''A Historical Turning Point like the Fall of the Berlin Wall''
"The Arab Spring is a historical turning point, comparable to the fall of the Berlin Wall." This was the conclusion reached by the leading German institutes of peace and conflict studies in their analysis of the revolutionary events that have been taking place in North Africa and the Middle East. At the official presentation of the 2011 Peace Report, the researchers called on Europe to provide more support for the new path the Arab world is taking.
Speaking at a press conference in Berlin, Margret Johannsen from the Institute for Peace Research and Security Policy at the University of Hamburg said that the EU bore responsibility for the developments in the Middle East. She went on to say that Europe, among others, was also responsible for the long state of stagnation against which the people were now rebelling.
For years, she explained, the countries of the EU had been aiding and abetting repressive regimes by organising political bartering deals in which autocratic leaders supplied oil and natural gas and took in refugees in return for low-interest loans and weapons.
Johannsen said that the time had now come for the EU to provide the young democracies of North Africa with advice and hands-on assistance. It could, for example, help them to draw up constitutions and to transform their countries into democratic states under the rule of law. Above all, however, the EU would have to open up its agricultural markets within the framework of a new Mediterranean policy in order to create jobs in the countries concerned.
Refugee policy under fire
The EU's policy on refugees came in for some really harsh criticism from the peace researchers. They said that legally, the border control agency Frontex was skating on thin ice in a grey area that was not in line with either international law or the Charter of Human Rights.
Bruno Schoch from the Peace Research Institute Frankfurt explained that fears of floods of refugees from North Africa pouring into Europe were completely irrational in this context. So far, he said, of the hundreds of thousands that had been expected, only 34,000 had actually arrived.
"I suspect that these fears are an expression of the fact that our bogeyman image of Islam has somehow gone astray and we are now projecting the whole thing onto the refugees," he said, adding that this was no way to launch a new Neighbourhood and Mediterranean policy.
The situation in Libya
The researchers were also critical of the situation in Libya. They reported that there was a real threat of a military escalation in this North African country. NATO's military intervention showed that protecting the civilian population and its aim of toppling the regime were two goals that were hard to combine.
At the same time, however, the peace researchers did not explicitly oppose a military intervention. Schoch said that as Ghaddafi had described the rebels as rats and cockroaches that would have to be exterminated, there had been no alternative. Tobias Debiel from the Institute for Development and Peace added that the German Federal Government really ought to have consented to the military intervention for the benefit of the civilian population.
Debiel added that Germany's foreign minister, Guido Westerwelle, had really isolated himself by abstaining at the Security Council debate, deviating from a long German tradition of safeguarding European interests at the UN's highest decision-making body.
Support for the Palestinians
As far as developments in the conflict between Israelis and Palestinians are concerned, the peace researchers are appealing to political leaders in Berlin and Brussels to support the union of the two Palestinian parties, Fatah and Hamas. According to Margret Johannsen, Germany and Europe, like Washington, would do well to recognise a Palestinian state when the autonomy government proclaims it an independent state – as planned – this autumn.
"In my opinion, it could possibly be the last attempt for a while to achieve an independent Palestinian state." Seeing as 20 years of negotiations had not managed to bring about a two-state solution, she said, the time had now come for the Palestinian Authority to somehow free itself from being dependent on negotiations with Israel.
Johannsen went on to say that while this might be a somewhat unusual move, it is worth a try, which is why Europe and the USA ought to recognise the Palestinian state as independent.
Nevertheless, a new round of negotiations would have to be launched at the same time as independence is proclaimed. The conflicting parties might not be able to manage it alone without any help from outside.

