Massachusetts would see more than $91 million in federal funds cut from a myriad of programs if Congress fails to act this week to avoid the sequester, the Obama Administration said Sunday.
In a move designed to pressure Republicans into accepting new taxes on the wealthy as part of a deal to prevent the sequester from taking effect on Friday, the White House released reports that outlined how those cuts would impact individual states, The Huffington Post reported.
Here are some examples of what's on the chopping block for us here in Massachusetts, according to the report:
- Military: Some 7,000 civilian Department of Defense employees would be furloughed, reducing pay by around $43.4 million. Army base operation funding in the state would be cut by about $8 million, Air Force operations by about $5 million
- Teachers and Schools: Some $13.9 million in primary and secondary education funding would be cut, putting around 190 teacher and aide jobs at risk; about 20,000 fewer students would be served and some 60 fewer schools would get funding, according to the administration. Also, Massachusetts would lose some $13.4 million to pay for about 160 teachers, aides, and staff who help children with disabilities
- Protections for Clean Air and Clean Water: About $4 million in environmental funding to ensure clean water and air quality, and to prevent pollution from pesticides and hazardous waste. The Bay State could also lose another $472,000 in grants for fish and wildlife protection
- Public Health: About $625,000 in funds to respond to infectious diseases, natural disasters, and biological, chemical, nuclear, and radiological event threats. Also, $1.7 million for preventing and treating substance abuse, resulting in around 5,200 fewer admissions to programs. And about $367,000 in cuts that mean 9,200 fewer HIV tests
- Job Search Help: About $787,000 in funding, meaning 27,000 fewer people would get help finding work, according to the administration
- Nutrition Assistance for Seniors: About $535,000 for senior meal programs
- Vaccines for Children: Almost 3,000 fewer children would get measles, mumps, rubella, tetanus, whooping cough, influenza, and Hepatitis B vaccinations to save about $201,000
- STOP Violence Against Women Program: Up to $140,000 for services to victims of domestic violence, resulting in up to 500 fewer victims being served
- Child Care: Up to 500 disadvantaged and vulnerable children could lose access to child care, which is also essential for working parents to hold down a job. No estimate of funding cut size
- Head Start: Services would be eliminated for about 1,100 Massachusetts children. No estimate of funding cut size
After the reports were released, congressional Republicans criticized the Obama administration for the PR move, The Huffington Post reported.
"Rather than issuing last-minute press releases on cuts to first responders or troop training or airport security, he should propose smarter ways to cut Washington spending. After all, Washington spending, even with the sequester, is bigger than it was when he got here," Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) said.
Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick, on NBC's "Meet the Press" Sunday morning disagreed with Republicans who blame the president for failing to lead.
This notion about not having leadership, this is about leadership. And, the President has shown that a balanced approach, which is about cuts and closing loopholes that enables us to invest in things and grow jobs, is more important and appropriate for us at this time.
Unless Congress intervenes, the law requires the Obama Administration to impose $85 billion in across-the-board spending cuts to military and domestic programs on Friday, according to The New York Times. Those cuts would be the start of $1 trillion in cuts over the coming decade.
Fox News quotes reports that Republicans are working on a bill this week that would grant the White House more leeway to target the cuts in a more responsible, less meat-cleaver-type way.

WILMETTE-KENILWORTH, IL -- A 44-year-old Arlington Heights woman was sentenced Friday to four years in prison for stealing jewelry from a Northfield Township family whose homes she was working in as a caregiver, according to Cook County Sheriff Thomas J. Dart.
Krisann Henderson was sentenced in Skokie Friday after pleading guilty in December to one count of residential burglary and one count of theft over $500, according to a release from the Sheriff's office. She also pleaded guilty in a Rolling Meadows court to two of the same count for thefts from an Arlington Heights home and a Schaumburg home. She was sentenced in those crimes to two years in prison and will serve the terms concurrently.
In total, she stole $25,000 worth of jewelry, the release says, all from mentally ill or physically impaired clients. The stolen items include a 35-karat aqua marine stone broach, 10-karat gold tennis bracelet with 35 round diamonds and a pearl necklace.
The case started a year ago when a Northfield Township man told sheriff's police that some of his wife's jewelry was missing, the press release explains. He couldn't give further details because his wife was in the hospital.
Several months later, she called investigators and gave them the name of the company that provided her in-home care. The company gave investigators a list of caregivers who had worked for the couple, and they learned that Henderson was a customer at an Arlington Heights pawn shop for the past four years and had pawned several items after the Northfield Township theft, the release says.
Investigators then discovered the other two thefts. She pleaded guilty to all three last month.
According to the sheriff's office's press release, when the judge asked Henderson if she wished to say anything to the court before her sentencing, she replied, "I am very sorry for what I did."

