Bodley: Nats must be patient
Leake was the eighth overall selection by the Reds in the 2009 First-Year Player Draft out of Arizona State University. The school lists him as six feet tall and 180 pounds. The right-hander said that was a little generous."You want the honest truth or the sugar coating?" Leake said. "I'm about five-ten and a half." No matter his height, the numbers that Leake posted this season for ASU were quite lofty. A 21-year-old junior starting pitcher who also played the outfield, Leake is 16-1 with a 1.36 ERA in 17 games, including 16 starts, for the Sun Devils. In 132 2/3 innings, he had 21 walks and 150 strikeouts. His 40 career wins in three seasons are tied for the most in school history. "Those numbers to aluminum bats are pretty scary," Reds senior director of scouting Chris Buckley said. "We're thrilled to have him." Arizona State is currently participating in the College World Series. Leake hasn't learned when he will pitch next. Leake is considered a ground-ball pitcher who allowed just two homers in 2009, which should be to his benefit at hitter-friendly Great American Ball Park. He uses a fastball, curveball, slider and changeup. According to Buckley, Leake's fastball runs 88-93 mph and can touch 94 mph. "It's his command and how polished he is," Buckley said of what the Reds liked about Leake. "He throws four pitches for strikes. He can throw them at any time. He's an outstanding fielder. He has an outstanding pickoff move. He has all the intangibles that good pitchers have." "When I'm getting ground balls, I know I'm doing well," said Leake, a native of Fallbrook, Calif. "That's all I can really do -- work down in the zone and try to get ground balls to the infield. I like to work in and break bats. I'm not saying it's going to be easy, but it will be fun to throw some wood in the fire, hopefully." Leake, originally a 2006 seventh-round pick of the A's who chose to play college ball instead, is one of five finalists for the Golden Spikes Award, given annually to the nation's premier amateur baseball player. He is the first pitcher the Reds have taken with their first-round pick since Homer Bailey in 2004. Because Arizona State is still competing, the Reds will not be able to open contract negotiations with Leake until his season is finished. There is an Aug. 17 deadline for clubs to sign drafted players, and anyone not signed can be selected in the 2010 Draft. Leake will be represented by agent Danny Horwits, who also handles Reds relievers David Weathers and Arthur Rhodes and Cincinnati's second pick, pitcher Brad Boxberger from USC. Leake wasn't looking to drag out talks and appeared eager to sign. "I will be ready to do it once our season is over," Leake said. "The sooner we can get it done, the better. We can build a better relationship that way instead of going back and forth at each other with different negotiations." Last year, with the seventh overall pick, the Reds took first baseman Yonder Alonso from the University of Miami. Alonso, signed to a five-year, $4.55 million Major League contract minutes before the deadline expired, is currently with Double-A Carolina after starting the year at Class A Sarasota. As for where Leake might start in the Reds' system, Buckley was non-committal. The pitcher's innings count indicates that there was no rush to move him up quickly this year. "This is a guy that's 16-1, so he's pitched a fair amount of baseball this year," Buckley said. "You don't want to rush him or put him in a situation where he could get hurt." "I will be able to pitch," Leake said. "I think I'm in pretty good shape. I don't think I'm worn down too much. I think I can still do what they want me to do for this summer." Nine of the opening 12 first-round picks were pitchers and with the top end of the Draft considered pitching rich, the Reds were expected to take an arm. Buckley wasn't surprised that Leake was still around when the No. 8 pick was up. "If he were 6-foot-2, he would have for sure gone before us," Buckley said. "[Red Sox second baseman Dustin] Pedroia is 5-foot-8. Sometimes they come in smaller packages." Fittingly, Leake said that the pitcher he most identified with and emulated was future Hall of Famer Greg Maddux, who is also listed as six feet tall. Giants ace Tim Lincecum stands at 5-foot-11 and is the reigning National League Cy Young Award winner. "It's always been a thing that's haunted me," Leake said of his height. "I don't let it get to me that much. I know all you have to do is show what you're capable of, and it will pay off in the end." Other Reds picks from Day 1: Compensation round, 43rd overall, RHP Brad Boxberger: A starting pitching prospect, Boxberger was 11-12 with a 3.81 ERA in 46 games (37 starts) over three seasons at Southern California. This season in 14 starts, he was 6-3 with a 3.16 ERA, 50 walks and 99 strikeouts. Scouting reports track Boxberger's fastball at 91-93 mph and topping out at 94 mph. He is also listed at six feet tall. Round 2, 57th overall, SS Billy Hamilton: Taken out of Taylorsville High School in Mississippi, Hamilton has an offer to play football for Mississippi State. According to the MLB.com Draft Tracker report, Hamilton's hitting approach "is a bit crude," but his bat speed, strength and running speed were praised. Round 3, 88th overall, LHP Donnie Joseph: A lefty reliever from the University of Houston, Joseph was 3-1 with a 2.16 ERA in 50 innings over 31 appearances. He had 11 saves.

