Back-to-school lunch ideas: Spooky fun that is mom-approved
MINNEAPOLIS, Oct. 31, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Trying to find fun new ways to give your kids a lunch that is trade-proof? Newly reformulated Yoplait® Go-GURT® yogurt is a great choice to add to lunches for a number of reasons-no high-fructose corn syrup and has natural flavors and colors. Just the same great taste and fun only Yoplait can deliver in a tube.

"Our consumers expressed their need for a product that doesn't contain high fructose corn syrup for their kids and we listened and acted," said Justin Conzemius, Yoplait associate marketing director. "For the past year, we have been working on a product that would achieve those goals, yet continue to deliver a product that kids found fun and delicious."
With the school year in full swing, Go-GURT makes a great lunchbox addition for back-to-school fun because it is designed to freeze and thaw* by lunchtime. Moms can make lunches trade-proof by doing a few simple, yet creative makeovers to a traditional sandwich.
How about an owl-shaped sandwich for a change? Take two slices of bread and add your kid's favorite items, such cheese and meat, or for some crunch, sliced cucumbers and cream cheese. Cut the sandwich at the corners to make one large triangle and two small ones. Add a couple cucumber slices and raisins for eyes and triangle-shaped piece of cheese for the nose. Your kids will be surprised when they open their lunch container and find an owl staring at them, and with a little fruit, some pretzels and a Go-GURT yogurt, they are set!
Sharpen your kid's minds with a pencil-shaped sandwich. Simply cut the corners to make a tip at the top of the sandwich filled with kid's favorites. Top with a piece of cheese cut-out like a sharpened pencil, ridges and all, thin slice a piece of white cheese and meat for the eraser. Serve in the lunch container with some sliced vegetables and fruit. Finish off the lunch with one of the many Go-GURT yogurt flavors-another trade-proof lunch.
For some spooky fun, cut the bread of a sandwich with a little body-shaped cookie cutter. Top with thin slices of white cheese, layered over each other to appear like a little wrapped mummy sandwich. Use candy flavored eyes to peek out. Add some fruit, carrots and an olive-shaped spider for the "trick" and refreshing Go-GURT for the "treat."
To keep drinks cool, freeze the Go-GURT the night before and in the morning band it to the lunch container with a bottle of water or favorite beverage. The frozen Go-GURT will help keep the water cool and then it will thaw by lunch time for a great snack.
In addition, Go-GURT also is a perfect afternoon snack for mom to continue to feel good about giving to her kids.
With 30 years of experience, Yoplait continues to bring innovation to the category by focusing on consumers' varying needs from a trusted brand they can rely on and is fun for their families. A good source of calcium, Go-GURT yogurt contains natural colors and flavors and has at least 10 percent daily value of Vitamin A and D. The reformulated Go-GURT has new packaging with the health messages called out, and all the same great flavors. Available in 8 and 16-count package varieties, the tube offerings are as fun as they are healthy. With a suggested retail price of $2.89 per 8-pack and $4.99 per 16-pack, Go-GURT is available nationally in the refrigerated aisle. For more information from Go-GURT yogurt, visit www.yoplait.com.

miuccia does the slide
>> Miuccia Prada loves her art as much as the next designer — maybe even more, considering that she's about to build a new headquarters to house her 500 piece contemporary art collection.
My favorite piece of art she's commissioned, however, is The Slide No. 5, a transparent slide by German artist Carsten Höller that connects Miuccia's Milanese office to the parking lot below. Finally, a picture of the much-storied tube — isn't it funny to imagine Miuccia hopping in it and whooshing down, curls flapping behind her?

another model/actress
>> Another familiar face has been revealed as a participant to Vogue Italia's all-black-model issue: Liya Kebede (left). She's shooting with Steven Meisel today, and then heading off to Europe in June for another movie role.
This time, the role will be a stretch. She'll be playing Somalian model Waris Dirie (right), who was the face of Chanel Allure perfume and appeared in the Pirelli calendar twice.
The movie, Desert Flower, is based on Waris' autobiography of the same name which chronicles her childhood in the Somali desert, her entrance into modeling, and her role as a United Nations spokeswoman against circumcision.
Waris most recently made headlines for a brief disappearance in March. Another fun fact: She's Iman's cousin.
nina betty
>> It still hasn't been determined whether Nina Garcia will be seen anymore at the Elle offices, but one place you can definitely see her this week: on Thursday's episode of Ugly Betty. Here's a sneak peek of her guest appearance, complete with that ubiquitous Proenza Schouler safari vest.
clearing the air
>> Those rumors about Frances Bean Cobain being the next face of Chanel which first surfaced in January and are now circling anew? Not true.

