There weren't enough life boats for everyone on board. The crew wasn't prepared for a full-scale evacuation. And a nearby ship that might have sailed to the rescue misread distress flares.
That was the case 100 years ago, on April 15, 1912, when the Titanic struck an iceberg and sank in the North Atlantic on its maiden voyage, killing 1,517 people aboard.
It was one of the deadliest maritime accidents ever, and led to significant improvements in safety rules aimed at preventing similar calamities. Today's cruise ships are far better equipped to cope with emergencies. Disasters at sea are rare.
Still, the question lingers: Could it happen again?
"The answer is yes, because it just did," said Daniel Allen Butler, a historian and author of "Unsinkable: The Full Story of RMS Titanic." He referred to the Costa Concordia accident in January.
"If the Costa Concordia had been, say, off the coast of Alaska rather than off the coast of Italy, it would have been a disaster of enormous proportions," said Butler.
The location difference is huge. The Titanic sank 370 miles off the coast of Newfoundland in an open ocean that was 12,000-feet deep. Most of the people died from hypothermia in the 28-degree water after the ship went down.
The Costa Concordia struck a rock outcropping just off a Tuscan island that tore a 165-foot hole in its port hull, causing it to go aground in shallow water and eventually tip to her starboard side. Yet 30 people died during a confusing, six-hour long evacuation process.
Unlike the Titanic, there were sufficient lifeboats. That was one of the rule changes that evolved from the Titanic's sinking – a lifeboat seat for everyone on an ocean liner. The Titanic had only 20 lifeboats, with between 65 and 40 seats each, or enough for just a third of the ship's capacity and half the number of people on its doomed voyage.

|Crunchy outside, chewy inside, gluten-free vegan chocolate cookies.
Double Chocolate Yum
(and some gluten-free baking advice)
I have a new cookie recipe to share today. A cocoa infused cookie studded with semi-sweet chocolate chips. A cookie that tastes like a brownie- if a brownie was slightly crispy and crunchy on the outside, and chewy soft on the inside. You could say, it's a brownie with a cookie texture.
Texture is a big deal in gluten-free baking.
It's no secret that giving gluten the boot also means giving texture, stretch, and structure the old heave-ho, right along with it. First timers bite into gluten-free goodies and pause. They chew. Their eyes widen and dart to the side as they search for a word to describe exactly what it is they are chewing.
The word most often used to describe something gluten-free? Gummy. Or worse. Hockey pucks. Cardboard. Dirt.
Attributes one does not necessarily associate with um, pleasure. With nourishment. With flavor.
Which is why I am here.
It was nearly
Our love affair had been a passionate, tumultuous ride. Thrilling and deliciously seductive. From twirling garlic laden Italian pasta to rustic bread baking, we had nurtured a decades long love affair. Four and a half decades, in fact. And I'm not embarrassed to admit, I was deep into it. Head over heels. And dizzy in denial. Until symptoms could no longer be ignored.
And it turned out I felt better without gluten. Not just better. Transformed.
So I bought a gluten-free cookbook and started baking (and no offense to the wonderful woman who was- literally- a gluten-free pioneer and wrote several best selling gluten-free cookbooks, but). I determined- quite quickly- that white rice flour and starches do not a gourmet treat make.
Truth is, ten years ago, baking gluten-free meant using rice flour and starches, or just plain cornstarch (this was Julia Child's advice). We didn't have the higher protein, whole grain gluten-free choices we have today. Oh, they were there, lurking. Buckwheat flour and almond meal have long, delicious traditions in the old country (I loved the cookbook Fabulous and Flourless). But packaged blends and gluten-free mixes favored cheaper rice flour and starches (and even today, most g-free mixes rely on this old school stand-by, with predictably gummy results). So the cardboard moniker stuck.
And me?
My hopes for baking without gluten deflated like a sad little souffle.
Until Bob's Red Mill brought us whole grain gluten-free grains. Grains with protein and fiber. Grains with nutrition. Grains with flavor. And yes- texture! Milled with artisan care in a gluten-free facility. And no, this is not a sponsored endorsement. This is personal.
By now you should know I'm not the kind of blogger who can be seduced by a coupon offer. Or a free t-shirt. I've been doing this awhile, Darling.
I have an opinion. An informed opinion. Based on thirteen-plus years of gluten-free baking (which ought to be worth more than a coupon or a five dollar sample).
So I tell it like it is.
