Medicaid Funding Cuts May Affect Notch Babies
In July of 2011, the Department of Health and Human Services proposed a rule under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act regarding risk adjustment. Under this rule, the Federal Government is requiring health insurers to provide confidential and detailed medical information about a person. Aside from the fact that this is an invasion of privacy, we must also remember the Federal Government's lack of accountability with health records when over 5 million TRICARE records were stolen from the car of a government contractor this past fall. .Under the rule he's considering formally proposing, Trump would order reimbursement for certain Part B drugs to be tied to what's known as the International Price Index. That would mean a price cut for many medicines, since the prices drug makers charge outside the U.S. are often set by government-run health-care systems and are generally lower. Medicare doesn't use its position as a big buyer of drugs to bargain for lower prices. .Budget Committee Debates Future of DI Program … Continued
Legislative Update August 2020
This week, talks to repeal and replace the sustainable growth rate (SGR) formula continued, but lawmakers revealed that a temporary "doc fix" might be necessary. In addition, The Senior Citizens League (TSCL) announced its support for a new piece of legislation, and one key bill gained support. .House Committee Discusses Retirement Security .On Tuesday, Senators on the influential Finance Committee held a hearing titled "Examining the Proposed Medicare Part B Drug Demonstration." Dr. Patrick Conway testified before the full committee on the status of the controversial demonstration program, which was proposed by CMS earlier this year and has not yet been implemented. The program will test new payment strategies for hospitals and physicians who administer prescription drugs to Medicare beneficiaries receiving outpatient care. It is a new attempt by the Obama Administration to move away from a medical system that rewards volume of care and towards one that values high-quality care. … Continued
By Mike Watson, TSCL Legislative Assistant .Is his condition "severe"? Your husband's medical condition must significantly limit his ability to do basic work— for at least 12 months. .What would locality pay adjustments mean for your Social Security benefits? It's unclear, and likely difficult to estimate. Studies would have to be performed to compare locality - based pay adjustments to what future annual COLAs might be. Locality pay adjustments would be higher in areas where private sector pay scales are higher than those of federal workers, and lower in areas where pay scales are lower. The percentage of the annual locality pay increase would vary depending on where you live. Some retirees would receive a lower percentage of increase, or even no increase, while others a higher percentage. .Insurance Industry Predicts Premium Increase .In new versions of this scam, scammers are impersonating the Social Security Administration using the Social Security Administration's own phone number as the incoming number on your caller ID. This is called "spoofing." Should you receive a call from someone alleging to be from the Social Security Administration you may report that information to the Social Security Office of Inspector General at 1-800-269-0271, or online at https://oig.ssa.gov/report. .It's hard to say until you crunch the numbers. You may qualify for Social Security benefits with as little as ten years of work through your self-employment. But even if you do, you will be subject to the Windfall Elimination Provision (WEP) which reduces Social Security benefits when you receive a pension based on non-covered government employment. .Try going back to work or getting a second job. — Reducing costs is often the harder choice, because costs tend to grow with age. You may want to consider getting a job that could provide extra income and perhaps help with health benefits. Even if you must stay at home as a caregiver, you may want to consider providing adult day care to another individual if your home is set up for that, or to find a job that allows you to work online from home. .Help! I'm turning 65 soon. My daughter says I should sign up for Medicare, but I don't know what to do or where to begin. I work for a small company with 17 employees, where I get my health insurance now. About a week is currently taken out of my paycheck for premiums. My current health coverage isn't that good. It has a ,500 deductible and, because I'm still in good health, I've never been able to benefit. .But one thing is clear: Congress and the President, whoever his is, will have massive issues to deal with, not the least of which will be the future solvency of Social Security and Medicare. Our political leaders have to stop avoiding dealing with these tough issues. They can't continue to "kick the can down the road."

Tirana is not on many people’s must-visit list of cities. It’s no Paris, Rome or Barcelona. It’s small, it’s dusty, it’s chaotic. But we love it! Dig beneath the surface and you’ll find a charming, safe and incredibly welcoming city, packed with great restaurants and bars.
We would love to assist you with a relaxing holiday here! We can recommend a week-long holiday with top-notch accommodation and a diverse range of activities in the surrounding region -we have already organized stays like this for families from England, Germany, France and Poland! It was definitely a hit and we’ve stayed in touch with them all since then.
To get the most of Tirana you’ll need a guide. The National Museum, for instance, is only interesting if you can read the Albanian explanations by the exhibit. The mosque has beautifully painted walls – but only welcomes visitors at certain times. The must-visit National Gallery has a wing dedicated to the Socialist Realism art of the communist years – but what does it all mean? And did you know that Tirana is home to the world headquarters of the Bektashi sect of Islam? Probably not – but Kryegjysh Edmond, the Bektashi ‘Pope,’ welcomes visitors if he’s given a bit of notice.
The proposed guided tours of Tirana are just a taster. You’re welcome to visit us for a coffee at our office, just a five minute walk from Skanderbeg Square (email us for directions.) You’ll find plenty of inspiration here – we’re avid collectors of communist and Albanian memorabilia and the office is an Aladdin’s Cave of (sadly almost worthless!) detritus from the Enver Hoxha years.
Here are some ideas to get you started:
Our Bunker Trip is for sure a great one if you’re interested in communist history!
Take a fascinating tour of Albania’s National Gallery with one of the Socialist Realism maestros. To find out more, click here.
If you’re a bonvivant, we like to think that we share a passion together! Let us show you Albania’s amazing cuisine now that this blessed country is finally free to produce food! (It’s an old tradition that the Communists tried to kill -they thought it was too bourgeois to eat and drink with some good taste.) Join us for the Cool’inary Tour of Albania!
Experience the Land of the Eagles with the totally legit Albanian Gangster Tour or visit Durres to speak with a Sworn Virgin (a unique life story indeed!)
Enjoy a weekend trip to Gjirokastra on the footpaths of Ismail Kadare (the most famous Albanian writer alive – if you still don’t know him, run to the closest library! He’s available in more than 40 languages and is hoping to become a Nobel prize winner one day!)
If any of these sound interesting to you, please feel free to contact us right away!

