Dodgers trade Harang to Rox for Hernandez
LOS ANGELES -- With a surplus of starting pitchers, the Dodgers traded right-hander Aaron Harang and cash to the Rockies for catcher Ramon Hernandez on Saturday. This was merely a financial move for Colorado, which made the deal to get Hernandez's salary off its books. The Rockies designated Harang for assignment and will look to find a trade partner for the right-hander.
A veteran who's made 293 starts in his career, Harang had been stashed in the bullpen to open the season but did not appear in a game. In 31 starts for the Dodgers in 2012, Harang was 10-10 with a 3.61 ERA.
"Aaron was the one guy that it was really tough to know how to use," manager Don Mattingly said before Saturday's game against the Pirates.
The Dodgers still have an excess of rotation-worthy pitchers, though. Left-hander Chris Capuano, who made 33 starts for the club last year, remains in the bullpen. Lefty Ted Lilly is on the disabled list and began a Minor League rehab assignment on Friday with Class A Rancho Cucamonga.
Hernandez, 36, is in his 15th season in the big leagues. The veteran catcher has a career .264 average and was an All-Star with Oakland in 2003. He was designated for assignment after Spring Training.
"Ramon gives us invaluable veteran experience and additional leadership at the catching position," said Dodgers general manager Ned Colletti. "He's worked with great pitching staffs in the past, and we feel he will provide solid contributions to our pitchers and be a great resource for A.J. [Ellis]."
The Dodgers now have three catchers: Ellis, Hernandez and rookie Tim Federowicz.
How long will the club carry three catchers on the active roster?
"We're not going to do it for an extended period of time," Mattingly said.
The Dodgers will need to make a roster move on Wednesday, as the club expects to activate right-hander Chad Billingsley from the disabled list to start at San Diego. Federowicz, who is scheduled to make his first start of the season in Sunday's series finale against Pittsburgh, appears the likely candidate to be optioned to the Minors.
According to multiple reports, the Dodgers are sending the Rockies $4.25 million. Harang is owed $7 million this year with a $2 million buyout for 2014. Hernandez is owed $3.2 million this season.

Arkansas Panel Denies $3 Million Claim For Bentonville Family
The father of a fourth-grader who was killed when a soccer goal fell on him at a school playground says he'll appeal the Arkansas Claims Commission's dismissal of his $3 million claim.
Jonathan Nelson was a fourth-grader at Elm Tree Elementary School in Bentonville when he was killed by an unanchored soccer goal that fell on top of him. Last week, the claims commission dismissed the Nelson family's claim without a hearing.
Nathan Nelson tells the Benton County Daily Record that he'll appeal the decision to the Arkansas Legislative Council's Claims Review Committee.
Commission director Norman Hodges says the decision was unanimous and he declined to elaborate. The claim was filed against the Department of Human Services, which licenses an after-school program that operates at the elementary school.

I guess covering them up is out of the question?

Having been on a C-17 three times, I do know how Hillary Clinton felt.
Every single time the plane was surrounded by thousands of local people.
There was no sniper fire but on one occasion F-16s flew over the aircraft providing some protection in case we were fired upon.
Upon exiting the plane the crew told us to have a good day and to be careful on the way out.
I got out onto the stairs, made my way down to the ground. A commotion off to the side caught my attention.
I ran over to buy a beer and hot dog. I really enjoyed the rest of the airshow.

Did you hear that one of Hillary's claims to be qualified for President was because she faced sniper fire when she was in Bosnia?
Seems Shaq O'Neil was on the same trip. No sniper fire. NO gun fire at all just an easy laid back trip. Films to prove it too.
Hillary said well, she "misspoke" about the trip. HELLO!!! You LIED!!!
No matter what anyone does, someone some where will be offended some how!!!!

How do you spell that new candidate's name ... "NONE of the Above" ??
RICHARD - will you accept a draft?
I guess we can say that of all the candidates only McCain qualifies for the Trial By "Fire" clause?
If they were sniping at HC and Shaq Diesel was standing next to her you'd have to be pretty bad with a gun. Shaq is 7 foot plus and some 325 pounds.
Dang. I just got it.
There is an actor by the name of Oliver something, No- not Oliver Stone, that B Richardson reminds me of.
Of course I will accept a draft......I love beer from the tap!

Richard, What I meant was I understood what you said about BO in
the post before mine. It wasn't Richardspeak & it got right to the point
in expressing your opinion.
Oh, Hillary's fib doesn't bother me much. It is the one qualification needed
by all politicians isn't it?
Mitt Romney is one strange dude. reminds me of the "Dad" in a 50s sit-com.

I am blown away that she thought she could get away with it. It is NOT misspeak. How can you claim to experience what she did when she obviously did not? Does she have Alzheimers? It is called lying. Maybe she is competing with McCain to get sympathy for being in a war zone.Originally Posted by lizbud
I agree completely with your statement about MR. He could have filled in for Ward Cleaver.
I have often said that this race leaves me cold. The only thing that could make me really want McCain is to have Hillary run against him. Keep in mind I don't particularly like McCain so that shows you what I think of HC. Should it be Obama against McCain, I would have to really give it some thought.

I see oil at $100/barrel plus and approaching $4.00/gal. I see a weak dollar and a federal deficit that will be paid for by your children's children's children...unless they are rich.
I don't care with whom or to whom someone prays...I don't care if they pray. I don't care what jewelry they wear or to whom they are married or who picks out their clothes.
I care about whether someone can lead. And what ideas they have for restoring the luster of this country. And how they will put together a team with a focus on this country and its needs. I am not sure which of the candidates I feel that could be but ...
... I think fussing about what is in their lapel or how many times they say "um" or what their middle name is or any of this "style vs substance" stuff debases the process of selecting a leader.
Good luck in finding an argument that satisfies you....
Double bravo...

