Transaction Analysis
April 14-16, 2003
Optioned RHP Bobby Howry to Pawtucket. [4/15]
Purchased the contract of RHP Jason Shiell from Pawtucket. [4/16]
Hand it to Theo Epstein, he's taking a page from history. In the time-honored fashion of Admiral Byng's execution, where somebody has to pay for a much larger failure, the Red Sox have shipped off Bobby Howry pour encourager les autres in the bullpen, in the words of Voltaire. Although bloody-mindedly meant to encourage the survivors, it was so inspiring that Ramiro Mendoza did nothing to suppress the notion that he's a pinstriped double-agent, hastily coughing up four runs and contributing to the continuing overwrought despair in Beantown. Much as I believe in my heart of hearts that it's easy to scare up on a workable bullpen on the fly, and much as I believe that finding usable relievers is just not rocket science, I'm inclined to prefer Howry. This isn't simply sympathy with the victim, since Howry did pitch badly. But does anyone really believe that Howry deserves to be singled out from among the many veterans who have blown goats in the early going--certainly Mendoza, Embree, and Chad Fox? Mike Timlin's mediocrity only looks neato by comparison to the relative debacles surrounding him, leaving only Brandon Lyon and a barely-used Steve Woodard left among the relative assets left in the pen in the early going.
In short, while I admire the Red Sox if they're choosing to adopt a philosophy of the general interchangeability of relief pitchers, whacking Howry only makes sense if the Sox have better options (and they don't), think having him work regularly in Pawtucket will help (which it should), and whether or not there's any likely difference between having him pitch regularly in Boston or Pawtucket (which there isn't). One of the downfalls to having a bullpen by committee and refusing to give everyone relatively even workloads--because everybody's sharing, honest--is that you're left with relievers getting judged on insanely small samples and unstructured workloads where it's hard to draw any conclusions. Howry got demoted after all of four games, after all. What are four games supposed to tell us about Bobby Howry, compared to his entire career? More than anything else, that the Red Sox are scared, and that they're hoping to frighten Howry's peers into better performance. So far, all it does is smack of a stunt, to show people that management is serious about this winning stuff.
Placed RHP Dave Veres on the 15-day DL (shoulder tendinitis), retroactive to 4/15; recalled RHP Alan Benes from Iowa. [4/16]
Savage as it may sound, the only loss involving Dave Veres is that of face, considering what they're paying him, why they brought him in, their failure to anticipate how he's no more special than a lot of the talent they already had on hand, and Kyle Farnsworth's unsurprising effectiveness in the wake of Don Baylor's unemployment. While Joe Borowski has stumbled into the role of getting the saves, Farnsworth has been in an asset (again), as he was when Oscar Acosta was shielding his charges from Baylor's wacky over-involvement. Now that Dusty's calling the shots, Farnsworth seems back on track, Juan Cruz appears to be okay in a well-defined middle relief role, and the Cubs seem to have the potential to escape management's fascination with the gray and costly.
In Veres's absence, they've hauled back Jim Hendry fave Alan Benes. I'm not a huge believer that Benes is ever going to come back and be something. In the last three years, he's been relatively healthy, and he's been a flop as a rotation regular in the PCL in the last two years. Going back to their Creighton days, Hendry might be fond of him, but he's an eleventh pitcher aspiring to job security as an eleventh pitcher. Appropriately enough, this is the only place he has even a remote chance of getting it.
Placed SS-R Barry Larkin on the 15-day DL (strained calf), retroactive to 4/11; activated INF-R Juan Castro from the 15-day DL. [4/14]
Harsh as it might sound, losing Larkin is nowhere near the calamity that losing Ken Griffey Jr. was. It might get added to a staccato-like litany of injuries as an explanation for why the Reds are in the basement, but it's a weak note. Larkin is not enjoying a Gwynn-like sunset, where, at the end of his playing days, if nothing else, at least he could still hit. Larkin looks done at the plate, and he stopped being a defensive asset at short years ago. So subtracting Larkin is one of those things that, beyond whatever intangible intangibles he brings to the dugout, is just not a major loss these days. It also helps that, instead of the likes of Reggie Taylor to replace Griffey, to replace Larkin the Reds get to run Felipe Lopez out there. Even if Lopez doesn't make any progress as a prospect this year, he'll hit at least as well as your average Alex Gonzalez-to-be-named-later, and unlike the A-Gonzes, Lopez has the ability to develop into a considerably better hitter than that. Given everyday play at the position he should own in Cincinnati for the next few years, you have to like the odds that he'll blossom. This may or may not be Jim Bowden's swan song (after all, that's been rumored for years), but nabbing Lopez for a brief investment in Elmer Dessens should wind up being one of the very good things to come out of this year.
Placed OF-R Jeffrey Hammonds on the 15-day DL (sprained ankle); activated OF-R Brady Clark from the 15-day DL. [4/15]
As one of the most predictably awful free agent signings of recent years, there is perhaps no better epitaph for Dean Taylor's uninspired, expensive stint as General Manager, or the brief, squalid reign of Wendy, than Hammonds assuming his natural position: disabled. In his absence, the Brewers will make do with a platoon of John Vander Wal and Brady Clark, which isn't really a bad thing; they're basically unaffected everywhere but in their sense of dignity and the image they project to their fans. After getting the home opener out of the way, they had poor attendance in their first home weekend, and I don't see any reason to expect much better in the weekend to come. Since the Brewers successfully stranded their ballpark in a parking lot with even less ambience than EuroDisney, deliberately trying to spoil the old atmosphere of County Stadium while avoiding anything resembling the neighborhoody post-modern elements the other new mallparks strive for, the only reason to go see the Brewers is to go see the Brewers. What parent would do that to his or her children?
Activated RHP Turk Wendell and OF-R Jason Michaels from the 15-day DL; optioned RHP Eric Junge to Scranton/Wilkes Barre. [4/14]
Placed LHP Hector Mercado on the 15-day DL (strained hamstring); recalled Junge from Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. [4/16]
In Marlon Byrd's absence, Jason Michaels gets to come up and be the token outfield reserve, because it's far more likely that Ricky Ledee is going to get 95% of the playing time in center than any other potential outcome. Similarly, the decision to haul Eric Junge back is basically a question of temporary expediency. Brandon Duckworth is going to be activated and start on Sunday, but in the meantime, Junge's available as a long reliever for use in any early blowouts, extra-inning marathons, or meaningless mop-up situations for a few extra days, effectively giving the Phillies an eight-man pen until Sunday. In other words, he'll be holding down the job Joe Roa's destined for once Duckworth resumes his spot in the rotation.
Since they still have Dan Plesac and Rheal Cormier, they've got a pair of lefties, and exchanging Wendell for Mercado doesn't affect the pen's balance too badly. By Monday, they'll have a seven-man pen again, two of them lefties. Among the the non-Mesa right-handers, Roa will be in the last-man role, Carlos Silva in the middle relief role, Terry Adams will be handling set-up work (he's been virtually reduced to situational work), and Wendell will get free innings where they're available. Overall, it's a nice pen to work with, even if Cormier continues to struggle. If there's a question, it's whether it would be better to keep Junge and ship out Roa. Much as I've always liked Roa, Junge's more talented and has a better future with the organization. However, Junge has options, and Roa's got last year's good work to his credit.
Purchased OF-R Ryan Christenson from Oklahoma; optioned 2B/OF-L Jermaine Clark to Oklahoma. [4/15]
Bringing up Christenson is a preliminary to placing Doug Glanville on the DL. It's probably a net gain for the Rangers. While Christenson is 29 and his career never quite worked out the way anyone might have hoped, he's still pretty fluid in center. Compared to Glanville, he's still got better command of the strike zone, and similar power. Barring any organizational flashbacks to Bobby Valentine's attempt to make Pete Incaviglia a center fielder, none of the other outfielders on the team can really play center in anything more than an emergency, which in turn means that this is about as clean a shot at re-establishing himself that Christenson is going to get. I suspect Glanville's paycheck will preserve some element of job security once he's ready to come back off of the DL, so for Christenson this isn't really a chance to stick with the Rangers--they've got a spare DH and a third catcher and a twelfth pitcher, so they hardly have room for a fourth outfielder on the active roster. But if he has a good gig, there are enough teams hard-up for a spare outfielder who can play center and put some runs on the board that he can hope to pick an even better one next winter.

