NEW YORK (AP) — Raul Ibanez tied it with a pinch-hit homer in the ninth inning, then had an RBI single in the 12th, helping the Yankees remain a game up on Baltimore in the AL East with one game to go by beating the Boston Red Sox 4-3 on Tuesday night.
With a second comeback spurred by Ibanez in the last 10 days, the Yankees need a win or Orioles loss on the final day of the season to secure their 13th division title since 1996. The Orioles beat Tampa Bay 1-0 earlier.
If the teams end up even after Wednesday's games, they'll play a tiebreaker Thursday in Baltimore.
The Yankees kept missing chances on a misty night. They were 0-58 when trailing after eight innings this season before rallying in the ninth.
Curtis Granderson led off with a single off closer Andrew Bailey and Ibanez lined a shot to right field to make it 3-all.
Ibanez came up again with two outs in the 12th after Francisco Cervelli walked in his first plate appearance of the year and Granderson drew a walk from Andrew Miller (3-2).
Ibanez hit a grounder out of the reach of shortstop Jose Iglesias and Cervelli flopped into home plate. The Yankees ran out to first base to mob Ibanez, who had a tying two-run homer against Oakland in the 13th inning on Sept. 22. He was doused with a bucket of water during a postgame interview.
"We stuck together. We stayed after them, and we were able to pull it out," Ibanez said. "I was trying not to do too much, and it found a hole."
Derek Lowe (9-11) pitched two innings for the win.
While the Orioles were chasing the Yankees in the standings, Lowe's outing was delayed briefly in the 12th by another kind of bird. A member of the grounds crew, using a bucket, chased a bird that landed on the infield and was reluctant to fly off. Continued...
The Red Sox dropped to 69-92, and the loss ensured they will finish in last place in the East for the first time since 1992.
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) — Chris Davis homered for the sixth straight game and the Orioles overcame a club-record 15 strikeouts by James Shields to beat the Rays, pushing the AL East race to the final day of the season.
Baltimore trails the New York Yankees by one game.
Orioles rookie Miguel Gonzalez (9-4) limited the Rays to two singles over 6 1-3 innings. The right-hander walked two and struck out seven before manager Buck Showalter turned the game over to the bullpen.
Davis joined Hall of Famer Reggie Jackson as the only Baltimore players to homer in six consecutive games, connecting off Shields (15-10) in the fourth. The Orioles managed only one other hit — Nate McLouth's sixth-inning single — in Shields' third complete game.
INDIANS 4, WHITE SOX 3, 12 innings
CLEVELAND (AP) — Jason Donald singled home the winning run with two outs in the 12th inning, lifting the Indians over the White Sox.
Lonnie Chisenhall doubled with one out against Matt Thornton (4-10), who then intentionally walked Russ Canzler.
Right-hander Nate Jones came on to face announced pinch hitter Matt LaPorta, who was then replaced by lefty swinging Jack Hannahan. Jones struck him out before Donald hit a liner into the left-field corner. Continued...
Chris Seddon (1-1) pitched a scoreless 12th for the win, Cleveland's seventh in 17 meetings with Chicago. It was the left-hander's first victory since July 24, 2010, when he was with Seattle.
TORONTO (AP) — Chad Jenkins earned his first major league win, Kelly Johnson hit a two-run home run and the Blue Jays beat the Twins.
Making his third career start, Jenkins (1-3) allowed two runs and five hits in five-plus innings. The right-hander walked one and struck out two.
Three-time batting champion Joe Mauer went hitless in three at-bats, dropping his average to .320. Detroit's Miguel Cabrera is leading the batting race, hitting .331. Angels rookie Mike Trout is second.
Aaron Loup, Steve Delabar and Darren Oliver all worked one inning before Casey Janssen finished for his 22nd save in 25 chances, handing the Twins their fourth straight defeat.

I am interested in making a 12ga pistol. You know the one. Double barrel sawed off to the forend and pistol grip stock. I understand the process and paperwork involved, however I was more concerned about being able to shoot it. Has anyone ever fired one of these things? I imagine the recoil from a 4lb pistol firing 00buck has to be incredible. Ive shot a 410 derringer with 3" high brass shells and it was sharp, but manageable. Now I think of the difference in recoil between a 410 full length shotgun and 12ga. I dont want to spend $200 for a stamp, go through all the red tape, wait 4 months, and cut down a SXS just to have it go flying 10ft through the air the first time I pull the trigger. Is there anything this is comparable to in terms of recoil? Thank you.

