In Matthew 27:9,10 Jeremiah is mentioned as being the prophet that is being quoted and/or being referred to when in fact it's Zechariah 11:12,13 that is actually being made reference to. I looked it up in my Matthew Henry commentary, but he does not address it. It would be nice if you could solve this conundrum.
Your question about the mention of "Jeremiah" in Matthew 27 is a very difficult one:
Then was fulfilled what had been spoken by the prophet Jeremiah, saying, "And they took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of him on whom a price had been set by some of the sons of Israel, and they gave them for the potter's field, as the Lord directed me," (Matt. 28:9-10, English Standard Version)
Commentators usually either skip it or come up with theories that are unacceptable, as I have discovered in consulting many scholarly works.
One possible approach is to read Matthew as a free and complicated adaptation of Zechariah 11:
Then I said to them, "If it seems good to you, give me my wages; but if not, keep them." And they weighed out as my wages thirty pieces of silver. Then the LORD said to me, "Throw it to the potter"--the lordly price at which I was priced by them. So I took the thirty pieces of silver and threw them into the house of the LORD, to the potter. (Zech. 11:12-13, ESV)
along with a composite reference to Jeremiah 18:
The word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD: "Arise, and go down to the potter's house, and there I will let you hear my words," (Jer. 18:1-2, ESV)
and possibly Jeremiah 32:
Jeremiah said, "The word of the LORD came to me: Behold, Hanamel the son of Shallum your uncle will come to you and say, 'Buy my field that is at Anathoth, for the right of redemption by purchase is yours.' Then Hanamel my cousin came to me in the court of the guard, in accordance with the word of the LORD, and said to me, 'Buy my field that is at Anathoth in the land of Benjamin, for the right of possession and redemption is yours; buy it for yourself.' Then I knew that this was the word of the LORD. And I bought the field at Anathoth from Hanamel my cousin, and weighed out the money to him, seventeen shekels of silver. I signed the deed, sealed it, got witnesses, and weighed the money on scales. Then I took the sealed deed of purchase, containing the terms and conditions and the open copy. And I gave the deed of purchase to Baruch the son of Neriah son of Mahseiah, in the presence of Hanamel my cousin, in the presence of the witnesses who signed the deed of purchase, and in the presence of all the Judeans who were sitting in the court of the guard. I charged Baruch in their presence, saying, 'Thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: Take these deeds, both this sealed deed of purchase and this open deed, and put them in an earthenware vessel, that they may last for a long time. For thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: Houses and fields and vineyards shall again be bought in this land.'" (Jer. 32:6-15, ESV)
(Just how free Matthew's adaptation is can be seen by his use of the third person plural, "they gave them for the potter's field," whereas Zechariah uses the first person singular, "So I took the thirty pieces of silver and threw them into the house of the LORD, to the potter"). It's reasonably clear that Matthew had both Zechariah and Jeremiah in mind.
The important truth to keep in mind is that everything that befell Jesus was according to the plan and providence of God in fulfillment of prophecy. In his prophecy Zechariah mocks the price by which God's faithful shepherd was valued (Zech. 11:13, "Then the Lord said to me, 'Throw it to the potter'the lordly price at which I was priced by them," ESV). Similarly, Jesus the Shepherd of Israel was valued at the paltry sum usually reserved for slaves. Judas, a son of Israel, had negotiated the price of Israel's Messiah, the One whose worth is priceless.
So what to do with the money? The now-scrupulous priests and elders of Israel must keep the blood money outside the sacred precincts of the temple!
I hope some of the thoughts I've put together will be helpful to you.
"Questions and Answers" is a weekly feature of the OPC website.

We recommend that you present your concerns in these areas to the appropriate judicatory. In most cases this will be to a local pastor, elder, or session. We do not want the website to replace personal involvement in, or commitment to, the local, visible church.
While we will respond to every serious questioner, we are not bound to give a substantive answer to every question, should we deem the question to be beyond the scope of our purpose or our own ability to answer.
You will receive an answer by e-mail. Please be patient as many of our respondents are busy pastors. The response to your question may take up to two (2) weeks. Some of the questions submitted will be chosen to be posted here, along with the corresponding answers.

Palais Theatre, St Kilda
November 3, 4
IT IS a formula that has served The Trocks well for nearly four decades: blokes in drag performing parodies of classical ballet works replete with lashings of slapstick, and, of course, slashings of lipstick. The repertoire for this tour is similar to the company's previous foray downunder. We begin with Swan Lake and end with Paquita and, in true Trockadero style, the comedic crashes and tulle-laden fumbles are underpinned by some really strong dancing.
Russian ballerina Anna Pavlova gets her own tribute, courtesy of Ida Nevasayneva (just say it out loud) in a moulting, staggering, and over-the-top interpretation of The Dying Swan. Le Grand pas de Quatre sees four ballerinas vying for the spotlight until Lariska Dumbchenko, the only ballerina prim enough to wear pearls onstage, proves to be top diva.
