While Metrorail technicians were preparing to get services up and running on the central line on Thursday morning, a train derailed between the Heideveld and Netreg stations, causing more delays on the route.
The central line has been suspended since last week following a fatal shooting of security guard at Khayelitsha Chris Hani station.
EWN reporter, Lauren Issacs says preliminary investigations show that the derailment was partly due to vandalised infrastructure in the area.
Issacs is at the Bonteheuwel substation where there have been reports of vandalism.
The damage caused to this substation is shocking. There is nothing left on the actual substation...— Lauren Issacs, EWN reporter
Prasa acting CEO Cromet Molepo confirmed that train derailment was caused by stolen track switches.
Molepo says bucket shops are a major problem and they are working closely with the Saps to ensure safety.
Read: Prasa acting CEO tells "hooligans" that their days are numbered
The team worked very hard to ensure that we were in a position to resume services this morning, but overnight the railway clips and switches were stolen.— Cromet Molepo, Prasa acting CEO
We are putting together a number of plans of action to gradually reintroduce the railway police under the command of the Saps.— Cromet Molepo, Prasa acting CEO

We provide the best and unique judi online slot machine games in Asia; Slot games are games that are provided on the Online Casino website where closing game decorations have been issued for participants who win the game. To win the match, it requires some effort and time. Efforts typically used in this sport are researching suggestions and strategies that can be used to develop into slot game players. You can find that site in here : http://www.idnslots33.co/.
Here are some tips and tricks used in playing with slot games;
We provide the best and unique online slot machine games in Asia.
Players must understand the basics that support the performance of their slot machines, so this may need to ensure the winner in the slot machine. It is absolutely impossible for a player to make an estimate of what will happen next in a slot game. It's important to say that roll rounds at events are usually independent.
There is that random number generators are all made in a way where the casino website has a mathematical advantage over the players. If it happens that the participant stays in the casino playing with sports, then the casino will win in the end, because that's how the game is made.
A non-functioning Slot Machine Package
A number of approaches that sound like successful techniques are misleading, so they don't work at all. This is just one of the preferred strategies that doesn't make sense. The thinking behind that is that gamers need to start looking for some machines to be able to try to find a blueprint to use in playing sports to win. Players must be aware of the symbols on the reel that exist only for the show, the whole strategy will be totally destroyed.
All of this, taken as a tool to ensure that participants are winners, but in real perception, this fact is different. The concept of the plan is that participants are expected to set a winning goal as well as the amount of cash they will want to be shed at the casino.
This plan aims to limit the amount of cash that a participant can drop into the slot machine if the machine is rather cold, and he should turn over the casino site once the tool does not. It is clear that the machine becomes hot or cold in a certain period of time, so the cash management system approach is not relevant in this particular game.
Play for fun because the house has mathematical benefits that are difficult for players to conquer players must play in hopes of eliminating the match.
Prevent progressive unless you are determined to get it. Payment of innovative decorations is less through the possibility of getting a significant prize as the amount of cash obtained continues to increase over time.
Don't play rent money. This suggestion is typical, and anyone with common sense must understand it. Players Cannot play with website slot games professionally, Don't play slots at the airport. Games at the airport will be the worst to enjoy. Therefore players are advised to prevent such games and wait patiently for the best casinos to play with their matches.

Cheers guys,
One thing I find distracting is text out of focus, like the dash, unless I look directly at it. This is just VR right? not my eyes?
Someone said I should refund it from Oculus and get it on Steam, I'm not really an online multiplayer person so maybe I wouldn't miss out? I also only use an Xbox pad so by no means an serious sim racer person.
It was 10.99 on Oculus for GOTY ed, and the cheapest I can find it to activate on steam is around £16. So not sure if that extra 5 quid is worth it just for the possibility of multiplayer?
I have the same issue...Just got the game yesterday on Oculus Home, and today checked out the multiplayer section...ZERO players. Should I get reimbursed and move to Steam? I am a casual player too...
Reimburse and get pcars2 on steam. It's just as easy to start the game in home as you have the desktop and 3rd party icons now show up.

Orioles right-hander Chris Tillman was placed on the 10-day disabled list with a lower back strain Friday, opening a spot in the team's rotation and leaving open the possibility that Tillman could find his form and one day reclaim it.
It became clear after Thursday's game, when Tillman recorded four outs and allowed six runs (five earned), that the Orioles were at a crossroads with him. He'd resisted a DL stint at times last season, and his $3 million contract this season isn't nearly as prohibitive as the $10.05 million owed to him last season.
He even said after Thursday's start that he wasn't dealing with anything physical.
Going on the DL might be what keeps him in an Orioles uniform, though. When manager Buck Showalter spoke to the media before Friday's game, he indicated a decision was imminent on Tillman's future. He spoke as if a goodbye was looming between the Orioles and the pitcher that left fielder Trey Mancini said was a face of the club's renaissance this decade.
