When it comes to cozy winter charm -- roaring fires, hot (and strong!) drinks, and snug nooks -- it's hard to top Ireland. Though winter is the off season for the Emerald Isle, it can be a magical time to visit (as anyone who has heard the song Christmas in Killarney can probably understand). Plus, hotels can be dirt cheap this time of year. So sure, it'll be near-freezing cold, but fortunately these hotel features will warm you right up on your Irish holiday.
Toasty Feature: The Peat-Burning Fireplace
Peat is as Irish as it gets -- this bog turf has been burned as fuel for centuries in Ireland, and gives off a distinct smell that some people love.
Find It At: Bushmills Inn, Northern Ireland
The quaint Bushmills Inn in Antrim is quintessentially Irish in every respect: There are fireplaces burning peat or wood throughout the property, a fantastic restaurant serving locally sourced cuisine, Irish music performed certain nights at the Gas Bar, which is lit by traditional gaslight, and 41 cozy, cottage-style rooms. The inn has a rich history dating back to 1608, when a coach house and stables stood here, and the actual main inn building dates to the 1820s; the historic character has been carefully and thoughtfully preserved throughout.
Toasty Feature: The Wood-Burning Fireplace
For those not enamored of the smell of peat, plenty of Irish hotels have more traditional wood-burning fires to keep you warm.
Find It At: Ballyanhinch Castle Hotel, Connemara
The 40-room Ballynahinch Castle Hotel is a less formal, more accessible alternative to the more famous Ashford Castle to the east. It has a riverfront location amid the wild, unspoiled beauty of Connemara and decor that's alternately homey and elegant, including lovely fireplaces to cozy up next to in the lobby, the library, The Hunts Room, and the charming Fisherman's Pub. Though the hotel is more of a manor house than a castle, the main structure dates to the 18th century and both the building and the estate are steeped in history. The 450-acre grounds offer a range of activities, including beautiful hikes, woodcock shooting, and fishing. Both restaurants serve terrific gourmet cuisine using fish, game, and mushrooms from the surrounding region.
Toasty Feature: Irish Coffee
There's nothing quite like a hot drink with a kick of whiskey to warm you up after being outside in the cold, and while in Ireland, Irish Coffee is an appropriate (and delicious) choice.
Find It At: The House Hotel, Galway
This intimate, 40-room boutique is one of Galway's best upscale options, and has charm to spare, with a historic stone exterior and bold, quirky interior. There are few features to speak of -- no fitness center, spa services, or dedicated meeting rooms -- but the hotel does feature a hot spot bar that serves not only Irish coffee, but creative cocktails from trained mixologists. Rooms have bright, stylish decor and upscale bathrooms with towel warmers and rainfall showerheads.
Toasty Feature: Cashmere Bed Socks and Hot Water Bottles
Are you the type that always gets cold at night? Are you a cover hogger? Well, the Victorians may have had the right idea when they tucked themselves in at night with hot water bottles, and this age-old trick still works wonders. Add cashmere socks to the equation and you're guaranteed to have a cozy and luxurious sleep.
Find It At: The Merrion Hotel, Dublin
What's not to love about a hotel where guests can request hot water bottles and cashmere bed socks to chase away the winter chills? The Merrion is Dublin's most exclusive luxury hotel, and has a convenient location across from the Government buildings in four 18th-century townhouses. It has fewer rooms than the nearby Shelbourne and feels more intimate and private, though its list of features is still extensive: The hotel has a full-service spa, lovely Roman-style indoor pool, and well-equipped fitness center. The impressive restaurant offering includes Restaurant Patrick Guilbaud, the only restaurant in Ireland to receive two Michelin stars, as well as the casual and atmospheric Cellar Bar, housed in the original 18th century wine vaults. It's true that some rooms have unremarkable views of other buildings, the gym is a bit small, and not all rooms have iPod docks, but most will find little fault with this five-pearl gem.
Toasty Feature: The Inglenook
For those unfamiliar with the term, an inglenook is the cozy little nook on each side of a large fireplace. Sometimes they're only large enough for stacking firewood, but when there's enough room to curl up next to the fire -- well, that's an inglenook at it's best.
Find It At: Ashford Castle, County Mayo
Ashford Castle embodies the fantasy of the Irish castle hotel, featuring a massive historic stone facade, complete with towers and turrets; gorgeous, manicured grounds; a stunning setting on a huge lake; and common spaces that are truly grand, with rich wood paneling, chandeliers, antique furniture, and of course, quaint inglenooks for cuddling up. George V Dining Room offers excellent, formal fine dining (jackets are required in the evening), and drinks and tea can be enjoyed in the graceful drawing room with lake views. The wide range of estate activities includes falconry lessons, boat tours on the lake, golf on the 9-hole course, clay shooting, and archery.
Toasty Feature: Cozy Library
Snuggling up with a book by the fire is one of the best ways to spend a winter day, especially when the fire is blazing in a charming, clubby library with tufted leather green sofas.
Find It At: Sheen Falls Lodge, Kenmare
Sheen Falls Lodge is arguably the top hotel in County Kerry. The 300-acre estate belonged to the Marquess of Landsowne in the 18th century, and the hotel -- opened in 1991 -- feels like a country manor house, complete with a library boasting an impressive literary selection that isn't just for show -- the books are well-used by guests. The lodge has a stunning setting on both Kenmare Bay and Sheen River, which has, as the name suggests, gentle tumbling waterfalls. The 66 rooms have classic country decor -- crown molding, cheerful prints (plaids and florals among them, in moderation), and soft yellow walls; all but one have water views. Estate activities range from clay pigeon shooting to fishing to tennis, and more traditional luxury hotel features include a lovely indoor pool, spa, and small fitness center. Formal fine dining is offered at La Cascade restaurant, while (slightly) less expensive dishes are served at the classy Restaurant Lounge. The sommelier hosts daily tastings in the wine cellar.
Toasty Feature: Afternoon Tea
The Irish love a good cuppa just as much as their English neighbors, and having a traditional tea is a lovely way to spend a cold afternoon.
Find It At: The Shelbourne Dublin, A Renaissance Hotel
The 265-room Shelbourne, built in 1824, is one of Dublin's best-known luxury icons, with a grand entrance right on St. Stephen's Green and an impressive roster of famous past guests (Bill Clinton, Julia Roberts, and Liam Neeson have all stayed here, to name a few). Rooms have elegant traditional decor, though some are quite small and standard Queen Rooms lack bathtubs. Still, the ornate common spaces, hot spot bars and dining venues (including Lord Mayor Lounge which is a perfect place for a proper tea), luxury spa, and historic cachet combine to make this one of Dublin's premier options.
Toasty Feature: Hot, Hearty Breakfast
A filling, hot breakfast is the best way to prepare yourself for a day of sightseeing in the cold.
Find It At: River Lee Hotel, Cork
The River Lee is one of the top luxury hotels in Cork, and is part of the upscale Doyle Collection mini-chain. The hotel's hot breakfast buffet items include sausages, hash browns, tomatoes, mushrooms, bacon, black and white pudding, and eggs. In addition, there are breads, yogurts, meats, cheeses, fish, fruit, pastries, and even honeycomb. Contemporary, understated decor, a restaurant and bar that are among the city's best, a small trendy spa, and an impressive fitness center and indoor pool (run by an outside company) define the experience. The location is just outside the city center, but within walking distance of both the English Market and the shopping hub of St. Patrick's Street.
Toasty Feature: Gas Lamps
There's nothing like cozy gas lighting to get you into the winter spirit. They may only provide figurative rather than literal warmth, but gas lamps create a warm, quaint vibe that offers a reprieve from blustery weather outside.
Find It At: Bushmills Inn, Northern Ireland
Bushmills Inn has served many different functions over the years -- including stints as a boarding house and bicycle factory -- but it began as a 17th century coaching inn, and was reopened as an inn once again in 1987. With cozy nooks lit up by peat fires and many traditional details throughout, guests may feel as though they have stepped back in time. Plus, The Gas Bar is still lit with traditional gaslight. If the lighting doesn't do the trick, the bar's extensive selection of Irish whiskey should help bring a glow to your cheeks.