It is helpful to think of The Trocks as the clowns of classical ballet; this is a farce that extends to the program notes, where each performer has a string of pseudo-Russian alter egos and outlandishly hilarious ''bios''.
As with all good send-ups, these dancers know their target inside and out. But let's face it - watching a bunch of dudes in sparkly tutus and pointe shoes toppling like dominoes is going to be pretty funny whether you are an experienced ballet-goer or not.
And if the formula works - audiences return year after year for a giggle at the outlandish antics of The Trocks - why change a thing?

Part I | Part II | Part III | Part IV | Part V | Part VI
Summary: Kirk & Spock arrive in the transporter room de-aged to five years old. While crew members search for a solution, Kirk & Spock play together on the Enterprise. Fluffy de-aged fic.
Jim and Spock step out of the bathroom, after changing into their black underclothes, when there's a buzz at the door of McCoy's quarters. The doctor presses a button and Scotty walks in, followed closely by Chekov.
Scotty smiles brightly at them. "Morning, boys! Lookin' forward to being back to your old selves again?"
Spock remains silent as Jim frowns up at Scotty. "I don't wanna be my old self."
"I don't think you'll mind it so much once you're back there, lad."
Jim looks away, focusing his attention on a shelf. His small fingers pick at the binding of one of McCoy's ancient medical texts. "I don't wanna be back there."
"We have no recollection of being adults," Spock adds quietly. "The idea of returning to adult bodies is a daunting prospect."
"Ay, understandable," Scotty says with a nod. "But no worries, we'll have you fixed up right and proper, and soon this'll all just be a great story."
Jim doesn't respond as his fingers travel over the gadgets on McCoy's shelf. Spock moves to stand beside him, offering silent comfort as they wait for instructions from the adults.
As McCoy talks to Scotty and Chekov, questioning them on the process, Spock follows Jim around the doctor's quarters. His inner clock tells him it is approximately 04:00 hours and if Jim's yawns are any indication he is absolutely correct.
Spock leans in to inquire, "are you still tired, Jim?"
"Nah," Jim replies untruthfully. "I'm just lookin' at stuff." He yawns again, so forcefully his eyes water.
"I assume we will have the opportunity to resume sleep after we are re-aged."
Jim looks cautiously behind him, before leaning in closer to Spock and replying, "I'm not goin'."
Spock can feel his eyebrow disappear into his hairline. "Jim," he whispers. "I do not believe we have a choice."
"I'm gonna run away." He grins at Spock. "You're gonna come with me, right?"
"Jim, I--"
Spock is about to explain the logistical problems they'll face in attempting to run away on a starship, when he is interrupted by McCoy.
"You boys ready? We're heading to the transporter room now."
Jim gives Spock an exaggerated wink just before they turn to face the doctor.
"We gotta visit Maggie before we go."
"I'm not sure we have time for that, kid."
Jim frowns. "I told her I'd come back everyday. So we gotta say goodbye."
McCoy glances between the two boys, before focusing on Jim who lets out another yawn. "You boys really want to say goodbye to a plant?"
"Yeah," Jim replies. "Or she'll be sad."
The doctor glances at Spock, and Spock nods. "It is unlikely to interfere with our transporter trip. A few minutes will only delay the re-aging, not effect it. Besides, doctor, she is not simply a plant. She is a sentient being who is capable of thought and feeling."
A smirk rises on the doctor's mouth. "Five years old, my ass."
Spock glances at Jim who is staring at Bones with surprise.
"That's another swear," Jim says quietly.
McCoy smiles and reaches over to pat Jim's hair. "Sure was, kid. And once you're back to your old self you won't even think twice about my cussin'."
"Mister Sulu, you wanna jump with me under Maggie's leaves?"
Sulu smiles at Jim, watching as the small boy jumps in the air. Jim's arms flail above him as he reaches for Maggie's branches.
"Maybe next time."
"I'm supposed to grow up later. But I'll come back and we can jump."
Sulu's smile widens and he winks at Jim. "Sounds good."
Jim grins and glances over at Spock who is standing quietly and smiling to himself as Maggie curls her leaves around his ears.
"How come she always touches you, Spock? I keep tryin' to touch her leaves, but she won't let me."
Sulu interjects, "I think she's teasing you, Jim."
"Teasin'?" Jim looks up at the swirling vines and pouts. "Maggie, stop teasin' me."
The vines slow to a stop above Jim's head, and seem to droop slightly.
"She wasn't teasing to be mean to you," Sulu explains. "She does it because she likes you. The same way she pets Spock because she likes him."
Jim continues peering up at the vines as one branch moves cautiously towards his face. Maggie rolls one of her leaves and taps Jim gently on the nose. He waits patiently as the leaf moves down, pausing, outstretched and waiting as if offering a handshake. Jim raises his hand and slips it inside the leaf, grinning as he shakes hands with Maggie.
"Pleased to meet you!" Jim says with a laugh.
Maggie's leaves flutter, as if mimicking Jim's laughter, before several vines move forward to wrap around Jim's arms and curl through his hair.
