Our native town, the place where we enjoyed our childhood, where we saw the light of the world for the first time -- You remain etched in our memory, in your young minds, from the time we looked out at you from atop Har Hascharchoret (Dizzy Mountain).
Your houses spread from Keidain Street until the road, from the Vylia river until the hill of the cemetery. There was even a part of our town on the other side of the river. At first Velvel Frumer and later Shneur Sesitzky, the government appointed rabbi, operated the ferryboat with the long rope that linked the other side of the river to the town. The ferry boat floated back and forth, each time with different passengers.
Before my eyes stand your streets and alleyways, your synagogues and Beis Midrash, your Hassidic Shtibel -- and on the other hand, the Russian church and the Catholic church. The merchants of Jonava waited for the Christian holidays when the villagers would come to make their purchases.
I heard the ringing of their bells. On Sabbath eves before candle lighting, I heard the proclamation in a loud, melodious voice summoning the people to the synagogue. I saw your weddings and heard your musical instruments. I saw the bride and groom being led to the wedding canopy, with the faces of the parents beaming with joy.
I saw your funerals and heard your eulogies and chapters of Psalms. The lads of the Talmud Torah would call out Righteousness walks before him before the bier, and the sexton would clang his charity box and declare, charity saves from death. I saw your Simchat Torah filled with heartfelt joy, and I was wary of the fear of pogroms.
Jonava! I saw your youth preparing to protect the lives of the Jews and all their property. Eight youths waited in each of the eight synagogues, and not with empty hands. Therefore, the evil gentiles forgot the day that they had designated for the pogrom. Not one gentile was seen that day in the town. It was almost entirely Jewish:
The miller and the bakers, --- Shlomo the barber is giving a haircutThe town is beautiful, with Jewish charm, everyone is a beautiful daughter of Zion.
Even the tree cutters, --- and Leizer the chimney sweep,
The smiths and the carpenters, --- Bentza the deaf, the night guard
All are dear Jews, --- and Izak Segalovsky -- with one son and eleven daughters
Itzik Dembo the wood engraver and Itzik the tinsmith / who tread carefully upon the roofs / were the head of the firefighters / all of them together and others / were the group of shooters.
[Page 4]
Whoever has not seen Keidain Street on summer Sabbaths has not seen an amazing sight in his life. The road was straight, long and unpaved -- which are three beneficial qualities for a stroll. In addition, there were cherry trees on both sides of the street. They were adorned with their white flowers in the warm spring, and when the cherries ripened, the branches turned green and were covered with red.
This road led to the water mill that ground the flour for the Sabbath challahs, and from there to the ascent to Har Hascharchoret.
The bashful bride and groom / are wary of the evil eye / -- the bride is walking with her friends on that road / and the groom with his friends turned aside from nearby. / and when the groom, the bride / suddenly sees on the stroll / he takes her hand. / The friends -- following the groom and bride / all walk with joy and mirth. / the bashful boys and girls / run to avert the eyes of the women / and hasten their steps. / Next to Har Hashcharchoret the girl finds her beloved / and the boy returns full of hope. / And at evening when they return -- they are all happy with their lot.
The youth of Jonava was also idealistic, wanting to do something for their nation and for humanity. Har Hascharchoret was the place where the factions would meet. The spruce forest covered everything.
The teacher of the Talmud Torah, Yachnowitz, spoke at the meeting of the parties. Even though Shmuelke Brandwein, the son of the teacher, and Davidka who worked in the store of Chaim Levin the pharmacist, belonged to the S.S.[1] Youth, they were not removed from there. Guards stood on guard to watch if the police were approaching. At that time, there were six policemen and a supervisor in the town, who also did not succeed in stopping the distribution of illegal signs written in red ink.
At evening, they began to return home. Each person saw their town from the heights of the mountain, with the roofs sparkling with the last rays of the sun / whether the houses were high or low / whether they were straight or leaning to a side / the sun rays lit them all up.
Keidain Street witnessed the parade of boys and girls / who accompanied the Sabbath / in their fine Sabbath clothes / and the people of Breizer Street would also look at them.
Happy is the eye who saw all this.
The first Jews who congregated in Jonava in 1775 were Jews from the village of Skaroli on the other side of the Vylia, whose population had been 300 prior to this. The development of the city took place thanks to the paving of the long Peterburg-Warsaw-Berlin road, which passed through Jonava. The paving was completed in the year 1852. The development was also due to the building of the Libau-Romana railway, which was completed in 1873 and also passed through Jonava. Trade in grain and fruit increased. The merchants took advantage of the train and were able to send their merchandise in railway cars from the Jonava station directly to eastern Prussia.
In 1877, the Vylia River flooded the city and brought great damage. Jonava was destroyed twice by fires, in 1895 and 1904. On the eve of the festival of Shavuot 1915, the Czar and his security advisors issued an edict to expel all the Jews from the region of Kovno within a 24 hour period. The residents of Jonava passed through asliai and Vilna. Most traveled by train to Ukraine and central Russia. The latter returned to Jonava only in the years 1917-1921.
From amongst the Lithuanian residents of Jonava who dedicated themselves to social and cultural activity, we should mention in a positive fashion Dr. Reiles who translated the Iliad and the Odyssey into Lithuania. From amongst the Jonava personalities we should mention the poet Morris Winchevsky, and the artists Yeshayahu Kolbiansky and DavidCohen.
The region of Jonava was populated by Russian villages of the Starovarit sect. Because of them, the people of Jonava were nicknamed Burliaks. The relationship between the Jewish, Lithuanian and Polish communities were good enough, and there were never any disturbances. During the first years of Lithuanian rule, the Jews earned their livelihood in a sufficient manner, but in the latter period, due to government pressure on the sources of livelihood through providing support to competitors such as the Lithuanian cooperatives and banks -- their economic situation declined, except for isolated individuals. During the 1930s, there were tradesmen of the following types in Jonava: 30 tailors, 25 shoemakers, 3 watchmakers, 20 blacksmiths, 2 locksmiths, 5 engravers, 6 wooden door makers, 9 scribes, 5 sewers, 2 strap makers, 1 slipper maker, 3 rope makers, 3 builders, 5 dyers, 26 carpenters, 3 tuft joiners, 10 bakers, 3 sausage makers, 1 photographer, and 3 tinsmiths. Aside from this, there were butchers, porters, wagon drivers, and barge floaters. The tradesmen were organized into a trade union that had 140 members.
From the Book of Lithuania by Dr. Mendel Sodarsky, published in 1951 in Yiddish in the United States. The writer was Pesach Janover. The details were collected through the archives of the Lithuanian priest Vytkonas.

