Today's urban riverfronts are changing. The decline of river commerce and riverside industry has made riverfront land once used for warehouses, factories, and loading docks available for open space, parks, housing, and nonindustrial uses. Urban rivers, which once functioned as open sewers for cities, are now seen as part of larger watershed ecosystems. Rivertown examines urban river restoration efforts across the United States, presenting case studies from Los Angeles; Washington, D.C.; Portland, Oregon; Chicago; Salt Lake City; and San Jose. It also analyzes the roles of the federal government (in particular, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers) and citizen activism in urban river politics. A postscript places New Orleans's experience with Hurricane Katrina in the broader context of the national riverside land-use debate.
Each case study in Rivertown considers the critical questions of who makes decisions about our urban rivers, who pays to implement these decisions, and who ultimately benefits or suffers from these decisions. In Los Angeles, for example, local nonprofit and academic research groups played crucial roles, whereas Chicago relied on a series of engineering interventions. In each case, authors evaluate the ecological issues and consider urban river restoration projects in relation to other urban economic and environmental initiatives in the region. Rivertown is a valuable resource for urban planners and citizen groups as well as for scholars.

"From L.A. to New Orleans to Washington, D.C., America's urban waterways are in trouble. This remarkable book gets behind the history, politics, and science of the problem and suggests fresh and intelligent ways to reclaim city landscapes. The stakes are high: environmental stability, social justice, and (for some coastal areas) long-term survival."
—Robert R. M. Verchick, Gauthier-St. Martin Chair in Environmental Law, Loyola University New Orleans
"Rivertown is a significant and original contribution to the literature onthe restoration of urban rivers. It offers multiple case studies andviewpoints. Although all the contributors are strong advocates for riverrestoration in some form, they differ in their experiences, their ultimategoals, their levels of satisfaction with recent accomplishments, and theirsuggested approaches to the problem of wounded (or buried) waterways in ourcities."
—Patrick Malone, Department of American Civilization, and UrbanStudies, Brown University
"Paul Kibel's book recounts urban rivers in pipes, engineered to flowbackwards, locked in concrete, lethal to native fish, and forgotten in theneighborhoods of the poor. He does the valuable service of giving usinteresting cases on the new American frontier: returning the environment topeople who live in cities. The book describes a new hope for the citizen orprofessional who wants to improve the quality of life in some of the mostunlikely places."
—Ann L. Riley, Watershed and River Restoration Advisor, San Francisco Bay Region Water Quality Control Board

Wednesday's video of the day actually features the University of Massachusetts football team.
The team was meeting when two police officers walked in and specifically asked for two players.
A lot of tension was in the rooms until the players opened up two envelopes.
What was inside the envelope? A letter that said the coach had given them full academic scholarships for the year.
The players were stunned as their teammates celebrated their awards.

I ordered two of these rings as wedding bands a half size apart so I could wear one in the summer when my finger is bigger and one in the winter when it is smaller. Yow can see and feel the quality of these rings. Very happy with the purchase.
I am satisfied with this. It was delivered quickly and good quality.
Very happy with the look and feel of this ring. Very satisfied.
The ring looked and felt extremely cheap as if it came out of a quarter machine. I returned it right away.
I loved the look and quality, but unfortunately you have to know your ring size. I was size 8 normal, but comfort size should be a half or full size smaller. I had to send back.
Spending more for a similar ring at local jewerly stores is crazy! This ring is good quality, looks nice and shiny, and much cheaper than the local stores. We are very happy with our purchse, my fiance has never worn rings before and he's been wearing it around the house and thinks it's comfortable and he's starting to feel weird not wearing it. =) If anything happens to this ring, it'll be easy to come back to Overstock and replace it at a reasonable cost.

