Those not familiar with the iconoclastic soul artist Swamp Dogg might know him through his biggest hit, "Don't Take Her (She's All I've Got)," which hit the top five twice in the 1960s and '70s.
If not for that, perhaps you've seen the singer, songwriter, producer, psychedelic soul music purveyor on some of the most surreal album covers of the 1970s. Dogg, born Jerry Williams Jr., also penned gems later recorded by Bob Dylan, Irma Thomas, Patti LaBelle and dozens of others.
Williams will make a rare appearance at the Echo on Saturday night, where he'll perform songs from throughout his career. The impetus?
TIMELINE: Summer's must see concerts
His tripped-out early 1970s albums "Total Destruction to Your Mind," "Rat On!" and "Gag a Maggot" (the latter featuring a cover replete with Swamp's head floating amid a pile of garbage) have just been reissued by label Alive Naturalsound, bringing back to life work that combined lyrics about politics, race and psychedelia through frantic early 1970s soul. "Total Destruction," in fact, was recorded at the legendary Muscle Shoals studios in Alabama, and its dozen songs are wild, singular gems.
"Sitting on a corn flake, riding on a roller skate," he sings to open the title track, a rollercoaster jam of wah-wah pedal, brass, humming organs and a choice break. Elsewhere on the album he offers stream-of-consciousness lines such as "Spirit dust your head color red/Sparkle your insides pink with pleasure/Waves splash, silver your sky" before moving into a series of "la la la" vocal melodies.
"The World Beyond" is written about a time after the world has ended. "Tell me about the automobile," sings Swamp. "How did it run, and what was a wheel?/Did children stand up all alone?/I think that you're putting me on."

Some of the more out-there lyrics now sound dated, but the music stands up: This is serious soul music recorded by some masters of the genre.
Though born in Virginia, Williams has lived in the Valley for decades, but seldom plays live. His gig at the Echo will be part of Jeremy Sole's excellent regular event "Funky Sole," and it offers a rare opportunity to witness an unsung master in a live setting.

lottery, scheme for distributing prizes by lot or other method of chance selection to persons who have paid for the opportunity to win. The term is not applicable when lots are drawn without payment by the interested parties to determine some matter, e.g., the distribution of property among heirs. The absence of any element of skill or play distinguishes the lottery as a form of gambling. Under common law in England and the United States lotteries were lawful. They paid for many public buildings and founded and supported educational, charitable, and religious enterprises. Private lotteries, which were particularly susceptible to fraudulent practices, were first generally prohibited in the early 19th cent. Most publicly sponsored lotteries were discontinued not long afterward. With the adoption in 1890 of a federal statute prohibiting the transportation of lottery tickets or prizes by mail or in interstate commerce, the largest American state lottery—that of Louisiana—came to an end. It was not until more than 50 years later that state lotteries were again legalized in the United States, when New Hampshire authorized (1963) a sweepstakes lottery, the proceeds of which were to go to education. With the assistance of computers, 42 states and the District of Columbia now operate daily and weekly lotteries with huge payoffs; states also participate in regional and multistate lotteries, ranging from Tri-State Megabucks (Maine, New Hampshire, and Vermont) to Powerball (with 31 states and territories). Often the lottery drawings are televised. Lotteries are also lawful in many other countries, some of which jointly operate multinational lotteries.

Report: Child dies every three weeks from falling TV
A new report shows a child dies from a TV tipping over onto them every three weeks in the United States, and another 13,000 are hurt.
"Every 45 minutes, or less than the length of a Sesame Street episode, a child visits the ER because of a TV tipping over," said Anne Garinger, coordinator Safe Kids Greater Des Moines.
The study was released by Safe Kids Worldwide and SANUS. It shows a 31 percent increase in TV tip-over related injuries over the last 10 years.
"We've seen a huge increase in TV tip overs in the last 10 years," said Garinger. "It can happen very quickly and that's why we really encourage parents to do a couple of things to prevent TV tip overs."
The report shows that young children are at greatest risk of TV tip-overs from flat screen and old style CRT televisions.
Seven out of 10 children injured by TV tip-overs are 5 years old or younger, the report said.
The report also shows that three out of four parents don't secure their TV to the wall.
"Protect your children. Make it as safe as you can. That is your area. Something you can control," said Garinger.
Safe Kids wants all parents to check the stability of the TVs in their home. They advise parents to add TV mounts and furniture straps to help keep your family safe.

The Panorama of Chessed
This is true of all Jews, but especially among Torah-observant Jews who not only generously respond with time and money to the needs of others, but go to great lengths to innovate gamachim (an acronym for the abbreviation of the Hebrew words for kindness activity).
Just open up a Jewish telephone directory for a Torah-observant community and you will find no less than 86 pages of listings of gamachim — beginning with meals for Shabbat and ending with medical supplies. In between are organizations that provide second-hand clothing for needy families, help with celebrations and mourning periods, and even help parents locate lost tots.
The dozens of varieties of gamachim and the hundreds of organizations involved present a fascinating panorama of chessed of which all Jews can be proud.

News Corp. formally split into two companies Friday. One company will operate as a newspaper and book publisher and will retain the News Corp. name. The other will be an entertainment company, called Twenty-First Century Fox Inc.
News Corp. formally split into two companies Friday. One company will operate as a newspaper and book publisher and will retain the News Corp. name. The other will be an entertainment company, called Twenty-First Century Fox Inc.
Here's how the split works:
� Newspapers, book publishing and information services such as Dow Jones Newswires will be part of the publishing company. The 20th Century Fox movie studio, the Fox broadcast TV network and the Fox News Channel will be part of the media and entertainment company.
� Existing News Corp. shareholders receive one share in the new News Corp. for every four they held in the previous entity. Their existing shares will also be converted one-for-one into shares in Twenty-First Century Fox.
Both sides will trade publicly starting Monday under different stock tickers. In the U.S., the entertainment company will use "FOX" and "FOXA" for its two classes of shares, while News Corp. is to keep "NWS" and "NWSA."
� The new News Corp. will have $2.56 billion in cash and no debt. That amount will include a payment of $1.82 billion from Twenty-First Century Fox. Another $741 million is already held in cash by the publishing businesses.
� The board has approved a program for the publishing business to buy back $500 million of shares after the split, providing a buttress to its share value. There's also a shareholder-rights plan, known as a poison pill, designed to prevent a hostile takeover of either company in the volatile trading period after the split is complete.
� Rupert Murdoch will be chairman of both companies and CEO of the media and entertainment company. Robert Thomson, former managing editor of The Wall Street Journal, will become CEO of the publishing company. Murdoch will end up controlling both companies through the nearly 40 percent of Class B voting shares he controls through a family trust. Murdoch's compensation package for the two companies combined could rise by as much as 15 percent if financial targets are met.
� News Corp.'s board approved the split last month, as did shareholders at a special meeting in New York. Friday was the last business day of News Corp.'s fiscal year.