... Only Keidain Street remains. All of the houses and factories were destroyed and covered with grass. There is not one Jew in Jonava. The Jews of Jonava were already murdered in 1941. They murdered them all one in one day in the Girialki Forest, on August 13, a day designated for disaster. Before they left the city, the Nazis opened the communal grave and burned the bodies day and night, so that there would be no remnant of their atrocities. Of all the Jewish residents of Jonava, only about ten remained. (from a letter that was received around the time of the end of the war).It was not a city and mother of Israel[2] -- rather it is a town and step mother. Furthermore, the community of Jonava is apparently not particularly ancient. The oldest gravestones in the cemetery are from about 100 years ago. It is not famous amongst the great ones, and did not give rise to famous people. Once a Jonava resident was asked if their town ever gave rise to great people. He answered, No, only young children were born with us. Indeed, there was once among them an artist and sculptor whose works were exhibited in the world capitals. One or two poets were born there. However, these were not the pride of the Jewish population of Jonava, which numbered ¾ of its residents.
Jonava was an anonymous town, immersed in toil. First and foremost there were its carpenters. Approximately 800 workers, a significant number of whom were Jews, worked in dozens of furniture factories. There was almost no young couple, even from afar, who did not come to town before their wedding to choose their furniture. Just as there was the alley of the carpenters, there was also the alley of the blacksmiths, which was filled with the echoes of the sledge hammers all day, hammering on the anvils, accompanied by the singing of the blacksmiths. And the butchers? Their fear was upon everybody. During the time of the draft, the draftees from the villages of the area would create disturbances on the main road when they were drunk. They would remove poles from fences or shelves from wagons, and dish out blows that their victims would remember for the rest of their lives. Above all were the wagon drivers of the town. Once, a certain rabbi who was visiting Jonava was asked for his opinion on its people. He responded,
[Page 7]
G-d should save me from the exile and from the wagon drivers of Jonava...While they were still standing, chatting on the main road and exchanging words with the porters -- their voices could be heard from one end of the road to the other. Even when they modernized themselves and exchanged their wagons that were hitched to eagles (that could make the 30 kilometer trip to Kovno in 6 hours) with cars and buses, they still remained wagon drivers as they were. Now, nobody was afraid of them.
The many porters and tradesmen, and especially the water-men, who went down to the rivers and floated barges!
Indeed, there were many common folk, the burliaks as they were nicknamed by the residents of Jonava -- since the villages of the region were populated by farmers from Russia.
Once someone asked a Jonava native who had immigrated to America, had become involved in film making, and could only sign his name with difficulty -- which university he had completed. He responded, What difference does it make? -- the University of Skaroli. This is the name of a tiny village near the town. Indeed, the first Jews who had moved to Jonava at the end of the 18th century were from Skaroli, where there was a small community. However, take it easy! The Haskalah was not foreign to the townsfolk, especially to the younger people. The old and the new were intermixed, and the new had the upper hand.
Jonava -- a crossroads of railways and roads. International trains would transfer nearby. It was in the center of the areas of the three cities of Kovno, Keidain and Wilkomir. Cultural activities were carried out to no small degree through local talent, but were also helped by talent brought in from Kovno. From time to time, symposiums (before the concept was known) were conducted, as well as literary and communal debates on various topics with the participation of writers and communal activists from Kovno. There were three schools in Jonava -- Tarbut, Yavneh, and Culture League. The youth was for the most part Zionist, with all the organizations being represented. No small number belonged to the ranks of Hechalutz, went to Hachsharah, and awaited their aliya to the Land. The aliya came in trickles, however, and people managed somehow while they wearily waited for their permits and certificates. Certain exceptional individuals later reached the ranks of the Red Army and Lithuanian Division; they conquered, they came and saw -- woe to the eyes that saw! They quickly surveyed the scene, and moved onward with hardened heart, thirsty for revenge over what was perpetrated against their dear ones who remained behind in the large mass grave.
And now -- now let us arise, overcome, and record the memory of your townsfolk in the past tense: They once were, they existed, and are no longer. For us, Jonava no longer exists. It was wiped out and will not arise again.
The atrocity took place in the pleasant grove, in the place to which we were attracted on the Sabbath walks of your youth. This was the place where the Hashomer Hatzair group organized its meetings, games and activities; the place where the Genuzia and Syuniut organized their parties on moonlit May evenings, and where mixed couples would dance to the sounds of the band of wind instruments. On that bitter and violent day of 1941, a Satanic dance was organized by human beings, and the evergreen trees witnessed hellish scenes and absorbed the bloodcurdling screams.
The gentiles did not stand aside. They did not wait for the arrival of the Nazis.
In this book, we hope to give expression to that which took place on those terrible days, as well as in the life that preceded it.

The Jewish settlement in Jonava grew with the paving of the Petersburg-Warsaw road that ran through the city. During those days, the stonecutting trade developed, and a stonecutters' synagogue was founded.
The city grew further on account of the decree of the Czarist ruler in 1882 which restricted the bounds of [Jewish] settlement by forbidding the settling in villages and purchase of land outside the bounds of the cities and towns. Hundreds of Jewish families were forced to leave the villages of the region, where they occupied themselves with the growing of fruit and vegetables, dairying and flour milling. People of the nearby villages moved to Jonava. The great fires and the expulsion on the eve of Shavuot 1915 reduced the number of residents. Many did not return and many immigrated to America and Africa[1]. On the eve of the Holocaust we estimate that there were approximately 4,000-4,500 Jews in Jonava.
The geographical conditions of the town and its district were favorable for economic development. There were communication arteries a main road, railways upon which international trains traveled, the Vylia River, forests and other things. On account of this, the lumber industry developed. Before the Holocaust, there were four midsize sawmills whose annual output exceeded 50,000 cubic meters, the large Oren match factory, the Farkt Factory[2], three flour mills and two brick kilns. All of these were founded through the initiative of Jewish manufacturers. Thanks to this, furniture manufacturing also developed. There were approximately 15 large, mechanized, carpentry shops in Jonava, and many other average sized ones. Most of them were owned by Jews. This manufacturing provided almost all of the furniture of Lithuania.
During the barge season (May-November), hundreds of barges laden with all types of trees floated day and night. Some remained in Jonava and were dismantled for local manufacturing, and others continued their journey to Kovno, Jurburg (Jurbarkas) and Tilzit. A large proportion of the professional barge floaters were Jews of Jonava. These were courageous people who had a strong connection with the powerful forces of the rivers already from their youth. Great strength was needed
{Photo page 13: Blacksmiths in 1911: Moshe Ritz (Moshe Feiga Leah's), Yisrael Pogir, Tevka, Shlomo (of David-Elia the Karetnik).}
in order to transport the barges through the sandbars and waterfalls, especially during the spring during the tide season. Some of them [the barge floaters] transported the barges for two weeks.
Some of those working in assembling and dismantling were Jews. Most of the wagon drivers were Jews. These were characters like Noach Pandra of Zalman Shneour[3]: muscular, solid and strong, who did their work easily and diligently, and earned their livelihood by the sweat of their brow.
The fishermen were bound to their light boats day and night in order to provide carp for the upcoming Sabbath. Jonava was also noted for light manufacturing that was concentrated in dozens of workshops where the owners worked with several employees. There were workshops for tailoring, smithies that manufactured wagons, sleds and all types of household and building utensils, sawmills, cobblers, harness makers, tinsmiths and brick kilns. There were also builders, plasterers, painters and watchmakers. All of these employed hundreds of Jewish workers and tradesmen. Grain warehouses were concentrated along the length of the Street of the Road. Dozens of Jews worked in this business, including large scale exporters. Three hotels served the passers by. There were male and female shopkeepers of all types large and small of iron implements, textiles, fancy goods, groceries, hides, and the like.
Along with the economic activities, with the passage of time, activities in the realm of culture, society and sport arose. In Jonava there were seven synagogues, groups for Talmud study and Psalms recital, a Talmud Torah and a Yeshiva. Later, a Tarbut school was founded, headed by the principal Shaul Keidanski. There was a Yavneh school and a Yiddish school of the Culture League. Youth groups also arose Hechalutz Hatzair, Hashomer Hatzair, Gordonia, Beitar, the General Zionists, Young Zion Hitachdut, Socialist Zionists, Culture League, Mizrachi, and the Revisionists. There were the Maccabee and Hapoel and Culture League sports organizations. There were dramatic groups, choirs and bands. Through the initiative of the community, a public bank, a hospital, a bathhouse with a modern section, and slaughterhouses were set up.
The Tarbut school used the Hebrew in Hebrew[4] teaching methodology. The teachers came from Hebrew seminaries in Kovno. The schools and youth organizations with their cultural and educational activities imprinted their stamp on the majority of the youth, who for the most part were Zionist. There were those who continued their studies in the Hebrew gymnasiums of Dr. Carlebach and Dr. Schwabbe in Kovno or the Hebrew gymnasium in Wilkomir [Ukmerge]. The Hebrew library was founded to provide spiritual sustenance. It was under the supervision of members of the Young Zion Hitachdut.
On Sabbaths and festivals, presentations on various topics, symposia and literary and public discussions were organized. Between the two world wars, along with the stream of immigration to various continents, the number of immigrants to the Land, especially from among the youth, increased. They quickly became accustomed the life of the settlement in cities and kibbutzim. They paved roads, worked the land, built houses, and were active in defense. They composed the kernel of the group of survivors of Jonava, and they were joined after the war by those who survived the Holocaust, from the various concentration camps and from the vast expanses of Soviet Russia.