Jamelle and Karane said they hit it off immediately after they met by chance at a downtown club's Ladies Night, and felt like they had known each other forever. They were together four years before marrying last October.
Karane said she went to Jamelle's mother first to ask her daughter's hand in wedlock. Sitting in their comfortable Washington home, they appear blissfully happy being together, but DOMA has put unexpected strains on the marriage because of "little frustrations." For one thing, they worry what could happen when Jamelle gets sent overseas in a war zone.
"Technically, I am a single person deploying," she said. "So I don't have any protection for my family. I could deploy tomorrow and there would be nothing in place to help my family. It would be just me. So that's definitely scary. Financially, making sure that the responsibility that we have to each other and to our families is taken care of, and it would be like I'm leaving Karane in a lurch."
Karane added: "It's like we have to still go above and beyond just to get to where heterosexual couples already are."
They believe they are burdened by a triple social stigma -- as women, black and lesbians.
The couple hopes to have children someday, but that would create further layers of what they say are discriminatory rules. For now this self-described "boring couple" say they look forward to the day their children would be born and raised in a post-DOMA world.
But regardless how the Supreme Court rules, they say they will persevere.
"I should be able to walk with my wife hand in hand and live our life. We shouldn't have to sit here on the edge of our seats, waiting for a decision," said Karane. "Are we going to finally be able to just be recognized without any strings attached?... We're humans, we live in a strange society, and we have to work with what we've got."

"I like her," I said through my teeth. Shepley held his hand to his ear. "What? I couldn't quite hear you." "You're an asshole! Did you hear that?" Shepley crossed his arms. "Say it." "I like her, okay?" "Not good enough." "I have feelings for her. I care about her. A lot. I can't stand it when she's not around. Happy?" "For now," he said, grabbing his backpack off the floor."Travis and Shepley

Moody's cut the outlook on Germany's prized Aaa credit rating from "stable" to "negative" Monday. The move could precede a full-blown downgrade, which would mark a grim turn for a country long thought of as a bulwark of financial stability in Europe.
The rating agency also revised the outlooks on the Aaa ratings of the Netherlands and Luxembourg from "stable" to negative." Finland maintained its Aaa rating and stable outlook.
Moody's said the revisions for the three countries were prompted by "the rising uncertainty regarding the outcome of the euro area debt crisis" and the "increasing likelihood that greater collective support for other euro area sovereigns, most notably Spain and Italy, will be required."
The possibility of a Greek exit from the euro, Moody's said, could threaten banks throughout the eurozone. German banks also have significant exposure to other struggling countries on the continent, particularly Italy and Spain, the agency added.
Even if the monetary union remains intact, Moody's said Germany, as the eurozone's largest economy, will likely bear an increased financial burden as further bailout funds are required.
"We reiterate our strong commitment to ensure the stability of the euro area as a whole," said Eurogroup president Jean-Claude Juncker, following Moody's actions.
Stocks fell globally on Monday amid fears that Spain may need an expanded bailout package. The yield on 10-year Spanish bonds shot up Monday to a euro-era record of 7.565%, a level widely considered unsustainable.
Fellow ratings agency Standard & Poor's has Germany rated AAA with a stable outlook.

Hi there, wondering if someone has any knowledge of this as it was mentioned to a colleague but they can't remember the details - someone mentioned that there are universities that will do usability testing for free and seeing as we are on a tight budget this seemed a valid option for us rather than doing none at all.
Has anyone heard of this and if so do they know what universities?
thanks in advance
Vickie, I don't remember the name of these universities on top of my head but, there are few in United States. I would like to introduce you to Michael Summers who runs the Usability Lab at GSI Commerce (Pennsylvania, USA) and has worked with Universities in the past. I am sure, he can direct you to the right universities. He is among the Top 10 Usability Guys in the Industry.
You can initiate a dialogue with him via LinkedIn. Let me know if you face any problem and I will introduce you to him.
Hi there Sashant,
I'm really sorry I haven't responded to this, I didn't get an email notification there had been a response! Ever so sorry.
Thanks for the info but I actually need UK uni's as otherwise the findings will be skewed towards the US user who's needs, expectations etc are quite different from the UK.
Thanks tho! Have a great Christmas.

Spartan Voices
I am proud to be a Spartan because of the reputation it gives me. SJSU has opened so many doors for me to network with companies in the Bay Area. The hands-on experience in laboratory classes has given me a practical application of my degree.
- Chelsea Jackson, '11 Biology
Our college transforms science majors into professionals fully qualified for a global and regional Silicon Valley work force, and prepares them for advanced training and life-long learning. We provide core science education for engineers, health care professionals, K-12 teachers and many other technical fields, as well as basic mathematics and science skills to students in non-science majors. We instill our students with an awareness of science and technology so that they can be informed citizens in our highly technical and culturally diverse society.
Our goal is to enable all undergraduate students to achieve a well-rounded education by attaining the quantitative, critical thinking and scientific skills necessary for lifelong learning and informed decision-making on scientific issues. This year, to help us accomplish this goal, we have:
- Upgraded classrooms and labs for improved safety and access to emerging technologies.
- Developed cross-college interdisciplinary programs in cybersecurity, data science and biotechnology.
- Focused on student success through intensive advising with professional advisors, faculty members and peer mentors.
I am grateful to loyal supporters who have helped enable our successes. I encourage your involvement and investment in the future of our college and our students. This is a great time to make a commitment and invest in what promises to be a dynamic and exciting tomorrow for our college and San José State University.

