Manalapan, NJ – Celebration 20 will offer an opportunity to reflect on the accomplishments of Chabad of Western Monmouth County during the past 20 years and look ahead to projects that are being planned for the future. The gala journal dinner celebrating two decades of service will take place at the Excelsior, Route 9, Manalapan, on June 4.
In addition, the event will acknowledge several guests of honor whose support and efforts have benefited community endeavors on many levels.
David Findel, CEO of Financial Resources, Marlboro, is an active supporter of the Ari Kraut Friendship Circle, which extends a helping hand to families who have children with special needs, and involves them in a full range of Jewish and social experiences.
In addition to supporting Chabad programs for many years, honorees Terri and Avi Sibony's three children have been active volunteers in the Friendship Circle's program of pairing teenage volunteers with children who have special needs. They will be honored along with their fellow adult and youth volunteers during the event.
Rabbi Avraham and Zisa Bernstein, Freehold Township, will be honored in the "bar mitzvah" year of their service to the community. The Bernsteins moved to western Monmouth County in January 1994 to help expand Chabad outreach programs in the community. In addition to serving as program director at Chabad House and camp director at Gan Israel Day Camp, rabbi Bernstein and Mrs. Bernstein serve as the Chabad rabbi and rebbetzin for the Freehold Jewish community.
A special tribute will be made to the Malavsky family, whose generosity has enabled Chabad to dedicate a new building to serve the needs of Chabad of Ocean County in loving memory of Cantor Shmuel and Harriet Malavsky.
According to a press release, exposing youth to the beauty and joys of Judaism is central to the efforts of Chabad. In addition to involving the children in hands-on holiday programs, Chabad runs a monthly bat mitzvah club and weekly youth zone and mishmor youth clubs.
Looking to the future, Chabad hopes to establish a permanent site for Camp Gan Israel, as well as a center for Jewish life that would serve all segments of the Jewish community, with a focus on youth. One of the major goals of the upcoming dinner is to establish a fund for these projects.
To participate in the 20th anniversary dinner and journal, log on to the Chabad Internet Web site at Chabadwmc.org or call (732) 972-3687.

Since being married, I have never been alone with them, never had any moments that were private, never deleted a text message or anything, never had a conversation I was not comfortable having in front of my wife, and if a conversation ever headed in a "bad" direction, I have always been quick to say how nothing comes before my family and if the friendship was to continue respect to my family must come first.
All that said, my WW is now overly jealous of these women and is telling me they have to end. I am at a loss. I have done nothing wrong. I have protected my family. But, because SHE did something wrong, now I have to eliminate some very old friends? Not sure if I am asking anything or just venting...but this sucks! I have so much to get over and then something like this tops it off.
Anyone else been in this situation? Is it normal for her to now question MY fidelity? UGH
As far as I'm concerned - tough. I'm not giving up friendships that ARE supportive of our M and R simply because they are with members of the opposite sex - who have been my friends for nearly 30 years. Not going to do it - because I know my boundaries are firm. I did cut contact with one man because he started flirting, texting inappropriately etc. when the A came to light.
The others have been complete gentlemen, and I deserve all my friendships right now because they are my support system to help me survive what he did to me and to our family.
We have a policy of no friendships with old boyfriends/girlfriends and no opposite sex friendships who are not friends of the other also. That said, I do have a few friends on my facebook account that were old male high school friends who were friends of mine before his affairs. He has not asked me to remove them based on the new rules. If he did, I would first ask him what exactly his concerns are. But, ultimately, if it were important to my husband, I would delete the friends. They just aren't more important than my marriage.
Sometimes people who have lied or cheated project their behavior onto others. They assume if they are doing it, everyone must be or, at the least, their spouse must be. Ask her exactly what her concern is and why. If the concern is not unfounded (too familiar messages even if they aren't flirty, behaviors from the other person that indicate availability or desire if you weren't married, reminiscing about past love or adoration, etc.), delete the friends. If there is nothing like that and the friendships are superficial, you will have to weigh out the importance of the friendship against the importance of your marriage. I realize that, on principal, it's unfair for you to have to live up to the same standards as your wife. But this is a marriage which is far more important than principals. Even though one of you cheated, you both have to put the other one first from here on out if you expect to reconcile successfully.
You might also read the book "Not Just Friends" together. Here is a link to the questionnaire that the two of you could look over to see if any of the current friendships your wife is concerned about are slippery slope friendships. The answers to these questions might ease her mind about the friendships or they might enlighten you as to the exact nature of them:
Unfortunately your WW does not get to pull the we are equal and what's good for you is good for me card. This is equivalent to your WW having diabetes and not being able to eat candy so she now requires you to never eat candy again because she can't. Sure you could choose to comply but your situations are not equal. In this scenario she can do the heavy lifting of eating right, excercising, and leading a healthy life style and she can get to the point where she may be able to have some candy every now and then but she will always need to be wary of the disease if she slips into her old ways. You can not eat the candy or eat the candy and at the end of the day it didn't cause her to develop diabetes or make her do what's needed to control it.
Your WW cheated NOT you. She has shown that she has poor boundaries NOT you. By all means, offer to let her call and talk to them or go out with you with them. Give her access to your phone, email, facebook, or social media whenever she wants. You have nothing to hide. She fucked up not you so IMO she is the one with the boundary issues. So no you do NOT have to give up your friends unless you choose too. Sure she has the option to decide that's a dealbreaker for her but honestly if that is enough to send her packing she was likely going to leave anyway.
Just my 2 cents. My stbxww accused me of all kinds of shit as well. EVERY time she did she was in the middle of or starting up another A. Unremorseful spouses often assume everyone is like them.
ETA: If your WW is truly remorseful then giving up your friends is okay if you choose. However if this is a tit for tat power struggle thing then your WW doesn't get it yet and I would say is still foggy or just flat out unremoresful. If you have never given her any reason to believe you have done anything inappropriate in the past and she is still requesting you drop your friends then she is projecting. The problem becomes where does this stop. This becomes a "I will do this if you do this" game and at that point the end goal of her becoming healthy has been lost. It's now about control instead of her willingly doing these things without putting stipulations on you of any sort prior to doing them.