The Lady Bulldogs opened division play on a strong note, posting their third straight shutout of the season, defeating Tishomingo County, 5-0, on Saturday.
New Albany built a 4-0 lead in the first half, starting with a goal by Hannah Anderson, assisted by Martha Alef. Alef would later assist Morgan Odle on her goal, and Randi Stevens and Estefany Fernandez rounded out the half with their scores, assisted by Brittany Ellett and Shannon Goode.
Odle is one of several young players that has stepped up, particularly in this win streak, as the eighth grader has scored in her last three outings, one junior varsity and two varsity matches.
"Morgan has never played soccer before this year, and she has now scored in the last three games," NAHS head coach Les Huntington said.
"She's fast and she has a knack for being in the right place at the right time."
Defensively, the third shutout shows signs of a strengthening defense for Huntington's squad.
"It shows that our defense is coming together, and with goal keeping, this game gave me the opportunity to play our backup goalkeepers playing experience," he said.
"When I put them in, I felt as comfortable then as I am with Summer Sanderson."
New Albany's final match of 2010 will take place this Friday, as the team will travel to North Pontotoc. When play resumes in January, NAHS will face South Pontotoc and Pontotoc in their first week.
"Our last game before the Christmas break will be against another division rival, and it's important for us if we want to go back to the playoffs like we did last year," Huntington said.
"We feel very confident that we can make the playoffs, and if we can put it together, maybe we'll have a shot at winning the division."
New Albany 9 Tishomingo County 0 (boys)
The Bulldogs earned a win in a rain-shortened match against Tishomingo County on Saturday.
New Albany went to the half up 6-0 and scored three more goals before the game was called due to inclement weather.
The Bulldogs will close the semester on the road at North Pontotoc this Friday night.

Is it possible that the human condition can be explained simply by examining the contents of our T-shirt drawers?
In my T-shirt drawer, I have at least 40 shirts. Shirts from places we traveled to, shirts from places other people have traveled to, shirts from places that serve food and places that make food, and shirts that have food spilled on them.
Lots and lots and lots of T-shirts crammed into one dresser drawer.
Of all those shirts, I wear about five of them.
The same thing goes for the collection of the other clothing that hangs in my closet. I manage to grab the same favorite threads work week in and work week out.
The same managerial plan goes with the coat closet and the box of golf hats that are on the top shelf in there. Plenty to chose from, but only a couple of favorites ever see the light of day.
So why not get rid of those that I keep in the reserves?
No way! I love that "Ron Jon Surf Shop" T-shirt and the one I got when I ran a 5K and the one they gave me when I gave blood and the one I got for volunteering at ... Just wait, I will wear them again … someday … probably.
Every unworn shirt has a story silk-screened across it. They're not just shirts; they're an ongoing road map of life. My very own 50-percent-cotton, extra-large commemoration of the path my life has taken.
Now, juxtapose this humble T-shirt drawer against the management of my life.
The average pizza restaurant offers about 30 toppings from anchovies to zucchini, yet I order the same ham and pineapple pizza nearly every single time. Occasionally, I'll get something different, but yeah, there's probably room for a 16-inch Hawaiian pizza in my T-shirt drawer … of life.

If one thing seemed clear after Tuesday's presidential debate, it was that Mitt Romney had been caught in an embarrassing error over whether President Obama had referred to the Sept. 11 attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya, as an act of terror. But Romney supporters are insisting that Romney was right after all.

The Tonawanda News
Tonawanda News — Recovery from a Sunday morning flood has commenced at the former Summit Park Mall in Wheatfield.
Owner Jim Anthony, of Raleigh, N.C.-based Oberlin Plaza One, said the damage, though widespread, wasn't as costly as original estimates pegged it at.
"Loss numbers like $500,000 or $1 million might help sell newspapers, but to me, they're just not correct," he said by telephone Monday evening. "We have to replace the sprinkler system ... and we're going to clean out the mall and take up the carpets that are water logged. But that's the extent of the damage. It's really a nonissue. I hate to tear up good carpets and throw them away, but we're working with a prospective buyer and he wouldn't want them anyway."
Anthony said the company he's working with was notified of the flooding and it has no effect on the negotiations to sell the mall, which was closed – with the exception of Sears, Bon-Ton and Save-A-Lot – in 2009.
Though details about the possible sale, including what this new owner has in mind for the property, weren't available, Anthony said it's been difficult
selling the property because of its size. He said the property was set to be sold in 2002 but a contract failed.
Then, 2009 brought the bankruptcy of Steve & Barry's, a major revenue loss to the mall, which spiraled Anthony to close all but the three remaining stores on the property.
"We've been under contract a couple times, but nothing's come of it yet," he said. "It's so hard to find the right match for a property that's so big and requires so much money be put into it."
Sunday's flood was caused when three water valves near a roof hatch froze and burst following last week's deep freeze. Property manager Fred Huff said cleanup would likely take the rest of the week and wouldn't affect any of the mall's three tenants.
He said it appears someone unauthorized entered the property and left the hatch open prior to the freeze. Though nothing was reported missing from the property, Huff said it was likely an attempted theft where the person found steel pipes instead of copper and left without anything of value.
But whoever did it left without closing the hatch and the damage was done.
"There's nothing that appears to be stolen," he said. "When I originally entered the property Sunday, I checked around everywhere. They're steel pipes, not copper. So whoever did it may have broken in, seen it was a dead end and left the hatch open."
As for the functioning tenants, management at Bon-Ton refused to comment on the matter because the flooding didn't damage the store at all. Employees said the store had no issues with water pressure. Management at Sears didn't return requests for comment.

The 2013 Twins in the land where ifs and buts really ARE candy and nuts
by, 08-09-2012 at 01:17 AM (1178 Views)
Morneau gets traded during the offseason for a starting pitching prospect knocking on the major league door.
Parmelee can continue his success in AAA throughout the rest of season.
not if that success doesn't translate into a strong September call-up.
Willingham shifts his bat to the DH role more often following the All-Star break.
Arcia/Hicks advance to AAA and still produce at the same level and deserve a call-up.
also assuming a shift to primarily first base for Mauer.
The rotation consists of: Diamond, Pavano, Walters, Gibson, Hendriks.
Gibson can continue his successful rehab this season AND if Hendriks can finally find his footing against major league hitters.
Dump Pavano if a "cheap, impact" starting pitcher can be acquired in free agency
That's all i've got for now. There are so many more ifs and buts to be addressed but i think this covers the major three that have been floating around in my head for the past month or so. Anybody have any of their own to add?

