There is a fee for these services; however, services are billed through insurance (their office will help you determine acceptable coverage). A second option is the EFR Student Assistance Program. There is no cost for this program, and parents can call 515-244-6090 to set up an appointment. The Waukee School District has paid for 6 free sessions for every student.
PBIS Expectations
The vision of Waukee Middle School upholds student achievement and good character. We are a Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports (PBIS) school and strongly believe in creating an environment that promotes and models the Five Keys to Success:
Trustworthiness, Fairness, Caring, Respect, and Responsibility.
Advisory time is a vehicle to teach, promote, and reinforce good character and positive behaviors. All students are expected to participate and be a positive force in these sessions. Additionally, PBIS is infused in the individual classes, hallways, cafeteria, on the bus, at assemblies and field trips, extra-curricular activities and in general throughout the day to further promote good character and positive behavior. The intent of the PBIS program is to focus on appropriate behaviors so that WMS continues to be positive, safe environments where optimal learning takes place.

Standards Based Reporting
A Standards-Based Progress Report gives you information about how your student is progressing toward meeting the Waukee Community School District's Standards during the course of the school year in each class.
What do Standards Specify?
Standards specify what all students should know and be able to do:
Your student's performance is measured against the standard, rather than simply being compared to other students in his or her class. It gives every student the opportunity to meet or exceed our district's standards. It gives you, parents or guardians, a more detailed and honest assessment of how your student is progressing academically. Behavior is reported out separately and is as important as the academic report, as they are the habits that students will need to be successful in high school and beyond.

