WWE Champion AJ Styles will call out John Cena en route to Royal Rumble
With John Cena on commentary, "The Champ that Runs the Camp" takes on The A-Lister one-on-one.
This Sunday, AJ Styles will attempt to defend his WWE Championship against John Cena. However, before that highly-anticipated rematch, WWE.com has learned that "The Champ that Runs the Camp" is planning on calling The Cenation Leader to the ring tonight on SmackDown LIVE.
Perhaps Styles simply wants to have a pow-wow with his No.1 contender concerning Shane McMahon's shocking announcement that the winner of their Royal Rumble showdown will have to defend the WWE Title against five other Superstars in the career-altering Elimination Chamber Match at SmackDown LIVE's next solo pay-per-view on Feb. 12. Then again, maybe The Phenomenal One is looking to get retribution on Cena for the Attitude Adjustment he suffered last week.

Melo takes local anchor post at Telefutura
Still the only Spanish-language network in Nashville with locally developed content
Telemundo seeking input
Univision launch delayed
Solo Nashville/Telefutura Channel 42 announced in the following press release that Eva Melo has assumed the local news anchor position at that station. As reported recently here in the Nashville Scene, Telefutura is the only Spanish-language TV station in Nashville with local news programming, created through a partnership with WTVF-Channel 5. The other locally-based Spanish-language TV station is Telemundo, which partners with WSMV-Channel 4. Telemundo is exploring the possibility of locally created content and intends to consult with Hispanic members of the Nashville community before creating a local product, but none is currently available. A third Spanish-language station, Univision, is in the wings and was originally expected to arrive in January 2007 (story here). The Scene says that Univision will arrive later this year and will produce local content.
Here is the Telefutura press release:
Eva Melo is the new presenter of Telefutura 42's nightly news program, Noticias Locales.
Eva Melo is heavily involved with middle Tennessee's Hispanic community through her work as President of the Franklin Area Hispanic Chamber of Commerce and publisher of Nashville's only bilingual entertainment guide, 'Que Pasa en Tennessee'.
Melo is delighted to be part of Telefutura 42's local news service. "The local news on Telefutura 42 is a very valuable service for our Nashville community. It is vital that Hispanics know what is happening in their city and the daily news service keeps everyone informed and connected.We are looking to expand the news coverage in 2007 so this is a very exciting time to be working for Telefutura 42."
For those outside the broadcast area, the daily newscast can be viewed on newschannel5.com. Scroll down toward the bottom of the homepage and click on the most recent date under Noticias A Su Alcance.
Telefutura 42 first began broadcasting in February 2004 and is the only Spanish language TV station in Nashville with local news and programming. Telefutura 42 features first-class family entertainment programming that includes original Latin American talk shows, news briefs, variety shows, soap operas, movies, sports, and local programming.

VINTAGE BOOK REVIEW: The Brutal Telling – Louise Penny
VINTAGE BOOK REVIEW: Citadel by Kate Mosse
This is a tale of missing persons. Madeleine and her mother have run away from their former life, under mysterious circumstances, and settled in a rainy corner of Cambridge (in our world).
Elliot, on the other hand, is in search of his father, who disappeared on the night his uncle was found dead. The talk in the town of Bonfire (in the Kingdom of Cello) is that Elliot's dad may have killed his brother and run away with the Physics teacher. But Elliot refuses to believe it. And he is determined to find both his dad and the truth.
As Madeleine and Elliot move closer to unraveling their mysteries, they begin to exchange messages across worlds — through an accidental gap that hasn't appeared in centuries. But even greater mysteries are unfolding on both sides of the gap: dangerous weather phenomena called "color storms;" a strange fascination with Isaac Newton; the myth of the "Butterfly Child," whose appearance could end the droughts of Cello; and some unexpected kisses…
I often tweet about a book while I'm reading it.
My tweets about 'A Corner of White' include 'extraordinary, beautiful, startling'; 'one of the most original and unusual books I've read in a long time'; and 'I'm in awe'.
It is certainly unlike any other book I've ever read.
'A Corner of White' is basically a story about parallel words – our own familiar world – and another far different and yet strangely familiar place, the Kingdom of Cello.
A crack opens up between these two worlds, and a letter slips through. Madeleine, a teenage girl living in Cambridge, finds the letter and writes back … thinking her correspondent is just a boy with a vivid imagination. She does not realise that Elliot's letters describe a real place …
Both Madeleine and Elliot are suffering loss and confusion and the pangs of first love.
Both Madeleine and Elliott feel very alone.
Their letters build a bridge between them and their world, and, in strange and unexpected ways, help each other make sense of the mysteries of their lives.
Jaclyn Moriarty has always had a quirky, wryly humorous style, but in 'A Corner of White' she reaches new heights of lyricism. There were some lines which sung with such truth and beauty that I wanted to learn them by heart.
Here's just one:
'She felt the stars were folding into her chest; those sharp, shining, agitated pieces of excitement were stars'.
Such a perfect sentence, saying so much with so little.
I do have to say that 'A Corner of White' is a difficult book to categorise.
Although the secondary world makes it a fantasy novel, the book is without most of the trappings that we usually associate with fantasy. There are no quests, or magical beasts, or battles between good and evil. The secondary world is remarkably humdrum – despite waves of colours that sweep over the land and cause havoc with people's emotions, and despite such extraordinary magical touches as the Butterfly Child, who brings luck to anyone who catches her.
Similarly, our own world is infused with strangeness and magic. There are troubling absences, inexplicable coincidences, and odd disruptions to what we would consider normal.
Because the book is truly concerned with the inner lives of its two protagonists, I'd call it 'magic realism' rather than fantasy – yet it is so fantastical, so filled with a sense of the strange and the impossible, that it really blurs the boundaries of magic realism as well.
I think Jaclyn may have invented a whole new genre. Fantastical magic realism, perhaps?
Or maybe magic unrealism?
Either way, 'A Corner of White' is quite simply one of the most astonishingly original books I've ever read. I loved it!
Leave me a comment and let me know what you think….