With 5G just around the corner, telecoms companies are exploring business collaborations to introduce new services into the market. But the biggest challenge is tracking revenue sharing between partners and the ability to support multi-party payments.
Telecoms service provider Syniverse and IBM have developed a blockchain platform for multi-party billing and payments. Yesterday, Syniverse officially launched its blockchain solution Universal Commerce, which is compliant with the new GSM Association standards for billing and charging processes.
Currently, telecom firms have to reconcile usage data for services used by their customers while roaming. Exceptions have to be processed relatively manually. A process that is already challenging is set to become more complex as 5G and IoT bring newer business models, which may further complicate things.
One example is providing enhanced mobile broadband at major events such as football matches. A venue owner might enable multiple streams to be shown inside the stadium. Sharing of data and billing between all the parties is the challenge. While this is a consumer application, another example is for autonomous cars.
A study by Syniverse showed that 5G is encouraging 60% of U.S. mobile telecoms firms to shift their focus towards enterprise. About 90% of the respondents were concerned about the practicality of billing and payments.
By leveraging blockchain, Syniverse aims to address the needs of interconnected networks and multi-party transactions by providing accurate data. With blockchain as the only source of truth, reconciliation should all but disappear, and disputes avoided. The platform is available to use by any mobile operator as well as other partners and will automate a majority of billing processes.
The automation aspect is made possible by the use of blockchain smart contracts. These smart contracts can be coded to define rules and commercial arrangements of each type of transaction between partners.
One question is whether this solution needs enormous scalability. At the time of publication we didn’t have a response about how that’s achieved, but we’ll update this later.
Last year, Syniverse conducted a pilot of Universal Commerce with French telecoms company Orange and Mobile TeleSystems (MTS) Russia. The solution has been built using the IBM Blockchain Platform.
Syniverse is already in the process of establishing partnerships, and a few months ago, announced the integration of Universal Commerce with Samsung SDS’ blockchain-based Nexledger Universal. The goal is to enable mobile users to send money, loyalty points, or digital currencies to other users or merchants globally.
Two high-profile telecoms consortiums are working on blockchain applications include — the Carrier Blockchain Study Group (CBSG) and the Communications Blockchain Network. In China, major telcos have come together to form the Trusted Blockchain Telecom Application Group.

The former Rangers player scored Everton's equaliser in Sunday's 2-2 draw with Liverpool and Naismith has admitted that he hopes he can use it as a stepping stone to recapture the form he produced before he suffered a cruciate ligament injury last year.
Naismith said: "At least I'm off the mark now for Everton and I can build on it. This first period is about settling in and getting used to the training.
"I never came expecting to play every week. But I work hard every day to get back to where I was before and this was just another step towards that."
Naismith has featured 10 times for Everton since his move from Rangers in the summer.

Ballydesmond, The Bog Road Loop
Starting at the car park of the Ballydesmond Catholic church and graveyard, take the narrow road on the right side of the church.A short distance from here, you will pass a basketball court on your right. Continue along this quiet country road, past the court, until you come to a T junction signposted “Trailhead for the Source of the Blackwater Walk”. Turn left here.
You will eventually come to another T junction and, again, follow the trailhead sign to the left. As you look ahead, you will see the road rising up through the forestry.
Continue along this road, crossing the first bridge over the Blackwater river. Approximately 400m beyond the bridge, you will come to a way-marker pointing to the right. Ignore this, and continue straight ahead.
Almost a kilometre from the way-marker, you will see evidence of turf cutting on both sides of the road. Begin to watch for the track leading left through the forest, as this is your return route to Ballydesmond.
As you approach the next T junction (after taking the forest track), the road descends and wonderful views of the hillsides of Nad, Mount Hillary and Bweeng open up before you.
Turn left at this T junction and continue straight through the next crossroads, following the road until you reach the main route to Ballydesmond. Turn left.
All due caution is needed for the next 750m until you reach the foot path in the village.
Turn left in the village to return to the car park.


Wellington, Mar 11 (ANI): Captain Mushfiqur Rahim became the first Bangladeshi batsman to score a double ton in the first test against Sri Lanka in Galle, as the tourists scored a mammoth 638 in their first innings in reply to hosts' 570-4 declared, taking a 68 runs lead.
The total is Bangladesh's highest in test cricket, improving on the 556 all out they made against West Indies four months ago in Dhaka, Stuff.co.nz reports.
Sri Lanka's bowlers took five wickets after lunch with part-time spinner Tillakaratne Dilshan accounting for two of those in successive overs.
Mushfiqur was on 198 at lunch and reached the double century soon after the break by pushing a single to the cover region off Nuwan Kulasekara, however, two balls later he was trapped leg before wicket to end a glorious knock that lasted for nearly eight hours.
On the third day, the more flamboyant Mohammad Ashraful overshadowed Mushfiqur's stand, but after the former captain departed following a record partnership, he was at centre stage, the paper said.
Mushfiqur faced 321 deliveries and hit 22 fours and a six for his 200 that set the stage for Bangladesh to draw the test.
Mushfiqur added 106 runs for the sixth wicket with Nasir Hossain, who went onto make a maiden test hundred.
It was the fifth wicket stand between Mushfiqur and Ashraful that laid the foundation of their innings.
The 267-run stand is a record for Bangladesh for any wicket against any opposition. It's also a record at Galle for any wicket by any team. (ANI)

