Catcher isn't much better offensively than shortstop, if at all, and it's also the first position in which we lack a five-star player. The reduced playing time of catchers makes them worth less than other positions, especially when combined with their generally anemic bats. There are exceptions, of course, especially for catchers who pick up extra plate appearances at DH or first -- those players get a boost in value based on quantity, something that's often overlooked in favor of quality and rate. Quantity counts for a whole lot in fantasy, though, as anyone who has experienced shortened seasons from stars due to injuries can attest.
If you missed the rest of the infield, give the first base, second base, third base, and shortstop rankings a look. That also applies if you need to read up on why a tiered ranking system is in use, and why I think it'll be of use to you.
One thing I should mention: these rankings were created with two starting catchers in mind. If you're in a league with just one starting catcher, you can lop something like $5 (or half a tier) off of the value of most of these guys. That would essentially make everyone but the first two catchers three-star or worse. (And, if you're still angry about where I had Napoli/Santana relative to Prince Fielder, should also help explain that discrepancy, too. Fielder is better than those two in leagues with one starting catcher.)
Four-Star ($20-29) | ||
Napoli, Mike | C,1B | TEX |
Santana, Carlos | C,1B | CLE |
Mauer, Joe | C | MIN |
I'll let you in on a little secret: I might like Victor Martinez more than all of these guys. But alas, his knee has been surgically repaired, and he won't be available in 2012. Mike Napoli ends up in first by default, as he's one of those guys who will pick up plate appearances elsewhere. Also, he has the benefit of playing half of his games in the offensive haven in Arlington -- in fact, I don't think he's as good as he was last year, but he's in the same context, and that's what matters. Carlos Santana also gets a PA boost for time at places besides backstop, and he can hit a little bit in his own right.
Joe Mauer is a better hitter than all of these guys. But, while health might not be a fantasy category, it's definitely a skill, and it might be one Mauer lacks. He's not a guarantee to miss a ton of time, but you have to factor the possibility in.
Three-Star ($10-19) | ||
McCann, Brian | C | ATL |
Montero, Miguel | C | ARI |
Posey, Buster | C | SFN |
Avila, Alex | C | DET |
Soto, Geovany | C | CHN |
Wieters, Matt | C | BAL |
Arencibia, J.P. | C | TOR |
Brian McCann has done a pretty good job of being Brian McCann for seven years now. Miguel Montero and Alex Avila haven't been Brian McCann for nearly as long, but they're close enough to be in the same tier. Buster Posey's snapped leg kept him from contributing at his expected level last year, but even with his pitcher-friendly home park and a meh offense surrounding him, I like him to be worth $10-15 or so this season. Soto needs a higher batting average to merit this ranking, but he seems to get one of those every other year. So, uh, maybe this ranking isn't optimistic? (It probably is.)
It's kind of funny that Matt Wieters used to have questions about his defense but not his bat, and now we're looking at him from the complete opposite view. That being said, he's still got a pretty good stick for a backstop, and should easily earn $10-15 or so. J.P. Arencibia's average might keep him under $10 like Soto, but if he can keep that at a tolerable level, he's a decent option for the back of this tier.
Two-Star ($9 and under) | ||
Doumit, Ryan | C | MIN |
Hundley, Nick | C | SDN |
Martin, Russell | C | NYA |
Buck, John | C | FLO |
Molina, Yadier | C | SLN |
Ramos, Wilson | C | WAS |
Iannetta, Chris | C | ANA |
Suzuki, Kurt | C | OAK |
Lucroy, Jonathan | C | MIL |
Saltalamacchia, Jarrod | C | BOS |
Hernandez, Ramon | C | COL |
Pierzynski, A.J. | C | CHA |
Barajas, Rod | C | PIT |
Thole, Josh | C | NYN |
Ruiz, Carlos | C | PHI |
This is where most of the meat of the catcher tier is, and where you're going to want to pull your second backstop from in leagues that count them. There isn't a sexy option among the group, as they all have some issues. Doumit often misses time, but hits when he's around. Nick Hundley can hit, but his park hates that particular attribute of his. Russell Martin will probably wear himself down and ruin his overall value. John Buck's new park might hinder power, given its expansive dimensions. Yadier Molina is useful, but doesn't excel in any particular area. Wilson Ramos has potential, but isn't considered an impact catcher for fantasy by any means.
Chris Iannetta is leaving Coors behind. Kurt Suzuki is tolerable as a fantasy catcher, at best. That can basically be said about all of these guys, though Jarrod Saltalamacchia, if he can avoid the total black hole months he experienced in April and September of 2011, might have the potential to not disappoint. (Now that's some strong backing.)
One-Star | ||
Perez, Salvador | C | KCA |
Olivo, Miguel | C | SEA |
Mesoraco, Devin | C | CIN |
Torrealba, Yorvit | C | TEX |
Hanigan, Ryan | C | CIN |
Molina, Jose | C | TBA |
Ellis, A.J. | C | LAN |
Castro, Jason | C | HOU |
Snyder, Chris | C | HOU |
Marson, Lou | C | CLE |
Baker, John | C | SDN |
Kottaras, George | C | MIL |
Flowers, Tyler | C | CHA |
Ross, David | C | ATL |
Rosario, Wilin | C | COL |
Pena, Brayan | C | KCA |
Jaso, John | C | SEA |
Teagarden, Taylor | C | BAL |
Flores, Jesus | C | WAS |
McKenry, Michael | C | PIT |
Castillo, Welington | C | CHN |
Whiteside, Eli | C | SFN |
Shoppach, Kelly | C | BOS |
Treanor, Matt | C | LAN |
Cervelli, Francisco | C | NYA |
Perez is at least interesting from a potential standpoint, and Miguel Olivo can give you some power. The Reds' backstops are generally useful stopgaps for fantasy, if nothing else. Maybe Chris Snyder will keep on hitting for the Astros, especially now that he's in a better park for hitters. Maybe Wilin Rosario's impressive minor league numbers will translate to the majors, and give him enough plate appearances to make him worth the $1. There's a whole lot of "maybe" in this tier, and if you can throw $1 at it in AL- and NL-only leagues, by all means, do so. But just don't expect a guaranteed return on your investment.