As a near universal rule, the NCAA makes bad decisions.

Now I'm not so sure.

TODAY | January 05, 2013
>> a good inspiration story. we've got just that for you. want to introduce 28-year-old michelle moore.
>> first this is her "before" picture at her heaviest. michelle was 210 pound. she is now just 110 pounds. come on out.
>> michelle used to wear a size 18 pants. now she's a size 0. how much of a difference? right there.
>> wow.
>> come on over.
>> thank you. good morning.
>> can i tell you something, i'd only seen your before pictures. and you passed us in the hall when we were ready to go out. was only after you walked past, i thought that must be michelle . congratulations.
>> thank you very much. the biggest comment i get, people don't believe they was ever heavy.
>> and -- you're this itty-bitty thing now. we know you've kept it off for more than five years. for most people, even if they lose it, the hardest part is maintaining. how did you do it?
>> really my own diet and exercise plan. i kind of did my own research on the internet, came up, tailored a plan that worked to me. i just -- that was my biggest thing.
>> you didn't set out saying i'm going to lose 100 pounds.
>> no, i didn't. it's really small goals you set for yourself. 100 pounds seems daunting. so just small goals, then once you hit your small goals, you make more goals.
>> talk about maintaining. that is often the hard thing for people. they can see those first five or ten pounds go away. then maintaining is hard.
>> absolutely. but it's a lifestyle change for sure. you make the small changes, but then they become habits. my lifestyle's completely different from what it used to be. i'm much more active and eat healthier.
>> and this has to be -- so many teams people say -- you're an inspiration for keeping it off. people have to make that decision on their own. you hit a breaking point.
>> absolutely. absolutely. i remember at one point, just laying on the couch and bawling, i'm never going to be thin. you know. but it was -- i got to the point where in a group of friends, i felt invisible. i really felt like no one listened to what i had to say. no one knew whether or not i was there in the room. i didn't want to be invisible anymore.
>> conversely, did you ever find people not in a mean way but trying to sabotage your weight loss at a certain point?
>> no, to be honest they were very supportive. what kept me motivated was the compliments i would receive. you know, michelle , you're looking so great, or good job. things like that.
>> you made this lifestyle choice now, and do you still have to think about every meal?
>> i do. i do think about all of the -- my choices. but like i said, it's become a habit. so it gets easier.
>> 100 pounds is a lot for folks. i wonder what advice you would give folks who -- that's a daunting number. i know that wasn't the number you had in mind. what's the best advice for folks?
>> the best advice is if i can do it, you can do it. and just, you know, it's a lifestyle change. don't think of it as a diet, a temporary.
>> a full lifestyle -- you did it in small steps . and the fact that it's inspirational to people, you didn't have a personal trainer . you didn't have a personal chef . you did this on your own.
>> absolutely.
>> well it can be done.
>> it can be done.
>> you look fantastic. you're inspiring me. i'm going to the gym today.
>> thank you.
>> michelle moore, thanks for being with us.

Which hosting provider? Managed or Unmanaged?
I am on a similar config Q9400, which I believe is a bit better than Q6600. I am paying 50% more for unmanaged but no complaints and no plans to move but just wondering. It's still decent for good servers and service.
I have optimized my site alot for performance and it's quite fast, especially in comparison what it used to be, but I still think there's some room for improvement. Just last week upgraded to MySQL 5.5, looking into Percona as an option, upgrading to better hardware is an option too.

