Polarity Within Beneficence: Additional Thoughts on Nonaggressive Obstetric Management
Abrams, Fredrick R.
Bibliographic Citation
JAMA. 1989 Jun 16; 261(23): 3454-3455.
The author comments on the argument, for nonaggressive obstetric management of third trimester pregnancies with virtually untreatable anomalies, developed in the same journal issue by Frank Chervenak and Laurence McCullough, who base their argument on the ethical principles of autonomy and beneficence. While he views the argument for nonaggressive treatment from autonomy as less subject to internal contradiction, he stresses that beneficence can be used to argue for either aggressive or nonaggressive treatment based on varying values. The difficulty with Chervenak and McCullough's position arises because they identify nonaggressive treatment as beneficent and thereby imply that mothers who choose aggressive treatment violate that principle. Abrams argues that such a choice may rather indicate a different interpretation of beneficence so that only active intervention is morally acceptable. (KIE abstract)

Jackson Hewitt is gearing up this tax season to offer its tax customers help with signing up for the Obamacare health insurance marketplaces, despite the technical problems that have plagued the new exchanges since they launched at the beginning of this month.
The tax prep chain announced the new program last month, on which it is partnering with the private health insurance exchange GetInsured, to help taxpayers enroll in the system (see Jackson Hewitt Offers Help with Obamacare).
"So many consumers are having trouble just accessing the system and then once they get in the system, understanding all of their options," said Brian Haile, senior vice president for health care policy at Jackson Hewitt Tax Service Inc. "I think that's the number one issue. The number two issue is that they're being asked a number of questions about their income. They find those questions hard to answer and they don't have a lot of the information in front of them. It takes quite a bit of time for them to complete the interview even if the system is working optimally. What we're doing is saying, look, if you're having your taxes done at Jackson Hewitt, we have 90 percent of the information required to go ahead and do the application for the programs. If you're interested, we'll take just five extra minutes and ask you the remaining questions that we need to ask in order to apply and we'll go ahead and get your application in for you at no extra charge. That will start in our stores on January 6."
By then, Haile hopes the government will have most of the glitches worked out. But, even if it doesn't, he's not worried. "Our system is 100 percent independent of the federal system," he told me last Friday. "The federal system can crash and burn. I certainly hope it doesn't and I hope the performance continues to improve, but were that not to be the case, it would not affect Jackson Hewitt clients at all. Our system is entirely separate. We have workarounds so we have no dependence on a functioning federal system."
He explained that if the federal exchange is offline, then Jackson Hewitt will generate paper-based applications on behalf of the customers and let them sign it. "If the federal system is not working, then we'll send it in to the clearinghouse, the federal processing center for it to be processed. But the consumer will not be disadvantaged in any way. We did that anticipating that there would be these kind of problems. We built a system that would be able to help people even if the federal system wasn't performing at peak levels."
The federal system certainly hasn't been doing that lately, with experts pointing the finger at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services for relying on outside contractors to develop the faulty technology on Healthcare.gov, which requires people to fill out all of their information before they can even get an opportunity to compare any health insurance plans and then displaying computer error after computer error onscreen.
Jackson Hewitt is undeterred, however, and plans to help its customers enroll with the new health insurance exchanges across all 50 states and the District of Columbia, as well as offer assistance in enrolling for other federal programs such as Medicaid and the Children's Health Insurance Program, or CHIP. Before joining Jackson Hewitt, Haile worked as director of the Insurance Exchange Planning Initiative of Tennessee, which prepared for the rollout in that state of the Affordable Care Act exchanges, and earlier as eligibility chief for the District of Columbia's Medicaid program.
Jackson Hewitt is not licensed to provide health insurance, which is why it is partnering with GetInsured, Haile pointed out. However, it can also help its customers apply for the various tax credits that are available under the Affordable Care Act to assist taxpayers with paying for health insurance coverage. He expects to see other large tax prep providers eventually getting into the business of offering help with enrolling in Obamacare, but he doesn't think that small tax prep firms will be able to match the scale of Jackson Hewitt's offering.
"No other company has made an investment in finding that kind of eligibility expertise and figuring out how to integrate that into the tax platform," he said. "I think that there are going to be larger entities that over time are going to make a play here. Certainly I think Intuit will probably do something like that. We're absolutely pioneers in this space. No other tax company will have as extensive an offering because they won't necessarily serve all 50 states, and certainly they won't serve all eligibility groups. But over time we'll see if our advantage persists. It will be very challenging for the independent tax practitioners to provide this level of service just because of the complexity of each of these programs."
As part of their regular work this coming tax season, Jackson Hewitt tax preparers will be telling customers that they need to enroll in a health insurance plan by February 14 or face the possibility of penalties.
"We're spending time reminding consumers that they need to sign up before Valentine's Day if they hope to escape the Obamacare tax penalties," said Haile. ""There's a nice window during the tax season when folks who are still uninsured can come in and get the help and sign up for coverage and still make sure that they don't have any tax liability from the individual mandate under the ACA. They have to come in and sign up for these programs by Valentine's Day in order to escape the penalties. If they wait, they can still sign up through the end of March, but not only will they go uninsured for a longer period of time, and that's always dangerous, but they then expose themselves to the new tax penalty under the ACA."

Kundo: Age of the Rampant Movie
Kundo: Age of the Rampant Movie The Base Line
There's a lot of mixing activity in this pasta western-influenced epic
Kundo: Age of the Rampant Movie Opens
August 29 (Well Go USA)
Kundo: Age of the Rampant Movie Cast
Ha Jung-woo, Group Gong-won, Lee Sung-min, Cho Jin-woong, Ma Dong-seok, Yoon Ji-hye, Jung Man-sik
Kundo: Age of the Rampant Movie Director
Yoon Jong-bin
That its characters basically drive off into the sundown at the summary represents one of the many European film components in Kundo: Age of the Widespread. Yoon Jong-bin's Japanese impressive is set during the mid-19th millennium Josean interval and issues the uses of a Robin the boy wonder Hood-style range of bandits who grab from the damaged wealthy and give to the poor, famine-plagued peasants. It split box-office information in its local nation upon its launch last month; now getting a U.S. theatrical launch in several significant places, this interesting actioner should well please Oriental viewers even if its extreme duration will probably restrict cross-over success.
The film's idol, performed by the charming Hold Jung-woo, is Dolchi, a grocer who operates afoul of the wicked leaders Jo Yoon (Kang Dong-won) and is nearly put to loss of life before being saved at the last moment by the Kundo, a vibrant number of figures, such as one known only as the "Vicious Monk," who quickly solicit him in their positions. Even as the team goes about their aggressive, culturally modifying ways, Dolchi plots his vengeance against the conceited aristocrat.
Combining impressive interval melodrama with pasta western-style tropes — the mixing musical show ranking by Cho Young-wuk clearly owes a debt to Ennio Morricone — the film functions an range of ornately held battle series presenting a mixture of high-flying fighting styles, mixing swordplay and old-fashioned gun fights.
The complicated planning, abundance of figures and large amounts of informative narration may confirm off-putting for some less careful viewers. But the film director infuses the fast-proceedings with enough visible style — motivated by filmmakers which range from Kurosawa to Leone to yes, Tarantino — to information settlement. The large throw delves into their extremely physical positions with passion while clearly enjoying their vibrant conversation such as such unforgettable collections as "I'll prepare your liver organ and have a consume tonight" and "Attain your screwing Buddhahood." The latter are certainly terms to live by.

