Older people do £2.3 billion unpaid work in region
8:09am Wednesday 28th November 2012 in News
OLDER people do unpaid work worth £2.3billion in Yorkshire and the Humber, according to the 2012 Retirement Nation report by MGM Advantage.
The report found that people approaching and in retirement in Yorkshire and the Humber gave society an average of 84 hours a year in charitable work at a value of £541 million and 98 hours of voluntary community work worth £632 million.
They also provide 285 hours in free care for grandchildren, parents and other family members, saving the family economy £1.1 billion in the last year.
Yet the majority felt undervalued by society.
Sixty per cent felt they were treated badly by politicians and 42 per cent felt that society treated them badly, while 27 per cent thought they were poorly portrayed by the media.

The pants look awesome. I wanted to rate a five but two things kept me from a 5. The inside liner is parted on the inside in the knee area and snags your knee braces when you are putting them on or taking them off. However, there is a lot of room for your braces. Second, they run a little tight. The ankles are a little tight and the waist is a little tight. They come with adjustments around the waist band and are elastic also. If I had ordered them again I would have got 34's instead of 32's.Read All Reviews

Walking to the truck, I looked like I was wearing Forrest Gumps' knee braces. Trying to shift was like a guessing game, couldn't feel a thing. But they're brand new, should be expected. Rode for about two hours, by the end I could rotate my ankle and I knew what gear I was in. They're really comfortable, which I wouldn't expect for the price. I assume in a few more rides they'll be perfect. Got stuck in the mud and found out that they do a good job of keeping things out. Haha. Pressure washed them on my feet and they still kept all the water out. Definitely would reccomend.Read All Reviews

LIVERMORE FALLS — Police Lt. Thomas Gould, a veteran law enforcement officer, will become the police chief in Fairfield, starting July 15.
"During the past couple months we went through a lengthy hiring process in which there were more than 40 applicants," Fairfield Town Manager Joshua Reny said Friday. "We interviewed eight candidates and then had second interviews with those on our short list. We ultimately selected Mr. Gould because we believe he has all the qualities that we were looking for in a new chief."
Gould has the experience, character and leadership skills that are necessary, he said.
"He is community focused and has a stellar reputation in Livermore Falls," Reny said. "He is at the point in his career that he is prepared to become a chief, and we believe he will be very effective as Fairfield's new chief law enforcement officer. We are very happy that he has accepted the position and we look forward to welcoming him to his new community."
Gould will earn $56,000 at an annualized rate the first six months, then $58,000 per year thereafter, Reny said.
Gould, of Jay, has submitted his resignation to Livermore Falls town officials, effective July 11.
He has been with the town for nearly three decades, Livermore Falls police Chief Ernest Steward Jr. said. When Steward became chief 25 years ago, Gould was attending the Maine Criminal Justice Academy.
"I am very proud and happy for him, he is ready and deserves this chance to move on in his career," Steward said. "He will surely be missed in Livermore Falls by the department as well as the citizens. Tom has dedicated 26 years to this town as a full-time police officer. He has been a loyal and dedicated officer his entire time here. On behalf of the police department and myself, we wish him good luck."

Students using technology to learn will benefit themselves now and society in the future.
Second- and third-graders at Wagoner's W.R. Teague Elementary are using colorful, child-sized tablet computers called nabis.
The students use the tablets to help them learn spelling, math and other subjects.
Each of Teague's 361 students has a nabi, funded by a Title 1 Academic Achievement Award. The school won the nearly $50,000 award for showing continuous growth in math and reading scores.
The students are embracing the tablets.
"... The students enjoy them," said Teague Elementary Principal Penny Risley. "They love them."
That's a big part of learning.
Children are naturally curious. Any adult who watches a child fix the settings on their smart phone knows children are not afraid of technology.
Children who find the method of learning to be fun will get more out of the lesson.
Wagoner's students should be applauded for their progress in math and reading.
That learning earned the award that paid for the tablets.
Those tablets will help students learn more and a good education will put them on a path to being better citizens.

Congressman Erik Paulsen, Acting Chairman of the Ways and Means Subcommittee on Human Resources, issued a statement Friday after the House passed the Protect Our Kids Act—legislation which establishes a commission to develop recommendations to reduce child deaths from neglect and abuse.
The 12 member commission would study a variety of issues, including prevention methods, data on fatalities and the adequacy of current programs, and then make recommendations to reduce child maltreatment deaths. Last week, Rep. Paulsen chaired a Human Resources Subcommittee hearing examining the bipartisan proposal. During the hearing, the committee heard from multiple witnesses, including former Minnesota 3rddistrict Congressman Bill Frenzel. Rep. Paulsen is an original co-sponsor of the Protect our Kids Act.
"Far too many children lose their lives each year as a result of abuse and neglect at the hands of those who should have cared for them," Paulsen wrote in a statement. "While it won't be the Federal government that solves this problem, we have a role to play. Today's legislation will bring together experts to review current child welfare programs and highlight what additional steps hold the most promise. Ultimately, this commission will help local officials and communities develop more effective approaches to reduce the number of child fatalities from abuse and neglect."

There's no doubt about it. He's still a charmer. At the age of 50, Morrissey is still popping out music at a rate that would put most bands to shame. And he's doing it with all the style and charisma that saw him define alternative in the 80's as lead singer of The Smiths.
Twenty-five years removed from his first claim to fame, the guy just cannot stop. His influence is undeniable. At Coachella last year, there were as many Smiths shirts as there were Beatles and Killers paraphernalia, even though most of the kids, like myself, had been born long after the break up of the band.
So when he collapsed last Saturday during a performance in Swindon, England, the music world held its collective breath, as he was dragged off stage by band members and rushed to the hospital. Thankfully though, the guy's well-recovered and was back on tour in a mere three days after being discharge. I guess nothing can stop this charming man.

