Bob Dylan, "Fallen Angels"
May 23rd 2016 by Daniel Kohn
At this point in his legendary career, Bob Dylan is doing what he's always done best: ripping up the rulebook. Whether it's going electric, collaborating with Johnny Cash, turning into a Christian fundamentalist, or becoming a wily old bard, Dylan has always changed direction faster than the wind blows.
The aforementioned collaboration with Cash on Nashville Skyline is one of the only moments in his recording career where Dylan showcased his true singing voice—until the release of last year's Shadows in the Night collection, where he sang a batch of standards from the venerable Frank Sinatra. That release puzzled even the most loyal of Dylan fans; since when had Dylan, the poet of the counterculture, shown affection for a man who was the very definition of the status quo?
Yet here we are with Fallen Angels, where Dylan doubles down on his Sinatra admiration. On Shadows in the Night, Dylan sang—in his true voice—a number of songs that explored themes of loss, loneliness, and other elements that seemed to reveal him grappling with his mortality. Fallen Angels also deals with a murky future—Dylan is turning seventy-five—but this time things are a bit brighter. No one will confuse the Dylan of this record for his swashbuckling younger self; that's what makes Fallen Angels the perfect accompaniment to its predecessor.
Songs like album opener "Young at Heart" may not reflect his notoriously sharp-witted persona, but they do offer the dual meaning that Dylan usually intends on his albums. The choice of that song in particular has the feel of a man who's coming to grips with his own destiny. Though he's never been one to embrace the media nor give away his creative process, Dylan loves leaving Easter eggs for his fans to dissect. By keeping the song's structure close to the original, he hints that he's not giving up on living, though he may be tapped out creatively.
What makes Dylan's take on Sinatra interesting, like last time, is his song selection. He mostly uses cuts like the early Sinatra hit "Polka Dots and Moonbeams" and "It Had to Be You" to produce a narrative that shows him as a lounge singer winking at the fans who can't quite figure out the direction he's taking them in. Hearing Dylan attempt to swing is as humorous as anything he's ever done, and certainly cognizant of this fact, his focusing on Sinatra's big-band era is a way for him to have genuine fun while retaining his ambiguity.
Throughout his career, Dylan has been an expert at challenging, surprising and frustrating his fans. With many of them entering their own twilight years, he delivers yet another curveball. Are these albums the longtime boxing fan's way of throwing in the towel on songwriting, or is it his way of taking a timeout before another great period of fluid songwriting? It's a question that makes the concept of Fallen Angels more intriguing than the output itself.

The film, directed by J.J. Abrams and starring series vets Harrison Ford, Mark Hamill and Carrie Fisher along with Adam Driver and Oscar Isaac, is expected to arrive in theaters in 2015.
So what could "The Force Awakens" mean? The force already seemed pretty awake in the first six movies. Are Jedis going to go Super Saiyan? Whatever it means, we can't wait to find out.

