The Internet passed through a time when it was riddled with incorrect and unreliable information. But today, audiences use the Internet so frequently that it has evolved into being a real source of credible knowledge. People say it all the time: "You can find anything on the Internet." There's endless content swimming through the web being accessed by the billions of people on the Internet. So what content is relevant? What content is most popular? Here's a list of the top content verticals on the web today.
1. Fitness And Health
Since this is a category that anyone can relate to, it never gets old. People are always looking for updated information about how to stay or become healthy and fit. Over time, this topic has actually increased in popularity; these days, healthy and fit is "in."
The content for this category ranges anywhere from how tos, dos and don'ts, workout routines to reach your goals, nutrition advice, lifestyle advice, to research and studies. No matter what the approach, whether there's pictures, videos or words, ultimately people need that written and researched assurance.
Audiences want to feel informed and have the knowledge to share with others and their credibility is much greater when they read it, especially when the articles provide actual research or expert advice.
2. Business And Finance
Money, money, money. Obviously, this topic really never gets old. Everyone has a relationship with money and there are millions ready to read about it. Endless avenues, approaches and topics can fill articles abound in this category. Business encompasses infinite topics as it is diverse, has many components and is constantly evolving. The millions of employees and hopeful entrepreneurs are constantly on the lookout for updated information.
Written content is absolutely essential in this category. Readers are looking for concrete advice and information. The approaches range from research and statistics to advice based on personal experience. While most content categories rely heavily on facts and science, business often boils down to experience. The marketing advice that comes from someone who has actually run a successful campaign is more invaluable.
Since culture constantly evolves, the market fluctuates and peoples' preferences vary, business is an ever-changing category that can be written about until the end of time. In relation, finance is directly related to business and just as people want and often, need, to stay informed on business trends, they also want to keep up with finance.
3. Nutrition And Diet
Everyone eats! Therefore it should come as no surprise that dieting is one of the most popular content categories around. With society yearning to reach their ideal shape and size, audiences are constantly looking for nutritional advice.
But, people don't just want to see recipes. That alone would yield a lower traffic rate at a shorter duration. People use the Internet to seek out knowledge. Audiences crave more than a recipe. They love details.
Research and expert testimonial in regards to nutrition is particularly beneficial, especially for any diet or cleanse. Content that includes real data and well-written information is spot on and most highly desired. After all, no one wants to be told what he or she should be eating without the reasons why. The research is what separates the valuable content from everything else.
4. Travel
The world is a very big and diverse place. There are endless aspects of travel to be discussed – starting with locations alone. Not only are there copious amount of countries to cover, every country has different cities (or sights, if the country is tiny) to be explored! The activities people can do vary incredibly and traveling is something that practically everyone would care to at least try.
Pictures and videos are excellent visual aids for travel writing, but people really get the thick of the information from written content. It's definitely important to include the visuals because that's an enormous allure for travel, but audiences want written advice, lists, suggestions, interesting history tidbits and cultural nuances.
A picture alone doesn't immerse the website visitor quite like written information can. Travel writing is an art and the travel business literally sells happiness. And when you really think about it, what's more enticing than a vacation?
5. Fashion
Here's a multi-billion dollar industry that influences all of society's appearance. The word "fashion" immediately produces images of runway models and rings your ears of designer names like Louis Vuitton, Chanel and Dolce and Gabbana. The interesting thing about this category is that people who can't afford designer clothes will still read and obsess over designer clothes. An interest in fashion seems to be all that matters.
Unlike other categories, such as music and movies, people don't need to actually be wearing the clothes to like them and want to read about them (whereas people can easily listen to music and watch movies). The fashion industry is certainly more like art, and some say it is in fact, wearable art. You don't need to own it, you just want to see it, talk about it and read about.
It's difficult to discuss fashion without a visual aid. However, a picture, obviously, doesn't actually discuss the fashion. Typically, videos are merely runway shows or in a music video style, which is great for the same visual aspect as photos, but written content provides actual information for the audience to digest. Similar to travel writing, people can't feel included in the industry with mere visuals. Content for this category can range from discussing a designer's aesthetics, fabric choices and changes from past designs to what's in right now for the season, how tos (like how to dress preppy), career advice, fashion journalism and whether or not leggings should be worn as pants.
6. Pop Culture
Celebrities, TV shows, music and movies interest everyone. Pop culture is often an immediate go-to topic when people talk in person and that also makes it a popular category on the Internet.
Articles about celebrities are all over the web, reviews on anything and everything can be found in a Google search and flushing out your own opinions in a blog about anything in pop culture is practically like having an in person monologue, right? People watch the TV shows and movies and then they want to read about them on the Internet. Clearly, written content is essential here.
The whole idea is discussion, opinion, facts and everybody being a critic. Articles about pop culture tend to yield high comment rates because they're relatable to the everyday person. People get invested in TV, music and movies and in those that provide these entities. And, this category is constantly shoveling out new material, as people want more shows and songs to enjoy, which means the content is never ending.
7. Politics
Any news outlet can tell you that politics is one of the heavy hitters on content. Political figures can literally shape our lives – they work with the law and the law is rather important to all of us (well, most of us).
Not to mention, there's always a good counter-perspective story to be presented. With two primary political parties, there are two sides to be illuminated and this certainly piques audience interest. Also, politics is working its engines daily, and it can encompass one city, one country or the entire world.
Written content is key for truly providing insight into this category. Even with videos, audiences need a written component to elaborate on the situation. Politics is a continuous stream of events and often requires some background and additional circumstantial information. Articles can also discuss political moves, ideologies, tactics, policies, rivalries and affects on everyday people. Activism is also another prevalent avenue under this category that people may feel exceptionally connected to and want to read about.
8. Dating And Romance
Whether you're single or taken, dating and romance advice never ceases to be missed. The immediate approach would be advice and suggestions, particularly from personal experience or perhaps a marriage counselor or sex therapist, but this category can also be explored as personal blogging and perspectives on partner lifestyle. Certainly, advice takes the cake on this one.
How to get a date, how to kick someone to the curb, how to be charming, the best Valentine's gifts, the worst anniversary ideas, how to make someone stick around for good and the list goes on. Written content is certainly going to be preferred in this area as well because that makes it more universal to everyone.
Dating and partnership is an essential part of many peoples' lives, and millions yearn to complete their life with that component. Naturally, those people are keen to read about what they want to have and what they want to keep.
All in all, whatever content you choose to have, quality is key. Researched and well-polished articles provide the modern angle of information audiences are looking for. People want real perspectives, accurate data and invaluable advice in the form of well-written content.

