City employees in Moundsville can look forward to a pay raise in fiscal 2013-14, according to information about the proposed operating budget released by City Manager Deanna Hess on Thursday.
"It's going to be an increase across the board," Mayor Eugene Saunders said after a special meeting of City Council. "It's been a while since the last pay increase."
Saunders said all city workers will receive about a 3-percent pay hike.
The 2013-14 budget message showed balanced projected revenues and expenditures of $5.96 million for the city's General Fund. Meanwhile, projected revenue for the Coal Severance Fund is $57,336 with plans to expend that amount.
"These estimates reflect a balanced budget for the 2013-2014 fiscal year," the budget message states.
The city manager's office said anticipated revenues for the city are projected to increase by more than $160,000 over the current year's estimate, and they remain optimistic the trend will continue. While the 2013-14 budget shows salary and capital expenditure increases, it does not show any increase or decrease in the city's work force or the benefits offered to city employees.
"The work force is remaining level," Saunders said.
Services to residents will remain the same as well.
The proposed budget is available on request at the Moundsville City Clerk's Office in the Municipal Building at 800 Sixth St., Monday through Friday.

Well, had an ATV 2, the remote stopped working for some reasons.
Could control the ATV using the Remote app on the iPhone, all good so far.
Then I felt like jailbreaking it and load xbmc on it.
Putting the ATV in DFU mode was not a straight forward process without a remote. That and the fact that there's no way I could have the HDMI cable plugged in and have the micro-USB cable connected at the same time. Who came up with that connector placement? moron...
I used Seas0nPass to download iOS 5.0.2, and create the patched firmware. Then I used RedSn0w to create a IPFW that would put the ATV in DFU mode and flashed it using iTunes.
From that point, Seas0nPass could start reflashing the ATV with the jailbroken ipfw.
What now? I'm stuck on a screen asking me what language I want to set the ATV. Without a working remote, it's not very promising.
I have access to the SSH shell, and followed the instructions to install the XBMC app.
I was thinking that maybe there is a way to manually start the remote learning screen from the command line ?
That way at least I would have a remote working and will be able to complete the setup screen.
Thanks in advance.

Sustainable Governance Indicators
The Sustainable Governance Indicators (SGI) examine governance and policymaking in the 31 OECD member states in order to evaluate each country's need for and ability to carry out reform. Similar to the Bertelsmann Stiftung's Transformation Index (BTI), the SGI are divided into a Status Index and Management Index, which are calculated using quantitative data from international organizations and then supplemented by qualitative assessments from recognized country experts. The latest release of the SGI, which are updated every two years, took place in March 2011.
Project duration: Launched in April 2006Project Description
Considerable Deficits in Intergenerational Justice
Most OECD states maintain their wealth and prosperity at the expense of their children and succeeding generations. They are thus endangering not only their own future but are also acting unfairly towards their own descendants. Those are just some of the findings from an international study carried out by the Bertelsmann Stiftung on intergenerational justice in 29 OECD member states.more
South Africa less attractive as a role model
About to serve as host for the BRICS summit, South Africa is experiencing problems in key areas such as education, health, social inclusion and unemployment – and thus cannot be considered one of the African continent's leading nations. Those are the findings of a comparative study of BRICS members carried out by the Bertelsmann Stiftung.more

Clark to Open Gallery of 17th-Century European Art
For Immediate Release
June 10, 2003
Today the Sterling and Francine Clark Art Institute opens a new installation of 17th-century European art. Entitled "Sacred and Profane," the gallery will feature two paintings, frequently requested by visitors, that have been off public view in recent years: Fray Julian's Vision of the Ascension of the Soul of King Philip II of Spain (1645-46) by Bartolomé Esteban Murillo, and Portrait of Konstanze von Habsburg, Archduchess of Central Austria, Later Queen of Poland (1604) by Joseph Heintz the Elder. In addition to paintings from the Clark collection and several loans from private collections, the installation will feature a gallery devoted to prints and drawings by Rembrandt and Rubens from the Clark collection and from the estate of the late Julius S. Held.
"Sacred and Profane: 17th-Century European Art" will occupy the galleries vacated by the Clark's recent special exhibition Renoir and Algeria, which has moved on to the Dallas Museum of Art. The paintings and works on paper will remain on view through October.
The nine Rembrandt works on view include the drawing Farm Under Trees (c. 1650) and the etchings The Three Trees (1647) and Portrait of Ephraim Bonus (1647) from the Clark collection, as well as The Goldsmith (1655) and Virgin and Child in the Clouds (1641) from the Held estate. Also on view will be the drawings Portrait of Thomas Howard, Earl of Arundel (c. 1629-30) and Hercules Strangling the Nemean Lion (c. 1620) by Peter Paul Rubens.
The paintings on view range from religious paintings, mythological and classical subjects, portraits, landscapes, and scenes of daily life. Among the highlights are Christ and the Woman of Samaria by Sebastien Bourdon and Market Scene with Two Figures by Bernardo Strozzi, both on loan from private collections. Other artists represented include Rubens, Claude Lorrain, Jacob van Ruisdael, and Adam Pynacker.
The Sterling and Francine Clark Art Institute is located at 225 South Street in Williamstown, Massachusetts. The galleries are open Tuesday through Sunday, 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Gallery admission is free through May 31. For more information call 413-458-2303 or visit www.clarkart.edu.