Seyed Behrad Ghodsi-Atossa 3d Printed Footwear
At Design Interviews
Interview with Seyed Behrad Ghodsi : Frank Scott: What is the main principle, idea and inspiration behind your design?. Seyed Behrad Ghodsi : As a designer I believe we have to be curious about new technology and see how we can apply it into our design to improve the user experience. Based on user needs and the potential that I find in 3D printing technology as a manufacturing method, I started to design a series of ergonomic and stylish 3D-printed footwear. .Frank Scott: What has been your main focus in designing this work? Especially what did you want to achieve?. Seyed Behrad Ghodsi : Atossa started as an idea for redesigning industrial and social systems that deliver the products to us. I thought of getting the advantages of 3D print technology to develop customized products. My goals have been minimizing the waste of matter and energy and increasing people's involvement in the design process.The strategy is to design based on every individual's needs in order to provide them with the most appropriate product, which is unique to them. I believe participatory design is the future for design. .Frank Scott: What are your future plans for this award winning design?. Seyed Behrad Ghodsi : I consider this award a platform to introduce the product around the globe. I'd also like to take this opportunity to promote my design through companies and designers. .Frank Scott: How long did it take you to design this particular concept?. Seyed Behrad Ghodsi : The design development process took approximately 1 year from the initial idea through to production. .Frank Scott: Why did you design this particular concept? Was this design commissioned or did you decide to pursuit an inspiration?. Seyed Behrad Ghodsi : I believe 3D Printing is the future of manufacturing. It reduces the cost, energy and also it would be a good solution for the environmental problems. So I thought it would be a good idea to consider these benefits in my design. The idea of the design is originated from me but many others helped deliver the concept. .Frank Scott: Is your design being produced or used by another company, or do you plan to sell or lease the production rights or do you intent to produce your work yourself?. Seyed Behrad Ghodsi : I currently plan to sell the product to any interested company or lease the rights of it with a business plan. .Frank Scott: What made you design this particular type of work?. Seyed Behrad Ghodsi : Lack of user customization in the shoe ergonomics would result in many dissatisfactions and sometimes diseases. Atossa embraces every foot's unique form and shapes itself accordingly. I'm looking for new types of customization, something more than just changing the colors or some small details! .Frank Scott: Who is the target customer for his design?. Seyed Behrad Ghodsi : People with passion and sensibility for fashion and technology and also those who are looking for new types of customization for footwear and specifically for high heels! .Frank Scott: How did you come up with the name for this design? What does it mean?. Seyed Behrad Ghodsi : I was looking for a feminine name from ancient cultures and I came up with Atossa. Atossa is the name of a well known queen in Ancient Persia, who is the daughter of Cyrus the great. Atossa means graceful, powerful and capable. .Frank Scott: Which design tools did you use when you were working on this project?. Seyed Behrad Ghodsi : Sketching in 2D, 3D modelling In Autodesk 3ds Max and 3D printing with Makerbot Replicator 2X and Fifth Generation .Frank Scott: What is the most unique aspect of your design?. Seyed Behrad Ghodsi : Atossa has the ability to be unique and ergonomics with the minimum cost. If you want to get these features and customize your shoe design with common production, you'll end up paying a lot of money! So by Atossa, you can have your own custom designed shoe with a low cost. .Frank Scott: Who did you collaborate with for this design? Did you work with people with technical / specialized skills?. Seyed Behrad Ghodsi : We worked with 3D Printing technicians, Electrical Engineers, 3D Printing materials experts and human factor experts. .Frank Scott: What is the role of technology in this particular design?. Seyed Behrad Ghodsi : Basically the most important point of this project was about the new technology and the ways I have applied it to my design! So this project was impossible without using new technology and specifically 3D printing Technology! .Frank Scott: What are some of the challenges you faced during the design/realization of your concept?. Seyed Behrad Ghodsi : At that point limitation of materials was my biggest challenge. Also 3D printing is a time consuming process and it was a challenge as well. .Frank Scott: How did you decide to submit your design to an international design competition?. Seyed Behrad Ghodsi : It is a way to get more recognition and a larger exposure of our design and brand. .Frank Scott: Any other things you would like to cover that have not been covered in these questions?. Seyed Behrad Ghodsi : Atossa is made by PLA. PLA is a bio-material and because it is obtained out of natural resources such as corn, potatoes or sugar beets, it is acknowledged as "earth friendly". Also this material is 100% recyclable so we can recycle it for several times and 3D print new shoes with the same material! .

Dyslexia, Susceptibility to, 5: Dyslexia is a name for a condition where people have difficulty with reading and writing. People with dyslexia have normal intelligence and are not in any way mentally retarded or intellectually challenged. The difficulty with certain tasks is believed to be related to problems with perception capability in certain parts of the brain. Researchers have discovered that there are a number of genes linked to an increased susceptibility to dyslexia. Genetic forms of dyslexia are considered to be primary dyslexia and patients tend to have problems with reading, writing and spelling even as adults. Type 5 is linked to a defect on chromosome 3p12-q13. More detailed information about the symptoms, causes, and treatments of Dyslexia, Susceptibility to, 5 is available below.