A double feature of encouraging news is pushing shares of IMAX
An upbeat story in Wall Street Journal's Heard on the Street column this morning proposes that the provider of supersized theatrical experiences is positioned to grow nicely even if ticket sales continue to run sluggish at the local movie theater venue.
The key to IMAX's bullish thesis is that desperate exhibitors continue to embrace the proprietary enhanced format as a way to deliver a premium-priced cinematic outing that can't be duplicated in a home theater. There were 373 IMAX screens installed by the end of 2010, but the company's order backlog should translate into 580 to 600 screens by the end of this year.
Since IMAX receives a percentage of box-office receipts, more screens will naturally translate into greater revenue -- and even greater profitability given the scalable nature of the model -- as its presence grows.
There is also the booming international market. The column points out how ticket sales in North America have inched just 15% higher from 2006 to 2010, half as fast as the rest of the world. The potential is even greater for emerging economies, and it should come as no surprise that IMAX's biggest market outside of the United States is now China.
The column closes out by pointing to the compelling valuation. IMAX is fetching just 18 times this year's projected profitability of $1.05 a share. Slower growing exhibitor Regal
The column doesn't point out -- but I will -- that IMAX is also trading at a cheaper forward earnings multiple than 3-D outfitter RealD
The second piece of bull-affirming news today is a joint revenue sharing deal with a Canadian exhibitor to install four digital IMAX screens in Quebec. These deals have been popular lately, as IMAX forgoes juicy upfront installation fees in exchange for a bigger piece of the passive ticketing revenue.
Nice. Just as a column is discussing the number of screens that IMAX plans to have in place by the end of this year -- boom -- here come four more in the greater Montreal area.
I've been a believer in IMAX for years. It's been a market beater both times that I have recommended IMAX as an investment to Rule Breakers newsletter subscribers. As part of the CAPScall initiative for accountability, I've also had a bullish IMAX call on Motley Fool CAPS for some time.
All the world's a stage for IMAX, and investors can bite into a dynamic growth company in an otherwise moribund industry at a value investing price.
If you want to see how premium cinema holds up beyond today's matinee, consider adding RealD and IMAX to My Watchlist. If you're ready for a different kind of feature presentation, ask yourself if you know the two words that are scaring the dance moves out of Steve Ballmer. It's a free report, but like a hot theatrical release, it won't be showing forever -- so check it out now.

The importance of keeping identification on your dog can never be stressed enough. However, some pet owners might decide to take their dogs' collars off because of a false sense of security at home.
No matter how you look at it, you can never fully prevent accidents from happening; that's why they're called accidents! Even though you may feel your pet is safe in your home, a door could accidentally be left open, a fence could blow over, or a gate might fail to close all the way. So think twice before removing that collar: it's an ever-important safety barrier between your pet and the outside world.
Here are some of the common reasons people might remove collars from their pets, and what you can do to safely avoid these issues.
Reason #1: I *just* took it off to give my dog a bath.
This is the most common reason we hear from people who call to report their dog getting out without a collar. Simple solution: put your dog's collar back on right after his bath. If it's fancy and you don't want it to get wet, keep a cheap nylon collar with a back-up tag on it for after-bath zoomies.
Reason #2: The collar is rubbing the fur off my dog's neck, so I take it off when we're at home.
We would suggest a tag collar with a soft lining. We've ordered them, and they make a huge difference. Your dog won't even know it's there! Need a recommendation? Try Spoiled Bratzwear Canine Couture, Cammie's Collars or Susan Lanci Ultrasuede Collars (sold at Paws Around Town in Oklahoma City).
Reason #3: My dog is microchipped, so he doesn't need ID tags.
Microchipping is an extremely valuable safety precaution for your pet. However, it should only be used as a backup method to identify your pet. Imagine this: it's nighttime and your dog has escaped your yard; you are frantic! All of your friends and family are out searching the neighborhood for your missing best friend. You search all night and into the wee hours of the morning before you decide to go to sleep and try again tomorrow. What you don't know is that a well-meaning family drove down your street 5 minutes after your pet escaped your yard, and they picked him up for fear he would be hit by a car. If he had an ID tag with your phone number, he'd have been home with you right away. But since he's not identifiable to the regular person, and the vet is closed, this family took him to their home (either down the street or across the city) and might not think about taking him to the vet to be scanned for a chip right away. Some people won't even stop for a dog running loose if they don't see a collar, because it's a lot of work to try to find where a dog lives if it's not tagged.
Reason #4: I'm worried my dog will be strangled in his collar while I'm not home.
This could be a legitimate concern, especially if your dog is in a martingale collar. Always be sure the ID tags are connected to one of the side brackets and not the D-ring on the leash loop, so if the tags do get caught on something, the collar won't tighten as your dog pulls free. This is also a best practice to avoid accidentally attaching a leash to a weak split ring rather than the D ring itself. If this is a concern for you, just get your dog a single diameter tag collar (see Solution #2) to be worn when your dog is at home, and you can slip a martingale on along with the tag collar when you take him out.
If you are still worried about your dog being in a tag collar at home, purchase a breakaway tag collar so that if your dog becomes tangled, the collar will break free. Note: these types of collars are NOT for walking your dog, so please do not attach a leash to it! We would recommend not even having a D-ring on the breakaway collar, to eliminate any confusion. Shop for a breakaway collar.
If we didn't address your concerns with always having a tagged collar on your pet, leave us a comment and let us know your thoughts. We want to help your pet remain safe and comfortable in your home!

