Based on an 18th century Japanese legend: a group of forty seven samurai lose their Master (Min Tanaka) as a result of the actions of an evil Lord (Tadanobu Asano). Becoming leaderless ronin, they seek the help of a half-Japanese outcast (Keanu Reeves), who leads them through a mystical world of strange creatures, shape-shifters and danger to help them restore samurai honor. Also with Hiroyuki Sanada, Kou Shibasaki, Jin Akanishi and Rinko Kikuchi. Directed by Carl Rinsch. [2:00]
SEX/NUDITY 3 - A man is shirtless in three scenes, revealing his chest, back, arms and shoulders. An overweight man in a pond bathes and we see his bare chest, abdomen, back, arms and shoulders. Several women on a tall-boat wear long gowns with deeply cut necklines that reveal cleavage. In two scenes of ritual suicide men remove their upper garments to reveal bare chests, shoulders and arms (please see the Violence/Gore category for more details).
► In a hallucination a man hears his daughter screaming and thinks someone is raping his daughter under a cloak (we see thrusting and hear screaming).
► A man and a woman hold hands, embrace and kiss briefly. A husband and his wife embrace briefly before he goes to war and he says that she is the love of his life. A little girl kisses a little boy on the cheek.
► We hear that a man was born to a peasant Japanese woman after one night of sex with an English sailor. A witch tells a woman that she dishonored her father by lusting for a half-Japanese man.
VIOLENCE/GORE 6 - A shape shifting witch changes from a white fox into a woman wearing a long gown to a swarm of white insects and back to a woman; she rubs the chest of a man inside his kimono and stabs his inner elbow with her hair pick causing blood to spurt and she cups it in her hands, blows on it and creates a silver spider; she swirls into green smoke and sheer material, enters a man's room and drops the spider on his lips, where it dispenses poison; the man's eyes glaze and he hallucinates that his daughter is screaming and takes a sword and attempts to attack a visiting noble, whom he thinks is raping his daughter under the noble's long black cloak (it is a hallucination in which we see thrusting and hear screaming) but he is stopped by his warriors; the man is sentenced to ritual suicide and in front of the community he kneels and in an upper chest and head shot, we see him remove his upper garment and grimace as he stabs himself in the abdomen (the camera angle changes so we see his back and the handle of the knife, but no blood), and then his second swings a sword that we see only in shadow, indicating that he has beheaded him, as his daughter cries.
► A Shogun sentences a group of samurai to ritual suicide and they appear before the community with several men and women viewing from the stands; the camera moves to a close-up of one bare-chested man as he grimaces and snaps his head downward, indicating that he began disemboweling himself below the frame (the scene ends).
► At night in a cemetery clandestine samurai confront the guards of an evil tyrant; one guard changes to a woman (she's a witch), throwing a fireball at one of the samurai who gags and falls to his knees, and then goes up in fire and we see him burning silently; a giant in silver armor beheads him behind a thick wall of flame (we see only the swing of the sword) and a swordfight breaks out between the two opposing sides and many samurai are injured by arrows; several guards die and at dawn, and we see charred dirt and charred wooden-and-straw grave markers and dead guards on the ground.
► Two fights occur simultaneously: a samurai leader and a tyrant, and a samurai with a witch turned to a dragon-snake creature with the camera cutting back and forth between the fights that include kicks, punches and sword fighting; the dragon pulls a piece of a wall away and tosses it at the man, who ducks, while the dragon breathes fire toward the audience and the man transforms to black smoke and stabs the dragon in the head; the dragon gasps, snaps its jaws, changes into a woman and dies with eyes open while in the other fight, the samurai and the tyrant stab through a wall at each other, then engage in a fistfight and the samurai puts a chokehold on the tyrant and stabs him in the abdomen below the frame as the tyrant grimaces and grunts before dying.
► At a nighttime wedding celebration, samurai silently scale a wall and pull guards over to the ground (away from the camera); the samurai attack two dozen more guards silently, slitting their throats, garroting them, stabbing them in the heart, and shooting arrows through their heads (we see no blood, but hear short grunts as the guards fall); a giant wearing silver armor chases a group of samurai, but one kills him with a bomb made from gunpowder in a bamboo case (black and silver pieces of the giant fly toward the audience, along with rocks, flames and pieces of the walls); a sword fight breaks out in the courtyard between samurai and the remaining guards as we hear shouts and a lot of metal-on-metal strikes.
► A man enters a fighting ring in the hold of a ship where he and another man fight with swords; the second man stabs a male spectator (no blood shows) and the two men run out of the ship; men follow, shooting guns, but hit no one and the two men fall through rotten wood in the dock and onto a boardwalk; after a couple of fistfights with sailors, the first two men toss lanterns into the wooden ship, igniting it and filling the screen with flames as they run away and the scene ends; one of the two men says that demons taught him to fight. An evil nobleman spars with two men, all three using heavy wooden staves; the nobleman knocks the other men down and stomps on the head of one of the men four times in a middle distance shot (we don't see blood and the man is still breathing). A clan of clandestine samurai visits a sword-making village; one of the unarmored visitors fights five armored guards, killing them all with swords, knives and an arrow to the back (we see a little blood from the knife cuts). A woman in a hallway pulls a knife from her sleeve and stabs a guard with it (he falls without blood showing).
► A man wearing armor battles an 8-foot tall samurai in heavier armor within a square at a tournament; sword strikes and kicks are used without drawing blood until the first man's helmet is thrown off and a Shogun stops the battle, ordering the man to be beaten and a samurai cuts off the man's armor with a knife before three other men beat him on his clothed back with wooden staves; a fourth man strikes him once, hard enough for him to lose consciousness and we later see his bare back, covered with large red, raw scrapes. A man tied at the wrists with rope receives a strong kick to the back and a strike to the head with a staff.
► Two men enter a cave, telling their comrades to wait outside the cave; inside, one man confronts a yellow-skinned demon-man with golden eyes and bumpy facial and scalp skin and another man hallucinates and sees a group of dozens of demons like the yellow-skinned one, as these demons appear to jump on, stab, and slice his comrades (we hear screams and grunts, but see no blood); the demons change to yellow smoke and then back to men but then disappear and so do the humans. A man and a yellow-skinned demon-man fight over a sword, both turning to smoke and back.
► A clan of samurai carry two swords each, knives, longbows and long feathered arrows; they chase a creature that appears part dinosaur and part huge elk, with horns and antlers, six golden eyes, cloven hooves, a scaly tail and a furry back; several horses and men fall (we see no blood) and one man picks up a fallen sword, rides under the beast, stabs it in the heart and is dragged by it for several yards (the creature dies and we see blood on the man's hands and the point of the sword); later, we see the man's back with some scrape marks. In a fight in the hold of a boat, a man fights an ogre using kicks as well as swords, knives and a mace on a chain; the man beheads the ogre, without much blood, and another man grabs the head and dances around the floor with it.
► A samurai leader stands on a palace wall and holds the severed head of a man high for the fighting men below to see (no blood appears); the man's men surrender and the next day the samurai leader carries the severed head in a muslin bag through the village and to the gravestone of his deceased master.
► A dishonored samurai is tossed into a deep pit for solitary confinement for one year; he is then pulled back up with ropes and we see him dirty and with long hair and beard, trembling from cold before being kicked into a muddy street to walk home in a heavy rain; later, he tells his teen son to find horses and help him find other samurai, who were banished from the village, in order to seek revenge against an evil nobleman.
► At a samurai camp one man places compresses on the chest of a comrade who suffered arrow wounds; the wounded man coughs several times and dies. A man dies on his floor, gasping with glazed eyes as we hear that he was bewitched.
► A young boy runs through a forest and collapses in muddy water; after being found by a samurai, the boy places a sword blade to the man's throat, but does not harm him; long claw scratches appear on the boy's bald scalp and we hear that he was raised by demons.
► A man leads his comrades through a mystic forest and hears voices of the demons that raised him. He says the forest is filled with spirits of the old, infirmed and unwanted children and we see white smoky blobs with eyes like ghosts. A witch watches a princess at night and stabs a large knife into the floor by her head, suggesting that she slit her own throat; the princess picks the knife up later, but does not use it.
► A dragon-snake snarls with large teeth into the audience. Several mythical creatures appear in the film, including an 8-foot tall samurai, a huge ogre, a shape-shifting witch, and a clan of men with yellow reptilian skin.
► Forty seven samurai sign a document of war and revenge against an evil noble; they each touch a thumb to their own swords and put a bloody thumbprint on top of their signatures. A screen caption on a black background states that the Japanese people visit the graves of the ronin every December.
► A witch tries to make a princess eat food from the witch's long hair, but the princess refuses. At a dock filled with tall-boats an Englishman appears shirtless, covered with crudely done tattoos from bald scalp to waistline and down his arm and his face resembles a skull with black eyes.