I had my BA about a week and a half ago. 550cc high profile, silicon. I met with a doctor that told me I needed a breast lift, the surgeon who did my BA, told me that I didn't need a breast lift, and I was trying to avoid scarring, so I went through with just the augmentation. Now I'm regretting not getting the lift, and not only that, my breasts just look altogether deformed. My surgeon said be patient and they'll drop into place where their supposed to be, but I don't believe they are going to

My Breasts Are Uneven, and Just Look Deformed 1 Week PO. What Do I Do? (photo)
I agree with most of the expert posters and thanks for great photos. Bess to allow some more healing time. Also mild downward compression can be of benefit, but do ONLY with your chosen surgeon OK. I would like to see before photos if possible. I think you had an inferior pole contriction or tuberous deformity. A secondary operation is a real possibility but hard to advise at this early, early stage in recovery.

My breast implants don't look right!
Learn more: http://feelbeautiful.com
Still too early for breasts to settle
When implants are first inserted, they sit high up because your tissues are tight and gravity hasn't taken effect. Over time, natural tissue expansion occurs to allow the implants to fall into place. By this time, your breasts will have taken on a more natural contour, where the lower breasts become softer and rounder. Please wait at least four months for this to happen.

Early concerns after breast augmentation
It is certainly still much too early to make any definitive statements about your results. Typically it can take up to 3-6 months for subpectoral implants to settle into their final position. It also takes months for the skin to loosen and better accomodate the implants, especially in younger patients with good skin elasticity. Some plastic surgeons would recommend wearing a breast strap to push down on the implants. Also, implant displacement exercises may be advisable as well. You might consider discussing these issues with your plastic surgeon to get their input.
You look as expected this early after surgery

Uneven and "deformed" breasts one week post-op. Don't worry--things will change!
As others have stated, it is entirely too early to feel that this is what your final appearance is going to be. Your breasts most certainly will undergo significant change over the next few weeks and even months. So be patient for now. Really!
Your surgeon was probably right about your not needing a lift, but without preoperative photos or physical examination of your breasts, it really is impossible for any of us to definitively make that assertion. But for now, you are indeed high, tight, and swollen. This will change. Keep your activities low so you don't develop bleeding or capsular contracture, and follow your doctor's advice.
There are many well-trained and ABPS-certified plastic surgeons in Las Vegas. I hope your surgeon was one of them. Best wishes!

Breast augmentation -getting it right the first time
Without knowing what you looked like before surgery or exactly what was done at surgery it is not possible to say what you need to do now to correct the problem. Your posted photos show how implants that are centered well above the nipples and rectangular shaped breasts.
I suspect that you did not need a lift, the implants were placed under the muscle, the muscle was inadequately released at the inner lower quadrant, the implants are just too big for your body frame and time alone will not correct the issue. Despite all that it is too soon to judge the result and there is some possibility that the implants will in time migrate into a better position slightly lower on the chest.

My nose is very bulbous, undefined, and it has a droopy tip.
Can my Nose Become Smaller? (photo)
Doctor Answers 8
Can my Nose Become Smaller?
YES! But best to obtain only IN PERSON opinions from boarded docs in your city/area to address these issues.///
Candidate for rhinoplasty
You would be a good candidate for a rhinoplasty. You will need an evaluation by a plastic surgeon to discuss your goals.
Rhinoplasty for smaller nose and bulbous tip
The bulbous tip is best addressed with tip suturing techniques of the lower lateral cartilages to narrow and refine convex tip cartilages. Occasionally cartilage is removed as well when it's quite wide. It also important to make sure the tip balances with the remainder of the nose, as other procedures may be need to be performed such as a hump removal and osteotomies. Please see the link below to our bulbous tip rhinoplasty photo Gallery

Rhinoplasty for the bulbous tip.
A rhinoplasty can be done to correct your bulbous tip and reshape the rest of us so that is more balanced and aesthetically pleasing. Thick skinned noses require subcutaneous excess tissue to be removed, etc. choose a very experienced rhinoplasty surgeon for the best result.
Correcting a bulbous tip of the nose is what a tip vector plasty really does to improve and narrow the tip of the nose
While a tip vector plasty will give you the best shaped tip of your nose it is critical to evaluate the entire nose and develop a comprehensive surgical plan to bring the entire nose into a beautiful shape.
Learn more: http://drlentz.com
Tip refinement would help you
Most likely the width of your tip is due to the contour of your tip cartilages. Ideally, these cartilages should create a framework that takes on a soft triangular contour when the nose is viewed from the front and from the base. Reducing the outward curvature (convexity) of your tip cartilages would help to improve the definition and proportions of your tip. Please refer the video link to see my approach to create an ideal tip.

Man arrested after grandmother 'waterboarded' during burglary
A man has been arrested in connection with a burglary at a home in Surrey during which a 73-year-old woman was reportedly waterboarded and had boiling water poured on her arms.
Francoise Jansen, of St George's Hill, Weybridge, described the incident, which took place on the evening of Friday August 3, as 'sheer hell'.
The widow said she thought she was going die at the hands of the two masked burglars, who held her captive for several hours and threatened to cut off her fingers.
More than £150,000 worth of jewellery and personal items was stolen after she was forced to open a safe.
But after Mrs Jansen tried to press a panic button in her bedroom the burglars, who were dressed all in black and wearing balaclavas, poured scalding water over her arms as a punishment.
As well as being waterboarded she was tied to a radiator and suffered multiple injuries during a serious assault.
'I was consumed by fear,' Mrs Jansen told the Daily Mail. 'It was sheer hell and all I can remember is praying.'
Surrey police said a 31-year-old man from the Rookwood area was in custody on suspicion of aggravated burglary and enquiries were ongoing in relation to the incident.

How to Make Chicken Dumpling Casserole
- 1Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- 2Place boneless, skinless chicken breasts in sauce pan with enough water to cover the chicken. Bring to a boil, then turn off the heat; place a lid on your pot and allow to sit for 10-15 minutes to finish cooking.
- 3Remove chicken from stock (reserve the stock) and allow to cool, then shred the chicken.
When building the layered casserole, do not mix the layers.
- 4Layer 1 - In 9x13 or larger casserole dish, melt 1 stick of butter. Spread shredded chicken over butter. Sprinkle black pepper and dried sage over this layer. Note: If you want to serve this as a pot pie, add a layer of vegetables now.
- 5Layer 2 - In small bowl, mix milk and Bisquick. Slowly pour over chicken.
- 6Layer 3 - In medium bowl, whisk together 2 cups of the chicken stock (strained, if needed), chicken granules and soup. Once blended, slowly pour over the Bisquick layer. (Tip - Add some of the hot stock to the soup can to help melt the soup and get it all out of the can).
Bake time varies by oven and the size pan you decide to use, therefore, bake until the top is golden brown- approx. 50-60 minutes.

