The Phillies didn't have
much of a chance coming into the second half of the season. Whatever chance
they did have is slipping away and may be gone for good after their upcoming
four-game set with the unbelievably hot Braves. It may be as simple as the
Phillies just aren't good enough. That their offense looks better on paper
than on the field and they can't overcome the problems they have with their
starting pitching. I can take all of that. What I can't take is blaming it
on Ed Wade or the contracts the Phillies were burdened with coming into
the 2006 season. No. Ed Wade didn't make them give 15 starts to Ryan Madson in which he threw to a 6.61 ERA. Ed Wade didn't trade Vicente
Padilla without getting a player back that contributed. Those moves were
risks and they didn't work. I don't have a problem with risky moves,
even ones that don't work -- I like them a lot better than doing nothing. The Phillies are having a wretched season, but
it's their own wretched season, not Ed Wade's.
The Phillies lost their second straight game last night, falling to the Padres 10-6. The loss drops them to 42-50 on the year. They fall into third place in the NL East 13 1/2 games behind the Mets and two full games behind the Braves. If you haven't been following what the Braves have been doing of late, you should leave this site immediately and look it up. The summary is this -- they've won seven straight, outscoring their opponents in the seven games 77-32.
Ryan Madson got the start for the Phillies and was awful. He went 5 1/3 innings, allowing seven runs on ten hits and a walk. Five of the hits went for extra-bases, three doubles and two home runs.
In the bottom of the first, Dave Roberts led off with a ground rule double and Mike Cameron followed with a two-run homer that put the Padres up 2-0.
Madson kept the Padres off the board in the second and third and went into the bottom of the fourth tied 2-2. Mike Piazza led off with a home run to put San Diego up 3-2.
Madson started the bottom of the sixth with the Phillies still down a run, and things went badly. Single, walk, RBI-double, sac fly made it 5-2 San Diego with a runner on third and one out and Geoff Blum at the plate. Blum doubled, making it 6-2 and Franklin finally replaced Madson. Josh Barfield greeted him with an RBI-triple and it was 7-2 San Diego. Franklin did strike out Mark Bellhorn before getting Dave Roberts to ground out and end the inning, stranding Barfield at third. It was kind of a small victory.
Geary came in for the seventh with the Phillies down 7-5 and set the Padres down 1-2-3. His ERA dropped to 3.31 on the year and he's allowed just two runs on eight hits over his last 9 2/3 innings.
The Phillies added another in the top of the eighth to pull within 7-6 and Arthur Rhodes came in to start the bottom of the inning. The Padres got a single, a double and an intentional walk to load the bases with one out and pinch-hitter Josh Bard at the plate. Bard was hit by a pitch, driving in a run to make it 8-6. Dave Roberts followed Bard with another ground-rule double, scoring two more to make it 10-6 with runners on second and third and one out. Aaron Fultz came in to the game, intentionally walking Cameron to load the bases before getting Giles to pop out and Rob Bowen to ground out and end the inning. I assume the Phillies are trying to trade Rhodes, one of the four lefties in the pen. It might be tough, given his 6.07 ERA at this point. After throwing to a 5.79 ERA in June his ERA in five July games is 18.00. On the year he's allowed 38 hits in 29 2/3 innings. Fabio Castro has pitched four innings since the Phillies traded for him on June 29 and hasn't appeared in the last eight games for the Phils.
The Phillies lineup against righty Clay Hensley went (1) Rollins (2) Utley (3) Abreu (4) Burrell (5) Howard (6) Rowand (7) Bell (8) Lieberthal.
After going 1-2-3 in the first, Aaron Rowand got the Phillies on the board at 2-1 in the top of the second with a solo home run. The homer was Rowand's ninth on the year and first in 92 at-bats. Rowand made his spectacular catch against the Mets on May 11 and ended that day at 310/356/516 in 126 at-bats. Since then he has hit 229/299/382 in 147 at-bats.
In the third, Jimmy Rollins hit a solo home run, his tenth on the year, tying the game at 2-2.
In the fourth, Aaron Rowand got hit by a pitch for the third time in four days, but the Phillies did not score.
In the fifth, Pat Burrell struck out with two outs and runners on second and third.
Ryan Howard led off the sixth with a double but the Phillies didn't bring him around and went into the top of the seventh trailing 7-2. Nunez led off the seventh with a single and Rollins followed him with a double, sending Nunez to third. Utley singled, driving them both in, and Abreu followed Utley with a double that got the Phillies to within 7-5. With nobody out and Abreu on second, the Padres brought in Cla Meredith who got Burrell, Howard and Rowand to end the inning. Cla?
With the Phillies still trailing 7-5, David Bell led off the top of the eighth with a triple and scored on a pinch-hit ground out by Victorino to make the score 7-6. Rollins came up with a two-out double in the inning, his third extra-base hit of the game, but the inning ended on an Utley fly out to left.
The Phillies went down 1-2-3 in the ninth against Brian Sweeney.
Rollins was 3-for-5 with two doubles and a home run.
Utley was 1-for-3 with two walks and two RBI. His hitting streak extends to 20 games. He's at 439/468/684 in July. Last year Utley slumped at the end of the season, hitting just .251 in August and September.
Burrell was 0-for-5 with a big strikeout, leaving four men on base.
Howard was 1-for-5 with a double. He's 8-for-his-last-21 (.381) after starting the month 9-for-29.
Rowand 1-for-3 with a home run. I hope he knocks it off with the hit by pitches soon, cause he's starting to look like Rudy Stein out there, to the degree that's possible. Over his career he's been best in July in August, so let's hope he's heating up.
Bell 1-for-3 with a triple and a walk. He has been awesome in July. After slugging, really, .241 in 79 June at-bats he's been the Phillies' best non-Utley hitter in July, posting a 360/400/600 line in 50 at-bats. Despite having five doubles, two triples and a home run in those 50 at-bats, he's knocked in just five runs, so he's often lacking in ducks.
Lieberthal was 0-for-3 with a strikeout and left three men on base. His average on the season drops to .222 in 99 at-bats and he's on-basing just .257 and slugging .303. I expect Coste will catch Lieber this afternoon.
The Phillies try to salvage a game this afternoon as Jon Lieber goes for the Phillies. He will not face Chris Young, who has a problem with his foot, but 25-year-old right-hander Mike Thompson. Thompson will be recalled from Triple-A Portland to make the start. He's made nine starts for San Diego this year, going 3-2 with a 4.30 ERA. Righties are hitting .287 against him and lefties .228.

