The one where Rachel gets our hopes up - by Danielle Fowler
Jennifer Aniston has continued to dominate the headlines after making her Instagram debut with a nostalgia-inducing Friends reunion and it may not be the last time we see the Central Perk regulars on the small screen.
Proving that they will in fact always be there for you (sorry), the actress has revealed that the '90s cast is "working on something".
WATCH BELOW: Jennifer Aniston Doesn't Know Why She Joined Instagram
During a surprise appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, the Hollywood heavyweight was asked about the possibility of a Friends reboot to which she all-too-swiftly replied: "No."
Of course, the news disheartened the audience who let out a collective sigh.
In a bid to reignite our intrigue, Aniston - who took on the role of Rachel Green in the cult US series - did offer hope for self-confessed binge-watchers of the show.
"Listen, we would love for there to be something, but we don't know what that something is," she teased. "So we're just trying. We're working on something."
Keen to garner more information, DeGeneres suggested that the forthcoming project could be a "huge, huge, huge movie."
'I don't… we don't know," the 50-year-old replied. "I don't want to lead people on..."
But it's a little late for that, as Aniston recently earned a Guinness World Record after posting a photograph of herself alongside the cast on Instagram.

And now we're Instagram FRIENDS too. HI INSTAGRAM 👋🏻
Stealing the crown from the Duke and Duchess of Sussex for amassing over one million followers in an impressive five hours and 16 minutes, Aniston kickstarted her feed with a photograph of a recent Friends reunion.
Tugging at our heartstrings, the image depicts Phoebe (Lisa Kudrow), Chandler (Matthew Perry), Courteney Cox (Monica), Matt LeBlanc (Joey) and David Schwimmer (Ross) all beaming at the camera alongside the caption: "And now we're Instagram FRIENDS too. HI INSTAGRAM." The record-breaking snap marked the first time the six of them have been photographed together since the hit series left our television screens back in 2004 and we haven't been able to stop talking about it since.

But DeGeneres thinks there's more behind the picture than meets the eye and hinted that the long-awaited dinner was actually a business meeting.
"We did that because we miss each other and we all happened to be in the same part of the world," Aniston claimed.
"Right. Nobody falls for that, Jen," DeGeneres replied. "Nobody's like, 'Well let's all get together 'cause we haven't seen each other...'"
Though it's not the first time Aniston has teased the dangerous possibility of a reunion-of-sorts either.
Back in June, the actress admitted that she's keen to reprise the role of Rachel during an interview with DeGeneres.
"Ohhh-kay. Why not?" Aniston said. "You know what, because, listen, I told you this: I would do it. The girls would do it and the boys would do it, I'm sure. Listen, anything could happen."

Seemingly referencing Schwimmer's refusal to take part in a reboot last January, the chat show host replied: "Even if someone can't do it…?"
"Yes, I can do it," Aniston quipped. "I can do it by myself. Who needs the other? Those are just - they take me down."
Well isn't that just kick-you-in-the-crotch, spit-on-your-neck fantastic?

This chicken dish lights up with the rich, fruity flavor and tang of Moro blood oranges. The chicken is both marinated and poached in juice along with white wine, garlic, and herbs for a dish that is moist and full of taste.
The evening before, pour the juice from 2 of the Moro blood oranges into a glass dish. Marinate the chicken breasts overnight, or at least 4 to 6 hours.
When you are ready to cook, take the chicken out of the marinade and discard the juice.
Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil to a heavy skillet.
Season each chicken breast with salt and pepper on both sides. Brown in the skillet about 5 minutes on each side.
Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside in a dish covered with foil.
Add the butter to the skillet until it melts.
Add red onion and garlic and cook until softened or about 5 to 10 minutes.
Add the juice from the remaining 3 blood oranges, orange zest, broth, white wine, parsley, and sage. Reduce heat to a low setting and simmer, covered, for about 15 minutes. Turn chicken breasts once about halfway through the process.
Place the cooked chicken on a serving platter.
Add 1 tablespoon honey to the pan juices and simmer about 2 to 3 minutes, until it thickens.
Pour pan sauce over chicken and serve immediately.

How do I know what replacement windows I need?
Examining all of your available options for replacement windows in Needham may seem overwhelming on your own. That is why our team of dedicated professionals at GF Sprague is committed to helping you in every step of the process. We will assist you in determining the styles, sizes, materials, and brands of windows that best fit your home.
Casement windows: Casement windows look great in any home. These windows are hinged on the side and open outward to the right or left. They are typically taller than they are wide, and their sash opens in order to allow for air passage. Casement windows are advantageous because they provide an unobstructed view to the outdoors.
Double hung windows: When comparing your options for replacement windows, double hung windows are a great option to consider. Double hung windows feature two sash in a single frame that slide up and down in order to allow for ventilation. They are commonly used near patios and walkways when window replacement is desired.
Bay & bow windows: Bay & bow windows are a popular choice because of their elegant look. Bay & bow windows are window combinations that project outward from a home. There are many different styles and designs available for these replacement windows. They are widely used in dining rooms and living rooms.
Hopper windows: Hopper windows are more about function than aesthetics. They open inward from the top and are typically used in basements, garages, and attics. A hopper window is ideal for parts of the home where space is restricted, but airflow is a necessity.
Awning windows: Not only do awning windows provide an unobstructed view to the outdoors, but they also allow for increased ventilation. These windows are hinged at the top and open outward. They are generally wider than they are tall, and their entire sash opens to allow maximum airflow.
Sliding windows: Sliding windows and doors provide homes with both beauty and versatility. They are characterized by having one or more panels that slide past another panel to open the door or window. Sliding windows and doors are a popular choice for living rooms, kitchens, and patios.
Replaced the damaged area around the skylight. Put in a new skylight. One mores tep until completion!
Do you live on a noisy street, near other homes or a major roadway? An often-overlooked benefit of replacement windows are their noise reduction qualities. A quality replacement window, installed by a professional, can act as a soundproof window by helping to eliminate unwanted sound pollution. This is because replacement windows usually employ double or even triple panes of glass, insulated frames, and they are sealed correctly to prevent energy loss as well as unwanted noise.
Our top priority is to help you enjoy your home once again, and replacement soundproof windows can improve your home environment in a number of ways. We'll be happy to discuss all of the benefits of your new replacement windows with you when we visit your home!