But there is no way in hell that I would give up my long-term, friends of the marriage, male friends because my FWH had an A. My boundaries are firmly in place. There isn't a conversation that I've had with any of them that could not be repeated in front of my FWH and as a matter of fact, he's welcome to join in.
When we first went on ADs, he couldn't drink. Nothing. I didn't stop drinking. I didn't offer him drinks, I didn't lush it up in front of him, I didn't make him feel like I was taunting him, but the fact that he couldn't drink had nothing to do with the fact that I could. Sort of like the diabetes example given above. I sure would modify my recipes so my FWH could eat with me, but I wouldn't give up all sugar, etc, just because he couldn't have it.
Frankly, her questioning YOUR fidelity is a Big Red Flag to me.
D-Day, June 10, 2012
Bluntly, I would tell her to go to hell.
My WW and I talked a little about this over the weekend. Her fear is that I am now "primed" for an affair. She said she can't blame me if I wanted to cheat; but, believed it was not a good idea for our marriage. She is just scared.
I fully understand that. I tried to allay any fears. I have had ample opportunities in the past to cheat and never have. That I have a set of beliefs and a moral compass; that I wouldn't do this to myself. To her, this only scares her more; because, now she feels less worthy of my fidelity and believes I don't hold the same value to our marriage I once did. Add in the fact that she is the only woman I have been with and it makes her even more worried.
My final comments seem to have just made it all worse. I said that couldn't cheat even IF I wanted to (and I don't). We now have genital herpes as a result of your affairs; and, I couldn't comprehend giving this to someone else just to satisfy my desires. What she heard was that she ruined my life.
I absolutely HATE how mired she gets in self loathing and guilt.
I absolutely HATE how mired she gets in self loathing and guilt.
Self-loathing and guilt or self-pity? The two are not interchangeable. Sounds more like self-pity to me and if that's so, she STILL doesn't get it.

I don't think you need to give up your friendships, but that you guys are communicating about this stuff and have identified the real issue is a good thing. Working out a solution that doesn't penalize you for her behavior, while helping her to feel safer, is IMO the better way to go here if you guys are doing well with the transparency thing and working on R.

So, I thought that this issue had been resolved. I was very clear that I had not done anything wrong. I never met with any of these girl friends (there are only 2 or 3) alone, never spoke about my personal business (especially not about my marriage difficulties), and NEVER spoke with them during my "family" time. Basically, the "conversations" are all related to a mutually enjoyed television shows, enjoyed books, old high school friends, etc. My wife knows all my passwords and is fully encouraged to look at all these conversations.
Two weeks ago, I went to a comic-con and bumped into a friend and her boyfriend. I was there with a mutual male friend (all of us grew up together). The mutual male friend invited the girl and her boyfriend to dinner afterward... The 4 of us grab a bite to eat, discuss cool costumes, games we saw, typical things like that. There is ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to this friendship.
I returned home and relayed the day to my wife and all hell breaks loose. My wife is upset because she believes that by maintaining this friendship I am choosing this woman over her. I have tried to logically talk to her and get her to open up to me about what her concerns are. All I am getting are cryptic comments about how much this hurts and how horrible things are going etc. If I want a divorce, if I am just "trying to get even", if I just want her to "accept this", etc.
I guess I am both venting and looking for guidance/advice. Is what I am doing that wrong? I mean, if I have to choose between a few friends and my marriage/family; it is not a real choice to me...but, I shouldn't have to choose, right?
UGH her damn affair has just bit me yet again!!!
There are studies that show that opposite-sex friendships are almost always sexually charged, in some way, or at some point, if both are attractive people or similar on the looks scale.
If a relationship is vulnerable, an opposite sex friend can sometimes endeavor to take advantage of that.
My wayward's, own best friend, who is also part of a mutual couples friend came on to me after learning of the affair.
I knew him for a long time, and he always prior acted respectfully.
He Cornered me at a party and told me he was always attracted to me and he thought my husband was a jerk for cheating and he tried to kiss me.
I warded it off, and stayed far away from him the rest of the evening.
They are no longer considered friends of the marriage.
I am the BS. Still, I do not go on girl's nights out and I do not maintain any male friendships.
I think they are slippery slopes, particularly to a vulnerable BS.
While, I agree it feels as if you are being punished, for her affair, If you reframe it as a way to keep your marriage healthy, it may help you understand the need to detach from these friends.
Look, I have always been better friends with men. But, I do not have independent friendships with men. It isn't safe, or at least they are, until they aren't. Sorry, but that is reality.
My H had an affair with a mutual friend.. someone he thought of as a little sister, until he hit a crisis, and then he didn't. If I had asked him a year before he did it if it was even a remote possibility, he would have laughed. In fact, when she told her husband about who the affair was with, he DID laugh, the idea was so outrageous.
I am sorry, but I feel like your wife is right, and you are playing with fire. Lots of double betrayal stories on here demonstrate my point.
Let's recap the scenario. You and your MALE friend (good boundaries), attending a comic-con together, ran into a established female friend and HER BOYFRIEND, and chatted. Later your MALE friend invited the TWO of them to go to dinner with the two of you.
You did nothing wrong. Your WW cannot even give you a reason as to why she is upset with this scenario. In which you did nothing wrong, violated no boundaries, nor even made the invitations.
My personal opinion is that your WW is setting off red flags all over the place and I'd be taking a long, hard look at exactly what she's doing right now. IF, you were out making new female friends, I'd agree with her. IF, you were meeting your old female friends alone, I would tend to agree with your WW. IF, you were spending hours facebooking them privately, I would agree with your WW. But you have not crossed any reasonable boundaries.
You know, you commit a felony, your right to own a gun is taken away from you. Insisting that everyone in your family get rid of all of their guns because you cannot own one is being a dog in the manger. IMO, of course.
MC said I should drop this friend in order to R. I was livid because of all the reasons you state in your original post. It was another casualty of his cheating. Ultimately R didn't work so I'm left trying to clean up the mess that I didn't create and didn't deserve. This friend was hurt because he lost, too. All because my ws couldn't keep his own pants zipped.
We are tentatively trying to recreate a friendship but now he will probably never trust me! I wish I'd have told ws to go to hell when he told me he didn't trust that friendship.
Why are you still with this woman?
Are you in MC? I think this would be a good issue to work through in a session.
Our whole culture is sexually charged. I think sexual impulses are very closely related to creative impulses, and if you turn one off, you'll turn the other off, too.
I may be an outlier, but I can feel sexual without needing to engage in sexual activity ... I think it's called sublimation. Just sayin'....
[This message edited by sisoon at 6:24 PM, June 11th (Wednesday)]
I also agree with Skan that her reactions to your friendships are red flags. That's what happened in my case during the last false R. Ex gave me all kinds of crap and had me groveling. Even after I had decided I was going to forfeit the friendship to make the relationship work, it was still an issue. In the end, I caught him redhanded again.
Maybe she doesn't have any correspondence with previous APs, but keep a lookout for any new ones.
As is often said on here, where there is smoke, there is fire. In my case, the fire wasn't in my backyard. It was in my ex's backyard.
Your hurtful experience is bad enough as it is. Now she wants you to give up friends and isolate yourself . You should not let her do this to you.