In the wake of the Newtown, Conn., school shooting, debates over gun control legislation have once again taken center stage in Washington. In Living With Guns: A Liberal's Case for the Second Amendment, former New York Times reporter Craig Whitney traces the history of the Second Amendment and the legislative efforts to regulate guns since the beginning of time. He recently spoke with U.S. News about America's gun culture, how the Second Amendment has been reinterpreted over time, and President Obama's proposals to stem gun violence. Excerpts:
Why was the Second Amendment included in the Bill of Rights?
It was part of a number of assurances that the people who had written the Constitution thought they had to give to ensure that enough states [would ratify] the Constitution. This was a guarantee that the states could keep their militias as a possible deterrent to an attempt to impose tyranny by some kind of evil or power-mad national leader using a standing army, which the founders thought was the most dangerous thing they could think of to liberty. It was a political move to make sure the states could keep their militias up.
[See a collection of political cartoons on gun control and gun rights.]
How has the idea of gun ownership changed?
The colonists needed guns to hunt and defend themselves against [Native American] attacks and eventually against the British, et cetera. So there was always a component of self-defense, but it became connected with a civic duty to serve in the militia, in the common defense. And what's changed in recent years is that the [National Rifle Association] and other radical gun rights organizations have propagated the idea that you need to have a gun for your own self-defense. Personal self-defense was never part of the debates about the Second Amendment back in the time it was adopted. Because of the turbulence of the 1960s, this notion that self-defense was the prime aim of the Second Amendment and a guarantee against the infringement of your freedom came about.
How influential has the NRA been in the policy debate?
Well, very, because they have been very effective in funding campaigns of candidates who vote on gun legislation the way the NRA wants them to and defeating candidates who don't. It's been one of the most powerful lobbies in Washington for years.
[Check out U.S. News Weekly, now available on the iPad.]
Do you think they will be able to influence the most recent gun control proposals?
This will be a big test of the NRA's continued effectiveness. If Congress votes everything down and doesn't even approve a tightening of the loophole that exempts private sellers from going through the [National Instant Criminal Background Check System] database with the buyer's name, then I guess the NRA's strength has not been affected by Newtown. But if enough people speak up about what they want their legislators to do and don't let the NRA monopolize the discussion, then Congress might do things differently.
[Read the U.S. News debate: Should Obama's Gun Control Proposals Be Enacted?]
If passed, what effect would President Obama's gun control proposals have?
All of the proposals I make in my book turn up in one form or another in the Obama proposals. They go beyond mine in suggesting a ban on assault rifles, but things like making it a crime to sell a gun or buy one for a person who is legally not entitled to own a firearm, like a criminal or drug addict, a mentally ill person, I do agree could reduce the numbers of gun deaths that we have every year.
Would the measures stop school shootings?
I don't think there's any gun control measure that can stop mass school shootings, including a ban on assault rifles. A ban on expanded magazines might have some effect and that I think might possibly get through Congress. I think you need other measures beyond gun control to deal with the phenomenon of mass shootings by deranged people. I'm glad to see that Obama included some proposals to improve the way mental health care is provided. And the [recently passed] New York state law gives mental health professionals the go-ahead to report patients they think are likely to commit violent acts to mental health [officials who will check a state gun registration database]. Law enforcement can then take their weapons away if they have any.
[See a collection of editorial cartoons on the Newtown shooting.]
What other measures would be effective in reducing gun violence in the United States?
Increasing the penalties for people who commit crimes using guns would be an effective deterrent. I think the vigorous prosecution of straw buyers, people who buy guns knowingly for criminals and others who can't buy them themselves from federal dealers, would be an effective step that could be taken. And I think that improving the reporting requirements of the states to the national database is something that definitely should be done. Finally, I think that we have to do something to improve the way mental illness is handled in this country.