Grassroots music: the rebirth of political folk
March 12, 2019 March 12, 2019 ~ Michael Stevenson
In 2019, British and Irish folk music is more exciting and urgent than it's been for years. Much of it sounds powerfully raw and immediate, with many groups recognising the politics of our times in their songs, and incorporating contemporary stories within more ancient musical motifs. Here are bands confronting the legacies of abortion rights; the oppression of women, homosexuals and other minority communities; the loss of minority language; the refugee crisis; and stories of people who have stood up to hate. They're not doing so in browbeating, bluntly obvious ways either. Some are uncovering small but powerful stories of overlooked people, whose achievements we can learn from. Others are creating more oblique and moving work, highlighting the injustices that linger in our society.
Many younger makers of modern folk grew up during the turn-of-the-century indie-folk revival, where taboos surrounding less popular singing styles and traditional songs started to disappear. A steady flow of reissues by the likes of Bert Jansch, Shirley Collins and Lal and Mike Waterson has since revealed how much of our country's folk culture had been neglected.
We could call this explosion "woke" folk – though there's much more to this disparate collection of acts than a slogan. Some have an experimental edge, incorporating influences from other genres such as krautrock. Some are more accessible and rousing, but all of the British and Irish artists that follow here share a common musical sensibility: they sing in recognisable voices, without varnish and sheen, delivering messages straight and sure about who we were, and who we are now.
Grace Petrie
Leicester-based singer-songwriter and activist who found her calling as a political folk musician after the 2010 general election
It's rare that an interview can vindicate the wishes of an artist. Rare, but possible. In 2016, the self-proclaimed "radically feminist and radically leftwing" musician Grace Petrie released the song, I Wish the Guardian Believed That I Exist, in response to an article in the paper lamenting the current lack of protest singers in folk music.
In fact, by that point the Leicester-based singer-songwriter had been making politically charged protest music for six years, since the release of her breakthrough single Farewell to Welfare. In that fierce, guitar-driven number, Petrie found a new calling as a political folk musician, spurred by the 2010 general election and the Tories' subsequent coming to power, propped up by the Liberal Democrats. "It was when the government changed in 2010 that I started thinking a lot more about austerity and there seemed to be much more to protest about," says the 31-year-old, when I speak to her over the phone from Leicester. "It hit closer to home how things would change, to impact my life and those of the people I knew. Nine years on and this regime of austerity has left Britain unrecognisable."
Before the explicit political references began appearing, though, Petrie describes the music she used to make as "abstractly political". "When I was a teenager I was writing what I saw as pop songs – songs about my love life, because that's what pop songs are about – but my love life concerned girls, since I wasn't in love with boys," she says. "I never saw that as a political act initially, but now I see it as a really political thing; the visibility of queer musicians and centring that in lyrics."
This visibility still sits on the fringes of the music industry. Having self-funded her first eight albums, she released last year's Queer As Folk through crowdfunding, still eluding major-label interest. "My career has been completely outside the mainstream and I've never known it to be any different," Petrie says. Even the folk traditionalists were proving hard to win over. "The content of folk songwriting at the moment can be amazingly radical," she continues, "but I'm not sure the audiences are with them all the time. You have your very wealthy, white, Telegraph-reading folk-club regulars who are happy to hear a song about the peasants' revolt, but if you talk about food banks in their town, that's seen as really uncouth. You notice this awkward shuffle go across the room."
So it must have been an extra slight to read that newspaper story about a lack of politics in folk. "I can't stand those articles," Petrie says. "Invariably it's written by someone whose heyday was in the 80s and they're writing the same boring and incorrect story about how there is no political music any more. Well, it's almost impossible not to write political music in the state we're in now, and this scene is radical and vibrant – you just have to open your ears to it."
Determined to keep spreading her message – newspaper articles or not – Petrie has just performed a mini-tour with all-female folk "supergroup" Coven to mark International Women's Day, and is embarking on her own solo dates throughout the UK. "Everyone in society has a collective responsibility to make sure nobody is left behind," she says, "and I still have enormous hope in the young people of this country to change the trajectory we're going in. This music may be a way to reach them." Ammar Kalia
Petrie's UK and Ireland tour starts on 11 April at The Spirit Store, Dundalk
Dublin four-piece who write about illegal abortions, poverty and emigration are known for their full-throttle live shows
It's a late winter's afternoon in Derry, the Northern Irish border town holding its breath as it awaits 29 March. In the town's strikingly modern Cultúrlann Uí Chanáin [the Irish language, arts and cultural enterprise centre, built in 2008 with Arts Council funding], the band playing tonight are putting the world to rights over Tayto crisps in the cafe. With their tattoos and punky, pared-down clothes, they look like the Pixies – but they're more likely to be the next Pogues.
"Brexit is weirdly hilarious," says singer-guitarist Daragh Lynch, his tattooed wrists revealing a teenage love of Guns N' Roses (a huge, ancient tree, much more in line with his band Lankum's music now, gnarls up his left arm). "The way Britain has treated Ireland in the past, and how now Britain is pulling itself apart." He shrugs. "Well, it would be funny if it wasn't actually happening."
"I heard the DUP don't believe that dinosaurs existed," adds fiddle-player Cormac Mac Diarmada, and the rest of the band fall about laughing, shaking their heads. Tonight's gig is just around the corner from Rossville Street on the Bogside, where Bloody Sunday happened 47 years ago. Here, the impact of Brexit will be felt immediately. Singer Ian Lynch, Daragh's brother, who took up the uilleann pipes in his mid-20s, and went back to college to study Irish language and folklore, mentions how weak the DUP's hold is within Northern Ireland: 56% of people here voted to remain in the EU. Radie Peat adds quietly how hypocritical it is that they're demanding to have parity with the UK in Brexit negotiations while abortion still remains illegal here.
That subject has particular resonance for Lankum, a band who weave politics subtly through their bible-black, poetic songs. An original song of theirs, The Granite Gaze, references the women who had to "sneak away across the foam" to Britain for terminations before the referendum in the Irish Republic last year; they played it at a protest when the pope visited Dublin in August 2018. They also did so outside the city's last Magdalene Laundry, one of Ireland's notorious houses of confinement for "fallen women". "It only closed in 1996," Peat points out, her eyes looking cold at the thought. "It felt very special singing it there. And after the referendum…" She smiles. "I love singing that line now."
Of all modern folk bands, Lankum are the most full-throttle, jaw-dropping bunch. Signed to indie titans Rough Trade in 2017, where they are the favourite band of label-mates Sleaford Mods, they mix stunning versions of traditional songs with modern originals about poverty and injustice – as well as more raucous jigs about drunkenness and strange old men. Their sound is uncompromisingly experimental at times. Radie Peat's stark vocals are full of darkness and grit, while the band loop and amplify droning notes from Ian's pipes, plus Radie's harmonium and accordion. They love Krautrock: Neu! are favourites to play in their tour van. Their unofficial "fifth member", studio and live sound mixer, John "Spud" Murphy, is also obsessed with early 90s noisemakers My Bloody Valentine. Experience the band's long, dark, powerful sets, and it shows.
Lankum began as a punky folk project between the brothers in 2008 – back then, they were known as Lynched. Radie and her schoolfriend Cormac, who was brought up playing and singing folk, joined later. Their 2014 debut album, Cold Old Fire, was funded by an Irish Arts Council grant, its title track showing how Lankum married a contemporary social sensibility with an understanding of their country's past. It's a sad, beautiful original by Daragh about Dublin's unemployment crisis after 2008, written while he was unemployed himself. "We look for signs that Dublin's heart's still beating," he sings, "That concrete and glass… they haven't stopped the people from screaming".
Recognition came quickly with a 2015 performance on Later… With Jools Holland, and then came the prospect of an American tour. Before it, however, they changed their name – eyebrows had been raised among their fans in that country, and they listened. "We will not continue to work under our current name while the systemic persecution and murder of black people in the USA continues," said a statement from the band in 2016."We'd been feeling uncomfortable," Ian explains. "It was just a play on words initially. But if we wanted to take our music in the way that we wanted to take it, we had to think about everything." Not that they avoided dark shadows completely: they named themselves Lankum after a murderous protagonist in an Irish traveller's version of one of the Roud ballads.
Their first album for Rough Trade, October 2017's Between the Earth and Sky, showed that social subjects were still central to their identity. Travellers' song What Will We Do When We Have No Money? began it, encouraging reflection on a contemporary world bruised by austerity and the normalisation of food banks. The album also includes the anti-fascist ballad Peat Bog Soldiers, well known for being covered by the Dubliners – it's a song that's a highlight of Lankum's live gigs, as it is tonight.
If their approach is intense, their live shows aren't bleak at all; they often include moments of absolute joy. Tonight, Ian and Daragh are hilarious on stage, constantly ribbing each other, shouting out a happy birthday to their Uncle Conal who's in the audience A nice dollop of self-deprecation makes their harsher moments easier too. "Shall we sing some Axl Rose? No, let's sing a bloody dirge for 10 minutes!" Daragh says. Then later: "Lets attempt to fuse Neu! With some Donegal fiddle music, all right!"
Something Ian said earlier, over the crisps, lingers in my mind. "The unpretentiousness of folk, and that atmosphere of community – that really caught us early on. And that feels pretty radical in this day and age." Coming together, and exploring everything intensely and intimately – what a way to push folk forward. Jude Rogers
Lankum's Between the Earth and Sky is out now on Rough Trade Records
Lisa O'Neill
Irish musician tackling difficult subjects with 'otherworldly' vocals
In London to sing an old ballad, The Lass of Aughrim, on Radio 4's Loose Ends, Lisa O'Neill sits in an old pub in central London, looking like she should be shot in sepia. She is wearing a cloche hat, a secondhand coat cloaking her small bones, and her face has a resting expression that suggests, strongly, that you would not want to mess.
But then she takes her drink and starts talking, and you fall into her world. She's warm, quiet and thoughtful, a timeless old soul. And then you think of that voice when she sings, and what she says lingers a little deeper. It's a voice that sang Fairytale of New York at Shane MacGowan's 60th birthday celebrations in Dublin last year, alongside The Commitments' star Glen Hansard. Nick Cave and Sinéad O'Connor also watched as she sang.
Her vocals have an unvarnished, otherworldly power, full of the bite of alternative singers such as Kristin Hersh and Joanna Newsom, and traditional singers recorded on wax cylinders – albeit with a heavy Irish accent whisked in (O'Neill is from rural County Cavan, on the border with Northern Ireland). She sings sparsely arranged songs about past times that still resonate, often the stories of women. There's Irish ballad The Factory Girl, in which a proud, working woman turns down the attentions of a rich man ("Young man, have manners and do not insult me/ For although I'm a poor girl I think it no shame"). Then there's one of her own, Violet Gibson, about the woman who tried to assassinate Mussolini. Her lyrics pack a distinctive, harsh style: "I didn't shoot to skim the skin on his snout/ Nor the teeth on the lips on his mouth".
There's also songs about poverty, like Rock the Machine, which talks about the lingering psychological effects of mechanisation on Dublin's dockers. "I like to shine a light on forgotten people and tougher subjects and bring them into the medium of the folk song," O'Neill explains. "Sometimes I carry subjects with me for a while. I don't rush them. They're seeds that I water. I want to be sitting in a feeling, exploring it." The homelessness crisis in Ireland is one of those seeds now, she says.
She likes to couch difficult subjects within natural images: she loves writing about birds, the seasons and dreams. "I like to pose questions about harder things and question the things when we were young and innocent, or allowed to be more young and innocent."
She self-released three albums of more indie-flecked originals before being signed to Rough Trade subsidiary label River Lea in 2018, and says that traditional music has drawn her like a moth to a flame in recent years. She wonders if this is partly about getting older (she's 36: "you just grow up, and start tuning in," she says), or because she's been enjoying delving through the Irish Traditional Music Archive in Dublin.
But it's also because the exploration of folk is a reaction to the modern world, she says. "We're always told life is fast. But life can be slower. You can teach yourself things if you sit back." She thinks traditional songs have a directness that many songs don't. "A folk song demands you be present. People want to be present." She looks me straight in the eye as she says this, and the power of Lisa O'Neill – the music and the person – digs into my bones. "That's what we all want, isn't it? To be human. And that's what I want to write about. All of it." JR
Teesside trio inspired by Ewan McColl and Peggy Seeger whose singalong music celebrates real heroes
"So, when Nick Griffin said people should listen to English folk music…" Suddenly the green room of the Apex in Bury St Edmunds, which I am connected to via Skype, descends into rowdy noise. The three County Durham men creating the chaos are the Young'uns – Sean Cooney, who's speaking, Michael Hughes and David Eagle – having downtime before the latest leg of their tour tonight. "He just doesn't get it, does he?" says Cooney, the band's main songwriter. "Folk music is about pleasure and fellowship. And within that, you can change perceptions, if you do it right."
In the last few years, the Young'uns have certainly done that. Teenage friends who chanced upon a folk session in their local pub a decade ago, they make deeply rousing, traditional, singalong music – but their subjects will surprise newcomers. On their last conventional album, 2017's Strangers, Be the Man was inspired by the true story of Matthew Ogston, a man whose fiance, Nazim Mahmood, killed himself because his family couldn't accept his homosexuality ("my love took his own life because of bigotry", go the lyrics). Then there was Ghafoor's Bus, a song about a Teesside garage owner, Ghafoor Hussain, who took a team of volunteers across Europe to feed refugees (the band later met him for a video online).
"I thought about doing Be the Man for a year before I actually did it, to get it right," says Cooney. The Young'uns' audience prefer an older, more traditional kind of folk music. "Some nights, I do wonder about how singing it will go down with certain people in the crowd," he adds. But the band have had audience members thanking them, even sharing stories about their children coming out. "And that's worth everything. We've made a conscious attempt to write songs about things that moved us – so we must be doing something right!"
Another real-life Teessider appeared on Strangers too: Johnny Longstaff, a 17-year-old boy who committed his life to fighting fascism in the 30s (firstly against Britain's Blackshirts, then in the Spanish civil war, then in the second world war). The Young'uns came across Longstaff after his son, Duncan, had approached them at a gig with a picture of his late father and a timeline of his life, wondering if he could possibly inspire a song. "Him being born in Stockton-on-Tees, just like us, had an effect pretty quickly," Hughes says. Soon they heard Johnny's voice too, on recordings he'd made for the Imperial War Museum; the north-eastern cadences, warmth and humour, were as instantly recognisable as their own. The Young'uns' first song about Johnny was Cable Street, one of the highlights of Strangers. "Then 15 more followed," Cooney adds, and the band laughs.
The British and Irish folk scenes have been galvanised by acts that weave today's politics into their traditional music [ . . . ]

