CLEVELAND -- Tuesday's game a Progressive Field between the Indians and Phillies was unique in that the manager of both teams used to manage the other team.
Indians manager Terry Francona was the manager of the Phillies from 1997 to 2000 and Phillies manager Charlie Manuel was the Indians' manager from 2000 to 2002.
"I have a lot of good memories here," said Manuel, who was also the Indians' hitting coach from 1988-89 and from 1994-99.
"I remember all the players we had here. It was fantastic," Manuel said. "It would have been nice to win a World Series. I thought we had the team to do it but we didn't get it done for some reason."
Manuel has gotten it done with the Phillies, the team he has managed since 2005. He took the Phillies to the World Series in 2008 and 2009, winning it all in 2008.
"The more I'm around this game the more I realize how much luck is in it," he said.
The Indians went to the World Series twice with Manuel as their hitting coach, in 1995 and 1997, losing in six games to Atlanta in '95 and losing in seven games to Miami in '97.
That 1995 Indians team featured perhaps the best lineup and group of hitters in Indians history.
"I've been in this game 51 years and that lineup was the most potent, the best balanced I've ever seen," Manuel said. "We hit the ball hard consistently. We'd be down five, six, seven runs and it was nothing for us to come back and win the game. We had a full house every night. Everything about it was good."
Now 69 years old, Manuel is in the last year of his contract with the Phillies, whose $159 million payroll is the third largest in the majors, and carries with it soaring expectations for success.
However, the Phillies came into Tuesday's game with a losing record (12-14). If the Phillies fall short of expectations, it could be Manuel, who has won more games (739) than any manager in Phillies history, who becomes the scapegoat.
"Every day you get to manage in the big leagues is a special day," he said. "I'd like to manage as long as I can. I've never told anyone I don't want to manage."
Manuel says he still follows the Indians.
"They picked up some good pieces in (Michael) Bourn and (Nick) Swisher," he said. "It always gets back to pitching, but I think they'll score some runs. I'm looking forward to seeing their team, but I don't want them to beat us."
Where are they now?
Jim Thome, who was a Manuel prot�g� in Cleveland, has retired -- but not by choice. Thome, now 42, was not signed by any major league team.
Manuel was Thome's minor league manager and major league hitting coach in Cleveland.
"He called me the other day and said, 'Chuck, mind if I hang out with you?'," Manuel said. "I said, 'You can live with me!' He misses the game. It's his identity. It's all he's done for the last 20 years. I think he's having a hard time adjusting (to not playing)."
Then what?
Asked what he will do when he is no longer a major league manager, Manuel said, "Probably go somewhere and teach someone how to hit."
Bourn update
Bourn was eligible to come off the disabled list Tuesday, but it didn't happen as he continued his rehab from a lacerated right index finger.
Francona said Bourn will play a couple of games on a minor league rehab assignment before the Indians activate him.
Day off
Swisher was not in the starting lineup Tuesday and Francona said Swisher probably won't play Wednesday. The issue is a sore left shoulder.
"It's been nagging him," Francona said. "We've been playing the heck out of him."
o The Phillies activated outfielder Delmon Young from the DL and designated for assignment outfielder Ezequiel Carrera, whom they claimed off waivers from the Indians earlier this season.
o The Indians are facing two former Cy Young Award winners in this series: Roy Halladay and Cliff Lee. According to the Elias Sports Bureau, the Indians have won 11 of their last 17 games in which the opposing starting pitcher was a Cy Young winner.
o Wednesday night Trevor Bauer (0-1, 5.40) will be recalled from Columbus and will start vs. Lee (2-1, 3.03).

Bridge Building Contest 11.20.11 at The Larkin's House
Jim and Julie Larkin hosted a standing-room only crowd for the over one dozen bridges that each Webelos I boy constructed with glue and 100 or less Popsicle sticks. The results were truly amazing and our boys (and their parents, too!) learned about engineering principles, IMPACT, and the pros and cons of waiting to the last minute to help their boys complete the project. Chris Larkin's bridge, weighing less than a pound, held up under 107.5 lbs - the entire stack of available weights! The gala event included pizza, photos, and lots of laughs - thank you, Larkins for hosting, and Mr. McDanolds and Mr. Wildasin for leading our Web I's!