Summary of the 2011 Writers Guild of America Theatrical and Television Basic Agreement ("2011 MBA")
The following is a summary of the amendments that comprise the 2011 MBA. It is a simplified version of the longer Memorandum of Agreement; the language of the Memorandum of Agreement will prevail in the event of any inconsistency. Unless amended in the 2011 negotiations, the provisions of the 2008 MBA remain unchanged.
There will continue to be two MBAs: the 2011 WGA-Network MBA and the 2011 WGA-AMPTP MBA. The limited differences between the two agreements are in three areas primarily affecting long-form television. Each company that signs a WGA Letter of Adherence will be required to choose between the two 2011 MBAs. The differences are described in the Addendum to this summary.
1. Term of Agreement
3 year term – May 2, 2011 through May 1, 2014.
2. Minimums
Minimums to increase by 2% each year, compounded, with the following exceptions: the upset price, excerpt payments and the script publication fee.
3. Increases to the Pension Plan
Increase the contributions to the Pension Plan from 6% to 7.5%. In addition, the Guild will have sole discretion to divert 0.25% from minimums to the Pension Plan in each of the second and third years of the contract. These increases are "decoupled" from benefit accruals in order to help ensure the financial health of the Plan. Pension Plan contributions for writing services on pilots and the first season of one-hour series will remain at 6%.
Increase the base amount upon which pension contributions are made for writers on development deals governed by MBA Article 14.E.2. from $202,000 to $250,000.
Amend the Foreign Remake Sideletter to reflect the increased pension contribution rate for deals entered into on or after May 2, 2011.
4. Made-For Pay Television Residuals
Increase pay television residuals by 20% for 30 and 60 minute programs in each of the second, third and fourth "exhibition years" of a pay tv program's reuse. The new 30 minute annual residual will be $4,200 and the new 60 minute annual residual will be $7,200.
5. New Media Reuse - Streaming
Increase residual for first year ad-supported Internet streaming by 2% per year.
6. Committees on the Professional Status of Writers
A. Theatrical
• To help address the problem of "pre-writes," a senior creative executive from each Company will send a bulletin to his/her creative and business affairs executives stating that it is not permitted to request that writers work on spec.
• Company representatives of the CPSW - Theatrical will facilitate annual meetings between creative executives and writer members of the CPSW-Theatrical.
B. Episodic Television
• Increase the annual AMPTP and Network funding for the Showrunner Training Program to $200,000.
• Include in the MBA a statement that it is the preferred practice that Studio/Network notes be given in a timely fashion.
• Company representatives of the CPSW - Television will facilitate annual meetings between creative executives and writer members of the CPSW-Television.
7. Freelance Employment – Television
Modify existing freelance employment provisions on television series to provide that requirement may be fulfilled with teleplay rather than story assignments.
8. Sideletter re Electronic Data Transfer
The parties renewed their agreement to discuss the electronic transfer of data on a Company-by-Company basis.
9. Tri-Guild Audit Fund
Funding for Tri-Guild auditing of residuals payments was renewed at the same funding level of $861,000 for the term of the agreement.
10. Non-Discrimination
Modify the MBA's non-discrimination language to comply with federal and state law.
11. Arbitrators
Revise arbitrator lists as follows: WGAW arbitrator list: add Ken Perea and Fred Kuperberg; delete Howard Block, Joe Gentile, Joshua Javits, Lionel Richman and John Zebrowski. WGAE list: add Joshua Javits and delete Maurice Benewitz.
12. New Media Inspections
Change the frequency of Guild inspections of Company new media deals from quarterly to semi-annually.
13. Character Payments
The parties agreed to form a committee to discuss ways to simplify the process and rules associated with a writer's eligibility for and the payment of character payments.
14. Freeze Residual Payments for Network Prime Time Reruns
Freeze the current rates for residual payments for programs rerun in network prime time.
15. Location Expenses
Revise travel provisions so that coach class air travel will be permissible for domestic flights that are less than 1,000 airline miles; non-stop flights between Los Angeles and Vancouver; non-stop flights of less than 1,000 miles between the U.S. and Vancouver or Toronto; and for interviews for prospective employment. Company must provide elevated coach class travel (e.g., Economy Plus, Extended Leg Room, etc.) when available in each of the foregoing circumstances. Writers who travel by coach class shall be reimbursed by Company for baggage fees and costs of in-flight meals. All other flights shall be business class when available and, if not available, first class.
16. Promotional Uses of Excerpts on Consumer Pay Platforms
Agreed that clips used for promotional purposes on pay websites are exempt from residuals, unless used on an "archival" website for which residuals remain payable.
17. Staff Producers in News with Company Benefits
Companies need not make Pension Plan and Health Fund contributions for staff producers on news shows who perform writing services and who are eligible for Company health and retirement benefits generally available to the Company's staff employees.
18. Program Interruptions
Modify a previously existing sideletter regarding program interruptions for news emergencies and technical failures that prevent the broadcast of a program to apply to program interruptions exhibited on other program services, not just broadcast services.
19. Half-Hour Series in Limited Syndication
Renew long-standing sideletter regarding a residual discount for 30 minute series in markets representing 50% or fewer of U.S. TV households.
20. The CW
Replace references to "WB" or "UPN" with the "CW" allowing CW to use the promo launch provision and the supersized episode sideletter, and requiring CW to pay residuals within 30 days. Guild to withdraw pending arbitration claims asserting that the CW was not allowed to take advantage of the promotional launch provision for new series.
Summary of Differences between the 2011 AMPTP and Network MBA
A. Possessive Credits – Television
In the Network Agreement, each Company agrees to continue its policies regarding possessive credits in a manner consistent with its past practices. There is no such provision in the AMPTP Agreement, but this subject and others are to be addressed in the Committee on the Professional Status of Writers.
B. "Free Rewrites" – Long-Form Television
In the Network Agreement, the Producer must notify the Network when the first draft teleplay is received. In the AMPTP MBA, there is a "Special Company Affirmative Covenant" of timely payment.
Traditionally, the network reviews all drafts for which it issues payment. In the Network MBA, if the employing Company wants to ask for an additional draft without showing it to the Network, it must make an arrangement with the Network that the Network will pay for a draft it does not review. In the AMPTP MBA, it is presumed the Network will pay for a producer's draft commissioned by the employing Company, whether or not the Network receives such draft.
C. Replacing the Writer of Original Material – Theatrical and Long-Form Television
In the Network Agreement, for both theatrical and long-form TV pictures, and in the AMPTP Agreement for screen only, if the Company contemplates replacing a writer who sells, licenses or is employed to write original material, then a production executive who has read the material must meet with the writer, discuss the Company's view, and give the writer a reasonable opportunity to discuss continuing with the project. In the AMPTP Agreement, this provision does not apply to the sale of original material for long-form television and, with respect to employment to write an original long-form teleplay, if the Company desires to engage another writer to rewrite the teleplay, it will discuss with the first writer its reason(s) for not continuing that writer on the project after his or her first draft.

