be wholly against the roosevelt faction it is assumed that the report will uphold in every particular the ac tion of the national steam roller it is assumed that the credentials committee will seat every dele gate that the national committee seated last-week roosevelt will demand a vote immediately on that report and he will demand that the con tested delegates be prevented from voting on the credentials committee report holding that to per mit contested delegates to vote would be to let them act as jury in the cases in which they arti defendants seventy-five of the contests have-been picked out as being especially meritorious they are cases in which the seating of the tafl delegates was in the opinion of the roosevelt men particu larly outra-geous the center of fire will be directed against these seventy-rive roosevelt programme carefully planned roosevelt and his managers have anticipated every step in the right they know what they will do at every stage of the battle no matter which way the wind blows they hope that they will be able to prevent the contested delegates from voting on their own cases failing to do that this will be the next step in the battle the roosevelt forces will undertake aided by the constant weakening of the tai't lines to unseat the steam roller delegates in spite of the vote of these same delegates they will carry their right to the floor of the convention resisting every move of the enemy struggling for every possible inch of advantage seeking to win one delegate here another there until they force themselves into control of the situation suppose you are beaten at every angle of the game in the right on the credentials com mittee report \\ hat will you do then the question was put to a dozen roosevelt leaders by a hundred interested people last nightk and the answer was invariably the same : we'll keep on fighting this battle is not going to be finished until it is finished right w have the right on our side and 1 believe that we shall have the votes on our side before the end comes ■• • ', many even of the most sanguine of the roosevelt supporters do not profess to be convinced : that they can win the battle to-day it is generally conceded that it will be an inch-by-inch flghtf possibly with many defeats in the preliminaries up to the very moment of the nomination but one thing is certain and no roosevei man denies it the roosevelt forces do not pro pose to take part in any actual voting that shall result in the nomimrtion of Taft t will carry fight to nominating session thursday if the roosevelt forces are beaten twice to-day on the credentials committee report they will ca r ry their fight to the nominating session on thursday and in that session the fine political hand of theodore roosevelt will be exercised with all the igor and all the finesse for which it is celebrated the situation will be delicate as a watch springs and the problem will be to recognize the difference between the moment when a little more fighting may tur/i the day and the moment when a bolt will become a political necessity a roll call will be started on the nomination itself before that roll call has been half finished one of two things will be made clear — either that the roosevelt people still have a fighting chance or that the steam roller of the national committee has been appropriated to the uses of the convention itself if it is apparent that the roosevelt people have a fighting chance they will stick and fight if it is apparent that they are hopelessly beaten that roll call will never be finished with roosevelt delegates in the hall the colonel himself will be watching every move either in person or through the eyes of his lieutenants the signal for the bolt will come first from roosevelt it will be conveyed from him to his delegates by his floor leaders and at the signal there will be simultaneous uprising and somewhere near half the seats of delegates at the coliseum will be vacated colonelcomes from conference smiling and confident theodore roosevelt spent four hours in his private rooms of the congress hotel with all of his leaders last night and ever detail of the day's programme was gone over again and again every possible turn of affairs was calculated in advance and every move was mapped out the possible combinations on the chess board of politics were studied by masters of ti:e game and when it was all over theodore roosevelt emerged smiling from the conference with the air of the player who thinks he can look just a move or two farther into the intricacies of the future than his opponent can after the conference the colonel himself addressed briefly a gathering of his followers in the florentine room we are in the fight and it is ours he declared in his ringing battle voice there is confu sion in the camp of the enemy and there is nothing but order and the consciousness of power in ours i am encouraged rather than the opposite by the

First Visit to Busch Stadium
Busch Stadium is a picturesque Major League Baseball stadium set against the backdrop of the beautiful skyline of the city of St. Louis, Missouri. The Cardinals have played many amazing game at their home ballpark, often in front of 47,000 screaming fans that make ballgame an unforgettable event. If you are headed for a first visit to Busch Stadium, read some information about the Cardinals stadium that will allow you to get the most of your initial visit.
When Do the Gates Open?
Generally, Busch Stadium gates open up two hours before game time. It might be a good idea to go early if you want to tour the stadium, go to the team store, or watch the Cardinals take batting practice. Going early will also obviously allow you to beat the rush that occurs just before game time. Please note that gate opening times may be altered on a few rare occasions, according to the wishes of stadium management.
Shop At the Cardinals Team Store
What better place to pick up a St. Louis Cardinals souvenir item than at the official team store inside Busch Stadium between gates 3 and 4. The store briefly closes for about 40 minutes before game time to prepare for the crush of fans that enter just after first pitch. All fans are able to shop at the store up until 40 minutes before game time, throughout the game, and for a short while after the end of the game as well.
Take Your Family to the U.S. Cellular Family Pavilion
If you are taking your family along for the ball game at Busch Stadium, the kids will have a jolly good time at the Family Pavilion that can be found between gate number 5 and 6. The Busch Stadium Family Pavilion is sponsored by U.S. Cellular and the entire area opens up as soon as the gates open and remain accessible for 1.5 hours after the ball game begins. Main attractions in the pavilion are batting cages, speed pitch cages, T-ball for kids, a large soft play area for the tiny toddlers and a general seating area that can accommodate up to 100 people at a time.