Nothing Is Really Lost Until Fran Can't Find It
By Rosalyn Hamlett May 10, 2017 No Comments3 Mins Read
Fran Safina manages the Lost & Found at Kennedy Airport
Fran Safina is a finder of lost loves, of the material kind, at John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK). She handles and recovers items that don't have much meaning or intrinsic value to anyone other than the owner. But, as most everyone knows, the loss of a coveted sentimental treasure, well, that can be a tear-jerker.
"I'm known by only one name, (like Cher,)" said Fran, who has maintained the lost and found office for almost nine years at JFK's Building 14. That's enough time to have seen and heard it all – both the agony and the ecstasy of travelers who are separated and then reunited with beloved possessions.
"It's always an adventure in lost and found," she said recently. "You don't know what you're going to receive and who lost it. But it's so rewarding to connect a patron with their lost property."
Fran's got lots of stories. Like the time Fran the sleuth tracked down luggage full of cherished old photographs from a wedding invitation that was also inside. She contacted the wedding venue, which helped locate the owner of the luggage, a mother who had flown to California to work on the family photo albums while attending her dying father, who passed a few weeks later. "She was so overwhelmed with emotion at recovering the photographs that she could hardly speak to me," said Fran.
An Orthodox couple, newlyweds from Brooklyn, had returned to JFK following their wedding in Israel. A very distraught husband left a phone message that he'd lost his wedding hat at the airport. Fran received a round box with a hat inside a few days later. "He came running to my office to retrieve it. His wife came along, too, and she was in tears."
Fran pictured with her colleagues at Kennedy Airport: Ann Marie Brooke (left) and Gail Braxton (right).
Fran's recoveries have run the gamut, from the usual spate of phones, canes, walkers and crutches, to immigration papers, green cards and passports and, recently, an official letter from the Vatican with the Pope's seal and signed by a Vatican official. That was left at a security checkpoint. While Fran may not have the Pope's influence, at least to one New Jersey man she's right up there with St. Anthony, the patron saint of lost things and lost causes. The man had dropped off his wife at JFK for a flight to Russia during a recent Nor'easter. When weather cancelled her flight, he told her to check into a hotel. In the confusion, three pieces of luggage were left behind in Terminal 1.
"When he arrived to pick up his wife's things, he told me that he had prayed to St. Anthony, although his friends had said praying wasn't likely to do any good," Fran said. "That man was so happy that St. Anthony had brought him to me that he vowed never to let his wife travel alone again."
Since 2010, Fran also has supported a recycling program in which she sends unclaimed cell phones to the Cellular Recycler, an independent nonprofit. The organization makes out a check on behalf of the Port Authority that then is donated to programs that improve the quality of life for older New Yorkers and their families.
"I'm sold on the program because it's a win-win for older people and the Port Authority. It doesn't get better than that," said Fran.
To report a loss at JFK, call (718) 244-4225 for detailed instructions on how to proceed with a search.

PROTEST AND FUN. It was in strong contrast to last week's general strike, in which soldiers killed more than 20 people and wounded 130. About 10,000 Haitians marched through poor areas of the capital Friday in a peaceful demonstration against the three-man governing council's military members. Many marchers sang and danced, in the Haitian style of having a good time at rallies. Lt. Gen. Henri Namphy has led the council since dictator Jean-Claude Duvalier fled the country Feb. 7, 1986, but the other members have changed several times. They now are Brig. Gen. Williams Regala and lawyer Luc Hector. Friday's marchers chanted "Namphy must go! Regala must go! If Namphy stays, we want communism!"

Q: while os.system(command) is running display tkinter window I verify if a new update is available and if it's true I execute a Windows command
query =  "COPY /Y myfile mydirectory"

And I want, when it's copying the file, a tkinter window appears and disappears after copy. Also, I want to close the program, delete it, and run the new version.
I tried this:
    if version < float(new_version):
        query = "COPY /Y myfile mydirectory"
        root = tk.Tk()
        root.geometry('300x120')
        root.title('Mise à jour en cours')
        pb = ttk.Progressbar(
            root,
            orient='horizontal',
            mode='indeterminate',
            length=280
        )
        pb.grid(column=0, row=0, columnspan=2, padx=10, pady=40)
        while os.system(query):
            pb.start()
            root.mainloop()
        root.quit()
        query= file_path + "\\" + file
        os.startfile(query)
        exit()

A: while expr runs expr again and again (and then the indented block) until it returns a "falsey" value.   You are apparently looking for subprocess.Popen which lets you run a process in parallel with your Python code; os.system will block while the (implicit) subprocess runs, and only then pass control back to your Python code.


