Ricki Lake: 'I'm Losing a Lot of Weight' on Dancing with the Stars
The incredibly shrinking Ricki Lake!
Although the actress and former talk show host, 42, famously won her battle of the bulge four years ago (dropping over 100 pounds) Lake can't help but drop more poundage as she rehearses for "Dancing with the the Stars" with pro partner Derek Hough.
PHOTOS: Amazing DWTS body makeovers
"Every time I show up for work, I'm like 'I got smaller,' but I have haven't weighed myself" Lake told Us Weekly at Variety's 3rd Annual Power of Women lunch in Los Angeles Friday.
Lake says she's "kicking" herself for not keeping tabs on her weight. "But ... it's more about losing inches anyway. I'm losing a lot of weight"

The hard evidence? "Oh my God, I put on my jeans--my size six jeans," Lake boasted, "They were too tight to put on a month ago, and they're now falling off. So, that doesn't lie!"
Last month, Lake said she wanted to drop the 15 pounds she's gained over the past year -- "I fell in love!" she explained.

The lucky guy beau Christian Evans, who proposed over the summer during a vacation in Spain.
Lake wouldn't reveal her wedding date, but teased that the wedding day will be "in the spring. I'm so excited! We picked a location, we hired a photographer."
It will be the second marriage for Lake, who divorced Rob Sussman in 2003 after nine years together; the exes share sons Milo, 14, and Owen, 9.

"I [didn't have] a wedding when I was married the first time," Lake explained. "I got married in Vegas, but this time it feels like this time is the one forever and ever -- and I want it to be very special."

Chowdown With Chip – What You Eat, Tells Others About Your Personality
Your eating patterns tell others plenty about your personality, according to Dr. Russell Haley. Here's what you eat reveals about you:
• Meat & Potatoes — These are "solid citizens," resistant to change.
• Junk Food Eaters — They eat as though they are still teenagers. This is a family-oriented group – their lives center around their children.
• Diet-Conscious Eaters — They count calories and avoid foods high in cholesterol, sugar, fat and salt. This group is strong-willed, frugal and willing to give up immediate pleasures for long-term security.
• Naturalists — These are highly idealistic people and believe they can improve life for everyone with their constructive criticism.

Vegetable Lasagna:
4-1/2 to 6-1/2 cups spaghetti sauce
8 oz. lasagna noodles, uncooked
15 oz. ricotta cheese (low fat)
8 oz. fontina cheese, grated
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
1 cup chopped onion
1-1/2 cup sliced carrots
2 cups sliced zucchini
1 cup sliced mushrooms, fresh
1 tsp. minced garlic
1/2 tsp. dried basil
1/2 tsp. dried oregano
1/4 tsp. nutmeg (mixed into ricotta cheese)
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Sauté onions and garlic in small amount of olive oil. To this
mixture add carrots and zucchini (add zucchini last so it doesn't become overcooked). Mix
nutmeg into ricotta cheese. Set aside.
In lightly greased baking pan (9 x 13), spread about 1 cup of spaghetti sauce on bottom of
pan. Arrange a layer of uncooked lasagna noodles. Top with more spaghetti sauce,
making sure to cover the lasagna noodles completely (this is the key to cooking the
noodles thoroughly).
Next add layer of ricotta cheese (already mixed with nutmeg). Sprinkle fontina cheese on
top of ricotta, then top with spaghetti sauce and another layer of noodles.
Note: Don't be concerned with empty spaces between noodles. The noodles will expand when baked.
Cover noodles again with spaghetti sauce. Next add a layer of sautéed vegetables, scatter
mushrooms on top of other vegetables and sprinkle dried
basil and dried oregano over that. Top with spaghetti sauce and noodles.
Continue layering until you reach the top of the pan. Top off with fontina cheese and
sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Bake at 350 degrees for 45-55 minutes until lightly
browned and bubbling. Allow to stand 15 minutes before cutting. Serves six, eight or 10
people, depending on portion size.

High Noon for Natural Gas in Europe
Julian Darley, author of High Noon for Natural Gas: The New Energy Crisis, writes about the danger of Europe's growing addiction to natural gas. Julian is a British environmental researcher living in Vancouver and is the director of the Post Carbon Institute. He runs an internet broadcasting station, GlobalPublicMedia.com and lectures widely on the profound implications of oil and gas peak and decline.
Europe should be trying as fast as possible to get off gas, instead of building new LNG infrastructure to addict themselves even more thoroughly to it.
Natural gas production in all countries in the European Union (E.U.) is either declining, or at peak and about to decline.
Only huge industry drilling and recovery effort is turning the peak into a plateau in some places, such as the UK sector of the North Sea. Making this costly effort is very unwise since it causes the decline to be even faster and harder to manage – and prolongs the building of ever more expensive gas infrastructure which will be useless in the not too far distant future.
In Europe (as opposed to the E.U.) only Norway definitely has the possibility of increased natural gas production, yet natural gas power stations and home heating are still being promoted, especially as a way of meeting Kyoto targets.
Already however, the foolishness of this policy is being felt. During the recent cold winter in Europe (early 2005), natural gas prices soared above $20 per thousand cubic feet (while in the US, where prices are normally the highest in the world, gas was about $6 to $7, though this week it has mostly been above $8). Apart from Norway, whose own gas will most likely peak in about a decade, Europe is becoming more and more dependent first on Russia (not noted for its stability in recent history) and then on Algeria, Nigeria, Libya, Egypt, and the Persian Gulf. The risks of doing this should be obvious to almost anyone with even a slight understanding of world affairs. But even if these rising gas producers were known for their political stability (and very often their unfortunate predicament is at least partly the fault of the West), this is the wrong moment to be coming onto the newly forming world gas market.
Why? These are the two most powerful reasons.
One. Transporting natural gas across oceans and seas is difficult, and must be done using Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG). The various infrastructural requirements to do this rank as the most expensive civilian projects in the world. In the producing countries LNG requires liquefaction terminals at the coast and the pipelines to feed them, and the world's largest and most expensive civilian ships to carry the liquefied gas, and then regasification terminals in the receiving country (and very likely more pipelines to take it to the existing pipeline network). In addition to the colossal expense, there is increasing resistance to both the pipelines in producing countries, and the receiving terminals in importing countries. The whole LNG 'train' is a huge security problem, and presents endless easy targets for those so inclined. The cost however may be the real killer. As we go over the oil peak (2005-2007) the financial world will go into a permanent turmoil, and free market, neoliberal countries (which includes all industrialised nations) face the severe risk that the capital markets will run out of cash for such mega-projects. At the same time, the tax payer will come under pressure to fund the infrastructure, even as the global economy is moving into depression.
Two. All the rest of the world's industrialised nations, except Norway and Australia, are turning to world gas (and LNG to transport it). The big question then becomes, is there enough natural gas to feed this huge new demand? And the true answer is that nobody really knows. The new gas to come onstream is in far-flung places where little drilling has ever taken place, and only when test wells have shown sufficient flow, can the industry be sure that the gas is really there. Some highly respected industry journals have suggested that there is not enough gas to increase supply very much, and that it too may peak within a decade or two. Some have even suggested that gas giants like Russia have already peaked and are in decline. Under these circumstance of grossly insufficient knowledge, even hard-line believers in the industrial way of life should be very cautious. And it is quite likely that they will be.
Most people in Europe appear to have little idea either of peak oil or of the grave situation regarding natural gas. High Noon for Natural Gas should be essential reading for anyone in Europe who uses natural gas either directly or indirectly. That includes just about everyone except perhaps the Lapps in northern Norway.

