Jonathan Stephen "John" Goodman (born June 20, 1952) is an American actor.
Goodman went to Affton High School. He won an athletics scholarship to play football at Missouri State University as a teenager, but subsequently decided to become an actor, leaving Missouri for New York in 1975. He then appeared on stage off-Broadway, in dinner theaters and on TV advertisements before playing character parts in films in the early 1980s.
Goodman is best known for comic roles, including Roseanne Barr's husband in the TV sitcom Roseanne, the voice of Sulley in Monsters, Inc., and Fred Flintstone in the film The Flintstones. He has appeared in many roles in films by The Coen Brothers. Goodman is frequently cast as blue-collar characters and / or as the main character's sidekick, for example in Sea of Love, as Al Pacino's police partner, in The Big Lebowski as Jeff "The Dude" Lebowski's best friend Walter Sobchak, and Fallen, as police partner to Denzel Washington. Standing 6 ft 2 in (1.88 m) and weighing nearly 400 lb (180 kg), Goodman had to lose weight in order to play Babe Ruth in the 1992 movie The Babe.
In 2000, Goodman had his own short-lived sitcom called Normal, Ohio, in which he played a gay man who returns to his small hometown to start a new life. Viewers didn't respond well and critics panned the show. In 2004, he starred alongside Jean Smart in the CBS sitcom Center of the Universe; it, too, was critically panned and quickly cancelled.
Goodman has also been a popular guest host on NBC's Saturday Night Live (he had auditioned to be a cast member in 1980, but was rejected). Goodman also had a recurring role on The West Wing, as fictional former House Speaker Glen Allen Walken, briefly serving as Acting President when President of the United States Josiah Bartlet yielded power temporarily under the terms of the 25th Amendment to the United States Constitution. He also played someone who unexpectedly became a head of state in the film King Ralph, after the ruling family of the United Kingdom dies in a freak electrical accident.
John Goodman has a star on the St. Louis Walk of Fame and is part-owner of O'Leary's, an Irish pub restaurant in South St. Louis County.
John Goodman temporarily replaced the late John Belushi (Jake Blues) as Dan Aykroyd's partner in the latter's popular Blues Brothers Band. He first appeared as "Mighty" Mack Blues on Saturday Night Live on March 25, 1995 and went on to star in the film Blues Brothers 2000. He continued to perform alongside Aykroyd (Elwood Blues) and Jim Belushi (Zee Blues) through 2001. Soon after that, health problems forced him to shelve the character.
Goodman has been married to Annabeth Hartzog since 1989. They share one child, daughter Molly Goodman (born August 31, 1990). Goodman resides in New Orleans, Louisiana when he isn't involved in the production of a film or television series, and he participates in Mardi Gras every year.
Goodman lent his voice to a series of Dunkin Donuts commercials beginning in September 2006 in the United States.

In a bombshell piece The Washington Post has reported that Attorney General Jeff Sessions twice met with Russia's ambassador to the U.S. last year, something he lied about during his confirmation hearing.
According to the Post, Sessions had a private phone conversation with Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak that took place in September in Session's office. The call was made "at the height of what U.S. intelligence officials say was a Russian cyber campaign to upend the U.S. presidential race."
At the time of the conversation Sessions was not only a senior member of the Armed Services Committee; he was one of then-candidate Trump's top foreign policy advisers.
During Session's confirmation hearing in the Judiciary Committee on January 10th, Sen. Al Franken (D-Minn.) asked him what actions he would take if he was presented evidence that someone affiliated with the Trump campaign communicated with the Russian government in the course of the 2016 campaign.

Not sure what this statement means, but if a Barbie Cam is anything like a Pixel Vision camera, I like to shoot a test with it. 5 hours ago, webrunner5 said: Comparing a Kinefinity FF Mavo to a Panavision is well, laughable. Why? There are certainly will be differences in the format, and certain color nuances, but what exactly do you think will better or worse in the performance/usability/reliability between the Panavision DXL and the FF Kinefinity Mavo (which has not yet been released)? 5 hours ago, webrunner5 said: It is advertised as a FF camera. It is NOT a FF camera. Well, the page from the dealer ProAV is a little misleading, but that dealer does list the sensor size in at least two places on the page. In addition, the results are almost identical to using a full frame lens having an FFD of an EF lens or longer. Plus, you get an extra stop of brightness over using just a full frame lens with a full frame sensor, and you also have the option to use any S35 lens directly and get complete coverage (which is not possible with a non-croppable FF sensor). Furthermore, you can use FF lenses with a tilt adapter, which works perfectly with an S35 sensor. By the way, Kinefinity will be releasing their FF Mavo sometime soon. 5 hours ago, webrunner5 said: I can take a A6000 and add a SB and it is NOT a FF camera. It is a APSC camera that pretends to be a FF camera. With a good speedbooster, the results would be almost identical to a FF camera, plus you get that extra stop and the other options mentioned above. 5 hours ago, webrunner5 said: Why in the hell would anyone Ever pay the extra money for a FF camera if all you had to do was buy a new 500 dollar cheap ass APSC camera and add a SB? I am glad you asked that question! There are a lot of advantages (mentioned above) to using a focal reducer with a S35/APSC sensor over just shooting with a FF camera. On the other hand, a S35/APSC sensor cannot work if one wants to shoot MF inexpensively by using a MF speed booster (such as the Kipon) -- a FF camera with a shallow mount is required. Additionally, if a FF camera with a shallow mount features a decent S35/APSC crop, then one has the best of both worlds! Such a camera is extremely versatile! So, there are valid reasons to get a FF camera over shooting equivalent FF with a S35/APSC camera and a focal reducer. Of course, there are also those who want FF who cannot fathom using a focal reducer or any other kind of adapter. 5 hours ago, webrunner5 said: Why would any dumbass ever buy the Kinefinity FF Mavo when all they have to do is slap a SB on the cheap Kinefinity? Well, most of the dumbasses are probably going with Canon -- not Kinefinity. Canon makes good cameras, but due to the brand popularity it appeals to the "low common denominator." Some might buy the FF Mavo over a camera with smaller sensor because of the reasons I gave directly above. 5 hours ago, webrunner5 said: Cause it Ain't the same thing. The results are virtually identical with a quality focal reducer. 5 hours ago, webrunner5 said: 5 hours ago, tupp said: By the way, which camera do you have with an APSC sensor? Unless you can afford the Angenieux or the newer White Point alternatives, your camera needs to have a shallow mount to take a focal reducer -- that's sort of the point that a few of us have been trying to make in several forum threads. Ever heard of a Canon 550D, a 80D, Sony A6000? Yes. All good cameras. However, you probably won't be able to put any existing speedbooster on the 550D and the 80D, because they don't have a shallow mount. Did I mention that you have to have a shallow mount to use a speedbooster (and most other adapters)? Not sure I did, because you bring up the 550D and 80D -- both of which have EF mounts (not shallow). This point seems lost on many, as apparently some of us can repeat several times that a shallow mount it necessary to use a speedbooster and most other adapters (and, hence, most other lenses), and the point doesn't seem to sink in. You do understand that a shallow mount is required to use speedboosters, tilt adapters and adapters for most lenses, don't you? There is a whole universe of lenses that cannot work with EF nor PL mounts. These are the reasons why some of us push for cameras to have shallow mounts. One exception to this might be the focal reducer designed for the Angenieux EZ-1 zooms, but they cannot fit on every DSLR, and, of course, they only work with the Angenieux EZ-1 zooms -- they don't work with any other lenses. Angenieux can considerably lighten one's wallet, as well. Not sure, but I think that the White Point focal reducer is designed to work only with the White Point medium format lenses, and I think that the only mount for those focal reducers are PL mount. So, this new White Point setup might be an exception to the MF focal reducer requiring a shallow mount. 1 IronFilm reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites


