Match Report
Posted Sun 29 Dec 13 at 17:12 PM
The Report: Blackburn Rovers 2 Blues 3
Blues extended their unbeaten run to nine matches following a superb team effort at Ewood Park to claim the final three points of 2013. Blues found themselves 3-0 up at the break but had to fight to the bitter end to claim victory after Blackburn staged a second-half fightback.
The hosts started the match with urgency and were arguably the better side in the opening ten minutes - Ruben Rochina pulling an effort wide after finding space in the box after five minutes. Blues quickly got into the game and after 12 minutes found themselves in front - After good work from Andrew Shinnie to win a corner, Olly Lee's delivery was initially cleared, but with the second attempt he whipped the ball into the Rovers' area and found the head of Dan Burn who flicked onto Kyle Bartley who again found Burn before the ball fell to Lee Novak, who fired in from 12 yards.
Blackburn came at Blues after conceding but not long after found themselves 2-0 down; Novak doubling his tally and Blues lead with a 35 yard piledriver which left Simon Eastwood in the Rovers' goal helpless.
Rovers' again reacted as they had when conceding the opening goal. They came out and dominated possession, but with no real intent or penetration. The host's top-scorer Jordan Rhodes saw his shot canon off the post and out for a Blues goal-kick and Blues 'keeper Darren Randolph had no real saves to make other than tame, long range efforts.
Following a long Darren Randolph punt upfield - confusion and miscommunication caused havoc in the Rovers' defence. Pressure from Novak caused Hanley to play it back to 'keeper Eastwood who cleared straight to Burke on the edge of the Rovers' area who reacted and slid the ball into the corner of the net.
Having changed it around at the break,
Blackburn started the second half as they had started the first - dominant in possession and and playing with the urgency they needed to to get back into the match.
Blues looked to play on the break and absorb the pressure Blackburn threw at them. The tactic almost paid off twice and Blues should have extended their lead further - firstly through Novak, whose cross shot couldn't find Nikola Zigic or the net and secondly through Shinnie who found himself on the end of a superb break from Bartley and Burke only to be thwarted by Eastwood.
On the 66th minute Blackburn's
finally broke the Blues defence for the first time in four matches - Jordan Rhodes nodding in a Ben Marshall cross inside the six-yard box. Rhodes goal lifted the whole atmosphere and the crowd woke up and with that the hosts gained momentum and on the 73rd minute Rhodes halved the deficit after getting the wrong side of Bartley and looping the ball over the advancing Randolph.
Rhodes had a chance to level the scores seven minutes from time but was denied by Randolph who was quick off his line to smother the ball at the Scotsman's feet. With Rhodes looking ever threatening it seemed the equaliser was inevitable.
With Blues having playing with backs to the wall for the majority of the match, the players were
running on empty - Peter Lovenkrands and Shane Ferguson were introduced to add some fresh legs.
Into four minutes of injury time, Blues were living dangerously. in the 92nd minute Scott Dann had the opportunity to level against his former club but couldn't sort his feet out in the six-yard box and the chance went begging and with seconds remaining Paul Caddis cleared a header off the line.
Blues showed great character and tenacity to hold on for victory and extend their unbeaten run going into the new year and recorded their fourth away win in five.

After "Grand Theft" revs up, how much in its tank?
By David Ward
SAN DIEGO (Hollywood Reporter) - While there's little doubt about the power of this week's launch of "Grand Theft Auto IV," there is some question about the video game's legs.
The latest chapter in the wildly popular and controversial criminal action franchise will likely smash the $300 million global first-week sales figure for Microsoft's "Halo 3" in September, but how the game will fare by year's end is subject to debate.
"I think all the preorder programs now in place for these top titles really end up taking the long-term sales out of many games," said Michael Goodman, director of digital entertainment at Yankee Group. "So I don't think 'Grand Theft Auto IV' is going to have those kind of legs."
Many stores are opening up at midnight Monday to accommodate eager customers.
Take-Two Interactive Software Inc, parent company of developer Rockstar Games, even suggested that worldwide actual game sales could reach 6 million, generating $400 million for the publisher as it battles a hostile takeover attempt from rival Electronic Arts.
"Halo 3," for example, exhausted 67% of its total U.S. sales-to-date in its first month, and though NPD games analyst Anita Frazier said the game still is selling 100,000 copies a month, it no longer is in the tracking firm's top 10 monthly charts.
But David Cole, president of market research firm DFC Intelligence, stressed that "Grand Theft Auto IV" always has been a different type of franchise. "If you look at 'Halo' titles historically, they've always been the type of games that everybody rushed out to buy, but the 'Auto' titles have always had lots of legs," he said.
Because "Grand Theft Auto" depicts carjacking, murder and other questionable content that has upset parents, Cole noted many people forget that the games are very accessible and have real mass-market appeal, despite their M (for Mature) rating. Continued...

