U.S. Ambassador Francis Ricciardione told reporters that a Turkish citizen was also wounded in the 1:15 p.m. blast in the Turkish capital.
There was no immediate claim of responsibility, but both Kurdish rebels and Islamic militants are active in Turkey.
The bomb appeared to have exploded inside the security checkpoint at the side entrance to the embassy, but did not damage the inside of the embassy itself.
TV footage showed the embassy door blown off its hinges. The windows of nearby businesses were also shattered by the power of the blast, and debris littered the ground and across the road.
Police swarmed the area and immediately cordoned it off and several ambulances were dispatched.
An AP journalist saw one woman who appeared to be seriously injured being carried into an ambulance but a hospital official said she was "not in critical condition." On its website, the Hurriyet newspaper identified the woman as Didem Tuncay, a television journalist who it said was at the embassy to get a U.S. visa.
The embassy building is heavily protected and located near several other embassies, including that of Germany and France. Hurriyet newspaper said staff at the embassy took shelter in "safe room" inside the compound soon after the explosion.
Phones were not being answered at the embassy later Friday.
Police examined security cameras around the embassy and identified two people who could have been the suicide bomber, a police official said, speaking on condition of anonymity in line with government rules.
In a statement, the U.S. Embassy thanked Turkey for "its solidarity and outrage over the incident."
Kurdish rebels who are fighting for autonomy in the Kurdish-dominated southeast have dramatically stepped up attacks in Turkey over the last year. The United States considers the Kurdistan Workers Party, or PKK, a terrorist organization and has helped Turkey in its battle against the group. But the group has not attacked U.S. targets in its nearly 30-year insurgency.
Homegrown Islamic militants tied to al-Qaida have carried out suicide bombings in Istanbul, Turkey's bustling commercial center. In a 2003 attack on the British consulate, a suspected Islamic militant rammed an explosive-laden pickup truck into the main gate, killing 58 people, including the British consul-general.
In 2008, an attack blamed on al-Qaida-affiliated militants outside the U.S. Consulate in Istanbul left three assailants and three policemen dead.
Turkey is also being deeply affected by the brutal civil war in neighboring Syria, and has become a harsh critic of President Bashar Assad's regime there. The war has left at least 60,000 people dead so far, according to the U.N., and Turkey is sheltering tens of thousands of Syrian refugees.
The first of six Patriot missile batteries being deployed to Turkey to protect the country against attack from Syria was just declared operational and placed under NATO command. Others are expected to become operational in the coming days.

Grocery shopping made easier
Some enjoy the weekly — or daily — experience of grocery shopping, while others loathe it. The reality is that it's a necessity. For those who begrudge the process, there are ways to make the task more efficient and economical, and less daunting. First, thanks to technology, check to see if a favorite, frequented grocer offers an app. Publix, with 100-plus locations, has My Shopping List, a tool that allows shoppers to make lists based on recipes, choose products, learn savings and even map out specific products based on store location. Others, such as Whole Foods, offers thousands of recipes, coupons, sales information and list-making tools on its free app. Grocery experts tend to agree that it is important to 1) find a store close to home so extra money will not be spent on gas and, 2) plan ahead to cut down on impulse purchases, frantic time-wasting searches, overspending and incomplete ingredients for recipes. U.S. News & World Report last year offered a piece on grocery shopping tips that includes keeping a list of staples and a general price per staple. That way, new lists do not need to be made each time, and shoppers can determine if the price is above or below average typically spent. Kitchn shared strategies in 2014's "15 Money Saving Ways to Outsmart Your Supermarket," including: scrutinize the "10 for $10" promotions and buy-in-bulk temptations to determine if there is a cost savings per item; do not assume aisle-end displays are cheaper; and compare frozen seafood to fresh (frozen is often less expensive). In the past few years, academic research by the Kilts Center for Marketing at the University of Chicago Booth School of Business, armed with extensive data from The Nielsen Company, learned that consumers often prefer and certainly benefit from choosing store brands versus name brands. Consumer Reports determined a savings of generally 25 percent, and taste is typically comparable. Finally, music makes all chores more enjoyable. Listening to up-beat tunes cuts down on stress and lessens overspending, advise grocery shopping gurus.

