Entertainment strategies vary at Indian casinos—some tribes have luxurious resorts with elaborate concert venues, while others cater to the more modest needs of smaller communities. Both types face many of the same challenges in booking, promotion and facility development.
Representatives from across Indian country—including those from the Tulalip Tribes' two casinos in Washington, the Seneca Gaming Corporation's three casinos in New York, and the Winnebago's WinnaVegas in Iowa—spoke with Indian Country Today Media Network about their entertainment strategies.
West Coast: Tulalip Tribes
Entertainment plays a key role in attracting and rewarding gamblers, says Glenn Stolle, entertainment manager for the Tulalip Tribes' Tulalip Resort Casino. The tribe also owns and operates an older and smaller community casino, Quil Ceda Creek Casino.
The Tulalip Resort Casino cabaret seats 480 and the outdoor amphitheater has room for 2,500 people. Quil Ceda Creek can hold up to 1,500 people in its gaming area. Its nightclub has 250 seats for events. "Quil Ceda Creek is more the neighborhood casino—a small, more intimate location. [Tulalip Resort] is more of a resort destination, so what we're doing here [at Tulalip Resort] is bigger," Stolle says.
The cabaret at Tulalip Resort just got a $200,000 renovation of its sound and lighting system that includes a Yamaha 7.1 surround sound stereo system, four high-definition widescreens and a reconstructed stage. Shows are generally free to guests. When booking acts, Stolle looks for performers who will draw players onto the casino floor after the show. Acts range from classic rock to country, with some jazz. He says country acts have become increasingly popular, and he has coordinated promotion with regional country radio stations. A weekly comedy night is another draw.
The casino's target age demographic is 55 and up, though it is experimenting with ways to attract younger guests, including a Battle of the Bands that ran from April until August. Bands from Tacoma, Seattle and local areas competed for a chance to record an album. "We will usually rotate through a dozen and a half different bands and a few [new ones] that we find. I get all kinds of different press packets, and if they sound good, we give people a try," he says. "You're not going to know how good [bands really are]—or how they will be received by the guests—until you bring them in. Especially with a new act, it can be a crapshoot."
East Coast: Seneca Nation
Staying abreast of acts performing at regional competitors is essential to maintain market competitiveness, says Jim Wise, senior vice president of marketing for the Seneca Gaming Corporation. The corporation oversees three gaming properties—Seneca Allegheny, Seneca Niagara and Seneca Buffalo Creek. The Allegheny and Niagara Falls location are the tribe's main entertainment-focused operations—both have more than 2,000-seat entertainment centers.
Seneca Niagara is located a few blocks from the Canadian border, and Wise says guests come from northwestern New York and Ontario. They come from local nearby cities, such as Niagara Falls and Buffalo, and from as far away as Toronto. Wise considers his competitors to be both gaming and commercial establishments in all of those areas.
Wise says that with limited entertainment dollars to go around in the area, advertising and marketing with local radio and publications is important, as well as direct mail, social media and a public relations firm that coordinates interviews between the booked performers and the local media.
The Seneca casinos avoid booking a musician or comedian when the local market is flush with his or her genre. "We try to make sure that an act is [underexposed] to ensure that their loyal fans will come out. We try to be about four to six months out on all of our booking decisions, hoping that other people are paying attention to what we are booking and trying not to be competitive with us. We try to get our schedules lined up as early as possible to get the tickets on sale earlier and establish our position," he says.
Wise reports that both the Allegheny and Niagara event centers sell 40 to 50 percent of seats in cash. "Even if you're not a gaming customer, we want to attract you to come in and buy show tickets. Such people frequently fill up our restaurants with cash business, and maybe they play a couple of dollars on slots or tables, but if it's not their thing, then we still want to be a viable place for them to come and do business for our nongaming amenities."
Midwest: The Winnebago
The occasional weather disruption is to be expected in the north during winter, but sometimes disaster strikes. When the Missouri River flooded last summer, it forced the Winnebago Tribe to cancel a big festival and on June 10 temporarily closed its WinnaVegas casino in western Iowa. "This would have been our fifth year with an outdoor three-day festival," says Marketing Manager Deana Whistler.
The casino, in its 20th year of operation, has been booking entertainment for the past 15 years. WinnaVegas's indoor concert arena seats 800, and the festival grounds can accommodate up to 6,000. WinnaVegas has scheduled a replacement outdoor festival for October 8 to 9.
Whistler says the casino pulls many gamers from nearby Sioux City, and most guests come from within a 60-mile radius of the venue.
WinnaVegas reopened on July 27 thanks to amphibious "ducks"—i.e., vehicles that can drive into flooded areas. The ducks transported guests to the casino. "There was still water across the street, and that was the only way that our county would let us open again to have people in the casino," Whistler recalls. "They were necessary for weeks simply to access the casino."
Whistler said the casino tried to make the best of the circumstances, and the duck vehicles even eventually became a sort of attraction for curious guests.
You never know when your good luck might come in the form of a duck.

With the increase, Danville's millage rate will be 34.5 and will fund a school expansion that includes the building of new classrooms, library addition, band and choir rooms, an elementary cafeteria and a safe room.
Voters rejected a proposed 5.5 new debt-service mill through 2043 and a seven-year extension of the existing 15.3 debt mills to fund school renovations within the Dover School District. Nearly 68 percent of voters, 824, chose not to support the increase with only 394 voting in favor.
Shane A. Crawford unseated Carl Warren, who had served on the Atkins School Board for 10 years, in an extremely close race. It was in the only contested school board race in Pope County.
There was a tie at the Atkins polling place, with each man receiving 174 votes.
Early and absentee voting made the difference for Crawford who ended up with 188 votes versus Warren's 184 votes.
"It just goes to show you that every vote counts," Warren said. "Shane will do a good job. I was honored to serve on the board for the past 10 years."
The Courier was unable to reach Crawford following the election, but he had previously said he wanted "to help make the decisions that help our students grow and get ready for their futures."
The uncontested Pope County school board races included Ed Whitted at Dover; Brad Graves for a three-year term at Hector; Tony Haley for a five-year term at Hector; Jim Huffman at Pottsville and Breanne Davis at Russellville.