Have you ever had certain situations arise because of the series of decisions you made months, maybe even years, ago? Events that occur (or don't occur) and then later on down the road, you realize the big picture? It's like an "ah-ha!" moment, a "this-opportunity-was-waiting-on-me-for-the-ultimate-gain-of-others" moment. This is how the opportunity to lead TEDxIIT began. It was a web of events and connections that has changed my life forever and has allowed me to be part of something unstoppable at Illinois Institute of Technology.
I've always felt like I was part of something greater than myself, and therefore, everything I have involved myself in, I have wanted to be an extension and expression of the person that I am - connected, positive, creative, and adventurous. A few years back, I made the decision to transfer to Illinois Institute of Technology where I then was fortunate enough to meet Amy Lee Segami, an artist, engineer, and alumna of IIT. Amy presented her personal story to a small group of students and then helped us create "paintings on water," her signature artist expression. This moment is so memorable to me because I loved her story about creating and being an artist and each of us following our passion. I sent my mother my "painting on water" which she still has framed to this day. Fast forward two years, and I see a bulletin for a class called "Got Creativity: Tools and Strategies for the New Economy." I felt I had to take this MBA course. I felt like this would be the value I've wanted to get from my undergraduate courses. I was given permission to take it.
Amy reached out to Tom Tresser, the instructor for the "Got Creativity" MBA course, asking if any students were interested in bringing TEDx to IIT for a second year as a consequence of a turnover in the previous organizational team. There were about 6 weeks (including the university's spring break). We had no proposed budget, no speakers, no venue. Because I was both familiar with TED Talks and remembered Amy, I was enthusiastic to be involved. TEDx is so inspiring, and I wanted to share that feeling I get from watching a TED Talk with others. So, after several phone conferences, and having not much else but a purpose and understand of what we wanted to achieve, the planning and the gathering a great team began. This event was much bigger than me.
Amy, a TEDx speaker, TEDxIIT Founder, and IIT Alumna, and I began talking in February, and shortly after, I began talking to students and faculty I knew (and many times, those I didn't) to get to know who they were, to get a sense of their interest in TED, how they felt this could contribute to our university, and overall gauge support. Our very first meeting was attended by the university's Vice Provost, Associate Director of the Knapp Entrepreneurship Center, and about a dozen interested students. The energy was incredible, and the terms, Connector and Maven, used by Malcolm Gladwell in Tipping Point have been recurring thoughts. These people have been critical to the success of TEDxIIT and the continuity of the team.
After establishing the team, the expectations, and time commitment, we began. We met in person weekly, skyped, emailed, and were a transparent team. Because of the diversity of the team, our reach across campus and throughout the Chicago area was really incredible in the amount of time we had. We came up with a plan of speaker nomination and voting, hoping the speakers would be interested and available on such short notice. We were able to meet and gain support from the President of the University by creating a strategy and articulating why a TEDx event was unique to the campus; universities hold a lot of speaker events, and it was important for us to differentiate TEDx. We came up with a proposed amount needed to fund this free TEDx university event - which included printing materials, hiring audio/video, food for the all-day event, and other items. Our budget came to $15,165.45
As we held our breath for our budget approval, we proceeded with continuing the planning of the event. We voted on and confirmed our speakers and secured smaller sponsorships. Much like many organizations, we had committees, an executive board, tasks, and deadlines. However, we also had school projects, homework and a life outside of it all. Our passion and creativity, despite our time constraints and uncertain budget, persisted, and we wanted to work to make this event happen - make it memorable. All ideas were valued. We initiated some interesting things that started off as an "off the wall" thought, and we utilized our resources in creative, successful ways; we created a drink in conjunction with the IIT cafe, Global Grounds, called TEDxIITea which was a peach chai tea latte; with each drink sold, $1 would go to TEDxIIT. The drink was very well received. We also collaborated with our student radio station, WIIT, to talk about the event among executing other publicity ideas. Neither of which had been done by an IIT student organization in the past.
I must share that communication and transparency were key in the team's cohesiveness. All of us had plenty of other responsibilities, and we had to cover each other's backs, being open and honest about whether or not we could complete a given task on time. We communicated, and at times, we needed to delegate the tasks to others. I feel that hierarchy served their purpose for being a student organization, but each member was valued and a hierarchy was not how I wanted to lead. While we each had a role, none was more or less important than the other. If and when one member dropped the ball, it affected all of us. Yet, when that happened, it was important to know not to feel embarrassed or angry or any other negative emotion. Things fail, and people make mistakes. The key is to make adjustments, and to communicate issues to the members of the team - to be transparent.
At last, our finance decision was made - we were allocated $15,165.45 by the university - everything that we proposed for! This was an absolutely incredible feeling, as may be imagined. What this meant is that the university saw value in what we were doing and how TEDx's vision of many voices, one conversation was in direct alignment with Illinois Institute of Technology's strategic plan of many voices, one vision. We had the go ahead to create the type of TED experience that we wanted to share with the IIT community.
Saturday, April 14 was a rare occasion when the IIT community truly came together for a single event. The TEDxIIT 2012 speakers were: Daniya Kamran, a student who runs the Chicago Innovation Chase and director at Eurekatory with projects worldwide; Muhammed Fazeel, student-at-large who is a recipient of Illinois Governor Pat Quinn's "Fifty for the Future" Award; Debbie Vyskocil, Joseph Clair and Marc Hans, a Golden Apple Fellow, are IIT alumni; Tanya Cabera, staff; Tom Tresser, faculty; James Stone, a Harvard graduate and businessman, who is director of IIT Stuart Knapp Entrepreneurship Center; along with Nityananda Pran Das, a spiritual leader, and Onye Ozuzu, the chair of the Department of Dance at Columbia College. Leo Xiangyu Liu, a graduate student from China provided live entertainment.
As the speakers flawlessly weaved great stories taking examples from their professional as well as personal lives, the audience was completely engaged. The talks felt like conversations rather than speeches. Topics covered were: entrepreneurship, creativity, dance as a form of technology, as well as immigration laws and biofeedback mechanisms, among many others.
After Tom Tresser spoke about the idea of a Gift Economy, 75% of the audience stepped up and participated by offering gifts to fellow attendees – from teaching Chinese to a bread machine. The day was buzzing with excitement. Many people commented on James Stone's non-nonsense, straight forward ideas on ending the age of entitlement and Marc Hans' energetic and dynamic closing.
The diverse backgrounds of attendees were an excellent mix of professors, students from different majors, as well as alum – handpicked to represent the best of the IIT community. Other attendees included students from various universities (ranging from Loyola to Southern Illinois University in Carbondale), and residents of the greater Chicago area connected to IIT in various ways. Despite their diversity, they all had one thing in common – a love for inspiration and new ideas.
Many of the attendees and speakers expressed how much they had enjoyed themselves and how much they were already looking forward to TEDxIIT 2013! It was a very rewarding experience for all whom attended.
The days leading up to the event and the day of were full of anticipation and excitement. Immediately following the event, I went straight to the airport where I caught my flight to attend the first TEDxSummit in Doha!
An event of this magnitude was accomplished with a team of talented and dedicated students including, but not limited to, the student committee chairs: Phillip Cano, Samantha Gallo, Taylor Harvey, Harshita Iyer, Ryan Le, Luling Li, and Eduardo Ojeda. Some of which will be graduating.

