Tulane SLS Hosts the National Baseball Arbitration Competition
The Tulane Sports Law Society is excited to once again host the National Baseball Arbitration Competition (NBAC)! The NBAC is a simulated salary arbitration competition modeled on the procedures used by Major League Baseball (MLB). The competition allows law students from over 40 schools worldwide to sharpen their oral and written advocacy skills within the specialized context of Major League Baseball's arbitration proceedings.
Additionally, the competition allows students to interact with some of baseball's leading executives, agents, writers, team counsel, and arbitration experts as these individuals serve as the judges for the competition. This year's list of judges includes Robert Manfred (MLB Executive Vice President of Economic and League Affairs), Nona Lee (Senior Vice President and General Counsel of the Arizona Diamondbacks), Bryan Minniti (Assistant General Manager of the Washington Nationals), and Jerry Crasnick (Writer for ESPN.com and Baseball America).
At the conclusion of the competition, the Tulane Sports Law Society hosts a symposium featuring a panel of experts to discuss legal issues facing baseball. This year's competition will take place on Tulane's uptown campus January 24-25, 2013. The Symposium is open to the public and will take place at McAlister Auditorium on January 25 at 4:30pm. For more information, visit the NBAC website.

June 19, 1978. Apparently I hit the J.C. Penney men's department immediately before my trip to Spain. At any rate, here I am color-coordinated and looking inexplicably serious with my Nizo Super-8 movie camera at the parador Jarandilla de la Vera, Spain. My friend, who took this Koadachrome slide, and I paid ₧3676 for our one-night double, or about $48 then. Today, the same accommodations seem to be €166, or about $239. History does not record what Emperor Charles V paid when he stayed here in the 16th Century, nor what he watched on TV. No doubt he was better-dressed. Now that I think about it, my expression may be the result of jet-lag; this was the day after we arrived. My friend and I tried to avoid it by gradually adjusting our sleep schedule to Europe time for a week or so before departure, staying up later and later each night watching old movies on TV and playing card and board games. It didn't really work. We did document it in a series of rather amusing photos, though.

YORK, PA – The York College men's basketball team used a dominating second half performance to record an 82-68 Capital Athletic Conference win over Marymount University on Saturday afternoon in York. The Spartans, winners of two straight, improve to 5-2 overall and 2-0 in the league while the Saints, losers of five straight, fall to 2-5 overall and 0-2 in the conference.
The Spartans struggled to shoot the ball in the opening 20 minutes of the half. They began the contest shooting 3-for-13 from the floor but somehow had managed to tie the Saints at eight on an Andrew Pawlyk three-point play. The Spartans received a huge boost when junior Mitch Kemp entered the game and drained a trio of three pointers in five possessions for York. Kemp's personal nine point run was a huge part of a 10-4 Spartan spurt that turned a two-point deficit into a four-point lead. The Saints battled back and forged a seven point lead thanks to a 12-3 run. That spurt left the Saints with a 30-23 lead and left the Spartans looking like they were on the brink of being handed a second straight home loss.
York showed a significant spark prior to the break and it started with senior Mo Oursler. With fellow senior Paul Kouvaris shooting the second of two free throws, Oursler followed a Kouvaris miss with a tip in and a foul. Oursler then completed the three-point play with a free throw as the Spartan deficit was just three with 2:20 left in the half. Oursler's great hustle play kick started a half-ending 9-2 burst that allowed the Spartans to take a 34-32 lead at the break. York garnered the halftime lead despite shooting just 34.4% from the floor.
The second half started with the Saints regaining the lead and holding an early three point advantage. The Spartans tied the game for the eighth and final time on a pair of Kouvaris' free throws with 15:15 remaining in the game. The Spartans pushed the lead to four before the Saints trimmed it to one on a Reed Scott bucket at the 10:21 mark. After a well taken Spartan time out, York fashioned a game-changing 11-2 spurt that pushed the York lead to 10 at 65-55 with 7:02 left.
The Saints made one last charge at the Spartans, cutting the lead to five twice before a Pawlyk bucket kicked the lead back up to seven (71-64) with 4:38 remaining. Pawlyk's basket started another 11-1 run that put the game away for York. The Spartans pushed the lead to as many as 16 before settling for the 14-point conference win.
York held the Saints to just 36 second half points and 41.4% shooting in the stanza. Conversely, York shot a blistering 57.1% in the second stanza. The Spartans also dominated on the glass in the second 20 minutes as they held a 21-10 margin on the glass.
Pawlyk came off the bench to record a career-high 17 points on an impressive 6-of-8 shooting including a perfect 5-for-5 from the free throw line. Pawlyk added five rebounds in his 23 minutes of work. Kouvaris added 14 points and five rebounds as he was limited to 22 minutes of action due to foul trouble. He went 3-for-7 from the floor and 8-for-12 from the free throw line. Kemp finished with 12 points coming on four three-point baskets. He also had six rebounds and two assists for York. Juniors Julian Watson and Todd Maciejewski each contributed 11 points for the Spartans. Watson was huge for York as he scored all 11 points in the second half while healso had a career-high seven rebounds to go along with four assists and only one turnover in his 34 minutes of action. Maciejewski pulled in six rebounds and also had two assists for York.
The Saints were led by sophomore standout Scott as he poured in 16 points to go along with a game-high 11 rebounds, nine of which came in the first half. Scott was 7-for-14 from the floor while he also had a trio of blocked shots for Marymount. Jesse Konadu contributed 15 points to the Saint attack while Mac Kennedy was the third Saint in double figures with 12 points.
The Spartans finished the contest shooting 45%, a very respectable number considering their first half shooting struggles. The Spartans canned 6-of-12 from distance while they went 22-of-32 (68.8%) from the free throw line. Marymount shot 42.9% from the floor while they struggled from distance, converting just 3-of-13 (23.1%) from beyond the arc. The Saints converted just 17-of-26 from the line in the loss.
York held a 44-31 rebounding edge over the taller Saints. Seventeen of the Spartans' 44 total rebounds came on the offensive side which led to 19 second chance points. The Spartan bench, led by Pawlyk and Kemp, outscored their Marymount counterparts 29-11.
The Spartans return to action on Wednesday night when they host St. Mary's in another big Capital Athletic Conference contest. Tip time at Charles Wolf Gymnasium is set for 8:00 pm.

