Despite swelling, Romero should make next start
TORONTO -- Ricky Romero left Friday's game against the Mariners early after being struck by a ball on the forearm of his throwing arm in the fourth inning against the Mariners. The Blue Jays' left-hander did finish the frame, but did not come out to start the fifth.
"It's a little stiff right now," Romero said after Friday's contest. "It hit me in a really good spot. It got a little swollen. Hopefully, it's just a little minor contusion, and we'll be able to play catch tomorrow."
Despite sporting a bandage on his left arm after the game, X-ray results were negative. However, Romero did have visible swelling on his forearm Saturday morning.
The 28-year-old, however, was able to throw on Saturday with the swelling, and should be fine to make his next scheduled start at Tampa Bay on Wednesday.
That, however, puts Toronto in a unique situation. Not only would the Blue Jays be carrying three left-handed starters in their rotation, they would all be pitching on consecutive days.
Despite this unusual circumstance, there is no plan for Gibbons to alter his rotation. The Blue Jays do have an off-day on May 13, and that will likely be the first opportunity for Toronto to switch up its starters if Gibbons feels it's warranted.

Hi everybody!
I recently started learning the Prolog Language in my college. I really like it, but there are some things our teacher hasn't explained to us. Actually, he told us to find out how this exercise could be done (I must say my knowledge in Prolog is very poor )
"A student of System Engineering has forgotten his class schedule. However, he can remember a few things about it: -The name of his teachers: Mary, Jesus, Phil. -The name of the courses: Logic, Programming, Maths. -The class days: Monday, Wednesday,Thursday
And some other things: -Programming class, taught by Mary, is after the Logic class -Phil does not like to work on Monday, and Monday is a day that Logic is not taught -He also knows that each teacher teaches a single course and classes are held on different days
Would you help this stupid student relate each teacher with their subject and the weekday class it is taught? First answer: (NO, I DONT WANT TO HELP THIS MF)
Second answer: WOULD YOU HELP ME TO HELP THIS GUY??"
Haha, well, I dont want to make this post too long, but here I'll post the things I tried, but without any result

Usher Kicks Off the 2012 American Music Awards With a Climatic Performance
R&B superstar Usher kicked off the 40th annual American Music Awards on Sunday (Nov. 18) with an energetic performance of three songs from his latest album 'Looking 4 Myself.'
Dressed in all black with red boots, the crooner first performed 'Numb,' his electro-pop song behind an array of laser beams. He then jumped off a platform and landed on a treadmill to sing 'Climax,' his chart-topping ballad of 2012.
While performing his No. 1 hit, Usher was walking in place on the moving track before he started running faster and faster. We knew he was singing live because he could barely catch his breath before segueing into his next sizzling performance of 'Can't Stop Won't Stop.'
Behind a chorus line of female dancers, Usher showed off his impressive footwork which included some pop-locking moves and some two-stepping. Although we are a little disappointed that he didn't perform 'Scream,' another big hit from 'Looking 4 Myself,' we are happy that he could bring us to 'Climax' so early into the show. Bravo, Usher!

Ukiah Daily Journal
Authorities quickly controlled a small vegetation fire that ignited along Highway 101 near Plant Road, south of Ukiah, and spread east toward several homes at about 4:30 p.m. Thursday.
The fire burned about half an acre and jumped the railroad tracks, where firefighters with the combined city of Ukiah Fire Department and Ukiah Valley Fire District and Cal Fire stopped it before it reached the homes, according to Capt. John Strangio.
Responders had the blaze under control at about 5 p.m., and the flames were doused by 6:50 p.m., according to Strangio, who added that firefighters would check the area again Thursday night as a precaution.
The cause of the fire was unknown, he said.

Product Review (submitted on August 12, 2012):
I read this book hoping to find some serious facts of the origin and the brewing of the kombucha culture, instead this book left me with a disappointing feeling. The author didn't really research the subject to find its origins and real use in ancient times. He only told me people's vague accounts of what they suppose it does. It almost felt like he was mocking people that are conscious and want to stay away from Walmart's processed white sugar and non organic "Orange Peeko.......... tea". There are so many recipes that you can do and combinations that I never heard. Herbal teas can also be used to enhance their healing properties. But I learned how many thousand of names he could find that people have given it. Not much of a "rediscovery". Absolutely no substance and no valid information in it.

World War 2: The Office of War Information's pictures of women working on aircraft
Share this:
WORLD WAR 2 did much to emancipate women. These photographs from 1940-1943 show women working in California's aircraft industry. They worked on the B-17F bomber at the Douglas Aircraft Company, Long Beach, and on the P-51 fighter and C-47 heavy transporter at North American Aviation's Inglewood factory. They worked at the Consolidated Aircraft factory in Fort Worth, Texas. They worked at the Heil and Co. factory in Milwaukee on blackout lamps to be used on Air Force gasoline trailers. They worked on Wright Whirlwind motors at the Corpus Christi, Texas, Naval Air Base. The men from the Office of War Information took photos. They were stylised portraits. The women were all white. Their faces were made-up. Eyes were focused. No-one looked at the camera. It was propaganda, of course. No women flew these aircraft in combat. Change comes slowly…

A CARE home resident sank her teeth into a staff member, broke glass and a table and threatened to burn the place down, a court was told.
Burnley magistrates heard how Emma Louise Jones, 23, attacked Jill Thacker, a senior support worker at Gorse Hill Residential Care Home in the town and caused £220 damage. Staff had had to call police because of her unpredictable behaviour, last December 27.
Jones, of Stephenson Drive, Burnley, admitted assault by beating and damage.
At the time, she had been subject to a conditional discharge for punching a staff member at a previous home. The defendant was given a 28 day curfew, seven days a week, from 10pm to 7am. She must pay £60 compensation.
Alex Mann, prosecuting, said the home was for adults with learning disabilities. Jones was said to have very slight learning difficulties, but also suffered from depression. She had been at the home for a year.
Catherine Fell, for Jones, said: "She was angry with staff on that day."

A Peek at the Fashion Spreads Inside W's September 2010 Issue
A Peek at the Fashion Spreads Inside W's September 2010 Issue
>> W's publisher Nina Lawrence introduced the latest iteration of the magazine — under Stefano Tonchi's guidance — as one with more international slant, a magazine "younger and more sophisticated as far as voice."
In addition to a plethora of ads — Tonchi has to prove he can sell the magazine, after all — the issue includes a closeup of Lindsey Wixson's lips; a story exploring designers suddenly liking curves, because, according to Tonchi "it is not really true — [the designers] just love women with breasts"; a spread with Georgia May Jagger; a portfolio Tim Walker submitted of young people from his neighborhood in East London; and a profile of Riccardo Tisci.
The issue hits newsstands nationally on Aug. 24, and the magazine's website is getting a "facelift" the first week of September. Because the magazine is procured with a global outlook, there are no international editions in its future, a la Vogue, according to Lawrence, but there could be regional sections for Italy, France, and the like (assuming all goes well).
Tonchi said the October cover was shot last Saturday, but no further hints were given . . . although Lynn Hirschberg, who has a hand in the cover choices, according to Lawrence, did say that they are trying to get away from the uniformity and sameness of cover choices — "although we may end up in that arena [eventually], it's nice to be in the newness, to register in a different way [for now]."

