The union boss for the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department on Tuesday stepped to the defense of deputies arrested in misconduct at county jails, accusing the FBI of waging a "vendetta" against some of them and adding that some of their behavior was authorized by higher-ups in the department.
The FBI has filed charges against 18 deputies alleging various types of misconduct, including abusing inmates and visitors and trying to intimidate a federal agent.
L.A. Professional Peace Officers President Brian Moriguchi criticized the way the FBI arrested sheriff's Lts. Gregory Thompson and Stephen Leavins, the highest-ranking officers accused of trying to obstruct a federal investigation into alleged corruption and civil rights violations at Men's Central Jail.
"The FBI sent SWAT teams out to their homes at 6 in the morning," Moriguchi said. "Thompson's wife was brought outside in her pajamas and handcuffed in the freezing cold, which is completely unacceptable when these individuals were no risk to the federal agents and would have surrendered any time the FBI asked them to."
"It makes me suspect the FBI was sending some sort of message that 'if you want to treat us badly, then we want to treat you badly'," Moriguchi added. "We do not object to any investigation – we just ask that fair treatment be given, and that this is not some vendetta of the FBI."
FBI spokeswoman Laura Eimiller denied the allegation that the FBI was particularly heavy-handed against the lieutenants.
"I checked and no SWAT teams were used at these arrest locations," she said, adding, "Any tactical decisions are made for safety of officers and defendants, and not based on any other suggested motivation."
The federal grand jury indictment claimed Thompson and Leavins were part of a conspiracy to hide a jailhouse informant from the FBI.
Members of that group allegedly tried to hide an FBI informant from the FBI by falsifying records to make it appear he'd been released, when he was actually being held in a different location under a fake name. They also allegedly went to the home of an FBI agent in an attempt to intimidate her into divulging details about the investigation.
Moriguchi believes they were merely following orders.
"I don't know whether their actions were appropriate or not, but I can say that . the alleged conduct of the two lieutenants would not have been done of their own volition," Moriguchi said. "There had to have been somebody higher up who either authorized that type of conduct, or actually instructed or ordered them to do that."
Sheriff Lee Baca's spokesman Steve Whitmore declined to respond to the union allegations.
"I'm not going to comment on an individual's speculation," he said. "The federal investigation is still ongoing, and Sheriff's Department is cooperating fully."
Meanwhile, more information is emerging about another of the deputies arrested Monday.
"At least one of the people indicted is among the worst deputies we know of – Fernando Luviano," said Peter Eliasberg, legal director of the American Civil Liberties Union of Southern California, which has served as a court-appointed jail monitor for almost 30 years.
"We've heard (Luviano's) name come up in connection with beating, intimidating, harassment of inmates," Eliasberg added. "It amazed me that he continued to be employed by the department."
A few years ago, the county and the department paid $475,000 to settle a lawsuit filed by an inmate who accused settled Luviano and other deputies of excessive force.
Michael Holguin said the deputies beat him with their fists and flashlights, putting him in the hospital for three days with staples in his head, bruises, lacerations, stitches in his face and a broken leg.
"It feels good," said Holguin of the indictments. "Just because they wear a badge doesn't mean they're above the law."
Gabriel Carrillo accused Luviano and other deputies of beating him when he visited his brother at Men's Central Jail in 2011. His lawyer, Ron Kaye, said Luviano's indictment gave his client "a sense of vindication."
Meanwhile, Inspector General Max Huntsman, appointed earlier this month to provide oversight of the Sheriff's Department, said he would strive for reforms once the criminal cases are finished.
"As that concludes and resolves itself, then we'll be able to step in and take care of the larger issues, because criminal prosecutions never really address the fundamental issues or policy matters, they just address whether or not a particular individual goes to jail."
"I'm happy for the spotlight being shed on things and I'll let that process move forward, but at the same time, we're going to be ready to step in and try to come up with solutions to avoid these issues coming up in the future."

SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) — Tech stocks put in day of broad gains Thursday, with Intel Corp. among the advancers as the semiconductor giants got a late boost after putting out its quarterly results just minutes before the market closed.
Intel INTC, -0.12% shares ended the day up by 2.6% at $22.68 after the company reported a fourth-quarter profit of $2.6 billion, or 48 cents a share, compared withe earnings of $3.4 billion, or 64 cents a share in the same period a year ago. Sales for the quarter ended Dec. 29 fell 3% from a year ago to $13.5 billion.
Excluding one-time items, Intel would have earned $2.6 billion, or 51 cents a share, while analysts surveyed by FactSet had forecast Intel to earn 45 cents a share on $13.5 billion in revenue.
EBay Inc. EBAY, +0.03% also put in an upbeat performance, as its shares rose 2.4% to close at $54.17 after the company's earnings report late Wednesday. For its 2012 fourth quarter, eBay said it earned $751 million, or 57 cents a share, on $4 billion in revenue. Excluding one-time items, eBay would have earned 70 cents a share. Analysts surveyed by FactSet had forecast eBay to earn 69 cents a share on sales of $3.98 billion.
Chief Executive John Donahoe cited eBay's mobile business as one of the key drivers of the company's strong year, as eBay mobile handled $13 billion worth of transactions in 2012 — more than double the amount of 2011. Read more about how mobile is paying off for eBay.
In addition to Intel, other chip stocks gained ground, including Micron Technology Inc. MU, +0.58% Broadcom Corp. US:BRCM KLA-Tencor Corp. KLAC, +0.39% and Texas Instruments Inc. TXN, -0.08%
The Nasdaq Composite Index COMP, +0.02% climbed more than 18 points to close at 3,136, while the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index SOX, +0.07% rose 2% and the Morgan Stanley High Tech 35 Index US:MSH added 0.7%.
Juniper Networks Inc. JNPR, +0.43% ended the day with a gain of 14%, to close at $21.28, in the wake of J.P. Morgan analyst Rod Hall raising his rating on the company's stock to overweight from neutral, and lifting his price target to $25 a share from $21.
In a research note, Hall wrote there is evidence that the slowdown in spending by telecom carriers is at its low point, and "we believe Juniper is poised to benefit from multiple routing-product cycles in 2013."
Hall also raised his rating on optical-networking firm Infinera Corp. INFN, -3.01% to overweight form neutral, saying the company is likely to see more demand for some of its newer optical products. Infinera shares rose 4% to close at $6.79.
But Hall cut his rating on Cisco Systems Inc. CSCO, +0.16% to underweight, or sell, from neutral and lowered his price target on the stock to $18 from $20. Hall said Cisco "is exposed to sluggish enterprise spending," and that he believes the positive investor sentiment and the company's share price "have gotten ahead of themselves." Cisco shed eight cents to close at $20.95. Read more about Cisco's downgrade.
Losses also came from Apple Inc. AAPL, +0.36% and Hewlett-Packard Co. HPQ, +0.10% while Microsoft Corp. MSFT, +1.31% Facebook Inc. FB, -0.28% and Dell Inc. DELL, +0.16% ended the day with small gains.