1) Rick Grimes: Hostage Negotiator
Rick Grimes is tied up in his underwear and he has these trash people right where he wants them. He's giving them one last chance! Set him free now and he'll barely murder everyone. Jadis counters by showing him how goofy he looks snapping photos in the zombie apocalypse. And because there's almost certainly no film in that broken camera, they've got a guy drawing what I can only assume to be a very bad ten second sketch of Rick's scantily clad dad bod. Wait, did Rick REALLY just ask why they're taking pictures? Really, dude? She's going to use them to sculpt you, Rick! Ask a stupid ass question get a stupid ass answer.
2) Eugene's Stumped
Eugene is certifiably stumped right now. How stumped is he? He's making a list of what he knows, what he doesn't know, and what he doesn't know wholly. And doesn't know any of it. If this list was the SATs, Eugene's not even getting the freebie points for accurately filling in your name.
3) Dwight's Face Time
Dwight makes a compelling argument to get Eugene on his side. "Hi, folks. What a wonderful crowd. Hey, what's the deal with when your face skin burns? It STINKS. And it doesn't smell too great, neither. Alright, don't forget to tip your waitress, that's my time." Then he tells Eugene he doesn't have blood on his hands yet, but will soon. Gee, I wonder if that will pay off later? Eugene is acting like he was born into this and has a "Savior Life" tattoo across his tummy even though he showed up two minutes ago as a prisoner and only stuck around for the pickles. Alright later, Dwight. Eugene's got a busy day ahead of him of CAO, that's "creating acronym options", and BFL's, better known as "blank fucking lists."
4) Deez Guts
Father Gabriel is not looking so hot. Because he did the zombie guts thing that nobody ever does and it made him sick. Which is great, because it explains why nobody ever does the zombie guts thing. But it also feels like they only wrote this season 8 storyline because we've been asking for 7 seasons, "Hey, so why does nobody ever do the zombie guts thing?"
5) Eugene Needs To Work On His Bedside Manner
Eugene handles this situation with grace by standing over a dying man and talking about why it's his own fault he's laying here. Hang tight, Eugene. Doctor Genius has to run to the market to grab some cilantro to rub on Father Gabriel's failing kidneys. Let's see if Eugene warms up now that it's just the two of them?
Nope! He's doubling down. Now he's telling a dying priest that God is bullshit? He's going for the high score of not giving a rat's ass.
Aaand Eugene has blood on his hands before the commercial break! Not as a metaphor. Actual blood on his actual hands five seconds after Dwight said it. Shiiiiiiiiit, that is lazy writing.
6) Eugene Porter: Boombox Repair Extraordinaire
Oh, no. Eugene is drinking just to get to sleep now? Speaking from personal experience, but if you do that more than 5 or 6 times a week, you've got a serious drinking problem that you should probably deal with eventually but, like, definitely not until after the holidays, obviously. And then there's New Year's. Get it under control by mid-January maybe? That feels realistic. I like that this person I do not recognize has to take two minutes to remind us about some crap that happened with her character a year ago because nobody remembers what happened with her character a year ago. Shiiiiiiiiiit, that is even lazier writing!
7) Let's Not Overthink This
Guys, what's with all the questions? Everything is going perfectly according to plan and will certainly result in victory and Daryl wants to jeopardize all of it to crash a truck into a wall. Plus Morgan is crazy again, let's not overthink this! When it feels right, it's right. And when it feels incredibly wrong, like right now, maybe it's also right? There's really only one way to know for sure and it's not by sitting around talking about it. Ugh, now Tara is making us remember that garbage Oceanside episode from last season. Aaaand for that reason, Rosita is out.
8) Bad Hand Job
Negan wants Eugene to know he appreciates just how big and strong his spongy brain is. Which means he's going to be that much more upset about bashing it in with a bat in 30 hours when they run out of Diet Pepsi.
Yikes. This hand…whatever you want to call it…certainly could've gone better. I mean, Negan, that is definitely NOT how you go for a handshake. And Eugene? If my boss goes in for a handshake, and I accidentally try to kiss it, there's only one professional way to handle that situation. Jump out the fucking window and kill myself.
9) Dramatic Boombox Fixing Intensifies
Welcome to season 8 of The Walking Dead! AMC: We also know drama, and we're pretty sure it's watching a sad man fix a boombox then wander around a warehouse with a headlight set to tense music. It's almost like they're fucking with the audience! But they're not. They're just fucking the audience.
How did nobody grab Sasha's old iPod from her coffin? It's a deadly weapon! You could use that heavy shit to bludgeon someone to death.
10) Michonne's Second Thoughts
Michonne is having second thoughts. It's as if she suddenly realized she's in the middle of Rick and Daryl's insane action movie that's been unfolding all season, and women who aren't white don't have a great shot of living to be around for the credits. Michonne tries in vain to talk a crazy redneck out of crashing a truck into a wall with no real thought of the consequences. Save your breath, Michonne! This was always his redneck destiny.
11) Eugene's Perfect Plan
Eugene knows that the key to success is believing in yourself. Which is why he says this WILL be successful! But a slightly bigger key to success is not letting a man with a gun sneak up behind you.
Dwight tries to remind Eugene about his friends. Eugene says he doesn't even know those dudes, reminds Dwight about the time he bit his penis, then goes for it. Because Eugene really is the bravest coward on the block. Dwight shoots his model airplane out of the sky, because the biggest key to success is having a plan that isn't stupid as hell.
12) The Duke Of Hazard
Daryl coming in hot! Because you know any scheme that involves putting a cinderblock on a gas pedal and jumping out of a moving car has the level of precision that gets quality results.
Wow. There are a lot of zombies coming in! And it looks like, contrary to Daryl's beliefs, the zombies didn't get the face chart clearly outlining who is and isn't a bad guy within these walls. Pretty horrific stuff! Eugene is going to need a whole lot of giggle juice for nighty night nap time after this.
13) Never Go Full Eugene
Eugene makes Father Gabriel's last moments on Earth as awful as possible by bursting into his room and yelling at his dying ass with every weird word, alliterated phrase, and number combination he can think of. Father Gabriel prays to god for his ears to fall off from infection before Eugene walks in again.
14) Crappy Hour
Eugene has a plan to get the Saviors out of this mess. And he almost spilled the beans about Dwight. And all this pressure is pushing him to drink alone while the sun is still out until he throws up in the sink. Wow. Eugene. You should really get this kind of drinking under control. Soon. But not too soon. Because after New Years you've got Valentine's Day and that can be brutal. Then there's St. Patrick's Day in March. But sometime between Coachella in April and Cinco De Mayo in Mayo you need to really get this kind of drinking under control.
15) Garbage Disposal
Rick Grimes wastes no time completely wrecking all these trash people with his stick of justice, then pinning Jadis' face next to a still munching zombie head. To really hit them where it hurts, Rick talks shit about their dumb games and sculptures. And because the trash people value nothing more than their dumb games and sculptures and finally give in to Rick's sweaty demands. They agree to play ball, but they've got a few demands of their own. When this is all over, Jadis wants to sculpt Rick naked. Because seriously there's nothing these trash people value more than their dumb games and sculptures. OK, cool! Let's take the trash people to see what's going on at the Sanctuary! Think they'll be very impressed. Hmm, one of the lookouts has been brutally killed? None of the snipers are reporting in? They're probably all just goofing. Classic goof! Rick decides to go for a quick rifle climb to see just how hard they're goofing.
Dear god. They ain't goofin' none at all. TUNE IN NEXT WEEK! What was Eugene's mysterious plan to get rid of the walkers? He started talking fast and loud over the newly repaired intercom and five seconds later all the zombies got the fuck out of there. Will Father Gabriel survive? Yes, but after hearing Eugene babble over the intercom he's going to wish he was dead. What major character will Negan kill? It's the mid-season finale, so they'll probably cut away as he swings Lucille and make us wait until February to find out. NONE OF THIS AND MORE on S08E08 of The Walking Dead.

I've been spending all my free time for a while learning more web skills, so I can update my website.
For the last few days, I've been studying CSS (Cascading Style Sheets; it's a Web Design thing,) using the excellent video tutorials at Lynda.com.
Finally, I felt confident enough that I went ahead and updated the "News" page on the first page of my site. It was a real mess before; I won't go into it, but I'll say I wasn't proud of the code, but it did what I wanted it to do.
But now, it looks just like I want it to look, and it's real live CSS! It even validates and everything!
So I'm a Happy Camper. :D
Okay, this might not look like a big deal to anyone else, but it's going to bring my website into the Twenty-first Century. Until now, I've taken the Lazy Way and done all my pages in a WYSIWYG Website Editor. Several of them. Over the course of a decade. Which has some really nice points, but gah... the code that it's left me with! I think it's quite possible that the News page is the only one on my entire site that does validate. And it's not like I'm not capable of writing code. :D
So from now on, it's all going to be a lot better; especially if you're using a Screen Reader or something. Although it's probably going to take months to update the whole site.
Still, it needs doing, and it will be great to have it done.
In the meantime, if you guys want to see what can be done with CSS check out the CSS Zen Garden It's amazing.

There have been times in the history of man when waring factions are brought together by a common enemy.
The Brits and French had the Germans, Rocky and Apollo had Clubber Lang and Indiana and Kentucky have Dan Dakich.
Dakich is such an troll that both Indiana and Kentucky fans want him to crawl back under the bridge he came from. To bring those two groups together takes a special type of horrible for sure but what can we do about it?
Can we go to Twitter and ask Dan to change his ways? Not a chance, he will just block you.
Should we attempt a Homer style hunger strike?
No way, I can't go 7 hours without shoving a handful of goldfish crackers in my pie hole let alone 7 days like Homer pulled off.
So what can we can do? Well it might be a long shot but we can click the following link and support the petition started by Hoosier Faithful.
Since I have started writing this post the petition has gained over 100 signatures and is closing in on 1000 signatures.
I know this will probably fall on ESPN's deaf ears but if nothing else it will make you feel better. So click the link and let your voice be heard America! Our viewing pleasure depends on it.

