Dipoto responds to Trout's agent on renewal
PHOENIX, Ariz. -- The Angels gave superstar outfielder Mike Trout a $510,000 salary for next season, representing a $20,000 jump from the Major League minimum, and his agent is not happy.
Trout's representative, Craig Landis, made it clear in an email that Trout's contract is "not the result of a negotiated compromise," adding that the salary "falls well short of a 'fair' contract and I have voiced this to the Angels throughout the process."
Under the Collective Bargaining Agreement, teams are free to assign whatever salaries they want to players in their pre-arbitration seasons -- between zero and three years of service time -- provided that it's no less than the 2013 minimum of $490,000.
To determine those salaries, the Angels use an objective system that gives a lot of weight to service time, not performance. Trout's situation is rare -- as a 21-year-old coming off being the unanimous choice for American League Rookie of the Year and the runner-up for MVP -- but the Angels still went by the book.
"Craig and Mike have a right to their opinion and we don't begrudge them their feelings," Angels general manager Jerry Dipoto said. "We love Mike. Mike's a big part of what we're doing here, obviously, now and hopefully for many years to come."
Of the 22 zero-to-three players who obtained contracts from the Angels Saturday, Trout was the only one who was "renewed," while the other 21 "agreed" to their salaries. The highest salary for those 22 was $540,000 for Mark Trumbo, who has just over two years of service time.
Within the Angels' system, $510,000 was the most a player with Trout's service time -- 1.070 years -- could make.
"We're trying to manage a group of 25 players, not one," Dipoto said, adding: "We have been as aggressive with Mike as we can be."
The Angels' decision to not make an exception for Trout is mainly due to the domino effect it can have on the rest of their other pre-arbitration players, now and in the future. They don't believe this -- or moving him from center field, for that matter -- will hinder their ability to sign him to a long-term contract.
"I don't think so," Dipoto said. "Mike's a great kid, he's wired the right way. We have every faith in his desire to be a great player. He's going to go out there and he's going to bust his tail."
Teams take different approaches with regards to how they compensate players before they're arbitration eligible, and some weigh performance and awards more heavily into the figure. In fact, the last 10 Rookie of the Year Award winners have received an average raise of more than 21 percent over the minimum.
Under the Angels' system, Trout's raise was four percent over the minimum.
"We're seeing a minimum salary that has gotten bigger and bigger, and we are seeing an average salary at the Major League level that has gotten bigger and bigger, and we're charged with managing that across the board," said Dipoto, whose payroll will be about $160 million in 2013. "With the zero-to-three and arbitration years and free agent years, at some point you have to manage the talent on the field and the economics of the game. That's what we're trying to do every day."
Landis had previously voiced his displeasure to the front office about Trout no longer being the everyday center fielder, now that Peter Bourjos will move into that role, but Trout himself has not expressed any resentment about the move, publicly or to Angels executives.
Trout wasn't scheduled to play against the Brewers at Maryvale Baseball Park on Saturday, and Landis said he would not comment further on the matter.
"As when he learned he would not be the team's primary center fielder for the upcoming season," Landis wrote, "Mike will put the disappointment behind him and focus on helping the Angels reach their goal of winning the 2013 World Series."

New York -- The International Council of Shopping Centers on Friday applauded the adoption of an amendment to the fiscal year 2014 Senate Budget Resolution. The amendment gives states the authority – if they so choose – to require online sellers to collect sales taxes just like brick-and-mortar retailers already do.
Seventy-five Senators from both parties voted for the amendment, laying the groundwork for a vote on S. 336, the Marketplace Fairness Act of 2013, later this year. The vote also sends a strong signal to Republicans and Democrats in both the House and the Senate that momentum for e-fairness legislation has been building since the end of last Congress.
ICSC has promoted sales tax fairness for over a decade, advocating that a "sale is a sale" regardless of whether the purchase takes place on Main Street, at shopping centers, over the Internet or with a smartphone.

Topic: New to Site
Hello I was diagnosed in late January 2013, and have been fighting since that time. The cancer is in my liver we found it while searching for possible kidney stones because of pain in that area of my back. The CT scan showed tumors in the liver and the MRI found possible spots in each lung, on my neck, and on my spine at the kidney level. I'm 54 years old with my wife Jennie two wonderful kids college age.
I pastor a church in northeastern Colorado and have a wonderful congregation that loves me and is helping me and so far I've been able to continue working and have only missed preaching one Sunday because I had a fever and the Doctor wanted to administer IV antibiotics.
My job as I see it now is maintaining a good attitude as I must lead my family and my congregation through this thing.

