AMES — Gardeners may be wondering just how, and if, trees, shrubs and perennials survive below-zero temperatures.
They know that the below-ground parts of a tree are kept insulated by a layer of snow, and that is important to winter survival, but the exposed parts of a tree are not so protected. Horticulturists with Iowa State University Extension and Outreach explain the cold hardiness of trees, shrubs and perennials.
To have more questions answered contact Hortline at 515-294-3108 or email@example.com.
What effect does the timing of extremely cold temperatures have on trees and shrubs?
Timing is very important. The cold hardiness of woody plants gradually increases in fall with the maximum cold hardiness occurring in mid-winter (mid to late January). The cold hardiness of woody plants slowly decreases from mid-winter to spring. A temperature reading of -20 degrees Fahrenheit in late November or early March could be quite destructive while the same temperature in mid-winter would cause little or no harm to trees and shrubs that are reliably cold hardy in Iowa.
Our temperature dropped to 20 degrees below zero. What effect will the cold temperatures have on trees and shrubs?
Trees and shrubs that are native to Iowa (or similar regions of the world) are well adapted to our climate and should have suffered little or no damage. However, marginally hardy plants, such as Japanese maple (Acer palmatum), flowering dogwood (Cornus florida) and Japanese flowering cherry (Prunus serrulata) may have sustained damage. The maximum cold hardiness of most Japanese maple, flowering dogwood and Japanese flowering cherry cultivars is -20 degrees Fahrenheit. Damage may vary from the dieback of twigs and branches to the complete death of the tree.
The cold temperatures also may have destroyed the flower buds on flowering quince (Chaenomeles spp.) and some forsythia cultivars, such as 'Lynwood Gold' and 'Spring Glory.' As a result, these shrubs will likely produce few, if any, flowers in spring. Fortunately, the cold temperatures should not have any long term effects on these shrubs. The leaf buds on flowering quince and forsythia are hardier than their flower buds. The shrubs should leaf out normally in spring.
The cold temperatures should have little impact on the flowering of most trees and shrubs. Crabapples, lilacs, viburnums, dogwoods and spireas possess excellent cold hardiness and should bloom normally this spring. Forsythia cultivars 'Meadowlark' and 'Northern Sun' should also bloom well as their flower buds can tolerate temperatures to -30 degrees Fahrenheit.
Our temperature dropped to 20 degrees below zero. What effect will the cold temperatures have on fruit trees?
The cold temperatures likely damaged peach and sweet cherry trees. Peach trees are not reliably cold hardy in much of Iowa. Temperatures below -18 degrees Fahrenheit will destroy the flower buds on peach trees. Temperatures of -25 degrees or below may damage the peach trees themselves. Damage may vary from the dieback of twigs and branches to complete death. The flower buds on some sweet cherry cultivars are slightly more cold hardy than those on peaches and can survive temperatures down to -20 degrees Fahrenheit. Temperatures below -25 degrees may result in branch dieback or the death of some sweet cherry trees.
Iowa gardeners should expect poor crops on peaches and sweet cherries this summer. Additionally, some trees may suffer extensive branch dieback or death. On a positive note, the cold temperatures should not have damaged most apple, pear and sour (tart) cherry trees.
Our temperature dropped to 20 degrees below zero. What effect will the cold temperatures have on perennials?
If covered with snow, the cold temperatures should not have harmed the perennials. Snow is an excellent insulator and protects covered plants. Perennials without a protective layer of snow may have suffered serious damage to their crowns and roots, possibly resulting in the death of some plants.