Food at Busch Stadium
Busch Stadium has an excellent mix of both concession stand food as well as specialty food outlets that can provide you with upscale food as well. Hot dogs, nachos, pizza, peanuts, beer, ice cream, soda and the other usual baseball park food can be easily found in one of the hundreds of concession stands that are uniformly located around the ballpark. There is also a farmer's market and a gluten free concession stall if you are really into healthy food choices. The Cardinals have a rotating menu of diverse food items inside the club and suites for more discriminating fans.
Parking at Busch Stadium
You will be able to buy your parking pass online at the Busch Stadium website or through the Cardinals ticket office. Parking is available at either Stadium East or Stadium West entrances.
Both locations offer multi-level parking which means that there is only a very slim chance that you will end up without a parking spot.
Make Your Own Fredbird Mascot
Take your kids to this nice little stall that you will find between gate number 2 and 3 inside Busch Stadium. You will be able to customize and design your own version of Fredbird, the lovable mascot of the St. Louis Cardinals.
See the Busch Stadium seating chart or general information about the Cardinals seating chart.

Beauty Blooper: Yellow Nails Left Me Feeling Anything But Mellow
A few years ago I was en route to my new boyfriend's house for a dinner date when I noticed that my red nail polish was beginning to chip. I knew that it would soon become an unsightly disaster, so I decided to avoid any future embarrassment by purchasing some nail polish remover before my arrival. I'm not sure why I had to be so dramatic about the whole thing, but I stopped in to use the bathroom at a restaurant around the corner to clean things up.
Unfortunately, what I uncovered was far worse than chipped nails. A week earlier, I had been on a tropical vacation, and apparently the mixture of sun, SPF and polish had turned my nail beds an unnatural shade of yellow. My nails were the jaundiced shade of a longtime smoker's teeth, and all night long I did my best to keep them hidden. It took about a month for the color to return to normal, so I only wish that I had done something to prevent this whole mess when I was on vacation.
Lesson learned: Be sure to use a good base coat when wearing red nail polish, and always protect your nails when you are going to have excessive exposure in the sun. Try a product like Orly Sunscreen For Nails which is a topcoat that contains SPF, or if it's too late and you need to reverse the damage, Yello-Out Clear Acrylic Top Coat ($7) should do the trick.

" Brand: Kids II "
* Prices may differ from that shown
My son was bought this ball as a present when he was about six months old. At that point, he didn't really have a lot of toys, and even fewer that were bought for him rather than hand me downs!
The ball itself is just the right size for little hands, and not too squishy. It's malleable enough to be interesting in texture, but if baby really wants to roll or throw it, it holds its form. There is a hard caterpillar around the centre, and this can make the roll not completely a straight line, but it also helps keep the ball spherical. Being a mesh, with large holes, the ball is very easy to pick up and hold, and equally easy to use for a beginner user.
The colours are bright and cheerful, and the caterpillar's smile always gets an answer, and there's no noise to detract from the play.
Five months later, my son finds it easier to roll where he wants it to go, and he can throw and catch it, which is great at eleven months old! This toy has been very educational for him, and he loves it.
I bought this toy for my 6 month old son from Tesco for around £4. I got it when he was 4 months old and just starting to grab things and learn to hold on to them. I notices this one as the ball has lots of holes in it, so I thought it would be easy for my baby to put his little fingers in the holes and help him hold it.
This ball is about the size of two tennis balls, but a perfect size for a baby to hold. It is lightweight and not too hard, if your baby hits themselves in the head with it, like mine always does with his toys when he is waving them about. Quite a few of them have hit his head hard and he gets really upset, but this one is not hard enough for him to hurt himself, but a good quality, and it still feels sturdy. It is made of plastic, and I don't think it would be broken easily by a baby, it feels well made and strong.
The outside has a caterpillar going round the middle of the ball, and inside is a ball with a bell in it, so it makes lots of noise when it is shaken. My baby loves waving this about and rarely drops it now due to it being so easy for his fingers to grasp it. He loves to chew on it too, and its nice and easy to just wipe clean. My baby gets really excited when I wave this ball above him, he reaches both arms out to try and grab it, it's definitely one of his favourite toys, it's so simple but keeps him amused every day! He spends ages just feeling the ball, and turning it round in his hands and looking at it.
This ball is nice and colourful for young babies to look at and attract their attention, and I am sure this toy would be good for older babies too, for example, rolling the ball around, crawling after it.
The only criticism I have about this ball, which does not matter at all really, but it is suppose to be a bendy ball, and this toy is definitely not bendy in the slightest. The plastic is hard, not soft enough to bend, although I don't know why you would want to bend this ball, my baby just seems happy to play with it as it is.
