Greater Boston is the area of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts surrounding the city of Boston, consisting most of the eastern third of Massachusetts, excluding the South Coast, Cape Cod & The Islands. The area can be characterized as the metropolitan statistical area (MSA) or the combined statistical area (CSA), the latter which includes the metro areas of Manchester, New Hampshire; Providence, Rhode Island and Worcester, Massachusetts.
By contrast, Metro Boston is usually reserved to signify the "inner core" surrounding the City of Boston, while "Greater Boston" usually at least overlaps the North and South Shores, as well as MetroWest and the Merrimack Valley.
Greater Boston is tenth in population among U.S. metropolitan statistical areas in the United States, home to 4,552,402 people as of the 2010 U.S. Census and is ranked sixth among CSAs, having 7,893,376 people.[1]
Greater Boston has many sites and people significant to American history and culture, particularly the American Revolution, civil rights, literature, and politics, and is one of the nation's centers of education, finance, industry, and tourism, with the sixth-largest Gross metropolitan product in the country and twelfth-largest in the world.

Metropolitan Area Planning Council[edit]
The most restrictive definition of the Greater Boston area is the region administered by the Metropolitan Area Planning Council (MAPC).[2] The MAPC is a regional planning organization created by the Massachusetts legislature to oversee transportation infrastructure and economic development concerns in the Boston area. The MAPC includes 101 cities and towns that are grouped into eight subregions. These include most of the area within the region's outer circumferential highway, I-495. The population of the MAPC district is 3,066,394 (as of 2000), in an area of 1,422 square miles (3,680 km2),[2] of which 39% is forested and an additional 11% is water, wetland, or other open space.[3]
The eight subregions and their principal towns are: Inner Core (Boston), Minuteman (Route 2 corridor), MetroWest (Framingham), North Shore (Peabody), North Suburban (Woburn), South Shore (Route 3 corridor), SouthWest (Franklin), and Three Rivers (Norwood).
Notably excluded from the MAPC and its partner planning body, the Boston Region Metropolitan Planning Organization, are the Merrimack Valley cities of Lowell, Lawrence, and Haverhill, much of Plymouth County, and all of Bristol County; these areas have their own regional planning bodies. Northern Bristol County is part of Greater Boston, even though it is part of the Providence MSA.
New England City and Town Area[edit]
The urbanized area surrounding Boston serves as the core of a definition used by the U.S. Census Bureau known as the New England city and town area (NECTA). The set of towns containing the core urbanized area plus surrounding towns with strong social and economic ties to the core area is defined as the Boston-Cambridge-Nashua, MA-NH Metropolitan NECTA.[4] The Boston NECTA is further subdivided into several NECTA divisions, which are listed below. The Boston, Framingham, and Peabody NECTA divisions together correspond roughly to the MAPC area. The total population of the Boston NECTA was 4,540,941 (as of 2000).
- Boston-Cambridge-Newton, MA NECTA Division (92 towns)
- Framingham, MA NECTA Division (12 towns)
- Peabody-Salem-Beverly, MA NECTA Division (4 towns)
- Brockton-Bridgewater-Easton, MA NECTA Division (Old Colony region) (8 towns)
- Haverhill-Newburyport-Amesbury, MA-NH NECTA Division (Merrimack Valley region) (21 towns)
- Lawrence-Methuen-Salem, MA-NH NECTA Division (part of Merrimack Valley region) (4 towns)
- Lowell-Billerica-Chelmsford, MA-NH NECTA Division (Northern Middlesex region) (15 towns)
- Nashua, NH-MA NECTA Division (21 towns)
- Taunton-Middleborough-Norton, MA NECTA Division (part of Southeastern region) (9 towns)
- Lynn-Saugus-Marblehead, MA NECTA Division (5 towns)
Metropolitan Statistical Area[edit]
|Historical population
An alternative definition defined by the United States Office of Management and Budget, using counties as building blocks instead of towns, is the Boston-Cambridge-Newton, MA-NH Metropolitan Statistical Area, which is further subdivided into four metropolitan divisions. The metropolitan statistical area has a total population of approximately 4,640,802 and is the tenth-largest in the United States. The components of the metropolitan area with their estimated 2012 populations are listed below.
- Boston-Cambridge-Newton, MA-NH Metropolitan Statistical Area (4,640,802)

