Looking at Alex Rodriguez's numbers are amazing when one sees he is only 32 years old.
He already has hall of fame numbers the likes of Willie McCovey, Eddie Matthews, Ernie Banks and others.
But every time I see this kind of thing I can't help but wonder. Is he using or not?
I have no idea. Just kind of taints it for everyone in the game. Even those who don't use. I still suggest they make it legal. May as well. At least get out and into the open.
Anyway, if he stays healthy he should overtake Bonds.

The rookie's no-hitter almost makes me want to be a baseball fan again. No obvious help from performance enhancing drugs. The next Greg Maddux? By the way anyone know if Prince Fielder related to Cecil - my favorite player of the 90's?
Growing up in the NYC metropolitan area in the 60's and 70's I was a Yankee fan too. During the days of Murcer, White, Michael, Clarke, Alou, Pepitone, Munson, (saw Mantle ground out a couple of times), Howard, Boomer Bloomberg, and more.
Remember Reggie Jackson throwing a guy out at the plate from right and receiving a standing ovation. The very next half of the inning he walked and got picked off first only to be booed and fans screaming "bum". Only in NY!

I will put this post here until my sports of tennis and hockey are DB recognized as combat games with martial arts significance.
The intro i read on this video, was that if you thought Wayne Gretzky was the greatest hockey player ever, then you were too young to know Bobby Orr. He was the strongest and fastest skater, best shooter, best playmaker, best with stick control, best puck handler, best defense, best hitter, best vision of the whole ice. etc. etc. FWIW, now with helmets and face masks, you will never again see players with this kind of vision for everything in play. Enjoy 7 minute highlights of Boston's no. 4.