Is Weird Winter Weather Related to Climate Change?
This winter's weather has been weird across much of the Northern Hemisphere. Record storms in Europe; record drought in California; record heat in parts of the Arctic, including Alaska and parts of Scandinavia; but record freezes too, as polar air blew south over Canada and the U.S., causing near-record ice cover on the Great Lakes, sending the mercury as low as minus 50 degrees Celsius in Minnesota, and bringing sharp chills to Texas.
Everyone is blaming the jet stream, which drives most weather in mid-latitudes. That would be a significant development. For what happens to the jet stream in the coming decades looks likely to be the key link between the abstractions of climate change and real weather we all experience. So, is our recent strange weather a sign of things to come? Are we, as British opposition leader Ed Milliband put it this month while surveying a flooded nation, "sleepwalking to a climate crisis"?
The story gets tangled because trying to identify long-term trends amid the noise of daily weather is hard.
The U.K. Met Office, which keeps a global weather watch, said in a rush report put out in mid-February that we are experiencing a "hemispheric pattern of severe weather," and that the events are linked. The most extreme days of the U.S. cold event, for instance, coincided with some of the most intense storms over the U.K. And physically the connection is through the polar jet stream, which the report said showed a "persistent pattern of perturbations" — in other words, it ran wild.
The polar jet stream is a narrow stream of fast wind circling the globe from west to east at the top of the troposphere from 7 to 12 kilometers up, and usually between 50 and 70 degrees north. It forms where cold, dense air from the Arctic meets warmer and less dense air from mid-latitudes. At the boundary, winds rush in to equalize the pressure difference. The earth's rotation diverts these winds to travel eastward.
As the jet roars around the world, it drags weather systems with it. Most of Europe's weather rides in under the jet stream from the Atlantic, and most of the western U.S.'s weather comes from the Pacific in a similar manner.

Consuls from Latin America will help with the 2010 CensusWednesday, November 11th, 2009
From the LA Times:
In an effort to allay any fears between the immigrant community and federal authorities, officials with the 2010 Census met with consuls of several Latin American countries to ask for support in their communities to spread the word about the importance of being counted.
"It is vital that every person living in the United States takes part to assure accurate representation and funding for vital services", said Marycarmen Moran, promoter of the 2010 Census, adding that the consuls agreed to do all they can to make the census a success.
This cooperation is needed because Latino immigrants, mainly undocumented, have expressed concern regarding the confidentiality of the information obtained during the process, according to consulate officials.
"The immigration status of the individual is an issue that has generated some fear among immigrants", said Eddie Bedon, Ecuador's Consul General. "The Office of the Census has assured us that the confidentiality of the information will be safeguarded, and the census is being conducted irrespective of immigration status".
"For Ecuador," Bedón continued, "the information gleaned from the census will be very important. The statistics regarding the number of Ecuadoreans who live and work here will help us meet their needs, and defend their rights and interests".
William Jarquin, Consul of El Salvador, also affirmed that his government is committed to working with the census. "For Salvadorans it is extremely important because we need to know just how many of us are out there".
Pablo César Garcia, Consul General of Guatemala, said: "Immigrants need to understand that when they cooperate with the Census, they are helping to create statistics that will then be used to obtain more community investment because, based on these statistics, the city of Los Angeles will receive more [federal] funds for education and health".
In addition to the consuls from Guatemala, El Salvador and Ecuador, at the meeting with Census officials were also present consuls from Argentina, Uruguay, Spain, Bolivia, México and the Dominican Repúblic, among others.

An imaging agent available first at Mayo Clinic detects recurrent prostate cancer earlier
When Mike Hawker came to Mayo Clinic, he had about a month to live. Today, a new imaging agent keeps his cancer in check so he can enjoy life as an Alaskan legislator.
Huddled into a ball on his airplane seat, watching out the window as the Alaskan landscape slowly receded, Michael Hawker thought it was the last time he'd see the Land of the Midnight Sun.
Prostate cancer had so riddled his body — spreading to his spine, femur, lymph nodes, pelvis, bladder and eye sockets — that his life expectancy was less than a month. He was flying to Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn., looking for a miracle.
"I had come to the point where I saw my death and accepted my mortality," the Alaska state legislator says.
His wife, Carol, hadn't. Fighting to give her husband one last chance, she called Mayo Clinic to find a physician with experience in widely metastatic neuroendocrine prostate cancer. When she reached the urology appointment desk, Eugene D. Kwon, M.D., research co-director for the Department of Urology and the Cancer Immunology and Immunotherapy Program, happened to be walking by and overheard his name and a bit of the conversation.
Dr. Kwon asked to speak to the caller.
"That is remarkable in itself," Michael says. "I understand doctors just don't take cold calls."
Within days of that conversation, Michael and Carol boarded a plane headed to Rochester, Minn.
Despite four months of chemotherapy in Alaska, Michael's cancer grew unchecked. "My body was completely debilitated, and my wife had to do everything for me," he says. "I hardly remember the plane ride to Minnesota."
Upon Michael's arrival at Mayo Clinic on Dec. 1, 2010, Dr. Kwon ordered a back-to-back series of bone, pelvic, bladder and prostate biopsies and started Michael on hormone therapy to fight the cancer. "It was quite literally the most painful and worst week of my life," he says.
By Dec. 8, Michael's prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels had dropped from 36 to six.
"We just couldn't believe it," Michael says. "This was the first time in six months we received news other than 'you're going to die.' "
And so began Michael's long-term relationship with Dr. Kwon and Mayo Clinic. Within a few months of receiving hormone treatment, Michael's PSAs were nearly undetectable and stayed that way until fall 2012.
Dr. Kwon views Michael's cancer as a major offender on probation. To keep his cancer in line, Michael has his PSA levels checked regularly with doctors in Alaska, and every six months he returns to Mayo Clinic for a thorough once-over.
In September 2012, Michael's PSA level increased from 0.1 to 0.2 nanograms per milliliter (ng/mL). For most men, such an infinitesimal increase wouldn't cause concern. But for Michael, who had cancer throughout his body, the slightest increment is a four-alarm call to action.
As soon as his numbers started rising, Michael headed back to Mayo to pinpoint where the cancer was hiding through a powerful new diagnostic tool: Choline C-11 Injection, which can help locate cancer when PSA levels are at least half of what traditional imaging techniques can detect.
This new imaging technique uses a radioactive form of the vitamin choline, which cancer cells readily absorb. Clinicians inject a small amount of the agent into a patient's vein and then use a positron emission tomography (PET) scanner and computer to see where the agent collects. The result is a detailed map of a person's cancer.
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved Mayo Clinic as the first institution in the U.S. that can manufacture and administer Choline C-11 Injection. The technical name for the compound is 11C choline. The 11C denotes that a carbon atom has been made radioactive and has a half-life of 20 minutes, which means for every 20 ticks of the clock the agent loses 50 percent of its efficacy.
Its short life span means 11C choline needs to be made for each patient and administered within minutes of its creation. Michael's Choline C-11 Injection identified four spots of prostate cancer activity. After clinical confirmation of the imaging results, doctors quickly treated him with radiation therapy, and today Michael's cancer is once again in check.
Until this technology became available, determining how to treat recurrent prostate cancer could be a guessing game, as physicians couldn't tell where the cancer was. Even if a traditional PET scan revealed a mass that early, it was very difficult to tell what the mass might be — scar tissue? Arthritis? An inflammation? Cancer? Choline C-11 Injections help change that dynamic, so doctors can react more quickly and craft more-targeted therapies.
Back in Alaska, Michael is healthy and feeling on top of the world. "I have been granted a second chance at life by the people who work at Mayo Clinic and the tools and technology they have. I recognize this and am grateful for it. Every day burns a little bit brighter. I only have so many days left on this planet, and I truly want to leave a legacy of something good. I cannot describe how happy I am to be alive."
Pharmaceutical companies have known of 11C choline's imaging power for some time, but none have spent precious development resources pursuing it. From a profit point of view, it has three strikes against it: It's not patentable, it's only good for a short amount of time (20-minute half-life), and it's virtually impossible to distribute in mass quantities.
But Mayo Clinic's Eugene D. Kwon, M.D., Val Lowe, M.D., and Joseph C. Hung, Ph.D., knew it had potential to impact the care of prostate cancer patients. So, with the help of colleagues R. Jeffrey Karnes, M.D., and Christopher R. Mitchell, M.D., they pursued, on their own time, Mayo Clinic's first new drug application with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
They didn't have $4 billion, which Forbes Magazine reports is the average amount a pharmaceutical company spends for every drug approved. And they didn't want to wait patiently the typical 10-plus years it takes to put a drug through the usual approval process.
"We pursued this because it's the right thing to do," says Dr. Lowe, a specialist in nuclear medicine and PET imaging at Mayo Clinic. "We believe it will save more lives."
So, armed with years of research and published literature, the Mayo team met with the FDA to determine if Choline C-11 Injection qualified for a new drug application. The FDA gave the green light to the researchers and granted a priority review for the application. Within nine months of the researchers' application submission, the FDA approved Mayo Clinic as the first institution in the U.S. to manufacture and administer Choline C-11 Injection to help identify recurrent prostate cancer.
"The evidence is compelling," says Dr. Hung, director of the Mayo Clinic PET Radiochemistry Facility. "We were hoping the FDA would agree. And they did."
Mayo physicians want to use Choline C-11 Injection to investigate where prostate cancer manifests in the body and determine what treatments work best for which forms of prostate cancer. The team is also specifically interested in developing the next generation of other radioisotopes to pinpoint all types of cancer and other diseases, like Alzheimer's.

