5:30 pm
the race stands in the cru states. women and smoking, a big study, just released tonight containing fascinating information about the damage and quitting. an emotional recovery, the reunion for the teenager who was targeted by the taliban. tonight, her bravery and her progress. nightly news begins now. good evening, we're going into a situation this weekend that is very scary for a whole lot of people. i want to read you a quote from a veteran forecaster today, he says we are in uncharted territory here, i have never seen anything like this. i never saw anything like it, at a loss to describe what it could do. it is near certain that hurricane sandy will make landfall, rather than turning out to sea, end of quote. dire predictions like that are coming days in advance, despite
5:31 pm
the storm that was shredded by dry air all day. not much to look at, not very powerful as the center of it sits off the coast of miami. at this moment this is what is going to happen, the set-up, the chemical reaction, when it takes a left hook, oceans will surge, trees will come down, portions of the coastline could be ravaged. we have it covered and want to talk to janice huff, how are we so confident it will blow up in size and make that left hook? well, brian, there is still uncertainty with the track of the storm, but there is a certainty that it will intensify, moving into parts of the midwest and the jet stream helping to pick up, and energize the storm even more
5:32 pm
it is weaker now, the category 1 topping winds of 75. moving away from the bahamas, there is a chance it could be weaker by saturday afternoon. but then they project it will bring it back up to category 1 status, but they found it all the way to virginia, and maybe even the outer banks will feel its effects by then. the storm is expected to move onshore by monday and tuesday afternoon, possibly as a very strong hurricane or maybe even another type of storm, a nor'easter, moving onshore, all depending on where it moves onshore is how severe it will be. but the entire area will feel the effects, whether you're inland or along the coast. you know, the spaghetti trackers, here, all over the place. we talk about them but most of them are concentrated between rhode island and washington, d.c. so there is a possibility, that across the south of maryland, parts of the new jersey shore,
5:33 pm
the maryland coastline will see the stronger impacts in terms of the storm surge, and heavy rain, as well. this projection brings all the rain north to southern new jersey and virginia and maryland by sunday, monday, afternoon, monday night into tuesday is when it would be the worse, brian. >> not helped by the fact we have a full moon coming up. high tides, monday night. all right, janice huff in the weather center, thank you it looks certain the storm will affect people across as we just saw that huge area and sadly, as janice pointed out, so many of the computer models have it coming along shore somewhere along the new jersey shore. nbc's ann thompson is at pleasant point for us, good evening. >> reporter: good evening, brian, a number of states in this region have already declared states of emergency. new jersey is one of the places where hurricane sandy could make landfall on monday night. already on the east coast, preparations are being made for what is expected to be an historic storm.
5:34 pm
today, sandy toured across the bahamas, the powerful storm knocking over trees and sending the ocean into the streets, at least 40 dead in haiti, cuba and jamaica. scenes of destruction adding to the preparations along the east coast of the u.s. >> i think that everyone has learned lessons from the last storm. >> reporter: connecticut is one of 13 states haunted by last year's irene, and the nearly 16 billion in damage, leaving thousands without power for days. then hit by a surprising snowstorm on halloween. today, governor malloy warned it could be the type of storm not seen in 30 years. >> have enough food and water for everyone in your household. assume there will be an elongated period of time in which you will be without energy. >> reporter: at the massachusetts store? power supplies were hot items. >> i have generators, make sure
5:35 pm
we have oil, flash lights, got to be prepared. >> reporter: storm surge is another worry, with a full moon, sunday night being a difficult combination, it sent the area in norfolk, virginia, out to sea. others sought safe harbor. and along the new jersey shore, these people sought safe harbor >> i may as well take the right steps, get the boat out of the way. whatever is going to happen will happen >> reporter: this boat yard couldn't keep up with requests. >> no, i'm sorry, we can't take boats out of the water. >> reporter: they're bracing for the worst here on point pleasant beach. the workers built sandbags and built along the doors of concession stands, and up on roofs, usually they took time putting away the ride, now they're trying to get it done by sunday. >> it is all hands on deck thing. just everybody pitching in and making sure we can get
5:36 pm
everything taken care of before the storm hits >> reporter: there are also five oil refineries in the path of the storm, representing 6% of the nation's refining capacity. now fema is moving resources into the area, and the mid-atlantic region. for those of you asking if this is still hurricane season, it doesn't end until november 30th. brian? >> it is hard to watch all of that, having spent time there, ann thompson in new jersey, preparing for a rough weekend, thank you, our coverage of the storm, of course, continues through the weekend. if you're concerned about where you live, on our website there is a hurricane tracker allowing you to plug in your own zip code at nbcnightly.com. >> now we switch to the campaign coverage, 11 days to go. and on top of everything else, the frantic pace as they try to finish, now they really do have to worry about the storm, heading for some of the most valuable political real estate there. peter alexander has more. from canton, ohio, where
5:37 pm
governor romney is, peter, good evening. >> reporter: brian, good evening to you as hurricane sandy takes aim on the east coast, forecasters are not the only ones on alert, the campaign strategists are, as well. with crews defending against potentially devastating flooding in virginia, the campaign cancelled a rally. officials in north carolina say they could suspend early voting, if needed. in ohio, snow threatens to hurt the voting efforts. in iowa today, he was introduced by a situation with the state's senior senator. >> we'll put america on a new path to a new day with a new president. obama. a new president romney, pardon me. >> time for new bold changes that measure up to the moment, that can bring the american families to the certainty that the future will be better than the past. >> reporter: speaking to a construction plant that
5:38 pm
benefitted from mr. obama's stimulus money help, he blasted the opponent. >> we're the nine million jobs that the president promised. >> reporter: president obama targeted the most loyal supporters without ever leaving washington, courting young voters now on tv. >> we now have to go directly to the source, the colleges and universities and say you have to work on cutting tuition. >> reporter: later, working on the undecideds. >> the major issue in any election, can you count on the purpose you put into office fighting for you, with a clear set of convictions >> reporter: meanwhile, the romney campaign's national co-chair, john sununu, criticized them of using stereotypes. >> how lazy, detached he is. >> reporter: backing away from new comments on cnn's questioning why colin powell endorsed the president. >> when you take a look at colin powell is that an endorsement based on issues, or a slightly
5:39 pm
different reason for preferring president obama. >> what reason would that be? >> well, i think when you have somebody of your own race that you're proud of being president of the united states. i applaud colin for standing with him. >> reporter: sununu released a statement, calling colin a friend, but not apologizing. i don't doubt that it was based on anything but the support of the president's policies. and we reached out to the romney campaign for comment, but they offered nothing in addition to sununu's statement. >> all right, peter in ohio, thank you, this brings us to our political director and chief white house correspondent, chuck todd. so chuck, this is the field in front of us, john sununu said that colin powell endorsed the president because they're both black guys. another endorses president obama for president, by mistake, and
5:40 pm
romney talks about the piece of property, accepting help from stimulus money. beyond unforced errors, the romney's campaign is to put together the electoral and not the popular vote in the math, in the next ten days to push the victory. >> that is right the magic number, 270, here the states in yellow are the states we believe are toss-ups, the ones which we just don't know. they may lean one way or the other. let me take you through some scenarios where we think the battleground will narrow in the next week. if you talk to democrats they believe they're ahead in new hampshire. by the way, as you see me moving these states you will see the numbers above the president and above mitt romney change. so watch as i change them. they think they're a little bit ahead in wisconsin. but they also believe the democrats are a little ahead in ohio. they feel good, that gets the president to 263.
5:41 pm
mitt romney, and the republicans believe, florida and virginia, the two southern states putting them in pretty good shape, getting them to 248. that brings us to the two most hotly contested, colorado and ohio, but look at this, if i move ohio over to romney, he is still short of the 270 magic number, could mean that colorado, a state we told you yesterday in the polling had it 48-48, means it could be the state keeping us up all night. but speaking of keeping us up all night, here, i give the midwestern states all to romney. wisconsin, iowa, ohio and florida, but go ahead and give virginia to the president. let me show you where this takes us. 269 for romney. 269 for the president. here, and i have no more electoral votes to push. this would mean we would have the constitution work, and this would also mean, brian, that the most likely outcome in this is the house would elect romney president, and the senate would
5:42 pm
elect biden vp. there are a lot of possible scenarios, this one, not so implausible. >> chuck, step away from the math, we have days to go, many different scenarios, we'll be checking in with you, chuck todd, washington. and now, we turn to a tragic story around the country today. it happens around the country. this begins with a very big number, in this country, 13 million children are turned over to the care of somebody other than their parents, in many cases while their parents go to work. last night here in new york city, the absolute unthinkable happened. we get more on the story. >> reporter: marina krim returned home thursday with her three-year-old daughter to find her other two children dead. police say two-year-old leo and six-year-old lulu were stabbed to downtown
5:43 pm
by their baby-sitter, yoselyn ortega, being seen taken away on the stretcher. the father, kevin, was out of town on business, met at the airport by the police with the news. as word spread, the neighborhood reacted. >> i woke up this morning, and my first thought was my two boys are safe in bed, and this poor family has lost two of their children. >> i know what their mother is going through right now. i'm a mother, too, who lost her kids. >> as a mother and a nanny, you tend to develop a bond with the kids that you take care of. >> reporter: and not just in new york, many across the country express their sadness on line, too. i have felt sick to my stomach on the verge of tears all day, this story haunts me to the core. by all accounts, the krim family knew their sitter well, even visiting ortega's family in the dominican republic. 63% of kids in the u.s. are cared for by baby-sitters
5:44 pm
for parents, this is a unique relationship sometimes built on trust. >> when something like this happens, every parent questions themselves and says, am i doing anything that places my child at risk? they worry about the safety of their children while they are away from them. >> reporter: tonight, the baby-sitter is in critical condition, and a family has been shattered. nbc news, new york. when we continue here on a friday night, women and smoking. new information just out about -- tonight about the benefits of quitting. and later, that emotional family reunion for malala, the girl targeted by taliban. and the good news tonight about her recovery.
5:45 pm
5:46 pm
5:47 pm
we have health news tonight that was just released before we went on the air, in the form of the largest study ever on the risk of women and smoking. some dramatic new benefits on quitting, our report from chief correspondent robert bazell. >> reporter: 28-year-old amanda garcia just joined a program to try to quit her pack-a-day smoking. she always thought about quitting. she smoked since age 15. >> i don't think i was really ready, i kept saying i'm not doing it or trying it until i am really ready. >> reporter: the study out tonight provides the latest and best evidence that quitting is worth the effort. the researchers in britain
5:48 pm
followed a million women for 12 years, now in their 60s and 70s. smoking a pack a day starting with their teens, reducing their life expectancy by years, numbers of early deaths, a number even higher than the risk for men. >> if you're a smoker for your whole life, the chances you will die directly from your smoking are greater than the chances of anything else put together. >> reporter: the study examined women who even smoked a few cigarettes a day, doubled their chances of dying. but the news of the study is not all bad, reinforcing the idea if you quit it reduces the risk, the sooner the better. the research finds if a woman quits before her 40s, her chances dropped by 90%, if a woman stops by age 50, it decreases substantially. others's risks disappear almost completely, her reason now? her two kids. >> my kids mean everything to me, and i want to be there for them.
5:49 pm
>> reporter: and she knows she has a far greater chance to be there by kicking the habit. robert bazell. up next, a very encouraging story about a young woman's story that we have been following.
5:50 pm
5:51 pm
5:52 pm
there was a tearful but also joyful family reunion today in a british hospital at the bedside of the young pakistani woman who was targeted by the taliban because she stood up for girls and education. tonight, we see just how much progress she has made in just three weeks's time. our report tonight from amna nawaz. in birmingham, england >> reporter: ten days after she arrived in england, malala yousufzai has reunited with her family, who came in yesterday racing to the hospital under tight security. they were taken in to see her. >> last night when we met her,
5:53 pm
there were kids in our eyes, and they were out of happiness, i say, out of happiness >> reporter: when her father last saw her in pakistan, she was hanging on to life. >> in pakistan, i told my brother-in-law, that they should make preparations for a funeral, because of the situation but thankful to god >> reporter: today, he called it a miracle that malala is expected to make a full recovery. >> everywhere across the world, they condemn the attack, in strong words, and they prayed for my daughter. which is not only my daughter, which is the daughter of everybody, sister of everybody. >> reporter: doctors here continue to take malala through a series of tests to rule out any long-term injury and say so far they see no sign of brain injury. despite being treated in birmingham, the 15-year-old remains a symbol of hope back in pakistan. >> when she fell, the person who
5:54 pm
took her, they wanted to kill her. but i simply will say she fell temporarily, she will rise again. >> reporter: and eventually, she told her father, she will also return home. amna nawaz, nbc news, birmingham, england. >> up next here tonight, jim cantore with the latest on the storm with the power to make life miserable for us in the coming days.
5:55 pm
5:56 pm
5:57 pm
well you know the rule by now, jim cantore, the weather channel, if he shows up where you live it is about to get really bad there. he is in singer island, in florida, jim, i've been amazed at what i have heard. >> reporter: and i think we'll be amazed. let's talk about it, we look at it on satellite, it doesn't really look like all that much. but while this is in its cocoon it will come out as a butterfly with a swath of winds 100 miles or up to 800 miles wide let's look at the path, probably downgraded to a tropical storm in the next 24 hours, but look for tropical storm watches or
5:58 pm
even hurricane watches by saturday as it is forecasted to become a hurricane once again. going all the way up through the seaboard up through here. this is uncharted territory for modern meteorology. but once again, for the second year in a row, others face the prospect of being in the dark the week before halloween. >> all right, jim cantore, safe travels, we'll stay with you and the weather channel all weekend long as we track the progress of this. for us, for now, that is our broadcast on a friday night for us and for this week. thank you for joining us, i'm brian williams, lester holt will be here with you this weekend. we, of course, hope to see you right back here on monday night. in the meantime, please have a good weekend. good night. a break in the case, police make an arrest in the arson case in the office of a local mayor. what we've learned about the
5:59 pm
suspect. >> i'm jody hernandez, two teenagers have been arrested for the brutal killing that happened inside this home. i'll have reaction from the victim's family coming up. and gearing up for game three, we're live in detroit at the giants prep for the next chapter in their magical run. thanks for being with us on this friday evening. >> the kind of case that fear and nightmares are made of. that's how the alameda sheriff's department is describing the strangulation and burning of a castro woman. two teenagers have been arrested accused of robbing and killing a woman they actually knew. jody hernandez has the details live from castro valley. this is a stunner. >> reporter: it really is, jessica. the victim and her boyfriend not only