Support Northshore Senior Center!
Proudly serving Bothell, Kenmore, Mill Creek, Kirkland, and Woodinville since 1972
Northshore Senior Center serves the older adults of Northshore and beyond with its locations in Bothell, Kenmore, and Mill Creek, and Kirkland. Also a full range of activities and classes are presented at the sites to help meet the social, educational and recreational needs of elders and disabled.
Bothell- Address and map
Overlooking East Riverside Drive, Northshore Senior Center's Bothell campus is a vibrant community hub. Our members come to exercise, eat lunch or catch up with friends at the coffee bar. Depending on the day, the multipurpose room houses Zumba classes, line dancing, ballroom dancing or Pickleball. The computer lab is a resource for both the novice and the tech-wiz. Our technicians offer computer classes, tutoring, and even in-home or on-site computer help at low rates. Experienced professionals teach art, writing, estate planning, genealogy, anthropology courses and much more. Some of our friends come to NSC to be physically and intellectually strengthened. Others come for a restful place to read, play pool or do a puzzle. In any case, there are friends to be made here.
See our events calendar, You Tube Channel, and Facebook page to learn about upcoming dances, parties and celebrations.
Health and Wellness- Address and map
Up the road from Sammamish River Park, the Health and Wellness Center and the Bothell Senior Center are connected by our handicapped-accessible sky bridge overhanging East Riverside Drive. The sky bridge facilitates easy transitions between meals in the dining room and workouts in the fitness center. The team at the Fitness Center develop exercise plans tailored to individual needs and medical history.
On the second floor in the Health and Wellness Center is the Computer Center. You can update or practice your computer skills. We have large displays and adaptive keyboards to make life easier for the vision challanged.
The computer center is also the home for Tech Services which offers low cost computer repair.
Down the hall, Tootsie's Parlor services visitors with haircuts, massages, and foot care.
Next door to Tootsie's Parlor is the Transportation office filled with a team that is committed to helping seniors and friends with disabilities reclaim their mobility.
Adult Day Center- Address and map
The ground floor of the Health and Wellness Building is a haven of privacy and care for visitors with mental, social, or physical disabilities. The Adult Day Health Program is state-approved and provides a comfortable social environment for people living with arthritis, diabetes, stroke, isolation, confusion, developmental disabilities, Alzheimer's disease or other conditions. The center features live music, animal therapy, day trips to local attractions including Mariners games, and other fun activities.
The first floor of the Health and Wellness Center is also the headquarters of the Wranglers. The Wranglers offers year-round, inclusive, fun and learning for teens and adults with disabilities.
Kenmore- Address and map
Near Rhododendron Park, the Kenmore Senior Center hosts classes on everything from fitness to finance. However, its main draw is the soothing community atmosphere. Members discuss current events, local issues and personal anecdotes over coffee, art or cards. The Kenmore Senior Center is more a living room than a facility, and for members visiting Kenmore is less an excursion than it is a homecoming.
Mill Creek- Address and map
Mill Creek Senior Center recently relocated to a new location within the Vintage of Mill Creek senior housing complex.
Our classes and clubs are member-initiated and illustrate the array of talents and interests our seniors have. These include chess, photography, Spanish, music and more. We have instructors who teach Tai Chi, Posture Therapy Meditation, Genealogy and computer classes. Mill Creek Senior Center also hosts weekly day trips all over the Puget Sound area, including Mariner Games, Aqua Sox Games, and Casinos.

There's not one magic trick to get your coworkers to open and respond to emails (though we've written a post on how to do it in the past). There's one thing we can all agree on though — headlines matter. Think of your own inbox and the amount of content you receive each day. Some is junk, some is important, some is interesting, some is from important people, and some is from strangers.
So what makes you open the emails that you do open? Often an intriguing headline. "Hey" is going to get looked over if "Are you available for lunch?" is sitting right beneath it. "Monday morning meeting" won't get opened as fast as "Monday meeting cancelled," and "A friendly hello" is not going to be read before "Introduction from our mutual friend Katie Smith" is. FastCompany wrote an awesome piece on subject line tricks and we'd like to share our favorite bits of advice from this article:
- Subject lines with 41 characters or less have the highest open rates.
- Include a call to action or a verb whenever you can.
- Avoid words like help, buy, sale, and free if you want to avoid the spam filter.
- Turn your subject line into a question.
- When emailing a stranger, name drop someone you have in common.

ABSTRACT The bassoon has the ability to play in varying styles across multiple genres with repertoire spanning from the early Baroque era to the present day. Popular and frequently played pieces for the bassoon, such as concerti by Vivaldi, Mozart, and Weber, are frequently performed in recital, yet the rich musical tradition and repertory of Romanian folk music is seldom performed in the recital hall. The main reason for the shortcoming of this style of music in the bassoon repertoire can be attributed to the sheer lack of prominent composers writing original works for the bassoon in Romania compared to …

The dearth of young bassoonists in America can be felt at every level of expertise, whether it be at professional levels where there are fewer qualified bassoonists compared to other woodwinds, or in local communities where interested pupils cannot find a teacher to guide them. In order to alleviate this scarcity, we must solve the problem at its root: young bassoonists. There have been many attempts to provide better instructional material for beginner-level bassoonists and to produce better reeds to entice more students to study the bassoon and to sustain their playing beyond the first few years. These attempts, however, …

Nino Rota was a prolific composer of twentieth-century film and concert music, including the Concerto for bassoon and orchestra in b-flat major. Composing over 150 film scores for directors such as Federico Fellini, Francis Ford Coppola, Henry Cass, King Vidor and Franco Zeffirelli, Rota received distinguished acclaim from several film institutions, professional film reviewers and film music experts for his contributions to the art form. Rota also composed a great deal of diverse repertoire for the concert stage (ballet, opera, incidental music, concerti, symphonies, as well as several chamber works).

Mostly Good
So first the bad news.
The cable seems to be omni which means it'll sent any MIDI data it gets and it seems to forget MIDI off notes. Ho hum, not the end of the world.
On the plus side I can send send QY100 patterns to the Yamaha MMS and record them which means that the whole QY100 pattern library is at my disposal as long as I send one channel at a time.
The fact that it works albeit in a limited capacity is a small miracle and the fact that with prudent usage it'll provide me with a library of styles is a major advantage. It means that the Yamaha MMS app just got a whole lot more interesting and as an iOS library that can power virtual MIDI apps its like having a huge download of styles on an arranger keyboard.
I'm in my element but there's a lot of work to do.
Viva production.