As honeymoon periods go, this one being "enjoyed" by Theresa May's chaotic new government has the feel of a dream fortnight in the Maldives coinciding with the arrival in the shallows of a local extended shark family.
And the omens aren't good for the scenic helicopter tour.
Honeymoon periods are so called, of course, because at the outset of a marriage the love felt by those involved is of such dazzling quality that the world and all the people in it feel bathed in a glow of perfection.
"What could possibly go wrong?" whisper the participants, to a soundtrack of Joe Cocker's "You Are So Beautiful", before the needle harshly skids off the record to be replaced by a loop of Theresa May muttering "strong and stable, strong and stable" as if worried she might fail to commit this essential data to memory.
The great opportunity that a honeymoon period in politics presents is the chance to set processes in motion with an energy and vigour that vanishes rapidly once disillusion, personal hostilities, realisation one might have been lied to and various other political realities emerge.
There are no second honeymoons.
Mrs May's previous government, however, in arranging the ceremony, at short notice admittedly, entirely overlooked the booking of a flashy island getaway to follow immediately afterward.
The public sector salary cap "u-turn on a u-turn" of such clumsy ineptitude that if executed by dancers on Strictly would have sent Craig Revel-Horwood into an ecstasy of cruelty.
All this uselessness can't be an accident.
In an organisation, it's the person at the top who sets the tone, whether that's a newsroom, a rock group, a double glazing company or a Premier League football team.
And one doesn't have to look hard to see that the person at the top of the government does not have the qualities demanded by the pressures of the day.
Mrs May had the good fortune to take the leadership in a contest that involved Boris Johnson, Michael Gove and Andrea Leadsom, which is not only like standing against the chamber of horrors, but also had the effect of making her appear "sensible" – a virtue compared to the qualities of the other ghouls.
But sensible-ness is not a currency that plays in politics. Sensible is the person who gets to look after the kitty on a hen do, not cajole a country into something approaching a choreographed unit.
The Grenfell disgrace was a good example. Perhaps it was the sensible thing not to meet the public – the police had better things to do than stroll around with her, the situation was raw and the public would only have said nasty things to her any way.
But as a reading of what the right thing to do was, she was off by 180 degrees.
And this after having the brass neck to stand up outside number 10 the day after the election and promise a "government that can provide certainty", seemingly oblivious to the fact that recent governments of which she has been a member are entirely responsible for the current national state of massive uncertainty. And her latest moves indicate that they'll be sticking with the chaos for now, thanks. It's our brand.
Every cloud, though, of course, and over in America there's another leader who decided to skip the honeymoon and get straight down to the business of ruining things.
The silver lining has come for the psychotherapy industry, which is finding its sofas very heavily booked these days.
The kind of conditions they are witnessing in patients are "shock," "anger", "anxiety, sadness, helplessness, and hopelessness," and an "apocalyptic rant".
While Americans may be a little more relaxed with the notion of booking themselves in to transfer their emotional burdens to a therapist, just because people do it less in the UK doesn't mean British people are not shocked, angry, sad and ranting apocalyptically.
Having laid the table for uncertainty, this government should not be surprised to find historic highs of mental imbalance in the population, which will doubtless express itself through its conventional outlets – suicide, homelessness, domestic violence, self harm, absenteeism, substance abuse and a long and very depressing etc.
If this is you, find someone to talk to about it as soon as possible, though preferably not a random stranger and at the top of your voice while enjoying a discount cider. By then it may be too late.
If all else fails, try Prince Harry. He's probably awaiting your call. Not Prime Minister May though.

Applications are invited for the AMA Indigenous Peoples Medical Scholarship 2015.
The Scholarship is open to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people who are currently studying medicine, with the4 successful applicant receiving $10,000 year for the duration of their course.
AMA President Associate Professor Brian Owler said training more Indigenous doctors and health professionals was an important part of closing the health and life expectancy gap between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and the rest of the community.
Since 1994, the Scholarship has assisted more than 20 Indigenous men and women to become doctors – many of whom would not otherwise not have had the money needed to study medicine.
"Increasing the number of Indigenous doctors and health workers improves access to culturally appropriate health care and services, and ensures medical services respond properly to the unique needs of Aboriginal peoples and Torres Strait Islanders," A/Professor Owler said.
Applications for the Scholarship must be received by 30 January, 2015.
To be eligible, applicants must be currently enrolled at an Australian medical school, be in at least their first year of medicine, and be of Australian Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander background.

Sendoff ceremony for CT National Guardsmen deploying to work with Joint Task Force Guantanamo
by: WTNH Staff
WINDSOR LOCKS, Conn. (WTNH) — A bittersweet start to the new year for some members of the Connecticut National Guard; they are being deployed.
A sendoff ceremony was held in Windsor Locks Thursday for military police officers based in Niantic.
It is the last time they will see their families until they return from overseas.
Lt. Colonel Donald Chiverton told News 8 it's tough to have to leave at this time of year, but "it's what soldiers do."
"It's not just us in the green suits that are affected. Family members are affected by this and they're very very supportive."
– Lt. Col. Donald Chiverton, CT National Guard
The military police will spend several weeks training in Texas before heading out to work on The Joint Task Force Guantanamo and Operation Enduring Freedom.
No word on how long they'll be gone.

NEW LONDON, Conn. (WTNH)-- New London Police are investigating a hate crime incident that involved a member of the City Board of Education.

Norwich Public Schools to move to remote learning until Feb. 1 due to staffing issues
NORWICH, Conn. (WTNH)-- Norwich Public Schools will move to remote learning until February 1 due to staffing reasons.
In a letter to the families of students and staff, school officials revealed that the holiday break had a big impact on Norwich Public School's operations. This led to staffing issues within the schools this week and it appears that next week is even more unstable.
(WTNH) -- East Lyme police arrested two New York men early Thursday morning, accusing them of stealing grease from a local restaurant.
Police said that around 5:42 a.m. Thursday, officers observed 34-year-old William Urbina of New York City and 23-year-old Kevin Romero-Castro of Yonkers conducting suspicious activity at a restaurant on 295 Flanders Road.

Mondor was born on March 26, 1925 in St-Ignace-du-Lac, Maskinongé, Quebec, son of Rosario Mondor and Opalma Brault. The village he was born in disappeared under water in 1931 with the construction of the Taureau Reservoir on the Matawin River. He bought the Pawtucket Red Sox, the Triple-A International League affiliate of the Boston Red Sox, out of bankruptcy in 1977, and turned it into one of the model franchises in the minors. He was a two-time winner of the International League Executive of the Year award (1978, 1999). In 1982 he was awarded an honorary Doctor of Public Service degree from Rhode Island College.