Duke's biggest dick move? You decidePosted: February 26, 2016 by jmklee in Uncategorized
Over the years Duke has given us a whole slew of players that just make you want go all Ralphie on them.
You know who I am talking about. The list is as long as the whiny coach's last name.
Cherokee Parks, Mike Dunleavy, Danny Ferry, Bobby Hurley, Greg Paulus, Chris Collins, Steve Wojcichowski, Christian Laettner, J.J. Redick.
I'm sure I missed a few but you get the point.
Well last night Grayson Allen proved he belongs on this long list of dicks when, for the second time this year, tripped another player intentionally.
So I have one question for you.
What is the biggest Duke player dick move?
One of these 7 teams will cut down the netsPosted: February 25, 2016 by jmklee in Uncategorized
We are finally heading into the last weekend of February and about to stare the best sports month of the year straight in the eyes.
As we inch closer to Selection Sunday you will hear every so called expert tell you who is what it takes to cut down the nets but year in and year out the best predictor of tournament success has been the KenPom ratings.
As of today there are 7 schools that meet the past criteria to be standing on the court when One Shining Moment is playing. Let's take a look.
KenPom Overall: 4
Offense: 7
Defense: 18
KenPom Overall: 8
Offense: 6
Defense: 42
Michigan State
KenPom Overall: 1
Offense: 4
Defense: 22
North Carolina
KenPom Overall: 6
Offense: 5
Defense: 32
KenPom Overall: 5
Offense: 14
Defense: 12
KenPom Overall: 2
Offense: 13
Defense: 5
KenPom Overall: 3
Offense: 11
Defense: 9
With that said there are a few teams that are on the rise and looking to get themselves into this group by years end. That list includes – Xavier, Duke, West Virginia, Iowa, Arizona, Miami Fl, and Indiana.
If your team is not on the list (Purdue), don't hate me, hate the numbers.
Jay Bruce trade updatePosted: February 23, 2016 by jmklee in Uncategorized
If any more Reds trades get pulled at the last second Cincy will have to put Lee Corso on the payroll. With players like Phillips and Bruce reporting to spring training knowing that the Reds are doing everything in their power to show them the door. It has to be a little awkward, right?
The only thing that keeps coming to mind is the old racist women from Blazing Saddles.
I wonder if the Reds baked a pie for Jay?
When we speak of Jay Bruce, speak well.Posted: February 22, 2016 by jmklee in Uncategorized
So all signs point towards the end of the Jay Bruce era in Cincy. I have not seen any player names yet of who will be heading to Cincinnati but all we Reds fans can hope for is they get something in return and this is not just a salary dump.
I think it is safe to say Jay never really lived up to the his minor league hype but for one night in September he was Mr. Clutch. So when we think of Jay Bruce let's not remember the strikeouts, but remember this clinching walk-off instead.