UPDATE (5:51 p.m. Friday, Sept. 28)
Minneaplis Police had reported earlier that Engeldinger returned to the workplace in the afternoon after being fired the morning of Sept. 27. Police now say the earlier reports were incorrect and Engeldinger was brought into the front office at the end of the work day to be terminated and then took out the weapon and began shooting in the office.
UPDATE (4:30 p.m. Friday, Sept. 28) - Minneapolis Police and staff at Hennepin County Medical Center have confirmed a sixth victim in the shooting at Accent Signage Systems has died.
The victim's name has not been released.
More information on the five people kiled by Andrew Engeldinger Thursday afternoon is expected soon.
Engeldinger, who shot and killed himself to end the rampage, was terminated from his job Thursday morning.
UPDATE (2:38 p.m. Friday, Sept. 28) - Minneapolis Police Chief Tim Dolan confirmed that the shooter was Andrew Engeldinger of Minneapolis, and that the man had been released from his job earlier that day.
"Other than that, there's not much on him," Dolan told local and national media outside of the crime scene Friday afternoon. "
Dolan also confirmed the two victims named by local media in initial reports: owner Reuven Rahamim, 61 and local UPS driver Keith Basinski, 50.
Dolan and Minneapolis Mayor R.T. Rybak held a press conference to brief the media on the latest information in the case.
The scene was "hellish," Dolan said, when Minneapolis Police arrived, with assistance from surrounding communities. Hennepin County also arrived, with minutes of the initial 911 emergency calls, which Dolan confirmed came from inside the building.
The entire incident took about 10 to 15 minutes, he added.
"With the information that we have, it couldn't have lasted much longer than that," he said.
Engeldinger gained access to the building via a loading dock, and was "selective" about who he shot and where.
"It's clear he passed people by," Dolan said.
The chief also confirmed that Engeldinger was met with resistence from an employee, but did not elaborate.
A search today of the shooter's home revealed packaging for more than 10,000 rounds of ammunition. He had one handgun in the home, which was not identified. A Glock 9mm semi-automatic handgun was found at the scene. A 9mm shell casing was found near Engeldinger, who had shot himself.
Dolan confirmed that the three vicitims still hospitalized all suffered "critical" wounds.
"Our thoughts and prayers are certainly with those people," he said.
He also said three Minneapolis Police officers are now on paid administrative leave, a practice used when officers are in a traumatic sitauation.
Mayor Rybak said a fund for the victicms has been set up via Wells Fargo Banks throughout the metro area. Neighbors to Accent Signage were players in helping start the fund, he said.
"These people around this business and in the neighborhood have been amazing. They're hoping to move on as you continue your coverage elsewhere," Rybak said.
The Twin Cities area is "shocked" after a authorities suspect a Minneapolis man entered his former place of employment and opened fire, killing four people before fleeing to a warehouse and turning the gun on himself.
The shooting took place in Minneapolis' Bryn Mawr neighborhood at Accent Signage Systems, located at 2322 Chestnut Ave. W. in Minneapolis.
Police and media officials have said the suspected shooter is believed to be a 36-year-old former employee, Andrew J. Engeldinger, 36, of Minneapolis.
The man's identity will be confirmed by the Hennepin County Medical Examiner's office soon.
Among the four people who were killed was Accent Signage owner and founder Reuven Rahamim, 61, a resident of St. Louis Park and respected member of both his community and faith. Rahamim's death was confirmed by his son-in-law and by several friends.
Rahamim was visited by U.S. Under Secretary of Commerce Francisco Sanchez in August, according to Finance and Commerce magazine.
St. Louis Park Patch reports Rahamim was seen as a visionary in his field.
Steve Hunegs, executive director of the Jewish Community Relations Council of Minnesota and the Dakotas, called Rahamim a "local and beloved Jewish community member" in a statement.
"Reuven was a wonderful family man and deeply committed to his synagogue, community, country, and native Israel," Hunegs wrote.
Keith Basinski, 50, was the second of four victims identified who police say was shot dead by Engeldinger.
Basinski was a driver for United Parcel Service. His truck, strung with police tape outside the Access Signage building, was visible in video from news helicopters.
Jill Schubert, UPS Northern Plains District president, said in a statement:
"We are profoundly shocked and saddened over this tragic event involving our driver, Keith Basinski. Our deepest sympathies go out to his family and the families of the other victims. We also pray for the full recovery of others injured in the shooting. Keith had been a part of our UPS family for 29 years and we are going to miss him very much."
John Souter, Accent's director of operations, is now in serious condition, upgraded from critical, at Hennepin County Medical Center, a hospital spokeswoman told media outlets Friday morning. Another victim ID'd, production manager Eric Rivers, remains in critical condition, the hospital's representative stated.