Internet merchants across the globe anticipate online sales to surge ahead this holiday season. Nevertheless, this growth provides cyber criminals a bigger opportunity to take advantage of online retailers and end users. Owing to the ardent need of a robust cyber defence system to combat cyber threats, Asahi Technologies announces 24/7 cyber attack surveillance services to help online retailers cope the influx of Christmas shoppers.
(PRWEB) November 19, 2012
Countering cyber attacks and safeguarding the core systems of an organization is proving to be a formidable task to numerous online businesses. As the sophistication of cyber criminals has increased tremendously, companies both small and large have been alarmed by the recent cyber attacks that wreaked havoc in terms of leak of confidential data, loss of data or digital assets, invasion of malicious code or viruses.
According to ComScore, the yearly U.S. retail e-commerce spending has increased 143% since 2004 to $161.52 billion last year. In addition, e-commerce spending grew 14% last holiday season to $37.2 billion. Furthermore, MarketLive has indicated that online spending is gaining momentum and is expected to surge 17% accounting to $54.47 billion this season. This data underscores the increasing popularity of online shopping in the backdrop of cyber criminals in the online virtual world.
Every business is susceptible to cyber attacks, and the numbers are astounding when it comes to their impact on small businesses. According to NCSA, the average cost of cyber attack for small businesses in 2010 accounted to $188,242. Also, a study by Symantec revealed that 60% of small businesses close their operations within six months of an attack. Now with the holiday season around, small business owners are concerned about the vulnerability of cyber attacks aimed at crippling online sales.
Installing a customized and credible cyber security system is the need of the hour. Asahi Technologies, with its unique capability to measure cyber risk, launches 24x7 security features with round the clock monitoring services that are on par with the industry standards. The 24x7 one pack surveillance solutions provides early cues of probable vulnerabilities, enabling clients to take corrective action and avert further damage.

To facilitate online retailers effectively manage cyber risks, Asahi Technologies with its advanced cyber threat prevention system, offers a holistic, 360-degree risk assessment based on the client's level of exposure. The proprietary surveillance package, known for its accurate performance and stability is tailor made to serve the needs of various clients across diverse industries.

While there was only a thin covering of white on I-93 in Campton, a drive up in elevation along Rte. 49 Thursday, into Waterville Valley found a winter wonderland at the end of the road.
By noon, close to a foot of new powder was on the ground, and it was and swirling in the wind as Giff Kriebel manned the Nordic desk in Town Square.
"I guess by the end of this, we will have close to 50 kilometers open," he said with a sweet smile.
Before the storm, only about 20 kilometers of Nordic trails were open, mostly on the north end of the 70-kilometer trail system, an area in the White Mountain National Forest known as the Tripoli Road or the Livermore area.
The parking lot at Livermore had not been plowed, but there were more than 20 cars that had made it into the lot. Small groups of snowshoers and cross-country skiers were coming and going along the trails, which were groomed the night before.
Up at the alpine ski area, snowboarders were raving about the powder snow but visibility was tough, they said.
Many who were visiting the valley were staying inside during the storm or taking in lunch at the cafes and looking forward to fresh snow on Friday morning.
In Lincoln, Karl Stone, spokesman for Ski NH, the statewide organization that promotes skiing, sent an email out at midday with an update on the Nor'easter.
"We've got up to a foot at the ski areas so far with it still going, hopefully those numbers continue to grow.
"Many areas are/were fighting with the wind today from the storm, the wind seems to be dying down some now. It looks like several have started to now re-open some lifts that were on delay. We also have cross country areas opening all kinds of terrain, which has them ecstatic.

What Types of Rehab Centers are There?
For people who find they are dealing with certain addictions or mental problems, rehab may be the only way to help them overcome their problem and help them lead productive, healthy lives. There are a number of different types of rehab centers available. Here are some examples.
Rehab Centers for Alcohol and Drug Addiction
One of the most common types of rehab centers is for those who are dealing with alochol and drug addiction. Here the addict is met by professionals who help them overcome not only their physical addiction to alcohol and drugs but their mental addiction as well. They are able to help them deal with the physical side effects and withdrawals that come along with going through detox. Many centers have medical professionals on hand that can offer assistance when needed. Once the addict has gone the program at the rehab center they are often given recommendations of meetings or groups they can join to help ensure their recovery is a success.
Rehab Centers for Food Addictions
Another type of rehab center that is highly effective is for food addicts. Food addictions are not just narrowed down to binge eaters. These rehab centers also deal with those who are suffering with anorexia, bulimia and other food addictions. The professionals at the rehab centers will help re-introduce the addicts to healthy eating patterns as well as go through different methods to help determine what causes their specific type of food addiction and help them on the path to leading a normal, healthy lifestyle upon leaving the center.