Holding Steady: Craig Finn on Music, Minneapolis, and Headlining Rock the Garden

Hailed as "a born storyteller who's chosen rock as his medium" (Pitchfork), Craig Finn is many things: Springsteen acolyte, avowed Twins fan, Breck High grad, stand-up guy, and frontman for the Hold Steady. As Finn returns to his roots and readies the band to headline Rock the Garden 2012, I took a moment to catch up with him on music, the Twin Cities, and the shape of things to come.

The group's Sammy Tunis and César Alvarez weigh in on why they chose this form and how it kept their band together.

"MAN! Paul!" I bellowed at him.
"What?" He asked sweetly.
"You spilled milk all over my shorts!" I yelled.
"Now, are we crying over spilled milk, Collin?"
I could feel myself start to tremble.
"Dude... calm down, it was a joke."
"I don't find it funny," I groweled.
He glared at me from across the table, and I glared back. The rest of the pack sat silently.
"What's going on in there?" Sam called from the kitchen. When no one answered, he came around the corner. "Now, calm down, both of you. Emily will kill me if you ruin any sort of funiture in here."
I took calming breathes and closed my eyes. I only focused on the motions of breathing, nothing else.
Brady came back in then, helping Emily carry the groceries in.
"Hey," he said casually. "Whoa, what happened to you, Collin?"
"Oh," he dropped the subject. He set the bags down and faced the rest of the pack.
"You know, not everyone can be freakishly strong!" Emily called from outside.
We all got up and helped carry the rest of the groceries inside.
"Sorry guys!" Seth glided up the steps of the porch.
"Where have you been, squirt?" Sam asked.
"I'm not the youngest anymore," He looked at me and Brady.
"Haha," we said flatly. This is just the perfect start to another pack meeting.
"I was actually helping Leah and Sue get the roof fixed."
"What happened?" Jared asked, curiously.
"Well, before Dad..." His voice trailed. We nodded understandingly. Seth lost his dad, Harry Ctearwater, trying to find the red headed leech that was trying to get to Isabella Swan. "There was a weak spot in the roof. The huge storm that just passed? You know the one,right? Yeah, well, it knida just fell while we were sleeping. This morning, the house was practically flooded. Leah and mom mopped up the water and I patched the roof. Leah told me to come and fill her in on whatever she missed."
"Well, let's get started." Sam started the meeting. "There's a tourist group coming soon."
"Why is that of relevance?" Quil queried.
"It seems that where ever they go, so do disappearances."
"So?" I was bored.
"Would you guys let me finish? ANYWAYS, later they're found. Drained of all blood and in a dissaray."
"What do you mean?" Seth asked.
"Broken bones, bruises, missing fingers, arms... and every single one of them have another thing very similar. Two, what appears to be, puncture wounds, always about an inch apart, on the wrist, neck, hand... the list is endless of where they are found on the body."
"What are you steering at?" I asked, interested.
"I think they may have a vampire among them."
"There might be some psycho in those cities, trying to prove a point that mythical creature exist. There are a lot of reasons that those people are dead." Paul countered.
"But the interesting thing is, that once they leave that town, it doesn't happen again."
We were silent, mulling over the information presented.
"Why is it important to us?" Quil asked.
"They're coming to Forks."
"Well, that's interesting." We jumped at the sound of Jacob's voice. Renesmee in his arms.
"Is it going to hurt you, Jakey?" She asked in a small voice.
"I wouldn't allow it." He vowed.
My phone buzzed in my pocket, making me jump. I grabbed it out of my jeans.
"Collin, is that you?" My mom sounded like she was crying.
"Yeah, mom. What's amatter?"
She snifed. "There's a man here. He wants to see you."
"Tell her what I really want, b*$@!." I heard in the background.
My mom cried out in pain as something hit her.
"MOM!" I shouted.
"He wants you to come alone, to First Beach. If you come, Collin, I swear..."
"Mom what does he want?" I was frantic now.
"Give me the phone." My mother screamed and there was a thud on the other end.
"Who are you?" I groweled.
The man chuckled. "You'd like to know. My nephew is coming in a couple weeks."
"Why would I care?"
"He's different.-" away from the phone- "Keep her quite." Someone spoke on the other end. "I don't care. Threaten her or something, I DON'T CARE! Just keep her quite."
Mom: No. no, no, Please!
"Don't touch her!"
He chuckled on the other end.
"What do you want?" I asked furious.
"Meet me. First Beach. Five o'clock. Come alone, or she gets it." My mom's blood curdiling scream was cut short as he hung up.
I held the phone to my ear, replaying her scream over and over in my head.
"Dude, are you OK?" Seth touched my shoulder. I whacked his hand away and jumped up and immediatly took a defensive posture. "Whoa, dude calm down."
I looked at the clock on the wall. Four thirty six.
"What happened?" Jacob asked as he set Renesmee down.
Hot tears spilled down my cheeks. My mom was in trouble.
I looked at the face of my friends. I sat back down and let the tears spill down my cheeks.
"My mom's in trouble." I managed to choke out.
"What do you mean?"
I explained the phone call to them and they immediatly said they were coming.
"You can't."
"Why not?" Sam asked.
"He told me to come alone. If I didn't, 'or she gets it'" I quoted.
"Dude, that sucks." Paul said.
I wanted to tear his head off.
"We're coming,too. But at a distance." Sam qlarified.
It made me feel safer.
At five o'clock, I walked into the First Beach parking lot. No car or person was there, so I walked down to the beach.
Down by the water, was a body.
"Mom?" I ran to whoever it was. "Mom!" I called.
It was her. She was unconscious. Pinned to her shirt was a note.
Insignificant Dog,
We did not kill her, though her blood has a very delitful taste to it. Like sugar.
I want you to stay away from the tourist group that is coming here to Forks. In that tourist group, there is a boy. He's my nephew. My nephew was changed. He doesn't know it, but he kills people in his sleep. He wakes up in strange plaaces and doesn't know how he got there. If you or your pack of dogs lay a paw on him, I will return and not be as gracious to your mother as last time. I'm warning you.
I'm sorry we couldn't meet in person. But I had a feeling that your wolf friends would be here, like they are now. So, better to be safe then sorry. Hopefully we won't ever have to meet. If we do, that means that I'm going to be taking your life from you... or your mother's. Or both.
Your intruder.
I rolled my mother off of her side. Her eyes were closed and her breathing was slow. On her neck, were two punture wounds.
I was infuriated. I trembled and felt the shiver of heat run down my spine.
"Is she OK?" Sam asked as he approached me.
"Yeah. She just needs to get out of the cold."
"I'll carry her."
At my house, I handed Sam the short, but life threatening, note to him.
"What do we do?" I asked when he finished reading the note.
And for the first time, Sam said the three words I never thought he would say. "I don't know," he said.
Right then and there, I knew we were doomed.