On the heels of an accurate Super Bowl prediction, I'm in the mood to discuss another prediction that any astrologer can conduct with a high degree of confidence: El Niño. More than two years ago I noted in my Galactic Times e-mail newsletters (they're free and available through my website – visit the about information for the link) that 2010 would be an El Niño year. How?
Back in 1947 a researcher for RCA, John Nelson, camped out atop a Manhattan skyscraper working to correlate short wave radio propogation disturbances with planetary relationships with the Sun from the heliocentric (Sun-centered) point of view. Nelson discovered that any planet making direct alignment (by an angle of 0 90 180 and 270) to the perihelion or node of any other planet increases the potential for solar volatility. Most notable in the revelation: volatility ran highest commonly when planets made aspects to the perihelion of Mars.
It's easy to understand how Nelson became a patron saint for astrologers familiar with his work.
When the perihelion of Mars is impacted by a planet, the likelihood of solar activity increases. Solar eruptions shower the Earth with supercharged blasts of energy, affecting the atmosphere and assuming influence over prevailing weather patterns (not to mention making most humans more than a bit out of sorts during these blasts). During the third week of January, Jupiter – noted for his amplification of everything he touches – aligned with the perihelion of Mars (6 Pisces 14). If you ask anyone in the southwestern United States if the winter weather has been above average, when they take a moment digging out from under the mud, they'll confirm a positive response to your question. These storms then marched across the central plains and dropped heavy snowfalls on the eastern seaboard of the United States.
This is a global pattern. Back in January online news wires carried amazing photographs of an unusually snowbound Europe and cold in Bangladesh. As well, a strong cyclone hit French Polynesia.
The return of sunspots perfectly and predictably aligns with this cycle. The last time Jupiter crossed the perihelion of Mars, we endured anomalistic weather on earth… as we did when Uranus, earlier in Pisces aligned with this point. Anytime Mars makes contact to his perihelion/aphelion axis, a short burst of intensified weather appears across the planet. Looking ahead to the short term, as March draws to a close, Mars crosses his aphelion, making an opposition to the perihelion. It would be reasonable to anticipate stronger than normal storms, riding the larger El Niño pattern at that time and probable anywhere on the planet.
A key point in presenting this information is to offset some of the building solar cycle hysteria already mounting on the Internet. Jupiter to the perihelion of Mars, naturally and organically, would be expected to heat up the solar cycle despite the recent, nearly anomalistic solar sunspot low era. Many have contended the peak of the next solar cycle due in 2011 will run late. Given that since these cycles have been observed the period consistently runs 11.08 years, there is no reason to expect that this time it will be twelve years… although that would make the peak of the next cycle coincident with the Mayan Calendar debacle. (The solar cycles operate on the 11.08 year short count and a 178.55 year longer count)
However, that is not at all likely. The long-standing cycles of the Sun likely will not yield to the persuasive fear-based wave riding that calendric cycle. It is true that the 2000 solar maximum contained a double peak. It is true that at that time scientists predicted a very strong 2011 maximum. But hysterical sorts latched onto the lingering solar maximum of 2000 and began auguring all sorts of mayhem for this next cycle, and insisted that it will run a year late, just to bolster silly End of the World (EOTW) agendas.
It is true that astronauts in space need to be very concerned about the solar outbursts. It is true that communication satellites might go on the fritz. It is true portions of the power grid could take a hit. Those who depend upon texting and satellite dependant Internet that supports social networking might think it's the end of their social world, but the Sun, supported by the patterns of the planets is doing his cyclical thing.
Certainly I'll write more about these patterns as the next Solar Max maximizes. If you want to be up to date on the latest solar blasts check out www.spaceweather.com. If you want to know more about other heliocentric astrological patterns and other groovy astrological stuff most astrologers won't consider, subscribe to my e-zine the Galactic Times at www.philipsedgwick.com.
Meanwhile, El Niño is part of a predicable pattern. So are sunspots, Solar Maximum and the freak out silliness cycle of people, who have not performed celestial due diligence.
I am reminded of a staggering first line in a great novel. This line is so great it overshadows, "Call me Ishmael" and "It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, we had everything before us, we had nothing before us, we were all going direct to heaven, we were all going direct the other way – in short, the period was so far like the present period, that some of its noisiest authorities insisted on its being received, for good or for evil, in the superlative degree of comparison only."
Consider the digestible nugget written into the first sentence of The Path of Minor Planets by Andrew Sean Greer:
"The sky always kept its word."