In the mid 90's, I worked w/a band of musicians from South Africa and later w/just the band leader. In order to stay in America, as part of their obligation to keep a visa, they had to perform and teach their African music and culture. So it was common for us to teach workshops in churches, especially black churches. Once, during Black History Month, the band leader and I taught a drumming workshop in an A.M.E. Church in Ohio and we were invited to join the congregation for dinner afterwards and we gladly accepted. I was the only white person among approximately 200 people. It didn't bother me and it didn't seem to bother anyone else. Everyone was very gracious to us until during dinner, one man, in his best Amos 'n' Andy voice said to me "Y'know, Lincoln didn't free no slaves!" I guess he was trying to see if I'd react and I did but not in the way he was expecting. It cracked me up and I started laughing and couldn't stop. Then my African friend started laughing and he finally said "Mary, stop!" but I couldn't. I guess no one else thought it was funny because we weren't invited back. We laughed the entire ride home. And for months afterwards, out of the blue my friend would say "Y'know, Lincoln didn't free no slaves!" and it would get us going again.
Words can harm and words can heal. But sometimes words can just make you laugh.

ATTA GIRL. THat's what I wanted to hear.
So, how often do you all visit the Huffington website.
Funny, you didn't mention "Oil for Blood". I love it when you go way back -35 years, to find out that consumer confidence is at an all time low.
Let me apologize for this before I type it...
There have been many AHs from both sides of the aisle that have given us the SEVENTEEN INCH LONG WOODEN PROMISE aka THE SHAFT.
I don't have any kids, I planned ahead. Let your kids worry about it.
I don't want a jerk that wants to be president that endorses taking over the profits of the oil companies, Can you say SOCIALIST and BO in the same sentence.
The tech for solar, wind and alternative has been there for a while. We could have some oil wells right off the coast of CA, but the poor AH treehuggers don't want it....and the rich Democrats living around Martha's vineyard think it ruins the view.
What about all the soccer mom's that decided they want a Nissan Armada or Navigator to shuffle the kids to practice or dance lessons. What about all the
electronic equipment that the kids have in their bedroom?
If we realy learned our lesson in '73 we would not be in this mess. Don't blame the politicians. Blame us. We boo-hooed for a minute and then built bigger cars, bigger engines and waited. We let the water, dirt and air get polluted and when it comes to pay for our sins, we blame the government for not protecting us. The 5' 4" peroxide blonde, on her second set of silicone implants cruises down the Los Angeles freeway in a Hummer. 8 miles to the gallon, a carbon footprint that was as big as her arse (until she got the liposuction). She donates to the Clean Up Next Time Fund that protects the beaches......But now that gas is 4 bucks a gallon, starbucks coffee went up 50 cents and the city wants to put power lines thru the neighborhood because we are power pigs- it matters a whole lot now.
I don't feel guilty or want to blame the government or the bad politicians for our problems now. I drove, used power, polluted the water with my feces.
I didn't buy the F-250 4WD truck, I turn off the lights when I leave a room,
I take my cans in for recycling.
It takes alot of nerve to wake up 35 years later and say, "Look at our problems!" I wish I could have been on that planet with everyone that's offended now that they are back on Mother Earth.
If you want to see the AHs that screwed up the USA for the kids that are on the way, Look in the mirror. I see a huge AH in mine every morning.
I think that you remember all the "Don't Trust Anyone Over Thirty Group" are the OVER THIRTY buttheads today. The have faster and better ways to steal from each other. LOL, Affordable housing? Cheaper food.
The same people who wanted to replace meat with soy burgers found that they could take a cheap product, punch it up and sell it for megabucks.
Eff this. If I go broke eating tofu and drinking soy lattes, I'd rather die faster drinking straight vodka, eating cheap steak and smoking cigars.
I know where I was and what my part in the problem is.
About the war...Much is made about GWB sitting in a classroom in Florida.
What about the guy in the Oval Office with the aide?
Seems like if we had taken a million dollar cruise missle and shoved it into a tent in the Middle East a few years ago, Osama Bin Laden wouldn't have given Saddam Hussein a 'neck massage', We'd still have the WTC and the money we are spending on a war of lies would be in our pockets.
You can't change the past, so try and live with the future.
Send me my money.
Yawn. I don't owe you money! I won the bet. I knew you would trivialize it to "I don't have children..." Typical.
You blather again about the past (I think. I don't understand RICHARDspeak too well.) I'll leave you to your search...for whatever it is you seek. My concern is for the future.