According to GuruFocus' List of Historical Low P/S Ratios, these are the stocks near their historical low P/S ratios: CACI International Inc. (NYSE:CACI), Northwest Bancshares Inc. (NASDAQ:NWBI), Blackrock Inc. (NYSE:BLK), WalMart Stores (NYSE:WMT) and Ascena Retail Group Inc. (NASDAQ:ASNA). Most of the companies on the list are highly profitable but their share prices were reduced due in large part to a drop in the overall market.
CACI International Inc. (NYSE:CACI)
CACI International Inc provides the IT and network solutions needed to prevail in today's new era of defense, intelligence, and e-government. CACI International Inc. Cl A has a market cap of $1.48 billion; its shares were traded at around $49.02 with a P/E ratio of 11 and P/S ratio of 0.4. CACI International Inc. Cl A had an annual average earnings growth of 15.7% over the past 10 years. GuruFocus rated CACI International Inc. Cl A the business predictability rank of 4.5-star.
CACI released its annual 10-K for 2011 on August 29. Revenue increased to $3.6 billion from $3.2 billion in 2010. Approximately 11.6% of the revenue growth was organic and the remaining 2% resulted from acquisitions completed in 2010 and 2011. Revenue has increased each consecutive year since 2002.
The company also has very little debt on its balance sheet, $572 million, and cash of $165 million. Free cash flow has trended up over the last decade.
Considering CACI's solid financial results and a profitable business, CACI's stock flagged toward the end of July due to the market sell-off and not seemingly for any sudden change in the business, bringing down its P/S ratio to indicate a bargain.
Northwest Bancshares Inc. (NASDAQ:NWBI)
Northwest Bancorp Inc. is a bank holding company whose sole activity is the ownership of all of the issued and outstanding common stock of Northwest Savings Bank and the majority ownership of Jamestown Savings Bank. Northwest Bancshares Inc. has a market cap of $1.2 billion; its shares were traded at around $11.63 with a P/E ratio of 20.4 and P/S ratio of 2.7. The dividend yield of Northwest Bancshares Inc. stocks is 3.8%. Northwest Bancshares Inc. had an annual average earnings growth of 25.9% over the past 10 years. GuruFocus rated Northwest Bancshares Inc. the business predictability rank of 4-star.
The company's stock price had already been tumbling since early July when they released their financial results on July 25, after which it plummeted further. It reported net income of $15 million, a decrease of $1.1 million over the same quarter of 2010 when net income was $16.1 million. The decrease in earnings was attributed to additional expense from its stock benefit plan. Revenue has been steady since 2006, not leaving the lower $400 million range. Trailing 12 month revenue at June 31, 2011, was $427 million, down slightly from $431 million in 2010.
The company also kept debt quite stable. Long term liabilities and debt are at $5.8 billion compared to $5.7 billion in the second quarter of 2010. Its cash has been declining, however, from $1.1 billion in 2009 to $713 million at June 30, 2011.
Northwest Bancshares has shown considerable resilience through market downturns. Its price has return to similar levels as before 2008, and after the July-August dip it has returned to similar levels as earlier in the year.
Blackrock Inc. (NYSE:BLK)
BlackRock Inc. is one of the largest investment management firms in the United States. Blackrock Inc. has a market cap of $20.06 billion; its shares were traded at around $148.55 with a P/E ratio of 12.3. Its P/S ratio of 2.3 is close to its 10-year low of 2.25. The dividend yield of Blackrock Inc stocks is 3.7%. Blackrock Inc. had an annual average earnings growth of 24.9% over the past 10 years.
This financial giant's P/S ratio has dipped even below its post-market crash low of 2.4 in early 2009. Revenue since them made a strong recovery. It jumped from $4.7 billion in 2009 to $8.6 billion in 2010. Trailing 12-month revenue is even higher at $9.2 billion. Blackrock is showing record revenues with a relatively low price due to the stock market decline in July-August.
Free cash flow has also jumped to a record high of $2.3 billion after trending upward over the last decade.
Blackrock had 3% higher assets under management according to its financial report for the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to the six months ended Dec. 31, 2011. It had a total of $3.659 trillion compared to $3.561 trillion. "The increase in AUM primarily was attributable to $89 billion in market appreciation, $53 billion of net subscriptions in long-term products excluding merger-related outflows, and a $37 billion increase due to foreign exchange movements, partially offset by $28 billion of total BGI merger-related outflows, $34 billion of cash management net outflows and $19 billion of advisory distributions and outflows," the company said.
Walmart Stores (NYSE:WMT)
Walmart Stores Inc. is the world's largest retailer. Walmart Stores has a market cap of $178.18 billion; its shares were traded at around $51.31 with a P/E ratio of 11.8 and P/S ratio of 0.4, close to a 10-year low of 0.41. The dividend yield of Walmart Stores stocks is 2.8%. Walmart Stores had an annual average earnings growth of 11.1% over the past 10 years. GuruFocus rated Walmart Stores the business predictability rank of 5-star.
Walmart Stores has been visiting historical P/S ratio levels multiple times over the last several years. It has been in a singular situation of having achieved 10% 10-year revenue growth and reached record revenue of $421.9 billion, while seeing its stock price rise just 4.91% over the last 10 years. Year to date, the stock is down 4%, creating another near-historic low P/S ratio.
In 2010, Walmart's free cash flow declined to $11.4 billion, its lowest since 2008. In 2009 it generated $12.4 billion and in 2010, $15 billion. In the 13 weeks ended July 29, Walmart's total comparable store/club sales increased 9.6%, a sixth straight quarter of comp improvement for Sam's, and decreased .9% for U.S. stores. Walmart looks to continue its growth with recent acquisitions of Netto stores in the UK and Massmart in sub-Saharan Africa.
Ascena Retail Group Inc. (NASDAQ:ASNA)
Ascena Retail Group, Inc, formerly known as The Dress Barn, Inc. Ascena Retail Group Inc. has a market cap of $2.12 billion; its shares were traded at around $27.2 with a P/E ratio of 11.7 and P/S ratio of 0.7, close to 10-year low of 0.68. Ascena Retail Group Inc. had an annual average earnings growth of 17.2% over the past 10 years. GuruFocus rated Ascena Retail Group Inc. the business predictability rank of 4.5-star.
Ascena has almost a 10-year streak of improving annual revenue, most recently reaching $2.4 billion in 2010. EBITA was declined annually from 2007 to 2009, but more than doubled from $105 in 2009 to $217 million in 2010. Free cash flow has increased annually from 2008 to 2010, when it reached $166 million. Margins have been notably stable.
Ascena did begin to rack up debt and liabilities in 2010, garnering approximately $458 million. But it has since paid some of that off and had $310 million at the quarter ended March 30, 2011. Ascena actually has more cash on hand than debt at the end of the same period, at $367 million.
The company's share price was also victim of the market dip from July-August. During Aug. 3 to Aug. 8 alone, the stock fell 18%. However, the company's fourth quarter results, reported Sept. 14, 2011, showed earnings of $28.2 million, down from $42 million the same quarter last year. Lower results were attributed to one-time charges and the year's quarter being one week shorter. Total quarterly revenue rose 2% to $725.8 million.