Barrow v Posh 10 Dec 60
Venue: Holker Street, Barrow
Score: Barrow 2 v Peterborough Utd 1
Referee: J. Kelly.
After their brilliant displays against Torquay Utd and Millwall in recent weeks Peterborough United really disappointed everyone, including themselves, with their performance against Barrow. Had they produced the same form as they did against Millwall then Posh would have won with ease
As it was they seemed to have lost their sparkle. The defence, with the possible exception of Norman Rigby, had a nightmare of a match and the forwards didn't seem capable of breaking through the rugged home defence.
Barrow took the points by the margin of a single goal, but United might well have lost by two or three more goals.
Surprisingly Barrow were quicker on the ball than Posh, particularly in the first half. Everything they tried went right while United could do little to stop them.
Only some great defensive work by Rigby who had one of his best games of the season kept Barrow at bay for so long.
Their moves were crude and obvious but the produced two goals before half time.
The first should never have been, Jack Walls had ample time to see a centre from Kemp's corner kick on the left wing but he moved too late and palmed the ball into his own net.
This shock for United came after only seven minutes and it did a lot to unsettle the team which had obviously been struggling to find its feet.
Barrow pressed home their advantage and the result was a shaky Posh defence and a virtually ineffective forward line.
It was no surprise when the home side went further ahead midway through the first half, centre forward Lowes beating Walls with a low shot.
The United wing halves never really got a grip on play in midfield and Barrow always appeared to be on the attack.
Dennis Emery and Ray Smith worked hard to get United on the attack, but with Terry Bly having a difficult time in the middle most of the moves had to come from the wingers.
Both Peter McNamee and Billy Hails found themselves up against tough opponents with the result that Posh had only a few shots at goal before the interval.
United's only hopes seemed to lie in a second half rally sparked off by an early goal. Ray Smith got the goal shortly after the re-start when he ran in to score with the home side appealing for offside.
The rally followed according to plan, but Barrow's defence was master of every situation and United's attempt to get on level terms failed miserably.
Posh: Jack Walls, Dick Whittaker, Jim Walker, Jim Rayner, Norman Rigby, Keith Ripley, Billy Hails, Dennis Emery, Terry Bly, Ray Smith and Peter McNamee.
Barrow: Lowes, Kemp, rest unknown.
Goals: Posh – Ray Smith 66 mins. Barrow – Jack Walls (Own Goal) 7 mins and Lowes 27 mins.