He's tall, dark and made of fiberglass. Known as the "Mulligan Man," the 20-foot-tall statue has been peering over the 405 Freeway at the Dominguez Hills Golf Course since the 1960s.
"He's been around for many years," said Lomita resident Ruben Garcia. "This place was built in 1964. I'll be 48, and I guess so will that man."
But the fate of this giant golfer is now up in the air. German car company Porsche is planning to build a massive off-road course and driving simulation center in place of the golf course, which means the kitschy landmark may not be standing tall anymore.
"I think not only disappointment, but I think people would be very frustrated and unhappy if he were to leave the community," said Sheri Repp-Loadsman, City of Carson planning manager.
"Well, we'd love to see him stay here, even if they'd have to take down the course," said Culver City resident Ron Gorman. "We've always admired him being there."
It was Venice-based International Fiberglass Company that started selling the Paul Bunyan-like statues in the 1960s. You can even use websites like RoadsideAmerica.com to track down the 500 all over the country.
Here in Southern California, there's Chicken Boy on North Figueroa Street, and the Big Man in front of Tony's Transmission Center in City Terrace, just to name a few.
And like his counterparts across the country, the Mulligan Man has sported some different costumes throughout the years: a Dodgers uniform, swim trunks, and a few years back he briefly took on the identity of a young rising golf star named Tiger Woods.
A spokesperson for Porsche says for now they have no plans to remove the Mulligan Man.
For golfers, keeping one landmark and not the other is a bittersweet tradeoff.
"To me, the story is the golf course that's accessible to people like me that don't have enough money to be able to play in courses that are more expensive," said golfer Frank Ruvalcaba. "So it's not the landmark."

WASHINGTON -- President Barack Obama told voters repeatedly during the health care debate that the overhaul legislation would bring down fast-rising health care costs and save them money. Now, he's hemming and hawing on that.
So far, the law he signed earlier this year hasn't had the desired effect. An analysis from Medicare's Office of the Actuary this week said that the nation's health care tab will go up, not down, through 2019 as a result of Obama's sweeping law, though the increase is modest.
Obama offered some caveats when asked in his news conference Friday about the apparent discrepancy between what he promised and what's actually happening so far.
A look at two of the claims at his news conference and how they compare with the facts:
Obama: Said he never expected to extend insurance coverage to an additional 31 million people "for free." He added that "we've made huge progress" if medical inflation could be brought down to the level of overall inflation, or somewhere slightly above that.
The facts: Those claims may be supported in the fine print of the plan he pitched to Congress and a skeptical public months ago. But they rarely were heard back then. "My proposal would bring down the cost of health care for millions -- families, businesses and the federal government," he declared in March.
On Friday, he conceded: "Bending the cost curve on health care is hard to do." The goal: "Slowly bring down those costs."
Obama: "We took every idea out there about how to reduce or at least slow the costs of health care over time."
The facts: One idea that most experts think would do the most to control health costs -- directly taxing health benefits -- was missing in Obama's plan. Opposition from unions and others was too great, and Obama himself had campaigned against the idea.
Some of the major cost controllers that did make it into the law -- including a tax on high-value insurance plans -- don't start until 2018. That tax was watered down and delayed.

Q. "I'm hearing a lot about lead-free these days. What does that have to do with plumbing products and how does the new lead-free legislation affect me?"
A. Basically, the laws implemented Jan. 1st, 2014 require plumbing products that come in contact with drinking water to be "essentially lead free" (less than 0.25% weighted average). For further information about how the law determines what is "lead free", rules regarding which plumbing products must be "lead free", and who these laws will affect, please click here.
Q. "What are the new California Energy Commission water efficiency standards and how does this affect me?"
A. Effective January 1, 2016, certain plumbing fixtures will be required to comply with new California Energy Commission requirements for flow rate and water efficiency. Since the program began in 1976, it has continually worked to develop standards for energy- and water-using appliances and fixtures that will help Californians to conserve energy and water. To help the state deal with current and future drought conditions, only water-saving plumbing fixtures will be legally available for sale in California. Products like faucets, toilets, urinals, and shower heads are all affected by the new regulations.
What this means for the average consumer is that you can rest easy knowing that the product you're getting is compliant with the law - and will help you do your part to save water, our most precious natural resource. Additionally, it is important to note that current EPA WaterSense program requirements are not as stringent as the California Energy Commission requirements. Thus, not all WaterSense products may be compliant with the new laws in California. Please be sure to review the specifications of the product you're purchasing prior to placing your order as we cannot ship non-compliant products to our customers in California.

The Voices In My Head
recent entries | past entries
So I brought my iMac into Apple to be fixed at 10 in the morning on Sunday. They told me it'd take one to three days. I just called to check on the status of my computer, and they told me they haven't even touched it yet.
.. seriously, guys? I'm grateful as hell for this beautiful computer but why my father didn't just go with a Dell, I'll never know. I've only had it for four months and it already just stopped working. I've never had ANY problems with any single Dell computer I've ever owned in my entire life. Never had a virus, random blue screen of death, nothing. Ever. Four months into my first Apple and this shit happens. MEH.

I just put Blind Melon and Smashing Pumpkins on a Pandora station and got a Brand New song.. weird.
I'm bored and my mind won't stop racing, so I might as well..