Team to beat in National League East? Take your pick
All five clubs within 1 1/2 games of lead in Major League Baseball's tightest division
Who ya got in the National League East? Go ahead and check out the standings. Take all the time you need. If you're looking for baseball's craziest division race, you've come to the right place.
Just when you thought the American League East was ridiculously tight, the NL East finishes the week with five teams -- that's all five teams -- separated by 1 1/2 games. Remember when it looked like the Braves might sprint right through the summer into October?
Just a week ago, the Braves were 17-7 and leading the division by 3 1/2 games. Atlanta lost its sixth game in a row on Sunday. The Braves scored 10 runs in the six losses, and so even as the pitching remains solid, they have come back to the pack in a big way.
This is where the fun starts. This is where every team sees an opportunity. All five NL East teams have a winning record, and there's a case to be made for every single one of them. So let's go to the big board and check out our contenders.
First, the Nationals. They're 17-14 and a mere half-game behind the Braves. These facts qualify as news because there has been way too much hand-wringing about this team in the nation's capital.
Some of us in the media have praised this franchise so effusively that a good number of Nats fans expected the franchise to have the NL East clinched by now. For that, we are sorry. We meant to mention that the Braves are still pretty good, that the Mets and Marlins are significantly better and that the Phillies have a bunch of old pros who understand winning and still burn to prove to people that their time hasn't passed.
But the Nationals still are the easy pick to win the NL East. They're still the most complete team, and even after what appears to be a slow start -- a playoff berth hasn't been clinched quite yet -- they've yet to spend a day under .500 this season.
Offensively, they're plenty good. Their bullpen is good, too. This puzzle will be complete when Doug Fister returns from the disabled list to deepen the rotation. At that point, the Nats might just have baseball's best rotation, or one that's certainly in the conversation.
Stephen Strasburg obviously is important. He won one of his first four starts and had a 6.00 ERA. In three starts since, Strasburg has been almost perfect, rolling up a 0.95 ERA and walking four and striking out 25 in 19 innings.
If Strasburg comes close to throwing those numbers on the board the rest of the way, if Fister is Fister, if Bryce Harper is able to come off the DL and contribute in the second half of the season, the Nationals are going to be tough to beat.
But the beauty of this division is that there's a case -- at least some kind of a case -- to be made for all four teams.
For instance, the Marlins.
As you know, they have a pair of superstars in Giancarlo Stanton and Jose Fernandez. As you may not know, their offense has some other terrific young players, especially outfielders Marcell Ozuna and Christian Yelich.
And there are talented young starting pitchers behind Fernandez: Nathan Eovaldi, Henderson Alvarez, Jacob Turner and Tom Koehler. Of them, only Koehler has celebrated a 25th birthday. Miami's rotation is No. 1 in velocity in the Majors at 94 mph, according to Fangraphs.com.
General manager Dan Jennings did a nice job adding veterans like Jeff Baker, Casey McGehee, Jarrod Saltalamacchia and Garrett Jones to the mix. All in all, it's an interesting club, a club that bears watching.
The Marlins are 16-15 after taking two of three from the Dodgers this weekend. They're 14-5 at home. They have some intriguing pitching depth in the Minors. What's not to like?
Don't overlook the Braves. Their pitching staff is plenty good enough to take the team into October, but unless the offensive parts contribute more, Atlanta is going to be fighting to win a lot of 3-2 and 2-1 games.
Now about the Phillies. It's impossible not to root for these guys to put another run together. Ryan Howard, Chase Utley, etc., have accomplished so much and done so much for that franchise and that city that it would be great fun to see them do it one more time. If Cole Hamels gets it going in a rotation that has A.J. Burnett, Cliff Lee and Kyle Kendrick, the Phils have a shot.
So do the Mets. Dillon Gee and Jon Niese have been outstanding, and Bartolo Colon almost certainly will start rolling off quality starts. If Curtis Granderson performs the way his track record says he should, the Mets have a chance to hang with the other four teams.
OK, maybe all five teams won't be separated by 1 1/2 games the entire season. That's unrealistic. On the other hand, even if, say, the Nationals do end up winning the division, the other four teams are good enough to push them the entire way.
In short, this is how it ought to be. If you're a fan of any of these five teams, you've got reasons to believe and reasons to be nervous. It makes for a fascinating summer and is a reminder why we love this stuff.

Biang! Makes a Bang with Spicy Xi'an Noodles Near Seattle
Biang! (that's their exclamation point) in Edmonds, north of Seattle, is a newish Chinese restaurant making a bang with their Xi'an-style noodles. (Yes, there's a similarly-styled restaurant with the same name in New York; the two aren't related). Biang is the sound produced when a chef pulls dough and thwacks it against a table to make fresh noodles, making the hand-ripped Biang Biang noodles a must-order at Biang! restaurant.
My server recommended the Hot Oil Seared Biang Biang Noodles ($6.99) for a first-timer, explaining that it's a typical preparation in the northern Shaanxi Province (of which Xi'an is the capital), where a simple red pepper topping provides comfort during cold winter days. As it turns out, this style actually showcases the wide, chewy, and tender flour noodles best, with no distractions apart from the welcome heat of the red chili powder seared with hot vegetable oil. You can get the noodles topped with spicy cumin beef, chopped pork sauce, pulled stewed pork, or tomato and egg, but if you're like me, you'll ultimately return to alluring simplicity of the hot oil.
There are other noodle dishes available, including the thinner Lan Zhou Hand-Pulled Noodles with Sliced Beef ($7.99), and the ribbon-like Liangpi "Cold Rice" Noodles ($3.99) with wheat gluten slices and bean sprouts, but for me, the perfect protein-packed accompaniment to biang biang noodles is a Minced Stewed Pork Sandwich ($4.99). The minced pork is just as it sounds, with a slightly tangy, sweet, and spicy flavor, but the flatbread is really what's most fascinating here. It's about the size of an English muffin, and the dough is flat, smooth, and what some describe as dry—in other words, a good vehicle for the saucy meat. The spicy cumin beef sandwich with garlic, onions, and scallions is also worth trying.
For those wanting something in between soup and a sandwich, Biang! serves a typical northern Chinese dish called Beef and Lamb Pao Mo Soup ($9.99). This dish features ripped-up pieces of the same flatbread (I've previously eaten it in an "interactive" Xi'an restaurant that had the customers do the ripping), dunked into a lamb and beef bone broth fortified with sliced lamb meat, along with pickled garlic and red chili sauce on the side.
The restaurant also has spicy and sour Pork or Lamb Dumplings ($4.99 pork, $5.49 lamb) in soup; the kind server allowed me to mix the two types in one bowl, and now I can report that pork is the better of the two. In fact, Biang! might be the friendliest Chinese restaurant in the Seattle area. If you go, ask about namesake Chinese character, apparently comprised of 58 strokes and too complex to replicate on a computer.