(seen at the pressconference with some ice on her wrist (?)
Maria Kirilenko lost at quarter final match of Aegon International, 2-6 6-1 5-7!
In fact her opponent,Wickmayer, played wonderful and won the match! However, Kiri's performance was very good and could make 8 Aces and a good playing during the match, but finally Wickmayer won the match.
First some shopping before the BIG WORK...DAVAI KIRI !!!
After returning home to see some family in Russia earlier in the week, Alex Ovechkin is back where he belongs. And that place is the warm embrace of Maria Kirilenko. Maria has spent the past few days getting ready for Wimbledon in London. It'll be her first grand slam tourney as a top-ten rated player.
FEEL SO SAD...Kiri ousted by Robson in first round. A very good Robson was better and won 63 64...another surprise
Yes, this Wimbledon is full of surprising things and unbeliebable results!
First Nadal, then Errani and Kiri! No one knows what will happen next. Maybe Roger loses or Djokovic!
We can just watch and follow the results.
The presence of her boyfriend, Alex Ovechkin was not enough for Kirilenko to win Laura Robson. I think Maria Kirilenko is a good tennis player but not an excellent one to beat each tennis player at each tournament.
Anyway, Maria Kirilenko surprises us sometimes.
Kiri is not lucky in tennis today but at least she is lucky in love..
The battle continues in tennis...
Stats from twitter...Black GS for Russia
Dartagnan: It is not difficult to be happy in life...
Alex Ovechkin and his girlfriend, Maria Kirilenko, are vacationing together and appear to be enjoying a fun-filled, relaxing time by the water.
I'm pleased and somewhat relieved to report that while the happy couple did opt for color coordinated bathing suits, they did not wear matching flip flops. Additionally, a sea of bonus points are in order for what has to be the beginnings of an unprecedented joint crane kick.
Only a few more days:)
The Mardan Palace is a 7-star luxury hotel in Lara, Antalya, Turkey, built by Azerbaijani businessman Telman Ismailov. Kirilenko&Ovechkin spent few days in this hotel....

We've had countless discussions on here about the religious colloquialisms and sayings that others say that we tolerate (e.g. many don't mind something like, ("I hope you get better soon - I'll pray for you", or something as simple as "bless you" after a sneeze). But what about the other end of the spectrum?
What are the xian, or religious for that matter, sayings that drive you crazy or get under your skin? For instance, here are a couple of mine...
You get the idea.
Can't wait to read your thoughts on this!
Views: 5488
I just read another quote to add to my "OMFFSM you've GOT to be kidding me..." pile. This time it is someone's FB status...
As you stand on your throne and judge me ~ I will be on my knees praying for you~ God is my one and only judge!
Yet another sanctimonious, demeaning xian message...
Mainly when they accredit man achieved things to god. Someone gets sick, they take medicine, people pray. The person is better and "OH JESUS THANK YOU".
First let me say that I love you guys and I'm thankful to have found this bastion of logic and reason. Now, more to the point. I find it disturbing when people say, after some mishap where nobody was hurt or killed, "Thank God nobody was injured.", as if god intervened of someones behalf (odds on this are 1 in 7,000,000,000) and prevented injury. Call it what it is, blind luck. Christians have a lot of trouble with facts and truth. Be careful out there, it's a crazy world.
Thinking of the people "god" gave me... he can have them back. And can I get a refund?
"I have often heard so many Christians tell each other in time of adversity that
God will never give you more than you can handle. Then i think of all
the victims of suicide and i don't know whether to laugh or to
mourn." - Jason Paisley
Yeah…. It's all part of God's plan
The holocaust, cancer, starvation, and the Kardashians.- It's all part of his plan.
the Kardashians - lol.
The most simple thing is "God bless you" when I sneeze. I never say thank you. My boyfriend and I got in an argument about this and he said that "bless you" is just sort of something you say after some one sneezes to be nice. I asked him why we needed to do that after someone sneezes and he couldn't give me a reason. He's not religious but I still think he's on the fence. His parents believe and he's such a family oriented person that I think if he were to say he didn't believe, he'd feel that he was disapointing his family. But anyways, I understand saying excuse me after burping but why do you need to say bless you? Just that right there is assuming everyone is religious when it's simply not true. The sad thing is, if someone said bless you to me and I simply said "No thank you" they would start arguing how I'm pushing my atheist ways on them.
In times long past people believed that when you sneezed your entire body stopped working. So they thought your soul could be stolen by the devil. The God bless you was to save your soul. I don't worry when someone says it to me. They are just doing what they were taught. It's not like they are trying to convert me. Being an atheist does not mean you have to insult people who have a belief.
My general response is "Not recently, but I'm still waiting".
The saying "It's all part of God's plan." pisses me off something fierce...

Roasting the herb-rubbed turkey with apples and shallots is the secret to flavorful meat. Extra shallots in the roasting pan give the gravy a rich, caramelized shallot flavor.
The pulp and rind of Moroccan preserved lemons is all you need to lift a pedestrian roast chicken into the realm of the exotic!
The zesty lemon-garlic rub for this turkey gives it amazing flavor. Instead of using a conventional supermarket turkey that's been "enhanced" with added sodium solution, here we brine a natural or organic turkey to keep the meat extra juicy without a lot of extra sodium.
The orange marmalade and soy sauce glaze accentuates the rich, gamy taste of duck. It's an irresistible treat for company any time of year.
Here, we sear quail in a skillet and then finish them in the oven over a bed of pear- and cranberry-studded brown-rice pilaf. Although they look like they might be tricky to prepare, quail couldn't be easier to roast. And the flavor payoff is big—rich, succulent meat that is a dark-meat lover's delight.
Pheasant is a small bird with a delicate flavor that's richer than chicken. We roast apples and shallots in the pan along with the bird, then toss them with cooked wheat berries for a delicious whole-grain side.
A big turkey is so spectacular you hardly need to do anything to embellish it. But brining can be that extra touch that makes it so juicy and flavorful that you'll remember it for years to come. Brining the turkey takes 3 days so you'll need to plan ahead, but the lengthy brining time really pays off with fabulous flavor. Make sure you start with an all-natural bird without any added water and sodium solution. (Recipe adapted from Alice Waters.)
Impress your family and friends this holiday season with a healthy recipe for a delicious roast turkey, roast chicken, roast duck or other festive roasted bird. A roasting turkey fills your home with a mouthwatering aroma. Try something different and make one of our roast duck recipes, or make a roast chicken recipe if you're serving a more intimate holiday meal.