Fantastic that Linda responded. Wonderful recipe ideas - and I've bookmarked the book for buying.
Darls, I hope things calm down for you - and that you have lots of autumnal fun in that there garden of yours.
Hi Lucy! How are you? I can't wait to read more and more about your new place. My busy-ness is largely my own fault--I must start stopping. Stopping could be good.
Just had some shrimp with your spicy chile-garlic sauce! So delicious! I'm looking forward to the November market!
Have you had time to plant next summer's garlic crop, or do you have another month yet?
We have 16 varieties in the ground. All but two types have green above the ground. I'm hoping they've rooted well enough not to heaved from the bed if we get a typical "cold/warm/cold/hot/cold/warm" winter!
MuseBootsi: I'm so glad you enjoyed it. I'm making a couple more batches for the upcoming market. I look forward to seeing you there.
Say What?: Hello! How are you? I put my garlic in on the 10th or so of October, and most of the varieties have a couple inches of growth. I'm growing 17 varieties this year--it's like we're living parallel garlic worlds! I hope your winter treats you well.
I hears ya on the stopping thing.
It occurred to me the other night that I need to stop, too, lest I stop noticing things that matter!
Writing the beginnings of something about the place...feels hard for some reason. Anyhoo, I met the man who used to do our garden (and who lives in a goldrush era church...jealous? me??) who told me it's peony country. How exciting is that?
Will email you when my brain simmers down. Stop, gorgeous. You deserve it!!
Oh! I just saw the directions in your post. I was so excited about the possibility of canning it that I didn't read as carefully as I should have!

