The AL-leading Boston Red Sox are thrilled that 13 of their first 16 games after the All-Star break will be at home.
The New York Yankees are mired in fourth place in the AL East and have to be hoping they can duplicate last year's success at Fenway Park - which they haven't visited in 2013.
These longtime rivals open a three-game set Friday night, and star second baseman Robinson Cano is expected to play for the Yankees after leaving the All-Star game with a leg injury.
Boston (58-39) starts a seven-game homestand against New York and second-place Tampa Bay in its first game at Fenway since July 4. The Red Sox lead the Rays by 2 1/2 games in the East.
"The most important thing for us is that we get off the road, we get back into this ballpark and feed off the energy of the people here in Fenway," manager John Farrell said. "We're looking forward to the start of this homestand."
The Yankees (51-44) are six games back as they start a seven-game road stretch that includes a series with Texas.
New York's primary concern this week was the condition of Cano. He hobbled off the field after being hit on the right leg by a pitch from Mets ace Matt Harvey in the first inning of Tuesday's All-Star game.
X-rays were negative, and Cano said it was a bruised quadriceps. He indicated that Yankees head athletic trainer Steve Donohue says he will be fine.
"Oh, yeah, they called Steve and everything is good with them," Cano said. "They said just put ice on it, the X-ray was negative, and get some rest."
Cano has two singles in 19 at-bats against Boston this year, with New York losing four of six. He only batted .200 last season at Fenway after entering the year with a career .355 average in Boston, but the Yankees captured seven of nine meetings.
The Red Sox lead the majors in numerous offensive categories, most notably runs (498), extra-base hits (338) and walks (357).
Those are departments in which the injury-plagued Yankees are lagging behind. New York is tied for 20th in runs with 373, is 28th in extra-base hits with 234 and 16th in walks with 273. The Yankees finished third in the major leagues in walks last year.
"We've got to be more consistent offensively," manager Joe Girardi said. "And if we do that, we're going to have a shot. But that's probably what we need to do, more than anything."
The season series has demonstrated how Boston has gotten contributions from different sources this year. Mike Napoli has a team-high six RBIs and Daniel Nava is second with five while Jose Iglesias owns a team-best 12 hits.
Napoli is looking forward to his first taste of this rivalry in Boston.
"I haven't experienced that yet," he said. "I'm pretty sure the atmosphere is going to be (great). I'm looking forward to it and I'm sure (Friday) is going to be a fun day."
Both teams will start left-handers with Boston's Felix Doubront (6-3, 3.91 ERA) matching up with Andy Pettitte (7-6, 4.39).
Doubront allowed one run over six innings June 1 to earn an 11-1 victory over the Yankees, giving him a 2-1 mark and 2.32 ERA in five starts against them.
Cano is 1 for 14 off of him.
Pettitte has gone 2-3 with a 5.35 ERA over his last six starts, although he won the last two. He earned a 4-2 victory over Boston on April 4 by yielding one run over a season-high eight innings.
The veteran last pitched at Fenway in 2010. He's 7-3 with a 4.05 ERA in 17 regular-season starts there.
Red Sox designated hitter David Ortiz is 21 for 56 (.375) with one homer against Pettitte.