The Washington Post
A patient in a seemingly vegetative state, unable to move or speak, showed signs of attentive awareness that had not been detected before, a new study reveals. This patient could focus on words signaled by the experimenters as auditory targets as successfully as healthy individuals. If this ability can be developed consistently in certain patients who are vegetative, it could open the door to specialized devices in the future and enable them to interact with the outside world.
The research, by scientists at the Medical Research Council Cognition and Brain Sciences Unit and the University of Cambridge, was published last week in the journal Neuroimage: Clinical.
For the study, the researchers used electroencephalography, which noninvasively measures the electrical activity over the scalp, to test 21 patients diagnosed as vegetative or minimally conscious and eight healthy volunteers. Participants heard a series of different words - one word a second over 90 seconds at a time - while being asked to alternatingly attend to either the word "yes" or the word "no," each of which appeared 15 percent of the time. (Some examples of the words used include "moss," "moth," "worm" and "toad.") This was repeated several times over a period of 30 minutes to detect whether the patients were able to attend to the correct target word.
The researchers found that one of the vegetative patients was able to filter out unimportant information and home in on relevant words they were being asked to pay attention to. Using fMRI brain imaging, the scientists also discovered that this patient could follow simple commands to imagine playing tennis. They also found that three other minimally conscious patients reacted to novel but irrelevant words but were unable to selectively pay attention to the target word.
These findings suggest that some patients in a vegetative or minimally conscious state might in fact be able to direct attention to the sounds in the world around them.
Srivas Chennu, a research associate at the University of Cambridge's department of clinical neurosciences, said: "Not only did we find the patient had the ability to pay attention, we also found independent evidence of their ability to follow commands - information which could enable the development of future technology to help patients in a vegetative state communicate with the outside world."
Seniors who don't sleep well are more likely to have high levels of beta-amyloid, a biomarker for Alzheimer's, in their brains. Previous studies had linked disturbed sleep to cognitive impairment in older people. The new findings, published in JAMA Neurology, suggest that sleep problems may contribute to its development.
Alzheimer's disease is a progressive, irreversible brain disease that slowly destroys memory and thinking skills. According to the National Institutes of Health, as many as 5.1 million Americans may have the disease, with first symptoms appearing after age 60.
Brains of Alzheimer's patients have high levels of amyloid plaque, deposits of a substance consisting largely of beta-amyloid. According to the National Institute on Aging, it is not yet known whether amyloid plaque causes the disease or is a byproduct of it.
In a cross-sectional study of adults with an average age of 76, a team led by Adam Spira of the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health examined sleep as reported by research participants. Their duration of sleep ranged from more than seven hours a night to no more than five hours. Beta-amyloid in their brains was measured by positron emission tomography, or PET scans.
The results: Shorter sleep duration and lower sleep quality were both associated with greater beta-amyloid buildup.
Spira says that his study doesn't prove a causal link between poor sleep and Alzheimer's disease. Longitudinal studies with objective sleep measures are needed to further examine whether poor sleep actually can contribute to or accelerate Alzheimer's disease, he says.
"These findings are important in part because sleep disturbances can be treated in older people," Spira says. "To the degree that poor sleep promotes the development of Alzheimer's disease, treatments for poor sleep or efforts to maintain healthy sleep patterns may help prevent or slow the progression of Alzheimer's disease."

Retail price of hickory nuts is interesting.
Neighbor lady told me when she was a youngster that her family would harvest several wagon loads of hickory nuts and sell them at a collection station.
I have about 5 lbs of hulled hickory nuts drying. Will try to crack them out later this fall to see if they are worth the effort.

|Hi! Wing It Vegan is currently on its annual hiatus. It might take me a while to reply to comments, messages, emails, love letters, hate mail, and all that good stuff. I had to turn on that hateful word-verification thingie for comments due to too much spam - it is rather annoying, sorry about that! Thanks for stopping by!
Tuesday, July 8, 2008
About Me
Please, don't run away scared if you're not vegan! I promise I won't throw rotten beets or snarky judgments at you. This blog is mainly about food, and I won't try to "convert" you with my vegan bible. I might, however, try to lure you with tasty vegan treats - ever so sneakily.
If you browse around my earlier posts, you will find that my diet used to be a bit different then. These days, in my mid 30's, I can't get away with eating whatever I want anymore without growing a big belly. I am a naturally thin person, so a big belly looks very "when are you due?" on me. My "diet", for lack of a better word, consists of lots of veggies and legumes, fruits, nuts, seeds, and moderate amounts of grains. Depriving myself of treats doesn't work for me (hello, Bingetown!), so I enjoy a little something sweet every single day. I do seem to enjoy blogging about my treats more than my more nutritional meals, but I promise you I eat plenty of broccoli and lentils and all that good stuff! :)
Recipes are awesome, and I have a well stocked cookbook library, but most times I just wing it in the kitchen. Sometimes it works, sometimes not so much. But that's OK, I find that there are not too many kitchen disasters that cannot be turned into a sweet truffle or a savory croquette.
On a non-food related note, I am an extreme introvert and an antisocial hermit who would rather stay at home than go out and mingle. The phone is my sworn enemy and I avoid using it as much as possible. I do wish I could be a bit more sociable so I could join other bloggers at those fun blogger meet-ups and potlucks. *sigh*
Staying home is nice though, because we live near a little pond and we have some very cute feathered neighbors. There's Curly the Pekin duck and his mallard friends who are always quacking about something or another, and also some very skeptical geese that don't seem to trust us very much. We also welcome lots of wild birds into our back yard, and you will see them featured here fairly regularly. Mr. Wing-It is in charge of feeding the birds and I am in charge of stalking them with the camera 24/7!
Are you tired of hearing me talk about myself yet? Curly, take it away...