Religious/Faith Schools should be banned in the UK

|13,555 times
|Debate No:
Definition: Religious/Faith Schools- A compulsory education establishment run by a religious community or a religious establishment. Any school whose religious teachings are not monitored by the state (Ofsted).
Round One will be to accept the debate.
Whenever the two clauses of the definitions are in conflict, or describe two different groups we shall err in favour of the latter clause.
As my opponent has not stated a definition of religion I shall do so;
"the body of persons adhering to a particular set of beliefs and practices" from : http://dictionary.reference.com...
Also the BOP is firmly placed upon Pro. He must demonstrate clearly that all faiths schools in the UK ought to be abolished.
I look forward to his round of arguments.
I shall first give an overview of schools with 'religious character' (as defined by the department of education) with the UK.
As of January 2010:
•616 secondary schools with 'religious character' (18% of the total). Educating 565,120 pupils (17%).
•6216 primary schools (37%). Educating 1.206, 540 pupils (29%)
We can see from the following link (http://www.humanism.org.uk...) that criteria for different degrees of state schools vary. We can see that Religious Academies set up before 2010 by an independent sponsor receive 90% of their funding from central government. There is also no control over who that sponsor selects as governors of the schools, and that the National Curriculum needs to only be followed in Maths, English and Science. It is also shows that there is no control as to what religious education is taught to their pupils, as that is set by the governors, who are in turn appointed by the sponsor. It is also clear that discrimination in school admissions is allowed on the grounds of religion, and that staff can be tested for their religious beliefs before being hired.
My reasons for supporting the abolishment of schools with 'religious character' (AKA Faith schools) are as follows:
1)Freedom of choice. Many areas of the UK have more faith schools than secular schools, thus decreasing parents choice in where they send their children. The freedom of religion of children is also dismissed, as being labelled with the same religion as their parents, and being sent to a religious schools, means their opportunity to change religion is dramatically decreased.
2)Segregation. Admission policies which allow children to be rejected on the grounds of what religion their parents are (as children are too young to know what religion they want to be), means we have hundreds of thousands of children who spend their entire education segregated from the variety of viewpoints that exist in the nation.
3)Religious Education. In RE classes in non-religious schools it is compulsory to teach the beliefs of every religion equally, and with respect. In religious schools this is waived, and the school can teach whatever form of religious education they wish. The ignorance this can breed is dangerous for society.
4)PSHSE (personal social health and economic education) classes are also not monitored by the state, meaning a teaching of all options is not guaranteed. This means we can have thousands of children who are not taught about safe sex.
5)Religion is given an unjustified free ride when it comes to indoctrinating the young of our nation. I am against this. We would not stand by while a local Neo-Nazi set up a school, chose his own governors, then based admissions on skin colour. That is illegal. So why is it ok for religion to do the same?
6)The rights of children are overlooked. Children have a right to unbiased, equality fuelled education, where the emphasis is on knowledge collection. The right of a parent and community (school) to indoctrinate a child before they can think for themselves is put ahead of the right of a child to not be indoctrinated.
Only 7% of the UK worship in church, but 36% of schools are church run. This shows a disturbing trend of faking religion in order to attend local schools. http://www.channel4.com...
Some even feel religious schools are unfair on immigrants: http://www.guardian.co.uk...
This problem has been around for over 100 years now, with James Bevan noticing the danger of religious education in schools. Religious belief is not a vital part of education. There is also no evidence to support the view that religious schools do better when it comes to results. A study (http://www2.lse.ac.uk...) by Dr Steve Gibbons (London School of Economics), showed that children from the same social background going to different schools (one religious, one not) showed no differences in results. Essentially, the social class intake at religious schools does more to account for results. Religious belief is personal, and should be taught outside of a secular school environment. Therefore I support the banning of religious schools with the UK.
•Schools of Faith: Religious schools in a multicultural society (British Government Publication; commission for racial equality. 1990)
•Religious teaching in secondary schools: A problem of today. James Bevan.
•Images of life: Problems of religious belief and human relations in schools. P. Richardson.
1) Freedom of choice. Under my opponents definitions,all British private schools are included as faith schools. Many of these schools provide great freedom of religious choice, such as Sevenoaks school, which although it ostensibly is humanist, still allows great freedom of religious expression and respect for lack of religious expression. Half of the RS staff (RS being a non-compulsory subject there, unlike many grammar schools) are Atheists [Source - I went to the school in question]
2) Segregation.
Private schools do not discriminate entry on the basis of religion. Anyone with the wealth (and in public schools intelligence) to attend may.
3) RE. In most private schools RE is not even compulsory, and the standard syllabus (ie a wide and varied religious education) is taught when students choose to take it. I can vouch that in Sevenoaks school, the RE teachers also came from a wide and varied religious background. I had one universalist Christian, one Rabbi, one bog-standard Christian, a strong atheist, and one guy who we never found out what beliefs he had because he rarely ever turned up to our lessons.
4) Though it is not monitered by the state, private schools sex ed meets the government standard set for state schools. It is also inspected by independant private boards to assure a certain level of quality.
5)It would not be illegal for someone to set up their own school, with their own money, and select whomever they want as their pupils. What you are assuming they will teach is what might be illegal. Since you haven't shown that faith schools all teach the incitement of religious hatred (the law I'm assuming that your assuming they will break), this argument is not substantiated.
6) Regardless of education, children are all indoctrinated to different degrees by the state, parents and other third parties. The right to education is the right to be indoctrinated. You must show that the indoctrination provided by all faith schools is sufficiently abhorent that the schools need to be banned.
Counter arguments
1) Private schools typically provide a superior education than state schools. It would be harmful to society to shut them down.
2) The proposal is very exteme. Why ban, when we could just have school inspectors instead? They could eliminate cons objections to the system, whilst the schools could remain open and provide an education for many children.
3) Even if many are faking religious belief there is still enough religious belief to ,at minimum, warrent at least one school run by the church. If there is demand for one school they ought not to be banned outright.
I apologize again for not being as quick as my opponent. I look forward to his response.
Semantics aside this should be a good debate. He asked me to verify which illegality I was referring to when it came to the setting up of schools. It was Discrimination. It is illegal to bar entry on the grounds of race, but not on the grounds of religion. This is an immoral hypocrisy in modern society. He also said how private schools do not segregate, then said you can attend if you have wealth. Therefore proving segregation between wealth and no wealth. (I digress).
While I appreciate the personal experiences of my opponent in his schooling, personal experience does not constitute evidence. We can all see opportunity this creates to fabricate evidence. He said he went to a Humanist school, then acted as if their non-bias religious teachings was not to do with that fact. If he went to a Catholic school, then spoke of non-bias religious teachings, that would do more to support his view. As it stands my view is supported.
Thaddeus pointed out himself that some private schools do not even teach much RE. This again does nothing to support his view, my point that schools having the ability to pick and choose their own RE can have negative consequences, is not disproved here.
Let us clarify this, as my opponent seems to be trying to turn this debate into a private vs state school debate. I am not against private schools, as the money raised from fees may help build good facilities, buy equipment, and possibly employ better teachers. Should religion have an influence in all that? No, of course not. This is my whole argument. My opponent gives no reason as to why we should allow religion to influence schooling, but not allow racial prejudices to do the same.
I showed how, in religious state schools, the majority of the money is from the taxpayer, yet because of the irregularities in the law, the same people who are paying to build and fund the schools can be refused access on grounds of religion.
Let me turn to his counter arguments.
1) Where is my opponents evidence of this? He provides none. Again he ignores my religious schools definition and concentrates on private schools (many of which are secular). I would like him to return to the theme of schools of 'religious character'.
2) This is an interesting question. My response is that it should be illegal for schools to be founded on religious grounds because it is an hypocrisy to equality and openness in education. Why should they then be banned if they already exist? Because giving religious beliefs a free ride when it comes to what they are allowed to do is plain wrong. As I keep saying- if we cannot justify a school being founded on Neo-Nazi racial beliefs, then why do we think it is justifiable to to do it on religious beliefs?
3) Religious beliefs are just that, religious beliefs. Nothing to do with education. Why does the local church have more of a right to set up a school than the local KKK? Or the local logical positivists society? All schools should be run on ground of equality and the best way to do that is to remove religious influences and to have universal monitoring. Yes there are other influences (historical, wealth etc) that could also be removed, but that is for a different debate. "If there is demand for one school they ought to not be banned outright". There is a demand for National Socialism, but that is ignored. There is demand for racial segregation, but that is ignored. Demand does not create justification.
My opponent has shown my points respect in his attention to them, but he has not countered them.
He hasn't justified the lack of Freedom in Choice, Segregation in admissions and social groupings, Biased and unregulated RE, Religious influences in PSHSE, the Hypocrisy in allowing religion to do all of this but not other possible groups, and finally the Rights of Children to have an equality based education over the rights of parents to indoctrinate.
"I will be mainly arguing that as your definition includes all private schools, regardless of how secular ("any school whose religious teachings are not monitored by the state"), and that private schools provide decent social benefit.
Furthermore it is the legal perogative of private institutions to choose their clients. If I were to set up a school I would have the right to select which students attended whether I base my admissions on religion or academic merit. "Discrimination", that is the act of differentiating between two things is not illegal.
If I were to allow Badger to enter my school for Irish drunkards over interrogator, because he is not a mouth-breathing idiot, I have discriminated between the two. Likewise, if I hire a christian to teach RS because I have, using the autonomy gained as a private institution, decided that Christian theology is what I want to teach, it would be lawful and socially expedient. Similarly, it is the right of the parent to choose which private school to send them to. To suggest otherwise is to undermine our civil liberties.
The rights of a child in relation to their parent is the right to not be physically, mentally, or sexually abused (probably a few more)
Unless you would go further than Dawkins and claim that parents teaching religion to their child is child abuse [2], there is no right to not be indoctrinated.
And quite rightly so! It would be the one right violated consistently by all good parents, religious or not, as a good parent would be one who teaches their child moral standards, how to behave in society and other such qualities. Each can equally be called indoctrination. It is the parents right to bring up their child as they see fit, without abusing them.
Turning my attention now to the arguments that I apparently have only dropped;
Freedom of choice;
- There is a much greater level of choice in the private education system, due to the ability of anyone being able to set up a education institution, thus allowing a much wider variety of educational standards.
- Segregation
I concede the wealthy cannot attend private schools. I fail to see why this supports their abolitiion. Poor people cannot afford sports cars. It doesn't mean sports cars ought not exist. Aside from this the private school system does not support segregation.
- Hypocrisy
As long as no law is broken, any institution may setup a school (including the KKK! (though they would have to be very careful about the first clause)) and admit who they want.
In private schools the RE lessons, as with all subjects, are inspected by an independant board (http://en.wikipedia.org...(UK). I would also state that it is the right of the private institution to teach what it wants, within the law. It should not be banned because it does not conform with the state's version of the truth.
I would remind my opponent that these private schools exist in a pseudo free-market (pseudo because location is major inhibiter to choice, but not large enough to prevent market forces), and the most valued aspect of an education system is its ability to get a child into a good university. That is to say; to pass exams. Therefore if the children are not taught effectively, the schools value will diminish greatly, preventing it from existing. Thus, as long as the motivation of the market remains fixed on the output, the private education market is self regulating.
Counter arguments
1) You are quite right in that I have failed to provide sources. I apologize. This source shows that people attending private schools are four times more likely to get an A* in any given subject(http://en.wikipedia.org...(UK)).
2) In all fairness you have straw-manned my argument. My argument is not "Why should they be banned if they already exist?", but rather that banning them is extreme when regulation would, for someone with your beliefs, aleviate all concerns and continue to help provide the already over burdened education systems with more institutes for education.
3) You assert that religion has nothing to do with education without warrent. Many philosophers have always mantained that learning should not be seperated from spirituality. Furthermore you keep asserting that certain groups, such as religious ones, do not have the right to have their views aired in a private institution. This is without warrent. If there is demand, the private institution (as long as it abides by the law) is justified.
I have shown that not only has my opponent conceded the debate, but also that the banning of certain "faith schools" (private schools) even if they are overtly religious would be to destroy the freedom of speech which is highly valued in British society.
wolfhaines forfeited this round.
Indoctrination is the stating as fact that which may be challenged by more than one theory. Basically, a one-sided education is indoctrination, no matter what area of study. The most apparent is history, especially in the USA. My point in this debate, therefore, is to allow teaching to be taught by one religious group, to one religious group, in a multi-religious group society (and world), is wrong, and has negative consequences. Children are most the vulnerable to being brainwashed, and seeing as society does not allow racial views to be taught in schools, it should not then turn a blind eye to religious views.
Thaddeus- good response omnibaddass, I shall start on my response later today.
how would you define indoctrination? What about students who actually WANT to attend a religious school? you are taking away their rights.... there is a separation of church and state, however private, religious schools should be given the right to exist. What's next? Taking all kids out of church in fear that they will be "indoctrinated?" What about what students are taught in Public schools? there are sure to be flaws. You can't defend your point, without running into some serious ethical fallacies

