The rules for living in the real world have changed, because the world we live in has changed. Much of the conventional wisdom the last generation has passed on just doesn't apply like it once did. If you want to win, and win big, and, more importantly, keep what you work so hard for, you need a crystal-clear view of how the real world works - not how you wish it worked, but how it actually works.
In Life Code: The New Rules for Winning in the Real World, six-time New York Times number-one best-selling author Dr. Phil McGraw abandons traditional thinking and tells you the ugly truth about the users, abusers, and overall "bad guys" we all have in our lives. He also reveals the secrets of how they think and how they get to and exploit you and those you love. You'll gain incredible insight into these negative people, which he refers to as BAITERs (Backstabbers, Abusers, Imposters, Takers, Exploiters, Reckless), and you'll gain the tools to protect yourself from their assaults. Dr. Phil gives you the "Evil Eight" identifiers so you can see them coming from a mile away, as well as their "Secret Playbook", which contains the "Nefarious 15" tactics they use to exploit you and take what is yours mentally, physically, socially, and professionally. Life Code then focuses on you and your playbook, which contains the "Sweet 16" tactics for winning in the real world.
Edgy, controversial and sometimes irreverent, Dr. Phil again abandons convention to prepare you to claim what you deserve and claim it now. You take flying lessons to learn to fly, swimming lessons to learn to swim, and singing lessons to learn to sing. So, why not take winning lessons to learn to win?

"Life Code is excellent"
Listening to the audio of Dr Phil McGraw was really interesting, it felt like he was in the same room, just talking to me and putting his point across.
The truthfulness of Dr Phil McGraw words and examples.
I enjoyed listening to the first part which outlines what type of person we sometimes deal with whether it be in the office or at home.
It has been a long time since I've actually listened to an audio and actually agreed with the writer. This is a five star book.
I would recommend this book to those people who been treated badly whether at work or at home and feel it was their fault. This book will change your mind.
I wouldn't say I have been given the answers I would be looking for but I have been given the tools an motivation for the next chapter in my life.
Dr Phil did that for me many years ago and I've already started to take control again. This has reminded me that I really do have the answers all I needed to do was visualise what success would look like for me and write down the steps to get there.
"Well worth listening!"
Typical self help books bore me. But this book is realistic and very useful. I am resolved to changing my behaviour based in the guidance.
Just what I needed...I will share your teachings with my children. Nothing more to be said.
Thanks Dr Phil
"Ground breaking "
well enjoyed, really thought provoking. Everyone should read to ensure they are aware to stay safe.
"Not quite for me"
In a way I can't fault the book and its content, if I was to change anything, I would ask for it to be less sales oriented, the first chapter I found myself gritting my teeth, thinking just get to it.
I love Dr Phil's work and this is full of insightful stuff and great advice, unfortunately I should have read more about it as the last third is about parenting - and I am not a parent, so I hit the fast forward button a lot towards the end of the book.
The section on the games played and the defences were really good and shamefully I recognise that I have employed the negative games, so the chapter where Dr Phil told me off made me chuckle.
For 2/3 rds of it yes, the last 1/3 I can't say. I tried to think of my experience with my parents, but no.
"applicability of concepts"
I would just to recap on some key strategies
Made no opologies for puting your own outcomes above others
Far too long was spent ( a whole chapter I think) on telling you what he was going to tell you and how important what he was going to impart was. I realise that this is part of the training model of Tell em what you are going to em, tell em, and then tell em what you told them. But I found it a annoying
"Excellent book!"
Yes. Lots of information about the toxic people in our lives.
Stop giving people the benefit of the doubt.
Life is a competition and we have to work hard to stay in the game.
I will listen to this a second time.
"Read it, so don't mention it anymore Dr. Phil..."
I REALLY think this is a great book. I think EVERY woman (especially Southern) should read it, since we are taught to be polite over anything else. Be polite, but DO NOT GIVE THE BENEFIT OF THE DOUBT. Very interesting points and I liked the spirit of the information. Highly recommended. Even though I think he mentions it WAY TOO much on his show.
"Pure Dr. Phil."
Yes. He offers a fresh outlook and unique action plans.
Still a little negative. He says he is just keeping it real. He may be right, I just hope not.
What he says about infidelity was wise.
I think it has. The Dr. Phil Show.
If you like this book, read 7 Habits of Highly Effective People by Covey. Dr. Phil borrowed heavily from him.
"listen today and put information to use today"
words of wisdom
many of the relationship and self help classics but a big difference is the focus is not on getting along well with others as being wise to people who would wish to undermine you no matter how positive, helpful and essential good you are to them and others
Enjoyed listening to his voice and funny texas sayings. Listening to the book over and over helped the information stick. I enjoy listening while driving or working. It gives extra exposure that I wouldn't get by setting down to read.
Getting specific information on dealing with conflict and using it in my life and watching the person attempt to use many of the negative attacking behaviors toward me that I was not only prepared for but very clear on my desired outcome. The experience was the most positive I have ever had in dealing with a difficult person. I was totally prepared and clear on my desired outcome and did not get off course by their response. I feel more confident in my ability to deal better in the future with difficult people and catching situations immediately instead of letting it fester because "I cant believe they said or did that". Now I am more aware that "oh yes I can beleive they would be capable of saying or doing that" and I won't be caught unaware again.
"Inevitable Reading for Successful People"
I would recommend this book to many friends because it was a co-worker and dear friend who recommended it to me. Besides, this book is the handbook of practical strategies for life's inevitable challenges and unfair deals.
I would compare this book to Peck's "The Road Less Travelled" and some of John Maxwell's books, based on the emotional, spiritual, and holistic awakening the books inspire.
Dr. Phil adds a personal touch. His instructive voice and encouraging words incite an awareness of the evil and adversary in our world and how equipped we should become to adequately deal with them.
Yes and no. I was curious to hear similar experiences and how to conquer them and other experiences and how to overcome them. However, books as such are copious and cannot be digested in one sitting or course.
I thoroughly enjoyed this book!
"Useful information and worth your time to listen"
Painfully, audible has formatted their reviews which makes writing a good review very difficult. But my three words would be TEDIOUS - McGraws introduction, which drags on and on and on, is very difficult to takeUSEFUL - McGraw resummarizes specialty reading for professionals by highlighting the antisocial and personality disordered individuals in terms non professionals can relate to - he calls them 'baiters'WORTHY - worth your time to listen even though you may be aware of some or much of the advice he dispenses
McGraw calls the antisocial personality disordered (narcissists, borderlines and sociopaths in professional terms accounting for up to 30% of the general population) BAITERS which refers to Backstabbers, Abusers, Imposters, Takers, Exploiters, Reckless- people who will hurt you in life. He describes them so that you might recognize them, which he calls the "tools" to recognize them - which he calls the "Evil Eight" (identifiers) so you can see them coming, and identifies their "Secret Playbook," which contains the "Nefarious 15" tactics they use to exploit you and take what is yours mentally, physically, socially and professionally. McGraw then focuses on you (and your 'playbook'), which contains the "Sweet 16" tactics for winning in life and the real world.Basically, trust no one, recognize and understand the narcissistic and self serving deceit and manipulations of antisocially disordered people. McGraw never gives statistics but sub clinical antisocials account for at least 16-18% of the population and clinical antisocials about 8%, which is quite a large number of people. As McGraw said, you might be married to one, and you surely know several.McGraw then gives advice to 'get with it' and develop a positive goal oriented, competitively based series of personal goals for you to accomplish in life those things to maximize your own potential.
NO question about it - the intro drags and drags on with what this book is going to do for you. My advice - suffer through it by doing something else while you listen. When he gets serious then listen more carefully.
Most people have not had serious run ins with antisocially disordered people or have failed to recognize past problems as such. And most don't know that these problems are caused by deceitful, manipulative predatory personalities. Dr. Phil gives you and me everyday tools to recognize the antisocial BAITERS and concepts to avoid or deal with them effectively.
A freeform comment area might be a better means to relay the audible content than this self-limiting format. Also, except for the ruthless self promotion of the book in the beginning, which is tedious, McGraw is effective as a narrator emphasizing useful and relevant concepts as he presents them.
"Wow---Life Changing"
I would recommend to a friend, and have, because if you are or have been prey for a baitor, it gives words and information on how to stand up for yourself and be heard. I also appreciated the verbage for a conversation with a friend who is talking about you. Wow-Soooo Useful!!!!!
I would also recommend "Shark and a Goldfish," by Jon Gordon
Dr. Phil speaking brings his seriousness to each situation. I enjoyed it.
This book made me laugh and cry about so many years I have been willing to listen to lies from a baitor thinking it was my fault and there was something wrong with me. I love that I have a voice and will be more cautious from now on in future relationships.
I love it, and will listen/read and relisten/reread this book many, many times. I want to get this so that my life will be different. Thank you Dr. Phil...I am truly grateful.
"Something Unexpected"
I think as readers we need both versions, the audio to listen to over and over until we get it. The print form allows us to mark and grow with our book marks.
Understanding that things I have thought for YEARS someone was finally saying it.
This is my first but depending on the topics it might not be my last because I do enjoy his TV talk show
Its ok for me to not give people the benefit of the doubt and that it's ok to truly see people for what they are.
"Months latter and I still really like this book"
Generally, this man is too mushy-feely for me, but this is firm straight talk that rings true in my heart.