"Pick me up again, Maggie!" Jim is laughing and jumping, encouraging Maggie to lift him like she did the day they met.
McCoy, who had been watching from the sidelines, suddenly steps forward. "Now, Jim, be careful."
"It's alright," Sulu says, his hand raised to pause McCoy's actions. "She won't hurt him."
Spock watches with wonder as the vines grip Jim's arms tightly before lifting him into the air. Jim grins down at Spock, squealing with delight as he kicks his legs out. Maggie bounces him once or twice before gently lowering him back to the floor.
"Perhaps I--" Spock looks up shyly at Maggie's vines, almost embarrassed to ask. He whispers to the leaf closest to his face, "perhaps I could have a turn?"
The leaves flutter around him suddenly, and Spock can feel strong vines wrapping around his arms. He looks at Jim in surprise, and the blond boy looks back at him in amazement as he rises off the floor.
"Spock! You're up in the air!"
Too thrilled to speak, Spock simply nods and allows himself to smile down at Jim.
The grip on his arms seems to tighten slightly, and Spock can feel himself being bounced up and down. He kicks out a leg, testing the feeling, before kicking both legs in the same manner as Jim.
"Having fun up there?"
Spock feels himself tense as he glances over at McCoy and Sulu, but is relieved to see they look amused. Spock nods at the doctor, and they exchange a smile.
Maggie bounces him once more before slowly lowering him to the floor. The vines unravel, releasing his arms, and Spock reaches up to pet the leaves as they pull away from him.
"Alright, boys," McCoy says quietly. "Time to go."
Maggie reaches out two branches, one towards Jim and one towards Spock. Jim raises his hands to grasp Maggie's leaves and press them flat against his cheeks. He's whispering, but Spock is close enough to hear him.
"I'm gonna come visit you. Even when I'm big. I promise."
Spock closes his eyes as he reaches up to touch the leaves curled around his ears. "Goodbye, Maggie," he whispers. "I will miss you."
Maggie pats their heads before pulling her vines away completely, swirling them above the boys' heads and fluttering her leaves in a waving motion.
As they head for the door, Jim slips his hand into Spock's.
They round another corner, heading for the transporter room, and Jim's pace seems to slow. He still grasps Spock's hand, but he falls at least two steps behind with their arms outstretched between them.
"Bones, is the transporter gonna hurt?"
"No," McCoy replies as he continues marching down the corridor. "You'll barely feel it, kid."
Spock attempts to keep up with the doctor while also slowing his pace enough for Jim to keep up with him.
"What alterations did Mister Scott make in order to facilitate our transformation?"
"I couldn't tell you, Spock." McCoy says with a smirk. "All I know is Chekov came up with a suggestion and it worked. But I promise, you'll have plenty of time to discuss it with them later."
Jim gives Spock's hand a quick squeeze before letting go. Spock halts his footsteps, and looks back to see Jim crouched over his boots.
"Laces are untied," Jim mumbles as he reaches for the trailing strings.
McCoy travels several steps ahead of them, distracted by something on his PADD, before turning around. "What's the hold-up?"
"It appears Jim's laces have come undone."
"Not sure why that yeoman gave you boots with laces," McCoy mutters. "Can ya do them up yourself, kid, or you need help?"
"I can do it," Jim replies as he makes two loops and twists them together.
"Alright, do it quick and catch up. Scotty and Chekov are waiting for us in the transporter room." McCoy continues down the hallway, his eyes locked on his PADD.
Spock watches Jim tie his boots, waiting for the small boy to catch up with him, when Jim suddenly turns and runs. His footsteps are seemingly silent as his small feet hit the floor, and he nearly reaches the end of the corridor when he turns to shout at Spock, "come on!"
At the sound of the shout, McCoy turns back in surprise. "Jim!"
Jim stands at the end of the corridor, motioning for Spock to join him, while Spock remains stuck to his spot on the floor.
"Come on, you two, this is no time for games." McCoy takes a lumbering step forward, and Spock briefly considers his options – obeying the doctor, or following Jim.
"Spock!" Jim shouts at him, his arms flailing as he appears torn between waiting for Spock and running for his life.
Glancing back at McCoy, Spock gives the doctor an apologetic look. He doesn't want to disobey, but he doesn't want to leave Jim to wander the ship alone. McCoy is only a few feet away when Jim shouts at him again. "Spock, run!"
And suddenly he's running.
"Yeah!" Jim jumps at the end of the corridor, punching his small fist into the air.
Spock's feet seem to soar as he runs towards Jim. He can't remember running before, other than for physical education purposes, and he can't deny the feeling of freedom that comes over him.
Jim's eyes grow wide as Spock gets closer. "Bones is comin'!"
When Spock reaches Jim they turn the corner together, linking their hands, and run down another corridor. Behind them they can hear Bones' raised voice as he shouts into his communicator, "--running away, or some fool thing. Right now they're headed back to the lift. Someone cut them off, but don't scare them."
Jim's giggles echo through the corridor as the lift comes into sight. "We're runnin' away!"