Mobile health care: Where does the new IT intersect with medicine?
A rural Georgia elementary school is using telemedicine to connect students with doctors. A Bluetooth-enabled stethoscope allows physicians to monitor vital signs remotely from their office miles away.
Millions of Americans are sporting "wearable technology" that monitors their exercise regimen and even blood glucose levels of diabetics. These new devices soon could suggest actions we should take — from eating something to raise our blood sugar to seeing a doctor.
Older people talk about when doctors made "house calls." With the advent of "mobile health care," using smart phones and other devices, there is the potential that the old virtually could be new again.
A conference being presented next Friday in Indianapolis by the Indiana University Kelley School of Business will look at the implications and economic opportunities of mobile health care.
It will take place from 9 a.m. to 3:15 p.m. at Hine Hall at IUPUI. Kelley's Business of Medicine MBA Program also is involved and many of its physician-students are expected to attend.
More companies getting involved
"Certainly there is exciting potential associated with the Internet and mobile health," said George Telthorst, director of Kelley's Center for the Business of Life Sciences and one of the conference organizers. "There's also some trade-offs and I think there's a lot of work trying to figure this out right now. Big companies and small companies both are poking around in this.
"The Food and Drug Administration was slow to respond to this — they weren't sure what to do with this — but within the last months guidance has come out that suggests the FDA will be treating this with a lighter hand than a heavier one," added Telthorst, who believes this is a positive development.
For example, he believes that devices that monitor vital signs but do not prescribe specific treatments or medications will not come under much regulatory scrutiny.
"I think it's going to drive innovation. I also think it's going to lead to more players from outside the industry getting involved," such as Microsoft and Apple, he said.
Interestingly, the origin of many mobile health applications came from patients' groups. A Silicon Valley parent developed one leading app that monitors diabetic children while they are sleeping and then shared it via online user groups.
This innovation is not coming from the big medical device or pharmaceutical companies, but many may soon become more involved.
Kelley School alumni among the innovators
Kelley School alumnus Chris Bergstrom has played a role in this emerging field.
As chief strategy officer of WellDoc — a pioneering leader in digital health — Bergstrom created a new category of treatment for diabetes by launching the world's first mobile prescription therapy.
Prior to WellDoc, Chris worked for P&G, launched two blood glucose systems at Roche Diagnostics, and served as the adviser to the CEO of Alere Home Monitoring (previously Tapestry Medical) as it pioneered a remote home patient monitoring service.
Bergstrom will be the morning keynote speaker at the Feb. 20 conference and is expected to lay out the potential for mobile health. What should be done with the data? Are software analytics as powerful as molecules? What's a mobile prescription therapy? How can it generate profits?
Also participating will be CEOs and executives of several start-up companies, including a couple from the Midwest.
Among them is David Wortman, co-founder and CEO of Indianapolis-based Diagnotes Inc., which won the 2012 Hoosier Healthcare Innovation Challenge. The Purdue University graduate will speak during a morning panel of executives from "cutting edge" firms.
Diagnotes has developed a system that allows physicians to access important patient information over secure communication channels no matter where they are.
Another Kelley alumnus Jeff Lautenbach leads another up-and-coming company, cloud software developer HC1.
Recent cybersecurity breaches have highlighted concerns over privacy. The wearable healthcare devices employ ultra-low frequencies and questions persist over whether they are vulnerable to hackers.
One of the conference presenters, Surendar Magar, president and CEO of California-based HMicro, which is developing embedded wireless applications, likely will address this topic.
While most of the development of new mobile health care apps is happening in Silicon Valley, there is growing potential for it in Indiana, Telthorst said. Hoosier companies Roche Diagnostics, Zimmer, Cook and Hill-Rom are involved and Eli Lilly is expected to join them soon.
The lunch speaker will be Horst Merkle, president and chairman of Continua, a consortium tasked with develop industry standards so that these new technologies work on all devices and platforms. He also serves as its liaison to the FDA.
In addition to the information and experiences shared through the program, Telthorst said the Indiana Life Sciences Collaboration Series conferences provide ample opportunities to "make connections, help build the Indiana health care ecosystem and spark new ideas."
More than 150 people are expected to attend and registrations will be accepted through the morning of the conference. The registration fee for each conference is $150 and discounts are available for students at any accredited Indiana college or university.

