Philadelphia 76ers Details
|All NBA Tickets
|See all NBA tickets
Price for a Beer
3/25/15: Nerlens Noel may need slow his roll if he is going to keep playing for the Philadelphia 76ers. It is not that he has been a public enemy or anything, but he is simply playing too well for the 76ers to finish at the bottom of the league. In fact, he has come on so strong of late that he may be able to contend with Andrew Wiggins for Rookie of the Year honors. Noel leads all rookies with 7.9 rebounds per game, 1.9 blocked shots per game and 1.8 steals per game. Those totals have been up for the past month, too. It is probably a long shot that he gets the award, but he should at least be in the conversation.
3/18/15: The Philadelphia 76ers, from an organizational standpoint, may well be gunning for top pick in the NBA Draft, though they have serious competition in the loss department from both the New York Knicks and Minnesota Timberwolves. However, the players are still giving effort, they are just generally overmatched in most games. But give them credit for overcoming an 18 point deficit to the Sacramento Kings last week and winning that game. Head coach Brett Brown ripped into his team at halftime and the 76ers responded in a big way. While the front office may be looking at a high draft pick, the players still have pride and want to win.
3/11/15: The Philadelphia 76ers selected an injured Joel Embiid with their first round selection last year, knowing full well that he would likely not play in the 2014-15 season. There still is no set date for Embiid to make his NBA debut, though the odds are it will be next season. Still, Embiid was able to participate in warm-ups recently and showed what type of talent he may bring to the court with a between the legs slam dunk. Many may think that if he is healthy enough to pull that stunt then he is healthy enough to play. Then again, the 76ers have been very obvious in their desire to accumulate the maximum number of ping pong balls for the next draft.
3/4/15: Philadelphia got creative at the trade deadline, shipping one of their best players, if not their best player, Michael Carter Williams to the Milwaukee Bucks for even more draft picks. It also introduced a new term: 'retanking'. But the 76ers are still making moves. They picked up Thomas Robinson off of waivers last week, even though they have no real need for him and the Brooklyn Nets were set to sign him. The reason was that the 76ers were below the salary floor, which is 90% of the salary cap. Adding Robinson got them above the floor, though Portland and Denver had already paid most of his salary for this season.
2/25/15: Maybe the Philadelphia 76ers were getting too good for their own good, so they traded off reigning rookie of the year Michael Carter Williams. Many are calling it 're-tankiing'. Sixers General Manager Sam Hinkie said nearly as much by admitting that the rare chance to get a high lottery pick motivated the trade. MCW ended up in Milwaukee (and a chance at the playoffs). The 76ers came out with the Los Angeles Lakers first round pick this year, though that is protected from being a top-5 pick. The strategy to try to get a high draft pick is understandable, but at some point the 76ers are actually going to have to develop their players.
2/18/15: If this season is about developing the talent that is already on the 76ers roster, then Michael Carter-Williams has to be considered a success. He was named to be a representative to the US team in the Rising Stars Challenge - the annual All Star weekend event that uses only first and second year players. Unfortunately, Carter-Williams has been bothered by a sore right foot and has missed the last three games. He pulled out of the Rising Stars Challenge accordingly. MCW becomes the latest in a long list of players that are injured and have had to pass on All Star events this season.
2/11/15: Okay, so admittedly this is a long-shot, but it is technically possible. The 76ers could conceivably make the playoffs this season. Now that the laughter has stopped, it is worth a thought. Brooklyn currently holds the eighth and last playoff seed in the sad Eastern Conference. Philadelphia is 11 games back. Should the 76ers magically go on a huge winning streak (yes, very, very unlikely), they have enough games to catch that last spot. That is actually a pretty good explanation of the East this season. Meanwhile, good teams like the Oklahoma City Thunder may get shut out of the playoffs because they are in the West.
2/5/15: The Philadelphia 76ers continue to stick to the plan of developing their young talent, even if it means a few seasons of losing. And not just regular losing, but prolonged streaks that mean the team may not reach 20 wins in the season. But at least they have their plan in place. However, they may have suffered a big setback last week when their leading scorer, Tony Wroten suffered a partially torn ACL. He is likely finished for the season. That requires the dreaded ACL surgery, which typically takes eigth to 12 months to fully heal. On the other hand, that may mean a few more losses this season, which may mean a few more ping pong balls in the lottery.
1/28/15: The Philadelphia 76ers season is all about development and preparing for the future. Despite claims of tanking games, the 76ers do not have the worst record in the NBA - that belongs to the Minnesota Timberwolves. The players are certainly not trying to lose - they are trying to get better and be around for another season. Forward Jerami Grant put that into action last Saturday by scoring a career high 16 points against Memphis. Head coach Brett Brown is pleased and praised Grant's worth ethic and development. They may not win a lot this season, but Philly is gearing up for a great improvement in the next couple of years.
1/21/15: The Philadelphia76ers have been on a roll lately - or as much of a roll as one can expect from a team that finished the 2014 calendar year with four wins. Actually, they are 4-6 in their last 10 games, which doubled their win total. They cannot be accused of tanking any longer and seem to be turning into the team that management envisioned when they made their draft choices. There is some concern about Joel Embiid. The team knew that he would not play this season due to injury, but there are concerns about his maturity. His weight and work ethic are being called into question. He is only 20 years old, so no reason to panic yet.