This column tends to focus on issues such as Black leadership, education and police malpractice. This week, it highlights, in some detail, the negative impact of Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger's proposed budget cuts in child care for South Los Angeles and surrounding areas.
Crystal Stairs, Inc. provides administrative services to child care providers in Central and South Los Angeles as well as the cities of Inglewood, Hawthorne, Lawndale and Gardena. At a community forum in January hosted by State Senator Mark Ridley-Thomas, Crystal Stairs' CEO Holly Mitchell presented, in illuminating detail, implications of the governor's cuts in child care programs serving those most in need. Her remarks have broad application and are summarized here:
Crystal Stairs serves approximately 20,000 children from 7,000 families, helping to find and pay for child care in a 108 square mile service area. It focuses primarily on administering child care payments to providers for the care they offer and works with some 8,500 child care providers to help them enhance the quality of child care they offer.
Concerned with the entire family, Crystal Stairs offers wide assistance, ensuring that children are enrolled in the Healthy Families insurance program, helping parents to understand what quality child care looks like, offering conferences and technical resource training to child care providers, working with grandparents who may be parenting for the second time, and developing parents into community leaders with tools to fight for their children against draconian cuts such as the ones proposed this year.
Ms. Mitchell outlined the governor's proposed cuts and discussed likely ramifications, especially for the working poor. His proposed budget includes the following: $198.9 million cut to child care programs, $479 million cut for CalWorks, eliminates child-only grants, deep cuts in supplemental security income for the elderly, disabled and foster-care programs, $1.1 billion in MediCal cuts that would effectively eliminate necessary medical for thousands of low-income people, those with disabilities, the elderly, pregnant women and children in foster care. The poorest of the working poor will be severely impacted.
Cuts to child care will also disproportionately impact families who have never been on cash aid, families who have struggled all their lives to make it without going on welfare. The families with low wage jobs, and have few if any benefits, are being told to dig even deeper into their already empty pockets to provide for their child care. These cuts are inexcusable.
The governor's proposed cuts will affect some 17,500 children that rely on subsidized programs, 44 percent of whom live in low-income families, many below the federal poverty level. (Crystal Stairs will be forced to cut 350 children from 200 families from its general child care program each month.)
California is already last in the nation in terms of the number of annual inspections of licensed child-care facilities. Many states require quarterly or annual inspections; California inspects facilities once every five years. The proposed cuts guarantee inspections will happen only once every seven years.
Recent studies show that single mothers who receive help paying for child care are 40 percent more likely to remain employed after two years than those who receive no help. This demonstrates the repercussions not only to families, but also the state's already fragile economy, that are likely to result from significant reductions in child-care subsidies. Child-care is actually an economic generator; the business of caring for and educating pre-school children generates $1.9 billion a year for the local economy and employs more than 65,000 people. Obviously, these cuts will further impair the budgets of both working families and local economies.
Those who give a damn should consider joining Crystal Stairs in denouncing the governor's budget slashes as an egregious disservice to the entire community. It could also help ensure existing child care funding, already seriously insufficient, is not further eroded. Helping deserving children and families helps us all.