text: So, we have a strike in Tinseltown and the studios SHOULD be giving the writers their fair share of future revenues that WILL be generated from viewing their work on the internet. Or maybe the writers should just form another guild entirely that is digital only for the web. It strikes me that there will be more producers and actors and writers that will migrate their efforts on the internet once its been shown that a new TV show can produce some significant coin from their debut online. Since there are many more households with broadband now than ever before I wonder how many people would watch 'American Idol' or 'Lost' online FIRST given the chance? And then watch the repeats on TV. I wonder what the online viewing numbers must measure for the advertisers to allow the web to 'go first'. It could be an interesting paradigm shift if it happens one day.

In honour of World AIDS Day, a feature length documentary film made possible by the MAC AIDS Fund has been released on Netflix and SnagFilms.
In 'It's Not Over', filmmaker Andrew Jenks follows the every day lives of three people living with or affected by HIV in very different, yet connected ways. He visits India, South Africa and the USA to show the global epidemic first hand from a very human and personal perspective.
Jenks manages to show how much we are all connected across generations, countries and cultures. The human condition and the fragility of life is something we all share regardless of our sexuality, age, race, or colour.
The film is aimed at young people, as it is the younger generation who will lead us to an AIDS-free generation. Every day approximately 1,800 young people become infected with HIV. In 2013, globally an estimated 5 million adolescents (10-24) were living with HIV.
The MAC AIDS Fund was established in 199 to support men, women and children affected by HIV/AIDS. The fund has raised more than $240 million (US_ through the sale of MAC's Viva Glam lipstick and lip glass, donating 100% of the sale price of the lipsticks to HIV/AIDS.

31 Day Blog Challenge - Day 29
Day 29 - Where Have You Travelled.
Well, as you all have probably gathered, I have been to South Africa. I have been there three times now, first in 1996, then in 2001 and lastly back in January this year.
Other than that, I haven't really travelled abroad since I was 12. I'm guessing for the purposes of this post Butlins and visiting family in Wales don't count! lol.
When I was a child my mum and dad loved to do camping holidays abroad. When I say camping, what I mean is going to the campsites that have the huge tents already set up for you. We loved this as kids and would go off with the holiday reps for the kids clubs every day. Mum recalls one morning when the reps were up partying rather late the night before and me, my sisters and cousins would be the ones that goes to wake them up! lol.
With these holidays I have been to France, Spain and Italy. On one of the trips we passed through Switzerland as well, but I don't remember that too well.
When the boys are a little bit older I would love to start doing these types of holidays with them. We have been to Butlins with them a few times, but I think there is something special about going abroad. My ultimate dream would be to go to Disneyland Paris (the American ones are way beyond my budget unless I was to win the lottery!!). I really want to do that before the boys get too old for it to be totally magical for them.

A dog's bond with his human is strong, but a dog's friendship with a stranger puppy is even stronger. Eleven-year-old Charlie was a cheerful canine back in his youth, but when he lost both his eyes a few years back, his owners noticed that he was never the same.
His eyes had to be removed because of glaucoma. He was okay after the surgery and adapted well into his new life, but there was just something missing. He lost his spirits and cheerfulness.
So his owners, Chelsea Stipe and her husband, thought that it would be best for Charlie to have a furry company in his twilight years. And that was were this adorable pup named Maverick came into the spotlight. The moment they brought home the puppy, Charlie already formed a bond with the little one.
They instantly clicked and were inseparable since then. It was as if Maverick became Charlie's new light, and the senior dog was never better. They would continuously mess around the house, playing with the toys Charlie didn't even touch before Maverick came.
Although only a few months old, Maverick is one smart pooch. He understands that Charlie is different and helps him out whenever he can. He keeps him in line during their walks and is always on the lookout for him. He was like his little guardian angel.
Whenever they play, the pup would instantly put toys in front of Charlie so he wouldn't have to scour the area. Maverick also makes sure that he sleeps beside Charlie to let him know that he's not alone. They would go anywhere with each other, on car rides, on the front porch, even on walks to the kitchen.
Charlie became happier and livelier with Maverick around. The pup definitely made the rest of his years twinkle.
Watch their cute story here.

