teacher candidates, even those who excel in math, generally require three semesters of coursework, complemented by adequate field practice in order to progress from a procedural to a conceptual understanding of the essential mathematics topics taught in the elementary grades.
The program does not meet the standard because it requires that teacher candidates take little or no coursework designed to develop their conceptual understanding of elementary mathematics topics. It thus fails to ensure that all essential topics are adequately covered, regardless of the design of the instruction.

BEN LOMOND -- Mount Hermon residents were inadvertently left out of a yard waste pickup program in the fall, but they'll have a chance to take advantage of the free program next month.
At the Jan. 15 Board of Supervisors meeting, county leaders unanimously approved an amendment to a previously existing contract with the Monterey Bay Unified Air Pollution Control District, which operates the program, adding new dates to the schedule. The amendment adds Mount Hermon residents, and sets the next pickup event for Feb. 1-2.
In an effort to ease air pollution resulting from backyard burns, the air board launched the "Free Yard Waste Cleanup Days" series in November. Over six days, 470 residents brought 174 tons of yard waste to be chipped, ground and recycled at the Ben Lomond Transfer Station, according to Amy Clymo, supervising air quality planner with the regional air board.
The original contract called for the next event to be held on Friday-Saturday combinations in April. But the board received $26,000 in grants to operate the program on a contractual basis with the county, Clymo said, and since not as much waste was collected as expected, that left extra money to operate next month's event.
Yard waste must be generated at residences within the district's newly designated San Lorenzo Valley Smoke Sensitive Area. That includes Mount Hermon, as well as parts of Ben Lomond, Brookdale, Boulder Creek, Felton and Lompico.
Event days may be added or deleted "upon mutual agreement between district and contractor," according to a staff report.
This year's burn season runs through April 30.

I hope some of the more technically-oriented members of PD can help me out here. I've noticed the volume of many of the mp3s I've downloaded varies greatly, and this causes issues when I try to listen to them in my car CD player. That is, one song requires the volume to be high, but then the next song is way too loud.
So here's my question: is there software or other tools I could use to "even out" the volume of my mp3s so they are not so dramatically different? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Help JeffMath brain teasers require computations to solve.
Jeff likes racing his little sports car, but he knows that safety should always be kept in mind, so he practices regularly. On one particular day, Jeff goes out to the practice track and does two laps at an average of 100 km/h, two laps at an average of 102 km/h, two laps at an average of 140km/h and two laps at an average of 150 km/h. Now Jeff would like to know what his average speed was during that practice session. Can you help him?
AnswerThe answer is 119 and NOT 123. How? Well, you have probably made the fatal assumption that time is not important here in Jeff's world and yet you should know that time is important everywhere.
