Cherington hopes less medical controversy for SoxFebruary 17,2013THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
FORT MYERS, Fla. Boston Red Sox general manager Ben Cherington hopes a reorganized medical staff leads to less controversy about injuries.
Former closer Jonathan Papelbon, who left after the 2011 season, told ESPNBoston.com last weekend that he and several of his former teammates were regularly injected with the legal painkiller Toradol, an anti-inflammatory drug that is not banned by Major League Baseball. Papelbon singled out Mike Reinold, Bostons former head physical therapist.
Its been really a two-year process of reorganizing the medical staff, Cherington said Saturday.If things are going well in that area, were not talking about it nearly as much as we have, and youre not hearing from them. Youre not hearing from the medical staff nearly as much as we have. So thats our hope going forward, that were hearing from the guys in uniform a lot more and the guys in the training room less.
Twenty-seven Boston players spent time on the disabled list in 34 stints last year, the most by any team since at least 1987, according to STATS LLC.
Reinold was let go by the Red Sox after last season. Dr. Thomas Gill, the Red Sox medical director for seven seasons, departed after 2011 in the reorganization and Dr. Peter Asnis was promoted head team orthopedist after being with the club a team physician since 2005.
Boston had considered retaining Reinold as a consultant.
Theres no current agreement, Cherington said. Its something we had talked about, and well see if it makes sense.
After a 7-20 finish in September 2011 cost Boston a playoff berth, the Red Sox went 69-93 last year for their most losses since 1965 and finished last in the AL East for the first time since 1992.
Cherington didnt want to react to sometimes critical comments by Carl Crawford and Adrian Gonzalez, traded by the Red Sox to the Dodgers last summer as part of the deal that also sent Josh Beckett and Nick Punto to Los Angeles.
Certainly some of those guys have done a lot for the Red Sox over long period of time, Cherington said. And at the time, we said we wish them well. We still wish them well. Again, were focused on the guys we have here now and we wish them well other than when we play them this year.

The New Year is coming, along with all that potential for a fresh start in the form of resolutions. It doesn't need to be difficult to make changes. All we need to do is start small and decide on what can add positives to our life.
Consider asking your doctor what you can do in the New Year to increase your level of health. The answer might be rather simple, such as, "Get some 3-pound hand weights and strengthen your arms and wrists." Or, "Add one fruit to your diet each day. Canned is OK." How easy that would be.
Vow to stay in better touch with friends. Make a list of people who've started to drift away from lack of contact and make a call or send a letter to each one. Stay in touch with them every month.
Learn a new skill. The senior center or recreation department will have classes of all kinds. Pick one, but give it some thought. Choose something you can stick with. Does it have a writing class? A beginning drawing class? Photography? How about teaching a class and passing along a skill you have?
Do something for others on a regular basis. Schedule two or three days a month when you'll shelve books at the library, socialize dogs at the animal shelter to give them a better chance of being adopted, answer phones at the food bank or anything else you think is meaningful.
Here's one suggestion with a tangible benefit: Pick one coin denomination, whether it's a nickel, dime or quarter, and save it in a jar every time you get one in change. Save the coins all year and reward yourself next December.

When banding together is voluntary, people are joining up with others because they want to do the content with others. This is radically different from when people are banding together because other avenues to achieve a particular goal are too difficult or non-existent. In such a scenario, people are joining up with others because they want the reward of the content (loot, xp, rep, etc). In the first scenario, the person's goal and interest is the group unit. In the second scenario, the person's goal and interest is the reward, with the group unit simply being a means to that end.

A mission runner doesn't have to be tethered to a group to have their missions return cash to the corp coffers. A miner doesn't have to be in a group to contribute ore to the corps manufacturing efforts. A lot of the EVE gameplay is centered around collaborative efforts that allow players to complete tasks alone or together to further the group's ends. We also see a lot of that in EQ2 with the way player actions, alone or in a group, can contribute to the overall guild's goals. One step further and we have GW2, where completing goals with fellow guild members increases the returns for the guild unit, incentivizing (not forcing) the players within the guild to band together when doing activities in the game.

You can't force people to be social, period. No amount of forcing people to group together will force people to be social. I will use GW1 as an example. When the game forst came out, there were henchman you could use but the build they had were not that great and it forced people to play together - not really social at all but, people did end up being more social and this was how many of the guilds were formed in the game. When the 3rd chapter, Nightfall came out, Heros were introduced (which had builds you provide for them) this totally took out grouping because you could use all heros/henchman and get through. Yes, your guild still could make it social but you ended up meeting less people.
My 2nd example is Rift, if you want end game armor, you have to do 20 man dungeons, and this forced people to group. There was no social interaction at all - use this build with this equipment and listen for orders. I was social with some of my guild members but most did not want to do that at all.
People are solo-oriented. Games can force you to group, it doesn't mean people want to be social.