Bobby Murcer

It's hard to think the time has gone by. I remember the summers listening to the radio and watching the TV hoping that Murcer would live up to the hype of being the next Mickey. He never lived up to Mickey on the field. But he lived up to (and surpassed) Mickey off the field. He was a very good player but never reached the star status. But I do not recall anything bad ever written about him as a person.
He played during a time period when batting averages, home runs and runs batted in declined. Before the explosion of numbers came with the explosion of performance enhancing drug use. If he played today or in the 90s he would probably have acumulated 500 not 250 home runs. As a Yankee fan growing up I join the rest of the fans and am saddened by the loss.
Ex-Yanks star, broadcaster Bobby Murcer dies at 62
By BEN WALKER, AP Baseball Writer Sun Jul 13, 4:01 AM ET
NEW YORK (AP) Bobby Murcer succeeded Mickey Mantle, played in pinstripes with Don Mattingly and watched proudly from the broadcast booth when the New York Yankees returned to power.
A cherished link from former Yankees greats to the club's current stars, Murcer died Saturday due to complications from a malignant brain tumor, the team said. He was 62.
In his final moments, Murcer was surrounded by family at Mercy Hospital in his hometown of Oklahoma City, the Yankees said. A five-time All-Star outfielder, he spent nearly four decades with New York as a player, executive and announcer.
"Bobby Murcer was a born Yankee, a great guy, very well-liked and a true friend of mine," owner George Steinbrenner said. "I extend my deepest sympathies to his wife Kay, their children and grandchildren. I will really miss the guy."
Murcer was diagnosed with a brain tumor on Christmas Eve 2006 after having headaches. He had surgery that week in Houston and doctors later discovered the tumor was malignant. Determined to be around his beloved Yankees, Murcer returned to the broadcast booth last year and briefly this season.
The only person to play with Mantle and Mattingly, the popular Murcer hit .277 with 252 home runs and 1,043 RBIs in 17 seasons with the Yankees, San Francisco and the Chicago Cubs. He made the All-Star team in both leagues and won a Gold Glove.
"All of Major League Baseball is saddened today by the passing of Bobby Murcer, particularly on the eve of this historic All-Star game at Yankee Stadium, a place he called home for so many years," commissioner Bud Selig said. "Bobby was a gentleman, a great ambassador for baseball, and a true leader both on and off the field. He was a man of great heart and compassion."
Always a fan favorite in New York and known for his folksy manner as a broadcaster, Murcer won three Emmy Awards for live sports coverage. His most dramatic words came during his time as a player on one of the saddest days in Yankees history.
Murcer delivered one of the eulogies in Ohio after captain Thurman Munson was killed in a plane crash in August 1979. The team flew home after the funeral and, that night, Murcer hit a three-run homer and then a two-run single in the bottom of the ninth to beat Baltimore 5-4.
A tearful Murcer fell into the arms of teammate Lou Piniella after the game and gave his bat to Munson's wife.
"There is no way to explain what happened," Murcer said. "We used every ounce of strength to go out and play that game. We won it for Thurman."
The Yankees learned of Murcer's death Saturday after a 9-4 victory in Toronto. Visibly upset, players such as Mariano Rivera, Derek Jeter and Andy Pettitte spoke softly about how much Murcer meant to them.
"He touched everybody," Rivera said.
"One of the greatest Yankees of all-time," Alex Rodriguez added. "One of the greatest human beings I ever met."
It was the second consecutive summer that the Yankees lost a former star and beloved broadcaster. Hall of Fame shortstop Phil Rizzuto died in August 2007.
Now, the Yankees are mourning Murcer.
"If there's a Hall of Fame for people, he's in it," Reggie Jackson said. "He was such a good person, and he was appreciative of the people who cared so much for him."
Touted by many in New York as the next Mantle they were both from Oklahoma, played shortstop and came with strokes fit for Yankee Stadium's short right-field porch Murcer made his major league debut as a 19-year-old player in 1965.
After serving in the U.S. Army during the 1967-68 seasons, Murcer homered on opening day in front of President Nixon in 1969 at Washington to launch a career as a full-time player.
Murcer moved from shortstop to third base to begin that year, but soon was in center field, Mantle's old spot. Murcer also took over Mantle's locker.
"That was supposed to be the tag. You know, he was going to follow Mantle and do it with ease," said Los Angeles Dodgers manager Joe Torre, who managed the Yankees from 1996-2007. "He certainly understood it. It's not easy, but he wore the mantle with a lot of class and never shied away from the responsibility.
"Bobby was a great human being. He really zeroed in on the person he was with, and he was a lot of fun. A lot of class. He's going to be missed."
Murcer spent most of his career in pinstripes. He was traded to San Francisco for Bobby Bonds after the 1974 season and was with the Chicago Cubs when the Yankees won the World Series in 1977 and 1978.
He came back to the Yankees during the 1979 season. He had a pinch-hit grand slam in the 1981 opener and was a part-time player when he reached the World Series for the only time later that year, with New York losing to the Dodgers.
"Just a wonderful person, a great teammate and a heck of a baseball player," Piniella said in Chicago after managing the Cubs to a victory over San Francisco. "It's a sad day."
During his career, Murcer had a three-homer game, hit for the cycle and once homered in four straight at-bats.
Smart at the plate, he beat out Willie Mays in 1971 to lead the majors in on-base percentage. The next year, Murcer set career highs with 33 homers and 96 RBIs, and led the AL in total bases and runs. He finished with more career walks (862) than strikeouts (841).
Murcer made the All-Star team for five straight seasons, starting in 1971.
"He was a tough man," Yankees manager Joe Girardi said, fighting back tears. "He was a great Yankee, but probably more importantly he was a great friend. He always put others first. He played the game the right way. He got what life was about, and that was making life better for the people around you."
Murcer retired in June 1983 and moved into the broadcast booth that season, working as a color analyst on radio. He served one year as assistant general manager of the Yankees, returned as an announcer in 1989 and stayed in the booth as New York won four World Series titles from 1996-2000.
"He always had that bright smile and that positive spin on everything," Yankees slugger Jason Giambi said. "He was the type of guy who never had a bad day."
Murcer also served as chairman of B.A.T., the Baseball Assistance Team charity that provides financial help and other support to players in need.
"I've never met a more genuine person," Yankees broadcaster Michael Kay said. "What he went through the last couple of years no one should ever have to go through, but he went through it with such grace. He was an amazing, amazing guy. He was a piece of work in the best way possible."
A family service will be held within the next several days in Oklahoma City. In addition, a celebration of Murcer's life will be held at a date to be determined, the Yankees said.
Murcer is survived by his wife, his children, Tori and Todd, and his grandchildren.

Well at least he is honest. He seems like a geniunely good person. I remember someone telling me he was quite gracious signing an autograph for a young relative even while being asked/distrubed during dinner at a restaurant with his family (he reportedly has a brother bigger than him).
The "steroid era" as he puts it, not only admits his but basically says steroid use was rampant among all/most players.
It may still be. I don't know.
I used to be a big buff on baseball stats. Should he be in the Hall. I don't know. He would have been a great home run hitter anyway (I think) though he certainly wouldn't have hit 70 any more than Sosa would have broken 60 or Bonds would have hit 73.
Now if only I could get the music industry admit to all the lies &they all sing stolen lyrics and they are all a bunch of lying low lives....Sorry, I am bitter...
****In a statement released by the St. Louis Cardinals, McGwire said that he began using steroids in the late 1980s and used them on occasion throughout the 1990s, including the 1998 season, when McGwire captivated the nation by hitting 70 home runs to break the all-time single season record of 61 held by Roger Maris.
McGwires statement comes as he prepares to return to baseball as the hitting coach for the Cardinals, the team he played for when he set the home run record.
Now that I have become the hitting coach for the St. Louis Cardinals, McGwire said, I have the chance to do something that I wish I was able to do five years ago. I never knew when, but I always knew this day would come. Its time for me to talk about the past and to confirm what people have suspected. I used steroids during my playing career and I apologize.
McGwire said that he briefly used steroids in the off-season before the 1990 season and then resumed using them after he was injured in 1993. McGwire retired after an injury-marred 2001 season, in which he played in only 97 games and hit .187.
I wish I had never touched steroids, he said in the statement. It was foolish and it was a mistake. I truly apologize. Looking back, I wish I had never played during the steroid era.
McGwire is one of dozens of players from the past two decades who have been tied to the use of performance-enhancing drugs. Last year it was revealed that Sammy Sosa, who dueled with McGwire for the home run record in 1998, tested positive for performance-enhancig drugs in 2003.
Im sure people will wonder if I could have hit all those home runs had I never taken steroids, McGwires statement read. I had good years when I didnt take any and I had bad years when I didnt take any. I had good years when I took steroids and I had bad years when I took steroids. But no matter what, I shouldnt have done it and for that Im truly sorry.
McGwires statement confirmed what had widely assumed within baseball and what has damaged McGwires chances in the last four years of balloting for the Hall of Fame; in none of them, did he come anywhere near the number of votes he needed for induction.****