"I'm not sure," Knicks head coach Herb Williams said of Thomas' availability tonight. "It's still day-to-day, so we'll see how he feels [today] and then evaluate and go from there."
Thomas, the Knicks' starting center, is a vital cog on the defensive end and running the pick-and-roll with Stephon Marbury. He was replaced in the starting lineup Monday by Malik Rose, who scored 18 points against San Antonio. But against a dangerous Boston team, Thomas' absence could be felt a little more.
"He does so much for us on the basketball court as far as pick-and-roll and defense," Marbury said. "Normally you don't have to double-team with him because he knows how to defend on the low block. We miss him in a whole bunch of different ways."

I have two. 1) Every time I see a police officer, police car, or the like, I'm reminded of when Buzz Lightyear first saw Woody in Toy Story. So in my head or even mumbling, I'll say, "Ah, local law enforcement." 2) From the movie Captain Ron, I love using the line, "Tell the General shit happens." I queued that up on Netflix a couple of weeks ago, and my 15-year old exclaimed, "So *THATS* where you got that"

"The pessimist complains about the wind; the optimist expects it to change; the realist adjusts the sails."
"I always like to look on the optimistic side of life, but I am realistic enough to know that life is a complex matter."
"If someone tells you he is going to make "a realistic decision", you immediately understand that he is going to do something bad."
"Someone once asked me whether I am an idealist or a dreamer. I'm neither. I consider myself an optimistic realist. I see reality, but I give it the benefit of the doubt."
"The wise man realistically accepts as part of life and builds a philosophy to meet them and make the most of them. He lives on the principle of ''nothing attempted, nothing gained'' and is resolved that if he fails he is going to fail while trying to succeed."
"[There should be plenty of visuals to watch, including realistic depictions of the way Christ was tortured before his excruciating crucifixion. Caviezel, also a practicing Catholic, spent 15 days on the cross during shooting and was scourged so realistically that he dislocated a shoulder at one point.] There's an immense amount of suffering on this, ... Fortunately, God is helping me."
"Back then it was a very realistic thing for me. My own thing was, you know, wake up at 5 in the afternoon, it's dark out, hang out, maybe take a shower, then start drinking, start smoking pot, go out with friends, get wasted."
"The first step in building a solid, dependable attitude is to be realistic, not only about your inherent capabilities, but also about how well you are playing to those capabilities on any given day."

Girls reportedly found safe; dad arrested
Updated 12:40 am, Saturday, January 4, 2014
Update: KTRK and KHOU reported late Friday that the two little girls officers say were taken by their father have been found safe. The Atascocita sisters, Heidi and Faith Adams, were found at a relative's home, and their father was arrested at his family's house, KTRK says. KHOU also reports that the children's mother was taken to a hospital after being attacked by their father earlier.
Previous report:
A pair of young sisters are believed to be in "grave danger" after they were taken by their father from their home in Atascocita, authorities said late Friday.
Heidi Adams, 4, and Faith Adams, 2, are thought to be with their father, Charles D. Adams, 32.
Authorities said Adams shot his wife about 7 p.m. Friday at their home in the 18000 block of Timber Way Drive.
Her condition wasn't known later Friday.
The children were thought to still be in the house with their father, prompting officials at the scene to call for SWAT deputies from the Harris County Sheriff's Office.
Police blocked off the area and evacuated nearby houses while the SWAT team tried to make contact with Adams.
Adams and his daughters were gone about 8:30 p.m. when SWAT officers went inside the home.
He is thought to have left with his daughters in a black 2004 Cadillac Escalade with Texas license plate BM32547.
Adams is clean-shaven and about 6-foot-1. He has brown hair and weighs about 250 pounds.
According to Harris County records, he was sentenced to two years in jail after a 2003 conviction for narcotics trafficking. He was arrested for assault in 2010 but was not indicted with the charges being dropped.
Anyone with information is asked to contact the Harris County Sheriff's Office at 713-221-6000.
No photographs of the children and the man were available late Friday.

This B & B is located in an ideal area. Close to many restaurants, shopping and public transportation. We parked our car at the onsite parking lot and got around to all the museums by bus. So convenient Our hosts were very friendly. Hoghly recommend Beach Drive Inn Bed and Breakfast

We had an excellent stay at the Beach Drive B&B. Jana the innkeeper met us the first day and shared a lot of good information about the B&B and the local area. She is a real gem. Christy the housekeeper was very helpful and went out of her way to see we had what we needed. The room was very clean and comfortable. Roland he owner was friendly and knowledgeable. He tried to meet our every need. Plus he was fun to talk too. Knew a lot about the area. The food was excellent. Each breakfast was a delight.An excellent experience.