Reviews of Way Home, a (1955)
Review by clong (2005-06-19)
A very constistent collection of Sturgeon short stories, none of which are disappointing and a couple of which are truly superb. Sturgeon frequently makes you work to figure out what is going on in his stories, and focuses much more on emotional content than action. And while there is plently of science content in some of these stories, they are generally more left-brained than right-. I found Hurricane Trio to be one of the more memorable short stories I have ever read.

So far, so good -- this year's mild winter is making pothole dodging a little easier for local drivers.
Driving home this afternoon, you may have dodged a few potholes or even helped created another one.
Thanks to a recent wet spell followed by Arctic weather, a new batch of jagged asphalt craters appeared on the city's 246.5 miles of streets within the last two weeks.
But this year's crop is relatively meager, said Tom Orzulak, the city's assistant director of public works.
"This has been the best winter in the last five for potholes," Orzulak said. "The only bad thing about that is the winter is not over."
Orzulak said a new batch began pock-marking city streets after a recent rain. And freezing temperatures helped moved pothole creation along.
"Up until that point, we were doing very well," he said. "This year, basically, we kept three people busy patching holes. But two winters ago, we had 30 people patching holes."
Another reason potholes may not be so bad this year is that some of the the heavily cratered streets of the past were covered with fresh asphalt during the summer, he said.
Orzulak and other city employees try to patch potholes as they appear.
"Every time we drive, we're out looking for them," he said. "There aren't any real bad spots. Most of them are scattered."
However, there are a few areas on the city's main streets that usually need frequent attention, such as the intersection of 15th and Iowa streets and Harper Street north of 23rd Street, he said.
City crews use a cold patching asphalt material during the winter. It holds up fairly well in dry weather, but if the patching is done during cold and wet conditions, the pothole might reappear in a week or a month, he said.
Most potholes are about two inches deep, Orzulak said.
"The biggest one I saw was maybe four inches deep," he said.
The causes of potholes vary. But the biggest ones are caused by a mix of water, traffic, cracked pavement and cold weather, he said.
"The car pushes water into the crack and like a hydraulic jack, pops the surface off," he said.
If you see a pothole develop, you can report it to the city at 841-1220 from 7:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday. After hours, you can leave a recorded message on the city's pothole reporting line, 832-3456.
- On the Road Warriors: Have any questions/concerns/peeves related to streets or traffic? Call the J-W Access line at 865-5000, enter category 7485 and leave a brief message.

Calvin Volleyball Topples Trine 25-17, 28-26, 25-21 at Hershey Hall
Saturday, September 24, 2011
Story by Mitch Blankespoor/Photo by Paul Evans
ANGOLA, IN - The Calvin College womens volleyball team looked to win its fifth straight conference match Saturday. The Trine University Thunder was the one standing in the way. The Knights were pushed, but pulled out a three set victory defeating the Thunder 25-17, 28-26, 25-21.
All three sets started out tight. After the first 20 points in each set, the score was knotted at ten apiece. Calvin pulled away in the first set behind service runs from sophomore Megan Rietema (Grand Rapids Christian HS) and junior Jen Pluymert (Grand Rapids Christian HS). Set number two saw the Knights coming back from a 20-15 to tie the score at 24-24. Trines lone set point came at 26-25 when freshmen Jordan Bells serve went into the net. Calvin used a service run from junior Lizzie Kamp (Chicago Christian HS) to jump out to a 17-12 lead and never looked back.
Give Trine the credit. They came ready to go. We did not block well today. When a team plays well on the other side of the net, it means that we have to play more defense. Head Coach Amber Warners commented after the match.
Calvin (14-0, 5-0 MIAA) was led by Lizzie Kamp and senior Rebecca Kamp (Chicago Christian HS) who had 13 and 11 kills respectively despite hitting a season low .240 as a team. Megan Rietema dished out 28 assist while senior Kelly Peterson (Anoka HS) added 13 digs. Calvin as a team had eight blocks.
The Thunder were led by junior Betsy Irwin and freshmen Melanie Troyer with 14 and 11 kills respectively. Junior setter Sarah Radekin dished out 29 assists.
We have people step it up on any given day. Becca and Lizzie were the ones who did today. We did a great job getting them the ball.
Top-ranked Calvin returns to action on Wednesday when it plays host to the Hope College Flying Dutch at 6:30 p.m. at Van Noord Arena.

General Motors India on Friday said it will hike prices of its entire range of vehicles by up to Rs 10,000 from next month in order to partially offset impact of rising input costs.
"We plan to hike prices across our entire product portfolio by up to Rs 10,000 from January. This is due to cost pressure," General Motors India vice president P Balendran told PTI.
The company currently sells various vehicle brands in the country ranging from hatchback Spark to sports utility vehicle Captiva, priced between Rs 333,000 and Rs 25.71 lakh (Rs 2.57 million), respectivley, (ex-showroom Delhi).
Earlier this week, Hyundai Motor India Ltd had announced an increase in prices of its products across all models by up to Rs 20,000 from January.
This, it said, was to offset pressure of input costs on account of rupee depreciation and inflationary trends.