Handout: Parent Participation
Parent Information
As you know, we have rules for the kids, but we also have rules for us big kids. As a parent of a MadDog wrestler, everyone is relying on you to abide by the following guidelines...
Refrain from any form of bad sportsmanship not only because its wrong, but especially because kids will pick up on this and learn bad habits. Therefore, no negative comments about other wrestlers, officials, etc. No excuses. Accept the outcome of every match even if you know mistakes were made.
Do not get wrapped up in winning and losing. Kids do poorly under pressure and they will feel pressured if they sense that you are more pleased with a win. Look for what went well and do not criticize.
Do not coach your child (on the edge of the mat) unless you are an approved MadDog Coach with an IKWF Coaching card. Not only is this not tolerated by our organization, it can lead to disciplinary action by the IKWF.
Help us with safety factors by watching for the following...
Chewing gum while wrestling that could lead to choking
Any clothing that has zippers, buttons, snaps or any metal objects
Any jewelry
Injuries or skin conditions that could put your child or others at risk
Long finger nails

Just a little reminder/way to spread the word!
Our Senators voted 38 to 27 in approval for a referendum that will take place some time next year and give voters the opportunity to deny LGBT people the right to marry- a right they do not currently have in Minnesota to begin with.
The republicans here sure must have gotten tired of trying to creating a fully functional budget plan, and have instead devise a rather diabolical means of distracting voters and media attention to something far more controversial and popular.
Meanwhile, all that our local GOP have accomplished is assured that our roads and bridges don't get fixed any time soon, and that our public schools continue shutting down left and right, and that the Vikings will likely get a new stadium in Arden Hills.
So, spectacular.
[Rep. Ken] Fredette's bill, LD 1046, says that—unless otherwise indicated—a restroom or shower facility designated for one biological sex is presumed to be restricted to that biological sex and that a transgender person would no longer be able to claim discrimination under the Maine Human Rights Act if denied the use of the facility of their choice.
"This bill places transgendered children in a position of doom and hopelessness," he said. "This bill tells my daughter that she does not have the same rights as her classmates and reinforces her opinion that she has no future."
(CNN) — Gay rights advocates claimed victory Saturday after an administrative panel in California this week recommended not to discharge an openly homosexual sailor.
Although "don't ask, don't tell" is not repealed, the panel's vote is believed to be the first case in which the military chose not to enforce the controversial policy, according to a gay rights organization.
Petty Officer 2nd Class Derek Morado, 26, was facing military discharge after a comrade reported that he saw photos posted of the gay serviceman on Myspace kissing another man.
"I'm relieved it's over and I'm glad I get to continue serving," Morado told CNN on Saturday. "I've had plenty of time for the news to digest, but I'm still so relieved. I just want to continue doing what I have been doing [in the military]."
"This is the first hearing that's resulted in a retention where the discharge is not continued," said Robin McGehee, director of Get Equal, a gay rights group that publicized Morado's case.President Obama signed the "don't ask" repeal into law just before Christmas. But administration officials have said the actual policy change won't take effect until most training is completed throughout the military. Also, Obama, Defense Secretary Robert Gates and Joint Chiefs Chairman Adm. Mike Mullen must certify that the ranks are properly prepared and that readiness, recruitment and retention won't suffer.
In California on Thursday, a three-person panel at Lemoore Naval Air Station voted unanimously that the Navy not discharge Morado, the sailor said.
Morado, stationed near Fresno, California, said he was packing his bags and transferring to San Diego on Monday. "The timing just happened to hit while the case was going on."
Morado said his duties at his new location won't change.
Calls Saturday to the Navy and Department of Defense were not returned. But a Pentagon spokeswoman in an e-mail to CNN reiterated the military's stance on openly gay service members.
"The law commonly known as "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" remains in effect until 60 days following certification by the Secretary of Defense, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and President," Pentagon spokeswoman Eileen Lainez said.
But to McGehee and gay rights advocates who championed his cause, Morado's case proves that "don't ask, don't tell" may finally be over.
"Our hope is that this sets a precedent that we won't lose another soldier [to DADT] and we'll stop wasting taxpayers' dollars on this sort of thing and concentrate on more important matters of our military," McGehee said.
On Friday, a top Pentagon official said the repeal would be ready for implementation by midsummer.
Clifford Stanley, the Pentagon's undersecretary for personnel and readiness, told members of a House Armed Services subcommittee that the process will not be rushed "because we want to make sure that it's done right."
But "at the same time, we don't want to take forever to do it," he said.
Morado's case now goes to the Navy Personnel Command for procedural review, according to the Fresno Bee newspaper.
A Corpus Christi, TX school district has responded to a student's request to create a Gay-Straight Alliance — by shutting down all extracurricular clubs on campus.
Flour Bluff Intermediate School District's move comes after its high school gained national attention by blocking senior Bianca "Nikki" Peet's request to start a GSA. Hundreds of people have emailed the district on behalf of Peet through a Change.org petition, which was also linked to by the Gay Lesbian Straight Education Network (GLSEN).
Texas A&M's GSA, which has been advocating for Peet, had called for a protest Monday, Feburary 28, 2011.
But Flour Bluff ISD Superintendent Julie Carbajal, in comments to The Daily Caller on Friday, said that there is no chance that district will approve the purposed Gay-Straight Alliance. She also has requested that the student group Fellowship of Christian Athletes meet off campus until they can determine if they are adhering to the 2005 school policy that only student groups tied to curricula are allowed.
By canceling all extra curricular clubs on campus, Flour Bluff ISD hopes to avoid the Equal Access Act — a federal law, passed in 1984, that requires schools receiving federal funding to offer "fair opportunities for students to form student-led extracurricular groups, regardless of their religious, political and philosophical leanings." The district still maintains that they do not have to follow the Equal Access Law.
President Obama believes that the Defense of Marriage Act is unconstitutional and will no longer defend the 15-year-old law in federal court, the Justice Department announced today.
The decision, which stunned and delighted gay rights activists, means that the administration will withdraw its defense of ongoing suits in two federal appeals circuits and will leave it to Congress to defend the law against those challenges. It will remain a party to the lawsuits. The law itself remains in effect.
DOMA, signed by President Clinton in 1995, allows states not to recognize same-sex marriages preformed in other states and provides a federal definition for "marriage" that exempts same-sex couples. (more)
This is amazing, you guys! :D
If you listen to the National Organization for Marriage or the folks behind Cornerstone Action, you'd think that repealing New Hampshire's same-sex marriage law was the number one priority facing the state, and that an overwhelming majority of New Hampshire residents favor taking away rights from same-sex couples.
Neither of those two sentiments, of course, could be further from the truth. Exhibit A? A new poll by WMUR, which shows huge opposition to repealing marriage equality in the state. Only 29 percent of those surveyed said that New Hampshire's same-sex marriage law should be repealed, while a whopping 62 percent said that legislators should leave the law alone.
The Hawaii senate passed the final version of a civil unions bill with an 18-5 vote on Wednesday afternoon.
The bill will now go to Gov. Neil Abercrombie, who has expressed his support for the bill.
"Today is a momentous day," Sen. Clayton Hee said.