About the Author:I am an author, publisher and a social scientist. My academic specialism is gender and sexual politics and identity, so you can expect this to crop up now and then in my writing too! Not in an "in your face" kind of way - subtlety wins hearts and minds. I write character-based/driven fiction - mostly general/contemporary, some (M/M, F/M, NB) romance and a bit of sci-fi fantasy (light). Basically, I write about life. I've written a few stand alone novels and short stories, but my main work is... Read More
Detailed Information:Haunted by the abuse of his now missing father, seventeen year old Sammy stumbles upon the seedy world of drug addiction and prostitution of London's West End in the 1980s. Cold, desperate and exhausted, he takes shelter in a trash-filled alley behind a strip club, unaware that what is about to unfold will change the course of his life.
Set during a period of significant social and cultural change in the early 1980's, Champagne opens up a world of seedy revue bars, prostitution, abuse, drug addiction and the devastating effect of AIDS. Centred around the events of a declining revue bar and its regeneration, a young man comes of age and finds his first love whilst looking for his estranged, abusive father. Through dark humour and strong characterisation the book is not only eye opening but also manages to capture a truly unique time in popular culture.

Once again, the Pentagon has sounded the bells of terror by issuing a report concerning the growing strength of China's armed forces. We can rest assured that if all conflict ended tomorrow in the Middle East, the Pentagon would be marshaling evidence of a "Chinese threat" which will unloose terrorists at each and every Chinese take-out restaurant. After all, no one checks what those Chinese put in the rice, do they? Pentagon sources are concerned about China building ballistic missiles that could fire 1,500 miles into the Pacific and hit an American aircraft carrier. OK, so they can sink an aircraft carrier, does that mean they will?? The US military budget is close to $800 billion while the Chinese is close to $200 billion. In other words, the US spends four times as much on its military, but according to the Pentagon, the nation which spends a fraction of our military budget is a threat to US security. The report argued China was developing the capability of invading Taiwan. Of course, at present, the Chinese government has excellent trade relations with Taiwan, Chinese businessmen invest money on that island and tourists go back and forth. So, why would China initiate a war?
American hubris is once again in action. We spend more money than all the world's military budgets put together, but if a nation increases their military budget, we shout and declaim about a new "threat." China is not a threat to the US, hell, its trade is too great to destroy in the name of war.

- 29. SIR JOHN DE MOWBRY, KNT, 2nd Lord Mowbray, said to have been born 4 Sept. 1286, d. York, 23 Mar. 1321/2; m. Swansea, 1298, Aline (Aliva) de Braose, d. by 20 July 1331, dau. and coh. of William de Braose (Lord Braose/Brewes), lord of Gower in Wales and Bramber in Sussex; she m. (2) Sir Robert de Peshale, liv. Nov. 1342. (CP IX: 277-280; Sanders, 146-147; DNB).
- ______________________________
- William de Braose, (sometimes William de Briouze, William de Breuse, William de Brewes or William de Brewose; c. 1260–1326) was the second Baron Braose, as well as Lord of Gower and Lord of Bramber. He was held as a hostage after being captured in 1264 during the Second Barons' War and records of some of his childhood expenses survive from his time as a hostage. He first entered royal service in 1286 and, in 1291, he succeeded his father as baron. He continued in royal military service, serving in Scotland as well as in Wales. Protracted disputes over his lands embroiled him throughout his life and at the end of his life helped spark a revolt against King Edward II of England's favourites, the Despensers. He married twice, and his heirs were his daughter Aline and his grandson John de Bohun. ....
- Braose was the son of William de Braose, 1st Baron Braose and his first wife, Aline, daughter of Thomas de Multon.[1] He was likely born around 1260, as his age was given as about 46 in 1307. Other events prove that he was born prior to 1264, as he was captured in that year. This came about during the Second Barons' War (1264–1267) during the reign of King Henry III of England, as the elder Braose had sided with the king during Simon de Montfort's rebellion. The younger Braose was a hostage in the custody of Montfort's wife, Eleanor. Her household accounts include expenses related to the younger William's care.[2] .... etc.
- The name of Braose's first wife was Agnes,[16] but her family is not known. His second wife was Elizabeth, the daughter and heiress of Raymund de Sully. He had two daughters with his first wife, but no children with his second wife, who outlived him.[1] It appears that there was a son named William, who was the subject of a military summons from King Edward in 1311, but nothing further is mentioned of him after 1315. In 1316 a settlement of William the father's estates made no mention of this son making it likely that the son died before this date.[17]
- Braose died not long before 1 May 1326[1] and his heirs were his daughter Aline and his grandson John de Bohun.[18] Aline, the elder daughter,[13] married John de Mowbray and Richard de Peschale. The second daughter, Joan, married James de Bohun and Richard Foliot. Mowbray received the lands of Gower and Bramber before Braose's death.[1]
- Braose was known as a man often in debt and as being unable to manage his cash flow well.[17] Thomas Walsingham stated in his chronicle that Braose was "very rich by descent but a dissipater of the property left to him".[19]