USC Athletic Director Pat Haden went on the offensive Thursday night and answered a question he expects to hear a lot as the Trojans prepare for the upcoming football season.
In a "State of Troy" video posted by USC Athletics one day before Pac-12 Media Day, Haden expressed confidence in coach Lane Kiffin and optimism about the future of the football program.
"I anticipate the media will ask me if our football coach is on the hot seat this year," Haden, a former Trojan quaterback, said. "Here is my answer, and it will be my answer whenever I'm asked. He is not."
USC is coming of a 7-6 season that ended with five losses in six games. The disappointment included a 38-28 loss to UCLA and a 22-13 defeat to Notre Dame to end the regular season.
USC lost to Georgia Tech 21-7 in the Sun Bowl.
"We all know the second half of last year was disappointing, but I firmly believe we'll bounce back strong this season," Haden said. "I'm behind Lane Kiffin 100 percent. I have great confidence in him. He's a very hard working, detailed oriented coach."
Haden also referred to Kiffin as a "dynamic play caller" and "exceptional recruiter."
The team continues to deal with scholarship limitations handed down by the NCAA soon after Kiffin was hired in 2010. USC will have 70 players on scholarship for the 2012-2013 season, compared to the more than 80 scholarship players on its opponents' rosters.
"We're still working through very difficult challenges imposed on us," Haden said. "These sanctions were not handed down to help us win games."
The Trojans open the season Aug. 29 at Hawaii. The home opener is scheduled for Sept. 7 against Washington State.
At Friday morning's media day session, Kiffin said USC will need immediate production from the team's young players.
"We've got to maximize every player on our roster," said Kiffin "We have a lot of really talented players coming into our program. We have high expectations for those guys, and we're going to need them to contribute immediately."

UH Charter School Resource Center announces recipients of the First Educator of the Year and Volunteer of the Year awardsUniversity of Hawaiʻi
UH Charter School Resource Center
HILO, Hawaiʻi — The two outstanding members of the Hawaiʻi Charter School Community were selected for two distinguished awards: The 2006 Charter School Educator of the Year and the 2006 Charter School Volunteer of the Year. Carol Ioane of the Ka Umeke Kaeo Public School Charter is the 2006 School Educator of the Year and Bill Woerner of the Innovations Public Charter School is the 2006 School Volunteer of the Year. These first annual awards are made possible by the sponsorship of the Rotary Club of Hilo and are issued by the University of Hawaiʻi Charter School Resource Center. The awards will be made at the October 5th meeting of the Hawaiʻi State Board of Education and at the October 6th meeting of the Rotary Club of Hilo.
Carol Ioane, a long time tenured teacher, had been Ka Umeke's English instructor for the past three years. Thanks to her leadership and instruction, Ka Umeke students have improved their reading scores and outperformed the DOE and the District averages for four years running. Ioane has served on the Ka Umeke local school board since its inception. From the beginning, she has fought through the obstacles in order to deliver a quality education to Ka Umeke's students and parents. When the local school board president resigned, Ioane took the reins and kept things going. When the school administrator left, she filled those shoes and kept the school afloat. Ioane did all this while continuing to be an excellent classroom teacher and mentoring and guiding staff for other teachers.
Ioane has acted as Ka Umeke's instructional leader for the last three years. In this capacity, she has taken the lead in teacher training, curriculum evaluation and implementation, assessment, and teacher facilitation. Her years of experience as a teacher have been an incredible asset to the instructional team.
Bill Woerner was the founder of West Hawaiʻi Explorations Academy. Since his retirement, he has served as Project Manager for the construction of a campus for Innovations Public Charter School. Generations of students and families will have access to high quality public education because of Bill's generous gift of his personal time to the community.
Woerner participated in all phases of planning, designing, permitting, and budgeting for the 15,000 square foot educational center. After all permits were approved, he rolled up his sleeves and physically helped to build the school. Phase I of the campus is near completion and Woerner is still volunteering almost daily. The virtuous example he has set has inspired hundreds of people to reach to their highest potential and join together in this community effort.
Woerner's dedication to this immense project of building a new charter school campus from the ground up on a shoestring budget has been described as nothing short of phenomenal. He is not just out there directing other people on what to do. One is just as likely find him digging a trench, building the forms for a cement pour, helping with the framing of a new building, as you would find him sketching out drawings and notes, conceptualizing solutions to a technical problem at hand. The recipients were selected from dozens of nominees by a panel consisting of Dr. Stan Fortuna, Headmaster of Kamehameha Schools, Keaau (and a member of the Rotary Club of Hilo), Dr. Mary Ann Raywid, Professor Emerita of Education at Hofstra University, and Ms. Helen Hemmes, President of the Rotary Club of Hilo.
The University of Hawaiʻi Charter School Resource Center has been operating since 2001. It conducts worldwide research on educational choice, acts as an advocate for charter schools, and works with Hawaiʻi charter schools to improve services to their students. Questions about the awards and other communications may be sent to the Resource Center at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Happy Birthday, Vin!
If you're a fan of the Dodgers, you pretty much grew up listening to Vin Scully and for many of you with summer birthdays, you've probably spent a birthday or two listening to him.
Well, today's his birthday so please stop and take a moment to be thankful for all that he's given us over the years. I hope he's spending it with his family and enjoying a nice lazy day around the house.
And in other news, Vin will be calling games next year for a rotation now set with five solid starters, as Jon Garland spent his Thanksgiving signing with his hometown team.
Obviously lots of other rumors percolating out there and while I can't comment on rumors or possible deals, I hope Dodger fans are starting to get excited about the team that Ned and his staff are putting together. We're not yet at the winter meetings and they've already filled many of the "holes" in the team heading into 2011.