The first robot was created in 400-350 BC, a steam-powered pigeon engineered by the mathematician Archytas. Since then, robots have captured our imagination. They embody innovation, success and progress, and they inspire our vision of the future.
National Robotics Week, now in its fourth year, helps us realize that we are already knee deep in the robotics era. Robots are cleaning floors, making cars, keeping our military safe, assisting in patient care, exploring the depths of the oceans and patrolling the skies. However, for the United States to remain a dominant force in this quickly growing industry, we will need significantly more skilled professionals in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) in the future.

The Southern State Fast Becoming Ayn Rand's Vision of Paradise
Stay up to date with the latest headlines via email.
The following article is part of AlterNet's ongoing series on poverty, Hard Times, USA.
If you're worried about where America is heading, look no further than Tennessee. Its lush mountains and verdant rolling countryside belie a mean-spirited public policy that only makes sense if you believe deeply in the anti-collectivist, anti-altruist philosophy of Ayn Rand. It's what you get when you combine hatred for government with disgust for poor people.
Tennessee starves what little government it has, ranking dead last in per capita tax revenue. To fund its minimalist public sector, it makes sure that low-income residents pay as much as possible through heavily regressive sales taxes, which rank 10th highest among all states as a percent of total tax revenues. (For more detailed data see here.)
As you would expect, this translates into hard times for its public school systems, which rank 48th in school revenues per student and 45th in teacher salaries. The failure to invest in education also corresponds with poverty: the state has the 40th worst poverty rate (15%) and the 13th highest state percentage of poor children (26%).
Employment opportunities also are extremely poor for the poor. Only 25% have full-time jobs, 45% are employed part-time, and a whopping 30% have no jobs at all.
So what do you do with all those low-income folks who don't have decent jobs? You put a good number of them in jail. In fact, only Louisiana, Georgia and New Mexico have higher jail incarceration rates.
From the perspective of Tennessee legislators, it's all about providing the proper incentives to motivate the poor. For starters, you make sure that no one could possible live on welfare payments (TANF: Temporary Assistance to Needy Families). Although President Clinton's welfare reform program curtailed how long a family can receive welfare (60 months) and dramatically increased the work requirements, Tennessee set the maximum family welfare payment at only $185 per month. (That's how much a top hedge fund manager makes in under one second.) As a result, the Volunteer State ranks 49th in TANF, just above Mississippi ($170).
Kick 'em when they're down or tough love?
In the Randian universe, it's not enough to starve public education and the poor. You also must blame the poor both for their poverty and for the crumbling educational system. If a poor child is failing it must be the fault of low-income parents. So how do you drive the point home? You take away their welfare checks if their kids don't do well in school, which is precisely what the Tennessee House and Senate are about to do. The KnoxvilleNews.com reports:
The bill is sponsored by Sen. Stacey Campfield, R-Knoxville, and Rep. Vance Dennis, R-Savannah. It calls for a 30 percent reduction in Temporary Assistance for Needy Families benefits to parents whose children are not making satisfactory progress in school.
More amazing still, the bill originally applied to all children of TANF parents, even if they were severely disabled. Realizing that they had gone too far, the bill was amended so that, "it would not apply when a child has a handicap or learning disability or when the parent takes steps to try improving the youngster's school performance — such as signing up for a parenting class, arranging a tutoring program or attending a parent-teacher conference." (Imagine the uproar if those provision were applied to upper-income parents, assuming any still use the public school system.)
Dennis told the House Health Subcommittee the measure now only applies to "parents who do nothing." He described the measure as "a carrot and stick approach."