Tana Blevins: Broun's fearmongering hurtful
Wow. Less than a week after the election, Congressman Paul Broun slanders President-elect Barack Obama in the worst possible way by comparing him to Hitler.
Henry Shirah: Guess accidents happen
Re: Vet School Leak. Oops!
June Arata: Broun should be ashamed
As a proud Democrat, I thought having a bumper sticker reading "Feeling Blue in a Red State" was as bad as it was going to get. But after reading about Congressman Paul Broun's contention that President-elect Barack Obama's plan for a civilian national security force is Marxist, I now see I must get a bumper sticker reading, "Feeling Sad in the 10th District."
John W. English: Broun offers district nothing
Republican U.S. Rep. Paul Broun's inflammatory remarks at an Augusta-area Rotary Club luncheon Friday are proof positive of why he shouldn't be representing Northeast Georgia in Congress. By calling Democratic President-elect Barack Obama "Marxist," and defeated Republican presidential contender John McCain "milquetoast," Broun resorts to name-calling as a way to grab headlines and to avoid the hard task of offering solutions to the national crises created by his own party.
Roi T. Johnson: Broun owes apology to district
As pastor of an African-American church within the Northeast Georgia district represented by Congressman Paul Broun, I find it disheartening, disconcerting and distasteful that he would venomously utter words that compare President-elect Obama's proposal for community service with the vile and virulent record of the leader of the Third Reich.