"We'd like to see those funds used for things that really attract long-term residents and visitors to our city," said Visit Fort Wayne board member Gary Shearer. "To use that capital for filling budget holes would be to squander that money."
Tuesday was the public hearing on Mayor Tom Henry's proposed 2013 budget, which would raise taxes on most property owners by about 6 percent to fill a $6 million gap in the spending plan.
At least three council Republicans have suggested that the city might use some of the Legacy fund to avoid the tax increase. The only other options would be to cut several million dollars from the budget or tap the city's dwindling savings.
Each of the speakers who approached the council table Tuesday argued that the Legacy money ought to go toward what they called "transformative" projects that would make Fort Wayne more attractive, boost property values and bring higher-paying jobs.
While none of the speakers gave specific ideas for the money, most pointed toward Parkview Field – the city's $30 million tax-funded baseball stadium – as a good example.
"I do think the Legacy money is extremely important because it's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity," said Mick McCollum, interim president of the Alliance.
One thing none of the speakers offered: Advice on how to balance the budget. And only one acknowledged that the proposed tax increase would likely hit lower-income people hardest, as many of the city's wealthier homeowners have already hit the 1 percent property tax cap in the state constitution.
"It's not that we want to spend Legacy money," said Councilman John Crawford, R-at large, a leading opponent of the tax increase. "It's do you want to spend Legacy money or do you want to raise taxes."
Chamber board Chairman Michael Christman – also CEO of Fort Wayne Newspapers and publisher of The News-Sentinel – acknowledged council was in a difficult position.
"The Chamber would not like to see taxes raised," he said. "Obviously, you guys have issues you need to decide on."

When park officials sealed a military bunker in the Marin Headlands near Hawk Hill years ago, they used iron plates and iron bars. But on Sunday, a teenager foiled the plan to protect visitors from themselves, broke into a ventilation shaft and fell 35 feet onto the concrete floor.
Amazingly, the 16-year-old walked out with only a broken arm.
"He was lucky. We were surprised it wasn't worse," said paramedic/engineer Larry Yoell of the Southern Marin Fire Protection District, one of the first on the scene. "If it had been me, it would have killed me."
Apparently, the 16-year-old and four friends were trying to get into the bunker near Conzelman Road via the shaft, said Howard Levitt, a spokesman for the Golden Gate National Recreation Area. Firefighters from Southern Marin Fire and Marin County Fire responded to a call around 10:30 a.m. Sunday, cut their way into the bunker and rescued the youth.
The teenager's problems aren't over yet.
"This is not a fun little teenage prank," Levitt said. "This could have cost someone their life." Levitt said the recreation area's law enforcement officers are considering what charges might apply.
"The charges that would be considered include disorderly conduct, which involves creating hazardous situations," Levitt said, "destruction of government property — the kids had to saw through a couple of steel bars that were preventing access; trespassing is another charge."
If the agency does press charges, the youth and his associates would be in juvenile court, Levitt said.
He said his agency hasn't decided yet how to proceed. He added, "If people are interested in seeing what the inside of a bunker looks like, they can see a twin version on weekends at (nearby) Battery Townsley. It has been restored and docents lead tours there."
The concrete catacomb the boy entered once held guns that could fire shells weighing as much as a Volkswagen. The off-limits fortification, known as "Battery Construction 129," stood in defense of the Golden Gate and San Francisco Bay harbors during World War II.
The Golden Gate National Recreation Area took over the property in the 1970s and closed off the access points in 2011 to keep people out, for exactly the reasons demonstrated Sunday.
"We think five kids were there," Levitt said. "One of the kids called 911 when his friend fell down the shaft. The other three took off."
Yoell said rescuers "had the option of going down the shaft to get him, which obviously is more dangerous."
Instead, rangers took the rescuers to a large metal door on the side of the bunker.
"We used our radial saws with the steel blades to cut through some small metal plates they (the recreation area) used to seal it, and went in that way," Yoell said.
"We sent in two rescuers with self-contained breathing apparatus and oxygen monitors. We attached them to rescue ropes," the paramedic said.
"They went in, searched for the guy and made voice contact with him. They found him with minor injuries and were able to walk him out," Yoell said.
"It was under control by 11:12 a.m.," Yoell said. "He (the teenager) was down there about 45 minutes."
The teenager had a broken arm, cuts and bruises, according to fire Capt. Josh McHugh of Southern Marin Fire. Paramedics took him to Marin General Hospital.
On Monday, Yoell was still shaking his head over the teen's exploits.
"He could have been hurt a lot worse," the paramedic said. "It's amazing what these kids can get put through and still survive."

PROSPECTS ARE BRIGHTENING that the Sonoma-Marin Area Rail Transit District will honor its promise to Marin voters by running trains all the way to Larkspur Landing.
After the ballot issue achieved a 70 percent super-majority, SMART's then-general manger Lillian Hames disclosed that sales tax projections were too high and construction estimates too low. To compensate for the funding shortfall, the line's terminals were cut back — in the south, from Larkspur to downtown San Rafael.
After that debacle confirmed that some objections raised by SMART's opponents were valid, Hames' tenure was short. She was replaced by Farhad Mansourian, a first-class construction engineer and Marin's former public works director.
If Mansourian can get SMART back on track and deliver the train to Larkspur, he'll be transit's miracle man.
SMART's board just took a key step toward that goal by applying for a $2.5 million federal grant for essential environmental review and detailed engineering work to complete the 2.2-mile San Rafael-Larkspur gap.
Since the right-of-way is mostly graded and the $25 million Cal Park Hill tunnel finished, the project is doable. One major dilemma is money needed by the city of San Rafael to complete Andersen Drive's safe passage across SMART's tracks.
In 1997, the Mission City promised to fund this multimillion-dollar crossing to gain state approval for building its Andersen extension. The city doesn't have the cash.
Why not use for Andersen Drive's crossing some of the $143 million now proposed to be squandered on the controversial Highway 101-Greenbrae-Corte Madera freeway scheme?
While they are at it, SMART should collaborate with Larkspur on its new SMART Station Area Plan. It suggests both new housing and, in the long term, running the train directly into the ferry terminal.
LAST WEEK, I reported about the ongoing war between New York's Westchester County and the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. It's centered on a voluntary compliance agreement that Westchester's prior and now-defeated county executive inked after HUD filed suit, claiming the county's zoning practices were racially discriminatory.
The column referenced concerns that Marin could be the "next Westchester" to face a similar "enforcement" action. Some claim that HUD's strategy is an attempt to effectively federalize local zoning to meet its social goals.
To understand the linkage, go back to Nov. 29, 2010. On that afternoon, Judy Arnold, in her capacity as president of Marin's Board of Supervisors, appeared at the IJ editorial board to first inform the paper that within 24 hours county supervisors intended to sign their own voluntary compliance agreement with HUD.
It's likely that Marin brought HUD's attention on itself for failure to adhere to HUD's then-reasonable guidelines to "affirmatively promote fair housing."
Eager to get the issue behind them, Marin supervisors, with the bare minimum legal notice, unanimously approved the settlement agreement with HUD.
Officially, HUD's San Francisco regional office says such concerns over mandated zoning changes are premature.
Like Westchester, the county is currently working with HUD to complete an "Analysis of Impediments" of those issues, including residential zoning that might obstruct HUD's demands that Marin and its 11 cities "affirmatively" pursue the agency's new and far more aggressive definition of "fair housing."
Readers should form their own conclusions by reading details of the Marin-HUD compliance agreement. It's at www.hud.gov/offices/fheo/library/10-Marin-VCA-final-12-21-2010.PDF

Who do you want from their roster next Summer if they blow it up? Outside of Melo, who'll most likely go to L.A. (Lakers) or Chicago. Or maybe Brooklyn? I think Shumpert would be awesome here. Also maybe Beno Udrih.