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 2/11/2012 (1693 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Though a casino site for Brandon had not yet been officially chosen, the Tribal Councils Investment Group had already signed a conditional agreement to lease a plot of land near the Trans-Canada Highway, owned by a consortium of three Westman First Nations.
The same First Nation consortium — including Keeseekoowenin, Rolling River and Waywayseecappo — that lost the right to host Manitoba's third aboriginal casino more than two years ago.
"We had an agreement signed (for) a sizable piece of land," TCIG CEO Allan McLeod told the Sun this week. "We had the land portion of our business plan taken care of for sure. That's where the business plan was pointing as the right location."
Earlier this year, the City of Brandon and TCIG had partnered to explore the financial case for a casino development, after First Nation consortium members publicly called upon the Assembly of Manitoba Chiefs to reconsider their bid for a casino development on the outskirts of the city in the RM of Elton near the Trans-Canada Highway.
The new partners had made overtures to the AMC in the hopes that the assembly would consider supporting a Brandon casino. Where a potential casino development would go, however, was to be decided in consultation with an outside third party that would base its recommendation purely on a business case.
When reached on Friday afternoon, Brandon city manager Scott Hildebrand said TCIG had made a memorandum of understanding agreement with the consortium on its own, as a way to keep all of their options open in the event the site was seen as the right location.
"It didn't bind us by any means and I think that's the difference," Hildebrand said. "Because we still needed to do the proper evaluation of what the best place would be."
As well, both Hildebrand and McLeod suggested that while the business plan was incomplete, in that they needed AMC to be on board, they had essentially secured the necessary financial backing to move forward with a casino development following a visit from investment bankers who toured the city in August, if they been given the green light to go ahead.
Nevertheless, any business plan would still have to have been approved by Brandon City Council first.
"There's one important thing that wasn't in place, which is part of the commitment to council that once this exploration and business opportunity was put together, we would have to go back to council and make sure we brought them up to speed," Hildebrand said.
"Without the blessing of council, none of this would happen. That's an important part of the story. They speak for the residents of Brandon and we needed to take that back to them."
However, even as TCIG and the city neared completion of their business plan, the AMC appeared to have already made its choice when Grand Chief Derek Nepinak announced on Thursday that Hemisphere Gaming Inc. had signed a 10-year agreement to develop and manage the much-delayed Spirit Sands Casino project near Carberry.
That decision has not deterred TCIG or the City of Brandon, however.
McLeod says he remains very hopeful that the business plan they are putting together will entice the provincial government and the AMC to stay at the negotiating table.
"I think there's been groups in the past that have pursued quasi-gaming licences, when you look at the Assiniboia Downs and revenue sharing to make MTS Centre happen," McLeod said.
"When there's a will there's a way. And there have been precedents in the past for allowing gaming opportunities that make sense.
"I'm optimistic, but that's a piece of the puzzle that I have no control over."
That sentiment was echoed by Hildebrand, who said he still wants the provincial government to look at their business plan.
"I think Brandon is the right location," Hildebrand said. "I would go and see what our options are, try to work with the provincial government, and even try to work with the tribal council for sure.
"The last thing I would do right now is fold my tent up because I think there's still a great opportunity for Brandon."

Are you looking for the best guide on the internet to PCP car finance and how it works? Are you unsure about all the jargon that car dealers use and what the real implications are for your finances? Well, we've comprehensively overhauled The Car Expert's guide to how a Personal Contract Purchase works.
This article has been the most popular piece at The Car Expert for the last three years, so we decided it was about time to give our guide to the PCP a thorough overhaul and update. It will help you understand everything there is to know, but if there's anything you're not sure of by the end, ask us a question in the comments below.
The PCP (personal contract purchase or personal contract plan) is the most popular car finance product on the market in the UK for both new and used cars, and it is heavily pushed by virtually every manufacturer and car dealership. But how does it work and what should you be looking out for?
The Car Expert has previously looked at different types of car finance available, but it is clear that many people are still unclear about the PCP, despite the number of people who use them for financing their car purchase. In fact, research from 2015 suggested that a staggering 88% of men and 75% of women surveyed could not explain what a PCP was. The good news is that if you fall into that category, you're certainly not alone! If you want to brush up on your car finance jargon, we have produced a most excellent glossary:
At most dealerships, the PCP is usually offered by the manufacturer's own finance company. The offers tend to be much better on new cars than on used cars, as the manufacturer is more interested in selling you a new car rather than one they built a few years ago. There are some other lenders who offer PCPs as well, although they are not normally competitive with manufacturer finance on new cars.
What is a Personal Contract Purchase?
Often incorrectly referred to as a personal contract plan (rather than purchase), PCP is a form of car finance based on a Hire Purchase (HP) agreement. However, instead of paying off the entire value of the car in equal monthly instalments like an HP, you are effectively only paying off the depreciation via your monthly instalments on a PCP. At the end of the term, you still have a large amount amount outstanding (often known as the balloon). You have several options as to how to deal with this final amount, depending on whether or not you want to keep your car or change it.
In comparing a PCP and HP, you are usually borrowing the same amount of money and paying a similar amount of interest (usually slightly more on a PCP due to how the repayments are worked out). The fees are usually about the same for both a PCP and HP as well.
What is the attraction of a PCP?
If you compare financing the same car on a PCP against an HP, the big difference is that you are paying off a much smaller amount of money via your monthly repayments. This means you can have a much lower monthly payment and/or a lower initial deposit and/or a shorter repayment term.
Most people tend to change their cars about every three years. Most buyers financing a car have a reasonably small deposit. For this sort of situation, a PCP will give a much lower monthly payment than an HP, with the caveat that at the end of the agreement you will have to take action of some sort to settle the outstanding balance. This means that on a PCP, the same car will cost considerably less per month to finance than on an HP, or alternatively you can buy a more expensive car for the same monthly payment. This is what makes a PCP so attractive to the car buyer.
For dealers and manufacturers, a PCP has two great benefits: 1) the lower monthly payments mean that more of their customers can afford more of their cars; and 2) the final balloon payment at the end means that customers will, in all likelihood, buy another car on another PCP, giving the dealer/manufacturer a good opportunity of securing repeat business.