- Rockingham County-Strafford County, NH Metropolitan Division (421,939)
- Rockingham County, New Hampshire (297,820)
- Strafford County, New Hampshire (124,119)
- Boston, MA Metropolitan Division (1,926,030)
Combined Statistical Area[edit]
A wider functional metropolitan area based on commuting patterns is also defined by the Office of Management and Budget as the Boston-Worcester-Providence, MA-RI-NH-CT Combined Statistical Area. This area consists of the metropolitan areas of Manchester, Worcester, Providence, as well as Cape Cod, in addition to Greater Boston. The total population (as of 2012) for the extended region is 7,991,371. The following areas, along with the above MSA, are included in the Combined Statistical Area:
- Worcester, MA-CT Metropolitan Statistical Area (923,762)
- Worcester County, Massachusetts (806,163)
- Windham County, Connecticut (117,599)
- Providence-Warwick, RI-MA Metropolitan Statistical Area (1,601,374)

- Kent County, Rhode Island (164,843)
- Newport County, Rhode Island (82,036)
- Providence County, Rhode Island (628,323)
- Washington County, Rhode Island (125,946)
- Concord, NH Micropolitan Statistical Area (146,761)
- Merrimack County, New Hampshire (146,761)

Selected statistics[edit]
Greater Boston has a sizable Jewish community, estimated at between 210,000 people,[13][14] and 261,000[15] or 5–6% of the Greater Boston metro population, compared with about 2% for the nation as a whole. Contrary to national trends, the number of Jews in Greater Boston has been growing, fueled by the fact that 60% of children in Jewish mixed-faith families are raised Jewish, compared with roughly one in three nationally.[13]
The City of Boston also has one of the largest LGBT populations per capita. It ranks fifth of all major cities in the country (behind San Francisco, and slightly behind Seattle, Atlanta, and Minneapolis respectively), with 12.3% of the city recognizing themselves as gay, lesbian, or bisexual.[16]
Changes in house prices for the Greater Boston area are publicly tracked on a regular basis using the Case–Shiller index; the statistic is published by Standard & Poor's and is also a component of S&P's 10-city composite index of the value of the residential real estate market.

Jazz forward Paul Millsap, a former second-round draft pick who evolved into a franchise cornerstone, could play his last home game at EnergySolutions Arena on Friday night.
Millsap is one of nine players on Utah's roster who is not under contract for next season.
If the Jazz don't make the playoffs and Millsap does not re-sign this summer, the game against Minnesota will be his farewell.
Before practice Thursday morning, Millsap told reporters he had not considered the possibility.
When asked about it, however, he said, "It's been a long road — a long time being here. I've seen a lot and met some great people. Everybody I met has been a part of my growth and me getting better as a player and a person. So I owe a lot to this community and this organization."
Millsap could reach a career milestone against the Timberwolves. With 516 blocked shots, he needs two more to pass Ben Poquette for sixth place on the Jazz's all-time list.
If he gets there, Millsap will trail only Mark Eaton (3,064), Andrei Kirilenko (1,380), Greg Ostertag (1,253), Karl Malone (1,125) and Thurl Bailey (879).
"He's been a true pro," said coach Tyrone Corbin. "... He's been a great teammate and great member of this community."
Corbin praised Millsap's work ethic and ability to expand his game since the Jazz took him with the 47th pick of the 2006 draft.
"He's done a great job of understanding what he needed to do to be effective in this league," Corbin said.
No charity at stripe
If the best things in life are free, somebody needs to tell the Jazz.
With three games remaining, Utah is on track to attempt its fewest number of free throws in an 82-game season since 1979-80. Going into the Minnesota game, the Jazz have taken 1,817 free throws. That's 126 fewer than any Utah team has attempted in 34 years, not including the lockout-shortened seasons of 1998-99 and 2010-11.
In the past three games against Oklahoma City, New Orleans and Golden State, the Jazz have taken a total of 32 free throws. They didn't shoot any in the first half against the Warriors. They shot three in the first half against the Thunder.
"We need to get to the free-throw line more," Corbin said. "We can do that by driving and attacking the basket. ... It's a concern, especially with us being an inside team."
Marvin Williams, Burks should return
Marvin Williams (stomach flu) and Alec Burks (sprained ankle) missed Tuesday night's 90-80 loss to Oklahoma City.
Both are expected to play against Minnesota.
Burks was injured last week against New Orleans, when he grabbed a rebound but landed on the foot of Hornets guard Xavier Henry.
"I never hurt my ankle before," said Burks, who missed two games because of the injury. "It's tough, man. Your teammates are out there fighting, and you want to be fighting with them. It's tough to watch."