I never read this page - I didn't know your husband is so into birds! I am getting my phd in biology and I have been studying birds for about 10 years. It is the best research in the world. And the traveling can't be beat!ReplyDelete
That is so cool! Bird-nerds of the world unite! What's your favorite species? I love the tiny ones like the hummingbirds, sparrows, finches and wrens, but it would be hard to choose one.ReplyDelete
I completely identify with your existential crisis. I used to spend a lot of time thinking about religion and the best I can come up with is that if there is some sort of supreme being, it doesn't give a you-know-what what I do with myself. It's up to people to treat each other and other life forms well for the sake of doing so.ReplyDelete
Yes! To treat all living things with respect and consideration out of decency and kindness, not because we want to be rewarded in some sort of afterlife. It sounds simple enough, doesn't it? *sigh*ReplyDelete
I stumbled upon your blog through another blog doing vegan mofo and I am SO in love with it! Thanks for the amazing inspiration!!!ReplyDelete
I think I love you. you are a cutie pie and we totally have that introvert/anti-social thing in common. phones are evil, they must be stopped.ReplyDelete
i really dont like talking on the phone either, but it sure is a hard one a hard one to explain away!ReplyDelete
I love your About Me page and you're so gorgeous, I love your Wing-it apron xoxReplyDelete
YUM! These look so delicious! I think I will make some for breakfast tomorrow! i am really loving your blog!ReplyDelete
Just found your site today and want you to know that I love what I've seen so far. Do you want to know something? My hubby and I met at a vegan meet-up!!! Too funny.ReplyDelete
We're the same - we have so much in common, it's not funny. I knew this was something special when he found a bug in his apartment and got out a butterfly net to set it free outside. I thought I was the only one who did things like that! Two peas, I tell you, two peas!
Glad to know there are other vegan pods out there!

I don't care what you call yourself.ReplyDelete
You rock and I lub you!!!
River, why did I never notice this bit of your blog before? (Don't answer that!) Great to find out more about you and Mr Wing-It! John and I are 'cell-mates' (as we call it!) too! And I love your blog!ReplyDelete
Hi River,ReplyDelete
Finally found you....I've just copy/pasted your strawberry Santa Hats and Xmas Trees from Erica's Sweet Tooth site.
Went to the links for Crafty Kook she credited it to and well, not that "Shizuoka tombstone" is quite where it should be credited...after I translated said Japanese page to english ;-)
I then followed your link you'd posted in her comments....um, when thet came up "URL Not Found" ....I started to search ....
Anyway...now i've found your site I can credit you correctly!! I wanted to share these with my Mothers of Preschoolers [MOPS] group here in Perth, Western Australia as we'll be doing our Xmas things for the children [and adults] at the church group. These looked fab and easy to adapt for our celiacs [me] and our vegetarians and vegans.
So before I share my find I can now credit you properly!! Thankyou.
Kind Regards

Thank you so much, Sarah! I can't believe you went through all that trouble to give me credit - you have restored my faith in the blogging community! Last year I had some of my content "stolen" and republished without my permission, and it made me want to give up blogging. I started again a couple of weeks ago but I've been skeptical about sharing anything too original because it probably WILL be copied and not credited at some point. But you and your wonderful decency have restored my faith in the blogging community and I thank you so very much for looking me up and crediting me. You rock!!Delete
The Crafty Kook was a blog that I had for a few months when I strayed away from this one. It never felt like "home" so I came back to Wing It Vegan and let the other domain name expire. Now I see that I probably should have kept it!
I hope you have fun making the little Santa hats! Please do let me know if you ever blog about them so I can give you a MASSIVE shout out from here!
PS: Did I say that you ROCK?!
:D I'm so glad some of your faith is restored, River! I'm a firm believer in what goes around comes around. I loath it when people "steal" content and the like so blatantly.Delete
I have no blogs but I'll be sure to send you pics if/when we make these gorgeous treats of yours.
I went back to Erica's Sweet Tooth and posted a comment there with your wingitvegan site link. Hopefully then Erica can update her site in place of Crafty Kook :D
It was no trouble.....luckily you had your name River on Erica's site...so I simply googled your name along with Santa Hats and ...followed the trails.... :D
It only took about 20 mins....but as you can see ... for me, that 20 mins was worth every second for the simple fact it restored your faith :D
.... and now I'm signed up to your emails so won't "lose you" ;-)
Sarah x
It's despicable, illegal, and not to mention so very lame to steal other people's content! This person had taken my whole posts word-by-word including all my pictures. Now I add a watermark to all my pictures as an extra precaution.Delete
The fact that you looked me up just to do the right thing makes me so happy! You didn't *have* to do it, but you did it because you're awesome! Sarah for president! :D
I hope you have lots of fun with the Santa Hats if you do make them! And I would love to see pictures if you do!
Thank you so much for subscribing! :)
I love your new photo!ReplyDelete
Thanks, Kittee! It's been up for a few weeks... let's see how much longer I can keep it there without feeling an urge to take it down...Delete