It might get a little loud in parts of Tucson for the next week.
Davis-Monthan Air Force Base officials say a dozen Air National Guard pilots are in town for readiness training.
They'll be conducting daily operations in their F-16s until March 21 in Tucson.
The base also will be conducting a routine operational readiness exercise through Thursday.
Davis-Monthan officials say alarms, sirens and loudspeaker announcements may be heard from residences near the base.
They say the exercises are held to ensure Davis-Monthan's airmen "maintain the highest levels of proficiency and readiness for worldwide military and humanitarian operations."

As Congress approaches a potential showdown on raising the nation's borrowing limit, President Barack Obama is asking some of the country's top corporate executives to help him work with Republicans.
It's a surprising approach for Obama, who spoke Wednesday at a business roundtable. The president also said he will not negotiate with Republicans over raising the borrowing limit, which the government could hit as early as next month. It's a surprising tactic considering Obama's statements during the 2012 presidential campaign, where he consistently said the government, not the business owners themselves, were responsible for the success of small businesses. "You didn't build that." Anyone remember that statement from the president?
And now Obama wants members of that same business community to help him win favor with Republicans? It's hard to see that happening.
Obama will certainly have his work cut out for him; Republicans are preparing a long list of things to attach to the discussion of raising the borrowing limit, including forcing construction of the Keystone XL pipeline, reforming tax codes, and blocking funding for Obama's health care law.
We'd be surprised if Obama received enough support from the business world to help him stand firm against the Republican demands. Actually, we'd be shocked.

Such a surprising and fun taste that it's almost a spoil to say that it is alcoholic ( even at less than 5.5%). A really friendly beer, don't take it too seriously because it is meant to be a holiday palate stimulator to get you ready for thanksgiving. Really great for the fall season! Remember to judge it as it is supposed to be judged: a seasonal "candy" beer low in ABV that is merely supposed to taste good and get your taste buds ready for thanksgiving

A- pours a dark amber color with a fizzy two-finger head that reduces to a small fizzy layer
S- at first it smells like a wittier with lots of lemon peel, but as it warms some clove, coriander and nutmeg comes out, along with some cinnamon chewing gum
T-It's definitely got that classic shandy flavor; candied lemon peel and coriander with that pseudo-lemonaide flavor. Some of the pumpkin spices kick in mid-palate with cinnamon sweetness and clove. sweet finish with more spice linger, flavors of cola
M- medium body with low carbonation leads to a slightly foamy mouthfeel and a crisp finish
O- I wasn't sure about the concept of a pumpkin shandy, it was actually better than expected but not something I'd go after again. A different switch up in the pumpkin ale category

3.23/5 rDev -7.4%
look: 3 | smell: 3 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 3 | overall: 3
Aroma: Lots of ginger and lemon in the initial aroma. A light nutmeg aroma arrives as this is swirled. Sweet and tart battle it out on the nose.
Appearance: Deep orange in color. There is a slight haze, but not much. Large off-white head that persists well.
Flavor: A tart lemon flavor fades to a sweet classic pumpkin pie finish. I get nutmeg at the back of the tongue and a dry sweet-tart finish. No hop at all. Mouthfeel is just a bit more than light. The spicing is perfect--bringing out the pumpkin pie flavors well. As it warms though, this beer gets a bit flabby and loses its edge.
Overall: A good experiment that I didn't think would work. Better than expected, and refreshing. Drink it fast, though because it is best cold.

Any restricted access area shall be clearly indicated by prominent signs indicating that firearms and other weapons are prohibited in the area. (2) Cities, towns, counties, and other municipalities may enact laws and ordinances: (a) Restricting the discharge of firearms in any portion of their respective jurisdictions where there is a reasonable likelihood that humans, domestic animals, or property will be jeopardized. Such laws and ordinances shall not abridge the right of the individual guaranteed by Article I, section 24 of the state Constitution to bear arms in defense of self or others; and (b) Restricting the possession of firearms in any stadium or convention center, operated by a city, town, county, or other municipality, except that such restrictions shall not apply to: (i) Any pistol in the possession of a person licensed under RCW 9.41.070 or exempt from the licensing requirement by RCW 9.41.060; or (ii) Any showing, demonstration, or lecture involving the exhibition of firearms. (3)(a) Cities, towns, and counties may enact ordinances restricting the areas in their respective jurisdictions in which firearms may be sold, but, except as provided in (b) of this subsection, a business selling firearms may not be treated more restrictively than other businesses located within the same zone.