Digital marketing is more complex today than ever before. The proliferation of social media networks has led young adults to establish multiple online identities that differ by platform. Consequently, users' relationships to brands on each of these different platforms may vary based on content, tone, and style. This panel will cover the ins-and-outs of how consumers manage identities and relationships across multiple social networks, and how brands can update their marketing toolkit to stay relevant in an ever-shifting digital landscape.

With the holiday decorations down and the leftovers cleared out of the refrigerator, warm Italian comfort food might be just the right dinner. Taster's Choice judges found seven brands of cheese ravioli in grocery store refrigerators and freezers. Some were good enough to stand alone with a tasty sauce. Others would be great starters for an Italian casserole or side dish.
Kathy Saunders, Times Correspondent
|Product/score (out of 100)
|Buitoni/ 84
|Primo Gusto/53
|Rosetto/ 51
|How'd it look?
|Like Mamma Mia! — ''Bring on the bread sticks!" said one judge. The ravioli was fresh and cut into little squares with pinking-shear edges.
|Round and full like flying saucer pillows.
|Large squares with fluted edges.
|Judges' comments
|"The cheese filling has a deep cheese flavor," said one judge who liked the soft texture of the pasta. "Real Parmesan tasting," said another. Panelists said this winner looked and tasted like homemade ravioli. "Perfecto — Now that's Italian!" said one judge who said the nonpressed edges kept the pasta from getting too chewy.
|These are cheesy and gooey with a nice bite, said one judge. This brand had a strong Parmesan fragrance and taste, along with a touch of mozzarella. The filling was very moist and flecked with herbs. The ratio of filling to pasta was the best in the GFS brand. "It's not too thick, which means the filling is really showcased," said one panelist.
|These pasta squares were firmer than the others but not as flavorful. Judges figured they would work best in a heavy sauce or doctored up with lots of herbs. A couple of panelists thought the pasta was a bit heavy on the garlic taste.
|Would they buy?
|All five judges said yes.
|Three of the five judges said yes.
|Two of the five judges said yes.

Dead Space
Inventory Glitch?
I've got a problem with my inventory and shop. So, I'm on Chapter 6 and every time I try to put some items away into storage (no more free spaces), it looks like it leaves and instantly returns. Stupid me saved afterwards when I thought it would go away. I even turned the whole system off, restarted and it's still happening.
I'm currently at the section where you have to destroy the enemies that vent poison into the air. My save file is on the second round, I'm using the Military Suit, three weapons are fully upgraded, RIG, Stasis and Kinesis are all maxed out. And, I'm on my second playthrough and don't really feel like restarting. But I do have one saved file a few chapters away, Chapter 4 at the ADS Cannon segment. Can anyone help me out?
Brian_Irons - 8 years ago
Additional Details:
It's still not working when I try to move items from my Inventory to the Safe. Looks as if it moves, then comes back and it scrolls up one automatically. Tried what you said, switched my cursor on something else, switched between Shop, Inventory and Safe, it still won't allow items in my Safe.
Is it possible to actually fill up the Safe to capacity? I've got a lot of items I save, takes me forever and a day to get to the bottom to switch out a weapon. I'm one of those players that explores every room like a detective and scrounges up each piece of evidence I can. Maybe I should start selling items in my Safe to allow for new ones to enter..?
Brian_Irons - 8 years ago
Accepted Answer
This "glitch" only occurs when your safe is filled to capacity. The Safe can only hold 256 items at one time (My count anyway. IDK if the count will differ from game to game or depending on certain situations on how the player played the game), so it IS possible to fill the safe to the brim. You will now need to sell unnecessary items in the safe to make room for other items and in order for you to deposit items in the safe again.
WingedRegent - 8 years ago
Other Answers
It's a glitch with certain kinds of ammo. When you move them from your inventory to your safe, they do actually move - the game just doesn't make their line go away on the screen until you move your cursor again. The items aren't gone or anything, but if you try to send the same item to your safe again without moving your cursor, the result is that the item listed below it is actually the one that moves.
So, in summary - when you're moving items to your safe and you notice that what you're trying to move is still listed on the screen, just move your cursor, and the item should be removed from the list like it should've been the first time.
Deucon (FAQ Author) - 8 years ago
Okay, well, if most of the stuff you are saving in the safe is ammo, you might as well sell them because I have learned even if you have like thre clips of ammo for the four weapons you have that will be enough for the whole game, even on impossible mode, if you play smart and melee necromorphs, so is you sell like almost all the ammo in your safe you might have free space and you will have alot af money to buy nodes to upgrade all the weapons to get the trophy: Maxed Out (Or achievement if you have 360)