Lost in Suburbia: Attention all catalog shoppers
Back in my early days of suburbia, I received one or two catalogs in the mail, and that was about it. However, catalogs, I soon learned, are like rabbits, and tend to multiply if left unattended.
At first, I looked forward to the occasional Pottery Barn and Williams-Sonoma catalogs. Not that I was buying, because we were young and house poor. But like a man with a girly magazine, I liked to look at the pictures and dream about what I didn't have at home.
Soon enough, though, more catalogs started pouring in. Initially it was just home decor-themed catalogs, which made sense since I had a home. But then I started getting catalogs for obscure things I had absolutely no possible interest in, such as hunting gear, Amish clothing, and pet diapers for elderly, incontinent dogs. Somehow I had gotten on the mailing list for everything from surgical scrubs to Harley Davidson clothes, which would be great if I was a doctor who rode a cool hog, rather than a stay-at-home mom who drives a lame-o SUV. Sure the catalogs were pretty, and colorful, and inviting, and made me almost want to call right in and order a plain and simple Amish lady's bonnet. But the catalogs had started crowding out my regular mail, and soon reached such a volume that the mailman simply left them stacked next to the post. I was afraid the neighbors were going to think I had some kind of catalog addiction, do an intervention, and enroll me in a mail-order 12-step program. The day I received a catalog for the Avocado of the Month Club, I decided the time had come to cut off the catalogs, cold turkey. I had no choice. I don't even really like guacamole.
Now, I knew I got a lot of catalogs, but since they never came all at once, I really had no idea how many there were. For a month I collected all my catalogs and piled them up in a heap in my kitchen. By the time I reached 50, I figured I could either wallpaper my family room with them or take some action.
Getting catalogs, it seemed, was easy. Stopping getting catalogs ... not so much. From my monster pile o' catalogs, I went through each one and wrote down their mailing address. Then I typed a lovely, gracious, cease-and-desist-or-I-will-sue-you-and-the-Amish-buggy-you-rode-in-on letter. I printed out 50 copies, cut out my mailing label on each catalog, stuck it to the letter, and then mailed them all out.
Warily, I watched the mail get delivered each day. As the mailman staggered under the weight of my catalogs, I began to wonder if my letters had ended up in some catalog slush pile. I thought it pretty ironic that in trying to end the junk mail, I may have ended up becoming junk mail, myself.
Then, slowly but surely, I noticed a definite decrease in the number of catalogs I was receiving. Day-by-day the pile got smaller and smaller, until one afternoon, I opened up the mailbox and found only bills. Smiling with smug satisfaction, I went in the house and logged onto my email. I had 30 incoming messages.
They were all online catalogs.

Hindu people are wonderful. They will all go to heaven.
Let us pray. And give thanks for we are Hindu.
Hinddoou a ss is very flexible and big as most have been pounded since they were kids [Gandos]. Not to worry though as we also have jars of petroleum jelly ready for smooth penetration of Lord Gandu Ganesh's snout in hindu gand [a ss].
Oh yes DeSaulle. I give thanks for my Hinduism. And for Hinduism around the world.
Can someone please translate the following comment from @Kishore Khanna who i assume is from India as is a hindoo name. I think this sounds like sanskrit language. Thanks.
INDIA's NEW NATIONAL ANTHEM
Aum aum aum... Hare krishna hare ram.... Dum maro dum ....Shiva ki gaand maro.... Hanuman ki bund maro....Ram kay moo mein khotay kaa lund dalo...Kaali ma ki chute maro...Durga Maa ki kus pharo
It is a hindoo bhajan (religious chant prior to performing Kama Sutra) and basically states screw everything that moves including the hindoo clay figurine gods. In a spiritual sensuous manner while burning incense to magnify the seyxual connotation
My convictions in Hinduism has helped me tremendously.
Bless India and Shiva
Nailed it. .@cuchumber
Raypes are a celebration of hinduism in India. It is the very fabric of Indian hindu culture.

Hi there folks. To be a Hindu is to be good. I praise Shiva and Modi.

Hindu people are so wonderful.
Hindu people are my favorite. .. 🙂
On Monday morning, two minor sisters were gang-rayped and murdered before their bodies were hung from a tree in Badaun district of Uttar Pradesh in India.
Modi called it a hindu ritual in India.
Hi folks. I too feel as rupert. I am Hindu.
Praise Shiva and Modi.
I am off to India. I shall kiss the ground there when i arrive.
Peace and love to all.
Bye Blue Saffron. Have a nice trip.
Praise India
It is bad enough that these girls were gang rayped. On top of that these hindus hung them on a mango tree. Then they were burnt up post death. How can one even begin to justify this with a conscience? This is so egregious.
The National Commission for Women (NCW) on Thursday took suo moto cognizance in gang-raype and murder of two minors in Uttar Pradesh in India.
Modi says it is normal course of hinduism in India.