Characters[edit]
I have gradually added all characters, but you have removed an article —Preceding unsigned comment added by RobotShake (talk • contribs) 17:41, May 13, 2010
I'm sorry but you should add them all in one go, unless there is a major chance of a loss or a lot of data if your computer crashes or something. Only 4 characters is not enough to save it on. ☆The Solar Dragon (Talk)☆ 16:45, May 13, 2010 (UTC)
Hi[edit]
Hi! I'm User:SexyShugar. I believe that Ferdinand Gurney was never seen or mentioned on the Simpsons and his article is worth deleting. —Preceding unsigned comment added by SexyShugar (talk • contribs) 19:54, May 15, 2010
I'm not too sure actually. I will import a disputed template in and paste that on the page and see what any one else thinks. ☆The Solar Dragon (Talk)☆ 18:58, May 15, 2010 (UTC)
My edits[edit]
Hey! Why do you keep reverting my edits? Thanks Effluvium 21:26, May 15, 2010 (UTC)
Please do not copy content directly from Wikipedia, Effluvium --Smiley12 was here at 21:30, May 15, 2010 (UTC)
Umm, I sort of knew you didn't mean me Smiley... Lucky guess. ☆The Solar Dragon (Talk)☆ 21:36, May 15, 2010 (UTC)
Oh, sorry guys. I'll try and make more helpful contributions in the future! Effluvium 11:00, May 16, 2010 (UTC)
Template for in-universe articles with no listed appearances[edit]
Do we need a template for in-universe articles with absolutely no mention of where the character/object/location appeared? Ldude893 12:28, May 16, 2010 (UTC)
Sorry, I don't understand. If you mean articles with no episode links or mentions at all then no. ☆The Solar Dragon (Talk)☆ 12:29, May 16, 2010 (UTC)
Problem reports[edit]
How do you report a problem in the problem reports log? I wanted to report a problem on Üter Zorker, an IP has made a lot of changes I can't undo because it's too much and I don't know what he changed now. — TheHomer (Talk • Contributions) 01:01, May 17, 2010 (UTC)
Ive replied on your talk page --Smiley12 was here at 05:29, May 17, 2010 (UTC)
Appearance icon change?[edit]
Hey, I've never liked how all the apperance icons are in different dimensions and how the "episode" icon is way too small for the image it represents, so how about changing the icons to identical dimensions? I've always been fond of The Infosphere's icons and it would be great if we could have something like that. 15x15 pixels is a pretty good size since it's about as big as the letters. And also I think the focus task of the month should be something more Simpsons-related, WWII is not really even a big thing on the Simpsons and there's not really much we can say about it, how about putting Troy McClure in In-Universe style as the focus task? Alexandersig 17:00, May 17, 2010 (UTC)
Well, I refuse to take the Infosphere icons. As an admin on Futurama wiki, I made enemies with at least on of the admins on there. However, I think that the images should all be the same size. And the Main Focus Task is just an article that needs expansion and will need a massive lot of expansion. It will be changed once a month from now on if no one acts upon it. ☆The Solar Dragon (Talk)☆ 17:36, May 17, 2010 (UTC)
American History X-cellent Promo[edit]
Hi, so was that image the promo? Or is the promo the image you've uploaded now (the mugshot of Burns)? Effluvium 16:49, May 19, 2010 (UTC)
I don't think there is an official promo image so I just changed it to an image from the episode. ☆The Solar Dragon (Talk)☆ 16:59, May 19, 2010 (UTC)
Oh, OK. Thanks! Effluvium 17:16, May 19, 2010 (UTC)
American History X-cellent[edit]
Hi (again), I've tried to make some improvements to the article and I've removed the stub tag. Do you think it should still be considered a stub, if so, I'll edit it some more and try and make the content a little more detailed etc. Thanks! Effluvium 19:48, May 19, 2010 (UTC)
Should be fine. It could be a bit longer but it isn't a stub. ☆The Solar Dragon (Talk)☆ 19:49, May 19, 2010 (UTC)
OK. Thanks again! :) Effluvium 19:59, May 19, 2010 (UTC)
Episode Tabs[edit]
Hi, I was just wondering if it would be possible for us to add something to the Episode Tabs template? I was thinking that it would be cool if we did what they do on the Family Guy Wiki (), where they have the episode name and beneath the a short overview of the plot at the top of the article, away from the rest of the information about the episode (writers, date aired, main plot section etc). -- the template can be seen here, if you're not sure what I mean. You can see how good it looks in this article -- . I don't mind if you decide not to do this, I'm just thinking of ways on how we could improve the Wiki (not that it isn't great already!). Thanks! Effluvium 16:45, May 21, 2010 (UTC)
We have something a lot like that in our infoboxes and credits tabs. We don't really need that although an episode summary will be good after the introduction paragraph. ☆The Solar Dragon (Talk)☆ 16:49, May 21, 2010 (UTC)
OK, well I'm currently working on making sure all the episode pages look the same, with episode summaries etc. Thanks! Effluvium 16:55, May 21, 2010 (UTC)
Also, wouldn't it be a good idea to have an infobox to put on the seasons pages. The infoboxes could contain the first episode air date and the last, the show runners, the promotional image for the season and some other information. I'd be willing to make one, if thats all right with you? Effluvium 19:30, May 21, 2010 (UTC)
Yeah, sure. Go ahead and make it then. ☆The Solar Dragon (Talk)☆ 19:42, May 21, 2010 (UTC)
OK, I'll give you a nudge when I've done it! Effluvium 19:48, May 21, 2010 (UTC)
Hi, could you please take a look at the template? I can't seem to get it working...Effluvium 20:30, May 21, 2010 (UTC)
Springfield Heights/Waverly Hills[edit]
The articles have no sources to verify their information, and though I'm certain which episode Waverly Hills came from, I don't know which episodes mention Springfield Heights. Do you know which episode Springfield Heights came from? I currently find it very difficult to distinguish between Springfield Heights and Waverly Hills and whether they're roughly the same location or not.Ldude893 12:11, May 23, 2010 (UTC)
Sorry, I have no ideas about Springfield Heights. Disputed template being added. ☆The Solar Dragon (Talk)☆ 12:13, May 23, 2010 (UTC)
Credits[edit]
Hi, I was just wondering if you could direct me to any good websites with a list of the production team, which I could insert into the CREDIT tabs. I've tried TV.com, but most of their information isn't added or is incorrect. I'd be grateful for your help, as I want to try and sort out all these CREDIT tabs which are red-linked. Thanks! :) Effluvium 18:42, May 23, 2010 (UTC)
Umm, sorry. I can't help you there. I haven't made a single credits tab. try asking Ldude893, he may know. ☆The Solar Dragon (Talk)☆ 19:34, May 23, 2010 (UTC)
OK, thanks anyway! Effluvium 19:36, May 23, 2010 (UTC)
Richard Nixon[edit]
What's your "needs to be in-universe" beef with the Richard Nixon article? Mythigator 14:47, May 26, 2010 (UTC)
All people who have appeared in The Simpsons needs to be written like a normal character article. The behind the scenes section needs all of the information about him in the real world in. Any mention of the Simpsons being a TV show instead of real life anywhere but the Behind the Scenes section or infobox is bad and it is automatically not in-universe view then. ☆The Solar Dragon (Talk)☆ 14:57, May 26, 2010 (UTC)
Fair enough, but that template is woefully underinformative, which is why I removed it. I have a place to be this morning, but I'll tidy up the article later today, unless someone else does it first. Mythigator 15:00, May 26, 2010 (UTC)
Taken care of. Thanks for the tips. -- Mythigator 20:46, May 26, 2010 (UTC)
Futurama wiki[edit]
Hi, are you still active over at the Futurama wiki? The wikia staff seem to think so, but I saw your blog post in which you said you were leaving? Anyway, I've been trying to help out over there, mainly by using the tab system (which is active here) and trying it out over there. However, I've tried contacting Scarlet ScarabX (?) about it, but have had no reply. So I wanted to know, if your happy with me trying out some new things over there. As you know, I'm a serious contributor (like I am here) and (try) to make helpful edits. Thanks in advance! Effluvium 15:40, May 27, 2010 (UTC)
Yes, I am inactive there now but I will still respond to tasks there if asked to. In future, please leave messages about a wiki on that wiki, on my talk page there. I will get a notification. ScarletScarabX is usually on later in our time, late at night sort of thing. ☆The Solar Dragon (Talk)☆ 15:42, May 27, 2010 (UTC)
About that so-called "spam"[edit]
Excuse me, but that Swordquest thing wasn't spam. All that NNewt84 wanted to do was to encourage people that the Swordquest should continue. And what did you do? You blocked him from this wiki. That's just plain rude! AmyRoseCute 07:45, May 28, 2010 (UTC)
NNewt84 believes that it was a very sad ending to what could have been one of the greatest events in videogame history. So what did he do? He decided to spread the word. And that's why he posted it on multiple talk pages! AmyRoseCute 12:48, May 28, 2010 (UTC)
I don't even know what the mainspace is! AmyRoseCute 22:27, May 28, 2010 (UTC)
Maybe if you stopped replying, I wouldn't use this as a chat room! AmyRoseCute 00:08, May 30, 2010 (UTC)
Template:TabQ[edit]
Hi, there seems to be a problem with the TabQ template, as wherever I put it, the sidebar floats over the page. You can see the problem here Natural Born Kissers/Quotes. Thanks Effluvium 12:10, May 29, 2010 (UTC)
Sorted. It wasn't TabQ at all. It was Template:Season 9 Q that had the problem. I have seen it before. ☆The Solar Dragon (Talk - Contribs.)☆ 12:33, May 29, 2010 (UTC)
OK. Thanks! Effluvium 12:35, May 29, 2010 (UTC)
Template:Season 9 C[edit]
Hi, I'm having some trouble with the template - which is causing the sidebar to "float" across the screen (like the Season 9 Q template). Sorry to bother you, I would fix it on my own, but I'm not sure what is causing the problem. Thanks! Effluvium talk contributions email 22:15, May 29, 2010 (UTC)
Plot for Simpsons Hit the road comic book[edit]
I have it and was wondering if you needed one (User talk:ScarletScarabX|ScarletScarabX) 23:40, May 29, 2010 (UTC)
Yeah, sure. If you can create an article and add the plot, that would be good. ☆The Solar Dragon (Talk - Contribs.)☆ 06:37, May 30, 2010 (UTC)
Yeah, do it.[edit]
What do I care? Just block me, please! AmyRoseCute 09:44, May 30, 2010 (UTC)
Bashir[edit]
Hi, I've been watching Mypods and Boomsticks today and in one scene Bart mentions that Bashir's last name is "Bin Laden". Shall I rename Bashir's article name to "Bashir Bin Laden"? Effluvium talk contributions email 11:58, May 31, 2010 (UTC)
Was it said in a joking fashion, was he being sarcastic or something? If not, then feel free to change it. It seems to be a bit of an odd name really to give a cartoon character. ☆The Solar Dragon (Talk - Contribs.)☆ 12:09, May 31, 2010 (UTC)
Yeah, it does seem a bit of an odd name to give a Simpsons character. Anyway, I'll go ahead and change it and see what others think. Effluvium talk contributions email 12:14, May 31, 2010 (UTC)
Matt Groening[edit]
Hi (again), could I please add an article about Matt Groening (character) who has appeared many times in the series and video-games? Plus I could link the real life Matt Groening article with this one and use the "Simpsonized" picture of Matt. If thats OK with you, I'll go ahead! Thanks! Effluvium talk contributions email 12:34, May 31, 2010 (UTC)
Well, I feel we should do the same as most guest stars who play themselves but Matt Groening, due to appearing so many times in the series should credit his own article. Those full time crew members who appear in the series should have separate articles so go ahead and do so. ☆The Solar Dragon (Talk - Contribs.)☆ 12:36, May 31, 2010 (UTC)
OK. Will do! Effluvium talk contributions email 12:41, May 31, 2010 (UTC)

