Energy Price Outlook
Oil prices have held within a roughly $2.50/bbl trading range in the past seven days since the initial post-election $4.27/bbl washout on Nov 7th. While the Israel/Gaza conflict has been supportive for the market, it has only been a factor in the last two days of last week. Given the inability to fall on negative news and now the bullish developments in the Middle East, it's tough to determine whether the next move in crude will be up or down. We still lean toward the downside in our bias, but it's very tentative. Pressure will be offered by high levels of oil inventories, an 18 1/2 year high in U.S. oil production, weakness in economic data, and weakness in the stock market. The bullish case rests on the inability to fall, as well as on the potential for escalation of the conflict in the Middle East.
The new front-month January WTI futures settled $1.05/bbl higher on Friday, with the expiration of the December contract helping out the front months. The oil market didn't seem to be concerned about the Middle East on Thursday as WTI fell 87 cents, but it certainty was on Friday. Crude traded slightly lower overnight as a cease fire took hold in the Middle East. A rally began at around 7:45 am EST when news of a long-range rocket headed for Tel Aviv broke and thus broke the cease fire. The rocket landed in the sea, but shortly thereafter, Israel announced that it had begun drafting 16,000 troops and could call up as many as 30,000. Iraq's representative to the Arab League said that oil should be used as a weapon, but the comments were dialed back shortly thereafter, possibly due to pressure from countries more friendly to the U.S. It's difficult to assess the potential impact of this on the oil market. The countries affected don't produce much oil, and Saudi Arabia could help by making up for any shortfalls. Additionally, the parties involved may be fearful of a repeat of the Israeli operation in Gaza in December 2008 where 1,100 Palestinians and 12 Israelis were killed.
Worries about the fiscal cliff added pressure to the market through the first half of the day, before a short press conference took place around 11:40 am EST. Congressional Leaders said at the briefing that talks were "constructive" and "productive." Harry Reid said he's not in favor of waiting until the end of the year. Economic advisor Gene Sperling suggested at a separate briefing that any fiscal deal would require "well over $1T in revenues." The statement may have been a softening of the approach Pres Obama took earlier in the week where he demanded $1.6T in new taxes. Sentiment following the 11:40 press briefing completely changed from what was witnessed earlier in the week. By the same token though, the Dow went from 71 points lower at its bottom to 46 points higher at the close. Prices are still 657 points below their pre-election close and signal that the market may still be re-pricing a higher tax and/or slower growth environment. That could weigh on energy markets as well.
Natural Gas
December futures ended 8.7 cents higher on Friday, with forecasts for below-normal temps in the eastern half of the U.S. over the next 11-15 days offering support. The forecast was made by Earthsat and was supported by NOAA's latest maps which shown the area of below-normal temps in the Southeast expanding compared to Thursday's map. Some support was also given by the CPC's long-range forecast which showed that temps in Dec-Jan-Feb may be below-normal in the northern plains and above normal in the south and southwest portions of the country. The outlook was colder than forecast previously, and caused heating demand expectations to be increased.
We discussed selling rallies in Friday's report near $3.90. This week's trade may seen an inventory build based on warmer temperatures that dominated, and push prices lower. However, the shift on Friday toward a colder dynamic could argue for the positive case at least by week's end if not sooner. We'd trade gas as a neutral affair during this week.
Global Economic & Dollar News
» A Cease Fire Proposed by Egypt was violated by militants in Gaza, who fired more rockets while the Egyptian prime minister was in the country. It lasted only three hours. Israel said it has begun drafting 16,000 troops and may call up as many as 30,000, which is a precursor to a possible invasion. The action has so far killed 22 Palestinians and 3 Israelis.
» Iraq's Representative to the Arab League said on Friday that Arab states should use oil as a weapon to put pressure on the United States and Israel over the attacks on Gaza. That statement was later dialed back a bit to say that no specific actions would be proposed.
» The Budget Sequester may be replaced with a short-term plan, according to White House officials.
» Economic Advisor Gene Sperling said that any fiscal deal would require "well over $1T in revenues." The statement may have been a softening of the approach Pres Obama took earlier in the week where he demanded $1.6T in new taxes.

EIA Inventory Preview
Whatever the result of Wednesday's inventory numbers is, the key indication will likely be the comparison of oil inventories with their five-year average. That increased to 44.33 MB above the average in last week's report, which was the highest in two years. We look for a decline this week that's in-line with the five-year average drop of 0.7 MB. The DOE's figure is still some 2.9 MB above that of the API, which will offer pressure, as will increased refinery output. Most refineries in the Northeast have ramped up to normal output levels with the exception of Hess's 70 kb/d and Phillips 66's 238 kb/d facilities. Hess began restarting late last week, while the latest on Phillips 66 is that a restart is expected between Nov 19th-26th. Some boosting effect on inventories could come from demand, where a slight pullback is possible after last week's surge. Demand will be difficult to predict, however, as reverberations from Sandy are still occurring. Gasoline demand should stabilize too, which could help stocks increase 1.0 MB this week. Gasoline imports could maintain a recovery from Sandy and show another increase. Distillate inventories typically show a decline this week before rebounding through year-end. That could certainly be the case again, as demand has already recovered in the wake of Sandy.