1/14/15: So much for all that talk that the Philadelphia 76ers are tanking the season on purpose. While it took them until their 18th game of the season to get their first win, the won seven of next 18 games, good for almost a .500 record - which would probably be good enough to make the playoffs in the East, if carried out over the entire year. In fact, the 76ers have are 4-6 in their last 10 games and have more wins than both New York and Minnesota. If Philly keeps this up then they may even catch Boston in the standings in a few weeks. Now is a good time to see the 76ers, actually, because this is a team that is developing for the future with a solid core group of players.
1/7/15: The Philadelphia 76ers continue to lead the race for the most ping pong balls in the draft next season, though the New York Knicks seem to be closing in on them. Even if they do not end up with the best odds for the first overall pick, they will certainly have a high lottery pick, which would give them some quality talent going forward. That includes Joel Embiid, who is sitting out what should be his rookie season with an injury. Actually, the 76ers may have a good problem on their hand with two giant centers, so they will have to figure out what to do with Nerlon Noel when the time comes.
12/3/14: Realistically, it is rare that one gets a chance to witness history. But 76ers now have a chance to tie and make history this week - though probably not the type they want. Philadelphia lost their 17th straight game to open the season last Monday. They put up an effort, losing 109-103 to the visiting San Antonio Spurs. To be fair, the Spurs rested Tim Duncan and Tony Parker, and basically let Kawhi Leonard take control for a night. If the 76ers lose at Minnesota on Wednesday, they would tie the 2009-10 Nets with the worst start to a season. They would get a chance to break the record at home this Friday against Oklahoma City.
3/14/13: The Sixers battled the defending champion Miami Heat valiantly Wednesday night, but still came up just short, 98-94. The loss continued an awful stretch for Philly, as they've now dropped 13 of their last 15 games. Things aren't looking much brighter on the horizon either, as Indiana, Portland, the Clippers and Denver are on deck. Similar to the Raptors, the 76ers have received some notable numbers from young players such as Jrue Holiday, Thaddeus Young and Evan Turner. With the return of Andrew Bynum coming next season, this could very easily be a playoff team in the future of the Eastern Conference.
5/25/12 The Philadelphia 76ers rallied on Wednesday night to win a defensive battle on their home floor, forcing a Game 7 on Saturday night in Boston. The Sixers 82-75 win over the Celtics in Game 6 was led by Jrue Holiday's 20 point effort, as Philadelphia managed to stave off elimination and force the only Game 7 in the semifinal round of the 2012 NBA playoffs. Now, the Sixers must stick to their defensive gameplan and try to shut down Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett if they hope to pull off the upset and advance to face the Miami Heat in the Eastern Conference finals.
5/18/12 The Philadelphia 76ers were not able to follow up their surprising Game 2 win over the Boston Celtics and were steamrolled in Game 3 by a score of 107-91. Returning back home to the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia was not the homecoming they expected, as they could do little to stop Kevin Garnett and the Celtics in their Game 3 loss. Thaddeus Young led all scores for Philadelphia with 22 points, and he also added 5 assists and 1 rebound. Now trailing the series 2-1, the Sixers will look to even up the series on Friday night.
5/11/12 In a thrilling Game 6 at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia, the 76ers fought off a late rally from the Chicago Bulls and held on for a 79-78 win to cap a 4-2 series victory and move on to the Eastern Conference semifinals for the first time since 2003. The 8th-seeded Sixers became just the 5th team in NBA history to knock off the No. 1 seed in the first round. It has now been done in back-to-back years, as the 8th-seeded Grizzlies upset the No. 1-seeded Spurs last season. The 76ers will face the Boston Celtics in the second round.
After securing the final seed in the Eastern Conference playoffs at the end of the season, the Philadelphia 76ers lost the opening game of their playoff series against the Chicago White Sox by the score of 103-91. While prior to the start of the playoffs many believed that Chicago would easily win the series, the Bulls lost star player Derrick Rose to a torn ACL during game one, opening up the opportunity for the 76er's to advance to the next round much more easily than they would have previously. Elton Brand led the offensive attack for the 76ers with 19 points, 7 rebounds, 4 blocks and a steal in the loss. Game 2 will be played in Chicago on Tuesday.
5/4/12 With Chicago Bulls star point guard and former MVP Derrick Rose going down to an ACL tear late in Game 1, the Philadelphia 76ers took advantage of the Rose-less Bulls and capitalized with a convincing 109-92 win over Chicago in Game 2. With the series tied 1-1, the action will shift back to Philadelphia and the Wells Fargo Center for Games 3 and 4, where Evan Turner, Andre Iguodala and the Sixers will look to take their new homecourt advantage and get a leg up on the Bulls in this best-of-seven series and pull a major first round upset.
Going into the final game of their 2012 season, the Philadelphia 76ers find themselves tied with the New York Knicks with a 35-30 record. The team plays a hapless Detroit Pistons squad that is currently out of the playoff picture and a victory could propel them up to the seven seed for the playoffs. The Sixers will look to point guard Lou Williams for a strong performance against a Detroit team that is currently near the bottom of the league in nearly all major offensive categories. Williams is currently leading the team with 14.9 points per game on the season.
After an extremely strong start to the 2012 season, the Philadelphia 76ers have come down to earth a bit and are in a battle with the New York Knicks and the Milwaukee Bucks for one of the last two playoff spots in the Eastern Conference. While the team has won its last two games, it is currently 4-6 through its last 10 games. In order to ensure it snags one of those final playoff seeds, they will have to perform well through their final 8 games, which included a matchup against the Bucks. Offensively, the team has been led by Lou Williams, averaging 15.1 points and 3.5 rebounds per game.