We stayed for one night and had a nice stay. The location is perfect and the service was great. Nice touches included coffee snacks and evening wine. However the rooms were a bit tired a could be updated (better a/c, decoration and tv), without losing the great character of a nice old house.
5 su novembre 18, 2015
The warmth my husband and I felt from Roland, Heather and of course Jana was unsurpassed. The bed was more than comfortable, and I can not give high enough praise for the delicious breakfasts we were served. If you are looking for a perfect place to get away from it all or want to be in the thick of things this is the place to stay. You will not be disappointed!!!!!

We stayed in the Key West Suite. It had a wonderful amount of space in the forward sitting room and an enormous king size bed. The mattress was older and particularly firm but the sheets and pillows were incredibly soft and comfortable: this they compensated for the hard mattress. The bathroom in this room was a converted closet in the corner and was difficult to stand in or use for both myself (I'm 6 feet tall) and my wife (who is 5 feet tall). I understand the need for space and the fact this was clearly an old room converted into a suite. The jacuzzi tub (which we couldn't figure out) is in a converted sitting area in the center of the wall at the foot of the bed. Which continues an odd tradition I've noticed at B&Bs of the bathing area being clearly visible from the bed. It's peculiar. Overall the place was great to stay in. You're afforded a privacy not always found at B&Bs as well as a solitary freedom for a quiet weekend. The location is walking distance from most everything on beach drive and it was quiet even on the weekends.

We were in town for a conference, which was conveniently across the street. Owner and staff were very friendly. Our room was upgraded, for what reason we didn't really find out. But the Key West suite was spacious and the bed was comfortable. If we return to the area, we would consider staying here again.

We enjoyed the close proximity to Downtown St. Pete. The B&B was perfect for a weekend get away.

Though not recently, my wife and I have stayed here multiple times. The owners are great, and they are very accomodating. There is a wine and cheese social. We also loved that they have a pair of bikes to use if you want to move around town. Most everything is within walking distance anyways. I prefer this B and B over the hotels in downtown. The value is there and it is much more quaint than the hotels, including the vinoy. I will be back and I recomment it often.

I am not usually a huge fan of the B & B concept however, this B & B was nice! We were able to check in prior to the 3 pm check-in time because our room was ready. Jana's greeting and information about town was most helpful. The breakfast the next morning was adequate. Met some other nice guests while there. Wish I could have met the Innkeepers (owners) but it was a Saturday night stay so maybe they work M-F or were on holiday themselves. This location is very nice, unless you want the beach, but it is not too far. The trolley service provided by the city was nice and inexpensive.
Risposta del proprietario
I am glad you enjoyed your stay and hope you will actually become a huge fan of B&B's. I was not able to meet you because my wife needed some holiday time for ourselves most likely since my wife travels the majority of time herself.

This little inn is a great place to stay in St. Petersburg. Wonderful location, friendly staff, and beautiful inn. We arrived on New Year's Eve for one night and we're treated to a family-style barbecue in addition to a delicious breakfast in the morning. Innkeepers Heather & Roland can't do enough for you!

The Beach Drive Inn B&B is an excellent place to get away for a couple of days. Roland was very hospitable, as well as his 2 dogs. The inn is situated in a great spot to park your car and never get back in it until you are ready to leave. The Vinoy park offers many festivals through out the year and down town restaruants are right there for you to enjoy the area dining. The Penscacola room was well appointed, the bathroom a little small, but it met our needs. I would not hesitate to visit again. Roland looing foward to seeing you on TV.

This B&B has it all: great view, step away from all manner of dining, walking distance to many attractions, friendly innkeepers who have some pretty neat plans up their sleeves, the yummiest home made cookies and so much more.

This is the best B&B I've been to by far. The inn keepers are the most welcoming and the location is great. From my room I could lay in bed and hear the horse drawn carriages go down the street. It was so peaceful and extremely clean. The Inn is beautifully decorated with many period pieces of furniture. The suite was decorated with top of the line bed linens for that extra comfort.The breakfast was outstanding, not the usual cold breakfast. The Innkeepers made sure had a gourment hot breakfast if you desired. So if you are looking for a great romantic place to stay or on business you won't be disappointed.

We found the Beach Drive Inn B&B on a spur of the moment decision to spend New Year's Eve in downtown St. Pete. How lucky were we?! Not only were we within easy walking distance of everything going on, we had one of our best B&B experiences. Roland and Heather met us at the door and it didn't take long for us to feel at home. What a beautiful home it is. Tastefully decorated, not overdone or tacky. The room was very comfortable with great views from the sitting room. Roland and Heather anticipated every need and then some. Homemade cookies before bed, breakfast on the front porch...We will be back!

What a fabulous place - from the gorgeous house to the amazing location - to the wonderful hosts. I would highly recommend this B&B! I loved the location walking in the park late afternoons and the view from the Pier. My husband nd I were in desperate need of some R&R and this B&B was perfect! Our 4 days here were amazing! We did not want to leave. We will be back next year with some more friends. Thank You, Michelle and Kevin Babcock- Washington DC

This place is very quaint and romantic, perfect for a getaway with that special someone. House is beautifully decorated with period accurate antiques, simply gorgeous. The food at breakfast was amazing, as were the freshly baked snacks provided. The staff could not possibly be nicer, they were great. The location is also amazing, within walking distance to the Pier and Citywalk. The only complaint is that the bathrooms in both the Boca room and the Key West suite are very small. So small in fact that myself at 5-8 and my girlfriend at 5-1 barley fit. If you are over 5-8 book one of the other rooms :) All the rooms are beautiful and the beds were very comfortable!

This bed and breakfast was outstanding.
5 su agosto 31, 2007
Beach Drive Inn is the former Vinoy House. The Inn has been completely remodeled and is under new management. My husband and I stayed in July of 2007 and all I can say is WOW, WOW, WOW. We stayed in the Sunshine Room and it was decorated beautifully. The InnKeepers also serve beer and wine which I thought was a very nice touch. Breakfast in the morning was anything you could ask for - waffles, pancakes, pastries, cereal, eggs, bacon, sausage...the list goes on. The Inn is centrally located within walking distance to restaurants, shopping and the Pier. Heather & Roland, thanks again, we will be sure to be back.

The Critics Speak: 'Postal' May Actually Be Better than 'Sex and the City'
We've been following the bouncing Uwe Boll for what seems like months now, but once the consummate self-promoter and sworn enemy of 279,452 filmgoers (and counting) wound up playing the victim in the Sunday New York Times, the shark was considered jumped. But an eagle-eyed tipster points out one of the more fascinating signs yet of the loathed filmmaker's resurgence: On a week when his new film Postal has reportedly been banned from multiplexes, it's also pulling a better Rotten Tomatoes score (33%) than "mainstream" offerings Made of Honor (12%), What Happens in Vegas (28%) and John Cusack's bomb-to-be War, Inc. (23%). It's also neck-and-neck with Sex and the City and a mere percentage point behind the tentpole Speed Racer, which is still stalled at the gate with 34% positive reviews.
Granted, everything will change as more reviews trickle in — but not necessarily for the worst. In any case, maybe Boll — not Roland Emmerich — is the ideal Euro-hack to helm that forthcoming $200 million Cusack apocalypse flick. At this rate, he may be Sony's only hope with the critics.