Hunting trips for us often also mean a fun camping trip for our family. We'll commonly find a campsite near where I want to grouse hunt, pack up the vehicle with all our gear, and spend the weekend outdoors. While it means an opportunity for some quality family time, it also unfortunately typically equals a very full vehicle. If it was just me going I wouldn't be bringing all that stuff, but any man that has ever been camping with his family before knows that just isn't a discussion you want to get into. Enter vehicle cargo racks, otherwise known as cargo hitch baskets!
I'll break down the best hitch mounted vehicle cargo baskets we've come across to help you make an informed decision on which one to buy.
Like my dad always told me – "Keep it simple, stupid!" – Vault Cargo Management's cargo hitch carrier certainly isn't anything over-the-top fancy but the second you grab onto it you know it's solid as all heck! With a 60″ x 24″ frame welded out of 1″ steel tube & an expanded metal floor, this sucker is everything you need and more. Vault Cargo Management lists a rated capacity of 500 pounds, which should be more than enough if you're strapping down a cooler & a couple of bins.
The carrier also comes with a bent shank to help get your gear over your exhaust, and also holds the basket relatively tight to the vehicle. While this might not seem like all that big of a deal, it actually makes the unit stronger since your gear will be closer to the support. Not sure if this was intentional on Vault's part or not, but either way it's a feature that I like about it.
This is our go to carrier for everything from camping, to hunting, and even for moving. We also actually pair it with their waterproof cargo hitch bag, which protects our gear from moisture & keeps our stuff clean from all the grit of the road. It's held up well during our trips and comes at a very reasonable price.
Note: It looks like most of Vault's items are slightly cheaper on their own website than they are on Amazon. If you don't need Amazon's 2 day prime shipping, I'd recommend checking there.
If you are looking for a vehicle cargo rack with an option for a folding shank, you may want to look towards Curt's cargo carrier. While I don't personally care for the folding shank on my vehicle cargo racks (the engineer in me worries about a weak point where it swivels), I know there are many that do.
Curt's unit is quite similar to Vault Cargo Management's for the main part of the basket, but the reason it falls a bit short is due to the shank. As I mentioned before, the closer the unit is to the vehicle the stronger the unit itself. It's pretty clear from the pictures that Curt's vehicle cargo racks are positioned quite a ways from the receiver, and it is super apparent when you actually start loading the basket.
If you're a fan of Curt's and want to stick with them this certainly isn't a bad option. It will definitely get the job done, but I feel there are one or two shortfalls here.
You can check prices for Curt's vehicle cargo rack here.
We've gone over a couple more standard steel options, so I figured I'd throw a wildcard in here. Enter the MaxxHaul aluminum cargo carrier with the folding ramp. This is a nice little option if you have some heavier gear to throw up onto the carrier by yourself. The ramp is pretty well made, and all-together it ends up weighing roughly the same as a standard steel cargo hitch carrier.
One major note about the ramp though is that it's likely going to entice you to load it up over capacity. While the capacity might not seem like all that big of a deal when you're loading it up, it is an entirely different story when you're actually on the road. With each dip & bump in the road these carriers see a significantly larger amount of stress when they're loaded, so you're going to have to be careful.
You definitely sacrifice a bit of space with the ramp, but if it's something you're looking for this is definitely a good option!
You can check prices for MaxxHaul's cargo carrier with folding ramp here.
By far the lightest option we've got on the list, Curt's aluminum tray-style cargo carrier is a nice little option if you're heading camping for the weekend. I'm personally a fan of having side rails to contain my gear and have a more secure anchor point to tie down to, but if you are in the market for a lightweight tray-style cargo carrier this is probably what you're looking for.
Like the other Curt unit on this list, this tray-style cargo carrier also has a folding shank. I won't go into how I feel about that again, but if that's something you're looking for it's certainly a nice little option. In my opinion the folding shank makes a lot more sense for this tray-style cargo carrier than the basket style.
You can check prices for Curt's aluminum tray-style vehicle cargo racks here.
While the quality isn't quite there on Highland's steel tray style cargo carrier, it does make for a very budget-friendly option if you only need to use it once or twice. I've seen these hauling deer more than once driving down the road, and they seem to do just fine. Not many bells and whistles to this, but it definitely gets the job done.
Functionally this is right up there with most other vehicle cargo racks, but like many Highland products we've tried it seems like they tend to cut corners to save money at times. Not to say that's a bad thing, but if you're looking for something to last you a long time you may want to look elsewhere. That being said, if you only need it for one or two road trips this could be a great option for you.