I would highly recommend this ball for younger babies, it is small enough for them to handle, the holes make it so easy for them to grasp, it isn't too heavy, makes noise which babies love, its bright and colourful and will keep your baby amused for a while! My baby loves it!
This is yet another toy that we first had for our little girl and now I have passed to my little boy. It was a gift and to be honest it's not something I would ahve bought for my kids and its not one that my little boy plays with all the time but he does like it and you can see his little mind working in the way it is meant to when he is playing with it.
This is not just a regular ball to thrown or roll around, its a ball with lots of different aspects to it. According tot he manufacturer, ""Colourful and flexible, this 4"-diameter ball inspires interest, stimulates the senses and fosters beginning social interaction. The visual appeal combined with the auditory input from the concealed rattle encourages children to pick up the ball and explore the brightly coloured sections. In addition, the easy-to-grasp design allows children to lace their fingers through the holes or hold it with two hands. The Bendy Ball provides an entertaining way to motivate continued play and learning."
The ball has a plastic band which runs around the whole middle of the ball. This is made of hard plastic and has a cute little caterpillar face on it as well as lots of different coloured plastic circles to make up the body of the caterpillar. In fact, the whole ball is very colourful and includes yellow, blue, purple, red green and orange. In terms of being bright and colourful and appealing to little eyes this ball definitely ticks all those boxes. Either side of the band there is a bendy web/netting to make up the shape of the ball. One side is red and one side is blue and you can squish this and move it as its very flexible and the spaces it in make it very easy for little hands to pick it up. I often see my little boy with his fingers intertwined in this netting and often find him trying to poke another toy through the holes too.
There is a ball inside as well as I think he is also trying to get to the ball inside and you can see his mind working, trying to figure out how to get to the middle. Well, the ball in the middle does not come out but what it does do is provide some noise as it has a little chime/rattle in it so when you pick up and move this ball it will shake and make a really fun noise for a baby.
I think the only thing I don't like about this ball is that because of the plastic band around the middle and the soft sides this doesn't roll like a proper ball would do, you can't really roll it and if you try to it just stops on its side because it is not perfectly round but as it has other learning aspects I would call it more of a toy than a ball.
I have a photographs of my kids playing with this if you wish to see it up close and in use. I can probably see my little boy playing with it for a few more months so I would recommend for about up to 18 months. As it was a gift I obviously didn't buy it but a quick search on Amazon shows one on sale for £3.99 which I think is a fair price.
**The ball**
While I was looking for toys for my little boy who was only 7 months old, I came across this little Einstein's ball on Amazon. I decided to order it, and I am so glad that I have as it has been hugely loved by my two youngest children. It is a simple soft plastic ball. The difference from other rattle we own is the design of it. The whole ball has hexagon shaped holes cut out of the main body of it. This means even small babies can grab at the ball with ease, as no matter where they hold the ball there fingers can tighten around the frame of the ball. The ball is made up of many bright colours making it appealing too even the smallest of children. It's easy to hold design, and the small rattle inside the ball that jingles every time the ball is slightly moved make it very appealing. All of these factors make it perfect for small babies just learning to use their hands. As the child gets older they will find the soft plastic of the ball bends between their fingers. This is great for little hands that are learning about different textures, and what they can do with their new found freedom of using their hands. The ball is very engaging with its bright prime colours attracting little ones attention straight away.
**In use**
My little girl is currently using this toy and she loves it as much as my son did. She is only four months old, but she can hold it very easily. It is very light so she can even grab it with just one finger, and as it is not too heavy it will not hurt when little one manages to catch their face with it. We have found this is the only toy she can actually play with independently at this age, and for that reason it is a fantastic first toy. My daughter is starting to put everything to her mouth. As she is still learning what her little hands can do this means sometimes she brings it far too quickly to her face. The soft plastic does not hurt her at all, and she actually just giggles even though I was terrified she may hurt herself. It is of course designed for smaller hands meaning there is nothing that can hurt her at all as it is all rounded.
There is a friendly little caterpillar face pictured on the ball, and of course it acts as a rattle so little one is rewarded with the sounds of a bell as they learn to move it around. My daughter really does love this toy, she thinks it is fantastic and of she manages to knock it out of reach she tries to sit up to move towards it. Her little face lights up whenever she sees it, and she never seems to become bored with it. I was a little confused about the bendy description as when it first arrived I found it rather robust. On closer inspection I found it did bend under a fair amount of pressure but it was not until my son was older he was able to do this.
As the child grows a little and is beginning to learn to crawl, again this ball can be used to encourage them. By dropping the ball it rolls across the floor creating a jingle sound. This encourages little one to move towards the noise, and the bright colours visually invite little one to follow. We found this ball was better than the lights, and sounds ball we owned despite being much simpler. I was a little worried that maybe it may be a little heavy for younger children. I was unable to find an age recommendation for this toy so I guessed that it would be ok for my seven month old baby, and my daughter is happy playing with it at a much younger age. I found not only was it fine for my young baby, but it actually grows with little one as they develop and learn fine motor skills.