absolute proof of shaving points, no
but see sasha score in long program,
what was her final score with the botches of jumps (which claim didn't see) versus zhang (which saw all and /or alissa, mirai's)
not shaved points but not garner high goe's points either.
rachel benefit of doubt, ashley benefit of doubt.
All you need to do is take a look at the (goe's) plus and minuses on their jumps and sequence, spins and see who got plus for their mistakes and who go zero or nothing for their mistakes.
not total proof -no- but not total truth from judges and federations, isu either.
if people can see mistakes and /or lack of rotation, and or wrong edge, and or lack of flow on jumps, wobbly landings, and i mean every single person who saw mistakes.
i believe the forum when everyone said such and such made a mistake, because they did.
what i didn't believe was when they stated well for example zhang made one and NOT rachel, ashley, sasha, joannie, mao, yu-na made one either.
they are human they make mistakes.
yes-you job as fan is to point out other skaters mistakes, but at the same time if you point out their skater -be prepared to take that your skater made mistakes as well.
where the USFSA goes wrong is nationals -they only point out the skaters mistakes by lack of positivies on their goe's scores (catching all their mistakes, NO BENEFIT OF DOUBT, either zeors or minuses in their goes). to me that is shaving and cheating when it it totally noticeably that their usfsa favorite skaters, like ashly, rachel ,sasha, makes mistakes and get postitive goe's for their mistakes.

Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano was scheduled to be formally introduced Thursday to the 26 people who are expected to become her new bosses - members of the University of California's governing board.
The UC Board of Regents is meeting in San Francisco to confirm Napolitano's nomination to become the 10-campus college system's 20th president, an appointment that caught many university and Washington insiders by surprise when it was announced last Friday.
"Not many people knew about it,'' said UC spokesman Steve Montiel, who like many others close to the search process, has declined to discuss details of how Napolitano was put in the running for the post until after the confirmation is completed.
After the vote, the former Arizona governor will have an opportunity to address the board, which also will be setting her salary and benefits package, Montiel said.

She is expected to take over as UC's next leader - and the first female president in the university's 145-year history - in September.
The approval is expected to be swift and non-contentious, at least among the regents. Napolitano, who attended the private Santa Clara University in California as an undergraduate, was the unanimous choice of a 10-member search committee and has already announced her resignation from President Barack Obama's cabinet.
In the week since she surfaced as the search committee's choice, some faculty members have complained that Napolitano is more schooled in politics than in higher education. Immigrant rights activists, meanwhile, have expressed concerns based on her deportation record.
And several newspapers have taken issue with the secrecy surrounding Napolitano's selection and the short time frame between the announcement and Thursday's vote.

Napolitano, 55, would be succeeding Mark Yudof, 68, who in 2008 became the first president from outside California to lead the UC system in two decades but had spent 11 years leading the public universities in Minnesota and Texas.
As UC president, Yudof was one of the nation's most highly paid college administrators, earning an annual salary of $591,084 _ almost triple what Napolitano makes as Homeland Security secretary - plus car and housing allowances, retirement contributions and other benefits that brought his annual compensation at more than $925,000.