No, at this time we do not have printed copies of the books, only the downloadable e-books.
We would love to release printed copies of the books, but this is not feasible at this time – we are only on version two of the books, and it would be foolish to print our many books (and their matching worksheets) before version three at least.
Therefore, we will only print the books when we are sure that any and all errors are out, and that the books follow the best sequence and learning curve possible. You can help by reporting any errors you see to the Bugs and Errors Forum.
Good news! We are back in production on the Alphabetti books. We just cleaned up and expanded the Dod and Bob series (first series), and are in the middle of cleaning up and expanding the Sid and Sis series (series two). The next three series are also well on their way.
A new Alphabetti book will be released each week.
Alphabetti books: Ages 3 - 6. These books are good for children just learning the alphabet, or as remedial education for children who struggle with letter recognition and differentiation.
Beginner Phonics Books: Ages 4 - 7. These books are good for children who already know their alphabet. The books develop fluency in reading small, short-vowel words.
Intermediate Phonics Books: Ages 6 - 8. These books are good for children who are comfortable reading short-vowel words. Some younger children can read these books, but proceed with caution.
Advanced Phonics Books: Ages 7 - 10. We don't recommend these books for younger children unless they are gifted readers.
The books are also used in adult education (remedial and English as a Second Language), as well as in remedial education for middle and high school children.
The important thing is to proceed at a pace that suits the child/student. Some children/students need a LOT of repetition. Some children/students gobble it up (eat it up) and are ready to move on quickly.
The Progressive Phonics program was developed around two bodies of research:
The Dolch Sight-Word list, which was researched and developed by Edward Dolch, PhD. However, rather than presenting the "Dolch words" as lists of sight-words to be memorized, we took on the challenge of presenting the words phonetically and "anti-phonetically" (rule-breakers). For more information, please see our article on "Dolch words."
Our program also complies with the recommendations of the U.S. National Institute for Literacy, especially in regards to guided oral reading (reading out loud with feedback). Please see our article on reading aloud. The U.S. National Institute for Literacy also found compelling evidence linking reading progress with handwriting instruction, which is why we produce matching handwriting worksheets and activity sheets for each of our books. Please see our article on handwriting.
For more information on the U.S. National Institute for Literacy and its study, please follow this link: National Reading Panel Study.

(Translation: A writer and illustrator who enjoys linguistic challenges and working with children.)
We discontinued the old fonts because there was more demand for print-style fonts. (The old fonts were pre-cursive fonts.)
If it is important to you to have the pre-cursive fonts, please post a thread/request in the "Feature Requests" forum.
We just finished the "renovation" of the Intermediate Series, and will start the "renovations" for the Advanced series in July 2009. These revisions will take about two months.
In the meantime, please use the old versions of the Advanced books.
Most people staple the books in the upper left corner (see image #1 below).
Some people cut the pages in half and staple them together (see image #2 below) -- this requires a heavy-duty stapler that can staple 20 or more pages.
If you want to cut the pages in half and don't have a heavy-duty stapler, you can punch a hole in the upper left corner and tie the pages together with a ribbon (see image #3 below).

You will suffer through one of two things in life, either the pain of discipline or the pain of disappointment - Nick Saban
NICE! My sub-woofer did a signature Ed Lacy spin while viewing it...lol.
Thanks for posting. I think I've watched highlites of the BCS game everyday since Jan 7th and I love how he just went thru the irish like a hot knife in butter.
really proud of mr lacy this past year. whether some want to admit it or not he had quite a few detractors among us.
he was a hoss.
Like art.
I know what it takes to win. If I can sell them on what it takes to win, then we are not going to lose too many football games. - Coach Paul Bryant and I can see Coach Nick Saban agreeing completely.
Man we have been very fortunate to just get one great running back after another and better every season. Sure, the other teams can pick up 4 and 5 stars but can they coach em up like they do at Bama? No how ... no way. RTR!!!

Fantastic video. Thanks for sharing that.
What a beast. Gonna miss him.
The unfortunate thing for Eddie Lacy is that he has been grossly overshadowed by the likes of some unbelievable backs. Between Ingram, Richardson, and then splitting time with Yeldon, I don't think he ever lived up to his full potential in the national spotlight. In another generation of Tide backs, he could have been a superstar, instead he became another back in a long line of backs. I expect some great things out of Lacy in the future, and I think there is a chance that he might be the most successful long tem back that we wind up putting in the NFL. It has been an unbelievable run over the past few years, and it will only get better with our newest class of backs. Roll Tide!!
And the roses in this grand ol stadium are once again Crimson! - Eli Gold, 1-7-10
Alabama wasnt just dominating Monday night. They were some word that has yet to be invented in the English language. - Aaron Torres, 1-10-12
"If this was a prize fight, they'd call it off!" - Brent Musberger, 1-7-12
"Alabama, back on top of the College Football world!" - Chris Fowler, 1-11-16
"Touchdown!!! Alabama Wins!!!" - Chris Fowler, 1-8-18
The man is just a beast. To watch him physically man handle a linebacker and shove him in the dirt while carrying the ball is pretty impressive. And to do it all with a grin on his face is even better. RTR :-)
Thanks for the post. Feel a lot of pride in his play this year. Ton of joy to watch.

NM officer fired in van shooting to appeal
Attorneys for Elias Montoya announced Sunday that they are reviewing the allegations against the veteran officer
Associated Press
TAOS, N.M. — A New Mexico State Police officer who fired shots at a minivan full of children during a chaotic October traffic stop in Taos plans to appeal his firing.
Attorneys for Elias Montoya announced Sunday that they are reviewing the allegations against the veteran officer and that Montoya intends to file an appeal for wrongful termination.
"Every day police officers put themselves in danger to protect the public. One of the most dangerous situations is a traffic stop on a rural road with limited radio access. It is difficult to second guess the actions of Officer Montoya without completely reviewing all of the evidence," attorney Antonia Roybal-Mack said in a statement.
Under department policy, Montoya has 30 days to appeal his firing to the Public Safety Advisory Commission, which is made up of civilians appointed by the governor.
Montoya's attorneys also said their client is thankful for the support he has received from the community.
On Sunday, several dozen people braved freezing temperatures to march through the northern New Mexico community with handmade cardboard signs.
"We support him because of who he is and what he is to this community," Taos resident Ray Martinez told KRQE (http://bit.ly/1bqOsHT).
State Police Chief Pete Kassetas fired Montoya on Friday, following an internal investigation and a disciplinary hearing.
Video from a police cruiser's dashboard camera taken during the Oct. 28 traffic stop has drawn national attention. It showed Montoya shooting at the minivan as a Memphis, Tenn., woman drove away from a traffic stop after an officer knocked out her van's window with a baton.
Montoya wrote in a police report that he aimed "at the left rear tire in an attempt to immobilize the vehicle."
The motorist, 39-year-old Oriana Farrell, had been stopped by another State Police officer for speeding. She fled twice after that officer tried to give her a ticket and then arrest her.
Farrell and her son were arrested in front of a hotel after a chase in which the van traveled at speeds of nearly 100 mph. Farrell was released on bond and faces charges of child abuse, fleeing and misdemeanor possession of drug paraphernalia for a pair of marijuana pipes that authorities say were in the van.
According to a police report, Montoya later bought the entire family food from McDonald's during the booking process.
Martinez and other supporters said Montoya, who had worked for the department for 12 years, should get his job back and that Farrell should take most of the blame for endangering her children and others as she sped through the town.
"You don't go 110 miles an hour through a school zone, putting everybody else's life in jeopardy," Martinez said.
Others in Taos have complained that police used excessive force during the stop and they are pushing for state police to change their practices. Members of the group Citizens for Social Justice plan to meet with Kassetas this week to discuss the incident.

