Minor League Ball Adds Up the Score
Published: August 30, 1998
(Page 2 of 2)
Norwich, likewise, has profited from its affiliation with the Yankees since the team was moved from Albany in 1995. Fans at Dodd Stadium have been able to watch Yankee stars like Strawberry and Tim Raines when they coming back following injuries and the pitcher Hideki Irabu, as well as younger players moving up. Even though the Navigators will not make the playoffs this year, attendance has remained fairly constant, averaging about 3,700.
The Bluefish, meanwhile, with a week to go during the regular season, have had 13 sellouts, including three in a row last weekend when the club also sold 200 standing room tickets. ''It's because of the stadium, the geography and the baseball itself,'' said Dowd, the general manager.
Still, some observers are skeptical about the future of the league itself, since two of the six teams were forced to play in other cities this season because their projected stadiums had not yet been built, including the Newark Bears who have played their games in virtual anonymity at Harbor Yard, usually when the Bluefish are on the road or during the afternoon when they are home.
But Dowd is optimistic. ''It can only get better for the league as a whole when the new stadiums are built,'' he said.
Bob Wirz, the president and an owner of the other independent team in the state, the Waterbury Spirit of the Northeast League, is convinced that a new stadium for his team is the answer. ''For Waterbury to compete in the league, we need a new facility,'' said Wirz, who also is an owner of the Brakettes' women's softball team in Stratford.
The present stadium, Municipal Stadium, has been extensively renovated since the Spirit began play last year and is the site of the opening game of the league playoffs on Wednesday night when a Waterbury native and former major league outfielder, Jimmy Piersall, will be honored before the game.
''But we still need more concession space, better restrooms and a few skyboxes,'' said Wirz. ''As it is, we're losing hundreds of thousands of dollars a year.''
Wirz, who lives in Orange, may get his wish. The board of a nonprofit Waterbury area organization, known as Waterbury 2000, which includes the Greater Waterbury Chamber of Commerce and Mayor Philip A. Giordano, recently voted in favor of a proposal to build a new baseball stadium, clost to Interstate 84, at a cost of up to $15 million. ''It would be tremendous for Waterbury,'' the Mayor said.
Wirz, whose team includes nine players from Connecticut, agrees. ''Historically, new ballparks have breathed new life into cities,'' he said. ''Look what happened in Cleveland and Baltimore, for example. And look at what's happening in Bridgeport. I think the same thing can happen to Waterbury.''
Meanwhile, Joe Buzas, 79 years old, who has owned 61 teams in 20 different cities over the last four decades, is still unsure as to whether he will sell his New Britain team to a group headed by two lawyers from the New Britain area, where a new stadium was built for the Rock Cats two years ago. ''I've set the price, and they've agreed to pay it,'' said Buzas. ''This isn't going to be an auction. One day, I think I'll sell, and the next day I want to keep the team. But I may be getting too old to keep going back and forth between Salt Lake and New Britain. But then I guess I could cut down on the trips and still keep the team. Also, I love the fans in New Britain, and I've got to know so many of them. If I sold the team, I'd really miss it. So right now I'm leaning 75 to 25 to keeping the team.''

The Need
The Community's Need for Diapers
- Diapers average a cost of $100 per month (babies need 8-12 diapers/day)
- No public assistance covers the cost of diapers including Food Stamps (SNAP) or WIC
- Disposable diapers are required by preschools and other child care facilities.
- Cloth diapers require access to sufficient laundry facilities, which many families do not have
- Incontinence is considered a growing concern among adults age 60 and older
- Last year (2015) we provided over 1 million diapers/adult incontinence items to our partner agencies, but still fell short of the need by roughly four hundred thousand.
For every $1 dollar donated, we can distribute $3 worth of diapers! Make a donation.

Access to a sufficient supply of diapers is essential for the health of Southern Arizona's infants, disabled and elderly, and the quality of life of our community, but too many individuals don't have the resources to adequately provide for this basic need.
As long as poverty exists, children and adults in our community will need diapers. The need is already great… and it's growing: just this past year, those living below the poverty line in Pima County grew by 27 percent meaning that 1 in 4 children is born into poverty annually.
In 2013, Tucson was ranked the 8th poorest major metropolitan area in the country by the U.S. Census Bureau; fully 37 percent of our city's children live below the federal poverty line–a heartbreaking statistic.
Resources for free or discounted diapers are few. Food Stamps and WIC cannot be used to purchase diapers. The Diaper Bank of Southern Arizona's goal is to bridge this gap in available resources for our community's neediest and most vulnerable populations, which we do working through our partner agencies.
Infant and Children Needs
Shortage of diapers can lead to serious impacts on the well being of those in need. Parents without sufficient resources often allow children to wear diapers for too long during the day, or try to clean and reuse disposable diapers, putting children at risk for staph and other infections. The likelihood of abuse increases when a baby is in a household facing the stresses of poverty, and increases even more when that baby is crying due to the discomfort of a soiled diaper and the health issues that can result.
An analysis completed by the Children's Action Alliance of Arizona in 2009 concluded that at current costs, a family of four earning $33,920 annually (based on two parents earning $8.15 per hour, equating to 160 percent of the current poverty rate) would spend all but $54 of their monthly income on housing, utilities, child care, transportation, food, and taxes. That $54 each month pay for diapers, clothing, personal items, school supplies, haircuts, and other needs for four people. Diapers for one child cost nearly $100 per month, leaving working families struggling to provide the most basic necessities.
At the same time, daycare facilities require that parents provide sufficient disposable diapers to meet the needs of their children while in the facility. In order to do so, parents may have to make difficult choices between purchasing diapers, paying bills, or buying groceries.
Disabled Needs
Many disabled people are obliged to wear diapers for a variety of reasons, incontinence and inability to use a bathroom unaided among the most common. This is a life-long, everyday reality for many disabled persons, and both the prevalence and the frequency of bladder problems associated with many disabilities increase with age.
According to Pima County government statistics used for planning services for disabled adults, in 2007, 13 percent of Pima County residents between the ages of 16 and 64 were disabled – 76,940 people. Of those disabled adults, 31 percent live below 150 percent of the federal poverty level. These numbers only include people with disabilities who are living independently, either alone or with family – not those who are institutionalized and have greater access to care.
If not for the Diaper Bank's monthly incontinent supply donations to our partner agencies, many of our community's disabled would suffer decreased quality of life, ranging from constant discomfort due to accidents to being unable to leave their homes. The Diaper Bank is also committed to providing information to disabled adults about the potential to overcome or reduce incontinence, especially for clients for whom mobility is the primary problem. We provide information about aids designed to improve independence, such as commodes and personal urinals, aids to be used in the bathroom, such as raised toilet seats, and the incontinence devices we supply, such as briefs and pads.
Elderly Needs
Pima County has one of the highest concentrations of older adults in the southwest; more than 20 percent of Pima County's population is over 60 years of age. By 2020 it is projected to be 25 percent, one in four. Pima County's 60 plus population increased 138 percent in the last 28 years while the total population increased 90 percent. The fastest growing segment of the aging population is individuals over 85, the most vulnerable who tend to need assistance. At a time when Southern Arizona's communities need to be building infrastructure and planning to care for our increasing aging population, services are instead being reduced for even the lowest-income seniors.
More than 12,000 (8.5 percent) of Pima County's elderly population live below the federal poverty level, leaving many unable to pay for critical services. Pima Council on Aging (PCOA) conducted the Community Needs Assessment 2011-2013 and published the Area Plan on Aging. The report identified major problem areas for seniors including, lack of affordable dental and health care, understanding Medicare, maintaining and repairing their home, access to transportation, assistance with meals, housekeeping, laundry and personal care. "More pronounced in this current needs assessment, though, was the number of individuals concerned with income to meet their basic needs…"
The supplies distributed by the Diaper Bank through our partner organizations is part of a larger continuum of services that not only supports Southern Arizona's older adults remaining in their own homes, but also contributes to their dignity and quality of life. If not for the Diaper Bank's monthly incontinence supply donations to our partner agencies many of our community's elderly would be unable to leave their homes to due to fear of embarrassment, and would live in compromised comfort even while at home.