I have been thinking a lot lately about the cost of things vis a vis their actual value. That's what happens I suppose when you become a grown-up with a mortgage…suddenly all expenditures are brought into sharp focus, to be examined and audited conscientiously. Do we really need this? Can this wait? Will my soul suffer irreparable damage if I do not purchase this immediately?
This is especially relevant with the fast approaching holidays. I don't know how it is where you are, but over here as soon as the –ber (SeptemBER…) months hit the carols start playing at the malls and every store has something bright and shiny to lure you away from your hard earned money. The gift giving here can get a bit over the top, with Christmas lists a kilometer long and gifts to be gotten for every single person you know and some you don't…forcing many into purchases of mass "generic gifts".
In addition to this, little C's 1st birthday is coming up (how time flies!), and although I am beyond excited to celebrate my cherry bomb's first year on Earth, local tradition dictates a big-splash first birthday party. I'm talking party planners, mascots, caterers, shows. And, of course, a professionally designed birthday cake.
Now, I know it sounds like I'm turning all bah-humbug on you but hear me out. As far as Christmas goes, I sometimes feel like it's turned into a merry-go-round of generic gifts and consumer gimmicks – where's the meaning? It's supposed to be the happiest time of the year and I'm stressed because of things that technically should not matter in the grander scheme of things – is that not more than a little ridiculous? I certainly don't want to be cynical about Christmas (or cynical in general)…particularly when I have a little one with whom I want to share the magic.
And don't even get me started on the 1st birthday celebrations. I have already decided to eschew tradition and have a small gathering. At one year old little C will not remember all the hoopla and, I am pretty sure, will enjoy a small gathering of doting family all bent on entertaining her, as much as, or even more than, a gaggle of mascots (which if she is anything like her mother will only serve to freak her out).
So, although it is not the New Years yet, I have decided to make a few resolutions. Simplify. Lessen the expense and increase the meaning. That is going to be my motto for 2011…heck, this is going to be my motto starting right now. A Christmas with less worry about parties and gifts, and more meaningful moments instead. A first birthday with just close family and homemade decorations and lots of love. Finally cleaning out our home of all the "stuff" that we've accumulated that is no longer useful. Oh, and two credit cards on the chopping block. And that's just for starters 😉
Anyway, what does all this have to do with prawns in crab fat? Nothing really, except for the fact that the prawns were a gift from my father-in-law which I stretched over three meals, managing a little savings in our market shopping 🙂
Sugpo sa Aligue at Gata (Prawns in Crab Fat and Coconut Milk)
- 500-600 grams prawns or shrimp, whiskers trimmed but otherwise unpeeled
- A couple of glugs canola oil (or any vegetable oil)
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped garlic
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped ginger
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped lemongrass, white parts only (save the green parts for stuffing a roast chicken)
- 1 white onion, chopped
- 2-3 siling mahaba (green finger chilis), sliced
- 3/4 – 1 cup aligue (crab fat)
- 250 ml or 1 cup coconut milk
- 1-2 tablespoon fish sauce (to taste)
- The juice of half a lemon or 2-3 kalamansi
– Heat oil in a wok or skillet or pot that is big enough to accommodate all your prawns (in either 1 or 2 layers, no more than that). When the oil is hot add the garlic, ginger, lemongrass, and onion. Sautee until onion is soft and translucent.
– When onion is soft add the chilis and aligue. Cook, stirring often, until the aligue softens and oil separates.
– Add the coconut milk and continue to cook until it all melds together. Add fish sauce and lemon/kalamansi juice to taste.
– Lay the prawns in the pan; give it a shake to coat with sauce, cover, and let simmer for about 5 minutes. Check your prawns and remove from the heat as soon as they are all bright orange.
– Serves 3. Or 2 plus 1 serving for lunch the next day 🙂
You want a good balance of saltiness from the fish sauce, and just the right touch of acid from the kalamansi/lemon to cut through the richness of the crab fat and coconut milk, so make sure to taste and adjust. This is not the type of dish you want to eat every day as crab fat is not exactly the healthiest of food. It is fabulously rich and savory though and, in my book, absolutely fine for every once in a while 🙂
It may look like this dish is at odds with my new resolutions…and that may well be the case. But it's also a reminder that despite my goals to simplify my life (saving money, reducing stress, and adding meaning in the process) there will still be times to indulge. I am not wagging a finger at big spenders – by all means, if you've earned it; you have certainly earned the right to spend it. These goals, and the reasons behind them, are solely mine and apply to my life and where I am at this point. I am not going the whole hog here either, forsaking all material things for an ultimately Spartan lifestyle. Only just pared down enough to be mindful of excess that could very well be avoided. But mindful as well of moments when a little well-thought-out indulgence is in order 🙂
My, my. I sure have tripped the light philosophical today. I won't bore you with my ponderings for much longer. If you too would like to simplify this coming year (or have been doing it already) I would love to hear your suggestions!

Losing title will be failure - Kompany
Manchester City captain Vincent Kompany admits the club will have "failed" if they lose their Barclays Premier League title to rivals Manchester United this season, but refuses to blame the missed opportunity to sign Robin van Persie for United's nine-point advantage.
Van Persie was pursued by both Manchester clubs last summer but opted for United and his 22 goals so far - including a last-minute winner in the first Manchester derby - have helped Sir Alex Ferguson's men build a healthy advantage with 13 matches left in the season.
City might sense their title slipping away but Kompany is not giving up the fight. He told the Daily Mail: "Nothing matters apart from being first. Anything below that then you are just another top team that's failed. We are not about to give up but the reality is that we are up against a very good United team."
Questions have been asked about how much City improved - if at all - during a frustrating summer transfer window, with Van Persie's move to United just one of a number of disappointments.
"United hit the jackpot with Van Persie," Kompany added. "But you can't think "What if" about Van Persie. I am not sitting here thinking, "What if we had signed Lionel Messi" either.
"His transfer has made a direct impact but to say he's the reason we can't make it - if it turns out that way - is not correct.
"I still believe we can do this but if we don't, there will be plenty more reasons than the fact we didn't sign one player and another club did."
Kompany has missed a number of recent games through injury, but at least avoided a three-match suspension when his red card for a tackle on Arsenal's Jack Wilshere was overturned.
The 26-year-old Belgium international believes it is vital for the English game that tackling is protected and the game does not go the way of other European leagues.
"It's the way the game is played here that makes it possible for fans from all around the world to watch it on TV," he said. "The intention of what you do - if it's wrong - should be punished severely. I'm clear on that. But let's not ruin the game."