Happy Birthday, Vinny! Dodger Baseball would not be the same without you.
Why do I get an image of the little Dutch boy with his finger in the dike when referring to Ned filling holes?
Our line-up can be referred to as Swiss.
As in cheese.
Happy 83rd Birthday Vin Scully! WE LOVE YOU!!!
Also, Happy birthday to Ross Porter who shares a birthday with Vin! I miss your trivias Ross!
I have not renewed my season tickets (2) but yes, I am starting to get excited about the new season. Let's see what Ned can do about the offense.
Hello ITD!
Happy Birthday Vinny!!!! In even watching all the highlights of past games on mlbtv, Vinny's voice just makes the highlights even better.
I am glad we got Jon Garland, and I am reading about a 3-year deal with Uribe is on the table. I am not so sure about the length of contract if that is the case.
The Dodgers signed Juan Uribe to a 3-year/$21million dollar contract.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY VINNY!!! I literally grew up listening to Vinny! We went to games and yes, I?m a summer-birthday baby and listened to Vinny every chance I could get! My parents were one of the many that brought transistor radios to listen to Vinny call the game that we were watching in person. Nothing soothes me and nothing says Dodger Baseball than hearing Vinny?s melodic voice saying, ?It?s time for Dodger baseball!!!
A very Happy Birthday Vin Scully. I will never, ever forget your voice and all the broadcastsw you have done for the Los Angeles Dodgers. You are terrific at your job. So glad you will be announcing for season 2011. We have already bought our season tickets WoooHoooo, have the best birthday ever. Much love and best wishes from
Bob and Karen from Bakersfield, CA
JOSH hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving and by the way…Thanks for all that you have done for us!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO VIN. He is the best voice in Baseball and the best thing that the Dodger still have!
ENCHANTED. That's a better image than imaging Ned with the Magic 8 ball flipping it over and over.
Well, according to Dylan Hernandez, they are close to an agreement with Juan Uribe, and it could be announced as early as tomorrow morning. So, depending on the source, each has its own version of what is happening right now.
Scratch that!!! Bleacher Report just confirmed it 🙂
Happy Birthday Vinnie!!!!!!!!
The phrase "It's time for Dodger's baseball", is tattooed in my heart. Words can not describe what you mean to Dodger fans. You are the definition of a "living legend".
The good news: Happy Birthday Vin!
The bad news: Yawn Uribe is in the fold.
Well, I didn't get much reaction from my family. They didn't seem to care one way or another. A few of my colleagues were a little stunned, but they were not overwhelmingly upset about the signing either.
I'm going to go out on a limb here and say its not a bad signing in general, but I doubt its worth the money.
Its not bad because:
Year 1
(A) they can now non-tender Theriot, and ANYTHING is better than Theriot. Uribe is definitely an upgrade both offensively and defensively.
(B) Uribe is undoubtedly going to play a lot for Furcal when he inevitably goes on the DL again. Dee Gordon I doubt will ever be much of a defensive shortstop and is at least a couple years away, and when Furcal goes down and Uribe slides over, Carroll and DeJesus should be able to cover second adequately.
Year 2
(A) You've at least got short or third covered when Blake and Furcal don't get their option picked up.
(B) DeJesus should by this time be ready for fulltime 2B.
Year 3
(A) You've got an all-around back-up IFer (a Carroll with some pop if you will.)
(B) Gordon may be ready to take over SS by now.
The bad:
(A) Terrible OBP
(B) Another free swinger
(C) Not a middle of the order bat that we need
(D) Vastly overpaid (one of Ned's traits)
(E) Another ex-Gnat (yet another Ned trait)
(F) Probably another FA out there that could do the same for less money, but Frank wants to look like he's doing something to spur on season ticket sales.
Happy birthday, Vinny, Ross and anyone else who has a birthday today. Vinny, you have been an important part of my life since 1958 and I am glad this will continue for at least another season.
I will reserve any judgement on the signing of Uribe for the time being. I will say I hope this is not like the Juan Pierre signing that smacked of desperation with the amount of money and length of that contract.
Yawn Uribe – funny! It is not only funny because of the play on words/names, but it's even funnier that I just got it.
Good points enchanted!
Oh, and one more thing……………I know you may want to be a nice guy, but Andre, don't give up your #16. Andre Ethier and #16 kind of are synonomous now.
I like the Uribe signing a lot. He's only 31, three years older than Ethier. And the guy plays with fire and nad, something few Dodgers EVER do these days. I don't see him being a bench back-up. Pencil him in at 2nd base…or 3rd base, if they can get Blake to accept Father Time 'a knockin'. This is not a Pierre fiasco or anything remotely close. Pierre took ABs away from Ethier and Kemp. Uribe will be taking them away from the likes of Blake and Theriot (if he's even tendered). Ned is somehow doing OK so far.
Happy Birthday Vin!!!!
Uribe is a heck of alot better option than Theriot!!! Geez!!! At least we can go into Spring this year with 5 real starters. Thank god we won't have to endure the Haegars and other pieces of crap Ned has usually assembled.
How long has it been since we have had a week like this where we have generally been happy with what Ned has done? I am knocking on wood as I write – lol!!
Hi'Ya Nelly!!! How've you been? Hope you and yours had a nice Thanksgiving. I too am knocking on wood. So far, Ned has done pretty good. Just get rid of Sherrill and don't bring back Pathednik. LOL!!!!
It was great Jhall!! I hope yours was as well! My only thinking through this is why couldn't the Dodgers have made these moves last year?
Good thing you don't need perfection Wally cuz with Ned you ain't never gonna get it!!!
How the hell did I get up here?
Happy Birthday, Vinny! I have an 8 x 10 picture of you on my entry wall wishing me a Happy Birthday, and it is something that puts me in a good mood everytome I see it. I can't wait to hear your voice when the season starts. You are such a huge positive aspect to Baseball! It goes without saying that there aren't too many positive things going for the Dodgers right now. WE ARE SO LUCKY TO HAVE YOU! I am so glad you are staying for another year! Karen in Fountain Valley