FAIRMONT — The town's financial situation is improving, an auditor told the Fairmont Board of Commissioners at its Tuesday meeting.
John Masters, of the S. Preston Douglas and Associates firm, said the town's General Fund balance has increased slightly, but the big improvement was in the unassigned portion of the General Fund. He said the unassigned portion was at 12 percent during the 2011-2012 year, well above the 8 percent threshold required by the state.
"In the General Fund balance… there was a slight increase, and the unassigned portion of the general fund balance actually went up noticeably," Masters said.
Masters said that the property tax collection rate for the town increased from 87.58 to 88.21 percent, but is still below the statewide average of 97 percent.
Mayor Charles Kemp said that the Local Government Commission only offered criticisms and didn't recognize any of the improvements the town has made.
"In the world of education, with which I had 40 years of experience, I found that even in the most negative of student performance circumstances there could be found some form of praise or compliment," Kemp said. "Such is obviously not the case with governmental financial overview. Try as we might against deep and formidable fiscal hurdles, strangers to Fairmont who sit and judge from afar find fault in our efforts with little praise for the Herculean efforts made by a board of concerned elected officials and a very competent professional staff."
The board, with Kemp casting a tie-breaking vote, decided to remove a requirement that golf carts that use city streets have a sign on the back that says "slow moving." Commissioners Wade Sealey, Wayland Lennon, and Carol Leak-McKenzie voted in favor of removing the requirement and Commissioners Charles Townsend, J.J. McCree, and Kim Ammons voting against.
Lennon said that he had received a lot of complaints from people with golf carts who aid they don't easily fit on the carts without blocking access to the rear of the vehicle. Commissioner J.J. McCree said that he was concerned with the visibility of the carts on overcast or foggy days.
"If it's gloomy or cloudy and you're not burning lights then the reflectors are just there and not doing anything," he said.
In other action, the board:
— Decided to continue to pursue grant money to repair its Gertrude Street Well instead of increasing water rates.
— Rejected an offer of $1,500 from the Body of God by Faith Church to purchase a town-owned building at 603 S. Main St.

When we asked our readers in a poll about four months ago whether they believed our county commissioners would roll back their pay and benefits, more than 700 responded, and they spoke in almost a singular voice: Eighty-six percent said the commissioners would not cut their pay and benefits.
It was a disappointing indictment of this county's leadership.
At the time, we disagreed with the poll's respondents, believing what at least four county commissioners told us. We will paraphrase, but the four — Chairman Noah Woods and Commissioners Tom Taylor, Roger Oxendine and David Edge — acknowledged in face-to-face conversations that a problem existed and that it would be addressed.
While we still have faith in those four, more votes are needed, and our confidence that corrections will occur erodes each day that they don't.
Just to make sure everyone is caught up, we will remind you that this newspaper did research last year showing that Robeson County commissioners' pay and stipend when combined is the fourth highest in the state, their health benefits are better than county employees and unlike any enjoyed by county commissioners elsewhere. They have a retirement plan, and their discretionary fund, which provides $40,000 a year for each commissioner to disburse as he pleases, is unmatched. The commissioners immediately scuttled a plan that allowed them to continue receiving a salary after leaving office when it wilted under the sunlight this newspaper provided.
All this in perhaps the poorest county in North Carolina, where property is taxed at one of the highest rates in the state and many needs go unattended.
The commissioners directed County Manager Ricky Harris to use his staff to conduct his own study, which they received on Nov. 21. The commissioners at the time said they would address their pay and benefits after the holidays, which have now passed.
On Wednesday, they begin a three-day retreat, and it doesn't seem likely that their pay and benefits will be addressed. Woods, the chairman, is cryptic about the commissioners' plans, but it appears they expect to discuss the matter while crafting the budget for the fiscal year that begins July 1.
That the commissioners called for the study suggests they believed, based on our reporting, that a problem existed. As the study confirmed our findings, the obvious conclusion is that action is needed.
If the commissioners skip the opportunity to address their pay, benefits and discretionary fund this week, and kick that ball down the road five more months, then the conclusion will be simple — that the commissioners intend to milk this cow as long as possible.
They have a chance this week to prove us wrong — as well as most Robesonians, who clearly don't have faith that they will do the right thing.
As they won't answer our questions on the matter, perhaps they will yours. If you would like to ask your commissioner directly, here are their phone numbers: Chairman Noah Woods, District 4, 910-521-9006; Raymond Cummings, District 5, 910-521-4934; Tom Taylor, District 7, 910-739-6403; David Edge, District 6, 910-258-1166; Lance Herndon, District 8, 910-733-5482; Roger Oxendine, District 3, 910-628-8667; Jerry Stephens, District 1, 910-671-1991; and Hubert Sealey, District 2, 910-628-5923.

Downtown Oakdale business owners say the benches on Third Avenue do more harm than good.
Transients and people who are being a nuisance are attracted to the area, struggling business owners said, and so they're glad the benches have been removed -- for now.
Ever since the benches were removed by the city, the owner of Cafe Bliss said he's noticed an immediate improvement.
Before, he said, the benches became the "hang out" spot for certain types of people, adding that they would come use his facilities and leave a mess.
The owner of Mia Bella Salon said she's had to call police a few times, because the folks hanging out near the benches were harassing her customers.
And yet, another business, Touchdown Properties, said lewd comments were made by one of the people who congregated at the bench area.
The city of Oakdale said four benches were taken out last week because they have to be cleaned.
It's at no additional cost other than staff time.
The city said the benches will be put back before the farmers market begins, but they are evaluating whether that will be a good idea, based on business owners' concerns.
Oakdale police said they can't enforce who hangs out near the benches.