Interesting post.
This problem is really a result of several deeper design flaws that are so widespread that no one even notices them anymore.
Look at the way character progression works in 90% of MMOs. Rewarding people who level in groups seems like a good way to encourage community, but it really only works in newer games. In more seasoned games, the majority of players are going to be clustered toward the top of the levelling curve. This leaves newer players/characters with limited options for grouping. I remember when I decided to switch realms (i.e. factions) in DAoC. The game was still pretty healthy at that time, but the newbie area was a ghost town.
GW2 tried to address this by scaling player levels to the zone they're in. The execution could use tweaking (high-level gear still makes the content trivial, for example), but I think it was a step in the right direction. Another approach would be flattening the power curve -- UO, for example, didn't have a problem with empty low-level zones because there wasn't a huge difference between newer and more advanced characters.
Another problem is the forms the groups themselves take. In most games, you need a tank and a healer for a group. This leads to a catch 22: No one can get a group because there aren't any tanks/healers, no one plays a tank/healer because they're bad solo, everyone solos because they can't get a group.
Multi-specs (in WoW and other games) are one way to address this, but in practice I'm not a fan. Until max level, you're going to spend most of your time with a different set of abilities than the those you'll use in a group. This means that most healers and tanks won't know what they're doing early on. And that leads to a problem that dual specs can't solve: healers and tanks will take the lion's share of abuse when things don't go perfectly. Besides solo-ability, this is probably the biggest reason why so few play these roles.
Personally, I'd prefer to see MMOs move beyond the trinity, and even beyond fixed groups. Most games penalize you for helping another player/group by assigning ownership of mobs. I like TSW's approach, where everyone who participated in a fight gets equal credit, even if there's no actual group. It's preferable, I think, to dumbing down the difficulty so that everything is soloable. I'm a fan of public quests as well. WAR, Rift and GW2 all have their own version and (in my opinion) it's the best thing about all three games.
Fixed group size is another trope that should be left behind. Look at WoW: each zone is intended for a solo player at a specific range of levels. If you group up, going beyond your approved zone level is still a death sentence. Even if you manage to survive, you still can't take quests or use the loot you get because everything is level-restricted. I think it would be more fun, for example, to create a 25-player raid made up of 15th level characters and go to a 30th level zone. Or stay in an on-level zone, and destroy it. Who cares if it's not the way the developer intended the game to be played? If people are playing together and having fun, everyone wins. Anyone else remember level 1 Hogger raids?

We live in a fantasy world, a world of illusion. The great task in life is to find reality.
Asheron's Call was one of the First Big 3 that got the ball started for the MMO genre and it supported and incintivized solo play just as much or more so then any current MMO. Food for thought.

I don't want to be egotistical, but for me, it is more about the level of competance, than anything else.
I do my best to 'learn my class', min/max and play at a high level, and it is annoying for me to group with people who aren't as... into the game as I am. For example, a healer who wasn't paying attention, or the guy running after the ore node, instead of helping fight, or the tank who doesn't watch for adds, or DPSers who don't realize it's better to all focus on the same target or thinks it is fun to out-aggro the tank, or that dip shit who broke a crowd control mob, ending in the group being wiped.
Not to mention the long drawn out time it usually takes to group. Back in my DAoC days, it would take a long time to form a proper roaming group. We would have 7 people waiting around for that certain class which was missing (usually a skald or a healer).
Most 'good' groups require the use of TS3 ( after all they wouldn't be using Mumble or Vent if they're good right? ), which is a little bit of a hassle.
Add to this the fact that I have 4 kids, so I could get called away at any moment to handle a situation at home.
So yeah, I usually end up soloing most of the time, unless I absolutely need a group.

Best approach! I should check out TSW. Now they just need to automatically randomize loot based on how much aggro each player generated (by damaging mob or healing its enemies, etc).

I'm only playing the role chosen for me. Who you supposed to be?
I have a love hate relationship with grouping. When I'm in a group. Its the most fun I have in an MMO. My issue is the mechanic itself is fustrating.
If you play a game after launch and the starter (and mid) zones are empty. How exactly am I supposed to group? The harsh reality is I either have to coordinate to play with someone else, or I have to sit and wait, or I have to skip the content all together. Speaking as a gamer who is married and has a full work schedule I only get 3 hours a night to play. I can tell you I do NOT feel like waiting for someone just to experience something.
I do like the LFG/LFR mechanic as it serves two purposes for me. One I can queue and continue one with whatever it is that I am doing and then take part in the group dungeon when it is ready. My experiences vary but for the most part it is amicable\friendly. I DO care about the people I group with. Even though I dont know them I dont want them to die and have many times given up my loot from rolls if it worked better for someone else. I dont understand the point of being mean or selfish in those instances but I chalk it up to immaturity.
Second purpose is it allows me to see the content (which is what I am most interested in). Its fustrating that I can't complete a quest line or see specific content because I am unable to find a group when Im ready to run the instance. I do like the idea of having different versions of the instances so solo people can run them at a higher difficulty but at least a means to complete.
I understand the "MMOs are social and you should group" argument, but no one really is speaking to how that mechanic is supposed to work across all different play and lifestyles. Until the mechanic changes solo'ing will always remain a viable alternative.