Readers sometimes ask me for recipe substitutions. These can be grouped into a handful of popular themes:
- I use too many different flours- they want to use one (or a baking mix).
- I use buckwheat flour- they wouldn't touch buckwheat flour like they wouldn't wear Crocs.
- I use sorghum flour- they can't find sorghum flour (for that, I am truly, sympathetically sorry!).
- I use almond meal or coconut flour (fabulous protein and fiber)- and they are allergic (once again, profoundly sorry!).
So they sub. They use rice flour and starches in my recipes. And return to tell me the texture is gummy. Or as dense as cardboard.
Flour choices matter.
And so does execution.
So I thought I'd address this today, and offer some quick, short advice on gluten-free baking- and substitutions.
Truth? Gluten-free baking is more of an art than a science.
Without stretchy gluten, flours can be finicky, and far less forgiving.
There is weather, Bubela. You know, humidity. And winter heat dryness. And there is how you store your flours (in the cold fridge- or in the cupboard next to the stove?). Dampish flours need less liquid added. And some g-free flours are super thirsty (coconut flour grabs on to fat and liquid like a parched and greedy camel).
With gluten-free baking, the relationship of dry ingredients to wet is crucial. Even two tablespoons more/or less liquid can make the difference between a gummy center, and a fluffy crumb.
Here's what I do- I add my liquid to the whisked dry ingredients slowly, a little at a time, and beat until it comes to the right consistency. Don't dump all the liquid in at once. Sometimes you need a tablespoon less liquid. Sometimes, a few tablespoons more.
Then there is temperature. The temperature of the ingredients themselves (ice cold eggs?). The ambient temperature of your kitchen (is it drafty and damp, or hot and humid, or do you use air conditioning?). And then, perhaps the most influential of all, there is the temperature of your oven-- which, surprisingly, can actually vary. Not only for those of us using cheap stoves in rental apartments, but also in your shiny newly installed appliance-- it may not be calibrated correctly. This is a big issue for many a reader, by the way). Which is why I recommend using an oven thermometer, and checking your 'preheat' temperature. Temperature influences baking time, big time.
How to judge the right consistency?
Bread dough and pizza dough is more like muffin batter.
G-free cookie dough is stiff and sturdy and a bit sticky. Roll it into balls with wet or oiled hands.
For baking substitution help (because of course, I know how hard it is to bake gluten-free with allergies- you know I love you, my multi-allergic sisters and brothers, I'm one of you!) please use my post on Baking Substitutions and Help as a guide to subbing problematic ingredients in my recipes.
And for vegans, and non-vegans, I have found my recipes perform well with eggs and without, using an egg substitute. For a powdered egg sub I use Ener-G Egg Replacer- if you use a different one, you may need to adjust starches/liquids. Many readers report good luck using flax seed gel; I have limited expertise with flax, but I do think it adds a nice touch to gluten-free baking. And yes, for dairy and non-dairy, I find it's an easy one-to-one sub. (I must be dairy-free, so I write up recipes that way, but if you prefer using butter and milk in my vegan recipes- that will work just fine; my husband and sons have tried them both ways, with success).
For detailed info on gluten-free flour choices and how to make your own g-free flour blends that don't suck, see my Gluten-Free Baking Tips post.
Finally- to repeat it--- experience counts.
Even our failures bring us one step closer to better results. They teach us. Baking gluten-free is a process. It is not a finite, closed experiment. It is more like jazz than strophic form. Learning an intuitive sense of improvisation is worth the effort.
So, go bake some cookies with whole grain flours and share them with someone you love, okay?

PHOENIX -- A's outfielder Chris Young, initially penciled into the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Padres, will instead remain a spectator.
Manager Bob Melvin wants to give Young an extra day of rest, making it three straight since he suffered a quad cramp in Sunday's game.
"We just want to make sure he's 100 percent when he comes back," Melvin said. "We'll get there."
Young was slated to take part in all workouts Wednesday morning, and he could potentially return to game action Thursday if all goes well. Melvin, though, is done making promises.
"Sometimes I get a little ahead of myself," he said. "He'll do all the drills today, and we'll see how he's doing tomorrow."
Because of the minor injury, Young's had just three at-bats this spring. The A's, though, are more concerned about getting him ample playing time in the field, as he learns to handle the corner-outfield spots, in addition to his natural center-field position. He'll play all three this year for Oakland.

You were simply too smart for me.