"When you have the type of background that we all have with Chris, you pull for all your players, but at some point, whether it's a coach, a manager, a pitcher, a position player, this is … we know what the job description is," Showalter said. "Nobody knows that better than Chris. It's very frustrating to watch what he's going through on a lot of fronts."
That frustration has stemmed really since Tillman pushed through shoulder pain for the 2016 stretch run, returning to pitch in September and make the team's wild-card game start against the Toronto Blue Jays.
He debuted a month late in 2017 as shoulder soreness shut him down in the spring, but he never found the form that allowed the Orioles to rely on him over the previous five seasons. He's made 31 appearances (26 starts) since the start of last season, and has an 8.42 ERA in that span.
Showalter on Friday also shot down the idea of Tillman pitching out of the bullpen in the short-term.
"A lot of it is more than just physical, I've found," Showalter said when asked whether he'd seen a fall like this before in his career. "A lot of it is. That's why you see guys leave a place and do real well. That doesn't mean they don't like that place or aren't happy there or didn't like their teammates or coach or manager or trainer. It's just the emotional and mental side of this as much as the physical part of it. I've had players in the past, sometimes, where I've said it's not going to happen here, but it may. In fairness to him, let it happen somewhere else.
"At some point, we're always going to say, 'What's best for us,' and be selfish with it. 'Sorry, I know you'd like to go start somewhere else, but we like you here as a reliever.' But there will come a time when he'll be able to do that. But I've found with most things like this ... there's other things going on other than just physical sometimes."
Álvarez ailing
Designated hitter Pedro Álvarez, who left Thursday's game with a hamstring injury, will require another day before the Orioles make a decision on whether he'll go on the DL.
"Most of the time, those hamstring cramps, the first humid day — usually they're not just a cramp, but every once in a while, they are," Showalter said. "So, we'll give him another day. I'm not going to expand on his availability tonight, but he's going to get out some and move around a little to see about his availability tonight. But he's going to be active tonight."
Yacabonis added
The first of what could be four roster moves for the Orioles this weekend came when they added right-hander Jimmy Yacabonis on Friday.
Yacabonis, 26, has been working as a starter at Triple-A Norfolk, making six starts with a 4.95 ERA. He appeared once in the major leagues this season, allowing three runs on two hits and two walks in one inning April 7.
Showalter said if the team was creative, they could make as many as four moves this weekend. Counting adding Yacabonis as one, they can also add a 26th man for Saturday's doubleheader, possibly place Álvarez on the DL, and are able to send outfielder Anthony Santander down Saturday when his Rule 5 draft requirements are met.
The 26th man must stay up through both games, and could stay after. They can also make a move in between games.
Around the horn
Right-hander Darren O'Day (elbow) felt better Friday, Showalter said. … Showalter and several players wore Washington Capitals hats before the game ahead of the the first game of the NHL Eastern Conference Finals against the Tampa Bay Lightning. "If Tampa Bay was playing the Nationals, we'd really have it, right?" he said.

Analytics & Performance: ANALYZE THIS
Sure, analytics are great to have – but how do you use them to further the success of your campaigns?
What do they actually do?
As of 2016, this is the question you should really be asking.
In the digital age of marketing, ROI, CTR, impressions, clicks, likes, shares and more are all the rage; decades ago, terms like data-mining analytics, SEO analytics or Insights weren't a thing.
With advertising and marketing primarily running in a digital funnel, having the right data for your services is everything.
- How many impressions are your Twitter posts generating?
- What's the engagement looking like for your LinkedIn page?
- What on Earth are you spending on your ad budget for your newest AdWords campaign, and how can you maximize said budget?
- Your landing page: to click-through, or not to click-through?
These are just a few of many questions that arise while mining your analytics and running the numbers.
The overall question we ask ourselves, regardless of the data collected, is:
How can we use this data to implement changes in our marketing that benefit our company?
In "Numbers On The Board," we'll illustrate how exactly you can use your analytics to make these changes within 3 realms to boost your marketing: Click-Through Rates, Impressions and Quality Score.
A Primer On Analytics
Numbers don't lie; if you don't have the analytics you need–get them. If your agency isn't giving you these metrics, you should be demanding them.
only friends best friends at Wikipedia describe analytics as the "discovery and communication of meaningful patterns in data," ie. meaningful. Aside from portfolio and risk analytics, to name a few, we're specifically talking about digital analytics within the realm of marketing optimization in this article.
Regarding analytics, apps, and programs for tracking data include:
- Facebook Insights
- Twitter Analytics
- Google AdWords/Analytics
- Iconosquare
- LinkedIn Analytics
And many, many more. The overall goal of various analytical systems is to determine things like engagement, impressions, conversion rates, click-through rates, shares, likes, etc.