Elgin (/ˈɛlɡɪn/ EL-ghin) is a city in Bastrop and Travis Counties in the U.S. state of Texas. The population was 8,135 at the 2010 census. The city is a suburb of Austin, and is part of the Greater Austin metropolitan area. Elgin is also known as the Sausage Capital of Texas and the Brick Capital of the Southwest, due to the presence of three operating brickyards in the mid-20th century (two of which are open to this date).

First established in 1882, Southside is proud to offer Authentic Texas Barbeque and Sausage from the oldest joint in the state! Best known as the home of the Original Elgin Sausage, we're equally proud of our slow smoked brisket, pork steaks, ribs, chicken, Turkey, and more. We've continued the same traditions of smoking quality meats over real Texas post oak wood with nothing but a simple dry rub and time for over 132 years. We also offer a fresh meat market & Blue Bell ice cream counter. We're a family friendly place that'll treat YOU like family on your next visit.
We stopped for lunch on the way to Houston for the 2nd time now, its always good every time! The brisket is a must try and Sausages to take home ! They have variety of sausage that tastes natural without after tastes of artificial flavors!...MoreGrace - Thank you for this outstanding review! We're so happy you stopped in on your travels and look forward to hosting you again soon!

I've been a repeat customer at Super Donuts for quite a while. They have kolaches, donuts (regular and filled ones, too), gigantic apple fritters, hot coffee, juice, and other beverages. The pastries are spectacular! Yeah!!! A couple of hints, though... they don't take credit or debit cards; also you need to swing by early in order to get the best selection. Every time I go there, it's somewhat busy (even at 7 A.M). There are a few booths if you want to eat there, but I'd say the majority of people get carry out. Super Donuts beats the grocery store bakery hands down.

We stopped here for lunch on the way to Lake Travis because of the TripAdvisor reviews and they did not lie! Their pizza and wings were delicious. I ordered the Flying Garlic pizza and it had loads of roasted cloves of garlic on a butter garlic sauce with chicken and spinach. My husband ordered a meaty pizza and my nephew ordered a bacon cheeseburger and they both thought they were awesome, too. The wings are very meaty, too. Definitely worth a stop in. If we weren't driving on, I would have had a nice craft beer, too. Oh, and they also have natural sodas with no high-fructose corn syrup, etc. Delicious.

Meyers Elgin Smokehouse BBQ and Retail Market is the best of both worlds. Stop by and enjoy some authentic Texas bbq. Or if you have a big shindig you are cooking for, stop at the retail market for some of our famous Elgin sausage our family has been making in Elgin for 4 generations. If you just need a snack for the road, pick up some our mouth watering jerky, summer sausage or dried sausage.
This was our first visit to Meyer's so we were looking forward to enjoying some good BBQ. The lady behind the register wasn't very friendly and we had to repeat out order twice (and we speak Texan :) ) She just wasn't engaged. The BBQ was okay but nothing special. The cole slaw was good but the baked potato could have cooked a little more. They also serve Blue Bell Ice Cream.

With a vast menu for beer and ales, one wouldn't expect this place to score high on cookies. Their cookies, however, are delicious!! My favorite is the Heath Bar cookie. The restaurant also features crafts from area artisans as well as local fresh dairy milk.

The setting is a clean, basic place with lot of ethnic photographs on the wall. The tables and chairs are basic and clean with with stainless steel utensils wrapped in a napkin. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable dressed in t-shirts and pants. The food is little slow out of the kitchen, but plentiful and good taste, however nothing outstanding. Some items on menu one does not see elsewhere. Only critique is that it is pricey for what one gets.

I went here with my daughter and son-in-law. They have fajitas with different flavors/sauces. We ordered three different types and they were all delicious. We all had chicken fajitas and they were cooked just right, moist and very flavorful. Our waitress was not very friendly and either was tired or just had an attitude. We will go back for the food, hopefully the next time we will get a different waitress or maybe she was just having a bad day.

I think the highlight of this restaurant is the wait staff. Our waiter and all other employees were pleasant and thanked us in a positive way for our business. I was very impressed with all of them.
As far as the food goes, it was satisfactory but not great. I had two chicken enchiladas with beans and rice. My wife enjoyed a beef taco salad.
The restaurant is colorful and well decorated and definitely an asset to the community of Elgin. I would return again.

I have lived in Elgin for almost 3yrs before I heard of Superior Burger Bar and I have to say I am so sorry I did not know of it before. My husband and I are always looking for somewhere to eat locally and if you are wanting a mouth watering, made from scratch, home style burger this is your place. I understand this place is family owned and the young lady (the daughter) is the friendliest young lady you would want to meet. Service and food is top notch.
Best burger in the town of Elgin and I have tried them all.