I Say Cassata, You say…
I’m sitting here eating cake. It’s 10:45 am, I slept decadently until a quarter past nine, and no one is here but me and my cake. And it’s not just any cake.
I know. I never heard of it before last week, either, but when you are in the company of the baking-obsessed and whimsical group of lovely food bloggers that I often find myself…well. You make cassata. And yes, it’s lovely for breakfast with a side of caffeine while your dog stares at your empty plate just waiting for an invite, and your cat squalls at you just because she can.
Here’s how this happens. Amongst the myriad emails that fly back and forth between the people in this group, someone mentions a recipe. Links are forwarded, photos emerge, then others start throwing their suggestions in the hat. Each one seems better than the last, of course, and when a selection is made, then we know we’ll all have our Skype ready to go on a particular day and time. Yep. The Bakenistas stuck again this past weekend. And at my house, that means my Mac was hefted down to sit in the maelstrom that is my kitchen when I bake.
The only problem with this particular session is that the night before, I made a last minute S’mores cake to take to a family get together and didn’t clean the kitchen. It was one of those, "We went to Italy and all we brought back was 750 photos that we’ll now share with you" type of evenings. And since the Bakenista session was scheduled for 7am my time the next day, it meant that I’d have to start baking with a: 1) full dishwasher that needed emptying; 2) two sinks full of dishes; 3) a counter still sporting ingredients I’d need for the cassata; and…wait. I’ll show you. And at this point, I’d already begun to clean somewhat. What a pig.
But I digress…I slept until past 8am, so by the time I lugged my Mac to its appointed spot, the bake chat was in full swing, and there’s absolutely no way you can start from the beginning to see what you missed while you were getting your beauty rest.
It was fun, just like it always is, but it was involved, and as soon as my cassata was in the fridge cooling, I had to start dinner — yes, these bake fests take most of the day. But in a very clean kitchen, I was able to put dinner on the table…erm our laps. Television on a soft sofa was a definite requirement after this day.
Cassata alia Siciliana
For the Sponge Cakes
2 c. bleached cake flour, sifted
2 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp kosher salt, plus a pinch
8 lg. eggs, separated
1-1/2 c. granulated sugar
2 tsp pure vanilla extract
1/2 c. unsalted butter, melted and cooled
For the Syrup
2 c. granulated sugar
3/4 c. cold water
1/2 c. Marsala FINE
For the Filling
3 oz. bittersweet chocolate, finely grated
3/4 c. chopped almonds
3 c. fresh, whole milk ricotta
1 c. confectioner’s sugar, sifted
1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
Freshly grated zest of 2 medium oranges
For the Icing
1-1/2 c. heavy cream
1 tsp. gelatin dissolved in 2 tbsp water
1 c. confectioner’s sugar
1/8 tsp. salt
1 tsp. vanilla
8 oz. cream cheese at room temp
For the Candied Orange Peels
Skin from two large oranges
Left over Marsala Syrup
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and position a rack in the center. Lightly grease two 8" round cake pans with cooking spray, then line the bottom with parchment and spray again.
For the sponge cakes, sift together flour, baking powder and salt, then set aside. In the bowl of your mixer, whisk together egg yolks and sugar on medium speed until very light and pale yellow in color. In about 3 minutes, it will double in volume. Beat in the vanilla extract, then slowly pour in the melted, cooled butter. Pour the mixture into a large mixing bowl and fold in the reserved dry ingredients using a rubber spatula until just mixed. It will be very thick and somewhat sticky. Do not over mix.
Clean the bowl of your mixer and the whisk to remove all egg yolks, then add the egg whites and pinch of salt, beating on medium high speed until soft peaks are formed. Add about 1/4 of the egg whites to the reserved batter and stir to lighten, then add the rest, folding to incorporate, and lighten the thickness of the batter. Make sure no pockets of dry ingredients remain.
Evenly divide the batter between the prepared pans, smoothing the tops with a spatula. Bake the cakes for 30 minutes or until they are golden brown, when a wooden skewer inserted in the center is clean when removed. Allow cakes to cool in the pans for 5 minutes, then remove to wire racks to cool completely.
While the cakes are baking, make the syrup. In a narrow saucepan, stir together sugar, water, and marsala. Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the contents to a boil, then lower the heat slightly and allow the syrup to simmer for 5 minutes undisturbed. Remove the pan from the heat and allow the syrup to cool.
Then prepare the filling. Place the ricotta, confectioner’s sugar, and cinnamon in the bowl of an electric mixer and, using the paddle attachment, beat until the ricotta is creamy and soft. Add the grated chocolate, chopped almonds, and orange zest and beat just until combined.
To assemble the cassata, have ready an 8-inch springform pan. Using a serrated knife, carefully spit each cake layer in half horizontally to make four layers. Place one of the layers in the bottom of the pan cut side up and using a pastry brush, moisen it generously and evenly with some of the marsala syrup. Spread the cake layer evenly with one third of the ricotta mixture. Repeat twice with another cake layer, more of the marsala syrup, and another thired of the rictta mixture. Place the final cake layer on top and generously brush with the rum syrup. Wrap the springform pan tightly in plastic wrap to help the layers fit snugly on top of one another. Chill the cake in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight.
About halfway through the chilling period, make the candied orange peels. Slice the ends off each orange, then in a downward motion, make parallel cuts through the skin around each orange. Remove strips from the oranges, and if desired, adjust the thickness of each by slicing in half.
In a pan of boiling water, drop the orange peel strips in, and let cook for a minute or so. Drain and repeat. Then with the marsala syrup left from the cake, stir in orange peel strips and heat, simmering on a very low setting for about an hour. Remove strips with a fork, and a few at a time, drop and roll in a plate full of granulated sugar. Remove to a wire rack lined with waxed paper until dry.
To make the frosting, in the bowl of a mixer, whip heavy cream until soft peaks form. Add the softened gelatin, then whip until stiff. In another bowl, combine cream cheese, sugar, salt and vanilla until smooth. Fold the whipped cream into the cheese mixture and make sure all is incorporated.
To frost the cake, spread icing on the sides smoothly, then mound the rest on the top. Place candied orange peels around the top and refrigerate to set the frosting about 1 hour.
Watch husband, mother, and finnicky teen eaters gobble it up when served after dinner.
- This cake has the all important "not too sweet" factor going on. The ricotta and bittersweet chocolate are a pleasant combo — especially since the chocolate isn’t melted as it usually is. Very nice! The crunch of the well-chopped almonds added to the uniqueness of this filling. The grated orange peel is only a hint in each bite.
- The sponge comes together rather oddly. It’s very, very thick before the addition of the egg whites, and I did wonder whether there would be any air left in the whites as I incorporated them. My worries were unfounded, because the cakes rose very well, and after slicing each in half, allowed for four 1-inch layers. Nice!
- The original recipe called for unsalted pistachios and after having my husband call from the grocery store several times not being able to find them, I settled for almonds. No complaints about my husband doing the shopping, of course. That’s a treat.
- The original recipe also called for rum, and I’m sort of Bleh on rum unless it’s a Pina Colada, so marsala wasn’t a difficult choice. The syrup was not boozy tasting and the marsala was a perfect compliment to the orange. Pleasantly surprised! Cointreau or Gran Mariner would have been too strong in my opinion, which is only worth about two cents on most days.
- I had to have cream cheese and whipped cream with this cake. I needed a fluffy, not too strong, light and pleasant accompaniment to the sponge and dense filling. So thanks, Breadchick, for the suggestion. It was perfect!
- The recipe calls for chocolated grated in "fine, feathery shreds." Um. This takes FOREVER. But when you’re done, you’ll have quite the pile of chocolate feathers. And chocolate everywhere in your kitchen. Not bad if you have light colored floors and counters, but take a gander at mine again. It sort of blends in, doesn’t it. What. A. Mess.
- If you don’t have an 8" springform pan, line a larger one with plastic wrap so that the long edges are draped up and over the edges. Place the first layer of the cassata into the pan, then begin the process of layering. When you’re finished, draw the plastic up over the cake and wrap tightly before refrigerating. Use the plastic to lift the cake from the pan for frosting. Yes, I did this.
- I’ve made candied orange peels a variety of ways, and I do have to say that adding them to that left over marsala syrup was genius (pats self on back). The bitterness never quite goes away even though the initial blanching is supposed to get rid of it, but the marsala really helped tone it down. A bite of candied orange peel on a perfectly loaded fork really tastes yummy.
This time, Lis, Ben, John, Steph, Helen, Chris, Ivonne, and Marce added to the madness. Mary was laid up with a back injury but ubiquitously there, and unfortunately, Sara, Tanna, and Laura had other things to do on a lovely Sunday. Imagine that!
Until next time. And who knows when that will be. It’s always a surprise.