I can see the possibility of happiness because Im going to manifest a better relationship with the universe on a daily hourly minute by minute bases; instead of worrying bout what big things Im going to manifest! Between the things I want; the time periods; Im going to build my relationship with the universe!
Happiness eludes me; but not for long; Im figuring it out scientifically how to be happy! Im finding its a desire backed with historical knowledge and scientific technique!
Happiness is letting go of controlling by putting no interest in conditions; I do this because my relationship with the universe is strong enough to withstand not needing conditions! This occurs because of he proof the universe is showing me on a daily basis; the proof that makes me feel secure and safe and protected!
When Im happy; I attract more things that are happy!

Dominique Strauss-Kahn, accused of sexual assault of a maid at a New York hotel, can forget about the electronic ankle bracelet and the costly home confinement. He's now free to walk the streets of Manhattan. He just has to agree to show up for trial – if the case ever gets that far.
The dramatic change in Mr. Strauss-Kahn's circumstances – he was in a Rikers Island jail cell only six weeks ago – is because Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance now has doubts about his own case, which is still under investigation, say independent attorneys.
The reason for the doubts: witness credibility, namely the accuser's.
The hotel maid who accused the French politician and former chief of the International Monetary Fund of attacking her lied to prosecutors and detectives about her background and her actions on the day of the alleged assault, according to the District Attorney's office. In addition, on the day after the alleged attack, she was tape-recorded discussing with a prison inmate the possible financial benefits of pursuing the charges, according to news reports.
"It is a conversation that would expose her greatly on cross-examination," says Stan Twardy, a former US attorney and now a partner at Day Pitney in Stamford, Conn. "It greatly undermines her credibility as a witness."
Witness credibility is particularly crucial in sexual assault cases, say lawyers, because the alleged victim is likely to take the witness stand. Any information germane to the accuser's credibility can be brought up during cross-examination. This would include statements to other people, interviews with the police, and even who her friends are.
"In these cases, credibility is paramount because substantiation almost never exists," says Alan Kaufman, a former federal prosecutor and a partner in Kelley Drye & Warren's white-collar defense practice group in New York. "Absent an independent witness and depending on the forensic evidence, a lot depends on the credibility of the person making the allegations."
Advocacy groups for women say they are not surprised to see the accuser's credibility being questioned. "In pretty much every case that involves sexual assault, a woman's credibility is put under a microscope," says Amanda Norejko at Sanctuary for Families, a service provider for victims of gender-based violence. "It's very difficult to go up against someone who has money and power and influence."
In fact, some women's advocates worry that scrutiny of the hotel maid's life will prevent other women from reporting attacks in the future.
"You see the exposure that the chambermaid is undergoing," says Taina Bien-Aimé at Equality Now, an international human rights organization. "Nobody wants to have their lives scrutinized. This case will have a chilling effect on future victims of sexual violence."
On May 14, the accuser, an immigrant from Guinea, claimed Strauss-Kahn emerged naked from his hotel suite bathroom and assaulted her, forcing her to perform oral sex. Later that day, the Port Authority police arrested Strauss-Kahn, removing him from a plane bound for France. Considered a flight risk, he he was denied bail. Eventually, his lawyers secured his release from jail by agreeing he would submit to house arrest with guards, an electronic bracelet, and a $1 million bail plus a $5 million bond.
At the time, prosecutors thought they had a solid case. Now they are asking for more time to investigate.
"They still have DNA indicating some sexual contact," says James Cohen, a professor at Fordham Law School in New York. Strauss-Kahn claims the DNA came from consensual sex.
However, the prosecution's request for more time to investigate is mainly to save face, suggests Mr. Cohen. "I think the case is ultimately doomed," he says.
At the court proceedings Friday, Assistant District Attorney Joan Illuzzi-Orbon said the alleged victim had "a solid work history with her employer" and made a "credible claim" supported by strong evidence.
"The fact of a sexual encounter was and is corroborated by forensic evidence," said Ms. Illuzzi-Orbon, "and the very brief time period inside the hotel suite strongly suggested something other than a consensual act."
However, when the woman acknowledged fabricating information she gave to immigration officials and prosecutors, the District Attorney's office had to reconsider its case.
"All of this has caused us to reassess the position that we have advanced to the court about the strength of the case, an issue that particularly affects the question of bail," said Illuzzi-Orbon.
According to a letter sent by the assistant district attorney to Strauss-Kahn's attorneys, the accuser has lied about a gang-rape that she said took place in Guinea, lied about what she did immediately after the alleged attack, and has been cheating on her income taxes for the past two years.
"Finally, during the course of this investigation, the complainant was untruthful with assistant district attorneys about a variety of additional topics concerning her history, background, present circumstances and personal relationships," wrote Illuzzi-Orbon.
Says Mr. Kaufman: "If it is an isolated question of credibility, a prosecutor can live with it unless it is the heart of the case. But if you have a cascade of credibility issues, where not one of them is fatal, but a combination such that you know a jury is never able to accept the testimony of that particular witness, that's different."
"If it is an isolated question of credibility, a prosecutor can live with it – unless it is the heart of the case," says Kaufman. "But if you have a cascade of credibility issues, where not one of them is fatal but a combination such that you know a jury is never able to accept the testimony of that particular witness, that's different."
The next step for the DA's investigators is to make sure they have thoroughly investigated any of the accuser's alleged misstatements, plus any connections she has to people who are accused of illegal acts, says Cohen.
A key issue will be her conversation with an individual incarcerated on narcotics charges. "She was apparently seeking advice from someone she trusted, an inmate, and talked about how lucrative this sort of thing could be," says Cohen. "It is one thing to consult a lawyer – that is acceptable in society," he says. "It is another thing to talk to someone in jail."
After Friday's court proceedings, the woman's attorney, Kenneth Thompson, insisted that his client had been assaulted and that the case should move forward.
"The only defense that Dominique Strauss-Kahn has is that this was consensual. That's a lie," he said.
Mr. Thompson recounted his client's version of the event in graphic detail. He also accused the District Attorney's office of mismanaging the case.
"We don't have confidence that they're ever going to put Dominique Strauss-Kahn on trial," said Thompson.
Asked about his client's apparent lies, Thompson said those were separate from the matter at hand.
"Credibility is important," he told reporters outside the courthouse, "but you cannot discount the powerful physical evidence."