This lavish big-budget epic was the pinnacle of a uniquely Italian subgenre, the historical hardcore gore/porn extravaganza. The star-studded cast, perhaps lured by the high-profile involvement of producer Bob Guccione and screenwriter Gore Vidal, includes such luminaries as John Gielgud, Peter O'Toole, and Helen Mirren. Director Tinto Brass, whose similar treatment of Nazi Germany in Salon Kitty won him the job, did his best with the mammoth enterprise, but numerous production problems and re-edits took their toll on the finished product. When Caligula works best, it works because of Malcolm McDowell, whose crazed portrayal of the title Emperor is the embodiment of villainous corruption. McDowell raises his performance level to match the gaudy spectacle around him, which led to charges of overacting, but there are moments when he is absolutely riveting. Some of the cast doesn't fare as well, as O'Toole makes a particularly unsubtle Tiberius. The sex is graphic and steamy, particularly a feverish lesbian interlude between Penthouse Pets Lori Wagner and Marjorie Thorsen (using the pseudonym "Anneka di Lorenzo"), and the various carnival freaks used as atmosphere imbue the film with a grotesque, Fellini-like opulence. There are many memorable scenes and a magnificent score by Paul Clemente, but the heady brew of historical epic, hardcore sex, and gory violence proved overwhelming to many viewers. Still, Gore Vidal's script is surprisingly accurate, and manages to be entertainingly vulgar while bringing a rather loathsome slice of human history to vivid life, warts and all. The more explicit scenes were directed by Bob Guccione and Giancarlo Lui, causing both Vidal and Brass to remove their names from the credits. ~ Robert Firsching, Rovi

Original publishers note 1897 "What shall we have? "is a question daily. asked in. thousands of homes by troubled, housekeepers, as .often calling forth only the same ever-repeated answer. It is this perpetually-recurring query that has suggested the publication of the present book, as an attempt to furnish a ready answer of a more satisfactory nature. It is not a Cookery Book, in the ordinary sense of the term: making no profession of teaching how to cook, or even of embracing a very wide range of recipes. It pretends to be, simply. what its title describes-a selection of fresh and choice recipes, for Tasty Dishes; nearly every one of which has been personally tested by the compiler. The volume is published with the hope that it may, by suggesting a pleasing variety of simple palatable dishes, be the means of lifting a burden from many a housewife's heart, and increasing in some degree the general peace and. comfort of many a. household. The Publishers believe that it will be warmly welcomed as affording opportunity of enjoying variety without vexation, and they have full confidence that the recipes will commend themselves in all homes where it is desired to have excellence without extravagance.

WATCH: David Bowie - 'The Stars (Are Out Tonight)'
Listen to David Bowie on iHeartRadio
(Yahoo!) - When David Bowie unexpectedly emerged from a decade-long seclusion last month on his 66th birthday—releasing a new music video, "Where Are We Now," and announcing plans to issueThe Next Day, his first album since 2003'sReality—it was cause for celebration, obviously. In an age when tracks "leak" all the time and pop stars detail every aspect of their lives on Twitter, Instagram, and WhoSay, surprises on that sort of scale never happen anymore.
But there was just one minor problem: David's famously aquiline likeness could barely be discerned in the "Where Are We Now" video; he merely appeared as some sort of conjoined twin, his digitally obscured face peeking out from a black shroud. Considering that Bowie had practically gone into hiding since his heart attack of '03, and that rumors about his supposed ill health had run rampant in the years since, it was worrying that he had opted to not show his full self in his comeback clip.
But worry no more, Bowie fans. In the legend's epic new mini-movie, "The Stars (Are Out Tonight)," he looks virtually untouched by time: still handsome, glamorous, regal, and, for lack of a better adjective, positively Bowie-esque.