House panel says 2 Chinese companies could threaten US security
WASHINGTON (MCT) — The federal government should "view with suspicion" attempts by two Chinese telecommunications companies to expand in the U.S. market because of a strong risk that they would aid spying and cybertheft by China, a yearlong investigation by the House intelligence committee concluded.
House investigators working for Democrats and Republicans said in a report that Huawei Technologies Co. and ZTE Corp., two private companies with deep ties to the Chinese government, had not satisfied security concerns.

It has been produced principally for use by students in the Information School, but it may also be useful to a wider audience, including anybody interested in pursuing a career in the information sector who wants to know more about finding a job, or finding a relevant postgraduate course.
Careers in Information and LibrariesInformation and knowledge-based industries are an area of growth in the developed economies. At the heart of the success of modern organizations lies the efficient gathering, processing, storage and dissemination of information and the parallel development and maintenance of suitable information systems. The globalization of markets and the 'turbulence' of the business environment means that in most industries and employment sectors information or knowledge systems play a major role. The growing use of information technology in the workplace has increased the awareness of the role that information itself plays in our lives. Consequently, graduates with information or knowledge management skills are widely employable. |

You will need to have good interpersonal and communication skills to succeed. A logical and methodical approach to work is also important. Good levels of general knowledge and the ability to develop new specialist knowledge are important too.

Graduates in information work are always required in the education and IT sectors. There is a long standing area of work in public libraries and in other public sector organisations, such as the NHS.

Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc. |
Reasons for Procedure
- Bleeding, infection, or ulcers in the small intestines
- Cancer
- Precancerous polyps
- Crohn's disease
- Intestinal blockage
- Injury
Possible Complications
- Excessive bleeding
- Infection
- Blockage of the intestine caused by scar tissue

What to Expect
Prior to Procedure
- Physical exam
- Blood and urine tests
- X-rays of the chest and abdomen
- CT scan of the abdomen
Talk to your doctor about your medicines. You may be asked to stop taking some medicines up to one week before the procedure, like:
- Aspirin or other anti-inflammatory drugs
- Blood thinners, such as clopidogrel (Plavix) or warfarin (Coumadin)
- Take medicines as recommended by your doctor. This may include antibiotics.
- Your intestines should be cleaned out for the surgery. During the week before surgery, eat high-fiber foods and drink 6-8 glasses of water per day. This will encourage bowel movements. Other cleansing methods may also be recommended, including enemas, laxatives, and a clear-liquid diet. You may be asked to drink a large container of solution that helps with the complete emptying of your intestines.
- Begin fasting as directed by your doctor.
Description of Procedure
- Traditional open incision—An incision will be made into the abdomen in the area of the diseased intestine.
- Laparoscopic technique—A few small incisions will be made in the abdomen. Carbon dioxide gas will be pumped into the abdomen through an incision. A laparoscope (thin tube with a small camera on the end) and special tools will be inserted through the incisions. The laparoscope sends a view of the interior of the abdomen to a video monitor.

Yurbuds showed an interesting $99 sports earbud that works as both a noise-isolation design and an "ambient-aware" design that lets environment sounds in. Little ridges on the noise-isolating tip (shown here) seal your ear canal, while the ambient-aware tip has no ridges, so some sound can sneak in. It's available in behind-ear and in-ear models, both of which employ triple-magnet drivers which the company said improve the sound quality. I abstained from the offered audition because lots of other people were trying them out and I didn't want to get ear cooties. A Bluetooth version is planned for June.
Am I the only one that thinks most of this looks like a bunch of junk?

Each Linux distribution has its own way of doing things, storing config files or administering the system. Differences are only skin-deep though and while it gets a bit of effort to go from one distribution to another, it's usually not dificult. RedHat is popular in North America and in Asia mostly. SuSE is better known in Europe but is making its way into the US market since it has been bought by Novell. In any case, a Linux system can be quite daunting to approach: it's made of hundred of bits that work together but require you to have a broad and sometimes fairly deep knowledge to truly become productive. Linux is wonderful for that very task: building plenty of small low-cost servers for what usually requires larger budgets and entails licensing headaches. Plus *nix allows a fair dose of flexibility that other systems usually don't offer unless you purchase the specialized software that someone else's thought you would need. To make sense of the jungle of options, services, configuration files, issues that every system administrator is faced with, I decided to get a solid background in Linux systems and get a RHCE, following the Red Hat Certified Engineer curriculum. I took it easy and paced myself over a rather long period of time, passing first the intermediate RHCT (for Technician) certification. The Certification Exams are practical only (read: no paper, no writting) and take half a day for the RHCT and a full day for the RHCE. They are divided in different sections, such as troubleshooting and Installation/Configuration.