"The Americans are fools." Bond raised an eyebrow as he listened to the mocking commentary of SPECTRE's Dr. No -- the ultimate arch-villain.
The first James Bond film was an instant success. It premiered in 1962, a time when the Cold War was still seen largely as a black and white struggle between good and evil. Dr. No was America's kind of enemy -- ruthless, bloodless, no scruples -- just plain wicked. He was the on-screen embodiment of our real-world fears.
Then came the Vietnam War, a conflict that deeply rattled the Cold War consensus. American popular culture, in particular, became ambivalent over who the good guys and the bad guys really were anymore. As time wore on, the antagonists in the Bond films became more cartoonish than dangerous -- caricatures of bad guys.
That tradition continues to this day. In Bond's latest adventure "Skyfall," the evildoer "Silva" is just weird. A stateless criminal and former intelligence operative, he seems like a character mostly crafted to create a bad guy figure that could not possibly offend anyone.
|This is the way Bart Simpson would practice foreign affairs. When anything goes wrong -- "I didn't do it. Nobody saw me. You can't prove a thing."
If making evil fatuous were just a Hollywood practice, it would not be so bad. But, increasingly, blurring the line between good and bad has become a tenant of American foreign policy. It's an attractive practice, because it offers an easy out. If threats aren't perceived as threats, there is nothing to worry about. When dangers do materialize, then those who turned a blind eye to them can't be blamed -- they never saw it coming. This is the way Bart Simpson would practice foreign affairs. When anything goes wrong -- "I didn't do it. Nobody saw me. You can't prove a thing."
Hamas is a case in point. An off-shoot of the Muslim Brotherhood, the "Islamic Resistance Movement" has been mostly interested in attacking Israel since its formation in the Palestinian Territories in the 1980s. While both the United States and the European Union formally consider Hamas a terrorist organization, you'd hardly know that from observing our treatment of the organization. The White House seems mostly interested in appearing "even-handed." After all, why treat Israel any better than a terrorist group?
It is particularly baffling to see the administration condemn the regime in Syria while making nice with the Hamas-influenced Palestinian Authority. Syria is a state-sponsor of terrorism, ruled by a corrupt, oppressive regime. It is also a tool of Iran. If Palestine became a state tomorrow -- it would look pretty much like Syria.
When the U.N. General Assembly recently took up the proposal to upgrade Palestine's status, the U.S response was pathetic. Countries like Portugal and Spain that traditionally abstain in these votes wound up tacitly recognizing Palestinian statehood -- without telling the Americans they were going to jump ship. U.S. ability to muster votes for its cause was either half-hearted or wholly inept -- either explanation doesn't bode well for the practice of our power and influence.
Now the U.S. faces a situation where the Palestinian Authority can seek a seat on the International Atomic Energy Agency. From that post, Hamas can "help" oversee supervision of Iran's nuclear program. Given how much assistance Hamas gets from Tehran, you can guess how vigilant Hamas would be. Indeed, any U.N. activity in which the Palestine Authority participates is pretty much guaranteed to be, first and foremost, an attempt to marginalize U.S. and Israeli interests.
Hamas is evil. But, when the primary goals of U.S. foreign policy seem to be not to pick sides, not get involved, to disengage and to lead from behind, then results like the recent U.N. vote should be expected as a matter of course.

A Walk to Remember...
**hands over man card**
Graves of the Fireflies is really sad.
oh yes, i was thinking of some holocaust movies, but I'll second you on this. I saw this movie and then Barefoot Gen. Both were really sad, painful in fact.
I could add Forrest Gump, Titanic, Sophie's Choice, Saving Private Ryan, the end of Green Mile, Hachi - a dog story ... Benjamin Button, some of the stuff in Sleepers, Passion of Christ was really sad and painful ... Ghost was definitely sad, ...
Marley and Me.
Thanks, im sad now.
Dancer in the Dark
Just watched 'We Bought a Zoo' with the kids. Those Cameron Crowe movies really tug at my heart strings.
I once saw a sad movie as a kid. Can someone tell me the name. This thread really has me trying hard to recall. I asked my Dad but he he has Alzheimer's so can't help much.
There was a couple, one of them died and went up to heaven. They show heaven using some stars made of shiny paper like on Christmas trees. It was very simply done, no elaborate sets - probably the entire movie was shot in a room or house with that faked up heaven with shiny paper.
This was most probably late 70's, or at most very early 80's. I remember as we walked out of the theater a young lady behind us saying she cried after many years. This was not shown at the public theater, this was at the American Center (then called USIS) (which showed a lot of old movies) so the movie could have been made much much earlier that the 70's.
The name probably had 4 or 5 words in it. I believe the movie was color, but can't be sure.
When I mentioned Sophie's Choice I had not clicked on this link. I saw it as a kid, did you see it recently, or long back ?
Last Night (1998 ).
Biutiful was extremely sad as well.
"Million Dollar Baby" hit me hard.
When Spock dies in Star Trek II my allergies start acting up.
Other things that affect my allergies
The endings to the Force Unleashed I and II
The English Patient
"Taking Chance" an HBO movie starring Kevin Bacon about safekeeping of a Marine's body remains coming home for burial
i saw it a long time ago. totally forgot about the "selection" scene. streep's a great actress. hope she can live long and act in a lot more films.
Though it's a movie made primarily for children, the first few minutes of "Up" were touching. I'm referring to the scenes showing the old man's life up to the present (dating, falling in love, marriage, fertility struggles, losing his wife).
Not the saddest by any means, but it came to mind.
what are you guys???? pusssies?????
jk jk i am the same
4 movies I've teared up in;
1) Forrest Gump
2) Marley and Me
3) Up
4) Band Of Brothers, though it's a mini-series as opposed to a movie, the last line of the final episode kills me.
The selection scene reminds me of another holocause movie scene, but i cannot recall the movie -- its a long time back -- in which a mother is hiding with her tiny baby (whom she has in her arms). The baby is crying and she accidentally smothers the baby to stifle the crying -- killing her.
10 chars
Human Centipede
I was happy to see you posting after a long time, but ... ewwww
Pls log out and go away, underhand
No! That one brings out the baby in all of us...so sad.
I'd also say the ending of American Beauty is very depressing, although not very "sad".
I'll admit that due to having the same kind of dog in Marley and Me, I teared up a little during the ending of that one.
I didn't just tear up...I cried freely. Still not ashamed.
Edward Scissorhands.
So sad.
Dogs and others....
1. Old Yeller
2. Marley and Me
3. The Sandlot - very funny movie but the end - "Skip died"....
Saving Private Ryan
All the chick flicks previously mentioned that I won't admit to watching....
The last two Die Hard movies. I was really sad to have spent money on those.
Whoops - just came to mind and serious. Phar Lap.
Life is Beautiful. One of the sadder Holocaust movies.
Think how she felt?
I'm a huge dog love, but I absolutely detested Marley and Me. Couldn't finish the movie, to be honest.
Nothing more sad than the ongoing destruction of generations upon generations of countless people all done for nothing, only greed.
Brokeback Mountain, Old Yeller, Sophie's Choice.
Can't believe the superpower from globo gym lead by white goodman lost to those low life's from average joes. A real feel good story ruined. White goodman loses all his unhealthy weight, proceeds to then open up his own gym and become incredibly wealthy. Then too lose it all to average joes really broke my heart. Sad, sad, sad.
"incendies" was a bit sad...
Breaking Waves
Episode I: The Phantom Men ace. . . Saddest film I have seen.
I've seen this movie probably 12 times. When does someone die and who the hell is skip?
Also the movie "click" I believe its called with adam sandler. Always call my dad after that one.
Saddest movie I've watched was probably Umberto D.
"Dr. Zhivago" was Kleenex-worthy!
You're killing me Smalls!
bad TT poster, bad....
Nobody dies. I was watching My Dog Skip with my daughter for the umpteenth time and were talking about The Sandlot and Secondhand Lions.
Paused the movie and typed what I was watching and thinking. Sorry.
I'll have to check some of these out.
1. I Am Sam
2. Marley & Me
Paths of Glory.Not only sad but arguable one of the best, if not the best ever.
Charly w/Cliff Robertson
Taking Chance
Was made by HBO, can get from Netflix. Should be a must-see for all Americans.
What took place again?
i was tearing :cry:
That caught me surprise... :evil::cry:
Life is Beautiful for me!
Off the top of my head.
Somewhere in time.
From Wiki.
The music was absolutely marvelous.