I have a friend who is a huge Alabama fan, so I saw almost every single game this year. TR is most definitely a beast. I think he has the opportunity to be an elite type of player at the NFL level, but not as an every down back. If we picked him up, and made him a 3rd down specialist, our offense could become very dangerous very quickly.
The only way I take TR is if Blackmon, Claiborne, and RG III are gone.
Richardson as a 3rd down back lol...cmon man! Richardson is what BLOUNT will NEVER be, a complete RB that is a THREAT whenever he's on the field
Quote from: SWAGGANEER on February 13, 2012, 11:28:12 AMThe only way I take TR is if Blackmon, Claiborne, and RG III are gone.If they are, that means that Kalil or Luck(lol) are still on the board. In that case, I take one of those two players without anything vaguely resembling hesitation.

CNHI News Service
— What else premiered in 1958 besides TV's Sea Hunt, Bat Masterson, the Huckleberry Hound Show and 77 Sunset Strip?
You guessed it.
Chevy Impala hit the road as a coupe and convertible and has been an American icon ever since. Now in its 10th generation, the Impala has transformed, re-tuned, re-configured, revamped and altered just about everything on its four wheels.
The newest Impala has heads turning. It may just pull the classic car out of its doldrums with sleek and sculpted body sides, projector beam headlamps and an equally impressive interior. The 2014 full size sedan finally gives Chevy a car to compete in a global market and at home with rival Ford.
What a welcome relief to drive the new sedan. Without its exterior badging, the new sheet metal design could pass for an expensive import or a refined German touring sedan. Really.
Chevy engineers set out to reinvent the classic '58 model using today's technology and driving dynamics in a posh cabin filled with creature comforts. After a week of test driving the new car, I believe they accomplished their goal.
Primary competitors for the Impala include the Toyota Avalon, Dodge Charger, Ford Taurus and Hyundai Azera.
Three trim levels are available; the LS, LT and LTZ ranging in base price from $26,000-$33,000 respectively. A 2.5-liter four cylinder is standard on all trims with an available six-cylinder developing 305 horsepower. A mini-hybrid, four-cylinder engine with small electric motor will be available later this year.
All models are front wheel drive with a six-speed automatic transmission. In the zero to 60 mile per hour sprint the Impala with six cylinder engine reached its target in 6.9 seconds, about average for its class.
On the road, the Impala delivers a smooth and comfortable ride with the V6 powering the two-ton sedan in brisk fashion. Passing and braking are accomplished with ease and its electric power steering is precise.
Inside the cabin, an eight-inch touch screen controls audio, climate, navigation and available apps as part of Chevy's second generation MyLink system. While all new car interface systems come with a learning curve, the Chevy system is easily mastered through touch, voice or drag movements.
It seems to have borrowed from the Cadillac CUE system with its display of high res 3D navigation mapping. Searchable apps include weather forecasts and alerts, HD radio and other popular sites.
Many of the screen touch controls are mimicked with redundant knobs in the center stack for those who prefer manual adjustments.
One innovative feature adds a storage bin at center dash. With the press of a button, the center screen lifts vertically toward the windshield for glove box type storage that is lockable with a four-digit screen code.
For passenger safety, the Impala includes 10 airbags, available collision mitigation braking, adaptive cruise control, forward collision alert, lane departure warning and side mirror blind zone alerts. A rear camera system with guidelines and rear cross traffic alert system is also available.
The new Impala is a huge improvement over the previous model and provides consumers with a relatively inexpensive alternative to much higher priced luxury sedans.

Doe, Main Stacks, Moffitt Library Floorplans
Looking for a location or call number in Doe, Main Stacks or Moffitt? Try the floorplans, or ask for assistance!
Printing and Scanning in the Libraries
All libraries on campus are equipped with "bookscan stations," which allow you to:
- scan documents and save them to a USB drive, or
- scan documents and then send them to a printer. You cannot email a scanned document from a bookscan station.
Scanning to a USB drive is free. Moffitt Copy Center sells flash drives.
Scanning documents to print is 8 cents a page (color printing: 60 cents a page).
In order to send documents to the printer from any of the public computers in the libraries, you must have the following:
- A document that's on the Web or attached to your email (the public computers in the libraries will not open files from a USB or other drive)
- A Cal 1 Card, with money loaded onto the debit account (go here to make a deposit to your Cal 1 Card account).