Andrew Martens pedaled an exercise bike after the Thunder's 4-0 loss to Rapid City on Saturday night, eyes forward, talking like a captain talks.
The Wichita defenseman and locker-room leader was one of many Thunder players who had numerous chances to score but failed. Martens, the point man during Wichita's 5-on-3 advantage in the second period, felt his shortcomings were most glaring.
But as much as Wichita suffered from an off night, the performance of Rapid City goalkeeper Tim Boron was at least as much to blame, probably more. Boron stopped all 37 Wichita shots, earning a shutout against his former team that he admitted came with some good fortune.
Bad luck wasn't a good enough explanation for Martens, who couldn't immediately shrug off the defeat as the Thunder's ability to follow the law of averages with their high shot totals and point-blank chances. The loss broke Wichita's four-game winning streak.
"It's tough," Martens said. "When you get opportunities, you've got to bear down and put pucks in. I had two open-nets there, and I've got to be a leader and show by example and put those in the back of the net."
Boron, a former Thunder goalie, earned his eighth career shutout. Wichita's shot totals went down each period but the Thunder never relented, at least when the game was still in-reach. The offense that was fluid enough to make crisp passes that led to so many shots, however, was unable to put one in.
The shift from the Thunder having a poor shooting night to it becoming clear Boron was having an outstanding game in net happened when Wichita got a two-man advantage in the second but was unable to score. The Thunder played 91 seconds at 5-on-3 and a one-goal deficit with many of its best scorers on the ice.
But Martens, Matt Summers and RG Flath had close shots go wide; one went off the post, and Boron stopped several more. The momentum that created for Rapid City didn't show up until the third period, but the Thunder never had such a good chance to tie it.
"With that 5-on-3, they had some great movement and I had a few pads on a few, but they also missed a few slap shots from the slow, missed low-glove," Boron said. "I was fortunate enough to catch those wide shots. Some nights are like that. They had a lot of pressure there, and getting through that was key for our team."
A shutout became less imperative for Rapid City when Jarrett Konkle scored a power-play goal five minutes into the third to put the Rush ahead 2-0. The Thunder was mostly listless after that, seeing its shots decrease while Boron stayed motivated.
Wichita challenged Boron with different looks — 13 players took at least one shot for the Thunder compared to nine for Rapid City, which was outshot by 20. But eventually Boron got comfortable and became unstoppable.
"He played well tonight," Thunder coach Kevin McClelland said. "You've got to be smarter when the goaltender comes out and challenges you that much. You've got to make him move a little bit and get around him. But he played a heck of a hockey game."
Friday's 6-2 Wichita win over the Rush was highlighted by four fights — two pairs in rapid succession during the first and third period. There were no fights Thursday, instead Boron removed the need for the Rush to swing momentum.
Boron didn't start Friday because he was sick, but he entered the game in the first period and stopped Wichita's three-goal surge. Saturday, he shook off his sickness and every Thunder attempt.
"It's 60 minutes, and a lot of things can happen," Boron said. "A lot of funny bounces and stuff. Everything needs to go your way. The team needs to play well, I have to be playing well, and you have to dodge any funny bounces or anything like that. They don't come around too often, that's why there's a lot of factors that can ruin a shutout."

RALEIGH — North Carolina has its share of prisoners who like to think of themselves as jailhouse lawyers, competent enough to argue their way out of prison.
But since the state Senate rolled out a spending plan that eliminates the $2.89 million contract with North Carolina Prisoner Legal Services, some worry that these inmates who fight their convictions pro se Latin for representing themselves might soon have little to no say in the courts.
The U.S. Supreme Court ruled in 1977 that all prisoners must have access to the courts and that right includes having access to people trained in the law or to legal reference materials that can help them build their cases.
The Senate budget, which was forwarded to the state House of Representatives on Thursday, would require the state Department of Public Safety to put computers with legal software in state prisons so inmates can do research themselves. But the plan did not specifically allocate money for accomplishing that.
Pamela Walker, a Department of Public Safety spokeswoman, said that none of the states 66 prisons had such terminals and that installing them by July 1, the start of the new fiscal year, would be a major challenge.
Additionally, Walker said, the prison system would have to add correctional staff to supervise inmates outside their cell blocks. Furthermore, she said, correction officials would have to ensure that inmates had access to people trained in the law, whether they were paralegals, attorneys or others.
Sen. Thom Goolsby, a Republican from New Hanover County and co-chairman of the Justice and Public Safety Appropriations Committee, said earlier this week that he thought the computers and software could be installed within the departments existing budget.
Responding to complaint
Goolsby, an attorney, said he heard an inmate complain about Prisoner Legal Services, a nonprofit law firm based in Raleigh with 19 attorneys, including the director, and 17 paralegals.
Goolsby said an inmate complained to him that the law firm had provided him with a dated and worn statute book to do research.
I thought, Theres got to be a better way to give these guys what they need, Goolsby said. And what they need are the most up-to-date records so they can do their own research and represent themselves pro se. Thats what this is about.
Director defends firm
Mary Pollard, executive director of North Carolina Prisoner Legal Services, said the firm opened almost 13,000 files from inmates requesting assistance last year. It was founded in 1978, a year after the landmark Supreme Court case.
Some of firms cases over the years have evolved into civil lawsuits, such as the one that resulted in the hiring of a private consulting firm that protected female inmates from retaliation after reporting sex abuse by corrections officers. North Carolina Prisoner Legal Services also helped file a federal lawsuit on behalf of eight inmates at Central Prison, who allege that correctional officers used blind spots out of view of security cameras to beat handcuffed and shackled inmates.
The law firm also represents inmates after they have exhausted all appeals. One such case was that of Shirley Lacy, a woman with an IQ score below 40 whose trial lawyer failed to point out her mental disabilities and history of abuse before a Martin County jury convicted her of first-degree murder.
The Lacy case
Prisoner Legal Services was successful at showing a fuller picture to a Martin County judge in 2011, some 13 years after Lacy was sentenced to life in prison without possibility for parole.
In February 2012, Judge Wayland Sermons Jr. vacated the conviction.
He said Lacy, whose testimony was inconsistent about how her boyfriend died and the part she played in his death, had been denied effective legal counsel at trial.
For years, North Carolina Prisoner Legal Services has acted as a screening service for judges who see many legal claims filed by inmates who think they know the law.
Often their documents stand no chance. They either did not follow proper procedures to get their cases back into court or they present hollow legal arguments.
Firm blindsided
We do deter frivolous claims, Pollard said.
Pollard said she was surprised by the Senates budget plan. She said she had not been consulted about the possibility of elimination of the state funds, which make up 98 percent of the firms budget.
The governors proposed budget calls for an 8 percent cut in funding, amounting to about $231,200 a year, which would reflect declining prisoner populations.
But the state Senate plan, Pollard said, would be devastating.
It would mean we close, she said.