Problem is simple...
A select few (sadly very small compared to the other group) want to "force" grouping on people... Ok... But this same group also does NOT want Looking for Group / Group Finder tools... So basically they're saying they want to force people to group, not have any useful tools to help them find groups, and expect everyone to have friends or guilds lined up and waiting...
Guild Wars 2 and WoW have the two systems that are needed for modern MMO's and Grouping...
GW2 = Automatic grouping at all times... Allowing people to do more difficult content automatically if in the same area. No fighting over spawns, no spamming eachother for groups...
WoW = Solid and functional group finder that allows you to run around questing, crafting, or whatever while waiting for a group to be formed.
SWTOR was an epic failure for group content because to had NO way to find a group outside of spamming LOCAL channels. This means you not only had to spam chat, but you had to do it while sitting in a specific zone.
Many other games that did not release with a group finder tool suffer from the same problem. Plus, by the time these games added the feature (LOTRO is a great example)... No one uses it. New players join LOTRO, play for 20-30 levels solo, fire up the group finder tool in hopes of experiencing some group content, only to find hours have passed and no groups still.
Simply put, you can't force or require grouping (and expect the majority of players to enjoy it) if you don't provide a system that makes it easy.

If those games roll loot per player instead of per mob, I think that's pretty awesome too! Never knew that! So long as not too much loot is given out.
Re: the grouping issues, I think a lot of it can be solved by slowing down the pace at which players level. It's gotten out of hand.

No, no they don't. Everyone in a game groups voluntarily, nobody is holding a gun to their head and making them join a group. That's why games like WoW came up with their LFG system, to allow people who wanted to group, specifically into PUGs, to do so more quickly and efficiently because people were complaining that it was too difficult and took too long. The majority of groups going on in any game at any given time are PUGs, groups put together specifically to do certain content and then go their separate ways. What you describe, where people form groups which will stay together for days or weeks on end, are extremely rare.
Which is everyone. All you're saying is that a minuscule number of people are doing it "right" in your opinion, as opposed to the massive majority of everyone else, who actually keep the game afloat, who you think are doing it "wrong". The vast majority of people who are going to have any kind of grouping experience in these games is going ot have it in PUGs because that's what the vast majority of people in these games play in.
Yet someone brought up end-game and the fact that much of end-game content is group-based. So what? The assertion was that people who have played solo have to learn how to play in a group. No we don't. In fact, a lot of us refuse to do so for the same reason we refused to play in groups the whole time we were leveling. People in groups generally suck and they don't get any better after level-cap.
Why do you insist on taking everything as an attack?

What is it about Sandbox that players feel is so vastly different than what they feel is the more" linear or hand holding" MMORPG?
A lot of players compare the sandbox open world mmo they are looking for to The Elder Scrolls and as such I'm currently trying my hand at Oblivion, Skyrim and (non TES) Two worlds two to see why. Aside from the classless, build your own class via skill point system, and being able to go anywhere, (unless a specific key is required to unlock something, which generally requires completion of a quest), you still have your fetch and deliver quests, you still have your kill X of this quests, (will explain below), you still have your collect trophies from mobs type quests, you still have your quest hubs, and as far as I can tell you still have your 'forced' completion of quests to advance the main storyline.
Classless-Build your Own:
I enjoy the "more you use it the better you are at it" approach found in the TES titles to advance your skills, it doesn't really work that way in Two Worlds two, it's more of a point buy system but still a decent approach. So I'll give sandbox/open world the nod over basic classes... But you have to admit that they still incorporate regular levels (both Oblivion and Skryim do as does Two Worlds 2) and even if they didn't the fact that skills increase in point or percentage increments is still a form of leveling, so you can toss your no levels in open world/sandbox out the window because it will always exist in one form or another.
Go Anywhere, any time you want:
I've not finished any of these titles but I'm pretty sure that in all three games that I'm trying that I've run into areas I can't access without the appropriate key, or quest driven/story advancement. (Skryim and Two Worlds Two for sure I've run into areas I can't access till later and I'm pretty sure I've found the same to be true in Oblivion) Now maybe the limitations are few and far between, but it still disproves the notion that you can go anywhere at any time you want.
Fetch and Deliver:
I've had plenty of these in all three titles I've found, from finding a claw and bringing it back in Skryim, a book in Oblivion, Medications in Two Worlds 2, this is just a regular part of questing. (And really what types of quests aside from gather, deliver, or kill can you have in a game?)
Kill X:
Now this is generally more disguised by the developer in the quest objectives, but if you are sent anywhere by a quest giver, to exact revenge, etc. You generally have to elminate every enemy in the outpost, fort, cave, etc to complete the objective. And whether it be 5, 10, 15, 20 or 30, I've found there's a set number of enemies to be killed. They may not tell you how many in the quest log, but the fact remains that they are numbered. And if you don't complete it right away, the ones you have killed do not respawn, keeping it at that numbered quantity of required kills to complete the objective....
Collect Trophies from Mobs:
I've seen this to a lesser extent than the standard MMORPG but quest givers will require animal parts/trophies in both Skryim and Two Worlds two. I can't recall whether I've had any in Oblivion yet, but I think I have.... It's just standard quest fare, as mentioned above what can you really expect in quest innovation?
Advancing the main story:
I've found in all three titles that in order to advance the games story, and progress toward 'end game' if you will, that you still have to go here or there and talk to him or her, in order for the story to advance...
Granted in all of these things, you can do them on your own time schedule, but the fact remains they exist in a similar form in the themepark MMO's.
So, I'll ask again, what makes a sandbox MMO THAT much different from a themepark MMO?