24-story tower proposed for vacant West Loop lot
The proposal would bring 193 units to the northeast corner of Sangamon and Monroe
Just as the West Loop's development scene couldn't appear any more lively, a freshly filed zoning application revealed a plan to construct a new 24-story tower at the northeast corner of Sangamon and Monroe streets.
The proposal would replace a vacant lot at 37 S. Sangamon with 193 residential units and parking for 156 cars and 78 bicycles. The parcel in question was previously home to a two-story warehouse occupied by Dunn Safety Products. It was discussed as a possible six-story condo development back in 2013.
According to the newly submitted zoning application, the latest design from Chicago's GREC Architects will feature a four-story glass, metal, and masonry base supporting a glassy tower rising just shy of 300 feet. The project's developer is listed as Sangamonroe LLC—a legal entity associated with local real estate firm Free Market Ventures.
Elevation drawings of the 24-story apartment tower.
More information as well as renderings of 37 S. Sangamon Street will likely debut at a yet-to-be-announced 25th Ward community meeting. The proposed high-rise will require city approval to change its zoning designation from DX-5 Mixed-Use District to a residential Planned Development (PD).
If realized, the project would join several new developments surrounding the West Loop's Mary Bartelme Park. These include the Illume condos at 111 S. Peoria Street, the 19-story Milieu apartments at 205 S. Peoria Street, and a massive nearly 600-unit development preparing to break ground at 845 W. Madison Street.

AUSTIN (KXAN) — There is an adorable new challenge that's sweeping the Texas law enforcement community and it's the most heartwarming thing you will see on the internet today.
Officers, usually in uniform, are posing with the Texas state flower, often with a message. The messages range from anti-littering, safety while taking bluebonnet photos or exercise and meditation.
But sometimes, the officers just "felt cute."
So far, officers from the Copperas Cove Police Department, Granite Shoals Police Department, Grapevine Police Department, Irving Police Department, Cedar Hill Police Department and several others have already participated in the challenge.
An officer with the Farmers Branch Police Department had to improvise, posing with cartons of "Bluebonnet" butter.
Law enforcement in Travis County, Williamson County, Hays County, Llano County and others in the area have not yet jumped on the bandwagon. But we hope they will!

When you're sober, laugh
Sometimes you gotta take a chance to break through
And when the world is not enough
That's what gives you everything or breaks you
Feeling empty, feeling used
It's like we're running off fumes
A little broken, confused
But one thing I know for sure
Ain't giving up on you, ain't giving up on you
Ain't giving up on you
Oh, oh, oh, ain't giving up on you
Just remember it's me and you for life
Baby, are we worth the fight?

What are the customer experience gaps? How can we close them to connect customer and business value?
The are always huge gaps in the experience that our customers are having. In the digital world, this happens at a very fast pace. Digital disruption is real. Competitors are moving ahead at a breakneck speed. Amazon is doing something that changes customer expectations for all of us. There is no stopping it. It is creating gaps for all of us.
There are gaps between what we believe customers want and what they want. This is a gap.
Gaps exist between how we perceive the quality of the customer experiences we enable and how customers perceive the value of them. The customers perception is reality.
Gaps between the front-end of our businesses and the back-office. Sales and service is disconnected from billing and accounts payable.
Gaps between divisions and departments. Silos are real, and they create disjointed journeys for customers.
Gaps between brand promises and brand experiences. Yikes!
All of this points to the need for extreme agility. We need gain ground quickly by setting realistic priorities that measure business results. It helps to focus on real customer value. Does this help the customer with their goals?
What is causing some of these gaps? Many of our business functions are dangerously disconnected from each other. This is painful to the customer. It actually makes them angry. Just listen in at your call center for a day. Seriously! You will walk away stunned at what is going on. Big internal disconnects affecting business results.
We need to look at how we "are selling" the customer experience to our internal stakeholders and employees. Is it getting us the buy in we need?
A final issue to look at is our never-ending urge to control, fear of losing control and overprotection of the silos we create.
Why? Because the customer experience is the task of EVERYONE and RELATIONSHIPS in the end make the difference.
Technology simply enables to do it better.

Ramon Pascal Lundqvist (Algutsrum, 10 mei 1997) is een Zweeds professioneel voetballer die doorgaans als middenvelder speelt.

Clubcarrière
Lundqvist kwam op twaalfjarige leeftijd in de jeugdopleiding van Kalmar FF terecht. In juli 2013 tekende hij een contract tot medio 2016 bij PSV. Lundqvist sloot zich in zijn eerste seizoen aan bij de B1 van de Eindhovenaren, dat onder leiding stond van Jürgen Dirkx. Een seizoen later werd hij doorgeschoven naar de PSV –19. Op 29 augustus 2015 maakte Lundqvist zijn debuut voor Jong PSV, in een competitiewedstrijd tegen RKC Waalwijk. Hij kwam na 55 minuten het veld in voor Moussa Sanoh en gaf in de slotminuten een voorzet waaruit Rai Vloet de 0-2 maakte.

Lundqvist verlengde in september 2015 zijn contract bij PSV tot medio 2019. Hij debuteerde op 10 september 2016 in het eerste elftal van de Eindhovense club, tijdens een met 0–4 gewonnen wedstrijd in de Eredivisie uit bij N.E.C.. Hij viel die dag in de tachtigste minuut in voor Bart Ramselaar. Lundqvist maakte op 23 november 2016 zijn debuut in de UEFA Champions League. Hij verving die dag in de 84e minuut Davy Pröpper tijdens een met 2–0 verloren wedstrijd uit bij Atlético Madrid. Trainer Phillip Cocu hevelde Lundqvist op 29 november 2016 definitief over naar de selectie van het eerste elftal. Hij liep in februari 2017 vervolgens een knieblessure op die hem tot eind november 2017 aan de kant hield. Lundqvist maakte op 29 januari 2018 zijn eerste doelpunt in het betaald voetbal. Hij bracht Jong PSV toen op 3–0 tijdens een met 4–1 gewonnen competitiewedstrijd thuis tegen FC Eindhoven. Lundqvist werd in maart 2018 geopereerd aan zijn linkerknie en moest daardoor de rest van het seizoen 2017/18 missen.

Nadat hij terugkeerde van zijn blessure was Lundqvist tot aan de winterstop van het seizoen 2018/19 basisspeler in alle wedstrijden van Jong PSV. Zijn speeltijd in het eerste elftal bleef in die periode beperkt tot twee wedstrijden in het toernooi om de KNVB beker. Hij liet PSV in januari 2019 definitief achter zich en tekende een contract tot medio 2021 bij NAC Breda. Hier fungeerde hij voor het eerst als basisspeler bij een ploeg in de Eredivisie. De Bredase club degradeerde een halfjaar later alleen naar de Eerste divisie. Lundqvist daalde niet mee af, maar tekende in plaats daarvan tot medio 2022 bij FC Groningen, de nummer acht van Nederland in het voorgaande seizoen.