With these values, we can segment the data by things like geography, time, gender–heck, even preferences–in order to determine changes that have happened over time due to according changes in marketing approaches.
Whether it's keyword choices, UX/UI on a landing page or mobile optimization for ads, the data collected helps us make changes that will further our marketing efforts, in turn leading to better conversion rates, click-through rates, and more.
And THAT, is why we're here.
Click-Through Rates & Analytics
Simply put, a click-through rate dictates how often a viewer clicks through to your website through a third party app, ad, banner or search engine. Mathematically, it's clicks/impressions to generate a percentage:
In an AdWords campaign, each ad and tab has
First impressions really ARE everything–especially when it comes to analytics for Twitter, Facebook
In the context of digital advertising, an impression is when an ad or piece of media is fetched from a search engine, app, or extension of search engines like the Google Display Network.
Differences in impression counts can be quite useful to track the reach of your ads and campaigns; take impressions counted through Facebook Insights, for example.
By adjusting keywords in your posts, demographic settings and/or content, you can improve the number of impressions that you achieve and thus, extend the reach of your content to broader audiences. Score!
Quality Over Quantity (Score)
Ahhh, quality score: the most overlooked aspect of any keyword/ad campaign.
To refresh your memory, quality score measures the quality of your ads based on a number of factors: Expected CTR, keyword relevance, and overall landing page experience.
As a metric, quality score is easier to understand; with scores ranging from 1-10, a higher quality score is key for a few things: creating a quality experience for the user, and simultaneously lowering your cost (CPC) on keywords for better ad budgeting. Not to mention better ad positioning on Google Search pages!
Who doesn't want more money? You do. We all do; especially in the realm of online ad buying.

Hospice and End of Life
It was early June, our wedding was just days away, when the phone rang. It was the hospital informing me my mother was in the hospital, again. This had become so routine over the last few years that it usually didn't alarm me. But this time they said it was different. They said they had discovered…Read More

Note: class is 9:00-12:00 and 1:30 to 4:30 every day
Mick Napier for first session:
Mick was mumbling to himself when he came in. He wore low top tennis shoes, baggy jeans, a long wallet chain, a black wife beater he had cut off to show the top of his underwear ($50 says on purpose), and a Boy Scout baseball hat that never stayed on his bald head.
He casually introduced himself, his theater, and his book while talking with his head down and cocked to one side; however, his eye contact was absolutely otherwordly. They say that if you were to travel in a straight line through the universe, you would end up exactly where you are—making eye contact with him felt like that. It was really strange. If Eckahrt Tolle had a Dark Side/Darth Vader counterpart, he would be Mick Napier.
He then went into talking about how he's an alcoholic who doesn't drink right now and 5 pack a day chain smoker who doesn't smoke right now. He also mentioned that he's a 48 year old bisexual who's in a 15 year relationship with Jennifer, director of the Annyonance and his friend's ex-wife.
The CT group later talked about it, and the consensus was that his eyes were saying "help me." He's an intense dude. I hope he finds peace.
My goal for coming to the Annoyance intensive was to work on
a. honesty--doing the TJ Jagodowski work of using honesty to inform real choices instead of relying on invention
b. reacting emotionally—coming from a place of honesty to connect with my scene partner emotionally
c. to have fun while using a. and b. (honesty and reacting emotionally)
His diagnosis for me was to "rip open my phyiscal space," do more of what I was already doing physically, but instead of thinking about the physical stuff (i.e. it would be fun to walk or talk a certain way), have fun by getting into my body instead of my head and let my physicality inform everything.
When I mentioned that this leads to me playing caricatures instead of caricatures, he gave a great example about TJ. He said that when TJ looks shifty and bewildered, it's because he is just soaking up what that feels like and lets that inform everything else about him. The internal dialogue is probably still. He's just literally being shifty and bewildered.
He said that a lesser improvisor could look the exact way on the outside (shifty and bewildered) and instead be thinking of what the next move is, what this says about the relationship to the scene partner, how this could somehow tie to the organic opening, etc.
He said that using my body and feelings in a healthy way actually does the work of a. choosing honest and real moves, b. reacting emotionally, and c. having fun.
This also ties into Hess' thing—taste the pasta. Don't just act like I'm eating the pasta. Choose the meal I would really want to have in front of me and enjoy it...and the audience and my scene partner will enjoy it with me.
Mick also gave this great equation he said was his untested hypothesis: "The more importance you put on the improvisational experience, the less likely you are to play."
I think sums up everything about me in the past 15 months.
I've wanted to be so good at improv (reading every book that's recommended to me, taking every workshop, writing down all the notes I can, etc.) that I've taken all the fun out of it.
I had been thinking about taking classes via Hideout or Merlin Works when I graduate in a couple of weeks from CT, but now I realize I don't need anymore rules or knowledge right now.