B really likes the yoghurt at Yoguru. This is at the outlet at the mall in the East called Kallang Leisure Park. It’s just beside the Starbucks. He usually goes for the plain one but he now likes the berry too. I find it too sour and too sweet all at the same time. I don’t care much for the frozen yoghurt trend.
Not that I’m a health nut or anything (far from it), but I prefer to take my traditional super sour natural yoghurt with rice and dhall. I am also suspicious of non-fat yoghurt, which tastes like it is loaded with sugar, compared to the traditional one you find at Little India. I did a bit of checking and it’s 160 calories and 34grams of sugar for a small cup. As you know by now, I’m all about taste. For that amount I’d rather indulge and have ice cream. I checked. Ben and Jerry’s Strawberry Cheesecake ice cream is 260 calories and 24grams of sugar for a portion size, but it’s 14grams fat as well.
Anyway Yoguru has a website and you can check out the locations of the various outlets there.
When I was at this mall in the East of Singapore, something else caught my eye. There’s now an awfully Chocolate cafe nearby and they sell chocolate muffins, ice cream and slices of their cake as well. Was way to full to have any of it today though, but possibly another time when the chocolate craving strikes.

New chart reveals that women still “marry up”–despite decades of feminist hectoring
From my latest blog post for the Independent Women’s Forum:
Hmm, turns out that women really do “marry up”–they choose husbands whose socioeconomic status at the very least mirrors, but preferably exceeds their own.
That’s the lesson to be learned from Bloomberg News‘s just-released “Who Marries Whom” interactive chart, using data from the 3.5 million households surveyed in the U.S. Census Bureau’s 2014 American Community Survey. Bloomberg reporters Adam Pearce and Dorothy Gambrell write:
“High-earning women (doctors, lawyers) tend to pair up with their economic equals, while middle- and lower-tier women often marry up. In other words, female CEOs tend to marry other CEOs; male CEOs are OK marrying their secretaries.”
This is interesting because it comports with evolutionary psychologists’ theory of “hypergamy”–that women instinctively tend to seek mates with higher financial resources than their own so as to assure that their offspring will be provided for. It’s a theory that has been supported by experiments indicating that women find men of higher social status more attractive than lower-status men, but feminists hate it.
Here’s an example: a 2015 article by The New Republic‘s Elizabeth Breunig titled “Pick-Up Artists and Pro-Family Conservatives Agree: Women Only Marry for Money.” Breunig writes:
“There are infinite varieties of misogyny on the Internet. Arguably the most visible type of digital woman-hating emanates from the pick-up artist movement, something between a sociopathic self-help theory and an ersatz philosophy….
“In fact, the idea that marriage is such a financial lifejacket for women that they must be forced into via the threat of poverty lest they revert to nasty instincts is somewhat typical of the pro-family right.”
In other words, the only thing worse than a dastardly pick-up artist is a conservative who believes that the traditional family is a healthy social arrangement.

From the first bang of the suitcase to the last note of the encore L’Orchestre d’Hommes-Orchestres performing the Music of Tom Waits was fabulous. They were in Toronto for two nights as part of the Free Fall Festival (presented by the Theatre Centre in partnership with Harbourfront Centre’s World Stage) at The Music Gallery.
It’s not easy to classify the evening. It’s not a concert, and it’s not a play; it’s a performance of music. As my play partner John said, “It’s Rube Goldberg music”. It’s music you have to watch because so much depends on the sight gags.
The music of Tom Waits is made and played on whatever is at hand. A turkey-baster, a saw, teacups, dominoes, frying pans, a step-ladder, a banjo and spaghetti to make a snare drum, bottles as wind instruments, a suitcase as percussion, balloons, kazoos, a golf club…
Performing with them were Les New Cackle Sisters who yodel and trill in a most amazing way. Both groups are from Quebec. There are quite a few videos on YouTube, but I think this one will give you the best idea: L’Orchestre d’Hommes-Orchestres avec Cackle Sisters.
The show was a bit heavy on Les New Cackle Sisters in the beginning. As I watched the last part, I kept seeing other “instruments” I’d forgotten about.
If the lyrics were unintelligible at times, it didn’t matter. This isn’t your regular run-of-the-mill Tom Waits tribute; it’s a rollicking, sometimes raucous, ride with Tom Waits as the connection between the performers and audience.
If you ever have the opportunity to see L’Orchestre d’Hommes-Orchestres don’t miss them. It’s high on my must-see list.
-The Music Gallery (197 John St) has a full program of music that challenges. Check the calendar to see what’s on.
– Free Fall ‘10 continues until March 28 at various venues