Rome was built in Latium, on the left bank of the River Tiber, in the eighth century before the Christian Era. Yaneve was built in Lithuania, on the right bank of the River Viliya, in the eighteenth century of the Christian Era. The details are not quite clear. It seems nobody has ever bothered to investigate the origins of Yaneve in a scholarly manner. At any rate, I have never seen anything in writing relating to the history of Yaneve. Mind you, we did have in Yaneve a historian and folklorist by the name of Nathan Yanosevich, but he could not devote any time to research. He was the secretary of the Jewish Community Council (Kehilah) in Kovno, the capital city. He had some notes, and some early documents in his possession, but never came to writing his book.
The local bishop, Juozas Vaitokunas, was a fascist, a member of the party that had ruled Lithuania between 1926 and until the end in 1940. He was not a pious man at all, and ignored even the Lithuanian Bishops, representatives of the Pope. Some of the Poles in the town tried to pander to the new masters. All in all, gentile Yaneve was a place without Lithuanian tradition, without genuine Lithuanian culture, without a religious leader, and without a civic leader of stature.
A significant part of the Jews of Yaneve drew their livelihood from the river and the dense forests in the district. The trees used to be cut, rolled into the river, tied together into rafts with special ropes, and navigated downstream to Germany. For the Viliya flows into the Nieman, which flows into the Baltic Sea on the German side[3]. There were several specialties in this trade: the merchants, the navigators, and the middlemen. Some of this timber used to be bought by local Jewish furniture makers. Yaneve was and still is a world center of the furniture industry. Many other Jews made a living in subsidiary trades. There were leather merchants, smiths gold and black -, cobblers, tailors, and grain dealers. My father was a leather merchant. The people of the timber trade needed sound boots. Thus, he was well-off, importing leather and selling it to local cobblers. The bustling trade gave Jewish Yaneve a prosperous aspect. There were some poor Jews, of course, but it was not a Shtetl as described by American Jewish novelists. Nobody opened up a shop and hoped that the Almighty will send him customers. The Jews in Yaneve knew what they wanted to do, and the craftsmen were well trained. The furniture made in Yaneve used to be sold all over the world.
Best of all I remember the expert navigators, who took the rafts down to the Baltic Sea. They were not unlike British seamen or Norwegian fishermen. It is the influence of long hours on the river or at sea. They used to eat and drink on the rafts. To be a good navigator, you had to have physical strength, agility, powers of observation and endless patience.
It would be difficult to name a world-famous Jew who hailed from Yaneve. Here and there a scholar; here and there a painter. Neither of them very well known. But the Jews of Yaneve as a group made a profound impact upon Jewish life in the Diaspora. They were profound, devoted to Eretz Israel, stubborn fighters for Jewish rights. Every Jew within this group was a man and a brother. I cannot recall a really bad Jewish character in the town. I still like to say, We men of Yaneve [4]
As to Jewish institutions, I must issue a caveat at this point: I am writing all this from memory. I have no documents with me. It is a personal picture, though my memory is not bad
The Hebrew Library of Yaneve was established in the last years of the Enlightenment (Haskalah) era in Jewish history (c. 1880). It contained only secular books. Religious tracts and books were to be found in the synagogues. Each of them had a large collection of Seforim, and they were available to all comers. In the days before radio and television were heard of, the library made life tolerable. But, of course, it also had a decisive civilizing effect. Generations of Yaneve Jews, who had no chance to acquire secular knowledge, looked on the library as their alma mater. It was not an orderly and planned education, but it was an education. There was a very small fee for the use of the books, and the poor paid nothing. The librarians, some of them great experts, were all volunteers. They not only handed out the books; they also advised clients what to read. The library belonged to the Jewish Community, of course.
I was never a real citizen of Yaneve after the age of twelve. I went to high school in Kovno, and only spent my holidays in Yaneve. After high school, I went to university again in Kovno. Nevertheless, I made good use of the library during the long vacations. I still harbor a sense of gratitude to this institution. Yiddish literature was not taught at my Hebrew school. I learned it from the library in Yaneve
Let me tell you a story here. A few weeks ago, British Television screened Daniel Deronda by George Eliot (Mary Ann Evans). The hero of this novel by an Englishwoman she was not Jewish is a Sephardi Jew. The authoress uses her hero as a mouthpiece for a powerful plea for decent relations between man and man. She even qualifies as an early Anglo-Zionist. It is necessary to remember that she lived between 1819 and 1880, and her Zionism preceded the Balfour Declaration by forty-one years. As soon as the first pictures of the Eliot play appeared on the screen, I remembered the story in all its details, and Daniel seemed an old friend, who prays in the Sephardi synagogue I even knew the monologues. Where did I come across Daniel Deronda? In the library of Yaneve. I read it for the first time in Hebrew. I don't remember who the translator was, but I remember the binding black cloth with a brown leather back. When I told an English friend about this total recall, he could not get over the miracle of George Eliot in Yaneve in the Twenties . George Eliot was not the only famous author in our local library. She was one of a series which also included Dickens, Shaw, Zangwill, Jerome K Jerome, and Mark Twain.
We all know of Sholem Aleichem, Bialik and their likes. But I also discovered in our local library such obscure Hebrew authors as Mordechai David Bransteter, Eliyahu Meidanek, Reuven Asher Broides, Menachem Mendl Dolitzki, Adam Hacohen Levinson, Micha Yossef Levinson, Moshe Leib Lilienbaum, and Peretz Smolenskin. Who knows what would have happened to my literary education without our local library?...
The longing for Zion also drew upon the books available at this library. Yaneve was no forsaken place. It had the river, a railroad and a highway. But our window to the world was our library.
But Maccabi gave us three other important treasures. A) An appreciation of sport and a knowledge of its various branches. Until this day I meet in various parts of the globe former members of Maccabi, and they all love sport and are very knowledgeable about it. And do not treat such knowledge lightly. Experts in sports are as good as any other experts at least in the West. Even ordinary people are expected to understand at least some of the games that are being played nowadays, otherwise they are poor fish, second-rate people Society will sooner forgive those who are ignorant of, say, opera than those who are ignorant of football
B) In Maccabi we learned to have a straight back, metaphorically as well as physically, the secret of fair play, and Jewish pride. C) Maccabi did away with boredom. The club was a social meeting place, and not only a place for physical exercise. The use of free time was a new discipline, and we learned it in Maccabi, long before it was introduced into the curriculum of high schools.
Over the years, I saw in Yaneve plays by Sholem Aleichem, David Pinski, Zvi Hirshkan, Shalom Ash, but above all by Jacob Gordin. I know Gordin to the present day thanks to those Yaneve productions Some years ago, I saw Ida Kaminska in the title role of Mirele Efros by Gordin. I suddenly discovered that I knew the dialogue by heart [5] I told Ida I had seen the play before in Yaneve. She knew exactly what I was talking about.
All the productions were in Yiddish, for some reason. It was the local custom to have the plays in Yiddish. Nobody had to convince his friends that he knew Hebrew That was taken for granted.
There was a Choral synagogue, a kind of representative house of prayer. It was a very handsome building which belonged to the community as a whole. But only sophisticated people prayed in it. Opposite the Choral synagogue was the Great Beth Medrash. The Choral was a red brick building; the Beth Medrash was painted white. The Beth Medrash was not only a house of prayer, but also a house of study.
Then we had The Old Shul, patronized by shopkeepers and skilled craftsmen. The poor prayed in the synagogue known as The Shul of the Wandering Salesmen. The name is self-explanatory. An interesting institution was the smallest of them all: The Shul of the Stone Masons. It was a small, square structure, spotlessly clean and beautifully appointed. It always smelled of polished oak. It was patronized by wealthy merchants and landowners (among them my great-uncle), bakers and blacksmiths, for some reason. They all got on very well, despite the disparity.
There was also a tiny Hassidic house of prayer which a few of the Lubavitch Hassidim we had some - had built for themselves. But they never behaved like Galitzianer Hassidim. They used their spare time to study the Torah rather than indulge in endless devotions.
I left the New Synagogue for the end of the story. It was the one my father patronized. It was relatively new, and differed from the rest in that it stood in isolation outside the town, where the fields opened up. Its neighbors were non-Jews On both sides grew tall pine trees. There were no outside ornaments on this one. It must have been an attempt to avoid the jealousy of the gentiles. But it was very beautiful inside. On its west wall, there were twelve painted symbols of the twelve tribes. It was the work of a gifted painter who did not sign his name. I wish he did. Reuven was symbolized by a fast stream (his temper). Simon had a sword as his symbol. You had there the donkey of Issachar, the wolf of Benjamin, etc. The lion of Judah was the pride of this permanent exhibition. I remember best the snake of Dan, because it faced our seat at the east wall. It was yellowish, with the face of a gangster in a Western vile, ruthless, and ready to bite innocent people for no reason at all
Our synagogue was a very democratic institution. Among its worshippers were the local rabbi, the local recluse, and the millionaires, the navigators of the rafts, horsemen and inn-keepers. I never prayed too much, but I was connected with this particular house of prayer through my father, who was Chairman of the Board (Warden). In fact, I liked all the seven synagogues, especially on weekdays, when they were empty