It is Veterans Day, and I have just read that you are equating the president-elect with Hitler. Shame on you.

What kind of folks live in Northeast Georgia? I wonder if, as Americans, we see our country in the same way?

Disabled 'denied housing choice'
Many local authorities are not giving people with learning difficulties a range of choice over where they can live, according to government-commissioned research.
A major report by the Hester Adrian Research Centre into four models of residential provision for people with learning difficulties shows several authorities are ignoring government guidance that they allocate housing according to need and clients' wishes.
Only 6% of clients interviewed were considered to have any control over where they lived.
The report also backs the continuing closure of hospitals and their replacement by small community-based housing schemes, although it says no one type of housing surveyed came out on top.
It looked at large-scale developments such as village communities and NHS residential campuses as well as group homes and supported living schemes.
Less choice
It found that NHS residential campuses, developed after the closure of NHS hospitals, delivered poorer quality services than smaller, more dispersed housing schemes, despite being cheaper to run.
They were associated with restricted choice, greater use of drugs, fewer staff and increased institutionalisation.
However, the report said they were also more likely to be used by people who had less severe learning difficulties than those in sheltered housing.
Other schemes had both drawbacks and benefits.
Village communities, which are still rare, offered better access to health care and routine day activities, whereas group homes and supporting living schemes were linked with greater social integration and homeliness.
Supported housing also rated high for greater choice and participation in community-based activities, but was the most costly form of housing due mainly to increased staff costs.
Group homes, on the other hand, had better access to more formalised day activities.
Careful assessment
Health minister John Hutton said the research showed the need for local authorities to ensure people with learning difficulties were carefully assessed to ensure they received the most appropriate form of residential placement for them.
He stated: "Authorities should respect the right of individuals to make informed choices about where they live...wherever their preferred choice can meet their assessed needs and is affordable."
The report says acccommodation costs should be balanced against benefits such as more active social lives, rates of obesity and social integration.
It says the difference when costs are adjusted in this way are "not statistically different".
The report found that just 17% of clients interviewed did enough exercise to keep healthy.
Some 24% of women were obese, compared with a national average of 16%.
Mr Hutton said the Social Services Inspectorate would check to see government guidance over choice in placements was enforced.
Mencap, which campaigns for Britain's 1.2 million people with learning difficulties, welcomed the research, but said that, in order to allow people more choice in placements, extra funding was needed.
Special adviser Brian McGinnis said staff had to be properly trained and there had to be proper monitoring of the effects of a particular residential placement on an individual's life.
"We believe this piece of research is very valuable," said Mr McGinnis.
"However, there are no extra funds available to improve the current situation so will this report actually lead to more homes and better lives for people with a learning disability?"