Chauncey Lampkin arrested in connection with security guard's death
SPOTSYLVANIA, Va. (AP) - A man wanted in connection with the shooting death of a security guard at a Spotsylvania County nightclub has been arrested in New York.
Spotsylvania County Sheriff Roger Harris announced Monday that Chauncey Lampkin was arrested in Mount Vernon, N.Y., after he was involved in a disturbance at a local bar. Harris said Lampkin provided a false name to police, but his fingerprints revealed his true identity and a murder arrest warrant for Spotsylvania County.
Lampkin, 27, faces charges in Virginia in connection with the March 30 shooting death of Marcellus Greene, a security guard at Q-Ball's bar.
Greene was shot after two groups were thrown out of the club during a concert for fighting. Another fight broke out in the parking lot, and shots were fired from a vehicle, Spotsylvania Sheriff's Capt. Jeff Pearce told the Free Lance-Star of Fredericksburg.
Authorities said Lampkin was the shooter. Two others - 26-year-old Lavon Antonio Chew of Spotsylvania and 25-year-old David Davion Burroughs of Stafford - were arrested days after the shooting, accused of being occupants in the vehicle. They face gun and conspiracy charges.
Lampkin faces drug and other charges in New York. Virginia authorities are seeking Lampkin's extradition.

Previous Rankings: 2011 | 2010 | 2009 | 2008
Five-Star Prospects
Nine More
1. Michael Choice, OF
Year in Review: The A's top pick from 2010 led the California League in home runs in his full-season debut.
2. Jarrod Parker, RHP
Year in Review: The Diamondbacks' top prospect made his return from Tommy John surgery, improved throughout the year, and went to Oakland in the Trevor Cahill deal.
3. A.J. Cole, RHP
Year in Review: This $2 million bonus baby missed plenty of bats in Low-A, and was the best prospect to come over from Washington in the Gio Gonzalez deal.
4. Brad Peacock, RHP
Year in Review: This control specialist found some more velocity, reached the big leagues, and was the most advanced prospect sent to Oakland in the Gonzalez trade.
5. Sonny Gray, RHP
Year in Review: Though he was among the top pitchers in college baseball, Gray fell to Oakland with the 18th overall pick. He proceeded to conquer Double-A hitters after signing.
6. Derek Norris, C
Year in Review: He somehow put up good overall numbers in Double-A despite hitting .210. He was part of the package received from the Nats in the Gonzalez trade.
7. Grant Green, OF
Year in Review: He was unable to reproduce big numbers away from the Cal League, but Green made a smooth transition to center field.
8. Chris Carter, 1B
Year in Review: Carter had another year of big numbers in the minors and big struggles in majors.
9. Collin Cowgill, OF
Year in Review: He took advantage of his environment to put up huge numbers at Triple-A, but struggled in his big-league debut.
10. Raul Alcantara, RHP
Year in Review: He blew away Gulf Coast League hitters, and many observers think he's the player to watch among those netted from Boston for Bailey.
11. Max Stassi, C
Year in Review: This top young catcher had a lost season as nagging shoulder issues finally led to surgery.
The Sleeper: A.J. Griffin, a 13th-round pick in 2010, went from Low-A to Triple-A in his full-season debut, and could quickly fit into the back of a big-league rotation.
Top 10 Talents 25 And Under (born 4/1/86 or later)
The A's have always believed that if Weeks could just stay healthy, he'd burst onto the scene; he did that in 2011. Expect an equally high average in 2012 and a growth in secondary skills. Anderson is a hedge who could arguably rank first or seventh. If the elbow problems were part of his 2011 decline, then be optimistic. Reddick might not have been good enough for Boston, but he made some adjustments last year and could hit 15-20 home runs this year. He has one of the best outfield arms in the game.
Summary: The A's have rebuilt and revamped their system to aim for a breakout window that will hopefully open at the same time their new stadium in a new location does. If Major League Baseball continues to drag their feet on the matter, we'll just see a repeat of this cycle three years from now.

The scare quotes around "confidence" give the impression KG is being sarcastic.

They weren't there before. My excerpt was a direct quote, so that's kind of unfair to throw that in without acknowledging the edit.

I just read the article with the quotes so I didn't know if they were there or not before. I checked with the editors, and indeed the quotes were added for emphasis. With or without quotes, the statement was intended to be sarcastic. I can tell you that from years of reading Kevin's work and from the "but" in that quote.