Holiday Home Abruzzo
Abruzzo: Italy's Gateway to Family Fun
Abruzzo is an ideal holiday destination for family-friendly activities. Situated in Southern Italy just 80 kilometers east of Rome, this charming region is famous for its beautiful beaches, rich cultural heritage and enthralling attractions.
For accommodations, it is possible to rent a holiday home in Abruzzo that offers a more personal and comfortable experience.
Natural landscapes that have been largely unspoiled by human development are omnipresent throughout much of the region. Gran Sasso d'Italia, a notable mountain mastiff, is one of the most impressive natural landmarks and is surrounded by rolling hills. The area known as Da Pietracamela alla Val Maone is known for its lush forestry. Many visitors enjoy spending time at Sorgenti del Verde park and are impressed with the flowing crystal-clear water that features magnificent blue and turquoise colors.
No visit to Abruzzo would be complete without spending time at some of the region's best beaches. Tortoreto Beach is nestled along the beautiful Adriatic Sea and often attracts families that want to spend time swimming and soaking in the sun. Rocky cliffs hug the coastline of Riserva Naturale di Punta Aderci.
Several historical structures that tell more about the region's eventful past can be explored by families visiting Abruzzo. The spectacular cliffside fortress in the town of Roccascalegna was once used to help guard the area from invading forces. Scanno village has been in existence since Medieval times and takes visitors on a journey back in time. Civitella del Tronto is a historical commune that is also one of the top tourist attractions in Abruzzo.
Families that want to stop for a bite to eat can always visit one of the local restaurants to try foods that are unique to the region. The Spaghetti alla chitarra consists of long thin noodles and savory pasta sauce. Arrosticini is a shish kebab-style skewed lamb delicacy made with delicious flavors to enhance every bite.
The bacon, egg and pecorino cheese dish known as gnocchi carrati can be eaten for breakfast or any other meal during the day. For dessert, families can try the ferratelle wafer cookie treat or torrone nurzia chocolate nougat.
Any family that wants to take a fun-filled trip will have a rewarding experience by spending time in Abruzzo. Renting a holiday home is the perfect way to live in comfort while staying in this enchanting part of Italy.

Domain pricing if registered for multiple years
Is it possible to reduce the 1st year registration price if the domain is registered for 2 or more years.
For example, if a .com domain costs $10/year and someone registers it for 2 years, then, the 1st year price can be reduced to $5 and the 2nd year price will continue to be $10.
Some of the registrars like godaddy are doing this.
Hi there,
Thanks for your suggestion.
At present you could set the 1 year register price to $10, and the 2 year price to $15.
In this way the customer has saved $5 by registering for 2 years.
Would this meet your requirements?
I guess this is something different which Sharma Trying to say , highlighting discounted 1st years on multi-year registration/renewals could be useful.
Lets say, they will get the domain for Rs.99 (Only for the first year with a 2 year registration )
So In the cart , It should look something like this :
Total :Rs .1,099.00
1st year Rs.99.00
2+ years Rs. 1,000.00

RPM was the most famous way of installing packages on a Red Hat based linux box, nowadays other distros are also using RPM to support their software, Suse and Mandriva fall in the zone. RPM stands for Red Hat Package Manager. RPM lets you install a package, upgrade and uninstall the same. It also allows a querying functionality which lets one know about already packages installed on the system.
RPM packages are those with a .rpm extension. RPM packages contains the actual software to be installed and other files that are needed to carry out its installation. RPM packages are distributed distro specifically. Any attempt to install one distro-specific package on another distro might result in undesired consequences. You have been warned !
Graphical installation tools install a package in few clicks but here discussed is old school command line method which has its own legacy.
From here on, you need to have root's privileges.
To install rpm package, rpm command is used along with -i option which clearly stands for "install":
rpm -i package.rpm
Packages are subjected to regular upgradations, to update an installed rpm package, engage following code.
rpm -U package.rpm
On a fine day, everything will go well and the rpm package will be installed on your system ready to be launched from command line. Installed software, rather than creating its own directory, goes into pre-created linux directories. Executable files find their path to specific bin directories. To shoot the program from command line, the whole path is not needed just the program name is sufficient.
If things go south during installation, it can be very irritating. Most famous error that comes up is due to failed dependency. Dependencies are the packages that are needed for installing package to mover further in installation process. They are just software that are needed for proper functioning of the package being installed. While installing, the database is checked for needed packages, if not present, it stops the installation process due to failed dependency.
To rectify, one way is to install/upgrade those missing packages (don't worry it will tell you which packages are not present ) then continue with the current installation. Some times, this error is as meaningless as 'ay' in 'okay'. An entry is made in database only when the package is installed via rpm. If any other method is used, the entry is not made and despite presence of files, "failed dependency" error shows up.
When you are sure that the needed files are already on your system, you can skip the dependency check and install rpm package anyway.
rpm -i package.rpm --nodeps –nodeps option installs it without checking for dependency.
If you try to fool your system by going with –nodeps right away, the program won't work at all.
Removing the rpm package
rpm command along with -e option is used to remove a package installed with rpm.
rpm -e package.rpm -e is for "erase"
Note: While installing rpm package we included the whole package name but at the time of removing- only the program name can be used ignoring the extension.
rpm -e package This code works the same as above.
It removes all the files related to that package and also deletes the entry from database. Manually removing individual files will not affect database which can lead to dependency errors in future.
Making a query to database:
As mentioned earlier in the very article, the database knows what packages are installed on the system. The database can be queried to check if certain package exists on the database. For a single package query, command goes like:
rpm -q package
If the package is present, it returns the version of package installed, else, it says the package is not installed.
To list all the rpm packages installed on the system, run :
rpm -qa
To check for certain package in the list, "grep" can be used. We will cover that later, stay tuned.