What makes our wild rice with ham soup so special? It's no wonder I get asked this question regularly – it's our number one selling soup!
History This soup recipe originated in the early 80s in the St. Paul Byerly's deli. It was originally produced in small batches and packaged in mason jars. Lunds also made a wild rice soup, albeit a slightly different recipe with white and wild rice, and chicken.
A few years after Lunds and Byerly's merged, the company consolidated our wild rice soups and the Byerly's wild rice soup became standard in our delis.
How we make it This thick, home-style soup is chef crafted and produced by our team of expert soup kettle cooks. It's made in batches considered small compared to large industrial soup manufacturers, which allows us to develop the character, nuances and depth of flavor that can only be achieved by craft style production methods.
Of course all great soups come down to the ingredients. This soup is a meal in a bowl! It's rich and decadent, chockfull of wild rice, chicken stock, vegetables, ham, spices and almonds and, of course, lest we not forget, heavenly butter and half and half.
Using this treasure trove of great ingredients, we employ our chef crafted preparation instructions:
We taste every batch and test for the viscosity (thickness) and flavor characteristics to guarantee our customers will enjoy our soup each and every time they have a bowl.
The best part about this soup is after we've finished, it tastes like home. Your grandma's famous wild rice soup may have a strong competitor (sorry grandma). Enjoy our take on a classic Minnesota favorite!
Home cooking tips When making wild rice soup at home, determine whether or not you want cream or broth based, vegetable or meat. Then for the most part it is relatively similar to how we create our soup.
Sauté your aromatic vegetables and spices in some fat, then add your broth or cream or a combo of both, meat if desired and finally the wild rice. Simmer the soup long enough to develop the flavor and break the rice kernels to the desired texture (I recommend half way to retain some of the texture). If you cook the rice too long and completely break the rice kernel, it will get mushy and absorb too much liquid.
If you're looking for more ways to use leftover ham, be sure to check out this blog.
It was created with a simple goal in mind: to provide you with a heaping scoop of mealtime inspiration and food education from our passionate and knowledgeable staff. Our contributors come from every corner of our company and are truly experts in their field.

What every iPhoto user should know about image editing
We've covered the anatomy of the iPhoto interface, the ways and means of importing and viewing images, and the mechanics of iCloud's Photo Stream feature. This is all important information, but I know that many of you have suffered through these lessons with this single thought: "Let's cut to the chase, already. Show me how to edit my pictures!"
I hear and obey.
Before I dig in, allow me to preface the following with this: I am a photo dabbler. As such, I'll explain what I can from the perspective of such a dabbler. There are far more powerful applications you can use to edit your images and more interesting (and, in some cases, convoluted) ways to adjust them. Consider the following the first steps in image editing. I'll leave it to the pros to offer more-advanced techniques and tools.
The Effects tab
The Effects tab holds controls for making quick adjustments to exposure, contrast, temperature, and saturation. In addition, you can apply a variety of effects to "vintage-ize" your images. The tab's included elements are:
Lighten and Darken: With each click of these buttons, the image's exposure setting increases or decreases, respectively, by 0.10 on a scale of +/– 3.0. The setting adjusts only the image's exposure, not its highlights or shadows.
The Adjust tab
Apple places the Adjust tab at the end of your edit options because many iPhoto users prefer the easier adjustment options found in the Quick Fixes and Effects tabs that precede it. Were they to see the Adjust pane first thing after revealing the Edit area, they might be scared off and immediately click away with a "Holy smokes! That's too complicated for me!"
I assure you that it's not. Let's take a peek, section by section.Read more »

TDA or bust honestly, we need an impact player. selling short on dickey would be ridiculous
TDA or bust honestly, we need an impact player. selling short on dickey would be ridiculous
This is just the beginning. Let's keep it up. History is bound to repeat itself. Let's hope that this time it's for the best.

What I don't understand is the love for trumbo but the hate for JPA.
Trumbo is a rich mans JPA with no position.
One thing this brings up is that if the Mets' first intent all along has been to deal Dickey, then criticism of Alderson for not making other moves is baseless because clearly he was waiting to see what if anything transpired with R.A. and what players he might receive in return. Part of that also required the market to open up after free agents like Greinke and Sanchez, et. al. were under contract.
Bottom line is that the knee jerk reactions to the Mets walking away from the winter meetings without a significant acquisition were premature and intellectually irresponsible.
"The 90 wins is about challenge. It's about changing the conversation. It's about framing questions for ourselves as to how we get there. So I stand by the notion that we need to get better, and in doing so we need to set concrete goals for ourselves so that we have sort of specific conversations among ourselves about how we're going to get there." -- Mr. Alderson

Sherman is reporting that Dickey will not sign an extension with the jays.
I'll be extremely disappointed if we don't get TDA in a trade. It's not worth trading a guy like Dickey for so many reasons that have been overstated...unless if were for a can't miss prospect. The Blue Jays need to pay up.
Cmon Sandy get us TDA.
"Travis d'Arnaud was a "must have" during the winter meetings for a deal with the Blue Jays to happen, sources tell Andy Martino of the Daily News (via Twitter)"
The Mets are going to get TDA if a trade with TOR happens. In fact, they are gonna get TDA plus if he signs an extension.... watch!
I also think players like JPA and Trumbo who rely on power (HR) and don't get on base are inherently streaky.
If you remove JPA first month when he was one of the worst players in baseball for example he likely finishes with an OPS similar to Trumbo.
He also had an OPS of .767 post all star break. Do those numbers mean anything? Not in my book. Just the mark of a streaky player.