Name: Zubin Wadia
Gender: Male
Age: 18
Grade: 12th
School: Aurora High School
Hobbies and Interests: Video games, hanging out, TV, internet, math club (president), debate club, varsity field hockey (manager), varsity swimming (captain), varsity track (captain)
Appearance: Zubin is very small for his age, standing at only 5 feet, 5.5 inches tall, and weighing only 124 pounds. His thick, black hair has flecks of blond in it (he bleached it at the end of swim season and cut it about a month before the game started) and is either combed to his right or left hanging down to about his eyes. His skin is a light brown, altogether making his Asian Indian roots apparent. The feature that most people notice is his mustache, which many people either compare to Borat or Luigi, the former of which secretly annoys him to no end. Zubin shaves about once every two weeks or when an important occasion comes up, causing his chin and neck to range from being clean shaven to being covered in thick hair. His dark brown eyes are framed by rectangular black, thin-framed glasses that sit on top of his large nose. Some noticeable marks include a birthmark near the left corner of his lip (normally covered by his mustache), and a black spot on the knuckle of his right pinky, a result of when he accidentally stabbed himself with a pencil while reaching for a power cord in the office of his house.
Zubin dresses fairly casually, normally wearing khakis and a T-shirt with either a collared shirt or his favorite black "EVIL: A Growth Industry!" sweatshirt, a Casio Waveceptor watch on his left wrist, sneakers and gray socks, and a black, wide-brimmed fedora hat - while he looks like a bit of a geek, he is able to make such a look work in his favor. When he is working out or in some sort of athletic activity, he wears workout pants or shorts instead. On the day he was kidnapped, Zubin was wearing his fedora, a pair of tan Dockers pants, white New Balance sneakers with gray socks, and his favorite Order of the Stick T-shirt and Mass Effect N7 sweatshirt - both black, the T-shirt has "GOOD: A Renewable Resource!" on the front with a picture of O-Chul stating "The compensation is generally deferred" above the sentence "Independently Owned and Operated." The N7 sweatshirt has a general motif imitating Commander Shepard's N7 armor in high density ink.
Biography: Zubin Wadia was born on August 8, 1993 in New York City to father Jimmy, a computer programmer, and mother Goolcher, a medical student, adding to older sister Roxanne, four years his senior and currently a medical student herself. His early life was fairly uneventful, except for when they moved to Seattle in 1997 after Jimmy received a job there at IBM, while Goolcher worked at a nearby hospital. Zubin, due to his age, had few issues with this move, although Roxanne had some issues uprooting herself and leaving her friends, although she was able to acclimate to Seattle. Due to his parents' lines of work, Zubin has been quite well off throughout his life.
Zubin, while friendly, didn't have a lot of friends in elementary school, and was in fact a bit of a target, partially because he spent much of his time watching TV, playing video games, and reading books and Internet articles (mostly in the subject of math and science, which he has always shown a knack for) when he was at home, he was a little hyperactive and seen as weird, and because he would lash back by losing his temper at people who tormented him, which some people found funny. However, he did join the Cub Scouts in second grade and started taking self-defense classes in fourth grade, the former by his parents' suggestion to get him out of the house and doing things, and the latter because he had been interested in "Power Rangers" at the time, and his parents eventually relented to the request.
Middle school was a bit of a change from elementary school, as he managed to quiet down somewhat. This more mellow personality allowed him to speak to people while looking less unusual, gaining him some respect and friends. Over this time, he also joined the Boy Scouts, where he went on various camping trips and to Scout Camp, allowing him to learn many skills, including wilderness survival, first aid, wall climbing, and shooting.
When Zubin was in fifth grade, SOTF started up. While Zubin didn't take much notice then, he gradually followed the show more and more throughout the next three years, up until version 4 in 2008, when he was a very religious follower, mainly following through when his parents were not around, so as not to get caught. While many SOTF fans had a genuine interest in the game, Zubin's motivation for following the show was somewhat different: namely, he was afraid that he could be taken next. This manifested in long hours watching SOTF, his creation of a list of rules on how to survive the game, and an absolute refusal to go on any field trips, which he only violated because his parents forced him to go, which was the only time he hinted at his fear of SOTF. Two things have brought him out of this phase - the rescue during version 4, and the lack of kidnappings following his freshman year in 2009. Since then, he has mellowed out, with help from family and friends, and has since admitted that he took the whole thing too far.
When Zubin joined the Aurora High student body, Zubin integrated himself with the others relatively quickly, joining the debate team, where he shows a quick wit during the public speaking portions, as well as joining the math team and the varsity swimming and track teams - swimming to help him get the Swimming merit badge, and track because he liked walking and running around, doing the 50 and 100 freestyle for swimming, and the 800 meter run as well as keeping the books for the track team, eventually rising to captain of the swim and track teams, and president of the math club. This led him to having to stop his self-defense and Boy Scouts due to the time commitment required. During the summer of his freshman year, he started weight training with his father at his father's suggestion, an activity he continued during the fall of sophomore year with the school's Strength and Conditioning group. This lasted for one year, when he decided to try something new and joined the varsity field hockey team in his junior year, with which he attended practice as an active participant and attended games as the team manager. This has allowed him inroads with a large group of people, and a large boost in self-confidence, allowing him to stand up for himself and keep calm without directly involving superiors, even though he avoids outright fighting, as he does not see himself as physically able to stand up to anyone who would pick on him. Through all this, he is still slightly insecure, always thinking about what to do next to make sure he comes off right, and seeing himself as too skinny, especially in comparison to his rather cut father. This is due to his activities, which promote lean muscle growth and a toned physique, as opposed to the more bulky build of a bodybuilder that his father possesses.
Zubin would currently describe himself as a member of the "outer in-crowd" - although he does not see himself as being popular, his friendly demeanor, distinctive looks, wit, and his more positive quirks helps give him a positive rapport with much of the school. Academically, he states that "his grades do not do him justice," as he can normally understand and make links to the subject matter quickly, especially through one-on-one discussion or experimentation, as evidenced by the fact that he is taking four AP classes, however, many times he feels that he has fully grasped the subject matter before he truly does, causing him to not study much, preferring to play video games, watch TV, or hang out with friends instead, which drags his grades down from a potential A average a high B. He looks forward to going to college at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, where he was accepted through Early Decision in November, mainly because of the freedom it will bring him. His home life is has a pretty decent. He doesn't talk much to his sister, at first due to the difference in age, and currently due to the distance and her busy schedule. Regarding his parents, he does believe that are too strict sometimes, especially manifesting when they try to make him take a choice that he disagrees with when he feels he has the right to make the decision himself. As a result, he sometimes does not ask for help when he would be better off doing so. In spite of that and the fact that he disagrees with some of their political ideology (his parents are very conservative, while Zubin describes himself more as center-right), they are still close and love and respect one another, although he hangs out and identifies more with his father than his mother on many things.
Advantages: Mentally, Zubin's experiences and time spent online have given him a wide range of knowledge and skills that would be useful in the game, most notably Tae Kwon Do and Hapkido (from self-defense classes), the basics of shooting guns, survival, and first aid (from the Boy Scouts), although all have been done in a controlled environment (camping trips, target shooting, sparring, etc.), and having not had much practice since the age of fifteen. Zubin is one to think things through before doing things, and whether it is called pragmatism or cowardice, he rarely involves himself in any situation where he feels he could be harmed. Physically, he is deceptively fit, having participated in field hockey, swimming, track, and weight training. Socially, Zubin would describe himself as a member of the "outer in-crowd:" while not one of the most popular members of the student body, he is well-liked in general, and has no distinct enemies. His social habits have made him good at blending in. Back when SOTF was on, he followed it religiously and would be able to make a basic plan as to how to survive longer in the game.
Disadvantages: Zubin is terribly nearsighted without his glasses - without them, he can make out very little detail. Due to his small size, Zubin isn't very strong - in fact, in a straight physical fight Zubin would probably lose almost every time. His quiet nature means that while he has few enemies, he similarly does not have many people with whom he would consider a close friend or vice versa. While he has mostly taken care of this problem with his rise in self-esteem, Zubin still occasionally gets very short and inconsiderate when under stress, which could alienate all but his closest friends, and he has the tendency to get overconfident in his own abilities, as evidenced by his not studying and not asking for help as often as necessary.
Designated Number: Male student No. 009
Designated Weapon: Plank of wood with a nail in it (2 feet long)
Conclusion: Actually, I think B009 will prove surprisingly resilient if he can avoid pulling anything stupid. He knows to keep himself safe, and that's the first rule of surviving. His pull may hold him back, and I don't think he'll be able to carry the game, but he's certainly got more potential than some of these other kids. - Christina Stockton

Dr. McCurdy discusses how the absence of a single message doesn't mean that activists are confused or without a cause. When there are multiple problems, there are multiple demands–but all can be linked back to the state of global capitalism.