In zijn eerste seizoen bij FC Groningen (2019/20) speelde hij 20 eredivisieduels, waarin hij goed was voor vijf goals. Hij had dat seizoen rugnummer 10, maar gaf die in juni 2020 af aan Arjen Robben, die een comeback kwamen maken in het profvoetbal. In het seizoen 2021/22 speelde hij op huurbasis in Griekenland voor Panathinaikos FC waarmee hij de Griekse voetbalbeker won. In het seizoen 2022/23 kwam hij niet veel meer aan bod. In maart 2023 maakte hij de overstap naar het Noorse Sarpsborg 08 FF.

Hiperoxia este o stare asemănătoare unei crize epileptice. Hiperoxia poate apare spontan și aleator dacă scafandrul a respirat un amestec de gaze conținând oxigen la presiuni parțiale mari, pe o durată suficient de lungă. Organizația NOAA a elaborat un tabel care specifică condiții de presiune și durată de expunere la oxigen pentru care riscul unei crize hiperoxice este minim.

Toxicitatea oxigenului se manifestă la nivelul sistemului nervos central.

Presiuni parțiale ale oxigenului cuprinse între 0,21 bar (sc. abs.) și 0,42 bar (sc. abs.) se consideră a fi normale (normooxic). Hiperoxic este un amestec de gaz (aer comprimat sau amestec respirator sintetic) la care presiunea parțială a oxigenului din este mai mare de 0,42 bar (sc. abs.).

Hiperoxia poate fi cronică sau acută.

Hiperoxia cronică (efectul Lorrain Smith) apare atunci când presiunea parțială a oxigenului din amestecul respirator este cuprinsă între 0,42 bar (sc. abs.) și 1,7 bar (sc. abs.). Hiperoxia cronică este bine tolerată de către scafandri în cursul unor scufundări de scurtă durată.

Hiperoxia acută (efectul Paul Bert) sau criza hiperoxică apare atunci când presiunea parțială a oxigenului din amestecul respirator este mai mare de 1,7 bar (sc. abs.). Hiperoxia acută trebuie evitată deoarece poate avea consecințe grave.

Criza hiperoxică are manifestări asemănătoare crizei epileptice și anume convulsii violente și pierderea cunoștinței. Momentul declanșării crizei hiperoxice este variabil de la individ la individ și depinde atât de presiunea parțială a oxigenului cât și de timpul de expunere la presiunea respectivă.

La scafandri autonomi ce respiră aer comprimat folosind aparat autonom de respirat sub apă, criza hiperoxică poate apare numai dacă adâncimea de scufundare depășește valoarea la care presiunea parțială a oxigenului este mai mare de 1,6 bar și durata expunerii este suficient de lungă. Scafandri recreaționali trebuie să respecte limite de adâncime și durată a scufundării la care probabilitatea unei crize hiperoxice este nulă.

Test al oxigenului
Probă de rezistență fiziologică la acțiunea oxigenului hiperbar la care sunt supuși candidații la meseria de scafandru profesionist.
Proba constă din inhalarea de oxigen pur în masca oro-nazală din barocameră, la adâncimea de 18 m (2,8 bar sc.abs.) timp de 30 minute. Dacă în acest timp nu apare criza hiperoxică, candidatul este apt pentru practicarea meseriei de scafandru.
În timpul testului, candidații sunt asistați de un scafandru experimentat care urmărește eventuala apariție a simptomelor de criză hiperoxică, întrerupând alimentarea cu oxigen. Această probă de rezistență este controversată, atât ca utilitate cât și ca mod de desfășurare, ultimele cercetări în domeniu și experiența centrelor de medicină hiperbară evidențiind o serie de probleme.

VIPs flew to a climate conference on 400 private jets, sparking fury over the carbon emissions caused
Private jets included President Joe Biden's Air Force One as well as aircraft carrying leaders of Canada, France, Germany, India, Israel, and Japan.
As hundreds of private jets ferry world leaders and top business executives to the UN's COP26 climate summit in Glasgow, Scotland, environmentalists are up in arms over the environmental damage caused by the travel.
Scotland's Sunday Mail, citing aviation sources, reported that more than 400 private jets were expected. They are said to be shuttling more than 1,000 VIPs and their staff to the talks — which, according to the conference website, seek to "bring together world leaders to commit to urgent global climate action."
US President Joe Biden traveled to the climate-crisis symposium on Air Force One, and the Sunday Mail said the leaders of Canada, France, Germany, India, Israel, and Japan all used their own aircraft as well. Amazon's Jeff Bezos also flew in on his $65 million Gulfstream jet, British media reported.
UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson is planning on returning to London from Scotland on a private jet — running on sustainable fuel, The Guardian reported. His official spokesperson told the British news outlet, "It is important that the prime minister is able to move round the country, and obviously we face significant time constraints."
The International Council on Clean Transportation says commercial aviation accounts for about 2% of global carbon emissions, a number expected to triple by 2050.
The European advocacy group Transport and Environment said in a May report that private planes were five to 14 times as polluting as commercial planes on a per passenger basis and 50 times as polluting as trains.
"It can't be stressed enough how bad private jets are for the environment — it is the worst way to travel by miles," the group's UK policy manager told the Sunday Mail. "Private jets are very prestigious, but it is difficult to avoid the hypocrisy of using one while claiming to be fighting climate change."