Spock nods in agreement as they reach the lift, his fingers mashing the buttons in his excitement. The doors slide open and the boys run inside. They turn and see McCoy round a corner just as the doors whoosh shut.
"What is our plan, Jim?"
"I didn't think of one before I started runnin'," Jim admits as he examines the information panel. He reaches up and presses a button for the lowest level of the ship, and the lift springs into motion. "We'll just figure somethin' out."
As the lift slides to a stop, Jim and Spock step cautiously off the lift. "Nobody's here," Jim says quietly as they look from side to side, trying to decide which corridor to take.
As if on cue, voices echo up the corridor on their right. Footsteps follow, and Spock can tell there are at least three people running towards them. Jim's eyes grow wide.
"Jim, we must run."
They bolt to the left, scurrying up the corridor. Spock notes each door as they run past, trying to decide which room would be best for hiding.
"This one!" Jim shouts as he grasps Spock's hand and pulls him through a large door. Immediately Spock recognizes the area as the engineering room in which they played pirates.
"I remember this one from before," Jim explains as he leads Spock to the back of the room. "Lotsa good places to hide."
As they encounter a series of tubes, they hear the large entrance door slide open.
"Security says they detected movement in one of the engineering rooms. I'm checking it out right now, sir."
"Comm me if you find them." McCoy's voice rings out over a communicator, and Jim looks at Spock with fear.
"We gotta hide!"
They enter the tube as quickly as possible, and climb up the ladder inside. Spock reaches the top first and Jim climbs up behind him, standing close as they share the same rung.
"We can stay here until they go away," Jim whispers. "Then we'll hide somewhere else."
Spock glances around the inside of the tube, listening to the ensign walking around outside, and he suddenly feels defeated. "Jim," he whispers back. "I am not sure we can hide on the ship indefinitely."
"Maybe not indefitedly, but maybe for awhile?"
"How will we eat?"
"We can sneak into the mess hall, likes spies!"
"Where will we sleep?"
"We can hide somewhere and sleep there and no one will find us."
When Spock doesn't reply, Jim's mouth falls into a frown. "You don't wanna run away anymore?"
Spock reaches for Jim's hand, attempting to reassure him. "I am not sure how we will manage to hide indefinitely. A starship is not conducive to remaining hidden for long periods of time."
He smiles shyly at Jim. "However, if you wish to continue our adventure, I will stay with you."
A small smile moves over Jim's face. "You mean it?"
Spock nods.
He stares into the bright blue eyes for a moment, and suddenly Jim leans forward and plants a kiss on his cheek. Spock's free hand flies up to touch his face, his fingers moving over the spot.
"Jim, why?"
Jim hesitates for a moment, and suddenly a strange face appears at the bottom of the tube. The man speaks into his communicator, "found them. They're in a Jefferies tube."
Jim frowns as McCoy's voice replies that he's on his way.
"Bones, I don't wanna go."
Jim sits on the edge of the transporter, Spock sitting on one side and McCoy sitting on the other. Jim leans against the doctor's leg, and McCoy's hand rests on his head.
"I know, kid. But it's something you have to do."
Jim presses his face into his knees, sniffling, and McCoy's hand moves down to rub his back.
"And it's okay to cry."
"I'm not cryin'."
"Alright. Well, if you were crying it's nothing to be ashamed of."
Jim is silent for a moment. "I'm scared," he finally whispers.
"It's okay to be scared," McCoy whispers back. "Jimmy, you want to know a secret?"
Jim glances up as he wipes a few stray tears from his face. "Yeah."
"I'm afraid of transporters too. And flying. And space."
Jim's eyes grow wide. "You are??"
The doctor nods. "Sure am. But you know what I do?"
Jim shakes his head.
"I take a job in space, and do it all anyway."
Jim smiles slightly. "Because you're brave?"
McCoy winks at him. "Brave or crazy, kid, I'm not sure which yet."
"Yeah, Jim."
"Will you be here when we get back?"
McCoy pats Jim's head reassuringly. "Sure will. I'll be here the entire time."
Jim turns to Spock. "Are you scared?"
Spock shakes his head. "I assume Pavel and Mister Scott have made the necessary repairs to the transporter, and I trust that Doctor McCoy would not put us in danger. Therefore I am not afraid."
"Oh." Jim glances at the floor. "Well, can I hold your hand when we go?"
"Of course," Spock replies, reaching for Jim's hand. "Assuming it will not interfere with the transportation."
Jim turns back to McCoy. "Can I hold Spock's hand when we go?"
"We'll have to ask Mister Scott," McCoy glances in Scotty's direction and the chief engineer nods his head silently. "But I'm sure it won't be a problem."
Spock and Jim stand together on the transporter pad, their arms outstretched far enough to allow their fingertips to touch.
"On my go," Scotty says. "We beam them out slowly, wait ten seconds, then beam them back. Should be enough time for the changes to kick in and reverse things."
Scotty counts down from three. "Three, two, one, GO."