For some reason my fucking iMac won't turn on. I went to move the monitor yesterday and accidentally pressed the power button like I always do, so the computer shut down. When I went to turn it back on, the system made noises as if it was starting up but the speakers don't make any noise and the monitor stays completely off.
I don't know what to doooo. I googled and got instructions on resetting some shit, idfk I just had to press some buttons at the right time which I did a million times and nothing happened. I don't know if I should bring it into geek squad or what. I don't know about sending it into Apple because I don't wanna wait THAT long for it anddd my dad bought it for me as a graduation present, so I'm not quite sure if he got insurance with it or if he has like, an account with them.. I JUST DON'T KNOWWW.
I wish it'd just work, magically.
I feel like my days have been so messed up because I've spent so much time down at my sisters, which is where I am right now. I don't have my own little space like I always have in my room at my computer desk. Tonight I was planning on going upstairs, cleaning my entire room and just relaxingggg by myself in my own room all night. Now that can't happen 'cause I don't have a computer to entertain myself with. :3
Hmm.. my grandma's kitty finally came back today. I spent a little bit with her then locked up the house, so hopefully she won't be getting back out. I feel so stressed out. I have sooo many dishes to do because me, Matt, Sarah, Mike, and anyone else that I've brought here have just destroyed the entire kitchen and the rest of the house. She comes back on Saturday so I have some intense cleaning to do, amongst other things. Like my laundry :\ All of my clothes are on a gigantic metal rod thing, all messed up and cluttering up my entire room. I don't know what to do with it. I have no furniture and my closet is piled up with shit because apparently I'm a closet hoarder.. lawl, get it, closet. yeah anyway.
I just need everyone to get the fuck back home so I can get on with my normal daily routine.
So I dropped my grandma off at the airport yesterday, which means I'm now in charge of six different cats.. not including my own two that I've been neglecting, which makes eight.
The sunrise was BEAUTIFUL yesterday, I managed to get a few shitty pictures from my phone.
Read more..
Seriously, you'd think that a $500 blackberry would have a better camera.
Anyway. I went to check on her cat for the first time today and she had already managed to get out of the house. My grandma told me it gets out through the AC in the window, so she taped the sides shut and when I got there the tape was torn up on the floor. I didn't have the patience to wait there any longer than 20 minutes for it to come back, so I left the window open. I hope he's fucking back when I go later or I really don't know what I'll do. That poor cat just recently suffered a really bad neck injury, and now it's back out in the wild probably getting beat up again by other cats. It fucking stresses me out to no end because there's NOTHING I can do.
I'd wait there all day for him to come back, but my grandmother is a hoarder. Her house is so dirty... I just can't handle being in there for any longer than I have to. Makes me a fucking anxious mess like I've been ever since I've been in charge of all these damn cats.
All I can do is sit and hope that it's alright and will get back inside safely AND STAY THERE until I return. =l
ugh I've been cat-sitting for my sisters five cats in her apartment downstairs from my house. This is only the third day and I really can't take it anymore. One of her cats, Babygirl, is handicapped. She was shot at by our fuckbag of a neighbor so one of her legs is fake and can't be bent. Her other cats are Nigga, Sampson, Charlie, and Musha. Musha is the baby who needs a lot of love like Babygirl, so Musha and Babygirl are supposed to be kept out in this room, while there's a gate up in the kitchen so that Nigga and Sampson can't reach them while I'm not around.
Matt and I tried sleeping in her room both nights that she's been gone. The first night he was passed out drunk so he doesn't remember me getting up every five seconds because of Nigga getting through the gate or because I hear Babygirl crying and I walk outside and Nigga's hissing at her.. ALL. NIGHT. LONG. And me being the worrisome loveable kitty person that I am.. I just feel so terrible. I know I can't just leave them all together for Babygirl's sake but then I felt terrible locking them up in the kitchen, plus they'd just break the gate within 15 minutes anyway.
This is just.. stressful. I was up until 5 in the morning until I finally got them all where they're supposed to be, put the gates up, and went upstairs to my own bedroom finally. Of course I came down this morning and Nigga got through the gate yet again. *sigh* Only one more week of this.
My grandma's going away tomorrow too, so not only do I have to pick her up by 6:30 in the morning, but I have to watch HER cat, too.
It's kind of ironic how after I posted that entry earlier today, I started talking to Sarah and she kind of feels the same as me right now. Sam and Ariana went on a ~spontaneous~ trip to go see Stone Temple Pilots earlier today and apparently Sarah's pissed because they excluded her from it. If there's anything I've learned in the past 3 years of being in a group of four teenage girls who are best friends.. is that you can't rely on any single one of them. One of them will always be closer with the other, and that will change continuously. You will hate every single one of them at some point in your friendship. But for some reason, you can't just cut them out of your life. Because they've been your best and your only friends ever since your old ones disappeared.
I think all of this is only true for the very unique group of friends I have. They all have their own problems, and I could go into that with much more detail but I won't, because this is public and some part of me will feel bad if they ever saw this. I just know that I can't truly rely or trust any single one of them. I don't know about you, but I think that going through a good period of time where you're growing up with people that you can't trust.. I think that'll do something to you. Like I just said to Sarah, I've taught myself to never expect less than a raging dickhead, as she says. I won't give you the chance to fuck me over because I already expect it to happen. I also won't give any genuine person a chance because I can't tell the difference anymore.
All I know is that I trust, depend, and completely rely on only myself and my boyfriend that has been with me since I was 13 years old. And like I said earlier, I'm okay with that. But Sarah, Sam, and Ariana will still be around, because I'm always gonna hang out with them when there's nothing else to do and they're willing. They're fun and all, but I've learned exactly what role every single person in my life plays.

I know if I had some more friends on this site and actually had active journals to read, I'd update more often. But it's awkward commenting on a random strangers personal thoughts.
Wow, I can't believe this journal is five years old. I'm 18 now. I always forget about this place and end up coming back to look around. I don't know why I never update. I should probably start, cause my livejournal is just filled with a whole bunch of nothing.
My 'friends' are currently ignoring me. It seems they're only interested in answering me when they want something. Like if Sam eventually needs a ride home, and she knows her boyfriend Jimmy won't bring her. Sarah only wants to hang out if Ariana isn't free, and for some reason I'm never invited. They tell me I can never chill because I'm always with Matt, yet Matt works every day until 8 at night and I spend most of my time at my house, alone until then.
Whatever, I don't take that shit to heart anymore. I don't think I'm ever gonna be able to have another ~best friend~ besides my incredible boyfriend, and I'm okay with that. It just sucks that he always has to work. Like right now, I'm sitting in my sisters apartment downstairs from my house. The door's open, the sun's shining, it's beautiful out. It'd be nice to have Sam, Ariana, or Sarah here to enjoy the weather, light up a few bowls, listen to music. Instead I'm doing the same thing alone. It gets boring.
Same thing with my boyfriends group of friends that I hang out with. They get boring. Every night we're either at Tim's or at Steve's. Steve's house is fun. Beer pong, usually a lot more people than just the 5 or 6 of us. Tim's we just relax, smoke, order food, and end up watching them play a stupid video game until 3 in the morning.
And as far as I'm concerned, that's all there is to do around here. Everyone else that I know has gone off to college, and we're the only ones left here at RCC.
I don't even know why I'm writing all of this. I'm just bored. I'm probably gonna end up visiting my boyfriend Matt at work for his lunch break cause Sarah's apparently working from now until 8, too. I know, all of this is adding up I NEED TO GET A JOB. I just don't know where. I know I'm WAY too picky about where I want to apply to. That has to enddd.
Attention Shoppers: Eat me. That is all.
For Christ sake, please kill me now.
Board as hell, and I'm not going to take it anymore!