OLYMPIA — In a much-anticipated clash, state Supreme Court justices on Wednesday scolded lawmakers for disregarding their orders over public school funding. But they didn't seem certain what more they wanted to do, or could do.
Throughout a 45-minute hearing, justices wrestled with the level of response warranted should they find lawmakers in contempt for ignoring a January order to provide a detailed plan for fully funding schools by 2018.
Possible punishments discussed at the hearing included a stern warning, invalidating tax breaks to bring in revenue and simply continuing the hearing to see what transpires during the 2015 legislative session.
"Short of doing nothing, what can we do?" Justice Mary Yu asked of Senior Assistant Attorney General Alan Copsey in the hearing's final moments.
Copsey argued against sanctions but asked that if the court settles on a punishment, it not be imposed until after the 2015 session.
Lawmakers understand the seriousness of the situation and are motivated to make decisions in the upcoming session to ensure they meet the deadline, he said. Sanctions intended to coerce behavior might actually compel elected officials to push back against the court, he said.
The attorney for the families and education organizations behind the original lawsuit over funding, known as McCleary vs. the state of Washington, urged justices to act or risk having the case back on their docket next year.
"Don't be afraid to say they're in contempt," Thomas Ahearne told justices.
He suggested they give lawmakers until the end of the year to come up with the detailed plan. If they don't, then bring the hammer down with sanctions that "make legislators uncomfortable," he said.
Overall, the rare showdown between two branches of government generated few fireworks and the tameness seemed to quash concerns, for now, that a constitutional crisis is in the offing.
"I sense that they want to do something that will be effective, but they're not sure what would be the most effective," Ahearne said afterward.
State Sen. David Frockt, D-Seattle, one of three lawmakers attending the hearing, had a similar take.
"What I heard is that they're going to hold the state in contempt but defer a remedy," he said.
Wednesday's hearing is the latest confrontation in a legal saga that began in 2007. The McClearys and other families claimed in the lawsuit that the state was failing to meet a state constitutional duty to cover the full cost of a basic education for students in public elementary and secondary schools.
In 2012, the Supreme Court found the state in violation of the constitution by not amply funding public schools. It gave lawmakers until the 2017-18 school year to comply and demanded regular updates on progress.
Then in January, the court told lawmakers it wanted this year's update to include a detailed plan as to how they would complete the task. Lawmakers said they tried during this year's legislative session, but differences — political and philosophical — prevented an agreement.
In scheduling Wednesday's hearing, the court listed several possible actions it might take if it found lawmakers in contempt.
Those included imposing fines, prohibiting spending on non-education services and programs, ordering the Legislature to provide specific amounts of money for education, and even shutting down schools by prohibiting funding of an "unconstitutional education system."
It's not known when justices will render a decision. Lawmakers, meanwhile, aren't expected back at work until January. Most are focused now on getting re-elected in November, not figuring out how they will come up with some or all of an estimated $3.5 billion to $4 billion a year needed to adequately fund public schools.
Knowing any legislative action might not come until next year is why educators such as Nick Brossoit are relying on justices to be decisive.
"I think the court clearly is frustrated with the state," said Brossoit, the superintendent of Edmonds School District. He is also president of the Network for Excellence in Washington Schools, a plaintiff in the case.
"My hope is that the court will issue a contempt ruling with a clear deadline for a specific consequence," he said. "Hopefully it will have the effect of coercing the state to comply."

How is it I enter an email company to block, AKA domain, the same damn emails get through?
I want to block all hotmail and yahoo mail. If there's an email from one of those domains that I want to let through, then I'll allow it.
I think the best way to do it, is block all mail, and then just allow the sender/companies I want to receive. The mail I receive is pretty consistent. I do look at the senders and subject of spam just to make sure something was blocked unintentionally.
Can you use wildcard characters within addresses?

WASHINGTON, June 12 (UPI) -- Oil and natural gas disruptions from hurricane activity in the Gulf of Mexico may be much higher than last year, the U.S. Energy Department said Thursday.
The Energy Information Administration, the statistical arm of the Energy Department, said its mean estimate is that 12 million barrels of crude oil and 30 billion cubic feet of natural gas could be forced offline during the current hurricane season. That would be three and four times higher than 2013, respectively, if forecasts are accurate.
EIA said its estimates are "highly uncertain" given the difficulty in predicting the intensity of storms in the Atlantic.
The U.S. National Hurricane Center shows no tropical cyclones in the Atlantic Ocean. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration says it expects this year to be mild for named storms.
Tropical Storm Karen was the only 2013 storm to effect production in U.S. waters of the Gulf of Mexico. It shut down 3.1 million barrels of oil and 6.7 billion cubic feet of gas in October.
"EIA's analysis expects that even with a mild hurricane season, there is a 69 percent probability of production outages exceeding those of last year," it said.
Nonetheless, EIA estimates that inland shale production could offset offshore shortfalls.