4 Meetup Groups match "Chess" near Southwell, United Kingdom
There are no upcoming Meetups.
This is a group for all the Chess players who believe chess is a league of its own, a world of its own and deserves the respect this group is set to give.
I believe that Jiu-Jitsu is like a chess. A chess game where your limbs are the pieces. And as such the very best way to improve is to face a superior opponent. The premise is simple. Open mats. When you force a submission you go back & explain how you got the upperhand & what they could have done to defend & counter against it. Then you go back, implement the counter & continue. partners change every three submissions. Sessions will be held on the last Sunday of the month.
Do you want to play boardgames? If so join up and find others in the area to meet up with - simple! (some of use are also partial to wargaming and RPG sessions as well). What we play: "Modern" and contemporary boardgames such as Settlers of Catan, Carcassone, Power Grid, Space Hulk etc.. Anything from most dice-heavy "ameritrash" to intricate "eurogames" included. What we don't play: Traditional games like Chess, Go, Scrabble, Cribbage etc.. Common family games like Monopoly, Risk, Cluedo, Ga …
Meetup details are available only to members.
St Albans Harpenden Fly Fishing is an online and face to face community local of fly fishers. Those living nearby are also welcome.

Programme Support Office (PSO) Overview
Programme or Project Support Offices within medium to large organisations are becoming the "norm" in business. In order to maintain oversight of a vast number of projects, organisations are increasingly creating a centralised Programme Support Office (PSO). Xelocity deliberately prefer to use the term Programme Support Office (PSO) rather than Project Management Office (PMO). It is important that these offices provide support to the business to achieve predictable benefits. The ownership of the change projects or programme must remain with the business benefit owners (those responsible to recognise and implement key outcomes). Services Offered * Establishing a Programme Support Office * Executing a Programme Support Office. Programme Support Offices provide a range of services from custodianship of processes, systems, mentoring/coaching, tools and techniques, to the provision of suitable skilled resources for project and programme management. If you are considering the establishment of, or in the process of establishing a Project or Programme Support Office, Xelocity has appropriate experience in establishing small to large PSOs. If you already have a PSO and wish to increase the value it adds to overall project delivery, Xelocity can review PSO performance and assist in implementing a set of recommendations to improve performance. Our point of difference is: * We DON'T drop and go... * We assess the Programme /Project Management maturity so that the Programme Support Office processes are realistic and achievable * We engage with the governance structure to maximise the benefits of a Programme Support Office. Supporting Software In addition to processes and templates to assist with PSO execution, Xelocity has also developed a tool called QPD©. Where appropriate, the tool offers easy entry and encourages quick adoption of consistent processes. Click here for more information. |

Council Votes to Offer Interim Administrator Job to Robert Jean
On Friday, May 11, the San Juan County Council voted unanimously to offer the position of Interim County Administrator to Robert Jean of University Place, Washington. In his resume, Jean describes himself as fiscally conservative and "people and results oriented."
Monday, May 14 2012 -
He has more than 30 years experience as a City Administrator or City Manager in small and medium-sized towns in Washington, Oregon and California. He's done two turns in interim administrator positions – in 2010 in Gillette, Wyoming, and most recently in Lake Forest Park, Washington.
If contract negotiations with Jean are successful, he will serve while a replacement is sought for County Administrator Pete Rose, who has resigned effective June 8 to take the position of city administrator in Lake Forest Park.
Jean was one of three finalists for the interim administrator's position.

Reviews for What Maisie Knew
An Excerpt from What Maisie Knew
A new edition of the innovative, emotionally complex novel.
After her parents' bitter divorce, young Maisie Farange finds herself shuttled between her selfish mother and vain father, who value her only as a means for provoking each other. Maisie-solitary, observant, and wise beyond her years-is drawn into an increasingly entangled adult world of intrigue and sexual betrayal until she is finally compelled to choose her own future. Published in 1897 as Henry James was experimenting with narrative technique and fascinated by the idea of the child's-eye view, What Maisie Knew is a subtle yet devastating portrayal of an innocent adrift in a corrupt society.