fastest pitch
Reply #6 on:
September 25, 2010, 11:51:17 AM »
105 mph! I looked up his size - 6'4" but onlty 185 pounds. Pretty lanky. All leverage and technique. Like Brazalian ju jsitsu masters:
***Chapman throws fastest pitch ever recorded
By Steve Henson, Yahoo! Sports
Aroldis Chapman(notes) was summoned from the bullpen one batter too late to make a difference in the game. No matter. The 22-year-old Cincinnati Reds left-hander made do by making history Friday night, throwing the fastest pitch recorded in a major league game, a 105-mph fastball.
Ardolis Chapman's 25 pitches on Friday night (each registering 100 mph or faster, including his record-breaking 105 mph heater) must have been a blur to Padres batters.
(Christopher Hanewinckel/US Presswire)
The blazing pitch pushed a white-hot pennant race to the back burner. Yes, the San Diego Padres won the game 4-3 to pull ahead of the Atlanta Braves in the National League wild-card race. Sure, the San Francisco Giants all but buried the Colorado Rockies thanks to a dominant performance by Tim Lincecum(notes).
But the lingering memory was of a now-you-see-it, did-I-actually-see-it fastball to Tony Gwynn(notes) in the eighth inning. The pitch was not a fluke: Chapman threw 25 pitches in his 1 1/3 innings of relief, and every one was at least 100 mph. He didnt throw a slider. He didnt throw a changeup. Why would he?
More From Steve HensonJamie McCourt is admittedly clueless Sep 21, 2010 Latos belongs in the NL Cy Young discussion Sep 11, 2010 From Walter Johnson to Bob Feller to Steve Dalkowski to J.R. Richard to Nolan Ryan to Stephen Strasburg, blistering velocity is etched forever in baseball lore. Rush Chapman to the head of the list. Has anybody in the history of the game had a comparable 25-pitch sequence?
I didnt see it until the ball was behind me, Gwynn said. I was trying not to look at the radar reading because Id be intimidated. I saw how hard he was throwing and just tried to be slow and work my hands.
The 105-mph pitch was inside for a ball and evened the count at 2-2. Gwynn had fouled off the previous two pitches and fouled off the next before striking out. He ought to be pleased with his effort, forcing Chapman to make seven pitches, the slowest of which was 102 mph.
Gwynns father, Tony, a Hall-of-Famer and one of baseball greatest hitters, never saw a pitch as fast as the one Chapman threw. Maybe nobody else has, either. Since radar guns were introduced in the 1980s, the fastest pitch recorded was 104.8 mph by Joel Zumaya(notes) of the Detroit Tigers in a playoff game Oct. 10, 2006. Chapman, who defected from the Cuban national team in 2009, was clocked at 104 on Sept. 1 in his second major league appearance and also hit 105 mph with a pitch for Triple-A Louisville earlier this season.
Chapman, speaking through an interpreter with bags of ice strapped across his arm, credited his stepped-up velocity Friday to the fact that hed pitched only once in the last week. He didnt allow an earned run in his first eight relief appearances after being promoted Aug. 31, but the Astros nicked him for two runs a week ago. He pitched a scoreless inning on Monday against the Brewers, then had three more days off.
My arm had been a little sore and the rest helped, he said. I felt as good as I did a couple weeks ago. Not the best Ive ever felt, but I felt good.
Reds manager Dusty Baker appreciated the moment, but the loss grated on him. Chapman was warming up in the bullpen when Miguel Tejada(notes) delivered a bases-loaded, two-out single in the seventh against Nick Masset(notes) that drove in the Padres third and fourth runs. Chapman came in and struck out Adrian Gonzalez(notes) on three fastballs that registered 101, 102 and 103 mph.
Baker had been reluctant to summon Chapman to face Tejada with the bases loaded and the Reds holding a one-run lead, envisioning a wild pitch or a walk.
A guy throwing that hard, looking back you can say I should have brought him in earlier, but he cant pitch against everybody all the time, Baker said.
Asked if that was the hardest he has seen Chapman throw by a small degree, Baker replied, By a big degree.***