News from the Wyalusing Public Library
What great artwork was found outside the library last Friday morning. The story hour kids had a great time celebrating Spring with sidewalk chalk and their imaginations. We've had many positive comments from patrons coming into the library. I was even enticed to go out and try my hand at hopscotch; what a sight that was.

Speeches from the 2012 Democratic National Convention
Richard Trumka
Remarks to the 2012 Democratic National Convention
Charlotte, North Carolina
September 5, 2012
Good evening, brothers and sisters. I'm Richard Trumka, president of the AFL-CIO. I'm a third-generation coal miner from Nemacolin, Pennsylvania. I'm here on behalf of millions of people who do the work of America.
Last week, Mitt Romney told us that he and his friends built America—without any help from the rest of us. Well, let me tell you, Mitt Romney doesn't know a thing about hard work or responsibility. We are the ones who built America. We are the ones who build it every single day—because it is our work that connects us all.
Look around this convention, at all the hard-working men and women who make this place run—the ones keeping us safe, serving our food, driving our buses, and cleaning up after the party's over. When we go home tonight, the workers will be mopping and vacuuming, and picking up our trash. So when you have a chance, thank a worker! We know that every worker—here in North Carolina, just like in every state in this country, and every country in the world—deserves the right to organize and bargain collectively. And the Democratic platform—unlike its counterpart in Tampa—makes crystal clear that Barack Obama and the Democratic Party will fight to protect and strengthen this fundamental human right.
My friends, our country has a big job to do. We have to rebuild our middle class—together. Our economy works best when it works for everyone, not just a select few. Our history teaches us that shared prosperity is the only kind that lasts. In the 21st century global economy, prosperity requires leaders committed to creating good jobs by investing in our future—in our ports and roads and bridges and airports, in energy and telecommunications, and in our public schools. Leaders who are serious about rebuilding our manufacturing economy. Leaders like Barack Obama and Joe Biden.
We know that the wealthiest and most powerful among us, those who have benefited most in recent years, must do their part to help rebuild America. Prosperity requires economic security. We will stand with leaders who protect and strengthen Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid—not those who plan cuts to benefits working people have paid for, earned and are counting on.
Prosperity requires democracy—starting with the essential right of everyone in this great country to a voice, both in the ballot box and in the workplace. The right to solve problems together and to climb the ladder to the middle class the old-fashioned way, through hard work fairly rewarded. President Obama and Vice President Biden have put the country on the right path—toward jobs and shared prosperity, despite the obstruction they faced from a dishonest, politically motivated, economically challenged republican majority in congress.
We face a choice in November: between division and decline, and unity and growth. We love our country. We built it. We defend it. We wake it up each morning. We make it run, and we put it to sleep each night. Our country needs unity. Our country needs leadership. Our country needs Barack Obama!

The leaker who won't stop talking
Edward Snowden is milking it.
The briefly anonymous leaker has leaped into the public spotlight — and now he's risking overexposure in a big way. Public relations pros and image makers say Snowden's repeated interviews and growing number of claims are making him look like someone who's exploiting his sudden worldwide fame for personal glory, and that threatens to undermine the very privacy crusade for which he said he's willing to give his life.
Story Continued Below
"If I was advising him, the first thing I'd say is shut the hell up 'cause you're not helping your cause," Jim Manley, a senior director at the D.C. public affairs firm Quinn Gillespie & Associates, told POLITICO.
( PHOTOS: Pols, pundits weigh in on NSA report)
"I think he's doing a pretty poor job," continued Manley, a former spokesman for Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid. "I don't think his Q&A [Monday with The Guardian] made him any more sympathetic than he had been in the past. I think he is coming off as — leaving aside some of the issues he's raising, which are fascinating — he's coming across as petulant and arrogant and more than a little bit full of himself."
Crisis management expert Eric Dezenhall quipped, "It's almost as if he's writing a screenplay at the same time he's blowing the whistle."
"I've noticed this trend of people generally saying out of one side of their mouth, 'it's not about me,' but using 'it's not about me' as a device for further making it about them," added Dezenhall, of D.C.-based Dezenhall Resources. "Well, if it's not about you, why the hell are you doing interviews? To me, there's something very packaged about him. I think that that's intentional. It doesn't mean he doesn't have points to make, but a lot of what I'm seeing at this stage in my career, 30 years, there's a more cinematic quality to whistleblowers than there used to be."
( PHOTOS: 10 famous/infamous whistleblowers)
While some experts gave a thumbs down to the leaker who can't seem to stop talking and appears to enjoy putting himself at the center of the story, others credited Snowden with an effective PR campaign, arguing that he's controlled the message and attracted support by portraying himself as David against Goliath.

The motivation to depopulate the planet lies in fear and the mindset of scarcity. The wealthy elite already own almost everything; the fear is that they will lose what they have. The fear is so overpowering that they become hyper-competitive...and willing to murder. Because they think that we think like they do.
Or, they have gotten in over their heads; they have the tiger by the tail. The tiger is angry, they are afraid to let go of the tail, because the tiger, who has been abused, will inevitably turn on them.
Or, they are psychopaths.
Regardless, they live in fear.
When we become organized together, victory is ours.
Please read the short analysis on food here, and on water here.
The United Nations' own documents estimate that the population will top out at 9 billion people in 2050. Population will plateau from then on, into 2300 AD at 9 billion people, because of reduced fertility rates, due to longer life spans (availability of food, water & health care), economics and social reasons.
The problem is not lack of resources, for example 2010-2011 will have the 3rd highest record yield of grains, but prices will soar because of poor distribution. The UN WTO is complicit in manipulating food distribution.
The replacement fertility rate is 2.1 children per woman and the world's aggregate fertility rate has dropped from 2.65 to 2.55 children in the last 5 years.