Swiftvet author threatened with lawsuit
Posted: February 23, 2005
9:19 p.m. Eastern
By Art Moore
Picking up where he left off with best-seller "Unfit for Command," author Jerome Corsi once again is entering a maelstrom with the impending publication of a book that blows the whistle on U.S. politicians and activists allegedly on the take from Iran's radical Islamic regime.
New York Daily News columnist Lloyd Grove plans to report tomorrow that Iranian-American activist Hassan Nemazee, a figure Corsi criticizes in his upcoming WND Books title "Atomic Iran: How the Terrorist Regime Bought the Bomb and American Politicians," has threatened the author with a $10 million defamation lawsuit.
Corsi, a WND columnist, was the co-author with John O'Neill of "Unfit for Command: Swift Boat Veterans Speak Out Against John Kerry," regarded by many political analysts as a crucial factor in the 2004 election after it reached the top of the New York Times list.
Nemazee is a New York investment banker and former board member of the pro-Tehran lobby American-Iranian Council who served as Kerry's chief Iranian-American fund-raiser during the recent presidential campaign.
Corsi, whose book is scheduled for an April release, told WorldNetDaily the multi-million-dollar threat does not concern him.
"Why so little?" is his response, Corsi said, pointing out one of his sources already has been sued by Nemazee for $10 million, Aryo Pirouznia, leader of the Student Movement Coordination Committee for Democracy in Iran.
"I'll say the same thing as I said to John Kerry I'll send him the Federal Express package and save him the trouble," Corsi said.
According to Grove, Nemazee is upset at allegedly being cast as an agent of the mullahs who control Iran.
Corsi insists the book does not make that claim.
"I don't have any proof of that," he said. "But he was part of the pro-mullah lobby who worked with the Iranian-American Council, a group whose policy was to establish relations with the mullahs."
During testimony last October in his suit against Pirouznia, Nemazee admitted Tehran's Islamic regime is sympathetic to terrorism and presented a threat to the world and the United States, essentially repudiating Kerry's position on Iran.
Despite top Iranian officials openly calling for the development of nuclear weapons and overwhelming confirmation from intelligence, Kerry had vowed that as president he would provide Tehran with nuclear fuel as long as it were used only for peaceful purposes.
Nemazee warned that Kerry should do nothing to lend credibility to the regime and that normalizing relations with Iran would be a mistake.
However, the Iranian-American said he could not explain the inconsistency of having been a board member of a group on record in support of normalizing relations with Tehran.
Corsi said he still plans to take up residence in Boston this spring as the first step of a plan to challenge Kerry for his Senate seat in 2008.
He acknowledges an issue likely to come up amid publicity for the book and his political aspirations is allegations made by opponents last year of bigotry against Catholics, the pope and Muslims, based on some of his posts to the Internet site FreeRepublic.com.
Corsi insists he wrote the posts only to be satirical and provocative.
"I apologize to anyone who took them as a direct expression of my beliefs," he said.
Corsi emphasized he's a Catholic who has created a mutual fund for Israel and now is establishing a group led by two Muslims, called the Iran Freedom Foundation.
"I'm reaching out to Christians, Muslims and Jews to stop these criminal mullahs who have hijacked Islam and stolen a good country," he said.