The feedback you get through your handlebars is so important to the micro and macro adjustments you make while riding. Bars have to be stiff and light but at the same time compliant enough for you to not be stopping to stretch out your hands every time you reach a fireroad – in short, a good set of carbon handlebars is really hard to get right.
It's true, too, that you can't have it all. Stong, light, cheap – pick two. Carbon handlebars are most often more expensive than aluminium ones but, as upgrades go, they're far from the most expensive. This, plus the fact they look super blingy on the front of your bike, probably led to handlebars being the first widely accepted use of carbon in mtb.
There's not much room for bars in the Dirt 100, most years only one or two make it in. This year the Enve Downhill bar was the top choice for one reason. When testing the Canyon Sender, Ieuan had a monumental crash that saw him in a cast for weeks.
The bars took a fair chunk of the impact and we expected them to be a write off, when we took it apart they were barely scratched and good to go. So yes, you're paying a premium on these bars but we've gone further than any other mag testing them and still couldn't find a fault.
This one's a bit of a cheat as it only really makes sense if you run the bar and stem together. the P-Dent is one of those simple ideas that has you scratching your head and asking why nobody thought of it earlier. The P-Dent has a dimple in the bar that means it conforms to the steerer tube on your fork.
This gives you the option to run a proprietary 25mm stem allowing you to splice 5mm off the shortest standard stem on the market. Pacenti feels this is the way forward and will bring the best out of many correctly sized bikes. Weighing in at a combined system of 360g and priced in line with components of a similar quality it's a set-up we can truly recommend you try.
This year, 35mm lamp sizes were added as was 10mm either end for some extra width, welcome additions for gravity riders, although the fact remains there's always something reassuring about a cockpit with Renthal branding on it.
If you've been in it since the early days of mountain biking, then you'll remember that Answer have been a key player in handlebars since the start. The Hyperlite, Taperlite and soon after the Protaper bar all adorned the best bikes and was the go-to upgrade right back into the early 90s.
The quality remains to this day although this bar. It is probably best suited to a trail or lightweight enduro build rather than full-on downhill bikes but a rider looking for good dimensions, low weight and high strength from a bar that will be comfortable over a long day stage racing or out on the hill will find there match here.
A bar that paved the way in 2011 still remains one of the best out there today. Back when it was released we were impressed with the textured clamp area and reinforced grip area, both of which have now become standard issue on most carbon bars. At 820mm width and weighing in at 210 grams they've not been left behind anywhere else either. Plus it's the cheapest one here!
Hope initially turned to carbon on its bars so it could take production of its handlebars away from the Far East and back into Barnoldswick. In conjunction with the HB160 bike, Hope now has a good grasp of carbon manufacturing and the quality of the products are telling. Production runs are quite small at the moment and Hope have been inundated with orders so there's a three month wait to get your hands on them at the moment (when was the last time you could say that about a pair of bars?!). We've only ridden them on the Hope HB 160 but we're suitably impressed.
Ever since we first tried their Blacklabel bars we've been big fans of Deity bars thanks to their great shape – that's why they were in the Dirt 100 2014-16. What we really wanted though was a carbon version, and that's exactly what we've now got in the shape of these ones. Deity reckon they are the strongest carbon bars on the market, and with them being the heaviest here we don't doubt that. It would be good to see a few rise options alongside the standard 25mm, but apart from that we love them.
Yes, Bontrager may be an in house brand, and it's easy to sneer at them, but Trek's exacting standards ensure the highest quality bar with a sweet gloss finish. We'd recommend going for the 820mm width version, the 750 just feels too short to be of any real use to us.

It's through the partnership between the men and women across this company that we are able to make positive change to advance the lives of women all over the globe. But real change comes from speaking up and empowering others to raise their voices. So this year we're asking how you raise your voice to help make a difference for the women in your life.

* On the photo I show some labradorites I have in my workshop, so you can see the differences between them.
* If you think that labradorite however is not the stone for you I can make another using birthstone or other gemstone instead of labradorite - please contact me for details.
Are you looking for an everyday, delicate and subtle silver ring? I have something for you :) This labradorite silver ring is designed for every person who wants to have something precious always with her - something small but charming in the same time. Labradorite is a natural stone which has beautiful inclusions that make it shimmer in the light - labradorite gives the impression that it's glowing with its own inner light. The ring is entirely handmade so every piece has some personal touch. Every labradorite is also unique and you won't find two identical stones. So no two rings will be the same.
This labradorite ring is handmade so I need up to 7 days to make one and ship it to you. The ring will arrive in a black and elegant jewelry box. I can ship it to a third party if you wish and add a giftcard with a personal message from you inside the box. If you have any questions feel free to send me a message.


Common sense makes a comeback in Australia, as regulators drop all charges against Dr. Gary Fettke and apologize for their peculiar ruling.
Fettke, an orthopedic surgeon, was sanctioned in 2016 by regulators (the Australian Health Practitioners Regulation Agency or AHPRA) for recommending a low-carb lifestyle to patients he felt could improve their health by changing their diets. As we wrote in November 2016, Dr. Fettke was officially 'silenced' by the AHPRA; this means he was forbidden to give diet-related advice to his patients.
We celebrate the power of this exoneration — for Gary, his family, and his medical practice. We celebrate the message it sends to low-carb doctors everywhere. Like Dr. Tim Noakes' acquittal in June, this is a significant victory for the entire low-carb movement and its mission to improve global health.
A thousand Congratulations Gary Fettke for knowing what was right and for standing up for what you believe in. Exoneration at last!!! Shame on AHPRA for trying to deny the truth! We Australians deserve the best medical advice. We have intelligent thinking doctors who follow truth! Let them speak. Let them help us become well! Science is ever changing - why did you, AHPRA, not know that! I am beside myself with joy at this result! Now we might make some real progress in the treatment of our sick population. The truth will always win! Well done Gary Fettke and all who have and still are continuing to pursue justice for what is true. Finally a fantastic result!
I wonder whether there will ever come a day when Big Foods and Big Pharma are charged with murder for consistently denying the benefits of LCHF to those of us who are carb intolerant? Well done Gary for challenging perceived wisdom.
The truth shall make you free! It is a great thing that has happened here! This governing board has finally seen the light! Halaleuya, and pass the butter!
So relieved for Gary and Belinda. I don't think AHPRA would have seen the light so clearly had not Gary and Belinda done there own research and uncovered some very dodgy business ie links between the so called expert witness and some very dodgy medical evangelism that forms the basis of dodgy nutrition science. Well done on that score by the way. Heard Belinda talking on The Dudes Podcast. We must now (through the Dudes perhaps and Ketofest Canberra) demand that AHPRA become more transparent. What will the anonymous dietitians who report him every year do with themselves now?? Read some real (not epidemiology) science perhaps.? Or take a closer look at the success Gary is having with patients.....and celebrate it by shouting it from the rooftops.?
Such wonderful news! The Fettke family must feel wonderful being vindicated.
Fabulous news. As with Prof Tim Noakes the truth about Low Carb is becoming heard and understood.
Amazing News Dr Fettke .. this is so exciting for this whole movement.. we are making progress. Keep marching on .
The irony here is that Gary got a lot more publicity as a result of the original stupid ruling than he probably would have got if he was left alone. I realise it was a lot of pain for Gary and family to go through however. Go Gary.
What a gutsy effort from Gary and Belinda to stand up for the facts against such shocking and transparently dodgy victimisation. You deserve an Order of Australia medal for your efforts in helping bring the low carb message into the mainstream, although I think in spite of this humiliating turn around by your detractors, the medical establishment are still a fair way off that kind of humility.
I've been protecting my Australian Dr since hearing about this.
Everytime I mention on the keto forums that I finally found a Dr in Australia who recommends eating Keto, many ask for her details but I've been too scared to say who she is to protect her mental health and employment as a GP.
This is such a relief to hear that a Dr isn't being bullied by the AHPRA anymore.
Congratulations Gary, this is excellent news. I hope this exoneration receives an equivalent amount of media coverage as the original ruling if not more. Seems there has to be a lot of pain to make a gain but the tide really seems to be turning now. We've all got to keep spreading the word. Well done Gary and Belinda for standing up for the truth.
Congratulations, Dr. Fettke! Throughout the official silencing, he was also fortunate to have a strong and supportive wife who spoke in his stead.
My best guess is that, with all the evidence mounting up (or, more to the point, which has existed forever) in favor of LCHF as a healthy and viable way of eating, the Anointed (to borrow Tom Naughton's term) realaize they're just going to look like fools if they continue trying to squelch dissent against the current officially sanctioned views on nutrition.
So good to hear this news. Slowly but steadily, the tide is turning! Thanks to Dr Fettke and the many others who have been trying to spread the word.