(b) Cities, towns, and counties may restrict the location of a business selling firearms to not less than five hundred feet from primary or secondary school grounds, if the business has a storefront, has hours during which it is open for business, and posts advertisements or signs observable to passersby that firearms are available for sale. A business selling firearms that exists as of the date a restriction is enacted under this subsection (3)(b) shall be grandfathered according to existing law. (4) Violations of local ordinances adopted under subsection (2) of this section must have the same penalty as provided for by state law. (5) The perimeter of the premises of any specific location covered by subsection (1) of this section shall be posted at reasonable intervals to alert the public as to the existence of any law restricting the possession of firearms on the premises. (6) Subsection (1) of this section does not apply to: (a) A person engaged in military activities sponsored by the federal or state governments, while engaged in official duties; (b) Law enforcement personnel, except that subsection (1)(b) of this section does apply to a law enforcement officer who is present at a courthouse building as a party to an action under chapter 10.14, 10.99, or 26.50 RCW, or an action under Title 26 RCW where any party has alleged the existence of domestic violence as defined in RCW 26.50.010; or (c) Security personnel while engaged in official duties. (7) Subsection (1)(a), (b), (c), and (e) of this section does not apply to correctional personnel or community corrections officers, as long as they are employed as such, who have completed government-sponsored law enforcement firearms training, except that subsection (1)(b) of this section does apply to a correctional employee or community corrections officer who is present at a courthouse building as a party to an action under chapter 10.14, 10.99, or 26.50 RCW, or an action under Title 26 RCW where any party has alleged the existence of domestic violence as defined in RCW 26.50.010.

Review: Wedding Cards offers rudimentary invitations for digital-only delivery
Wedding Cards works well enough, but with the limited number of invitations, bare-bones customization tools, and limited sending options, it is hard to imagine using this as your only wedding announcement or invitation tool. There simply are not enough features and the resulting invitations don't look as polished or as personal as most couples will want.
Wedding Cards has five total cards to choose from, two of which are invitations. Each of them can be customized with your own text, but in most cases that is all you can change. There are no options to add photos, print the … Read more

Working Into the Night to Tow Sunken Capital Oyster Bar River BoatYou may have seen it on the Alabama River, or while eating at Montgomery's Capitol Oyster Bar, a sunken Riverboat. But now, after 14 months resting on it's side, it's finally being removed from the river. Crews from Seamon Wrecker Services of Prattville started working first thing in the morning, and by 6:00 about half of the river boat has been towed over the bank. There is still a lot of work to be done, and Seamon says it's workers will continue until 100% of the boat is on the ground, even if it takes working well into the night. The half submerged river boat has been an eye sore on the Alabama River since it sank in April of last year."The biggest problem is going to be with all the mud in the bottom of it, the boat itself is about 60,000 pounds, and then we have the mud on top of that, and probably add another 20,000 pounds to it," said Bubba Seamon, owner of Seamon Wrecker Services.
Seamon Wrecker Service partnered with the city of Montgomery to tow the Capitol Oyster Bar Riverboat, volunteering about $30,000 worth of free work to pull it out.
But the towing process hasn't been easy, Seamon Wreckers is using four wreckers, and a bulldozer to get it on shore. Once it's there, it will be stay on the boat ramp for a couple of days, while Sabel Steel uses a crane and torch burner to break up the boat before transporting and processing it into scrap. "It will probably take our burner two or three days to downsize our boat and take it to our facility then after that it will probably take a week or two," said Sean Sabel, with Sabel Steel. Sabel Steel says it will salvage and recycle close to 75 to 85 percent of the river boat. |

A Hell of a Ride
Ben Woolard
Ben Woolard of Irving Materials Inc. has worked in the concrete industry for 62 years; he has been with IMI since 1973.
"It's been a hell of a ride," he says of a career that began when he was 14 years old. Woolard got his start doing odd jobs for Debolt Concrete in Richmond, Indiana. "[I started out] just washing windows and doing this and that."
The concrete world has gone through dramatic changes in the past 60 years. Since 1947 Woolard has seen the development of decorative concrete, the first concrete sports dome at the University of Illinois in Champaign, Ill., and the introduction of fiber reinforcement to strengthen concrete. Woolard's ascension has reflected the growth of the industry around him. Spending almost his entire life in concrete, Woolard rose from a window-washer and completer of odd-jobs to a manager of five plants in Northeastern Indiana.
"Just moved up," Woolard says frankly of his career. He began his time at IMI managing its plant in Cambridge, Ind., before he rose in the ranks to manage five plants for the company.
Woolard has seen the industry transform. He saw ready-mix trucks switch from front- to rear-discharge mixing and the price of fuel leap from a dime-a-gallon to $3. "The first concrete I ever sold was $13 a yard, now it's over a hundred dollars," he says.
Woolard's first job at IMI was as a plant manager and he was a manager at the company for 30 years. When he started, the plant he managed was one of seven IMI owned; today the company has 130 concrete plants. "It has been great seeing the growth," he says.
Six years ago Woolard semi-retired and became the manager of IMI's used equipment sales. Woolard works less now, but he is still right in the mix at IMI, watching the world of concrete grow.