By Score Atlanta
Class AAA No. 1 Blessed Trinity has won eight straight games and will travel to Fort Myers, Fla. next week for the Perfect Game High School Showdown. The Titans defeated No. 8 St. Pius on March 29 in an important Region 6-AAA matchup. Pitcher Reed Scott tossed a complete game shutout in the 4-0 win while Nathaniel Maggio stroked a 2-run homer and C.J. Brazil connected on a 2-run double. … Despite losing catcher Jarrett Freeland, a Georgia signee, Class AAAAAA No. 4 Parkview has won four of five games heading into spring break. Like Blessed Trinity, the Panthers will take part in the Perfect Game High School Showdown in Florida. Parkview beat Archer Wednesday 5-3 as junior starter Christian Vann got the win after pitching three innings and striking out eight. Senior outfielder Micah Finley went 4-for-4 with three RBIs. … Class AAAA No. 3 Marist edged Columbia 8-7 in nine innings Monday as the War Eagles drew 17 walks in their victory. Marist pitcher Jordan Baker threw four innings and gave up three earned runs while Michael Toner came on in relief to throw three innings. In a 15-0 (three innings) win over Chamblee Wednesday, junior Sean Guenther earned the complete game shutout on the mound giving up just one hit. … No 10 Brookwood fell to Dacula Wednesday 5-2. Dylan Brown was clutch on the mound for Dacula, striking out six for the Falcons. Chance Keefer recorded the save for Dacula while also providing three hits at the plate. … Class AAA No. 2 Buford took advantage of six No. 3 North Hall errors to exact a small measure of revenge over the Trojans, who defeated Buford Monday. Jake Higginbotham earned the win in relief with seven strikeouts in three innings of work. … McEachern slipped past Harrison 4-3 as the Indians scored the game-winning run in the bottom of the eighth on a Harrison fielding error. Trey Harris had a two-run triple to tie the game before Jared Walker scored the winning run on an error by the Hoyas third baseman. … Kell also took advantage of a miscue to escape with a victory over Sprayberry. The Longhorns rallied from a 4-2 hole to win 5-4 after Bradley Taylor scored the game-winning run on a throwing error in the bottom of the seventh inning. Ryan Losito helped Kell rally with two hits and two runs driven in. … Osborne also won Wednesday by a 5-4 score when Martin Logan drove home Nile Goings with two outs in the seventh inning. Logan earlier crushed a two-run home run to help Osborne pull off the win. … Class AAAAAA No. 2 Walton crushed Cherokee 16-2 as Stephen Wrenn provided two hits and an RBI while Luke Manzo tallied five hits and drove home one. Henry Rowling got in on the fun with a three-run home run, part of a Raiders' eight-run first-inning outburst.

Redan's in that Perfect Game tournament as well you didn't hear them complaining about coverage, I know Cartersville always has a good baseball program but my question to you is would the major newspaper in Cartersville have an article about Columbia, Redan or any other metro team? I think not

Things I liked:is easy to handle
Things I would have changed:need a safety feature like the FWB P44
What others should know:BUY IT YOU GET YOUR MONEY WORTH IT
Things I liked:Great trainer for 22/45 bullseye competition. Has the feel of a real hand gun, vs. the heavy and long typical 10 meter air pistol. Trigger is excellent. Weight is perfect (with added rails and weights 120g total located out front). A world class PCP Pistol in a smaller frame. A pleasure to shoot!
Things I would have changed:$1200 price point would be better, include an option for a 2nd cylinder. Add a rail for mounting a red dot.
What others should know:The gap at the barrel sleeve to air cylinder is too small for mounting a clamp on scope mount like used with the Izzy's. Requires a female DIN adapter (yoke) if filling from a std. scuba setup.
Things I liked:Everything.
Things I would have changed:Nothing.
What others should know:I bought this to have some fun in a makeshift range I have in my basement. I've shot guns of all types my whole life but I'm not a competitive shooter. If I were, I might have more input on the pros and cons but for my needs, it's perfect. I've put about 1000 pellets through it and I love this gun. Great fun and will probably always be more accurate than I am. I also bought a Hill Mk III pump and it maybe takes me 2-3 minutes to pump the cylinder to 200 bar. Just a cosmetic note, the Piccolo I received has a black muzzle as opposed to the red shown in the pic.