This is not the same as meal plan points! Your Cal 1 Card debit account is a separate fund on your card.
Have more questions? There's more info here.
Beyond the Web
"It's all free on the Internet, right? Why should I go through the library's website to find sources for my paper?"
The Web is a great source for free, publicly available information. However, the Library pays for thousands of electronic books, journals, and other information resources that are available only to the campus community. Through the Library website, you can access hundreds of different licensed databases containing journal articles, electronic books, maps, images, government and legal information, current and historical newspapers, digitized primary sources, and more.
You access these resources through the Internet, using a browser like Firefox, Chrome or Internet Explorer -- but these databases are not part of the free, public Web. Resources like Lexis-Nexis, Web of Science, Academic Search Complete, and ARTstor are "invisible" to Google. You will not see results from most library databases in the results of a Google search.
Want to find out more? Get started exploring the Library's electronic resources, or find out how to get access to licensed resources from off-campus.
Starting Points
1. Read an introduction to the campus libraries for undergraduates.
2. Set up your computer for off campus access to library databases.
3. Need a map of the campus libraries? Doe and Moffitt floor plans are here.
4. Each library has its own hours and they may change on holidays and between semesters - click on the calendar for each library to view a month at a time.

DIY bejeweled
these are my DIY embellished tights, I embellished them with chains.
What I wear; Mint Jacket (consignment store/tokio7 $70), Sass&Bide dress (consignment $45) cardigan Marc by Marc Jacobs (consignment/tokio7 $30) Boots Miu Miu (consignment/tokio7 $90) Tights by me and still in progress haha :)
I'm embellishing these tights with chains, thick, thin, silver, gold and copper, I figured out by smartly dividing the weight that the tights don't run!! With walking around it hold perfectly too, and gives an amazing effect, especially when it gets dark!!
And before I forget.. This Swedish website decided to put my Snout on their street section,
anyways, you can go to the site, by clicking on the photo's you can vote by clicking on the "heart" you guys will see some more familiar faces :) :)

Shepherdstown, WV, United States
"Long Live Nancy; A Trip Back in Time"
Nancy Drew was an important part of my childhood. These books helped me to love reading, made me a mystery fan, and (yes!) fostered my feminism, too. For this, I am grateful to all the people who were Carolyn Keene.
Revisiting Nancy is a mixed-bag experience. Of course, the books are not spectacularly well-written. And, in modern terms, our heroine is pretty traditional. The stories are tame.
BUT, Laura Linney reads with a respect for the original excitement many of us experienced when reading Nancy Drew. I love the sound effects and the drama in her voice. It's like being a twelve-year-old again.
If you are in the mood for uncritical nostalgia, go ahead and try "The Secret of Shadow Ranch". Be sure you only select the Drew mysteries that are performed by Laura Linney. Curl up and enjoy a trip back in time!
I thought I would really like this. It started out well: a great premise, witty and feisty female protagonists, and the author has all her vampires and werewolves in a row!
Then, not much. The promising characters just never came to life for me. The tone became increasingly more arch than witty, the situations contrived. No heart.
Too bad.
"Lip smacking good"
What fun to discover a classic that has not come my way before. Loved everything about this: the plot, the structure, and the narrator.
Levin's story is riveting, featuring a very believable bad guy with mind boggling self confidence and resourcefulness. The book is structured around three episodes, each one with memorable characters and building suspense, capped by surprise. And the narrator guides us well, bringing it all to life.
If I'd been reading this, I'm sure I'd have skipped ahead to find out the ending - love that that's a lot harder in Audible versions!
"Never Better!"
It's been years since I read (and absolutely loved) "Neverwhere." This is a terrific way to re-discover a fantasy classic.
Others have mentioned the perfect performances here. They are wonderful, and the work has been lovingly and beautifully adapted for radio (and Audible).
If you read the book, dive into this version of "Neverwhere". If you haven't yet experienced Gaiman's crazy world, take a moment to get used to the accents and the background noises, and enter. Like radio, it's presented in episodes - but be prepared to stay up late listening to all of them in one sitting! It's that good!
"Only for the Whales"
Having recently been in the Alaska Inland Passage, I thought this was worth a try. And, because of my own good memories, it was, if only for the location and the whales.
There's some decent intrigue here, as well. But the entire work is marred by the really terrible reading of the story. Meaning that this narrator only READS the book, and with not a lot of interest or enthusiasm at that.