"Atomic Iran: How the Terrorist Regime Bought the Bomb and American Politicians"
Art Moore is a news editor with WorldNetDaily.com.
Oh, I'll be this will be a GREAT book. And I'll bet we recognize some names.
I will be anxiously awaiting the release of this book.
What name does he post under?
Put me down for a copt too! This will be good.
He is a Catholic who posted brief, sarcastic and irreverent comments about the Pope, the priest abuse scandal, and the future of the Church. There was nothing bigoted about it, but it was used absurdly by the Clinton/Kerry attack teams. Keep in mind that his attackers were left wing zealots who have zero respect for the Pope or the Church. It was just their typical effort to shout down the Swiftvets.
"Nemazee is upset at allegedly being cast as an agent of the mullahs who control Iran. "
If the shoe fits............
Sounds like a good read to me!
"With the reconstruction of Iraq under way and the distraction of the U.S. presidential election behind us, focus will once again turn to a gathering threatThe Islamic Republic of Iran.
A charter member of the "axis of evil," this rogue terrorist state and the mullahs who govern it are on a collision course with American and European governments that seek to end its development of nuclear weapons. The influence of Iran cannot be discounted, however, because it has perfected the art of oil price manipulation in order to fund its nuclear endeavors, terrorist activities, and strategic contributions to key U.S. politicians who, in turn, work diligently at normalizing diplomatic and trade relations between the two nations.
In "Atomic Iran," Jerome Corsi, co-author of the best-selling "Unfit for Command," uncovers the true intentions and practices of the Iranian regime and gives light to the aid and comfort being supplied by some key U.S. politicians.
Uncovered is a web of pro-Iranian financiers who make significant campaign contributions to political leaders who affect U.S. trade policy towards Iran and are able to work at normalizing diplomatic relations, thereby legitimizing the rogue republic. This poses an immediate security threat to the United States. It allows the regime to take advantage of relaxations in the Patriot Act to begin importing terrorists under the disguise of diplomatic personnel.
Also revealed is the manipulation of world oil prices by Iran. Its restriction of supply has the dual effect of hindering the growth of world economies and increasing revenue for Iran, which is then used to fund international terrorism and its own deadly pursuits. Dr. Corsi warns that a nuclear Iran would devastate the Middle East through its tyrannical policies and threats and would have a significant impact on the world by using its control of 40 percent of the global oil supply to hold nations hostage with oil prices rising to over $100 and even $200 per barrel."
I'm working with Dr. Corsi on a new organization that will, among other things, continue the investigation into the Iranian mullahs influence in the U.S. that Jerry has begun in "Atomic Iran." This book is going to get a lot of attention.
If you'd like to be pinged occasionally to articles on this topic, just sit tight. If not, please let me know by freepmail.
Kick butt, Jerry.
Thanks for the ping!
Corsi had better have this story nailed down tight.
WOuld you please add me to that ping list? Thank you!
Watch your back, friend.
Please me PING as always!
I'll sit tight, thanks
Thanks for the ping!
I remember Albright babbling on about how wrong Bush's approach was and how we should continue to work with Iran...she saw some real progress (I guess as she did with North Korea). Somehow, though, I don't see her on the take. She strikes me more as a woman taken by both enemies and friends, which is what I'm sure Clinton found most appealing about her.
Thanks. I'll sit tight. :-)
Best of luck on the project!
keep me informed
Thanks, I just found it myself.....
Will be watching for the 'deconstruction of Corsi' by the Demrats. . .coming soon, no doubt.
Something tells me Corsi has all of i's dotted and t's crossed and it's an iron clad win for him even in front of the 8th Circus.
More on the American Leftists Unholy Alliance:
Namazee is a terrorist, so he fits right in with the anti-American, pro-terrorist Kerry organization.
I'd like to be a pingee too, please.
good grab, Hope...

Sorry Tonk -- I have no idea how you dropped off the vets-against-Kerry list.
You're back on that one now, as well as the new Iran freedom list.
You're in...
I, too, would like to be added to your ping list, please.
Thanks, and welcome to the new list.
A lot of are thrilled that Mr. Corsi is going to run against Kerry. In fact he just might have a hearty welcoming crowd waiting for his arrival to the state, were folks to know when it was to be.
I'll pass the word... thanks again.
Thanks for the ping.
please add me to the ping list. thanks!
I'm guessing that Dr. Corsi might have some especially interesting info to raise for the 2008 Senatorial elections.
I certainly admire the man's courage.
I just happen to have duplicates of that actual page but here is the source :

Kerry Says He Will Repair Damage If He Wins Election
WASHINGTON (Mehr News Agency) -- The office of Senator John Kerry, the frontrunner in the Democratic presidential primary in the U.S., sent the Mehr News Agency an e-email saying that Kerry will try to repair the damage done by the incumbent president if he wins the election. The text of the e-mail follows." :
John Kerry was financed by Iran radicals
He posts under jrlc - and signs his posts with his real name (which is what got him into that mess with the libs).
I heard that he's thinking of running for senator from MA -- I'd love to see that!
The book should be a best seller!
As is often been claimed, we have the best politicians money can buy.

After 65 can you qualify for free taxes or is there a limit on what ss you can draw and get free taxes?<quoted text>
WRONG !!!! I and my husband are well over 65 and still have increases like anyone else. There is also a cap on the income (social security) for any reduction on taxes. Big joke ! They know what they're doing. Working all your life and trying to get a good social security check is for the birds. I know for a fact that those that didn't try hard are making it much better than ones who tried. FREE EVERYTHING!....while some have to pay out their whole (meager)checks for medical and food.

My husband and I live on an income of $750 a month from SSI disability. I do know that our taxes are approximately 290 a year. With the tax break we only pay $88 yearly. Every little bit helps.It all depends on your income and also your bank account. You just need to go pay them a visit and get the form. Hope this helps.
#109 Sep 2, 2012

How many of the apartments doyou think are getting subsidized assistance? I've heard lots of people come into our country knowing how to work the system, they rent a house or apartment get subsidized rent and several live together sharing the bills and knowing how to get lots of free stuff, and probably laughin all the way to the bank, they live like some of the older generation had to live,only buying what they need and saving as much as they can. I DO NOT like thinking like this and I hope its not true,especially the part about laughin all the way to the bank. But if were silly enough to allow it to happen,why shouldn't they?

I have never understood why people hate anyone who is wealthier than they are, that is until they too become wealthy. If you hate rich people than the only way it is a consistant and reasonable thought is if you have no desire to become wealthy yourself. Having been around a while, it seems most everybody I have met would like to have more money, so who are these haters who would give all their money to charity to avoid becoming what they hate? Help me out here.
#117 Feb 6, 2013
Good lawd. More taxes is not the answer. We pay more than enough as it is......especially if you own a business. You do all the work and they take. Our county needs to make some cutbacks instead of a stupid wheel tax. Tax tax tax. It's my money I worked hard for.....get your hands out of my pocket.