My children never seem to become bored with this ball. Although it is very simple, they find different ways to play with it so it adapts well. It is very durable lasting two children so far with no signs of wear and tear at all. I like to drop this in with some sterilising tablets every now and then as my little girl does put it to her mouth, and it is very easy to clean. My only downside is the packaging that comes with the toy. It is very minimal with hardly any information at all, and the plastic pieces that attach it to the small cardboard hanger are very difficult to get off. We needed to cut it off with scissors and I am not sure why toy manufacturers make it so difficult to remove packaging.
I would highly recommend this toy to for anyone that has a young child. It is very simple, but the bright colours and rewarding sounds make it perfect for young children. It helps develop find motor skills, and really is a fantastic engaging toy that is very simple. It is very durable as my son used it from when he was seven months old right up until now. He still enjoys rolling it around although he does become a little bored with it after five minutes. Now my youngest daughter plays with this toy, and at such a young age it is the only one she can actually grab on to. I have only ever come across this on the Amazon website, and we paid around £5 for it. I believe this is a fantastic price for such a well loved toy, and would highly recommend it to anyone.

Unemployment measures all people who meet the internationally agreed definition of unemployment. It is different from the claimant count, which measures only those people who are claiming unemployment-related benefits (Jobseeker's Allowance). The number of unemployed people in the UK is substantially higher than the claimant count. Not everyone who is unemployed is eligible for, or claims, Jobseeker's Allowance (JSA). Many unemployed people (especially women) are not eligible for JSA because they have a partner who is in work and/or because of their financial position. While most recipients of JSA would be classified as unemployed, some would fall into the "employed" or "economically inactive" categories.
Unemployment is measured using the Labour Force Survey and estimates are published for three month rolling average time periods. These are published once a month, moving the three month reference period forward by a month each time.
The definition of unemployment in the UK is consistent with the internationally agreed definition recommended by the International Labour Organisation (ILO) at the 13th International Conference of Labour Statisticians in October 1982.
Unemployed people in the UK are:
without a job, have actively sought work in the last four weeks and are available to start work in the next two weeks or;
out of work, have found a job and are waiting to start it in the next two weeks
Not all people out of work are classified as unemployed. Those who have not actively sought work in the last four weeks and/or are not available to start work in the next two weeks are classified as economically inactive, rather than unemployed, in accordance with ILO guidelines.
The claimant count measures the number of people claiming unemployment-related benefits; since October 1996 this has been the number of people claiming Jobseeker's Allowance (JSA).
People who are out of work or working less than 16 hours a week on average may be eligible to claim JSA if they are:
capable of working
available for work
actively seeking work
below state pension age
Further information on eligibility for JSA is available on the DirectGov website.
The changes in the headline unemployment and claimant count estimates published in the Labour Market Statistical Bulletin are not directly comparable because:
Unemployment estimates are averages for three-monthly time periods and the headline change is the change since the previous non-overlapping three-monthly time period. For example, estimates for April-June are compared with estimates for January-March rather than for March-May.
The claimant count is a count of the number of people claiming Jobseeker's Allowance (JSA) on a particular day of the month and the headline change is the change since the previous month. It is more up to date than unemployment as it is derived from administrative data which can be collated quicker than survey data.
Unemployment estimates include 16-17 year olds whereas the headline claimant count estimates do not include people below 18 years of age. 16-17 year olds are not usually able to claim JSA.
There is no upper age limit on unemployment but people above state pension age are not usually eligible to claim JSA.
When the two series are compared for the same time periods (three-monthly averages), and for the same age groups (people aged 18 to 64), the movements in the two series over the latest quarter are almost identical. For this age group, between February-April and May-July 2011, unemployment increased by 77,000 and the claimant count increased by 68,000 resulting in a difference of only 9,000. The chart below, and the associated spreadsheet, compares quarterly changes in unemployment and the claimant count for people aged from 18 to 64 for the last two years.

Deborah A. Garza, Chair
Antitrust Modernization Commission
1120 G Street N.W., Suite 810
Washington, D.C. 20005
Dear Ms. Garza:
On September 20, 2006, the Antitrust Modernization Commission asked the Federal Maritime Commission to identify the benefits and costs of the antitrust immunity in the Shipping Act, to assess the overall commercial impact of that immunity, and to recommend whether the existing immunity should be retained, modified, or repealed. As a member of the Federal Maritime Commission, I disagree with the position taken by the majority of the Commission. I would like to answer the questions posed to the FMC and to explain my reasoning briefly.
In my view, Congress should repeal antitrust immunity with respect to rate-setting and rate discussions by ocean common carriers. Information exchange and space-sharing among ocean common carriers should be retained, however, to the extent that such agreements are aimed at enhancing efficiency. Congress should also retain the limited antitrust immunity given to marine terminal operators under the Shipping Act.