Warren Feeney admitted that Linfield may have produced their best performance of the season so far in Drumahoe, but he was stunned that his players failed to carry a stunning first half play into the second period against Institute.
Former N. Ireland international, Ivan Sproule, put the "Blues" in the driving seat in the 27th minute when Stephen Lowry set him up, but Linfield failed to add to that goal despite creating a plethora of gilt-edged scoring chances.
And, for their part, Institute looked a totally different side following the change of ends when, according to Paul Kee, a few home truths had to be pointed out in the dressing room at the break.
Veteran defender and 'Stute skipper, Paddy McLaughlin, saved the day for the Drumahoe men when he headed home Cormac Burke's precise delivery in the 86th minute to secure what was a deserved share of the spoils.
"Including our European games, this was the best we have played this season so far," insisted Feeney afterwards.
"We were excellent in the first half and, if the truth be told, we really could have been three or four goals to the good at the break but we failed to build on our narrow lead," he added.
"We knew Institute would come at us but, unfortunately, we failed to do the right things - the things we had been doing so well in the first half - and we got punished.
"That said, we also had chances after the break to win, but we failed to score that vital second goal."
"However, I can't take anything away from Institute, fair play to them, they battled and they got their goal as they were much better in the second half,!" added the 'Blues' boss.
He refused to get carried away and felt a draw was a fair result in the end.
"I see this as another point gained on the road and it's been difficult for us having to play all our games away from home at this moment in time.
"It will be great to get back to Windsor Park, but our unbeaten run has been extended and given Institute's second half performance, I think a point apiece is a fair result," concluded Feeney.
For 'Stute boss, Paul Kee, it's been an interesting week, especially after losing to Cliftonville at this venue last week having conceded an injury time winner.
"Full credit to Linfield, they certainly did a number on us," claimed Paul Kee afterwards.
"They did well to stop us from playing and their players deserve credit as they worked really hard and we didn't have any momentum in the first half which was frustrating.
"We couldn't get to grips with the game and, to be fair to them, they could so easily could have been two or three goals up at the break."
So how did he manage to turn things around?
"It was very simple, a few home truths had to be told in the dressing room. We had to grow up, man up and, thankfully we showed what we can do in the second half.
"The players were brave, they started to get on the ball and did what we asked them to do before the kick-off, play on the front foot," he answered.
"We then started to create chances. We hit the post before we got the equaliser and then we actually so close to winning it," smiled the 'Stute boss.
"Given the overall balance of play, they were clearly the better team in the first half but I felt we were the better after the break and I'm delighted to take a point from one of the top teams in the league.
"We're still finding our feet at this level, but we've played two of the top teams over the past two weekends and I don't think we've let ourselves down
"Linfield arrived here and, to be fair, gave us respect for the way we played against Cliftonville the previous week so, from our point of view, we must be prepared to replicate our second half performance every week," he insisted.

Are kids sucking up all your free time?
This is an interesting essay from the Washington Post that puts a twist on the tired old subject of helicopter parenting. Most articles focus on how bad it is for the kids, who get overly dependent and lack independence because Mom never leaves their side. Writer Margaret K. Nelson, author of Parenting Out of Control: Anxious Parents in Uncertain Times, argues that it's also bad for the mom. The endless hours spent previewing movies, helping with homework, escorting them to play dates and sitting on the sidelines of sports fields are the reason, Nelson argues, that hyper-involved women have more divorces, fewer friendships and non-existent free time.
She writes: According to sociologists Suzanne Bianchi, John Robinson and Melissa Milkie, adults in 2000 spent less time with their spouses than adults did in 1975, as they spent more time at work and more time with their children. The higher divorce rate among women with high-pressure careers could therefore be both a cause and a consequence of intense devotion to one's children: These mothers may find that the only reliable, and persistent, relationships are those with their kids.
I can definitely recognize myself in some of these statistics, finding it hard to remember the last time I went shopping with a girlfriend or had adults-only nights out or even just curled up with a book for a few hours and let the household chores wait. After stopping at the second birthday party of the day one recent Saturday, I whined that my kids have a better social life than I do. I thought it was a funny joke, but maybe that's really more sad than funny.

Birdcage Cake Made For My Mums Birthday In Septemberthis Was A 6 Cake And Was Over 10 Talli Wasnt Intending It To Turn Out This
Birdcage Cake made for my Mums birthday in September.
This was a 6" cake, and was over 10" tall!!!
I wasn't intending it to turn out this big, but it turned out to be on the large size, and to think I brought a dummy cake because I didn't think it was going to be tall enough…..have no idea what I was thinking!! Before I put on the decorations I was not loving this cake at all, but when it was finished it grew on me. Would love to do another one…but on a much smaller scale.
Bottom was Baileys White Chocolate Mud, middle and dome were Red Velvet cake, and all were layered and filled with white choc ganache.
My 5yr old sons review – "Cool mum, looks like a rocket ship landed in the garden" !!!!!

Car shows are different in Tijuana
"You do not have to babysit the people from leaning or touching the cars."
Mike Madriaga 2:30 p.m., Sept. 19
(Page 2 of 2)
Branzino al Limone, oven-roasted Pacific sea bass, might have been the evening's best dish had the fish been palatable. The piscine hunk looked like a fashion model -- tall, white, and flaky. But it tasted muddy and smelled "fishy," and sea bass is not a "fishy" species (like John Dory or mackerel). The bass is oven-roasted with a coating of Algerian spices, Moroccan-style preserved lemons, and Greek-style black and green olives. It's surrounded by couscous in herbed beurre blanc and roasted veggies (zucchini and eggplant in a thin tomato sauce). Even my couscous-hating boyfriend loved the way this kitchen prepared the grain, and I was impressed by the chef's mastery of North African flavors and techniques. I'd order this dish again, in the hope that next time I'd catch a fresher fish.
Acqua has no dedicated pastry chef, but the kitchen makes all the desserts. My favorite is a honey-orange ricotta cheesecake flavored with orange zest. It's topped with an orange juice glaze; the crust of ground pistachios is sweetened with honey. On the side is a puff of whipped cream and out-of-season strawberries. Somebody's nonna back in Italy must have invented this -- blow her a kiss. Berries aside, I'd put this sweet among the top three I've eaten this year.
We also tried something called Tartufo all'arancio, a dense chocolate-orange mousse that was sweeter than any of us could stand. "It tastes like Tootsie Rolls," said Marty. "No, Tootsie Rolls taste better," said Dave, pushing it away.
A lady at the next table, hearing us purr over our third dessert, leaned over to ask, "Is that the zamboni?" Marty managed not to laugh. "No," he said, "it's not a machine for surfacing ice rinks. It's zabaglione, whipped Marsala-egg custard." Traditionally served warm, here it's presented as a frozen zabaglione soufflé, served with passionfruit sorbet atop a bed of vanilla panna cotta. The combination is so refreshing, you might swear you hadn't just eaten a big Mediterranean meal.
Damaso Lee, executive chef of Trattoria Acqua, was born in Mexico City. "When I was a little kid in Mexico, we [my brothers and I] used to help my grandma cook at home. We went [with her] to the market every day to get fresh produce. She taught me the basics. When I came to America, I started working at Il Fornaio in Del Mar. I really loved it. It was different food, Italian, and I started getting more into Italian cuisine."
He worked there for nearly nine years. "Then I had the opportunity to get a scholarship to go to the CIA in the Napa Valley. I was there for a couple of months." Among his instructors were famed chefs Jean-Louis Palladin and Todd Humphries. "I had several different courses: Mediterranean cooking, French bistro cooking, a master class on game, poultry, and fish. The Mediterranean class was on Tunisian, Turkish, and Moroccan food -- that's where I learned to use those spices and to cook couscous from scratch. Meanwhile, I worked for Thomas Keller at the French Laundry for a couple of weeks; he was guiding me and answering my questions about techniques. Then I had a chance to work at Tra Vigne with Michael Chiarello. Keller told me, 'If you stay with me on the French cuisine, you'll learn a lot of techniques, but if you really are in the Italian business, you should work with Michael Chiarello.'
"When I came back to Acqua, I was working as a sous chef, but when the previous chef left for New York, [owner] Michael McGreath gave me the opportunity to be the chef here, five years ago."
Damaso and his brother Hugo are also responsible for overseeing younger sister restaurant Sofia's, which serves home-style Italian cooking in the Aventine courtyard a few miles north. "Every morning I go down to Sofia's, and after one, I come down to Acqua. I've got my chef de cuisine up there. On the weekends and during weeknight dinners I spend one hundred percent of my time at Acqua. I also do all the purchasing. We try to get everything locally to support our local growers. We make phone calls every day to the fish company and the produce company to find out what is in season."
For the game menus served every November, he went to Robert Mondavi Winery to learn about pairing wines to game meats. "It's easy to get game in the Napa Valley [but] hard to find in Southern California, and here I have to educate the staff to teach our customers that game is healthy and high in protein, low fat, raised with no hormones. When the game menu is over, after Thanksgiving we're doing a truffle dinner. It's something special for the season. I like to bring in new ingredients as I learn about them. I'm hoping to contribute to the elevation of the cuisine in San Diego restaurants."