Grains Commentary
Published Friday morning, 11/16/12
Just when some thought it was safe to play in the pool again the Chinese announce a cancellation of 600.0mt of beans. The bean market has been pressed all night on this and trading down 20 as of 8CST, meal has lost $5-6, oil is down 40-50 points, corn is down 5-6 and wheat is down 2-3.
The announcement of the cancellation has not been confirmed and the weekly sales data this morning still shows 559.0mt of beans sold and 234.0mt of meal sold, both of these figures are better than expected. The reality is that somehow the Chinese have figured out a way to re-negotiate these contracts rather than outright cancel them. If there was truly cancellations they would have to be announced through the USDA at some point and remember earlier this week they actually purchased 120.0mt.
The weather in SA has pockets of concern but when planted acres are as massive as they are there will always be pockets of concern, in reality when one needs to dig deep to find a problem the problem probably is not that much of a concern and as of now this is what is taking place with SA weather. We would point out that it is still very early in the game and last season the concerns did not start until middle of December.
The basis levels continue to rise in both beans and corn as the river situation is very difficult to figure out. The big break in flat price will most likely keep movement slow and basis strong which will keep future spreads strong.
The OI in corn fell by 1809, wheat is up 1624, beans are up 562, meal is up 3179 and oil is down 881.
The outside markets are mixed with equities higher, crude oil is up .79, natural gas is down .01, RBOB is up 150, $index is stronger, cotton is up .16, gold is down $2, DCE is higher in beans and corn but lower in meal and oil, the Matif markets are lower in cornand rapeseed but wheat is higher and MDEX finished down 38 ringgits.
The option market has some interesting dynamics. The December options expire one week from today and even though volatility levels are not as interesting with only a few days left one must look at risk/reward. The WZ volatility is 19.5%; this is the lowest wheat volatility in 9 years and is now cheaper than corn, beans, meal and even bean oil. The CN skews seem very flat, this seems to favor buying calls selling puts with futures, though saying this, the future spreads have some big inverses still (CN-CZ13) and as history shows these either collapse or have a blow off top, and recently they have collapsed. Look to buy 2 CZ13 8 calls vs. selling 1 CN 8 call for even $ and have a small future spread length on against it, as we know on a big rally basis will collapse and the spreads should also fall apart. The bean structure is similar but intriguing on the downside as the SN puts are very low, look to own SN puts and use futures according to market view. The bean oil has a massive future short along and with all the discussion of Chinese crush margins being so bad it could mean they buy oil, could Jefferies actually be the Chinese buying 20k of the BOF calls?

Biographical Note
Samuel Calvin was born February 2, 1840, in Wigtownshire, Scotland. Calvin's parents immigrated to the United States in 1851, and lived first in New York, and then moved to Iowa in 1855. On April 30, 1864, he enlisted in the service of the Union Army, 44th Regiment of the Iowa Infantry Volunteers, as a private in Company C, for a period of 100 days. At the time of his enlistment, Mr. Calvin was working as a carpenter. On September 5, 1865, he married Mary Louise Jackson of Hopkinton, Iowa. They had one child, Alice, born in 1866.
Calvin took his M.A. degree at Cornell College in 1874, and his Ph.D. at Lenox College in 1888. He received the LL.D. degree at Cornell College in 1904. He was professor of Natural Sciences at Lenox College in Hopkinton from 1864 to 1869, and served as the principal of a Dubuque, Iowa, school from 1869 until 1873.
Calvin joined the faculty of the State University of Iowa in January 1874 as professor of Natural Science and curator of the University Cabinet. He was the first head of the SUI Geology Department, and served as geologist for the state of Iowa, with his focus on paleontology. His other areas of research and instruction were zoology and botany. In addition, he had a keen interest in environmental conservation, and was an accomplished photographer. Calvin made photographs of geological formations, as well as the architecture and people of the Iowa City area. Samuel Calvin died April 17, 1911.

Topic: Chemo Question
I am currently on Gemzar/Cisplatin. On my MD Anderson orders it says chemo should be 6 hours. Sometimes it is and sometimes it isn't. I have talked to my local oncologist about it before after it only taking 4 hours and he said he would talk to infusion and he did and it went back to being 6. Then last time it was bak to only 4. Expressed my concern to the Dr. This time and he said t s fine that it doesn't matter. For anyone else on this same regimen, what's your thought on this? It concerns me. If MDA says hours I think I should be a chemo for 6 hours not 4.

You hear your neighbor's 9-month-old baby crying a lot and it sounds like he's not being comforted. Since you don't have a close relationship with the parents, is there anything you can do?
Dear Miriam,
We hear our 9-month-old neighbor crying a lot. It sounds painful, like he's not being comforted or listened to enough. I could be projecting, but I trust my instincts, and his cry really pulls at my heart strings. We don't have a close relationship with his parents so it seems like we can't play a role here, but I'm just not sure what to do. The only mediocre idea I have is to bake them muffins. Perhaps a little carb love will open their hearts a bit more. We need all the love we can get, right?
Curb the Crying with Carbs?
Dear Carbs,
Whenever I've been self-conscious about having a crying baby, I've been told that it sounds a lot worse to me than it does to anyone else. If that's true, then the parents next door must be going through a terrible time. A baby's crying can mean a lot of things. There's the typical hungry, tired or wet trifecta. There's also the "my parents are trying to sleep train me so they can live through another day" cry, the "I have colic/reflux/some other unexplained something" cry, my new favorite, the "my older sibling is trying to help me by poking my eyes out" cry, and, sadly, as you allude to, the "no one's paying attention to me" cry.
If the crying is happening twice a day (naps) plus nighttime, I would attribute it to sleep training and assume that it will gradually get better. If it's more constant, I agree that there's likely something else going on. Maybe you could start by trying to get to know the parents a little bit better. Say hello when you see them. Ask them how things are going in a casual, non-accusatory sort of way. If you want to put yourself out there a little more, offer to babysit for an hour so they can go get a cup of coffee together. Or, as you already thought of, do something kind and non-invasive like bringing them muffins.
If you offer to do any of these things, do so because you think it will ease some of the burden on these new parents, not because you want a glimpse into their home to see if something untoward is going on. If you truly think they are neglecting their child, then you have a different and not just neighborly sort of obligation. Child Protective Services exist for a reason, but if you go down that path, there can be real and irreversible consequences.
A more moderate approach could be to compile a list of resources like social service agencies, post-partum counselors, parent-child workshops and support groups and slip it under their door. It may or may not make a difference, and it may or may not make them paranoid that their neighbors are annoyed by the crying. If you include a note that says, "Please don't worry about disturbing the neighbors. We just want to make sure you're doing O.K.," that might lessen the potential negative consequences. Good luck with a difficult situation, and good for you for wanting to help. Here's hoping the baby, the parents and you all get a good night's sleep soon.
Be well,

Scores killed in fresh Iraq violence
Two car bombs went off nearly simultaneously in a Shiite area of Baghdad on Monday, killing at least eight and injuring dozens, police and hospital officials said. The first car was parked near a repair shop on the edge of the Shiite slum of Sadr City blew up. Minutes later, a suicide car bomber drove into the crowd that had gathered near the site.
Officials at hospitals where the victims were taken said at least eight people were killed and 41 wounded.
In the northern city of Kirkuk, meanwhile, a suicide truck bomb struck a Kurdish political office, killing four people and wounding seven, police said, according to the AP.
Gunmen also ambushed a bus in the predominantly Sunni neighborhood of Amariyah in western Baghdad, killing six passengers, including a woman, and the driver, police Capt. Jamil Hussein said.
Elsewhere, a roadside bomb struck a police patrol near a restaurant in eastern Baghdad, wounding three policemen, police Lt. Ahmed Qassim said. A police patrol in the predominantly Shiite city of Hillah, about 60 miles south of Baghdad, also hit a roadside bomb, leaving one policeman dead and four wounded, army Capt. Hassim al-Khafaji said.
In another development, police said they uncovered five unidentified bodies in Suwayrah, 25 miles south of Baghdad. The bodies of five men also were found in Kut, 100 miles southeast of the capital, police Lt. Fikrat Mohammed said.

text: I have just recently developed some extra D in my backhand drive, so I have been practicing that throw quite often lately. After today's session, I noticed a fairly large blister appear where the disc rips off of my pointer finger. If it helps, I am throwing with a Climo grip. Any ideas on how to prevent blistering from the disc tearing off?