Kaua'i CC Ranks 16th Among America's Best Community CollegesKauaʻi Community College
Comm Relations & Spec Projects, Chancellor's Office
(LIHUE, Hawaii) Washington Monthly recently ranked Kaua'i Community College among the best community colleges in America in an article by Kevin Carey, director of the Education Policy program at the New America Foundation. http://www.washingtonmonthly.com/magazine/september_october_2013/features/americas_best_community_colleg046448.php. Kaua'i CC ranked 16th in the nation. The rankings are "based entirely on measures of best educational practices and actual student success," stated the article. Significantly, five of the eight measures of the ranking came from the highly respected Community College Survey of Student Engagement (CCSSE).
Of course a "top college" is made so by far more than the results of one survey; nonetheless the high ranking is a credit to Kaua'i CC's ability to serve students. "The ranking highlights some of the great work and accomplishments of our faculty, staff, and students, and Kaua'i CC can be proud for our achievements in best educational practices and student success," says Chancellor Helen Cox.
"The CCSSE information provides a very clear view of how Kaua'i CC students perceive their college experience, and that's a helpful lens for those at the college to use to find out what they are doing well, and a useful way for the community to see how the college is doing," said Cox.
Kaua'i CC excelled in the Support for Learning, Active & Collaborative Learning, Academic Challenge, and Student Effort categories, followed closely by First-year Retention Rate. "We take pride in creating a supportive learning environment that helps students both learn important skill sets and reach their dreams," said Cox.
CCSSEE, according to the article, "tracks the numbers of books and papers students are assigned, the amount of interaction with faculty, the hours spent preparing for class, and the quality of support services. Colleges that connect with their students and challenge them to do good work get particularly high marks. . .This shows that excellence is not an accident—the best community colleges have deeply ingrained cultures of academic achievement." Excellence is indeed, no accident at Kaua'i CC.

UK judge: Anti-fur protest irked Lady Gaga fans
UK judge: Anti-fur protest irked Lady Gaga fans
Jun. 03, 2013
LONDON (AP) — A British judge has limited protests outside a London department store after management complained that Lady Gaga fans were disturbed by anti-fur campaigners during an appearance last year.
High Court Judge Henry Globe said the singer visited Harrods in October to "advertise some perfumery" — her scent branded Lady Gaga Fame.
He said protesters with placards had caused "nuisance, annoyance and harassment" to some people attending the event.
Anti-fur groups have picketed the famous store for several years. The judge ruled that the protests could not take place in a pedestrianized area in front of the store, which had become a "tourist hotspot."
He said Monday that protesters can continue to assemble outside of that area.

Nocturnal, furry and known for their spooky reputation around Halloween, bats are not only the mysterious mammals that haunt the dark; they are also an important part of nature and in need of greater protection. According to the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species™, 20% of bats are threatened.
"Bats are disappearing at an alarming rate, due largely in part to ignorance and a misunderstanding of the benefits they provide," says Paul A. Racey, Co-Chair IUCN SSC Bat Specialist Group. "We need to build capacity for bat conservation and we must educate young people about the value of these animals."
Bats are mammals of the order Chiroptera whose forelimbs form webbed wings, making them the only mammals capable of flying. Bats are also the second largest order of mammals—numbering about 1,250 species. The smallest bat in the world is the Hog-nosed Bat (Craseonycteris thonglongyai) measuring around 30 mm in length. It is probably the smallest species of mammal that exists. The largest bat is the Golden-capped Fruit Bat (Acerodon jubatus), which is around 340 mm long and has a wingspan of 1.5 m.
Crucial to the environment, bats carry out the important ecological services of pollination, seed dispersal and reduction of pest insects. In South East Asia, bats, specifically the Dawn Bat (Eonycteris spelaea), pollinate durian, a high-value fruit, and also pettai, a vegetable used in curries. In Madagascar, endemic fruit bats pollinate some of the six endemic species of baobabs, including Adansonia suarezensis, only a few hundred individuals of which survive around Diego Suarez.
About 70% of bats depend on insects for the main part of their diet, while the remainder are essentially fruit eaters. Bats dietary needs are mutually beneficial to farmers and crop growers. For example, in Texas, Mexican Free Tailed Bats (Tadarida brasiliensis) eat the pests that plague cotton and tobacco crops, reducing the insect population and the number of pesticide applications needed.
Around the world, bats can be found making their home in almost every environment available. Bats will inhabit caves, tree hollows, foliage, and even man-made structures, as they require only two things: a place for foraging and a roost where they can sleep. The main threats to bats are the loss of their roosting and foraging habitats.
Bats have the most sophisticated ultrasonic obstacle avoidance and prey detection system in the animal kingdom—they emit high frequency sounds above the range of human hearing that allow them to localize obstacles and food. Attempts have been made replicate bat echolocation in order to produce aids for visually-impaired humans.
"Bats are among the most underappreciated groups of mammals in the world and major steps are needed to safeguard them," says Simon Stuart, Chair of IUCN's Species Survival Commission. "Protection for bat roosting and foraging habitats, as well as effective response to specific threats, such as wind farms, is imperative."