Who do you want from their roster next Summer if they blow it up? Outside of Melo, who'll most likely go to L.A. (Lakers) or Chicago. Or maybe Brooklyn? I think Shumpert would be awesome here. Also maybe Beno Udrih.
I liked Shumpert in the playoffs, but he has been weird this season.
I think our team would help his mentality, so he could be a steal, but still a wildcard.
He's weird because he hasn't really played in a long time. He played like 5 games in the playoffs against Indy? Guy hasn't played a full season since that playoffs series vs Miami when Amar'e punched the fire extinguisher. I think he needs time.
Shumpert is a great defender and probably a great fit. Just dunno if he is in our price range.
I hate that Myth he really is not. He is so undisciplined and bad fundamentals(off the ball he is awful). He has defensive potential, but in no way is he "a great defender".
I doubt we are a match for a Shumpert trade regardless.
Yeah not much cap flexibility here..
Great is a stretch ans I know he isn't there, but he is certainly a GOOD defender
I want nobody from the Knicks. We need to pay our guys first, particularly Lance.
Forgive me for not being overly excited about the prospect of taking on Knick rejects. If the putrid Knicks don't view a player as being worthy of keeping, then why would we want them on the Pacers?
We're already paying $3 million for a Knick castaway (Cope is living on Easy St.) who is contributing next to nothing. That's $3 million too much.
Here are a couple of Knicks I'd love to see in a Pacer uniform:
Outside of those guys, I can't think of anyone else.
JR Smith coming off the bench...we still dont have a scorer off the bench that we can count on. Scola is getting there but isnt quite there yet
"So, which one of you guys is going to come in second?" - Larry Bird before the 3 point contest. He won.
No. He sucks. Tim Hardaway JR is more efficient this year.
Shumpert can't shoot. I would take OJ over him. Beno can't play defense. I'd take Sloan over him. There is not one player outside of a healthy Tyson Chandler (on the cheap) that I want.
Cue Michael Scott gif...
Hardaway Jr would be nice to have, I would really like to know why the Pacers decided to pass on him, he is going to be nice.
@WhatTheFFacts: Studies show that sarcasm enhances the ability of the human mind to solve complex problems!
I really wanted the Pacers to draft Hardaway Jr.
Yeah, I forgot about Hardaway Jr. when I made my above post. I would have rather had him too. Plus it would have been cool to see him follow in his father's footsteps by playing for the Pacers.
With all due respect, I can't believe you actually wrote those words. I'd rather reactivate Billy Keller.
Kenyon Martin for backup center
Being unable to close out a game in which you have a comfortable lead in the 4th Q = Pulling a Frank Vogel
I'd agree we should get JR....
IF, we didn't see him vanish in the post-season last playoff, and also...he has had 2 knee surgeries now. I don't think he's done, but he is not what we need for sure.
You can count on JR Smith?
The Knicks have 2 of my least favorite players in the nba in JR Smith and Martin. No way Larry would ever bring in Smith. I just want to see this team return with as few changes as possible next year.
Players like JR Smith are not conducive to winning championships.
Follow me on Twitter! https://twitter.com/Hookjaw_Rox
To shoot.
I'd rather have Chris Smith.
Yeah this is turning into a dump on JR Smith/the Knicks thread.

Last year, Jim Specht and Patricio Grassini, University of Nebraska agronomists, well documented that, on average, Nebraska farmers plant soybeans two weeks earlier than they did in 1980. In 1980, half the soybean crop was planted by May 25; in 2012, half the crop was planted by May 11. This trend to earlier planting is likely due to a number of factors, including:
- larger farm sizes that require an earlier start to planting to manage the volume of work;
- increased use of herbicides which has allowed for more reduced tillage systems;
- improved cold tolerance of soybean varieties coupled with seed treatments and climate change — soils warm up earlier than they used to (Pathak et al., 2012, see Figure 2),
- improved planters that allow planting in more diverse situations, and
- underlying all of this is education from UNL research and extension faculty that planting soybeans earlier improves yield potential. Soybean farmers listened and planted earlier.
Impacts of Earlier Soybean Planting
Early soybean planting results in:
- Plants reach V1 earlier in the season resulting in earlier flowering date (R1 growth stage) and potentially a longer growing season. Earlier R1, in turn, increases the length of the seed-fill period. Temperatures drive germination and seedling emergence until the V1 growth stage, i.e., when the first trifoliate has unrolled to the point where the leaflet edges are no longer touching.
- Slower emergence in comparison to later-planted soybeans. Cooler soil temperatures slow hypocotyl elongation; however, this delay is not detrimental to productivity if plant populations aren't reduced to less than 90,000 plants per acre (see Rees, 2012). The most rapid emergence occurs with soil temperatures between 77°F and 95°F.
- More nodes per plant. When plants reach V1 earlier, they accrue more nodes during the growing season resulting in more potential pods and seeds per unit area. After V1, Nebraska research data clearly shows that nodes accrue at about 0.27 nodes per day, or, saying it another way, it takes 3.7 days to produce a new node. Internode elongation is dependent on temperature; in contrast, node accrual is time dependent. Late-planted soybeans accrue fewer nodes than early-planted soybeans. Internode elongation slows after R3 — beginning pod — and effectively ceases at R5 as seed fill begins. Nodes continue to accrue until R5. Although drought stress does not affect the rate of node accrual, it does result in reaching R5 earlier, reducing node numbers and yield.
- Quicker canopy closure with earlier planting captures light earlier and, over the entire season, ensures full interception of solar radiation during the key stages for yield determination (pod set and seed fill). More light "harvested" results in an opportunity to achieve greater yield.
- Greater crop transpiration and less soil evaporation. Yield is linearly related to total transpiration. Early canopy closure reduces weed competition and evaporation from the soil surface and ensures more water available for crop transpiration.
- Similar yields regardless of row spacing. However, narrow rows may be of some advantage with very late planting - late May early June.
- Yield increases of 1/4 to 5/8 bushels per day for each day planting is moved closer to May 1 (Figure 1).
- Early-planted soybean attract early-emerging, overwintered bean leaf beetles (BLB). Although some leaflet feeding may occur, the major concern is that BLB transmit Bean Pod Mosaic Virus.
- Early-planted soybean may require a longer time to emerge than late-planted soybeans, depending on soil temperature and soil moisture. Dry soils at planting are not conducive to germination.
- Water deficits later in the growing season inhibit growth and yield regardless of planting date.
- The extent of tillage and amount of residue cover affect soil temperatures. Although soil temperatures during the day don't vary as much with no-till as they do with other tillage systems, early-season soil temperatures are cooler with no-till. Lower temperatures slow the germination process and thus lengthen the time to V1, potentially reducing yield.
- For the first 48 hours after planting both corn and soybean need soil temperatures near 50°F to avoid chilling injury during the rapid water imbibition stage. After the first 48 hours, these crops usually have minimal problems continuing the germination process at soil temperatures well-below 50°F — assuming temperatures remain above freezing; germination will be slower, of course, but if a seed fungicide treatment was applied, there should have be no concerns about loss of germinating seedlings. Monitor your field's soil temperatures on the days preceding planting and on the day of planting plus your forecast temperatures for your area for the next 48 hours to estimate the likelihood of stable or increasing soil temperatures.

As Halo 4 approaches, take a look back at the figures that started it all...
To insure your action figure collection, get in touch with Collectibles Insurance, the official insurance company of the Figures.com network. Say "Figures.com" to get 5% off your first term premiums.
To buy action figures, take a look at BigBadToyStore.com, RedfordFilms.com, PastGenerationToys.com, BriansToys.com, ToyWiz.com, SmallJoes.com, MonkeyDepot.com, and Urban-Collector.com.
Last year marked the 10th anniversary for Halo: Combat Evolved, the first game in Bungie's popular sci-fi shooter series. Along for the ride was Joyride, the first company to produce action figures for the title. While simplistic in design compared to modern day standards, the toy line was quite popular with fans, Joyride taking the series deep by releasing every conceivable character. Multiple color variants were added as exclusives to keep things interesting.
2012 sees the next exciting installment with Halo 4 and McFarlane Toys will along for that ride (see our story HERE). Check out the recently released "making of" video for Halo 4 below.