Corruption alive and well here in Mayberry land. Anyone see the reserved signs at the courthouse for people paying their property taxes? The least we can do for those property owners who owe millions and millions of dollars to the county.
Why don't we all go to court and officially change our last name.
Small price to pay to receive a 90% deduction of our real estate taxes.
Another idea, we can ask the county executive, Kim Blaylock, if she would sign a check for $100,000 like she did for the UCDD director, Wendy Askins.
#123 Apr 11, 2013
What a country we live in. You don't have to pay real estate taxes if you are one of the chosen.
Check out
every public record I can find will be placed on that web site so the public has access to county records documenting misuse of monies entrusted to the county.
If you endorse a 90% discount of my real estate taxes, I'll make you my friend!
Wonder how many of the property owners will help fniance a 90% discount for me.

Edward Schimmel, a Northwood councilman, is running for mayor. An attorney, he is currently serving his second term on council.
He wants to draw new jobs to the city, address blighted residential and commercial properties, and improve communication between the city and residents.
"I was born and raised in Northwood," said Schimmel. "This is where I went to school, where I operate my law practice, and where my wife and I are raising our family. My decision to run for mayor is predicated on making the city a more prosperous place to live and work. I want to help the city provide good government for the residents and the businesses that call our city home."
Schimmel noted the impact the Great Recession has had on Northwood, which saw deep budget cuts and many vacant buildings due to failing businesses.
Sandy Drabik Collins, the widow of late Toledo Mayor D. Michael Collins, ended months of speculation and officially announced that she will run for Toledo mayor in the November election to fulfill the remaining two years of her late husband's term.
The announcement was held May 20 at her campaign headquarters located in Foundation Park at the corner of Glendale and South Byrne Road –the same campaign headquarters used by Mr. Collins for his 2013 mayoral campaign.
Polling conducted in April by Stan Odesky & Associates gave Mrs. Collins some encouragement about running. "I helped develop Mike's platform when he was elected in 2013. I know what has been accomplished. I know what parts of the platform still need to be met. I know what his next steps would have been. The fact that this research shows that voters want Mike's platform and policies continued made me feel more confident about running for mayor in November," she said.
Over a half million dollars in state funds will be used to help monitor and analyze water quality in the Western Basin of Lake Erie.
The US Geological Survey (USGS) will install 13 streamgages to monitor flood and water quality assessment data in various locations throughout Lake Erie, according to State Rep. Michael Sheehy (D-Oregon).
"The funds have been committed and already approved," Sheehy told The Press last week.
Last August, 500,000 Toledo water customers in Northwest Ohio and southeast Michigan were left without clean drinking water for three days after toxic algae blooms contaminated the water supply at the Collins Park water treatment plant in East Toledo. Samples from the plant, which draws its water from the Western Basin, showed that microcystin, produced by blooms of cyanobacteria, was detected at levels that exceeded the safety threshold established by the World Health Organization.
Two neighboring school districts with levy requests on the May 5 ballot have tentative plans to cut spending on operations by a combined $1.8 million if they don't receive additional revenues.
In their levy campaigns, however, the administrations and school boards of the Genoa and Woodmore districts, are citing different reasons for how they arrived at their current financial situations.
In the Genoa district, voters will decide an additional 5-mill, 5-year emergency levy that would, if approved, generate approximately $1.025 million annually, and a 5-mill, 5-year renewal levy that generates about $400,000 a year.
The administration has been focusing on the loss of revenue from the state during presentations at forums and meetings with residents to promote the levies.
"The bottom line for us is our problem stems from reductions by the state," Bill Nye, treasurer, said in a recent interview.
The district receives about half of its operating revenues from the state and about a third from local real estate taxes.
Revenues from tangible personal property taxes – levied on business inventory and equipment - have dropped as the state phased those taxes out. Reimbursements from the state to help schools and local governments by offsetting the loss of revenues have also dropped.
A judgment against a woman for unjust enrichment stemming from her stay at a Gibsonburg health care facility has been upheld by the Ohio Sixth District Court of Appeals.
The appeals court agreed with a judgment by the Sandusky County District Court against Elena Miniet for $13,837
Miniet had been a resident of the Wood Lane Health Care facility since 2008, In August 2012, she lost her Medicaid benefits and didn't pay the facility from October 2012 through November 2013, when she was discharged and moved to another facility, according to court records.
Gibsonburg Health LLC filed suit for breach of contract, unjust enrichment and related violations and sought $13,837 in damages and the district court ruled in its favor.

A protein drink that actually tastes good. most protein drinks go unfinished by me. this one (vanilla) and the strawberry flavor are both excellent. sometimes i do a scoop of each to mix the flavors.
Posted by Reviewer1798661 on Dec 15, 2011
I've tried many different brands, they all claim to have "delicious taste" but this is rarely the case. This whey is the most tasty one I've ever tried. And even better, the product is pretty clean and healthy!
The best whey I've tried!
Posted by Reviewer1715865 on Jan 31, 2012
This is an excellent quality whey protein concentrate (not isolate) from pastured cows. It's easy to digest and has a great taste, just the right amount of flavoring and sweetness, which I've found difficult to come by in a protein powder. The vanilla seems to be a little sweeter and more flavorful than the chocolate, but both are great. I alternate between this product and Mercola's Pure Power Protein, which is basically the same whey protein concentrate but with added probiotics and chia seeds. So glad I found this protein!
Posted by Reviewer1627174 on Apr 16, 2012
Nice taste, easy to blend, quality ingredients and no artificial sweeteners:) Love it!

KENT, Wash. -- A box of cremated human remains mysteriously showed up at a Kent park last week, and now deputies are trying to find the rightful owner.
A King County Parks worker found the remains in a nondescript brown box last Monday while mowing the lawn at Soos Creek Park.
A parks supervisor handed the box over to police, who began working to identify the owner.
A tag inside the box showed the remains belonged to a woman named Beatrice Elaine Park, who died at age 82 on May 18, 2004, according to the King County sheriff's office.
American Burial and Cremation Services was also listed on the box. When officers called the business, they were told the remains had been given to Beatrice's husband, Hugh Park, after her death.
But when officers tried to contact Park to return the ashes, they learned he died in 2006.
Now they're left trying to find next-of-kin or anyone else who has claim to the remains.
Anyone with information is asked to call the King County sheriff's office at (206) 296-3311 and reference case number 13-174358.