I just want to play for a while and remember how it feels to just have fun with all the toys I've picked up. It's time to start treating what I've learned like toys instead of tools.
Besides his way of diagnosing us, the other thing I really liked was his way of giving notes: he said he hates and avoids telling people to not do certain things. Instead, he cuts through the bullshit by telling someone to notice when they are doing x, but to focus instead on doing y (note: a part of this is straight out of Inner Game of Tennis, although Gallwey takes it even further...).
Lunch at Crew, gay sports bar, with Mick
Awkward for so many reasons, namely that he sat next to me and kept talking about how much he liked to suck boys' dicks.
Rebecca for second session (she was so into our scenes and exercises that she was unabashedly rocking back and forth and completely enthralled and even mirroring everything we were doing throughout the entire week...she's playing with Switchboard at OOB. I can't wait to see her in action).
Oddly enough considering my note from Mick, her entire thing was about physicality. She said that this is far and away the one muscle all improvisors seem to be lacking.
The best exercise we did was walking around while she called out
a. body parts,
b. animals, or
c. adjectives.
I'm still trying to figure out which of these triggers is best for me during actual scenework.
Note: she said she does not say "lead" with your body part b/c she does not want us to actually walk with our knees out in a weird way and be thinking about what this says about our character.
We should instead "focus" internally on the body part so that other internal things like emotions and memories will bubble up naturally.
Rebecca said
1. first, check in with yourself
2. then, go to your scene partner
3. then, go to your environment
She prioritized this and showed how we can build a world by going in that order.
This note came from people going to their environment when they got nervous instead of making eye contact with their partner.
Rebecca said that, for her, all of improv is:
1. taking care of yourself
2. connecting with your scene partner
That's it.
Gem of a quote from Rebecca (via someone else I can't remember): "The first 3 seconds of the scene is your promise to the audience of who you are going to be."
Monday Night Show:
Messing with a Friend free show with Michael Thornton at Steppenwolf. Note: Thornton had a wheelchair, so she had one too to use on and off in between scenes.
First time I've ever wanted to cry during improv. Also, the funniest show I've ever seen. Amazing.
There was a scene I'll forever remember as "the Jesus" scene where a girl with a short leg and speech impediment was visited by Jesus. It was better than any sketch I've scene. So incredible.
Note: one of the highlights of the trip was getting to talk with Susan two days later about her incredible show.
She broke down exactly what was going through her head during each of our favorite moves (hint: nothing at all. She was just focused on giving herself a POV via physicality and vocalization).
I've always wanted to know how certain players feel about their work afterwards. Since I don't get to these shows every week, I wanted to know if that was average, special, really amazing, etc.
She agreed that the show was/felt really special and that she wishes she had had that one recorded, specifically because of the Jesus scene.

Absence of a regular menstrual cycle is also known as amenorrhea, and a woman suffering from this condition may miss one or several cycles. Doctors differentiate two types of amenorrhea, primary and secondary. When a woman hasn't had a menstrual period by the age of 16 the medical term to describe this condition is primary amenorrhea. Secondary amenorrhea means that the period(s) you had regularly has stopped for some reason.
Most people, especially women, think that pregnancy is the only reason that could explain the absence of menstrual period, but it's not like that. Pregnancy is only one of the possible explanations, if the woman is sexually active. However, many other factors may attribute to amenorrhea, whether primary or secondary.
Causes of Primary Amenorrhea
About 1% of American girls (older than 16 years of age) haven't experienced menstrual cycle. The problem may appear in adolescent girls who lack female reproductive organs. Fetal development problems in these girls may lead to absence of some of the important organs of the reproductive system, such as vagina, cervix or uterus, leading to primary amenorrhea.
Structural problems of the vagina may cause existing monthly bleeding invisible. Some girls may have a membrane or a wall in their vagina, preventing the blood out of cervix or uterus.
Chromosomal abnormalities are another potential problem leading to primary amenorrhea.
Hypothalamus and pituitary gland problems can also cause this medical problem in young girls. If the hypothalamus is not working properly a woman will miss her period. Problems with hypothalamus may be caused by eating disorders, physical and psychological stress or a tumor. Tumor of the pituitary brain is also known to cause lack of menstrual cycles.
What Provokes Secondary Amenorrhea
This type of amenorrhea may also be caused by some normal or pathological processes in the body.
As already said, in sexually active women pregnancy can cause lack of menstrual cycle. However, if you are underweight, exercise too much, experience some intense stress in everyday life or start breastfeeding your child you can also suffer from secondary amenorrhea.
Other factors that may provoke this condition may include the use of certain medications, such as contraceptive pills, chemotherapy drugs, oral corticosteroids, anti-depressive or anti-psychotic drugs.