"What has your company done to pave the path toward going green?""How have your actions helped the greater community?" "How has going green saved you money, jobs and improved lives?" These are 3 questions I've been asked to answer at an event the Congresswoman is holding at the Tech Museum of Innovation in Silicon Valley Monday morning. Several other companies will also be participating – Google, Sun Microsystems, Applied Materials, Echelon, Adobe, Xilinx as well as the City of San Jose and the County of Santa Clara, CA. While clearly weighted toward technology and California, I believe the answers apply to businesses everywhere. There is always a tendency at events like this for companies to come and rattle off the recent list of their environmental initiatives. Even we fall into that trap every once in a while. But, what's the real point here? Good companies have always had the environment or "green" as part of their business – whether in manufacturing, products or resource management. What's different now is that the business of business is green in one way or another. Every decision that affects resources – personal, material or financial – is an opportunity to drive this new green business agenda. I'm looking forward to learning from my colleagues that will be participating. In other Intel CSR news, our CSR Communications Manager, Suzanne Fallender is off to Boston to attend the CERES Conference (Intel is a Sponsor) and speak at the upcoming SIRAN (Social Investment Research Analysts Network) Spring Symposium on May 1st. Suzanne will be speaking candidly about our shareholder engagement process. While Gary Niekerk, our CSR Operations Manager heads to San Francisco to speak at the "Achieving Corporate Sustainability: Beyond the Green Corporation" Conference. His topic is interesting and related to the general thread of this post – Communicating Sustainability In A "Green World": A Case Study Of New Opportunity Or Risk? I actually wish I could be in 3 places at once, but technology hasn't gotten that far yet. I'm also still looking for your input to my last post – Two Questions.

O'Connor girls playoff-bound after win over Warren
Panthers don't put Warren away until the final buzzer.
Published 11:22 pm, Wednesday, February 2, 2011
With Jay and Stevens having already won earlier to clinch the top two seeds in District 27-5A, O'Connor knew it had a chance to sew up the third with a win over Warren.
The Panthers just didn't know how sloppy the process would be. In a turnover-plagued game, O'Connor downed Warren 42-37 at Taylor Gymnasium on Wednesday night to ensure a playoff berth.
"We weren't as focused as we should have been," junior forward Ebony Easter said. "But we worked it out and got the win."
Easter came into the game averaging 16 points but was held to nine until a pair of last-second free throws gave her 11.
Sports Channel
"They were guarding the middle really well," Easter said. "I wasn't able to get the easy layups I normally do."
Her teammates picked up the slack with senior Ayo Ogunfeitimi scoring a game-high 12. Senior Laura Cotrino added seven despite playing essentially one-handed due to a left hand injury.
The Panthers (16-14, 9-5) only trailed for the first few minutes of the game but never were in complete control, even with Warren going through a pair of long scoring droughts.
The Warriors went scoreless for the first four minutes of the second and fourth quarters yet managed to cut the lead to three in the last minute of the game.
Warren guard Breon Brothers hit a wide-open 3-pointer to make it a 40-37 O'Connor with 28 seconds remaining. The Warriors had a chance for the tie after a missed Panthers free throw, but Brothers' 3-point attempt clanged off the back rim, and Ogunfeitimi pulled down the rebound.
Guard Shakelia Coleman led Warren with 11 points.
The Warriors (17-16, 7-7) fell into fifth place in the district and need a win against fourth-place Taft (18-12, 8-6) on Saturday to keep their playoff hopes alive.
As for the Panthers, they know they need to clean things up before the playoffs begin.
"If we play as well as we can, we'll do pretty well," Easter said. "Even if we don't have a ton of talent, we fight through it with heart."

Labels are expected to hold up against environmental factors like water, ice and hot or cold temperatures. When they don't, it can reflect poorly on the product.

PESHAWAR: It was clearly a case where the judiciary wishes it did not have to say to the government: "We told you so."
At a hearing of various cases on Monday, Peshawar High Court Chief Justice Dost Muhammad Khan expressed his exasperation at the government's failure to launch an inquiry into the airworthiness of all public and private aircraft in the country's domestic aviation sector in the aftermath of the AirBlue tragedy two years ago.
"Our orders were defied, but if they had been followed, dozens of innocent lives could have been saved," said the chief justice, referring to the recent Bhoja Air Flight B4213 crash, which killed 127 people.
It appears that the chief justice was not actually hearing any cases related to either the AirBlue or the Bhoja Air tragedies, but decided to take up the issue with the government's lawyers on what was the first working day of the court after the most recent crash.
Justice Khan reminded the government that in the aftermath of the AirBlue crash, the Peshawar High Court had ordered the defence ministry to conduct a comprehensive inquiry into the flying capacity of all planes in the domestic aviation sector within 90 days, an order that the government pleaded unconvincingly that it had complied with.
"Not even a single step has so far been taken. What is the government doing?" asked the chief justice. "Those orders were meant to prevent incidents like this [Bhoja Air crash]."
The order had been issued on February 21, 2012, during a hearing of the case in which relatives of the victims of the AirBlue crash were suing the airline for negligence and incompetence. The Peshawar High Court had issued the orders to the Civil Aviation Authority – the highest aviation regulator in the country – and the Ministry of Defence, which is the single largest shareholder in the state-owned Pakistan International Airlines. Both authorities had been ordered to hire international experts to assess the capabilities of all planes in the country.
"The cheapest thing in our country is human life," said the embittered chief justice.