I hope you have checked out the intro to "Technical Analysis". Technical catalyst are breakouts and breakdowns. Yes it is that simple. The stronger the broken support (breakdown) or the broken resistance (breakout) is the stronger the catalyst can be valid. To determine the strength of according level you simple ask yourself two questions: "How often did the daily candlestick chart "touch" that considered price level?" AND How well does the touched price level correlate with the biggest volume spikes in that time frame? Thats it. Yes it sounds unbelievable simple, the reason is, it just is that simple. But keep in mind, the further you go back in time the less important the level is, as it is not so "fresh" in other traders minds! Usually a one year daily chart is sufficient.
Remember the higher the volume and the more often a level was touched, the more significant it is to many people!
The number of shares outstanding is the total number of shares a company owns. Some of them might be restricted and bound to special people or institutions, and are therefore not available for public. The number of shares available for us traders is called the "float", those are the shares that are floating around in the stock market. The next point is not 100% thing but you should have this in the back of your head. The higher the float, the quicker the price can move. It is a simple matter of demand and supply. Ask yourself, how much would you willing to pay for the something that is rare, in contrast to somethings you find in abundance? Be careful shorting low floaters as it can turn on you much quicker than you think!
The lower the float, the greater is the spikeability potential!
There are only few really meaningful news, you can count for penny stocks. The first are "EARNINGS", which are published 4 times a year, so each quarter, and is known as earning season. You do not try to guess earnings, you do not hold through earnings, or do any anticipation. You just wait for the reaction. If a stock is moving, because of earnings, regardless how good or bead they are, as you never know what is priced in and what not, you have a positive buying opportunity.
The second one are contract winners. So if you see a moving stock, that has a huge deal with a industry leader, military contract, public institutional contract etc... you also have a good chance of buying it. An acquisition is NOT a contract winner!
Offerings can be seen as a general bearish sign. An offering is an increasing of shares, to so the company has more money. If a company cannot generate revenue with their product, and the only way to get money is by issuing more shares, something is fundamentally wrong with it. Therefore you have a short opportunity. PLEASE, always check their cashflows and revenues, if the company truly needs money, some companies just wanna expand.
Just a few words to hot sector news. There several sectors that get "hot" over the year e.g. biotechnology, oil, gold, marijuana etc. During this short phases, any related company with some positive news, has the potential to spike, as there are so many people they think that they will get rich with one single stock. You do not! It just takes dedication, work and around 1500-2000 trades and you can make a million or more.
So everything else I consider as general fluff. Sometimes are billionaire investments or other short lived catalyst, but I cant count on things that work less then 30% of the time. If there is not a news related to the above mentioned categories, I only play the chart and the technical side. I see the best edge there. The following are a few promoter groups.
Promotion happens all the time. Why? Simple, crappy companies, with no money, no real product line, barely any customers still need money. The only product they are left with are their shares outstanding. Some companies hire, special stock promoters that are paid to promote the stock. And that leads to short runners, where you can make a ton of money! (picture by Timothy Sykes). The following list of promoter groups was created by Tim Grittani, and is still just an overview. If a stock is promoted and you has enough volume you can use them to generate money!

She stood on him and kicked his head and crushed his body repeatedly. He was in so much pain than he had ever been in his life.
This guy had a hangover and wanted help recovering from it. Mistresses Joss and Sonny were on hand to help him. They did not give him something to drink like he expected. They instead used a little pain, which he did not expect. They crushed him and trampled him painfully and as he felt the pain, his hangover started to disappear till finally all of it was gone. Problem solved.
Mistress BlackDiamoond and her friend Lady Chanel were looking amazing. This guy tried to catcall them and they were pissed off. They dragged his ass to their nearby house and they punished him for it. They had to make sure he stopped and mended his ways and stopped catcalling women. So they crushed him and trampled him till he begged them to stop and promised to stop cat calling women before they let him go.
Lady Karame does not like messing around. She was punishing this slave for trying to bullshit on her. She wanted him to know she was not her playmate and that she does not entertain nonsense. She crushed his balls cruelly and painfully using her high heel boots. The slave regretted ever trying to joke with her as she enjoyed punishing and trampling him painfully without a care in the world.
Mistress Ludy found out that her money had been stolen. She asked her slave but he flatly denied. She wanted to be lenient on him if he confessed but he did not. Unknown to him, she had a CCTV camera in the house and she knew he is the one who had taken her money. She showed it to him and as he began to ask for forgiveness, she did not hear him. She punished him brutally by torturing him using her high heels. She crushed his head, his balls, jumped on him and stomped him painfully.

FDA to ban trans fats within three years
SILVER SPRING, Md. — The FDA announced on Tuesday that it determined that partially hydrogenated oils, the primary dietary source of artificial trans fat in processed foods, are not generally recognized as safe for use in human food, according to a statement. The FDA is mandating that food manufacturers remove PHOs from products within the next three years.
"The FDA's action on this major source of artificial trans fat demonstrates the agency's commitment to the heart health of all Americans," FDA's Acting Commissioner Stephen Ostroff, M.D, said. "This action is expected to reduce coronary heart disease and prevent thousands of fatal heart attacks every year."
The announcement comes after a 2013 conclusion that PHOs could no longer be considered GRAS.
Although consumption of trans fat has decreased by 78% between 2003 and 2012 — progress that the FDA attributes to the labeling rule for trans fat and industry reformulation of foods — the FDA still considers current consumption a public health concern.
The FDA currently allows foods lowed to be labeled as having 0 g of trans fat if they contain less than 0.5 g of trans fat per serving. These servings include PHOs, which contain artificial trans fat in processed foods.
"Studies show that diet and nutrition play a key role in preventing chronic health problems, such as cardiovascular disease and today's action goes hand in hand with other FDA initiatives to improve the health of Americans, including updating the nutrition facts label," Susan Mayne, Ph.D., director of the FDA's Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition, said. "This determination is based on extensive research into the effects of PHOs, as well as input from all stakeholders received during the public comment period."
The FDA-issued, three-year compliance period will allow companies to reformulate products and/or petition the FDA to use PHOs in products, according to the statement. After the three-year period, PHOs can only be added to human food with the permission of the FDA.
The FDA predicts that many companies will remove PHOs before the three-year deadline.