International signing day pivotal for team pipelines
Wednesday brings initial availability of many foreign-born prospects to big league clubs
By Anthony Castrovince / MLB.com
A Major League organization cannot reasonably survive in the standings without a strong base of young talent.
In today's game, the free-agent field has become so watered down and so financially inefficient that you can't expect to buy a winner on the open market. Nor can you augment a club in-season, in today's parity-prone environment, without a hefty load of prospect chips.
Combine those realities with the steady growth of foreign-born players -- 21.6 percent of the players on Major League rosters and disabled lists on Opening Day were born in countries other than the Draft-eligible territories of the United States, Canada and Puerto Rico and the closed society of Cuba -- and a somewhat unheralded but undoubtedly vital date stands out:
July 2.
That's the day 16-year-old international players are first eligible to sign with big league clubs, and it's become increasingly competitive at a time when spending pools are both capped and record-dependent.
The results, at large, have not revealed themselves at the top just yet. However, the changes made in 2012, in accordance with the Collective Bargaining Agreement, that tie teams' bonus pool amounts to their previous year's record are expected to eventually make a huge impact on the Major League playing field.
"The competitive-balance aspect is greatly underplayed," Tigers president, CEO and general manager Dave Dombrowski said. "Because not only is there a significant financial difference in how much one team can spend on the Draft vs. another, but you also have the same thing internationally. Young talent is the pipeline for success into the future."
That pipeline has widened considerably in recent years.
The emergence of MLB's Amateur Prospect League, as well as leagues like the Dominican Prospect League and International Prospect League, have put more eyes on more players more frequently. Teams have invested greater amounts of time and resources not just in Latin America but also Asia, Europe and Australia. GMs compare the days leading up to July 2 to the scouting that goes into the NCAA Regionals and conference tournaments just before the First-Year Player Draft.
Come Wednesday, there will be a flurry of previously negotiated deals announced. The Astros, by virtue of finishing 2013 with MLB's worst record, have the largest bonus pool, at $5,015,400, while the Cardinals have the smallest, at $1,866,300.
The pool restrictions, however, have not stopped clubs from investing heavily on the international front.
Total spending in 2013, the first full calendar year of bonus pools, jumped to $97 million, a 15-percent increase over 2012. The Rangers and Cubs both blew past their pool restrictions, spending in excess of $8 million apiece, and accepted the applicable penalty in order to stock their system with the likes of Marcos Diplan, Jose Almonte and Yeyson Yrizarri (Rangers) and Gleyber Torres and Erling Moreno (Cubs).
Furthermore, a few teams that had gone the thrifty route in years past underscored the importance of this particular scene by setting new spending standards for themselves. The Dodgers, for example, invested just $177,000 in 2011, per Baseball America, but increased that total 25-fold in '13 to become the game's third-highest international investor.
"The people that come out here as members of the front office to evaluate talent are experts in their field and they are paid a lot of money to make these decisions that impact teams," Ulises Cabrera, co-founder of the DPL, told MLB.com's Jesse Sanchez. "These decisions have consequences that impact their bottom lines currently and impact the long-term success of organizations. It's not to be taken lightly."
Beyond the money, what's made this period all the more intriguing for fans is the sheer availability of information on the players involved. Sanchez has worked sources with every organization to compile our Top 30 International Prospects list, which is rife with scouting reports and video, putting faces to the names.
The Yankees, fresh off a winter in which they re-established themselves as big spenders on the free-agent market, are reportedly on the verge of landing the top two players on that list -- shortstop Dermis Garcia and third baseman Nelson Gomez, both from the Dominican Republic. They are also the favorites to land Dominican outfielder Juan DeLeon (No. 5) and Venezuelan outfielders Jonathan Amundaray (No. 7) and Antonio Arias (No. 9).
Clearly, the Yanks are serious about stocking their system this summer, and they'll be taking their $2.193 million bonus pool amount as a mere suggestion, much like the $189 million payroll luxury-tax threshold.
But for most clubs in most years, the international market can become another source for the age-old quantity-vs.-quality discussion. Do you allocate a significant sum of your pool to a single player, as the Red Sox (No. 29 on the pool allocation list) might do with Dominican right-hander Christopher Acosta? Or do you divvy up your resources among several lower-profile commodities, as the Nationals have hinted they'll do?
It's big business with big stakes, because every team wants to be the one to find the next Miguel Cabrera or Felix Hernandez or Hanley Ramirez. And every team needs to keep that pipeline flowing.

A fashion designer has filed a defamation lawsuit against [lastfm link_type="artist_info"]Kurt Cobain[/lastfm]'s widow [lastfm link_type="artist_info"]Courtney Love[/lastfm]. Love has been known to post crazy ranting that occasionally is barely legible on her twitter account. She's even tweeted nude pictures of herself. Now it seems that Ms. Love has taken to twitter to allegedly slam fashion designer Dawn Simorangkir.
Love and the designer have been squabbling since 2009. Love allegedly accused Simorangkir of being a drug-pushing prostitute with a history of assault and battery who lost custody of her own child. Wait a minute? That could almost describe Love?
Here's what Love tweeted:
"She has received a vast amount of money from me over $40,000 dollars and I do not make people famous and get raped too!"[pullquote quote="She has received a vast amount of money from me over $40,000 dollars and I do not make people famous and get raped too!" credit="Courtney Love via Twitter"]
Attorney Bryan Freedman who is representing Somorangkir says this is the first twitter lawsuit, stating "There has never been anything like this case before." Freedman hopes to prove that Love has been defamatory towards Simorangkir and force Love to compensate his client for damages.
In response, Love's lawyer James Janowitz said, "We don't believe there's any defamation, and even if there were defamatory statements, there was no damage."
The trial gets underway this February in Los Angeles.