Hudson Belinsky
Are Adrian Cardenas's days as a prospect over now that he's moved to LF? I know there's not much there outside of a spotty hit tool.
Jan 06, 2012 01:16 AM
He was considered, and was a late cut. Just never found a defensive home, and offensively, he's a player with a good batting average and limited secondary skills.
Jan 06, 2012 09:34 AM
What's the latest on Michael Ynoa? How far down the list is he, and what's the status on his health?
Jan 06, 2012 03:13 AM
I was curious about him as well. I read a report some days ago that he is back to throwing baseballs. I would have hoped that that alone would be enough to get him a mention on this list.
Jan 06, 2012 05:03 AM
Also wondering about Nunez. Goldstein was really high on him last year. Is he just too far away to crack a stronger list or did his stock fall a lot? Anyone know?
Jan 06, 2012 06:38 AM
Benjamin Harris
Fautino De Los Santos was #12 on your list last year; he made the majors and pitched pretty well, albeit with a few too many walks (43 K's, 17 BB's in 33.1 innings). Is his absence mostly a result of the new talent in the system? What do you think of his big league prospects? Some have speculated that he may be closing in Oakland soon, especially if Fuentes and/or Balfour are moved.
Jan 06, 2012 04:07 AM
Is there any way he can be converted back to starter at any point?
Jan 06, 2012 07:24 AM
It's more likely a result of him pitching too many innings to qualify as a prospect anymore.
Jan 06, 2012 04:56 AM
I noticed a one Michel Ynoa has been taken off the list, are we no longer dreaming about the soon to be 21 year old?
Jan 06, 2012 05:21 AM
"Norris is just a career .249 hitter in the big leagues." You mean in pro ball?
Jan 06, 2012 06:43 AM
Yes in pro ball. Plate discipline is not a tool and does not get graded, though it is certainly mentioned in every report. Plate discipline plays a big role in a hit tool playing, but is not part of the tool itself. As far as Norris goes, obviously his is below average, and you hope he can be a future 35-40 hitter, or around .250.
Jan 06, 2012 09:41 AM
Are you confident about Sonny Gray's chances to stick as a starter?
Jan 06, 2012 07:03 AM
I'm cautiously happy and surprised to see Reddick so high. I've sort of lumped him in with Cowgill as 4th OF/2nd Division Starter types.
Jan 06, 2012 07:24 AM
Weeks put up 3.3 WARP at an up-the-middle position in the majors. That has to count for something relative to the uncertainty of those still in the minors.
Jan 06, 2012 08:56 AM
I like Reddick as a solid every day player. Think he could hit 20 home runs and have real defensive value.
Jan 06, 2012 09:44 AM
If Milone is around 13-14, is there a reason he's not in your top 20?
Jan 06, 2012 10:55 AM
Thanks for the response. I was told Milone had a plus change. Is that not true, or is it not enough?
Jan 06, 2012 11:30 AM
Milone is 84-88 mph and won't miss bats in the big leagues. His ceiling is a fringy reliever.
Jan 06, 2012 12:41 PM
Kev, I know you got less opportunity to watch Rashun Dixon in 2011. What have you heard about his progress (or lack there of) in his move to Stockton? What do you see for his perfect world projection?
Jan 06, 2012 08:51 AM
Wouldn't Milone be "the most advanced" prospect the A's got from Washington?
Jan 06, 2012 08:53 AM
Starting OF?- Reddick (rookie $), Cowgill (rookie $), Crisp ($7m). My guess is that Crisp is the least valuable of the three- I'm still shaking my head over this.
Jan 06, 2012 08:54 AM
So basically, the A's have no one to play center field or an infield position other than first base (and second, accounting for Weeks).
Jan 06, 2012 09:08 AM
Crisp, Pennington, Sizemore & Barton, no?

Jan 06, 2012 10:29 AM
Not arguing, but could you please explain how you're defining "advanced"? Milone was in AAA vs. AA for Peacock. You're comments make Peacock sound overly fastball dependent while Milone has to mix his pitches or get crushed.

Has anyone asked about Renato Nunez yet? Last year's list states he wouldn't even come over the states for a while so I assume there isn't any new info on the guy. I'm surprised to not see him on the list at least given how much Kevin liked him last year.

Is your entry on Vicmal de la Cruz a typo? I assume you mean he "beat up on" the DSL (318/438/453 w 37 BBs to 27 K's) rather than he "was beat up in" the DSL. For many of us A's fans who obsess about our future talent pipeline, he's a key source of optimism. Are you not high on him?

Do you believe Anthony Recker can stick around as a back-up catcher for a while? Numbers wise, he looks like he could be a low batting average, decent walk rate, type with solid pop. Of course, I have no idea how his defense grades behind the plate, and not sure what to think of his stats as a 27 year old in the PCL most of the year. I remember watching him play against my alma mater, SUNY Cortland, in a scrimmage. When I hear you and Jason talk about a guy looking like a player in the uniform when compared to his peers on the field, this is pretty much the image that comes to mind. Recker stood out as a jacked dude.