Bourn could be back with Indians this weekend
CLEVELAND -- The way things are progressing, the Indians might have center fielder and leadoff hitter Michael Bourn back in time for this weekend's series against the Tigers, but manager Terry Francona is being careful not to look that far ahead.
"If he needs more games," Francona said of Bourn, who is on a Minor League rehab assignment with Triple-A Columbus, "we're going to do whatever is in his best interest."
Bourn, who has been sidelined since lacerating his right index finger on April 14, went 1-for-3 with a walk and a stolen base in seven innings as Columbus' center felder on Tuesday. He went 0-for-4 with a strikeout for the Clippers on Wednesday, with general manager Chris Antonetti in attendance to monitor his performance.
Francona said that Bourn would be re-evaluated following that game.
"We'll see how he feels and kind of go from there," Francona said. "He had a really good night [on Tuesday]."
In 10 games before the injury, Bourn hit .333 with two home runs, four doubles, one triple, two RBIs and seven runs. While he has been on the disabled list, Drew Stubbs has filled in admirably as the center fielder, and utility man Ryan Raburn has performed well offensively as the temporary right fielder (Stubbs' position).
Entering Wednesday, the Indians were 11-8 in 19 games without Bourn, averaging 5.5 runs on 10.2 hits in those contests.
"If Bourny were here [for those 19 games], who knows?" Francona said. "We don't know if we'd have been better or not, because a lot of it goes to if a guy is hot in a short period of time. I do know that over the course of a long period of time, [being without Bourn] would certainly affect us.
"But because of Raburn -- the way he's swung the bat in the short term -- we've gotten a lot of offensive production. And Drew went out to center field and played it as good as you can and has swung the bat also. Saying that, we'll be glad to get [Bourn] back."

Making The Film
Using The Film
The Angel That Stands By Me: Minnie Evans' Paintings
Minnie Evans is the embodiment of the visionary artist. She is an African American painter of Wilmington, N.C., who has created a world of mythical animals, religious symbols and natural beauty. The film explores the sources of Minnie Evans' art--Airlie Garden, with its magnificent azaleas and swans, where Minnie worked as a gate keeper for 27 years and where she did most of her paintings. Scenes of a service in her African-Methodist church draw the connections between her religious fervor and her art. She tells about her mystical visions and traces her slave ancestry to her great grandmother's grandmother who was brought from Trinidad and sold as a slave in North Carolina.

Video: Sound Bar Demo: Yamaha Digital Sound Projector
Most of the people appearing in our videos are employees at Crutchfield. We pull in folks from around the company to share their expertise. A lot of our on-camera stars come from our Advisor Group — they help people choose the right gear via phone, email and chat every day, so they're good at explaining the products and technologies.
Heads up!Welcome to this article from the Crutchfield archives. Have fun reading it, but be aware that the information may be outdated and links may be broken.
C.J., a Crutchfield advisor, listens to a sound bar demo at Crutchfield, and picks out his favorite one: the Yamaha YSP-5100 Digital Sound Projector™, powered single-speaker home theater sound bar.
Video Transcript
C.J.: Here at Crutchfield, we get the chance to listen to some of the gear that we sell, and today we've got a sound bar demo set up. We've got four different sound bars to choose from ot to listen to all of them. I like the Yamaha.
This Yamaha is awesome. It's kind of like a mini receiver. You can hook up anything with HDMI Blu-ray players, all that kind of stuff. But aside from that, what this is designed for is somebody that doesn't have room for a receiver, doesn't have room for speakers all over their house, or just don't want to. Instead of being just the traditional sound bar, this is a Digital Sound Projector. So it's got 44 speakers built into it and it comes with an actual calibration microphone so you can set it up based on your room. With the speaker calibration, it can make any room sound good. I mean we're pretty much in a garage here and it literally sounded like we were in a movie theater. It's designed to kind of bounce sound all around your room kind of like a home theater would but instead of having to have, you know, your seven speakers all around your room, wires going all over the place, you've got this one speaker that's gonna sit right below your TV and it's a home theater in one. And so when we heard it here today we did music, we did some movie stuff, and, I mean, I was completely blown away with how good it could really make this room sound.
So if you've got any questions about sound bars or the Sound Projector, feel free to give us a call here at Crutchfield.

|I really enjoyed this route. It has a great variety of moves on it with a technical, fingery crux and then a long, pumpy, reachy section above. Good reach is an advantage on this route and seems to bring the grade on the upper section down a letter grade or so.

|I've led this w/3bolts and I think with the right cam another could be skipped. The clean protection is so good near the top that an A1 medium stopper could be tossed into the crack from 10' away (the bolt is inches away). This would have been a great route. The added finish is suspect and is another story.

|Is there, as they say, a grain of truth to Ken Trout's attempt at humor? By skipping 2/3 of the bolts on this route I didn't change it for those who can only imagine bolts, but neither was it much harder than clipping the bolts. It's just a rather disappointing experience given the potential for greatness. Before you list trad routes that haven't had bolts added to them you should ask Alan Nelson about the Bacher-Yerian.

|A very, very enjoyable route. It is very height dependant though, my rating reflects that. For me, the crux was the bulge down low, and the rest of the route is fun cranking on jugs. Shorter climbers may struggle through the upper section.
By Zach Allen
Feb 1, 2006
BE CAREFUL on the lower out, especially if top-roping. A 60 meter rope will not reach in the plumb line. Because of the traversing nature of this route, the lead climber starts uphill on a high spot/pedestal, but lowers off to a different spot further down the hill. If the belayer then stands at the downhill spot and belays a climber on TR, the rope WILL NOT REACH when the TR climber lowers straight back down to where the belayer is. I watched a friend get lowered off the end of the rope here.
Tie a knot in the end of your rope! Always! And a stopper knot, not some weak-ass figure eight. But you knew that.

|11c sustained climbing, minus a subtle rest after the first crux. May feel easier to folks with smaller hands, i.e. the undercling seam is a "jug" instead of a one knuckle crimp. Ain't no way it's 11a :). Great climb all editorials aside. -KT

11c solid (for BC, not Eldo). The first pitch of Global Gorilla just left is solid 11b, and considerably easier.
Of course if you compare it to Jules Verne, the Edge, Astroman, the whole discussion is irrelevent, bordering on moronic.
My take on bench mark Boulder Canyon sport grades ONLY is.
Freewillie -10d/11a (soft)
Global Gorilla -11b (solid)
Animal Magnetism -11c/d (solid)
Empire of the Fenceless (ER) -11d/12a
Hot Flyer (USR) -12a
Tell Tale Heart (ER) -12a
Plan B (USR) - 12b (solid)
Animal Instinct -12c (solid)
Of course people disagree on these, but relative to each other, I say it's about right.
By david goldstein
Jan 3, 2007
K. Noisewater's post raises some thought provoking issues about the personal variability of the rating system. In general, I agree with his relative rankings but:
Plan B is much easier for me than Tell Tale Heart, essentially the difference between onsight and total flail.
I'm far more likely to fall at the 2nd crux of Animal Magnetism than at any point on The Edge. My approximate lifetime batting averages on these two climbs: AM .250, TNE .970. For that matter, I like my chances less on AM than on any pitch of Astroman except for the hard (traditional) version of the boulder problem.
Have I crossed the border into full fledged moronism?