Prize Recipient
Barry Barrios
Hello, my name is Barry Barrios from Los Angeles. One academic subject I have a deep interest in is physics especially mechanics. What I like and find most interesting about mechanics is the analysis of forces in trusses and frames, and using the laws of moments.
I just can't wait to go to MIT and push myself forward to the things I like most; the science especially physics. I would like to participate in UROP at MIT. UROP is an undergraduate research program that enables a student to do scientific or mathematical research with the professors. I am planning to do one in string theory and one in sound waves or plasma fusion. In addition, I am planning to attend the Interphase program at MIT over this coming summer. The Interphase program is for minorities who are introduced to MIT's classes and can receive credit for them.

Just wanted to see if anyone else is early awaiting the final book coming this Tuesday?
I'm so pumped for this. I started my re-read a bit too late and I was on book 5 yesterday, but skimmed to book 7.
May end up skipped to the final 2 books.
I'm 100% positive this final book is going to be epic! Just hope all the prophesies are answered. There have been so many viewings and dreams of the future that I cannot remember what all has come to pass and what is still to come. But that's what make these books so great. They are worthy multiple reads. Love the complexity of this. Almost feels like you are reading 3 to 6 books at once due to the amount of characters.
I'm no pre-ordering. Just plan to go to a bookstore and grab a copy. Highly recommended for people who haven't read the series and love science fiction.

Controlling 95% of the game, and losing by 3 to the two time defending champs on their home floor is pitiful? Must be hard living up to those standards.
Just because you're offended, doesn't mean you're right. ― Ricky Gervais.
The amount of blame falling on GHill for overdribbling is interesting.
If you watch him while he is dribbling, he is looking for an alternative. He isn't looking to beat his man, or clear space, or back someone down. He's looking for a passing lane.
When the defense gets between the rest of the team on the floor and the point guard - and this even happens to Lance and CJ - no one moves to try to open a passing lane for themselves or a teammate. This was happening all game but we were hitting the leftover jumpers - it was at the end of the game, when the jumpers stopped falling, that it became glaringly obvious.
Teams know that to disrupt our offense they just have to interfere with passing lanes and we'll settle for what we can get.
That's a feature of our offense I've been unhappy with for a long time. You can't have ball movement without player movement.
A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.
Or throw in a first-round pick and flip it for a max-level point guard...
This has always been the problem with our bench especially. A lot of standing around and watching the ball handler. We don't have a lot of good ball handlers on this team so off the ball movement should be a higher priority for this team than it seems to be.
I also hate that we don't take advantage of the Heat double teams and get rid of the ball quicker. Back out and invite the double team so you pull 2 defenders away, pass to the wing and that player needs to immediately drive to the basket. Then the corner player can baseline cut or the center can slowly fade to the opposite block. When the cutter or the centers man come to double the driver, you have an open man under the basket.
Sorry I'm late to the party. Watched it from start to finish. We controlled this game, flat out. I kept telling myself though, "You watch, Miami will steal this at the end."
They did. Miami isn't a better team, but they are more seasoned, they have older guys and know how to execute down the stretch. This is the one area I think Indy needs to work on. I'm not blaming Indy for this, because in all actuality, Indy is still a young team, both age-wise, and NBA-wise, compared to Miami. What we saw was classic youth. David West is the only guy on this team with that down-the-stretch seasoning that Miami has in much more abundance than we do. We may have some experience... but we're out-classed by Miami in this one department.
This is the next step that Indy needs to take in their growth --- they need to grow and learn how to execute down the stretch and step on throats. It's a level of focus and concentration that is sort of acquired with time and experience. As of now, it's pretty obvious that in the crunch, we often get flustered and stop making plays on the offensive end, especially on the road against the league's best.
It's not the end of the world. In relative terms, like I said, we're still young. I think we've climbed the ladder in many areas --- if they can learn now how to fix this end-game execution thing that sometimes challenges them (which could happen still this year), they become that much more dangerous and then home-field advantage isn't near as important.
There are two types of quarterbacks in the league: Those whom over time, the league figures out ... and those who figure out the league.
I thought the turning point was when Paul airballed the wide open 3 he had. If he makes that, I believe they would've had the biggest lead of the night and the Heat players were already fighting over the defense, think that allowed them to relax a moment and they made a run shortly after that play.
"It's just unfortunate that we've been penalized so much this year and nothing has happened to the Pistons, the Palace or the city of Detroit," he said. "It's almost like it's always our fault. The league knows it. They should be ashamed of themselves to let the security be as lax as it is around here."
----------------- Reggie Miller
That was a memorable moment, because Paul has hit a lot of those type 3's where he has a little to long to think about it. If he makes it we would have went up by 17, I think, I believe Hill missed a wide open 3 just after that that would have done the same.
"Just look at the flowers ........ BANG"
So every play a player has to be exactly where the play was drawn up, no deviating no matter what defense dictates? So it's never a players fault? coach I threw it where you said to.
I'm not sure who's "fault" it was but your arguments through out this thread has been more about arguing than making a valid point IMO.