Martin Bernard Springer is second Miramonte teacher to face charges of lewd acts
Grant Slater/KPCC
Parents of students at Miramonte Elementary School escort they children out of school on February 6, 2012.
Miramonte Elementary School second-grade teacher Martin Bernard Springer will face charges following last week's arrest on suspicion of fondling two girls, the Los Angeles County district attorney's office announced Tuesday. The charges relate to one of the alleged victims. Springer faces a maximum sentence of 12 years in prison.
The girls, approximately 7-years-old at the time of the incidents, were allegedly fondled in the classroom. Like co-worker Mark Berndt who's being held on $23 million after being charged with 23 lewd acts against children, taught his entire career at Miramonte.
In a closed session earlier Tuesday, the LAUSD board unanimously approved the firing Martin Springer, as well as the firing of Hamilton High School music magnet teacher Vance Miller accused of sexual battery against students during the mid-1990s through 2010, as reported by KPCC's Tami Abdollah.

For Instructors
Everyone is Welcome
01/11/2011 6:41 pm
You have spent hours preparing your profile and music. You have decided that you are ready to take your class on a journey that will test their ability to buffer lactate through the effective use of intervals. You know they are ready and have been preparing them for weeks. This ride will challenge the best of the riders in your class. You have promoted your class for weeks and the membership is really excited to take the challenge. You are so excited as you enter the studio and start to prepare for your class. You start the music and then someone comes up to you and says, ?Hi, I?m new. I?ve never been taken a Spinning class before. Can you help me?? What do you say to the new student that has never been in a class before and you know that most likely cannot handle the intense ride you have planned? Your response can either make the student feel completely comfortable or turn them off to your class and even the Spinning program. I have personally witnessed instructors that have handled the above situation with acceptance. I have also watched an instructor turn their back on the new student and suggested they find a beginner class before they attempt a ?real? Spinning class. New students are intimidated to take their first class. Compound this intimidation with an instructor that will exclude them from his or her class and you?ll have a member that most likely will never try to take a Spinning class again. The Spinning program was designed to allow everyone to participate regardless of their ability and experience. Unless you have scheduled a special class that has been advertised for only experienced riders, then you have to bring out your best coaching. You can still challenge your experienced riders, but you need to make adjustments to your profile so that the new students will feel they have been successful in their first class. You will need to not only adjust the intensity for the new student, but also the types of movements they can perform. Inform the new student that you have a difficult ride planned for the day, but that you will provide additional cues to help them get through the ride. Let them know that you do not expect them to ride at the same level as the more experienced riders. Coach them from the floor rather from your bike so you do not single them out over the microphone. Remember, the Spinning program was designed to be inclusive and not selective. Everyone that walks into your studio should be welcomed and give the same attention that your experienced riders are given. Think about your first time you took a Spinning class. Would you have gone back if you were told that the class will be above your ability? blog by Ralph Mlady for community.spinning.com 1/11/11Share

Small Increase in Diabetes Risk in Statin PatientsPosted: Sunday, February 28, 2010
For many, benefits of lowering cholesterol outweigh drugs' downsides, researchers say.
The use of cholesterol-lowering statin drugs increases the chance of developing diabetes by 9 percent, but the absolute risk is low, especially when compared with how much statins reduce the threat of heart disease and heart attack, new research shows.
The researchers analyzed data from 13 clinical trials of statins conducted between 1994 and 2009. The trials included a total of 91,140 people. Of those, 2,226 participants taking statins and 2,052 people in control groups developed diabetes over an average of four years.
Overall, statin therapy was associated with a 9 percent increased risk of developing diabetes, but the risk was higher in older patients. Neither body mass index nor changes in LDL (bad) cholesterol levels appeared to affect the statin-associated risk of developing diabetes.
Study authors Naveed Satar and David Preiss, of the University of Glasgow's Cardiovascular Research Center, UK, wrote that there's no evidence that statin therapy raises diabetes risk through a direct molecular mechanism, though the possibility should be considered.
The researchers noted that slightly improved survival among patients taking statins doesn't explain the increased risk of developing diabetes. They added that while it's highly unlikely, the increased risk of diabetes among people taking statins could be a chance finding.
To put their findings in context, the study authors pointed out that if 255 patients took statins for four years, there would be only one extra case of diabetes. However, for each millimole per liter reduction in LDL cholesterol achieved by taking statins, the same 255 patients would experience five fewer major coronary events, such as coronary heart disease death or non-fatal heart attack.
"In view of the overwhelming benefit of statins for reduction of cardiovascular events, the small absolute risk for development of diabetes is outweighed by cardiovascular benefit in the short and medium term in individuals for whom statin therapy is recommended," the researchers wrote in a news release.
"We therefore suggest that clinical practice for statin therapy does not need to change for patients with moderate or high cardiovascular risk or existing cardiovascular disease. However, the potentially raised diabetes risk should be taken into account if statin therapy is considered for patients at low cardiovascular risk or patient groups in which cardiovascular benefit has not been proven," they concluded.
The study authors also recommended monitoring of older people taking statins, since they have a higher risk of developing diabetes.
The benefit of taking statins to reduce cardiovascular risk greatly outweighs the risk of developing diabetes by a ratio of about 9:1, Dr. Christopher P. Cannon, of the cardiovascular division at Brigham and Women's Hospital and Harvard Medical School in Boston, wrote in an accompanying comment article.
"Nonetheless, this newly identified risk does warrant monitoring, and as such, in addition to periodic monitoring of liver-function tests and creatine kinase, it seems reasonable to add glucose to the list of tests to monitor in older patients on statins," Cannon said.