William Dale Goodman (March 22, 1926 – October 1, 1984) was an American Major League Baseball (MLB) infielder who played sixteen seasons for the Boston Red Sox, Baltimore Orioles, Chicago White Sox, and Houston Colt .45s, from 1947 through 1962. Goodman was inducted posthumously into the Boston Red Sox Hall of Fame in November 2004.Goodman was an outstanding hitter and fielder, he was one of the most versatile players of his era. He played every position in the major leagues except catcher and pitcher and was an All-Star for two seasons. In 1950, he won the American League (AL) batting title hitting .354 with 68 runs batted in (RBI) and was the AL Most Valuable Player runner-up to New York Yankees shortstop Phil Rizzuto (hit .324 with 66 RBI). Goodman batted over .290 in eleven seasons including over .300 in five seasons. In 1959, he hit .304, helping the White Sox win the AL Pennant championship. His career .376 on-base percentage made him an ideal lead-off hitter. He was inducted into the North Carolina Sports Hall of Fame in 1969.
Dave Ferriss
David Meadow Ferriss (December 5, 1921 – November 24, 2016) was an American Major League Baseball player who pitched for the Boston Red Sox from 1945 through 1950. Ferriss was given the nickname 'Boo' as the result of a childhood inability to pronounce the word 'brother'.After Ferriss's MLB playing career was over, he returned to the Mississippi Delta for two stints as the head baseball coach at Delta State University where he retired as the school's all-time leader in wins with 639. In November 2002, he was inducted into the Boston Red Sox Hall of Fame.
Edward F. Kenney Sr.
Edward F. Kenney Sr. (1921–2006) was an American professional baseball executive.
A native of Massachusetts, Kenney was born in Medford and raised in Winchester where he captained the high school baseball team. He later spent three years as the starting shortstop for the Boston College, where he graduated in 1943 and enlisted in the United States Army. At the conclusion of World War II, he was signed by Hugh Duffy, a Boston Red Sox scout and former manager, who converted him to a pitcher. Kenney joined the Boston organization as a prospect in 1946, but his pitching career was curtailed prematurely by arm problems. During the Red Sox drive to the American League pennant that season, he worked in the club's ticket office.In 1948, Kenney joined the Red Sox Minor League department. One year later became assistant farm director to Johnny Murphy and later to Neil Mahoney. That department was divided into two sections in 1968, and Kenney became director of minor league operations until 1978, when was promoted to vice president. From 1989 until his 1991 retirement, Kenney served as vice president of baseball development.In his 43-year tenure with the Red Sox organization, Kenney contributed to develop a significant number of outstanding players such as Wade Boggs, Roger Clemens, Dwight Evans, Carlton Fisk, Bruce Hurst, Fred Lynn and Jim Rice.
His father, Thomas Kenney, worked as an assistant for Red Sox owner Tom Yawkey for several years beginning in 1934, while his son, Edward Kenney, Jr., worked in baseball operations for both the Red Sox and Orioles.Kenney died on October 25, 2006 in Braintree, Massachusetts at the age of 85, due to complications related to diabetes.
In 2008, Kenney was selected for induction into the Boston Red Sox Hall of Fame.
Lewis Everett Scott (November 19, 1892 – November 2, 1960), nicknamed "Deacon", was an American professional baseball player. A shortstop, Scott played in Major League Baseball for 12 seasons as a member of the Boston Red Sox, New York Yankees, Washington Senators, Chicago White Sox and Cincinnati Reds, from 1914 through 1926. Scott batted and threw right-handed.
Scott served as captain of both the Red Sox and Yankees, who have become fierce rivals. He compiled a lifetime batting average of .249, hitting 20 home runs with 551 runs batted in in 1,654 games. He led American League shortstops in fielding percentage seven straight seasons (1916–22) and appeared in 1,307 consecutive games from June 20, 1916, through May 6, 1925, setting a record later broken by Lou Gehrig. As of 2017, it is still the third-longest streak in history.
After retiring from baseball, Scott became a professional bowler and owned bowling alleys. He died in Fort Wayne, Indiana, at the age of 67. He was posthumously inducted into the Indiana Baseball Hall of Fame and Boston Red Sox Hall of Fame.
Frank Malzone
Frank James Malzone (February 28, 1930 – December 29, 2015) was a Major League Baseball third baseman who played for the Boston Red Sox (1955–65) and California Angels (1966).
Frank Sullivan (baseball)
Franklin Leal Sullivan (January 23, 1930 – January 19, 2016), was an American professional baseball right-handed pitcher, who played in Major League Baseball (MLB) for the Boston Red Sox, Philadelphia Phillies, and Minnesota Twins over parts of eleven seasons, spanning 1953–1963. Sullivan was named to the American League (AL) All-Star team, in 1955 and 1956, and was elected to the Boston Red Sox Hall of Fame, in 2008.
Sullivan was one of the tallest pitchers of his time, standing 6 feet 6 inches (1.98 m) tall. After the 1960 season, the Red Sox traded him to the Phillies for another towering right-hander, 6 ft 8 in (2.03 m)-tall Gene Conley. Coincidentally, Conley had been the winning pitcher and Sullivan the loser of the 1955 All-Star Game. A walk-off home run by Stan Musial on the first pitch from Sullivan in the bottom of the 12th inning brought the midsummer classic to an abrupt end. Sullivan had entered the game with two men out in the eighth and had held the National League (NL) scoreless for 31⁄3 innings prior to Musial's clout.
In 1955, Sullivan topped the AL with 260 innings pitched and tied with Whitey Ford for the most wins (18). For his career, he posted a 97–100 win–loss record, with a 3.60 earned run average (ERA), in 351 pitching appearances. He dropped 18 of his 21 National League decisions as a member of the Phillies, but went 94–82 in the American League. Overall, Sullivan permitted 1,702 hits and 559 bases on balls in 1,732 MLB innings pitched. He struck out 959.
In September 2008, Sullivan published a memoir entitled, Life Is More Than 9 Innings.
He was one of the subjects of the 1957 Norman Rockwell painting The Rookie.Sullivan died in Lihue, Hawaii, from pneumonia on January 19, 2016 at the age of 85.
Fredric Michael Lynn (born February 3, 1952) is an American former professional baseball player who played in Major League Baseball (MLB) from 1974 through 1990 as a center fielder with the Boston Red Sox, California Angels, Baltimore Orioles, Detroit Tigers and San Diego Padres. He is best known for being the first player to win MLB's Rookie of the Year Award and Most Valuable Player Award in the same year, which he accomplished in 1975 with the Red Sox.
Lynn was inducted into the Boston Red Sox Hall of Fame in 2002 and to the College Baseball Hall of Fame in 2007.
George Digby (baseball scout)
George J. Digby (August 31, 1917 – May 2, 2014) was an American baseball scout and consultant in Major League Baseball.
A native of New Orleans, Louisiana, Digby started his professional career in 1944. He was coaching high school baseball in his homeland when a Boston Red Sox executive came to sign his best pitcher, Dick Callahan.
Digby helped young Callahan drive a hard bargain. The Red Sox paid out and, on the way to the train, also offered Digby a job.After that, Digby worked in the Boston organization for more than 60 years, half a century as a scout, 14 more as a consultant. Throughout the years, he traveled the South looking raw talent for the Red Sox. Among his finds were Red Sox graduates Tom Bolton, Steve Curry, Mike Greenwell, Jody Reed and Marc Sullivan. But Digby put great emphasis on signing future Hall of Famer Wade Boggs, after the Red Sox had reports that questioned Boggs' ability to be a Major League player, as he fought hard to convince the team that should draft the young man with the smooth swing. Finally, in 1976 Digby drafted Boggs in the seventh round and signed him for $7,500 and a college scholarship. In 1999, Digby saw Boggs belt a home run for his 3,000th career-hit, to become the first player in Major League history to enter the 3,000 hit club by hitting a home run. Boggs had invited Digby, all expenses paid.In 1948, one year after Jackie Robinson broke the baseball barrier in the Majors, the Birmingham Barons of the Southern Association were an affiliate team of the Red Sox who played at Rickwood Field in Alabama. The Barons, an all-white squad, shared the same field with the Birmingham Black Barons, an all-black team of the Negro leagues. At that time Digby spotted Willie Mays, by then a 17-year-old outfielder. Boston signed the Barons' player/manager Lorenzo ″Piper″ Davis for $15,000.Digby has served as role model, inspiration, catalyst and friend for many young scouts. The George Digby Award was created by the Red Sox in honour of Digby, to recognize annually the scout that has provided outstanding services for the organization.
In 2008 Digby was selected for induction into the Boston Red Sox Hall of Fame, becoming the first scout to gain the honors. Digby is also in the Florida Scouts Hall of Fame. He was inducted in 2000 and his plaque is near the press box at Tropicana Field. The plaque shows that he has signed 53 Major League players.
Digby died on May 2, 2014, aged 96.
Great Central League
The Great Central League was a short-lived baseball league of four teams that played baseball in the upper Midwest of the United States in 1994. The league and four teams were owned by Minneapolis-based strip club owner, Dick Jacobson, who previously attempted to purchase the Rochester Aces of the Northern League.In an effort to bring notoriety to the league, Jacobson signed Boston Red Sox Hall of Fame member George Scott as manager for the Minneapolis Millers. However his presence from the dugout did not help the team or league draw larger crowds to games. The league folded before holding a championship game because it was underfunded, use facilities ill-equipped for professional baseball, and was run by inexperienced management.