It was a nice Thanksgiving here Nelly. Thanks!! Well, I wonder why we couldn't do it the last few years also. LOL!!! Oh well, better late than never. Maybe, we are at least learning from our mistakes!!! Much better than continuing to do the same dumb things and expecting a different result.
Maybe Ned and Frank are finally listening to US!!!!! lol
That may be the case Jhall!! I hope so. Yea, you are right. At least it is better than repeating the same pattern over and over again.
Hi'Ya Trumom!!! Happy Thanksgiving and Holidays to you my friend!!! Let's hope they are listening to us. At least we have some common sense. LOL!!!! I think the biggest thing to learn is:
Sometimes no deal is the best deal and,
Don't make deals out of fear and/or panic.
Yep Nelly, I don't necessarily need perfection, but I do want/need progress!!!
Forward progress that is!!! Last year we regressed dramatically and pathetically!!!!
One damn post and I'm in Submission Error helll!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Great to see you Jhall. I'm wondering what we are going to do about the catchibg position? I don't think Russell will be wearing Dodger Blue next year.
I have experienced that the submission error hell is still alive and well around here 😦
Wishing you a very happy birthday, Vin! We love ya!!
I'm wondering if the reason that Ned is doing better this off-season is because he is no longer being influenced and/or overridden by Old Man Joe.
Dodgers trade Theriot to Cards for pitcher Blake Hawksworth.
I suppose the $402K was the right price 🙂
Whatever it is it sure does seem like somebody is giving Mattingly all the tools he seems to need. It sure does make you wonder if Joe was the reason they didn't make any of these moves last season, especially in pitching.
Yeah, he just sucks a little less than he did last year.
Not that I'm going to cry for Theriot Argentina, but isn't an everday player a little excessive a price for a poor reliever/spot starter?
Still, Ned gets a * by his name today for getting something a day before they non-tendered him and got nothing.
I think a lot can be said for that selltheteam, though Ned still sucks. 😉
Nice to see some (mostly) positive comments here. I do have a question: Some of you are suggesting the Dodgers are making moves giving Mattingly tools that they were not willing to give Torre as if management wanted Torre to fail. Why would they do such a thing? In a way I understand the thinking with all the bargain basement, garage sale dumpster diving Ned did last year, especially with regard to pitching. I just cannot buy the notion this was all done to insure failure. Ned did not know Andre would hurt himself, Kemp would regress, Broxton would implode, Furcal would get hurt after getting off to a torrid start, Martin would continue to slide and that Manny would become a singles hitter. I am not defending either Ned or Joe; both of them probably would admit they were not able to do enough to turn things around. I still believe everything Ned did last season had to do with money. Maybe that is not as much of an issue this season.
I'd rather bring back the 42 years old Kent than signing Uribe for 3 years. That is just a waste trade for Theriot and Hawksworth. I hope that signing doesn't block DeJesus from 2nd bases and this would definitely be Blake last year at 3rd. I'm still hoping for the weird platoon at 1st bases from Loney against RH and Blake vs LH.
As I mentioned to Nells last night, I don't think its a coincidence either that all the young guys started regressing when Joe came on the scene.
Got to be Tru…Got to be the reason why they weren't this active….I don't know much about Hawksworth…Glad Theriot is gone….Not to sure about Damon or Varitek? Damon can't play the OF….Varitek is 39 lol…..Could this mean there trying to bring Martin back
And Happy B-Day Vin….Love ya man
Joe T is an idiot….Sorry folks but never thought he was that good of a manager…..I like the Garland and Uribe signings….We will see how Hawksworth shakes out….We need a big bat tough? Don't you all think? Dunn? Or someone else
Just a hunch here…..and I am probably wrong but I do remember it being said that any transaction by Frank previously, could be contested by Jamie. In such an event Frank would have had to make up the difference monetarily, if it was decided that Jamie has equal say in team matters. With Neds sudden about face, to his approach to the off-season, meaning his sporadic spending early as opposed to his wait and see, take on things, of the past few years and with the divorce being official, pro-active to the filing, Could it be that Frank, has free reign at the moment. If the Judge rules unfavorably in his favor would the Judge then impose restrictions to all this? Just wondering??
And won't the Giants have to cough up, either money, players, and or production to replace Uribe??
Did we ever figure out who we traded Dotel to the Rockies for yet?
Shad – that would be the wonderous Anthony Jackson:
Jackson, 26, is a career .252/.331/.340 hitter in 2,290 minor league plate appearances.
So basically we got ABSOLUTELY NOTHING for McDonald and Lambo.
Theriot and Podsednik just never clicked at the top of the order, though they only had a short while to make it happen. I wish both of them well; they're good guys. Uribe is great insurance–looking forward–as Blake enters his final year in L.A.
Sorry for being so late, but HAPPY BDAY GREAT SIR, MR. VIN SCULLY. You're an amazing person, the best announcer in baseball for the last 50 years plus. Even though I'm not old enough to of heard you prior to 1988, ever since I could remember baseball, or Dodgers, I remember hearing your voice. Because of you, I actually started a career as a journalist an hopefully, someday, an announcer. Your voice is serene and your words of wisdom will never be imitated nor duplicated. I still remember the night I met you, it was around the 7th inning, people we're walking down the stairs, and I happened to go out the way of TD down the stairs, and I ran into you great sir, heading off to you're car. I said, "Thank You and Goodnight Mr. Scully", and you said, "Goodnight To You As Well." If and when I get married, I'd love to have you there. Ever since I could remember, you've been a part of my family, and I hope and pray that you have the best birthday ever, because your young, and still got lots of joys to encounter in your legacy. Thank You Sir. The Immortal Vin Scully.
Thank you, vinny. you and jerry dogget filled so many of my days, when I would listen to you broadcasting the '55 world seriers.You are the only announcer I've ever known.