Even Professor Diarmaid MacCulloch thinks it could be so in this story from The Daily Mail:
When a British couple discovered a concealed, almost lifesize mural of Henry VIII while redecorating their 16th-century Somerset home a couple of years ago, they could not have been more excited, particularly when an expert spoke of its national importance.
But husband-and-wife Angie and Rhodri Powell were unnerved by a further chance discovery.
When the portrait of Henry on his throne is viewed upside-down his features transform into the devil, with horns and goats' eyes. The devil appears too when the mural is viewed through a glass [mirror].
The mural is in the couple's drawing-room in the village of Milverton, the former Great Hall of the summer residence of 16th-century archdeacons of Taunton including Thomas Cranmer.
While Henry's portrait would have been an expression of loyalty, the hidden message suggests it was commissioned by someone with quite another view of a monarch who established himself as head of the Church in England in place of the Pope.
Mrs Powell, a bestselling children's author who writes under the name Angie Safe, and Mr Powell, a former publisher, came across the devil by accident.
I wonder what happens when you play "Greensleeves" backwards?
Professor Diarmaid MacCulloch, a specialist in the history of the church at Oxford University and Cranmer biographer, said that there was tremendous interest in optical illusion at the time, as shown by the distorted perspectives in Holbein's famous painting of The Ambassadors and William Scrots's portrait of Edward VI.
'So there's no reason why it shouldn't be true,' he said.
He noted that one of the then archdeacons felt 'very equivocally' about Henry VIII's Reformation: 'It's just possible that, for a private joke, he put it in because you could only see it through an optic. I imagine that, in the privacy of his own dining-room… it could be enjoyable.'
For obvious reasons, the painting is unsigned.
Conservator Ann Ballantyne, who is working on the mural, noted that it was painted at a time when the king was behaving 'excruciatingly badly'.
I'm really not so sure about this, but it seems to be receiving quite a lot of real attention! What do you think? Check out the photos at The Daily Mail site, and let me know.

RIO DE JANEIRO - On Aug 12, Joseph Schooling topped the heats and semi-finals of the Rio Olympics 100m butterfly event to become the first Singaporean man to reach an Olympic swimming final.
The nation will be rooting for him on Saturday morning (Aug 13, Singapore time) as the 21-year-old takes on the likes of Michael Phelps, Laszlo Cseh and Chad le Clos in the final in a bid to win that historic medal.
Here are eight things to know about Singapore's flying fish.
1. Schooling was the youngest recipient of the Sportsman of the Year award in 2012, but could not attend the prize presentation as he was sitting for a mathematics examination at Bolles School in Florida.
2. Schooling's grand uncle Lloyd Valberg was Singapore's first Olympian, representing the country in the high jump event in 1948 Games, which was also held in London.
3. Schooling's favourite food is carrot cake - "the blacker the better".
4. Two years ago, father Colin had to rebut suggestions that Schooling, who is an Eurasian, was "foreign talent". Schooling senior spoke in a mixture of Malay and Hokkien to prove that he is indeed 100 per cent Singaporean.
5. The Rio Olympics is not the first time Schooling beat Phelps. In June, the 21-year-old beat Phelps to win the 100m butterfly final at the Longhorn Elite Invite Meet in Austin, Texas.
6. Nor is Phelps the first swimming great Schooling had beaten. In 2013, he beat six-time Olympic gold medallist Ryan Lochte to win the 100m butterfly (long course) final at the Speedo South Sectional Championships in Florida.
7. He likes football - both real and virtual. His favourite team is Chelsea and he enjoys playing the Fifa series of computer games.
8. To prepare for the Rio Olympic Games, Schooling decided against watching popular drama series Game of Thrones to keep his focus.