Enid News & Eagle
He never met a man he didn't like.
We're obviously referring to Will Rogers, and you're going to be reading much more from him.
Oklahoma's native son was world-famous on the silver screen, and he also wrote 4,000-plus syndicated newspaper columns.
Famous quotes from Will Rogers
Although he died nearly 80 years ago, Rogers is a national treasure. Novelist Clarence Kellend argued that "if you took Will Rogers and pitched a dab of whiskers under his chin, put a red, white and blue hat on his head, crammed his legs into star spangled pants, he'd be Uncle Sam."
Now we're giving you a chance to read his writings twice a week on our Opinion page. We're publishing Will's daily syndicated column called Daily Telegrams.
Thanks to Steve Gragert, director of Will Rogers Memorial Museums, we are chronologically reprinting the collection that was edited and republished by Oklahoma State University Press in 1978 and under copyright of the Will Rogers Memorial Commission.
These brief dispatches almost read like 21st century tweets, although they weren't limited to 140 characters.
"The Daily Telegrams were published almost in real time, in the sense that Will typed them one day, wired them to The New York Times the same day, and the NYT sent them by wire to all of the other subscriber newspapers for publication the very next day," Gragert said.
As Will insisted, his columns will be presented "as is." That means we will not alter his words, punctuation, grammar or writing style.
Some of the topical content will be dated, but we hope new generations of readers appreciate Will's unique perspective.
"I would say that Rogers is a Rorschach test into which people bring many points of view and they often end up finding them," Peter C. Rollins, Regents professor of English and American/film studies at Oklahoma State University, told Oklahoma Gazette in 2005. "And that's the virtue of him. That's why he's worth reprinting. That's why he's worth restudying."
Like the humorist once wrote, everybody is ignorant, only on different subjects.
Will's words continue to resonate with people. We're all in for a real treat.

TRAVERSE CITY — An Interlochen man could spend years in prison after authorities said he molested two young girls.
Walter P. Eldridge, 31, is charged with six counts of first-degree criminal sexual conduct with a person under 13. He was arraigned Thursday and remains in the Grand Traverse County jail.
Authorities said Eldridge repeatedly molested two girls. They are related to one of Eldridge's female acquaintances.
Grand Traverse Sheriff's Department Capt. Dave Meachum said the victim or victims are acquainted with the suspect in "well above 90 percent" of molestation cases.
"Once they begin to gain trust, they start doing things they obviously shouldn't be doing," he said. "It's very disheartening."
The alleged molestations happened over a period of about a year, according to a police report. The girls told Eldridge's female friend, who called police. Eldridge also contacted police shortly before that call to turn himself in.
Sex crimes against children must continue to be a topic of discussion among officials in schools, law enforcement and various community groups, Meachum said.
"We didn't even talk about this sort of thing 30 or 40 years ago," he said. "The more that we talk about it ... the likelihood of it occurring goes down, and if it does occur, the quicker children feel they will be able to talk about it."
Parents and others who care for children are encouraged to keep their eyes open for suspicious activity
"When the hair's going up on the back of your neck and you've got a gut feeling, you need to explore that a little bit," he said. "It's OK to take the extra precaution to protect kids."
Vigilance will only go so far, though.
"Sometimes, the clues just aren't there, and that's unfortunate," Meachum said.
A preliminary examination is scheduled for Dec. 13. A first-degree criminal sexual conduct charge carries a potential penalty of life in prison.

HOT Sound Art: "Emily Howell" (David Cope, 1980-2011)Saturday, August 28th, 2010
HOT music created by the computer program Emily Howell. As Chris Wilson writes, "Ms. Howell's ancestry dates back to 1980, when Cope — by then a successful human composer — hit a brick wall while trying to write an opera. Cope, a genuine polymath with an aptitude for computers, had been playing music his entire life and was respected among modern composers, but around his 40th birthday his ideas started to dry up. In desperation, he wrote a computer program to generate random melodies and musical ideas." Supposedly the first results were "unlistenable" (I'd love to hear them) and this caused Cope to rethink his approach. "We don't start with a blank slate," Cope says, "In fact, what we do in our brains is take all the music we've heard in our life, segregate out what we don't like, and try to replicate [what we do like] while making it our own." (read more)
This resulted in the creation of his first virtual composer "Emmy" (EMI: Experiments in Musical Intelligence). 30 years later Cope has finally unveiled his second virtual composer Emily Howell, whose first album From Darkness, Light was released earlier this year. Unfortunately most of the discussion around Emily's music takes one of two positions: 1) it is as good as human composition (surprising!) or 2) it is clearly the work of a computer (soulless!). However, these questions do not interest me. What interests me is how it sounds, irrespective of our mechanical-human prejudice. And I am here to say Emily's music sounds HOT!
"If only Beethoven or Chopin could explain their methods as clearly as David Cope. So when Cope's program writes a delightful turn of musical phrase, who is the artist: the composer being emulated, Cope's software, or David Cope himself? Cope offers keen philosophical insights into this question, one that will become increasingly compelling over time. He also provides us with brilliant and unique insights into the intricate structure of humankind's most universal artform." (Raymond Kurzweil)

Washington, D.C. – House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-VA) today issued the following statement on the Senate's passage of the bipartisan, bicameral America Invents Act, H.R. 1249, which was passed by the House in June.
"I am glad the Senate has finally acted on this pro-growth legislation, which is a key part of the House Republicans' jobs plan to spur growth in this economy so that we can see more jobs created. This bipartisan bill will allow inventors and entrepreneurs to more efficiently launch new products by streamlining the nation's patent system and addressing the current backlog of 700,000 patents. I look forward to President Obama signing this bill into law so that businesses can innovate, compete, and create jobs to get Americans back to work."