"No one picks the time when bad s--- happens": Great quotes from ILEETA 2013
Here's some of the best things I heard from sessions at this year's event
Editor's Note: In the column below, Lt. Dan Marcou shares some of his favorite quotes from ILEETA 2013 in Wheeling. Please allow me to share a quote from "Lt. Dan" himself. During the Active Shooter Panel discussion led by Don Alwes, Dan explained, "The active shooter can be stopped ...during the fantasy, planning, preparation, and approach phases. Once the implementation phase begins, victims need an effective and efficient act of courage to stop the killer. They need at least one honorable gunfighter — right now!" Amen to that, brother.
I have just returned from the 10th annual International Law Enforcement Educators and Trainers Association (ILEETA) conference, an event which caters to nearly all the disciplines of law enforcement.
However, it's sadly the case that so many men and women in policing never have the opportunity to experience it.
It's impossible to report on everything that was done and said at the conference – but here's some great quotes that made an impression on me.
Dave Smith
I have the most quotes from Dave Smith (a.k.a. 'Buck Savage') because he is supremely quotable. He reminds me of the lab experiment of a mad geneticist, who combined the DNA of Malloy (from Adam-12), Gandhi and sprinkled in a little bit of Groucho Marx.
Dave — ever the survival trainer — always finds a new way to present his timeless message: Be prepared for the worst on every call, because you never really know what you are going to get.
He observed, "No one ever gets the call, 'go to 110 West Elm and shoot the occupant'."
At one point he was talking about those moments in time when there is a need for leadership and no supervisors can be found rushing to the cluster to take command. During those moments, Dave said, "Let's not stare up the steps, let's step up the stairs."
Ever the motivator, Dave encouraged all to create a new generation free of "leaders," who provide reasons for people to accept personal failure. He said, "Don't give people excuses, give them expectations."
About the negativity of worrying, Dave said, "Worrying is the planning process for losing."
He added training is a key component of winning and, to do that, he said, "Perfect practice makes perfect and more practice makes permanent."
He left all with a great perspective on what a good life in law enforcement is all about, when he said, "It's about God, family and a sense of mission."
Here's the other best quotes I heard.
Lee Shayket
"If it is difficult for you in class, it will be impossible for you on the street. Keep it simple folks," emphasizing that a perfect street-ready tactic is a simple tactic.
Brian Hill
"Engage in intentional daily learning," of every pro who wishes to stay a pro.
Brian Willis
"When the master is no longer the student, he is no longer the master," on the need for perpetual learning
Jeff Chudwin
"We fight for life and they fight for death. There is no equivalency," on how police officers have a position of advantage over our 21st century adversaries, active shooters.
"How much ammo is too much? You can't have too much ammunition unless you are on fire or trying to swim!"
Neal Russow
"I'll die for you, but I won't lie for you" – advice for anyone who might be asked to compromise their integrity by another officer.
Coach Bob Lindsey
"We not only have a great message, we have great messengers," on how law enforcement is inhabited by the kind of leaders and heroes that the world needs today.
Lt. Brian Murphy
I would like to close by sharing with you some of the words of Lt. Brian Murphy, who was shot 17 times after arriving at the scene of an active shooter at a Sikh Temple in Oak Creek Wisconsin just seven months ago. Murphy spoke with a powerfully moving rasp of a voice, the result of being hit in the throat by one of the rounds. Everyone present hung on this resilient hero's every word.
"It's what you chose to do. It's what you're made of," on being a police officer.
"No one picks the time when bad shit happens; If you are in DAAT, or firearms, why half-ass it? There is a guy in a jail cell doing burpees preparing for the day he smashes you in the face!"
As Dave Smith said, "Pottery breaks, people die, and shit happens, but we have to keep going."
Lt. Murphy seconded this message by closing his presentation with the motto of the indomitable.
"Never give up!"

Aldermen passed a resolution Dec. 15 expressing the city's support for a bond issuance to fund improvements to City Corp.'s wastewater treatment facility.
The $8.5 million bond would be paid for by City Corp. without increasing its rates, requesting any revenue from the city or establishing any new revenue source, according to the resolution.
In June, the council voted 5-3 to object to the automatic renewal of its lease with City Corp., the organization that operates the city's water and sewer utility.
The objection was to a one-year automatic extension of a five-year lease, so there were still four years of the lease in effect at the time of the council's vote.
The council's decision could have a tangible impact, especially if the lease between the two organizations is not reinstated, City Corp. board members noted Tuesday.
General Manager Craig Noble told board members a lease is a "disclosable item" during the process in which a credit rating is attributed during a bond issue. The fact the lease is currently set to terminate could increase the interest rate on the loan, Noble said.
Board vice-chairman Tommy Richardson questioned how appealing City Corp.'s bonds would be in light of the current situation with the lease.
"I find it hard to believe that a financial institution is going to jump out there and buy those," Richardson said.
Noble said it was important to move forward with reinstating the lease.
Alderman Ron Knost — one of the three aldermen who voted against objecting to the lease renewal — agreed with Noble.
"We need to get it settled and move forward," he said of the lease after Tuesday's meeting, citing concerns about the impact on the bond underwriters.
When asked about what the lease negotiation process might look like going forward, Alderman Garland Steuber said "there's going to have to be a little give and take."
In other business Tuesday, Operations Manager Larry Collins informed the board a notice to proceed was issued on the South Inglewood Avenue utility relocation project on Dec. 1, and the contractor began work on Dec. 12. Conway-based Cobas is the contractor for the project.
Collins also said the utility's storm water basins are full and have been for about four weeks. When the basins are full, excess rainwater has to be treated, increasing the wastewater intake. Collins said 2011 marked "the wettest November in history" of the utility, with 13.55 inches of rain. Only 2.25 inches fell in November 2010.

This study is provided by ICPSR. ICPSR provides leadership and training in data access, curation, and methods of analysis for a diverse and expanding social science research community.
CBS News/New York Times New Hampshire Primary Poll, November 2007 (ICPSR 24362)
Principal Investigator(s): CBS News; The New York Times
This poll, fielded November 9-12, 2007, is a part of a continuing series of monthly surveys that solicits public opinion on the presidency and on a range of other political and social issues. New Hampshire residents were asked whether they approved of the way George W. Bush was handling the presidency, how much attention they had been paying to the 2008 presidential campaign, how likely it was that they would vote in the New Hampshire presidential primary, and whether they were going to vote in the Democratic or Republican primary. Opinions were solicited on Democratic and Republican presidential candidates, which candidate respondents would vote for if the New Hampshire Republican presidential primary were being held that day, which candidate was most likely to make the right decision on various issues such as Social Security, which issues were most important to respondents, whether respondents had attended any presidential campaign events, and which candidate they thought would win the presidential election. Respondents were also asked about Bill Clinton's involvement in Hillary Clinton's campaign, whether other Democratic nominees had been attacking Hillary Clinton, how important it was that the candidate they supported spent a lot of time in New Hampshire, how important the results of the Iowa Caucus would be when deciding who to vote for in January's primary, whether respondents attended the New Hampshire Democratic Caucus in 2004, and whether New Hampshire should always hold the nation's first presidential caucus. Additional topics included abortion, illegal immigration in New Hampshire, whether Iran is a threat to the United States, whether wages in New Hampshire were generally keeping up with the cost of living, terrorism, the war in Iraq, and ownership of a firearm. Demographic information includes sex, age, race, education level, household income, marital status, religious preference, frequency of religious attendance, labor union membership, type of residential area (e.g., urban or rural), political party affiliation, political philosophy, voter registration status and participation history, and the presence of children in the household under 18.