AbstractKVH Industries plans to take advantage of the work performed in Phase I, as well as some extensive internally-funded R&D, to create an affordable, accurate, FOG-based Northfinder. The Phase II approach entails designing a true null seeking servo driven system, using a highly accurate single-axis FOG to measure earth's rotation rate, integrated with two accelerometers for pitch and roll measurements. When treated as a target, North can be detected as the FOG is rotated until it ultimately measures 'zero.' The FOG optical circuit will be made from a small-diameter KVH fiber wound on a bobbin using a Quadrupole winding technique. Since the Phase I effort, KVH's small-diameter fiber has been perfected and tested with Quadrupole winding on standard production FOGs. Results of the accelerometer work performed in Phase I show that the pitch and roll accuracies required can be achieved, and an early Northfinding prototype recently built by KVH shows achievable North finding accuracy as well.

I have a multiboot system that I would like to use Grub to manage. The version of Grub shipping with my Linux distro is Grub2, and it installs its equivalent of stage 1.5-2, core.img, into the remaining sectors on the first track after the MBR but before the first partition. Unfortunately, those sectors are needed by another program.
I have a separate primary /boot partition. If I could only keep boot.img as my MBR but have it look in the /boot partition for core.img rather than the embedded one in the sectors immediately following the MBR, everything would work fine. Is this possible with grub2?

Scunthorpe manager Brian Laws could be forced into the loan market if defender David Mirfin's knee injury is more serious than first thought.
Mirfin missed Tuesday night's win at Walsall after sustaining the injury in last Saturday's FA Cup defeat at Gillingham and is now waiting to learn the severity of damage.
Laws told the club's official website: "The knee has not reacted as well as we thought so we're going to have him scanned.
"We'll wait for the results but we're hoping it's not serious. He has tried everything to make himself available, but there's a bit of soreness as well.
"If Mirf is out, though, it shows we have an issue because we don't really have any cover in the central defensive areas and that might be another area I have to concentrate on strengthening. We'll just have to wait and see."

Penn State's Interim President: 'My Heart Aches'
"My heart aches for the victims and the families and my mind searches for answers," Penn State University's interim president, Rodney Erickson, just said at the opening of a meeting of the school's board of trustees.
WPVI-TV is streaming the meeting here.
Erickson was referring, of course, to the arrest last weekend of former assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky for the alleged sexual abuse of at least eight young boys over the past decade, and the aftershocks that this week led to the firing of head coach Joe Paterno and school President Graham Spanier.
Sandusky says he's innocent. Paterno has not been charged with any crime. But Paterno has come under fire because a grand jury report says that after being told in 2002 about an incident involving Sandusky and a young boy in the Penn State locker room, he informed the school's athletic director but took no other action and did not prevent Sandusky (who had retired in 1999) to continue coming on campus.
Erickson also said this morning that the scandal is "a tragedy for many lives and it will take all of us some time to come to grips with the full magnitude of the damage that has been done."
But, he added, "I want all Penn Staters to know that our future is still bright" and that "our core values ... will define this university long after we've gone." Those values: "honesty, integrity, excellence and community."
Later today, the trustees plan to appoint a special committee to "determine what failures occurred" at the university.
Update at 12:50 p.m. ET: Trustee Kenneth Frazier, the CEO of drug giant Merck & Co., will chair the special investigations committee, the university says. In a statement, the school adds that "the complete committee membership will be determined and announced in the near future and is expected to be composed of a majority of Board of Trustee members with representatives from each of the board's constituencies as well as representatives of the Penn State community including faculty, students and alumni."

Chef of the Week: Inspiration in the Kitchen
Published: Wednesday, May 12, 2010 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, May 11, 2010 at 7:27 p.m.
FLAT ROCK — Peter Fassbender remembers always looking forward to the family going out for dinner because he liked trying new dishes.
Peter's chef must-haves
Cooking utensil: "I like those long, multipurpose chef knives."
Spices: "Salt and pepper, because people don't know how versatile they are, but they go well with everything. "
Ingredients: "Basil and fresh herbs. You would be surprised at the flavor and aroma they have right out of the ground, as opposed to the ones you buy in the supermarket."
In his refrigerator at all times: "Ice cream. I like moose tracks and almost every flavor."
At home, he liked making his own meals because he said his mother wasn't a good cook.
"I watched cooking shows and liked to experiment," he said. "I wouldn't eat what my family cooked for me, so I cooked for myself. I made big messes. My mother would always go behind me, cleaning up."
Fassbender, a native of Chile and the executive chef at Season's at Highland Lake Inn in Flat Rock, was studying to become an industrial engineer at Texas A&M University when he decided to become a chef. It was a hard decision to make, but he knew being an engineer wasn't for him.
"I could not picture myself in an office all day long," he said. "My father was a petroleum engineer, and I had no way of telling him."
He studied to become a chef in Peru and had begun working in a restaurant when one of his Italian customers offered him a job. Fassbender accepted and left Peru to work in a restaurant in Italy. Wanting more training, he enrolled in Le Cordon Bleu in Paris, receiving his diploma in 2001.
He worked all over South America, Europe and the U.S. before joining the staff at Highland Lake Inn in 2004.
"My favorite job was chef because you use your creativity with dishes," he said. "When you are a chef and make the menu, it becomes your offspring."
An executive chef has to take time developing budgets and working on administrative duties. Fassbender says he likes his job but doesn't get to spend as much time in the kitchen as he used to when he was a chef.
When he gets the chance to cook, he relishes his time in the kitchen.
Fassbender recently gave a demonstration of pan searing trout in the restaurant's large kitchen. As the fish took about 10 minutes to cook, blue and orange flames rose up from the burners and the aroma filled the air.
"Seeing the flames and heat rising up is more like an adventure for me," he said. "You use all of your senses when cooking. The visual impact of food is as important as the taste."
The chef of 18 years said he never would have imagined millions of people becoming fans of cooking shows and chefs.
"When I started this career, chefs weren't perceived as stars," he said. "A chef's job isn't what it is like on television because you work 12 hours a day, six days a week."
Thai Gulf Shrimp

40 shrimp, heads on
1 tablespoon Thai curry paste

1 dash mirin
3 cans coconut milk
1 dash of fish sauce

¼ cup tomato paste
For garnish:
2 cups basmati rice, cooked
1 cup cooked fingerling potatoes
1 banana leaf

Sautee lemongrass, leeks and garlic. Add turmeric and curry paste. Deglaze with mirin, then add fish sauce. Combine ingredients well, then add coconut milk, stock and lemon juice. Keep simmering on low for 30 minutes.