On May 9th, 2013 at approximately 1:15 PM the Kootenai County Sheriff's Office Recreation Safety Section, the Kootenai County Sheriff's Office Dive Rescue Team, the Coeur d' Alene Fire Department and Kootenai County Fire and Rescue responded to Lake Coeur d' Alene near Osprey Point for a reported injury boat accident. It was reported that three people were in the water after flipping over a canoe.
One of the subjects, who was identified as Jason S. Parker a 58 year old male from Coeur d' Alene, was able to swim to shore. The other two subjects, who were identified as Sierra R. Parker, a 32 year old male and Ronald G. Sever, a 65 year old male both from Coeur d' Alene were rescued by a Sheriff's Office Patrol Boat.
All parties were treated and released at the scene by medical personnel for the beginning stages of hypothermia. None of the occupants had life jackets available. It was reported that the occupants were in the water for approximately 30 minutes. Alcohol was a factor in the incident.
The Kootenai County Sheriff's Office would like to remind all boaters that if you venture out this weekend to enjoy the warm spring weather, make sure you have proper life jackets available. The water temperature on Lake Coeur d' Alene is currently in the mid 40s and hypothermia will begin to set in within a matter of minutes. Additionally, the water level on the Spokane River is low due to the Post Falls dam being open for the spring run-off. With the low water levels, hazards that are normally not an issue during the summer months are exposed. Boaters are asked to use caution when traveling up and down the Spokane River.
If you have questions about boating laws, boating safety questions or want to take a Boating Safety Class you are asked to contact the Kootenai County Sheriff's Office Recreation Safety Section at 208-446-2250 or you can contact us at www.kcsheriff.com.

KEWAUNEE, WI (WTAQ) - Three shipwrecks in Lake Michigan have been added to the National Register of Historic Places.
They include the Australasia near Door County, the America near Kewaunee County, and the EMBA in Milwaukee County.
The Australasia was the largest wooden vessel on the Great Lakes when it started on fire in 1896 and sank soon afterward.
Shipbuilders have examined all three wrecks to get lessons on various construction techniques.
The EMBA was a self-unloading barge. Officials say it still provides lessons on how to adapt self-unloading technology to conditions on the Great Lakes.

Staff and wire reports
Publication: theday.com
State police say a man has been found dead in a Willimantic home where a local officer was shot and wounded by a suspect who was later captured during a manhunt.
State police spokesman Lt. J. Paul Vance said Willimantic officers were ambushed Tuesday morning at the house while responding to a request for a well-being check. Officials say the wounded officer is in stable condition at a hospital with injuries that aren't considered life-threatening.
Vance says officers chased the suspect and took him into custody at 12:56 p.m. on Route 32 near an IGA supermarket. State police tactical team members were in place and involved in the chase and apprehension of the man, police said. Vance said the man had a handgun on him, and officers also seized a long gun.
The suspect is identified as Andrew Samuolis, 34, with a last known address of 31 Tunxis Lane in Willimantic. He was taken to Windham Hospital under state police guard. He was treated for dog bites he suffered when he was apprehended. The accused was discharged from the hospital and taken to Troop K in Colchester.
So far, Samuolis has been charged with breach of peace and interfering with an officer, though police said additional charges are pending. He is being held in lieu of a $1 million bond and slated to appear today in Danielson Superior Court.
State police major crime detectives are assisting Willimantic detectives in the ongoing investigation.
Officers went to the house in a residential neighborhood south of downtown Willimantic after 10:30 a.m., said a neighbor, Loretta Schultz. She said she heard three gunshots after police went inside the home, and the suspect ran out the back door into the woods, dressed in camouflage.
While police searched for the man, a news team from WFSB-TV reported seeing the suspect. The crew dropped to the ground when he started firing his gun.
Schultz, 32, said that after the officer was shot, police officers swarmed the neighborhood and told residents to stay inside.
Schultz said a man in his early 30s lived with his father in the house where the officer was shot. She said neighbors were becoming concerned because they hadn't seen the man's father in more than a month and no one was mowing the lawn.
"They are really, really quiet people. They keep to themselves," Schultz said of the father and son. "It's a very tight block. Everybody knows each other's business."