|The FreaKKKKKKKKKK was in the house.
Everything went right for the Giants in Saturday's game against the Marlins. Everything.
Tim Lincecum played stopper, ace, and The Freak all at once. Seven shutout innings, 10 strikeouts, 2 walks, and only two hits (one of them an infield single). And again, just like his last start, he felt a lot better out of the stretch, so he threw 119 pitches and didn't look tired at all. And pitching coaches all over America cringed and told their sons that they can only do that after they've won two Cy Youngs.
Nate Schierholtz had a double. Just a regular double. But then Logan Morrison overthrew the cutoff man, and then somehow Schierholtz put wheels on his stomach and managed to crawl to third after sliding 10 feet in front of the base.
And then, in typical 2011 Giants fashion, Orlando Cabrera, with nobody out and a man on third, fouls out to the first baseman. And then, in typical 2010 Giants fashion, Javier Vazquez throws a pitch off of the ground, John Buck, and the home plate umpire, and Schierholtz scores.
Aubrey Huff flied out to left field. Except it was an RBI double because Morrison (who for some reason got sent down to AAA after the game) couldn't handle the ball on the foul line. By the way, Aubrey Huff is starting to square up a lot more baseballs. This can only bode well for the Giants.
Jeff Keppinger extended the Giants solo homerun streak. But who cares? Solo homeruns are still runs.
Jeremy Affeldt threw curveballs. The eighth inning was easy.
Brian Wilson gave up a hit, a walk, and had a couple strikeouts. Typical stuff.
Brandon Belt made it before game time and even got on camera a couple times. Baby steps!
It just seemed like everything went the right way for the Giants. The Marlins are free swingers. Lincecum was just wild enough to take advantage of that. When they needed a break, they got one. For once.
To quote Mike Krukow, "You'll get three runs and you'll like it."
Logan Morrison being sent down is interesting. Imagine Posey, Belt, and Morrison entering their late 20s together. The Giants aren't exactly the "swoop on grumbling prospects" types, but man, would that be fun to watch.
According to Marty Lurie, Johnny Damon clearing waivers is also interesting. The Giants need a leadoff man with Andres Torres going down. But Damon is old. Very old. I don't know how I feel about that. Waiver claims should be interesting this year, especially with the Giants starved for production/not having much roster wiggle room without releasing Rowand.
It's hard to see positives in this whole Carlos Beltran wrist injury, but looking ahead, if for SOME awful reason Beltran has to shut it down for a while, doesn't it seem logical that he'd want to come back in 2012? There's nothing worse than asking for a trade to a contender and then not helping them on their stretch run. Just ask Freddy Sanchez, who hit three doubles in the World Series against Cliff Lee. Something to keep an eye on.
Lastly, Barry Zito is hurt again. This bums me out.

More About Your Photographer
1. I was born July 29, 1969. Eh, hem....I'll let you figure out what birthday I have coming up next. ; )
2. I graduated high school in 1987. So yes, I was a child of the 80's. You know that song about Stretch Armstrong and parachute pants? Yeah, that's me! I remember Atari and Pacman, too!
3. Speaking of the 80's, I had big hair! I mean really big hair! If you were a child of the 80's you know you had big hair, too! Go ahead and admit it!
4. I'm the oldest of 3 and the only girl. I have 2 brothers: Seth is 33 and Ed is 23.
5. I'm lactose-intolerant. No dairy, no how. I haven't had ice cream in soooo long...but really, it makes me so sick, I don't even miss it. When I do cheat and eat something I shouldn't, those lactose pills help somewhat, but I just can't cheat too often.
6. I sing. Now I'm not one of those whose been singing in church since she was 2, (although I used to sing "You Light Up My Life" to my Lief Garrett and Shaun Cassidy posters...using my hairbrush as my microphone of course), I sang my first solo in church during a Youth Cantata. I was so scared and nervous, I called our Youth Pastor only minutes before the concert was to start crying and begging him to find someone else to take my place.
Thank goodness he gave me those words of encouragement I needed and forced me onto that stage, because since then I've sang hundreds of times: in my own church, for other churches and events, funerals, lots of weddings, and even the National Anthem for a few of our local football games.
7. A couple of my favorite movies are Forrest Gump and Dances with Wolves. I've lost count on how many times of seem them both. I don't think I'll ever get tired of seeing either of them!
8. You may have read that I'm a cancer survivor, but I thought I'd go into a little more about it now. In 1999, I was diagnosed with colon cancer. My kids were 5 and 3 and let me tell ya, my world was rocked. Something a 29 year old young wife and mother would never expect to hear. I had surgery to remove the tumor and then had 6 months of chemotherapy finishing my last treatment the week before my 30th birthday. 10 years later (this January), I'm hoping I can confidently believe that I'm healed. God did a tremendous work in my life, as well as others around me and for that I am grateful.
That's all I can think of right now. I did cry for 2 days when Warrick died on CSI. I'm tearful thinking about it; I still can't believe he's gone. A few of my fav TV shows: CSI without a doubt (except the NY one; not crazy about that one), NCIS, and a new fav is Criminal Minds. My all time favorite is The Closer. I so want to be Brenda Lee Johnson. You'd think that because I'm also a nurse I'd prefer those medical shows, but I don't care for many of them--it's the police drama, crime-solving, murder mysteries that I like best. : )
You can read more boring stuff about me here and other frequently asked questions about my business here.
Here's a picture from that Youth Cantata. (I was cheesy back then too with those crazy stickers!)
This was taken shortly after Clark and I started dating....in 1987.

I am a 44 year old female who was diagnosed with scoliosis at the age of 11. I wore a Milwaukee brace full-time for 4 years. My curves were arrested at 45 degrees thoracic and 35 lumbar. The thoracic curve is structural and the lumbar curve is compensatory. I have started to develop continuous back pains aggravated upon sitting or standing and relieved by walking. I saw Dr. Richard Hostin, Plano, Texas, and he recommended surgery.
Has any here had surgery performed by Dr. Hostin? I would greatly appreciate it if you could give me some information about it, including the date(s) and your results and experiences after the surgery.
Many thanks in advance,

Balsamiq Mockups 3
New public beta for the popular prototyping tool
#1 Product of the DayFebruary 07, 2015
MakersThere are no makers yet
You need to become a Contributor to join the discussion - Find out how.
Ria Blagburn@riaface · Founder, GrowBeyond
Balsamiq is by far the best wireframing tool I've ever used. Excited to have a play with this update!
Ry Walker@rywalker · CEO, Astronomer
I used Balsamiq a lot back in the day. Lately I use physical paper + Keynote for rough wireframing, and Sketch for more detailed stuff — also I'm using Polymer w/ Paper Elements in apps now, which has a designer that lets me lay out controls. Just downloaded this beta and played with it — don't think it can find a role in my toolbox.
Jeff Solomon@sollytweet · Founder @Velocify @Amplify @Aftyco
Balsemiq was the best but they massively dropped the ball in keeping up with market needs. I have been pretty disappointed for the past several years. I'm stoked to see a new version but the fact that the website is still dogshit and not mobile optimized doesn't have me feeling too confident the new version is much improved. They seem to be living in 2004.
Eric WillisHunter@erictwillis · Working on something new
The most noticeable changes are support for projects (bundled files, multiple windows) and getting rid of the property inspector.
Dan Kaplan@dankaplan · I craft stories that break through.
I regularly use Balsamiq for flowing the web copy I write for clients into wireframes. A couple years ago, I switched to Keynote for lightweight mockups, but with the latest, frustrating updates to iWork, I ran right back to Balsamiq. It's a tool that does what it does simply and well. Love it.