An Alexandria man was cited Monday for trying to bring a loaded handgun through a security checkpoint at Dulles International Airport.
The TSA stated the man, bound for Paris, tried to bring a loaded 9 mm Beretta handgun through security in his carry-on luggage.
The man was cited on a local weapons charge.
Firearms aren't allowed in carry-on bags but are permitted in checked luggage if the weapon is unloaded, properly packed and declared to the airline.

SHERIFF Hutton Bridge lost second place in the Hunters York & District Senior Cricket League premier division on Saturday - but it could have been worse but for the weather.
With both their opening batsmen unavailable, Sheriff Hutton Bridge's batting looked fragile at Hull Zingari as they slipped to 98-5 before heavy rain caused an abandonment.
Easingwold jumped back over them thanks to a good home win over fourth-placed Beverley Town.
Leaders Woodhouse Grange maintained their strong title defence, though, as their top-order batsmen rattled up 255-2 before declaring against bottom-placed Dunnington. Chris Bilton powered his way to 105 not out, with opener Nick Hadfield making 77, Andy Bilton 33 and Mike Hattee 23 not out.
It wasn't enough for victory, as Dunnington bagged a draw at 151-7.
Stamford Bridge hustled out hosts Studley Royal for a paltry 47, and the 30 points keeps them in touch with the pace-setting group.
Luke Robinson returned superb figures of 6-16 and Dom Rhodes grabbed 3-29. Dan Harper then made 30 not out as Stamford romped to a 10-wicket victory to comprehensively put paid to Studley's unbeaten record.
Pickering's promotion hopes were dented as they lost their top-of-the-table match at home to leaders Heworth by seven wickets.
Dave Greenlay made 71 and Chris Nicholls 31 in a decent Pickering total of 215-7, but Heworth's batsmen hit back with 216-3 thanks to Neil Johnson's 64, Oliver Sherwood's 59 not out and Salman Syed's 48.
Malton & Old Malton could do neither themselves nor Pickering a favour as they lost by seven wickets to the Pikes' promotion rivals, Sessay.
Relegation candidates Malton were bowled out for 93 as Richard Till took 3-18 in six overs, and Mark Wilkie then made 53 and Joe Watson 26 in Sessay's successful response.
Sessay now lie second, 34 points behind Heworth, with Pickering a further 13 points in arrears.
The fourth side in the promotion reckoning, Acomb, gained a draw at Goole with their last pair at the crease, just 11 runs short of victory.
Folkton & Flixton enjoyed a close two-wicket win against Selby.
Matt Hoyle hit 81 and Tom Rich 46 in a Selby total of 173-8, Jamie Nesfield capturing 3-32 and Harry Walmsley 3-35.
Walmsley then hit 59 and Neil Elvidge 37 as Folkton crossed the winning line, despite Tom Collins taking 4-32.
Hovingham II's hopes of closing in on the promotion pack in division four central was aided by Ryedale neighbours Duncombe Park II.
The Helmsley outfit enjoyed a big win over second-placed Civil Service, leaving fifth-placed Hovingham, who were without a game on Saturday, still in touch, 27 points behind.
Anthony Walker made 44 and Scott Plowman 40 as Duncombe reached 177 - Nick Claxton the one bowler to keep them in check with an excellent 5-15.
Ian Tessier then made 32 but Service were bowled out 76 runs short of their target.
John Armitage made 68 to lead Sheriff Hutton II to an advantageous draw against New Earswick II.
Sheriff totalled 178-8 with John Routledge claiming 3-26 but his New Earswick side could only reply with 106-8 as V Coan took 4-15. Paul Coull made 40 and A Pepper 30.

It's no secret that many young people share a sense of invincibility and joie de vivre that insulates them from the harsher side of reality.
That innocence makes it all the more difficult for youth to deal with a sudden loss. Consider Riverview High's Morgan Leigh Rodgers, who lost her friend Brooke Coats to a tragic bull riding accident this year.
"She was one of the most caring, beautiful, unique people I will ever meet in my entire life, and I'm forever grateful to have met her," said Rodgers, fighting back tears. "After she passed away my entire school was in a state of shock because no one could understand how someone so amazing could leave this world in such a tragic and sudden way."
Rodgers, an aspiring actress who balances a rigorous course load with extracurricular activities, shared the spotlight with nine other outstanding students at the Athena Society's annual Young Women of Promise luncheon April 7.
Each year since 1981, the prestigious group of female leaders has turned an eye to the future and honored 10 outstanding high school juniors.
The society asked each honoree to stand and speak about one of her proudest accomplishments, no easy task given that the room was full of judges, chief executive officers, elected officials, doctors and other successful women.
I've treasured the opportunity to write about many of the winners over the years, but I can't recall a previous luncheon at the Centre Club containing, to paraphrase Leto High's Jocelyn Macho, so many complex and beautiful emotions.
• • •
Rodgers and two other honorees, Durant High's Shelby Paige Terihay and Robinson High's Sophia Tahiri, were all winners who found leadership in their resilient approach to losing a loved one.
With Riverview High students struggling to cope with Brooke's death, Rodgers partnered with classmate Laura Robino to stage a variety show for Brooke's family. The show also benefited the family of East Bay graduate Jason Rodriguez, who was gunned down in February while sitting in his car in Orlando where he attended community college.
The show raised more than $1,600, but Rodgers took away a more intangible value from the effort.
"We were able to show those families how much support they had from the community," Rodgers said. "A lot of times, when someone is going through grief like that, they think they're alone and completely cut off from the rest of the world.
"Having those families there and seeing them looking back at the crowd, I know that it made a difference in their lives."
Like Rodgers, Shelby Terihay also grew emotional when talking about the death of her cousin Sarah Geltemeyer, who succumbed to cancer in May 2009. Terihay shared that even when Sarah battled the disease, she displayed concern for others.
"When we would come to see her, she would always be helping all the children on her ward," said Terihay, a member of the National Honor Society. "She was so selfless."
To honor her memory, Terihay turned to her friends at Durant, Newsome, Strawberry Crest and Bloomingdale high schools and organized a charitable dance. The price of admittance was one toy.
Terihay and her friends ended up delivering more than 300 toys to the children on Geltemeyer's former ward at Children's Hospital of Southwest Florida in Fort Myers.
"All the nurses on her ward were crying and they were just so impressed that people cared this much to help patients," Terihay said.
Plant City High's Shelby Johnson didn't offer a tribute to deceased friend, but her presentation was no less emotional. She fought back tears as she spoke of her involvement in Best Buddies, a group that fosters friendships for the developmentally and learning disabled.
"It's a big deal because he's like my little brother," Johnson said of her buddy, Chris. "His dad left him and left his two baby brothers with him.
"Now he's going to college. He's just an amazing kid. He has the biggest heart."
In addition to her volunteer work, Johnson succeeds in sports (golf, basketball) and music (viola, piano) while maintaining high grades.
Other winners are Jamila Blake, Wharton; Ana Herbst, Academy of the Holy Names; Cynthia Anne Matar, Tampa Prep; Alison Preston, Plant; and Jasmine Santiago, Middleton.
All the winners found ways to inspire on a day they were supposed to receive inspiration. Underneath their youthful innocence lies all the intangibles needed to conquer the realities they will face in the future.
It's what makes them so promising.
That's all I'm saying.