Denver: And for this edition of Better Than Most will be going up to Boston Mass. and to the offices of J-PAL North America the poverty action lab at MIT will begin with Executive Director Mary Ann Bates who will tell us about their work and anyone here from somebody of the team.
Mary Ann: J-PAL North America stands for the Abdul Latif Jameel Poverty Action Lab. We're a center here at MIT, and we're founded just five years ago as a new regional office of J-PAL which has worked internationally for over 15 years. We basically work with decision makers and governments and the private sector and the nonprofit sector, and our network of affiliates and our team, partners with them to answer important social policy questions. And we do this specifically with randomized evaluations which is a kind of impact evaluation and help people measure whether programs are working the way they intend them to, for whom, and how.
Kim: One of the biggest surprises, when I came here, was the amount of trust that was put in me from the get go. There was a lot… I have a great manager who's willing to provide a lot of guidance which is really great but at the same time, I could take a lot of ownership of important tasks really early on.
Emma: One of the other things I really love about this organization is that it's not very hierarchical. It allows people at all levels to really contribute meaningfully to the work that they're doing like Kim was saying. It has a very entrepreneurial spirit because of the younger organization but at the same time, almost like a startup vibe but at the same time, you have the benefit of being part of a broader organization that has a great deal of credibility, and that is extremely well-known in the international development space, and we as an organization are starting to be known better among people who care about evidence and its use in policy in the United States.
Erin: Even through the onboarding process, there are multiple presentations that talk about the different channels for feedback, how you can communicate with your direct reports as well as upwards to your managers and how there's a lot of informal and formal mechanisms for that. Like I said, I think the fact that there's such a focus on how communication is given is really impressive. I love that there is so much intention about why you want to provide feedback and what is the most effective way to provide it and how do you best prepare people to be in a place where they can really hear that feedback and be able to act on it effectively. I think that was one of the things that really resonated with me when I first started.
Vincent: I think one thing that's also been really unique about J-PAL North America is our formal buddy system. Beyond our individual manager to direct report system, we also have a formal mechanism in place where you get to go spend basically an hour with an informal coach or buddy every quarter where we're given $10 to have coffee just to talk through any potential challenges you're experiencing at work, work through any issues, get advice beyond the direct management channel that you have. I think being able to carve out that space and even to being able to provide even funding to actually pursue this type of mentorship has been really really valuable. I think it really speaks to the culture's focus on investment in personal and professional development.
Molly: A lot of what that's entailed for example is creating organizational value statement. A document that we can turn to and reflect upon and iterate upon intentionally moving forward that puts us all in the same place or gives us the same common language to talk about diversity, equity, and inclusion really easily as an organization and give us that vocabulary. That process was just incredibly collaborative.
Liz: I can go home, and that's okay. I love it that no one emails me after work hours. That is the best. It's really respectful of not interrupting my time with my family outside of work. Really making sure that we gather input from people at all levels and structuring our processes and procedures, all the amazing investment of time and training staff, onboarding staff, making sure that people have career path was mentioned for investing in their professional development. It's really a place where I felt that both our internal staff and our external partners are respected and that we value input and sharing with everyone.
Mary Ann: We have two scientific directors who work together in setting the scientific direction of the office. We have our different sectors like education or health and each of them is led by multiple co-chairs who work together. In all aspects of our work, it's really collaborative, and it's really consensus-driven whether it's about what does the evidence really say about how pricing affects preventive health? It's not just one person's opinion. It's multiple people coming together to do that. I think that really is reflected throughout the organization, it's reflected on how we make decisions, how we structure our team and everything else. So, I personally found that incredibly rewarding, and it's exciting to work in a place that has such incredibly talented people but it's not just about one particular person.
Emma: One of the things I've noticed is that a lot of emphasis in our hiring process and therefore is true of a lot of our staff is that we all speak both the language of research in academia but also the language of policy and communications and both of those things are married together in one at J-PAL. We don't see them as separate, which is why there aren't really significant divisions or silos between our research and training team and our policy team. I think a big part of what we do is we're able to sit in the middle and act as a translator between those worlds which in a lot of cases, they really don't talk to each other and they don't share a lot of language or terminology and our staff are able to speak both languages and bring those groups into the same room and be able to get them to talk to one another which I think is pretty special and pretty rare.
Erin: While there's plenty of opportunities outside of work, there's things called J-camp and J-ski and J-kayas, that just allow you to have space and interact with your teams outside of the office place. I'm also a mother and find that I have limited opportunities to do that outside of the office space, so I have also really appreciated that there are many opportunities that are built in to the day-to-day activities where we're getting together for bagels, every Wednesday, there's time carved out to celebrate birthdays every single month, everyone's picture who has a birthday from that month is put in a cake to recognize you. It's these small details that makes such a difference coming into this environment I was pretty blown away at the onset by just how supportive and kind people have been.
Mary Ann: Part of that then evolved to what we now call Quiet Thursdays. There are many different reasons why people might want to have a day at home including just to have quiet space without distractions to finally get that writing project done or have some space. Whether it's needing to have a shorter commute for one day a week or having some flexibility around errands or childcare and things like that. I think there are many different ways in which something as simple as what we call Quiet Thursday can really help improve people's lives.
Vincent: I wanted to touch a little bit on how that trust is established in the work place. I think it stems from three primary reasons. First of all, our staff are just incredibly competent and reliable. I think that they are some of the most reliable folks I've ever worked with in my professional career. One thing that Mary Ann has been really instrumental in facilitating is the idea of assuming best intentions of all of the employees within our office. Whenever we are working with other colleagues, we always just assume that even if there is a delay in response to an email or some type of minor mistake in a document, with always assume best intentions that it's not because the person was out to get us. Everybody is here for the same reason, and they all want J-PAL to succeed as an organization. I think that ties to my third point which is J-PAL really prides itself on collectively problem-solving. Rather than having a culture where we blame somebody for our problem, I think we always work towards creating solutions.
Molly: At lunch time, we did a superlative for every single person. We took nominations from staff, and I think the fact that we were able to assign a very personalized superlative to every single person really says a lot in terms of how well we know each other, and also our sense of humor. They're very light-hearted and very friendly and fun, but very personalized, I think.
Kim: I know a lot of people in the office who started off as administrative associates when the organization was young and took their careers in a different direction. The organization grew, all of a sudden we went from what seems like a very small team. I don't know, I wasn't on it at the time, to people with HR Associates. We now have an Events Associate for event planning and things like that. Even just in the short time I've been here since January, watched the organization grow and blossom and change, and I've had the opportunity to do that in my role too.
Emma: Over the last couple of years, I feel like I've clarified in so many different ways what I am interested in doing in the long term, and that's because my supervisor, buddies, co-workers, and the leadership have been really open to my thoughts about what I'd like to be doing with my time, what do I want to be spending more time on; what do I want to be spending less time on and letting me craft my portfolio in a way that's exciting and meaningful to me not just at work, but also thinking about, more broadly, what kinds of professional development are going to be helpful as I make decisions about what I want to be doing in the long term. Is it going to conferences, is it taking classes? I've taken a lot of classes; we have great tuition assistance and reimbursement, which is pretty wonderful, but really feeling supported as a whole person and not just as a staff member here.
Erin: I also wanted to briefly mention the investment that the organization puts in staff development, building off of what I think a number of people have spoken to. As part of the policy team on-boarding process, we participate in a two-and-a-half week policy on-boarding where members from the different J-PAL regional offices are brought in to sit together for two and a half weeks to really learn about the evidence that we have here at J-PAL, what it means, and how we use it in our work, and I think that is a huge amount of time and energy that is spent to really build out staff capacity, and I think that really speaks to one of the values that I see here at J-PAL, which is really investing within their staff.
Vincent: I think one thing that I'd like to end my part of the conversation on is how much I think J-PAL feels like a family in many ways. I moved to Boston for this job at J-PAL and I really didn't know very many people when I first moved here, and I think being part of this organization that made me feel so included both at work and even outside of the work setting was really instrumental for not only on-boarding to J-PAL as an organization, but on-boarding to the City of Boston, broadly speaking. One of my co-workers, I remember, would always make sure to invite me to happy hours that he was going to even with some friends outside of J-PAL's community, and I know that even for newer employees that have come on board, I've seen my co-workers really try to make them feel included both at work and also outside of work, so I think that's one thing that I really appreciate about working here.
Liz: The one thing that I've learned throughout my career is that if your executive director is not willing to lead the charge for change, then the organization is bound to stop growing and to stop improving, and Mary Anne has really shown that she is committed to leading this organization in a way that it is transparent, that values and respects people, and is willing to hear honest feedback and adapt, and be better as an organization, that the idea is we're all in this together, we can all make each other better.
Denver: I would to thank all those who to participate of this piece, Kim Gannon, Emma Rackstraw, Erin Graeber, Vincent Quan, Molly Gilmore, Liz Zuckerberg, and Mary Ann Bates to hear this again read the transcript or see pictures of the stuff and the office of J-PAL North America simply come to denver-frederick.com.