While the most precise way to find your ring size is to have a jeweler do it, you can also easily do it at home. Whether you're sizing your finger to buy a ring online, or want to surprise your sweetie with an engagement ring, the next method has you covered.
Finding Your Ring Size
- Cut a strip of paper or a piece of string. Wrap the paper or string around the finger to be sized.
- Slide the paper or string up to the knuckle, as the ring must be sized large enough to able to slip off and on, over the knuckle.
- Mark the intersection point of string. Make sure to mark both points of the string.
- Place the paper or string next to a ruler and write down your measurement.
- Locate your ring size by locating your measurement on the size chart.
If the measurement falls in between two sizes, it is recommended that you choose the larger size. Your fingers might also swell if you're pregnant or taking certain medications. Take this into account when measuring your fingers.
Finding the Ring Size for Your Loved Ones
- Find a ring that your loved one currently wears.
- Make sure he or she wears that ring on the finger you are shopping for.
- Using a ruler to measure the inside diameter or inside circumference of the ring.
- Match your measurement with our size chart to find your perfect fitting size!
If the measurement falls in between two sizes, it is recommended that you choose the larger size.

Scouting Report 2008: Willunga
Our third-annual rundown of the best new places—as determined by people lucky enough to have exploration be part of their job description.
Dan Philips: Founder of the Grateful Palate, an Oxnard, Calif.–based company that sells specialty foods and kitchen accessories, imports wine, and even runs wineries in Spain and Australia (gratefulpalate.com).
There are foodies—and then there's Dan Philips. Founder of the Grateful Palate, a food-related gift merchandiser that bills itself as "a lifestyle for your tongue," Philips runs a wine-importing business, as well as several wineries, and is opening a wine bar in Adelaide, Australia. In addition to splitting his time between Adelaide and Thousand Oaks, Calif., Philips travels four months of the year to hunt down new suppliers for his Bacon of the Month Club and other gourmet groups.
One of Philips's favorite discoveries is the town of Willunga (pop. 5,064), an hour's drive south of Adelaide. "It's in the McLaren Vale region, the greatest area in the world for producing Shiraz and other red wines of just about any sort," says Philips. He always makes sure to stop by the Willunga Farmers Market for the fish and oysters from nearby Gulf St. Vincent, fresh milk and cream, wood-fired bread, and grass-fed beef. "It tastes different depending on how and where the cows were raised," he says.
What really earns Philips's enthusiasm, however, is a local pizza parlor. "Russell's Pizza is like a monastery of pizza, food, and culinary pleasures," he says. "Russell Jeavons built the place himself—even the oven—and he grows a lot of the herbs, vegetables, and fruits served at the restaurant. He plops oysters and squid right on top of the pizza dough, slides it into the brick oven, and cooks it all together. Russell's is only open two nights a week, which makes it feel even more special."
Information: Car rentals, oodles.com, from $36 a day; Willunga Farmers Market, Willunga Town Square, Saturday mornings; Russell's Pizza, 13 High St., 011-61/8-8556-2571, open for Friday and Saturday dinners only (reservations suggested), pizzas from $23.

About Fluoride Treatments
There are patients who don't have an ideal oral care routine and this can lead to many tooth decay and oral cavities. To help developing or weakened teeth, a professional fluoride therapy may be performed at DentalWorks - Irving Park by our dentists in Chicago, IL to strengthen and remineralize the teeth. Fluoride is a natural mineral that is often added to tap water systems. In addition, it is also in most toothpastes in small quantities to fortify the dental enamel. A professional fluoride treatment at DentalWorks - Irving Park uses a safe, but effective dose of fluoride to protect the teeth against cavities. Fluoride treatments can be given in different forms (gel, foam, varnish) with two different types of fluoride. This may include neutral sodium fluoride for patients who have dry mouth and dental restorations or acidulated phosphate fluoride for healthy teeth.
What to Expect with Fluoride Treatment
Fluoride treatments are often given twice a year following the patient's dental cleaning and exam or as often as our dentists recommend. The clean teeth are dried to avoid diluting the strength of the fluoride, then the treatment is administered to the patient as a foam, gel, or varnish that is left on for 1 - 4 minutes. To make fluoride treatments easier, our dentists will often mix in a flavor chosen by the patient. Once the fluoride treatment is complete, patients should be careful to spit all fluoride out of their mouth to prevent negative side effects after the treatment.
Fluoride Treatment Treatment Aftercare
To ensure the fluoride fully penetrates the enamel, patients should not drink, eat, or smoke for at least 30 minutes after their fluoride treatment. Swallowing any of the fluoride may cause temporary nausea, but this should not last more than 24 hours. While fluoride can be dangerous in high doses, our dentists take care to give each patient a safe level of fluoride during their procedure at DentalWorks - Irving Park.
Fluoride Treatment More Information
Fluoride Treatment Insurance Coverage
Fluoride treatments are considered a preventative measure and are usually covered by dental insurance for children who are less than 16 years old twice a year as their teeth are growing. Insurance coverage for an adult who gets a professional fluoride procedure varies, so DentalWorks - Irving Park will confirm the patient's policy benefits and decide their personal expenses. For patients who don't have dental insurance coverage, DentalWorks - Irving Park offers various payment options and financing plans.
Plan Your Procedure
Fight with Fluoride
To assist children's developing teeth or adults who are prone to infections, a thorough fluoride treatment after a dental exam and cleaning at DentalWorks - Irving Park can strengthen and protect the dental enamel. Ask our dentists about the benefits of fluoride treatments in DentalWorks - Irving Park's Chicago, IL office and prescription fluoride treatments for home. This will help to remineralize the enamel and decrease the risk of cavities and decay for ideal oral health.

Unless you've hacked your iPhone and turned it into a jailbroken, SNES-rockin pirating party, you probably can't use it to play Zelda.
Good thing there's My Little Hero, a lovely top-down action-adventure that channels the spirit of Link in almost everything it does, from its spammy one-button hack-n-slash combat to its top-left-corner heart gauge.
But while My Little Hero certainly feels like a Zelda game, it sure doesn't look like one: its aesthetics are more reminiscent of a Tim Burton film than any of Miyamoto's cartoony (or even his less cartoony) masterpieces.
The premise: you're a little dude. A boogeyman comes to your room and steals all of your belongings. You have to go into a dream world (entrance: your closet) to get them back. You can walk around with the virtual button on the bottom-left corner of your touchscreen and attack enemies with the virtual button on the bottom-right corner of your touchscreen.
The downside to all this: there are few ways to comfortably hold your left thumb on the virtual joystick without bothering your thumb (at least on an iPad—I haven't tested the game out on an iPhone). My Little Hero, like many iPhone and iPad games before it, would be far more suited for a good old-fashioned controller.
Still, it's a fun romp through imaginative dreamworlds that are well-suited for short blasts of gaming pleasure. And since Nintendo ain't releasing Zelda: iPad Edition anytime soon, this is as close as you're gonna get.