Unit of Observation: individual
Universe: Persons aged 18 and over living in households with telephones in the state of New Hampshire.
The data available for download are not weighted. Users will need to weight the data prior to analysis.
The CASEID variable was reformatted in order to make it a unique identifier.
This data collection was produced by CBS News, New York, New York.
A value label for an unknown code was added in the variable Q21.
Sample: A variation of random-digit dialing using primary sampling units (PSUs) was employed, consisting of blocks of 100 telephone numbers identical through the eighth digit and stratified by geographic region, area code, and size of place. Within households, respondents were selected using a method developed by Leslie Kish and modified by Charles Backstrom and Gerald Hursh (see Backstrom and Hursh, SURVEY RESEARCH. Evanston, IL: Northwestern University Press, 1963).
Weight: The data contain weight variables that should be used in analyzing the data. According the CBS News Web site, data were weighted by the probability of selection and by demographic characteristics to reflect the New Hampshire adult population. To create the probable electorates for each state, registered voters were also weighted by their intention of voting, their attention to the campaign, and factors related to their past voting behavior. Likely voters in New Hampshire represent 59 percent of the state's registered voter population.

Dan Mundell won't be there to applaud his friend at today's Red Cross Real Heroes Breakfast. He has something much more important to do.
A health and fitness teacher at Everett's North Middle School and the assistant wrestling coach at Snohomish High, Mundell is scheduled for heart surgery — a triple bypass.
That Mundell survived to have today's procedure is a testament to Snohomish High School wrestling coach Rob Zabel's prompt actions and cool head. Zabel is one of nearly 20 heroes being honored this morning in a ballroom at the Tulalip Resort Casino.
The 18th annual Real Heroes Breakfast is a fundraiser for the Snohomish County Chapter of the American Red Cross. With breakfast sponsorships and donations at the event, the agency has a goal of $250,000, said Kristi Myers, the local Red Cross' regional chief development officer. That money will stay in Snohomish County, supporting disaster relief and services to the armed forces.
It was more than a year ago — Nov. 14, 2012 — that the 57-year-old Mundell collapsed at the end of wrestling practice. His heart had stopped and he wasn't breathing. Zabel, 37, will never forget it.
"We were in the mat room where our practices are. We do some conditioning at the end of practice, and a short series of runs," Zabel said Monday. Finished with running, Zabel saw Mundell on the floor, perhaps to stretch.
Then he realized something was wrong.
"Dan did not get up. I got to him as he lost consciousness," Zabel said. "All of our coaches are first-aid and CPR trained. I started it right away. I did compression only — they have changed the training. If you can keep compression going, enough oxygen gets in the lungs and bloodstream."
In those life-or-death seconds, Zabel's first thought was saving Mundell. He also considered the effects of the crisis on his wrestlers. "There were probably 40 to 45 students in the room. I asked — yelled at — one of my managers to call 911. The rest of the kids were evacuated from the room right away," Zabel said. "That wasn't something kids needed to see. They signed up to learn and work hard. That day, life got very real."
A portable defibrillator was in the room, but Zabel didn't use it. "Once paramedics got there, they did," he said.
Saving someone, especially a friend, was a surreal experience. "You play it back over in your mind," Zabel said. "I kept thinking, 'Did that really just happen?'"
Yes it happened, and Mundell is thankful every day for Zabel's able assistance after his cardiac arrest.
Paramedics arrived within seven minutes of being called, Zabel said. Mundell was rushed to Providence Regional Medical Center Everett's Colby campus.
"On the way in, they had to shock me twice," Mundell said. "During the surgery, they had to tell my wife I wasn't going to make it. But they pulled me through."
Mundell said doctors subjected his body to "hibernation" by dropping his temperature for 12 hours. In two surgeries, one right away and the other a month later, he had five stents placed in arteries that carry blood from his heart.
By the end of last year's wrestling season, he had returned to work. "I ran a 5K on St. Patrick's Day, faster than I had in 20 years. I was feeling great," Mundell said.
This summer, he began having "a weird feeling" during his runs. After two types of stress tests, he learned his body was rejecting the stents.
Mundell plans to return to work after several weeks of recovery from today's surgery.
An alumnus of Snohomish High who married his high school sweetheart, Mundell has been Zabel's wrestling assistant since 2000. "He's had both my kids in class," Mundell said.
A photo from his daughter Sissy Bates-Mundell's 2012 graduation from Snohomish High also shows Zabel. "I see that picture and thank him every day," Mundell said.
Zabel, the wrestling coach hero, wishes his colleague a speedy recovery. Mundell said the coach has made just one request, telling his assistant: "The best way you can thank me is to come to work every day and be yourself."
Other awards
Along with Real Heroes honorees related to 10 other incidents, two additional people are being recognized at the breakfast.
The Spirit of Red Cross Award will be given to Everett Police Sgt. Jeraud Irving. For seven years a firefighter and emergency medical technician with Fire District 11, Irving joined the Everett Police Department in 1998. Since 2011, he has worked to train all patrol officers in Snohomish County in compression-only CPR. According to the Red Cross, the time-saving training has helped Everett officers save at least five lives in the past two years.
And the Red Cross 2013 Clare Waite Humanitarian Award winner is Bob Drewel. Snohomish County executive from 1991 to 2003 and a former Everett Community College president, Drewel will soon retire as executive director of the Puget Sound Regional Council.
The Red Cross is honoring Drewel's decades of civic involvement. He has served on many boards, among them the Economic Development Council, Healthy Communities Initiative, United Way of Snohomish County and Snohomish County Tomorrow.