In May 2005, Time Magazine was the first to report that Dave Chappelle left his show in part due to one controversial sketch. In July 2006, friend and co-writer Neal Brennan also told Maxim magazine that Chappelle walked out after a crew member laughed condescendingly at this sketch. The sketch that made Chappelle say 'enough' will be aired Sunday night on the premiere of the second episode of Chappelle's Show: The Lost Episodes... but you can see it right now for what it is.
This video joins the sketch shortly after it has started (the end of this video has the beginning). Dave has just been asked by a stewardess on a flight if he would like to have the chicken or fish for dinner. Suddenly the 'black pixie' appears in front of Dave, tempting and chiding him to play into the stereotype of ordering the fried chicken. The pixie is a singing, dancing Chappelle painted in black face and wearing a vaudeville-esque suit.
The black pixie again shows up alongside the Ying Yang Twins on MTV Cribs, saying "I never thought I'd say this, but even I'm embarrassed."
The show continues with a cocaine snorting 'Hispanic pixie' that tempts a Hispanic guy into buying leopard skin seat covers for his car, an 'Asian pixie' that plays on a man's inability to pronounce the name Lala, and a 'white pixie' that advises his counterpart on how to talk to his black friends.
The Time magazine article sheds light on Chappelle's own thoughts on the matter:
The third season hit a big speed bump in November 2004. He was taping a sketch about magic pixies that embody stereotypes about the races. The black pixie--played by Chappelle--wears blackface and tries to convince blacks to act in stereotypical ways. Chappelle thought the sketch was funny, the kind of thing his friends would laugh at. But at the taping, one spectator, a white man, laughed particularly loud and long. His laughter struck Chappelle as wrong, and he wondered if the new season of his show had gone from sending up stereotypes to merely reinforcing them. "When he laughed, it made me uncomfortable," says Chappelle. "As a matter of fact, that was the last thing I shot before I told myself I gotta take f_____— time out after this. Because my head almost exploded."
After a commercial break, the interim hosts of Chappelle's Show explain Dave's thoughts on the sketch, and as a result, their reluctance to air it, so they ask the audience for their thoughts. Responses were both positive and negative, with one young woman saying she felt the sketch was derogatory and played off the bad stereotypes of blacks and Hispanics, but played on the 'good' stereotypes of white people. More responses continue here.
So now, I pose the question to you, when are jokes like this acceptable and when are they not? When the person making them is the same race as the butt of the joke... when it's thought provoking and makes people talk? Or are some things just always unacceptable because of those that take it to heart?

ESPN college football reporter Samantha Steele is engaged to Minnesota Vikings quarterback Christian Ponder, according to Sports Illustrated's Richard Deitsch.
In mid-October, Ponder confirmed on Twitter that he was dating Steele, who was in her first season with ESPN's "College GameDay."
When news broke on the Steele-Ponder relationship, some questioned whether there was a conflict of interest. But given that her realm is college football, and Ponder's is the NFL, that seemed something of a reach.
"We do not comment on, or confirm, personal aspects of employees' lives," an ESPN spokesperson told Sports Illustrated in October. "Regarding any policies, we expect any commentator to raise any relationship that could be a conflict with the sport they cover. This does not fit that scenario as she covers college football."
Ponder and the Vikings, meanwhile, are trying to get back on track after starting 4-1. Minnesota has lost five of its last seven games with Ponder throwing eight touchdowns and nine interceptions in that stretch.

Surgery for Thymus Cancer
Whenever possible, surgery is used to treat thymus cancers. If you have thymus cancer, one of the first things your doctor will do is to try to determine whether or not the cancer is completely resectable (removable) with surgery.
The most common surgery for thymus tumors is complete removal of the thymus (including any tumor). This is called a thymectomy. In most cases the surgery is done through a median sternotomy, an incision down the middle of the chest that splits the sternum (breast bone), permitting thorough removal of the thymus and tumor.
The surgeon will also try to remove any areas of tumor spread outside of the thymus. That means that if the tumor has grown into nearby structures, the surgeon may also need to remove parts of those structures, as well. This could mean removing parts of the pleura (tissue coating the lung), pericardium (the sac containing the heart), nerves, the superior vena cava (a large vein leading to the heart), and/or lung.
Some doctors might suggest surgery even if the tumor is not completely resectable, as is the case with many stage III thymomas and with most stage IV thymomas. In these cases, the doctor might remove as much tumor as possible (called debulking), and then recommend further treatment with radiation therapy and/or chemotherapy. But not all doctors agree that surgery that doesn't remove all of the cancer helps people live longer. In some cases, chemotherapy or radiation therapy may be given before surgery to try to shrink the tumor so that it can be more easily removed completely.
Possible side effects of surgery for thymus cancer
Possible complications depend on the extent of the surgery and your health beforehand. Serious complications can include excessive bleeding, wound infections, and pneumonia.
You will need to stay in the hospital for several days after the surgery. Because the surgeon usually will have to open your chest for the operation, the incision will hurt for some time after surgery. Your activity will be limited for at least a month or two.
Some people may need to have part or all of a lung removed. If your lungs are in good condition (other than the presence of the cancer) you can usually return to normal activities after a lobe or even an entire lung has been removed. If you already have lung problems such as emphysema or chronic bronchitis (which are common among heavy smokers), you may become short of breath with activities after surgery.

Josh Freeman will need a strong 2013 season to remain the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' starting quarterback. The Tampa Bay Times reports the Bucs aren't discussing a contract extension for Freeman, even though his rookie deal expires around this time next year.
As a first-round pick in 2009, Freeman signed for five years at $26 million, with more than $10 million guaranteed. His base salary next season is $8.4 million. According to the Times, Greg Schiano, coming off his first season with the team, may want to explore other quarterback options if Freeman struggles.
Freeman rebounded nicely from a third-year slump in 2011. He cut down his interceptions (from 22 to 17) and raised his touchdown passes (16 to 27), but his 81.6 passer rating was still well below his second season (95.9)
Bringing in go-to wide receiver Vincent Jackson and rookie feature back Doug Martin were big assists, but Freeman cooled off down the stretch in 2012. He threw four interceptions in both Week 15 and 16, in consecutive losses to New Orleans and St. Louis. Now that Freeman has more familiarity with his reloaded weapons, the expectations will be that he gets closer to the top level next year.
The Buccaneers are playing it safe with their talented passer, who has a lot left to prove to remain their No. 1.

Ruf returns to Phillies as Mayberry goes on DL
PHILADELPHIA -- After a short stint in the Majors earlier this year, Darin Ruf was granted another crack at big league action after the Phillies recalled him from Triple-A Lehigh Valley before Tuesday's game vs. the Giants.
John Mayberry Jr. was placed on the 15-day DL with left wrist inflammation to make room for Ruf.
Ruf was first called up in late May, and the Phillies toyed with the idea of implementing a platoon situation at first base between Ruf and Ryan Howard, who struggles against left-handed pitching.
But after Ruf went just 1-for-10, the Phillies ended any chance of that scenario playing out by sending him back down to Lehigh Valley. Shortly thereafter, Ruf suffered a left wrist fracture sliding into a wall while trying to chase down a foul ball. The injury forced him onto the DL on June 4, and he only returned to game action July 2.
In his last three games with Lehigh Valley prior to his callup Tuesday, Ruf went 6-for-12 with four RBIs.
"It's gotten better," Ruf said of his timing at the plate. "Felt a lot more comfortable in the box the last few days."
But in 49 at-bats with the IronPigs and 23 with the Gulf Coast League Phillies after his return, he didn't hit a homer, as power is generally thought to be the last attribute to come back after a wrist injury.
"Seems like the more I swing the bat, the more it gets loosened up and things like that," Ruf said. "When I didn't swing for a month or so again, the bat speed just kind of needs to return, too. The whip the hands and your wrists create with your swing, I just need to get that back."
Ruf called this season "mentally challenging" because of all the starts and stops thus far, but he will have another chance to showcase his ability in the Majors.
"There's two months left, and two months is all that I've got, so I have to try and make the most of it," Ruf said. "It's definitely enough time to get some games under my belt."

