Puerto Rican Black Beans and Rice, loaded with flavor. (Photo from The Perfect Pantry |
(For Friday Favorites we spotlight past recipes that you may have missed, and Lydia's version of Puerto Rican Black Beans With Sofrito and Cilantro is one I have on my "must-try" list!)
It took three tries for Lydia to perfect these Slow Cooker Puerto Rican Black Beans with Sofrito and Cilantro from The Perfect Pantry, but after reading through her final recipe I think she has come up with a keeper. Start with dried beans which are cooked with sofrito, a blend of chopped peppers, tomato, onion, garlic, cilantro, and parsley, as well as spices like cumin and oregano and a few other seasonings. Once these were in the slow cooker, Lydia says she only stirred once, and after about 7 hours dinner was ready!
I hope you enjoy trying this from-scratch slow cooker recipe! Use this link to get the recipe for Slow Cooker Puerto Rican Black Beans with Sofrito and Cilantro from The Perfect Pantry.

Sexism has a unique way of subordinating Black women. It is a Black woman's duty, so we are told, to suppress our urges toward equality. Black women have always been expected to prioritize the components of their identity so that race takes precedence over gender. If feminist implications arise that may offend our Black men, [...]

Recipe by MARY4SEEDS
"A low budget, low fat, easy and delicious salsa. You can add as many or as little veggies to your taste. This can easily be multiplied. Serve with crackers or tortilla chips."
Watch video tips and tricks
1 (6 ounce) can tuna in water, drained
1/3 cup chopped onion
1/3 cup chopped tomatoes
1/3 cup minced cilantro
1 small jalapeno pepper, seeded and minced
salt and pepper to taste
I did not have a raw jalapeno pepper on hand. I ended up chopping a few homemade pickled jalapeno rings and throwing it in. I did squeeze a little fresh lime juice over the ingredients before mixing. I love this recipe. I didn't bother eating it as a dip, I just ate it right out of the bowl. I didn't even share. Delicious!
oh yum! i make this all the time but i usually add some lime juice and diced avocado with some crackers- its great!

LOVED THIS!! I didn't have a jalapeno so I omitted it, and added a little olive oil and garlic powder. My new favorite lunch!
I used to make this many years ago and my friends and I just loved it with tortilla chips! The only thing we did differently was use the bottled hot yellow peppers (1 or 2) and pour in some of the bottled pepper juice. Low calorie, high protein, high in vitamins - thanks for reminding me about this great spread!
added some lime juice -- it was very good on toast!
Love this - what a great idea - we add extra jalapeno because we like spicy pico - always enjoy recipes with cilantro
I only used a half a can of albacore tuna. Also, I added a clove of fresh garlic, an entire lime and did not take out the seeds in the jalapeno. I began with half of a lime but it was too dry therefore I decided to put the rest in. I might put a little lime zest in next time and possibly some avocado.
I gave four stars b/c it is so easy, healthy, and economical. I used a tub of pico from the produce section instead of making my own and just added a little garlic salt and lime juice. A great meal ready in 5 minutes!

Back in Denver, so far 2 yummy experiences
Sat, 05/23/09 1:53 PM
As lifelong Lakers fans, my wife and I decided to come to Denver to see our team play twice against the Nuggets and to complete some unfinished business left undone when we were last in the Mile High City in August for the DNC.
Arriving Friday afternoon we met up with our friends and had a nice dinner at a new Cuban restaurant, just open about 6 months, Mojito's Cuban Bistro on 6th Avenue and Corona in the East Capitol Hill district.
The last time here we went to another Cuban eatery Cuba Cuba but we didn't care much for it because it is nouveau-fusion style Cuban and not more down home traditional cooking which Mojito's is. I had ropa vieja(old clothes shredded beef) with black beans, rice, tostones- fried green plantains, several sabroso mojitos, flan and an excellent cafe cubano. My wife had the shrimp creole-camarones enchilados over rice with sweet ripened plantains, mojitos, flan and cafe.
Our hosts had a grilled citrus chicken breast with yucca(cassava) with garlic sauce, moro rice and lechon asado-marinated pork and pimiento rice respectively. We all shared a delicious appetizers platter that had ham croquettes, meat empanadas and thin fried green plantain chips with garlic sauce. We all shared a bit of our entrees so we all got a taste of 4 different platters and all of liked all 4 of them
great dining and quite a surprise to find such a nice down home style Cuban place in Denver which according to our friends who works with tourism and chamber of commerce has a population of less than 1,000 Cubans in the entire metro Denver area
This Saturday morning we were taken to a 1950s style diner, Annie's Cafe
tons of 1950s memoribillia adorn the restaurant complete with a retro candy counter. A standard yet extensive breakfast menu with a few speciality platters, again we all tasted 4 different plates and they were all good plus they serves mimosa, sunrise and other adult beverages adding to the morning experience. I enjoyed the Dee Delight, grilled potatoes with mushrooms, green peppers, onions, tomatoes, monterey jack topped with 2 sunnyside up eggs, yummy, my wife liked here chocolate chip pancakes, also good was the spinach and cheese florentine omelette
After we visit the Molly brown Mansion and Museum we are going to the site of the world's first cheeseburger and take a photo in front of the historical marker that commemorates the event. See the full story and photo of the marker in the hamburger section of this forum, thread titled Visiting the site of the world's first cheeseburger. I will be posting more info to that thread late tonight after the Lakers-Nuggets game or on Sunday morning

That was a suprise for me. I checked out your link for Annies. I noticed that it said they were in the location formerly occupied by Godfriends. I thought that Goodfriends was still in business. I remember working there in the early 80's. They did a landslide business.