Mom And Dad's Record Collection
Loving An Album To Death Makes A Music Fan For Life
Originally published on Thu August 16, 2012 6:19 pm
All this summer, All Things Considered is digging into the record collections of listeners' parents to hear about one song introduced by a parent that has stayed with you.
Among the many records Darrin Wolsko spun while donning a red cape around 1985, The Beatles' self-titled release best known as The White Album got the most plays — "to the point where I destroyed the album. I shredded this album to pieces," Wolsko says.
"When I hear the jet engine [on 'Back in the U.S.S.R.'], it really does bring me back to that point when I was a little kid in my room playing these records," says Wolsko in an interview with NPR's Melissa Block. "And it was my dad's copy of The White Album."
Darrin's father, Paul, went into the Army in 1966, and when he got out three years later, "the whole country had changed; it wasn't the same America."
"The big FM stations were blaring the same thing every day, and it became a pain in the ear," says Paul Wolsko. "So I started buying up albums. I picked up The Beatles' White Album and, to be honest, I didn't even like The Beatles. I liked certain songs, but like every album you buy, [there's] some good stuff, there's some stuff you're not crazy about. I played the White Album, but I wasn't the type of person to listen to an album endlessly."
"I was," his son quickly replies. "You know, the importance of music in my life is really because of the guy sitting across the way from me. The fact that he let me destroy a numbered copy of this White Album — you know, you could've put me through college with this thing."
With about 500 to 600 vinyl albums at the time, Paul was very protective of his record collection. But working two jobs, it soon became too much to keep up.
"So I figured, 'Look, what good is a souvenir?' It's like a little bit of feng shui," Paul says. "If it's not essential, useful or beautiful, what good is keeping it? So I thought to myself, 'Self, let him play with the albums.' And he did."
Music was constant in the Wolsko household, and for Darrin, that was and is important.
"Material possessions change, but music as this bond is always going to be between my father and I," he says. "The whole car ride up here, what did we talk about? We talked music, and we talked about albums, and we talked about the CDs he gave me to listen to last week. So 30-plus years later, we're still going strong."
Many of you have written us with stories about your parents and their music for our series Mom and Dad's Record Collection. Today, we're going to hear from father and son Paul and Darrin Wolsko, who join me from New York. Paul and Darrin, welcome.
DARRIN WOLSKO: Hi.
PAUL WOLSKO: Hello.
BLOCK: And let's start, Darrin, by cuing up the song that you steered us to. It starts with an airplane. Here it comes.
THE BEATLES: (Singing) Oh, flew in from Miami Beach, BOAC. Didn't get to bed last night. On the way, the paper bag was on my knee. Man, I had a dreadful flight. I'm back in the USSR. You don't know how lucky you are, boy. Back in the USSR, yeah.
BLOCK: So, Darrin, "Back in the U.S.S.R." from The Beatles' "White Album"...
WOLSKO: That's it.
BLOCK: ...you met in 1968. Where were you listening to this?
WOLSKO: I was, oh, maybe about 1985 or so, and I'm staring at a picture of myself right now in a cape that my mom made for me. I had this little blue record player, and I used to play all these records all the time. And I would just sit and play them and play them and play them.
BEATLES: (Singing) Well, the Ukraine girls really knock me out. They leave the West behind.
WOLSKO: And this is one of the ones that I played and played and played and played and played actually to the point where I destroyed the album, and I shredded this album to pieces.
BEATLES: (Singing) Oh, come on.
WOLSKO: And when I hear the jet engine, it really does bring me back to that point when I was a little kid in my room playing these records, and it was my dad's copy of "The White Album."
BLOCK: Let's bring your dad, Paul Wolsko, into the conversation. Where did you get the album? Do you remember when you first bought it?
WOLSKO: Well, yes, I do, but I guess you have to understand how it came to be in my house.
BLOCK: Yeah.
WOLSKO: I went into the Army in '66, and I was out in 1969, a couple of months after "The White Album" first came out. And then when I got out, I found out that the whole country had changed. It wasn't the same America that was there when I went in, and now, things were different. And the big FM stations were blaring the same thing every day, and it became a pain in the ear. So I started buying up albums. I picked up The Beatles' "White Album" and, to be honest, I didn't even like the...
WOLSKO: ...I didn't like The Beatles.
BLOCK: You didn't like The Beatles.
WOLSKO: I liked certain songs, but like every album you buy, you know, just some good stuff. There's some stuff that you're not crazy about. I played "The White Album," get it, you know, you listen to it a few times, but I wasn't the type of person to listen to an album endlessly.
WOLSKO: I was.
BLOCK: Yeah. So, Darrin, that's where you come in.
BEATLES: (Singing) Back in the U.S., back in the U.S., back in the USSR.
WOLSKO: You know, the importance of music in my life is really because of the guy sitting across away from me. And the fact that he let me destroy a numbered copy of this "White Album" - there was a number of them pressed in an original pressing, you know? When I found out later that I had, you know, overplayed one of these, I said, oh, my goodness, you know, this, you know, you could've put me through college with this thing.
WOLSKO: Oh, I can add a little bit there.
BLOCK: Yeah, Paul.
WOLSKO: I was still into the phase where I was very protective of my record collection. At that time, it was maybe five, 600 vinyl albums, and I'd take them out of the sleeve, and I'd have this flannel...
WOLSKO: ...thing that took the dust off the album and...
WOLSKO: I remember this.
WOLSKO: ...I sprayed the flannel block, and I moved it around...
BLOCK: Mm-hmm.
WOLSKO: ...and put it on. But, of course, you know, there was the fact that I was working two jobs and, frankly, I got tired. So I figured, hey, look, what good is a souvenir? You know, it's like a little bit of feng shui. If it's not essential, useful or beautiful, what good is keeping it?
BLOCK: Mm.
WOLSKO: So I thought to myself, let him play with the albums, and he did.
BEATLES: (Singing) Let me hear your balalaikas ringing out. Come and keep your comrade warm. I'm back in the USSR.
BLOCK: Darrin, were there other songs on this album that you remember just loving?
WOLSKO: I remember the transition between "Back in the U.S.S.R." to - I think it went to "Dear Prudence" next.
WOLSKO: I probably didn't understand it at 9 years old, but I can remember the emotional change. You know, oh, here comes "Dear Prudence."
WOLSKO: You know, I get that now, but I didn't get it then. You know, they had a vision in mind to take you from point A to point B, and I think I was aware of that in some way when I was a kid.
BEATLES: (Singing) Dear Prudence, won't you come out to play?
BLOCK: Paul, do you remember realizing that your son, that Darrin was listening to this one album, this double album over and over...
WOLSKO: Of course.
BLOCK: ...and over and over?
WOLSKO: Of course, because it drove me nuts.
BEATLES: (Singing) Greet the brand-new day.
WOLSKO: There was always music on and, you know, that's kind of why I think we're here is that music was really important. And, you know, material possessions change, but music as this bond is always going to be between my father and I. And the whole car ride up here, what did we talk about? We talked about music, and we talked about albums, and we talked about the, you know, the CDs that, you know, he gave me to listen to last week. So it's definitely, you know, 30-plus years later, we're still going strong.
BLOCK: Well, Darrin and Paul Wolsko, it's been great to talk to you. Thank you so much.
WOLSKO: Thank you so much.
WOLSKO: Thank you very much.
WOLSKO: It's a pleasure.
BEATLES: (Singing) Look around round, round, round, round, round, round, round, round, round, round.
BLOCK: That's listener Darrin Wolsko and his father, Paul, and they're now raising a third generation of Beatles fans. Darrin's 9-year-old son and his new baby boy listen to "The White Album" on the iPod.
BEATLES: (Singing) Dear Prudence.
BLOCK: You're listening to ALL THINGS CONSIDERED from NPR News. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