As more and more medicinal benefits of marijuana are surfacing, searches for phrases like "420 recommendations near me" on search engines are on a surge. Applying for medical marijuana recommendations has now become very easy. People are using cannabis for medical as well as recreational purposes.
But no matter why you use it, there, always, is a chance of overdoing it. And when done, the after-effects are not so good.
We all get high. Sometimes it's good, sometimes not so much. And bad highs suck. These can make us paranoid. We lose control of our bodies. And the situation can be embarrassing if we are with our parents or co-workers.
Almost every cannabis enthusiast can recite a story about the time when they overdid it and how bad it was. And therefore, they are always on a look for some ways to sober up as quickly as possible in the future.
Well, researchers and some innovative cannabis consumers have surfaced some effective ways to come down from an intense high. Unfortunately, "Smoking more" is not on the list. But, "not smoking anymore" is not-so-obvious, maybe.
Here's an interesting fact: You gotta stop smoking more if you are feeling uncomfortably high. Also, you gotta be way more cautious if you are taking edibles, as they can take time to fully show the effects.
Now, once you have stopped consuming more, you can try the quick tips given below to get yourself down.
Try Black Peppercorn
Yes. That's correct. Black peppercorn, that is normally used to make your food spicy, can actually help you sober up.
This is a tried and tested method by many marijuana consumers. According to them, black peppercorn has the ability to instantly take you down from an intense high. Though simply sniffing can work very well, chewing makes it more effective.
Drink Water
No matter how high you are, you should keep this in mind. Drink as much water as possible. This will calm you down after that heavy dose of marijuana. Also, not only will water help you with dry mouth but it will also work as a distraction for your over-concerned mind. You will be focusing on small tasks like taking a sip and swallowing.
A few people may also prefer drinking juice or eating some other things. However, you gotta be cautious about what flavor you choose. Some flavors, like mangoes, may enhance the effects of marijuana.
Try Distracting Yourself
Try to shift your mind to some other activities. You may try taking a small walk, listening to music, watching your favorite television show or having a conversation with your friends. Any activity can help you distract from your cannabis anxiety. The activity that you enjoy can make that marijuana high time pass by without you even realizing it.
Take a Shower
If you are in a comfortable place like your home or your friend's place, you may take a quick shower. It's like mental hydration. It will calm you down, lower your heart rate, and make you feel relaxed.
After the shower, take some deep breaths and put on some new clothes. Though you might still not be fully sober, you will be calmer.
Take a Quick Nap
Nothing can make you feel better than a quick refreshing nap. So, if you have some time, do it. This is surely the easiest and most effective way to calm yourself down and feel relaxed. A quick, half an hour nap can help you control your anxiety. You will feel rested and a lot more energized.
Besides, marijuana smoking high doesn't last much longer. A nap can make the time go by fast, and you won't be feeling the peaks of the weed if you are asleep.
Marijuana, obviously, has a lot of medical benefits. A lot of people are consuming it for recreational purposes also. But it's very important to understand how your body works with cannabis. And to make sure you don't overdo it, try finding what works for you the best, and then stick to it.
And if you wanna fully experience the medical benefits of cannabis, we recommend you apply for a medical marijuana recommendation now.

The water swamped
The bucket into the dark depths
Of evening time.
No one came to help
The time passed,
The trees withered
From root rot
No leaves grew
No birds dared roost.
The rain fell,
The floods carried
It all away–
The old people forgot the swamp
Then they died
And the living wore
Innocent faces without smiles.
So it goes…