After reading Jim Hall's "Gun Violence Solution" in the March 7 Record-Bee I think he is really on to something.
I do not think his suggestion, to tax gun owners, would stop insane people from killing others, however.
The lunatics that want to kill have many weapons to choose from and the last thing they will worry about is breaking a tax law.
But our President keeps saying we need more revenue and not just reduced spending to solve our economic woes, and Mr. Hall has the answer.
We in America have an abundance of freedoms and rights, let's tax all of them. Jim's idea of taxing guns can be very lucrative. It is estimated we own more than 300 million guns, at his lowest suggested amount that would provide about $3 billion to help restore critical services we lost from the recent sequester.
And that is only the start, we can tax our freedom of speech.
With all the opinions and demonstrations we see for and against everything across the country, we are witnessing a virtual gold mine of opportunity.
The tax could be low, maybe only $100 for an anti-war demonstration in San Francisco's Golden Gate Park.
Freedom of Religion would be another lucrative opportunity. These fees should be usage-based, so we do not punish those who are not exercising this freedom.
It gets pretty exciting when you consider all of the freedoms and rights we have in this wonderful country.
The revenue would be significant and would probably go a long way toward paying the costs of the government effort needed to collect the fees and ensure that no one gets away with exercising their freedoms without paying.

Volstad has successful return to relief work
DENVER -- Before Wednesday night, the last time Rockies right-hander Chris Volstad pitched in relief was his Major League debut on July 6, 2008, for the Marlins against the Rockies at Coors Field.
His return to relief pitching turned out well.
Wednesday in Milwaukee, Volstad entered with a two-run lead in the seventh inning and gave up a run on a Ryan Braun RBI double. But he finished the inning by striking out Aramis Ramirez -- a hitter who had plenty of previous success against him -- on a 3-2 curveball to end the inning. The Rockies later pulled away for a 7-3 victory.
Volstad, who was a starter for the Marlins and the Cubs before joining the Rockies this winter, relies on his sinker, and Colorado believes that pitch works better in short spurts. But the strikeout of Ramirez, who is 6-for-18 against Volstad in his career, demonstrated that he can mix pitches.
"My first one was my very first appearance in the big leagues, and I hadn't done it since then," Volstad said. "I just try to make good pitches and treat it like any other inning."

Category: baby nameMatilda
Usually, when baby names are related, the resemblance is pretty obvious. For example, Christopher's foreign versions include Christophe and Christos and his short form is Chris; Patricia is otherwise known as Patrizia or Patrice, Pat or Patty.
But this isn't always the case. Alexander might be Alistair to his Scottish cousins, Sasha to his friends.
This can come in handy if you're looking for an invisible (to non-nerds) or at least indirect route to honoring a namesake. Ways you can do this include finding an interesting but accessible international variation, or an unexpected nickname that can be used on its own, or a mythological, biblical, or other name switch, or dual identity.

Two men broke into a "brothel" robbed and stripped the owner and her male companion before leaving with his trousers and making a getaway in his car, a court heard.
The victim, who runs an escort agency in Wallington, was in her flat with two friends, Rishi Navjee, and a female friend, at 8pm on October 25, 2013, when she opened the front door thinking it was another friend.
Two men, Cameron Wylie, 28, of Rectory Lane, Wallington, and Russell Stowell, 34, of Guy Road, Wallington, entered the flat demanding money, Croydon Crown Court heard today.
Prosecutor Shekinah Anson said: "Two men barged into the flat past the victim into the lounge. One carrying a beer and the other a bottle of whiskey.
"One man started shouting 'where's the money' while searching the flat. The victim tried to run out of the flat but she was pulled back by her hair. She was pulled back by one who was more aggressive, the crown say this was Mr Wylie.
"They continued to search the flat. The victim was grabbed by the throat and a man shouted that she should take her clothes off. Mr Stowell grabbed her top and pulled it down and grabbed her breasts and tried to kiss them."
While this was going on, the court heard Mr Wylie searched Mr Navjee, told him to strip, took his car keys and asked him where his wallet was.
The men then took the mobile phones on the table and Mr Navjee's wallet and trousers.
The court was shown CCTV images taken from the entrance of the flat which the prosecutor argued shows Mr Wylie and Mr Stowell, who wore the man's trousers over his shoulder, leaving.
After the men left the police were called.
The men were caught on CCTV, at about 3.30am, filling up Mr Navjee's car at the BP petrol station in Shirley. The car's number plate was given to police and it triggered a camera in Brixton Hill. Officers went to search for the car and found it parked up with Cameron Wylie sitting in the driver's seat.
In court he was described as smelling of alcohol, having glazed eyes and being unsteady on his feet.
He was arrested and police officers searching the car found the stolen mobile phones and a wallet containing cards with Mr Navjee's name on it.
On interview Mr Wylie denied going to the address, robbing anyone and touching anyone's breasts. He said on the evening in question a friend had to take the car to Brixton and asked if he wanted to follow him. He stated he did not know whose car it was but had an idea it was something 'dodgy'. He told police officers he did not want to steal as he earns £200 a day, the court heard.
Stowell was arrested on October 27 in Sutton and Miss Anson added: "He admitted being at the address and stated it was a brothel and they had gone there for sex.
"He stated Cameron had paid his money but at some point, he was in another room, when they were asked to leave out of the blue, I think.
"Cameron was asking for money back and they wouldn't give it to them – that's what started Cameron shouting that he wanted his money back.
"[Mr Stowell] stated it was the complainant who was the one doing the pushing saying 'get out, get out'.
"Mr Stowell said he got into the car but didn't know it was stolen. In essence he said the witnesses were lying through their teeth. That they, in effect, did not have any clothes on when they arrived – apart from underwear – and he said that he didn't know how the male had got his trousers stolen. He didn't know he had the trousers across his shoulders.
"But he was 100 per cent sure he didn't rob anyone, didn't burgle anyone and didn't sexually assault anyone. He went there for sex and was going to pay £60."
During the identity parade the victim identified Mr Wylie as the one who grabbed her throat, asked where the money was, punched Mr Navjee and took his trousers. She then identified Mr Stowell as the person who assaulted her.
When asked about the identity parade Mr Stowell claimed she had identified him because he had been at the address a week and a half ago when he had gone there for sex.
Mr Wylie and Mr Stowell deny three counts of robbery. Mr Stowell also denies one count of sexual assault.
The victim is expected to give evidence tomorrow behind a screen.