David Colquhoun (2014) recently wrote "If you use p = 0.05 to suggest that you have made a discovery, you will be wrong at least 30% of the time." At the same time, you might have learned that if you set your alpha at 5%, the Type 1 error rate (or false positive rate) will not be higher than 5%. How are these two statements related?
First of all, the statement by David Colquhoun is obviously incorrect – peer reviewers nowadays are not what they never were – but we can correct his sentence by changing 'will' into 'might, under specific circumstances, very well be'. After all, if you would only examine true effects, you could never be wrong when you suggested, based on p = 0.05, that you made a discovery.
The probability that a statement about a single study being indicative of a true effect is correct, depends on the percentage of studies you do where there is an effect (H1 is true), and when there is no effect (H0 is true), the statistical power, and the alpha level. The false discovery rate is the percentage of positive results that are false positives (not the percentage of all studies that are false positives). If you perform 200 tests with 80% power, and 50% (i.e., 100) of the tests examine a true effect, you'll find 80 true positives (0.8*100), but in the 50% of the tests that do not examine a true effect, you'll find 5 false positives (0.05*100). For the 85 positive results (80 + 5), the false discovery rate is 5/85=0.0588, or approximately 6% (see the Figure below, from Lakens & Evers, 2014, for a visualization).
At the same time, the alpha of 5% guarantees that not more than 5% of all your studies will be Type 1 errors. This is also true in the Figure above. Of 200 studies, at most 0.05*200 = 10 will be false positives. This happens only when H0 is true for all 200 studies. In our situation, only 5 studies (2.5% of all studies) are Type 1 errors, which is indeed less than 5% of all the studies we've performed.
So what's the problem? The problem is that you should not try to translate your Type 1 error rate into the evidential value of a single study. If you want to make a statement about a single p < 0.05 study representing a true effect, there is no way to quantify this without knowing the power in the studies where H1 is true, and the percentage of studies where H1 is true. P-values and evidential value are not completely unrelated, in the long run, but a single study won't tell you a lot – especially when you investigate counterintuitive findings that are unlikely to be true.
So what should you do? The solution is to never say you've made a discovery based on a single p-value. This will not just make statisticians, but also philosophers of science, very happy. And instead of making a fool out of yourself perhaps as often as 30% of the time, you won't make a fool out of yourself at all.
A statistically significant difference might be 'in line with' predictions from a theory. After all, your theory predicts data patterns, and the p-value tells you the probability of observing data (or more extreme data), assuming the null hypothesis is true. 'In line with' is a nice way to talk about your results. It is not a quantifiable statement about your hypothesis (that would be silly, based on a p-value!), but it is a fair statement about your data.
P-values are important tools because they allow you to control error rates. Not the false positive discovery rate, but the false positive rate. If you do 200 studies in your life, and you control your error rates, you won't say that there is an effect, when there is no effect, more than 10 times (on average). That's pretty sweet. Obviously, there are also Type 2 errors to take into account, which is why you should design high-powered studies, but that's a different story.
Some people recommend lowering p-value thresholds to as much ass 0.001 before you announce a 'discovery' (I've already explained why we should ignore this), and others say we should get rid of p-values altogether. But I think we should get rid of 'discovery', and use p-values to control our error rates.
It's difficult to know, for any single dataset, whether a significant effect is indicative of a true hypothesis. With Bayesian statistics, you can convince everyone who has the same priors. Or, you can collect such a huge amount of data, that you can convince almost everyone (irrespective of their priors). But perhaps we should not try to get too much out of single studies. It might just be the case that, as long as we share all our results, a bunch of close replications extended with pre-registered novel predictions of a pattern in the data will be more useful for cumulative science than quantifying the likelihood a single study provides support for a hypothesis. And if you agree we need multiple studies, you'd better control your Type 1 errors in the long run.

BRISBANE, Australia, A ScanEagle unmanned aircraft system has been delivered to Japan by Australia's Insitu Pacific for use by the country's land self-defense force.
Insitu Pacific, a subsidiary of Insitu Inc. of the United States, said the aircraft was delivered to its partner Mitsubishi Heavy Industries.
"The benefits ScanEagle brings to Japan are substantial and this well-proven UAS could help save many lives in the future by getting information into the right hands quickly," said Insitu Pacific Director of Business Development Dale McDowall.
"The ScanEagle will enhance Japan's immediate response capability and we are very pleased to have developed such a great partnership with Sojitz Corp. and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries of Japan."
Insiti Pacific said the Japanese military identified the need for a UAS to assess damage and provide real-time information for first responders to natural and man-made disasters following the country's 2011 earthquake and tsunami.
The order for ScanEagle was made last year. The vehicle will undergo operational testing and evaluation by the JGSDF for 12 months before entering service.

Dr. DellaVecchia came to PBA after working as a post-doctoral research fellow at the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences/National Institutes of Health (NIEHS/NIH) in Research Triangle Park, N.C. As part of a team of scientists at NIEHS, he studied nucleotide excision repair (NER), a mechanism by which various species, from bacteria to humans, scan and repair DNA damage. Prior to working at NIEHS, he completed his doctoral work at the University of Florida, College of Pharmacy in the department of medicinal chemistry. While there, he utilized solid and solution phase peptide synthesis and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) to study a unique amino acid known as hypusine.
At PBA, Dr. DellaVecchia has the privilege of teaching both undergraduate and graduate students. He is currently teaching Medicinal Chemistry for undergraduate medicinal and biological chemistry majors in the chemistry department of the School of Arts and Sciences, as well as medicinal chemistry components of several team-taught pharmacotherapy courses in the Gregory School of Pharmacy's Pharm.D. program. He also serves as an advisor for undergraduate student research projects. While he enjoys discussing almost anything chemistry related, his favorite topic is medicinal chemistry. He is particularly enthusiastic about students' mastery of this important subject in order to ensure the well-rounded and chemically informed practice of pharmacy. Dr. DellaVecchia has recently initiated a teaching assistant program whereby Pharm.D. candidates from the Gregory School of Pharmacy participate as teaching assistants for undergraduate science courses and laboratories. He has also served as a summer science camp instructor for PBA Science Days (grades K-5th). He is a member of the American Chemical Society (ACS) and the American Association of Colleges of Pharmacy (AACP).

Vinyl mining: Dig deep for classic treasures
A number of my friends received record players over the holiday. Seeing them prodded me to fire up my own turntable after months of disuse. I encourage all music lovers to own a record player. I'm not here to have a dispute over which sounds better: vinyl or CD. They are just two completely different ways of listening to music.
I own a pretty extensive CD collection and got into buying vinyl regularly only in the last year. I honestly didn't know what I was missing. Whereas CD's are digitally recorded and crisper sounding, they lack the subtle imperfections that make the music come alive.
For instance, a good buddy of mine was given a copy of Miles Davis Kind of Blue. We both have heard the CD a thousand times, but hearing it on vinyl was a whole new experience. Through the crackles of the record you can hear John Coltrane breathing in his sax, Miles Davis shifting in his chair, and numerous other subtleties.
Pick up any classic record and hear these same things. Bob Marley and The Wailers' live recording Babylon By Bus is practically a different album on wax.
If you're a vinyl lover and want to beef up your collection, you needn't go to far. Charlottesville has a few places you can go digging for great records. There's Plan 9, which hosts a modest few shelves of oldies and new releases. If they don't have something, they usually can order it.
But let's face it, no one wants to pay big bucks for records these days. Part of the fun of owning a record player is "vinyl mining." "Vinyl mining" was coined decades ago by dj's who would dig through stacks of unorganized records to find rare music. The 'ville has a few good places to go mining.
CD's for Less has crates of used records for dirt cheap. Don't get discouraged by the overwhelming number of Billy Joel and Dr. Zhivago re-releases. There are some real winners in there. Spencer's 206 also has a humble collection to rifle through. But, the best place to find great vinyl is friends and family. Everyone has a relative with a bunch of old records in the basement.
Do us all a favor; don't let them go to waste. If you can't use them, I know someone who can.