Greyhound Husky Mix (A Comprehensive Guide)
The Greyhound Husky mix typically has a medium size, narrow head, long legs, and a muscular backend. These fascinating dogs usually weigh around 45 to 50 pounds and can grow up to 30 inches tall.
With their short, smooth coats and soft undercoat, they are well-suited for colder climates. So, if you're considering adding a Greyhusky to your family, you're in for a treat with their lively and endearing demeanor.
Greyhound Husky mixes are not an AKC-recognized breed, either. It’s unique and not as commonly seen, but they’re extremely friendly to other dogs. They inherit some physical traits from both parent breeds, like the thick coat of fur from the Siberian Husky and the sleek build from the Greyhound.
They are known for their adaptability and athletic abilities, making them perfect for those who want a versatile and energetic companion. I've compiled a brief review of their key characteristics, which sets them apart from other breeds.
One of the most striking features of Greyhound Husky mixes is their playful and loving temperament. Despite being very active, they are also patient and follow instructions quite well. This makes them great companions for families with young children.
Greyhound Husky Mix: Origin and History
This breed is not only captivating to look at, but their friendly personalities and high energy levels make them perfect companions for those seeking an athletic and loving pet.
The Greyhound Husky is not to be confused with the Husky Italian Greyhound mix. Let’s review both dogs' history and how this mixed breed came to be.
I find Greyhounds to be such fascinating dogs. They originated in ancient Egypt and have been known for their incredible speed and elegance for centuries.
As one of the oldest breeds in history, these dogs have been companions to both royalty and hunters alike. It's always exciting to learn more about these elegant and fast canines, as they've played important roles throughout history.
Siberian Husky Breed
On the other hand, we have the Siberian Husky – a breed that hails from the cold Siberian Arctic region. They’re commonly portrayed as sled dogs. I love their gorgeous and captivating blue eyes, a trait that makes them instantly recognizable.
Did you know that Siberian huskies played a crucial role in the survival of the ancient Chukchi people? These powerful and adaptable dogs were used to pull sleds and helped to travel vast distances over icy terrains.
Today, they're still known for their endurance, friendliness, and playful nature. But where did Husky Greyhound Mix dog come from?
Greyhound Husky Mix
While the exact history of how and when these two breeds were combined is somewhat unclear, it's evident that someone wanted to create an exceptionally fast, attentive, loyal, and beautiful dog by combining the best traits from both parents.
It's believed that this unique hybrid first appeared in America sometime in the early 20th century. In doing so, we now have a Greyhound Husky mix that exhibits many characteristics that make both parent breeds so popular.
Husky Greyhound Mix Appearance and Characteristics
Husky Greyhound mix puppies are small with big, beautiful eyes. But they don’t stay tiny forever. I remember my Husky Greyhound mix puppy growing quickly into an adult.
Size and Weight
When I first saw a Greyhound Husky Mix, I noticed its sleek and powerful build. These dogs will grow to 40-50 lbs and have a height between 20 and 30 inches.
Coat and Color
I was amazed by the variety of colors in their fur! They can range from salt-and-pepper to deep charcoal gray. The coat is usually a mix of the Husky's thick fur and the Greyhound's short hair.
The Husky comes in a wide range of colors which directly impacts the appearance of the mix, including red, black and white, agouti, and many more.
Eye and Facial Features
One thing that caught my eye was their striking facial features. Husky Greyhound mixes have long, skinny legs, making them look very athletic.
Their eyes are highly captivating, as they come in various shades of blue and can have brown or black spots all over them.
I've found that the Greyhound Husky Mix truly showcases the best features of both parent breeds, creating a stunning and unique appearance.
Greyhound Husky Mix Temperament and Personality
Greyhound Husky Mix puppies are super friendly and energetic. They love playing and they maintain that same behavior as they age. We love this breed for families with children or other pets.
Behavior with Family
In my experience, the Greyhound Husky Mix, sometimes called a Greyhusky, is a perfect family dog. They have a unique combination of the Greyhound's elegance and the Husky's strength, making them beautiful, energetic, and playful pets.
From what I've seen, they are very friendly with children, and their loving nature makes them an excellent addition to any family. I would describe them as playful, loving, and great with young children.
When it comes to activity, I can't stress enough how important exercise is for a Greyhound Husky mix. As a high-energy breed, they require daily physical activities that stimulate their body and mind.
I can't imagine keeping this dog in a small apartment; they need space to run and release their energy. They need lots of exercise as well. Some activities that work well for my Greyhound Husky mix are:
- Playing fetch
- Going for long walks or runs
- Visiting dog parks for socialization and off-leash play
One thing I love about my Greyhound Husky mix is their sociable and friendly nature. They get along well with other dogs and have a gentle attitude towards humans too.
Their intelligence also makes them easy to train, so they quickly learn how to behave in public settings. Most Greyhound Husky mixes are hyper-friendly and loving, which makes them ideal companions for families, singles, and seniors.
Remember, it's essential to socialize a Greyhound Husky mix from an early age with humans and other animals to ensure they grow up well-mannered and adaptable.
Regular visits to dog parks, obedience classes, and exposure to various environments will help your Greyhusky develop a well-rounded, friendly personality.
Expected Health and Lifespan Of Husky Greyhound Mix Dogs
Overall, the Greyhound Husky Mix breed is a healthy dog. They don’t struggle with many recurring health issues until they get much older. All Greyhound Husky Mix breeders I’ve dealt with in the past have said the same thing too.
Common Health Issues
As a Greyhound Husky Mix owner, I find it essential to be aware of the common health issues that may affect these dogs.
I've learned that Greyhounds and Huskies experience specific health conditions that might impact their crossbreed offspring. For example, Greyhounds are prone to bloat and gastric torsion.
Some common health issues include:
- Hip Dysplasia: a common issue in Huskies that can affect their mobility and cause arthritis.
- Heart disease: Greyhounds are more prone to heart issues, so it's essential to monitor your dog's heart health regularly is essential.
- Eye problems: Both Huskies and Greyhounds may experience eye disorders like progressive retinal atrophy (PRA).
To minimize the risk of encountering these health problems, I always make sure my Greyhound Husky Mix gets routine checkups and is up-to-date with vaccinations.
My Greyhound Husky Mix is a cherished member of my family, so understanding its life expectancy is essential. The Greyhound's average lifespan ranges from 10-14 years, while a Husky typically lives 12-15 years.
Mixed-breed dogs tend to live a similar length. Considering this, you can expect a Greyhound Husky to live 12-15 years. However, I know that a dog’s lifespan depends on various factors like diet, exercise, and overall health.
To prolong my Greyhound Husky Mix's life, I ensure it has a balanced diet, plenty of physical activity, and regular visits to the veterinarian.
Greyhound Husky Mix Training and Exercise Requirements
When training a Greyhound Husky mix, their intelligent and eager-to-please nature will make it a smooth process. Plus, they are gentle and easy to train for those who prefer a large, active dog with a harmonious temperament.
As a Greyhound Husky Mix owner, I've found that using positive reinforcement works wonders in training my energetic furball. Remember to be patient and consistent with your training sessions.
Never forget to reward your pooch with treats and praise for their accomplishments. Socialization is another essential aspect of training your Husky Greyhound Mix.
Early exposure to different environments, people, and other animals will help them develop into well-adjusted adults. I always encourage my pup to explore new situations, and it pays off in their confident and friendly demeanor.
My Greyhound Husky Mix has a lot of energy, so it's crucial for me to ensure they get at least one hour of exercise a day.
I usually split this into several short walks and even include some playtime in the backyard. Activities like:
- Tug of war
- Running or jogging
Not only do these activities keep my dog physically fit, but they also help burn off energy and prevent boredom which, in turn, can lead to destructive behavior.
So, if you own a Greyhound Husky Mix, make sure you dedicate enough time and energy to keep them active, happy, and healthy.
Greyhound Husky Mix Grooming and Maintenance
Below we cover some of the basics for owners when it comes to grooming and maintenance.
As a Greyhound Husky Mix owner, I can tell you that grooming is relatively simple. These dogs typically have a short coat, which is much easier to groom than a purebred Husky's coat.
However, you should still be prepared to brush their coat regularly, especially during shedding season. My weekly routine usually involves a quick grooming session to keep my dog's coat shiny and healthy.
I noticed that using a bristle brush works well for this task. Additionally, depending on your dog's coat type, you may need to trim around their feet and face occasionally.
Double-coated dogs like these may shed more, but I found that grooming is still manageable with just a bit more effort. Below is my go-to list of equipment for grooming and maintenance:
- Bristle brush
- Scissors or clippers for trimming
- Nail clipper
- Dog-safe shampoo and conditioner
- Towel or brush for drying
Dental care is essential to taking care of your Greyhound Husky Mix. As a responsible pet parent, I ensure to include dental care in my dog's overall grooming process.
I brush my dog's teeth with a suitable toothbrush and dog-safe toothpaste at least two to three times a week. Aside from brushing, providing your dog with dental treats and toys designed to help clean their teeth can be a great supplementary method.
In my experience, I found that giving my dog chew toys and dental treats helps reduce plaque and tartar build-up.
How Rare Is a Husky Greyhound Mix?
The Husky Greyhound mix, also known as the Grey Houndsky, is quite fascinating as it combines two popular breeds: the Greyhound and the Siberian Husky.
Although it's not a common mix, you can still find it among breed enthusiasts and crossbreed lovers. The Husky Greyhound mix is not officially recognized by major canine organizations, such as the American Kennel Club.
Therefore, it can be considered relatively rare. One option is to search online or check with breeders, animal shelters, and rescues. When it comes to finding a Grey Houndsky puppy, it might take a bit more effort due to their rare status.
However, I did discover that their price range can vary between $1000 to $2500, depending on factors like location, puppy quality, availability, and the breeder.