All Investor Accounting Manager Reports Transitioning to the Service Loans Application
June 14, 2013
Effective June 24, 2013, all Investor Accounting ManagerSM (IAM) reports will be available through the Freddie Mac Service Loans application and Servicers will no longer be able to register for IAM. Effective September 16, 2013, IAM will be retired. We are making this change to provide you with a central source for investor accounting reporting needs. Servicers can currently only access certain investor accounting reports in IAM. Transitioning the remaining reports from IAM to the Service Loans application consolidates the number of sources to access investor accounting information.
Simpler Process, More Options
This transition provides you with many benefits in addition to simplifying access:
- Enhanced downloading options. Users can choose from three formats for downloading reports: PDF, comma separated value (.csv), or Excel.
- Simpler, more intuitive formats. The user-friendly formats offered through the Service Loans application offer a better user experience.
- Same content. Reports will keep the same content, enabling Servicers to reduce errors, synchronize data files with Freddie Mac, and monitor cash position.
- Customized reports. The Create Your Own Report tool will continue to let Servicers create customized reports.
- Longer data retention. Data is retained for over 12 months, in most cases. For more information about report retention, contact your Freddie Mac representative.
Phased Approach
Beginning June 24, the following investor accounting reports, previously available only in IAM, will also be available through the Service Loans application:
- ARM Notification
- Create Your Own Report
- Current Cycle ARM Adjustments
- Loan Level Trial Balance
- Loan Modification
- Negotiated Payoff Report
- Newly Funded Loans
- Newly Transferred in Loans
- Remittance Detail
- S/S Amount Due Drilldown
- S/S Amount Received Drilldown
IAM Report Availability
To ensure we provide you with comprehensive support, reports in IAM will remain available until September 16. During that time, Servicers will be able to access investor accounting reports through the IAM and the Service Loans application. After September 16, IAM will no longer be available and Servicers must access all reports through the Service Loans application.
Accessing the IAM Reports in the Service Loans Application
Current users of the Service Loans application are not impacted by this change. However, there may be individuals within servicing organizations who do not have access to the Service Loans application. To ensure access to investor accounting reports remains uninterrupted, please take the following actions:
Servicers with access to the Service Loans application:
- Simply access investor accounting reports through the Service Loans application as usual.
Servicers without access to the Service Loans application:
- Visit the Service Loans Application Resource Center for instructions on how to register a new user for Service Loans application.
- On or after June 24, 2013, Servicers will not be able to register for IAM, and should sign up for the Service Loans application.
- For access to only retrieve, view and print reports, enroll current IAM users as "Read Only Analyst" in the Service Loans application. Otherwise, choose an appropriate role listed on the Service Loans Resource Center.
- Take advantage of the Help function within the Service Loans Application if you need assistance with reporting.
For More Information
- Contact your servicing account manager or 800-FREDDIE.

I know usually I write about what I am baking. Today is different. Not that I havent been baking... oh my loaves...I have been baking plenty. Today however I was looking around my little culinary slice of the world and I noticed something.
I saw Fred. I have fallen in love with the whimsy of Fred products.
Usually I find these fun treasures at a local shop, which I happen to adore, called Mars & Venus down on Whyte Ave. But I have seen them popping up all over the place. Never failing to put a smile on my face.
I have ice cube trays
and cookie cutters.
among other fun goodies.
I took a jaunt over to the interwebs to see what else Mr Fred had in his repitoire.
Oh My.
so much wanting.
I got all these pics from Fred's Facebook page. you should go check it out! who wouldnt love cooking when your tools are this fun!!!

"The release of greenhouse gases resulting from thawing Arctic permafrost could have catastrophic global consequences," said Dr. Max Holmes, a Senior Scientist at the Woods Hole Research Center (WHRC).
Greenhouse gases and permafrost.
Thawing permafrost releases greenhouse gases (carbon dioxide and methane) into the atmosphere, which accelerate climate change, which in turn cause more thawing of the permafrost.
This may be a fairly slow process, and there is a lot more research to be done in this area.

Mexico City: Mexican archaeologists have discovered in the western state of Nayarit a series of petroglyphs estimated to have been carved between 850 and 1350 A.D., the National Anthropology and History Institute, or INAH, said.
The bas relief carvings have a symbolic character and are attributed to ancient groups from the Aztatlan cultural complex, and they were found at a site called "Cantil de las animas" (Cliff of the souls), in the mountainous portion of Nayarit`s southern high plateau, an area where archaeological finds have been practically unknown.
The carvings appear along a horizontal band almost 4 meters long by 2 meters wide, arranged on volcanic rocks that form a cliff approximately 10 meters high, the INAH said in a statement.
The iconography of the petroglyphs is linked to the pictorial tradition of the Aztatlan culture, which from about 850-900 through 1350 A.D. inhabited mainly the low coastal lands in northern Nayarit and southern Sinaloa state, INAH archaeologist Mauricio Garduno said.

The Verigated Pink Lemon, which is what it says on the label, was planted in August 2010 along with every other type of citrus the guy had.
It didnt like the drought that followed combined with being covered in weeds and dropped most of its leaves.
this is struggling a bit as I think its being over crowded by the Mexican Petunias but I think I cut them all back far enough to give a head start into 2015.
Its doing OK but I think it was being a bit crowded out so I have just back all the Mexican Petunias that were crowding it. Itr does look like its got some newer growth, but not in the area I would preffer.
Hopefully this season it will become established and start to dominate its spot.
Still there.
Not much to shout about really, seems to have sent up a strong stem but not as exciting as the Meyers Lemon. Maybe its a bit too crowded for it? Or maybe theres not enough sun?.
Pretty much as big as it was, no massive growth signs.
It looks a bit lost right now, I guess I can only wait until it looks a bit more tree shaped. It does look like it has some fruit on it though?
Im quite looking forward to lemon juice. The Verigated Pink Lemon should be amongst the group photo somewhere. In the photo to the right taken April 2011 you can just about make out above the discarded paper towel a young fruit? Is it? How exciting!!!
To be honest, its hard to imagine that this has only been in the ground for 1 year, it feels like forever so I shouldnt expect too much, but its definatly doing OK.