Head on over to faircompanies for more on how Disney executive/canine fancier/organic olive oil purveyor Glen Lajeski and his partner Gerry Etcheverry erected, in a mostly DIY fashion, a 'fabulous' encampment on a woodsy mountainside plot of land in northern Sonoma County — a secluded and serene acreage where the couple initially set out to build a "traditional" home that still has yet to materialize.
But brace yourself ... this is Elle Decor-worthy outdoor living porn of the highest order complete with babbling brooks, koi ponds, lush gardens, and an al fresco shower arrangement that will leave you aching to rinse off in the great outdoors.

Every televised sporting event includes two things that are guaranteed to happen. First, there will be beer commercials. Second, at some point during the game, when panning the crowd, we will see a sign that says John 3:16. It is perhaps the most recognizable verse in Sacred Scripture, "For God so loved the world that he gave his Only Begotten Son, so that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life." It is in many ways a perfect summary of the Gospel containing both the importance and simplicity of the message. Despite its simplicity, it has also become a source of confusion and contention for many Christians that centers around what it means to "believe in Him."
As with many questions like this, it helps to begin with what it is not saying. First, it is not saying that we believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. Paraphrasing St. James, "even the demons believe that and tremble" (James 2:19). Jesus' true identity is something worthy of belief, but only in the sense that we believe other historical realities. They either happened or they didn't. Jesus either really rose from the dead and ascended to Heaven or He didn't. This is not to believe in Him but to believe about Him. This is not what Jesus had in mind in addressing Nicodemus.
This is also not a call to believe in Jesus the philosopher or ethics professor. This is often the way the world views Jesus and we inadvertently adopt this view to defend Christianity. This is simply to believe Him. Our Lord is not asking Nicodemus to become one of His pupils or to follow His moral code. The invitation is for something deeper and more personal. Instead we must treat Christianity as, Pope Benedict XVI said in his first encyclical, "not the result of an ethical choice or a lofty idea, but the encounter with an event, a person, which gives life a new horizon and a decisive direction."
What Christianity Is
In this, the Pope Emeritus captures the true meaning of what Jesus is inviting Nicodemus, and by extension, us, to. We do not believe in ideas, principles or philosophies. We believe in another person. In short Jesus is inviting us not to follow a way of life, but to enter into a love affair. It is an invitation to trust. Until we accept that this is the invitation, we will remain fixed in viewing our Christian life as a moral or philosophical journey. Until we love Christ and not just Christianity we will not have the encounter we so deeply desire.
The doors of trust are opened when we come to realize that the "Word became flesh" for no other reason than because "God so loved the world," that is every person in it. It is no encounter with a man who died long ago and left us some teachings, but a man who is alive and waiting for me. It is not a generic love for me, but a deeply personal love for me. It is the assurance that Christ did not die for mankind, but that "I live by faith in the Son of God who has loved me and given himself up for me" (Gal 2:20).
Like all relationships founded on trust, once the trust is in place, we are willing to do whatever Christ tells us. Notice how Nicodemus keeps returning to Jesus throughout John's Gospel so that his trusts grows to the point that he even defends him before the Sanhedrin. Once I know that He has only my best interest at heart, once I know the lengths He has gone to prove this and the power He has over all that can harm me, I will do whatever He says, no matter how crazy it seems, I will do it.
Even the devil knows how foundational this trust is. Deep down, all sin is a matter of not trusting God enough. "Maybe he doesn't really have my best interest at heart…" As the Catechism says "Man, tempted by the devil, let his trust in his Creator die in his heart and, abusing his freedom, disobeyed God's command" (CCC 397). Jesus, I trust in You!
Faith and Works
Call it "works flowing from faith" or whatever you like, but it is summarized in one word trust. The whole faith vs works controversy that separates Christianity is simply semantics. It is about trust. "Trust," Our Lord says, "that I can save you" and you will be saved. Trust not, and you are already condemned. There is no other way to be saved.
We can readily see that this confusion over the word believe is related much like the confusion over the word faith. That is why the Church has always made the distinction between the act of faith and the content of faith. The act of faith is the trust that we have in God. The more we trust, the greater our trust becomes. The content of faith is what we believe. In both senses we will use the word faith. We have faith in the Person and so the content of what He has revealed, i.e the Faith, is altogether reliable.
While the act of faith is primary (in the sense that it is first in time), the content of faith is indispensable. The content of faith, that is things like the Creed, are the reasons why we believe. They are motives of credibility.
In his biography on St. Francis of Assisi, GK Chesterton seems to capture the spirit of John 3:16 perfectly. He writes of the world's fascination with God's Troubadour because of his love of nature and mankind, but his religion was always a stumbling block (especially the Stigmata). Chesterton says the interpretive key for Francis is that "A man will not roll in the snow for a stream of tendency by which all things fulfil the law of their being. He will not go without food in the name of something, not ourselves, that makes for righteousness. He will do things like this, or pretty like this, under quite a different impulse. He will do these things when he is in love."

Fuzzy navel
A fuzzy navel is a mixed drink made from peach schnapps and orange juice. Generally an equal amount of each component is used to concoct it, although quantities may vary. It can also be made with lemonade[1] or a splash of vodka depending on the drinker's taste. The addition of another 1 or 1½ oz of vodka to the fuzzy navel creates a "hairy navel", the more "hair" referring to the increased strength of alcohol in the drink. A Hairy Navel recipe is as follows: 1 part vodka, 1 part peach schnapps, 4 parts orange juice.[2]
The fuzzy navel was one of the first drinks to arise in the new popularity of cocktails and mixed drinks in the 1980s. The drink was invented over 30 years ago by Ray Foley, a well known bartender and founder of Bartender Magazine.[3] The story goes that Ray was cutting an orange for a garnish when a man nearby made the remark that he could still smell the fuzz of the peach schnapps through the orange juice. Ray looked at the orange and saw the printed word "Navel" for navel orange. Thus the cocktail was born.[3]
This fashion was described by New York Times critic William Grimes as "a kind of cult, rallying points for young drinkers in search of fun and not too picky about taste".[4]
"Fuzzy" in the name refers to the peach, and "navel" to the orange.