It's a different approach to both how the game is played and how the development continues.
To start, themepark features are scripted content, whereas sandbox features are toys and tools. Developers create sandbox content with the intent of seeing how the players use it and building up that content or additional content based on how it is used. Themepark content is designed to be used a specific way, and it is done so to maximize the experience when one plays through the content.
Housing is a great example of content that differs greatly depending on the approach taken.
In some MMOs, the player owned structure is simply a variation on the quest hub system. Players do quests or reach milestones to obtain or unlock items for their houses. In that scenario, the focus of further development is solely more quests, unlocks and store items to facilitate the use of that hub. In other MMOs, the player owned structure is usually part of a player owned area, and its functionality is dependent on how the player looks to use it. UO, EVE and Free Realms are examples of this. The players tailor what they build and how they build it to accommodate their social, combat and utility needs or interests. In each of those games, the devs watched how players chose to use the content and built further functionailty to support how the players chose to use it.
Trade hubs are another example. In themepark-focused games, the trade hub is what the developers decided it will be, and any efforts to establish any other location would be directly working against the system to do so. Even then, it is extremely unlikely the devs will change the location because the game is designed around trade hub being at location X. In sandbox-focused games, at any given point, the trade hub is where the players chose the trade hub to be. In UO, it was Trinsic and Britannia for the longest time, then shifting to Luna when the players found that a more effective trade hub to play/adventure/sell from. In EVE, the players had sevreal trade hubs they started forming, then gravitated heavily toward Yulai. As changes in travel routes came about,players shifted that to Jita. Someday they'll more than likely move again. The game is designed to allow players to make that choice and let's them define what will be the meeting place.
To be clear, I am not saying that either system is better than the other. They are two different apporaches to development. Vastly different.
"you still have your fetch and deliver quests, you still have your kill X of this quests, (will explain below), you still have your collect trophies from mobs type quests, you still have your quest hubs, and as far as I can tell you still have your 'forced' completion of quests to advance the main storyline."
You just describes the themepark content that may or may not be in a sandbox-focused game. You have no main storyline to advance in ATITD, UO, EVE or Free Realms. In some of those, you don't even have quests.
There isn't a "right" or "wrong" way to play, if you want to use a screwdriver to put nails into wood, have at it, simply don't complain when the guy next to you with the hammer is doing it much better and easier. - Allein
The thing to me is game company isn't the most creative bunch and need to "copy" some model.
When you have an "abstract" idea called sandbox, they don't know what to copy. I mean there's a mech warrior version of Eve that other game company replica. That is the kind of things game company need.
Another thing is as good as those "old timer" games are UO, SWG, people stop playing them(or failed to deliver good enough patch to sustain people). If those games sustain more people more game company will probably try to replica it.

One thing that is for certain (according to people on these forums): Developers are lazy, greedy, talentless, can't think for themselves morons who could care less about games or their playerbase. They can't keep their mind off of WoW and the greatness of WoW. They make their decisions bgased only on the success of WoW and/or how much cash thay can grab from the eager public. They are a souless bunch who will spend all of eternity burning in Hell.

Actually pretty easy answer. Cookie Cutter games make more money. Until a good (as deemed by the masses, not hardcore sandboxers) one comes out and proves profitable, they won't make them.
Concentrate on enjoying yourself, and not on why I shouldn't enjoy myself.