James Reynold Lonborg (born April 16, 1942) is an American former professional baseball right-handed starting pitcher, who played in Major League Baseball (MLB) with the Boston Red Sox (1965–1971), Milwaukee Brewers (1972), and Philadelphia Phillies (1973–1979). Though nicknamed "Gentleman Jim", he was known for fearlessly pitching on the inside of the plate, throughout his fifteen-year career.
Born in Santa Maria, California, Lonborg graduated from Stanford University. On August 14, 1963, he was signed as an amateur free agent by the Red Sox.
Lonborg enjoyed his best year in the 1967 Carl Yastrzemski-led Red Sox's "Impossible Dream" season, when he led American League (AL) pitchers in wins (22), games started (39), and strikeouts (246). That year, the Red Sox were involved in a four-way race for the AL pennant with the Detroit Tigers, Minnesota Twins, and Chicago White Sox; the race was reduced to three teams after the White Sox lost a doubleheader to the Kansas City Athletics, on September 27. The Red Sox and Twins faced each other in the season's final series and entered the final day (October 1) tied for first place; the Tigers were half a game out of first and needed to sweep a doubleheader from the California Angels to force a playoff between the winner of the Red Sox–Twins game. Lonborg outdueled Twins ace Dean Chance in that finale, while the Tigers defeated the Angels in the first game but lost the second, putting the Red Sox in the World Series for the first time since 1946. In that World Series against the St. Louis Cardinals, Lonborg pitched game two, tossing what was only the fourth one-hitter in Series history and followed that up with another victory in game five by limiting the Cards to three hits. Called upon to pitch the seventh and deciding game with only 2 days' rest, he lasted 6 innings, but allowed 6 earned runs in a 7–2 loss. In addition, Lonborg received the 1967 Cy Young Award (becoming the first Red Sox pitcher so honored), played in the All-Star Game, and finished prominently in voting for the MLB Most Valuable Player (MVP) award (placing 6th in the voting, with teammate Yastrzemski winning the award).
In December 1967, Lonborg tore the ligaments in his left knee while skiing and his pitching career thereafter was marked by many injuries. He won only 27 games from 1968 through 1971 and was traded to the Milwaukee Brewers after the 1971 season. While Lonborg performed well for Milwaukee in 1972, the team traded him in October to the Phillies. He spent the next six and a half seasons with Philadelphia before his release, midway through the 1979 season.
Lonborg's MLB career statistical totals include: a 157–137 record, with 1,475 strikeouts, a 3.86 earned run average (ERA), 90 complete games, 15 shutouts, and 2,464.1 innings, in 425 games.
After retiring, Lonborg attended the Tufts University School of Dental Medicine, and graduated in 1983. He worked as a general dentist in Hanover, Massachusetts until he retired in 2017. He is active in many nonprofit organizations, including Catholic Charities, Little League Baseball, and The Jimmy Fund. Lonborg currently lives in Scituate, Massachusetts.
Lonborg was selected to the Boston Red Sox Hall of Fame, in 2002.
On the Boston-based sitcom Cheers, the photo of Sam Malone pitching is actually that of Lonborg. At times, Sam also wore Lonborg's number 16 BoSox jersey.
Joseph Gordon Dobson (January 20, 1917 – June 23, 1994) was an American professional baseball player, a right-handed pitcher who appeared in Major League Baseball for the Cleveland Indians (1939–40), Boston Red Sox (1941–43; 1946–50; 1954) and Chicago White Sox (1951–53).
Dobson was born in Durant, Oklahoma. At the age of nine, he lost his thumb and left forefinger playing with a dynamite cap, but it didn't keep him from reaching the Majors with the Indians. After two seasons in Cleveland he was sent to Boston.
An All-Star in 1948, Dobson enjoyed his best years with the Red Sox. Between 1941 and 1950 (excepting 1944–45, when he served in the United States Army during World War II), he won 106 games for the Red Sox.
In a 14-season career, Dobson compiled a 137–103 record with 992 strikeouts, a 3.62 ERA, 112 complete games, 22 shutouts, 18 saves, and 2,170 innings in 414 games pitched (273 as a starter).
In 2012, he was inducted into the Boston Red Sox Hall of Fame.
Joe Dobson died in Jacksonville, Florida at the age of 77. He is buried at Evergreen Cemetery in Jacksonville.
Joe Mooney (groundskeeper)
Joe Mooney (born September 6, 1930) is a retired groundskeeper who worked for the Boston Red Sox of Major League Baseball (MLB).Born in Dunmore, Pennsylvania, Mooney began his career as a youngster by serving as a clubhouse boy and assistant groundskeeper from 1948 through 1951 for the Double-A Scranton Red Sox. In the mid-1950s, he was groundskeeper for the Triple-A Louisville Colonels. In the late 1950s, he was groundskeeper for the Triple-A Minneapolis Millers.He went on to work at D.C. Stadium, later renamed RFK Stadium, during the time that Vince Lombardi coached the NFL's Washington Redskins and Ted Williams managed MLB's Washington Senators; Mooney was hired by the Senators in December 1960. In February 1969, someone stole home plate from RFK stadium, and a UPI photo showing Mooney and a security guard investigating the theft appeared in various newspapers.Mooney joined the Red Sox after the 1970 MLB season, upon recommendation by Williams to the team's owner, Tom Yawkey. Mooney became the head groundskeeper at Fenway Park and held that post for the next 31 years. In October 1975, he again appeared in various newspapers when Game 6 of the World Series had to be postponed three times, in consideration of rain and the condition of the field at Fenway Park.During his long stint with the Red Sox, Mooney became a legend at Fenway while contributing in different functions as Superintendent of Grounds, Park, and Maintenance. He was succeeded by Dave Mellor in January 2001. Mooney was given the title of Director of Grounds Emeritus, and was enshrined in the Boston Red Sox Hall of Fame in 2012. In 2015, Mooney was inducted into the MLB Groundskeepers Hall of Fame.
Kenneth Robert "Ken" Coleman (April 22, 1925 – August 21, 2003) was an American radio and television sportscaster for more than four decades (from 1947 to 1989).
Coleman was born in Hartford, Connecticut in 1925, the son of William (a salesman) and his wife Frances. The family subsequently moved to Dorchester, Massachusetts, and then to Quincy, Massachusetts, where he was raised. He graduated from North Quincy High School in 1943. While in high school, he was a pitcher on the North Quincy High School baseball team, and subsequently played in the semi-pro Park League. But he had dreams of being a sports broadcaster from the time he was a boy, when he enjoyed listening to the games on radio. After serving in the army, where he was a sergeant during World War II, He took oratory courses for one year at Curry College, and then broke into broadcasting in Rutland, Vermont in 1947, working for station WSYB. He called the play-by-play of the minor league Rutland Royals baseball team. He also was a newscaster and a deejay on the station. He then was hired at hometown team WJDA in Quincy MA, where he worked as a sports reporter until 1951; he then worked for a year at WNEB in Worcester. During this time, he was broadcasting Boston University football. He received critical praise for his college football play-by-play, which led to his big break: in 1952, he got the opportunity to broadcast for the NFL Cleveland Browns (1952–1965), calling play-by-play of every touchdown that Hall of Fame running back Jim Brown ever scored. He also began his MLB broadcasting career in Cleveland, calling Cleveland Indians games on television for ten seasons (1954–1963). In his first year with the Indians, Coleman called their record-setting 111-win season and their World Series loss to the New York Giants.
In 1966, Coleman was chosen to become a play-by-play announcer for the Boston Red Sox, replacing Curt Gowdy, who resigned after fifteen years of calling Red Sox games, to become a play-by-play announcer for NBC. Coleman joined a broadcast team that also included Ned Martin and Mel Parnell. He signed a three-year contract that paid him $40,000 per year. Coleman broadcast the 1967 World Series (which the Red Sox lost to the St. Louis Cardinals) for NBC television and radio. From 1975 to 1978 Coleman worked with the Cincinnati Reds' television crew.
Coleman broadcast college football for various teams, including Ohio State, Harvard, and BU. He was the play-by-play announcer for the 1968 Harvard-Yale football game, a game that will be forever be remembered for the incredible Harvard comeback from a 16-point deficit to tie Yale at 29-29. He also called NFL games for NBC in the early 1970s, and later in his career called Connecticut and Fairfield basketball games for Connecticut Public Television.
After the legendary radio combination of Ned Martin and Jim Woods were fired for failing to follow the dictates of sponsors following the 1978 season, Coleman returned to Boston in 1979. He broadcast the Red Sox' 1986 World Series loss to the New York Mets and two Red Sox ALCS (1986 and 1988). Coleman remained in the Red Sox radio booth until his retirement in 1989.
Additionally, he wrote books on sportscasting, was one of the founding fathers of the Red Sox Booster Club and the BoSox Club, and was intimately involved with the Jimmy Fund, which raises money for cancer research.
Coleman followed the routine of taking a swim in the Atlantic Ocean as often as he could through the late fall and into the earliest days of spring, until his death.
He was the father of the late Cleveland sports and newscaster Casey Coleman, who died in 2006 from pancreatic cancer.
Coleman was inducted into the Boston Red Sox Hall of Fame on May 18, 2000 at the age of 75. He died three years later, aged 78, in Plymouth, Massachusetts, from complications of bacterial meningitis.In 1972, Coleman, along with Dick Stockton rotated play-by-play duties for New England Patriots preseason with no color commentators.