i liked this but cannot use it now , does not work anymore, could you update it for ff11 ?
I might be able to, I am much busier now than I once was. At any rate, incompatibility with your version of Firefox is no reason to rate it 1 star!
I was using this theme for 2 years, love it. However when I upgraded to Linux Mint 11, the FF ver is 10.0.2*, no longer available. Can ya update it please.
On the whole, I love it. But there are two areas that require some attention. I'd like to see the status bar a darker color (like the task bar). I'd also like a new tab button built into the tabs themselves. That way I would not need to have one in my task bar and not have to use a keyboard shortcut.
I use this all the time. It's great. Good Job.
I'm actually really happy that I've finally found an Xbox 360 theme for FF. I'd been looking for one for awhile, then I forgot about it, then I happened to think of it while looking for themes earlier.
The interface is really smooth looking and flows well, but one major thing that disappoints me is that it doesn't support Personas. Is there any chance you might incorporate that some time in the future, or is it a no go?
Taskbar. Dramatic changes should be.
"A theme created for 360 users, by a 360 user, with 360 buttons etc..."
so there really are 360 buttons? WOW! THAT'S ALOT OF BUTTONS!!!!!!
This is by far the best theme i have come across!! :D Is there any hope for a Halo theme!! That would awesome! This get a 10 star even though we can only rate it 5.
Is It For Linux?
It does work for the linux OS, yes. It is currently supported by Windows, Mac and Linux.
Is It For Linux?
not bad....
Definitely an X-Box fanatic, have a theme for my OS, and now for my browser. I like the X-Box icon for the bookmarks and how it turns when a page is loading. Thanks a million. Will be referring to my gaming buddies.
it should be xFox haha
If I had a xbox, I would download it (I used to)
Now, is there a PS3 theme?
Pretty nice. Good job JakeyB. I want get a Xbox now too :)
Awesome Theme! Love the buttons. Great looking Theme!
I really like how the Xbox buttons are integrated as the home/back/foward/etc. buttons. It's very clean and bright and uncluttered. Well done! My only complaint is that there seems to be no refresh button. Anyway you could make one? Perhaps, you could use the Y button to symbolize. Just an idea.
The refresh button is the green "A" button.
My husband is a huge Xbox fan so when I found this, I installed it on his Firefox while he was at work...thought it would be a cute lil surprise. I was right. He loved it! When he sowed our son (also big Xbox fan), he thought it was "awesome". Of course, he's 9 so...lol!
Nice, but please update for 3.5.
This theme owns (or shall I say pwns?) As a huge xbox 360 fangirl, I can only find one thing wrong with it. Please fix the right-click menu so it doesn't look like a Windows Classic menu. Also, the elite theme mentioned earlier sounds like a good idea.
The right click menu should appear however it does normally, is your right click menu different when using other themes? \r\n\r\nPlease email me back, it\'s fine for me, but I run linux so it\'s handy to have people point out the bugs on Windows for me.
Great theme, but does not work properly with ChatZilla (channel toolbar at the bottom does not show up).
Nice job! Looks great with no known problems.
Would like to see a black xbox theme however, could call it the xbox elite theme???
Amazing for Xbox users!!! But can you please make PS3/PSN theme???
An amazing theme for Firefox. It maintains the Firefox simplicity while adding a new and edgy Xbox 360 touch.
The Xbox 360 buttons are very well done and it goes substantially well with any Xbox 360 operating system theme.
However, I wouldn't mind seeing a version in darker colors. Possibly reflecting the original Xbox console system but that is a matter of style based on my current theme.

I am available for consultation for both professionals and patients.
Essentially, a consultation is a scheduled meeting where details of a particular case are discussed and I would offer my expertise, guidance, and second opinions. Sometimes both clinicians and patients feel "stuck" or as though treatment is not progressing in the way that they had initially hoped. Other times, clarification regarding a diagnosis is needed. Topics such as interventions, approaches, transference/counter-transference, and treatment planning may be explored. Consultation can be brief or ongoing. I am happy to work with clinicians from a social justice perspective as well as with patients in order to explore different avenues for their own or loved one's treatment and to better advocate for themselves.

Achieving energy independence should be a top national security and economic priority for the United States, and South Carolina's Third Congressional District is poised to help lead the way. Partnerships between businesses and universities in the third district are helping our country end its dependence on foreign oil. I support the research and missions at Savannah River Site and Clemson University that bring our country closer to real energy independence and offers our region of the state the prospect of more jobs and new industries.
I support an all-of-the-above energy policy. Energy security must be a top priority for the United States – there is no national security without energy security. We cannot continue to rely on volatile Middle Eastern supplier countries and OPEC. I support oil exploration and production in the Gulf Coast, in Alaska, in the West, and even through oil sands with our neighbor to the north, Canada (through the proposed Keystone XL pipeline). We have tremendous opportunities with natural gas through shale extraction and hydraulic fracturing. Nuclear energy has proven to be extremely vital in my district and throughout the country, and it has great potential to emerge as an important energy source of the future. I am very interested in renewable sources such as wind, solar, biomass and geothermal. Virtually all these energy sources have faced regulatory burdens obtaining permits and leases from overly bureaucratic federal agencies.
I have supported, and will continue to support, legislation that allows for expanded energy exploration within the United States.
- Gas Prices: The price of oil is determined by four basic groups that include crude oil, taxes, distribution and marketing, and refining costs and profit. The failed policies of this Administration have doubled gas prices since Obama took office. I am working in my capacity as a Member of the House Committee on Natural Resources to ensure that our American resources are able to be tapped. Opening up American natural resources has the potential to lower prices at the pump across the country.
For more information concerning my work and views on the issue of Energy, please contact my Washington, DC office.
I look forward to your feedback.
Thank you.