It's a good question and one that needs answering. As car lovers, it's hard to see why manual cars are not extinct.
Sure, they are supposed to be more fun to drive, but the industry put that myth bed years ago. What the world does know is that they're harder to drive, don't keep their retail value, and cost more to run than most of their automatic cousins.
With this information, it isn't easy to see why automatics aren't more popular. But, when you look at the following, the picture becomes clearer.
The first ever car powered by an internal combustion engine was made in 1807 by a Frenchman named François Isaac de Rivaz. The first automatic, by comparison, wasn't completed until the 1930s, and that was still a semi-auto.
Plus, the bugs in the automatic transmission weren't smoothed out until the 1960s, giving manual cars a huge head start.
While the automatics were still being developed, the manual cars were flooding the market. To this day, the fact that the manual car was the first ever car plays a part in the minds of the consumer. They see it as the right way to drive as opposed to the impostor.
One of the earliest and most important versions of an automatic transmission was the Hydra-Matic. Developed in the 30s, the option finally came to market in the 1940s when Cadillac and Oldsmobile offered it on their cars.
But, it took years to get the transition as smooth as the manual, and the reputation of automatics took a hit.
Today, people still view automatics with suspicion because they see them unreliable, or not as trustworthy as manuals. Whether right or wrong, mud sticks, even if it is mud from decades ago.
Outside of the USA, the conventional car is a manual because the technology didn't exist when manufacturers started to make cars.
Over the years, the status quo hasn't changed even as the technology has because people are used to driving manuals.
Human beings are creatures of habit, and most people don't like the idea of change even if it could be good. Change is scary because it means venturing into the unknown. An automatic doesn't seem like a scary change, but it is to the drivers that have never driven one before.
The rest of the world uses manuals, and that means manuals are easier to source than automatics.
Anyone that lives in the UK, for instance, doesn't need to drive an automatic because it makes life harder. Although automatic driving lessons are available and driving an automatic is easier, it means they can't drive a manual.
The logic of some people is if manuals are the most popular cars in the world, it makes sense to drive one.
There is no doubt manuals are great cars that are easy to drive. However, manuals still hold the edge due to a combination of stigma and a fear of change.

HA NOI — The majority of Vietnamese people prefer a market economy to an alternative economic system, according a survey released yesterday in Ha Noi.
The poll was conducted from August to October last year by the Viet Nam Chamber of Commerce and Industry and the World Bank.
The changing attitudes to the market and the State survey received responses from more than 1,000 respondents with 39 per cent coming from the State sector and 41 per cent from the corporate sector, poll organisers said.
Only 7 per cent of respondents preferred a State-led economy, while 6 per cent regarded the economic model as unimportant, the survey found.
"However, there is some confusion about whether Viet Nam has really become a market economy or still remains a State-led economy," said Dau Anh Tuan, from the survey's research team.
He said only 25 per cent of respondents agreed that Viet Nam was a full market economy, while 22 per cent thought Viet Nam remained basically a State-led economy.
"Viet Nam needs more time to convince more people fully that we are now a market economy," Tuan said.
The survey also found that a significant number of people were dissatisfied with the speed of economic transition over the last five years. It found that 28 per cent viewed the reform process as slow or extremely slow, while 26 thought the process neither fast nor slow.
Viet Nam joined the WTO six years ago and it has signed up to a number of multilateral economic agreements. Under these accords, the country was requested and expected to reform aggressively and quickly towards a more market-oriented economy.
However, since its joining, the world was plunged into an economic crisis, which saw food and energy prices soar. Viet Nam fell into recession as a result, the survey found.
Surprisingly, the survey found that 68 per cent of respondents thought the State should intervene in the market to stabilise the price of essential goods, such as electricity, petroleum, the exchange rate, the gold price and the cost of land, while just 28 per cent thought the market should determine prices.
Senior economist Pham Chi Lan attributed the surprising finding to the monopoly and dominance of State-owned enterprises when it came to essential goods and services.
Lan said that although State intervention to stabilise prices sounded attractive, in the long term it would be counterproductive.
The survey also found that more than half of respondents felt existing price-stabilisation programmes, implemented in a number of provinces, had been ineffective, while just 36 per cent thought they had been worthwhile.
Price-stabilisation schemes employed by the Government over the last few years have involved providing interest-free or low-interest loans to companies so that they can offer essential items at lower-than-market prices.
Lan is not convinced that State intervention is the best policy.
"Is State intervention an effective and sustainable solution to price volatility? The jury is out on this one," Lan said. — VNS

Wedding Wednesday: Hayley Paige Event & Runway Show
Last week, I was lucky enough to attend a Hayley Paige fashion show at the gorgeous JLM Bridal Boutique. As a fashion designer turned wedding planner, this event was a major bucket-list checker for me! I had total heart-eyes going on all night.
Upon arrival, I was greeted with a delicious cocktail. I chose the Paloma, which is a tequila drink similar to a margarita, but made with grapefruit. I also made a bee-line to the luscious dessert display, courtesy of the Butter End. I especially enjoyed the vanilla sugar cookies, and run cupcakes. Plus, check out that amazing lace cake. Gorgeous.
After mingling a bit and viewing some JLM-exclusive Hayley Paige designs (that pink sequined ball gown makes me want to tie travel back to my wedding just to wear that!), we all took our seats for the show. What a treat it was! I love Hayley's modern and youthful approach to bridal design. No stuffy, boring dresses her! Just pure, joyful, whimsical beauty.
Thanks to Yoleine for coordinating the event, and to the other vendors for making the night so pretty, delicious, and enjoyable!

Are you a traveling quilter? Do you often go to quilt shows, quilt groups, or just like to take your small projects with you to a friends house? Although I love doing crafting/quilting/sewing with a group of friends, if you're anything like me, I carry way too many quilting tools–it looks like I'm almost moving in! The long rulers for cutting full-length fabrics and the cutting mat are of course necessary, but large to carry.

|How To Live With Cats
Are you thinking about giving a cat as a Christmas gift? Christmas cats don't necessarily have to arrive right on Christmas, and putting off the new family member's arrival until after the holidays might be best for everyone, including the cat.
Cats are creatures of habit and prize their daily routine above almost all else. But establishing a daily routine during the busy holiday season is almost impossible, and that will make going to a new home even more stressful for the cat.
Before you make the final decision to give a cat as a gift, make sure everyone really wants a cat. And involve everyone in choosing the cat you'll adopt. Different cats appeal to different people, and a new family member should never be a surprise. One of the joys of living with a cat is that first meeting, when you decide you really do love each other. Give the entire family the joy of sharing that experience.
See You Real Soon
You've chosen the perfect cat, and she'll be coming home the first week in January. But even though she won't be there for Christmas this year, she can still be part of the celebration. Try some creative gift-giving to remind the family that she's coming. A few suggestions:
Kittens need to grow up with other kittens to be well adjusted and well socialized. And just one kitten who only wants to play nonstop can be annoying and destructive. Sadly, many kittens are returned to shelters because they're "too playful." Some other things to keep in mind: Kittens can be annoying and even frightening to older cats. They can also be frightening to very young children because they tend to bite and scratch. And young children can injure a tiny kitten by hugging too hard.
If you want a kitten, adopt two! And if you already have an adult cat or young children, a cat who's all grown up will be a much better choice for your family.