After its levy was voted on Tuesday in Franklin, Marion, Morrow, and Union counties, the Delaware Area Career Center is planning to re-start the construction project it was forced to delay this summer and is anticipating the consolidated campus will be completed in August 2019.
The renewal levy was originally passed by Delaware County voters in 2015 with a margin of more than 10,000 votes and was supposed to appear on the ballot for 1,026 voters in Franklin, Marion, Morrow, and Union counties, but never appeared outside Delaware County due to an error on the part of the Delaware County Board of Elections.
Following are the results from Tuesday’s election: Franklin County, 14 for, 2 against; Marion County, 1 for, 7 against; Morrow County, 159 for, 229 against; Union County, 2 for, 1 against.
Without the funds from the levy the DACC Board of Education voted in May to suspend the ongoing $45 million project to consolidate all of the DACC programs into a 224,774 square-foot consolidate campus. The project had been under construction since October 2016.
In May, local state representatives Andrew Brenner, R-Powell, and Rick Carfagna, R-Genoa Township, authored House Bill 124, which extends the DACC renewal levy that was passed by voters in 2015 so the levy would only need to be voted on in the other four counties.
The bill was approved by the House on May 17 and was sent to the Senate Ways and Means Committee. An amended version of the bill was approved on June 21 by the senate and the bill was signed by Gov. John Kasich on June 28.
On Wednesday, DACC Superintendent Mary Beth Freeman said the career center is planning to continue construction after they receive a letter from the Board of Elections certifying the levy.
“We plan to begin as soon as possible,” Freeman said. “We’re hoping to start back no later than January. We should have that letter before the end of the month.”
Freeman said the new addition at the South Campus will be completed first and the south programs will move into those facilities while crews renovate the current South Campus. The north programs will move to the consolidated campus in August 2019.
Freeman said she’s thankful for House Bill 124 and for Brenner and Carfagna’s work to help the career center.
“Their legislation has allowed the process to stay pure,” Freeman said. “I’m glad that all the voters had the opportunity to vote on this issue that effects their community. I am looking forward to being able to move forward.”

Curiosity is oftentimes the beginning of learning.
When we’re curious, we begin to ask questions. Our questions prompt us to investigate, and our investigations lead to a destination. Sometimes, the destination leads us to a firm conclusion that satisfies our curiosity by answering our original (or newly formed) questions.
But sometimes, the destination we reach only offers us more questions.
Maybe someone is curious about why some people can afford to live in big expensive houses and others cannot. Upon investigation, they find out that some people have more money and others do not. But that destination isn’t conclusive enough to satisfy the curiosity.
The next logical question is, why or how come?
The investigation into why would lead someone in many different areas, including education and its connection to income inequality and privilege; the connection between privilege, where someone lives and where they go to school. Unearthing those concepts would lead to more questions and more investigation.
All in the hopes of achieving a conclusion that puts us on the path of progress on behalf of people.
That’s what learning is all about; having the curiosity to ask questions, investigate to seek answers, and reach conclusions to open the door to greater understand that can lead to greater curiosity, and more questions. The best teachers not only meet students where they are with their instruction, but they foster student curiosity, leading them to questioning their world and the world around them while cultivating the skills of investigation and research.
It is important for teachers to refine their praxis by evaluating the ways they cultivate inquiry in the classroom. This is especially important because teachers often determine the course of learning by the questions they ask children and the questions they cultivate within the minds of children as per their instruction.
It matters particularly because how inquiry is utilized in the classroom is the difference between a classroom that critically examines systemic racism in the context of their content and a classroom that preaches facts, people, places, theories and explanations to students.
That means asking the following questions, what destinations am I leading students to with my instruction and cultivation of inquiry? Am I comfortable leading them to a space where they critically examine the relationship between a white supremacist social order and the circumstances their communities find itself in?Can I explain how we got there as a society and where I am in relation to it?
These are certainly difficult questions to wrestle with for any educator. However, one cannot do the work of empowering students by aiming their acquired skills and competencies to tackle systemic injustices if one is unable to expose students to truth by way of instruction and targeted inquiry.
Teachers can’t be afraid of asking students tough questions to consider. Teachers can’t be afraid of what they may find out. Teachers can’t be afraid of what questions their students ask.
Fear is the enemy of truth and ours is a post-truth society because many people are running scared of the truth because the truth changes one’s intellectual and moral trajectory. A knowledge of our nation’s truth and the vestiges of its sins prevents the ignoring the harms done to Black and native peoples; we will be unable to live the same any longer.
Teachers, specifically white teachers, must be courageous; courageous enough to ask the right questions.
Asking the right questions means that pedagogy must be one that believes that inquiry is a key way to drive student learning and that inquiry must be rooted in student knowledge and student experiences. All new knowledge is built on the foundation of prior knowledge. Any skill or competency taught to students must utilize what student already know to make it stick.
In order to teach systemic racism, using such lessons to develop student acquired skills in any given content area, pedagogy must center on examining the experiences of students in relation to systemic racism they encounter in the schools, within the communities and outside of their communities.
Teaching and instruction must lead students to make the connection between systemic racism, acquired knowledge that converts to a skill and their experiences to empower them with the ability to change their communities for the better and the belief that they can.
Education is no endeavor simply to hoard information never to be used. Education is no endeavor for the storing of information only to share it to build one’s ego. Education is an endeavor meant to liberate the bodies and minds of those oppressed. Education is the task of asking questions to get answers whereby the needs of the people can be met.
That means teachers must use inquiry to lead students to critical question the conditions of society and the conditions of their community. For example, third grade science lessons detailing that oxygen is released by trees should elicit inquiry examining why some communities have a wealth of green spaces and others do not. Seventh grade math lessons about proportions can elicit cross-curricular work with social studies teachers that ask why politics gerrymander congressional districts.
It’s not rocket science. You just have to ask the right questions.