Blackberry Mole at La Casita
Twelve of us dined at La Casita last night. We got much more than we bargained for. This tiny little restaurant that features the regional cooking of Puebla and Oaxaca deserves high praise. I know that blackberries are abundant in the forests of the hills of Oaxaca. So when Chef Ramiro said he was going to give us a sample of a special dish of mole de zarzamora, I was both a little skeptical and pleased. How can you go wrong with blackberries?
This was a dish to write home about. The fish was ordinary pollack, light and tasty, genorously laced in that dark mole sauce with a subtle flavor of the berries. It was a favorite dish of all those that we tasted last night.
Here's the menu. Some of this is from the regular menu and some of it was the chef's choice from whatever looked good at the produce market yesterday.
Tomato soup of rice and potatoes
Chilaquiles divorceadas
Tortillitas de camaron (little shrimp cakes dipped in batter, fried then laced with a red sauce with nopalitos)
Fish in zarzamora mole (blackberry mole)
Pork in pipian (green mole)
Chicken mole two ways. Half in red mole and half mole negro
Chiles en nogadas (stuffed with dried fruit and minced pork.) Yes, they still had pomegrante seeds.
Chiles rellenos with fresh corn and squash in chile rojo
Cauliflower dipped in egg batter and fried
Handmade corn tortillas with chile or cactus in the masa
Guavas in rompope (Mexican egg nog liquor)
Bananas in sweet cream.
If you want to try this for yourself you MUST call ahead so they can have the ingredients on hand. Also, it seems like that last few times we have gone to La Casita there has been a wait. So do call ahead if you plan to be their during dinner rush hour.
re: Dommy
You're lucky Dommy, my Mom only steamed the cauliflower. I loved the it cooked this way too. It seemed almost like there was a touch of something creamy in the middle...like crema fresca? Or the cauliflower developed a creaminess all on it's own. I could order this dish everytime I'm there. This recipe could convert a veggie-hater.
re: sassille
Nope, it's the cauliflower that turns all melty because the batter really protects it while it fries up so it doesn't dry out, but concentrate inside.... :)
re: Ernie
I was at the restaurant a couple of weeks ago and chef Jaime said if I called ahead he would do some lenten dishes for us. My little dinner party turned into a group of 12. So the Blackberry Mole and the rest of the menu evolved from his suggestions and ordinary menu orders from our party. One thing I noticed was that if you have a hankering to try three styles of mole, they sent out a chicken enchilada napped in the three sauces. It looked like a great way to see which one you like the best.
I can't emphasize enough that they can get crowded on weekends and you should try to call ahead. The kitchen is small and the place seats maybe 40. I think their local popularity has risen sharply since they started doing cooking segments on channel 34's early morning show, (I think it's called Univision?)
The meal was fabulous and that fish with the blackberry mole was definitely the star of the evening. I did take pics and will include a link to them once I get a chance to upload them.
re: teaeye
Here is a working link to their website:
re: teaeye
4030 E. Gage Ave.
It's about 1 mile west of the 710. It's a simple storefront located on the south side of the street next door to a tortillaria who makes their masa fresh for La Casita daily. I've been to so many Mexican restaurants on the eastside, IMHO this is the finest. (and I was born and raised in ELA having spent decades trying every little hole in the wall on the eastside!) The first experience I had at this place intrigued me. Their Queso Azteca was wrapped in banana leaves and served with ultra-fresh tortillas that had epazote leaves in the masa. I knew I had to go back and try random offerings from the rest of the menu. A favorite thing I like to order is the queso fundido with chorizo and just sit back with that and the hot tortillas.
Honestly, I prefer La Casita to Babita. Not just because their prices are pocket friendly, but the chefs have this mission to bring the food of their grandmothers to our table. I also MUCH prefer it over Monte Alban, where their mole was good but not THIS good. Also, I had a dismal experience at Monte Alban the first time I went and had to make an effort to return and give it another chance. Its good for Westside convenience. But that's all.
Here's what a restaurant critic has to say about La Casita. Scroll to the bottom of the article to find the review.
re: sassille
This is one of our favorite places but we try to go at odd hours to beat the crowd. Have you ever tried their white mole? It's only available on the weekends and we usually go during the week so I've never had the pleasure. It sounds sooooo good.
re: Neta
Yes, I have tried the white mole. It's a little mild for me. I prefer spicier foods. Its a blend of spices in a white sauce with white chocolate. It seems to me that the subtle white chocolate flavor subdues those spices I actually did try to order it at our last meal there so the rest of the party could taste it. The chef said they don't have it anymore. Maybe they would take a special request if you called ahead of time.
OOOH! BERRY mole!!!! chiles en nogadas!
Gotta get there! Gotta drag the Pup there (and he's now 16, so less easy to drag on 'hounding expeditions against his will!)
This is a place where you can have a true Mexican feast. None of the Tex-Mex shex.....
The blackberry mole w/ fish was outstanding! You have to call ahead to order it though. And don't forget to end with guavas in rompope (Mexican eggnog liquor). They are addictive! The chile relleno con hongos y nopales is on their regular menu and it is excellent.
Their regular mole negro is divine as well. One word of advice is not to fill up on the tortilla chips. They serve it with a bit of the red, green and black mole on top. It is the perfect preview into the caliber of sauces to be expected.
Once again I have had a fabulous Mexican meal and will continue to go back there. Ramiro and Jaime are not only great chefs, but awesome warm people as well.
Here's Jonathan Gold's take on this place from today's L.A. Weekly. I got a feeling it's going to get very crowded in this tiny little storefront in Bell.
re: sassille
Wonderful!! Everytime I think of them, it reminds me of the last great Mexican restaurant in Bell, Casa Frida. Which had such ambitions and actually got written up in the times, but never caught on. I hope this signals the opposite for them... :)
re: Dommy
Well, after all of this, I chose La Casita for my Birthday dinner and sadly, it did not live up to the hype. First, if you've never read chowhound, read the raves and articles, one would think that this place is your typical 'platillo' restaurant. The Enfrijoladas Jonathan mentioned, not on the menu, the Chilaquilles Divorciados Abby mentioned, not on the menu, the Fried Cauliflower above... again... not on the menu. The menu is basically meat plates, mole plates, two soups and flautas plates. There are intersting touches here and there, but nothing as impressive as the menu of Babita or even La Huasteca. They don't even offer a chef's tasting menu, like La Huasteca... I understand that many of those dinners written about have been 'special', but still, I expected the menu to reflect those meals.
The atmosphere is also very causual. It doesn't have the formality of Babita or La Huasteca. It's by no means a whole in the wall, but it doesn't really set a 'mood' either... And now to the chow...
We started with a Sopa de Habas, which was a unique touch, I love Habas! Sadly, the soup was very plain. It had a couple of slices of cactus which added NOTHING to the soup. There was no earthiness, no zing. It tasted like a standard split pea soup.
P. ordered the Purple Pozole because we LOVE pozole. ACK! Just like the previous soup it really lacked dimension. Even when you added the accompaniments. Plus it had this harsh Cumin note that overwhelmed everything. The Pozole at the Mercado La Paloma stand, Taqueria Villa Hermosa is 100% better than this.
To go with, he got the Enchilada Mole Sampler with Chicken. The Red Mole was flat. Much better version can be found at Gueleguetza. The Pipian was nice, but a bit grainy and not creamy. The Mole Poblano, was... to be honest... INFURIATING. Mole Poblano is my favorite version, nothing makes me more upset than people dismissing mole because 'it's too sweet... it's weird to have chocolate sauce on meat..." When you've had a GOOD mole poblano, it's not sweet, it's not chocolately... it's balanced, it's slightly spicy, it's nutty, it's smokey, it's so complex that if you didn't know Chocolate was in it, it's inclusion would be a surprise. This version can only be discribed one way... SWEET!! Bleh... For better Mole Enchiladas, I'd take Tamayos anyday...
My family mostly had meat plates. Again, nothing that made them go wow (Although they did think the little papas taco was cute). The Carne Asada really had no special flavor, just meat. The Cecina was nice, but as always a bit too salty for my taste. The handmade tortillas were wonderful and the beans the accompany spicy. The salsas were also VERY nice... So they did enjoy their meal.
And for me, I had the Chiles en Nogada. One of my FAVORITE dishes on this planet. I admit, I'm a harsh critic because I've had several version here in the U.S. as well as Mexico (including probably over 10 versions in Mexico City alone). Having just had Babita's version for Valentines day.. there is NO comparison. Again, the white sauce was painfully sweet, there was absolutely no note of the walnut flavor. The Chile was cooked very well... but the ground beef inside was so beefy and firm that it completely made the addition of raisins irrelevant.
There was one thing that La Casita made that DID completely blow me away. Their white rice. I am NOT kidding, that was some AMAZING rice. P. and my Bro totally agreed too... So when you go... get dish with the rice... It helped SAVE my plate of Chiles En Nogada.
To be honest, In the end, I wished I had taken my parents to Babita (Especially since my mother spent her Childhood in Mexico City and is a HARSH critic on Mexican food). But I must say I am glad that La Casita does exisit and I do wish them well, Their work does help elevate the cuisine, just not at a level that I hoped.