I can only recommend this book if you have a thing for remote lighthouses and/or the magnificent Inland Passage of Alaska.
"Of course, Of course!"
Wow! This is one of those books after which you never look at things quite the same way again. And, oh, it all makes so much sense!
I'm sure there are experts who would question whether this is exactly the number of "American Nations" or the precise boundaries and variances within each district. However, the weight of historical fact and intuitive "rightness" of this general theory is, in my view, absolutely undeniable. So much of what puzzles us in the disagreements and different philosophies of America's regions is explained forcibly and persuasively by Colin Woodard.
All of the regions display good and appalling mindsets and inclinations in this description - no one escapes scathing criticism for actions throughout American history. Naturally, there are sweeping generalizations and stereotypes involved in presenting such a thesis, but I found myself often smacking myself on the forehead (figuratively speaking, mostly) and expostulating: "Oh, of course! of course!"
I'll never forget this book - it will come to mind especially at Election time. I recommend it highly for anyone from any region. You may not agree with it all, but you won't deny it offers intelligent insight into much of America's past and present - and probably foretells the future all too well!
"Lost in Fog with Buffalo"
Huge fan; I want to make that clear. I have gobbled up all the Longmire mysteries and am in awe of George Guidall's narrative abilities. Love the humor and the interaction of the characters.
That said, I was a bit disappointed in "Any Other Name". For the first time in the series, I felt myself being manipulated here. One too many demonstrations of Walt's doggedness, one too many wounds in one too many extended confrontations, and for what? Would the man we know and love really put so many strangers above a frightened Katie in her hour of most need?
There are excellent moments. I just loved, for instance, the fog-and-snow storm that finds our hero unknowingly in the midst of a herd of potentially dangerous buffalo.
I'm just hoping for a return to top-notch form in Book 12.
"No Guilt Here!"
I gave up calling Georgette Heyer a "guilty" pleasure a long time ago. A literature major, I was taught that certain genres of writing are just inherently inferior - and one of them, of course, is Romance. Now I know that good writing is good writing, whatever the genre, and writing doesn't get any better than in "Venetia"!
The story is a fairly common one in historical romance: "good" girl heroine attracted to "bad" boy hero. But Heyer does it so well here. The characters (major and minor) sparkle with humor, wit and personality. There are even valuable lessons in tolerance and reserving judgment.
Venetia is an exceptional leading lady, full of life and heart, and I predict that anyone (even those who aren't big Romance fans) will fall in love with her, with her flawed love, with her brother, and even with those minor characters who so perfectly reflect the oddities in our fellow humans.
And no small credit goes to the wonderful Phyllida Nash, who narrates this with great energy and skill. "Venetia" has long been a favorite read; now it's also a favorite listen! Along with Audible's versions of "Sylvester" and "Sprig Muslin", this will certainly appeal to Heyer fans and would be an excellent introduction to her really superior books.
"Wallender without Kenneth Brannach"
I have watched some of the BBC series based on these books, but this was my first "reading" of one. The TV version is bleak indeed, and Sweden is portrayed as a really depressing place.
I found the listening experience to be more balanced. Because the book is not so entirely focused on Wallander and his demons, it presents a wider view entirely. The detective's frequent depression isn't so much the crux of the story as an intricate part of the puzzle.
"Sidetracked" is a great thriller. We know who the perpetrator is from nearly the beginning, so this is more a police procedural than a mystery. But it's also a really good study about the psychology and humanity of a seeming monster. It has really intense violence, but it also has great suspense, an interesting and varied cast of characters, and terrific writing.
Dick Hill narrates beautifully.
I'll seek out other listens in this series.
"Holmes (and I) Hit the Road"
Get this one for your car journeys! My husband and I take a lot of short trips- say an hour or two each way. We're always happy to find something to listen to that holds our attention but is short enough that we don't have to keep driving in circles to finish before arrival.
Does that sound like faint praise? Well, it is. As anyone might expect, this selection of non-Doyle Holmes stories is a real mixed bag. Some of the stories are clever and involving; others not so much. But the advantage of the short story format is just that - none requires a major investment of time or attention.
So, if you enjoy the original Holmes canon and are looking for an entertaining way to pass the time and/or miles, this is a pretty sure pleaser.
Note: There are a number of non-fiction diversions, including some fairly lengthy author bios and two final essays on Doyle and his attitude to Americans and (rather strangely) to the Irish. Interesting, perhaps, but definitely not short stories.