Summaries of EU Legislation
Summaries of EU legislation: direct access to the main summaries page.
- Archived: true
Iceland – Education and culture
Candidate countries conduct negotiations with the European Union (EU) in order to prepare themselves for accession. The accession negotiations cover the adoption and implementation of European legislation (acquis) and, more specifically, the priorities identified jointly by the Commission and the candidate countries in the analytical assessment (or 'screening') of the EU's political and legislative acquis. Each year, the Commission reviews the progress made by candidates and evaluates the efforts required before their accession. This monitoring is the subject of annual reports presented to the Council and the European Parliament.
Commission Report [COM(2011) 666 final – SEC(2011) 1202 final – Not published in the Official Journal].
The 2011 Report highlights that Iceland has already put in place most of the European Union (EU) acquis on education and culture. The country applies these provisions due to its membership of the European Economic Area (EEA).
EUROPEAN UNION ACQUIS (according to the Commission's words)
The fields of education, training, youth and culture are primarily the competence of the Member States. A framework for cooperation on policies relating to education and training has been adopted with a view to converging national policies and achieving joint objectives through an open method of coordination. It came out of the work programme 'Education and Training 2010', which brings together all the actions in the field of education and training at European level.
Furthermore, Member States must take into account the principles stated in the Treaty and ensure that their international commitments contribute towards preserving and promoting cultural diversity. It requires Member States to equip themselves with a legal, administrative and financial framework and the implementation capacities necessary for ensuring sound financial management of European Union programmes related to education, training and youth.
EVALUATION (according to the Commission's words)
Iceland has achieved a high level of political and legislative alignment in the fields of education and culture.

The Palo Alto City Council discussed the deeply contentious topic of rising health care costs at length on Monday, Feb. 4. And while members didn't adopt any changes, they directed staff to explore the city's options for health plans, including a "flexible benefit plan" (also known as a "cafeteria plan") in which an employee can choose from a menu of benefit options.
The Monday conversation was the latest installment in a series of meetings the council set up last year to tackle the complex and contentious problems of rising pension and health care costs. According to a new city report, the city's health care expenses in fiscal year 2013 totaled $27.3 million, up from $11.5 million in 2003. The report from City Manager James Keene states that health care costs "will continue to rise at an estimated rate of 6 to 7 percent in 2013 for active employees, retirees, and their dependents, consuming a greater portion of the general-fund budget."
The city's proposal to revamp health care for employees and retirees hit a speed bump last year, when the Palo Alto Police Officers Association signed a new contract that offered various concessions on pensions and health care. But the union also vehemently rejected changing health care benefits for future retirees.
Evelyn Gutierrez, an organizer for Service Employees International Union, Chapter 521, challenged the city's proposal, claiming in a letter that a "cafeteria" plan would "selectively cut retirement medical benefit for long-term employees while leaving it intact for newer employees."
Palo Alto seeks funds to revamp transit center
While Palo Alto wrestles with a massive proposal by John Arrillaga to build an office complex and theater at 27 University Ave. and to redesign the busy and outmoded transit center downtown, city planners are also pursuing an alternative to pay for the dramatic transit improvements.
The City Council plans to consider on Monday night, Feb. 11, a list of projects that could qualify for the One Bay Area Grant, a program that distributes funds from the regional Metropolitan Transportation Commission to local jurisdictions for projects promoting transportation, bike and pedestrian improvements. In Santa Clara County, the MTC funds will be administered by the Santa Clara County Valley Transportation Authority (VTA), which has a total of $71.3 million available for distribution.
According to a new report, Palo Alto plans to submit 10 projects for possible consideration, including two having to do with the University Avenue Caltrain station. The first involves extending the existing Urban Lane Transit Mall south and building a parking structure to support Caltrain — a project estimated to cost up to $15 million. The city is requesting $10 million for the project, with the city footing the rest of the bill.
The second project would reconstruct the transit station to achieve a similar design offered by Arrillaga, which would raise the number of transit stops and layover stations from 21 to 32. This ambitious proposal would cost about $34 million, about $24 million of which the city hopes to get in grant funds. If the city receives this grant — a bit of a long shot given the amount of the request and the total pool of funds available — the city would then have to find a way to raise its matching share of $10.2 million.
The city is also seeking grant money for a series of other projects, ranging from a bike-and-pedestrian bridge over U.S. Highway 101 at Adobe Creek to traffic-signal upgrades.
Arson suspect deemed unfit for trial
Damon Luce, the man accused of setting several fires at the Arastradero Preserve in Palo Alto, was found mentally unfit to stand trial after a doctor's testimony Feb. 6.
Proceedings against him will be suspended while Luce is sent to a state psychiatric facility to restore his competency until he is fit to stand trial. Duffy McGilligan, Santa Clara County deputy district attorney, said Luce could be in the facility for as long as three years.
Luce allegedly set five fires in the Arastradero Preserve on Aug. 8, 2012. He was charged with five counts of felony arson.
McGilligan said the testifying doctor evaluated Luce as having a psychotic disorder not specified. The court's finding meant that Luce was of a mental state in which he was either unable to understand the nature of the proceedings against him or unable to rationally assist in his defense.

HOUSTON - An elementary student is facing a serious charge after he was allegedly caught exposing himself in class.
Katy I.S.D. officials sent a letter home to parents Wednesday night. They also released a statement reading:
"On March 5, school officials at Mayde Creek Elementary were notified of an alleged act of indecent exposure by a student in a fifth grade classroom. The parents of the students known to have witnessed this inappropriate conduct were contacted following the incident."
A district spokeswoman tells Local 2 that after learning of the incident, Katy I.S.D. police promptly investigated the incident, and says the student was disciplined in accordance with the district's student code of conduct.
The incident was referred to the district attorney, who accepted charges. The student is now facing a class B misdemeanor for indecent exposure.
Katy I.S.D. has not said how the student was punished.
Since the student is a minor, no other information regarding this case has been released.

|Mechanics Modeling Workshop in NYC
|STEMteachersNYC, Hosted by Teachers College, Columbia University
|Math, Science, and Technology Dept.
|New York
|Opportunity Type:
|Modeling Workshop
|Teacher Status:
|Teacher Level:
|High School
|This workshop is for high school physics and physical science teachers worldwide. Students preparing to teach science, as well as college faculty, are welcome. Modeling Instruction is useful for science teaching at any level, and key concepts of kinematics and Newtonian mechanics are directly relevant to all sciences.
Location: Teachers College, Columbia University, 525 W 120th St. NYC, 10027
Peer leader:
Paul Bianchi (Chappaqua High School, Chappaqua, NY) and Zhanna Glazenburg (Croton Harmon High School, Croton-on-Hudson, NY)
Prerequisite: One semester of college-level algebra-based physics is highly recommended.
ORGANIZER: Prof. Fernand Brunschwig, Teachers College, Columbia University (AMTA Board, member-at-large). firstname.lastname@example.com
A Chemistry Modeling Workshop is offered concurrently. A Middle School Science Modeling Workshop is offered from July 13 to July 31.
Modeling Instruction focuses on key selected physics models and uses a process-oriented inquiry approach that is extremely effective in helping students develop independence and problem-solving ability. Immersing teachers in an environment where they see the instruction from the point of view of the students is key to strengthening the intertwined mechanics content knowledge and pedagogical content knowledge.
1. Educate teachers in use of a model-centered, guided-inquiry method of teaching mechanics concepts that are fundamental to all sciences.
2. Help participants integrate computer courseware effectively into the curriculum.
3. Help teachers make better use of national resources for science education.
4. Establish electronic network support and a learning community among participants.
5. Strengthen local institutional support for participants as school leaders in disseminating standards-based reform in science education.
The main objective of the Modeling Workshop in mechanics is to acquaint teachers with all aspects of the modeling method and develop some skill in implementing it. To that end, teachers will be provided with a fairly complete set of written curriculum materials to support instruction, organized into coherent modeling cycles. (The modeling cycle is described at http://modeling.asu.edu/modeling-HS.html.) The physical materials and experiments in the curriculum are simple and quite standard, already available in most physics classrooms.
To develop familiarity with materials necessary to fully implement this approach in the classroom, we find that teachers must work through the activities, discussions and worksheets, alternating between student and teacher modes. Each of the eight units in the mechanics course manual includes an extensive Teacher Notes section.
Each of the eight units are based on a specific model, organized in a progressive sequence, as follows: a) Constant velocity model; b) Uniform acceleration model; c) Free particle (balanced force) model; d) Constant, unbalanced (net) force model; e) Constant vertical, and zero horizontal, acceleration particle (projectile motion) model; f) Circular motion model; g) Momentum transfer (conservation) model; and h) Energy transfer (conservation) model. Throughout the course, teachers are asked to reflect on their practice and how they might apply the techniques they have learned in the course to their own classes.
Three graduate credits will be available from SUNY Empire State College, with additional cost.