Patient Comments: Fibromyalgia - Treatments
What treatment has been effective for your fibromyalgia?
Comment from: Lori, 45-54 Female (Patient) Published: February 01
I was diagnosed about 24 years ago. Fortunately, I had a doctor who was very current with latest medical reports and research. Most meds prescribed (flexeril, and others) were not helpful and had side effects that were worse than the FMS. I eventually had to quit working and had a very rough time for years. In 2006 (or 2007?), I was asked by my rheumatologist to participate in the clinical trial for Lyrica. Although, the initial adjustment to the drug was tough, I found that after a couple of weeks, the side effects were manageable & the pain relief was remarkable. It turned out that I was given a high dosage (about 500mg) during the trial. After the trial period ended, I worked with my doc to achieve an optimum dose. I opted to cut back on the morning dose to 50 mg and take 225mg in the evening. I was simply too groggy during the day if I took more than 50mg. As a mother of 3 children, I chose to sacrifice some of the benefits so I could function most days. In addition to Lyrica, I take 800mg of metaxalone (Skelaxin) at night. Occasionally, I need to take metaxalone during the day if I have a "flare". I take ibuprofen throughout the day as needed. I keep stronger pain meds (tramadol & Tylenol 3) on hand to take during really bad times. Overall, these meds keep the flares at bay and allow me to have a relatively normal life most of the time.
Comment from: BSW, 55-64 Female (Patient) Published: January 20
Like so many of you, I believe I have had FMS for many, many years. I am 57 now and was diagnosed 3 years ago. My hometown doctor treated me for this or that for many years. He finally sent to a specialist who diagnosed me. I had to quit working in 2001 because the fatigue was so bad, I couldn't even speak. I didn't start having really bad pains until 2007. I had a horrible rash over my arms, legs, chest, and neck in 2006. I believe this is also related to FMS. I couldn't get disability because I quit working years before I was diagnosed. Just wanted to talk tonight. Thanks for reading.

Health care providers address problems involving the musculoskeletal system particularly the spine and neck. Their aim is to improve the overall spinal health of patients. People suffering from backache and neck pain frequently have an underlying problem with the alignment of the spine or may have muscle damage which prevents the back muscles from providing the correct support. They help realign the spine and relieve muscle tension with the use of various techniques. They can also treat joint problems, muscle spasms and ligament pain. Moreover, they stress the importance of correct posture from sitting, standing, to walking.
Comment from: 25-34 Female (Patient) Published: December 21
I am 28, and was diagnosed with Fibro about 6 years ago. I went in for extreme pain and fatigue, while my pain was all over, my elbows seemed to be the worst, so I became a lab rat for a few months to rule out everything else. I went on Lyrica, which did nothing but make me gain a lot of weight. I finally found a doctor that knows what he is doing. If I push myself too hard, the weather changes, I get to stressed, or a few other "normal" things, I get really bad flares. I feel hopeless some days, but I hold out hope that one day, something that actually works and treats Fibro will be found.
Comment from: gh, 45-54 Male (Patient) Published: October 05
I have had shoulder surgery and two neck surgeries to treat my pain. The surgeries did no good. The several doctors I had seen, finally decided they had no idea what was wrong with me and no suggestions what to do. My family doctor sent me to the clinic where I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia with just one visit. I have been taking Cymbalta, which has lowered my pain by at least one-third. I still struggle at times, but it has definitely improved my condition. By the way I am a 48 year old male. It is not just limited to women.
Comment from: 45-54 Female (Patient) Published: October 05
I was told I had fibro two years ago, but I believe it started long before that. I always had headaches or was always sick with something symptoms started with my two toes going numb then my knees started to ache swell shoot severe pain at times even actually glowed red in appearance. Sometimes it's my shoulders I actually pray for days that it's any body part other than my knees. I have a headache practically every day some mornings I wake up so stiff I literally have to crawl out of bed. Some days not many I have no symptoms at all. Have given up on working to unpredictable side effects of medication often make things worse. I have crying spells my skin crawls my legs jump and sweet a lot. I often wonder if it's this bad at 49 what is it going to be like when I'm 70.