It's almost been a year since my dad passed away from cc and 3 years since my mom's passing. Today was a bittersweet day as we closed on my parents' home and it is now someone else's house. The new owner loves it and I know she will take good care of it. Her favorite is a side garden my mom so wanted and my dad made for her.

The Lost Rolling Stones Photographs: The Bob Bonis Archive, 1964-1966
A revealing look at the earliest days of the legendary band, captured in a collection of personal, never-before-seen photographs—the largest single trove of such important rock images ever uncovered When they first came to America in June of 1964, The Rolling Stones had been together for only two years and were almost completely unknown to U.S. audiences. They often played on bills with a variety of other artists, not necessarily as the headlining act, and often received lukewarm receptions. Many of these earliest U.S. shows did not sell out. But in the years that Bob Bonis photographed them, The Stones went from unknowns to one of the most prominent bands in the world. Documented in these photos is this seminal period when The Sto

Classic lines joined by new ones from the relaunch...
San Diego Comic-Con coverage brought to you by Tonner, Collectibles Insurance, and Big Bad Toy Store.
DC Comics had a huge presence at this year's Comic-Con, partly to promote and discuss the comics relaunch coming next month. Of course, their DC Direct branch was also there to show off all of the cool new toys and statues coming soon! We checked out their panel to get the full scoop.
Coinciding with the current major comic book event is the Flashpoint figure line, based on the original character drawings by Andy Kubert. Series 1 is in stores now, and consists of the Flash, Batman, Wonder Woman, and Cyborg. Joining them was the SDCC exclusive Zoom figure (see HERE), if you were lucky enough to get your hands on one. DC is also offering Flashpoint-themed shirts through Graphitti Designs. The panel was the world premiere of prototypes and images of a new line of Justice League figures based on the relaunch designs, and they looked great! Designed by Jim Lee himself, the initial waves will include Superman, Batman, Green Lantern, Wonder Woman, Flash, and Aquaman. Look for the first figures to hit shelves in August of next year.
Batman continues to dominate the video game scene, and DC Direct's Arkham Asylum figures series 1 are currently sold out! So don't hesitate if you happen to find them. Series 2 (featuring armored Batman, Bane, and Poison Ivy) is currently available. Figures will be made for the sequel as well, Batman Arkham City, and we got to see the first one of Harley Quinn. The DC Universe Online game is spawning figures as well, also designed by Jim Lee. Series 1 (Batman, Cyborg, Wonder Woman, Catwoman) debuts in March, while a Series 2 including Green Lantern and Flash will arrive in the Spring.
On the statue front, DC Direct is plumbing many of DC's properties. From the upcoming Green Lantern animated series will be maquettes: Hal Jordan in March and Atrocitus in May. Batman Black and White is DC Direct's longest running statue series and shows no signs of letting up. Featuring the Dark Knight in monochrome by different artists, upcoming releases include Dustin Nguyen's version in August, Cliff Chiang in October, Pat Gleason in December, MAD's Sergio Aragones in January, and a variant re-release of Mike Mignola (with a new base) in February. Premiered for the first time were images of Sam Kieth's Batman for May and Sean "Cheeks" Galloway's coming soon!
The sexy ladies of DC Comics appear in the Cover Girls line, designed by Adam Hughes. Out now are Hawkgirl and Armored Wonder Woman, with Starfire coming in November, Raven in January, and Death in April. The Women of the DC Universe line, designed by Amanda Conner, is also continuing with Supergirl in September and Zatanna in November, while the men get the Heroes of the DC Universe line (designed by Gary Frank) with Swamp Thing in January and Batman in April. The Classic Confrontations line adds a really-cool looking comic version of Green Lantern vs. Parallax in March. Ame-Comi continues as well, with White Canary and Black Flash in February, white and red Ravens in April, Wonder Woman as Star Sapphire in June, and Wonder Woman v3 and Big Barda in August. A quick shot previewed an upcoming Hawkgirl as well!
On the lighter side, DC Direct is bringing back the MAD Just Us Leage of Stupid Heroes featuring Alfred E. Neumann as your favorite heroes. Each new series offers repaints of two classic figures plus one new one. Series 1 in May re-offers Batman and Robin, with an all-new Joker. Summer 2012 brings back Superman and Flash with a new Wonder Woman and the Fall will see Green Arrow and Green Lantern with a new Aquaman. MAD is also the inspiration for a line of Spy Vs. Spy vinyl figures (also known as "Spy-nyls"). Both white and black versions are slate for June, and DC Direct is considering offering black versions that you can customize.