The Dilemma of Pete Rose
March 30, 2015 / Len Gutman / Leave a comment
I'm just about finished with my Spring '15 baseball read, Pete Rose: An American Dilemma. Here are my conclusions:
Pete Rose is one of the greatest baseball players of all-time and his on-the-field performance is worthy of being recognized in the Hall of Fame. This is indisputable.
Pete Rose bet on baseball and on the Reds while he managed the team. This much he admitted. Because of this he was placed on baseball's permanent ineligible list.
In 1991, the Hall of Fame voted formally to exclude individuals on the permanently ineligible list from being inducted into the Hall of Fame. Rose is the only living member of the ineligible list.
Pete Rose is an asshole. He cheated on his wives. He wasn't a good father. He gambled. He was arrogant. He hung out with some rough people.
There are worse guys in the Hall of Fame. Drug addicts. Gamblers. Racists. Cheaters.
There is no proof that Rose ever cheated in a game as a player or manager. There is no proof he made any managerial decisions based on his bets. It's hard to imagine though that it didn't play into his decisions in some way, even if only subconsciously.
Tons of cheaters are at least eligible to be voted on for the Hall of Fame. Mark McGwire. Sammy Sosa. Rafael Palmeiro. Barry Bonds. Etc. It is unlikely that they will ever get enough votes to get in, but they are eligible.
Anyone who has bet on baseball should not be allowed to be around the game to any significant extent. By this I mean manage, coach, scout, etc. I have no issue with a guy like Pete Rose attending games in the stands or even being honored on the field. He has been, at least twice, since being placed on the ineligible list. Apparently the baseball gods think it's better for an admitted cheater to coach, but not a gambler (see Mark McGwire). Steroids and gambling both mess with the integrity of the game and should be treated equally, don't you think? As for Rose, there is no proof he ever bet against his own team and frankly it doesn't seem to be in his nature to do so. Which is worse? Betting on your team to win, or pumping yourself full of performance enhancing drugs to get an edge?
Pete Rose should have his day in the court of public opinion. By this I mean let the writers vote on his induction to the Hall of Fame. That seems fair. He may not get in, but I bet he'll get a lot more votes than McGwire and Bonds.
I was fortunate to grow up during a time when Pete Rose played baseball. I hated Pete Rose, but not because he was an asshole — I hated him because he was on the other team and he could beat you single-handedly. He was without question one of the toughest competitors I ever saw play the game. Pete Rose holds something like 17 major league baseball records, including most career hits (4,256) and most games played (3,562). His on-the-field performance was the stuff that legends are made of. He won three World Series titles, one World Series MVP and appeared in 17 all-star games. He was the NL MVP and Rookie of the Year. Nobody ever played the game with more intensity.
Yes, Pete Rose bet on baseball. And like I said, he shouldn't be allowed to manage, coach or otherwise interact with young players because he is in fact a bad influence. But he deserves to appear on the Hall of Fame ballot and let the voters have the opportunity to vote for him, just like the steroid guys and just like Gaylord Perry (who admitted to cheating his whole career). Rose didn't cheat, so what he did on the field has integrity.
It's an easy fix. It can be done without removing him from the ineligible list. All that has to be done is the Hall of Fame must remove the 1991 language about ineligible players not being eligible for the Hall of Fame. After all, they added it to keep Pete Rose out of the Hall and they can delete it to let him have his day in the court of public opinion.
Oh, and for the record, if I had a vote for the Hall of Fame he'd be a yes.