EA has released a new video Q&A with Dead Space 2's exec producer Steve Papoutsis, who shows off the first ever screenshots of the game's upcoming 'Severed' download content.
Dead Space 2: Severed, as it's called, extends the sequel's single-player story with the addition of two standalone chapters featuring Dead Space: Extraction (Wii, PSN) leads Gabe Weller and Lexine Murdock.
In the DLC, the story of Weller and Lexine runs parallel to Isaac's vanilla adventure in Dead Space 2, but this time players will take on the role of Gabe Weller, who's working on the Sprawl as a security guard and has to fight the Necromorph to get both him and Lexine to safety.
Check out the video below for the first shots.

Have you read my book?
The Word Of God: Unleashing the Power of Scripture Memorization
Recent Posts
When I was young, I remember playing the old game of Concentration with my grandmother. It looked just like this picture. You took turns flipping tiles and had to find the matching pieces. Anyone else remember when it was on tv? <Cough>, oh yeah, me neither.
I am grateful for my church. It has been a good place for me and I have developed many friendships there. As with any body, there are always growing pains. One thing discussed at our small group tonight was that our church lacks glue. We do not have an assimilation leader or team, and therefore it can be difficult for people to get connected in the church and with other people, especially for those who are hurting or shy.
Of course the best solution is to pray about this. But instead of waiting for a committee to enact legislation, maybe it would be better to take a systemic approach. What if people just started taking it upon themselves to look for one person in church that day who they could help or just get to know.
What if a pastor took a moment during church and said something like this:"Take a moment and look around you. Every person you see needs something and also has something to give. Some people need more, some have more to give, but everyone has and needs something. Your mission, just like a giant game of Concentration, is to find out where the pieces fit."
This mission would be primarily for before or after church and during the week, as during church we should all be worshipping and listening to God together, but the rest of the time are we not called to find out where we each fit as cells in the body of Christ? It is only when we are all working together that we will truly fulfill our mission as the Church.
In heaven we will all know and be known, and we will all worship as one voice. In preparation for that, shouldn't we be attempting to know and unite with each other? Instead of waiting for a committee to make a system, if even a handful of people just started getting to know more people and their needs, that would spread, and people would be helped and encouraged, and from there leaders would step forth and systems would be created. Jesus didn't wave his hand and heal entire villages, He went person to person, and on that Rock He built His Church.
Jesus knows every detail about every person. He knows what is underneath every tile, and He knows where all the matching pieces are. If we ask Him to show us who we can help and who He wants us to get to know today, wouldn't He do just that?
When you find your matching piece, you win. And the cool part is that the game continues. As dynamic beings, our tiles (needs, states of mind, ) morph as we grow. So once you find a matching person for a moment or season, keep your eyes open for the next one, and develop a great collection of friends as you go.

Welcome, 2014
New Year's is not usually a big deal for me. It is just another number as time goes by. But this year, I felt a great sense of relief speckled with a bit of optimism at the calendar change.
2013 sucked. I am still tremendously thankful for many blessings throughout the year, but a few things were challenging and then one incredibly painful incident that transpired cast a dark shadow over the entire second half of the year.
And thinking back, the last six or seven years have been a very difficult season with a number of traumatic and painful events. So I was ready to be done with this valley.
Usually on New Years Day I am just looking forward to watching some terrific football games. But this year, on the morning of 1/1/14, I was walking around the house singing the Whoville Christmas song:
Fah who For-aze
Dah who dor-aze
Welcome, welcome, 2014!
I have no idea what this year holds, but I am hoping that things will be different.
See, I am doing a new thing!
Now it springs up; do you not perceive it?
I am making a way in the wilderness
and streams in the wasteland. Isaiah 43