TEL AVIV (Aug. 25)
A woman and two children were injured this afternoon when a bomb exploded in a garbage can in a crowded street in the center of Netanya. Like Israel's other beach resort cities, Netanya was crowded today as Israelis tried to find relief from the near 100 degree heat wave. Several Arabs were held for questioning. The Netanya beach is popular among Arabs from the West Bank and visitors from Arab countries who come to Israel each summer as part of the "open bridges" program.
Earlier today, another incident was averted when a soldier in Rehovot noticed a mysterious package aboard a bus traveling from Tel Aviv to Beersheba. It contained an explosive device which was detonated harmlessly by a police bomb disposal unit.

A small kitchen fire at the California Highway Patrol dispatch center Friday night was doused by overhead sprinklers that forced dispatchers to evacuate, he San Diego Fire-Rescue Department said.
Fire officials said hot oil on a stove set off a fire at the CHP offices on Opportunity Road in Kearny Mesa about 9:35 p.m. Two sprinkler heads were activated.
Fire damage was estimated at $5,000 to $10,000, but water from the sprinklers soaked through the floor and threatened to damage computers in the dispatch area, fire officials said. No overall estimate of damage to the building was available.
It took about half an hour to shut off the sprinklers. Dispatchers had to re-route calls for service to phone lines in outlying substations, the CHP said.
Firefighters worked late into the night to remove the water from the building.


text: Highland Hospital / About Us / Art Wellness Project Art Takes Flight at Highland Hospital Highland Hospital has completed a project that combines art with exercise. Two local artists – Lea Rizzo and Sarah Rutherford – painted the murals in a seven-flight stairwell as part of a hospital wellness project. "Art Takes Flight for Your Health." The goal is to make one of the most-used stairwells more inviting for walkers, including employees, physicians and visitors. The murals depict a story centered on the circle of life, incorporating elements seen around the hospital and the city. "Incorporating exercise into daily life keeps you healthy, and it saves time – you don't necessarily have to go to the gym when you get home from work if you are climbing stairs throughout the day," said Ashish Boghani, M.D., Chief Hospitalist at Highland, who came up with the idea for the project. Dr. Boghani has climbed the stairs at the hospital for the past eight years to get exercise while rounding on patients. Interventional Radiologist Ian Wilson, M.D., who leads a public art program called Wall Therapy, recruited two local artists to design and paint the stairwell murals. "Art enhances everyday life," Dr. Wilson said. "For employees in particular, I hope the stairwell will be a place they can go on break to ponder or be inspired. It's a way of being well at work." The project was funded by donations made through the Highland Foundation. Several physicians also made contributions. The stairwell is located in the west wing of the hospital near the blue elevators. Feel free to stop by the information desk at the main entrance of the hospital for detailed directions.

Although it pains me deeply on a personal level, I must admit at the outset that the hero of this next item is Sting.
Angela Long is a local substitute teacher who's legally blind, 20/200, even when corrected. Her husband, Kent, a certified attorney who works as a contract administrator for the State of Colorado, has eyesight that's even weaker--20/400. Both enjoy going to the occasional concert or sporting event, and Long says most venues in the area have gone the extra mile to accommodate them. She indicates that the management of Coors Field set them up in a handicapped section directly behind home plate at a Colorado Rockies playoff game last year, and the folks at Red Rocks regularly situate them in the handicapped area near the stage. "Sometimes we'll get flak because we're there," she allows. "But I have a prosthetic eye, and if we get problems, I'll pop it out and say, 'See? I'm blind.'" She adds that even in the front row at shows, "we have to use high-powered binoculars. One time when we saw Sting at Red Rocks, I could see him looking at us like we were crazy to do it, but that's the only way we can see much of anything."
Fan that she is, Long wanted to get seats in the first or second row for Sting's next local appearance, August 6 at Fiddler's Green, but she was unable to place her order on the day tickets went on sale. So she called Fiddler's Green and explained her situation to one of the representatives there. According to her, the Fiddler's staffer promised to call back as soon as she learned what could be done, but did not follow up. Long then called again and was told that Gene Felling, the vice president and general manager of the facility, could offer the Longs a place only in the amphitheater's handicapped section, behind the sound board near the rear of the first section of seats. To Long, this was unacceptable. "The handicapped seating in the theater is built for wheelchairs, but they are required by law to accommodate people with other disabilities, too," she says. "There was absolutely no consideration for limited-sight people such as myself."
Felling defends the placement of the Fiddler's handicapped sections, which were cited in an award bestowed on the amphitheater by Denver's Legal Assistance Center (a group of attorneys who donate their time to the handicapped). "That area is better than the seats that I have when I take guests," he protests. "We're required to offer handicapped seating in all price ranges, which we did. But Ms. Long felt that because of her handicap, she was entitled to front-row tickets--and at that point they were no longer available."
Long refused to take no for an answer. She faxed a letter to Felling claiming that her request was supported by provisions in the Americans With Disabilities Act. But she didn't get any action until she reached Sting's publicist at A&M Records. In short order, she was connected with the singer's booking agent, who put in an angry call to another employee at Fiddler's Green. In her initial conversation with Long, this worker contended that her hands were tied, but after more pressure was exerted, she finally came up with a pair of front-row seats. "She told me that one of Sting's bandmembers had dropped his tickets," Long maintains. "The only reason I got them was because Sting is a nice guy."
(Felling tells a slightly different version of this story: "Sting had some promotional tickets for radio giveaway on hold, and his management decided that rather than having a big problem, they would give them to her.")
Although she paid full price for the tickets she fought so hard to obtain, Long does not yet have them in hand; a Ticketmaster operator informed her that they should arrive at her door approximately ten days before the concert. Notes Long, "I won't feel comfortable until they do." In the meantime, she says she is filing an official complaint against Fiddler's Green with the U.S. Justice Department. "My husband is an attorney, after all," she points out.
"I'm surprised she's on such a crusade," Felling concedes. But he sees no need to alter the handicapped-seating policy at the venue. "We do what's required under the law, and in most cases we'll go beyond that. But it's not fair to the public to hold front-row seats in case someone in her position wants them. Our handicapped facilities have been fine for nine years, and I think they're still fine."
"We don't like to ask people for stuff," Long responds. "It's really embarrassing. But I'm not letting Fiddler's off the hook. They're going to have to change their policies. And if they do, I'll be happy. I don't want anything for myself. I just want other legally blind people to be able to get tickets at Fiddler's Green without having to go through all this hassle."
Cory Robbins, who co-founded Profile Records in the early Eighties, is forming a new label with corporate giant BMG. More astounding, he's actually soliciting demo tapes. Those musicians specializing in "original rap, dance, R&B and alternative rock" are advised to send a package to Robbins Entertainment, c/o Jonathan P. Fine, 30 West 21st Street, 11th Floor, New York, NY 10010-6905. Also soliciting tapes is the annual Cognac Hennessy Jazz Search. Folks interested in competing should send off packets by July 15 to the Cognac Hennessy Jazz Search, 2801 Ocean Park Blvd., Suite JAZZ, Santa Monica, CA 90405.