St. Augustine – If you've learned about centuries-old battle tactics by watching Hollywood interpretations of Robin Hood and William Wallace, don't bother bringing that knowledge to St. Augustine's School of the 16th Century.
The seminar, offered a couple of times a year, instructs participants in how soldiers of the era dressed, fought, ate and navigated their way around the New World. And authenticity is the star of this show.
"One of the first things we tell people is, 'OK, forget every movie you ever saw,'" says Chad Light of the Fountain of Youth, a professional re-enactor who portrays such critical Spanish explorers as Ponce de Leon and Pedro Menendez de Aviles. "Whatever you do, don't raise your hand and say, 'But in Braveheart, they did this.'"
From pike drills and horsemanship to how to navigate using only the stars, the seminar exposes participants to 16th century soldier life in one- or three-day training exercises. The next School of the 16th Century will take place over three days in January.
Information about upcoming offerings of the school is available at fountainofyouthflorida.com. Typically, one-day seminars are offered in July and cost $30; three-day seminars are offered in January and cost $150.
Some participants who complete the course are simply St. Augustine visitors looking for a hands-on learning experience. Others go on to use their re-enactment skills at venues around St. Augustine, from Castillo de San Marcos to the St. Augustine Lighthouse.
In fact, part of the schooling focuses on how to develop a historical personae.
"I think the evidence is self-evident, when you look at role-playing games and all the things people do," Light says. "Historical re-enactment is a more academic way of doing that same thing. Rather than pretending you're some pointless character in a computer environment, you have a chance to make it real yourself. It's a fascinating and interesting way to learn, both for the people who are portraying and for the people who watch them."
The School of the 16th Century is offered at the Fountain of Youth Archaeological Park in St. Augustine. Like so many sites in St. Augustine, the lush, 15-acre waterfront park is rich in history all its own: It was the site of a Timucuan Indian village before the Spanish arrived in 1513; later, when Menendez came ashore in 1565, he founded St. Augustine on the property.
Centuries later, the property became known as the Fountain of Youth when its enterprising owner, Dr. Louella Day McConnell, took advantage of St. Augustine's arrival as a tourist destination and began charging visitors admission to drink from the natural springs found on the site. But in the 20th century, archaeological digs uncovered evidence that the Fountain of Youth site had historical significance as more than just a tourist destination.
Light is the instructor at the park's School of the 16th Century, and his life experiences make him the ideal person to train others. Growing up, his father was a professor of history and ancient languages, and they commonly had antique arms and firearms hanging on the walls of their home.
When friends were learning Asian martial arts, Light was learning European martial arts from the medieval period. "My dad brought me into this as a child," Light says, "so by the time I was an adult I had an extensive knowledge, and that's been extended by formal training."
At the School of the 16th Century, students benefit from training by learning such skills as how to handle swords, tomahawks, muskets, cannons and matchlock weaponry. Students also participate in pike drills, involving legions of soldiers fighting with 14- to 16-foot piles with spear tips.
Typically, the class includes about 50 participants, but Light says he could accommodate as many as 150. "No commander in history," he says, "has ever said he had too many men."

What Are Career Pathways?
The high school to college and Career Pathways initiative helps match education and workplace needs through partnerships with post-secondary institutions, the school districts, business, and industry. Pathways identify and group courses within Career and Technical Education (CTE) areas of study that offer students depth of knowledge and skill, linked with specific post-secondary programs culminating in degrees or certificates.
In Utah, there are 62 Career Pathways within eight areas of study. A complete list of these pathways can be found in the Resources section of this website.
What Are The Benefits of Career Pathways?
Students use Pathways to investigate a wide range of career choices. Pathways make it easier for students to understand the relevance of required courses and select elective courses more wisely.
Parents learn what academic and technical courses their children need for college and a variety of career fields. Pathways and the high standards that go with them reassure parents that their children will be fully prepared for college and the workplace.
Teachers use Pathways to promote programs, increase student participation, and encourage students to persist in training beyond high school.
Schools use Pathways to organize to meet the demands of post-secondary education and the expectations of employers.
Employers partner with schools to contribute to the development of high academic standards that help students prepare for work and help workers keep their skills up to date. Employers gain workers who are prepared to learn new skills, adjust to technological change, and advance their careers.
We must give all children what they need to succeed in today's world.
- Bill Gates

Using your sick way of thinking:
c = a + b
So, if:
a = 5
b = 3
Then, c is very, very, very equal to 8, right?
Like this?
Sorry, find a doctor... NOW!

You are the sick one my friend, seeing sexual connotations in everything just shows how sick and twisted you are. Your focal point "tosser" has several meanings in England, in this context it means a lazy person, a waist of time, a looser. Take the Yankee word "looser" does this mean a person that has lost everything? he keeps loosing things?
You really need to get your head looked at.

Blaine and Birch Bay residents are invited to come enjoy a slice of pizza, get to know their current port commissioner and hear about the work that the Port of Bellingham is doing around the county.
Port of Bellingham commissioner Michael McAuley will host a meet and greet event from 5:30 to 7 p.m. on Wednesday, September 11, at Pizza Factory located at 738 Peace Portal Drive in Blaine.
Those who attend will be invited to join in an informal question and answer session and enjoy a slice of pizza and a beverage.
The meet and greet is part of a series of informal events at local establishments in rural Whatcom County to connect with voters and answer questions about the port's role in county-wide economic development as part of McAuley's re-election campaign.
McAuley has also scheduled another north county event in Birch Bay at Bay Cafe (7608 Birch Bay Drive) on Monday, September 16 from 5:30 to 7 p.m.
The port, apart from its transportation functions and infrastructure, is the only agency charged with fostering economic development and job creation in Whatcom County.
McAuley was first elected to the Port of Bellingham's district 2 seat in 2009 and is up for election in this November's general election.

Flo Rida spreads a dancing spirit in a music video for "Let It Roll". The Florida-born rapper does not make any appearance in the newly-released clip, but he calls a nerdy Keith Apicary, played by Nathan Barnatt, and assigns him to bring his track to the dance floor and lead people to shake their hips.
"Let It Roll" is another pop-inflected rap track which features a sample from Freddie King's rock 'n' roll hit "(Come On) Let the Good Times Roll". It was officially released on Monday, June 18 as the fourth single from the "Low" hitmaker's fourth studio album "Wild Ones", which is due in the United States on July 3.
Flo Rida samples Etta James' "Something's Got a Hold on Me" for the first single of the album "Good Feeling" and teams up with Sia Furler for the second single "Wild Ones". The "Who Dat Girl" rhymer has additionally confirmed that Jennifer Lopez, 50 Cent, Lil Wayne, T-Pain and LMFAO will be featured in the upcoming set.