"Just look at the flowers ........ BANG"
Overall? they had to make every play down the stretch, get some really favorable officiating and have two of our starters play below their potential JUST TO BEAT US BY ONE BASKET on their home court so I'm very satisfied about that.
We lost to them by 3 points in Miami in a game where Wade shot 15-25 for 32 points only got to the free throw line 3 times. If he can do that 4 times against us in May/June then yeah we're going to lose to them, but he won't.
To me that is the biggest reason we lost Wade went insane.
There were several play calls after timeouts throughout the game where we ended up with nothing good. The players seemed confused a couple of those times. Maybe Miami did something different defensively that they weren't expecting. Would have liked to have seen better execution in those situations though.
I'm surprised no one's mentioned how well Lance held up defensively against Lebron. Did LeBron even score or assist in those 5 or 6 possessions? Something to look at down the line if it's needed.
I didn't think you had narrowed it down so much to just play calling and unforced turnovers. You said the way they lost was pitiful, and I take that much broader than those two examples.
And there we agree. I don't think losing by 3 to the Miami Heat on their home floor, is pitiful. I was upset last night, but this morning it's actually encouraging. It was nice to see the Pacers hang in there, even without getting much out of Heat Killer Hibbert.
Just because you're offended, doesn't mean you're right. ― Ricky Gervais.
"We've got to be very clear about this. We don't want our players hanging around with murderers," said Larry Bird, Pacers president.
And for all the complaints about the Pacers bench, I'd still take them over the Heat bench.
Just because you're offended, doesn't mean you're right. ― Ricky Gervais.
When I saw Wade was having a big game, I thought we were going to lose. Even when we were up by 15+.
When Wade plays that well, we've always had a tough time beating the Heat. The past two playoff series, Wade has struggled, only to turn it on in the final games and give the Heat the lift they needed.
Now, they barely beat the Pacers this time with Wade playing so well..not a good sign for the Heat, IMO.
Unless something drastically bad happens to this team, the Pacers should beat the Heat in a series. And there has been nothing in these two games that suggest otherwise, to me.
I'm sure this article has been posted somewhere on this forum, but I couldn't find it in the five minutes I desired to look for it. Zach Lowe weighs in on Heat-Pacers:
12 Takeaways From Miami-Indiana, Round 2
By Zach Lowe / http://www.grantland.com/blog/the-tr...ndiana-round-2
"The Pacers have coughed it up on nearly 20 percent of their possessions over the last nine games between these two, a "cover your eyes"ugly rate that would be the worst in the league by a long shot."
Lance is finally home. Whether he becomes our starting PG or he's 6th man, he's getting big minutes and he's here to stay. #llortontnia
At this point, the mental game is going to be 99% responsible for our fate against them in a series. From a physical and talent standpoint, we can certainly beat them. No question about that. So much of late playoff basketball is mental because the talent level between teams is relatively similar. The Heat have become wizards of mental toughness and understanding how to close teams out.
I haven't read all the comments here. But, in the last 2 games, I feel as though that Lance should be the one initiating the offense at the end of games. When do we start doing that, especially if he's been ballin' during the game? I feel way more comfortable with the ball in his hands than Hill's.
PG24: "Don't tell me the sky is the limit when there are footprints on the moon!"
RT @Hoya2aPacer "When I play this game I love. I play to make my teammates better. But I'm a mouther****er on defense."
The Pacers are in the Heat's head.....OMFG...I love that. Well written ( but typical grantland article with its trademark humor ) article.