Vandoren 56 Rue Lepic Bb Clarinet Reeds56 Rue Lepic is the address where Vandoren reeds were first produced and as such is widely regarded as the home of reed innovation. Designed from thicker cane, the 56 emits a rich, centered and extremely pure sound while providing maximum stability in all registers. Its quick response ensures precision in the most difficult passages without sacrificing the extraordinary round and warm sound.Precision is extended to the new numbering system that offers a more specific range of strengths in each box for consistent performance. The 56 Rue Lepic comes in humidity balanced factory fresh packaging so all reeds play as though you toured the Paris factory and selected them by hand at 56 Rue Lepic.
Order today with the no-risk assurance of our Total Satisfaction and Low Price Guarantees!
I was skeptic of claims online about it being a rounder sounding reed that the v12's. Out of the box, the v12's won in responsiveness+tone. But as I gradually, and patiently broke them in, I found these to be much warmer than the v12's. I have not yet decided if these are better than the v12's, I'd like to see what and how they sound like in an auditorium. From what I can gather in my home, I found these to more effective within harder walls, where I am able to receive a fuller feedback of what I am playing. The v12's sounded better in a room that doesn't reverberate as much. Based on my taste, not everyone is the same, I like the Rue Lepics. I just found a rival to the v12's.
The 56 Rue Lepic emits the most beautiful sound a clarinet can make. It is perfectly balanced between sound and articulation clarity. I would recommend the 3.5 thickness for the reed.
My teacher told me about these reeds and they are my fav's. I'm one of the better musicians at my school and these reeds are the reason why. Their incredible intonation and tone has amazed my friends and directors. Rock on Rue Lepics!!!
I wanted a reed that was slightly thicker than my current reed (3.5 V12) but still had a consistent stock within the box. Having used Vandoren for years, I selected the 56 Rue Lepic and fell in love. This is a great product that gives you the clarity of every Vandoren but is slightly thicker to make the transition easier.
First, the 56RL seems about 1/2 strength softer than V12. (The reed chart indicates only slight difference.) So "order up". While this is a bright and responsive reed with pure intonation, I find it is not as warm and full as others I generally use. A little thin-sounding on highest notes. Not what I want for most of what I play, but at times may be useful (think: Overture to Candide, for instance). The playability and consistency of reeds in the box are quite good.

Painting the Nude Female Figure Simply is designed to show students and artists of all skill levels how to create the nude female figure using a simple approach - The SVEC Method™. Developed by Kris Meadows, this approach relies on careful observation of Shapes, Values, Edges and Color as a way to help students and artists greatly improve the accuracy of their work. This straightforward approach helps minimize fear and maximize accurate results by focusing less on likeness and more on Shapes, Values, Edges and Color - all that is necessary to achieve a superb likeness when painting portraits.
Students are encouraged to ask questions, make appropriate comments regarding the process of figure painting as well as express concerns about the things they do not fully understand. It is in this dialog between the students and instructor that the mysteries and complexities of figure painting can be simplified in a way that each student will gain a greater understanding of the process involved. Figure painting is NOT impossible and by paying close attention to SVECs a likeness becomes much easier to achieve than one might expect. The instructor will provide a relaxed, fun and educational environment for all students attending this workshop.

WASHINGTON – Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA) President and CEO Rhone Resch made the following statement today following the release of Governor Romney's Energy Policy White Paper.
You are here
SEIA is the solar energy industry's go-to source for the latest coverage on solar power, including U.S. and international policy, research and polls, business and financing trends, and more. Our staff strives to support the media covering solar energy issues and guide our members on effective media outreach with clear statements, background materials, news and multimedia resources.
SEIA is committed to informing policymakers, the media, and the American public about the benefits of solar energy for today's communities, our economy, and our country.
Learn more from our statements and industry news below.
Solar Power Funding Healthy in Q2
Total funding in the solar energy sector amounted to more than $4.3 billion spread across 66 transactions in the second quarter of 2012, with strong results in venture capital funding, debt funding, and corporate funding in particular, according to a Mercom Capital Group report.
The Key to Exponential Solar Growth Is Virtual Net Metering — and Solar Companies
Renewable Energy World
On August 15, 2012, at 8 a.m., Colorado's Xcel utility opened up its registration for a new solar gardens/virtual net metering program. It took just 30 minutes to shut the doors on applications. The utility had received 13.5 MW in those 30 minutes, more than triple the 4.5 MW allowed. This excitement is one reason why I believe that community solar is the key to widespread U.S. solar adoption, but let's go through all of them...plus the challenges to it ever happening.
SEIA Response to Wall Street Journal Editorial
The Wall Street Journal
Regarding your editorial "The Solar-Painted Desert" (Aug. 14): Solar is the latest industry the Department of the Interior leases land to, just like mining, cattle ranching and other energy sources—no special treatment has been requested or received. More lands are off-limits to solar (79 million acres) than are available. For perspective, there are 74 million acres leased by on- and offshore oil and gas projects. Also, there are no shortcuts in the National Environmental Policy Act when it comes to project reviews and approvals.
Large solar array planned for Davis-Monthan Air Force Base
According to Ken Gray, the Rates and Renewables Branch Chief at the Air Force Civil Engineer Support Agency, Tyndall AFB, Fla., the array has to be built and generating electricity by the end of the year.
Americans Overwhelmingly Believe Solar Energy is Important
Most Americans, whatever their political stance, believe it is important for the United States to develop and use solar energy -- 9 of out 10, in fact, according to a national survey reported recently by the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA).
Enphase Energy Goes Public, Ends Solar IPO Drought
Enphase Energy will become the first solar company to go public on the U.S. market since the fall of 2010, when its stock begins trading on the Nasdaq on Friday under the symbol ENPH.