What the fuck is wrong with these underachieving assholes? After completely shitting the bed against the Royals and Rays, they limp through the Tigers, but everyone knows they'll get up and bring it to the Yankees. Big 5-game series in mid-August. Home ball park. Time to step it up, right? No. Just horseshit pitching by all three starters -- Beckett was the worst of the three with nine walks -- and completely ineffectual relief from the pen. And the hitting has dried up completely. 0-for-16 with runners and second and third in Game 1, followed by countless mailed-in at-bats, hacks at shit pitches, refusing to work the count against pitchers who are struggling with their control, and just assbackwards fielding. All topped off by a manager that seems to be readying the fucking white flag when he fills out his lineup card. If the bats are in a slump -- and the pitchers are horseshit -- the fucking least thing you can fucking do is put out the best possible chance at scoring some goddamn runs. That's your JOB.
I hate Josh Beckett. Stupid asshole moron no-balls shithead. He's supposed to be an ace. Some fucking ace. Keep milking that 2003 World Series complete game, you asstard. Gopher's got to be about the dumbest fucking pitcher in the league. Won't read a scouting report, laughs at Schilling's preparation, can't set up hitters at all because he's fucking unwilling to throw his curve (oooh, might get blisters!) so every two-bit jackshit hitter in the league sits back and waits for the fastball with a shiteating grin on his fucking face. But does Beckett (or the allegedly master handler of pitchers Varitek (god I'm fucking sick of hearing that shit too, he's fast becoming our own Cap'n Intangibles) ever fucking learn? No. Cementhead just goes out there with his fucking chin hair thinking he can blow gas by everyone and be an ace, and he gets hit again and again and again and again and again. Isn't he embarassed? Doesn't he think he ought to try a different tact? ... Three more years of this shit? Fuck you.
Could he maybe brush a Yankee hitter back? Even once? They score 189 runs on Friday and get to dig in nice and solidly at the plate today. La la la. No one on the staff has any balls. Will Schilling shave Damon off with Pitch #1 tomorrow night? He fucking A better. Something gotta happen. Anytime the Sox got a run, the pitchers -- each and every one of the talentless unable to throw strikers gave it right back. It's gotta be a new record of suckiness.
There is so much worthless shit on this roster. Seanez was finally thrown from the train, but why is Tavarez still using bullpen oxygen? Eat the contract and DFA his ass too. Or trade him for a bag of Cheetos. I don't fucking care. And maybe the young arms would pitch a little better if they weren't brought into bases loaded jams every other fucking appearance by their drowsy shitcock of a manager.
Go away, Mirabelli. One HR every two weeks isn't enough. Average finally over .200? Wow. Good for you. Lopez sucks too and he shouldn't be batting any higher than 8th. EVER. And what does Gabe Kapler do to deserve a roster spot? Seriously, what? He's got the worst fucking muscle-to-power ratio of any hitter in the history of ever and he sucks balls in the outfield. What? He's a nice guy and the other players like having him around. Okay, so have him be a fucking bench cheerleader then.
I know we've had injuries -- that the team on the field right now is not the team we were supposed to have. We've been without key players for long periods of time and we've paid theprice. But Theo and the rest of the front office have failed to recognize these problems in any sort of reasonable time frame and have not been able to fix them.
I sat through 1978. I sat through 1986. I sat through 2003. I sat through the first three games of the 2004 fucking ALCS. And I'll sit through 2006 -- because, for one thing, it can't hold a candle to those nightmares. Plus I'm a stupid moron who is stuck on this piece of shit bus with nothing better to do with my evenings than watch these pussies roll over for each and every team that comes to town.
Anyone else got a gripe?

Ooh, I know, okay, here's what to do. So, someone tells Beckett to actually throw a Curveball once in a while (or hey, anything other than a fastball). Then we trade Tavarez for a bag of Cheetos, and Beckett can rub the Cheetos on his blisters....
Now, why am I a Red Sox fan again? Oh right, I'm insane...

Fire Francona. Now.
This is as pathetic a display I can remember from a team who've mailed it in more times since the All-Star break than the US Postal Service. The season, as I see it, is over barring the injection of a Lou Pinella or someone of his ilk that will not allow his team to lay down like 25 fucking lambs without chewing some serious ass.
The Sicilians have an expression that pertains to management malaise and incompetence - the fish rots from the head. It's clear that our favorite fish, Terry Francona (hookus unwillingus) has lost the team, and it's time for Sox management to fire him and get someone else on the top step to lead this pack of lethargic underachievers while there's still a remote chance of saving the season.
Doesn't someone on this team have a set of cojones? What will it take for a few of these guys to start getting pissed and announce that they're just not going to take it any more? Maybe seeing Tito and his kid gloves walk out the door might just do the trick.
Sure, Schill and a couple of the other lads may get a case of the ass when their "player's manager" is shown the door, but tough shit. For me, the final straw was Tito toddling out to the mound in the 6th on his fake knee, looking like a latter day Gabby Haines to give a half-hearted plea to Shit for Brains Beckett to please, pretty please, find the plate on Rodriguez with the bases full.
Instead of patting him on the ass, he should have stood there and challenged him to find his balls, or better yet should have given him the hook after walk NUMBER SEVEN OR EIGHT! The pep talk worked so well that Ball-less Becket walked Slappy on four straight pitches. Well done.
Beckett has to be the biggest example of premature adulation since David Clyde. For a team whose exploits in under achievement may go down as unequalled in the annals of the franchise, who is going to help these guys find their hearts, their balls, and their pride?
If anyone out there thinks its Terry Francona, (Yankee fans not eligible to reply), I'd really like to here a cogent counterpoint.
- August 19, 2006 at 3:32 PM
- Gutch220 said...
I'm a Yankee's fan and I don't think Francona should be fired. And I'm not even living in the passed so it doesn't matter that he brought the city a championship 2 years ago. I would blame the front office for not filling in holes much more than Francona. He can only use what's available, and he can't control injuries.......I think Papelbon will start next year.
- August 19, 2006 at 3:42 PM
- allan said...
Me, in the third inning: There must be some Tito-Theo tension going on ... It feels like one of the Jimy-Duquette feuds of yesteryear.
How in the world could Francona possible defend batting Lopez 5th after Manny? If only one of the beat writers would ask him and keep asking until they get a direct answer.
And if I see Coco at the top of the lineup one more time this year, I'm gonna go nuts. If Hinske can hit, I'd put Pena in CF and Hinske in RF a few times a week until Crisp can get his shit together and maybe look at a pitch or two before hacking away, and stop trying to bunt his way on.
If Tito puts out a lineup like he did for Game 2 yesterday and the bats go AWOL, then bitch about the players. But when the lineup looks like it came from Mr. Weebles, then the manager gets some heat too.
I cannot believe that Theo would approve of some of the decisions Francona is making with the lineup and the bullpen. There is a good chance he's gone at the end of the year, if things keep going down the shitter.
- August 19, 2006 at 3:46 PM
- allan said...
Theo has not given the manager a top-notch roster, but Francona has not shown the ability to use the parts he has in a correct or even coherent way. Both are to blame.