2011 Inside Out Exhibit to open July 23 at UW-Sheboygan
Indoor and outdoor sculptures on display this summer
Area art lovers are invited to visit the scenic University of Wisconsin-Sheboygan campus this summer and fall for the sixth UW-Sheboygan Inside Out Sculpture Exhibition. The biennial exhibit, which aims to awaken greater interest in sculpture among Sheboygan area residents and visitors, will open to the public on July 23 and be on display through October 10.
This year's Inside Out exhibition features work from professional artists from across southeastern Wisconsin. The collection of both indoor and outdoor pieces offers a broad cross-section of some of the finest sculpture currently being produced by professional artists, art teachers and their students around this area of the state, Dan Smith, UW-Sheboygan Fine Arts Gallery director.
"The exhibit is a nice mix of experience artists and art and graduate students from across the state. The mediums include porcelain, stone, forged metal, wood and mixed media. A few pieces are shown outside, but many are in or near the Fine Arts Gallery," Smith said. "Visitors are welcome to walk the campus and see many of the permanent sculptures," Smith said.
This year's exhibiting artists include Rick Ponzio, Niki Johnson, Micah Zayner, Ashley Buczkiewicz, Jeff Noska and Jon Kays.
An opening reception will be held Saturday, July 23 from 2-4 p.m. in the Fine Arts Gallery. The public is invited to join the artists as they circulate and discuss their work. Guests will have the opportunity to meet many of the artists and view the sculptures both inside the Gallery and on the campus grounds.
All indoor sculptures can be viewed inside the Fine Arts Gallery, located inside the Fine Arts Building, Monday-Thursday from 9 a.m.-9 p.m. and Fridays, 9 a.m.-6 p.m., while outdoor exhibits may be viewed across the campus during daylight hours.
A site map outlining the locations of the various outdoor sculptures will be available in the Fine Arts Building. UW-Sheboygan is on University Drive between Union and Indiana avenues. For easy access to the exhibit, please park in the East Parking Lot and access the Fine Arts Building. A wide selection of sculptures from Wisconsin artists are showcased in the 2011 University of Wisconsin-Sheboygan "Inside Outside" Invitational Sculpture Show.
For more information on the show, contact Smith at (920) 980-1767 or e-mail email@example.com.

White Pizza
I wanted to show you what I meant about the pretty grasses, so here you go, a picture of the road to our new house! We are officially moved in! Yay! I am so happy to be here, I can't even tell you. For my friends who do not live in Colorado, no those are not clouds on the horizon, those are the mountains :-)
Well, it's been a really long week of packing, moving, and unpacking, which isn't over yet, but I have begun cooking in our new kitchen. Last night we made a white pizza which was heavenly. I used a frozen gluten-free Gillian's pizza dough, and let it defrost on the counter. Then I rolled it out with some extra virgin olive oil. Next time I think I'll put down some unbleached parchment paper first, because it stuck to the sheet a little. I topped it with more extra virgin olive oil, a little ghee, garlic powder, goat cheese (Woolwich), and black olives... yummy!
2 comments:
Gawsh that looks SO GOOD. I hope I can tolerate goat cheese. I haven't had pizza in so long! (I can't have tomatoes either so this is perfect).

Hi, (not you?) | Member Center | Sign Out
Posted: 8:57 p.m. Monday, Nov. 30, 2009
By Jamie Dupree
President Obama goes to West Point today to lay out his new plans for Afghanistan in a prime time address to the American people, with arguments that we've all heard before. Except it was about Iraq and a different President.
"This is not an open ended committment," said White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs on Monday, stressing that President Obama is not ratcheting up the U.S. military presence in Afghanistan for years and years to come.
That phrase rang a bell, and it didn't take long to find a briefing by the late Tony Snow in September 2007, where reporters were pressing him about whether the mission in Iraq was exactly that. He told reporters they were playing games.
"You absolutely understand it's a verbal game, simply because if I can't give you an absolute date, you define it as an open-ended commitment," Snow said.
In January of that year, President Bush had used the phrase in a major speech laying out why a surge was needed in Iraq:
"I have made it clear to the Prime Minister and Iraq's other leaders that America's commitment is not open-ended," said Mr. Bush.
"This new strategy will not yield an immediate end to suicide bombings, assassinations, or IED attacks," Mr. Bush added. I use that quote imagining that President Obama might say much the same at West Point this evening.
Look for talk today about benchmarks. That was a catch phrase used during the heated debates over Iraq to try to make sure the Iraqi government was actually making progress, and now the same thing will be applied to the Afghan government as well.
"I think nobody should underestimate the committment of a President that has thus far doubled the number of American men and women on the ground in Afghanistan," said Gibbs, who at that point sounded like he was channeling Tony Snow from a few years ago.
As for any revolt by Congressional Democrats - don't look for that anytime soon.
Basically, the Pentagon should have enough money in the military budget to fund extra troops going to Afghanistan through next May or June.
After that - just a few months before the elections - then the Congress will be asked to approve extra money to fund those operations.
And then, we will see if liberals are ready to back up their talk on the street, and actually use the Power of the Purse to force a change in Afghan policy.