I agree with the legislative recommendations made by the administrations of both President George W. Bush and President William J. Clinton. Numerous antitrust authorities that have considered this issue, including the Department of Justice=s Antitrust Division, the American Bar Association=s Section of Antitrust Law, and the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), have concluded that ending price-fixing in ocean shipping is the best economic policy. In addition, the European Commission has repealed the exemption for carrier price-fixing and joint capacity regulation and has pledged to take appropriate steps to advance the removal of that immunity worldwide. The repeal in Europe will take effect in 2008.
I begin from the standpoint that an exemption from the normal standards of business competition requires continual proof of its necessity. Ocean common carriers have not met this burden. On the contrary, antitrust immunity has arguably kept shipping rates higher. I believe this occurs when discussion agreements set up rate structures (e.g, service-contract guidelines, general rate increases, and peak-season surcharges) and the carrier members use those structures as the starting point of service-contract negotiations with shippers. It stands to reason that artificially high shipping rates have been the result and that shippers have passed this extra cost on to the American consumer.
Also troubling is the fact that the current exemption allows foreign carriers to fix the prices charged to American shippers. Although designed to protect American businesses and consumers, the Shipping Act=s antitrust immunity has been enjoyed by foreign-owned ocean carriers almost exclusively, at least since the mergers of 1999 that nearly eliminated the U.S.-flag oceangoing fleet. I do not believe that Congress intended the antitrust immunity in the Shipping Act to be used as economic protection for foreign-owned carriers.
The ocean common carriers themselves maintain that the rates of today are overwhelmingly determined by supply and demand and not by the voluntary rate guidelines agreed upon by carriers. The predominance of individually-negotiated, confidential service contracts for the last six years has been a remarkable commercial success, they maintain. If true, rate-setting and rate discussions among ocean common carriers are indeed an anachronism that Congress should repeal as part of antitrust modernization.
The Shipping Act should retain, however, an antitrust exemption that allows space-sharing agreements and other operational agreements of carriers aimed at efficiency only. The antitrust exemption for marine terminal operators should also be maintained, on the basis that such agreements may alleviate port congestion, reduce air pollution, or enhance port security. One example is the off-peak-hours program created pursuant to a discussion agreement of marine terminal operators at the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach.
In summary, it is my assessment that Congress should repeal antitrust immunity with respect to rate-setting and rate discussions by ocean common carriers. The exemption is unnecessary and in all likelihood harmful. Should such a change in the law prove not to benefit American shippers and consumers, Congress could always reinstitute the immunity at a later date.
Thank you for requesting testimony from the Commission on this issue. You may consider this letter a public comment on the Aimmunities and exemptions@ issue that the Antitrust Modernization Commission has selected for study.

Q. I'd like to know if the Coldplay studios (Beehive and Bakery) are only used for recording or for mixing also? I love the sound of the band! Thanks in advance!
The Oracle replies:
With MX a lot of the mixing took place at their studios as they went along but when the album was finished, its final mix took place in New York as their favoured mixer Michael Brauer works from there - though Spike Stent also mixed MX.

Maddon no fan of day-night doubleheader
By David Wilson / MLB.com
BALTIMORE -- Rays manager Joe Maddon hasn't been shy about his thoughts about Friday's split doubleheader that required his team to be at Camden Yards early in the morning without a chance to leave until close to midnight.
"I'm not a big fan. I think it's too long of a day for everybody involved," he said. "I know there's a money component, whatever, but if you're going to play a doubleheader, play them one after the other."
But a day like Friday, with a day and night game, isn't the longest possible in baseball.
"Let's play three," Maddon said, his voice dripping with sarcasm.
Almost 35 years ago, when Maddon was a member of the 1980 Boulder Collegians of the National Baseball Congress, the Tampa Bay manager did.
The Collegians were scheduled to play three consecutive days of doubleheaders in Sturgis, S.D., when one of the first two days of games -- Maddon can't remember which -- was rained out.
"I thought they were going to play two doubleheaders," Maddon said.
Instead, general manager Bauldie Moschetti set up a tripleheader.
After making the drive from Boulder, Colo., to Sturgis in Moschetti's 1965 Pontiac with a bad muffler, it was time for three straight seven-inning games.
"By the time I got there, I thought we all got poisoned," Maddon said. "I had the worst headache of my life."
Maddon can't remember if he played at all in the first two games, but he knows he caught the third, and it was a busy day nonetheless. Maddon was a player-coach for Boulder that particular season.
"I caught the last game of the tripleheader," Maddon said. "We won all three games on that particular day."
Hellickson's rehab likely still on track despite early exit
BALTIMORE -- Jeremy Hellickson's rehab hit a slight bump on Friday, but it doesn't seem like it will be enough to knock it off course.
The recovering starting pitcher threw 55 pitches in three innings for Triple-A Durham before being pulled with right elbow discomfort
"From what I understand, it was maybe an over-cautious kind of a situation just based on what had happened with him -- the surgery, et cetera," Rays manager Joe Maddon said. "Right now, I'm not getting any kind of highly negative reports."