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) or uterine scarring (also called Asherman's syndrome) might also be responsible for amenorrhea. Thyroid problems and pituitary tumor symptoms are also associated with the absence of menstrual cycles. Menopause is also well known as primary ovarian deficiency, and some women may experience first signs (including amenorrhea) even in their 40s.

Gold Medal Wine Club Video Review
Here's the Gold Medal Wine Club review of our 2008 Russian River Valley Chardonnay
Here's the Gold Medal Wine Club review of our 2008 Russian River Valley Chardonnay
Summer is barbeque season, and there is nothing like ribs and Zinfandel to celebrate. Here's how we do it at Taft Street.
Serve with slaw, pickles and lots of Taft Street Zin!
Fine summer weather has been the rule for the past several weeks, but the damage may have already been done. Late rains during flowering caused shattering in many vineyards, and growers are predicting reduced crops this harvest season. But predicting crop size and quality is a notoriously difficult proposition, so we shall wait and see. In the meantime, bottling for our custom crush clients is keeping us busy.
Winemaker Evelyn spent a warm and busy day in Sacramento recently, pouring our GOLD MEDAL winners – 2007 Mendocino Ridge Pinot Noir Garagistes and 2008 Russian River Valley Chardonnay Garagistes – at the California State Fair. I spent a few days in the Southern California market, and was quite pleased with the progress achieved by our newest sales rep – Mosha Rastgar. Our team of Mosha, Diana and Clayton are creating a market unmatched anywhere.
Work is continuing on our new picnic and event center. The area behind the Tasting Room is being transformed into a multiuse playground. The architectural firm of Tierney – Conner Design is creating areas for dining, petanque, music, bonfires and a whole lot more. The spot will be ready by midmonth, and we are planning an event in conjunction with the Tasting Room for mid September. Will keep you posted.
With summer at its height there is much to do in Sonoma County. Live music in an outdoor setting is a daily occurrence. The Russian River is full of kayakers, the roads host thousands of bicyclists, and tourists arrive from all over the world. What's the draw? It's the wine. Visit our Tasting Room and see why the Russian River Valley is one on the Wonders of the World.
Mike Tierney
President, Taft Street Winery
We welcome visitors to our tasting room. Open Monday through Friday from 11 AM to 4 PM daily. Open weekends 11 AM to 4:30 PM.
No need for appointments with groups under six.
The $10/person tasting fee is waived with purchase. Tastings are complimentary for President Club members.

Was Charlie Manuel firing a blessing in disguise?
A couple evenings ago, I was discussing the Charlie Manuel firing with a friend and expressed my honest opinion at the time. "Firing Charlie—even in the clumsy way that the Phillies did it—may have been the best thing for him."
In the meantime, I've thought about this a little more, and now would add, "Hey, this may have been the best thing for the team as well."
No, neither of these thoughts was influenced by the Phillies' string of exciting walk-off wins—the likes of which we haven't seen in years. Admittedly, though this is garbage time, it does the heart some good to see the boys showing some life. But, it's not really all about the few extra victories they may be accruing under Ryne Sandberg that may not have been achieved under Manuel's continued regime.
My thought also wasn't influenced by anything resembling ill will toward Charlie, who has only had one losing season—this one— among his nine campaigns in South Philly.
And, let me add one more disclaimer of sorts: I stand by my initial reaction that the Phillies—courtesy of General Manager Ruben Amaro, Jr.—owed Charlie Manuel better than to give him his pink slip with 42 games left in the season.
Didn't the Phillies owe Manuel—who piloted the club to five straight division titles, two World Series appearances and that one awesome parade—the chance to play out the string? Wouldn't the Phillies fans still want to show some appreciation for the man who presided over the greatest period of sustained excellence in this tortured franchise's modern history?
Well, yes, and yes. But, it's not quite that simple.
Outside of the above considerations, the 2013 Phillies were, to be kind, in quite a tailspin when Amaro pulled the trigger on Charlie. They were 53-67, 20 games behind the first-place Atlanta Braves (who have suffered tough injuries of their own this year) and the worst team in baseball since the All-Star Break.
Wasn't it a foregone conclusion that Manuel had become the ultimate lame duck, with almost no chance of returning to manage the club for a tenth season? And wasn't it a poorly kept secret that Sandberg was in wait to take the reigns in 2014? How many of you—barring a miracle stretch of baseball that would have transformed this team into the 1927 Yankees or even the 2011 Phillies—would have opposed this inevitable move?
If you follow this premise, then the question becomes: Could Manuel have done anything in those final 42 games to preserve his job? While it's speculative, the strong suspension is No, this season was a lost cause.
While I do not question that Charlie would've given what amounted to garbage time his best effort, there wouldn't be much reason for a suddenly success-spoiled Phillies Nation to tune in. Way back when, it might have been cool to see the 1986 Phillies spoil the juggernaut New York Mets' division celebration, but this nucleus of players and manager had achieved so much more than that bunch. Would there be any value of seeing this lethargic squad pile up more losses just so the knowledgeable fan base could give their beloved manager a nice sendoff before piloting the club to season-ending series in Miami and Atlanta?