Post subject: Visiting Paris in February
I will be visiting Paris 17-20 Feb 05; my second visit to a most beautiful city! Last trip, I visited the Louvre, Musee d'Orsay, Eiffel Tower, Montmartre, cruised the Seine, shopped at the Galerie Lafayette, saw a show at the Moulin Rouge. This time, we want to walk around various neighborhoods and have some great meals. Any advice? Where should I go, what should I see? Thank you in advance

Dear FondofElves (!)
Two charming areas of Paris that tourists often miss are the Parc Monceau
in the 8th arrondisement, and the area around St. Sulpice church on the left bank. The latter is a lively area of shops and restaurants, with an incredible pastry shop (I forget the name, but you'll know which one) and a chocolatier, I think it is called Piccolomini, that has the best chocolates I've ever eaten.
For restaurants, I always recommend Au Bon Accueil, a stone's throw from the eiffel tower on the left bank. Top quality bistro fare at unbelievably reasonable prices, and an excellent and reasonable wine list. I enjoyed my meal there better than at exorbitant, michelin-starred restaurants.

We never miss a trip out to the huge market (weekends) at Clingancourt. Crazy, crazy place! Lots of interesting antigues, lots of knock offs and junk too. Great people watching and street food. A tour of the sewers was absolutely fascinating as was a gentle walk around Pere LaChaise cemetery.(Oscar Wilde, Gertrude Stein and Alice, Jim Morrison and a cast of thousands). The old cathedral out at St. Denis is worth the trip as is a visit to the largely African and Arab market very close by. Another interesting if somewhat ghoulish excursion is a walk through the catacombs where the bones of many older cemeteries were reinterred after the city was redesigned.
we went to the Pantheon for the first time this last trip but it doesn't warrant a revisit.

The Institute du Monde Arabe is worth a visit and we followed our visit there with lunch at Le Hammon de la Mosque (opposite Jardin de Plantes). The mosque has been converted to a restaurant where you can have a full meal or just tea and Arabian sweets.

Everyone so far has given good recommendations for your upcoming trip. I'm heading back to Paris March 9 - 22, and can't wait! One of my favorite areas to explore is the Marais. A must-see in this area is the Picasso Museum. I find it to be one of the best in Paris. Also in the Marais - Place des Vosges. I believe it's the oldest square in Paris, and it's very lovely. The ground floor of the structure surrounding the square houses some decent shopping and galleries. There's a great restaurant there as well - Coconnas.
Mother is absolutely screaming for me to let you in.

An area that I think is really fun to walk is Rue Mouffetard. I found this area through a book of walks that a friend had brought along. I think it was called ParisWalks,
It points out lots of little detail about the areas you are walking through, including building details and history. It's really an interesting book.
Have fun!
Life should not be a journey to the grave with the idea of arriving safely in an attractive and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, caviar in one hand, cocktail in the other, body used up & worn out, & screaming, "WOW, what a ride!"

I second Brian's suggestion. The Marais is one of the most interesting areas in Paris. There are lots of fun shops, and that's where the best falafel is (L'As du Falafel). It's also the Jewish quarter, so there are lots of fabulous bakeries too. And the Place des Vosges is my favorite place in Paris. It's simply gorgeous, and a wonderful place to picnic (especially if it involves falafel) and people watch. It might be a bit cold right now though. Victor Hugo's house is nearby, but I wouldn't recommend going there (even though it's free).
My favorite museum in Paris is the medieval museum near the Sorbonne. It contains the gorgeous tapestries that depict the Lady with the Unicorn.
Have fun!

Post subject: Half-day cooking class in Paris?
I will be visiting Paris March 9-14, my second visit and I can hardly wait. I would love to take a half-day or day French cooking class (not desserts or baking). Any suggestions?
I'm staying on Ile Ste. Louie near Notre Dame. Any recommendations for little great not-too-expensive places to eat? Only French food, please. I can get other ethnicities in the states.
I'm bringing my camera so will spend much of my time taking photos and catching a few art museums (Rodin, Picasso) and hopefully some photo galleries. I noted all the other suggestions, too.

I'm new to this and to blogs in general so please excuse if I mess this up!

Karen - I can recommend the cooking demostration at the Ritz. I did it back in 2001 but I imagine it is still available. It was a 3 hour demo with French Chef and an English translator - and you get to eat the food at the end.
At the time I booked it on the Ritz website before we left on our trip.

Karen -- I think the Cordon Bleu program is also decent. My sister attended a half-day cooking demonstration when she visited me (when I was in Paris), and she learned how to make a full meal (and got to eat it, of course). There were quite a few one-day demonstrations, as I recall, and there were quite a few in English.
Your trip sounds like a lot of fun! If you hear a noise in the background, it's because I'm gnashing my teeth with envy.

Thanks Barbara and E! I'm going to check them both out. I'm really looking forward to this trip. Air France is having an airfare sale through today I think so perhaps you can take advantage of it, too?!? I found even 4 or 5 days is fantastic.

Riesling Report: Kung Fu Girl Riesling 2009
We're celebrating the Summer of Riesling by trying a different bottle every weekday. Got a favorite riesling? Recommend it in the comments!
I wish I could say this riesling kicked ass (since that's what they're going for with the name) but for me it was so-so. There's a splash of tangy lemon-lime flavor and hint of nectarine, plus a little fizz on the tongue and a tart green apple bite. But it lacked complexity and we weren't really detecting much minerality. This wine just isn't in the same echelon as the Poet's Leap (our reigning Washington State champion.)
At a hot-weather party, I'd be satisfied with drinking this, and it would work well with Thai dishes that have a hint of sweetness.
Around $14, sample provided for review.