Canada's mixed wheelchair rugby team picked up a silver medal on Sunday, giving Canada one last piece of hardware at the 2012 London Paralympics.
After a surprise and hard-fought semi-final win over the United States on Saturday, Canada fell 66-51 to Australia in the final. Ryley Batt led the Australians with 37 goals while Chris Bond added 15.
"After the first loss to Australia, we looked at each other in the locker room and said, "We need to man up. We need to bring it" and from there we started the wave and just rode that wave," said Canadian veteran Mike Whitehead of Harrow, Ont. "We grew together as a team and we're a much better team now than when we started."
Edmonton's Zak Madell led Canada with 11 goals. Kelowna, B.C., native Garrett Hickling — Canada's flag-bearer at the opening ceremonies — and Whitehead each added seven goals.
The U.S. beat Japan 53-43 for bronze.
Canada was unable to add any medals in the wheelchair marathon events.
The men's event was won by Paralympic superstar David Weir of Britain, who was already household name in the host nation after winning the 800 metres, 1,500 metres and 5,000 metres. He blazed to the win in a time of one hour, 30 minutes, 20 seconds.
Josh Cassidy of Guelph, Ont., placed 12th in a time of 1:33:06.
"This is the toughest course I've ever done but I gave it everything I had," Cassidy said.
After recovering from a crash and having to fix a flat tire Michel Filteau of St. Jean Baptiste, Que., finished 26th in 1:47:39.
Diane Roy of Sherbrooke, Que., was the top Canadian in the women's race, finishing seventh overall in a time of 1:53:02.
"I did all that I could, this summer I put all of my focus into my top speed," she said. "So on this course to slow down in the curves and then accelerate again was exhausting, especially after ten days of competition."
Shirley Reilly of the U.S. was first in 1:46.33. Shelly Woods was one second behind, narrowly completing a marathon sweep for the host nation.
Canada finished with 31 medals — seven gold, 15 silver and nine bronze. Canada finished 20th in gold medals and 13th in overall medals.
Later Sunday, Montreal swimmer Benoit Huot carried the Canadian flag into Olympic Stadium as part of the closing ceremony. Huot won three medals in the pool in London — a gold, silver and bronze.
"It's been a great journey, my fourth Games," Huot said Sunday. "I'm really proud of what I've done here in London."Report Typo/Error

This post comes courtesy of Williams-Sonoma Culinary Expert Natasha Gandhi-Rue.
A tender, flaky crust is the best part of any pie, whether it's filled with fresh fruit or with chicken and vegetables.
The rich taste of real butter produces a versatile and delicious pie pastry. But for a crust that's easier to handle, try incorporating butter and shortening. The combination of butter and fat provides both stability (from the shortening) and flavor (from the butter).
Delicate and crisp, a perfect crust is simple to make if you follow three guidelines.
1. Don't overwork the dough.
Take care not to overblend the fat and flour. Cutting the butter into the flour mixture is a key step in making a good piecrust. The butter must be very cold and hard and in pea-sized pieces before the liquid (usually ice water) is added. If the butter warms up and softens, the flour will absorb it, become sticky and ultimately yield a tough crust.
Handle the pastry no more than necessary. Overworking the piecrust will "work" the glutens in the flour and melt the butter into the flour, again creating a tough crust.
2. Add just enough water to hold the dough together.
Add enough water so the dough can be rolled out easily — better a bit too much water than not enough. Try adding the water a tablespoon at a time, stirring and tossing with a fork after each addition. Stop adding water once the dough comes together in a rough, shaggy mass and can hold together when pinched.
3. Keep everything very, very cold.
Pastry made with butter must be refrigerated for at least 1 hour before being rolled out. It's also a good idea to refrigerate the dough again once it's been placed in the pie dish, before you add the filling and bake.
Tip: How to roll out the dough
- On a lightly floured board or rolling mat, flatten the dough disk with 6 to 8 gentle taps of the rolling pin. Lift the dough and give it a quarter turn. Dust the top of the dough and the rolling pin with flour as needed.
- Begin rolling from the middle of the dough round, pushing outward and stopping the pressure 1/4 inch from the edge so that the edge does not get too thin.
- Lift the dough, give it a quarter turn and repeat rolling. Use this frequent lifting and turning of the dough to gauge the thickness and to dust the work surface and dough lightly with flour.
- Roll the dough out about 1/8 inch thick.
Flaky Pie Pastry
The rich flavor of butter and the flake-making quality of vegetable shortening produce a pie pastry that is both versatile and delicious. The butter and shortening should be very cold so that they will form layers in the crust that contribute to the overall flakiness. If you are making a savory pie, omit the sugar.
11⁄ 3 cups all-purpose flour
1 Tbs. sugar (optional)
1⁄4 tsp. salt
5 Tbs. cold unsalted butter, cut into 3 ⁄4 -inch pieces
3 Tbs. cold vegetable shortening, cut into 3⁄ 4 -inch pieces
4 Tbs. ice water
In the bowl of a food processor, combine the flour, sugar and salt. Pulse 2 or 3 times to mix. Add the butter and shortening pieces and pulse 8 to 10 times until the mixture forms large, coarse crumbs. Add the ice water a little at a time and pulse 10 to 12 times until the dough begins to come together in a mass but does not form a ball.
Transfer the dough to a work surface and shape into a 6-inch disk. Wrap the disk tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate until well chilled, about 1 hour or up to overnight. Makes one 9-inch piecrust.