Cards beat Pirates in 5 hr, 14 inning game; move to within 2
Backup outfielder Adron Chambers singled home the winning run in the 14th inning as the Cardinals outlasted the Pittsburgh Pirates and cut into their NL Central lead with a 4-3 victory on Tuesday night.
Sam Freeman (1-0) allowed a walk in a scoreless 14th for the Cardinals, who saddled the Pirates with their fourth straight loss and pulled within two games of them with a win in the 4-hour, 55-minute game.
Pittsburgh had four hits the first time through the order against Adam Wainwright and led 3-0 after two innings on homers by Andrew McCutchen and Jordy Mercer. They had six hits the rest of the way.
Both teams had chances in extra innings before the Cardinals, who had dropped four of five, cashed in.
Jon Jay singled off Jared Hughes (2-3) with one out in the 14th with his fourth hit. Jay stole second and then raced home and beat left fielder Starling Marte's throw.
Westbrook, Cardinals beat Brewers 6-5
MILWAUKEE (AP) - Jake Westbrook allowed one run over six innings for his 100th career win and the St. Louis Cardinals held off the Milwaukee Brewers 6-5 on Thursday night.
Westbrook (2-1), came in with a 0.98 ERA, best in the majors - it increased to 1.10. In his 12th season, he walked three and struck out four. The Brewers were 1 for 8 with runners in scoring position against him.
Westbrook allowed Norichika Aoki's double to open the game and then nothing more until one out in the fourth when the Brewers pushed across a run on three consecutive singles. He struck out Alex Gonzalez and then fanned Wily Peralta (2-2), his third strikeout of the inning.
Westbrook left with a 6-1 lead for the relievers to protect, but the Brewers scored twice in the seventh, one in the eighth and one in the ninth.
Reaves scores twice, backs Elliott in Blues' win
ST. LOUIS (AP) - Ryan Reaves scored twice and Brian Elliott earned his NHL-leading 10th win in April in the St. Louis Blues' 4-1 victory over the Calgary Flames on Thursday night.
Reaves scored the Blues 1st and 4th goals in the game. In between, Andy McDonald scored a power play goal and Alex Steen scored the goal that made it a 3-1 St. Louis lead.
St. Louis, which has won five of six, moved into fourth place in the Western Conference. The Blues have 58 points, one ahead of Los Angeles and San Jose. They can clinch the No. 4 seed and home ice in the opening round of the playoffs with a victory over Chicago on Saturday.
Los Angeles and San Jose will meet Saturday in the final regular-season game for both teams.
Calgary, which will miss the playoffs for the fourth straight year, has won five of eight but will end the season Friday at Chicago.
Elliott made 18 saves in improving to 10-2 in April. He has three shutouts in the month and has allowed only 15 goals.
Bullpen holds up as Molina, Miller lead Cardinals past Nationals 3-2
WASHINGTON (AP) - Yadier Molina drove in the go-ahead run in the sixth inning, backing Shelby Miller's strong start last night, and the St. Louis Cardinals returned to the site of their Game 5 NL division series victory last season with a 3-2 victory over the Washington Nationals.
The other big hit for St. Louis was Allen Craig's two-run double in the third.
Miller (3-1) struck out eight in 6 2-3 innings, allowing two runs and four hits.
All the Cardinals' runs came against Dan Haren (1-3), who gave up three runs and six hits in five-plus innings.
Edward Mujica pitched a 1-2-3 ninth for his second save. The Cardinals have alternated wins and losses over their last nine games.
Washington has lost seven of 10.
Cardinals' bullpen can't get the job done in Philadelphia
PHILADELPHIA (AP) - Erik Kratz hit a three-run home run to break the game open in the eighth inning and lead the Philadelphia Phillies to a 7-3 win over the St. Louis Cardinals on Sunday night.
Mike Adams (1-1) tossed a scoreless eighth inning to help the Phillies split the four-game series. The Phillies snapped a 3-3 tie with a four-run eighth that put the game away.
Michael Young extended his hitting streak to 12 games with an infield single off reliever Mitchell Boggs (0-2). Dom Brown singled to put runners on the corners with one out. Ben Revere made it 4-3 on a go-ahead single up the middle.
Kratz then hit the first pitch deep into the left-field seats for a three-run homer and a 7-3 lead.
Blues ride Elliott, beat Coyotes 2-1 in shootout
ST. LOUIS (AP) - Brian Elliott stopped all three chances in a shootout for the second straight game, bouncing back after a late goal denied him a fourth shutout this month, and the St. Louis Blues beat the Phoenix Coyotes 2-1 last night to step closer to a playoff berth.
Radim Vrbata's power-play goal tied it with 1:07 to go. The Coyotes, who were blanked 4-0 on Monday by the Sharks, capitalized on a boarding penalty against Blues captain David Backes.
Andy McDonald was the first to go in the shootout and got the only goal, beating Chad Johnson.
David Perron scored his first goal in 17 games for the offensively challenged Blues, who have scored two or fewer goals in 12 of their last 16 games. They've won 10 of those games thanks to tight defense and strong play in goal. They are 5-1 in shootouts.
Beltran, Wainwright lead Cards past Phillies 4-3
PHILADELPHIA (AP) - Carlos Beltran hit a go-ahead homer in the eighth, Adam Wainwright pitched seven solid innings and the St. Louis Cardinals escaped a ninth-inning jam for a 4-3 win over the Philadelphia Phillies last night.
Philadelphia put runners at first and third with nobody out against Edward Mujica, but the fill-in closer retired three straight batters to preserve the victory.
Yadier Molina went 3 for 4 with two RBIs for the Cardinals, who had seven hits one night after getting held to Beltran's seventh-inning double in a 5-0 loss to A.J. Burnett and the Pittsburgh Pirates.
Wainwright (3-1) wasn't as sharp as his previous start, when he pitched a four-hitter and matched a career high with 12 strikeouts Saturday in an 8-0 win over Milwaukee, but he was still effective.
Burnett flirts with no-no, Bucs beat Cardinals 5-0
PITTSBURGH (AP) - A.J. Burnett took a no-hitter into the seventh inning nearly 12 years after throwing the only one of his career, pitching the Pittsburgh Pirates to a 5-0 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals on Wednesday night.
Burnett (1-2) lost his bid with two outs in the seventh on Carlos Beltran's double to right-center. That was the lone hit given up by the 36-year-old right-hander in seven dominant innings.
The only other runner he allowed came when he hit Daniel Descalso with a 2-2 pitch with one out in the sixth to end his shot at a perfect game. Burnett struck out eight to raise his season total to 35 in 24 innings.
His bid for a no-hitter came on a night when he recorded the 2,000th strikeout of his 15-year career. Burnett reached the milestone when he caught Beltran looking to lead off the second.
Westbrook throws shutout, Cards tee off on Reds
ST. LOUIS (AP) - Jake Westbrook pitched a five-hit shutout and the St. Louis Cardinals backed him with four home runs yesterday in routing the Cincinnati Reds 10-0.
Jon Jay, Carlos Beltran and Matt Adams homered in a span of seven at-bats off Homer Bailey as the Cardinals took two of three from the NL Central champions.
Matt Carpenter added a two-run homer on a four-hit day. Adams homered for the second straight game and added an RBI double and walk.
The Cardinals have dominated the Reds at home the last decade, losing just three of 28 series with two splits.
Westbrook (1-1) threw his fourth career shutout, walking four and striking out three.