It's not much, but two to three inches of fresh snow this morning at North Tahoe will make for a good day on the hill.
My favorite conditions are a few inches of powder atop groomed corduroy. That's exactly what's available today at nine Tahoe resorts.
A weak storm front arrived Tuesday night and is passing through this morning. Alpine Meadows, Boreal, Donner Ski Ranch, Heavenly, Homewood, Northstar, Squaw Valley, Sugar Bowl and Tahoe Donner all reported two or three inches of snow by 9 a.m., with snow still falling.
Though the highways are in good shape, there's enough ice on I-80 that chains are required this morning, on all vehicles except 4-wheel-drive vehicles with snow tires, from Kingvale to the Donner Lake interchange.
The light snowfall missed most other ski resorts. The rest of the week is forecast to be sunny in high Sierra, with the next snow in the long-range outlook projected for Feb. 10-12, Friday through Sunday.
The reality, of course, is that this is a low snow year and will take several major poundings to open all terrain at resorts at Tahoe and on the western Sierra. In the meantime, if skiing or boarding is your thing, flexibility to take advantage of small gifts, like today, is the best strategy.

A homeless man has received numerous offers of help after he lost his belongings in an arson attack.
Trevor, 48, left his rucksack containing his clothes, sleeping bag and contact numbers for his children in a cupboard behind St John's Catholic Church in Horsham.
He had experience of it being a safe hiding place, however he returned to find his bag had been set alight in a skip. Since the County Times published his story last week, people have come forward offering help.
On the paper's Facebook page Rhiannon Ross said: "That's truly terrible. If anyone knows where I can find Trevor or any way to contact him, I would be happy to replace the items, sleeping bag, food, clothes etc that he has lost, if he needs it. Unfortunately the phone numbers will still be lost and probably what he is most hurt by losing and hardest to get back."
David White said: "That's disgusting! I hope someone reports who did it as they'll obviously brag about it to their mates. If he needs a good rucksack I've one that needs a good home."
People have also contacted ARK Horsham, the charity where Trevor gets support.
Founder Lisa Burrell said: "We and Trevor are so grateful for all the offers of donations we have received.
"If Trevor doesn't need them, there will be someone who will. Items of appropriate clothing, ruck sacks, sleeping bags, food and toiletries are always welcome.
"We hope in the future to have our own building so we can help more people like Trevor."
The charity meets at Horsham United Reformed Church in Springfield Road. For more information visit thearkhorsham.org.uk

Preliminary tests show that few, if any, baboon bone marrow cells have grown and functioned after being transplanted into a 38-year-old man with severe AIDS, his doctors said yesterday.
But the doctors said in interviews that they were puzzled why the patient, Jeff Getty, had done so well since the highly risky experiment was carried out in San Francisco in December. Mr. Getty has gained several pounds, his asthma and a severe case of a skin condition known as seborrhea have cleared up, his immune cells have increased slightly and tests done so far show that he has not developed any infections, said Dr. Steven Deeks, Mr. Getty's doctor at San Francisco General Hospital.
The results suggest that this is not working in Jeff" and "Jeff's good health cannot be explained by the baboon cells," Dr. Deeks said.
He said the team intended to report its findings in a scientific journal and would not have discussed them now except that Mr. Getty was doing so well that many AIDS patients and others believed his improvement was a result of the cross-species transplant. Dr. Deeks said he and Project Inform, an advocacy group for AIDS patients that paid for much of the experiment's cost, felt obligated to dispel any false hopes.
Nevertheless, Dr. Deeks said, "something happened at the time of his transplant that has had a dramatic effect on his health."Continue reading the main story
The researchers involved in the baboon transplant said they regarded the experiment as a success, despite the apparent failure of the transplant to work. A major goal of the experiment was to determine the safety of the radiation and drug therapy used to prepare Mr. Getty for the cross-species transplant. The scientists now believe that the preparatory therapy may have been too little.
Last August, Dr. Suzanne T. Ildstad of the University of Pittsburgh, a principal investigator of the baboon cross-species experiment, said at a Food and Drug Administration hearing that the team was purposely starting with low doses that might fail to allow the baboon cells to grow because no one knew the correct amount of radiation and drugs to give to someone whose immune system was severely damaged by AIDS. "Our approach has been to err on the side of safety" and it may take four or so experiments to determine the proper amount of preparation, she said at the meeting.
Lenore Gelb, a spokeswoman for the Food and Drug Administration, said the Federal agency did not expect the experiment to work. The agency approved only one such experiment. Permission must be obtained for further baboon bone marrow transplants.
Dr. Ildstad said that some tests on Mr. Getty's cells taken four weeks after the transplant were positive and some were negative, and that it would take another week or so to repeat the tests. The team plans to continue monitoring Mr. Getty as long as he lives.
Dr. Deeks said that "if there are baboon cells present in Jeff, there are not a lot of them" and "those that might be present would not be enough to provide Jeff with long-term clinical benefit."
Mr. Getty, who has been sailing in San Francisco Bay and lifting weights, said he was "pleased with the results" of the experiment because it showed that the procedure was safe and his condition had improved. "It got rid of my asthma, which had been severe for many years, and we are not quite sure why," Mr. Getty said. He said he would have considered the experiment a failure "if I had died."
The number of special immune cells in Mr. Getty's blood has risen slightly since the baboon bone marrow transplant. The CD-4 cells, which play a critical role in immune system function, have risen to 75 from a level of about 10 to 30 in the weeks before the transplant. The CD-4 count fell to 2 after the transplant, Mr. Getty said. But the increase is only slight because the normal count, which varies widely, is from about 800 to 1,200.
Mr. Getty has been taking a combination of an experimental drug, indinavir, a protease inhibitor, and two standard drugs, AZT and 3TC, in a study. Last week scientists reported that the combination could suppress the amount of AIDS virus to levels that could not be detected by current techniques and raised the number of CD-4 and other immune cells.
But Dr. Deeks said that for several reasons he doubted that Mr. Getty's response was a result of the combination therapy. One is that Mr. Getty experienced "some of the toughest months clinically while he was on the therapy" before the transplant and he could not understand why his improvement now would be due to the drug therapy.
Dr. Deeks said his team was exploring "an intriguing possibility" that Mr. Getty's improvement was due to the radiation therapy he underwent in preparation for the marrow transplant. The radiation was used to destroy some of Mr. Getty's marrow to make space for the baboon marrow. Recent experiments on monkeys have suggested that radiation therapy might be useful.
People with advanced AIDS often have an erratic course. "We may be catching Jeff on the upside," Dr. Deeks said. "Jeff has been overall energized by his experiment, and that could explain everything, but I suspect there is more to it than that."
Mr. Getty said that he felt better than he had for four years and that he was beginning to make longer range plans. Some scientists have criticized the experiment because it might lead to baboon viruses' causing serious disease in transplant recipients and other humans.
As for the possibility that some unknown baboon virus might be lurking in his body and that it might not cause him any harm for a decade, Mr. Getty said, "I hope I live that long."Continue reading the main story

Northern Ballet bring dance twist to Madame Butterfly in Manchester, 25 Sept
Glenn Meads • Blackpool, Bolton, Chester, Lancaster, Liverpool, Manchester, Oldham, Salford • 21 Aug 2012
Madame Butterfly is directed and choreographed by the company's Artistic Director, David Nixon who originally created the piece on his wife, Yoko Ichino, the internationally renowned ballerina, who is now Ballet Mistress and Academy Associate Director at Northern Ballet.
Northern Ballet's Madam Butterfly is based on the original Belasco play that inspired the great opera and premiered at Leeds Grand Theatre in 2002.
This heart-rending tale of love and infidelity, involves a young geisha who marries Lieutenant Pinkerton, a dashing naval officer, only to be abandoned by him while carrying his unborn child. The loyal Butterfly awaits her husband's return, valiantly raising their son alone in a society which has ostracised her. When Pinkerton eventually returns to Nagaski with his new American wife, Butterfly's doomed fate and that of her young son are sealed.
The ballet features choreography and design by David Nixon, music by Giacomo Puccini and orchestration by John Longstaff. Ligthing is by Peter Mumford and the scenic design is by Ali Allen.
Northern Ballet's Madame Butterfly is at the Palace Theatre from 25 - 29 September.