I guess to fine tune my point is: ratings from one side of a particular crag to another is a relavent debate, or one end of canyon to another.
However, to compare two different styles of climbing or two areas, i.e. Yosemite crack climbing versus Eldo slab climbing versus Rifle steep limestone, is comparing apples to oranges.
Eldo 5.11 does not equal Boulder Canyon 5.11 does not equal Yose 5.11
Grades are basically area and style-dependent.
One man's nightmare is another's daydream.
Just my opinion.

I'm short (5' 5") and found the upper crux considerably harder than the lower one. The lower crux is just balancy.
Warning: beta ahead.
Short person beta - for the lower crux - from the decent hold just below the 4th bolt, reach up and left and grab the large sidepull left of the bolt with both hands. Put your right foot on the hold where your hands just were (high step to the hold below the bolt). Then layback/highstep/rock up on to your right foot, reach up and get the finger pocket above the right bolt with your right hand. Next bump up to the jug just above the pocket.
For the upper crux - work your hands up the left sloping rail until your left hand is on the third decent hold - between the two large jugs lower down and the small crimper further up. Move your feet up to the two decent incut feet, then reach up with the right hand to a small, wet, slimy hold just below a large chalked jug. Hop your left foot up and go for the jug.
By david goldstein
May 19, 2008
This is one of my favorite pitches, trad or sport, in the whole canyon. The section from after the second crux to the anchors is as good as it gets. The fact that I can speak so highly of this pitch despite the fact that it has historically given me trouble is a testament to its quality.
Note on the rating: anyone below a certain height (185 cm??) will find AM's rating quite solid as the second crux will not involve a long reach to a great jug, but instead popping to the jug from a nubbin which is almost always wet.

|I agree with the above posters about the second crux and height (I'm sub 5'3). For me, the first crux (down low) was casual, but the second crux was harder because I had to use a slippery hold to reach the jug.
By Kevin Neilson
From: Boulder
Jul 14, 2008
|This is a great pitch. My beta for the lower crux: use the left Gaston to get the right hand in place. Then lean to the right and do the high step to the hold between the 3rd and 4th bolts, but with the *left* foot. Now stand using a laybacky move Gaston-cranking off the right hand. This seems easier than the right-footed high step shown in the middle picture of the 2nd row. Note: if your belayer refuses to follow, cleaning is difficult.

rating: 5.11c/d 7a 24 VIII 25 E4 6a
While I can see this route becoming vastly easier once you have the beta dialed, the lower crux is quite sequencey and the long sustained nature of the upper section can really wear you down if you don't do things just so. I actually think that, in contrast to routes like Free Willie which are obviously soft, that Animal Magnetism felt to me more like 11d while I was attempting to onsight it.
Regardless of the grade this is an amazing climb and absolutely worth getting after!

|I agree with Tony's comments concerning - I didn't have much trouble with the lower crux, but the top is more sequency than my tired old self could handle. All the holds are there, so the solid .11 climber shouldn't have much trouble with this. That being said - why all the bolts? It seems pretty protectable throughout most of the climb.

|This climb has awesome great exposure and fun moves! I mainly climb in Vedauwoo and up the Poudre Canyon, and for what it's worth, I would say 11a/b simply because of the length of the climb and the pump factor. I think it's only a 11c because it's in Boulder Canyon. No single move was 11+, just sustained 10d. Really it's 5.Fun! Great Climb.

Fish Kill Near Lake Texoma Tied to Golden Alga
AUSTIN, Texas — State biologists from Oklahoma and Texas investigating a fish kill near the Red River upstream of Lake Texoma believe golden alga found in water samples taken from the area was to blame. While the presence of the naturally occurring toxin near this major reservoir for the first time is cause for concern, officials see it as a minor isolated fish kill.
Reports by area fishing guides on Jan. 22 of dead and dying gar and shad in Lebanon Pool, a 150-acre off-channel lake in upper Lake Texoma, sparked investigations by the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation and the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department.
According to Joan Glass with TPWD's Kills and Spills Team, all the signs and symptoms of the dead fish point to golden alga. The gills of the fish are destroyed (broken open a cell layer at a time) and bleed externally with the capillaries broken open (hemorrhaging). Although golden alga can be fatal to fish, the Texas Department of Health has found no evidence to suggest the toxins are a threat to human health.
Water samples taken from Lebanon Pool also revealed high levels of golden alga, however, subsequent samples from the Red River upstream and downstream of the affected lake have shown no evidence of the toxin. Lebanon Pool is attached to the Red River on the upper end of Lake Texoma.
Officials are continuing to monitor conditions and are optimistic that this is an isolated incident, since it would take a significant rainfall event at Lebanon Pool to push the toxins into the river and Lake Texoma. "The threat is there, but it's not a direct threat like a bloom in the water flowing down the Red River," said Glass.
First discovered in Texas in 1985, golden alga (Prymnesium parvum) was identified in a fish kill in the Pecos River and has since been responsible for fish kills in the Colorado, Canadian, Wichita and Brazos River systems. This is the first reported finding in the Red River basin downstream of Lake Kemp and Diversion Lake on the Wichita River.
Since 2001, golden alga fish kills have occurred on 23 reservoirs in Texas. Since 1985, golden alga in Texas has killed nearly 18 million fish valued at $7 million.
To help keep anglers and other stakeholders informed about golden alga, TPWD has developed a Web site dedicated to harmful algal blooms.
The site (http://tpwd.texas.gov/hab/) will be a "clearinghouse" for information about harmful algal blooms, including scientific research updates and details and up-to-date news during an active bloom.
Visitors to the site can also sign up for an e-newsletter that will provide up-to-date information about algae happenings in Texas.

JONESBORO, Ga. - Authorities say a 19-year-old man who was involved in a shootout with a Clayton County sheriff's deputy has died.
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports the gunfight happened Thursday morning near Mount Zion Boulevard and Thrailkill Road, south of Atlanta.
Clayton County sheriff's Deputy Chief Garland Watkins tells WSB-TV that a man, later identified as Jalen Ricks, sped through a school zone. Officials say neighbors saw him drive into a subdivision, where he pulled over and retrieved a gun from his trunk. Authorities say he opened fire when deputies arrived, striking one of them, and officers returned fire.
Watkins says the wounded officer was wearing his bullet-proof vest "and hopefully, the injuries are very minimal."
Sheriff's officials said the wounded deputy was recovering, and additional details were not immediately available.

Alzheimer's Disease
Chemotherapy and White Matter Disease
I have been fighting Melanoma since July 2002, have had 6 different Chemos and I`ve noticed my memorie has really changed and it`s a bit scary, I`ve had 2 radiation treatments and 15 surgories. I brought my MRI to the Alzheimer Clinic in Tampa Fl and was told I have white matter disease. Could the Chemo have caused this? What do I do. I`m 62, my Father and His Mother both had dementia. Please help.
The answer is yes. A neurologist should be consulted for further information.