Jennifer Lopez Covers PEOPLE, Has 'No Regrets' About Changes in Her Life
Jennifer Lopez made some sweeping changes in her gold-plated life in the past year-plus.
She split with hubby and baby daddy Marc Anthony. She left the 'American Idol' judging panel after a two-year run. She took up with a dancer nearly 20 years her junior.
But when you look and feel as good as J. Lo, you have no regrets, and that's just what she says in her new PEOPLE cover, where she is youthfully yet glam thanks to stick straight hair, blunt bangs and a fuzzy blue cardigan.
La Lopez confessed that "I don't regret those things – that's who I am" about her public romances and very public lifestyle. She have lived and learned, saying, "But at least now I'm at a point where I have to recognize that these choices and things that happen are partly because of me and my decisions and I have to be more careful. So I am being more careful."
Lopez, 43, says that when she and Anthony decided to go their separate ways after seven years of marriage and twins, she was socked in the gut by that awful "whole world fell apart" feeling.
She quickly rebounded with Casper Smart, her choreographer, who is 25. He was the salve her heart needed to mend.
"I just got out of a big, heavy, devastating thing, and he's helped me heal," Lopez confessed. "He's been there for me."
Can we get an "Awww!!!?"
But make no mistake. The media savvy Lopez is acutely aware that the media raises its eyebrows over her romance. She even finds herself asking Smart why he doesn't get himself a girlfriend closer to his own age. But in the end, their love wins out.
"I ask him, 'Why don't you go find a young girlfriend and get out of here? What do you want with me?,'" she revealed. "And you think, 'How long is this gonna be?' You think, 'Okay, in 10 years I'm going to be like this and you're going to be like that' and men at that age are … I think all different things. The truth is we don't know what's going to happen. We're loving this moment right now. We make each other happy."
Can we get another "Awww!!!?"
In the accompanying video interview, Lopez, who rocks blunt bangs like the kind we recently saw on Beyonce, said that she left 'Idol' to get back to movies. She missed that part of her job. Even though she loved the show and the people who worked on it, it was time to move on.
"It was a hard decision," she said, acknowledging that people thought she was playing with the media as she flip-flopped when discussing her possible return. She insists she wasn't.
"It was not about money," she says, especially when it comes to your heart and art. "I always feel the money will come."
That's easy for her to say.

Add Style and Comfort to your Veterinary Office
Take a look around your veterinary office, what do you see? Is the waiting area calm and welcoming, or does it have a stark white, sterile aesthetic? If your office falls into the latter category and you are looking to make it more inviting, here are a few ideas to get you pointed in the right direction.
One simple change that can affect the overall appeal of the waiting area is changing the wall colors. The effect of color on mood has been widely studied, and many medical facilities now use colors associated with calmness to create a peaceful environment for patients. A similar approach can be taken to create a serene atmosphere for pet owners in veterinary waiting rooms and even exam rooms. Generally, cool colors such as blue, green and gray are considered soothing.
Another way you can improve the atmosphere of a stark veterinary office is to incorporate a theme into the décor, and carry it throughout the office. Compelling visuals in the waiting area will give pet owners an interesting focal point while they wait. For instance, a nature theme may include a wall mural of a forest and a nature inspired color scheme. Or, you could showcase patients and their owners in framed photos adorned with a thank you message or other sentiment from the pet owner. Another veterinary office décor option is to add character by displaying antique veterinary supplies. If you are going with a theme, choose colors, fixtures and accessories that align with the theme. Adhering to a common style throughout the office will help create a cohesive look and feel.
Functionality should be built into your plan for creating an inviting feel in a veterinary office. Ensure adequate space in the waiting area so that pets in different parties can be separated if necessary. Dividing the area into separate spaces if possible is an idea to consider. Also consider the functionality of the materials you use in the waiting area, such as benches or chairs that are conducive to thorough cleaning and sanitation. Hard seating surfaces may be better for a veterinarian office than cushioned seating.
Visiting the veterinarian can be a stressful experience for owners who have sick or injured pets. A calming environment in the waiting area and examination rooms can make for a more pleasant experience for guests. Whether you are simply sprucing up tired décor or undertaking a complete office overhaul, aim to create a peaceful setting that has style as well as functionality.

WSDOT to close some I-405 lanes in Kirkland and Bothell on Saturday night
Construction crews will begin removing trees next week in the I-405 median just north of the Northeast 128th Street exit. The tree removal is needed to build an additional lane in each direction of I-405 for a dual express toll lane system between Bellevue to Bothell.
Crews will recycle the trees within the project area and will replant new trees and shrubs where possible before the project is complete.
Drivers should watch for night-time I-405 lane closures in Kirkland and Bothell, starting at 9 p.m. on Saturday, as part of the Bellevue to Lynnwood Express Toll Lanes Project.
Crews will close up to three lanes of northbound I-405 between Northeast 85th Street and Northeast 160th Street, as well as the on-ramps to northbound I-405 at Northeast 128th Street and Northeast 160th Street, and the northbound I-405 off ramps to Northeast 160th Street and SR 522.
All ramps and lanes will reopen by 9 a.m. Sunday.
The work is needed to make room for a new temporary on-ramp at Northeast 160th.

The Giant Pangolin (Manis gigantea) is the largest species of pangolin, or "scaly anteaters"- the large, scaled nocturnal mammals belonging to the Manidae family. The giant pangolin has the largest concentrations in Uganda, Tanzania, and western Kenya. It is found mainly in the savannas, rainforests, and forests, inhabiting areas with large termite populations and available water. Giant pangolins do not inhabit high-altitude areas.
The species has large, armored scales and no hair except for the eyelashes. Giant pangolins have long snouts, a long and thick tail, large front claws, and a strong sense of smell. By using its tail for balance, giant pangolins will often walk upright as a biped!
Factors such as habitat destruction, deforestation, and bushmeat hunting have caused a significant decline in the species' numbers.

Dear Marinmommy, I am very sorry to hear about your Dad. Could the noise you hear possibly be the chest rattle? Breathing becomes irregular. A loud, deep breath is followed by a pause of not breathing, five seconds to a minute, before a loud, deep breath resumes and again slowly peters out. Sometimes excessive secretions create loud, gurgling breaths that some people call a "death rattle." This breathing or loud rattle can be alarming, but the patient is unaware. Oxygen can give comfort. And there is now a patch that can bring that noise down.Be calm, stroke the arm, speak softly. On the pain issue it cannot hurt to give him meds if needed, as the body starts shutting down so will the pain. Hearing is the last thing to go so talk to him and let him know you love him. You also might want to tell him that it is ok to go to his peace, this helps release him and you as well. My prayers go out to your family.
10 Signs Death Is Near
1. Loss of appetite. May refuse meals. Near the very end, one may be unable to swallow. Don't force-feed; follow the person's cues. Offer ice chips, a popsicle, or sips of water.
2. Excessive fatigue and sleep. May sleep most of the day and night, and become difficult to wake up. Permit sleep. Avoid jostling the person awake. Assume everything you say can be heard, the sense of hearing is thought to persist, even when unconscious.
3. Increased physical weakness. A decline in food intake and leads to less energy.
4. Mental confusion or disorientation. Organs begin to fail, including the brain. The person may not be aware where he/or she is or who else is there, may speak less often, may respond to people who can't be seen, may be confused about time, or pick at bed linens. Remain calm and reassuring. Speak softly, and identify yourself.
5. Labored breathing. Breathing becomes irregular. A loud, deep breath is followed by a pause of not breathing, five seconds to a minute, before a loud, deep breath resumes and again slowly peters out. Sometimes excessive secretions create loud, gurgling breaths that some people call a "death rattle." This breathing or loud rattle can be alarming, but the patient is unaware. If there's a lot of phlegm, allow it to drain from the mouth. Oxygen can give comfort. Be calm, stroke the arm, speak softly.
6. Social withdrawal. As the body shuts down, they may gradually lose interest in those nearby. He/she may stop talking or mumble, stop responding to questions, or turn away. Before receding socially for the last time, the patient sometimes surprises loved ones with an unexpected burst of alertness. This can last less than an hour or up to a full day. Maintain a physical presence by touching the patient and continue to talk, without demanding anything back. Treasure an alert interlude if it occurs, as it's always fleeting.
7. Changes in urination. Little going in means little coming out. Dropping blood pressure, part of the dying process, also contributes to the kidneys shutting down. Loss of bladder and bowel control may happen late in the process.
8. Swelling in the feet and ankles. As the kidneys are less able to process bodily fluids sometimes the extremities take on a swollen appearance.
9. Coolness of the fingers and toes. In the hours/minutes before death, blood circulation draws back from the periphery of the body. As this happens, the hands, feet, fingers, toes become cooler. Nail beds may look more pale. A warm blanket can keep the person comfortable, or they may be oblivious. The person may complain about the weight of coverings on the legs, so keep them loose.
10. Mottled veins. Skin that had been pale develops a distinctive pattern of mottling. This is from reduced blood circulation. It may be seen first on the soles of the feet.