Elemetal Mint
The surge in precious metal prices in the aftermath of the Great Recession has had a massive impact on minting operations in the United States. While some of the nation's most respected mints have been in operation for several decades, a number of new private mints have also opened in recent years. A collaborative effort from three separate entities eventually gave rise to the creation of the largest private mint in the United States. Silver.com is proud to offer a variety of Elemetal Mint products now for investors and collectors alike.
Elemetal Mint Silver Bars on Silver.com
When Ohio Precious Metals transitioned from the OPM brand to the new Elemetal Mint brand, the former OPM silver bars that were struck from 1 oz and up were no longer produced. A new silver bullion product has recently been introduced by Elemetal Mint, with a special production feature that puts them into an elite category in the precious metals marketplace.
The Snap Bullion line of silver bars from Elemetal Mint include .999 fine silver and consist of a total of either two troy ounces of silver or five troy ounces. The bars bears the name Snap Bullion in honor of the unique production process that provides the bars with divisible snap lines. These precut lines on the bar's surface allow you as an investor to purchase the bars in the two and five ounce weights, with the freedom to snap apart the bars into smaller denominations for easier storage, transportation, or reselling.
The 2 oz Elemetal Mint Snap Silver Bar bears a matte finish on both sides and consists of four separate one-half ounce silver bars. Each bar's obverse face has engravings that read "Snap Bullion," "one half ounce," and ".999 Fine Silver." The bars ship to you in a sealed plastic casing, and divide without any loss of metal content or purity.
The 5 oz Elemetal Mint Snap Silver Bar features the same matte finish and Snap Bullion technology that allows you to separate the bars with the loss of silver content or purity. The five ounce bar is divisible into 20 smaller bars that each contain one-quarter ounce of silver. Engravings on each of the individual 20 bars read "Snap Bullion," "one quarter ounce," and ".999 Fine Silver." Like the 2 oz Elemetal Mint Snap Silver Bar, these five ounce bars ship to you in sealed plastic packaging.
Elemetal Mint Silver Rounds on Silver.com
While the Snap Bullion brand may be innovative, it is the series of Ultra High Relief Proof Silver Rounds from Elemetal Mint that are turning heads with collectors. Currently the mint offers two different series, with plans to continue producing new designs in each of the series. Both the Privateer and American Landmarks Ultra High Relief Proof Silver Round series feature common obverse designs, with unique reverse designs that set individual products apart from other offerings in the series.
All Elemetal Mint silver rounds feature other common factors as well. For example, each round consists of two troy ounces of .999 fine silver. Products are available for shipment in either individual plastic flips or sealed mint tubes of 10 products. All rounds are struck under immense pressure to create an ultra-high-relief finish on the product.
The 2 oz Elemetal Mint Privateer Silver Round was the first released in the Privateer Series. On the reverse face of this silver round you'll see massive pirate shipping sailing atop stormy seas, while the moon struggles to break through the ominous clouds in the background. On the obverse is common design theme of the series, which features a ship's wheel with a human skull at the center. Above it is the engraving of the pirate motto "No Prey, No Pay." Below is an engraving of the weight, metal content, and purity of the round.
Just a few months after the Privateer Silver Round was released in 2015, Elemetal Mint unveiled the second round in the Privateer Series with the 2 oz Elemetal Mint Siren Silver Round. Again struck in an ultra-high-relief proof version, this round features a new design on the reverse face. The same pirate ship from the Privateer round is visible sailing along calmer seas, but the ominous clouds in the background of this design portend a more dangerous outcome for the sailors. In the foreground, a beautiful siren sits atop a rocky outcrop, no doubt using her melodious voice to lure the men to certain doom. You'll find the common obverse design for Private Series silver rounds on this product.
A second ultra-high-relief proof series was introduced in the summer of 2015 by Elemetal Mint. Known as the American Landmarks series, these products also consist of two troy ounces of .999 fine silver and are struck in ultra-high-relief proof versions. Elemetal Mint is planning for the production of 18 different designs in the American Landmark Series, with each round sharing a common reverse design and featuring a unique reverse design. The rounds will highlight different natural wonders across North American.
On the reverse face of each coin in the series you'll find a geographic outcrop of the North American continent, complete with geographic features such as the many interconnected river systems of the United States and the Appalachian and Rocky Mountain chains. The continent design bears a matte finish, while the background is deeply-mirrored, as is a strip along the outer edge of the round. Engravings around the edge read "American Landmarks" and "2 oz. .999 Fine Silver."
The obverse side of the first silver round in the American Landmark Series features the image of Horseshoe Bend in the Grand Canyon. The 2 oz Elemetal Grand Canyon Silver Proof Round honors the Grand Canyon in the state of Arizona. Carved out over the course of millions of years by the flow of the Colorado River, the Grand Canyon created a truly unique feature in the shape of a horseshoe, where a small outcrop of land stands above the flow of the river. The only engraving on this side reads "The Grand Canyon."