By RYAN TOLMICH
HARRISON, N.J. — Having gone 0-1-1 in the club's only prior CONCACAF Champions League appearance, the New York Red Bulls emerged from Tuesday's clash with FAS with the club's first ever CCL victory.
Goals from recently acquired forward Saer Sene and winger Lloyd Sam were enough to earn the Red Bulls a 2-0 victory over the El Salvadoran side Tuesday at Red Bull Arena.
After controlling possession throughout the game's first 10 minutes, the Red Bulls broke through in the 11th minute by way of Sene.
In a sequence that would be repeated many times throughout the opening half, the Red Bulls attack was kickstarted by Ambroise Oyongo, who provided his first of many crosses to forward Tim Cahill. Cahill headed the ball down and into the path of Sene, who finished into a virtually open net to give the Red Bulls the early lead.
"It's just a great feeling as a striker," Sene said. "For me, it's been a long (time) that I didn't play (due to injury) but to get back on the field, to play 90 minutes and score, it's a great debut for me, but it's just the start."
"First start, first goal," said Red Bulls winger Lloyd Sam on Sene's performance. "Long may it continue."
From that point on, the Red Bulls continued to work to expose the FAS defense, as well as their short-statured backline, on the wings through Oyongo and Sam. Seemingly every Red Bull attack was generated through working the ball down the sideline, as the hosts exploited the three-man FAS defense time and time again.
"Our whole game plan tonight here, with them on the road, was to exploit the wings," said Red Bulls head coach Mike Petke. "That was 100 percent in scouting… You know if you're a winger and want to play in a game like this and also have Cahill, whose also the best jumper in the league, perhaps the world, and Saer who's six-foot-(three), you know the game plan is to get it wide and provide service."
"I didn't expect them to be that short," joked Sam after the game. "Once we saw that, I thought we could definitely win the aerial battle with Tim, obviously, you know how good he is in the air."
Oyongo and Cahill nearly connected again in the 31st minute to double the Red Bull lead. The 23-year-old Cameroonian once again found his way into space down the left side before crossing to Cahill, who, this time took a shot of his own. FAS goalkeeper Adolfo Menendez Jr. was able to parry Cahill's effort up and into the crossbar to prevent the Red Bulls from doubling the score.
Sene also got a chance to add to the Red Bull lead in the 55th minute, but the Frenchman failed to take advantage of an open net after rounding the keeper. After receiving a through ball from Cahill, the forward took a pair of touches before poking past a charging Menendez Jr., but the ensuing tight-angled shot went flying over the bar.
"He could have had three or four goals," said Mike Petke on Sene's performance. "He took his goal very well and he need a little bit more time to get in shape, but he's very close to being there."
After being repeatedly rebuffed in the quest for an insurance goal, the Red Bulls finally got the much-needed second score from Sam in the 70th minute. The English winger, who was put through by midfielder Peguy Luyindula, fired a shot off Menendez's palms and in, giving the Red Bulls enough breathing room to close out the remaining 20 minutes.
"I was happy to get that before I came off," said Sam, who was subbed off moments after finding the back of the net. "I'm happy to score. Peguy just slipped me in, I had a touch and I just hit it near post."
With the victory, the Red Bulls pick up three points to open their 2014-15 CCL campaign. Meanwhile, the Red Bull win eliminates FAS from the tournament after the El Salvadoran outfit's two prior losses to Group 3 leaders, the Montreal Impact.
After the game, Cahill acknowledged the task at hand when it comes to CCL play, but the Australian forward stated that this was not a competition that the Red Bulls would take likely
"If you just keep getting through and getting through," Cahill said, "you get yourself in a position where, hang on a minute, let's really have a good crack at this. We've got players that are sitting, that weren't even in the squad tonight, that want to have a crack at this."
The Red Bulls will resume CCL play September 17 with a visit to the Impact. However, in the meantime, the club now faces a short week before a return to MLS play with a trip to RFK Stadium to take on Eastern Conference leading D.C. United set for August 11.

Indian political analysts state that an Indian vote for the resolution forwarded by the US against Sri Lanka at the UN Human Rights Council would have implications on its status as a regional power and its ties with Sri Lanka, and may also affect New Delhi's leverage with Colombo on sending aid to Sri Lankan Tamils.
Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh told the Lok Sabha that India was "inclined" to vote in favour of the US-backed UN resolution.
Analysts say the Indian government's decision is prompted by the DMK party's decision to pull out of the ruling alliance.
The final draft of the resolution against Sri Lanka has not been put forward as yet.
Indian media reports indicate that several amendments may be made to the current draft.
India is currently holding discussions with co-sponsors the United States and France.
It is expected that the clause regarding an external monitoring mechanism may be amended
Meanwhile, Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Jayalalitha described as "evasive" Prime Minister Manmohan Singh's statement in parliament that India was inclined to vote in favour of the US resolution on Sri Lanka and said it would not serve any purpose.
In a statement, she said the Prime Minister was silent on human rights violations in Sri Lanka and did not say that the Sri Lankan government has to be condemned for violation of human rights.
However, leader of the DMK party M Karunanidhi called off his scheduled hunger strike after the Indian government said it intended to vote against Sri Lanka.
Karunanidhi was to fast on Thursday backed by DMK cadres all across Tamil Nadu.
Further more, former Indian diplomat G Parthasarathy has said that all Asian and African UNHRC members are likely to oppose the resolution.
He added that it may scrape through only if the Latin American countries vote in favour.
He also added that voting in favour of the resolution as it stood would have consequences for Indian diplomacy.
The diplomat added that India may lose leverage with the Sri Lankans and it would be Pakistan and China that benefit by it.

Spring begins anew Thursday
Wed, 19 Mar 2014 20:46:42 GMT —
In just under 24 hours, you can say goodbye to winter and hello to spring when it arrives at 12:57 p.m.
Now that you know the arrival of the season, how about a little information on how Spring changes the time?
On the first day of Spring and of Fall at all locations on earth, the day is about 12 hours and the night is about 12 hours.
This is formally known as the equinox and the word equinox is derived from the Latin words meaning "equal night."
At the equinoxes, both Spring and Fall, the earth's axis is perpendicular to the rays of the sun, which leads to the sun rising and setting due east and west.
Even though the word equinox implies equal daytime and nighttime, this is not exactly true for two reasons.
The first reason is due to how we define sunrise and sunset.
Sunrise is defined as the moment light becomes visible from the sun's disk when the top of the disk rises above the horizon but the center of the disk is still below the horizon. A good example of this is when at sunrise you see the very edge of the sun peeking over the horizon. This definition gives us a little more daylight than night.
Sunset is defined as the moment the sun's disk is no longer visible, which is again after the center of the sun's disk has already set. Basically this is the moment at sunset that you see the sun sink below the horizon. This also gives us a little more daylight than night. These definitions of sunset and sunrise actually give us a longer "day" period than the "night" period on the equinoxes.
The second reason has to do with refraction of light from the sun in the atmosphere.
Refraction will bend the light from the sun and make it appear higher above the horizon than it actually is.
For people living in the mid-latitudes, like here in the United States, the period of exactly 12-hours of light occurs a few days after the fall equinox and a few days before the Spring equinox.
For a fun side note, nearly every year on one or both of the equinoxes, I hear someone say that at exactly the moment of the equinox and only then, you can balance an egg on its end. Despite the folklore surrounding this idea, egg balancing can be done throughout the year and has no connection to the gravitational force of the moon or sun.