The boon of Big Data is colliding with a hardening consumer attitude and potentially tougher regulations. So what is a business to do?
Opportunity lies in making privacy, and trust, a strategic priority.
What distinguishes risk-resilient organisations, and what can we learn from them?
Here are 10 best practices, from the World Economic Forum's Leading Practices Exchange framework on risk resilience.
While the results of our latest Global CEO Survey point to careful optimism about global economic growth, the jury's still out when it comes to their own long-term prospects.
Resilience may depend on how well you manage three huge looming shifts — in technology, people, and consumers.
Global economic, social and environmental systems are under stress. So how to build resilience into all three systems at once?
You can start by focussing on 'good growth' — what it means and how to measure it.
Companies' supply chains have been rocked by several disruptions of late. And that trend is likely to continue.
In this Q&A, PwC's Joseph Roussel discusses why supply chains have become increasingly vulnerable, and offers tips on how companies can manage this critical strategic asset for resilience.
Risk management, strategy and sustainability all need to come together to "imagine the possible."
Focusing on business resilience will help your people speak the same language — and embrace the possibility of attaining an upside, not simply avoiding a downside.
Explore our library of thought-provoking insights—written by thought leaders at PwC and in academia, and organised around breaking themes—on one of today's most critical strategic issues.
The changing consumer: An ever-more elusive target
A company's existence depends on them: but how deeply do CEOs understand the shifting priorities and perceptions of their customers, across cultures and geographies?
The promise, peril and real payback of Big Data
Companies are grappling with the multitude of privacy regulations, self-regulation policies, and consumer expectations placed on them to protect consumer data privacy. Mishandling your consumers' personal data risks damaging your reputation as well as your bottom line. No wonder companies are uncertain about where the Big Data opportunities and risks lie. The solution is to view the issue strategically — not just through just a compliance lens but also through a lens of opportunity and trust.
Are you ready for tomorrow's workforce?
It's harder than ever for CEOs to find and keep the right people in the right place at the right time. Yet only 6 in 10 have taken tangible steps in the war for tomorrow's talent.
The R!SE Initiative: Disaster Risk-Sensitive Investments
Instead of creating shared risks, public and private sector investment should focus on creating shared value. That's why PwC and UNISDR started the R!SE Initiative.
Are there lessons to be learned for businesses from the stunning Brazil-Germany 2014 World Cup semi-final match? Yes, and far more than you might imagine.