MARK MOORE, Complainant
MILWAUKEE BOARD OF SCHOOL DIRECTORS, Respondent
ERD Case No. 199604335
An administrative law judge for the Equal Rights Division of the Department of Workforce Development issued a decision in this matter. A timely petition for review was filed.
The commission has considered the petition and the positions of the parties, and it has reviewed the evidence submitted to the administrative law judge. Based on its review, the commission agrees with the decision of the administrative law judge, and it adopts the findings and conclusion in that decision as its own, except that it makes the following modifications:
1. In the second paragraph of the administrative law judge's ORDER the term "boiler attendant" is deleted and the term "Boiler Attendant Trainee" is substituted therefor.
2. The third paragraph of the administrative law judge's ORDER is deleted and the following is substituted therefor:
"That the respondent shall make the complainant whole for all losses in pay the complainant suffered by reason of its unlawful conduct by paying the complainant the sum he would have earned as an employe from the date on which he would have been hired but for the discrimination until such time as the complainant resumes employment with the respondent or would resume such employment but for his refusal of a valid offer of a substantially equivalent position. The back pay for the period shall be computed on a calendar quarterly basis with an offset for any interim earnings during each calendar quarter. Any unemployment compensation or welfare benefits received by the complainant during the above period shall not reduce the amount of back pay otherwise allowable, but shall be withheld by the respondent and paid to the Unemployment Insurance Reserve Fund or the applicable welfare agency."
3. The fifth paragraph of the administrative law judge's ORDER is deleted and the following is substituted therefor:
"Within 30 days of the expiration of time within which an appeal may be taken herein, the respondent shall submit a compliance report detailing the specific action taken to comply with the commission's Order. The compliance report shall be directed to the attention of Kendra DePrey, Labor and Industry Review Commission, P. O. Box 8126, Madison, Wisconsin. The statutes provide that every day during which an employer fails to observe and comply with any order of the commission shall constitute a separate and distinct violation of the order and that, for each such violation, the employer shall forfeit not less than $10 nor more than $100 for each offense. See Wis. Stat. § § 111.395, 103.005(11) and (12)."
4. The portion of the decision immediately following the fifth paragraph of the administrative law judge's ORDER and prior to the date line is deleted.
The decision of the administrative law judge (copy attached), as modified, is affirmed.

The Wisconsin Fair Employment Act prohibits an employer from engaging in any act of employment discrimination against any individual on the basis of arrest or conviction record. Wis. Stat. § § 111.321 and 111.322. However, the law contains the following relevant exception:
"Notwithstanding s. 111.322, it is not employment discrimination because of conviction record to refuse to employ or license or to bar or terminate from employment or licensing, any individual who:
1. Has been convicted of any felony, misdemeanor or other offense the circumstances of which substantially relate to the circumstances of the particular job or licensed activity. . . ."
Wis. Stat. § 111.335(1)(c)1.
In drafting the above-cited exception, the legislature sought to strike a balance between society's interest in rehabilitating criminals and its interest in protecting citizens. See County of Milwaukee v. LIRC, 139 Wis. 2d 805, 821, 407 N.W.2d 908 (1987). In County of Milwaukee the Wisconsin Supreme Court opined, in relevant part:
"This law should be liberally construed to effect its purpose of providing jobs for those who have been convicted of crime and at the same time not forcing employers to assume risks of repeat conduct by those whose conviction records show them to have the `propensity' to commit similar crimes long recognized by courts, legislatures and social experience.
"In balancing the competing interests, and structuring the [statutory] exception, the legislature has had to determine how to assess when the risk of recidivism becomes too great to ask the citizenry to bear. The test is when the circumstances, of the offense and the particular job, are substantially related."