Bizingas Quartet
- Brian Drye - trombone
- Kirk Knuffke - cornet
- Jonathan Goldberger - guitar
- Ches Smith - drums
Photo by Peter Gannushkin
About Bizingas
Bizingas is Brian Drye's Quartet. With drummer Ches Smith and guitarist Jonathan Goldberger we navigate Drye's energetic and creative,rock-influenced music. We recorded our first CD, Bizingas, for NCM East in 2010.
"The debut album by trombonist Brian Drye exposes a fierce imagination, blurring the line between composition and improvisation. Trust, freedom and reckless abandon affirm the strength and energy of this combustible and virulent combination of seasoned improvisors." - http://ncmeast.com/
We went back into the studio in July 2013 to record our 2nd CD, this time with Brian also playing organ. The 2nd release is entitled "Eggs Up High" carries on with more great writing and playing!

Charities we are proud to work in association with...
We are very proud to call 4Louis our 'Big Sister Charity'.
Since Aidan's Elephants formation in 2012, 4Louis have been a constant support to us. They are a nationwide charity which supplies memory boxes and bereavement care support (bereavement training, specialist resources such as cuddle cots, and much more) to hospitals and hospices throughout the UK. We work closely with 4Louis to ensure that Airedale General Hospital receives the best bereavement care support.
Pop n Grow is a charity which provides specialist clothing for premature babies, as well as babies and young children in Neonatal Intensive Care or Pediatric Intensive Care. The clothing is designed to accommodate medical equipment, which often prevents parents from being able to dress their little one. As the parents of two children who have both spent time in Intensive Care, we understand how important something as simple as being able to dress your child can be. We have made personal donations of stock items of clothing from Pop n Grow, to the Neonatal Unit at Airedale General Hospital. This allowed parents to immediately benefit from being able to dress their child, rather than having to wait for their Pop n Grow pack to arrive. We plan to make these donations on a regular basis, as we personally understand how important something as simple as being able to dress your child can be.
This year (2017) we are honoured to be working closely with Cathy Milburn, who founded the Heart in their Hand Project. For Aidan's 5th Birthday we will be making a birthday donation of 100 HITH packs to Airedale General Hospital, where they will be given to newly bereaved parents along with our Memory Boxes.

The Sonoma County Democratic Party honored Elizabeth "Liz" Basile with the
Trowbridge Lifetime Achievement Award in 2017.
On Saturday, January 28, 2017 the Trowbridge Award was presented to Liz in her home during a gathering of local Democrats. It was blessing to share with Liz how much she has meant to so many over the years. She passed peacefully a week later on Saturday, February 6, 2017 at the age of 89.
Liz Basile needs little introduction to the Sonoma County Democratic community. She was a role mode to many with her dedication to activism and Democratic values. Her life of leadership within the local Democratic Party began in 1992 upon her retirement from teaching when she joined the Santa Rosa Democratic Club. That, however, was not the beginning for her. Inspired by President John F. Kennedy she became a Precinct Captain during his 1960 Presidential campaign, and she coordinated with other leaders across the state organizing canvassing and phone banking. Her commitment to voter engagement and voter registration continued into this past election.
She served as their Second Vice Chair for Membership for several years before moving to First Vice Chair for Programs and finally President. In 2014, she stepped down from the Executive Board but continued to be an anchor of support and encouragement to the board.
A native of Stockton, California Liz spent much of her childhood in Brooklyn, New York. At age 16, her family returned to California where she finished school in Los Angeles. Married and with a family of her own, Liz earned a B.A. in English and History then a M.A. in Reading Specialization at California State University Los Angeles.
Her teaching career began in East Los Angeles at El Sereno Junior High School. After her family relocated to Sonoma County in 1974, she taught at Casa Grande High School until her retirement in 1992. Recruited her first year of teaching by the California Teachers Association, Liz eventually became Chapter President of the Association of Petaluma Teachers. CTA has honored Liz Basile with a Life Time Achievement Award.
No stranger to Democratic honors, Liz Basile has previously been honored during the Sonoma County Democratic Party's Annual Crab Feed. In 2003, she was honored as the Democratic of the Year, and in 2008, she was honored with the Roberta Hollowell Award. The State of California recognized Liz in 2012 as a Woman of the Year under then Assemblyman Michael Allen.
Liz Basile was an outspoken Italian fire-ball who inspired many of us as a teacher, a role model, and Democratic activist. She served for the Fifth District on Sonoma County Democratic Party's government board until her passing on February 6, 2017.

Election Protection Resolution
Urging the Democratic National Committee
to Safeguard Voting Rights and Protect the Integrity of Our Elections
WHEREAS it has been well documented that a database program to prevent alleged voter fraud known as "Interstate Crosscheck," currently in use in up to 30 states, has wrongly tagged voters, listing them as either registering in two states, or potentially voting in two states, a felony crime, and the methodology used to tag a voter is that they share a first and last name with another voter, e.g., that Maria ISABEL Hernandez of Virginia is supposedly the same voter as Maria CRISTINA Hernandez of Louisiana, thus providing an excuse to purge millions of mainly non-white voters from their state voter registration databases; and
WHEREAS it has also been documented that other means of vote suppression and manipulation, such as gerrymandered districts, racially discriminatory voter ID laws, reducing polling locations in demographically targeted areas, and failing to supply adequate staff and working voting equipment, have resulted in either disenfranchisement, or discouragingly long lines and inordinate wait times before citizens can cast their votes, often as in states such as Pennsylvania, on paperless electronic machines that provide no human-readable backup record in case of machine failure or for audit and recount purposes; and
WHEREAS the use of voting and vote-counting machines running on secret, undisclosed software, without any meaningful ability to verify the integrity and accuracy of such systems or to audit the results they produce, raises concerns that our elections could be, and may have been, rigged through misuse or manipulation of such systems;
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the California Democratic Party urges the Democratic National Committee to demand that our elections be fully transparent, verifiable, and routinely audited, that the U.S. Justice Department conduct an immediate investigation into the Interstate Crosscheck program's racially and ethnically biased purge operation — and that the list of over seven million Americans suspected of voting or registering in two states be challenged; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that we urge the Democratic National Committee to establish and expedite a 50-state strategy to explore, investigate, and pursue all remedies in overturning current and future methods used in undermining U.S. citizens' right to vote or to have their votes counted as cast in free, fair, verified elections, including "Jim Crow" voter ID restrictions, targeted reductions in polling locations, times, staff, and equipment, unverifiable paperless election systems running on secret, undisclosed software, and other vote suppression and manipulation techniques, including gerrymandering.
Adopted by CDP at the 2017 Summer Executive Board Meeting, on Sunday, August 27, 2017 in Anaheim CA.
Help support this campaign to get the Democratic National Committee (DNC) to safeguard Election Integrity.