Colts (0-7) @ Titans (3-3)-- Both teams coming off horrific losses, Colts losing 62-7 in Superdome, Titans 41-7 at home to Texans in whats was game to decide first place in AFC South. Indy won last five series games (30-28/23-20 LY); the average total in last three meetings is 48.3. Colts are 1-3 as road dogs, losing on foreign soil by 27-7-7-10 points; they've been outscored 73-17 in second half of last four games. Tennessee is 0-2 as favorite this year, 6-9-1 in last 16 games as home favorite; they allowed 14 or less points in their wins (by 13-3-18 points), 16-38-41 in losses. Underdogs are 0-3 vs spread week after playing the Saints. Over is 5-1 in Indy's last six games, 4-1 in Titans' last five.
Jaguars (2-5) @ Texans (4-3)-- Jaguars played their hearts out in 12-7 win over Baltimore Monday night; at one point this season, they were 0-5 vs spread and trailed 17-3 at half in the sixth game at Pittsburgh, then outscored Steelers 10-0 in second half, so they've only allowed seven points in last six quarters of play. Texans allowed 13 or less points in their four wins, 40-25-29 in losses- they're 5-3 in last eight games as home favorite. Home team won eight of last ten series games; Jags lost five of last seven visits here, with all five losses by 13+ points; over last 7+ years, they're 20-11-1 in last 32 games as a road dog. Under is 6-1 in Jacksonville games, 5-2 in Houston games.
Vikings (1-6) @ Panthers (2-5)-- Minnesota led five of seven games at halftime, but they've been outscored 120-39 in second half this year; Vikings are 1-5 vs spread as pre-bye underdog, 6-9-1 in last 16 games as dog overall. Panthers are 2-0 as favorite this year, only two games they've won (covered five of last six). Vikings allowed 39-33 pts in last two games; Arizona is only team they held under 22 points, and are only team Vikings beat. Underdogs are 0-2 vs spread the week after playing Green Bay. NFC South home favorites are 5-2 vs spread in non-divisional games; NFC North teams are 4-1 as underdogs, 3-1 away from home. Over is 5-2 in Carolina games, 4-2 in last six Viking games.
Saints (5-2) @ Rams (0-6)-- This could be ugly, with red-hot Saints coming off of 62-7 win, Rams missing QB Bradford for second week in row, and 1,000's of Saint fans likely to make trip to St Louis to root on their team. Rams are 0-6 vs spread this year, getting outscored 103-16 in first half of last five games, losing home games 31-13/37-7/17-10- they're crippled at CB, bad thing to be against a pass-happy Saint squad that won five of last six games but is just 1-3 vs spread on road, beating Carolina 30-27/Jaguars 23-10. Last three St Louis games stayed under the total. NFC West home underdogs are 1-5-1 vs spread in non-league games. NFC South non-divisional favorites are 6-4, 1-2 on foreign soil.
Cardinals (1-5) @ Ravens (4-2)-- Baltimore has amazing 33-8-1 record as home favorite vs non-divisional opponents, but ton of pressure on their offense after a hideous showing on Monday in Jacksonville. Ravens are a bully team; all four of their wins this year are by 15+ points- they're 3-0 as home fave this season. Arizona lost its last five games, last two by 34-10/32-20 scores after three real close losses- they're 2-8 as a road dog since Warner retired. Ravens are 10-7 vs spread in game following their last 17 losses; former Cardinal WR Boldin meets up with his old team here. All three Arizona road games stayed under the total. NFC West non-divisional underdogs are 6-11-2, 5-6-1 on the road.
Dolphins (0-6) @ NJ Giants (4-2)-- Second trip to Swamp in last three weeks for Miami, which is 1-2 as road dog, losing by 1-10-18 points- they're winless, but Fish lost two games (Browns/Broncos) in last minute- last week they were the first team since '70 49ers to lose a game they led by 15+ points with 3:00 to play. Hideous home loss to Seattle in Week 5 shows you can't trust Giant club that is 6-11-1 in last 18 games as home favorite- they allowed 27-36-24 points in last three games, but Big Blue won last three post-bye games, scoring 44-34-41 points. NFC East home favorites are 2-5 vs spread in non-divisional games; AFC East road underdogs are 3-2 against the spread.
Redskins (3-3) vs Bills (4-2) (@ Toronto)-- Buffalo is 5-0 in series since losing Super Bowl 26 to Washington, with four of five wins by 14+ points; this game is in Rogers Centre in Toronto, so no home field edge for Bills' squad that is 3-0 in Orchard Park this year, scoring 38-34-31 points. Washington lost both games since its bye, turning ball over seven times (-5) on 21 drives; they're 1-2 on road scoring 17.7 ppg, with only win at winless Rams. Teams are 2-4 SU week after playing Carolina. NFC East teams are 5-3-1 vs spread in non-divisional games this season. Five of six Buffalo games went over total; four of last five Redskin games stayed under.
Lions (4-3) @ Broncos (2-4)-- Home team won six of eight series games; Lions lost last three visits here- their only win in Denver was in 1971. It snowed this week in Denver, so weather could be an issue. Detroit lost its last eight pre-bye games, covering once in last seven; league-wide this year, pre-bye favorites are 4-1. Tebow makes Broncos funky team; they completed less than 50% of their passes in last two games, but they ran ball for 162-183 yards. NFC North clubs are 5-3 vs spread in non-divisional road games, 2-2 when favored; AFC West home dogs are 2-1. Over is 5-0 in games involving teams that played Miami the week before; last three Detroit games stayed under.
Patriots (5-1) @ Steelers (5-2)-- Pittsburgh covered five of last six as home dog but are 8-12-1 vs spread in game after their last 21 wins. Patriots won last eight post-bye games, 2nd-longest streak ever (Eagles won last 12); they won five of last six visits here, winning 39-26 LY. Steelers are 1-6 vs Brady, but they did win last three weeks, outscoring foes 55-13 in first half- they're 3-0 at home, allowing only three TDs on 29 drives. AFC North home dogs are 4-2 vs spread in non-divisional games. Average total in last seven series games, 52.7. Post-bye road teams are just 2-6 SU so far this season, but all but one were underdogs. Steelers scored 7-10 points in only games they've lost this season.
Browns (3-3) @ 49ers (5-1)-- No one thinks Cleveland is any good, but they've been favored to win five of six games this year; they've scored 17 or less points in five of six games, turning ball over once in all six games (+2 for year). 49ers won/covered last four games prior to bye; challenge now is to keep momentum. SF forced 3+ turnovers in four of six games; they're 2-0 as favorites, winning by 16-45 points when favored. NFC North underdogs are 4-2 vs spread in its non-divisional games. Three of last four Browns games stayed under total. 49ers ran ball for 164-213-203 yards last three games. Cleveland won both games in this series, 20-7/13-12, but series is played once every four years.
Bengals (4-2) @ Seahawks (2-4)-- Huge trap game for Cincy and its rookie QB, they won/covered last three games before bye, and held last four opponents to less than 300 yards total offense. Seattle split last four games, losing 30-28 at home to Falcons, 6-3 at Cleveland- they're 6-27 on third down last two games. Bengals are 2-9-1 in last 12 post-bye games; since '91, they're 0-4 as post-bye favorite. Seattle got seven takeaways (+3) in its two wins, one (-6) in their four losses; they're 9-5-1 in last 15 games as home dog. Home team won four in row and seven of last ten series games, with Bengals losing last three visits here, by 3-17-3 points. All three Cincinnati games went over the total.
Cowboys (3-3) @ Eagles (2-4)-- Philly has NFL record, winning last 12 games after a bye, covering six of last eight as post-bye favorite, but they've lost four of last five vs hated Cowboys- five of last eight series games were decided by 4 or less points. Road team is 7-5 in last 12 series games; Dallas won four of last six visits here, winning 20-16/14-13 last two years. Five of six Cowboy games were decided by 4 or less points; Pokes are 1-2 on road, with dogs covering all three games. Philly lost four of last five games before bye- they held teams to 13 points in both wins this year, allowed 35-29-24-31 in losses. Home faves in divisional games are 8-8 this season, 0-2 in NFC East games.
Chargers (4-2) @ Chiefs (3-3)-- First rematch of season; Chiefs lost 20-17 at San Diego in Week 3 (+14.5), 7th win in last eight series meetings for Chargers, who've won three of last four visits here, but KC is 3-0 since then, winning as an underdog in all three games. Home underdogs are 7-4 in divisional games so far this season. Chargers are 1-2 on road this year, losing at Patriots/Jets, with a 29-24 win in Denver- they've been outscored 31-6 in second half of their last two games. San Diego is 22-11-3 vs spread in game following its last 36 losses. 6-10 in its last 16 games as road favorite. Kansas Ciy covered its last three tilts as a home underdog. Three of Chiefs' last four games stayed under total.