Blackhawks, Bruins head into Game 6 without stars
In this photo taken June 22, 2013, Chicago Blackhawks center Jonathan Toews, bottom, takes a hit above the shoulders from Boston Bruins defenseman Johnny Boychuk during second period in Game 5 of the NHL hockey Stanley Cup Finals in Chicago. Patrice Bergeron may or may not be available for the Bruins in Game 6 of the Stanley Cup final, but Claude Julien is keeping that a secret. Toews' status for the Blackhawks might be a little clearer. Julien called Bergeron day-to-day with a "body" injury and added that his status was "really good news." (AP Photo/Charles Rex Arbogast) |
BOSTON — Chicago Blackhawks coach Joel Quenneville says he hopes forward Jonathan Toews will be able to play in Game 6 of the Stanley Cup finals against the Boston Bruins. Boston coach Claude Julien is likewise hopeful that forward Patrice Bergeron will be able to play tonight.
Toews did not play in the third period of Chicago's 3-1 victory over Boston in Game 5 on Saturday night. The team has not said what the injury is. But Quenneville said after arriving in Boston on Sunday that Toews is doing better.
Bruins defenseman Johnny Boychuk was not given a penalty on the hit that injured Toews. NHL spokesman John Dellapina says the league has reviewed the hit and there will be no supplemental discipline.
The Bruins are missing Patrice Bergeron, who also left Game 5 with an undisclosed injury. Julien classified Bergeron's injury as a "body" injury. He left a Chicago hospital Sunday morning and flew home with the team.

Halo Headlines: Reaction to Ervin Santana's No-Hitter, Jered Weaver's Low BABIP, Angels Focusing On Bullpen Help
The July 28th, 2011 edition of daily news for the LA Angels including reactions to Ervin Santana's no-hitter, inside Jered Weaver's BABIP, Angels focusing on bullpen help via trade and much more...
The Story: Ervin Santana's no-hitter was a surprise, but also not a surprise.
The Monkey Says: I think I have always liked Santana a bit more than most Angel fans, so I appreciate how good he can be, but even I am a little surpised to see that he is capable of spinning such a dominant performance like he put forth yesterday.
The Story: Santana's no-hitter shows that his tools are still there.
The Monkey Says: I don't think there was ever much of a question about his slider, the concern has always been in regards to his fastball and the velocity he lost off of it a few years ago. What I think this glosses over is that Santana is also maturing as a pitcher and attacking in a smarter manner while also not getting rattled in pressure situations like he did his first few years in the league.

WHEELING, W.Va. -- Hundreds of Southern West Virginia residents who claim Massey Energy Co. poisoned their wells and made them sick by pumping coal slurry underground will get their day in court next year -- and a chance to settle the case this fall.
A mass litigation panel handling the long-delayed lawsuit against Virginia-based Massey and subsidiary Rawl Sales & Processing set a trial date of Aug. 1, 2011, in Wheeling, warning the dozens of attorneys involved to clear their schedules for two months.
The five-judge panel also announced it will hold a mediation day Nov. 15 in Charleston, when two of the judges will try to broker a settlement that Massey, the plaintiffs and dozens of insurance company lawyers can live with.
"We're going to have a dual track here. We're not going to slow down," said Circuit Judge Alan Moats of Taylor County, who chairs the panel. "We're going to go full speed ahead in both directions."
While Moats and Judge Derek Swope of Mercer County will handle the mediation, Ohio County Circuit Judge James Mazzone will start preparing for trial with the help of Circuit Judges John Hutchinson of Raleigh County and Jay Hoke of Lincoln County.
The case originated in Mingo County and was set for trial last fall, but the West Virginia Supreme Court disqualified the judge who had been handling it over a conflict of interest. The case was then referred to another judge, who asked to be removed.
Earlier this year, the court assigned it to the mass litigation panel, judges who specialize in large, complex cases involving hundreds or thousands of plaintiffs.
At Friday's three-hour hearing to get the trial back on track, Mazzone denied more than 100 motions Massey had filed to dismiss cases by plaintiffs who failed to show up last year for a previous attempt at mediation. That keeps the case alive for not only 556 people who say they are already sick or disabled, but also for nearly 200 plaintiffs who want a medical monitoring program to watch for illnesses they believe they could develop.
The current and former residents of Rawl, Lick Creek, Sprigg and Merrimac are suing Massey and Rawl for injecting coal slurry into worked-out mines between 1978 and 1987. Slurry is the wastewater produced when coal is washed to help it burn more efficiently.
Massey has denied any wrongdoing and defends the practice as legal. The lawsuit, however, claims slurry seeped through cracks in the earth into the groundwater, poisoning drinking wells. Residents say decades of exposure to water that often ran orange, red or black caused developmental problems, cancers and other health problems.