Submitted to: Proceedings of International Research Conference on Methyl Bromide Alternatives
Publication Type: Proceedings
Publication Acceptance Date: 8/27/2004
Publication Date: 11/1/2004
Citation: Gerik, J.S. 2004. Soil fumigation for freesia production. Proceedings of International Research Conference on Methyl Bromide Alternatives. No volume number, pgs. 85-1 - 85-4. Interpretive Summary: With the impending phase-out of methyl bromide for soil fumigation, flower growers will require alternative methods to control weeds and diseases for continuous production. Fumigants such as Midas ™ InLine ™, Vapam HL ™ and Multiguard ™ are possible alternatives to methyl bromide. These fumigants can be delivered in drip irrigation systems, permitting better distribution through the soil by the irrigation water. Three trials on 2 sites were conducted to test the efficacy of the before mentioned fumigants for the control of weeds and disease for the production of the cut flower, Freesia. It was found that Midas preformed as well as a combination treatment of methyl bromide and chloropicrin. InLine preformed as well as Midas, but Multiguard required the addition of Vapam HL to perform as well as Midas and InLine. The study shows that Freesia can be produced following fumigation with Midas, Inline, or Multiguard plus Vapam HL.
Technical Abstract: Hybrid freesia (Freesia x hybrida L.) is grown in field soil under shade on the coast of California for cut flower production. A variety of weed species can quickly overgrow the sparse canopy of the crop. The crop is susceptible to Fusarium oxysporum which causes a classical yellows disease. Pre-plant soil fumigation with methyl bromide/chloropicrin is commonly employed as a means of weed and disease control. The soils are usually fumigated with a 98/2 formulation using the hot gas method. Two experiments were established to evaluate alternative fumigants applied through drip irrigation tape for freesia production. A freesia flower trial was established in Nipomo, CA. The treatments were 5 InLine (1, 3 dichloropropene, 60.8% + chloropicrin 33.3%) rates (251, 377, 502, 628, & 706 kg/ha) compared to the water control. The trial was planted with corms on 24 November 2003. A second freesia trial was established in Encinitas, CA in a greenhouse. The treatments, made on 15 October 2003 in 3.8 cm of water, included 448 pounds per hectare Midas (iodomethane 47.5% + chloropicrin 47.5%), 706 kg/ha InLine, 672 kg/ha (ai) Multiguard (furfural), and 672 kg/ha (ai) equal parts Multiguard and Vapam (metham sodium) and a non-treated control. The trial was planted with corms on 5 November 2004. Populations of P. ultimum were reduced by all treatments in both trials. All rates of InLine reduced the populations equally. Multiguard alone reduced the populations to a lesser extent than Midas, InLine and Multiguard plus Vapam. Populations of F. oxysporum were not significantly reduced in the Encinitas trial. In both trials the incidence of Fusarium yellows was not significantly reduced by any of the treatments. Initial weed populations were reduced with all treatments, but weeds continued to emerge throughout the growing season in all treatments. Both trials were conducted from late fall into the winter when weed pressure is lower. Although methyl bromide/chloropicrin was not directly compared with the treatments in either trial, observation from adjacent plantings and conversations with the growers indicate that none of the treatments in these two trials performed as well as the standard treatment of methyl bromide/chloropicrin.

Isn't it high time that we recognize the existence of Russian New Wave films? That was my reaction to Andrey Zvyagintsev's "Elena", a film that opens tomorrow at NYC's Film Forum for a two week engagement and that incorporates two of the essential features of the new cinema in Russia: social criticism and artistic innovation.
With its money-grubbing and deceitful characters, "Elena" evokes Balzac—not surprising given contemporary Russia's affinity with mid-19th century France. Indeed, as Le Père Goriot's Vautrin observed, "The secret of a great success for which you are at a loss to account is a crime that has never been discovered, because it was properly executed." That is both the case of the oligarchy running Russia today and the eponymous character of Zvyagintsev's film, the zaftig, 60ish wife of Vladimir, an elderly retired businessman who owes his success to a properly executed crime, namely the privatization of the Soviet economy.
We first meet Vladimir and Elena in their sumptuous but sterile apartment that has flat-screen televisions in every room and a kitchen filled with electronic gadgets that would put the French couple's ultramodern house in "Mon Oncle" to shame. Elena, a former nurse, has "married up" but she did not marry Vladimir for his money. When she met him as an appendectomy patient in the hospital she worked at ten years earlier, she fell for him almost immediately. The lavish life-style was a bonus.
However, their economic differences create tensions especially when it comes to Elena's son Sergei and his family who live in a rundown Soviet-era housing project that looks just like the worst council housing in Britain. Sergei is unemployed, and probably unemployable based on his shiftless character. His favorite pastimes seem to be drinking beer, playing video games with his equally shiftless son Sasha, and spitting on the street from his balcony. His mother could care less about his failings and relies on Vladimir's fortune to keep him afloat. In her visits to Sergei, where she spends quality time with her new infant grandson, she appears far happier than at her cold but palatial apartment.
When Elena's allowance to Sergei falls short of Sasha's college tuition, she pleads with Vladimir to make up the difference. Since he is not particularly happy about keeping his son-in-law's refrigerator filled with beer to begin with, he is even more loath to come up with the tuition fees. When Elena reminds him that this would make him army-bait and eligible to serve in Ossetia, Vladimir shrugs his shoulders and says that the army provides the best education.
Growing ever more desperate and resentful of Vladimir's obsession with money, Elena plots what Balzac dubs a "perfectly executed crime". But to be sure, this is not so much a crime melodrama as it is a study of class society. In contrast to Elena's lumpen-like son and grandson, Vladimir's daughter Katerina (Yelena Lyadova) is an articulate, elegantly dressed product of post-Soviet society with a hatred for her father and an equal hatred for herself. Addicted to sex, tobacco, drugs and alcohol, she has nothing to live for. When her father tells her that he gave her everything, she replies in effect, "Thanks for nothing". Like Père Goriot, this is a man despised by his daughter.
In the press notes for "Elena", director Zvyagintsev states:
I'm thrilled by the chance this story provides to explore the central idea of the early modern period: survival of the fittest, survival at any cost. With the growth of individual freedoms, society requires a corresponding growth of solidarity. Ever-increasing disengagement and individualism mean that people start to behave more and more like a bunch of tarantulas in a jar. This will be a rough drama — a pitiless, uncompromising look at human nature.
We see two old people who have what appears to be an entirely normal relationship. You could even say that these people love each other, though it's not a passionate, youthful kind of love. We see their mutual care, gentleness and tact, which, along with their dedication and fairness, persuade us that they are bound by a lasting love.
However, if we choose to call the illusion of a commercial relationship "love" then, in a moment of crisis, individuals will always act first and foremost in their own interests.
I can also strongly recommend Andrey Zvyagintsev's 2003 film "The Return" that I mentioned here and that is now available on Netflix streaming. Like "Elena", the politics serves as a backdrop for some riveting human drama.