Hi everyone! I am a first time mom and we just had our baby last weekend. We are formula feeding and are currently using the samples that the hospital sent home with us. We want to switch to our own bottles using liquid or powder. My question is we just aren't sure what bottles are best-plastic or glass? Any suggestions for bottles? Also, do the bottles come with nipples or do we buy them separately? Thanks!
Congratulations on the newest addition to your family. What an exciting time for you. I'm sure that your question will bring out quite a few responses. We all have a lot to say about bottles! I would read through the replies you get here and then do some searching through the older posts on this board to see what other posts have had to say about bottles. Here is my two cents-
I would use plastic over glass bottles. All the bottles put out now are BPA free, so the plastic won't be harmful to the baby. For the most part the bottles will come with nipples, you can usually buy additional nipples if needed.
In my practice I work with three different kinds of bottles:
1-Avent Bottles: These bottles tend to be fat and shorter. They are known to be "the most like the nipple", so they are known to be a good bottle for babies that are being both breast and bottle fed as they claim to prevent "nipple confusion" (which is a whole controversy in itself.
2-Dr Brown's bottles: These bottles are known to help babies that have a hard time regulating the flow from the bottle. These are used in the NICU setting and with kids that tend to drink to fast or have trouble coordinating suck, swallow, breath sequence.
3-Traditional yellow nipple bottles: These bottles tend to work well for the "normal kid" lol. Babies that are good feeders do great on a plain old plastic bottle with a yellow nipple. I'd say for the majority of kiddos these bottles work just fine.
So, that is my speech on bottle types. I'm sure you will get more responses as well.
Take care and keep us posted on how you and your baby is doing!
Hey sunshine0980! I'm going to be a first time mom myself and formula feeding. We registered for the Tommee Tippee bottles which are supposed to be the newest and have the "closest to natural" feeling for the baby. We are going to try those first and see how they work with the baby. They also have sensitive stomach ones. I've heard great things about the Avent bottles as well. I was actually going to go with those until I saw the Tommee Tippee ones. After talking to a few other moms though, you really don't know which bottles your baby is going to like so you can buy a few different ones and see which your baby seems to like best. Good luck!
Congrats on your little one. We are expecting our 2nd child in April. Our 1st daughter we used the Dr. Brown's bottles and loved them. She had a milk allergy and they really seemed to help with the colic symptoms that she was easily prone to getting with too much air in the bottles. With that said, there were more parts in those bottles to clean. It was a bit time consuming, but worth it for the benefits. My SIL tried the Tommee Tippee bottles and did NOT like them at all. She said they were awkward to hold and did not seem to work as well for her. I have looked at the Avent bottles and the Similiac bottles for this new baby. I would buy a small pack of a type, try it, and see if you like it. Plastic is less expensive then glass (I think) and definitely more convenient. As long as it is BPA free you will be fine! Good luck!
I also bought the Tommee Tippee sensitive tummy bottles and they didn't work for us. They're pretty expensive, the design seems very advanced and the regular ones have received great reviews, which is why I figured they'd be fantastic. I, among many other, experiences issues with leaking and nipple collapse with those bottles. There is a valve which has a silicone disk on the end that has a very small slit which is supposed to open to let air escape. This valve is very difficult to use properly. You have to rub the slit open just before use. Often I found the slit to not work and the nipple would collapse, which was a pain to deal with. If I could do it over again, I think I'd have chosen the Dr. Brown bottles over Tommee Tippee bottles. The Tommee Tippee bottle brush is amazing though! In my opinion, it's the best out there.
Sunshine and other moms and dads-
This is always a hot topic and so I wanted to check in with everyone and find out how things are going with the bottles. Do you have any suggestions to offer others? What questions do you have? I'd love to hear from you,
-Jess :)
Hello everyone! This is my first time visiting the community- and I just thought I would put in another suggestion on the subject (because it can be a tough choice!). I'm a new mom myself, and I have had excellent luck with the original Playtex Drop-Ins. I know that the liners can get expensive, but depending on where you shop, some stores (like Target) offer generic branded drop-in liners for them, so for half the price you can have the same success with feeding a fussy baby :) My little Emily had so much of an issue getting too much air- despite having the bottle at an upright angle so that no air would enter the nipple- until we tried these at the suggestion of a friend. I suspect, however, that the success may be attributed more to the wider, fatter nipple that these use rather than the liners themselves. Of course, my parents roll their eyes and tell me that the plain old glass bottles worked just fine with me... lol To each their own! Good luck, Sunshine, and congrats on your little one!
We have found the Breastflow by the first years works great. It is designed to be most like a real breast when baby is eating. There is an insert in the nipple so the baby has to suck harder. Less gas, no spitting up, no choking from eating to fast. Has worked great!
I'm helping raise my granddaughter that is now 11 weeks old. LOVE LOVE LOVE these bottles. They are also easy to clean since we don't have a dishwasher. No bottle brush needed. The cap also fits on the bottom of the bottle so you don't lose it or forget it.
Hi sunshine0980,congrats!
As a first time mom myself, I went and bought every different bottles out there. My guy seems to like Dr.Brown the best. They come in glasses and plastics. When we are traveling, we use the glasses since it heats rather fast under hot running water and it is rather convenient when bottle warmers are not around.
Hildy - I've wanted to hear from moms and grandmas about what they think of the Breastflow bottles. Great review and informative too - thanks!

% of HS Runners That run professionally

I those this was pretty interesting. Anyone ever computed the number of high school runners that compete professionally using similar data?