North Carolina Farm-raised Sunburst Trout
Trout filet with pecan crust lace, baked sweet potato slices, baby spinach, in a brown butter and blood orange glaze.
4 trout fillets
2 sweet potatoes
4 cups baby spinach
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 teaspoon garlic, minced
½ cup white wine
1 teaspoon brown sugar
For Blood Orange Glaze:
10 blood oranges, juice only
½ cup honey
For Brown Butter:
1 pound butter
For Pecan Lace Tuile:
10 ounces pecans,
toasted and ground
10 ounces sugar
8 ounces softened butter
10 ounces corn syrup
3 ounces all-purpose flour
Start by making the pecan lace. Cream sugar and butter with a spatula until smooth. Gradually add corn syrup mixing until smooth and even. Add flour and mix. Fold in nuts.
Lay on oven tray as thin as possible; bake for 5 minutes at 350 degrees. Once out of the oven, cut desired shapes and let cool down.
Cut sweet potato into ½-inch thick rounds and steam until tender. Set aside and sprinkle brown sugar on top.
For the brown butter, heat 1 pound of butter in a double boiler or a bowl set over simmering water. This will make the butter split into solids and liquids. With a ladle, spoon the clarified butter (liquid) into a saucepot. Heat butter until it turns nut brown. Set aside.
For the blood orange glaze, juice all oranges, add honey and let reduce to a syrup. Set aside.
Saute trout seasoned with salt and pepper. Sautee the sweet potato round and the spinach with some garlic.
Put sauce on plate, put one sweet potato disc on plate and top with spinach. Put another sweet potato round over spinach and then more spinach on top of that.
Lay trout filets on plate and add the pecan tuile, which has now hardened.

I have to say, when I read the DVD case and saw that this plot wasn't told chronologically, the first word that came to mind was "gimmick." For "Memento" it made sense to tell things backward, because of the whole memory-impairment center of the story, but here Nolan was doing it again in an earlier movie? I was set to see a sort of warmup run, especially because this one was made with almost no budget at all.
Okay, so I was wrong. "Following" tells a few different lines of the story at once, but it doesn't tell them in reverse; here the idea is that the story's framework is a conversation between our main character and another man who's interviewing him in the opening moments. In the (dryly funny) director commentary, Nolan says he's trying to provide the viewer with details and themes in a "conversational" way. Maybe that's a conceit, but dang it, the mixed up storyline worked on this one too.
Two other common points of the two movies: they're built on incredibly spare, lean writing, and they really, really reward watching at least twice.
Following, if anything, is even more minimalistic than Memento; it's literally true that you come out of the movie not knowing any of the characters' real names.Read more ›
Bill is a struggling writer who has been on his own for quite sometime. During that time he has become very bored and needs to find ways to kill time. He starts to follow people... anybody who seemed interesting to him. At first it was supposed to be a way for him to gather material for characters in his stories, but soon he becomes obsessed and cannot stop following people. Once a thief, Cobb, catches Bill in the act, he decides to allow him to enter his world of robbing houses, showing Bill how to really violate the lives of strangers. Soon everything starts to spin out of control and things for Bill will never be the same as he starts to learn that somebody just might be trying to use him as a decoy.... but a decoy for what? This dark film noir will keep you watching and thinking, even when it's all said and done. Then, you're going to want to watch it again.
Very much like "Memento," Nolan screws around with time, forcing us to remember exactly what has happened and the order they occurred in. However, the movie is not backwards, it is very much out of order in parts, so pay attention to every little detail that you come across. Is this film confusing? Yes, it is, or at least the first time you see it. This is a movie that will require you to watch it at least two times. Although I thought this was a good movie, I was a little disappointed with the length of the movie. It is only 70 minutes long, which isn't very long at all. It's also not widescreen, but I'm sure that' s because it wasn't filmed that way.Read more ›
I saw this film accidentally because I grabbed the box too hastily from the video store, but boy am I glad I did!
Highly recommended.
Why do I want to review it?
Well, one reason is that I wanted to talk about the first first film made by one of the best directors working today. Another incentive was the presence of actual ideas. Following is unpredictable, and does not use proven formulas. It works because it is genuinely interesting and compelling.
You have probably never heard of the actors involved. The two principals haven't had much of a career since, but I enjoyed their performances. The film is full of mysteries and revelations, so I am not going to talk about everything that happens. Instead, I'll limit most of my comments to things we learn in the opening 10 minutes.
The film grabbed my attention after two minutes during the opening narration by Bill (Jeremy Theobald), who is the main character. He tells us that he's unemployed, and frequently bored and lonely. In order to combat his boredom, he decides to start following people at random. In his own mind, he's an aspiring writer, although he probably views himself that way to justify his miserable existence. He's interested in people and what motivates them. When he's following someone, he has a certain set of rules, such as not pursuing women along dark alleys at night. He's a keen observer, but not a predator of any kind. He follows people of any gender, watches what they do, and then leaves.Read more ›