Remote Sensing is the acquisition and study of aerial photographs and satellite images. With aerial photographs, analysis is typically conducted on the features observed within these images. In the case of satellite images, not only do scientists have a visual record of an area, but also access to additional types of images by analyzing various forms of electromagnetic radiation (infrared, microwave, etc.)
Aerial photographs provide remote sensing scientists with a visual reference by which features can be documented. Specific information on objects seen in an image, such as the size of a particular feature, can also be ascertained through photogrammetry. With two specially coordinated images, a stereo pair can be produced that allows scientists to view a given area in three dimensions, which can also provide valuable information about an area.
Satellite images can allow scientists to view specific types of radiation that are reflected or emitted from a particular object or area. By analyzing this type of data, scientists can recognize patterns and relationships with features and the radiation they reflect or emit and changes in the environment can be observed over time.
Remote sensing is commonly employed to study the environment and its changes over time. Fields such as geology, forestry, oceanography, biology, and agriculture often use remote sensing data to address issues pertaining to the Earth's environment.

One of the top prospects in this year's draft, DE Ben D'Aguilar, has signed with the Calgary Stampeders.
D'Aguilar was highly rated heading into the draft but saw his draft stock fall due to concerns that he may have a future in the NFL.
The Stampeders selected him with the fourth pick in the second round (13th overall) and announced he has signed with the team last week along with other draft picks receiver Yannick Morin-Plante, fullback Charlie Power and offensive lineman Shane Bergman.

My daughter is now five weeks old and in the last week a lot of personality has begun to emerge. I think she's going to be rather mild mannered like her brother, perhaps even more so. She likes to sit/lay down and observe things for a very long period of time. My son, as he approaches age two, has a very long attention span compared to other children his age, to the point where we have actually considered getting him the game Candy Land for his second birthday, because we think he has the cognitive ability and the patience to handle it (or is very close to that level). Watching children's personalities emerge is amazing.

The Brilliant Book Of…1965?!
If you liked the Brilliant Book of Doctor Who 2011 and its recently published sequel, then you'll be pleased to hear of an interesting artefact that came up at auction recently and was purchased by one Paul Smith. Predating any other previous 'making of' book, The Wonderful Book of Doctor Who 1965 is in some ways ahead of its time, considering that on the surface it looks identical to the Brilliant Books.
It was discovered among the effects of the deceased designer of the book, Gordon Hamilton, and was apparently scheduled for release in October of 1964. For reasons unknown, perhaps because of its factually dubious content, the BBC decided not to proceed with the project and only one or two copies are known to exist; the one found by Mr. Smith and one that may well have been passed to Clayton Hickman to use as a template for the recent books.
Most of the information contained within is untrustworthy (especially considering there's one section that claims Ian is naked under his dressing gown during The Edge Of Destruction and it has William Hartnell saying that he deliberately flubbed his lines to make the Doctor seem senile) but it's still a good read and it's interesting to see how closely it matches the design of the present day books.
Featuring a bevy of fascinating "interviews" with the cast and crew, guides to every serial in the first season and lots more behind the scenes stuff, fans old and new will be sure to appreciate the book, which you can read for free as a digital publication. Like the content on the classic DVD releases, the information also comes in as a PDF for those of you embracing the future with your eReaders!
[Note: the book does not actually exist - it was written by the above-mentioned Paul Smith in the present day and was intended as an homage to the Brilliant Books. However, it's still an absolutely marvellous read, a superbly-executed project and it would be brilliant if something like this was actually uncovered.]
5 Responses to The Brilliant Book Of…1965?!
What a brilliant (pun intended) piece of work! If I were Hickman I'd look into seeing if this could be published officially, maybe as a bonus item with DWM or something. Very well done and worth the download.
Seconded – that's really well put together, superb! I've just started giving it a read and it's great!
Wonderful! Where can I order it from !
Ha ha ha ha, etc.

We live in stories all day long—fiction stories, novels, TV shows, films, interactive video games. We daydream in stories all day long. Estimates suggest we just do this for hours and hours per day—making up these little fantasies in our heads, these little fictions in our heads. We go to sleep at night to rest; the body rests, but not the brain. The brain stays up at night. What is it doing? It's telling itself stories for about two hours per night. It's eight or ten years out of our lifetime composing these little vivid stories in the theaters of our minds…
Stories are very predictable. No matter where you go in the world, no matter how different people seem, no matter how hard their lives are, people tell stories, universally, and universally the stories are more or less like ours: the same basic human obsessions, and the same basic structure. The structure comes down to: stories have a character, the character has a predicament or a problem—they're always problem-focused—and the character tries to solve the problem. In its most basic terms, that's what a story is—a problem solution narrative.
Why are stories that way? On one hand, it may be obvious to you that stories are that way, that they're problem focused. That's the first thing you would learn in your first day of creative writing class. You get there, your teacher would say, "Hey, your story has to have a problem, a crisis, a dilemma, otherwise no one's interested." But if you think about it, it's not at all obvious that stories should be that way. You might really expect to find stories that really did function as portals into hedonistic paradise. Paradises where there were no problems and pleasure was infinite. But you never, ever find that.
Why are stories so trouble-focused? You have quite a bit of convergence among scholars and scientists who are looking at this from an evolutionary point of view, and what they're saying is that stories may function as kind of virtual reality simulators, where you go and you simulate the big problems of human life, and you enjoy it, but you're having a mental training session at the same time. There's some kind of interesting evidence for this, that these simulations might help people perform better on certain tasks.
So in the same way that children's make believe helps them hone their social skills, it seems to be true of adult make believe, too. If adult make believe is novels and films, it seems they're entering into those fictional worlds and working through those fictional social dilemmas actually does, as hard as it may be to believe, enhance our social skills, our emotional intelligence, our empathy. That's kind of a neat finding. Maybe stories have a function as a simulation of the big problems of life that helps us cope better with those problems when we do experience them."—http://edge.org/conversation/the-way-we-live-our-lives-in-stories

I just (less than 1 month ago) purchased a .22 Ruger Mark III. As I have finished each box of Golden Bullets (550 rounds) I've been putting the box tops in a pouch in my gun bag. When I got home after shooting last night, I counted the box tops and found that I had just finished my 9th box! If I continue at that rate (if my wife doesn't leave me first) I would have put over 60,000 rounds through this pistol in one year.
What kinds of volume have other shooters put through their guns? Have the guns suffered much from such high volumes of ammo?