A determination as to whether the circumstances of a criminal offense are substantially related to a particular job requires assessing whether the tendencies and inclinations to behave in a certain way in a particular context are likely to reappear later in a related context, based on the traits revealed. It is the circumstances which foster criminal activity that are important, e.g., the opportunity for criminal behavior, the reaction to responsibility, or the character traits of the person. Id. at 824; Goerl v. Appleton Papers, Inc. (LIRC, October 5, 1992).
In its petition for commission review the respondent argues that the complainant was convicted of "injury by conduct regardless of life," which provides that, "Whoever recklessly causes great bodily harm to another human being under circumstances which show utter disregard for human life is guilty of a Class C felony." The respondent maintains that the character traits revealed by the complainant's conviction include a lack of concern for the safety and well-being of a child; disregard for human life; extremely poor judgment; a propensity to lash out in anger without considering the consequences of his actions; a propensity to use whatever means is at hand to injure or attempt to injure another individual he is angry with; and a lack of decency or compassion in coming to the aid of a child who has been severely injured, and that these traits are substantially related to the position of Boiler Attendant Trainee. The commission has carefully considered the respondent's argument, but finds it unpersuasive.
In considering the issues raised in this case, it is important to note that the crime "injury by conduct without regard to life," of which the complainant was convicted, no longer existed as an offense after 1988 and, since then, the analogous criminal statute has been entitled "reckless injury." See Wis. Stat. § 940.23. (1) It is the definition of "first-degree reckless injury" which the respondent now argues should be applied in this case. Based upon the statutory definition to which the respondent refers, the circumstances of the complainant's conviction suggest, essentially, a tendency to engage in acts of gross recklessness without regard to the consequences. Thus, the respondent is basically correct in its assertions that the criminal traits displayed by the conviction include a lack of concern for the safety and well-being of others, a disregard for human life, and extremely poor judgment.
The commission, however, does not agree with the respondent that the circumstances of the complainant's criminal conviction include a propensity to lash out in anger without considering the consequences of his actions, a propensity to use whatever means is at hand to injure or attempt to injure another individual he is angry with, or a lack of decency or compassion in coming to the aid of a child who has been severely injured. The criminal statute in question addresses recklessness rather than deliberate violence, and while the traits revealed by the conviction may include gross negligence or indifference to the safety of others, they do not encompass a propensity to intentionally inflict harm on others, nor do they include a failure to come to the aid of injured persons. Indeed, it appears that some of the criminal tendencies which the respondent would seek to ascribe to the complainant by virtue of his conviction relate not to the elements of the crime itself, but to the individual facts and circumstances of the incident which resulted in the conviction. However, as the respondent has accurately noted in its brief, as a general rule the circumstances of the offense are to be gleaned based upon a review of the elements of the crime and an inquiry into the factual details of the specific offense is not required. County of Milwaukee v. LIRC, 139 Wis. 2d. 805, 823-824, 407 N.W.2d 908 (1987). (2)
Having concluded that the criminal traits revealed by the complainant's conviction include, generally, a tendency to act recklessly without regard to the consequences or for the safety or well-being of others, the question to decide is whether those traits are likely to reappear on the job of Boiler Attendant Trainee such that the risk of recidivism is too great to ask the respondent to bear. The commission is unpersuaded that this is the case. The job description presented at the remand hearing suggests that, for all practical purposes, the Boiler Attendant Trainee position is janitorial in nature. While it is conceivable that an individual with a tendency to act recklessly and without regard to the consequences of his actions could engage in harmful behavior in virtually any job, the commission sees nothing about a janitorial position that poses a greater than usual opportunity for criminal behavior. To the contrary, the Boiler Attendant Trainee job was not shown to be a particularly safety-sensitive position, nor one in which the complainant would be entrusted with an extremely high level of responsibility, and the commission is unable to conclude that it presents any particular or significant risk of recidivism for the complainant.
In arriving at this conclusion the commission does not find that, as a matter of law, work as a boiler attendant could never be considered substantially related to a criminal conviction for conduct regardless of life or reckless injury. The respondent, however, has failed to present sufficient evidence to demonstrate that this is the case. In its remand order the commission specifically advised the respondent that it was unwilling to infer a substantial relationship based upon the mere proximity of children in the building, where the respondent presented no evidence establishing how much actual contact the complainant would have with children and under what circumstances. The commission also asked the respondent to present evidence establishing whether operating a boiler would require the complainant to utilize dangerous materials and would entail a high degree of responsibility and, if so, to demonstrate how those circumstances relate to the circumstances of the complainant's conviction. Although given a specific opportunity to establish the existence of a substantial relationship between the circumstances of the complainant's conviction and of the job at issue, the respondent failed to present evidence that would permit a conclusion that any such relationship exists.
Regarding his contacts with children, at the remand hearing the respondent's witnesses testified only that the complainant would have "access" to children in the schools and would be in contact with students. While the respondent argues that this testimony leads to the conclusion that the complainant would have been in frequent contact with young children, the commission disagrees. If, in fact, the complainant's contacts with children would have been "frequent," as the respondent now asserts, it seems likely that one of its witnesses would have mentioned this at the hearing, particularly since the respondent was represented by counsel and had been specifically advised that it should present evidence at the remand hearing regarding the frequency of the complainant's likely contacts with children in the position in question. To the contrary, the commission concludes that the complainant would have had only sporadic contact with children and, further, that sporadic contact with children is not a circumstance shown to foster criminal conduct on his part. While there are certainly types of criminal convictions which could conceivably render an individual unsuitable for employment that entailed any contact with children, no matter how incidental, (3) such a theory does not apply in the instant case. Although the complainant's crime incidentally involved harm to a child, it was not specifically targeted at a child and was not a conviction involving circumstances that pose a particular risk for children. (4)
In addition to the lack of evidence establishing that the complainant would have anything approaching frequent contact with children, no evidence was presented to suggest that the complainant would be responsible for the safety or well-being of children, or that his interactions with school children would be anything more than incidental. A boiler attendant is not expected to supervise or assist children, nor to chauffeur them, counsel them, or otherwise assume responsibility for their welfare, and the mere fact that the complainant might sometimes pass students in the hallway or on the playground is insufficient to permit a finding of a substantial relationship in this case.
Turning to the question of whether the Boiler Attendant Trainee position would have required the complainant to utilize dangerous materials or would entail a high degree of responsibility, the sole evidence presented by the respondent on this point was that it uses numerous chemicals in the schools, such as floor cleaners, insecticides, and chemicals for the treatment of boilers, that the complainant would have had access to those chemicals, and that he would not necessarily be supervised when using those materials. This evidence, on its own, is insufficient to warrant a conclusion that the circumstances of the job would pose a particular risk of harm, even for one with a tendency to engage in reckless conduct. While in its brief the respondent suggests that the complainant might use chemicals or other materials to cause injury to individuals in the school, the commission is unpersuaded that the mere unsupervised use of cleaning products and insecticides gives rise to a reasonable fear that the complainant would be likely to cause injury to others.
In its petition the respondent also makes the argument that a substantial relationship exists by virtue of the fact that section 48.65 of the Wisconsin statutes prohibits persons convicted of injury by conduct regardless of life from being able to operate licensed day care facilities in Wisconsin or from working in regular contact with children at a licensed day care center. However, while the legislature evidently arrived at a policy judgment that an individual convicted of virtually any violation of chapters 940 or 948 is unsuitable to become licensed as a day care center or to work in close contact with children at a licensed day care center, this does not necessarily mean that the legislature also considers such individuals unsuitable to hold employment as boiler attendants at elementary schools. There is a significant difference between a job requiring direct responsibility for the care of infants and preschoolers and one which involves coincidental contact with grade school-age children, and the commission sees no basis to equate the two. Moreover, if the legislature had intended to bar such individuals from employment at elementary schools, it could have drafted legislation accomplishing this.
The commission recognizes that the respondent, a school, must be extremely careful in its selection of staff. However, this exigency must be reconciled with the fact that laws exist which are designed to protect individuals from discrimination in employment, including individuals convicted of criminal activity, and that those laws cannot be nullified simply because the employer happens to be in the business of running a school. The legislature did not choose to exempt schools from the conviction record provisions of the Fair Employment Act and, lacking any genuine basis for concluding that the complainant's criminal conviction record is substantially related to the job in question, the respondent is not permitted to discriminate against him, regardless of the fact that it operates a school. Because the commission concludes that the relationship between the complainant's criminal conviction and the boiler attendant job is tenuous and remote, notwithstanding the presence of children in the building and the proximity to cleaners and solvents, it finds that the respondent may not discriminate against the complainant by denying him the position in question.
The administrative law judge ordered that the respondent hire the complainant for the next available position as a boiler attendant, (5) with backpay to the time when he would originally have been hired, but for the act of discrimination. The respondent takes issue with this portion of the administrative law judge's order. The respondent argues that, although the complainant took a test and was among the top ten candidates for the position, he was rejected before being interviewed, and there is no evidence to establish that he would have been the successful candidate had he been allowed to continue on in the application process. It maintains that the appropriate remedy is to put the complainant back in the same position he would have been in, by placing him among the top ten eligible candidates for the next available position of Boiler Attendant Trainee, at which point he would be allowed to interview for the position and establish that his qualifications are superior to those of the other candidates. The commission rejects this argument as without merit.
Once the complainant proves discrimination, back pay should be awarded unless the respondent establishes by clear and convincing evidence that, even in the absence of discrimination, the rejected applicant would not have been elected for the open position. Silvers v. LIRC, Dane Cty. Cir. Ct., Case #83-CV-3644, February 13, 1984. Where the evidence presented by the respondent on that point is speculative, the commission will resolve the uncertainty against the discriminating respondent. Silvers v. Madison Metropolitan School District (LIRC, July 25, 1986). Here, the complainant established that he tested within the top ten applicants and, further, that he had previously been hired for and performed the very job in question. Thus, it is apparent that the complainant is qualified for the position. Although the respondent may have had reason to believe that other applicants were better qualified than the complainant or that there were other non-discriminatory reasons which would have rendered the complainant ineligible for the job, it failed to present any evidence on these points at the hearing, and the commission is unwilling to speculate that this would have been the case. Consequently, the commission agrees with the administrative law judge that instatement into the position, with backpay, is the appropriate remedy for the harm suffered in this case.
The respondent also argues that the administrative law judge's backpay order should be modified to provide offsets for interim earnings and other statutory offsets. Here, the commission agrees. Wis. Stat. § 111.30(4)(c) specifically provides that interim earnings or amounts earnable with reasonable diligence by the person discriminated against shall operate to reduce back pay, and that amounts received as unemployment benefits or welfare payments shall be withheld from the person discriminated against and immediately paid to the unemployment reserve fund or the welfare agency making the payment. The commission has modified the administrative law judge's decision accordingly.
NOTE: The commission has enclosed a worksheet to assist the parties in calculating the appropriate backpay and interest amounts.