Take the Q33 or any bus that will take you to Roosevelt Avenue and transfer to either the Manhattan-bound 7 train exiting at 46/Bliss Street or the Manhattan bound Q32 bus exiting at 48th Street and Queens Blvd. Keep in mind a cab from LGA is only $15 and about 15 minutes.
From EWR:
Take the shuttle train to New York Penn Station. If you have a lot of luggage and don't mind a longer ride where you don't have to transfer or climb stairs, take the Q32 bus directly to 47th Street and Queens Blvd. Otherwise, take the 1, 2, or 3 train uptown 1 stop to Times Square and transfer to the local number 7 train to 46/Bliss Street. Keep near the front of the train and exit the 47th Street side on the North side of Queens Blvd.
Once at 47th or 48th Streets walk a block North to 43rd Avenue and we are in the middle of the block between 47th and 48th Streets. The house number is 47-09 on 43rd Avenue.
More about taking the bus from Penn Station in Manhattan:
The bus is definitely more user friendly and the bus driver and even passengers are eager to help. The bus driver announces stops although he will probably say 46th rather 47th Street. There will be a big 'Welcome to Sunnyside' sign on your right side on 46th Street. It's kind of easy to get a sense of where you are as the streets run sequential along the stretch of Queens Blvd. that the bus will be on. You will cross over the bridge at 59th Street in Manhattan and once you pass Queens Plaza and another small bridge you will see 33rd Street and the streets just go up from there. Another nice thing about the bus is that you won't have to cart your luggage around up and down stairs and through underground walkways. To get the Q32 from Penn exit at the center corridor looking for the 7th Avenue signs. As you emerge from the escalator you will see the bus stop and maybe a bus sitting there
across 7th Avenue and on 32nd Street. 32nd Street is a one way street that goes in the direction you will be facing as you come off the escalator. At any time, if you have any trouble, don't hesitate to call.
To recognize my place look for the building that looks like the picture. It is the only building on the block with an open front porch that is easy to see.

It's true. Since Jim Riggleman called it quits, Mike Quade has replaced Riggleman as a coach for the NL All-Stars. The only question at this point is, what Cubs player is going to be forced into the All-Star game because of a silly rule? My money is on Sean Marshall.
Mike Quade is an all-star
2 Responses to "Mike Quade is an all-star"
I wonder whether Q will have a say in Bochy's all-star selections.
0 0
I think the NL is going to find a loop hole so that Quade is our team representative, thus no Cubs player will be an all-star.
By the time Bud Selig figures it out, it's too late and Quade will be playing LF in the 9th.

"Ruff 2 weeks for Hard Foulz. Lost #1 spot to Webz b-cuz Kobe got old. Gonna take it back this week. #RevengeissweetGodwilling"-Charlie Villanueva, Head of New Media and Public Relations via Twitter
It's possible. Charlie is currently in Denver to scout the Squirrels and to discuss a trade for Javale McGhee.
No way the Squirrels entertain the idea of trading away our team captain. McGee represents everything that we stand for!
The Mal's are peaking at the right time going into the consilation playoffs. We are actually winning our matchup this week against the Saberteeth. Keep in mind, were doing this with an injured Andris Bierdrins as our starting Center. He's suffering from an "injured game" this week and hasn't played. We're actually getting the same production from Bierdrins that we would if he was playing. I have no idea how this dude has a gig in the NBA. Center is a problem for the Mal's. I was hoping for big things from good old Epke Udoh but dude got traded to the Bucks at the deadline and they got a lot of bigs competing for minutes there. ESPN sucks compared to Yahoo as far as who they classify as a "Center". The Waiver wire looks like some kind of D-League charity event where they invited a bunch of bigs to wash cars to raise money for cancer research. I'm actually considering adding Yao Ming for next week's matchup as he looks like the best guy available.
I kind of like how they don't give every player dual position eligibility like Yahoo pretty much does. More to think about and plan for.
Very true. ...unless you inherit a team at the end of the year with a Center with a torn pectoral muscle and no other real options. Dude... Andris Bierdrins was looking good enough for me to add him during a week when GS had 5 games! Now if you'l excuse me, I have to make a call to Primoz Brezec's agent to see if he can suit up for the Mal's next week.
actually, he wasn't a "young keeper" anymore and given how prone for injuries he is, along with the fact that he'll probably be shut down for the rest of the season, I just did not see the point of keeping him any longer since he wouldn't have made it ino my chosen 3 anyways. Good luck for the next owner, but with weekly line-ups, there is just no point of owning players like Curry, particularly not as keepers.
Linwood comes home with a wet sail to reclaim top spot and secure the Regular season crown. Nice job. Let the playoffs begin. Round 1: #4 Laimbeer v #5 Roscoe #3 Ralphie v #6 Slippy Byes: #1 Linwood, #2 webz Consolation: #7 Max v #8 Winless #9 DBA v #10 BDL
Nick Young has been crap all season, and I should have kept him on my bench. I wanted to play Gordon Hayward, who had a magnificent week this week, instead. Still managed to embarrass Laimbeer and make sure this is the 3rd straight year he won't be in the title game. I am looking forward to playing Linwood next week. If I am healthy, I can compete with his squad which was the class of the league this year.
My squad looks to be healthy entering the matchup. Unfortunately, my best player by far, Kevin Love, only has three games! Should be a Battle Royale!