How so? Chan is the school of sudden enlightenment (not gradual development on the bodhisattva path), and the Pure Land path has 100% guaranteed buddhahood in one lifetime.
If I remember correctly, in Mahayana teachings, Bodhisattvas have to go to Pure Lands to become Buddhas. Or they might be "stucked" just like Arahants are stucked in Nirvana until they wish to go to Pure Lands.

I think thats the CD I have I was going to upload Henney if I could because I think thats the only song on there that is actually all him.
Here are some of my favorite lines from Ron Artest in "Henney"
So much snow in my building, I bought a damn sled.
So much green, police thought it was weed. Until they saw it was money.
Now I gotta guard Dirk Nowitzki. N***a please give me some Henney.

I've heard Ron rap once.
I don't really make fun of his rap, or his Allure girls, because that really isn't my genre of music. I wouldn't know if he was good or not.
Although, a few Eminem songs (Stan) and the "Gangsta" sequence in Office Space I like.
You, Never? Did the Kenosha Kid?
Are you talking about the Ice Cube song from the "plant the computer virus" scene, or the Geto Boys song from the "destroy the copy machine" scene?Originally Posted by SoupIsGood
EDIT: Printer, not copy machine (I think); Oh well, now I have an excuse to watch it again.

Oh yeah, I forgot about that one. I also love when he is rapping along to Scarface while sitting in traffic in the first scene.Originally Posted by SoupIsGood
All of them are good, though.
That would be Ice Cube "Down For Whatever"...one of my favorites.Originally Posted by SoupIsGood
Ron sucks as a rapper. But you cant blame him for trying.All those lines you posted suck rap wise, the only one thats okay is the Snow and Sled one.
Hey Jesus, (why do I feel heretical when I type that?!)
I would LOVE to get a hold of some of that! How big are the mp3's? If they are just a couple MB, you could email them....I can get up to 10MB in a email....
Let me know if it is possible. I have an avenue to distribute to some of our fellow users here....I would be glad to do it...
Oh, and by the way, I think you have the best screen name I've ever seen!
But I wont fleeeexxxx,till its time to have seeeexxxx.
thats a great song
I know the album he was talking about around th brawl was Allure. I have this mixtape or something by TruWarier records with Ron Artest singing "Henney" and he is on a few other songs. Plus I weren't saying those lines were good rap-wise..They were so bad they were funny.
when I met ron one time he said he'd hook me up with a CD. But he forgot it.
I finally couldn't resist and picked up the sampler CD from Ron's label from the bargin bin recently. I saw a different one in the store somewhere too which was like so-and_so with ron artest presents or something like that. I haven't listened to the one I have yet though, kinda scared really. Like if I spilt a beer on the speaker while it was playing what would happen huh?

Organic produce can help retailers build store loyalty, because consumers of organic fruits and vegetables tend to come back again and again, sources said.
Consumers of organic produce typically are loyal shoppers, said Addie Pobst, coordinator of imports, sustainability, organic integrity and food safety for Viva Tierra Organic Inc., Sedro-Woolley, Wash.
"Organic customers are very loyal. When someone goes organic, we tend to see that they increase their level of organic purchasing year over year," she said.
Doug Classen, sales manager for The Nunes Co., Salinas, Calif., agreed.
"Organic customers tend to come with an agenda in place. They are very loyal customers," he said.
Classen said loyal organic customers translate to a need for a complete program at retail.
"When they come into a store, they are looking for someone that can offer them a complete line of products. That's what we try to do," he said.
The Nunes Co. recently added multiple items to its organic line, including several varieties of chard, kale and parsley, as well as sweet baby broccoli and leeks, in an attempt to meet those needs.
Target market
Because of these loyal tendencies, suppliers have spent some time determining exactly what type of consumer they are trying to reach.
Roger Pepperl, marketing director at Stemilt Growers Inc., Wenatchee, Wash., said there are two basic groups of shoppers: those that always buy organic, and those that just choose a few organic items.
"For the organic shopper, the consumer that buys all organic products, that number is growing," he said.
However, Pepperl also said that market demographic is fairly saturated.
"It's the middle area of organic shoppers that has the biggest growth potential," he said.
Diane Dempster, organic specialist for Seattle-based wholesaler Charlie's Produce agreed there is potential for growth by expanding the group of shoppers that regularly choose organics.
She said she's started to see evidence that growth is already occurring.
"I think new loyalty is developing all the time," she said. "The hardcore percentage of people who shopped at organic co-ops and used home delivery services are still buying, but now their children and grandchildren are shopping organic, too."
Those new organic shoppers typically choose a more traditional retail location.
"Consumers that never purchased organic products before are now shopping regularly, and not just at health food stores," Dempster said.
These new loyal shoppers translate to retailers as a market for a regularly stocked organic section with more than just a few staple items.
Capturing millenials
Young parents and millennials make up a large portion of the target demographic.
"We see the demographic is typically women with families, who are slightly more educated and slightly more affluent than the average," Pobst said.
Parents of young children are an especially strong group of shoppers.
"There have been a lot of news stories and research with the idea that pesticides are especially damaging to children, so we see a strong correlation of parents trying to choose organic for their children," Pobst said.

Johnson, Francisco still battling for third base job
PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. -- Manager Fredi Gonzalez still doesn't know who will be the Braves' starting third baseman on Opening Day in two weeks.
Chris Johnson and Juan Francisco have been locked in the third base battle all spring, and Gonzalez likes what he sees in both players at the hot corner.
"They've both been great," Gonzalez said Sunday before the Braves' game against the Mets at Tradition Field. "They give you good at-bats, they play third base better than average defensively."
Sunday didn't exactly do much in determining a front-runner. Johnson started at third, and went 3-for-4 with a solo home run, raising his spring average to .333. Francisco pinch-hit in the top of the seventh and delivered a single, meaning the two third basemen accounted for half of the Braves' eight hits in the 2-1 win against the Mets.
"They both bring other pluses to the team," Gonzalez said. "For example, if Juan is playing, Chris could be the right-handed bat off the bench. When Chris is playing, Francisco is a dangerous bat off the bench left-handed. Chris could play a little first base, so it gives you that dynamic where you could give [Freddie] Freeman a day off against a tough lefty. It gives you versatility. It gives you pretty good weapons."
One thing that Gonzalez is sure of, both likely will break camp on the Major League roster.
"They're both, to me, on the club," Gonzalez said. "We'll see. I'm open to a platoon situation, but I'm also open to whoever wins it. For me, it's that close. It's not like one's going to go away and we've got to make a decision on [if] one stays and one goes down to the Minor Leagues or whatever."