AUSTIN -- Federal agents brought down two Mexican drug networks operating in Central Texas. The U.S. Attorney's Office unveiled more than two dozen indictments Thursday.
The body shop is located in an industrial area about a quarter of a mile from a neighborhood.
One man who has worked in the area for three years told KVUE Thursday that the neighborhood was drug-infested when he first got there but says he is seeing some improvement.
"The city's been cleaning it up. I see a lot more hippies. I see a lot more people riding bikes. It's more friendlier so I didn't expect for this to be one of my neighboring businesses," the man said to KVUE.

The Daily Star
---- — To Anna Marie Lusins, these jobs you speak of in your recent letter are one-year jobs in our area. One year — the projected time it will take to complete the pipeline. Then what? Oh, yes, I forgot — fracking.
The proposed pipe feed to Delhi sponsored by Leatherstocking, at a cost of $20-plus million (who is paying for that?), is entirely of PLASTIC. No welding jobs there. As for lack of real jobs, go read some back issues of The Daily Star. For more than 30 years, this has been a problem. It's not just Oneonta, it's a lot of small cities. I can't recall any instance where the lack of natural gas was an issue nor cause for the decline.
Manufacturing going overseas, maybe? How many are graduating from SUNY Oneonta and Hartwick? They are not flipping burgers, changing sheets, or waiting tables. They are out in the real world, holding real jobs (maybe not here) and paying taxes. They are living the American Dream.

Now, for some reason, I always have the urge to do cardio when I start weight training (not the same day, or anything). I was wondering...is it possible to get big while doing cardio and training at the same time? I really wanna swim since I like swimming and wanna get my swimming stronger for the summer (bodyboarding/surfing).
Also, I love those row machines they have at my gym. So, what do you think? Should I just bulk and lift for like 3-4 months then cut and start with the cardio then?
Peace Be With You.
You can do cardio and still get big. You should probably consider the cardio you are doing in your daily caloric intake though. Be aware that if you do a lot of cardio your body will make adaptations that are counterproductive to maximal strength gains. As to the second part of your question, I think it depends on where you are at right now and where you want to be by the beginning of summer.

Of course you can get big and do cardio.
Squats work better than supplements.
"You know, if I thought like that, I'd never put more than one plate on the bar for anything, I'd never use bands or chains, I'd never squat to parallel or below, and I'd never let out the slightest grunt when I lift. At some point in your lifting career (assuming you're planning on getting reasonably strong and big), you're going to have to accept that most people think you are some kind of freak." -Sensei
"You're wrong, and I have a completely irrelevant pubmed abstract that may or may not say so." - Belial
I has a blog.
I has a facebook.
I'm not trying to hijack the thread ( ), but I was about to post a similar question. I lost my motivation this winter, but I found it again by setting a specific goal: get down to a certain weight or waist size (whichever comes first). To acheive my goal, I developed the following routine:
Day 1: cardio (bike for 45-60 minutes, target heart rate 140-160).
Day 2: chest/upper back/shoulder/arms workout
Day 3: off
Day 4: cardio (see above)
Day 5: legs/lower back workout
Day 6: cardio
Day 7: off
I might swap 6 & 7 depending on how I feel, but bottom line is 3 days of good sweaty cardio with 2 days of hard sweaty weight training.
I'd like to see gains in size/strength, but as long as I don't lose either one (and I drop the weight/waist size) I'll be happy.
-Today a young man on acid realized that all matter is merely energy condensed to a slow vibration, that we are all one conciousness experiencing itself subjectively, there is no such thing as death, life is only a dream, and we are the imagination of ourselves. Here's Tom with the weather.-
You bet! (Just my opinion) I think my workout is not complete unless I do cardio too. I do weights first, and jog after -- 2 to 3 miles, according to how much I have left in my fuel tank by then.
This also seems to be the right thing according to something I've read recently having to do with your body not using the carbo's to store fat if you run after weights. I use to run first, then I'd do weights, because I thought that the weights would raise my blood pressure too much for running. But, now I find that I get much better from both if I do it weights first, then run.
There are probably thoughts on both sides of this issue?
the best strong muscles to have are a strong heart and lungs.
Chris Mason is my master.....
American cars are like fat people, sure, they have a lot of power, but they're not built well, and they have all that useless weight, plus they make both make funny noises.

I'm usually way too tired to do any running after a weight workout! Although when I was fat, I'd run for 20 minutes and weight train for ~1 hour after. That shredded the fat away!Originally posted by St. Velkro

"Test does a body good." - Severed Ties
Try to do all your cardio in the morning. If you think about, you just slept for approx 8 hours. All the food you ate previously, is now digested, used or stored or ready for waste. So when you do cardio, on an empty stomache, there are no calories left to burn, except for what you have stored. This allows you to directly burn stored fat, and won't affect your caloric intake. Meaning, throughout the rest of your day, all the food you eat will go directly to hypertrophy or muscle growth.
Please correct me if i am mistaken though...
I hope that's right, that's what I'm counting on. I could do cardio after my lifting, but instead do it on totally different days, first thing in the morning. And I'm frickin starving when I get home, so it better do some good.