Why so SERIOUS
Why so SERIOUS
Lol just saw Vonte Leach is getting pad 4.3 million... you can keep him for that ...
Why so SERIOUS
Wonder if we are gonna snatch a player or two from the Ravens cause everyone wants to get paid there after the SB and they are in a mini salary cap hell. Grigs has a lot of money to spend this year and some decisions to make.
But I think we will grab atleast one.
Why so SERIOUS
Bolden has said that he will retire if cut by the Ravens.
Ed Reed would be ok for a year or two even if the Colts have to overpay for him. I would rather overpay for him for the short term than overpay for guys like Kruger or Williams. Kruger is good in Baltimore but that has more to do with the talent on that defense, imo. I really don't think he would be nearly as good in Indy as he is in Baltimore. I'd much rather see the Colts sign Anthony Spencer than Kruger. As for Williams I think there are better cornerbacks available in free agency and from what I have read this draft class is suppose to be deep with cornerbacks.
Arthur Jones...
Edit Signature
I say I like Spencer better for this defense, but we will see which we land.
Why so SERIOUS
Pep just said he plans to use Allen as a FB, and that is what I was thinking, using a TE instead of a dedicated FB, his reasoning was pretty good though.
Why so SERIOUS
Why so SERIOUS
He also talked about the possibility of using Wildcat and pistol formation which honestly cringed me a bit.
He basically said we will use all kinds of attack. lol.
Dont go after Reed save our money for next year and go for TJ Ward he is a guy i would love to see in a colts uni
Counting down the days untill DJ Augustin's contract expires.
I hate to say that but I really wasn't all that excited from what Pep said about wildcat, pistol, etc. I mean its great to throw the defense of and keep them guessing but I think some teams get carried away with trying to trick their opponent too much. I hate the thought of having Luck on designed run plays. The guy can clearly run when he has to, as he had to a lot last year, but I have never felt it was wise to force QB runs at least not in the NFL.
He should just take a look at No 2 in last year's draft...
As I said above, I was like you when I heard his bullet points from his presser. Of course, there is a big possibility he said those things just for the sake of it. But, I am worried a bit already. Besides, why would you want to take the ball off your QB's hands? Madness.
Seriously I would much rather draft or sign a late pick to run the wildcat or Pistol once in awhile without Luck taking that risk.

Retired couple Carel and Caroline Bouwens conquered Mount Kilimanjaro to raise money for the Cancer Vaccine Institute.
Retired army officer Mr Bouwens,63, and his 60 year-old-wife, of Collingbourne Kingston, took on the challenge in memory of their son's fiancée, Lucy Sands, who died in 2011.
The 28-year-old was diagnosed with malignant melanoma in 2006, and in 2010 she began to receive treatment from the Cancer Vaccine Institute and participated in a number of experimental trials of vaccines.
The couple were joined on the 5,895 metre climb to the summit by their son George, 30, daughter Lizzie, 28, and 19-year-old family friend Will Fortescue.
Mr Bouwens said: "It is difficult, if nigh-on impossible, to predict the effect of altitude on any particular individual so all that can be done is to attempt to mitigate the chance or severity of it by slowly getting one's body used to altitude."
They took four days to reach base camp and reached the summit at 8.20am on Monday, March 10.
He said: "Although we were all shattered and some of us were feeling the effect of altitude sickness, we were determined not to let the CVI and our donors down."
Mrs Bouwens, a retired physiotherapist, said: "As we reached base camp, the porters came out to meet us and relieve us of our heavy rucksacks. They congratulated us and it seemed as though they were greeting us as returning heroes."
The climbers have raised more than £10,000 and each of them funded their own part in the expedition.

5 BusinessmenLogic puzzles require you to think. You will have to be logical in your reasoning.
These five businessmen represented different companies at a recent trade fair. Unfortunately, the hotel they were all due to stay in had accidentally double booked their rooms. They tried other hotels in the area, but all were fully booked. Consequently, they all agreed to share the only two rooms available in the hotel - one twin and one triple.
From the clues, can you work out each man's name, company and official title?
1. When the five men realized their dilemma, they drew straws to see who would share with whom. The outcome for four of them was that the CEO shared with the businessman from ABM Inc. and Edgar shared with the Developer.
2. Alan does not work for Reed Right and is not the Director. The Director does not work for Lantel or Blue Teeth.
3. Neither Clarkson nor Grimaldi works for Reed Right. Grimaldi is either the IT Analyst or the CEO.
4. The businessman from Reed Right did not share a room with Thomas.
5. Clarkson, who does not work for Lantel, shared with either Thomas or Grimaldi but not both.
6. Edgar's surname is either Casson or Graves. Edgar did not share with Carl.
7. The businessman from Chiptech shared with the businessman from Lantel.
8. The CEO shared with the IT Analyst.
9. Casson works for either Blue Teeth or Chiptech.
10. Neither Joshua nor Alan works for ABM Inc.
11. Fielder shared with the Director.
12. The Accountant from Blue Teeth shared with the Developer.
First names: Alan, Carl, Edgar, Joshua, Thomas.
Last names: Casson, Clarkson, Fielder, Graves, Grimaldi.
Company: ABM Inc., Blue Teeth, Chiptech, Lantel, Reed
AnswerFirst Name, Last Name, Company, Position:
Carl Grimaldi, ABM Inc., IT Analyst
Edgar Casson, Chiptech, Director
Joshua Graves, Reed Right, CEO
Alan Clarkson, Blue Teeth, Accountant
Thomas Fielder, Lantel, Developer
To solve this teaser, you first need to determine who shared which room with whom. Three delegates shared the triple and two shared the twin. The CEO shared with the businessman from ABM in one room and Edgar shared with the Developer in the other (1). Since Grimaldi is either the IT Analyst or the CEO (3) and the CEO shared with the IT Analyst, Grimaldi is in the same room as whoever is the CEO, IT Analyst and ABM delegate although Grimaldi could have been one of these people. Edgar did not share with Carl (6) so Carl is in the same bedroom as, and possibly is, the CEO, IT Analyst, Grimaldi and/or the ABM delegate. Grimaldi and Thomas were in different rooms so Thomas shared a room with Clarkson (5) and the Reed Right delegate was in a different room to Thomas. At this stage we know:
Room 1
IT Analyst
ABM delegate
Reed Right delegate
Room 2
Since the Chiptech delegate shared with the Lantel delegate (7), both of these must have been in room 2 otherwise there would be four delegates in room 1 which is not possible.
Now this has been ascertained, the puzzle can be solved:
The CEO shared with the IT Analyst so the IT Analyst must work for ABM (Clues 1 and 8) so the CEO must work for Reed Right. Since Grimaldi does not work for Reed Right, he must be the IT Analyst. Clarkson, Fielder and Casson are in room 2 so the CEO must be Graves. Graves is not Edgar (1), Thomas (4), Carl (IT Analyst) or Alan (2) so must be Joshua. Clarkson is not Thomas (5), Edgar (6), Carl or Joshua (in room 1) so must be Alan. The Director does not work for Lantel or Blue Teeth (2), Reed Right or ABM (room 1) so must work for Chiptech. This is not Graves or Grimaldi (room 1), Clarkson (2) or Fielder (11) so must be Casson. Since Graves; first name is Joshua, Casson must be Edgar (6). Alan Clarkson does not work for Reed Right or ABM (room 1); Lantel (5) or Chiptech so must work for Blue Teeth. Since he is not the Developer (12) he must be the Accountant. This leaves Thomas Fielder who is the Developer for Lantel.
What Next?

Responding to public complaints from Pentagon officials about the cost and progress of the Global Hawk program, Northrop Grumman has provided a robust defense. In briefings at the Farnborough airshow followed by the AUVSI (Association for Unmanned Systems International) show in Denver last month, company officials made detailed comparisons with the cost of using manned platforms for intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) missions. According to Gene Fraser, v-p of Northrop's aerospace systems sector, it costs nearly five times as much per-orbit-hour to fly the U-2 as the Global Hawk. The U.S. Air Force plans to deploy the high-altitude UAV to two new locations in the next few weeks: Guam in the Pacific and Sigonella, Italy. From these locations, the Global Hawk can replace the U-2s that still fly operational ISR missions over Korea and the Near East, respectively. However, the UAV has not yet formally passed its initial operational test and evaluation (IOT&E), despite having been deployed continuously to the UAE for flights over Iraq and Afghanistan since 2001. The key IOT&E milestone should be accomplished by the end of November, according to George Guerra, v-p for HALE Systems with Northrop Grumman. The U.S. Congress has refused to allow the U-2 to be retired until the USAF has demonstrated that the Global Hawk can provide an equivalent capability.