Topic: my mom
My mom had a stroke this morning some time between 7:30am and 9:30am. My dad left for work a little early today and said goodbye to her at 7:30am and she was totally normal. My mom's friend, Judy, was fortunately coming over to take her to the U of M luncheon and she fortunately came a little earlier than usual, around 9:30am. She found my mom laying on the ground, unconscious. She called the ambulance, my mom was brought to U of M and by 12 noon, we had to make a decision to try a procedure that was time sensitive to try to take out the clot (a risky procedure but our only option) or we could do nothing. We decided to try the procedure and it helped a little, the doctors got one clot out but another remains. They couldn't take a second one out fast enough and the risks for another stroke were too high.
She cannot talk or move so much or respond and the next 3-5 days are still touch and go because there will be increased swelling in her brain. They also started her on heparin which is risky either way because if they do not give her a blood thinner, she will probably develop new clots and with the heparin, there's a risk of increased bleeding in her brain.

'The day after Friday's 2-1 overtime victory, some of the Sabres were still talking about the way the team rallied. "It's been happening for us the whole season," defenseman Teppo Numminen told WGR's Paul Hamilton. "We've been able to come back in the third period many times. I think that helps us mentally, believing that we can do it no matter what the situation is."'

So, I spent the last two hours glued to my graphics tablet, feverishly performing photoplasty on every permutation of humorous things I could think of. Nothing I created lived up to the masterful mix of side-splitting hilarity and technical virtuosity that you demand in a 2000th post.
I tried poking fun at you, 'shopping doughy faces & feminine visors on every freakin' thing I could find. Nothing.
I tried poking fun at myself, placing a luxurious ponytail & a horde of fawning fangirls on every freakin' thing I could find. Nothing (though a combination of the last two techniques showed a little promise).
My Little Pony? Nothing.
Insane blabbering Finns? Nothing.
I even morphed prerube onto Danny Kaye's body from 1947's "The Secret Life of Walter Mitty", but I knew even that would not pass your R. Lee Ermey-esque comedic muster.
Well, this really pissed me off. Goddammit, nobody points out Vegan Ray's shortcomings, and anyone who dares try must pay! So, abandoning my less-than-stellar Photoshop skills in lieu of my somewhat-better-than-average black hat computer skills, I decided to hack your phone & install as much malicious code as I could before you caught on & threw the thing in a lake.
Little did I know that such unseemly means would not be necessary. Upon inspection of your "Photos", I uncovered a shot that, while much more sad than funny & not requiring a pixel of editing in Photoshop, is well worthy of post #2000. Enjoy, bitches!
BTW - keltik can't read for shit.

With oil prices up, S&P raises Oman's credits ratings
The Standard & Poor's international credit ratings agency has upgraded Oman's long-term foreign currency issuer credit and senior unsecured debt ratings to triple-'B' from triple-'B'-minus, and its long-term local currency issuer credit rating on Oman to triple-'B'-plus from triple-'B'.
Explaining its decision, Standard & Poor's opinion said that, with oil prices likely to be higher than expected for the foreseeable future, budget surpluses of between 5 and 6 percent GDP could result in 2001 and about 4 percent in 2002. The surpluses projected Standard & Poor's would improve the level of the government's reserve funds, while its debt level would remain unchanged.
The agency said that it expects the Omani government to continue with the prudent fiscal policies outlined in its 2001-2005 development plan and its 2001 budget. Both were based in a conservative level of oil production of 908,000 barrels per day and an average oil price of $18 per barrel, which is considerably below its current level.
Standard & Poor's also upgraded its short-term local currency issuer credit rating on Oman to 'A-2' from 'A-3,' and affirmed its short-term foreign currency rating at 'A-3'.
Standard & Poor's added that its ratings could be upgraded even further if the Omani government improves its net asset position through privatization, increases its tax revenue base, or is able to improve employment prospects for young Omanis. – (Albawaba-MEBG)