Vitamin E and Vitamin C Beneficial in Fatty Liver Disease: - Article
Vitamin E and Vitamin C Beneficial in Fatty Liver Disease
Healthnotes Newswire (February 12, 2004)Supplementing with vitamins E and C may improve liver fibrosis in people with nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), according to a new study in The American Journal of Gastroenterology (2003;98:2485-90).
NASH is an advanced form of a group of conditions collectively referred to as nonalcoholic fatty liver disease. Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease is usually not life threatening; however, in some cases the NASH form may lead to the progressive formation of abnormal fibrous tissue in the liver (fibrosis), eventually culminating in generally irreversible liver damage (cirrhosis of the liver), liver failure, or liver cancer. NASH is often associated with obesity, high blood levels of fats (called lipids), diabetes, and high blood pressure.
Although the disease process is not completely understood, some factors are thought to contribute to the development of NASH. These include insulin resistance (the reduced ability of the body to respond to circulating levels of insulin); free-radical damage to fatty acids in the body, leading to inflammation and eventual tissue death and liver fibrosis; and dietary habits that cause blood fats to accumulate in the liver. Since there is no cure for NASH, most treatment plans are aimed at reducing the risk factors. Current recommendations may include lipid regulation (reduction of blood fats by dietary changes, nutritional supplementation, or lipid-lowering medications), gradual weight loss, insulin sensitizers (agents that enhance the body's response to insulin), and supplementation with antioxidants. New drugs are also being investigated.
This study was designed to determine the response of various parameters of liver health in people with NASH when treated with the antioxidant vitamins E and C. Specifically, liver inflammation and tissue death (necrosis), liver fibrosis, and liver enzymes (a measure of liver inflammation) were assessed. People with a diagnosis of NASH were randomly assigned to take either (1) vitamin E (1,000 IU) and vitamin C (1,000 mg) or (2) placebo every day for six months. Both groups were encouraged to follow a weight-loss program and to consume less than 30 grams of fat per day. The vitamin group participants had a higher incidence of diabetes than the placebo group. Liver biopsies were performed pre- and post-treatment. No significant side effects were noted in the 45 people who completed the trial.
At the end of the six-month period, there was a small, yet statistically significant improvement in fibrosis scores in the vitamin group but not the placebo group. No difference was noted in the inflammation or necrosis scores between the groups. In general, there was a trend toward more improvement in fibrosis scores in those people with more severe fibrosis. Among non-diabetic participants, there was no significant change in fibrosis during the study in either group. Diabetics receiving vitamins E and C were found to have the most initial fibrosis and subsequently the most improvement in fibrosis during the study period.
These results seem to indicate more benefit in diabetics with more severe fibrosis. However, because the number of diabetics in the vitamin group was not matched in the placebo group it cannot be said with certainty that people with NASH who take vitamins E and C will benefit. Further studies are needed to investigate the usefulness of vitamin E and C supplementation in people with NASH and to confirm the finding of selective improvement in diabetics with more severe fibrosis. Little or no change was seen in the level of liver enzymes during the study.
Previous preliminary studies have reported similar findings of reduced liver inflammation and fibrosis and lowered liver enzymes following treatment with vitamin E.
NASH may be best treated using a multifaceted approach aimed at addressing the underlying causes and preventing further damage. The results of this study are promising, as fibrosis scores actually improved over the study period. Since the amount of fibrosis is more predictive of disease severity than liver enzyme levels, an improvement in fibrosis may translate to a decreased likelihood of progression to cirrhosis and liver failure.

Hello Pilots, and Players I'm in need of some help. I have a pedal project for the G27, but my system works with inverted Axis try to follow some tips here of the forum nothing happened.
Could someone help me? I am the translator of the Gimx Launcher Application, I know that it is little more accurate than this extreme help !! TKS !!!!
Just override your config with the official one.
It would be nice if you could update the translation you made a year ago so that I can add it into the next version.
Sorry if I was not so clear, I need the configuration that reverses the axes by putting the negative values are not working .... ah Yes soon I will update the translation !!!
Just set a negative sensitivity. Since you messed a few things I still recommend to start from official config.
Basically would it? Does this already reverse my axes?
Sorry, I failed to read even the title. I thought you wanted to reverse the wheel axis.
Why are your pedal axes inverted?
Re: Use G29 as G27?
I moved your last post since I think it was in the wrong topic.
Open your config with gimx-config, go to the Axis tab, select a line in the table, and click on Modify. Then click on Auto-detect, press the pedal axis, and perform calibration. Click on Apply. Do the same for the other pedals.Save your config.
I'll try this setup !! Thank you so much for your help! keep informed here about the final solution!

How to manage the global economy - and, more fundamentally, whether humanity wishes it to go in an ever more market-oriented, transnational corporation-dominated, and capital-footloose direction - is the most important international question of our time. In this short and trenchant history of those bodies -- the World Bank, IMF, WTO, and Group of Seven -- which have promoted this economic globalization, Walden Bello:
- Points to their manifest failings;
- Examines the major new ideas put forward for reforming the management of the world economy;
- Argues for a much more fundamental shift towards a decentralized, pluralistic system of global economic governance allowing countries to follow development strategies sensitive to their own values and particular mix of constraints and opportunities.

NANTICOKE - The Honey Pot Volunteer Fire Department is out of service as city police investigate a massive theft from its affiliated social club that led to its utilities being shut off.
Nanticoke police Chief Tom Wall confirmed his department is investigating the theft of tens of thousands of dollars from the Honey Pot Club social hall and a suspect has turned himself in.
The hall and fire department, which are affiliated but are two separate organizations, share the same building at 13 Honey Pot St.
Wall said the thief came to light when the utilities were shut off recently due to unpaid bills.
Wall said the suspect turned over a computer and told police how he had been skimming from the organizations finances for several years. Charges are pending the completion of the investigation.
The volunteer fire company on Wednesday said it was out of service for most calls due because power and water was shut off to its building.
"We feel the community should be well aware of the issue at hand and the fire company is not the one being investigated, as we have two organizations in the building," the fire company wrote on Facebook.
The volunteer department in the city's Honey Pot section is one of several that supplement Nanticoke full-time department.
When contacted, a representative of the fire department declined further comment.
Meanwhile, a post on the Honey Pot Club's Facebook page says there will be an "emergency meeting" for members of the private club on Friday at the West Side Park clubhouse on West Grand Street.
"We will only be able issue a basic statement due to the active investigation and be open help/thoughts to try to get things moving forward," the post said.