"Falling in Love"
Yep, I fell in love with this book! With 2 of the Chiefs, with lots of other characters and a town, and especially with a narrator!
Narrator is too weak a description of what Mark Hammer accomplishes with "Chiefs". His voice seems relaxed and unhurried, but it conveys all the heart and soul of a small town called Delano and its residents. He's flat out fabulous!
The book, too, is a real find. I agree with all the reviewers who note that this is obviously a deeply felt, deeply personal work by Stuart Woods. As the section for each chief ended, I grieved and thought the next one couldn't possibly be as good, but each time I was wrong and got just as engulfed in the lives and cares of the next set of people. There are wonderful and sometimes surprising connections among the 3 stories. There's suspense, emotion, and a just-plain-good-old plot in "Chiefs". And a progression through the years which reflects perfectly the changes in all of America during the period from 1920 to 1963.
Everyone can relate to this story and to these people. And that's pretty much what a good book and a good listen should be, isn't it?

In February 2008, my husband, Ari, and I brought home from South Korea our baby Jacob, whose adoption we had begun in 2006. Our first few weeks together were exhausting and wonderful but also scary as Jake came down with one illness after another — 104-degree fevers, croup, tummy troubles, you name it — and our pediatrician was concerned about his large head size and ordered tests to rule out hydrocephalus.
Weeks of sleepless nights later, I was feeling wildly unqualified to mother this beautiful stranger and wondering why parenthood was so much more stressful than I'd expected. I was also surprised to detect a flicker of hesitation about my authenticity as Jake's mother. Was he really "mine"? Was I up to this job?
By late March I had lost interest in eating or even getting out of bed. I burst into tears daily, upsetting Ari and Jake. I withdrew from the baby we'd longed for even as I was terrified that the social worker overseeing our post-placement period would take Jake away if I let on how awful I felt. What was wrong with me that I couldn't embrace motherhood as so many of my friends — both "bio" moms and adoptive ones — had done? I'd never been depressed in my life, but at age 39, I was now facing a full-blown bout.
Everyone has heard about postpartum depression, which can be triggered when hormones go haywire after a woman has given birth and is coping with the exhausting, round-the-clock demands of an infant. But new research has focused on what I unexpectedly felt four years ago: post-adoption depression. And it turns out it's not that uncommon.
A March study of 300 mothers by Purdue University researchers found that post-adoption depression syndrome, or PAD, afflicts between 18 and 26 percent of adoptive mothers in the first year after an infant or child is placed with them. With approximately 120,000 children being adopted annually in the United States, the Purdue report suggests that tens of thousands of adoptive mothers may be suffering from depression.

Giambi, who had never gotten past the first round of the playoffs in his nine-year career, batted .235 with one home run and one RBI in the six-game series, starting five of the contests. He was not in the lineup for Game 5, as his injured knee prevented him from playing in the field.
"I wanted to win. I'm greedy. I wanted it all," Giambi said. "It doesn't make me any happier that I got out of the first round or got to the World Series. It probably hurts more to get this far and walk away with nothing."
Giambi went 0-for-2 with a walk in the final game of the year, capping off a season filled with slumps and injuries for the 32-year-old. Giambi battled through an eye infection, as well as knee and hamstring injuries, batting .250 with a team-leading 41 home runs and 107 RBIs this season.
He wasn't the only one who battled injuries, as Derek Jeter, Nick Johnson, Bernie Williams and Mariano Rivera all spent significant time on the disabled list. With that many star players out for extended periods of time, Giambi said that losing to the Marlins was even harder for him.
"It's unfortunate after what this team did to get here, all the adversity, not to walk away with a World Series title," Giambi said. "It makes it a disappointing season."
Josh Beckett, who walked away with World Series MVP honors, dominated the Yankees in the final game of the season, but Giambi was proud of the way his teammates fought to the bitter end.
"We left it on the field every night. We can live with that. You just have to tip your cap to Josh Beckett. He threw a great game," Giambi said. "Even in the last inning, we believed we could come back. We just needed one guy on base to start. Nobody among us thought we didn't have a chance."
Unfortunately for Giambi, his season ended in the on-deck circle, as Jorge Posada grounded out to give the Marlins their second World Series title in seven years. Giambi, who will soon undergo arthroscopic knee surgery, watched Florida celebrate for a moment before disappearing into the clubhouse, beginning another long winter of reflection.