Yea, I agree that some blame can be placed on both, but there's no way Francona lost the spirit of the team in the last couple weeks, let alone 2 days. It would be a bad move to so quickly fire Francona. To tell you the truth, I am suprised that Sox fans are even talking about it. I think it would be in the Red Sox's best interest to "clean house" (player wise) in the offseason........Ichiro is a free agent ;). i think he would fit into rightfield nicely for you guys. Maybe Tejada at short as well. The Red Sox need to be more proactive rather than play a game of wait-and-see.

Theo really overlooked the potential this bunch had. Why throw away a great season from Schilling? Why plan for the future when this team had the ability to be evn better than '04 with a solid deadline deal? Why waste another productive season from Ortiz/Manny? When the kids are ready, Schill will be retired, Manny's career will be winding down, Wake will be retired and we will have missed out at a legit WS opportunity here in '06.
Sucks that Big Schill has pitched his ass off this season and will have nothing to show for it because the youngsters are getting worse before they get better.
- August 19, 2006 at 4:44 PM
I can't believe this is all happening when Ortiz has 42 homeruns on the season already. That in and of itself is a travesty. Although I think Francona has made his share of asinine decisions and has really had problems putting the pieces together, both in the lineup and in the bullpen, I think the FO should bear the brunt of the criticism. They almost entirely dismantled a WS winning team before the champagne had even lost its fizz. I feel as though, and I'm sure the players have gotten this message loud and clear as well, that the FO's priority has been keeping costs down and developping a group of cheap talent several years down the line. Games continue to sell out at an alarming pace etc, so they're bottom line hasn't and will not take a hit. But it's a damn shame, especially for Ortiz, Manny, and Schilling and us poor shmucks whose bottom line is getting out of debt in time for retirement.

Thank you for summing everything up better than I could. I'm devastated right now, even though I knew this would happen. I didn't figure it could possibly get this ugly.
Theo's the problem, and we need to dump him and Tito ASAP. Beckett is now my least favorite player, and to beat out Coco that is one hell of a prize.

While I certainly have my gripes with Francona, I have a hard time blaming him for much that's happened so far this weekend. The pitchers (starters and bullpen) have recently shown us how much just they suck...so it's silly to keep complaining about Tito's bullpen management - the Sox are screwed no matter what he does. Yes, the lineup today was atrocious (Lopez 5th?!?!), but that just wasn't the problem - even with what I think we all agree is an optimum lineup (yesterday evening's), they can "only" score 10 runs. With this pitching staff, 10 runs/game still translates to an 0-3 record so far this series. Ugh.

26-14 over 40 games = 95 wins
Possible - Yes

The problems are glaring, but what changed. You can talk about Tek being overrated. But the stats prove otherwise, 6-12 without him.
Wake 14-17 without him.
Nixon the record sucks without him as well.
Its puzzling it really is......
I have never been so annoyed watching them play.....
Theo's boys just don't have IT.
Crisp, what is his function
Pena, c'mon shave of the look alike Ortiz beard , you don't deserve to have his facial hair.
Hansen, Delcarmen, Lester- Garbage
Beckett- I don't get it..THROW A FUCKIN STRIKE
Loretta- Good Sign if not a great sign... But Theo will let him go at the end of the year... Just because..
Ramirez- Not Theo's
Varitek- Not Theo's
Youk- Not Theo's
Schill- Great sign
Ortiz- Lucky Sign
Bottom Line is the kid GM's this team like we are the fuckin Twins.
When I go to Fenway I know what it costs me...Don't humiliate this franchise with the likes of Johnson, Seanez, Tavrez, Lopez, Snyder, Harris, Snow, Mohr, Corey, Pauley, and Breslow.......
Who the fuck are these guys......
We are the Red Sox dammit!!
Don't play us as jackasses ...If you wanted to strip it down then strip it down.....but stop low balling these guys and telling everyone you can't have a no trade clause and 4 years 40 million thats it thats are final offer...
Well wake up you metrosexual wonderboy ,and spend the fuckin money.....Because we want to win now, next year, and the year after...you think 2004 was going to let you sail threw the nation .until you made the cover of GQ, think again...
You wanted to play with the big boys and didn't come back until Lucchino got out of your sandbox.