Yankees ace CC Sabathia is heading to the DL with a strained muscle in his left leg. The left-hander will be out until after the All-Star break, but executive Joe Girardi expounded that if all goes right, Sabathia will miss only 2 turns in the rotation.
Sabathia did not want to go on the disabled list, but Yankees GM Brian Cashman told him that the club wouldn't take any chances with his health. NFL betting lines
"Better safe than sorry," Cashman declared.
In Sabathia's place, Freddy Garcia was in line to start Fri. against the Chicago White Sox, but he came on in relief when Andy Pettitte was hurt in the 5th inning.
Garcia has been pitching as a long man since being bounced from the rotation after 4 early-season starts. Minor leaguer Adam Warren is also expected to be called up for the 1st time, Cashman said.
Girardi said the strain is in Sabathia's adductor muscle, which is found in the inner thigh near the groin. Doctors classified the injury as a Grade 1 strain, according to Girardi.
Sabathia originally felt pain in the leg during the 4th inning of his start Sunday night against the Mets. Sabathia did not tell anybody with the Yankees about the injury until it lingered during a bullpen session on Tuesday.
The N.Y Yankees sent Sabathia for an MRI to try the severity of the injury. Cashman believes that Sabathia would be well placed to pitch with the pain if the team was in the stretch run, but at this point in the season, the Yankees are playing it safe in spite of the pitcher's reluctance to be disabled.
"You have to guard players from themselves," Cashman expounded.
Cashman asserted that when Sabathia does return after the break, he likely will start in the back of the rotation to give him one or two additional days of rest. Girardi recounted he's been assured that the more than 15 days of rest will take care of the injury.
Sabathia was scheduled to start Friday and Wed. in Tampa, Fla., before the break. He was set to miss the last series of the 1st half against the Red Sox. The Yankees considered pushing back Sabathia's next start rather than putting him on the disabled list, but ultimately deemed that too risky.
"Our thought is you are maybe risking him 7 or 8 starts, if he hurts it worse," Girardi said.
Sabathia is 9-3 with a 3.45 ERA, while Garcia is 1-2 with a 6.91 ERA. Girardi calculated that Garcia will throw only 50 to 60 pitches on Friday.
"There isn't any doubt we're going to miss him," Girardi asserted of Sabathia. "We have a pretty experienced club. We lost the best closer ever. We managed to respond. We lost our setup guy, and we managed to respond. We were without Alex [Rodriguez] for the 1st couple months a couple of years ago, and we were able to get through that. We just have to fight thru it. Our belief is it's only going to be 2 starts."

[Footnote 1: It has been suggested that these mosaics were principally
laid by itinerant Italians. The idea is, of course, due to modern
analogies. It does not seem quite impossible, since the work is in a
sense that of an artist, and the pay might have been high enough to
attract stray decorators of good standing from the Continent. However,
no evidence exists to prove this or even to make it probable. The
mosaics of Roman Britain, with hardly an exception, are such as might
easily be made in a province which was capable of exporting skilled
workmen to Gaul (p. 57). They have also the appearance of imitative work
copied from patterns rather than of designs sketched by artists. It is
most natural to suppose that, like the Gaulish Samian ware--which is
imitative in just the same fashion--they are local products.]

Britons.' This is fully borne out by General Pitt-Rivers' discoveries
near Rushmore, to be mentioned below. Similar rude hypocausts were
opened some years ago in my presence at Eastbourne.]

"Last week both Arizona Senators visited the Navajo Nation to persuade tribal officials that they should agree to waive most of Navajo claims to the Lower Colorado River in order to receive $350 million worth in water development project. During their visit they ensured the Navajo Nation president and council that there was no trickery involved and that they are negotiating this agreement in "good faith." But when two esteemed Republican Senators take time out of their busy schedules to visit the Navajo Nation in order to persuade tribal leadership with millions of dollars worth of development aide and other goodies, one has to assume something else is happening. In fact, a lot is happening here, and it is important that the Navajo people understand some of the larger issues influencing this settlement. In this editorial, I offer four critiques of the settlement: 1) this is a poorly planned settlement; 2) it fails to address climate change; 3) it is the product of political and economic blackmail; and 4) scale, sustainability and planning for future water are not considered in this settlement."