New Zealander Alfred Hill (1869–1960) has become fairly well known, as neglected composers go, thanks to the success of the previous volume in this Dominion series, which covered the first three of his 17 quartets (welcomed by Colin Anderson in 31:2). As a young player in the Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchestra, Hill worked with many of the great composers and conductors of the day, and then returned south for a long Antipodean career, most of it in Australia. He was a distinguished academic, and wrote around 500 works. Quartet movements were often rearranged to go into his symphonies, and they also show up in other chamber disguises. But he was a real quartet composer, and if these works are any guide, Hill had the singular virtue of knowing when to stop, so his movements rarely drag. His tunes are good, and plentiful. They are better than the melodies shaped by some of Hill's supposed models, and he clearly would not write a movement, unless there were some strong themes and textures ready to go into it. The form serves the content, bucking the mid-century trend. Hill's music, on this showing, is always pleasant to listen to. It starts out like a solid take on the European nationalists, then (already by the time of this Eighth Quartet) grows harmonic tendrils in the manner of Elgar, Delius, Bax, and the earlier Bridge.
What this means, historically, is that by 1934 (the date of the Eighth), Hill's work had begun to catch late, reflected echoes of the Debussy Quartet (1893), though you can also hear some Debussy in the Fourth Quartet (1916), as well as some Haydnesque moods all through. One movement here is based on a theme from a very well known Classical masterpiece (try the Scherzo of the Sixth Quartet, all of which has fun with Classical models). But towering over Hill's other models, shading even the Grieg influence, is the Dvořák "American" Quartet. If you don't like that work, then avoid this Naxos release. You'll be missing some calm enjoyment, though, if you do. Hill's individuality shines through (the Fourth in C Minor is a strong piece on its own terms, with a feisty Rondo finale), and the CD has a very positive feel. Playing, recording, and some modest music, entirely idiomatic in the writing for strings, come together to brighten your day.
Verdict: A striking second instalment of our chamber music history…There is a pioneering spirit at work in this Naxos project to record all 17 of his Quartets and these Wellington string players are clearly proud to be part of it.
The 1916 Fourth Quartet is at its most adventurous in its second movement. Violist Maurice introduces the first theme tenderly, although one senses Hill is striving for a big tune that never quite comes. A student-exercise Scherzo is cosy and predictable while its Finale, despite an "Allegro con spirito" marking, too often takes a cautious canter in Mendelssohn country.
Eleven years later, the Sixth Quartet, titled The Kids, was intended for Hill's music students at the New South Wales Conservatorium. Working within self-imposed limitations, both technically and musically, the composer achieves some minor miracles, especially in the harmonic quicksand of the work's first 13 bars. Only the stony-hearted could not be swept away by its rollicking Scherzo.
The 1934 Eighth Quartet is made of sterner stuff. Both its harmonic language and its structural ingenuities create a sense of questing and inspire some of the finest playing on the disc, showcased in Wayne Laird's exemplary production.
This is the second volume in Naxos' ongoing survey of Australian composer Alfred Hill's (1869-1960) string quartets. [Vol 1 available on 8.570491 TARGET http://www.naxos.com/catalogue/item.asp?item_code=8.570491]. As far as late romantic composers from "Down Under" are concerned, Hill is without a doubt the major one. Born in Australia, he spent most of his early life in New Zealand, but went to Leipzig in 1887, where he studied at the conservatory, graduating in 1891. Hill then returned to New Zealand, spending the rest of his life there and in Australia, where he became a distinguished professor of music and highly prolific composer. While there's confusion over the total number of works he wrote with one estimate running as high as over two thousand, there are seventeen known string quartets.
In Germany Hill encountered the music of all the great European romantic composers. Consequently his early works, including the first three quartets on volume one (see the newsletter of 30 June 2007) show the influence of Dvořák and Tchaikovsky. But by the time we get to the three here, he was beginning to evolve a style all of his own.
The four-movement fourth quartet (1916) appears for the first time in its entirety on this CD. The opening allegro is an engaging tunefest that's followed by a gorgeous adagio with Elgarian overtones. The scherzo apparently dates from his Leipzig years, and sounds somewhat folksy as well as Viennese in spirit. The final rondo might well have been inspired by one of Beethoven's late quartets. Perspicacious listeners familiar with Hill's Pursuit of Happiness Symphony (No. 4, 1941) will recognize that its first two movements are orchestrations of those opening this quartet.
Intended for performance by his students, the sixth quartet (1927) is subtitled "The Kids." Hill shows his considerable skill as a composer by writing a piece that can be played by beginners, but has enough musical sophistication to hold listener interest. He does this by adhering to simple classical structures like those found in the quartets of Mozart and Schubert, while impregnating the music with wonderfully inventive rhythms and harmonies.
The last offering on this disc is the eighth quartet (1934), which after almost seventy-five years makes its debut here. In four movements, the opening one begins with an impressionistic sounding introduction that could almost be out of Debussy or Ravel. Then a couple of lovely melodic ideas are introduced which form the basis for what turns out to be a sonata form allegro. The brief mercurial intermezzo and beautiful, at times pentatonic, andante that follow find Hill at the height of his creative powers. The finale is for the most part rather English-sounding, and has a fugal central development section. French influences are also present in the form of more Ravel-like passages, and the cyclic return of previous motifs à la César Franck. The work ends with a jocund hee-haw coda as if Hill were asking his audience not to take him too seriously.
The performances by the Dominion String Quartet of New Zealand, while for the most part committed, are a bit perfunctory in places. This will be particularly apparent to those who have the Australian String Quartet's performance of "The Kids" that appeared a number of years ago on a Marco Polo CD (no longer available). But with repertoire this rare and interesting, we're lucky to have what's here.
The recordings are generally good with an adequate soundstage, but some may find the venue rather confining. The string sound is certainly natural, but there are isolated low frequency noises, probably occasioned by traffic outside the theater where these recordings were made.
The second volume in Naxos's edition of Alfred Hill's string quartets gives us an even numbered trio of works where the first [.570491] offered the opening salvo of the first three of them. The quartets recorded here come from three different decades. The earliest, the Fourth, was written slap bang in the middle of the First World War whilst the second came just before the Great Depression. No. 8 dates from 1934, so that chronology has been replaced by a more discursive, selective approach.
As before I've not heard any rival recordings—though it would have been interesting to have heard the Australian Quartet in the Sixth (Marco Polo 8.223746) and before the Eleventh is released I'd like to hear them in that too, as Hill always said that this was his favourite from amongst his corpus of quartets.
So let's get down to it. As we saw in the previous volume the post-Leipzig hangover lasted quite a time for Hill and I have to report that the same range of influences is strongly active in these works though as we move forward the importance of Debussy becomes more evident. The Fourth Quartet dates from 1916. Immediately one thinks of Dvořák and maybe very early Bridge—the Bridge who arranged lighter fare such as Londonderry Air for example and certainly not the later exploratory chamber composer. Slavic elements are present, as well as maybe a little Elgar in the slow movement, which is gravely lyric in Hill's best style. The scherzo is engaging with a lilting B section and a strong drone running through, folkloric and Dvořákian once more. Hill sometimes evoked Schubert in these works – and there's an element of that in the finale along with some generous lyricism and plenty of vitality. Incidentally the first two movements of the quartet were recycled by Hill for the first two movements of his Symphony in C minor known as 'The Pursuit of Happiness'.
Quartet No. 6 was probably composed in Sydney, in 1927. Its subtitle, The Kids, refers to his composition students at the New South Wales Conservatorium of Music where he taught. It's light and frothy, very much in the vein of an educative work, written for students and not too demanding at all. It adheres to classical principles but is at its best in the second movement which advances a fine chorale-like tune and some interesting opportunities for characterisation. The third movement is the most harmonically up-to-date; elsewhere there's a fugal, Haydn influenced finale.
Stronger challenges come in the Eighth Quartet. This is influenced by Debussy though there are still residual Dvořákian elements as well, even this relatively late in the compositional day. The scherzo is fleet, fast and furious and over in a flash. But the Debussian slow movement resolves to warmly lyric writing and is the centrepiece of the quartet. The fusing of impressionist and pleine air moments is a marked feature of the writing.
The recording quality once again is excellent and the playing committed. There's more to get one's teeth into with this volume of the quartets though I am keenly awaiting as I noted earlier the volume containing a performance of No. 11.