The pitching staff misses TEK. Hell, the whole team does. But the starters, and relievers especially. That's what I wrote about in my short post today. A short post fueled by yesterday, and the day before.

This doesn't prove anything. It's too small a sample size and there are too many other factors for it to be causal. Just because everyone repeats it doesn't make it so.

I'm wracking my brain & I really can't remember the last time the Sox had such a suck-ass pitching staff. Maybe in the late 60's-early 70's?
Isn't Oil Can Boyd still playing semi-pro ball? He ought to be cheap enough.

It's only one stat, but according to the ERA+ stats at The Hardball Times, both Seanez and Tavarez have had better seasons than Beckett.
ERA+ is measured against the rest of the leage and adjusts for park factors. 100 is average, above is better, lower worse.
Both of the EZ boys have been just a hair below average (JT 98, RS 97). Beckett's ERA+ is 88 -- the same as Kyle Snyder's.
Other starters: Schilling 122, Wakefield 114, Lester 100, Wells 77, Clement 71.
Pen: Timlin 126, MDC 107, Foulke 89, Hansen 79 ... and Papelbon 532.
A lot of things have gone wrong this year -- but Beckett's performance has to be the most disappointing.

Why is it that I hear "remember the 2004 ALCS?" from so many Red Sox fans? How does that help the Sox now. Referring to past acomplishments to make up for current woes is simply a cop-out. You never hear Yankees fans saying "remember the 2000 WS" or "2003 ALCS" because those things don't matter any more. Its much more fun to live in the present while trying to win this season then it is to dwell on the past while going through hell. I am neither a Red Sox or Yankees fan but it seems that Red Sox fans worry more about hating the Yankees than loving the Sox. Its almost an inferiority complex. Case and point: http://pubpages.unh.edu/~bberger/pics/pedrojeter.jpg ...If I can give some advice I'd say worry about what's going on in your own house instead of someone elses.

Yesterday I was trying to find a word to describe what I was seeing (a 10-year old can come up with "fucking awful"). A caller to 'EEI' just nailed it. They were uncompetitive. That pretty much sums up the 39 runs and 28 walks, the 0-16 with RISP in game 1, the lineups that Tito is running out there (except for game 2, when Sox scored 11) and the "bolstering" the front office has provided the woeful pitching staff. Uncompetitive. That has to be the worst word a professional can hear. Time to sack up, boys.
- August 20, 2006 at 8:37 AM
"Look at that."
That's just a t-shirt from some store trying to make a buck. I'm sure Red Sox stores have their own such things as well. Thats not really my point. On the news today a reporter was interviewing a Red Sox fan after saturday's game and after being asked what their thoughts were they said something to the effect of "it's alright (infront of a yankee fan), remember the 2004 ALSC". All I could think to myself was how irrelevant that was to mention that. If your a red sox fan, why watch another game for the rest of your life. Just refer back to 2004. If the Red Sox come in last place in 2008 will 2004 still be good enough?

I was a Yankees fan for 28 years and have spent more time in Yankee Stadium, regular and post-season, than probably anyone who reads this blog.
The Yankee organization and their fans talk CONSTANTLY about past championships, past heroics, and past fucking everything. It's so obvious it hardly bears saying. Have you seen the Dent homerun (on YES or on the Stadium scoreboard) lately? The Boone homerun? Mr. November? The Chambliss homerun? DiMaggio walking through the 56 sign? Gehrig's speech?
The Yankees identify themselves as "the most celebrated sports team in history" and talk about nothing BUT the number of pennants and championships they have won.
One t-shirt??? You can't possibly be serious. Either you've been a Yankees fan for 30 seconds or you live on Mars.
Every team should celebrate their past accomplishments, and fans should as well. Celebrating history does not mean you don't care about the future. But for a Yankees fan to say that their team doesn't dwell on the past is beyond bullshit. It's obscene.
Redsock, I hope you don't let your blog become a Sox Fan vs Yanks Fan forum. There's enough of that shite all over the net already.

- Jack Marshall said...
Redsock: As I'm sure you can guess, I agree with just about everything in your rant, including the invective. I do think the criticism of the offense is misplaced: 20 runs in a Yankee series should be enough to win at least two out of three games, and I would have been happy with that. This was a failure of pitching, management, talent evaluation, leadership and character.
And think of this: having been willing to sacrifice this season to a "future" based on four young pitchers who have shown themselves so far incapable of performing in a pennant race, Theo is committed to entrusting next seaon to them as well. I, for one, won't trust them until they show that they have more competitive resources than they've shown this weekend, and that means that I won't be able to trust the Sox until next August at best.
Unless there's a regime change. You may recall that I was 100% against the team re-hiring Theo Epstein because I felt that he showed miserable judgement and a lack of profesionalism in the timing and manner of his exit last year. Surprise: you are now questioning decisions made by a guy who abandoned his team right before the GM meetings disguised as a gorilla.
Gee, who could have predicted THAT??? Why, top managers and decision-makers always behev that way...except that they don't.
The Reds, a much worse team than the Sox, managed to restructure their bullpen mid-season. Good starting pitchers, of which Theo knew they were at least one short from the minute Matt Clement showed that he still wasn't right, were available for a price months ago. Refuse to mortgage the future? WHAT future? The team is old...after this season, it will be faced with replacing Wells, Schilling, Timlin, and maybe Wakefield. Manny is on the downside; Lowell is well over 30. Varitek (who's absence neither explains nor excuses the rotten performance of the pitching staff) is probably on a quick slide to oblivion. If Theo was willing to trade Marte for a centerfielder, reasoning that a minor-leaguer couldn't be dependes on to become a star. then he should have been willing to trade Hanson or Delcarmen. Sure: Tito is amediocrity who doesn't have the IQ or creativity to deal with injuries and adversity (unlike Joe Torre.) But Theo is the culprit here, and he deserves to pay the price.