Re: % of HS RUNNERS THAT RUN PROFESSIONALLY
What do you mean? Athletes who went straight to professional after high school? Or athletes who eventually run professionally after high school, whether or not they ran in college before going pro?
Re: % of HS RUNNERS THAT RUN PROFESSIONALLY
High School to Pro
Men's Basketball - 0.03%
Women's Basketball - 0.02%
Football - 0.08%
Baseball - 0.51%
Men's Hockey - 0.10%
Men's Soccer 0.03%
T&F must be less than 0.01%
Re: % of HS RUNNERS THAT RUN PROFESSIONALLY
Run professional in track? lol, less than 1% who run track in HS ever make ANY money in track now in track and road running very few ever make money in it beyond pocket change.
You look at the US Olympic team and figure a third are on virtually on food stamps once out of college if they don't have another job. USATF provides assistance of $7k to about a 100 or so athletes ranked high enough in the world rankings and another 100 or so get a little less and then you have prize money which is hard to come by in Europe unless you are among the top 10 in the world per event.
In the last decade or so we have seen many of the old meets die off - Athens, Cologne, Turin, etc. Many more that don't come to mind. Essentially no new ones replace them and the money at non-DL meets is crap IF you ever get paid. I know athletes who "earned" prize money 2 years ago from meets that still haven't paid out and probably won't and some of these are IAAF World Challenge series meets! Average time to get paid is about 3 months after the event! Getting into meets is a challenge even for Olympic level athletes as its quite political and meets want to limit fields to say 2-3 Americans in some events so you can be for example a 44.7 400 guy and not get a lane or get lane 1 in a b heat and make $500 if you manage to get 4th place. When travel costs are included most professional athletes find it a losing proposition.
Trindan Holliday was an elite US sprinter and he is making $390k as a returner for the Broncos and has all his travel and medical costs covered by the team plus is paid per diem when he travels. Plus if the Broncos make the playoffs he will get a nice bonus based on that as well. In track he would have been lucky to ever make more than what he will make this year alone in the NFL and would have to pay for med costs and much of his travel.
Nick Symmonds left Europe after one post-Olympic race because there were not enough meet opportunities to justify staying and racing. Many others were in the same boat but when you see a 5th in the Olympics athlete in this predicament it just shows the trouble our sport is in. Sure he cost himself a race or 2 for his efforts to improve the sport by meet directors who exert their influence by shutting him out.
I have often said the best thing the shoe companies could do to boost the sport would be to provide great support at the various meets in terms of prize money and athlete support costs and instead of giving each athlete so much money in sponsorship reduce that to enough for living costs and then there is money for performance and you wouldn't have busts like Xavier Carter or Allan Webb earning huge deals and not performing. By having decent prize money meets would be more attractive to sell to fans in stands and on TV and athletes are incentivized to show up and race and the money would be good enough to grow the sport if packaged properly.
Re: % of HS RUNNERS THAT RUN PROFESSIONALLY
Even that WILDLY inflates the facts. If it was even 1% of 1%, I'd be surprised.
Re: % of HS RUNNERS THAT RUN PROFESSIONALLY
1/googol is probably the right percentage.
Re: % of HS RUNNERS THAT RUN PROFESSIONALLY
I can't believe football is 0.08%. I came across 1 player. NFL rules say that a player cannot be drafted until his high school class has been out of high school for three years. However, there is a skeleton in the NFL's closet with Andy Livingston. He never graduated from high school.
http://www.nytimes.com/2003/12/14/sport ... -play.html
In his first game, Livingston returned a kickoff 86 yards for a touchdown against the Minnesota Vikings.
Livingston was born in Eufaula, Okla. His family moved to Arizona, where he attended Mesa High School. He was a phenomenal athlete: he was an all-American tailback in 1961, when he was the Arizona high school player of the year. He won the 100-yard dash in 9.7 seconds and anchored the winning 880-yard relay team to help Mesa win the state track championship in 1962.
Livingston never completed high school. He married during his senior year after a casual sexual relationship resulted in pregnancy. They had a daughter. ''Between trying to raise a family and carry 16 hours, it was too stressful and too difficult. The word got out that I was trying to make a move to the N.F.L.''
After a conversation with Livingston, Wilford White, who played at Arizona State and for the Bears, spoke to the Bears' owner, George Halas, who spoke to Commissioner Pete Rozelle about granting Livingston a hardship exemption. Livingston didn't realize that the hardship was just beginning.
Re: % of HS RUNNERS THAT RUN PROFESSIONALLY
One in every 200 HS baseball players go pro? That's very hard to believe.
Re: % of HS RUNNERS THAT RUN PROFESSIONALLY
The figure is not for 'straight from HS to the Pros'; it's for how many EVENTUALLY get there.
Re: % of HS RUNNERS THAT RUN PROFESSIONALLY
That includes all the minor leagues.
Re: % of HS RUNNERS THAT RUN PROFESSIONALLY
And many of them have second jobs during the off season.
So who exactly are "professional runners"?
Anyone who has won prize money? (I have... but you wouldn't call me a "professional" runner, would you?)
Anyone who has sponsorship? (But many runners only get free shoes.)
Or anyone who does not hold any job unrelated to running? What if you are one of the Hanson-Brooks runners and work part time at one of their running stores? That's "running related" job, but certainly different from Kara or Galen signing autographs at expo...
Re: % of HS RUNNERS THAT RUN PROFESSIONALLY
The problem with this is comparing in two completely different ways.
There are approximately 500,000 high school baseball players in each year.
And let us suppose there are 200 major/minor league teams, at about 25 per team. So that is 5000 'pro' players. 5000/500,000 = 1/100. This 1/200 works, but only if we count 2 years of high school graduation years. So yea, this 1 out of 200 is way out of line.
Re: % of HS RUNNERS THAT RUN PROFESSIONALLY
So, the question is really about the average length of "pro" employment. There certainly isn't a complete turnover every 1 or 2 years.
Re: % of HS RUNNERS THAT RUN PROFESSIONALLY
That is about right. This 1/200 works if there is a complete turnover in the pros every 2 years. Needless to say, that doesn't happen.
Re: % of HS RUNNERS THAT RUN PROFESSIONALLY
There are way more than 200 teams, and this list does not include Independent Leagues, which I think still qualify as "professional" teams.
Re: % of HS RUNNERS THAT RUN PROFESSIONALLY
Ok, double, triple the number of 'pros'. The idea of 1 out 200 of all high school players who ever played turned pro is really far-fetched. My high school has had baseball for decades and I never heard of any that turned professional and they have had some really good players. And I am sure that is true for most schools.
Re: % of HS RUNNERS THAT RUN PROFESSIONALLY
But I also think that the average turnover rate of two years is not that far off.
Most players probably sign 2-3 yr minor league contracts which are not renewed. And then there are some who are signed into 1 yr contract or even shorter. I assume there are only a handful of players who stay more than the initial contract period.
Re: % of HS RUNNERS THAT RUN PROFESSIONALLY
Or maybe you simply didn't hear about those who made it to the minor leagues, as that's not a particularly newsworthy event.
Re: % of HS RUNNERS THAT RUN PROFESSIONALLY
If I had not had a foot problem and grad school inturd, I think that I would have gotten just a tiny bit of money and I did get a little bit of bicycling money (four digits). Why is this relevant -- because I was just barely 7th man on our JV team my senior year (my best year). [And, I worked reasonably diligently, it seemed, although not nearly as much as six years later.]