A FAMILY of animal lovers have thanked vets who continued operating on their dog for 30 minutes in a burning building.
Firefighters ventilated the ground floor of Medivet in Eastwood so vets could finish an operation on three-year-old Alsatian Tilly as colleagues fought a fire that gutted the upstairs of the surgery last Monday.
Owner Mandy Friedberg, 50, whose family also keeps another Alsatian, a cat, ducks and chickens at their Rochford home, said: "It's beyond the call of duty.
"We really appreciate them looking after Tilly. I'm sure if she could say thank you she would."
Practice partner Rachael Buckwell was already a few minutes into the operation, which usually takes 45 minutes to an hour, when the fire, which started in a dishwasher upstairs, set off the smoke alarm.
Tilly would be at risk of infection if taken outside and the vets would have had to put her down rather than let her suffer in the fire – something Miss Buckwell, 27, did not even consider.
Vet Carla Cruz scrubbed in to speed up the op and nurse Maria Anderson stayed to help.
The vet-of-four-years said: "It was just natural instinct really. It didn't even really cross my mind to leave.
"It was just a case of get it done as quickly as possible and get her to safety."
A firefighter was posted on the door to warn them if it became unsafe and the crew brought in emergency lighting as at one point they faced switching the surgery's electricity off, but the operation went without a hitch.
Miss Buckwell said: "The fire brigade were fantastic. They did everything they possibly could so they didn't have to interrupt us."
Mrs Friedberg's son, Will Shelmerdine, 19, saw the breaking news of the fire on the Echo website and, knowing Tilly was being spayed at the surgery, called his mother in a panic.
Mrs Friedberg could not reach the surgery but Medivet's head office reassured them Tilly was safe and they picked her up from the chain's Hockley surgery later.
The family were unaware of the modest vets' heroic efforts until the Echo got in touch.
Mrs Friedberg said: "If she had died I would have been devastated. She was a Christmas present. She's massively important to the family."

This is the hole. The red rectangle at the bottom is the teepad, the red X at the top is the basket. The black circle is a bunch of concrete slabs laying on the ground and standing up. Most are laying down, making them only about 2ft high, but 2 of them are standing upright making them aprox 8ft high. If you land behind them it's a pain to get out.
This is of the shot that I took. All the same as above, and the black line is the shot. It was an air roller, it touched down in the road and rolled up the road and came to rest in the bottom corner of the grass. Completely surrounded by in bounds grass on all sides as well as sitting on grass.
It's not the shot that I normally take, but it just looked interesting and I figured that there was no harm in trying..well I didn't expect that kind of a response from the group.
In case it's needed there is this as well
PDGA Rule: 803.09 Out of Bounds
A. A disc shall be considered out-of-bounds only when it comes to rest and it is clearly and completely surrounded by the out-of-bounds area. A disc thrown in water shall be deemed to be at rest once it is floating or is moving only by the action of the water or the wind on the water. See section 803.03 F. The out-of-bounds line itself is considered out-of-bounds. In order to consider the disc as out-of-bounds, there must be reasonable evidence that the disc came to rest within the out-of-bounds area. In the absence of such evidence, the disc will be considered lost and the player will proceed according to rule 803.11B.
B. A player whose disc is considered out-of-bounds shall receive one penalty throw. The player may elect to play the next shot from:
(1) The previous lie as evidenced by the marker disc or, if the marker disc has been moved from an approximate lie, as agreed to by the majority of the group or an official; or (2) A lie that is up to one meter away from and perpendicular to the point where the disc last crossed into out-of-bounds, as determined by a majority of the group or an official. This holds true even if the direction takes the lie closer to the hole; or
(3) Within the designated Drop Zone, if provided. These options may be limited by the tournament director as a special condition (see 804.01).
C. The Rule of Verticality. The out-of-bounds line represents a vertical plane. Where a player's lie is marked from a particular point within one meter of the out-of-bounds line pursuant to the rules, the one-meter relief may be taken from the particular point upward or downward along the vertical plane.
D. If the in-bounds status of a disc is uncertain, either a majority of the group or an official shall make the determination. If the thrower moves the disc before a determination has been made, the disc shall be considered out-of-bounds, and he or she shall proceed in accordance with 803.09 B counting all throws made prior to the determination of the in-bounds status of the original lie. If a player other than the thrower moves the disc before a determination has been made, the disc shall be considered in-bounds, and play for the thrower and the mover of the disc shall proceed under the rules of interference, 803.07 B and C.