A dedicated ESPNHS team managed this past fall's Gatorade Boys Soccer Player of the Year selection process, resulting in winners based on the program's three pillars: athletic production and impact in the 2011 season, high academic achievement and exemplary personal character.
For his 29 fellow Gatorade State Fall Boys Soccer Player of the Year winners, click here.
THE WINNER: Robby Lentine
School: Windham (Maine)
Grade: Senior
Position: Midfielder
Height: 5-foot-8
Athletic achievement: Lentine scored 21 goals and passed for 10 assists this past season, leading the Eagles (16-2) to the Class A state championship. An All-New England selection by the National Soccer Coaches Association of America, he was also named First Team All-State and the Maine Telegram Player of the Year.
Academic excellence: Lentine has maintained an A average in the classroom.
Exemplary character: A Spanish tutor in his school, he has volunteered locally on behalf of youth soccer programs and a summer camp for children with life-threatening illnesses.
"Lentine seems to be able to take care of anything at any time," said Rocco Frenzilli, head coach of rival Portland (Maine). "Last year he was instrumental for them defensively, then this year he stepped up and took over more of an offensive role. He's the kind of kid who will make you pay if you don't watch him at all times."
THE FUTURE: Lentine will attend Virginia's Roanoke College this fall, where he will play soccer.

10 Tools Every Vegan Kitchen Needs
Creating a meal from scratch can seem daunting, but preparing a delicious and beautiful meal is made easier with the proper kitchen gadgets.
One of the easiest ways to adopt a healthy lifestyle is to start cooking for yourself, but doing so can be challenging for those who don't have the proper kitchen tools. But as a vegan, what tools do you need? We've answered this question by highlighting 10 of our vegan kitchen must-haves to help you assemble healthy meals in a matter of minutes. With the addition of these gadgets, we're confident that you'll become a master chef in no time.
1. Juicer
Vegetable juices can be the most nutritious component to a healthy vegan diet, which is why a device such as the Omega Juice Cube is essential. This compact juicer chews through plant fibers with a convenient storage cavity, providing a way to get your digestive enzymes with an abundance of vitamins and minerals. Plus, the Juice Cube operates at low speeds of 80 RPMs, meaning there's no foaming, no clogging and no heat build-up. Beyond fruit and vegetables, this multi-purpose kitchen tool can also make nut butters, nut milk, soy milk, and baby food and grind coffee beans and herbs.
2. Chopper and adjustable slicer
Instead of spending hours making sure every cut is equal, tools such as the All-in-1 Chopper & Adjustable Slicer make it easy and efficient for home cooks to dice vegetables and fruit. The product allows users to create uniform slices thanks to settings for julienne, chop, dice, cut, and grate. The efficiency and usefulness of this product is especially convenient for someone who cooks primarily with vegetables, as this tool allows users to slice fast and safe with an easy cleanup.
3. Tofu Press
Made for the vegan foodie, the TofuXpress transforms tofu into a firm texture by removing liquid from the tofu. After the water is removed, simply marinate your tofu to your liking and enjoy! Even better? The TofuXpress can also be used to press vegetables and make vegan cheeses, yogurt cheese, and Greek-style yogurt.
4. Spiralizer
Transform healthy starches, vegetables, and fruit into noodle options in seconds with The Inspiralizer. This easy-to-use gadget has four different noodle shape options (ribbon, fettuccine, linguine, and spaghetti) to achieve your desired texture, consistency, and taste. For recipe inspiration, Inspiralized.com shares recipes organized by vegetable for easy access.
5. Avocado cutter
Avocados are a delicious source of protein in many vegan kitchens. Thankfully, the Avoquado tool is equipped to cut, pit, slice, and scoop the green fruit safely and quickly. Perfect when preparing guacamole, making avocado toast, or when adding avocado to salads, this tool eliminates the need for knives and keeps your hands clean.
6. Food processor
When preparing plant- and wheat-based meals, it's necessary to have a tool that makes chopping vegetables and preparing dough easier. This is where the 11 Cup Performance Dicing Food Processor comes in, as the product is ideal for those who want to take raw almonds and turn them into almond butter or for those lazy folks who don't want to spend their afternoons chopping vegetables. Within minutes, users can enjoy items such as nut butter, hummus, pesto, brownies, and ice cream, and who doesn't love that?
7. Knife set
When preparing food at home, one of the most vital tools in your kitchen is a good set of knives. The Ronco Six Star+ 30-Piece Cutlery Set with Knife Block offers a comprehensive array of kitchen knives for slicing vegetables, trimming herbs, and using the chef's knives for those tougher tasks such as cutting butternut squash and melons. Among the knives included in the set are the Ronco Rocker, designed with a curved blade to make slicing and dicing easier, and the Six-Star Showtime, with a raised handle to prevent your hand from hitting the cutting board.
8. Frozen herb keeper and mill
The Herbcicle Plus, a frozen herb keeper and mill, extends the life of fresh herbs while cutting back on waste by serving as something of a spice rack for your freezer. As well as storing fresh herbs for a later date, the device also has a built-in grinder, making it an all-in-one seasoning tool that can be used to season any dish.
9. Sous vide
Sous vide—a popular trend closely associated with modernist cooking techniques--uses precise temperature control so vegetables retain their nutrients and use less fat without sacrificing flavor. Using a device such as the Sansaire Sous Vide eliminates anxiety about cooking time as foods won't overcook--simply set your machine before heading out for work or school that day, and come home to a nutritious, vegan tempeh dish that's ready as soon as you walk through the door. Plus, you can make whole meals with the Sansaire with no cookware to clean afterwards.
10. Cookware set
The 12 Piece Tri-Ply Stainless-Steel Cookware Set with Stainless Steel Lids allows cooks to steam vegetables and make homemade sauces and crispy tofu with ease. In addition to evenly distributing heat when cooking, these stainless steel lids lock in the moisture when preparing steamed dishes. Furthermore, each piece in this set provides options for preparing an array of foods such as stir-fries, veggie burgers, and grains.