It's Friday! TGIF! This weekend feels like one made for the inner socialite in all of us. Since the single people of the world had to endure the shame of being alone on Valentine's Day, you can expect the clubs to be packed with people redoubling their search for Mr. or Ms. Right. And if that's true, then the DJs best come correct with tunes to help you bolster the courage. On the other hand, if you'd prefere to keep it low-key with a house party or a small gathering, we've got you completely covered with this week's best tracks. Have at it!
No hesitation about jumping into the warm waters with this one. Bingo Players have a banger with help from Heather Bright.
From here on in let it be known: any new Kill The Noise release will immediately be posted. That is all.
Nero – Must Be The Feeling (Kill The Noise Remix): LISTEN TO IT HERE
I am definitely not one to highlight an artist in the aftermath of his or her death. That has to be said. However, I am one to highlight anything that features Chromeo. Whitney had what may have been one of the best voices in the history of time — so we can hope that, among the truckload of remixes that will be doubtless appear over the coming weeks, we get more gems like this.
The Hood Internet – When The Night Knows (Whitney Houston x Chromeo): LISTEN TO IT HERE
When I chatted with Chris Lake last year, all he could talk about was Tommy Trash. Tommy this and Tommy that … apparently he knew something the rest of us didn't, cuz Tommy is killing it right now.
PNAU – Unite Us (Tommy Trash Remix): LISTEN TO IT HERE
A little R&B twist on this one. Nothing says Valentine's Day like a good break-up song. This beat is good — almost too good. Don't go too far to the dark side, Diplo!
Diplo – Climax: LISTEN TO IT HERE
Enough of that soft and slow s**t — let's get into the nitty-gritty. If you hear this song at the venue tonight, grab him / or her / or both and get to it. Your choice.
Dilemn – Always Continue: LISTEN TO IT HERE
Why is it that Paris always seems to be two steps ahead of everything else happening in EDM? Who knows? But if you can't beat em, join 'em
The Mekanism – Can't Believe (Mario Basanov remix): LISTEN TO IT HERE
Last, our favourite dinos …
Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs - Tapes & Money [SoundCloud Edit]: LISTEN TO IT HERE
AC Slater is Mr. Bass, and Mr. Bass is a joker. Here's a little clip about his preparations for a tour Down Under, for all you kangaroos.
Sometimes proper remixes need proper visuals — as for example, Gingy & Bordello's reworking of ZZT's "Work."

Dear OncoLink "Ask The Experts,"
What is the risk of lymphedema following a complete lymphadenectomy accompanying TAH BSO? How well documented, prospectively, is the occurrence of lymphedema in this patient population?
Christina S. Chu, MD, Assistant Professor of the Division of Gynecologic Oncology at the University of Pennsylvania Health System, responds:
The incidence of lymphedema following pelvic lymph node sampling and hysterectomy for treatment of endometrial cancer varies from about 2% to 11%, according to retrospective studies. The incidence likely varies depending on how much lymphatic tissue was removed.
See this previous question about lower extremity lymphedema.

Money Scams Snare Desperate Investors
By editor
The holidays are often a peak season for scams. In 2011, those swindles go far beyond the suspicious email asking for a helping hand or the bogus charity organization pleading for help. Regulators report a significant rise in the number of baby boomers who are targeted in investment scams.