I haven't shot anywhere near that much. But, if your wife does leave you it will at least give you more time to shoot! Of course you could always take her with you and double your shooting fun....
Say, doesn't Ruger give away guns if you collect enough box tops? If it's good enough for cereal, why not guns?????
Wow, I've never shot a new gun that much. But it sounds like you're having a great time with your new gun which is the point of buying such a gun in the first place. Just explain to your wife how much more shopping she'll be able to do since you're saving so much money shooting inexpensive .22 ammo! I have an ancient .22 semi-auto that has many thousands of rounds through it and haven't had a problem. Ruger seems to have an excellent reputation for quality .22's.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WHAS11) – A new study has found that a growing number of people are skipping needed medical care because they can't afford it.
A survey done by the Commonwealth Fund found 80 million people didn't go to the doctor or access other medical services last year because of the cost.
That's 5 million more than two years ago and 17 million more than in 2003.
Those who were uninsured or had inadequate health insurance were most likely to have trouble affording the care.
The numbers are expected to improve as more healthcare reform provisions take effect next year.

WASHINGTON (AP) - A company that makes car safety seats is recalling nearly 3.8 million of them because children can get trapped by buckles that may not unlatch.But the action by Graco doesn't satisfy federal regulators, who say the recall should include another 1.8 million rear-facing car seats designed for infants.The recall covers 11 models made from 2009 through 2013 by Graco Children's Products of Atlanta. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, it's the fourth-largest child seat recall in U.S. history.But the agency criticized Graco in a letter today, saying that the recall excludes seven infant car seat models with the same buckles. It says the company and the government have received complaints about stuck buckles on those seats -- and that parents have sometimes had to cut harness straps to remove their child.Graco says its tests found that food or beverages can make the harness buckles sticky and harder to use. A spokeswoman says the rear-facing infant seats aren't being recalled because infants don't get food or drinks on their seats. She says the company will send replacement buckles to owners of infant seats on request.
Affected models include Cozy Cline, Comfort Sport, Classic Ride 50, My Ride 65, My Ride with Safety Surround, My Ride 70, Size 4 Me 70, Smartseat, Nautilus, Nautilus Elite and Argos 70.

Brad SimonMar 21 2011: Professor Rosling,
Thanks again for another informative and inspiring lecture! I've been a big fan of your data visualizations ever since watching your earliest TED lecture several years ago.
Can you recommend other good data visualization and interactive sites to better understand topics such as global energy uses and sources or total food consumption and production, among many other topics? It would be a great learning tool to be able to see such top-level data and then drill down by country or GDP-levels in a fully interactive way such as Gapminder. I know of some good static sites (www.nationmaster.com) with excellent data but has anyone put together the kinds of interactive visualizations on these data as you have with health and GDP (and other metrics)?
On a side note, I taught as a volunteer in a rural Kenyan high school over 20 years ago and I can tell you that my absolute least favorite activity was washing clothing. I always ended up spending the better part of the day on this activity and more often than not had bloody fingertips by the time I was finished. And I was just washing for one!
Mar 21 2011: Hi Brad,
I could not agree more. www.nationmaster.com is a very good site that has done a great job to bring data to the many!

Our patient was known to be combative at times, so we were on our guards. As we sat her down, she looked up scathingly at me and said, "you're the devil, girl!" Then, she looked equally scathingly towards my nurse and stated, "You're the devil, too! But you do have nice hair."
We laughed for hours!!!

One thing I learned on that ward was that alot of the patients developed a really "wicked" ("GOOD"/sharp/profound )sense of humor, similar ro the original M*A*S*H* movie, ie: what might sound appalling to an outsider was massively funny to an insider. I was standing in a four-bed ward room; there were 3 paraplegics and one quadraplegic. Well, they were talking about sex and having a penis transplant above their level of injury, so they could feel things again. Everyone was hoo-ha-ing about wearing a cumberbund or an obi-sash, and during a pause in the conversation the quad piped-up and said rather plaintively " But I'll have to wear an ascot for the rest of my life!" After a brief moment of silence while everybody processed that image, we all broke out in howling laughter, screaming-hysterically until tears ran down our faces and our cheeks and stomachs protested by cramping. Of course the retelling doesn't hold the same humor of the moment, but still. And one other thing, a quad I took care of for years used to say he had to be a professional quad and teach caregivers how to take care of him, since all spinal-cord injuries cause different problems and physical responses in each patient. For Christmas I got him a t-shirt with the following written on it: I AM A PROFESSIONAL; PLEASE DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME; He told me later it was one of the best presents he ever got, and he did wear it ALOT! Another kid (para) used to get a large charge out of wincing and saying "OUCH!" when I was doing anything to his feet, from footcare to just putting on his shoes.

This book stands out among other books that cover the topic of community ecology because of its integration of many concepts into one unifying theme: forest communities. It addresses forest in southern Asia, North America, and southern Africa. The book takes the reader through food chains in each of these temperate forests around the world, emphasizing patterns and similarities. . . . [U]se this book as a supplement to lessons covering food chains/food webs, life cycles, or even biomes. Reading level is appropriate for the intended audience (grades 2–5). The book would be a smart addition to a classroom library for use in a community ecology unit.

Im proud to say, iv never used healbot, or grid, anything like that. I just use the standard UI with DBM. To me people, who use addons to make your job easier, makes you less of a healer, and your not healing the way the designers intended you too.
Just Sayin.
Don't get me wrong, whatever floats your boat. But i think every healer would benefit from healing without the addons.
Al in SoCal said...
You're no BETTER or worse than someone who does play with addons. Thanks.
You can't say "whatever floats your boat" and also say "it makes you less of a healer."
Either say, you're fine with people doing whatever they want, and you don't care.
Or, say that its a crutch, and they are not as good as you.
They are mutually exclusive views, however, and render your comment a bit useless.
Actually, you're wrong. Blizzard designed the game with the intention of allowing users to alter the interface in simple ways. That's part of what makes WoW so great. Find some part of the interface awkward or clumsy? Design a addon to simplify it or find one that already exists.
Blizzard intends for users to customize their interface so long as the addons operate within a set of fixed rules. Using addons, whether for healing or any other purpose, is condoned and even encouraged by Blizzard in their game design for WoW.
Nopunin10did said...
I would say you're only halfway correct. You do benefit, as a healer, by learning to do it the hard way. By forcing yourself to use the default raid frames and keybinding your heal spells, you train yourself to be quick on your clicks... and you realize the seriousness of missing a heal by just a split second.
But then, after you're proficient in that manner, it's time to look into a better interface. Whether you use Grid, Xperl, Healbot, and/or Clique (or something else entirely), you will be a better healer for it.
From a simple human-computer-interaction standpoint, a better healing interface means a speedier reaction time... and thus a better healer.
So yes, running without addons, you can still be great. You could even be the best healer in your guild. But you could always be better. Don't be so full of yourself that you can't see that. And mastering a better healing interface is one step towards bettering your performance.