This year's Military Bowl has a number of strong defensive prospects. The players listed are good ones to keep an eye on as fits for the Lions. Also, keep a watchful eye on San Jose State's junior quarterback David Fales. It's unlikely he declares, but he has all the skills to transition as a promising NFL quarterback.

Minn Kota® Riptide ST Saltwater Trolling Motor with UPDATED i-PilotTM.
Featuring the updated i-Pilot, now with more Spot-Lock locations, more recordable tracks, and newer, better remote control! i-Pilot automatically controls and steers your boat using GPS technology . Lock onto a fishing spot - and stay there. Record a successful path, then retrace it later. Set cruise control for the perfect bait presentation. GPS accuracy, all with the sole purpose of making you a better angler at the push of a button.

Instead of wasting energy with a constant flow of power, Digital Maximizer delivers only what's needed... a precise amount of power at any setting, along with variable speed control. The bottom line is more time on the water for you.
Guaranteed by Minn Kota for life! Pound for pound, it's stronger than steel. Shaft flexes on impact and won't break, kink, or corrode.
Only Minn Kota's Weedless Wedge 2 Prop can push weeds away and take on the thick stuff without battery-draining chopping and hacking. They've improved the legendary design with swept-back, flared blades for unrelenting, reliable prop performance.

|The Cake Book
~ Tish Boyle
There is nothing better than to curl up with a good book—a cookbook that is. We love to read cookbooks! And when we are finished reading, based on the number of "sticky notes" peeking out of the pages, we know whether the content inspired us to make the recipes. Inspired us to want to start taking out the pans, checking the pantry for the ingredients and dreaming of the end result.
The Cake Book is such a book; written by Tish Boyle, award–winning cookbook author and editor of Dessert Professional Magazine (prior to assuming that position she was the editor of Chocolatier Magazine). The book reflects the author's attention to style and detail as evidenced in the chapters describing ingredients, cake-baking equipment and techniques/tips. We found them to be very informative, especially the following statement, "If you put great things into your cakes, with a little effort and some luck, great things will come out of your oven." How true and, with the recipes in this book, great things will come out of your oven.
The Cake Book contains a selection of 200 recipes that range from Basic White and Yellow Cake Layers to Cinnamon Swirl Buttermilk Pound Cake, Meringue Cakes (White Chocolate Strawberry Meringue Cake), Brownie Latte Cheesecake, Chocolate Peanut Butter Mousse Cake and Sour Cream-Blueberry Crumb Cake. The recipes are clearly written, each one includes a short descriptive note from the author and a rating to indicate the complexity—from simple to very advanced. The ingredients for each recipe are listed in volume and weight; those who like to measure using weight will appreciate this detail.
KosherEye asked Tish about her inspiration for writing The Cake Book, "Cakes are, hands-down, my favorite things to make. I love the idea of perfecting their individual components—the cake layers, the filling, the frosting and the garnish—and assembling them in creative ways. I wanted to do a comprehensive collection of cake recipes in every category, from simple buttery pound cakes to sky-high layer cakes, and I hope I've achieved that."
We would say that she has achieved her goal with this cookbook. The book reflects her skill, experience, creativity, and love of baking. The beautiful photographs by John Uher, capture her creations and makes you want to bake, bake, bake.
About Tish Boyle:
KosherEye recommends The Cake Book as a Gift Yourself, Gift Others item... certainly this is the ultimate "go to" volume for the devoted serious baker. Tish has shared two of her recipes with KosherEye; no-bake Raspberry–Topped Lemon Cheesecake and Bittersweet Chocolate Mousse Cake.
Follow Tish Boyle on her website, TishBoyle Sweet Dreams. The Cake Book is available on Amazon.com.
Please read excerpts from our interview with the very talented Tish Boyle.
Featured Cookbook
We have searched the world of cookbooks and selected some of the most exciting, enticing, fun, entertaining and informative to share in our popular feature Featured Cookbook.
Some of these cookbooks have recipes with non-kosher ingredients. No worries! KosherEye and our team of cookbook authors, chefs and foodies will help you convert these ingredients to kosher substitutes. In fact we are providing an initial, basic list of kosher substitutions for you.
Attention Cookbook Writers and Media: If you would like KosherEye to consider your cookbook for feature, send a note to email@example.com.