To be fair, this happens a lot in laptop GPUs. Heck nVidia's 600M series has a bunch of Fermi parts in it. Some of them high end ones. It is just easier to get away with it because people don't expect laptop GPUs to be the same as desktop.
There is going to be more of this kind of magic because of this guy - http://www.brightsideofnews.com/new...re-exec-roy-taylor-joins-amds-dream-team.aspx Sources suggest this was one of the best hiring in recent times by AMD.
If it helps build up AMD cards and get more gpus sold I don't care. This should only help lower costs to consumers.
not really idiotic imo... not for them. doesn't matter for us because it doesn't exist for us since it's OEM only
And those OEM's are going to be selling them as AMD advertises them to consumers, which is going to create confusion and possibly people getting scammed on sites such as eBay. Technically it's an 8970, did I forget to mention it's an OEM version? *trollface* I'm still pretty certain Nvidia is going to rebrand mid/top-end 6xx series GPU's as low/mid 7xx series GPU's, but as long as the performance isn't misleading (e.g. rebranding a GK104 as a 780 then releasing like a GK110 as a 775 that performs better or something) I am fine with it.
Still, it's not affecting us apart from needing to wait for the 9XXX series which is good if they take the time to really get a good jump from the 7XXX series AMD will make more money because of this so its a good move for them, when they did renaming before it didn't hurt them. AMD with more money = better for us the consumers since AMD can remain more competitive and still alive
I'm surprised how Nvidia's rebranding is bad but AMD can do anything to survive. So they have plenty of HD6xxx if they are going to use than in next-gen consoles.
And if "this" generation is called 8000 series, then "that" generation is going to be called ... 9000 series?
yea, basically like skipping a generation for us... didn't NV do something like that with the 3XX series?
I guess he is referring to the fact that we have very powerful GPUs but not a whole lot to push it, which many blame on the console stagnation. You might see things that will put a hurt on your high-end GPUs, but this is primarily due to intensive particle effects that don't add a whole lot to the experience. A good example of this is Metro 2033. (great game though) Unreal and Source engines do a great job while maintaining wide playability, while engines like Frostbite are tough to run, but look great with effects not often found in other engines. Edit: this makes me wonder if my 6850m is actually a 5850m, ill have to check that.
The OEM version of the GTX660 being weaker is arguable, the clocks are lower, but it has more shaders, and while the memory bandwidth seems higher on the retail GTX660, because of its memory configuration 512MB of the memory has to share its memory bandwidth.
That makes no sense. If that was the case they'd just label and sell it as the 7000 series and save themselves the hassle.
They could do that, but they'd not have the same profit margins for having a "NEW" GPU. I can't buy a GHZ Edition 7970, or ANY BOOST 7950's, or 7870's...they just do not exist locally. In fact, ANY high-end AMD card is really rare here. NVidia, you got 100 models of GTX670 in stock, and about 15 GTX680. I'll gladly take an HD8950, and flash my 7950 BIOS on to it. Because I CANNOT buy a 79xx-series card even if I wanted to.
I didn't realize this many TPUer's used Pre-Built OEM's... I don't see anything wrong with this a 7970 is still plenty fast for any normal user and someone thats going to be buying Pre-Built will not be buying a whole new computer just to upgrade the GPU.
How will this hurt sales? When the people who buy the vast majority of these rigs configure them on Dell or Lenovo's or HP's site or see them in the local bestbuy and one has an 8950 in it the highest number card sold do you really think they are going to spend hours researching if that is a rebranded card or blindly purchase it? Do you really think for a second the people purchasing a PREBUILT PC give two flying hoots what rebrands in their PC as long as it is the fastest sold? No one is telling you to run out and spend 3 times as much as the hardware is worth for a prebuilt, but people buy them and right now the 8950 sounds like the fastest card out there. Why do you think OEM's have terrible graphics cards with 4GB of onboard ram? Do you really think a GT620 can use 4GB of ram? On a spec sheet that looks great just like the 16GB of slow as heck ram they stuffed in next to it. OEM prebuilts are a numbers game and big numbers sell. Move on. You can get your panties in a wad all you want, but you are never going to stop it.
This should be prohibited by law. Seriously. Lets repack Fiat 500 as Ferrari 458 Italia. They are both italian, they can both be in red, lets sell them both for the same price. Wtf...
What are you talking about? They do that now Ford Taurus and Ford 500, Chevy Aveo and Chevy Sonic the list goes on and on. AMD didn't rebrand the 7950 as a GTX780 like you are suggesting.

Home and barn burn on Three Mile Bridge Road in BerlinMark Collier / Staff Photo
Firefighters train a stream of water on a burning home on Three Mile Bridge Road late Wednesday in Berlin.BERLIN — Fire has destroyed a hay barn and engulfed a home on Three Mile Bridge Road in Berlin, but one of the homeowners says no one was hurt and that horses at the property are safe.
The home belongs to Brad Towne and his wife, Rita.
Fire crews from throughout the area were called to the scene about 8:30 p.m.
At 10:10 p.m., much of the first and second floors of the house were engulfed in flames, and all that remained of the hay barn was a few upright timbers. One of three chimneys on the home toppled shortly after 10 p.m.
Rita Towne said many neighbors helped her corral 12 horses and a pony that had been in a second barn that was unaffected. While the home burned, the animals were in a fenced area farther from the fire.
The initial fire calls indicated that the burning barn held animals, but Rita Towne later said that was not the case.
She said the barn and home were insured and that no people were hurt.
Tanker trucks were sent to the scene from several communities, and crews pulled water from the river as far away as the area near Green Mount Cemetery in Montpelier.
Several additional tank trucks were brought in around 10 p.m., including from Northfield and Washington.MORE IN This Just InCity Room with the Rich Schneider, President of Norwich University.

"The mother is the only one person who can teach her child tenderness and compassion. It is this exposure to gentleness in the lap of the mother for the first seven years of life that teaches a man to be just, tolerant, and compassionate in his dealings with others. The entire nervous system, and consequently the entire capacity of a person for self-control, is determined by the touch of a mother."
Yogi Bhajan, The Ancient Art of Self-Healing, page 46
"When a mother is pregnant, the kind of soul she can accept depends on her mental attitude. And then there is another beauty that within the realm of your belly, which is your pregnancy, you can totally transform the soul. The soul is pure and has nothing to do, but the subtle body carries the karma of the previous life. A mother can totally purify the subtle body."
Yogi Bhajan, Women's Camp 1976, p. 320