1/ Experience Protyping for a Library to the Elderly
Recently a comment that was added to my Library Outpost entry that is worth expanding upon. A user posted a link to the Wiki from his service Design class, and it turns out one of the student projects is a new service model for a Library to the Elderly. The service itself is pretty great, here's a summary for those who haven't already clicked through:
" In shorts terms the use of the service is a following. The users can access the service, when it is offered in their nearby area. They order the requested materials by filling out an ordering form. The user hand in the ordering form at the sub point and within a couple of days, the users can pick up their materials at the sub point. The library retrieves and packs the requested orders and make sure that they get delivered to the sub point. The delivery is taken care of by an elderly assistant, who is hired by the library. This elderly assistant goes to the nearest library or book bus stop, picks up the ordered materials and brings them to the sub point and distributes them When the users are returning the materials, they hand it in at the sub point for the elderly assistant to bring it back to the library."
I think the thing that really got me excited about this page was the diagrams. They are absolutely beautiful, and they do such a great job communicating the service from different points of view. In service design they call this sort of storyboarding experience prototyping. Read a definition from servicedesign.org. As libraries worldwide reassess the way they distribute information and media in the 21st century, experience prototyping is a useful tool for determining what works and what doesn't from the point of view of all the different stakeholders. Have a look at a diagram from the page:
2/ An Event This Week
Going on Tuesday with Maura the Librarian to hear Michael Gorman, James G. Neal & Maggie Jackson "The Book Is Dead! Long Live The Book!" at The New York Society Library. Psyched, this should be a good one, I'll be sure to post some thoughts afterwards.
3/ Microfinancing as a model for collection development.
This is an idea that popped into my head this week that I'm pretty excited about, one that I started kicking around with the Playful Librarian, Panoplyculture, and my buddy Adam who is launching LittleShoot. What if a public library reconsidered collection development using a microloan model? Imagine a site that works similarly to Kiva, but instead of offering microloans to entrepreneurs in developing nations, you offered books and media locally to people who need them? Say a kid in Brooklyn really wants a new manga book or something, but its always checked out at the public library because its new and its hot. He could create a profile and a wish list on the site, and then potential donors could browse the site looking for the person they wanted to help out. The donor then finds this kid and his wish list and in a few clicks purchases the book through Amazon, it gets shipped to the kid, and then when the kid is done with the book it is returned to the library (if it hasn't bee totally destroyed) to add to the collection. The whole transaction counts as a circ for the library, and in essence really takes building the collection back to the community on an indvidual basis. In my opinion, one of the reasons Kiva works so well is because psychologically donors want to feel like they really connected with an individual, one that they see and can understand through a profile and pictures. Its the personal connection that makes the difference. This NY Times article talks about tech with a social mission; earlier today library tech champion Linda Braun tweeted "Do you think libraries can learn anything from Mozilla and the Internet Archive" in reference to the article; perhaps building a platform like this for libraries to add to their existing collection development models would be a possibility?
4/ Everything else
Here's all the other things that have been keeping the mental gears turning this week. This is the blog version of a run-on sentence. I've been meaning to talk about how awesome I think Aaron Schmidt's Social database mockup is over at Walking Paper. C.C. Pugh over at This is Here offered me an interesting comment the other day that I believe relates nicely to Aaron's concept.
"Is it possible to bridge the physical and digital information areas? The emphasis is that discussion is on building a personal data-set, and from all manner of miscellaneous procedures. It's tools will be handy, but desire paths are specific and intentional. Libraries are object-centered social spaces, but their social objects aren't books; they're the links between books."
(of course with Aaron's mockup we are talking about articles, not books- but the point remains the same) Just to be clearer about what desire paths are, look to the Playful Librarian again:
"Desire path is a term used by landscape architects to describe those informal dirt walkways worn into lawns or fields by people finding the shortest distance between two points. This is such a wonderful phrase and like most wonderful phrases could be appropriated meaningfully into other contexts—like, for instance, information science, which counts among its primary mandates information pathfinding."
Does Aaaron's "FindBook" concept take us a step closer to observing, measuring, and learning from people's information desire paths? I say yes it does. Take a look at his mockup:
Moving on from that, I've started digging into some social media marketing strategy stuff, since everything we do is only useful if we find the right way to put it out there and reach people with it. This is unfamiliar territory for me, but partly because I'm currently about to embark upon a redesign mission for a major website, and partly because "web 2.0" is just plain the web at this point, its time to learn a thing or two. Have a look here at a fascinating post on Socialized that describes the difficult transition to this 2.0ness in the marketing field. I wonder how we could measure the effectiveness of something like Aaron's FindBook if our mean of collecting usage data is antiquated and not relevant to the social web?
Finally, as we try to bridge the digital and the physical in creating services, I was really excited by the book Designing audiences, in which Katie Salen (video game designer) creates a physical avatar situation in meatspace with her Karaoke Ice project. Katie says that in creating the project "we asked ourselves, 'How can we combine the notion of karaoke as a participatory medium and the notion of character-as-interface'". The solution? This crazy mute squirrel character that drives around an ice cream truck and facilitates good-times karaoke on the go. Sadly the site I linked you to doesn't do the idea justice, I suggest taking a look at the Designing audiences book, where she speaks with Erik Rodenbeck of Stamen, Stefan Bucher of Daily Monster, and Ze Frank of lotsa stuff.
One last thing: check out Matt Webb's presentation and blog entry about Snap, which basically acts as a web interaction aggregator. I'm still trying to wrap my head around it all. Til next time…

Hi there folks,
I wonder if anybody can help me with a wiring problem that is driving me round the bend!
I'm restoring a 1993 Eunos S-spec and have it stripped out, and have just finished replacing the control stalks (had faulty cancellation-cam) and replaced two blown bulbs in the instrument module.
On reassembly, I have lost all internal lighting in the instrument module, courtesy-lights, and external side lights. The rev-counter is dead, as is the oil-pressure gauge. Everything else is operational.
I have checked the connections, and all of the fuses that I can find. I have also removed an illumination-dimmer which I added, in case it was faulty.
Does anybody else have any ideas? Could the new control-stalk be faulty? Are there any relays which could cause this fault?
Very much appreciate any help!

The Butler Did Indeed Do It
Royals First Baseman Billy Butler joined a rather select club in baseball history last night (September 26, 2009). With his eighth inning double off the Twins Ron Mahay, Billy became just the seventh major league player to ever post a season of 50 or more doubles before the age of 24. The club includes National Baseball Hall of Fame Members Hank Greenberg, Stan Musial and Enos Slaughter along with Alex Rodriguez, Albert Pujols and Miguel Cabrera. Now that's some good company to keep.
The bat Billy used, and the shoes he wore, to reach this impressive milestone are now on display in the Royals Hall of Fame. History never stops being made…
Just A Bit More: Hal McRae set the Royals all-time single season best for doubles when he collected 54 during the 1977 season. Billy has seven more games to play and still has a chance to catch Hal in the closing days of 2009. With 50 doubles, Billy has already assured himself of the second best season for doubles in club history. Third place is a tie with 46 shared by Mike Sweeney (2001) and Hal McRae (1982).
Butler has already posted four games with three doubles so far this year – so he just may get to the record. Good luck Billy…we'll be watching!
(Curt Nelson, Director – Royals Hall of Fame)
1 Comment
I can't wait till Butler joins Brett in the future in the Royals Hall of Fame himself! You have a great blog.