The righty had arthroscopic elbow surgery in February and has not pitched in the Majors this season. He has struggled for Durham -- posting a 9.00 ERA in four starts -- but Friday was looking like one of his most promising outings. He eventually took the loss to fall to 0-4, but he allowed just one run in his three innings of work. The Bulls fell to to Indianapolis, 7-2.
Hellickson allowed five hits, one walk and struck out one batter before leaving the game. Tampa Bay doesn't anticipate that this will derail Hellickson's rehab schedule.
Three-double game extra special for Guyer
BALTIMORE -- Brandon Guyer has always felt more comfortable when playing close to home at Oriole Park at Camden Yards. But the three-double day for the Northern Virginia native was made even more special by the faces in the crowd during the Rays' 5-2 win against the Orioles in Game 1 of their doubleheader on Friday.
Of course he had friends and family there -- including his wife Lindsay Murphy, a reporter for WTTG in Washington -- but also Mathias Giordano, a 12-year-old cancer patient and Maryland native, who had to have his right leg amputated as part of his treatment.
"Lindsay was the speaker at a charity event [last year] and I went with her," Guyer said.
That's where he met Giordano. The outfielder tried to get Giordano out to a game last time Tampa Bay made the trip to Baltimore, but he was unable to go.
On Friday, Guyer gave his young friend a bat signed by the entire team and even promised him a hit. Instead, he delivered with three doubles and a once-in-a-lifetime experience for Giordano.
"We made a point of it to invite him today or sometime this weekend," Guyer said. "I'm glad it worked out."
Escobar rests Game 1, available for nightcap
BALTIMORE -- Rays shortstop Yunel Escobar wasn't available for Game 1 of Friday's split doubleheader, in which the Rays won, 5-2, and was out of the starting lineup for Game 2, but he was available as a pinch-hitter.
Escobar hasn't played since Tuesday as he deals with soreness in his right shoulder.
"He wanted to come out and play catch and see where it was at," Rays manager Joe Maddon said before the opener. "He just did not feel quite normal."
After Escobar played catch -- which he was doing as Maddon addressed the media in the dugout Friday morning -- he was going to be re-evaluated for a potential return later in the day.
The shortstop left Tuesday's loss to the Pirates for a pinch-hitter in the eighth inning after tweaking his shoulder on a throw to first base, Maddon said.
Even if Escobar doesn't return for the nightcap, Maddon doesn't anticipate a stint on the disabled list being necessary. Maddon expects Escobar to see time in the field at some point during the weekend series with the O's.
"I'm not feeling that right now from the conversation," he said.
Otherwise, the manager said, the team is rested and healthy for the two games Friday. Thursday's off-day gave the bullpen time to rest, and catcher Ryan Hanigan, who was nursing a stiff neck, is scheduled to start the night game.
Worth noting
• The Rays will hit the midpoint of their season after the first game of Friday's doubleheader. It will be Tampa Bay's worst first half since going 33-48 in 2007.
• The Rays might set the June strikeouts record Friday. The club entered the day with 243 for the month. The Major League record for June is 253. The Rays entered Friday 43 away from the record for any month, set by the Cubs with 286 in 2002.

MORE ROUNDTABLES: Feb. 5
Rivals.com football recruiting analysts weigh in on topics in a roundtable format.
What program is off to an impressive start for the 2013 class in your opinion?
Mike Farrell: I would say Ohio StateClick Here to view this Link. and AlabamaClick Here to view this Link., both have three of the top 45 prospects in the country already committed and are off to an incredible start. Alabama looks like a very good bet to win yet another recruiting title even though we are 11 months from National Signing Day and Ohio State is reaching new heights with Urban MeyerClick Here to view this Link..
Adam Gorney: Alabama has one five-star commit and six four-stars but I'm going with Ohio State here because first-year coach Urban Meyer has changed the culture there. It's really no surprise because Meyer has been a fantastic recruiter in his coaching career but he's landing some heavyweights before even coaching a game in Columbus. The Buckeyes have landed three of the top players in the state of Ohio including five-star defensive back Cameron Burrows already and added four-star standout Eli Woodard out of New Jersey in recent days. The rest of the Big Ten better buck up because Meyer isn't going to stop anytime soon.
Josh Helmholdt: Urban Meyer has taken the momentum he generated with the 2012 class and carried it right over to 2013, grabbing commitments from four of the top 130 prospects in the country and three of the top 41, including five-star cornerback Cameron Burrows. So far he is using the plan that has made Ohio State a recruiting success for much of the past decade - dominate in-state recruiting and cherry pick some of the best prospects nationally.
Chris Nee: Alabama is doing what a team coming off a national championship should do. It is hand-picking the prospects it wants and locking up a stellar class early on. Linebacker Reuben Foster is the crown jewel of the class but not a single commitment is a guy that you wouldn't expect to be a major contributor down the road. Also, the Crimson Tide went out of state to get top players from Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, and Arkansas already.
Keith Niebuhr: This one is easy. It's Alabama. The Tide already have seven commits and each is in the Rivals250. That's just unreal. But at this point it probably should be expected. A couple others that have done real well that stand out are LSU and Texas A&M.