(THOMAS TRUMAN) CEMETERY, Greenfield Bend Road (West) MAURY COUNTY TENNESSEE
Thomas Truman Greenfield, a Revolutionary War Soldier, Revolutionary War Military Marker seen set in the end of the box tomb. That box tomb is also home to a (muddy) groundhog.
A sneak peek at the original box tomb of Thomas T. Greenfield. It was a major task to uncover enough of this top to make this photo. It still is largely unreadable.
We can see the memorial better here resting on the end of the box tomb slab.
GREENFIELD, Capt. Thomas T., 1744 - 15 Nov 1825 at residence of his son, Dr. G. T. Greenfield, in the 81st year of his age. Capt Calvert County Maryland Militia. REVOLUTIONARY WAR SOLDIER.
Captain Thomas Trueman Greenfield. "Native of Maryland, but for many years a resident of Tennessee. The deceased was one of the earliest patriots of the Revolution. He was never known through the course of a long life to lift his hand against his fellow man except in self defense and defense of his country. His friends have the consolation that
he died a Christian in full expectation of enjoying a better and brighter world." (Epitaph on his box tomb.)
Look closely at these photos if you did not think it tough to fight the thorns and brush using a bush whacker to get these photos. God gave me the training and talent for that and I enjoy doing this in spite of the difficulty, expense and millions who could or would not tackle such a tough situation. My only regret is having to leave these cemeteries behind in such sad shape. Because there are so many of them it is not possible for one person to clean all of them so the focus is upon getting a readable photo.

Pushing the big green buttonJul. 31st, 2007 10:23 pm
The proofs for the album artwork arrived (in the form of links to monster JPEG and PDF files) early this evening, shortly before I left work. Apparently it takes several hours for it to work its way through the upload queue to their proof server.
Their prepress artist found about a dozen nits to pick, but they were all things artbeco and I had discussed, and many of which we did on purpose. One comment strongly implied that said prepress artist wasn't old enough to have seen a punched card in the wild; the rest were almost certainly boilerplate.
So I told 'em to go anead and, as we say at the copier company where I work my day job, push the big green button. Fasten your seatbelts!

If the goal is to improve the economic fortunes of the least-advantaged workers and families, says economist Don Boudreaux in this short animated video, then the minimum wage is a terrible idea. On his blog, Boudreaux adds:
The minimum wage yields unfair advantages to families, such as mine, with teenagers who hail from middle- and high-income households, who are well-educated, whose parents and other relatives have social and business connections, and who have their own personal means of transportation. These advantages come at the expense – cruelly so – of minority and inner-city teens, of low-skilled immigrants, and of other workers who are poorly advantaged yet who, in most cases, need employment more than do those advantaged workers who manage to find jobs at the higher, minimum wage.
Economics in Christian Perspective: Theory, Policy and Life Choices
There is considerable debate in the public square these days about a number of issues that have significant economic components. Globalization, environmental protection, and aiding the poor are just a few. Decisions we make in our personal lives are influenced by our assumptions about economic realities as well. So how might mainstream economics connect with Christian values and principles?

I have two, a male and female. I don't get to hunt birds like I use to so they are more lile pets now. They are just as gentle and docile as can be and live in the house with us. My 21mo crawls all over the 80lb male, pulls on his tail, pinches his ears, sits on him and has even grabbed him by the stones (and they are large stones), he does nothing but wag his nub, well except with nut squeeze, that made him jump and he was a little nervous for about a week.
My 45lb female, plays with the kids, and gets into everything with them..
I can honestly say that I have seen both dogs immediately go stand between strangers to them and my kids in full protective mode. Delivery people call us prior to bringing something too, Chunk is large and quite formidable if he doesn't know you.
Mine retrieve, slide on slides, play in forts, and come inside and sleep beside my bed or recliner. Before long my baby boy is going to have the using silverware and napkins when they eat too.
GSP's are what you make them. If you include them as part of your family, then that is what they will be. If you treat them as tools or livestock, then you won't get a very good dog. They are very sociable and need that attention to thrive. They are not an ill tempered breed by any means, defensive and protective yes.
90% of the people that I have heard bad mouth the breed don't have a clue what they were doing with them in the first place. And 50% of those shouldn't even own a dog for that matter. About the worst thing my dogs do is dig and I haven't seen one working/sporting dog that didn't like to dig.

Customer Reviews for I Salon (5)
March 9, 2014
Very consistant Haircut
Doris is amazing and was very professional and gave me exactly the cut and style I was looking for. She went above and beyond with suggesting something to make my hair softer with texturizing and angles and it has felt like just that! I would highly recommend her to anyone!

Great Haircut & Service
Doris very nicely fit me in at the last minute for a haircut on a busy Saturday afternoon, and the entire experience was enjoyable. I will go back!
June 6, 2012
Wonderful way to spend the afternoon!
Walked into I Salon without an appointment and immediately was made to feel welcome. Detra, did my manicure and pedicure. It was so fantastic I will make regular trips from uptown to have them! Collie, highlighted my hair and did a superb job. While I was there I noticed the owner Doris, quite busy with various services all of which, impressed me especially the lash extensions. So, my next appointment will definitely include lash extensions. I'm sold on I Salon!