Volunteers Vital for Wildlife, Parks, Outdoor Education
AUSTIN – April is National Volunteer Month, and folks who love state parks, hunting and fishing in Texas have plenty tocelebrate. In 2010, volunteers provided close to 955,000 hours of service worth an estimated $16.9 million to the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department.
Texas State Parks and Historic Sites alone receive volunteer service worth approximately 290 FTEs annually, saving TPWD's State Parks Division almost $10 million per year in avoided costs for administrative, maintenance, interpretive, and park host duties throughout the state.
But volunteers are also vital for wildlife management areas and state fish hatcheries. And TPWD has entire education programs that are built upon and could not function without large and well-trained corps of statewide volunteers, including hunter, boater and angler education and archery instruction.
Volunteers support TPWD's traveling Life's Better Outside Experience at partner events. They also make possible programs like Texas Master Naturalists, Texas Nature Trackers, the Texas Youth Hunting Program, Coastal Expos, and more.
Links to volunteer opportunities are on TPWD's Get Involved web page.

Topic: tarceva/avastin
ok, just a query. Who out there has recently used this combo and what did you experience? I cannot do traditional chemotherapies due to low counts probably from a combo of the heavy-duty chemo last fall and bone marrow problems after y-90. So the new tack is a targeted therapy. Just looking for advice - - I start today. After a couple months if my marrow recovers, I will go back to chemo, but now this seems like the only option. If I do nothing the tumor markers just go up and up. Also, anybody experienced with the trials "GI TIL" or Mesothelin? They sound good but my onc is against them. Why? She says too toxic. Thanks, all.

Bungie Explains Why They're Removing the "Kekistan"-Looking Gauntlets
Sep 15, 2017 | 6 Comments
With the fifth and final episode of The Walking Dead seemingly right around the corner, Telltale Games has released a video comparing the player choices made in Episode 4: Around Every Corner.
While your decisions have had an effect on the story all this time, it seems Episode 4 saw the culmination of your decisions play out in the form of *spoiler* who goes along with you on your search for Clementine. There were plenty other of difficult decisions to make as well, and it seems that I was in the minority on most of them — particularly with revealing the bite.
How do your decisions stack up to those made by others?

Topic: In shock
My husband Grant passed away on the 7 September after an initial diagnosis in June . I don't think he ever came to terms with his disease or the fact that he was going to die.This made it very hard for any of us to accept the cruelty of this cancer.
I take comfort in the fact that we nursed him at home, which is what he wanted. Grant was a prominant businessman and activitley involved in our community, there has been overwelming shock that someone as fit and healthy as Grant could become so ill and die.At his funeral last week forty young surf lifeguards formed a guard of honour , local Maori honoured Grant with a ceremonial cloak and sang a waiata as he was carried away from us. Our Mayor paid tribute to him.It has brought comfort to his two sons , seeing how much he was loved and admired by others. And so we must go on ,remembering him as the energetic , dependable soulmate who loved more than anything to be sharing his love of the sea and the outdoors with his family.

This past summer I was able to go on a
mission trip to Mexico with the Legionaries of Christ.
I had been involved with the Legion from time to
time prior to this trip, but I soon found out
I had a lot more to learn more about them
and myself. I took a closer look into the
Legion this past spring when I went out east to
visit a few of my cousins who are in the
seminary. It was there where I was informed about
a mission trip that was taking place in Mexico with
Father Juan Guerra L.C. heading the trip and my cousin
Patrick Leahy as the mission leader. I was extremely
excited about going on this trip. Upon getting
ready for the mission, I had to get packed physically,
mentally, and spiritually. Physically, I had to get clothes,
religious items and candy for the kids, along with the
ever-important handy-wipes. For those who have been on missions
before, you know how valuable handy-wipes can be. Mentally,
I wanted to be ready to work, and to be
prepared for the roughest living conditions I had ever been
in before. Spiritually, I was hoping to give the
people there a stronger faith by being an example to
them in the way I worked, played, and prayed. I
started my journey for this mission from Petoskey, Michigan by
automobile. From there I traveled to Detroit, Michigan.
It was at the Detroit Metro Airport, where we met
up with Father Juan Guerra and many of the other
missionaries. From Detroit we took a flight to Phoenix,
Arizona. To say the least it was quite
a climate change from northern Michigan. We then packed
ourselves, all twenty of us, into a fifteen-passenger van and
headed for the border. The scenery was nothing like
I had ever seen before. It was a vast,
arid, sand-covered area, with majestic rock formations shooting out of
an area covered with cactus and tumble-weed. After
reaching the border we all got on to a Greyhound-type
bus. I have been on a bus many a times
but this was unique in the fact that at every
stop you didn´t know what to expect. For instance,
for the first time in my life I had to
pay money to use the restroom, and it seemed that
at other every stop the power was out because of
storms. All we could say to ourselves was "that
this was missions." Ten hours later the
bus ride was over. We had arrived in Los
Mochis. There a Regnum Christi family invited us into
their home to shower and for something to eat and
drink. The stay was very refreshing -- but short.
Within two hours of getting to Los Mochis we
were on the road again -- or should
I say we were on track, as our next mode
of transportation was by train. This was a new
experience for me that I would love to do again
and would highly recommend others to do the same.
Heading into northern Mexico in the state of Chihuahua I
was expecting much of the same type of scenery and
climate I experienced in Arizona. Come to find out
it was quite the opposite. Just imagine being six
thousand feet above sea level gazing at some of the
highest mountains in the world covered with thick, green, almost
jungle-like foliage, and holding your breath as you weave along
the mountain´s edge looking into valleys deeper than the Grand
Canyon with scattered railroad carts that have fallen off some
of the trains, possibly because they were going around
the curves a little too fast. Along with the
fear that somewhere along the tracks some bandits could stop
and take over the train at any time was just
an added bonus of riding a train through remote parts
of northern Mexico. But the excitement of the view
was much too great to be distracted by our
fears of what could have happened. After fourteen
hours on the train and two days total of constant
traveling, we had reached San Juanito, home of the parish
where our mission was based. From there we were
dispersed to many of the surrounding villages. I was
sent to a small village called Yeposo. To get
to Yeposo we had to take a truck with three
people sitting inside but the other three bouncing on
the flatbed in back -- and I mean bouncing. Yeposo
was only two hours away, and I figured that I
could handle that since I had already been traveling for
two days straight. Well after several wrong turns, being
stuck in foot deep clay, carrying all of our luggage
and food down a mountain side on foot to the
wrong village, and sitting in the back of a pick-up
truck with all our luggage in the pouring rain ...
it took us seven and a half hours to reach
Yeposo! The journey there was chaotic but well
worth it. The village was in the most beautiful
lush, green, valley, surrounded by the most picturesque mountains I
had ever seen. Even though the view was great,
our group had the roughest living conditions. The house
we stayed in had dirt floors, a leaky cardboard roof,
no electricity, no bathrooms, no shower. This is what
I had hoped, prayed and was mentally prepared for: as
you can see there was a lot of work to
be done. We had two main goals to accomplish on
our mission to Mexico. The first was to bring
people back to the Catholic Faith, and to give them
the spiritual direction and guidance needed to continue and deepen
their faith after we were gone. Our second goal
was to find out what their physical needs were, and
to take care of them if possible, or to help
them with their everyday chores. We went door to
door talking to people about their faith and letting them
know the activities we were planning, whether it was Mass
or catechism class for the adults or the children.
For example, at one of the villages we did a
skit of the Good Samaritan, and that is something that
the adults and the children said they will remember and
cherish for years to come. With adults we would
read from the bible and talk about some of the
points it brought up. Everyday we were there we
gathered the village up for a daily rosary and would
process around the church with candles and a picture of
Our Lady of Guadalupe leading the way. You
could see in their deep, dark, eyes the yearning to
hear stories about Jesus´ life and what they can do
to improve their own faith lives. These sorts of
activities combined with door-to-door evangelizing enabled us to leave an
imprint in their minds and in our own for years
to come. For the most part the people
there were very receptive to us and were very interested
in what we had to say. When we arrived
there the people of the village told us it was
three months since they had Mass. It was sad
to hear this because some had fallen away but at
the same time we were able to see them come
back to the Church, and that was a very special
and rewarding feeling to see not only adults come back
to the church but also the excitement and enthusiasm that
the children had when they were with us. It
was an awesome experience for me and everyone else that
went on the mission. To accomplish our second
goal of fulfilling the people´s physical needs we asked them
what they needed, whether it was tin for their roofs,
cement for their floors, lumber, or any miscellaneous items they
needed -- whatever we could help them with. For
example, one day we dug a four-foot by four-foot hole
that was also four feet deep. We then
we built a wooden box to surround the hole.
This became our new latrine. Another time we hiked
up into the mountains to find dry tree trunks and
other logs for firewood, because wood was our only source
of heat for warmth and the only way we could
cook our food. When we found the wood, we
put it up on our shoulders and carried it down
the mountain to a house. We then got
a crash course in the special art of chopping tree
trunks. Many of us also helped put roofs on
people´s homes using corrugated tin. It was easy to
tell which houses the Legion roofed, because there were a
couple extra dentsin the roofs, but it kept the rain
off of the people and that was what really mattered.
Some of us also had the opportunity to spread
cement over the dirt floors in some homes.
There were many other odds and ends that we
helped out with: cooking or cleaning, carrying cement bags or
tin -- all part of our daily mission work.
It was hard work, but I think that we all
found it equally rewarding. I was shocked at how
generous our hosts were to us even though they did
not have much to begin with. But believe me
they gave me more than I could ever give to
them. If there is one thing that I´ve
learned from this mission trip to Mexico it is that
our Catholic Faith is universal. It does not matter what
language you speak, what nationality or country you are from,
nor your financial background; our faith is the one thing
that binds us together and the one thing that that
we can show others how to live in the way
we work, play, and pray. Even though I went
into this trip knowing very little Spanish, I discovered that
throughout the trip I began to understand their faith. And
that my dear friends is our mission. Joe Carlson