You Are Not Alone
I like to sit in different places at church. Last week, I sat near the front. After the first worship song when we were instructed to greet those around us, the man behind me asked if I was visiting.
That struck me because I have been attending this church for a few years. It is a fairly large church for our area, so it is not surprising that I had not previously met him, but what hit me was why he would assume I was a visitor.
After the service, my new friend John and I talked about it a bit more. I asked him if he thought I might be a visitor because he knew the people that normally sit in that area and I was not one of them. He agreed that yes, that was the case. Let me just insert here that I was in no way offended by what transpired, just quite curious about this dynamic, as was John as we analyzed it.
Here is one reason this touches me: There are some people who come to church in deep emotional or mental pain, with no physical signs of distress. Often these people will sit in the back by themselves. If the people in our church who are able to help others always sit in their usual spot with their regular friends in the front, how will we ever reach the ones in the back?
And yet another disclaimer: Not everyone who sits in the back is hurting, and not everyone who sits in the front is emotionally available to help, so it is not just about the physical location, but the point is actively watching for those in need and breaking our routine in order to be available. Some people like to sit in one particular spot for whatever reason, and that is fine. But what if, once in a while, we sit somewhere else? At the very least, we could make some new friends. At the most, we could makes someone's day, or even save a life.
The message of the gospel is all about connection. We all need Jesus, and, like it or not, we need each other. The people that are feeling alone are not going to be the ones walking up to the front and introducing themselves to everyone. Sometimes, this is because the enemy of our souls is telling them lies like "You deserve to be alone," "Those people will only hurt you," or just putting them in such a state of depression and confusion that they might not even be able to realize why they do not want the connection with other people that they truly desire deep down inside.
Sometimes the loneliest place can be in a crowd of people. Even when there is a greeting time, the standard handshake with those around you quickly becomes rote. What good is it if we never even know their names? We talk about mission trips to foreign lands but what about the mission field that walks in and out of our church building every week?
Sometimes we need to catch certain people at church, I get that. Things need to be coordinated and Sunday morning is when everyone is in the same place. But let us never be so busy doing church business that we forget to be about the business of the church – which is connection.
How do I know these things? Because I was one of those people. 10 years ago I walked into a church, terrified and in tremendous internal pain. I stood all by myself in the lobby as many people walked by, and I threatened God that if He was real and wanted me there, He had better let me know, otherwise I was walking out and never coming back. I was already planning my next suicide attempt in my head.
Many people will come to church on Christmas Eve who do not normally attend. If one hurting person comes in feeling alone and then leaves after the service still carrying that burden of disconnection, we have failed as the church. Not that we need to have a long conversation or get anyone to dump their purse in the sanctuary, but just let them know that someone cares.
If we are all on the lookout for someone not smiling, or tearing up, or just standing by themselves, and just walk up, find out their first name, and tell them that you are glad they are there with us, that could make a world of difference for them. Somehow, just let them know that they are welcome there and that they are not alone. Let's not even ask if they are visiting for the first time, because that carries the connotation that they are an outsider. Make sure that they know that they are one of us. They might not be a Christian or go to a church, but they are a child of God, created in His image, and maybe no one ever explained that to them before.

JFK and the King
50 years ago today, John F. Kennedy was the most powerful man in the world. Money, fame, power, adored by a nation, influence around the globe; he seemed to have everything a person could want.
But in less than 3 seconds everything changed. The king of Camelot was instantly stripped of all titles and honor as he found himself face to face with the real King of kings. Suddenly nothing else mattered. All the hard work spent building his empire was now worthless. The election, the Cuban missile crisis, all the dramatic speeches encouraging and rallying the people, his stellar approval rating, none of that was anywhere near enough to buy him a ticket into heaven.
At that moment, there was only one thing that did matter – whether he knew and believed Jesus. That single item would determine his status for all eternity.
No one is promised tomorrow. No one is promised their next breath. "I'll come around to Jesus someday" does not work when you don't know which might be your last. He just wants you to know Him. All you have to do is tell Jesus you want to know Him, and the gates of heaven will swing open so that whether you live on this planet another five minutes or fifty years, your future in heaven will be secured.
Settle your eternity so you can enjoy your today.

The Georgia State Court knows what Miley Cyrus' alleged stalker did last summer. And now they know what he's going to be doing for the next two years.
Mark McLeod, the 53-year-old who turned up to the Georgia set of Cyrus' Last Song over the summer claiming secret messages on his TV led him to believe he was engaged to the 16-year-old, struck a deal this morning.
As expected, in exchange for a guilty plea for misdemeanor obstruction of police and disorderly conduct, McLeod was sentenced to 24 months' probation (minus three months for time already served), was told to refrain from using a computer for two years (good luck enforcing that one), was banished from Chatham County, will undergo a mental health evaluation, and was ordered to steer clear of Cyrus and her family. In turn, the most serious charge of stalking was dismissed.
Chatham County State Court Chief Judge Gregory Fowler also told McLeod to report for his mental health assessment next Thursday; if follow-up treatment is deemed necessary, that too will become a required term of his probation.
Now if only the judge could do something about that cat-eating crazy, Miley'd be all set.
Good to know her personal drama hasn't crimped her style. See what we mean with a click through our Fashion Spotlight: Miley Cyrus gallery.

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama's massive stimulus measure has created or saved as many as 3.3 million jobs and continues to boost economic growth in the second half of 2010. But it's coming at a higher pricetag than originally billed.
Congressional analysts released new figures Tuesday estimating that the law enacted in January of 2009 — then projected to cost $787 billion over a decade — would cost $814 billion. That's still lower than the Congressional Budget Office estimated in January, when it said the measure would cost $862 billion.
The report comes 10 weeks before midterm congressional elections in which Republicans are hammering Democrats and Obama on the economy, charging they've pushed runaway spending without creating promised jobs.