The Corbett administration is mounting a full-court press to persuade Shell Chemical L.P. to build a huge petrochemical plant in Pennsylvania that officials see as the cornerstone of a manufacturing revival fueled by Marcellus Shale natural gas.
Members of Corbett's cabinet last week began pressing legislators to approve a tax credit that could exempt Shell from much of its state tax burden for a quarter-century — up to $1.65 billion over 25 years. Officials say the inducement is worth the cost because of the amount of economic activity that would be spun off by the Shell project.
"We're talking about building an entire petrochemical industry," said Steven Kratz, spokesman for the state Department of Community and Economic Development. "If we allow this resource to be piped out of Pennsylvania, it's a real failure on our part."

The Ali Forney Center based in Manhattan is celebrating 10 years of rescuing homeless LGBT youth from the dangerous streets and placing them in safe environments.
"Many of these youth are stranded out on the streets and forced to prostitute themselves to survive and they're forced to sleep in subways and on roofs, parks and abandoned buildings and the terror and fear and stress of that is horrible," said Ali Forney Center Founder Carl Siciliano.
And such trauma often leads to serious mental health issues. The National Alliance on Mental Illness finds LGBT youth are more likely to attempt suicide and suffer from depression and anxiety.
Activists say equally disturbing is that when these young people become adults and enter the workforce they sometimes face similar trauma from homophobic colleagues.
"Those in the homosexual communities aren't comfortable putting up pictures of their loved ones for fear of exposing themselves," said Work Life Matters Magazine Publisher Lori Sokol.
Sokol researched dozens of companies and selected the top businesses for their pioneering leadership in LGBT equality. The list includes New York Life Insurance Company, Microsoft and Orbitz.com.
"They support and really lobby within their company for acceptance and support for individuals that fall into the LGBT communities and it really has to start from the top down," Sokol noted.
Activists say an increasing number of companies in the U.S. are incorporating LGBT issues into their diversity programs, but there's still a long way to go for both adults and teens who feel persecuted because of their sexuality.

Smart water
The World Bank reports that 80 countries now have water shortages that threaten health and economies, while 40 percent of the global population have no access to clean water or sanitation. The World Health Organization states: "Globally, the problem is getting worse as cities and populations grow, and the needs for water increase in agriculture, industry and households."
Finland has developed globally relevant sustainable water management practices, utilizing both smart technologies as well as innovation in the water sector's business models. On April 20th a futures session will be organized to review water challenges and representative case studies in each of the FinNode countries in order to explore how Finland's comprehensive water management offering can be utilized for practical solutions.

How do military organizations assess strategic policy in war? In this book Scott Gartner develops a theory to explain how military and government leaders evaluate wartime performance, how much they change strategies in response to this evaluation, and why they are frequently at odds when discussing the success or failure of strategic performance. Blending history, decision theory, and mathematical modeling, Gartner argues that military personnel do reevaluate their strategies and that they measure the performance of a strategy through quantitative, "dominant" indicators. But different actors within a government use different indicators of success: some will see the strategy as succeeding when others see it as failing because of their different dominant indicators. Gartner tests his argument with three case studies: the British shift to convoys in World War I following the German imposition of unrestricted submarine warfare; the lack of change in British naval policy in the Battle of the Atlantic following the German introduction of Wolf Packs in World War II; and the American decision to deescalate in Vietnam after the Tet Offensive. He also tests his approach in a nonwar situation, analyzing the Carter Administration's decision to launch the hostage rescue attempt. In each case, his dominant indicator model better predicts the observed behavior than either a standard-organization or an action-reaction approach.