Even with its soft opening, Glazed the Donut Café generated almost as much excitement as one might expect for the debut of In-and-Out Burger. Part of the excitement stemmed from the constant delays: Glazed was originally slated to start serving on June 6th, National Donut Day, but construction and health inspection timing issues pushed the grand opening to more than a month later. Also fueling the fire was the Glazed's Facebook page, updated almost daily with new food pornography showcasing chefs experimentations with different topping combinations.
Although Glazed is not the first Houston establishment to offer donuts 24-7 (several Shipley's locations do as well) what sets Glazed apart is it unusual flavor selection, locally sourced ingredients, and, most importantly, friendly, well-lit dining space that lends itself to chowing down on ringed confections while surfing the web at 3am. The narrow strip mall shop features multiple hightops along the side as well as red "floating" ceilings, i.e. scarlet panels suspended above, which in combination with the pristine white interior, give the café almost a modern art museum feel. An open kitchen allows for true transparency (pun intended) in the decorating process, for customers are free to watch as employees hand dip and sprinkle every last one of Glaze's confection.
Donuts are categorized either as "classic" ($.99), "specialty" ($1.49), and "gourmet" ($1.99), and in the nascent stage of the Café's development, a few flavors of each are available at any given time. I never thought I'd pay more than $2 for a doughnut unless said donut was 1) sold in London or New York 2) covered in gold flakes and caviar, but the maple bacon, already a crowd favorite, is well worth it. Its rich syrupy frosting and salty bits of pork fat combine everything that is sweet and savory and wonderful about breakfast. Of the specialty donuts, I also very much enjoyed the dainty piquant lemon poppy seed, though a bit more frosting might be added to counteract the resulting icing loss that inevitable ensues in the bagging process. With its incredibly light doughy base and sweet but not saccharine sheen of vanilla, the classic "plain" glazed donut will make your eyes roll back in your head. So, maybe don't try it for the first time while driving.
Other rotating flavors include the orange spice and mocha, which when paired with a cup of the Café's espresso drinks, I imagine, would really get you going in the morning. And given its location in the medical corridor, that's very desirable for the hard-working hospital folk nearby. On a recent visit, part-owner Omonele Nwokolo, who moonlights as an anesthesiologist, stopped by each and every table individually to see how customers were faring. Her warm smile and pleasant demeanor made the atmosphere so inviting, I felt no hesitation in requesting two new flavors to add to the line-up. (Not that Glazed needs any help with creativity.)
One final note: At press time, customers were limited to buying six donuts—nowhere, though, was it written you couldn't come back multiple times a day.

Certificate: PG
Length: 125 min
Director: Joe Wright
Cast: Gary Oldman, Kristin Scott Thomas, Lily James, Ben Mendelsohn,
Within days of becoming Prime Minister of Great Britain, Winston Churchill must face one of his most turbulent and defining trials: exploring a negotiated peace treaty with Nazi Germany, or standing firm to fight for the ideals, liberty and freedom of a nation. As the unstoppable Nazi forces roll across Western Europe and the threat of invasion is imminent, and with an unprepared public, a sceptical King, and his own party plotting against him, Churchill must withstand his darkest hour, rally a nation, and attempt to change the course of world history.
"This isn't an uncritical celebration of British bulldog spirit but a nuanced portrait of Churchill at a key point early in the war." – The Independent
"Grappling with Churchill's inner humanity and steely resolve, Oldman has offered a portrayal for the ages." – China Morning Post

Lamb stew
This is a good recipe for a basic stew. You're going to love it because it's so simple and gives consistently good results.
Vegetable jalfrezi
The great thing about this curry is the slightly sweet and sour flavour from the peppers.
Lamb stew kinda hot-pot
I like making a kind of hot-pot topping for a basic lamb stew by layering up potatoes. They go lovely and crispy and delicious.
Lamb stew with a mash topping
Turn your stew into a posh and meaty kinda shepherd's pie by adding a lovely topping of mashed potato.
Lamb stew with a pastry lid
Once you've made your basic lamb stew, you can turn it into a delicious pie by adding a pastry lid.
Lamb stew with lovely dumplings
Dumplings are one of those things that should be on everyone's radar come winter time. They're so comforting and really easy to make – give them a try.

Mired in a 3-19 swoon — the worst 22-game stretch in franchise history — the Tampa Bay Rays travel to Boston for one last series before the All-Star Break.
The previous series against the Los Angeles Angels exemplified a simple fact: the Rays are not playing good baseball. For example, let's take a look at Tim Beckham and Steven Souza Jr. — the dynamic duo who struck out six times in the series finale. Of the two Beckham was the most impressive/pathetic, as he saw just 10 pitches in his three at-bats. Then there was Hank Conger and Brad Miller, whose confusion on a double steal led to a run. Blake Snell, the starter in Thursday's contest, deserved better. Hell, we all deserve better.
For the moment, let's forget about terms like contention and postseason play. Sure, mathematically speaking, the Rays aren't yet out of contention. However, they'll have to play .750 baseball from this point forward if there's any hope of magically getting back into things. To that point, Tom Jones (Tampa Bay Times) put it best:
We're in too deep to think that somehow everything will magically turn around in the second half. Nothing that has happened in the first half suggests the Rays are better than what they have shown.
Rather, the organization needs to focus on evaluating the team then changing things to stop the bleeding. In short, figure out what the problems are and make the appropriate changes. Nationals' franchise player Bryce Harper succinctly put it, Make baseball fun again — something the Rays have been strapped to do this season.
The Rays will kickoff their Make Baseball Fun Again campaign Friday against the Red Sox — a team they've played competitively against this season. Kevin Cash will throw Chris Archer (4-11, 4.50 ERA), Matt Moore (5-5, 4.54 ERA), and Jake Odorizzi (3-4, 4.33 ERA) over the next three days. John Farrell will counter with Sean O'Sullivan (2-0, 6.61 ERA), Rick Porcello (10-2, 3.82 ERA), and David Price (8-6, 4.64 ERA).
Rays Series Starters
Archer struck out 10 over 5-2/3 scoreless innings on Sunday in a loss against the Tigers. He allowed just three hits while walking three. The righty left the game with a one-run lead, yet the Rays' bullpen coughed up five runs over the final two innings. And while Archer wasn't terribly efficient (115 pitches, starting eight batters with first-pitch strikes), he was able to generate 18 swinging strikes along the way.
Moore allowed two earned runs on six hits and two walks over 6-2/3 innings on Monday. The 27-year-old lefty followed up his seven-inning shutout of Boston with another solid outing. Moore fired 74 of his 113 pitches for strikes (65% K%), and collected 20 (of 30) first-pitch strikes.
Odorizzi was tagged for a season-high seven runs on nine hits, while walking two and fanning four over 5-1/3 innings on Tuesday. The right-hander's inconsistency has left the team reeling. Odorizzi sported a fine 3.36 ERA through April and May, but has a 4.96 ERA from then on.
Red Sox Series Starters
O'Sullivan is a journeyman hurler who most recently spent time in the Phillies organization. The 28 year-old righty came up big for Boston in his last start, holding the Angels to two runs over five innings a game after the Red Sox lost, 21-2. O'Sullivan relies primarily on an average 92 mph four-seam fastball, and an 83 mph slider which induces a fair number of fly balls. He also boasts a 90 mph sinker that generates a good number of grounders, and a 74 mph curveball with good bite. Key matchup: Evan Longoria (1-2, 2B, RBI, BB)
Porcello allowed four runs (three earned, all in the first inning) in Monday's 12-5 win over Texas. He gave up 12 hits while fanning three with no walks in six innings. Boston has been put under a lot of pressure recently due to the pitching staff that's given up a ton of first-inning runs, however, the offense bailed out Porcello, giving him 16 hits and 12 runs of support. The righty settled in, holding Texas scoreless on seven hits over his final five innings to earn the win. Procello held the Rays to one run on five hits over six innings on June 28. Key matchups: Oswaldo Arcia (3-8, 2B, HR, 2 RBI, 2 BB), Corey Dickerson (2-7, 2B, HR, RBI), Logan Forsythe (6-17, 3B, BB), Brad Miller (2-8, 2 HR, 2 RBI, BB), Logan Morrison (4-13, 2B, RBI), Steven Souza Jr. (6-15)
Price threw eight innings in a loss on Tuesday, allowing three runs on eight hits and one walk while striking out 10. This was actually one of Price's better outings in recent weeks, and he notched double-digit strikeouts in consecutive games for the first time this season. It was a marked improvement from two starts ago when he was yanked after just 2-1/3 innings. He is 0-1 with a 10.80 ERA in two starts against his former team this year (10 innings pitched). Key matchups: Curt Casali (2B, 3 HR, 5 RBI), Hank Conger (1-3, RBI), Logan Forsythe (4-14, 2B, RBI), Nick Franklin (2-7, 2B, RBI), Brandon Guyer (4-13, 2B, 3B, HR, 3 RBI), Steven Souza Jr. (2-8, 2B, RBI)
— Kevin Kiermaier (left hand fracture) is scheduled to begin a Minor League rehab stint Monday with Class-A Charlotte Stone Crabs.
— Steve Pearce (hamstring) hit in the batting cage and is scheduled to take batting practice on the field Friday.
— True Talk.
My beloved Tampa Bay Rays, let's #MakeBaseballFunAgain, starting now.
— X-Rays Spex (@XRaysSpex) July 8, 2016
— Hope to see you Friday at Green Bench Brewing Company when we host our next watch party (co-hosted by SubAp and Baseball Forever).