Thanks, Doc
Ruben Amaro Jr. Is Slowly Killing Phillies Fans
Between the Marlon Byrd signing and the rumors that are flying around about the Phills entertaining offers for Dom Brown, I'm slowly losing my mind—it's like the summer of the Flyers' dismantling all over again. I just can't watch anymore. I'm fed up with all of these small bandages that Ruben Amaro Jr. is trying to use to cover up the gaping wounds this team is suffering from. And, not surprisingly, I'm not alone.
A website has been created, but "not activated" yet, that threatens to boycott the Phillies. From the static homepage that currently exists:
You should fire Ruben Amaro and David Montgomery and bring in proven baseball winners to run the organization. The country club management of Maitre d' Montgomery must end.
I know you have that big TV contract coming up so you'll probably make money even if the team sucks. But have some pride in the product you put on the field. Stop accepting the excuses and blame shifting of failed management by old boy collegiality.
Remember the courage of Chuck LaMar, who told you the truth and quit in protest. That's the kind of stand up leadership the Phillies need now–someone who won't make excuses, won't compulsively gamble away the organization's future, then double down on failed bets.
For now this site will sit dormant. If positive change is not forthcoming, all Phillies fans will be invited to come and discuss how we can make the difference that's needed to encourage Phillies owners to build a solid organization that will produce consistent winning baseball that fans can enjoy and support every year. You'd make even more money and be seen as community heroes once again.
That's the growing sentiment around the team's fanbase. Not good.
Let's look specifically at the moves that have been made, and are rumored to be coming down, involving the Phillies outfield, which—I really hate to admit—hasn't been the same since that bearded monster left for D.C.
Rube has this infatuation with over-the-hill, big, slow, right-handed (former)power hitters. The Delmon Young project collapsed in miserable fashion last year, so Rube thought signing a guy that played here a decade ago and had a career-best year last year at the age of 35/36. Not only did he sign Marlon Byrd, but he's paying him $8 million a year for the next two years.
I do get the fact that Rube was looking for an upgrade over Darin Ruf, the young and still improving right field, but he hand-picked someone that is well into his decline and isn't really that much of an upgrade. Ruf played half the amount of games that Byrd did a season ago, and look how their stats stack up:
|Darin Ruf
|Marlon Byrd
Double those numbers and you have essentially the same person—except for the age. The only one up there that might seem a little disconcerting is the strikeout total for Ruf, but all that tells me is that he's an aggressive young player, something that he should improve on over time. The other one that ought to stand out is the last line that shows Ruf has a good 9 years on Byrd. This is a team that should be looking to get younger, not older and slower.
Which brings me to my next point about the rumors swirling around—thanks to one Howard Eskin—that the Phillies were in the process of working with the Toronto Blue Jays to swap a few power outfielders, Dom Brown for Jose Bautista. Please, God, no, no, no, no, No, NO, NO!
Those rumors have since been shut down by less loopieheaded medials, but no one is denying the idea that the Phillies are fielding trade offers for Brown. Let me reiterate the fact that this is a team that SHOULD be looking to get younger. Instead, they have a GM who's flying by the seat of his pants, making ridiculous moves, essentially tearing apart any semblance of the core of this team in order to save his job. At this rate, the Phils won't be starting a single person under the age of 33, with the exception of Roger Bernadina (29) and maybe Cody Asche (23) if he makes the opening day roster. (I'm not counting the 29-year-old Hamels, either.) Think about that.
And if the Bautista thing were to actually happen, the Phillies would essentially be getting a player who has ssllliiigghhtly better numbers than Brown, but who's 7 years his elder and more injury prone. I get that Rube is trying to balance the lineup with righties and lefties, but how about dumping a guy like John Mayberry Jr. instead? Dom is the guy we've been waiting, praying, begging, to finally show up for the last three years, and now that he does, you want to get rid of him? Sure, let's sell high on the only guy that makes me believe there's some light at the end of this aging tunnel.
At some point in the next two, maybe three years, this roster is going to experience a significant amount of turnover. I'd like to have at least one All-Star caliber player around that makes watching baseball enjoyable. So please, for the love of God, Rube, stop destroying this team, and start putting a little more faith in the nonexistent stat guy that you hired—who, by the way, I'm absolutely positive is wondering what exactly the hell he got himself into by agreeing to serve in a consultancy-type position, with no real title, and who I bet you haven't listened to at all, because there's no way in hell any stat/sabermetrics nerd would ever be able to justify the moves you're making.
Go to hell, Rube.