Testing our first course and I would like to remove a test learner and then re-add him to test the course. But when I do that, his old activities seem to be remembered?
Testing our first course and I would like to remove a test learner and then re-add him to test the course. But when I do that, his old activities seem to be remembered?
Hi, Laurie, I apologize that no one from Instructure has responded to your question before now. Rather than removing and re-adding the learner, you'd want to use the Edit Learner Progress feature to remove the old activities by resetting the student. That's explained in How do I view course details? (scroll down to Edit Learner Progress to see how to reset the student).
I'm sorry, I phrased this question badly. I am able to reset learners in Courses. What I cannot do is remove a Learner from a Program. What I really want to do it remove myself from a Program and then re-enroll myself so I can test changes to the Program - and see it as if I was a totally new Learner.
I have a course that's a SCORM in my Program. If I complete the SCORM, then update it - and reset myself - I still see the old version of the SCORM. So there's no way to test that either.
Laurie, with regard to the SCORM aspect of the question, in SCORM courses there is an option in the settings area to migrate enrollment. If the learner completes the SCORM course, Bridge will keep it unless you enable that migrate option; resetting it doesn't keep the enrollment in that version. With external enrollment ID, the specific ID # follows them, so if you reset them in the course, they still have the same enrollment ID. The migrate option in settings allows you to give them a new enrollment ID.
Generally speaking, because each SCORM placement is unique, we recommend that our Bridge users reach out to support to troubleshoot SCORM-related questions. A member of Bridge Support will be able to look directly at the SCORM settings and get to the bottom of each issue.

Price's latest start makes big statement
Left-hander allows one run in complete-game gem against Royals
KANSAS CITY -- Tigers general manager Dave Dombrowski walked into manager Brad Ausmus' office in the visiting clubhouse at Kauffman Stadium on Saturday night, sat down on the couch and smiled.
"That was impressive," Dombrowski said.
That was a 2-1 Tigers victory against the Royals, featuring David Price carrying a shutout until Lorenzo Cain's two-out home run in the bottom of the ninth before the lefty finished up with only the sixth complete game in the big leagues this season.
That was what Detroit had in mind on July 31 last season when it shipped center fielder Austin Jackson to Seattle and left-hander Drew Smyly and top shortstop prospect Willy Adames to Tampa Bay to add Price for last year's pennant drive.
And that was why the Tigers were willing to shell out an arbitration-eligible record $19.75 million contract to Price in the winter, wanting to keep him for at least one more year before he becomes a free agent with the idea that he could provide the type of leadership on the mound that could take Detroit to a World Series championship.
As Ausmus put it, "That is why we acquired him. He is one of the best pitchers in baseball."
How good is Price? Good enough that at the age of 29, he could easily earn his fifth All-Star invite in six years this summer. Good enough that Price won the AL Cy Young Award in 2012. Good enough that he has had double-digit win totals each of the past six seasons, including leading the Majors with 20 wins in that Cy Young Award-winning summer of '12.
Good enough that Saturday night Price slowed down a Kansas City team on a roll. The Tigers are the four-time defending AL Central champions, but the Royals made their presence felt a year ago, taking the Wild Card route into the postseason, claiming the AL pennant and then forcing the champion Giants to seven games in the World Series.
And this year, Kansas City is still moving forward. With wins on Thursday and Friday night against Detroit, the Royals moved into first place in the AL Central and are still a half-game in front of the Tigers after the Saturday matchup with Price.
"They are an extremely confident group right now," said Price. "They have had an edge all year."
It may have been dulled a bit on Saturday, though.
"We'll see [Sunday]," said Price. "They played better than us the first two games. We played better baseball [Saturday night]."
And that was because Price was right, more than anything else. He was coming off two disappointing starts, allowing eight runs and retiring only seven batters against the Yankees on April 22, and then giving up three runs in 6 1/3 innings at Minnesota last Monday, needing 109 pitches to get those 19 outs.
Price found redemption against Kansas City, pitching such a strong game that Ausmus didn't even step toward the field after the Cain home run, intent on allowing him to stay in the game "until he was in a position to get a loss."
It never happened. That was the way Price wanted it.
Price followed up the home run by Cain with a strikeout of Eric Hosmer that put the wrap on his five-hit, walk-free 106-pitch effort.
Price threw three or fewer pitches to 22 of the 31 batters he faced. He allowed only one runner past first base, other than Cain on his home run trot in the ninth. And that runner was his own fault. Price misplayed a slow grounder back to the mound from Alex Gordon with one out in the sixth, which allowed Christian Colon, who had singled, to advance to second.
"He is deceptive," Colon said. "It is really hard to pick up the ball. That's why he is one of the best pitchers in the game."
How good? Good enough that Ausmus, who has seen some of the better pitchers to ever play the game during his 18 big league seasons, doesn't hesitate to put Price in a class with Dodgers left-hander Clayton Kershaw.
Oh, Ausmus could draw parallels to the likes of Randy Johnson and Kevin Brown, as well, in terms of competitiveness, but there's a calmness about Price and Kershaw.
"Their makeup is similar," Ausmus said. "Both of them also have that mindset that nobody that can come in from the bullpen has a better chance to get the hitter out than they do. It's a great asset for a pitcher, believing he can get a hitter out. Kershaw and Price are of that mindset even if they've thrown 125 pitches."
That is not an attitude Price worked to develop. It just comes naturally.
"I want to finish everything I start," he said. "I'm never going to take myself out of the game. I want to get all 27 outs. I tell the trainers before every game, 'See you after nine.'"
Price made the trainers wait for all 27 outs on Saturday, which was the way the Tigers liked it.