>To me people, who use addons to make your job easier, makes you less of a healer, and your not healing the way the designers intended you too.
I use two addons to heal: Grid and Clique. I don't think it makes me any less of a healer to not have my screen cluttered by a 25 big rectangles instead of 25 small squares. In fact it allows me to see more of the game then the default UI does. It also removes the huge number of buffs and debuffs that I don't care about and lets me choose to only display the ones I do care about.
And clique is awesome because it lets you set up keybinds so instead of selecting a player and pressing "3" to heal, "4" to cleanse and "5" to put a bubble on them, you hover over the little box and then right click, or shift-click, or alt click to do the same thing without even changing your main target. It's the same thought process, but with less keystrokes so you can do more in less time.
The bottom line is that the default interface gives you too much information to filter through and forces you to heal inefficiently, but macros and addons allow you to spend less time figuring out what's going on and more time actually healing. Which is a good thing as far as I'm concerned.
jv_gdesign said...
I healed 25 man heroic ICC without special unit frames for the first few months. It wasn't until I was assigned to dispels on Heroic Rotface that I finally took the time to do my UI. Before, I was searching all my frames for the debuff logo. Now their raid frame glows orange when they have the debuff.
Could I heal heroic ICC without the frames? Yes, and I did. And I did a damn good job. But my unit frames now give me so much more information than I had with the default. And the fact that I can condense them to take up a smaller allotted space allows me to see all 25 people without moving my eyes. I think this is the biggest benefit of all. My raid awareness has increased drastically.
I've never healed with addons so i might not know what i'm missing, but so far i've never had any situation where i thought something like grid would better my experience.
Do people who have addons automatically have less skill? I have no clue. That needs research. There's nothing claiming that's correct or incorrect yet.
"And clique is awesome because it lets you set up keybinds so instead of selecting a player and pressing "3" to heal, "4" to cleanse and "5" to put a bubble on them, you hover over the little box and then right click, or shift-click, or alt click to do the same thing without even changing your main target."
You don't need Clique to do mouseover healing, FYI. You can do it with mouseover macros. On my healer (granted, only a 55 Priest), I use Grid + macros that use a fall-through targeting priority that starts with @mouseover.
(Note: I'm not saying Clique is a bad addon--I've never used it, but I hear great things. I'm just saying that Clique isn't required for mouseover healing, as long as you're okay with using keybinds instead of mouseclicks.)
"To me people, who use addons to make your job easier, makes you less of a healer, and your not healing the way the designers intended you too."
I'm sorry but you are terribly wrong. If you think Blizzard designers intended for you to use the stock UI then please explain to me why they implemented an API that allows people to create 3rd party addons. Why did Blizzard develop the "World of Warcraft Interface AddOn Kit," which helps with the creation of addons, especially for beginner developers? Why is there an official "UI & Macros" forum where people can discuss the development of addons.
And also, just for good measure, the splash screen that you are presented with when you open up the official addon kit states, "The World of Warcraft interface is customizable! AddOns allow the game to look and behave the way you want."
Blizzard made the stock UI so you could play the game out of the box, and that's about the extent of what they intended you to do with the stock UI.
In conclusion, you can sit on your high horse all day, and say you are a better healer, hell, maybe you are, but I'll still out-heal and out-dispel you any day.
With that said, I would -never- allow you to heal in a progression raid that I was in if you're not using Addons. Hard Mode fights are, for the most part, simply too fast-paced and frenetic not to use a healing UI. I wonder how you would have healed Yogg-Saron without a healing UI to allow you to quickly dispel the many debuffs on the fight - and most people will tell you that effective dispelling is actually what wins that encounter.
visitingl337n00b said...
I'm sure I could heal ICC quite competently without any add-ons at all, but I think it would be silly to do so. I certainly don't think I could lead a raid as effectively or alert others to important information about the fight.
The metaphor of a crutch is extremely inappropriate. People walking with a crutch usually walk more slowly than people who don't need crutches. This is not at all the case for healing with addons. If you feel addons are somehow unfair then compare them to performance enhancing drugs if you must, but the people in the best guilds in the world use addons. People who heal with addons heal better than people who refuse to use them.
But furthermore, addons don't just makes things easier, they can also challenge you by giving you more information than you could possibly get with the default UI. On heroic Sindragosa I decide where to stand and who to heal and with what spell based on the number of stacks of Mystic Buffet that everyone in the raid has. On heroic Lich King I need to be looking at my environment to determine the relative location of the necrotic plague target and the ghoul pack, as well as shadow trap locations, and without having all the other information I use (tank health, incoming heals, who has shield and weakened soul, time to next infest, whether anyone has aggro on a ghoul, boss health percentage) in one compact box I would just have to make decisions based on less of that information because doing the wrong thing quickly is better than doing nothing at all while you think about it.
Use addons to get more information about what is going on and use that information to make better decisions. If you aren't using addons you are choosing to get less information than you could have. That's not to say you can't be very good, because you can. But most likely you won't be as good as you could be.

Russia: Efforts to blame al-Assad for Chemical Attack are Baseless
Moscow: Attempts to blame the Syrian government for chemical attack are baseless. Several Russian Ministers have already spoken about the UN report on the use of chemical weapons in Syria and the ongoing accusations against the Syrian government that it would have used chemical weapons against Syrian civilians, although the released report by the UN inspectors blames nobody and even includes some contradictions as well as the confirmation that the so-called "Syrian rebels" have fabricated one of the chemical attacks in order to deliver a pretext for the United States to launch a UN-led military intervention in Syria.

Syria: UN Report on Chemical Weapons mentions nothing new
Ban Ki-moon: Political solution needed for Syrian conflict. While the government of President al-Assad in Damascus submitted new evidence for the use of chemical weapons by the terrorists in Syria to the Russian administration, Syria's Permanent Representative to the UN, Bashar al-Jaafari, said in a new statement that the released report by the United Nations (UN) and their experts on the investigation and the analysis of samples from areas near the Syrian capital Damascus about the use of chemical weapons would mention nothing new and that the Syrian government has repeatedly forewarned of.