DANVILLE True Grit is when you are a 14-year-old girl from Yell County, Ark., and youve just shot a dangerous outlaw and the guns recoil has sent you backward into a pit, and you are wedged in the pit and sinking fast into a cave below where bats are brushing your legs, and you reach out for something to hold on to and find a rotting corpse beside you and its full of angry rattlers, and then it turns out you didnt kill the outlaw, hes up at the rim of the pit laughing at you, about to shoot you and you dont lose your nerve. Thats True Grit, wrote Eliot Fremont-Smith, critic for the New York Times.
True Grit is the selection of the Adult Book Discussion on Tuesday, April 26, from 6:30 to 8 p.m. at Cafe 505, 505 S. Market St., across from the Municipal Building in Danville.
The novel is told from the perspective of 14-year-old Mattie Ross, shortly after the end of the American Civil War. Mattie leaves her mother and siblings in search of Tom Chaney, the hired hand that robbed and murdered her father. In order to hunt him down, she hires a U.S. Marshall with True Grit, Rooster Cogburn. They are joined by Texas Ranger LaBoeuf (pronounced La Beef) who had already tracked Chaney across several states. Together Mattie, Cogburn and LaBoeuf follow Chaney into Indian territory in order to bring him to justice.
True Grit, Charles Portis most famous novel, was published in 1968 and became the basis for the movie starring John Wayne. In 2010, a remake of the film produced and directed by the Coen brothers was nominated for several Academy Awards and starred Jeff Bridges and Matt Damon.
Leading the discussion will be Will Durbin, a graduate of Xavier University. This program is free and open to the public and sponsored by the Public Library of Mount Vernon and Knox County. Copies of the novel are available at the Danville Public Library.

Slavoc awoke from gunfire in the distance. He jumped out of bed and looked through the window for any sign of trouble. No evident sign of trouble could be seen. "Just see what's going on". Slavoc quickly dressed himself, grabbing his weapons and explosives before he ran out the room. Running for the door Slav slid to a stop when the watchman asked what he was doing. "There's gunfire I need to check it out, and thats Major to you".
"Sorry sir" said the watchman "It's just some wild dogs as the main road checkpoint, happens all the time".
"Radio the checkpoint, I want a status report on it" he yelled.
The watchman contacted the checkpoint. The radio crackled "Lots of dogs, need back up uhh, two people slipped by during the fire fight, we need more men here send help"!
"Send two squads to support them, then send the base to red alert when I radio you. Set your radio to channel 09, call sign is Ironhawk, yours is Home. Code word is Moscow Moscow Moscow. You got that!
"Yes Major"! the man said in a raised voice.
With that Slavoc ran outside. The crackle of gunfire could still be heard off in the distance. His concern is for the two than ran through the checkpoint, they needed to be captured or killed.

Dr. Trautwein is an entomologist whose research interests lie in the continued discovery and understanding of the evolution and diversification of flies and more broadly, insects, through the use of modern phylogenetic and systematic methods. Even today, basic questions about the evolution of life remain unanswered, and this is particularly the case in regard to insects, the most diverse group of multicellular life on Earth. Within insects, flies are a superradiation of life that accounts for nearly 15% of named species. The impact of flies on both humans and wild ecosystems is great. Fly vectored diseases kill over a million people a year and fly pests cost millions in agricultural damage. To our benefit, flies are also essential pollinators and decomposers, and as model organisms they have played a key role in some of the most important scientific discoveries of the past century. More than any other group of animal's flies offer a measure of just how much life can vary. There are flies that live in petroleum, in the gills of land crabs, on the dung of millipedes and within bee hives. There are wingless flies that live on sheep and others that develop exclusively within the bodies of frogs, spiders or even humans. Flies, in short, are consequential, but also emblematic of the diversity of life.
Trautwein's research includes collecting and sampling organisms (sometimes in remote locales, sometimes in urban backyards), understanding their classification, evolutionary relationships and histories, determining how fast they diversified, and finally using this information to test hypotheses about general features of evolution and its poorly understood rules. While doing so, Dr. Trautwein seeks to draw the public into the process of research and discovery. Her current research focuses are: 1) Higher-level studies of the ancient history of insect and fly evolution 2) Taxonomic and evolutionary studies of bee flies (Diptera: Bombyliidae), a charismatic group of bee and wasp-mimicking parasites and pollinators 3) Citizen science projects that include understanding the diversity of arthropods that live and evolve with us (Wild Life of our Homes- Dunn lab, NCSU) and exploring the species limits of the cicadas of North Carolina.
Though she began her studies as an art major, Trautwein received a BS in Biology from the University of Texas at Austin in 1999. Before returning to graduate school, she assisted with research on frogs in Costa Rica, pigeon guillemots in Alaska, prairie dogs in Utah, and bottlenose dolphins in Florida. An internship at the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History reintroduced her to flies, and as a GAAN Biotechnology fellow she received her Ph.D. in Entomology from North Carolina State University in 2009.