News & Events
River Days March 2013
Fly shows in the UK have become a mishmash of cheap rods, discounted waders and end-of-line tackle sales and in many cases do not promote the discipline that is at the heart of their very existence. Reaching back into Partridges rich and innovative past, I decided that we should re-invent Partridge Days and get the focus back into fly tying .
We selected river days as our first event to offer something to fly dressers in the South of England and to shine a light on the chalk streams that are so often overlooked in other events – the result was an intimate weekend with some great fly dressers and some smiling faces and comments from delegates that showed me that it was worth the effort and is a format that we should develop long into the future to ensure that fly fishermen do NOT forget how to tie flies!

Coconut Grove, big tourist attraction in Miami
"This is just a special place," Ron Rosenthal said. "You find yourself at peace, walk the street, ride your bicycle and be pretty much care free."
Rosenthal is not ashamed to tell you.
"I love Miami," he said. "I really do."
And not just Miami, but also what's on the outskirts of Miami.
Coconut Grove is a small, village type area just off of Grand Avenue and Main Highway that tourists, like Rosenthall, just can't turn away from.
"You can come here and feel calm and safe," Rosenthal said. "People are all very comfortable in their own skins."
It's filled with shops, restaurants and retail stores. Geffery Thigpen says from time to time it also hosts some pretty big names.
"People know everybody," Thigpen said. "People get acquainted with Lebron James, Dwayne Wade and Billy Joel...where the rich and famous also hang out."

A man was shot and killed during a house robbery in George, Western Cape police said on Friday.
Captain Bernadine Steyn said the house owners, a 57-year-old man and his wife, 54, heard a noise at about 1am on Friday.
"The husband took his .357 magnum revolver and unlocked the bedroom door to investigate."
He was attacked and shot in the arm by the robbers while his wife was also assaulted. Police found one of the robbers dead outside the house with a gunshot wound to his chest.
Steyn said it was still unclear how many robbers there were. Police were trying to establish who shot the man.
"A case of murder and house robbery will be investigated," Steyn said.
She said the .357 magnum revolver was missing and it was unclear if other items were also taken from the house.
The couple were taken to hospital; both were in a serious but stable condition. - Sapa

AVON — Winning in the Little League District 3 tournament seems to be common-place in Avon and the Under-10 team might just be starting its run to the state tournament after posting a 5-3 win over Tallmadge on Saturday.
Avon faces Cuyahoga Falls North on Monday in the final of the championship bracket.
Even if Avon loses that game, it would fall to the loser's bracket and still be alive in the tournament.
Despite only six total hits in the game — just one for Tallmadge — there were plenty of scoring chances for both teams as each side issued eight walks and had several errors. The miscues led to the majority of the game's runs.
Mason Dexter opened the scoring for Tallmadge, walking against Avon starting pitcher
Jason Clay, and scoring thanks to a stolen base, a passed ball and a fielder's choice by Jacob Reiter.
Walks set up a pair of runs for Avon in the bottom of the first as Tyler Louth and Bruce Duelley were issued free passes. Both scored on a series of passed balls from Tallmadge for a 2-1 lead.
Jacob Eiermann came on in relief for Avon and went 4⅔ innings, allowing two runs on no hits. Jacob Becks and Nate Amato both reached on walks and came around to give Tallmadge a 3-2 lead — without a hit in the game — on a pair of errors by Avon.
Avon made sure that trend didn't hold form as it picked up a run in the fourth when George Berki walked and eventually scored on an error on a ball put in play by Louth to tie the score at 3.
Avon grabbed a two-run lead in the bottom of the fifth as Eierman doubled to right-center and came home on a single by Mason Bingham, who then scored on a Jacob Stitchick single.
Eierman got a strikeout and a grounder back to the mound to start the final half-inning of play, but ran into trouble walking Nico Roldan and giving up the only hit of the game to Aaron Williams to bring the go-ahead run to the plate.
Avon coach Ron Stitchek went to Louth to close out the game and Louth responded by getting Dexter to ground out to the shortstop on the second pitch.

Posted by Horacio Gutierrez
Corporate Vice President and Deputy General Counsel
For more than a decade, the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office has been criticized for long delays in the processing of patent applications and for issues around patent quality. Both can have negative impacts on innovation, as the USPTO recognized in a recent White Paper.
To address these problems, USPTO has done some innovating of its own. Director David Kappos announced a proposal earlier this month that grapples with the backlog issue and offers an opportunity for applicants to work with the Office to assign priority to pending applications. The "Three-Track" proposal would enable applicants, when they file, to request expedited review under Track I or delayed examination under Track III. Applicants that do not request either option would have their applications processed under current procedures (Track II). We applaud the creative thinking and leadership behind the Three Track initiative. If carefully implemented, it will have real benefits for innovators of all sizes, from companies like Microsoft to small and medium-sized enterprises, as well as individual inventors and universities.
The Three Track initiative aims to provide applicants with the type of examination they need, while also enabling USPTO to improve its efficiency by better assigning resources and reusing search and examination work done by other patent offices. USPTO's intention to require mandatory publication is also the right way to go.
Overall, we believe the simplified requirements for Track I will be more useful than the Office's current and relatively little-used expedited processing procedure. And we applaud the approach of Track III for its potential to build on commonsense work-sharing practices, including the Patent Prosecution Highway and projects under the IP5 initiative.
USPTO will hold a public meeting on the proposal at its Alexandria, Virginia, headquarters on July 20 and has invited the public to submit written comments by August 20. Microsoft looks forward to participating in the public meeting and the comment process and to working with the Office as this important proposal moves forward.