In this groundbreaking new work, Mark Booth embarks on an enthralling intellectual tour of our world's secret histories. Starting from a dangerous premise - that everything we've been taught about our world's past is corrupted, and that the stories put forward by the various cults and mystery schools throughout history are true - Booth produces nothing short of an alternate history of the past 3,000 years.
History is more than a list of things that have happened; it's a measure of consciousness and experience. And in The Secret History of the World, Booth's take on history is relentless, charging through time and space and thought in interdisciplinary fashion. Embracing cognitive science, religion, psychology, historiography, and philosophy, he draws a new timeline, and a huge swath of our cultural heritage that has long been hidden is restored. From Greek and Egyptian mythology to Jewish folklore, from Christian cults to Freemasons, from Charlemagne to Don Quixote, from George Washington to Hitler - Booth shows without a doubt that history as we know it needs a revolutionary rethink, and he has 3,000 years of hidden wisdom to back it up.

"A unique perspective"
As as an author and student of esoteric history myself, I wasn't really expecting to learn anything new from this book, but I was happily surprised. What Mark Booth accomplished so deftly was the the tying together of the long and divergent aspects of the secret history of the world into a single, coherent story about the evolution of consciousness. And his observations about the importance of certain historical figures were sometimes quite stunning. I'm a non-believer, and while I've always thought of Jesus as a charismatic man, great teacher, and someone crucial to the history of civilization, Booth's assertion that he was pivotal in the evolution of human psychology -- being the first person to espouse the virtue of an individual loving one's fellow man -- hit me like a brick. Likewise, I've always been peeved at Freud for his male-centric theories, but Mark Booth points out that Freud introduced the world to the notion of the subconscious. Suddenly these two figures (as well as several others) assumed their rightful positions in the evolution of human thought. This book is jam-packed with facts and is sometimes a bit dense, but it's never dull. I suggest if you start feeling bogged down, skip ahead a little. You'll surely find yourself immersed in something fascinating in the next chapter. The reader, John Lee, has a very cultured British accent. I liked it very much.
"Very Intriguing"
I almost didn't buy this book based on the negative reviews. I'm pleased I ignored the reviews. This book is Captivating and Thought Provoking! I Highly recommend it to "Truth Seekers" everywhere. Loved it!
Learn, understand, then decide whether you accept or reject.
"Pretty little secrets"
The audiobook starts off with a highly unusual story of creation, providing some unconventional versions of the story of creation as presented in the Bible. It goes on to integrate classical mythology, spirituality and eventually, a not-so-secret "secret society" testimony on how the world got to where it is.
It doesn't shy away from attacking conventional norms about human life and nature, which could upset plenty of people. All in all, it is worth listening to if you want to know what some people secretly believe. Mileage may vary.
"Brilliant, Though Slightly Flawed"
The author has provided a thouroughly well researched history of esoterica, but you might find he's occassionally drawing unfounded conclusions unless you have a background in this subject.
He argues this topic as a polemic. He wants to convince the reader of his point of view, which is extremely well done, but rationally off the mark in a few areas. I'm going to make a few leaps here myself that people will not understand unless they are well versed in Gnosticism.
First, he argues for a "Mind First, Matter Second" perspective on our universe. This is a clear understanding of Mystery School dualism, but it makes the same mistakes they did, as well. To leap to the end of it all, here it is: The Infinite. It shook up the Mystery Schools pretty well, too. Once the infinite is proved, this dualsim is made moot. Mind and Matter are ultimately one thing.
Materialism is once again useful in an infinite and perfect universe. Infinite perfection is rationalized by Descartes, proven geometrically by the Reiman Sphere and the resultant infinite dualities are resolved via a Helgelian dialectical operation which uses the Golden Mean as the constant.
I wrote a book on this topic and it's available at Amazon for your Kindle. Search for my name: Russell Martocci if you would like to know more of my thinking on this topic.
Lots of information from an original viewpoint.
Listened to it several times.
I wish I could hear more from this author on any of the many threads that this book leads to.
"History told as a struggle between Idealism & Materialism"
Did mind come before matter or matter before mind? The author suggests a secret history running through esoteric traditions and secret societies which has influenced some of the worlds greatest thinkers. These thinkers, he asserts, have adopted the philosophy of Idealism, famously set forth by Plato, in which the world is mental or comprised of consciousness.
The work is a heroic attempt to synthesize thousands of years of permutations of such a philosophy up to the present day and to do so in such a way that is easily digestible to a modern reader. This attempt requires the author at moments to paint with a broad strokes pointing readers in directions for their own, later research.
An interesting read for those interested in examining modern materialism, esoteric Christianity, kabbalistic thought, truths hidden in plain sight in our myths & architecture and how materialism has influenced the origins aims of secret societies.
First, if you are the author and you are reading this review...thank you sincerely. An amazing book and most appreciated. It has answered questions I have had all my life and put me on a path that I have looked for a long time.
Second...when I read some of these reviews I am a little suspicious because it sounds like they never even read the book. I had to look twice to make sure I was on the right page. It sounds like they are talking about a some other book entirely. Yes, you probably do need to have some depth and have some degree of intellect to appreciate the amazing work written and the research done.
"This was mind blowing!"
Lots of great information although a bit dry in the beginning. Definitely worth finishing. I would highly recommend this to anyone interested in esoteric philosophy and some of history's greatest contribution in ways not formally written about in historical text. I have lots of follow on research to do! :-)
"Amazing book!"
An incredible tale that opens your eyes to the hidden history of the world we live in.
author of the historic novel 'Fort Ross'
"Just great!!!!"
It's really a great journey through the spirituality of a humankind. I was reluctant to buy, at first, due to all those negative reviews on the Amazon. But, I am glad I bought it. Mark Booth did a magnificent job in research and study of the subject. But what is more important, he is so confident in his knowledge, that his explanation is very logic and will considered.
Not for everybody, of course. As we live in a country of a radical Christianity, I wouldn't recommend that book for those, who still believe that human history began 7 thousand years ago... You are simply not ready. In your next incarnation, may be...