When you're on vacation, eating great food is half the fun! At Palmetto Dunes Oceanfront Resort and Shelter Cove Harbour, we have plenty of wonderful places to dine whether you're looking for a casual stop on the beach or a gourmet meal overlooking the water.
This week, we wanted to share some of the best Hilton Head appetizers from around Palmetto Dunes and Shelter Cove.
Dunes House Chicken Nachos
Take a break from the beach or ride your bike over to the oceanfront Dunes House within the resort. Our appetizer pick from this fun outdoor restaurant is their Chicken Nachos. Indulge in tortilla chips smothered in grilled chicken, queso, black bean relish and jalapenos. Sour cream and salsa is served on the side. Tip: Get plenty of napkins!
Big Jim's BBQ, Burgers & Pizza Sliders
At Big Jim's restaurant, located at the Robert Trent Jones course, try the sliders. It's the perfect appetizer to share with a group of buddies! Choose from three smoked pulled pork or smoked chicken sliders with cole slaw and pickle OR three Angus beef sliders with smoked onion and pickle.
San Miguel's Guacamole Dip - Shelter Cove Harbour
This is one of the best guacamole dips on the island complete with fresh avocados blended with tomatoes, onions and spices and served with their flour tortilla chips. Enjoy the view, a margarita and chips and guac!
HH Prime's Shrimp & Grits (Omni Hotel at Palmetto Dunes)
You can't come to the Lowcountry without eating shrimp and grits -- it's a Southern staple! HH Prime, located within the Omni Hotel at Palmetto Dunes, offers a plate full of jumbo shrimp and grits made with smoked cheddar cheese, tasso ham and sherry butter sauce. Delicious!
Ela's Blu Water Grille, Shelter Cove Harbour – Mama's Fried Green Tomatoes
Another Southern must-have is fried green tomatoes! Get your fill at Ela's Blu Water Grille, a Shelter Cove restaurant with a fantastic view. Your tomatoes will come lightly fried and crispy and served with Creole sauce, the owner's family tradition.
Alexander's Seafood Restaurant & Wine Bar's Oysters
If you're a visitor to the island, you may not have been exposed to the joy of eating oysters! We consider it a delicacy down south. Alexander's, located within the gates of Palmetto Dunes Oceanfront Resort, offers North American cold water oysters on the half shell in half dozen or a full dozen. You can also try their Oyster Baked Oyster Combination of three Rockefeller oysters topped with bacon, spinach and hollandaise sauce and three Savannah oysters topped with shrimp, crab, scallops, bacon and cheddar cheese. This dish will make anyone a fan of oysters!
Which dish sounds the best to you? Which appetizer are you dying to try? We hope you enjoy dining at Palmetto Dunes and Hilton Head when you visit us this spring and summer. Bon Appetit!

But celebs aren't the only ones giving Ela's a thumbs up; the locals are giving it great reviews too. Here's what one of our Facebook friends had this to say about his visit:
"Tried [Ela's] this past week and it was one of the better meals we've had on hhi in a very long time...still in it's infancy in a few areas, but they've got what it takes...owners are on site every night and the chef is terrific...we're rooting for them to succeed!"

We've hired a new executive chef here at Palmetto Dunes and we're very excited to introduce him. Meet Curtis Lincoln!

The Community of Disc Golfers and About All Things Disc Golf
I started using a 2 finger power grip about 2 months ago because I was grip locking ALL THE TIME with 4 finger AND 3 finger power grips. Everything started working great. Distance was good for me, accuracy was as good as I can hope for.
I have played a TON of DG lately, for me anyway. All of a sudden I can't control the disc. Releases early, releases late, yada yada. My DISTANCE also took a giant loss. ALL OF A SUDDEN this stuff starts happening. What the CRIPES????
Out today playing a local course. Got SO FRUSTRATED I could not release a drive consistently, let alone make it go anywhere. I took a break and got to thinking. I KNOW my arm speed and and approach have sped up in the past couple months. I know I am going through the Physical motions faster and More Consistently. So, I grab an 11 Speed driver I have NOT been able to throw. 4 FINGER POWER GRIP. I change NOTHING else. Throw my drive and put it 60-65 ft past my distance as of late and right on target. Finished out the last few holes using the 4 finger power grip and everything seemed to come back.
I spent time in the field before I left and threw drivers over and over. All I can think is that when I was using the 4 finger power grip months ago, I did not have the ARM SPEED and body rotation to make the disc snap out right. Now, I have hit that spot in arm speed and body rotation where the 2 finger power grip was just not working.
Any input?

Although the Little House stories are traditionally seen as "girl" books, boys might be happily surprised if they take another peek at their sisters' shelves. Little House in the Big Woods--the first book of the series and Laura Ingalls Wilder's first children's book--is full of the thrills, chills, and spills typically associated with "boy" books. Any boy or girl who has fantasized about running off to live in the woods will find ample information in these pages to manage a Wisconsin snowstorm, a panther attack, or a wild sled ride with a pig as an uninvited guest. Every chapter divulges fascinatingly intricate, yet easy-to-read, details about pioneer life in the Midwest in the late 1800s, from bear-meat curing to maple-tree sapping to homemade bullet making.
Wilder's autobiographical tales ring with truth and excitement. Readers will receive a perfectly painless history lesson, and in fact will clamor for more. Beloved illustrator Garth Williams spent years researching young Laura's pioneering family. His soft-line illustrations bring to life the full, simple days and nights in the family's log cabin. No one can read just one Little House book! (Ages 9 to 12) --Emilie Coulter [via]

It describes the family life of the four March sisters living in a small New England community, Meg, the eldest, is pretty and wishes to be a lady; Jo, at fifteen is ungainly and unconventional with an ambition to be an author; Beth is a delicate child of thirteen with a taste for music and Amy is a blonde beauty of twelve. The story of their domestic adventures, their attempts to increase the family income, their friendship with the neighbouring Lawrence family, and their later love affairs remains as fresh and beguiling as ever. Good Wives takes up the story of the March sisters, some three years later, when, as young adults, they must face up to the inevitable trials and traumas of everyday life in their search for individual happiness.