Visual disruption is a major focus area
With the per capita consumption of beverages in India much lesser compared to other parts of the world, the growth opportunities for Parle Agro are many.
With the per capita consumption of beverages in India much lesser compared to other parts of the world, the growth opportunities for Parle Agro are many. While the beverage business will continue to be its mainstay, the company aims to focus on its various brands apart from Frooti and Appy, nationally. It is also planning new products for categories focussing on health and youth. In a tête-à-tête with BrandWagon's Chandni Mathur, Nadia Chauhan of Parle Agro talks about the growth of each of its brands, and why sales and distribution is so important for the company. Edited excerpts:
How is Parle Agro's beverage business performing, and what is the focus area ahead?
A growth momentum has set in over the last two years owing to external and internal factors. Last year, the category saw a growth rate of 1% or so; we grew at over 15% and continue to see that this year as well. A large part of this is driven by external factors where consumers are becoming more conscious of what they consume. But the initiatives driving transformation within sales and distribution (S&D) are what really impacted us. The heart of an organisation like ours is really the S&D system. We aim to get to Rs 5,000 crore by 2018 and Rs 10,000 crore by 2022, and a lot of this is driven by the fact that we are almost revamping the entire S&D system to be more future ready.
What is the present market standing of your brands and where do you see major growth coming from?
Appy Fizz launched a decade ago and we created this category of sparkling fruit drinks in which we today hold a majority share. Appy has around 65-70% market share and Frooti holds about 25% market share. Beverages form a large part of our business and this is where we see massive opportunity. Our water business is something that is not a metro phenomenon anymore and we see a large opportunity in driving our brand, Bailey. A lot of the new categories we will be entering into will be focussed on health and youth, but nothing that we can talk about at the moment.
How have your communication strategies evolved over time with Frooti and Appy now catering to the millennial?
Our approach with advertising is to focus more on being able to mirror the aspirations and image of the youth. A consumer associates stronger with a brand they have connections with in terms of image, brand philosophy and values. It's important to bring that out rather than over-communicating or trying to oversell your product in a 30 second spot. Since the time we relaunched Frooti, that has been our focus — a visual disruption. Being able to stand out visually in a cluttered environment is the first point of success on whether you are really grabbing the attention of the consumer or not.
How big is your presence in the snack food category?
Currently, our snack food business is focussed on the up-country market; it's a conscious call that we have taken. Originally, we launched Hippo in the baked foods segment and we had priced it at par with any other snack brand. But we think the market wasn't as ready for it and a lot of other logistical challenges surrounded it. So we went on to introduce more traditional Indian namkeens. Our focus is on products that are healthy for consumers but the category is not something we are really driving with as much pressure at this point of time.
With branded coffee from various coffee chains flooding the market, how are you increasing the penetration for Café Cuba?
Café Cuba is a brand we are focussing on tremendously for on-premise segments which include institutions, colleges, etc; and that is where we have seen maximum traction from a far more evolved consumer who appreciates drinking coffee in such a format. It's more about doing co-branded nights at pubs and merchandising within this segment. I think Café Cuba has created its own niche within a segment that enjoys the taste of coffee, and it's bound to grow over time.
With diversification and expansion, what kind of threat do players like Paper Boat, Raw Pressery, etc pose to you?
Raw Pressery is catering to a niche within a niche — whether you look at the distribution focus or the product itself — it's catering to a very different set of consumers and different consumption needs as well. So I wouldn't consider it as direct competition in any form. Paper Boat has, of course, done a great job and it has tried to penetrate the market with new products and more ethnic flavours. Today, consumers want variety; so the more you have brands like these, it only helps grow the market further. It is great that brands in this category are innovating because it is helping in expanding the category.
With more consumption happening on-the-go, do you see the returnable glass bottle (RGB) model shrinking?
The RGB model has been declining for quite some time. Over the last 10 years, we have seen the shift in package formats in favour of PET bottles. So PET continues to be the fastest growing pack format followed by tetra and glass.
Parle Agro currently has Frio and Dhishoom in its glass bottle distribution network. How are you building them?
Frio and Dhishoom are part of a very different network within our S&D system. They are part of our up-country network that is focussed on glass bottle distribution. Thus, Frio is not a brand that is usually pushed. It's more of a support brand and forms an extremely small part of our overall business. Meanwhile, Dhishoom is a huge opportunity for us. Though limited at this point because it's only present in a few places, we will definitely take Dhishoom nationally over the next few years.

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork/CBS News/AP) — The end of an era has come for New York City journalism, as The Village Voice, the famed alternative weekly that has been in print for more than six decades, is going online only.
Owner Peter Barbey announced the change on Tuesday.
He said the paper, founded in 1955 by Dan Wolf, Ed Fancher and Norman Mailer, "has been a beacon for progress and a literal voice for thousands of people whose identities, opinions, and ideas might otherwise have been unheard."
Barbey said he expects that to continue, with reporting and stories posted on its website.
The Village Voice was the country's first alternative newsweekly, and has won multiple Pulitzer Prizes. It has been celebrated for its arts and culture coverage and its investigations, jump-starting the careers of scores of journalists.
Legendary local writers Wayne Barrett and Nat Hentoff, music critic Robert Christgau, and entertainment columnist Michael Musto are among the many well-known writers whose work have appeared in the Voice over the years.
The Village Voice website has also been recognized twice as one of the nation's premier online news outlets.
The paper's website last had 1.3 million unique monthly visitors, according to The Hollywood Reporter, although its audience numbers fluctuate greatly.
Barbey bought the paper in 2015. He is the president and chief executive officer of The Reading Eagle newspaper in Pennsylvania.

At only 700lbs, the Concrete MD can be towed behind even the smallest vehicle. The wheel kit includes 18" diameter tires that slide into steel receivers to create a sturdy axle. The wheels are positioned to balance the mixer and allow the unit to be moved by human power at the job site when necessary. The dual-purpose tow bar slides out to connect to a 2" ball hitch.
The same tow bar is used to maneuver the mixer and the power unit around the jobsite by hand. The hydraulic power unit weighs 300lbs, but when you connect the same wheel kit onto this unit it is balanced for ease of movement.
The wheel kit and tow bar are standard with each Concrete MD package and are easy to move between both components
All of the components of the Concrete MD are packaged into one compact shipping system. The hydraulic power unit, the wheel kit and the legs are nested under the forklift pockets for shipping. The batch buckets, hydraulic motor and cement bag screen tuck up neatly beside the hopper.
The MD package is designed to allow stacking the completed units for shipping in cargo containers.