As many have sead EVE is a AAA sandbox game.
I started playing EVE in late beta first then from release to 2007 then after that sporadic logins.
EVE back in 2003 were broke pretty unplayable if EVE has lauched today in the same way It would have died out within months.
But EVE grew over the years and turned into IMO a AAA sandbox MMO.
So if you don't have a problem with space games I suggest you try it out, and don't listen to people who says you need a spreadsheet to be able to play, I have never used it and still play the market to earn billions of isk, It was needed for my ship losses in 0.0 on my main.
But you do need time, you won't get anywhere with 1hour login here and 30min login there.
If it's not broken, you are not innovating.

Nonsense. Former triple A MMO's like SWG, AC 1 had excellent retention and good sub. numbers for pre-WoW era. But you do have a point. Sandbox MMOs are not as profitable because it takes more development effort to make a proper sandbox MMO and the initial box sales is less (but retention higher).
So in the current era of quick, short time profit, ThemeParks dominate the triple A MMO market. Their revenue is not all that different from single player games, with the added bonus of sub. fees and then future F2P conversion to squeeze the last cent out of it.
MMO's are big bussiness now, which means creating a good solid game with longetivity is secondary to high profit.

This thread is pointless. It's obvious what happened, developers saw what was popular, followed in step and produced similar games. People buy into it, developers make their money further more proving (in numbers and profit) that what they developed is successful (business wise, short term).
Whatever, it is changing. There will be a lot of interesting games coming out within the next 3 years with stuff we are asking for now..it takes time to create a game and world of this magnitude.

Time have changed, before you only have a few mmorpg to choose from, there are just so many more competition now.
That being said there is a Eve clone. Just show game studio do copy what works. Game studio need something to copy period.
If just 1 game company can show how to produce a sandbox game "that works", I'm sure other will follow and copy.

I think it is pretty clear that the current crap they sell as MMOG's is not doing better at all. The only long running MMOG's are either Sandbox like EvE, UO or Classics like FFXI, DAoC or Everquest.
The one and only Themepark that survived is WoW and no one really knows why, since its as bad as the rest of the crap it spawned.
^ ya I mean when you say only thing profitable is sandbox games like EvE, UO, you might want to tell me what other sandbox games you think is doing that well.
And I think UO only had like 200k players or something. When those themepark game get down from millions to 200k players people start calling them a failure and you call UO a success.
And when company is pumping out themepark games like no tomorrow, you can understand why they arn't doing so well. That probably explains why only those classic games are consider successful. Because they got no competition. While nowaday there are so many.
I think the mmorpg market is never that big to sustain that many games. The most profitable mmropg in recent history beside wow have all been asian games. Not that those asian games are any great, but when the asian market is that much bigger than western market they can sustain more games.

Dear OP,
I think you have played a sandbox or two in the past, and then there is no going back to themeparks.
The restrictions. linearity, the cookiecutting, the predictability, the feeling of being dragged on a leash are al too famiiar.
But its an easy concept and draws alot of casual players.
Now, im a former swg player and miss the sandbox to the extent that i have stopped playing MMO´s and im currenty trying out Second Life (!). Now, thats a sandbox for ya, but it doesnt have any game systems.
The Repopulation is probably our only hope at this time.

If a game like UO or FFXI runs for 10 years with an average of 500k players and $15 subscription they make $900 million on subscriptions alone, not counting the multitude of expaninson sales and the original box sales.
That my friend is the difference of success and failure.

I'm using Firefox 12.0 ├¤, but this problem may also occur with IE (according to a Mozilla Support thread, referred to below).
Out of interest, I downloaded and installed Google Books Downloader, having seen a reference to it in a blog post (Codeplex daily summary - http://www.codeplex.com/) in my feed aggregator.
The download site is/was: https://googlebookdownloa...x.com/releases/view/84266
The proggie did what it claimed to do - copied previews of books to .PDF - which unfortunately wasn't of much use as you are still frustrated by Google's removing pages from all previews.
Then I noticed that my home page and also my default Google search page had been hijacked by a search page which was imitating Google, with a pretty seascape background (see copy in spoiler):
The ruddy thing wouldn't go away.
So, I de-installed Google Books Downloader and googled the problem, coming up with a useful Mozilla Support thread at https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/850780
The hijack is persistent and comes from the website 'arccosine.com' and wants you to "sign up" for something.
I did a 'Whois' on arccosine.com, and it is hosted in the Russian Federation. (That figures.)
I deleted all references to "arccosine" (i.e., 2x "C"s) and "arcosine" in history, just in case.
I checked in the 'about:config' entry for 'keyword.URL' and reset that back to "Default" - it had been set to 'arccosine.com,q=' by the hijack proggie Google Books Downloader (in the discussion thread someone writes that if you examine the proggie's code, you can see where it does that).
Hope this helps someone to avoid the thing.