› Find signed collectible books: 'On the Banks of Plum Creek'
The adventures of Laura Ingalls and her family continue as they leave their little house on the prairie and travel in their covered wagon to Minnesota. Here they settle in a little house made of sod beside the banks of beautiful Plum Creek. Soon Pa builds a wonderful new little house with real glass windows and a hinged door. Laura and her sister Mary go to school, help with the chores, and fish in the creek. At night everyone listens to the merry music of Pa's fiddle. Misfortunes come in the form of a grasshopper plague and a terrible blizzard, but the pioneer family works hard together to overcome these troubles.
And so continues Laura Ingalls Wilder's beloved story of a pioneer girl and her family. The nine Little House books have been cherished by generations of readers as both a unique glimpse into America's frontier past and a heartwarming, unforgettable story.

A stunning examination of how tragedy affects a town, a marriage, and a family, for readers of Rosellen Brown's Before and After and Jane Hamilton's A Map of the World . That neither nature nor nurture bears exclusive responsibility for a child's character is self-evident. But such generalizations provide cold comfort when it's your own son who's just opened fire on his fellow students and whose class photograph--with its unseemly grin--is blown up on the national news. The question of who's to blame for teenage atrocity tortures our narrator, Eva Khatchadourian. Two years ago, her son, Kevin, murdered seven of his fellow high-school students, a cafeteria worker, and a popular algebra teacher. Because he was only fifteen at the time of the killings, he received a lenient sentence and is now in a prison for young offenders in upstate New York. Telling the story of Kevin's upbringing, Eva addresses herself to her estranged husband through a series of letters. Fearing that her own shortcomings may have shaped what her son has become, she confesses to a deep, long-standing ambivalence about both motherhood in general and Kevin in particular. How much is her fault? We Need to Talk About Kevin offers no pat explanations for why so many white, well-to-do adolescents--whether in Pearl, Paducah, Springfield, or Littleton--have gone nihilistically off the rails while growing up in suburban comfort. Instead, Lionel Shriver tells a compelling, absorbing, and resonant story while framing these horrifying tableaux of teenage carnage as metaphors for the larger tragedy--the tragedy of a country where everything works, nobody starves, and anything can be bought but a sense of purpose.

Jonathan Franzen's exhilarating novel The Corrections tells a spellbinding story with sexy comic brio, and evokes a quirky family akin to Anne Tyler's, only bitter. Franzen's great at describing Christmas homecomings gone awry, cruise-ship follies, self-deluded academics, breast-obsessed screenwriters, stodgy old farts and edgy Tribeca bohemians equally at sea in their lives, and the mad, bad, dangerous worlds of the Internet boom and the fissioning post-Soviet East.
All five members of the Lambert family get their due, as everybody's lives swirl out of control. Paterfamilias Alfred is slipping into dementia, even as one of his inventions inspires a pharmaceutical giant to revolutionize treatment of his disease. His stubborn wife, Enid, specializes in denial; so do their kids, each in an idiosyncratic way. Their hepcat son, Chip, lost a college sinecure by seducing a student, and his new career as a screenwriter is in peril. Chip's sister, Denise, is a chic chef perpetually in hot water, romantically speaking; banker brother Gary wonders if his stifling marriage is driving him nuts. We inhabit these troubled minds in turn, sinking into sorrow punctuated by laughter, reveling in Franzen's satirical eye:
Gary in recent years had observed, with plate tectonically cumulative anxiety, that population was continuing to flow out of the Midwest and toward the cooler coasts.... Gary wished that all further migration [could] be banned and all Midwesterners encouraged to revert to eating pasty foods and wearing dowdy clothes and playing board games, in order that a strategic national reserve of cluelessness might be maintained, a wilderness of taste which would enable people of privilege, like himself, to feel extremely civilized in perpetuity.Franzen is funny and on the money. This book puts him on the literary map. --Tim Appelo [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'Les Quatre Filles Du Dr March'
On est en Amérique, en pleine guerre de Sécession. Le docteur March est au front et sa petite famille doit survivre. Heureusement, les quatre soeurs March et leur mère forment un clan très uni qui affronte l'adversité avec courage et bonne humeur malgré tout.
L'auteur s'est fortement inspirée de sa propre vie pour écrire cette histoire. On la reconnaîtra sous les traits de Jo, le garçon manqué de la famille. Depuis sa publication en 1868, ce roman n'a cessé d'enchanter ses lecteurs, les petites filles surtout, qui se reconnaissent dans l'une ou l'autre des quatre soeurs. Sans jamais sombrer dans le mélo, l'histoire est extrêmement touchante, car la vie des personnages est ponctuée de beaucoup de joies mais aussi de grands moments d'angoisse. On suit avec plaisir les péripéties quotidiennes de leur existence, leur évolution aussi, puisque les quatre jeunes filles ne seront pas tout à fait les mêmes à la fin du roman. Ajoutons que ce livre présente pour le lecteur d'aujourd'hui un nouvel intérêt, celui de découvrir l'intimité de la vie d'une famille américaine au XIXe siècle, qui revêt pour nous nombre d'aspects étonnants et pittoresques. --Pascale Wester [via]