The Bailout Scorecard
Last update: Feb. 25, 2019
Altogether, accounting for both the TARP and the Fannie and Freddie bailout, $632B has gone out the door—invested, loaned, or paid out—while $390B has been returned.
The Treasury has been earning a return on most of the money invested or loaned. So far, it has earned $349B. When those revenues are taken into account, the government has realized a $107B profit as of Feb. 25, 2019.
The TARP$475B
Total Allocation
The Treasury is authorized to spend $475 billion of the TARP (In July 2010, the financial regulation overhaul reduced TARP's spending cap to $475 billion from the original $700 billion.). It has created 13 different programs, to which it has promised $459 billion.
The government committed bailout money to 978 recipients. Those recipients have received a total of $441 billion. A total of $390 billion has been returned.
The Treasury has been earning a return on most of the TARP money invested or loaned. So far, the total return is: $52.5B.
The main sources of that revenue are $23.1 billion through dividend or interest payments, $20 billion from sales of equity or other assets that Treasury acquired (mostly stock in Citigroup); and $9.63 billion through stock warrants which Treasury received as part of most of the investments. When companies pay back the TARP investment, the warrants are either sold back to the company or auctioned off.
When those revenues are taken into account, the government's profit totals $1.83 billion.
While the Treasury has paid out money to 978 recipients, only 780 of those received funds via investments meant to return money to taxpayers. The rest received subsidies through TARP's housing programs – that money (so far totaling $29.1 billion) isn't coming back.
Of the 780 investments made by the Treasury, 633 have resulted in a profit. 138 of the investments resulted in a loss. So far, the profits amount to $48.3 billion, while the losses amount to $17.3 billion. 9 of the investments are still outstanding.
Fannie and Freddie
The total amount invested in Fannie and Freddie so far is $191B.
The Treasury has been earning a return on its investments, which has resulted in a profit. So far the companies have paid $297B in dividends to the Treasury.

Programming Note: Kings-Hawks coverage begins on Comcast SportsNet California at 4:30 p.m.
(AP) -- After months of trade speculation, the Atlanta Hawks ultimately chose to hang on to Josh Smith.
With their leading scorer still in uniform, the Hawks try for a 10th consecutive victory over the Sacramento Kings on Friday night at Philips Arena.
While many expected the Hawks (29-23) to move Smith before Thursday's deadline, general manager Danny Ferry kept him after reportedly pulling out of a last-second deal that would have sent him to Milwaukee. The versatile Smith, who's averaging 17.2 points and 8.6 rebounds, will become an unrestricted free agent after the season.
"We weighed the positives and negatives of each of our opportunities and at the end of the day we felt like the best decision was to stand pat based off some of the things we were looking at," Ferry said.
"We were in an unusual situation where Josh's contract, our cap space and flexibility going forward, having a good team right now, there were a lot of factors that played into this. I think the main factor is we value Josh. I think he's been important to our group this year and we can finish the year strong and hopefully we play well and we're a solid playoff team."
Sitting in sixth place in the Eastern Conference, the Hawks worked out two separate trades Thursday, sending Anthony Morrow to Dallas for swingman Dahntay Jones and acquiring center Jeremy Tyler from Golden State for cash and future draft considerations.
It's unclear if either player will be available against the Kings (19-36), who also were busy before the deadline. Sacramento acquired forward Patrick Patterson, center Cole Aldrich and point guard Toney Douglas from Houston in exchange for Thomas Robinson, Francisco Garcia and Tyler Honeycutt.
"We are excited about the addition of Patrick, Toney and Cole," president of basketball operations Geoff Petrie told the team's official website. "They will add skill and depth along with the potential for a different look to our roster."
Sacramento could certainly benefit from changing things up versus Atlanta, which has averaged 110.4 points during its nine-game run in this series. The Hawks cruised to a 112-96 road win Nov. 16 behind 22 points from Kyle Korver and Al Horford's 20 and 10 rebounds. Smith, meanwhile, scored 19 to go along with eight boards.
Smith entered the All-Star break averaging 26.3 points over a three-game stretch before scoring 10 on 5-of-13 shooting Wednesday in a 103-90 loss to Miami. He added nine rebounds and a season-high nine assists, but the Hawks were outscored 40-17 and committed six turnovers over the final 12 minutes.
"They just came out on fire (in the fourth)," said Horford, who finished with 27 points. "They were hitting some shots and we turned the ball over, didn't take good shots, and you can't do that against a good team like that."
Horford, who's posted three consecutive 20-point games for the first time in his career, is shooting 73.3 percent over that stretch.
The Kings don't carry much momentum into their five-game road trip after suffering a third consecutive loss and 11th in 14 games Tuesday, 108-102 to San Antonio. Isaiah Thomas had 22 points and Tyreke Evans scored 20, but Sacramento shot just 37.8 percent.
"When you don't make shots it makes everything else look bad," said Thomas, averaging 18.6 points and shooting 49.1 percent over the last five games.
"We just got to focus in and try to win every game one at a time. It's going to be a tough road trip, but hopefully we can take care of business."