Museums, libraries and archives across the region are contributing this week to Refugee Week, a national programme of events encouraging a better understanding between communities.
There are 477 such amenities in the region which receive 24 million visits a year, making them more influential than many people might imagine.
Refugee Week events include an exhibition at North Shields Library of writing and poems by refugees, and family fun days on Saturday at Gateshead Civic Centre and in Mowbray Park, next to Sunderland Museum & Art Gallery, both featuring music and arts.
Newcastle City Libraries is using a mobile library today to transport information on citizenship and books in many different languages to Brighton Grove, a culturally diverse area of Fenham, Newcastle. Shruti Jain, senior development officer at MLA North East (the strategic development agency for museums, libraries and archives in the region), said the amenities it represents "collect and provide access to information to encourage learning, debate, enjoyment and understanding".
She said: "This understanding leads to more closely knit communities as existing members learn and appreciate new arrivals through collections, exhibitions and information and new arrivals learn about and appreciate their new home."
At Gateshead Civic Centre on Saturday Tyne & Wear Museums will launch a story collection called Same place, different beginnings.
It is the result of a project which has taken place over 10 months involving refugees, asylum seekers and local people on the Old Fold Estate in Gateshead.
The project was designed to stimulate discussion around museum collections and the result is this collection of stories about the people who have settled in the North-East from across the world.
It also includes examples of the work done by people who have attended creative workshop sessions.