"I wanted us to get to tomorrow and for us to be the ones doing that," Giambi said of the celebration. "It was definitely emotional. We had our chances, we just couldn't come up with that big hit. We had the opportunity to walk away every night with a win, they just did a good job against us. They got the big hit in the extra-inning game. They went out and beat us."
Giambi knows that the 2004 Yankees will look somewhat
different from this year's club, starting with Roger Clemens' retirement. As much as the ringless players such as Giambi and Mike Mussina longed for their first title, Giambi said that the team was trying to send Clemens out on the highest of notes.
"It's definitely sad," he said. "I think everyone here wanted to win this for Roger, let him ride off into the sunset with another World Series title. With all that he's meant to baseball, we wanted that for him."
As for the other potential changes that could take place this offseason, Giambi said that he would like to see the core of this group remain together for another run at a championship.
"This team got put together late, and we just started to come together. Unfortunately, we ran out of games. It would be nice for us to have another run at it," Giambi said. "I'm sure there will be some changes. They'll do what they think they have to in order to guarantee a winner."

Vision Training Pinhole Eyeglasses
Help to strengthen and retrain ocular muscles
Looking through the patterned holes of these Pinhole Eyeglasses just 15 minutes a day can improve your ability to focus by strengthening and retraining ocular muscles. For anyone with vision challenges related to reading, work at computer monitors or watching TV. Black.
Works great with our Yoga for Your Eyes DVD.
"For a few years I've been prone to migraines from computer eyestrain and sunlight. After wearing these glasses for about a month, I'm able to see things more clearly. I can read signs better and my night vision is improved." - J. Steckling, Chicago, IL
Product Q&A
Ask your questions. Share your answers.
Conclusion: YES it makes a difference. The proper range for hole size should be between 1 mm and 1.3 mm. The distance between holes should be approximately twice the size of the holes. (2.0 mm to 2.6 mm) The balance of pinhole size, placement, distance between holes, opaqueness of material, and distance mounted from the eyes is in the optimal range with these glasses. If you find anything else, or material that is not opaque, try them out to see if they work at all for you.
As for price, I have seen standard magnifying reading glasses go for a wide range of prices too, but keep in mind, these are not just a fashion statement, these glasses can actually help your eyes heal!
Magnifiers almost ruined my eyes. Pinhole glasses (and eye exercises) brought them back. The price on this pair is very good, much less than many others, and well worth many times more when you consider what you should be willing to pay for good eyesight.

"Soaring Bonus Bids Stun Major Execs - Quick Action Likely."
Four years later, Rick Monday became the very first selection in the very first installment of those execs' answer to the escalating competition for prime American amateur talent -- the First-Year Player Draft.
Four decades later, the problem of intense open-market rivalry for players is back, but on a global scale.
The stunning truth: At the start of the 2002 season, more than two out of every five professional baseball players in this country, either on the rosters of the 30 Major League teams or of their minor league affiliates, were not subject to the Draft.
Again, big league executives are looking at the same salvation, this time a draft expanded on a worldwide scale. "It will be brought about," says Mike Port, interim general manager of the Red Sox, "by the same forces which led to the creation of the amateur draft."
Quick action? Unlikely.
In fact, unless a worldwide draft is ratified as part of the new Collective Bargaining Agreement currently being negotiated between owners and the players union, it will go back on hold for five years -- or whenever the CBA comes up for renewal.
And if both sides agree to it in principle, a staggering array of details would need to be worked out. For instance, could it be a true worldwide draft, or what special provisions would be required for countries (Japan, Korea, Mexico) with their own pro leagues? What would be the age and education groundrules (domestic players cannot be drafted until their high school class graduates, or until after their sophomore collegiate year)?
"Obviously, it won't be implemented for this season," said Sandy Alderson, MLB Executive Vice President of Baseball Operations. "It's part of a larger proposal made to the union, and would likely be deferred until the next agreement."
It is not a fresh concept, having been floated for nearly a decade, since a September 1993 conclave of scouting directors at which they voted in favor of it. General managers quickly seconded the plan, but that's as far up the chain as the proposal has gotten.
For the owners, every year brings more compelling reasons for a worldwide draft. From the $3.7 million the Yankees gave Dominican outfielder Wily Mo Peña in 1999 to the $2.25 million for which the Dodgers signed Dominican shortstop Joel Guzman last July, foreign teens have been getting first-round money -- from the teams that can afford it.