Every Fashion Girl Should Know These 15 Names
Every year, we look to street style to inform and inspire us. The pieces worn during fashion week by industry trendsetters can be the catalyst for new styling tricks or even the next It bag. Now that a new year is almost upon us, we're looking back at the iconic style stars that continue to inspire us.
So which women stand out from the well-heeled crowd? From the best dressed celebs to the industry veterans who are still changing the game, consider this a list of some of the fashion industry's biggest trendsetters. Below you'll find a breakdown of the women who earned the top spot in a host of categories—from who reps their city best to the up-and-coming names you need to know. Rest assured there was plenty to be impressed about from this chic bunch.
Read on to see the trendsetting women to know and prepare to be inspired!
Street Style Star of the Year:
Yasmin Sewell
Celebrity Street Style Star of the Year:
Rosie Huntington-Whiteley
Splash News
There's no denying it: Rosie Huntington-Whiteley has impeccable style. The model and actress has a way of taking something as simple as jeans and a T-shirt and making it feel polished. Whether she's hitting the gym or the red carpet, Rosie always offers a lesson in relaxed elegance.
The Risk-Taker:
Jan Quammie
Jan Quammie is seriously talented at mixing and matching the unexpected. The editorial director of Material Magazine and former stylist at MyTheresa.com is just as likely to be wearing Céline as she is to be in something cool and vintage. Bottom line: She's one to watch.
Best Fashion Week Game:
Margaret Zhang
Christian Vierig/Getty Images
One thing we can always count on from Margaret Zhang? Some seriously genius layering. The multitalented founder of Shine by Three has nailed dramatic dressing. Whether it be with some serious sleeves or major volume, her looks are anything but ordinary.
Best Accessories:
Kate Foley
Christian Vierig/Getty Images
We've spent a lot of time practically drooling over the looks of stylist, consultant, and Vestiaire Collective's Contributing Fashion Director, Kate Foley. She nails the accessory game—regularly carrying the latest It pieces from buzzy brands like Loewe, Chloé, and J.W.Anderson. Plus, we give her major kudos for her ability to wear Valentino heels just as easily as Vans. Now that's talent.
Aimee Song
Christian Vierig/Getty Images
With over 4.7 million Instagram followers, there's no avoiding the star power of fashion blogger Aimee Song. She's mastered her angles, knows the art of the outfit lay-down, and is constantly brightening up our feed with her lust-worthy accessories and fashionable duds.
Best Street Style Couple:
Giotto Calendoli and Patricia Manfield
On her own, street style star Patricia Manfield is inspiring enough, but with partner Giotto Calendoli by her side, they achieve the highest level of stylish couple goals. If that's not enough, the Milan-based duo also collaborates on their site The Atelier. Now that's a serious power couple.
Best Editor Style:
Christine Centenera
Uniform dressing has never been as chic as it is on Christine Centenera. The fashion director at Vogue Australia sticks to a signature look: lots of black and plenty of edgy, yet classic pieces. Her styling always feels fresh—and if her vibe looks familiar, it's because she's also Kim Kardashian West's stylist.
Owns New York:
Eva Chen
Christian Vierig/Getty Images
If you've ever looked up the Instagram hashtag #EvaChenPose, you've seen over 10,000 attempts at re-creating the back-of-the-taxi shot perfected by Eva Chen—Instagram's head of fashion partnerships. Pretty impressive. But even more impressive is the range of looks she has worn in the last year alone. She's nailed the art of New York dressing—perfectly pairing practical pieces (hello, sneakers) with fashion-forward ones.
Owns Los Angeles:
Nicole Richie
Stefanie Keenan/Getty Images
When we think of L.A. style, it's hard to come up with anyone who embodies the laid-back yet sophisticated look better than Nicole Richie does. For her, it's about taking those basics L.A. girls love and elevating them. Oh, and rest assured she'll always have a great pair of sunnies on hand too since the sunny weather is year-round in SoCal.
Owns London:
Suki Waterhouse
Raymond Hall/Getty Images
She may be constantly jet-setting between L.A., New York, and London, but Suki Waterhouse is a Brit through and through. Her signature look is both bohemian and sophisticated—a playful combination Waterhouse and the rest of the British style set pull off so well. No matter what side of the pond she's on, she nails the London look.
Owns Milan:
Giorgia Tordini
Style du Monde
This year, there was one brand that had every street style star buzzing: Attico. Not surprisingly, the silky line was the brainchild of two of the industry's greatest—Milan-based Giorgia Tordini and her friend Gilda Ambrosio. Their launch alone earned plenty of buzz to keep her busy. When Giorgia isn't designing the next It pieces, the street style star is out mastering the aesthetic that's decidedly Italiano.
Owns Paris:
Jeanne Damas
If we had to choose one word to describe Jeanne Damas's look, it would be "effortless." The French trendsetter makes pulling off the Parisian je ne sais quois look so easy. With effortless styling and her signature red lip, Damas proves time and time again that there's no city quite as stylish as Paris.
Best Photographer:
Acielle of Style du Monde
Capturing the perfect street style shot is no easy feat, but head to Acielle's photography site, Style du Monde, and you'll find it bursting with colorful shots of the industry's biggest trendsetters. While she's shot for her own site since 2008, Acielle also works as a contributor at Vogue and The New York Times. Her photos have been featured in just about every major publication. Truly impressive.
Rising Star:
Anaa Saber
Anaa Saber caught our eye with her cool blend of streetwear and designer pieces. And as a favorite among our readers as well, she is clearly one to watch.

Here in Houston, heating systems have to contend with more than just unfriendly temperatures. Dust, bacteria, mold and other contaminants can get into your home through numerous means, lowering the quality of the air and exacerbating allergies among sensitive family members. Specifics vary according to your particular household, but your HVAC system can play a key role in solving the problem regardless.
Here are 3 upgrades that improve indoor air quality:
- Air Cleaners. Your heating and air conditioning system already comes with an air filter that can be cleaned or replaced whenever it gets dirty. To this, you can add a formal air filtration system that scrubs the air exiting your central system before it moves into the ducts. It's fairly easy for a professional to install, and because it's located next to the central unit, you can be sure it will filter all of the air moving through the system
- UV lights. UV lights are specifically designed to kill germs, bacteria and similar types of contaminant. They make an excellent addition to any household with particularly sensitive family members, though the UV light bulbs will need to be periodical exchanged before they burn out in order for the system to work the way they're supposed to.
- Dehumidifiers. Dehumidifiers help dry out the air, increasing comfort levels while helping to eliminate mold and bacteria where they grow. This is of particular importance in cities like Houston, which experience a great deal of humidity over the year, and can encourage unhealthy biological growth in hidden areas of your home.
You can contact a qualified HVAC specialist to install upgrades that improve indoor air quality, but you want to make sure that the specialist has the experience and knowledge to do the job right. In Houston, heating systems can be handled by Houston heating system technicians at Texas Central Air. We have years of experience with upgrades to your system, and we understand that high indoor air quality is just as important to your comfort as the right temperature. Give us a call today to set up an appointment. We'll discuss your options with you before installing the perfect package for your home.