'Prime Picks'
Handicapping with Jeff Siegel
It's mandatory payoff day on the final program of the winter/spring/summer season with an excellent card that begins at 1:02 PDT.
Race 1:
The opener is a restricted (nw-2) $12,500 claiming miler that matches eight runners, none of which really have a winning spirit. We'll tread lightly while preferring #4 Surfer Moon (second-off-the-claim for Miyadi and shortening up a furlong to a more preferred trip) and #1 Pefiolo (first-off-the-claim for Marquez with a switch to Baze, a good inside draw, and solid numbers). Both should be included in rolling exotic play but if you feel the need to go deeper, go right ahead.
Race 2:
Entry-level allowance fillies and mares sprint down the hill in the second race, a wide-open grass grab bag if there ever was one. #8 Daddy's Duo was one of the most visually impressive maiden claiming winners we've seen in a long time last September; she never took a deep breath in destroying a $30,000 field in a main track sprint but then disappeared and is making her first start since. She returns protected by Desormeaux and is bred to like turf, so at 8-1 on the morning line she's a "must use" in rolling exotic play. We're hoping that her workouts at San Luis Rey Downs will have her fit and ready. #3 Missy Mouse seeks her third straight win for Truman and her numbers continue to rise, so this Cal-bred daughter of McCann's Mojave should fit with open company. She's a prototype late-running sprinter and Van Dyke stays aboard. #4 Tale of Papa Nick gained a state-bred win in April over this course and distance via disqualification and earned a strong figure in doing so; the lightly-raced daughter of Papa Clem likely has another forward move or two in her for hot trainer Baltas and might be the controlling speed. We'll use all three in our rolling exotics and then press a bit with Daddy's Duo on top, especially if she's near her 8-1 morning line odds.
Race 3:
The third race is a strong first-level allowance main track sprint that finds #4 Pat the Bear listed as the 2-1 morning line choice. The Miller-trained gelding exits a fast, highly-rated sprint and has worked well since that May 9 effort, so we're expecting him to bounce back in a big way against this considerably softer group. The big break in the weights doesn't hurt, either. #7 I B Mike, a $32,000 Belvoir claim, is solid in the speed figure department and should enjoy a nice pace prompting trip outside. Talamo stays aboard and knows him well. Preference goes to Pat the Bear but both should be included in rolling exotic play.
Race 4:
The traditional closing day feature, the San Juan Capistrano, is carded as the fourth race and therefore isn't included in the Pick-6 sequence. #6 Going Somewhere made a very favorable impression in his U.S. debut when finishing an excellent third in the Whittingham Stakes last month and if he produces a forward move as expected over this marathon trip the Drysdale-trained Brazilian will be the one to beat. He's even money on the morning line, which seems a bit short, but he's certainly a deserving favorite. #2 Decisive Edge moves way up in class following a visually pleasing victory against a non-winners of two field; the son of Bernardini acts like he'll run all day and he'll get that chance today. He's worth using as at least a saver in your rolling exotics.
Race 5:
The Pick-6 begins in the fifth race with an entry-level main track optional claimer at a mile. #2 I Don't Care Who is racing in sharp form and makes his first start since being claimed for $25,000 by Sadler; the son of Dehere loves this main track and knows how to win races. #3 Grazen Sky might have been best when an unlucky third in the Snow Chief Stakes against 3-year-old California-breds on turf last time out; he seems just as effective on dirt and may be able to produce the last run despite facing older company today. #8 Iron Fist graduated like a decent prospect last time out, though the colt he defeated, Rosicky, came back to disappoint in a poor effort. Still, the son of Tapit remains well regarded and on pure numbers seems quite capable of scoring right back for the high percentage Smith-Hollendorfer team. These are the three we'll including in our rolling exotics with slight preference on top to I Don't Care Who.
Race 6:
Straight maidens meet over a mile on turf in the sixth race, another competitive affair that requires a bit of a spread. #5 Blue Law is a first-time gelding and could be a much better type because of it; his strong runner-up performance over this course and distance two races back charts very well in this spot and Desormeaux should have him in an ideal pace-prompting position. #2 Paythebank missed by a head in a similar event in early May and has trained well since; he's a fit on numbers and could very well produce another forward move today. #7 Pretentious already has had eight chances but comes off his best race, a narrow second place finish with a furious late kick in his first ever wearing blinkers. If he can turn in two alike, he'll be right in the thick of things again.
Race 7:
The seventh race is a maiden claiming sprint for fillies and mares that could be the perfect spot for the class-dropping #9 Matter of Luck. The Blacker-trained filly lands the comfortable outside post after chasing much tougher in a turf sprint in her debut last month. She's come back to work well and if she leaves with her field today she's likely to flash a lot more early zip. You have to use her at 6-1 on the morning line. #1 Designated Royalty is buried on the rail but if she can negotiate a decent trip the Headley-trained filly could be a late factor. She was a willing third in her debut and today gets an extra half furlong to work with. #5 Hi Fever, fourth after a slow start in her debut while exiting the same race as Designated Royalty, is very likely to improve as well; the daughter of Stormin Fever continues to hint at some ability in the morning and Pedroza stays aboard.
Race 8:
#2 Big John B will try to do his best impression of John Henry when he totes 130 lbs. in the eighth race, a starter handicap for $25,000 claimers at a mile and one-quarter on turf. The veteran Hard Spun gelding completely outclasses his rivals on pure form (he was beaten just over five lengths in the Breeders' Cup Turf last fall) and his recent workouts indicate he's back on the beam for D'Amato. Small ticket players may consider him a possible single; however, if you'd feel more comfortable with some protection than consider including #5 Persuasive Paul (seeking his third straight and packing 125 pounds himself) and #6 Salah Champ (a sharp Bay Area invader that could be tough to catch if not policed up front).
Race 9:
The ninth race is a restricted (nw-2) six furlong $25,000 claiming sprint for fillies and mares; it's a messy affair with little in it to trust. We'll use just two but you should feel free to spread if you can afford to. #7 Mothernaturespell drops for the money run and the O'Neill-trained filly has numbers that are good enough to win at this level. She switches to Perez and should be on or near the lead from the get-go. #4 Ill Tell You What is reunited with Baze, who won on her three runs back, and should draft into a good second flight, stalking spot. A recent sharp five furlong drill since her last outing seems to have her right on edge.
Race 10:
The nightcap is a maiden claiming turf miler for fillies and mares that offers an extreme handicapping challenge. Let's go with #2 Dixie Tweet on top; she's 6-1 on the morning line and offers some value at that price. She's dropping into a claimer for the first time, lands a good inside draw, continues to look sharp morning and should be forwardly placed and free of trouble throughout. #8 Scuti de Patuti has the blinkers off angle that we like so much and combines that with the maiden to maiden-claiming class drop factor that produces some many winners at this level. If she can route, she can win. #12 Ya Ya Girl gets the worst of the draw but earned a nice figure when nosed out in a decent downhill turf sprint last month; she retains Bejarano and won't have to improve much at all to earn her diploma.
Thanks for joining us during the past six months. We'll see you in September!