IBM joins cyber-sleuths
Somers, N.Y. – The Chemicals Sector Cyber-Security Information Sharing Forum today announced that IBM will help it to speed development and execution of industry benchmarks for cyber-security. The Forum's work with IBM will enable further implementation of two components of the Forum's Chemicals Sector Cyber-Security Program – establishing sector practices and standards and encouraging acceleration of improved security technology and solutions development.
Through its Cyber-Security Program, the Forum is charged with evaluating the wide variety of recommendations and tools that exist today to determine a common industry standard to help achieve the complex task of enhancing cyber-security for intellectual properties while simultaneously enabling broad-based multinational collaboration. The Forum consists of 10 chemical industry trade associations representing more than 2,000 chemical companies, each with unique needs based on their size and the systems they employ.
"In helping the Forum craft these important security standards, IBM is leveraging a substantial body of knowledge acquired during years of working with the chemical industry," said Rusine Mitchell-Sinclair, general manager of IBM Safety and Security Services. "Together, we will develop benchmarks that will help raise the security of the industry's vital information and manufacturing control systems."
IBM's Safety and Security practice will help the Forum by working with the Chemical Industry Data Exchange (CIDXTM) to establish an initial chemical industry benchmark, as part of the newly formed CIDX Cyber-Security Practices, Standards and Technology Initiative. The CIDX initiative is responsible for implementing the Standards and Practices component of the Chemicals Sector Cyber-Security Program.
The Program has endorsed the ISO/IEC International Standard 17799 as voluntary guidance for companies in the industry to follow in devising risk-based cyber-security plans for their organizations. ISO 17799 will be the framework for establishing cyber-security management practices for Program participants. IBM will act as a consultant to help the companies participating in this initial benchmarking to assess themselves against the standard. The self-assessments will provide the basis to establish benchmarks by which cyber-security practices can be measured within the industry.
"We anticipate more than 20 chemical companies will participate in assessing themselves against the ISO 17799 standard in this first round, which will provide us with a look at the level of cyber-security in the industry today. It will also give us a foundation upon which we can build our cyber-security practices in the future," said Patricia B. Simmons, Executive Director of CIDX.
"The expertise IBM brings to the Program will enable us to efficiently and cost-effectively improve our practices and set the standard for cyber-security in the chemical industry," said Christine Adams, Program Manager, Chemicals Sector Cyber-Security Program.
The Chemicals Sector Cyber-Security Information Sharing Forum, a group of industry trade organizations committed to the continued enhancement of cyber security within the industry, was created to implement a cyber-security program focused on risk management and reduction to provide open, secure information and process control systems. The Chemicals Sector Cyber-Security Program includes five key initiatives: fostering involvement and commitment across the sector; establishing a program to advocate the establishment of sector practices and policies; establishing sector practices and standards; establishing an information sharing network; and encouraging acceleration of improved security technology and solutions development.

Simply by placing her on the road, he not only gave himself a great compositional leading line with the road, but also linked the photograph back to the story.

That type of flange generally has two ways to hold the bolts...you can see the slots at the front and back. If it was rotated 90-degrees, you'd have used the bolts slid into those slots. The other way is with a concentric T-shaped slot, which is likely what you have the bolts in now. To get the bolts out, you'd need to clean up the T-slot and slide it to the wide end at the T, then pull it out.
If the flange is intact, you can get those bolts out that way. If not, then, it may be easiest to cut them off flush with a hacksaw or grind them with a grinder, then, install a repair ring, and use the slots in the repair ring to hold the new bolts. Pros tend to use two sets of nuts and washers...one to lock the bolt to the flange, and the second set to hold the toilet down. By anchoring the bolt to the flange, when it comes time to remove it, it won't spin. Also, chose brass or stainless steel bolts and nuts, and you won't have that problem. If you go with a repair ring, you'll need to clean things off more, seal the repair ring to the existing one and drill holes to screw it down. Again, use brass or SS, so it won't rust away. If you search on repair ring, you'll see some pictures of what I'm talking about.

It's easier than ever to acquire varied ethnic foodstuffs in every mid-size American city, and pretty much everyone we know saw Amelie. But we have an unmistakable U.S.-centric bias, still evident in cases like Pan's Labyrinth - arguably the best film of last year that was nonetheless relegated to the Best Foreign Language category because it wasn't written in our mother tongue.
A gigantic handful of British TV has been imported stateside, and mystifyingly, remade. From Queer as Folk to Who Wants To Be A Millionaire to - we swear it's true - Three's Company, we've borrowed liberally from the U.K. and refitted their brainchildren with clear-as-a-bell Yankee twangs.
Some of these projects have made a smooth transition; Robin Tripp could not possibly have been more of a beloved icon at home than his American counterpart Jack Tripper. The U.S. version of The Office, at first nearly a word-for-word reproduction of the stellar Ricky Gervais original, has blossomed into a bizarre, addictive phenomenon with its own unique magic.
However: Coupling, Teachers... Whose Line is it freaking Anyway - what were they thinking - these fantastic shows that sparkled in their native environment had abysmal American reincarnations. A pox on whomever could not leave well enough alone.
Sometimes an American remake is a good idea. But, people - we have cable. Flip over to BBC America once in a while, or rent some DVDs; if you're not watching the shows on this list, you're seriously missing out.

A PETA India undercover investigation reveals filth, disease and cruelty in India's fishing industry. Read more.
Watch the video that exposes the cruelty and suffering that go into every piece of leather, fur, wool, and exotic skin that you wear, then ask yourself and everyone you know, "Whose skin are you in?" Read more.
Stunning actor Kalki Koechlin has received high praise and a Filmfare Award nomination for her breakout role in the Hindi film Dev D. Now, coinciding with the release of her latest movie, Shanghai, Kalki stars in an adorable PETA ad with her rescued feline friend, Dosa. The ad, which was shot by ace photographer Himanshu Seth and features makeup by Berzin Irani, encourages Kalki's legions of fans to consider opening their hearts and homes to an animal in need.
Kalki knows firsthand what a joy it is to save a homeless animal's life: She rescued Dosa from the streets when he was just a kitten. Now a healthy, happy boy, Dosa is Kalki's number-one fan and feline "bodyguard", closely monitoring anyone who comes near his beloved guardian.
"Dosa is a supercat – he's cuddly, affectionate and a natural good looker", says Kalki. "With so many homeless animals suffering in the streets or awaiting adoption in overcrowded shelters, breeders only add to the problem by bringing yet more cats and dogs into the world. I don't regret for one minute having adopted Dosa."
Millions of loving and lovable animals such as Dosa are struggling to survive on India's streets. Many of them starve to death or are injured, abused or hit by vehicles. Countless others are left to languish in animal shelters because there aren't enough good homes for them.