He was the American League (AL) ERA leader in 1968 and 1972. He also was the AL leader in strikeouts for 9-innings in 1967 and the AL leader in shutouts in 1966, 1968, and 1974.
Tiant was considered for election to the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum via voting of the Baseball Writers' Association of America from 1988 to 2002, and by era committees in 2011, 2014, and 2017, falling short of the required votes each time. He was inducted to the Boston Red Sox Hall of Fame in 1997, and the Venezuelan Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum in 2009.
Melvin Lloyd Parnell (June 13, 1922 – March 20, 2012) was a Major League Baseball left-handed starting pitcher.
Cecil Carlton Hughson, (February 9, 1916 – August 6, 1993), was a Major League Baseball starting pitcher who played his entire career in the American League with the Boston Red Sox (1941–44, 1946–49). He batted and threw right-handed.
A native of Kyle, Texas, Hughson played collegiately at the University of Texas at Austin. He was a successful and competitive major league pitcher who was not averse to throwing close to batters, changing speeds by mixing a hard fastball with an overhand curveball. At the height of his career, arm and shoulder injuries threatened permanent disability and hastened his retirement.
Hughson enjoyed his best season in 1942, posting a 22–6 record with a 2.59 ERA, and also leading the league in victories, strikeouts (113), complete games (22), innings pitched (281.0) and batters faced (1150). In 1943, he won 12 games with 114 strikeouts and a 2.64 ERA, and again led the league in complete games (20). He also had his best year batting, posting career highs in hits, runs, doubles, walks, batting average and RBI's. He led the league in winning percentage (18-5,.783) and WHIP (9.43), and also had a career-best ERA of 2.26.
After serving in the military in 1945, he won 20 games in 1946, led the league in walks per nine innings (1.65), set a career high in strikeouts with 172, and completed 21 of 35 starts. His several 1-0 shutouts led to an early pennant-clinching for the Red Sox. But he fell to 12 wins in 1947, and finished his career when only 33 after two seasons in relief.
In an eight-year career, he posted a 96–54 won-lost record with 693 strikeouts and a 2.94 ERA in 1375.2 innings. His control was good enough for an effective 1.86 strikeout-to-walk ratio (693-to-372). He was an American League All-Star for three consecutive years (1942–44).
After retirement from baseball, he joined his dad and uncle at Hughson Meat Company in San Marcos, Texas in the 1950s. Sometime in the 1990s, after the slaughter plant's closure, the 40 acres of land it had occupied were designated as greenspace and are now known as Ringtail Ridge Natural Area. The foundations of the plant and other artifacts can still be seen. He was one of the first in the United States to raise Charolois cattle. He served on the local school Board of Trustees in the 1950s where he was one who led the effort to integrate the public schools. In the 60's he developed part of his ranch into the Hughson Heights subdivision.
He died in San Marcos at age 77, and is buried in San Marcos Cemetery. He was enshrined in the University of Texas Hall of Honor in 1970', the Texas Sports Hall of Fame in 1987, and the Boston Red Sox Hall of Fame in November 2002.