-Paul Stagg
With regard to doing cardio on an empty stomach, I think it is best to consume some protein and perhaps a little EFA's 30-45 min prior to cardio. From what I undestand, your body is in an extremely catabolic state after fasting over night for 7-9 hrs. Though this is good for fat oxidation, it is bad for maintaining muscle. The low level of glycogen will promote the burning of fat, unfortunately protein will be converted as well. This will eat up hard earned muscle. By eating some peotein prior to the morning cardio, you still get the fat burn and the protein that is inevitabley burned will come from what you ingested, not your muscles. At least that's what I've picked up on in my reading.

Even on a sweltering 90 degree afternoon, the Bag Monster emerged at the County Center in Redwood City to promote the use of plastic bags. In a full body suit composed of 500 bags, he said he was pleased that the average person uses 500 plastic bags over the course of a year.
"Who else is going to clog the storm drains and smother marine life?" he said. "I must protest because [the county] is trying to stop my livelihood!"
Temporarily dropping the "Bag Monster" identity, Dean Peterson, the San Mateo County Director of Environmental Health, explained that the Board of Supervisors is looking into a proposed plastic bag ban.
The public comment period has closed on the draft environmental impact report and county staff will present its final report to the Planning Commission. If the report is approved, the Board of Supervisors will vote whether to approve it or not.
San Mateo County is trying to join the cities of San Jose and San Francisco in their similar plastic bag ordinances.
San Francisco passed the first law banning single use plastic bags in 2007 and 44 other California cities and over 24 others around the country have followed suit, according to the newspaper U-T San Diego.

Prince George's County Police and Laurel Police collected more than 150 guns Saturday during a buyback program in Laurel, The Washington Post reports.
Residents handed guns over to law enforcement officials in exchange for gift cards.
Though the program was planned before Friday's shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, CT, many of those that turned weapons over to police said they didn't want the firearms to fall into the wrong hands, according to the paper.
The massacre in Connecticut left 26 students and staff at the school dead, including 20 young children.
Two previous gun buyback events in Prince George's County have collected more than 300 guns, police said.