February 9, 2012
Doris did a fantastic job in highlighting my hair and correcting a blotched haircut. Her expertise and friendliness sure put me at ease as this was my first visit. I Salon was clean with a stylist modern décor. I found a gem when I discovered Doris and I salon and I will return!

text: "In a letter to the White House, a coalition of US organizations urged the Administration to recognize the recent opinion by the Court of Justice, the highest court in Europe, that ended a European data retention mandate. The European law required telephone and internet companies to retain metadata on customers for national security purposes. The European Court of Justice ruled that this practice violates the fundamental right to privacy and is illegal. The US groups argue that the opinion "bears directly on the White House's review of the NSA Telephone Records Collection Program and also the White House study of Big Data and the Future of Privacy." The groups urged the White House to 1) recognize the Court's decision in its upcoming report on big data and privacy; and 2) end the NSA telephone record collection program. The letter states that the decision by European Court "is the most significant legal opinion from any court in the world on the risks of big data and the ongoing importance of privacy protection." Last year EPIC, joined by dozens of legal scholars and former members of the Church Committee, urged the US Supreme Court to find the NSA's telephone record collection program unlawful. More recently, EPIC submitted extensive comments warning the White House of the enormous risks of current big data practices. For more information, see EPIC: Data Retention and EPIC: Big Data and the Future of Privacy."

DUBLIN: Australian halfback Will Genia says former Wallabies bad boy James O'Connor will be welcomed into the Queensland set-up much like Kurtley Beale has been embraced by the team ahead of his Test return this week.
And Genia believes the duo have learnt from their mistakes to become "better people", despite careers filled with off-field drama and controversy.
O'Connor met some of his future Reds teammates in Paris last week ahead of his return to Australian rugby in the coming months. O'Connor has spent the past year playing in England and France after being sacked by the ARU. Beale has only just rejoined the Wallabies after being exiled for six weeks after a text message scandal involving former team business manager Di Patston.
"James looks really fit, I was a bit taken aback [seeing O'Connor in Paris last week], he could be back for pre-season training in December and he's keen to get stuck in," Genia said. "They learn from their mistakes, they might have made a fair few in their time but they've become better people.
"James has always been a good guy. He can come off a certain way, but he's really genuine. He's found himself in poor situations. It sounds like he's grown up … the same with Kurtley. He's obviously had trouble but he seems like he's learnt from it."
Genia is preparing for the biggest year of his life and rugby career with the birth of his first child to be followed by the World Cup and a potential Australian farewell. Genia revealed he is set to miss the opening round of the Super Rugby season to be with wife Vanessa for the birth of their child in February.
He also said Vanessa's presence on the Wallabies' spring tour of Europe has helped him feel comfortable away from home and battling for the Test No. 9 jersey. An ankle injury threatened to keep Genia out of action for the Wallabies this year, but he made his comeback and played his first Test against Wales two weeks ago.
"Partners are allowed on tour, it's just normal. For me, I know the more comfortable I am, the better I perform as a rugby player," a relaxed Genia said at the team's Dublin hotel. "Having my wife here and my family around makes me feel at home and comfortable. You're not thinking about going home to see them or having the comforts because she's here.
"[Family] obviously comes into consideration for my future … it makes a big difference as to whether you go somewhere else or stay because of the family support with a young bub. It's about being smart about it, you don't commit to things too early. My feelings now might change in the coming year."
The Queensland Reds are facing a huge challenge to retain off-contract trio Genia, James Horwill and Quade Cooper beyond the end of next year as rich European clubs target their stars.
Genia said a deep love of playing for the Wallabies and Queensland would weigh heavily on his mind as he contemplates a potential move to Europe. The trio combined in some of Queensland's darkest days and lifted the club to Super Rugby champions in 2011.
"We've had conversations about our futures and potentially staying," Genia said. "[Reds chief executive] Jim Carmichael is a good guy and understands the importance of keeping guys with experience and building a culture so that the young guys have steady hands to guide them.
"The three of us, we love playing for Queensland. Whether we go or stay, we want the place to be in good hands. To have risen from [the bad times at the Reds] and to have the success and built that, you feel some ownership over what's transpired. It will be hard to leave if we do."
Genia has been linked with a move to Bath, the club former NRL star Sam Burgess has joined. There was speculation Horwill had already committed to a deal with English club Harlequins while Cooper is certain to be pursued by French teams.
Genia's family situation will play a huge role in whatever choice he makes, with Vanessa due to give birth to a girl on February 14.
The Reds start their Super Rugby season with a clash against the ACT Brumbies in Canberra on February 13.
"I won't be missing the birth, it's more important than playing a game of footy. I'll have to deal with whatever repercussions come with that, maybe an angry coach," Genia grinned. "I love playing and I just hope the bub can come early and I can do both."

Sports Business: The Death Of The Goon
McGrattan averaged almost four minutes per game last season and skated 10 shifts for 7:32 in Game 2 against Toronto. His goal is to average between six and eight minutes per game, but he says: "I'll still get my 20 fights because I'm going to be running the other team's best players. When you do that, you have to expect their players to come after you."
Broad Street BulliesThe game is changing. Players who no longer wish to fight don't fight. In the '70s and '80s, when bench-clearing brawls were a regular occurrence in the NHL, you didn't dare turn down an invitation to drop the gloves.
"If you did, you got a reputation that quickly spread around the league that you could be intimidated," says Dave "The Hammer" Schultz, a key member of Philadelphia's Broad Street Bullies who led the NHL in penalty minutes four times and completed a 535-game big-league career with 2,294 penalty minutes. "Once you got that type of a reputation, guys would be after you all the time."
How mean were Schultz's Flyers? Former Maple Leafs defenseman-turned-broadcaster Jim McKenny used to joke that when he and his team mates were walking towards the old Philadelphia Spectrum, you could look back to see the team bus still shaking. NHL vice president in charge of hockey operations Colin Campbell accumulated 1,292 penalty minutes during an 11-year NHL career. He recalls playing the Flyers at the Spectrum, where many of his team mates came down with the "Philadelphia Flu" and were unable to dress.
"I always knew I'd be getting lots of ice time in those games," Campbell says.
Teams drop fightersNowadays, though, some teams don't even bother carrying a designated fighter. The Carolina Hurricanes in their Stanley Cup year, for example, played all season without a fighter; same for Detroit, Montreal, Nashville, New Jersey, and Washington. The Rangers did not have one player exceed 100 penalty minutes, a feat almost unheard of. They did, however, dress one-dimensional fighter Colton Orr for 15 of the 35 games he played in 2005-06; he also played 20 for the Bruins.
Peter Laviolette, Carolina's coach, makes no bones about the way he expects his players to act in games.
"I have a very strict no-fighting policy for our team," Laviolette says. "Last year in the playoffs, Mike Commodore got into a fight and I said, 'OK, that's it. No more fighting.' I simply cannot afford to lose a player like Mike Commodore to an injury he may sustain in a fight."
"Take a guy like Erik Cole. If we allowed him to fight, I know he would do it. Now if he gets hurt in a fight, our team has lost a very valuable asset. How do I justify that? I can't. It just doesn't make sense to me to allow our guys to fight."
The difference is in your head…

The Native American princess Pocahontas was born near the end of the 16th century as the daughter of Powhatan, chief of the Powhatan confederacy. It was Pocahontas, known as Matoaka by her clan, who interceded on behalf of John Smith in 1608 and then persuaded her father to bring food to the starving colonists at Jamestown.
In 1614, after learning the ways of the English and converting to Christianity, she married John Rolfe, a successful planter. Later, she traveled to England and ingratiated herself into London society. Her help was regarded as indispensable to the survival of the Jamestown colony, which later became the state of Virginia.