Bike ShareOpening Up Bicycling to EveryoneBike Share in San FranciscoSan Francisco has a bike share system of 350 bikes as part of a regional Bay Area Bike Share Program. In San Francisco, the program is managed and maintained by the BAAQMD with the support of the SFMTA, but the SF Bicycle Coalition will continue to be leading the way educating people on the safest and easiest way to commute by bike. Bike Share programs have been wildly successful in cities like Washington, D.C., New York City, and Minneapolis -- each of these cities use the same types of bikes and stations. Have questions about the program itself? Check the Bay Area Bike Share website. Please Note: The SF Bicycle Coalition DOES NOT run the Bike Share Program. Please contact the provider for specific questions or needs at bayareabikeshare.com Introducing Bike ShareA robust bike share system will open up the joy of biking to everyone in San Francisco, increasing business, relieving crowding on our trains and buses and sealing our reputation as the worlds most innovative city. The San Francisco Bicycle Coalition is proud to have led the way for this first pilot program and we are advocating for the launch of a full scale bike sharing system in San Francisco of approximately 3,000 bikes in 2014, with expansion to the full Bay Area shortly thereafter. The Air District launched a small test of a regional bike share program in August 2013. Right now, San Francisco has 350 bikes at approximately 35 stations centered around the waterfront, Market Street and Caltrain. There are also 350 bikes centered around Caltrain stations in Palo Alto, Mountain View, Redwood City and San Jose, as well. The San Francisco Bicycle Coalition will continue to be the leading resource for Street Safety Information and will continue to advocate for more bikeways across the city, in order to help attract more people to try bicycling. The Bike Share program is being run by the Bay Area Quality Management District, in partnership with the region's transportation agencies. While the SF Bicycle Coalition is supportive of the bike share program, questions related to the program itself can be answered by the staff at Bay Area Bike Share. --> Letter to the MayorThe San Francisco Bay Area Bike Share program is a total of 700 bikes -- 350 in San Francisco at 30 Stations. If you would like to see the program expanded or want to request/suggest a location for a bike share pod, we encourage you to use the text below as a guide to email the Mayor. To: email@example.com
CC: email@example.com
Sample Letter:
Dear Mayor Lee: DESCRIBE YOURSELF:
Sincerely, [Your Name] What is Bike Share?Have you seen the mint beauties? Look for solar-powered electronic kiosks with many bikes where you can sign up for annual, monthly, daily or other kinds of membership. Once you're a member, you can take a bike, ride to your destination and return it at the closest kiosk near to where you're headed. Trips under 30 minutes are free. For a great overview of bike sharing, check out this video of D.C.'s extremely popular system. See this map for a comprehensive overview of all bike sharing systems in the world, and this handy map of what U.S. cities are launching in just 2013. If you already bike, bike share still benefits you:

Having a little extra money is a good problem to have. In my household, after several years of belt tightening, there might be a little extra, which spurred plenty of discussion about home and yard improvements. Twice this winter the furnace, which is a 60-year-old boiler, left us heatless. To be honest, it's a wonder it didn't happen sooner… maintenance on the old beast has been scarce. Ignoring it seemed easier and cheaper than dealing with it – at least at first. Hubby…Continue Reading
Neighboring farmers have worked together for years. They not only have helped each other out, but they've worked on projects with Extension educators, crop consultants and company reps. Today, we call that "partnering." One of the best partnerships I've seen in this state in some time is the Nebraska Agricultural Water Management Network. It's impressive what this irrigation network, in existence since 2005, has done and what it will do in the future in the area of more…Continue Reading
Three months of cold, snow and ice are enough to make anybody think spring will never get here. But it will. Just look on the calendar. The 28 days of February are nearly gone. This coming Saturday is March 1. And once March arrives, it seems like the calendar slips into overdrive. The days fall off quickly. If your target planting date is April 15, that means you could be planting in just over six weeks, assuming the snow is gone and conditions are right. The snow will be gone. Whether…Continue Reading
Lots of miles and several hotel rooms, but it's been exciting with all the new technology I've had a chance to see and to talk with company representatives about their products. Here are some highlights from the National Farm Machinery Show: High-speed planting: John Deere unveiled their new ExactEmerge planter with claims of accurate planting at speeds up to 10 mph. That's possible due to the new row unit technology. The seed delivery system cradles the seed from the meter down…Continue Reading
Try rearranging the formula for calculating profit and see how it affects your planning for 2014. The profit formula is: Income – Expenses = Profit. Joshua Dukart, a technician with Burleigh County, N.D., Soil Conservation District and a certified holistic management educator, says to rearrange the formula this way: Income - Profit = Expenses Looking at your farm or ranch through this formula gives you control of the amount of profit you desire. It also also gives you a ceiling for…Continue Reading
Countless news releases cross my desk every month talking about sustainable farming practices and sustainable agriculture. Sustainability has become quite the buzz word during the past decade. Many people talk about it, but I'm not sure everyone understands what it is. If you look the word up in the dictionary, you will find that sustainable means "able to be maintained." Sustainable agriculture is defined as "exploiting natural resources without destroying the ecological…Continue Reading
No way around it. January is a bad month. It has the task of being the wake after the holidays when we have to address another year. That's hard with short, dark and cold days for the West. Record low temperatures in Montana don't help folks there see the silver lining of much of anything. The pretty snow simply becomes a nuisance as we come to the realization there are a couple more months of short winter days. Yet, as the days begin to lengthen, we have the first glimpse of spring…Continue Reading
My colleague Holly Spangler has been blogging lately about her experiences at the recent American Farm Bureau annual convention in San Antonio. Since I helped her cover that meeting, I thought I'd touch on some of the highlights as well. First, it was the 95th annual convention for AFBF and about 7,000 members from across the country attended. That in itself is worth seeing if you are like me and wonder about the logistics of organizing and feeding a crowd that size. But, it always…Continue Reading
I had every intention of blogging last week. I had a plethora of information from AFBF to share, and mentioned as much when I last blogged…um, almost two weeks ago. Then, sickness. Which really messes with your plans. Also, snow days. To recap, I made it home from AFBF in Texas with something resembling respiratory flu. I got some drugs (yay, drugs!) and I left again the next weekend to speak at the South Dakota Young Farmers & Ranchers conference (sidenote: they are the nicest…Continue Reading
I know. I'm obsessed with the weather, it is true. I admit it. I watch TV weather reports with amazement. I listen for updated radio reports and read everything I can about the weather, trying to catch differences in reports from varied sources. I was an animal science major in college, but had to sneak an ag meteorology class into my course schedule. So, it should be no surprise that I sat in on a session at a farm show in Norfolk recently featuring Al Dutcher, Nebraska's state…Continue Reading