Stock gains tax vote to be held June 15: speaker
If any party proposes cross-party negotiations, however, there will not be enough time for the draft to be passed before the end of this session, the speaker said.
Regarding whether the Legislature would further extend the session or hold an interim meeting on the stock gains tax, Wang said that the answer depends entirely on the decision of all parties.
Chang Hopes General Meeting Will Focus on KMT Version
According to Wang, Finance Minister Chang Sheng-ford (張盛和) hopes that the discussion to be held in the Legislative Yuan will focus on the Kuomintang's (KMT) latest version of the tax bill, proposed by Legislator Tsai Cheng-yuan. Chang also hopes that the advantages of the four other versions can also be integrated into the final version.
Using the moon landing as a metaphor while visiting the Legislative Yuan speaker, Chang said that although the drafts of the stock gains tax have only just passed the committee review, it is not only one small step for the stock gains tax, but also a giant leap for tax reform in Taiwan.
Describing the final result given in the Finance Committee as "satisfactory," Chang said that in the past whenever the issue of a stock gains tax was raised, one finance minister would step down. Thus, it is quite a remarkable achievement that the stock gains tax proposal was able to pass the Finance Committee.
According to Chang, there is a trade-off between obtaining taxes from the wealthy and minimizing impact on the stock market. As a result, the fairer the tax, the harder for the tax to gain support in the Legislature.
The finance minister also voiced his wish to expedite the process to restore the stability of the stock market, Wang said.
Not Meeting the Requirement for Interim Meeting: Legislators
KMT Legislator Hsu Yao-chang (徐耀昌) stated that the stock gains tax issue is different from the U.S. beef row, and it is also different from the National Communications Commission (NCC) appointment controversy; therefore, it does not meet the requirement for holding an interim meeting.
KMT Legislator Wu Yu-sheng (吳育昇) cited the increase of 100 points in the weighted index yesterday as proof that the stock market will not be affected by the discussion. Thus, there is no hurry and there are still five versions that need to be discussed, he said.
Wu and Hsu, however, emphasized that the KMT still hopes to pass the draft as soon as possible.
Ma to Meet KMT Legislator
KMT Legislator Tseng Chu-wei (曾巨威), an expert on taxation, stated during an interview with the United Evening News that the KMT's newest tax proposal is not perfect, but he will do his best to make it better through communication.
According to the United Evening News, Tseng would like to see Taiwan's wealthy behave more like Warren Buffett, who doesn't shy away from paying more taxes. Tseng said wealthy people in Taiwan are willing to sponsor charity, but reluctant to pay taxes, which creates a huge obstacle for tax reform.
President Ma Ying-jeou invited scholars who drafted his white paper for his election campaign, including Tseng, to dinner last night. Tseng said he will grasp any chance to communicate with the president and other government officials, the report said.

Aerial Gypsy Moth Spraying to Begin in May
More Areas to Be Treated This Year Because of Increased Gypsy Moth Population
Starting in May, Fairfax County will begin its annual, aerial spraying program to suppress gypsy moth caterpillars. This year, more areas across the county will be treated because there are an increased number of these leaf-eating insects.
A total of 4,000 acres will be sprayed this spring, compared to 498 acres last year. County officials believe that last year's dry weather contributed to an upsurge of gypsy moths, and other East Coast states are reporting similar spikes.
Helicopters will spray a naturally occurring insecticide in 31 areas, mainly concentrated in the northern portion of the county. A detailed map showing these treatment areas is available at all public library branches, county governmental centers and online at http://www.fairfaxcounty.gov/dpwes/environmental/forest_pest.htm. Treatment areas are chosen through an annual county survey of the gypsy moth population.
Because weather conditions are unpredictable, county officials do not know the exact days when spraying will conducted. However, spraying will be done in the early morning and dusk, and it may take up to a week to complete the treatment program across the county, depending on the weather.
The county will use a naturally occurring bacteria — Bacillus thuringiensis or Bt. — as an insecticide. Extensive research has shown that Bt. is not harmful to people, pets, plants or beneficial insects, such as honeybees. The spray will not cause any permanent harm to painted surfaces, and residues can be removed with soap and water.
Bt. is registered with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and is sanctioned by the U.S. Department of Agriculture and Virginia Department of Agriculture for use against gypsy moths.
For more information about the treatment program or affected areas, call the county's Forest Pest Program at 703-324-5304, TTY 711, or visit http://www.fairfaxcounty.gov/dpwes/environmental/forest_pest.htm

Les Miles: LSU fans should give players "a big kiss on the mouth"Posted: Updated:
In a week where most teams in the Southeastern Conference played "cupcake" teams, a tight game for Louisiana State University against conference opponent Ole Miss resulted in one of the most talked about post-game press conferences this season.
Pressure was high for LSU to beat Ole Miss during Senior Day in Baton Rouge, and the with 16 seconds left in the game - the Tigers were losing.
That's when Jeremy Hill scored his third touchdown with 15 seconds left to lift the Tigers to a 41-35 victory over Mississippi on Saturday. And the excitement for Les Miles seemed to explode out of him during the post-game conference.
Miles gushed over his team's will to fight back and win the game.
"I'm proud of those men," Miles said of his team. "How easy it could have been to say it was [Ole Miss'] night."
Miles said that he was proud of all his players, whether they were highly recruited or walk-on players, saying they all played hard on the field.
"He's getting his degree and his contribution was very, very significant and will be for the next two games!"
He then said that when he was a college player at Michigan - his career was a "flop."
"I underplayed my own expectations," Miles said. "My head coach would have probably told me 'You overplayed your own physical limitations'. My point to you is that there is no such thing as a flop that takes the field for our football team! Just so ya know."
(Warning: Video contains two profane words)
That's when Miles said he was proud of his players and gave a suggestion to all LSU fans.
"Spectacular group of men. You go find them, you throw your arms around them and you give them a big kiss on the mouth… if you're a girl."
He then grinned from ear to ear and shouted "Wow! What a game!"
Miles wasn't quite through with the antics just yet. He showed reporters his "bowler dance move" that he felt like doing when Odell Beckham Jr. returned an 89-yard punt return for a score.
Instant Classic.

My great granduncle Francis Gilligan (a native of Co. Leitrim of the Roman Catholic faith) was according to family tradition an employee of Harland and Wolff. The 1911 census gives his trade as that of a boiler maker. I was wondering if the company's employee records from that time still exist as i would like to have the opportunity to view them.

I agree with this. We weren't a 2-14 team last year per se. We just had 2-14 quarterbacks. If your three starting quarterbacks are 39 year old Kerry Collins, Curtis Painter, and Dan Orvlosky, then you are not going to win many football games. I don't care how talented the rest of your team is because you simply cannot win games if Curtis Painter is taking snaps for you.
That being said, Grigson has added some pretty decent talent this year despite not having much flexibility. Hilton, Avery, Allen, Flener, Ballard, Redding, etc.
I agree with you though. The whole "2-14" thing gets a bit overblown at times, and I've certainly been guilty of doing so myself. That team wouldn't have been anywhere near 2-14 if they had a quarterback that actually deserved to be on an NFL roster. That's not to say it didn't have flaws because it clearly did as we saw in the later years of Manning. But it would have won 5 or 6 with an average NFL quarterback.

D Hall, Fletcher, Kerrigan, Orakpo, 1 of which are out for the season, but atleast that is my take.
Why so SERIOUS
Fletcher is old as dirt but he can still ball
The Colts team last year was not a SB team. Maybe a playoff team, but not a SB contender. Luck is better than both of them and deserves ROY
Smothered Chicken!
Doesn't matter last year that we were 2-14. It *may* have been more like a 5-11 team, if you wanna make a case, but Manning himself was what made that team a contender. Take him off, and we were absolutely a 5-11... 4-12... 6-10 team --- TOPS.
But regardless, we kept hardly anyone from last year's team. We gutted it. So everyone saying that Luck inherited a team that was better than 2-14 --- that doesn't fly. Luck inherited a gutted team, with $40mill in cap being paid to players *not* on this team. It's a skeleton crew. It's a brand new system. Brand new coaching staff. Half of our starters are new, and replaced with rookies.
It was a massive change-over. I can say with some honesty that without Luck, this current version of the Colts more resembles a 2-14 team than last year's team. Replace Luck with Painter and we're absolutely going 0-16.
It's why I've been pushing him for ROY and to not even mention him in the MVP talk is wrong, too.

There are two types of quarterbacks in the league: Those whom over time, the league figures out ... and those who figure out the league.
anyone not named Curtis Painter wins at least 5 games last year for the squad IMO. Plus give the GM this year credit that Colts team has a lot more talent than it should with all the savvy moves he made. It's not everyday you get a player like Freeman off the street and getting Allen was a really good move aswell. Like I said Luck has been good for a rookie but that Colts team was much improved and Curtis Painter was the QB last year that really is enoght said on why the Colts went 2-14 and really should of went 0-16 with how bad Painter was.
Tim Hasslebach of ESPN today says he would give the ROY to Luck over Griffin and Wilson, just putting that out there....
Why so SERIOUS
The colts were a classic 2 and 14. Bad leadersship from top to bottom imo. Bad coach bad backup plan with kerry collins. The injury bug hit hard and the team sort of gave up. This year we have something like 23 new players and the freaking leading tackler is from the arena league. Make no mistake it was a 2 and 14 team much like the chiefs are now.
Last year's team had many flaws and we also saw those flaws in Manning's final seasons. But the number 1, 2, and 3 reason we went 2-14 was because we rolled out 39 year old Collins, Curtis Painter, and Dan Orvlosky.
The coaching change has been huge though. A team takes on the personality of its coach and I'd much rather have my team in the mold of Pagano or Arians than Caldwell.
And it's nice not having Bill Polian's enormous shadow looming over the entire franchise.