Graphic Recording and Facilitation
Have you heard of Graphic Recording? Graphic Recording is the act of summarizing a presentation or meeting in a visual format. There are many formats that can be completed from a sketchbook to digital production. The names change depending on who you talk to and range from visual note taking to graphic recording, scribing, graphic facilitation, and more.
The power of graphic recording is that it summarizes a presentation in a visual format with just the highlights allowing for all the key points of a presentation to be seen at once. This is a benefit over a Powerpoint presentation as you can see all key points together with colours, pictures, and text helping people focus on what’s important. This summary can be sent to attendees after the presentation and the presenter gets to see how their presentation unfolded. Our graphic recording work is based on the needs of the client, with half day and full day rates available.

Napolitano Changes Her Mind
Apotropaically, partheopaically, Janet Napolitano, who yesterday said that the security system "worked really very, very smoothly" suddenly -- everyone was calling for her head -- changes her mind:
Napolitano concedes airline security system failed
The Obama administration has ordered investigations into the two areas of aviation security — how travelers are placed on watch lists and how passengers are screened — as critics questioned how the 23-year-old Nigerian man charged in the airliner attack was allowed to board the Dec. 25 flight.
A day after saying the system worked, Napolitano backtracked, saying her words had been taken out of context.
"Our system did not work in this instance," she said on NBC's "Today" show. "No one is happy or satisfied with that. An extensive review is under way."

”Growing old is unavoidable, but never growing up is possible. I believe you can retain certain things from your childhood if you protect them - certain traits, certain places where you don’t let the world go.”-Johnny Depp
Johnny Depp takes the stage to accept an award at the 2014 Make-Up Artists And Hair Stylists Guild Awards held at the Paramount Theatre, Feb 15
So the power of his [Johnny Depp’s] celebrity is such that it pushes you away?
Yeah. I didn’t mean to. It’s just so intimidating. I didn’t know what to say to him and I, like, realized I was taking steps backwards away from him and I was trying to have a normal conversation with him from, like, 17 feet away.
Better and better every year.

Following the events Monday, Aug. 16 at the evacuation center at Lassen Community College, Health and Social Services Director Barbara Longo wanted to figure out what happened, she shared during the Tuesday, Aug. 24 Lassen County Board of Supervisors meeting.
“Our staff has done an amazing job and I just think that this needs to be publicly addressed,” said Longo to the board. “So here I stand before you to do that.”
The day after an attempt to transport Plumas County residents from the Lassen Shelter to one in Portola, social media posts and comments made at a Plumas County Board of Supervisors meeting found focused on the event.
During the Plumas meeting, supervisor Greg Hagwood dialed in a Plumas County evacuee who explained what he experienced, when he was trying to pack up his four children and three dogs from the shelter with little warning, and was told that if he didn’t, he would be cited and arrested. Then, the caravan of evacuees had to return to Susanville after Highway 395 became impassible due to the fire, according to an article detailing the meeting on PlumasNews.com.
During the meeting, Hagwood said, “Lassen County if you’re listening, you should be ashamed of yourselves. Understand, we would never, ever treat anyone in the way these people have described.”
However, During the Tuesday Lassen board meeting, Longo said Lassen staff served as a messenger for the transferring of Plumas County residents, and that better co-messaging from both counties should be the norm in any future events.
During the meeting, Longo said she spoke to several people, including the Plumas County Sheriff, shelter residents, staff and Red Cross, and through the interviews put together a preliminary timeline of what occurred. She informed the board she would present a timeline to them once it was complete.
Lassen County first opened it’s emergency shelter for Plumas County residents July 23 after staff already worked for weeks having a shelter for Beckwourth Fire Complex evacuees, and a power outage medical center.
Longo said Plumas County officials called asking for mutual aid to open a shelter, and the LCC medical center was shifted to a center for Plumas County evacuees, she said there were more than 647 four-hour shifts covered by Lassen County staff.
Then, Longo said, referring to the rough draft of her timeline, on Aug. 13 there was an attempt to repopulate Plumas residents back home, which was delayed due to increased fire activity.
“It was clearly a stressful situation,” she said, noting the residents staying at the shelter were in a tense situation of not knowing when they’d get to go home.
That Monday, though, she said county leadership started looking into the possibility of evacuating the Janesville area, as fire activity was increase in the region. She said they had conversations knowing the shelter had capacity to manage the new evacuees.
However, Longo told the board that county leadership was informed that Plumas was considering either repopulating areas, or moving evacuees to a shelter in Portola.
“Here we are, Monday, and we learned late in the afternoon that they were going to send up buses. The conversation I heard when I was talking to some folks was that they were going to be sending up buses, and they wanted us to let people know the buses were coming and they would be going back to Plumas County,” Longo said, adding Lassen staff started informing shelter residents of the change.
She said there was a CHP escort who was going to escort drivers ready to go as activity was increasing Highway 395.
She acknowledged a kind of evacuation trauma going on.
“Some people there at the shelter were upset about all this. And we get it, we totally understand all the different tensions and everything going on,” Longo relayed to the board
She also said there was a small group who were “angry and aggressive” towards staff relaying the message who were allegedly threatening to “riot.”
Longo noted staff called the Susanville Police Department. She recalled the police went to the group.
“The PD said to them if you continue with behavior, you’re going to be arrested.”
In a statement released a few days after the incident, the Susanville Police Department wrote, “At approximately 6:30 p.m. on Aug. 16, officers from the Susanville Police Department, while conducting emergency evacuation advisories, were dispatched to Lassen Community College on a report of a disturbance involving an unknown number of people. The events that occurred subsequent to our arrival are currently under review.
“The Police Department and its members understand these are emotional and trying times for everyone in our community and surrounding areas. We continue to stay committed to keep our city, our community members, and welcomed visitors safe while working in a professional and courteous manner. No arrest(s), citations, or use of force was used. Officers were able to clear from the shelter and continue with their evacuation notifications in the city after a representative from Plumas County arrived.”
Longo mentioned that in order to better understand what went wrong, she spoke to some who were residing at the shelter.
“From this information, so far, what I’m finding, is that people were very upset because it was a short period of time that they were being asked to pack up and go. That makes sense,” Longo said, saying some were wanting to wait until the next day. “Again, being the messengers, we didn’t order the buses, we didn’t place the order, make the decision for them to go. That was the message we received.”
She also addressed comments that Lassen County staff was putting people in harm’s way and forcibly removing people.
“That absolutely did not happen,” she said, adding the Plumas County Sheriff was at the shelter helping evacuees on to the buses and joining the caravan.
Overall, Longo noted better communication and messaging form both counties would help moving forward.
“This whole event took place. It was rather unfortunate. But I think, moving forward, we will certainly, obviously work to help any partners that need help, but we really need to have co-messaging. It was really unfortunate our staff had to be the messengers,” Longo said. “
Longo thanked Jenna Aguilera and Danielle Sanchez for running the shelters, and the county staff who work at the shelters.
“I’m here to support my team, and to support Plumas County too — they’ve gone through a lot — but knowing in the future we will do things differently to support the residents of both of those communities,” said Longo.