Does that mean Roberson is struggling in his first college spring practice?
Not exactly.
"Look at the games Tre played in against good competition," offensive coordinator Seth Littrell says. "You do that and you've got to grow up fast. He's beyond his years. He's very competitive. He doesn't back down from anything. That's what you want to see from a quarterback and a leader."
And yet …
Flash-back to a recent scrimmage. The sun dazzles above Memorial Stadium. Roberson's passes do not. He is short on some, wide on others. He completes his share, but not at the rate coach Kevin Wilson wants.
Last season Roberson was a 57.0-percent passer. Wilson wants it closer to 70 percent and Roberson is not there yet.
"We need a guy who can get us in the end zone," Wilson says.
Roberson understands. He is a dual-threat quarterback capable of making a big play on every snap. But he has to learn offensive nuances and defensive vulnerabilities. So he works with Kevin Johns, the assistant offensive coordinator who coaches quarterbacks and receivers to help foster an in-sync atmosphere crucial for success.
"Coach Johns has brought a lot of intelligence," Roberson says. "He has me in the film room a lot. Understanding all that slows down the game a lot. I'm getting better at understanding where receivers will be, understanding defenses and what spots will be open compared to what the defense is."
Rather than run specific routes, Roberson says, receivers now seek holes in the coverage and settle in. Roberson has to read the defense, know where the holes will be and deliver on target. This requires precise timing with the receivers. If everybody is on the same page, the offense is relentlessly efficient.
"It's just like baseball," Roberson says, "just pitch and catch."
If not, well …
Competition is here, and if it no longer involves Dusty Kiel and Edward Wright-Baker, who have moved on as so many players have in the transition from Bill Lynch to Wilson, that doesn't mean that it isn't real.
Cam Coffman arrived as a late newcomer out of Arizona Western Community College. He led Arizona Western to the junior college national title game, throwing for 291 yards and four touchdowns. For the season he threw for 2,244 yards, 21 touchdowns and six interceptions while completing 61.4 percent of his passes.
He brings, Littrell says, a rare toughness to the position.
"He competes in drills most quarterbacks wouldn't be involved with, and he's not just competing, but winning them."
Coffman is more consistent in the scrimmage, and Wilson uses it as a coaching point entering Saturday's spring game.
"Cam had a couple of drives, got into a little rhythm, got it going, got some communication, some play calling, hit a couple of shots," Wilson says. "Tre needs to do that. He needs to be a little more consistent. We're working hard on the passing game and he's still a little errant on plays you'd like to be more high percentage."
Wilson and Littrell have invoked the pass-heavy spirit of Mike Leach, the former Texas Tech coach known for his throw-it-around approach, as well as Wilson's own pass-happy instincts.
"We're keeping it simple and consistent," Littrell says. "A lot of the plays and route combinations are already in place. It's just different tweaks and getting the players to understand leverage and gaps and where you want them to be and getting the receivers and the quarterback together.
"You've got to understand Tre is a young guy. The last six games last season he was playing as a true freshman in a very multiple system. He's a lot more comfortable and understands it a lot better. It's getting those guys on the same page."
Wilson says if IU throws 50 passes in a game, 30 should be "almost guarantees — a lot of bubbles and screens and quick hits and high percentages. You're not laboring on easy throws. You take a two- to three-yard pass play and maybe get five to seven yards. We should be like 30-for-30 or 28-for-30 there."
The remaining 20 passes would be deeper and more difficult.
"If you hit a third of them, or maybe half, you're still completing 67 percent overall," Wilson says. "That's getting high."
And if things break down, Roberson brings the running dimension. He rushed for 426 yards last season while throwing for 937.
"I like to do both, but I like to pass first," he says. "If the pass is not there, I'll run it."
Littrell is fine with that.
"If running the quarterback is what we're good at, we'll see a lot of that. It's very simple. I want to be great at what we do. If that's running the quarterback, we'll do that. I don't have anything against that. The only thing is you don't want to get him hurt. What's most important is winning games."
That's the only guarantee you get.

Brendan Shanahan has spoken for the first time this season, and that's not good news for Brayden Schenn and the Philadelphia Flyers.
The Flyers forward was suspended one game Wednesday for his hit on New Jersey's Anton Volchenkov in the Devils' 3-0 win over the winless Flyers on Tuesday night.
Shanahan explained that the supplemental discipline comes from the fact that Schenn charged Volchenkov, and then launched himself into the air to deliver the hit. The act of launching himself also led Schenn to make contact with Volchenkov's head.
Schenn will only get one game, as he's not a repeat offender and Volchenkov didn't suffer an injury on the play. The one-game ban will cost Schenn more than $4,700.
See the hit and Shanahan's first video explanation of the season below.

The Sox end a streak, Bckett throws a no-no, and Springer explodes, plus much more from the weekend and what to watch today.
The Memorial Day Weekend Takeaway

Taking another look at a deal that was immediately considered, by many, an easy Boston victory.
A narrative about last August's Red Sox and Dodgers trade has grown up, certainly in Boston and to a lesser extent in the national press. Essentially, the Dodgers foolishly helped the Red Sox by taking a bunch of expensive garbage off their hands. The Red Sox gladly took advantage of the Dodgers, passing off said garbage while also acquiring two top pitching prospects in Allen Webster and Rubby De La Rosa. Weighed down by their expensive Boston detritus, the Dodgers now languish in last place while the Red Sox, freed from these obligations, have floated towards the top of their division. In short, win for Boston, loss for Los Angeles. But I'm not so sure that's the case.
When the trade was made the players headed to Los Angeles were looked at as under-performing and expensive. That's mostly because they were. Carl Crawford had played 161 games over two seasons for Boston, producing just over a win in the process, and had followed that up by undergoing Tommy John surgery. Adrian Gonzalez was in the midst of his worst season since his first in San Diego, and was supposedly one of the organizers of a meeting with the front office to complain about manager Bobby Valentine. In retrospect it's hard to fault Gonzalez for that one, though the optics aren't great. Josh Beckett had taken his reputation from World Series hero to clubhouse cancer and added the cherry on top of a five-plus ERA. Nick Punto was who cares I don't know why he was included in the trade. Point is, the players Boston sent west were not at the peak of their trade value, yet L.A. took them, their full contracts, and handed over two pitching prospects to boot.

Seven years later, the book still isn't closed on the mega-deal between Boston and Florida.
After the 2005 season, Red Sox GM Theo Epstein donned a gorilla costume and snuck undetected out of Fenway Park. Going back centuries, this is how Epsteins quit their jobs. A few months later owner John Henry coaxed Epstein back to work. (He wore, as is the family custom, an alligator outfit). While he was gone, the Red Sox' reins were held jointly by three people: Jed Hoyer, now general manager of the Cubs under Epstein; Ben Cherington, Epstein's eventual successor as general manager in Boston; and Bill Lajoie, a veteran front office man and former player who ran the Tigers in the mid-to-late '80s. Despite persistent rumors that Epstein would come back, the Red Sox didn't sit around waiting. While Mark Loretta and top prospect Andy Marte were intriguing acquisitions, the group's crowing achievement was sending Hanley Ramirez, Anibal Sanchez, Harvey Garcia, and Jesus Delgado to Florida for Josh Beckett, Guillermo Mota, and Mike Lowell. It was a polarizing trade at the time and remains one to this day.
This past summer, seven seasons after the trade was consummated, an ending of sorts occurred. The Dodgers acquired both Ramirez and Beckett from Miami and Boston, respectively, while Miami dealt Sanchez to Detroit. Thus, as the 2013 season dawns, all of the players in the deal have moved on from their acquiring teams. This seems like the perfect time to look back at the deal.
August 29, 2012 5:00 am
The Dodgers' 2013 payroll is already around $200 million. Is the Dodgers' 2013 roster a good roster?
You know all about the money. The Dodgers' new ownership group has taken on the ungodly sum of $260 million in contracts from the Red Sox, and $400 million in total salary obligations (including acquisitions and re-signings). These figures are wholly abstract; they're so vast that our brains can't even process them. Us normal folk have no frame of reference.
There's no question that the moves Colletti and company have made improve the team in the short term. Hanley Ramirez and Adrian Gonzalez are massive upgrades over Dee Gordon and James Loney. Shane Victorino is better than the three-headed left-field monster of Tony Gwynn, Jr., Juan Rivera, and Bobby Abreu. In a tight National League West race, these late additions might be enough to put the Dodgers over the top. And once a team reaches the playoffs, we all know that just about anything can happen.

Matt goes beyond the obvious and processes the Mega-Trade from Boston's perspective.
As you're certainly aware, the Red Sox and Dodgers pulled off the super-crazy extreme mega-trade of this or any other century last Friday night. BP's own R.J. Anderson and Kevin Goldstein already delved into the specifics of the deal, but if I may be permitted, I'd like to share some further thoughts.