This has nothing to do with anything important, but I was at that freakshow of a game yesterday, and I could have sworn that Papi's entrance music for his last at-bat was Gnarls Barkley's Crazy. According to Wikipedia, Papi's intro theme is The Notorious B.I.G.'s "Big Poppa"... I'm going to tonight's game too... I'll try to listen for it. It'll give me something to do if the game sucks. :(

He might have different music for each AB.
When we went to Yankee Stadium years ago, we could always count on "You Shook Me All Night Long" as Tino Martinez's 2nd PA (or 3rd?)music.
And "Baba O'Reilly" for O'Neil and Mike Stanton having that ultra-shitty Aldo Nova song, which I refuse to type the title of.

now, can you direct me to all your posts about how stupid it was for Boston to let Damon go to the Yanks? :)

your first visit to a blog and thinking of starting trouble -- thanks for giving me a good idea of where you're coming from.
any and all "trouble" will be deleted as soon as possible -- and that would be the case even if boston was leading the east by 30 games.
go search for the posts yourself -- you know the time period. the results of four games is no gauge of any ballplayer. (remember when jeter went 0-for-25 and heard tons of boos at yankee stadium?)
i still believe that the pile of damon money was better spend elsewhere.
a hot weekend does not = 4 long years.

The Collector: History of dish is a mystery to reader
Dear Collector: This two-sided plate/bowl was given to me years ago. On the back is an eagle with "C.T."; what is the value and history of this piece?
The backstamp you describe is that of C. Tielsch and Co., a German porcelain maker who was headquartered in Altwasser (now Walbrzych, Poland). A success right off the bat, Tielsch offered numerous products from commercial pieces to household items. Most references list this mark as being used before 1934.
Dear Collector: In an earlier column you answered a question on a Better Little Book named "Kayo and Moon Mullins and the One Man Gang." I have this book in very good condition, what's it worth?
For those of us (including me) who are not "Moon Mullins" knowledgeable: he was the lead character of a popular newspaper comic which was launched in 1923. Together with Kayo his kid brother, Moon had escapades galore in the demi-monde. Who or what the "One Man Gang" is, I haven't the foggiest. As to the book in question, I ran a search of every column I've written and was unable to discover any reference to Moon Mullins or Kayo. I did find several listings in price guides for your 1939 Whitman illustrated children's novel. The lowest value was $25, while a high of more than $60 was mentioned.
Dear Collector: My daughter got this "Lola Liddle" doll at a flea market. Do you think is it worth more than the $2 she paid?
Lola is one of Mattel's "Liddle Kiddle" dolls from the 1960s. Since she looks to be mint on her original store card, current value is close to $100.
Dear Collector: Would you tell us how old this electric clock is, and if is has any value above that of family history?
Telechron named this late 1940s model the "Advisor." Offered in several color schemes, this popular plastic-cased clock sold nearly 1 million units over the six years it was manufactured. Not valuable, about $25, its simple design is still nonetheless attractive today.
Dear Collector: My mother told me our Liberty Bell bank was a gift to her mother in the 1930s. Could this be true?
Research agrees with the date of your keepsake that came from Arcade Manufacturing; a defunct Illinois firm specializing in cast iron toys. The Liberty Bell, an American icon, has been an oft repeated theme for penny banks for well over a century, and yours is worth $50.
Dear Collector: I have an 1822 one-cent coin. Could you tell me what its value is?
This copper coin is nicknamed the "Coronet Cent" because of an ornamental band or diadem worn by Liberty. Surrounding her head are 13 stars, while on the reverse designer John Reich added a laurel wreath. Value on a well circulated coin is approximately $25.
Recommended reading: "Celery Vases: Art Glass, Pattern Glass and Cut Glass," Dorothy Daughtery (Schiffer, 2007, $29.95). "Country Living American Metalware," Joe L.