Loose Cannon: League of Prosperity
by, 08-22-2013 at 04:10 PM (2655 Views)
Ladies and gentlemen; welcome to another edition of Loose Cannon. In my last blog entry; I informed the EWN readers about Night of Bloggers 2013 in which will be an interesting development to say the least. In this blog; I will blogging about the league of Prosperity. This article will be devoted to us the EWN readers and bloggers who do not have so much freedom on this sight. This is basically a rant of what the "higher powers" should change and put into affect on this website. Hopefully this rant does not bother anyone on this website; just a blogger who wants change in the development of this website. Without further anticipation; welcome to the the show that is devoted for the fans, for the fans, and forever for the fans; welcome to Loose Cannon.
I read many intriguing blogs on this website daily. Whether it is Coffee Talk or What Really Grinds my Gears; I believe these blogs should be given more credit on this website. One of my few ideas were acknowledging these blogs on Loose Cannon; but I think it should be elevated to a point; a point of prosperity. Unfortunately; we get blogs from Joe Burgett which are good not to say the least but we the people want something out of the ordinary and the column section/blog section is not cutting it. We the bloggers should be good enough to have a blog published on the main page/news section but are overlooked countless times by Mr.Burgett blogs. As Kylos would note that really grinds my gears. Every week I read an exceptional blogs but they have little notice because of latest headlines. It is stircly obnoxious of the website to treat it's bloggers in this way. A few months ago; we had no column section in the News Section but we have one know by the same blogger.
For the EWN staff; here is an idea. Why do you not post the best blog of the week on the main page and acknowledge it! Instead of the reporters links which is a bunch of BS; there should be a little acknowledgement section acknowledging blog entry by myself, Kylos, Dashing Rachel, etc. It will get rid of the BS and bring the best out of the bloggers as they make improvements in their blogs to make it to the main page/news section weekly.
The next topic has been eluding this website for many years now. The idea of not keeping the readers interesting into the site. After reading the blogs and forums; we need a broader approach at the readers. An idea might be letting readers post there own videos about a certain topic; maybe in the video section that has repeat videos from WWE and Bleacher Report.
EWN take a Bleacher Report approach. For many years; I always wanted to see a information video from reporters such as Ryan Clark. We get the misconception of this reporter and he should make videos about lots of topics like Big Nasty on Bleacher Report. For many of you reading and thinking I am a Bleacher Report fan; I am just giving suggestions because it would be awesome to see the website with videos like Bleacher Report; that can be put in the Video section.
I will say it right now; I dislike reporter's links. It had been eluding this website since it's conception and it cannot get worse by day and day out. EWN scrape the reporters link as it has many false ads such as "the return of Evolution" (a fan boy dream; right!) and "Undertaker will not wrestler at Wrestlemania 30." It is the reporter's links that mess up the experience on EWN and should be replaced by advertisements of blog entries; as I explained before.
Speculation. Everytime I hear that word; it really grinds my gears and it reminds me of EWN. In the news section; we are eluded or lured into believing that Christian will win the WHC at Summerslam. We also get the same BS "at this time, creative plans can change." I do not know what it is; will the website flourish if they get one more read because luring your readers into a article is not helping the website but destroying it.
Now you ask yourself; what is too be done about these problems. I have listed all my suggestions but it is up to the "higher power" to deal with the problems on EWN.
On the next edition of Loose Cannon; why *SPOILERS* are ruining the basis of Wrestling.

Oreo Cheesecake Cupcakes
Oreo cheesecake = YUM! These little cupcakes are perfect because they're cheesecake with Oreo chunks in them and even an extra Oreo at the bottom. I love that you can actually see the Oreo at the bottom through these cupcake liners.
This recipe comes from Martha Stewart's cupcake cookbook and it doesn't disappoint. These were a big hit which is no surprise. I left my chunks fairly large in the cheesecake batter because that's how I roll. Feel free to chop yours up smaller if you want. (Sorry for the lack of photos, these were so good we started gobbling them up as soon as they were chilled).
One Year Ago: Brownie Pops
See all of my Week Of Oreo Recipes here.
Yield: 30
42 cream-filled sandwich cookies, such as Oreos, 30 left whole, and 12 coarsely chopped
2 pounds cream cheese, room temperature
1 cup sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
4 eggs, room temperature, lightly beaten
1 cup sour cream
Pinch of salt
Preheat oven to 275 degrees. Line standard muffin tins with paper liners. Place 1 whole cookie in the bottom of each lined cup.
With an electric mixer on medium high speed, beat cream cheese until smooth, scraping down sides of bowl as needed. Gradually add sugar, and beat until combined. Beat in vanilla.
Drizzle in eggs, a bit at a time, beating to combine and scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed. Beat in sour cream and salt. Stir in chopped cookies by hand.
Divide batter evenly among cookie-lined cups, filling each almost to the top. Bake, rotating pan halfway through, until filling is set, about 22 minutes. Transfer to wire racks to cool completely. Refrigerate at least 4 hours (or up to overnight). Remove from tins just before serving.