Rabbi Saperstein: "This compromise cannot distract from the need to address urgent structural challenges. In this time of economic hardship, we should not be taking steps that reduce the government's ability to fulfill its responsibility to its citizens."
Contact: Eric Harris or Jonathan Backer
202.387.2800 | firstname.lastname@example.com
WASHINGTON, D.C., December 20, 2010 -- In response to the signing into law of the Tax Relief, Unemployment Insurance Reauthorization, and Job Creation Act of 2010 (H.R. 4853), Religious Action Center of Reform Judaism Director Rabbi David Saperstein issued the following statement:
Last week, President Obama signed into law legislation that addresses the expiring tax cuts enacted by the previous administration. The legislation reflects compromise on both sides. Partial satisfaction is the hallmark of compromise, and we do not make a judgment on the compromise itself, but we seek to identify those aspects that will protect the most vulnerable among us and those that will present challenges to the government's ability to do so.
In exchange for a two-year extension of the tax cuts for all income brackets and higher exemption levels and reduced rates for the estate tax, the Administration got bipartisan support for some important concessions: protection of the Child Tax Credit, the Earned Income Tax Credit, the American Opportunity Tax Credit, a payroll tax reduction, and most importantly, an extension of federal unemployment benefits for 13 months -- all aimed at helping working families and reviving the ailing economy. During the nineteenth consecutive month with an unemployment rate above nine percent, these concessions will, in the short-term, keep millions of families out of poverty. The long-term extension of unemployment benefits, in particular, represents a major advance: for the next 13 months, jobless Americans will no longer have to endure weeks without a lifeline due to legislative paralysis. These important provisions are welcome and necessary to meeting our nation's commitments to working families.
At the same time, this compromise cannot distract from the need to address urgent structural challenges. In this time of economic hardship, we should not be taking steps that reduce the government's ability to fulfill its responsibility to its citizens. We have long held that the core of a progressive tax system in which the wealthy shoulder a larger responsibility to help those in need was the fairest system and opposed the original Bush tax cuts for this reason. We therefore remain deeply concerned that by failing to return tax rates to the levels of the 1990s -- policies that led to a period of remarkable economic growth -- we will exacerbate our debt. This, in turn, will strain our ability to support working families and invest in the economy to help lift us out of the lingering effects of the recession.

Excerpts from recent editorials in newspapers in the United States and abroad:
Newark, N.J., Sept. 17, The Star-Ledger on Miss America:
To the new Miss America we offer hearty congratulations, and best wishes in her determination to ignore the psychos who have been posting racist comments online.
It is a sad fact of modern life that bigots can gain visibility much more easily than they used to. There was a day when they had to screw up the courage to confront their targets in the flesh, or at least take the trouble to scrawl graffiti or draft a letter.
Now they can post a comment online under an anonymous screen name in 30 seconds. And with that vile mission completed, they can move on to pollute another online conversation. So a mere handful of bigots can spread their slime far and wide, making their views seem more common than they are in reality.
The messages regarding the new Miss America, Nina Davuluri, who is Indian-American, proved yet again that bigotry and stupidity often go hand in hand. Here's a sampling:
"And the Arab wins Miss America. Classic."
"9/11 was 4 days ago and she gets Miss America?"
"Congratulations Al-Qaeda. Our Miss America is one of you."
For the record, Davuluri, 24, is headed to medical school, unlike the clowns who wrote these notes. When she was asked about the ugly tweets, she turned it into a teaching moment.
"At the end of the day, we are all Americans," she said. "Some of us have different skin color or may speak a different language at home or may practice a different religion. But we are all still American."
Tweet that, bigots.
Toronto, Sept. 17, Toronto Star on Egypt should free two Canadians held without charge:
Enough. Prime Minister Stephen Harper is making discouragingly little headway with muted expressions of diplomatic "concern" about the fate of two Canadians — a physician and a filmmaker — who have been languishing for weeks in an Egyptian jail without explanation or charge. It's time to channel some outrage.
The military coup that has plunged Egypt into this contempt for due process and the law is a betrayal of its 2011 democratic revolution. It is roiling relations with friendly countries such as Canada and the United States. It is scaring off aid, investment and tourism. And it is condemning Egyptians to yet more violence and instability. That's the message Harper should be sending, forcefully and publicly, to Cairo's generals and their political cronies.
Dr. Tarek Loubani and John Greyson were arrested on Aug. 16 after they went into a Cairo police station to ask directions in the midst of political upheaval there. The police now allege that they and a few other foreigners took part in riots involving Muslim Brotherhood supporters near a police station and mosque. They've been held for a month, and on the weekend a prosecutor ordered them held for 15 days more. They fear being jailed indefinitely, and have now launched a hunger strike to protest.
While their families credit Harper and our diplomats for "advocating for John and Tarek's release at the highest levels," the pair's detention is an outrage. Our diplomats are in touch, have managed to improve their jail conditions, and have met briefly with Egyptian prosecutors. But that still leaves the two in limbo. ...
Canadians can't be expected to turn a blind eye to this. More than 115,000 have signed a petition demanding that Greyson and Loubani be freed. And at the Toronto International Film Festival high-profile stars including Atom Egoyan, Sarah Polley and Alex Gibney took up their cause.
Egypt must provide a credible case, or release these men as it should release many others.