Colombia Makes Strides on Climate Change Mitigation
According to the study "Climate Change Resilient Infrastructure Projects," the Adaptation Fund is emerging as a benchmark for projects that reduce the risks of climate change impacts.
The study was shared during an event organized by the Adaptation Fund, Fedesarrollo and CAF—development bank of Latin America—, which presented the results of the research and the lessons learned from the work performed by the Adaptation Fund.
According to the study, developing infrastructure that adequately meets the needs of each community needs to consider cultural features, including uses, customs and traditions.
It is also clear that the investment made through entities such as the Adaptation Fund helps reduce fiscal risk of countries due to the impact of disasters caused by climate phenomena such as El Niño or La Niña. In other words, investing in climate change resilience and adaptation projects helps improve the quality of life of countries and reduce possible disaster losses, such as those that occurred in Colombia with La Niña in 2010-2011.
The research also warns that infrastructure components need to revitalize the economy, as a cornerstone of project sustainability and productive development of communities.
Similarly, with interventions such as those carried out by the Adaptation Fund in rural and remote areas, the presence of the state becomes more visible, and strengthens inter-institutional ties in the regions.
The experiences presented during the event are based on two housing projects developed by the Adaptation Fund: La Mojana Zone 2 in San Benito Abad (Sucre) and Siapana II in Uribia (La Guajira); as well as transport projects such as the Yatí-Bodega highway in Bolivar.
The forum "An Experience of the Adaptation Fund to Build a More Sustainable Country" also featured a panel involving experts on climate change and adapted infrastructure, moderated by Ximena Cadena, deputy director of Fedesarrollo.

Tewari meets Fernandes; questions hike in toll-tax on highway
Union information and broadcasting minister Manish Tewari on Thursday met the Union minister of road transport and highways Oscar Fernandes and sought early completion of the six laning of the Jalandhar-Panipat highway, which has been unduly delayed for a long time due to unexplained reasons.punjab Updated: Sep 05, 2013 18:51 IST
Union information and broadcasting minister Manish Tewari on Thursday met the Union minister of road transport and highways Oscar Fernandes and sought early completion of the six laning of the Jalandhar-Panipat highway, which has been unduly delayed for a long time due to unexplained reasons.
Tewari also sought an elevated bridge at the Mullanpur Market to ensure that the market functioned smoothly. He led a delegation from Ludhiana to meet Fernandes in his office and made a strong case for constructing an elevated road in the Mullanpur Market.
He said, in case the existing bridge is constructed, which is on a single span, it will lead to the closure of about 75 per cent of the market. He said that Mullanpur is an important market surrounded by scores of villages. It will not only mean closure of an important trading centre in the area but also lot of unemployment.
Referring to the continuous and unexplained delay in the completion of the six-laning of the National Highway between Jalandhar and Panipat, Tewari said, it has been causing lot of harassment to thousands of commuters from the states of Punjab, Haryana, Himachal Pradesh, and Jammu and Kashmir.
The minister expressed surprise that when the work on the highway has remained suspended for over a year now, the Soma-Isolux, the company which has been awarded the contract for the project project, has raised the toll-tax and has been raising it quite regularly. This has really infuriated the public, he said, while pointing out; this is unjustified and simply amounts to extortion.
Tewari said, only last month a bus fell into a canal leading to death of all the passengers traveling in it and the accident was caused because of the incomplete road. He said that several accidents are caused just because of the poor condition of the roads and onus for which lies on the construction company.
The minister strongly urged Fernandes to ensure that a final deadline is fixed for the completion of the six-laning project. He said, actually there should be no toll tax till the work remains suspended and instead the company is regularly increasing the tax, which is unacceptable.
Fernandes appreciated the concern of Tewari and other delegation members and assured that he will look into the matter on urgent priority.
The delegation included district Congress president Pawan Dewan, Paramjeet Singh Ghawaddi, Teluram Bansal, Baldev Raj, Amarjeet Joshi, Virender Singh, Vinay Kumar Verma, Ravinder Singh, Ashish Khurana and Harvinder Singh.

A Thousand Earthquake Victims In Muğla
After the 7.2 earthquake in Van, 1000 of earthquake victims struggling to survive in tents will come to Muğla due to severe weather conditions.
It is reported that 1000 earthquake victims in Erciş, Van will come to Muğla due to rough weather.
For the citizens of Van, social facilities, hotels and recreational facilities were attempted to set, and studies being carried out carefully to avoid any negativity. Extensive information on the subject expected to be announced in the coming days.
After the big Van earthquake, some citizens were sent to various provinces to to spend the winter season and 1000 of them will be hosted in touristic facilities of Muğla.
Bodrum Hoteliers Association (BODER) declared that they could not take care of the earthquake victims for the occupancy rate of the facilities is 90 percent. An authority said simply "Our facilities were open at 17 August earthquake. We could then host the victims in September and October. " The situation did not differ in Marmaris.
Hoteliers Association of South Aegean (GETOB) Chairman İlhan Açıkgöz said "Many of the facilities are closed due to the end of the season in Marmaris. We, as NOA Hotels welcome earthquake victims in our own facilities. In Sarıgerme, 50 families have been accepted in our facilities. Another 50 will be accepted in Marmaris facilities. Besides, we work as GETOB. Touristic facilities were closed, but most lodgings are open. We would like to allocate this lodgings to victims of the earthquake. We work hard on it.

Hey donks, sorry for the lack of posts. Work's been really busy lately. I moved up in limits but got bitchslapped by variance – so had to move back down again. Probably just as well because I have to pay rent soon and can't afford extra risks. Good news is that in a month I should have enough Frequent Player Points to get this:
Es nice, no? Very very sexy.
Book O' Teh Week update:
Oh yah: the Johnsons are coming this weekend from Chicago so I'm very much looking forward to that. Maybe the Columbus juckets will visit too.