Real life has been intruding on baseball a bit much lately. We all got the shock of Jon Lester's diagnosis, one that hit home for me and for many in the Red Sox organization. The yellow "Livestrong" band I wear isn't just in support of cancer research; it's because that research is the reason I'm here. Like Lester, I had a form of non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma nearly a decade ago, so I know exactly what he and his family are going through. He has a strong family, I'm told, and a strong support system in Boston, where Curt Schilling understands the effects of cancer and where Larry Lucchino is a cancer survivor himself. Lester will get the best of care and has a great shot at overcoming this challenge, but it should remind us why things like the Jimmy Fund are so important. Baseball holds a special place in the American consciousness, one that can be used to further many things. I am sure that the Red Sox and the rest of the league will make the best of this situation. If you're reading, Jon, I'll give you the advice Kevin Goldstein gave me back in 1997: kick cancer's ass.
Powered by one of my favorite charities, on to the injuries:
- Just the term sounds painful: "Intrascrotal hematoma." I hope I don't need to spell this out for you, but suffice it to say that this is among the most painful injuries possible. Michael Barrett had to have surgery to keep the pressure from building up and damaging the merchandise more. Barrett is done for the season, and I can only hope that he's fine in the long term and that a lasting memory of searing pain is the only consequence.
- Is he or isn't he? Huston Street wasn't activated at the minimum as expected this weekend, but there are varying reports on how he's actually progressing. Some reports have him still sore and tentative while others have him ready as soon as Friday. Street threw from the mound Monday and is scheduled to toss a sim game on Wednesday (remember: rehab games are pretty much over now). Street looks likely to be activated by the weekend despite the confusion. The A's likely know exactly what to expect. The team is also thinking that Rich Harden may be back sooner than expected. Harden moved up to the mound without a problem and, assuming he can do that a few more times, he's likely to find himself in the bullpen. One new twist is that instead of acting as a setup man, the A's are considering Harden for the playoff rotation. If so, he'd need to be worked up to a starter's workload.
- Francisco Liriano passed the first big test on Monday, throwing 78 pitches during a side session. He was able to mix in his whole repertoire, though one observer said he looked "tentative" on his slider, mixing it in less than normal. Liriano is now scheduled to pitch a sim game (not batting practice, as has been reported) on Wednesday. That would put him on track for a rehab start on Saturday, a game that would be Game Four of the IL playoffs. Given that sequence, Liriano would return to the Twins rotation on the following Thursday. He'd have about four more starts on the calendar, which could be the difference maker for the Twins.
- Carlos Beltran made a heck of a catch in Houston and nearly paid a heck of a price. I'm not sure why there's chain link where Beltran smashed his knee, just as I'm not sure why there was chain link on the fence where Aaron Rowand smashed his face. Apart from Wrigley Field, there's no excuse as to why there isn't adequate padding. Beltran's knee stiffened up quickly, but has no structural damage. Once the swelling is gone, Beltran should be able to get back out on the field. He'll have some limitations with mobility, but no long-term consequences. The Mets also saw Pedro Martinez back on a mound this weekend. His side session looked great according to team sources, though they'll give Martinez plenty of time to heal up. He's not expected back in the rotation until next week, putting him on track for another three or four starts before the playoffs.
- The legs are always the first to go on a fighter. Last year, Roger Clemens ended his season hobbling off the mound in the World Series and then off into the sunset. Or so we thought. Back again, Clemens doesn't seem to have as much to fight for, but this is Roger Clemens. The Astros still have a shot at the playoffs, so unless the groin strain is significant, Clemens is as likely to go out there and battle as he is to let Phil Garner skip him in the rotation next time around. Clemens has proven time and again that he can adjust to maintain effectiveness while injured, but he's also shown a marked tendency to decline rapidly while trying to play through the injuries. Clemens still wants to go out with a bang, not a whimper.
- Who on the Red Sox isn't hurt? That might be easier than going though the ever-lengthening line on the way into the training room. The line did get shorter on Sunday with Manny Ramirez (patellar tendonitis), Trot Nixon (strained bicep), and Jason Varitek (knee surgery) all returning to the lineup. That leaves Curt Schilling at the head of the line. His strained lat, an injury that is showing up more and more with pitchers, looks to keep him out for at least his next start. Schilling should return unless the Sox fall further out of the playoff picture. Coco Crisp is nursing a sore left shoulder, while the shoulder of Jonathan Papelbon is still awaiting an MRI. Papelbon's scheduled test was pushed back due to the holiday and not because of continued swelling as has been whispered.
- The Cardinals continue to stumble towards another division title without Jim Edmonds and David Eckstein. Both didn't travel with the team. Edmonds and his people are hoping that ten days off without any baseball activities might clear his head enough to get back in the game in late September. That would be plenty for him to tune it back up, though any return from a concussion is fraught with the possibility of setback. The news on David Eckstein is clearer, if not better. He's making no progress with his strained left oblique, only able to play catch at short distances and even then with some pain. The team has enough of a lead to give Eckstein all the time he needs. His timeframe is, ideally, about the same as Edmonds'. Tony La Russa will use the next few weeks to sort out his team, trying to find matchups to escape that first playoff series against better teams.
- If Ken Griffey Jr. makes it through the season with just a dislocated second toe on his right foot, that's a win for the Reds medical staff. It won't get him a comeback player award this time around, but it has kept the Reds in the wild card chase. Griffey collided with the wall chasing down a Barry Bonds HR ball. It's painful but treatable; Griffey should miss a game or two at most.
- The Padres need to be healthy to compete and Khalil Greene continues to get injured. His finger injury has not gotten better and was recently diagnosed as a grade II tear of a ligament in his left middle finger. The activation from the DL this weekend was confusing; remember that the DL is irrelevant in September and taking Greene off helps with some off-field technical issues. Greene won't even attempt to swing for another ten days, though he'll be available for defense. Things look bleak for his healthy return in 2006.
- This Ryan Howard kid is pretty good, huh? I'm feeling more and more stupid about trading him (though I did get Prince Fielder and Miguel Cabrera in the deal). The slugger is carrying the Phillies while Chase Utley gets overlooked again. The Phillies are a great story on many levels, from Chris Coste's "Invincibile II" act to the rebirth of the team after the "dump trade" of Bobby Abreu. The team is dealing with another recurrence of Mike Lieberthal's troublesome back, something that's become par for the course as he fades. There's also a growing chance that Aaron Rowand will be available for the playoffs. Rowand had pins placed in his fractured ankle just last week, but he's a full-go style player, so I'm unsure what he could contribute at this stage. Since the early season, Shane Victorino has been his equal, something many of you pointed out to me when I overstated Rowand's importance to the team a week ago.
- It's not just Jon Lester getting scary news this week. Marcus Giles was told initially that he would need minor heart surgery to repair a dysfunctional valve. Instead of surgery, it appears Giles has some form of reflux disease. That's a far cry from having a catheter threaded up from his groin into his heart to staple a valve. Giles won't miss any time due to the injury; he's been cleared to play by doctors. The news isn't so good on Chipper Jones. His chronic oblique strain is acting up again and he's possibly done for the season. A lot depends on the Braves' position, but in any other year, their record would have them out of it. Jones presses himself into the lineup, so anything is possible.
- Quick Cuts: The Giants are doing a research study on foul tips. This will be interesting to see just how many hits a catcher takes in a season. With Mike Matheny still out, it's time to get serious about this problem. It should start with MLB writing a check … Carlos Zambrano left his start with a stiff back. Early reports indicate this isn't serious, but we'll keep an eye on it. According to the Trib's Paul Sullivan, Zambrano states that he could be shut down … Things look bad for Casey Fossum. The lefty has a torn labrum and faces off-season surgery … Corey Patterson will miss this week after slamming his shoulder into the wall making a catch. Wall is still way ahead in this year's battle with players … Thanks for all the feedback on "The Fantasy Show." I'll answer the three FAQs: yes, a show like this for baseball is possible, as we'd love to be year-round, covering all the major fantasy sports; yes, I could do the whole thirty minutes on injuries, but there's so much more to the game; and yes, she is that hot in person.