Ameren uses four different photovoltaic technologies with our solar energy project. Choose a date and view all four historical generation technologies simultaneously.
Each colored line represents one
of the four technologies (monocrystalline, polycrystalline, thin film, or monocrystalline

Because the installed capacity of each technology is different, we employ a "normalization" factor that adjusts each technology type to a common capacity that allows a valid comparison of efficiencies and output by type. Read more about our normalization formula.
If the generation output stays at the exact same level for a significant part of the day, this may indicate a "quality of data" issue.

Nick Lampson/Randy Weber debate (CD-14, TX) to replace Ron Paul. Some observations from an attendee:
The debate was well moderated and timed. They had 4 minutes to introduce themselves Then each got 1.5 minutes to answer 14 good questions. The first person to answer got to do a follow-up and they alternated who got the question first. The end of the debate consisted of 5 yes or no questions and then both provided a 2 minute summary.
At the end, it was obvious that Weber was running AGAINST President Obama and Nancy Pelosi, and that Lampson was running FOR his constituents. It was also obvious that Lampson was knowledgeable and well prepared for this debate.
My impression was that audience support favored Lampson by a noticeable margin. Nick just outperformed Randy on all counts.
Here is what Jim Vogas observed:
Nick was armed with facts and spoke with thoughtfulness and reason. Nick knew detailed information about the subject areas and offered specifics about how to make real improvements in the subject areas.
Weber was arrogant and a pure ideologue. Weber's answer to nearly every question on every issue was to somehow mention Obamcare and Pelosi. It got to the point where some audience members couldn't help but laugh at Weber's outlandish remarks. Weber showed a lack of knowledge on the issues, but it was also evident that he doesn't care about facts because he just opposes everything having to do with Democrats. It was clear that he will be another obstructionist adding to the gridlock.
Weber was even in opposition to the current NASA space program, even though he could not say anything that was specifically wrong with it.
Weber said it was okay to send the oil from the Keystone XL pipeline to overseas countries like China. Nick wants it refined in our district, adding to local jobs.

Global Warming Caused by Human Impact is Negligible
Global warming. The term evokes visions of scorching global temperatures, droughts of biblical proportions, deserts forming on an epic scale, and death for mankind. And yet synonymous with the term is that humans are solely responsible for this cataclysm. But is this really the case? The fact is, most people are simply not well enough informed on the subject or have not looked closely at the historical evidence. They are simply left to being persuaded by the negative dogma surrounding the subject that is being perpetuated by those with their own political agendas.....sorry Mr. Gore. The earth is a very dynamic planet, sure it may seem very static and unwavering, but you must think beyond your frame of reference. Our short lives are very insignificant compared to the life cycle of the earth. Ice core data taken from Antarctica reveal that for as long as the records go back, nearly 800,000 years, that the earth has experienced a cyclic pattern or warming and cooling that revolves on a 100,000 year cycle. We are currently in what is known as an interglacial period which is why the glaciers are receeding. In fact, they have been receeding for at least the last 15,000 years, well before human influence and the burning of fossil fuels. Accordng to the latest core samples taken from the sea floor under the Antarctic ice shelf, the glaciers have to melt much more to return to levels that were seen in previous interglacial periods. In February 2013, global warming activists were stunned by the retreat of one of their former UN scientists. Top Swedish Climate Scientist Dr. Lennart Bengtsson, formerly of the UN IPCC, declared CO2"s "heating effect is logarithmic: the higher the concentration is, the smaller the effect of a further increase." So let us try and mitigate our influence upon the earth the best we can, but most importantly, we need to accept that the earth's climate does and will change. Let us prepare for how we will deal with these natural changes when they occur