We get a lot of mail at NPR Music, and amid the reminders that interest rates have never been lower is a slew of smart questions about how music fits into our lives — and, this week, how our love of music competes with the gnat-like attention spans of modern humanity.
Mimi Epstein writes: "You have to listen to and critique a huge amount of new music. What do you do while listening? Is it background noise? Are you giving it your full attention? What's your recommended way to really listen?"
There are almost as many answers to your core question — "How should people listen to music?" — as there are music listeners. But part of my job is to cast around for discoveries, to dig through an impossibly gigantic heap of new music in search of songs that animate and excite me, and that takes a certain measure of concentration.
It's perfectly reasonable to throw a gigantic iTunes playlist on shuffle and see what breaks through enough to enter my field of consciousness, and to assume that the great stuff will flick me behind the ear and announce itself. But it's incredibly rare for me to find songs I love without actively looking for them. Passive listening is fine when I'm trying to drown out Bob Boilen's gong and get some work done. Active listening, and engaging with the work at hand, is how I'm able to wrap my head around a piece of music enough to write about it.
As for recommended ways to listen, I'm eager to pull out new music in any context that calls for mindlessness in solitude. For me, this usually means commuting, which in my case generally means driving; my minivan has 160,000 miles on it, and I often joke that I'll never bother to replace it until the CD player gives out. For others, it can mean long walks, exercise, doing the dishes … heck, I often wear headphones at my neighborhood grocery store, where automated checkout generally means I never once interact with another human being.
Finally, when I'm judging whether or not I like a piece of music — or deciding what to write when inspired to do so — it's difficult for me to comfortably experience a new song in the company of other people who aren't my kids. (And even they inevitably interject with their opinions; my 8-year-old daughter once piped up from the backseat to announce that Sufjan Stevens' holiday song "Ding-a-Ling-a-Ring-a-Ling" is "the most annoying song anyone has ever written.") I most trust my own opinions about music when they're not influenced by the judgment of others.
Darrell Ford writes: "How does one prepare an interesting soundtrack that doesn't overpower conversation for a small (four to eight guests) dinner party?"
Before I get to the tone you're trying to set, let's start with volume: The surest way to overpower conversations, whether you're a dinner-party host or a bar, is to blare whatever you're playing at a level loud enough to rattle fillings. As someone who invests a lot of personal vanity into song selections — "Love my music, love me!" — I have to remind myself that guests aren't a focus group chosen in the hopes that they'll validate my handpicked playlist. Whatever you play, play it loud enough to be heard, but not louder than any given non-secret conversation.
Rather than fussing over trying to sequence a perfect playlist, I recommend simply selecting an album that suits the occasion. My go-to picks for dinner-party soundtracks — and here's where I admit that I only throw one dinner party per year, and it features a fried-chicken-eating contest in lieu of music — are albums that I love in their entirety, but aren't overly familiar to any given person present. The Best of Chet Baker Sings, Shuggie Otis' Inspiration Inspiration (which is about to get a deluxe reissue), or just about anything by Edith Piaf ought to work great, with the added bonus of making you sound like the sort of suave sophisticate who listens to that sort of thing.

Teachers who visit homes well-received by parents
BY FRAN SPIELMAN AND MITCH DUDEK Staff Reporters June 23, 2011 7:50PM
Kindergarten teacher Emily Wilson says visiting homes helped her persuade parents to support longer school days. | Rich Hein~Sun-Times
Updated: June 24, 2011 4:52AM
Parent Mariana Chavez welcomes teachers from UNO charter school when they visit her Chicago home, because it helps her get to know her kids' teachers and shows them just how important teachers are.
"Children need to know that the parent and the teacher do have a true relationship,'' Chavez said. ". . . Anyone who's allowed in our home is part of our family — and that's how children should see them."
On Thursday, Chicago Public Schools officials floated the idea of having teachers visit the homes of all 400,000 students in the district.
United Neighborhood Organization CEO Juan Rangel said teachers at his nine schools have been visiting students' homes twice each year for the last few years. The visits are in addition to parent-teacher conferences at school.
"It helps cement the relationship between the school and the home and the teacher and the parents," Rangel said.
UNO kindergarten teacher Emily Wilson said that sitting in the living rooms of her students' homes, and sometimes having dinner with their families, helped immeasurably in persuading parents to buy into a plan for a longer school day and year at the school.
"When we rolled out this plan, I had a very comfortable working relationship with my parents. The parents' response to the new calendar was overwhelming acceptance, excitement. The only complaint I heard was, 'Why not more days?' " she said.
While expanding home visits to all students would be a new undertaking for CPS, for the past five years the Chicago Youth Advocate Program has sent 150 workers to the homes of high-risk students from schools all over the city.
The visits "give you a whole different view of the student, a better understanding,'' said David Williams, regional director of the program.
Rank-and-file teachers at non-charter schools had a mixed reaction to the proposal.
Catherine Tunney, a kindergarten teacher at James Ward School in Bridgeport, said it isn't a "hugely radical idea'' and said some teachers already visit homes. She said some teachers "would welcome it and some . . . would probably freak."
But not all parents will be receptive to the idea, said Diane Montag, a sixth-grade teacher at Haines Elementary School in Chinatown. While some parents are "honored'' to have a teacher visit, others "feel government representatives are coming into their homes and feel violated,'' she said. She also said interpreters or even security escorts could be needed in some cases.
"I've visited students in projects before, and there is risk involved. You have to be careful,'' she said.