I hope we see more 10s on the board this week because that's where I've been at for 6 weeks. They have as good a 1-2-3-4 as anyone in baseball. CC is finally heating up, Andy is back, and Kuroda and BGDP are models of consistency.
Teix and Youk are just getting back in the swing of things. They'll come around. It's Robbie Cano I'm concerned with. He's in a contract year and should be hitting .320. He'll be hitting .260 soon if he doesn't come out of this funk. Hafner and Wells have cooled. I think they need to give Overbay more playing time even in these big AL West ballparks.
Didn't consistent Kuroda give up 4 runs last time out? Jus sayin
Haters will hate.
The only question for me about the rotation involves the #5 starter, Phil Hughes. If Michael Pineda does well in his rehab starts I would be looking for an NL West trade partner for Philbert. Phil said himself he loves pitching in big pitchers ballparks like Safeco. We might be able to get something for Phil before he walks in FA, and he will walk in FA.
Never too much pitching, Eddard.
I would guess that most fly-ball pitchers would prefer to pitch in bigger ballparks. If you can trade him for an "A" prospect do it. However, they would not get that prospect and he has more use for us as a pitchers.
What was it about hanging with the pack until May? It's June. We're still with the pack and still aren't at full health.
Also, look who's picking it up at AA. Look who had a good rehab start. We're starting to see what we hoped all along we'll see, and we've held our own thus far.
Yes, this was written right from the pool. The pool girl has a side-body-length tattoo. It looks good.
Hmmmm. How much of that full side-body-length tattoo is covered? (hoping to hear "None!")
I doubt that last statement.
Pics, or it never happened.
I remain at a 7. The team is performing well despite the lack of offense due to outstanding pitching. However, longer term (2-5 years out), I am a bit concerned. I certainly hope what we're seeing of Robbie recently is just a blip on the radar and not indicative of the beginnings of a decline. I'm also concerned about how next year's starting pitching & closer roles will addressed. It seems like there could be some issues, however it's also possible that the Brother's Stein open the purse strings and bring in some new talent long term.
Until I see what the longer term strategy seems to be, I'll remain cautiously optimistic.
The RailRiders roster page doesn't list Ronnier Mustelier anymore. It lists Cody Grice. WTF????
Scratch that…he was just added as an infielder. N/M
As much as I want to jump up and down over a 6-1 week, I am going to be the Debbie Downer here and remind you that Cleveland (yes, even the Fightin' Titos version) and Seattle are supposed to be teams you beat up on. I would be much more curious to see what they do as they go down the coast.
All this being said, its nice to see the Yankees beating teams they are supposed to again. The first encouraging draft in many years, general health starting to trickle back in to the system, and contributions from the farm on top of the scrap heap are all very encouraging this year.
My usual 9. They're in the mix. Would still be 4 out if they didn't overplay their pythag. Plus they have reinforcements coming without having to trade any pieces.
Longer term I can see the issues but look around the farms of the competition. Who is head and shoulders about. Add to that that TB can't keep their guys long term. Add to that that a good chunk of those will not reach their ceilings. How can I not still feel good. The NYY have as much high-end guys as some of them and they're proven the last few years that they know BP pieces. And some nice depth in case of injury.
I'm still at a 7. The pitching has been outstanding, but the offense still worries me. I don't think they can sit around and wait for Youk/Tex to get into form and Grandy/Jeter to get healthy. Eventually some of these 1 run wins will turn into 1 run losses. I'd be a lot more comfortable if they found another OF bat.
Back up to 7, my concern is the hitting. The pitching will hit patches of non dominating performances. This team can not hit with the better offensive clubs such as Detroit, Boston and Rangers. Teams which we'll have to get past in the playoffs. I believe this team can make the playoffs but I have a tough time believing it can compensate for a lack of dominate pitching. So I believe Cashman will have to do something to improve the offense until then I can not go higher with fan confidence rating.
On another note Youkilis played first and slid into the bag on a ground ball . Either he has to stop playing first base or stop sliding into first its the second time his back has caused him to miss games after this defensive move.
Youkilis can't move quickly. The pitchers (CC are you listening?)have to hustle to first base better. PFP for the win.
Pettitte was in position but Youkilis made the decision not to throw. If he's that brittle then he'll be on and off the bench with a sore back all season long.
I guess Bobby V. was right about one thing!
still a 6. Almost voted 7 for not fucking up the draft
There are 2 teams in Yankee history that have a similar runs scored/runs against and comparable success profile as the 2013 Yanks:
1970: 680/612; 93-69 (3rd best league record);(actual)
1974: 671/623; 89-73 (3rd best league record);(actual)
2013: 648/607; 95-67 (3rd best league record);(projected/63 games).
Of course, without the wild card, the 1970/1974 Yanks are lost in the obscurity of Yank teams that did not make the post-season. If these are reasonable comps, though, at least there is some kind of hopeful precedent that maintaining this run differential can still result in 90+ wins and, with the wild card, a post-season berth. Put me down for an 8 in that case.
7, where I've been for a while and can't imagine moving too far away from until post-asb.
Another 6-1 week will move to an eight regardless of when the stars return.
Like the upside of the Clarkin kid & it seems like the others were decent choices so that raises the score fractionaly for me. Add in Pineda tossing 95 and being effective.
Blue skies ahead, i believe.
Don't look now, but Chris Stewart is rocking a 91 wRC+.
Guys, a player is reaching his absolute offensive ceiling before our very eyes!
I'm at an 8, due to the issues in the corner OF spots. But Gardner has been hot, Tiex has given us power (even if the avg is bad), and the pitching has been amazing. We've gotten so much from Phelps and Nuno and Claiborne and Warren, it has to bouy your perception of the Yankee farm system.
Also, the draft and the improved performance of Depaula and Austin and Slade helps boost my long-term view of the team.
Judge will be my favorite prospect once he signs. A guy with that size and athleticism is very exciting.
Pulling for Nunez and Cisco to get back soon. I'm a sucker for homegrown players.
Soon Sanchez, Murphy, DePaula and possibly Austin and Ramirez will be among a few others promoted. I´m hoping they let DePaula skip high A ball. I have a good feeling about this kid Jagielo.
Current concerns over the lack of production from Cano, Wells, Youk and to a lesser extent Tex. Up until now Youk has been a total waste of 12 million. Wells and Cano 1 good month.
The entire pitching staff has been stellar.
Are we in general seeing less offense throughout MLB? It appears hitting is down and the pitching has improved. Softer baseballs, the pitching mounds a little higher, less PEDs ?
I´m at a 7.
Need more Overbay, less Wells & Adams…not sure how this happens though. Hopefully, they rest Youk', DH Teix and play Overbay a few games against some RHP's.
Hard to believe that Nix, Stew' and Ichiro are the mainstays that are getting productive runs.
Sure could use Grandy and park one of the corner OFers. Suppose little chance they demote Adams and bring up Musty or Neal (flavors of the month)
It may be a bit irrational considering they haven't even signed yet, but the drafting of three first round picks has made me more confident in the team. The farm system wasn't weak going into the year, but it's certainly had its struggles. Seeing some potentially huge talents come in makes the organization as a whole that much stronger. If nothing else, they added great trade chips to the mix and should be able to use them for something.
I'm up to an 8.
MLB club is winning, somehow, and with the reinforcements coming. Pineda's return might be a season-changer in the 2nd half and towards the 2014 budget.
I like the prospects in the pipeline, but selfishly wish the organization were more aggressive with their development.
I really liked the results of our 1st round of the draft. We have tangible prospects without major question marks, unlike recent memory (Hensley's arm, Culver and Bichette Jr.). It's crazy that 2 of the 3 already jump into the top 10 org. prospects right off the bat. That says a lot in both ways, ex. are they really that good, or what the hell have we been drafting/developing in past few years?
2 of the 3? Which one doesn't? Keith Law was saying all 3 would be in the middle of the top 10.
Clarkin. Seemed like the power bats pushed people down. Jagielo more towards very soon (2014-2015), Judge shortly thereafter. I think Clarkin would be in his top 15 though.
Here's his excerpt on Clarkin.
"Clarkin was inconsistent this spring in command, but his velocity was strong at year end and he would have gone in the teens had he performed better."
Still scary that this draft bumps kids from the last 2-3 drafts completely out of the top 15, and exciting at the same time.
8 on the pitching, 6.66666 on the hitting. Yup, broke-it down into 2 cats. Aint doin' the math for the average. Question for the group; if you're nyy, do you draw a line in the sand regarding cano ? If you deem him "un-signable", what do you do ? Trade him, or let him play out the year (pujols/cardinals) ? Hope that teams come to their collective senses regarding these insane contracts, and cano's team comes back to negotiate with nyy ?
The Cardinals won a World Series letting him play out the year and have been more than fine since then.
This isn't even a question. You keep him.
I think a lot will depend on what the Yankees think they have over the next 3 or 4 years of his contract. More than any other time in the last 20yrs the Yankees look like they have some rebuilding to do. With Cano's level of play being assumed to diminish after 3 or 4 years, is it worth paying him with what the Yankees can expect from their team during his prime production years of the contract. I would sign him to a 6yr deal, anything more and I have to let him walk. Just cant sign a guy at his age to 7-10yrs post steroid era. Between the Arod and Puljos deals the Yankees have had to learn something about singing guys over the age of 30 to very long term deals, and just how fast they can go bad. Even Tex, had the Yankees signed him 2 years later, imagine what a disaster that contract would have been…The Yankees got what they paid for until tex got to the wrong side of 30.
Red Sox DFA Pedro Ciriaco
Confidence rises to a 10.
Yankees drafted 2 Appalachian State players. If they can sign them both, I'm a 10 for quite some time…
I remain at a 6. I still think the odds are long of this offense holding up for 162 games and the Yankees making the playoffs. This is a horrendous offense and I don't think its going to get much better because the guys they need to come back the most Jeter and Arod may not make it back and if they do we have absolutely no idea what they will have left.
With the Yankees needing to completely rebuild their offense while reducing payroll next year, as well as the questions of Petite and Kuroda returning, next year and the Year after could be rough as there doesn't seem to be anyone in the system right now ready to step up and help the big team offensively. Pineda coming back healthy and dominant seems like almost a necessity at this point so the Yankees don't have to sink money into the pitching staff.
Still no offense. I find a 2-1 or 3-1 game to be enticing, I love a pitchers duel. But they are a little nerve racking, and they can't keep this up. They need to figure out how to score runs, without throwing away outs by bunting.