Tensilica reaches audio DSP milestones
April 24, 2012	News 487 Views
According to Rowen the audio market is looking for greater authenticity which will require companies to invest heavily in advanced audio capabilities.
"Advanced audio technologies include active noise control, beam forming microphone arrays and always-on voice recognition. The latter is being held back by battery technologies which aren't keeping pace with the rapid and continuous changes we're seeing in the audio market."
According to Larry Przywara, Tensilica's senior director of multimedia marketing, "By 2014 we expect to be shipping approximately one billion HiFi cores a year. The need to support a wide range of software packages, and the large costs associated with the support and maintenance, has resulted in many companies deciding to use our standard audio/voice DSPs. Plus, we've automated the process of customising all of our IP cores so companies can add essential features to differentiate their cores if required."
Tensilica has seen an explosion in the amount of software that needs to be supported, particularly complex software from industry giants like Dolby and DTS, and the effort to support and certify that software can be very expensive. (For example Tensilica supports seven Dolby and ten DTS audio packages on the HiFi Audio/Voice DSPs.)
Tensilica's third party audio enhancement software partners include Acoustic Technologies, AM3D, Arkamys, Audyssey, Dolby, DTS, QSound, Sensory, and SRS, and Tensilica is working with several more that will be announced later this year once the software is ported. While audio enhancement is essential for home entertainment and gaming, it is now becoming much more important for smartphones as sophisticated content is downloaded and phone makers try to improve voice quality in noisy locations. The audio/voice enhancement software packages range from echo cancellation to noise suppression, stereo widening, virtual surround sound, speech activation, equalization, and software to enhance 3D gaming.
Tensilica has added support for the Dynamic Resolution Adaptation (DRA) standard to its library of over 100 audio encoders, decoders and sound enhancement packages for its HiFi Audio DSP (digital signal processor) family. Now all products that include the HiFi Audio DSPs can be used to support the standard approved by the People"s Republic of China as the National Audio Standard (GB/T 22726-2008) for multi-channel audio decoding. Tensilica has delivered the HiFi DRA decoder to a number of Tier 1 system OEMs and semiconductor companies.
The company also revealed that it had moved its research and development centre in Pune, India, to a new building, doubling the space previously available. The company said that it planned to increase headcount by at least 50 percent in the next year.
Over the past six years, employees at the Pune R&D centre have become essential developers of Tensilica's dataplane processors (DPUs), which are used by chip designers to perform complex signal processing tasks, such as audio and baseband processing. Engineers at the centre have also been working on: audio and speech codecs for Tensilica's HiFi audio DSPs (digital signal processors), libraries, design verification, application engineering, and the IDE (integrated design environment) for Tensilica's DPUs.

The Climate Council has included Charles Darwin's ACIKE building in a list of the nation's greenest buildings for its smart design and latest technology.
The building features controlled air conditioning and motion-triggered, low-energy lighting. It maximises water efficiency by capturing water from the building's air conditioning and re-using it in outdoor ponds, waterfall and garden. Rainwater is also recycled and reused in the toilets and the garden.
Irwinconsult Project Manager and Environmentally Sustainable Development (ESD) Consultant Owen Tyson said that the firm guided the design team, including engineers, architect and interior designers, "regarding possible environmental sustainability options suitable for the hot, humid environment of Darwin and its remote location, aiming for an achievable 4 star Green Star rating given these restrictions."
Irwinconsult provided Structural, Civil, Building Services (except Mechanical) and ESD for the Australian Centre for Indigenous Knowledges and Education (ACIKE) project, with a particular focus on the performance of the building's fabric, sun shading, sustainability of materials used, indoor environmental quality and water.

What Is A DAW Program?
Just about anyone who has flair for music production or is simply enthusiastic about music has heard the term DAW. It is an acronym for Digital Audio Workstation and is essentially software designed for the purpose of recording, editing, and mixing digital audio.
Standalone systems are designed to look like a sound mixing desk that is equipped with an LCD screen. While the standalone DAW is great and has its uses and indeed strengths, this article will be focusing just on software DAWs.
While there are tons of these players available in the music production market, every music producer and artist wants to use the best software to produce their songs and this is where the idea of listing these products and prioritizing them stirs up a debate of which one is the best option for music production. It is important to note that each software and player alike has its strengths and perhaps depending on the user (artist, musician or producer) and circumstance it is being used for.
For the purpose of this article, however, we should be as impartial as we possibly can as we highlight the attributes of these programs.
Initially, there were 4 different types of music creating software program that existed as their own standalone programs. However, following the evolution of music production, these four erstwhile individual program functions have all become fused into what we now know to be standard software DAWs.
The 4 types are digital audio processor, music notation editor, virtual instrument, and MIDI sequencer.
The digital audio processor is essentially a program designed for recording, editing, and mixing digital audio information.
The MIDI sequencer is designed to record, edit and mix MIDI information.
A virtual instrument a plug-in that accepts MIDI information then assigns it to various pre-recorded sampled sounds.
A music notation editor enables users to create music by inputting notes straight on to a virtual stave. Essentially digital sheet music.
A modern DAW simply incorporates most of or all these four kinds of programs into their software to make a one-stop shop for music creators. The simple combination of essential functions like a digital audio processor, music notation editor, virtual instrument, and MIDI sequencer, the software ha evolved into an impressive tool for music production.
Depending on the power of your PC (Personal Computer), a DAW is able to record, edit and mix. There are 3 primary components that are necessary for a system like this to function well.
Personal Computer: This serves as not only the core power provider but also the information processor and in most cases, disk storage place for audio and music data.
DAW Software: This provides the visual timeline of the music with features necessary to record, edit and mix music.
Sound Card: Also known as the audio interface. The sound card enables conversion of audio from analogue information to digital information such that the new sound information can be recorded to and played back from the 2 components above.
Some DAW's can work on any system you use to operate however check before purchasing the music production software to ensure that your OS and your DAW are compatible.
Most people consider Pro Tools, Logic or Cubase to be the most popular but we believe that both popularity and "best" is very dependent on individual perspective and music production preferences.
While we have promised not to be biased in our judgment of each DAW, based on experience, functionality, and ease of use, we say Pro Tools is perhaps the most preferred DAW program in the music production business, closely followed by the trio of Logic, Ableton Live, and Cubase.
In conclusion, your choice of a DAW program depends on what music you want to create and your preference of how to create it. Its all about what works best for you!