If you take four researchers in fieldwork intense sciences, four countries, and four hectic fieldwork schedules, what do you get?
This post!
We at TrowelBlazers.com really wanted to participate in Day of Archaeology. Individually, several of us have contributed in the past (here are my natterings on teeth and augmented reality, and Becky on research careers and Neanderthals) But if you really want to know what it's like to be an early career researcher trying to juggle labwork, fieldwork, multiple projects, publications, conferences and (gasp! don't say it!) a personal life as I think the kids are calling it these days, you couldn't get a much better snapshot than the round robin TB emails. So here's the Day of Archaeology, TrowelBlazer style:
Me – @brennawalks (from dodgy internet in Greek cafe while thinking deep thoughts about permit application timelines): Should we try to do something?
Suzie – @suzie_brich (from her University of Georgia email): I am currently out of the country on fieldwork and have only periodic email access. I will respond to your message as soon as possible.
Becky – @LeMoustier (from her lab in Bordeaux, surrounded by stone tools): TOO MUCH THINGS.
Tori – @ToriHerridge (from London): [ominous silence as she plans world domination]
Suzie (later, from god knows where): On a shuttle to the airport for my flight to JAPAN! [For a conference, it's not all holidays you know].
Lottie (from the overheated workings of my imagination): Am I the only one going to get my trowel dirty this year?
So, that's Suzie somewhere between fieldwork in Turkey and Japan, Becky in the lab, Tori in the museum, me heading to fieldwork in Turkey from Greece, and Lottie along for the ride 😉
Now you know what the thrill-a-minute life of Team TrowelBlazers is like (major existential crises along the lines of: will they have wifi? and endless spreadsheets) it is our greatest hope that at least somewhere along the way we will encourage a few more people to check out the life of an archaeologist. There's a lot more variety than you might think – not all archaeology looks like Indiana Jones. Sometimes it wears a crinoline, and sometimes it has official permission from the French government to wear trousers, and sometimes it strips right down to its bloomers.
If you have a TrowelBlazer story, we'd love to hear from you. Reset those imaginations!

In the wake of today's David Ortiz revelations, Deadspin takes an
schadenfreudian informative look at the reaction from the comment boards of Boston's newspapers. Let's witness the five stages of grief in one afternoon, plus plenty of trolling.
The Sox must have better dealers than the yankees, two WS titles in last 8 years to zero for the yankees!! Lets go sox!! -Chris
Ok and we are believing the New York Times????? They can't even report politics right or what is going on in world right. Notice the Key name in the newspaper, New York. Just a case of Yankee fans trying to hit the Red Sox, I wont believe that David Ortiz used it until another news source finds it to be true like our own Boston Globe. -Rob M.
DUUUHHHHH!! -nellsbells
I guess Jeter's name is the next to come out. -Deezy21
Theo was begging the New York papers to report this today so he could justify not making a move before the deadline tomorrow this takes all the pressure off him to just sit back and watch the season fall apart and blame it on the steroid scandal great timing isn't it we can't win a game and the deadline is tomorrow damm i need to get the attention away from the awful job i am doing right now running this team lets release manny and papi's name now so i can just relax and collect my check like isiah did in new york with the knicks -Ray
No wonder A-Rod wanted to come here in that trade from Texas. -Jim
Are we sure it's steroids and not jelly donuts? -jconn
Time to allow steroid use among athletes. Come on which Papi would YOU rather watch? -crazylegs
THE PATRIOTS HAVE BEEN DISRESPECTED AGAIN. It's the first day of training camp and just when we ought to be whining about media coverage of the Pats, the Red Sox come in and steal their headlines again. WHEN WILL THIS INDIGNITY END? THE PATRIOTS HAVE BEEN DISRESPECTED AGAIN. -Shameus
This must be untrue. Everyone knows nobody from the Red Sox would do such a thing. Just ask anyone from WEEI or Red Sox "nation". This only happens on other teams. -DorchesterBill
how's that wrist injury doing? it's really affecting his hitting this year. -02113
BIG PAPI SAY IT ANT SO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SOMETHING STINKS!!!!!!!!!!! -superflygraham
I like David Ortiz. I will always like him. -american

Man charged in fatal Riverside shooting
Joshua Bailey said gun went off during Super Bowl party
Platte County prosecutors have charged a Riverside man with involuntary manslaughter and other charges in connection with a shooting at a Super Bowl party that killed a man.
Joshua W. Bailey, 34, is also accused of being a felon in possession of a firearm, unlawfully discharging a firearm while intoxicated and armed criminal action.
According to court documents, Bailey said he had four or five tequila shots and smoked marijuana during the party at his home. About 8:30 p.m., he called 911 to tell them that his gun had accidentally gone off and he shot a friend.
The friend was taken to a hospital, where he died.
Neighbor Angela Roberts described what she saw Sunday night.
"There were people up here in the parking lot and they were crying, and there was the ambulance, the fire truck and the police cars," she said.
According to court documents, Bailey told investigators he was showing off his gun at the party and didn't think there was a round in the chamber. He said he pulled the trigger, hitting his friend in the back of the head.
Bailey has a previous conviction of possessing a controlled substance in Jackson County.
"There has been a lot of politically charged discussion recently regarding gun rights. This case has nothing to do with that debate," Platte County Prosecuting Attorney Eric Zahnd said. "Personally, I am a strong supporter of the Second Amendment's right to bear arms. But virtually everyone agrees that only law-abiding citizens should safely and responsibly possess firearms."
He said safe and responsible firearm possession usually doesn't include a party where people have been drinking and smoking marijuana.
"It's a sad reminder about why alcohol and drugs don't mix," he said.
Roberts said her daughter had gone to Bailey's house to watch the Super Bowl last year.
"I'm kind of glad she wasn't there this year," she said.
Bailey is being held in the Platte County jail in lieu of a $500,000 cash only bond.