How A Trip To Costco Can Work As An Investment Strategy
By Mark Goldberg On May 30, 2013 · Leave a Comment · In Economy, National Public Radio
NPR's Uri Berliner is taking $5,000 of his own savings and putting it to work. Though he's no financial whiz or guru, he's exploring different types of investments — alternatives that may fare better than staying in a savings account that's not keeping up with inflation.
Mark Cuban is a billionaire, so it may be a surprise that the owner of NBA's Dallas Mavericks purchases everyday items like razor blades and toothpaste in bulk batches. It's stuff he knows he'll use in the future.
Here's the thinking behind bulk buying: Purchasing goods in volume is cheaper than buying them one at a time. You save on transaction costs like driving to the store. If your money in a savings or checking account is losing value to inflation — as it would be right now — why not spend some on everyday items you know you'll need?
I emailed Cuban about his strategy. This is what he wrote back:
"The money you save by investing in bulk will provide a better return on investment than any investment vehicle on the planet."
I found Cuban's thoughts on bulk buying intriguing and a good fit for my investment adventure. So I called up economist Russ Roberts, a research fellow at Stanford's Hoover Institution, to help me fill my cart at a Costco in Washington, D.C.
Inflation is low these days, running at a 1.7 percent annual rate. Still, it outpaces the return on a savings account. Roberts says if inflation starts rising, to say, 5 percent, the argument for bulk buying becomes more powerful. "Do you have an investment now that pays 5 percent? The answer is: not easily," he says.
He explains that a mutual fund might achieve a 5 percent return — but that's only if the stock market is doing well. Savings accounts and money market funds don't pay anything close to that. "So it's certainly true that cash, if you can spare it to convert your cash into real goods whose price is rising, [buying in bulk] is not a bad idea," Roberts says.
Being an economist, Roberts is trained to look for trade-offs. "There are some limits to the value of that advice, one being the size of your house," he says.
With storage capacity and global prices in mind, we set off, starting in the food aisles. Food prices bounce around a lot. This year, the Agriculture Department predicts prices will increase between 2.5 percent and 3.5 percent. There are two particular challenges with bulk food purchases: expiration dates and what I'll call the "eyes-are-bigger-than-the-stomach" issue. A 50-pack of nacho cheese Doritos that looks appetizing now can become a cause of regret in a few months.
Nuts. We're looking at stacks of nuts. One argument in their favor: They keep well. I'm a big fan of pecans, so I snag a 2-pound bag that's selling for $13.99. Pecans are an American specialty, and exports to pecan-loving destinations like Hong Kong and Vietnam were strong last year. So if demand stays high overseas, prices could jump and my pecan purchase would be a good deal. Verdict: Sold! I buy a 2-pound bag.
Trash and lawn bags. Over at household supplies, trash and lawn bags bulge in surprisingly heavy boxes. Plastic bags are made with petroleum. Oil prices could impact their purchase, right? Oil prices "are high historically right now. There's tension in the Middle East [that] could be the cause or it could be world demand and growth. China has been another argument as to why oil prices are high right now," Roberts says. "They could easily come down in which case this would not be a good bet. But if the Middle East heats up, which of course it can, this could be a good purchase."
A geopolitical economic analysis is helpful, but it didn't solve the question of whether trash bags are a good buy. So then Roberts says to forget the big global picture and instead look at the price tag on a box of bags. "The advantage of the trash bag investment is you get 200. You buy three of these you've got 600 trash bags , you are set for a long, long time. And they don't take up that much room in your garage," he says.
Also, they probably won't be stashed away and forgotten. Trash happens — inevitably. Verdict: I pass on these but buy a smaller box of 90 bags.
T-shirts. On a bulk-buying trip there's more than thinking about prices. You may start wondering about your future self. There's little doubt the two six-packs of T-shirts I'm eyeing are priced right — they're less than $4 per shirt. But buying 12 T-shirts is a long-term commitment to staying who you are physically. Buying so many T-shirts would mean exerting a bit of psychological pressure on myself to keep my weight in check.
"Yeah, you're putting down a bond basically," Roberts says. "You're investing to say, 'If I mess up and don't eat right and exercise insufficiently, I will have thrown away that money.' " Verdict: Sold! I buy two packages (12 T-shirts).
Now, throwing away money isn't the purpose of this undertaking. I'm looking to fill my cart with things I'll definitely use so that in the long run, I've actually saved money by buying in bulk. After well more than an hour inside the store, I come out with: 16 razor blades, three 8-ounce tubes of toothpaste, 16 cans of soup, two 186-ounce containers of laundry detergent, 90 tablets of heartburn relief medicine, two 40-ounce packages of dog treats, 12 white T-shirts and more. The total bill: $303.53.
How can I tell if bulk buying pays off? It pays off if I use what's in my cart — and if I come back to the store in, say, a year, and the total price tag on my items is higher than what I paid.