These Israeli practices lead the Special Committee to one over-arching and deeply troubling conclusion. ... The mass imprisonment of Palestinians; the routine demolition of homes and the displacement of Palestinians; the widespread violence by Israeli settlers against Palestinians; and the blockade and resultant reliance on illegal smuggling to survive; these practices amount to a strategy to either force the Palestinian people off their land or so severely marginalize them as to establish and maintain a system of permanent oppression.
There has been a growing concern over human rights violation in Israel. Late last month UN Special Rapporteur Richard Falk called on Israel to stop demolishing Palestinian homes [JURIST report]. The week before that the UN Special Rapporteur on the promotion and protection of the right to freedom of opinion and expression expressed concern over the freedom of speech in Israel and Palestine [JURIST report]. Also last month, 50 aid groups and UN offices signed a joint statement urging Israel to end its blockade of the Gaza Strip [JURIST report]. In May Falk expressed concern over Israeli prison conditions [JURIST report]. Last November the President of Defence for Children International (DCI) [advocacy website], Rifat Kassis, discussed Palestinian children's rights violations [JURIST comment].

By Marius Zaharia
LONDON, Sept 30 (Reuters) - Political instability put Italy's bonds under heavy pressure on Monday after five ministers from former premier Silvio Berlusconi's party stepped down at the weekend, increasing the risk of new elections.
Yields rose and were at a three-month high over safe haven German equivalents. The cost of insuring Italian debt against default also climbed.
The resignations were set off by clashes at a Friday cabinet meeting over an imminent sales tax hike.
Italian Prime Minister Enrico Letta will go before parliament on Wednesday and hold a confidence vote to verify what is left of his parliamentary backing. President Giorgio Napolitano began talks on Sunday to solve the crisis.
Tensions have been running high in Letta's left-right coalition ever since last month, when Berlusconi was convicted of tax fraud. His allies have threatened to bring the government down if he was ousted from parliament following his conviction.
'New elections are more likely and this is not good news when it comes to reforms,' Commerzbank rate strategist Michael Leister said. 'This has become a structural issue in Italy. Even if Letta manages to save this government, the market would take the view that it will all be very fragile.'
Ten-year Italian yields rose 25 basis points to 4.68 percent, expanding the gap over benchmark German Bund yields to the widest since end-June at just above 300 basis points.
According to Reuters data, Italian yields were on track for heir biggest daily rise in three months.
The government's failure to reform the electoral system means that holding new elections at this time might lead to another inconclusive result. Talks to form a government following a vote in February took two months.
Spanish and Irish 10-year bond yields rose about 4 basis points - a far more subdued move than during the episodes of contagion seen at the height of the euro zone debt crisis.
Analysts said Italian yields had to get closer to their crisis peaks of over 7 percent before its political risks spilled over and attributed the rise in other peripheral yields to aversion to risky assets stemming from the threat of a U.S. government shutdown.
On Sunday, the Republican-controlled House of Representatives passed a measure that ties government funding to a one-year delay of President Barack Obama's landmark healthcare restructuring law, while Senate Democrats have vowed to reject it.
Low-risk Bund futures rose 25 ticks to 140.70, while 10-year German yields fell 2 basis points to 1.71 percent.
'The risk (of a government shutdown) is more elevated ... but we're still confident there will be a compromise and I think this is the market view at the moment,' BNP Paribas rate strategist Patrick Jacq said.