FORT HANCOCK, Texas — After a bad day on the job as a Border Patrol agent, Eddie DeLaCruz went home and began discussing with his wife how to celebrate her upcoming birthday. Then he casually pressed his government-issued handgun under his chin and pulled the trigger.
"It was the ugliest sound I ever heard in my life," his widow, Toni DeLaCruz, recalled of that day last November. "He just collapsed."
By Doug Wyllie, PoliceOne Editor in Chief
Sometimes the greatest battle officers find themselves facing is the one you can't always see being fought. It's a battle in the mind and it can be deadly. With increasing job stress combining with escalating stresses in many officers' personal lives, staying alert for signs of an "internal threat" to your fellow officers can be just as critical as watching for threats coming from the outside. Here are a few things you can do:1.) Educate yourself on the signs and symptoms of depression. There are many and they can easily be located on the Internet. Just a few of the things to watch for:
• An officer who suddenly begins taking unnecessary risks on and off duty • A shift in attitude and demeanor, like a change from motivated and professional behavior to apathetic and flippant • Statements of hopelessness like, "None of this really matters anyway. I don't even know why we try out here. We can't really do anything anyway. This is a losing battle and I'm tired of it." • Loss of interest in recreational things the officer used to like to do previously • The sudden use of "terminal"-type comments like, "Hey, you'll take care of my family if something happens to me and I'm not here anymore, right?" or "Listen, if I end up dead I want you to make sure you tell so and so such and such," etc. • Noticeable physical changes: weight loss, lack of usual hygiene, an exhausted appearance, etc. • Increased drinking or signs of drug use
Continue reading Spotting the potential signs of officer suicide
A month later, one of DeLaCruz's colleagues at the Fort Hancock border post put a bullet through his head, too.
Suicides including these have set off alarm bells throughout the agency responsible for policing the nation's borders. After nearly four years without a single suicide in their ranks, border agents are killing themselves in greater numbers. Records obtained by The Associated Press show that at least 15 agents have taken their own lives since February 2008 _ the largest spike in suicides the agency has seen in at least 20 years.
It's unclear exactly why the men ended their lives. Few of them left notes. And the Border Patrol seems somewhat at odds with itself over the issue.
Federal officials insist the deaths have nothing to do with the agency, which has doubled in size since 2004, or the increasingly volatile U.S.-Mexico border. But administrators have quietly undertaken urgent suicide-prevention initiatives, including special training for supervisors, videos about warning signs and educational programs for 22,000 agents nationwide.
"It's a microcosm of life," said Christine Gaugler, head of human resources for Customs and Border Protection, the agency that oversees the Border Patrol. "There's no uptick. It has nothing to do with our hiring. We are just responding to the suicides that have occurred."
The agency declined to provide details of the suicides and would only confirm the number of deaths since 2008. But the AP uncovered the names, locations and dates of the suicides by reviewing public records, including those obtained from medical examiners through the Freedom of Information Act, and speaking with federal officials who spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to talk about this issue.
People who had seen the training video also provided the AP a copy of it, along with information about what steps federal officials have taken to address the suicides.
The 17-minute video made earlier this year is part tribute to the dead and part cautionary tale. It implores agents battling depression or stress to ask for help _ a candid suggestion for an agency that once forbid agents from appearing in uniform at the funerals of colleagues who killed themselves.
The video was made by the agency's El Paso sector following at least four suicides among its agents, and it has been embraced by other sectors. In the video, El Paso agent Edmundo Puga Jr. describes getting a call about a suicide.
"At first I get upset, thinking, 'Not another one,'" Puga said. "Or, 'Here we go again.'"
All but two of the recent deaths involved agents stationed in Texas, California or Arizona.
In interviews with the AP, Border Patrol officials and families of the dead agents pointed to both professional and personal reasons.
The job, which starts at about $37,000 a year, has changed dramatically since the hiring surge began. Two years ago, an agent at a busy border station might have processed 150 illegal crossers a day.
But stepped-up border security _ including 600 miles of fence and an even larger "virtual" fence that is monitored online _ have reduced the number of illegal crossings, as has the economic hardship of the recession.
The result is a job that went from thrilling to downright boring. Agents often spent 12-hour shifts sitting alone in Jeeps and pickups keeping watch for illegal immigrants.
"Now an agent may start his shift and sit in one position for eight hours and monitor traffic and do their work," said psychologist Kenneth Middleton, clinical director of the Border Patrol's peer-support program. "Now they've got a whole lot of time to think about other things going on in their life."
Despite the boredom, the potential for danger is constant, especially in places where the border has been wracked by a bloody drug war in Mexico.
Agents face hostility from many of the people they encounter in the desert. In June, a Border Patrol agent in El Paso shot and killed a 15-year-old Mexican boy in the dry bed of the Rio Grande. Authorities said the teen and others were throwing rocks at the agent from the Mexican side while he was trying to arrest illegal immigrants. The incident resulted in a tense standoff between armed federal agents from both Mexico and the U.S.
The story rang familiar to Mark Monsivais, whose daughter, Julia, committed suicide in July 2009. He said people hurled chunks of concrete at the 24-year-old agent during her three years in Yuma, Ariz.
Other times, he said, his daughter complained of lagging backup patrolling a dangerous and barren stretch known as "Devil's Corridor." She worried about running into drug traffickers but more often stumbled on dehydrated migrants collapsed in the sand, their legs twitching.
"It's transparent to us, the people that are here, that the job is a definite factor. They're under an enormous amount of stress," Monsivais said.
"If they do something wrong," he added, "it's an international incident."
The job was so dangerous the family has doubts about whether it was suicide. Relatives wonder whether Julia could have been killed by shady characters she met on patrol.
Suicide rates are generally higher among law enforcement than the general population, but the Border Patrol's recent troubles put the agency even above those numbers.
The rate of suicides nationally is about 12 per 100,000 people, according to the Centers for Disease Control. Law enforcement rates are about 20 per 100,000, while the Border Patrol's pace has the agency hovering in the upper 20s to low 30s per 100,000.
Some families said working for the Border Patrol had no bearing on their loved one's suicide. The parents of 29-year-old Charles Glenn Becker, who killed himself in May 2009 in Comstock, Texas, said he was up for promotion.
But Juan Tellez, the guard who committed suicide a month after DeLaCruz last fall, didn't think a promotion was in his future. His girlfriend, Christina Vasquez, said Tellez constantly butted heads with his supervisor over schedules and assignments. Tellez desperately wanted a transfer and turned to Fort Hancock's union steward for help _ agent Eddie DeLaCruz.
DeLaCruz's suicide put her boyfriend over the edge. A month later, he stumbled home drunk, grabbed the gun from his holster and blew a hole as large as a coffee mug through his head.
Vasquez, four months' pregnant with their first child, was in the room.
"He loved being in Border Patrol," she said. "But toward the end when he was in that shift, he would call me for two hours and just go on and ramble."
Vasquez and DeLaCruz's widow agreed that the rush to double the agency's ranks caused it to overlook morale.