Duffy feeling at home in bullpen
KANSAS CITY -- This bullpen business seems to suit Danny Duffy pretty well.
When he helped preserve Saturday's 5-4 win over the Twins with two scoreless innings, it gave him a nice set of statistics for his first foray into relief work. In three games, he has thrown 6 1/3 shutout innings with nine strikeouts against two walks and three hits.
So far Duffy has done three multiple-inning stints, but there's really no assigned role set for him.
"I'll just come in whenever they ask me to come in. I'll do whatever," Duffy said. "But I'm really enjoying where I'm at right now. I know there's going to be ups and downs, but I feel like I fit really well where I am right now."
Except for closer Greg Holland, nothing is really set. Wade Davis has been the primary eighth-inning setup man, but manager Ned Yost is looking for someone to share that duty as well.
"Once our bullpen gets going, there are really no roles," Yost said. "Anybody can pitch in any situation because they're that good, or they have been in the past."
The left-handed Duffy was a starter throughout his career, but was summoned from Omaha when injuries struck the bullpen.
"The thing that we really like about Duffy is that he's got overpowering stuff. He doesn't have to have pinpoint command because he can get through with his great stuff," Yost said. "You can't constantly be throwing fastballs down the middle, but with his slider, which is new and improved, and his ability to throw an overpowering fastball, we were going to see a lot of innings like we did [Saturday] and the time before."
It appears that Duffy's bullpen tryout might turn into something more permanent this season.
"This is all kind of new to him and we're finding out about how we can use him. Can we use him back-to-back days? We know we can use him in multiple-inning stints. So we're learning about him," Yost said. "I think he's going to be a guy that's going to be very, very durable and be able to throw back-to-back days and handle a big workload down there."

Holmes hits hat-trick as Bees triumph
Ricky Holmes grabbed a scintillating hat-trick as Barnet moved out of the League Two relegation zone with a crucial 3-2 victory over Burton at Underhill.
The win is the Bees' first in six games and moves them one point above AFC Wimbledon, who play on Saturday, on goal difference.
Billy Kee had put Burton ahead from the penalty spot on 16 minutes after Barry Fuller fouled Jacques Maghoma, but Holmes grabbed an equaliser against the run of play as half-time approached - rounding Dean Lyness to score after a poor clearance.
Barnet looked a different side in the second half and went ahead after 53 minutes, Holmes sending Lyness the wrong way from the spot after Elliot Johnson's cross struck Cleveland Taylor's arm.
And the 25-year-old secured the win and his hat-trick after 66 minutes, firing home from just inside the area after a superb run down the right from Andy Yiadom.
Maghoma pulled one back from the spot in stoppage time, the third penalty of an eventual evening, but Barnet held firm under pressure to secure a vital three points.

Boosting Your Bottom Line: Life-Cycle Cost — The Real Purchase Price
EP Editorial Staff | November 14, 2010
Life-cycle cost (LCC) analysis is a powerful method of evaluating the total costs over the lifetime of equipment or systems. A basic LCC analysis will reflect purchase, installation, operation, maintenance and disposal costs. Looking beyond the initial purchase price will help you understand where your organization spends its money.
For example, did you know that the electricity used to power a motor represents approximately 95% of its total lifetime cost, including its purchase price? In many organizations, however, typically only the "initial costs"—such as purchase price and installation—are considered when investing in new equipment.
Why aren't life-cycle costs calculated more often? For one thing, these analyses require collection of additional financial data beyond initial cost. While the thought of gathering this information may seem daunting, you may need less than you think to get started.
For assessing basic equipment like motors and drives, begin with the following simple formula to get a ballpark estimate of lifetime cost. You'll need to know initial purchase and installation costs (I); expected life of the system in years (L); yearly cost of operation and maintenance (O&M)—be sure to include energy costs; expected yearly repair costs (R); and disposal costs (D) or salvage value (S). Make use of accepted industry estimates, spec sheets and your own facility's cost data for similar equipment:
Simple LCC = I + L(O&M + R) + D – S
What can be learned from this basic analysis? In the case of motors, O&M energy costs are often significant—so much so that they can overshadow initial purchase and installation costs. Now imagine considering the operation and maintenance costs across your entire system. Studies show that making investments to minimize energy consumption and minimize unscheduled downtime are some of the most effective ways to improve profitability[1]. Thus, you can see how important it is to conduct an LCC analysis before investing in new equipment or making major changes to processes.
Where can you get further help? A number of excellent resources provide LCC tools and training. For example, the U.S. Department of Energy's Industrial Technologies Program has a wealth of assessment tools for fan, pump, steam, process heating and motor systems to help industry save energy and money and increase productivity. ASTM International documents standard industry procedures for analyzing life-cycle costs. The Motor Decisions MatterSM Campaign has developed a suite of calculation tools and brochures to help you and your team make quick back-of-the-envelope LCC estimates.
Take advantage of these resources. LCC analyses will help you understand the real purchase price of your equipment and keep your operation focused on the bottom line. LMT

We've all been blaming LEGO marketing (and we should still ask why it's not available as a S@H exclusive), but this set's unavailability is largely due to lack of interest from Target, Wal-Mart, and Toys R Us.
So, what is the bottom line? Is TLG now reconsidering making this set available for purchase in North America, or are they saying that due to the packaging and lack of retailer interest, it will never, ever be sold in North America? I'm sure many of us C-C members want a firm answer... Thanks in advance, Ambassadors.