Don't feed hay containing hoary alyssum to horses.
Hoary alyssum is common in disturbed areas, meadows, pastures and hay fields.
It's toxic in fresh pasture or dried in hay and causes "stocking up," fever and founder.
Remove horses from sources of hoary alyssum.
Hand pulling, mowing and herbicides can help control hoary alyssum.
Plus sign (+) if content is closed, 'X' if content is open. Where is it found?
Hoary alyssum is common throughout Minnesota, the upper Midwest and Western states.
Hoary alyssum is most abundant in disturbed sites. It's also found in meadows and pastures and is a common weed in hay fields. Hoary alyssum is more adapted to dry conditions on sandy or gravely soils. It prefers direct sunlight but tolerates shade.
Horses usually prefer other, more palatable forages over hoary alyssum. Cases of hoary alyssum poisoning still occur in pastured horses. Most hoary alyssum poisoning occurs when horses eat infested hay.
Horses usually react differently to hoary alyssum toxicity. You can usually see signs 12 to 24 hours after the horse ingests the plant.
Death didn't occur in any horses dosed experimentally with hoary alyssum, but researchers observed all the other signs.
Mild stocking up was most common in horses on pasture or eating hay with less than 20 percent hoary alyssum. More severe signs occurred in horses eating hay with more than 20 percent hoary alyssum. These cases tended to be rodeo, race, dressage or other fit horses.
Don't transport horses with laminitis during the acute phase of poisoning.
Clinical signs normally go away with supportive treatment 2 to 4 days after removing the weed source. Horses that foundered may take more time to recover. Horses may not return to full performance for a few months after the onset of clinical signs.
A healthy, dense stand of pasture forages can prevent the growth or spread of hoary alyssum.
Hand pulling or digging and mowing before flowering can control small infestations.
A few herbicides work on hoary alyssum. They may require you to apply it more than once. Apply the herbicide before the plant flowers. Handpull or mow flowering weeds before seed production.
Always follow grazing restrictions and pertinent information stated on the herbicide label.
Hoary alyssum can be an annual, winter annual, biennial or a short-lived perennial. It spreads rapidly due to the high amount of seeds it produces per plant.