Position Battle: Fifth Starter
by, 02-21-2014 at 11:12 AM (514 Views)
A year ago, Vance Worley came to camp and impressed coaches enough to earn an Opening Day assignment. The right-hander carried hefty expectations, having been acquired as one of the main pieces in a trade that sent Ben Revere to Philadelphia and left the Twins without a clear center fielder (an quandary that, as Seth discussed yesterday, still persists).
This year, Worley arrives in Ft. Myers under a much different set of circumstances. Following a disastrous first year in Minnesota, he's already fighting for his job, facing the possibility of winding up in the bullpen or on the waiver wire.
Worley is just one of several hurlers who will need to step up and prove himself this spring in order to earn another crack at the Twins' rotation, and that is very much by design.
The Twins hoped that Worley would join up with Scott Diamond, the only holdover from a mostly wretched 2013 starting corps, to provide stability at the front end of the rotation. In 2012, both Worley and Diamond had achieved strong results, but last year their contact-heavy ways came to a head and the result was an endless barrage of hits as the two young hurlers combined to allow 231 hits in 179 innings.
Both pitchers are still 27 or below, with MLB success not so far off in the rear view mirror, and it seems that both struggled last season at least in part due to physical limitations that should be lessened this time around. As you may recall, both pitchers were coming off supposedly "minor" elbow procedures in the previous offseason, and during the summer Worley -- who appeared somewhat heavy and sluggish to begin with -- battled shoulder soreness that ultimately led to his season being cut short in July.
Worley's transformed physique has been an early talking point in Ft. Myers this month, as the righty reportedly showed up about 25 pounds slimmer than he did a year ago. He's more than ready to put last year behind him.
Diamond has similar plans, and will be going head-to-head with Worley to lock up the final remaining spot in Minnesota's rotation. They'll both need to get past Samuel Deduno, who clearly outperformed them in 2013 but now may face physical limitations of his own.
All three are intriguing to a certain degree, and all three are out of options, so this roster battle figures to rank as the most prominent in camp. Who's going to come out on top, and why? Let's dig in.
Why Worley Will Win
As mentioned before, the Twins made a significant investment in Worley and clearly viewed him pretty highly when they billed him as their No. 1 starter to open the season last year. He certainly lost a great deal of his luster with one of the most brutal pitching performances of any MLB starter, posting a 7.21 ERA and 1.99 WHIP before retreating to Triple-A, but he's still only 26 and if you subtract 2014 from the equation he's got a stronger overall track record than his competitors.
While both Diamond and Deduno were essentially non-prospects who had been overlooked in other organizations and bloomed late as big-league pitchers, Worley reached the majors at age 22 and put up a 3.50 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and 238/97 K/BB ratio over 277 innings in his first three seasons with Philadelphia. Those are quality numbers that gave every indication Worley could at least emerge as a decent mid-rotation starter in the American League.
That upside remains, even if local fans saw nothing resembling it last season. The fact that he has apparently arrived this year in better shape and with greater resolve has to be viewed as an encouraging sign. Of course, he'll have a lot of work to do over the next six weeks in order to reenter the team's good graces.
Why Diamond Will Win
In 2012, Diamond established himself with a breakout season in which he was successful in many key areas that the Twins emphasize -- namely, he threw strikes (1.6 BB/9 rate) and kept the ball down (53 percent grounder rate and 17 homers in 173 innings). Because he conformed to the club's mold so well, it was no surprise that he was named as the only incumbent with a guaranteed spot in the 2013 unit.
It's also no surprise that he was given an extended leash despite his inability to come close to replicating those results. The lefty delivered quality starts in four of his first five turns, and then everything fell apart. He coughed up six earned runs in back-to-back starts in mid-May and never really rebounded.
His overall numbers in 2013 were bad, but when you take out his first five outings they are truly eye-popping: in 101 innings over his final 19 starts, Diamond went 5-14 with a 6.13 ERA, .881 opponents' OPS, 19 homers allowed and a 37/33 K/BB ratio. The aspects of his game that ingratiated him to the coaching staff in the previous season were nowhere to be found.
Now, sandwiched between his ugly results in 2011 and 2013, Diamond's best season looks like an outlier. Still, the skills he displayed in 2012 won't be forgotten, and now that he's gone through a normal offseason with no surgery, the Twins will be eager to see if he can bring those back to the table, especially as the only left-handed candidate for a rotation spot.
If he falters in exhibition play, Ron Gardenhire may opt to keep him around as a secondary lefty specialist in the bullpen behind Brian Duensing rather than expose him to waivers.
Why Deduno Will Win
Relative to the other two contenders in this race, Deduno was phenomenal last season. In 18 starts, he posted a 3.83 ERA while coughing up just seven homers in 108 innings. But whereas Diamond's successful 2012 campaign followed the Twins' blueprint to a tee, Deduno's approach fell on the opposite end of the spectrum; rather than hitting spots with precision, the Dominican relied on his unpredictable scattershot fastball and kept batters guessing along with his own catchers.
The result was very little solid contact but also many stretches of poor command that led to extended innings and outings. With that being said, his control was vastly improved from previous years, suggesting that Rick Anderson was able to break through with the 30-year-old to some extent.
Based on merit, Deduno should be the favorite in this competition, and if all things were equal he probably would be. But he underwent arthroscopic shoulder surgery in September and that might put him behind Worley and Diamond. Deduno has already thrown several bullpens and says he's good to go, but we'll see how sharp he looks when he takes the mound in a game.
The effectively wild right-hander already walked a thin line, so if his pitches are moving a little less, or if his control deteriorates back to 6.0 BB/9 territory, he'll have a tough time coming out on top.
Why To Keep An Eye On Others
As things stand, there's only one rotation spot available and -- barring multiple injuries or total meltdowns -- one of the guys above is essentially guaranteed to end up in it. The Twins simply aren't the type of team to give up on a pitcher with potential value if they don't have to, and they can afford to be patient with youthful candidates such as Kyle Gibson, Alex Meyer and Trevor May.
However, as we all well know, injuries tend to strike in spring training. There's a decent chance that one of the four veterans expected to open in the starting five -- Ricky Nolasco, Phil Hughes, Kevin Correia and Mike Pelfrey -- will be unavailable once the start of April rolls around. That would open the door for one of the aforementioned prospects, or another dark-horse contender such as Kris Johnson, Brooks Raley or (my preferred option) Anthony Swarzak.