Warrant issued for home invasion suspectStaff Report | February 07,2013A $75,000 arrest warrant has been issued for a man sought as a suspect in a reported home invasion in Rutland.
Rutland Police have been seeking Calvin B. Alexander, a 30-year-old Rutland man identified by witnesses as the man who kicked in the door at 110 Maple St., since the incident on Saturday.
Now, Rutland criminal court Judge Theresa DiMauro has issued a warrant for Alexander who police say also uses the aliases "Kevin Cross" and "Drama."
Christopher L. Orkins, 34, of Rutland, pleaded innocent Monday to aiding in the commission of a felony.
DiMauro issued the warrant for Alexander's arrest on Wednesday when he failed to appear in court to answer to felony charges of burglary in an occupied dwelling and aiding in the commission of a felony.
Witnesses at the Maple Street home told police Alexander kicked in their door and was followed in by at least three other men who discharged pepper spray into the living room.MORE IN This Just InThe family of a Connecticut man who was killed in a car accident on Route 4 last Friday night is...

People keep asking Joe Berti if he's unlucky.
A bomb exploded at the finish line of the Boston Marathon seconds after Berti finished the race. Two days later, he was in his home state of Texas when he saw a fertilizer plant explode near Waco.
But the Texas resident says he's far from unlucky -- instead, he's quite fortunate. Not only did he leave both explosions unscathed, but his wife, who was closer to the bombings in Boston than he was, was also unhurt.
Berti and his wife, Amy, agree that being witness to two catastrophes in a 48-hour period is a little crazy. And they are praying for those whose lives were changed forever by the tragedies.

How much music can you cram into the music section of The Bulletin's GO! Magazine? Approximately this much:
"The Miles Davis Experience: 1949-1959″ is a multimedia tribute to the jazz icon coming to the Tower Theatre.
The Felice Brothers could've hopped on the "new Americana" gravy train and they chose not to. Instead, their new album "Celebration, Florida" is a murky, weird and wonderful slab of electro/pop/rock.
The Green headlines a reggae bill at the Domino Room Monday that also includes Giant Panda Guerilla Dub Squad.
Also in the music section: King Yellowman returns to town, the Tower of Power show is sold out, guitar hero Scott Pemberton plays Silver Moon, a cappella groups On the Rocks and Divisi will perform to benefit Sisters schools, Celtic folkie Colleen Raney kicks off the new HarmonyHouse season, a Tumalo house concert will benefit the High & Dry Bluegrass Festival, and Innovation Theatre features an eclectic weekend, with Violin vs. Vinyl and Jay Tablet tonight, 2Mex and a hip-hop bill Saturday and 2nd Hand Soldiers playing a benefit for a local guy with cancer on Sunday. Oh, plus we have blurbs on Stephanie Schneiderman, Just People and Viva Le Vox!

Breakfast is my favorite meal of the day, and often times, it's the meal that I eat the most at. I try to eat a larger breakfast and taper down the portion sizes as the day goes on. I have found this not only helps maintain my energy level and blood sugar level, but also my weight.
You should always make the time to whip up breakfast in the morning. It's not as time-consuming as people might think. No excuses – start your day off right with a healthy, gluten-free breakfast.
Here are some ideas to get you started …
A Roundup of 10 Gluten-Free Breakfast Ideas
1) Toast with sunflower seed spread and sprinkled with Spectrum Naturals Decadent Coco-Chia-Flax Mix (found at Whole Foods, Sprouts), served with fruit (pictured above, great snack also)!
2) Banana Silver Dollar Coconut Pancakes from The Spunky Coconut ~ Loving these grain-free pancakes, highlighting banana and coconut!
3) Fresh Berry and Basil Crumble from The Healthy Apple ~ A refreshing take on a regular baked crumble. This recipe features tons of fresh fruit!
4) 1 Minute Blueberry Citrus Shake from Family Fresh Cooking ~ A super easy morning or afternoon shake, made with simple ingredients.
5) Apple Cinnamon Baked Oatmeal from Family Fresh Cooking ~ Use gluten-free oats with this recipe, super flavorful!
6) Peanut Butter Banana Quinoa Granola from Queen of Quinoa ~ A unique take on regular granola, this one is packed with nutrients!
7) Melted Leek and Red Pepper Quiche from Simply Sugar and Gluten-Free ~ I love quiches of any kind! They are great for breakfast, lunch or dinner!
8) Kale, Sausage and Quinoa Scramble from With Style and Grace ~ You had me at Kale … (I'm a huge kale fan).
9) Paleo Breakfast Bars from Elana's Pantry ~ Perfect for a snack on the go!
10) Gluten-Free Buckwheat Crepes from The Gluten-Free Girl and Chef ~ Buckwheat is such a wonderful gluten-free ingredient and it works great in this crepe recipe.