The victim was identified as Summer Star Elizabeth Krista-Lee Fowler, a member of the Gitanmaax First Nation in Hazelton.
Her body was discovered Wednesday by a man walking his dog.
While the autopsy confirmed the death was a homicide, RCMP aren't saying how the teen was killed.
Police say the girl had been in Kamloops for an undisclosed period of time and had been in contact with associates in the community.
Gitxsan First Nation hereditary Chief Simidiiks is the girl's great uncle and said her death may be connected to drugs.
"If this is related to drugs, I would like to pass the message on to other drug users to try and find a way to get away from this drug business and become a person who would think safe and no longer get hooked on that stuff."
The chief said the girl was known as CJ.
It's still unclear if she had been reported missing before she arrived in Kamloops. (CFJC)

Electrostatic Generator
Electrostatic Generator
All material objects in our world are made up of atoms. Each atom, in turn, has in the middle a positively charged nucleus surrounded by negatively charged electrons. Atoms can become positively charged if they lose electrons or negatively charged if they capture extra electrons. These atoms are called ions. When something is made up of a number of ionized atoms, the thing itself has a charge. Because the charge itself is not moving, it is called a static charge (static means "not moving") or "static electricity." Negatively charge objects will attract positively charged objects. If they get too close the electrons will jump from the negative thing back to the positive thing in the form of a spark. This is a one-time deal; the electrons do not keep flowing, which they do in "current" electricity.
If you ever rubbed your feet on a rug and touched your friends, zapping them with sparks, then you have produced static electricity. Your feet produced frictional energy that stole the electrons away from the rug. If you rub a balloon against your hair, you will notice that the now positively charged balloon pulls your negatively charged hair toward it. You can also stick the balloon to the wall (most surfaces have a slight negative charge, because the electrons are on the outside of the atom).
It was the ancient Greek scientists who first noticed that rubbing certain materials produced this effect, especially a material called amber, a fossilized resin that the Greeks used—and we still use—to make jewelry (in fact, "electron" means "amber" in Greek!). When people became interested in science again in 17th century Europe, they once again tried to study this effect, and wanted a way to produce it in a regular and sustained manner. In the mid 1660s, German Otto von Guericke (1602-1686) made a machine where a ball of sulfur was turned on an axle while a cloth rubbed on the ball's surface. The ball became charged, gave off sparks, and attracted light pieces of straw. This was the first machine for producing static electricity, or the first electrostatic generator. Many developments of electrostatic generators followed. The invention in 1745 of the Leyden jar, an early capacitor, enabled the charges produced by the generators to be stored for large periods of time for experiments. Other improved static charge storage devices and electrostatic generators soon followed. A gift from an English friend to Benjamin Franklin of an electrostatic generator and a Leyden jar led to Franklin's famous electrical experiments.
Even after Alessandro Volta made a source of current electricity available by inventing the battery (the Votaic pile) in 1799, scientists and engineers continued to experiment with static electricity and develop electrostatic generators. For example, in 1840 the English engineer William Armstrong (1810-1900) noticed steam leaking from a boiler. When he went to try to stop it, he got an electric shock. He realized that the steam was giving up electric charges as it expanded into the air. In 1842 he built a steam-powered electrostatic generator that was much more powerful than earlier models. However, by this time current electricity was already being used in the telegraph and in early experiments in arc lighting, so Armstrong's machine remained a curiosity. A little later, though, physicists realized that large amounts of static electricity could help them in their efforts to study subatomic particles. In 1931, Robert J. Van de Graaff built a generator able to produce millions of volts of static electricity. It was really a fancy version of von Guerecke's original machine—a motorized belt ran continuously over a metal brush. In physics, these Van de Graaff generators were later replaced by better machines, but if you go to your local science museum you will probably see a Van de Graaf generator demonstrating static electricity by making some kid's hair stand on end.

Huge Weiner Roams the Streets of Sioux Falls
Yesterday it was the Nutmobile and today the Weinermobile has been spotted around Sioux Falls.
Who knows why my friend Jenay has been running so many errands lately, but she sure has been seeing some unusual sights! After following the Nutmobile into town yesterday, she discovered the Weinermobile today.
We were just on our way home and saw it out the window. Didn't see anyone in it. Apparently all weird 'mobiles' stay at the same hotel that we pass on the way home. Ha!
All we need now is a bun mobile & and a pop mobile for a complete meal and a party curbside!

December 18, 2007
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued a final rule today that requires that manufacturers of over-the-counter (OTC) stand-alone vaginal contraceptive and spermicidal products containing the chemical ingredient nonoxynol 9 (N9) include a warning that the chemical N9 does not provide protection against infection from HIV (the virus that causes AIDS) or other sexually transmitted diseases (STDs).
Stand-alone spermicides include gels, foams, films, or inserts containing N9 that are used by themselves for contraception. Consumers can protect themselves from the transmission of STDs and HIV by practicing abstinence, being in a monogamous relationship where neither partner is infected, and using condoms consistently and correctly.
"FDA is issuing this final rule to correct misconceptions that the chemical N9 in these widely available stand-alone contraceptive products protects against sexually transmitted diseases, including HIV infection," said Janet Woodcock, M.D., FDA's deputy commissioner for scientific and medical programs, chief medical officer, and acting director of the Center for Drug Evaluation and Research (CDER). "Clinical research has shown that N9 provides no protection against sexually transmitted diseases to the woman if her sexual partner is infected with an STD pathogen or HIV."
In January 2003, FDA proposed new warning statements and other labeling information for these products after results from a major clinical study in Africa and Thailand showed that women using a contraceptive gel product containing N9 were not protected against HIV and other STDs and were at higher risk for HIV infection than women using a placebo gel. Because these and other studies have shown that use of products containing N9 cause vaginal and rectal irritation, which can heighten the chance of becoming infected with HIV from an infected partner, FDA's action is based on the need to protect the public health and empower consumers to make better informed decisions about the use of these products.
This rule is being finalized following a public comment period and a thorough analysis of information and views from consumers, health care providers, academicians and industry. FDA is requiring that labeling of OTC vaginal contraceptive/spermicidal products containing N9 bear the following warnings:
Other information in the new labeling includes:
FDA is issuing the final rule to provide a clear, consistent message that N9 is not effective in preventing HIV transmission, and that N9 may actually facilitate transmission of the disease for those who are at risk for HIV/AIDS. This final rule is consistent with FDA's draft guidance for N9 use with condoms.
The full text of the final rule is posted at www.fda.gov/OHRMS/DOCKETS/98fr/80n-0280-nfr0003.pdf

Israel News - Stay Informed, Pray Informed
At least 125 Palestinians in Gaza were wounded while torturing and slaughtering cattle in the streets as part of the Muslim holiday of Eid al Adha, Palestinian media reported.
Gaza has five official slaughterhouses, but wait times were hours long, so a great many Gazans decided to do their own public butchering for the holiday, which is typically accompanied by much feasting.
But, as videos and pictures posted to the Internet revealed, many of the Palestinians did not contend themselves to simply slaughtering the animals, but first engaged in what can only be described as torture.
The cattle predictably responded by attacking their tormenters. The bloody scenes took place on public streets, and photographs showed adults and young children alike fleeing for their lives from the thrashing animals.
Many Gazans later complained that the copious amounts of blood and animal parts left in the streets was creating a health hazard.