I have know for years what my G-Grandfathers name was but never gave it too much thought other than a family name. While searching through an antique store I found the gray series of 52nd Virginia Infantry written by Robert J. Driver and leafed through it just out of curiosity and found lots family names. That was reason enough for me to buy it. I was into reading other books and put the 52nd on the back burner for a while. Last summer, I revisited the book following along to their battles. Much to my surprise, while going through the book, my G-Grandfather's name popped up! This started me on a yearlong journey to gather the facts about him. He was born in 1849 and signed up in the 52nd at the age of 12. I have nothing telling me at this point in time what he might have been doing at that young age. All went well during the search, marriage, where he lived, how many children he had,etc. until attempting to find a death date. Here the info dried up. All the ancestry websites had nothing on his death date, I sent to Richmond to the Vital records, local library and found nothing. After stumbling around with this this for 3 or 4 months, it finally dawned on me to try to find the funeral home that buried him. I new of an old funeral home in New Hope, Virginia, that had closed 55 years ago. I called all the funeral homes to see if they had those burial records needed and no one had them. I called an old friend to ask about the owners family and found the owners wife was still living. This widow is one of the most active and youngest sounding 83 year old's I have ever known. I first asked if she had transferred her records and right of the bat she asked what was I looking for? She took the name and called me back the next day with the info. His death date was Feb. 12, 1923. **Just a little addition to this, a family member informed me today, 14th June, my G-Grandfather was a blacksmith. Maybe this will give you folks some Ideas. Never quit. Keep exploring all avenues. Last edited on Tue Jun 15th, 2010 12:45 am by Old Blu |

Special populations of students exist in every college and university. Advisors must develop an awareness of their unique characteristics and needs.
According to Skorupa (2002):
When we think of adult learners and how to approach them as advisors and instructors, several aspects of their adult status usually come to mind. Among these are the facts that adults play multiple roles in their lives, that they often have anxiety about returning to school, and that many times they are experiencing some sort of life transition at the time they decide to return to school. One characteristic of current and prospective adult students that is often overlooked, particularly by the administration, is the fact that they are consumers and are generally looking for the most out of their time and money.
Muench (1987) in a paper, A comparative study of the psychosocial needs of adult men and women students in an adult degree program, says:
Non-traditional students need many different kinds of support and assistance from family, friends, and institutions of higher learning. Research evidence suggests that "both sexes have difficulties juggling the roles of student, worker, and family member. Adult students need help in building their self-confidence as students, in acquiring or refreshing study skills, and in managing their time and other resources while in school. In addition, adult students benefit from opportunities to interact with their peers and need to be actively involved in the educational process through sharing their relevant work and life experiences.
Athletes are a unique population with a significant time commitment outside the classroom.
(Kerr, 1996, p. 187)
Cunningham (2003) in his article Multicultural Awareness writes:
There are two guiding principles that we must keep in mind: (1) cultural identity is made up of a myriad of aspects, and (2) while we can learn something from generalizations about cultures, we must not allow these generalizations to cause us to stereotype or over-simply our ideas about others. It is crucial that we preface any discussion of diversity issues with firm declarations that ALL people have cultural identity and that we value ALL forms of diversity, whether they be majority or minority.
(Kerr, 1996, p. 187)
"Advisors cannot merely increase awareness and knowledge about those from other cultures. They must also recognize themselves as cultural creatures and realize that they must first know themselves to appreciate the cultural lenses through which they interpret others." (Cornett-DeVito & Reeves, 1999)
(Kerr, 1996, p. 187)
Pre-professional students are those who hope to attain advanced degrees in highly specialized and competitive fields such as medicine and law.
The first step when interacting with people with disabilities seems obvious: "Treat them as you would treat anyone else. Students with disabilities come to college for the same reasons other students do. They bring with them the same range of backgrounds, intelligence and academic skills."
– Katherine Staeger-Wilson, Director, Disability Resource Center
Act as an advocate. (Hemphill, 2002)
Sheryl Burgstahler from Washington University describes ways to provide equal access in advising services through Universal Design:
An increasing number of students with disabilities are pursuing educational opportunities at the college level. Accessibility to student services including advising is becoming increasingly important. The goal of universal design at Missouri State is equal access for everyone. People with a variety of ages, reading abilities, learning styles, native languages, cultures, learning disabilities, visual, speech, hearing and mobility impairments will be seeking higher education. As an advisor, prepare to be accessible to everyone. Make sure the student
Treat people with disabilities with the same respect and consideration with which you treat others. There are no strict rules when it comes to relating to people with disabilities. However, here are some helpful hints.
(Burgstahler, 2006)
Transfer students are a diverse population varying greatly in age, college preparedness, goals, and expectations. They have had more college experience than new incoming freshmen, but otherwise it is impossible to make generalizations about them. According to Cindy Fiedler, former Transfer Advisor, the following are common characteristics of and effective advising techniques for transfer students:
"Undecided, exploring, or open students come from various age groups, backgrounds, and educational experience. As a result, there is no one proven advisement panacea that works best with every open student." (Steele & McDonald, 2000).
"Students enter higher education at various levels of undecidedness. In fact, these students may be in a cyclical process; they will make a decision and then return to undecidedness due to doubt, lack of information, peer influence, fear, parental pressure, etc. All students in the exploring phase must be assessed as individuals." (Slowinski & Hammock, 2003)
(Slowinski & Hammock, 2003)
Academically at-risk students are those who, for any number or reasons, are not adequately prepared for college.
(Ender and Wilkie, 2000)
(Jones and Becker 2002)