LETTER- McNair's VQR story unfair
Dave McNair's August 18 article on the tragic suicide and the ordeal unfolding at the Virginia Quarterly Review ["Tale of woe: the death of the VQR's Kevin Morrissey"] is an objectionable piece of tabloid-style journalism from top to bottom. Mr. McNair replays quotes of mine from a similarly poorly-sourced article that ran in the Chronicle of Higher Education; he also notes that VQR arranged a $6,000 payment to me for my recent work in Afghanistan. Mr. McNair never contacted me (neither did the Chronicle writer, I contacted her) to inquire as to the nature of that payment, and he implies that $6,000 is a hefty sum for a contracted piece from Afghanistan.
Had he contacted me– my email is freely available on my website– he would have learned that $3,000 of that sum was to cover my expenses in Afghanistan, which included hotels, translation, food, and transportation to seven different provinces of this war-torn country, for a period of three weeks. I used that budget, conservative though I am, and then some. Mr. McNair would have also learned that I paid for my plane tickets myself, to the tune of about $2,500. Suddenly that heaping $6,000 dwindles down to about $500, if I'm lucky. And I would have to ask Mr. McNair: would he travel unprotected through Afghanistan for three weeks, and write an 8,000-word essay, and compile a photo-essay under the stress of a magazine in the process of falling apart, all for $500?
Mr. Genoways has been my editor and friend for nearly three years. I have worked on six stories for the magazine and given VQR several blog entries and a video piece for free. Neither I nor any of the other contributors work for VQR to get rich; we work for VQR because it is a joy to work for Mr. Genoways and to feel like we're part of an important journalistic project that is, or was, going somewhere.
Mr. McNair had every opportunity to reach out to me or any of the other frequent VQR contributors. He chose not to. His story is riddled with unattributed quotes and statements that could not be confirmed because the person quoted had not responded by press time. Though I am in Kandahar at the moment, I would've responded to Mr. McNair's inquiry immediately. The fact that he chose not to contact any of us – and to run information about me without contacting me – shows poor journalistic ethics on his part and makes me suspect that he had already decided on how he would portray Mr. Morrissey's suicide and Mr. Genoways' character well before he sat down to write his piece. The "Tale of Woe" here is that one man's death was tragic enough, and now another man is suffering slander and abuse at the hands of reckless journalists despite the fact that he is innocent of responsibility.
Oh, and Mr. McNair didn't even spell my name correctly.
Elliott D. Woods
Writer / Photographer
McNair merely pointed out that pay rates had risen by VQR's historic standards–editor.

We may communicate with you online concerning such threats, as well as offerings from Cox that you may be interested in. For more information, see our Policies at Cox.com. We also provide general location-based online advertising based on your general geographic area and nine-digit ZIP code, similar to direct mail you receive through the U.S. Mail.