Iraq's growing mobile operator, Korek has awarded a three year managed services contract to Ericsson. As per agreement, Ericsson will provide provisioning and field maintenance services including day to day services for Korek's network in Baghdad.
Under the new agreement, Ericsson will help Korek achieve optimal network stability for 99.999% of its radio base station (RBS) and microwave sites while finding better efficiencies by focusing on its core activities which include network quality assurance, customer satisfaction as well as business and strategy development.
"Counting on Ericsson for our Network Field Maintenance comes as part of our strategy to focus on providing our customers with the highest network performance quality while at the same time prepare the network for the future to cater for the growing demand on data and telecommunication services in the country." said Ghada Gebara, Korek CEO.
"Based on Ericsson's successful track record and our experience with the company, we are positive that with their pool of knowledge, expertise and capabilities we will be able to offer the highest standards of network quality and reliability, use our resources more efficiently and focus solely on enhancing our customers' experience ."
The agreement marks an extension of a longstanding relationship between Ericsson and Korek, during which they have worked closely on several projects which include the deployment of a billing post-paid system for Korek customers and the preparation of the telecom operator's network for 3G and LTE.
"Today Ericsson is the undisputed leader in managed services and field maintenance," said Tarek Saadi, President and Head of Ericsson North Middle East. "We are aware that one of the most important aspects that need to be taken into consideration during the deployment of any project is scalability and the ability for the operator to cope with the changes in the industry. With the rise of competitiveness of the telecom sector in Iraq nowadays, we are sure that this agreement will strengthen Korek's competitive edge which will, in turn, help improve the quality of services and the end-user experience."
Globally, Ericsson has signed more than 300 managed services contacts in more than 100 countries out of which are 70 contracts in 2011 only. Ericsson manages networks on behalf of operators that service over 900 million subscribers worldwide.

Big League Stew
Joe Maddon on possibly trading David Price: 'Honestly, listen, I've been in an RV for a month'
David Brown at Big League Stew12 hrs agoLAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. — Baseball might be his life, but it is not life and death to Tampa Bay Rays manager Joe Maddon. When asked at the winter meetings Monday what the Rays starting rotation might look like if the team trades left-hander David Price — as many expect them to — Maddon did not reply with the attitude of a panicked man.
"Honestly, listen, I've been in an RV for a month," Maddon said. "I just saw my grandkids in Arizona, hung out in Long Beach for about a week. I mean this sincerely, I really put it down. I'm pretty good at putting it down. I think it's important to put it down."
He's been living in a van down by the river! Just like Matt Foley, the best character Chris Farley ever played on "Saturday Night Live." And like Foley, Maddon would make a great motivational speaker. But he also was being coy. It's important to note that the RV to which Maddon referred had several TVs, including satellite programming. If he wanted to keep up with the doings in baseball, he could have.
And he's been talking to Rays general manager Andrew Friedman, who has been keeping him in the loop, vacation or not.
The Walk-Off: Trumbo trade talks heat up, Choo chatter reaches critical point