Jessica Chastain Set for Film Society of Lincoln Center Event, 2/8
The Film Society of Lincoln Center has announced that Golden Globe winner and two-time Academy Award nominee actress Jessica Chastain will appear on Friday, February 8th at 3:00pm at the Elinor Bunin Munroe Film Center Amphitheater for a conversation on film in a special free-to-the-public event.
A noted alum of the Drama Division at The Julliard School, since graduating from the school with a BFA in 2003, Chastain has received major accolades for her roles in films like Ralph Fiennes' CORIOLANUS, John Madden's THE DEBT, John Hillcoat's LAWLESS, Jeff Nichols' TAKE SHELTER, Terrence Malick's THE TREE OF LIFE and Tate Taylor's THE HELP (for which she received her first nomination last year for an Academy Award). She can currently be seen in Andrés Muschietti's MAMA and Katherine Bigelow's Academy Award nominated film, ZERO DARK THIRTY (for which she recently won Best Actress at the National Board of Review, the Golden Globe for Best Actress in a Drama and for which she is currently nominated for Best Actress for the upcoming Academy Awards), as well as her Broadway-debut turn in THE HEIRESS.
Chastain is the latest in a series of high profile guests that have appeared (in person or via Skype) at the Film Society of Lincoln Center to talk about some of the most acclaimed movies of the past year. Recent guests have included: Ben Affleck for ARGO, Christopher Nolan for THE DARK KNIGHT RISES, Joe Wright for Anna KarenINA and David France for his Academy Award-nominated documentary HOW TO SURVIVE A PLAGUE.
Tickets will be available at the Elinor Bunin Munroe Film Center box office on a first-come, first-served basis one hour prior to the conversation. For those unable to attend in person, video from the event will be available online at FilmLinc.com. Keep up with the latest news on awards coverage with the Film Society of Lincoln Center's blog, The Season: http://filmlinc.com/theseason.
Founded in 1969 to celebrate American and international cinema, the Film Society of Lincoln Center, under the leadership of Rose Kuo, Executive Director, and Robert Koehler, Year Round Program Director, works to recognize and support new directors, and to enhance the awareness, accessibility and understanding of film. Among its yearly programming of film festivals, film series and special events, the Film Society presents two film festivals in particular that annually attract global attention: the New York Film Festival, led by Program Director Kent Jones, which just celebrated its 50th edition, and New Directors/New Films which, since its founding in 1972, has been produced in collaboration with MoMA. The Film Society also publishes the award-winning Film Comment Magazine, and for over three decades has given an annual award-now named "The Chaplin Award"-to a major figure in world cinema. Past recipients of this award include Charlie Chaplin, Alfred Hitchcock, Martin Scorsese, Meryl Streep, Tom Hanks, and Sidney Poitier. The Film Society presents its year-round calendar of programming, panels, lectures, educational and transmedia programs and specialty film releases at the famous Walter Reade Theater and the new state-of-the-art Elinor Bunin Munroe Film Center.
The Film Society receives generous, year-round support from Royal Bank of Canada, American Airlines, The New York Times, Stonehenge Partners, Stella Artois, the National Endowment for the Arts and New York State Council on the Arts.