Brian Perroni: It is hard not to go with Alabama. The Crimson Tide already have seven early commitments, all of which are in the Rivals250. Getting a player such as Raheem Falkins out of LSU's backyard is huge and Altee Tenpenny has a chance to challenge as the top back in the country if he can come back healthy next year.
What's been the most common theme among the comments you've heard since the 2013 rankings were released last week?
Mike Farrell: Is this the best year for quarterbacks in a long time? I get that question a lot and while it's still early I think it could be. We have more in the Rivlas250 than I can remember and a lot of them have a chance to finish in the top 100. Last year we had two five-star quarterbacks and this year we already have two in February, so I think this could be a very strong year.
Adam Gorney: It's interesting because there is a chance the Nos. 1 and 2 players in the country could end up at Alabama even though they're both from Georgia. LaGrange (Ga.) Troup linebacker Reuben Foster is already committed to the Crimson Tide and Alabama is after the nation's No. 1 player, Loganville (Ga.) Grayson defensive end Robert Nkemdiche. What will also be interesting to see is if Nkemdiche and Foster stay in those first two slots. There will be many top prospects pushing them and just because they're ranked so high early on doesn't guarantee anything by next National Signing Day.
Josh Helmholdt: Everyone is impressed with the depth of talent in the Midwest for 2012. After a couple lean years in the region, including a 2012 class that finished with just seven prospects ranked among the top 100, the Midwest is back in 2013 boasting elite, national talent and depth of talent. The state of Ohio has 20 prospects already rated four-stars and the states of Illinois and Indiana both made strong debuts in the initial Rivals250 release. Also watch out for Wisconsin and Iowa. The states only have two four-stars between them now, but both have better than average classes emerging and could feature more by the time the final rankings are released.
Chris Nee: I've been asked a lot about the depth of the 2013 running back class coming out of the Sunshine State. It is a group easily capable of producing BCS-level running backs into the teens. The top of the group is stellar led by prospects such as Greg Bryant, Ryan Green, Kelvin Taylor, Alex Collins, A.J. Turman and Tarean Folston. Then outside the 250 you have Fred Coppet, Jamari Smith, Adam Lane, Lorenzo Woodley, Daryl Chestnut, Marcus Levy and Matt Dayes, who will have a number of major offers. That list is just the start. That isn't including Derrick Henry, who is considered an athlete by Rivals, but says he fully intends to remain a running back in college.
Keith Niebuhr: There has been a ton of debate about the running backs, and who belongs where. This class is loaded at that position, and everyone has an opinion on where their favorite should be ranked. The spring evaluation period will be the first big step to sorting it all out.
Brian Perroni: It seems the state of Louisiana is a lot stronger this year than in the class of 2012. There are only two prospects from the Pelican State in the Rivals100, although there are likely to be more next time around. In addition, two other players from the state earned four-star status outside the Rivals250.
Mike Farrell: That's always tough to predict because it's essentially trying to predict the future and how some of these guys will do at upcoming camps. Caleb BrantleyClick Who do you envision making the biggest move up the rankings by the next time they are released?Here to view this Link., the FloridaClick Who do you envision making the biggest move up the rankings by the next time they are released?Here to view this Link. commitment, could be a guy who is a bit undervalued right now so we'll see about him. John MontelusClick Who do you envision making the biggest move up the rankings by the next time they are released?Here to view this Link. from Massachusetts could blow up - he's underrecruited because he's in New England but people are starting to hear about him.
Adam Gorney: I could see Rancho Cucamonga (Calif.) safety Tahaan Goodman making a decent move up the rankings. I saw him at a recent B2G Sports workout and he was definitely impressive flying all over the field and making plays. I also saw him perform a 360-dunk prior to the workout and there's no question about his athleticism. Take a look at his tape. Goodman is a hard-hitting, fierce safety who covers a lot of ground. The offers are starting to pile up, too.
Josh Helmholdt: Indianapolis (Ind.) North Central two-way lineman Darius Latham was one of our four-stars outside the 250 released on Thursday, but watch for him this spring and summer. The 6-5, 280-pounder could legitimately play either side of the ball, and because he plays basketball in the off-season, he has not gotten the work other linemen have in his class. He has huge upside, and we'll see how he progresses throughout the spring and summer.
Chris Nee: A couple of guys along the defensive front in Florida - defensive ends Stacy Thomas and De'Asian Richardson - have a real shot of making a big move into the Rivals 250 and maybe higher. Their previous evaluations were based on limited film and since the initial meetings they have been reviewed further. Thomas was an initial four-star outside the Rivals250 while Richardson was not ranked in the first release.
Keith Niebuhr: I'm going to say Hunter Bivin, the 6-foot-7, 288-pound offensive tackle from Kentucky. I got his film a little late, so he's starting off as a four-star outside of the Rivals250 but I think he has great ability and the potential to see a nice jump at some point.