Jul 1 2013: So YOU are the guy who makes it possible for the TSA to X-ray my underwear! No wonder Al Qada want it that way! Makes sense to me!
Jake, I like the way you have set up this debate. This creature (thread) has gotten a good start & you are keeping it focused. I admire that. You are pointing out inconsistencies in the data & that works. But scientists cite the work of other scientists. They push each other around based upon the data. Then they go back & do more research. Scientists like to 1) be correct & 2) win debates & 3) win the Nobel Prize because they were right all along & saved the world.
Links do help, they work as citations to your data & are harder to discount or argue with. If you link to a noted climate scientist, that scientist is much harder to argue with. A climate scientist talking about how 'Climate Change is NOT real!' & how I should NOT believe in it - I would find that persuasive. But the data has to be from a science journal & not Fox News.
If you look at my comments above, I am confident that the scientists will ultimately win this debate. They just have to get their act together & agree. Economists are Economic Scientists. When they all reach the same consensus, that means the science leaves no room for the Politicians to argue about it. As I see it, that's what the economists did over the TARP debate. On TARP, the overwhelming consensus seemed to be: "Were screwed for now, but if we don't do TARP - we might be dead as far as the economy goes!" So they acted.
Comments invited here & below - teach me something, guys!

To recap what has been the never-ending baseball story that has dominated the week: ESPN's Outside the Lines reported that sources familiar with the investigation into the Miami-based Biogenesis clinic that Major League Baseball would move to suspend 20 players, including Alex Rodriguez, for PED-use. OTL also reported that MLB would try to suspend Rodriguez for 100 games. Not much more new information has come to light over the course of the last few days, true. However, we have had some time to think and marinate on the situation. The entire situation- largely based on unnamed sources being quoted, unseen "evidence", and the immediate emotional response by millions of people on social media- is convoluted, at best, but let's try and take a stab at some of the issues and questions raised by the latest (and if true, the largest in American sports) PED scandal to rock baseball:
Does MLB have enough evidence?
Let's be honest: yes, MLB wants to clean up the game and try and gain back some credibility for the future of the game that was destroyed during the steroid era.
However, it also is probably fair to acknowledge that as an institution, the league has been embarrassed in a very public fashion regarding three high-profile cases related (if only peripherally) to PED-usage: Roger Clemens, Barry Bonds/BALCO and, perhaps most infamous, the Ryan Braun chain-of-custody technical loophole that usurped a positive test. It isn't public knowledge what the league actually has in its possession in terms of evidence: texts, receipts, emails, phone logs directly linking Biogenesis to a player, not just an associate of a player?- but I think it would be fair to operate on the assumption that MLB is not prepared to undertake the largest league-led attack on PED use in American sports without adequate evidence. MLB has been embarrassed- very publicly, very badly- at least three, if not more, times previously.
Given the scope of the allegations; the number of players involved; the alleged "two-strike" approach: it would very much behoove MLB to have substantial evidence to corroborate the claims of Tony Bosch, not just his word- which can be very much in doubt in both in the eyes of an arbitration hearing and/or a court of law. Furthermore, the evidence better be as bullet-proof as possible. Let us not forget, Ryan Braun never contested the veracity of the failed sample within the cup, only the chain of custody of the cup itself- a technicality at best, especially since the cup was still sealed. MLB better have all its ducks in a row before going forward. In short: the league better have a smoking gun, or else should spare us the sham that it has the authority or power to actually punish users and make the sport as clean as possible.
Is there enough disincentive for players to not use PEDs?
Is the risk of using and getting caught get eradicated by the potential payoff of getting a contract based on inflated PED-induced results? MLB standard contracts do not include PED clauses, and do not become void upon a positive test (also the likely reason the Yankees will still be stuck with ARod's contract even if a 100 game suspension holds). The players' union would never approve such a clause- what if a clean player, not a star making a ton of money, had a false positive?
What if a $24 million/year guy had a false positive? That is a lot of dough to lose. If testing is inherently not perfect given that the makers of PEDs will likely always be one step ahead, how can MLB catch users before they sign mega-money deals? And if all money is guaranteed anyway, what is the point? What does the player lose, outside of a reputation? Zip. And a lot of money can make up for a tarnished reputation. Just take a look at Melky Cabrera- a positive test, a bogus website, and that offseason is rewarded with a guaranteed $16 million dollar deal. The reward is worth the risk, it appears.
Will Alex Rodriguez and Ryan Braun actually get 100 suspensions?
Of all things that are 100% clear, this is it: the players, and the union, will absolutely not take this lying down. Neither party is going to buy that this scenario warrants 100 games, the penalty for a second offense. In effect, the claims: 1) being involved with Biogenesis/using the substance and 2) lying to the league about the participation, are two halves of the same whole. One can't lie about involvement without being involved, and vice versa. It's the same offense. And again, according to all reports, there is no evidence (thus far) of any smoking gun or direct link to either Braun or ARod.