A Hollywood guild and independent film and TV producers separately expressed concern Tuesday about a proposal that would apply net neutrality conditions to most wired broadband Internet connections but apply far lighter approach to mobile web connections.
In comments to the Federal Communications Commission, the Writers Guild of America East said that the proposal offered by Google and Verizon, among others, could create serious harm.
It also questioned the proposal's suggestion that net neutrality not apply to so-called "managed" or specialized services — including those delivered through wired connections. Verizon officials have pointed to delivery of first-run movies over the internet using faster speeds and better quality as one possible managed service.
"This is nothing more than sleight-of-hand — avoiding open internet principles by declaring a major portion of the internet to be 'not the internet,'" said WGAE's filing, comparing the move to taking part of the nation's highways and declaring them open to everyone except when they are private.
"Permitting broadband providers to discriminate amongst content, to decide which programs get priority distribution would transform the open architecture of the internet into a slightly upgraded version of today's television and film industry," the guild said.
WGAE warned that in that universe, "decisions about what people watch would be made by a small group of conglomerates which exist to make a profit and not to enhance our culture or educate our public."
The Independent Film & Television Alliance also filed comments, saying that the internet "offers tremendous promise" as a method of distributions for artists, but that the only way to ensure the promise is fulfilled is full net neutrality.
"Independent content providers are concerned that without proper regulation and oversight, such an open and robust internet will be displaced by privately controlled broadband networks, exempt from anticompetitive safeguards," said its filing.
The group told the FCC that media consolidation has already limited opportunities for independent content. "The internet must not become a similar, segregated marketplace."
The FCC asked for comments on the proposals when it delayed its vote on whether to reclassify internet connections as phone services, a move that would be necessary to impose net neutrality.
In a separate filing Tuesday, AFTRA, SAG, the Directors Guild of America, and IATSE told the FCC that whatever it does, the agency should ensure that any net neutrality like conditions apply only to distribution of legal content and not to pirated content.

My sister was recently advised that a risk of leaving the cord to pulse is increasing the baby's blood volume to such an extent as to create an increased risk of jaundice that the baby won't be able to handle. is there any research to this effect? it seems to me to be an answer given off the cuff by a doctor not entirely willing to try something 'new'. Wondered if there is some info I'm not coming across.
There has never been any randomised study evaluating the risks of severe jaundice in relation to the time of cord clamping. However, having a personal experience of thousands of births with late cord clamping and cord cutting (after the delivery of the placenta), I can confirm that, on the contrary, the risk of jaundice is dramatically reduced when there is no interference with the physiological processes. The interpretation is that when mother and newborn baby are not distracted at all during the hour following birth (cutting the cord is a distraction), when they don't feel observed, and when they are not guided in a warm place with the lights off, there is a high probability that the baby will be fast at finding the breast. The suction of the nipple plus the early consumption of colostrum stimulate the bowel movements so that the pigments are quickly eliminated instead of being reabsorbed into the bloodstream and making the jaundice more intense.

VANCOUVER, B.C. – 99 Cents Only Stores is turning to ACL's GRC solution to help the value retailer digitize its audit management procedures.
By leveraging the internal audit management system, the retailer will replace spreadsheets and shared drives. Anticipated benefits include increased collaboration and visibility among team members, the ability to more easily perform risk assessments and scoring, and ease of workflow adjustment as new issues and risks are identified.
"We selected ACL GRC for our internal audit management system from a number of leading solutions for several reasons," said Tom Rudenko, chief audit executive of 99 Cents Only. "This solution provided us with a very user-friendly, easily implemented approach to fully digitizing our audit process, including risk assessment, planning, workpapers, and reporting."
Rudenko recently joined the company as its director of internal audit and chief audit executive. He is a longtime user of ACL's data analytics solutions, which he is leveraging at 99 Cents Only Stores to build out the technological capabilities of the audit function for both strategic planning and day-to-day audit management.
"A key value that this organization is able to derive from ACL GRC is its immediate ability to solidify a cohesive audit team that can easily collaborate and work with better sightlines," said Dan Zitting, VP of product management and design at ACL. "By starting with a centralized system through use of ACL GRC, they will also be able to easily integrate analytics for data-driven risk assessment and evaluation of controls."
The move comes under a month after the retailer was unable to file its annual report within the timeframe specified by the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The company's annual report on form 10-K for its fiscal year ended March 30 was due at the SEC no later than June 28. However, because of a range of inventory valuation issues identified by auditors and a new CFO, the company said it was unable to file the report without unreasonable effort or expense.

Barack Obama is getting a lot of advice about how to hoist his poll numbers back into positive territory, which includes affirming that he is indeed a Christian and not a Muslim, as a quarter of Americans and 46% of Republicans believe, according to a recent TIME poll. Many a pundit has predicted that we are sure to see the Obamas attending some nice, safe church one day soon, the girls in their Sunday best, Obama with a big Bill Clinton Bible under his arm or explaining what Glenn Beck calls Obama's "version of Christianity." I devoutly hope the President resists this advice or, if he feels the call to worship, that he finds a way to do it that meets his private needs rather than his political ones.
The Constitution's crowded First Amendment protects freedom of both speech and religion, but that does not always protect a President who may not want to speak about his religion. We've seen what happens when it serves a President's interest to flaunt his faith which it almost inevitably does, since every poll affirms that Americans want their leaders to submit to some higher power. Surveys have consistently suggested that a Catholic or Protestant, Muslim or Mormon or Jew would have an easier time being elected than an Apathetic Agnostic who declares, "I don't know, and I don't care."
Religious tests, a constitutional taboo, are a political tradition. In 1800, Thomas Jefferson's opponents disdained his deism and argued that while the Constitution and the law did not disqualify him from the White House, public opinion should. In 1908, supporters of the Evangelical William Jennings Bryan condemned Unitarian William Howard Taft as an apostate: "Think of the United States with a President who ... looks upon our immaculate Savior as a ... low, cunning imposter!" Even the devout Dwight Eisenhower was attacked during the 1952 campaign as an "anti-Christian Cultist," partly because as an adult he had never been much for churchgoing, but more for the awkward fact that his parents were Jehovah's Witnesses. This helps explain why he consulted Billy Graham about which church to join and ran billboards that proclaimed "Faith in God and Country; that's Eisenhower how about you?"
But the ultimate test came 50 years ago this month, when John F. Kennedy was locked in electoral battle with Richard Nixon, who was smart enough to know that Kennedy's Catholicism would likely hurt him only in states he wouldn't have won anyway. Don't touch this issue, Nixon ordered his surrogates; but that did not stop a group of Protestant leaders from gathering in Washington for an anti-Kennedy rally. "Our American culture is at stake," Norman Vincent Peale warned them. "I don't say it won't survive, but it won't be what it was." The group released a manifesto suggesting that a Catholic President would inevitably be a Vatican puppet.
Whether his hand was forced or he saw an opportunity, Kennedy accepted an invitation into the lion's den. On Sept. 12, 1960, he stood before the Greater Houston Ministerial Association to deliver one of the sharpest speeches ever given on the public implications of private belief.
Kennedy told the pastors that he had come to talk about "not what kind of church I believe in, for that should be important only to me but what kind of America I believe in." That was an America where church and state were absolutely separate and priests and preachers did not tell parishioners how to vote. And then, the prescient warning: "While this year it may be a Catholic against whom the finger of suspicion is pointed," he said, "in other years it has been and may someday be again a Jew or a Quaker or a Unitarian or a Baptist ... Today I may be the victim, but tomorrow it may be you until the whole fabric of our harmonious society is ripped."
Half a century and many elections later, Obama does have a duty to speak, not about what kind of church he believes in but what kind of America. His muddled remarks about building the Islamic center near Ground Zero helped raise and roil that controversy beyond a local zoning fight. Intolerance comes in many forms; arrogance is one of them, as is dismissing one's opponents as being ignorant or bigoted rather than drawn deeply to different principles or priorities. Obama used to talk at length about reconciliation and common ground. Sometimes the faith a President needs to show is faith in his own principles.