Lots more happened. The third and, alas, final volume of Best American Fantasy was released and sold 3 or 4 copies. I exhorted people to read Nnedi Okorafor's Who Fears Death, and lo and behold it went on to win the World Fantasy Award. People died and I wrote about them: Howard Zinn, William Tenn, David Markson, José Saramago. We had a Third Bear Carnival. One of the most popular posts in the history of the site is from 2010: "Some Good Fantasy Short Stories Online", popular because it's something people seem to Google frequently (I should update the post to get rid of the dead links, but most of the links are, amazingly, still alive). And toward the end of the year, I reminded us all that Jorge Luis Borges's first appearance in English was in Ellery Queen's Mystery Magazine, translated by Anthony Boucher, a fact that continues to amuse and please me.
What I'd like to reflect on here, though, is a turn the blog took in 2010.

Denver, CO (SportsNetwork.com) - Matt Duchene and Ryan O'Reilly both scored in the shootout as the Colorado Avalanche edged the New Jersey Devils 2-1 at Pepsi Center.
Duchene, celebrating his 23rd birthday, opened the shootout by slipping the puck through the pads of New Jersey goalie Cory Schneider.
Colorado netminder Semyon Varlamov, who robbed Jaromir Jagr on a 2-on-1 rush with a glove save in overtime, was down but managed to make a left toe save on Patrik Elias' backhand bid.
After a scoreless second round, Ryan O'Reilly, the supplier of Colorado's goal in regulation, secured the win with a wrister from the right circle that went in off Schneider's left shoulder.
Varlamov made 33 saves for Colorado, which improved to 7-1-1 in its last nine games. He is 10-0-5 in his last 16 games (15 starts).
"(Varlamov) stands on his head all year and he does it again tonight, makes some huge stops," O'Reilly said.
Schneider stopped 37 shots for the Devils, who are 0-8 in the shootout this season and have lost an NHL-record 12 straight.
New Jersey has still recorded at least a point in six straight games (3-0-3).
After mustering only two shots in the second period, the Devils pushed back in the third. They peppered Varlamov with 18 shots and drew even on Reid Boucher's deflection at the 8:59 mark.
New Jersey worked the puck low to high and Jon Merrill then dished to Andrei Loktionov, whose one-timer from the right circle caught a piece of Boucher standing in front of Varlamov.
"I didn't like anybody in the first two periods other than Schneider," said Devils head coach Peter DeBoer. "I liked everybody in the last 20 minutes."
O'Reilly scored in front after a nice feed by Patrick Bordeleau from behind the net at 8:55 of the first period. It was his 18th goal of the season, tying his career high set in 2011-12.
Game Notes
The Avalanche matched the 2000-01 Stanley Cup-winning club as the fastest to 30 wins in franchise history (47th game) ... The Avalanche were without forward Paul Stastny (leg) for a second straight game ... Elias was activated from injured reserve by the Devils before the game. He had been out since Dec. 31 with what the team called "total body soreness" ... Colorado improved to 12-3-1 against Eastern Conference teams this season.