Top-drafted foreign-born players could retain a comparable bargaining chip -- it would level the playing field by giving each team a 1-out-of-30 shot at international talent, aided by the expanded efforts of the Major League Scouting Bureau.
"Face it," said Anaheim general manager Bill Stoneman, "if the New York Yankees spot a guy in one of the Latin American countries, or anywhere, and they want him, they will out-spend all others to get him. And with their revenue, they can.
"A worldwide draft is just a good idea. Talent will be more evenly distributed."
"It's something we need -- that's pretty clear when you look at the worldwide talent spread throughout baseball," said Kevin Towers, the Padres general manager. "Look at the Dodgers rotation -- there are some pretty successful pitchers around the world.
Representatives of the Major League Players Association declined to comment on their current stance regarding a worldwide draft. Don Fehr, the union's executive director, simply said, "That isn't something we discuss publicly."
"That might not help us. We keep an eye on guys we would normally sign, but then we'd have to wait for a draft," said Roger Jongeward, the Mariners vice president of scouting and player development.
Since its advent in 1965, MLB's draft has undergone several alterations, each in response to shifts in player procurement.
Soon after the Milwaukee Brewers trumped bidders in 1983 to sign Juan Nieves, a Puerto Rican left-hander who had been pitching at a Connecticut school, a rule was enacted subjecting all players attending U.S. schools to the draft.
Since bidding wars continued to break out over Puerto Rican prospects, in 1989 the draft was expanded to include players in U.S. territories. And in 1991, it was broadened to include Canada.
And if the next logical step is eventually taken?
"Very simple," Alderson said. "All players will be subject to a draft, as is the case in other sports. It would be a true worldwide draft. Not to say all categories of players would be included; obviously, we would have to exclude pro players in Japan.
"It would give clubs more equal access to players on the international level. When 40 percent of your players are foreign born, there's a need to equalize access."
"The biggest task is, how to administer it?" Towers said. "Every time we do get together as a group, we talk about how we'd be able to administer it.

Perez's homer in Game 7 one of the best
Hall of Famer's home run solidified the Big Red Machine
The team is now the stuff of legends, its nicknames part of baseball lore.The Great Eight. The Big Red Machine. And, depending on who you ask, the best team there ever was. But, even if the greatness of the mid-'70s era Reds may now appear obvious, the path to the first of Cincinnati's back-to-back World Series titles in 1975 and 1976 was hardly ceremonious. In fact, the Big Red Machine may not hold the reverence that it now enjoys had it not been for a single swing by Hall of Famer Tony Perez in Game 7 of the '75 World Series at Fenway Park. And now, as Barry Bonds moves past Hank Aaron on Tuesday night against the Nationals at AT&T Park to assume the crown of baseball's new Home Run King, Perez's home run remains perhaps the most memorable and significant round-tripper in Reds history -- the shot that helped make a great team one of the greatest. "People were concerned with the Reds going into that last game, because they'd let the Series get away the night before [by way of Carlton Fisk's own legendary home run, a 12th-inning walk-off shot off the left-field foul pole]," Hall of Fame broadcaster Marty Brennaman said. "Then Boston jumped out early, and gets a lead [in Game 7]. "And then the home run by Tony turned the whole thing around. I mean, I don't think the ball has come down yet. It was awesome." Perez's sixth-inning home run off Red Sox starter Bill Lee shifted the momentum in the final game of what had already been a World Series for the ages. Four of the first six, and eventually five of the series' seven games were decided by one run. One hit separated the two teams' totals over the seven games, two of which went into extra innings. Boston took the momentum of Fisk's blast back into Fenway and opened the game well, jumping ahead, 3-0. Lee held Cincinnati scoreless through the game's first five frames. Legendary or not, the Reds looked like they were in trouble. "I think a lot of the people that were in the Reds' traveling party went in to that seventh game very, very concerned about how that thing was going to end up," Brennaman recalled. "In light of blowing a lead late the night before when [Bernie] Carbo hit the pinch-hit home run, and then Fisk hit the homer off of [Reds reliever] Pat Darcy in extra innings, [the Red Sox] were in the driver's seat. They had the bullpen that was considered by most to be the best bullpen in baseball." But, with a runner on base, Perez broke Boston's stranglehold on the game when he sent what Brennaman called a "lob" pitch over the wall and brought Cincinnati within one.