You most likely got the lemonade from someone in your family, so you don't really have any costs. So, everything you make is pure profit. If you sell your lemonade for 10 cents a glass, then you need to sell only 10 glasses to make a dollar. Sell about 50 glasses and you'll have enough to see that cool new summer movie or buy that great new book or video game....Abdallah on Hair and Running a Small Business. Podcast at EconTalk.
Wafaya Abdallah of Oasis Hair Salon in Rockville, Maryland talks with EconTalk host Russ Roberts about the challenges and rewards of running a small business. Abdallah discusses her career path from would-be lawyer to owning her own salon with many employees and a management style that is different from the traditional one in her business. She discusses the economics of hair-cutting, how she motivates her employees to be part of the team, the openness of the salon's financial situation, the educational training she offers, and the ways she works with employees to motivate and inspire. You'll also learn how much her scissors cost.Bhide on Outsourcing, Uncertainty, and the Venturesome Economy. Podcast at EconTalk.
Amar Bhidé, of Columbia University and author of The Venturesome Economy, talks with EconTalk host Russ Roberts about the role of entrepreneurship and innovation in a global economy. Bhidé argues that the worries about outsourcing and America's alleged declining leadership in technology are misplaced. He argues that the source of prosperity is not technology per se but the application of technology to actual products that improve our lives and that the American venture system and labor market are very effective at the application of technology. The end of the conversation turns to the role of uncertainty in both venture capital and entrepreneurship but also to the role of financial institutions and financial innovation.Rauch on the Volt, Risk, and Corporate Culture. Podcast at EconTalk.
Jonathan Rauch, of the Brookings Institution and the Atlantic Monthly, talks with EconTalk host Russ Roberts about the evolution of the Chevy Volt, GM's planned electric car. Due to the transparency of GM's effort, Rauch was able to spend a great deal of time on site at GM writing a piece for the Atlantic Monthly on GM's plans and hopes. Rauch discusses the huge risks, GM's past failures, and GM's hopes that the Volt might change the company's culture. The conversation closes with a discussion of competitors and the implications for energy policy.Entrepreneurs react creatively to the changing marketplace: Virginia Postrel on Style. Podcast at EconTalk.
Author and journalist Virginia Postrel talks about how business competes for customers using style and beauty, going beyond price and the standard measures of quality. She looks at the role of appearance in our daily lives and the change from earlier times when style and beauty were luxuries accessible only to the wealthy. She also talks about her donation of a kidney to a friend and how that affected the intensity of her feelings about the policies surrounding organ donations....Patents, from the Concise Encyclopedia of Economics
The economic justification for patents is straightforward. If there were no patents, then someone who invested time and money to create an invention would not necessarily get a return on even a very valuable invention. The reason is that others could imitate his or her invention....Ethics in business: John Allison on Strategy, Profits, and Self-Interest. Podcast at EconTalk.
John Allison, CEO of BB&T Bank, lays out his business philosophy arguing for the virtues of profits, self-interest and production. His definition of justice, one of the core values of his firm, is that those who produce more, get more. He argues that Bill Gates would do more for the world improving Microsoft than running his foundation and giving away money. Allison praises Atlas Shrugged and refuses to let his bank make loans to companies that use eminent domain to acquire property. Is this any way to run a company? Does Allison really run his company this way? How does he deal with the gap between his philosophy and our popular culture's view of business and profits? Listen as Allison and host Russ Roberts discuss BB&T's unusual business strategy....More podcasts on Entrepreneurs and Entrepreneurship
A Little History: Primary Sources and References
Intrigue, murder, posthumous plagiarism, citations by Adam Smith, rediscovery by William Stanley Jevons a century later, and a stunning work on entrepreneurial risk, money, foreign exchange, and banking from the 1700s—what more could one ask for from an 18th century economist? Richard Cantillon offers fascination for historians and economists as much in death as he did in life....Joseph Alois Schumpeter, biography from the Concise Encyclopedia of Economics
Schumpeter was among the first to lay out a clear concept of entrepreneurship. He distinguished inventions from the entrepreneur's innovations. Schumpeter pointed out that entrepreneurs innovate, not just by figuring out how to use inventions, but also by introducing new means of production, new products, and new forms of organization. These innovations, he argued, take just as much skill and daring as does the process of invention....
Advanced Resources
Thomas McCraw of Harvard University talks about the ideas of Joseph Schumpeter from his book, Prophet of Innovation: Joseph Schumpeter and Creative Destruction. McCraw and EconTalk host Russ Roberts discuss innovation, business strategy, the role of mathematics in economics, and Schumpeter's vision of competition embodied in his most important idea--creative destruction.Risk, Uncertainty, and Profit, by Frank Knight on Econlib.
The particular technical contribution to the theory of free enterprise which this essay purports to make is a fuller and more careful examination of the rôle of the entrepreneur or enterpriser, the recognized "central figure" of the system, and of the forces which fix the remuneration of his special function....

How I funded my journey to volunteer in Tanzaniaby CCS Staff
When I was a junior in college, I decided I wanted to use my winter break of college to volunteer in East Africa. I had been studying Swahili for almost three years and I wanted the opportunity to really immerse myself in the culture and language of Tanzania, while being able to volunteer my time in the community. Here's how I raised the funds to support my journey of volunteering abroad.

Did you know that just three buffalo wings have 10 grams of fat? (Who eats just three?) This soup has all the spice, creaminess, and tang you crave--with a fraction of the fat.

This is an adaptation of my favorite chicken tortilla soup recipe. If you have the calories to spare, make some tortilla chips in the oven to eat with the soup and top with a bit of sour cream, cheese, avocado and anything else you like! It is very flavorful on it's own, though. Be sure to use high-quality enchilada sauce, as some brands can be greasy. I like to add other veggies in sometimes, such as carrots and squash.

Performance Metrics - Transportation - Pothole Repair
When moisture seeps into pavement, it expands when it freezes and contracts when it thaws. This flexing of the pavement, combined with the melted water and the stress of vehicular traffic, causes pavement to deteriorate and potholes to form. The Department of Transportation (CDOT) responds to potholes reported through 311's Customer Service Requests (CSR) system by mapping open pothole requests each morning and routing crews in geographic clusters so as to fill as many potholes as possible per day. This metric tracks the average number of days CDOT takes to complete pothole repairs per week. Total number of requests fulfilled per week is also available by mousing over columns. The target response time for pothole repairs is within 7 days. For more information about pothole repairs, see CDOT's pothole Frequently Asked Questions page: http://www.cityofchicago.org/content/dam/city/depts/cdot/PotholeFAQ_winter1011.pdf

text: You obviously have a serious problem. I'm not a pro, and I won't even venture a guess at what you should do other than to explore all of the options, including finding and repairing the leak. If it is under the concrete patio, remember that concrete can be cut and repaired so the entire slab would not have to be removed. This being the start of the week-end, many of the plumber pros that frequent the forum may not see this post until next week, so keep checking back. I'm sure you will get some valuable pointers and suggestions from them. But you should know that the PVC that would be used for replacing the whole main line should that be required, comes in long rolls and is not the ridged kind of PVC in your lawn sprinkler system.