Short of Tony Bosch having receipts for money taken for injecting ARod in his home in Miami (which has been alleged to have happened), there does not appear (yet, anyway) to be a direct corroboration of Bosch's claims. Further, if we want to get technical, this is really only a first offense for both- Braun's test was dismissed as a consequence of the chain of custody issues, and ARod was never tested for anything other than a baseline test in the early 2000s as part of a broader investigation into PED use in MLB. Moreover, both of these tests were supposed to have been confidential, and were leaked, in a direct contradiction of the privacy meant to protect players who have tested false positive. (Again, Braun's attorney never questioned the content of the sealed container and the positive result so much has where it was/who handled it, and ARod admitted to using PEDs during his Texas days.) Ergo, those instances never existed in the eyes of the rules of PED use. In the present absence of evidence, the stretch of the "second offense," all boiling down to a he-said, he-said, it's likely that if any (hotly contested by both the most powerful union in all of sports and the most expensive lawyers money can buy) suspension comes down, it will only be 50 games, in line with a first offense. With so much at stake for the players, and given the exhaustive investigation and appeals process, this will be dragging for a while.
Will Alex Rodriguez ever play in pinstripes again?
I genuinely do not know. Not only is there no PED clause in a standard MLB contract, reports have indicated that there is no such clause, nor reference to, any PED usage or penalties in ARod's deal. In all likelihood, the Yankees are stuck with the contract, barring a mutually-agreed upon buyout. (Again, why would ARod agree? He is guaranteed the money, and $100 million dollars is a lot of money, regardless of the booing he will surely get. He can't be sent to the minors without his consent because of his service time, and he has a no-trade, and who would want him? He holds all the cards, folks.)
However, it is no surprise that ARod has fallen out of favor- with fans; with GM Brian Cashman, who had some strong shots at ARod to the media this weekend; and even with owner Hal Steinbrenner, who said that the organization was "disappointed" in Rodriguez. (It is still unclear as to whether or not the Yankees knew about the OTL report, as the comments were made the day before the news broke, and if the comments of both the GM and owner were related to the imminent OTL report.) The only relief the Yankees could get is a $15 million "refund" should ARod not play this season. Regardless of my personal feelings on the subject, I find it hard to fathom how he plays in the Bronx again, but I also don't know how he doesn't/where he goes/how they make him go away, either. I think we are past the point of, "I am sorry." ARod had his second chance; most thoughtful fans realize that his recent decline is the result of breaking down and advanced age, and that no person could ever live up to the contract he was given, let alone at the age he signed it/amount of money/expectations associated with it. That is not his fault. However, if the reports are true, and Rodriguez is connected to Biogenesis- he has no kick coming. The nail in his coffin will be of his own doing, and he has no right to expect any sort of sympathy, empathy, or forgiveness from baseball fans, not just Yankees fans, who he duped (twice)- again, if he is guilty.
As a baseball fan, do you even care about the PED storyline anymore?
I've put my thoughts down about the PED issue here. My central premise remains the same: I don't know if sports, not just baseball, can ever be truly clean, as much as I would hope them to be. As baseball became an important interest for me, Mark McGwire and Sammy Sosa were in the throes of hitting a combined 125 home runs over the course of the season. I grew up as a baseball fan in an era were PEDs were all over the game, and the league chose to look the other way (ironic, no?) in order to restore the game after the season-ending strike in 1994 that cost the league a World Series. I would like the game to be clean, but I don't see how.
I am sure more players are using than those 20 whom MLB will try to suspend- it's just that testing hasn't caught up to whatever drugs they are using. I want to add, "yet", but I don't know if that will happen, either. Until MLB actually has bite to the punishments- losing money? Banned from the game?- players will continue to use in an effort to get even one big check. As a fan to the league, don't talk to me about how tough you are on performance-enhancing drugs until there are actual punishments for players, where they really feel the sting enough to realize not to use PEDs again. Without actual teeth to the rules, they're just words, and make the game no cleaner. Spare me the dog and pony show. Either toughen up the sanctions, or stop pretending to care. Just don't assume fans aren't going to see right through the sham of policies and procedures (up until the news the other night) meant to clean up the game. Baseball fans are smarter than that. If you're going to do something about PEDs, MLB, then actually do it.
But that's just me- maybe I'm too much of an altruist. Maybe I am naïve enough to think that a clean game is a possibility. Maybe I just would like the guys performing these incredible feats- the long home run, the huge home run numbers, the 100+ mph fastball- to be achieved by a sheer force of strength and talent that I cannot possess and upon which I can only marvel. For me, more than anything, this whole mess isn't a "black eye" to me, it's just sad. It just takes away from a sport that I love above any other, and one that is beginning to be a punchline.
What about you, baseball fans? What is your take on this mess? Do you care? Do you have an opinion? Sound off below and tell us here at Yanks Go Yard what you think about the Biogenesis mess.