Apparently you have to be really nice to them, and like.. complete all their hobbies, like if they ask for a bug competition, then win the bug and give it to them, and if they ask for clothes, give them some and if they want a specific piece of furniture, also give it to them and it'll make them leave quicker. xD

When you reach the end of the song press Control and C to copy it. Then open up Microsoft Word and Control and V to paste the song lyrics. You can then save the song as a word document with whatever file name is handiest for retrieving it later. Hope that helps Tony, thanks for the feedback also, it's appreciated. All the best, Francis. ----- Original Message ----- From: tony sweeney To: students list Sent: Friday, April 15, 2011 12:43 PM Subject: [vip_students] Saving Song Lyrics from Easylinks Afternoon, I find that edition of a link for Song Lyrics in Easylinks great indeed for learning (relearning) favourite songs!

Let's close out 2007 with political awards
By Bob Roegner, Inside Politics
Well another year has come and gone.
As always, politics provided a reminder of how important our democracy is while at the same time providing entertainment for those with an offbeat sense of humor.
We cant close out 2007 without acknowledging some political awards.
The Where Did My Friends Go? award goes to unsuccessful Democratic candidate for prosecuting attorney, Dan Sherman. He watched as Democratic heavyweights Sen. Adam Kline and attorney Jenny Durkin, along with others, supported appointed Republican incumbent Dan Satterberg while Democratic County Executive Ron Sims remained neutral.
The Ive Got a Secret award goes to King County Council member Jane Hague, who kept her DUI arrest a secret through filing week and only picked up token opposition on her way to re-election.
The Oops, We Sure Fumbled That One award goes to King County Democrats for not fielding a good candidate who could have likely put Hagues council position in the Democrats column.
The Im Job Hunting award goes to defeated former Republican State Rep. Toby Nixon, who successfully obtained voter support for making the Elections Director position elected rather than appointed.
The Can We Have a Recount? award goes to Auburn Mayor Pete Lewis, who saw his nemesis, former council member Virginia Haugen, re-elected to the city council.
The Public Can Apparently Spell award goes to Jim Nobles, who assumed they couldnt when he filed against Democratic incumbent Scott Noble for assessor. Noble retained his seat in a landslide.
The Keeping It in the Family award goes to Redmond Mayor-elect John Marchione, who will assume the position his mother held for two terms back in the 1980s.
The Are You Sure That Was a Good Idea? award goes to Insurance Commissioner Mike Kreidler, who took on the insurance companies in Referendum 67. Kreidler is up for election in 2008, and the insurance companies will want payback, so he also qualifies for the political courage award.
The What Have You Done for Me Lately? award goes to the voters in Renton who turned out incumbent Mayor Kathy Keolker after one term despite her two decades of outstanding service on the city council. A co-winner is the King County Department of Elections that has run several good elections, but still saw Initiative 25 pass to change their departments leadership to an elected position.
The Perseverance award goes to Democratic State Sen. Tracey Eide for delivering to voters the initiative on simple majority for schools.
And the What Have I Gotten Myself Into? award will be shared by new Federal Way School Board members Amye Bronson-Doherty and Suzanne Smith, new Federal Way City Council member Dini Duclos, and current city manager Neal Beets.
The first three all won their elections, but will now find governing a lot more challenging than it looks to be from the outside.
Beets shares the award as no one mentioned when he signed his employment contract that there were folks in town who might want to change the form of government, and therefore, his job.
The Good Government award goes to the Federal Way Mirror for showing a lot of leadership in deciding to actually endorse candidates. That may not have been as easy of a decision as you think, but it was the right decision. Many other suburban newspapers decided to stay out of decisions that affect their communities.
And lastly, the Thanks for Your Hard Work award goes to former city council member Dean McColgan, former South King Fire and Rescue commissioner Gary Bollinger, and former school board members Charlie Hoff and Evelyn Castellar, who all have left public office with this past election.
Each in their own way made a difference in our community and has earned the respect and admiration that comes with the sacrifices one makes to serve the public interest.
Our thanks to all of you.
Federal Way resident Bob Roegner, a former mayor of Auburn, can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Sign up for our weekly email * The Seattle Police Department (SPD) announced on Wednesday that it has started using Twitter to broadcast information on stolen cars in the greater Seattle area. The car theft microblogging account @getyourcarback has garnered 550 followers in the 22 hours since it went live. The SPD said that as soon as the department receives the report of a stolen vehicle from officers in the field, it will send out a tweet to those following the feed. The 911 communications staff will monitor the twitter feeds of the new account, the SPD added. Opening a Twitter account is a very small investment of resources and that the experiment was worth trying, the police told Forbes blogger Mike Isaac. The SPD also said it would consider more such Twitter accounts for traffic information and community alerts, if the current experiment is successful. Over 3,000 cars -- an average of 9.9 per day and up from 8.6 per day the year before -- were stolen in Seattle between January to October this year, the SPD informed.