Between the Eagles, who came out of the gate looking great, completely falling off track, the Phillies just being the Phillies, the Flyers being plain embarrassing, and the Sixers not understanding the concept of tanking (though, from the looks of it, the future really is bright and I'm excited about that), there's absolutely nothing to be proud of right now. And it sucks.
Case in point: Last night, the only thing that got people excited at the Wells Fargo Center during the Caps-Flyers game was this line brawl a few minutes into the third period, at which point the Orange and Black were trailing 7-0.
Embarrassing. The radio call is just as pathetic.
Is it nice to finally see some passion and emotion coming from the Flyers? Sure, but it's sickening to watch a team so stuck in the past that they think winning a large-scale brawl is just as important, if not more so, than winning the actual game. And the way Ray Emry absolutely lit up Braden Holtby—don't get me wrong, any goalie fight is a fight for the ages, but that was more of a mugging than anything else. Congratulations, jackass. You beat the shit out of a guy that wasn't even looking to fight. And the fact that he was named third star of the game—clearly for the fight, because four goals on 15 shots is far from noteworthy—ought to be considered a giant slap in each fan's face from big daddy Ed Snyder.
Broad Street Bullies, baby.
5 Years Ago Today…

These 19th Century Baseball Photos Are Incredible
While we're in the midst of what looks like it's going to be another classic Fall Classic, there's no better time to share some incredible photos that I was introduced to thanks to ForTheWin a few days ago.
These images come courtesy of the A.G. Spalding Baseball Collection, available through the New York Public Library system.
Makes you want to go out back and have a catch…

I Found The Most Bitter Nats Fan in the World Last Saturday
This past weekend was the first Labor Day in a few years that Mrs. RLS and I didn't leave home in the Nation's Capital for the holiday. Traveling anywhere on this weekend has become nothing short of a nightmare so why stress ourselves out in traffic for half the weekend when we could just relax at home? Plus we had some family move down recently and there's plenty to do right around here, which included heading to Nats Park on Saturday for a Mets-Nats game.
Now, being a fan of the team in the city sandwiched between these two towns (a team that's long been out of any postseason race), this was probably the last game anyone would expect us to be at, but, hey, it's a holiday weekend, we're fans of baseball, tickets were (as usual) cheap as all hell, and it was Miller Lite Party Nite, so why the hell wouldn't we go?
Good question. But after this game in particular, we may have a reason moving forward.
Going into the game I had a plan for a post that I was going to put together about what a third-party-fan is supposed to wear when they find themselves in a situation like this—which will still be happening—but something else happened during the course of the game that trumped any other piss-poor idea that I could've come up with.
In the midst of some lighthearted heckling of the Nats overpaid right fielder (we were in the second row right behind where JaYson Werth is stationed, so it would've been a wasted opportunity to not heckle the man), among other things, we discovered that we were sitting behind one of the most bitter human beings on the face of the planet.
A little background to the story to help set the tone for this encounter: About an hour before game time the four people in our group—Mrs. RLS, myself, my cousin, and my cousin's lady—spent some time at the Bullpen right outside of Nats Park, which is basically a bunch of stacked trailers that surround a stage where live music is played, and where beer is sold for half the price of the same watered-down liquid inside the stadium, thus resulting in a decent amount being consumed prior to joining the rest of the crowd there to see the on-field action. We stayed there right up until the middle of the first inning. By the time we wandered into the stadium and got to our seats, it was now the bottom of the second and the Nats were down 2-0. Werth, Ian Desmond, and Adam LaRoche were set down in order, which brought about the start of one of the longest innings that I've ever experienced in person.
The Mets tacked on six runs in the top of the third, running Dan Haren from the game after just 2 and 2/3's innings. I mean, it got ugly quick. The inning dragged on for a good 20-25 minutes, and that meant we had a good 20-25 minutes of heckling Werth, mocking the lack of useful scoreboards around the stadium (seriously though, from our seats we couldn't see the jumbotron that was being blocked by the seats above us, which would usually just mean that you'd have to look at the thin boards around the second deck of the infield, but at Nats Park ALL of the infield boards are used to display nothing but advertisements—you don't even get so much as the pitch speed or the time from the god-awful things—incredibly poor form there), and (God help us) pretending to be Mets fans. We were not, by any means, the only people partaking in said heckling (a good 40 percent of the 37,000 on hand that night were Metropolitan supporters), but being fans of the Philadelphia variety, as expected, we stood out above the rest with our witty humor, intelligent quips, and boisterous, well-tuned vocal chords. A good time was being had by all. Or so we thought…
At some point between realizing his team was down 9-0, not knowing what time it was or the pitch count or how many outs there were, and coming to grips with the fact that he's a "die-hard" fan of a team that has won absolutely nothing since abandoning Montreal and moving to Washington except for one measly NL East title, this guy…
…decided it'd be a good idea to try talk back to two of the best talk-backers in the game.
Of the things he said that he thought were excellent zingers (P.S. these are direct quotes recorded by this resourceful blogger):
In response to Werth being overpaid: "Sure the first two years were rough, but he's playing lights out right now! So, no, he's not being overpaid."
And where's that getting you? So you're paying him $16 mil this year to have one of his better years in recent memory for a team that isn't going anywhere. He picked the perfect time to be playing "lights out." But I guess once every three years will make that $125 million worth it?
"Oh, are you guys from Philly? Where's your team in the standings right now?"
(Sidenote: Prior to this moment, we never actually identified ourselves as Philly fans. We made a point to not wear anything Philly. This kid just had the nose, I guess, to sniff us out. Or maybe we just barked at Werth ten too many times…) Incredibly far back, my friend, but I accepted that fact months ago. Meanwhile, you're sitting here decked out in Kid D-Bag's jersey (Bryce Harper), holding on to a nonexistent thread of hope dat dem Nats are gonna go on some crazy run to make the playoffs. Trust me, missing by just that much makes it hurt so much worse in the end.
"You're team's not even playing so why are you even here?"
Because I like baseball.
"Well, thanks for showing up and helping pay some of that $16 million, idiots."
Didn't/still doesn't deserve a response, but we shot back with a "Well so are you." Childish, yes, but his response opened up a whole 'nother can of #Natitude.
"Actually no. Didn't pay a dime for these seats. Free seats, baby."
We skipped over this, but retroactively a phenomenal response here (but again, extremely childish) would have been: First, I ain't your baby… Second, so mommy got those for ya, did she? Instead we went with, "Well, sorry that your free seats were right in front of us. Next time you should pick better." … Hindsight…
"How about you guys just stop talking. All your complaining is ruining my experience. Just shut up and watch the game."
Our apologies. We didn't realize that, out of the 40,000 people here engaging in anything from light talking to extreme, eardrum-busting non-human noises, it's our talking that bothers you. You just turn right back around there and we'll make sure that the next time we want to engage in some harmless heckling that we check with you to make sure that it won't ruin your experience. Seriously, though, you sure it isn't the 9-0 score that's got the bug up your ass or that your team is, yet again, choking under incredibly lofty expectations? Just saying. (Meanwhile, the Mets tacked on another 2 runs, and the most incredibly ridiculous elder-aged female Mets fan I've ever seen went absolutely nuts when they scored those runs, and if anyone deserved to be told to shut their trap, it was that lady. She was certainly ruining my experience.)
There were a few more jabs thrown in about how far back we were, countered by how many World Series titles their franchise has (big fat glazed doughnut there—which, by the way Steelers fans, felt incredibly awesome to be able to throw in someones face…), or even how many pennants (another zero there as well). Don't get me wrong, I've experienced some terrible heckling in my time, and what we were doing was far, FAR from anything that was of that caliber. This kid, obviously, just had some mommy issues or is a few decades behind developmentally.
I'm surprised, honestly, that I haven't come across more Nats fans like this in my time, just given the class of people that I've experienced on the roads and in the city since moving here. Maybe the total assholes really are few and far between. Let's not have this be the start of a trend, D.C., otherwise we're going to have some serious issues.
Were we in the wrong here? I'd love to get a conversation going on this.