Why do we keep reading novels in mystery or other series long after their plots have become formulaic and their characters have begun to repeat themselves? Sometimes the answer is simple: We hope their authors will regain their form.
But I've stayed with series after I knew that wouldn't happen and continued to enjoy them. And Maureen Corrigan offers a possible explanation for why in a discussion of Robert B. Parker's Spenser novels in Leave Me Alone, I'm Reading: Finding and Losing Myself in Books (Vintage, 240 pp., $14.95, paperback). Corrigan says she started reading the Spenser series in part because it "helped to transform the macho politics of the private eye and also the profession's monkish lifestyle" with by having a male hero who has a mostly monogamous relationship with a female therapist.
"When I began reading them the Spenser novels were pretty much out there in terms of their depiction of utopian alternatives to the traditional nuclear family," she writes.
The series has changed a lot since its launch, with The Godwulf Manuscript, in 1973, but she's stayed with it. Corrigan writes:
"Whenever a new Spenser novel appears, usually every spring, I still read it in one or two sittings. By now, the plot is almost beside the point. Instead, I read the latest greatly diminished Spenser novels to check in with his extended alternative family: I'm curious about what Hawk is up to these days and about Paul's ongoing search for love and Susan's latest home purchase. Reading the Spenser novels now is a little like reading one of those chatty holiday letters that come tucked in Christmas cards. The story lines are predictable, but still, it's nice to keep up with who's lost weight, gotten married, or had a set of brass knuckles smashed into his face."

Cher Signs Development Deal with Logo for 1960s-Set Series
Cher is returning to TV.
More than 30 years of co-hosting The Sonny and Cher Show, the singer-actress-gay icon has inked a development deal with Logo, the LGBT-friendly cable network announced Saturday at the winter TV previews.
"It doesn't get any more iconic than Cher," Brent Zacky, Logo's senior vice president of original programming and development, told reporters.
Photos: Everybody's posing nude! Check out Rihanna and other stars who've bared all
Cher would star in the scripted series about Hollywood in the 1960s. The project is written by comic and writer Ron Zimmerman, who most recently served as a consulting producer on the Disney Channel series Shake It Up. He also worked as a co-executive producer on the short-lived Jay Mohr series Action and The Michael Richards Show.
No further details about the project were available.
Cher most recently starred in the 2010 musical movie Burlesque.

[This week I'm running extra posts, in addition to reviews, on suggested gifts for readers. No kickbacks from the sellers. These are just gifts I like. Museums sell these ornaments, but I couldn't find any in the U.S. that had them in stock, so I'm listing other suppliers.]
My favorite Christmas decorations include these sterling silver Cat in the Hat and Peter Rabbit ornaments. Each is part of a series with scenes or characters from books by Dr. Seuss or Beatrix Potter (also available as charms and, in some cases, brooches). I first saw the Peter Rabbit ornaments in the gift shop at Hilltop, Potter's home in the English Lake District, part of the Britain's National Trust. In the U.S., you can order them for about $45 each from the venerable Hand & Hammer Silversmiths www.handandhammer.com, which also has the Seuss ornaments. This venerable Virginia company has made presentation silver for every president since John F.Kennedy, who received copies of Paul Revere's lanterns for the Oval Office. I've ordered from its vast selection of sterling silver ornaments without problems. If you're interested in a Seuss ornament, you might also try Seussland www.seussland.com, which has a good selection.
The ornaments shown are "The Cat in the Hat," left, and "Mrs.Rabbit and Her children," right, both from the Hand & Hammer Silversmiths online catalog.

We are proud to introduce a shortcast series to the hacklibschool empire. TMI (Two Minute Insights) will be a semi-regular podcast sort of thing where a member of the HackLibSchool team will call a LIS professional with one question and a two minute time slot for that person to answer. The goal is to get short, interesting insights to the life of someone working in the field, and also to move the conversation out of text and into different media. (Basically, I got tired of reading all the time, and I listen to lots of podcasts.)
Round one of TMI – Melissa Rochelle talking about what it means to be an emerging technology librarian in rural Arizona, and Andy Woodworth explaining his #andypoll series on Twitter. Listen below!

The other morning I stumbled into the bathroom well before the kids were awake. "Yay!" I thought, "I'll get to take a shower today!" But then I remembered. I was all out of shampoo. And I forgot to get more last time I went to the store.
My spirit, unwilling to be dampened, I decided I'd try that whole baking soda for shampoo/apple cider vinegar for conditioner, thing I've heard about. I mean, really. I use all natural soap, natural toothpaste, natural household cleaners, homemade laundry detergent. I can do homemade shampoo! Yay for less chemicals! Yay for clean hair!
Except baking soda in your hair is gross. Really, really gross. I almost titled this post "The 'Poo' in Shampoo."
I mean, I know it was the first time I tried it, and maybe I did it wrong. Maybe I just need some guidance? If you do the baking soda thing, let me know. I did a quick Google search, and I mixed up baking soda and water according to the recipes I found. Basically 1 Tablespoon soda and 1 cup water. I also mixed up the apple cider vinegar and some water.
First, I tried what they all said to do. I wet my hair and poured the baking soda mix into my hair at the roots. I massaged it all around and rinsed. I have really thick hair and by this time it felt all tangled and I was having doubts about the vinegar thing, but that part was actually uh.maze.ing! I had put the vinegar mix in a squirt bottle and it completely detangled and smoothed my hair, pretty much instantly. "Yay! This will make such a great blog post!" I thought.
I got out of the shower, and went to dry my hair and it was all smooth and sleek and shiny! WOW! I blew it dry. Gorgeous. Well. Almost. It looked all greasy at the roots. It felt all greasy at the roots too. Super greasy. Not oily, greasy. Worse than before I got in. Maybe I got carried away with the vinegar? Hmm. The kids were still asleep, so I decided I'd give it another go.
I decided to sprinkle in baking soda dry at the roots. I worked it all around and it looked like the grease was all absorbed. But also like I had grayed out my hair, since my hair is quite dark and there was now a fine white dust on it. So I hopped back in the shower to give it a rinse. And I could feel the greasiness about ten times worse than what it felt like before. It was not the vinegar that caused this. It was totally the baking soda. I gave up. I scrounged around the bathroom until I found some tiny, little bit of shampoo in a travel bottle. I used it.
I will totally keep that apple-cinder vinegar thing. It is awesome. But the baking soda for cleaning your hair – a total sham.