" Genre: Junior Books / Author: Sarah Dessen / Paperback / 384 Pages / Book is published 2008-07-24 by Hodder Children's Books "
* Prices may differ from that shown
This book is essentially a love story. A girl named Remy Starr is anything but your typical romantic heroine - she's cynical, pessimistic and has a set way of doing things when it comes to relationships. Most of these emotions stem from the relationships she has seen her mother involved in - with most of her marriages lasting only a year or two. Remy is very preoccupied with getting to College and essentially getting away from her messed up family life. This however becomes much harder when she meets Dexter and begins to (in his opinion) fall in love. There are constant witty battles between the pair about Remy's true feelings - but one thing's certain - she is acting in a way she never has before. I won't give much else away because it will ruin what is left of the plot.
Although it does look at face value like a simple love story, with closer reading you can perceive some events in the book and some characters in particular to be making a comment on love, what we perceive love to be as a culture and what love can mean to different people. It got me thinking a bit, but it's still quite a basic read.
The text isn't difficult to follow, and it's not the best writing that I've seen, but it's great for teenagers (young girls in particular) or for English students!!! After a long day studying Chaucer, Marlowe and Shakespeare, it's nice to wind down with an easy read - and this ticks the box for me! I wouldn't recommend this for someone who wants something exciting, or perhaps something a bit enigmatic, but if you want an easy read with few twists in the plot, then this is brill.
Hope this was helpful :)
Remy Starr doesn't believe in love. Her mother has been married numerous times to a bunch of very different men, none of the marriages lasting long at all. On top of that, all she has known of her father is a song he dedicated to her called This Lullaby, in which he states 'I will let you down', something she comes to expect of everyone. She doesn't date boys expecting the relationship to last and finishes things with her current boyfriend so that she can go to university in autumn after a fun filled summer with no strings attached. And then she meets Dexter and everything changes. Dexter is in a band (a huge no no), is unable to ever tie his shoe laces and even dares to eat in Remys car. But she can't help herself, she has a thing for him, whether she's like to admit it or not. Her relationship with Dexter starts to change her opinions on love, is it real? Was she wrong? At the same time her mum has remarried again, to someone truly awful, and her brother seems to have fallen in love, something Remy would have thought impossible. Her full of fun summer of freedom changes dramatically and fast, but how will it end?
This is a pretty generic teen book, kind of a 'girl has grown up a bit wrong but finds true meaning' etc etc, but regardless, it's a good one. The story moves pretty fast and is never boring. You do get what you'd expect you would, the ending is totally predictable, but then I'd think it would be a disappointment if it wasn't, this book isn't trying to be quirky or unusual, I think it's just trying to talk to teenage girls about what love is and what it's meant to be, and it does manage that. Remy is a great character to work this story around. She is so strong and confident at the start, kind of an unbreakable character, she doesn't want to let anyone in, but all it takes is one person to start to break this well built defence down. I definitely think that this is a person and a scenario that is easy for almost everyone to relate to.
This isn't a book for adults, more like mid/late teens, and as an adult I thought that the writing style was a bit too simple for me, and sometimes it tried too hard to be young or 'cool'. Saying that, it is pretty easy to read, probably easier for someone a bit younger than myself. I liked the theme of the story, most of the characters (a couple of Remys friends are quite annoying), I liked how it moved along and the development of the plot and the characters. This is a good book, I'd definitely recommend it to someone in their teens to read it, and of course for adults who like children's/teen fiction. It's a nice love story, but don't expect anything out of the ordinary or completely astounding.

Just yesterday I was fantasizing about Kojima Production's Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker making the jump from PSP to PS3 through Sony's new PSP Remaster program. It seems that dream is soon to become a reality, reports the French website JVN.com. The announcement is expected to come at E3 in June.
This makes 100% sense. Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker is one of the PSP's grandest offerings. The game is massive, which unfortunately lead to many cramped hands while playing it on the compact PSP. But on the PS3, Peace Walker will have room to breathe and be a much more comfortable experience. The addition of HD visuals and controls tailored to the PS3's DualShock controller are just icing on the cake.
In addition to Peace Walker making the transition to PS3, it's also heavily rumored that Metal Gear Solid and Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty will be announced as a HD-remastering bundle for PS3 at E3. The same type of deal that the first two God of War and Sly Cooper titles received. We could be in for one hell of a Metal Gear Solid-centric bombshell come early June. And that isn't even factoring in any new news on Metal Gear Solid: Rising, the upcoming action-adventure game starring Raiden. Metal Gear Solid fans, get pumped.

Formula One boss Bernie Ecclestone insists he will not resign because of his comments praising Adolf Hitler's leadership.
In an interview with The Associated Press on Monday, Ecclestone defended his weekend comments that Hitler "got things done."
Ecclestone, F1's commercial rights holder, dismissed calls from the World Jewish Congress that he resign. He said those calling for him to leave did not have such authority.
THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. Check back soon for further information. AP's earlier story is below.
BERLIN (AP) – Formula One boss Bernie Ecclestone says the furor over his reported comment that Adolf Hitler got "things done" is a misunderstanding.
The German daily newspaper Bild quoted Ecclestone in a story published Monday as saying that "this was all a big misunderstanding."
The World Jewish Congress had called for Ecclestone to resign after his comments appeared in The Times of London on Saturday.
The flap comes ahead of the German Grand Prix at the Nuerburgring circuit on Sunday.
"I did not put Hitler forward as a positive example, but simply noted that, before his appalling crimes, he acted successfully against unemployment and the economic crisis," Ecclestone was quoted as saying in the Bild article, which noted that Hitler created jobs through rearmament.
Ecclestone said that it was never his intention to "hurt the feelings of a community," the Bild reported. "Many of my closest friends are Jews."
The Times quoted Ecclestone as saying: "In a lot of ways, terrible to say this I suppose, but apart from the fact that Hitler got taken away and persuaded to do things that I have no idea whether he wanted to do or not, he was in the way that he could command a lot of people, able to get things done."
But "in the end he got lost, so he wasn't a very good dictator."