By Melinda Wenner Moyer
NEW YORK — I'm lucky: When I hear the phrase "growing pains," I think of Kirk Cameron, not night aches. I never suffered from growing pains as a child, and as far as I can tell, my 2-year-old doesn't have them yet either. So sometimes I wonder: Are growing pains real? If so, what causes them? And how do I make sure my kid never has them, because I really don't need another reason for screamy 3 a.m. wake-ups?
Growing pains are real — in fact, they're pretty common. Estimates vary, but one Australian study found that as many as 37 percent of 4-to-6-year-olds experience these recurring aches, which typically afflict a child's lower limbs in the afternoon or at night. Bizarrely, though, growing pains actually have nothing to do with growing — more on that later. And while they are nothing to worry about and usually disappear by the age of 14, growing pains can be confused with more serious health problems — so it's good to know what they are and what they aren't.
The term "growing pains" first appeared in a book penned in 1823 by a French doctor, but since then physicians have realized that the peak of these pains, which is at around age 6, doesn't correspond to a period of rapid growth. (A quarter of a person's total growth actually happens during puberty). So it's unlikely that growth has anything to do with growing pains, at least directly. But despite attempts to come up with more accurate monikers (such as "noninflammatory pain syndrome of early childhood"), the old name stuck.
How frequently kids experience growing pains varies — some never get them, others get them five times a year, and a handful of poor souls have them every night. But timingwise, there are a few general rules. First, growing pains usually first appear during the preschool years. "If a child is 8 and all of a sudden has pain at night, it is not growing pains," explains Barbara Ostrov, a pediatric rheumatologist at Penn State University. Second, growing pains only happen in the afternoon or at night, so kids who complain of pain during the day or who wake up stiff or sore in the morning are almost certainly not experiencing growing pains. Most of the time, the pains disappear by around age 14, but some kids will have them throughout their teen-age years.
Growing pains are "bilateral," too, in that they typically affect both sides of the body. This doesn't mean that both sides have to hurt every time — the right leg might hurt one night, and a few days later the left one will act up — but kids who only ever get pains on one side probably aren't having growing pains. And growing pains aren't visible. Your kid might be screaming his head off about his shin, but you should never actually see anything wrong with his shin. If you do — if you see redness or swelling or bruising, for instance — you should take your little one to the doctor, pronto.
So, the definition of "growing pains" is based on when and where the pain happens, not on what causes it. And even today, no one is sure what produces growing pains, but there are several theories backed by (limited) research, and together they suggest that growing pains might have a range of physiological causes. One possibility is that kids who get growing pains have abnormally low pain thresholds. In a 2004 study, Philip Hashkes, at the time a pediatric rheumatologist at the Cleveland Clinic, tested the pain thresholds of 44 children with growing pains by putting pressure on various parts of their bodies, including points that are particularly sensitive to individuals who have chronic pain syndromes like fibromyalgia. After conducting similar tests on 46 children who didn't have growing pains, Hashkes found that much less pressure was needed to incite pain in the children who had nightly growing pains.
Growing pains could in part be the result of overactivity, too. This theory meshes with parental observations that growing pains are often worse on nights after sports practices. These aren't your typical post-workout pains, though — kids are much more at risk for true sports overuse injuries, such as shin splints, in part because growing bones don't handle stress very well. In another study, Hashkes measured, using ultrasound, the bone densities and qualities of 39 kids who experienced growing pains and found they were lower than average. The density and quality of bone drops when it has been overused without having a chance to recover, so the findings suggest that some growing pains may be associated with too much running around. But some researchers aren't convinced by the overuse theory, in part because growing pains often start suddenly in the middle of night, and overused muscles should ache more consistently.
Still, a small 1988 trial found that regular stretching does appease growing pains. Doctors at the Children's Hospital of Eastern Ontario in Canada randomly split 34 kids with growing pains into two groups. The parents of the kids in the first group were taught how to stretch their kids' quadriceps, hamstrings and calves, and were told to do so every morning and evening for 10 minutes. The second group of parents were told to rub their kids' legs when they hurt and to give them painkillers when needed. Nine months later none of the kids in the stretching group were experiencing growing pains, while the kids in the other group were still suffering, on average, about two episodes of pains a month.
Other researchers have proposed that growing pains are sometimes the result of underlying anatomical problems or differences. Double-jointed kids, who are at a heightened risk for fibromyalgia and musculoskeletal disorders, are more likely to have growing pains, for instance. So, it seems, are kids with pronated (flat) feet, which can cause muscle imbalances and fatigue. One small trial found that shoe inserts reduced the severity and frequency of kids' growing pains within three weeks. When doctors took out their shoe inserts, the pain came back in most of the kids. But it's hard to know how much we can conclude from this trial and the stretching one. The children knew they were undergoing a form of treatment, so their improvement could have been in part the result of the placebo effect (which can, it seems, happen to kids) — they may have felt better because they were being treated, but not necessarily because the treatment worked.
Finally, some doctors have pointed out that growing pains are, for some reason, more common in emotionally instable children. In a 1951 paper, for instance, researchers noted that kids with growing pains were "frequently irritable, nervous, afraid of the dark." The implication seems to be that growing pains are either a reflection of emotional problems or perhaps even caused by them, but it's hard to identify the chicken and the egg here: I would be nervous and afraid of the dark, too, if nightfall brought extreme pain.
So, when your kid wakes up in the middle of the night screaming her head off about pain in her legs, how can you be sure she is experiencing growing pains and is not, like, suffering the onset of some horrible disease? Generally speaking, if pains conform to the strict definition of growing pains — if they happen only at night, if they're on both sides, and if they're invisible — your kid is probably fine. Benign bone tumors, often confused with growing pains, usually only cause pain on one side; arthritis (yes, kids can get arthritis) usually causes redness or swelling and often is worst in the morning. Restless legs syndrome, which a study suggests affects 0.5 percent of kids and 1 percent of adolescents, is characterized by a strong desire to move the legs that is sated once that's been done. Parents who are worried about their kids may want to ask for lab tests like X-rays and blood tests to rule out other problems, but the vast majority of time, growing pains are growing pains — they're harmless.
This doesn't necessarily mean they have to be suffered night after night, though. Painkillers like ibuprofen or acetaminophen often do the trick (and you can give them pre-emptively, at bedtime, if your child's pain follows predictable patterns — like if it's always the night after gymnastics practice). Massaging the aching area can help. It might be worth stretching your kids' legs in the morning and at night to see if it makes a difference, too. And if things get really bad, consider a visit to a podiatrist to see if your child might benefit from orthotics. But if nothing works, keep reassuring your child — and yourself — that growing pains do one day go away. Just like the television show. Hey, at least your child doesn't have to endure that.