Do I need to answer that…
Admittedly, the way the firing was handled smacked of a Phillies franchise that, just yesterday, seemed to always say and do the wrong things. During that postseason drought between 1993 and 2007, Bill Giles once grumbled that the Phillies were a "small-market team."
On a more serious note, perhaps you recall how the Phillies responded with blatant insensitivity after pitcher Brett Myers was arrested for allegedly assaulting his wife in Boston. That was in 2006, the year before the franchise put together five straight NL East titles, and also seemed to get almost everything right—on the field and off.
This latest PR bath was a temporary black eye for the Phillies, but perhaps the best thing for Charlie Manuel. The move made Manuel an even more sympathetic figure to fans, and served to focus all of the disappointment and wrath on Amaro. (This may be worthy of its own separate column, but I am of the opinion that Amaro deserves to both have a short leash and take the heat for this move. I also can't kill him for his overall record as the team's GM.)
While we mourn for Charlie, we should also celebrate all that he brought to this franchise, and to this town. We came to love him, even if he was not the best game-day manager we've ever seen. Obviously, his players loved him…still do…and he did a lot of things right over the years to engender that kind of respect and love. I have yet to hear a bad word about Charlie (the man) from any fan, and it's clear that Manuel loves baseball, loves the Philadelphia region and loves Phillies fans. Those are three terrific reasons that he should be adored in this town for eternity.
Yes, all that, and helping us become the World Champions of Baseball and getting us our first major professional championship in 25 years. Of course, coaching and managing us to a world championship is not exactly an annual occurrence around these parts. In the last 45 years, the only other men who could claim such status are Fred Shero (twice), Dallas Green and Billy Cunningham. Ouch!
So, Charlie will be okay, and while it would probably be a dream to have him associated with this franchise in another capacity, it would also be nice to see him stay in the game—even if elsewhere. And, he should get a special night at Citizens Bank Park next year and receive an even stronger ovation than he would have received on September 22, 2013 (had he managed out the string). One other silver lining is that Manuel was able to notch his 1,000th career win (counting his stint in Cleveland), becoming only the 60th manager in the history of the game to do so.
As for the franchise, why not use these last 40 or so games to give Sandberg some seasoning, and get a closer look at Darin Ruf, Cody Asche and company? It's way too early to reach any definitive conclusions, but so far, so good.
That's another reason that I stand by my point. The clumsy, seemingly unfair canning of Charlie Manuel may have been the best thing for Charlie, the fans and the franchise as a whole.
For Ruben Amaro, Jr? Not so much.

The late Peter Whelpton (1969, Economics) had a vision to transform the lives of young people living with some of the most extreme hardships. He recognised that young carers, those with a disability, care leavers, and those with other difficult personal situations, face substantial barriers to reaching university. They often lack the financial support, networks and encouragement that their peers may enjoy. Peter also recognised the transformational impact that a university education can have on young people's futures. With Peter's generous gift the York Opportunity Awards were set up at the University of York in 2010. A scholarship of £1,100 per year for three years is provided to each York Opportunity recipient – those undergraduates coming to York having faced these significant barriers to entering higher education.
In the last seven years over 60 undergraduate students have benefited from the generosity of Peter and other donors like you who have since been inspired to contribute to this incredible fund. The impact of these gifts is enormous. For the students it is a recognition of achievement and promise, and a boost in confidence that has often been missing from their lives. The Award also reduces the pressure to work in part-time jobs, and provides vital funds for books, computers, work experience, and offers the possibility of overseas study and travel.
Peter sadly died in December 2016 but his extraordinary legacy means that 13 York Opportunity Awards will be offered each year for the foreseeable future. This means that 1 in every 15 applicants, rather than 1 in 40, will be supported during their studies at York. The need is still great and we continue to seek out others who may be inspired by Peter's vision.
"Receiving this scholarship has given me the confidence, motivation and peace that I have needed to complete my studies at the University of York."
Joanna, third year
"As a student with a chronic illness, before coming to university I was extremely concerned about the potentially huge impact on my studies of having to work part-time as well as studying. The York Opportunity Award has allowed me the financial freedom to not need to do so, which has undoubtedly been responsible in large part for the high grades I have managed to achieve so far during my degree. The award has allowed me to focus my too often limited energy on my university work as much as I have needed to and to achieve great results, and has even allowed me the chance to engage with extracurricular and social activities, which I wouldn't have been able to do otherwise."