Series Information: Dreaming Void
Rating: Weighted - 8.03 / Average - 8.3 of 10 (3 votes)
Description's Source: From the publisher
The year is 3589, fifteen hundred years after Commonwealth forces barely staved off human extinction in a war against the alien Prime. Now an even greater danger has surfaced: a threat to the existence of the universe itself. At the very heart of the galaxy is the Void, a self-contained microuniverse that cannot be breached, cannot be destroyed, and cannot be stopped as it steadily expands in all directions, consuming everything in its path: planets, stars, civilizations. The Void has existed for untold millions of years. Even the oldest and most technologically advanced of the galaxys sentient races, the Raiel, do not know its origin, its makers, or its purpose.

National League Standings, June 9, 1999
July 4, 2004
A great game at Shea. The Mets were beating the Jays 3-0 in the ninth but they made a comeback, capped by a game-tying double by Brian McRae. Then the game seemed to never end until, in the 13th, Rey Ordonez stepped up with Lopez on 3rd and hit a long fly ball into left field and Lopez came home with the winning run! What a game!
October 18, 2004
In retrospect, I should have added a few things in my previous post. It has only taken me 3 and a half years to rectify this.
I was at this game, which Wells started, and Ordonez ended, and among the more notable happenings this night was this was the infamous Bobby Valentine "Moustache" ballgame, where he was ejected, although for the life of me I can't remember when or why he was tossed, I want to say it was in the 10th inning, and of course I didn't know it at the time, since I was in the upper deck and couldn't see into the dugout, that Valentine had indeed donned a fake moustache, Groucho Marx glasses and eyebrows and snuck back into the dugout to see the finish, around the 12th or 13th inning. I only saw a clip of this on Sportscenter or the game replay, so I don't know if he was around for the finish in the 14th.
Also, as I mentioned, the Knicks were cheered loudly around the end of the 13th inning, as this was, I believe, the night they beat the Pacers in Indiana in game 5 of that series, which they won two nights later. Don't recall the score, but fans were a good minute ahead of the Shea announcement.
May 23, 2005
It seems I never have enough to say about this game...
This game was featured on an ESPN 25th Anniversary "Top 25" show, although I forget what it was the Top 25 of. But it was about Bobby Valentine in the Moustache, and they happened to show him getting ejected from the game, and jogged my memory, so I checked my scorecard from the game, and sure enough, there it was.
Top of the 12th. 1 out. Mahomes was pitching, Shannon Stewart had singled and was on 1st when he attempted to steal second with Craig Grebeck at bat. Piazza threw Stewart out (!), but the home plate ump, Randy Marsh, ruled that Grebeck had hit Piazza's glove with his swing, which is Catcher's interference. Grebeck was awarded first and Stewart was awarded second.
Bobby V came out to argue the call and ended up going fairly ballistic on Marsh. He was thrown out of the game. Mahomes went on to get Willie Greene to pop out and he struck out Delgado. Shortly thereafter, Bobby would re-emerge in the Mets dugout in Groucho glasses and Moustache, and the legend was born.
I miss those days...
Example One
The Mets suck! They need to trade Smith and get somebody like
This comment is off-topic and will be removed. It has nothing to do with
any specific game. But here's an acceptable alternative:
Example Two
The Mets suck! Smith made three errors in this game, and hit into a
double play, and the Mets blew a 5-0 lead. They need to get rid of Smith
and get somebody like Jones.
See the difference? Here you're getting the same point across, but it's in
the proper context. We wouldn't consider this message to be off-topic, and
we would let it remain.
We do appreciate anybody who takes the time to share their thoughts on our
site, and we hate to remove anybody's postings. But if we didn't take
steps to ensure that only on-topic messages were retained, The Ultimate
Mets Database would become a confusing jumble of unrelated comments,
and would thus be less enjoyable to visitors like you.
Thank you!

The bull nettle is well known to, and avoided by, Texans who know the outdoors. The beautiful white flowers, which can appear from spring through fall, belie the fact that the entire plant--except for those flowers--is covered by needle-like stinging hairs. This perennial is found in sandy open woodlands and open areas throughout the eastern half of Texas, and sporadically further west.

Obama names science and technology team
Post a comment
SAN FRANCISCO U.S. President-elect Barack Obama has named four key members of his science and technology team, saying science holds the key to the planet's survival and U.S. prosperity.
"It's time we once again put science at the top of our agenda and worked to restore America's place as the world leader in science and technology," Obama said as part of his weekly radio address on Dec. 20.
"I am confident that if we recommit ourselves to discovery; if we support science education to create the next generation of scientists and engineers right here in America; if we have the vision to believe and invest in things unseen, then we can lead the world into a new future of peace and prosperity," Obama said.
Obama named John Holdren assistant to the president for science and technology, director of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, and co-chair of the President's Council of Advisors on Science and Technology (PCAST).
Holdren, a physicist, is a member of the National Academy of Engineering as well as the National Academy of Sciences, the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, and the Council on Foreign Relations. Holdren is the Teresa and John Heinz Professor of Environmental Policy and Director of the Program on Science, Technology, and Public Policy at the Kennedy School of Government, Harvard University, as well as president and director of the Woods Hole Research Center. From 1994 to 2001 he was a member of U.S. President Bill Clinton's Committee of Advisors on Science and Technology.
Obama nominated Jane Lubchenco as administrator of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. Lubchenco is an environmental scientist and marine ecologist who has been on the faculty at Oregon State University since 1978.
Eric Lander, one of the principal leaders of the Human Genome Project, was named co-chair of PCAST. He is the founding director of the Broad Institute, having founded the Whitehead Institute/MIT Center for Genome Research in 1990.
Obama also named Harold Varmus co-chair of PCAST. Varmus, former Director of the National Institutes of Health and co-recipient of a Nobel Prize for studies of the genetic basis of cancer, has served as the president and CEO of Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York City since January 2000. In 1993, Varmus was named by President Clinton to serve as the Director of the National Institutes of Health, a position he held until the end of 1999.