(1)( Back ) The elements of the crime "injury by conduct regardless of life" were as follows: "Whoever causes great bodily harm to another human being by conduct imminently dangerous to another and evincing a depraved mind, regardless of human life, is guilty of a Class C felony." The change from this statute to the "first degree reckless injury" statute was intended, at least in part, to recognize the fact that the concept of "conduct evincing a depraved mind, regardless of human life" is a difficult one to comprehend, inaccurately implying that a clinical mental disorder is involved. The aggravating element in the new statute, "circumstances which show utter disregard for human life," was intended to codify judicial interpretations of "conduct evincing a depraved mind, regardless of life." See Judicial Council Note to Wis. Stat. § 940.02 (1988).
(2)( Back ) Moreover, even if it were appropriate to consider those factual details, the commission would be disinclined to find them substantially related to the job in question. Although one could reasonably conclude that the facts and circumstances of the criminal act itself demonstrated a propensity to act violently and to lash out in anger, it is difficult to envision a situation in which those traits would manifest themselves in the job of Boiler Attendant Trainee, a position which was not shown to be particularly stressful or emotionally taxing, and the commission sees no reason to believe that anything about the circumstances of the job would be likely to foster further violent outbursts on the complainant's part. To the contrary, the complainant's criminal act arose in the course of a domestic dispute involving his girlfriend, a matter unlikely to replay itself in a school setting. Thus, even if there were a reasonable basis to consider the factual details of the complainant's offense, the commission would be disinclined to find that those details supported a finding of a substantial relationship between the crime and the job at issue.
(3)( Back ) For example, one might reasonably argue that a criminal conviction for violation of Wis. Stat. § 948.07 (child enticement); Wis. Stat. § 948.10 (exposing genitals or pubic area to a child); or Wis. Stat. § 948.605 (gun-free school zone law), should serve to bar the individual so convicted from any and all contact with school-age children.
(4)( Back ) The commission also notes that the complainant worked for the respondent as a Building Service Helper for approximately sixteen years, from 1979 through 1995, apparently without incident. While the record does not contain a job description for Building Service Helper, the commission sees no reason to believe that the position involved any less "access" to children than would the job at issue in this case. The fact that the complainant worked as a Building Services Helper for a significant period of time without criminal incident would seem to suggest that the mere "access" to children is not a circumstance likely to foster repeat criminal activity for the complainant.
(5)( Back ) The commission has modified this portion of the administrative law judge's order to require instatement to the position of "Boiler Attendant Trainee," the correct job title for the position in question.

OAKLAND, Calif. — Of all the things Kevin Correia has experienced since being drafted in 2002, the veteran right-hander had never been traded before.
That changed late Saturday night, when Correia was informed after the Twins' 9-4 loss to Oakland that he had been traded to the first-place Los Angeles Dodgers.
The Twins will receive a player to be named or cash for Correia, who should step into the back of the Dodgers' rotation in the wake of injuries to Josh Beckett and Paul Maholm.
"You don't get to do a lot of firsts at this point when you've been playing as long as I have," Correia said of the trade. "I guess I can add that to the list now."
Set to turn 34 two weeks from Sunday, Correia went 14-26 with a 4.49 earned run average in his two seasons with the Twins. Signed to a two-year, $10 million deal two winters ago, he made quality starts 55.6 percent of the time (30 of 54), never missed a start and set a professional example for a team in transition.
"He's been a pleasure — nothing but a pleasure," Twins manager Ron Gardenhire said. "Last year he was our best pitcher, our most consistent pitcher. This year, I know he had some ups and downs, but he always seemed to give us a chance."
It was about more than that with Correia, of course. At 5-13, he was tied with San Diego's Eric Stults for the majors' lead in losses, but Correia never let his frustration boil over or seep into his treatment of others, including the media.
When the media was allowed into the Twins clubhouse after Saturday's game, seemingly half the team was gathered around Correia's locker, wishing him well and smiling at his good fortune to be joining a pennant race.
"A great guy in the clubhouse, a pleasure to be around, very professional," Gardenhire said. "One of the guys you're going to definitely miss out there. He was a quiet guy but yet he meant a lot to a lot of people out there and he pitched very well for us. He did a real nice job for us. I wish him nothing but the best."
In joining the Dodgers, Correia will be reunited with Dodgers general manager Ned Colletti and head trainer Stan Conte. Both were with the San Francisco Giants through the early part of Correia's career.
"It's a good situation," Gardenhire said. "He's going to a team in a pennant race, which is good. He deserves that."
Right at $1.5 million remains on Correia's contract. The Twins typically don't pick up any of the remaining obligation, and considering the Dodgers' wherewithal it's unlikely the Twins are sending along any money in this case either.
"It's always tough leaving guys you've played with for awhile," Correia said. "They become good friends of yours, but it's nice to go somewhere and be able to play some important baseball games at the end of this year. It's a place I'm very familiar with, so it's exciting."
Correia has a career mark of 4-2 with a 4.04 ERA in 49 innings (14 games, seven starts) at Dodger Stadium. That's his third-lowest ERA of any park in which he's worked more than 20 innings.
"That's a division I'm familiar with, and there's a couple familiar faces over there," Correia said. "It's not going to be a completely foreign situation for me. I think that will help."
The chance to help the first-place Dodgers reach the postseason and potentially to make his first postseason appearance carries great appeal for Correia.
"That's why you play the game," he said. "I'm getting toward the end of my career, and you want to play in some meaningful games. I'll have the opportunity to do that over there."
Correia, a San Diego native and resident, had nothing but positive words for the Twins, with whom he was openly interested in signing an extension this spring.
"I enjoyed every minute of it," he said. "The guys on the team, the coaching staff, everything was great. I wish we would have won more games, obviously, but besides that I couldn't have enjoyed the time any more in Minnesota and in this organization."

Hi All, Apologies, yesterday was a National Holiday in the UK which I had forgotten about. I would like to quickly update you on what we are doing though and also to manage expectations a little. Firstly, although I would like to see more of our data in RDF there is no internal mandate for this as of yet. It is possible this will shift in the near future, but what Tomasz and I are trying to do is really find an hour here and there to do the transform. So we are looking at ways to this via a path of least resistance. The way we are currently trying is via a transform on the XML results using XSLT and the model I presented to the group several weeks back. I'm hoping we'll have a prototype in the next week or so but really I can't promise. Rest assured, I will let you know as soon as we have anything worthwhile but I wanted to manage what people expect so as not to disappoint. Our recent efforts to get funding to do this in a more dedicated manner were not successful so it's very much as we get some spare time (which is not a lot!). So it's not that we're not interested, indeed the opposite is true, it's just funding dictates other priorities at the moment. But we're trying. Cheers, James On 30/05/2011 15:25, M.