Close window
Picturing having to balance a busy degree with the commitments of a sports team isn't exactly something that would excite most people. The stress of meeting deadlines and surviving hungover morning lectures is enough, without adding training and matches to that.
But the pressure of fitting a sporting career around your degree might actually be more beneficial than playing it safe and just focussing on your classes. Seriously. Let me explain.
"Student life isn't always straightforward, and when it throws the academic equivalent of pulled hamstring at you, the resilient and adaptable mindset you picked up on the field can be put to use just as well off the field."
The link between exercise and increased mood and mental health is one that's been increasingly emphasised in recent years. Even the NHS recommends exercise to help deal with mild depression and anxiety. It improves your mood, boosts your self-esteem, and just makes you feel good. You tell me, are you more likely to smash that essay when you're feeling yourself, or when you just feel like lying in bed and binging Netflix?
As well as tangible effects on your mood, getting involved in sport brings a host of challenges that translate into transferable skills. Fitting in your three training sessions, two matches, four lectures, homework, gym, dog petting sessions, World of Warcraft raiding and cooking classes all into the same week is tough. But it means you learn better time management skills than an angry line chef at an all you can eat restaurant.
John Ratey, a psychiatrist at Harvard, talked about the neurological link between exercise and mental performance in his book Spark. Comparing MRI scans of previously sedentary people to when they had improved their fitness, he found an increase in the size of the hippocampus – the part of the brain most related to memory and learning.
Athletes are mentally flexible and versatile, good communicators, improvisers, and have to deal with unexpected setbacks like injuries. Student life isn't always straightforward, and when it throws the academic equivalent of pulled hamstring at you, the resilient and adaptable mindset you picked up on the field can be put to use just as well off the field. And of course, it's important to remember that these aren't some mystical qualities that are held exclusively by athletes, they're learned skills. Just because you haven't been playing sport yet doesn't mean you can't – and even if you're not the most physically gifted there's always some sport out there that'll suit you. For all you know, you could be the next Quidditch or Korfball star.
In short, exercise is great. Even if you don't think it's for you, I've seen first hand (from playing and coaching lacrosse) so many people who were always the ones faking doctor's notes to skip PE suddenly falling in love with sport. So if you won't get involved with sport for it's own sake, do it for your degree. Who knew you could bump that 2:2 up to a 2:1 by running around and getting sweaty with a bunch of other people twice a week?
If you want to get involved with sport at Middlesex, go talk to the sports office (downstairs in MDX House) or come along to our catchily titled 'Social Activity Wednesdays'(in front of MDX House.)

New Overtime Rule Reportedly Sent to White House
The long-anticipated rewrite of the Obama-era overtime rule has been submitted to the White House and its Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review prior to the issuance of a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM), it has been reported.
This Trump-era rule is expected to set the salary threshold at which employees can be considered exempt from overtime pay at somewhere in the mid-$30,000s-a-year. The previous rule raised the bar all the way to $47,476 annually, but it was given the kibosh by a federal district judge.
Interestingly, that rule is still under review by the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans, and could become law. The issuance of a new NPRM would thwart that possibility.
Observers of the Department of Labor (DOL), where the proposed rule would originate, expect the NPRM to be released sometime in March, which would open a 90-day window for review by OMB. (There is no timetable for the draft proposal sent recently to the White House.) A March release would be in keeping with the DOL's latest regulatory agenda.
The current exemption threshold is $23,660 annually, which was established in the first term of the George W. Bush presidency. The threshold, and other overtime rules regarding work responsibilities and overtime exemption, spring from the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) of 1938, also known as the Wagner Act.

As I discussed yesterday, Walter Lippmann's viewed 'public opinion' as an entirely manufactured entity. On the individual level, we each have our biases and stereotypes which shape how we interpret and interact with the world around us. The thing we call public opinion is formed when elites use symbols to manipulate our individual stereotypes into a collective and relatively cohesive whole.
This leads to Lippmann's theory of nationalism:
These great symbols posses by transference all the minute and detailed loyalties of an ancient and stereotyped society. They evoke the feeling that each individual has for the landscape, the furniture, the faces, the memories that his first, and in a static society, his only reality. That core of images and devotions without which he is unthinkable to himself, is nationality.
Nationality, then, is perhaps the ultimate stereotype – it is a myth expanded beyond an individual's view, a shared stereotype which shapes our collective reality. Importantly, we hold these stereotypes not only of other nationalities, but of our own. Indeed, Lippmann argues, such national stereotypes are central to an individual's identity. It's little wonder we fight so hard over what it means to be a "real" American.
John Dewey seems to respond almost directly to this point in his 1927 book The Public and It's Problems. Symbols, he argues, aren't constructs to be warded against: they are the very thing which make community possible. Symbols "depend upon and promote communication." Dewey argues:
Events cannot be passed from one to another, but meanings may be shared by means of signs. Wants and impulses are then attached to common meanings. They are thereby transformed into desires and purposes, which, since they implicate a common or mutually understood meaning, present new ties, converting a joint activity into a community of interest and endeavor. Thus there is generated what, metaphorically, may be termed a general will and social consciousness: desire and choice on the part of individuals in behalf of activities that, by means of symbols, are communicable and shared by all concerned.
Lippmann sees 'public opinion' as intrinsically a manufactured myth; constructed by elites to create the illusion of national will. Dewey sees the opposite: in the great community, public opinion would be a genuine expression of a people's shared ethos. This vision builds on Dewey's broader sense of ideal citizens: each an "individually distinctive" community member indelibly co-created by the citizens and society around them.
It strikes me that these visions are not necessarily at odds.
Consider Dewey's vision applied to the microcosm of family life. It seems reasonable to argue that a person's core identity – who they are and what they believe – is deeply shaped by their intimate interactions at a personal family level.
This intricate interconnectedness has implications for the family as a community – families share stories, signs, and symbols. Siblings develop a shared sense of identity. Family members are individual distinctive, yet deeply connected. It is a great community, albeit on a very, very, local level.
If Lippmann's skepticism of national identity seems more accurate then, if Lippmann is the practical-headed theorists to Dewey's foolish idealism, it is not necessarily the concept that is wrong, but rather the scale.
When we see a person we don't know, Lippmann argues, we by necessity see that person as an object which we interpret through out stereotypes. It is contested whether we can ever really truly know another, and it is debatable whether we even truly know ourselves, but surely we can agree that no person has the capacity to truly know all other beings. As Lippmann explains:
In a circle of friends, and in relation to close associates or competitors, there is no shortcut through, and no substitute for an individualized understanding. Those whose whom we love and admire most are the men and women whose consciousness is peopled thickly with persons rather than with types, who know us rather than the classification into which we might fit. For even without phrasing it to ourselves, we feel intuitively that all classification is in relation to some purpose not necessarily our own; that between two human beings no association has final dignity in which each does not take the other as an end in himself. There is a taint on any contact between two people which does not affirm as an axiom the personal inviolability of both.
Thus, we might each divide the world into two circles: one is the intimate circle of people we know and who know us, those few "whose consciousness is peopled thickly with persons rather than with types." Into the other circle we dump everyone else, not as an intrinsic judgement, but rather a practical matter. For all those "others" – the mass of humanity – we are left with little choice but to interpret their existence as best we can economically: through heuristics, stereotypes, and bias.
Dewey would like to see us consider all people as intimately and humanely as we consider our family; Lippmann argues that is just not possible.
Lippmann may have the practical edge in this debate, but throughout his work he overlooks a key detail: a critical reason we should not be satisfied with his model.
Lippmann argues that the myth of public opinion is what does the public harm. That symbols and nationalism are little more than tools for elite manipulation. I am inclined to agree with him on this point.
But his solutions to this practical reality assume a just society. If all people have equal power and standing; if it makes little difference whether most people 'other' me because an intimate few do not; if society really were a collection of identical objects which we each view through our own narrow lens, then perhaps Lippmann's practical vision would do.
But the fact is, through our biases and stereotypes we do far worse than divide the world into an intimate circle of acquaintances and a mass of unknown person.
Rather we divide the world up into numerous circles of concern. We care more, generally speaking, for people who are "more like us." White Americans are inclined to care more for white Americans than for Americans of color; to care more for Americans than for foreigners; and to care more for the citizens of white nations than for others around the world. This is problematic and can have devastating repercussions.
As Peter Singer points out, some of this prioritizing may be justifiable – loving your children more than a stranger, for example, is hardly something to be discouraged. But passed family and close friendships, Singer argues that the moral justification for these circles of concern breaks down.
Particularly, odd, Singer finds, is the fervent embrace of nationalism. For all the reasons discussed above, it makes sense to love those people you know personally. But nationalism brings this love to abstraction:
Though citizens never encounter most of the other members of the nation, they think of themselves as sharing an allegiance to common institutions and values, such as a constitution, democratic procedures, principals of toleration, the separation of church and state, and the rule of law.
Here we get back to Lippmann's signs and symbols. Nationalism created by a false sense of shared identity.
Lippmann offers little solution but to recognize this sense as a falsehood. To disempower 'public opinion' and to recognize it as little more than a construct.
Dewey wants to make this shared sense have real meaning – building a global great community of mutually interdependent beings.
Singer for his part, takes a somewhat different tack. We have a constructed sense of national identity, which is false and ultimately meaningless, he argues – but it does bring a beneficial sense of community. Perhaps we cannot achieve a Deweyian vision of great interdependence, and perhaps we cannot simply destroy the constructs which govern our lives. But we can, he argues, push those circles of concern outwards.
We can reimagine ourselves not as citizens of a nation, but as citizens of the world.