Harry Wayne Casey
By Michael Hamersly
This Fourth of July, thousands of Marlins fans will flock to Land Shark Stadium to root for their team. But there's another reason to take your family out to the ball game: Disco-funk hitmakers KC and the Sunshine Band take the stage after the final out. Yes, for no extra cost, you'll groove to hits including "Get Down Tonight," "(Shake, Shake, Shake) Shake Your Booty," "Please Don't Go," "I'm Your Boogie Man," "That's the Way (I Like It)," "Keep It Comin' Love" and "Give It Up." Miami homeboy Harry Wayne Casey (you guessed it – "KC") talked to Miami.com about the gig, performing on the "American Idol" results show in April, and the late, great Michael Jackson.
Retro disco-funk is hot again – was there ever a time you thought your music was obsolete?
I never have looked at it like, "How long is it gonna last, is it obsolete, is it in, is it out"? I've just never looked at it that way.
You co-wrote "Rock Your Baby," which hit No. 1 in 1974 for George McCrae. How close was that to the beginning of disco?
It was right there. But actually before that I had written some other songs for KC and the Sunshine Band, and we were making noise with those over in Europe and certain states here. And while I was working on the KC and the Sunshine Band album, i came up with "Rock Your Baby." I think it was the first remixed song.
Do you have a new appreciation for your classic hits? Because they stand up really well against today's Top 40.
I've always felt like at times we've been underplayed and listed second to everyone who came after us, etc. etc. So, I've always felt that they were engineered masterfully and the sound was something ahead of its time.
Do you have a favorite of your songs?
Everyone always asks me that, and I just give them the generic answer that I like "Get Down Tonight" because it was my first U.S. hit, but I like all of them. There were probably some that were not major hits that I like just as well as the ones that were No. 1 records. So, all in all, maybe not everything I did because I could have done some of them better, but for the most part, it's hard to say which one is my favorite favorite favorite.
Did growing up in South Florida influence your musical style?
I don't know. I would think maybe some of it did, because there were times records were hits in South Florida and weren't anywhere else in the world, you know what I mean? But I grew up listening to what my mother liked, which was Ray Charles and R&B music, and then as the '60s came on I became a teenager and started getting into the Motown sound and the Stax sound and Aretha Franklin. I've always liked all kinds of music, Joe Cocker, Blood Sweat & Tears, then there was James Brown. If I had one main influence, it might have been the Motown sound.
What keeps you living in Miami?
I was born and raised here [laughs]. I'm not quite sure. I love Miami. I love the weather here, and my family has basically kept me here. And I think I'll always have a home here.
It's got to be different here now than when you were growing up. Do you like all the changes?
I don't like the changes, no. It's just getting more crowded and stuff, you know? I remember what used to take five minutes to get somewhere now takes 45 minutes. I watched them build I-95 and 826, and now all these tall buildings going up – enough's enough.
Any favorite hangouts?
One of my favorite barbecue places growing up was the Hitching Post off Okeechobee Road. I used to hang out at a place in Miami Lakes called Delaney Street, which is no longer there. So many things have changed and are no longer there…
How was your experience on "American Idol"?
It was a little bit stressful, to be honest. I was a little bit out of my element without my band, so I felt a little more uncomfortable than i normally would have doing a TV show, and I've done every TV show that's out there. I don't know why, but for that one, I was just really nervous. I have no idea why.
Do you think it's too easy, the way "Idol" finalists achieve instant fame?
I think what those kids have to go through is not so easy. It's kind of a crash course of what I had to do for five years…It's a good thing in some ways, and in some ways it's not. It's a good thing in that today, some record companies are so closed-minded and so not interested in building an artist's career and it's become so corporate America that it's where the dollar is and not where the talent is anymore. Some of these kids would never have made it – they couldn't even get their foot in the door. As far as that goes, it's created a great new venue for talented America. … But does it feel fair? No [laughs].
How long will you get to play after the Marlins game?
I think we're set for 45 minutes.
Are you a sports fan?
I am when they get near the playoffs [laughs]. I've always been into music and my career just takes me everywhere and I can hardly follow anything.
Any thoughts on Michael Jackson you'd like to express?
Well, like everyone else, I'm shocked. I was friends with him for a little while before the "Thriller" stuff. I remember him calling my house and we talked about writing songs, and I'd speak with him and Janet. The family was always very gracious and kind to me. It's a tragedy, and I hope it's not what everybody thinks it is, the people around him. Sometimes the people that get around us take control and start turning our minds. I kind of went through it, and I hope this is not what's happening again, like with Elvis and a lot of others. I'd also like to add that he was a great talent and created a lot of happiness for a lot of people.

Even though the Northern Alliance commanders in Mazar-i-Sharif knew what was coming, they were taken by surprise. As dawn came Saturday, word spread that the besieged Taliban had broken out of its last northern refuge, Kunduz city to the east, and was advancing on Mazar, attacking security posts as it moved. General Rashid Dostum called his fellow commanders to a hasty meeting as Alliance fighters converged on the dusty square outside, readying their pickups and rocket launchers for battle. A small unit of American special forces arrived, and their commander slipped inside. A few minutes later, the Alliance chiefs jumped into...

To everyone who's been using my Oppo userscript, I hope you've been enjoying it. To everyone else, now's the time to get in on the action!
For new users, please take a moment to read my original post (linked above) with all the details.
So what's new? First of all, speed. I reconfigured the project and changed how it loads - the performance should be much better for everyone.
Second, I've added optional features. In the vanity footer added to the very bottom of every page, you'll now see a "gear" icon which, when clicked, offers you some options:
- Colours - by default the colours option is enabled. This affects usernames, tags, the sidebar, and all links to other pages/posts. Uncheck it and click Save to go monochrome.
- Bigger sidebar - the sidebar has been shrunk a ton. For some users, it's too small. You can have a wider sidebar with larger text by checking this option. Don't forget to click Save.
Dismiss this popup without saving your changes by clicking Cancel, or by clicking again on the gear icon. Please note that these options use cookies, and may have to be set for each Kinja site you visit. I use the defaults (colours on, small sidebar) so I'm not sure how it'll work for everyone else.
The final new thing, which may or may not work, is auto-updating of userscripts with Greasemonkey. This feature should be working now, but I haven't tested it yet. We'll see in the coming weeks/months how that pans out.
Download link to the script: CLICK HERE
I hope you enjoy this, and that it works for you. If you have any problems or notice something that doesn't quite work, please don't hesitate to let me know by replying here.