Turn Your Great Idea Into an Amazing Book
You have an idea and know what you want your book to be like, but getting there is proving harder than you thought. Don't worry -- we've worked on hundreds of book projects and can help you move from concept to manuscript through a personalized process built entirely around your goals and work habits.
Through hours of phone or Skype conversation and working closely together on email, we will tease the ideas out of your head and onto the page. The process begins by talking about your idea, why you're excited about it, and where you hope your project will go. From there, work to create an outline of your book to help clarify and organize your ideas into a coherent and engaging first draft. Then it's time to break out the red pen and start to refine it until you are satisfied that the manuscript is the best it can be. When it's time to present it to publishers, you can be proud of your polished product.
This process is about you and how you work best, and we will cater it to meet your needs. If you need a strong structure, we'll use a personalized system of goals and deadlines. If you prefer to work casually, we can pick it up when you're ready for the next steps. There's no commitment and you can change how we work together at any time.
The first step is to get in touch. We'll sit down for a free, no obligation consultation on the phone or video chat to talk about your book and what we can do to help. Your book project has been gathering dust for long enough. Let's get started!

Fed up of trying to decipher VAT quarterly payments, annual Corporate Tax and monthly employer contributions?
Tax is the bane of any business but it's a necessary evil, and one that we can handle on your behalf to relieve the stress entirely.
By implementing forward-thinking and smart planning when it comes to tax there will be no hidden surprises of the bank loan variety! Because of the specialist knowledge in our field, we will ensure you pay the least amount of tax as possible and what tax you will need to pay, will be planned and ring-fenced well in advance.
VAT Returns
If your business is VAT registered there is a requirement to submit quarterly VAT returns. To complicate matters there are different VAT schemes available and a plethora of VAT percentages to contend with across your sales and purchases.
But you don't need to worry with the finer details. Our tax superheroes will handle it for you through careful scrutiny of your business transactions to handle any queries and ensure deadlines are met well beforehand.
Corporate Tax
20% tax on your profits can be a huge blow to a business but there's no need to lose too much sleep over it. By implementing tax efficient planning and reviewing monthly or quarterly management accounts we'll know exactly what you'll need to pay in order to prepare. Effective planning will also highlight areas where savings can be made and processes can be improved to ensure as many of the hard earned profits are kept within the business as possible.
Directors Tax
As a director of a limited company you are legally required to file an annual self-assessment tax return by 31st January for the previous financial year. Through smart planning, our aim is to ensure your tax payments are as minimal as possible so that you can enjoy the fruits of your labour.
Tax Planning
In addition to the main obligations of tax returns and statutory taxes we can also assist business owners with strategies for inheritances tax, capital gains, profit extraction, exit strategies, employee remuneration and IR35 advice.
There is always the possibility of a tax inspection hanging over a business like a dark cloud. With effective tax planning, genuine account logging and reporting we'll manage any enquiries for you. After all, we probably know the finances of your business far better than you do!
To assist with effective tax planning and reporting All In One Business Services implement the Xero online accounting system. This provides up-to-date instant reporting and total transparency for our clients.

I have a bit of a problem I need to solve. My office is located in a town in the UK where there has been a settlement predating the Romans. The office is in an old building in its own right, but is sitting on ground where there is a lot, and I mean crazy amounts of energy. My hands and feet usually tingle quite a lot all the time from prana/chi/ki but after a day in the office they are quite numb and the tingling has spread to my entire body and I am absolutely drained from energy. My guides tell me the energy is not negative, but nonetheless it is affecting my performance at work and I need to do something about it. I have tried smudging with burning white sage, using crystals, meditating, etc. but nothing has been successful. Does anybody have a fail safe solution.

NY donor ups radio gift to $26 million
December 7, 2017 by norman lebrecht
The Jerome L. Greene Foundation has given $10 million to New York Public Radio, home of WNYC and WQXR.
That's on top of $6 million in 2006 and $10 million in 2014, making them the biggest supporters of classical radio anywhere on earth.

Good work deserves support. Great work, New York Public Radio! I hope the federal government will equally support NPR. We need the truth, plainly told.
It's wonderful to hear that a wealthy foundation is offering support for WNYC, but does this also suggest an affirmation of the allegedly terrible response of WNYC head Laura Walker to years of accusations, reported first by journalist Suki Kim on New York Magazine's website, against on air host John Hockenberry? Additionally, two of the women hosts–both African American–that he co-hosted with allegedly alerted WNYC and Walker that he had essentially forced them out, even though the show they were co-hosting, The Takeaway, was originally established as a forum for diversity. When Walker appeared on The Takeaway a few days ago, her response when questioned by new host Todd Zwillich was deeply unsatisfying, to say the least. (All of this is easily discoverable on Google, and it is not "fake news.") Then there are the recent allegations, reported in the New York Times, against Leonard Lopate and Jonathan Schwartz. I do hope that the Jerome L. Greene Foundation, in supporting WNYC, is not also supporting the allegedly awful behavior that has been allowed to take root there.
Amazing !

The Patapsco Heritage Greenway's mission is to preserve, protect, interpret and restore the environment, history and culture of the Patapsco River Valley.
In 2015, the Patapsco Heritage Greenway celebrated the realization of a major goal when the Patapsco Valley became one of Maryland's 13 certified Heritage Areas. This designation depended upon the unanimous approval of the Patapsco Valley Heritage Area (PVHA) Management Plan by both the Baltimore and Howard County Councils.
Maryland's Heritage Areas are places to experience the authentic heritage of Maryland in a unique way that you cannot experience anywhere else. In Heritage Areas individuals, businesses, non-profits and governments form partnerships to preserve the best of Maryland's historic sites and towns, unspoiled natural landscapes and enduring traditions.

The question is asked [21], "...how did a religion that began as verbal traditions in Hebrew or Aramaic change into one whose surviving Scripture is written almost entirely in Greek?"
Aside from neglecting scholarship that finds Semitic roots behind NT texts (though no doubt the Flavians did convenient research to ensure this?), it ignores the point that expressing its texts in the lingua franca of the day (Koine Greek) is exactly what we would expect from a missionary faith.
It is a better question why Titus published in Greek material that was intended to target people who mainly spoke Aramaic and Hebrew.