Live chat: Have questions for Roberta Walker? Or Erin Brockovich? Chat with them both at 11 a.m. Tuesday, July 16, 2013
Call her suspicious. Call her a sleuth.
It was Roberta Walker who put Hinkley on the map.
When out of nowhere, Pacific Gas & Electric Co. officials wanted to buy her house in the early 1990s, Walker remembered thinking, "We didn't want to sell and we were happy. We wanted to be there."
After turning down several increasingly higher offers, Walker and her husband decided to come up with a price -- $250,000 -- that PG&E would "walk away from and probably never come back."
At first, PG&E officials said no and went away. But they came back and accepted the price.
"Then a bulldozer hit me on the head ... Something isn't right. There must be something fishy going on here," she said.
"I knew that something was wrong with the water and I knew it was chromium, and I thought it was chromium-3 ... you know, too much of a good thing. But when I found out it was chromium-6, I started making copies of water reports."
Walker said she called 150 attorneys across the state and none wanted to take on PG&E.
Through a connection at a high school reunion, Walker was able to get a partner with the Los Angeles law firm of Masry & Vititoe to look at her box of information.
The result was that legal assistant Erin Brockovich was sent to Hinkley "to see what's going on."

Better to Leave Off Ill-Fitting Retainer?
I apologize, this is a follow up, as I`m unsure of how to get a quick clarification.
"I have not worn my retainer for 7 months. I wore it previously on and off for about 4 years. The longest I had it off then was 3 months before I started wearing it regularly again.
However, now, I can get it to fit, but not perfectly. It feels like there`s a "space" in my mouth on the roof, like it`s not going up all the way. It used to fit unevenly, too, with the left side going in higher than the right. It`s been in now for about 30 minutes and after 20 I noticed I can push the right up a little more. It hurts!
I don`t mind the pain (well, I do, but...) but cannot afford to get another mold for a new retainer. Will it eventually fit right if I wear it long enough? Or is it worse for my teeth if I try to wear it and it doesn`t fit right - as in it won`t shift back close to where it was?
Thank you!"
You said I need a new mold or an adjustment from an orthodontist, but I will not be able to have that done for at least a few months. In the meantime, would it be better to leave on the half-fitting retainer, or to take it out? With the prior on-and-off wearing I was always able to fit it in fully to go with my prior adjustment, but this is the first time it`s never been able to fit like it used to.
Thank you for your time and help.
You can try that as long as you don't encounter pain beyond what you had when the teeth were being adjusted.

Government & Politics
Maddow Examines Breakdown of Democracy in War
The dedication in political talk show host Rachel Maddow's new book, Drift: The Unmooring of American Military Power, reads like this:
"To former vice president Dick Cheney. Oh, please let me interview you."
Cheney, Maddow said during her book talk Sunday at American University, stands as an example of the democratic process falling by the wayside when it comes to war.
For years, Maddow, an outspoken liberal and former activist, has tried to get answers from Cheney about his involvement in the changing face of American military power, but has been never gotten close to the former politician, or anyone in his family.
"I went to [the Conservative Political Action Conference] just to get Cheney to talk to me," she joked.
Maddow's afternoon talk was sponsored by the Kennedy Political Union, AU's student-run political lecture series. She is the fourth speaker KPU has brought to campus this semester. Former senator Olympia Snowe, reproductive rights activist Sandra Fluke, and senior political advisor David Axelrod also visited campus this year.
Maddow, dressed casually in sneakers, dark jeans, and a blazer, easily connected with the large crowd. All audience members received a copy of her book.
After KPU Director Alex Kreger introduced Maddow, the MSNBC host offered a peek into her book, noting that both sides of the political aisle are responsible for the breakdown of democracy when waging certain wars. She pointed to current events like the Obama administration's use of drones in Afghanistan and Pakistan.
"One way to make it easier to wage war is to do it secretly," she said. "It's easier to go to war if you send private companies instead of soldiers."
Maddow then spoke about how war is funded in this country and how advertising and other media obfuscates the real impact of conflict. The American people can't see how the war machine operates and thus can't push back against it, she said.
Despite her assertion that the legislative impediments for the U.S. going to war have "unraveled," Maddow ended her talk on a note of hope.
"I think we can fix it. And we ought to," she said.
Then she opened the floor to pre-selected questions from the audience. She spoke at length about her work as an AIDS activist and how she transitioned into broadcast.
She was working at a bed and breakfast in western Massachusetts when on a whim she took a job as a sidekick on a local morning radio show. That led to her own show and eventually her post at the now-defunct Air America.
Maddow admitted that she felt wistful for radio, despite her success on MSNBC, because of the intimacy of the medium.
"I miss radio in the sense that I miss not having to wear makeup and I miss that on radio you are speaking into someone's ear," she said.
The event ended with Maddow offering encouragement to the students in the audience. She entreated them to go into public service despite any discouragement they might experience.
"Oh please, run for something." Maddow said. "I really want people who feel earnest about public service not to be discouraged by the creeps who have gone before you."