Syria: New Evidence prove Terrorists used Chemical Weapons
Syria hands over new evidence for the use of CW agents by terrorists to Russia. While Washington and Moscow still argue about the upcoming resolution of the UN Security Council (UNSC) on Syria in regards of the inclusion of the partly dangerous Chapter 7 of the UN Charter, which would allow the use of military force to "restore international peace" again, there are also different views on the information and published analysis of the samples from the suburbs of Syria's capital Damascus in the UN report by the team of experts and by the laboratories.

Syria: No CW Agent in Samples from Muadamiah
UN report: No chemical weapons traces in samples from al-Muadamiah. The published UN report by the chemical experts of the United Nations (UN) about their investigation of places near the Syrian capital Damascus in terms of the use of chemical weapons in the Syrian conflict and on the results of the laboratory tests of the samples from Zamalka, Ain Tarma (Ein Tarma) and Muadamiah makes it clear that no traces of chemical weapons agents were found in the samples taken in the Muadamiah, which is located in the south-west of Damascus.

Syria: UN Report implies tampering of CW attack scene?
Syria / Chemical Weapons: Attack scene may have been manipulated. The UN report of the investigation on the use of chemical weapons (CW) near the Syrian capita Damascus was finally published and there are some contradictions in the report by the chemical experts of the United Nations (UN) and the lab tests of the samples from Ain Tarma, Zamalka, and Muadamiah.

BiographyPittsburgh native William McNally has been musically inclined since the age of three, and began his formal piano studies at age seven. Shortly after his ninth birthday, he performed for the first time in Carnegie Hall's Weill Recital Hall as a winner of the AMSA World Piano Competition; he has since played there three more times, once in Stern Auditorium as principal bassist of the Mt. Lebanon H.S. Orchestra, again in Weill Hall in a solo piano recital as winner of the Artists International competition, and most recently in Zankel Hall as director of two opera-shorts presented by the Remarkable Theatre Brigade.
A multifaceted musician, Mr. McNally has been widely recognized as a ragtime pianist and composer. He is the first three-time winner the World Championship Old-Time Piano Playing Contest' New Rag Contest, and has appeared at ragtime festivals around the country. A CD release follows his particular interest in modern and classically trained ragtime composers, including Bolcom and Godowsky; currently, Mr. McNally is writing his doctoral dissertation on the reception history of revival-era ragtime composers.
Three more CDs are on the horizon for release; Mr. McNally has recently finished a recording of works by Brahms, Reger and Busoni, and a CD of Bolcom, Albright, Stravinsky and Mr. McNally's own compositions is forthcoming later in 2013. Lastly, Mr. McNally recently was awarded an Elebash Research Grant to record – for the first time – the complete solo works of novelty-pianist Arthur Schutt, programmed alongside compositions by Vincent Matthew Johnson and Art Tatum.
In the spring of 2008, Mr. McNally inaugurated the Music4MS concert series, in an effort to raise funds and awareness for Multiple Sclerosis. He produced, directed, performed on, and wrote program notes for the series, which featured some of the brightest rising stars on the classical scene.
Mr. McNally is a veteran of numerous summer festivals, including Aspen Music Festival, Music Academy of the West, and Mannes' International Keyboard Institute and Festival. In the summer of 2010, he received a fellowship to attend the Tanglewood Music Center. There, he collaborated on a premiere dance performance with the Mark Morris Dance Company, coached with musicians including Emanuel Ax, Peter Serkin, Dawn Upshaw and Oliver Knussen, and his performance of George Perle's Concertino for Piano, Winds and Timpani was hailed as a "powerful performance" by the New York Times. Mr. McNally's affiliation with Pianofest in the Hamptons spanned five seasons, where he was named Dean of Students. The roast chickens he produced there still garner raves.
With his wife, fellow pianist Daria Rabotkina, Mr. McNally studied at the Mannes College of Music, receiving Bachelors and Masters of Music degrees in piano performance. Following Mannes, he received a second Masters degree from Temple University, this time with a double major in piano pedagogy and chamber music. There he studied piano with Harvey Wedeen and collaborative piano with Lambert Orkis. He has performed in the master classes of such artists as Sergei Babayan, Claude Frank, Paul Schenly, Peter Serkin, Arie Vardi and Earl Wild, to name a few.
Recently, Mr. McNally served as Adjunct Professor of Piano and Artist-in-Residence at Temple University and taught at Settlement Music School. Currently he is in pursuit of a Doctorate of Musical Arts Degree at the City University of New York's Graduate Center as a recipient of an Enhanced Chancellor's Fellowship; there he studied with Ursula Oppens. He also serves as a teaching fellow at the Aaron Copland School of Music at Queens College, and is on the faculty of the New York Music and Arts School.

Like the title says, is the guild full? I thought I saw somewhere that it was, but I couldn't find it again. If it sn't, should I just ask in chat for an invite?
Is the GB Guild Full?
I think it filled up a week ago, I saw the last five invites go out. That being say, I don't know how fast the drop off rate is. Can't hurt to ask once in a while. I think I was just in the chat channel 'giantbomb' and someone was handing out invites there.
Aww okay, guess I'll try asking in chat every now and again.
But now I actually have another question. I accidentally pressed the 'x' on the GiantBomb chat tab, and closed it. But now I can't find it anymore. There's one channel, but I think it's literally called '[138] GiantBomb', instead of just 'GiantBomb'. Anyone know why I can't find the real one anymore?
I think that's the amount of people in it.
@tomorrowman: I don't think so. Because whereas the channel tab previously said 'GiantBomb', this one says '[138] GiantBomb'. And on the right hand side, it lists all of the people in the chat right? Because before, there was a gigantic list of usually a hundred+ people. And on this channel, it's just me.
@masterlink43: they're bugged right now for some reason, in the quick look, Vinny clicked "Create channel" and called it Giantbomb and that worked.
@benny: Yeah, I just saw a post about it on the dev forum. I got it working by joining through the console. Thanks man.
I think the problem is that they prepend the number of players not just to the displayed channel name but to the name of the channel you connect to. So you actually create an entirely new channel. So joining the GiantBomb chat with 100 people creates a new channel '[100] GiantBomb'. And joining that one creates another one: '[1] [100] GiantBomb'.
This edit will also create new pages on Giant Bomb for:Beware, you are proposing to add brand new pages to the wiki along with your edits. Make sure this is what you intended. This will likely increase the time it takes for your changes to go live.