In case you don't know someone's found a clever way of running IE 5, 5.5 and 6 on one box. A wee article about it is here:
or you can just grab the files you need here (probably won't be up for long I reckon):
All appears to work well enough, although I've certainly not tested them very much. Unfortunately it seems at least one valid box model hack fails as the browser still thinks it's IE 6. Still beats running through to the other room to use the old computer every 5 minutes. :)
Why didn't anyone (Microsoft!) release this sooner?

PHOENIX (KSAZ) -A 16 year-old girl is dead after suffering a heart attack. It's rare for someone so young to die of a heart attack. But authorities say it's what the teen drank in the hours leading up to her death that has some concerned."Anything can happen at any time, and it was so unexpected," said a friend of Lanna Hamann.Heartbroken and stunned, the friends of Lanna Hamann cannot believe that the healthy and athletic 16-year-old died this weekend of cardiac arrest."I learned from her every day, it's like, I'm not ready to say her name in the past tense, and I don't know if I will, she still lives with me and always will," said the friend.Friends say Lanna Mom was told her daughter had consumed several energy drinks while on the beach at Rocky Point with family friends on Saturday.Later in the day, she said she didn't feel well and was having problems breathing. She went to a clinic, but they couldn't save her, they say she died of cardiac arrest.Friends say she was the sweetest, funniest person, loved by everyone, they also mentioned her love of energy drinks.Valley cardiologist Jack Wolfson said the likely culprit in this case was high levels of caffeine and sugar in energy drinks."There is medical evidence that these things do harm, they can cause changes in the heart rhythm, and impact blood pressure," he said.Wolfson said that simply put, energy drinks are not safe."These drinks should be regulated as alcohol is, no one under the age of 21 should be allowed to have these drinks," said Wolfson.Hamann's family has been told it will take $13,000 to transport her body from Mexico where she died back to Arizona.They are accepting donations at http://www.gofundme.com/aevw30

It has been suggested the prospect Oiler fans should be most concerned about is Magnus Paajarvi. I think the prospect in real danger is Anton Lander.
- Wow, you really don't think he's going to deliver much offense. Last season was very discouraging.
- Did he score a lot in Sweden? He had a strong 19-year old season, his NHLE was 82, 14-20-34 after going 49, 11-15-26 in the SEL.
- And his season was that bad? It was a wasted year. What's more, unlike Magnus Paajarvi or Teemu Hartikainen, there's very little positive that we can draw from Lander's 11-12. It was not a good year in pretty much all areas.
- How did he get here? In rookie camp, everyone noticed Lander was quicker. Oilers Skating and Skills Coach Steve Serdachny: Anton has had incredible development. He's made incredible strides in his skating and his quickness, he has so many great intangible qualities and a fantastic individual. Foot speed, mobility, efficiency have been a part of his program and something he's been working on. This guy is a dedicated learner and working hard to become an Edmonton Oiler.
- That's all good! It can be. Kyle Brodziak took a big leap forward one fall, but he was an older prospect and his development took a more traditional path.
- So, Lander should have started in the AHL? Yes, of course. The hiring of Lander to play in the NHL was clearly someone or some group of people talking themselves into something. It has happened before, Oilers seem to do this to C's often.
- Who do you blame? Management and the coaching staff. When a young player is drowning early and often, find the range where he'll succeed and then let him gain confidence at that level. This isn't rocket surgery!
- Are there any positives? He didn't score in the NHL and he didn't score in the AHL. dawgbone found some positives here.
- You seem angry. Ah hell, I don't understand is all. Lander had a big time defensive rep, his resume sang like Doug Jarvis! And then they put him with Petrell, Eager, Hordichuk and that group. And they struggle horribly, but the Oilers get stubborn on him–with a mountain of prospects dying for the show–and keep him in the NHL despite overwhelming evidence.
- What do they do now? Put him in the AHL, and put him in a position to succeed. Perhaps a checking line with two veterans and Lander in the middle.

"As the MOH for my sister's upcoming wedding, I wanted to ensure her bridal shower was the absolute best it could be! When I came across this website, I was blown away with the options they offered and the level of customization you could do. These shower invites arrived exactly on the date I was estimated at (after a holiday weekend mind you!) and they came out so perfect and beautiful! I was over the moon thrilled by the quality of the invitation and have had several friends and family also comment on how beautiful the invitation was. Would highly recommend!"
"Chose purple background - beautiful choice, color as represented, paper quality excellent. Very happy with this product!"
"The card stock was good quality, we ordered the shimmer paper with the scalloped edges which made the invite all the prettier. Would recommend the white envelopes if using matching return address stickers and address labels. I ordered the gold envelopes which looked very nice with the invitation but after putting the stamp, return address label and addressed labels on gold envelope it looked tacky."
"I wanted to give a shower for the couple where couples as well as singles were invited Such an invitation was very hard to find but this one fit the bill perfectly. I had several questions about wording and the customer service reps couldn't have been more helpful. They made my lengthy wording work and the colors came out perfect. Also, the cards were ready well before the promised time. I have received many compliments on the invitation and will highly recommend your company to others."