Brian Perroni: I have loved what I have seen from Baton Rouge (La.) University defensive end Tim Williams. He is incredibly quick off the ball and sheds blocks well too. I'd like to see him in person and if he is a legitimate 6-3, then he can make a case for being the top prospect in the state.

Can anybody remember the last time the Knicks were a contender EVERY YEAR?? It was when Van Gundy was the head coach of this team and he continued were Riley left off and keep the Knicks a beast in the east.You know why?? B/c he was a winner, PREACHED DEFENSE and made the Knicks teams a team that everybody in the NBA hated to play b/c they all knew it was'nt going to be a easy game againist the Knicks.
Van Gundy cared for this organzation,fans,and exspecially his players.Anybody that would run out on the floor when they were a fight and grab a hold of the other player's leg just to stop a fight and pertect his players is a coach that I want coaching this team again.He loved his players and brung the whole Knicks team as one big family.All of this that I just posted is exactly what the organzation,fans,players is missing and I really would like to see Van Gundy on the side line coaching the Knicks again.Those was the good old days and I would like to see the good old days come back.

looks like BC's sly dealings backfired.
If Nash wants to go to Knicks we should let him go. No point forcing a player to sign for us when he is clearly not interested.
So if Nash spurns the Raptors after they went after him full steam and had a lot of his fans worked up, what does that do to his public image in Canada?
im so bummed out
The only player Phoenix would consider taking back in a S & T with NY for Nash is Shumpert. All the other guys they have are just complete bench fodder (10-15th man guys) who have VERY limited upside (Harrellson, Gadzuric, Douglas, Jerome Jordan). Can't see Phoenix wanting those guys. Also, Nash would also leave quite a bit of money on the table as well - as much as 3-4 million per season.
Why cant we sign and trade as well? Im sure we can offer way more than Shumpert!
I feel like we're being friend-zoned by Nash.
You gotta think the Raps have more to offer in a S & T than the NY.
I want to chalk this one up to Nash's loyalty and not wanting to leave PHX high and dry after he leaves. Raise the statue already!
Unless they bring in a third team interested in clearing cap. On the flip side though Sarver wasn't happy with Colangelo when he left if my memory is correct and so who knows maybe he does it just to kick dirt in Colangelo's face.
He wants to play for New York, not Toronto. If this is true it's a swift kick to the you know what for Raptors fans everywhere.
And why would we throw assets at Orlando to get Dwight Howard when he'd leave at the end of the season? How much sense does that make?
could it be possible for the Knicks to S&T Lin to Phx for nash???
one thing though, considering the relationship Nash has with Colangelo and Triano, don't you think he'd give them a heads up that he wasn't going to sign rather than waste our time?

An excerpt from www.HouseOfNames.com archives copyright © 2000 - 2018
hereditary surnames was not complete until the modern era, but the use of hereditary family names in Italy began in the 10th and 11th centuries. Italian hereditary surnames were developed according to fairly general principles and they are characterized by a profusion of derivatives coined from given names. Although the most traditional type of family name found in the region of the Papal States is the patronymic surname, which is derived from the father's given name, local surnames are also found. Local names, which are the least frequent of the major types of surnames found in Italy, are derived from a place-name where the original bearer once resided or held land. Often Italian local surnames bore the prefix "di," which signifies emigration from one place to another, but does not necessarily denote nobility. The Biasotti family lived in the city of Benevento, which lies east of Naples. Earliest records date back to the 14th century, when the Blasio family branched from this town to Bari, Catanzaro, and Reggio di Calabria.

Have you ever had a really bad haircut? Pink feels your pain. The singer took to Twitter over the weekend to express her disdain for her new do, which she debuted at the Lincoln Lawyer premiere in Los Angeles Thursday night. "The woman that did my hair butchered it," she told followers Saturday. "I hate it." Apparently some people in cyberspace did, too; the mom-to-be added, "thanks for pointing out how much you all hate it, too. helpful." After posting her semi-sad message, the singer received an outpouring of support from fans, who told her she looked gorgeous. And husband Carey Hart came to the rescue, as well; Sunday morning, he treated his lady to French toast in bed, Pink Tweeted. "I love my man," she wrote. Sounds like the perfect bad haircut cure to us! —Kate Hogan


text: Can't wait. So I guess the Writing Team roundtable is where Season 5 ideas will be debated? I've been very happy with these Blu ray sets so far. The turnaround has been quick but certainly hasn't meant the new extra features have been of lesser quality than TNG. The HD quality is a more than acceptable level above DVD, so much so I recently traded in those, with the end now in sight. I held off until I knew for sure ENT wouldn't just stop mid run on the format. I wonder if CBS Digital are gearing up for Deep Space Nine?

I woke up to a sunny Saturday morning, all geared up, ready to explore the streets of Brickfield, together with Rustie. After a quick and light breakfast, we stormed the streets there. All photographs taken with Olympus E-520, with 11-22mm F2.8-3.5, 50mm F2 macro or 40-150mm F3.5-4.5 lens.
Hook in my mouth.
I wash my hands clean.
A hug a day keeps the psychiatrist away.