Of course....I was more lamenting the speed with which the list has been growing (~36 since he arrived here last week?) When the list started I didn't know tasting pours counted though, which put the list in a different perspective.
Off to the beer store after work. Trent can't repeat what's in the beer mile keg so there will need to be a selection.
I can BYOB to beer mile if need be
Tasting pours count. This is not a count of 12 or 16 oz beers, but of taste having a reasonable size (i.e., 3 oz or bigger).

What qualifies as a beer? Or is this a "beer" streak?
"Organic Cider"?
"Hard Lemonade" (okay that might be a malt beverage)

I believe Trent had Mike's Hard Lemonade on there at one point, and we shamed him into removing it.
What is the ceiling, 750ml bottle?
Yeah, pretty much.

"Organic Cider"?
"Hard Lemonade" (okay that might be a malt beverage)
The Mike's Hard Lemonade is on there because it is a malt beverage and because I have a sense of humor. Strangely, while they are really wines, ciders are typically considered as beer (perhaps because of the low alcohol?) so I've accepted that.
But mostly, I drink beer.
Just seeing this for the first time. I'm impressed.
Have you qualified for Boston? I want to interview you!
Message me!
Just seeing this for the first time. I'm impressed.
What Trent doesn't know is that when I gave him beer, I emptied one out, refilled the bottle with one from his list, and put on a new cap.
Just kidding. I'm not that much of a jerk.

New America's New Entitlement
The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation has delivered a lot of money for ideas to make higher education more affordable. One of the many papers it funded came out of the New America Foundation last week, and the report contains lots of proposals for Gates to work with. Unfortunately, its backbone — making the Pell Grant an entitlement program — is a complete nonstarter. Not only does Washington need a new entitlement like the Super Bowl needed a sudden spike in hair dryer use, the Pell Grant is utterly unjust, taking from Peter and giving to Paul so that Paul can make a million extra bucks.
The first point should be self‐evident. Entitlements such as Medicare and Social Security are already gigantic fiscal asteroids hurtling directly at us. Indeed, at their present rate of growth, by 2050 entitlements will likely eat up every single cent the federal government brings in, leaving not a dime for defense and other discretionary spending.
A Pell entitlement would certainly be small compared to, say, Medicare. If I'm reading NAF's report right, the total Pell cost in 2022, after all their recommended reforms, would be about $53.3 billion. (NAF says its plan would cost $94.4 billion over the next ten years "compared to current policy." For simplicity, dividing $94.4 by ten and adding the resulting $9.4 billion to the CBO‐projected 2022 Pell cost of $43.9 billion yields $53.3 billion.) In contrast to that $53.3 billion, Medicare is expected to cost about $1 trillion in 2022. But while the cost would be relatively tiny, the root pathology would be the same: a program with funding put on autopilot.
And don't think Pell won't sneak up to include increasingly higher‐income people. No one likes seeing others get free taxpayer money, and no politician will let the "middle‐class" — whoever that is — get "squeezed." Indeed, NAF tries to soften the blow for those who would lose tax deductions and credits under their plan (very good proposals, by the way) by noting that "some of the aid that these benefits provide to families with middle incomes will be replaced with the significant increases to the maximum Pell Grant that are proposed in this paper."
All that said, the root objection to Pell applies, whether it is an entitlement or not: There is no just reason for taking money from Paul and giving it to Peter so that Peter can get much wealthier. But that is precisely what Pell is intended to do: Take money from taxpayers and give it to other people so that they can get degrees and earn "$1 million more over their lifetimes." If any entity other than government were to do that, we'd call it "stealing."
The Pell Grant program absolutely should not be an entitlement — we have way too many of those as it is. Even more important, though, Pell shouldn't exist at all. It is, essentially, legalized theft.