Magglio Ordonez elected socialist mayor of his Venezuelan hometown
Mike Oz at Big League Stew13 hrs agoHere's a new entry on the post-baseball jobs list: Ex-MLB slugger Magglio Ordonez has been elected mayor of his hometown in Venezuela, just a year and a half after retiring from MLB.
This is a little more complicated than local-boy-done-good coming home to be mayor, because Ordonez ran on the socialist ticket of president Nicolás Maduro, who won control of the country after controversial leader Hugo Chavez died in March. The recent elections in Venezuela were a show of force for Maduro, who called upon celebrities like Ordonez to help him win more support from the Venezuelan people.
From the Associated Press:
Ordonez's victory in the city of Sotillo in eastern Venezuela was announced by President Nicolas Maduro at a rally Sunday for pro-government candidates who won the majority of 335 races nationwide.
Marvin Miller's Hall of Fame snub is a shame — but OK
David Brown at Big League Stew13 hrs agoLAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. — Marvin Miller missed making baseball's Hall of Fame in his sixth and what his family hopes is his final opportunity. A legendary labor leader, Miller's contributions — while not universally appreciated, obviously — had as much or more of an effect on the game than those of anyone else in the past 40 or 50 years.
And yet, the various electorates in a position to acknowledge Miller's place in baseball have refused to do so, time and again. No disrespect to former managers Bobby Cox, Tony La Russa and Joe Torre — all of whom were announced as new Hall of Famers on Monday — but their awards are tarnished because Miller isn't already in Cooperstown. It's too bad for them, but that's way it has to be. And that's how Miller would have wanted it.
Reds skipper Bryan Price: We want Joey Votto 'to take more advantage' of good counts and get RBIs
David Brown at Big League Stew14 hrs agoLAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. — New Cincinnati Reds manager Bryan Price said he has heard the talk about slugger Joey Votto needing to tinker with his approach. Votto, who is third among active players in OPS, supposedly needs to be more aggressive, expand his strike zone and not take so many pitches — the argument goes — so that he might drive in more runs.
Votto has resisted that notion, and Price doesn't buy into it, entirely. Speaking on Monday at baseball's winter meetings, Price said:
"It's been mentioned, 'Oh, I think he needs to extend the plate and drive in runs' and I don't believe that. It can be very difficult to work hard and get an understanding of the strike zone and be able to manage it like Joey does, and then ask him to go outside that strike zone and be productive with runners in scoring position."
Phew. You've got to be blotto to want to change Joey Votto.
Done Deals: Felipe Paulino, David Cooper on comeback trail in AL Central
Mike Oz at Big League Stew15 hrs agoThis is The Stew's running list of trades and signings that happen during baseball's winter meetings. We'll keep updating this post as the news happens. For more chatter and rumors, be sure to check out our winter meetings tracker.
MONDAY White Sox add pitcher Felipe Paulino on a one-year deal The White Sox added starting pitching depth by signing Felipe Paulino to a one-year deal worth $1.75 million. He's coming back from 2012 Tommy John surgery. In 2011 and 2012, he pitched for the Colorado Rockies and Kansas City Royals.
BLS take : There's good potential here. There's also risk. His ERA was 4.46 in 2011, but advanced-stat minded pundits will tell you he's better than that. They love Paulino's FIP of 3.54 (that's from 2010-2012). This isn't a organization-altering move, but come July or August, the White Sox could look smart.
Still on the market — Barry Bonds reduces price of Beverly Hills mansion by $1.5 million
Mike Oz at Big League Stew17 hrs agoApparently Barry Bonds' $25 million Beverly Hills mansion hasn't been dazzling potential buyers since it went on the market last January. Now the ex-MLB slugger has reduced the price by $1.5 million.
Poor Barry. Can't get into the Hall of Fame on his first try, can't sell his house. It is a nice crib too — 17,100-square-foot of nice, in fact. Here's how Realtor.com describes it:
Bonds' enormous mansion is one of his finest home runs, which is saying something considering he hit 762 bombs over the course of his career. Beyond its sheer size — Bonds expanded the compound-estate by 5,500 square feet after buying it — the Hall of Fame property is flush in the finer things of life.
Looking right at home on its 1.85 acres, the seven-bedroom, 13-bathroom manse comes complete with "smart home" technology, allowing a person to control a number of functions from the touch of an iPad or iPhone (probably Android devices, too).
Mariners GM Jack Zduriencik responds to harsh story that called him incompetent
David Brown at Big League Stew17 hrs agoLAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. — He might have been better off ignoring it, but Seattle Mariners general manager Jack Zduriencik responded to a story in the Seattle Times that sometimes brutally questioned his qualifications and abilities to run a baseball team.
Zduriencik released a statement and later talked to reporters at the winter meetings Monday, addressing assertions made by former manager Eric Wedge and another former Mariners employee who said the M's front office was plagued by "total dysfunction and a lack of leadership."
In replying, Zduriencik attempts to paint Wedge as being disgruntled at not being given a contract extension. He did not address an assertion by Tony Blengino, his former top assistant, that Zduriencik misled the M's about a key part of his resume.
Here's the total statement by Zduriencik:
Here is statement from #mariners GM Jack Zduriencik in response to Seattle Times story on Sunday. pic.twitter.com/nyv99GJcn1
White Sox owner Jerry Reinsdorf responds to Chris Sale trade rumors with memories of Michael Jordan
David Brown at Big League Stew18 hrs agoLAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. — Chris Sale is no Michael Jordan, says Chicago White Sox owner Jerry Reinsdorf. But don't put too much into a rumor that Sale might be traded by the White Sox here at baseball's winter meetings or later in the offseason.
Ken Rosenthal of Fox Sports said other teams are "pushing" the White Sox to discuss Sale, an All-Star the past two seasons who finished fifth in Cy Young voting after posting a 3.07 ERA and 226 strikeouts in 214 innings in 2013.
A few minutes after the announcement Monday morning that Tony La Russa, Joe Torre and Bobby Cox had been elected to baseball's Hall of Fame, Reinsdorf — who gave La Russa his start in the major leagues in 1979 — was cornered about the Sale talk.
"I just heard that rumor. I only had one player in my 33 years of sports that couldn't be traded. He wore No. 23 — and 45 when he played baseball," Reinsdorf said, referring to Jordan, who famously played for Reinsdorf's Chicago Bulls in the NBA and Chicago White Sox in the minor leagues.
Roy Halladay retires after signing one-day contract with Toronto Blue Jays
David Brown at Big League Stew20 hrs agoLAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. — Roy Halladay said he wanted to retire with two teams, the Toronto Blue Jays and the Philadelphia Phillies.
"I don't think that's possible," Halladay said with disappointment Monday at the winter meetings.
Toronto, where Halladay got his start in professional baseball, it is.
A two-time Cy Young winner who pitched a perfect game and a postseason no-hitter for the Phillies in 2010, announced he is retiring after signing a one-day contract with Toronto. Halladay went 203-105 with a 3.38 ERA, 2,117 strikeouts, 67 complete games and 20 shutouts for the Phillies and Jays.
His chances for the Hall of Fame probably should be described as "possible," if not likely. He used the dais at Disney World to reminisce about a fabulous career that ended because of injuries. Halladay said he has two pars fractures, plus an eroded disk between the L‑4 and L‑5 vertebrates. His shoulder bothered him because he tried to compensate for his back hurting. His voice cracked from time to time as he went over the past.