"The agency does run these agents to the fullest," Vasquez said. "'Protect, protect' as if they're robots and they're not. They're human beings."

A county manager is an administrative official at the county level who manages daily operations. It is usually necessary to have an advanced degree to serve in this position, along with some experience in county administration. The job has a very large scope and may involve long hours as well as considerable public accountability. As the administrative face of the county, the county manager reports to elected officials as well as members of the public with concerns about county policies and activities.
This administrative official must oversee all county departments. Counties typically administer agencies to handle issues like child welfare, traffic safety, and building. The county manager checks on these departments, participates in hiring and firing decisions, and works with agency representatives on policy recommendations and related topics. This requires knowledge of what each department does, who works in every department, and how the departments operate. Some county managers may come from a background in a county department and thus have extra familiarity with its operations.
County managers also maintain administrative staffs to support their work and that of other county officials. They coordinate with a human resources department on staffing topics from arranging leave for pregnant employees to hiring new staff. County managers also typically work closely with accounting departments to address funding, budgetary issues, grant applications, and related topics. Networking financially is important, as the county cannot run out of money for daily operations or it will be unable to meet the needs of the public.
Public officials may expect a briefing from the county manager. This can occur at events like board of supervisors meetings as well as in private communications between the county manager and elected officials. At public meetings, this member of the county administration may be called upon for formal testimony related to a topic of discussion at the meeting. Staff members may want to know, for example, which county departments are most in need of funding, or how the county makes hiring decisions.
In addition to working in an office setting, the county manager also travels. She may have access to a number of agencies in the same building but could need to travel to various sites around the county. She must be mobile for meetings with personnel who may not be able to come into the office. The hours can get long in a civil emergency such as a bad weather warning or a security threat, and the county manager must be prepared to stay late or come in early as needed.

Comment on Horses making more Progress by Erik/Amish America.
Glad you enjoyed it Amy Jo…as for going next year, great idea…and here is what Mary wrote me about the schedule for the next few Horse Progress Days gatherings:
In 2013, it will be in Arthur, ILL and in 2014 it will be in Mt. Hope, Ohio.
It moves between Lancaster, Mt. Hope, Northern Ind, Southern Ind, Illinois and Michigan in a 6 year rotation…. that way not any one group has to do all of the traveling.

Most of the photos on this site were extracted from reference images (high-resolution tiffs, 20 to 200 megabytes in size) from the Library of Congress research archive. (To query the database click here.) Many were digitized by LOC contractors using a Sinar studio back. They are adjusted by your webmaster for contrast and color in Photoshop before being downsized and turned into the jpegs you see here.
Vintage photos of:
Pittsburgh circa 1914. "Liberty Avenue and skyscrapers." The Steel City grows up and up. 8x10 inch glass negative, Detroit Publishing Company. View full size.
Michael R, to fill in one blank: The tall, ornate building on the far right is the former HQ of the forerunner of PNC Financial. It stood at NW corner of 5th & Wood and was torn down to build One PNC Plaza. Behind it, barely visible, is the former Farmers Bank Building, which was torn down---after a horrific 1960s renovation---for the new Lazarus department store. I am intrigued by the foreground of the photo. I am betting the photo was taken from the top of the Diamond Bank Building. You can see the shadows of letters in the photo. There is a pic of the rooftop letters on the Shorpy's web site.
I can see two buildings designed by D. H. Burnham & Co. of Chicago in this view: 1) Union Station (1898-1903), the hazy square block at the "end" of Liberty Avenue; and 2) the Oliver Building (1908-1910), seen here from the back as a 3-part structure with two deep light courts in the right-center background. Both are still standing. Other than the peculiar Keenan Building (at left, with the dome), I cannot identify the other tall buildings. Can anyone fill in the blanks?
Last time I ran the 'Burgh Marathon, we finished down Liberty to Point Park.Who knows the town well enough to tell us if any of these buildings are still there (many details of one's surroundings blur during miles 24 to 26.2)?