Responding to Some Serious NATITUDE!
I contemplated whether or not to do this, but given the fact that there's not much else to fight for over the course of the final 30-some-odd games of this MLB season, I figured, why not?
Just about five months ago, prior to the start of the season, when there was still hope that the Philadelphia Phillies would contend in the NL East and possibly even in the National League (joke was on all of us apparently), I wrote this little dandy about what a Werth-less leader JaYson Werth has been in Washington. It was in response to a Washington Post article in which Nats' beat writer Adam Kilgore gave massive amounts of fellatio to the bearded bum. Here's the specific quote I pulled that was at the center of my anger at the time: Continue reading

Life Story / Obituary
With a life that spanned times of war and times of peace, times plenty and times of want, Dorothy Kuras lived a life of purpose spent with the ones she treasured. She was a lifelong resident of the community she loved, and she spread her warmth to all who were near. A loving and devoted wife, Dorothy cherished her family and loved doing what she could for her family and friends. Life was not always easy for her, but she faced whatever came her way with a quiet strength and a graceful courage that were such an inspiration to others. Deeply loved, Dorothy will be forever missed.
Nearly a century has passed since our nation was deeply entrenched in WWI and faced the trials of unsafe working conditions, a middle class that was growing increasingly weary as the days passed, and the unprecedented flu pandemic that claimed the lives of 202 people each day during its peak. Amidst these trials there was a time of great celebration in the lives of Charles and Helen (Holton) Kinnane as they welcomed the healthy baby girl they named Dorothy on April 19, 1919, in Kalamazoo, Michigan. She was one of seven children in her family as she was raised alongside her sisters, Mary Helen, Eleanor, and Irene, and her brothers, Thomas, Louis, and Robert.
In many ways, Dorothy was a typical young girl of her generation. Her parents were hardworking farmers who had a huge farm outside of town, which instilled within Dorothy a strong work ethic that would be her constant companion. She attended local schools and graduated from high school in 1937.
New and exciting changes were in store for Dorothy when she met the man who would forever hold the key to her heart. His name was Stanley Kuras, and it wasn't long after meeting that they found themselves deeply in love. With a desire to establish a life together, Dorothy and Stan were married on June 26, 1940. She and her husband were true companions, and although they never had any children of their own Dorothy deeply loved her nieces and nephews. She and her nephew, Steve, were very close and shared a special relationship. In 1988 Dorothy was deeply saddened with the death of her beloved Stanley. Although it was a difficult time for her, she drew strength from both her faith and the love of her family. Dorothy's special nephew Steve and his wife, Chris, helped care for her after Stan's death.
Always one who was willing to work hard, Dorothy built a successful career at Gibson, Inc. During her 40 year career there, she moved up the ranks to eventually becoming the head of the payroll department. Dorothy was genuinely liked there, and the people there became like a second family to her. She enjoyed getting to know so many people and especially liked handing out the paychecks to the employees. It truly broke Dorothy's heart when the company moved out of state.
Throughout the majority of her adult years, Dorothy lived in the same house on Ida Street. She and Stan purchased it when they got married. Their house was located in a strong Kalamazoo neighborhood and was anchored by the St. Mary's Catholic Church and school. Dorothy was a longtime member of St. Mary's Catholic Church as well. Over the years, her faith was a cornerstone in her life. After experiencing a fall later in life, Dorothy moved out of her house and lived with her sister-in-law, Etta Kuras, for a few years. From there she moved to the Upjohn Nursing Home where she spent the last three years of her life. Although she deeply missed her church family during this time, she remained faithful in her giving.
Even in her time away from work, Dorothy was one to keep busy as she was a woman of many interests. She loved traveling, especially to Germany several times. While there Dorothy always brought home some Hummels, and she had quite an extensive collection of them. Later in life she took several bus trips with other seniors all around the United States. Closer to home Dorothy enjoyed going to the Barn Theatre in Augusta and was an avid reader who also regularly watched the news.
Dorothy Kuras was a kindhearted, generous, and thoughtful woman who was a blessing in the lives of all who were near. She was greatly successful and always well dressed, but what made her truly beautiful was the love she had for the Lord she served. Dorothy worked hard, but she made the time to enjoy life along the way, and she never let life get the best of her. Although she will be deeply missed, she leaves behind a priceless collection of memories that her loved ones will forever cherish.
Dorothy Kuras, of Kalamazoo, died on Saturday, April 2, 2016. Dorothy is survived by several nieces and nephews. Dorothy was preceded in death by three sisters: Mary Helen Kinnane, Eleanor Papierz, and Irene Owel and three brothers: Thomas, Louis, and Robert Kinnane. Visit with Dorothy's family and friends on Wednesday from 4-6 p.m. at the Life Story Funeral Home, Betzler, 6080 Stadium Drive, Kalamazoo (375-2900). A Mass of Christian Burial will be held at 10 a.m. on Thursday at St. Mary's Catholic Church, 939 Charlotte Ave. Please visit Dorothy's personal memory page at www.lifestorynet.com where you can archive a favorite memory or photo and sign her guestbook. Donations may be made to St Mary's Church or Loaves and Fishes.