Summary: This speech is suitable for motivating an audience to get their lives in order and get rid of the clutter that prevents this. It is suitable for any speaker to give either to students or to a general audience. It could also be used by a member of a group such as Toastmasters.
Sample Motivational Speech
For many of us the clutter in our lives is like white noise. It surrounds us, invading our personal space. There is no escape. Every room in the house is the same and we have let it overwhelm us. We need to be better organised.
We think enviably of those few very efficient people we know. Somehow they manage to fit in everything. How they do and still seem happy and sane is a mystery to us. We are rushed off our feet and late for appointments. We forget to pay bills and take back library books. We are constantly late with assignments and have to forgo pleasurable activities to keep up.
Life, it seems, to a great many people, is a constant state of chaos. The bizarre thing is this state of being is not in the least bit enjoyable or relaxing. Yet becoming that other organised person seems an insurmountable task. We do not know where to begin
We even laugh at the premise that there is a connection between organisation and happiness. Cynically, we write off those who are well organised as lacking something better do with their lives. They are clearly trying to compensate for the lack of something else. Yet when we visit their house or perhaps see their office desk there is something that nags at us.
Privately, we wish things could be that simple and clear. The truth is, our own rattled, exhausted and distracted state is the proof. It is a direct result of the disorganisation and chaos in our life. There is a direct link between organisation and productivity. There is a connection too between the clutter of our lives and all the goals we want to achieve.
Freeing ourselves from clutter will have an immediate effect on our lives. We will feel calmer and more relaxed. We will know where everything is. We will find ourselves being more productive. We will be more effective in the things that we do. We will feel more creative and spontaneous. There will be an increase in our vitality and at the same time we will feel calmer and more ordered.
There is no doubt of the very real direct link that exists between the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual aspects of ourselves. If one is out of balance, the rest suffer. Most of the things we can readily change are the physical ones in front of us. That means the clutter that we have allowed to build up around us. It overflows in our desks, places of work and in our wardrobes, kitchens and living spaces. It stuffs up our closets but our bedrooms and places of relaxation. It overflows out into the yard, clogs up our passageways and follows a trail down the basement and garage. We need to free ourselves. This stuff has to go.
Many of us can see the benefit here. We can appreciate the logic and the reasoning. Yet we still persist in thinking that there is some fundamental chemistry that separates us from the 'super beings' who manage to live, exist and even flourish in clean, tidy and ordered spaces.
The truth is there is no difference and you can be that person. We simply need to let go of all that 'stuff'. We know the logic we understand the science, but still we put off starting. There is an aspect of us that says, 'This might come in handy some day'. We really need to get a grip.
Deep down, this has no basis in reality. It is nothing more than a deep seated insecurity This is just a feeble excuse not to get started. We need to understand that insecurity for what it is. These people are closely related to the 'sentimentalists'. They hang onto every artefact from labels, newspapers, letters, to every picture their child has drawn. Not that these are stacked away somewhere special, they are often found stuffed in every available space.
Ask yourself what is important. Is it the past or the future? These artefacts need sorting out ruthlessly. Often such collections can be radically reduced, by simply saving the best or by 'scrap booking'. There are those who procrastinate, often thinking themselves as perfectionists not wanting to begin until tomorrow, or until they posses some as yet unidentified method of organisation. "I'll deal with that tomorrow," applies to dishes in the sink, housework in general, the clutter in the yard. The bad news for these types is that tomorrow has never got any more time than today. In fact it has less, as you will have lost today.
The best remedy is to begin now. 'Never put off until tomorrow the things you could do today', is a wise saying. 'Do it now,' boils it down a little further. The best remedy is action and we need to begin. Sure, you'd rather be doing something else but if you walk away now you will lose the day. It is a day that will never return and it will be lost to you forever.
Reschedule what you have planned. Better still make it a reward. Tackle this clutter, mess, heap of correspondence, one item at a time. Don't sit there not knowing where to start. Make out a list. It will the first of many, but already you will be freeing up your mind. Prioritise, that is work our what needs doing first, second and so on. Now choose where to start.
You are going to have to be ruthless. In your kitchen, in your office, at your desk and in your attic, things are going to have to go. Why? Because you need the space to relax and grow and finally start following your dreams.
This is not an exercise in punishment. It is one in liberation. Start a filing system, sort out those spices, go through that top drawer. Do you really need it? A good rule of thumb is if you haven't used it in a year, probably not. Don't want to throw it away? Instead of trashing it, why not recycle it? Think about what you could donate to the thrift shop/Red Cross/Salvation Army. Be ruthless, but in doing so you will be doing yourself a great kindness.
The truth is people who are organised have more time. They achieve more with that time. You can achieve far more if you are organised. It frees up other areas of your life. That means you have more time to spend on more rewarding tasks. You will need to devise a system, but think about this. The system you devise to keep things in order is a tool created by you, to free you. It is there to serve you, and not the other way around.
Organisation is a lifestyle choice. You do not stop when the sorting out is done. It is something that needs to be followed through. Otherwise the piles simply start to build up again. Create a filing system, have a place for bills, all the time be asking what can I deal with now? Once it is dealt with, it is gone. Leave it or ignore it and it begins to eat up space inside you.
Too much to deal with? Write it down, and prevent it from clogging up your head. Keep all your papers in a designated place. If you don't need it, recycle it, trash it or give it away. Start to use proven tools for organisation such as calendars, and filing systems. Tidy up your computer each day. Start to put things back exactly where you got them from. Encourage everyone who shares your space to do the same.
Organisation is not expensive, but THIS clutter is costing your dearly. Good organisation has underpinned all great enterprises from armies to industries. Organisation gets things done. It gives you time and the energy to do the really important things in life. Time is life, it is also a major irreversible resource. To waste time is to waste your life.
You simply must decide what you want from it and set your personal goals down. Do this for the short term, medium term and ultimately the long term. Getting organised will be your first objective and clearing the clutter is where you begin.
Cut the clutter - get organized
Cut the clutter, be organised
Throw out the rubbish and see
How much more you're able to do
How much happier you can be.
If you're on top of things
Life feels so very much better
Do you really need to hang on
To those old clothes and that old letter?
Clearing the decks for action
Is a naval saying, the attraction
Is that if you do, you will survive
By having room to shoot you'll stay alive
So clean up your act , de-clutter, get rid
And I guarantee you'll be glad that you did.