One of the country's best-known fitness center chains is launching an initiative to wean people from what it calls an over-dependence on New Year's resolutions.
Irving, Texas-based Gold's Gym announced a seven-step "anti-resolution" plan this month designed in part to "break the endless cycle of weight loss resolutions and give consumers a better road map to success — one that results in healthy, lasting change," according to a release from the company.
"Diets don't work," said Robert Reams, a member of Gold's Gym Fitness Institute. "Instead, you must look at the choices you make on a daily basis in the areas of nutrition, exercise, sleep and stress management and make a sustainable plan to change your ways.
"If you do this right you'll only have to do it once and you'll never have to re-visit this concept again," he added.
The company's seven-step "anti-resolution action plan" includes:

Re: old tractor
Probably not enough sales to really set a price. Sometimes if only one bidder things go cheap. Two determined bidders and the price goes out of sight. Set the price you are willing to pay and stick with it. How badly do you want it? Vern

I haven't the faintest idea on price, but make sure you are equipped to handle it, they are VERY heavy for their size. If it is rebuildable it will go high, according to Tractordata.com there were only 85 built.

This many years later it could go for more than the factory cost to build it.
Edit. I say this because inflation is a female dog. My father bought a new 1941 Plymouth FOR $685.00 WITH ALL THE BELLS AND WHISTLES. What does a new car go for 30 or 40 tomes that. The 2 or 3 % inflation next year is on last years principal and last years 3 0r 4%. Then we had those 17% years too.