Strong Pitching, Hitting Propel Valpo To Sweep of IUPUI
Saturday, April 30, 2005Chris Halstead tossed her second shutout in as many days and Brittany Atteberry pitched 6 shutout innings in the nightcap as Valpo swept a Mid-Continent Conference doubleheader from IUPUI by scores of 2-0 and 7-1. Megan Carroll, who broke Valpo's single-season doubles record with 12, went 5-for-7 with a home run, two doubles and two RBIs. Taylor Callahan was 3-for-6 with three RBIs.
The Crusaders (11-38-1 overall), who improved their Mid-Con record to 10-11 and reside in the fifth place, must wait for the results of next weekend's conference games in order to learn their fate for the four-team Mid-Con Tournament. IUPUI (18-21, 8-8 Mid-Con) hosts UMKC for doubleheaders Friday and Saturday.
Halstead, (6-17) scattered six hits, while fanning two and walking one. The freshman righthander matched Friday's performance when she tossed a five-hitter for her first career shutout (1-0). Carroll, who had three hits in the opener, gave Halstead the only run she needed by belting a two-out third-inning home run over the right center field fence.
Beth Adamski and Callahan combined for an insurance run in the fourth as Adamski led off with a double to right center and scored on Callahan's sharp single to center.
Halstead escaped jams in the sixth and seventh frames. In the sixth, she stranded Sarah Needy at third by retiring the last two Jaguars on consecutive groundouts. With two outs in the seventh and runners on first and second, Valpo catcher Shannon Robinson ended the game by picking off Susan Jones at second base.
Devan Craig (8-12) suffered the loss, allowing six hits in 6 innings. The righthander struck out one and did not yield a walk.
In the nightcap, Valpo's bats exploded for 11 hits, including four doubles and a triple. A five-run fourth broke a 2-0 game wide open as the Crusaders plated three runs on four hits before making an out. Ann Sievert led off with a double and scored on Kelly Silvey's two-bagger to left center. With Silvey on third, Alicia Ashburn successfully placed a sacrifice bunt, scoring the senior leftfielder. Following Mallory Gill's single, Carroll ripped her Valpo single-season record 12th double to left center, bringing Ashburn home for a 5-0 lead. With one out, Robinson drew a walk before Callahan delivered an RBI single to center. Carroll also scored on the throw as Valpo extended its advantage to 7-0.
In the previous inning, Robinson's RBI triple scored Carroll, who had doubled. Robinson then touched home on Callahan's RBI single.
Atteberry (5-11) kept the IUPUI offense at bay, resisting serious Jaguar threats in the first, second and third frames. The senior righthander got stronger as the game grew older, retiring seven of the last eight batters. Atteberry limited the Jaguars to six hits, while striking out one and walking three. Kayla Grutz pitched the final inning for Valpo, allowing one run on Stacey Speshyock's RBI double with two outs.
Seniors Silvey, Atteberry and Amy Mitchell were recognized between games in their final home date. Valpo will travel to Wisconsin on Tuesday for a 4 p.m. contest.

Old Crow Medicine Show is an old-time string band based in Nashville, Tennessee. Their music has been called bluegrass, Americana, and alt-country, in addition to old-time. Along with original songs, the band performs many pre-World War II blues and folk songs. They have been recording since 1998. One day, while the band was busking outside a pharmacy called Boone Drug in Boone, North Carolina, the daughter of folk-country legend Doc Watson happened by and was impressed by what she heard. Doc Watson invited the band to participate in his annual MerleFest music festival in Wilkesboro, North Carolina. That break led to the act's relocation to Nashville in 2000, where they were "embraced and... Continue Bio >>

The beach patrol said it found six dead dolphins this month.

PALO PINTO COUNTY – There's a new skipper of the Palo Pinto County Democratic Party, as Ida Nickerson recently took the helm prior to the Nov. 6 presidential election.
In late September, Nickeron took over as Palo Pinto County Democratic Party Chair from outgoing chair Lanie Wright.
Wright served as chair for almost four years, taking over after the death of long-time PPCDP Chair Herman Motley.
"Lanie came to me and asked me if I would be interested, knowing her term would come up," Nickerson said. "I had the support of some of the members and after careful consideration, I decided to take on the challenge." She said she faces a steep learning curve and hopes to employ her 10 years of community work and her Political Science degree "to rebuild the party and bring us together on a grassroots level – with hometown barbeques, fish fries, book clubs, whatever we need to do."