DAMASCUS, Syria (AP) — Syrian rebels on Sunday released four Filipino U.N. peacekeepers they abducted last week in a dramatic incident that prompted warnings from the Philippines that the nation might pull out its contingent from the Golan Heights.
Meanwhile, a Syrian official said President Bashar Assad's troops have the right to enter the Israeli-occupied Golan whenever they wish — a veiled threat toward Israel to stay out of Syria's conflict.
Also Sunday, Damascus rejected Turkey's allegations that Syria was behind two car bombings that killed 46 people in Turkey and wounded dozens more the day before.
The four Filipinos, seized Tuesday, were apparently unharmed, but they will undergo a medical checkup and stress debriefing, said Brig. Gen. Domingo Tutaan.
A statement by the rebel group holding the peacekeepers — the Yarmouk Martyrs Brigade — said the four were handed over to a U.N. delegation in the border area on Sunday, but provided no other details.
The peacekeepers are part of a U.N. contingent that patrols a buffer zone between Syria and the Golan Heights, a plateau Israel captured from Syria in 1967.
It was the second abduction of Filipino peacekeepers since March, when 21 were held for three days by rebels fighting Assad.
The Philippine foreign secretary has said he would recommend withdrawing Filipinos from the peacekeeping contingent in Syria, but the final decision is up to the country's president.
Nearly 1,000 U.N. peacekeepers patrol the Golan. Other major contributors are India and Austria. Croatia recently withdrew its contingent.
The buffer zone has been largely quiet for four decades, but tensions have risen there since the outbreak of the revolt in Syria more than two years ago.
In Damascus, Information Minister Omran al-Zoubi told a news conference on Sunday that Syria has the right to enter the Golan Heights.
"The Golan is Syrian Arab territory and will remain so, even if the Israeli army is stationed there. We have the right to go in and out of it whenever we want and however we please," he said.
His comments came in response to last week's Israeli airstrikes on Syria, which Israeli officials say targeted advanced Iranian missiles intended for Lebanon's Hezbollah.
The strikes marked a sharp escalation of Israel's involvement in the Syrian civil war and raised fears that a conflict that has repeatedly spilled over Syria's borders could turn into a regional war.
Syria has threatened to retaliate but the official response was relatively mild.
"Israel should understand that the Syrian skies are not a picnic for anyone," al-Zoubi warned.
"We are a people who do not forget to retaliate against those who commit aggression against us, and we do not forget our martyrs or those who killed them," he said.
Israeli officials had no comment.
Assad's regime might be reluctant to open a new front against Israel with his army already stretched thin in the deadlocked fight with the rebels.
But he has a history of operating through proxies, such as the Lebanese militant Hezbollah or radical Syrian-based Palestinian factions that can potentially launch attacks on Israel from the Golan.
The Syrian uprising escalated into a civil war that has claimed tens of thousands of lives and displaced millions of Syrians. The two sides have been largely deadlocked on the battlefield.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a Britain-based group that closely monitors the fighting in Syria, said in a statement Sunday that more than 80,000 people — nearly half of them civilians — have been killed in Syria's conflict since March 2011.
The Syrian government does not release official figures for casualties in the civil war. In February, the U.N. estimated that around 70,000 have died.
In the latest violence in the capital, Damascus, six mortar shells struck a neighborhood, causing damage and casualties, a Syrian official said on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to brief reporters.
The mortars hit the predominantly Alawite district of Mazzeh 86 during the morning rush hour, he said. Sunday is the first day of the work week in Syria.
Alawites are followers of an offshoot of Shiite Islam, and have dominated government for four decades under Assad family rule. Rebels and regime forces have been fighting in parts of Damascus, and rebels have fired mortars at neighborhoods seen as pro-Assad.
The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, an activist group, confirmed that mortars struck Mazzeh 86, but said it had no reports of casualties.
The Observatory also reported that regime forces have secured the international highway linking Damascus with the southern city of Daraa, where the uprising against Assad's regime began.
The report confirms claims made by state media on Saturday and marks a significant reversal of gains made by rebels in the strategic region near the border with Jordan only few weeks earlier.
Zoubi's comments were the first official Syrian comment since Saturday's blasts in the Turkish border town of Reyhanli, near Syria.
The bombings left 46 people dead and marked the biggest incident of violence across the border since the start of Syria's civil war, raising fears that Turkey — once one of Syria's top allies in the region — might be pulled deeper into the conflict.
The Syrian minister alleged that Turkey is responsible "for all that happened in Syria and what happened in Turkey yesterday," accusing Istanbul of facilitating the entry of "terrorists" to Syria.
The Syrian regime routinely describes rebels fighting to topple Assad as terrorists.
Al-Zoubi also launched one of the harshest personal attacks on Turkey's prime minister, demanding that Recep Tayyip Erdogan "step down as a killer and as a butcher."
In Egypt, a senior aide to President Mohammed Morsi said in remarks published Sunday that Egypt is seeking a negotiated solution for the Syrian crisis that would ensure the country's territorial integrity and prevent foreign intervention.
Essam el-Haddad, a presidential assistant on foreign affairs, said Egypt is developing its regional initiative and that representatives of the Damascus regime who have "no blood on their hands" must be approved by the opposition before they can negotiate.
Associated Press writer Sarah El Deeb contributed to this report from Cairo.

The early universe was a rough-and-tumble place. Galaxies smashed together with much more regularity than they do today, and the insides of galaxies were chaotic, clumpy pods of stars. It was no place for an orderly, delicate swirl of a galaxy like the Milky Way or Andromeda.
By scanning hundreds of galaxies that existed just a few billion years after the big bang, however, a group of astronomers has turned up a diamond in the cosmic rough. The researchers found a rare early galaxy with pronounced spiral arms, which they reported in the July 19 Nature. (Scientific American is part of Nature Publishing Group.) And that galaxy's unique circumstances may help explain why spirals are so infrequent at that epoch. The newfound galaxy, known as BX 442, was identified in Hubble images as a spiral that existed three billion years after the big bang. It appears to fit the bill for a variety called a grand-design spiral, in which pronounced spiral arms lend a well-defined shape to the galaxy's disk of stars.
Spirals are common in the modern universe, but as astronomers gaze across the cosmos at objects farther and farther away—and hence further and further back in time—spiral structure starts to peter out. Instead of orderly swirls, astronomers see lumpy, blobby galaxies going through the cosmic equivalent of an awkward phase. But somehow a regular spiral structure was imprinted on BX 442, perhaps by a recent grazing encounter with a much smaller galaxy. "What seems to set it apart, as best as we can tell, is that it has this little companion galaxy off to the side," says lead study author David Law, an astrophysicist at the University of Toronto. If the companion galaxy were the trigger, the spiral arms would "probably fade away within about 100 million years or so," Law says. The transitory nature of a spiral structure at that epoch could explain why spirals are so rare.
BX 442 could have also generated its own spiral structure without a nudge from its neighbor. Clumps of stars and gas within a galaxy can cause spirals to form, and BX 442 appears to contain at least one large clump along one of its spiral arms.
It may be that numerous different mechanisms can shape a spiral galaxy. Many more examples from different cosmic epochs should be accessible for study once next-generation observatories, such as NASA's James Webb Space Telescope, come online.