Stoops measure to enhance state's recycling efforts approved
INDIANAPOLIS – On Tuesday, the Senate passed House Bill (HB) 1183, a measure sponsored by Senator Mark Stoops (D-Bloomington) that would set a statewide goal for recycling municipal waste and require Indiana recycling organizations to post periodic reports on their recycling efforts.
The act would set in place a goal for Indiana to recycle at least 50 percent of its municipal waste by 2019. HB 1183 defines municipal waste as any garbage, refuse, industrial restroom waste, office waste or another similar material. Sen. Stoops said this goal is ambitious, but attainable.
"When we dump our municipal waste into landfills we are literally throwing away valuable commodities that could be used for other purposes," Sen. Stoops said. "By working with recyclers in the state to analyze the situation, we can focus state policy and resources to create a more effective recycling program."
The measure would also require all Indiana recycling organizations and businesses to submit an annual recycling activity report to the Indiana Department of Environmental Management beginning in 2015. Those reports would be shared with the public through the department's website. The Department of Environmental Management would also be required to submit to the Environmental Quality Service Council an annual report summarizing the information contained in the recycling reports.
Sen. Stoops said working with recycling facilities to increase accountability and gain a better understanding of the status of their efforts could help Indiana become more efficient.
"Improving our recycling efforts in Indiana will create jobs, combat environmental degradation and help us capitalize on resources that are available in our own backyard," Sen. Stoops said.
The measure was approved by a vote of 47-1 and will be sent to the original author of the bill in the House of Representatives to consider changes made in the Senate.
Sen. Stoops represents Indiana Senate District 40, which includes portions of Monroe County, including the City of Bloomington. For more information on Sen. Stoops, his legislative agenda or other State Senate business call 1-800-382-9467 or visit www.IN.gov/S40.

mom, an independent individualist for most of her 72 years, has never
had much need for medical care. Heck, she only gave in to glasses in her
sixties! But now, after a stroke, plus osteoporosis that led to a broken
hip, she's not the healthy young adventurer she used to be. She's
getting forgetful, and she's unwilling to leave the house.
A home health aide sees to many of her needs, and she
has "Health Watch," a monitoring device that lets her call for help if
she falls or has an emergency. (For more information, see box below.)
She also needs medical care. But how can she keep doctor
appointments when she can't leave her home?
Here's the good news: With Bridgeport Hospital's
Geriatric Home Visit Group, house calls are back! The Geriatric Home
Visit Group can become the primary care provider for patients like your
mom, who are 65 or older and who, for physical or psychological reasons,
cannot leave the house. (This means that your mother's medical records
will be transferred from her present primary care doctor to the
Geriatric Home Visit Group.)
Home visit services include an initial physical, mental
and emotional examination, and ongoing follow-up visits by a
geriatrician (a physician specializing in medical care for older adults)
or a geriatric nurse practitioner. Services are covered by Medicare and
most private insurers.
If your mother needs to go to the hospital at any point,
Bridgeport Hospital will provide treatment.
And if she ever needs to move to a nursing home or an
assisted living facility, the Geriatric Home Visit Group makes house
calls at many of the facilities in the greater Bridgeport area.
Health Watch: Peace of Mind
Health Watch, a 24–hour-a-day in-home monitoring
system, provides a safety net that can allow people to live
independently and still ensure their personal safety and
security. With Health Watch, assistance is always available at
the touch of a button. For a descriptive brochure, call us 24/7,
toll free, at

Tibetan Exile Dies From Burns Suffered In Self-Immolation
Originally published on Wed May 23, 2012 10:55 am
Jamphel Yeshi has died. The 27-year-old Tibetan exile, who on on Monday set himself on fire in New Delhi, was the latest in a small but growing number of Tibetans who in the past year have burned themselves in protest of China's rule over their country.
As we reported Tuesday, at least 30 Tibetans have taken that dramatic step in the past year.
Yeshi, The Associated Press writes, came to a protest over a visit to India by China's president and "ran screaming past other protesters and the media before falling to the ground, his clothing partly disintegrated and nearly his entire body covered in burns." He died today.
This morning, The Wall Street Journal writes that his death "casts a shadow over the visit of Chinese President Hu Jintao, who is in New Delhi to attend the BRICS summit with leaders from Brazil, Russia, India and South Africa. ... A spokesman for China's Foreign Ministry claimed Tuesday that the Dalai Lama, the spiritual leader of Tibetan Buddhists, had encouraged the self-immolation. The exiled Tibetan administration and the Dalai Lama have repeatedly denied backing the practice."

Judging a Book by Its Cover: Eve & AdamApril 12, 2013
Title: Eve & Adam
Author: Michael Grant and Katherine Applegate
What's on the cover: An apple that is half red and half silver puzzle pieces. Lightning seems to be striking around it. Blue gradient background with lots of ones and zeroes around the apple. The tagline says "And girl created boy…."
What I think it's about: Looks like sci-fi. With that tagline, I'm guessing a girl creates some kind of artificial intelligence.
Do I think I want to read it?: The cover tells me just enough to know what genre it likely is and gives some good hints to the plot without giving it away. I'm definitely intrigued, and it's also a really cool, pretty cover. Initial judgment says yes!
What the blurb says: "In the beginning, there was an apple. And then there was a car crash, a horrible, debilitating injury, and a hospital. But before Evening Spiker could regain consciouness, there was a strange boy checking her out of the hospital and rushing her to Spiker Biopharmaceuticals, her mother's research facility. Once there, Eve has to heal and cope with an eerie isolation only interrupted by her overbearing mohter, a strange group of doctors, and the mysterious boy who brought her there. Just when Eve thinks she will die – not from her injuries, but boredom – her mother gives her a special project: Create the perfect boy. Using an amazingly detailed simulation that is designed to teach human genetics, Eve starts building a boy from the ground up: eyes, hair, muscle, even a brain, and potential personality traits. Eve is creating Adam. And he will be perfect….won't he?"
Final verdict: Hey, I was right! The blurb makes it sound like a fun, intersting, thought-provoking book. This one is going on my To Read pile.