Hot Summer Tours
The hottest country tours of the summer find superstars at the top of their game with opening acts capable of headlining their own sets. The best summer shows take place outdoors, and encourage extensive tailgating before and after a four-hour-long country jam.
These five tours are the perfect package of atmosphere and good music. Kenny Chesney set the standard of what a modern country concert should look like, and he lands high on the 2013 ToC Hot Summer Tours list. Tim McGraw's return to the road makes the cut, as does the most creative singer and stage technician around: Brad Paisley. None of these three men come in at No. 1, however. That honor goes to a superstar who's been cooped up indoors for far too long.
Tim McGraw's Two Lanes of Freedom Tour
Tim McGraw is reengergized with new music and, most importantly, a new record label home. It shows on his first major tour since signing with Big Machine Records. Old hits come alive again, and songs from his new album make for much more than "grab a beer" moments. 'Highway Don't Care' is one of those songs you yearn to see live. Opening act Brantley Gilbert is relatively new to playing amphitheaters (although he opened for Toby Keith in 2012), but his live pedigree should erase any doubt of his potential. Leave the parking lot early to catch him play.
Brad Paisley's Beat This Summer Tour
Brad Paisley's tour might be the only sure thing in country music. He reinvents his stage show yearly to include new theatrics, and every new element includes his personal stamp. Musically, he'll stop you dead with ballads like 'When I Get Where I'm Going' before ripping through a hit song like 'Old Alabama' or a deep cut like 'Hey Mr. Policeman.' Opener Chris Young has one of the purest voices in country music, and his new material promises to prove he's much more than a balladeer. Lee Brice is among the best club acts, and he's more than ready to take his passion and energy to the big stage.
Darius Rucker's True Believers Tour
While Darius Rucker's country catalog is limited in comparison to the more established names on this list, he's quite possibly the best performer of the group. Rucker mixes up hits like 'This' and 'Don't Think I Don't Think About It' with songs from his Hootie and the Blowfish days and cover songs like Prince's 'Purple Rain' — a true show-stopper. It might be worth it just to watch him sing 'Wagon Wheel.' Opener Rodney Atkins is no slouch on stage, and the two men have toured together a lot in recent years. Justin Moore and Jana Kramer also bring a lot of excitement this summer.
Kenny Chesney's No Shoes Nation Tour
The hottest opening acts available continue to make Kenny Chesney's tour a must-see for country music fans. The country superstar's venues and setlists remain mostly the same year after year, but he introduces his fans to some of the most interesting and exciting artists available. This year it's Eric Church, the Eli Young Band and Kacey Musgraves. The 'Blowin' Smoke' singer still has something to prove as a credible stage act, but Church and the EYB are certified sensations that won't be intimidated by playing football stadiums. Much like a Jimmy Buffett show, fans come for the atmosphere almost as much as the music.
Keith Urban's 2013 Light the Fuse Tour
For years, Keith Urban preferred arenas to amphitheaters, but his Light the Fuse Tour with Little Big Town and Dustin Lynch finds him playing outdoors well into October. Urban is a technician on stage, and he's at the top of his game, with a hefty career catalog to choose hits from. You'll have a new respect for this performer after seeing him live. The thought of singing along to 'Days Go By' with 20,000 other screaming fans beneath a clear summer night sky is too good pass up.

IT is indeed gratifying to observe that the finance minister has announced a 20 per cent relief to the pensioners of the government in 2012-13 budget.
I hope this benefit is extended to the pensioners of both the public and private sectors since the increase in the cost of living has affected the employees of both sectors.
In the past, however, it had been assumed that since most public sector organisations have formulated their own pay structure, any increase announced by the government does not apply to them.
The government should make it mandatory to implement such increases in pay and pension as and when they are announced. This may be treated as a benchmark. They may, however, be free to give more than the mandatory minimum.

Rickart ring
(left), left -ring
A ring in which the left annihilator of any element is generated by an idempotent (right Rickart rings are defined in a symmetric way). Rickart rings are characterized by the projectivity of all principal left (right) ideals. Regular, Baer and semi-hereditary rings are Rickart rings. A left Rickart ring need not be a right Rickart ring. A ring of matrices over a Rickart ring need not be a Rickart ring. The ring of endomorphisms of all free left -modules is a Rickart ring if and only if is left-hereditary. All these rings are right Rickart rings if and only if is left-hereditary, left-perfect and right-coherent. Under these conditions the rings of endomorphisms prove to be Baer rings (see Regular ring (in the sense of von Neumann)). A commutative ring is a Rickart ring if and only if its full ring of fractions is regular in the sense of von Neumann and if for every maximal ideal of the ring of fractions does not have zero divisors. A ring of polynomials over a commutative Rickart ring is a Rickart ring.
A ring with an involution is called a Rickart -ring if the left annihilator of any element is generated by a projection, i.e. by an element such that . The analogous property for right annihilators is automatically fulfilled in this case. The projections of a Rickart -ring form a lattice. This lattice is complete if and only if the annihilator of any set is generated by projections. Such rings are known as Baer -rings. The term "Rickart ring" was introduced in honour of C.E. Rickart, who studied the corresponding property in rings of operators (see [1]).

Essentially, a distinction is made between three types of mode in the fracture mechanics:
Mode I: Crack opening
Mode II: In-plane shear
Mode III: Out-of-plane shear
Mode I
There are various test arrangements for the individual modes. Mode I and Mode II are usual test procedures, as is Mixed Mode Bending
The test is normally performed with the DCB (Double Cantilever Beam) specimen.
Here, the crack opening is measured as crosshead travel.
The crack's growth is visually tracked on both sides of the specimen.
The test procedures and result evaluations differ depending on the standard applied.
Standards are: ISO 15024, ASTM D 5528, AITM 1-0005, AITM 1-0053, Boeing BSS 7273, CRAG method 600, NASA method RP 1092 ST-5, ESIS TC 4, prEN 6033 (withdrawn)
Mode II
Mode II loads can be generated and measured both in the flexural test, as well as in the tensile and compression test with notched specimens.
The measurement of the Mode II energy release rate is standardized as a flexural test.
The specimens are designated with SENB (Single End Notch Bending), but ENF (End Notch flexure) is another common term.
Deflection is measured by the crosshead travel (with stiffness correction), or by means of a displacement transducer, which is applied centrally.
The crack initiation point is characterized by a force maximum.
At the end of the measurement, the specimen is cooled in liquid nitrogen and then completely broken to measure the fracture surfaces.
Mixed Mode Bending (MMB)
"Mixed Mode Bending" can be measured on unidirectional laminates. This involves combining Mode I and Mode II.