Spock watches as a swirling white light seems to envelope him. Then darkness for what feels like a split second, and suddenly he's back on the transporter pad staring into the face of Doctor McCoy.
He glances down at himself to discover an adult body, and quickly glances to his left to see an adult version of Jim Kirk.
Jim is also looking down at himself curiously. He raises his gaze to the transporter console, and then turns to his right. As he catches a glimpse of Spock he glances down at where their fingertips are intertwined. He jolts suddenly and pulls his fingers from Spock's. His brow furrows as he glances back at McCoy.
The doctor steps forward. "Jim, Spock, do you know where you are?"
Jim nods, "yeah, the transporter room."
"We are currently standing in the transporter room of the USS Enterprise."
McCoy sighs with relief. "Do you remember what just happened?"
Jim is silent as Spock replies. "A transporter malfunction turned us into five year old children for a brief period of time. A solution from Mister Chekov allowed us to return to our proper forms."
Jim is watching Spock with an amused expression. McCoy turns to him. "Jim?"
Shaking his head, Jim lets out a laugh. "I don't know what you guys are talking about, but last thing I remember I was beaming up from Straythos VII. Spock was carrying a bunch of rocks, and I was looking forward to catching up on sleep. Now we're here and I don't have a clue what's happening."
Spock turns to him. "You do not recall arriving in the transporter room de-aged to five years old?"
Jim laughs again. "No."
"You do not recall playing with Maggie or eating with Ensign Chekov?"
"Nope, but who's this Maggie chick? Sounds fun." Jim moves forward and claps Spock on the shoulder before stepping off the transporter pad. "Everything back to normal then, Bones?"
McCoy nods, eying Jim suspiciously. "Yeah, as normal as it can be, I suppose."
"Good. Now if you'll excuse me gentlemen, I've got work to do."
Jim heads for the door as McCoy calls after him, "report to sickbay, Jim. I want a complete physical before you're back on duty."
Jim waves his hand in vague agreement as the doors shut behind him.
Spock remains on the transporter pad, staring in silent shock at the closed doors.

Jason Kipnis hits grand slam in Indians' rout of Twins
CLEVELAND -- On his 39th birthday, Derek Lowe gift-wrapped a win for the Indians.
Lowe shook off taking a hard grounder off his right calf in the second inning and celebrated turning another year older by shutting down Minnesota's lineup with ease for the second time this season and Jason Kipnis hit his first career grand slam, leading Cleveland to a 7-1 win over the Twins on Friday night.
Lowe (7-3) carried a two-hit shutout into the seventh inning before the Twins scratched out a run on three hits. The right-hander, who pitched a shutout at Minnesota on May 15, gave the Indians a much-needed quality start after a rough week for their starting rotation.
"I can't say enough about Derek," Indians manager Manny Acta said. "We really needed someone to step up and he was the right guy to do it. He's been our most consistent guy so far. He was huge for us."
Kipnis connected for his slam in the fourth off Carl Pavano (2-5) as the Indians, who have been rocked by injuries lately, won for just the second time in seven games,
Lonnie Chisenhall hit a two-run homer in the second for Cleveland, which has won 11 of 12 over Minnesota.
The Twins had their winning streak stopped at three and fell to an AL-worst 18-33.
Lowe opened the season as the Indians' No. 3 starter, but with Justin Masterson and Ubaldo Jimenez struggling, he has become the staff's ace.
He certainly didn't look like one in his previous outing, when he was banged around for eight runs and 10 hits in 2 1/3 innings by the Chicago White Sox. However, against the Twins, Lowe has been overpowering. In two outings against Minnesota, he has allowed just one run in 15 2/3 innings.
It's been a nice bounce-back season for Lowe, who went just 9-17 for Atlanta last season. When the Indians traded for him in October, they never could have imagined he would be their best starter.
"It's more rewarding the older you get," said Lowe, never afraid to poke fun at himself. "I think when you're young people kind of expect it. And I'm not old, by the way. I'm olding."
Catcher Ryan Doumit had three of Minnesota's six hits off Lowe, who has been especially tough at Progressive Field, going 4-1 with a 1.37 ERA in six starts.
Lowe was back by solid defense as the Indians turned two double plays and left fielder Johnny Damon made a diving catch to rob Denard Span in the sixth.
The Indians have been hit hard by injuries and the club recently dropped into second place after leading the AL Central most of this season.
Sensing the team needed a spark, former Indians second baseman Carlos Baerga burst into the clubhouse before the game hollering, "Let's go. We need a win." Baerga greeted Lowe with a big hug and interrupted a card game as he worked the room slapping and shaking hands with players.
The pep talk appeared to work as the Indians responded with one of their better all-around performances in weeks.
As another Indians' famous face from the 1990s -- slugger Albert Belle -- was being interviewed on the team's TV broadcast, Kipnis delivered his blast to make it 7-0.
Chisenhall hit a one-out single, No. 9 hitter Lou Marson walked and Shin-Soo Choo singled to load the bases off Pavano, who was then visited on the mound by pitching coach Rick Anderson. Pavano didn't get the message because he mistakenly grooved his next pitch to Kipnis, who launched it over the wall for his team-leading ninth homer.