Hawaii Hotels, Condos and Vacations
Explore pristine beaches and natural beauty when you book a vacation package to tropical Hawaii.
Explore pristine beaches and natural beauty when you book a vacation package to tropical Hawaii.
Rich with the sights and sounds of island culture, a vacation to Hawaii is like no other. From dramatic cliffs and towering waterfalls, to invigorating water sports and massive volcanoes, a vacation package incorporates an outstanding variety of things to do. The Hawaiian Islands offer up distinctive contrasts, with ideal snorkeling and deep-sea fishing in Kona and the world's most active volcano near Hilo.
This tropical paradise beckons visitors to return for more with complete vacation packages offering amazing deals. Leave your worries behind as you spend more time touring the natural beauty of the islands, from the lush jungles to the white sand beaches.
Honolulu International Airport on Oahu is the busiest, where you can catch a flight to any of the islands. However, there are smaller airports like Lihue on Kauai. On Maui, direct flights land at Kahului Airport and the Big Island has flights into Kona. Pack lightly, though, for the weather typically stays in the 70s and 80s.

Even the bears hate Rossum
See? I'm not the only one who finds her sugar sh-t repellent. Turns out the Rossum is annoying across different species. Even bears.
Rossum attended the Wildlife Conservation Society Spring Gala in New York last night wearing, what else?, a white wedding dress and her sickly smile. NY Magazine asked her if she'd had any freaky experiences with animals. Of course. What did Emmy Rossum do when confronted by a bear?
She sang to it:
"When I was seven, I went to Alaska on vacation with my mom for a month and came this close to a bear. They had told me, if you ever see a bear in the wilderness, sing to it, because it somehow can identify that you're a human. Don't whistle because it will think you're a bird and it'll eat you. But if you sing to it, apparently, it's pacified and it walks away. So I sang 'Somewhere Over the Rainbow,' and it walked away. Did a little Judy Garland rendition and he sauntered off."
The Rossum is SO f-cking annoying it sucked away the bear's will to live. Now I feel like locking myself in the bathroom at a Chinese restaurant and staring at the nasty ass toilets. Only Rossum makes me want to be that miserable.
So it's time for a new round of Would You Rather Rossum. This one's for you Douglas. You never let me down.
Would you rather:
Let Rossum, your FRIEND, sing to you every day for a year...
Listen to Miley Cyrus in the recording studio with NO autotune?
For those of you who are new to this, please remember, Would You Rather Rossum is the game of sh-t vs diarrhoea. You have to choose. Do you need a reminder of what Rossum singing sounds like? It's the VOWELS. It's the VOWELs that make me want to stab myself between the legs.
Thanks Amy!