Roche's Tecentriq becomes 1st immunotherapy to win indication for SCLC
HOME Pharma
By Lee Han-soo
Roche Korea has received approval from the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety for a combination treatment consisting of Tecentriq and chemotherapy as the first immunotherapy to treat small cell lung cancer (SCLC).
Roche Korea's immunotherapy Tecentriq
SCLC is a carcinoma that has had a high unmet medical need for the past 20 years as there were no treatment options other than chemotherapy. Due to the high malignancy and poor treatment prognosis, the five-year survival rate is 6.5 percent, only a quarter of that of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
Tecentriq combination therapy, which had demonstrated more than one year of overall survival (OS) in SCLC, had received a recommendation as Category 1 in the National Comprehensive Cancer Network guidelines.
The ministry approved the combination based on the results of a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled phase 3 IMpower133 clinical study, which validated the efficacy and safety of Tecentriq combination therapy in 403 patients with advanced-stage SCLC.
The results showed that the median OS for Tecentriq combination therapy was 12.3 months, and reduced the risk of death by 30 percent compared to the control group. Also, 51.7 percent of patients receiving the combination had a one-year survival rate.
The safety profile of the therapy was consistent with previously reported safety profiles for individual drugs.
"We are pleased to offer new anticancer drug-based treatment options for patients with SCLC who have not had access to new treatment options for a long time," Roche Korea CEO Nic Horridge said. "As Roche has built a 360-degree lung cancer care portfolio that encompasses non-small cell lung cancer SCLC through four treatments and various indications, we will continue our efforts to provide more diverse and innovative treatment options for Korean lung cancer patients."
Professor Kim Sang-we at Asan Medical Center also said, "SCLC has a smaller number of patients than NSCLC, and has a large unmet medical need among patients and medical staff due to the rapid growth of tumors and poor prognosis."
The emergence of immunotherapy that provides a survival rate of more than one year for SCLC is encouraging for the development of lung cancer treatment, Kim added.

Spellbinding Music
Genre-bending & spine-tingling
January 5, 2018 By guillaume
We've returned to the question of identity and humanity and human rights, and what does it mean to be a person in our world? What is our relationship to our world, and the environment? What does it mean to believe in a divine being, and what does that divine being require of us? That divine being is often inspired by the cosmos. Sufjan Stevens
A hugely ambitious undertaking, Planetarium is a contemporary song cycle of "cosmic" proportions. The project originally emerged in 2011 when Dutch concert hall Muziekgebouw Eindhoven commissioned American composer Nico Muhly to compose a new piece for string quartet and seven trombones along the theme of the solar system. Muhly turned to singer songwriter and composer Sufjan Stevens (who also enlisted his long-time percussionist James McAlister) and fellow American guitarist and composer Bryce Dessner to develop the concept further. The resulting Planetarium suite first toured the UK in 2012 to huge critical acclaim.
The musicians recorded the songs in 2013 but went back to the studio last year to enhance the original songs, add new pieces and mix the original creation into a 76mn and 17 track opus. Planetarium was released on 9th June 2017 last on the 4AD record label.
Sufjan Stevens/Nico Muhly/Bryce Dessner/James McAlister – Planetarium (2017)
Between themselves, American composers Sufjan Stevens, Nico Muhly and Bryce Dessner share a huge amount of creative talent, having been involved in several symphonic, electronic, cinematic, choral, visual art and dance projects to date.
Planetarium – "Mercury" (2012 live version – Sydney Opera House)
Sufjan Stevens is renowned for elaborate song cycles and thematic recordings such as his many volumes of new Christmas songs, the (aborted) 50 States project, the Enjoy Your Rabbit project based on the Chinese Zodiac, his ode to the Brooklyn Queens Expressway etc. As the de-facto leader on this new recording, the singer composed all the lyrics on Planetarium.
Nine songs celebrate the sun, the moon as well as the nine planets of our solar system, including the Earth. Each song is also associated with an original artwork reproduced in the liner notes of the cd and Vinyl editions. The songs are interspersed with electronic, drone and ambient interludes dedicated to other celestial bodies of phenomena such as black holes, Halley's Comet, the Kuiper Belt etc.
As they were invented, built or improved, early electronic instruments have long featured on science documentaries or science-fiction soundtracks, always in an attempt to express the mystery and infinity of the universe. In a retro-futuristic fashion, many vintage analogue instruments such as the Ace Tone organ as well as Moog, Roland "Jupiter", Juno or Prophet synthesisers feature extensively on the album. Other older instruments such as the celeste or the Mellotron also underpin the ethereal sound of the album.
Drawing on science and astronomy as well as on astrology and Greek, Roman or Asian cosmogonic myths and legends, most songs communicate an original sense of awe and wonder at the mystery of the universe while others are much more abstract or relate personal experiences.
There's a sort of beautiful perfect order to life on earth that's so mysterious and so profound. And yet as people we really f*** it up. We're so dysfunctional […] Sufjan Stevens
In musical terms, Planetarium is a sonic maelstrom, alternating between piano-led vocoder ballads, soaring prog-rock anthems with a booming brass section (of seven trombones!), quieter string-based modern classical pieces, dreamlike passages embellished by Bryce Dessner's sumptuous guitar harmonies and glitch-laden electronic transitions.
The cultural and musical references also abound throughout the suite which is sonically very close to Sufjan Stevens' The Age of Adz (2010). The "Earth" song, a grandiose composition and the longest piece on the album (15mn) references György Ligeti's requiem from the 2001: A Space Odyssey soundtrack in its introduction.
The entire album recalls of course Gustav Holsts' The Planets (1914-1916), the landmark seven movement orchestral suite which didn't include Pluto at the time as the celestial body was only discovered in 1930. It is also interesting to note that Japanese composer Isao Tomita (1932 – 2016) recorded an electronic version of the suite in 1976.
The hugely popular 2014 Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey TV series – itself a follow up to Carl Sagan's 1980s series – has an also obvious bearing on the project, and American astrophysicist Neil de Grasse Tyson is included in the Thank You list in the album liner notes. So is avant-garde electronic musician and composer Laurie Anderson who used the vocoder to striking effect in the 1980s. The omnipresence of the vocoder on the record is perhaps also a nod to electronic duo Air who used it a lot on Moon Safari. Indirectly, the same band also released a new soundtrack for George Méliès' 1902 silent film A Trip to the Moon in February 2012 last.
Described by master arranger Nico Muhly as "a single manuscript, overwritten by many hands, with each individual contribution legible on the finished document", Planetarium is a fascinating and lush musical odyssey that demands repeated listening.