European Currency Quotation
Definition of 'European Currency Quotation'
An indirect quotation in the foreign exchange markets whereby the value of a foreign currency is stated as a per-unit measure of the U.S. dollar. This type of quotation shows how much foreign currency it takes to purchase one U.S. dollar.
Investopedia explains 'European Currency Quotation'
For example, a European currency quote would be C$1.24 per US$1. This explains that it will take 1.24 Canadian dollars to purchase a single unit of U.S. currency. If you wanted to purchase US$1,000 it would cost C$1,240.

But iPad owners, do not update yet! We do not know the exact release date yet, we just know it will be in the near future.
As always, keep a backup of your tweaks and stuff with a backup app like PKGBackup, so the update process will be easier.
Now, we wait and let Pod2g work his magic. :)

Hi Guys,
I'm trying to understand how LC Righs Management works. So what i'm doing is following:
1. Protecting a PDF with a specific preconfigured right in my policy server by using Acrobat Pro.
2. Trying to open same fine in Adobe Reader gives me "An error occured while performing thsi operation. Contact an Administrator if this proplem continues".
Same file can be opend in acrobat pro without any problems.
My certificate is installed. (port is 8443)
Any ideas why ADobe Reader faisl to read a protected PDF?
Is the SSL certificate trusted on the machine that Reader is installed on? One quick way to test this is to access the LiveCycle server from a browser (https://servername:8443), if a security warning is displayed by the browser, then you know that the cert is not trusted on the system. This will cause Reader to throw an error.
Hi Steve,
Yes, SSL is trusted. If it's not strusted, i getting a different message from teh ADobe Reader which actually is reffering to the SSL problem.
Also if SSL is not trusted, file can't be opend in Acrobat Pro. IN my case, file can be opened in ACrobat X Pro but not in Adobe Reader.
Maybe i can check for some log files on the server side for this? (or client if there are any?)
What version or Rights Management was used to protect the PDF, and what are the exact versions of Acrobat Pro and Reader. I can't recall exactly, but I think in the past there were some bugs where certain versions of reader would fail to open policy protected PDFs protected with a certain version of Rights Management. Unfortunately, I can't remember the details. You may want to contact Adobe technical support.

Most people are probably going to be surrounded by food during the holiday season, which makes this time of year a challenge for those people trying to stick to a healthy diet.
Univera Healthcare officials have some simple ideas to help keep people focused on good eating habits.
"Before you go to a party, have a small, healthy snack such as an apple or a handful of raisins and nuts," said Dr. Richard Vienne, Univera Healthcare vice president and chief medical officer. "If you are hungry when you get to the event, your willpower will go out the window."
Bring a healthy dish to the party for everyone to enjoy, such as vegetables and low-fat dip, sliced fruit or black bean dip with baked tortillas.
At parties, consider the choices on the table first, and then decide what to take.
"Move away from the table, walk around and mingle. If you stay next to the food, you are more likely to overeat," Vienne said. "Conversation is calorie-free!"
By focusing on portion size and being aware of what people are eating, people be able to enjoy the traditional foods that are offered this time of year.

[JURIST] US President Barack Obama [official profile] on Thursday reaffirmed [speech transcript] his commitment to closing the Guantanamo Bay detention facility while upholding the rule of law by trying some detainees in federal courts and others in modified military commissions [JURIST news archives]. In a speech focusing on national security issues at the National Archives [official website], Obama said that Guantanamo detainees who are charged with violating American criminal law should be tried in federal courts "whenever feasible." Citing the terrorism convictions of Ramzi Yousef [GlobalSecurity backgrounder], Zacarias Moussaoui, and Ali Saleh Kahlah al-Marri [JURIST news archives] in American courts, Obama said that "our courts and our juries, our citizens, are tough enough to convict terrorists." Detainees who are accused of violations of the laws of war would be better tried by military commissions, Obama said, after the commissions are brought "in line with the rule of law" by a series of bipartisan reforms [JURIST report]. Still other detainees would be transferred to other countries [JURIST report] for continued detention or released as ordered by US courts. Turning to what he called the "toughest single issue we will face," Obama proposed a detention system where those who cannot be tried, but nonetheless pose a "clear danger to the American people," could be detained without trial subject to judicial and congressional oversight:
Al Qaeda terrorists and their affiliates are at war with the United States, and those that we capture, like other prisoners of war, must prevented from attacking us again. Having said that, we must recognize that these detention policies cannot be unbounded. They can't be based simply on what I or the executive branch decide alone. And that's why my administration has begun to reshape the standards that apply to ensure that they are in line with the rule of law.We must have clear, defensible, and lawful standards for those who fall into this category. [There] must be fair procedures so that we don't make mistakes. We must have a thorough process of periodic review so that any prolonged detention is carefully evaluated and justified.