Alice, third year
"Without it I would not have the finances to travel, have new experiences, build my CV and help others by teaching in a primary summer school programme in Cambodia. This is the third year in a row I have visited this school. I see the children from previous years growing and it is an absolute privilege to be a part of this. None of this would have been possible without your generosity. Many of my university-going friends from London are astounded to hear of the tremendous, big and small, acts of kindness York does for its students. You are a huge part of that and I would really like to say a massive thank you for this. As I look forward to graduating this year and joining the alumni community, I hope I can do the same for others at York in due time."
Maja, third year

The $1,000,000 Goal
We Did The Math
It turns out that there is a pretty nice "break-even" point. I calculated that if we reach the $1,000,000 goal in the year 2030, we could never contribute another dime to our retirement accounts and we will end with ~$3.1mil at 59 ½ years old. Half a million short of our ultimate goal, but well within having our needs met.
Just "FI" For Us Please
I know a lot of blogs and websites are focused on extreme frugality and achieving FIRE (Financial Independence Retire Early). However, we're not really interested (at this point) in the "RE" part. Both my wife and I really like our jobs. I work in an industry that I am passionate about and have the ability to positively impact millions of people with the work that I do. I am very fortunate that I have this job and get paid very well to do something that I care about.
Not moving into a house like this any time soon.
We plan on keeping the house that we bought 6 years ago and not downsizing. If possible, we'd like to continue to update/upgrade our home to suit our needs and wants. There aren't any plans to switch to all public transportation or biking to work. There are many other legitimate and effective ways to reduce lifestyle spending, we just aren't interested in them right now. To the people that do take on some form of ultimate frugality, more power to you. Often I am greatly motivated by your success and frugal achievements.
I know we could really go nuts being frugal and house hacking, double our savings rate, etc. But trying to do those things now with a family are out of the question (for us).
We're Frugal In Our Own Ways
What we will be doing is finding ways to maximize our dollars by doing some renovation/updating ourselves. Being smart with our energy consumption and making sure that there are some house updates that put money back into our pocket over time (adding insulation to our attic, putting up solar panels). Not buying new cars just because they hit 100,000 miles. Be smarter about our grocery and food bill. Generally, spending less than we earn, even after we put the retirement money away in their respective accounts.
We plan on celebrating smaller milestones on our way to our $1,000,000 retirement nest egg. The goals and when we should hit them are:
- $250,000 by 2020
- $500,000 by 2024
- $750,000 by 2027
By breaking down the big goal ($3,600,000 in 26 years) to several smaller goals, and then more goal steps under them, you don't have to just look at the big number and the long amount of time. You can look at your next goal and know that you just have to make it there.
The First Domino
Once we hit our $1,000,000 goal in 2030, it will give us more options with our money. If we, for whatever reason, needed to stop saving for retirement and put that money elsewhere, we would have the freedom to do so. We could be secure in the fact that our comfortable retirement would still happen.
The way I see it though, is that hitting that goal is the beginning on our retirement planning. I can start looking towards life after this career. It will be like reaching the top of a mountain and knowing I just had to trek downhill. I can imagine the lack of stress I will feel about my performance, and how freeing that will be.
But I've got 4,330 days until I get there, and there is going to be a lot of hard work between now and then.

The Jefferson Award: Beverly Burns, alternative medicine
Bay Area Jefferson Award winner: Beverly Burns, co-founder of Oakland-based Charlotte Maxwell Complementary Clinic, which provides health care to low-income women.
How she started: In 1989, Burns and other health-care providers formed a group to increase access to alternative-health treatments such as acupuncture, herbs and massage to low-income women with cancer. After two years, the group became licensed for primary care and opened the Charlotte Maxwell Complementary Clinic -- named for a social worker who died of cancer in 1988. Volunteer providers treated seven clients in the first month. "There was much more hesitation about complementary-care providers back then," said Burns. "Then, after visiting the center, they went back to Highland Hospital or Kaiser and told their doctors how beneficial it was for them. Doctors started slowly referring clients to us."
And now: In the 1990s, the clinic added a food bank and began offering social services, exercise training and lifestyle education. In December, a second clinic opened in San Francisco. When ailing clients are unable to visit the clinic, health-care workers provide in-home treatments. The clinic's 250 volunteers treat 300 women. More than 1,000 clients have been served since the clinic opened 15 years ago. Burns, who also practices at the University of California at San Francisco, says "I want to provide the level of care I give to my patients at UCSF to my patients at Charlotte Maxwell. We aren't always there, because it takes resources. But that is our goal."
Her inspiration: Burns says witnessing her clients' progress and hope is her key motivation. "The privilege of having that intimacy -- to share with them on a physical, spiritual and emotional level -- provides me with fuel to keep wanting to do more."
Vitals: Burns, 47, lives in Oakland's Fruitvale district with her partner, Lynn Fountain, and their 15-year-old daughter, Sarah. They also share their home with a friend, Mary Tagliaferri, and her two young children, Tulio and Lumina. She has a private practice at the Lotus Center in San Francisco and also works at the Osher Center for Integrative Medicine at the University of California at San Francisco. She has a master's degree in traditional Chinese medicine from the San Francisco College of Acupuncture and an undergraduate degree in biology and chemistry from Converse College in South Carolina.