November 5, 2003
So, yesterday morning, I got up and went outside to go to work at a little before 8:00. It was about 25 degrees (20 degrees warmer than yesterday), and there were some snow flakes in the air. It was kind of nice. But, that pretty snow just kept falling all morning. By 12:15, when I went to lunch, my car was covered in snow. Before I drove back to work, an hour later, it was covered again. After driving (probably over-conservatively) back to the office and working until 5:00, it took about 10 minutes to clear off the snow. I really love living in northern Minnesota. In the summers, the weather is great. In the winters, well, it's not always so nice. But if you like snow, and lots of it, and cold temperatures, you would love it here too! In other words, it seems almost strange thinking about baseball when the ball field is completely covered in snow. But hey, it's the Hot Stove, and I can think of baseball any time! It helps make the winter more bearable!
Be sure to e-mail me your thoughts on anything you read below. Be sure to specifically let me know your thoughts on the Question of the Week as the answers to that question should make for fun reading on Friday!
I need to start by making a correction to yesterday's posting. I mentioned that Lew Ford had received the Bill Boni Award for the Most Outstanding Twins Rookie by the Twin Cities Chapter of the Baseball Writers of America. Although I agree that Ford performed very well for the Twins in 2003, I wrote that Juan Rincon should have been named the Most Outstanding Rookie. I just thought that he was able to contribute more throughout the whole year. My reasoning was as much based on playing time as anything else.
A daily reader e-mailed me a link to an article written by Tom Elliott in the St. Cloud Times in which he detailed his votes for the Twins Awards. He also mentioned the other nominees for the award.
"Rookies candidates were: Lew Ford, Michael Cuddyer, Justin Morneau, Michael Restovich and Grant Balfour. Not one of them even had a good month."
My choice for Twins Most Outstanding Rookie, Juan Rincon, was not even a nominee on the ballot for the award. The question I have for anyone in the Twins Organization or involved in this process is: Why Not? Looking back at Juan Rincon's statistics coming into the 2003 season, he had pitched 34 1/3 innings in 14 games. By my understanding, and I don't think this has changed, a pitcher is considered a rookie until he reaches 50 innings pitched.
So, that would tell me that Juan Rincon was eligible to be the American League Rookie of the Year, but wasn't even a candidate for the Twins Most Outstanding Rookie. Does this make sense?
I realize I'm making too big a deal out of this. Lew Ford was Outstanding, and he was a rookie. He deserves the award, so, Congratulations to Lew Ford!
Yesterday, Team USA went to 2-0 in the Olympic Qualifying tournament with a 7 inning, 10-0 win over Colombia. Joe Mauer again started at catcher and batted 6th. He played the first five innings, before the Texas Ranger's Gerald Laird came in to finish the game. Mauer lined out to RF in the first inning for a sacrifice fly. In the 3rd inning, he singled. In the 5th inning, Mauer flew out to CF. So, 1-2 on the game.
Atlanta Braves rookie Horacio Ramirez pitched the first five innings, giving up just 2 hits. I wrote in mid-August about Ramirez's impressive rookie season. The rule for Team USA was that players had to be off of the major league roster on August 31. Ramirez, who was the Braves #4 starter all year, but was sent down on August 31, for a day, and then recalled on September 1. That's how a man with a full year in the big leagues got on Team USA. Twins prospect JD Durbin came in to pitch the 6th inning. He struck out the first two batters he faced and got the third to fly out to right field. Mets prospect (via the White Sox trade for Roberto Alomar) Royce Ring finished the shutout with a scoreless 7th inning.
Tonight, Team USA plays Panama who comes into the game 3-0. In the other pool, Cuba is standing at 3-0, and Justin Morneau and Team Canada are at 2-0. I don't know a lot about Team Canada's games. I know they beat Puerto Rico in their first game and Justin Morneau had a home run. They also won on a forfeit by The Bahamas, who couldn't get to the tournament because of visa problems.
Check back tomorrow, I will have more on Team USA, and more information on Team Canada. They have a number of current prospects and former major leaguers on their team.
I also wrote yesterday about Don Mattingly being named the new Yankees hitting coach. I acknowledged that he had a great career, was a very solid hitter before experiencing a lot of back injuries. He was Donnie Baseball in New York. I wrote that I never understood this infatuation with Mattingly. I always thought that legendary in Yankees terms meant World Series Championships, and Mattingly played in just one ALDS in his career, a series the Yankees lost in 1995 (note - Mattingly was 10-24 in that series!). I also have heard that Mattingly was a great fielder. So, I acknowledge he was a very solid player for a number of years. I just wasn't sure why he was so big in New York. I asked readers to help me understand. I got a great e-mail from Cliff, of Clifford's Big Red Blog, a website on the Yankees, which really helped me to better understand:
Here's the deal on Mattingly:
1) With the exception of the times his back interfered, he *never* did anything wrong. He always hit, he always played hard, he was unreal in the field. During his good years in the '80s he was a dirt dog with all-time great ability (you've seen the numbers--in the pitching-heavy '80s those were unreal seasons!). The back injuries cut into his greatness, but he still played hard and he was so smart and hard-nosed a player that he always contributed. His single season strikeout high was 43 fercryinoutloud, and he hit .307 . . . with power!
2) 1990 and '91 were his worst years because of the back, but from '89-92 the team was so bad that he still stood high above the rest of the team. Basically, if you were a fan of the team during those lean years, Don Mattingly was all there was. He was the beginning and the end. Ernie Banks wasn't Willie Mays or Frank Robinson, but he is Mr. Cub because what else did the Cubs have for the first half of his career? Don Mattingly *was* the Yankees.
3) He was the captain and a leader. He set the tone for the teams that won in '96 and beyond, even though he didn't play on them. It was his influence that helped turn O'Neill into the player he became in New York, and his quiet brilliance that also influenced Williams and even Jeter. He always conducted himself the right way. He was DiMaggio with a mustache and a mullet, except Mattingly was genuine and actually reached out to the younger players rather than deking them into stepping into drainage pipes.
More than anything else, Mattingly was an unblemished hero during one of the ugliest periods in Yankee history. The team didn't win, Steinbrenner went from bad to worse, firing managers, making horrendous trades, eventually getting suspended for hiring a gambler to dig up trash on one of his star players (Winfield). Mattingly got heat from the Boss too, but he dealt with it, and the rotating managers, and the losing, and his back and the resulting unfulfilled promise, all with dignity and professionalism.
You want a quicker answer?
Go compare his career numbers to Kirby Puckett's. Now imagine that Kirby had to play for Steinbrenner at his worst, that he was still an exciting and electric player but ownership and management constantly undermined his team's chances to win, that his team went to the World Series the year before he was called up and the year after he retired, but not once during his career, despite his best efforts. Then when the team hit last place his back crapped out on him, but he struggled through it because he was all the team had and that he finally made it to the playoffs in his last year and had the kind of series that he did in the ALCS in '91 (compare that to Mattingly's '95 ALDS). Now imagine that rather than (ALLEGEDLY) molesting women in bar bathrooms, getting divorced and putting on 300 lbs, Kirby's life after baseball was lived with the same quiet dignity that he played, that he still looked like he could hit .300-25-100 and win a Gold Glove, that he worked with the team every spring training and collected hits every Old Timers day. That's Don Mattingly.
By the way, I knew that Mattingly and Puckett's numbers were very similar, but take a look at this. You'll find just how similar their stats are.