Jon Candelaria is being hailed as a hero for pulling a man out of rushing floodwaters during Superstorm Sandy. He did what most hope to have the courage to do in a life or death emergency.
The 25-year-old father was in his family's Upper East Side apartment on Monday night when he looked out the window and saw an SUV taxi lifted by the powerful force of water beneath it. While his mother tried to reach 911 for help, Candelaria went to save the driver who was nearly drowning. The water was up to Candelaria's chest, but he managed to pry open the door, with the driver's help, just in time.
Neighbors witnessed the daring rescue. At 6-foot-5, Candelria carried the driver, who was about 5-foot-1, to safety.
He'll join us tonight to talk to Anderson about that fateful night. Watch the interview at 8 and 10 p.m. ET.
UPDATE Watch the interview here:
Filed under: Hurricane Sandy • New York City
Why don't Obama and Romney help out New York by sending them some of the millions of dollars that they waste each day on negative advertisments. It's so sad to see the amounts of money that their campaigns receive and the millions of people all over the US that could use that money. They waste more money everyday on campaigning and visiting different states than the average person could make in a life time. New York cancelled the marathon which should have been done days ago and maybe Obama and Romney could cancel their campaigns for a few days and help out the people in New York because they always say they want to help out the American people.
I honestly Must agree with Robert Carlson.

Anderson Cooper remembers seven victims of the Sandy Hook Elementary school shooting laid to rest Thursday.
Post by: Anderson Cooper
Filed under: Connecticut School Shooting
Anderson, I want to thank you so much for bringing us the poignant stories of these victims. I have been glued to CNN since it happened & just can't imagine the grief these families are feeling. It is comforting to hear the stories from the families about there loved ones. I am grieving with you. I am also praying these weapons are banned soon. Just this weekend there is a gun show coming to York PA. I am so livid that this is able to go on, one short week after this tragedy. ALL GUN SHOWS & sales should be stopped in respect for these innocent souls. God Bless us All.
despite the NRA stance on the 2nd Amendment toward the rights to bear arms, I believe that it will be a long process to (since the Colombine School shooting) change our attitude toward assault weapons. Correct me if I'm wrong? wasn't there someone on CNN claimed that assault weapon was a fun weapon? my point is who the hell needs to own a assault weapon for what purpose??
With emotions running high in the last week regarding this terrible massacre of innocents, many suggestions have come to the table. I would like to offer mine. They have been three years in the making.
Sandy Hook solidified these ideas.
I would like to propose the following: A worldwide (yes worldwide) education reform plan based on Multiple Intelligence Theory, wrapped in the massive open online education (MOOC) platform.
Our schools are not safe. As a veteran urban educator, have witnessed violence many times. I have been maced three times. I have taken weapons off kids.
Perpetrators can get into a school through any means necessary. With hundreds of children moving in and out, with parents, community workers visiting, with all the many entrances and exits...it is impossible, I believe, to fully protect our kids.
In addition, the "enemy within" lurks. This is the enormous amount of bullying that occurs in our schools...or through cyberspace, then spilling into schools. I believe that a MOOC platform would enable kids to learn ...with the vital socialization occurring through the increasingly sophisticated software programs that MOOC's provide.
Children could further have social opportunities through neighborhood groups, or through agencies that already exist like the Boy/Girl Scout, YMCA/YWCA, and special interest groups.
This is a controversial idea. It would change education forever. It would NOT eliminate "bricks and sticks" buildings. It would, however, give alternatives to keep our kids safe.

Anderson, thank you for the stories on the children and the adults who were murdered at Sandy Hook school....but most of all thank you for not giving the killer a face or name. He and others like him cannot win if the rest of the media will follow your lead and not give these killers air time. Stay well.
Banning the guns or magazines for them will not help. Only the honest will obey the law and the "shooters" will find them illegally. The answer is to stop manufacturing them. I will take a while to get them out of circulation but there should be fewer every year if they are destroyed whenever the authorities confiscate them.
My heart hurts for the family of all the victims of the CT tragedy.....those little Angels and their teachers. However, I think it's unfair that most people are excluding Nancy Lanza the CT shooter's mother from Memorializing her....after all, she is also a victim! It's very horrible what her son has done to her, those innocent Angels and their teachers, but I believe leaving HER out of memorials In my opinion is NOT right.....just saying!