In full disclosure, I opened one flap of the box and saw that the bedding was mocha... not "taupe" and closed it back it. The box is labeled Mushroom and the manufacturer only makes this in 2 colors: lavendar and mushroom. So, I guess that means that mushroom should really be taupe. And their version of taupe is really more like mocha (light brown).
We order this comforter set due it's elegance. However, the tufts were not secured well and they began to "pop" even when I was gently making the bed for the first time. Additionally, the material is not soft and is itchy. I wanted to love this set but I will be returning it.
I think this comforter set is super classy and fabulous for this price point. I am really loving the purple for my bedroom, it looks great with grey. It is very warm also! I have a full matress and it fits juts fine on it. The bedskirt is also nice and stays in one place. The three extra pillows are of great quality and look very nice with the comforter.
Very pretty and I actually kept it when I should have sent it back. It was obvious that someone else had owned it before me and then had sent it back. It didn't take me too long to figure out why. All of the stitching comes out every time you make the bed. My mom spent 5 hours reinforcing all of the stitches or I would have sent it back. It is very pretty though and I get lots of compliments on it.
This set arrived and I immedialty put it on our bed. It is gorgeous! I kept going in my bedroom and staring at it and my husband was just as impressed. He stills says how much he loves it. It also fits with room to spare on our King sized bed. I got a great deal thanks to Overstock and their coupons!
The color is great and it's warm but should be used for show only. When making the bed and pulling up the comforter, the the threads break apart which creates the tufted look. So far, it has not torn the material but I've been very careful with it.
I haven't actually taken this out of the packaging yet; we are moving and remodeling so lots of stuff is staying in boxes, but when I opened some of the bag and saw the color and felt the fabric I was pleased! I'm sure I'll love it on our bed in the cold months.
I LOVE the dark purple color. It was exactly what I wanted. The quality is very good, though you have to be careful pulling the comforter across the bed because it's heavy and the sewn tufts can be pulled apart. I have a few that came undone, but I think I could sew them back up just fine. If you lift the comforter before pulling to one side, there won't be that pulling and they won't break. The fabric itself is high quality. I don't expect it to wear out anytime soon. The pillows are great too. I like to set up the bed just like in the pictures--it seems so fancy!
I don't usually review products but I Wanted to love this comforter but on the second day the stitching on tufts came apart. Usually very happy with O products..... disappointed
Nice comforter set. The quality is not as high as I expected.

Research Policy Analysis and Coordination
Citizenship and nondiscrimination
The university Nondiscrimination and Affirmative Action Policy states that the university does not discriminate on the basis of citizenship. UC, therefore, generally does not accept public and private sponsors' restrictions of research based on citizenship.
In select cases, narrow exceptions to this policy may be made:
- Where there are compelling circumstances in support of legitimate public interests bearing on individual job requirements, e.g. for classified research. The chancellor may recommend such an exception to the president for his approval.
- Where the restriction to U.S. citizens is placed on fellowship support for graduate and undergraduate students (so-called training grants) because such fellowship restrictions from governmental sponsors are considered to be consistent with legitimate government interests in promoting the training of domestic students and because there is no specific policy precluding this practice.