Adrian gives Dodgers finale win over Cardinals
Ninth-inning single plates winning run; Kershaw fans eight over seven
ST. LOUIS -- Adrian Gonzalez stood at home plate late Sunday night, his emotions boiling, but his mind telling him to keep calm.
With two runners on base and two outs in the ninth inning of a tie game, Gonzalez stepped to the plate after teammate Hanley Ramirez had just been hit by a pitch, for the second time, and was forced to exit.
"Your first emotion is to hit a home run and stand at home plate and do all that stuff," Gonzalez said. "You tell yourself, 'The minute you try to hit a home run, you're just going to get yourself out.' You just have to try to stay within yourself and try to get a hit, because that's all we needed."
That's also what the Dodgers got when Gonzalez took the second pitch he saw from Cardinals closer Trevor Rosenthal, a 98-mph fastball, and dumped it into right field to lift the Dodgers to a 4-3 victory against the Cardinals and salvage one game of the three-game set.
"Just a bad pitch in that situation," Rosenthal said. "Down the middle, middle in and up in the zone.
The Dodgers stranded nine baserunners in the finale, upping the series total to 22, but after going 2-for-14 with runners in scoring position in the first two games of this series, they went 5-for-14 on Sunday.
"We got some hits when we needed them tonight and that's what the difference was," Dodgers manager Don Mattingly said.
While the Dodgers played from behind in both losses to start the series, Clayton Kershaw was given an early lead with a two-out single from Juan Uribe to plate the game's first run in the second inning.
After getting ahead with two strikes to Jhonny Peralta in the home half of the inning, Kershaw eventually allowed a single on the seventh pitch. He surrendered the Cards' first run on a double to Allen Craig, again after getting ahead with two quick strikes.
Kershaw would settle in during the next three innings, striking out the side in the third while needing 29 pitches to work through the three frames. He was given additional run support with a two-run third as two walks came around to score.
Rare trouble for the Dodgers ace awaited in the sixth, though, once again after he got ahead of Matt Carpenter with two early strikes. It was Carpenter who fueled the Cardinals last October with an 11-pitch at-bat against Kershaw in Game 6 of the National League Championship Series that turned into a double and a four-run fourth as the Dodgers were eliminated.
This time, Carpenter worked a 10-pitch walk and Peter Bourjos followed with a home run to left-center to even the score at 3. This was only the fourth time in 15 starts that Kershaw has allowed three or more runs.
"He was kind of cruising pretty good and then when Matt has that at-bat where he's fouling everything off and ends up walking, it kind of got that inning started," Mattingly said.
"It was definitely a game-changer as far as a quality at-bat and it put us on our heels a little bit," catcher A.J. Ellis added.
Kershaw worked out of the sixth with two of his eight strikeouts and tossed a scoreless seventh before being removed with 109 pitches.
"It was a struggle," Kershaw said of his night, in which he allowed three runs for the first time since May. "I didn't really have a great idea where the ball was going for most of the night and then my offspeed stuff was pretty inconsistent, too. They made me pay for my mistakes, but I was able to battle and get through seven, which was good."
The Dodgers threatened by putting runners on the corners with one out in the seventh, but it went for naught with a double play.
A leadoff double in the ninth nearly went for nothing, too, as Rosenthal struck out the next two hitters. But Ramirez was hit by a pitch on his left hand to extend the inning and give Gonzalez the spark the Dodgers have needed.
"We didn't want to get out of here being swept," Gonzalez said. "For me, it was tough to not let my emotions take over and try to over-swing and try to hit a home run, because we still need to win the game."

Umpires' review confirms no violation of collision rule
Rivera tags out Carpenter at home plate on infield grounder in fifth inning
SAN DIEGO -- At manager Mike Matheny's urging, crew chief Brian Gorman reviewed a fifth-inning play at the plate on Tuesday night before confirming that there was no violation for Rule 7.13, which requires a catcher to provide a lane to home plate if he does not have possession of the ball.
In this case, Padres catcher Rene Rivera did not have to leave that lane, as he took the throw from third baseman Yangervis Solarte before Matt Carpenter reached home. Carpenter, trying to score the go-ahead run in a 1-1 game on Matt Holliday's one-hopper to third, was tagged out by Rivera.
After a one-minute, 15-second review, the out call was confirmed, making Carpenter the second out of the frame. The Cardinals did not score again that inning against Padres starter Tyson Ross. Because it was a crew-chief review, Matheny retained his challenge for use later in the game.

I thought it would be a good idea to have a thread to post all the different misused words and
other abominations of the English language found on Pacersdigest. I know I could use some help occasionally.
My contribution is the word dominate. This is constantly used when people should be using the word dominant.
For instance, Paul George was dominate in the 3rd quarter last night. Wrong. The correct usage is "Paul George was dominant in the 3rd quarter last night.
Anyway, this is meant to be a fun thread. :-)
All you English teachers out there please help us.


text: Here is my usual plan of attack for a full exterior detail. 1) In the morning before the sun is full and after vacuuming I start the wash. I start with a sponge on the wheels, rinse and then refill the bucket with clean water. I never use any products on my wheels because many products can cause staining of your chrome or painted wheels. Soap and water is typically enough. Using a microfiber mitt I wash the whole car and rinse. Drying is done with a large waffle weave towel. 2) Still in the morning before the sun is high I break out the clay bar and give the car a full over using a quick detail spray to keep the surface slick. Honestly one of the best clay bars is Clay Magic which can be bought at any AutoZone. The high priced ones are a waste IMO. 3) I would wash the car again at this point if I was going right to a wax but if I am doing polishing/compound there is no need. 4) I now take out the blue 3M light tape and tape the entire car off. 5) I break out the Porter Cable orbital buffer and start on any larger scratches using Optimum Compound and an appropriate cutting pad on level 4-6. I then either use Optimum Polish or just step up to a lighter pad for the polishing phase at speed 5-6 to remove minor scratches and swirls. I wipe the car using MF pads between passes. 6) With the correction complete I move to the "wax". I use Jeff's Werkstatt Prime Strong which is an acrylic polymer that replaces traditional waxes. It lasts longer and provides a great shine. It also acts as a minor polish to help remove fine lines. Wipe off with a fine MF towel. 7) After the Prime Strong I layer on a coat of the spray on acrylic sealer, Jeff's Werkstatt Acrylic Jett Trigger which is a wipe on wipe off deal. It locks in the shine and provides an extra coat of protection. Apply to the whole car and then wipe off with a MF towel. 8) I now remove the tape and wait at leats a few hours but better a day or so for the AJT to harden. I then spray on a QD called Duragloss Aquawax which just adds another layer of shine. I add a coat of the Aquawax every other time I wash the car. Easy to use, wipe it on and wipe it off. 9) I now do the windows using just simple wiper fluid and then do all the trim and interior with Poorboys Trim Restorer. It's great because it brings trim back to life and is more of a satin finish. It smells like the tropics too. Using a foam pad I spray tire cleaner into the pad and wipe onto my tires. 10) Sit back and enjoy the hard work.