Look, I've asked you directly to show passages in the Hebrew Bible that support reincarnation as a tenet of the Jewish faith. I'm tired of your games of ignoring those requests, and deflecting with completely irrelevant questions.
I hate to get between the bodies in a lovers' quarrel, but does something have to be in the Old Testament for Hebrews to have believed in it?
We know that there were different sects within Judaism, just as there are in any religion: the Zealots and the Essenes are familiar to most Christians from Sunday School.
Surely it is possible that one or more of these sects held to a belief in reincarnation? They might have got it from the Egyptians, or the Greeks, or the Persians, or even come up with it themselves. It's not such a bizarre idea, after all; it appears in many cultures.
Believing in reincarnation would not make them cease to be Jews, after all.
What did Jesus mean in this cryptic statement about Heaven being under attack?
. . . scholarship that finds Semitic roots behind NT texts . . .
Are you aware of any surviving examples of letters, or other written documents (not of a religious nature, like rabbinical commentaries and copies of OT scripture) in Hebrew in the time of Jesus?
Here is a good explanation I found. Apparently when the Greek text is translated into Hebrew it clears up quite a bit:

Good heavens. You and I actually agree on something for a change.
What in the world is ATS coming to?
So, yes, while I can accept that there may have been some small number of Jews who saw things differently (as the Sadducees did,) I can't believe that the result would be a Christianity with reincarnation as a core concept, and references to it buried throughout the Hebrew Bible.

Good question. S & F from me for getting me thinking this early on!
For some outside the box thinking, how about the use of "heaven" as allegory (popular at the time). As in heaven being Earth (as in human society). Put in that context, Jesus is right and heaven is under attack every single day......

David Price starts for the Tampa Bay Rays on Monday night against the Texas Rangers to open a crucial three-game series, albeit more crucial for the Rays than the Rangers. A David Price start is always one to pay attention to, for a somewhat obvious reason: Price is one of those starters with an electric fastball, in the simple sense of "it's really fast." I mean, I love Felix Hernandez's changeup and R.A. Dickey's knuckler and Clayton Kershaw's slider, but there's an old-school beauty to those starting pitchers who will just rear back in a big situation and attempt to blow a high hard one past the enemy batsman.
Price is one of those guys. His average fastball velocity this season is 95.4 mph, just a tick behind Stephen Strasburg's 95.7 for fastest in the majors among starting pitchers. Considering it's coming from a 6-foot-6 frame, it's a fastball that also comes with an intimidation factor, somewhat in the mode of Randy Johnson. Not surprisingly, left-handers are only hitting .195 off Price, after hitting .171 a season ago. It may be a nice game for Josh Hamilton to enjoy a day off, although Richard Durrett writes that Price hasn't fared well against the Rangers in his career.
When you think of dominant left-handed starters with big fastballs, don't you have to start thinking of Price as one of the elite? Besides Johnson, I think of pitchers like Sandy Koufax, Sam McDowell, Lefty Grove, Steve Carlton, Mark Langston and Herb Score. While Johnson (fastball/slider) and Koufax (fastball/curveball) essentially dominated with two pitches, Price has developed a solid four-pitch repertoire that includes a slider, curve and changeup, a key reason behind his recent dominant run in which he's gone 8-0 with a 1.45 ERA over his past 12 starts. But everything still feeds off his fastball; Price's .270 wOBA (weighted on-base average) allowed against his fastball is third-lowest among starting pitchers, behind only Jered Weaver and Brandon Beachy. While those two are fly ball pitchers, Price's dominance is seen in this rare combination: He's the only starter this season who has fanned at least 25 percent of the batters he's faced and generated a groundball rate of at least 50 percent. Strikeout and groundballs are good things.
Price isn't the only Tampa Bay pitcher on a roll right now, of course. The Rays are in the midst of a historic run of pitching excellence. According to ESPN Stats and Info, the Rays have allowed 76 runs over their past 35 games; the last team to do that was the 1981 Astros, from Aug. 25-Sept. 29. The last American League team to do that was the 1968 Yankees. The Tampa Bay bullpen has a 0.85 ERA over that span, helping the Rays to a season team ERA of 3.26, which would be the lowest in the AL since the 1990 A's posted a 3.18 mark.
Still, Price sets the tone and has become the Cy Young favorite in a crowded and talented American League field. Here are the current leaders:
Price: 16-4, 2.28 ERA, 170 IP, 132 H, 46 R, 50 BB, 167 SO, 5.2 WAR
Justin Verlander: 12-7, 2.50 ERA, 190.2 IP, 63 R, 47 BB, 192 SO, 6.2 WAR
Felix Hernandez: 12-5, 2.54 ERA, 187.2 IP, 56 R, 45 BB, 179 SO, 4.6 WAR
Chris Sale: 15-4, 2.65 ERA, 153 IP, 122 H, 46 R, 36 BB, 150 SO, 5.4 WAR
Jered Weaver: 16-3, 2.74 ERA, 148 IP, 112 H, 48 R, 33 BB, 113 SO, 3.2 WAR
Hiroki Kuroda: 12-9, 2.98 ERA, 175 IP, 153 H, 62 R, 40 BB, 131 SO, 5.3 WAR
Matt Harrison: 15-7, 3.04 ERA, 169 IP, 159 H, 59 R 48 BB, 101 SO, 5.4 WAR
Verlander's big edge over Price is he's pitched 20 more innings, but considering Price leads the AL in ERA and is tied with Weaver in wins, he's probably the favorite among the voting bloc. Price has made eight starts against the Rangers, Red Sox and Yankees, the AL's big three offensive teams; but Verlander has also faced them eight times. Price has a 3.12 ERA in those eight starts, Verlander a 2.93 mark (although with seven unearned runs allowed). King Felix, by the way, has made six starts against those three clubs and has delivered a 1.29 ERA and three shutouts.
Besides Verlander, it's worth noting that Sale, Kuroda and Harrison also have matched Price's WAR. Park effects are coming into play there, as Kuroda and Harrison have to ply their trades in more hitter-friendly parks. Indeed, Price has a 1.66 ERA at home, 2.93 on the road. And the underrated Sale continues to put up impressive numbers.
We'll dig deeper into this later in the season, but right now it appears Price is on track to win his first Cy Young Award. For the Rays, however, the more important goal: Win tonight and inch another game closer to the Yankees. As always, never count out Joe Maddon's club.