Manto allowing hitters to be 'different'
By Scott Merkin / MLB.com
"The message that he sends is each guy is different and I think he's allowing them all to be different," said Ventura. "But his message to them preached every day is being patient, hitting it the other way. He's done a great job. All these guys have come in here and worked and they've been doing a great job."
Ventura pointed to hitting coach and pitching coach as two of baseball's tougher jobs.
"Just because they're relying on basically guys doing it and that's all people really notice," Ventura said. "It's unfair when guys in those positions get fired for teams not playing well but they're not the ones playing. You see a lot of good hitting coaches get fired."
Dunn looking to be aggressive early in count
CHICAGO -- When Adam Dunn swung through a Phillip Hughes pitch in the third inning of Wednesday's 2-1 victory over the Yankees, the White Sox slugger broke his own single-season franchise record for strikeouts with 178.
It's a total that reached 180 during Friday's 9-8 victory over Seattle, during which he hit his Major League-leading 37th and 38th homers and the 13th and 14th off a left-handed pitcher this season.
The truth of the matter is that Dunn doesn't care much about something he has done 1,989 times during the course of his career. Strikeouts are as much a part of Dunn's game as walks and home runs.
Even with that lack of angst over the whiffs, Dunn has thought about a way to alter his approach at the plate slightly while still staying true to what makes him successful. It's a change that might drop that strikeout total.
"I don't mean cutting down strikeouts," Dunn said. "I'm going to be more aggressive earlier in the count. I think that will eliminate, I don't even want to throw a number out there, but it will eliminate a ton of them.
"Right now, I pretty much look for one pitch, one location early in the count. If I don't get it, I don't swing. But I want to be able to kind of look not at certain pitches but at a certain location. Look for the location, and if any pitch shows up you'll be ready to hit it, as opposed to one pitch. That's my new goal."
As for the strikeout record, Dunn realizes other hitters will come along someday and probably surpass his lofty total. Dunn leads the Majors with his 180 strikeouts but also leads with 89 walks.
"Any time you make an out, to me, you feel the same way, unless there are runners in scoring position or a man on third, less than two outs, or you've got some pitches to drive and missed them," said Dunn. "Sometimes you are just going to strike out. They are going to make good pitches.
"A lot of times I put myself in holes by taking, which is also part of my game, so I don't really get mad about that. Those situations I alluded to, those are the ones that really fire me up a little bit."
De Aza's spot secure despite Wise's stellar play
CHICAGO -- Alejandro De Aza figures to make a few Minor League injury rehab starts to test his bruised left ribs before returning from the disabled list. White Sox manager Robin Ventura made clear Friday that the leadoff job and starting center-field spot belongs to De Aza, despite Dewayne Wise's 7-for-14 showing against the Yankees.
Then again, De Aza won't return to the lineup at anything less than full strength.
"Again, you're looking at how he's feeling when he comes back," said Ventura of De Aza. "I don't want him limping back in thinking we're going to have to have him play hurt. That's the main thing. When he comes back, he'll play. Dewayne's doing a great job so you just let Dewayne play until he gets healthy."
De Aza resumed baseball work on Friday and said he was feeling better with the injury that he sustained while trying to steal second against the Royals on Aug. 17.
"Yeah, it started with everything with the slide," De Aza said. "I feel like someone was stabbing me there. I couldn't tell at the moment because it was painful all the way. Then after two days, I figure I was probably [hurt]."
Reed building repertoire with changeup
CHICAGO -- Addison Reed's changeup changed for the better when he started thinking about the pitch in terms of his fastball.
"A changeup is a slower pitch, so I always thought you had to slow your arm action down and throw it differently," Reed said. "When it got good, that's when I started to throw it as hard as I could and let the grip do everything.
"Once I started doing that, it got more comfortable. The more I throw it, the more comfortable I get."
Reed, who became just the second pitcher in baseball history to record a save in each of his first three career appearances against the Yankees (joining Boston's Lee Smith in 1988), finished off the Yankees for save No. 23 by using that changeup Wednesday. He fanned Nick Swisher and Mark Teixeira with the pitch.
Although he has relied on his fastball and slider during his rookie season, the changeup is quickly gaining ground in Reed's repertoire.
"Honestly, I'd say changeup and slider are almost even," said Reed, whose string of eight straight saves was snapped Friday when he gave up two runs during a six-run Seattle ninth. "The next goal is to get all of my pitches even at No. 1.
"It kind of just all depends on the situation, the hitter. It's not just going to be lefties only getting changeups and fastballs. It depends on what their weakness is and the scouting report we have on them. I can throw all three of those pitches, lefty, right, doesn't matter."
Third to first
The Commissioner's Office announced Friday that White Sox shortstop Carlos Gonzales was one of three Minor League players suspended following violations of the Minor League Drug Prevention and Treatment Program.
Gonzalez has been suspended for 50 games without pay after testing positive for metabolites of Stanozolol. The suspension of Gonzalez, who is currently on the roster of the Dominican Summer League White Sox, is effective immediately. Gonzalez was hitting .209 in 58 games. Leyson Septimo, who has been on the disabled list since Aug. 17 with left biceps inflammation, began a rehab assignment by tossing one scoreless inning Friday for Triple-A Charlotte. The left-handed reliever has a 6.00 ERA in 12 appearances with the White Sox.
Chris Sale's 15-4 mark is tied for the fifth best by a White Sox pitcher in his first 19 decisions, according to Elias. Sale trails Gary Peters (1963), Billy Pierce (1956), Sloppy Thurston (1924) and Eddie Cicotte (1919), who all were 16-3.
Sale put together his fourth double-digit strikeout effort by fanning 13 Yankees in Wednesday's victory, joining Ed Walsh (four in 1910) and Javier Vazquez (four in 2006) as the only players in franchise history to accomplish that feat. The White Sox are 19-5 in their last 24 home games and are 22-4 against the Mariners since the start of the 2010 season.
Alexei Ramirez has produced six homers over his last 27 games after recording just two in his first 94. Paul Konerko is hitting .357 with three homers and five RBIs since returning from the seven-day disabled list.

Orders begin for Ford Focus ST
Orders have started rolling in for the new Ford Focus ST with the specs and prices being confirmed.
The long-awaited hot hatch is on sale now wuth deliveries starting in September at a starting price of £21,995 with an estate version starting from £23,095.
This price tag comes a whopping £4000 less than the Focus ST's main rival the Golf GTi. Whether this gulf in price is reflected in the drive is we will have to let you know.
Also released was the anticipated horse power figures.
The new Focus ST boasts a 2 litre engine, rather than the 2.5 lump that was found in the old car meaning better fuel consumption but you would think a cost to the peak horse power. .
Remarkably though the Focus ST generates more power thanks to the Ford Eco-boost technology where the engineers have just bolted a turbo to the engine and called it environmentally friendly.
The turbo squeezes an extra 25 horses into the engine giving it an extra 37 over long term competitor, the Golf. With this said Volkswagen are expected to release the latest incarnation of their best selling car at the Paris Motor show this September.
For those who are money conscious and want something that returns a good economy again you are in luck as it is claimed that the ST will return a rather impressive combined cycle of 39.2mpg.
It all sounds too good to be true then. Although official figures are yet to be released there is likely to be a bit of a lack of torque compared to the outgoing model as to be expected from the smaller engine.
This appears on the surface then to be the only thorn in the new Focus ST's side.
On a personal level, I hope they choose to forget about the electrical power steering and fit the old hydraulic system, it was just better.
As per usual there will be the three trim levels: ST1, ST2, and ST3.
It has been announced that the entry level ST1 will come with Recaro seats, DAB radio and keyless start. If you can stretch the budget to the ST2 then you get the privilege of dual zone climate control, automatic wipers and lights. Finally, should you be feeling extravagant the range topping ST3 gets the addition of heated, leather Recaros and bi-xenon headlights.

I just installed, xubuntu a couple of days ago, and I'm really fast beginning to fall in love with xfce...
I really like to minimize my windows to the desktop.. But would like to show windows from all workspaces on the desktop, is this in someway possible?
(also if anybody knew of a way so I only had to single click the icons, and not double click them...)
Also, if you could make it so that when you click on the desktop icon, the window won't be restored to it's original workspace but to the current in use.
'thanks in advance
No body got a clue how to receive something like this..
I know that the task list in the panel have a setting for showing windows from all workspaces.
Anybody have just the smallest idea on how to solve this...