Video and photo gallery: Early crowds soak up festival atmosphere during first day of Lord Mayor's Celebration
PUBLISHED: 13:24 05 July 2014 | UPDATED: 16:19 05 July 2014
Archant Norfolk.
The party is in full swing all over the city centre as more and more people are venturing out to take advantage of the dozens of events happening in Norwich today as part of the Lord Mayor's Celebration weekend.
Marshals are already starting to close roads ahead of the 5pm procession and the final preparations are being put to the fireworks show, which takes place from Norwich Castle at 10.30pm.
Chapelfield Gardens is already awash with families and revellers soaking up the festival atmosphere.
Megan Whiting, five, and her sister Olivia, two, of Wacton, near Long Stratton, have been enjoying playing fete games this morning.
Parents Robert and Jennifer said they made the effort to come very year.
Mrs Whiting added: "The girls have been enjoying the arts and craft. We try and make the most of what's on offer during the day."
Polly Jago, 21, of Norwich, said she was looking forward to the procession.
"It reminds me of being a child again and I get really excited watching all the happy people on the floats."
Lewis Cook, Norwich City Council culture and events officer, said: "It's slightly quieter than usual at the moment because of the weather turning a few people away. But it should be busier by mid-afternoon as I'm sure the sun will be coming out.
"The people that are here taking part at the moment all seem to be enjoying the different activities and entertainment we have put on."
Crowds are also enjoying the sounds from Bo Nanafana on the Social Club Stage in Brigg Street.
The retro stage will feature the Shirt Tail Stompers, DJs Drink 'n' Jive and cabaret.
Mark Stevens, of Norwich, said it was "nice to see the city brought to life by the celebrations".

The peeps at Gilley's Music Complex scored a sweet show for their mid-size venue, the South Side Music Hall. They just announced that pop singer Robyn will perform at SSMH Feb. 18. So glad it's in this room because it's big enough to be a fab dance party, but not too big that you couldn't see her up close. OK, if you're in the waaay back, then it's a bit far.
If you've been paying attention to Robyn, she's finishing a trilogy of releases over the year with today's release of Body Talk Pt. 3 or the kinda culminating full-length Body Talk. She released Body Talk Pt. 1 back in June and followed with Pt. 2 in September. The first yielded the smash hit "Dancing On My Own," which I'd dare to say is dance/pop at some of its smartest. The rest of the EP follows suit, especially after the bold opener "Don't Fucking Tell Me What To Do." The entire album was an impressive display of writing and music that's been a Euro-alternative to American pop princesses over the years from Britney to Beyonce to Gaga.
Tickets are $22 in advance and $25 at the door and go on sale Friday.

So I ride my bike for about 2 miles a day with my dog. I ride slowly and pretty upright. lately I have been pretty sore from sitting on the seat. I bought a new seat and while it's more comfortable, it's not really any better.
Any of my biking DGRers have any tips?

Drug labels: friend or foe? (Proceedings)
Today's drug package insert (DPI) can be a powerful ally in the selection and judicious use of a drug. The information that it provides might be categorized as either Product Description, Product Efficacy or Product Safety with some overlap among the categories. The order presented here may not be followed on the package insert. Paramount to understanding the use of a DPI is understanding what constitutes a PI.
The DPI is a legal document that accompanies a finished dosing form of an approved drug product. As such, it applies only to the approved product which it accompanies. The DPI for a product includes the label on the product itself as well as any and all accompanying materials (ie, inside the package. It does not include technical monographs or advertisements that might be distributed by a manufacturer. Any use of the product in hand beyond that specifically delineated in the label constitutes extra label drug use (EDLU). While EDLU is legal (as provided for by AMDUCA) and is not a means for criminal prosecution, it does not provide protection against civil prosecution. Further, the manufacturer of the approved drug can not add to the label once approved (unless it undergoes a subsequent approval process), nor can the manufacturer otherwise promote the extralabel use of the drug. The manufacturer may sponsor post-market surveillance studies that can be cited in and provide the basis for information in monographs used for promotion of the product; however, care must still be taken to not promote a use not stated on the label. Understanding the restrictions facing a drug company as it develops its label may help the understanding of what is, and what is not, provided.Although the information on a drug label is approved by regulatory agencies, and thus is "static", the medicine surrounding the proper use of that drug is dynamic. Changes to labels that might accommodate new findings regarding the disease targeted by the drug or its use require approval by regulatory agencies, a cost the manufacturer may not want to pursue. This is probably well exemplified for antimicrobials for which resistance might emerge across time toward the target (approved) organism.
Product Description: Drug or Drug Product Name.
For the purposes of this discussion, the product refers to the finished dosing form (that is, the approved product) which includes the combined presentation of the active pharmaceutical ingredient (API; often referred to as the drug substance, which may or may not include the salt [co-ion] or ester modification), the route (which may not be included if implied by the dosing form), and the dosage form (tablet, solution, topical); release characteristics (eg. extended release tablets) may be included. Each drug label will provide three names to the product: a generic name for the drug product, which includes the generic name for the API, and the trade name for the specific drug product. The tradename can be used only by the pioneer company; thus a generic therapeutically equivalent drug product will either have no trade name or a different trade name. The generic API is named internationally and adopted nationally; the USP provides the name of the generic drug products and the manufacturer provides the trade name. Note that the manufacturer may change the API of a tradename product (more common for over the counter products).
In addition to the API, the product description will include any excipients, including fillers, stabilizers, or preservatives. These should be assessed as well for components that may contribute to allergies (ie., meat flavoring) or adversities (benzyl alcohol as preservatives for cats, xylitol as flavoring agent or carrier in dogs).
Dosage and administration:
USA dosing units for veterinary products have not been standardized to kg and thus are often offered in terms of lbs and kg. Additional very relevant, information may appear in this section, so reading through the information at least once may be prudent. Attention should be given to the basis of dosing for API modified as salts or esters: is the dose based on the total weight or the active ingredient? This becomes particularly important if moving from one dosing form of the drug to another. Newer drugs generally are named and dosed based on the active ingredient. However, older drugs may be described and dose on either/or. The best examples are the injectable chloride products, all described as 10%, but the active amount of chloride per ml varies from 0.09 to 0.4 mg/ml, or 4 fold difference. Preparation for use: This information becomes particularly important for those drugs whose strength may be impacted by inappropriate reconstitution or storage. Any variation beyond that stated on the label may increase the risk of loss of activity. One can not assume that freezing, refrigeration or other storage conditions will not negatively impact the drug. Often the information is known but can not be included on the label if it is not relevant to the approved use and indication. Storage information: As with dilution, although other storage conditions might be adequate for the product, it is only at the conditions listed on the label that stability has been proven. It should not be assumed that freezing will maintain drug stability. Products provided in protective packaging generally should be assumed to need the packaging to remain stable. The manufacturer may have additional information that could not be included on the label and may be able to share the information if specifically queried.
Expiration Date:
Generally, the expiration date should be respected although the manufacturer may have additional information and may be willing to share this if specifically queried.
The approved indication often is not the applied indication. However, any deviation from the approved indication reflects ELDU. Efficacy and to a lesser degree, safety information can be used to support an ELDU indication.