In looking at the numbers, can you guess which was a Hall of Famer and which will probably be on the outside looking in to Cooperstown. The reason, sadly, is probably Puckett's unfortunate glaucoma. He left the game still on top of it, still an All-Star, still capable of hitting .300. Mattingly's numbers slid in his last four or five years due to his back injuries and that brought his career numbers down a little. Like Dale Murphy, he held on too long, battling injuries and because of it, probably isn't a Hall of Fame player. Oh, the other thing would probably be Puckett's two World Series Championships.
Discussing Mattingly and his defensive abilities seems like a pretty good segue into the Gold Glove discussion. Be sure to look back at my selections for the Gold Glove Awards and we will compare them to the actual choices:
Catcher - Seth's choice - Bengie Molina, Actual winner - Bengie Molina
First Base - Seth's choice - Doug Mientkiewicz, Actual winner - John Olerud.
Here's what I wrote six weeks ago:
Many will argue that John Olerud should win this again this season, and Olerud is very solid defensively. But, he's no Mientkiewicz. I don't know what the Range Factor for Mientkiewicz is this season, but from seeing how far he goes to field grounders, he's got great range! Olerud doesn't. The only reason Olerud stole the award from Mientkiewicz last year was because Doug didn't hit last year (which still bothers me!). This year, Olerud isn't hitting at all. That's probably the truthful reason why Mientkiewicz will reclaim what is rightfully his.
So, as you can guess, I was incredibly disappointed by Doug not winning the Gold Glove. I know that Managers and coaches vote for the award, and they can't vote for their own players, but what am I missing? Help me out here. I really need your help. Why does this bother me so much? I would love to add a Discussion Question Part 2 for this Friday (so please e-mail me by Thursday night)… How can we explain how Doug Mientkiewicz did not get the Gold Glove this year? I feel like I deserve an answer to that question from the league offices or something. I don't get it, and I would love to hear your thoughts on this. Am I just completely biased or blinded by my loyalty toward the Twins? Please e-mail me and help me understand this, because it has bothered me since I heard the news yesterday afternoon.
Second Base - Seth's choice - Bret Boone, Actual winner - Bret Boone.
Shortstop - Seth's choice - Alex Rodriguez, Actual winner - Alex Rodriguez.
Third Base - Seth's choice - Corey Koskie, Actual winner - Eric Chavez.
Here is what I wrote at that time:
I honestly believe that Corey Koskie deserves this award. I thought he should have won it last year. And yes, I am biased, but by seeing Koskie every day, I appreciate just how remarkable a defensive third baseman he is. That said, Oakland's Eric Chavez will probably win it again, and if he does, it's warranted. Chavez is very good at the hot corner too.
So, as you can see, I'm not at all surprised by this one. Chavez would have won it anyway, but Koskie also missed a lot of games. Chavez is great!
Outfielders - Seth's choices - Ichiro, Torii Hunter, Mike Cameron, Actual winners - Ichiro, Torii Hunter, Mike Cameron.
Pitcher - Seth's choice - Mike Mussina, Actual winner - Mike Mussina.
So there you have it. I got seven out of nine right. And one of those, 3B, I knew would go to Chavez. The first base decision bothers me to no end. Again, Olerud is a solid first baseman, no question. But he can't do half of what Doug Mientkiewicz does. Maybe some in Seattle will disagree. All I know is Mientkiewicz is the best I have ever seen.
Tomorrow, the National League Gold Gloves will be announced. Again, be sure to check out my choices and we'll see if I was even close.
DISCUSSION QUESTION OF WEEK (reprinted from Monday's posting)
We haven't had a Discussion Question of the Week for a while. I have a new one for you to help me answer. As we have done in the past, I will ask a question today, and I'd like to hear your opinions on the question. On Friday, I will post the responses I receive. So, be sure to send me an e-mail and have your voice heard. So, here is this week's question:
What is your favorite sport to watch? And Why? The second part of the question is just as important as the first. I realize that the majority of people that check out my site on a daily basis are baseball people, but I am beginning to get more and more basketball fans as well. But why? What is it about baseball that we love watching? What is it about basketball? Here is the list of my personal favorite sports to watch, in order (subject to change by Thursday). On Friday, I will also discuss the reasons that I enjoy them (or don't as much, in some cases).
1.) Baseball
2.) NBA Basketball
3.) NFL Football
4.) NCAA Basketball
5.) NCAA Football
6.) College Hockey
7.) NHL Hockey
8.) Other?
· feel free to distinguish "watching" as "on TV" or "in person", because, hockey is not enjoyable at all, for me, to watch on TV. However, watching games in person is as exciting as any of the above sports.
· Feel free to distinguish between regular season and playoffs? I think College basketball is pretty boring, except during March Madness. That said, if college football went to a tournament, I might enjoy that more than the current Bowl process.
· Baseball is a grind, with six games a week, over a 6 month period. The NFL plays one game per week. Does that factor in?
· Does the sports marketing affect how much you enjoy the sport? The NBA markets its players. Warren Sapp is right, the NFL markets the teams, and not the players. I don't really know who the NHL markets.
· Other thoughts, I'm sure I missed many reasons. Actually, I know I have, because I've got more that I'll share on Friday.
· Because some might ask, I was driving to my parent's place last Friday afternoon, a 3+ hour drive. I spent some time listening to the Sports Brothers on ESPN radio, and this was their topic. I didn't listen to the whole thing because I like to sing to myself (really loudly) in the car so I spent a lot of time doing that too, but I caught a few of their points.
Take a look back at our previous Discussion Questions of the Week to see the format. I like giving the readers a chance to express their feelings, so I basically just post what you write (although expletives will be removed!). Here they are:
6/26/2003 - Would the Greatest Be SO Great?
8/8/2003 - Who Do You Want To Talk To?
8/15/2003 - All-Time Best Lineups
8/29/2003 - Your Thoughts on the Twins
9/5/2003 - Is Terry Ryan "The Man" or "The Goat"?
10/16/03 - Your Thoughts on the 2004 Minnesota Twins Roster
So there you have it, send me an e-mail and let me know your thoughts. Then check back Friday and see the results.
TIMBERWOLVES THOUGHTS (and more hoops)
First, Kevin Garnett was fined $5,000 for throwing the basketball into the stands after getting his second technical foul Monday night in Utah. I would have thought it would have been a lot more than that. Does that mean that the NBA officials are admitting that the double-T's were ridiculous?
Tonight, the Wolves face off against the Sacramento Kings. The Kings are without the services of PF Chris Webber, who is on the Injured List because of his knee.
What the Wolves need to do? Michael Olowokandi needs to play well. He needs to match Vlade Divac. Brad Miller has actually been starting at power forward for the Kings so far, giving the Kings two big men that can both run the court pretty well. I know Kandi will have his ups and downs, especially early in the year though. I would assume that the Wolves will have Latrell Sprewell locked down on Peja Stojakovic as much as possible. Peja (23 ppg) is the Kings best scorer, best shooter from anywhere on the court. Of course, the other option is to play Madsen against Miller and have Kevin Garnett matchup with Peja. That would work too. Latrell would then be able to play Doug Christie, one of the more underrated players in the NBA. The Sam Cassell/Mike Bibby matchup may be as intriguing as any though. Cassell is more of a scorer, but both can knock down open shots. Where the Kings currently have the advantage is in Bobby Jackson. Jackson, at 13.3 points a game, is third on the team in scoring, behind Peja and Bibby, and just ahead of Vlade and Miller. He can do so much on the court, and his quickness can not be match by many in the NBA. Having Troy Hudson for this matchup would be very good.
The Wolves are at home. They will need the crowd to get into it. They're going to need an other-worldly performance by Kevin Garnett. Sprewell and Cassell will have to continue to assert themselves in the offense. The role players will all have to contribute. I think the Wolves can take advantage on the boards, and if they can do that, that would be helpful. What I'm saying is that the Wolves will have to play a near-perfect game to beat the Kings.
Lebron v. Carmelo, tonight on ESPN. They've been advertising it for some time now. Carmelo played last night in Indiana against the Pacers. The Nuggets lost 71-60 in yet another low-scoring affair. Carmelo shot just 1-13 from the field on the game and ended up with 2 points, 0 rebounds and 0 assists. Lebron and the Cavs haven't played since Saturday night, so they should be good and rested.
THE LAKE SHOW continues to roll. They went to 4-0 with a 113-107 win over the Bucks in Milwaukee. It was the fourth consecutive game that all five starters scored in double figures. This team is great so far. Look at the shot distribution last night. Kobe Bryant took 22 shots, then Shaquille O'Neal, Karl Malone and Gary Payton all took 15 shots. Devean George has done everything that the team could have possibly asked from 'The Other Starter'. In case you don't know, Devean George is the favorite player of this website because he is from a Division III school that is in the same conference that I went to school in. I was able to see him play a few times in college and was thoroughly impressed!
Let's just take a look at their season stats, through just four games.