Goldendoodle – Crucial Breed Facts
Currently crossing breeds is becoming a favorite choice, as people today take pleasure in crossbreeding for the greatest qualities of equally breeds. One particular cross breed which includes only been around for about twenty years comes about to generally be the Goldendoodle.goldendoodle This breed was designed across the exact time which the Labradoodle was also produced and they are really equivalent breeds. If you are taking into consideration the acquisition of your respective own Goldendoodle, here's a search at significant breed info you can expect to should know.
Origin with the Goldendoodle
1st, it is a smart idea to master a little bit in regards to the origin of the Goldendoodle. This pet dog transpires to become a Golden Retriever Poodle mix. A few of the other names which are generally used for this breed consist of Goldie Poos, Groodles, and Golden Poos. Considering that a few other poodle hybrids that were smaller have been incredibly profitable, breeders before long determined to test breeding Goldens with a Poodle, making a larger pet that may be allergy no cost. The hybrid turned out splendidly and this breed rapidly became well-liked.
Hybrid Vigor
The Goldendoodle displays hybrid vigor, considering the fact that they're a primary generation cross typically currently. Basically, which means considering that the canines are definitely the quite first cross between two traces of purebreds which can be unrelated, they find yourself expanding improved and so are healthier than equally of your mum or dad strains of puppies. This cross has made Goldendoodles which can be clever, simple to train, friendly, and affectionate. On the other hand, as other generations are made, the vigor might be dropped.
Breed Description
The dad or mum strains with the Goldendoodle both come about to be h2o canines and hunters. With regards to the bodily appearance with the Golden Retriever Poodle combine, they could seem similar to a poodle which is curl comfortable or they might even search like a retriever that is extremely shaggy. However, usually their seem is someplace in between the two. Ordinarily the duration of their fur finally ends up remaining among 4-8 inches in size. Their coat shade will vary. A few of the hues may perhaps incorporate versions of chocolate, black, gold, product, apricot, phantom, or parti. As a lot of the other poodle crosses, the Goldendoodle ordinarily does not get rid of substantially, which means they are great for households that have allergies which have been delicate.
About Miniature Goldendoodles
It truly is probable to find miniature Goldendoodles also. This occurs when a toy or miniature Poodle is amongst the dad and mom. A miniature Goldendoodle will often be in between 15-30 lbs. For many who want lesser canines, the miniature Golden Retriever Poodle combine can be a wonderful selection.
Body weight and Top with the Breed
In relation to the weight along with the height on the Goldendoodle, it depends around the parentage with the pet dog. Typically, to have the common weight of grownup pet dogs, you can insert the load of every dad or mum alongside one another then divide it in 50 percent. Naturally, in each litter that may be born, some puppies may well end up getting heavier or lighter when compared to the body weight that is certainly projected. Regular Goldendoodles usually are predicted to generally be in excess of 45 lbs . every time they access adulthood. Miniatures generally are down below 30 lbs .. On the other hand, it can be crucial to notice that Goldendoodles prior to now have wound up weighing in excess of a hundred pounds.

Why IT Is MoreBy CIOinsight | Posted 06-09-2005
Round II: Readers Have More to Say About Carr's "IT Revolution"
Nicholas Carrwho is notorious within IT circles for his 2002 article in the Harvard Business Review claiming that IT no longer mattersstirred up CIOInsight.com readers with his predictions about The Next IT Revolution.
We published some of the thoughtful letters to the editor commenting on Carr's analysis. While the overall tone was negative, most readers agreed with at least some of the points Carr made.
What could we do but continue to let them have their say?
Re: Carr's Outlook on IT
While I agree with some of Mr. Carr's ideas, such as data center consolidation, I disagree with the idea that utilization rate is a solid measure of value for most computing systems.
Most PCs, networks and servers are designed to have very low utilization rates. Five percent utilization for a PC is about right, 50-60 percent utilization for a network is appropriate, 35-55 percent utilization for a server is acceptable.
Think if it like this: A computer is like a car. Most people spend a small amount of time in their car, so it has something like 15 percent utilization on any given day. Now imagine only being able to use public transit to go places. Sure, in New York City that is fine, but not in many other urban or suburban areas.
Imagine highways having to achieve 80 percent utilization before they get expanded; rush hour would be next to impossible. 80 percent or more network bandwidth utilization creates that same kind of backup in traffic. Imagine only having one corporate bus that had to pick up everybody in the morning and drop them off at night!
That is what a 75 percent or more utilization can produce on a server.
If we start to take away the tools that improve our productivity in the guise of being more cost-effective, we are just being penny-wise and pound foolish.

That kind of thinking does lead to a Revolution; it leads to a loss of productivity.