Women robbed in Northwest D.C. hot tub
Police in D.C. are investigating whether two Northwest robberies are connected, including one in which the victims were sitting in a hot tub at the time of the crime.
Before this week's hot tub robbery, Kayley Whalen found herself face-to-face with a gun.
"I looked up, and they had a machine gun pointed at me," Whalen recalled.
The 27-year-old was standing on a porch on Somerset Place NW across from Coolidge High School last Thursday around 10 p.m.when she says the unbelievable happened.
Whalen added, "It had a banana clip. It was a definitely a machine gun about this long, and it was all black."
With the gun in her face, the gunman demanded her phone and purse.
"He was wearing a face mask so everything but his eyes were covered, and he said, 'Why are looking at me?' and shook the gun at me," Whalen continued.
Police are investigating whether that masked robber was involved in another crime - robbing two women as they sat in a hot tub.
Sehaline Denile Scaggs and Jana Jones were in the hot tub at a home at 6300 5th Street NW around 8 p.m. Tuesday when the masked man approached and said, "Give me your money or I'll shoot you."
"Right now, my heart is pounding out of my chest from thinking about it," Scaggs said.
The police report says the gunman next ordered the women out of the hot tub and into the home where he told one of the victims, "Give me the money, or I'll [expletive] shoot you and the dog..."
Scaggs ran upstairs, and the gunman asked if she was calling the police.
He stole an iPod, cellphone and cash before escaping.
Like Whalen, the women described the gun the suspect displayed as a large, automatic weapon.
Anyone with information about this case is asked to call the police at (202) 727-9099. Additionally, anonymous information may be submitted to the department's TEXT TIP LINE by text messaging 50411.

HP OpenVMS Systemsask the wizard
The Question is:
Is FTAM still supported? We heard an ugly rumour that Compaq were withdrawing support for this product. Is it true? Or do you know of an end date to support? Ta.
The Answer is :
You will want to reflect upon the apparent (in)accuracy of your information source. FTAM (and DECnet-Plus) is fully supported, and there are no plans to change this support status -- newer versions of DECnet-Plus will continue to be released as newer versions of OpenVMS are released.

Flowers sustains knee injury in OU's spring game
Published 8:20 pm, Saturday, April 12, 2014
SAN ANTONIO — Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops said the Sooners were fortunate injuries to former Churchill High fullback Dimitri Flowers and defensive end Geneo Grissom that occurred in the Sooners' spring game didn't turn out as significant as originally feared.
Flowers sustained a hyperextended left knee Saturday afternoon in Norman, Okla., when he was caught by a low tackle from cornerback Zack Sanchez. The injury is not considered to be serious, Stoops said.
Grissom, a key producer in the Sooners' Sugar Bowl victory over Alabama, will miss six weeks after spraining his left medial collateral ligament but should be back for the start of June workouts.
Sports Channel
"We were lucky," Stoops told reporters after the game.
Former Texas Tech quarterback Baker Mayfield, who won't play this fall during his transfer season, completed all nine passes for 125 yards and two touchdowns as the most effective QB in the scrimmage.
Former Reagan standout Trevor Knight completed 5 of 14 passes for 53 yards and was intercepted and sacked twice.
"At the end of the day, the disadvantage against the defense is so familiar with you," Stoops said. "They know the formation and routes. It makes it harder, but we're very pleased with what Trevor has done overall."

What gorgeous girls! Rocker Bret Michaels was joined by his beautiful daughters Raine, 10, and Jorja, 5, as he posed for pics outside of the Ed Sullivan Theater in New York yesterday before an appearance on The Late Show with David Letterman (July 12).
After suffering a brain hemorrhage in April, the 47-year-old Celebrity Apprentice star told Oprah Winfrey that the scare really put things into perspective.
It puts things in perspective real quickly, you instantly put into your life what matters the most at that exact time… it is your immediate family, your kids, your best friends. At that point, you're not thinking about anything else. You're not thinking about career, you're not thinking about nothing, you're thinking, 'Let me live through this… The only thing that matters right now is taking care of my family and my kids and thanking God I'm still alive to talk about it.'"
Bret and the girls were also joined by their mom Kristi Lynn Gibson.

For the first time last week, a million U.S. college men got a fairly clear idea of what to expect from the draft. By executive order, President Truman amended the nation's outdated draft regulations, set up a new system to give the country's more promising students a chance to finish up their studies.
There will be no automatic mass deferments : each student will have to prove to the Selective Service System that his education is necessary "to the national health, safety, and interest." Under the new regulations, deferments will be granted to:

Great quick trip to FL tonight - 3 rolls Marcal paper towels, 3 boxes Splenda, and 2 packs Butterball turkey burgers - total OOP $2.48! :) Paid $1 each for the turkey burgers and tax!
can you stack coupons at Lowes foods? like their online ones with my manf. ones?
Nancy, I think I am completely in love with HT now! With the e-vic coupons and the matching paper coupons its like getting so much stuff for free or close to it! Ahhh, I want to go shopping right now!!! Thank you so much! I am literally about to die of joy right now!
Oh, and couponlover, after 2:30pm on Tuesdays, the new sale prices are up on Harris Teeter Express Lane shopping site - just type in the item you are looking to price out and the new prices for tomorrows ad will be showing, you can check to see if Tide will be on sale :)
Here is the link, just scroll down to find the HT closest to you as your 'store' and then you can search all their products they carry :)
couponlover - yes! Using a paper coupon and getting the ZVR (digital coupon) for the same purchase is ok! In fact, HT policy even states it's done :)
Just make sure your ZVR is loaded to your card and make sure to check your receipt before you leave to make sure it's deducted (it will be in bold black with ZVR marked on the line).
Isn't HT wonderful!!! They're the ONLY grocery store that allows stacking like that!
I'm sure this has been answered hundreds of times but... With the e-vic coupons can I use a manufacture one too? The reason I ask is there is an e-vic coupon for 1.50 off tide stain release and we have a 1.50 from this past paper so would that total $3 off? If so I'm going to be doing the happy dance if they put Tide on sale!
$1 off 1 Pop Chips (Kroger carries these), can print two, Bricks coupons:
squiggs - here's the link, just copy and paste into your browser, they have a great FAQ page too, easy to understand how the program works :) Enjoy the savings!
THanks Nancy for that help! Is there a website of some sort to sign up for this? Or where can I learn more about this awesome deal?
Target money maker: Just received a Target mailer with $60 in Qs, one of which is for $1 off two Bic stationery items. I paired that with two $1 off one Bic stationery items. Because I bought the $1 packs of pens, I made $1 from the three Qs.
Also at Target: Vitaminwater on sale $.88 each. I had two B2G1 Qs, so they cost me $.59 each. And Carnation breakfast drink mix sale for $3.77 - $1.50 Q (from dr's office) = $2.27 (10 pack). I think All You has a $1Q, which is still a good deal. Two toys @ 75% off. And mailer Q for $5 GC w/$50 purchase. Got a catalina for $10 GC w/new or transferred Rx, too!