Worshipping at Dor Hadash
At Congregation Dor Hadash we offer a variety of worship opportunities. Our services are welcoming, uplifting, spiritual and thought-provoking. Our prayer book, Siddur Kol Haneshama, offers transliteration for those who do not read Hebrew and alternative readings to provide an individualized worship experience along with the communal prayer. While children are welcome at all services, there are some that are geared more towards those who are younger.
Many people think of a synagogue as just a building, but ours is so much more than that. Jewish tradition teaches that the synagogue is a Beit Tefilah (house of prayer), a Beit Midrash (house of study) and a Beit Knesset (house of community). At Dor Hadash we sing, pray and study together in an inclusive, egalitarian setting.
Shabbat Services
Our Shabbat services generally are scheduled twice each month. Please check our calendar for details and specific dates.
Our traditional Erev Shabbat service begins with candle-lighting and a Kabbalat Shabbat, followed by songs and the evening prayers. These Friday evenings include a D'var Torah (discussion of the weekly Torah portion) or a guest speaker, and are followed by an Oneg where we mingle and nosh, and enjoy the Shabbat spirit together.
(Occasional) 4th Friday at 6:00 PM
All ages are welcome at our Family Shabbat Service, which is geared toward families with Religious School-age children. It is a joy to introduce our youngsters to the meaning and celebration of Shabbat! The service is followed by a communal potluck dinner.
2nd Saturday at 10:00 AM
Our congregant-led service is conducted mostly in Hebrew and includes prayer, reflections and lots of singing. Also included is the chanting of the week's Torah portion and a few minutes of teaching. This service is highly participatory and designed to engage all ages, especially Religious School-age children. Services are followed by a Kiddush in which all are welcome to enjoy lunch and socializing.
Download the Dor Hadash Morning Service Outline (pdf)
Shabbat morning Torah Study at 10:00 AM
Following a brief Shabbat morning service we engage in an informal and spirited conversation of the weekly Torah portion. No special level of Torah expertise is required to participate fully as we relate this ancient text to our daily lives.
At Congregation Dor Hadash we observe and celebrate the full range of Jewish life-cycle events. Please contact the Vice-President of Ritual for specific information.
The Hesed Committee visits congregants in need of healing, wherever they may be: at home, in a hospital, nursing facility, or hospice. Congregants are welcome to contact the Committee chairs if they or family members become ill and would like to arrange for a visit
High Holy Days and other Holiday Celebrations
Please check the calendar for special services for holidays and festivals.
The Dor Hadash open door policy
Since our founding in 1963, Dor Hadash has been committed to being a house of worship where all are welcome. In keeping with this goal, Dor Hadash invites anyone seeking a place to worship on Shabbat and other holidays to join us for services.
To ensure the strength of our synagogue community, we must have volunteer and financial support year-round. We, therefore, rely on people of good will to contribute their fair share. We anticipate that those who choose to attend our Shabbat or holiday services year after year will recognize the importance of formally joining our community.
Our dues policy, based on the ability to pay, ensures that everyone can afford to join. We welcome you to become members of our Dor Hadash family.