Who has made the most impact on her: Carol Zambel was a client at the Charlotte Maxwell center for six years before she died of cancer in 2000. "I felt like I was part of her family," said Burns. "She was so committed to doing different things to get better. She was very inspirational, trying to do whatever she could to improve her quality of life. She was able to share her life and her heart with me, and that was a wonderful gift."
In her own words: "In the Bay Area cancer community, studies show between 70-90 percent use complementary treatments. Not only is there more acceptance for them, but there is also evidence of their efficacy at reducing the nausea and fatigue from traditional treatments like chemotherapy."
What others say about her: "She's an angel in disguise," said Karen Shore, who lives in San Francisco's Cole Valley. Shore, 59, was diagnosed with advanced lung cancer in 1999 and told by doctors to get her affairs in order. Receiving acupuncture, acupressure and massage treatments at the center rejuvenated her body, and positive visualization helped her get through painful medical procedures and helped her to focus on getting well. She says she is now in complete remission, and credits in part the care she received from Burns. "She showered me with words of encouragement. Every time I went to the center, I went home thinking I would get better. And I did. I can't begin to describe the gratitude I have for her and the clinic and what they do, especially for low-income women. I hope they are around forever."
To find out more: Call (510) 601-7660 or visit www.charlottemaxwell.org.The new San Francisco clinic, at 2601 Mission St., will host an open house at 5 p.m. Jan. 26.
Editor's note: The Jefferson Award stories move to the Style section beginning Jan. 22.
Each week, The Chronicle features a Bay Area resident who has won a Jefferson Award for making a difference in his or her community. The awards are administered by the American Institute for Public Service, a national foundation established in 1972 to honor community service. Bay Area residents profiled in The Chronicle will also be featured on CBS5-TV and KCBS-AM , which -- along with The Chronicle -- are Jefferson Award media partners.

Pennsylvania, Maryland, Delaware & New Jersey Flood Insurance
A flood is a devastating event that can ruin everything that you have built for yourself and your family, make sure you are protected with Sorella Insurance's flood insurance policy. With Sorella Insurance's Flood Insurance you will have coverage and compensation for the destruction and financial devastation caused by floods. Despite how innocuous a few inches of water can look, any amount of water penetration can cause serious damage that may result in thousands of dollars of repair and restoration costs that you would be responsible for without flood insurance. Flood insurance policies through Sorella Insurance Agency can protect you from having to deal with undue stress and financial burden.
Different types of policies are available based on your property's location and flood history:
- Standard Flood Insurance Policies
If you live in an area that participates in the NFIP, you can be covered by a standard flood insurance policy. To be considered an area that is eligible for NFIP status the waters must cover at least two acres or affect at least two properties. You must apply for building coverage and contents coverage separately if you choose to invest in a standard flood insurance policy.
- Preferred Risk Flood Insurance Policies
If you are in a home or business with low to moderate risk zone, your building may qualify for a low-cost preferred risk policy that might be better suited to your flood insurance needs. A preferred risk policy will protect your home and its contents if you are affected by a small flood or a larger flood that has extended into your low-risk area. In truth, many flood insurance claims occur in low-to-moderate risk areas, since those areas are the least prepared to deal with floods.
Contact Sorella Insurance today to ensure your residence is not affected further when dealing with flood damage with our comprehensive flood insurance policy.

Doctor knows best? Some demythologising remarks from a discourse analytical perpective
Seminar with Florian Menz
When physicians are asked what makes their jobs strenuous, astonishingly it's almost always communication problems they mention: Patients can't be stopped from talking, patients do not get to the point, patients do not communicate in a clear and precise manner. These patterns, they say, make it difficult to cope with patients, all the more if the schedule is tight.
However, is it really the patients who are to be blamed or are there other reasons? This presentation will examine some of the preoccupations doctors have with their patients, and show empirical findings from recent research that suggest a somewhat different interpretation.
Florian Menz (Dr. phil. Dr. habil.) is Professor of Applied Linguistics and Sociolinguistics at the University of Vienna (Department of Linguistics) and currently Head of Department. Combining CDA with sociological systemic approaches, his main research interests include institutional language use, with a focus on medical and business organisations, gender and power-related aspects of interaction, medical interaction in multilingual contexts, and interactional representation of pain. Additionally, since 1986 he has been working as a communication supervisor in various institutional contexts (school, hospital, court, public health organisations). Florian Menz is author (or co-author) of a dozen monographs and about 70 scientific articles. Recent research work focused on multilingual communication between health care providers and patients with a special interest on decision making and informed consent in medical encounters.