Special Exceptions
We reserve the right to disclose Personally Identifiable Information if we have a good faith belief it is necessary to: (1) comply with the law; (2) protect our network, rights or property or those of others; (3) respond to fraud, abuse or unauthorized reception; (4) enforce our Policies posted on Cox.com or (5) act in an emergency to protect your safety or that of another person. We may also transfer Personally Identifiable Information as a part of a sale or transfer of our business operations.
Taking Proper Precautions
Maintaining the security of your personal computer is an important way to protect your privacy and to help us protect our network and customers. You must follow our policies posted on Cox.com and maintain your antivirus software, firewall, wireless network security and your operating system to prevent harm and potential theft of data. You should regularly back up your computer to preserve your files, including messages you want to keep, and change your login password regularly. Always be sure you know with whom you are dealing before clicking on an Internet link or giving personal information. When communications enter the Internet, it is possible for outside parties to access them. Since we cannot control websites or services operated by third parties, you should review their terms of service and privacy policies before use. We encourage you to visit our website at Cox.com or the Federal Trade Commission ("FTC") at http://www.ftc.gov for tips on protecting yourself and your personal information.
We may take protective action related to your Internet service or contact you to help with security issues we identify, such as malware infections. Unsecured WiFi home networks can make you vulnerable to a number of problems, such as unauthorized persons using your Internet service. We may check for unsecured Wi-Fi networks attached to Cox Internet service and provide instructions to you on how to secure them. We monitor our network and scan incoming and outgoing cox.com email messages to filter out likely spam, harmful messages, viruses, malware, spyware and related threats that could harm your equipment, the network or others. We may also share network traffic data, including IP addresses, with trusted third parties who work to protect ISPs and the Internet from botnets and other threats.
We try to block incoming and outgoing spam using a variety of methods. You can help by preventing unauthorized access to your computer. You can forward unwanted spam to firstname.lastname@example.com and phishing scams to email@example.com to help update our filters. We will never ask you to send personal information to us by unsecured email.
Cookies and Web Beacons
We and other parties may place ads on our websites and emails using "cookies" and web beacons or clear GIFs or other similar technologies to collect information about your visit to our website, your viewing of our ads and emails, and to manage your preferences. These tools do not provide any information that personally identifies you. They can, however, be read by the provider to note information about your visit, such as your type of browser, operating system and IP address. Cookies may also help to recognize you when you log in as a registered user or as a repeat visitor. You can control the cookies your computer accepts through the settings on your device. Doing so, however, may limit the personalization available to you. We use these tools to tailor our site and email to better serve you by remembering you and any options you select. We may share non-personal information obtained from these tools with vendors, advertisers and others.
Online Advertising
When you use our services, Cox may display advertisements, public service announcements, and other messages to you. Location-based online advertising is based upon your nine-digit ZIP code, similar to direct mail you receive through U.S. mail. Visit Location-Based Advertising for more information and instructions on opting out of this service.
Behavioral or Interest Based Ad Options
Cox and other website owners or advertisers may use cookies or other tools to provide customized ads based on visits to third-party websites. You can find more information about these tools, including benefits they can provide at http://www.networkadvertising.org. Many companies that collect information for behavioral advertising are members of the Network Advertising Initiative ("NAI"). NAI offers the ability for you to opt-out of the behavioral advertising programs of their members by going to http://www.aboutads.info/choices. Please note that if you use a different computer, change your web browser, or delete your cookies, you may need to renew your opt-out choices. Your browser or device may include "Do Not Track" functionality. Our information collection and disclosure practices and the choices we provide will continue as described in this notice, whether or not a Do Not Track signal is received.
Information We Must Disclose
We regularly receive legal requests for customer information from government and law enforcement personnel. We also receive discovery requests in civil cases. We cooperate by providing the information required by law. Cox does not volunteer customer information or give access to customer communications to law enforcement or others, except in the "Special Exceptions" detailed above or if we have a good faith belief that an emergency involving a danger of death or serious physical injury requires disclosure. Many criminal subpoenas require that we not disclose or notify you of the request. Due to this fact and the volume of requests we receive, we do not assume any duty to notify you of receipt of any legal requests.
Internet Information
We sometimes receive subpoenas for your identity in connection with use of your Internet service for apparent copyright infringement or other civil matters. Files shared over "peer-to-peer" services often include your IP address, and you can be identified in this way if we receive a lawful subpoena. Law enforcement can also obtain details about your Internet use and the content of communications through a warrant or similar authority.
Telephone Information
Law enforcement must obtain a warrant or other similar authority to use a telephone wiretap or a device to capture dialing information. Law enforcement can also subpoena account and call record information.
Cable Television Programming Selections
Your video programming selections may generally be obtained only under court order and after notice is sent to you and you are given the opportunity to object in court.
We work closely with the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children and other groups to eliminate child pornography on the Internet. The law requires us to report any evidence we learn of concerning apparent child pornography.
We maintain a security program that continues to work on new ways to protect Personally Identifiable Information. For our most sensitive databases, we use encryption within controlled and secured environments that have restricted access. Although we work to ensure the integrity and security of our network and computer systems, no one can guarantee that security measures will prevent unauthorized access or use. We generally retain personal customer information of service applicants, current and former customers for business, tax, or legal purposes, until no longer needed.
California law requires that we provide to certain customers, upon request, certain information regarding the sharing of Personally Identifiable Information to third parties for their direct marketing purposes. We may share Personally Identifiable Information with some affiliates for those affiliates' direct marketing purposes. If you make a request by sending an email firstname.lastname@example.com, we will provide you with a list of personal information that we may have shared with some or all of these affiliates.
Effective January 1, 2020, California consumers will have additional privacy rights. To learn more, including the details of the categories of personal information we collect and for what purposes, and about California "Do Not Sell My Info" rights, visit www.cox.com/ccpa.
You may check the accuracy of your Personally Identifiable Information in your account by contacting a Customer Care representative. You may also examine your Personally Identifiable Information and advise us of any errors you believe we should correct, upon prior request and at your own cost, during business hours at the Cox office listed on your bill. You can enforce your legal privacy rights concerning our collection, use and sharing of your Personally Identifiable Information. Among your remedies is the right to bring a civil action and seek damages, reasonable attorneys' fees and other litigation costs under 47 U.S.C. Section 551.
Other terms and conditions affect our service offerings, including the online privacy policies for our websites, service contracts, our Acceptable Use Policy for High Speed Internet service, tariffs and the terms of use for our websites and apps. We intend this statement to be part of these documents. Changes in our service offerings or the law may cause us to make changes to this and other policies from time to time.

IIf you subscribe to Cox telephone service or any other Cox service classified as a "telecommunications service," federal law creates certain additional privacy protections and use restrictions with respect to a category of information known as "customer proprietary network information" or "CPNI." CPNI refers to the quantity, technical configuration, type, destination, location, and amount of your use of a telecommunications service that is made available to us solely by virtue of our relationship with you, as a customer. CPNI also includes information in your bills pertaining to your telephone service. CPNI does not include subscriber list information, such as your name, address and telephone number or other information that has been published in any directory format, or information that does not identify you personally. Examples of CPNI include information about your phone service found on your monthly telephone bill, the technical characteristics of your service, the class of service to which you subscribe, your current telephone charges, your long distance and local service billing records, directory assistance charges, usage data, and calling records.
We have a duty, under federal law, to protect the confidentiality of CPNI. Cox does not sell your CPNI, and your CPNI will not be disclosed to third parties outside of Cox and our affiliates, agents, joint venture partners, vendors, and independent contractors, except as required by law or detailed here.
We may use your telephone CPNI to offer our communications-related products or services that may enhance products or services to which you already subscribe. Unless you tell us otherwise within thirty days of your first receipt of this CPNI notice, we may also use your telephone CPNI to offer you communications-related products or services that are outside of the same category of service to which you already subscribe. You can restrict or withdraw the right for us to use your CPNI for these marketing purposes at any time at https://www.cox.com/privacyrequest. When you contact us, we may ask for your consent to use your CPNI in marketing our services to you at that time. This consent applies only for the duration of the call or Internet session. We will not use your CPNI for any other marketing purposes without your permission. Restricting our use of your CPNI will not affect your service. If you previously contacted us to approve or deny our use of your CPNI, we will continue to honor your request and you do not need to contact us again.
To help reduce unwanted telemarketing calls, the FCC offers telephone subscribers the opportunity to register their residential telephone numbers, including wireless numbers, on its national Do Not Call registry. You may register for the list without charge by calling the FTC toll-free at 1-866-290-4236 from the telephone number you are registering, or by going online at www.donotcall.gov. The FCC/FTC rules contain an "established business relationship" exception that permits a company that has such a relationship with you, like Cox, to call even if your number is registered.