Missouri Secretary of State Jason Kander Helps Investors Talk the Talk about Savings and Investing
Conversation Starters Program Spotlighted During America Saves Week
Jefferson City, MO In observance of America Saves Week 2013 (February 25 to March 2), Secretary of State Jason Kander is helping Missouri investors "talk the talk" about their personal finances.
The more families talk about their finances, the better they will be in the long run, Kander said. "Information is the best defense against losing hard-earned savings to investment fraud."
To help people begin discussions about financial matters, Kander is making available a series of "Conversation Starters," developed by the North American Securities Administration (NASAA) and available on NASAAs website at www.nasaa.org.
"These conversation starters are a series of open-ended questions designed to help families kick-start an ongoing dialogue about budgeting, saving, investing and avoiding scams and frauds," Kander said. "Whether you are just starting out as a newlywed or entering retirement, there are questions to get you and your loved ones talking about the often difficult issue of money."
The Missouri Securities Division can provide detailed information about an investment product, broker or adviser. This information is easy to obtain and more extensive than information from other sources. Visit MissouriSafeSavings.com to learn how the division can help you.
The Missouri Securities Division also recommends these investment fraud prevention tips:
- Investigate before you invest. Use the Missouri Investor Hotline to check the registration and license of potential investments and investment advisors.
- If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
- Take your time. Dont give in to high-pressure sales tactics.
- If youve been a victim of fraud, contact us.

Greetings from Jakarta!
Very apologetic, we do not have airport transfer service.
From the Soekarno-Hatta International Airport in Jakarta, take a cab (try to find Blue Bird taxi); tell the driver Jalan Salemba Tengah, which is located in the Salemba area across the School of Medicine of the University of Indonesia.
The fare - based on meter - will cost about IDR100k-150k, with driving time of about 40-50 minutes. You will need to pay a surcharge to the cab driver; and toll-road tickets.
If need to stick rigidly to a budget, there is bus service at the Soekarno-Hatta International Airport. Take the DAMRI Bus, direction Gambir Train Stationl fare is IDR40k one way per passenger. It takes about 40-50 minutes from the airport to the Gambir Train Station, depending on the traffic.
Then from the Station, take a cab (try to find Blue Bird taxi), and it will take approximately 15 minutes to Jalan Salemba Tengah; fare is about IDR25k-30k based on meter.
There are also tuk-tuks (locally called bajaj); fare is about IDR25k (you should bargain). Tell the driver to go to Jalan Salemba Tengah, the street which is located across the Medicine School of the University of Indonesia.
When entering Jalan (Street) Salemba Tengah, which is before 7-Eleven on a corner, check the house number 7 (seven) and it's not far from the main road.
It is located on the left side, across Bank Mandiri ATM, and next to the Kodak e-Studio. There's a black gate and small, nice garden in front. Take the left path to the guest house.

Hi, I had severe PE with my son, my first pregnancy, May 2005. I am 6 wks preg now and my husband is scared to death. It wasn't planned and now he is scared to lose me. I tell him that I am brave enough to carry this through. He doesn't want to risk losing me and going through everything we went through the first time. During my emergency c-section, he was made to leave the operating room. I went into surgery with 162/122 BP and as soon as they delivered my son, my BP dropped to 60/30. I was dying and he was told to step out. I can't even imagine had the tables been turned. First he watched our son be rushed down to the NICU and then his wife almost dies. I completely understand his reason for wanting me to abort this time around, but I don't think I can go through with it. I was actually at the clinic a week ago to terminate, but it was too early. They said to come back in a couple weeks. First of all, it was a traumatic experience for both me & my husband, but now I wonder what God is trying to tell me. I'm so messed up from all of this and just wanted to see what any of you other husbands would tell him etc.
I don't want to ruin our marriage by risking everything that he values. I'm not sure how he'd handle it if I were to go through with the pregnancy and develop PE once again. I know I can't expect him to agree and be happy right away. He admitted that under any other circumstances he's be exstatic about maybe having a girl this time. He's just so scared. Help please.

Managing Director
Even after some thirty years in project management, I found much of value in this book and time after time found I was saying to myself "That's neat!". Give this book to any one in your team that you have appointed as a project manager but do read it first, as you will find yourself being asked some difficult questions within a very short time.
Jennifer Cannon said:
SticckyMinds.com Review
I highly recommend this book to all project managers, from novices to those with more experience. This is an incredible resource that should be referred to frequently for advice on how to help you decide which project management practice or technique is appropriate for your project—which she helps you to apply immediately.
—Nicola Pedot
Concrete and useful. In this book there are things you may learn from university and from your job after years of experience. Take this book and a shortcut.