Cleveland-Tamir Rice: Police says 12-year-old Tamir Rice was directly and proximately responsible for his own death at hands of police.
A man holds a sign in Cleveland on Nov. 25, 2014, referring to the fatal shooting Nov. 23 of Tamir Rice.
The city of Cleveland has decided who to blame for the death of Tamir Rice, a 12-year-old boy who was holding a toy gun when he was shot by police this past November: Tamir Rice.
As Cleveland.com explains, Cleveland's court filing is light on specifics, something that the city has attributed to the fact that the Cuyahoga County Sheriff's Office has not yet finished its own investigation.
This post has been updated with additional information to include the quote from the police union chief and the mayor.

Place the ricotta in a fine sieve over a bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 8 hours, or overnight.
In a medium bowl, beat the eggs, add the drained ricotta and stir together. Gently mix in the flour, 1 teaspoon salt, pepper and nutmeg until a soft dough forms. Add a little more of the flour if the dough is too sticky.
To form the gnocchi, dip 2 tablespoons in cool water. Using 1 spoon, scoop up a heaping tablespoon of the ricotta mixture and use the other spoon to form it into a smooth, pointed oval ball. Place the gnocchi on a lightly floured baking sheet.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Gently slip the gnocchi into the boiling water, stirring gently with a slotted spoon. Cook until the gnocchi rise to the surface, about 5 minutes. Scoop them out with the spoon.
Warm the Garden Zucchini Tomato Sauce in a medium saucepan. Add the gnocchi, tossing gently 1 minute to coat. Top with Crisp Prosciutto and serve immediately.
In a medium saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onions and garlic and cook until soft and light golden brown, 8 to 10 minutes. Add the zucchini and tomatoes and bring to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer until the sauce thickens, about 30 minutes. Add the basil and season with salt.
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Lightly brush a baking sheet with olive oil, and arrange the prosciutto in a single layer. Place in the oven and bake until crisp, 5 to 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool on a wire rack.

Casting Call: Ornella Muti
Italian actress Ornella Muti turned down the lead role in 'For Your Eyes Only' and later admitted her regret
Actress: Ornella Muti
Born: March 9, 1955 (Rome, Italy)
Film: "For Your Eyes Only" (1981)
Role: Melina Havelock
Had his first choice accepted, producer Cubby Broccoli would have pulled off quite the raid on the cast of 1980 sci-fi extravaganza "Flash Gordon" for the twelfth entry in the 007 series: "For Your Eyes Only" in 1981.
With Roger Moore still to renew his contract to play 007 for the fifth time, future James Bond actor Timothy Dalton had just played Prince Barin opposite Topol's Dr. Hans Zarkov. The latter would be cast as Bond's warmly remembered ally Milos Columbo.
But top of Broccoli's target list was Italian actress Ornella Muti, who played Ming's daughter and set the hearts racing of many a "Flash Gordon" fan. Born in Rome in 1955, then 26 year-old Muti had worked exclusively in Italian cinema before her big break as Princess Aura.
In a 2007 interview, Muti explained that turning down the offer to play the lead Bond girl role in "For Your Eyes Only" was a mistake. She explained that "for love, for my family and friends, I returned to Europe" after filming "Flash", and claimed that the part of Melina was "written specially for me."
It was second time lucky for Carole Bouquet. She had auditioned for the part of Holly Goodhead in "Moonraker", only to lose out to model-turned-actress Lois Chiles. This time she was offered the part of the vengeful Melina Havelock, tracking down her parents killers armed with a crossbow.
Muti went on to star in a dozen English language films, but her career remained mostly in Italian cinema, making over 100 appearances in movies and television. In 1994 she was voted "The Most Beautiful Woman in the World" by a worldwide poll of readers of the magazine Class and reportedly insured her breasts for $350,000.

Africa inside Europe represents a multifaceted project, including an intensive collaboration between international theoreticians, art critics, and brussels-based artists over a two year period, operating on various levels of production and output. It centers on four recent art films by Herman Asselberghs, Sven Augustijnen, Renzo Martens and Els Opsomer, two of which will be newly produced within the framework of this project. Specifically, the project addresses the diverse ways in which these artists have investigated sub-Saharan Africa both as asite of political conflict, poverty, and migration, as well as an imaginary screen for the construction of European identity, humanitarian concern, and political engagement. In the works of these diverse practioners, Africa emerges variously as a zone of crisis, situated between the fraught legacies of colonialism and the recent failed neoliberal state; as well, Africa figures as a terrain of artistic invention and a focal point for the critical interrogation of political practice within Europe. The project intends to parse the political and aesthetic implications of these four films, generating discussion via interdisciplinary and international conversation. Its multiple outcomes include: (1) four symposia gathering international and interdisciplinary participants to discuss the project's films; (2) a book project (Leuven University Press, Lieven Gevaert Series); (3) an exhibition.

France has been the country of wine for two millennia. For centuries, many regions have selected their best terroirs, the most suitable grape varieties and the most successful vinification methods. It's quite a journey to find your way around such different and varied nectars! However, all of them are of interest and it is worthwhile to go and discover the good vitners all over the French territory.
This is precisely the passion of the Comte de Vanssay who offers no less than 170 different wines, all selected by himself and purchased locally. He will be happy to guide you in your choice if you wish.
Burgundy, which he visits every year, is perhaps his favourite region and is very well represented on the map. The breathtaking Grands Crus, both red and white, are in the spotlight. The Rhône Valley with its lords of Cote Rotie or Châteauneuf du Pape is also present with other wines.
Beaujolais to his taste is to be rediscovered, far from the Beaujolais Nouveau which has tarnished his image. Seven of the first ten vintages are on the map. Champagne, Alsace and Languedoc are also on the list, as well as a selection of remarkable Italian wines.
Finally, the Comte de Vanssay likes rare, singular and extraordinary wines such as Château Chalons, Bellet or Irouléguy.