A hooklengths (also known as a snood) is a length of line which is attached to the rig body and terminates in a hook. The vast majority of rigs used in UK sea fishing will incorporate a hooklength which can be attached to the rig body with either trapped swivels or a more simple (and cheaper) dropper knot.
Monofilament hooklengths: The Amnesia brand of line by the American company Sunset is by far and away the most popular for making hooklengths with UK anglers. This is because Amnesia is memory free, meaning that it stays straight and tangle free in a way that normal monofilament fishing line does not, making it ideal for making hooklengths and snoods.
Amnesia is reasonably priced, comes on conveniently sized spools and is commonly available from tackle shops and online retailers. It is available in a wide range of colours and breaking strains with clear or black Amnesia in 15lb, 20lb or 30lb being the most popular. Click here to view and purchase Amnesia snood line from Sea Angling Shop.
Fluorocarbon: Fluorocarbon is a fairly new development in sea angling, although it has been used in freshwater fishing and fly fishing for a number of years. It is a highly technologically advanced line that is close to invisible when it is in water due to the way it refracts light. For this reason it is becoming increasingly popular as a line to use for snoods, especially for shy biting fish such as mullet and bass, and is now being widely used in LRF (Light Rock Fishing). It is also strong and stiff meaning it stands away from the rig body, lessening the chances of a tangle, and it is also very abrasion resistant and also sinks meaning that it helps keep baits on the seabed. View flourocarbon on Amazon by clicking here.
Wire Line: Wire line is a type of line used to construct hooklengths on rigs designed to target big and powerful fish such as conger, tope or other shark species. The reason for this is that these fish have sharp teeth which can bite through monofilament, leading to many anglers using wire traces to guard against this. As knots cannot be tied with wire line specialist crimps are used instead. An alternative to wire traced is to used heavy monofilament (100 – 200lb breaking strain), although this will also have to be secured with heavyweight crimps as it is too heavy to tie conventional knots with. With most heavy crimps it is also necessary to use specialist heavy crimping pliers. Read our full article on wire line by clicking here.

There should always be some dissent and discord in an artistic field like film, but in the case of Joaquin Phoenix's Joker, it has come in an odd wave of negative reviews. Throughout Tuesday and Wednesday, the film's rating on Rotten Tomatoes dropped to 77% positive after a dozen "rotten" reviews brought the total to 77. This comes just days after the DC Comics film won the Golden Lion at the Venice International Film Festival.
Many critics hailed the movie for changing "how we view comic book films" and presenting an Oscar-worthy performance from Joaquin Phoenix while others said it was, "well, not bad." The biggest contention, however, seems to be the way the film presents its values and themes. Some praised it for, "unapologetically hold[ing] up a mirror in our divided modern times," or successfully functioning as a "disturbing and terrifying commentary on our current society."
However, many critics saw this exploration as a weakness. One top critic called it a, "predictable brand of cold-hearted cynicism," that isn't worth your time, while another said it is, "a movie with a message [that it] hammers home again and again," making it "too volatile and frankly too scary, to separate from the very real violence committed by young men… in America almost every day." This conversation is one that should be had among viewers because film is meant to stir discussion. This conversation, however, is not one that can be summed up in a quick hot-take or blurb, and yet it often is.
Many moviegoers rely on Rotten Tomatoes scores to determine whether a movie like Joker is worth a trip to the theater or a six dollar rental. But without reading the entire review, the simple percentage leaves out a lot of the nuance that is reviewing films.
According to Rotten Tomatoes, "The Tomatometer score represents the percentage of professional critic reviews that are positive for a given film or television show. A Tomatometer score is calculated for a movie or TV show after it receives at least five reviews."
"When at least 60% of reviews for a movie or TV show are positive, a red tomato is displayed to indicate its Fresh status."
In other words, there is no "It was okay" or "I liked parts of it, but other parts weren't great." After analyzing the film in exhaustive detail and reflecting on the myriad of aspects of filmmaking put into the piece, a reviewer must deem it positive or negative. If it maintains a Tomatometer score of 75% or higher with at least five reviews from Top Critics, it will earn a "certified fresh" score.
"[But, if] less than 60% of reviews for a movie or TV show are positive, a green splat is displayed to indicate its Rotten status."
So what does this tell us about Joker? Not much that we didn't expect. It is divisive in that there are aspects that some will hail as Oscar-worthy while others will deem it self-righteous or overplayed. It's up to us to have these conversations rather than read a thumbs-up or a thumbs-down. We'll have to see what the masses say when the Audience Scores pour in after Joker's October 4 release. You can read the reviews at RottenTomatoes.

On the campaign trail and in his first six months in office, Mexico's President Enrique Peña Nieto de-emphasized the military's role in the drug war by promoting a new strategy that focuses on prevention and the root causes of crime. However, in May, Peña Nieto had to send troops to the state of Michoacán to quell the violence between cartels and vigilantes taking up arms to defend their villages. Peña Nieto -- like his predecessor, Felipe Calderón -- now seems poised to again put Mexico's military front and center in the fight against organized crime.
In a five-part Baker Institute Viewpoints series, institute experts and guest authors evaluate a fundamental question for all democratic societies facing organized crime threats: Is the deployment of troops in a domestic conflict with organized crime an appropriate use of combat forces?
Read the series:
- Mexico's use of the military in the drug war: Why no alternative?
- Why Mexico's military is fighting the country's drug war
- A never-ending mission: Soldiers as police in Mexico
- Mexico's military plays a necessary role in internal security
- Can Mexico be in an "armed conflict" with criminal gangs?