THIS weekend marks the 50th anniversary of "proper" TV in Yorkshire, by which I mean its birth as a self-contained region.
July 29, 1968, was when Yorkshire Television went on the air, from Europe's first purpose-built colour studio. It was an inspired use for what had been a council slum clearance site; the drama, comedy and documentaries it turned out were among the best in Britain and, in many cases, the world.
The first transmissions came at the end of a bizarre scramble between ITV and the BBC to get on air first. The corporation had spent the better part of the 1960s insisting that Yorkshire didn't need its own service, but performed a volte-face when the Independent Television Authority decided that it did. It took over a church hall a mile and a half across town from YTV, and moved heaven and earth to get Look North on to the region's screens before Calendar.
But its studio was unfinished and had no proper soundproofing. One of the BBC film editors recalled that barking dogs outside in Leeds could be heard by viewers in Sheffield.
All of this springs to mind because a similar race is going on in Leeds as we speak. This week saw the city placed on the final shortlist of locations for Channel Four's new headquarters, along with Manchester and Birmingham.
The councils in all three centres are falling over themselves to be accommodating. The channel is not planning to build a studio or to produce programmes in its new home on any scale, but its presence would nevertheless be a beacon.
So in this weekend of industry nostalgia, let's rewind and remember how the politics played out previously.
In 1968, the BBC beat Yorkshire TV on air by several weeks, but it wasn't a level playing field: the corporation's base here was tiny in comparison. If we can learn from history, it is more likely from the episode in 1956 when the first ITV service in the North was created.
It went on air from Manchester, but it could just as easily have been Leeds.
A potential studio site in the city had been identified by Granada, the first of the region's programme contractors. But they also found one beside the Irwell, and the council in Manchester was apparently more pliant. Let's hope history doesn't repeat itself this time.
If I were a betting man, I would say the odds for Channel Four were stacked against Birmingham. No-one has ever been truly enthusiastic about making programmes there; the first Midlands ITV companies made do with one converted theatre between them.
In Yorkshire, the enthusiasm for television was genuine and joyful. I was privileged to work at YTV for 12 years, on and off, and can bear witness to what now seems to be a golden age of programmes made in, and for, Yorkshire.
The studios are still there but they have been turned over largely to a single production – Emmerdale. Welcome as that is, it is an operation vastly scaled down from the original one. That is a consequence of the contraction that has taken place within ITV – and the cost to the region can be seen by a casual glance at the current TV schedules.
Two hours of prime network time on BBC Four this week was occupied by daily coverage of the Royal Welsh Show. Two weeks earlier, there was almost none from the Great Yorkshire Show. Yet in its heyday, YTV provided an almost identical service for viewers here – a daily half-hour transmission from the Harrogate showground. Its regional audience alone would have matched anything on BBC Four.
And Yorkshire's output had a distinct quality not found elsewhere. The late writer David Nobbs, who made his home here, summed it up when he recalled popping into a newsagent's for a packet of cigarettes in the early 1970s, while a crew filmed in the street.
"Is that really Les Dawson outside my shop?" asked the lady at the counter.
"Yes, it really is," said Nobbs.
"Les Dawson, outside my shop, on the telly?" she repeated, scarcely able to comprehend the enormity of what she was seeing.
She finally gathered herself. "Ooh, I don't like him."
So much for glamour. Let that be a lesson, said Nobbs, to anyone who thought they were above themselves.
I hope the southerners at Channel Four know what they might be letting themselves in for.

Dorothy L. Ruyak, a retired Goucher College counselor and former co-president of the Baltimore County League of Women Voters, died of complications from Parkinson's disease Aug. 21 at Oak Crest Village. The Parkville resident was 82.
Born in Bethlehem, Pa., and known as Dottie, she was the daughter of Paul C. Ruyak, a steelworker, and Elizabeth Rose Timko, a homemaker. She was a 1950 graduate of Bethlehem High School and earned a Bachelor of Science degree from Moravian College for Women and a master's degree in education from Penn State University. She remained active in her schools' alumni associations.
Miss Ruyak moved to Maryland in 1969. She was initially a Goucher College counselor and later worked at Williams & Wilkins and Waverly Press, now known as Wolters Kluwer Health. She was a customer service manager on East Preston Street and later in the Camden Yards area. She retired nearly 15 years ago. Colleagues recalled her as a dedicated worker.
She was a member of the Baltimore County League of Women Voters and served as its co-president and treasurer in the 1980s. She was also a member of its housing committee and appeared at meetings to advocate for affordable housing in Baltimore County.
"Dottie held public meetings on welcoming diversity to our neighborhoods," said Elizabeth Sexton, co-president of the league. "She was thoughtful and quiet, and when she spoke at a meeting, her comments were spot-on. She had keen insights and gave great attention to detail. It was part of her work ethic that any job she took on, she did well."
She attended Baltimore County Council meetings and recorded notes for the league.
Friends said she enjoyed Shakespeare, attended the theater and performed in dinner theater productions.
A memorial service will be held at 11 a.m. Oct. 5 at Divinity Evangelical Lutheran Church, 1220 Providence Road in Towson, where she was an active member.
Survivors include a sister, Elizabeth Slivko of Bethlehem, Pa.