Kipnis leads the Indians in homers, RBIs, steals, hits and runs.
"I kind of pride myself on being able to cover all aspects of the game," Kipnis said. "Not just stats. Whether it's a home run or laying a bunt down or getting a guy over. I've been fortunate to have it going good this season, but I'm sure some other guys will be picking it up soon and hopefully they'll catch me."
Earlier, Kipnis survived two rough plays at second base, both involving Doumit. In the first, Kipnis was struck on the helmet with Doumit's throw on a steal, was checked by a trainer and stayed in the game. In the second, Cleveland's second baseman was taken out while turning a double play on an aggressive slide by Doumit.
"So much for the rest day," joked Kipnis as the Indians were off Thursday. "It woke me up, though."
Pavano was charged with six earned runs and nine hits in 3 2/3 innings. The right-hander dropped to 0-3 in his last five starts with an 8.25 ERA. He has been bothered by a sore shoulder for weeks and said it's possible he may need to go on the disabled list.
"It's come a time where some decisions need to be made," Pavano said. "This has gone on long enough. I wish I could say it's a rough patch. I feel like I'm really treading water right now. It (going on the DL) is the last thing I want to do, but there comes a time when you're hurting the team and hurting yourself.
"You have to make a decision that hopefully puts you in a situation where you have more success. There's no doubt about it."
Game notes
Twins C Joe Mauer went 0 for 4 and his hitless in his last 10 at-bats. ... Indians C Carlos Santana has improved from a concussion and is expected to be back in the lineup in a few days. Santana was placed on MLB's new 7-day concussion list after being struck in the mask by a foul tip last week in Chicago. Santana took batting practice before the game and will catch a bullpen session Saturday. ... The Twins did not turn a double play, but came in leading the majors with 73. They're on pace to break the record held by the 1956 New York Yankees, who had 213.

The New American
November 14, 2012
Several public school teachers are facing investigations for posting items on social networking sites that opposed President Obama and his agenda. Parents raised concerns regarding the teachers' posts, prompting the school districts to launch investigations. Similarly, teens who posted anti-Obama messages on social networking sites are being targeted by a website called Jezebel, which not only reveals the identities of the students who made the posts, but reported the students to their schools.
In Rock Hill, South Carolina, a middle-school teacher was placed on leave after posting a message on her personal Facebook page about Obama and food stamps. "Congrats Obama," she allegedly wrote. "As one of my students sang down the hallway, 'We get to keep our food stamps' … which I pay for because they can't budget their money … and really, neither can you."
According to a school spokesperson, several parents had called the school complaining about the teacher's post. The teacher was forced to apologize.
"People outside the school system … saw her posting and some of them said they were offended by it," spokesperson Elaine Baker said. "She used poor judgment according to our social media policy. Teachers are kept to higher standards." Baker continued, "Sometimes you just can't speak out publicly about what you'd personally like to say, about anything." She told television station WSOC that teachers in general should "watch what they post on Facebook."
Similarly, a high school teacher in Columbus, Ohio, is under investigation for posting an anti-Obama message on his personal Facebook page.
"Congrats to those dependent on government, homosexuals, potheads, JAY-Z fans, non-Christians, non-taxpayers, illegals, communists, Muslims, planned murder clinics, enemies of America, Satan You WON," the unidentified teacher wrote.
The Linden McKinley High School teacher is being investigated, though he has been permitted to remain in the classroom during the process.
Hazel Davis was one of the parents who complained about the teacher's post.
"I didn't think it was right," she told the Columbus Dispatch. "He's talking about a majority of the people that go to the school." According to Fox News, 95 percent of the students attending Linden McKinley High School receive free or reduced lunch. "I don't think he should be teaching anybody," Davis said.
But teachers are not the only ones being targeted for their anti-Obama messages. Fox News reported:
A nationally-known website has targeted teenagers who posted racially-charged, anti-Obama messages on social networking sites after the presidential election. The website Jezebel not only identified the underage students — but also contacted their schools to report their offensive online postings.
Tracie Egan Morrissey justifies the website by stating, "Several of the teens use imagery of their high schools' sports teams on their Twitter accounts and Facebook pages. If nothing else, it's reasonable to alert administrators to the behavior of the students who are publicly representing their schools."
And according to the website, the schools are taking the tweets posted by some of its students "very seriously." The students are being targeted for posts that are said to be full of racist language and hate speech, including use of the "n" word.
One of the teens attends West Islip High School in New York. The principal of the high school told the New York Daily News that he was "very offended" by the student's remarks and that he would be "taking the necessary steps to address [them]."
Morrissey believes that school administrators are well within their rights to do so. "It leads one to wonder whether their interventions in the matter will help these teenagers to become more understanding of racial sensitivities — or if they will just become angry, and if that anger will become displaced and only serve to intensify their hate," Morrissey wrote. "Whatever the case, they surely will have learned about how their conversations on social media are not private and that their words do, indeed, have an impact."