Outflows from U.S. stock funds caused the greatest damage in the closing days of 2012. For the week ended Jan. 2, investors withdrew an estimated $8.29 billion from funds that invest long-term in U.S. equities, more than double the $3.87 billion they pulled a week earlier.
Non-U.S. stock funds also took a hit, losing an estimated $1.21 billion for the week, reversing the previous week�s $81 million inflow.
Hybrid funds, which invest in both equity and bond securities, endured less of a blow, ending the week with a relatively mild $152 million in estimated outflows.
Bond funds once again helped stanch the bleeding, attracting $3.21 billion in estimated inflows. Of the $3.21 billion, $2.92 billion went to taxable bond funds with the remaining $291 million going to municipal bond funds.
The weekly fund flow estimates are derived from data covering more than 95% of industry assets, according to ICI.� The statistics cover long-term mutual funds, those the ICI defines as investing in long-term instruments.

Dear Joe Flacco,
As you know, your stock is significantly dropping. To be a consistently good quarterback you may want to consider to ..
*Give Ray Rice/Pierce the ball more, no matter what your OC says.
*Get the clock in your head upgraded. It should be set differently against the Steelers, Texans, teams with very good pass rushers. You face the Giants soon.
*Have a conversation with one receiver in your huddle, regarding breaking their route and provide a safety net for you when you have pressure. Since you aspire to be elite, Brady and Manning has this.
*Its okay to run when nobody is open, just like the KC game. It softens up the defense.
*Practice more with T. Smith on the deep ball, you two are not on the same page with the deep ball.
Or you can keep doing it the way you have been. Carry on

Contrasts Face to Face: Cameo Moonstone & Onyx Earrings
A brilliant cut diamond of an estimated .17 carat surmount gracefully suspends a delicate chain of 14k white gold attached to a modified Fleur-de-Lys white gold cap at the apex of a teardrop of onyx. Each of the slightly vaulted earring surfaces is embellished with a carved moonstone cameo featuring an opposing male and female head and neck profile.
The color contrast of the "figure-ground" perception of the ethereal white moonstone and the black as ink onyx is striking. Moreover, please note the dynamic tension between the flat onyx surface and three dimensional high relief sculptures.
Circa 1960.
Measurements: 1-3/4 inches (4.4 cm) in total length by ½ of an inch (1.3 cm) in width. Weight of 5.2 grams (3.3 dwt) fore the pair.
Condition: Very good; reinforcement to one cap top; a few of the chain links are slightly off oval.
Note: Diamonds have not been removed from their mounts to preserve the integrity of the setting. All diamond weights have been approximated by measurement and formula and may vary from actual weights.

Cellar/Tasting Notes "This lovely wine shows the soft tannins and herbaceousness you often find in Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignons. That dried herb taste accompanies blackberry and black currant fruit. It's classic Silver Oak, dry and elegant."
Cellar/Tasting Notes It is silky-textured and opulent on the palate, with layers of blackberries, blueberries, cassis, spices, minerals and sweet toasted oak that flow as the wine opens in the glass.
Cellar/Tasting Notes "The 2009 Les Pagodes de Cos is also a remarkable offering. Composed of 69% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, and 1% Petit Verdot, it tips the scales at 14.5% alcohol, and is better than most Cos d'Estournel vintages produced in the 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s. It is a full-bodied, opulently concentrated..

Cellar/Tasting Notes The 2010 Cabernet Sauvignon is brighter, fresher and more vibrant than the 2009.Black cherries, mocha, violets, licorice and graphite all jump from the glass. The 2010 is quite typical of the vintage in its verve, cut, focus and minerality. This is a terrific showing. Anticipated maturity:..
Cellar/Tasting Notes The creation of Super Bowl-winning coach, Dick Vermeil and his winemaker Paul Smith, the 2008 vintage of the Jean Louis Vermeil Cabernet Sauvignon is a mouth-filling, plush Bordeaux style blend.

Cellar/Tasting Notes "The 2009 Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve is drop-dead gorgeous. Dark red fruit, tobacco, flowers and licorice emerge from this massive, powerful wine.

Cellar/Tasting Notes A super-premium Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon from Bressler, a small family vineyard on the west side of St. Helena.