East Coast earthquake rattles primaries in Virginia
Despite rumbling, voting continues
Voters in several Virginia counties headed to the polls on Tuesday under sunny, late-summer skies. Primary day 2011 seemed to be going along as normal for an August primary until about nine minutes before 2pm when the ground started to shake, rattle and roll.
The East Coast experienced a rare magnitude 5.8 earthquake at 1:51 p.m. on Tuesday. The epicenter of the quake was located in Mineral, Va.
Although some poll workers had to create makeshift voting precincts outside in the shade, voting never stopped throughout the state and polls remained open until their normal closing time of 7p.m.
In Louisa County, where the epicenter of the earthquake was located, Cristy Watkins, registrar of voters, said things went extremely well considering the circumstances.
Watkins said voting was never disrupted and while some voting booths were moved outside out of concern, polling places were able to run on generators or super-long extension cords.
With phone lines overwhelmed in the minutes following the quake, deputy registrars fanned out to the six affected polling places to check on poll workers and voters.
The county elections office was moved to the county's emergency operations command center and the county's IT department provided laptops to the elections officials.
"It was a real sense of community," Watkins said. "Everyone pulled together and everyone in our office kept a real cool attitude."
The Stafford County fire marshal inspected all 27 of the counties polling sites shortly after the quake and deemed them all safe and voting continued even though some of the polling place hosts tried to shut-down operations.
"We said no, we don't do that on election day," Registrar Greg Riddlemoser told The Freelance Star."I'm very, very proud of the response of the precinct workers. Nobody really thinks that you're going to have an earthquake on election day. I'm very pleased with the calm nature and the business mentality" of the poll officials.
Election officials throughout the affected counties seemed to take the historic (for the East Coast) event in stride.
About an hour after the earthquake, City of Falls Church Registrar Dave Bjerke quipped on Facebook, "Falls Church will not be suppressed. Outside the polls voting!"
In Arlington County where voting continued throughout, Registrar Linda Lindberg told a local website that the only people who called to keep the polls open later than the 7 p.m. closing time were the candidates themselves.
It was largely business as usual for Fairfax County, one of the state's largest and most populated counties. A number of polling places were evacuated when the earthquake happened so they could assess if there was structural damage and all facilities that were evacuated set up in the parking lot with the voting machines running on battery power.
According to Edgardo Cortes, registrar, most facilities were cleared within an hour or two although one polling place did suffer structural damage so they remained outside through the close of polls at 7pm. The registrar's office worked with the school to run electricity outside. All 232 polling places remained open for voting until the regular close of polls.
Operations in the county elections office were not affected by the earthquake although Cortes noted that they definitely felt the tremors.
"While our emergency plans contemplate blizzards, hurricanes, and even terrorist attacks, earthquakes weren't really on our list of issues to plan for," Cortes said. "I think our staff and election officers in the field performed incredibly well and ensured that we continued voting the entire day without more than a few minutes of interruption."

text: In the Philippines, an academic thesis is named by the degree, such as bachelor/undergraduate thesis or masteral thesis. However, in Philippine English , the term doctorate is typically replaced with doctoral (as in the case of "doctoral dissertation"), though in official documentation the former is still used. The terms thesis and dissertation are commonly used interchangeably in everyday language yet it generally understood that a thesis refers to bachelor/undergraduate and master academic work while a dissertation is named for doctorate work.