Hannibal Lecter prepares Sweetbreads with human organs at the beginning of Red Dragon. Should this go in the article? :)
- I don't think so. I don't see it's particularly relevant. KeithD 10:10, 8 December 2005 (UTC)
Depends whether he gives a recipe.--Syd Henderson 00:54, 27 October 2006 (UTC)
- I think the "popular" culture references should be removed. Many foodstuffs are mentioned in popular culture and the mention in an encyclopedia article is against WP editorial policy. VirginiaProp 18:37, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
- Your disagreement is wrong. Pop Culture references are discouraged by WP policy (See WP:Trivia. If you disagree with the policy, that's fine and you should bring it up on the appropriate page, but your statement that you "disagree" with a factual statement is pretty stupid. 18.104.22.168 (talk) 12:20, 12 February 2008 (UTC)
- Actually WP:Trivia does not discourage pop cultural references per se; it discourages disorganized lists of miscellaneous facts. Pop cultural facts that are relevant to the article are encouraged. See also WikiProject Popular Culture. Dforest (talk) 20:33, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
Reference to an item in relationship to popular culture, literature, etc is valid, but it should be in its own section noted as such. Hence, including the Red Dragon in the article is valid within the context of a Popular Culture & Literature section. --Bmoshier (talk) 19:05, 9 June 2013 (UTC)
I disagree with having a reference to what someone said in a movie tied to a scholarly article. Although I feel it's an interesting reference, Hannibals use of sweetbread does not define what sweetbread truly is. If using pop culture references in wikipedia was overly allowed we would have everyone quoting spongebob squarepants for saying barnacle, do you really feel that helps define anything? Lets think of another movie reference.... Idiocracy.
Adverse effects?[edit]
Aren't there adverse effects to eating endocrine glands? I recall a study on the consumption of the thyroid leading to hyperthyroidism. While i can't say the same for the thymus gland, I can speculate that an excess of pancreatic hormones can't be too good for your health.
Pancreatic hormones are all peptides, so they'll all be digested pretty quickly in the small intestine. Even if they weren't, they'd have no waay of getting from the gut to the bloodstream, so they wouldn't have any effect. Thyroid hormones are lipophilic small molecules, so they're much more able to survive digestion and escape the gut. So relax and enjoy those ris de veau! -- Tom Anderson 2006-08-18
Missing info[edit]
How did sweetbread get its name?
Need more info and reference on claim about vitamins and minerals.
Also needs nutritional info. Possible health benefits? used as cure for xxx ? Chinese remedies?
Agreed, article needs nutritional info 220.127.116.11 (talk) 17:44, 17 June 2012 (UTC)
Food and Drink Assessment[edit]
Class of article is clearly at "start" class as opposed to "stub" as it has a substantial amount of information and at least one source. However, WP editorial guidelines are not adhered to and it needs more sources and notes to move further. Importance is at "mid" level. VirginiaProp 18:37, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
What is a sweetbread? Verification[edit]
I have read at least 10 definitions of sweetbread online and none of them say it is the from the heart of the animal. Most say it comes from the thymus gland or pancreas and even the stomach. According to what I read, there are two locations for the thymus gland; they are found in the neck and and near the heart (which is why it is sometimes referred to as heart sweetbread). Regardless, almost all the definitions state sweetbreads come from the throat and pancreas. The consistency of this leads me to believe the information in this article is not entirely accurate. In fact, I've seen and heard of people eating beef/veal hearts and it was never referred to as sweetbread. So I truly believe they are totally different things and that this article is wrong. I guess I'll just have to ask my butcher to actually find out more about this. --Zelda2727 (talk) 06:06, 29 November 2007 (UTC)
- after further research online I came across sweetbreads mentioned in a book preview on google called, Cupboard Love: A Dictionary Of Culinary Curiosities, By Mark Morton. Here is a link: http://books.google.com/books?id=qn-DASgdhiAC&pg=PA300&lpg=PA300&dq=culinary+dictionary+sweetbread&source=web&ots=Ka1HXvOLfE&sig=NaXp22Sv_H8yRnvMh4g0c39OwoE --Zelda2727 (talk) 09:00, 29 November 2007 (UTC)
I just finished reading "The Scavenger's Guide to Haute Cuisine" by Steven Rinella, and he makes it very clear. He too is baffled by the two "types" of sweetbreads--throat and heart-- and is finally taken by an oldtimer to a slaughterhouse where he gets to see it in action. As it turns out, the sweetbreads are ALL from the same thymus gland in the same place--in the neck-- but the "throat" sweetbreads are more cylindrical and symetrically wrap around the more round "heart sweetbread" part, which resembles a heart. Alabamagene (talk) 04:02, 18 December 2008 (UTC)
Article needs to be reworked[edit]
This article is way off as far as factual information goes and needs to be redone. The part about the thymus being two distinct organs in the throat is incorrect. The thymus is in the neck, but in fetal anatomy it extends down into the chest and covers part of the heart, as the animal ages it retracts to end up only in the throat. Also, from my understanding, there are two types of sweetmeats "heart" type which is the thymus, and "stomach" type which is the pancreas. (D.c.camero (talk) 03:46, 29 May 2008 (UTC))
Need etymology[edit]
Need etymology. Why are they called sweetbreads? Badagnani (talk) 04:12, 21 July 2008 (UTC)
- In other words, why are sweetmeats made of bread, and sweetbread made of meat? 126.96.36.199 (talk) 01:51, 21 September 2008 (UTC)
OED says: "Apparently from sweet + bread, but no reason for the name is obvious". However, Wikipedia says "Once dry and chilled, they're often breaded and fried until crisp." -- which may be why, but who knows. -- 188.8.131.52 (talk) 05:30, 21 September 2008 (UTC)
one sections says the heart sweet breads are preferred while the other says the throat. I'm going to remove both instances of saying one is preferred over the other.188.8.131.52 (talk) 01:52, 24 August 2009 (UTC)
Could Sweet actually come from Suet? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 22.214.171.124 (talk) 08:25, 9 January 2013 (UTC)
Nicer picture, perhaps just the sweetbread on its own?[edit]
This is a pretty off putting image in my opinion. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Steviesteveo1984 (talk • contribs) 21:50, 16 October 2009 (UTC)
Article currently has:
- "Bread" may come from Old English word "bræd" 'flesh.' http://www.etymonline.com/index.php?term=brawn Online Etymology Dictionary entry for "Brawn"
First of all, the ref should be to term=sweet, not term=brawn, because what needs to be supported is the claim that bread < bræd, not that bræd means flesh. Secondly, it's not clear where the Online Etym Dict gets bræd as "flesh" in OE. OED has bræd as flesh in Proto-Germanic, but it is not attested in OE; its reflex brawn appears in Middle English, apparently via Old French. What does appear is a verb brædan 'to roast'. I don't know OE, so I don't know if it's plausible that the compound sweet+bræd could mean 'sweetroast'. On the other hand, OE bread had a meaning of 'morsel', and 'sweetmorsel' seems just as likely. --macrakis (talk) 16:53, 4 January 2010 (UTC)
Ris de veau[edit]
We have a separate article on ris de veau. I don't see any reason for this; it is just the French term for veal sweetbreads, and WP is not a multilingual dictionary. I recommend merger into this article. --macrakis (talk) 13:29, 13 May 2010 (UTC)