Now with added FUNK!
So we finally got around to filming some throws after we started working on our forms in January. I've gone from averaging 275' and maxing at 330' to averaging around 360-380' (with my max D discs) and maxing at around 400'. Turso's gone from... Well, 0 since he hasn't really thrown at all before to averaging a tad longer and maxing out at 410' (longest being 430'). (Filmed at 210 fps with a Casio EX-FH20).
Me: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KxV8Qg-Nrcc
Wow. I never noticed how high my pull line ends, so that's why I'm not getting much nose down. Well, the disc is on line with the pull so if I can lower that somewhat it should work out better. I'm also not keeping too tight to my chest, at least not to my right pec. I'm clearly shooting from my left pec. Well, at least I'm releasing the disc in front of me. I also noticed I was rushing a bit when the camera was rolling, I'm usually a bit smoother. Any critique is welcome, though I'm not going to be able to work on my form in at least a week. I've got a competition coming up and I don't think I should touch anything before it. =)
turso: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hXoE-IlXpBQ
Message from turso: I felt my form was off from its normal level since I've been having pain on my lower right hamstring area, none of the shots felt good to me, but I'd surmise it's not too far off to critique it. I've suspected my pivot isn't good, and this video seems to prove it, any other things you notice, please say so.
This thread is for the both of us so fire away!
EDIT: Here're the same throws at "Something"x and 4/7x. Was supposed to be 1x but my editing program must have spazzed, it looks sped up. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Bq08D5kg6U

Limoncello is a bit more expensive than a bottle of wine.... Maybe $10-15ish. You can use it for all sorts of mixed drinks tho! I havent had a chance to try the new Moscato varieties but I'm on the lookout for 'em now.... thanks for the drink recipe :)
Sutter Home Summer Cocktails
Sutter Home wines are delicious on their own, but sometimes the occasion calls for something shaken or stirred. We're welcoming Sutter Home Bubbly Moscato to the world with a fun summer cocktail!
Sutter Home Bubbly Moscato Summer Celebration Cocktail
- 3 ounces Sutter Home Bubbly Moscato
- 1 ounce limoncello
- 1/2 ounce rose syrup
Pour Bubbly Moscato into a champagne flute. Gently add limoncello, then slowly pour in rose syrup, which will sink to the bottom of the glass creating a beautiful layered effect.
Do you have a fun Sutter Home wine cocktail recipe? Share it with us!
I've never heard of limoncello rose syrup. Where do you buy these? Sounds elegant!
@Roberta - Thanks for commenting! Limoncello is sold premade in most liquor sections of stores. You can also make it but it takes a while. Rose syrup can be found in most grocery stores as well but we saw it on Amazon as well. If you make the cocktail, let us know what you think!
Thank you Megan very much for responding so quickly. The next time I go to grocery stors I'm gonna search it out. If it is priced reasonably as your wine always is I may try it!

Smoak putting together strong stretch
CLEVELAND -- While he didn't hit his second home run of the season until the ninth inning of Saturday's 5-4 loss to the Indians, Mariners first baseman Justin Smoak has quietly been putting together a strong three-week stretch that has lifted his batting average to .254.
Going into Sunday's game, Smoak had reached base safely in 12 straight starts and is hitting .328 (20-for-61) over the past 19 games with a .992 OPS.
The 26-year-old from South Carolina has been seeing the ball better this season, waiting for his pitches, and is tied for seventh in the American League with 24 walks. The only thing missing for Smoak has been power, and he figures that will follow if he continues swinging well and being selective.
"I've been squaring balls up," Smoak said. "I've hit a couple doubles. The homers will come. In the past, I've got too pull-happy trying to be a homer guy. It's not good for me, as we've seen in the past. I'm just trying to get good at-bats -- hit the ball where it's pitched. It's a long season. Good things will happen."
Manager Eric Wedge said Smoak is following a natural progression that will pay off for him in the long run this year.
"I feel like Smoak and [Dustin] Ackley have been getting their hits, but now with Justin, he's starting to create a little more damage. He had the double the other way and the home run. That's what he's capable of doing. But he's been getting on base. He's had long at-bats. Those have all been good things to see.
"You have to hit first, and then if there is power in there, it'll come in time. But you can't shortcut the process and try to get there without having the other because you'll come up empty. He's done a good job with that."