This home was perfect for our stay in the Poconos. It was very comfortable for the 5 adults and 3 children in our party. The location is beautiful, with everything you would need for everyone of all ages. The pool is just down the street a bit, which has its own snack bar, along with the beach at the lake that is beautiful. The owner Joe is extremely helpful and informative. If you have questions or concerns, he will respond to you right away. This home could be me first home, never mind a 2nd home :)...I would most definitely return to spend another vacation there. As a matter of fact, we were originally planning to go again over Thanksgiving, but unfortunately those plans had to be canceled. But will definitely love to go again next summer. Thanks again Joe.....You and your home were wonderful!!!!
Christine, We wanted to thank you for the use of your Pocono home. The house was wonderful – very spacious and with every amenity you could think of. Even the dogs made themselves right at home. The weather was not very cooperative so we spent more time indoors than we planned. With a teen and a pre-teen along, that could have been a bit challenging, but the number of board games and movies you had available took care of that concern. Even with the excellent wireless, the kids really enjoyed playing board games and actually left the i-pads and i-phones take a break at times. We had planned on doing a lot of fishing and bicycling, but the rain kept us from those activities. We did really enjoy the deer which came very close to the deck. I think the deer enjoyed it as well (at least they enjoyed the bread, popcorn and apples). We did do some interesting things – the kids are big on ghost hunter shows so we went to the Old Jail Museum in Jim Thorpe. Not an expert on that sort of thing but the girls mentioned 'orbs' and whatever they are, some orbs appeared in some of their old cell block photos. They also had a good time horseback riding at Deer Path Stables. Now our niece's mother is hearing how bad her daughter needs a horse! You had an excellent list of restaurants, but we mostly cooked our own meals. The one exception was Murphy's Loft which had some very good sandwiches. Our granddaughter loves French onion soup and theirs was some of the best we had. One day we road tripped to the Old Country Junction store which is really a must see. They have everything you can think of. Later that evening we continued on to Becky's Drive-In in Walnutport which has to be the nicest drive in we have ever been to. Even a passing thunderstorm didn't cause much concern. Finally, since it was too cold to do the waterpark at camelback, we took the girls to Dorney Park on Saturday when the weather was a little better.
Went Poconos for ski weekend with my family of 4 and my brother's family of 4. John was great on communication and his place was great. House is well maintained and clean. Plenty of room for family to spread out. My youngest still talks about the singing deer head!

"I was disoriented beneath the cold water. I kicked toward the surface, but the force of the water held me down. I twisted and hung underwater for a moment. A thought passed through my head--this is what it feels like to drown," writes Dan Gingold. Dan and three friends planned to raft the Musconetcong River into the larfer Delaware River over three days. With the river running high with spring rains and little prior recon, their mellow trip became more than they bargained for as they navigated multiple dams.

"It's like you're scared to move forward-- you just need something to give you a little nudge," says Jonah Manning. "You can call it support, but, really it's just like a little bit of a shove forward. And I'll never forget it, because Widge was certainly that for me." Today, we bring you the story of Widge, the ultimate adventure partner. Sometimes when that metaphorical door of adventure opens, you need someone to walk through by your side.

"Standing up in my pedals, I dug so deep to make it to the top of the hill I wasn't positive that my butt could bear sitting back down on my bike seat when I got to the top," Hilary Oliver remembers. "I'd hardly said a word to another human being all day, and began to wonder: What the hell was I doing out there, anyway?" Hilary had driven that stretch of asphalt between Fort Collins and Denver many times, but she didn't know what it had to teach her about herself and where she came from until she got out from behind the windshield.

A month ago, we headed south for our annual pilgrimage to the 5 Point Film Festival and our live Dirtbag Diaries. Today, we share stories from two women, from two different generations who share a love for rivers. In 2013, Amber Valenti had the opportunity to paddle one of the last great free-flowing rivers in the world-- The Amur River. Amber, along with three other women paddlers, documented the river from its remote headwaters in Mongolia to the wide-ribboned channels in Russia. Amber wrote and produced the film, "Nobody's River," filled with hilarious antics and the soulful exploration of a new place and oneself.
Our next guest, Katie Lee, was a force to have on stage. Feisty, poignant and ready to tell you what she thinkS, Katie is not your typical nonagenarian. Katie started her career as an actress in Hollywood, but soon left it behind after taking her first trip down the Grand Canyon. But it was Glen Canyon that she fell in love with. When it was flooded in 1963, Katie used her voice to write songs and books about the river and the west. And she's still using her voice as an activist for the environment.
This episode contains strong language.

Committed. It's a word we use to describe people we know, our friends, even ourselves. Committed to a sport. A ski line. A lifestyle. It can be easy to commit to those daily or short term goals. But carving out time to achieve a bigger dream, something that may take weeks or months, even years--it can feel really hard to take that first step. To even know what that first step is. And sometimes, the very goal we set for ourselves can define the duration of our commitment. Twelve years ago, Pablo Garcia left Argentina to pedal around the world. And he's still pedaling.

The average American spends a third of their income on housing. Almost as much as the next two greatest expenses--food and transportation--combined. So, theoretically, if you just stopped paying for housing, you could earn a living working three days a week. Or two thirds of the year.
Today, we bring you a story about the pursuit of snow, world domination and cheap rent. It's imperfect. It comes with inconveninces. Trade-offs. But, at the end of the day, what would you rather trade in? Convenience? Or time chasing down dry rock or fluffy snow?

Brody Leven applied for a climbing permit for Denali from a rented Subaru parked outside a closed cafe. In a blizzard. In Iceland. Weeks later, he would fly to Alaska to meet up with his team of overly accomplished athletes with the goal of climbing and skiing from Denali's summit. Determined not to be the weak link, he spent his two week layover in Salt Lake City obsessing over his gear. "I packed, unpacked, checked and repacked," remembers Brody. "I read every online gear checklist I could find, packed my warmest clothes, and measured the length of my prussiks." Yet, despite all of his careful planning, Brody made one dire miscalculation.