Robinson's impact felt league-wide
Several players weigh in on the difference No. 42 made to them
Putting into words what Jackie Robinson means has been a welcome challenge for 61 years and counting now, for people in and beyond baseball. It's an evolutionary conversation that has gone from curiosity to admiration to outright celebration.For some, there's really only one word that suffices anymore to describe what Robinson means. "To me, he means everything," Indians ace and reigning American League Cy Young Award winner C.C. Sabathia said. "I wouldn't get a chance to play for this game if it wasn't for him. He means so much to so many people, but he means everything to me because, without him, I wouldn't get this opportunity. "I don't know how he could put up with the stuff he put up with -- racial slurs, even from coaches and some of his teammates. That had to be tough to deal with. He definitely handled it with class. He was obviously talented enough, but you have to be a strong-minded person to put up with some of that garbage he had to put up with. The stuff we get in Chicago is nothing compared to what he had to go through." Leading up to Jackie Robinson Day, MLB.com's reporters asked players and coaches to answer the query: What does Jackie Robinson mean to me?
The sampling of responses below speak to many of Robinson's outstanding qualities, some of which made him the best person to break baseball's -- and society's -- color barrier on April 15, 1947, some of which have become obvious over time as Robinson's legacy grows.Courage:
"Jackie Robinson is the No. 1 reason why I'm playing this game. I played for Frank Robinson and met Willie Mays and heard all the stories of what he went through with segregation not only in baseball, but the whole world. For him to go through what he did, he was at another level."
-- Rangers outfielder Marlon Byrd "He's the one who had to go through the most change, and with change comes a lot of conflict. I can't even fathom what he had to go through. Yet he was strong enough to endure all that and compete and play well. So he's definitely an icon and should be honored for what he's done."
-- Giants outfielder Rajai Davis "The first thing that comes to mind when I think about him is the magnitude of what he did. I can't imagine what he went through, and then he had to give it his all on the field. He had to work harder than anyone else."
-- Dodgers first baseman James Loney "The things he went through and how he handled it, which was with dignity and grace, it's an example for all the people who have to go through tough times and not let it get the best of them. He's an inspiration to me on the baseball field but also in other things in life."
-- Astros reliever Wesley Wright Leadership:
"So many of us got to play baseball because of Jackie Robinson. The things he had to put up with. It was torture for him, I know it had to be. But, also to show America that black people are capable and smart enough to compete in this sport."
-- Phillies shortstop Jimmy Rollins "It isn't only what he meant to the opportunity for blacks, but for minorities period. The more people wear [No. 42], the more we never forget."
-- A's outfielder Emil Brown "Me being Dominican, Jackie Robinson gave me a chance to play. ... It was tough for the Latin guys after Jackie Robinson, guys like Roberto Clemente. After Jackie Robinson, they got a chance. Imagine how hard it was for Jackie Robinson to be the first guy to be able to play. I thank Jackie Robinson because I'm here."
-- Rockies center fielder Willy Taveras "If it wasn't for him I might not be in this locker room. He's the one who paved the way for African Americans to get into baseball, and it's just an honor even to wear that number."
Pirates outfielder Nyjer Morgan "I'm just glad to put on that No. 42. and just honor him. It means a lot to me. I don't know if it's because I'm from the same place [Cairo, Ga.]. If it weren't for Jackie, a lot of things wouldn't be possible for me."
-- Nationals outfielder Willie Harris "We definitely needed a person like him with his mental capability to be able to withstand some of the things he withstood and just his flat-out ability to play the game. To be able to make that transition so smooth for us and to give everybody an opportunity to play this game a lot sooner than it probably would have happened was big."
-- Red Sox center fielder Coco Crisp "The way I look at it, he gave me the opportunity to play today because of what he did. He opened a lot of doors. So you just have to give the person respect who opened up a lot of doors. I've learned a lot more about him since I've been in the Major Leagues, because I wanted to learn more about him. He did a lot of things for me and other players. What he did wasn't easy, and I know that."
-- Rays outfielder Carl Crawford "I think what he did for us is he allowed us to have the opportunity to dream big and not think small all the time. That's what he reminds me of -- every time I'm down on myself, you get a chance to think back on the things he went through and what he accomplished so every black athlete who is playing any sport today could feel good about themselves."
-- Cubs outfielder Daryle Ward Professionalism:
"Growing up a Giants fan, of course, I rooted against the Dodgers, so I rooted against Jackie Robinson. But one thing I began to notice was that when he got caught in a rundown, he never got tagged out. He always seemed to find a way out of it."
-- Dodgers manager Joe Torre "My reflection of Jackie Robinson was the way he played the game and how hard he played. He had the admiration of his teammates and conducted himself professionally, on and off the field."
-- Braves outfielder Mark Kotsay "My grandfather watched him in the Negro Leagues and said he wasn't the best player on the field, but he was the best player to deal with what he had to deal with. The thing that impresses me the most about what Jackie did was keeping his composure. It wasn't just on the field -- it was off the field, too. He had players going after him at second base and guys yelling racial slurs. All the while, he was separated from his teammates [on the road]. That must have been the hardest thing."
-- Yankees reliever LaTroy Hawkins Character:
"I got to meet his family -- Rachel Robinson and some others. That was great. For his daughter, just to hear stories about how courageous a dad he was and what he had to go through. It was tough. I wish I could've met him. He did so much for African Americans in this game and Latinos. Jackie was a strong man and a proud man -- what courage and character he had."
-- Blue Jays DH Frank Thomas "What [Robinson] did, what he had to go through, I couldn't have done it. [People] know my temper. I'm glad he was able to do it for me so I didn't have to deal with that. The baseball things he did were cool, but the mental part, that's what impresses me. People should give him more credit for that."
-- Brewers first baseman Prince Fielder "He was a window that was opened and it stays open. He was a man who symbolized a lot of things. He's the Roberto Clemente of America for us, in a different way. For Roberto to be there, Jackie had to be there. He was a guy who withstood adversity. He's the only guy that I know who had it on paper that he would not take any repercussions. Mahatma Gandhi did it, but he didn't put it in writing. Martin Luther King did it, but he didn't put it in writing. This guy actually wrote it down. That's not an easy thing to do."
-- Mariners pitcher Miguel Batista "It's important that people see how important it was for Jackie Robinson to take the first major step for blacks and other races in the game of baseball. It's an incentive to have a person like that who's a role model, and realize that as you go on in life, it may not always be peaches and cream, but if you put your best foot forward, good things can happen, and that's what Jackie Robinson has done for many people in the game."
-- Cubs bullpen coach Lester Strode "If he were alive today, I'd just want to talk to him see how he could mentally focus day in and day out. Not just playing the game well, but the pressure with people giving him a hard time because of his race. The game is already hard enough sometimes, but to have the added pressure on top of that, I don't know how a person could focus and concentrate and do the great job that he did -- not just on the field, but also paving the way for other players to play after him."
-- Reds center fielder Corey Patterson "I look at what he did with his life, using baseball as a platform to accomplish what he wanted socially, and it was bigger than baseball -- much bigger. He represented equality, not just for black people, but for Latin people and others from across the waters. It was the time of civil rights in this country, and he stood tall and carried a heavy weight for all people. ... As I got older and was able to explore it, reading stuff, I began to realize what he tried to do, his role in the whole Civil Rights Movement -- and he became a much bigger figure in my mind. I saw all that, what Jackie meant to society, and I started putting the puzzle together."
-- Angels outfielder Garret Anderson

What is the future of stuff and why does it matter to Portland?

For the first time in more than a decade, Rose opted not to sign autographs Saturday at his customary shop just walking distance from the National Baseball Hall of Fame a day before the annual Induction Ceremonies. The memorabilia shop is now named "Pete Rose Ballpark Collectibles." Rose added his name last year. This year, he decided not to give his time, which may be a good sign, said the owner.
"It's good that he's staying under the radar this year," said Andrew Vilacky, the store's owner and a long-time friend of Rose. "Things are going on behind the scenes. At least that's what I hear."
Rose has applied for reinstatement to Major League Baseball and Commissioner Bud Selig has been pondering the question since late last year. Rose was banned in 1989 when, as manager of the Reds, he signed a document admitting that he bet on sporting events.
"Publicly, it has been very quiet," DuPuy said. "But behind the scenes it's still very much on our radar screen."
Selig hasn't tipped his hand, but will reportedly speak informally about Rose to many of the 44 living Hall of Famers who are expected in attendance this weekend.
Two weeks ago, in Chicago for the All-Star Game, Selig said he was still weighing the merits of the issue.
"Look, we're being very deliberate," he said. "(Former Commissioner) Bart Giamatti gave Pete the right to apply for reinstatement and he has properly done so. And I let it wait a long time. I understand the sensitive feelings on all sides.
"As you well know, there's a lot of people who feel strongly about Pete in a positive way and a lot of people who feel strongly the other way. But I'm going to do what I think is right. He deserves to be seriously considered and that's what's happening right now."
Rose, for his part, has generally tried to stay mum about the process since it began last December. But a reporter from SI.com caught up with him in Macon, Ga., this week when he was in that town to throw out the first ball at a minor league baseball game.
Sounding contrite at times and speaking more in terms of "when" he would get back into baseball, than "if," Rose said he wants to make amends for past mistakes.
"I think people understand that I understand I made some mistakes and I can't change them," Rose said. "They already happened. And they are willing to give me a second chance. I haven't been a whiner.
"People look up and they say, 'Gee, that guy has been suspended since '89. That is 14 years. That is a long time.' For most people, enough is enough."