Dave D'Onofrio's Sox Beat: Lineup changes ahead for Sox
Red Sox pitcher Jake Peavy looks on during workouts Friday day before Saturday night's Game 3 of the World Series against the St. Louis Cardinals at Busch Stadium. The series is tied at a agame apiece and the first pitch is at 8:07 p.m. (Jeff Curry-USA TODAY Sports)
-- As the World Series heads for St. Louis with a Fenway Park split having whittled baseball's championship to a best-of-five, there is no time for the Red Sox to waste. No time to wait out a slump. No time to let a guy come around.
No time to leave intact the bottom four spots in the lineup when those players have gone 2-for-27 (.074) in this series and have reached base only three times in 29 trips to the plate, particularly when the shift to a National League ballpark means the ninth hitter in the order will be a pitcher for the next three games.
So tonight,
John Farrell
will change it up, as he should.
Daniel Nava
will play left field for the Sox in Game 3, with
Jonny Gomes
heading to the bench after two hitless tilts, and not coincidentally after a Boston loss, with Thursday's 4-2 defeat being the first in the eight games Gomes has started this postseason.
"He's going to factor in the series going forward," Farrell said of Gomes. "For the outfield size, with the matchup that we like a left handed hitter in Nava a little more, that's why Daniel is in there."
While it was intangibles, consistency, karma, superstition — whatever — that kept Gomes in the lineup, it was a 1-for-17 skid that left Farrell with little choice but to take him out, especially when considering that the alternative finished eighth in the American League in batting this season (.303), with the fifth-best on-base percentage (.385).
He's hitting .308 with a .438 OBP in six postseason games, too, so the stage hasn't been too big for a guy in the midst of his inaugural playoff experience, and that level of production isn't something the Sox can afford to leave on their bench considering how vapid the bottom of the order has been, how the lineup will naturally be shortened without a designated hitter, and how few other options Farrell has.
Fans have clamored for
Stephen Drew
to be benched, and the manager has heard it over the course of Drew's 4-for-42 postseason at the plate, but Farrell has been adamant about the confidence he has in Drew's defense at shortstop. He already made the move to
Xander Bogaerts
instead of
Will Middlebrooks
at the end of the American League Championship Series, so essentially the decision on Drew comes down to this: Are the Red Sox better off with Middlebrooks' bat in the lineup and Bogaerts at short, or with Drew's glove in the lineup and Bogaerts at third?
With Middlebrooks hitting .174 this postseason, Farrell's answer is the latter.
The only other place where he could really make a change is behind the plate, and even then it wouldn't be motivated mainly by offense.
Jarrod Saltalamacchia
is the better hitter, but he is 6-for-29 in these playoffs with 17 strikeouts.
David Ross
, meanwhile, is the better defender.
So if defense is a priority with Drew at shortstop, it would make sense to also prioritize it at an even more premium defensive position, like catcher. And that Ross has hit decently of late is an added bonus.
That all said, the Sox's best weapon as far as dealing with the National League style, and dealing with the slumps down in the order, might be their bench. The NL game involves more substitutions and pinch-hitting, and throughout this season Boston's depth thrived in those roles.
Matching a team-record with seven pinch-hit home runs, Sox reserves tied the Phillies' bench for the most homers in baseball, were second in slugging percentage, and fourth in on-base percentage. Their OPS off the bench was the third-best in the majors (.799) — while the Cardinals' was the third-worst (.519).
In a tight game, that could be an advantage for the Sox, especially with
Mike Napoli
added to the mix as
David Ortiz
takes over first base tonight, and using those bats more aggressively might be a way for the Sox to change the look of their lineup if the time is right. And down to a best-of-five, that could be at any moment now.
"It's been one of our strengths," Gomes said of the bench after Game 2. "They've got a good bench, too, but at the same time they don't have a Napoli or a Papi coming off theirs, so hopefully it'll help us. Myself, (
, Nava have done a good job as a whole pinch-hitting all year, so if it does come down to it. (
could grab the ball, go the distance and get himself four at-bats, you never know, we'll take the challenge and run with it."
- - - - - - -
Peavy pitches for the Sox tonight against the Cardinals'
Joe Kelly
, making his third start of the postseason but his most pressure-packed. Peavy pitched Game 4 in each of the first two rounds and both times the Sox were up two games to one. Now he comes in with the series tied, and knowing that if he loses tonight, his team will need to win three of the last four to be champs.
"There's absolutely no excuses tomorrow night," Peavy said Friday. "This is what I've lived for my whole life is to my whole baseball career, I should say, to have this opportunity to go out there on the biggest stage and have a chance to help your team win a World Series game and a World Series title.
"I'm as prepared as I'll ever be, physically, mentally, and we'll go out there tomorrow night and see if we can execute pitch by pitch, and find a way to win."
- - - - - -
Both managers announced their Game 4 starters on Friday.
Mike Matheny
said it will be Lance Lynn for St. Louis, while Farrell reiterated that it'll be
Clay Buchholz
for Boston.
"He went through a throwing program (Friday)," the manager said. "Went back to about 100 feet with some increased intensity along the way, and he's starting Sunday."

Can't get in the water before your event? Here's your Plan B.
Not all races allow you to get in the water before the start, but you're doing your body (and your swim) a disservice if you skip the warm-up entirely. To be prepared no matter what conditions dictate, add a stretch band to your bag for a simple but effective 10-minute routine.
Attach the center of the stretch cord at chest height (sometimes a strap is included) to a fence, tree or anything sturdy. Hold the handles or tie a knot in each end to prevent slipping. As you do these exercises, keep in mind that this is a light warm-up and it should not be strenuous. If there is too much resistance, move closer to the attachment point to increase your range of motion.

We think the book was interesting because the pictures were beautiful and impressive. We also liked when the car was going fast. It was exciting because the car was going away from the rats because Miss spider and her brother were scared. What we like about Miss Spider is that before she bought a car she was looking at the rest of them. Because she wanted a fast car to get to the tea party fast.
I would recommend this book to Tyler and kids her age which is eight. I liked what was written in the story and because it was funny.

What Are the Risk Factors for Gastrointestinal Carcinoid Tumors?
A risk factor is anything that affects your chance of getting a disease such as cancer. For example, exposure to strong sunlight is a risk factor for skin cancer, while smoking is a risk factor for cancer of the lung and several other cancers.
But risk factors don't tell us everything. Someone without any known risk factors can still develop cancer. And someone can have a risk factor, but still not get the disease. Only a few risk factors for gastrointestinal (GI) carcinoid tumors are known.
Genetic syndromes
Multiple endocrine neoplasia, type I
This is a rare condition caused by inherited defects in the gene MEN1. People with this syndrome have a very high risk of getting tumors of 3 glands: the pituitary, parathyroid, and pancreas. They also have an increased risk of carcinoid tumors. Some studies estimate that inherited mutations of the MEN1 gene are responsible for about 10% of carcinoid tumors. Most of these are gastric (stomach) carcinoids. Children have a 50/50 chance of inheriting this syndrome from an affected parent.
If your family is affected by the MEN1 syndrome, you might want to talk to your doctor about the pros and cons of getting tested for it. Although the gene that causes tumors in people with the MEN1 syndrome has been found, genetic testing for MEN1 is not widely available. Because the results of genetic testing are not always clear cut, it is important that the test is done along with genetic counseling to help you make sense of the results.
Neurofibromatosis type 1
This disease often runs in families and is characterized by many neurofibromas (benign tumors that form in nerves under the skin and in other parts of the body). It is caused by defects in the NF1 gene. Some people with this condition also develop neuroendocrine tumors of the small intestines.
Other genetic syndromes
Neuroendocrine tumors are also more common among people with tuberous sclerosis complex and von Hippel Lindau disease. Tuberous sclerosis complex can be caused by a defect in the TSC1 or TSC2 gene. People with this condition can also develop tumors of the heart, eyes, brain, lungs, and skin. People with von Hippel Lindau disease have an inherited tendency to develop blood vessel tumors of the brain, spinal cord, or retina, as well as kidney cancer. It is caused by changes in the VHL gene.
To find out more on being tested for genetic syndromes, see Genetic Testing: What You Need to Know.
Race and gender
Carcinoid tumors are more common among African Americans than whites. Outcomes are also not as good for African Americans. Researchers do not yet know why. Carcinoid tumors are also slightly more common in women than men.
Other stomach conditions
People with certain diseases that damage the stomach and reduce the amount of acid it makes have a greater risk of developing stomach carcinoid tumors, but their risk for carcinoid tumors of other organs is not affected.
Factors with uncertain or unproven effects
Smoking may increase the risk of getting a carcinoid tumor of the small intestine, according to some research. But further studies are needed to confirm this.
The risk of developing GI carcinoid tumors does not appear to be increased or decreased by any specific foods.