I love the NBA and won't apologize for it. If there are others out there that enjoy a little hoops commentary, be sure to let me know. Send me an e-mail.
Did anyone else watch the return of 8 Simple Rules last night on ABC? It was an hour-long, the first episode that did not include John Ritter. It was one of the most touching hours of television I remember ever watching. No! I didn't cry! My eyes just sweat, just a little bit!
Average Joe was even better than I had hoped. Kathy Griffin is pure evil, but it makes for a good show. The star of the show was clearly excited about getting to meet the guys and was visibly disappointed at the 'average' crop of guys presented to her. But I have to say that she did a very good job of hiding that disappointment and enjoying the time meeting these guys. That makes her really attractive!
Joe Millionaire finally got fairly good on Monday night. I was really disappointed that Linda asked to be removed from the show. I think David was equally upset by that decision. Some of those women are evil. I don't think this show is going to end well at all!
Playmakers is really good. It may be way over-the-top on many of the issues it is dealing with, but it's good drama, based in the sports world, in a team's locker room. I find it incredibly interesting. And hey, anything that has Snoop Dogg in has to be good, right?
Well, that's it for today! Wednesday. Halfway through the week! E-mail me any comments on anything! Have a great day!

Comments about Solid Top 3-Piece Drop Leaf Dining Set Cappuccino:
the chairs could use a little more support.
(1 of 1 customers found this review helpful)
Perfect for my small apt.
By Kit Kat
from Columbus, oh
This set is perfect for my small apt dining area. My 4yr. Old daughter really likes it. The table and chairs are low enough, I don't have to worry about them tipping over as has happened with her on the higher table and bar chairs. The only negative is the set would have been easier to assemble if there had been written directions along wit the pictures. All in all a great fit for my daughter and me.
nice table and chairs
By mrab
from new york
The table fits perfectly into a small kitchenette. The drop leaf is very useful.It's a bit of a challenge putting it together, but once you figure it out it is nice and sturdy. Once put together it looks great.
Great value for the price

Bought this dinette set for our Aunt who is in a assisted living facility. It was perfect size for her room. We found it easy to assemble and quite comfortable to sit on. Lightweight and nice looking.

About Me Budget Shopper
Best Uses
I just finished assembling our set. It is very sturdy, quality furniture! We have a tiny apartment and not much of a budget, so this works wonderfully for us. The only reason I am not giving it 5 stars is that the chairs are a little small; my husband and I are both about 5'9". They aren't uncomfortable, just built for smaller people. Otherwise, regardless of price, these are some handsome, sturdy, quality pieces. By the way, assembly is super easy. It just takes a little while. I probably would have gone faster with another person, but since I did it myself it was slower going. I am very pleased with my purchase, and look forward to enjoying my furniture!