Adam Levine + Wiz Khalifa's 'Payphone' Gets a Dance Cover
Neoclubber's dance cover of Maroon 5's new smash 'Payphone' featuring Wiz Khalifa is an imaginative reworking of the breezy, summery song. It's constructed of a female vocal, loads of Auto-Tuning and synths. It's very right now and quite excellent, actually. The falsetto of singer Adam Levine has been swapped out for a female!
But make no mistake. This is not a remix. It's a total reworking of the latest M5 song, with a different spin and genre. It's totally designed for the EDM set and it translates so well because the melody is incredibly strong and gives itself over to an interpretation such as this. Malleable Maroon 5, if you will.
Maybe Levine can recruit Neoclubber — cool name, by the way — to audition for Season 3 of 'The Voice?' She has a unique and unusual vocal style that is not limited to the clubby and synthy scene.

Henschke – Keyneton – Eden ValleyPosted by Martin Field on 21 October 2010 in Wine Travel
Stepping into the venerable cellars at the Henschke winery in Keyneton is a real trip into the past. The marks of generations of Henschkes having been hewn into the stony structures since the mid-nineteenth century.
In the winery are rows of open concrete fermenters still in use after numerous vintages, and the visitor may picture how winemakers in earlier days used gravity rather than motorised pumps to process young wines.

Remember when Tracey first wrote about Jason Wu's new contemporary line, Miss Wu? Well it's finally on Nordstrom.com and available for purchase, ladies! To celebrate, I caught up with the designer himself to chat about the collection and left with a few style tips I had to share.
Choose an LBD with a twist: "It's the quintessential little black dress every girl needs to have in their closet," says Wu, "but it has a draping detail in the front and it's a cotton material, so it's not too warm and isn't overly dressy." Plus, the hint of lace separates it from the usual LBD lot.
Channel a modern day version of your style icon: "Marianne Faithfull was a huge inspiration while creating this collection," says Wu. "One of the key pieces of the collection is a cashmere sweater with lace detail, which is very quintessentially Jason Wu. That idea translated nicely to Miss Wu when paired with this little A-line skirt," which Wu says "is the perfect length that looks good on just about any body type." Suggests the designer, "this is a really good 'walking around in the city' outfit. It's good for lunch. It can take you from the morning to the early evening. It's great for an early dinner kind of a thing."
Add amped up staples to your wardrobe: "In this case, [the top] is a dressier take on the sweater. This one is more of a pullover. The color really brightens up any outfit and can be worn with a pair of jeans or with a mixed print like this," advises Wu.
__Rethink what you consider "ladylike": __ "While the silhouette of the skirt still gives this girl a lot of femininity, the leather material also gives her a little edge," says Wu. "I felt like the contemporary market was mostly black and white and much edgier clothes, and I felt like Miss Wu had a place there and could bring somewhat of a more girlier and feminine aspect. I thought it was a nice addition to what is in the market right now," says the designer. "This is an everyday work outfit *or *with gold accessories, fancy shoes and a clutch she can do casual cocktails or a gallery opening."
Never settle for average outerwear: As you can see, this trench coat is anything but basic. "This is something, that girls are going to want to live in and go back to all the time, year after year," says Wu. "It's a little fancier than your run-of-the-mill trench. I imagine this to be the coat that whenever it starts getting cold, she looks forward to getting out of the back of the closet and she wants to wear all the time and it always looks good."
__What do you ladies think? Are you ladies excited to shop Miss Wu? Head on over to nordstrom.com to check out the rest of the collection now! __

Published January 13, 2015
Mike Carp hit a three-run homer to back seven strong innings from John Lackey, as the Boston Red Sox took down the Cleveland Indians, 8-1, in the second test of a four-game series.
Dustin Pedroia and Jacoby Ellsbury both knocked in two runs for the Red Sox, who bounced back from a 12-3 loss in the series opener on Thursday. Mike Napoli had an RBI and scored once.
Lackey (3-4) allowed just one unearned run on two hits while striking out eight and walking three.
"John had some good intensity tonight throughout," said manager John Farrell. "He's not thinking about anything that's taken place in the past, either performance-wise or injury-wise, and he's going out and competing at a high level right now."
On Friday, the Red Sox placed outfielder Shane Victorino and third baseman Will Middlebrooks on the 15-day disabled list and recalled pitcher Alfredo Aceves and shortstop Jose Iglesias from Triple-A Pawtucket. Iglesias played third base and went 1-for-3 with a run scored.
Cleveland starter Justin Masterson (7-3) gave up five runs on six hits over six-plus innings against his former team. The right-hander, who was a second- round pick of Boston in 2006, brought a scoreless-innings streak of 19 into Friday's game.
"I was hanging a lot of sliders," Masterson said. "I wasn't getting through a lot of pitches like I wanted to. If I didn't hang a slider, I was hitting someone in the back foot with it. I just got in some bad counts. I didn't as feel as good as I would've liked to, but we tried to battle and work through it."
The start of the game was delayed by 44 minutes due to rain, and a light drizzle occurred throughout the contest.
The Red Sox scored all the runs they would need in the second. David Ortiz walked and Napoli singled to begin the frame. Two batters later, Carp smacked Masterson's offering over the wall in right.
Cleveland scored its lone run of the game in the third. Mark Reynolds and Michael Brantley hit consecutive singles to get things started. Following two quick outs, the Indians pulled off a double steal. Catcher Jarrod Saltalamacchia's throw to third sailed into left field, which allowed Reynolds to score. Jason Kipnis walked and stole a base to put men on second and third. However, Asdrubal Cabrera grounded out to keep it a 3-1 game.
Boston tacked on another run in the sixth. Daniel Nava was hit by a pitch and Pedroia and Ortiz singled to load the bases. A run scored when Napoli grounded into a force out.
The Red Sox scored four runs in the seventh to turn the game into a rout. Ellsbury and Pedroia both hit two-run singles to make it an 8-1 contest.
Koji Uehara and Aceves each tossed a scoreless inning of relief to secure the victory.
Game Notes
Indians manager Terry Francona led the Red Sox to two World Series titles during his eight-year stint as the club's skipper. He was let go after Boston's late-season collapse in 2011 left them out of the playoffs, but ended his tenure with a 744-552 record ... Boston also activated catcher David Ross from the 7-day concussion disabled list and optioned catcher Ryan Lavarnway to Pawtucket ... Masterson fell to 3-3 lifetime against Boston ... Cleveland activated first baseman Nick Swisher from the paternity list and optioned infielder Cord Phelps to Triple-A Columbus.