Mindy McCready, Country Singer, Dead at 37
Senta Scarborough and Bruna Nessif, eonline
Seconds ago
It's been a difficult month for Mindy McCready, and unfortunately, E! News has learned that the country singer's life has come to end far too soon.
A source close to the 37-year-old tells us her body was found in Heber Springs, Ark.
A source tells E! News that Mindy's father, Tim McCready had been staying with her until this morning when he returned to Florida. When her father left, "she was in good spirits and seemed to be fine," our source tells us.
Neighbors heard gunshots at her house and called the police. "She shot herself and the dog," our source says

E-Learning at Western
Effective Winter Intersession 2015:
ALL courses will be available in Blackboard Learn, regardless if Faculty are planning on using the learning management system or not. Faculty no longer will have to request their section(s) to be created in Blackboard Learn each semester. If you have sections that you want to combine please use the online merge request form. No need to request cross-listed sections. Please be patient as we transition to this new format, and keep in mind that courses are under construction at this time and are subject to change. Report any questions or concerns to firstname.lastname@example.com.
Have you ever heard of E-Learning or want to know what Blackboard Learn is all about? Would you like to incorporate videos and other media into your online or on-ground courses? Or learn how to engage the students more? Did you know that Blackboard Learn can be used in other collaborative ways other than in the classroom – for clubs, organizations, committees, training, etc.? If you would like more information or answers to these questions, please continue to read further.
Blackboard Usage:
- Western currently uses Blackboard Learn 9.1 as its E-Learning course management system. It's primary usage allows faculty to supplement their on-ground courses with online components, or to use for fully online courses. With a standard Web browser, students and instructors can login from anywhere in the world to access their class materials and interact with one another. Blackboard includes a virtual course environment built to support different teaching styles and learning needs, and is designed to provide the tools for faculty to prepare, deliver, and manage their courses.
- In addition, Blackboard can be used as an 'Organization' which is similar to a Blackboard course, but designed for use by non-academic community groups. Organizations provide a collection of web-based tools, making it easy for group members to participate in online activities.
Depending on what type of training method you prefer, Blackboard training can be conducted either in person, via online, or by self-paced tutorials and videos. Helpful resources include Blackboard Learn support from ConnSCU or support from Blackboard Learn Videos.
- If you would like to meet in person, please provide us with some days and times that you are available. You may also contact Instructional Technologists, Cheryl McCann at email@example.com or Tobi Krutt at email@example.com from the Board of Regents to arrange for training, or to be enrolled in a Blackboard Faculty Orientation course – which is an unmonitored, self-paced online resource course for instructors.
- You are also welcome to attend training at any of the other schools that you may live closer to listed on the following training calendar: https://calendar.ct.edu/.
Please let us know if you have any questions, or how we can further assist your technology needs by sending an email to firstname.lastname@example.com.

hidden political truths in America. On October 6, 1989,
Hersh was found innocent of libel against former Indian
prime minister Morarji Desai. "It's a terribly important
victory for any journalist," Hersh said after the verdict,
referring to the support of First Amendment rights.
Desai was suing Hersh for $3.5 million, contending he
was libeled in Hersh's 1983 best-selling book, The Price
of Power: Kissinger in the Nixon White House (1983).
Mr. Hersh is also the author of Chemical and Biological
Warfare: America's Hidden Arsenal (1969), My Lai 4: A Report on the Massacre and Its Aftermath (1970), and Cover-up (1972). Mr.
Hersh's most recent book is The Target Is Destroyed: What Really Happened to Flight 007 and What America Knew About It (1986), the
revealing account of KAL Flight 007 and its aftermath.
Seymour Hersh has taken on virtually every power
structure in the United States at one time or another.
His eye for conspiracy and corruption is as keen as they
Despite his achievements, Hersh is not terribly impressed with the influence of his medium. According to
Seymour Hersh, "The power doesn't lie with the press,
it lies with the people."

Athenaeum is pleased to present Shirley Metz, the first
woman to ski to the South Pole. After graduating from
the University of Hawaii, she worked for three years as
a professional scuba diver in shark research with the
University of Hawaii's oceanography department.
Upon moving to California, Ms. Metz became an owner

its wildlife. Later that year she went on a 750-mile,
two-month expedition to the South Pole, becoming the
first woman to reach the South Pole by overland travel.
She is also among the six first Americans to reach the
pole. On March 12, 1989, the Soviet Union awarded Ms.
Metz with the prestigious Polar Award, making her the
first woman in Soviet history to receive this distinction.

To The Editor:
I would like to respond to John Sherman's letter of last week, "Message lacking." I am happy that many individuals who take the time to make floats for the Warren Fourth of July parade think so deeply about the messages they wish to send. I, for one, found the entry by the individuals who held up a mirror to all of us as war criminals appropriately provocative. Bombs are being dropped from drones on innocent civilians in our name and with our tax monies, and sadly, to my mind, with the authority of President Obama. We all need to be aware of what is done in our name and with our tax dollars because, in a democracy, it is we the people who authorize those choices. What better time to remind ourselves of that fact than the day we celebrate our country's birth as a democracy, July 4.