WWI Poster Stamps
The collecting of poster stamps was a well established hobby by the time World War I came about so it is not surprising that a set of these stamps was used to promote the United War Work Campaign which took place November 11-18, 1918. These miniature posters, like their larger counterparts, were used to advertise products and to promote causes. The United War Work Campaign was a coordinated effort to raise funds for the seven private "welfare" agencies, including the American Library Association's Library War Service, that supported our armed forces during and after World War I. The goal of the campaign was to raise $170 million, but $205 million was actually raised. ALA received $3.8 million as its share of the campaign. The stamp in the set of poster stamps that featured ALA was based on a full sized poster illustrated by John E. Sheridan. I have Sheridan's full sized "Hey Fellows" poster in my personal collection. The Tutt Library of Colorado College has the Sheridan poster and other ALA WWI posters displayed on its website. Stamp collectors include poster stamps in a category that they call "Cinderellas" or pseudo postage stamps.

Officials are concerned that a sinkhole in West Manchester Township, York County could grow even bigger.
The sinkhole, which is around 3 feet wide, opened up in the front yard of a home in the 3100 block of West Market street Friday night. Crews had to shut off water to the home.
Officials are not sure how deep the hole is, and there was initial concern that the sinkhole was near a gas line.
However a first responder told abc27 that the line may be far enough away to ease concerns.
Recent rain may cause the sinkhole to grow even bigger.

KEEP calm and carry on – that's the message from defender Ben Mee as Burnley's promotion push extends into the Easter weekend.
The Clarets went into Saturday's home game with Middlesbrough knowing that a win, and anything less for Derby, would ensure automatic promotion to the Premier League.
Instead the day ended with back-to-back home defeats for the first time since November 2011 through Jacob Butterfield's breakaway goal, while an 11-point gap was reduced to eight.
But Mee says they will take the positives of a dominant performance against Boro into the Good Friday game at Blackpool, insisting they are not feeling the pressure.
"We are actually really calm and not even thinking about it at the minute," said the 24-year-old.
"I think everyone's really calm to be honest. Because we've kept on such a level all season, we're just carrying on.
"You'd be surprised how relaxed everyone is. It showed out there. We played really well but we just couldn't score.
"It wasn't a nervy performance by any means. We went out there and we wanted to win.
"We just wanted to put on a performance and win the game, we weren't concentrating on anything else.
"Like we have done all season we just focused on the game ahead. We're disappointed not to win but the performance was there and if we play like that again we should beat teams."
Burnley encountered a Middlesbrough goalkeeper in sparkling form as Dimi Konstantopoulos made saves from Ashley Barnes and Ross Wallace and denied free kicks from Kieran Trippier and David Jones, while Michael Kightly headed against the bar in the first half and Jason Shackell had a header cleared off the line.
"The keeper's had a real worldy of a game, he probably won't have a better one all season," said Mee, who glanced a second half header wide.
"It's just been a bit of a disappointing way to finish the game. We had a lot of chances but just couldn't quite get there.
"But we're pleased with our performance, we're not too disappointed about that. There are a lot of positives still in the defeat."
Burnley had not suffered a league defeat at Turf Moor all season up until their last home game against Leicester City.
Few would have expected a second to follow so quickly, but Mee said: "We've got a great record here and we're proud of that.
"It doesn't tell the whole story of the game. They'll be delighted with that win but we know we've played really well and we're going to take the same form into our last four games hopefully and go and show what we can do in front of goal.
"We know what we're doing on the pitch, we know the lads are going to put on a good performance so there are no nerves there."


text: Ms. S's boudoir session was different from any other I had ever done in the past. It was early January and we had big plans of going out in the snow to a secluded area for some of her photos! We were both very cold…her more so than me!…and despite getting both our vehicles stuck in the snow, I would say it was a fabulous shoot! Ms S was such a trouper! I love how some of her photos turned out in the black and white version. Here's some of my favorites:

PORT CHARLOTTE — The Rays invested more than $7 million to bring in RHP Rafael Soriano to finish off games.
Then Soriano didn't make it to the end of Friday's opening spring training workout.
Soriano left the field with head athletic trainer Ron Porterfield after stretching and playing catch, but only because he was suffering from what the team said was a chest cold.
Manager Joe Maddon said it was "no cause for concern," and that he was impressed Soriano came out on the field at all. Soriano said it was not a big deal, something he'd had before at the start of camp: "I think it was just too cold for me."
Besides, he said, he doesn't need much work in the spring, planning to wait until next week to throw his first bullpen session and working in only 7-8 games. He said he threw a few bullpen sessions before leaving the Dominican Republic and felt "great."
Maddon said he had no problem with Soriano, 30, setting his own schedule. "I just want to go with what he's done in the past to get ready," he said.
NO BRANYAN: Free agent OF/1B Russell Branyan turned down an offer from the Rays for the promise of more playing time with the Indians, agreeing to what ESPN reported was a one-year, $2 million deal with a $5 million 2011 option. The Rays, intrigued by his lefty power at a bargain price, were looking at him for what appeared to be a part-time role.
NAVI UPDATE: C Dioner Navarro said the lawsuit filed by his former agents, Tampa-based Startrust, to recover fees, expenses and money loaned to his wife dating to 2005 will not be a distraction.
"It will be taken care of," Navarro said. "I don't want to be stressing about anything. … It was a long journey, a beautiful journey, but everything gets to an end. I felt it was time we went our separate ways. …
"There are no hard feelings. I really appreciate everything they did for me, and they did it well."
Navarro, fully recovered from offseason surgery on a nerve in his left elbow, said he realizes the importance of bouncing back from his poor 2009 season.
"I messed up last year," he said. "They gave me another opportunity, I don't want to mess this up.
"I'm pretty sure this year is going to be the biggest year of my career. I think it all depends on what I do this year if I get a long-term contract or not. You guys know this is the place I want to be, this is the place I want to play for the rest of my career."
FIRST IMPRESSION: Maddon said he was pleased with the conditioning and attitude of the 35 pitchers and catchers. … His preworkout address was essentially that to get back to the playoffs, it's imperative they do the little things better. … Among Maddon's highlights Friday was seeing prospect RHP Jeremy Hellickson throw for the first time. "Easy arm and the ball comes out hot," he said.
Miscellany: Joining the early reporting position players were INF Reid Brignac, OF Fernando Perez and nonroster infielders J.J. Furmaniak and Chris Richard. … INF Joe Dillon worked out with the catchers, an experiment first talked about last year. … Nonroster RHP Joaquin Benoit, trying to come back after missing 2009 because of shoulder surgery, threw "easily without any kind of hesitation," Maddon said.