Congrats to him.

Yea, Super Bowl weekend, I think.

ORLANDO, Fla. - A hotel near Orlando International Airport was robbed Monday morning, but it's not yet known if it's connected to a recent string of similar robberies.
Orange County sheriff's deputies said the Holiday Inn Express at 7900 Conway Road was robbed around 4:15 a.m. by two masked gunmen.
According to deputies, the gunmen entered the hotel and demanded cash and other items. The clerk complied, and the assailants fled in an unknown direction, deputies said.
No one was injured.
Law enforcement officials have linked at least 11 hotel and other robberies across Central Florida since early December, but no arrests have been made.
Orange County Sheriff's Deputies said Monday afternoon that robbers have targeted 6 hotels and restaurants within the county limits in the past month, all in a very similar way. Authorities are investigating upwards of 11 robberies in all, from Lake Mary to Davenport, involving masked men.
"We're making some headway but we are having issues with these individuals because they're dangerous," said Sgt. Parks Duncan. "They're coming in, rounding up people, holding them at gun point."
Sgt. Duncan announced Monday afternoon that deputies have strong leads and are communicating with other local law enforcement agencies.
"We're constantly talking back and forth and sharing information, so we're putting all the pieces of the puzzle together, and it takes time," said Duncan.
Sgt. Duncan said the robberies don't make sense because the robbers are not getting away with much money.
"I think these are not rocket scientists, because this is not worth it. They're not getting that much money, it's not worth the risk," said Duncan.
Sgt. Duncan said deputies are increasing patrols around hotels and he believes the technique will be effective based on confessions from past robbery suspects.
Deputies believe the robbers may be part of a larger group or some of them may be copy cat criminals.

Following the success of a new Warminster Repair Café, the organisers are appealing for more volunteers to get involved and share their skills as fixers for future workshops.
The Repair Café was set up last year by Emma Croft, waste minimisation officer at Wiltshire Wildlife Trust, and Jen Gale, who is involved with social enterprise Make It Better.
It is aimed at bucking the trend of the 'throwaway society' by encouraging people to bring things along to be repaired by a team of volunteer menders.
The third Repair Café took place at Warminster Library at the start of February, with the team of volunteers fixing items such as computers, phones, clothing and bikes.
Mrs Gale, who recently went an entire year without buying anything new, said: "We have had lots of people coming along to the Repair Cafés we have held so far and lots of repeat customers.
"We could do with some more volunteers for fixing, as we want to build up a bank of volunteers to call on so we don't have to rely on the same ones every time.
"If can get more fixers then we could look at holding the Repair Café more regularly. Anyone with skills they think might be useful would be welcomed, especially electricians.
"It seems to have really caught people's imagination, as everyone gets frustrated with how difficult it is to get things fixed and no one wants to throw things away, so we provide a good alternative."
The current Repair Café team include Richard Hudson from Simple PC Help, Verity Scott from Lace is More, Gordon Davies from Warminster Wobble group and Ken Carley from the Wildlife Trust.
Mrs Gale, who lives in Warminster, added: "We would like to thank our fantastic team who have given up their free time to help and also the library for very kindly donating the wonderful space."
Anyone who has a skill that they can offer the Warminster Repair Café should email email@example.com

Sprint will replace Budweiser as the sponsor of the season-opening race at Daytona beginning this year and change the name of the event from the Shootout to the Sprint Unlimited, Sprint and Daytona International Speedway announced Monday.
Street & Smith's SportsBusiness Journal first reported the new deal. Sprint, the title sponsor of NASCAR's top series, has signed a multiyear deal to sponsor the race, which will is set for Feb. 16 at 8 p.m., SBJ reported.

Sprint and Daytona International Speedway have yet to announce the format for this year's 75-lap race, which features pole winners from the previous year and previous winners of the event. The event will feature some new fan elements, however, including opportunities to serve as Grand Marshal, Honorary starter and trophy presenter.
The annual exhibition race kicks off Speedweeks each season and serves as a preview of the Daytona 500, NASCAR's biggest race.
Anheuser-Busch, which had sponsored the race for years through its Busch and Budweiser brands, is now the sponsor of the Budweiser Duels, replacing longtime sponsor Gatorade. The Duels are twin qualifying races that set the field for the Daytona 500.
Sprint, which also sponsors NASCAR's annual all-star race, was a natural replacement for Budweiser for the exhibition race, Daytona President Joie Chitwood said.
"Now more than ever, through our growing partnership with Sprint, The Sprint Unlimited will be the fans' race," Chitwood III said in a news release. "Sprint has been a great partner with Daytona and NASCAR, and they continue to raise the bar by engaging race fans in new and innovative ways. We look forward to hearing about additional unique elements for this race in the coming weeks."
Sprint is renaming the race the Sprint Unlimited to coincide with its marketing campaign for its unlimited data plans, SBJ reported.

I really love these probiotics. They are potent, but still very whole food based. I feel an enormous difference in my GI tract when I take them. Also, they're in glass, rather than plastic, which is meaningful to me. Only thing is, I ordered from another company before I ordered them from iHerb, and it took two weeks for my order to get to me. I'll only order them from iHerb, unless I'm buying them right from a store's cooler, because otherwise the lengthy shipping time could affect potency. From iHerb, they arrived at my door in about 36 hours, and I'm in Canada. Amazing. They should be refrigerated, so they're definitely not appropriate for most travel.

I have been using the product for only three weeks and my digestive system has changed for the better. I chose to try this product hoping to reduce the number of UTI infections that have plagued my life , and eliminate the use of antibiotics.
Very strong
Posted by iHerb Customer on Nov 16, 2015 | Verified Purchase
Though it should be delivered ice-packed, I still decided to make an international order, no ice and less potent. But it's still strong enough to make my digestion feel much better, even without refrigeration. And I tried Enzyme women at the same time, definitely incomparable to this one. So I'm gonna order again!

Carlton has joined the growing chorus of disenchanted clubs concerned at the detrimental effect Essendon's drug saga is having on the competition.
Incoming president Mark LoGiudice said he had until now left to Stephen Kernahan any talks between the clubs keen to bring forward a meeting of the presidents who wanted to confront the situation. But Kernahan's successor did not rule out approaching the AFL with his concerns.
''My view is that if it drags on to the point that it affects the brand of the AFL then we are all damaged,'' LoGiudice said. ''Has it gone on too long? Anything that affects the AFL brand is the time when we have an issue. I don't know what their legal strategy is and I don't know what their legal advice is but it becomes an issue when it affects the other clubs.''
However, LoGiudice distanced himself from the disappointment aired by Geelong president Colin Carter this week regarding the new equalisation measures.
Geelong will be charged a revenue tax of $300,000 next season, while the Blues face a comparative $290,000 hike. This compares with Collingwood's capped $500,000 tax.
''We shouldn't be worried about the $290,000 that Carlton is being taxed,'' LoGiudice said. ''We should be aiming to be a bigger and better club and pay $500,000 as well.''
And while the Blues remain a keen contender for Good Friday games into the future, LoGiudice said Carlton's focus next season was to push to play the season-opener against Richmond. That fixture is expected to fall on the eve of the holy day at the MCG.
''In an ideal world we'd like to play a blockbuster game every week,'' said LoGiudice, who said he would continue the club's push for more MCG home games. ''But we're focused on playing Richmond in the season-opener and we'd love to see that set in stone.''