Carr Is Correct, These Posters Are Wrong
IT now serves the careers of its members. 15 years ago, why was there no "Chief Telephone Officer" in the executive suite? Because the bloody phone mostly worked, and for what you getthe ability to talk to anyone anywhere any timewas incredibly inexpensive.
How is it that IT has leveraged years over years of failure to deliver a stable, safe, low-cost, reliable business tool to the desktop, by asking for and obtaining a senior management-level voiceCIO/CTO? One can only assume blackmail and/or a lot of slick-talking BSers.
I have worked in Corporate IT for several clients. The plan there is: Buy big, safe brand-name "solutions," deploy them inside tight PM/Change Management, and make sure your rear is covered for the inevitable business failures. Nearly gone are innovation, hacking, responsibility and customer satisfaction (when we do have that, it is usually obtained by reducing the definition of "customer" or "satisfaction").
I am working on a paper now, "The Rise of Stupid IT," in the spirit of David Isen's "The Rise of the Stupid Network."
My solution is that IT must be split into two streamsand this solution is the antithesis of what the industry is calling for. I recently attended an event here in my city (Calgary), the point of which was how governance is what it's all about now. A room full of lawyers and CIOs replacing what used to be a room full of hackers and technologists. Again, was such talk ever used for the telephone infrastructure in a corporation 15 or 25 years ago?
And is the whole PC/IT thing not really a more sophisticated telephone?
1) Infrastructurethe hallmarks are that it is tiny, and is expected to use legacy systems and keep them running for very long periods of time. New products are introduced to the company WHEN they are ready, not on any external schedule, and not on demand of any business needs. Innovators and hackers work here. You do not outsource these people or functions. (See barrage of recent press on the failure of outsourcing in general.) This type of IT reports to whoever is in charge of Facilities.
2) Consultingprovided as a resource to business departments that have pressing needs that could be covered by technology. These consultants are managed and paid for from departmental budgets entirely. Project Managers work here. Business application developers work here. They report to business people. Any questions about them and their work that senior management has are directed to the business manager they work for. Period.
You may outsource these people at will, they work on a project basis. Experts may be drawn from Infrastructure on loan. These projects do NOT change the operation of infrastructure. The lines of reporting are entirely business-related, based on the project in question. If business managers don't know enough lingo to manage these resources, they have to fund "translators."
Smart business managers will of course learn the lingo, or smart IT consultants will learn the business and be promoted there. Companies that get what I'm saying will survive in the emerging economy. David was right about AT&T.
Maybe I'm right about corporate IT?

Why IT Is More
Important than Electricity">
Re: Carr and IT
As Perry Cherpes said [in a previous letter to the editor]: "Electricity is the same for every companyinformation is not." What doesn't matter in IT in the future is all the things that are essentially the same across companies: servers, routers, any hardware platform that's been profitable for at least three years (think vehiclesyou may make rules about buying only Ford or Toyota for maintenance reasons, but you won't have a whole department focused on researching horsepower needs).
What does matter is what distinguishes your company from the others. The bureaucracies above mine (we are a small cog in USDA) wanted us to identify the common data items so we could share info easier.
Examining the data shows that the differences in our data exactly match the differences in our missions.
Our data (the database structure) AND the way users interface with that data (entry forms, reports, and sometimes the specific end-user hardware (think UPS)) are what matters. That's essentially your IT/business alignment.
If it's important for competitive reasons that your IT is always the best in the world, you will have a hardware department (just like the NASCAR groups do); otherwise you're wasting your money and can get along with Best Buy and maybe a consultant or single staff member up to date on industry news.
It's similar with data entry and reporting. If you have to accept strange inputs from various sources, you will need a development group. Same if you need to crunch humongous hunks of data faster than anyone else. If everything can be done through standard off-the-shelf stuff (smart cash-register/scanner/cardreader), then just buy it and focus on your specialty.
Barnes and Noble cannot distinguish themselves from Borders based on how they accept money at their stores, so don't focus on it unless you can think of some way cool thing that would make it attract more customers and be profitable.
What distinguishes them is not their inventory tracking system or their employee time and attendance software, any more than would the fact that their managers drive Fords instead of Toyotas (unless it was advertised company policy to "support America" or "support the environment").
A pizza delivery service can make a competitive statement by using Porsches (speed) or Peterbilt Tractors (volume), or they can compete in completely different areas such as freshness of ingredients or variety of menu.
Carr is correct in that right now, too many businesses have "departments of electricity" even though they aren't competing in any category that really needs that department. Those IT resources are unnecessary and will go away, turning into contract management departments before being absorbed completely into Finance. The other IT resources are immensely valuable and will not go away and still leave the company successful.

Dear Mr. Carr:
As a CFO I can hardly find fault with your desire to reduce inefficiencies. The problem lies in identifying those inefficiencies. Your contention that 70 percent of IT doesn't matter is somewhat glib and akin to throwing out the baby with the bathwater.
The first order of business is to keep the business operating. This requires an infrastructure that is reliable and, often, redundant. Consolidated data centers clearly save money, but also introduce single points of failure. The cost savings must be viewed as coming with added risk to business continuity.
The second order of business is to make sure the infrastructure can support reasonable growth and doesn't become an impediment to accepting and delivering new business. In my 35 years I have seen many short-sighted decisions based purely on cost that ended up costing more because equipment had to be replaced or upgraded less than halfway into its useful life. IT planning must be plugged into the overall business planning and forecasting function with a variable cost component based on growth projections.
The third order of business is to make it efficient, i.e. reduce costs and increase profits. I have seen how technologists fall in love with the technology. I have also seen how they can't seem to scale the technology to the size and needs of the business. They seem to believe there is only one right way to build an infrastructure.
That may be fine for very large and very complicated organizational structures, but usually results in large inefficiencies for small to midsize organizations. Most technologists just don't seem capable of recognizing inefficiencies that are staring them right in the face.
Based on the three items above, I have come to the conclusion that the IT function should always be run by a technology-savvy and strategy-savvy business person. That is the real key to realizing the next IT revolution.