Wig? Check.
Sunglasses? Check.
Hot new chick to make out with at Disneyland Paris? Check. Check. Check!
Cristiano Ronaldo hit up one of the Happiest Places on Earth last week — and strolled around with his rumored new girlfriend, Georgina Rodriguez … in full disguise.
The two were seen kissing, laughing and smiling together and even took in a few rides.
By the way, Rodriguez reportedly works in the fashion industry but she's not a model — despite her insane looks.
Ronaldo's having one helluva 2016 when it comes to women — he was reportedly tied to former Miss Spain Desire Cordero Ferrer and before that was seen kissing fitness model Casi Davis.
It's good to be Ronaldo … even when you're undercover.

South Gauteng High Court ruled on the 19th October that 'reasonable chastisement' in the home is not in line with the South African Constitution, meaning parents can no longer use this as a legal special defence if accused of violently disciplining their children.
Hitting children was already categorised as illegal assault in South Africa, but the reform closes a loophole that previously allowed abusive parents to avoid prosecution. This new legislation is vital in South Africa, where rates of violence against children are some of the highest in the world. A 2016 Optimus Study report recorded 34.8% of South African young people experiencing physical abuse, figures "considerably higher than the global average".
This reform follows consistent advocacy for change from children's rights organisations. In 2014, the African Committee of Experts on the Rights and Welfare of the Child (ACERWC) recommended "amending the Children's Act to explicitly ban corporal punishment in all settings including the home". In 2016, the United Nations (UN) Committee on the Rights of the Child also urged South Africa to "prohibit all forms of corporal punishment in the home, including 'reasonable chastisement'" and to "implement a national strategy to prevent and eradicate all forms of corporal punishment".
South Gauteng High Court emphasised that the main intention of the reform is not to punitively charge parents with a crime, but to guide them towards alternative methods of disciplining their children. This will act in line with the ACERWC's 2014 recommendation to "promote positive disciplining, to support families through awareness raising, and to train those who are working for and with children such as teachers and care givers".
South African organisations the Children's Institute, the Quaker Peace Centre and Sonke Gender Justice have stated their support for this ruling. According to Wessel van den Berg of Sonke Gender Justice, "a large body of research shows that there's a strong association between men's use of violence and their exposure to harsh physical punishment as children. This ruling promises to reduce multiple forms of violence."

Also referred to as Retinol, Vitamin A plays a vital role in your body's abilities to perform such functions as your eyes adjusting to light changes, and assists in keeping your vital mucous membranes, eyes and skin hydrated.
It helps with keeping your hair and nails healthy, and aids in cell division and cell differentiation in fetuses. The benefits of Vitamin A have been tied to a decreased risk of breast, lung and skin cancer, and helps your lungs remove toxic impurities.
Vitamin A has been shown to promote bone and tooth development in fetal development. As part of your daily health plan, the benefits of Vitamin A are not to be overlooked.
Being mostly animal-derived, Vitamin A can be obtained by some plant foods, which give your body beta-carotene. Beta-carotene is a naturally occurring substance in some plants that your body then turns into Vitamin A.
The antioxidant qualities of beta-carotene and other benefits of Vitamin A have been shown to neutralize harmful "free radicals" in your system that can lead to tissue damage at a cellular level.
Further benefits of Vitamin A are its possible protector-role against certain epithelial cancers, studies ongoing in various major clinics.
Vitamin A deficiency can manifest itself in various ways, including skin rashes, loss of night vision, dry and scaling skin, and respiratory infections.
Foods high in Vitamin A include dark, green, leafy vegetables and yellow vegetables. Yellow fruits and egg yolks, liver and fish liver oils are also foods high in Vitamin A, and getting enough dietary fat with your intake is essential to proper absorption.
Other foods high in Vitamin A include cheddar cheese and fortified milk. Foods high in Beta-Carotene (which converts to Vitamin A in the system) are sweet potatoes, carrots, pumpkins, cantaloupes, apricots and dark, leafy greens.
There are too many benefits of vitamin A to risk a deficiency in this useful vitamin.
Vitamin A tablets or a high quality multi-vitamin can be used to supplement your levels so that you reap the full benefits of Vitamin A.
Vitamin A tablets should be considered if you don't think you're getting enough Vitamin A in your diet, or if your doctor recommends them.
The benefits of vitamin A are so powerful that a supplement is a good idea if you don't get enough naturally.
There are risks with Vitamin A, as with anything you take into your body. Too much Vitamin A can result in something called "toxicity," a serious conditioning showing itself as nausea, vomiting, chronic skin changes or changes to the hair and nails, and in fetuses, birth defects.
Adjusting the levels of your Vitamin A intake almost always alleviate the symptoms, but should be monitored by a health care professional. Overall, however, the benefits of vitamin A outweigh the side effects.
As part of an overall health regimen, the benefits of Vitamin A are not to be overlooked. Keeping a healthy serving of the foods mentioned above on your plate (or supplementing your diet with a multi-vitamin), along with an alert eye to signs of deficiency or toxicity, can keep you on the road to good health and longevity.
One of the best multi-vitamin supplements that I personally use is called Total Balance by Xtend-Life. It contains not only vitamin A, but also all the other vitamins, minerals, trace elements, enzymes and other specialty ingredients that the body needs.