Florida Snook Population Have Taken a Hit
Author: Trouts Staff
The latest news and noteworthy happenings from across this wonderful industry we call FLY FISHING
This came off the website for of the Bonefish and Tarpon Trust regarding the recent fish kill in Florida that resulted from the extreme cold in early January.
"The severe cold that gripped Florida in early January resulted in high levels of fish mortality. Snook appear to have been hardest hit, but bonefish and tarpon were killed as well. In response, on January 15, 2010, Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission closed harvest on these three species. Catch and Release fishing is still allowed. And there is a silver lining in this cloud.
The cold weather in Florida has caused mortalities of numerous coastal gamefishes. The night temperature reached down to freezing along coastal areas in the central and southern part of the state three or four nights in a row. Reports of dead bonefish came from in the Upper Keys and scattered reports of small tarpon statewide. The FWC has closed these fisheries to harvest even though few tarpon are kept, and the limit on bonefish is only one per person per day (yes, some are still harvested in South Florida). Catch and release fishing for these species is still allowed. The FWC is taking this proactive, precautionary approach to ensure the long-term health of the fisheries. As temperatures warm, guides and anglers are finding hungry fish coming in from deeper waters.

Weekend watch: 2 ways to mark this SF moment in the Mission [UPDATED]
As of late, it seems as though the cries of anti-displacement activists and small business owners threatened with dramatic address changes have penetrated the city's consciousness: San Francisco has woken up to the fact that the town is changing, and how. But amid the smashing of Google bus piñatas and -- albeit hilarious -- echo chamber of bloggers placing and sloughing off blame from the young tech royalty, there are community-based, heartfelt attempts being made at contextualizing soaring rents and shifting cultural majorities.
There's two happening in the Mission, in fact. Regardless of your programming aptitude or discretionary budget, they'll both provide moments to learn about where San Francisco is coming from, and a moment to reflect on where it's going.
"La Llorona: A Public Lament on Ellis Act Evictions in the Mission"
A march to remember the working-class neighborhood that was, this processional open to all comers starts at a Mission home called the "Secret Garden" (coincidentally, hosting both events in this post) with a prayer by Jorge Molina and winds up at Adobe Books' new location (3130 24th St., SF), where the bookshop is hosting "Layers of History: 40 Years of Resistance" curated by SF historian Chris Carlsson and artist Paz de la Calzada. "La Llorona" will be led by neighborhood chronicler Adriana Camarena. Check out this 2010 Mission Mission interview to read about her passion for the stories of the 'hood.
UPDATE: The event is part of MAPP's Sat/1 takeover of 20 businesses and other spaces in the Mission. More on that here
Here's how author Benjamin Bac Sierra -- who grew up on these streets in a much different time -- summed up the event in his post on our Facebook page:
Every moment is an exact time. This is our time, one of our last opportunities to cry our voices out to the streets we always thought would be ours. Homeboys and Homegirls, this Saturday at 7:00 p.m. we need you to walk the Mission streets with us and cry out our emotions over all la gente that are being evicted and expelled from our San Francisco Mission district, from all of San Francisco itself. Why does this matter? Won't they have cheaper, perhaps even bigger homes out in Modesto, Concord, San Quentin, or the Colma cemetery?! Gente, as we lose ground in international San Fran, we lose the opportunity of world class resources, education, economic opportunities, and cultural identity. Meditate on this: San Fran is the most powerful capital of class, business, and arts on the entire west coast. Are not brown grassroots people allowed into the doors of opportunity? Don't just like this posting. Come out in full force with your homeboys, homegirls, and grandmas this Saturday, June 1 at 7:00 p.m. starting at 2710 Harrison and 23rd street. We need you; the gente need you for the future and for hope. Always your homeboy in amor!
Sat/1, 7-10pm, free
Starts at Secret Garden
2710 Harrison, SF
"Born n Raised in Frisco"
Over the past year and a half, POOR Magazine has sat down with 45 adults and 10 younger people, all born right here in the land of the Ohlones, to get their thoughts on displacement and fighting to stay in the city they grew up in in six-week cycles of creative storytelling classes. Today, in the sunny backyard of the Secret Garden, they'll celebrate the publication of those conversations. Come check out the compilation, plus plant seeds, eat food, and help raise money for POOR's Al Robles Living Library -- an assemblage of works by working class people that is housed in the magazine's headquarters.
Sun/2, 3pm, $1-10 donation suggested
Secret Garden
2170 Harrison, SF
UPDATE: Muralist Juana Alicia (whose mural "La Llorona" features in the image on this post) clarifies that the piece is a comment on the struggle for human rights. She also added, in the comments below:
I myself was evicted from the Mission, and moved to the East Bay 18 years ago because I could no longer afford to live in my neighborhood, the one I had worked so much to humanize and adorn. But our daughter, Lucia Ippolito, has just created a fantastic new mural on Balmy Alley: a witty and animated lampoon at gentrification and police brutality. Entitled "Mission Makeover", it is an eloquent stitching together of many issues, like original sin, from the Garden of Eden to Wall Street. Please check out the "Mission Makeover" while accompanying Jorge Molina on his sacred pilgrimage.
My Llorona's Sacred Waters addresses the issues facing local Latin@s and the global south, in terms of human and ecological rights. I myself was evicted from the Mission, and moved to the East Bay 18 years ago because I could no longer afford to live in my neighborhood, the one I had worked so much to humanize and adorn.