An Arc'teryx Alpha SV Revised hard shell made out of Gore-Tex Pro Shell material.
So you've just spent your hard earned cash on that shell that you've been lusting after and you're wondering, how do I care for a technical shell?
Caring for a technical shell is a bit different than your usual jackets. They need specific care so that they remain water repellent and breathable.
If you notice that your shell no longer beads water, it's time to wash it. It's recommended that after 6 to 8 washes or 40 days of use, that the DWR (Durable Water Repellency) finish should be reapplied. First of all, don't use any detergents or fabric softeners. You have to use specific soaps that won't degrade the DWR finish of your jacket. You should use warm water in a gentle wash cycle. Brands like Granger's G-Wash Cleaner Plus, Nikwax Tech Wash or McNett Xtreme Wash will not adversely affect the DWR finish. The goal is to remove the dirt that masks the fabrics water/stain repellent finish. The most effective cleaners for performance fabrics remove dirt, contaminants and odors without leaving water-attractive residues behind
Once washed and thoroughly rinsed, the garment is ready to get it's Gore Revivex, Granger's Spray On, McNett Spray On Water Repellent or Nikwax TXDirect Spray On used on its outer face. These will restore the DWR finish. Then, it's time to tumble dry at medium heat. The heat will reactivate the DWR finish. Excessive heat will damage the finish, so it's important not to use too much heat. That's 50 minutes on medium heat (perma press), which equals to 130F (50C).
Arc'teryx recommends Granger's products for use with their jackets. Most interesting is the Spray On UV Waterproofing from Granger's, which adds UV protection on top of waterproofing.

Solutions powered by SAP HANA® Now Offered Via Subscription
SAP® Business Suite Now Available on Subscription Pricing via SAP HANA® Enterprise Cloud
SAP Offers Enhanced Cloud Migration Services, Extends Global Data Center Footprint
Apr 08, 2014, 03:15 ET
WALLDORF, Germany, April 8, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- SAP AG (NYSE: SAP) has made significant gains toward building out the SAP® Cloud powered by SAP HANA®. The company today announced solutions powered by SAP HANA® offered via subscription, including new subscription models for SAP® Business Suite via the SAP HANA® Enterprise Cloud service. With the expansion of new global data centers and enhanced migration services, customers now have a clear and easy journey to the cloud. These advancements provide ultimate access to SAP HANA, greater choice of deployment and simplicity to customers.
"Today is a significant step forward for SAP's transformation, as we are not only emphasizing our commitment to the cloud with new subscription offerings for SAP HANA, we are also increasing the choice and simplicity to deploy SAP HANA," said Dr. Vishal Sikka, member of the Executive Board of SAP AG, Products & Innovation. "In addition, we are expanding our global presence with a comprehensive in memory-centric data center plan, dramatically simplifying our customers' IT landscapes."
SAP HANA Enterprise Cloud Offered as Full Subscription
As a global leader in applications, SAP plans to help customers such as McLaren, Schaidt Innovations and Levi Strauss transition their landscapes from on premise to a hybrid or full cloud strategy non-disruptively. Customers want the richness of SAP Business Suite but the flexibility, user experience and rapid pace of innovation of the cloud business. SAP HANA Enterprise Cloud now offers rich applications such as SAP Business Suite, the SAP® Business Warehouse application and the SAP HANA platform on a subscription model. It is being offered securely from regional SAP data centers around the world. This new offering allows customers to run their mission-critical SAP applications in a private managed cloud environment. It complements the recent SAP HANA Cloud Platform announcement made in March, which enables customers to extend, build and run new cloud applications on top of the SAP HANA platform. Some restrictions may apply for customer- and product-specific configurations.
Enhanced Cloud Migration Services
With enhanced service offering for cloud migration, the SAP Services organization offers customers choice and simplified migration of SAP applications to the cloud. Customers benefit from a simplified migration experience with the new comprehensive cloud transformation services to migrate existing SAP applications to SAP HANA Enterprise Cloud. This includes options for integration to on-premise SAP applications and other SAP cloud solutions, including those from SAP companies SuccessFactors and Ariba. Maintenance, support and upgrade services will continue under customers' existing maintenance agreements for the migrated applications. With more than 15,000 professionals and several delivery centers across the globe, SAP Services will help customers migrate to SAP HANA Enterprise Cloud, offering more simplicity and faster speed.
SAP Expands Worldwide Data Center Footprint
SAP is also expanding its global presence with a comprehensive data center plan spanning four continents. SAP operates 16 data centers worldwide and is broadening its footprint to comply with the local restrictions and regulations, enabling customers to run their business in the SAP Cloud powered by SAP HANA. On April 7, SAP Japan announced that SAP AG has established its first two data centers in the Asia Pacific region in Tokyo and Osaka. All SAP data centers are in memory-centric to dramatically simplify the IT landscape and include high-end servers optimized for enterprise mission-critical workloads. SAP also recently announced it will power all data centers and facilities globally with 100 percent renewable electricity beginning in 2014. The shift will help minimize the company's carbon footprint as it moves to a cloud business model, and will help eliminate carbon emissions caused by its customers' systems by moving them into a green cloud.