I am a Brit raised in California, now living in the UK again. I moved back to the UK to spend time with family and get my Masters degree in PR. I now work as a marketing manager for software company in Newcastle. I LOVE traveling because I like to see and experience new things and meet interesting people. That is also what led me back to live in the UK. I love being outdoors and anywhere with an outdoor space (ie balcony, terrace, patio) is heaven to me, as I moved from sunny San Diego, CA to the north east of England, and have felt sun deprived since moving back ;)

Cancer Health Center
Genetics of Endocrine and Neuroendocrine Neoplasias (PDQ®): Genetics - Health Professional Information [NCI] - Introduction
Some families previously classified as having FMTC will go on to develop one or more of the MEN2A-related tumors, suggesting that FMTC is simply a milder variant of MEN2A. Offspring of affected individuals have a 50% chance of inheriting the RET gene mutation.
The age at onset of MTC is different for each subtype of MEN2. MTC typically occurs during early childhood in patients with MEN2B, predominantly during early adulthood in patients with MEN2A, and during middle-age in patients with FMTC.
Germline DNA -based testing of the RET gene (chromosomal region 10q11.2) identifies disease-causing mutations in more than 95% of individuals with MEN2A and MEN2B and in about 88% of individuals with FMTC.[3]
The prevalence of MEN2 has been estimated to be between 1 in 30,000 [4,5] and 1 in 35,000 individuals.[6] The vast majority of MEN2 cases are MEN2A. In the United States, an estimated 472 cases of MEN2-related MTC are diagnosed per year.[7]
PGLs and pheochromocytomas are rare tumors arising from chromaffin cells, which have the ability to synthesize, store, and secrete catecholamines and neuropeptides. In 2004, the World Health Organization characterized pheochromocytomas as tumors arising in the adrenal gland.[6] PGLs may occur sporadically, as a manifestations of a hereditary syndrome, or as the sole tumor in hereditary PGL/pheochromocytoma syndrome.

AB, cute little videos. Daughter and I loved them all. @ AW and Lala honestly, it angers me to know of Folks lying about medical problems to get a disability check. I don't feel that a person who is afraid to socialize with others should qualify for a free $800 check. They should be forced to integrate into the workplace.Folks who have contributed to being retired or are disabled by an honest reason should be compensated more. The honest Folks often suffer while the dishonest ones get their money for free. Most often children stand by their freeloading family. Well, the two of you have worked and have integrity that means more than anything;) I know, you all seem happier than someone I know who often complains about that check. Mental problems does not mean a person cannot work...and to get a raise then complain about it when you've never contributed to a steady income in the first place. Thanks to the Creator for small blessings. They brightn my days;) As I know good Folks like you appreciate instead of complain. I don't like misery myself. I avoid it like the bramble bushes.Sun is out. Daughter says she's never heard so much twitterpating. Hehehe.

A local funeral home charges around $2300 for a cremation. I was told by the proprietor several years ago that if the fee was paid up front then if you were to pass 10 years or so down the road, no extra charges would be added. This is a facility that has a crematorium. I discovered years ago that if one has financial difficulties and don't want to cause financial stress to family, this is the cheaper route to go. Fine day to All.
#87402 Mar 14, 2013
What I mean by free check? I mean this, a person who knows the are getting something they never contributed to versus hardworking, retired and genuinely disabled Folks. Good, morally upstanding Folks. That do not lie to their psychiatrist who is there to help them. Then laugh when they, the patient, pulls the wool over the physicians eyes. I told a person once: How do suppose you'll get treated if you aren't honest with the Doctor? Total silence.Off here for now. Blessings to OJG and her Dad. May his health improve soon.

Well, Dr. Spark, guess they lack morality, integrity and good work ethics. I myself prefer to work. Lackadaisical and mental are not two words that I would want to be referred. LOL. I wouldn't say folks like that " have it made." There is more financially gained by being employed privately or publicly. These citizens just use resources that for all intended purposes should be legitimately helping the good Folks who deserve the little bit they can get. Scoundrels:(

Hello my chirping friends,
I am sorry I have not been posting. I have extra research this week and next week...AND, as Lala would love for me to report, I have been taking too much social time! LOL Not the internet kind either. I think I need to check emails, my father said I emailed him weight loss stuff! OMGosh! He has his surgery on the 21st. <sigh> Between the worry for my father and the new friends, I have lost all focus, which is making it take a lot longer to get anything done.
I will post as much as I can, but it will be rough until after next week. I did want to stop and and pass out (((hugs))) and let you all know that you are always on my mind. Miss you guys!

You are absolutely right. When you pay in to social security, you are paying for the present pool of senior citizens. It is not a savings account for future use. It is well-worth purchasing an annuity, which can give you a better quality of life, financially speaking.

They are fools. What little they get will pay for only the basic necessities, with no extras. I would hate to be that young and have no goals, no pride, no plan. When everything comes crashing down, they are too old to get in the work force with any hope of a good job. The price you pay to develop a career results in greater rewards in the future, if/when they raise a family. Poor choices early in life starts to narrow your world until you find yourself in a box.

boo..... seriously snowing only in hardin county..... like having my own personal little cloud of doom. it was eighty two here last year on this day.
my poor aloes got a day out on the porch then had to be brought back in. hope they make it... i had like three big mamas and sixteen babes.... now i am down to the three mamas and only one baby is hanging on, i left it attached from last summer, probably the only reason its survived thus far, all the ones i transferred are done for. one of the mamas is trying to bounce back from a run in with the cat... don't think i will have that problem anymore, aloe being a natural laxative, don't think cat is doing to forget it anytime soon.

Environment Artist's profile reveal first Agent screenshots
The profile of a former Rockstar North environment artist has revealed multiple renders for Rockstar Games' Agent – a PlayStation 3 exclusive which has remained in the shadows since its announcement at E3 2009.