But not everyone is on board with a website that targets the free speech of students.
Paul Kengor of the Center for Vision and Values at Grove City College states, "I'm not surprised. Any conservative can tell you about the huge number of emails and tweets and whatever else bashing Mitt Romney, Paul Ryan, Sarah Palin, George Bush and numerous other Republicans in the most vile and obscene ways."
"But only when it happens to Obama do groups like this give it their attention, and then the liberal media magnifies them in kind," he continued. "It quickly becomes a national scandal."
According to Fox News, there are a variety of documented examples of students being targeted by liberal teachers:
In October a Philadelphia teacher ridiculed a young girl for wearing a Mitt Romney t-shirt to class. The teacher compared her shirt to a KKK robe. The teacher eventually apologized but the student transferred to another school.
And last year another teacher was captured on video telling her students that criticizing President Obama was a crime punishable by jail.
But regardless of liberal angst over anti-Obama sentiments, schools technically do not have a right to punish students for posting messages perceived to be offensive outside of school. Still, that does not mean that they won't.
"Historically, the courts have said that free speech outside the classroom can't be punished by the school," said Ken Paulson, president of the First Amendment Center. "But increasingly we are seeing some decisions to punish young people — arguing that what they post on their Twitter account can be potentially disruptive to a classroom."
Paulson said the "Twitter dynamic has sort of set everything on its ear."
In 2011, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in the Westboro Baptist Church case that free speech should be protected, regardless of how offensive it may be. The high court held that the First Amendment protected the members of the church, and that freedom of speech cannot be restricted simply because it "is upsetting or arouses contempt."
That ruling should be applicable in the case of the teen posters, as well as the teachers being investigated.
Meanwhile, Paulson suggests that a conservative website be created to document instances of liberal hate. "There's certainly enough material," he said.

I�m not sure whether Congressman Justin Morrill ever dined on Shrewsbury Street, but if he could have been with me on a recent visit, he would have felt right at home.
Morrill, as history buffs would know, was the father of the legislation that in 1862 led to the creation of many of our nation�s top public research universities.
Because of Morrill�s bill, young people from Worcester and throughout Central Massachusetts have been able to receive excellent undergraduate educations at UMass � and it is why Worcester can point with pride to the world-class academic, research and public service institution that is UMass Medical School.
Sitting with UMass Medical School students Adam Chin, Matt DeWolf and Mitch Li, it struck me that Morrill would have felt an enormous sense of satisfaction as the conversation swirled at our table at Shrewsbury Street�s Flying Rhino restaurant.
As busy as these three young men are with the heavy demands placed on medical school students, they have found the time to create an organization that is dealing with one of society�s most dangerous and daunting problems: obesity.
They are tackling the problem one menu, one restaurant at a time in Worcester � but their ideas and methods may soon find a national audience.
Adam, Matt and Mitch are the founders of WooFood, a program that encourages restaurants to provide healthy food choices for diners. If you see the WooFood stamp of approval at a restaurant or on a menu, you know that you will be able to order something that is going to be good � and good for you.
As we enjoyed lunch at the Flying Rhino, Adam explained why he and his UMass Medical School colleagues are so committed to their project.
�I grew up in Worcester, I still live in Worcester � this is my home. It�s not every day that you get to be a part of long-term change in your own backyard.�
The University of Massachusetts, like public universities across the nation, has a three-fold mission of education, research and public service. This mission was central to the original land-grant concept and is part of our DNA at UMass.
Listening to Adam, Matt and Mitch talk about the profound influence that a better diet can have on a person�s long-term health, I realized that our mission of education, research and public service all came together in the important work that these three young students and others are doing.
I had that same sense of admiration and satisfaction as I traveled to every corner of the state throughout my four-day bus tour.
I saw our mission alive and well at the new Green High Performance Computing Center about to open its doors in Holyoke, at UMass marine research centers in Gloucester and New Bedford, at the UMass Cranberry Research Station in Wareham, and at People Incorporated, a Fall River agency that provides services for those dealing with developmental issues and other challenges.
UMass Dartmouth art students have transformed what was a cavernous, inhospitable 20,000-square-foot former warehouse into a warm and welcoming center for People Inc. clients who are learning new skills and coping with life�s challenges there.
It was in 1862, during the darkest days of the Civil War, that President Lincoln signed the Morrill Land Grant Act into law. A year later, the state established the Massachusetts Agricultural College, the academic seed that has grown into the five-campus University of Massachusetts system.
In my view, the Morrill Act is one of the most important pieces of legislation in our nation�s history. It brought about the democratization of higher education and helped to ensure that a college degree would be available to the many and not just be the province of the few.
What the Vermont lawmaker did 150 years ago � throwing open the doors of academia to all who yearned to learn � led directly to what I saw during my 500-mile trip around this state. And what I saw confirmed Morrill�s vision: if you give men and women the tools to succeed, they will not only improve their own lives, they will improve society.