Right then, fall into line you 'orrible little pupils! Government wants the military to run state schools
Daily Mail | May 8, 2009
By Kirsty Walker
The Armed Forces will be drafted in to run state schools under plans to drive up discipline and respect in classrooms.
Ministers are in talks with defence chiefs about taking over a handful of schools and turning them into military academies.
Alongside daily lessons, pupils would be expected to take part in activities such as drills, uniformed parades, weapons handling and adventure training.
The first state schools set to gain 'military academy' status are understood to be based in Portsmouth and Colchester.
The controversial scheme will initially be in areas where there are a large number of military families, but is set to be rolled out across the country.
Ministers believe that children in failing schools would particularly benefit from a military-style education because it would give them role models and a more structured existence.
But the plan is likely to raise fears among teaching unions that the academies could turn into tough 'boot camps' or recruiting stations.
Last year, union leaders accused the Army of giving children 'misleading propaganda' about life in the Armed Forces.
The National Union of Teachers also vowed to back any teachers who wanted to boycott the services' recruitment drives.
The latest idea comes as the Government prepares to launch a major extension of the 'school cadet force' scheme in deprived areas.
Gordon Brown is a strong supporter of the military's involvement in schools, which he believes teaches young people discipline and pride their country.
The first academy school dedicated entirely to the Armed Forces was announced last week, giving the Ministry of Defence a role in state education for the first time.
The Duke of York's Royal Military School in Dover, which offers boarding places for the children of military personnel, will also offer 200 extra places to youngsters from non-military backgrounds.
But senior Whitehall sources have revealed that the Army is looking at taking over a secondary state school in Portsmouth, while the Parachute Regiment is considering running a secondary school in Colchester.
Last night, critics of the scheme cast doubts over whether the over- stretched Armed Forces have the funding or resources to take on extra educational responsibilities.
The sources also stressed that no pupil would be forced to take part in any activity against their will.
One said: 'This is not about teaching pupils to shoot people. The Armed Forces can be a force for good in our schools and teach important skills including teamwork and respect.'
Schools Minister Jim Knight said: 'Academy status for the Duke of York's is ideal and will mean they can continue to march to the beat of their own drum by retaining their military ethos and curriculum.
'I hope this is just the beginning of an even closer relationship between our Armed Forces and schools, particularly with providing boarding facilities for those families who are often on the move and in garrison town communities.'
However, David Laws, Liberal Democrat Education spokesman, called the policy 'yet another Labour gimmick'.
'While many schools would no doubt benefit from a dose of Army discipline, there is real doubt as to whether this is a clear policy or just another Gordon Brown gimmick,' he said.
'Hazel Blears recently warned against Government gimmicks but it seems as though the Prime Minister has yet to take note.'


Built by builder Julian Weinstock in 1960 is this expanded Palmer & Krisel-designed home in Northridge College Estates, in the heart of Northridge, California. With five bedrooms and three bathrooms in 2,260 square feet, this home includes a two-car garage on a 10,500 square-foot lot and carries an asking price of $600,000.
Situated on a corner lot, the home fronts Lassen Street, a four lane roadway, and Encino Avenue to the east, with a traffic signal in front of the home. The two garage is accessed from Encino Avenue, leaving the front yard area open, filled with mature palms, juniper shrubs, and healthy turf. High windows line the façade of the home, and the original service porch enclosure sits adjacent to the front door.
The living and dining rooms sit at the rear of the home, overlooking the backyard, while the kitchen and master bedroom sits at the front. The original open beamed vaulted ceilings are still in place, adding height and volume to the living areas. The living room is anchored by Krisel's signature modernist fireplace with a dramatic tilted over-mantle offering a nice clean midcentury touch to the room. West-facing clerestory windows accent the wall, while a light soffit spans the south wall of the living room and ties into the dining room.
The dining room features a great pair of late 1970's chandeliers, and is separated from the living room by a divider with built-in pocket doors. An original pass-through connects the dining room to the adjacent kitchen, which was last updated at some point in the 1980s. Raised-panel oak cabinetry is topped with white tile countertops, and older but functional appliances round out the room.
The master bedroom features original clerestory windows and narrow, linear windows allowing lots of natural light to fill the room. No photos of the master or secondary bathrooms were provided. The secondary bedrooms are split form the master at the east end of the home, and a fifth bedroom addition and third bathroom addition sit at the northeast corner of the home.
The backyard is large, open an grassy, with a covered patio located adjacent to the living room, A built in brick barbeque and low wall with planters surround the covered patio. Large mature Italian cypress shrubs surround the perimeter of the backyard, and a pair of RV gates on the east side of the yard allow access to the space.
Northridge College Estates offers great midcentury homes on huge lots, and this property presents some great vintage features for those who don't mind a little traffic.

Julio Mairini Linares Rijo (born December 26, 1941) is the special advisor, Latin American player development, for the Houston Astros of Major League Baseball and a former player, coach, scout, and manager in the professional ranks.

Born in San Pedro de Macorís in the Dominican Republic, Linares spent most of his uniformed career at the minor league level; however, he served in the Majors for three seasons (1994–96) as an Astros' coach.

As a player, Linares was a ,  second baseman and shortstop who threw and batted right-handed.  He first played professional baseball at age 15 in 1957, when he appeared in two games with the Tucson Cowboys of the Class C Arizona–Texas League. He was on the roster of the Salinas Packers of the Class C California League in 1958, but did not play. He then spent 1959 out of baseball until he signed with the San Francisco Giants' organization in 1960, where he played 13 seasons, including four at the Triple-A level, but was never summoned to the Majors.

After his retirement as a player following the 1972 season, Linares joined the Astros as a minor-league coach, manager and instructor.  He managed at the Rookie-league level for 13 years (1976–79; 1985–86; 1989–93; 1997–98) with the Covington Astros and the Gulf Coast Astros, scouted in 1987–88, and also served as a roving infield instructor in the Astro farm system. In 1994, he was promoted to serve as a coach on the Major League staff of Houston manager Terry Collins, and stayed through 1996 before returning to the helm of the GCL Astros.  From 1999 through 2004, he worked as the Astros' director of operations in the Dominican Republic, before his promotion to assistant to the general manager/Dominican Operations in 2005. His son Rodney, a longtime minor league manager in the Houston organization, is the  third-base coach of the Tampa Bay Rays of Major League Baseball.