McClelland umpires 4,000th MLB game
Crew chief's milestone comes with strange call in ninth inning
- Paulino on track to face Yanks on Saturday
- Mendoza likely to switch to long-man role
- Holland alters mechanics, making progress
- Getz, Holland taking part in Equipment Drive
DETROIT -- Tim McClelland marked his 4,000th game as a Major League umpire in the Tigers' 9-3 victory over the Royals on Tuesday night at Comerica Park. The evening began pleasantly enough, but McClelland didn't get through his milestone game without some controversy.
McClelland was congratulated by the managers, Ned Yost of the Royals and Jim Leyland of the Tigers, during the pregame conference at the plate, and he posed for a photo with them and his three umpiring cohorts, Brian Runge, Marvin Hudson and Ted Barrett. McClelland, the crew chief, was stationed at second base.
All went well until the ninth inning, when Jeff Francoeur's bid for a home run bounced off the top of the left-field wall, then was speared by center fielder Austin Jackson. Though the ball was in play, McClelland made an out signal and confusion reigned for a few minutes. Francoeur, thinking he'd been called out, wandered past second base and was tagged by the Tigers.
In the end, McClelland admitted his mistake, restored order by ruling Francoeur had a double and the teams finished the ninth inning.
"You'd think a guy with 4,000 games would have a little more experience than to mess up a play like that," McClelland said good-naturedly.
Leyland argued the resolution for a time, claiming Francoeur should be out because he'd been tagged, but later joked that he was only trying to be a part of McClelland's No. 4,000. Yost merely said: "There was no real argument there. He made a mistake and he rectified it."
McClelland is remembered for being the home-plate umpire in the famous George Brett pine tar game of July 24, 1983, at Yankee Stadium. McClelland laid the bat across home plate and called out Brett, nullifying his home run and sending the enraged Royals star charging at him. The Royals protested, got the home run reinstated and won when the game was completed later.
At Saturday night's game against the Yankees at Kauffman Stadium, the first 20,000 fans will receive a mini pine tar bat to commemorate that historic incident.
Paulino on track to face Yanks on Saturday
DETROIT -- If things continue to progress for right-hander Felipe Paulino, he'll make his first start of the season for the Royals against the Yankees on Saturday night at Kauffman Stadium.
Paulino will throw a side session at Comerica Park on Wednesday, and if that goes well, he'll face the Bronx Bombers, matched against Hiroki Kuroda, according to Royals manager Ned Yost.
Experiencing no effects of the right forearm strain that put him on the disabled list in Spring Training, Paulino pitched 6 1/3 scoreless innings on Monday in a rehab start for Double-A Northwest Arkansas.
"That's why I went to the Minor Leagues -- to show what I can do," Paulino said after rejoining the Royals. "It was pretty good yesterday -- 90 pitches, that's what I was looking for. I'm just waiting to get back to the Major Leagues and help this team."
His velocity was good, up in the 94-97 mph range, and he issued no walks. And he had no recurrence of the forearm problem.
"No problem at all, I feel strong and healthy now," he said. "I'm ready to go."
Mendoza likely to switch to long-man role
DETROIT -- If Felipe Paulino is cleared to start the third game of the Yankees series, he'll take Luis Mendoza's spot in the Royals' rotation.
And if Paulino is activated on Saturday, the Royals will be dropping one of the 13 current pitchers. One influencing factor will be manager Ned Yost's preference to have two relievers who can go long distance in innings.
A big reason is that going into Tuesday night's game, the Royals' starting pitchers had combined for the fewest total innings of any rotation in the Major Leagues with 106. Cleveland had the next fewest with 116 1/3.
"I've got to have two [long men] right now the way our pitching staff's going," Yost said.
For now, his long men are Mendoza and Nate Adcock, who threw 5 1/3 innings and 93 pitches on Sunday.
"We need to get more depth out of our starting rotation," Yost said.
Holland alters mechanics, making progress
DETROIT -- Reliever Greg Holland thinks he's finding relief from what's been causing that pain on the left side of his rear rib cage.
"We made a few slight mechanical fixes, and hopefully that's going to keep it from happening again," Holland said. "I was just kind of falling off [the mound] too much, and it was getting me in a bind. I was getting too arched, and it was causing me to land on the side of my foot and it was really pinching back here."
Holland, on the disabled list since April 21, was feeling good after throwing on Monday. He's scheduled to throw 25-30 pitches on Wednesday, throw in batting practice over the weekend, then possibly go on a Minor League rehab assignment on Tuesday for at least two outings. He hopes to be ready for bullpen duty during the Royals' series against the White Sox in Chicago from May 11-13.
Holland believes the slight alteration in his delivery is working.
"Basically, it's just getting me back to where I was," he said. "I think we've got it figured out now."
Getz, Holland taking part in Equipment Drive
DETROIT -- Second baseman Chris Getz and pitcher Greg Holland are leading the Royals' eighth annual Baseball Equipment Drive on Thursday and Friday at Kauffman Stadium. The drive, presented by the Baseball Tomorrow Fund and Rawlings, will benefit the Alta Vista Charter School baseball program.
Royals Wives will help collect new and gently used baseball and softball equipment outside the Diamond Club and the Majestic Team Store on the Field/Plaza Level from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. CT before and during the games against the Yankees.
Cash donations also will be accepted. Fans making a $40 contribution will receive a baseball and fans making a $10 donation will receive a photo card, each item autographed by a Royals player of choice while supplies last.