8th Annual Susan G. Komen Concert For The Cure
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Police in Indiana say a man was killed when he was struck by a tour bus belonging to country star Jason Aldean.
Knox County Sheriff Michael P. Morris said Aldean and his driver were the only ones aboard the bus early Monday when it struck a man who had walked onto U.S. Highway 41 North.
The deceased was identified as Albert Kennedy of Vincennes, Ind.
Morris said no charges will be filed, calling the accident "unavoidable."
"In all the years I've been touring and all the miles we've driven, nothing prepares you for something like this to happen," Aldean said in a post on his Twitter account confirmed by his publicist. "I'm praying for Albert Kennedy's family and friends today and ask that you do the same."

A former member of the Lower Dauphin Board of School Directors has been ordered to trial on child sexual abuse charges.
Rodney Nissley, 48, of Hummelstown appeared for his preliminary hearing Wednesday before District Judge Dominic Pelino, who ruled that the victim's testimony was enough to send the case to Dauphin County Court.
His accuser testified at the hearing that Nissley molested her multiple times over a period of years, beginning when she was either in the second or third grade and continuing until November 2012.
All 13 charges against Nissley were forwarded to county court, including felony counts of rape of a child, statutory sexual assault, and aggravated indecent assault. A formal arraignment was scheduled for July 9.
The investigation was prompted in November when the girl reported the sexual abuse to a school counselor, according to police, who said none of alleged abuse was related to the school and did not take place during school events.
Nissley, who had been on the board since December 2008, resigned March 14.

The rear wing Ariel looks slightly antiquated is there anything you can replace it with to make it work just as good but look more modern i.e short stubby? Any photos and links greatly appreciated.


text: Ok, everyone, we heard Pete today. And he's right, it's time for us to get back on the ball with the Give Kids the World fundraisers. So many people are doing so much, but every single one of us can go over to http://www.firstgiving.com/fundraiser/david-parfitt/disgktw and donate. Most of us can do more, and I'm sure many of us have done nothing. I know I've done nothing; I donated $10 via my phone the first time the fundraiser was announced, but then I haven't done anything else for 18 months. This show, that costs me nothing, is well worth more than a measly $10. So I'm going to ask you to ask yourself a question: How much would you pay for the podcast? If the podcast were on a subscription model, if it weren't free, how much would you pay for it per week? I'm sure each of us would pay at least a dollar a week. But whatever number that is that you'd pay per week, I'm going to ask you multiply that number by 52, and then give that amount. It's the least we can all do. http://www.firstgiving.com/fundraiser/david-parfitt/disgktw

4 Ways Ads Are Legally Allowed to Lie To You
We all know they can't put anything on the internet that isn't true. I learned that on the internet. (Please note the sarcasm.)
Honestly though, you really can't trust much of anything you hear in major advertising campaigns, as companies are legally allowed to deceive you on purpose.
As a matter of fact, Coke and Apple have both defended false claims about VitaminWater and the iPhone 3G, saying consumers should have known they were false! We're definitely not protected by the law against false advertising.
A few examples:
1. Cell phone coverage maps — Anywhere your phone drops a call, there could be LOTS of reasons why it happened, so basically it's impossible to prove that a company didn't have coverage there. So, lying on the maps…
2. Food serving sizes — The sizes change randomly, so we often assume a package is one serving. It's usually not.
3. Bogus health benefits — Companies will make any health claim people will believe, like acai berries being better for you than other berries. Eclipse Gum claimed their product killed germs in your mouth…and they lost that court case because it's not the GUM, it's the CHEWING.
4. Making food sound healthy when it's not — Just because Krispy Kreme says their donuts have 0 percent trans fat does NOT mean their donuts are healthy.