Joey Barton slams QPR over treatment and admits he wants to leave
Joey Barton has launched a stinging attack on QPR for the way they have treated him since he picked up a 12-match ban at the end of last season.
The combative midfielder took to Twitter this evening to vent his frustration at being excluded from the first-team squad by manager Mark Hughes and admitted he is now keen to leave west London for good.
Barton picked up a 12-game suspension following his red card in the last match of last season against Manchester City, ruling him out until November.
However, he claimed he had taken the moral high ground by offering to terminate his contract at Loftus Road – something he urged owner Tony Fernandes to confirm.
Barton seemed angry at the way Hughes has treated him in recent weeks, writing: 'I could of appealed as is my right. I chose not to out of respect. But when I returned to the club I am forced to train away from the 1st team.
'I am stripped of the captaincy. Then, made to train at 3pm. Then, I am hawked around on loan. Then, I have my shirt number taken without any notice. Then, I read I wouldn't of been signed had the current regime been in place.'
The former Newcastle and Manchester City man went on to confirm he now wishes to push through a move to Marseille as he cannot take any more punishment at QPR.

There are many great reasons to buy private health insurance. Some people purchase private health insurance because they are not offered an employer-sponsored plan. They can apply for subsidies, which reduce the cost of health insurance. Private health insurance also offers more choice than choosing from a single health insurance option offered through an employer. Residents can shop around among a wide variety of affordable plans, choosing the coverage that suits their needs. In fact, Kansas residents have so many plans to choose from that the options can be overwhelming.
It helps to have someone on your side who understands the health insurance industry and all of the options available. If you're in the market for a new plan, contact HealthMarkets. We work with more than 180 national and regional health insurance providers and can help you find the plan that's right for you at a price that fits your budget. Best of all, our service is available at no cost to you.

Latka is excited about his mother's visit, but when Louie refuses to let him take the day off, he asks Alex to entertain her. Alex takes Latka's mother to Mario's and later to Radio City Music Hall, and it becomes evident that they are very attracted to one another. The next day, Alex tells Elaine that after the show, Latka's mother asked to go back to Alex's place for a drink and they ended up sleeping together, after she became an ""animal"" and tore his clothes off. Latka then approaches Alex, having learned of this event, and happily calls him ""Daddy."" Latka's mother then arrives and explains to Latka that she was just lonely and had no intention of marrying Alex. Latka is upset, but forgives his mother, just not Alex. Alex later apologizes to Latka and begs his forgiveness, eventually gaining it when Latka suggests they practice his country's age old tradition of pretending the event never happened.See more

Role: Ender Wiggin
Birthday: April 1, 1997
Asa Butterfield was born and raised in Islington, London where, when he's not away filming, he lives with his parents and younger sister, Loxie. He also has an older brother, Morgan, who is a drummer.
Butterfield caught the acting bug when he was 7 and started taking part in a local children's theater. He made his first television appearance in the movie After Thomas (2006) where he played a young autistic boy and a year later he was casted in Son of Rambow (2007), a coming-of-age story about two boys who set out to create an amateur film.
According to Wikipedia, he enjoys school, friends, piano, squash, reading, video games, and his cats.
The Boy in the Striped Pajamas
Butterfield stepped into the limelight in 2008 when he appeared as "Bruno" in Mark Herman's World War II drama, The Boy in the Striped Pajamas. After seeing his audition tape and meeting with him in person, Herman was so impressed with his natural, believable performance that he was instantly ready to cast him but decided to audition hundreds of other hopefuls before giving the role to Butterfield so that "no stone was left unturned."
|as Bruno
Merlin and More Movies
After appearing in The Boy in the Striped Pajamas, Butterfield secured a role in an episode of the BBC drama Merlin, where he played Mordred, a young Druid boy who is rumored to grow up to be the downfall of King Arthur. He appeared as Mordred in subsequent episodes in 2009 but Mordred was recently re-casted by an older actor, Alexander Vlahos, most likely because of conflicts with Butterfield's filming schedule.
|as Mordred
Most recently, Asa Butterfield can be seen as the title character in Martin Scorsese's Hugo, starring alongside many notable actors such as Sir Ben Kingsley, Sacha Baron Cohen, Christopher Lee and Jude Law. The film opened to extremely positive reviews and was nominated for 11 Oscars, the most of the evening. It won 5 of those awards, including Best Cinematography and Best Art Direction.
|as Hugo
In November of 2011, after much speculation surrounding his name and the role, Asa Butterfield was officially cast as Ender Wiggin in the upcoming Ender's Game movie. Filming began in New Orleans on February 24, 2012 and is set to finish on June 8th.
Fun Fact
At the age of 5, Asa Butterfield appeared on the cover of "Better than Working" by Patrick Skene Catling, an autobiography of a British man who started his career in the airforce and then went on to become a war journalist. You can view the cover here. :)
Happy Birthday, Asa!

The Ganga on Sunday crossed the danger mark in West Bengal, Bihar and neighbouring districts of Uttar Pradesh where Yamuna river is also in spate, while heavy rainfall has created a flood-like situation in some parts of Rajasthan where six persons have died so far.

Hollywood Fantasies of Miscegenation:
Hollywood Fantasies of Miscegenation analyzes white fantasies of interracial desire in the history of popular American film. From the first interracial screen kiss of 1903, through the Production Code's nearly thirty-year ban on depictions of "miscegenation," to the contemplation of mixed marriage in Guess Who's Coming to Dinner (1967), this book demonstrates a long, popular, yet underexamined record of cultural fantasy at the movies.
With ambitious new readings of well-known films like D.W. Griffith's 1915 epic The Birth of a Nation and of key forgotten films and censorship documents, Susan Courtney argues that dominant fantasies of miscegenation have had a profound impact on the form and content of American cinema.
What does it mean, Courtney asks, that the image of the black rapist became a virtual cliché, while the sexual exploitation of black women by white men under slavery was perpetually repressed? What has this popular film legacy invited spectators to remember and forget? How has it shaped our conceptions of, and relationships to, race and gender?
Richly illustrated with more than 140 images, Hollywood Fantasies of Miscegenation carefully attends to cinematic detail, revising theories of identity and spectatorship as it expands critical histories of race, sex, and film. Courtney's new research on the Production Code's miscegenation clause also makes an important contribution, inviting us to consider how that clause was routinely interpreted and applied, and with what effects.
"With Hollywood Fantasies of Miscegenation: Spectacular Narratives of Gender and Race, 1903-1967, Susan Courtney offers an important work that should serve as the starting point for any analysis of the depiction of race and gender in film. . . . Simply put, Hollywood Fantasies of Miscegenation belongs on the bookshelf of every serious scholar and student of film."--Richard John Ascarate, MEDIEN
"This could be the most important book published on film and race in America. It contains superior film analysis, a strong sense of film history, and breathtaking insights."--Thomas Gunning, University of Chicago
"This was an exciting book to read. Courtney is a rigorous, often brilliant scholar."--Charles Musser, Yale University