Your recent welfare editorials have missed completely both the substance and reason for some federal food stamp proposals while wrongly attributing faux reform initiatives to the states. This comes from your Indiana Policy Review Charles Murray-type welfare "experts" along with your own narrow right wing editorial dependency.
In light of the loss of Indiana's case against IBM and the substantial arrogance uncovered by the trial, you typically ignore history, don't do your homework but more importantly, you and other policy makers ignore those of us who now can keep saying "we told you so," except we'd get fired if we said it before we retired, especially those currently enslaved by the private contractors who engineered the ongoing mess and now are playing the same "centralization" route with our abused and neglected children, abandoning local control and expertise.\
Food stamp abuses have their origin in three places: fraud, where it is the currency of the underground for drugs and smokes and booze; poor in need of cash for rent, utilities or medicine because of less-than-poverty-level benefits (Indiana cash is $229 per month for one parent and one dependent child, set in 1969 and then reduced to this level in 1973); and, finally, and least, trading for toilet paper and soap. Unreported income is the most common other fraud issue, often due to ignorance by clients of the generous work incentives in our welfare programs for working poor if they would simply report employment.
However, absolutely none of this is possible without conspiring private business cooperation and often illicit profit, drug cartels and lax government oversight. Additionally, with electronic card issuance, identity is never verified and even substantial out-of-state usage is not tracked except by accident. Card and benefit trafficking is almost never discovered, let alone prosecuted. State "crackdowns" are voter pandering often by welfare-hating Republican lawmakers who don't go near those smelly poor people. Social service workers are equally ignored as self-serving government workers, or even worse, union hacks. We rarely prosecute business.
Federal waivers are a symptom of failed state systems and a hopeless economy. Welfare work programs were gutted early in the reform bills under Clinton, then Bush, and the conservative state-based block grant systems that became largely corporate welfare systems. Indiana abandoned state worker job search about the same time they privatized welfare but did it quietly.
In 2005, Carl Moldthan recommended changes based on visits to workers in all 92 counties. These would have cost some millions, mostly new computers. No privatization was recommended. Most of the system hardware by IBM fixed much of the problem, but the multiple contract competitive mess that ensued is based in Daniel's and Roob's hubris and complete abandonment of oversight that now is also infecting the Department of Child Services. IBM was never the problem. Ongoing change/call centers and document failures remain the core of the problem — all possible with the oversight abandonment.
No Republican governor will ever fix this. Sick needy people get sicker, kids go hungry, good workers find no jobs and now abused and neglected kids will be truly food for the dogs. The statutory DCS oversight committee has not even been formed.

Blogging for me is purely enjoyment. I love writing, finding connection between others, and graphics and photography. For me, it combines all the aspects of a professional life that I would love in my dream job...second to being a stay-at-home, homeschooling mom, that is.
I do however keep my eye and ear open for possibly monetizing more in the future, dependent on my own career path as the kids get older, my own interests, and whether or not my audience grows to a point where that makes sense.
It is hobby that has slowly but surely turned into a part time job. I love what I do and hope I can find time to put more into it-so that it can grow.
Blogging is my mental sanity! I love to write and have information to share so I figured why not blog? I would love for it to become a job someday (actually get paid for doing something I love). Right now i'm just helping to make life easier for a few parents out there who learn anything from my posts.
Blogging has also been a form of maintaining adult contact and conversation. I'm at home with my 2 year old twins as a stay at home mom and blogging helps me give my brain a work out so that i'm not only thinking about who hasn't pooped today. I really don't want to revert to primitive language so that I start thinking "mommy no want to go store".
Life has drastically changed since mother-hoood and twindom. It's been quite the adjustment going from working as an RN to staying at home with twins.
As I type this my little ones have decided they both need to be in my lap. Of course, neither wants to share this lap. I guess that ends my time here. Maybe I can return during nap time....

I am a teacher and I thought blogging would be a great summer job, but school's not out and I have discovered how time-consuming it can be! Right now I feel rushed and don't have the time to really enjoy all of the great blogs out there. My main objective right now is to build a following and get some advertisers so this summer I can really focus on adding rich and relevant content to my blog. http://www.frugalteacher.com