While These Days, as Bryce notes is a landscape "of shiftless youth, rented flats, bread-and-butter jobs and millennial angst," Flynn's second collection Drives (2008) is a book of restless journeys, both real and imagined. In this collection a series of literary and historical figures also address 'drives' of more a Freudian nature, in what Flynn calls "Wikipedia poems" - "Everything you can fit into a sonnet about somebody's life". In these poems, Baudelaire's mother reaches breaking point and Elizabeth Bishop's asthma finally takes away her breath. One of the most arresting things about Flynn's poetry is that she alludes to and borrows from a broad literary tradition from Chaucer to Wordsworth, yet she wears this learning lightly and utterly without pretention.
'The Furthest Distances I've Travelled', which can be heard on this Archive recording, begins with the lure of backpacking as the narrator declares: "Yes. This is how/to live. On the beaten track, the sherpa pass, between Krakow/and Zagreb", as if "in restlessness, in anony/mity: /was some kind of destiny", but ends far closer to home, where souvenirs are less exotic: (cinema stubs, notes on postits and "crushed valentines") before settling on the conclusion which once again opens the poem out to a much wider, un-mappable landscape: "that the furthest distances I've travelled/ have been those between people. And what survives/ of holidaying briefly in their lives."
On this Archive recording, Leontia Flynn's voice is warm and chatty between poems, yet the poems themselves are much more controlled in their delivery, emphasising the silences between words.
This recording was made on March 2nd 2009 at The Audio Workshop, London and was produced by Anne Rosenfeld.

Hi-tech Embroidery
Embroidery has an unfairly old-fashioned image, probably because of the pious verses of the 19th century associating needlework with womanly virtue. So when we were developing the exhibition Extreme Textiles: Designing for High Performance, we were especially excited to find this embroidered implant. It may look like a doily, but it is a serious piece of biomedical engineering. Manufactured by Pearsall's Ltd.

text: I havn't done this in years, I suppose i just needed somewhere to vent and let it all out and maybe talk to people who might not really be there. I know from my last relationship that angry men and I don't mesh very well. Would I have known better with this one? No, apparently not. Although now its not abusive just verbal and its almost two ways only because of how angry I am. I should stop. I dont know. In the mean time, I have developed this new obsession with Chris thile.... random obsession. I could listen to him sing for hours and his smile is adorable! I mean absolutely adorable. I am almost determined to make him mine. Yes, make him mine. Not a realistic goal but its a goal. Ha, we'll see where I get with that. I swear though when I saw him at Brighton Music Hall he kept looking at me. could have been because i wanted him to but hey even if its in my head I'm happy with it. I'm going to see Punch Brothers in Aug at Lowell Music Festival, then hopefully I'll have a trip planned to go to NY to see then again and maybe get some passes to hang out with them... would be awesome.Why am I talking to my computer? I am typing it like your going to respong knowing fully that this is merely a comversation in my head. I've confided in stranger places so I suppoe this is ok but I'm not sure how I am going to feel about it this next time I want to talk. I should be ok with it. I dont know why I wouldn't... Maybe keeping all these entries I can print them oneday... have a hard copied online journal. If that makes sense to anyone. I had journals from when i was like 8 til when i was 19.. my ex made me rip them up in a control fit one night. Left me feeling a bit lost thinking I had let go a part of me and I still think I did let go a part of me with those journals... Well on that note I am going to end this entry."Well let's take some and take them all for granted" - Punch Brothers (Rye Whiskey)

These mitts were a great purchase...They work extremely on my Yamaha Grizzly 450...They are a must now for riding in Winter or wet weather...They keep your hands warmand dry...You can even wear them without riding gloves(although hands get cold/wet when youtake them out of mitts...REALLY like the hand-warmer pocket on the inside...They takea little bit to get used to they are definitely worth the inconvenience of "restricted handmovement"....Two of my riding buddies have bought a pair as well...The only complaint at all, would be the fact they don't fit over my hand guards...

Purchased this mitts due to an extensive web search. Rode with them twice in a week since purchase and truly amazed at the warmth. The temps here are hovering around mid 20's. I started the first day with the mitts installed and a fair pair of gloves. After 15 mins into my ride I had to remove the gloves because they were causing my hands to sweat too much. With a final mileage around 14+ each time, I truly had no issues with handlebar control of lack of warmth from these mitts. The Best cold weather item purchase I've invested in to date!!

i am going to keep it simple if it cold and you want warm hands you have to have them. I have a goldwing and the only problem i had was that i had to open the left seam to fit over my radio conltrol about a inch and that it they wrap around the handlebars tight and no drafts. To sum it up, get you a pair they are alot cheeper than heated gloves or heated grips and easier to install.

ATV Mitts is my second order and it protects the handel wirings. And it protects the handa from cold wind. This is great product. I recommend this for peolple who likes to adventure with thier ATV off the road.

These keep my hands warm but none of the controls are visible. You better know you machine well before you put these on. In addition, I cannot engage the lockers without partially removing the right mitt. When I opened my new pair, I noted a couple of spots of mud. They looked new but I think someone tried them and returned them. I am going to keep mine because I don't know of a better way to keep my hands warm while plowing snow, but these are not the most elegant solution.

These gauntlets are on my snow machine now, and I'm wondering why I didn't buy these years ago. I would have paid three or four times this amount at the local shops for these same gauntlets. Considering the quality and value of these, they are downright cheap! Why suffer with cold hands? If you have heated grips, all the better, because you could ride with light gloves or even without gloves on at all (I'm not kidding!). There are pockets for the self-heating handwarmer pads to fit in, for 5 or 6 hours of heat. They are insulated and fleece lined, and reasonably well stitched, and as long as you're not changing your grip too often, they don't get in the way of the controls. I may even use these for fall rides on my Gold Wing! Go ahead young pup, laugh all you want, but grandpa's staying warm!