What is vesting?
Vesting occurs when you acquire ownership. Does your employer offer a retirement savings plan such as a 401(k), traditional pension, or profit-sharing plan? Did you receive a stock option grant as a year-end bonus? These employee benefits and others like them are often tied to a timeline known as a vesting schedule. The vesting schedule determines when you acquire full ownership of the benefit.
For example, your employer grants you 10,000 stock options as a thank-you for a job well done, but it may not be time to go mansion shopping just yet. The options may not actually be yours until you're vested. If the options are subject to a vesting schedule, you don't actually own the right to exercise your options until some time in the future. Some stock option plans allow for immediate vesting, while others may delay vesting. Consider these three alternatives for a four-year vesting schedule:
- 25 percent each year
- 50 percent in years two and four
- 100 percent in year four
In addition, there are two commonly followed vesting schedules for employer-matching contributions to a 401(k) or other plan:
- Cliff vesting: This provides no vested benefit until the third year. After three years of employment, you reach the "edge of the cliff," or vest 100 percent.
- Graded vesting: This provides no vested benefit until year two. For each additional year that you remain with your employer, your benefits vest 20 percent each year. Under this schedule, you'll be 100 percent vested if you remain with your employer for six years.
Keep in mind that if your employer follows the 100 percent in year-three vesting schedule, you'll need to stay with your employer for three years before you are vested. Of course, any personal contributions that you make to your employer's savings plan are automatically fully vested and remain yours no matter how long you stay with the employer.
To find out about your employer's vesting schedule, check with your manager or human resources representative, or read your summary plan description.

Winchester's 815th Mayor Making ceremony to take place at the Guildhall
4:40pm Tuesday 3rd June 2014
4:40pm Tuesday 3rd June 2014
WINCHESTER'S 815th mayor Cllr Eileen Berry is set to be formally installed tomorrow night.
The office is one of the oldest mayoralties in England, dating back to when the city was the nation's capital.
Tomorrow evening the annual Mayor Making ceremony will held at The Guildhall, during which the outgoing incumbant Cllr Ernie Jeffs will formally hand over the chain of office.
Conservative Cllr Berry, who is coy about her age, has served on the council for 11 years representing the St Barnabus ward.
"Without being cheesy, I think becoming mayor is the greatest honour I'll ever experience and it's very humbling," she said.
"I really feel in this world we live in, with all the problems we have, life can sometimes make us dull.
"So not only do I want to do a good job, I want to bring a little bit of fun, happiness and colour to the post."
Within hours of the ceremony Cllr Berry is set to embark on a programme of fundraising activities for her chosen charities.
She will be supporting four causes over the next 12 months – National Armed Forces charity SSAFA, Winchester-based mental health charity Together, Blue Apple, a Hampshire theatre company for actors with learning difficulties, and the 1st Winchester Scouts.

Here's something that you may not have known: this Sunday, October 27th, is World Day for Audiovisual Heritage. And why should you care? While you may be hard pressed to find a Happy World Day for Audiovisual Heritage card at the Hallmark store, it speaks to a very important issue. Experts estimate that we have only 10 to 15 years left to digitize the wealth of content on analog audiovisual media—such as film, reel-to-reel tape, and even VHS—dating to the mid to late 20th century. This material constitutes an indispensable complement to the written record of our collective world history, and it is at risk of permanent loss due to the vulnerability of these media to decay, damage, and playback obsolescence.
The United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) launched the World Day for Audiovisual Heritage in 2005 in order to acknowledge the importance of audiovisual recordings and raise general awareness of the need for urgent measures to be taken to preserve them.
Pepperdine University Libraries has responded to this charge by partnering with the California Audiovisual Preservation Project, an initiative of the California Preservation Program that provides digitization and access services for historic California audiovisual recordings. So far, more than two dozen films, reel-to-reel tapes, and other vulnerable recordings in our Special Collections and University Archives have been digitized for preservation purposes through this collaboration. These recordings, such as this recently digitized speech by Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor at the 1985 Pepperdine Law School Dinner, are now available in our Pepperdine Digital Collections.
Please visit the links above to discover how you can contribute to the preservation of the world's audiovisual heritage.

It may be the end of the road for a defiant Wisconsin dairy farmer now facing possible jail time after continuing to sell dairy products, including raw milk, without a license and ignoring a previous order to cease sales.
Vernon Hershberger of Loganville, Wis., has been charged with four misdemeanors as reported by WND.com.
Pete Kennedy, who wrote in a Farm-To-Consumer Legal Defense Fund commentary on the case, noted that one of the key facts of the case is Hershberger's private, contractual agreement to provide food for food buyers clubs.
"If Hershberger is convicted of the charges against him, it could have a chilling effect on consumer access to raw milk for those who don't own and board their own cows. The farmer currently is leasing his cows to the right to Choose Healthy Food Buyers Club," Kennedy wrote.
The case adds to mounting headaches for raw milk supporters. In addition to a four-state campylobacteriosis outbreak linked to raw milk sold from a Pennsylvania dairy and an injunction against another Pennsylvania raw milk producer, the Center for Disease Control and Prevention released a study last week that showed that the rate of disease outbreaks linked to raw milk was 150 times greater than outbreaks linked to pasteurized milk.

Trout to take same field as fellow phenom Harper
DETROIT -- Rivalries are good for professional sports, and nothing is better than matchups between two star players.
The problem is, the nature of baseball doesn't necessarily lend itself to that.
So while it's great to have Mike Trout on the same field as Miguel Cabrera in Detroit this weekend, and there will be a lot of attention paid to Trout playing against fellow young superstar Bryce Harper for the first time in Washington, D.C., next week, they don't necessarily match up against one another.
"We're both position players, so we're not really going to face each other," Trout said. "We're both going to try, obviously, to get on base, get some hits. But I think when you try to do too much, that's when you get in trouble."
Trout and Harper exchange text messages every once in a while, but besides being on the same Arizona Fall League team in 2011 and playing against one another in the All-Star Game last year, the two haven't spent much time on the same field. And they aren't necessarily that close.
"I'm not best friends with him," Trout said. "But we both root for each other."
Harper, about a year younger than the 22-year-old Trout, was benched in Saturday's sixth inning for not hustling out of the batter's box on a grounder back to the mound. Nats skipper Matt Williams called it "the inability to run 90 feet," and Harper said he understood the decision.
"I saw that," Trout said. "For me, I run everything out. You never know what could have been on his mind. I know he's hurting with a tight quad. But that's the way they play over there [hustling all the time], and you have to respect that. I think [Harper] handled it the right way, understood what he did, and hopefully he never does it again."