The East Rockaway Yacht Club, at the foot of Dock Street, will be the host as East Rockaway civic, community and political leaders gather to honor Mildred on Saturday, Feb-ruary 15,1986, from 7 pm to midnight. All in attendance will enjoy a sumptious cock-tail hour, hot and cold buffet, unlimited liquor, and music and dancing with Bob Dessart and his Orchestra. Mildred Roemer's many years of service to the Vil-lage as its Official Historian have certainly earned this tribute. Thanks to her dili-gent efforts, the Old Grist Mill Museum has gained a reputation for possessing one of the finest collections of artifacts on early Long Island history available to students, historians and the general public. Under Mrs. Roemer's stewardship, the Huckle-berry Frolic, East Rocka-way's annual salute to the Mill, has grown to be the single most important event in the life of the community. Active for many years in Bethany Congregational Church, Mildred's contribu-tions to the community have not been limited to the Old Grist Mill. In addition to her involvement with Bethany, Mildred was active for many years in the Rhame Avenue PTA. Tickets to the dinner are just $25 per person and may be purchased at the door if ordered in advance. Reser-vations can be made by cal-ling 593-8390, 599-3460, or 593-2765.

According to Gulotta, the Nassau County Department State Senator Dean Ske-los (R-9th SD) will be the guest speaker at the Holy Name Communion Break-fast, to be held on Sunday, February 9 at 10 am in the St. Raymond's Cafeteria. Senator Skelos will speak on his recent trip to North-ern Ireland, focusing on dis-crimination against Cathol-ics and the criminal justice system.

He spoke about the 'mysterious letter" to residents circulating around the village which led to the unfounded rumors. He further stated that any resident wishing serve on the new L i b r a r y Advisory Committee should call vil-lage Hall if they wished to contribute their time and effort to improving the exist-ing facilities. The Minutes of the Board Meeting of January 6th were approved by the Board of Trustees and placed on file. Departmental Reports were given from the a) Fire Department, b) Library, c) Recreation, d) Building Department e) Department of Public Works, 0 Side-walk Inspector, g) Village Justice Court, h) Dog Con-trol Officer, and I) Police Department, approved by the Board and placed on file. The reports covered the month of December, 1985. The Mayor issued a Proc-lamation naming the dates of February 2nd to the 6th as Catholic Schools Week in Lynbrook, honoring Our Lady of Peace School in Lynbrook and St. Ray-land which is currently vacant bordering the Mill River. An additional twelve foot widening of the road-way on the west side of Ocean Avenue, directly adjacent to the Atlantic Avenue intersection, will result in an additional southbound lane and a wider northbound lane. It was further stated that minor adjustments to the intersection south of Atlan-tic Avenue would provide proper alignment through the intersection and safer driving conditions. mond's School on the Lynbrook-Easj Rockaway border. Trustee Stephen Grogan presented a check for $4,003.18 for the Eddie Mit-chell Fund to Eddie and his parents who were present at the Board Meeting. The check represented funds raised from collections dur-ing the last Lynbrook Week in June, 1985 and other con-tributions. Channel 2's Jim Jensen All-Stars played a Benefit game with the Lyn-brook All-Stars at Greis Veterans Memorial Park with funds collected after and during the game during Lynbrook Week. Eddie suffers from neurofibrima-tosis and the Jim Jenson Game was dedicated to him to help with operations needed for his recovery. Janet Louise Campbell was cited for her efforts in gath-ering funds for Eddie. The village is looking for another worthy recipient for the Jim Jenson Game in 1986. Anyone knowing of a likely recipient is asked to call Vil-lage Hall with the name and address. Mayor Geier disignated Trustee Leo Lanning to be the liason of the village of Lynbrook with the new Lynbrook Library Advisory Committee. Bids were received and opened and studied for a) a DPW Cherry Picker, b) Police Vehicles, and c) Street Lights and were turned over to Supt.

Supervisor Gulotta noted ^ that these planned improve-ments to the roadway and i n t e r s e c t i o n would be effected without any of the, buildings on either Atlantic or Ocean Avenues, " T h e i m p r o v e m e n ts which the Board of Supervi-sors have authorized today will result in a smoother flow of traffic at one of the most heavily travelled inter-sections in Nassau County, this in turn will create safer more secure conditions for motorists, pedestrians and residents alike," Gulotta noted, "Nassau County's rapid expansion in the post-war period is a well noted fact of history. Unfortunately, the demands placed on many of our thoroughfares and roadways as a result of this expansion far surpassed the traffic volume they were o r i g i n a l l y d e s i g n e d to accomodate. The result: a s i g n i f i c a n t number of County roadways, which had served as sleepy coun-trylanes utilized by an occa-sional beachbound traveller, were, by necessity, trans-formed into major conduits for a population which has grown to rely on the auto-moblie as its primary means of transportation, 1 can think of no better example of this transformation than Ocean Avenue in East Rockaway," Supervisor Gulotta concluded.