(ST. JOSEPH) Caitlyn Lindstrom has a strong backing from her family every time she hits the softball diamond.
"It's always been a sport that the whole family has enjoyed," her mother, Katrina, said.
But the Central High School senior has had one vacant spot in her support group: her father, Chet, a member of the Air Force who was deployed oversees on Fathers Day.
"For her to go through her senior year and not have her biggest fan here, it was kind of hard for her to realize that and come to grips with it."
But when it came to his daughter's senior night, Chet just couldn't missed it. So, about two months ago, Caitlyn's mother came up with a surprise.
"I thought: if we can talk through Skype randomly, why can't we try and set that up?"
"I've been looking forward to this for the last week ever since my wife set it up," Chet said over Skype.
So, when it came time for first pitch in game one of Central's doubleheader with Ruskin on Monday, Caitlyn's father was there, visible via Skype on an iPad, to wish her good luck.
"It was kind of a way for her to solidify her year," Katrina said, "to have her biggest fan there to support her even though he is so far away."
Chet was able to stick around the computer and watch part of Caitlyn's last home games, albeit "across the pond", as Katrina put it.
A small glimpse back home, but a big way to make his daughter's senior sendoff even more unforgettable.
"This has been the highlight of the deployment: getting to see Caitlyn's last home game for Central," he said.
"All those guys over at the 139th hold Caitlyn kind of as a family member anyway," Katrina added. "They've all watched her play ball and come up through the ranks, so it's kind of a final chapter for them as well."

Ok, so I finally got a welder, a nice older Dialarc 250, which should work for my needs.
BUT! it's set up for 460v. Reading the handy online manuals, I see that it's easy to swap over, but here's my question:
Pictures in the manual show two "horseshoe" connectors or plates, to be placed over the appropriate poles. For 460v, there is only one showing-- on the machine, it is two small pieces, back to back. When switching to 220v, do I need to get another set of two plates? Or is it supposed to be one over each pole??? I don't want to cook anything other than the big box of 6011 rod I got with the welder.
I'll try to call Miller tomorrow but if anyone knows, I'm all ears. Thanks in advance!

No, the tap links don't have to be doubled up for 220v. All that's required for any line voltage is just the two links in whatever tap configuration.

As Bob said, just use the two tabs independently. For 460V the Dialarc only needs connection between two studs in the power panel. The extra tab (used for 230V hookup) was "stored" there so it wouldn't get lost.
If the tab positions are not shown for the various voltages on your machine, let me know and I'll pull the cover on mine and check it out. (I had to do the same thing when I got my Dialarc).

Thanks guys, I appreciate the responses.
Went down to my local welding supply place today, where I was given a free 220 power cord with the right plug. Sweet! And called the local Miller dealer, who told me exactly what you all did. Sooooooo.... looks like I should be up and running tomorrow, yee ha! I doubt I will ever use more than 150amps so I should be good with all the current house wiring. It's been sufficient for the large, very dangerously powerful table saw I have... (smashed two pieces of plywood together on end in MIDAIR! the one time it kicked back. ). I think it draws about 100amps at startup.
welcome to the post. but PLEASE watch that table saw! Hope to hear from you soon on the welder, AND that you still have all your fingers!!!!!!!I'm not late...
I'm just on Hawaiian Time

Freedom sounds like a simple enough term, like one of many simple words that are easily explained by their opposites: light/dark, up/down, freedom/slavery–and in a truly free society I think that would be the case.
Since we do not live anywhere near that ideal, freedom is tossed around as liberally and nonsensically as other emotionally-triggered words like love, hate, or terrorism, successfully muddying a concept that would have easily been grasped by our earliest civilized ancestors.
I'm reminded of Bush's oft-quoted neo-con mantra on why the world and the terrorists pick on poor us: "They hate our freedoms!" But, just as one wouldn't go to a dentist for hip surgery, so should one choose to learn about freedom from a libertarian, not a statist.
While freedom-talk.com defines seven areas of the common view of freedom, I would argue for simplicity-sake we could narrow that down to the most crucial four. In order to demonstrate that we do not live in a free society, I will post a link after each description of an example today in direct violation of freedom. I could post new links each and every day, I'm specifically choosing what's recently come across my newsfeeds, just like every other day.
Freedom from Constraints:
Lack of obstacles and restrictions from other people. Freedom from constraints (negative freedom) in a society is larger the fewer restrictions average individuals encounter: the less they need to ask for permission from others for doing what they want and the fewer sanctions they face.
Here's yet another story of a citizen not allowed to video police officers during a raid. Notice the officers' hostility to innocent bystanders, their glaring abuse of power and intimidation and the arbitrary punishments for made-up crimes.
Freedom under Law:
The opposite of being subjected to arbitrary demands or obligations. It is higher when everybody is subjected to the same rules. Laws are less arbitrary when people's duties and obligations follow from a predefined set of publicly known rules that have not been tailored for specific discriminatory purposes.
Unless you understand the New World Order agenda, the laws being passed since 9/11 may seem arbitrary, but once you do take the proverbial red pill, their perfect alignment is undeniable. We say we're making the world safe for democracy, because that was an effective slogan back in the day. Now as we regularly oust democratically-elected governments, simply "our interests" are enough to bully the globe into compliance. One set of rules for the commoners, created by and for the oligarchs.
"This revolution - the overthrow of the global oligarchy - is the only revolution that matters." Dr. Kevin Barrett
Political Freedom:
Political freedom (or democracy) is the amount of control people have over determining the content of the rules that are enforced in their society. It's the opposite of authoritarian rule when a small number of people determine the rules that everybody else has to obey or of being ruled by a foreign power.
Here's the story of a Florida woman being dragged through the courts and facing eviction because she does not want to use public utilities.
Is it democracy to be forced to pay for services and products we don't want or use? Who is deciding what's best for the common good?
Psychological Autonomy
Autonomy (or psychological freedom) is the opposite of being manipulated. A different way of putting it is by saying that an autonomous person is one who is willing and is allowed to act in a rational and authentic manner, rather than subjecting to what other people want or conforming to predefined social standards about what one must be. Understood from a social perspective, this refers to the autonomy of an average individual.
We need look no further than the mainstream media, an admitted mouthpiece of the government, as it fulfills on the Globalist neo-con agenda.
The agenda in a nutshell? Control the Food + Control the Energy + Control the World Currency = Control the People
As today's example we can take "farms" of which 1/3 of subsidies go to the largest 4% of farms, that is, Pilgrim's Pride, Tyler Farms and Riceland Foods. Add to that the interests and subsidies of the chemical corporations, and we no longer can even agree on what "farm" and "food" mean!
Why do you think Obama has not kept his 2007 promise to label GMOs? Still to this day not even intense public pressure from all sides of the political spectrum has been able to sway the increasing influence of Monsanto and kin.
"Double speak by the media is distorting the very identity of "farmer" for the average American. In fact, most of our food production - the food chain we've become so dependent on and can't do without - is controlled by only a half dozen "chemical corporations."" Ken Kailing
In fact, Big-Ag-Pharma-Chem is gearing up for the long fight.
"Comprising the biggest food, chemical, and biotechnology lobbying groups, the new coalition has three goals to underscore support for genetic engineering and the GMO crops and products containing them:
- Prevent states from passing commonsense legislation mandating information about genetically engineered GMO food products.
- Persuade the Food and Drug Administration to allow GMO ingredients to be marketed as "natural" (which they already do).
- Confuse consumers by continuing to promote a failed "voluntary" GMO labeling program rather than a mandatory one."
Transformation begins with language, call a spade a spade, and stop calling Americans free!