I'll try to make this long story short. I first met Joe when he was basketball coach at Armington and I was basketball coach at Heyworth. When I left coaching, I became a salesman wit a major company and a basketball referee. Joe hired me to referee games at Robertson Fieldhouse where Joe was then freshman coach. Joe encouraged me to become active in Bradley basketball. I was later to become a member of the Bradley Chiefs Club. I was elected Vice-President and next in line to be President of the club until Joe was terminated and some resented that I was not a Bradley graduate. I also led the fundraising drive that raised the most money in the club's history. Dick Versace succeeded Joe and fund-raising went ballistic.
When Joe became head coach at Bradley, I was among Joe's strongest supporters. I was one of four (Jim Maloof, Bill Roecker and I believe Grant Bush) who met with Dr. Jerry Abegg, President of the University to try to save Joe's job when so many felt he needed to be replaced. Dr. Abegg agreed to let Joe coach another year. When Joe didn't do some of the things Dr.Abegg requested he do, strong alumni convinced Abegg to terminate Joe.
I supported Joe to the end of his coaching career which came after he was removed or retired from being head coach of women's basketball. I had hired Joe, Jr. and Jim; later gave them my stock portfolio, hired Bradley graduates that Joe recommended; Dana Davis, Bob Humbles, David Booth, etc. Joe and I met for coffee frequently, went fishing, went to various places to play the horses or poker. Joe was later arrested in a high stakes gambling group, one in which I had never participated.
When I was elected to the Peoria County Board at the age of 75, I turned my stock portfolio over to Joe, Jr. Jim had handled some of my investments but when he and several others left en-masse to join another brokerage, I turned down Jim's request to transfer my funds to his new firm.
Jim was not happy
But Joe, Jr. promised me great returns, 20% a year on my investments so I foolishly transferred my stocks and laterr my Annuity to him. I was given an $11,000 bonus to do so. Soon my investments started to go downhill. Joe, Jr. increased my 5000 share investment in World Com to 12,000 shares. He recommended Adelphia highly so I bought. Both went broke. I was losing money on buys and sells rather rapidly.
I also quickly had paper losses in my Annuity totaling over $30,000.. I became quite worried and met with Joe, Sr. several times. He complained that he was not making enough money even though as an example he charged $1000 commission on a sale of 2000 shares of GE.
I became suspicious of what type of investments Joe, Jr. was making so I called his companies home office. They made a review and said my investments were classed as "high risk". I had specifically told Joe, Jr. that even though I checked the "aggressive bar" on the contract at his suggestion, that this was my fall back money as I had no pension. That aggressive meant a winning style and always has had that meaning was interpreted by Joe, Jr., to permit him to make risky investments. After all, it wasn't his money. I also told him I was devoted to job I was elected to and did not have the time and energy to research investments for my money.
I depended on his recommendations to be in my best interests.
I made the decision to transfer my account, leaving the Annuity with his firm. Joe, Jr. was quite upset. But it was my money and I was more upset. Considering the amount of money I had lost both in dollars and on paper, I took my files to an attorney who recommended suing both Joe, Jr. and his company. The case was later settled out of court and I'm told Joe., Jr. eventually left that brokerage. Why he left that position is only speculative.
Some years later, Joe,Jr, filed for bankruptcy. It is quite unusual that a broker handling other people's money, goes bankrupt. It also became apparent that none of the family wanted to hear my side of the story.
My too late advise to others is seldom put your savings in the hands of friends but in the hands of those with the most proven track record; a mistake I regret making more than once.
So it came as some surprise that my arrest, first ever, in Sarasota on a "staged" misdemeanor, hit all the news media in Peoria within a couple of days. I was released within a couple of hours from non-confinement on $120 bond. Eight months later, I have yet to have a hearing and none in sight. Unfortunately, I had to hire an attorney but he is very capable as he was once States Attorney for Sarasota.
This is where the real revenge of the Stowell's began. Joe, Sr.called me and asked to have back a low cost Bradley Brave wrist watch he had given me 30 or more years ago. He also suggested I had borrowed a shotgun from him 40 years ago and never returned it. He had admitted he had lent the shotgun to others. Then I was able to secure a copy of an email Jim Stowell had sent to all the medias in Peoria of a clipping that appeared in Sarasota's version of the "National Inquirer". He wrote that the clipping had been sent to him by his brother Jerry, now a teacher in a Sarasota middle school. Jerry Stowell, some may recall, was head basketball coach at Metamora High School before he took a middle school teaching position in Sarasota. Records of why he left Metamora are confidential.
Jim tried his hand as being an elected governmental official and was not successful.
My "activist" shoulders are broad. Few know the research I do on what is happening in this community, the State of Illinois, my country and world events. I earned no "brownie" points on my position as to why the ball park would have trouble succeeding, why the RiverPlex would strain Peoria Park District's budget while competing against private enterprise with taxpayer dollars, or why the PRM would be an attendance and financial failure, why Peoria County shouldn't own the museum building, etc. Or why Peoria School District would suffer from outside interference like the State and Federal government, a too large unpaid board, and an unforgiving union. (Read my dozens of blogs on the subject).
Few know the real story of my life. But many are interested in reading about other people's misfortunes. (The medias have made me their favorite "whipping boy" especially the Journal Star) Few suffer personal attacks for things that remain hidden in their "closets". Yes, my judgment at times may not be as good as I get older, hard of hearing and with less energy and at times, patience. Many of my successes are largely forgotten and overshadowed by half-truths and personal attacks on me. I still have many friends but many friends and supporters are either dead, moved out of the area or are in some type of home they may not prefer.
Some of my "yesterdays" were not what I envisioned and "tomorrow" may not be what I envisioned either. I am not alone. However, I am always ready to start a new day, hopefully optimistic, but wary of the future. It's hard to believe I will be too soon approaching 90 years on this planet. This blog that I thought long and hard about posting, is my 2500th+ post since learning how to use a computer in year 2004.. All older posts are available to read by using the search bar appearing on all my posts.
When I was a 19 year old farm boy just drafted into Post WW2, I had no idea that one day I would attain to being one of Peoria's most successful business man (my name has stood on a business I founded for more than 50 years) a political servant and ending my days in some sort of personal and media generated notoriety.
Good grief!