By Venerable Lama Khenchen Palden Sherab Rinpoche.
Sarva dharma svabhava shuddho 'ham
"all phenomena are totally pure
from the beginning"
According to our relative perception, our world is filled with errors, faults, stains and obscurations. We feel quite righteous about this. The faults of others, the imperfections of our environment, sometimes seem to be even more solid than tables and chairs. Our own flaws as well, if we are aware of them at all, sometimes can seem insurmountable or unforgiveable. But these, too, dissolve under close inspection and analysis. We cannot say that impurities exist anywhere, so how can we say we must become free of them? The idea of purity depends on the idea of impurity. Total purity from the beginning transcends such dualistic notions...
Because the absolute nature of reality is unchanging and incorruptible, it cannot be decreased or increased: it is unquantifiable. When we rest in the absolute nature, we are not expanding it in any way; when we begin to wander away from it, we are not shrinking it. The enlightened ones understood that absolute reality doesn't change under any circumstances, whether beings recognize it or not. Even Lord Buddha did not change the absolute nature in any way when he turned the Wheel of Dharma.
In the more elaborated Prajnaparamita teachings, it is often stated that this absolute nature, also known as buddha nature, is the inheritance of each and every sentient being. All of us, regardless of intelligence, character, or species, possess the buddha nature, and it is the buddha nature we seek to discover when we seek enlightenment. I say "discover" because it is not something essentially different from ourselves; we need not fabricate it or construct it on top of something else. When our buddha nature is revealed, we gain access to its many attributes, such as wisdom, compassion and loving-kindness. These qualities are extremely valuable. They guide us in times of delusion, and they radiate out to others in the form of communication, friendship, joy, and happiness. When relaxed and cheerful, sentient beings can actually share and work together.
If this absolute nature cannot be affected by increase or decrease, and all sentient beings possess it already, then why do we need to practice? It is often said that the buddha nature exists only as a potential, or spark, in the ordinary being; its brilliance is obscured by many layers of dualistic concepts, the bad mental habits of infinite lifetimes. Therefore it has always been necessary that we be clearly instructed in the truth of our relative existence. The many methods taught by the Buddha have the power to peel away our obscurations and allow us to see the truth for ourselves. Although these methods are many and varied, they all have as their essence the twofold mind-training of compassion and wisdom. Compassion and loving-kindness in themselves are undisputed as the greatest treasure of all sentient beings; even animals and insects are able to recognize their value. Compassion with the wisdom of emptiness together constitute the essential practices on the path to enlightenment - they are the great ornaments of the bodhisattva.

Ocala-trained Verrazano has only one blemish on his record, but it was a big one.
Ocala-trained Verrazano has only one blemish on his record, but it was a big one.
His 14th-place finish in this year's Kentucky Derby was almost unthinkable. The son of More Than Ready won his first four races, including the Grade 2 Tampa Bay Derby and the Grade 1 Wood Memorial. But the colt never fired at Churchill Downs.
Saturday, he is the favorite in the $1 million Travers Stakes despite facing Kentucky Derby winner Orb and Belmont stakes winner Palace Malice. Both are also Ocala graduates.
Verrazano is at odds of 2-1 for the Travers on the heels of a 9 3/4-length victory in the Grade 1 Haskell Invitational on July 28. Before that, he won the Grade 3 Pegasus Stakes.
Verrazano got his early training at J.J. Pletcher's Payton Training Center in Ocala and is currently trained by J.J.'s son, Todd Pletcher.
The colt starts from the No. 3 post and is ridden by John Velazquez. Palace Malice is the second choice at odds of 5-2 and drew post No. 8 in the nine-horse field and is also trained by Todd Pletcher.
After winning the Belmont, the son of Curlin won the Grade 2 Jim Dandy Stake on July 27 at Saratoga. Jockey Mike Smith gets the ride.
Both Palace Malice and Orb were trained by Niall Brennan at his Ocala farm.
Orb, a son of Malibu Moon, is the 4-1 third choice and leaves the No. 2 post under jockey Joel Rosario. He is trained by Shug McGaughey.
Florida-bred Transparent won the July 26 Curlin Stakes at Saratoga but was disqualified to fifth. The son of Bernardini starts from the outside post and is a 10-1 shot. He was bred by Hardacre Farm and is trained by Kiaran McLaughlin.The Travers is scheduled for 5:46 p.m. and is race No. 12.
In South Florida Saturday, Scandalous Act is the favorite in the $125,000 second leg of the Florida Stallion Stakes series at Calder Race Course.
The daughter of Act of Duty is the morning line favorite at odds of 7-5. The 2-year-old filly won the first leg of the series, the Desert Vixen Stakes, by 7-1/2 lengths, handily beating the favorite Holiday Magic.
Scandalous Act drew the inside post for the 7-furlong race and will have jockey Eduardo Nunez aboard.
Bred in Ocala by Gilbert Campbell, she is trained by Kathleen O'Connell.
In Saturday's Susan's Girl Stakes, the two fillies face one another again, but this time Holiday Magic is the 4-1 third choice. She starts from post No. 5 with jockey Juan Leyva aboard.
The filly is trained by William Kaplan and owned by Pinnacle Racing, H. Jack Hendricks and Roger Justice. A daughter of Congrats, she was bred by NTS Stables.
The Susan's Girl is scheduled for 4:27 p.m. is race No. 8.
One race later, the male division of the stallion stakes takes the track in the $125,000 Affirmed Stakes.
The favorite is another Campbell-bred horse. My Brown Eyed Guy is a son of With Distinction and won the first leg of the stallion stakes, in the Dr. Fager on July 20.
He is the heavy 4-5 favorite in the morning line for the 7-furlong Affirmed and drew the No. 3 post. He is also trained by O'Connell and ridden by Nunez.
Best Plan Yet finished 3 1/4 lengths behind My Brown Eyed Guy in the Dr. Fager and is back again in the Affirmed as the 3-1 second choice.
A son of Ocala's Journeyman Stud stallion Hear No Evil, the colt was bred and is owned by Jacks or Better Farm of Reddick. He is trained by Stanley Gold and starts from the outside post No. 7.
The Affirmed is scheduled for 4:54 p.m. and is race No. 9.