Maybe it took you some time to feel truly comfortable in that empty nest once the kids moved out. Eventually, though, you found perks aplenty: a clean kitchen, no more late nights spent worrying about who's going where and the living room all to yourself.
Then you get that phone call from one of your grown children: "Mind if I live at home for a bit?" And your world is turned upside down again.
According to a 2010 report by the Pew Research Center, more and more "boomerang" kids are moving back home. About 49 million Americans, or 16 percent of the U.S. population, lived in family households with at least two adult generations in 2008 — an increase of 2.6 million over the previous year and a startling jump from the 28 million people, or 12 percent, who lived in multigenerational households in 1980.
Like homing pigeons, young adults ages 25 to 34 are now coming back to roost with their parents with increasing frequency. In 1980, 11 percent of adults in this age group lived in a multigenerational household; by 2008, 20 percent did.
Why? Point your finger at today's wheezing economy. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, about 37 percent of those ages 18 to 29 were either unemployed or out of the work force by 2009. Put that together with the high cost of living, college loans and the fact that more than half of first marriages end in divorce, and it is easy to see why so many young people can't make it on their own.
For some, family togetherness is smooth sailing the second time around. But for most, it entails many challenges. "You may expect your grown kids to behave like adults, but sometimes everyone falls back into their old patterns too easily," explains psychotherapist Susan Ende, co-author with Gail Parent of How to Raise Your Adult Children (Hudson Street Press, 2010).

"Getting the issues out on the table right away is more important than settling on the rules."
Dr. Nada Scotland
If you and your adult child find yourselves living under one roof again, here are some tips to make the transition easier for everyone:
Wait for the knock on the door. If your son is struggling to put gas in his car or your daughter has fallen behind on student loans, it's fine to offer an occasional helping hand. "Don't be the one to suggest that your child should move back in with you, however, unless there's a real emergency," cautions Ende. "Wait until he or she asks. Otherwise, your child will feel less urgency to solve problems on his or her own."
Share your concerns. "Talk openly with each other," says Dr. Nada Stotland, a Chicago psychiatrist with a special interest in women's mental health. What worries you about sharing a house with your child? Do you want your child to pay rent, or support his or her own cell phone and car expenses? What chores do you expect your child to do? Likewise, what are your child's concerns? From wanting to eat only vegetarian meals to having the opposite sex sleep over, "Getting the issues out on the table right away is more important than settling on the rules," Stotland adds. "Once you iron out a plan, make a point of revisiting it every few months or even weeks to see if everyone's concerns are being met."
Have it your way. One of the biggest issues for most adult children is that they think there should be no rules for them in their parents' home, Ende says. "Make it clear that it's your house. Sure, an adult child can express an interest in doing things a certain way, but until he or she pays the mortgage, you get to make the rules."

"We played well at times in the first and third sets," said ECCHS coach Diane Gies. "We're an inexperienced team playing well at this time of the year against a ranked opponent.
"We went out fighting. We've come a long way this season, peaking at the right time. It is a testament to the leadership shown by the seniors. The three seniors have meant a lot to this program."

The second set was back and forth early, with Clarion taking a 7-5 advantage. They would gradually increase their lead to six, 16-10, before Meholic gave Elk the serve back on a kill, 16-11. Clarion got the serve right back. With Rebekah Nesbitt serving, the Lady Bobcats opened a 21-11 lead. Clarion would go on to win the set 25-13.
The third set was again a back-and-forth affair. With the score tied at 13, Clarion went on a 4-0 run to take a 17-13 lead. The Lady Crusaders got the serve back trailing 19-15. A block by Meholic and Jessie Ginther made the score 19-16. Meholic recorded two kills to make it 19-18 before Clarion got the serve back. A kill by Anna VanEerden gave the serve back to ECC trailing 21-19. The Lady Bobcats would go on to win the set 25-19, giving them a 3-0 match victory.

Happy Labor Day from the JLA and Mike Judge!
Much as I enjoyed Mike Judge's live-action theatrical debut, Office Space, when I saw an advance screening of the movie lo those many years ago, I thought it would have been even funnier if it had been animated. Maybe that's an