The touch-screen menu system is good for those who don't make a lot of changes. In other words, it's responsive, but can get a little confusing for those unfamiliar with Sony's Menu and Home buttons. Pressing Menu gives you access to context-sensitive shooting options, and Home gets you access to everything else. The main problem with this is remembering what functions rest where. (Fortunately, Sony put the menu tree in print in the manual that comes with the SR47.) With little practice, though, the system makes sense and even full operation--not just point and record--becomes simple.
|Sony Handycam DCR-SR47
|White balance
|Auto, Outdoor, Indoor, Manual
|Scene modes
|Auto, Twilight, Candle, Sunrise & Sunset, Fireworks, Landscape, Portrait, Spotlight, Sports, Beach, Snow
|Auto, Manual, Spot AF, Tele Macro
|Color effects
|Lens cover (auto or manual)
|Accessory shoe
|Video light/Flash
This camcorder was designed for hassle-free recording and as such doesn't have a lot of extra shooting options. A majority of my field testing was done with the SR47 set to Auto for white balance, scene selection, and focus and it performed satisfactorily. There are more scene options if you chose to get specific and the same goes for white balance. Also, should you want to be more hands-on with focus and exposure, you can control both by touching the spot onscreen you'd like the camcorder to draw its information from.
For its low-end status, the SR47 performs reasonably well. It has an instant-on option that gets the camcorder powered up and ready to record very fast simply by opening the LCD (not an uncommon feature, but nice nonetheless). The autofocus is responsive, but when zoomed out it does hunt trying to focus, particularly in low-light conditions. The rated battery life for the included pack is 90 minutes of continuous shooting; expect less if you're frequently turning it on and off and reviewing clips. Extended life batteries are available, one of which Sony claims has a life of up to 11 hours of continuous shooting.
Video quality overall is very soft; the only time a somewhat sharp picture was obtained was in Tele Macro mode. Clips also display quite a bit of noise and digital artifacts until you scale down to YouTube-size dimensions. This includes noticeable purple fringing around subjects. If you still live completely in a low-resolution world, recordings are destined for video-sharing Web sites, or simply want to capture the moment no matter how it looks, the SR47 will suffice. Colors look good and white balance is respectable, too. Though low-light video had its share of noise, the results were actually decent. Lastly, while the camcorder does take still shots, you'll likely get better photos out of a camera phone.
It's true you can get much better video from an HD camcorder that costs $100 to $200 more. However, standard-definition video is less demanding to play and edit on an average desktop or laptop, and SD camcorders are less expensive. With the Sony Handycam DCR-SR47 you're trading off video quality for a lot of storage and a 60x zoom lens. Of course, it's small, lightweight, and easy to use, too. Just don't expect HD when you're paying for SD.

WOONSOCKET -- Kings Row, dubbed "New England's #1 Oldies Band," in conjunction with sponsor The Call, are putting on a free fundraising concert for the benefit of Autumnfest 2012.
OLD ORCHARD BEACH, Me. — By no means should Navigant Credit Union Post 85 feel blue after the local ball club saw its season come to an end Saturday in the Northeast Regional American Legion Baseball Tournament.
Sure, no one wants to lose, but even after a 4-2 setback to Barnstable, Mass., Navigant has much to celebrate. For a team that a week ago came out of nowhere to capture the R.I. Senior Division championship, the local lads enjoyed a storybook ride that saw them put forth quite the fight right up to the bitter end.
WOONSOCKET – Gary Fernandes is thinking big again at his River Falls Complex at Market Square.
You can see just how big from the fence overlooking the lower Woonsocket Falls section of the Blackstone River where it curves around the corner of the former Falls Yarn Mill, which is home to the Complex' River Falls Restaurant and CitySide nightclub.
Fernandes and his development company have been hard at work completing a long-planned patio and walkway around the back of the early-1800s mill building that he had started planning more than six years ago.
WOONSOCKET – Six polling places voters have been using for at least a decade have been permanently retired as part of a statewide redistricting effort earlier this year.
As a result of the remapping of voting districts, the city's total number of polling places has shrunk from 16 to 11, according to Estelle Corriveau, manager of the Board of Canvassers.
In addition to losing six polling places, one new one was added – Woonsocket Middle School at Hamlet, 60 Florence Drive.
Craig Moretto and Nora Martel, both of Fitchburg, Mass., hang prizes as they set up the Punk Rack game prior to the start of the 22nd Cumberlandfest at Diamond Hill Park Friday evening. Severe thunderstorms and even a brief tornado watch threatened to cancel the opening night, but skies cleared in time for festivities to get underway after 6 p.m. The festival continues today, tomorrow and Monday. Visit cumberlandfest.com for a complete schedule of events.
Hazel O. Zifcak
JOHNSTON- Hazel O. (O'Leary) Zifcak, 92, died Thursday Aug. 9, 2012 at Home & Hospice Care of RI, Providence.
A resident of Johnston, she lived for many years in Burrillville. Wife of John H. Zifcak for nearly 75 years.
Born in Windsor, Nova Scotia, she was the daughter of the late Truman and Madeline (Wile) O'Leary.
OLD ORCHARD BEACH, Me. — The R.I. American Legion Senior Division champs from Navigant Credit Union/Fairmount Post 85 picked the wrong time to play kick the can.
Navigant committed six errors that led to three runs for the opposition in a disheartening 4-1 setback to Portland, Me. Thursday in the opening game of the double-elimination Northeast Regional tournament at The Ballpark.
Post 85 will look to remain alive when it faces Essex, Vt. Friday at 9:30 a.m.
PAWTUCKET — Andrew Bailey doesn't know when he may return to the Boston Red Sox, but he's more than anxious to do so.
In Pawtucket's 6-3 loss to the Syracuse Chiefs at McCoy Stadium on Thursday afternoon, Bailey relieved starter Billy Buckner in the sixth inning and allowed just one hit (without a walk and fanned a pair in his one-frame stint.
That, coupled with a solid outing the night before when he hurled one inning of flawless ball (with a strikeout), the 28-year-old from Cherry Hills, N.J. likes how he's feeling.
CUMBERLAND – Town Hall employees are trying to cope with the loss of one of their own, following the death of Finance Director Steve Woerner on Wednesday.
Woerner, 61, died after being injured in a recent fall at his home, according to Mayor Daniel J. McKee.
"He was a good man that we loved down here at Town Hall," McKee said. "He was very valuable to the town and a man who was close to a number of people here."
WOONSOCKET – In a clash with the School Committee, the Budget Commission Thursday voted to adopt a $66.6 million budget to run the education department that calls for shutting down Fifth Avenue School.
The 4-1 vote, in which Mayor Leo T. Fontaine was the only commissioner who sided with school officials, came a day after the school committee approved the same budget for fiscal year 2013, with an unfunded recommendation to keep the school open.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WHAS11) -- A Fern Creek home was destroyed by fire late Sunday night amid a winter storm that dumped more than a half foot of snow across Kentuckiana.
The fire broke out just before midnight in a home on the 9000 block of Fern Creek Road.
"The house is a total loss, the roof cave in, in back, so it must have been burning for some time before we got the call," Fern Creek Fire Chief Mike Schmidt said.
Schmidt said the weather didn't affect their response, but it did delay the arrival of the investigator.
The homeowner was not at home when the blaze broke out, firefighters said, and no injuries were reported.