NI Water fined £1,200 for pollution offence
Stormont Executive press release - Department of the Environment
NI Water (NIW) pleaded guilty and was fined £1,200 plus Court Costs of £28 and Offenders Levy of £15 at Craigavon Magistrates' Court today.
The charge relates to a pollution offence at Milltown Road Waste Water Pumping Station (WWPS),Waringstown.
On 2 January 2013, a Water Quality Inspector (WQI), acting on behalf of the Northern Ireland Environment Agency, inspected the Waringstown Stream upstream of its confluence with the River Lagan at Milltown Road, Waringstown. A discharge was observed from Milltown Road Waste Water Pumping station. The stream was visibly discoloured, and there was fungal growth on the bed of the River Lagan.
Untreated sewage was found to be discharging from the Milltown Road WWPS to the affected waterway. NIW admitted under caution that the discharge occurred due to the failure of two pumps to start. The malfunction of both pumps failed to create any telemetry alarm to alert management of the failure.
Notes to editors:
1. NIW was charged under Article 7 (1) (a) of the Water (Northern Ireland) Order 1999 with the offence of making a polluting discharge to a waterway.

Chef restaurant Messa in Tel Aviv is famous for its sophisticated white
and cream interior, which is reminiscent of a grand European dining
room. The adjacent bar, however,is a whole different story. The
black-themed bar offers customers an intimate dimly-lit room where they
can indulge in the outstanding food that the restaurant has to offer
while sampling a fine selection of alcohol. The bar at Messa
tries not to take itself too seriously, while still maintaining the high
standards that the name evokes. The atmosphere is a little naughtier
and the aim is to simply have a good time.

My vet prescribed Advocate for small cats, for my cat Frappe, within 2 days she had a large open sore on the dosage site on her neck.
Consumers are led to believe by both my vet, and Bayer's own test findings as published on the website, that side effects do not exist. But the product seemed to literally burn a hole in her fur and skin. As for the fleas, she's never had them in the 6 years I've had her, but the vets still push you to de-flea them...must get commission for selling it.
Will never use again!

I used advocate for a year on my 4 year old cat with no problems BUT the last monthly dose he had a very severe reaction to, nearly died infact,I will never use a spot treatment again PEOPLE BEWARE
Written on: 24/09/2013
I bought advocate for the first time and noticed that the one 6month old cat had scabs on his head from scratching and a round wound where I had used the advocate. We had been on holiday and I thought it was a flea allergy or mites, took him to the vet and he looked for mites and ringworm but it was none of these, he suggested putting on another dose of Advocate. Four days later he now has another bloody wound again where I put the stuff on, so now I am convinced he is reacting to that. I even changed his food thinking it was a food allergy. The other four cats are fine with it.
Written on: 30/04/2013
hi I used advocate on my 8 year old Persian cross last month and noticed a little bald spot a couple of days later. I thought he"d been fighting at first so wasn't too worried. but have used it again this month and he has a huge round red raw bald spot in exactly the same place that I used the product!!!! my god what the hell do they put in the stuff? im so gutted that he has this wound because I did it to him. obviously I wont be using it again but after reading your story I just wanted to tell you mine. im totally disgusted and shall be writing to the company.
Written on: 30/04/2013
I really hope you get a better response than I did, they told me that side effect did not exist, and that it must a coincidence and caused by something else. She'd had it before shortly after using the product but not as bad. I feet so guilty that I did that to her! But we shouldn't, we were trying to look after them as best we could on vet recommendation. I hope your kitty heals quickly x Frappe healed and the fur grew back.
Written on: 26/05/2013
Hi there, ive just noticed the same thing as you describe on my cat and was wondering what action you took? Did it just heal naturally i did you need to see a vet or take some other action like bathing thoroughly? Also how long it took to heal?
Written on: 28/05/2013
It healed within a few weeks, and took about 2 months after that for the fur to grow back.
I was using damp cotton swabs with aloe (bought from pets at home) for a few days just to keep it clean and stop it itching. Hope your cat heals as well as frappe did x

NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Kentucky wrapped up practice Friday still unsure if star wide receiver Keenan Burton will play in Monday's Music City Bowl against Florida State. Burton, hobbling with a knee injury, participated in only half of an afternoon practice under a drizzly sky at Vanderbilt University.
Wildcats coaches will monitor Burton's knee over the weekend before deciding whether or not he will play.
"It did not swell from yesterday," Kentucky coach Rich Brooks said Friday. "I would say it's 50-50. If he doesn't swell from what he did today, then he'll probably play in the game."
Burton said practicing Friday after missing Thursday's session helped him gauge his progress.
"I have to go through team stuff in order to fully see if everything is going to be fine, then just wait it out to see how it feels," he said. "It's just day by day, really.
"I'm still cautious, but instead of saying doubtful, I think I'm 50-50 now. It can swing from here to there. It could swell up or it couldn't. It's a waiting game."
Burton leads the Wildcats with 59 receptions and is second in receiving yards (685) and touchdown catches (nine). He was a finalist for this year's Biletnikoff Award, presented annually to the nation's top receiver.
"He's clearly a guy who has made huge, big plays in his career," Brooks said. "If we don't have him out there, we're going to miss those big plays."
Burton, a senior, hopes to play Monday as the Wildcats try to win back-to-back bowl games for the first time since 1950-51.
"It's important because it would be my last game," he said. "I want to go out on something special and be part of something special."