In one of the biggest trades in modern baseball history, the Dodgers would add an entire team payroll while the Red Sox would tear down a team that was supposed to be great.
August 14, 2012 5:00 am
Josh Beckett isn't the ace he was in 2007, but what about him has changed over the past five seasons?
In 2007, Josh Beckett finished second in the AL Cy Young voting. He led the league with 20 wins. He was a 4.8 PWARP player, good for third in MLB. He struck out 8.7 batters per nine innings and finished with 194 punchouts.
Fast forward to 2012. Beckett's win-loss record is 5-9; more importantly, his walk rate is up, and his strikeout rate is down. He's been worth 0.5 PWARP, good for 174th in baseball.
August 2, 2012 9:50 am
Before we can talk about what the Red Sox can do, we must figure out what the Red Sox are.
By July 31st, teams usually have a good sense of how their season is going. Some are doing well. Some aren't. In either case that certainty, unwelcome as it may be in the latter case, makes decisions easier. First place teams are "buyers," last place teams are sellers. As a GM you know that it's time to bolster the major-league roster, or conversely, that it's just not happening this year. Time to sell off some pieces and live to fight another year. Things are easy when it's that simple.
It gets stickier when teams are in between those extremes. This is a land where cogent arguments for both buying and selling exist. You could even argue coherently for doing nothing and not be burned at the stake. Mostly though, it's a dangerous land, one where the wrong decisions can haunt a franchise for years.

Josh Beckett's alternating good and bad seasons resembles the career of a former major leaguer.
On Tuesday—his 32nd birthday, coincidentally—Josh Beckett fired seven innings of four-hit shutout ball against the Mariners, taking advantage of one of the league's weak-sister offenses to rack up a season-high nine strikeouts. The outing pared Beckett's ERA by exactly a run, from 5.97 to 4.97, and more importantly, it allowed him to put an embarrassing sequence of events in the rear-view mirror. The Red Sox had scratched Beckett from his May 5 start due to a stiff latissimus dorsi muscle; the decision was made three days in advance because the Sox wanted to prevent a minor injury from getting worse. On the day of his next turn, a report surfaced that Beckett had played a round of golf the day after the announcement—hardly beyond the pale for a pitcher between starts, but questionable conduct for a player who was supposed to be recuperating.

Andrew Bailey will be hitting the surgical table soon, a pitcher finds extra discomfort while vomiting, and the AL East bullpens suddenly look much thinner.
Andrew Bailey, Boston Red Sox (Right Thumb Surgery)
Major acute ligament injuries in the thumb can almost always be attributed to a specific incident. The player may not remember the exact play, but in the following days there will be bruising, swelling, and/or pain. True acute injuries do not just hide and then pop back up 10 days later without something new to aggravate the injury. Bailey was apparently able to pitch a few more times before he felt pain while showering.

Which players do the BP staff expect will come back to the earthly realm this season?
April 15, 2011 9:00 am
Josh Beckett may have started this season as the Red Sox' number four starter, but he still hopes to lead them to a pennant.
Josh Beckett entered this season as almost an afterthought in the Red Sox's starting rotation. The right-hander was no longer considered the ace, having ceded that designation last year to left-hander Jon Lester. When manager Terry Francona set up his rotation to begin this season, Beckett had fallen to No. 4 behind Lester, Clay Buchholz, and John Lackey, and ahead of only the perennially disappointing Daisuke Matsuzaka.

Liverpool v Arsenal key battles: Jamie Carragher v Marouane Chamakh
Liverpool host Arsenal in the biggest match of the opening weekend of the Premier League, with fans from both sides looking for signs of better things to come.
New Reds boss Roy Hodgson is likely to hand starts to summer signings Joe Cole and Christian Poulsen , but is set to name Fernando Torres on the bench as the Spain striker only recently returned to training after suffering a groin injury in the World Cup final.
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has indicated that Cesc Fabregas and Robin van Persie will be used as substitutes after being given an extended summer break following their involvement in the World Cup final.
With injury doubts about Denilson and Abou Diaby, England new boy Jack Wilshere could be handed a first Premier League start for the Gunners.
The match will also provide Arsenal fans with a first opportunity to see summer signings Marouane Chamakh and Laurent Koscielny in competitive action.
So, what are the key battles which will decide the game?
Jamie Carragher v Marouane Chamakh
Carragher showed signs of being past his best last season and during the World Cup, but the Liverpool stalwart's positioning and physical presence mean he still poses a challenge to any centre forward.
Morocco international Chamakh, who joined the Gunners on a free transfer after his Bordeaux contract expired, is a powerful striker who will add an aerial threat to Arsenal's pretty attacking play.
He looks made for Premier League football, but that theory will be given a thorough examination by Carragher at Anfield.
Joe Cole v Andrey Arshavin
Cole will be looking to prove that his move to Anfield is about more than money, while Reds fans will be searching for evidence that his career is not in decline following a disappointing spell towards the end of his Chelsea career.
Arshavin may also feel he has a point to prove, after losing his form in the second half of last season and seeing Wenger try to sign Cole during the summer.
The Russian has fond memories of Anfield after scoring four times in a 4-4 draw there in 2009 and while a similar feat is unlikely, he will be hoping to at least eclipse Cole in the battle of the creative midfielders.
Steven Gerrard v Laurent Koscielny
Having once again committed his future to the Reds, Gerrard will be determined to get off to a strong start and reproduce the form he showed for England in midweek.
Wenger has warned that Koscielny, a £10 million capture from Lorient, faces a baptism of fire on his Premier League debut – and it's easy to see why.
Dealing with the goalscoring threat Gerrard poses from his preferred role behind the lone striker has proved difficult for many of the leading central defenders in England.
If Koscielny can keep Gerrard quiet it would perhaps indicate that Arsenal have solved their defensive problems, but trying to mark the Liverpool skipper could prove to be a nerve-shredding experience.

The Dropbox camera upload prompt pops up every time you plug a phone, camera or other storage device in to your computer. I charge my phone using a USB cord plugged into my computer, and no matter how many times I've unchecked "Automatically…" and told Dropbox "Never for this device" it still wants to pop up in my face and ask me about syncing my photos. Enough already! I just disabled the feature entirely. Here's what you can do to turn it off too.
Disable the Dropbox Camera Auto Upload Prompt
Right click the Dropbox icon from your System Tray and select the Preferences.
In the Preferences window click on Change AutoPlay Settings.
This will opens up Windows AutoPlay settings. Scroll down to the Pictures category and then change it to Take No Action from the drop down menu.
When that is done, it won't pester you anymore with requests to sync your photos.
If you want a compromise that doesn't completely disable the feature, set Pictures to "Ask me every time" and then you'll have the option to open the Dropbox Camera Uploader when you connect.
Is Dropbox Camera Upload still bugging you?
If the above fix didn't work, it may be because you're running an experimental version of Dropbox. In one instance I had to disable the automatic sync request. I had to download Dropbox from the home page and downgrade it to the release version as the experimental build was causing problems.
You can check which version you have by hovering your mouse over the Dropbox icon in your system tray. In this case I have version 1.4.7 installed, which isn't a stable build.
To find out what the current version is, go to the Dropbox Release Notes page and the latest date of a Stable build is the latest version. The latest version is always available for download from the main Dropbox.com home page. Although a bit confusing, at the time of writing 1.4.17 was the current release version, and 1.4.7 was experimental.