UPDATE: JP Morgan Reiterates Incyte Corporation at Overweight Following PML Case
JP Morgan reiterated Incyte Corporation (NASDAQ: INCY) with an Overweight rating.
JP Morgan analyst Cory Kasimov noted, "Shares of INCY have been under pressure this morning following disclosure that a case of PML was identified in a 75 yr old male myelofibrosis (MF) patient from the UK treated with Jakafi. While it has not yet been determined whether this development was related to the use of Jakafi, we are unsurprised by the market's reaction given the theoretical risk (however unlikely) this could represent for Jakafi in MF and eventually PV. Nevertheless, we're hesitant to jump to conclusions in this instance with just one case identified to date (in almost 10,000 pts treated) and the rapid onset of PML following initiation of Jakafi treatment."
Incyte Corporation closed at $24.84 on Friday.

Organisers of the Heacham Carnival believe the event is going from strength to strength as hundreds enjoyed the annual procession.
A total of 16 floats, plus a jazz band and even a group of Harley Davidson motorcycle riders took part in Sunday's parade from College Drive to the village club sports field.
Parish council chairman Peter Colvin said he was delighted at the response of villagers to the event, which was aided by a fine and warm day of weather.
Officials believe the carnival attracted its largest crowd for several years this time around, as well as a higher number of floats from family groups.
He said: "We had a fantastic carnival. It was the biggest we have had in recent years."
The event is organised by a committee of parish councillors which has special responsibility for community activities.
Mr Colvin said: "It used to be a lot bigger years ago. A lot of events tend to peter out but ours has grown again over the last two or three years."
Taking pride of place in the parade, which proceeded along Lodge Road, Staithe Road, Collins Lane and High Street before reaching the sports field on Station Road, was the float of the carnival's Lavender Queen, Amelia Hughes.
The float was provided by Norfolk Lavender, while prizes for the best floats were supported by the Jennings Caravan Park on South Beach Road.
The afternoon's musical soundtrack was provided by the Smokehouse Jazz Band, who also marched in the parade.
And the traditional carnival collection was taken in aid of the village's Guides group, though the final total raised is not yet known.

Beginning with the current console generation, the devices we've normally thought of as being dedicated solely to playing video games have evolved into gadgets that serve many a multimedia purpose. While your brother or son may want to play "Call of Duty" late into the night on the Xbox 360, shown on your big-screen, you might be trying to nudge your way onto the couch this weekend to catch up on the last few seasons of "Breaking Bad."
Problem is, many of these multimedia features on the current-generation Xbox 360 are tethered to an individual Xbox Live Gold membership account that comes with a monthly price tag, leading to many a shameful asking-for-the-password phone call to your roommate when he or she is away, and you have want to catch up on "House of Cards."
On Friday, Microsoft announced what it hopes will be the solution to this problem with a new feature for the Xbox One it calls "Home Gold," which will allow users greater flexibility when it comes to sharing many of the device's premium online features between friends and family members.
As Xbox One chief product officer Marc Whitten spelled out in a post on the official Xbox Blog Friday, Home Gold will allow people other than the main Xbox Live Gold account holder to access the device's premium features. As Microsoft said in another announcement earlier this week, these include many of the console's most promising and heavily promoted services such as Skype calling, gameplay recording and sharing, and the OneGuide in-console live-TV viewing mode, and will cost anywhere from $10 a month to $59.99 a year depending on your subscription level.
The new system "will enable any Xbox Live Gold member on Xbox One to extend many Gold features to others at no additional cost," Whitten wrote. "One Xbox Live Gold account delivering great benefits to everyone in the home."
This is promising news for Xbox fans because while it still demands an additional fee on top of the $499.99 price tag for the new console, Home Gold will give users more bang for their buck. Currently, the Xbox 360's Gold membership accrues many of the same benefits that the Xbox One will offer, but only to the account holder him or herself, meaning that they have to sign into the service to watch Netflix or play "Call of Duty" online.
Whitten stressed that these features were available to an unlimited number of people, provided that they're all using the Gold member's home console.
"Friends and family will simply create their own account and gamertag and be able to enjoy Xbox Live online multiplayer gaming and access to entertainment apps," Whitten said. "Even if you sign off, your friends and family can enjoy multiplayer gaming while they are playing on your Home Xbox One console."
This also means that Gold members will be able to travel with their benefits without having to lug their individual Xbox One unit along with them. While gamers currently have to have a Gold membership to access any online features from an individual console — creating many headaches for gamers who just wanted to play a few matches of "Gears of War" one night when a friend is over but don't want to subscribe to a premium service they won't regularly use — Xbox One users will be able to enable online features for the duration of their stay at a friend's house simply by signing into their Xbox Live account.
As for sharing of digital games, the Xbox One's policy remains largely unchanged from the Xbox 360: Friends and family accessing the same console as the customer will be able to play the game regardless of what account they're using, the main difference being that if you buy a game remotely, it will automatically become available back at your home console. Digital games can also be brought to other people's Xbox One consoles, but like the other features, only so long as you are signed on to their console.

Vlassis Bonatsos (Greek: Βλάσσης Μπονάτσος) (November 30, 1949 – October 14, 2004) was a popular Greek entertainer. His father was a judicial and his mother was a piano teacher. Vlassis started his music career by creating a group called "ΠΕΛΟΜΑ ΜΠΟΚΙΟΥ", ("PELOMA BOKIOU") in the early 1970s, which was named after the initials of the names of the members of the group. In the early 80's he took part in the legendary theatrical play "Evita" starring Alice Vougiouklaki (Αλίκη Βουγιουκλάκη) playing the role of Che. He maintained a relationship with the "national" Star of Greece for several years. Then he took up acting and starred in TV programmes and Greek movies. He also presented TV shows and gameshows on Greek TV including Family Feud (Kontres). He died suddenly in 2004, aged 54. According to the press his death was due to obstructive swollen laryngitis.