Vehicles can be tough to find enough space for, especially if you only have a single-car garage and a narrow driveway. For many individuals and families, there simply isn't enough space around to hold their daily commuter plus a spare car or recreational vehicle. Fortunately for those who need more parking space, many storage facilities offer vehicle storage at affordable rates.
Vehicle storage is so much more than storing a sedan. Since there are several types of commonly owned vehicles, the self storage industry has adapted to offer storage for all types of vehicles, including recreational vehicles. Here are the different vehicle storage options you can find at many storage facilities.
Not all vehicle storage is created equal, and that's largely by design. Storage facilities have created several types of vehicle storage so you can find the protection you desire at a price you can afford. Whether you're looking for the cheapest storage option available, or you need maximum protection for your vehicle, you can find exactly what you're looking for.
When looking for vehicle storage, there are many things you should consider, including what amenities each storage facility offers. While certain amenities may increase the cost of your rental, they're well worth the investment since they keep your vehicle safe and easy to access.
Depending on what form of vehicle storage you have selected, you'll want to prepare your vehicle prior to placing it into storage. If you're storing it outdoors, it's important to ensure that it's well-protected from the weather. Boats and RVs may require covers and wheel protection for prolonged storage, and cars could benefit from covers as well.
It's also important to clean the interior of all vehicles when storing outdoors, so critters aren't drawn inside by the smell of leftover food. When storing indoors, be sure to get rid of all moisture so that it doesn't get trapped inside your storage unit and cause rust or mildew growth.

Death is nothing at all.
It does not count.
I have only slipped away into the next room.
Everything remains as it was.
The old life that we lived so fondly together is untouched, unchanged.
Whatever we were to each other, that we are still.
Call me by the old familiar name.
Speak of me in the easy way which you always used.
Put no sorrow in your tone.
Laugh as we always laughed at the little jokes that we enjoyed together.
Play, smile, think of me, pray for me.
Let my name be ever the household word that it always was.
Let it be spoken without effort
Life means all that it ever meant. It is the same as it ever was.
There is unbroken continuity.
Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight?
I am but waiting for you, for an interval, somewhere very near, just around the corner.
All is well. Nothing is hurt; nothing is lost.
One brief moment and all will be as it was before.
How we shall laugh at the trouble of parting, when we meet again.
Note: Cause of Death: automobile accident

A charming journey of discovery. Once there was a boy, and that boy loved stars very much. So much so that he decided to catch one of his very own. Waiting for them to grow tired from being up in the sky all night didn't work. Climbing to the top of the tallest tree? No, not tall enough. The boy had a rocket ship, but it was made of paper and didn't fly well at all. Finally, just when the boy was ready to give up, he learned that sometimes things aren't where, or what, we expect them to be.

NEW YORK — Trading LHP Scott Kazmir to the Angels was about the money, in that it allows the Rays to keep the core of their team together for 2010 and helps going forward with Carlos Peña, Carl Crawford and Grant Balfour headed toward 2011 free agency.
But the Rays were also excited about what they got back, primarily versatile INF-OF Sean Rodriguez, who could end up playing a lot at second base.
And, Angels people say, they should be.
"We're — we were — excited about him, too," Angels GM Tony Reagins said. "We thought that he was a player who was going to impact our major-league club real soon.
"He's got power. He plays multiple positions — he plays second, short, third; he can go in the outfield, centerfield. His versatility is what's attractive — kind of a super-utility type guy. …
"The only thing I would say that he has to work on is the strikeouts. I think he strikes out a little bit too much at this point, so as he becomes more selective he could be very, very attractive. That was our plan for him long term."
Rodriguez does have something of a fan club, striking out 122 times in 459 plate appearances (one every 3.76) in 108 Triple-A games this season while hitting 30 homers (second most of all Triple-A players) and driving in 98 runs. He has averaged a strikeout every 4.76 plate appearances in the minors (681 in 744 games), one every 3.48 in the majors (62 in 71 games).
The Rays are well aware and will work with Rodriguez on it. In a way, he'll fit right in, as they had four players in the AL's top 19 in strikeouts—- Peña (163, one every 3.50 plate appearances), B.J. Upton (152, 4.12), Evan Longoria (140, 4.79) and Pat Burrell (119, 4.00).
But overall, Rodriguez, 24, should be a valuable addition. The Rays' plans are still evolving, but there's talk of playing S-Rod at second against left-handed pitchers with switch-hitting Ben Zobrist in rightfield and with Zobrist at second and Matt Joyce in right vs. right-handers.
"We think Sean is going to be a very good major-league player and that he will help us win games in 2010 and beyond," Rays executive VP Andrew Friedman said.
And if that includes making him the primary second baseman, the Angels say he can handle it. "Oh, yeah, he's good," SS Erick Aybar said.
"Absolutely," Reagins said. "He can play second base."
RAYS RUMBLINGS: Returning coaches got two-year contracts. … Rays TV ratings on FSN were down nearly 10 percent from 2008, to 3.13, according to SportsBusiness Journal, and households viewing dropped 8 percent to 57,000. … The search for a hitting coach is external; Rudy Jamarillo, who was let go by Texas, isn't likely to be a candidate, but former Ray Eduardo Perez may be. … Yankees GM Brian Cashman, who foresaw the Rays' rise to competitiveness, says now: "They'll be in the mix to stay — unfortunately." … What if? SI.com's Jon Heyman says Bobby Abreu turned down the same two-year, $16 million deal the Rays ended up giving Burrell. … Ex-Rays OF Rocco Baldelli looks to be headed back on the market after a so-so year (.253, seven HRs, 23 RBIs, 62 games) in Boston. … Tim Bogar, the 2008 quality assurance coach, is among the candidates for the Astros manager's job. … For what it's worth, Crawford's name has come up in articles or blogs about the Braves, Cardinals, Cubs, Giants, Mets, Red Sox, Tigers and White Sox. … There will be other co-coordinators added to the minor-league staff in addition to former Astros pitching coach Dewey Robinson. … Class A Bowling Green moves next season from the South Atlantic to the Midwest League.