Moxie Sozo-Designed LOVO Is Swiss Milk Chocolate Without The Moo
by Rudy Sanchez on 03/06/2023 | 2 Minute Read
In addition to expensive timepieces and multipurpose pocket knives, the European nation of Switzerland is also known for its chocolate, particularly milk chocolate. Swiss Daniel Peter invented milk chocolate in 1875, and the Alpine nation’s reputation for producing some of the finest and best-tasting chocolate has only grown since then.
When LOVO founders Courtenay Vuchnich and Simon Lester set out to make a range of vegan, gluten-free, and non-GMO plant-milk-based chocolate bars, the husband and wife team went to Switzerland and its milk chocolate industry’s nearly 150-year experience. The result was LOVO’s range of treats loaded with almonds, hazelnuts, coconut, and oat milk.
Vuchnich and Lester teamed up with the talented folks at Moxie Sozo for LOVO’s branding and packaging design. LOVO’s branding respects Switzerland’s milk chocolate legacy while celebrating the brand’s plant-based recipes.
“We wanted a brand name and logo which was bold with clean visual simplicity that uniquely communicates our plant-based positioning,” Courtenay said. “The L and the V represent the plants, and the O’s are in the shape of the nuts in our line of bars. This unique font allows us to communicate our love for an innovative new dairy-free milk chocolate with a positioning designed for 2023.”
The wrappers use a pleasant blue base delightfully illustrated with birds, including turacos, the national bird of Switzerland, squirrels, and milk jugs. The sharper-eyed will also spot the Matterhorn’s fabled cryptid, the Yeti. Each flavor’s wrapper design also features the nuts each milk gets made from in a brighter support color. Additionally, the LOVO logo prominently features on the front of the wrapper in a milky white.
What's more, the wrappers are entirely curbside recyclable and made from FSC-certified paper.
“LOVO came to Moxie Sozo with a great product and the unique challenge of breaking into the milk chocolate category as a 100% plant-based offering,” said Nate Dyer, creative director at Moxie Sozo. “We needed to create a brand and package that communicated the creaminess and deliciousness of the chocolate while also telling the plant-based story without scaring off any conventional milk chocolate consumers. LOVO straddles the line between a wholesome indulgence and traditional milk chocolate with an approachable sophistication that will win over chocolate lovers everywhere.”
LOVO chocolate bars are available now at LOVOChocolate.com and Amazon.

It’s a shame, but Carlos Guillen doesn’t appear likely to contribute to the Tigers’ postseason run this year.
On what appeared to be a perfectly innocent play, Guillen suffered a right calf strain and left Sunday’s game against the A’s. It unfolded as Jemile Weeks hit a slow grounder back to pitcher Justin Verlander. Guillen took a few steps in, just in case the ball got by Verlander, and quickly came up lame. After being looked at by the trainer, he was able to gingerly walk off the field without assistance.
Guillen, who underwent microfracture surgery on his left knee last year, has been limited to 95 at-bats this season. He was making just his third start today since coming off the DL on Sept. 1. In the previous one, he went 3-for-5 with a homer against the White Sox on Wednesday. Still, he’s hitting only .232/.265/.368 overall.
Because of his struggles, Guillen was no sure bet to make the Tigers’ postseason roster anyway. Now it appears doubtful he’ll be included. The Tigers will likely have Ryan Raburn and Ramon Santiago split time at second base next month.
Cardinals shortstop Aledmys Diaz was childhood friends with Marlins pitcher Jose Fernandez, so it was expected when Diaz took time away from the team on Monday to visit Fernandez’s family in Miami. They grew up on the same street in Cuba and played for the same youth baseball team and both would ultimately wind up playing Major League Baseball in the United States.
In the bottom of the fourth inning of Tuesday night’s game against the Reds, Diaz hit a 2-1 Robert Stephenson fastball out to left-center field for a no-doubt grand slam. Teammate Yadier Molina gave Diaz a tight hug as he crossed home plate.
Before Tuesday’s game, Diaz said that the best way to honor Fernandez was to play with his passion, as MLB.com’s Jenifer Langosch reports. Diaz said, “I only play for [Fernandez’s] family right now.”
Here’s the video.
The Red Sox would have clinched the AL East if one of two things happened on Tuesday night: the Red Sox themselves beat the Yankees, or the Orioles defeated the Blue Jays. Neither happened.
The Jays soundly took down the Orioles 5-1 behind six strong innings from Aaron Sanchez. Josh Donaldson went 2-for-2 with a two-run home run and a pair of walks and leadoff batter Ezequiel Carrera went 2-for-3 with a solo homer, an RBI single, a walk, and three runs scored.
Meanwhile, at Yankee Stadium, the Yankees outlasted the Red Sox for a 6-4 win, responding to both two-run innings the Sox had in the sixth and seventh with a run in the sixth and two in the seventh. Gary Sanchez hit his 20th homer of the season. Didi Gregorius and Tyler Austin also contributed dingers. Starter Luis Cessa pitched well, limiting the Sox to two runs over six innings on five hits and a walk with two strikeouts. Red Sox starter David Price struggled, yielding six runs in 6 1/3 innings. Yankees reliever Tyler Clippard got into trouble in the ninth inning but was able to wiggle out of trouble to finish out the game.
Once again, the Red Sox will be able to clinch the AL East on Wednesday with a win over the Yankees or a Blue Jays loss to the Orioles.

What we think
“The combination of Mismo’s Danish design heritage and appreciation of classic craftsmanship means their bags and accessories perfectly complement your daily life and trips away.”
Sick of dull, uninspired nylon? So were the founders of Danish bags and accessories maker Mismo when they dreamt up their brand in 2006. They hoped to bring creativity to your carriers, and their approach is creative too – they’ve never been a brand to follow tradition. Their worldly approach shows in their heritage: they’ve got a Spanish name, Italian fabrics and Turkish production partners. A brand for those who don’t want to be tied down by their geography.
With their focus on minimalism and function, Mismo’s approach to production is detailed. They take bags back to basics in their design studio, leaving only the most high quality essentials – it makes for an elegant look, and quality bags that get the job done.