The image of the baseball hitting Marlon Byrd in the face is one I am having a hard time shaking off. The second image, the one of him thrashing around home plate on the ground from the pain is even more disturbing.
Marlon Byrd is the type of player that can carry a team when he's on a hot streak. When his bat hasn't quite hit it's stride, he's still a Cub that is fun to watch because you can tell he takes pride in being here and playing for Cubs fans. To see interact with the fans in the bleachers at Wrigley is one of the hidden gems of the Wrigley Field experience. The friendly jabs back and forth. The willing conversations with kids and adults alike. The dancing, the pointing, the smiling. Marlon Byrd is possibly the most likable player on the team which is what makes this injury all the harder to take.
I wouldn't wish getting hit in the face with a fastball on any baseball player. Not a player I dislike and of course certainly not one I root for on a regular basis. The league is doing more to test out new helmets to help with preventing concussions that occur as a result of beanballs. Thing is, when you are unable to get out of the way and one of those pitches catches you in the face…not a whole lot you can do about it except go down hard and hope for the best.
Think about the highlights you've seen on Sportscenter…all the times you've seen them play that disturbingly loud PLUNK sound of a baseball hitting a batting helmet. You've seen the concern of players in the field and teammates in the dugout when they show those shots. Of course, they generally show the reaction once and the plunking about 30 times in a row. To see the concern on those players when a beanball happens off a batting helmet is one thing. You know it's a big deal when players on the other team have looks on their faces like Youkalis did for the Sox. He looked absolutely horrified and rightfully so. Regardless of which uniform he is wearing, no player wants to see another player take a fastball to the face. And if they are concerned, players who have 'seen it all', then you know it is something to be concerned about.
As soon as it happened I thought of the scary episode baseball experienced earlier this year with Atlanta Braves minor leagues manager, Luis Salazar getting hit in the head with a foul ball and then slamming his head to the ground on his fall afterwards. He has lost the eye and his life will never be the same. Coaching like that can't be easy…it would be impossible to play. My number one concern is Byrd's health and vision. Number two would be his ability to play. When you start to talk about injuries to the head, you can't mess around or take it lightly. The Cubs need to take this very seriously and take care of Byrd. He is an important part of the line up and fabric of this team however they must not rush him back…if coming back is an option at all.
Nothing would be sadder than to see a player in his prime, loving playing for the Cubs, have his career cut short because of this type of play. The head is just such an intense opportunity for brain and vision injuries, maybe the league needs to go even further to protect their players. Facemasks? I don't know, not necessarily…but maybe.
My friend, Paulie Malignaggi, is a professional boxer. He fought the fight of his life at Madison Square Garden a few years back against a real brawler. It was a title match against the very talented and very strong Miguel Cotto. I produced a documentary of his training leading up to the fight and then we were there filming on fight night. Paulie performed to his best ability and made us all proud of him. While he did not win, he was impressive in defeat. I couldn't believe he went the distance considering in the third round, he broke the orbital bone on the left side of his face (the bone below the eye/lower part of the eye socket). I couldn't imagine the pain he must have been in and was concerned for his well-being, his career and his vision.
Luckily, Paulie healed and went on to continue his boxing career. Sometimes though, athletes can endure the same type of injury and not come out of it as lucky.
This Red Sox/Cubs series is something I've looked forward to because I predicted Cubs/Red Sox in the 2011 World Series. Game one was exciting until it turned into a giant blow-out loss. Game 2 was more fun as we ran off an 8-run 8th inning. Thing is, the game 2 success was greatly affected by the fact that one of our Cubs went down with a serious injury earlier in the game. Perhaps it's because I have first hand experience with an injury like this, knowing someone who has suffered facial fractures/broken bones around the eye. I know how serious it can be and maybe that's why I'm having a hard time shaking the Byrd injury off.
I can't wait to hear an update and I very much so hope Byrd is okay. I realize he is a baseball player and not a boxer. It's not like it was ten rounds of continuously getting hit in the face with a fastball. One shot, that was all. But to think about seeing the pitch hit him in the face and then him flailing in pain on the ground…a concussion would be one thing and I believe the team will handle his injury well and look out for Byrd's health. As of right now, his vision is my real concern and I'm hoping for good news about his condition soon. Even more so than a Cubs win this evening.
Hoping for the best re: Byrd and that his teammates will one for him tonight. Would be a great start to what could be a long road back to the playing field for Marlon. Go Cubs Go.

Photos from "Twilight" family album hits stands. What no baby pictures?
Proving how "Twilight" really is a contemporary soap opera, team "Twilight" and our friends at Entertainment Weekly magazine have a few pictures of the vampire couple and their little one, Renesmee. Only she isn't so little. Daytime TV has always been good at accelerating (and slowing) at will the age of youngsters.
Baby's just aren't that intriguing, except to their parents. How doting Bella and Edward C. were, we may never know. Eleven-year-old Mackenzie Foy portrays Bella and Edward's half-human/half vampire/oft craving daughter in "Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 2." The final chapter in the saga opens Nov. 16, a few days after Foy's 12th birthday. Not a bad present.