Congressman Morrill � and three young medical students studying and working in Worcester � all share a vision of changing lives and building a better future for our state, our nation and the world. You can change the world � one person and one menu at a time.
Robert L. Caret is the president of the University of Massachusetts.

The old West has never looked odder. Welcome to Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath HD on PlayStation 3, a refreshingly different Wild West adventure. Set on the alien planet of Oddworld, your introduction to this untamed realm is through an excellent animated movie which familiarises you with the hero of the game, the mysterious Stranger.
You soon learn that Stranger isn't afraid to let you know what he thinks. This scruffy ruffian doesn't say much, although when he does, you'll listen, as he offers clues and suggestions to help you on your way. Equally important is the muttering of Stranger's foes, clueing you up on possible ambushes and other dangers. Make sure you keep your ears open, or you'll quickly come a cropper in this deadly land.
While the sound in Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath HD is helpful, the ambient visuals arrest you quicker than a rowdy sheriff on his rounds. The weird and wonderful world is full of entertaining creatures, moody colours and creepy wildlife. Oddworld comes alive in High Definition on your PS3, and makes every step of Stranger's journey a wonder to behold.
Are you ready for the dangerous life of a bounty hunter? To track down and capture dangerous outlaws? Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath HD on PlayStation 3 puts you in the dirty shoes of Stranger, a mean criminal hunter. And there sure are a lot of lawbreakers to take down...
Being one of the roughest, toughest bounty hunters in town isn't easy. There are a bunch of low-down dirty varmints lurking around every corner who would be happy to see Stranger face down in the dirt. Which is why you're equipped with some ingenious tools to get the job done, come rain or shine.
Stranger doesn't like to use guns, however - so you may find his weaponry a bit... odd. Instead of packing heat, this tar-spitting hotshot uses a double-barrelled crossbow which fires a variety of strange critters.
Zappflies can stun outlaws with a jolt of electricity as well as activate power-hungry door switches and levers. The snarling Fuzzles can be used as living landmines, lying in wait to savage any enemies unfortunate enough to wander close. Seven other creatures can be picked up and used as Stranger's ammunition, so keep an eye out for them - because if there's no vendor available to buy them from, it's up to you to hunt and capture your ammo in the wild.
Don't be too intimidated by the snarling bandits looking to prevent you from putting them down. Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath HD has a great tutorial to get you into the swing of things quickly and easily, while the gruff Stranger will tell you what your latest objective is if you're stuck for what to do next.
Blending rootin' tootin' action and stealth, Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath HD is a lively dose of roughneck entertainment that feels perfectly at home in its alien setting. There's plenty to get stuck into with upgradable abilities and items, and your quest is longer than any Western movie going - and then some. Saddle up, partner... this is one adventure that's only going to get stranger...

The host nation's medal count is always higher than normal for a reason: the screaming crowds that psych up the natives, and psych out the visitors. But now they've gone too far; they've made Maddy cry.
Madeleine Dupont, topless Dane skip extraordinaire, had two chances to put away the unbeaten Canadians Friday night, and she missed them both. Both times, the partisan crowd was carrying on, stomping and cheering through her shot. And you see, in curling, that's simply not done.
A gentleman's game, curling stones are generally thrown with complete silence. Though that might be a byproduct of curling matches not having any fans in attendance. But not this time. Because it's one of the few sports in which Canadians are likely to end up on the podium, or because the hours of down time leave nothing to do but drink, the Vancouver curling crowds have been notably rowdy.
I could not control the weight on the last shot in the 10th," said an obviously upset Dupont after the game, wiping away a tear. "It should have been way slower but when there are 6,000 people yelling it's pretty hard to find out how hard you kick off. It's just so hard to focus. You're trying but it's just not the same as if it was silent."
Heck, even the Canadian skip agreed, and said it wasn't particularly fair to other teams.
I'm of two minds about it. On one hand, it's an ancient sport, and silence has always been the norm. It's what the players are used to.
But then it's odd that some sports encourage crowd noise, while others forbid it. Why do golfers get complete silence, while baseball players, who require just as much if not more concentration, have to play through a racket? In golf, the damn ball is just sitting there.
And, on the first hand again...YOU MONSTERS BROUGHT OUR DEAR MADDY TO TEARS.
Raucous crowd draws tears from Danish skip [Globe And Mail]

Why us
How we work
I am always hesitant to work with someone remotely because it is difficult to fully explain tasks via e-mail. However, working with Liviu and his team has been absolutely amazing. They always know exactly what I want and need to make my end goal exceed my expectations. They are my go-to web developers and I am so thrilled that I found them. I highly recommend WeCodePixels to anyone looking for a quality, honest, and efficient web development team. Every time they give me a deadline, they stick to it. Every time they give me an estimate, they stick to it. I am always confident that Liviu and his team can handle any task that I throw their way.
Graphic & Web Designer at Emma Tang Designs
Working with We Code Pixels has been great. They've handled everything I've asked them to do with ease, and they've been extremely responsive. Quality work, and quick, friendly communication. I'm looking forward to having them help me out more in the future.