Get the Magazine That Changed It AllSubscribe
There is no song associated with the Quad Cities area. You won't hear "I left my heart in Davenport, Rock Island, Moline and East Moline …" along the Iowa-Illinois line. But if there were such a song, Marlene Janssen would be the one to sing it. Of course, the song would have to be bellowed in Marlene's car on the L.A. freeways - the only place she appears in concert - at high volume and at high speed. When Marlene split the Quad Cities for L.A. four years ago, it was in search of "something new." But she was wary. She had heard that there were trolls in L.A. that abducted pretty young girls and turned them into mindless, soulless automatons. That, she pledged, would not happen to her. She was not going to change. She was right.
Marlene is country bred, strong and competitive. She can pop your mitt with a smoking fastball and flip a Frisbee with powerful grace. She's a speed skater and a water skier. And when you point a cautionary finger at a recent bruise, she laughs, "I tried slaloming over four wakes and when I fell, the ski just came right behind me and smacked me in the leg. No big deal. It didn't even hurt till the next day. I never feel a bruise until I see it; then I think, Gosh, that's supposed to hurt, isn't it? Luckily, I've never broken any bones - knock on wood. I've broken my nose, and that's it. But that was just cartilage, playing volleyball."
With a strength of character tempered in the heartlands, Marlene would frustrate any L.A. troll. In the Quad Cities, she saw simplicity and liked it. She had a garden and picked her own beans. She owned a goose, which she traded at the Seed and Feed for a goat that she walked on a leash. You know, the bucolic life. Then - bang! - she was drawn to glamorous L.A., with a three-year-old car, $120 and the call of destiny in her ear.
Marlene dipped a toe into modeling waters and found them pleasant. The modeling world thought she was pretty special, too. She has that effect on people. She likes them. You see that right away. And you learn that she puts thought into action.
There was the time when she dragged her girlfriend into a brawl to try to even the odds. "It was five guys beating up one guy. And I looked at my friend Bernie and I said, 'Let's go get 'em.' So we hopped out of our truck and went over and started kicking and slugging and pulling hair. And when those guys saw two girls run up with their fingernails and flying feet, they ran. I could have gotten hurt, but it was the principle. Those guys were just not letting up."
Although some would call it foolhardy, for Marlene it's just caring enough to get involved. It is certainly not a big-city thing to do. Which only proves that she has survived the transition. The values and the moral fiber she took with her to L.A. have not faded. Certainly, she's as gutsy as ever. That's what it takes to keep the trolls away. In the ongoing battle between the country girls and the big cities, she is proving herself a formidable adversary. Our money's on the bantamweight from Moline.

George Clooney Pays Restaurant Bill for Stranger in Random Act of Kindness
Hollywood actor George Clooney has paid for a complete stranger's restaurant bill in Berlin, Germany, after apparently deciding to perform a random act of kindness.
The popular actor was dining at a Berlin restaurant with a group of friends, enjoying themselves so much that they reportedly became quite loud. It was reported by some media outlets that he might have thought his group had been a little too loud and disturbed some of the neighboring diners.
According to some reports, just in case their fun had disrupted the evening of a nearby diner, Clooney decided to take care of his bill to say sorry, according to UPI.
The diner who got the free meal spoke to the Bild newspaper to explain about what had happened last Friday evening at the Grill Royal restaurant in Berlin.
The man, who wished to remain anonymous explained that he went to pay for his table's meal when a waiter told him that his $134.66 bill had been already paid for by George Clooney, who had been dining with friends at the table next to them.
However, the diner admitted that he had not been disturbed at all by Clooney and his friends, and later spoke to media about the rumors that the Hollywood actor and his friends had been too loud and were trying to say sorry: "That's not true at all. They behaved in a very cultivated manner. I was stunned."
The diner also admitted that he did not even recognize or realize George Clooney was dining on the table next to them until they had already left the restaurant.
The man has reportedly said that he hoped he would be able to return the act of kindness in the future.
Clooney is currently in Germany filming scenes for the upcoming movie The Monuments Men.
Here is a video documenting another man celebrating his 22nd birthday by carrying out 22 random acts of kindness:

Rays Reliever Joe Nelson is Durham bound
After last nights game the Tampa Bay Rays optioned Rays reliever Joe Nelson to Triple-A Durham. Considering that Nelson's errant throw towards Carlos Pena in the top of the ninth inning spawned the Kansas City Royals last run of the night. Nelson was pitching to Royals second baseman Alberto Callaspo and was only behind him 1-0 at the time he put a short hopper down to the right of the mound and Nelson picked the ball up and one-hopped it towards Pena.
Pena made an attempt to smother the ball, but it still wiggled out towards the first base stands and Rays second baseman Ben Zobrist got the ball, but Callaspo had advanced to third base by the time the Rays maintained some sense of order in the play. Zobrist quickly threw the ball to home to secure that the run would not score on the play. But after Mike Jacobs pinch hit for catcher Miguel Olivo and struck out, the Royals still had two out to play with in the contest. Brayan Pena then hit a sacrifice fly to leftfield, and the ball was deep enough for Callaspo to tag up and score without a problem.
But this was just the latest in a series of rough outings for Nelson in the last several weeks. Even though his ERA has shrunk in his last 10 appearances, Nelson has been the victim of some troublesome counts and unexpected wildness lately. In his last 10 outing he has 8 innings of work while surrendering only 5-hits and 2-runs during that span. But his walks-to-strikeout ratio during those 10 appearances is 10/6. A reliever basically lives on his walk-to-strikeout ratio, and this one is leaning a bit towards the wild side of the equation.
One unusual note is that Nelson is a former Royal having pitch for the team in 2006, and went 1-1, with a 4.43 ERA and 9 saves for the team. But the catalyst for tonight's action might have been started last Saturday when Nelson came in the 12th inning and loaded the bases with one out. He did manage to get out of the inning scoreless and received his 3rd save of the season. His 7 home runs surrendered this season is the third worst mark in the AL for a reliever, but he has only given up 1 HR in his last 19 appearances. Even with his unsteady inning tonight, he did lower his ERA from 4.12 to 4.02 in this game.
Nelson told Marc Topkins of the St. Petersburg Times tonight after he learned of his demotion, ""It isn't the first time," Nelson said. "Hopefully, I'll be back in September, and see what happens. You're never happy about it, but it's a business. It's how the game is. It's not (manager Joe Maddon's) fault. Pitch better if you want to stay in the big leagues, that's all it comes down to."
The Rays will make a corresponding move in the morning, but I am leaning towards them maybe bringing up ex-Ray Jason Childers, who notched his fifth save of the season for the Bulls tonight against the 2008 Governor's Cup winner Scraton/Wilkes-Barre. Childers is currently 8-3 with a 3.92 ERA in 42 appearances this year. He also has 7 holds this season and 45 strikeouts.
Another player who could make the grade back towards the Rays could be Dale Thayer, who has been up with the Rays twice so far this season and is 0-4 on the year, but has 14 saves for the Bulls. Thayer recently went back down to Durham after the Rays activated Brian Shouse off of the disabled list at the beginning of this home stand.
We probably will not know the actual player selected to come up to the Rays until about game time tomorrow. Mainly because tomorrow's game is being broadcast on Fox Television, it will be a 4:10 pm start time and the player will arrive sometime after the game has started on Saturday.
Wednesday Nights game against the Boston Red Sox has been selected by ESPN as one of their broadcast games that night. This will be the second game in 5 days that the Rays will be on National television. Tomorrow's game is to be broadcast on Fox starting at 4 pm.

Wednesday's game is going to be on ESPN? I hope I still get it on NESN here at home! I can't stand the ESPN announcers! It has to be tough moving back and forth between the majors and the minors for these guys. It sounds like Nelson has the best possible attitude about it that he can. Good luck to him!
He is one of the guys I chat with every day, but he also understands it is a business and he is struggling right now.
He was with us in the minors a few seasons ago, and he knows the drill.
As he said in the quote, he expects to be back here in September, if not before that time.
Sometimes you have to take a step back to move forward.
I do not know who said that, but it is brilliant.
Rays Renegade
It was taken when I did the Interview on Wed night.
I am not usre if it is going to be locally.
you might want to message NESN either on Twitter or Facebook and get someone to verify it will also be on NESN.
I do not like the ESPN crew either, but then I turn the sound off and listen to the Rays radio guys when it is on ESPN or Fox.
But I will be there in my rightfield seat waving at the balls as they go down the first baseline.
Rays Renegade
Renegade, since you're at these games, you need to wave a flag or something so we can see you when you're on national TV! Good luck to Nelson and good luck to the Rays when they play the Red Sox.
If I did anything more to call attention to myself they might have t hire me. lol
Seriously, I have been in my seat since 1998 at the bottom of Section 138, right off the green wall that Ben Zobrist , Nick Markakis, flipped over.
I get teased that I am on anytime a ball goes down the line into the corner.

The ongoing feud between Oscar De La Hoya's Golden Boy Promotions and Bob Arum's Top Rank has stood in the way of countless potential fights. Prime examples include junior welterweights Lucas Matthysse and Brandon Rios, middleweights Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. and Saul Alvarez and, most recently, super bantamweights Abner Mares and Nonito Donaire.
On Saturday, Mares (24-0-1) will defend his WBC title against Anselmo Moreno (33-1-1) at the Staples Center in Los Angeles (10 p.m. ET, Showtime). And let's be honest: Very few people care. It's hard enough to get average fans interested in the 122-pound division, even harder when they know it's not even the best fight they could be seeing.
The best fight is Mares-Donaire, which would feature the two unquestioned top dogs in the super bantamweight division. Mares is slick and skilled, the winner of Showtime's bantamweight tournament who has been picking off top opponents for the last two years. Donaire, who dominated Japan's Toshiaki Nishioka last month, blends power and speed better than anyone in the division.
On a recent conference call, Mares expressed interest in making a Donaire fight.
"All I can say is Nonito, he's a great fighter," Mares said. "He's really, really explosive, a really great fighter. His last performance against Nishioka, I mean the fight was a little bit, you could say boring at the beginning but being that Nishioka wasn't throwing that much, he wasn't giving that much. Nonito found a way and took his time and got that knockout. He looked good.
"If I were to fight him, obviously I'd fight him different and it would be a great fight. I know and I've seen that people want that fight. They've been asking for that fight and they know that I could give them a hell of a fight and definitely beat him as well. But again, that's in the future, first things first."
There are no reasonable excuses for not making Mares-Donaire. Both fighters are experienced champions who are ready for the best fight out there. Both are marketable to networks -- Mares to Showtime, Donaire to HBO -- and both have developed a following over the last two years.
The only excuse is that representatives from Golden Boy and Top Rank don't want to be in the same room together. And that's not good enough. Because only the diehards will watch Mares-Moreno, just like only the diehards watched Donaire-Nishioka.
You want to build an audience, give them something worth watching.

Discussion in 'Star Trek: The Next Generation' started by Gaius, Mar 19, 2012.
Name the astronaut found dead in The Royale.
Stephen Richey
Your turn.
How many ships do you need to perform a Kolvoord Starburst?
"Ignite the plasma.... that's exactly what they were trying to do!"
The Enterprise D has had 4 official, and 1 fake, First Officer. Name all 5.
Again, off of the top of my head I'll say;
Riker: EaF to AGT except;
Shelby: BoBW
Data: Gambit (also Peak Performance during the battle simulation)
Worf: Gambit
McDuff: Conundrum
Appointed Number One
Marissa: Disaster
How'd I do?
Pretty sure you're right. Although Data was also promoted during Chain Of Command
Great you got them all. I don't recall Data actually becoming the First Officer in Gambit though (the way top officers were being taken I expected Ensign Nobody, Chief Toilet Scrubber to be in command had it been a 3 part episode), just in Chain of Command. In Peak Performance, I'm not sure it was an actual promotion.
But you got the characters and that's all I asked for.
Your turn.
Ah, Chain of Command. Blew right by that one. Like I said, it was off of the top of my head. In Gambit, the only Field Promotion that was on screen was Riker's. However bits of dialog throughout hint to Data's, and then solidify Worf's Field Promotions.
Name the Captain of the ill-fated Yamato.
Donald Varley.
Name 2 games besides poker being played or mentioned in any of the episodes.
Pareses squares
List at least four primary or recurring characters who were also musicians.
Do you mean musicians in real life?
No. Musicians as in, we've seen the characters playing musical instruments.
Picard, Riker, Data, Q
They are all I can think of.
Am I right?
Think so. Your question, I believe.
Yep! Also acceptable: O'Brien, Keiko, Mr. Homn.
Next question?
Separate names with a comma.