Type: Defect
Status: Closed
Priority: Major
Resolution: Completed
Affects Version/s: Release 1.3, Release 1.4, Release 1.5, Release 1.6
Fix Version/s: Release 1.6
Component/s: None
If there is an error in the `ns` form, an exception is thrown, which is not caught in `load`.
For example, with an invalid :only clause;
(ns clj14.myns (:use [clojure.core :only seq]))
With the latest Clojure master as of Aug 24 2013, this generates the following exception, with no source file or line number except the one shown in clojure.core:
Exception :only/:refer value must be a sequential collection of symbols clojure.core/refer (core.clj:3854)
You can find a source file in your project if you painstakingly search through the stack trace, but it would be nice if it jumped out at you in the exception itself.
Patch: clj-939-v4.diff
Approach: The latest patch does not modify the behavior of any other exceptions thrown by the compiler. The throw-if function is only used in the load-related functions: this patch changes it to throw CompilerException instead of Exception. As a result, exceptions which occur while loading files will be decorated with file names and line/column numbers. The line/column numbers are not always accurate (see notes in attachment screen-clj-939.org) but the file names are correct.
This is an incremental improvement to compile-time error messages, but it does not solve some of the fundamental problems with reporting correct line/column numbers from errors thrown by the compiler.
Screened by: Stuart Sierra (re-screened by Alex for the specific comments by Rich)
Corrected patch
Patch 0001-report-load-exception-with-file-and-line.diff fails build. Patch 0002-report-load-exception-with-file-and-line.diff applies, builds, and tests cleanly as of March 9, 2012. Hugo has signed a CA.
clj-939-report-load-exceptions-with-file-and-line-patch-v2.txt dated Oct 5 2012 is intended to be an update to Hugo Duncan's patch 0002-report-load-exceptions-with-file-and-line.diff dated Feb 25 2012. Because of Brandon Bloom's recently commited patch adding column numbers in addition to line numbers, this is not simply updating some lines of context, but I think it is correct. It would be good if Hugo could take a look at it and confirm.
The error messages are better than what we had before. The line/column numbers are not particularly informative, probably because ns is a macro.
This patch doesn't change the reporting on any other (e.g. nested) exceptions? It looks like it might.
This issue has somewhat strange history. Starting over with Triaged so it can go through release assignment and patch process again.
Patch clj-939-report-load-exceptions-with-file-and-line-patch-v3.txt dated Aug 25 2013 started based upon Hugo Duncan's
clj-939-report-load-exceptions-with-file-and-line-patch-v2.txt patch.
It was enhanced to avoid wrapping a CompilerException within another CompilerException first. That always gave line 1 and column 1 for all load/require/use exceptions, so I modified clojure.core/throw-if to throw a CompilerException instead. The line/column numbers with this approach are now usually those of the beginning of the enclosing ns form, if these operations are caused by an ns form.
I also added a little extra info to one exception message, and a new condition in which an exception is thrown if a require/use operand is neither a libspec nor a prefix list.
Screening in progress.
Screened. Notes in attachment screen-clj-939.org
this (surreptitiously? adds a new test for vector or list. Please submit patches that address one specific issue. There's no reason for this concrete check, but if you think there is make another ticket.
To: Operative Sierra
From: Chaos
Agent Hickey thwarted world domination plans yet again. Recommend plan omicron. InfoSec dept provided clj-939-v4.diff - should enable our insidious changes to slip past his Detect-O-Tron. Good luck, operative. Message ends.
Seems like the (declare list?) can go away too?
Good catch, Alex. More coffee required here. Uploaded new clj-939-v4.diff in place of the previous one.
Verified questioned bits have been removed and patch still applies cleanly and tests pass. Re-marking Screened with new patch.