Entitled "Mission Makeover", it is an eloquent stitching together of many issues, like original sin, from the Garden of Eden to Wall Street. Please check out the "Mission Makeover" while accompanying Jorge Molina on his sacred pilgrimage.
Thank you for your clarification and update Juana, I'll add the information to the post above
Just posted another comment, as I thought the first one was erased. Can I send you some photos of Lucia's mural?

Local Protest, Global Movements:
Capital, Community, and State in San Francisco
with author Karl Beitel
A history of the antigentrification and housing rights movement in San Francisco, Local Protest, Global Movements examines the ability of local urban movements to engage in meaningful contestation with private real estate capital and area governmental leaders in the era of urban neoliberalism.
"Local Protest, Global Movements is a well-written analysis of recent developments in the nation's most interesting city, offered from a progressive perspective and enhanced by case studies. This book focuses attention on the larger historical/political/global context, state–civil society relations, the role of protest and urban social justice movements, and citizen participation—providing lessons for cities well beyond San Francisco." —Chester Hartman, Director of Research, Poverty & Race Research Action Council, author of City for Sale: The Transformation of San Francisco
We are committed to listing things like this in the paper as well -- whenever possible give us a shout a few weeks in advance on political calls to action at email@example.com

Clarkstown has been looking into consolidating mechanics Town Garage department for some time now and at Tuesday night's town board meeting, they set a public hearing to get the ball rolling.
The public hearing was set for June 19 to discuss a proposed local law that would allow this consolidation. The law would transfer the function of the Highway Department mechanics and consolidate all town mechanics under the Town Garage Department.
This consolidation will streamline vehicle maintenance and services.
Under the Town Garage Department, the mechanics would repair service and maintain town vehicles and equipment used by the Highway department, all police vehicles, municipal transportation vehicles and other town vehicles.
The local law will also not usurp or diminish Highway Superintendent Wayne Ballard's duties or authority, according to the town.

Economists: Immigrants Actually Boost Wages
Contrary to the idea that immigrants take jobs from Americans, foreign-born workers can boost wages across the board.
With lawmakers finally coming together to talk about immigration reform, the debate over who exactly should be allowed into the country is heating up. One of the most common arguments in this debate is that immigrants hurt native-born American workers. But economic research shows that immigration may in fact boost the paychecks of U.S.-born workers.
The argument seems to fly in the face of economics 101: a greater supply of labor shouldn't raise the price of labor. But not all workers are created equal, so when foreign-born workers fill particular spots in the labor market where there is a necessity for work, it frees up U.S.-born workers to take other positions.
"Immigrant workers are not merely substitutes but rather they have a set of skills that allow them to complement native-born Americans. It allows native-born Americans to be more productive at their jobs," says Michael Greenstone, director of the Hamilton Project, a division of the Brookings Institution that studies economic policy.
[READ: Illegal Immigration Foes Despair Over GOP Moves]
If a foreign worker is a taxi driver, then, it can free up a U.S.-born worker to be the taxi dispatcher, Greenstone says. The immigrant construction worker frees up another worker to be the site supervisor. However, the argument carries over to the high-skilled end of the spectrum, as well.
"Imagine you have a biologist, and he has a kind of knowledge that is pretty unusual in the U.S. labor force where employers find it really difficult to find someone with a particular set of skills. He might actually complement other workers who work together on a specific project," says Madeleine Sumption, a senior policy analyst at the Migration Policy Institute, a D.C.-based think tank.
In a 2010 policy memo, Greenstone and his Hamilton Project colleague, Adam Looney, used a chart to show the effects of immigration on wages.
(Source: The Hamilton Project)
The chart shows two different recent studies' conclusions on the matter. In both cases, as the far-right columns show, economists found that immigration provides a slight boost to U.S.-born workers' pay, on average.
The breakdown of where those wage benefits land shows that the wage effects of immigration are uneven, and academics dispute exactly how sizable those effects are at all parts of the spectrum.

"It tends to be the case that it's the people at the higher end of the labor market who gain a lot and people at the low end are largely unaffected and they may lose out in some cases," says Sumption. That is because, at the low-skilled end of the spectrum, foreign-born workers may be more likely to displace low-skilled native-born workers than other workers, says Sumption. Still, that substitution may be very small in many cases. A 2008 study, for example, estimated that one immigrant farm worker in California, for example, displaced only 0.0123 domestic workers and significantly boosted production.
Still, there are other economic benefits that come alongside a boost in wages. A larger supply of ready and willing workers may inspire a retail or store or restaurant to open more outlets, potentially boosting economic output overall. And when immigrants do low-skilled jobs like child-care or gardening, it lowers the cost of those jobs, providing a standard of living boost, says Greenstone. That sounds like a cold reality—cheap immigrant labor boosts standards of living—but this is the very foundation of particular industries.

"I think the way to think of it is no one wants to do those jobs," he says. "So I think the alternative is that they just don't happen. In some industries it seems that those industries actually would not exist without immigrant labor."
Indeed, some experts argue that American agriculture would face devastating consequences without immigrant workers.
Still, it is worth noting that the wage effects of immigration appear to be relatively small—less than 1 percent in both studies cited above. For a worker making $50,000 a year, that's less than $500.

A man arrested for trying to retrieve his backpack as police worked to clear Occupy Lincoln protesters last spring has been found not guilty of failing to comply with a lawful order.
A Lancaster County judge found 22-year-old Jeffrey Eggerss of Lincoln not guilty.
Eggerss was charged with the misdemeanor after police ushered him and two others off of Centennial Mall on May 2nd. Eggerss says an officer told him to leave the area in which he was standing. He says when he went to pick up a backpack filled with water and snacks, he was arrested.
The judge ruled that he could not find beyond a reasonable doubt that Eggerss had refused to comply with a lawful order.
